As I was getting ready for work Friday, June 30, I received a message from Kaylene James that said, "Today, for the last day of track and field camp, they are having a mini track meet. Thought if the paper needed to fill some space, it would be good. It goes from 9-11 a.m." She then told me it was for incoming grades 1-6. The week-long track and field camp is just one of several activities being hosted by Go! Odessa Recreation, a non-profit founded and run by James to bring...
Independence Day in Odessa was a relatively calm and quiet affair, with only a few evening fireworks disturbing the peaceful, small-town atmosphere that prevailed most of the day. The members of the Odessa Volunteer Fire Department and their families served up a lunch of pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, potato salad, chips and watermelon.

To the Editor: Many years ago, before 1940, most states had students take a test when they finished the eighth grade. If they passed the test, they could go on to high school. If not, they could keep trying to pass it until they were 16. When they were 16, they were told to go get a job. I have copies of the test that was very difficult. Looking recently at the percentage of students who graduated from college after four years, it is very obvious that we possibly have too many young people who are not college material....

As reported at Monday evening’s town council meeting, Odessa police chief Tom Clark is very pleased with a computer application now available to Odessa residents that allows alerts to be issued on subjects related to public safety.

The app allows users to anonymously contact the Odessa police with such information as tips about crimes in p...
