Those looking for a treat in Sanders County, can look no further than the little Thompson Falls candy shop, Candy Ma'am Candies. For the last 25 years, Marilyn O'Neill has been creating a variety of sweets for locals and recently, those who order online. Originally from eastern Montana, O'Neill worked at several grocery stores before moving to Thompson Falls in 1995 to help work at her niece's candy shop. After almost four years, O'Neill bought the shop and started running it herself. She says t...
Most people start to collect old medications, unfinished or expired. These drugs collect at the back of medicine cabinets cluttering it up; however, many people may not know about the drug takeback day to rid oneself of those pesky pills. On October 24, the local sheriff’s office will be participating in a nation-wide drug takeback day. The event will allow locals to drop off those extra medicines to be disposed of, for free. The event will occur between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Any drop offs are anonymous and there will be no questions asked. The e...
With time to lick their wounds and redirect their focus before playing again, coach Bart Haflich and his Noxon Red Devils now await their final playoff fate. The No. 3 seed from the 6-Man Western Division, the Devils completed regular season play with a 48-28 loss to Hot Springs in the Spa City Thursday. The Devils played well at times in that game, but most of those times were in the second half, when they staged a gallant comeback after falling behind 28-0 by halftime. The most damaging...
HOT SPRINGS – It was a tale of two games played in two cities in the space of less than two days and, in the end, maybe it was just a little too much to do. The No. 2 Hot Springs Savage Heat defeated the Noxon Red Devils 48-28 in Hot Springs Thursday night under the lights and then went to White Sulphur Springs, where they lost to the host Hornets, the No. 6 rated 6-Man team in Montana, 53-15 Saturday afternoon. The one-win, one-loss weekend leaves the suddenly battle-weary Heat with a 3-1 r...
Refuse to lose, survive the battle and emerge victorious. Refusing to go down when faced with a pride of fired-up Lady Lions from Eureka in Thompson Falls Saturday, the resilient Lady Hawks battled back from two sets down to win 22-25, 24-26, 26-24, 25-23, 15-11. Solidifying their grasp on the top spot in District 7B conference play with the win, coach Sandra Kazmierczak and her Lady Hawks will finish the regular season out with league matches, starting at Mission Thursday and continuing at Bigf...
PLAINS – The Horsemen moved the ball well, but offensive misfires cost them those potential hard-earned points in a 52-6 loss to Mission in Plains Saturday. Now 2-3 in Western Conference 8-Man football play, coach Eddie Fultz and his Horsemen will play the 3-2 Clark Fork Mountain Cats in Superior Saturday at 1 p.m. Fultz said Monday that the Horsemen’s already thin, young lineup will be stretched even farther this week as three players will be out due to COVID-19 contract tracing protocol, mea...
by John Hamilton No October surprise from the Troy Trojans this year. Always on the lookout for the unexpected when they travel to Troy, the Thompson Falls Blue Hawks took no chances with the Trojans this time, repeatedly scoring at will on the Lincoln County boys on the way to a lopsided 75-0 win in Troy Friday. Now 7-0 with five shutout wins, the Hawks will host Charlo, one of the teams still in the hunt for a Western Conference 8-Man playoff berth, Thursday at 7 p.m. Originally set for Friday, the game was moved to Thursday due to a...

So, here’s the question: How much power should local governments have to regulate firearms or prevent their possession by felons, minors, undocumented immigrants or people judged mentally incompetent? Not much, according to backers of Legislative Referendum 130, the ballot measure sent to voters by Montana lawmakers last session. Specifically, Legislative Referendum 130 asks voters to remove local governments’ power to regulate the carrying of concealed firearms – or to restrict the open carry of firearms – except in public buildings within a g...
It's the last week of archery season in Montana and a young buck near Swamp Creek is lying low in the tall grass to avoid human detection. Keeping still is one of a deer's defenses. When that doesn't work, the flag goes up and he dashes off....
