In brief: Attack survivors to be honored

Spokane-area survivors of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor will be honored Friday in Riverfront Park.

The nine military survivors in the Lilac City Chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association will be recognized at noon with a ceremony that includes a 21-gun salute and commemorative floral leis.

Friday is the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack, which killed 2,403 Americans and prompted U.S. entry into World War II.

Car dealership owner arrested

A 76-year-old Spokane Valley business owner faces charges for allegedly sexually assaulting job applicants.

Spokane County detectives say Monte Masingale, who owns a car dealership near the 18100 block of East Appleway Avenue, assaulted two females in December 2011 and May 2012. Both victims told police Masingale engaged in inappropriate and unwanted touching when they responded to job postings at the business.

Masingale was arrested Saturday on two counts of fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation.

Detectives believe there are other victims, and the investigation is ongoing.  Anyone with information is asked to contact Deputy Damon Simmons at (509) 477-4719.
