To the Editor: I am writing this in response to the “Letter to the Editor” written by Briette Boss in last week’s Odessa Record. I will begin by saying everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion, but not their own set of facts. Miss Boss neglected to ask/interview any of the administration at the Odessa School District as to why the cheer squad does not currently ride the bus to games. Perhaps the information provided below will shed light on any continued concerns. In years past, the cheer squad has ridden the b...
Football The Tiger football team was scheduled to play Wellpinit Friday, September 29, but not enough officials could be found to handle the Friday night game. The three gentlemen officiating Thursday’s junior-high football game were willing to add on the high school game after the junior-high game. Quarterback Camden Weber completed all three of his attempted passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns. Marcus King caught one TD pass for 42 yards, and Colton Hunt caught two passes for a total of 61 yards and one TD. Brady W...
DAVENPORT—In an effort to double-down on its mission to serve all of Lincoln County, Davenport Theatrical has announced a new name, Wheatland Theatre Company, and a season of four upcoming productions, with performances throughout the region. Following last July’s “Big Fish,” which saw record-high ticket sales, the company announced that it would discontinue producing new shows until more volunteers could be found. Soon after, dozens of responses started pouring in from interested volunteers. Then a small miracle happene...

To the Editor: I was a cheerleader all throughout high school here in Odessa. When I was a freshman, we cheerleaders were allowed to ride the bus with the football players to all the out-of-town games. Over the years since my freshman year of high school in 2013, the girls of the Odessa cheer team have been unable to ride the bus due to excuses from football coaches, players and the school. After learning that this is still going on and that the 2017-2018 cheerleaders cannot ride the bus to attend out-of-town games, I thought...
The 47th Odessa Deutschesfest appears to have drawn a good crowd. No final figures have as yet been submitted to The Record, but our view from being at various venues was that lots of people came and all appeared to be having a good time. The book sale that benefits the Odessa Public Library made its largest profit ever. Nate Lathrop of Rolling Thunder Pizza and sponsor of Saturday's all-ages dance and Sunday's motorcycle show called it "the best Fest ever!" A description of...
Saturday, September 16, was a beautiful day with the sun shining, a slight breeze in the air which made for a nearly perfect temperature all day. It was the kind of day that Pastor Tim would have loved, and you could feel his smile and hear his one-of-a-kind chuckle with every new act. Hosted by Tammy Carlson Tokas and with both adult and youth divisions, she allowed sign-ups until the very last possible minute. Nate Lathrop, 51, opened the show with an interesting array of...

Another Deutschesfest is in the books. We have had a little rain to wash off the summer dust and smoke from wildfires. Gardens are beginning to wind down, but you may still have a few summer squash sitting and tomatoes ripening. Gwen Clavel shared the recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Cake that she brought to a recent quilting meeting. She found the recipe at www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes website. This ultra-moist, super-rich chocolate cake may even fool the zucchini haters into...

If you are new to Medicare part B within the past 12 months, you should consider calling the Odessa Clinic and making an appointment for your “Welcome to Medicare” visit. This is not a physical exam. This is an introductory visit for your provider to review your medical and social history as it relates to your health, education and counseling about preventive services. Your visit will include: • Certain screenings, shots and referrals for other care, if needed • Height, weight and blood pressure measurements • A calculati...
Last week The Odessa Record included a Deutschesfest insert. In the insert on page 3 is a stock recipe for Apple Strudel. Please Do Not use that recipe. Reason one, amounts in metric or US are incorrect. At best, you will end up with goop suitable for hanging wallpaper. Reason two, this is not the style of strudel served during Fest, as it is a rolled rather than stretched dough. The filling ingredients listed are typical of an Austrian style strudel. Most Germans from Russia Odessa area settlers made strudel with a...
Welcome to Odessa and the Odessa Deutschesfest. This is our town’s moment to shine and to show our hospitality to the many guests who visit us. The festival began in 1971 and is now celebrating its 47th year. New generations take over the tasks associated with it from their parents and grandparents. This year especially, a cadre of younger residents and former residents have joined forces to give the festival some updates and new life. So what’s new this year, some of you are likely to ask. One of the biggest changes will occ...

In last week's Deutschesfest supplement to The Record, we spelled the name of Biergarten chair Tami Smith incorrectly. She is also serving this year for the third time, not the second, and her co-chair (not vice chair) in Lindsy Starkel. Also problematical in the supplement, Laura Estes reports in her Welcome to My Kitchen column (see page 3), is the apple strudel recipe we ran. She graciously sent us the recipe used by the Odessa Christ Lutheran Church for those of our readers who might like to try making it at...
