State Fire Marshal Chuck Duffy has announced that in 2013 there were 102 fires caused by fireworks. Wildland and vegetation fires accounted for 66, or 65% of all fireworks-caused fires, resulting in $12,130 dollars in loss and damages. Summer weather conditions can make vegetation extremely dry and susceptible to fire. While discharging fireworks, a small fire can start and easily get out of control if the fuels (grass and other vegetation) are present. If a firework comes into contact with an area of vegetation, use a hose...

Thursday afternoon, a grandson of Robert Gay rode into town on a shiny motorcycle looking for a quick piece of information on his grandfather. I tell you, this man was in such a hurry, he never left his name. "My mother lived in the old Harry Ochs house on Sherlock Street and my mother wants a picture of the house." With no forewarning that this request was coming, Marge Womach pulled out the Thanksgiving edition of the 1905 Harrington Citizen, photocopied the picture of the...

Judging from the levels of laughter and general conversation, this year's banquet put on by the Odessa Alumni Association Saturday evening was an unqualified success. The six honored classes were well represented, with the classes of 1964 (50-year class) and 1974 (40-year class) with approximately 20 members each. The honored classes met separately during the afternoon at various venues to meet and greet and get reaquainted with some folks they had not seen in a very long...

Over the past nine years the Odessa Friends of the Pool have been working hard to support the Odessa Aquatic Recreation Center. The FOP was founded in 2005 by concerned moms who were willing to work with the town to keep the pools open through a budget crunch. The initial support of the community was so awesome that the FOP applied for and received their 501-c3 charitable organization status and decided to really go to work. Between 2005 and 2011 the FOP donated over $45,000...

Thanks to the generosity of the Odessa Historical Society and many local individuals, the rummage sales held at Old Town Hall during the last two Spring Fling events, as well as some cash donations, have resulted in a bank balance of just over $3,000, which is enough to kick off plans for an exterior facelift. Phase I of the project consists of repairs to the front steps, which have deteriorated to the point of being a safety hazard. The Old Town Hall Rejuvenation Society (OTHRS) has received permission from the Odessa Town...
Good morning! Thank you for attending the graduation ceremony for the class of 2014. We are the first class to spend all four years as a Titan and we are glad you are here. Today is the start of a new beginning, a milestone or as Carley would say "a limestone" for all of us. It is also the end for many moments like class fights, winging speeches and trying to distract our teachers so we could get out of an assignment. Our class motto is "due tomorrow, do tomorrow," just...
Good morning, and welcome to the graduation ceremony of the class of 2014. It is incredible to think that today, 12 long years have passed, and we have finally reached the day we dreamed about as children. Today is a day of mixed emotions that can only be explained one way: the end of a favorite book, movie, or television series. That may sound silly, but a majority of us have been there, turning the last page of a book, feeling the pit in your stomach grow. For me, the worst...
