Good morning, Minot.

A group of ladies at Edgewood Healthcare in Minot made patriotic wreaths for veterans who live at the center — the project honored the service and sacrifice of local heroes.

Mike Hayes, a retired construction contractor, was sworn in as the newest Minot City Council member on Tuesday—filling the seat left vacant when Mark Jantzer became mayor on August 5.

He will serve until the next election in June and plans to use his construction experience to help address the city's stagnant growth.

State agencies provided over $3 million to upgrade Minot's water system and roughly $640,000 to help Kenmare replace cast-iron mains and improve water quality — West Fargo, Grafton and Jamestown also received state loans for water system upgrades.

The City of Minot will hold fall cleanup week for sanitation customers from Sept.

8 through 12—offering free landfill drop off and bulk curbside pickup for acceptable items. Residents must place items on their front-yard boulevard on their regular collection day as crews begin pickup at 7 a.m. and will not take large quantities of construction materials or bulky debris.

The Knights volleyball team at Our Redeemer is working hard to return to state after missing the tournament for only the third time since 2012 — they have increased practice and strategy sessions to improve their game.
