Cool treats for hot days June 03 2021
Ohana Shack, a new concession trailer will provide cold goodies for swimmers this summer, and will be conveniently located by the Prinevile public pool
What can be better than an icy treat or ice cream on a hot day after a dip in the pool?
Local swimmers will have access to such treats this swim season and can expect to find a new concession trailer on the grounds by the pool on opening day, June 11.
Ohana Shack will be offering hard ice cream, shaved ice, some cotton candy periodically, and some bottled beverages. With their shaved ice, they have a traditional, Hawaiian way to serve it, which includes a scoop of ice cream on the bottom, shaved ice on the top, flavoring on top with sweetened condensed cream to top it off.
New school board member elected
Ruthie McKenzie holds on to parks board seat after facing challenger Joe Becker
Local voters determined who would serve on multiple special district boards in Crook County during last Tuesday s election.
Most candidates ran unopposed, although two people were vying for a single spot on the Crook County Parks and Recreation District Board. Joe Becker was running against incumbent Ruthie McKenzie, who ended up winning another term with 52.89% of the vote. Other incumbents retaining their seats on the parks district board included Darlene Henderson and Barbara Punch.
Two incumbents, Scott Cooper and Gwen Carr, won another term on the Crook County School Board, but the board will gain one new member. Jessica Ritter ran unopposed to fill a vacancy left when Walt Wagner resigned from his position in March.
