Big Horn County Libraries receive $100,000
BY MARLYS GOOD
The Big Horn County
Library Foundation received
a $100,000 check from the
Public Library Endowment
Challenge, as did 22 other
county libraries, after the li-
braries had raised a cumu-
lative $2.3 million and met
the incentive of the Public
Challenge.
Funds earned as inter-
est from this endowment
can be used by the library's
foundations for any purpose:
collection development, pro-
gramming, equipment, staff-
ing and beyond.
In a release on Dec.
9, Gov. Dave Freudenthal
called the endeavor "re-
markably successful' and
commended the libraries for
working together,
The Wyoming Library
Endowment Challenge, es-
tablished by the Wyoming
Legislature in 2008, re-
quired each county to secure
$10,000, after which the
BHC Library Endowment
Challenge would be enti-
tled to three 3-1 matching
funds. The challenge was
for Big Horn County to raise
$100,000 before 2013 - all of
which would be eligible for
the match.
Carolyn Walton, presi-
dent of the BHC Library
Foundation Board of Di-
rectors, explained, "This
$100,000 is similar to a bo-
nus the Legislature add-
ed onto the original match-
ing funds challenge. The
Foundation here in Big
Horn County is continuing
its work toward the goal of
every dollar earned up to
$100,000 will be matched by
$3."
The Foundation began
its official campaign just a
year ago in November; so
far donations have totaled
$33,000. 'ro think that in
this length of time over
$30,000 had been donated,
and in this economy, it is as-
tounding," Walton said.
Becky Hawkins, direc-
tor of the Big Horn County
Library, said, "We need to
thank the Legislature of the
State of Wyoming for this
great opportunity for the
future of all libraries." Re-
ferring to donations for the
Challenge, Hawkins said,
"We are so thankful to all of
our Big Horn County donors
and their willingness to sup-
port our libraries. They are
reinforcing how important
libraries are to the commu-
nities in Big Horn County."
If you would like to make
a donation to the Founda-
tion, it can be sent to: Big

Hawley excited to be working in District 1
BY KARLA POMEROY
Burlington hired Hans
Hawley of Lovell as its new
7-12 Engish teacher. Haw-
ley replaces Judy Morgan,
who died suddenly on Dec.
16.
Hawley began duties
when school resumed after
Christmas break on Jan.
3. He is a 1992 graduate
of Lovell High School and
earned his bachelor's de-
gree from Brigham Young
University in history and
English with a teaching
endorsement in Spanish.
He later earned a master's
degree in administration
and school leadership from
Portland State University.
Following his gradua-
tion from BYU he and his
family moved to Oregon
where he taught in the
Tillamook school system for
seven years.
In the summer of 2009
the Hawleys moved back to
Big Horn County to be near
his folks in Lovell. They
purchased a home this sum-
mer in Lovell.
He said he has been
working as an English Sec-
KARLA POMEROY
Bmqington's new English teacher Hans Hawley
ond Language paraprofes-
sional in Powell waiting for
the right teaching position
to open up. He had applied
for a job in Big Horn Coun-
ty School District No. 1 a
few years prior and he said
his application was still on
file.
After Mrs. Morgan's
death, the district called to
see if he'd be interested in
applying. He was.
"I've always wanted to
work in this district. I've
always heard great things
about Burlington -- nothing
negative," Hawley said.
The district has the op-
tion of extending Hawley's
contract at the end of the
year, or opening up the po-
sition again. "I'm thrilled
to be here and I look for-
ward to many years here, if
they'll have me," he said.
Coming in the middle
of the year has been a chal-
lenge, requiring a lot of prep
work, Hawley said, but the
teaching portion has been
easy. "The students here
are easy to teach. I love be-
ing with kids."
Hawley said he is firm
but fair and tries to make
learning fun. "I push hard.
I push the students to work
hard and achieve. Educa-
tion opens doors to life and
I want the kids to follow
their potential," he said.
Hawley and his wife,
Emilie, a nurse at North
Big Horn Hospital in
Lovell, have five children
-- Daniel, 10; Hannah, 9;
Benjamin, 7; Jonathan, 5;
and Levi, 3.
