The 2015 Lovell Health
Fair will have a slightly dif-
ferent structure this year,
announced coordinator Nick
Lewis. The biggest change
is that patients will have
five opportunities to pick up
their test results at individ-
ual "mini" health fairs held
at the New Horizons Care
Center. In the past, one big
health fair has been held at
the Lovell Community Cen-
ter. The mini health fairs
will be held from Sept. 21 -
25 from 7 to 10 a.m., in the
multipurpose room at the
Care Center.
"The schedule spreads
things out, so if someone
can't make it one day, they
have other opportunities
to attend," explained Lew-
is. "So actually we will dou-
ble the amount of time from
one eight hour event to five,
three-hour events."
Individuals who take
advantage of the reduced
price blood draw program
can pick up the results of
their preventative tests at
the mini health fairs. Med-
ness screenings
ical staff from North Big
Horn Hospital will be avail-
able on those dates to dis-
cuss lab results and answer
questions patients may
have.
Another new feature
added to this year's health
fair is the opportunity for
Cowley residents to have
their blood drawn in the mo-
bile unit, during a sched-
uled visit to Cowley on Sat-
urday, Aug. 29.
"We're trying several
different things this year;
one thing we're planning to
do is to utilize the mobile
medical unit more," said
Lewis. "We will be in Cowley
for an outreach blood draw
on Saturday the 29th, from
7 a.m. to 10 a.m. in front of
the town hall building. If we
can increase the number of
people who take advantage
of the health fair this year
through the mobile unit, we
will bring the unit to other
communities next year."
Last year 60 residents
of Cowley participated in
the health fair. Lewis hopes
to double that number by
making it more convenient
for residents to get their
blood drawn through the
mobile unit.
The reduced price blood
draws will take place simul-
taneously in Lovell in the
multipurpose room at the
New Horizons Care Cen-
ter, starting on Aug. 29.
They will continue in Lovell
again on Monday, Aug. 31,
through Saturday, Sept. 5.
The hours of the blood draws
will be from 7 to 10 a.m.
Fasting for 12 hours pri-
or to the blood draw is high-
ly recommended for the
most accurate test results.
Patients should continue to
drink water and are actu-
ally encouraged to drink a
lot of water during the fast.
Patients should take their
medications as usual.
"One of the reasons peo-
ple may want to do the well-
ness screening is because
they can discover health is-
sues they may not be aware
of," said Lewis. "It real-
ly does help people. Some-
times people believe they
are healthy, but have hid-
den problems. Taking the
tests every year helps them
to be sure that they really
are healthy. A lot of times
the sooner you get on a
health issue, the better the
outcome."
The cost of the blood
work is greatly reduced
and is sometimes even cov-
ered by health insurance.
The cost of attending the
follow-up mini health fair
events is free and open to
the general public. As al-
ways, the events are expect-
ed to be ripe with useful
information.
Lewis said he hopes to
have a special health fair
geared toward children next
year that will provide infor-
mation on water safety, bike
safety, car seat informa-
tion, home safety and other
topics.
"We think this new
schedule will be more con-
venient for people, because
they can stop in before work
or after their shift," said
Lewis. "It just gives peo-
ple more opportunities to
participate."
The Lovell Area Cham-
ber of Commerce general
membership meeting will
take place at the Bran-
din' Iron restaurant on
Monday, Aug. 17, at noon.
As always, these meet-
ings are open to the public
and interested communi-
ty members are invited to
attend.
The speaker for the
meeting will be David Bar-
ton from North Big Horn
Hospital to share his vi-
sion for a community gar-
den in Lovell 2016.
This month's "Com-
mercial" will be our new-
est Chamber member,
Troy Butler of Morrison
Accounting, who will give
a summary of his firm's
services and history.

Tea Party picnic
BY NATHAN aSTER
The father of a Repub-
lican presidential candi-
date and a 27-year veteran
of the Central Intelligence
Agency with inside knowl-
edge of what really hap-
pened in Benghazi have
been booked as two of the
guest speakers for this
year's Big Horn Basin Tea
Party picnic in Emblem.
The picnic is planned
for Saturday, Aug. 15,
at the Fallowfield Ranch
owned by Rob DiLorenzo.
Gates open at 11:30 a.m.
Admission is free. Food
and drink will be available
for purchase.
DiLorenzo, one of the
leaders of the Tea Par-
ty movement in the Big
Horn Basin, said he's ex-
cited about the lineup of
guest speakers that have
been booked. Last year,
rocker Ted Nugent made
an appearance, along with
Gem Paul E. Vallely, a Fox
News contributor.
This year picnic at-
tendees will hear from the
following speakers:
• Pastor Rafael Cruz,
the father of U.S. Sen. Ted
Cruz of Texas, who is a
Republican candidate for
president. Born and raised
in Cuba, Rafael Cruz
fought against the Commu-
nists in Cuba, was arrested
there and tortured, accord-
ing to profiles of him that
have appeared online and
in print. He fled the island
in 1957 at age 18. He even-
tually settled in Texas and
became a naturalized U.S.
citizen in 2005.
Today Rafael Cruz is a
pastor at a church in Dal-
las and servesas the Direc-
tor of Purifying Fire Min-
istries ministering in the
U.S., Mexico, and Central
America. He is also a pro-
fessor of Bible and The-
ology and the president
of Kingdom Translation
Services.
• Wayne Simmons, a
former CIA officer. Recruit-
ed in 1973 while in the
U.S. Navy, Simmons spent
27 years in the intelligence
business with the CIA. He
became part of an outside
paramilitary special oper-
ations group where, in ad-
dition to working against
narcoterrorists, he ran
special operations against
armed smugglers, coun-
terfeiters, cyber-terrorists
and industrial and econom-
ic espionage. Simmons is a
contributor to the conser-
vative publication Human
Events and has been a ter-
rorism analyst for the Fox
News Channel since 2002.
• H. Leighton Stew-
ard, president and chair-
man of Plants Need CO2,
a group founded in 2009
with the mission "to edu-
cate the public on the pos-
itive effects of additional
atmospheric CO2 and help
prevent the inadvertent
negative impact to human,
plant and animal life if we
reduce C02."
