Bomgaars will be donating 5% of the Evening Total Sales to SD Department Of Public Safety Receives Nearly $2 Million In Grants For School Security PIERRE, S.D. – The South Dakota Department of Public Safety (DPS) has received three grants totaling almost $2 million to help South Dakota school districts prevent and address threats of violence. The DPS received the grants from the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s STOP School Violence Program. The program is part of the U.S. Department of Justice. “Our number one priority is the safety of the next generation,” said Gov. Kristi Noem. “These grants will be incredibly beneficial in our schools and better equip us to provide resources and training in the areas of violence prevention and threat recognition. While we hope our schools never experience violence, it is important we equip them with the resources they need to enhance safety and prepare teachers and students to recognize potential threats.” There are three different grants: $998,000 – This grant will allow the state to establish a School Safety Resource Center. The center can help distribute best practices for school safety, requests for training for threat recognition, training in establishment of threat adjudication teams, and requests for physical security assessments for K-12 school building. $500,000 – This grant will focus on establishing prevention and mental health training programs in conjunction with mental health professionals. $500,000 – This grant will focus on technology and threat assessment solutions for safe schools programs. DPS Cabinet Secretary Craig Price said the programs will be administered by the state Office of Homeland Security and new staff members will be hired to oversee the programs. He said implementation of the grants will start soon. “Our goal is to provide the tools for K-12 schools to implement preventive measures in their districts,” said Price. “These grants will help schools not only in the areas of threat recognition, but also working with schools to implement a wholesale approach to school safety.” The grant money cannot be used to purchase weapons, equipment, or fund salaries for School Resource Officers. South Dakota agencies that supported DPS with submitting the state’s grant proposal included the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, SD Attorney General’s Office’s Division of Criminal Investigation; SD Department of Social Services’ Division of Behavioral Health, SD Department of Education, Associated School Boards of South Dakota, School Administrators of South Dakota, SD Parent Teacher’s Association, SD Association of School Resource Officers, SD Sheriff’s Association, SD Police Chiefs Association and Vermillion Police Department. Buy Local! Shop the 4-H Member Recalls Life Lessons Gained Classifieds! From Showing Livestock By Danika Gordon State 4-H Leadership Ambassador and Marketing Committee Member BROOKINGS, S.D. - 4-H has been a huge part of Talli Heim’s life ever since she showed her first market steer. Heim has been involved in a variety of 4-H project areas over the years, including showing and evaluating livestock. She was a member of her county’s livestock judging team and attended judging contests at the local and state levels. One unique opportunity that Heim has been involved with for the past two years is the iLead: A Voice for Agriculture program in Mitchell, S.D. “This program gives kids with disabilities the chance to work with livestock and compete in the ring just like 4-H members do,” states Heim. The iLead program was an eye-opening experience for Heim, as she recognized her tendencies to take everyday activities for granted. For her high school senior project, Heim coordinated a beef fitting, clipping and showmanship clinic and recruited individuals who mentored her throughout her 4-H career to assist with the event. She recalls that the project was a huge success. 4-H members attended from several counties, and all donations received from the clinic supported the iLead program. “The people I have met, the lessons I have learned, and the opportunities I have been given, I can proudly say are due to 3x ...the Value For Your Classified! 605-624-4429 4-H,” said Heim. “Because of 4-H, showing livestock has become a huge part of my life. This industry has taken me down many different paths throughout the years, but I really do believe each battle I faced has made me the person I am today. I only hope that every junior can have the same experience I was given.” Heim is a 4-H member in Jerauld-Buffalo county and is the daughter of Chris and Meggin Heim. She is currently a sophomore at South Dakota State University studying Agricultural Communications with a minor in Agricultural Business.
