Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton shrugged off calls to drop out of the race during a stop in Sioux Falls Thursday, saying “the more democracy we have, the better to get people involved.”
Clinton, speaking in an airport hangar, said the Democratic Party will be stronger as the process continues. It’s exciting that on June 3, the votes in South Dakota and Montana — the last presidential primaries — will count, she said.

Federal bureaucrats squared off with American Indians from South Dakota as a congressional committee heard testimony Thursday on legislation that would inject about $132 million into existing trust funds for the Lower Brule and Crow Creek Sioux tribes.
The U.S. House’s Subcommittee on Water and Power conducted a hearing on HR 155, the Lower Brule and Crow Creek Tribal Compensation Act, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin.
Gas prices are escalating. It’s true, and experts on all sides have weighed in on how cost will affect travel this summer.
In the midst of all the banter, however, a major travel company has made an announcement that is great news for South Dakota, a state where tourism is a $2.3 billion industry and one which relies heavily on those friendly passersby who frequent Interstate 90.
BOSTON — From time to time during this primary, I’ve wondered about Obama’s mama. In a race that was so much about biography, about beliefs rooted in her son’s “DNA,” she’s made only cameo appearances.
She was the “mother from Kansas” balanced alliteratively with the “father from Kenya.” Or she was the white parent whose genes combined with the black parent.
WASHINGTON — This year American consumers are expected to spend an average of $138.63 each on flowers, cards and gifts for Mother’s Day, for a grand total of $15.8 billion.
That’s a whole lotta hydrangeas.
Anna Jarvis never had such excess in mind when in 1914, her idea to honor mothers resulted in Congress passing a joint resolution establishing Mother’s Day.

Any Minnesota Twins fan that watches FSN North’s broadcasts of the team’s games on a regular basis can likely tell you how many complete-game shutouts color commentator Bert Blyleven threw in his major league career, because it comes up often.
The answer is 60, which is nearly an impossible number for a starter to approach today.
CHICAGO — Jermaine Dye homered for the third straight game and Juan Uribe added a go-ahead two-run drive in the fifth to help the struggling Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 6-2 on Thursday.
John Danks (3-3) made it through five innings, giving up six hits and two runs, and Chicago won for just the second time in nine games.
It was love at first flip. On a recent Saturday morning I curled up in an overstuffed chair and watched as big flakes of snow gradually formed a thick featherbed over the perennials in my garden. Foolishly believing it was spring, they had begun to peek out from the earth.
