Some of you know me as the pastor of the Bible Church, some of you know me as the guy with curly blonde hair that you see at ball games and around town, some of you may know me for my two very outgoing children who love to stop and talk to everyone they meet. It has been my family's privilege to call Ekalaka our home for the last 4 and a half years. We have enjoyed getting to know many of you and have enjoyed many opportunity to serve the people of Ekalaka and Carter County. This November I ask that you would entrust to me...
Every time I read a Baxter Black poem, I am inspired to become a cowboy poet, but "The Cremation of Sam McGee" by Robert Service is my favorite inspirational poem. It was his signature poem that launched his career. He got the idea from a story he heard while attending a party. He left the party, walked around in the woods all night composing the poem in his mind, and then sat down to pen it the next day. This poem is no "Sam McGee", and I am no Baxter Black, but when my favorite packers at the K Lazy Three told me this...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, living near cattle ranches, one’s noticed how some cows are prone to wander while grazing. A cow just keeps on moving, always looking for the “greener grasses”. Near the edge of the property, the cow might discover some cool fresh grass under a shade tree.

It has slowly “nibbled” its way into being lost. Cows aren...

The Bulldogs traveled to Forsyth last Friday night and got a much needed win over the 1-5 Dogies. The Bulldogs led for most of the game. Most of Forsyth's scoring came on large chunk plays, both on the ground and through the air. The Dogs, though, were able to rip off a few big scoring plays of their own. In addition, they put together a few long, scoring drives in which they chewed up a lot of clock by working the ground game. A pivotal point in the game came for the...

My name is Linda (Van Ransler) Robustelli. I was born and raised in Ekalaka, graduating from Carter County High School in 1967.

He did a very nice, meaningful service. I would also like...
