DAVENPORT – If a local here is looking to sell their house, now may be the time. Davenport is currently a seller’s market, with demand outweighing the supply. “If houses are priced (correctly) they sell right away…sometimes within hours,” Katz Realty designated broker and city councilmember Patrick Katz said. “Prices have been increasing over the last month…offer prices are usually above what the (house) was listed for.” When a house does sell, it’s usually to an out-of-towner looking to move to a place with more of a se...

DAVENPORT – Two bald eagles were found dead by a citizen on Miles Road near Fort Spokane on March 3. The eagles' talons were still locked together when they were found.

DAVENPORT—It can be an easy trick to fall victim to: A call comes from an unrecognized number. Perhaps this caller is informing someone that they owe money to the bank, or that their child has been arrested and needs bail money over the phone. However, almost always, these calls are not legitimate, and people that give money to these scammers are being duped. But when one has a landline without caller identification, or can’t tell whether a request for money is legitimate or fake, how can they figure out some telltale sig...
DAVENPORT – Another sign that winter is drawing to a close comes Sunday, March 14 at 2 a.m., when Daylight Savings Time (DST) arrives and the clocks advance an hour to preserve more daylight at the end of the day. And yes, that means an hour of sleep is lost, not gained. 48 states observe DST, with the exceptions being Arizona and Hawaii. However, the Navajo nation in Arizona does observe DST. Benjamin Franklin and William Willett were the original thinkers of DST, but the United States didn’t implement summer daylight sav...

The weather followed the groundhog’s prediction, winter returned this week to the area as March came in like a very big lion.

ODESSA – The Odessa Record was named Business of the Year for 2019 during a Chamber of Commerce program at noon Tuesday, March 9.
