Moody out,
Carrizales in
BY JENNIFER BUTLER
Board Chairman Matty Moody and Board Secretary
Karen Sylvester welcomed newly appointed fair board
members Casey Sorenson, Felix Carrizales and Tim Flitner,
along with the new fair manager Deb Schnitzmeier, at the
fair board meeting Monday, Jan. 9.
Before the annual reorganization of the board (election
of officers), Moody read a statement regarding her year as
chairman. She said many members of the community have
said they would like to see the fair return to how it was 30
years ago, but she added that it is impossible because of the
changing of times. But she believes that the fair can and
should be enjoyable for all community members.
She then thanked the service offered by previous board
members Mitch Shelhamer, William Bridges and Alfred An-
derson. She added the board positions are purely volunteer
and serve in what is often a "thankless job." She added dur-
ing the past year the board, along with many members of
the community, had tried their hardest and dedicated time
to creating a successful fair.
Moody said that now with new board members and a
new fair superintendent the focus needs to be placed on the
upcoming fair and establishing trust and teamwork among
the new members.
Moody then nominated Carrizales to replace her as the
chairman. Sylvester then nominated Flitner as the vice-
chairman, Moody nominated Sorenson as the treasurer and
Flitner nominated Moody as the secretary. All nominations
were approved by the board.
The new board did not hesitate to start discussing the
pressing issue the fair board has been facing. According to
Moody the grant application to the Daniels Fund was sub-
mitted on Thursday, Jan. 5, as required. The grant is to
match funds for the consensus block grant to construct an
all-purpose building on the fairgrounds. Big Horn County
Maintenance Supervisor Fred Werner suggested the board
review the plans that were submitted and create a back-up
plan in case the grant was not awarded. According to Wer-
ner, if the grant is not met the consensus block grant fund-
ing could be used for critical maintenance issues, such as
the electricity.
The board agreed to review the plans for the all-purpose
building and to meet with Big Horn County Grant Writer
Maria Eastman to review all possible grants the fair could
be awarded. Flitner said, "To my understanding the money
is there. We just need to go out and get it."
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business Monday, the board moved to keep the
premium bank account with Security State Bank.
The board approved using the Basin Post Office, Fair-
grounds Office and the Basin Republican Rustler as their
sources for public release of information.
The board set the meeting schedule for the year as the
second Monday of the month at 7 p.m. They agreed to elimi-
nate the time change during the summer months.
The board agreed to hold a contest for this year's Big
Horn County Fair theme. Moody said all submissions can
be sent to bhfair@tctwest.net or mailed to the Fair Board Of-
rice. Moody added there are no regulations for the contest.
Wiley to retire, interim plans discussed
BY KARLA POMEROY
After 26 years, Big
Horn County Public Health
Nurse Sue Wiley will be
saying goodbye next month
as she retires.
Wiley told the commis-
sioners last week, "I will
kind of miss it. I always
said I don't want to stay
home and clean, but I have
grandkids to chase and oth-
er family things to do."
She came to the com-
missioners with State
Nurse Supervisor Linette
Johnson of Lander and Pub-
lic Health Nurse supervisor
in Lovell Kimberly Cowan.
"I wanted to provide
contact information for
Linette and Kimberly," Wi-
ley said. "We've been meet-
ing this morning going over
continuity of services for my
upcoming retirement."
She said Cowan will as-
sume some of her duties in
the interim, including su-
pervision of staff and budget
oversight. Cowan will split
time between the Greybull
and Lovell offices until a re-
placement is hired.
Wiley added that she is
going over grant procedures
and reporting requirements
with Cowan and the office
will continue to work with
grants administration.
She said her last work-
ing day will be Feb. 2, but
added that she will be tak-
ing a few weeks off this
month.
Johnson said, "Susan
has been amazing to work
with. Her knowledge she
has shared is amazing. She
has a transition plan well in
place that she has worked
on over the past year."
Johnson then discussed
the process for Wiley's re-
placement. She said all new
employees have to be ap-
proved by the Public Health
Administrator under the
Wyoming Department of
Health and a request to fill
the vacancy has been sub-
mitted. She said she didn't
know how long the process
would take but didn't fore-
see any issues with the re-
quest. She said she hoped
everything would be ready
to begin advertising by the
time Wiley retires.
When asked if the com-
mission could assist the of-
fice in any way, Johnson
said a letter stating how
important the role is in Big
Horn County couldn't hurt.
She said the commis-
sion will be involved in
the hiring process and she
would welcome one or all
three members sitting in on
the interviews when that
time comes. She said inter-
views would be conducted
locally.
Wiley said she will con-
tinue on a volunteer basis
working on emergency pre-
paredness.
Chairman Jerry Ewen
said, "We really appreciate
all you've done for the coun-
ty. It's run so well. There
are never any complaints."
He added, after Wiley com-
plimented her staff, "It's be-
cause of leadership."

50 YEARS AGO
Lovell Chronicle, January 18, 1962
From the Billboard by Bill Schwein-
ler: A friend of mine who was recently
hospitalized says that there are two
things designed to make all patients
think twice before they come back for a
return visit--the fact that they keep the
bedpans in the deep freeze before giv-
ing them to the patient; and the shortie
night gown, a gross affront to human
dignity. He forgot to mention the bill...

Fuller enjoying work with Wyoming
Chiropractic Association
BY DAVID PECK
Lovell chiropractor
Ross Fuller said he has
very much enjoyed his ser-
vice on the board of direc-
tors of the Wyoming Chi-
ropractic Association, to
which he was named at the
association's spring con-
vention last May.
Fuller said the pur-
pose of the WCA is to pro-
mote camaraderie among
members of the profes-
sion, facilitate networking
and work on legislative is-
sues through lobbying and
working with Wyoming leg-
islators.
The WCA also works
with the Wyoming Chiro-
practic Board of Examin-
ers, the appointed body
that approves chiroprac-
tic licenses in the state of
Wyoming and adminis-
ters tests and procedures
to make sure chiropractors
meet state standards.
"We work with the gov-
erning board on issues that
have an effect on the pro-
fession like laws and regu-
lations," Fuller said, noting
that the WCA is working on
new Workman's Camp uti-
lization guidelines - guide-
lines the state uses when a
chiropractor treats a work-
er who has been injured.
The WCA is also work-
ing with the new federal
health care rules and reg-
ulations known as the Pa-
tient Protection and Af-
fordable Care Act to assess
how the act will affect Wy-
oming. The WCA has been
working with Rep. Elaine
Harvey of Lovell and the
House Labor, Health and
Social Services Committee,
which Harvey chairs.
Ross Fuller
Fuller said the WCA
board meets once a month
by telephone conference
call, and gets together as
a board twice a year for a
spring convention and fall
convention.
"We're responsible for
bringing in speakers and
developing continuing ed-
ucation for chiropractors
across the state," Fuller
said.
Fuller is going on 14
years as a chiropractor. He
earned his degree from the
Palmer Chiropractic Col-
lege in Davenport, Iowa,
and practiced in Montana
and Utah before moving to
Wyoming in 2003.
He started a practice
in Cody and also worked at
North Big Horn Hospital,
then opened Yellowstone
Chiropractic in 2005. He
and his wife, Wendy, live in
Cowley with their five chil-
dren.
