A relaunched effort to attract workers and families to settle in North Dakota aims to rely on local “community champions” to act as connectors between newcomers and local employment. Gov.

Job Service North Dakota estimates 40,000 openings in the state with...
The 2023 archery season has begun, and Independent-area archers set their benchmarks at the Kensal bullseye tournament on Jan. 21. Senior Gavyn Anderson led the Cardinal archers to a solid finish at the tournament. Anderson's score of 272 was fourth-highest among high school boys.

Harvey-Wells County outscored Velva, 21-10, in the third quarter and then pulled away in the fourth to clinch a 64-50 win over Velva in a makeup game from late December. This game took place on Friday, January 20, in Harvey. Five players from each team scored in the opening quarter, which was tight throughout.

Two different schools took on the Carrington basketball programs Saturday afternoon, January 21, both looking to extend season-long undefeated status. The newly-minted #1 team in Class B girls, the Rugby Panthers, and the fifth-ranked Ellendale Cardinal boys almost got the bite from the upset bug. In this case, the term "almost" was the overriding theme, as the CHS Cards had third-quarter leads against Ellendale (by seven) and were within a possession of the Panthers at the start of the fourth....

The final score was a 10-point win in the books for the Carrington boys' basketball team, 52-42.

KC remained unbeaten in league play at 4-0 and 11-3 overall. Boxscores from the two games...

North Dakota has a very contradictory history when it comes to women. As the 19th century blended into the 20th, many thousands of women moved here to homestead and wrestle out a living for themselves. Despite their hardiness and proven strength, their road to getting the vote was a rocky one. It was on this day in 1917 that they finally achieved their goal. Women's Suffrage almost passed as early as 1872 - in Dakota Territory - failing by only one vote. In 1885, Republican Territorial...
