The Record has a new look beginning this week. We have changed over to a somewhat narrower format that will save us a little on our printing costs. We have maintained our six columns, but they are just a smidgen narrower than before. We will get the new advertising dimensions to our clients as soon as we have worked everything out. The question posed by one of our readers last week regarding the clearing of snow from SR 28 brought forth an explanation from another town resident who said an equipment failure had put a snow...
In 2006, Congress required the Postal Service to fully pre-fund 75 years of retiree health care benefits in 10 years. No one else has this burden; I know of no private businesses that do this. Unsurprisingly, the Post Office has difficulty finding the required $5.5 billion a year. One way to help the Post Office is to allow it to offer banking services the way it did until 1967. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders proposes “postal banking” to help the finances of the USPS and to help about 68 million low-income people fin...
Are you aware that America is involved with a Visa Waiver Program that allows as many as 20 million citizens from 38 countries to travel to the U.S. and stay for as many as 90 days? Therefore, people from friendly countries in Europe and Asia can visit without adequate screening by a U.S. consulate. It also allows Americans to travel abroad with minimum screening. With the world situation like it is, should this policy still be in affect? Business and tourist dollars are the reasons this program is still allowed to operate. S...
What are fingernails made of? Asked by Amy, 8, of Seattle. Dear Amy, My claws can come in quite handy when I need to scratch my ears or climb trees. I bet you’ve found that your own fingernails can be useful tools, too. Perhaps you’ve used them to pick up a penny or peel an orange. It turns out that while my claws and your fingernails look a little different, they are actually made out of the same thing: keratin. That’s what I discovered when I went to visit my friend Professor Lisa Carloye, who teaches biology here at Washi...
January January of 2015 began with community members being asked to meet with professional survey takers representing the Odessa health care facilities. Informal meetings were held with different groups of citizens each time to discuss health care needs and ways to meet those needs. The Odessa Chamber of Commerce held its New Year’s Eve celebration in the community center. Awards voted by members of the community at large went to Lise Ott’s quilt store ‘Experience Quilts!’ for Business of the Year, to Abby Reyes for First R...
Since at least 1879, with Adam Ludy and other Harrington pioneers, three simple words, Happy New Year, have echoed through the locale. Some winters, the greeting was delayed when heavy winter snows prevented people from circulating. In 1889, a Harrington news item bemoaned the new year with “Christmas is now over and the New Year is here with its many adversities and prosperities.” Once the town of Harrington was established, well before its incorporation in 1902, people would meet and greet on the earthen streets or boa...
Washington State University Extension and the WSU Oilseed Cropping Systems (WOCS) project are hosting workshops about canola and other oilseed production, marketing and end-use at three locations in late January: Colfax, Odessa and Dayton.

Depending on the workshop location, crops covered will include winter and spring canola, winter and spring rapeseed, mustard and flax, and how those oilseeds will fit...
