The current temperature is 46 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 64/37
Normal H/L temp for this date is 55/31
It was 84 degrees on this date in 1926
Rain isn't always a bad thing. During a flood, however, it rarely is a
good thing.

The Park River reading in Grafton at 10:45 am was at 15.47 feet and
continues to rise. Although I haven't heard any "official" word yet, the
last indication I have, is that the river levels west of town appears to
be dropping.
The possibility of rain the next few days not only adds a level of
stress to the dikes around town, it also increases the level of stress
to those working 24 hours a day protecting us from the ravages of flood.
-------------------------------------
The mention of Grizzy, the Grizzly Bear and neighborhood grocery stores
gave Mary reason to share the following. >>>>
Hi Gary,
I just have to add about John and Kathy's Grizzly Bear - Not only has
it caused a stir in town but I must have had 20 people here at work ask
me if I have seen the bear, to which of course I get to say that I live
only two doors down. There is a lot of people in Grand Forks interested
in driving up to see the bear. Maybe there should be an unveiling or
showing or some kind of event when it is completed. Just a thought as a
way to draw business to town. Oh and I remember "Kings" grocery on 8th
and main. Take Care and stay dry.
Mary <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Mary. Rumor has it
"Grizzy" might also be getting his own lighting system soon, as well.
------------------------------------
Talk about neighborhood grocery stores gave Twila reason to share this
note. >>> Your list of grocery stores got me thinking about O'Connor's
Etc. and all of the fun times with the O'Connor crew. <<<< Thanks a
million Twila and of course many will remember that O'Connor's
eventually became Vally-Jo's.
Are memories wonderful?
-------------------------------------
I wonder if anyone remembers the following quote? Even more important
than that. I wonder how many people actually believe it? >>>>
"We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and
minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal
immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of
unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a
long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would
like to have as 'Americans'."
----------------------------------------
Speaking of quotes. Keith sent the following thoughts. >>>> Gary -
I liked your use of quotes on the "shoulda, coulda, woulda."
scenario; there is another good one that fits public apathy:
Some people make it happen,
Some people watch it happen,
the rest wonder what happened
Keep up the good work,
.....Keith M. <<<<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Keith.

Frank Narloch
Frank B. Narloch, 79 of Minto, ND passed away on Sunday, April 12, 2009.
Frank was united in marriage to Leona "Dolly" Wysocki on December 1,
1951 at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Minto, ND. Frank served in
the Korean Conflict and following his discharge he returned home and
started farming. He retired in 1994.
Frank was a member of numerous boards throughout the area, not the
least of which was the Board of the Red River Valley Sugar Beet Growers
Association, and he served on the Board of Directors of American Crystal
Sugar Company. Positions for which I grew to know and admire him best.
He believed that Hard Work and Honest Sweat are the building blocks of
a persons character.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Dolly on Dec. 20, 2007,
sister Bernadine Peters and brother-in-law Don Kamrowski.
Mass of Christian Burial will be Saturday, April 18, 2009 at 10:30 A.M.
at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Minto. Visitation will be Friday
from 5-7 PM with a prayer service at 7:00 PM and Saturday for one hour
prior to the service all at the church. Interment will be at the Sacred
Heart Catholic Cemetery, Minto, ND. Military rites will be provided
by the Minto American Legion Post #201.
The Tollefson Funeral Home of Grafton is in charge of the arrangements.
<<<<
Frank once told me, "the character of a man can be read in the
manner upon which he works." That being said, Frank's character speaks
volumes. He leaves our world a better place, and I a better person for
having known him. We extend our deepest sympathies and most heartfelt
condolences to the Frank Narloch family.
