Governor Daugaard declares April<br />
as Child Abuse Prevention Month<br />
Gov. Dennis Daugaard has declared<br />
April as Child Abuse Prevention<br />
Month in South Dakota,<br />
encouraging people in communities<br />
across the state to work together<br />
to keep children safe and<br />
offer the support families need to<br />
stay together.<br />
The Governor said all children<br />
in South Dakota have the right to<br />
live quality lives that are free<br />
from abuse and neglect.<br />
“I’ve seen firsthand the effects<br />
of child abuse and neglect during<br />
my experience at Children’s<br />
Home Society,” Gov. Daugaard<br />
said. “The South Dakota Department<br />
of Social Services is committed<br />
to helping future generations<br />
succeed. It is focused on ensuring<br />
the safety and well-being of all<br />
families and improving the lives<br />
of children in our state.”<br />
Individuals can be a part of the<br />
prevention process by:<br />
• Learning about the signs of<br />
child abuse and neglect. Educate<br />
yourself on the signs of child<br />
abuse and neglect, and be prepared<br />
to recognize them. Learn<br />
more about the common signs of<br />
abuse and neglect at<br />
www.dss.sd.gov/cps/protective<br />
• Asking for help if you need it.<br />
As a caregiver, there are many resources<br />
available to provide support.<br />
Common Sense Parenting<br />
classes are held throughout the<br />
state and cover topics ranging<br />
from reducing family stress to enriching<br />
relationships with young<br />
children. For more information on<br />
this program, visit<br />
www.dss.sd.gov/cps/parentingprogram<br />
•Offering a helping hand to<br />
friends and neighbors. Let parents<br />
know you are available and<br />
willing to talk, or offer to give parents<br />
a rest by taking care of the<br />
children. Volunteer your time to<br />
local community programs that<br />
provide support for families, such<br />
as after-school programs, athletic<br />
or church activities.<br />
•Reporting suspected child<br />
abuse and neglect. If you have<br />
reason to believe a child has been<br />
harmed or may be in danger, report<br />
it by contacting your local<br />
Department of Social Services office<br />
or local law enforcement<br />
agency.<br />
•Wearing a blue ribbon.<br />
Throughout the month of April,<br />
citizens are asked to wear blue<br />
ribbons or tie them to their vehicle<br />
antennas to spread the message<br />
of child-abuse prevention.<br />
The Department of Social<br />
Services’ Division of Child Protection<br />
Services has 20 offices across<br />
the state and serves every county.<br />
In addition to receiving and assessing<br />
reports of child abuse<br />
and/or neglect, the division connects<br />
parents with the needed resources<br />
to help increase their<br />
ability to keep children safe. For<br />

Black Hills traffic signals displaying flashing yellow arrows<br />
RAPID CITY, S.D. – The South<br />
Dakota Department of Transportation<br />
is advising motorists<br />
that newly installed traffic signals<br />
in Rapid City, Black Hawk,<br />
and Belle Fourche use the new<br />
flashing yellow arrow as part of<br />
the signal systems.<br />
A flashing yellow arrow means<br />
left turns are permitted, but drivers<br />
must first yield to oncoming<br />
traffic and pedestrians before proceeding<br />
with caution. The system<br />
replaces the solid green “ball” indication<br />
as a signal for motorists<br />
to proceed through an intersection.<br />
The solid yellow arrow means<br />
motorists should prepare to stop<br />
or complete left turns if already in<br />
the intersection.<br />
Flashing yellow arrow signals<br />
have already been installed at<br />
several locations in the Black<br />
Hills including Catron Boulevard<br />
in Rapid City, Peaceful Pines<br />
Road in Black Hawk, and on<br />
Highway 85 in Belle Fourche.<br />
Traffic signals displaying the<br />
flashing yellow arrow in the future<br />
are located at two intersections<br />
on Highway 16 in Custer<br />
and at two intersections on Jackson<br />
Boulevard in Rapid City.<br />
Those signals are expected to be<br />
operational later this year.<br />
The change to flashing yellow<br />
arrows is the result of a national<br />
study done for the Federal Highway<br />
Administration which<br />
demonstrated that the new signals<br />
help reduce left turn crashes<br />
by 35 percent.<br />
