CAN YOU HELP?
My name is Aly. In 1973 I knew a young man, John Ray Taylor, who lived in Murray. One night he was riding with his friend, Larry Hunter, when sadly, they became involved in an accident with a truck and John was killed. The girl that was with Larry was also killed as a result of the accident.
Does anyone remember John? I would really like a picture of him, if that is possible, since it's been such a long time. I know his mother worked at the dime store when we were dating and his brother's name was Leonard Taylor, I think. If anyone remembers him and could help me locate his family and/or a picture of him, I would be eternally grateful.
Please send your information to Editor@MurrayNebraska.com and it will be forwarded to me.
Thank you!
RECYCLE!

HAPPY PAWS AND PETS AT THE PUMPKIN PATCH
Seventh-Annual "Doggy Day" Planned at
Bloom Where You're Planted Farm
On Saturday, October 5th, Bloom Where You're Planted Farm is going to the dogs for an event to benefit Happy Paws Animal Advocacy and the Plattsmouth Animal Shelter.
Farm owners Terry and Teresa Lorensen are inviting visitors to bring their canine companions to the farm for a day of exercise and exciting farm sights and smells. Doggy admission is $5.00 and all doggy admission proceeds will be donated to the Plattsmouth Animal Shelter and Happy Paws, a pet advocacy group that supports the shelter. Donation jars will be in place so that even those who don't bring a dog can still participate.
Volunteers from the organizations will be on-site throughout the day with literature and pets which can be adopted from the shelter.
"Many of the animals we have here at the farm, including our dogs and cats, have been adopted, and we want to help other animals who need new homes," said Teresa Lorensen. "It's a cause we care a lot about."

Black Hills Energy Nebraska Annual Price Option
No one can say for sure what the future price of natural gas will be since it is a commodity and its price can change due to supply, demand and other market conditions. Nebraska customers of Black Hills Energy who like the Annual Price Option natural gas price can lock it in for one year by signing up for Annual Price Option on or before Oct. 10, 2013, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Black Hills Energy purchases a special supply of natural gas for the Annual Price Option program so customers who choose the Annual Price Option billing option will pay that price for natural gas for one year. That's compared to the company's traditional billing rate where the natural gas price fluctuates monthly to reflect market changes in the price of natural gas.
Sign-up by calling 1-800-753-7509 or online at www.annualpriceoption.com.
