Mother Nature keeps Fraser in limbo
By Norma Brand and Cathy Walker
Mother Nature is keeping the Fraser Community in limbo. She must enjoy seeing the expression on our faces when we wake up to a world of white again and again. The yellow daffodils don’t seem to mind the snow; they give everyone hope that warmer weather will be here soon.
Have you seen the pretty tulips on the advertisement for the Mother’s Day Prime Rib Dinner? This event is a fundraiser for the Fraser Community Center. Tickets for the dinner are available. You have the choice of eating at 4:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. this year. The cost is $12 for adults, $6 for ages 6-12, and 5 years and under is free. Please purchase your tickets before May 5 so the organizers will know how much food to buy.
Rosena and Lanis Aultz enjoyed a visit from their daughter, Emily Condor, over spring break. Emily and her husband, Brian, are attending LCSC in Lewiston. Both their names appeared on the President’s List. They continue to maintain straight A’s in their classes.
The Aultz’s daughter, Lana Finch, her husband, Aaron, and their family also spent several days at the ranch over spring break. Aaron’s two-year mission to Brazil had an influence on the names they chose for their children. Portuguese is the language spoken in Brazil, thus the names Jaci, Quian, Raeli, and Quiara. It snowed while they were at the ranch so the children and their dad went sledding one day and then spent the rest of the time playing inside.
The Brown Family Farm took advantage of the break in the weather and started fertilizing the fields. Donna reported they completed about 500 acres before the weather turned.
Peggy Ball reported that Reggie has started to work on the kitchen cabinets. She has the floors finished and is now painting the trim pieces.
Roseanna Thornton has been baking sourdough bread since she was 14 years old. She gave Steve and Norma Brand a class on Sunday. Steve plans to bake their bread and Roseanna shared her sourdough starter with him and gave him some tips that have worked for her.
She told about visiting her brother on the island of Guam a number of years ago. He requested she bake him some bread. When her efforts failed, she figured out that the air conditioning kept the house so cold she couldn’t get the starter to work. So she washed a load of clothes and shut the door to the laundry room when she put the clothes in the dryer.
The temperature in that room was warm enough to let the dough rise and presto her brother got to enjoy home baked bread. Roseanna’s sourdough bread is exceptionally good; consider yourself lucky if you get a chance to try some. Butter melting on a slice of hot bread is a special treat good enough for queens and kings.
The Timberline School’s Junior Prom “Here’s to the Night” was held on Saturday, April 19, in the gym. The gym was decorated as a night in Paris including the Eiffel Tower. Dinner was included with the price of the prom tickets. Thank you to the many volunteers who provided the students with a delicious dinner. They had the choice of bite size steak with red potatoes or chicken ravioli with French cut green beans and everyone had sparkling apple juice. Pictures were taken before the dance. Music was provided by Jeff Burton who was the D.J. There were 51 students dressed up for this special occasion and at 10 p.m. was the Grand March. After Grand March they enjoyed a chocolate fondue with angel food cake, strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels, and lady fingers for dessert. The students attending the prom voted for the royalty and Josh Stuart was elected Prom King with Tallie Sutton as Prom Queen, Junior Prince was Kaden Jared, and Junior Princess was Tori Cooper. Congratulations.
