Dear Savvy Senior, My siblings and I don’t know much about our elderly parent’s financial situation or their wishes if and when something happens to them. They are both in their mid-eighties. What’s the best way to handle this and what all should we know? Apprehensive Daughter Dear Apprehensive, Many adult children don’t know much about their elderly parent’s financial situation or end-of-life plans, but they need to. Getting up to speed on their finances, insurance policies, long-term...
The Carrington Cardinals, slogging through six consecutive defeats to open their season, were aiming to put together their most complete effort over 32 minutes in hopes of getting into the winner's circle. They just needed the motivation, and the rival NR-S Rockets provided the fuel. It would end up being 32 plus four for Carrington to break through their black cloud, and score a 59-57 upset over the Rockets in the series where overall records don't seem to matter. Josh Bickett's 21 points...
Six-foot-seven Ramsey Walz scored 18 points, including eight in the fourth quarter, as the #3 ranked team in Class B, Bishop Ryan, came into Harvey and defeated the Hornets by 16 on Friday, December 5. Blake Kaylor and Jett Lundeen got the Lions off to a fast start, as they both drained three pointers for a quick 6-0 lead. Avery Williams, Noah Ziegler and Tyler Swang made field goals for HWC, but another three from Hayden Seay helped the Lions to a 14-8 lead after one quarter. A great pass from...
The Griggs/Midkota girls took two defeats in last week's play, suffering a heartbreaking 31-30 loss to Kidder County on January 4, and falling in a 70-36 rout in District 4 play to the Benson County Wildcats on January 9. Statistics from the two games were unavailable at press time, but will be published when they are received....
Griggs/Midkota was saddled with two defeats in the first two days of the Ramsey County boys' basketball tournament in Devils Lake, but salvaged a Saturday win to go 1-2 and finish in seventh place in games from Thursday-Saturday, January 4-6. The Titans matched up with the Devils Lake Firebirds JV team in opening play, and fell by a final count of 73-55. Mason Palmer had 22 points for the 'Birds, followed closely by Garret Peters (15) and Kade Fee (12). Consolation round play pitted G-M against...
It was a case of taking what the opposition was giving them. The Four Winds/Minnewaukan Lady Indians, young but tenacious, put the Carrington Cardinals on the free throw line 18 times in the first leg of their home-and-home Region 2 series at the East Gym Tuesday, December 9. CHS made them pay, hitting 15 of those shots (12 consecutively to begin the game), and hitting three-pointers at the right times to escape with a 43-39 victory. The big sequence of the game came in the third quarter, when...
M-P-B might find the going rough in their search for wins this year on the girls' basketball scene, but at least they have one more player who is a welcome addition to that quest. Senior guard Allison Thomas has made a swift return to the Thunder lineup following a scary-looking knee injury at the end of the volleyball season, and has contributed with games of eight and 10 points in M-P-B's most recent action. The Thunder fell to LaMoure/Litchville-Marion, 48-29, in LaMoure on January 4, but got...
Carrington had three placewinners, including a runner-up finisher, at the Rotary Wrestling Tournament from the Bismarck Event Center January 5-6. Khendra Garcia, along with Jazmyn Ybarra and Ashley Lindberg, earned top eight showings for the Cards at the meet. The Rotary attracts a sizable portion of the girls wrestling programs in the state, as well as several more from South Dakota and one each from Montana and Minnesota. Garcia improved to 24-4 for the season at the Rotary, taking three pins...
On the strength of four placers, the Carrington boys wrestling team scored 103.5 points to take seventh overall at the Lettermen's Tournament in Casselton, held Friday and Saturday, January 5-6. Corbin Clifton wrestled his way to a second place showing at the Lettermen's at 145 pounds, while Dru Carr took third at 121. Both competitors had just one loss on the weekend, with Clifton falling to a Frazee, Minn. wrestler by pin late in the third period. To make the finals, he got a narrow 3-2...
M-P-B took on a quality opponent from District 6 at the Jamestown Civic Center Friday, January 5, and came out of the fray with a 49-46 win. The Washburn Cardinals came into their matchup with the Thunder with just one loss on the season after a four-game streak to begin 2023-24, and both teams played exciting back-and-forth basketball on the JCC hardwood. Six-foot-five senior forward Rylen Wick scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half, and the Thunder's offense also held off Washburn...

HWC may have a 2-10 record, but sometimes progress isn't noticed in records. The Hornet girls played four games this past and showed steady improvement during that time. A highly-touted TGU team ran away from the Hornets, but HWC responded with a better game against Bishop Ryan, falling by 12. The Hornets had a 14- point lead against a North Star team with six wins and fell by four, and had a 10 point lead against Our Redeemers, another six win team, before falling in the final seconds by three...
The first time I felt safe enough to check the ice thickness was Thanksgiving weekend. It wasn't safe yet at 1.5 inches. A week later and it still wasn't. In early December we had 50-plus degree temperatures, making late season pheasant hunters and archery deer hunters smile. The ice anglers pumped their brakes and were frustrated having to wait even longer. The open water fishing in North Dakota in 2023 was record breaking according to Greg Power, fisheries division chief, and hard water...

If you think getting a frog in your throat is annoying, imagine getting a pin caught in your throat! That happened to one little boy in 1933. A doctor found a brass safety pin stuck in the esophagus of six-month old Mark Severson of Fargo, after his parents brought him in due to his restlessness and refusal of food. The boy and his mother flew by plane out to Minneapolis, where specialist Dr. Kenneth Phelps removed the pesky pin in two minutes on this day. Coincidentally, Dr. Phelps had...
POSTED January 12, 4:30 pm On Friday, Jan. 12, Patricia Wick was at the Foster County Courthouse in Carrington for a sudden change of plea hearing, just weeks before her murder trial was due to begin. Wick, a former Carrington daycare owner accused of killing a 5-month-old boy in her care, amended her plea to guilty on all charges. Originally, she had pleaded not guilty to a Class AA felony murder charge, after the infant was found unresponsive in her home and later declared dead at a hospital i...
