A LARGE crowd enjoys the delicious food and good company at the soup and sandwich supper in the church basement.

Halloween this year was a very cold, but exciting night for any kids who decided to trick-or-treat in Woonsocket. Every year there are car loads of kids running all over town to collect candy from very pleasant and obliging residents who enjoy seeing all the creative costumes and the joy on the little faces.
Regardless of the cold temperatures, this year was no exception. However, the children of Woonsocket had a little more to enjoy than the young people in other towns.
Last year, Kathy McWhorter, whose husband Pete owns a carnival ride company named McWhorter Entertainment, handed out bags of cotton candy to trick-or-treaters, and after 150 bags, she ran out, so this year, she was determined to not have that happen again, so she and Pete, along with some helpers, set up their cotton candy stand and gave away the well-loved sweet treat and popcorn from the comfort of their little building.
In addition, Pete decided to do one better than that, and since their merry-go-round needed a little painting and upkeep work done to it, he decided to make it a special night for the trick-or-treaters of Woonsocket and gave free rides on the ever-popular carnival ride, as well.
What an amazing thing to have their company in town so the young people of Woonsocket can enjoy some rare Halloween entertainment in a small town in South Dakota.
PIERRE – The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) Commission finalized a set of standards for landowners to follow when marking nonmeandered water over private property.
House Bill 1001 requires the department to establish specific standards for markers used to indicate closure of nonmeandered waters to recreational use. The Commission passed the following rules:
• Nonmeandered water closures shall be marked with buoys or department-supplied signs.
• Signs and buoys must be placed no further apart than 660 feet.
• Signs and buoys shall be installed so they are conspicuous.
• Buoys shall be of polyform design.
• Buoys shall be red with contrasting three-inch minimum letters stating: “Closed.”
• Buoy size shall be a diameter of not less than 14.5 inches and a length of not less than 19.5 inches.
• Signs and buoys are to be installed, removed and maintained by the owner or their designee of the private property.
• Property corner boundaries located in the water must be marked by signs or buoys.
Any landowner who wishes to close the water overlying their flooded land on a nonmeandered water body must mark the water as closed to recreational use and notify the Department within a reasonable time of doing so. Any landowner who wishes to restrict access on a Section 8 nonmeandered lake must petition the GFP Commission to request such closure.
