Byron news
Mayor Meier seeking second term
GARY GRUELL
548-222O
It is official. Mayor Mil-
ton Meier has submitted his
application for nomination
seeking a second term. Tom
Langston has publicly an-
nounced he will run for one
of the two open positions on
the town council.
Anyone interested in
serving the community by
running for one of the three
positions must submit an
application for nomination.
The application is available
at the Secretary of State
Web site at http://soswy.
state.wy.us. Vicky at town
hall is available to provide
assistance. The time frame
for applying is relatively
short. Applications must
be filed prior to the 28th of
May along with the $25 fil-
ing fee.
Mike Alexander of
Farmers Exchange Group
is trying to reduce the fire
rating for the town of By-
ron. Byron does not have a
fire district, therefore the
Insurance Service Office
(ISO) has rated Byron a 10,
which is the highest rating.
Any homeowner knows that
this rating results in the
maximum insurance pre-
mium.
The ISO determines the
rating based on the average
response time and distance
for a given area. By con-
tract, the Big Horn County
Fire Protection District No.
1, located in Lovell, has pro-
vided fire protection to By-
ron for many years and has
done a "knockout"job. Their
response time for Byron is
right at 10 minutes.
The ISO rating of one
is based on a five-mile radi-
us and 10-minute response
time. With that in mind, it
is understandable that By-
ron should be rated higher
than a "one" but the "10"
rating is way out of line. If
Alexander is successful, the
town of Byron and its resi-
dents could see a significant
decrease in insurance pre-
miums.
The monthly Mayor's
Luncheon will be held Fri-
day, May 14, from 11:30
a.m. to 1 p.m. The free
event is open to the pub-
lic. The luncheon is an ex-
cellent way to mingle with
friends, make new acquain-
tances and enjoy free food.
The Local Emergency
Planning Committee for
Big Horn County will hold
their monthly meeting at
the town complex on May
27 at 7 p.m. The meetings
are alternated from the
south end to the north end
of the county.
RMHS will have their
last commencement ceremo-
ny in Byron on May 25. It is
commonly known that the
school facility will be closed
at the end of the school year
and the high school will be
moving into the new 6-12
facility in Cowley.
Graduating seniors
from Byron are Samantha
Alvarez (Carrizal), Eliz-
abeth Gurrola, Andrew
Palmer, Joshua Pingle-
ton, Jeff Sanders and Ka-
cee Thompson. Congratu-
lations to them. Although
we have many students at-
tending school in Lovell, I
am not aware of any seniors
this year.
The regular town coun-
cil meeting was to be held
Tuesday, May l l. The reg-
ular meeting start time
has been changed back to
7 p.m. with a work meet-
ing at 6. This time frame is
now year-round. Highlights
of this meeting will be ad-
dressed in next week's col-
umn.
As always, have a great
and safe week.
