Luke & Lizzie talk dancing dreams

Published by admin on Thu, 01/02/2020 - 9:07am
It might seem a little unusual for someone working the front desk at Custer’s YMCA to be wearing metal-tipped tap shoes, but not for Lizzie Anderson who has been dancing her way through life with her big brother, Luke, since both were in grade school. 
Hoping to get in a little tap dancing between helping the folks using the Y, that’s exactly how Lizzie was shod Friday morning when I caught up with her and Luke to talk about their dancing careers: where they’ve come from and where they hope to go.

Last Rushmore carver remembered

Published by admin on Thu, 12/19/2019 - 10:10am
About 175 people filled Carver’s Cafe at Mount Rushmore Memorial to pay tribute to Donald L. “Nick” Clifford. The memorial service featured patriotic songs from the Shrine of Democracy Chorus. 
“Nick loved patriotic songs. There were times that I would see Nick coming through the basement areas or the terrace just walking along and they’d be on the speaker playing patriotic songs and Nick would walk just a little bit faster after hearing  that music,” said Maureen McGee-Ballinger, chief of interpretation and education at the monument.
