JON LANE Reader highlights candidate's history

Teachers take pleasure in seeing their students grow up and become successful in their chosen fields. I remember Jon Lane as an outstanding student who always completed his assignments and was a pleasure to have in class. As a student, he was also involved in music, athletics and student activities. Jon chose to become a teacher and a coach because he loves working with young people. Jon got involved in the Moses Lake Parks and Recreation Commission and later was elected to the city council. As a city councilman, Jon is now a respected, forward-looking city leader who spends a great deal of time talking with citizens about the needs of our community. He has been a great supporter of improving the Moses Lake Public Library. As a member of the Moses Lake Public Library Foundation, I look forward to his involvement in this endeavor. Please join us in voting for Jon Lane for Moses Lake City Council.

Fresh News from MarDon

For the last several years ice has been as issue for Potholes Reservoir duck hunters by the end of November. This year we have been lucky to have no ice as of November 28, 2012 in the sand dunes. Our area is holding lots of ducks and geese, if you venture outside around dawn or dusk you can listen to all the geese in search of a corn field or some fresh water. We have been socked in with fog every day for that last week but that typically clears up by lunch time. Our area is enjoying the best hunting season and, other than the fog, mild weather conditions in years. If you are in need of a current hunting or weather report please give us a call (509) 346-2651.
