Our front page photo from the going-away party for Monica Deife left off the name of Susan Jensen at the far right in the back row. The editor was very much under the weather last week, and unfortunately the paper suffered as a result. Last week’s photograph accompanying the baseball story incorrectly identified the subject. The pitcher in that photo was Colton Hunt, son of Stacey Hunt of Ritzville and Amy Hunt of Odessa. Our apologies to Susan and to Colton....

FACT: An estimated 32% of fatal car crashes involve an intoxicated driver or pedestrian. Drinking alcohol and driving simply do not go together. The human brain has to deal with many things and process countless data all the time. Alcohol affects attentiveness and one’s ability to make quick decisions on the road, react to changes in the environment and execute specific, often difficult maneuvers behind the wheel. When drinking alcohol, driving becomes dangerous – and is potentially lethal! Despite increased public awareness,...

Asked by Xitan of The Philippines. Dear Xitan, Look up to the twinkly stars and you’ll witness starlight traveling from deep space to your eyeballs. That twinkling you see is the light taking lots and lots of detours. Out in space, astronauts don’t see stars twinkle. I learned about this from my friend, astronaut John Fabian. He studied engineering at Washington State University and flew two space shuttle missions with NASA. Before his missions, they told him not to worry if the stars weren’t twinkling in space. It’s normal...
To the Editor: Kids and water... Your front-page article on bridge-building kids brought back memories; when I was a lot younger I played in the creek. Without water we couldn’t live here and without kids we wouldn’t be here, cause we all started out as kids, so why are you trying to stop the kids from having fun. If you take a trip around town, I think you will see a lot of boats so I think a lot of us older kids like to play in the water, only we call it fishing. Henry Wilson Odessa...
To the Editor: Congress is still fighting about whether or not La Raza ( Liberals) will win and we would legally become a multi-lingual country. The Red party would like to pass “The English Language Unity Act” that would make us a Legal English Language Republic. This Bill has been viable for years but there were not enough votes to pass it. La Raza would have voters faced with ballots in over 200 languages. The number of people and their languages is increasing thanks to our lack of immigration laws that have teeth! For...
