Irrigation District election next Tuesday

Yes, this is the last week we will discuss this matter this year. The United States Postal Service does not guarantee every piece of mail dropped into a mail drop box will be postmarked.

The next Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District election is scheduled for Next Tuesday, Dec. 9. Here is part of what RCW 87.03.033 about absentee ballots: To be counted in a given election, an absentee ballot must conform to these requirements: It must be sealed in an unmarked envelope and delivered to the district's principal office prior to the close of the polls on the day of that election; or be sealed in an unmarked envelope and mailed to the district's secretary, postmarked not later than midnight of that election day and received by the secretary within five days of that date.

There is one way to make sure your main-in ballot is postmarked; physically take it to the post office counter and ask to have it hand stamped. The post office employee should hand stamp the envelope while you watch.

If you are going to participate in this election and have questions, call the MLIRD office and clarify your concerns.

Students assist food bank distribution

Volunteers transport food each Tuesday from the Moses Lake Food Bank to Pioneer Village, a senior apartment building, for distribution to 60 households. Once at Pioneer Village, the food is displayed on tables where residents file through the line to collect food.

Three Moses Lake High School students, Julianne Combs, Kayla Ottolini and Rebecca (last name misplaced) have been spending their Tuesday lunch period at the facility, across Sharon Avenue from the high school, helping hand out the food.

An "A" for the three students for their civic volunteerism.
