If you're ready for the full solution, here's the breakdown of all four correct groups: Yellow group – Gymnastics apparatus Words: BARS, BEAM, RINGS, VAULT These are all apparatuses used in gymnastics, especially in women's and men's artistic competitions.

NOPE opposes more prison sites; task force reacts
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Neighbors Opposing Prison Expansion, or NOPE, opposed a site for a new men's prison in Lincoln County between Harrisburg and Canton, a site that's no longer under consideration. The group is now sharing support for construction at existing facilities. 'Right now we're just looking at taking away information from the discussions of the task force, the studies that have been conducted. And we're just really pushing for any current facilities to be looked at, to be remodeled, updated and made ready. So really, we're not in favor of them building or duplicating any services in Worthing,' said Maddie Voegeli, vice president of NOPE. SF police searching for parolee wanted for a shooting She has similar concerns with Mitchell. 'It would just be too costly,' Voegeli said. 'And there are other ways that we can spend the $600 million that would be much better options for those incarcerated and their families.' Existing DOC facilities as well as the Mitchell and Worthing area sites remain under consideration. Task force members Erin Healy and Greg Jamison are sharing how they feel about possible sites following their latest meeting last week. 'I would say there was more discussion surrounding Mitchell because a lot of Mitchell leadership was there,' Healy said. 'Less on Worthing. But Worthing, of course, is always going to be a point of interest because it is a strong site. It was the, I believe, the number three site location on our consultants' list.' 'The Worthing site probably has a better opportunity of success,' Jamison said. 'Mitchell's just too far away from Sioux Falls and all the employees who work here, who are then going to be required to kind of move there or commute, there is a problem.' 'I've always been hesitant to choose Mitchell,' Healy said. 'I believe that they might not have all of the workforce development necessary in order to host a penitentiary.' The task force has already unanimously voiced support for replacing the state penitentiary. The state legislature will eventually hear about the group's recommendations, whichever direction they go. 'The state still has an obligation to create a prison system and manage it in the best interest of its people,' Jamison said. Project Prison Reset's task force has endorsed a plan that includes fifteen to seventeen hundred beds with a maximum cost of 600 million dollars. Both Healy and Jamison, however, question if that price cap is realistic. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

SD's Project Prison Reset: What's next
PIERRE, S.D. (KELO) — Project Prison Reset's task force in South Dakota has started to mold their specific recommendations: 1,500 to 1,700 beds at a maximum cost of $600 million located at existing Department of Corrections facilities or proposed locations in the Worthing, S.D. or Mitchell, S.D. areas. 'This is not final action,' task force member and Republican state lawmaker Jon Hansen said Tuesday. 'This is not anybody agreeing to a final plan. This is just getting these options on the table, show us what we can do within the constraints that we're setting forth, and hopefully we have something that we can agree upon, particularly as a legislature on two-thirds' vote.' NOPE says yep to Project Prison Reset's site selection Eventually, the plan is for the entire state legislature to learn about what the task force recommends. And, of course, what the House and Senate decide to do with that information will be their decision. JE Dunn Construction was a contractor for the project with a guaranteed maximum price of $825 million that failed to receive legislative approval in February, and they continue to work with the state. Now, options for consideration in the near future are top of mind. 'So our next meeting is in five weeks,' Lt. Gov. VenHuizen and task force chair said Tuesday. 'Do you think you can have that in five weeks?' 'We will have a version that, yes, we can talk through,' Vance McMillan, senior vice president of the justice group at JE Dunn, said in response Tuesday. 'To say that it's going to be complete, I can't give you that commitment 'cause there's too many options on the table. There will be some options that we can bring to the table, but to say that it would be the one, like I said, that solves all the problems, I can't give you that commitment. If I was nervous about anything, it's the bed count.' The project that failed to get legislative approval in February was designed to last 100 years. 'To get to your dollar amount, we're going to have to look at all options,' McMillan said. 'So, we're going to come in with things that do not meet 100-year building facility. I'm just going to be honest with you.' And, as McMillan says, as 100 becomes 50, pricier challenges will eventually be on the horizon. 'You're going to solve the problem now, but you're kicking a can that you're going to have another problem in 40 years, 50 years, and you're going to go, have to go build something again, and it's going to be twice as expensive then,' he said. Project Prison Reset's task force has already endorsed replacing the aging South Dakota State Penitentiary. Their next meeting is scheduled for July 8. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

NOPE says yep to Project Prison Reset's site selection
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Project Prison Reset's task force in South Dakota has endorsed a plan that rejects a proposed site for a new prison in Lincoln County. The decision is a victory for a group that opposed the construction of a new facility between Harrisburg and Canton. The long fight is over for Kyah Broders and Michelle Jensen, NOPE board members.A new state prison will not be built on this Department of Corrections-owned land near their homes. 'Nothing has really set in yet, other than I'm over the moon that the legislators and our governor obviously brought forth this whole reset process,' said Broders. Former mayor back in court for triple homicide 'It was a big day yesterday and it does it feels great to know that all this hard work all this time, the efforts that it is actually paying off,' said Jensen. The two are part of a group of friends and neighbors who got together and made their voices heard. The group formed a non profit, grew to 12 hundred members, lobbied lawmakers, raised legal funds, educated themselves and fought hard. 'This battle was tough; it was emotionally draining. It was time-consuming. I mean, we all have jobs during the day,' said Jensen. It's clear to them that improvements need to be made in the prison system, but the process needs to remain open. Both Broders and Jensen applaud lawmakers and the new governor, Larry Rhoden. 'It's been a more transparent process, which is how I think all facts of the government should work,' said Jensen. And they are grateful to the hundreds of people who made their opposition to the proposed prison effective. 'It's definitely been a group effort, it's amazing to know that you can make a difference with your voice but you have to get involved and you have to stay involved,' said Broders. Locations in the Mitchell and Worthing areas are possible spots for a future DOC facility or facilities. The task force has also endorsed the possibility of building at current department facilities, which include locations in Sioux Falls and Springfield. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

SF woman sees positive change after elimination diet
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — 47-year-old Brandee Helmich eats mostly whole foods these days. 'I eat pretty clean,' Helmich said. The lifestyle changes come after Avera helped the Sioux Falls woman undergo an elimination diet, a way to pinpoint food sensitivities. State Supreme Court hears NOPE case Tuesday Helmich lives with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and deals with pain and inflammation. 'Had gained a lot of weight with the medications I was on, not being able to be mobile, at one point I was pretty much in a wheel chair and decided I wanted to take a more natural approach and see if that would help with flare-ups and weight and kind of how I felt,' Helmich said. Through the elimination diet, Helmich cut out several foods, including processed foods, and noticed results right away. 'For me, in the first three weeks, my inflammation pretty much went away,' Helmich said. As she started adding foods back in, she found out what her body doesn't tolerate well. 'I found for instance dairy and gluten caused me a lot of pain, inflammation, and flare-ups almost immediately. Now that I've been on it for a while I can go lactose free instead of no dairy completely,' Helmich said. Dr. Dawn Flickema with Avera Functional and Integrative Medicine says elimination diets are a pretty common tool to use with patients. 'Initially, this was really a kind of difficult thing for me to ask patients to do because I do think changing what you eat is probably one of the hardest lifestyle changes to make, but then clinically, we see so much benefit with patients making food changes that it's become a lot easier thing to counsel,' Flickema said. While Helmich says the elimination diet wasn't easy, it was worth it. 'I still have flare-ups. I'm always going to have a chronic illness, but I have tools to manage it now,' Helmich said. Helmich says she has also decreased the amount of medications she's taking. She says one way she stays on track with her eating plan is meal prepping. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
