Odessa had a movie theater in 1913. The films were silent with piano accompaniment to provide the mood. There is the story of the silent movie era in Odessa when someone brought a dog into the theater. The film had reached its climax, with the villain ready to choke the heroine, when suddenly the dog barked. It practically sent the audience into a panic. The Dime was the first movie theater in Odessa. Our files don’t tell us exactly where this theater was located, but it was somewhere on the south side of First Avenue, b...

Byron Behne watches the grain markets for the Odessa Union Warehouse. 5/10/13: The USDA supply and demand report was not very kind to the market on Friday as prices basically lost all their gains from Thursday. The major factor was next year's corn ending stocks projected at over 2 billion bushels versus this year’s 759 million. The USDA did drop their projected yield down to 158 from 164 which was projected early on at their February outlook conference. Soybean stocks also see a large jump doubling next year's ending stocks...
This is my concern. All along the main street of town (First Avenue) there are handicapped-access curbs at each intersection. I am really glad they have them and use them, but it is hard to use them when there are people who park there and block them. I think it is real inconsiderate of people who do this. People, park further away from the handicapped access areas, even if it means you will have to walk a little farther. Carol Williams Odessa...

As May turned into June 59 years ago, the outlook was bright for a good wheat crop. Up to this time, the weather had been ideal for growing. In some ways, it is a parallel to the situation being experienced by wheat farmers in 1996 – when a storm struck the Odessa region, reversing the good fortunes that year for some. The Record had this report in its issue of June 6, 1957: A terrific thunder and lightning storm, with torrential rains and hail, hit this area on Saturday night.

I tire of hearing some people say that our schools and universities are failing and not turning out enough science-savvy students. I guess if some pundits, politicians, and corporate leaders belt it out often enough and loud enough, people will believe it. I hope not. There is good evidence that this claim of failure is false: there is no evidence that American science education is failing, and no evidence that we face a shortage of qualified science and math professionals. American students are doing well in science and...
