Dear Savvy Senior, Does Social Security offer any special help to beneficiaries who struggle managing their benefits? My aunt, who has no children, has dementia and struggles keeping up with her bills and other financial duties. Inquiring Niece Dear Inquiring, Yes, Social Security actually has a little-known program known as the “representative payee program” which helps beneficiaries who need help managing their Social Security benefit payments. Here’s what you should know. Repre...
The New Rockford-Sheyenne volleyball team traveled to Thompson to take on the Tommies in their home territory. Knowing the Tommies are ranked third in the state, the Rockets knew this would be a tough season opener. The Tommies came out of the flood gates ready for a win. With a tough fight, the Rockets were defeated in three straight sets by Thompson (14-25, 16-25, 19-25). Comparing the scores from the 2020 match up between New Rockford and Thompson, New Rockford has improved with their lowest...
On August 27, The New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets (0-2, 0-0) were looking to get their season on track after a dismal outing at Rolette, but their plans were spoiled by the Bottineau Braves (2-0, 0-0), as they breezed to a comfortable 50-14 win. The problems for NR-S began early and often on Friday night. The Braves first drive was a long, methodical march capped off by a touchdown catch from junior Gabe Nero, and the ensuing Rockets possession set the tone for the night. After failing to get a...

The things you own end up owning you. It's a statement I say every so often in life, as mechanical things break down, technology freezes up, and the piles of day-to-day stuff mount in the corner of the basement storage area. I uttered it at least once this weekend as a summer's worth of clutter, which accumulated between the end of school, road trips, holidays and other adventures, was purged from our house and garage, or boxed and stashed to be dealt with more permanently somewhere down the...
My open water guiding days are definitely slowing down a tad right now, by choice and also by design. I have decided to volunteer my time back in the hockey circle this fall, so most of my weekends are hockey and the weekdays are fishing. I've been off Sakakawea now for a full week, but I have, however, been on Devils Lake this past week and will be back on it in the coming week. I will also begin fishing the river near Bismarck starting the next couple of weeks. I do have a few more Sakakawea...
Imagine the largest deer you could ever shoot was one that only made it to two-and-a-half years of age. At best, that's a buck with a small four-by-four rack, or a doe that likely was only able to produce one or two years of fawns to help sustain the local herd.

With its de...
