  • Dogs ends season at Jordan

    Updated Oct 25, 2018

    CCHS Bulldog football finished their season on Friday night in Jordan. The Dogs played a great first half on defense, holding the Mustangs to 8 points. They weren’t blocking well on offense, though, and had trouble moving the ball. They didn’t score in the first half. With some halftime adjustments, the Bulldogs did move the ball some coming out of the break. But, after scoring to cap a long drive, they allowed the ensuing kickoff to be returned for a touchdown. After a later Bulldog score, Jordan ran back an onside kick att...

  • Election 2018 – Public Service Commission Districts 1 and 5

    Alina Sturgess, Community News Service UM School of Journalism|Updated Oct 25, 2018

    Voters across huge chunks of north and northeast Montana will fill two seats on the body that sets rates for regulated utilities, including NorthWestern Energy, which serves nearly two-thirds of the state's homes. Republicans have held all five of the Public Service Commission's seats since 2012 and hope to keep it that way, but two Democrats are aiming to change that. In District 1, which covers Montana from Toole County east to the North Dakota line and includes Great...

  • Letter to the editor

    Davie Ann Barrere|Updated Oct 25, 2018

    What is a Christian? Someone who has opened their heart to Jesus Christ and has accepted Him as their Lord and Savior. Are Christians perfect? No, only one man was perfect and led a sinless life, Jesus Christ. In today's society there seems to be a common misconception that Christians are perfect-that they never do anything wrong-that they never sin. This is not true! We are still just human beings just like everyone else. We struggle with the same issues that everyone struggles with: gossip, drugs, pornography, lying,...

  • Bright Ideas

    I have not submitted articles to The Ekalaka Eagle for a couple of weeks. What’s that old saying? “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” That’s my excuse. I just had nothing to say. Last week was our first use of the Carter Charter. Brice had checked it out to see that the wheelchair could load easily. And it did. In addition, the driver helped guide and secure the wheelchair in the van. We traveled to Miles City for my 12:30 p.m. appointment. The visit took 45 minutes, then we picked up two Subway sand...

  • Hat Tips

    Dean Meyer|Updated Oct 25, 2018

    Hello, Last week I told you about a few of the bucking horses and how many of them were given their names. I had a lot of comments, well two, from readers. One from my daughter and one from my current wife, Shirley. So with that kind of response I’d like to visit with you about a couple others. Oh, and by the way, if you are calling to buy my donkey or my mules, you are too late. They are gone. No, they didn’t run away. Shirley and her sister, Rose, delivered them to Montana over the weekend. All I had to do was spread the...

  • Family life and NRCS

    Heidi Morton|Updated Oct 25, 2018

    This story was written by Heidi Morton, the daughter of Wayne and Deb Yost and a 2000 graduate of Carter County High School. The article was originally published in WiNNING Perspectives, Vol. 10 Issue 1, a magazine created by the National Organization of Professional Women in Natural Resources Conservation Service. I grew up in one of those little "fly over towns." My dad was a District Conservationist in Ekalaka, Montana, which is part of the Carter County Conservation...

  • Election 2018 – Initiative 186

    Marti Liechty, Community News Service UM School of Journalism|Updated Oct 25, 2018

    The controversy over ballot Initiative 186 seems to be about two competing visions for Montana's future economy, and water quality underlies them both. The ballot measure, if passed, would amend the state's 1971 Metal Mine Reclamation Act to provide for an additional $115,000 to $118,000 in annual revenue for Montana's Department of Environmental Quality. The money would be used to analyze pollution cleanup plans in new mining permits. The initiative supported by the Yes for...

  • Carter County 4-H members visit Dahl Memorial residents

    Updated Oct 25, 2018

    Carter County 4-H members took some time to share their 4-H projects with Dahl Memorial residents on September 29. The experience was great for all that attended. Some of the projects that were shared included: leathercraft, shooting sports, sewing/ knitting, photography, rabbit and robotics. This event was a part of the "Live The Pledge" activities that the Carter County 4-H Council and the MSU Extension Fallon-Carter Counties office had planned to help promote 4-H, and...
