M OMENTS Danica Zomer, MSW, CSW-PIP Have you ever felt a little sluggish and down on a dreary rainy day? Or have you experienced the opposite, waking up to the warm sunshine and feeling refreshed, energized, and ready to take on the day. How about that eerie, fearful feeling that can come right before a big storm blows through? It’s not uncommon for our mood to shift with the changing weather.

In a heartfelt initiative to empower the next generation, Lakota Youth Development (LYD) organized a captivating storytelling workshop this past weekend at 621 Main St., Gregory, SD. The event brought together young participants eager to hear their cultural stories and connect with their heritage through the art of storytelling.

Saturday, October 19, 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. will be “Bring Your Dog Day” at Sam’s Farm Festival in Dallas.

Dear editor, The 2025 election is right around the corner and early voting is open for South Dakota residents. If you’re like me, you are dreading all the mailers and advertisements that are heading our way, along with the new electronic advertising that will be on your cell phones. But if you’ll give me just a couple moments of your time I’d like to talk about the District 21 Senate race and why I think it’s important that we elect Mykala Voita to this office. I’ve gotten to know Mykala over the past few months and listened to her views on many subjects that pertain to this state, District 21, and its constituents. It would be a great pleasure to work with her in Pierre. Her principles and beliefs on what life should be in South Dakota are refreshing, so I’m asking you to vote for Mykala Voita on November 5. Thank you Marty Overweg Dear Editor, The Dangerous Make-Believe Maga World Make America Great Again (MAGA) supporters confer religious hero status upon Donald Trump, as is represented in the MAGA flag that includes the words Trump, God, and Guns on the American flag. The depiction of Trump as righteous, however, defies reality. Widely and clearly broadcasted for years, Trump’s behavior in fact contradicts basic Christian as well as core traditional South Dakota values.
