Get Growing with Gary

We are coming out of one of
the hottest and driest summers
that I can ever remember. And it
is not over yet. As the welcomed
cooler nights have been coming,
along with the cooler days, one
can see the effects of the long,
hot summer. There are steps you
still need to take to ensure that
you are able to enjoy your yard
throughout the fall.
Watering has been a cra-
zy ordeal. But you now need to
start cutting back on the amount
of water that you have been ap-
plying to your lawn. If you keep
watering your lawn the same
amount you were at the first of
the month and throughout July,
you will more than likely end
up with fungus in your lawn. If
you were watering your lawn an

School is in session once
again. Last week teachers and
employees of the schools re-
turned to campus to prepare for
the fall semester. School began on
Wednesday. It's hard to believe
that it is time for school and the
summer has passed by so quickly.
Wasn't it just the first of July as
were preparing for Pioneer Day?
The football boys have practices
twice a day, the elementary stu-
dents have been actively prac-
ticing on the school grounds and
here it is, the 2012 school year.
Jeremy and Cinthia Shell
have moved into our communi-
ty as new residents. Jeremy was
transferred through Haliburton
from Phoenix where the family
lived for eight months. Cinthia
is happy for the move as Phoenix
was so congested and both she
and her husband wanted to leave
city life. Both Jeremy and Cinthia
were raised in Basin and Shell.
When she mentioned she
grew up in Shell, I asked her if
she remembered the late Frank
Hinckley, Sr and she did go to
school with one of his sons.
Frank Hinckley was origi-
nally from Cowley and graduated
from Cowley High School. He was
brother to the late DeVere Hinck-
ley, Wyoming H. Willis, Mary
H. Meeks, John Hinckley, who
taught at Northwest for most of

With school starting soon, a
few of our young Byron families
decided to take their children on
one last camping trip. The plans
were set in motion and when all
was decided they didn't go far,
but it was far enough to feel away
from their regular routine and to
make it a mini vacation of sorts.
There was beach, water, fish-
ing and warnings of snakes and
no campfires allowed. They went
to the area above Horseshoe
Bend.
The kids played in the wa-
ter and on the rocky beach. Early
Saturday morning, Mitch Lofgran
got an early start and arranged
several poles, baited and in the
water just waiting for their fisher-
man to grab on and start catching
fish. The poles were each propped
by the chairs that had been set up
the night before.
As she woke up, Summer Lof-
gran poked her head out of the
tent she and heard: "Grab the
pole! Grab the pole!" She saw the
chair fall over and the pole being
pulled away and made a mad dash
to catch it, but not soon enough.
Mitch had dropped his pole and
run after it but to no avail. The
fish bit and swam away, pulling
the pole into the water and on its
way.
French toast distracted
the kids for a while, but after a
hour, cut back to 45 minutes. If
you were watering 45 minutes
cut it back to 30. However, you
will want to make sure your
trees and shrubs are watered
deeply.
Fertilizing needs to be cut
back on your roses, trees and
shrubs. You don't want to stim-
ulate any extra growth on the
plants. Yet it will soon be a great
time to use a weed and feed on
your lawn to control the weeds
that have been growing in your
lawn. Be careful, because you
will still need to watch how high
the temps get and you don't want
to apply any weed killers to your
lawn when temperatures are still
above 85 degrees. I will usually
wait until after Labor Day. If
you don't want to use a weed and
feed, you are able to use the liq-
uid weed killers. I prefer to use
a product called Weed Free Zone,
his adult life, and Maurine Hinck-
ley, who worked in Billings. It
appears that we are all connected
in some manner.
Jeremy and Cinthia have sev-
en children ranging in age from 9
to 7 months.
They live at the Anderson
place near Lou Marchant Wilson's
home and what I still call the Can-
ning Factory Road. They are close
to the Wilson Construction office
and they are glad to be in the com-
munity. Jeremy works in Lovell
for Haliburton and Cinthia home
schools her children, which seems
a bit overwhelming to me, but we
are glad they are now part of our
community and we welcome them
and their children.
Donna Cozzens sent e-mail
last week to say that Frankie Coz-
zens traveled to Laramie in late
June to see her granddaughter,
Lindsay Kate Cozzens, perform
the lead role of Patsy Cline in "Al-
ways Patsy Cline" at the Snowy
Range Summer Theatre. Lindsay
Kate, an alumna of the Universi-
ty of Wyoming lives in New York
City and is the daughter of David
and Donna Cozzens of Laramie,
where Donna is an office assis-
tant at the Wyo. Union (CAC) at
the university.
Lindsay's dad, David Coz-
zens, is the Associate Vice Presi-
dent for Student Affairs and Dean
of Students at the university. Da-
vid Cozzens is the son of Frankie
and the late Dave Cozzens. Da-
few hours of other fun, fishing
called again. So they threw in
their lines and it wasn't long be-
fore Ethan (son of David and Jen
Hessenthaler) snagged something
and reeled it in. Believe it or not,
it was the pole that had earlier
swam away and the fish was still
attached to the hook. These kids
will all have a great tale to tell on
their "what I did this summer" re-
ports.
Serena and Brandon Hes-
senthaler and family, as well as
Jeff and Jenny Noall and fam-
ily, were all there to witness the
event. My granddaughter Sadie
delivered a sack of a few fish and
was hoping I would cook them. I
made a rule a long time ago that I
would cook fresh fish if they were
speckled, rainbow trout. Any-
thing else was great fertilizer for
the trees. These fish had whiskers
and that just doesn't seem to go
on a fish. As Cole would say, "It's
creepy."
When I was growing up here
in Byron, my friend Mary (Dea-
ton) and I used to go visit her aunt
Ida Mae Sessions. I loved going
there because she lived in that big
grand white house with the wrap-
around porch right in the middle
of Main Street. It reminded me of
those southern mansions you see
in the movies.
The home now belongs to
Gene and Robbie Edwards, and it
has an.interesting history. When
Edwin Sessions and his wife An-
nie (NeVille) came as newlyweds
to Byron, they first lived in a tent
containing the chemical carfen-
trazone. This chemical quickly
kills the persistent weeds in your
lawn. You still need to watch the
temperatures, though.
You might have noticed
some dry looking patches in
your lawn. This could be from
insects. Both billbugs and white
grubs are doing damage down at
the root zone of your grass. If
you have seen the little elongat-
ed white moths flying from your
grass, these are the moths that
are laying the eggs of sod web-
worms. As the sod webworm
matures, they start eating the
blades of grass. Using chemi-
cal granules containing imida-
cloprid can control these lawn
insects. Using permethrin can
control the sod webworm or use
bifenthrin based chemicals.
Fall is a great time for plant-
ing. You can start reseeding or
vid grew up in Cowley, graduated
from here and both he and Donna
have important careers. We're
impressed.
Joining Frankie for the per-
formance was Frankie's daugh-
ter Leslie Cozzens Davies of Rock
Springs and Leslie's daughter,
Jensen Cozzens-Lynch, and her
husband, Brent, residents of Las
Vegas.
Donna gave me more infor-
mation about her daughter Lind-
say. She has been a vocalist since
the age of 12. She was trained in
opera, with polishing at the In-
terlochen Arts Academy in Michi-
gan and a year at Ohio's presti-
gious Cincinnati Conservatory of
Music. She counts her time as a
theater major at the University of
Wyoming among the highlights of
her career.
"Loved it here," said Cozzens,
who since graduating from UW
in 2005 has lived in New York in
pursuit of her dream to make it
on Broadway.
Both of Frankie's granddaugh-
ters have musical talent. Frankie
and all of the Jensen family mem-
bers have splendid voices, and I
remember Frankie singing in all
the musicals, the choir and as a
soloist in the years I grew up in
this town. And, I don't remember
her husband. Dave's voice, but I
recall the beautiful Andrea Coz-
zens and her gorgeous, strong, vi-
brant soprano voice. Congratula-
tions to them all.
and then a log cabin until they
purchased a "ready made" house
from the Sears catalog. (Around
1912-1914.) This was a kit house.
They were shipped by rail and
delivered ready to build with all
necessary hardware, fixtures,
lumber, roofing and siding cut ex-
actly to fit.
The builder was responsi-
ble for the foundation but Sears
provided everything else. Sears
advertising showed that these
large two-story kit homes cost be-
tween $1,000 and $2,000 and that
a customer could save $800 to
$1,000. The large green home on
the corner across the street (Er-
nie and Evelyn Jensen's former
home and present home of the
Larry Colyar family) was also a
Sears catalog home.
Can you imagine the excite-
ment in watching these two beau-
tiful homes being built? Remem-
ber many of these folks had left
grand homes behind to come here
and live in tents. I'm sure it was
the talk of the town from the
day of delivery until it was fin-
ished. Those porches have seen a
lot going on in our town.
In the past month, I have be-
come aware of three cases of shin-
gles, so I thought I would put out
a public service announcement. If
you have had chicken pox in your
past, you should check into get-
ting the shingles vaccine. It cuts
down your chances of shingles by
50 percent and if you do get them
it reduces the misery. You've been
warned. Take heed.
top dressing your lawn to help
repair the damaged spots. Just
make sure that the seed stays
moist and comes in contact with
the soil. Trees and shrubs do
very well when planted in late
summer and into the fall. And I
am going to try a late batch of
garden peas. I hope I haven't
waited too long. I will let you
know how they turn out.
Iris rhizomes or roots need
to be planted as soon as you get
them. Start watching for tulip
and daffodil bulbs. Don't forget
you can plant perennials, too.
Mums and asters are starting to
bloom; this adds great color in
the garden.
As you can see there are
still many things to do in and
around your garden. If you have
any gardening questions, you
can email me at getgrowingwith-
gary@gmail.com.

Senior Chatter
Alzheimer's Walk
is Sept. 22
BY PHYLLIS BRONKEMA
North Big Horn County's ev-
er-busy senior center is alive with
ideas for its yearly "Walk To End
Alzheimer's" event to take place
on Saturday, Sept. 22, from 8
to 10 a.m. Three team captains
have already volunteered and
are rounding up team members.
Each captain receives a special
complimentary T-shirt.
It's not too late to become a
team captain yourself and form
your own team. Or you may join
one of the already existing teams.
You are invited to call the center
at 548-6556 and ask to speak to
either Denise or Kim if interested
in either choice. Area businesses
are invited to form a team, too.
Fun gifts will be given that
day for the team that walks the
most miles, has the most people
and/or raises the most money.
Ideas for prizes are still being de-
veloped.
The theme of the walk itself
is Reminisce. Novel activities
are being planned for that day in
keeping with that theme.
If you are unable to attend
the walk, there are easy and af-
fordable ways to become involved.
Forget-Me-Not flowers are avail-
able at the center for $2 each on
which names of loved ones who
have suffered from this disease
can be placed. Or you may pur-
chase one just as a memorial
for any loved one. Perhaps the
name of a caretaker for victims
of Alzheimer's may be placed on
a flower. There is also a quilt be-
ing raffled off, and there will be
a 50/50 raffle going on until the
22nd. Last yea s winner netted
$90.
The center would like to en-
courage as many people as possi-
ble to become a part of this worth-
while cause.
