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...

This installment is one of the stories about Dr. L.F. Wagner. The family of Mark Wetjen donated two leases, a business certificate, and a winter jacket once owned by Dr. L.F. 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 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...

At the Chamber’s regular meeting on March 25, Marlon Schafer asked whether the trailer might b...
