Sage & Snow Garden Club The Sage and Snow Garden Club awarded its first Garden of Beauty Award for 2024 to Brenda Baker and Tony Pratt near Daniel. Their triple-walled polycarbonate Riga greenhouse is brimming with several varieties of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, peas, yellow squash, herbs, as well as marigolds, nasturtiums, and sunflowers. They use large containers of water and automated vents to help regulate the indoor temperature. Inside the greenhouse, Brenda opted to use lick tubs and other containers for growing plants. The potting mix in the containers consists of her homemade compost and biochar, worm castings, and native soil. Each container is linked to an automated irrigation system. Outside the greenhouse in raised beds, Brenda grows cucumbers, asparagus, winter squash, and chives and borage to attract bees. Their home is surrounded by several outdoor beds for growing flowers, including a spectacular variety of colorful columbines. Brenda and Tony make their own biochar using ammonium nitrate (nitrogen) and lump charcoal briquettes. Biochar adds humic acid to the soil, creating a soil activator to energize microbial activity and encourage the uptake of nutrients by plants. They also use vinegar to help break down egg shells into usable calcium for plants. It was a fascinating and enriching field trip to Brenda and Tony’s gardens.
Alberta "AlBe" Korfanta McAndrews passed away on Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 2023, in her home in Pinedale. Alberta was the oldest daughter of Albert "Sunny" and Frances Korfanta, born in Rock Springs, Wyoming and grew up in Pinedale. She attended Pinedale Elementary and High School and continued her education at Loretto Heights College, Denver, CO and the University of Wyoming in Laramie. Growing up in Pinedale and her parents operating the Pinedale Drug, Alberta spent many of her junior high and high school days working behind the soda fountain making malts, shakes and scooping store made ice cream. Married to Edward D. Boone from Frankfort, Kentucky, she and Dan had one son, Danner. Dan passed away in 1974 when Danner was just a young boy and Alberta continued to raise Danner in Pinedale while she taught kindergarten and 2nd grade in the Pinedale Elementary school. She was a devoted mother and caregiver to Danner prior to his death in 2019. Alberta taught kindergarten and 2nd grade in the Pinedale Elementary school for thirty years, starting in 1972 until her retirement in 2002. Her students were from multiple generations of Pinedale residents, it was noted at her retirement that Alberta "gave her heart and soul" to the children of Pinedale. She thoroughly enjoyed the education environment and hosted many holiday parties for her teaching colleagues. A faithful member of Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, she became a Lector and Eucharistic Minister, a member of the Parish Council, served as president of the PCCW, served on the Building Fund committee and many other parish committees and frequently contributed her specialty dishes to church functions. She was always willing to fill a needed void. Following her retirement from teaching Alberta joined a small group of women in Pinedale indulging in all things "sewing", quilting, table runners, wall hangings and numerous other projects. She enjoyed learning and sharing with her sewing friends. Her home was a changing showcase of many of her works, she was always "just because" giving her home a new/different look. Alberta worked for Pinedale Properties which eventually led to her business of Pinedale Properties Caretaking Services. She loved spending time in her yard, planting a variety of colorful flowers and shrubs. Being a long-time member of the Sage and Snow Garden Club, she helped plant many main street flower barrels and helped with the Waterwise garden plot. Alberta loved to cook and try out new recipes, her recipe books noted those that passed her standard. Family and friends will miss the wonderful times as she took on hosting many family holiday dinners with invited guests. Being a bit adventurous Alberta volunteered for alpine skiing events leading up to and during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City. Alberta is survived by three sisters, Fran Korfanta (Pinedale), Karen Korfanta (Heber, UT) and Deanna Larkin (Portland, OR), nephews Kevin Larkin, Tim Larkin (Darla), Sean Larkin (Lindsay) and Michael Larkin (Ashley). She is also survived by nieces, nephews, cousins, and many beloved friends. Alberta was preceded in death by her parents, husband (Dan), son Danner and faithful dog, Tucker.
