Broadcaster Press 5 September 8, 2015 www.broadcasteronline.com Gov. Daugaard Challenges Board To Raise Habitat Conservation Funds; Pledges To Match Fundraising Goal PIERRE, S.D. – Gov. Dennis Daugaard issued a challenge last week to the South Dakota Habitat Conservation Board to raise $1 million more in private money for habitat conservation. The Governor pledged to match the donations for the South Dakota Habitat Conservation Fund with $1 million in state funds, if the group can meet the goal. “Habitat conservation is important in South Dakota. Through these efforts, we conserve our land, enhance our wildlife population and preserve our outdoor traditions,” Gov. Daugaard said. “With privately raised funds, the $1 million dollar challenge grant and the funding provided by the Legislature last legislative session, we can begin a new legacy of habitat conservation in South Dakota.” The South Dakota Habitat Conservation Fund was established in November 2014 as a result of the Governor’s Pheasant Habitat Work Group. The Fund provides a permanent funding source for wildlife habitat work in South Dakota. Private donors have contributed a total of $425,000 to the Fund in the last year and state government has dedicated $350,000. The Board would need to raise an additional $1 million in private donations to meet the Governor’s challenge. “We are grateful for Gov. Daugaard’s offer to match donations to the habitat conservation fund,” stated Jeff Scherschligt, board president. “We intend to do all we can to rise to this challenge and secure $1 million in private donations to meet the goal.” The Governor made the announcement at the South Dakota Habitat Conservation Board’s first meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 26. Gov. Daugaard recently established the Board to raise money for habitat conservation and administer habitat conservation programs. The 15 board members met in Pierre to approve bylaws, elect officers, assign term limits and discuss communica- tions, financial reporting and the facilitation of two grant programs. The Board will use Fund dollars to award grants to eligible nonprofit organizations that improve or create wildlife habitat in South Dakota. The Board has established two grant categories: small grants from $5,000 and $40,000 and large grants from $40,000 to $100,000. Requests for project proposals will be announced at the end of September and applications will be accepted for consideration from Oct. 1 to Nov. 30, 2015. The Board will hold its next meeting in late October to discuss communications and fundraising strategies. An additional meeting will be held in December to vote on project proposals for funding. Grant awards will be announced by Dec. 31, 2015. Individuals serving on the new South Dakota Habitat and Conservation Board include: •Jeff Scherschligt of Sioux Falls, president •Bob Roe of Brookings, vice president •Steve Halverson of Pierre, secretary/ treasurer •Doug Balvin of Huron •Tony Bour of Harrisburg •Dr. Barry Dunn of Brookings •Barry Grossenburg of Winner •Christine Hamilton of Kimball •Tim Kessler of Aberdeen •Scott Lawrence of Sioux Falls •Les Lindskov of Isabel •Delon Mork of Madison •Dick Muth of Mitchell •Larry Ness of Yankton •Jan Nicolay of Chester •Hunter Roberts, Governor’s Office, exofficio member •John Cooper, GFP commissioner, exofficio member St. Agnes School Blessing And Open House Catholic Daughters Ice Cream Social Most Rev. Bishop Paul J. Swain, Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls, Fr. John Fischer, St. Agnes School staff and students and St. Agnes parishioners wish to invite all former, current and future students of St. Agnes School and their families as well as community members to attend an Open House and Blessing of St. Agnes School, 909 Lewis Street on Wednesday, September 9 from 5 – 7 p.m. The vision of the newly expanded and renovated space at St. Agnes School is now a reality with the start of the 2015/2016 academic year. Bishop Paul Swain will be at St. Agnes to bless all new spaces in the school, just recently completed in time for the new school year. The new addition at St. Agnes includes four new classrooms, offices, meeting room and staff break/ work room. The renovations included new exterior brickwork on the building, new windows and shelving in all the existing classrooms, up- dates to existing restrooms as well as new flooring in the corridors and classrooms. The project began in May 2013. “After several years of planning and hard work it is exciting to have a newly updated and expanded school to better serve our community. It is truly amazing that a parish of nearly 500 families was able to accomplish this great work. Our Lord has truly blessed this work of building a faith-filled future for our children and grandchildren,” said Fr. John Fischer, pastor at St. Agnes Church and School. The Open House and blessing of St. Agnes School is held in conjunction with the annual Catholic Daughter’s Ice Cream Social taking place in the gymnasium at the school from 5 – 7 p.m. Community members will enjoy taverns, chips and a wonderful assortment of pies for dessert!

Legislative Report From Senator Arthur Rusch, Representing District 17 (Clay And Turner Counties) One of the bills which passed the 2015 session of the South Dakota Legislature was Senate Bill 2 (SB2) which began the process of creating natural resource districts for each of the river basins in South Dakota. The goal is to create water management plans for each of the river basins that would plan for such things as watershed management, drainage, erosion, flood control, reclamation, and environmental protection of the lands in each river basin. SB2 created nine river basin districts taking in the entire state. I was appointed to the Advisory Task Force which is charged with establishing the River Basin Natural Resource Districts. The first meeting of the task force was held on August 13, 2015, in Pierre. Kim Vanneman of Winner was elected as chair of the task force and Representative John Wiik of Big Stone City was elected as vice chair. A number of people concerned with the water development districts appeared and provided testimony including Brad Preheim, manager of the Vermillion Basin Water Development District and TLC Water Project District; Matt McCaulley an attorney for the South Dakota Corn Growers Association; Ralph Schnorr, a Brown County landowner and civil engineer, Jay Gilbertson, Dragons At The Library It’s true that dragons are too seldom, but we’re happy that they will be making a special appearance at the library this fall! On Tuesday, September 22nd, and Wednesday, September 23rd, Markie Scholz and her Dragons Are Too Seldom Puppet Productions will drop by to share wonderful stories and fun with the children of our community. Public performances of the show “In the Center of Things,” will begin both days at 10:30 am in the Kozak Community Room. “In The Center of Things” is the story of Hedgy Hedgehog and his best friend Sally A. Wolf. Hedgy is forced into the Big Woods by the Niggle Naggles who constantly tease and pick on him. He must find his way home but not before he comes face to face with Growl the Troll who is trying to be a friend, a bullying caterpillar, a sly fox who wants Hedgy to do his work for him, and a nasty wind with an awful attitude. Throughout Hedgy’s adventure, Sally and Growl try to help Hedgy learn how to handle bullies and get out of the Big Woods and back home safely. For more information about Marie and her dragon friends, go to dragonsaretooseldom.com. Additionally, there will be a hands-on puppet-making workshop for children in 2nd – 4th grades on Tuesday from 3:30-5 pm in the Kozak Community Room.

A letter from Michael Elsen was also read. The Task Force discussed the various duties that SB2 required that it carry out this year including recommending specific boundaries for each of the nine districts; recommending how to divide each of the districts into three sub-districts of nearly equal population size; recommending a procedure by which the initial terms of the elected district councils should be staggered; and establishing a pilot water management plan for the Red River and Minnesota River District. The Task Force discussed whether the districts and sub-districts should be divided using county lines, township lines, or school district boundaries or whether purely hydrological (water drainage) lines should be used to divide them. The Legislative Research Council staff was asked to have maps and population data available at the next meeting to assist the task force in formulating their recommendation regarding district and sub-district boundaries. The staff will split out the districts as close to the existing voting districts as possible. SB2 excluded Class 1 municipalities (those cities with a population of 5,000 or greater) from the districts but it was agreed that those municipalities and the river basin districts should work together on water management plans. Tribal governments should also be involved in the process. It was felt that there will probably be different management plans for each of the nine districts because many of the water issues will be different depending on the locations; for example the Red River and Minnesota River District will have significantly different needs from the Belle Fourche and Cheyenne River District. Chair Vanneman appointed a pilot water management plan subcommittee consisting of Senator Frerichs, Representative McCleerey, Representative Wiik, and herself to meet with some of the entities in the northeast area to do some ground work to help facilitate the pilot plan for the Red River and Minnesota River District. The next meeting of the full task force will be held on October 16th in Pierre. If anyone has any comments or suggestions for the work of the Task Force, they can mail me at P.O.
