Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any tax breaks that you know of for family caregivers? I help financially support my 82-year-old mother and would like to find out if I can write any of these expenses off on my taxes. Supplemental Sam Dear Sam, There are actually several tax credits and deductions available to adult children who help look after their aging parents or other relatives. Here are some options, along with the IRS requirements, to help you determine if you’re eligible to receive them. T...
On Friday, Jan. 7, the New Rockford-Sheyenne gymnasium hosted the Region 4 contest between the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets and the Rolla Bulldogs. The Rockets took off with the bone and buried it, to defeat the Bulldogs 44-39. After a tough, double-overtime loss to the Bulldogs back on Dec. 3 during the CNDC tournament in Rugby, the Rockets knew what they would be up against. With the tip going to the Bulldogs, the Rockets went straight into two-man defense, instead of the usual man-to-man...
The New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets hosted the Region 4, District 7 competitors, the Nelson County Chargers, on Monday, Jan. 10. The Rockets came up short, losing 44-50. The first quarter started out at a fast pace. The Nelson County girls' basketball team has always been speedy, so the Rockets had to step up their pace to keep up. Nora Johnson and Marit Ellingson of the Chargers each drained a three-pointer in the first quarter, to assist in an eight-point lead over the Rockets. This game was...
Thanks to three top-eight finishers, the Carrington Cardinal wrestlers finished in 17th place overall at the large school-dominated Bismarck Rotary Tournament, held Friday and Saturday, January 7-8, at the Event Center.

Sidney, Montana was third with 187, and Bismarck and Minot rounded out the top five. The Cards had 70...
Being down in numbers to fill lineup slots, everything had to go Carrington’s way in contested weights to salvage any form of victory in a triangular dual meet with HWC and Central Cass on Thursday, Jan. 6, in Harvey. Even with four forfeits to the Hornets and five to the Squirrels, the Cards lost both duals by a combined tally of just five points, taking a bitter 37-36 loss to the home team and tasting defeat in 40-36 fashion to the eastern North Dakota school. Taking wins in both duals were T...
In college, at the local grocery store, was one of those old-timey scales from the 1930s or 40s with a large dial at the top displaying weights from 0 to 300 pounds. Each time I'd step on it, I'd watch the needle zip up to the high 200s, then back down to 100, then up to 220, then back down to 180, before settling in the mid-190s where I was most of the time. It provided a fun sort of gasp-and-sigh moment before displaying my real weight and was certainly more of a process than the immediate...
It certainly amazes me how fast word travels these days when it comes to catching fish. Modern technology, without question, is a huge factor in this. Text messages, Snapchat, instant messaging, pin drops, etc., all factor into word of a bite and spots being discovered extremely fast. We have found this to be the case so far early on here up on Devils Lake. I'm sure some of you slough anglers also find this to be true. It certainly can be a good thing to help each other out especially in my...
The traditional image of a hunting dog on the prairies of the upper Midwest may suggest the statuesque shorthair holding point over a covey of grouse, or the staunch vigilance of a chocolate lab watching the skies from the cover of a duck blind. A growing number of hunters, however, are taking to the field after furbearers and more dangerous big game, such as mountain lions, on the heels of their trusted hounds of varying breeds that don't typically come to mind when field dogs are mentioned....
