One Act performs this Sunday

            This weekend, take in a show within a show! The Garretson High School One Act, "The Great American Talent Show," will be performed in the old gym at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday.

            "The show follows a series of performers on the final night of competition," said Head Coach Erika Brown. "Three playful judges offer critiques and praises for the contestants throughout their performances. As competition continues, we grow closer to knowing who will be crowned the grand prize winner of The Great American Talent Show. Will it be the singer, the comic, makeover artist, impressionist, model, or the one-man band? The competition is fierce and makes for a very entertaining series of events."

            A talented cast of fifteen actors will be bringing the comedic act by Joseph Robinette to the regional stage next Tuesday in Canton. Brown, along with assistant director Kim Macziewski, is working on developing the students' strengths.

            "We have been working on developing strong characters, growing in expression, and stepping out of our comfort zone," Brown said.

            Not only will the competition within the show be fierce, but the competition on the stage will be, as well. After Sunday's performance, the show will hit the road.

            "We are part of Region 2A which competes in Canton on January 23rd, 2024 at the Canton Performing Arts Center," Brown noted. "There are 5 other schools in our region (Sioux Falls Christian, Canton, West Central, Lennox, and Tea Area). We compete at 2:15PM on the 23rd. The top 2 schools will advance to the state festival at Brandon, February 1st-3rd."

            Come see the show on Sunday, and cheer on the contestants as they vie for the top slot!

December fire slows down Brandon firm’s medical cannabis license plans

December fire slows down Brandon firm’s medical cannabis license plans

By Dave Baumeister

County Correspondent

            SIOUX FALLS – Although this week the Minnehaha County Commission was going to vote on awarding a medical cannabis license to Shangri-La SD, LLC, a recent fire in the company’s Brandon cultivation center put that company’s plans for the county on hold.

            Shangri-La was the only applicant for the cannabis license relinquished by Genesis Farms last fall, after they had been unable to get their business running within the required timeline.

            T.J. Cameron, COO of Shangri-La, was then awarded the license, but the Dec. 14 Brandon fire had left their plans in limbo.

            He told commissioners he could go ahead with the application, but that he would rather wait.

            The problem with waiting though, was that the business was at the end of the 60-day period to have the license awarded and the conditional use permit approved.

            But Cameron requested that they be allowed to start the process over again.

            Planning and Zoning Director Scott Anderson explained that he would have to again go before the county planning board for a CUP approval on Monday, Feb. 26, and the matter would then come back to the county commission on Tuesday, March 5.

            Since no one was at the meeting to speak against the cannabis operation, Commissioner Jean Bender said she was willing to give Shangri-La some leeway and made the motion to hear the matter again on March 5.

            The next meeting of the commission will be at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 23, on the third floor of the Minnehaha County Administration Building at 6th and Minnesota in Sioux Falls.

Community Happenings for January 18, 2023

            Above is the last week of our guessing game of former students of Miss Irene Croston, which we began in our Nov. 2, 2023 issue. Pictured are, top left to right; Ann Williamson, Nancy Vandersnick Olund, and Richard Johnson. Bottom left to right are Marian Henjum, Bob Sanders, and Laurel Hanson. Last week, a slight correction, top right lady was Kay Flanagan Munce.

            All good things come to an end, they say, however, though these prepared batches of photos have run their course that doesn’t mean they have to end. These photos were found inside a wall in Ms. Croston’s former home and Oran Sorenson tells the Gazette that there are many more, and if we receive enough positive feedback he’ll prepare new batches to go in to future issues. We told him we’ve already had phone calls, emails and folks stopping in who’ve particularly mentioned they’ve enjoyed it so, if that’s the case, add your voice to theirs and we’ll do more.

Week 1 South Dakota Legislature Report 2024 Session

Week 1 South Dakota Legislature Report 2024 Session

25th District Representative Randy Gross

Representative Randy E. Gross - 2019

            I wish to thank the citizens of Moody and Minnehaha counties for the honor of serving in the South Dakota House of Representatives on your behalf.  I continue to serve on the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee and am Vice-Chair of the Transportation Committee. 

            In addition, as a Veteran, I am honored to serve on the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee.  At the last session, I was elected by my fellow Representatives to serve on the Legislative Executive Board.

            At the beginning of each Legislative Session, I reflect on ways I can best represent the people of the 25th District.  Last year, more than 450 bills and resolutions were introduced.  Before this 2024 session even began, there were many bills pre-filed, covering a wide range of issues.  Even the most experienced legislators can't be experts on every topic.  However, we all need to be diligent in gathering good information from those who are best informed.  I am impressed with the quality, dedication, and diversity of our citizen legislature. Those serving in Pierre offer a wide range of talent and expertise on issues. 

            It is easy for South Dakotans to follow the legislative process.  An excellent starting point is the Legislative Research Council (LRC) website www.sdlegislature.gov  It provides comprehensive information on bills, committee agendas, and floor action.  You can read bill texts, see when they are scheduled for committee hearing and find out what amendments have been offered and/or approved.  You can also listen to committee discussion and floor debate and see how legislators vote.

            When communicating with legislators, here are a few points to remember.  Emails and messages from those in the 25th District receive more attention than those from outside the district.  Anonymous emails and those from out-of-state groups generally receive limited attention.  Our phones are turned off/silent during committee and session activities.

            Emails should be brief.  Identify the issue (use the bill number if you know it) and explain how it impacts you.

            Copy and paste emails and those where you simply put your name on something someone else composed are NOT effective. It is far better to explain one or two key points in your own words about why you support or oppose a measure.

            Also remember that we have a diverse district and legislators are hearing from constituents on both sides of any controversial issue.  Therefore, it is helpful if you can point out unintended effects and offer supported, technical information or offer solutions.  If you have constructive suggestions or workable alternatives, please let us know.

            Bills are just beginning the process of working their way through committees.  Committees meet in the mornings and the full House and Senate each meet in the afternoon.  The pace will pick up during the second week.

            On Tuesday Governor Noem presented her State of the State address. On Wednesday we heard the State of the Judiciary address from the Chief Justice Jensen and the State of the Tribes address from Tribal Vice-President Cyndi Allen-Weddell of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe.

            This is your government, and all citizens are welcome to visit the Capital and testify on bills or simply observe the process.  I can be contacted at .

Week 1 Newspaper Report from Sen. Tom Pischke
Tom Pischke

            The calendar has recently flipped over to 2024 and that means the 99th Legislative session has started on January 9th.  As your District 25 Senator, I will be writing a weekly column to keep you updated on important legislative items.

            Our first week of the new session has been filled with information gathering and speeches.  On Tuesday, January 9th, we heard the State of the State address from Governor Noem. 

            Her speech highlighted her Top Ten List of things we are doing here in South Dakota to ensure that Freedom Works Here.  If you haven’t heard her speech yet, you can visit https://listen.sdpb.org/politics/2024-01-09/read-noems-full-2024-state-of-the-state-address to read it.  On Wednesday, January 10th, we listed in on the State of the Judiciary delivered by the Chief Justice Jensen and the State of the Tribes address.  The State of the Tribes address was given by Santee Sioux Tribal Vice President Cynthia J. Allen-Weddell.  The vice president of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe encouraged our State Government to welcome more opportunities to collaborate with the Tribes.

            This will likely be another eventful legislative session that has its unique issues.  Along with budget decisions that need to be made, there will also be discussions on CO2 / eminent domain reform, education choice, election integrity and many other issues.  At this point in time, I only have one piece of Legislation out on www.sdlegislature.gov and that is SJR 503 which is an application for a convention of states under Article V of the Constitution of the United States, to impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and to limit the terms of office for members of Congress and other federal officials.  While I’d love to encourage everyone to reach out to members of the Legislature to encourage them to vote for this resolution, the simple fact is that many members of our super-majority Republican legislature simply don’t care about reigning in our out of control federal government. 

            If you are interested in following along with any of our committees or chambers this session, there are two great ways to do that.  First, visit www.sdlegislature.gov as this is the Legislature's home page where you can find any information about session that you are looking for.  On the front page you will find a schedule of committees and when the House and Senate will be meeting and what's on the agenda for each meeting.  You can also find listings of all the bills that we will be working on this session.  Additionally, if you want to listen into a committee or chamber you can click on the South Dakota Public Broadcasting icon next to that scheduled meeting to listen live.  The Second way to listen and watch is to visit www.SD.Net where you can find all the live audio from the committees and the live audio and video streams from the House and Senate Chambers.

            Finally, if you have any questions about how to find information about a bill or committee, or any questions at all about session please contact me.  I can be reached most anytime by phone at 605-999-2948 and by email at .  If you do call and I’m unable to answer, try sending me a text and I will text or call you back later.  Additionally, if you email please include that you are from District 25 and what town you're from.  We get 100s of emails a day and I simply cannot reply back to them all, but if I know that you are from our district, I will get back to you!  Lastly, if you are planning a trip up to the Capitol for a visit during session please let me know so that we can find a time to meet up while you are here!  Have a great week and God Bless!

Rural voices essential to democratic process

Rural voices essential to democratic process

By Jillian Linster, interim policy director, Center for Rural Affairs

            South Dakota lawmakers are gathering once again in Pierre for another year of debating and passing legislation.

            The democratic process is something America prides itself on and one that requires input from citizens to thrive. As new bills are being introduced and debated, lawmakers need to hear directly from their constituents on issues that are important to them.

            So, how can you make sure your voice is heard?  

            The first way is to share your views by interacting directly with elected officials by writing, calling, or visiting them. Testifying in person is another effective way to ensure your voice is heard, but we understand attending a hearing may not be feasible. Other options include writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper or sharing information on social media.

            However you choose to engage with your representatives, providing an authentic constituent voice is important while making sure to keep your message simple, civil, and focused. The representative or audience you are addressing needs to know who you are, why the issue matters to you, and what action you want taken. In the case of legislation, this means urging the representative to vote yes or no on a specific proposal.

            Commenting on an issue should also be timely. Try to speak to representatives or place your story in the media at a key moment, such as before a hearing or floor debate.

            Whatever your reason for becoming a rural advocate, the Center for Rural Affairs is here to help. Please visit cfra.org/advocate for more information and resources on advocacy and to sign up for our biweekly South Dakota legislative updates.

            State policies have a direct impact on how we live our daily lives. If you are passionate about an issue, we encourage you to step up and let your voice be heard.
