BELLE FOURCHE, S.D.— A new conservation group that hopes to take partisanship out of support for the environment launched Thursday in Belle Fourche. Calling itself Nature Is Non-Partisan, the nationwide organization chose the Center of the Nation Memorial to announce itself. It says nature is one of the few things that connects everyone and that it deserves better than partisan bickering. Founder Benji Backer says Nature Is Non-Partisan was born out of that frustration.

Good news for people heading from Rapid City to Pactola - you no longer have to go out to Highway 16 or Sheridan Lake Road. Effective July 12, the road between Highway 44 and the Pactola Dam is back open, though construction work is still ongoing. Drivers can still expect reduced speeds between the dam and about a half-mile north of Silver City Road. The surface is loose gravel from the dam to the Pennington-Lawrence county line and will stay that way until paving is completed late next year.
