South Dakota Highway Patrol to conduct sobriety checkpoints in Codington County
The South Dakota Highway Patrol will conduct sobriety checkpoints in 14 counties throughout October. These checkpoints will take place in the counties of Beadle, Bennett, Brookings, Clay, Codington, Custer, Fall River, Jerauld, Lawrence, Marshall, Meade, Minnehaha, Pennington and Walworth, according to a release.
The monthly checkpoints are designed to discourage people from driving while impaired. The South Dakota Office of Highway Safety is funding the checkpoints, while the South Dakota Highway Patrol will conduct the checkpoints.
South Dakota Highway Patrol reminds drivers that impaired driving is never a good idea regardless of whether there is a checkpoint planned in their county or not. People who have been drinking are urged to designate a sober driver or take an alternate form of commercial or public transportation.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – Joining in across the country, wreaths are being laid today at the South Dakota Veterans Cemetery just north of Sioux Falls.
The effort is a partnership between Wreaths Across America and the Midwest Honor Flight, joining in the 5th Annual Wreaths Across America Day.
Over 640 wreaths are being placed today, and despite the snow and cold temperatures, today’s program went ahead as planned to honor those veterans and their families.

Families in South Dakota work hard. We sacrifice a lot and ask very little from the people who govern us. We expect honesty, careful budgeting, and leadership that puts our interests above politics.
In his recent budget address, our governor painted an incomplete picture. He celebrated good results but did not explain what and who made those results possible. South Dakotans deserve more than selective storytelling. We deserve the truth.
