I agree with Michael Shannon’s comment that risotto can be a pain in the you-know-what. Once you start cooking the risotto, you must stir constantly. However, I can testify that the effort is so worth it. If there had been any leftovers, I would have smuggled them home in my purse.

I CANNOT EXPRESS how refreshing it is to have schoolchildren visit us again! We had Baker Elementary’s third and fourth grades visit us on Tuesday, April 6. Then, later that week, Lefors Elementary’s third, fourth, and fifth grades visited both the museum and The Citadelle on Friday, April 9. We have a few more school visits scheduled for the rest of the school year, and we couldn’t be happier!

A pair of Canadian golfers will try and make their mark at the upcoming Region 1-3A Golf Tournament set for the Shady Oaks Golf Course in Baird starting Monday. Junior Briley Merket and sophomore Ben Bryant each punched tickets to Regional by qualifying as individuals at last month’s District 1-3A Golf Tournament.

The Canadian Lady Cats are still looking for their first district win on the year after coming up short to Bushland and River Road over the past week. Canadian fell to District 1-3A leader Bushland at home 21-0, last Saturday, and then let River Road build an early lead before trying to rally in a 19-8 loss Tuesday afternoon.
