The community center in Odessa was full to capacity, and the bidding was fierce, especially at some of the silent auction tables as folks lined up to up the price one more time as closing time drew near. Justin Parr was master of ceremonies for the evening and kept the evening's activities on their proper timeline. Parr was notified by the team bus...

I appreciate America’s veterans, because they protected our country while they were in the service. I also appreciate America’s veterans, because they are role models to most people like me. The reason they are role models is because they go to war without saying a word. They are not afraid of dying. They will be there when you need help. They can also fly planes like nobody’s business. I can show my appreciation for America’s veterans by making sure to say thank you to every veteran I see. I want to make them feel appreci...
His teeth had no cavities, but they were heavily worn. He was about my height -- some 5 feet, 7 inches tall. He wasn’t petite, likely weighing around 160 pounds. Well before his death, he broke six of his ribs. Five of them never healed, but he kept going nevertheless. A recent article in “The Smithsonian Magazine” details all this and more about Kennewick Man, an ancient skeleton found on the banks of the Columbia River in south-central Washington State in 1996. The occas...

Our community is in desperate need of additional EMTs to help serve both 911 calls and emergency transports to other communities for advanced levels of care. Unfortunately, the need for EMTs isn’t unique to our community. Services such as ours struggle to keep quasi-volunteers due to the commitment involved in maintaining EMT certification and due to the time commitment it takes. The need for maintaining competence and credential is, of course, essential and necessary to provide the high quality of service that our patients a...

The Titan girls last Saturday finally defeated Almira-Coulee/Hartline, to whom they lost twice during the regular league season, to take the District 7 championship played at Northwest Christian High School in Colbert (Spokane). The girls pulled together as a team and settled into a steadfast, can-do attitude. The first game started off rather poorly for the Titans, as they tried desperately to get to every ball coming their way, leading to plenty of balls that went flying out of bounds. The final score in that game was 25-8...

The Odessa Aquifer that supplies water to much of the eastern Columbia Basin Project – via wells too deep for replenishment by rain and snow – was the number one topic at the conference held at Big Bend Community College. “There is...
The proposed budget introduced by Mayor Doug Plinski at Monday’s meeting of the Odessa Town Council would increase local water rates by five percent, sewer rates also by five percent and garbage rates by three percent (garbage is a contracted service and the provider has raised rates by that much) in order to keep up with expenses incurred for maintenance and repair of the town’s water and sewer systems. Small cities and towns throughout eastern Washington have been hard hit by reduced revenue streams over the past few yea...
