To the Editor: A few years ago, I attended a workshop on politics in San Francisco. One of the main ideas taken away from that event was the importance of enthusiasm. Washington state has tried to increase voter participation with mail-in stamped ballots, yet the turnout is usually below 50 percent. So, if you are wrestling with your choice of nominee in the upcoming primary on March 10 and electability is your prime consideration, choose the candidate who is most likely to excite the most number of people, who can attract...
To the Editor: The latest shootings in downtown Seattle reinforces all the reasons to live here in Odessa! It’s the Big City Curse. Things have changed a lot in the last 60 years since I was a child there. The stuff I did as a kid there in the 50s and 60s would be totally unacceptable, outright dangerous or illegal today! Things were so much simpler back then. Gun regulations were unheard of. As a kid, I could go to the hunting supply store, buy gun powder, ammo, even my first 22 rifle at age 12. No drive-bys or kids s...

ODESSA — Life in a small town varies a bit from the city; it’s a bit slower. Rather than running to Wal-mart or McDonalds on the spur of the moment, you usually have to plan ahead. But one major upside to a small town is the sense of community that rises to meet adversity. Here, you have a community that will back you every step to the way in most situations. If you have lived in or around the area for any length of time, you would be hard pressed not to know Heaven Hicks by...
