Fourth of July, Harrington One of the earliest recorded celebrations of the Fourth of July in Lincoln County was this peculiar mention: “The Davenport fireworks were let off in the suburbs of that city, for the reason, I suppose, no buildings are insured. A few boys enjoyed them, but those who remained to witness them were at the dance when the display took place, and did not see the balloons ascend. The celebration was purely Republican, even Democratic office-seekers being scarce.” (Sprague Herald: 7-12-1888) For a fra...

1 Years Ago The Odessa Record July 6, 1917 Odessa boy ordained priest. “And I will go in to the altar of my God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.” These words of Holy Writ spoken by the Psalmist of old, were most deeply impressed upon the minds of all that attended the Tuesday morning service at the St. Joseph’s church when Rev. Paul Kucera of the Benedictine monastery at Lacey, Washington, sang his first solemn high mass at his old home church. Father Paul is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. F.L. Kucera of Odessa. He wa...
1 Years Ago The Odessa Record June 29, 1917 Tennis tourney won by Odessa. The tennis tournament Sunday between Lind and Odessa tennis clubs furnished some close and, in spite of the unfavorable tennis weather, very enjoyable matches.

Several weeks ago a gentleman dropped a recipe by The Odessa Record office, but staff did not catch his name. Our policy is to not print recipes anonymously, but the recipe concept intrigued me. The recipe arrived as a list of ingredients but no amounts and minimal directions, making it difficult for many readers to know how to proceed. I do love a puzzle, so I did a little experimenting and the following, after several attempts, is my version with the list of ingredients as I...

To the Editor: In response to Patricia Bates letter regarding the U.S. gun culture: She states that congress can stop the violence simply by the laws they can pass, yet we already have laws prohibiting murder and assault. What further laws is she referring to? Does she think outlawing guns will solve the problem? Gun ownership is prohibited or restricted in England and France. Did it prevent shootings there? She has mistakenly stated facts about the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017. This bill, HR38, can be read in its...

It would appear from the discussion by the members of the Odessa Public Development Authority, who met Monday evening, June 19, in the Guild Room of the Odessa hospital, that the biodiesel plant in Odessa will likely not be sold to Global Clean Energy, a company that the Authority has been courting for the past several months. Unfortunately for Odessa, the change in administration in the other Washington has also made biofuels much less favorable as products for development. Mary Beth Lang of the Washington Dept. of...

Noxious weeds on lots within the town limits need to sprayed or hoed out to keep them from spreading. Koshia in particular is growing like crazy right now, and this is a good time to take care of it. The Town of Odessa has an enforceable ordinance mandating that property owners rid their land of noxious plants. If the problem persists, the Town will notify property owners by letter that they are not in compliance. After that, the Town can take care of the problem itself and bill the property owner for the cost of doing so....
