With our economy reeling from shutdowns, it is suddenly fashionable and necessary to be frugal. I grew up frugal, because my parents were 40 years old when they got around to having me, so they were children during the Great Depression. We rinsed out Saran Wrap, recycled wrapping paper, and repurposed everything. When I went off to college, I felt I was pretty well versed in frugality. However, my roommate was the undisputed Queen of Frugality. I can honestly say I could not have drawn a better roommate than Maureen Johnson...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, some names that new babes are given makes one wonder, how on earth did the parents come up with that name. Did they ever even think to check the meaning of the name? It’s been said that even if unknown, the babe/child will grow into and live up to their name. Our daddy sure lived up to his name; he was ‘STRONG AS AN EAGLE’ and ‘BRAVE’. Mom was the ‘GRACEFUL ONE’. The source of a neighbor’s name is Hebrew and means ‘CHRIST LOVE’. It fit him. Another neighbor’s name meant ‘GRACE AND M...
This letter comes from the need for us to speak the truth about the issues surrounding public health in Carter County and the impact this has on our community. Historically, Dahl Memorial Healthcare Association has been synonymous with public health. The public health nurse has been under the roof of Dahl Memorial for decades and often the job has been taken on by a Dahl Memorial employed nurse contracting with the county to carry out public health duties. But let us be clear; Carter County Public Health is, and has always...
Dear Town of Ekalaka & Residents of Carter County, I was sitting here pondering what to say as we begin 2021. The first word that came to my mind about our community is resilient.

I am so thankful that we have so many in this area who step up to do the hard things. Those at the hospital and nursing home have had to work tirelessly considering the pandemic. They have had to put their...
