Outdoor notes: *Anglers should consider moving houses off before the March 15 deadline, with water coming up around houses and slush freezing, making it difficult to move them. *Ice is never completely safe. Avoid areas with vegetation, moving water, pressure ridges and springs. Check conditions as you go along on the ice. *Remember to keep any fish caught in 20 feet of water and deeper because they don’t survive coming up from those depths. *It’s illegal to chase, harass or pursue all wildlife...
What is the value of fishing and hunting to North Dakota?

Above the din of the crowd, and just as the NR-S Rockets took the floor, the public address system at the Devils Lake Sports Center played a familiar song.

Hindsight is 20/20. At least it was for the New Rockford-Sheyenne School Board as they considered the 2019-20 School Calendar. As students were returning from a four-day weekend on March 8-11, the school board was faced with making the decision about whether or not to cancel school on March 14 and 15 so staff and students could attend the state boys basketball tournament. The impending weather also influenced the deciscion to dismiss early on Thursday at 1:20 p.m. and hold no school on Friday....
For weeks, NR-S archers have been waking up before dawn- and not just for those buses leaving early on Saturday mornings. We're talking weekdays, before school, as early as 7 a.m. to get in their practice time. For many, the time is paying off and their techniques are improving. This is the third year that archery has been an extra-curricular activity at NR-S. In that time, we have seen the team grow from a group of beginners to a team with advanced skills and abilities. In the most recent...
James Buchli's path from Fargo to space was anything but meteoric. The first native North Dakotan to fly in space brought a wide-ranging resume to his application to be part of NASA's first space shuttle class in 1978. It included a stint aboard a submarine while in the Naval Academy, a 13-month deployment in the Vietnam War as a platoon commander in the Marine Corps, and thousands of hours flying fighter planes.
