At Monday night’s meeting of the Odessa Town Council, the rewritten draft ordinance defining a “fence” was seen by council member Frank White as too restrictive and likely to cause more problems for the council than it solved. He asked that the issue be tabled again for further discussion, and the other council members concurred. A variance was granted for the revised request for a backyard fence on Amende Drive to provide running room for the owner’s dog. A permit for a reroof and new fence on east Third Avenue was also ap...

Odessa's business climate is taking some baby steps forward, especially with the imminent opening of the new meat processing facility at the industrial park and the grand plans of the new owners of the golf course. The biodiesel plant is still a big question mark. Rumors always seem to circulate whenever something new happens. One rumor we would like to definitively dispel concerns Chiefs Bar & Grill. According to owners Mike and Sherri Frederick, they have NO plans to close the restaurant. We are not sure how this rumor got...

She now has a B.A. in Business Administration with dual majors in Management and Biblical Stu...
Odessa seems to be overrun with skunks this year. Monday of this week I saw three skunks, all in different areas of town. To my way of thinking, that is three skunks too many. Eradicating skunks is probably not a kitchen subject, but de-skunking dogs, other animals and items, could be. Ingredients for a good de-skunking solution are mostly found in the kitchen. Leanna Schafer’s dogs had an unpleasant meeting with a skunk several years ago. She found this recipe on A...

Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday. Mom might like a batch of Steel-cut Oatmeal Granola Bars for quick snacks or lunch time fare. Several weeks ago, they were a number of granola recipes in a Spokesman Review article. Most contained expensive ingredients not readily available locally, but several called for steel-cut oats. What I did learn from the article is that toasting the steel-cut oats before adding them to any recipe allows them to take on flavors and absorb liquid b...

We have some positive changes to applaud as the nation observes National Foster Care Month in May, says former foster child Margaret Iuculano. “In Ohio, $3 million from a mortgage settlement the state won will help foster kids pursue higher education and expand court-appointed advocates. And in Florida, a new law is going to make it much easier for foster kids to do normal things like sleepovers with their friends and school field trips,” she says. “In Nebraska, they’re close to boosting the pay for foster parents, which w...
JoAnn Hardt retired from the Marlin office of Central Washington Grain Growers after 17 years. She was essential to the running of the warehouse and maybe the town of Marlin, too. She officially worked as a bookkeeper and office manager, and unofficially as a historian, tour guide and information agent. Hardt said she ran the scales during harvest and sold the wheat and wrote checks to the farmers. During the last couple of years, CWGG was putting in a new computer system,...

Shari Wilson was spotted at the Quilt 'Til You Wilt Event at Heritage Church on Monday, March 18. She said she was working on a seventy-year old UFO (unfinished object).

Wilson's mother lived in Colorado during the Dust Bowl years and when pressing the applique pieces, Sheri said she could smell the dust still in the fabric. She said her mother quit...
First on the menu this week is a correction. I omitted part of a sentence in the cooking instructions for Roasted Brussels Sprouts. The third paragraph of instructions for the recipe should read as follows: Place in oven and bake 15 minutes, turn sprouts with spatula and bake 15 minutes more. Sprouts should be browned and very dark on the edges. I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused. Start your day with Amish Baked Oatmeal, a recipe submitted by K...
