On June 24, 1903, Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Leslie and son Myron of Carrington and Mrs. Emma F. Shields and son James of Glen Falls, N.Y., drove up from Carrington to visit Mr. and Mrs. James Hyde. Mrs. Shields and James had been on the Pacific Coast and were returning home. Miss Norah O’Connell arrived from the Twin Cities to visit her parents west of town. Jacob Roffler returned from “a short trip down the line.” Mrs. A.H. Wilson returned from Stewart, Minn. J.W. Perry went to Esmond on busin...
Here the community of Sheyenne in its early days. It seems there more horses than vehicles on the dirt roads. And look at the number of buildings! While the collections at the Eddy County Museum tend to be a little heavy on the New Rockford side, rest assured there is plenty of representation for Sheyenne. In fact, many of the artifacts housed at the museum could have been right at home in the era depicted in the photograph. From the butter marker that was used in the Sheyenne Hotel to the lace...
The return to high school sports, at least as it happened at Jim Johnson Field in New Rockford Friday, August 21, couldn't have been better for the team playing within its boundaries. In their first NDHSAA-sanctioned sporting event since the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March cancelled all school activities for the remainder of 2019-20, the NR-S Rockets rolled to a 62-0 shutout over the Benson County Wildcats. Even with the graduation of reigning 9-man Senior Athlete of the Year Bo Belquist,...
Carrington Pitcrew wrestling started their youth season in December 2019 with 23 kids participating in a tournament on their home mats. Briggs Garber and Jacob Hinrichs came away with first places finishes. In late December, the young wrestlers were scheduled to wrestle in Fargo at the Rumble on the Red after the varsity finished up. But due to a winter storm that shut down interstates most of the young grapplers were not able to attend. Gabe Clifton, Landin Clifton and Jacob Hinrichs did...
The New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets ran in their first official cross country race of the season, the Hillsboro Invitational, on Saturday, August 22. With three runners, NR-S had one top 10 finisher, that being Chloe Heinz in the varsity girls' race. Heinz took seventh with a time of 21 minutes, 14 seconds. In additional varsity results, Katie Allmaras took home 34th place in 24:53. Both varsity competitions were 5,000-meter races. The Rockets' one boy runner on the roster this season, Vinnie...
Two area students were among the 220 North Dakota State University students to be placed on the summer 2020 dean’s list. This included music major Tessa Hartl, of New Rockford and ag econ student John D. Tweed, of Binford. A student must earn a 3.5 grade point average or higher and be enrolled in at least nine class credits to qualify for the summer list....
I’ve never been fond of heights. Despite being marketed (and statistically confirmed) as the safest way to travel, airplanes have always made me uneasy. Even the top of the Ferris wheel in the Fargo Scheels makes my stomach drop a little bit when my son and I reach the apex on the slow-moving trip to the second story. With lightning striking and rendering a trusted deer stand inoperable, what with its melted bolts and connection points, charred footpad from the point of impact and twisted l...
Dove hunting season is truly the initial sign of fall. Federally set to start on the first of September this year, as it has most every year in the past, the chance to take mourning doves begins in an autumn month and kicks off as the calendar page turns. Well ahead of most other upland game species, with grouse opening about two weeks down the road and pheasant hunting still six weeks away, doves provide uplanders with opportunities to get out in the field and shake the rust off in pursuit of...
South Dakota and North Dakota have some of the nation’s earliest-opening archery deer seasons. With the Rushmore State’s bow opener on Sept. 1 and the Peace Garden State’s season kicking off at noon on Sept. 4, hunters across the northern great plains have the very unique opportunity of harvesting a whitetail or mule deer buck in velvet, while most other states open their archery opportunities a week or so after most of the material has been shed by autumn deer. While a number of factors have...
Outdoor notes: *Sept. 1: Dove season opens. *Sept. 2: Fall turkey applications due. *Sept. 4: Mountain lion and archery deer seasons open. *Sept. 7: Missouri River early Canada goose season closes. *N.D. Dept. of Environmental Quality blue-green algae warning for Stump, South Golden, and Antelope lakes and advisories for Buffalo and Coal Mine Lake. *Do not release any fish caught from water 25 feet and deeper because their swim bladder likely won’t allow them to survive when coming up from d...
I grew up listening to Casey Kasem’s Weekly Top 40 music countdown. It was a different era where musical success wasn’t measured by downloads and clicks. Even to this day I can’t say I really understood how his Top 40 was compiled, but I was hip to the long-distance dedications. Listeners (maybe thousands?) would write the show and Kasem would read one on-air and the dedication was granted. How he picked the song and when to play it was seemingly sort of science-based on geography and popularity...
Eddy New Rockford Librarian Susie Sharp has compiled and shared a list of fresh new reads, which are ready and waiting on the library shelves. “The Wife Who Knew Too Much” by Michelle Campbell: Two women loved him. And knew him as only wives can know. Set amongst the glittering mansions of the Hamptons, The Wife Who Knew Too Much is a decadent thriller about the lives of those who will do anything for love and money. Who is the victim? Who is the villain? And who will be next to die? “We Are All the Same in the Dark” by Julia Heaberl...
