John Pangrac, Minot On the weekend of September 26 & 27 the ND class B girls state golf tournament took place at Souris Valley Golf Course in Minot. Our National Anthem was sung by Aleina Billings . She did an amazing job of singing our nation’s song. A beautiful song done right! There was not one person wearing a hat or didn’t have their hand on their heart! Thanks again, Miss Aleina Billings.
Wayne T. Monson, Minot It sure was good to have our Norsk Hostfest again this year! The food, the vendors and the great entertainment all made for a most enjoyable experience, one to be remembered. I enjoyed our Norsk Hostfest immensely! To every one of you involved who contributed to this year’s Hostfest including the many sponsors . . . many tanks!!! Note: “Tanks” is how the old Norwegians pronounced the word “thanks.”
Cynthia Sessions, Minot If you haven’t had a chance yet to witness the spectacular fall colors of Minot’s trees from the heights of the new walking path in Northwest Minot, off of County Road 15, you are missing out on a great valley view of the Trestle and the surrounding hills.

Duane Brekke, Minot I was very fortunate that as a baby I never fell out of my crib on the head — therefore I have never been negative. THE NORSK HOSTFEST IS BACK! We just completed a very successful festival! I can assure you that we will not be moving the Hostfest to Surrey, Simcoe or any other spot, even along the Red River. For those of us who love Minot and work to make it a better city — we couldn’t be happier with EPIC.
Eric Suwall Minot The MDN poll on 9.23 asks if the US government should get involved in promoting certain domestic industries. Unsurprisingly, a majority of respondents said ‘no’, the government should not get involved. It would be great if the MDN made this question more specific regarding the type of industries they had in mind, but given the political bent of the paper, I assume that the question is really asking if the Biden administration should promote green energy and chip manufacturing. Since we are in North Dakota after all, maybe we should consider what would ...
