Polson alum takes on UM Western Bulldogs varsity, continues giving back to community
Mila Hawk, a Polson graduate, is kicking off another basketball season with the University of Montana Western, and this time she’s part of the starting lineup. Hawk is a red-shirt junior at UM Western and explained that from the moment she started playing college basketball, she’s been aiming to join a varsity program. Now, as a point guard, she’s earning valuable minutes on the court as her team opens the season with a 3–2 record. “It’s really fun and really cool to see all the work I put in pay off,” Hawk said. “I’m still battling to keep it; the job's not over, but it’s nice to be given an opportunity to play every game.” She began her college career at Carroll College on the junior varsity squad before former UM Western Coach Britt Cooper recruited her.

More than a ride: Horse assisted therapy helps patients
Off Baypoint Road in Polson stands a large horse farm, with equines greeting every car that drives down the gravel entrance road. Inside the barn sit saddles and helmets that are accompanied by toy bowling pins, Velcro balls and miniature bean bags. Here, horses Koda and Trixie anxiously await their patients for the day. Hobby Horse Place is a therapy center utilizing horses for horse-assisted therapy. Offering physical and occupational treatment, staff incorporate the horse's movement with the patient to help with therapy goals such as regulation, core strengthening, body awareness, balance and improved gross motor function. Debbie McGuinness, a registered physical therapist, opened Hobby Horse Place two years ago with the help of Wendy King, a certified occupational therapist assistant. Joining them is Shannon Harris, a master of occupational therapy, who has a background in working with horses and a therapy career with kids. “We both are therapists, we both work with horses, and we knew the benefits that this could offer for kids,” McGuiness said.
