14 months, and no charges yet in death of 2 children in Spirit Lake reservation
Destiny DuBois, 9, and her brother Travis DuBois Jr., 6, were found under a mattress in their father's home, slain by a knife or another cutting weapon. Their mother Mena Shaw discovered them there after their father Travis DuBois reported them missing. Almost 14 months later, nobody has been charged. Now, the search here on the Spirit Lake Nation is for answers to crimes that shook the community and have been cited as a grave example of endangered children on the reservation.

75 years of Spam
OK, so we missed the 75th anniversary of Spam by a day. But the canned ham “product” that helped win World War II and seemed an appropriate name for waves of unwanted emails always has seemed more leftovers than main course.

Grand Forks man ponders war that took great-great grandfather’s life
Kjersti Johnson’s death at the age of 71 “came very suddenly,” the Hillsboro Banner reported in 1933.

OUR OPINION: Check, correct pattern of census underestimates
If the census estimates for North Dakota consistently are inaccurate, then the way the government makes the estimates should change. That's the bottom line from the latest estimates, which show Grand Forks to be losing population at a time of brisk home sales, stepped-up tax collections and low hotel and apartment vacancy rates.

Farm program aims to help returning vets find peace, purpose
On a small organic farm outside San Diego, a former combat Marine has found peace and purpose in the tending of plants and in providing other combat veterans a way to find their places in life after war. At Archi’s Acres, the phrase “boots on the ground” has a whole new meaning, and the sounds of those boots working hydroponic “fields” of basil, chard and deep-green lettuce are echoing around the country, including in the Red River Valley.

UND nickname supporters fighting on
After state voters widely favored allowing UND to retire the Fighting Sioux nickname, nickname supporters filed documents to continue their legal efforts against the NCAA. The Spirit Lake tribe’s Committee for Understanding and Respect has appealed last month’s decision by U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson to dismiss its lawsuit against the NCAA, in which the tribe argued that Sioux people were inappropriately denied “a seat at the table” in negotiations over use of the name, among other issues.
