Long ago many things were made by hand. There are a wide range of handmade items on display in the Eddy County Museum from breadboxes and bloomers to cowbells and cleavers. But are such items art? Or simply a sign of the times when resources were scarce and people resourceful. But at what point does something stop being handmade and instead becomes a thoughtful piece of art work? I'm not sure there is an answer for that question, especially for us 21st century digital folk. If any of us were to...
The Central Cass Squirrels came to NR-S for a girls' and boys' basketball doubleheder on December 29, and came away with wins over the Rockets in both instances. The Squirrel girls, who have since moved to the top spot in the Class B girls' basketball poll, had no trouble with the Rockets in a 61-19 rout in the opener. Game two proved well worth the price of admission, with Central Cass winning by the slimmest of margins, 56-55. Evan Ulrich's 22 points were the top performance for NR-S in defeat...

New Rockford-Sheyenne was wholly unprepared for the surprise the Shiloh Christian Skyhawks had in store for them.

The ball had dropped, the calendar had turned. 2020 was officially in the rear-view mirror. As I made my way through the field-side tree rows and up the winding draws, however, the year did not seem over until I returned to the truck on the final day of the upland hunting season. In tow were a pair of rooster pheasants that held tight in the brush, with the unseasonably warm southerly gales giving the auditory cover for my dog and I to get close enough for the final shots of the season. It was...
The holiday season is crazy, especially during a pandemic, so I'm guessing a few worthy news and notes from the outdoors may have slipped by. Here's a few I think even non-hunters and anglers may find interesting. Salmon in North Dakota? Yes, we do have a viable salmon population in North Dakota and fisheries crews have completed their annual salmon spawning operation on the Missouri River System, after collecting more than 2.1 million eggs. Russ Kinzler, North Dakota Game and Fish Department Mi...
Outdoor notes: *Ice is never completely safe. Avoid areas with vegetation, moving water, pressure ridges and springs. Check conditions as you go along on the ice and don’t move around at night. *North Dakota state parks remain open with trails usable for hiking. Check with individual parks for other available amenities this winter. Tournaments (check with event organizers for scheduling updates): *Jan. 16: Lake Josephine, Lake Ashtabula. Fishing: *Devils Lake elevation, Jan. 5: 1,448.51 feet a...
Smartphone Apps for Ice Fishing Advancements in technology, easily retrieved on the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s website, allow ice anglers access to more than 200 lake contour maps, providing yet another tool in the angler’s tackle box. “Back when we first started mapping in the early 2000s, anglers pretty much had to print a paper lake contour map at home and take it with them to help navigate and find the underwater features,” said Jerry Weigel, Department fisheries production and development section supervisor. Times have ch...
While the upland bird hunting seasons have ended in North Dakota, the work for the staff of the state's Game and Fish Department (NDG&F) is just getting underway in an effort to tally hunter hours in the field, their relative success and also the data from submitted samples to help gain the information needed through surveys and wings submitted by sportsmen. Through those hunter surveys and sample envelopes, biologists and staff can determine sportsman effort, estimated total harvest of...
