Mental Health Push: May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and South Dakota groups are using it to normalize tough conversations, point people to local resources, and flag crisis warning signs. Local Care Hiring: CHI Health Missouri Valley added therapist Brandon Jerred to expand mental health and substance-use treatment. Community Forums & Voting: In Newell, a Butte County candidate forum covered races and deadlines, including the May 18 voter registration cutoff and how absentee voting works. Rapid City Temple Rendered: The LDS Church released first exterior renderings for a new Rapid City temple—its first in South Dakota—planned for a Mount Rushmore Road site. Gas Tax Debate: GOP governor candidate Jon Hansen floated a state gas tax holiday; opponents say it’s a gimmick that could threaten federal highway money. Sports & Summer Plans: Stevens won a Rising Star scholarship; Rapid City’s Raider Park Family Day returns with entry-level mountain biking; and Sioux Falls is set to launch girls flag football this fall through a Vikings-backed partnership.
