The Army Corps of Engineers is holding a Master Manual hearing about the Missouri River flow issue at the Ameristar Casino and Hotel in Council Bluffs, Iowa on February 19. There will be an open house workshop from 2-5 p.m. and a formal public hearing from 7-10 p.m. that evening. American Rivers is encouraging us to come and take part. It is good just to be there to show the extent of the public's interest in this issue, and even better if you are willing to speak to the issue. If you can do more, they would like to have people there to hand out materials as well. Peggy Murdock
