Title: South Dakota’s Snow White Fairy Tale





Outside, its white as far as the eye can see. Sidewalks once lined with green grass are now covered with small frozen flakes which appear to have blown in straight sideways. The air, once filled with song birds singing and children playing, is now filled with the howls of the biting wind and the roaring of large engines on snow plows. Sounds like a typical blizzard in South Dakota, but at the end April?

Whether it is a 30 degree autumn day followed by a 95 degree scorcher or a beautiful spring day that happens to occur on December 26, South Dakota has long been associated with “your guess is as good as mine” weather. South Dakota appears to scoff at the typical climate and decides on its own what we will have for weather.

Last weekend’s crazy upset in our much deserved spring weather is just one example of what is to be expected or rather unexpected.

“Some people like really hot places, some people like really cold places, we are lucky and we get both,” said Josh Chilson, a journalism student at South Dakota State University, “and if you are tired of the heat, just wait ‘til tomorrow, it will probably be cold”
It seems as though only in South Dakota is a used car salesman more trusted than a meteorologist. The weather is unreliable and abnormal.

But maybe surprising is a better way of describing it. Cold fronts and snow storms in spring may not appeal to everyone but just think of how many times we get to experience the first day of spring when the snow melts which is followed by more snow and another “first day of spring.” Some might even go as far as to say we are the “lucky ones.”

Title: SDSU recognizes the accomplishments of distinguished alumni






Mikkel Pates, Patrick Springer, Tim Roby and Daryl Thuringer were honored as distinguished alumni at the South Dakota State University annual journalism banquet last Wednesday.

Over 130 people congregated at the Days Inn to recognize the accomplishments of the distinguished alumni and for the scholarship presentation. Scholarships were awarded to applicants within the Mass Communication department.

“I envy the young people who are entering into [mass communications],” said Mikkel Pates, senior staff writer/ photographer for Agweek magazine, as he reflected on the good times he has had in the field.

Pates, a ’79 graduate of SDSU, works in the Dakotas, Minnesota, eastern Montana, and southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan as a writer for a column, Ag-at-Large, and a blog, http://www.ag-at-large.com/.

Patrick Springer, an ’83 graduate, received many awards throughout his career in news writing. He now teaches at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn.

Daryl Thuringer, an ’85 graduate, is the director of Marketing and Public Relations for Avera Health system in Sioux Falls. He has been to Haiti twice with Avera’s outreach program.

Tim Roby, an ’84 graduate, cofounded a public relations firm, Putnam Roby Communications.
Roby attested to the room full of young future journalists, “If you can write and you can communicate, you can do anything.”
