Another short Newsletter this month.  This is the time of year that IndexWa.org gets REALLY busy.  We post a lot of news as it happens due to flooding and other inclement weather issues.

The site is quite busy as it is but hits quadruple during the winter months.

We have be quite busy prepping for this and trying to learn some short-cuts to get the news to our readers at a quicker pace.

Halloween

Halloween has come and gone!  There appeared to be more kiddies out and about in town this year but the knocks on the door ended early.

At first there was nobody knocking.  The norm is around 5 pm or so but we did not get any trick-or-treaters 'til about 6 pm and then it was a mad rush and ended about 7:10 pm.

Now comes Thanksgiving and Christmas!  The year is almost over and we will once again have resolutions that we do not keep.

Wishing you all a family filled Thanksgiving.

Mayoral Race
 

It appears that our mayor, Bruce Albert was run into a surprise contender, Jim Roberts.  Roberts announced his candidacy at the Heybrook Hoedown and is request that he be a write in.

This was a surprise that nobody expected.
