They certainly made up for that shortfall when they went to the collegiate level and suited up for the University of Jamestown program. Four years later for Mehring and two for Moser, the pair are basking in the glory of the Jimmies' first-ever National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) national championship team...
For nearly a week, from Dec. 12 through Dec. 16, Foster County and much of the Great Plains endured one of the most severe and long-lasting blizzards in recent memory. Most of North Dakota was effectively shut down, as crews worked around the clock to clear city streets. Meanwhile, Monday's freezing rain and the near-zero visibility that followed often made county roads and highways impassable. Both the New Rockford-Sheyenne and Carrington Public Schools, and many more throughout the state,...

New year’s resolutions - who actually sticks to them anyway? I’ve said for years that there is no reason to make one if I don’t plan to keep it. Thus, I haven’t made any resolutions for some time. Readers, this year is different. So many people I love and respect have told me that I have “too much on my plate.” “You’ll find a way to get it all done,” I keep telling myself. “Just finish these three (or 10) more items on the to-do list and you can rest.” The trouble is, the list keeps getting lo...
I was at my desk one day at The Kenmare News and the telephone rang. It was Karen Pauls of CBC-TV in Winnipeg. She was calling to ask me if I knew anything about some Nigerians who were hospitalized in Kenmare. I hadn’t heard about such a thing and my first question to her was, “How do you know that?” Karen’s reply, “Word gets around.” Needless to say I was quite surprised, but then got to thinking she must know people in Canada Customs and Border Protection who mentioned it. Regardless,...

The American voting system has been proven clean – no fraud, no cheating, no election stealing. Because Donald Trump had such a big voice on t...

For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be working on my end-of-the-year reports. It’s a great time to reflect on what went well and what could have gone better. I thought that the reports would provide a good foundation for this month’s column. But let’s face it – reports are boring. Instead, how about some highlights! This was the 30th straight year that I planted at least one tree in the spring. In 2022, I helped plant nearly a dozen new trees at the Myra Arboretum near Larimore, in western G...
