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.
  • “America is a tune.  It must be sung together” ~ Gerald Stanley Lee

Blessings, Pray, be Respectful and Grateful,
