After several months of community meetings, discussions between the administrations of the two schools involved and plenty of traffic back and forth via social media, it would appear that the sports cooperative between Odessa and Harrington that began so optimistically only a few short years ago is now on life support. Even Odessa’s superintendent Dan Read, up until about a month ago one of the most vocal supporters of the co-op and an advocate for working out any differences to the satisfaction of all, indicated that he b...

Last week’s history column included a picture of local volunteers Leslie Fink and Rhonda Kuch painting. The article that should have accompanied the picture unfortunately hit the cutting room floor for lack of space. The story was from 25 years ago and had to do with the new pool that had just been built, and the volunteers were painting the interior of the dressing rooms. The entire column for 25 years ago can be read on The Odessa Record’s website, issue of May 18, 2017, at www.odessarecord.com. 100 years ago The Ode...

I am not worried about me. This town is already in good hands. I will work with the city council and employees we already have here. Why change what’s working good for us no...

Example: I owe WHAT! No, I paid that and I can prove it; let’s follow the website trail. I did. During this time I was messing around I had signed up for a PayPa...

The recipe calls for a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) which replace some of the fat one would expect to find in crumb crust. She found the recipe on Allrecipes.com. Blueberry Squares Crust:...
