VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – “While it seems eons ago, I am remembering the nice weather we enjoyed in November and December; I am grateful we had it. Now, having weeks of snow and cold, that time is more distant, but days are getting longer and the sun’s rays are getting stronger so we can be grateful a warmer season is nearer.

Be careful on the river, as there is water being released from Baldhill dam, there is water run-off from last week’s melting and the river currents causing constant change in ice thickness. Good luck to you folks who are fishing.

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was played recently with a local flavor.

February 21st is Presidents’ Day and our country honors all who have served as United States President. It seems to me a person’s presidency would require huge sacrifices and commitment by their families. Thank you to all the families who supported the presidents.”

“Every post is honorable in which a person can serve our country.”
(George Washington)
