SAR forms REMS team

Published by admin on Wed, 05/21/2025 - 9:42am

There’s a new tool in the toolbox when it comes to the battle of wildfires in the Black Hills, as Custer County Search and Rescue (SAR) has created a Rapid Extraction Module Support (REMS) team, a specialized sub-unit of SAR that is strategically stationed at wildland fires, plays a pivotal role in prioritizing swift access to injured or ill firefighters for safe and efficient egress off the fireline. This ensures their rapid transport to definitive medical care in cases of emergency during firefighting operations.

Call of the Week
Thursday, May 8
10:21 a.m.: Two dogs that “looked like Old Yeller” were reportedly causing havoc on Wild Rose Lane. The matter was referred to the animal control person. Good thing too, if you remember what happened to Old Yeller at the end of the movie.              

Delayed delivery hurting newspapers

Published by admin on Wed, 05/14/2025 - 2:01pm

Delayed Postal Service deliveries of small-town newspapers are frustrating readers, undermining subscriptions and hurting advertising revenue, according to publishers across South Dakota.
“It’s taking nine days to get a paper from Armour to Sioux Falls,” said Julie Hinckley of Rocket Printing, which prints several small-town publications. “That’s unacceptable for timely news.”

Lawmakers seek to ban candy, soda from SNAP benefits

Published by admin on Wed, 05/14/2025 - 1:56pm

Two state lawmakers who work in health care want Republican South Dakota Gov. Larry Rhoden’s help to ban sugary drinks, candy and “other non-nutritious items” from a nutrition program for low-income people.
Sen. Sydney Davis, R-Burbank, and Rep. Taylor Rehfedt, R-Sioux Falls, sent Rhoden a letter this week asking him to seek a waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to prohibit families on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) from purchasing the items.
