Tough winter conditions thus far in North Dakota have some citizens concerned about the stress on wildlife. Kevin Kading, state Game and Fish Department private land section leader, said harsh winters often generate conversations and questions about feeding wildlife, particularly deer and pheasants. “The department does not promote winter feeding and does not have a winter-feeding program,” Kading said. “We recognize that many people care deeply about wildlife, and it can be difficult to watch nature play out, but feeding operations, good...
Carrington's return to the wrestling mats for the new year, at least on the girls' side, featured the return of one competitor to action for her first matches this campaign. Junior Taya Lura healed sufficiently from an elbow injury to take home seventh place at 105 pounds at the Bismarck Rotary, going 2-2 with two pins in the process. Three other Cardinal wrestlers placed at the Rotary, led by fifth place showings by Mercedes Lura at 120 pounds and Ashley Lindberg at 250, and Khendra Garcia's...

If the Ellendale Cardinals shoot like they did at this year’s Stutsman County Tournament, there most likely won’t be a Region 3 program that can hang with them come postseason time. The back-to-back tournament title-winners made it a three-peat with a 69-52 win over the M-P-B Thunder Saturday night, January 7, at the Jamestown Civic Center, on the strength of 11 three-pointers. And that wasn’t even their best long-range shooting night of the tourney, as EHS drained 14 trifectas in a 72-47 win o...
The Rugby Panthers outscored Harvey-Wells County by 10 in the second quarter, and then needed double overtime to defeat the Hornets, 68-62, in Rugby on Friday, January 6. The Hornets had the hot hand to begin the game, as Tate Grossman knocked down two treys and Gabe Allmaras made another, helping HWC to a 9-4 lead with just 1:30 off the clock. The strong inside work of the Panthers' Brody Schneibel, who scored seven, and the versatility of Erik Foster, who chipped in with four more, gave Rugby...
On Thursday, January 5, the Carrington Cardinals kept their winning ways going with a dominant 66-20 victory over the Cardinals of Ellendale. Carrington, by now well known for their full-court pressure, stuck to what's been working for them on Thursday, and Ellendale couldn't cope. CHS piled on the pressure all game long, rendering Ellendale incapable of generating consistent offense. Carrington juniors Madison Johnson and Kacie Rexin were a particularly sharp thorn in their side, as the two of...
The Central McLean Cougars kept their unbeaten season alive and kept their top 10 ranking in Class B Girls intact with a convincing 65-33 win over Harvey-Wells County in Harvey on Saturday, January 7.

Taya Hornberger connected on a three-pointer, and Ashtyn Smith added two more and a two-and-one as Smith scored 10 and...

As the luck of the schedule maker would have it, it took three full days before Carrington and Griggs/Midkota renewed acquaintances. Fresh off the Cards’ 55-44 win in the consolation championship in the Stutsman County Tournament, the Cards and Titans locked up once again, this time in a District 5 counter at the East Gym. A 13-1 run for Carrington set the tone right from the whistle, and they withstood an early spurt of the Titans’ own to take a 24-point victory, 61-37, and improve to 2-0 in di...

The Foster-Sargent team earned the privilege of representing North Dakota in the Western Round-up when they won the sen...
The Carrington boys wrestlers didn't win all four of their duals in last week's worth of triangulars in Casselton (January 5) and Lisbon (January 10), but they took the most important ones. In a Region 2 three-team dual meet, the Cards took a 35-33 squeaker over the Central Cass Squirrels and a 51-30 win against HWC to keep their regional dual record perfect at 4-0 for the winter. CHS didn't have much of any luck against the Class B power Lisbon Broncos five nights later, falling in 51-30...
On Tuesday, January 10, the Carrington girls wrestling team traveled to Lisbon to compete in their third and fourth duals of the year. The Cards faced the host Broncos, and took a 54-27 victory mostly on forfeit points. Even with that, Carrington still recorded three pin victories and dropped a close overtime match at 120 pounds. Another match with East Region implications followed, as CHS took on West Fargo United, a co-op of the three West Fargo high schools (WFHS, Sheyenne and Horace)....
On January 3 in 1912, the first publication of what would become a very well-known editorial magazine was put out in Bismarck: the Jim Jam Jems. The Bismarck Tribune reported that the “unique” magazine immediately “became a sensation,” and no wonder … the magazine provided commentary on political actions and decisions, using sensationalism, propaganda, humor and satire. Mostly textual, each issue ran around 60 pages, delivering what its author believed the subtitle promised: “A Volley of Truth.” In fact, the first issue’s cover featured a guil...
