Hope you all had a nice weekend and a nice Valentine’s Day with your loved ones.  Weather wasn’t too bad.  Did have some heavy rain on Tuesday, with the temperatures in the 40’s; had a snowstorm on Thursday that put down 7-10 inches of snow and the wind blew the snow into drifts that measured 16 inches in places.  As I write my news on Sunday evening, we had some good rain and some sleety rain during the day; don’t know what’s coming over night, but someone said another storm.  Have to wait and see.  There was enough snow after Thursday’s storm to go tobogganing on the hill across the street.  Kids and their Dad had fun doing that.  By Sunday the snow was mostly gone because of the rain.

Sympathy from the community to the family, relatives and many, many friends of Mrs. Lucy Sick who recently passed away.  She was a joy to know; she had an awesome smile and was a many talented lady.  She will be missed.   Funeral will be held Saturday from St. Basil’s Church with Rev. Carr, Rev. McLaughlin and Rev. Rojas.

Winter Fest will be this weekend at Camp Brule.  Check the Sully for details and see what might interest you.  Also, to check for other events that may be going on.
