Debate is ramping up about redefining history

Gov. Kristi Noem announced she has asked the South Dakota Board of Regents to set policies that preserve certain educational curriculum in the state s universities.

Much of the current debate started with something called the 1619 project created by the New York Times magazine. The number 1619 comes from the date when a slave ship first arrived at Virginia from Africa. The New York Times said, No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the years of slavery that followed. It is finally time to tell our story truthfully.

We all need to watch out for ransomware

While a cyberattack on an East Coast pipeline company may seem distant to us in Lake County, it does give us a stark example of something that could happen here. Colonial Pipeline Co., which operates a 5,500-mile pipeline that delivers 45% of the gasoline and jet fuel supplied to the U.S. East Coast, said Friday that it had been the victim of a ransomware attack. The criminals get inside an organization s computer system and lock it up, or threaten to make confidential data public, demanding a ransom payment to allow the organization to use its computers again. In this case, Colonial quickly took certain systems offline to contain the threat. The company said those actions temporarily halted all pipeline operations and affected some of our IT systems, which we are actively in the process of restoring.
