November 1 News and Notes
A reminder to everyone to submit recipes for the CENTENNIAL COOKBOOK project. You may submit them directly to Barb at BJ's Cafe, or mail them to BJ's at P.O. Box 61, Ortley, SD 57256, or email to rbwitte@itctel.com . They are due no later than May 1, 2006, but we encourage everyone to send them in ASAP.
In other news, for a few months now Ortley has been monitoring the progress of the Great Highway 12 Project, in which the highway is being expanded to four lanes all the way from Aberdeen to I-29. This summer and fall have seen construction on the stretch between Rush Lake, east of Waubay, and the Interstate, 8 miles east of Ortley. Ortley's skyline even was altered, as a concrete plant supporting the road construction was built this summer right at the Ortley corner - perhaps when the construction is all done we could convert the area into the "Ortley Industrial Park!" Anyway, by some reports the complete four-lane configuration was scheduled to be completed on November 1, which is today, so later I will bring a report from my observations, of whether the new lanes are in fact open. The completion of this leg of the project will mean that the only stretch left to complete is "Rush Grade", the causeway that stretches over two miles directly across Rush Lake, effectively turning it into two lakes instead of one.
