The Bismarck Parks and Recreation Department recently sent out a survey regarding a potential recreational complex. Iâm sure many readers remember that a measure to help pay for a new complex failed at the ballot last summer.
We talk a lot about how to make our local community a place where people want to live and work. Accessible recreational opportunities are a part of that. In many ways, a new recreational center could be a great way to invest in our community.
There is no doubt that the past vote on the recreation center faced headwinds from the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic. But on top of poor timing, I think there are a lot of other issues that need to be addressed before any proposal goes before the voters again.
The opponent the UMD Bulldogs will face in the first game of the Frozen Four will be shorthanded a couple of big names due to COVID-19. The University of Massachusetts shared Tuesday morning that four players would be out in Thursday s game in Pittsburgh.
The four players impacted are pretty big losses for UMass, including starting goalie and Minnesota Wild prospect Filip Lindberg, backup goaltender Henry Graham, the team s top goal scorer and forward Carson Gicewicz, and forward Jerry Harding will all be out against the Bulldogs in accordance with COVID-19 contact tracing protocols.
This is the second UMD opponent to be impacted by COVID-19, with the Bulldogs opening opponent Michigan not being able to play due to team exposures that led the Wolverines to sit out the opening round of the tournament and give UMD an unexpected bye and extra day s rest before their marathon game against the University of North Dakota.

America’s employers unleashed a burst of hiring in March, adding 916,000 jobs in a sign that a sustained recovery from the pandemic recession is taking hold as vaccinations accelerate, stimulus checks flow through the economy and businesses increasingly reopen. The March increase the most since August was nearly double February’s gain of 468,000, the Labor Department said Friday. The unemployment rate declined from 6.2% to 6%.
U.S. consumer confidence surged in March to the highest reading in a year, helped by increased vaccinations and more government economic support. The Conference Board says its consumer confidence index rose to 109.7 in March, the best showing since it stood at 118.8 in March of last year as the pandemic was beginning to hit the United States.

SUNRISE, Fla. - Remember that three-game losing streak? Yeah, neither do I.
Breaking out of a tie with Lightning and taking over sole possession of first place in the Central Division, the red-hot Panthers swept their homestand and extended their season-long winning streak to six games with a dominant 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets at BB&T Center on Sunday.
Improving to 26-9-4, Florida s 56 points are also currently the most in the entire NHL. You can see that everyone in our locker room is having fun doing this, coming to the rink and playing games and giving everything that you have in the game, Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov said. That s why we re having success. Everyone enjoys it and everyone is having fun.
