It's a Christmas miracle! Randy Reisenauer of New Rockford, who was airlifted to Fargo's Sanford Medical Center a few days before Halloween due to COVID-19, celebrated Christmas at home with his family. Even in the midst of his toughest days, Randy's family held tight to the notion that he would recover. And he was determined to be home for Christmas. The week of Thanksgiving, he had a major setback while hospitalized, and his family thought they might lose him. Yet, he is convinced it was by...
COVID-19’s most transmissible variant yet, Omicron, has arrived just in time for winter, which has long been the most transmissible season for such viruses. It seems like a perfect storm of ‘wrong place, wrong time’, and it’s already leading to event cancellations and overflowing hospitals. Countries around the world attempted to mitigate Omicron’s spread with travel restrictions, but Omicron was too fast. In a matter of weeks, it became the dominant variant in the United States and is spread...

This time last year, who would have thought that 2021 would become just as eventful as the year before. With a new administration, more than 800,000 dead from COVID-19, and unprecedented weather events, there’s no doubt that our ancestors will be studying these times for decades to come. But that’s only the large-scale view. Here in Eddy County, the year was filled with exciting news of a more “firsthand” nature. As we look ahead to 2022, the Transcript will be publishing some of its most me...

Jamestown, N.D. - Winning a state championship is sweet. However, the win is especially powerful after overcoming adversity. Payton Hochhalter, a junior at Jamestown High School, and starting quarterback for the Blue Jay football team, took a hit early in the second quarter of the team's Sept. 17 game against Watford City High School. The tackle broke his collarbone, threatening to sideline his season. "With each breath, I could feel bone touching other bones," he said. "It felt really weird."...

The Supreme Court's assertion in Marbury v. Madison (1803) of the power of judicial review, the authority to declare federal governmental acts unconstitutional, did not consider the question of whether federal courts could review state legislation and state judicial decisions. But that question would emerge in the hurly-burly of the young republic as citizens wrestled with the significant legal and political changes in the American landscape wrought by adoption of the new Constitution. A...
Having served on the State Investment Board on behalf of Governor George Sinner, I have had a continuing interest in the $8 billion pot of gold accumulated in the state treasury from oil revenue. The Fargo Forum and KX Television have been looking for a smoking gun in the State Investment Board, wondering if North Dakota is being well served by consultants that have worked for the state for two decades. Because the financial agreements between the Investment Board and the consultants are exempt...

The New Year is here and I’m excited to see what 2022 has for us! My hope is this coming year will be a season of abundance, not just with material prosperity and success, but of love, health, and spiritual awareness. As we plant seeds of faith, may we have the patience and expectation to witness the harvest of God’s blessings. One of my personal resolutions is to be more generous and joyful even when things are not going well. I’m reminded of a quote by Mother Teresa who said, “Not all of us c...
With 2022 nearly upon us, so too, is the tradition of the New Year’s resolution. Merriam-Webster defines the New Year’s resolution as “a promise to do something differently in the new year.” I would argue that in practice, the resolution is less of a promise and more of a hope or intention. My resolution for 2021 was to read 20 books by year’s end. I failed. I could blame my kids, work, other hobbies, but honestly I blame my phone! In my defense, I was in good company as a flopped resolver; less than half of New Year’s Resolutions are estimat...

Severtson, cashier, had...

Happy New Year! If you are someone who feels compelled to make New Year’s Resolutions, here are some painless resolutions to make you happier and healthier: Become a PLANT owner. We are months away from tending plants in our flower beds and gardens, but how about plants in your office or home? Research shows that just the presence of indoor plants can lower human stress levels. One study found that actively caring for plants calmed the autonomic nervous system and lowered blood pressure. When people work near plants (an outside view through a...
On Tuesday, Dec. 21, the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets won their home opener against the Griggs-Midkota Titans by a score of 55-48. Having been on the road all season, and on the losing end of multiple nail-biters, the Rockets were just 1-4 entering their matchup with the Titans. It became clear on Tuesday, however, that NR-S would be doing things a little differently in front of their home crowd - and it worked. Bennett Meier, DJ Mudgett and Luke Yri all had extended minutes off the bench, and...
