NEWS & NOTES
11/11/2024
Greetings Everybody,
- November 11th is/was Veteran’s Day. Thank you to all veterans for providing and protecting our freedoms.
- Governor Doug Burgum officially proclaimed Sunday November 10th as “North Dakota Law Enforcement Support Staff Day”. The occasion was celebrated with gratitude Sunday on the North Dakota State Capitol Steps.
- Thank you to all people who participated in the democratic process by “stepping up” running for office and/or voting in last week’s election. In two years there will be another election with openings needing candidates. I invite all of you to ask yourself “What if I would run for office”? Congratulations to the candidates who were selected to serve their respective offices and represent their constituents.
- Thursday from 4:00 to 6:00 CHI Mercy Health is hosting a public open house featuring the new Mammography Department. A state-of-the-art, handicap accessible mammography machine in a comfortable new suite is in place. It is very attractive and user friendly.
- Sunday mid-afternoon the sun was shining beautifully so I went to the golf course where there were a half dozen others playing. Not long after arriving and a few poor shots, I noticed a pair of Bald Eagles majestically soaring over the river and wooded hills. The sky was vivid blue, a half moon was hanging low in the eastern horizon, a shiny jet flying above the moon and the eagles appeared to be soaring higher than the moon & jet. It was mesmerizing, sometimes the simplest things in life are the best.
- Rotating your running & walking shoes allows midsoles to recover before your next walk or run making your legs and feet feel better and extending the life of your shoes. A 2015 study found that runners who rotated their shoes had a 39% lower risk of injury.
- Thank you to all who provide and proof material for this column.
