The closing line of 1980 Team USA Olympic hockey coach Herb Brooks' fabled speech in "Miracle" to his team before they took on the Soviets rang true for the Medina/Pingree-Buchanan Thunder. "This. . . is your time. Now go out there and take it." Sawyer Wanzek's three-pointer from the left wing with three seconds remaining, and a defensive stop on the following possession, triggered bedlam on the floor from M-P-B players and supporters as they executed an improbable 57-56 win over favored...
As a police officer by profession, Chris Ormiston spends one night weekly at Central City Lanes to unwind from a job that provides its own special level of stress and anxiety. On the evening of February 9, however, those feelings came to Ormiston at the bowling alley, with the prospect of the sport's biggest individual thrill staring at him in the form of the 10 pins 60 feet away from the foul line, spread in width just under 42 inches.

If you don’t fish, what I’m about to say won’t sound logical: Catch-and-release isn’t always the best choice for fishing. What? The short answer is when you catch and release a fish and the fish doesn’t end up surviving, then releasing a fish back into the water can do more harm than good. Stay with me. For most situations, catch-and-release remains a tried-and-true approach to long term fisheries conservation. The practice of catching the fish, followed by a quick and healthy release, will keep...
