On a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in Circle, the Bulldogs lost a football game to the Wildcats by a final score of 26 to 60. The October 8th contest started swell for Blue as they took the opening kickoff and put together one of their best offensive drives of the season. After taking an early 6-0 lead though, things quickly went awry for the 'Dogs. Following the ensuing kickoff, the Wildcats scored on their first play from scrimmage. It didn't stop there. Circle actually went...
Due to ongoing misuse of State Trust Land associated with recreational shooting – including public safety concerns, shooting debris left on site, and concerns that private property will be further damaged – the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation announced that two new firearm restrictions will be implemented on the affected lands in Gallatin County. Restrictions go into place on November 12 of this year, with an additional seasonal restriction going into place in the spring of 2023. The mix of temporary and yea...

This week I would like to share more on the Ed and Mabel McCord family which I wrote about in the September 30th Eagle. Their daughter, Ruth, shared a full life history of her parents and children. I would like to follow with some memories of personal time spent with two or three of them. The year was 1942, World War II was in progress. I was in the seventh grade and Dale McCord was an eighth grader. At his graduation in the old high school, a couple from Alzada came for the occasion. Things had been worked out and we loaded...

In the last election cycle, Montanans sent – some say unknowingly – a gathering of radical politicians, totally void of Montana principles, to the US Congress and Helena. Now this November, Gary Buchanan, whose values are solid Montana, is on the ballot to represent us in Washington as an Independent. Buchanan is not beholden to any ideology – just what is good for Montana and, in turn, our nation. He remembers the days when Montana voters sent folks to Washington who, though espousing different political views, put diffe...
Recently, I heard a pundit on TV say that Matt Rosendale would win election to Congress in the new eastern Montana district because people here are "conservative." On the whole, I'd say we are, but Matt Rosendale isn't. He's an extreme radical, disguising himself as a conservative. When he voted against Montana veterans, or against honoring the U.S. capitol police for their bravery on January 6, he wasn't expressing the beliefs of Montanans. He was following the most radical people in Congress who have their own agenda. The...
I would like to introduce myself, as I am running for the Carter County Justice of the Peace position, and a well-informed vote is imperative. My name is Kamely Harkins, I am the great granddaughter of Odis and Helen (Parks) Harkins. I moved to Ekalaka in 2003 and have made Carter County my home. I am a proud graduate of Carter County High School, Class of 2006. I have since held numerous jobs: a dietary aide and CNA for Dahl Memorial, a custodian and kitchen aide for Carter County High School a bartender for a short while as...
I want to be able to trust the honesty and integrity of my candidates in Montana. Toss out those candidates who don’t offer solutions, rile up the extremists on both sides, attack election integrity, and are puppets for failing views. Pick any issue and I’ll bet that you can think of some actions that might help solve the problem. In the end, we all have to admit that problems need a lot more input, discussion, and ideas before they can be solved. Take the Problem like Immigration, Most people would agree that: Imm...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, watching birds is entertaining as well as educational. One morning recently we saw a plump robin fly in and carefully land on the edge of the birdbath. He, of the red breast, after looking all around, drank slow and long. He must have been ‘working’ hard somewhere to be so thirsty; then with one more upward gaze, he jumped right into the birdbath for a quick splash. That brought a chuckle for right then some cowboy wisdom (author unknown) came to mind. “Always drink upstream from th...

Cowboy. Rancher. Pickup Man. Pilot. Sheepman. Neighbor. Friend. It doesn't matter how you describe Jim Wilson, but most people who know him will say that he is a true example of the Western way of life. He always said that starting at about six years old, he knew he wanted to be a cowboy, and he wanted to be the best cowboy. Robert J. Wilson was born in Broadus, Montana, on May 15, 1945, the eldest of three boys, to Bob & Betty Wilson. At that time, they were employed by...
Memorial Service for James Walker, 83, of Ekalaka, will be 10 a.m. on Thursday, October 13 at Stevenson Funeral Home in Ekalaka. Burial will take place in Pine Slope Cemetery, Belle Fourche, South Dakota at 3 p.m. James passed away October 5, 2022 in Ekalaka. Some of you might remember him as Doak, others might think of him as Big Jim or the old man in Room 1327, and to his kids he was Dad or Pops. James Duane Walker was born December 9, 1938, in Belle Fourche, South Dakota...
When Covid hit, we decided to stop offering working cattle ranch vacations, which means my summers have become much less hectic but also less entertaining on a daily basis. One of the best parts about entertaining guests is recounting the funny things that happen. Sometimes it is quite difficult to keep a straight face when guests say something in all sincerity that strikes my funny bone. For example, I was in Yellowstone with four guests from New York. One of the teenage girls did not bother to get out of the car to view a...
The Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame & Western Heritage Center (MCHF & WHC) recently announced their 15th class of inductions into the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame. The inductees were chosen from a field of candidates nominated by the general public. Inductees are honored for their notable contributions to the history and culture of Montana. “The Hall of Fame exists to honor those who have made an impact in their part of the state and represent Montana’s authentic heritage for future generations,” said DuWayne Wilson, MCHF & WHC p...
Ekalaka resident Les Poland recently returned from an unforgettable trip. The short, three-day journey was an Honor Flight to Washington D.C. that allowed him and around 25 other military veterans the opportunity to visit many of the area's memorials. "It was a very humbling experience," Poland said about the trip. "I was not for want of anything." Poland told the Eagle on Wednesday that the only stipulation to going on an Honor Flight to D.C. is being a veteran....
