The need for a new EMS facility in Redfield is the top priority for Michael Sanger, Ambulance Director for Spink County Ambulance. Sanger is leading the effort to raise funds to retain what most believe to be an essential service to the community. Since the EMS service was established in Redfield in the early 1970s, its size, value and need have increased without any proactive approach to building an integrated facility, like you’d have with a police station or a fire hall. Sanger believes the current state of EMS in Redfield makes it increasingly difficult to retain and recruit volunteers...

Dr. Waldner's Career Path Leads Home to Redfield

Monday, November 30, 2020

Career choice is a matter of determination. We don’t often know at a young age what we want to be when we grow up. Our career choices are like that feather floating in the air at the start of the movie Forest Gump. It will land someplace, but we’re not quite sure where it will land. This was not the case for young Randall Waldner as he was growing up in Redfield, South Dakota. He knew where he wanted his feet to land, and at an early age he began putting himself in a position to make that dream happen...

New Doland School Opens 2020 Fall Season

Friday, October 30, 2020

The hallways of Doland school echoed with the voices of generations of students, including a young Hubert H. Humphrey, whose father was town mayor and owned a local pharmacy. The stairs were worn smooth from thousands of youthful feet running up and down them. Memories like these can’t be replaced, but over time, the three main buildings that cobbled together the Doland public school were showing their age. The cracks and creases of time could not be erased with simple repairs, the walls and windows leaked heat out into the cold winter air, and times had changed so that th...

Redfield Depot Reconnects the Past with the Present

Monday, August 03, 2020

The development of the telegraph in the 1830s revolutionized the way the world communicated. A nomenclature of dots and dashes was created representing each letter of the alphabet so that a “telegrapher,” using a telegraph key, could tap out a brief message that could be sent over a wire connected to another station almost instantly. It was a mind-blowing innovation that immediately changed long-distance communication. The thin, taut copper lines naturally followed the railroads. By the 1870s the telegraph had reached the Territory of Dakota, connecting the eastern industrial empire with one of the last regions to be settled wes...

For the Love of the Game

Thursday, April 09, 2020

“Ball in the summer has always been big in Redfield for as long as I grew up,” said Brent Osborn, one of four brothers to start on the same team. “My dad played fast pitch softball, which kept us kids all you know involved, watching him play and then getting our games together. We went through the little league and then played college baseball. My mom played softball. Ball was very ingrained in everybody in the area it seemed like. Everybody played.” Former Redfield DQ pitcher Lonni Stover, taking a break from fixing a fence, agrees. “I just think i...
