Last week’s article about the Christ Lutheran Church charity bake sale and car wash mistakenly said the baked items were donated by Grannie BarBar, but actually donations were made by many people. The Record regrets the error....

Summer league with the Moses Lake SunDevils wrapped up for Odessa High School sophomores, Brad Johnston and Chance Messer on July 17. The duo played a pick-up tournament with a team from the Puget Sound area the weekend of July 25, as they prepared to take their game international by traveling with the Northwest Elite baseball organization. Brad first became involved with Northwest Elite in 2012 when he participated in a camp held in Wenatchee. "Rhett Parker, an associate...
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...
Bright and early Friday morning (8 a.m.), members of the St. Joseph Catholic Church parish and their friends and relatives will gather at the commercial kitchen in the community center to assemble and bake the hundreds of kraut ranzas to be sold from a chalet on the Festplatz during this year’s Deutsches Fest. 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...

In November, 2001, following a two year period of interim ministering by Terry Van Blaricum, Pastor Bill Bull and his wife came to Harrington as the resident minister. Rev. Bull was born in 1944 and met his wife Bonnie in Princeton, Idaho. They have been married more than 40 years. They were the parents of three adult children by the time they moved here, Julia, Jeffrey and Janice. Pastor Bull's early career was in the lumber industry in Northern Idaho as a U.S. Forest...
The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Risk Management Agency reminds producers affected by recent fires and weather-related crop damage in the Pacific Northwest of important procedures for claiming losses under the Federal crop insurance program. All producers should refer to their crop insurance policies for complete details on providing notice of damage or loss. In general, producers must give notice within 72 hours of the initial discovery of damage or loss of production of a planted crop, and not later t...
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...
For any of our readers who might still be wondering why the much-hyped Avista power outage that was scheduled to occur last Wednesday evening never materialized. 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...
The Odessa School Board held a budget workshop prior to the regular monthly meeting on July 23. The regular meeting opened with a budget hearing which produced no public comment. Under old business, the board approved Ken Schutz’s resignation as K-12 principal, three additional days for the superintendent for 2013-2014 and hired Jamie Nelson as the new P-12 principal for Odessa Schools, the salary schedule for the union-exempt employees. The board also hired Tim Hauge as the new bus driver, Jeff Nelson as the high-school a...
In August, Linda J. Powell, MD will have completed 22 years at the Odessa Clinic. This is something OMHC would like to proudly acknowledge. Imagine. That means over 140,000 hours of call (not over 15 minutes from town) and more than 30,000 visits in the clinic over the past 22 years! This means treating family and friends as well, and going the extra mile to help oversee the healthcare here in Odessa. She attended medical school at the State University of New York (SUNY) in...
The Fitness Place opened its doors to the public Saturday for its grand opening under new owners. With equipment set up both upstairs and downstairs, there were plenty of opportunities for trying out some of the machines under the supervision of the staff. Owners Lyndsay Reyes, Abby Reyes and Angela Tanis were on hand to greet visitors and answer questions about the business. Like its predecessor, Alder Street Tanning & Fitness, the new business offers a fully automated facili...
Harrington Public Library in conjunction with Washington State University's extension office opened its Summer Reading Program, Fizz-Boom-Read, Thursday, July 10 from 3 to 5, led by Bridget Rohner and Stacey DeWald. Initially 18 youngsters entered and tried to contain themselves with the excitement of the first day. They settled in as each began to color with crayons the planets and solar system followed by posting them on the door to their Reading Room. James Smith read them...
With extremely hot temperatures in the preceding days, the Odessa area should probably be considered lucky to have had only one fire which was contained after about five hours. With all the news about the Carlton Complex fire in the north Cascades and the Buzzard Complex in eastern Oregon, apparently both started by lightning in many places and now being treated as fire complexes, people are a bit on edge and are following the news closely. The weather has been hot and windy,...
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...
Washington Federal Bank knows that everyone is aware of the wildfires burning in the Central Washington area; we wanted to provide everyone an update on what we are doing to support these communities in their time of need and ask for your support. We have set up a disaster relief fund in which we can collect donations from people. If you wish to donate, you can take your donation to your nearest Washington Federal branch, and mention the Red Cross Western Wildfires Victims Relief Fund. This money will be transferred to the...

BBB has received nearly 10 calls in the past week regarding IRS phone scams circulating in the Spokane and eastern Washington areas. Even though tax season ended months ago, scammers still claim victims owe money to the government and must pay up immediately or will suffer serious consequences. A Spokane area resident reported being called repeatedly by a phony FBI representative, claiming that she didn’t fill out forms correctly. They told her if she didn’t give them $3,200 within an hour, she would be put in jail or her...
A city in Washington is interfering in a hotly contested congressional election by removing the signs of at least one candidate, while leaving opponents signs standing on the same public property. Moses Lake appears to be targeting candidates who do not agree to sign a contract giving them permission to place signs on public property. The chief target of this seems to be Gavin Seim, a vocal liberty Republican from central Washington. “It does not matter what party you run under. Our rights must be upheld,” says Seim, a can...
Editor’s note: The political campaign season is upon us, as ballots for the August primary election have gone out via the U.S. mail to registered voters in the Odessa area and elsewhere in the state. Although The Record is not aware of any complaints about campaign tactics in the Odessa area, other areas have not fared so well. Two different individuals sent information to The Record regarding their perception of unfair treatment at the hands of a municipality in once instance and of one of the campaigner’s opponents in the...

At the plant it...
