Last Wednesday was an event in Odessa at Reiman Park that, admittedly, came together at the last minute. That might explain the low turnout, even with the free food offered. Flyers were put up around town, and word went out through Facebook posts, but no one thought to put an ad in the local newspaper. Would that have resulted in a bigger crowd? We cannnot say so for sure, but plenty of people were said not to have known a thing about it despite the flyers and Facebook...

Fires in crop fields and pasture lands kept Odessa firefighters busy over the past few weeks. The weather has been very dry since the beginning of summer, and any small spark can turn into a conflagration. Paul and Kerry Scheller have had their share of fire troubles. The winter snows and spring rains have made for an abundant crop, but at the same time, there is much thick stubble just waiting for a spark to ignite it. Over this past weekend, the Schellers experienced their third field fire this season. Although combine...
