Story and photo by Diana Zimmerman Linnie Vanwinkle recently purchased Waterway Espresso from Erla Crouse and renamed it Vanwinkle Espresso. She and her husband were working in Williston, North Dakota, when he found the coffee shop listed on Craigslist. "I looked at the pictures and thought, I'm going to check it out," Vanwinkle said. "So I finished up my shift and drove 18 hours. He's still working over there, but I'm staying here now. This is my first business. I've been wanting to do this sin...
9-355-0472 Cell 360-465-2310 Grays River Valley Center has had a very busy couple of months. In April, Commisioneer Mike Backman asked us for one month to keep as best we could a tally, of people using the facility. So we put up sign up sheets in every room, that is used by the public. It was truly exciting at the end of the month, when I started adding up the sign in sheets, for Grays River Valley Community Center. The Gym, Exercise Room, and Activity Room had sign in sheets, but we were not able to monitor as closely as the other rooms....

WILD TO MILD--I hope the crazy weather we had last Thursday will not be repeated soon, as that was certainly something we haven't gone through in some time. We had sunshine, then the clouds came in with the wind, the sky turned black and then "ka-boom." The thunder started to roll, the lightning started to flash and the rains began to pour, which was accompanied by some hail in some places; just wild! SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from May 11-17 are Christeena Bassi, Evan Quigley, Kerrie McNally, Mike Iverson, Hannah Helms, Vicki...

What a lovely place to visit, beautiful gardens with a variety of flowers and trees, but a concentrated effort on lilacs. The old home of Hulda Klager is maintained beautifully with knowledgeable...
