With a hardy crew of volunteers, the kraut ranza committee of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Odessa last week assembled and baked more than 3,000 of the meat-, sauerkraut- and onion-filled pockets of yeast dough. Some eager citizens, who either smelled the good aromas coming from the community center or knew that Friday was baking day, stopped in to buy a few of the tasty rolls. Not to worry, however. There will be plenty left to sell during Fest. Other groups preparing food...

Laura Estes has been an avid quilter since the early 1980s. Because she couldn't always find what she wanted in applique quilt patterns, she began designing her own quilts. One thing lead to another and Laura's Sage Country Quilts became an official business in 1994. The company started with three designs and increased to nine by the fall of 1995 when Estes and her husband, Pat, attended their first International Quilt Market in Houston, Texas. With the addition of new...

For those unfamiliar with the term, kraut ranzas are a yeast-dough pocket filled with a mixture of sauerkraut, cabbage, hamburger and onion. Once baked, the aroma of the golden brown rolls wafts through the downtown a...
Barb Walter's Grannie BarBar baked goods business has graced these pages before, and since she was the first to respond, we are featuring her in this week's column. The day we stopped in to see Barb, she was baking apricot-filled rolls and cinamon rolls to sell to make money for the people displaced by the Carlton Complex fire. This fits in with the generosity we see from her. She brings cookies in to The Record pretty much any time she has some left over from an event. Barb...

What started out July 22 as a request to LCWLFPN by local dog trainer Kay Frazier asking if a bearded collie, featured on KREM TV as Spokanimal’s Pick of the Litter was still needing a home, has turned into so much more. What is meant to help one, oft times helps many. This has been evident so often for LCWLFPN in its first year as a pending non-profit, that it has been added to the motto. Events unfolded quickly last week in Davenport, once it was determined that Andy, a 10-month-old bearded collie featured last week as S...

If you chalked it up to the violent storm that passed over Odessa and then moved on to Colville, Spokane and further east, you would be right. Even though the storm moved quickly through Odessa, dumping enough rain to make the downtown streets flow with several inches of water, the damage it did through a combination of wind, lightning and water as it moved into...

With all the news about wildfires recently, it seems like a good time to review how to make a home emergency kit. The following information came from the website www.ready.gov/washington. A disaster supplies kit is simply a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency. Try to assemble your kit well in advance of an emergency. You may have to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you. You will probably not have time to search for the supplies you need or shop for them. You m...
