Community Comes Together Over Spaghetti for Belle Silver Lining

BELLE FOURCHE—Appetites were as hearty as the helpings when Belle Silver Lining hosted hungry guests for the second annual spaghetti feed on October 24. For a free-will donation, plates were piled high with spaghetti noodles, meat sauce and garlic bread. Board members, volunteers and employees of Belle Silver Lining were on hand to cook, serve food and drinks and keep things moving along. They also served food to those who needed a little help and removed dirty dishes when guests were finished eating.

The Outside Circle: Bulls, broncs and barrels, Nelson fundraiser clinic, sorting series, horse sales

We finally got our calves preconditioned last weekend. It was quite cool and rainy, which settled any dust in the pens. It started to sleet by the time we were picking things up and turning everything back out to pasture. Those cows all deserve a medal for the job they have done on their calves with little grass, no rain, and being fed hay and cake to get them by. The calves look good and are gentle from being caked every day with the cows. It’s kind of strange to have a big steer calf walk up and nibble my sleeve while standing amongst the cows and calves. The best part of the day, bar none, was that all four of my grandkids were there helping. That alone made it a stellar day as the oldest two don’t live with their dad and wanted to come and help.

Swan Lake Soars in Rapid City

RAPID CITY, S.D. - You can travel the world, or the world can travel to you. On Tuesday night, the touring World Ballet Company arrived in Rapid City, delivering one of the most impressive classical ballet productions the local stage has ever hosted at The Monument. The evening offered a showcase of athleticism and artistic discipline alongside a live orchestra without pauses or second takes, the ensemble demonstrated technical precision across the board. From the corps de ballet to the principals, every movement stayed in time and synchronized, standing out as a higher caliber presentation than recent touring stops in the area, including the Company's 2025 staging of "Sleeping Beauty." Standout performances anchored the performance. Ballerina Lina Sheveleva, dancing the dual lead role of Odette and Odile, drew acclaim from the audience during a solo that featured 29 executed fouettés. Konstantin Geronik brought comedic relief and energy as the Jester, generating laughter across the auditorium. The visual presentation of the villain Rothbart was equally distinct, featuring an intricate, menacing costume reminiscent of a feather-covered Edward Scissorhands. The visual and musical elements matched the dancers' execution. Set and costume designer Sergey Novikov developed backdrops and lighting designs that ranged from bright
