Wednesday afternoon began a number of bad weather days, with rain freezing to the gravel, as well as making slick highways. Friday’s forecast wasn’t very good for the Dodson commute for basketball or Circle coming here Saturday. From 5 p.m. this afternoon to Sunday 5 a.m., “mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations up to four inches and ice accumulations around a light glaze. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph.” This is according to the Winter Weather Advisory.

Monday brought a snow and Tuesday was foggy all day. Lustre has 27 degrees at 1:40 p.m. and will go up to 34 in the night. The Dodson game was moved ahead to 4:30 p.m. in effort to beat the hazardous weather.

Lustre boys won their games against Frazer and Bainville last weekend. The girls lost both of their matches. Frazer and Bainville are both taller teams. Final score was Bainville 45, Lustre 27.

Starters for the girls’ team were Abby Olfert (captain), Kencia Brown, Grace Brown, Carter Fast and Lauren Holzrichter. Clay Reddig and Bryan Ewing are co-captains for the boys team. Prestyn Klatt, Cam Reddig and Jonslee Pierre finish out the starting line-up.

Arden Unrau, of Enumclow, formerly of Lustre, passed away Saturday morning, Jan. 4, 2025. The celebration of life service will be Feb 1 at 11:00 a.m at the MT Ranier Christian Center, Enumclaw, WA. Arden is a 1965 graduate of LCHS, and farmed in the community with his brothers, Eldon and Gerry, many years. Please keep his wife, Darlene and the girls in your prayers. We extend our condolences to the family.

The LCHS and LGS schools have resumed as of Jan. 5, for second semester. Student leaders are practicing with the pep band, in the absence of a music teacher, needed for both schools.
