Traversing the trails of life together

Published by admin on Wed, 02/14/2024 - 10:09am
Sometimes you just need to take a hike. That is how Mikal and Colleen Lewis got to know each other. Today they still enjoy hiking together, and they recommend that young couples do it too. 
Mikal grew up in Ohio and moved to the Hills in 1973 shortly after the Rapid City Flood. He worked as a salesman on the road selling caulking, silicone and adhesives and had four children from his “first life.”

Granite Sports is now a local location to recycle unwanted sneakers and shoes. 
Customers will see the prominent Sneaker Impact recycle box towards the back of the store, in the footwear section.
Darcy Ferebee of Granite Sports learned about the recycling opportunity at a trade show in Austin. She saw two booths offering the same opportunities and chose  Sneaker Impact because it accepts all types of shoes for recycling not just sneakers.  “ We have a lot of people buy new pairs of shoes and they leave them here and we just had to throw them away.”

Chasing a dream: Brady Chase qualifies for Boston Marathon

Published by admin on Wed, 02/14/2024 - 9:12am
Not many people can say they qualified for the Boston Marathon. Fewer still can say they qualified for it in their first marathon, but that is exactly what Brady Chase did. 
Chase graduated from Black Hills State University in 2018 and started teaching at Hill City Elementary School immediately after. Currently, he teaches third grade and coaches middle school girls basketball and middle school track. 
“When I started doing the middle school coaching for track, I kind of fell back in love with running,” said Chase.
