SPEARFISH — Dinosaurs and cowboys don’t necessarily cross paths in the popular imagination, but they have always shared territory in South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming.

SPEARFISH — Before the Spearfish rec center was a community gathering place, gym, and waterpark, it was a Walmart. During its conversion from retailer to rec center in the late 2000s, the building’s rooftop heating and cooling units were not replaced.

However, inspectors will not certify a piece of equipment that is more than 25 years old. It turns out, at least part of the bucket truck that the city purchased in 2009, is past that age limit. “We can’t get it certified, we can’t use it. It’s not safe.
