Jamborees are gatherings of several teams that play against one another on a more limited basis than during the regular competitive season. The winner of each match is determined by the results of three games (in regular season matches, a team must win three out of five games to become the winner). Jamborees get the season off to a good start for all participating teams. At the O-H Jamboree, the...
By KATHY TAYLOR I was really looking forward to getting to know Duane and Jonnie Pitts better through this article. I was a little intimidated though, after all, Dr. Pitts is the oracle, the grand poobah of grammar, spelling and all things composition. After many years of service, teaching and devotion to this community, they recently retired and have moved to Moses Lake. Duane is still involved assisting with the transition for the new English teacher here. His heart still...
Zach Schafer came into The Record office on Monday to report on a storm which had touched down at their place in the country on Sunday night. He and his family were watching a Seahawks game on TV at his parent’s (Tom and Lynette Schafer) house in Odessa on Sunday when a weather warning came across the screen about a possible tornado between Ruff and Marlin, which is right where their place in the country is located. They decided to head home out of concern for their dogs. The...
Aqu-ammonia leak injures four in Harrington By MARJORIE WOMACH Friday, an ordinary afternoon in Harrington, the ambulance siren sounded as it rounded the corner past city hall about 1:30 p.m. Within five minutes, the town's atmosphere was changed.

Ryan Behrens and Cal Gilmer had been taken by ambulance to the hospital in Davenport, and Ryan was soon air-lifted to Harbor View in Seattle. The...

By this time next week, Deutschesfest will be over, and a lot of hardworking volunteers will be able to step back and heave a sigh of relief. For a little while, anyway. We need to make it known that we appreciate all the effort that goes into making our hometown celebration a success year after year. There are the people who put in hours and hours organizing the biergarten, the parade, the vendors and entertainment. There are the people who are new and leap in with both...

By DR. E. KIRSTEN PETERS As an aging citizen of Scandinavian descent, I dread this time of year. Each evening the sun sets significantly earlier. Deep in the bones of us northern people is the notion that summertime is the season of life and hope while winter is, well, cold and horribly dark. This week all of the globe enjoys roughly 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of night. The "reason for the season" relates to the Earth's orbit around the sun. During summertime, our...
Last Thursday the USDA released its September Crop Report. With the hot, dry weather the cornbelt has experienced over the last month and the 2-3% decline each week in the condition of the corn crop, the question was how much would corn yields and production drop in this report. The answer was none, in fact USDA increased yields by one bushel per acre and increased production back up to 13.84 billion bushels. While ending stocks for this year were decreased to 661 million bu, the higher production numbers pushed ending...

To the Editor: Some time ago Bin Laden was killed by a group of seals and it was reported that he was buried at sea. Mr. Obama proudly announced the well-planned attack and proudly reported that our war problems were basically over. Drones had been successful in killing some of his key followers. Mr. Obama suggested that those who hated the United States would be powerless without leadership. I believe that he has underestimated the hatred and determination of these people! Let’s stop and think! This is an enemy that will g...
Frank and Leo Guth were among Odessa’s first business operators. Just as the town was incorporated in 1902, several new businesses opened to make Odessa a full service center.
