I hope the warm days, cool nights, changing leaves and final harvest of the garden get a little extension this year. We again hope for a good water year this winter, but we will enjoy this pleasant fall weather while it lasts. The Hiline Road project will be mostly completed by the end of October. Because the west bound bridge on I-86 will not be completed until next year, some of the final improvements on Hiline Road may not be completely fin- ished this year in order to facilitate the removal and subsequent replacement of the bridge structure. We have been assured, however, that they will leave it so it will make good traffic movement possible during the winter months until the project is completed. We have greatly appreciated the patience and cooperation of city residents, especially those who live around the project. When it is finished next year, I am sure it will provide the improved traffic movement and aesthetics that are anticipated. As yard projects are completed and we get our property ready for winter, it is important to remember that any burning requires checking with the fire department. They can provide you with any information, regulations and permits needed. I am continually reminded of how grateful I am to live in this place in the world. The best part of living here is the people. I really appreciate you. Let's all continue to make Chubbuck a wonderful place to live and do business! Mayor England .AP*V3""` Come Trunk or Treat with Chubbuck Police Officers in the Pine Ridge Mall On Saturday, October 31, the Chubbuck Police De- partment will be hosting its third annual Trunk or Treat. We will be set up inside the Pine Ridge Mall with our patrol cars and treats from approximately 6:00 PM un- til the goodies run out. The officers are looking for- ward to meeting both kids and parents at this safe and fun event. You won't have to worry about the weather, and there is plenty of room for everyone, so come early. We would like to thank the Pine Ridge Mall and the many people who donated last year for their support. We got a great response from both donors and fami- lies last year. Donations of candy from any citizen or business would be wel- comed. If you would like more in- formation, or are interested in assisting with sponsor- ship of this event, please contact the police depart- ment by call- ing Steve Young at 237- 7172, calling Arron Bingham at 238-2376, or by e -mailing syoung@cityofchubbuck.us. SANITATION SERVICES Because the city runs its sanitation service without a profit margin, providing extra service for no charge does have an impact on the budget. When someone calls to re- quest that the sanitation driver empty a garbage cart a second time, extra fuel is used to return to a sin- gle home in a neighborhood. During this season of tight budgets, the city must consider this cost carefully. In order to be wise with Bannock County Landfill Candidates for City Council • Joshua D. Ellis • Kevin England • Tyler Medina • Rebecca Ponkow Candidates for Mayor 0 Steven M. England your dollars, we must make an ef- fort to enforce the established col- lection fee for an extra residential garbage pickup. Please consider folding cardboard boxes and any other step that will help prevent the need for extra ser- vice. Remember that bagging grass clippings keeps them from sticking to the garbage cart and from not coming out of the cart also. The last hazardous waste collection day this season is Saturday, October 3rd and the FREE DAY this fall is Saturday, October 17th. If you have any questions, call 236-0607. Leash Rules Dogs and other pets are only allowed in city parks if they are accompanied on a leash held by an adult or child strong enough to control the animal. j R ELECTION - NOVEMBER 3rd Please watch for the map to be published in the newspaper that will help you determine in which precinct your residence falls.
