Don’t be fooled by this title, because I mean it literally, in that while the origin of the quote associated with the title may be French, the Italians are bringing you Italian cream cake. Er, rather I am bringing you Italian cream cake.
The recipe that follows my drafted ramblings comes from my grandmother. My grandmother Lena made the best Italian cream cake I have ever eaten.

Today’s children and adolescents deal with an array of psychological and emotional stresses that keep them from learning, developing, and achieving at their full potential. The issues are not all dealing with COVID or the effects of social isolation or the learning loss that our children are experiencing.
COVID did not start the rise in our youth needing additional psychological and emotional support, but it did make the problems worse.
The Fort Stockton City Council, at its Jan. 9, 2023 meeting, passed an ordinance that will now allow more bodies to be buried per individual grave, or plot, at East Hill Cemetery. Ordinance 23-100 amends Chapter 7 of the Code of Ordinances, Article III, East Hill Cemetery, to allow for two bodies, or four cremains, to be buried at each plot.
“You have to get consent of all the owners of each plot,” said city attorney Puja Boinpally.
With a mutual aid agreement now in place between Pecos and Terrell Counties to assist with the influx of illegal migrants crossing into Terrell County, Pecos County took defense of the border a step further at the Jan. 9 county commissioner’s meeting.
The court approved the purchase of a K-9 narcotics officer that will be used on patrols in both counties as part of the mutual aid agreement.
With critical playoff positioning on the line on Tuesday, Fort Stockton put forth their best offensive quarter of the season to secure a victory in their first district home game of the season against Pecos (1-13).
The Prowlers netted 27 points in the final quarter of play – their highest total of the season in any eight-minute span – en route to a 45-21 win.
Fort Stockton head coach Lea Daggett emphasized the importance of the victory considering the tier of teams in the Prowlers’ district.
Instilling confidence in his shooters has been front and center of head coach Zack Roberson’s blueprint for the Panthers success this season.
That confidence has helped translate to the emergence of a new top scorer days before the district schedule begins.
Senior Ethan Acosta scored a career-high 21 points in the Panthers 51-38 win at Van Horn on Jan. 6 to close out regular season non-district play.
