In August, Linda J. Powell, MD will have completed 22 years at the Odessa Clinic. This is something OMHC would like to proudly acknowledge. Imagine. That means over 140,000 hours of call (not over 15 minutes from town) and more than 30,000 visits in the clinic over the past 22 years! This means treating family and friends as well, and going the extra mile to help oversee the healthcare here in Odessa. She attended medical school at the State University of New York (SUNY) in...
The Fitness Place opened its doors to the public Saturday for its grand opening under new owners. With equipment set up both upstairs and downstairs, there were plenty of opportunities for trying out some of the machines under the supervision of the staff. Owners Lyndsay Reyes, Abby Reyes and Angela Tanis were on hand to greet visitors and answer questions about the business. Like its predecessor, Alder Street Tanning & Fitness, the new business offers a fully automated facili...

With extremely hot temperatures in the preceding days, the Odessa area should probably be considered lucky to have had only one fire which was contained after about five hours. With all the news about the Carlton Complex fire in the north Cascades and the Buzzard Complex in eastern Oregon, apparently both started by lightning in many places and now being treated as fire complexes, people are a bit on edge and are following the news closely. The weather has been hot and windy,...

My day starts with coffee. I'm too cheap to buy it by the cup from baristas, so I just brew my own Folgers by the pot. I have a cup or two as I settle into work each morning, and another cup - sometimes two - in the early afternoon. That may not be wise for a chronic insomniac like myself, but it's a lifelong habit that at this point would be quite tough to break. I'm in good company as a coffee-drinker. Coffee is one of the most popular beverages on the planet. That means tha...
With all the news about wildfires recently, it seems like a good time to review how to make a home emergency kit. The following information came from the website www.ready.gov/washington. A disaster supplies kit is simply a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency. Try to assemble your kit well in advance of an emergency. You may have to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you. You will probably not have time to search for the supplies you need or shop for them. You m...
If so, we would like to hear from you. The Record is planning to run a series featuring businesses which are home-based. We are aware of quite a few business run from homes in the area and would like information about who you are, how you got started, what the business is, how you find customers and any other details you want to share. We would also like to have a picture or two. If we get responses to this request, we will run a column in the coming weeks....
1 years ago From the Odessa Record July 23, 1914 “A family on every quarter section was the spirit of a meeting here this week. A speaker told of the immigration plan of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, to list land for sale and find settlers for this land. Sales people will be sent east to contact farmers who would come west. Over 60 farmers have listed land, headed by David Jasman with nine quarters, Fred Low, six, Wilhelm Isaak, Kelly Bros. and R.M. Kelly, four each. “The first grain of the 1914 season was received Tue...

To the Editor: I was reading back over some older Odessa Record papers and reread the article by Lise Ott, Afternoon at the Odessa Museum, dated July 3, 2014. It’s sad that no one stopped by that day to visit this great museum. I served on the Fraternal Order of Eagles museum board and Joanne (Kingsbury) and I spent many Saturdays there by ourselves at our brand new museum located in Chehalis. When someone did come in, I would take them around and try to answer any questions asked on items on display. It has been a long t...
BBB has received nearly 10 calls in the past week regarding IRS phone scams circulating in the Spokane and eastern Washington areas. Even though tax season ended months ago, scammers still claim victims owe money to the government and must pay up immediately or will suffer serious consequences. A Spokane area resident reported being called repeatedly by a phony FBI representative, claiming that she didn’t fill out forms correctly. They told her if she didn’t give them $3,200 within an hour, she would be put in jail or her...
Nicholas Tebow and Miranda Zigan, both of Odessa, are among more than 2,100 students on the spring honor roll list at Spokane Community College.

Community Colleges of Spokane is a dynamic, 12,300-square-mile state community college district that includes Spokane Community College, Spokane Falls Community College and six rural education sites, serving residents in Pend Oreille, Stevens, Whitman, Ferry and parts of Lincoln...
A city in Washington is interfering in a hotly contested congressional election by removing the signs of at least one candidate, while leaving opponents signs standing on the same public property. Moses Lake appears to be targeting candidates who do not agree to sign a contract giving them permission to place signs on public property. The chief target of this seems to be Gavin Seim, a vocal liberty Republican from central Washington. “It does not matter what party you run under. Our rights must be upheld,” says Seim, a can...
To the Editor: Though I hate to write this letter, I feel that I must. I am writing as a direct communication to one of my opponents in the election for the office of county assessor. In the two weeks since I have set up my campaign signs in various locations within Grant County, none have blown down or been removed except to take them down for mowing and then they are promptly set back up. This past weekend, as I have noticed signs of my opponents go up, my signs are broken, taken down and placed on the ground or discarded....
Editor’s note: The political campaign season is upon us, as ballots for the August primary election have gone out via the U.S. mail to registered voters in the Odessa area and elsewhere in the state. Although The Record is not aware of any complaints about campaign tactics in the Odessa area, other areas have not fared so well. Two different individuals sent information to The Record regarding their perception of unfair treatment at the hands of a municipality in once instance and of one of the campaigner’s opponents in the...
Even if you don’t speak Spanish, you can join us on a mission trip as we return to San Felipe in Baja California, Mexico. On November 7, 2015 a group of Odessans will depart Spokane and fly to San Diego, where we will rent a van and drive to Mexico. Rest assured, we will not be driving through the crime-ridden area of Tijuana. Instead we will drive through Mexicali to San Felipe, which sits on the east coast of Baja California. The last time we went to San Felipe, we partnered with former Odessa resident John Gilbert, who h...
