There will be softball in Thompson Falls once more. After a season without Lady Hawk high school softball last spring due to low turnout numbers, new coach Jared Koskela has a plan to get girls playing softball and, ironically enough, that plan involves the Thompson Falls track and field team. “We are letting the girls participate in both sports this spring,” Koskela said, “and that will allow us to have a softball program again. We have 13 girls out and six of them have signed up for both sports. Hopefully this will allow us to rebuild the p...
So close to making it to the State B-C tournament last spring, the Plains-Hot Springs Trotters will be looking to make that next big step this season. Still coached by Michele Bangen, who was known as Michele Hunter last year, the Trotters were only a few outs away from earning their way to State at the divisional tournament last spring, leading Missoula Loyola 11-9 in the bottom of the seventh inning, but the Breakers came back to tie the game at 11-11 in that inning and eventually win 12-11 in extra innings, denying the Trotters their trip...

THE NEW MODE OF SHOPPING BAGS…NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S BURLAP! Trends often come and go, but I see this one as continuing to evolve into a real gem. WHY NOT USE PLASTIC BAGS? There is no reason to use throw-away plastic bags at the grocery store. They’re made from petroleum oil, (it takes 12 million barrels of oil to produce the estimated 100 billion plastic bags Americans use each year), and they harm our environment. It is estimated that 1 million birds and thousands of turtles and other sea animals die each year after ingesting disca...
