Spring cleaning often means clearing yards and gardens for the upcoming growing season, and dusting off the golf clubs and kayaks for sunny days in Sanders County. If your spring cleaning included cleaning out sheds and closets, it may be time to start organizing and pricing those items. The annual Sanders County Yard Sale-ing event is set for June 22 and 23. The event, presented by the Thompson Falls Main Street Committee and sponsored by local businesses, is an opportunity for residents to hold garage sales and take advantage of cooperative...
The first metal horse of Plains is done, but creator Kenton Pies now has a bigger hurdle to get over – funding his project. "It's quite a relief to have it finished. It's a joy, but I have changes to make on the rest of them – artists are never satisfied," said the 85-year-old Plains artist, who created a steel horse that he hopes will be a sample of the future "Wild Horse Plains" herd, which will be located somewhere along the greenway. Pies started working on the prototype horse last Sep...
by John Hamilton Red Devil rising; and he is not finished yet. Goal-oriented Noxon junior Levi Brubaker went well past a couple of his personal goals in the triple jump and won the State C title in the event Saturday in Great Falls with an NHS school-record effort of 44 feet, 3 inches. Soaring well past several goals he had set for himself in the triple jump this spring, Brubaker will have one very big one in mind when he starts lifting off again next year – the State C record of 45-7. Also w...
Plains track and field coach Denise Montgomery knows there is a lot more to being a team than simply practicing and competing together. She knows that sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses; or in this case, stop and do some fishing. Promoting team unity and having fun along the way, Montgomery guided her Trotter and Horsemen thinclads through the State C meet in Great Falls Friday and Saturday, with a few welcome diversions along the way, one of which was to finally put a fishing pole...
One season into her Thompson Falls track and field coaching job, Trenna Ferris is thinking she is one fortunate person, a very lucky coach, if you will. "It has been an incredibly fun thing to walk into, taking over this program," she said Monday. "Randy (Symon, the previous long-time coach for Blue Hawk track and field) did an amazing job of building this program into what it is today, and I am honored to get the chance to carry it forward." Making her first trip to the State B meet as Blue...
The Plains-Hot Springs Trotters now know they belong among the best, and will make another run at advancing on to, and doing well in the 2019 State B-C tournament next season. With only two seniors – Stacy Gray and Jessica Thompson – being lost to graduation, the young Trotters played well at last week's State B-C tourney in Belgrade but lost 10-7 to Huntley Project Thursday and 8-7 to Cut Bank Friday in loser-out action. Coach Michele Bangen and her much-better-than-average Trotters complete pl...
Shanks a Lot, then Feed-N-Fuel… Feed-N-Fuel, then Shanks a Lot… The Shanks a Lot and Feed-N-Fuel teams have been trading the lead back and forth in Tuesday Night Men’s League play so far this season. Last week’s action was no different as Feed-N-Fuel supplanted Shanks a Lot after the scores were all counted. Although Shanks a Lot golfers Dave Garr, Rusty Haggard, Charlie Hooten and Ron Beaty shot the low team gross of 170, Feed-N-Fuel duffers Kelly Kovarik, Dave Petteys, Steve Clark and Mike Gilmore shot the low team net of 128 to move past the...
