1 years ago The Odessa Record July 26, 1918 Two men drown in Crab Creek: Clarence Hamilton and Ernest Hoppe the victims. Small boys who saw the accident say Hamilton got beyond depth.

Nathan...

The Chinese have retaliated by placing an additional 25-percent tariff on selected imports from the U.S. Just recently, the Trump administration announced the prospect of government subsidies to be paid for farmers injured by Chinese tariffs. Congress has a jaundiced eye toward more unnecessary deficit spending, so these promises ar...

If you have a protected area outdoors, use your slow-cooker outside. Chicken breasts cook nicely over night. Mama Scheller’s Chicken Salad, a recipe developed by Kerry Scheller, has been a favorite in her family f...

1 years ago The Odessa Record July 12, 1918 Some Dust Storm. Following two of the hottest days of the season, which pinched some more of the already damaged wheat, the biggest dust storm that ever struck the Odessa country during the past eighteen years, broke upon the town about 7 o'clock Tuesday evening.

To the Editor: I believe this information is important, as my name was included in a pamphlet that was included with The Odessa Record. I was listed as a member of the Odessa Athletics Hall of Fame and that is not correct. An idea about a Hall of Fame came from me, but I was not able to go to meetings, so I was dropped as a voting member. I voted for the first ballot by telephone but that was my last vote. The Hall of Fame has taken a turn away from being for individual athletes as was my original intent. I regret I waited...
