Things aren’t looking too alarming on the county’s budget spreadsheets this year. Though the current total from all requests made by the various departments that keep the county running are higher than the estimated amount that will be available to spend during fiscal year 2023-24, says County Clerk Melissa Jones, the two figures are relatively close compared to some years. Total requests this year came in at $18,740,000, which is half a million above the estimated revenue. However, there’s still over a month before the budget needs to be pa...

The month of June holds spiritual and cultural significance for the tribes closely associated with Mato Tipila – Bear Lodge (Devils Tower). The 1995 Devils Tower National Monument Climbing Management Plan established a voluntary closure for all climbing routes on the Tower out of respect for the cultural activities of Native Americans. The voluntary climbing closure has been implemented each June since 1996. As a result, the average number of climbers that choose not to climb during June has led to an 85% reduction.

The percentage of British occupying the Pridgeon compound has tripled with the arrival of my dear parents, who braved the long voyage from the homeland for more than two months of vacation in the glorious green-up of our Black Hills. They reside for the moment in an old hunting cabin located in our yard, which we repurposed in a roaring hurry upon hearing they’d booked their plane tickets.
