LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, Here are some of my thoughts concerning the Gregory County Pumped Storage meeting on January 25 in Burke, SD, sponsored by MidAmerica Energy and Missouri River Energy Services. East and West River communities were well represented at both meetings (afternoon and evening).

A Note From Cottonwood Corners

As soon as Jack Sully was shot near his home on the morning of May 16, 1904, a gathering began to assemble on Sully Flats. Earlier, Ben Diamond had ridden up to the ranch house and called for Jack. Jack was inside with his daughter, Eva, and two younger boys, George and John.

Champions at the Capitol

This week, we welcomed the South Dakota State University football team to the South Dakota State Capitol in Pierre. On January 8th, the Jackrabbits brought home a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) national championship win against North Dakota State University! This was not just any victory – it was a win against their rivals. And thanks to SDSU’s excellent play, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum has to keep a Jackrabbit helmet in his office for the rest of the month.
