Roasting lamb is not hard, but requires a bit more roasting time per pound that other red meats. This is because lamb is not as marbled with fat as beef and...

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 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...
