East detour to move to
Kansas next week
BY DAVID PECK
er last week estimat-
ing that the Main Street de-
tour might jump two blocks
from Montana to Kansas
this week, officials for the
Lovell Main Street Project
now say that jump will like-
ly take place mid-week next
week.
The west detour did
move from Idaho two blocks
to Great Western Tuesday
night last week, a two-block
move necessitated by the
median strip remaining in
place around the sugar fac-
tory corner, which doesn't
allow large trucks to make
the turn at Hampshire
Avenue.
Wyoming Dept. of
Transportation Resident En-
gineer Ben Steed said Tues-
day that work is wrapping
up from Shoshone to Kan-
sas, which vdll allow the de-
tour to move two blocks west
from Montana. Officials had
earlier decided to not move
the detour to Shoshone Ave-
nue because of the presence
of school children walking
two and from school on that
major street.
"Most of the roadway
concrete is done," Steed
said. 'e do have sidewalks
and pedestrian ramps to
complete."
DOWL engi-
neer Azldrew Mattie said at
Tuesday night's town coun-
cil meeting that the Wilson
Brothers crew is working on
water and sewer lines be-
tween Jersey and Idaho this
week, with the Reiman Corp.
concrete crew a block or two
to the east. He said the proj-
ect is running two to three
weeks behind schedule.
"It's slated to finish the
first week in November and
is probably going to go over
that," Mattie said. 'l]ae
weather will be a factor for
the concrete. The contractors
are doing a good job."
Mattie said Wilson
Brothers has been putting
in stubs to several homes so
their service lines can be up-
dated in the future.
'%Ve're finding a lot of
things that are surprising,
including a couple of lead
lines," Mattie said.
During Tuesday's week-
ly public meeting, officials
noted that work to grind
Main Street will start by
the end of the month, pos-
sibly Sept. 29, Steed said.
Also taking place in the
next couple of weeks is pav-
ing the side street asphalt
where the streets intersect
with Main.
Resident Earl Lukkes
came to Tuesday's meet-
ing to say that more cracks
have developed at his home
at 290 Shoshone Ave. Engi-
neers went to the home to
look at cracks following the
meeting.
Also at Tuesday's meet-
ing, Lovell councilman Bri-
an Dickson asked project
leaders to limit work at the
Western Motel to one access
route at a time so guests
can enter the property.

Edward (Edd) L. Meier
Feb. 10, 1944 - Sept. 5, 2014
Edward L. Meier,
known always as Edd, was
born in Lovell, Feb. 10,
1944, to Harold and El-
sie Meier and died in Bill-
ings Sept. 5, 2014, of an ex-
tremely rare disease that
attacks the body's muscles
and which affects only six
people in a million: Inclu-
sion Body Myositis.
Though not feeling well
since March after receiving
heart stents, his disease
wasn't diagnosed until Edd
finally went to the Univer-
sity of Utah Medical Center
on August 15. While nor-
mally a slow moving dis-
ease, Edd's was the excep-
tion, leaving many stunned
by his passing.
Edd grew up on the
family farm in Kane, Wyo.,
graduating from Lovell
High School. He was a
master mechanic who not
only could fix anything but
could also tell people how
to fix things in a way they
clearly understood. One of
his proudest accomplish-
ments was teaching a total-
ly deaf young man how to
become a master mechanic,
no small feat since he knew
no sign language.
Though retired, un-
til shortly before he died
farmers were calling him
to ask how to fix machinery
or were having him "stop
by" to show them. Living in
the Powell area, he worked
first for John Deere, then
for T&E Caterpillar out of
Billings as the Wyoming
Field Mechanic.
Lured by the Arizona
weather after a visit to fam-
ily in Tucson, Edd then be-
came the shop foreman for
Empire Caterpillar in Tuc-
son, Ariz., retiring in 2012
and moving back to Cow-
ley to be near children and
grandchildren. With the
same meticulousness to de-
tail that he applied to being
a mechanic, he soon, with
Zo helping, had a lovely
home with beautiful land-
scaping outside of Cowley
near the high school. Being
very industrious, besides
advising and helping farm-
ers and creating a lovely
home of his own, he also
found time to help his chil-
dren with projects such as
extra bathrooms and other
things.
In 1976, Edd married
Zo, each bringing four chil-
dren to the union and creat-
ing a family of eight. While
he loved his work, the joy
of his life was doing things
vdth his family. He partic-
ularly loved camping, fish-
ing, boating, snowmobiling
and riding the Razor with
his family. He would even
make getting wood fun for
his children. One of his
greatest joys was getting
his family together for hol-
idays, making them very
special.
Edd is survived by four
siblings: Dolly Dewing,
Adelle (John) Lewis, Gary
(Elanore) Meier and Don-
ny (Lynn) Meier. His sur-
viving children include
Steve (Cindy) Meier, Shan-
non (Maggie) Meier, Ran-
dy Meier, Christy (Steve)
Banks, Steven (Meadow)
Scheeler, Debora (Brent)
Hibbert and Todd (Ju-
lie) Scheeler. There are
24 grandchildren and 10
great-grandchildren.
Edd was preceded
in death by his parents;
a brother-in-law, Dick
Dewing; a brother, Eugene,
who drowned at age 2; a
son, Darren, who died at
age 2 days; and a daughter,
Toreasa, who died at age 10
after complications from a
kidney transplant.
Funeral services for
Edd Meier will be held on
Friday, Sept. 12 at 10 a.m.
in the Cowley LDS Church
on Main Street in Cowley.
Interment will be in the
Lovell Cemetery.
Rose Davis Wenstrom
Aug. 16, 1965 - Sept. 6, 2014
Rose Davis Wenstrom
was born in Sheridan on
Aug. 16, 1965. She was born
to an English woman and a
cowboy, which shaped her
entire life. Rose was raised
in Sheridan and Parkman.
In 1986 she married Kev-
in Gaskin, who enlisted
in the Navy. To this union
two beautiful children, K.C.
and Grace, were born. They
were divorced in 1999. Rose
became a single mother.
Those years were both dif-
ficult and wonderful.
In 2007 she mar-
ried Don Wenstrom, who
changed her life forever. To
their marriage Lilian Rose
was born. She was the joy of
their lives. Life was focused
on family and love from that
time on. Rose loved being a
stay-at-home mom and was
able to return to that voca-
tion when she married Don.
Rose was always dedi-
cated to her children during
her years as a single moth-
er. She worked around
baseball and volleyball so
K.C. and Grace could par-
ticipate. They traveled all
over the country to games.
Rose put together the
Deaver Festival, • which
brought bands, arts, food
and much excitement to the
community.
Rose was diagnosed
with cancer in early July.
There were many trips to
Billings for treatment. The
cancer took her life on Sept.
6, 2014, at 2 p.m. at the age
of 49. Her family's hearts
are aching for their beloved
mother and wife. For those
wishing to donate to the Lili
Wenstrom Benefit Fund,

father, Leonard (Diane) Da-

daughters Grace Gaskin of
Ohio, and Lilian Wenstrom
of the family home.
