Relay for Life:
BY PATTI CARPENTER
Cancer is something
9-year-old Trevor Jewell
has known most of his life.
He was diagnosed with leu-
kemia at age two.
' "When he was growing
up he knew nothing differ-
ent," said his mother, Su-
zette Jewell. "When he
would go out in public he
knew he would have to wear
a mask just because." Jew-
ell was well received by his
peers in spite of the mask,
and his peers were "amaz-
ingly tolerant," according to
his mother, in spite of being
bald from the chemother-
apy treatments he was re-
ceiving.'
"It was a little devas-
tating at first," said Su-
zette Jewell. "I had to take
him to Salt Lake City every
week at first." The young-
er Jewell endured, often-
times painful, chemothera-
py treatments, spinal taps,
and bone marrow tests on
those visits, which contin-
ued for a full three and a
half years. "Cancer just
picks and chooses who it
wants," said Jewell. "It is
very random."
At the hospital, Trev-
or Jewell earned "beads of
courage" from hospital staff
for the painful treatments
he received. He earned a
white bead for every che-

motherapy treatment he re-
ceived, a black bead for ev-
ery poke with a needle and
a lime green bead for other
treatments. Jewell is proud
to own three full strings of
beads from those days at
the hospital and still finds
"We keep them stored
in a special place so they
don't get lost or broken and
Trevor still shares them
with his friends at times,"
said Suzette Jewell.
Trevor plans to partici-
pate in the survivors' walk
at the Relay for Life and
hopes for the honor of car-
rying the survivors' ban-
ner again this year. The
family, including his three
other siblings, also plans
to participate in the team
event.
Trevor is in remis-
sion and has been off che-
motherapy treatments for
three years. He enjoys
baseball, wrestling, soccer,
and most of all enjoys just
being a "normal" kid again.
"He lost so much of his
childhood to this disease,"
said Suzette.
"The thing he loves
most of all right now is to
just play with his friends."
Trevor is a third grade stu-
dent at Lovell Elementary.
This story is the first in
a series of three stories about
cancer survivors in our com-
munity. The Chronicle will
publish a story each week
leading up to the Relay for
Life event scheduled to take
place on July 29, starting at
7 p.m. at Kevin P. Robertson
Stadium at Lovell High School.
Bighorn Canyon National Recreation
Area prepares for high water levels
Bighorn Canyon Nation-
al Recreation Area is prepar-
ing for high water levels on
both Bighorn Lake and the
Bighorn River throughout
July. Please keep in mind
the following predictions
are subject to change due to
weather conditions and wa-
ter management decisions.
As you may well know the
area has received record
snowfall and rain this past
winter and spring and as
a result runoff is at record
levels. Lake levels are ex-
pected to reach the upper
end of the flood pool on Big-
horn Lake. This will mean
that many docks and camp-
grounds will be inaccessi-
ble until lake levels drop.
The lake level is expect-
ed to peak at about 3655
ft sometime around July
15th and may well continue
at high levels throughout
the month. The following
is a status of campgrounds
on Bighorn Lake:
There is the possibility of a
closure of the Black Canyon
campground due to flood-
ed campsites starting this
coming weekend of July
9th-10th, and continuing
until further notice. Please
check with a ranger or at
the park visitor center for
an update.
The docks and floating
restrooms in Black Canyon
will still be accessible.
Dayboard 9 visitor use
area will most likely be ac-
cessible throughout this
high water event: Medi-
cine Creek campground is
closed.
River flows are cur-
rently at 8,500 cfs but are
expected to increase after
this weekend and may ex-
ceed 10,000 cfs for the en-
tire month of July. Please
use caution when launch-
ing and retrieving boats
at the river launch sites.
Please re-use and recycle
The Kevin P. Robertson Memorial Stadium was ablaze with luminarias during last year's Relay for Life
event.
FifthAnnual Relay for Life organizers
ready to light up the night July 29
BY PATTI CARPENTER
Organizers of the Fifth
Annual Relay for Life plan
to have the lights shine
bright at this year's fund-
raiser for the American
Cancer Society. The event,
which will take place on,
Friday, July 29, at Kevin
P. Robertson Memorial Sta-
dium, starting at 7 p.m.,
features a beautiful dis-
play of candle-lit luminar-
ias to honor those who have
won and some who have
lost their battle with can-
cer. Luminarias are small
paper bags filled with sand
and one strategically placed
votive candle. When lit, the
bags create a lantern effect.
Festivities begin with a
flag ceremony and the na-
tional anthem performed
by Rachel and Randy Cart-
er of Lovell. Shortly after-
ward as many as 75 can-
cer survivors will walk one
lap around the track while
Lovell Elementary School
teacher Chauna Bischoff
leads her 4th-5th grade stu-
dents in a series of inspira-
tional songs. The survivors
lap will be followed by a
caregivers lap to honor those
friends and family members
who supported the cancer
survivors throughout their
ordeal. Afterward, color-
ful balloons will be released
into the sky.
At approximately 11
p.m. the luminarias will be
lit and will burn throughout
the night as teams of indi-
viduals take turns walking
continuously around the
track until dawn. Through-
out the evening, luminar-
ias strategically placed on
the bleachers will be rear-
ranged to spell out words
like hope, faith, and other
inspirational messages.
"The idea is to have re-
lay team members walk
continuously around the
track all night long as a re-
minder that cancer doesn't
sleep," explained entertain-
ment chairwoman Lorece
Doerr. Other entertain-
ment will include singing,
dancing and instrumental
music by a variety of local
musicians along with Zum-
ba, line dancing and even
Karaoke.
Last year the event
raised close to $36,000. Or-
ganizers hope to match that
amount or raise more this
year to support cancer re-
search. The carnival in-
spired theme of this year's
event is "Life's a Ride" and
will include food, games
and fun for the whole fam-
ily. The public is welcome
and encouraged to attend.
