Emerson Haisley, of Bruce Sign Co., works to tear down remnants of a billboard Friday on the south side of The Daily Republic building in Mitchell. Variations of the billboard have been on the side of the building for more than 20 years, but the sign was destroyed by the high winds that swept through the area May 5. Most of the billboard has now been removed, but further removal requires heavier equipment and a calm day. (Chris Huber/Republic)
