Four hundred ninety-four ballots were counted following the regular school election on May 8 in Carter County. That’s roughly 57% of the registered voters in the county. Of those 494, 305 were in favor of the general fund increase, while 189 were against it. The levy authorizes the school board to impose an increase in local taxes to support the high school’s general fund. This increase of $8480.90, approximately .16 mills, will increase the taxes on a home with a market value of $100,000 by about twenty-one cents, and wil...

On Tuesday, the senior class of Carter County High and their parents attended a banquet at the school. The banquet is organized and hosted each year by Sagebrush Service Club. Susan Tooke of the club explained that "the club took over from the Lions Club years ago," and that "they put it on to honor the senior class and bid them farewell as they leave the ranchero." On that notion, the club selected "Saddle Up For Success," as this year's senior banquet theme and chose Toby...
Dahl Memorial Healthcare Association board members recently selected Ryan Tooke to fill the vacant chief executive officer (CEO) position. Tooke brings both experience and education to the position. He received a Masters in Healthcare Administration from Montana State University-Billings, and has been the CEO at Rosebud Health Care Center in Forsyth, MT since 2010. Tooke was also the chief financial officer at Rosebud Health Care Center from 2007 to 2010. Prior to that, he...
I would like to share one comment as I begin; Bill Lavell and Madlon Brence mentioned one individual, Lee Bair, recently in their articles and it brought back my memories of this man. As I remember, he had lost a leg and became a salesman. As Madlon reports, Lee sold for Minnesota Woolen. Around 1950 or 1951, he came to our apartment where he measured and sold me a pair of dress trousers from Minnesota Woolen, which were delivered later with a perfect fit. I will now reflect on some past neighbors, Frank and Clara Nies, who...
My husband does the grocery shopping, but for decades I’ve provided him with a typed or computer generated grocery list. I may allow him to add to the list, but I always hope the store can provide all the other essentials I list. We went to Miles City and Baker last week, with lists for each town. I had an appointment with my neurologist to have Botox shots in my right hand, arm, and neck. The eye doctor was also in the building, and she had warned me macular degeneration was a problem with MS patients, so I needed to see h...
MSU Fallon/Carter Extension and 4-H youth from Carter and Fallon Counties invite everyone to participate in their 4-H service project, Books for Africa. Books For Africa (BFA) is the largest shipper of donated educational materials to the African continent in the world. They have shipped more than 34 million books to 49 different African nations since they were founded in 1988. BFA will sort all collected books by subject and reading level at Minnesota and Georgia warehouses to prepare for shipment. BFA then ships the packed...
The junior class will be hosting Carter County High School prom this Saturday, April 28. The public is invited to attend grand march at 8:00 p.m. The king and queen will be crowned following grand march and prom will continue for high school students and their guests until midnight....
I don’t remember when I first met Ernest Tooke. I don’t believe that he went to grade school in Ekalaka, but I might be wrong. So when I arrived at CCHS, as a freshman, he was a junior in the same grade as my sister, Bertha. I’m sure that I knew him before that. Of course, everyone knew the Tookes, Feek and Faye and all the others along with their families. Ernie, as we called him then, was definitely one of the boys and a very popular one at that. All of the guys liked him immensely and he was very much a ladies man as we...
With my article about the Ekalaka Independent Basketball Tournaments giving information about scores, players, referees, businesses, etc., I never presented who placed in the top four during those nine years. I will include it at the bottom of this article and, as you will see, there were some close games and high scores. In the list of individual high scoring games published previously, I overlooked Dan Marinkovich who scored thirty five in a game in 1956 and was an all tourney player that year. Marinkovich was a teacher...

That’s right, it happened again; snow, wind and hazardous driving conditions postponed the medical appointment to deal with my trygeminal nerve pain in the lower right jaw. That happened in January, February, but we mistakenly thought April would be safe. We should have remembered the year Katie tried to come home from Billings on spring break; we followed her all the way from Miles City to be sure she made it safely. Driving conditions were questionable in Ekalaka, on April 5, but got worse the farther west you went. We w...

I am going to throw several different memories of individuals, tourney games, and records during those tourney years into my article this week. My last article had information about Carsten Loken. Many of you may not remember, but he was known more as "Dutch" Loken. I also want to state that girls high school basketball had not started when I was a referee. When I was in grade school, we played the high school girls-the game was different then. There were six players, three...
Myrna Ellen Metz (Loken) passed away on March 29, 2018 of natural causes in Seattle, WA (where she had moved from Billings, MT in 2015). She was born in Belle Fourche, South Dakota on November 22nd, 1928 to Mary Lee Richardson and Lorenz Anderson. Myrna was the oldest of five siblings including Wilbur Anderson, Wayne Anderson, Lorene Rowland, and Lee Arbuckle. Myrna spent her early years on a small ranch and attending school in Colony, Wyoming. Her father Lorenz passed away when she was nine years old. In 1942, her mother...
Our mom and grandma, Linda Blanc, entered this world on February 6, 1946. She passed on to a better place on Friday March 16, 2018 in Kalispell Montana. Linda was born to Lowell and Ruth Bergstrom in Portland, Oregon. She was soon joined by a brother, John. The family moved to Willard, Montana when Linda was young, eventually purchasing a ranch southeast of Ekalaka in the Tie Creek area. This was a place that Mom loved dearly. She attended a one room country school, and...
A funeral service for Sandra Sterns, 71, of Ekalaka, was held on March 26, 2018 at Stevenson Funeral Home in Ekalaka with Tom Stieg officiating. Visitation took place one hour prior to the service.

As I continued to referee for several years, I was included in the top rating as an official. I was chosen for tournaments — the first being a Class C District A Tournament in Sidney, MT. Almost every referee looks forward to working a tournament. I believe the year was 1961 and the teams were Froid, Culbertson, Bainville, Brockton, Savage, Richey, Frazer, and Lambert. Some of these schools have now combined because of enrollment. A memory from this tourney was that Mr. Kenneth K. Kins was the coach of the Brockton I...
As time moved on, I decided I would like to work games other than just at Ekalaka. Individuals who worked sports activities belong to an organization called Montana Officials Association (MOA) and had groups in Miles City and Glendive. I decided to take the basketball test and become a member of the organization. I didn’t pass. After much study with the rule book and a book called the “Case” book, I passed. The “Case” book was a wonderful book that had every kind of situation and problem that could come about as a referee w...

Carter County High School gymnasium was alive with color on Saturday, February 3, as Bulldog fans dressed to show their support for cancer research. The William C. Rowley Chapter of National Honor Society sponsored their annual “Fight with Bulldog Power” event that afternoon during the basketball games between Wibaux and Carter County. Fans were encouraged to wear bright colors representing the colors of awareness ribbons for various cancers. Breast cancer’s pink ribbon is well recognized, but each type of cancer is repre...
