Odessa’s newest postmaster is Becky Moeller, who transferred here from Harrington after 18 years as postmaster there.

Becky Moeller was born in Baker, Ore. but raised mostly in North Idaho. Her father was a miner, and the family moved as jobs became available. She began her career with the U.S. Postal Service in K...

Recently, the Friends of the Library were able to invite storyteller extraordinaire, David Crouch, to entertain many in...
It is snowing as I sit down this early Monday morning to write the column. Is March going to come in like a lion or a lamb? Either way this yummy, Chunky Apple Cake recipe, submitted by Kathy Jantz, is perfect for late winter and early spring. Additionally it just might be the recipe Nancy Liner has been searching for. The ingredients are the same and if one makes the small goof that Nancy reported making, the results would be the same. Nancy’s error, she reported, was m...

Often we don’t understand the ways of God until we look back and see the whole picture. For example, we didn’t understand why God sent a young girl out of “juvenile detention” to live with us and become our daughter. It was a very difficult season of our lives, having our 10-month-old handicapped son Treg with all of his challenges. We were in the throes of building a new church and young couples were coming in and then God sends us this young girl who quickly became a big part of our lives. Don’t think we didn’t go through...
Byron Behne watches the grain markets for the Odessa Union Warehouse. 1/10/13: Tomorrow the USDA bombards us with their latest round of reports including monthly supply and demand, quarterly stocks and final corn and soybean production. The reports will be released at 9:00 a.m. local time instead of 5:30 a.m. as they have been previously. That will leave the market a short three hours to digest the news before trade closes for the week. Six out of the last six January reports have produced a limit move in corn futures, three...

Cook what you eat, and eat what you cook. Could this be your resolution for 2013? With rising food costs, meals take a bigger bite out of the family budget. Wasted food increases the cost, with no benefit to family or the budget. According to a CNN report, August 12, 2012, American families throw out 25% of purchased food, amounting to approximately 20 pounds per person a month, totaling from $1,350.00 to $2,275.00annually for a family of four. The article goes on to speak of...
Snow on the ground, the last days of school for the year, company coming and the bustle of the season seems to make kitchens the hub of activity. Let’s start off with an easy but a bit unusual, Apple Cranberry Salad, quick to prepare at a moments notice, from ingredients you can keep on hand. I came across this recipe in my dads recipe box. It was written out in his own hand using a fountain pen, but no notation of where or when he got the recipe. My guess would be around 1...

Byron Behne watches the grain markets for the Odessa Union Warehouse. 12/7/12: Chicago wheat futures lost 2.5 cents this week. However, soft white prices improved 11 cents since last Friday, due to increased export business highlighted by last weekend’s Egyptian buy. It seems like the prices in the rest of the world have risen to the point where soft white is once again competitive in these larger tenders, which bodes well for our prices moving forward – versus the other classes of wheat anyway. Tuesday next week the...
