8 Broadcaster Press May 31, 2016 www.broadcasteronline.com Highway Patrol Accepting Applications for Next Trooper Class PIERRE — South Dakota’s Highway Patrol has begun the search for its next group of state troopers. Applications are being accepted now through July 8 and officials plan to hire a class of 15-20 new recruits. Successful applicants are informed of where they will be stationed prior to accepting their appointment. Certified law enforcement officers are eligible for a $3,000 hiring bonus. Once selected, recruits who are not currently certified as a law enforcement officer in South Dakota or another state must first attend the 13-week South Dakota Law Enforcement Training Academy in Pierre. The second part of the training is the 10-week South Dakota Highway Patrol Recruit Academy followed by a 10-week field training program. It takes about a year from the initial application to graduation to become a state trooper. “The Highway Patrol’s selection pro- cess and training program is extensive, and it should be” says Col. Craig Price, superintendent of the South Dakota Highway Patrol. “We use this selection process to find the best men and women possible. Those who graduate from the Highway Patrol Recruit Academy are prepared for any situation.” Again this year, the Highway Patrol also will hold statewide seminars for women who are considering applying for the Highway Patrol.

USDA Awards $4.5 Million In Rural Community Development Grants; Seeks Applications For Future Projects WASHINGTON – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is awarding more than $4 million in grants to 23 organizations to support rural economic development projects. Secretary Vilsack also announced that USDA is seeking applications for the next round of program funding. The awards and the request for applications are being provided through the Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) program. RCDI helps community-based development organizations, federally recognized Indian tribes and other groups promote economic development in low-income, rural communities. "The latest Census data show that last year, rural America's population grew at the fastest rate since 2010," Vilsack said. "USDA stands ready to help rural communities create jobs and continue to be a place where people want to raise their families. We have seen time and again that our community investments are most successful when we partner with folks already embedded in the local fabric. These grants will help bring jobs to our rural small towns, with USDA providing funding and technical assistance to help launch business and development projects specifically tailored to the needs of each local and regional area." RCDI grants are not provided directly to businesses or individuals. Instead, awards are provided to public or nonprofit intermediaries that are locally-based and skilled in business development and job creation. Recipients must obtain matching funds, which doubles the impact of the grants. For additional information and application details, see page 32277 of the May 23 Federal Register. Since 2009, USDA has awarded $39 million to support 206 rural economic development projects financed through the RCDI program. The projects are examples of USDA's support for locally-based development strategies. Funding for recipients announced today is contingent upon the grantee meeting the terms of the grant agreement. In 2011, Planning & Development District III based in Yankton, SD used a $167,500 RCDI grant. Technical assistance was provided by the grantee for a regional training network to prepare local governments to effectively utilize new GIS technologies. Since 2009, USDA Rural Development (#USDARD) has invested $11 billion to start or expand 103,000 rural businesses; helped 1.1 million rural residents buy homes; funded nearly 7,000 community facilities such as schools, public safety and health care facilities; financed 185,000 miles of electric transmission and distribution lines; and helped bring high-speed Internet access to nearly 6 million rural residents and businesses.
