I appreciate America’s veterans, because they protected our country while they were in the service. I also appreciate America’s veterans, because they are role models to most people like me. The reason they are role models is because they go to war without saying a word. They are not afraid of dying. They will be there when you need help. They can also fly planes like nobody’s business. I can show my appreciation for America’s veterans by making sure to say thank you to every veteran I see. I want to make them feel appreci...

Our community is in desperate need of additional EMTs to help serve both 911 calls and emergency transports to other communities for advanced levels of care. Unfortunately, the need for EMTs isn’t unique to our community. Services such as ours struggle to keep quasi-volunteers due to the commitment involved in maintaining EMT certification and due to the time commitment it takes. The need for maintaining competence and credential is, of course, essential and necessary to provide the high quality of service that our patients a...

The long-term outlook for drinking and irrigation water in Moses Lake, Ritzville, Davenport, Othello and throughout the farm-rich Columbia Basin Project is increasingly positive but still has conflict, attendees of the Columbia Basin Development League (CBDL) annual conference were told November 6. The Odessa Aquifer that supplies water to much of the eastern Columbia Basin Project – via wells too deep for replenishment by rain and snow – was the number one topic at the conference held at Big Bend Community College. “There is...
The proposed budget introduced by Mayor Doug Plinski at Monday’s meeting of the Odessa Town Council would increase local water rates by five percent, sewer rates also by five percent and garbage rates by three percent (garbage is a contracted service and the provider has raised rates by that much) in order to keep up with expenses incurred for maintenance and repair of the town’s water and sewer systems. Small cities and towns throughout eastern Washington have been hard hit by reduced revenue streams over the past few yea...

As Veterans’ Day approaches, I begin reminiscing. When I was about eight or nine years old, my father introduced me to Sgt. Wilburn Ross at Fort Lewis. All the non-coms and officers looked up to Sgt. Ross in total awe and reverence. We were in the presence of greatness. I thought then, and do so now think, that this man, a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, walked on water! Years later I would understand what he did as Private Ross on October 30, 1944, near St. Jacques, France. Single-handedly, he killed or wounde...
The residents of Odessa face a question that is being faced by small, rural communities across country: how can we sustain local health care delivery? The fact is our local hospital, Odessa Memorial Health Care has an uncertain future. We are not unique in this uncertainty.

According to iVantage Health Analytics, 66 percent of the nation’s 2,300 rural hospitals are operating at a financial loss. There are lot...
