Lykens ■ Santa arrived at the Lyle Activity Center to a street lined with expectant chil- dren ready to see the Jolly Old Man in the big red suit, who braved the rain and re- mained in his sleigh because of social distancing. The only way he was allowed to connect with the children was by micro- phone. But be assured, he took back to the North Pole and the elves the list he procured from that distance. The love was still there, if not the warmth of his hug that is now deprived. The Twin Bridges Museum had its monthly meeting with the board members abiding to the rules and regulations of masks and distancing. It was good to give congratulations to Richard Keyes when he happily displayed his photo of he and his new bride in their wedding attire ... a mighty handsome couple for sure. The wedding was held in Twin Falls, Idaho, where his bride, Elizabeth Leis, abides. The couple shared their school years here and I understand even attended one of the proms as a couple some odd 66 years ago ... We all wish these childhood sweethearts the very best and happiest years to come. Merry Christmas to all Christians and Happy Hanukah to our Jewish residents. I leave you all with heartfelt wishes that the Year 2021 will bring back our personal freedoms, the enjoyment of fellowship with our family, friends and neighbors and return us to our contented lives. One of my personal notes: Are the days gone when excitement-filled children could sit on Santa’s lap and tell him their most secret wishes that could only be told to him? Not even sit on a chair close to him? This period in time has hit all of us pretty hard, but to allow a most precious childhood memory be jerked away ... it’s just beyond sad. The whole COVID-19 issue is a controversial item right now and has pitted colleagues pitted against each other, but either way you stand I hope you agree that it’s the kids that are hurting the most. No school, no parties, no interaction with friends and neighbors ... their whole social structure has been ac- costed to the point that one can’t blame them for turning to that little hand-held machine where they can connect with their peers. No teacher or out-of-household adults to lead by example, tutor or advise them except through the cold hard screen via the internet. On perhaps a more pos- itive note, during a recent shopping trip I looked up at the highest of our surround- ing mountains and saw a scene what I describe as a “powder sugar dusting on a Bundt cake.” I thoroughly enjoy the snow and its beau- ty but wish it to remain in the higher elevations so those who enjoy the winter sports can drive to it and leave us who do not like driving in it, safe. God made some of His Santa Claus greets children via microphone at Lyle Activity Center. Photos courtesy Lyle Fire Department creations beautiful but very dangerous if we refuse to give them their due respect. So, from a safe distance, I gaze upon the hills and think; Beauty and the Beast. Submit your news to Mildred E. Lykens, 509-365-2273 or lykensme41@Gmail.com. GLENWOOD NEWS Eva Feller honored at her 102nd birthday By Mary Pierce ■ Here we are, nearly into 2021. I’ve heard so many comments that 2020 close out soon enough. It has been a long, hard year, for sure. We hope all who are travel- ing over the holidays have safe journeys and those who are staying home to stay cozy in your homes. Pam Keithley and Kim Thomas, the school cooks, prepared and delivered a delicious Christmas dinner for staff and students on the last day of school before the Christmas break. When two arrived at our house, the first grader and fifth grader had a hard time focusing on the Christmas movie showing on their school computers because the wonderful RECORDS Continued from page 4 Sex offenses: aroma was wafting through the house. The littlest cowgirl here, not quite 2 years old, decided their dinner looked much better than her own lunch, so she shared some of theirs. All the work the staff put in to making that week before break so much fun. There were dress-up days for Spirit Week and Christmas stories on Wednesday night, complete with cocoa and popcorn delivered earlier for all the students to enjoy while they listened to the stories from the comfort of their homes. Now the kids and teachers are on their Christmas/ winter break and we hope they all cram as much fun as they can into that vacation. I know the kids are hoping for snow for playing and snowmobile riding. We would like to wish Eva Feller a very happy birth- day. Eva turned 102 years old on Christmas Eve and is a beloved treasure here in Glenwood. She has lived here in Glenwood all her life except for a brief period in Portland while attending beauty school. Happy birth- day, Eva. We received news that for- mer Glenwood resident Roy Bolt recently passed away at the age of 97. Roy lived in Portland for much of his adult life and is survived by his three children and wife Betty, sister Shirley Burril of Glenwood, brother Jim, and twin sisters Lily and Lillian. He was preceded in death by his parents, son Norman, and sisters Mary Ladiges and Helen Eaton. He was a child of the Bolt and O’Neal pio- neer families (Tye Bolt and Lilivon O’Neal) who came to the Glenwood valley from Virginia. During the Korean war, Roy served as a troop truck driver in the Army. He often visited in Glenwood on Memorial Day weekends to bring flowers to the ceme- tery and catch up with family and friends in Glenwood. We at the Grange greeters ta- ble there always enjoyed his visits. Our condolences go to his sister Shirley and her family and his Ladiges and Eaton nieces and nephews. In a recent phone visit with Shirley Burril, she asked me to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who calls and stops by to visit her and Skip and help when needed. You all know who you are and your kindness and care are greatly appreciated. Glenwood rodeo kids Joslyn and Blaine Arnold and Peyton Sanchey have big reasons to celebrate. They all competed in the Central Washington Ropers and Riders Association (CWRRA) over the summer and fall, with great success. At the CWRRA awards ban- quet last Saturday, Joslyn, a ninth grader at Glenwood High, was honored for achieving first places in the Open Goat Tying category and Youth Breakaway rop- ing. She also placed second in Youth Goat Tying and Novice Breakaway. Blaine, in fifth grade at Glenwood Elementary, placed first in Calf Riding and third in Peewee Goat Tying. Joslyn and Blaine are the children of Bo and Casey Arnold. Peyton Sanchey, daughter of Ryan and Jodi, placed first in the Youth 2D Poles and third in the 3D Barrels. Peyton is in eighth grade at Glenwood Middle School. There were several competitors in each class. Congratulations to all three ropers and riders. Way to represent Glenwood.
