It had been a long road for CCHS Football since they last made the playoffs. That year was 2009; it also happened to be the last time the Bulldogs played 8-Man football. In 2009 a formidable team led by a salty group of seniors traveled to Hays-Lodgepole for their regular season finale and won. The following week they fell to Twin Bridges in the first round of the 8-Man playoffs. From 2010 to 2018 the Dogs had their fair share of struggles while playing 6-Man football. 2014...
Amidst a crowd of family and friends, longtime Carter County resident Anabel Yates celebrated her 95th birthday at Dahl Memorial Healthcare in Ekalaka last Wednesday. Party goers enjoyed refreshments, conversation and their choice of two different cakes. The cake in the photo, which looks like a blue cat, was made specially by a Dahl employee for Yates who has always been very fond of felines....

Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, it might be fun to go back in time (but only for a short time) when life moved at a slower pace. We’ll leave behind: high speed internet, cell phones, telephones, T. V., GPS and electricity. Daily chores, back then, were milking cows, gathering eggs, cleaning coop and barn, slopping pigs, feeding bucket calves, cooking meals from scratch, and in Autumn, making jams, jellies, canning fruits, vegetables and meat, making soap, making some of our clothes or remaking hand-me-downs. Ah – a...

While looking through “Shifting Scenes” to write an article, I came across an article written by Sandi Kirkwood on the family of James and Inga C. Senrud Johnstone. As I read through those I said to myself: “What interesting people, times and events.” You readers be the judges. Like a lot of individuals, they came across the water to the U.S.A. James (Jimmy) was born on January 27, 1883 in Creetown, Kircubrightshire, Scotland. He was one of seven children as he had three brothers and three sisters. Inga Senrud was born Ju...

I was so sorry to hear about the death of my classmate, Donna Sjoblom Smith. I started grade school in Ekalaka in 1944 in the first grade; we had no kindergarten then. Part of my class was Donna Sjoblom. Donna was cute as could be and was smart, sweet and nice. She was everyone’s favorite. She was my classmate all the way through school and graduated from high school with me in 1956. Donna’s parents lived on a farm a little west of Ekalaka but I think that she went to town school for her whole school experience. Donna too...
Hello, I’m not a real good fencer. You can ask my neighbors. But yesterday I was forced to build a quarter mile of four barbed-wire fence. It happened because on Saturday evening, I was rudely taken from a pinochle game to get cattle off the road. And Shirley wasn’t home to get them in. So yesterday morning, we went to fencing. We being Shirley and I. There is nothing more attractive to me than a woman wearing Carhartt Overalls, a Scotch cap, and leather gloves, with a fencing plier in her hand. Gorgeous. I mean it’s not V...
