As of March 2, Lori Eggerth is the new director of the Custer Senior Center. 
Eggerth was born and raised in Iowa and raised her family there as well. She later moved to the Sioux Falls area for about 15 years before moving to Custer. 
“I did a lot of jobs, and sometimes I did three or four at a time. I’ve been a school bus driver, I have worked in a nursing home, I have worked at a newspaper—I’ve had experience with all age groups,” said Eggerth.

9:32 a.m.: A belated pickup versus fence crash was reported on Spring Creek Cutoff east of Hermosa. The suspect vehicle fled the scene, leaving a trail of broken parts…and a license plate. This was important later, as it enabled a deputy to locate the pickup pilot and pick him up for driving with a revoked license and no insurance.
