8 I The Lovell Chronicle I March 7, 2013
Anthony Estes of Deaver placed first in the high school division at the Stars of
Tomorrow competition held in Powell recently.
Citizens interested in
helping in an emergency
are encouraged to sign up
for a Community Emer-
gency Response Training
course in Lovell.
Sponsored by Big Horn
County Emergency Man-
agement, the CERT course
will be held every Tues-
day from March 19 through
April 30 at the Big Horn
County Annex in Lovell.
Each class is scheduled to
run from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Big Horn County Emer-
gency Management Coor-
dinator John Hyde said
CERT is deigned to build
up a community emergency
response corps in the event
of a major emergency when
first responders may be
overwhelmed.
"Following a major di-
saster, first responders who
provide fire and medical
services will not be able to
meet the demand for these
services," Hyde said. "Fac-
tors such as number of vic-
tims, communication fail-
ures and road blockages
will prevent people from ac-
cessing emergency services
they have come to expect at
a moment's notice through
911. People will have to rely
on each other for help in or-
der to meet their immediate
life saving and life sustain-
ing needs.
"One also expects that,
under these kinds of condi-
tions, family members, fel-
low employees and neigh-
bors will spontaneously try
to help each other. This was
the case following the Mex-
ico City earthquake where
untrained, spontaneous vol-
unteers saved 800 people.
However, 100 people lost
their lives while attempting
to save others. This is a high
price to pay and is prevent-
able through training."
Topics during the course
will include disaster pre-
paredness, fire safety and
how to suppress small fires,
triage, treating basic inju-
ries, conducting light search
and rescue operations,
CERT organization, disas-
ter psychology, terrorism
and disaster simulation.
' rou can be taught how
to prepare yourself and your
family for a disaster, some
very basic firefighting skills,
disaster first aid, search and
rescue techniques, dealing
with the psychological side
of disasters and terrorism,"
Hyde said.
For more information
call Hyde at 548-2516 or
307-254-4967 or Dennis
Woodward at 548-2409 or
272-7073.
Pre-registration is re-
quired, and the deadline is
March 10, Hyde said.
BY PATTI CARPENTER
Anthony Estes of
Deaver took top honors at
the Stars of Tomorrow com-
petition sponsored by the
Powell Kiwanis Club in
Powell on Friday, Feb. 22.
Estes, 17, won first place in
the high school age group
division by performing his
own composition entitled
"Temptation" on the piano.
The Rocky Mountain High
School sophomore said the
sounds in the piece remind-
ed him of a battle between
good and evil, so he named
the piece accordingly.
Estes was inspired to
learn the piano at age 7 af-
ter hearing his older sis-
ter Malerie play. He began
composing his own music at
age 12 and has written nu-
merous pieces since then.
Estes said he sees the com-
petitions as a valuable way
to get feedback about his
music.
He plans to study mu-
sic in college and would
like to compose music for
the movies someday. His
win at the Powell compe-
tition makes him eligible
to compete in Buffalo later
this month.
Addison and Ashley
Aagard of Lovell performed
a vocal duet of "Vivo Per
Lei." The pair won third
place for their performance
in the high school age
division.
Alexis Minemyer of
Byron placed third in the
grades 3 - 5 category for
her dance performance in
a group with several girls
from Powell to the song
"Shake a Tail Feather."
Stetson Asay, Kiara
Jolley and Serrentity Zin-
gelwicz, all of Lovell, per-
formed in the kindergar-
ten through second grade
class. Although the class is
not judged, the young per-
formers received a medal
for their performance.
County to look at expanding solid waste board
BY KARLA POMEROY
The mayors of the coun-
ty's three largest municipal-
ities came to the Big Horn
County Commissioners two
weeks ago to seek repre-
sentation on the Big Horn
County Solid Waste Board.
Basin Mayor Amy
Kania said they are here
to make sure they have a
"place at the table" with the
solid waste board. She said
they would like to have the
board membership expand-
ed by two to have a north
and south member.
She said state statute
allows up to nine members
and there are currently five
members.
"We attend the meet-
ings, but to have direct rep-
resentation would be more
beneficial," Kania said.
Commissioner Keith
Grant said there is like-
ly some process that they
would have to go through
to expand the board. Chair-
man Jerry Ewen said they
could direct the county at-
torney's office to look into
the process.
Greybull Mayor Bob
Graham said, "Amy and
I have had a lot of discus-
sion about this and felt
we weren't very well rep-
resented, especially being
the major supporters of the
landfill."
The board is ap-
pointed by. the county
commissioners.
Lovell mayor Bruce
Morrison said he is in favor
of having representation on
the board. "We're not really
disgruntled, we just feel we
need to be part of the discus-
sion of what's going to hap-
pen with our landfill."
He added that they
know changes are coming
and it's better if they are
part of. the discussion.
Grant said, "Garbage is
becoming a bigger and big-
ger issue and the more help
we can get the better."
Kania said Mondays are
the big trash days in Basin
and they take three to four
trips to the landfill. Graham
said Greybull picks up dai-
ly and takes about two trips,
except Friday.
The commissioners
agreed by consensus to have
the county attorney's office
research the procedure.
