CCHS boys basketball had a couple tough outings against powerhouse Melstone last Thursday in Ekalaka. In a shortened half-game of JV basketball, the boys were down only five at the half. However, in the second half, the Dogs were only able to muster three points. Ty Meredith and Ty Kombol of Melstone led all scoring with eight each. Melstone went a perfect 8-8 from the free throw line in the contest, while the Bulldogs went 3-4. CCHS 8 3 - 11 Melstone 13 12 - 25 Ryan Rychner...
A strong second quarter helped the Lady Bulldogs get the win over Melstone last Thursday in Ekalaka. They outscored Melstone by nine in the quarter, and eventually won by a total of 11. CCHS lost the turnover battle 21-17, but more than made up for it in the rebound category by out-rebounding the Broncs 21-11. Claire Callahan had 9 of those rebounds rounding out what was, perhaps, her best game of the season so far. She just missed out on a double-double as she also had 14...

Hello, I’ve told you I’m not a real big football fan. I do enjoy the playoffs. It was fun seeing the Jaguars put forth a great effort against the New England Referees. And that’s all I’m going to say about that because I don’t want to incur a fine from the NFL. And I guess there was another game after that. And that’s all I’m going to say about that because…Well, just because. We watched those games at home. I’ve told you about how Shirley is about football. She was devastated when she found out the Minnesota Twins c...
I wish to take this opportunity to do two things. First, I would like to announce that I have filed for the republican nomination for the office of Carter County Commissioner, District 3. Along with this, I wanted to take this opportunity, for those who do not know me, to get to know me a little better. I will of course be visiting with many of you during the course of the campaign, and look forward to doing so, but for those who do not know me I will attempt to make this brief and look forward to visiting with all about...
Snow had been falling almost continuously for a week, and it was very cold. The temperature had only risen to minus 18 degrees. Finally, late in the day, the snow and wind stopped, skies cleared rapidly, and as the sun set the temperature plummeted. Early the next morning, on Jan. 20, 1954, the Montana and continental 48 states' record cold temperature of minus 70 degrees was observed at a mining camp near the Continental Divide a short distance from Rogers Pass near Helena....
One of the things that I appreciate about The Ekalaka Eagle is that full obituaries are published. This helps me identify people that I knew over 50 years ago. Tom Waterland’s obituary in the January 12 issue is an example. Tom worked for my dad, John Arbuckle, about 1950. Tom read the rules for playing Canasta and taught my sister, Joyce, and I how to play it. My favorite items are front page news, anything about the museum or history of the area (I really liked the 100 year ranch series and kept all the articles), ...
Eric, As I read the Eagle I see Lois Lambert is not writing her article anymore. I will miss it. Every week it was a joy to read. I was able to visit Lois at the Days of ‘85 and I am thankful for that. It is always good to see Brice and to know the kindness in his heart for his care of Lois and always glad to see all of us when we came home to Ekalaka. May God bless you both. Linda Kautzmann...
Editor, Small businesses can use all the help they can get, most especially representatives in Washington who stand up for them and represent their interests. Montana’s small businesses are lucky that they have such champions in Senator Tester & Senator Daines, both of whom recently signed on to legislation to delay the Health Insurance Tax (HIT). The HIT is a federal sales tax on health care plans purchased by small business owners for their employees. At $430 per per family per year, this tax directly raises the cost of h...

MONTANA – On Monday, Governor Steve Bullock signed an executive order to protect net neutrality in Montana by requiring that successful recipients of state contracts adhere to internet neutrality principles. Standing alongside a group of computer science students at the same high school he attended growing up, Governor Bullock said, "for as long as you, or I, or anyone in this room has used the internet, we've had certain expectations about how things work. We've had access t...
