Possible N RA grant for range
viewed by Byron Town Council
BY BOB RODRIGUEZ
A planned presenta-
tion before the Byron Town
Council meeting by a Na-
tional Rifle Association rep-
resentative misfired due
to his being snowbound
in Newcastle on Tuesday
night, Jan. 14.
However, Mayor Pam
Hopkinson stated that a
special meeting will be held
to include an NRA program
about helping the town es-
tablish a shooting range.
The date will be announced.
Plans for the range are op-
posed by some. Several citi-
zens who came Tuesday left
the council chamber when
advised that the NRA talk
was postponed.
The possibility of gain-
ing an NRA grant of ap-
proximately $20,000 led to
the council tacitly giving
Hopkinson the OK to ex-
pend $475 for Sherri Rag-
ath, president of the By-
ron Recreation Department
Board of Directors, to reg-
ister for the March 15-18
NRA Range Development
& Operations Conference in
New Orleans, La. She will
pay for her airline tickets,
accommodations and meals.
Presentations on range de-
velopment will be given by
America's top experts, ac-
cording to NRA's website,
and conference material
will be provided.
The wide-ranging top-
ics overall are aimed at en-
suring that "the public has
a safe and convenient place
to shoot in order to exercise
their Second Amendment
rights," NRA said.
The council is aware of
a State of Wyoming grant,
also for some $20,000, that
might be obtained in con-
nection with the proposed
range.
However, Councilor
Sydney Hessenthaler noted
that only one of the grants
can be obtained per year.

Interviews next week for new ag educator
BY KARLA POMEROY
Interviews for a new
University of Wyoming Co-
operative Extrension Ser-
vice ag educator for Big
Horn County will be Jan.
23.
County Extension Co-
ordinator and 4-H Educa-
tor Gretchen Gasvoda told
the commissioners at the
Jan. 7 meeting that UW is
finishing the review process
and determining how many
candidates to interview.
"We've had a good pool
of candidates. There's some
great candidates and our
county should have a great
ag educator in the next
month or two," Gasvoda
said.
She said advertising
will begin in April for the
secretary position.
The position is being
advertised with the coun-
ty having the contract
changed to make the em-
ployee a University of Wyo-
ming CES employee rather
than a county employee, al-
though the county will help
fund the position.
In other Extension
news, Gasvoda said she is
already over budget with
the purchase at the start of
the fiscal year in July of a
new copy machine that was
not included in the budget.
She said overtime during
fair week has also made
the budget about $8,000 to
$10,000 over.
Chairman Jerry Ewen
asked them to watch the
budget but noted the coun-
ty could not leave the bud-
get "in the red" at the end
of the fiscal year.

Fight the Flu
Influenza is a community
acquired respiratory illness
caused by a group of influ-
enza viruses. It causes a mild
to severe illness, depending
on the individual.Though
rare, it can cause death.
Symptoms usually begin
suddenly, progress rapidly,
but the recovery period can last
days to weeks.
Flu symptoms consist of fever, although Richard Jay, MD
not always, cough, sore throat, runny nose,
congestion, muscle and body aches, headache, and/or fatigue.
Some people, usually the very young or very old, may experience
diarrhea and/or vomiting.
Influenza complications range from mild to life threatening,
such as pneumonia, bronchitis and ear infections. The young
and elderly are at higher risk. Influenza can also make conditions
worse for those with chronic illness. Those with COPD, or CHF, are
at higher risk for pulmonary complications and death.
Prevention is difficult due to the fact that individuals can
spread the virus even before they are aware that they are infected.
The universal precautions of good hand washing and covering
your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough are paramount.
Avoidance of crowds and people that are known to be ill is also
advised unless one is willing to wear a mask and wash carefully.
Of course everyone who does not have a contraindication to the
immunizations should get a flu shot.
Who Should get Vaccinated?
The CDC says that while everyone should get a flu vaccine
each flu season, it's especially important that the following groups
get vaccinated either because they are at high risk of having seri-
ous flu-related complications or because they live with or care for
people at high risk for developing flu-related complications:
1. Pregnant women
2. Children younger than 5, but especially children younger
than 2 years old
3. People 50 years of age and older
4. People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions
5. People who live in nursing homes and other long-term
care facilities
6. People who live with or care for those at high risk for
complications from flu, including:
1. Health care workers
2. Household contacts of persons at high risk for
complications from the flu
3. Household contacts and out of home caregivers
of children less than 6 months of age (these
children are too young to be vaccinated)
Who Should Not get Vaccinated?
The following people should not get a flu vaccine without first
consulting a physician.
People who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs.
People who have had a severe reaction to an influenza vaccination.
People who developed Guillain-Barr syndrome (GBS)
within 6 weeks of getting an influenza vaccine.
Children less than 6 months of age (influenza vaccine is not
approved for this age group), and
People who have a moderate-to-severe illness with a fever
(they should wait until they recover to get vaccinated.)
Possible Vaccine Side Effects
The viruses in the flu shot are killed (inactivated), so you can-
not get the flu from a flu shot. Some minor side effects that could
occur are soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given,
a low grade fever, or aches. If these problems occur, they begin
soon after the shot and usually last only a day or two. Almost
all people who receive an influenza vaccine have no serious
problems from it. However, on rare occasions, flu vaccination can
cause serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions.
North Big Horn Hospital Clinic still has flu vaccine available
for $20 and no appointment is needed for adults,
