1 years ago The Odessa Record June 13, 1919 News updates: The AIG Barnes Shows yesterday brought one of the biggest crowds to Odessa in recent years. The circus was late in arriving and children were informed that they would be held strictly responsible for any absence at school, but even then, there were enough boys on hand to see that it was located and set up properly. The late arrival caused the management to cancel the parade. Crab Creek is gradually drying up and local fishermen welcome the fact, as they plan to elimi...

Vacation Bible School has been happening this week. Some of the program focused on customs of other countries. I have a couple of recipes from countries of my own heritage to share with you.

The phrase, “I had the pleasure of speaking to...” really and truly applies to certain people in this world. Merleen Smith is the epitome of that phrase. After talking with her I always feel like I am leaving the conversation better off than I was before I started it. I can always count on the fact I will have laughed at least twice and smiled the entire time. I had the pleasure of talking with Merleen last week about the dates that the Odessa Food Bank is open and about the v... Full story

Many great events go down in history, the birth of Christ, the building of the pyramids, the Titanic and all that other stuff we learned about in Mr. Moffet's history class. And as much as we would like to compare our class and the commencement of high school to some memorable moment in time, we probably relate most to the Titanic as that, too, didn't go as planned. It seemed to be smooth sailing for most of this trip we call high school, but towards the end most of my classma... Full story

State Representative Tom Dent has provided a summary of the end of the latest legislative session: On April 28, the last day of the regular session, the Legislature passed a new two-year operating budget. The $52.5 billion spending plan increases spending by $7.8 billion or 17.5 percent. I did not vote for the operating budget. It is unsustainable. We have increased spending substantially over the last decade. In fact, since 2013 when Gov. Inslee came into office, spending has increased 70 percent. If we have any kind of... Full story

Never give up! Even when your chance for survival in 90 days is .06 percent of one percent. So if you just keep smiling, even though life sucks, it’s contagious, and you can make others s...
