MVT - As Veteran's Day approaches, we are reminded that the fight for freedom is a continuing one.  As our young people give their lives on foreign soil, the real enemy of freedom is the very government that is sending them to their death.  Our government.

As citizens, we have demonstrated our lack of concern for the freedoms that we supposedly hold so dear.  In the name of security, we have lost many freedoms over the past 20 years.  And in the name of insurance rates (safety), we have given up many choices.

Here are a few examples:

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING

The Manson Parks & Recreation District will be holding a Public Meeting to discuss the proposed construction of a safety fence at Singleton Park along Hyacinth Ave.

The public meeting is scheduled for November 10th at 6:00 p.m. at the Ray Baumgarner Building, 312 Quetilquasoon, Manson.

Details of the proposed project will be provided at the Public Meeting.

Any person has the right to provide testimony at the public meeting. Written comments may be submitted prior to the meeting. Please address any specific and factual comments about the project to Ken Rau at the District office, PO Box 590, Manson, WA 98831.

The project documents may be reviewed at the District office during regular business hours. Copies of any materials will be provided at $0.10 per copy.  

Manson School District - This important message is sent from the Manson School District Nurse, Hunterland Carr:

Kay Jakes with Chelan-Douglas Health Department called this morning to say that the vaccine is not arriving as originally anticipated and a specific arrival date is unknown. CDHD promised to reset the flu vaccine clinic date as soon as possible as the vaccine becomes available.

Please continue to have the paperwork brought in!

That will get us ahead of the game when CDHD receives the shipment.

We will make a new offer to those who may change their minds when the vaccine actually arrives - adding to the number of vaccine that they will bring. By that time, they may have enough to vaccinate the healthy staff as well. Let us hope so.

Thanks,

Hunterland Carr, RN, MSN

Javier Valdovinos

Three employees of La Brisa were interviewed. The three stated a verbal confrontation took place between customer Cortez and employee/suspect Javier V. Valdovinos age 40 of Manson. Cortez had been drinking beers at a table with three other men. Valdovinos was working in the kitchen. Valdovinos came out from the kitchen and asked the men at Cortez' table if they needed anything, as he was closing the kitchen. Cortez made a comment to Valdovinos about where they were each from in Mexico and a feud began over different areas of Mexico.

Terminal Building Update - The airport governing board approved Change Orders No. 5 and 6 of the passenger terminal remodeling project. The airport director, Pat Moore, reported that there is enough FAA grant funding to cover the adjusted cost of these change orders. The terminal remodel project is nearing completion and will result in an expansion of passenger boarding areas, which will accommodate the greater number of passengers boarding each flight.
