Welcome to 2017. Don't know where 2016 went, but it surely seemed to fly by fast. Maybe it's because I'm getting old and slow! The weather has been really cold lately. I hope most of you survived and didn't have frozen pipes. We weren't so lucky at the Community Hall, and we're still waiting on a plumber to come fix the broken pipes.
Hopefully this week we will get everything taken care of.

We have now entered the second month of the wrestling season with the Eagles jump starting 2017 with a nice showing in Lamar. We had three placers and scored 59 points, putting us in 13th place out of 19 teams. Not too shabby for only 4 wrestlers on the team.
Terry and Areta Laird of Eads are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Shalyn Lea Laird, to Keith Edward Smith, son of Richard and Sharma Smith of Greeley.
After a week of mostly sub-freezing temperatures, the coming week will be much warmer – but it may not last.
Sunday’s predicted high in the mid-40s marks the first time the temperature has been above freezing since last Tuesday. The overnight low will fall to the lower 20s.
An unseasonably warm Monday is expected to have a high approaching 60 before falling to the upper 20s overnight.
Temperatures gradually fall off Tuesday and Wednesday as the high reaches the low 50s and overnight lows dip to the low 20s.

Extreme Skiing Mixed with Extreme Conditions Warrant Extreme Preparedness. Per the National Ski Patrol, the growing interest in free skiing and riding is pushing more skiers and snowboarders to venture outside of ski area boundaries in search of perfect powder. However beautiful the back country may be, those pristine slopes come with multiple risks, and one of the most significant is the risk of avalanche.

“Tell you kids what,” he said, sitting down and cutting off their escape route, “there’s more to lifetimin’ than jest gettin’ married, makin’ a buncha money and bein’ a success. Yessir.”
The kids had made the mistake of leaving the ice cream parlor by the side door instead of the front door, you see, and before they had a chance to yell “Incoming!” why … there he was … Windy Wilson. Some folks, you see, can’t live without food and water. Windy can’t live without an audience.
