Dear Savvy Senior, Can you write a column on how to recognize elder abuse and what to do if you suspect it? Concerned Relative Dear Concerned, Elder abuse is a big problem in the United States that has escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the National Council on Aging, as many as 5 million seniors are victims of abuse each year, but studies suggest this crime is significantly under-reported. Only 1-in-14 cases of elder abuse ever get reported to the authorities because victims...
Necessity is the mother of invention, as the saying goes. Because of their date with the HWC Hornets being postponed on two occasions, the NR-S Rockets were forced to come up with a different solution to ensure that all their Super Region 4 matches would be played. So, the Rockets elected to play a rare two-team varsity-only doubleheader last Tuesday night in the NR-S Gym, facing the Hornets the same night as their scheduled match with Langdon/Edmore/Munich. NR-S had a competitive first set...
Thirty-eight service aces in two matches makes for quick bus rides, or at least as quick as they can be when hitting the pavement to the northwesternmost reaches of Super Region 4. That was one of the big signs of success for the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets, who took a pair of quick victories against Rolette-Wolford (25-11, 25-3, 25-6) and St. John (25-17, 25-7, 25-13) on October 15 and 19 to keep their points string untouched at 6-0 (3-0 in Region matches) and improve to 6-4 for the season. S...
New Rockford-Sheyenne's Chloe Heinz, by virtue of her 17th place finish at the Class B East Region Cross Country Meet in Cooperstown, has earned All-Region status.

Two other runners competed for the Rockets in the girls' race, those being Ava Peterson, who took 84th overall (24:03.1), and Katie Allmaras (24:11.0), just two places behind...
Most hunters, and nonhunters for that matter, are shocked, surprised and maybe a little bewildered, when they learn that just 35 game wardens safeguard North Dakota's vast hunting and fishing resources across the state. Certainly, no one has led me to believe those warden numbers are too high. Just think of the geographic expanse mixed in with topography from the badlands and Turtle Mountains, to the hills of the coteau and the flats of the drift prairie. There's plenty of nooks and crannies to...

Some hunting seasons bring snow, cold, winds and inhospitable conditions which we as hunters prepare for in order to pursue an oft-anticipated portion of our year, and in the end find success in the field through our efforts. These efforts may start way back in spring or summer, getting into shape through a workout regimen, sighting in a new rifle, or logging countless rounds of trap, skeet or sporting clays to feel comfortable with our physical abilities and shooting skills. The purchase of gea...

Throughout late summer and early fall, the North Dakota Game & Fish Department (NDG&F) had received reports of dead and sick deer on the landscape throughout southwestern North Dakota. As September progressed into October, the reports remained steady and expanded throughout the western half of the state. Charlie Bahnson, NDG&F Veterinarian, confirmed the growing presence of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) on the landscape shortly after the first reports came in August. Carried by biting...
While silence in pursuit of deer is an important factor in setting up a successful hunt, as the rut approaches, making the right noise can be key in bringing a big buck in. With dozens of affordable methods available and deer firearms seasons across the upper Midwest rapidly approaching, now may be the time to add some calls to your arsenal and help seal the deal in the field this November. Rat-a-Tat Rattling antlers can be employed all season long with some success, but the best time of the...
