December 12, 2013 Golden Valley News - Hat Tips ! Contracts in sports and golfing with the coach Sip sl Hello, I suppose most of you in Bison country are aware that the coach of the Thundering Herd, the Bison of NDSU, has announced he is leav- ing for Wyoming. I understand he is a great coach, and has done a tremendous job of elevating the Bison to national prominence in college football. But what I don't understand is why contracts aren't honored in sports. And since I am a heck of an athlete, maybe that is why I don't understand. If you plan on leaving anyway, why negotiate a contract. I know I am in the minority on this, but I would have said, "Good- bye. Thank you for all you have done. And you can watch the championship game on ESPN from a motel room in Laramie." But then that's just me. It's a far cry from the way Fred Fridley Sr. handled his stint at Wat- ford City. As head coach for 42 years, he was several times coach of the year in North Dakota, and one time National High School Coach of the Year. He could have left Watford at any time for more money and more prestige. But he became a Wolf. And he stayed a Watford City Wolf. I think that was But what I don't understand is why contracts aren't honored in sports. And since I am a heck of an athlete, maybe that is why I don't understand. If you plan on leaving anyway, why negoti- ate a contract. a touch of class that most coaches and most pro athletes do not have. I'm not sure if I told you that I kind of coached Fred in golf. You see, Fred and I were golf partners in league golf for a number of years. I coached him well. He gave me a stroke a hole and two on the par 5's. Then we played pretty even. But as many of you know, and I wrote about it several years ago, Foundation OKs largest grant pro! The North Dakota Newspaper As- sociation Education Foundation (NDNAEF) has approved its largest grant program ever, allocating $33,000 to educational programs. The grant lineup includes two new programs. One is a program to en- courage and assist North Dakota high schools in establishing or enhancing journalism programs. The second is a marketing campaign to combat the perception that newspapers are dying. The program also is heavy on funding internships at North Dakota newspapers, and providing continu- ing education seminars for working journalists. One of the goals of the foundation is to encourage young people to con- sider careers in journalism, according to foundation Secretary Steve An- drist, executive director of the North Dakota Newspaper Association (NDNA). In addition, the foundation is fo- cusing on spreading the word, docu- mented in a variety of national The program also is heavy on fund- ing internships at North Dakota newspapers, and providing continu- ing education sem- inars for working journalists. readerships studies that newspapers continue to have strong readership despite the proliferation of social and mobile media. Grants approved by the NDNAEF board include: $10,000 for summer college stu- dent internships at North Dakota newspapers. $10,000 for continuing educa- tion workshops. $2,500 for high school students working in school year internships at Fred and I are both deaf. You know. Like "What'd you say?" Our conversations during a round of golf would go something like, "How are the cattle doing?" And I would rely, "I bought Will a saddle for his birthday." Fred. "What'd you get on that hole?" Me. "I filled the cart last week. It's your turn." Me. "How are the boys doing?" Fred. "I think it's about 150 yards." Me. "Did you tell Betty Ann we're gong to Dickinson to golf?" Fred. "They are having a golf tourney in Dickinson. We should go." Me. "That wind is coming up. Think it's going to blow up a rain?" Fred. "The train doesn't come through here anymore. Hasn't for years." Me. "I don't know. Sometimes you can get eyedrops that help." And so it would go. But I will tell you one thing. If you owed him seven dollars at the end of the round, and you said you owed him six, he could damn sure hear! Congratulations Partner! Enjoy! Later, Dean ]ram in its history North Dakota newspapers. $1,000 for high school students working in summer internships at North Dakota newspapers. $4,000 to encourage and/or en- hance journalism programs in North Dakota high schools. $3,000 to develop a marketing campaign promoting the future of newspapers. $2,500 to sponsor the North Dakota State Spelling Bee. The high school journalism pro- gram is a cooperative venture with the South Dakota Newspaper Asso- ciation (SDNA) and South Dakota State University (SDSU). The grant will be used to survey North Dakota High Schools about whether they have journalism programs and to en- courage establishment of journalism programs for those who don't. South Dakota entities already have established a curriculum and are working on a web site to support it. The North Dakota grant will buy the curriculum and web site support for? 10 North Dakota high schools. : "The mocha frappe sounds inter- esting," my 15-year-old daughter said as we stood at the restaurant counter. She went to find a booth. I admit I was a little preoccupied thinking about the day's tasks. I heard "mocha" and figured she wanted her usual hot mocha drink on a cold day. I arrived at the booth and distrib- uted the beverages and food to my family. My daughter tasted her drink and announced with surprise: "It's hot!" "You really wanted an icy drink on the coldest day so far this year?" I replied. My husband looked at me as though I had dropped off her dog at the pound. "Oh, this will be OK," she said. She looked at me with puppy-dog eyes just as her dog does when he wants a treat. I wasn't keen on spending $4 on another beverage. She decided she wanted a snack, so my husband went to buy it and returned with the snack and a mocha frappe. Dads like to "spoil" their daughters, I guess. She proceeded to alternately drink her hot and cold mocha. I sipped my economical, calorie-free cup of coffee. I'm not a teen any- more by a long shot. I'd be buying larger-sized jeans next week if I drank all those calories. My husband and daughter flipped over the tray liner and began read- ing the calories. "Wow!" they said as their eyes widened. My teen was going to be wired with energy. The small, cold mocha had 450 calories and the small, hot mocha had 330 calories. The restaurant didn't list the caf- feine content. Fortunately, she drank half of each beverage and put the rest in the fridge at home for the next day. Beverages choices can make a major difference in our daily diet. Many people do not realize how many calories can be contributed by their nondiet sodas, special coffees or, for adults, any alcohol-contain- en spec Dec. 19th, 1:00 W.P.
