Recipes that include ingredients used in an unexpected or non-traditional way intrigue me. Maybe necessity was the mother of invention or, as is often the case now, dietary needs create new ingredient combinations. Charlene Kagele served Blueberry Squares at a recent quilters gathering. The recipe calls for a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) which replace some of the fat one would expect to find in crumb crust. She found the recipe on Allrecipes.com. Blueberry Squares Crust:...
I am sitting here at my dining room table looking out the window as I prepare to write this column. My thoughts go back to May 24, 2016, the day we moved to Odessa. In my first Meet your neighbors column in November 2016, I mentioned the warmth and love we felt from the wonderful people in this town and how we felt welcomed as we got out into the community. The only thing that has changed from that time until now is that things are even better. Thank you again to our Odessa...

It's the morning of Saturday, April 29, of Spring Fling in Odessa, and I'm getting ready to follow through on a commitment I made just a few days before. I am meeting Sean Owsley, lead singer of the Blue Mustangs band and the morning news anchor for KHQ-6 news in Spokane to conduct my first solo interview. I'm not nervous, which was exactly what I had hoped for. The main reason I chose him for my first interview is that he seemed like a very down-to-earth person. I had been ir...

The second item is a special chair for use in the Odessa Clinic that will allow practitioners to...
1 Years Ago The Odessa Record May 11, 1917 Six Odessa boys answer the call. Arthur Schatz was one of the smallest young men in Odessa, too short by an inch to meet either army or navy specifications, but he certainly started something when he left Saturday for Spokane where he enlisted in Uncle Sam’s aviation corps. The ice being broken, six more young men, John A. Schoonover, Cecil Jenks, Otto Wagner, Edward Johnson, Virgil Harrison and Edward Weber, all fit for any branch of service left for Spokane to take the examinatio...

By creating a fund we can accept donations from individuals and families that want to see the cemetery maintained as a beautiful spot for our ancestors and...
