Veterans Day is a day that is set aside to honor and celebrate the people who have given so much to guarantee our freedom in the United States.

The Valley Brook Home for Veterans was a lifesaver for veteran Joe Malcolm. As a matter o...
Nov. 4, 2019 is the anniversary of the death of Dr. Paul H. Burton. He came of age during the days of making house calls on horseback. Burton was born at Boscobel, Wisc., on July 16, 1876, and studied medicine at the University of Minnesota. During those years, he also practiced at Kenmare for several months. He graduated about 1901, practiced for a time in northern Minnesota, and then moved to Fargo, where he went into private practice. Dr. Burton’s medical internship was relatively unusual. He was appointed to the Stillwater Prison. Among t...
It's one of the goals good football teams work for all year, the right to host a playoff game. It didn't quite work out as planned on the NR-S Rockets' end, but the team's adopted home turf at Farmers Union Field in Casselton ended up being a much more stable surface for one of the Nine-Man division's title contenders to show their stuff than the standing water blanketing Jim Johnson Field back home would have been. The Rockets began their journey towards the Dakota Bowl with a 60-14 win over...

Wild fish and game is a common, much anticipated course to many a North Dakota meal. But if you’ve ever tried a piece of freezer burned fish, or taken a bite of a sour piece of jerky you may hesitate the next time it’s offered your way. This is why proper care of wild game, and food safety recommendations, are an important component to not only enjoying a meal, but also introducing the next generation of hunters and anglers to the tasty end products of a day in the field or on a lake. With fal...
