    James Kapptie, Ekalaka Public Schools Superintendent|Updated Aug 15, 2024

    The start of the year is here, and it's got me feeling like a cowboy waitin' for the gate to swing open. Last week, I watched those bronc riders at the fair, hearts pounding, muscles tensed, ready for the ride of their lives. Our staff kickoff on Tuesday was just like that – anticipation, excitement, and a whole lot of teamwork. We've been buckin' ideas around and wranglin' up some commitments tied to our core values. Who we are and where we're headed is as important as a g...

  • Cooking in the West

    Susan Metcalf|Updated Aug 15, 2024

    The 2024 Olympics are wrapped up, which is good, because watching them makes us normal people feel inadequate and unworthy. We like to believe we have achieved some level of greatness, and then we compare ourselves to those amazing athletes and feel substandard. I am reminded of a conversation I had back when the Olympics were in Japan. It went like this: "What are you doing here? I thought you would be in Sochi," my friend Judy Vidack greeted me. "Are you worried about...
