  • Grannie BarBar

    MONICA DEIFE|Updated Jul 30, 2014

    Barb Walter's Grannie BarBar baked goods business has graced these pages before, and since she was the first to respond, we are featuring her in this week's column. The day we stopped in to see Barb, she was baking apricot-filled rolls and cinamon rolls to sell to make money for the people displaced by the Carlton Complex fire. This fits in with the generosity we see from her. She brings cookies in to The Record pretty much any time she has some left over from an event. Barb...

  • Program for investing dollars in local businesses

    Updated Jul 30, 2014

    As this nation continues the struggle to recover from the Great Recession, entrepreneurs will play a vital role in creating jobs and expanding the economy as they currently create 60 to 70% of the new jobs in this country. But many businesses fall victim to one major barrier – access to capital. Since the 1970s, there has been a steady decline in accessing capital by small businesses alongside, per capita, a steady decline in the creation of jobs. A recent study by Pepperdine University asked small business owners their t...

  • This Week in Odessa History

    Updated Jul 30, 2014

    5 years ago From the Odessa Record July 30, 1964 George F. Beck A July issue of the Odessa Record included in its 50 Years Ago column an account of one of the high points in Marlin history. “Krupp was visited by two serious fires this week. Sunday evening the first blaze started in the west end of the Seattle Grain Warehouse, burned it down and also destroyed the Krupp warehouse and 10 boxcars. Monday night the fire started at the east end of the Puget Sound warehouse and the Krupp Hotel. The people of the town have mounted...

  • Rock Doc

    Updated Jul 30, 2014

    By DR. E. KIRSTEN PETERS It certainly sounded like a fad to me. A while ago I caught a program on public television about a medical doctor in Great Britain. Dr. Michael Mosley, like millions in both that country and in the U.S., found that in middle age he needed to lose weight and lower his blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Mosley works as a journalist for the BBC and has decades of experience talking with scientific researchers on a whole range of topics. In connection with one of his programs, he had a MRI of his body. T...

  • Welcome to my Kitchen

    Updated Jul 30, 2014

    Barb Walter of Grannie Barbar’s Cookies and Breads is always testing new recipes to add to her baked goods selection, and often the Sunday Morning Coffee Hour partakers benefit from her experiments. Kyle Tebow suggested I get the recipe and include it here. Barb says this one won’t appear on her baked goods table, as it does not present well as a wrapped cookie, but it is a very tasty, little bit chewy, cookie. Though I have cut the recipe in half, this still makes a huge batch of cookies. Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 cup but...

  • Letter to the Editor; Grant County campaign generates more controversy

    Updated Jul 30, 2014

    To the Editor: Not too often do we feel compelled to write a “Letter to the Editor” but we felt the need to respond to the recent full page ad placed by Mr. Angus Lee in the Columbia Basin Herald. We have known Garth Dana, both personally and professionally, for approximately 7 years. I am glad that Mr. Dana has maintained his dignity as this campaign approaches the primary and general elections. I believe that this is due, in part, because of the integrity of the man and the respect he holds for the office he seeks. If you...

  • USDA procedures cited for filing crop insurance claims

    Updated Jul 30, 2014

    The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Risk Management Agency reminds producers affected by recent fires and weather-related crop damage in the Pacific Northwest of important procedures for claiming losses under the Federal crop insurance program. All producers should refer to their crop insurance policies for complete details on providing notice of damage or loss. In general, producers must give notice within 72 hours of the initial discovery of damage or loss of production of a planted crop, and not later t...

  • Lost and Found Pet Network sends aid

    Updated Jul 30, 2014

    What started out July 22 as a request to LCWLFPN by local dog trainer Kay Frazier asking if a bearded collie, featured on KREM TV as Spokanimal’s Pick of the Litter was still needing a home, has turned into so much more. What is meant to help one, oft times helps many. This has been evident so often for LCWLFPN in its first year as a pending non-profit, that it has been added to the motto. Events unfolded quickly last week in Davenport, once it was determined that Andy, a 10-month-old bearded collie featured last week as S...

  • Fast- moving storm batters eastern WA

    Updated Jul 30, 2014

    For any of our readers who might still be wondering why the much-hyped Avista power outage that was scheduled to occur last Wednesday evening never materialized. If you chalked it up to the violent storm that passed over Odessa and then moved on to Colville, Spokane and further east, you would be right. Even though the storm moved quickly through Odessa, dumping enough rain to make the downtown streets flow with several inches of water, the damage it did through a combination of wind, lightning and water as it moved into...

The board also hired Tim Hauge as the new bus driver, Jeff Nelson as the high-school a...

  • Letter to the Editor; Promoting Odessa's business future

    Updated Jul 30, 2014

    To the Editor: Art fest at Deutsches Fest? Art gallery? Where is the bar? Are you ever going to open again? Car wash? Let me try to address some of these questions. For sure, information is best shared in person, so I do encourage anyone to talk to me in the Gallery in the Old Rolling Thunder building in downtown Odessa, Washington USA. Odessa for sure is a unique town, with its own desirable attributes as well as its drawbacks, some unchangeable and some self-imposed. Seventeen miles off of Interstate 90, Odessa is almost...
