The life and times of Betty Crocker
Long before there was Martha Stewart there was Betty Crocker. In 1950, Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book was released. To date it has sold more than 75 million copies. Betty Crocker wasn’t a real person. She was created in 1921 by a flour company, but that didn’t stop her from becoming an advisor to American cooks. Her popularity continue. Historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., will present an illustrated lecture at 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 10, via Zoom, to tell how Betty Crocker was invented and how she has endured through the years. Goddard holds a PH.D. from Northwestern University and master’s degrees in museum studies and in theater. She has been lecturing and performing on topics in history for more than 15 years. As a lifelong resident of the Chicago area she has written two books on Chicago history. The presentation is open to the public and free of cost to attend. Registration is required.

ANGOLA â Shawnee Construction will be doing the second roofing project at the Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County after the library board awarded the Fort Wayne-based company the bid on Monday.
Shawnee was the only bidder for the roofing project, which had an estimated price of $270,000. The actual bid came in at $319,640.
âWe didnât know what the materials cost would do, so this number didnât surprise me, nor did the single bidder since we already had a project going with Shawnee,â said Sonya Dintaman, director at the Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County.
The company is already doing one roofing project for the building and will ease into the second one once the first is completed.
ANGOLA âIt can get a little noisy and dusty these days at the Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County as renovation work continues.
Renovations in the basement are coming along well, and Director Sonya Dintaman said they anticipate the construction portion of the work to be done sometime in May.
The project, which was started last fall, includes three new meeting rooms with partitions that can make the space one large room, capable of accommodating around 150 people. Also in the project is the construction of two smaller meeting rooms, lounge space, a study lounge, updated restrooms and a secure storage area.
