Gerri and DAJ, hope you enjoy the book. I just received your order in the mail today, DAJ, and I'll send it out on Monday. Thanks for the orders, everyone. I received a purchase order from a local bookstore for 20 books today. One-fifth of the total # of copies are already gone so I'm thrilled. Thank you for your support! For those Pike Countians who are looking for it...so far the book is only at Fill Zone on the four-lane at South Mayo Trail.

He was named for my Dad (Paul) and Carl's Dad (David). His name is Paul David. David will be 25 in Sept.

1 cup butterscotch chips
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow cr�me
� teaspoon almond extract
� teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts

Line a 13-in x 9-in x 9-in pan with foil and grease the foil with 1-1/2 teaspoons of butter; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, melt the remaining butter over low heat. Add the next five ingredients. Cook and stir constantly until smooth. Remove form the heat; stir in the butterscotch chips, marshmallow cr�me and extracts until well blended. Stir in nuts.
Spread into prepared pan. Refrigerate until set. Lift out of pan and remove foil; cut into squares. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: about 4 � pounds.

ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Judge orders gag order.........

by Gerri

It looks like the student brawl at Shelby Valley High School last Monday has gotten a life of its own. Not only has it continued in this paper, but it has also made the national news system. I�ve had reports it�s been on CNN, Paul Harvey News and even CBS.
With all this coverage, District Judge Darrel Mullins has put a gag order for all to keep quiet about it. That makes our job a little harder, but we�ll get the news for you one way or another.
