It’s no secret there are many different ideas about religion and spirituality. I’ve studied different religions, and even within my own faith of Christianity I have discovered there are many conflicting opinions concerning what God wants us to be and how we are to live. At this time I will limit my views to the Christian faith because that is where I have spent more time in research and also declare my allegiance. I must add that I have not “arrived” at some type of wisdom plateau or to be cons...

Aug, 22, 2018 — Many a North Dakota farmer has helplessly watched a promising crop get hailed out. In August of 1912, a 10-mile wide hailstorm swept from the northeast to the southwest, hitting the town of St. Thomas. A Towner County news story read, “Practically all of the windows in St. Thomas were broken by the hailstones, while the wind worked havoc with some of the poorly constructed buildings. The roof of the livery barn was blown off and several other buildings were blown down. A number of granaries on farms in that territory were als...

That’s something that would normally concern me because it seems that when the plants are impressive, the harvest is not. That doesn’t appear to be the case this year. Even with the lack of moisture, our tomato plants are huge, but they’re loaded with tomatoes. The cucumbers are producing far more than we can eat and the squash plants are going crazy. Winter squash gets planted in our garden every other year....
Dear Savvy Senior, What retirement planning tips can you recommend to single women? I’m 54 and divorced with a teenage daughter and very little saved for retirement. Financially Behind Dear Behind, It’s an unfortunate reality, but most single women – whether they’re divorced, widowed or never married – face much greater financial challenges in retirement than men. Why? Because women earn less money – about 80 cents for every dollar that men make, on average, and they have shorter working careers...
There's a new sign at some North Dakota fishing destinations this summer, reminding anglers of the value of the resources they are about to pursue. The message the signs impart is simple: "Fish Responsibly. Only Keep What You Will Use. Fish Are Too Valuable To Waste." Game and Fish put sign into place at some of the state's higher-use boat ramps on the Missouri River System, Devils Lake and elsewhere. "The message is intended to get anglers to think about the value of our fisheries and natural...

Outdoor notes: *Beware of blue-green algae on area lakes and wetlands with weather and water conditions prime for the deadly toxin growth. Keep dogs out of any questionable water because it’s deadly and death can occur rapidly. *Remember to have adequate numbers of lifejackets and proper lighting on boats. *Anglers need to plan to keep any fish caught in water deeper than 25 feet because they typically can’t survive coming up from that deep. *Aug. 31: Archery deer and mountain lion seasons ope...
