Hot Springs pushes for prosperity

Published by admin on Wed, 09/25/2024 - 10:32am

Patrick Richards grew up near this Southern Black Hills city and has now – at age 43 – returned to settle down and raise a family.
He and his wife, Alison, were living in Las Vegas until recently when they decided the Hot Springs area would be a better place to raise their 3-year-old son, Dexter, and any other siblings who may come along.
And yet, the couple thinks the city could be improved and be even more accommodating to young parents – and health nuts – like themselves if it had a trail system that allowed for longer rides or walks through the entire community.

Down Memory Lane Sept. 18

Published by admin on Wed, 09/18/2024 - 12:25pm

10 years ago, 2014 — Billie Wicks and Sam Mertz were named homecoming king and queen during Monday night’s coronation held at the high school. Other candidates were Kendall Ashmore, Haley Foster, Sidney Snyder, Shane Herman, Dylan McGee and Joel Thomsen...The calendar said it’s summer, but it looked more like Christmas as over eight inches of snow fell overnight and temperatures dipped into the 20s. Trees felt the weight of the early snow when the heavy, wet snow was too much for many of their branches, breaking them off.

Industrial tech teacher Jared Webster, assistant principal Orion Thompson, teacher/athletic director Steph Ornelas and teacher/basketball coach Paul Kelley were among the staff members who had the water dumped on their heads...The Custer County Commission passed the first reading of its 2015 budget, but only after trimming another $368,000 from the provisional budget it had originally crafted.
