Wind chills approaching 30 below with a frozen golf course with some snow on it greeted the runners. Lisa Hopkins and Steve Swandon placed fourth and sixth for Lisbon.

Cary read a letter from City Council President Luke Anderson that thanked the repre- sentatives for being here and spoke briefly to some of Forman’s chal- lenges. Introductions were also done by Mayor Bopp, and Holt and Brown of the Governor’s Office. Holt and Brown explained that they are part of the Department of Com- merce, which is a cabinet agency that works with the Governor. Holt stressed that the Main Street Initia- tive was purposefully structured to be an initiative and not a program, because they are not trying to fit the range of involved communities into one model. Representatives from state and federal partner organizations also introduced themselves, and this included nine people from the following agencies: Child Care Aware of North Dakota, North Dakota Small Business Center, Emerging Prairie Nonprofit, the Small Business Administration (which is a Federal Agency), Lake Agassiz Development Group Re- gional Council, the USDA Rural Development, North Dakota Rural Electric and Telecommunications Co-op, and Wildlife Resource Management. The floor was then opened for questions and discussion and be- gan with the topic of jobs and em- ployment. Holt asked employment questions regarding the school and the healthcare industry, which were fielded by Mindie Bopp and Nathan Schlecht respectively. The group also spoke to chal- lenges and needs regarding em- ployee retention across small busi- ness positions. Holt then turned to the student council students. “When you have friends in town, what do you do?” she asked right off the bat. “What’s your favorite thing to do? If you have a free weekend what do you do?” Students spoke about the pool in the summer, but also spoke to driving around town and out of town, to go to movies and places to eat in other cities. Wendy Willprecht suggested extending the back of the Quick Stop building, and creating a lounge-type place that could be utilized by the coffee crowd in the morning, and for making pizza and visiting in the evening. The students also spoke to their wish list items for the city, and suggested things like a mov- ie theater, basketball court, and a coffee shop. Holt gave the example of Tea Berry in Fargo. She stated, “It’s not fancy, but if you draw a 90-mile radius around Fargo, kids have been to Tea Berry.” When she asked the students if they had been there in Fargo, “Oh my gosh yes!” was the response. One resident then turned to the topic of open enrollment, and stat- ed that she believes it has hurt the school. Holt provided ideas as to events that students could get involved in, volunteer for, and lead. She sug- gested a three on three basketball tournament that was accompanied by a car show, or an art in the park event, and even a musical event that could run concurrently. Stu- dents expressed excitement and willingness to be involved. Holt also asked the students about the size of their social me- dia networks. She stated that with each student having a social media reach of around 500, that students have an incredible potential to pro- mote events. Pat Olofson spoke to the chal- MAIN STREET INITIATIVE...

that she started in her position, and she signed the city of Forman up for the program. Cary read a letter from City Council President Luke Anderson that thanked the repre-sentatives for being here and spoke briefly to some of Forman’s chal-lenges.

Introductions were also done by Mayor Bopp, and Holt and Brown of the Governor’s Office. Holt and Brown explained that they are part of the Department of Com-merce, which is a cabinet agency that works with the Governor. Holt stressed that the Main Street Initia-tive was purposefully structured to be an initiative and not a program, because they are not trying to fit the range of involved communities into one model.

Representatives from state and federal partner organizations also introduced themselves, and this included nine people from the following agencies: Child Care Aware of North Dakota, North Dakota Small Business Center, Emerging Prairie Nonprofit, the Small Business Administration (which is a Federal Agency), Lake Agassiz Development Group Re-gional Council, the USDA Rural Development, North Dakota Rural Electric and Telecommunications

Co-op, and Wildlife Resource Management.

The floor was then opened for questions and discussion and be-gan with the topic of jobs and em-ployment. Holt asked employment questions regarding the school and the healthcare industry, which were fielded by Mindie Bopp and Nathan Schlecht respectively.

The group also spoke to chal-lenges and needs regarding em-ployee retention across small busi-ness positions.

Holt then turned to the student council students. “When you have friends in town, what do you do?” she asked right off the bat. “What’s your favorite thing to do? If you have a free weekend what do you do?” Students spoke about the pool in the summer, but also spoke to driving around town and out of town, to go to movies and places to eat in other cities.

Wendy Willprecht suggested extending the back of the Quick Stop building, and creating a lounge-type place that could be utilized by the coffee crowd in the morning, and for making pizza and visiting in the evening.

The students also spoke to their wish list items for the city, and suggested things like a mov-

ie theater, basketball court, and a coffee shop. Holt gave the example of Tea Berry in Fargo. She stated, “It’s not fancy, but if you draw a 90-mile radius around Fargo, kids have been to Tea Berry.” When she asked the students if they had been there in Fargo, “Oh my gosh yes!” was the response.

One resident then turned to the topic of open enrollment, and stat-ed that she believes it has hurt the school.

Holt provided ideas as to events that students could get involved in, volunteer for, and lead. She sug-gested a three on three basketball tournament that was accompanied by a car show, or an art in the park event, and even a musical event that could run concurrently. Stu-dents expressed excitement and willingness to be involved.

Holt also asked the students about the size of their social me-dia networks. She stated that with each student having a social media reach of around 500, that students have an incredible potential to pro-mote events.
