Harrington On February 5, the Tiger girls defeated Harrington in a playoff game played at home in Odessa. The Harrington Panthers, having returned to their original red and black colors, were supported by a large group of fans also mostly in red and black and cheering for their team with great enthusiasm. The game got off to a wild start with both teams playing very ragged ball, racing down the court and taking poor shots in the frenzied opening minutes. The score rose slowly...
To the Editor: Nate here. I have never felt so optimistic as today for the Town of Odessa that I love. We just stepped up to local and regional deliveries.

We are expanding, and the Car Show this year is looking great! The races are coming! Odessa is doing great. You can, too! I know this because of all the new people and families moving into town. The school class numbers are even...

A half-dozen or so of the Inchelium players became academically ineligible after second quarter grades were released. The game was handed off to the next team in line, Northport. The Tiger boys handily defeated Northport, coming on hard and fast from the tipoff and never giving the opposition a breather. Even when the second string Tigers came in to...
On January 20, I finally saw LuLu for the first time since that cold morning of December 28, when the first thing I did was check to make sure she had survived the night. That Saturday morning I went with Tammy to the Carlson farm. When she parked her truck I looked up and saw Karen walking out with LuLu in her arms. I can only imagine how I must have sounded because I imagine my scream probably sounded a lot like a teenage girl meeting Justin Bieber. I think it was something...

An advisory put out by the Grant County Sheriff’s Office has reported that the IRS phone scam is popping up again locally. It (and other similar scams) will likely continue to plague citizens. More often than not, there isn’t much law enforcement can do because the scams often originate overseas or are extremely difficult to trace. The IRS scam is simply that someone calls saying they’re from the IRS, that back taxes are owed and if you don’t pay up now, the cops are coming to your house to arrest you. It’s a scam, and it’s...
