REARDAN – When the R Store closed its doors on Sept. 15, the local food pantry was displaced from its space inside the building. On Oct. 4, a cadre of We C.A.R.E. (We Care About Reardan Edwall) volunteers moved the food pantry to a temporary location inside a local resident's shop at 310 S Lake Street. We C.A.R.E. coordinator Virginia Henderson said the pantry offers perishable food, including farm eggs, frozen chicken and ground beef, and also personal items. The pantry is o...

Odessa had two special visitors this week - Madison Wade, reporter for King 5's Unsolved Northwest, and Joseph Huerta, an Emmy Award-winning photojournalist who somehow managed to make our small-town office look cinematic. Now, I went to school to be behind the camera, not in front of one. But apparently, the universe decided it was time for me to face my greatest fear - being on television. I always figured if I were on TV, it would be for something like winning a Jet Ski...
DAVENPORT - The Davenport Road Knights Car Club was inducted into the Washington State Hot Rod Hall of Fame during a ceremony that recognized car clubs for their years of service.

The foundation was a recipient of funds raised at the event. Live auctions and raffles were held, and the annual...
REARDAN - Laughter, cheers and a little healthy competition filled the gym on Wednesday, Oct. 1, as students and teachers squared off during a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) assembly class challenge. The teachers' team pulled ahead of fifth- and sixth-grade classes, showing that school spirit knows no age. The middle school and high school band, along with the cheerleaders, helped lead the crowd with music and energy. The assembly also recognized...
Ahhh, October — the month when the air smells faintly of cinnamon and chaos, and the world collectively agrees that it’s finally time to start pretending our front porches are haunted. It’s my favorite month of the year and the glorious start of a new season — arguably the best season (sorry, summer). Halloween has always had my heart. Maybe it’s the spooky atmosphere, maybe it’s my lifelong love of horror movies — the classics, the campy ones, the meta ones like Scream — or maybe it’s just my inner child thriving on excus...
Frost is on the pumpkins and tomatoes throughout the Inland Northwest. Garden cleanup time is in full swing. End of season tomatoes can be turned into fresh salsa or traditional Pico de Gallo. Late ripening tomatoes tend to be dryer so the salsa is thicker. Ingredients in both versions of salsa are similar. Generally Pico de Gallo does not include sweet bell pepper, whereas fresh Salsa often includes some bell pepper. Best Fresh Tomato Salsa 3 cups finely chopped tomatoes 1 cup finely diced onion 1/2 cup finely chopped green...

1 Years Ago The young son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Heid of Larene suffered a fractured collar bone after the horse he was riding fell on him while on the way home from school. H. H. McMillian of Davenport started the drive for funds for Whitworth College in Spokane with a $30,000 donation. Mr. McMillian has long been a strong supporter of Whitworth College and one of the buildings on campus is named after him. Jake Bastrom, janitor at Odessa school, has been the busiest man in town since the scarlet fever quarantine has been...
Harrington Fall Fest brought the usual: food, friends, laughter, and enough pumpkin spice to put a scarecrow into a sugar coma. But this year also brought something new-your local newspaper mascot and part-time diva, Winnie the weiner dog, scored her first athletic medal. Bronze, baby. The 5K Fun Run kicked off at 9 a.m., and while I was still shaking off Deutschesfest laryngitis, Winnie was in prime form. The crowd was packed, and while I was just another runner pinning on a...

Mills and is now on display at the Mills-Keller Motor company. 75 Years Ago The biggest sale of the year, possibly of all time, was recently held at...

There are certain weekends in small towns where it feels like the whole world gathers in one place. For Odessa, that weekend is Deutschesfest. And let me tell you, I came away with a full heart, a full stomach, and absolutely no voice. The first thing that struck me wasn't the food (though trust me, we'll get to that). It was the sheer joy of it all-the laughter spilling across Main Street, the families bundled together on hay bales, the sound of polka drifting out of the...

Autumn has begun. Pumpkins are ripening, and showing up at markets. Pumpkin pie, muffins, cookies and bread recipes are on area cooks minds. You can buy canned prepared pumpkin, but the fresh flavor of a sugar pie pumpkin is exceptional. Though pie pumpkins are best for texture and flavor, any pumpkin or winter squash may be used to make the solid puree required for most recipes. Preparation takes a little time but is quite easy to do, and there are many methods, from boiling to baking. The following method is my favorite...
