To the Editor: It was a delight to read the story in The Record, April 9 edition, about Walt Harms in the 100-years-ago news. Walt was an uncle to my wife, Ellen Harms. Walt later farmed in the Davenport area. The Henry Harms family came west from Hamburg, Minnesota to Lamona in 1904. Thank you. Echo Geissler Davenport...
Dear Editor, I read the article on the front page of the paper today concerning children building bridges in the creek and skateboarding and riding bicycles on the sidewalk. I agree with much that was said in the article. It is important that we encourage safe activities for our children that do not put them or others at risk. I do have a concern about the general tone of the article, because one of the things I love best about Odessa is the ability for the children of our community to play freely outdoors. When kids are...

Asked by Nimra of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Dear Diary, Oh, I mean...Dear Nimra, Making a diary is like creating your own top-secret book. So, I headed straight for a Washington State University library where there are more than a million books. My friend Linnea Nelson was working with some of the books from the special collections when I went to visit her in the lab. She is a conservator, so part of her job is to repair and re-build old books. It preserves their history. Some of the books had an old smell that wafted up...
Caffeinated alcoholic beverages or alcohol energy drinks are premixed beverages that contain not only alcohol but also include caffeine and other stimulants. Sold in tall, narrow cans similar to non-alcoholic energy drinks, which are popular drinks among teens, they carry teen-friendly names and contain a lot of sugar and flavoring. A typical can has about as much caffeine as a large cup of coffee, along with additives like guarana and ginseng that can speed up the central nervous system. Drinking alcohol and energy drinks...

If you encounter a snake in your yard, DO NOT attempt to capture it. To avoid snakebites while hiking, follow these tips...
Officials are working to identify how the unvaccinated individual was exposed, but there is no indication of recent travel or contact with a known case. This measles case is not related to the large, national outbreak linked to an amusement park in California, which was declared over on April 17, 2015. Spokane County has not had a documented case of measles since 1994. Most people have immunity to the measles through vaccination, so the risk to the general public is low. But with confirmation of measles virus here, the...
