Message From Mayor Carlsrud

Greetings Folks Please “Think”. A number of Campaign signs have been stolen! Whether or not a candidate is your candidate of choice, be thankful for people who are willing to step up, run and serve. Oh, did I mention, stealing is wrong and thieves will be prosecuted?

The weather is mellowing, try getting out and enjoying it.

September 24th VCSU hosted a Social Issues Forum on the lawn at McFarland Hall. It was a beautiful setting and evening. There were introductory statements followed by an “open mic” segment. A number of people shared experiences of which all were heartfelt and informative. A mutual respect for the other person’s position in life was exhibited. Thank you all for the event and thank you

Daijah for inviting me. “To move along, we need to get along”.

Fun! Have you seen the new lights in City Park? It was accom

Good News: Saturday I had the pleasure of observing two of our police officers help an elderly person who was up town and lost. They were compassionate and efficient in accomplishing their mission. Thank you to the officers and Todd Christiansen.
