The youth of the Mink Creek LDS
Ward enjoyed a combined activity with lots of action and enthusiasm. Brooke Corbett was in charge and took a page
from the TV show Minit to Winit in providing entertainment for the evening. It turned out to be lots of fun, you might
say, “a good time was had by all.”
Shane and Alyna Graham and boys
have moved to Preston. We hope they return for community
celebrations. The Graham sons are
getting involved in activities in town and the constant back and forth driving
will be a thing of the past.
Pinewood Derby, a roaring event for Cub Scouts, was
decorated with racing flags and banners.
Kurt Iverson and Eldon Wilcox weighed each handcrafted vehicle to make
sure they qualified. Cars were displayed
on a special table prepared by Katiana Baird. The track was in perfect
condition for the thirteen boys to race.
Race they did, over and over, with cheers and applause. Sharla McKay was the track boss, with Pedro
Gomez and Ben Keller the line judges.
Scorekeeper was Lin McKay and everyone won in the Pinewood Derby. Each racer was awarded a certificate. Cubmaster Dawnell Greene and her assistant,
James Baird, kept the enthusiasm high.
Part of the Pack meeting was the
receiving of awards, beads and advancements for boys in the Cub Pack. The Bears, under the direction of Ivan and
Lana McCracken, displayed soap sculptures they had created. Refreshments of cookies, always a favorite,
finished off the night.
Jim Call, past resident of Mink
Creek, is celebrating his 80th birthday this spring. His family had an open house on April 20th
for all friends and relatives in Perry,
UT, where Verdell and Jim Call
now reside.
Two children of the Kerry and
Melinda Jepsen family met milestones in
their lives recently. Their son Clay was
ordained to the office of a Teacher.
Daughter Tera received her certificate of graduation from Primary and
the Faith in God award.
Tammy and
Nelson Coleman’s house was full of family recently. Tammy’s parents, Ray and Ila Rae Van Vleet
drove over from Grace, ID.
Danny and Nicki Coleman and their baby were here visiting at the same
time. The Van Vleet Great Grandparents
just couldn’t resist coming to see that youngster.
Terry
Stromberg has made the spring move to Mink Creek, joining her husband Bryce
just a week or two after he arrived from their home in California.
The skies
have stayed on the gloomy side for the most part of the last week. Today was bright and full of cold
sunshine. One thing about this
weather—it is definitely a deterrent to cases of spring fever. Even the daffodils and the pansies are having
a struggle showing their happy faces.
If you get
the printed Citizen you will already know this, but just in case you don’t…
Wynn Costley is retiring from the Preston School District
this year. He is currently working as
principal of both the alternative Franklin
County High
School and the Pioneer
Elementary School. His wife, Cecelie has applied for, and been
accepted, to teach English in China. So the Costley’s will soon be bound for the
Orient. Exciting prospects! They have had some Chinese experience through
their children who have served there on missions and later been employed in China.
