Greetings,
- This weekend Easter and Passover will be celebrated. Passover is a story of miracles and redemption of the Jewish People while Easter is a Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
- As culmination of City Government Week, Treyson Brant will serve as “Mayor for a Day” and will be presiding over our City Commission Meeting Tuesday. We are very grateful to our local Dairy Queen, Fire Department and Police Department for their event sponsorships. Thank you.
- Spring is a soothing time in the upper Midwest with flowers peeking out, trees budding and grasses trending towards green, beautiful.
- For a small town like of Valley City, we are very fortunate to have two ambulances. Recently there were simultaneous incidents where lives were likely saved because we had two. A person involved with the aforementioned said, “If you have a prominent house entrance from the alley, be sure to have a house number visible from the alley”. Thank you, Julie & First Responders.
- THE MASTERS TOURNAMENT SUNDAY was CRAZY! I don’t think one needs to be a golf fan to appreciate the competitive highs and lows of the day ………. hope you saw it.
- The North Dakota Legislators are in a sprint to the finish of the 69th Legislative session. With numerous bills being debated and fewer funds being projected, our legislature will need to work diligently for an on-time conclusion of the session. Thank you for serving.
- From last week’s Missouri River Energy Services (MRES) Board Meeting, generation continues to be monumentally challenging as energy demands are growing faster than generation and transmission.
- Supposedly, Yogi Berra collided with a guy carrying a vintage Grandfather Clock, ruining said clock. The man angrily said, “Why don’t you watch where you are going?”, with Yogi replying, “Why don’t you wear a wristwatch like everyone else?”. Hehehe!
- Thank you to all who provide and proof material for this column.
