  • Dakota Datebook: Singing Settler Returns

    Jayme L. Job|Jan 27, 2020

    The return of a Norwegian visitor to this state was reported on this day in 1907. E. Onsum, of Christiania, Norway, had visited North Dakota two years earlier as a member of a student singing group. The group, sponsored by Norway’s University of Christiania, had delighted Devils Lake residents with traditional Norwegian song and dance. Onsum found the city much to his liking but returned to Christiania in order to finish medical school. A year later, he returned to the United States and began practicing medicine in Iowa. After gaining a year o...

  • Eyes that see the good in things: Jan. 27, 2020

    Jan 27, 2020

    I watch entirely too much TV, so it makes me wonder how I could completely miss a show that airs on a channel that I watch often. I was excited about the message behind the first show that I watched the other night, a show I thought was new. But apparently, it’s been around since 2017 and I’m just a little late to the party. I clicked on “Home Town” just to see what it was about. The show is hosted by a couple of Southerners, Ben and Erin Napier, who love fixing up old houses, almost as much as they like living in their small, hometown in Laur...

    Gary Lindquist|Jan 27, 2020

    by Gary Lindquist The biggest difference in this game was the fourth quarter, as Four Winds-Minnewaukan came away with a 51-44 win over New Rockford-Sheyenne in District 7 Boys Basketball action, played here before a very good crowd, on Monday, Jan. 20. It was a hard-fought game between two very good teams. The Indians, ranked No.1 in the state, are well-coached and will be a major contender for the region title. This game was quite close all the way. The Rockets led 13-8 after one stanza, and...

    Hornets sting Rockets New Rockford-Sheyenne played a good overall first quarter but after that, Harvey-Wells County took control and defeated the locals, by a final score of 59-19 in District 7 Girls Basketball action played at Harvey, on Thursday, Jan. 16.

  • Our Outdoors: Light Torches, Throw Pebbles

    Nick Simonson|Jan 27, 2020

    I’ve often wondered if people would be more concerned if the increasing reports of Chronic Wasting Disease in North Dakota made the jump from a limited population of mule and whitetail deer into more uncommon species like the resident moose and elk in the state, as has occurred in Montana. It seems likely that more anglers would take notice if sedimentation, or worse, toxic chemicals from a trickle upstream ended up affecting the fishing on their favorite flow or at its end in the Gulf of M...
