It comes from Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book, 1979 edition. Golden Carrot Cookies 1 cup shortening, or (part butter or margarine) 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 cup mashed cooked carrots...
Members of the Odessa High School FFA chapter took a field trip to the farm of Jeff and Heather Melcher this past Monday, where they learned how to butcher a beef. It was an opportunity to expose the members to another kind of agricultural career. All members helped bone-out, grind and wrap the beef. They also learned where the different cuts of meat are located on the animal. For some, this was a totally new adventure, while others were old hands at it. At the end of this...

The past week, our country lost an icon. Unless you live in Ohio, where he was a senator, you probably knew John Glenn as the first American to orbit the earth. In 1998, he also became the oldest person ever to travel into space. The death of this famous astronaut brings our imaginations back to the great space race of the 1950s and 60s. Many children grew up wanting to be astronauts - to blast off into space, to orbit the earth, even to walk on the moon. However, the country...

Editor's note: Titan football head coach Jeff Nelson submitted his thoughts and perceptions of the December 3 championship game in the Tacoma Dome. See last week's paper for the game coverage article. Overall, we got off to a really poor start. I think some our players were a little overwhelmed by playing in the Tacoma Dome and playing for a state championship. Throughout most of the first quarter and early into the second we made too many mental and physical mistakes to compete with a quality team like Neah Bay. Eventually,...
