Review of Board Activities The board passed a levy resolution in time for the Aug. 6 levy deadline. The board is in the very early stages of seeking out a potential Parks and Rec. employee for 2020 at approximately five hours per week. The board has received a go-ahead from the City to install dog poo bag dispensers in the park and will begin working on that soon. The July 13 Park and Rec. Day went fairly well. Future events will probably only need to be from 3-6 p.m. and signage and advertisement would be good. Carpenter is looking into...
While nearly all communities depend on volunteerism in some form or another, I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say that small towns like Dayton and Waitsburg would fail to function without the concern and dedication of the many volunteers that help keep them running. Once one begins brainstorming all the volunteer-based organizations, programs and even individuals that take care the many needs in our communities, it’s hard to find an end to the list. It is our local firemen, board, committee and club members, event organizers and “just...

I'm sure I have shared this before, but I didn't see it in my recipe file. A while ago, I accidently deleted my file, then deleted the trash file. Joe was able to retrieve most, but I think some never made it back. First, at this time of year, when dinner comes around, we are hungry, but we want lighter fare and we eat later. So I haven't shared many dinner ideas because what I have been fixing hasn't been any recipes. For instance, today I made a large pasta salad with fake crab, boiled eggs, celery, olives, and cheese. The dressing is a combo...
