The Ekalaka junior high football team played against Savage last Friday in Ekalaka. The Pups won the contest....
Roberta Huether spotted this praying mantis in her day lilies on Saturday evening. There are about 1,800 species of praying mantids around the world. The insect is a carnivore, eating mainly other insects and even small animals. Many gardeners welcome mantids because they eat crop harming pests. The insect gets its name because it has very long front legs that it holds in a position that reminds people of praying. Hopefully this little guy was praying for r...

Labor Day 1986 was not a long weekend for Brice or me. We rationalized that by saying, Agnes Quam, our employee, was Labor, and Brice and I were Management. With no mail, there was no news except what came in on Saturday. We worked on other things. The year 1987 found us at home, with our daughter, enjoying an extra day off! People who labor in factories deserve a three day weekend. Do people involved in telephone solicitation, or Internet solicitation get an extra day off? I doubt it, especially if they’re in India, or s...
Hello, The Dakotas are a good place to live. Oh, we may have a drought. We may have to fight ice and snow for a few months of the year. The wind may blow from the northwest for days at a time. We do get an occasional flood along the Red, the Mouse, Heart, or Beaver Creek. But when we have a flood, most of the time we pile up some sand bags, or maybe have to evacuate a relatively small number of people, let the water recede, then move back in and clean up. Minot, Grand Forks, and Fargo have been hit hardest, but the end is...
Last Friday night at Rowely Field, CCHS football took on Savage. The Bulldogs played a strong game on the defensive side of the ball, holding Savage to 13 points in the first half. In the second quarter, freshman quarterback Jared Pardee threw a 22 yard touchdown pass to sophomore Max Larson. The Dawgs were down 13-6 at halftime. Although junior Caleb Fix was able to squeeze off a few five yard gains, the biggest problem for CCHS in this game was consistently moving the ball. Savage was held scoreless in the third quarter...

Where did August go? I’m sorry, August got away from me, and I didn’t get an article in the paper. However, now you will be fortunate enough to read two articles from me this month! The kids are back in school, and with the start of school comes school sports! I’m so excited, because my daughter is in the 5th grade this year, and starts volleyball. So, I’ve got my car fueled up and my running shoes on to keep up with her! However, along with school sports, inevitably also come concussions. You may have heard in the past th...
