STAFF REPORTS The 48th annual Deutschesfest has come and gone. By early Monday afternoon, you would not know that a festival had taken place over the weekend. The Odessa public works crew, employees of the Odessa Trading Company and volunteers from various businesses and civic organizations were johnny-on-the-spot to return the town to its hard-working normal routine. Not all of the results are in, but it would appear that it was another successful year overall. Grannie BarBar told The Record that it was her best year to date... Full story
To the Editor: Lisa Brown is your typical left-wing politician out trying to buy votes with our money by promising to vote against cuts in Medicare and Social Security benefits. As an economist she knows, but fails to mention, these programs are unsustainable without sizable infusions of tax dollars, benefit reductions, or both. These programs now account for nearly $2 trillion or half of the $4.1 trillion federal budget. Medicaid spending alone has skyrocketed since 2010 when ObamaCare passed, going from $273 billion to $383... Full story

BY DYANNE DEERING Like a streak of hungry Tigers coming upon a pack of sleeping caribou, the OHS Tigers devoured Waterville/ Mansfield in Friday night's Sausage Bowl. The game's final score was 83 to 0. The Tigers are now 3 and 0 for the season. The Tiger defense was, as announcer Clark Kagele put it, "like a raging sea of orange foam," keeping anything and anyone from getting through. The Tigers had an astounding 78 tackles in the game, with Drew Hardung and Josh Clark leadin... Full story
To the Editor: It looks like we have created a generation of mass murderers. The kind we read about and grew up with! Serial killers like Ted Bundy, Son of Sam, The Green River Killer etc. But now they’re so much younger! Most are 14-22 years of age. Florida’s shooter was only 19! I am sure that we will find out he was a result of bullying! Most have been or are bullied, made fun of or ridiculed for being, shall we say, different. But that’s what makes America, America! Today, they just kill them all at once! It’s faster... Full story
To the Editor: It must be working for Rep. McMorris Rodgers to make ads approved by her that are untrue. I just received a solicitation by mail on September 14, 2018 that doubles down on the lie that her opponent wanted to allow sex offenders to live near public schools. Lisa Brown wanted more children protected from sex offenders, not less. (Lisa has a history of voting to protect women and children, unlike CMR who has voted against Equal Pay for Women and at least once against the Violence Against Women Act.) A full-page... Full story

The Spokane Investigative Regional Response Team continues to investigate the deputy-involved shooting that occurred September 6, 2018 at a residence located in the 39600 block of Cayuse Cove Rd. in Lincoln County.
