Fire safety is something we all hear about as children. In elementary school we learn to "Stop, Drop and Roll," to call 911 and to know where the fire extinguishers are located. All of this information is vital to the safety of families and their homes. It is so important that we remember it and practice it. Practicing fire safety is the key.

To the Editor: Having feared death all my life, now that I am confronted with it daily, I no longer fear it. I fear only that the period leading up to my death will have been a waste of time, and the loved ones I will leave behind will be full of emptiness. Had I during my life feared death as little as I do now, I would have dared bigger and better things. Life can be so fleeting, so I live every day like it will be my last. I wanted to do something amazing and own it before I go. That’s my philosophy, since I was d...

ears to be in store for Odessa residents. Sore throats, colds and a bit of flu have kept many indoors for days at a time. Russian Tea is an old-fashioned and comforting citrus-infused beverage, “good for what ails you,” as the saying goes. Popular recipes from the 1960s relied on powdered orange and lemon mixes quite high in sugar content. Recently a member of a closed Facebook quilting group I belong to shared her grandmother’s recipe using fruit juices. The recipe has been...
