In 1916, there were no cross-state highways in Washington. The road through Odessa, known as the North Central Highway, extended from Davenport to Vantage Ferry, and the Sunset Highway went through from Spokane to Wenatchee. That year, there was talk of forming a “good roads association,” to promote the development of a better transportation system. The Record carried this article 95 years ago in its issue of October 6: The Record advocated last week a Good Roads Association The plea was made simply on general principles and...

When I received The Odessa Record on Saturday and got to the second page I saw a letter to the editor attacking Lise Ott on an article that she wrote on Sept. 1 that hurt someone from Harrington. I have said in the past that the first thing I read in the paper is the history, but not anymore, as I enjoy the stories that Lise writes. So I read them first. I have been racking my brain trying to remember what was said, but no luck. But I am sure if it had been something terrible I would have remembered it. We live in a small...
When asked how he heard about Honor Flight, Lloyd Tebow replied, “Well, we were over at Barb’s ( Tebow’s daughter, Barb Greenwalt), and she asked if I’d like to go. I said ‘well, I can’t do that.’ Tyler (Tebow’s grandson) was over messing around with some game on the TV and he found the form on the website and filled it out for me.” When his application was received, he was 139th on the waiting list. After about 7 months, Tebow was notified that he would be a part of the Inl...
Several parents attended the regularly scheduled Odessa School District board meeting September 28 to express support for a change in athletic policy. According to the majority, Odessa is the only 1B school that does not allow sixth-graders to “play up” to junior-high level athletics. They contend that since Odessa is now participating in an athletic cooperative, both schools should follow the same guidelines. Support was not unanimous, however. One parent delivered a petition signed by 7th and 8th graders protesting the cha...
The Titan football team got their second win of the season last Friday afternoon, thrashing Selkirk by a score of 42-0.

Odessa quarterback Jared King ran the ball in again for the two-point conversion. King also made the next s...
The Odessa Parent-Teacher Organization bought T-shirts for all students in preschool through twelfth grade. They also bought shirts for all certified, classified staff and administrators. At registration, parents filled out shirt sizes for children, and two weeks later the shirts were delivered. Suzie Deife talked with the Harrington School District, which also provided shirts for the entire school, and “piggy-backed” on the same design. “The PTO raises funds for K-8, but we t...
Well. I got carried away. Miss Smarty-Pants, having so much fun and getting lots of positive feedback from her friends, has put her foot in it. You all know how it feels when you are attacked. A rush of adrenaline hits your system, causing your heart and respiration rates to increase. You may even feel a flutter in your digestive tract. It’s all a part of the “fight or flight” response. You can stand your ground and bare your teeth and take the chance of getting hurt. You c...

Friday night was a great opportunity for a nostalgia trip to the 1960s. At a fundraising concert for the Harrington Opera House Society (HOHS), the Soda Creek 3 folk trio played to a good-sized, appreciative audience.

Most numbers were performed by the trio to two guitars and upright bass, although there were a few...

When Ms. Ott, your roving reporter for The Odessa Record, belittles small communities, as I feel she did in her column of September 1, 2011, perhaps she should follow her own advice. In item #13 of her “big ideas for a small town” article she admonishes us to “not be mean spirited, as it is not helpful, and we should evaluate what we say before we say it.” She infers in her article that several of our small communities are resting on our laurels. I feel that is “mean spirited” and not helpful, when you don’t know the fact...

LaCrosse/Washtucna returned to Odessa Saturday evening of Fest weekend to play the game that was aborted Friday by the failure of a transformer that shut off the field lights.
