The recipe gives instructions for oven baking, but it works equally well in a slow cooker. The mozzarella cheese and seasonings give a pizza like flavor. Mozzarella Stuffed Meatloaf...

For the past 16 years, former Odessa High School English teacher Dr. Duane Pitts, now semi-retired and living in Moses Lake, has written a special piece honoring the late Dr. King on the occasion of this national holiday. We can end homelessness, but don’t. Dr. King noted that our failure of will means we “cannot enter the kingdom of greatness.” Busing a homeless woman elsewhere, tossing a coin to a homeless family, punishing a homeless veteran for sleeping in the park are neither compassionate nor charitable. Each denie...

After much agonizing and several months of searching for anyone with ties to Odessa who might want to take over publication of The Odessa Record, we have decided that interest in a small weekly newspaper simply isn’t present among current and former Odessa folks. So the time has come, for the sake of family and for health reasons, to hang up the red editor’s pen and try to enjoy some more relaxed years of retirement. The job has been enjoyable for the most part, and the expressions of thanks for our efforts by several avid re...
