Hey Y'all. Our Special this week is a Southern favorite. Would you believe I am from the south and have just tried this for the first time. It was so amazing I had to share.

This recipe is from Southern Living Magazine.

Ingredients</strong>

Dear Editor,

Good on Powell High School for taking a firm stance on cellphones in school.

The new policy approved this year requires students to keep their phones off or on silent throughout the school day. It’s tough, I’m sure opposed by many students and it comes with serious penalties, but for the sake of our students I think it’s the right decision.

There are many Good Samaritans living and working in our community who perform acts of kindness that most people never hear or know about. They go about their daily lives, unknown to others, while making the lives of others just a little brighter.

Whether you’ve been in the Valley for generations or have recently moved here, most everyone is familiar with the booming voice of Loren “Teense” Willford.

Early Tuesday morning, that voice fell silent as Teense passed away.

When we think of Teense, we see a larger than life man with an incredible sense of humor, the well-known resounding voice during parades and events, an entertainer, a veteran and a former legislator.

Dear Editor:

The historically significant town motto: “Where the Trout Leap in Main Street,” attracts more than fishermen to the town and the valley. It is a unique expression of our way of life, where wildlife and nature are not a separate thing “out there,” but an integral part of the community. Other mottos mentioned are dull and ordinary—not unique to our town.
