Dear Savvy Senior, What types of financial or legal snags should I be aware of when considering remarriage? I’m 62-years-old and have been seeing a nice man for about a year. We’ve been talking about getting married, but I want to make sure I understand all the possible consequences beforehand. Divorced Widow Dear Divorced, Getting remarried later in life can actually bring about a host of financial and legal issues that are much more complicated than they are for younger couples just starting o...
As drought conditions continue to spread across the country and across the state, the lack of water expresses itself through plants. Trees respond to short-term drought by wilting, leaf scorch and leaf drop. Long-term damage from drought happens over a period of years and includes stunted growth, branch dieback, and possible death of the plant. Many woody plants can take up to three years after a drought to display negative long-term effects. Pest problems are another result of long-term drought. Healthy trees are able to ward off pests like wo...
On Tuesday, July 20, Carrington held its annual youth track meet. Roughly 180 youth athletes in grades Pre-K through sixth competed in the event to set a new record! The track meet held four events; long jump, 50-meter dash, 100-meter dash and the softball throw. Below are snapshots of New Rockford-Sheyenne athletes competing in events....
New Rockford-Sheyenne Post #30 finished the regular season by dropping two in Rolla on July 16. The Sox lost the first game 1-0, and the second 3-0. The weeklong layoff was not good for the Sox bats, as Koby Duda was the only batter to get a hit. Rolla sent three pitchers to the mound, Andre Elick, Xavier Mitchell and Jacob Ripplinger, and they combined for a two-hit shutout. The pitchers for NR-S, Koby Duda and Alex Harrison, also kept Rolla-Rolette to only two hits in the game. Both of Rolla-Rolette’s hits were in the third inning when t...
The haze of a hundred wildfires dimmed the light of the mid-July sun overhead, on the afternoon fishing trip, as I drifted along the breaks of a favorite rocky lake. The orb’s all-day orange glow made me uncomfortable as the effects of yet another heatwave crashing on the west drifted slowly across the plains, like the foam at the edge of a breaker trying to extend its reach up the beach. I looked to overcome the uneasiness in the places I usually encountered the smallmouth bass on the clear w...

Every other year in North Dakota, elected officials gather at the state capital to propose, review, debate, and ultimately vote on legislation that will set the course for the state and its citizens. Some of these bills are also related to how the North Dakota Game and Fish Department delivers services to its customers, which is partly why we closely track bills and provide input or testimony as needed or appropriate. Because state law often dictates how we conduct business at the Game and Fish...

These past two weeks have been packed for me, I had two open days from work and guiding, spending them on the water at lake with family. It felt kind of weird with no fishing rod in hand. I've had everything from muskies, catfish, walleye and bass trips in the last 12 days with the majority of them good and a couple of grind-it-out days but overall, fishing has been great in north central North Dakota. The main one that everyone wants to know about is Sakakawea, and now is the time to be out...
Warming midsummer water temperatures have the majority of muskies transitioning from open water basins to weed covered structure in Minnesota's west central lakes country. All our local lakes have water temperatures in the upper 70s or low 80s pushing the open water baitfish deeper and out of the muskies' reach. This puts new, uneducated fish that haven't seen many baits since last fall up on structure. This is great news to anyone who wants to cast. Big Detroit Lake has a good casting bite on...
A big part of my job is encouraging folks to participate in outdoor recreation, particularly hunting. Whether that's hunting for the first time, continuing the enjoyment of time spent afield, or diving back into a hobby left forgotten, my job is rewarding in so many ways. Something I enjoy the heck out of is watching someone hunt for the first time. When watching a beginner it's clear to see the muscle memory flaunted by a hunting veteran has not yet been earned. However, the excitement to be...
