By majority vote of the members present at Tuesday's meeting of the Odessa Chamber of Commerce, the group opted to continue to use the term Deutschesfest as a single word, deciding that another change in spelling would be counter productive to the name recognition achieved over the past 20 years of using the single-term noun. The 44th Fest has come and gone, by most accounts another successful event for Odessa and its businesses, churches and other non-profit organizations....
As a kid, I read the Sherlock Holmes stories and the mysteries of Agatha Christie. As an adult, I wrote four mysteries that focused on a Quaker heroine solving crimes she happened across in her religious community. (I published them using my grandmother’s name, Irene Allen, as a pseudonym.) And, as a geologist, I’ve read about real-life criminal investigations that involved samples of sand and soil. But it wasn’t until I talked with Dr. Nathalie Wall of the chemistry depar...
Tuesday evening, September 16, in the city park, president Celeste Miller opened the meeting of the Harrington Historic Preservation Commission at 6:45 with Karen Allen, Aileen Sweet, Terry Howe, Anita Harman and Marge Womach present. Shortly thereafter Lindsay Harder arrived and the meeting continued. Discussion was held regarding the windows of the HHPC office and the desire of the group to have photos on display for the Fall Festival. Miller informed the group that Chaz Bates of Studio Cascade was on vacation and that she...
I was talking to a senior lady and we were focusing on how sad it was that as each generation passes they seem to be less interested in politics and voting. Ida has great grandchildren who are of voting age and she is sad to think of how the younger people take too much for granted. Ida and her husband (who served in World War II) were children of immigrants who always voted after they became citizens. They were homesteaders who had to work very hard to support their families during the depression and the rationing caused by...
Can we ride ATVs on county roads in Lincoln County? This seems to be one of the most common questions lately, but the answer is, it depends. In 2013, the Washington State Legislature passed HB 1632 that allows ATV use on county roads that are posted 35 miles per hour or less. Of course, the ATVs must be licensed and meet certain regulations in order to be legally driven on these roads. It has taken some time for the Department of Licensing to develop the required license...
To the Editor: Around three years ago, T-Mobile received a little more than $19 million in Federal FCC grant money to build multiple towers around the United States. More to the point, they received approximately $3.3 million to build five 300-foot-tall telecommunications towers in Lincoln County. The purpose of the FCC grant was to increase cell phone reception in rural areas. Now, T-Mobile and their tower builder 52 Eighty, are applying for Conditional Use Permits (CUP) in Lincoln County to erect those towers. The five...
Deutsches Fest has come and gone, and after several weeks of preparing, serving and eating German food, most folks are ready to return to lighter fare. Most Odessa gardens seem to have escaped the mid-September freeze, so there are vegetables and fruits still available. Debbie Buscher shared her much requested recipe for Peach Pudding. Perfect for late Elberta peaches, the recipe fills an 8-inch baking dish, but Debbie reports that she usually doubles the recipe and bakes in...
To the Editor: On Thursday, September 18, House Speaker John Boehner (R) made his first direct comment about those who do not work: “This idea that has been born [not working], maybe out of the economy over the last couple years, that you know, ‘I really don’t want to work. I don’t really want to do this. I think I’d rather just sit around.’ This is a very sick idea for our country.” If it is now safe for the first time for House Speaker Boehner to dis those who do not work, then all Americans can now also safely dis th...
