The Corson, Dewey, Meade, Perkins and Ziebach County FSA offices would like to keep you informed of the following items important to USDA programs.

Driving tour

A drive around Timber Lake will not disappoint, as the community is aglow with decorated homes and yards. AT LEFT is a home on the west side of town. BELOW is the home of Lyndsey and Frankie Ducheneaux on south Main Street. (They won third place in the Christmas decorating contest.)

Correction

The address for Donna Bertsch which appeared with her husband Marvin’s obituary in last week’s Topic (page 5) was incorrect. The address is 639 E. Michigan, Apt. G1, Spearfish, SD 57783.

Native small business grants available through Google.org

Calling Native-owned small businesses the “lifeblood” of many tribal communities, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) is offering business stabilization grants to those that have been severely impacted by the curtailing of commercial activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lights everywhere!
