  • The Postscript: Travel fantasies

    Carrie Classon|Updated Mar 3, 2021

    I know I am not the only one having travel fantasies. My husband, Peter, and I were not planning to do a lot of traveling in the past year. That was our plan, and we certainly made good on it. We didn’t realize at the time that “not a lot of traveling” would mean a bi-weekly trip to the grocery store. Like a lot of folks, we’ve been tracking how many months we’re getting on a gallon of gas. Now, however, traveling is sounding better all the time. My parents are also making tra...

    Talk about tunnel vision. There's no question, Montana State University-Northern wrestler Isaac Bartel has had a singular focus from the moment the 2020-21 wrestling season started. Actually, that focus to win an NAIA national champion really started the second he walked off the mat after a loss to Grand View's Evan Hansen in the 197-pound national championship match last March in Wichita, Kansas. You see, Bartel is one of those wrestlers, those athletes who can truly say,...

  • George Ferguson: This is going to be a sports week unlike anything we've ever seen, or tried to cover

    George Ferguson|Updated Mar 3, 2021

    There aren’t very many things in this world that COVID-19 hasn’t totally screwed up in the past year. And it’s obviously not done messing with us either. Of course, in the grand scheme of things, the seriousness of this pandemic trumps sports and leisure. I’ve felt that way since the beginning, but even knowing that, it’s still OK to lament just how much the coronavirus has wreaked havoc on our sports landscape. And this weekend around the state of Montana is a shining e...
