Here we are, a little more than a week before Thanksgiving and our weather forecast is in the 40\u2019s.\u00a0 Enjoy, as not every fall season is this pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More and more beautiful Thanksgiving Decorations are showing up around town.\u00a0 One family has warm decorations on the front of their house, a delightful mural covering the whole side of the garage and all is crowned with an American Flag.\u00a0 Thank you to all who have made time to beautify our city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valley City State University (VCSU) and North Dakota State University will be searching for new presidents.\u00a0 VCSU\u2019s Dr. Al LaFave is moving to Northern State University and NDSU\u2019s Dr. David Cook is moving to Iowa State University.\u00a0 \u201cEvery end is the result of a new beginning\u201d ~\u00a0Unknown<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week at our Valley City School Board meeting, it was voted to extend the School Resource Officer (SRO) partnership with the city of Valley City.\u00a0 SRO Sean Hagen protects, builds relationships and provides good guidance for our students.\u00a0 Thank you everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I attended a meeting where a topic was \u201cGiving Back\u201d.\u00a0 Churches, schools, charities, hospitals, committees for each of the aforementioned and more provide opportunities for all of us to give back.\u00a0 Monetary, clerical, committees, cleaning, yard work are some ways we can help the entities that helped us over time.\u00a0 Please give serious thought to giving back, thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are moving into a new winter sports season with players, coaches and fans full of anticipation going forward.\u00a0 At the high school level, play, coaching and officiating aren\u2019t perfect.\u00a0 Too many times, fans unduly criticize players, coaches and officials.\u00a0 Playing sports is not a right, it is a privilege.\u00a0 Coaches invest hundreds of hours in preparation and practice time so students can have teams on which to play.\u00a0 Game officials aren\u2019t perfect, even college and professional game officials miss calls, but they too invest much time working to be the best they can be.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWithout coaches and officials, it is just intramural.\u201d\u00a0 Respect given from all involved is needed to provide a positive experience for our youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to all who provide and proof material for this column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
