Celebrate July 4 Safely

Celebrate July 4 Safely
“Rock the Bluffs” Fireworks Show Scheduled for Saturday Night
Erin Walti/Sun

With the upcoming July 4 holiday, the local authorities want to remind everyone to celebrate in a safe, responsible manner.

The City of Chamberlain and the Town of Oacoma share the same ordinance when it comes to the shooting of fireworks. People are not allowed to shoot fireworks with allowances from June 27 through July 5. People can only shoot fireworks from 10 am to 10 pm on those days, except for July 4, when people can shoot from 10 am to midnight.

While city residents are limited on when and where they can celebrate with fireworks, rural residents in Brule County are not. The county does not have any permanent restrictions or ordinances in place. However, Brule County Auditor Pam Petrak did note that the county can enact some temporary restrictions.

Four Courners Pummel the Mallards

Four Corners pummels the Mallards
Janice Mosel

HAYES – It was one of those days that baseball wasn’t much fun, at least for the Mallards. Four Corners handed the visitors a 25-0 pounding in Pony Hills League play Sunday afternoon, June 28.

“Welcome to Amateur Baseball,” Coach Roger Randall said, midway through the beating.

Four Corners was running on all nine cylinders, all nine players had at least one hit for extra bases. The Ducks couldn’t get a spark going anywhere, with only 17 plate appearances producing two runners.

New Home for Worship Underway

New Home For Worship Underway
Erin Walti/Sun

Members of the Calvary Baptist Church will soon have a new place to gather and worship. The congregation is building a new church at 202 Eagle Avenue in Chamberlain.

The church is being built by Ryan Baker Construction out of Mt. Vernon. Construction started in the Fall of 2008 and is hoped to be done by September, although members acknowledge that it may be as late as spring before functions can be held. When the building is complete, it will include a fellowship hall and two rooms for Sunday School, as well as a kitchen and entry area.

The building is funded almost entirely by private donations from members of the church. Pastor Duane Earwood, who is a mission pastor from Georgia, said a very small amount of money came from other churches, but the vast majority of funds came from the church's members. That local support is very much appreciated by Earwood, who has one simple mission for the church.

“Our goal here is to just preach the gospel,” said Earwood.

The church will be a welcome change for the entire congregation, who now meet in the garage of Earwood's home. Space grew increasingly tight, as there are normally about 40 to 50 regular attendees for each service. Those attendees come from as far away as Kennebec and Lake Andes to participate in worship.

Leanne Larson, a member of the church, said that the church will be especially nice for youth group meetings, as well as regular meetings. “We're so excited to hold it [youth group meetings] in our own building,” said Larson.

The church first began in January of 2006 in the living room of Nina Stephens, who was one of the original thirteen charter members. By January of 2007, the church was constituted and now holds three meetings per week. The church is independent of any denomination and is self-governing. There are 14 other churches around the state that are also self-governing.
