As I was interviewing Karen Peterson for this column, I realized that most of you probably already know her and her family. But then there are newbies like myself who do not.

They had two children, Nicki Peterson of Lake Havasu, Ariz., and Bryce Peterson, our Odessa policeman. Ron was in the coast guard, and at one time they were stationed at the Makapuu lighthouse station in Hawaii. They lived in Ferndale for y...

As I was getting ready for work Friday, June 30, I received a message from Kaylene James that said, "Today, for the last day of track and field camp, they are having a mini track meet. Thought if the paper needed to fill some space, it would be good. It goes from 9-11 a.m." She then told me it was for incoming grades 1-6. The week-long track and field camp is just one of several activities being hosted by Go! Odessa Recreation, a non-profit founded and run by James to bring...

BNB basketball camps are offered...
Several weeks ago a gentleman dropped a recipe by The Odessa Record office, but staff did not catch his name. Our policy is to not print recipes anonymously, but the recipe concept intrigued me. The recipe arrived as a list of ingredients but no amounts and minimal directions, making it difficult for many readers to know how to proceed. I do love a puzzle, so I did a little experimenting and the following, after several attempts, is my version with the list of ingredients as I...

Over the past approximately eight years, this is the third time an Odessa student has been awarded one of the few scholarships from Grand Lodge, via our local Masons in Odessa Lodge No....
My daughter, Jena Meise has been selling LuLaRoe clothing for about a year now, and what a great experience LuLaRoe has been for us. Recently, I was blessed to go along with her on a cruise to the Bahamas and Virgin Islands, a cruise she earned by selling LuLaRoe. We set sail on April 30, 2017 out of Port Canaveral, Fla. Once our room was ready we headed that direction to put our luggage inside. When we entered our room, we were welcomed with some fun LuLaRoe Swag and a very nice welcome note. On our first night of the cruise...

May 14 was a wonderful time of celebration with many family members traveling from all over to come and celebrate with her....
Recipes that include ingredients used in an unexpected or non-traditional way intrigue me. Maybe necessity was the mother of invention or, as is often the case now, dietary needs create new ingredient combinations. Charlene Kagele served Blueberry Squares at a recent quilters gathering. The recipe calls for a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) which replace some of the fat one would expect to find in crumb crust. She found the recipe on Allrecipes.com. Blueberry Squares Crust:...
I am sitting here at my dining room table looking out the window as I prepare to write this column. My thoughts go back to May 24, 2016, the day we moved to Odessa. In my first Meet your neighbors column in November 2016, I mentioned the warmth and love we felt from the wonderful people in this town and how we felt welcomed as we got out into the community. The only thing that has changed from that time until now is that things are even better. Thank you again to our Odessa...
It's the morning of Saturday, April 29, of Spring Fling in Odessa, and I'm getting ready to follow through on a commitment I made just a few days before. I am meeting Sean Owsley, lead singer of the Blue Mustangs band and the morning news anchor for KHQ-6 news in Spokane to conduct my first solo interview. I'm not nervous, which was exactly what I had hoped for. The main reason I chose him for my first interview is that he seemed like a very down-to-earth person. I had been ir...
