I just wanna say Hello, although it's not like anyone here is going to remember me.
I lived in Williston for a short time in 2006, during mid summer to early fall. I do kinda miss the town and someday, maybe I'll come back if I can find a job in my field out there.
Here's hope that everyone have a very safe, joyous and prosperous holiday season!

People- Gone are those days that high school teams could have rebuilding years and it was accepted by the community. Please, don't make the kids feel any worse than they already feel. Support, don't criticize, Please!!!!! Thank you Tami

Wow embarassed... some nerve you have!! You must not have children involved in sports! Must not have played sports yourself?!!?!? I have been a basketball coach and am also a parent of an athlete! Never once have I heard such negative comments! 63-0 or not, the Coyotes deserve some respect, it obviously isnt going to come from you so please keep your rude, arrogant comments to yourself!!

There really isn't much to ask when you get beat 63-0. It happens. Maybe you got out played or out coached. Either way they need to pick themselves up and play another day. To see how the team recovers from a loss like that show what kind of a team they really are. The negative comments are necessary. They are going into the real world soon. If they do a crappy job, they will get negative comments. Quit trying to shelter them and giving them ribbons and trophies for last place. They lost. Maybe that's what's wrong with parents these days. If you really want to know why they lost, start looking at the coaches’ win/loss record. That would show what really is going on with the program.

Ms. Benth. It is too bad you think so poorly about Williston. I am a transplant and I love it here. I think Williston has some of the nicest people I have ever met. I personally may leave someday, but not because of anything bad about Williston, more likly to move closer to my mom, or for a new job. That being said I have no intention of leaving any time soon. I am one trying to be one of those people that thinks Williston is a great place and is willing to put in the extra work to make Williston even better. Mrs. Benth please enjoy paradise, and do not come back, we do not need people with your atitude here. Jeremy

EMBARRASSED, Are you kidding me? It is a game! They went out and played the game. Who are you to judge them? Enjoy watching them try and give them encouragement to keep trying, not knock them down because they didn't win a game. Vicki

I have not been on the guestbook in awhile but, now that i am catching up I feel that I have to say something to "EMBARRASSED". How dare you say that the football score of 63-0 is untolerable! who are you to judge. What are we supposed to do to these football players?!! Should we ground them?! would that make you happy. You obviously do not have kids. Let's pray that you don't! I do and they have been on both the winning and losing side of the fence. It is all part of life. you will not always win in the big world. I was not at the game of course but, good job team for giving it your all! The only person that I am embarrassed for here is "EMBARRASSED" for being so ignorant. anita (bossingham)thiele

I've always loved to watch our children play sports. Why? Because they give it their all, all of the time. No politics, no egos, just play your heart out. My opinion is, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose. They play to learn teamwork, to work as a group, rather than just a single person, and they learn sportsmanship. Negative comments about performance only serves to defeat those principles we hope to teach them. Support these children. When you see the smiles on their faces, and the personal pride in their eyes and smiles, it's so well worth our time and efforts. FormerResident

I know there are always rumors flying around town. The take and bake pizza place??? Papa Murphys (good pizza)... did have an add in the paper advertising a mgr for their Williston location...so it apparantly is in the works...but where??? who knows. Jack & Jewels... I too know the mgr. I understand it is NOT opening up again because the owners from Bismarck did not sign a lease like they intended. I HOPE they do open up again, or someone else opens up a Bar-B-Q... maybe some of our new southern residence will talk one of their friends from down south to come on up and open up something. Burger King.. yah I've heard so many rumors...next to Simonsons, in front of Wal-Mart, etc... etc... until it happens, I guess we won't know. People are now starting rumors that I Keatings bout Keatings, just to close it down... too many gossipers in this town...lol carol

These kids are giving their all even tho they have buddies that don't want to play so they don't get hurt cuz of hockey or some other sport. We are using all the kids that come out as a team but it is hard to compete with all the big schools. We have a awesome program and the kids and coaches deserve praise for doing what they love.

EMBARRASSED, what is wrong with you, these people that you are speaking of are children! Some of these boys are pouring their heart and soul into the game that you are speaking of! What a way to crush any kind of game spirit they may have! SHAME ON YOU!!! former coyote

I'm horrified to hear about the brutal killings of these dogs! How is it NOBODY seen Anything strange or unusual!!! Someone, somewhere knows who did this! This kind of thing doesnt happen by just one person. They will "brag" about it. This makes me sick! Im so sorry to Lonnie and her family!! You have my family support and anything we hear we will report to you and the local Sheriff ASAP!! God Bless You!! Shayla Madden

I periodically check the Williston Herald online to see how you are all doing. My folks were born there. I really enjoy reading the positive things written about the community. I think you are all very good people and you live in a beautiful town. Mostly good things happen and good things are said. Don't ignore the bad. Acknowledge it and work towards solutions. Nothing is perfect. God bless and keep you each and every one. Suzanne Vohs

To Embarrassed...if you can't put your name on a comment, maybe you shouldn't be commenting? Our football boys played hard. The final outcome wasn't the ending they wanted either, but they didn't quit. I find your unsigned, uncompassionate comment unacceptable and should not be tolerated. Tara (Coyote Football Player MOM)

If you refuse to put your real name and contact email your opinion does not count.
If you are going to say something have enough guts to stand behind what you are saying. Jeremy

Well once again the rumors are flying around town. One Im pretty disgusted in. About all the dog killings. Its a shame that someone has to do this. I heard 6 or 7 have been taken so far, and yes Im trying to help as much as I can, posting Lonnies story on myspace and facebook.
But the big rumor is, the "cult" that is doing this is gearing up for something big. Something to happen on Halloween. Ha, how many years has this been going on? Someone always says there is going to be a gang initiation on Halloween, where they take so many kids.. Whatever.
Its just sad that someone has to stoop so low, I mean come on, what kind of low-life slimeball would do that? I hope they feel really good about themselves.
More rumors- The lot beside Simonsons is going to be a Burger King! Ya, randy is making way for more vacuums for the car wash.
And whatever happened to the take and place pizza beside Sears? Anyone know? Oh, Jack and Jewels is closed for good. No, I spoke to the manager a few weeks ago, its going to open as soon as they are done remodeling the new building.
Here is another one, True Value is closing its doors.. Nope wrong again, but they are waiting for the OK to start remodeling the store, new roof, new lights, new floor, new layout. Anyone know of anymore? morerumores

This stealing and shooting of dogs is horrible. We lost our dog around the Spring Lake Park area a month ago. I read somewhere a few days later that another dog had gone missing around the same time. What is the purpose of harming a dog, let alone one that belongs to someone else. My kids are very upset and miss our dog. It is just sad. Lisa
