The Rockets were determined to keep their winning streak aflame as they traveled to Cando to take on the North Star Bearcats in their home gym. The Bearcats held their annual "Pink Out" night, with a silent auction, pumpkin walk, warrior wall and a 50/50 raffle. All of the proceeds went to NR-S sophomore, Bailey Jacobson, and the TCMC Cancer fund. The bleachers were filled with fans clothed in pink clothing items. Back on Sept. 24, the Rockets defeated the Bearcats in two at the Devils Lake Tour...
On Saturday, Oct. 8, the Rockets traveled to Carrington to compete in the Carrington Varsity Tournament alongside 11 other teams. Unlike the Des Lacs-Burlington Laker Invite, the Rockets took win-for-win. The first round of pool play was against the Edgeley/Kulm/Montpelier Rebels. With a slow start to the morning, the Rebels defeated the Rockets 25-19 in the first set, which was a wakeup call for the Rockets. The Rockets came back in the second set to defeat the Rebels 25-14, taking the win by p...
As a North Dakotan, I appreciate the end of the gardening season. By fall, I am weary of weeding gardens, watering container plantings and mowing the lawn. Having just visited Georgia, I was reminded that southern gardeners don’t get the reprieve that we do. We have the luxury of taking an extended break from garden and lawn chores. By spring, our enthusiasm is renewed and we can’t wait to dig in the soil. With our autumn freezes, it is time to put the garden and lawn to bed for the long winter. Here are some tips to make gardening in spr...
Report violations with RAP The North Dakota Game and Fish Department encourages hunters, anglers and landowners who witness a fish or wildlife violation to file a report with the Report All Poachers program. Witnesses should report a violation by calling RAP at 701-328-9921. Witnesses should note the vehicle description, including make, color, license plate number and state issued. Description of the violator should also be considered. The RAP line offers rewards – from $100 to $1,000 depending on the nature and seriousness of the crime – for...

I played a part on the Game and Fish Department's chronic wasting disease task force and out of everything I learned, what stuck with me most, is how much I'd forgotten. Which is why review of rules, regulations and restrictions is so important for all of us. North Dakota's archery deer season opened in early September and with the growing interest in bowhunting for all big game, reviewing some of the specific transportation rules and regulations is necessary. Yet, no matter if you're hunting...
In the dry, crackling brown of a cattail slough is one of my favorite places to be in the fall. When the stand of dense vegetation is about chest high – tall enough to provide a good screen and cover for pheasants, but short enough to allow for a clear shot when they flush – that’s about as perfect as things can get. Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment but plowing through that kind cover to me is enjoyable, especially after a couple of months back on the workout train ahead of hunting season,...
AAA has long been an advocate for “Move Over” laws, requiring drivers to slow down and move over for emergency responders on the roadside, yet there continues to be an alarming number of fatalities. Nearly 350 people are struck and killed outside a disabled vehicle each year in the United States, and roughly a quarter of motorists don’t know that Slow Down, Move Over laws exist in their state. In North Dakota, that number is even higher, with more than one-third of residents (36 percent) unaware of the state’s law. AAA North Dakota hopes t...
I've written about the lack of forage the smaller fish may have in Lake Oahe in a few reports as of late. While this is the case downstream on the main body of the flow, I'm not so sure this is the case up here in the river portion of Lake Oahe. The last few days, I've been scouting the river. I've seen what feels like millions of small baitfish in the river. While I'm not sure what it is, I am sure it's a great food source for our smaller walleyes in Lake Oahe. It's my personal feeling the...
Until I became an active hunter, leg day was the worst day in a workout routine. Usually falling on a Friday morning early in the weight room, it was the easiest one to skip and opt for sleeping in and starting the weekend a bit early. However, as I've gotten older and found greater joy in those long walks into way back places to find birds and deer, I've looked forward to what was once the most dreaded workout of the week. By focusing on glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves, I've found the...

• The co-op business model is at least 519 years old. The Shore Porters Society in Aberdeen, Scotland claims to have established the world’s first co-operative in 1498. • There are over one billion co-op members in the world. • Cooperatives exist in every sector of the economy. Daycares, breweries, community gardens and renewable energy producers are among the endless examples of cooperatives. • As community-driven, member-controlled organizations, cooperative business start ups are twice as likely to succeed and still be in business after fiv...
On Saturday, Oct. 15, the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets took on the North Border Eagles in a first round playoff matchup. As the lower seed, NR-S had to endure the long drive to Pembina for the game, which is less than five miles from the Canadian border. And unfortunately for the Rockets, the ride home may have felt even longer, after having just been defeated and seeing their season come to a close. Laden with injuries, the Rockets were incapable of moving the ball offensively for much of the...
