  • Fiddlin' Around

    -deg|Mar 13, 2024

    Tornadoes rolled through Rapid City last weekend. Fortunately they weren't real tornadoes, but they were a girls basketball team playing in the State B there. That's right the Centerville Tornadoes would cap their amazing weekend with an impressively relatively easy championship night victory over Arlington, the top-seeded team entering the event. At the other end of the spectrum a Lake Region Conference and Region 1B member Warner didn't fare all that well.

    From the Ipswich Tribune May 15, 1930 edition Towns Worse Foe Like every town in America has something it wishes it didn’t have, some things we could get along far better without. At the head of the list of unnecessary evils with which we have to contend is the chronic gossiper. We feel sure we have as few of these as any other community, yet so long as there is even one gossiper in our midst it is one too many. Everyone appreciates the value of constructive criticism. But there is a vast difference between constructive and destructive c...
