Wednesday, December 15, 2021 – The year 2020 was unlike any other in America, and among the kids who suffered were the student-athletes who had to give up a year of competition in high school and college. Forum Communications sports writer Jeff Kolpack has been covering their stories and he realized the theme deserved to be documented as a book. The result is COVID Kids. He joins us to discuss how the pandemic affected kids, parents and coaches. More than a medical problem, the pandemic has also been a lifestyle issue. ~~~ The Community Violence Intervention Center recently released a special publication about the work being done in greater Grand Forks to end interpersonal violence. The book, “Two-Generation Guardians,” features community leaders and partners who have contributed to the effort. Joining us is the book’s author, CVIC president and CEO Coiya Tompkins.
At the annual Take Back the Night rally on the UND campus Thursday night, Oct. 15, UND President Andrew Armacost committed to eradicating dating and sexual violence in the UND and Grand Forks communities.
