Minot Daily News Saturday, Nov. 3, 1962 It is a cause for considerable complimentary conversation when a city of nearly 2,200 citizens possesses a Class B high school football team that has compiled a lengthy winning streak over a three-year period. Such a feat is, of course, outstanding and worthy of acclaim. But unprecedented? By no means. Highly-unusual? Nope. However, if this same city has produced a pair of Class B gridiron units that have achieved incredible success, well, the s...
Wedged into the narrow corner under the removable jumpseat in the big boat which had just come out of storage this weekend, I struggled to aim my headlamp and balance the beam from my phone light at the connectors on top of the battery terminals, the snap of electric sulfur and scent of gear grease heavy in the transom compartment. Unable to figure out why the hydraulic pump for the trim on the motor would not work when just the day before it had, it took me several attempts, before out of the...

Thursday, April 16 With business restrictions extended to May 1, Governor Burgum put laser focus on testing this week.

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is offering an online hunter education course for students who will turn at least age 12 on or before Dec. 31, 2020. Education supervisor Marty Egeland said with most in-person hunter education classes canceled this spring due to the coronavirus pandemic, so Game and Fish needed to find a way to get students certified for hunter education this year. “And with most classes held before the deer application deadline, we had to adjust the way we administer our classes,” Egeland said. The online course is...
Springtime is primetime for smallies, and the best way to turn things up for brown bass is knowing where they will be this time of year. As waters warm, smallmouth bass make a surge into the shallows and the prime substrate they relate to is an area with gravel and varied sizes of rock. From a natural boulder field to a man-made stretch of rip-rap, these areas become havens for spring smallies set to spawn in skinny water. What draws them there is a combination of the things that rocks provide...
Spring is the time of the year that many die-hard anglers have in the back of their mind as the opportunity to catch the biggest fish of the season and possibly their lives. Regardless of whether they're on the tail end of the pike bite through the ice or the first run of slimers up a shallow creek, patrolling the vernal breaklines for huge walleyes along a feeder stream, or scanning the shallow bars for prime smallie spawning sites and the big shadowy females moving in, anglers of all stripes k...
Michelle Kommer, N.D. Department of Commerce Commissioner, outlined guidelines Tuesday for the safe reopening of the "high contact" businesses previously closed due to executive order. Governor Burgum said Monday he would allow the executive order to expire April 30, which would allow these businesses to open provided they can do so while practicing protocols outlined by the state. Burgum reiterated that tribes, cities, counties and other subdivisions had authority to impose further... Full story
Since this historic journey began with the first case of COVID-19 being confirmed in North Dakota on March 11, we have learned much about this insidious disease. We have learned that it spreads quickly and without regard for borders. We have learned that it takes loved ones too soon and disrupts livelihoods too often, leaving behind a wake of emotional and economic hardship. We have also learned much about ourselves. In the six weeks since I challenged all of us to let go of being "North Dakota... Full story
