October 8, 2019 — In October 1913, the following ad was in the local papers: Wanted! Perfectly healthy men and women who will voluntarily submit to an experiment which may lead to temporary or permanent impairment of health, or possible death. This experiment to be conducted with the coffee drug, “caffeine.” Following that, in bold letters, it read: Would You Apply for the Job? The ad took up almost a half page in the Fargo Forum; it was advertising the health benefits of drinking the popular beverage, Postum, as opposed to coffee. Of Postu...
The first jump into Super Region 4 volleyball for NR-S was a successful one, even though it wasn't a clean sheet in the end for the Rockets. Coach Sara Myhre's club took the first two sets from the Harvey-Wells Co. Hornets, 25-20 and 25-19, but took a stunning 30-28 loss in set three with the visitors' backs against the wall. The sudden momentum swing didn't matter in the end. NR-S came out like gangbusters in the fourth set, taking 11 of the first 12 points and rolling past the Hornets for a...
Lost in another avalanche of points for the NR-S Rockets in their most recent win, was somewhat of a concerning performance in rushing defense. Though the top-ranked team in Nine-Man football for another week kept it that way with a 64-26 triumph over the Nelson County Chargers Friday, Sept. 27 in Lakota, final stat lines were very much deceiving. NR-S, in spite of getting big play after big play in the opening three quarters, were actually outgained in total offense by the Chargers, 348-335,...
All four levels of volleyball for NR-S and Benson County managed a rare feat in Maddock last Tuesday, Oct. 1, as each team’s match lasted until their final deciding set and race to 15 points. The Rockets took the junior high, C-squad and junior varsity games by 2-1 final set scores, and the Wildcats had their eye on the big prize in the varsity showdown. Both Region 4 rivals alternated set wins in the first four sets, but Benson County sent NR-S to their third five-set loss this season, 2...
NR-S won one of their four matches at the Devils Lake Tournament Saturday, Sept. 28. The Rockets had a record of 1-2 in pool play.

A rematch with Bottineau came about in bracket play, but NR-S came up short in a 2-1 loss, 1...

Motorists are reminded to watch for deer along roadways this time of year because juvenile animals are dispersing from their home ranges.

Most deer-vehicle accidents occur primarily at dawn and dusk when deer are most active. Deer-vehicle accidents are at times unavoidable. If an accident does happen, law enforcement authorities do not have to be...

CHI’s North Dakota Violence Prevention Program is honoring October 2019 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Our dedicated staff will use DVAM as an opportunity to inform domestic violence victims and the community about available help and resources.

On a typical day in the U.S., three women are killed by a current or former intimate partner and more than 20,000...
Congress passed the Fair Housing Act with broad bipartisan support one week after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It remains one of the most critical pieces of civil rights legislation for advancing racial and other forms of equality. Since then, the FHA’s protection against discriminatory impacts on particular communities has enjoyed bipartisan support for over 45 years. Today, an administrative change to the Fair Housing Act threatens to unravel these key protections. Most administrative changes go unnoticed, but a recent p...
October is breast cancer awareness month. About one in eight North Dakota women will get breast cancer during their lifetime. For those who are diagnosed, early detection greatly increases the chances of survival. “It’s great to know that when women discover breast cancer in its early stages, their five-year survival rate may increase to 98%,” said Susan Mormann, Women’s Way Director for the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH). “Without that early detection, the five-year survival rate may drop to 27% in later stages or if the cancer ce...

This funding, through the 911 Grant Program will help fund the next phase of enhancements to upgrade equipment and operations so that citizens, first responders and 911 call-takers can use dig...
As Medicare beneficiaries pore over their choices for coverage for everything from medical services to prescription drugs, the open enrollment period is prime time for fraudsters to try to scam older consumers. Medicare’s open enrollment begins Oct. 15 and runs through Dec. 7. Here are some common scams during open enrollment: • Someone calls claiming to be from Medicare and says your Medicare number and credit card information are needed to sign you up for health coverage. Hang up the phone. Medicare does not call beneficiaries to sign the...
