Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, recently a friend shared how her grandkids helped her discover that she was making no effort at all to express joy and happy feelings when she spoke to them, or even to the rest of her family. She shared that one little granddaughter was so excited when she knew that her Grandma had made them some lemonade to have for lunch. She said that she noticed ‘Mary’ was breathless and so excited, that it even took her breath away! And another day, how happy her grandson was when Grandpa had fo...

3-3-23 After a short morning floor session and 71 3rd reading bills, we adjourned the 45th legislative day and began transmittal break. First fun thing about this break is to knock out a short report then go take the Grandkids to the Flying Giant trampoline park before heading home tomorrow morning. I’m not going to attempt to cover all the issues covered this week but rather focus on three bills that hit close to home in HD37. First HB 569 dealing with sheriffs, highway patro...
The Gumbo Gophers 4-H Club had a fun winter. We had a meeting in December at Alzada. We played a white elephant gift exchange game after our meeting, then we filled gift baskets and went caroling. All those involved had a good time. Grace brought wreath ornament kits for members to make. We discussed a ski trip. In January we had a meeting in Alzada. Suri Johnston gave a presentation on her wildlife diorama and Elizabeth Hall gave a presentation about her art project. We had an activity to learn how to tell the age of a...
There are, to date, six main reasons why Troy and Mikel Fruit have decided to sell the business they have built together for nearly forty years. In October, 1984 Fruits first started their business in Ekalaka with the purchase of the T & R Standard Station on Main Street. Troy was 20 years old; Mikel was 21. They purchased the business from Tom Carroll and Randy Smith. The couple ran the business by themselves until 1992 when they hired their first employee, Lance Barrere....
We just celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday, so it is time for what has become my annual tradition—my Dr. Seuss Whoville poem. Probably every generation feels that the overall moral and ethical state of the world is declining at breakneck speed, but we have two choices. We can either sit and wring our hands, or we can speak out against and fight it! The Whoville State of the Union: The Whos down in Whoville are led by Joe, A man who is senile, incompetent, and slow. Yet Joe has great vision for the masses. Looking through his...
Five-for-six. The CCHS Lady Bulldogs have now made it to the Montana Class C State Girls' Basketball Tournament five times in the last six years. That's a pretty impressive stat by almost any standard. Last year it took a Monday challenge game and eventual six-point win for the Lady 'Dogs to get to the state tournament. It was a game versus rival Jordan in which CCHS essentially won at the free throw line. This year, CCHS didn't need the challenge game to get there. The Lady...
It hasn't even been two weeks since nearly two-year-old Eben Whitney was severely burned in an accident at his home in Ekalaka. Now, according to his parents Casey and Seth, he is healing nicely and will be headed home with his family on Thursday. "Eli and I are headed to Billings today," Seth told the Eagle on Wednesday morning. "We fly to Salt Lake tonight and we'll all be headed back home tomorrow." The incident occurred on February 25th when Eben managed to knock a...
Dear Editor, With Montana being #3 in the the union with deaths by Suicide. And the fact that Farmers and Ranchers are 2 to 1 more likely to commit suicide than other professions. It’s a subject that needs to be addressed. We certainly don’t want to be anywhere in the top 10 even let alone 3rd. Our neighboring states of Wyoming at #1 and South Dakota #7 in Suicide rates makes this an even scarier fact. Also with it being calving and lambing season and Agriculture in general being a highly dangerous occupation, we need to do...
