  • Conversations with God

    Updated Nov 15, 2018

    Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, a recent devotional suggested that we be bold to intercede, asking on somebody’s behalf, for answer to their special needs and prayers, based not on our worthiness, but only on You, Lord. Residents in the ‘Pear Tree’ subdivision were accustomed to the sight of their neighbor, ‘Mr. Bartholomew,’ taking his daily walk. They didn’t know that he was not walking for his health, he walked for others. As he walked by each house, he prayed for the family who lived within. The nurses in a M...

  • Letter to the editor

    multiple authors|Updated Nov 15, 2018

    To the citizens of Ekalaka, As members of the Town Council, we would like to keep the public informed of the status regarding Mormon Avenue. We realize that the condition of Mormon continues to be a concern. We have explored several options in how to repair the road so that it remains cost effective, but no final solutions have been reached. This is due to, but not limited to, money, our remote location, lack of accessible resources, man power and road equipment. At the November 7 meeting, a motion was made to have the...

  • Bright Ideas

    Lois Lambert|Updated Nov 15, 2018

    Everything has a life expectancy, from vegetation to animals, humans included, to mechanical devices. Two of our electrical appliances reached the end of their lives. The first was our dishwasher. It died last fall, and our daughter told us to replace it before Thanksgiving. We did; we just never had it installed. It sat in our shop and Brice washed dishes every morning; in a little over an hour everything was sparkling. If we host a holiday meal, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, or Easter, our daughter and her hu...

  • Hat Tips

    Dean Meyer|Updated Nov 15, 2018

    Hello, A few days ago we celebrated Veterans Day, to honor those who served. It signified a war that ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. I hope you gave our veterans a little of your time on that sacred day. Whether it be with a prayer, a silent salute, a phone call, or maybe just a moment of silence. Veterans Day is about more than buying a mattress on sale. That is really dumb. My column is going to be just a little different this week. I guess maybe it is the time of the year. But, with Thanksgiving...

  • Grizzly Bears delisted, relisted

    Ryan OConnell, Montana Kaimin|Updated Nov 15, 2018

    Grizzly bears were put back under protection by the Endangered Species Act by a U.S. District Court order Sept. 24. The ruling only affected grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which spans through Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Planned grizzly hunts on state lands in Wyoming and Idaho were canceled. In July 2017, the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee, which is made of representatives from different government agencies to ensure the success of grizzly bear populations, recommended to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife...
