I love to putter around and work in the garden, but my back and knees have caused me to curtail my gardening activities, which I miss greatly. Older Gardner Dear Older, There’s no doubt that gardening can be hard on an aging body. Joints stiffen up, kneeling for prolonged periods hurts, and bending and reaching can strain muscles. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up your hobby. You just need to garden differently, add...
Madison Johnson's pursuit of the Carrington girls' track record books bore dividends for the third time this season. Johnson set a new mark in the 3,200-meter run at the Cards' home Kiwanis/Lions Track meet on Saturday, May 4, running an 11:30.05 time to surpass Ashley Neumiller's 2014 standard of 11:39.64. She, along with Kenadie Pazdernik, took a ride outside of their comfort zones to the short sprints, and qualified as possible alternates for the 4x200-meter relay in 1:50.88. Harper Kollman...
The highs and lows of the spring baseball slate continue for the Carrington Cardinals. Carrington built up some momentum with a non-region doubleheader sweep in Tolna over the Nelson County/Midkota Chargers (4-0) and Hatton-Northwood (9-6) in Saturday, May 4 weekend action, but all the good diamond vibes came to a halt with a pair of sizable late-inning swoons in a 10-3 Region 3 loss to LaMoure/Litchville-Marion at Townsend Field in LaMoure last Monday, May 6. The Cards fell behind to the...

In Steele this past Tuesday, the Carrington baseball team patched up some loose ends to their Region 3 schedule, and are now getting ready for postseason play. The Cards won each end of a regional doubleheader with the Kidder County Wolves, winning by scores of 19-1 and 6-0 to improve their record to 8-7 on the season and 5-3 in league contests. Senior righthander Grady Shipman started both halves of the two-game swing, getting some valuable rest thanks to a big five-run first inning that...
A highlight of my early years with the Game and Fish Department as a district game warden was the variety of field-training opportunities. New wardens learn different required skills from seasoned wardens at stations literally in every corner of North Dakota. My primary training warden was Kurt Aufforth, who was stationed in Watford City at the time, and my weeks with him coincided with the paddlefish snagging season. A lot has changed since then. Kurt is retired and I'm a biologist in West Farg...
