'Byron Haunted High School' offers frightful experiences
BY BOB RODRIGUEZ
Because of its fright-
ening labyrinth of horror,
the "Byron Haunted High
School" presentation for
the Halloween season is
PG-13 and not recommend-
ed for younger persons.
Ghoulish guided tours
of approximately 20 min-
utes are offered from
Thursday, Oct. 23, through
Saturday, Oct. 25, and
Thursday the 30th through
Saturday, Nov. 1. Hours
will be from 8 p.m. until
there are no more custom-
ers willing to brave the
scary scenarios. The en-
trance will be at the main
door of the former By-
ron High School on Main
Street.
Each of three ghostly
guides will lead groups of
four to six persons through
pretty much the entire
length and breadth of the
former high school. And it
will be a frightful experi-
ence. So says Victoria Dick-
son, director of the Byron
Recreation Dept., which
is sponsoring the Haunt-
ed House. Indirect light-
ing, darkened rooms and
hallways and eerie noises
will be parts of the tours,
as well as spooky props
designed to scare visitors
out of their wits or at least
make their hair stand on
end.
For several days a vol-
unteer crew has been pre-
paring the site for the
unnerving Halloween pro-
gram. Proceeds will be used
to defray Haunted High
School staging expenses
and for other rec events.
"We're inviting ev-
eryone to come meet the
new and old ghosts of the
school, as it is haunted,"
said Dickson.

Halloween carnival Monday at log gym
BY DRUE TEBBS-MEEK asked to bring canned goods to help race, which is a suburb of Ogden,

*** Fork, Utah. We send our love and
Halloween has always been a
favorite night in Cowley, especial-
ly for the young people. A lot of peo-
ple decorate the outside of their
homes with spiders and cobwebs
and some have monsters to greet the
trick-or-treaters.
People put up orange and black
lights that shine on pumpkins and
scary doors. The costumes the young-
er generations wear are fun to look
at for the community members who
stay home and give out treats. Some
of them are very inventive. Porch
lights are on and it just invites the
little kids in, even if the weather is
nice.
This year the Cowley Recreation
Dept. is sponsoring a Halloween Car-
nival on Monday, Oct. 27. The carni-
val will begin at 6 p.m. and end at
8 p.m. Dinner will be served for $2
and it will consist of a hot dog, chips,
soda and a cupcake. All the proceeds
will go to the FFA. There will be fun
games and cool prizes. The event will
be held in our beautifully renovat-
ed gymnasium. Those attending are
Cal and Marlene Jones received
some wonderful news last month.
Their son Brandon and his wife Macy
have a new baby girl born on Sept.
24, weighing in at seven pounds. She
has been given the name Ember Ma-
rie Jones and she is welcomed with
love and joy. Cal and Marlene Jones
are her paternal grandparents and
Steven and Mary Winters of Otto are
the maternal grandparents.
The Jones family has had a year
of fear and prayers, but fortunate-
ly all seems well now. Two of their
children have had cancer problems
and both have been receiving chemo-
therapy and/or radiation for many
months. Marlene said that their fam-
ily history shows no sign of cancer.
Their daughter Shelley, who is only
48, has her cancer in remission now
and their son Ryan, 43, has leuke-
mia. They are both in remission and
regaining their health and Cal and
Marlene don't have to be gone for
months at a time now to help them as
they suffer through their treatments.
Shelley lives in Washington Ter-
prayers to the whole family and we
are glad to hear they are regaining
their strength and health so they can
enjoy life once again.
The town has a new member of
the community, a baby boy named
Logan Allen Timpany, who was born
to Melissa and Justin Timpany at
the Powell Valley Hospital on Oct. 7,
weighing 7 pounds, 15 ounces.
His grandparents are John and
Carolyn Barnes and Mark and Jan-
sy Timpany. Great-grandparents
are Neil Clapp and Mary Timpa-
ny-Clapp and the late Ed and Edith
Cook Barnes. Congratulations to the
family and all who love him so much.
Melissa and Justin live in her
late grandparents' home and Ed and
Edith had a warm, inviting place
with lawn, bushes, a chokecher-
ry bush and decorations Ed made
of western animals outside and oth-
er scenes. How nice it is to live in
a place where love was shared by a
couple who were married since their
youth. Congratulations to everyone.
Byron News
We mourn the loss of two residents
BY PAMELA COZZENS
HOPKINSON
pamhopkinson@gmail.com
This past week we
have said goodbye to two
of our community family.
The first is Bill Martin. He
and his wife Linda have
lived in Byron since he re-
tired. They purchased the
former Cliff and Elizabeth
Powelson home and made
it their own.
I always appreciated
their efforts to decorate for
Halloween and Christmas.
I believe their yard was the
first to reflect the holiday
spirit with their inflatable
scenes and other decor.
He loved his dogs and
it sounds like he was a
fun grandfather to nine
grandchildren and four
great-grandchildren. How
many grandpas rock out to
Pink Floyd? He did. I know
he is missed. Our condo-
lences to Linda and her
daughters and families.
Laura Nation also
passed away after spend-
ing some time at the New
Horizons Care Center.
Laura was the daughter
of Griff Abraham (brother
to George). Her grandfa-
ther John moved to Byron
in 1906 and, not want-
ing to have his boys work
in the mines, purchased
land three miles northeast
of Byron and put them to
work clearing sagebrush.
His wife Katie (Gran-
nie Abraham) called it her
"Bonnie Brae Farm." She
said it was the most beau-
tiful place ever. Katie was
born and raised in Scotland
where she worked three
years to raise the money
for her passage to Ameri-
ca. Grannie Abraham was
Laura's grandmother.
Now we see where
Laura got her roots. Lau-
ra loved living on the farm
she referred to as "Abra-
ham Acres." Just like her
grandmother before her,
Laura had a big heart
and mothered and grand-
mothered many besides
her own.
I have a personal mem-
ory of Laura. My son Tra-
vis and her grandson Syd
were classmates in high
school. One day at lunch,
sitting across from each
other, they became in-
volved in what seemed to
be a disagreement over
pudding, which of course
if you are a teenage boy,
could only be solved by a
food fight. They were both
expelled.
Laura and I talked and
we both were so frustrated.
Knowing our boys, we felt
that being expelled was
actually rewarding them.
Since neither cared much
about being in school, it
would only serve to encour-
age them in their bad be-
havior. We talked about it
and hatched a plan, which
we took to Grant Sanders.
The idea was that, in-
stead of kicking them out
of school for a few days,
they should be made to at-
tend school and we (Laura
and I) would attend every
class and sit with them in-
cluding lunch in the lunch-
room. Grant liked the idea,
so Laura and I got to go
back to school. Once the
initial ribbing took place
the boys both adjusted,
shrugged their shoulders
and went on with it. Laura
and I had the joy of sitting
through class after class.
For me it was dj vu. I
was once again in civics
class with Mr. Doerr and
math with Mr. Jensen.
Not much had changed,
except I used to like school,
and now I was here to help
make sure these boys
didn't goof off again. Well,
Laura and my grand ex-
periment did keep the boys
in school, but had no long-
term effect on their behav-
ior (although they were
never expelled again).
We made it through
and learned our lesson.
We have laughed about
it many times over the
years. Laura has family
and many friends that will
miss her. I can imagine
Laura on the other side,
telling her Scottish grand-
ma Katie all about her be-
loved "Bonnie Brae Farm."
Till we meet again.
Murphey receives
national certification
BY PATTI CARPENTER
NBHH paramedic Scott
Murphey received nation-
al certification after com-
pleting 84 questions on a
special test administered
by the National Registry of
Emergency Medical Techni-
cians (NREMT), testing his
competency as a paramedic.
"The single most im-
portant goal of the Nation-
al Registry of Emergency
Medical Technicians is to
offer assurance that EMS
personnel providing treat-
ment to patients--at their
highest moment of need--
are competent," states the
organization's website.
"I didn't have to do
this for my licensing in the
state of Wyoming. It isn't
required here, but it keeps
me nationally registered so
I can go into another state,
like Montana for example.
SCOTF MURPHEY
It also allows me to cross
state lines in the event
of a disaster," explained
Murphey.
Murphey became a
paramedic in Wyoming in
December of last year.

cardboard challenge, held at the LDS Church Gym
in Lovell.
Kids challenged to think
outside the box at event
PATTI CARPENTER
If you really want to
see. young imaginations
at work, just give a group
of children a pile of card-
board boxes. That's the ba-
sic idea behind the "Glob-
al Cardboard Challenge."
So far, more than 100,000
children from around the
world have participated in
the annual event that gives
children the opportunity to
create anything imaginable
out of simple materials like
cardboard or other recycled
items.
On Tuesday, Oct. 14,
the Head Start and Ear-
ly Head Start programs
hosted a community card-
board challenge at the LDS
Church Gym in Lovell.
Children from the commu-
nity put their heads togeth-
er to turn otherwise dis-
posable items into works
of art. Children of all ages
participated, and even a
few adults were inspired to
show off their creative side.
The Global Cardboard
Challenge was launched in
2012 and is now a popular
annual event across the na-
tion. Inspired by the short
film 'Caine's Arcade' the
Global Cardboard Chal-
lenge is organized by the
Imagination Foundation.
According to its website,
the primary purpose of the
Imagination Foundation is
to celebrate child creativity
and the role communities
can play in fostering it.
