Jeff also mentioned the railroad tracks were not maintain very well and before they were finally r...
The Odessa-Harrington boys basketball team traveled to Northport Tuesday, February 7, for the first-round 1B District playoffs. Going in they had high hopes of an easy victory. Up by 11 points at the half, they still had high hopes. But their opponents had high hopes, too. After a third quarter in which the two team matched each other point for point, the fourth quarter saw Northport draw the score ever closer. Northport’s Konkler beat the buzzer with a lay-in that sealed the Titans’ fate. The Titans now must make their way...

Odessa’s excellent train service ended abruptly in early 1929, with the opening of the Great Northern Railway’s Cascade Tunnel. With shorter operating time, the railroad eliminated several stops for its express trains. From then on, Odessa was left with only local service, one west-bound train in the morning and the other east-bound in the afternoon. The Record reported the changes which were taking place in its issue of January 31, 1929: Odessa will be one of the towns that will have no reason to rejoice over the Great Nor...
President Obama recently said, “In January, American businesses added another 257,000 jobs,” and that the economy was on a roll. That is great news, but he forgot to tell you that in December and January alone there were more than 2.5 million fewer people working. This is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ own table published Feb. 2, 2012. Mr. Obama, if the economy is getting better, then why did new home sales in the United States hit a brand new all-time record low during 2011? If the economy is getting better, then...

I’m going to change my name to “Turnip,” as in “you can’t get blood from a turnip.” Last week I actually remembered that there was an opportunity to give blood here in Odessa. I was a regular donor when I lived in Portland, and was one unit short of 10 gallons at the time I moved here. Then I took a break. I was dimly aware that the mobile donation van came to Odessa, but didn’t really think about donating here. The break lasted several years. In fact, I didn’t get ba...

Digging deeper wells into the Grande Ronde Basalt layer is one of the options available to the Town of Odessa in the future for meeting its municipal water needs. How deep?
