Hi, here I am again. Continued from last week – the Kiesz Children….. Virgil remembers the following about living in the L-B-D: (10.) His dad had 14 horses; needed 12 of them when pulling heavy loads, deep plowing. His dad’s first tractor was a track-crawler type diesel. His dad’s first car, a used “rag top” Ford.

(11.) His d...
Hi, here I am again. Continued from last time: The Kiesz Children. Farm life for Gordon and Virgil was hard. The Kiesz family usually did everything by themselves. Never used extra help except during harvest when one person was usually needed to help out. Of course there were years when the crop consisted of one - two bushels per acre, when extra help was not needed. It was the early 1930's, the depression was still on. Virgil and Gordon milked cows and cared for them, cleaned the barn, collected the manure inside, outside...
Alder St. Fitness & Tanning is the latest Odessa business to cease operations. Patrons arrived early one morning for their daily workout to find a sign on the door advising them that the business was closed. A phone number was left for them to call to collect any personal items they may have left in the facility. One of those patrons was Tom Clavel, who told The Record about it. He said he hoped some other organization or individual would take it over and not allow the assets to be sold piecemeal....
Sharpen your sweet tooth for an entire column of desserts. My advise is to use this weeks column in moderation. Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars were served at a recent women's gathering. Lecia Fink found this recipe on Pinterest. The recipe suggests using a food processor, but a blender and a mixer will get the job done just as well. Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars Base: 1/2 stick unsalted butter (1/4 cup), plus extra to grease pan 2 Tbsp granulated sugar 3/8 tsp ground...

Due to the high cost of fresh crab this spring, the Odessa Lions Club offered a “Surf and Turf” dinner featuring steak and lobster instead. The dinner was held March 10, and drew over 200 diners. Crews were kept busy in the Heimbigner addition to the Community Center as well as outside the main kitchen, cooking both entree choices on grills. The Lions serve the community in many ways, and the annual dinner is one of the more entertaining. They also host the Turkey Car...

A new display is coming soon to the Odessa Historisches Museum, if enough contributors can be found: Odessa High School class rings. Over the years, each member of the graduating class has had the option of purchasing a class ring bearing the year of graduation. Though not as popular as it once was, the buying of class rings is still an option today. Paul Scheller of the Odessa Historical Society thought those rings and the changing styles through the years would make a nice display for the summer months when the museum is...

Odessa Record subscriber Larry Fisher of Spokane continues his series of articles on the history of the Batum/Lauer area (where his wife, the former Joyce Kiesz, grew up). Hi, here I am again. The next articles presented about relatives from the L-B-D are because if I don’t, I will be asked to leave my Spokane home permanently. I will find all my possessions out in the street. Clothes cut in pieces, computer destroyed, truck tires slashed, money source gone. I guess, I would be “homeless,” “penniless.” Therefore the next...
Soup is always in season, making it the ideal menu staple for times when we seem to have all four seasons in any given day. Soup can be as easy as opening a can and heating the contents, or involve lots of chopping, sautéing, deglazing, boning and mincing. Dan Wilcox, The Odessa Record website guru, submitted a recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup that falls in the less labor intensive category. Usually I rewrite recipes into the standard formula for recipe presentation, but Dan...
A Mystical Late Winter Sky A chinook from the south, brings warmth to the breeze Naked limbs whip gently, on thin skeletal trees Like a dagger of crystal, a jagged icicle thaws As Mother Nature obeys, her own unwritten laws The earth has lain dormant, for a season or so Now hear the faint trickle---of cold melting snow Like veins in a leaf, miniature rivers are formed Carving canyons minute, in wheat fields, sun warmed Soon the dry gulch runs swollen, with turbulent waters of mud I examine the wild bush---and see it’s s...

Hi, here I am again. Continued from last week “The Schibels.” On 09 April 1919, Henry Schibel married Katherine “Katie” Frick. Katie was age 19, Henry age 22.

Presidents’ Day is February 20th, and though that day commemorates all United States Presidents, we still see the occasional reference to our first president, George Washington and his chopping down of the cherry tree. For many decades, cherry pie was pre-requisite when celebrating his birthday. Cherry Raspberry Pie was featured in the July 2011 issue of Family Circle Magazine. The sweet-tart filling pairs nicely with a half butter, half shortening pastry, and though a bit s...
