South Project resumes
on Nevada Avenue
BY DAVID PECK
A sure sign of spring
is the resumption of the
Lovell water and sewer in:
frastructure project, and
sure enough, the big ma-
chines from Wilson Broth-
ers Construction have be-
gun to roll.
The 2011 portion of the
South Phase actually con-
tinued until January 17 in
order to get the water line
across the Globe Canal and
to residents atop the bench
north of Garfield, and on
Monday, about 11 weeks lat-
er, Wilson Brothers began
mobilizing for the spring
and summer work to come.
Owner/operator Kim
Wilson and project engineer
Frank Page said Tuesday
that work began Monday,
though the project wont
totally gear up until next
Monday, April 9.
"We're trying to get
roads back in shape and
things cleaned up," Wilson
said. "It was pretty cold and
miserable when we shut
down in January."
Wilson Brothers was
busy Tuesday installing
a new manhole on Sixth
Street between the Wyo-
ming National Guard Ar-
mory and Constitution
Park. The manhole will
reach an under-drain sys-
tem that drains ground-
water north and then east
from the southeast part of
town. Wilson said it was im-
portant to get the manhole
in before water flows in the
Globe Canal.
Starting Monday, Wil-
son Brothers will start mill-
ing asphalt on the upper
bench in the area of the hos-
pital and will continue to
mill the rest of the project
below the hill. People will
need to get their cars off
the street, Wilson said, and
people will be given notice.
The first thing after the
milling will be to complete
the "Nevada Hill" portion of
the project. Page said that
means disinfecting and
pressure testing the water
main and completing ser-
vice lines, then complet-
ing the under-drain from
the Globe Canal to the top
of the hill. After that, Ne-
vada Avenue can be rebuilt,
though it won't be paved
until paving is done late
this summer.
"We'll start at the top
of the hill and do all of the
water and sewer work first,
then work our way into
the lower area below the
bench," Wilson said.
Work was under way
this week by Wilson Broth-
ers, installing water ser-
vice lines between Seventh
and Eighth on Nevada, and
Montana-Dakota Utilities
has been finishing its gas
line project with comple-
tion of the main line and
resumption of service line
connections.
Hospital foundation's Evening With
Friends features magician/comedian

and magic. He will also interact with
guests during the social hour.
All proceeds from the Evening
With Friends will go to the permanent

County proclaims April
Month of Military Child
oming National Guard in been directly
affected by
Purple-up Day
April 13
BY KARLA POMEROY
The Big Horn County
commissioners proclaimed
April as Month of the Mili-
tary Child, something every
county was doing this week.
"It's a way to recognize
families serve too and don't
get a lot of recognition for
it," Chairman Jerry Ewen
said.
National Guardsmen
Mike Laird and county 4-H
Educator Gretchen Gasvo-
da-Kelso came to support
the signing of the procla-
mation by the commission-
ers proclaiming April as
Military Child Month. Gas-
voda-Kelso said 4-H has
partnered with the Guard
in support of military chil-
dren. She said this year the
junior leaders .built more
than 400 hero packs that
included booklets with fun-
ny sayings, LifeSavers, Q-
tips and more. The packs
were distributed by the Wy-
Cheyenne.
As part of Military
Child Month, April 13 is
"Purple-Up" day with peo-
ple encouraged to wear pur-
ple in support of military
children. She said ,Greybull
schools are on spring break
and will purple-up on April
20.
Laird said commission-
ers across the state are
signing on behalf of the gov-
ernor since he can't be in
every county.
Kelso added that fami-
lies not involved in the mili-
tary don't necessarily un-
derstand what the children
go through when a parent is
deployed.
The proclamation
states, "Whereas thousands
of brave Americans have
demonstrated their courage
and commitment to free-
the military deployment of
at least one parent; and
"Whereas, These chil-
dren and youth are a source
of pride and honor to us all,
and it is only fitting that
we take time to recognize
their contributions, cele-
brate their spirit, and let
our men and women in uni-
form know that while they
are taking care of us, we are
taking care of their children
and youth;
"Whereas, The recogni-
tion of April as Month of the
Military Child will allow us
to pay tribute to military
children and youth for their
commitment, their strug-
gles and their uncondition-
al support of our troops be-
cause when parents serve
in the military their chil-
dren serve too; and
"Whereas, A month-
dom by serving the Armed long salute to military chil-
Forces of the Unit Statea dren and youth will encour-
of Amecd\\;inac dui; age local communities to
posts in Afghanistan, Iraq provide direct support to
and around the world; and military children and fam-
"Whereas, Approxi- ilies" ... the commissioners
mately 5,000 of Wyoming's proclaim April as the Month
children and youth have of the Military Child."
