Gov. Kristi Noem told South Dakota s tourism industry on Monday to prepare for a strong rebound this summer, following effects of the coronavirus pandemic on nationwide travel (see story in Tuesday s Daily Leader).
The governor said the state would try to help tourism-oriented businesses hire enough workers for the summer season. She said the state usually focuses exclusively on bringing more people to the state but that the Department of Tourism and Department of Labor and Regulation will provide assistance in getting enough people to work in the industry this year.
We re glad to see the optimism after the economic downturn of the last year. Lake County depends greatly on tourism, even though we often think of large-scale tourism like visiting Mt. Rushmore, the Sturgis Bike Rally or highly publicized events in other cities.

BROOKHAVEN, Miss. (AP) A government building and a section of highway in a Mississippi city were officially renamed during a ceremony Monday to honor law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty.
A Brookhaven post office was renamed to the Deputy Donald William Durr, Corporal Zach Moak and Patrolman James White Memorial Post Office Building and a section of Hwy. 51 in front of the city s police department headquarters was renamed to the Corporal Zach Moak and Officer James White Memorial Highway.
A plaque with the post office’s new name was set to be added to the building, and signs were already placed at both ends of the highway, The Daily Leader reported.
The Daily Leader sent a series of questions to the three candidates running for two seats on the Madison City Commission, dealing with issues currently faced by city commissioners and issues that they may face in the future.
Jeremiah Corbin, Robert Thill and Kelly Dybdahl are the candidates appearing on the ballot in the April 13 city commission election.
Their responses are published this week in the order the candidates appear on the ballot.
According to Thill, who is a lifelong Madison resident, the city is a great place to live, work and raise a family. He and his wife Mary have raised three children Kristin, Nathan and Amy and also have five grandchildren. Thill is retired and was previously employed for 40 years with the Madison Public Works Department. He retired as a department foreman.

According to Corbin, the city needs to stay on course with making upgrades to its utility systems, especially its water and wastewater systems. The utilities are mostly out of sight since they are installed underground, but Madison residents have expectations that they will function properly when they are needed.
