   The Marshall County snow queens continued to see success at this past weekend’s state festival in Aberdeen. This time, the senior candidates got their chance to shine, and one local queen was chosen for the queen’s court.
   Britton Area Snow Queen Jayden Bender was chosen as the second runner-up on Saturday. Jayden is a senior at Britton-Hecla High School and is the daughter of Tammy and Jason Bender of Britton.
   Olivia Hadrick of Faulkton was crowned as the 2024 South Dakota Snow Queen. Other members of the queen’s court included first runner-up Morgan Sumption of Frederick Area. Miss Congeniality was awarded to Faith Fliehs of Groton Area.
   Langford Area was well-represented by Megan Gustafson, the daughter of Jennifer and Joe Gustafson of Claremont. Megan had initially tied for Miss Congeniality though the award was given to Miss Groton after a run-off.
   Last week, Britton Area Junior Snow Queen Mataya Knecht earned first runner up in the junior state festival.

Poll: REGIONS FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE? A legislative task force is considering a plan to organize South Dakota’s ambulance services into eight to 14 regions, potentially with state oversight and funding to help keep emergency medical services sustainable. The proposal comes as many ambulance services face financial challenges, low reimbursement rates and an aging, often volunteer workforce. Lawmakers say the goal is to ensure an ambulance can respond when someone calls 911, but establishing the regions and determining how they would be funded could take years. Do you support creating regional ambulance service systems with state oversight and potential state funding?

Yes, regional systems could help ensure reliable ambulance service.

No, ambulance services should remain organized locally.

Unsure. I would need more information about how it would work.
