TO MOVE COUNTY JAIL IS THE
MINNEHAHA
THE MINNEHAHA COUNTY JAIL IS
READY TO MOVE INMATES INTO ITS
NEWLY EXPANDED AREA.
THIS MORNING, FIND OUT WHY THOSE
INMATES MAY ENCOUNTER SANDBAGS
ON THEIR WAY TO THEIR CELLS.
PLUS, MEET THE SIOUX FALLS RED
CROSS WORKER, ON HER FIRST
DISASTER DEPLOYMENT, WHO SAYS
SHE'S WELL-PREPARED TO HELP
HURRICANE VICTIMS IN LOUISIANA.
GOOD MORNING.
THIS IS KELOLAND ON THE
GO.... WITH ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
IN NEWS AND WEATHER AS YOU START
YOUR WEEKEND.
WE ALSO HAVE A LONG LIST OF
BOREDOM BUSTERS... FIRST OUR TOP
STORY...
INMATES WILL BE MOVING INTO THE
NEWLY-EXPANDED AREA OF THE
MINNEHAHA COUNTY JAIL TODAY.
HOWEVER, THAT DOESN'T MEAN WORK
ON THE NEW ADDITION IS
COMPLETELY FINISHED.
DESIGNERS ARE WATCHING OUT FOR
THE POTENTIAL OF FLOODING IN THE
JAIL FOLLOWING A HEAVY RAIN.
JAIL OFFICIALS SAY FLOODING
HASN'T HAPPENED YET, BUT THEY'RE
USING SANDBAGS AS A PRECAUTION
AND ARE WORKING ON OTHER
PREVENTATIVE MEASURES WITH THE
DESIGN TEAM.
"IT'S A RUN-OFF ISSUE. SO WHEN
IT RAINS, THE WHOLE AREA THAT
DRAINS UP THE HILL FROM US ALL
KIND OF DRAINS DOWN THIS WAY.
SO, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE
HAVE OUR BASES COVERED TO KEEP
WATER WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO
BE," CHIEF DEPUTY JEFF GROMER
SAID.
THE MINNEHAHA COUNTY COMMISSION
IS EXPECTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON
THE JAIL EXPANSION THIS TUESDAY.
MORE SOUTH DAKOTANS ARE DEALING
WITH COVID-19 THAN EVER BEFORE.
THERE ARE NOW NEARLY 22-HUNDRED
ACTIVE CASES IN THE STATE.
STATE HEALTH OFFICIALS REPORTED
323 NEW POSITIVE CASES ON
FRIDAY. AS THE CASE COUNT
CLIMBS, SO DOES THE NUMBER OF
HOSPITALIZATIONS.
EIGHTY PEOPLE ARE HOSPITALIZED.
THAT'S THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF
HOSPITALIZATIONS SINCE JUNE.
"WE'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT
POSITIVE CASES WOULD GO UP,
WE'VE BEEN PLANNING ON THAT
SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. :23
WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN FOCUSED
ON IS THE HOSPITALIZATION
NUMBERS, WE'VE SEEN A LITTLE BIT
OF AN INCREASE IN THOSE AS WELL
BUT PREVIOUSLY FOR THE LAST
SEVERAL WEEKS THEY'VE BEEN
DECLINING. I THINK WE'RE EXACTLY
WHERE WE THOUGHT WE WOULD BE."
GOVERNOR NOEM SAYS THIS NEW
SPIKE IS SOMETHING THE STATE HAS
THE RESOURCES TO HANDLE RIGHT
NOW, BUT SHE AND OTHER STATE
OFFICIALS CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THE NUMBERS AND THE POTENTIAL
IMPACT THE RETURN TO CAMPUS AND
SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE COULD
BRING.
A SIOUX FALLS WORKER WITH THE
AMERICAN RED CROSS IS IN
LOUISIANA HELPING VICTIMS FROM
HURRICANE LAURA.
THIS IS REBECCA GIDDENS' FIRST
DEPLOYMENT TO A NATURAL DISASTER
SINCE SHE STARTED AT THE RED
CROSS LESS THAN A YEAR AGO.
SHE'LL SERVE AS A RED CROSS
AMBASSADOR TO THE VOLUNTEERS WHO
ARRIVE IN BATON ROUGE OVER THE
NEXT TWO WEEKS. EVEN THOUGH THIS
IS HER FIRST DISASTER RELIEF
ASSIGNMENT, SHE'S CONFIDENT OF
DOING A GOOD JOB.
"PERSONALLY, I'VE BEEN TAKING
ALL THE TRAINING IN STAFF
SERVICES SO THAT I KNOW WHAT TO
DO WHEN I GET DOWN THERE, HOW
THE PROCESS WORKS, CHAIN OF
COMMAND, AND THAT KIND OF THING
AND JUST MENTALLY AND
EMOTIONALLY PREPARING MYSELF AS
WELL BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL
PROBABLY BE DIFFICULT TO SEE THE
DEVASTATION AND WORKING WITH
CLIENTS AND VOLUNTEERS, A LOT OF
EMOTIONS AND STRESSFUL
SITUATIONS."
GIDDENS, AND OTHER RED CROSS
STAFFERS AND VOLUNTEERS, ARE
REQUIRED TO WEAR MASKS DURING
THEIR TIME IN LOUISIANA.
A RED CROSS VOLUNTEER FROM
REDFIELD HAS ALSO LEFT SOUTH
DAKOTA FOR LOUISIANA.
