A close look at kitchen pantry items may also have you discovering a number of specialty items that didn’t get used over the holidays. One option is to donate those items to your local food bank. On the other hand, food dollars were spent on these items and there are many non-holiday recipe...

Now that we know a new year doesn’t exactly mean a clean slate, it’s time to get down to business. Most of you already know that rejuvenation of Old Town Hall is one of my favorite obsessions. The Old Town Hall Rejuvenation Society has managed to make quite a bit of progress in the past few years, with some amazing assistance from the Odessa Chapter of FBLA. The front steps have been repaired, the dining room has been painted, the kitchen got a facelift, there is a new weather resistant coating on the roof, and the windows ha...
ODESSA – It was not a white Christmas exactly, but snow did arrive in a big way as the New Year approached. Odessa and surrounding areas received up to six inches of the white stuff on Dec. 29-30, as temperatures hovered right around freezing.

Town crews worked feverishly all day on Dec. 30 to clear the...
