Agreed that a constitutional amendment vote would likely fail, but Mayville and Bottineau should both be closed. Williston, Bismarck, and Lake Region (Devils Lake) are not in the constitution, but of those, only Devils Lakes could even be considered for closure at this point.
It looks like the paper did avoid using her name, but I suppose it's obvious to those who know them. There is quite a bit of detail in there for a domestic violence story, with the hospital's report to the PD, victim's statement, etc. Hopefully it doesn't discourage future victims from seeking care.
Back in the day the teachers taught one lesson plan for the entire class. Now they have individualized education programs (IEPs) that target each individual student. That plus less respectful and more poorly behaved students means the teachers need as many helpers/paras in the classroom as they can get.
Our DL couldn't get to the QB and the DBs lost almost every jump ball challenge throughout the season. I'm not saying they're incapable, but they were often in a position to make a play that wasn't made this year. Hopefully another offseason of weights and a bad taste in their mouth from the way the season ended is enough, along with some scheme changes, to cut the 3rd and 20+ conversion rate under 15% next year.
