At their regular meeting on Wednesday, July 5, Eddy County commissioners heard from Road Superintendent Todd Weber and Emergency Manager Lisa Thompson about a problem with 9-1-1 signage in the county. Thompson said the issue was discovered when Weber noticed a 9-1-1 sign on 20th Street NE – the road leading to the Golf Course and St. Johns Cemetery – which inaccurately read 30th Avenue. “We started doing some digging trying to figure out how that sign was so far off, and how many others we ha...
Despite receiving a letter last month that requests her resignation, New Rockford-Sheyenne Superintendent Jill Louters doesn't appear to be going anywhere. The letter Dr. Louters received was generated by concerned parents and taxpayers and was circulated throughout the district, where it gathered 113 signatures from those who agree with its message. "We no longer feel that you are a good fit for our school," states the letter, which has been obtained by the Transcript. "It is time for new...

Black Sox Babe Ruth Baseball has been on a roll of late. After winning two in a row against May-Port and Thompson, the Sox hosted Kidder County at home on Wednesday, June 28. On the mound for New Rockford was Thomas Allmaras, and after Skye Kramlich delivered a 1-hitter in their last game, it was now Allmaras' turn to keep their opponents in check. Allmaras pitched all seven innings for his team, and would only give up 5 hits and allow just two earned runs. Of course, that made things easier...

Every year, during the last few days of June, I sit at my computer and wait impatiently for the most important Supreme Court decisions to be announced. Last year, the picnic brought the Dobbs decision, which ended legalized abortion, so it seemed like anything else would be a let-down. Boy was I wrong. Last week, the Supreme Court announced that giving someone an advantage because of their race was illegal, unconstitutional and dead wrong. If you thought that this was already the law of the...
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the U.S. Supreme Court’s repudiation of the “independent state legislature” theory in Harper v. Moore. The widely-admired conservative judge, J. Michael Luttig, called it “the most important case, since the founding, for American democracy.” Indeed, nothing less than the preservation of judicial review, checks and balances and the vital role of courts in defending the constitutional order were at stake in this case. In fine, the North Carolina legislature boldly asserted that its authority...
Most of us have experienced long hold times or dropped calls when trying to get through to a customer service agent. You may have even received incorrect information the first time you called and had to start the process all over again. Unfortunately, this is what many people who are trying to reach the Social Security Administration (SSA) experience. Thousands of older North Dakotans, people with disabilities and their families rely on Social Security. And they should also be able to rely on quality customer service to get their questions...

I recently returned from a long and emotional trip. I enjoyed myself, that is for sure, but as many of you will agree, weddings are exhausting. Family is fun, but can be exhausting. Sleeping in different places is fun, but again, exhausting. I’ve never been what people might call a “homebody,” but certainly there’s a point on every vacation when I can hear the bed at home calling me. This is nothing compared to the soldier I ran into the other day who spent a month training thousands of miles away. Or the soldiers deployed overseas for months a...
Every summer we look forward to the Fourth of July because it’s filled with fun things to do, like barbecuing, picnics, games, family gatherings, boating, camping and fireworks. Also, for many, it’s usually a paid vacation day which is always nice. However, along with the excitement and activities, let us also remember and be grateful for those who have served our country so that we can enjoy our freedom. Independence Day is all about the courage of many Americans who fought against Great Bri...

Over time, this progressive disease can rob people of their central vision, making every...
