Last Thursday while Ed and
Julie Riding were taking their
nightly 'sunset walk,' they spotted
what looked like a large cow in a
field on the river bottom. As they
approached to a closer vantage
point, Julie casually said, "Oh, it's
a moose." Wait...a moose? Yes, it
was, but there is more to the sto-
ry. Earlier in the day, the moose
had casually crossed the high-
way east of town and ended up in
the field of horses where the little
black dog resides (used to be So-
lon Cozzens' field, currently Lar-
ry Mulholland's).
The horses and dog took it all
in stride like this strange look-
ing newcomer is welcome and
belongs. But, the moose seemed
to be looking for perhaps a less
populated area and ambled along
across Main Street, gathering a
crowd here and there as he went.
He is young, his large ears
almost as big as his leaf shaped
antlers, but he is a big guy, not
in a hurry, but not really wanting
to hang around any spot for too
long. Moose are solitary animals,
so on he traveled, giving people a
start and a mad scramble to get
a good picture. Of the many pic-
tures snapped, the most clear was
a photo by Cindy DeLacruz, as
Moose headed toward the river
bottom, which is where our sto-
ry began. But, where did he come
from? Most likely the Big Horns, I
would guess, perhaps looking for
greener pastures, having felt the
cold weather moving in.
As the harvest is winding
down, I heard one gardener say
he was really tired of fresh toma-
toes and peppers, but I know next
spring he will be the first one to
get his garden planted. This year
seems to be a blessed year for
gardens. Mary and Waldo Jensen

Residents of Byron had a surprise visitor on Thursday, when
a young male moose passed through town after spending some
time bedding down in a nearby field.
have been busy gathering and
sharing the harvest of 14 apple
trees.
Mary recently had foot sur-
gery and is to be off her foot for
at least five more weeks. But you
know that is not going to slow her
down. I stopped over a few days
ago and she was in the kitchen,
in her wheel chair, in the middle
of everything with freshly canned
applesauce on the counter. Wally
son l rr,m
to can following her step-by-step
supervision. I sensed they were
willing and able but not particu-
larly excited about their newly ac-
quired kitchen skills.
Something is up with the
chickens around town. The Alan
Clarks and a few neighbors are
experiencing a dearth of eggs
from formerly happyand
productive laying hens, yet down
the street the Giffords are getting
as many as usual. Ed did mention
having to trap a couple of foxes
that had been digging into his
coop.
I hoped they weren't the cute
little foxes I watched playing to-
gether out on the old Marathon
road loop north of town. There
were two, and they were oblivi-
ous to their audience. The culvert
had attracted them and they were
playing and crawling in and out
from one end to the next. Hope-
fully, they are still out playing
and didn't find the coop in town. If
you xp ]gt on chickens
know why they decide to stop lay-
ing, I'm curious, so let us know.
There will be a "Meet the
Candidates" night on Thursday,
Oct. 18. David Peck has agreed
to moderate. But the fun part is
a chili cooking contest and free
food. It will be in the cafeteria
at the old school building, so
mark your calendars. It should
be cool enough to make chili a
good dinner choice and you can
ask questions about things you
may have heard, read or have an
interest in.

"Through Snow and Sun-
shine" is the title of a beautiful
five-act melodrama, which is to
be presented at the opera house
Monday by home talent. This will
be one of the finest dramas ever
staged in this city and should be
well patronized.

Beans stopped a softball game
at Basin last week, much to the
disappointment of several hun-
dred fans. Bean factories required
all of the available electric power
to continue operation, making it
necessary to shut off the powerful
lights which illuminate the base-
ball field.

The Parker family hosted a
birthday party for their moth-
er, Linda Parker, two weeks
ago. Linda turned 75 this year,
and the children and grandchil-
dren held the party at the his-
toric Cowley Academy. The buf-
fet supper was scrumptious as
the vegetables and fruits were
in season, the sandwiches were
delicious, there was a beautiful
cake plus other desserts and a
large crowd attended the occa:
sion to honor Linda.
Linda married the late Le-
Roy Parker and had three chil-
dren, who grew up in Cowley
and attended our school system.
Linda has worked at the post of-
fice for many years as a substi-
tute with David Marchant, Jack
Nicholls and now Debra Full-
er. She also works at other jobs
and has taught her children to
work hard. She is a great influ-
ence for everyone who knows
her. She is a quiet, sensitive, pri-
vate person and has a sense of
humor, is generous and kind. We
all congratulate her on her birth-
day as she works each day and is
an example and an asset to our
town. We love her and admire
her diligence and consistency.
Kris and Stephanie Brim-
hall have a beautiful new daugh-
ter who was born Sept. 18 and
weighed 7 pounds, 8 ounces. She
has two older sisters, Kassidy
and Kennedy, both 3. Kassidy has
the gorgeous red Brimhall hair.
Kennedy has her mother's color-
ing and has dark brown, shiny
tresses. Kielley is pronounced
Kylie. She has a reddish tint to
her hair. Each child's name has
seven letters. Maternal grand-
parents are Brenda and William
Pearce. Her great-grandparents
are Nan and the late Don Nich-
olls. Paternal grandparents are
Keith and Carol Brimhall. Her
great-grandparents are the late
Keith and Elese Brimhall. Con-
gratulations to the new addition
to the young Brimhall family and
to their gorgeous girls.
Ray and Cresta Peterson
have a new grandson, who was
born Tuesday, Sept 25. He
weighed 7 pounds, 12 ounces and
has been given the name Colton
Reed Peterson. His parents are
Jordan and Brittany Peterson
of Laramie. Maternal grandpar-
ents are Ron and Shari Harper of
Las Vegas. His paternal grand-
parents are Ray and Cresta, and
his great-grandparents are Le-
Rose and the late Dee Ray Peter-
son, Boots and Barbara Shum-
way of Lovell and Drue and the
late John C. Meek.
Colton has a first cousin,
Connor Reese Peterson, son of
Reynold Reese and Stephanie
Peterson, who was born the week
before Colton. Cresta and Ray
have two grandsons who look
like brothers and we are all feel-
ing joyous and thankful that the
two little boys are healthy and, of
course, most handsome. Ray and
Cresta have been on the road al-
most constantly the last two
weeks meeting their grandsons
and taking their son Elder Kyle
Shumway Peterson to the mis-
sion home in Provo on Sept. 25.
The family has had much excite-
ment and traveled to Riverton,
then home, Laramie, Provo, and
back to Laramie to see their new
grandson and home again. They
are exhausted, but exhilarat-
ed. New births are miraculous
events and we are thankful that
the three babies born within the
same week or so are healthy.
On a more somber note, we
have experienced two deaths
in the last few weeks. Carol June
Landes Banks died unexpected-
ly Sept. 7 and left her husband,
Ken Banks, to mourn her pass-
ing. She and Ken were married
59 years and we not only pray for
her sorrowful husband, but her
six children who live in Cowley
and Lovell. Carol was a beautiful
woman physically and spiritu-
ally, was a devoted wife, a histo-
rian, and she left a legacy of ge-
nealogy for her family. She was
quiet and loving, always smiling
and loved her family and people.
Ken and Carol have lived
in Cowley on the hill next to
the late Grant Taggart family,
which is now Deb's Childcare
home, for their whole married
life. We miss her smile, her per-
sonality filled with love and send
our sympathies to her husband,
children, grandchildren, great-
grandchildren, friends and all
who knew this lovely, quiet, gen-
tle lady. We all suffer her loss.
Eva D. Lynn Green Asay
was born April 3, 1917, and died
Sept. 24 in Lovell. She leaves be-
hind her daughters, Geraldine
Townsend of Cowley and Diane
Ley of Powell, and son Dennis
Green of Casper, her step-chil-
dren Jan Ellis and Scott Asay of
Lovell and her daughter-in-law
Judy Green. She was a joyous
person who loved life and adven-
ture, worked hard at various jobs
during her lifetime with cheer
and efficiency. She loved to cook
and she was active and travel-
ing until these summer months
when she began to fail at age 95.
She lived a full and adventur-
ous life and loved every minute
of it. She was kind and good and
beautiful and has left behind her
grieving children, grandkids and
great-grandkids, and her sis-
ters Julia Paris and Ireta Fuller
Musgrave.
She left behind many friends
at the care center and her spirit
of joy and love are assets she gave
to her family. She was bright,
cheerful and loving and we miss
her and send sympathy to all
who loved her. Even though she
was 95, losing your mother and
grandmother leaves family and
friends with a loss because when
your last parent leaves, you are
an orphan.
We hope and pray that her
son, Leonard, grandson Mike
Townsend, her husband TG
Green and husband Orvin Asay
and all her family on the other
side have met her and she is now
free of her pain with those who
have crossed the veil. She was a
beautiful person with a beautiful
spirit and loved her life and lived
it to the fullest. Our sympathies
to her family and friends.
