No end in summer fallow: The three-quarter inch of moisture which fell in the shape of rain and snow Tuesday night brought the total rainfall since October first up to six inches and also another broad smile upon the faces of the Odessa country farmers who are now jubilant over the prospects for a bumper wheat...
Spring officially begins March 20th. Snowdrops and crocus are blooming, birds are flitting about searching out nesting material. I pulled a few dry weeds and laid them on the garden path to pick up latter. A minute later, a small wren was carrying off choice bits. French Toast is a favorite for spring morning breakfasts, and as we move into the fresh fruit and berry seasons. I recently was in charge of French Toast for a youth breakfast and was asked for the recipe. I make...
My interview this week was within walking distance, just four blocks away from my home. But then anywhere you want to go in Odessa is within walking distance. The weather is beautiful, the birds are singing and the people are friendly along the way. I first met Bill and Vikki Pichon last summer while my husband James and I were taking a walk. They were sitting outside on the front porch of the lovely old Victorian-style house they had recently purchased. I was invited in and...

Hey Odessa! I thought it was time to give you another update on LuLu, the brindle puppy found shortly after Christmas frozen to the ground, starving, so emaciated that even the word emaciated didn't seem to fit. The sight of her was so tragic that my heart broke every time I looked at her. I would sit and sob for what seemed like hours. She'd been shot, not once but twice, was badly wounded, smelled of infection and, to be completely honest, wasn't far from death. Thankfully,...
At the beginning of this school year, Michael Jeske, a member of the Odessa High School Class of 2000, experienced a relapse of the cancer (lymphoma) he was diagnosed with in 2011. At that time, he received an autologous stem cell transplant. Since the cancer came back, Michael has undergone chemotherapy treatments for three months and now lives in Seattle, near Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, where he'll further his treatment.

The sunshine says warmth but if you step outside you will find that it is still on the cool side. My daffodils are about four inches tall, so they are ready for spring. I guess we will just have to wait a little longer. In the meantime, let me introduce you to Tommie and Dolores Nelson. Tommie was born in January of 1947 and grew up on a farm with his parents, six sisters and seven brothers, Tommie being the oldest. They had a garden and raised animals, and his father worked i...

The Odessa Tiger boys basketball team placed fourth in the 1B state tournament played at the Spokane Arena last week. Pomeroy The Tigers faced off against Pomeroy in the first round of games at the Spokane Arena Thursday, February 28.

The Tigers came close to tying the score at one point, but were unable to keep up the pace. Foul trouble a...
The Odessa High School boys basketball team took fourth place at the state 1B tournament in Spokane last week after a grueling post-season of play.

Two Odessa boys earned medals for sportsmanship along the way, Jayd Jennings and Marcus King. A full account of the games leading...

1 years ago The Odessa Record March 8, 1918 Bachelor gets a surprise: A number of neighbors and friends planned a successful surprise party and invaded the bachelor home of Gust Nass south of town Saturday night.

To the Editor: Today’s youth no longer grow up in multi-generational households where children, parents and grandparents all reside under the same roof from cradle to grave. Few die at home anymore. Most youth have no idea what death is really all about. The closest they get to it is in video games, where death isn’t real – just shoot-em-up and hit restart to start all over again. Life is not a game where you can push a button and start all over again. So instead of life and death being a natural part of life, we keep our c...

To the Editor: I really enjoyed the family movie night at the Christ Lutheran Church last weekend. It was a “food-raiser” event for the local food bank, and I was able to enjoy my first movie night out with my little Tympist, age 6. I very much enjoyed the movie as well. Another is scheduled for March 18, and I am planning on attending if I can. I hope that lots of people and kids show up with a can for donation, and I hope there are so many people there that they keep it going once a month. Tympist and I will keep com...
