A special Ekalaka Public Schools Unified Board of Trustees meeting was held on Monday night. The meeting took place inside the CCHS Tuggle Room in order to accommodate seating for the large number of guests in attendance. The meeting consisted of a teacher termination hearing concerning the superintendent's recommendation to terminate the employment of tenured Ag teacher Seth Whitney. Whitney has been teaching at CCHS since 2012. Superintendent Charles Cook recommended that...
A referee mix-up (or possible shortage) led to an interesting situation during the varsity football contest between CCHS and Lodge Grass on September 8th in Lodge Grass. Only one MHSA official made it to the game, so two individuals were pulled from the Indians' sideline and two were pulled from the Bulldogs' sideline. This ensured that all of the officials for the contest had proper training on concussions and CPR. CCHS assistant coach Eric Lovec, left, stood in as the back...

Gracie Johnson didn't want to be a pilot. At least, not when she first walked into her eighth-grade science class at Billings' Ben Steele Middle School. Her teacher, Patrick Kenney, quickly tapped her for a student project building an experimental aircraft at a private hangar, and while she found that work interesting, Johnson initially resisted Kenney's encouragement to step into a cockpit for a test flight. Eventually she agreed. "It just spiraled from there," Johnson told...
September 11, 2023 Things cooled off at Capitol and Tie Creek this week. On Sunday, Karen Odell’s furnace came on, so it must be getting close to autumn. Dick and Erma Albert had dental appointments in Belle Fourche, on Tuesday, so they did some shopping while they were there. On Thursday, Erma had a physical therapy appointment in Buffalo. They went to pick up Delores Sperle, on Friday, and all of them went to the Senior Citizen Dinner at the Senior Center. The pork and mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious. Erma and D...

Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know Lord, sometimes unusual things happen when groups of gals get together. While enjoying tea on the patio, Lesha spoke up: ‘You know – a friend called, said Missy had lost her baby, not even one hour old. What a shock! I said: ‘Isn’t it great! Abigail returns to her heavenly home to her relatives until her mom and dad join her!’ I don’t know how THAT went over – but that’s what popped out of my mouth. Then Sal spoke up: “Reminds me of when I cleaned at a Care Center. One old guy wanted me t...
Many readers commiserated with me in my pack rat war that I recently recounted, but to be honest, the pack rat war was not the most fierce battle I ever fought as a camp cook. Now, hunting camp cooking is ordinarily a delightful experience!In fact, this week is the opening of the early season rifle, and I am homesick for the smell of wood smoke and kerosene lanterns and the bugle of bull elk. Hunting camp is a fine and pleasant misery where I get up at 3 a.m., try not to singe my bangs lighting the kerosene lamps, fire up...
