The South Dakota Primary Election is set for Tuesday, June 4, with several offices up for election. The Bennett County Commission race has two seats up for election, drawing six candidates, five of them Republicans.

Things were getting a little dry in the region so the moisture over the weekend and Monday was a blessing to farmers and ranchers. About three quarters of an inch of rain fell in many areas Saturday evening into Sunday. That was followed up by a good snowfall that had very little wind, putting a nice even blanket across the ground that will melt nice and slow and soak in nicely.

By Tim Huether I’ve always put my faith in God above all else and through my daily prayers, ask him for forgiveness and I ask him for the things I feel I am in need of, such as good health, good decision making, etc. I also offer up prayers for my family, friends and neighbors, especially those suffering or ill.
