Winds hinder cemetery Memorial Day preps
SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — Our blustery, wet weather is creating challenges at some cemeteries in KELOLAND that are preparing for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Sioux Falls' oldest cemetery is picking up branches that have been knocked down by the strong winds. Former deputy sheriff charged with rape after standoff The week prior to Memorial Day is always a busy time at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. 'Memorial Day weekend coming up is our Super Bowl here in cemetery-land,' Mount Pleasant Cemetery Executive Director Matt Gage said But the windy weather has forced Mount Pleasant to play catch up with some emergency landscaping. 'It's been a hard spring for us, Perry. This morning, we're dealing with tree branches everywhere from the winds last night. We're dealing with downed trees in the backgrounds,' Gage said. Gage says he'll have to cut down this tree was was split open by the wind. Placing flowers at the grave sites will have to wait until Tuesday, at the earliest. 'I have volunteers coming out to start on that tomorrow, even if I gotta put them in ponchos,' Gage said. The cemetery has ordered 93 memorial planters from Oakridge Nursery & Landscaping in Brandon. 'The annual planters we have were started usually around the end of March, first of April. We grow them in our greenhouses until they're ready to go outside. They'll come pick them up right before Memorial Day,' Oakridge Nursery & Landscaping Owner Daemon Coughlin said. Despite the weather-related setbacks, Gage is confident he'll have the cemetery ready for all the families who are honoring their loved ones who are buried here this weekend. 'To me, that's what's special about Memorial Day out here, is seeing those families interact, take care of their graves that their families have and reconnect with their past,' Gage said. Gage says he's hiring a team of professional mowers instead of having his staff take on the job all by themselves. He estimates less than half of the 50-acre cemetery has been mowed ahead of the holiday weekend. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

U.S. Bank Stadium is a trendsetter in the NFL
U.S. Bank Stadium is more than just a jaw-dropping place to watch a game — it's one of the most influential buildings in professional sports. Why it matters: If you've been inside, you know the feeling: bright, open and oddly warm, even during a Minnesota winter. The big picture: NFL franchises in these cities are using — or plan to use — the same translucent roofing material as U.S. Bank Stadium, called ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE). It costs much less than a retractable roof, provides an outdoor feel and, crucially, an enclosed stadium with 60,000-plus seats positions cities to host massive events like the Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four and Wrestlemania. What they're saying: With six NFL franchises following suit, Axios asked professor Tom Fisher of the University of Minnesota's College of Design if he feels U.S. Bank Stadium will be seen as a trendsetter the way Baltimore's Camden Yards and Cleveland's Progressive Field are in baseball. 'I think so," he said. "The feeling of being in daylight without the problems of being rained on, or snowed on, or being cold — I think it solves a lot of problems." Flashback: When the Vikings were weighing stadium designs, architecture firm HKS convinced them to skip a retractable roof — the popular choice at the time in places like Indianapolis and Arizona. Architect John Hutchings, then at HKS and now working for Overland Partners, said retractable roofs are usually only opened a few times a year, which is why his team pushed for ETFE. At the time, the translucent plastic material was growing in popularity overseas because it is strong, yet lightweight enough to span massive roof structures. It was most famously used in Beijing's Water Cube during the 2008 Olympics. Yes, but: With U.S. Bank Stadium being the first stadium to use it in the U.S., there were concerns about how the material would handle Minnesota's snow and whether people inside would be able to see the sky clearly after the ETFE was "fritted" to reduce the amount of solar energy coming into the stadium "We were pleasantly surprised when we started getting the ETFE installed and could see the white clouds," Hutchings said. Nick's thought bubble: I went to a Raiders-Vikings game at Allegiant Stadium a couple years ago and it felt very similar to U.S. Bank Stadium. Golden Valley-based Mortenson built both.

Beach Patrol raises concerns about rip currents ahead of Fort Lauderdale Air Show
Pilots spent Friday practicing death-defying stunts for the Fort Lauderdale Air Show this weekend. But, all the danger is not just above the water. "This is a Super Bowl of lifeguarding pretty much," said Beach Patrol Lt. David Ochoa. He called this weekend their busiest as tens of thousands of people will be on the beach for the air show. They're staffing like they would at the height of spring break. Last year, the water was calm, yet Beach Patrol gave more than 800 warnings about beach conditions. "On average, there is one lifeguard per tower, and then depending on the busier zones, we'll do two lifeguards per tower for this occasion, and at some towers, the busiest ones, for example, at Sunrise Boulevard, will do a triple," Ochoa said. Rip currents have been an issue for days — lifeguards gave a demonstration on what to do if you're caught in one. "The first thing you want to do when you're in a rip current is to wave for help," the demonstrator said. "If that doesn't work, float on your back, remember you can float a lot because of the salt, and try to swim towards the sand bar." The Ferro Family is visiting from Argentina because they're fans of the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds. It's their fourth time at the airshow. They know to stay close to a lifeguard tower. "We are aware of the sea and the dangers of the sea, so that's why we usually stay very close to them, to be to feel safer," said Matt Ferro. Lifeguards said if you're here with children, keep them close. "Please keep all children within arm's reach," Ochoa said. "Just remember the ocean is an uncontrollable environment, so we want to be aware of that."
