I arrived at the immaculate farm of Ed and Doris Jasman on a gorgeous spring day. They have lived there for 58 years, and Ed still farms a section of ground there. After they married, they basically had no furniture for the first six months. The exception was Ed's TV, a possession that ranks high in importance, he told me. After that, they relied on gifts or hand- me-downs to furnish their home when they were first starting out. Fast forward to present day, their home today...
The Michael Crichton book "Jurassic Park" and the movie based on the best-seller presented what might happen if scientists were able to clone extinct dinosaurs, bringing them back to life. While nothing like that is possible at this time, a good thing when you recall the mayhem the dinos caused in the world Crichton conjured up ; sometimes scientists surprise themselves in breathing new life into old organisms. One example of some success in what's sometimes called "resurrecti...

Thanks to the generosity of the Odessa Historical Society and many local individuals, the rummage sales held at Old Town Hall during the last two Spring Fling events, as well as some cash donations, have resulted in a bank balance of just over $3,000, which is enough to kick off plans for an exterior facelift. Phase I of the project consists of repairs to the front steps, which have deteriorated to the point of being a safety hazard. The Old Town Hall Rejuvenation Society (OTHRS) has received permission from the Odessa Town...
Good morning! Thank you for attending the graduation ceremony for the class of 2014. We are the first class to spend all four years as a Titan and we are glad you are here. Today is the start of a new beginning, a milestone or as Carley would say "a limestone" for all of us. It is also the end for many moments like class fights, winging speeches and trying to distract our teachers so we could get out of an assignment. Our class motto is "due tomorrow, do tomorrow," just...
Good morning, and welcome to the graduation ceremony of the class of 2014. It is incredible to think that today, 12 long years have passed, and we have finally reached the day we dreamed about as children. Today is a day of mixed emotions that can only be explained one way: the end of a favorite book, movie, or television series. That may sound silly, but a majority of us have been there, turning the last page of a book, feeling the pit in your stomach grow. For me, the worst...
