During a quick tour of
portions of the Big Horn
Basin last week, gubernato-
rial hopeful Lelsie Petersen
made a stop in Lovell to talk
to citizens before the upcom-
ing election on Nov. 4.
Petersen was born in
Lovell, where her father
was a ranger with the
U.S. Forest Service. Her
parents moved the fam-
ily to Dubois when she
was 2 years old. Peters-
en said she was too young
to remember much about
Lovell, but she still has
a photograph of herself
as an infant sitting on a
horse at a ranger station
outside of town.
"It's great to be here
60-some years later to re-
new old ties and feelings,"
she said.
Petersen arrived in
Thermopolis on Wednes-
day, Sept. 29, and made
stops in Worland, Basin
and Greybull before com-
ing to Lovell Friday. She
said the weather and the
people she stopped to talk
with were both great dur-
ing her time in the basin.
She spent time visiting se-
nior centers, visiting Main
Street businesses and
talking to voters about
their concerns.
Petersen said she has
been busy campaigning
around the state recent-
ly. On Tuesday, Sept. 28,
Petersen had many ap-
pointments including a
press conference where
Gov. Freudenthal spoke
favorably about her quali-
fications. She also had an
interview with the Chey-
enne Tribune-Eagle edito-
rial board last week where
she was asked about her
position on virtually every
issue in Wyoming politics.
"It's a very demand-
ing thing," Petersen said. "I
love it. It sharpens you up."

for the state."
According to her Web-
site, Petersen's campaign
is built on three primary
concerns: balanced pro-
tection of Wyoming's spe-
cial places with the need
to strengthen and promote
energy production, invest-
ment in communities, and
finding affordable health-
care solutions that keep
hospitals strong and dec-
tors in communities.
Petersen said she wants
to have a transparent gov-
ernment so that Wyoming
citizens can stay informed
about what is happening
within the government.

go through menopause, their breasts change and signs of breast
cancer are easier to detect.
If 1,000 women over age 40 get a mammogram:
• 920 women will have a normal mammogram
(although a small number of these women will have a
cancer that was missed by the mammogram).
• 80 women will have an abnormal mammogram and
require further tests.
After further testing, results will show:
• 76 women do not have breast cancer.

THE BALD LADY REPORT (still here just been busy!)
First of all, I want to thank everyone who supported me in the Primary[ I appreciate it very much!
Now, to catch up, the last several weeks our day to day operations such as marriages, title work,
recordings, payroll, accounts payable and commissioners' correspondence have really picked up and that
shows in the revenue that my office is generating. Our day to day operations are challenging due to the
election demands and being short staffed. Employees are taking their well deserved vacations and we are
sending an employee to the Lovell satellite office as scheduled.
I am gearing up for the demanding weeks ahead for the General Election. The Secretary of State's
office has certified Big Horn County's primary election. I notified the elected and nominated candidates and
municipalities of the results. I prepared an official resolution signed by the commissioners that the South Big
Horn Senior Citizens Center is officially a district. (Congratulations to the community!) I have put all state,
county, municipal and special district board candidates on the ballot. I have proofed, tested, and produced the
sample ballots. We are sending out absentee ballots, and for the first time, the election law allows us to e-mail
ballots to our men and women in the military.
I attended a three-day meeting in Laramie with county clerks from around the state to work on
legislative changes to laws that appear to be cumbersome.
Yes, I am pulling my hair out! I have found it necessary to spend time researching commissioners'
minutes going back years looking for documents that may or may not have been presented to the
commissioners from the airport board. Some ofyou may have noticed a little finger pointing going on of late.
It seems like finger pointing can turn into quiet a little tar baby! What's the old saying about people who live
in glass houses? I will leave this issue for now, hoping I don't need to address it further in the future.
Let's not forget, this is a great nation! This country has some major problems we should be focusing
on with our Washington politicians! What do you voters think of the war, campaign financing and the huge
debt taken on to bail out the Wall Street bankers? We as voters can make a difference, if we keep discussing
these issues with our nation's leaders!
