The new Dakota Beacon is out and, as always, it’s a good one. If you haven’t checked out the Beacon, I invite you to do so – it’s free! They’re available at many locations. I’ve seen dispenser boxes in front of the Post Office on 3rd and Rosser, by the Denny’s restaurant, and at counters of local convenience stores. Once you read it, you’re likely to send editor/publisher Steve Cates a check for $20 to keep ’em coming to your home. At least you ought to, unless you enjoy being a freeloader!

This is the third episode of the Beacon to use one of my photos on the cover. Sweet! I’m glad I can help out Mr. Cates, as I know the Beacon is his passion just like taking pictures and posting them here is a passion of mine. I also appreciate having my work appear with that of local authors I admire, many of whom are respected educators in the Bismarck-Mandan area.
