        The Manor Village Council met on Wednesday, Oct. 21, to discuss local topics including staff reports, a Christmas lights contest, and more.
Maintenance report
               Maintenance Foreman Darren Balogh reported that all was well around town. He and Nathan Halter prepared the village for winter by checking man hole covers, the lagoon fence, and isolation valves. The fall lagoon drain is on schedule. Cattails and reeds around the rodeo grounds where it is usually too wet to mow will be done this winter, weather dependent.
Holiday spirit
               The gazebo in the village will again be decorated for the season.
               Councillor Paul Corkish made a motion that a Christmas lights contest be held again with awards going to the top two traditional displays, top two religious displays, top two animated displays, and an award for the best overall display. Prizes will be $75 for first place winners and $50 for second place winners, while the best overall will also receive $75.
