  • History of New Rockford: March 8, 2021

    K.C. Gardner Jr|Mar 8, 2021

    From Nov. 28 to Dec. 1, 1903, telephone manager William Brueske’s father, mother, and sister were up from Wimbledon to visit him and his family; his sister then remained a week or two longer. On Nov 30, Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Richter and Miss Floy were down from Sheyenne. J.N. Kunkel came over from Fessenden on business and to visit. F.B. Ewald [Ewals?] of Barlow, Toller M.

  • We the People: May government curtail free speech?

    David Adler|Mar 8, 2021

    Does the government have authority to curtail speech that might cause injury to our national security? Such power, asserted throughout the history of our nation, raises thorny questions about the nature, meaning and scope of two key constitutional provisions when they collide. On one hand, Congress has authority under Article 1, Section 8, to “provide for the common defense.” Everyone understands that a nation must possess the power and means to protect itself; otherwise, its territorial integrity, sovereignty and very existence may be put to...

    Jim Miller|Mar 8, 2021

    Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve been told that my two children, ages 14 and 16, may be eligible for Social Security when I file for my retirement benefits. Is this true? What can you tell me? Viagra Daddy Dear Viagra, It’s true. If you’re age 62 or older and are still raising young children, there’s a Social Security benefit strategy that can put some extra money in your family coffers.

  • Archival Anecdotes: Hear the 1920s roar

    Rachel Brazil|Mar 8, 2021

    The 1920s are known as being a revolutionary time of growth and modernization, but to be honest I never really understand why. (This is when I note that I am trained as an anthropologist, not a historian.) I was somewhat surprised to find the answer was both simple and complex: war. World War I was an unprecedented event, no one had every seen anything like it. In an effort to articulate the vast impact this global war had on their lives, folks called it The Great War. Worldwide, traditioaanal...

  • Our Outdoors: It's all in the Name

    Nick Simonson|Mar 8, 2021

    When it comes to marketing, a good lure needs a good name. No angler is going to buy lures called The Skunk, Zippo, or The Blanker. Lures must have two essentials to catch the attention of anglers. First they must catch fish, and second they must have a moniker to remember, that catches the eye of the angler as well. As winter begins to turn the corner toward spring, the Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's catalogs bulk up many anglers' mailboxes, delivering what's new and hot as well as some old...

  • Dry North, Cold South May Impact Spring Waterfowl

    Nick Simonson|Mar 8, 2021

    Early spring-like conditions have many fans of the outdoors thinking about returning flocks of snow geese, Canada geese, mallards and other waterfowl flying into the area as a sure sign that the season has come ahead of schedule. As the limited snow recedes and things begin to warm up, some concerns about what those birds will find upon their return to the region are beginning to mount. According to Dane Buysse, Ducks Unlimited Conservation Programs Biologist, the current low water levels may...

  • Ranum WPA to Provide Habitat for Wildlife, Options for Outdoorsmen

    Nick Simonson|Mar 8, 2021

    In the formative years of my upland experience, CRP was at its peak, grouse, partridge and pheasants were plentiful and there was an area of PLOTS, WPAs and WMAs just up the hill from my backdoor that provided a young hunter and his dog everything they could want in a walk. A mixture of food in the surrounding soybeans and corn tied seamlessly into a spread of uplands, cattail sloughs, wetlands and stands of brush and treelines. It was a place that provided sweaty dove hunts in September, where...
