Utah, Idaho and Montana
have already expressed in-
terest, and he is expecting
a large turnout of local ath-
letes, too.
To accommodate the
larger group, Zeller said he
plans to stagger the swim
start to allow a bit more el-
bowroom for the swimmers
at the start of the race. He
is also planning to rope off
the transition area so that
spectators don't get in the
way of the triathletes as
they switch gear and tran-
sition from one leg of the
race to the next.
The event will include
divisions for men, women
and individual youth, as
well as teams for adults

The Lovell Mustangs
opened the 2012 sea-
son with a Memorial Day
split in Sheridan Monday
against the Sheridan Jets.
Things were rocky for
the Mustangs early in game
one as the Jets plated 14
first-inning runs against
Lovell pitchers Alex Con-
nour, Jacob Adey and Dil-
lon Pickett.
Lovell cut into the-lead
with four runs in the top
of the second as Jesse Bas-
sett, Brandon Dickson and
Dillon Pickett singled and
scored and Connour walked
and scored. But Sheridan
added two runs in the sec-
ond and three in the third
to lead 19-4 before Lovell
added three in the fifth to
make the final score 19-7.
Daniel Call, Bassett and
Dickson singled and scored
in the final frame.
Pickett pitched the rest
of the game for the Mus-
tangs after taking over in
the first.
Steven Pickett, Dillon
Pickett, Kyle Peterson and
Dickson each had two hits
in the game for the Mus-
tangs.
Things went much bet-
ter for the Mustangs in
game two as they banged
out 21 hits and received a
solid pitching performance
from Steven Pickett in a
15-3 victory.
Sheridan got to Pickett
for three runs in the bottom
of the first inning, but the
veteran blanked the Jets
over the next five innings.
Meanwhile, the Lovell of-
fense heated up and scored
one run in the second, three
in the third, four in each
the fourth and fifth and
three more in the sixth.
Steven and Dillon Pick-
ett, Kyle Peterson, Nathan
Ballard and Call each had
three hits in the game.

Hospital continues to search for new CFO
BY PATTI CARPENTER
The North Big Horn
Hospital District board
held its regular meeting on
May 15. Human resourc-
es director Barb Shumway
reported that the Chief Fi-
nancial Officer position has
been re-advertised, seek-
ing a person with a strong
healthcare background.
The position will become
vacant as Daphne Hartman
retires this summer. Shum-
way also reported positions
open for EMT, CAN/Elder
Assistant, LPN and Activi-
ties Aide. Carol Rasmus-
sen also retired at the end
of April after 27 years with
the hospital's business of-
fice.
CEO Rick Schroeder re-
ported that he is continu-
ing to review and develop
strategies for reduction in
Medicaid costs in prepara-
tion for a meeting he is in-
vited to attend with the leg-
islative health committee in
September. Schroeder and
other hospital administra-
tors were invited to share
their ideas for cost-saving
measures that could help
reduce the cost of the Med-
icaid program at the meet-
ing.
He also reported that
he has narrowed the search
for CT scanner and that he
expects the purchase to cost
far less than the amount
he was authorized to spend
at the last meeting. He is
waiting for final bids from
two major suppliers before
making his decision. The
new scanner is expected to
produce less radiation and
improve efficiency.
Manager Traci Harri-
son reported an average of
76 patients at the New Ho-
rizons Care Center and an
average of seven residents
in the assisted living area.
She also reported that the
job pool is becoming limited
for certain positions, espe-
cially CNAs.
The board met in ad-
vance of the meeting to re-
view a tentative budget
with CFO Daphne Hart-
man. The budget was not
passed during the meeting
and will be presented again
at a future meeting.
Board members dis-
cussed a hospital associa-
tion educational program?
for board members. Some
expressed the need for fur-
ther education, while oth-
ers expressed their concern
for any mandatory require-
ments for board members to
attend additional meetings.
The hospital board
meeting will be held on
June 19 in the administra-
tive meeting room at the
hospital.
