A crowd filled the cafeteria of the Odessa schools March 8 for the special meeting called by the Harrington and Odessa School Boards for the purpose of discussing further the athletic cooperative between the two districts. The group was about evenly represented by people from Harrington and Odessa. Both communities have had open meetings in their respective towns this winter to discuss various aspects of the cooperative (see sidebar for the report by Mark Smith of the Davenport Times on the Harrington meeting).

The January 29 community forum on the future of Deutschesfest resulted in lots of feedback and ideas for improvement. The comments received were compiled last week by the author and Lise Ott. Next week, we hope to offer clarification of some of the suggestions and provide a basic framework for volunteering to take on some of these tasks. Biergarten Quality of bands has not improved – has really declined. Whiskey D & the 8 Balls cleared the Biergarten out last year. Raise the gate $5, $10, $15 – people will pay it (Le...
In spring when the smell of flowers fills the air, I love to watch and stare, as the hummingbirds fill the air. They dart, first here, then there, as they fly so fast through the air. Hummingbirds are almost as light as air, so they can fly high and fast without a care. Always in a hurry to get somewhere, as they almost seem to float on air, sucking up nectar rom everywhere. Pat Gamache 8/20/15...

Avocado Ice Cream? My first thought was “that is a horrible thing to do to an avocado”, but apparently this is all the rage in several east coast areas. One restaurant serves avocado ice cream on toast, and according to the news article, it sells out fast so people line up early to get this treat. Have any of you readers tried this interesting concoction? A search on Pinterest turned up several recipes with quite varied ingredients, and judging from these recipes, it appears i...

Round about town One day this past week Gene and Pam Dietrich were seen entering their building, formerly known as the Harrington Haus, which had been taken off the market while the John Dempsey family were cleaning, clearing, repairing and rebuilding the interior of the establishment.

The community is anxious to see what, if anything, will happen next to this historic...

ears to be in store for Odessa residents. Sore throats, colds and a bit of flu have kept many indoors for days at a time. Russian Tea is an old-fashioned and comforting citrus-infused beverage, “good for what ails you,” as the saying goes. Popular recipes from the 1960s relied on powdered orange and lemon mixes quite high in sugar content. Recently a member of a closed Facebook quilting group I belong to shared her grandmother’s recipe using fruit juices. The recipe has been...

Dear Dr. Universe: Why are whales so large? – Hannah, Grand Island, Neb. Dear Hannah, Of all the whales that live in the sea, the largest are blue whales.

He’s a researcher at Washington State University who is really curious about blue whales. Using math and science, he’s helping us learn more about blue whales and how they migrate along the Pacific C...
