Edmunds County Tribune -

The equinox is just approaching, but you already know that with the cool temps in the morning and evenings. And you don’t want to be driving west on the Highway at sunset. I’m not sure if that is the case at sunrise heading east. I won’t be...

Things are already happening fast regarding the September activity events. There was one thing though that you may have missed and that was Patriot Day on 9-11. But we hope that you did remember the reason for that day and at least were able to fly...

Monday holidays always seem to make the rest of the work week go faster. Indeed they do! So we hope that your extended holiday weekend ending on Labor Day Monday went worthwhile and that you got a lot accomplished. But it was quite warm in fact...

We are asking you to submit items for the newspaper by Friday afternoon due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday, Sept. 4. The office will be closed on that day. Thanks for the cooperation. One down and one or two to go! That's right the Edmunds...

To the Editor: TO THE CITIZENS OF IPSWICH: Do you realize how some of your city tax dollars are being spent? Most recently, on several occasions, I personally observed that the city has been using tax payer resources to spray for mosquitoes at Golf...

Believe it not, we got a taker last Wednesday morning for the Wedding RSVP card we got in the office. Abigail and Mathieu were family of a local person who read “Fiddlin’ Around”. Glad we could help. We have talked about how you can see which f...

Did you ever get a wedding invite from somebody that you didn't know was even on the planet? We recently did exactly that. It was missing its entire address on the envelope, only addressed to PO Box Ipswich. The Post Office took a stab and put it in...

Fortunately the heaviest rain storms avoided us early Saturday during the opening hours of the Ipswich community rummage sales. But the precipitation would unfortunately intensify which still didn't hinder the sales that were totally indoors. On the...

Hosmer was certainly a busy place last Saturday and hopefully that will also be the case this week in Ipswich. Why you might ask? That city will be hosting the annual 4-H Achievement Days starting on Wednesday at the 4H grounds. And all you rummage...

This column is often about the weather and it really should be this week, featuring a heat wave that's in progress pretty much all over the country the way it sounds! But it might get a little cooler later in our work week? We'll see about that! But...

Our sump pump has been intermittent lately. But I think it was mostly dry last week. But that was OK because it allowed some outdoor Fourth of July-related activities including some that had been postponed due to too much rain. One of these would...

Man, July is almost half over and you all know what that means. One recent evening last week was feeling real chilly. Already felt like fall was right around the corner. And school as well! Go in any store and you can see Back-to-School deals. With...

I can’t believe its that time of the year (summer). Yes, June is almost over and we finally got some much welcome rain. I hope you were able to avoid getting too wet in Leola or Bowdle if you went to either. Now we look forward to the various 4th...

When you’re in the vicinity of the Trail Days Arena this weekend drive by Schriver’s Funeral Home. They have a new cool sign announcing their identity. It was designed and set up by Bryan Scherr. We hope to have more about his new project in a...

We were driving in the evening over the weekend for a weather check. Big clouds surrounded us. But there were no rains coming, but what did we see? A bright half rainbow! It showed up when it hadn't even rained yet. But it did manage a little...

There is more high school sports to mention in this column again this week, even though the 2022-23 school year has ended. You guessed correctly that I would congratulate the newly-crowned Ipswich boys track and field team that indeed tied with Grego...

You can get a lot of fresh air at an outdoor sports event. The problem is though that some days the air has been anything but fresh. And they even had to postpone the Class A region in Mobridge for one day because of that! That wasn't really the...

Can you believe this? Believe it or not, it is nearly time for the 2022-23 school year's varsity athletic events to conclude with their respective post-season schedules. This will indeed be do or die time in both track and field action and golf. So...
