Local girl “done good”

Chris O’Dell podcast has the beat and The Beatles

By Jeff Brown
Staff Writer

Last summer, the SENTINEL ran a feature about former Keota resident Chris O’Dell and her fabulous career in rock and roll. Instead of starting at the bottom, O’Dell went straight to the top, moving to London in the late 60s and working with arguably the greatest band of all time. Since then, she has begun a very popular podcast that bears the Miss O’Dell name.

The complete story is in the Sept. 24 issue.

🚨🚨UPDATE 🚨🚨

As of an hour ago Stigler was still having automation issues with their plant. An electrician has been on sight trying to troubleshoot the problems. From what we are told they will be working through the night in an attempt to resolve the issues. However, they are slowly releasing water at a reduced rate to try to help us, they have been trying to do that throughout the day on and off as they can. The more consumption (faucets turned on) that goes on the longer it will take to fill the overhead and pressure the system.

If you do happen to get water, please be mindful and conservative until the system fully pressures up. We do not have an ETA on a permanent solution at this time but will keep everyone apprised as more information comes our way.
