The two chapters also took in...

Spring just may be here. Odessa saw pretty nice weather for the annual Easter Egg Hunt put on by the Odessa Lions Club. Families who enjoy dying hard-boiled eggs and hiding for the young folks to find, were able to put out eggs without rain washing off the color. By the time you read this article most of those eggs will be eaten, but if you still have a supply on hand, Curried Deviled Eggs are a savory way to serve hard boiled eggs. Curried Deviled Eggs 12 hard cooked eggs 3...

This installment is one of the stories about Dr. L.F. Wagner. The family of Mark Wetjen donated two leases, a business certificate, and a winter jacket once owned by Dr. L.F. Wagner, an early day physician in Harrington, to the Harrington museum. LaFayette F. 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,...
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...
By KIMBERLY NELSON “Either you run the day, or the day runs you.” –Jim Rohn Most of us have been in front of the podium of a cheesy motivational speaker at some point. Some of them have the uncanny ability to lift our spirits, make us laugh, and push us to think about something a little bit differently. But mostly, the reaction gained is closer to that of a stern lecture than a pick-me-up. Unless you have incredible command of an audience and amazing public speaking skills, the best way to motivate is not through the masse...
The weather market has begun in earnest. Over the last month the futures have had quite a few twenty cent trading sessions. Some has been due to the continuing confrontation between Russia and the Ukraine, but most of it has been due to weather forecasts and the USDA Crop Progress Reports which have started to come out every Monday afternoon. The latest Crop Progress Report showed the overall U.S. winter wheat crop rated at 34% good to excellent and 33% poor to very poor, about the same as last week and about the same as a ye...
The Society was organized in 2013 by a group of concerned citizens who want to see Odessa’s Old Town Hall have a future in our community, while honoring our community’s past. In our first year, with the town’s manpower, we tackled some immediate needs of the building, like plumbing issues and a leaky roof. We started a financial nest egg for improvements with the first annual rummage sale. Safety for those using the building currently is of utmost importance, so our first major improvement goal is to restore the front and sid...
By DR. E. KIRSTEN PETERS While I have been dinking around for months, trying to lose five pounds, two of my friends have gotten serious about weight loss. Each of them is down 50 pounds. I'm pleased for them, of course, and truly impressed by their accomplishments. Successfully combatting overweight and obesity is one of the best things people can do for their health. It can help everything from joint pain to heart function, from Type 2 diabetes to certain aspects of mental...
$6,000. That’s over and above payments to big companies for energy and food and housing and health care and all our tech devices. It’s $6,000 no family would have to pay if we truly lived in a competitive but well-regulated, free-market economy. The $6,000 figure is an average, which means that low-income families are paying less. But it also means that families (households) making over $72,000 are paying more than $6,000 to the corporations. 1. $870 for direct subsidies and grants to companies The Cato Institute est...
