Mann posthumously received the Medal of Honor, the highest recognition a military member can receive, after jumping on a g...

HARRINGTON – With temperatures seemingly surpassing all previous June records for heat and lack of moisture, the human brain slows down to use commonplace sayings, thus conserving energy for other essential tasks. We all know that is was "hotter than blazes," and we wonder at the origin of another of our one-liners, "It's so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk." We found a willing science-minded family to test the validity of the latter phrase in Katie Steward and her t...
[Continued from last week] Fourth, this Gospel teaches that the sign of a man from the dead, like Jesus, the virgin-born, eternal Son of God, will not bring to repentance those who do not listen to Moses and the Prophets. It reads, "And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house—for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear the...

Note: This is a sermon from Sunday, June 6, 2021, and is slightly adapted from the original. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen! Today's Gospel (Luke 16:19-31) is the story of the rich man and Lazarus. I say story because it is not called a parable and is quite possibly a history. Parables, some say, are meant only to teach one thing. But if the story of the rich man and Lazarus is a parable it breaks this rule, because it teaches...
HARRINGTON – Harrington's First Annual Vintage Country Fair officially started June 26 at 11 a.m. with temperatures in the 90s and functioned through 3 p.m., when the heat touched 101 degrees as the fair closed down. Mayor Luck orchestrated a safety area between the vendors and traffic, marked off parking lines, put up signs and safety tape prior to the event. The Homemakers were located in the shade of the repurposed grain bin where they sold out in record time. Several a...
Uffda! By the time you receive this issue of The Odessa Record, temperatures may have cooled to 102 degrees. What do we cook when it is so hot we are already cooking? Salads are always a good choice, as most ingredients don’t require turning on the stove. Merleen Smith brought a cabbage-based salad to a recent event, and it garnered many requests for the recipe. Merleen had put it together using the some-of-this and a-little-of-that method, with ingredients she had on hand. F...

Many would argue that Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro wrote the most notable book of the 20th Century with his 1990 tale “The Remains of the Day.” He has written many other works in between, but his latest, “Klara and The Sun,” is a wonderfully woven story of just what love, living and the fear of death mean in our culture. Set in the not too distant future, the title character, Klara, is a B-2 model AF, or artificial friend. In a society where genetically modified children are “lifted” to higher achievement and better...

Blueberries will soon be in season, and blueberry pancakes and muffins are a favorite of many. Most prepared pancake mixes include optional directions for adding blueberries, as do most plain muffin recipes. My favorite recipe for blueberry pancakes is a variation of the Darigold Buttermilk Pancake recipe. With no added sugar in cakes, they are a perfect compliment to maple syrup or honey. Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/4 tsp baking soda 3/4 tsp...

HARRINGTON – Thursday afternoon, June 3, a few local citizens caught a preview of the graduation parade when a beautiful Belgian team in full harness pulled a four-seat surrey along the parade route, allowing the horses the opportunity to adapt to the sights and sounds in town and learning how they would manage crossing the railroad tracks. Driving the surrey was Riley Roller with his grandfather, Skip Simpson, behind him with instructions, and the two passengers were B...

Baked Sticky...
