As I close a chapter of my life, I’ve been thinking about the next one. While I’m glad to be done with high school, I’m moving into a new chapter that is even harder; college. I think most of the graduation excitement doesn’t come from being done, but from just beginning. When the rest of my class disperses to their new respective communities, I hope they will remember that they are not quite done either. We all have long journeys ahead of us, and not one leads to the same place. Some of us will stay in the place we grew up...

Southwest Salad 1 head Napa cabbage, coarsely chopped 2 avocados, peeled,...
1 years ago From The Odessa Record June 19, 1914 There are no 100-year items this week, due to lack of a file. 75 years ago From The Odessa Record June 22, 1939 Credit for the numerous showers that fell during the week went to C.C. Dobson who has continued his almost unbroken record of drawing rainfall every time he cuts his hay crop. It looked like the record would be broken when mowers entered the field on a clear, bright morning. By noon it was cloudy and rain started after dinner. Two years ago the commercial club...

By DR. E. KIRSTEN PETERS Think about the most complicated machine you've dealt with in the past year. Was it a beeping monitor tethered to a high-tech device in an emergency room? Or was it a superfast computer you used at work? Actually, the most complicated machine you've interacted with was the one you used this morning when you switched on a light or plugged in your coffee machine. The entire power grid has to balance supply (generation) and demand (load) on a second by...
By TIM MAREMA and ROBERTO GALLARDO Lincoln County residents who are nearing retirement age can increase their lifetime income if they can wait a bit to start drawing Social Security benefits. In Lincoln County 1,802 residents, or 17.3 percent of the population, are aged 55 to 64. Those are the years when folks start thinking seriously about retirement.

Over the past nine years the Odessa Friends of the Pool have been working hard to support the Odessa Aquatic Recreation Center. The FOP was founded in 2005 by concerned moms who were willing to work with the town to keep the pools open through a budget crunch.
