  • Dave Kranz Is One of the Most Well-Known, Authoritative and Influential Journalists in South Dakota�S History
    Dave Kranz is one of the most well-known, authoritative and influential journalists in South Dakota�s history. I had the honor and pleasure of working with him for 20 years at the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, until he retired. Dave spent 40+ years in the newspaper business. Although he covered a vast range of topics, he�ll be most remembered for his political reporting. He loves politics and possesses a wealth of information. Until he developed symptoms of Alzheimer�s at the tail end of his career, he could name all of the governors, senators and representatives in South Dakota�s history and could tell you the years they served. And he knew all kinds of facts about many of them. He was a walking encyclopedia of South Dakota politics. He also was extremely knowledgeable about elected officials throughout the United States. Dave was a top-notch reporter. He was great at asking tough questions and gathering information. He had more sources than any reporter I�ve ever known. Elected officials and other sources would call him at work or home any day or night with story leads or just to talk politics. One of the potential downsides to political reporting is dealing with readers who get upset because they believe a story wasn�t fair to their candidate or their issue. Dave would receive phone calls from both sides of issues, from unhappy Democrats and unhappy Republicans. When complaints come from two sides, not one, that�s a sign that the story was balanced and fair. Dave had, and still has, the respect of politicians on both sides of the aisle.

  • Closing Time: a Twenty-Five-Year Retrospective on the Life and Death
    Copyright © 2009 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. MARSHALL DAMGAARD Closing Time A Twenty-five-Year Retrospective on the Life and Death of the University of South Dakota at Springfield Twenty-five years ago, South Dakota Governor William J. Janklow and the state legislature closed the University of South Dakota at Spring- field and converted it into a minimum-security prison. The closing— contested bitterly in the capitol, the courts, and public meeting halls— climaxed almost a century of continuing debates over the existence of the school.1 The community of Springfield had built much of its identity and economy around the school, and residents mourned the loss. Today, the former campus is the site of Mike Durfee State Prison, but memories of the University of South Dakota at Springfield and the fight to keep it alive remain vivid. To visitors, Springfield seems an unlikely place for controversy. The little town is tucked between the softly undulating tallgrass prairie and the slowly rolling Missouri River. Until the mid-nineteenth cen- tury, the area was the domain of the Yankton Sioux Indians, who, un- der their legendary leader Strike-the-Ree, ceded about 14 million acres between the Missouri and Big Sioux rivers with the Treaty of 1858. That treaty, followed closely by the Homestead Act of 1862, triggered a tor- rent of European immigrants—Czechs, Dutch, English, Germans, Ger- mans from Russia (including Hutterites and Mennonites), Russians, Swedes, Norwegians, Poles, Irish, and Austrians—who settled in what became Bon Homme County, Dakota Territory. The newcomers also included many cold-hardy settlers from Canada, plus empire-building Yankees from New England, who leapfrogged through Ohio, Indiana, 1.

  • Foundation's 2020 Annual Report
    FOUNDATION’S 2020 ANNUAL REPORT The Trail of Governors project survived the year 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic by hitting pause. The Trail of Governors Foundation board members decided to hold off on hosting an unveiling ceremony or installing new statues. The actual trail remains as it appeared at the start of 2020, with 25 bronze statues. While in pause mode, the board was still obligated to make payments to the artists for their work to-date on the year’s commissioned statues. Attempts to seek donors and payments from those that relayed interest in donating pre-Covid-19 were dismal given the economic uncertainty and health concerns brought by the pandemic. Therefore, board members and advisors got busy filling out applications for grants to find financial assistance. The project was awarded two grants, one from the South Dakota Small Business Grant for $80,000 and one from the South Dakota Humanities Council’s CARES Relief Act for $10,000. These grants provided the necessary support to make M.Charles Michael Herreid Rounds – 4th- 31st Governor Governor of Southof South Dakota Dakota payments to the 2020 – now year 2021 – sculptors. 2020 Trail of Governors Annual Report Charles H.

  • U.S. Senator E. James Abdnor: a Life Compiled by Jon Lauck, May 2012
    U.S. Senator E. James Abdnor: A Life Compiled by Jon Lauck, May 2012 In 1899, an 18-year-old Sam Abdelnour left the village of Ayn Al-Arab in Lebanon, which was then part of Greater Syria and within the Ottoman Empire, on a cargo ship bound for the United States. He could speak no English. At the time, it was reported that Sam “plans to set himself up in the business of peddling” and that “he is anxious to learn the language of his new country.” Abdelnour, who Anglicized his name to Abdnor, first opened a general store in O’Neill, Nebraska, but in 1904 moved to Lyman County, South Dakota, filed a homestead claim on 160 acres, and planted corn. His homestead patent claim was signed by President Theodore Roosevelt. Abdnor also continued his work as a “peddler,” selling to many of the new settlers in the area and to the Sioux Indians at Lower Brule. Abdnor said “the Greeks run restaurants, the German likes farming and manufacturing, the Italians and Poles go into mining. The Scandinavians turn to fishing and farming and my countrymen, the Lebanese, were noted as peddlers of fine linens and other light articles.” Abdnor sold overalls, shirts, linens, lace, buttons, eyeglasses, pins, needles and jewelry by walking from farm to farm and, later, using a two-seated buggy with a merchandise box built on the back. At this time, Lyman County was on the edge of the homesteading frontier and many men in the area were working on the Milwaukee Road rail line, which would run through Reliance, Kennebec, Presho, and Vivian and into Jones County towns such as Draper and Murdo and on further West.

  • Project Rural Practice: Its People & Its Purpose
    PROJECT RURAL PRACTICE: ITS PEOPLE & ITS PURPOSE PATRICK G. GOETZINGER† ROBERT L. MORRIS† This article recounts the story of Project Rural Practice (“PRP”) from its inception to date. Like the story of rural America, the story of PRP cannot be effectively told without telling the story of its people. The common interest for each of these people is expressed in the purpose of PRP, which is both to assure meaningful access to legal services in rural communities and also to ensure rural communities remain “not just viable, but thriving.”1 The compelling story of PRP illustrates what can be accomplished when good people work toward a common purpose. Our hope is the story of PRP motivates and inspires positive action here at home and elsewhere in rural America. I. INTRODUCTION 2 A.

    STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA M. MICHAEL ROUNDS, GOVERNOR June 3, 2003 Eduardo Aguirre Commissioner Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services 425 I Street, Northwest, Room I 700 Washington, DC 20536 Dear Commissioner Aguirre: The Immigration Act of 1990, Section l2l(b )5, establishes provisions by which individuals who invest $1 million in a business in the United States (US) and employ ten or more US citizens or legal residents will be granted a 2~year provisional visa. Rules to implement the Act were adopted in November of 1991. These rules extend provisions to individuals who invest $500,000 in a business in specified high unemployment or rural areas iu the US as defined by the Act. The South Dakota International Business Institute administers this program and the authority to certify which geographical regions are certified high unemployment areas has been delegated to the South Dakota Department of Labor (SDDOL). Based upon provisions of the Act, rural counties qualify regardless of unemployment rate. However, cities of 20,000 or more within these rural counties qualify only if they are high unemployment areas or if the entire county has a qualifying unemployment rate. Based on this, all South Dakota counties qualify except for South Dakota's only two metropolitan statistical areas of Sioux Falls (Minnehaha County) and Rapid City (Pennington County). Additionally, the cities of Aberdeen (Brown County) and Watertown (C0dington County) do not qualifY as they have populations of more than 20.000. The entire state of South Dakota, except for the cities mentioned in the prior paragraph, constitute South Dakota's certification of areas of high unemployment for the purposes of the Immigration Act of 1990.
