This is the fourth in a series on
new residents of Westby:
Mike and Shannon (Johnson)
Gebhardt have made Westby their
home since December of 2007 when Mike took on the duties of
head custodian at Westby School.
Shannon, the daughter of Westby
residents, Clifford and Teresa
Johnson, is a 1991 graduate of
WHS and happy to once again be
in Westby Ranger country.
Mike, born and raised in Rapid
City, South Dakota, graduated in
1992 and attended Wyoming
Technical School. Mike has worked construction since 1994,
most recently as a foreman for a commercial construction com-
pany in Denver, Colorado. Upon graduation, Shannon attended
Eastern Montana College for two years and then on to Interna-
tional Air Academy in Vancouver, Washington for a year. Shannon has worked in the travel agency business much of the
time since then. She continues as a corporate travel agent for
Casto Travel and works from her new home in Westby.
Mike and Shannon married in 2003 and have two children,
three year old, Cole, and five -month old, Rylie Rose. While
Mike enjoys fishing and hunting, he has been very busy doing
any number of carpentry projects around town which he is very
adept at. As a young mother, Shannon’s hobbies are limited
right now, but she does enjoy scrapbooking and decorating
when time allows her.
Cole loves horses and is
happy to be here so he can drive
by Ron Nelson’s several times a
day to see all the horses close
up. He also loves to visit the elevator with Grandpa Clifford
to see Danny, “the sucker man”.
He goes to preschool once a
week and is looking forward to
being a pirate on Halloween
while Rylie Rose will be con-
tent to stay home and hand out
candy on her first Halloween.
The Gebhardts see the move to Westby as a positive one.
For one thing, Mike no longer has a 70 mile commute one way
from their former home in Loveland to Denver every day to
work. Also, the city was just getting too big and both Mike and
Shannon felt it would be better to get back to a smaller commu-
nity with home town values. It also doesn’t hurt to have
Grandpa and Grandma around to help out and both now feel
fortunate their children have the luxury of growing up with
family so close. Whatever the reason, Westby welcomes Shan-
non and her family home with open arms.

Boy, oh boy! Where did October go? Mine went
to California, western Montana and back to reality.
Needless to say, it has been great, but I’ve been play-
ing catch up ever since, so I do apologize for the late
issue. Due to the timing of this issue, the next two
month’s papers will be published on the second and
fourth weeks and that will put us up to the New Year
where I will try to get back on schedule.
I know you are dying to hear all about my trip to
California, my Grandson in particular. Of course, it
goes without saying, he is handsome, smart as a whip
and loves his Grandma and PaPa. We celebrated
Colton’s first birthday with a little barbeque with
friends and the neighbors. The balloons were the
biggest hit and his first taste of cake wasn’t bad ei-
ther. He is such a happy and content little boy it
really was such a treat to care for him while his Mom
and Dad worked and had a little time to themselves.
We miss him already and his Mom and Dad, too, but
will see them again at Christmas. From California
we ventured to Seeley Lake, Montana, for a wed-
ding. Carlee Leininger, daughter of former Westby
residents Shirlee (Petersen) & Lynn Leininger, was
married at Double Arrow Ranch and it was beautiful
(both she and the area). We were happy it worked
out for us to attend.
Once we were home it was back to reality with all
the things fall brings: hunting, hunters, the bazaar,
and my dear friend, Connie, leaving me for the win-
ter. Danny’s nephews and buddies and great-
nephews were here for their annual hunting trip
when we got home. They all hail from the Denver
area and are such a great bunch of guys. They all
truly appreciate the whole community and the fact
they are welcomed with open arms, not only by the
businesses, but also by the landowners. They are
very respectful of the land and to the landowners and
thus have a great relationship and nothing but good
to say about our community. Kind of nice to report
with some of the horror stories out there about the
hunters.
My walking buddy, Connie left me for the winter
and I really, really miss her when she is gone. She
and Hugh are off to Mesa for the winter and I wish
them a safe trip and healthy winter. One thing about
it, the next thing I know, the baby irises will be peek-
ing out and I’ll be getting a call, “Are you ready to
walk in the morning?” I’ll be waiting.
The bazaar will probably be over as you read this,
but the Lion’s Club bake and craft sale has been
scheduled for November this year so I hope everyone
finds time to support this worthwhile cause in some
way. They have struggled to find a time that doesn’t
conflict with school and other functions thus the
change in date. Mark your calendars for November
15th and get started on that Christmas list.
Speaking of fall, nothing represents it like pump-
kins and squash. Like asparagus in spring, berries in
the summer, and cranberries in winter, the first sight
of them in the stores brings a smile to my face and
conjures up thoughts that have been tucked away
since the previous season. We’ve had our fill of zuc-
chini and yellow summer now we can move on to the
wonderful fall varieties. Squash is so simple to pre-
pare and very versatile.
Westby Border News Volume 3 Issue 61 Page 5

One of my favorite varieties is spaghetti. Yes, as its
name states, it can be used to replace pasta with your
favorite sauce on it, but it is so good just baked and
shredded with a little butter and lots of parmesan.
Buttercup and acorn are the most readily available
varieties here and both are very good baked with a
little butter and brown sugar or cubed and roasted
with olive oil. This time of year I enjoy squash soup.
Squash soup seems so seasonal I never think of it
until I’m at the store and the aisles are brimming
with the many available varieties. This recipe calls
for butternut, but I subbed in buttercup. The cayenne
pepper gives it the perfect kick.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP 6 T chopped onion
4 T margarine
6 cups peeled and cubed Butternut squash (I used
buttercup squash)
3 cups water
4 cubes chicken bouillon
½ t dried marjoram
¼ t black pepper
1/8 t cayenne pepper
2 (8oz) cream cheese
In a large saucepan, sauté onions in margarine until
tender. Add squash, water, bouillon, marjoram,
black and cayenne pepper. Bring to boil; cook 20
minutes or until squash is tender. Puree squash and
cream cheese in a blender in batches until smooth.
Return to saucepan, and heat through. Do not allow
to boil. Serves 6.
As I mentioned baked or roasted squash is a great
side for many entrees. Here is a simple, basic recipe
that can be made ahead of time and reheated before
serving.
ROASTED ACORN SQUASH with
CINNAMON BUTTER 2 acorn squash, unpeeled, quartered lengthwise, and
seeded
1 T olive oil
4 T butter
1/8 t cinnamon
Coarse salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking
sheet, toss squash with oil; season with salt and pep-
per. Arrange on sheet, cut side down, and roast until
easily pierced with a paring knife, 35-45 minutes. In
a small saucepan, melt butter over medium, stirring
until golden brown 4 to 6 minutes. Immediately
pour into a small bowl; stir in cinnamon. Place
squash on a serving platter, top with cinnamon but-
ter. Serves 8.
ENJOY FALL!
LIFE IS GOOD!

One Night in a Bad Inn by Christy Leskovar
Hostess: Shari Olson
To kick start the 08-09 year of the Westby Book Club, mem-
bers met to discuss the nonfiction work by Christy Leskovar. The settings of this 570 page book literally span the globe from
a homestead near Forsyth, Montana to the bloody battlefields of
WWI to end up back in the rough and tumble city of Butte, MT.
Leskovar’s story of her maternal great-grandparents and grand-
parents truly had a little something for every reader.
The story comes alive through the eyes of Leskovar’s grand-
mother, Aila. She truly led an almost unbelievable life. During
her early years, Aila is forced to accompany her siblings to the
state orphanage in Twin Bridges, MT when her mother is jailed
on murder charges following the suspicious death of Aila’s
father when their home burned down on their ranch outside of Forsyth. Without giving away too many details of the plot, the
circumstances of his “death” are very interesting.
Following Aila’s stay in the state run orphanage, she spends her
adolescent years in Butte, where she meets her future husband
Peter. Before Peter and Aila marry, he is shipped off to the
European fronts of WWI. While there, he becomes a highly
decorated American soldier. The author follows her grandfa-
ther’s trek across the battlefields of Europe. During this portion
of the book, I felt the author became bogged down in too much
historical detail of WWI. But if you like WWI history, you will enjoy this chunk of Leskovar’s literary work.
The rest of this impressive tome follows the life of Peter and
Aila as they fought to raise a family in the Butte, MT during the
first half the 20th Century. Just like the city of Butte itself, their
life was always interesting but never easy. Reading about Butte
during its mining heyday will fascinate any reader.
Leskovar’s book reads like a historical thriller, which makes it
all the better because it is the fascinating, true account of the
lives of her family members. It was recommended by all in
attendance at the September book club gathering.
THANK YOU Thank you-Bruce, Lance, Marty & families for put-
ting on a party for us on our 50th wedding anniver-
sary. Also, thanks to Marlene and Dale for the corsages, beautiful centerpiece & balloons. The
Prairie Kitchen, for the wonderful supper. Carrie, for
the beautiful cake. Thanks to the people for the pre-
sents, phone calls & cards that we received from eve-ryone.
Richard & Renetta Westgard
THANK YOU We would like to thank everyone who sent cards, flow-
ers, food, or those who telephoned or visited after we lost
our Mom. Special thanks to Pastors Greg, Ben, and Barb for their assistance with her service. Our thanks to Dr.
Stoner and hospital staff and David and Jane Fulk-
erson. Thank you to all our friends and family who
helped and supported us. The Family of Louise Nordhagen

great “listener,” never forgot a birthday or
anniversary, and worked as a Senior Companion,
including driving for people who couldn’t, and
loved caring for people in any way she could. She
was a member of the Sheridan County Council on
Aging, and loved to give haircuts and permanents
for family and friends. She and her son, Mark,
were among the most faithful fans of Westby High

“If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It's a time of year when the leaves are down and the
harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the
drapes on another year and it's time to reflect on what's come before. “
Mitchell Burgess
