Odessa's Aquatic Center, also known simply as 'the pool,' opened last week Tuesday to a cooling period of clouds and rain that kept attendance down somewhat. This week, hot weather is slated to make its return, though, and the pool will no doubt be a popular destination for young and old alike. As for the rain being a benefit to local crops, Mark Cronrath of the Odessa Trading Company said that it could help fill out the kernels in the winter wheat crop and possibly provide so...

To the Editor: We are so happy to hear that others are concerned about the invasion of Odessa by feral populations of animals. If you want to enjoy your household pets, don’t let them run around outside at any time. Even in broad daylight, your much-loved kitty can become lunch for a coyote. Offering food to the wild animals makes the danger of attacks on domestic pets even greater. In our yard, we cannot grow many things because we are overrun by deer feeding at a neighbor’s “feeding station.” Isn’t this really a bit cruel...

I spent about 10 minutes walking around with the host instructions, trying to find all the various light switches. Then I spent another 10 minutes trying to...

The Odessa Town Council met Monday night to hear once again from the Odessa Police Department that there have been citizen complaints about wild animals causing damage to property and, in some cases, death to household pets within the town limits of Odessa. Both officers are appealing to the citizens of the town to not feed the feral cat population or leave pet food outdoors over night. The wild population includes raccoons, skunks, and coyotes, and all are attracted by pet food left out by well-meaning citizens unaware of th...
