The Odessa Town Council met Monday, February 13, in the public library at the community center. Hal and Jan Patterson were introduced as new members of the community attending their first council meeting. A local citizen returned to appear before the council with a complaint about his water/sewer/garbage billing. He said he is being charged double for his service because he has a rental apartment in his garage. The sewer and water lines, however, extend directly from the main house sewer and water lines. There is no second...

John Hilty of Odessa got ready for work Monday morning and headed out of town to his job. Something made him turn around, he told The Record, and head back home because "something just didn't seem right." He found his home in flames. Odessa firefighters rushed to the home on Marjorie.When they arrived, flames were shooting out the front door and windows, and smoke also poured out through the vents in the ceiling/roof. Friends and neighbors gathered around Hilty giving what...
Long-time Odessa Trading Company employee Bud Largent thought it would be a good idea to introduce the company's three newest employees to the Odessa community, especially since all three are from out of the immediate area. OTC manager H.P. Carstensen agreed, so Largent invited The Record to come and talk to the three gentlemen and take their picture. All three are mechanics who work on the farm equipment that OTC sells and services. They made sure that one of the tractors...
Our story last week on the fire that destroyed the home of John Hilty was incorrect on a couple of minor points. Hilty had started out for Moses Lake that morning, but the roads were bad, and he said he just had a feeling he ought to go home. And he did. He settled down in his living room to decide what to do for the day when he heard a loud pop somewhere in the house. In a matter of minutes, flames were forcing him to scramble for a few photo albums and get out of the house. The fire burned very hot and very fast and gutted...
It is now mid-February. The Desert 100 is about six weeks away, and still no one has come forward to be the point person for the hospitality tent at the race site. Odessa Chamber of Commerce president Zach Schafer has enlisted help from various others and has been doing whatever he can to make sure that the tent is provided, but he needs one person to keep track of all the various parts of the whole. Former Chamber president Marlon Schafer is now busy full time providing WiFi access at the site but can be called upon for...

O-H 8 13 7 17 45 ACH 16 23 18 15 72 Many of the team players had just finished a football season that went all the way to the championship game. Perhaps the team had a difficult time getting into the right mindset for basketball. For whatever reason, the play was certainly not up to the abilities these young athletes are known for. Freshman...
The weather in Odessa has left our community with more snow than we have seen in several years. Forecasts for the next week or so vary from whatever weather outlet one chooses to consult but seem to agree that we will have more snow from Friday into Saturday. On Tuesday, town crews cleared much of the slush that followed the warm temperatures on Monday from the main streets and as many side streets as they could manage. Police chief Tom Clark kept vehicles from interfering...
Odessa-Harrington’s Titans took home the second-place trophy at the Tacoma Dome Saturday at the 1B state championship eight-man football game. Neah Bay defeated the Titans and took home the first place trophy. O-H 0 14 6 14 34 NB 6 28 16 14 64 Predictions about the size of the Neah Bay Red Devils versus that of the Titans and the ability of their quarterback to make plays proved true. Nerves appeared to be a factor, too, as bobbled catches, hesitancy and turnovers hindered t...
The girls basketball season has begun (although the boys must wait until the football team members who also play basketball can get in the required number of practices to become eligible to play).

Last Friday in another home game in Odessa, the Titans played Entiat, winning 72-16. Titan quarterback Colton Hunt was still sidelined with a sprained ankle. Freshman backup QB Camden Weber stepped up and led the Titans to another lopsided victory.

Last Friday at home in Odessa, the Titans played the Inchelium Hornets, winning 60-14 in a contest that was much closer than the score would indicate. With quarterback Colton Hunt sidelined with a sprained ankle, freshman backup QB Camden Weber did a credible job of guiding the offense. After some beginning butterflies, he settled down and let his fleet-footed running backs have their chances with the ball. The Hornets marched down the field after receiving the opening kickoff and scored, following up with a two-point...

The Titan football team chalked up another lopsided win last Friday in an away contest against Wellpinit. Gaven Elder led off the O-H scoring with a 26-yard run for a touchdown, with the icing on the cake supplied by his older brother Sage Elder who ran in the two-point conversion to make the score 8-0.

Cont. from last week Although Saturday morning's weather was a bit of a downer for the folks in the parade, as well as for those watching, the event went on as scheduled, and the spectators took their places on the sidewalks to applaud the participants. Tim Coley and Gordon Neale, former Odessa residents and still members of the Oom Pas and Mas polka band, were the announcers for the parade and kept the downtown crowd entertained with their banter. The rain at parade time was...

The 46th annual Odessa Deutschesfest drew enthusiastic crowds to all of the events offered.

The rain cleared up by about noon, and the forecast winds were not as bad as had been predicted. The vendors we talked to said they were prepared for such contingencies and had well-secured booths. The rain that...
