Welcome to the Ortley Optic Online!
For years there was a newspaper in Ortley, South Dakota, called the Ortley Optic. Well, Ortley is still here, after nearly a century, and as we prepare for our town centennial in 2006, we are reviving the Optic as an online blog! Stay tuned for articles, columns, news items, and announcements of upcoming events!

To the editor:
Last weekend, March 4, the Rudebusch and Lee families gathered at B. J.'s Cafe in Ortley for a surprise party, to celebrate the 81st birthday of Marvel Catherine Rudebusch Lee. Marvel grew up in the Ortley area and her parents lived there for many many years so it was "a real homecoming" for Marvel.
All arrangements for the party were made by B. J.'s Cafe and I must say, my sisters and I were very impressed. From the lovely birthday decorations, to the beautiful cake to the delicious meal prepared for those who traveled, far and wide, to attend the party were all done in the best of "tastes"! The cake was amazing and the delicious meal was as good as any home cooked, festive holiday dinner.
A BIG thank you to everyone who attended the party, sent a card or called Mom. Thank you so much for remembering Mom on her special day.
My sisters and I say HAT'S OFF TO EVERYONE AT B.J.'s Cafe in Ortley! We all hope to attend the upcoming Ortley Celebration!
Thank you,

P.S.: B.J.'s Cafe is one of SD's best kept secrets, in our opinion! Have your tried their breakfast menu? And the cookies, they are OH SO GOOD! When I am near Ortley, I will drive out of my way to stock up! If you are planning a family gathering or civic event, we HIGHLY recommend B.J.'s Cafe.
