Be Cool Campaign off to a great start this winter
Rapid City, S.D. (KELO) — Our drop in temperatures this week impacted people all across KELOLAND. In Rapid City, organizations and churches worked together to help unhoused individuals deal with the frigid temperatures. After months of preparation, those involved in the Be Cool Campaign are seeing the positive results of communication and adapting from years past. 'What we're going through now in this winter, we have implemented lessons learned from years past. That's why where we're at right now we have better communication between all community partners than we've ever had in the past,' RCFD Mobile Medic Captain Ryan Marcks said. House defeats bill for new men's prison 'The patrolling efforts, people going out in the cold, who work for the city, who work in the community,our community partners such as Journey On, those providing the shelter, they're all working together. And the community needs to know, there is collaborative work happening right now and a lot of people in that space. And so we're very grateful for that,' Rapid City Mayor Jason Salamun said. The effort involved several community partners, including Journey On, which was out assisting the Mobile Medic helping those struggling in the cold. 'So a few years ago when we inserted Journey On into the equation, it opened up an entire new realm of possibilities. It really again is a force multiplier and benefits not just the city, not just the fire or not just PD, but everyone in the community,' Marcks said. Together, they are keeping everyone safe, no matter how low the temperature falls. As this cold front leaves, the organizations helping those in cold will now take this week's lessons and apply them to the next situation they'll run into. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

NASCAR rule book update outlines OEM penalties
NASCAR has added a section to its rule book outlining the penalty options that could be imposed on a manufacturer for rules violations. The ability to penalize OEMs was officially added to the rule book last month. That move was in response to the race manipulation that occurred among Chevrolet and Toyota drivers last fall at Martinsville Speedway. The controversy left NASCAR having to review the finish for nearly 30 minutes as teams stood on pit road to determine which driver made the Championship 4. The new section is 10.5.2.8 and is titled 'OEM penalties.' It states NASCAR reserves the right to penalize the OEMs or its representatives accordingly. It goes on to say that the examples provided are 'illustrative and not exhaustive,' offering clarity on the types and ranges of violations that might result in NASCAR action. OEM penalties may include, but are not limited to: Violations of the wind tunnel testing policy Violations of engine rules with respect to submitted parts Violations of restricted CFD (computational fluid dynamics) policy Violations of the vehicle testing policy Violations of the body submission process Violation of the performance obligation In its previous rule book addition, NASCAR stated that the penalty options included point deductions, loss of wind tunnel hours, loss of RCFD runs and loss of vehicle testing. Wednesday's rules bulletin further outlined those penalties. The points deduction could range from 25 to 50. The loss of wind tunnel hours ranges from 30 to 60. The loss of RCFD tests runs ranges from 250 to 500, and the loss of vehicle tests ranges from two to four. Additionally, the performance obligation refers to Section 5.5. which states, 'Any Member who attempts to improperly influence the outcome of the Event or encourages, persuades or induces others to do so shall be subject to penalties, as outlined in Section 10 Violations and Disciplinary Action. Prohibited actions include, but are not limited to, intentional planning or conduct that prioritizes objectives other than achieving the best possible competitive result for their team.'
