Hello Folks,
- I hope last week you all had a few things in your lives for which to be grateful.
- Christmas and Hanukkah are two religious celebrations culminating next week. Blessings to all who are celebrating their respective events.
- Last week the Joint North Dakota Water Convention and the Mid-West Electric Consumers Association (MECA) Conference were held.
- Some of the Joint North Dakota Water Convention topics relating to our water included rural and municipal water management, battling aquatic nuisances, legislative updates, flood control and the State Water Commission Meeting.
- The winter sports and fine arts seasons are underway. Sports and fine arts events need officials and judges; “Without officials, it is only practice”! Give back, become an official or judge; call the North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA) 701-845-3953 for information.
- The MECA Conference offered numerous topics relating to our electrical power supply of which some were battery storage, hydropower generation on the Missouri River System and financial stewardship on our behalf. That I attended the MECA Conference, I want to offer gratitude to Jim Horan and the MECA Team for their gracious hospitality and wonderful conference. Thank you all.
- People have been continually adding winter lighting in and around their homes. Thank you for adding to the beauty of your properties and to the beauty of our community.
- Remember if your garbage container is overfull, the truck can’t dump your container without damaging it, thus it will not be emptied. If you have too much garbage periodically, consider partnering with neighbors. Maybe you can help each other.
- Thank you to all who provide and proof material for this column.
- “If there is love in your heart and your mind, you will feel Christmas all the time.” ~ Faith Hill
