As many in the community are aware, Odessa Memorial Healthcare Center is experiencing a lot of change within the provider community.

For a very pleasant change, the weather cooperated with temperatures in the low 70s and very little wind. Vendors battled sunburn rather than windburn, but we heard no complaints. Other than a few minor hiccups here and there, the event went smoothly for the Stumpjumper Motorcycle Club, whose members are now hard at work compiling the names and placement of the many riders involved in the various e...

Last Thursday, March 24, Odessa's newest business offering, Rolling Thunder Pizza, passed its final inspection with the Lincoln County Health Department and began serving pizza that same evening. With such short notice and only social media to spread the word, the first night was slow, as was to be expected. Only one pizza was sold. Word spread rapidly after that, and the next evening 15 pizzas went out the door. On Saturday, they sold out. Brothers Nate and James Lathrop boug...

This year, I see a man who says he’s for the working poor, but all he talks about is shipping people back home and punching people in the face. Is that the kind of freedom you want? It sure was not what I was fighting for, all those long years ago now. What happens when it’s your neighbor who was born here but is of a different skin color? Will you let him send them back over the border? Are you going to stand up for that person and maybe be put in jail yourself? I’ll stand up for anyone here in town or any place else. It co...
