It was a very satisfying week for the Titan boys varsity basketball team as they put up three wins in a row, defeating LaCrosse-Washtucna 46-43, Wilbur-Creston 63-52 and St. Michael’s 76-57. O-H vs. LaCrosse-Washtucna The Titan boys traveled to Washtucna Tuesday (January 10) to take on the Tigercats. By all accounts, it was a wild and wooly game with many turnovers and fouls. The Titans maintained their lead, despite a high-scoring final quarter by the Tigercats. O-H 8 18 14 6...
O-H vs. Columbia (Hunters) The team from Columbia High School in Hunters just couldn’t catch a break Tuesday, January 3 in Harrington. Even when they were left with a wide-open shot, the ball simply would not drop into the basket. O-H 24 20 19 13 -76 Columbia 7 5 2 9 -23 Meanwhile, the Odessa-Harrington boys showed some of the best passing they have exhibited to date, finding the open man who, more often than not, got the two- or three-pointer. Cade Weber led the Titans w...
O-H vs. Columbia (Hunters) The team from Columbia High School in Hunters came to Harrington last week Tuesday to hand the Titans a lopsided loss. Columbia 16 20 17 2 -55 Columbia 7 5 2 9 -23 Kendall Todd led the Titan scorers with 11. Jessie Whitaker had 3, and Rebekah Marshall, Chelsea Fisher and Jordyn Tanke all wound up with 2 points. Columbia’s Krista Colvin scored 23 points, nearly half of her team’s total points. Girls JV The girls junior varsity game was only two quarte...
Odessa had much to be thankful for in 2011. A couple of new businesses opened, and the biodiesel plant resumed production when a new management/investment team came on board. The grocery store underwent a change of ownership, with the new owners introducing many upgrades and repairs. A month-by-month summary of the year’s activities follows. January The new year opened on an optimistic note when the town’s newest business venture opened its doors Saturday, January 1, 201...
Meeting for the last time in 2011, the Odessa School Board met December 21 and unanimously approved resolutions to run a General Fund Maintenance and Operation Levy on February 14, 2012 for the same $698,000 as the retiring levy it will replace; and at the same time to run a Capital Projects Fund Levy of $110,00 which is also a replacement for the current levy. Due to an increase in property values within the district, the levy amounts have gone down from $4.03 to $3.98 per...
The boys varsity basketball team had no games last week prior to the start of their winter break on Wednesday, December 21. Only the girls varsity and the boys junior varsity played against Moses Lake Christian Academy December 20 in games meant to fill out their schedules and replace games not played due to the opponents not having a girls varsity or boys JV. League play for both boys and girls begins after the break on Tuesday, January 3, against Columbia High School of...
O-H vs. ML Christian Acad. On Tuesday, December 20, the Titan girls had a rematch with Moses Lake Christian Academy, MLCA 14 14 13 15 56 O-H 8 10 12 17 47 losing by a score of 56-47. The girls refused to give up, battling to reduce a 10-point deficit at the half. MLCA’s Walker was high scorer in the game with 25, nearly half of MLCA’s total points. Chelsea Fisher led the Titans with 10. Kendall Todd had 8, Jessie Whitaker, Charli Moffet and Hannah Schmidt each had 6 poi...
O-H vs. Soap Lake The boys varsity basketball team appears to have found a way to stay in the win column. After a delayed start to the season due to the football playoffs and a third-place finish for the football team, many of those same boys immediately started basketball practice. The first two games against larger 2B rivals did not go the Titans’ way, but since then, against 1B schools, O-H has found the winning touch. O-H 18 23 10 9 -60 Soap Lake 10 4 13 4 -31 Against S...
O-H vs. Soap Lake Last Saturday night, December 17, the non-league contest in Odessa between Odessa-Harrington and the Soap Lake Eagles gave the Titan girls their first win of the season. Soap Lake 0 6 12 10 -28 O-H 17 17 12 8 -54 Kendall Todd led the team scoring with 15, but nearly everyone else also scored, and every team member got to play. Jessie Whitaker had 9, Cydnee Kieffer 8, Charli Moffet 8, Chelsea Fisher 6, Rebekah Marshall 5, Katelyn Worley 4, Jordyn Tanke 2 and...
Mark King, certified physician’s assistant (PA-C) at the Odessa Clinic, has given notice that he has accepted a position in Ruidoso, New Mexico. In fact, he will be returning to the town he left when he moved his family to Odessa a few years ago after accepting a job offer at the Odessa Clinic. His wife, Kim King, told The Record that Mark had received an offer “out of the blue” from the doctor he had formerly worked with in Ruidoso. That doctor had been in the process of se...
O-H vs. Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Just like the first, the second basketball game of the season was also against a tough 2B school, Lind-Ritzville/Sprague. The Broncos overpowered the Titans for the win, but there was some good news from the coach despite the loss. O-H 11 12 19 16 -58 LRS 19 21 14 20 -74 Head coach Travis Schuh said, “OH had a big improvement from last game. We shot a lot better at 40% and 72% from the free-throw line. We were down by 17 at half, but only lost b...
O-H vs. Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Once again, the girls varsity had difficulty against a larger school. After staying close throughout the first half, the third quarter was rude awakening from the Broncos. LRS 13 6 18 6 43 O-H 8 2 7 11 28 Odessa’s Charli Moffet led the Titan scoring with 10, Jessie Whitaker added 8, Kendall Todd and Jordyn Tanke had 3 each and Chelsea Fisher and Cydnee Kieffer had 2 each. Rebekah Marshall, Hannah Schmidt, Carley Williams and Ashley Baarstad a...
The Titan girls varsity basketball team led by 10 at half-time, only to face what looked like a completely different team in the third quarter. Davenport 10 10 29 13 -62 O-H 12 18 6 6 -42 The Lady Gorillas from Davenport came storming back, pounding the Titans 29-6 in the third quarter alone to take the lead by a large margin. They never relinquished it. The O-H girls gave the ball away far too many times with bad passes and unnecessary fouls. They are a very young team,...
The game started off with a stroke of luck for the Titans, when a Davenport player grabbed and popped the basket rim during warmups. That is against the rules, and a technical foul was assessed against Davenport. O-H 4 4 8 16 -32 Davenport 10 17 16 14 -57 It was pretty much all Davenport’s game after that. What scoring there was by the Titan team was led by Markus Smith with 7, followed by Justin Hunt and Cade Weber with 6 each, Nick Tebow with 5, Jared King 4, and Brett L...
The Odessa-Harrington Titan football team took third place Saturday in the semi-final game against Neah Bay, a small town on the Olympia peninsula. The trophy was awarded right after the game. Receiving the sportsmanship award for the Titans was Brett Larmer, senior running back from Harrington. Neah Bay 36 22 16 -74 O-H 20 14 0 -34 The game ended in the third quarter when the point spread reached 40, dashing the Titans’ hopes for a trip to the championship game at the T...
The Odessa-Harrington Titan football team has joined the Titan girls volleyball team in qualifying for state tournament play. They defeated King’s Way Christian of Vancouver, Wash. in the first round of the State 1B playoffs held last Saturday in Centralia by a score of 76-36. In the other quarter-final game, Almira/Coulee-Hartline defeated Touchet, 52-8, in a game played Friday, November 18, in Moses Lake. Like the O-H game, this one went into the fourth quarter before the me...
For the past 70 years, the Odessa Lions Club has been treating the community to its annual Turkey Carnival. This year, club members added a little extra atmosphere with the presence of two live turkeys, one male and one female, in a pen near the bingo announcer’s table. The turkeys belong to the Joe McNeil family, which raises poultry on its farm near Odessa. They were only there for show, however, and went back home after the carnival. More than 150 frozen turkeys were won l...
Tekoa-Oakesdale won the State 1B volleyball tournament, defeating Colton 25-16, 25-13, 15-25, 25-23 in the championship match last Saturday night.

In the 1A bracket, Colville overcame Castle Rock with scores of 26-24, 25-22 and 25-21. With the floor divided up into six separate volleyball courts in two rows of three each, there wasn’t much room left over for f...

We were the beneficiaries last week of contractor Peter Cooper’s interest in masonry. He is the gentleman working on The Odessa Record/Any Occasion Banquet Hall building, scraping away old paint, repairing broken brick and adding the proper type of mortar to stabilize the building. On Tuesday evening of this week, he told us he worked until midnight reparing the arch above the main doors to The Record’s offices. He told us he had to finish the work all in the same day bec...
As a result of her first-place finishes at science fairs held earlier in the summer, Kira Powell was eligible to join 10 other high school students from all parts of the United States who attended the London International Youth Science Forum, which focussed this year on the Science of the Seas. It was held at the South Kensington campus of Imperial College in central London from July 27 to August 10. The group of American students arrived in London on July 28, accompanied by t...
Not all of the figures for Deutschesfest are in, but some information was available at Tuesday’s Chamber of Commerce meeting. Biergarten Chairman Ted Bruya and assistant chairman Justin Parr reported that the Biergarten gate receipts and kitchen sales were down somewhat from last year, meaning that fewer visitors likely came to Fest this year (something that most in Odessa had guessed based on their own observations). Due to an increase in prices instituted this year, h...
The Harrington Fall Festival took place last weekend, with a football game Friday afternoon, a folk-music concert that same evening (see Lise Ott’s article on the concert, page 4), a parade on Saturday morning and throughout the afternoon alumni reunions of former Harrington High graduates. Lunch in the park included deep-pit barbecued beef sandwiches (with sides of potato salad, baked beans and chips), burgers, hot dogs and soft drinks. Vendors were selling alumni shirts, pie...
The 41st Odessa Deutschesfest celebration is now behind us, and it’s time to regroup and think about what went right and what went wrong. Most vendors of food, crafts and souvenirs that we spoke to appeared to have done quite well. According to Nancy Kramer of the Friends of the Library, the used-book sale made more money than it did last year. Kelly Kissler Korpenin of JonathINN’s said that on Saturday she had to run out to the farm for some of the food that they had set asi...
Last Friday, we took a much-needed day off and drove to Leavenworth to see “The Sound of Music” being performed this summer on one of that fair town’s three theater venues. Prompting us to go see this particular production was the fact that it was the final performance for one of the two groups of child actors involved that included Kameron and Jared Goetz, the sons of Kevin and Jennifer Goetz of Coulee City. Their great-grandfather is Al Goetz of Odessa, currently a resid...
