The CCHS Lady Bulldogs had no problem taking down the Jordan Mustangs last Friday in Ekalaka. The girls had a 15 point lead by the end of the first quarter. The lead was 22 by the end of the game, and provided an opportunity for some reserves to play key minutes that could become valuable at tournament time. Perhaps the most impressive stat for the game was that the Bulldogs shot 88% on free throw attempts. Three players shot a perfect percentage. CCHS also shot an impressive...

I've been pleasantly surprised with the enthusiastic feedback the museum has received after posting February taxidermy workshops. Since I moved to Ekalaka last March, many of you have come to me with questions about preserving your own specimens. While I'm always happy to meet with you for one-on-one help, we decided that it would be fun for the museum to host some workshops in which we can socialize, share knowledge and ideas, and just have a generally good time working on...
Hello, I’ve a good friend who has lots of stories. They are stories about cows, cowboys, and old pickup trucks. Remember the Peanuts cartoon when Snoopy is writing a book. It always starts out “It was a dark and stormy night..” My friend’s stories always start out, “We was drinking one time, it might have been Cheyenne. Or it could have been Calgary.” And I’ve decided that cows and cowboying are really good for one thing. They are good for stories. That is because I am working on our taxes. I’ve often said, “Income taxes a...
I took off the month of January to deal with health issues, but they weren’t touched in January! On the scheduled date to aim radiation at the nerve in my right jaw, there was horizontal snow and ice to fight through. The bad roads extended all the way to Billings! We stayed home. My jaw pain made a return attack, but medication seemed the only solution. Now I’m scheduled for next Friday and we are scheduled for Arctic cold. Of course. Early settlers were smart enough to stay tucked inside during the winter, only ven...
I was saddened to read in the Eagle about the passing of Tootie Boggs. My brother Charles had already told me about her when he saw it online in the Miles City Star. Tootie was a real friend and fixture in the lives of all of the Lavell children. !thought about writing this as a letter to the editor but decided to make a story about it instead. Tootie was born in 1933, approximately a year before my oldest sister Dorothy. When we moved to Ekalaka from the country in 1944, the Boggs’ lived right down the road from us. T...
To the editor, In regard to Gov. Bullock's mandate for net neutrality in Montana, I would like to give an example of what net neutrality does. If I were to go to a dealership, to buy a new pickup, and told the salesperson "I want one with A/C, heated seats, and a block heater for cold weather starting." The salesperson replies, "We would have to charge extra for those options and the government won't allow us to charge extra for anything so all we have is the base model." I think the internet has been pretty good from the...

by Sherry Farwell, Ned Summers & Marguerite Goeders Rozelle GENERAL POPULATING AND DEPOPULATING FORCES The homesteading era within the Sykes-Belltower area had six major drivers: 1) The Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909 increased the maximum number of acres for a homestead from 160 to 320 acres in order to attract settlers into more marginal lands. 2) The initial 1885 U.S. Government survey in present day Carter County only established approximate township boundaries. An...
