RYAN BAKKEN: Plenty of room to enjoy
Here’s a proposed new North Dakotan slogan: “We have elbow room.” That’s something clearly lacking for Rhode Island residents, who recently were revealed in a national poll to experience the least enjoyment of any state. Rhode Islanders also ranked second — behind only West Virginia and its coal miners — for being stressed out.

RYAN BAKKEN: Blue words a golden ticket
Once upon a time, obnoxious behavior was punished. These days, it’s rewarded. The latest example of this cultural U-turn is A.J. Clemente. You likely have heard of him. If you haven’t, he was the news anchor who received acclaim — not scorn — for his two-word, on-air faux pas that rhymes with “ducking fit.”

RYAN BAKKEN: Keeping the past present
Jerry Amiot has been on both sides of historic preservation. As the Polk County auditor for 25 years before his retirement last summer, he understands that some historic buildings, such as the downtown Wayne Hotel here, are too deteriorated to be salvageable.

RYAN BAKKEN: Sand-bag duty is a no brainer

RYAN BAKKEN: Spring won’t arrive until flood danger passes
Spring didn’t start on March 20, as it says on my desk calendar. Nor does it start on baseball’s opening day or Easter Sunday, as some people might suggest.

RYAN BAKKEN: March Madness a good idea for states, too
