On Tuesday, April 5, the New Rockford-Sheyenne track team had intended on competing in the Hazen Early Bird Outdoor Meet, but due to unforeseen weather circumstances, the meet was canceled. In the nick of time, NR-S tracksters registered for the Maple River Conference Indoor Track & Field Invitational, held in the Olson Forum at Concordia College. This last minute change of events didn’t seem to bother any of the track athletes, specifically Kelsie Belquist. Belquist, yet again, blew it out of the park in three-of-four events; which were the 5...
The Sheyenne-New Rockford Black Sox kicked off their baseball season on Monday, April 4, in New Rockford. The Black Sox were originally scheduled to take on the Mustangs of Midkota/Dakota Prairie/Lakota/Griggs County Central (Midkota) in Tolna, but the game was rerouted to New Rockford because Tolna's baseball diamond wasn't ready. But despite their unexpected home field advantage, SNR committed a number of errors that proved too difficult to overcome. After earning a strikeout against the first...
Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about atrial fibrillation? Every so often, I’ve noticed my heart starts beating rapidly for no particular reason. Is this something I should be worried about? Anxious Annie Dear Annie, Heart palpitations can be harmless if they are brief and infrequent. But if you’re experiencing an erratic heart rhythm, you need to get checked out by a doctor for atrial fibrillation, or AFib. AFib – which is marked by rapid, fluttering beats – can lead to serious complic...
The Dec. 9, 1904, “Transcript” carried some School Notes written by the English Class: Lloyd Beardsley had been absent almost the entire week with illness. Each day after 4 p.m. an advanced arithmetic class was meeting in the high school to do review work. The Literary Society met on Dec. 8. Sam Swanson and Martin Mostue (Swanson & Mostue) of the North Star Livery Barn had a notice for the party who placed a 9-year old roan mare, a 6-year old dark bay horse, and a Harrison wide tire wagon in...
Outdoor notes: *People are asked to report any dead birds and abnormal behavior in migrating birds, especially waterfowl, shorebirds, and raptors, to the N.D. Game and Fish Dept. on their wildlife mortality reporting form, (gf.nd.gov/wildlife/diseases/mortality-report), due to a national outbreak of highly contagious avian influenza. It can also impact domestic poultry. While rarely infectious to humans, hunters or anyone handling poultry should use precautions, such as avoiding handling sick an...
In the depths of the cold channel, I felt my line slowly pull away from the bottom and gave a steady tug back on the jig below. The end of my rod bowed in a long arch as the heavy fish moved along as if it hadn't realized it had been hooked yet. The weight below was far cry from that of the 12-to-14-inch lethargic walleyes we had been dredging out of the reach upstream from us which required a 10-, 15- or even 20-count to ensure the hook was in their mouths on the cold spring day. Unlike the...
Finally! I'm back into full open water guide mode here on the Missouri River near Bismarck. Spring is kind of here, if you look outside my window today, it would be easy to argue that it's winter, but we definitely need the moisture. I have lots to talk about in this week's fishing report. So far, we have decent access to the river. Many of the ramps in the area are still useable at this time. The water is definitely low and navigation in areas is a tad tricky but overall, not terrible. One thin...
Aquatic nuisance species (ANS) have become one of the biggest concerns facing the health of recreational fisheries throughout the country and throughout North Dakota. Whether it's the spread of zebra mussels introduced from far away waters in Europe and Asia into lakes throughout the upper Midwest, including those in the Roughrider state, or the invasive silver carp which leap from the water and displace gamefish species in the James River throughout South Dakota and into North Dakota, the...
