Northern Celebrations: Gearing up for summer

Admittedly, North Dakotans have a narrow window of opportunity to soak up the joys of summer. Perhaps that’s why summer is - hopefully – so greatly valued. Each sunny day is a treasure. A day of light breeze is a godsend (granted, some may say it’s also a miracle). That’s not saying North Dakota’s weather […]

Northern Celebrations: Free fishing and a challenge

Nowadays, it might seem weird that back in the early 1990s, the N.D. Game and Fish Department formed an internal committee to look at ways to promote fishing opportunities in the state. After all, in a state with a population of less than 800,000 people, the agency anticipates more than 200,000 will be sold in […]

Northern Celebrations: It’s spring – think about November deer hunting

It’s the end of May, but it’s time to start thinking about deer hunting. Especially because the 2022 North Dakota deer gun and muzzleloader applications are available with the June 8 deadline typically approaching faster than what one realizes. The early June deadline is a decades old tradition. Even though license applications aren’t due until […]

In the Opinion of Michael Connelly

Letter to the Editor

TIF for 8 years was voted on [May 20] in a 4-1 vote. I have received several phone calls since yesterday. One caller indicated that one of the commissioners asked a question or made a statement not even pertaining to the Big M Building. Another caller said I have never participated in politics, but I […]

Northern Celebrations: They’re back – U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service welcomes visitors with two special upcoming events

Only a 2011 historic flood and two-year pandemic kept Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) from hosting Special Needs Fishing Day each June. While that same pandemic halted Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery’s annual Memorial Day weekend Hatchery Fun Day for two years, both activities are back and hosts are welcoming people once again. Hatchery […]

Northern Celebrations: Celebrating the joy of migration

The boisterous chirping was treasured morning music as the two Hunting Maniacs of the household and I started our early morning walking routine – they pretending to “hunt” along the muddy trail and me hoping they didn’t get too filthy in the process. The mud was welcomed even though it came from the hands of […]

Northern Celebrations: Paddlefish – a survivor of time   

They’re a treasure, a living fossil surviving millions of years found in only one part of North America. And some call North Dakota home. They’re paddlefish, a massive, prehistoric fish scientists trace back to the Cretaceous Period 65 million years ago. Only one other paddlefish species found in Asia exists outside of the large, slow-flowing […]

In the Opinion of Michael Connelly

Letter to the Editor

In response to Shane McLoughlin's letter to the editor. He seems like a nice man and sincere about his comments but 10 years in Minot doesn't come close to the Midwest Federal Building, that's the period of time it was closed. Let me explain. I came to Minot in 1958 after spending two years with […]

Northern Celebrations: Spring means tick season         

They’re small. They’re annoying. But they can also be debilitating and deadly. For some beloved dog owners, Tick Season is a year-around occurrence. For others, it’s a seasonal thing. How soon it starts, how long it lasts, and the types of diseases they can transmit vary with one’s location in the United States. Some can […]
