Editor's note: For the last month and a half, Eagle readers have been sending in their picks for the top five greatest Carter County athletes of all time. Over the next few weeks, the Eagle will be revealing a top ten list. Following are the top three athletes, based on the opinions of our readers. 1) Robert "Bob" Lasater: Lasater grew up in the Tie Creek area and graduated from CCHS in 1954. He was a standout four sport athlete at CCHS and excelled in football, basketball...
Eight Bulldog players scored on senior night as CCHS defeated Terry by 25 points last Friday in Ekalaka. Turner Tooke hit a pair of threes in the early going that helped spring the Dogs to a 7 point first quarter lead that they increased as the game progressed. CCHS had 15 turnovers in the contest compared to 19 for the Terriers. As a team, they shot 10-14 (71 percent) on free throws. Three Bulldogs finished the game in double figures, led by Jared Pardee with 16 points, 6 of...
On Valentine's Day 2020, the CCHS Lady Bulldogs improved their record to 11-6 on the season with a win over the Terry Terriers. The game seemed a fitting home finale for a senior class that has seen a great deal of success during their time at CCHS. The Dogs were up 37-6 at halftime and went on to win 63-8. They totaled 21 rebounds, 16 assists and 18 steals. Blue finished the game with only 8 turnovers; Terry had 30. The Dogs went 21-35 on two-pointers and made 5 of 15...
Dear People of the Great State of Montana, Hello! I am a third-grade student in Northern Virginia. Our class is learning about the United States, and I will be teaching our school about the state of Montana. In the month of May, I will create a display for our State Fair that I hope will make you proud. Although I have gathered facts about your state from books and websites, I think that I can receive the best information from the people who live there. This is why I am writing to you. I am hoping that you would be willing to...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, dear Lord, the snow falls fast, Winter is on our mind. Icicles guard, the wind does moan, a warm place the birds can’t find. Sparkle of frost on windowsill recaps our childhood ‘view’; we’d ‘scratch’ frost off to take a peek – we saw a calf, brand new! Sometimes the sky is low and mean, snowflakes might cause a yawn; across the barn or through a rut, debates if it goes on. We’ve all been there, we’ve heard the noise, we know how Winter smells. We’ve seen the ‘look’ and felt the c...
The January 3rd issue of the Eagle had an article about the Montana Greats Project which was recently published in the Billings Gazette. This article invited Ekalaka people to give their opinions on the greatest athletes from Carter County. I contend that this would be very difficult to do correctly because of the different sports and the time differences, I was in Carter County High School from 1952 to 1956. If I had to pick the best five athletes of my era, I would pick, Bob Lasater, Tom McCamish, Buddy Morrison, Milton...
A heart attack is serious business, and time is of the essence. If you think you or someone you know is having symptoms of a heart attack, call 9-1-1 and seek help immediately! The most talked-about symptom of a heart attack is chest pain. On TV, chest pain is often portrayed as an excruciating, crushing pain in the center or left-of-center of the chest. However, chest pain may feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, pain, or may even feel like heartburn or indigestion, and the pain may come and go. But many people who...

Dear Editor, Beef born, bred, fed and processed in the US is considered the best in the world. Married to a Rosebud County rancher for the past 40 years, I know we take pride in raising a first class fine and healthy herd of cow/calf pairs. You can taste the difference between beef raised and butchered right here in America (especially Montana!) from meat processed and shipped from 3000-plus miles away coming from foreign countries--who knows where and what kind of safety standards are in place. As cattle producers you would...
Several years ago, we decided that ranching for fun and not profit was not really working for us, so we decided to lop off a few acres with a view up the creek and down the Yellowstone and make money the old fashioned way--selling the rural lifestyle to folks determined to get out of town and return to their agrarian roots. Believe me, providing that opportunity is easier said than done! In the first year, we spent the $500.00 we had in our life savings account and a whole lot of the bank's money on surveying, consultant...
