“All creatures, including me, get grouchy as summer turns into fall. Perhaps it is because we know winter is coming. The yellow jackets, hornets, and even honey bees become aggressive. And then there are the rodents that seem to want to move in before winter. I despise mice and rattlesnakes; however, there is no creature on earth more irritating and detestable than a packrat. I believe it is because they mark everything, so they ooze as they move, and they build a huge nest called a midden, wherein you might find e...

Aug. 27, 2023 I just returned from the Days of ‘85 Rodeo and I watched the movie “Feek’s Vision.” This was an exciting day and brought my mind back to another even more exciting day!! Our country school hadn’t started and my dad said that I could go with him to the Tooke Ranch for the day. Feek Tooke asked my dad to buck out some horses for him. My dad was an outstanding bronc rider in the 1930s! (See the Ekalaka Eagles of August and September of 1933.) So at the Tooke’s rodeo grounds he bucked out eighteen horses that day. T...

The heat headed back to Capitol and Tie Creek, this week, and the mosquitoes are still hanging around. The grasshoppers diminished, but had already done much damage. Maybe the mosquitoes drove some of them off. On various days, the air was filled with smoke from the Canadian fires, and the temperatures stayed mostly in the high eighties. Curt Zolnoski came to visit Clint and Denise Zolnoski’s, on Tuesday evening, to stay to help ultrasound yearling heifers on Wednesday. Curt, Clint, Gene Secrest and Ronda Cordell headed to t...

Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know Lord, it was interesting to read what Ms. Kathy K. was sharing about the word, ‘YET’; she wrote: ‘Near the end of this month, I will turn sixty, and, though the number seems big, I know that, in the rearview mirror, it will shrink, as did fifty, forty, thirty, twenty-one, and sixteen. At each milestone, I looked forward, imagining my future life. Now I can say without hesitation: almost nothing turned out as I expected. “I can also say that I have lost my faith that things would be the wa...

It's hard to tell by looking at local Ches Meyer that he had brain surgery only one month ago. It's almost unbelievable when speaking to him. His positive attitude is simply incredible. "I just want to say thank you to the community of Ekalaka," he told the Eagle on Wednesday morning. "They have sure been good to me through this whole deal. It's very humbling. I'm used to being on the other end of a benefit. It's a lot tougher being on this end." It really started about 2.5...
