Letter: Taxpayer is getting bamboozled with high school project
Dear Editor, The school board had a $40 million budget. By all accounts, this amount of money should build a “Taj Mahal” or fantastic high school. Remember, this new school will be torn down in 50 to 60 years to build another new high school. This is the way it works. When the school board brainstormed ideas to include in the new school, they found that all of these ideas were needed. I have been in on brainstorming sessions before and can tell you that some ideas are pure folly.
Gilligan, the castaway loon, made his getaway from Minnesota lake
This photo of Gilligan, the juvenile loon who was the focus of attention around the world when he was marooned in a small opening in the ice on one of the Crow Wing Lakes in November when ice formed, was taken in September. A group of people ice fishing on Dec. 19 saw him take off and clear the tree line. Loons from this winter spend the winter in the Gulf of Mexico, so that is likely where he headed.

Letter: South Dakota had a pro-abortion governor?
To the Editor: I read and read again, the article about former Gov. Harvey Wollman in the Jan. 8-9 edition of the Mitchell Republic. I was very surprised to know we had a pro-abortion South Dakota governor in the 1970s. Certainly his predecessor, Gov. Dick Kneip, who had a sizable family, was in favor of life for young and old. I was hoping that “abortion rights supportorter” was a misprint but in context of it being our of synch with rural voters it seems to be correct.
Letter: Jarding's heart was as big as South Dakota
He was a man that respected others and tried to make his corner of the world a better place in so many ways. Opinion by Frank Kloucek / Scotland January 28, 2022 04:24 PM To the Editor: Art Jarding was a class act whose heart was as big as all of South Dakota. His love for his family, his faith, his farm and his cattle were always at the top of his priority list. His demeanor of always respecting others and treating others as you wish to be treated was awesome.

Northland Outdoors: Your goose is cooked, several ways
Northland Outdoors host Chad Koel and his dish of bacon-wrapped goose, goose casserole and pan-fried goose. Chad Koel / Northland Outdoors In this episode of Northland Outdoors, Chad Koel heads to the kitchen to cook some of the geese that he and his hunting companions harvested during a recent hunt in North Dakota. "For some reason, you have no idea how many people I've talked to, that say well, 'I like just about everything but I just can't eat goose' for a variety of reasons," Koel says.
Letter: Term limits
I enjoyed the coverage of Congressman Johnson’s visit with our Rotary Club. I, too, have been very interested in the congressional term limit issue. Since I was not in attendance, I will only comment on what was included in the coverage. The first point is that South Dakotans want federal term limits. We term limited our state legislators in 1992. One point that I didn’t see was that I believe term limits require a constitutional amendment.
Column: While DNR Fish and Wildlife Division reorganizes, jobs go wanting, outposts go dark
Biologists Keith Reeves, left, Josh Blankenheim and Cory Goldsworthy pull out netted lake trout from Lake Superior during an annual spring population survey, on Lake Superior, May 8, 2018 in Duluth. The Department of Natural Resources Fish and Wildlife Division is reorganizing and some positions around the state might be consolidated. The plan is expected to be complete by spring.
LETTER: Building fish population takes effort
By Dan Kaup Today at 12:00 p.m. To the Editor: There are many great fisheries in South Dakota and year-long fishing opportunities. States that close their seasons do not have the quality of fisheries that we enjoy. The reason that so many Iowa and Nebraska anglers come here is the lack of lakes in those states. In the 80s we all had small boats and started using depth finders. It was difficult to access the big waters and fish were plentiful. Then we had bigger boats and added graphs.
LETTER: Growing fisheries takes restraint
By Dan Kaup Today at 4:23 p.m. To the Editor: I felt compelled to respond to the Roger Wiltz column from Feb. 20. He urged the South Dakota Department of Game Fish and Parks to protect the walleye spawn. He isn't the fisheries biologist and I urge them to abstain. I assume he means shutting down the walleye fishing from March 1 through May 1. I would remind him that GF&P biologists have done many studies and have proven that this closure is unnecessary.
