We have been undergoing some changes here at The Record. Some new faces are present in our office, and some familiar faces have moved on to other endeavors. Recent popular series have come to an end, and we do not know whether they will continue at some point in the future.

We have a child in school who is not a Seahawks fan and is being forced to partake in the creation of Seahawks pictures and attend class “Hawk rallies.” This child has been segregated by the other children due to not being a Seahawks fan, and the teacher has allowed this to take place. Student...

To the Editor: An Odessa friend sent me a January 9 copy of a letter to your paper. The letter was signed Duane Pitts of Moses Lake.

If Mr. Pitts is a product of that education system, low information voter comes to mind. His dismissive judgment on GOP efforts lacks a bit of balance. He blames the GOP for shutting down the government. I know...
