Congratulations to the Hi-Liners Girls Basketball Team for its back-to-back North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA) State Championships. The Hi-Liners fought back from a large deficit in the first half. With grit, determination, and a few shots falling, the game began to go their way. From there, thanks to some clutch free-throw shooting, the game was theirs. It is something the players, coaches, and all who had a part in \u201cmaking it happen\u201d will always remember, Hi-Liners \u2013 69, Royals \u2013 62.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geez, I just have to mention the weather. Sunday afternoon my phone showed 64 degrees with nice sunshine and a soft breeze.\u00a0 One weather service showed the record high that day in Fargo to be 60 degrees. I am grateful and hope all who were able got out and enjoyed some of the good, clean air with which we were Blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to a rise in litigation during the mid-1980s, insurance companies began canceling policies for individuals and local governments, leaving many without coverage. North Dakota was hit hard, leading local political subdivisions to form the North Dakota Insurance Reserve Fund (NDIRF)\u2014an insurance pool dedicated to local governments. Today, we are celebrating the NDIRF\u2019s 40th Anniversary and the reasonably stable rates it provides to North Dakota communities. Congratulations and thank you to the forward-thinking individuals who made this a reality!\u00a0 Some quotes are from \u201cParticipator\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
