Tickets for the Pearson USO-style Hangar Dance, a centerpiece of Vancouver’s three-day celebration of American service persons, in particular those who served during World War II, are now on sale, reports Tami Kihs, Pearson Air Museum Director. Tickets are $35 each. The event, which begins at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26, the first day of the three-day celebration, is expected to draw 1,300 to 1,400 people, according to Kihs. Kihs says the Pearson can easily handle that number in the 11,100-square-foot main museum hangar. Pearson’s smaller historic hangar will be turned into a quiet bar for the occasion, and hangar doors will remain open for dancing n the tarmac under the stars. Vocal recording artist Valerie Day will be accompanied by the big-band musical group Knights of Swing. Vancouver’s America’s Celebrate Freedom Salute is one of six official tributes sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Defense to honor the 60th anniversary of the end World War II. The Vancouver program includes a special tribute to the entire World War II generation, including home-front workers. It will also honor all U.S. veterans, including those currently serving at home and abroad. Tickets can be bought at Pearson Air Museum and can be reserved calling the Vancouver National Historic Reserve Trust, 992-1825, or by going to the website, www.americassalute.org. The website provides an opportunity for veterans to register or for someone to register on behalf of a veteran. Health care workers in highest demand Demand for all workers and particularly registered nurses rose dramatically this spring, according to data released Tuesday by the state Employment Security Department. During the late spring there were an estimated 70,653 unfilled jobs statewide. Of those, 4,473 were openings for registered nurses. Job vacancies increased by 40 percent since last October, Rick Kaglic, the Employment Security Department’s chief economist, said. But vacancies in nursing positions rose 53 percent during the same period. “We are seeing two interesting trends playing out,” Kaglic said. “The overall economy continued to add jobs in the spring and the demand for healthcare workers rose even higher. Unfilled jobs in healthcare accounted for one out of every five job vacancies.” The overall number of job vacancies is the highest it has been in the three years the Employment Security Department has been doing job vacancy surveys. According to Kaglic, the highest number of unfilled positions was in King County. However, Southern Washington experienced the fastest growth in openings. People David Stewart won the pie-eating contest during the Ridgefield Fourth of July celebration, reported The Columbian. Second place went to Ken Perry and third place, to Caitlin Matley. The Country Cafe donated the pies. Banana cream was the most popular flavor. Grunes gives good
