Emswiler Pool sits empty and unused on Wednesday. Originally scheduled to open on June 7th, the swimming pool will not be opening this year.

Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, a friend mentioned some interesting dates throughout the WHOLE calendar, but she really liked those in June; the one that gave her a chuckle was the 9th, Donald Duck Day, his first appearance was in 1934. She also loves Iced Tea and there was a DAY for that also – the 10th! She thought National Loving Day, the 12th, was really special, too as well as it was also Peanut Butter Cookie Day. Flag Day is the 14th, National Fudge Day is the 16th, her Daddy really likes the 17th as it is...

You’ve probably already heard, the theme for the Carter County Fair this year is “Hometown Heroes’”. At first glance I thought it was going to be a tough one to work around. But, no! Think about all the people it takes to make a community flourish…volunteer firemen, linemen, law officers, beauticians, farmers, ranchers, cowboys, local businessmen, lawyers, doctors, veterinarians, teachers, nurses and veterans to name just a few. For a number of years the Marshall Ranch has sponsored the Pet Parade at the fair with some very...

On April 23, 2021, I wrote a letter to the editor regarding the Town Benches. Since then I received phone calls from two ladies who are willing to help me paint benches. I also received a phone call from a lady who wishes to pay for the cost of the supplies going forward. She fondly remembers sitting on Main St. benches with her grandparents. She no longer lives in Carter Co., but wants to help with efforts in keeping benches on Main St of Ekalaka. I also received numerous words of thanks for the work done the past ten years...

Happy Spring to all! It has been some beautiful weather, but would be nice to see some more moisture. Just thought it was time to share some notes from the Mayor and a few reminders. It is spring and moving into summer. Please show your pride in the community and keep your lawns mowed and trimmed. Keep sidewalks clean. If you have an elderly neighbor, or a vacant property next to you, think about paying it forward and pitch in. Ekalaka has good people, so I have no doubt you...

"Have you lost your mind?" Millie Woolley asked. "Yes, I thought you were smarter than that!" added Shelly Carroccia, as we stood outside the papered over storefront windows of the boutique my daughter Brooke and I are starting on McLeod Street in Big Timber. Of course, these women whom I greatly respect and admire, know what they are talking about regarding running a business and working really hard past retirement age, so I decided to completely disregard their warnings. Afterall, what could go wrong with our business plan...
