I use the freshest ingredients
possible when cooking for my
family. I try to steer clear of
prepared foods as they usually
contain preservatives and chemi-
cals. A friend of mine said, “If
your child can’t pronounce the
ingredient, you probably don’t
need to be eating it.” That may
not be too far off, but I prefer to
consider it as eating closer to the
field or the source.
I’ve really been looking
forward to making an enchi-
lada casserole and can’t imagine
serving it without fresh salsa.
Unfortunately, my tomato crop
is behind. They are big, but they
are still too green. So I picked
some up at the farmers’ market
- at least it’s close to the field if
not my own.
This easy salsa recipe is a
winner with chips or served with
a meal. Start by preheating your
oven to 415 degrees. Quarter
about 8 medium-sized tomatoes,
2 medium-sized onions and 3
jalapeno peppers. Spread over a
baking sheet and add 4 chopped
garlic gloves and salt and pep-
per.
Drizzle olive oil over all and
PEOPLES TELEPHONE
stir until everything is coated.
Place in the oven and roast for
20 minutes. Take the pan out of
the oven and stir the ingredients
again to ensure even cooking.
Put back in the oven for 15 min-
utes more.
Remove pan from oven and
let cool while you chop fresh
cilantro and juice a lemon. Pull
out the food processor and scoop
the cooled roasted vegetables
into it. It is important to let the
vegetables cool until they can
be easily handled - do not pro-
cess hot ingredients. Pulse a few
times. I like for the vegetables to
be recognizeable, but continue
to pulse until everything is well
incorporated and it has a good
consistency for salsa.
Pour into a serving bowl, add
cilantro, lemon juice and any
salt or pepper that is needed.
Note - the last time I made this
salsa, the jalapenos were incred-
ibly hot. They overpowered the
tomatoes. I added a 15-oz. can
of petite diced tomatoes, since I
didn’t have any more fresh ones.
They balanced out the heat and
looked appealing too.

serole recipe.
Things in the community are
kinda slow this time of year.
Seems like with school out and
people going on vacations, there
just isn’t as much news as nor-
mal.
June 10-11 was the school
reunion for the classes of 1979-
1987. I heard that several folks
who hadn’t been in M.G. in quite
a while showed up and everyone
had a good time.
Last Saturday, Oma Lea
Nelson hosted a class reunion
in the school’s cafeteria for her
son, Edgar Franks. It was for
his homecoming from teaching
school overseas. I heard that
everyone had a really nice time
visiting and eating lots of good
food.
Saturday I went with my twin
aunts (Mary Smith and Margaret
Ragan) to meet a cousin (Kenneth
Millsap) who was visiting family
in Sulphur Springs. He lives in
California and our family hadn’t
seen him in about 50 years. So
it was nice to catch up with him
and meet his wife. They were so
nice and personable. I think we
all had a good time reuniting.
Faye Tipps has had company
lately. Our friend, Johnnie Long,
came down to visit. She lives in
the Bonham area.

garet (Darrow) Cain (57).

Courtney Allred and Shelby
Allred of Alba-Golden ISD and
David Shirley and Samantha
Dodgen of Yantis ISD were rec-
ognized and awarded.
Recipients were chosen based
on academic achievements, lead-
ership skills and honors received
as well as volunteer experience
and community involvement.
The scholarships can be used
for any educational institution
of higher learning, including
junior college, college, universi-
ty and/or technical or vocational
school.
In the time before Hwy. 19
was built, the road from Emory
(Hwy. 69) to Sulphur Springs
(Hwy. 67) was a dirt road cross-
ing Lake Fork and the Garrett
Creek bottoms with a concrete
slab on each. The bottom land
was about 10 feet wide and sev-
eral hundred yards long with
red clay hills on each end. This
was before any flood control
was in practice. So when we
had an overflow (that’s what we
called it when the creeks got out
over the bottom land), it might
stay out for sometimes two days.
Needless to say, traffic came to a
standstill.
One morning after a big rain
up toward Cumby and Brashear,
I saw George ride across Gar-
rett Creek bottom on horse-
back. He took the fork and went
towards Freedom and was gone

Stewart/Green wed in
outdoor ceremony
NICHOLE AND SETH GREEN
Seth Green and Nichole Stew-
art exchanged wedding vows
May 18 in a beautiful outdoor,
vintage setting at the residence
of Brandon and Britney Pitre,
brother-in-law and sister of the
bride.
The bride is the daughter of
Greg and Becky Connaughton of
Emory and the late David Stew-
art of Sulphur Springs.
The groom is the son of Carol
Green of Grand Prairie and Don
Green of Dallas.
Presented in marriage by
her son, Kyle Evans, the bride
walked down the aisle to the
song, “Marry Me.”
Kadince Green, daughter of
the groom, was Maid of Honor.
Logan Green, son of the
groom, served his father as Best
Man.
Bro. Eddgie Clements, uncle
of the bride, performed the cer-
emoney.
Following a full dinner recep-
tion, the couple enjoyed a hon-
eymoon trip to Orange Beach,
Alabama.
The newlyweds will reside in
Emory.
Leshe’s 60th Anniversary
for maybe two hours or longer.
When he came back, he was
driving a group of cows - prob-
ably 10-12 cows and calves of
all denominations.
The water had risen and cov-
ered the whole bottom including
the road and all cover-crop land.
I was already on a horse and
went to see what George was
gonna do now.
There must have been an
older cow in the group with a
homing instinct that had made
the trip before. For with the
guidance of George, they just
took to the water and followed
the road even though there was
no fence and the road was not
visible except for some weeds
growing beside the slab.
The water was very swift
and there was a small dog with
George that could not wade
very deep. It kept getting swept
downstream and swimming for
dear life. As they got closer to
the creek channel, the water was
deeper and swifter.
This dog was a little blue-gray
dog with long hair and it was
getting very tired. While doing
the dog-paddle for real, George
reached down and picked him
up and set him behind him on
the horse. Now this was a tricky
rescue and it was obvious it was
appreciated. As they went on
across the creek, I don’t think
that little dog could have been
pried off with a crowbar.
There was a banister on the
creek bridge which helped the
stock find the bridge. I remem-
ber that smug expression on that
little dog that said, “Look how
important I am!”
WAYNE AND PATSY LESHE
