"I was 21 years old and had my

10-month baby daughter with me when we were

stranded on the railroad in a blizzard," said Marj

Halvorson.

Marj and her husband boarded the

Union Pacific train in Grand Island, Nebraska, on

January 2, 1949 for a trip to Casper where the

newlyweds were making their home. They had spent Christmas 1948 with family in

their hometown of Fairbury, Nebraska.

"It started to snow before the train left the station in Grand Island," said Marj.

"While en route the wheels froze up and the train couldn't go."

Travelers and crew tried to defrost the train's wheels with blowtorches.

Travelers were stranded on the train for over two days. The train eventually made it to

Seneca, Nebraska before being stopped again by the blizzard.

"There was a cafe not far from the depot," said Marj. "The snow was as high as

the train."

Union Pacific paid for travelers to eat at the café. A skier from Canada who was

traveling with the group took bedding from the Pullman car for makeshift beds set up

on the floor of the cafe.

The travelers were stranded in Seneca for six days. The young family managed

to walk to a nearby hotel where a room was set up for them.

"We had a sink in our room and shared a bathroom down the hall with other

travelers," said Marj. "That was typical for the times."

Telephone and telegraph lines were down. Eventually the lines were brought

back up. Marge's husband managed to contact his employer, Modern Electric, in

Casper who notified the Casper depot with first news of the travelers.

The eastbound tracks eventually cleared for the train to move and travelers

headed back to Nebraska.

"We had to go back east to Lincoln, then back to Grand Island," said Marj.

"Then we could start making it back to Casper." Ten days after starting their overnight

trip home, the family made it to Casper.

Parts of Nebraska and Wyoming received more than 100 inches of snow and

areas reporting drifts of 30 feet that didn't melt until June.

Footnote: January 2, 2014 marks the 65th anniversary of the beginning of the Blizzard of 1949.

Spotlight on Volunteers: Power Lunchers by Nancy McKenzie, Director of Volunteer Services and Shirley Knisley, Coordinator of Home-Delivered Meals

The Senior Center is grateful to the many

volunteers who deliver an average of 4,000 meals a

month within the Sheridan community. This

important service would not be possible without our

amazing volunteers!

We would like to take this opportunity to give

special recognition to the following businesses and

organizations who have dedicated staff members

for the Home Delivered Meals

program for over 10 years!

Hammer Chevrolet

Captain Clean

Top Office

First Interstate Bank

Volunteers of America

Sheridan Rotary

Burns Industries

We also give special thanks and recognition to:

Sheridan YMCA

Easter Seals

State Farm Insurance Bill Phillips

State Farm Insurance Renate Smith

RENEW

Sugarland Ridge

Sheridan Manor

Sheridan Jaycees

Stifel Investments

Spring Creek School

We appreciate that many of these volunteers

forfeit their lunch hours to feed others; not only

providing an individual living at home a nutritious

meal ~ the volunteer may be the only person an

individual living alone may see that day.

Thank YOU all so very MUCH !!

Fast Forward -

The Sheridan Senior Center’s Board of

Directors, staff, and community partners are

currently in the middle of two significant and

exciting projects that look into the future to

evaluate what and how we deliver services and

supports to the people in our communities. The

first is a public transportation study funded

through the Wyoming Department of

Transportation (WYDOT), the City of Sheridan,

and Sheridan County. This assessment is looking at public transportation

needs, how we will best make use of the resources we currently have at

our disposal, and how we can increase the capacity for “getting around”

as we move forward.

The second project is an assessment of the Senior Center’s facilities

and what we need to have in terms of space to serve the community in

the next 10, 20, and 30 years. TSP, inc. is the architectural firm we are

working with to identify how we are going to accommodate the increasing

number of people who access our services. This is funded through a

planning only grant through the Wyoming Business Council and WYDOT.

You will soon be hearing more about both of these studies as we

quickly wrap up this look into the future so we are able to grow and

develop to best serve you.

The ‘new’ concept of choosing foods from as local

a source as possible is old hat to our elders. In fact,

less than 70 years ago, most of the food consumed in

Sheridan County came from a local source.

Many people are now trying to go back to this way

of eating because eating locally produced foods

improves their chances of eating healthfully and

meaningfully.

Eating healthfully means finding the most

nutritious food possible. Choosing local foods is a

great way to do this. By growing your own food or

buying foods from local sources, you improve your

chances of freshness and you are in more control

over what your food is exposed to.

Knowing your farmer gives your food more

meaning. It connects you to your neighbors and

improves community self-sufficiency. For more

information on local food sources, contact Georgia at

extension 108.
