It was a first for the state park in Thompson Falls, and for many youth in attendance. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) held the first annual Kids Fishing Day at the small pond in the park. "We were very fortunate with the weather," said fisheries biologist Jason Blakney on the overcast morning, "perfect fishing weather – we didn't get rained on and it wasn't too hot." Blakney, other FWP representatives and Forest Service personnel were on site to assist kids in finding a passion for f...

It looks like another dog fight is brewing in the Wednesday Night Men’s League, and it will be fought out on the fairways and greens of River’s Bend over the next several weeks.

You have to get up pretty early in the morning if you are going to be part of the Over the Hill golfing gang. Okay, you really don’t have to get up that early, but you do have to show up for the Monday mid-morning tee time with a smile on your face and enough clubs in your bag. Those are really the only prerequisites. Showing up with smiles on and clubs in hand, this area’s famously friendly golfing league got after it again on River’s Bend this past Monday morning as 36 of Sanders County’s finest canvassed the scenic course in search of bird...

Independence Day, my favorite summer holiday. Friends, fireworks, water fights, cornhole, and of course a barbeque. For me, good food is a must for a good celebration. This year, and for the past several years, we will be celebrating with friends. It's always a great time, and the food is always amazing. I'm sure I'll eat too much and I'll probably even "cheat" a little (who can say no to a red, white and blue Rice Krispy treat? Not this girl). To save myself from having too many delicious...
A lone singer sat on the Rex Theater stage Saturday and strummed his guitar to a nearly empty theater. Sharing his traditional-style country songs, the man also brought with him some priceless stories of his run- ins with music legends. Old-time country fans missed a rare gem in the performance and anecdotes of Mike Beck. Beck has been in the country music game for a long time. He recalls the days when one could pack a guitar to the Bakersfield, California, VFW Hall on a Sunday and join the likes of Merle Haggard or Buck Owens. For being of...
