The Bottom Line

Celebration to mark end of Mann Creek project
What once was a series of challenging curves has now been tamed. To celebrate the conclusion of the Mann Creek Curves project, a dedication ceremony is planned Thursday (Oct. 28) at the historic Mann Creek Store, about 10 miles north of Weiser on U.S. 95.

Operators of the Mann Creek store will roll out a menu of chuckwagon chow, green salad, dinner rolls, Halloween cookies and hot apple cider to mark the occasion. With their roots in the nation's fiddle capital, four high school fiddlers will provide fitting music as a backdrop to the dedication ceremony. The event, including brief presentations, will begin at 1 p.m.

A matter of survival
Dan Scoville, a volunteer for Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue, will provide tips on survival in a variety of weather conditions Thursday in the auditorium at Headquarters. His presentation, sponsored by the Headquarters Safety team, will begin at 2 p.m. and is open to all ITD employees.

For more information, contact Patti Belanger in Employee Safety at ext. 8274.
