Madison Crisman, who's been the zone's interim director since February of this year, has now officially been hired for the role of director.

Foster County commissioners are officially requesting nearly $100,000 from Wells County, which they argue amounts to four years' worth of social service payments that haven't been distributed since 2020. A letter being drafted by Foster County State's Attorney Kara Brinster at the request of commissioners, will soon be sent to the Wells County Commission requesting exactly $92,757.88. A motion to send the letter was carried unanimously at Foster County's commission meeting on July 17, when...

On Saturday, August 17, Hendrickson Park will once again host the annual Sheyenne Stampede. Over the past four years, the Stampede has come into its own as Sheyene's main event of the summer. It begins with classic rodeo action, followed by an always exciting concert from high-profile performers who aren't often found in rural North Dakota. This year's Stampede is no different, and headlining is the famous Eli Young Band, an award winning country music group with several chart-topping singles....

The tomato plants at the community garden are struggling to come back after the hail storm on July 16. Michelle Gilley and Patti Larson picked off about five gallons of damaged fruit so the plants could focus energy on new blossoms. The setback will be significant before new ripe tomatoes are seen. A couple of large tree limbs at both Hendrickson Park and Warsing Dam also fell victims to the strong winds of that hailstorm. Eunice Throlson volunteered at the sign-in table of Vitalant Blood Drive in New Rockford last Monday. Patti Larson was one...

This summer I got to work as an intern at the Transcript, and my favorite part of the job was being behind the camera. At the end of the school year our Black Sox boys made it to state baseball, which hadn't been done in 24 years. I covered the region championship and several of the state games. I remember being in the dugout on the last play of the region championship game. I was getting ready to take all of the celebration shots when one of our players turned to look at me and told me to move because they were all gonna jump over the fence...
Bowling didn't make the cut again. Neither will baseball and softball, ballroom dancing, pole dancing and a host of other sports be featured in the 2024 Summer Olympics games in Paris. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is picky about the sports it chooses. A sport must be widely practiced globally, draw a high level of interest among the media and public and also not pose too many cost and scheduling obstacles, such as the need to build large baseball stadiums. But in a perfect world,...
The possibilities of the Office of the Presidency, the Framers of the Constitution knew, would depend in large measure on the character of its occupant. The Presidency was constrained by the terms of the Constitution and the doctrine of checks and balances, designed to temper the vaulting ambition of future chief executives who might imitate those in European countries that aggrandized power for their own interests. But the presidency was also empowered to perform the responsibilities of the Office, which possessed the bandwidth to inspire the...

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Wow, here we are, in the month of August already. The kids' summer ball seasons are over. The stores have had back-to-school advertisements for some time now. The college and high school football camps are open for fall practice leading up to the opening of their seasons. But, closer to home, it is the harvest season. Before we know it, the combines will be in the fields and the new crops of barley and wheat will make their way to market or in bins on the farm. Let's not forget the various farmers markets...
Stop for a moment and closely observe this trial you’ve been going through. When you are wounded and perplexed, it seems all you can think about is the pain, but within this raging battle ask yourself (and be honest) if you’re focusing more on the circumstance than on God who has all the answers. Ask and allow Him to heal your heart. This situation will not last forever and after a period of suffering the time will come to crawl back to your knees, stand up, dust yourself off, and try to gle...

Dear Savvy Senior, I recently received an email that I needed to update my online Social Security account. Is this legit or is it a scam? Suspicious Susan Dear Susan, The Social Security Administration did indeed send out a legitimate email last month to notify recipients that they are making changes to the way you access Social Security’s online services, including your personal “my Social Security” account. The changes will simplify your sign-in experience and align with federal authe...
Adding aroma, texture and some fun, herbs are a fantastic addition to any garden. When choosing my garden herbs, I often go through the old song, "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme" and then add my kitchen staples of basil, cilantro and mint. This year I decided to get a little experimental and bought some cinnamon basil seeds. I will admit, they were on sale and I was curious, but it has been an exciting addition to the garden. Watching the basil grow and waiting to smell the aroma was a good...
Cross Country at New Rockford-Sheyenne is back. After a brief hiatus, the NR-S cross country program returned last year and built itself a strong foundation of young athletes, and together they learned the ropes of long-distance running. They got faster and faster as the season went on, and now the program is set to return this fall with hopes of building on the progress made a year ago. This season will be head coach Joe Greiner’s second with the team, and he said he’s looking forward to ano...

We are approaching that time of the year again. Soon our children will be heading back to school. Are we ready? Are they ready? Here are a few suggestions that can assist you and your child in having a great back-to-school experience. It is recommended that children have a well-child exam yearly.
