ST. JOHN – The Odessa Tigers (3-0) juggernaut hit the century mark for the first time this season as they dominated the St. John-Endicott-LaCrosse Eagles (0-2) on the gridiron Wedneday night, March 3.

ODESSA – The Odessa Record was named Business of the Year for 2019 during a Chamber of Commerce program at noon Tuesday, March 9. The Record and Volunteer of the Year Dale Ramm received their honors a year late due to the coronavirus shutdown ordered by Gov. Jay Inslee. That shutdown prompted the cancelation of last year's banquet. Because of the ongoing restrictions, the chamber is not planning a 2021 banquet. The Odessa Record's award came as a big surprise owners and s...

March and St. Patrick's Day brings corned beef to mind for many folks doing the meal planning. Corning, the old time method of preserving meat before refrigeration came along is done for us and the product is readily available in the markets. The method is not difficult but our modern standards require refrigeration and 10 days of curing time. Most of us don’t want to sacrifice the refrigerator space, but the end result is worth doing at least once in your lifetime. There a...
I was raised in Odessa, and conservative. I manned phone banks in Spokane for Nixon in ‘68. Now, 50 years later, I have a second worldview. I’ve had much more life experience, and am acutely aware of the anger you feel for those who question your long-held beliefs. As children in Odessa, we knew the greatest generation had fought WWII, and we respected the flag in their honor. Unfortunately, we’ve had less popular wars like Vietnam. Coming home, the numbers of American flags waved or hugged didn’t matter much to me. Democra...
ODESSA – As the town council met in person Monday night for the first time since Covid restrictions were enacted, Mayor Bill Crossley reported that the date for Odessa’s community cleanup days has been moved to April 15-16.

Crossley also reported that several eastern Washington mayors have joined together in signing a letter to Governor Jay Inslee, requesting that their municipalities be...

DAVENPORT – After originally not including teachers and childcare workers in the current 1B phase of vaccination, Gov. Jay Inslee pivoted and declared educators and licensed childcare workers should be added to the current phase “immediately.” Inslee’s flip came after President Joe Biden issued a directive that all states should prioritize the vaccination of educators and childcare workers. Inslee said he will “soon” announce when the state will prioritize grocery store workers, farmworkers, food processors, bus drivers and...

ODESSA – Several Odessa businesses are having difficulty hiring employees due to the housing shortage in Odessa. Offering people jobs is one thing, helping them find a place to live is quite another. Commuting from Spokane or even from some closer communities loses its appeal over the long term, even when businesses are offering additional gas stipends or other more generous benefits. Currently, there are no Odessa homes listed with local realtors. Michelle Melgren with Katz Realty of Davenport told The Record that the few ho...

ODESSA – Over the last few weeks before the winter break, students at Odessa High School and Junior High School were busy conducting independent science research entitled the Second Quarter Research Project. This project is designed to encapsulate the knowledge and the ability to formulate a testable research question, design and execute an experiment with quantifiable results, scientifically compare the experimental results with a control method and discuss their findings with the rest of the class via a formal p...

Well, this is embarrassing. A few short weeks after deciding to keep everyone apprised of local activities, I have decided to stop. Now that I am fully removed from the former quilt shop, I have no easy (emphasis on easy) access to the internet. It would cost way too much to get wireless Internet to my house. Dial-up is incredibly frustrating because of the antiquity of the phone system in Irby, and everybody I know tells me I would not like satellite. OK. I would probably...
1 years ago Mar. 4, 1921 Secretary C.E.

The warm weather that has prevailed during the past week has set the baseball bug buzzing and as a result a baseball meeting has been called at the Kunkel barber shop next Monday night....

ODESSA – Clinic manager Barb Schlimmer has announced that the Odessa Clinic will receive an additional 84 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine this week. Following last week’s mass vaccination at the community center, the original 180 doses were used to inoculate people who had previously signed up on a waiting list. Now she wants to get the word out that additional doses are here, and folks are being urged to call the clinic to put their names on the list for vaccination.
