January and the new year often bring the urge to spring clean. Finding places for new Christmas gifts spurs the need to purge unused items or bring them out to replace the old and tattered. A close look at kitchen pantry items may also have you discovering a number of specialty items that didn’t get used over the holidays. One option is to donate those items to your local food bank. On the other hand, food dollars were spent on these items and there are many non-holiday recipe...
Now that we know a new year doesn’t exactly mean a clean slate, it’s time to get down to business. Most of you already know that rejuvenation of Old Town Hall is one of my favorite obsessions. The Old Town Hall Rejuvenation Society has managed to make quite a bit of progress in the past few years, with some amazing assistance from the Odessa Chapter of FBLA. The front steps have been repaired, the dining room has been painted, the kitchen got a facelift, there is a new weather resistant coating on the roof, and the windows ha...

Jess Walter is a bestselling author from Spokane, and his latest book, The Cold Millions, will further demonstrate his prowess as a weaver of beautiful plot and captivating characters. The books title refers to all those folks who live just beyond the edges of polite and high society; the drifters, the riders of the rail and folks looking to move on from a previous life. The title also plays on the dramatic difference in wealth among those who happen to come into control of resources and the chilling effect those riches take...
At the moment, I’m looking at a blank page, wondering what I was thinking when I volunteered to do this. After all, there’s a pandemic going on (whether you want to admit it or not) and there are enough restrictions on gatherings to make it problematic to schedule any. The first thing I must do is apologize to everyone who missed the Christmas tree lighting at Old Town Hall. It was completely my fault that the event was not publicized adequately. I will own that and promise to...
Soon, many area kitchens will be bustling with week-before-Christmas preparations. Company may be coming, kids home from college and you need something for the breakfast crowd. Ground Beef Strata, a recipe I developed, is a breakfast-type casserole that can be made ahead to be ready for baking in the morning. With an hour and a half baking time, set it to bake before present-opening time if a brunch following is in your plans. Ground Beef Strata 1-1 1/2 pounds lean ground...

HARRINGTON – The city apparently has a group of silent elves that eavesdrop on all the community meetings and disperse needed items to members of various organizations who continue to adorn the city with lights, garlands, a manger scene, Santa and other seasonal ornamentation. Scurrying about at the north entrance to Harrington, elves brought about changes in the triangle and, from there to the heart of the city, greater lighting than had appeared in previous years. The Lions Club has its listings of donors with Christmas w...
