N.D. bonanza farmer lived interesting life before perishing aboard the Titanic 
Even as her husband, H.F. Chaffee, helped her slip between the ship railings into a lifeboat below, Titanic passenger Carrie Chaffee believed everything would be fine. It’s going to be alright, her husband assured her. You’ll be rowed back to the ship in just a few minutes. As the 100th anniversary of the epic disaster nears, some may not realize that one of North Dakota’s most prominent men was among the 1,488 passengers who didn’t make it. Chaffee, a successful bonanza farmer and financial wizard, was just 47 at the time of his death.

RYAN BAKKEN: Thompson still 'slice of heaven' despite loss of gravel streets

Bedroom community. Speed trap. Gravel streets. Yes, Thompson still is inhabited mostly by people who work in Grand Forks. And, yes, you don’t want to break the speed limit because you’ll get collared. The speed trap is our version of economic development. But, get out the sander to remove the third stereotype from the granite. By the end of this year, approximately two-thirds of Thompson’s roadways will be paved.

RYAN BAKKEN: What's in a presidential name?
"My interest about first names comes from today’s politics," columnist Ryan Bakken writes. "In November, we will elect a president named Barack, Mitt or Newt. None of those names rank in the top 1,000 of names selected in 2010."

‘A Visit from St. Nicholas’
’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

Bashful, the horse that tried to escape, back in the Badlands
Bashful, a 3-year-old horse born in Theodore Roosevelt National Park, walks calmly into the buffalo pens Saturday, where he was rounded up a year ago. His owner, Dan Sparling, guides him with ease from the horse’s back. It may be hard to believe that, a year ago, the now docile Bashful jumped from the sales arena in a panicked attempt to escape, injuring himself and a 79-year-old man in the process.
