Bob and Carol Negro celebrate 60 years of marriage
Friends and family members
of longtime Lovell residents Bob
and Carol Negro gathered at the
historic Sheridan Inn in Sheridan
on Sunday, Sept. 16, to celebrate
the couple's 60th wedding anni-
versary.
Family members in atten-
dance were daughter Kathi and
husband David Johnson of La-
Crosse, Wisc.; daughter Barba-
ra and husband Frank Holvik of
Kristiansand, Norway, and their
children Katherine Holvik and
Andreas Holvik and fiancee Na-
tassja Hemmingby; daughter
Lori and husband Brad Feather
of Worland and their children Ian
and Jared and wife Mandy Feath-
er; son Mitch and wife Annette
Negro of Lovell and children Ty-
ler, Brittany and Nicole; and Car-
ol's sister Jan and husband Gary
Roose of Yakima, Wash.
Bob and Carol Negro were
married in Auburn, Wash., on
Sept. 27, 1952. After three months
of marriage, Bob, who had enlist-
ed in the Navy in 1950, was sta-
tioned in Guam for six months,
then later was stationed in Ha-
waii and Japan before his dis-
charge in 1954.
The young couple moved home
to Lovell and went to work with
Bob and Carol
Bob's father, Chuck Negro, oper-
ating the Big Horn Market, which
later became Big Horn IGA. They
continued to work for the family
business, which had become the
Red Apple Supermarket, until re-
tiring in 2002.
Bob and Carol moved to Sher-
idan but visit Lovell often for a va-
riety of events. Mitch and Annette
Negro now own and operate the
Red Apple, making the supermar-
ket a three-generation business.
Byron news
We lose another Byron original

It was with sadness I learned about Roger Sny-
der leaving us. He certainly fought the good fight
and was brought back these past few years from sev-
eral near death battles more than once. I became ac-
quainted with Roger in his later retired years, as he
was part of a small gang that hung out every morn-
ing at Mom's store. It was expected that by about 9
a.m. they would gather.
Olden Uncle Dave (Cozzens), Dick Havig, Ron
Wirth, Roger and sometimes RB Smith (the young-
ster of the group) would still be there at noon to
keep an eye on those school kids that hit the door
in a scramble. They all had a lifetime of stories to
share, and plenty offish tales. They loved to fish and
would freeze their catch and then have a big fish fry
and invite everyone who wanted to come. I think it
was Roger who told me he didn't really like to eat
fish, but he loved to fish.
He spent several years perched on that stool
across from the cash register and actually got to
know my youngest daughter Holly from the time she
could barely climb up on a stool next to her grand-
ma Dorothy at the cash register. Holly would take
the money from those coffee customers and make
change for them. Roger watched her grow up behind
that counter over the years of visits up here. He al-
ways asked about her and I am so glad they were
able to see each other during Byron Days after a few
years of Holly being away.
I remember Roger telling me that, as a teenag-
er, his mom would help him get all slicked up to ride
his bike over to Lovell to the dances that were held
there for the youth. Roger had a ready laugh and re-
ally enjoyed being in that store gang. One by one
those stools were empty. It was always sad when
one of that gang moved on. Their stool sat with the
group as over the years it dwindled in size.
Those from out of town didn't even understand
the concept about going into a store and coming out
empty handed after a few hours of jawing. But us
small town folks, we get it or at least we used to.
The leaves are turning. I have a vine with bright
red leaves. The colors are amazing. As kids we used
to blame the color on Jack Frost, who would touch
the trees with his paint brush and bring fall in with
cooler weather coming fast on his heels. Can you
name the song with the line "Jack Frost nipping at
your nose?"
Do you give up? It is "Chestnuts Roasting On
An Open Fire" (thank you Google).
A couple of nice changes taking place for you to
notice as you drive around our village. Joyce Zarate
has constructed a small green house that will give
her beautiful flowers next spring to put in her per-
petually beautiful yard. Todd and Debbie Wilder re-
placed that giant window in what used to be Hop-
kinson's Studio with an updated version. What a
process. That was one giant window. Gary Gruell's
home now looks like a new home. Lots of work and
creativity have gone into joining two sections and
tying in a new roof.
I expected to return home from my Arizona vis-
it to see all of the stud walls up at the "pumpkin
patch" house but instead found what looks like blue
foam Lego blocks being filled with cement. James
and Jenna of Alotta Construction tell me that it is a
very efficient building method.
On Saturday we invited some friends to bring
their sledgehammers and in return they got break-
fast and cinnamon rolls. What I got was three walls
demolished and a big mess. We threw out the whole
kitchen including the kitchen sink! Thanks to the
wrecking crew. It can only go up from here.
Senior Chatter
Walk to End AIzt eimer's exceeds $3,000 goal
BY PHYLLIS BRONKEMA
Last Saturday's Walk to End
Alzheimer's held at the North Big
Horn Senior Center was a smash-
ing success. Mark Feit, Develop-
ment Director of the Great Plains
Chapter of the Alzheimer's As-
sociation, came all the way from
Lincoln, Neb., to attend the event.
He commented, "I've never
before seen a walk of this type
end up to be so much fun."
That is due to Director De-
nise Andersen and her tireless
game staff, always coming up
with something new to make it
that way. This year they had
purple balloons tied to chairs all
around the course. When the mu-
sic stopped, each walker went to
the nearest chair and won a prize,
which was either cotton candy, a
cupcake, a cookie, a moon pie or
a popcorn ball. Participants were
constantly coming in the building
to claim their prizes, then head-
ing right back out to the track to
resume walking.
Bret Savage, as the usual
master of ceremonies and music
player, added to the fun in his
own unique style.
"I don't know what I would do
without him," said Andersen.
The Center met and exceeded
its $3,000 goal.
"That's more than one dollar
for every man, woman and child
in Lovell," commented Andersen.
"The whole morning was such a
fantastic show of community, vol-
unteer and staff support."

Is it a Goats
head or
a Devil's
Weed?
BY GARY EMMETr
getgrowingwithgary@gmail.com
As the long hot summer has
turned into a wonderful Indian
summer, the weeds are continu-
ing to raise their ugly heads. One
weed specifically has an ugly
head or at least a painful one.
Goats head, Tribulus Terrestris,
commonly known as puncture
vine, has been leaving its thorns
all around. You might even have
had the misfortune of stepping
on one and feeling the painful re-
sult.
Goats head is an annual
weed vine that is usually found
in poor soils, along an alleyway,
near sidewalks, or just in your
lawn and flowerbeds. The thorny
seed heads can often be found
in the soles of your shoes and if
they haven't pushed their way
through to poke your feet, they
will almost always poke your fin-
gers upon removing your shoes.
This devil's weed has been
known to puncture bike tires. It
is truly a weed with cruel inten-
sions. Handle carefully.
I have seen and removed
some of these vines that have
spread out over a nine square
foot area. And along each ten-
dril, there can be found many
of the thorn bearing nutlets or
seeds. I have found one of the
best ways for me to remove the
vines is to cut the roots, trying
to keep all of the vines intact. I
then can remove the whole plant
and place it in the garbage. Upon
removing the plant, you will no-
tice the many seeds that have
fallen off of the vines and are
on the ground. Try to remove as
many as you can.
If you choose to use weed kill-
ers containing 2, 4-D, glyphosate
or Dicamba, know that the seeds
will still mature and fall off of
the vine. That is why I prefer to
pull the weeds. Be prepared next
spring for more plants to start
growing. You can prevent the
starting of new weeds by using
a pre-emergent chemical next
spring in the areas that have
been infested with these vines.
On a happier gardening
topic, now is the time to start
planting your fall bulbs for your
spring colors. You can use a slow
release fertilizer like bone meal,
but it's not necessary. The bulbs
that you will plant have already
stored their energy to produce
next spring's flowers. As you
plant the bulbs, make sure that
you water the bulbs well. The
bulbs still need to produce roots
this fall and watering makes
sure that moisture is present pri-
or to the ground freezing.
Iris rhizomes should be
planted now also. If you pur-
chase the rhizomes, or roots, you
will find them dried out. I will
soak my new rhizomes in wa-
ter prior to planting them. Don't
leave them in the water for more
than 30 minutes. When plant-
ing, you should slightly cover the
roots, but do not bury them too
deep or they will not flower next
spring.
Believe it or not, spring is
just around the corner. Okay, it
is a few months away, however,
the seed catalogs will start show-
ing up here shortly. But there
are things still to do this fall to
get ready for next spring. On Oc-
tober 10 I will be conducting a
class with the Lovell Community
Ed program on winterizing your
yard.

ing your yard, email your ques-
tions to getgrowingwithgary@
