Shopping Around Dear Shopping, There are actually several smartphones I can recommend that will provide your mother a simpler, less intimidating smartphone experience. Here are my top three options. Apple iPhones: Because of the quality and functionality of Apple products, an iPhone is a great c...
Post #30 ran their record to 10-1 and 4-1 in district, with a 4-3 win over the Jamestown Blues on June 28. Pitching and defense were strong in this game for the first five innings. Both starting pitchers, Nick Berglund for NR-S and Carson Orr for Jamestown, were dealing early. Jamestown was able to score first in the sixth inning. Adam Sortland started the inning with a walk and scored on a bunt by Jacob Webster and an error. Webster scored on a triple off the bat of Tyson Jorissen. The Sox...

The weather didn’t want to cooperate when NR-S traveled to Rugby on Friday, June 25 for a two-game set that included the resumption of the rained-out game from June 8. It rained throughout, and only the resumed game was completed. It was decided at the onset that the game would count for two decisions in the district standings. The game started at the top of the second inning with Rugby ahead 2-0 and NR-S as the home team, because it was the resumption of the game that started in New Rockford. Rugby promptly added onto their lead with three m...

I can’t help it. My mindset has already shifted toward hunting, despite only being one week removed from the summer solstice, the July 4 holiday not here yet, and there being nearly three full months of the summer season remaining. It happens every year about this time. I know it shouldn’t, but it does, and like the dinner bell for Pavlov’s dog, the signs that trigger thoughts of fall are everywhere. The first batch of pheasant chicks skitter with all the haste their tiny legs, below their...
Well, I’m pretty sure I completely jinxed myself with my last report talking about my boat puller “Old Blue.” Unfortunately, Old Blue is no longer with us today and I’m looking for a replacement. Thank goodness my dad letting me borrow his vehicle until I can figure something out. What I really want to get is a full-size AWD or 4WD van, which is not an easy find. I think for as much as I fish, both summer and winter, this would be a match made in heaven, so if anyone knows of one for sale, p...

Spring Pheasant Count Similar to Last Year North Dakota’s spring pheasant population index is about the same as last year, according to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s 2021 spring crowing count survey. R.J. Gross, upland game management biologist, said the number of roosters heard crowing this spring was up about three percent statewide. “The statewide number might be a bit misleading since we are notably down in the southwest, while most of the state benefitted from good reproduction in 2020, and a mild winter,” Gross said. T...
While drought conditions persist across much of North Dakota, with severe levels in the west-central portion of the state around Lake Sakakawea, much of the state has received some badly needed rain which is not only good for foliage and farming, but hopefully this year's crop of pheasant chicks as well. While some downpours - like a mid-June storm near Steele, N.D. that dropped more than 5 inches of rain in a localized area - may have hampered nesting efforts, gentler rains have helped hedge a...
Could there be a fish more American than a bluegill? From sea to shining sea, these panfish span the width of the country, from the lakes of California to the backwaters along the Gulf Coast to the impoundments of Maine and those within the upper Midwest's amber waves of grain. Their readiness to get down to business and hard charging demeanor whether chasing after what they want or while on the line, reflect the mindset of the anglers that pursue them. Certainly, this time of year, photos of a...
