To the Editor. Concerning the fireworks of Friday, March 29, 2019 and Saturday, March 30, 2019. Friday night was bad for noise. Saturday sounded like a war zone.

No consideration was given to people who have PTSD or animals that may be affected by the noise. I didn’t know any fireworks were going to happen, I only found out after calling law enforcement [and learning] that a permit was g... Full story

This is the second year I’ve happily donated the balloons and my time to build an arch for Go! Odessa Recreation’s Third Annual Daddy-Daughter Dance. Since this year’s theme was the circus, Kaylene James, founder of Go! Odessa Recreation, had the idea of a yellow and white popcorn- inspired arch coming out of large popcorn bags. I thought since popcorn shapes can be pretty random that an organic garland, rather than a traditional arch might be more fitting. [Note: Organ... Full story

Fortunately, the weather has warmed up, so snow drifts and frozen ground will no longer be... Full story
