BY PATrl CARPENTER
Two crash victims were
transported to the hospital
following a rollover crash of
a pickup truck driven by an
unlicensed driver on a dirt
road off of Highway 37 near
Horseshoe Bend on Sunday
afternoon.
Sheriffs deputies, the
Lovell Fire Department
and an ambulance from
North Big Horn Hospi-
tal responded to a call re-
porting a rollover crash at
around 2:30 p.m. Upon ar-
rival deputies found a bad-
ly wrecked Ford pickup
truck owned by 18-year-old
Cody Fausett of Greybull.
An injured girl was found
near the vehicle, appearing
to have been ejected during
the crash.
Though the sheriffs of-
fice declined to release the
name of the .girl, citing that
she is a minor, the Lovell
Chronicle learned from oth-
er sources that the girl is
14-year-old Alexis Lujan,
a freshman at Lovell High
School. According to Sher-
iff Ken Blackburn, the girl
was taken by medical heli-
copter to a hospital in Bill-
ings due to serious inju-
ries sustained in the crash.
Fausett was transported by
ground to North Big Horn
Hospital. Blackburn said
both appeared to have very
serious injuries. Lujan had
facial injuries, including
what appeared to be miss-
ing teeth.
Two other individuals,
Jesse Pine, 18, and anoth-
er male, 17, were with the
pair at the time, traveling
on the same dirt road in a
separate vehicle. Initially,
Fausett and the two young
men from the other vehi-
cle told investigating depu-
ties that the wrecked vehi-
cle was driven by Fausett,
but later changed their sto-
ry admitting Lujan, an un-
licensed driver, was at the
wheel during the crash.
"At first they tried to
lie about who was driving,"
said Blackburn. "When evi-
dence at the scene indicat-
ed otherwise, they admit-
ted the girl was driving."
Blackburn expressed
concern that the boys lied
and said all three world be
charged with interfereace.
"Young people need to
understand that we will
have zero tolerance for in-
terfering with the investi-
gation of a serious accident
like this," said Blackburn.
Blackburn noted that it
was barely a year ago that
a young girl was killed in
a crash under very sim-
ilar circumstances near
Burlington.
"I find it very disturb-
ing that this 14-year-old
girl was out there with
three older boys driving
like that," said Blackburn.
"Driving on a dirt road can
be very tricky for an inex-
perienced driver. It's eerie
how similar this was to the
accident that took the life
of a girl near Burlington a
year ago. The circumstanc-
es were almost identical
and that girl lost her life. I
think this girl is very lucky
to have survived this."
He said the Lujan will
be charged with driving
without a license and Fau-
sett will be charged for al-
lowing an unlicensed driver
behind the wheel.
"We want kids to have
fun, but we also want them
to be safe," said Blackburn.
"We want them to enjoy
themselves, but we want
them to enjoy life, too.
"It takes a certain skill
set to drive on dirt roads.
Obviously she didn't have
those skills and overcorrect-
ed and lost control. It's like
driving a 4,000-pound bul-
let. You have to know what
you're doing and there are
ways to learn that safely."

First benefits of the
new oiled streets are be-
coming noticeable with the
fall rains. Less mud is car-
ried onto the Main Street
from the side streets and
less absence of dust. At the
start of beet harvest next
week trucks will be re-
quired to use the first street
north of Main Street, and
freight and transport vans
will also be shunted to that
street on their noisy trip
through town.

Deacon John Aloi-
sio and his wife Marlene
are bringing something
new to St. Joseph's Cath-
olic Church in Lovell. He
is the first deacon to head
the church here and is one
of only two deacons in Wy-
oming. Aloisio said, "My
appointment reflects the
changing nature of the ad-
ministration of the Catho-
lic community in Wyoming.
There is a far greater em-
phasis on the full partici-
pation of each member of
the community, not only in
worship, charity and com-
munity action but in the
management of the •long
term and daily goals." His
official title is Reverend
Mr. John Aloisio, but he is
called Deacon John.
