Odessa Police Chief Ericka Rose presents Tait Wagner with a Chief Patch and OPD patch on Monday, Nov. 10, officially making him an honorary department member during his 20th birthday ride-along....
I always thought Thanksgiving was supposed to be cozy, heartwarming, and vaguely magical. I did not realize it involved a 14.5-pound turkey that outweighs my Wiener dog, Winnie, and roughly the same amount of panic I feel every time I try to cook anything larger than a frozen pizza. This week, I officially embarked on my first at-home Thanksgiving in my very own tiny house. Just me, the turkey, and enough sides to feed a small army — or at least seven or eight humans who may or may not comfortably fit in my living room. I...

DAVENPORT - An eighth-grade student captured first place in this year's Davenport Lions Club Peace Poster Contest. Raylee Murdock, daughter of Cody and Libby Murdock and an eighth-grader at Davenport Middle School, was one of 21 seventh- and eighth-grade students to enter the contest, which was themed "Together as One." Raylee said her poster depicts the world in the center with puzzle pieces surrounding it, each featuring a different country's flag. "I wanted to show that...
This week, I checked a couple of things off my personal “life challenge” list — and lived to tell the tale. I finished my 12-week gym program (yes, the one where I discovered muscles I didn’t know existed), and I attended the Veterans Day assembly in Davenport. One of those accomplishments comes with sore quads, the other with a lump in your throat. Both came with lessons I’ll carry forward. Even though I’m still in the National Guard and not technically a veteran, Veterans Day always makes me stop and think about the people...
Windy weather and chilly temperatures, combined with crazy sports schedules, reduced the number of trick or treaters in many areas. What to do with the leftover candy after all the favorites are eaten. What can we do with the rest? Make cookies, of course. Halloween candy Cookies is a recipes I have had in my collection for many years, and it is great for using up all kinds of candy. Butterfingers, Heath Bars, Twizzlers, jelly beans, Whoppers, Twix, any candy you can chop into chip size pieces will work. They could be called...

How to choose the best cold and flu medicine for your symptoms If you find yourself feeling feverish and coming down with a cough, congestion, or a runny nose, you might reach for a quick, over-the-counter (OTC) fix. But with so many products to choose from in the cold and flu aisle, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. OTC cold and flu medicines won’t cure an infection. But they can help make symptoms more manageable. GoodRx, a platform for medication savings, explains how to deter...
Why do frozen turkeys explode when deep-fried? Deep-frying a turkey is a great way to get a delicious, moist meal for Thanksgiving. But this method of cooking can be a very dangerous undertaking, University of Richmond chemistry professor Kristine Nolin writes for The Conversation. Every fall, millions of dollars of damage, trips to the ER and even deaths result from attempts to deep-fry turkeys. The vast majority of these accidents happen because people put frozen turkeys...

You know what's scarier than Halloween on a Friday night? Having National Guard duty the day after. While everyone else was sleeping off sugar comas or regrettable costume choices, I was living the true soldier's nightmare: clerical work. Yes, the "hurry up and wait" game was in full swing - times ten. Thrilling? Not even close. My highlight was probably refilling my pen ink. But before duty called, Halloween itself went off without a hitch. It was my first one in my own...
Looking Back 100 Years Ago 13 year old Florence Spadoni of Irby suffered a broken arm by a cow she was trying to drive the animal from the yard. She was treated by Dr. Thompson in Odessa and is on the mend. Frank Anderson of Peach was arrested and brought to the county jail. He is charged with grand larceny for his part in a calf stealing case that also involved Roy Gilmoure. Two Ford cars met in a head on crash near the Central Washington trestle on the Reardan-Edwall road. No one in either of the vehicles was seriously inju...
