Modern veterinary science is a technically advanced field. Some animals receive not just x-rays, but sophisticated scans like MRIs. If you visit a large veterinary hospital you will find cats getting chemotherapy and dogs on the receiving end of complicated surgeries. Naturally, a lot of the training vet students receive is focused on the “hard science” parts of what they will do as practicing veterinarians. But there’s also a softer side to veterinary medicine, one that...
As May turned into June 59 years ago, the outlook was bright for a good wheat crop. Up to this time, the weather had been ideal for growing. In some ways, it is a parallel to the situation being experienced by wheat farmers in 1996 – when a storm struck the Odessa region, reversing the good fortunes that year for some. The Record had this report in its issue of June 6, 1957: A terrific thunder and lightning storm, with torrential rains and hail, hit this area on Saturday night. Damage from hail was scattered, but complete. To...

The Odessa Historical Society met earlier this month to prepare for the opening of the museum on Labor Day weekend, Sunday and Monday, May 26 and May 27, from 1 to 3 pm.

The display was enlarged in order to show more of the Joshua Elmer photos that were in storage. Joshua Elmer, born in 1867, homesteaded in 1903 in the...
I tire of hearing some people say that our schools and universities are failing and not turning out enough science-savvy students. I guess if some pundits, politicians, and corporate leaders belt it out often enough and loud enough, people will believe it. I hope not. There is good evidence that this claim of failure is false: there is no evidence that American science education is failing, and no evidence that we face a shortage of qualified science and math professionals. American students are doing well in science and...
Byron Behne watches the grain markets for the Odessa Union Warehouse. 5/10/13: The USDA supply and demand report was not very kind to the market on Friday as prices basically lost all their gains from Thursday.

The USDA did drop their projected yield down to 158 from 164 which was projected early on at their February outlook conference. Soybean stocks also see a large jump doubling next year's ending s...

I’ve decided I need a fight song. I was on my way home from town last night when the idea occurred to me. The first thing you need to know is that yesterday was the first day of my new program. (That’s right! I still haven’t given up on becoming healthier! Even though there are only 9 months until my 60th birthday, I’m giving it another try.) So I was ravenous. The first four days of this program involve two homemade shakes and a 2-cup bowl of soup, along with one crunchy...
