The Lovell Chronicle:
Members of the sales
force of the Roney Sales and
Service garage of Lovell re-
ceived a $25 bonus for sell-
ing the largest amount of
winter accessories for cars
of any agency of like size
and classification in the
United States. All Chev-
rolet dealers were entered
in the competition, and it
seems quite an honor for a
local firm to win over deal-
ers in much larger cities.

Byron school officials
are presently trying to find
a way to alter plans for the
new school construction by
$86,000. They found that
modifications would have
to be made to the present
plans following a Dec. 14
opening of bids. The new
building is to contain seven
classrooms, a band room,
auditorium and swimming
pool. The total amount of
the three low bids came to
$486,148.

Slick Lovell streets and
drivers not adhering to the
laws of physics have pro-
duced multiple "fender-
bender" accidents around
town in the past week, ac-
cording to Lovell Police
Chief Dave Wilcock. "The
week of the first storm, we
saw very little in the way of
accidents. But as the holi-
day season has progressed,
so have the accidents." Wil-
cock said. He noted that
six accidents have occurred
round Lovell in the past
week, with several citations
being issued.

I hope everyone had a
wonderful Christmas this
year. Like other surround-
ing towns, Byron woke up
Christmas morning to a
beautiful coat of frost out-
side. This is the kind of
frost that is full of texture
and intricacy as it settles
on every branch of a tree,
blade of grass, and even
makes the weeds look stun-
ning. I stepped outside just
as the sun was rising over
the water tower, and the
slight shade of pink in the
sunrise combined with the
frost truly created the look
of a winter wonderland.
As the day progressed
and piles of empty boxes
and other trash began to
amass, I felt sympathy for
our solid waste employees
knowing that, if my house is
representative of anything,
they will have their work
cut out for them on garbage
day. People not from Byron
may smile when they hear
us talk about the great gar-
bage service we enjoy here,
but it really is true. They
haul off almost anything
we ask of them, and do it
without complaint. Out
of curiosity I visited with
Jack Hessenthaler about
the disposal of Christmas
trees. He told me if peo-
ple want their tree recy-
cled they can take it to the
concrete dividers on North
Pryor Street. Otherwise, it
can be taken to the front
of your property and they
will take it away.
Last week I report-
ed on the visit of the Cor-
dova's son, Charlie. This
week they were happy to
have their other son, Clin-
ton, home on leave from
his military service. Clin-
ton serves in the Army
and has been stationed in

The college students
who were high school stu-
dents just a few years ago
returned to their families
for the Christmas holiday
and the New Year approach-
ing. Many families had
gatherings in large groups
to eat, love and spend time
with one another. Before
we know it the schools will
open for class and a new
year will be upon us. The
second semester will be-
gin and relatives, friends
and travelers will return to
their respective lives. This
holiday has been wonderful
so far. Then on to 2011 and
a new year begins.
Tuesday, Dec. 21, was
a joyous day for the Allred
and Winters family. Steph-
anie Allred, daughter of Mi-
chael and Carmen Allred
of Cowley, and Scott Work-
man Winters, son of Nor-
man and Marla Winters of
Burlington, were married
in the Billings LDS Temple
and that evening a recep-
tion was held in the cultur-
al hall of the Cowley LDS
Church from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Though it was a very
cold evening, the cultural
hall was filled to capacity as
relatives, friends and loved
ones celebrated the union
of this young couple. Car-
men's sister, Sylvia Bowles
of Orem, Utah, attended
the occasion and then she
flew to Argentina to visit
her parents. Many friends
and relatives of the Allred
and Winters families were
in town for the occasion.
Stephanie was beauti-
ful in her white "mermaid"
satin wedding gown, cov-
ered in sequins through the
bodice and train and chiffon
over the satin. Her brides-
maids were her sisters Ra-
chel and Jessica in gorgeous
blue satin dresses with
brown sashes around the
waist and lovely corsages.
The groom and his grooms-
men, Cliff Winters and Da-
vid Allred, were dressed in
navy suits and boutonnieres
and looked handsome and
cheerful. Stephanie's young
brother, Jonathan, dressed
in his navy striped suit,
sat in the front room as the
guests signed their names
and brought their gifts.
Scott and Stephanie's
colors were navy blue and
brown and the tables were
decorated with blue cloths
and brown coverings. Tru-
dy Workman of Lovell made
their cake and it was three-
tiered on posts with blue
and navy decorations. Car-
men made her famous Ar-
gentinean cookies and hot
chocolate was served with
mints and various condi-
ments. One lovely sight was
the blue satin quilt made by
Stephanie's grandmother,
Karma.
Scott and Stephanie
Colorado. He is scheduled
to be deployed to Afghani-
stan most likely in May or
June.
The Byron Rec Dept.
met just before Christmas
for children to enjoy time
creating gingerbread hous-
es. In addition, each child
received a stuffed animal
to take home.
Bob and Sandy Mes-
sick have their son, Ryan,
with wife Amber and their
two children visiting. They
are here from the Atlanta
area where Ryan is a prac-
ticing surgical physician's
assistant in a vascular
clinic. In the clinic where
Ryan works they perform
procedures like bypasses
in the legs or putting in a
main line for dialysis pa-
tients. The blood vessels
of the body as a whole are
what are referred to as the
vascular system. Amber is
the daughter of Sue Abra-
will live in Powell and at-
tend Northwest College for
a semester. Scott is major-
ing in human biology and
Stephanie is taking curric-
ulum classes before decid-
ing on a major. Congratula-
tions and may peace, health
and love attend you as you
begin your lives together.
Last Friday in the Bill-
ings Gazette there was an
article titled "Organization
seeks VA cash for home-
lessness" written by Cindy
Uken. The article includ-
ed the fact that Montana
could receive up to $1 mil-
lion to help veterans and
their families on the brink
of becoming homeless. It is
quite a long article, but the
reader noticed a picture of
a familiar face who is An-
thony Snell, the coordina-
tor for the Healthcare for
Homeless Veterans Pro-
gram. Anthony is the son of
former resident Bill Snell,
who grew up in Cowley
with his brothers and sis-
ters and his parents. Bill is
the son of the late Jay and
Frieda Snell and grew up
in a big house where Linda
and the late LeRoy Parker
now live. The original home
the Snells lived in was de-
stroyed by fire.
There are an estimat-
ed 108,000 veterans in
Montana and about 550
of them are homeless, ac-
cording to a survey admin-
istered in January of 2010
by the Montana Continuum
of Care Coalition. This De-
partment of Veterans Af-
fairs introduced a $50 mil-
lion homeless prevention
program. It is the first time
the VA will pay for services
for spouses and children of
veterans at imminent risk.
Snell said the VA is
now taking applications
from private nonprofit or-
ganizations and consumer
cooperatives interested in
providing the needed ser-
vices. With funding, com-
munity organizations
could better provide coun-
seling training, education
assistance, limited finan-
cial assistance, transporta-
tion, child care, rent, utili-
ties and other services to
participating veterans and
family members.
This organization for
our veterans and their fam-
ilies should be a reminder
of those who have served
our country and their fami-
lies, and help provide a new
life for many people. The
VA has founded a Nation-
al Call Center for veterans
who are homeless or at risk
of becoming homeless. It
provides free, 24/7 access to
trained counselors. Veter-
ans may call 877-4AID VET
(877-424-3838).
We are proud of Antho-
ny Snell, who lives in Hel-
ena and has roots running
deep in our small communi-
ty. Good work!

This time of year a fa-
miliar sight around Byron
is the many flocks of geese
to be seen flying overhead.
Last week I looked out my
kitchen window and saw
one of the largest groups of
geese in my neighbor Tom
L angston's field that I have
ever seen before. There
were several hundred
feeding on what I assume
were oats planted there as
a cover crop for next year's
alfalfa. I clearly lacked the
stealth needed to get very
near the geese since in my
efforts to obtain a close-up
photo I eventually scared
them off. The sound of
that many birds taking
off together however was
amazing. The whole expe-
rience was another small
reminder of why I love liv-
ing in Byron.
