  • Savvy Senior: Does Medicare cover mobility scooters or wheelchairs?

    Jim Miller|Nov 15, 2021

    Dear Savvy Senior, I have arthritis in my hips and knees and have a difficult time getting around anymore. What do I need to do to get a Medicare-covered electric-powered scooter or wheelchair? Need a Ride Dear Need, If you’re enrolled in original Medicare, getting an electric-powered mobility scooter or wheelchair that’s covered by Medicare starts with a visit to your doctor’s office. If eligible, Medicare will pay 80 percent of the cost, after you’ve met your Part B deductible ($203 in 2021...

  • Tree Talk: Snow, salt and soils

    Gerri Makay|Nov 15, 2021

    Snow, salt and soil: Not a recipe for the latest trendy dish. But it could be a recipe for tragedy for your turf and trees. As cold and snowy weather sets in, many of us focus on safety precautions – we watch the weather forecast, we gauge the extra time it may take to travel, we check outside to see if we need to sweep or shovel the walk…and maybe, for good measure, we sprinkle (or pour) some de-icing salt on surfaces where ice has formed. Safety first. While safety must be a priority during every season, there are unintended consequences of...

  • As EHD threat ends in west, CWD rises in east

    Nov 15, 2021

    North Dakota's deer hunters breathed a collective sigh of relief last week, much of which could be seen in the air outdoors as temperatures dropped down into the lower teens and even the single digits in some areas. The first hard frost of the fall coming with those temperatures signaled the end to a long, difficult stretch for the state's population of white-tailed deer, especially in the western half of North Dakota, which this summer had been severely impacted by epizootic hemorrhagic...

  • Our Outdoors: For flock's sake

    Nick Simonson|Nov 15, 2021

    There is nothing more surprising on an upland game hunt than to wander into a draw or to the edge of a stretch of grass and watch a covey of grouse or a group of pheasants rise en masse, wings whirring over their warning calls issued in the moment of excitement. Likewise, there are few results more disappointing in the outdoors than to expend two or three shots after an adrenaline-fueled shouldering of a scattergun and come away empty handed from such an amazing opportunity. The phenomenon of...

  • North Dakota Outdoors: Nov. 15, 2021

    Doug Leier|Nov 15, 2021

    When it comes to deer season questions and answers, the best advice I can give is if you don’t know, ask. The best person to ask a specific question on rules and regulations is the game warden in the area you are hunting. Understanding the strains of Game and Fish enforcement during this busy time of year means asking in advance will help aid in getting a question answered quickly. Q: Can I hunt over bait on private land? It is unlawful to hunt over bait, or place bait to attract big game for th...
