Tuesday morning, Frank and Marcus Horak opened for business as usual. Just not in the usual place. In just a little over two months, the brothers have purchased the old VFW building, remodeled it and moved their entire Odessa Auto Parts inventory from their former location on West First Ave. According to the brothers, the whole idea began around July 1, when they made an offer on the VFW building. The purchase was finalized at the beginning of August, and the real work began....

On Saturday, September 13, 1902, Odessa voters overwhelmingly approved a proposition for the incorporation of their town. The Record notes the 100th anniversary of this even elsewhere in this issue, but reprints below an editorial which appeared in the September 19, 1902, on what incorporation meant to the community. The editorial is prophetic about Odessa’s future, much of which turned out to be true: Last Saturday the citizens of this community wrote a new page in the history of the town when, by an almost unanimous vote, i...
Only one week left to Deutschesfest, and there is still much work to do. And plans to get it done, if you know who to ask. Dale Ramm, project coordinator for the outdoor stage, reported that all Lions are encouraged to come to the Festplatz all day Saturday and after church Sunday to finish up. There are trim boards to be painted and installed, and the bricks which were sold to finance the project to be laid. Ramm said that having the bricks finished is the highest priority. “We’ll get it all done,” he said. Marlon Schaf...
Since the school year has started, it is perhaps a good time to remind all students that they have what it takes to be a superstar in school. The 2008 Teacher of the Year, Michael Geisen, has a few pointers for them. First, everyone has a blend of the seven types of intelligence as suggested by psychologist Howard Gardner. Those types of smartness are visual, body movement, musical, social, logical/mathematical, verbal, and self. Students need to recognize that there is no one way of being smart. Smartness is a blend of two o...
I’ve been thinking about the founding fathers quite a bit lately. It seems to me that some of us practically worship those men, without really understanding them. Before I go any farther with this line of thought, I need to say that I find the founding fathers to be a pretty impressive bunch of guys. But they weren’t gods, or even demi-gods. I think that we like to cherry-pick from among all of the things they believed, wrote or said until we find those things that justify wha...
We are living in a precarious time! We are about to elect a president who hopefully will guide us out of this financial disaster that is partially caused by too much government. According to the government accountability office the following are some of the examples. We have 82 federal programs to improve teacher quality; 80 programs to help disadvantaged people with transportation; 80 programs for economic development; 47 programs for job training and employment; 20 separate programs to help the homeless; 15 different...
Perhaps you would care to print a rebuttal to the hyperbole-laced article by Wendell Potter (Aug. 23 Record) regarding Rep. Ryan’s medicare plan? The enclosed analysis appeared on Yahoo! Finance on Aug. 23, and presents the other side of the argument. Jim Els Harrington “THE MYTHS AND REALITIES OF THE RYAN MEDICARE PLAN” By ANDREW G. BIGGS Gov. Mitt Romney's selection of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice presidential running mate has turned the 2012 presidential election into a referendum on Medicare reform. Ryan has s...
It’s commonplace to observe that we live in very partisan times. Red versus blue factions dominate our public discussions, and there often seems very little room made for agreement in the middle. It’s surely not easy to get environmental groups to agree on a policy that industry endorses. And if you add organized labor, consumer groups and the state of California to the mix, you might think agreement on one particular course of action would be impossible. But the imp...
