Dennis Daugaard has proclaimed May as Archaeology & Historic Preservation Month in South Dakota. The month “acquaints the public with the disciplines of archaeology and historic preservation and strengthens the enduring bond between the past and the present,” Gov. Daugaard said in the proclamation. Historic Preservation Month has been celebrated in South Dakota since it was established at the national level in 1973. The state added archaeology in 2005 to recognize it as a partner in historic preservation. “South Dakota’s cultural heritage is rich and diverse as represented by thousands of archaeological and historical sites, historic buildings and landscapes that have been identified and recorded throughout the state,” said Jay D. Vogt, director of the South Dakota State Historical Society at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre. “Public appreciation and understanding is the foundation of preserving South Dakota’s past for future generations.” The 2018 theme for the month is “This Place Matters.” Vogt encourages South Dakotans to take an interest in locations that are special to them. People are invited to consider why their place matters and how it can be preserved for future generations. This year the State Historical Society sponsored a statewide essay contest for all students in the fourth grade, the year in which South Dakota history is taught. The purpose was to enable students to achieve a better appreciation of their historic resources, the stories they tell and why they should be maintained. Students were asked to write a 100400 word essay about any South Dakota location that is at least 50 years old, why it is a favorite place for them and why it should be saved. It did not need to be a historic site. Entries were judged on quality of writing, content and theme, and originality of thought. There were 50 entries from across the state. Winners of the contest were as follows. The first place winner was Makena Jutting from Tea Area Legacy Elementary School. Makena’s essay entitled “The Heart of Sioux Falls” was about Falls Park. She won a $100 cash prize and a one-year family membership to the South Dakota State Historical Society (a $50 value). Josie Spiering from Webster Area Elementary School took second place. The place that mattered to Josie was her grandparent’s farm in Day County. She won a $50 cash prize and a one-year family membership to the State Historical Society. Winning third place with a story about the Ingalls homestead in De Smet was Kyla Peskey from Holy Trinity Catholic School in Huron. Kyla won a $25 cash prize and a one-year family membership to the South www.missourivalleyshopper.com Visit our Web site at www.missourivalleyshopper.com Visit our Web site at www.missourivalleyshopper.com Visit our Web site at www.missourivalleyshopper.com www.missourivalleyshopper.com •Practice campfire safety by ensuring your fire is dead out before leaving the campsite •Keep the space around your home clear of dense vegetation •Take action in your community by organizing a wildfire preparedness event By doing a few basic home maintenance items now, you can significantly increase the chances your home has to survive a wildfire.

Dennis Daugaard has proclaimed May 2018 as Wildfire Awareness Month in the State of South Dakota. South Dakota has joined ten other western states in a separate multi-state proclamation. This year's theme, One Less Spark, One Less Wildfire, encourages the public to take simple steps to reduce the impacts of wildland fire. Every citizen, especially those living in fire-prone areas, has an important role in preventing loss of life and property from wildfire events. Residents in areas with a potential for wildfires can lower the risk and severity of wildfires and reduce deaths, injuries and property losses through their preparedness efforts. Proactive actions from a single individual, or entire neighborhood, contribute to a safer community when wildfires happen. Here are a few ways to prevent and prepare for wildfires: •Clean out gutters, roofs and other areas where debris has settled •Avoid burning on windy days and never leave a burn pile unattended •Maintain equipment to reduce sparks and check that trailer chains do not drag •Create an evacuation plan and practice the route with family members www.missourivalleyshopper.com • Roofing • Siding • Gutters • and MORE (605)857-1472 407 Ruth Street • Yankton, SD CASE IH 345 DISC HARROWS CASE IH 335 TURBO - TILLS MOST SIZES IN STOCK SET-UP - READY TO GO! *Special Price & Terms* 345 Disc Harrows- 28+31ft 335 Turbo - Tills - 22- 31 - 34 ft 20% OFF - Plus! - 0% - 3 Years USED EQUIPMENT PLANTING Case-IH 1250 – 16 RN – FRoNt Fold Case-IH 1200 PIvot 16 RN – FeRtIlIzeR KINze 3600-16 RN - PIvot – NICe KINze 2000-8RN-No tIll - FeRtIlIzeR JoHN deeRe 1770 – 24R30 - FRoNt Fold JoHN deeRe 1770-16RN - FRoNt Fold JoHN deeRe 1770 aNd 7200 – 8RW 2006 Case-IH 12R20-1200 - PIvot Case-IH 1200-8RN - Pull tyPe Case-IH 5400 soybeaN sP dRIll/CaRt WHIte 8200-12RN-FRoNt Fold – sHaRP TILLAGE 2015 suNFloWeR 1436-29 Ft. dIsC Case-IH tGII 34 Ft. & 26 Ft.
