In 1916, there were no cross-state highways in Washington. The road through Odessa, known as the North Central Highway, extended from Davenport to Vantage Ferry, and the Sunset Highway went through from Spokane to Wenatchee. That year, there was talk of forming a “good roads association,” to promote the development of a better transportation system. The Record carried this article 95 years ago in its issue of October 6: The Record advocated last week a Good Roads Association The plea was made simply on general principles and...
The cards were being dealt and sometimes in the heat of the game it takes some time to sort out the diamonds from the hearts and the spades from the clubs as the colors of red and black become a blur. Such is the case with our lives at times. At this moment in time, it appears this will be my last article for “The Record”, as my health situation is under a total medical disability and I am not working. So for “the record” I remind you one and all that we are under the curse o...

When I received The Odessa Record on Saturday and got to the second page I saw a letter to the editor attacking Lise Ott on an article that she wrote on Sept. 1 that hurt someone from Harrington. I have said in the past that the first thing I read in the paper is the history, but not anymore, as I enjoy the stories that Lise writes. So I read them first. I have been racking my brain trying to remember what was said, but no luck. But I am sure if it had been something terrible I would have remembered it. We live in a small...

And even if it wasn’t enough, the idea of pay-for-play would at best be considered a logistical nightmare. “Where would the money come from? How could you pay college football players but not baseball players or members of the women’s field hockey team? And how in the world would you pay men in a way that would...

Several parents attended the regularly scheduled Odessa School District board meeting September 28 to express support for a change in athletic policy. According to the majority, Odessa is the only 1B school that does not allow sixth-graders to “play up” to junior-high level athletics. They contend that since Odessa is now participating in an athletic cooperative, both schools should follow the same guidelines. Support was not unanimous, however. One parent delivered a petition signed by 7th and 8th graders protesting the cha...

Not all of the figures for Deutschesfest are in, but some information was available at Tuesday’s Chamber of Commerce meeting. Biergarten Chairman Ted Bruya and assistant chairman Justin Parr reported that the Biergarten gate receipts and kitchen sales were down somewhat from last year, meaning that fewer visitors likely came to Fest this year (something that most in Odessa had guessed based on their own observations). Due to an increase in prices instituted this year, h...
