Agenda for 2010
Posted by Backroadsnews on Dec 31, 2009 in Uncategorized
I just received the agenda for Monday’s Washington City Council meeting and it got me thinking. This is the time of year for looking forward and making resolutions. What would you like your local governing body to work on in 2010?
And I’m not talking just economic development efforts, I’m talking about potholes that need to [...]
New year, new resolutions
Posted by Backroadsnews on Dec 30, 2009 in Uncategorized
I always enjoy making a list of new year’s resolutions, even though I usually break them within the month, or the week, or the first day…
Anyway, have you or anyone you’ve heard of, ever made a list of resolutions and been able to commit to the resolution as a new habit/lifestyle, rather than struggling with [...]

Posted by Backroadsnews on Dec 23, 2009 in Uncategorized
If the forecast winter weather causes some closings, cancellations or postponements, feel free to post them here. It doesn’t sound like it will be quite as bad as it was forecast a few days ago, but we should still expect a white Christmas.

Your best Christmas present EVER!

On a lighter note, what is the best Christmas gift you ever received as a kid. Try to limit your timeline to the time when you were maybe five years old to 12 years old. I think those are the most magical years for kids for Christmas.
Was it a puppy? Or your first Atari 2600 [...]

Origins of your political affiliation
Posted by Backroadsnews on Dec 21, 2009 in Uncategorized
I should’ve moved this discussion to its own post earlier, but it took off too fast and I’m unable to move comments. Anyway, Brad Owen posted this so I thought this would be a great chance to start a new post thread.
I have been reading with some interest Leon and Dawn’s comments regarding political party [...]

Christmas recipe favorites
Posted by Backroadsnews on Dec 17, 2009 in Uncategorized
There have been several requests for Christmas recipes. Do you have a favorite snack/appetizer or menu item that has been a tradition in your family for which you’d like to share the recipe?
Or is there something you’d like to try but can’t find a recipe?
Maybe your family favorite will become a traditional snack for another [...]
