The fading tracks of snowmobiles can been seen adjacent to open water in this view of the Souris River near Burlington taken on Tuesday. Water being released from Lake Darling has begun the process of breaking up ice in the river.
FOXHOLM — After a winter of hibernation the Souris River is beginning to show signs of life.
Quiet and frozen for several months, the river has begun to open up following the recent release of water from Lake Darling. There is open water at several places in the river, particularly around bridges and shallow mud flats.
Water can be seen flowing around bridge pilings near Burlington and over several coffer dams within Minot. River watchers can expect to see greater flows over the next several days.

Vaya con dios, cable showsSun, March 7, 2010 @ 11:25PM In this week’s topic, vaya con dios, finales, closing out with a brief comment about Tim Burton’s brilliant feature film “Alice in Wonderland.” Men of a Certain Age First, however, I forgot to talk last week about the season finale of TNT’s “Men of a Certain Age” featuring Ray Romano, Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula. It was OK. I mean, the show itself was pretty low key, adventurewise, running the same night as “24,” “Heroes” heck, even “Chuck.” Over the course of the show Ray’s character, Joe, gained a better rapport with his anxiety-attack-prone son and the tiniest bit of rapport with his teenage daughter -- or, more to the point, the guys she was dating. He forced himself to confront his gambling addiction once his bookie casually strolled into his home and his son saw him. And he decided to pursue a lapsed dream as a professional golfer.

I skipped the Olympics this yearWed, March 3, 2010 @ 1:52PM The Olympics are over? Why did I not watch them? I used to love watching the figure skating during the Olympics but I realize now that I didn't watch much of those. I think I turned in at the tail end of the women's figure skating competition just in time to see the medal ceremony. I think the Canadian who lost her mom was the bronze medalist. I'm still not sure who the gold medalist was. I haven't bothered to look up the medal count. I'm not sure what the problem was this year. Surely the athletes were as good as they ever are. I do find the figure skaters' costumes pretty outrageous. Some of the costumes could rival a Las Vegas showgirl act or some avant garde production off Broadway. I'd be in favor of some sort of dress code like they have at Wimbledon requiring that skaters look grown-up and dignified, like they should given the elegance of the sport. They are spectacular athletes and often gifted artists.
