Ten Years Ago May 10, 2007 The site of the former John Smith Implement and Hardware, known locally as “The Hole,” is in the process of being “renovated” for new uses.

Are you asking yourself, what happened to the perfect pound cake recipe I was talking about last week? I spent at least a half hour looking for it on Saturday and couldn't find it. I think I pulled it out of my drawer so I would have it when I was ready for it, so it is somewhere. So frustrating; but that seems to be how I roll. I saw this recipe and it caught my eye because of the smoked paprika. We have some, but I've never used it. It seemed like a lot of paprika, but the reviews all said it...

I wasn’t sure which recipe I was going to use this week. I have a recipe that is called, The Perfect Pound Cake. It takes lots of butter and eggs so I wanted to try it first before I suggested someone else try it. I still have a tub of Klicker’s strawberries frozen and frozen blueberries. I want to make the pound cake and put the fruit on top. That, hopefully, will be next week’s recipe. I went searching through a recipe box that a friend shared with me. I found this one and thought it would be perfect for tomorrow’s dinner. I have leftove...

I hadn’t thought about granola for a very long time, until my daughter-in-law mentioned she had it and how good it was. I asked her to share the recipe, and I had remembered I had seen my old granola recipe not too long ago. I must have been about her age when I started making it. There are many variations you can make, according to your taste. I will share her recipe and the one I have had for 40 years. They change only in the amounts of oil and sugar—well, I guess in the other ingredients also. Granola - from Alma 5 cups oats ½ c. grou...

I was needing to make something for the church coffee hour. This recipe came to my email, via All Recipes. I have had it before and remembered I liked it, and thought this would kill two birds with one stone. It would be my vegetable recipe also. It's probably not one that you would make at home to eat, as it fills a baking sheet. The recipe says 9 x 13, but my baking sheet was a 10 x 13 and it still could have been a bit bigger. It would make a nice recipe for a gathering or luncheon. One...

This week's recipe is cinnamon bread, because it came into my email and I can't resist fresh bread. In case you are wondering, the "1" added to the name probably means it is one of many. I wish I was drawn to entrees or salad recipes, but, no, it's desserts and breads. I made a cinnamon coffee cake last week. I remembered, then, I didn't care for it the first time so I threw the recipe away, in case my memory was short again. This one is a keeper, light but not too sweet. I am still eating on...
Ten Years Ago April 5, 2007 Should Markeeta Little Wolf’s preliminary 15-vote-lead over Mayor Marty Dunn in the 2007 Waitsburg City Election hold, the election will go down in the history books for its number of firsts: Waitsburg’s first female mayor, Waitsburg’s first mayor of Native American heritage, Waitsburg’s first African-American Councilman, and it would be the first time that an incumbent mayor seeking re-election was unseated. Spring is in the air this week and along with the sunshine, breezes and sounds of farming operations coming...
