  • The Crowded Field: Eight Men for the Senate
    Copyright © 1979 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Crowded Field: Eight Men for the Senate RALPH R. TINGLEY Party factionalism, individual ambitions, and personal rivalries contributed in 1924 to a situation unique in South Dakota politics. The names of eight candidates vying for one seat in the United States Senate graced the November ballots. Beyond the multiplicity of candidates, the election contest was also marked by its longevity, an element aggravated by a complex primary system initiated by the Richards Primary Law of 1918. Under this law, the election process started on the second Tuesday of November in the preceding year so that almost twelve months passed before final office holders were elected. The 1924 election, therefore, started on 13 November 1923, when every precinct elected three proposalmen for each party. Besides selecting county candidates, these proposalmen also chose three of their number from the county to assemble with other county delegations on 4 December to propose candidates and prepare a state platform for their party. At this state meeting in Pierre, each delegate had the power to cast votes totaling one-third the number of votes cast in his county for the party's gubernatorial choice in the preceding election. Proposal- men who dissented from the majority nomination could file an alternate slate. Any additional nonconformists were required to file as independents, without majority or minority sponsorship but with individual petitions that had endorsements representing at least 1 percent of the total number of votes cast for the party's Copyright © 1979 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

For the reasons set forth herein, Haugo believes that regardless of the technology used, when advertising is sold online it is purchased at rates unavailable to even the most favored commercial advertiser who seeks to purchase time directly from the station and, therefore, is exempt from the LUC pricing requirements. In support hereof, Haugo submits the following: 1. Haugo is the licensee radio stations KSQY-FM (Deadwood, South Dakota) and KIQK-FM & KTOQ-AM (Rapid City, South Dakota). 2. Although Congress enacted the 1971 Federal Election Campaign Act to promote greater candidate access to the broadcast media at reasonable rates, for more than thirty-two years the FCC has distinguished individual station rates from group or "network" rates for LUC purposes. In 1975 the FCC held that airtime sold by third parties to target a national or regional audience for a buy on a defined group of stations is a "special rate package" essentially exempt from LUC calculations.

    Tightening the Opportunity Gap TM for Youth in our Community Annual Report 2018 A Letter From Our Chief Executive Officer For more than 53 years, Youth & Family Services (YFS) has been a leader, advocate, and innovator in child and family ser- vices. The breadth and depth of our programs have proven to be exceptionally successful in increasing the well-being of children, birth through age 18. It’s an honor and a privilege to present this report highlighting some of our accomplishments from this past year. Many of these achievements were made possible because of the amazing involvement and support of concerned individuals, organizations, businesses, and foundations. In addition to expanding its outreach services, YFS has also been able to keep administrative and fundraising costs below 13%. YFS board members and staff continue to work with parents, educators, law enforcement, other non-profit organizations, and community leaders to ensure the services we provide are effectively meeting the needs of children. Our nine programs deliver comprehensive outreach to underserved youth and families by providing high quality early childhood education, preschool, child care, afterschool and summer youth development programming with academic support and enrichment, intensive case manage- ment for at-risk youth, father involvement and parent engagement, parenting education, mental health counseling and trauma treatment, nutrition and health advocacy services, and violence and substance abuse prevention. Although our services have been a critical component in helping many families become capable, caring, and contributing members of the com- munity, we know more needs to be done. Our programs are filled to capacity, we have waiting lists, and our facilities are overcrowded.

    Sturgis Elementary School Meade School District 46-1 “To Build Knowledge and Skills for Success Today and Tomorrow A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL CHANTAL LIGTENBERG Supervision on Playground I have noticed some students being dropped earlier than we have supervisors. Just a reminder that the supervisors are not on the playground until 7:45 a.m. Breakfast students can be dropped off as early as 7:30 a.m. at the cafeteria doors. Inclement Weather/School Closings On mornings when school is cancelled or a late start occurs, every attempt will be made to notify the following radio and television stations by 6-6:30 a.m.: radio stations BHB, KOTA, KAT, FOX, KIMM, KKMK, KKLS, KRCS, KSQY, KIQK, KTOQ, KDDX, KZZI, KDSJ, and television stations KOTA, KEVN, KNBN, and KELO. In addition to the announcements on select radio and television stations, parents will also be notified by telephone via School Messenger (previously known as School Reach) in the event of school closing or early dismissal. School Messenger messages will come from the district level. Please let the school office know if you have changed phone numbers recently so we may make those updates in our system. School Attendance Attending school might not be a big deal for you now, but the consequences can have a lasting impact on you. Check out the attendance facts from our friends at Attendance Works. • Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year. Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school.

Thanks to the loyal Republican voting record of South Dakotans during the past many years, our state has been honored by valuable Committee Assign­ ments given our Congressional delegation. As Senior Senator for the state, I was privileged to join the membership of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee. This group screens ail requests for funds from every department of our national Government. This week the Sub-committee memberships were announced, which should prove gratifying to all South Dakotans. As a result, I am now a member of the Sub-commit­ tees on AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY (South Dakota's major industry); ARMY CIVIL FUNC­ TIONS (including the Army Engineers who are building the Missouri River darns); INTERIOR (which controls many Federal projects, particularly in the West River area and also the operation of the Indian Bureau).
