The second annual Tim Hauge Memorial Golf Scramble drew a large group of golfers to Odessa Golf & RV. The event in memory of Pastor Tim Hauge, who died in 2016, is used to raise scholarship money for ongoing post-secondary education. According to Deanna Nelson, secretary at Christ Lutheran Church, the scholarship is envisioned for anyone who meets the application guidelines, which are still in development. However, it will be open to any high school graduate wanting to pursue higher education right after high school or even l...
Odessa High School FBLA has been selected for a Civic Award by 2nd Harvest of Spokane.

To the Editor: When I was a young boy, small business was the backbone of America. It was necessary to have because of gas rationing. Soon after the war was over, the business world decided bigger was better. Supermarkets soon followed, and Ike completed his highway program. Smaller businesses soon disappeared and super stores like Toys R Us appeared, and they were considered too large to fail. However, the evil monster "Debt" overtook Toys R Us and they became the 19th super large retailer this year to seek Chapter 11...
To the Editor: I am writing this in response to the “Letter to the Editor” written by Briette Boss in last week’s Odessa Record. I will begin by saying everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion, but not their own set of facts. Miss Boss neglected to ask/interview any of the administration at the Odessa School District as to why the cheer squad does not currently ride the bus to games. Perhaps the information provided below will shed light on any continued concerns. In years past, the cheer squad has ridden the b...
Football The Tiger football team was scheduled to play Wellpinit Friday, September 29, but not enough officials could be found to handle the Friday night game. The three gentlemen officiating Thursday’s junior-high football game were willing to add on the high school game after the junior-high game. Quarterback Camden Weber completed all three of his attempted passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns. Marcus King caught one TD pass for 42 yards, and Colton Hunt caught two passes for a total of 61 yards and one TD. Brady W...
Last week’s football report requires an explanation. The initial informaiton on the Touchet game listed on the MaxPreps website had Colton Hunt as the quarterback, completing a good percentage of his passes. We did notice further down the list of stats that Hunt had also received some passes, which we thought was odd to say the least. But, as is often the case here at The Record, we ran out of time to pursue the issue prior to our print deadline. At Thursday night’s game (Sept. 28) against Wellpinit (moved up from Friday due...
Needhams With many alumni coming into Harrington and a number of class reunions occurring on Friday, September 22, on the eve of the Fall Festival, the Church of the Nazarene hosted the return of the Needhams to the Harrington Opera House. With a brief introduction, the Needhams began another spectacular performance to an audience of nearly 70. Most of the songs were written by the Needhams. For this performance, the Needhams consisted of Dave, his sister Diane Mummert and Diane’s son Steve Jr. Their repertoire included ...
DAVENPORT—In an effort to double-down on its mission to serve all of Lincoln County, Davenport Theatrical has announced a new name, Wheatland Theatre Company, and a season of four upcoming productions, with performances throughout the region. Following last July’s “Big Fish,” which saw record-high ticket sales, the company announced that it would discontinue producing new shows until more volunteers could be found. Soon after, dozens of responses started pouring in from interested volunteers. Then a small miracle happene...
Foundations As we watch and listen to the news of the past few weeks, we see how hurricanes have devastated much of the gulf coast from Texas to Florida, as well as other countries. In years gone by, I have spent time in the aftermath of such storms both helping in the recovery and standing amazed at the power and devastating punch these storms hit land with. In many cases the only things left were the foundations and the memories of what had been there. Growing up in the northwest, it’s hard to think that a storm could c...
