Reporter's note: Last summer I wrote a story about the World War II-era camps in Harlem and Chinook that temporarily housed German POWs while the prisoners worked the sugar beets. Several readers told me, "You should write about the Japanese detention camp that was in Chinook during the war. That's how the Matsuoka family ended up in Chinook after World War II." While researching local stories I'd never come across any historical references to a Japanese relocation camp in or near Chinook....

I had a mess of shrimp in my freezer that needed to be cooked. So, I got out my recipe for Alfredo Sauce with Shrimp. I must say that this recipe that I found several years ago on the internet is so very simple and probably one of the best Alfredo sauces you will ever eat. First you need about two pound of U 15 shrimp. That will give you 30 shrimp to peel, devein and butterfly. To butterfly, simply make the line where you deveined the shrimp a tad deeper and split the body up about 2 inches from the end. That makes the shrimp appear larger and...
Nurses Week begins this year on May 8th and ends on May 14th. May 8th was designated as National Student Nurse Day, which is celebrated annually now. National School Nurse day is the Wednesday that falls during Nurse Week. In 1953 Dorothy Sutherland of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare sent a proposal to the president, Eisenhower, to proclaim “Nurse Day” in October of the following year. The proclamation however was never made. A bill for a National Nurse week was introduced to Congress in 1955 but nothing became of it. The...
Snow in the month of April, or even May isn't uncommon but the storm that passed through Sunday and Monday was a bit unique. The snow blanketed the landscape bending tree branches to the ground and weighing on power lines across the area. While there were a few trees on the ground power remained supplied throughout the county. An estimated 6-9" of snow fell across the region amounting to 1.5-3" of moisture....

Here’s today’s riddle: “What’s the first thing a guy with a high IQ does when a cement mixer growls its way into his yard?” “He gets out of the way.” The beast has at least eight tires. These you can count; there may be more underneath, out of sight. The ground shakes under the weight of the beast. This particular beast belongs to a big company where somebody likes orange and white. Not only are the reflective rectangles stuck along the side of the flat-bed part of the truck bright orange, but other parts of it are orange as well, as are other...

It is recipe time once again. Here are three ways to make steamed cabbage. All three turn the cabbage into a very different food than the others. One or more just may be hits around your house. First, my mother’s recipe. It is very simple. She was a simple but good cook. This recipe makes for a very traditional and might I say pure steamed cabbage. Core out a medium cabbage and cut it into very fine shreds. Take a medium onion and dice it using a medium to large dice. Put a quarter of a cup of butter or margarine in a heavy frying pan. S...
The wooded lot needed sprucing (joke) up after several years’ neglect of the fallen trees and a record-breaking snowstorm the previous winter. Karl and Hubert are neighbors on a wooded mountainside. Over time, their respective tracts had become littered with fallen branches and dead, fallen trees. They decided to rent a machine that would chew, chomp, and grind up all that debris which was in the way and was a fire hazard but which held the promise of almost unlimited mulch for a new method of gardening which they wanted to initiate on their r...

Each guest had to select from a list of 17 items with Flintstone-related names, list them in one of three courses and hope that the pasta came before the...
