Getting Squeezed

Posted by Edith Cook on Saturday, July 2, 2016, In : Reading Life

As you know, I write a weekly column that appears in the two large Wyoming newspapers, the WTE and the CST., and I post these on this website after they have appeared in print. A few months ago,when the WTE along with several smaller Wyoming newspapers, was acquired by APG Media of the Rockies, all local columnists were informed we would no longer be paid for our services. What a way to increase CEO pay! They do, however, continue to pay national columnists, some of whom are no better at writ...

Sneak Preview

Posted by Edith Cook on Sunday, November 1, 2015, In : Reading Life

As promised, a sneak preview of the column I submitted to the editors of Wyoming Tribune Eagle and Casper Star Tribune for this week's publication, likely for Saturday, Nov. 7, 2014. The essay is something of a mixed bag--let's see what headlines the respective editors devise.

Several months have passed without my posting any comments. The truth is, I was very involved in the sale of my home, the building of a new house, and, in between, addressing deferred maintenance on my son & family's vacated home near Vedauwoo. I'm just now coming up for air. Hope to post pics about my new abode, as soon as I figure out how to upload from my phone camera.

Another thing is, writing my weekly column is time-consuming if satisfying. I recently was invited to give a talk in Casper...

Column Writing

Lately the editors of the Casper Star Tribune have been running my columns, even the ones on the perils of climate change. I wonder why this is? Has the editorial board decided it's time to counter the denialists? Or is it due to a change in the Op ED editor? The column that appeared in the WTE on June 19 under "Keep open mind on climate" appeared in the Casper paper on June 21 under "Consider climate change evidence." The former is displayed on this site's WTE page. ...

About Me

Edith Cook

South Of Wheatland In Wyoming

Though I now live in Wyoming, I make frequent return trips to California with visits to travel club members along the way. At home I play classical guitar, enjoy gardening and cooking, and participate in group yoga. Getting together with family and friends is high on my agenda. I value people who write or make music and love it when my adult children and their offspring play their instruments, sing songs with me, or discuss what they read and write. Such gatherings help me cope with the losses in my life, which have been severe. Next year I hope to visit family in Germany.
