Does the long arm of the law finally have a head lock on O.J. Simpson? It would appear so after the former football star’s latest demonstration of his belief that the law doesn’t apply to him. This time, O.J. got caught on audio tape as he and a couple of other thugs went to retrieve some O.J.…
No matter what Brookings Radio host, Grant Peterson says, I do not put myself in the category of “legend” in the broadcasting business..but I know and worked with a few people who are and on Friday we got a chance to sit together in the sunshine sharing stories, laughter and all the Nick’s hamburgers we…
Look out world, the Big News Team is on the loose and on the air..one more time! Ever since I retired..gosh, nearly a year ago already, Grant Peterson, a longtime broadcaster himself, has been after Steve Hemmingsen, Dave Dedrick and me to come on his radio program and reminisce about our years together at…
Well, here it is another Patriot Day. What does the government think I should I be doing to commemorate 9-11..the reason Patriot Day was created? Should I pause a moment to remember the three thousand killed by terrorists six years ago? I don’t need anybody to tell me to do that. Should I make sure…

One of Sioux Falls most popular eating establishments just won’t be the same after next February. Carolyn Downs, executive director of “The Banquet” for the past 20 years, is retiring. Keloland’s Lou Raguse did a nice story on her the other day but it’s hard to sum up the career of a person like…
Kevin and Tina didn’t have to use a computer dating service to find out if they were right for each other, they knew as soon as they met a year and a half ago on the campus of South Dakota State University…probably at the fitness center. Sports was their common denominator and both were already…
Sometimes when I have a hard time falling asleep, I close my eyes and imagine that I had just won the Powerball Lottery Jackpot and 300 million dollars. Oh, man…what would I do with all that money? I know it’s not very Christian to have such fantasies, “the love of money being the root…
It couldn’t have happened at a better time. My kid brother, Tom, and his wife from New Jersey (ya gotta problem with that?) were coming back to South Dakota for 9 whole days. That would mean lots of time for lots of golf..and I was ready. My older brother, Denny, is just starting to heal…
