  • Eyes that see the good in things: Lunch money

    Allison Lindgren|Mar 2, 2020

    Each month, Kate and Derek Ehnert, the owners of the Hillsboro Cafe and Bakery designate a cupcake flavor as the cupcake of the month and donate a percentage of the proceeds from those cupcake sales to the Hillsboro Public Schools unpaid lunch accounts during the past year. Since they started the program in 2019, they have sold 2,425 cupcakes to help pay unpaid lunch balances. According to a recent article in the “Grand Forks Herald,” the Ehnerts approached Hillsboro Public Schools Sup...

    Gary Lindquist|Mar 2, 2020

    Unfortunately, Hannah Haley did not play in this game, due to a back injury. The Rockets never quit, but it was just too much.

  • What it takes: Public works crew takes action when the snow starts to melt

    Oakley Brazil|Mar 2, 2020

    At school, I’ve been learning about the water cycle and I realized there is a bit of snowmelt going on. This was especially clear when I took a walk on an unusually warm winter day. I paid extra attention to the water that was melting from the winter’s snow. The water was all going somewhere, but I wasn’t sure where. As I pondered many of my ideas, I decided to interview the City of New Rockford Public Works Superintendent Bruce Hirchert to learn more about what it takes to manage snow and snowm...

  • Our Outdoors: Potential Energy

    Nick Simonson|Mar 2, 2020

    The rating on a box of shotgun shells reads 1180, 1205 or more than 1300 feet per second, the speed at which the pellets are disbursed in pursuit of a thrown clay or an incoming goose. The bent coil at the base of a tip-up flag is precariously held in place by the notch in the T-bar at the top of the plastic and metal fish trap, ready to go off with the tug of a pike below the ice. In that moment to begin the first open water foray, the weight of a jig and twister suspended in the air of a back...

  • Hunter's Education Evolves, Answers Demand

    Nick Simonson|Mar 2, 2020

    While winter and spring aren't often associated with hunting in the upper Midwest, the months of January through May are an important time in the lives of young hunters as the bulk of hunter education courses are offered to those looking to get licensed in time for next fall's seasons. With the help of hundreds of volunteer instructors throughout the state, agents of the North Dakota Game & Fish Department (NDG&F), like Hunter Education Supervisor John Mazur, look to provide participants not...

  • The Mini Chernobyl

    Nick Simonson|Mar 2, 2020

    If it's fly tying season and you're thinking spring is coming outdoors, you've got to be thinking summer when it comes to finishing off your patterns. The later stretches of the cold weather season often reflect the planning for the latter stages in the warm water season, and tying projects often revolve around those bigger bites and more aggressive patterns that are employed in summer for trout and panfish. While there might not appear to be much that is tiny about the Mini Chernobyl, in compar...
