Saturday morning, with great anticipation a small crowd waited at the Harrington Opera House lobby for the sixth annual pre-Christmas visit of Santa, whose arrival was heralded by the sirens of the fire truck that provided transportation while Santa's reindeer were feeding at the wide spot on Crab Creek near Harrington. From 10 a.m. to noon, twenty-two sittings for photos occurred with an elf-like lady in a grand vintage-style dress dispensing the bags of candy treats...

Know the difference between a Holstein and a Hereford? You’re in rare company. According to a new survey, nearly three in four Americans admit that they know “very little or nothing” about farming. It’s a solid bet they know even less about different breeds of cattle – or the difference between the sweet corn we eat and the field corn grown on most farms. That’s a shame. The impact of America’s farmers on the economy and the environment has never been greater – or more positive. Americans’ lack of awareness about farming is...

Osteoporosis and fractures are major health problems for millions of people. In the United States, half of women and one-fourth of men 50 years or older will suffer an osteoporosis related fracture within their lifetime. Osteoporosis is a condition of thin bones and increases the risk of breaking a bone. Our bones are constantly replenishing themselves, but as we age, we lose more bone than we make. Because of this, bones become thin and fragile. After menopause, women lose bone even more quickly, and medications like prednis...
12 years ago From The Odessa Record November 30, 1939 The Christmas buying season is on and Odessa merchants have stocked heavily. This was fortunate, it was revealed during the past week, when it seemed increasingly difficult to get orders filled. Early buyers will get the advantage. The war situation in Europe, with the present governmental permission to engage in sales to warring nations, together with strikes in many plants, is causing the difficulty in getting merchandise. On a round of the stores this week the Record ne...

Like millions of Americans, my day starts by plugging in the coffeepot. In my case, it’s an old fashion percolator. It clears its throat and brews my coffee while I rub sleep out of my eyes and brush my teeth. My habit of starting my day with coffee -- and following that initial cup with doses of java in the mid-morning, the late morning and the early-afternoon -- may be at least partially grounded in my genes. Researchers have long believed that genetics influences a p...
Visions of sugar plums dancing in your head? Probably not, but a list of Christmas baking may be formulating in your mind. Most present day cookie and candy makers would not want to spend the time involved in making the many layered confections known as sugarplums. Easy to prepare, bake and store cookies are what most cooks are looking for in recipes. A Spokane reader called requesting a drop sugar cookie recipe printed in this column a few years back. I believe Sour Cream...
