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...
The three of us have known each other dating back a half century when Dorothy Bradley and Bob Brown were young legislators and Marc Racicot was emerging as a top prosecuting attorney. Over the decades we have been fierce competitors as well as staunch allies in the rough and tumble arena of Montana politics. We have maintained our friendship and appreciated our varying commitments, which was once a worthy Montana tradition. Now, we are brought together by a common cause so compelling that we are speaking out together. Our...
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.

You see, Bartel is one of those wrestlers, those athletes who can truly say,...

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...
