Getting that first NC didn’t take long – not long at all. The Plains Horsemen were forced to turn around and go home after getting all the way to Drummond Friday, turning the potential Western Conference 8-Man football game into the season’s first dreaded NC. That NC means No Contest, and we could see more of them yet this season. The Horsemen’s coach Eddie Fultz knew there could be NCs coming this season, he just may not have happened to expect them so soon. The Horsemen were in fact, en route to Philipsburg Friday when the call from the Pla...
The numbers game is something the Hot Springs Savage Heat football team is used to playing. When they have suitable numbers, veteran coaches Jim Lawson and Andrew Leichtnam have proven than they can guide Hot Springs 6-Man teams to great things, like to State championship titles in 2012 and 2016 and to the playoffs (and usually deep into the playoffs) every other year the Heat have been a 6-Man entity. The Brandon Knudsen-led Heat of 2019 were no exception to that formula of success, going unbeaten through much of the season before falling to...
Fresh off one of the best net seasons in school history, coach Alisha Pablo and her retooled Hot Springs Savage Heat are looking forward to another one of the best net seasons in school history. Pablo guided the Savage Heat to new net heights last year as the Heat qualified for a rare Western C berth by winning second-place in the District 14C tournament, and then followed that up with a strong fourth place finish at the Western C tourney. And although All-conference hitter McKennzie Cannon and all-around players Sydney and Sage Jackson have gr...
Football fever in Noxon during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020? You got that right, coach Bart Haflich and his hungry Red Devils are reaching a fever pitch in practice sessions so far. “We are optimistic and excited,” Haflich said. “We are looking forward to the game with Gardiner and seeing how we match up.” Haflich and his Red Devils, who have qualified for the last three straight State 6-Man playoffs, open season play Friday hosting Gardiner. The Devils currently have only four Western Conference games on their schedule as all non-conference g...
The Plains Trotters were set to host the Noxon Lady Red Devils Tuesday in the season-opening match for both teams. Results from that match were not available at press time. In other action this coming week, coach Jessica Butcher’s Trotters will visit St. Regis Thursday and visit Hot Springs next Tuesday. Noxon was set to open season play at Hot Springs Thursday and will play at Clark Fork, Idaho, next Tuesday. Dana Grupenhoff is back as coach of the Lady Red Devils after Teri Wilkinson retired following the last school year. For those unable t...
The feathers should be flying when the Lady Hawks and Falcons mix it up. In one of the premiere matches of the Western B volleyball season, the Florence Falcons will visit Thompson Falls Thursday for early season bragging rights in the division. The perennially powerful Falcons, who won second place in the State B tourney a second straight time last fall, won a road match over Class A Stevensville to open their season last week, proving they have the makings of another good team this fall. After starting the season with a road-trip split – d...
As the mornings start to feel a little colder, they bring a gentle reminder that fall is on its way. Shorter days, heavy sweaters and apple cider. Fall is my favorite. While the chores in summer can keep a person busy from sunup to sundown, fall is no different when it comes to tending to the homestead. The majority of the time, these cooler months are spent harvesting from the garden, chopping firewood, and getting everything and everyone ready for winter. However, the beginning of fall in Montana, does not always allow us to let our guard...
Recycling is the third and key component of the THREE Rs: REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE. REDUCING is really the best way to reduce your overall waste footprint. If you never buy, use or have, then you will not have the waste to manage when done. Americans today average about 4.3 pounds of waste per day and we can all do something to reduce this amount. Buying durable products that will last longer, planning your purchases and cutting back, all support reduction. REUSING can be referenced several ways, but it is all about finding uses for items...

Ed Foste of Joint Operation Mariposa drives stakes into the ground to keep a silhouette of a kneeling soldier from blowing over as the start of a military veteran suicide prevention display on the greenway along Railroad Street in Plains. This is the third year for the nonprofit group to erect the display. This year, Foste, the vice president, is providing a space for people to put items for veterans they know who have committed suicide. Each night, Foste and other volunteers will add American...
