PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - About 150 cadets from the U.S. Air Force
Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., are coming to South Dakota to
help with flood cleanup.
The cadets will travel by bus to Pierre-Fort Pierre. Pierre Parks Director Tom Farnsworth says they
will help with sandbag removal and other cleanup efforts in both
private and public areas on Friday and Saturday.
South Dakota's capital city and neighboring Fort Pierre were
threatened by Missouri River flooding this summer. Emergency levees
helped limit damage, and the floodwaters have since receded.
