Another report (with facts) will be coming about the annual Odessa Healthcare Foundation Wine Tasting and Auction. The wine-tasting, the main event of Odessa's social calendar I've been told, was held in the Community Center. As a first-time attendee, I didn't have much idea what to expect walking in the door. It was obvious from the beginning that the volunteer force was a well-oiled machine and the generosity of the comminity was very impressive. The wine did not start...

June 2013 saw a larger than average number of lost or abandoned dogs in some areas within Lincoln County. While our numbers are still comparatively lower than surrounding counties, the need for a protocol became apparent. Through volunteer efforts, Lincoln County Lost & Found Pet Network was formed as a communications network, utilizing a Facebook account as a central clearinghouse in which to post lost or found animals, in hopes of reuniting owners with their lost pets. This is not a rescue facility, only volunteers willing...

The trapshoot held in Odessa Saturday as part of the Spring Fling activities was an Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA)sanctioned event. Nine teams were drawn to town on a day when rain threatened but never developed and wind was a constant bother.

The Odessa High School FFA chapter sold...

Normalcy on Friday, April 25th, was replaced with an aire of activity, stirrings, comments about the untimely spring showers and chilling winds, and people briefly stopping to greet one another as they hurried in their last minute preparations for the Spring Festival. Poking one's head into the Studebaker Garage, buckets of water and rags were busily removing the dust from the last of the beautiful display automobiles for the Third Annual Classic Auto Show in Harrington. Altho...

Fifth Congressional District Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers announced April 21 that she is seeking re-election to her sixth term in the U.S. Congress. “Eastern Washington is very special. It’s the values I learned here and experience that I have here that guides me in Congress,” said McMorris Rodgers. “My goal is to empower individuals and families with the freedom to make choices, not a government that decides for you. It should be – as Abraham Lincoln said – a government of the people, by the people, and for the peo...

Wagner, 28, married Ida A. Sierman on August 21, 1907 at Hope, Bonner County, Idaho. Since Dr. L.F. Wagner, formerly of St John, Washington, had purchased a half interest in the business of Dr. J.M. Gunning, the Wagners moved to Harrington following their marriage, where they...
On a picture-perfect Sunday afternoon, several groups of Odessa residents hiked the newly defined and marked Odessa Craters Trail north of town. The high school chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) had spent time working with Chris Shafer of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to remove encroaching sage brush and larger rocks from the existing trail, which is on BLM land. In some places, the students had placed stones aligned along the side of the trail to...
The Odessa Town Council met Monday evening to hear pressing news from the Public Works Department on the town's fleet of vehicles. PW employee Gerald Greenwalt and director Rod Webster said the town garbage truck now being used to haul yard waste collected in the yellow dumpsters in town had broken down and was thought to be hardly worth repairing. The truck was of 1988 vintage and was purchased used. It currently has a broken axle, leaking cylinders and faulty brakes that...
Northwest agricultural markets are mostly stable to improving this spring. Wheat markets rallied late in the first quarter of 2014, driven in part by the volatile geopolitical situation in Ukraine. Northwest dairy producers are benefitting from near-record milk prices and lower feed costs than in the past three years. However, hay prices are increasing ahead of first cutting in the Northwest. Drought in California is expected to reduce hay yields and forage production in the state, resulting in increased demand for Northwest...
