REARDAN - Several young men from LincolnCounty served in Spruce Squadrons during World War I, including Reardan men August Mahrt Sr., Gustave Wagner and John Hickenbottom. Most World War I soldiers do not include the Spruce Squadron designation on their tombstones, making them hard to find, so there are probably many more. There were about 19,000 men serving in Washington and Oregon. Wagner learned about the Spruce Squadrons while doing his basic training at what was then...

Note: This is Part 2 of a sermon from July 4, 2021 and is slightly adapted from the original. Second, Jesus has a higher labor and livelihood of His own that He calls us to share in. This is shown to us by Jesus’ interruption of Simon’s work to teach the Word of God, and by His calling of Simon (and James and John) to “catch men.” The Gospel says, “On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on [Jesus] to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen...
Hot weather, when temperatures reach one hundred plus, can slow garden production. Zucchinis seem to be the exception, powering through with regular production, though the skin maybe a little thicker. These hot weather summer squashes are ideal for bread, cake and cookie making, as they are a bit dryer. Garden to Table Cookbook, by Kayla Butts, is a recent addition to my collection. All the recipes are based on items you would grow in a garden or home orchard. Dark Chocolate...

Note: This is Part 1 of a sermon from July 4, 2021 and is slightly adapted from the original. Part 2 will be in next week’s issue of The Record-Times. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen! Today’s Gospel (Luke 5:1-11) is the miraculous catch of fish and the calling of Peter, James, and John as “fishers of men.” It’s not a sermon or a parable but a history, so it does not teach us directly by words of instruction but indirectly by words of example. It has much to teach us, but the main...

DAVENPORT - The small schoolhouse structure seen today outside Lincoln County Museums looks a bit different than it did originally but stands proudly on the museum grounds serving as a window into the past. Its history spans many decades and if it could talk, would tell stories covering over 140 years of local history. The schoolhouse was originally built in Fall 1879 as a homestead cabin by William McRedmond (whose father, Luke, founded the city of Redmond) along with his...

LONG LAKE - Little Falls Dam is now overlooked due to the other larger dams in the area, but in its day Little Falls was a technical wonder. It boasted having the largest turbines in the world, matching the size of the Niagara Falls turbines. It doubled the generating power of the Washington Water Power Company (WWP, now Avista). It was also the most remote of all WWP dams. There was little advance publication of the construction of the dam. The WWP had gotten permission from...
