Record temps in Minot
Whitney Pandil-Eaton/MDN --
Shane Arra, a recent transplant from Arkansas, is seen here playing Frisbee with Cody, her 6-month-old German shepard, Friday afternoon at the dog park.
There was a flurry of activity on the sidewalks, walking and bike trails, and in the parks in Minot as adults and children with the day off from school took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather Friday to complete outdoor chores or simply enjoy what could be one of the last summer-like days of 2009.
The temperatures were so unseasonable in fact that two North Dakotan cities recorded new record high temperatures and two others tied their respective records.

Last winter North Dakota residents scurried about and dug through and pushed around record snowfall. It wasn’t too warm either.
Country church still serves area
November 7, 2009
The country church clearly represented the spirit of early North Dakotans. The familiar white steeple topped with a gleeming cross symbolized unity in a land where people of varied ethnic backgrounds shared a common belief.

TV a blast from the pastWed, November 4, 2009 @ 6:51PM The ’80s have exploded all over my set in a way they haven’t since I stopped watching VH1’s “I Love the ’80s” a few years back. First off, in my ongoing efforts to digitize my extensive VHS collection, I encountered a tape from quite a long time ago that had “Pop Up Videos.” In that it had music videos at all, of course, the tape was quite dated. Pop Up videos featured standard music videos with snarky little bits of trivia and factoids about the song, the shoot, costs of various items in the video and so forth. This of course was more of a ’90s upgrade, designed to keep people interested in music videos, which were starting to lose out to game shows, contests and reality television like “The Real World.” The newest assault on music videos I’ve encountered are “literal” videos where new audio is dubbed in to make fun of overwrought, ‘80s visual.

Seat Belts Save Lives: Part TwoMon, November 2, 2009 @ 1:09PM What is it going to take before kids start wearing seat belts? And, maybe more to the point, what is it going to take for North Dakota to raise the age for a kid to get a driver's license? Again this weekend The Minot Daily News received two accident reports from the North Dakota Highway Patrol. One report was of five teenage girls, a 15-year-old driver and four 14-year-old friends, driving together on Halloween night on a rural road near Menoken. The 15-year-old lost control and the car yawed clockwise and overturned as it entered the ditch. Then the car went airborne, struck two large trees, and came to rest on its passenger side, facing east. Two of the girls were apparently not wearing belts and were thrown from the car. One girl died and the other was taken to the hospital with injuries. The three other girls in the car all had belts on and were protected with air bags.

Clean the fieldThu, October 15, 2009 @ 2:36PM With snow in the area today but better weather on the way, Minot State University should be out cleaning its football field so it might be somewhat dry come Saturday. After all, MSU is built on speed and a mud wrestling match Saturday with Black Hills State doesn't help the Beavers. But it looked like the maintenance staff was just clearing off the lines so they could be painted. I asked one of the assistant coaches if the field was going to be cleared at all today. He rolled his eyes. We joked that the only way it would be done would to get the poor redshirt freshmen out there with shovels. That is unacceptable. This isn't the first time I have heard MSU coaches upset with something not being done. I understand they are busy, we all are, but things like that will have to be improved when MSU moves to Division II. We joke about it all the time in the office, oh that's an NAIA thing, but it is true. The move to Division II is a step up for everybody - everybod.
