Prospectors,
Mustangs
play at Crane tonight
The Grant High Prospectors
travel to Crane today where
they will meet the Crane High
Mustangs in a basketball con-
test tonight.
The Prospectors edged out
the Crane quintet at the Grant
gym a month ago. Tonight’s
meeting will be tougher for the
Prospectors due to the trip and
playing on a strange floor.
The Grant team will leave
for home immediately follow-
ing the game to be ready for
the Polio benefit affair with
Condon tomorrow (Saturday)
night.

Skeletal remains found near
Mount Vernon by horn hunters
Human skeletal remains were
found by two Grant County horn
hunters last Sunday on public
land approximately eight miles
northwest of Mt. Vernon. Grant
County Sheriff Fred Reusser
investigated and confirmed the
find then contacted the Grant
County Major Crime Team,
including Oregon State Police
detectives and crime laboratory
personnel.
The remains were sent to the
Oregon State Crime Laboratory
in Ontario where identifications
of the remains were made through
review of dental records and con-
firmed to be that of a male. Fur-
ther identification is being with-
held by authorities pending
notifications of next of kin.
Investigation into the matter
continues. Police sources remain
noncommittal on the issue of foul
play and the estimated length of
time the remains had been there.

Today started out
perfectly clear, but
by 1 p.m. it was
perfectly cloudy!

Our meal was in
the perfectly edible
category: Pulled pork sliders, coleslaw, fruit salad and a huge
chocolate chip cookie. Thanks to Tom, Laura B., and Angie
for today’s repast. I, too, like to indulge in having a meal
prepared for me one day a week. I try to plan our meals to
use up all the left-overs by Tuesday night because I don’t have
to cook on Wednesday! Whee!! Now the entree is one that
I have never prepared, and indeed did not know anything
about until the last few years. And I am perfectly happy to
have someone else fix it…. It is really good and I may have
to learn more about it. How’s that for a change of mind?
Helpers today were our faithful Carole, Carla, Carlos, Pam
and Ginger. Thanks again to all who volunteered to make the
meal viable.
Daughter-in-love called from Oregon City and related
her new cooking endeavor. She makes rose petal jelly. But
she needed to make some pectin for it, too. Now I never
heard that you could make our own pectin (not being a very
experienced canner), but people in the Middle East do it all
the time.

Our cooks Terry
Cade and Carrie
Jewell made BBQ
beef sandwiches with
Soo Yukawa
french fries, cole
slaw, and cookies for
dessert for the Tuesday meal. I am sure it was very tasty. I did
not get to partake of that meal for I had to go out of town to
pick up some goats. More on that later.
Our volunteers were Bob Cockrell and Jan Ensign, they
filled out the paperwork and counted the money. Sylvia
Cockrell handed out the meals to the patrons who came to
pick them up at the door. We thank our cooks and we thank
our volunteers for their joint efforts and service.
We have lost quite a bit of our community passing away.
Many of them had suffered from cancer or many years of
health issues. Let us pray for their families and loved ones
during this difficult time.
Praise the Lord we got some more snow on the ground! It
is not by any means like two or three feet of snow, more like
maybe an inch or two, but we’ll take what we can get. Some
days are really beautiful and sunny, which melts the snow and
gets pretty mucky. I feel good about that though for I believe
the moisture is seeping into the ground. I pray that we will
get enough snow intermittently to help the snow pack levels
in the mountains.
And you can find it on YouTube. The only problem is the
directions are not in English. She finally found one site that
did and proceeded to cook. Said she had been saving apple
peels and cores in the freezer for a long time. You have to
have 2 quarts to begin with. Everything turned out OK now
it’s on to the jelly. Something else I have never tried….and
don’t plan to!
I forgot to mention that our meal last week was in memory
of Blaine Kendall. There will be other throughout the year
that will have such a designation, either in honor or in
memory of. This comes about through the Entree Program.
You may donate enough money to enable us to purchase the
entree for a meal and you can name someone to honor that
day. It will be so noted on the menu that we hand out with
the meal.
We finally moved ito the 21st Century and bought a
battery powered pencil sharpener. The one I’ve had since my
Kindergarten teaching days is mounted on a 1x4 board that
you have to put on the floor and put your foot on to hold it
while your hands take care of holding the pencil and twirling
the handle to do the sharpening. We decided that at our age
we could indulge ourselves and purchase something that was
easier to operate. Happy New Year!
So have you tried out Shalom on anyone? Just saying the
word and thinking about its definition seems to bring a
calming sensation to my troubled mind. It also helps to know
the “Prince of Peace.”
II Thessalonians 1:6,7 God is just: He will…give relief to you
who are troubled…

Psalm : 8,9. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to
anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, And His tender
mercies are over all His works.
So, my husband and I went to Prineville to pick up three
goats. I needed some new blood to add to my little herd. I
got two 5 year old nanny goats and one little 10 month old
doeling. I named them Marianne, Ginger, and Elsa. My kids
protested that they did not like the name Elsa. I named the
little one Elsa (after Elsa from the Disney movie, “Frozen”)
because she has blue eyes and her coat is like a splash blue
color. Don’t you think that was a perfect name for her?
Well, then a friend of mine also protested against the name
of Elsa, so I gave in. Her name is now Yuki. So the two
nannies are Marianne and Ginger, and the little one is Yuki.
Yuki is very pretty and I am hoping to get some blue-eyed
babies in the fall from her.
The girls are adjusting to living on our little farm. They are
pretty docile and I think they got trained after about three
days to go into the goat shed for the night. The first night,
the silly girls slept outside and I saw them shaking in the cold
the next morning. They have collars, and I leashed them one
by one and led them into the goat shed and shut the door
with everyone. Yay, that makes our job easier. Hopefully,
they will just go in on their own and we won’t have to shut
them in. I know that Frita is going to have her babies soon. I
hope she does not have triplets. That would put me over the
edge. Ha.
Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the
LORD, and He will have mercy upon him, and to our God for
He will abundantly pardon.
