By KATHY TAYLOR I arrived at the tidy home of Clarene Haynie and we immediately got into a discussion of the huge creek fire that had once raged outside her residence while she was blissfully sitting on her sofa (probably knitting), completely unaware until a neighbor phoned her. She is a woman who can find humor in almost any situation, even a fire. Despite life's ups and downs, she considers herself blessed and happy. It is difficult to leave her presence without feeling...

Spring just may be here. Odessa saw pretty nice weather for the annual Easter Egg Hunt put on by the Odessa Lions Club.

Wagner, an early day physician in Harrington, to the Harrington museum. LaFayette F. Wagner, 28, married Ida A. Sierman on August 21, 1907 at Hope, Bonner County, Idaho. Since Dr. L.F.

The weather market has begun in earnest. Over the last month the futures have had quite a few twenty cent trading sessions. Some has been due to the continuing confrontation between Russia and the Ukraine, but most of it has been due to weather forecasts and the USDA Crop Progress Reports which have started to come out every Monday afternoon. The latest Crop Progress Report showed the overall U.S. winter wheat crop rated at 34% good to excellent and 33% poor to very poor, about the same as last week and about the same as a ye...
The Society was organized in 2013 by a group of concerned citizens who want to see Odessa’s Old Town Hall have a future in our community, while honoring our community’s past. In our first year, with the town’s manpower, we tackled some immediate needs of the building, like plumbing issues and a leaky roof. We started a financial nest egg for improvements with the first annual rummage sale. Safety for those using the building currently is of utmost importance, so our first major improvement goal is to restore the front and sid...

On a picture-perfect Sunday afternoon, several groups of Odessa residents hiked the newly defined and marked Odessa Craters Trail north of town. The high school chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) had spent time working with Chris Shafer of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to remove encroaching sage brush and larger rocks from the existing trail, which is on BLM land. In some places, the students had placed stones aligned along the side of the trail to...
The flowering plant above is arrowleaf balsamroot, a native to western North America and associated with sagebrush communities including basin big sagebrush. The picture above was captured along the newly improved Odessa Craters Loop Trail on the hike hosted by the FBLA on Sunday, April 13.

The truck was of 1988 vintage and was purchased used. It currently has a broken axle, leaking cylinders and faulty brakes that...

1 years ago From The Odessa Record April 17, 1914 The state immigration committee, in an effort to bring more settlers to agricultural lands in Washington, has made a plan to make that happen.
