6 Broadcaster Press Minnesota Measles Outbreak Continues, Keep Immunizations Current PIERRE, S.D. – As a Minnesota measles outbreak nears 50 cases, a South Dakota health official urges state residents to make sure their immunizations are up to date. South Dakota reported its last measles cases in late 2014 when an outbreak centered in Mitchell sickened 10 state residents and four out-of-state residents. Prior to that outbreak, it had been 17 years since South Dakota reported a measles case. “The good news is that South Dakota’s overall immunization coverage rate for measles vaccination is high, which is why we were able to contain the 2014 outbreak with so few cases,” said Dr. Lon Kightlinger, state epidemiologist for the Department of Health. “Unfortunately, there are some pockets where rates are not as high as they should be and that opens the door for measles to spread.” He encouraged health care providers and parents to check their children’s immunization records to make sure they have the recommended two doses of MMR (mea- sles/mumps/rubella) vaccine – the first dose at 12 months and the second between ages 4 and 6. Kightlinger also asked health providers to be alert for measles in anyone presenting with fever, cough, runny nose and pinkeye followed by rash three to five days later. According to the latest National Immunization Survey, 94.1 percent of South Dakota’s 19-35 month olds have had one dose of MMR and 90.4 percent of teens 1317 years have had two doses. The department’s recent kindergarten survey shows 97.1 percent of kindergarten students in the state have had the recommended two doses of MMR vaccine. Three percent of the schools in the survey had 50 percent or fewer of their kindergarten students vaccinated with two doses of MMR. Those who have received two doses of measles vaccine or were born before 1957 are considered immune to the disease.” Learn more about measles under the disease tab at http://doh.sd.gov. 1345 www.broadcasteronline.com NOW HIRING By Gov. Dennis Daugaard The State of South Dakota impacts the lives of its citizens daily. We drive on roads maintained by the Department of Transportation. We enjoy parks and recreational areas operated by the Department of Game, Fish and Parks. Many in need receive help from the Department of Social Services. When people think about state government, though, I would bet most think about my role as governor or about the work of our legislators. It’s the elected officials who make headlines. On May 10, 2017, State Employee Recognition Day, I want the headlines to be about the real pride of the State of South Dakota: our state employees. More than 7,000 South Dakotans are public servants under my direction in the Executive Branch, and I am surrounded by some of the hardest working and most dedicated employees to be found in any organization. Their jobs range from administrative assistant to attorney and receptionist to registered nurse. Some of these positions are dangerous.

A team in the Bureau of Information and Telecommunications plays defense in a world war against hackers who attack our computer network daily. Just one infiltration could gain personal information of our citizens and lead to millions of dollars of expense. Every day I notice the pride with which the custodial staff in the Capitol Building clean, polish and maintain our hallmark state government building for citizens and visitors. During ‘Christmas at the Capitol,’ these dedicated people alter their schedules to water almost 100 trees throughout the building and to ensure the Capitol looks its best seven days a week. These are just a few examples of more than 500 different kinds of jobs held in state government. This week, in honor of State Employee Recognition Day, take a moment to recognize our state employees and thank them for their service throughout the year. No one is more invested in the future of South Dakota than the people who power it day-to-day. I hope you will share your appreciation with a state employee today.

The Ride of Silence is a free ride, hosted in cities worldwide, that aims to inform motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride also honors those who have been killed or injured.In 2003, Chris Phelan organized the first Ride of Silence in Dallas after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was hit by the mirror of a passing bus and was killed. Participating cyclists are asked to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. The Ride of Silence aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for and honor the lives of those who have been killed or injured. In September of 2016, Jared Fenstermacher had ridden through South Dakota and was just 23 miles into Iowa, on his cross-country ride to raise money for a cancer foundation when he was struck from behind by a distracted driver. He suffered broken bones in both arms, a concussion, and a severe spinal cord injury. The Club will also be hosting a supported ride on Saturday, May 20. After several tense years of dodging potholes, small crumbling shoulders and fast Nebraska drivers, the formerly Bunyan’s to Bob’s ride is now the Bunyan’s to Ben’s to Big River Burrito ride. Riders will gather at 8 a.m., and start at 9 a.m. from Bunyan’s Bar at the corner of Main Street and Highway 19. The ride will take two lane roads to Yankton for stops at Ben’s Brewery in downtown Yankton and at Big River Burrito overlooking the Missouri River and park, before returning to Vermillion. Helmets are required, and SAG will be available. ' 3 HDGOLQHV Classified Ads: Friday at Noon Display Ads: Friday at 11AM
