November 11, 2024 Ronda Cordell made a trip to the bank in Buffalo, on Monday. She was afraid the mail would be at ‘Pony Express’ speed through some far-off post office. Some of her mail has a new address, and the bank has changed her address to Capitol Rock Township with a South Dakota zip code. No one has been able to explain this change, or why this change has occurred. Ronda called the newspaper and Seaton Publishing, who tried to change the address back, but the computer would not allow the change. The letter had ori...

CCHS scored the first touchdown of the game, but they wouldn't score again until late after Scobey had all but secured the victory. The final score was 20-44...
October 21, 2024 Last week, when Ronda Cordell was coming home from the Methodist Bazaar in Camp Crook, she noticed a car on the Exie Road, but it never came out. Denise had noticed a guy and two dogs that were walking in her pasture. It appeared they were bird hunting since the guy was carrying a gun. Denise had assumed that Ronda had given someone permission to hunt, but she hadn’t. Ronda doesn’t like archery hunting, especially because many animals are hit, but are found later having suffered lingering deaths. She has fou...

July 22, 2024 Well, last week at Capitol and on Tie Creek, things had gotten more exciting than most people would desire. Karen didn’t write news, couldn’t call neighbors, and couldn’t email the news, because of the storm that came through, on Saturday evening, wiping out the electricity. A bingo night had been planned in Camp Crook for Saturday, and some people enjoyed bingo, but a few had stayed home to avoid the predicted weather. The cool air from the east felt good after the hot day. Then things got completely silen...

May, 2024 The Merry month of May! Do you remember the tradition of having a basket of goodies or an arrangement of flowers placed on your front step?
