Ahoj, <\/strong>\u00a0 (Is a common word for hello in Slovak, pronounced \u201cAh-hoy\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dangerous weather patterns have persisted recently. Given that January is known for extreme conditions, please take precautions; frostbite is a serious risk that can result in amputation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a lighter note, Groundhog Day is celebrated annually in the United States and Canada on February 2. The tradition is derived from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, it will retreat to its den and winter will continue for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow, spring will arrive early. Punxsutawney Phil is the United States groundhog, and Wiarton Willie is the Canadian groundhog.\u00a0 Cross your fingers everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are exciting happenings in Valley City.\u00a0 Bids for the new Valley City Public Schools building are expected to be let\u00a0March 11, 2026. Steel is already up at the\u00a0Tharaldson Family Athletic Center\u00a0and the\u00a0Public Works Service Center Complex. All three are impressive projects that will add beauty and functionality to Valley City. It is worth a drive-by to view the steelwork in person.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think, \u201cSHOP small, SHOP local.\u201d Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With recent high winds persisting, empty garbage bins have been blowing around streets and alleys. Record the RPC barcode number on your bin, which is registered to your address, so you can identify it in the event of a \u201cmix-up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dang, I wish I didn\u2019t feel the need to write this again.\u00a0 PLEASE respect people\u2019s yards and boulevards, \u201cpick up your pet\u2019s POOP\u201d!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The landfill we use raised mattress disposal fee to $15.00.\u00a0 With that, there will be a $15.00 fee per mattress when brought out to the transfer station. For information, please call 701-845-0314<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to all who\u00a0provided\u00a0material and\u00a0to\u00a0Sue for proofing this column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCarry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>~ Princess Diana<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessings, Prayer, Respect and Gratitude,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
