At that time, the board nevertheless went into executive session to reach some tenta...
After much debate and a thorough search of the town’s records, the council voted to uphold prior legislation and refuse to allow animal husbandry to take place at the school shop.

As far as the school’s ag program is concerned, however, it appeared that the newly acquired lot (the Viola Els property) would provide access to land that is already zo...

As a young adult he heeded the call, “Go West, young man.” After spending a couple of years in Arizona, the relentless heat drove him northward. Because he had an older brother stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base, he ended up in eastern Washington. His father had also come west by that time and had somehow or other discovered the small town of Odessa. He boug...

The 47th Odessa Deutschesfest appears to have drawn a good crowd.
