McKinley Longhurst, daughter of Candy and Sheldon Longhurst, has made a big decision and is now engaged to Skylar Stevens, son of Steve and Jamie Stevens. This decision has been a long time in coming because McKinley is very determined about her educational goals.
One of Mink Creek’s young ladies participated on the PHS girls soccer team that recently became the 4A State Champions. Ella Jepsen is the daughter of Melinda an Kerry Jepsen.
The LDS Ward Relief Society has done some changing in the presidency. Counselors responsibilities are now Cindy Hanson with education and technology, Phee Crosland with activities. An activity is in the works at the present time. Kim Christensen is the President.
Mink Creek has a new baby! Annavelyn and Jesse Wilcox are happy to announce the arrival of a healthy little boy on Oct 23, weighing in at 7lb. 4 oz, with a thatch of hair. He is the first child for the Wilcox’s. The trio is home in Mink Creek and making the adjustments that come with parenthood and families. According to Jesse all are doing "spectacular.”
Russell Westerberg was here for a visit with his brother, Terry and Wendy Westerberg. His mode of arrival was a little unusual in these sloping side-hills. He flew in, landing in one of the fields near the Westerberg home in what they laughingly called the Station Creek Air service.
Our countryside provides for crunching hikes. It is dry and the leaves have been sailing down in the winds. We have a mixture of oranges, yellows, browns, greens, even some purple to trod underfoot whatever direction might be chosen.
Due to the strange restrictions that the world is enduring in 2020 our village canceled its usual Fall closing social and the costume parade that takes place on that evening. This is one more reminder that each little glitch that happens in our lives must be dealt with separately. So many things we take for granted.
Election Day, hope everyone reading this has voted—whether by absentee, or by mail or in person. It is a privilege we need to use, then no matter the outcome, do what we can to unify our nation, not cause more chaos and grief. The polls in our village were open at 8am and just now are wrapping it up, nearly 8 pm. It is a long day for those poll workers, I write from experience, having done it for years. Giving that service is one of responsibility that the laws are followed, that all who want the opportunity are given that chance. They go home tired, but satisfied.
