January 29 - The last lynching The last illegal execution in North Dakota happened in Schaefer. On this date in 1931 when a mob seized a prisoner named Charles Bannon and lynched him a half mile from the jail. About a year earlier, in February, people had begun to notice that they hadn’t seen the Albert Haven family around. Twenty-two year-old Bannon had just started working on the Haven farm, and when people asked him about the family, he said the Havens had gone to Oregon and that he was now renting the place. Friends thought it was s...

I wasn’t going to do it. As fun as that Vikings win was on Sunday, it just didn’t have that “good in things” feel. Until I heard this. In what’s been tabbed the Minnesota Miracle, the Vikings won in a combination of some pretty awesome athletic talent by Stefon Diggs, and a big stroke of luck. However, a sports talk show I was listening to said the true test would be their next game. He said that’s the game when the Vikings historically ‘choke.’ If they win that one, though, they will b...

The clock radio went off way too early this morning. We have weird schedules at our house. I’ll rephrase that; I keep a weird schedule. Sometimes I am a night owl and stay up really late and sometimes I’m an early morning riser, getting up to write at 4:30 a.m. After climbing into bed at 2:45 this morning, that 5 a.m. alarm was brutal. Not my alarm, by the way. I got interested in what they were saying when I heard the mention of fog in our area. See, a friend who lives in the souther...

I shared a cartoon on Facebook last night…it shared my frame of mind just perfectly. Two little mice (I think they’re mice) are sitting on the numbers 2 and 0 looking forward to where the numbers 1 and 18 would appear. One mouse is kneeling with gardening tools around him on the ground. Another mouse standing behind him asks, “Why so optimistic about 2018? What do you think it will bring? Everything seems so messed up.” To which the other mouse replied, “I think it will bring flowers....

A week had passed since Bascomb Finch made his ill-fated appearance on Raymond Cooper's radio show, but the story of his "drunken display" was still the talk of the town, thanks to Raymond Cooper and Iris Long. The "Special Edition" of Raymond's Valley Patriot had filled racks around the downtown area at 9 a.m. Tuesday morning. Iris thought it was interesting to call the issue "special" since the Patriot advertised itself as a weekly newspaper. Just like a lot of Cooper's shenanigans, it was u...
Dear Savvy Senior, If the prescription label says "take with meals," does it matter what you eat? I currently take eight different medications for various health problems and would like to know if there are any foods I need to avoid. Over Medicated Dear Over, It depends on the medication. Many meds should be taken with food to increase their absorption and reduce the risk of side effects. But some foods and medications can interact, reducing the effectiveness or increasing the risk of har...
