My wife and I took care of our five-year-old grandson last week. It was a blast but we’re exhausted. We went to two different parks, a children’s science museum (three times!), took him fishing and even played a game of tag on his last morning with us. He’s going through a growth spurt as well, and he had a big appetite. Each day, he burned that food energy with lots of running around and activity. Go, go, go.

He proposed the formation of the Bismarck Bachelors Club to promote...
The opening schedule for the fall of 2022 didn't leave the Carrington Cardinal football team a lot of wiggle room. Three of their first four games in 11B - Region 2 came against eventual playoff teams, and all four ended in losses. An exciting back-and-forth win in Grafton got them on the board, and they then won three straight contests to give them a chance for a win-and-in game with Langdon/Edmore/Munich on the last game of the season for a playoff spot. One 42-0 loss later, and the Cards' sea...
