Neighborhood Watch open house
highlights accomplishments of group
BY RYAN FITZMAURICE
A May 18 neighborhood
watch open house, in By-
ron capped a busy year and
a half for the organization
in coordination with the
Big Horn County Sheriff‘s
Department.
Around 50 attend—
ed the open house, where
presentations on K—9 units,
fingerprinting and DNA,
search and rescue, emer—
gency vehicle protocol, se—
nior citizen safety, the color
red program and local EMS
volunteer programs were
made to the community.
“We meet monthly, and
in these monthly meet—
ings, we talk about dif—
ferent types of safety, the
neighborhood watch mod—
el or the community watch
model. It’s the police, com—
munity and the citizens
working to ether to ap—
prove the li est le of their
citizens,” Sherif Ken Black—
burn said. “It’s not limited
to just criminal activity, it’s
also public safety.”
Among the activities
held by the neighborhood
watch since its beginning
in 2020 have been monthly
presentations, which have
included topics such as In—
ternet crimes and scams,
the sex offender regis—
try and human trafficking,
emergency management
services, fire prevention
and home safety and sui—
cide awareness.
Apart from the month-
ly presentations, the group,
in partnership with the
Bifg Horn County Sher-
if s Department, donat—
ed 418 items to the Lovell
Fire Department food drive

watch signs on the high—

sponse training and certifi—

and Cowley.
Perhaps most sig-
nificantly, the group has
played a role in creating a
volunteer first respond—
er force for the Byron and
Cowley areas.
“It gave us an opportu—
nity to get to know our of-
ficers, and our sheriff has
been so great in supporting
us and making sure we had
the resources to start the
group," Bern Mayor Pam
Hopkinson said.

Our neighbors, the
Calvins, sold their house,
and a new family moved
in. Because of COVID—19
and other circumstances,
we did not have a chance
to meet our new neigh—
bors until recently. Now I
can share about what love—
ly people they are.
Cardston George and
Keath Fenton first met
in Southern California,
where they served mis—
sions for the Church of Je—
sus Christ of Latter—day
Saints in 2012. On August 1,
2014, they were married in
the Draper Temple in Utah.
While Keath was pursuing.
his music degree at BYU,
Cardston managed a jew—
elry store. After he gradu-
ated in 2017, they moved to
Craig, Colo., where Keath
taught one year of ele—

mentary music. He then
taught music in a near-
by school teaching K—12.
Cardston was keeping the
same hours as her husband
worked as a special ed
paraprofessional. Her hob—
bies include flower arrang-
ing (making her own wed-
ding bouquet), reading and
collecting Christmas trees.
Since- Mr. Fenton di—
rected several musicals,
Cardston assisted by do—
ing hair and makeup for
the actors. Keath compli—
ments his wife by saying
how good she is with eo—
ple; his students love her,
which I can understand,
visiting this sweet, joyful
young mother. She, in turn,
tells me how talented her
husband is, playing 12 dif—
ferent instruments, a won-
derful singer and a bak-
er. He has made a total of
three wedding cakes So far.
One year ago, on June

23, they were blessed
with a delightful baby girl
named June. They take
turns changing diapers
and loving her as much as
possible.
They are very happy
to be in Wyoming. They
explain that there is a
much better opportuni—
ty for teachers here. Keath
is now teaching band in
Lovell. Since Cairdston was
raised in Cody, she has a
lot of family in this area
and is happy to be closer to
them. She is in the process
of helping plan a huge fam—
ily reunion for the George
family, which will be held
at Bear Lake in Utah. Since
she is a~stay-at—home mom,
she has time to make lots
of phone calls for reserva-
tions and planning. It has
been an adjustment for
her because she has al-
ways worked outside of the
home and likes to stay busy.

After World War II,
because of the Shosho-
ne Irrigation Project, the
George Family came to
the Heart Mountain Di—
vision to settle in 1947.
When Cardston’s great
grandparents first came
to Wyoming, they lived in
a barracks at the reloca-
tion camp. They later built
a house and a dairy barn
with wood reclaimed from
the camp.
Carston’s great-grand—
mother, Evaleen George, at
97 years old, continues to
live there today. She had
eight children, and her
children also had big fami—
lies, including several sets
of twins, which seems to
run in the family — one
reason, possibly, why it is
such a big family reunion
being planned. We want
to welcome this sweet
family to Cowley. We love
you already!

Welcome to Byron

We have had the plea—
sure of welcoming new
folks in town over the re-
cent past months. Some
have built a new home, and
some have bought a home
already waiting for them. I
am slow on gettin around
to visit with each amily to ,
introduce them, but I will
start with my nearest new
neighbors.
Kim and Kirk Ohman
and their children, Kamer—
on, ready to start kinder-
garten, and Khloe, the
baby, moved into the green
house that back in the ear-
ly early days belonged to
the Winzenrieds and later
Mrs. Lilas Cowley and her
three children. Cliff and
Florence Asay and their
large family moved into
the residence after that. I
told Kirk that their home
held a lot of history and
shared the times that I got
in on at least watching the
breadmaking and the but—
ter-churning activities of
the Asay family.
I have admired the way
Kim and Kirk jumped right
into cleaning their yard.
They are wor ing on a sys-
tem to get the water to the
very large front yard.
Kameron is a smart
and talkative boy and in—
formed me that he knew
Colton, who lives up the
street, and played outside
.1 AM ajyt
‘ Lovell Bible Church
with my granddau hter
Lily when she visite . He
introduced his little sister
to me.
Kim is the daughter of
long—time residents Pam
and Joe Mooney. She met
Kirk when he was in the
Young Marines and her fa—
ther Joe was his CO. Kirk
was raised in Powell. His
grandfather’s brother was
Dr. Ohman, who used to
live in Lovell. He told Kim
that he would never move
to Byron, but one should
never say never. He admit-
ted he was now very-happy
to have settled here. Kim
moved back to a place she
enjoyed. She shared mem—
ories of Cozzens Store and
the candy, pop and hot dog
trips. She remembered
Dorothy and Mrs. Asay
with fondness.
Kirk grew up working
with his dad on cars, trucks
and bikes. He has a bike he
is working on. By trade, he
is a roofer and has worked
in the contracting busi—
ness in his adult years. He
now works at Tractor Sup—
ply and is the fix—it man
for his grandparents” rent-
als in Powell. Kim works as
a direct care worker with
adults with disabilities in
home health care.
It’s nice to haVe new
families in town, and it
is great to have someone
come back home to be a
part of their hometown
community.
Welcome to Kim and
Kirk, Kameron and Khloe.
