What is the status of Rolette Counties 911 service being managed by operators in Rolette County??? Aren’t there enough phone in Rolette County to make it profitable to run the dispatch by Rolette people??? What kind of service satisfaction does Devil’s Lake guarantee??? Are all the counties serviced by Devil’s Lake Happy????? Is the Devil’s Lake equipmentup today???? Does Bottineau County offer a solution. Is the cut .60 for personnel and .40 for equipment rental???? With that cut we should be able to pay operators $8.24/hour. Not a bad pay rate. Don’t we want JOBS like that in Rolette county??? Can we assume that operators in the County can process 911 calls better and FASTER????? Please comment. I am sure I have some misinformation . Enlighten me!!!
Several members from Valle Lutheran Church were on hand last week to spruce up the church. Under the direction of Rodney Johnson….. the church was scrapped and painted. Even the cross! Nothing detoured the dynamic group of volunteers from completing their job; not the storm that ran through town nor a scary episode that involved the Pastor,a ladder and a paint can! The volunteers were from young to old and their hard work is very much appreciated by all. I wonder how the other churches look? I bet they are looking good or soon will be..we shall check it out.
Can you believe that the Rolette community put forth a spring consignment auction? It was a unique way to get rid of what you don’t need and to earn some extra cash. Some of the best deals could be found.. if you had the stamina to wait for the auctioneer to get to the items you were looking for. (I know my brother in law came away with great treasures that he decided needed to be shared with my children). The auction started around 9 am with the berm of main street full of treasures and the auction completed around 10 p.m. What a long day! The day was full of visiting, collecting items and friends, and bidding on prized items! Several community groups were on hand to assist with your comfort needs. The All for Christ Group served cotton candy, mini doughnuts, and cold pop. The Rolette Fire Department served brats, dogs and bbqs out of the fire hall. They shared the garage with the Ladies of WELCA who served pies and coffee. I heard tell the wonders of a cherry pie that was to die for…. hmmm? I wonder if that could be a new business in town.. Rolette the Cherry Pie capital?
The class is finally done! It was a long hard class but the participants enjoyed it. This class was welcomed into the Leadership Alumi but the the Leadership Plenty 2007 class. At the ceremony, the 2007 class offered words of wisdom, thankfulness for the class they took, and the freindships that were made. Tears were brought to my eyes but the bonds these people made, the work they are currently doing and the acknowledgement they gave us, the trainers. We can accomplish great works! Heres to the inspiration of the NEW Leaders of this community. Go forth and do good!
