Woonsocket

A new business has opened on Woonsocket’s Dumont Avenue. Rod and Tara Weber have added The Back 9 to their business complex. It is a business with the idea of entertainment for all ages in mind. The highlighted part of the new business is the two sports simulation bays for people to rent, but there’s also video lottery and a nice-sized bar that serves pop, water and malt beverages along with five flavors of pizza. There are two levels of seating with tables and chairs and bar stools overlooking the bay areas to watch what is happening. 

Both sports simulation bays have 32 games to choose from to play. Golf is one of those games, and there are 43 different golf courses for each player to choose to play. But there’s so much beyond golf. Examples of other games are bowling, soccer, baseball, football, horseshoes, bean bag toss, croquet, dodgeball, foot golf, basketball, hunting with a bow or guns, carnival games and more. For the golf games, they do have clubs for people to use, or customers can bring their own clubs in for practice.

The bays are rented by the hour for groups of four-six. Hours of operation are Monday and Thursday – 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday – 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesday – 1 p.m. to 11 p.m., Friday – 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday – 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday – noon to 6 p.m. Online booking for the bays is in the works, but for now, contact Megan at 605-796-4221 or send a message to The Back 9 Facebook page. There is truly something for all ages and all interests. Fun for everyone!

WOONSOCKET – Horizon Health Foundation recently received a $2,000 donation from Santel Communications in Woonsocket to support Horizon Health Care patients in need. The donation will fund 40 gas gift cards at $25 each and 40 grocery gift cards at $25 each to help a total of 80 patients in the Woonsocket community.

“In a rural community, practicing medicine involves so much more than physical health. Wellness involves protecting mental health, physical health, and providing resources to improve the quality of life to our patients,” said Katlyn Rostyne, CNP at Woonsocket Community Health Center. “Our community of Woonsocket continues to demonstrate an abundance of support to help us succeed in our mission to provide high quality care close to home. I want to personally thank Santel Communications for this generous donation going into the holiday season.”

Pictured is an image of the huge cloud of smoke that was created by the fire on the south side of SD Highway 34 last week. Traffic had to be controlled by law enforcement while fire fighters fought the blaze.

On Thursday, Oct. 13, a huge grass fire was sparked just a couple miles west of Woonsocket. With the incredibly dry weather the area has been currently experiencing, combined with the terribly windy day on Thursday, the conditions were just right for a fire to get out of control quickly. However, with the help of two other fire departments and some local farmers, the Town and Country Fire District of Woonsocket was able to contain the blaze into just one field and keep it from doing horrific damage. 

According to Town and Country’s Fire Chief, Travis Coulthard, what started the fire is still in question, but there was no machinery involved, as was reported by bystanders. The misconception of what was burning most likely came from the incredible amount of smoke that spewed from the flames. Coulthard credits this to the terribly dry conditions the area is suffering from right now. The smoke was so thick and massive, that traffic along SD Highway 34 was impeded and had to be controlled by members of the Sanborn County Sheriff’s Office, and the Woonsocket Elementary students who were out for recess had to be summoned back into the building due to the poor air quality the smoke was creating.
