Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, chatting with friends can be rather interesting. ‘J. E’. shared about her dad’s horses, mentioning that they, among other animals, are herd animals. One horse they had was a jumper and another horse was a fence crawler; no fence could stop either of those rascals – so her dad chained them together, hoping that would help. Then there was a bit of commotion, a quick glance out the window suggested trouble! Checking it out, the’ crawler’ had succeeded in getting under the fence but the...
This is the time of year when cattle producers are busy marketing their cattle. Although technology has opened up many more options for marketing cattle such as internet live auctions, internet static auctions, drone film, etc., it is kind of tragic that the days of showing the cattle buyer around the ranch are pretty much bygone. I wrote this poem years back when the day the buyer came to see the calves was a big event on the ranch, but it was inspired by Roundup, Montana veterinarian, Dr. Loren Appell who always prescribed...
For some unknown reason while thinking about a memory article, the McCord family kept coming to mind. Their family lived close to our family on the south side of Ekalaka during my grade and high school years. I would like to go back many years and share some memories of some of that family. To do this, I am going to take the article written by their daughter, Ruth, in “Shifting Scenes Vol. III,” pages 136-137. I have some memories of my connection with two or three family members and will share later as the “Shifting Scene...
From a young age, Ekalaka native Clinton Lesh witnessed how the hands of a man through agriculture could shape the often inhospitable elements of the Montana landscape. He has since adapted the tools and materials once used to build a barb-wire fence into a new form. Lesh is an artist, a creator, a storyteller: a metal sculptor. He works primarily with steel, fire, acid and a vast array of tools. Currently a large piece of Lesh's artwork is on display at a newly renovated...
Charles Cook and his wife, Gail, moved to Ekalaka on August 1st. He started to learn about Ekalaka, though, shortly after Highway 323 became fully paved. Cook was working in administration at Poplar at the time, and started driving the newly finished highway on trips from Poplar to Belle Fourche, SD where he grew up. "We purchased a home to renovate in Ekalaka in July for retirement," he told the Eagle on Wednesday. Cook said the couple considered moving to many other small...
Ekalaka Public Schools Principal Brian Purnell has been working in education since 2006. Purnell grew up in the cattle ranching town of John Day, Oregon, a town similar in size to Baker. He finished high school in 2001 and then attended Corbin University in Salem, Oregon, graduating with an elementary education degree in 2006. He told the Eagle on Wednesday that he played baseball for four years at Corbin, and that it helped pay for his schooling. Purnell is a big time sports...
