  • Conversations with God

    Updated Feb 10, 2022

Valentine’s Day might be printed in red on some calendars, but there are dozens of names that may fill out the rest of the dates on many friends’ calendars. Chuckle along with me, Lord, as we look around, ‘seeing’ love being expressed almost anywhere. In Church, a young couple stood close together, having their arm around their spouse’s waist. That was special to see — but they were not the only ones doing that. Then, a little girl was hugging her D...

  • Cooking in the West

    Susan Metcalf|Updated Feb 10, 2022

    One of the few good things about winter on the ranch is that you can wear coveralls. They are called “coveralls’’ because they hide a multitude of sins like Christmas cookies, fudge, eggnog, and winter comfort foods. You can wear your sweatpants under your coveralls and believe that you are hiding those winter pounds until the day of reckoning comes. When you see a robin and you can smell spring in the air, you realize it is time to struggle into your jeans, because you would look just plain ridiculous running around in co...

  • Letter to the editor

    Updated Feb 10, 2022

    I certainly enjoyed watching the Lady Bulldogs play basketball with the Lady Longhorns from Wibaux last week. I was particularly impressed with the actions of the player, Codi Melton. If she was in close proximity to ANY player who ended up on the floor, she helped them get up. It did not matter if they were from Ekalaka or Wibaux. Codi exhibited compassion and sportsmanship that is admirable. —Marlene Waterland...
