Yes, I know I haven’t had a “Memories” article since Nov. 2, but let me explain. On Oct. 27 we received a telephone call that our daughter Arlene and her husband were cleaning the eve troughs on their house. The ladder tipped and she fell 12-14 feet onto the basement cement entry. She was taken to the Twin Falls emergency room where they found a head injury with some bleeding that required seven stitches. She was airlifted to Boise, Idaho for more treatment. The head bleeding stopped, but she had two broken vertebrates in her...
When I first thought of applying for the CEO position at Dahl Memorial, it was the possibility of building a new facility that excited me the most about the opportunity. When I left Ekalaka 20 years ago, I didn’t think my career path would take me into healthcare administration and back home. Here we are, and happy to be here. The experience I have in healthcare started in Forsyth on July 2, 2007 with the thought of someday becoming CEO and providing some sort of stability in that position to Rosebud Health Care Center. In M...

"They have been at a great feast of languages and stol'n the scraps." So says the page to his illiterate friend, watching the writing-men at work. In "Love's Labour's Lost," the scholars are quickly revealed as fools. King Ferdinand and his court swear off women in favor of study, and they are quickly forsworn when the quick-witted Princess of France and her alluring entourage arrive on ambassadorial duty. That opening quote is from early in the play, and it seems meant...
