A "No" vote would leave things as they currently are. The election polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m...

We enjoyed watching the All-State Orchestra and Chorus in Rapid City Saturday evening on Public TV. It is challenging trying to pick out the Ipswich and Edmunds Central vocalists in the sea of faces. We actually have a shirttail relative from Rapid City in the orchestra. So she was very easy to pick out because she plays a very tiny instrument — the piccolo. And she was the only one, next to the flute players, with the larger flutes. You could watch and hear the instrument since it has a very high pitch, sounding like a tin whistle. She m...

The first two scores of the latter were 25-18, 25-18 in favor of the hosts, but guess what Ipswich wasn't quite ready to make the short trip back to town.
