Flag Day Oh, say – do you remember that June 14 is Flag Day? That means that, from the dawn's early light to the bright rocket's – or, in this case, firecrackers' glare – we'll be honoring the red, white and blue banner of stars and stripes and commemorating when the United States adopted it as a symbol of our nation. The flag has meant many things to many people. During trying times, patriotism often seems especially important. During World War II, in 1942, a sense of patriotism perme...

I love going to greenhouses and seeing the colorful flowers for sale. With all the varieties available, I struggle with deciding which plants will come home with me. I like to grab different flower packs and hold them up together to see which ones will complement each other. Although the choices at a greenhouse seem endless, there is one flower that is always guaranteed a spot in my shopping cart: moss rose. It's bright, easy to grow and thrives here in the Dakotas. My love for moss roses...
Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good over-the-counter hearing aids for seniors on a budget? I’m not sure what to get or where to buy them.

These new hearing aids can be purchased at pharmacies, consumer electronics stores or online without a hearing exam, prescription, or a...
Forty years ago this July, Foster County celebrated its Centennial – 100 years of existence.

Our ancestors. People from five or more generations back, who relocated from burgeoning eastern cities, scrappy towns and farms and even the Old World to build a good life for themselves and coming g...

Like PGA star Phil Mickelson, and borrowing from his baseball tenure, Grady Shipman is a natural right-hander who swings both his clubs and his bat left-handed. That dominant right eye served him well in his "other" spring sport, as the junior earned an individual State Class B Tournament spot at the Region 2 team qualifier at CrossRoads Golf Club Wednesday, May 31. Shipman shot a score of 75, or three over par, to finish four strokes ahead of the automatic individual standard and become CHS's...

Grady Shipman's dogged intensity, IQ on the field and drive to succeed, along with trusting his natural abilities, helped him secure a spot on North Dakota's select Class B hardball squad.

Where there's fire, firefighters are sure to follow. And lucky for us, too – for they are the protectors of a country where fiery disasters are many, varied, and terrible. Growing up, many children learn about and consider becoming firemen, and they are almost universally considered heroes, in our culture. Braving the flames, racing to avert disaster, they are men and women the rest of us can depend upon. The Twenty Ninth Convention of the North Dakota Firemens Association was a big event for t...
