HOMETOWN HOMEMADE BROCK’S CRANNY OPENS IN HILLSDALE Healthy living is a family affair Nestled between the shores of Wilson Lake and the flood-carved Potholes, almost at the (north) end of Valley Road, Robert & Katherine Brock found their piece of paradise. It’s the perfect spot for their family to turn their lifestyle into a tidy little business which the Lantern was pleased to visit. “We want to bring something to the community we don’t have here,” said Katherine Brock. “We have been open for a month and every week we see new faces.” The bakery features sourdough, sandwich bread, cinnamon rolls and other such creations. “We keep every-
thing holistic and natural,” Brock said. Eggs and freeze dried fruits and veggies are available, and a few more desserts are in the works. The Cranny also features other Brock family creations they have perfected over the years such as soaps, balms, and salves. “Before it hits the shelves, we’ve been using it for a couple months,” Brock said. Daughter Eileen keeps a variety of greeting cards in stock, as well. Brock’s Cranny is a dealer for Doterra essential oils and Idaho-made Buck Knives. The Brocks left California when Robert retired from the Marine Corps, first settling in St. Maries and Jerome before discovering Hillsdale. “Every aspect of [this] community has been wonderful.” Brock’s Cranny is open for business 10-5 Tues/ Fri/Sat at 674 Valley Road.

TAKE-OFF! HUETTIG TO MAKE TRACKS TO MOSCOW She already knows the school’s fight song! Hillsdale track and field star Lexi Huettig recently inked her commitment to compete at the University of Idaho in a signing ceremony at Valley High School in May. Huettig, who holds a state record for the long jump and recently brought home first-place medals from the state track meet in pole vault, long jump, and triple jump, will compete in all those events for the Vandals. The atmosphere in Moscow made her decision easy. “The coaches are amazing,” she said. “All the kids had something good to say [about the program].” She will study health sciences with plans to launch into a nursing career.
