Printer's devil Woody Ormsby marks 70 years at Comanche Chief
Odell “Woody” Ormsby, 88, recalls starting at age 18 in 1940s Comanche Chief, a paper rooted in Comanche County since 1873. He describes in-house printing, early presses, and mail by freight train, later outsourcing color printing as technology changed, with the Wilkerson family owning since 1925. He notes war timing, museum display of Linotype gear, and plans to someday retire with decades more memory of alocal publication legacy.

Parenting tips for giving up some control
Focus on the relationship not the problem and separate child from issue. Determine whose problem it is and avoid fights over hair or standards. Emphasize present feelings, understanding, acceptance, and the child’s direction. Give limited choices to build responsibility and avoid battles.
