I want to express sincere thanks to the West Fargo City Water Department for their expedient, professional, honest and accurate evaluation and work on my recent water line breakage on Center Street. I appreciated the advice given and performance of the entire crew. Kudos to you and...

During Night to Unite on Aug. 1, The West Fargo Police sponsored free rootbeer floats using 16 three-gallon containers of ice cream. Even though there were no signs giving them credit, let's let them know it was very much appreciated and enjoyed by all. Marilyn Beck West Fargo

Many thanks to the members of the Pyrotechnics Guild International (PGI) and their numerous local sponsors and supporters for four incredible nights of entertainment that were provided to area residents as part of the Guild's 2017 Kaleidoscope of Fire convention held at the Red River...

A big Republican talking point is "run government like a business." Many people buy into this idea, but I haven't seen any commitment to it from our Republican leaders. Recently, there have been a slew of health care bills brought forward with no input from healthcare providers, businesses,...

We are in the transition stage or rather already transitioned from the school sports calendar to the summer sports calendar. With that comes a bit of a lull and a few months of trying to put things in this "school of thought" column.

Another disappointment with the decisions made by the leadership of West Fargo. One has to wonder who will be put on administrative leave or be terminated next. Placing Greg Warren on administrative leave is the most unbelievable front page news anyone could imagine.

I would like to commend our North Dakota legislators who voted in support of BreatheND. Lawmakers had some of the strongest push back from SB 2024 than any other bill presented this session. Hours of testimony applauding the agencies successes, emails, calls, and letters to the editors...

West Fargo has started their nationwide search for a new Police Chief. Good luck finding a qualified applicant willing to take the position. I think that they have forgotten about an insignificant little invention called the internet. What happened in West Fargo most certainly did...

To Kris Cramer of Bismarck, do you need a hug to make you feel better? It felt like there was smoke coming out of your ears and lightning bolts coming out of your eyes as you wrote your angry letter about the Congressional women who wore white to the joint session of Congress. As...

I started smoking when I was 13, and was a two-pack-a-day smoker for many years. I watched both my grandfathers die from smoking, and several aunts and uncles. Last year I had part of my left lung removed after recurring lung disease. Quitting smoking was one of the most difficult...

The American Red Cross is recognizing the country's everyday heroes during Red Cross Month. Here in North Dakota, Red Cross volunteers assist people during emergencies, teach lifesaving skills, or give financial donations to help people in need.

The Mayor was asked why he didn't honor his promise of a public hearing to allow the citizens of West Fargo input into the [Mike] Reitan suspension. He claimed he didn't remember saying that. Not only did he say it but he said it on more than one occasion — after the suspension...
