GETTYSBURG, S.D. (AP) – No one was hurt when a helicopter that was trying to take off from Bob’s Resort in Gettysburg ended up in a ditch.<\/p>\n

Potter County Sheriff Curt Hamburger tells KCCR radio that the helicopter clipped a power line, landed and skidded on a highway and came to a stop in the ditch. It happened about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n

HOTEL CRASH<\/p>\n

Sport utility vehicle crashes into Sioux Falls hotel lobby<\/p>\n

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – A woman was injured after an apparent medical problem caused her to crash her sport utility vehicle into the lobby of a Sioux Falls hotel.<\/p>\n

Police say the driver cut across several lanes of traffic and over a ditch before crashing into the building about 11 p.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n

No one inside the hotel was hurt. Police say the woman was taken to a hospital with injuries that are not believed to life-threatening.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate estimate on damage to the hotel.<\/p>\n

OBAMA HONORS TEACHERS<\/p>\n

Huron, Bon Homme teachers honored by Obama administration<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – Two South Dakota teachers are among 108 nationwide to be recognized by the Obama administration for their efforts in teaching math and sciences.<\/p>\n

Lindsey Brewer, a math teacher at Huron High School, and Janet Wagner, a science teacher at Bon Homme School, have received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.<\/p>\n

Winners get a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation to be used at their discretion.<\/p>\n

They’re also invited to Washington for an awards ceremony and several days of educational and other events, including visits with members of Congress and the Obama administration.<\/p>\n

The award is given annually to outstanding K-12 science and math teachers. The awardees named this week teach seventh through 12th grade.<\/p>\n

WORKFORCE CAMPAIGN<\/p>\n

South Dakota’s ‘Mars’ marketing campaign drawing job-seekers<\/p>\n

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – A workforce development campaign in South Dakota that sells the state as being better than the planet Mars is generating traffic to the state’s workforce website.<\/p>\n

The focus is a video about Mars. The final graphic reads: “South Dakota. Plenty of jobs. Plenty of air.” Officials say it’s a light-hearted approach to getting young people interested in moving to South Dakota, using the trending topic of colonizing Mars.<\/p>\n

It’s been lampooned by late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon. But the Argus Leader reports that since May 1, the state’s workforce website has been visited more than 15,000 times.<\/p>\n

Many visitors are from North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. Governor’s Office of Economic Development Marketing Director Mary Lehecka Nelson says officials are pleased with the results.<\/p>\n

ANTELOPE LICENSES<\/p>\n

More antelope licenses to be issued in South Dakota for 2015<\/p>\n

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – South Dakota wildlife officials will make available more antelope hunting licenses this year than in 2014.<\/p>\n

The Capital Journal reports that the Game, Fish and Parks Commission has decided on a total of 2,495 tags – an increase of 9 percent over last year.<\/p>\n

Antelope numbers in South Dakota have been declining since 2009 due to a string of three severe winters, but Big Game Biologist Andy Lindbloom says the drop-off has stabilized. Hunter success last year was 66 percent, compared with 48 percent in 2013.<\/p>\n

Biologists are still trying to determine why antelope populations haven’t rebounded with the last few mild winters. Lindbloom is working with South Dakota State University on projects aimed at getting a better understanding of the antelope population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
