RECYCLING PAYS
Celebrating Earth Day each year has given me the impetus to be very concerned environmentally. It all began, to my best recollection, when I was in the first grade, and there was a war effort due to the start of World War II. We were bringing metal cans, which were washed and labeled. Both ends were removed from the cans, then they were flattened. My family had good times doing this, carrying them and all newspapers to the building behind our school for pickup by the dray line in our small town and transported out of state by train.

Autumn Messer

Abbey Messer and her husband, Marty, who is a KEM Electric Cooperative lineworker, both enjoy the outdoors, having grown up on farms and ranches. Now, the two are raising their two children – Autumn, 3, and Calder, almost 2 – to appreciate that same rural lifestyle.

The Messers live in rural Tappen, where they have chickens, goats, bottle calves, dogs and cats, and tend to a large garden. The kids have their own strawberry patch and enjoy chasing after their chickens.

Abbey, who grew up in Thompson Falls, Mont., says she loves where their feet are planted.
