When asked for a comment on the season, head coach Larry Weber said, “Just a hug...

One playoff hole wasn't enough to break the tie, but on the second playoff hole, Panke sunk a 25-putt for eagle to take the win. Odengaard missed a s...

Spring Rhubarb is sprouting up in area gardens. This tart garden plant, produces long stalks that make wonderful pies and crisps, jams and chutneys. Though carefully tended rhubarb can continue to produce into the early summer, spring is the best of the crop.

ODESSA – Odessa Clinic manager Barbara Schlimmer has a couple of questions for the local population, “Are you 50 or older? Do you know somebody 50 or older?” The reason she asks is because shingles is a painful rash illness that can lead to long-term nerve pain that, in some cases, can last years after the shingles rash disappears.
