 All right and finally tonight before we go we want to let everyone know that this is Justin Prince's last night with us here on Lakeland News. Justin is leaving us to take a job as sports director at the Fox affiliate in Fort Wayne Indiana but before we hear from Justin first here's our news director and Lakeland News anchor Dennis Wyman who has a special message for Justin and our viewers right now. Justin sorry I can't be here on your final night but I wanted to wish you well and take a moment to look back at some of the highlights of the Justin Prince era here at Lakeland Public Television. One of Justin's first stories with us centered on food, pizza in fact, a local pizzeria giving back to the community on Thanksgiving. But for the local pizzeria it's about more than profits and a good advertisement. It's about good food and a sense of family. About a week later Justin made his sports reporting debut for Lakeland. But after a shaky one-and-two start to the season both players and coaches have no doubts in their mind that they can turn this around. From there he covered just about everything from storm damage and with many residents in the Brainer Lakes area in need of cleanup services local officials say you need to think and do your research before you hire to BIR and as happy as track officials are about the upcoming season they aren't the only ones excited about a packed BIR schedule. Justin even anchored the news. Good evening everyone thanks for joining us. I'm Justin Prince filling in for Dennis Wyman. A Bemidji man is in stable but serious condition after a friend also anchored the weather for us. Those averages staying around the mid 40s low 50s very high temperatures for this time of the year but we promise you it's still not spring it's on its way there's still snow on the ground it's winter in Minnesota. But what he'll be most remembered by is his sports anchoring. The BSU football team was looking to add for their future on National Signing Day Wednesday. All while having fun doing it. Not a perfect night for trick-or-treating. Justin handed out some candy here at the station. Did you agree I'm looking like that? I did yeah it was great. Very much Stacy and that does it here for us tonight everyone. Happy New Year have a safe weekend and we'll see you next year. Good night. So Justin once again congratulations on the new job. We're very proud of you. We're going to miss you a ton here. You did a great job covering our local sports scene giving us 110 percent every day. We are certainly going to miss you on the air but also behind the scenes where your booming presence of life will certainly be missed. Best of luck and congratulations. Well thank you very much. It was a very kind sentiment from Dennis. I lost for words right now. It's hard to believe that this was you know two and a half years ago I moved to the Minnesota realm of the world and came bursting onto your TV scene. I thank you all for for you know inviting me into your family rooms your living rooms your wherever you may have a TV every single night. It's it's been a blast of two years and I wouldn't have traded this for the world. You know they say home is where the heart is. I'm a Wisconsin boy at heart. My home will always reside in Wisconsin. My heart will always reside in Wisconsin but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't leaving a little piece of it here. I'm going to miss it here and I thank you all very much for a wonderful time. All right thank you very much Justin. Good luck in Indiana and definitely you'll be missed. Thank you all very much. All right.
