The Dickinson Press; Letters to the Editor : Hmm, what could go wrong with this plan? Posted on Sep 6, 2009 at 12:00 a.m.

We're going to pass a national health care plan the citizens don't want, written by a congressional committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president who can't explain it, coached by a former South Dakota senator turned lobbyist who didn't pay his taxes, with funding administered by a Treasury secretary who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke.

What could possibly go wrong?

Water pipeline project nears completion By Dickinson Press Staff on Jun 5, 2010 at 12:00 a.m.

After conception by a few area minds in the late '70s and about $31 million later, rural residents in southwest North Dakota can receive treated water as a section of the Southwest Pipeline Project nears completion. More than 940 residents near Medora, Beach, Sentinel Butte, Golva and five additional contract users are now receiving treated water after completion of the Medora, Beach Regional Service Area, a section of the Southwest Pipeline Project.
