This year's school musical at the Odessa schools was one of the best we have witnessed on the stage of the multi-purpose room.

Something new this year, though, was the youngsters in the crowd scenes who were coached to act as if they were doing something as part of the scene, not just stand and stare at the audience or the other performers. It was a very nice touch, and the kids involved were given an...

The human brain gathers millions of pieces of information every minute, analyzes each one, comes to a conclusion within seconds, and formulates an appropriate reaction. Every one of us processes and reacts to information differently; the reaction created is dependent upon the past experiences, mood, and disposition of the individual. Sometimes, the way we react to a situation may be misconstrued as inappropriate, rash, or uncaring; even when we mean well. The unconscious part of our brain is typically responsible for...
By DR. E. KIRSTEN PETERS I was living in eastern Washington State in May of 1980 when Mount St. Helens erupted after a massive landslide triggered by a magnitude 5.1 quake.

Us "down-winders" were enveloped in conditions that were dark as night until the ash finally fell to the ground. Volcanic ash isn'...
