Most churches in the Custer area suspended their Sunday public gatherings as early as March 15 after Gov. Kristi Noem called for schools to close statewide.

For Martha and Bob Schilling, it’s all over. Their careers at Lynn’s Dakotamart spanning a combined total of more than 25 years have ended, and from here on out, it’s seven-day weekends for the couple.
Bob is anxious to fish.
“Oh, our retirement party?” he said. “That’s three hours I could be fishing.”
Martha said he might have to wait a bit before he gets out there, as he’s not an ice fisherman. In the meantime, he has some other projects to keep him occupied.
