We've got it so good
I’d like to tell you about a man that not many knew.By Kevin Holten , September 01, 2010
Old things, new things, small miracles 
When your time comes what will be your biggest regret? For me it won’t be that I didn’t do enough but that I might have missed as many miracles as hives have bees, corn has kernels, North Dakota has soil and oil, the Great Plains has twisters and Afghanistan has Taliban.

Shacking up can cause problems
“Shacking up” is the old term for cohabitation. But “shacking up” made cohabitation sound so crude we now call it “livein,” a term that applies to 25,000 relationships in North Dakota.

Welcome to the new school year
As registration continues and parents complete their back-to-school shopping, I thought it would be an appropriate time to welcome all students and parents to the 2010-2011 school year.

Chasing your tail?
I’m not a fan of big dogs. Sure I’ve got a four-wheel drive pickup truck and one might assume that I’d love to have a lazy-eyed, hairy buddy sitting next to me with his tongue flopping out the window, sending a cascading stream of drool toward windshields 300 to 400 hundred yards back, but no.

Nonsense cleared off ballot
There is good news and bad news regarding ballot measures on the November ballot in North Dakota. The good news is that several nonsensical proposals did not gather enough signatures for the ballot. The bad news is that one good measure won’t be on the ballot because its sponsors made a procedural mistake. The ballot, which could have had eight measures, will be shorter.

Judge misses state purpose

Favorite birthdays
Which was your favorite birthday? If you say it was your 21st you might be stretching the truth just like everyone else that picks that one but doesn’t really remember it.

Count your blessings
If you’re a “baby boomer,” or younger, you’re spoiled. Now, you may not realize it, but more than likely your grandparents or great-grandparents came from another country, laid a solid foundation in America, your parents added to that foundation and you’ve been bathing in the fruits of their labor ever since.

Much meaning in Relay
Walking into the Dickinson High School Gym alone late on a Friday night after putting the paper to bed held surprises for me, though I didn’t know what to expect.

Smokers had their day
Do you know what I found really interesting about North Dakota when I moved back after having been away for 20-plus years? There are still so many people who smoke.

Column: Back to his roots
New Twins pitcher’s family tree reaches North DakotaFolks in Milton knew all about Anthony Slama. He was a farmer who — because he played a bugle in the Army — developed a fascination for music and formed polka bands, Fourth of July bands, high school bands and even bands that marched down the muddy streets of Milton. That was back in the 1920s.
