Time to Clean Up
John Holliday takes some practice shots with his new .44 Mag. Afterwards, Mr. Holliday took the time to pick up all his shells, his target, and many clay parts that someone else left in the field.
OLD’S PROCESSING
Hunting has started, and many have practiced or sighted in on the public land on Union Chapel. On Saturday October 1st, the Campbell County Observer is asking the community to help us clean up this area again. “It is in great shape compared to last year,” said David Breenkly. “No carcasses and no furniture. But we should still clean it if we want to keep using it. Especially before it gets too bad.” The Cleanup will be at 10am on Saturday, October 1st. Please bring 2 grocery store bags and be prepared to walk in a line.

Hunters who would like to help needy families will be able to donate their game meat again this year. What began as a few concerned sportsmen working to slow the mounting waste problem in Campbell County has grown into a successful program sponsored by local businesses. Beginning October 1, hunters can take Irah Leonetti carcasses in good S. Gillette Game Warden condition to Olds Processing and pay $20 to cover part of the processing fee for the donated meat. Funds contributed by local businesses will pay the rest of the fee, and the meat will be taken to the Council of Community Services for distribution. Thank you to all who participated last year, and to those who donated money this year – you have made this effort a success.
1% Sales Tax. Westover Road / Madison Pipeline work As part of WYDOT’s Hwy 50 construction project, a portion of the new Madison Pipeline along Highway 50 between Westover Road and Lakeway Avenue has recently been installed. This week, the contractor and City crews will be filling the new 36-inch PVC pipeline for pressure testing and sterilization purposes. Motorists will notice a lot of activity in the vicinity of Westover and Skyline as this line is being filled and disinfected. Fire hoses and temporary piping will be installed across Westover as the new line is filled. Please drive accordingly and observe and obey posted construction and traffic control in the area. Next week, the City and contractor will drain water from the pipeline after the pressure testing and sterilization process has been complete. The City and the contractor will treat (remove the chlorine from) the drinking water before it is discharged to a natural drainage near Lakeway and Hwy 50. Fresh drinking water will replenish the new pipeline after the sterilization process has been complete. The waterline should be pressurized and operational by the end of September. The City does not anticipate any disruptions to existing customers during this process. However, customers within the immediate vicinity of the project might notice a slight decrease in water pressure and/or cloudy water during this process. This is normal. The water should clear up and pressures restored after the line has been filled.
