Laura Estes has been an avid quilter since the early 1980s. Because she couldn't always find what she wanted in applique quilt patterns, she began designing her own quilts. One thing lead to another and Laura's Sage Country Quilts became an official business in 1994. The company started with three designs and increased to nine by the fall of 1995 when Estes and her husband, Pat, attended their first International Quilt Market in Houston, Texas. With the addition of new...

Wheat markets have been trying to find a bottom the last week. Recent support has come from concerns about the quality of the European wheat crop due to excessive rains. As much as a third of the French crop may wind up becoming feed wheat. They are having the same falling number issues that many of us experienced last year. During the downtrend in wheat futures over the last three months, speculative commodity funds have accumulated a net short position of over 400 million bu. If the concerns over the quality of wheat in Eur...

Barb Walter of Grannie Barbar’s Cookies and Breads is always testing new recipes to add to her baked goods selection, and often the Sunday Morning Coffee Hour partakers benefit from her experiments. Kyle Tebow suggested I get the recipe and include it here. Barb says this one won’t appear on her baked goods table, as it does not present well as a wrapped cookie, but it is a very tasty, little bit chewy, cookie. Though I have cut the recipe in half, this still makes a huge batch of cookies. Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 cup but...
For any of our readers who might still be wondering why the much-hyped Avista power outage that was scheduled to occur last Wednesday evening never materialized. If you chalked it up to the violent storm that passed over Odessa and then moved on to Colville, Spokane and further east, you would be right. Even though the storm moved quickly through Odessa, dumping enough rain to make the downtown streets flow with several inches of water, the damage it did through a combination of wind, lightning and water as it moved into...
The Odessa School Board held a budget workshop prior to the regular monthly meeting on July 23. The regular meeting opened with a budget hearing which produced no public comment.

The board also hired Tim Hauge as the new bus driver, Jeff Nelson as the high-school a...
To the Editor: Art fest at Deutsches Fest? Art gallery? Where is the bar? Are you ever going to open again? Car wash? Let me try to address some of these questions. For sure, information is best shared in person, so I do encourage anyone to talk to me in the Gallery in the Old Rolling Thunder building in downtown Odessa, Washington USA. Odessa for sure is a unique town, with its own desirable attributes as well as its drawbacks, some unchangeable and some self-imposed. Seventeen miles off of Interstate 90, Odessa is almost...
In August, Linda J. Powell, MD will have completed 22 years at the Odessa Clinic. This is something OMHC would like to proudly acknowledge. Imagine. That means over 140,000 hours of call (not over 15 minutes from town) and more than 30,000 visits in the clinic over the past 22 years! This means treating family and friends as well, and going the extra mile to help oversee the healthcare here in Odessa. She attended medical school at the State University of New York (SUNY) in...

With extremely hot temperatures in the preceding days, the Odessa area should probably be considered lucky to have had only one fire which was contained after about five hours. With all the news about the Carlton Complex fire in the north Cascades and the Buzzard Complex in eastern Oregon, apparently both started by lightning in many places and now being treated as fire complexes, people are a bit on edge and are following the news closely. The weather has been hot and windy,...
