Lovell town employee Ed Allred is chatting with another individual at the scene of a downed power
line near the Lovell Community Center on Thursday, Sept. 4.
Downed trees cause black out
Some tree cutting
equipment struck a power
line near the Lovell Com-
munity Center on Thurs-
day, Sept. 4, just after 8
a.m., leaving most of the
town out of power for the
better part of an hour. For-
tunately, no one was in-
jured during the incident,
but ambulance and fire
personnel were dispatched
to the scene just in case
their services were needed.
A meeting of the Wy-
oming Joint Legislative
Committee on Labor,
Health and Social Ser-
vices was in progress at
the nearby Lovell Commu-
nity Center at the time,
but continued its business
in the dark, without the
benefit of microphones.
Museum board to move forward
BY DAVID PICK
The effort to build a
museum in Lovell is mov-
ing ahead.
After appearing before
both the Lovell Area Cham-
ber of Commerce Board
Monday and the Lovell
Town Council Tuesday, the
Lovell Museum Board has
decided to continue work-
ing toward construction of a
museum in the Lovell area.
Board members Rich
Fink and Karen Spragg
told the town council Tues-
day night that, in light of
the defeat of the museum
district in the Aug. 19 pri-
mary election, the muse-
um is pulling away from
the Byron, Cowley, Deaver
and Frannie areas and will
return to its original focus
area of Lovell-Kane. The
board has also returned the
name of the museum back
to Lovell-Kane Museum
from the name North Big
Horn County Museum and
Historical Center, which
it had gone to prior to the
election.
Fink thanked the coun-
cil for their support and
asked the basic question:
"Should we go on, or should,
we quit?"
"Keep going," Council-
man Brian Dickson said.
"We'll-figure out a way."
Councilman Scott
Allred noted that the muse-
um board members have a
passion for the project and
should continue on.
"We want to go ahead,"
Fink said, adding that the
board wants to proceed
carefully.
"We can get a grant for
a building," he said, "but if
we don't have the money to
support it, we don't want it
to fall back on you."
Fink noted that he and
Spragg spoke to the cham-
ber of commerce board
Monday about continuing
the relationship with the
chamber to share the down-
town visitor center, which
both entities have agreed is
mutually beneficial, giving
the museum board a place
to display artifacts and
work and keeping the visi-
tor center open during the
afternoon.
"We're talking to the
chamber about building
new display cases that
could be moved out when
we get a building," Fink
said. "We'll need to go
through you, them and Lo-
retta (Bischoff, the build-
ing owner). We may try an-
other mill levy (in just the
Lovell area). We didn't do a
good job telling people what
it would cost. It would be a
smaller area, and it would
be our area.
Spragg thanked Cham-
ber Secretary Jackie Hein-
ert, saying that she is "fun
and great and makes it easy
to be down there." Spragg
said a mother and daugh-
ter spent two hours at the
chamber building Tuesday
looking through albums
and seeking history on the
Internet.
"Our board is ready to
go forth and do whatever it
takes," Fink said. "We don't
want to lose anymore histo-
ry. We will go forward."
Allred urged the pair
to not take the district de-
feat as a referendum on
the museum itself, say-
ing that most people sup-
port the museum even if
they didn't like the idea of
a tax. Fink noted that the
mill levy doesn't have to be
a full mill, either, and could
be three-quarters, a half or
a quarter mill.
Mayor Bruce Morrison
noted that the council has
considered a request from
Chamber President Craig
Trumbull to reduce the rent
on the chamber building to
the museum board from its
current $100 a month.
"We'd love it," Fink said.
"We could use the money
for display cases and oth-
er things. But we know you
give us money, too, so we'd
be kind of trading money."
Fink said the muse-
um board is looking into
a storage shed that could
be used by both the muse-
um and the chamber, and
he said the chamber is wel-
come to use the board's col-
or printer.
