I’m going to change my name to “Turnip,” as in “you can’t get blood from a turnip.” Last week I actually remembered that there was an opportunity to give blood here in Odessa. I was a regular donor when I lived in Portland, and was one unit short of 10 gallons at the time I moved here. Then I took a break. I was dimly aware that the mobile donation van came to Odessa, but didn’t really think about donating here. The break lasted several years. In fact, I didn’t get ba...
Part 2 of our series on Odessa’s water issues (continued from the January 19 edition of The Odessa Record) continues this week. Why not just... dig deeper? Digging deeper wells into the Grande Ronde Basalt layer is one of the options available to the Town of Odessa in the future for meeting its municipal water needs. How deep? Based on current peak demand, the GWMA has estimated that a new well will have to supply 1,000 gallons per minute (gpm), be 700 to 1,400 feet deep (base...

He didn’t get a license number. He didn’t get a close enough look at the vehicle to provide make or model....
This is to anyone that has ever dropped a dog or a cat off on a country road or is thinking of doing it assuming a farmer will care for or find a home for your unwanted pet!! What makes you think it is easier for a farmer to find a home for your pet versus you? It is a form of animal cruelty in my eyes! Just this week we find yet another unwanted dog on our property and we are going to have to find it a home. We already have two rescue dogs (we just lost our third rescue this last week to cancer) and it takes a lot of work...
I am writing to comment on the poetry that appears in The Odessa Record written by Arley Bischoff. I am a cousin of his wife, Myrna, and really enjoy his poetry.

Many of the names are unfamiliar to me, but I still have fond memories of those that I still know today and enjoy keeping in contact through The Odessa Record. An avid reader and subscriber, Rhea...

Byron Behne watches the grain markets for the Odessa Union Warehouse. 1/18/12: Grain futures fell on Wednesday as some of the driest areas of Argentina look like they’ll get a drink in the coming days.
