Elizabeth Austen feared letting her poetry loose in public, until she realized she was just its channel. A stage actor for years before turning wholesale to the written word, the Seattle poet never endured stage fright when speaking lines from other writers. It was only her own work that scared her when she tried to give it voice. “My mouth would go dry, my knees would shake, and it troubled me,” says the Seattle poet, 48. “I couldn’t figure out why it was so completely different to perform my own work.” Then, an epiphany...

Everyone involved in our agricultural industry has benefitted from individuals and groups who have made extraordinary contributions to the industry. It can be as far reaching as Dr. Norman Borlaug who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his work in wheat genetics. That research is credited with helping to feed a hungry world and starting the “Green Revolution.” Or it can be local with researchers who made discoveries in the use of Variable Rate Technology for fertilizer applications or one of our local producers who...

Recently I had to make a decision that I didn’t want to make. I knew the decision to never have a school-sponsored bonfire again would be very unpopular. Previously, our insurance company warned schools about this type of event, which has a very high risk for injury and property damage. We continued to have bonfires anyway, assuming we could do it safely. With all of the adults who participate in the event, we felt it was a tradition we did not want to alter. Last spring, the bonfire was tampered with by having someone put p...

By majority vote of the members present at Tuesday's meeting of the Odessa Chamber of Commerce, the group opted to continue to use the term Deutschesfest as a single word, deciding that another change in spelling would be counter productive to the name recognition achieved over the past 20 years of using the single-term noun. The 44th Fest has come and gone, by most accounts another successful event for Odessa and its businesses, churches and other non-profit organizations....
To the Editor: Around three years ago, T-Mobile received a little more than $19 million in Federal FCC grant money to build multiple towers around the United States. More to the point, they received approximately $3.3 million to build five 300-foot-tall telecommunications towers in Lincoln County. The purpose of the FCC grant was to increase cell phone reception in rural areas. Now, T-Mobile and their tower builder 52 Eighty, are applying for Conditional Use Permits (CUP) in Lincoln County to erect those towers. The five...

Perfect for late Elberta peaches, the recipe fills an 8-inch baking dish, but Debbie reports that she usually doubles the recipe and bakes in...
