COLUMBIA FALLS — Sunday, July 9, 2017 is a day Lane Sapa, his family, friends and many in the community of Columbia Falls will remember for the rest of their lives. It was that afternoon a seemingly harmless activity became a life-and-death situation, one that required multiple scenarios to come together at the exact right time to save Lane’s life.
