Every year since 1968 the Dover Foundation has given scholarships to local students to help curb the rising cost of a secondary education. This year was no different, with the foundation giving $150,000 worth of scholarships to 11 Cleveland County students.
The foundation hosted its annual scholarship awards event last week at the Le Grand Center to recognize those students.

May is Archaeology & Historic Preservation Month in South Dakota.
Historic Preservation Month has been celebrated in South Dakota since it was established at the national level in 1973. The state added archaeology in 2005 to recognize it as a partner in historic preservation.
Ted Spencer, State Historic Preservation Officer, says South Dakota has identified thousands of archaeological and historical sites, historic buildings and landscapes throughout the state. He says public appreciation and understanding are the foundation of preserving the state’s past for future generations.
The State Historical Society would like to know what your favorite South Dakota historic site is, which will be shared on the Society’s Historic Preservation Facebook page. Send an email to shpo@state.sd.us or tag your own Facebook post using @southdakotashpo.
