HOT SPRINGS – Dr. Dallas Wilkinson, of Vision Source in Hot Springs, recently returned from a medical mission trip to Mexico where he helped give the gift of sight to many.

HOT SPRINGS – Last Monday night’s April 8 regular meeting of the Hot Springs School Board featured an abbreviated 20-minute session open to the public, followed by an extended executive session to finalize some personnel matters which included the approval of contracts for certified staff and administrators.

Thus far, much of the progress in the Hot Springs Urban Reconstruction project has been noted by the addition of new features in the downtown area. On Monday, April 15, progress was noted by subtraction as the former Dale’s Family Restaurant was demolished to make way for a redesigned intersection of Battle Mountain Avenue and North River Street. The location at the north end of town near Evans Plunge has been home to a restaurant since 1973 when Cal Lowe operated one of his two cafes in Hot Springs. It was later purchased and taken over by the Boyd family in the late 70s and then the Phipps family in the 80s when it was known as Country Corner.
