Big Sky Water and Sewer Sponsoring Manhole Cover design Contest Winner to receive $1,000 prize by eMily StiFler Grant Burroughs has worked at Big Sky Water and Sewer for 16 years. In his travels, the wastewater Superintendent always looks at manhole covers. “I’ve noticed a lot of different styles,” he says. “There are some really cool ones out there.” It really came home when he noticed Bozeman’s manhole covers, which have the city’s seal of a horse drawn cart. “I saw those lids and got to thinking maybe it’d be neat to re-design ours.” Big Sky’s standard lid reads WSD363—pretty boring. local neWS Burroughs approached the Board of Directors of the Big Sky Sewer District with an idea: hold a contest for the best design. The Board agreed to the idea, and together, they came up with a set of rules and a prize for the winning design: $1,000. Burroughs says the city of Spokane held a similar contest, and an eightyear old girl won. Big Sky’s cash prize will come from the Sewer reserve fund. The new lids will cost the same as the current standard, Burroughs says. He’ll send a drawing of the winning design to the foundry, and once they have the mold made, the price is the same. The intent isn’t to replace every manhole lid—but many of Big Sky’s manhole covers are 35 years old, and Water and Sewer replaces 10-15 of them a year, also providing new lids any time a developer builds a sewer extension. The District will accept design submittals until April 25, 2011. A panel consisting of community members and District representatives will hold a blind judging. fire Chief revisky announces departure from Big Sky fire department by leS loble Fire Chief Jason (“Rif”) Revisky, of the Big Sky Fire Department, has announced his departure from the Big Sky Fire Department, effective March 2, 2011. Revisky has served with the BSFD for 16 years, and now has accepted a position with the Sourdough Fire Department in Bozeman. A celebration of his career in Big Sky was held Monday night at the Bugaboo Café. bigskywatersewer.com/lidcontest.htm After beginning as a volunteer Firefighter/EMT-B with the Big Sky Fire Department in 1994, Revisky went on to serve the Big Sky community as a Paramedic, Captain and Assistant Chief, and was promoted to Fire Chief position in 2003. Prior to joining the fire department, Revisky came to Big Sky as a fly fishing guide. He married Sandy Revisky, a local realtor, and they have three children, and—in the Big Sky tradition—two dogs. I worked for Rif as a volunteer for five years and know firsthand his many accomplishments. Between 2002 and 2007, he reduced the response time by 22 percent (four minutes) and tripled the number of training hours. The Board, the firefighters (volunteer and paid), and the emergency medical, support and administrative staff all wish Rif and Sandy the very best in this next phase of their busy lives.
