Serena Lipp was the
only Big Horn County de-
partment head that faced
a challenge this year in her
bid for re lection, as
DeLucchi opposed her for
the Republican nomina-
tion for Clerk of the Dis-
trict Court.
If Tuesday's balloting is
any indication, county res-
idents were beyond satis-
fied with Lipp's first four
years, as she rolled to a big
primary win. Lipp collect-
ed 2,451 votes, or 84 per-
cent of the total ballots
cast, to DeLucchi's 465, or
16 percent.

COMMISSIONERS conUnued from page one
In unofficial election
results posted late Tuesday
night, Carrizales came away
with 1,204 votes, or 20 per-
cent of the 5,748 votes cast
in the commission race. He
was the leading vote-getter
in Basin, Emblem, Greybull,
Shell and Byron.
Neves performed very
well on his home turf, win-
ning Burlington (by 13 votes
over Carrizales), Otto and
Hyattville en route to garn-
ing 965 votes, or 16 percent
of the votes cast.
Lisa Kimsey was the
only candidate who pre-
vented Neves and Carriza-
les from sweeping of the
south, as she received the
most votes in her home
community of Manderson
but finished with just 246
votes (4 percent).
