Drive with Caution, School Starts Monday

by

The Dell Rapids school year gets underway on Monday, August 20th, and motorists are being reminded of the 15 mph speed limit in school zones.  Big Sioux Media spoke with a representative from the Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Department and he would like to remind motorists to use extra caution in school zones and to leave for your destination a little earlier than normal allowing for the slowdown and the number of cars and congestion around the schools.  School age children get extra excited about the start of a school year, and often times are not paying attention while crossing streets or exiting cars to get onto the school grounds.  School zones are typically patrolled more heavily for a few weeks for safety purposes.

Quarriers Finished 2nd at Dakota Valley Golf Invitational

by

The Dell Rapids Quarriers boys golf team was at Dakota Valley, Wednesday, August 15, for a 12-team invitational and they knocked off 14 strokes from their first golf invite in Volga this past Monday.  Coach Mick Hoglund told Big Sioux Media the team shot better, finishing in 2nd place behind Harrisburg.  The top three teams were Harrisburg with a 303 (who by the way won Monday’s West Central Invitational), Dell Rapids with a 315, and 3rd place was Sioux Falls Christian with a 324.  The medalist honors went to Harrisburg golfer Brooklyn DeVries with a 69.  For the Quarriers:  Ted LaCoursiere with a 75 (3rd place); Zach Schroeder with a 77 (6th place);  Ty Hoglund with an 80 (12th place);  Devon Weber with an 83;  Adam Karst with an 87.   The Quarriers Junior Varsity team finished 3rd overall.   The next Invitational for Dells will be their own on Monday, August 20th,  at Rocky Run.

7th Street Project Put on Hold

by

Does government work for the people?    Are your voices truly listened to and action taken based on those concerns?   Whether it is small or large government the answers can be ‘yes’ and ‘no’, but in Dell Rapids concerns of citizens regarding the 7th Street Project were heard and reported on Big Sioux Media July 31st.  Local city government sent notices to those homeowners that the 7th Street Project would impact and they were encouraged to come to city hall for an informational meeting. In the informal setting the voices of the majority of homeowners rang loud and clear….they were opposed to the costs (and potential costs) to the individual property owners.  The three council members and the city administrator informed those they would indeed bring those concerns raised about the project to the full commission before taking any official action.  So, at the next official meeting, the Dell Rapids City Council determined “no work will begin now” and further discussion will continue.  Does government work for the people and your voices truly listened to?  In this case, the answer is a resounding yes.  

Quarriers 4th in First Golf Meet of Year

by

The schedule said West Central in Hartford would be the location for the Dell Rapids Quarriers first golf match for the season, but strategy came into play when the chance for the Quarriers to play Meadow Creek Golf in Volga came into the picture.  Meadow Creek Golf will host the regional golf meet later in the year, and this was an opportunity to play the course early and see some of the regional competitors as well.  Big Sioux Media spoke to Coach Mick Hoglund about the play Monday afternoon and he said the team knows the “region is going to be very, very good” and the Quarriers have some work to do.  Team scores had Aberdeen Roncalli finishing 1st with a 310;  Sisseton was 2nd with a 314; Madison 3rd with a 317; and the Quarriers 4th with a 329.  Other teams competing were Milbank and Sioux Valley.

Individually for Dells was Zach Schroeder with a score of 78 (6th place);  Adam Karst with a 79 (9th place);  Ted LaCoursiere an 85; Devon Weber with an 87; and Ty Hoglund with a 90.   The next outing for the Quarriers will be Wednesday at Dakota Valley.
