This week's column
kind of picks up on last
week's. I had reported that
several residents had called
the clerk's office in regard
to the irrigation water ser-
vice fee that began on the
first of the month.
I received a complaint
from one individual who
was upset with the term
"several" and that his com-
plaint was directly directed
to me. It is my belief that
the term "couple" repre-
sents two, "a few" represent
three to five, and "several"
represent six to a dozen or
so. "Many" would represent
a percentage of probably 20
to 30, and of course, "major-
ity" would represent more
than 51 percent. In this par-
ticular case, my use of the
term "several" is accurate
and does not need any more
justification. The individual
making the call to me has
the right to his opinion and
I accept his complaint with-
out prejudice, but I will not
retract the term "several."
It should be noted, how-
ever, that the majority of
the received calls at the
clerk's office were to inform
the town that the caller
does not use the ditch de-
livery system and therefore
they would be credited for
the charge. As stated be-
fore, the clerk's office has
no way of knowing for sure
who does or who doesn't use
the ditches. The procedure
used to initiate the fee was
probably the best way to do
so. Both the clerk and the
mayor were expecting more
calls than actually received,
which indicates the new fee
has been accepted rather
reasonably.
On a very positive side,
there have been a few lov-
ing neighbors that have
called volunteering to pay
the new fee for others that
they believe cannot afford
the additional cost. This
type of compassion is one of
the many reasons Byron is
a great place to live.
It is common knowledge
that the town has six indi-
viduals seeking two seats
on the town council and
four individuals seeking a
term as mayor for the town
of Byron. As a courtesy, the
first Pre-Primary Receipts
Report of all candidates
seeking public office is due
to the County Clerks office
not later than Aug. 10. A
copy of the report is avail-
able at the Byron Complex.
Once completed, the report
should be mailed to the
County Clerk's office at PO
Box 31, Basin, WY 82410.
As a public service, there
will be a "Meet the Candi-
dates" forum on Aug. 5 at 7
p.m. in the Rocky Mountain
High School auditorium. In-
terested persons in the town
have formed a list of ques-
tions and the candidates
will be asked to respond to
those questions. The public
will also be allowed to ask
questions of the candidate
if they so desire.
If you are not registered
to vote at this time, you may
register at the polls on elec-
tion day, Aug. 17. The elec-
tion will be held at the By-
ron Complex.
As always, have a great
and safe week.
Shanae is a 2009 graduate
of Star Valley High School.
They are both attending
the University of Wyoming
where Lucas is studying
engineering and Shanae is
studying child psychology.
Hyde returns from mission in Japan
Mark Gardner Hyde,
son of Carola and John
Hyde of Lovell, returned
Thursday, July 1, from serv-
ing a two-year mission for
the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. Mark
served in the Japan Sen-
dai Mission, which covers
the northern part of Japan.
After spending the last two
years with the Japanese,
Mark is now fluent in that
language.
He reported his mis-
sion in the Lovell Fourth
Ward on Sunday, July 11. Mark Hyde
He said the weather in Ja-
pan is much like ours, ex-
cept much more humid.
Mark's parents and other
family members were able
to travel to Japan and tour
with him before his return
to Lovell.
Mark plans on attend-
ing college at Eastern Utah
in Price, Utah. He will at-
tend on a baseball scholar-
ship.

Get Growing ,o, with Gary Emmett
nun
What a week it has been
and I don't know where to
begin to share; might as
well start at the top.
Grasshoppers: They
are still out there wreak-
ing havoc on our gardens.
First off, if you are apply-
ing a granule insect killer
and it is not baited, it is
very unlikely that it will do
anything to your popula-
tion of grasshoppers. You
must use a baited granule
like the Eco-Bran that you
can get from the County
Weed at/d- Pest.: s: es-
day morning they had the
large 44-pound sacks and
were waiting for the small-
er 2-pound shakers to come
in.
I am using both the bait-
ed granules and also spray-
ing with the liquid carbaryl
in the early morning or late
night when the grasshop-
pers are not so apt to take
flight and I can make sure
that I can get a good contact
with the chemical.
Lawn problems: Though
we have had problems with
grubs and other lawn in-
sects that are doing dam-
age "not -all of ti ese'*p -
lems can be blamed on the
insects. Some of it comes
from fungal problems. You
can spray for these fungal
problems, however, you will
need to make a secondary
application.
Another problem that
can occur in a lawn is by
spraying weed killers. Usu-
ally there is a warning
about not spraying your
lawn when daytime temps
are going to be above 85
degrees (F). In high tem-
peratures, the weed killer
can volatize and start to
drift across your yard caus-
ing damage on youT other
plants that you didn't want
to kill. Certain weed kill-
ers can also burn out grass
when temperatures get too
hot. Always read and fol-
low the labels and remem-
ber that just a little more
doesn't mean it will do just
a little bit better.
Vegetable gardens:
With warmer nighttime
temperatures you might
start to see some fungal
problems on some of your
plants. There is a garden
fungicide that is safe for
your vegetables called Da-
conil. Follow the directions
to see how many days that
you will need to wait to har-
vest your vegetables.
Potato Beetles and oth-
er beetles are starting to
rear their ugly heads, too.
Be careful of what you are
spraying. I prefer to use
Spinosad to control the oth-
er insects in my garden.
On the good side of the
season is that most gardens
are starting to produce
their harvest. Cucumbers,
tomatoes, green beans and
other vegetables are start-
ing to come on. This is the
time when we start to see
all the work we have put i,n
come to fruition." Hdwev~r,
remember to lock your dad
doors at church because
my zucchini is coming on
strong.
Last week I spent a
couple of days up at the
Paintrock Lakes camping
and fishing. It was a great
place to get away from it
all and celebrate my wife's
birthday with family. The
mountains were alive with
color and I even saw a few
varieties of plants that I
didn't know would grow up
in those high elevations.
It was really a treat to see
all of the flowers that sur-
i'ound us if we only take the
time to stop and take a look
around.

The Cowley Weekly Progess:
Hot weather? Here it
is: special for Saturday,
July 27. All the Root Beer
you can drink for 5 cents at
Bassett's Drug Store. (ad
shown)
Last Sunday, when a
Cody airplane was zoom-
ing over Cowley, Council-
man Grant Taggart looked
up Mayor Tebbs and insist-
ed on taking the latter "for
a ride."
The Mayor objected
strenuously, stating that he
felt much safer on terra fir-
ma, or whatever it is what
one calls solid ground. How-
ever, Mr. Taggart finally
won the argument, insist-
ing only that the doughty
councilman go along. When
they had taken the air, the
pilot insisted on learning
Mr. Taggart how to oper-
ate not only the "stick" but
also the controls. That's
when the mayor began to
act a little squeamish and
grabbed for the parachute-
who wouldn't, with an un-
learned pilot in control?
However the party circled
over Lovell a few times, and
then headed for the Cowley
airport, Mr. Taggart pilot-
ing like a veteran until in
sight of the landing, when
the pilot took charge and
lande# the plane, much to
the relief of the mayor. It
takes guts a plenty to keep
from hollering "Bloody Mur-
der" when up in the air with
an unlearned pilot. Yet the
Mayor took it and appar-
ently liked it.

The Lovell Chronicle:
Lovell received a real
boost from the Saturday
Evening Post, in this last
issue. It is listed under the
"Keeping Posted" heading
on the last page, and is re-
ported by Arthur W. Baum.
This is his text about Wyo-
ming. Baum says there is
only one stretch of highway
on our map that he would
not willingly travel again-
the Shell canyon road,
'U.S. 14' between Grey-
bull and Ranchester, Wyo.
'It is notched into the side
of a mountain and there
is no shoulder. The most
hair-raising stretch of road
I have ever seen' said this
veteran tourist." The "Post"
editor added, "We will take
his word for it." The best
part of the whole article
is that many of the "Post"
readers will also take his
word for it and use "Wyo-
ming 14 which brings them
through Lovell."
Sage Creek refinery,
this week announced the
opening of their new Save-
way gas station about one-
half mile west of Lovell. A
spokesman for the refinery
stated that a formal grand
opening will be planned for
later. Some construction re-
mains to be completed. (pic-
