The hardest thing about being a weekly humor/recipe columnist for coming up on 29 years is getting my facts straight--especially when many of the facts are made up on the spot. I write what my family calls creative non-fiction. Some choose to call it downright rubbish. Generally that creativity does not get me into trouble with anyone except immediate family members who only tolerate me for food service and maid service anyway, but I manage to get into trouble in many other...
Hello God, it's me, Mara: You know, Lord, sometimes one comes across some very interesting reading. Author unknown, but mentioned that Craig and Lizzy had a regular 'Joke Night' with their four school-age children. Each child brought several jokes they'd read or heard (or made up themselves!) during the week to tell at the dinner table. This tradition created joyful memories of fun shared around the table. Craig and Lizzy noticed that laughter was healthy for their children,...

I haven’t written anything for the Eagle for a long time. I am full of stories but most of them are to short to make a good story. And as I am getting older it is harder for me to write and to remember things. Anyway today I want to tell you of my memories in general of the whole area. I was really not there very long but it is powerful in my mind. As I remember, the population of Ekalaka when we were there was 902 and the population of the whole county was around 3,300. I understand that Ekalaka is now less than 400 and t...
Dear Editor and Fellow Constituents, The United States Congress needs HELP!! The $95 billion foreign aid bill passed by the US House this past week proves: why we need strong, honest, conservative leadership willing to fight the battle for the soul of the Republican Party.

Latest bill: $61 billion to Ukraine; $26 billion Israel which includes $9 billion humanitarian assistance in Gaza; $8 billion to regional partners Indo-Pacific including Taiwan; and TO the US SOUTHERN B...
April 29, 2024 Capitol and Tie Creek were forecast to have 100 percent chance of rain on one day this week, but suddenly that was changed to 20 percent, and in reality I believe there wasn’t even one drop that day. Then the middle of the country got some mean tornadoes, that they could have done without. On Sunday, we woke to a ground fog, but that didn’t seem to wet the ground either. Diane Wear came from Ekalaka to Ronda Cordell’s, on Monday. She checked through the cow/calf pairs, to see if there were any issues with...

Although former Harding County Rancher wrestler Bryce Padden was a successful wrestler himself, his greatest impact on the sport has been through the lives he touched as a coach. A South Dakota High School runner-up, he wrestled across the country competing in amateur wrestling tournaments and was part of the US team that wrestled the Germans at Buffalo High School in 1985. Padden was not only influential in the wrestling careers of his own boys, he was a dedicated coach for...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, some of us were chatting about our life when we were kids. One friend shared that when she was about 4 years old, her mom’s friend stopped by to visit. She said, “Even at my young age, I was chatty. That is, until Mom’s friend turned to me and said, ‘You have diarrhea of the mouth.’ “She might have said it with a smile on her face, as I don’t think she really meant to insult me, but her words felt like a gut punch – even way back then. I thought to myself, ‘I guess grow-ups want me to...
