WHAT IS TODAY?

Today is the one year anniversary of our first reunion. Already there is buzz about having another on. Contact your best buddies and let me know. We'll start planning one for next year. This time, not in Cheyenne.

MINOT IS FLOODING

Water is expected to reach the top of Minot's levees within the next two days. The flooding is now expected to dwarf the historic flood of 1969....

The Mouse river is rising fast...and it means 11-thousand Minot residents have to get out quickly. The city's evacuation order has been bumped up to Wednesday evening at 6:00.

The National Weather Service today updated its projections on the Mouse River today.

Releases from the Lake Darling Dam will be increased to 20,300. The water will flood Minot at a record level breaching dikes next week.

Mayor Curt Zimbleman says the water is rising fast and he says work continues to put up dikes to protect critical infrastructure and will continue until the water no longer allows.

He says the priority is to protect city infrastructure and to keep Broadway open.

The Des Lacs river is also rising and resisdents of Burlington have been ordered to evacuate by Wednesday at Noon.

Governor Dalrymple has also ordered an evacuation of rural areas between Minot and Burlington, for residents in proximity of the Souris River or Burlington Dam number one.

Sheriff deputies will be checking homes to verify people have left.

The Red Cross has set up shelters in the area. watch the video |

VA to Issue Debit Cards

The Department of Veterans Affairs (through the Treasury Department) will offer beneficiaries without bank accounts the option to enroll in the Direct Express debit card program with Comerica Bank. Direct Express payments will be directly deposited into that account and made accessible through a debit card. Personal funds cannot be transferred into this account as it can only be used to receive Federal benefits. Direct Express cardholders have 24/7 access to their money at automated teller machines and are able to make purchases at any retailer that accepts MasterCard.

CELEBRATION OF LIFE!

   
    I have just returned from the "Celebration of Wade Aust's Life." It was a great ceremony. Friends and family gathered to talk about Wade, his work ethic, his love of man, woman and child, and his love of life. His favorite sayings were, "Piece of Cake" and "Whatever!" There were lots of laughs and not too many dry eyes. Wade, you will never be forgotten. You will always be in our hearts. I hope to see you again, Buba. 
"At ease, Airman Aust!" 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

WADE S. AUST, JR.

from Myrna Odom...PLEASE PRAY for my daughter, Stephany and our family as her Dad, Wade Aust, Jr., lost his fight with Leukemia this afternoon. God Bless each of you for all of your prayers and thank you all for putting Stephany's pain and needs first in their life. In a tragedy like this you often find out who your true friends really are. Please continue to pray for her and her family. Praise God for his mercy and his love.
