The Titans held tough until late in the game against Curlew on Saturday at home in Odessa, but Curlew scored six runs late for the victory, 11-1. Brad Johnston was solid at the plate for the Titans. He went 2-4 and scored one run, singling in both the first and seventh innings. Three players combined for four hits and five runs batted in early in the game. The outcome was never in doubt after the third inning, as Curlew scored two runs on an RBI double and a sacrifice fly....

Snow drops are blooming and we are past the vernal equinox, so it must be spring. Sunny days whet our taste buds for the fruits of summer, but the local berries, vegetables and fruits are still a few months in the future. Maybe this is why lemon flavored recipes come to the fore in springtime. Coincidentally, the first of the gluten free recipes to come along in response to my request on behalf of gluten free diet readers is lemon based. Merleen Smith shared the recipe for...

My mother lives with me and I'm involved in her medical care. She's a tough cookie. But like many 88-year-olds, she has several health problems. We visit her doctor at least once a month to report what's working and what isn't doing the trick. Recently the doctor ordered blood work that showed she was low in vitamin D. So now I've added vitamin D tablets to her daily medication regime. In the summer our bodies produce vitamin D when sunlight strikes our skin. But during the...
“God will never give you anything you can’t handle.” -Kelly Clarkson It’s pretty easy to do one thing at a time. Two things? No problem. Three or four, even? Sure! It’s not hard to multi-task; you do one or two things here and there and, a little at a time, everything gets done. But, sometimes, we try to do everything all at once; that’s when we experience problems. Sometimes, when faced with a series of tasks, it seems like a really good idea, at first, to do everything all at once. That way you won’t have anything to do lat...
The wheat market has continued to rally over the last three weeks, resulting in marketing year highs for both old and new crop prices. New crop prices are now at higher levels than what most people sold this year's crop. When wheat markets were at their low at the end of January, the speculative funds were holding a short position in the Chicago futures of over 550 million bu. The size of last year's Soft Red Winter Wheat crop was 560 million bu. At that time China, Egypt and Iraq, along with other buyers, stepped into the...

To the Editor: It is getting close to a year since we had an armed assault on a power station in California and we have no answers from our government. Last April 16, a person or persons slipped into an underground vault outside of San Jose. Telephone cables were cut in a way that made them difficult to repair. Cameras picked up a streak of light about a half hour later and snipers opened fire. The shooter appeared to be aiming at the transformer’s cooling systems that were filled with oil. The system leaked 52,000 gallons t...
“You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take.” - Wayne Gretzky From the ordering take-out, to choosing a baby name, we have all come to a point in our lives when we have been faced with a choice. I have seen too many people always choosing the same thing, the same methods, the same path they travel every time. It pains me to see so few people who are willing to try new things. One of these things is “the usual”. When I go out to eat or see a character on TV and they ask for “the usual”, it bothers me probably m...
Even if I walked to work each day, I would still be indebted for my daily bread to cars and trucks. The many goods we buy in stores arrive at their destinations courtesy of the internal combustion engine. Motors and engines are woven into the warp and weft of all our economic activity from farming to manufacturing. Although small amounts of biofuels are mixed with the gasoline we purchase, most of the fuel we use comes from crude oil. Energy companies work night and day to...
