Cheesecake venture sweetens in spite of sour 1980s economy DAINGERFIELD (AP) — An abandoned former downtown hard ware and auto parts store hardly seems an appropriate setting for one of the fastest growing businesses in Morris County. But Laura’s Cheesecakes, a by product of late 1980s Texas eco nomic development efforts in one of the state’s most depressed econ omies, is flourishing beyond every one’s expectations on the strength of combined family recipes used by two Daingerfield natives. Laura and Walter Bass began making their own variety of cheese cakes and selling them in Shreve port, La., Texarkana, Tyler and Longview area restaurants out of their Longview home in 1981. In 1988, when Daingerfield was selected as one of five official Texas Main Street cities by the Texas His torical Commission, the Basses saw an opportunity to shift their cheese cake venture into something more than a hobby that brought in extra income to supplement their regular jobs. Main Street cities are selected an nually on the basis of economic need and city wide commitment to restor ing the original architectural integ rity of downtown buildings. With the help of a local attorney, Steve Cowan, an empty downtown building was refurbished and deco rated in the company’s distinctive pink, hot pink and green color scheme and, two years later, Laura’s Cheesecakes has evolved into a full time business that has grown from four employees to 1 1. . Their cheesecakes shipped to every stale. have been ? No excuses’ runoff voting begins AUSTIN (AP) — The runoff elec tions for statewide offices aren’t un- April 10, but voting already has begun. Balloting under the state’s “no ex cuses” absentee voting law began Monday, with more Democrats than Republicans expected to go to the polls. Democrats are choosing a nomi nee for governor between state Treasurer Ann Richards and Attor ney General Jim Mattox. Officials in the secretary of state’s office said Texans who voted in the Democratic or Republican primary on March 13 must vote in the same party’s runoff. Citizens who didn’t vote in either primary may cast their ballots in either party’s runoff. Runoff races also are being held for legislative nominations and for other offices around the state. Besides the Democratic guberna torial runoff, statewide races being decided on April 10 include: • Democratic state treasurer nominee, between Nikki Van High tower and Tom Bowden. • Democratic Supreme Court justice, Place 2, Ross Sears and Bob Gammage.
