Join SDPB on a sojourn around South Dakota with a starting point in Lemmon. This intriguing Perkins County town is home to Lemmon Petrified Wood Park, metal art sculptor John Lopez, and the Boss Cowman Rodeo and Celebration. Venture to Hartford to meet farmer and artist Adam Prunty. Prunty is a fifth-generation farmer as well as an artist/illustrator. After a day of combining corn and tending 300 head of cattle, Prunty heads indoors in the evenings for his second career as a successful commercial artist. “I’m a night owl, so that helps,” says Prunty. “When I get done with farming, sometimes I’ll work on the computer until late at night.” Go down on the Bainbridge family farm near Ethan. This fall marks the family operation’s 101st harvest. As their combines roll across fields of corn, the family says their farm is much more than a family business, it’s a legacy. And hit the links with Lance Christensen Jr. A senior at Little Wound School in Kyle, Christensen is one of the best golfers in South Dakota. Although the nearest golf course is a 45-minute drive away from his home, Christensen is following in the successful steps of his father and coach, Lance Christensen Sr., and grandfather, Hilario Mendoza, from whom he inherited his love and prowess for the game. “My grandfather couldn’t golf in the clubhouses,” says Christensen. “He was an amazing golfer who never got to play professionally.” Christensen says people tend to be surprised he’s a golfer rather than a track runner or basketball player. “A lot of people don’t understand how special it really is and how many different ways there are to play the game,” says Christensen. “And how many days you spend out there on the golf course that are so extremely special with the sunsets and the birds chirping in the wind and the fresh cut grass and all that type of stuff. And how competitive and hard it really is and how much you really have to focus.” Dakota Life Greetings from Lemmon premieres Thursday, Nov. 5, at 8pm (7 MT) on SDPB1. Rebroadcasts Sunday, Nov. 8, at 1pm (noon MT).
A generation ago, less than 3% of Americans had diabetes – today it’s almost 10%. It’s predicted that by 2025, half of the U.S. population will have diabetes or pre-diabetes. According to 2017 data from the South Dakota Department of Health, 11% of South Dakotans have been told by a doctor that they have diabetes. At 17%, American Indians demonstrate a significantly higher prevalence of diabetes than white South Dakotans at 9%. November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Through special dedicated programming, SDPB examines the local impact of diabetes on South Dakotans and highlights effective treatment and prevention. “Innovation” during In the Moment with Lori Walsh Friday, Nov. 13, noon (11am MT) on SDPB Radio & SDPB.org South Dakota Focus: South Dakotans & Diabetes SDPB1: Thursday, Nov. 19, 8pm (7 MT)

Katy Beem: What was the impetus for this particular doc? Brian Gevik: “After seeing the success of Stephanie Rissler’s Vanished South Dakota documentary for SDPB, I and a couple of other people at SDPB thought a lot about what might have made the “Vanished” project so popular. One of the things we learned is that South Dakotans and especially rural South Dakotans are generally proud of where they come from. Heritage and history can be very personal for people when something can be said about where they come from or who their people were. We started thinking about how rural South Dakota developed — why some towns thrived and some towns up-and-died. In historical terms, the obvious answer is that towns connected to the world by a railroad survived and towns without a rail connection died. But there’s more to it than that. A lot of things factor into how rural people and places thrive, from institutions like schools and churches to basic infrastructure like good farmto-market roads. We tend to take a lot of these things for granted today. Again, looking at history, think about when there was no electricity outside of towns and cities. The rural electrification work of the 1930s through the 1960s changed virtually everything about rural life. It’s right up there with the combustion engine. There’s the very literal reality of wires connecting remote farms and ranches to a reliable power provider and there’s also the fact that rural people connected with one another to make electrification happen. They formed co-ops and they figured it out. People without some connection to the basic amenities of the world and to their neighbors are living in the middle of nowhere, whether it’s South Dakota or anywhere else. People who have those connections can say they’re really

countryside has simply put it out of reach until lately. But wireless internet technologies have also improved. More importantly, internet providers, people in community development and government agencies at many levels, are putting a lot of money into getting broadband service into rural homes. It’s similar in every way to rural electrification. It’s relevant right now because of how much business is done online these days, including livestock auctions and commodity sales and a lot of other things that farmers and ranchers can get involved with. But it’s especially relevant now because COVID-19 is forcing people who are already a little isolated to become more isolated. Maybe a farmer doesn’t need to be in front of a screen all that often, but what about that farm family’s children if online learning is their only option? It’s also very true that some people simply don’t want to live in a place that doesn’t have basic amenities and now, for a lot of people, the internet is a basic amenity.” Images of the Past: The Middle of Everywhere — Connecting Rural South Dakota premieres Monday, November 16, at 8pm (7 MT) on SDPB1.

BG: “The story of how radio got started in South Dakota surprised me. KGFX in Pierre was started by an amateur radio operator essentially just experimenting with the technology way back in 1912. His name was Dana McNeil and his experimental station was among the first licensed operations in the entire world. McNeil and his wife Ida lived in Pierre, but Dana worked for a railroad and regularly traveled back and forth between Pierre and Rapid City. Their radio was just a way for them to stay in touch, but people started listening in, basically eavesdropping, and they started asking the McNeils to relay messages or even run errands for them. ‘Can Dana bring me a fan belt from Rapid City?’, that kind of thing. By the 1920s they were doing weather and news reports and playing music. They also did hospital reports. Ida McNeil would find out who was in the hospital and how they were doing, even if someone had died. She did those reports every day for years and years. Amazing.” KB: What is the continued relevance of this topic today? BG: “Cellphone service in rural areas has improved a lot in the past few years in terms of reach and reliability, but most people living in rural areas still don’t have access to true broadband internet service. The ‘last mile’ cost of wiring the

living in the middle of everywhere regardless of where they live. And that’s how we came up with the show title.” KB: At first glance, the topic may seem banal. But why is this topic so significant? BG: “The topic is significant because of South Dakota’s rural character. Half of all South Dakotans live in rural areas — even more than that depending on what you consider rural. Along with electricity and telephones, people in the country need decent roads, mail service and, ideally, a local newspaper focused on very local news and information. It isn’t just that local newspapers let people know what’s going on. They’ve historically been the most economical and efficient place for rural businesses to advertise. Everybody who’s paying attention knows that most rural areas and towns have been losing population since about the late 1970s. Along with that you’ve seen rural school consolidations and the loss of some rural churches because there just aren’t enough people to keep them going. Maybe looking at how economic and social connections have evolved over the years can shine a little light on the road ahead.” KB: What most surprised a historic documentarian like yourself while researching this project?

Property Brothers co-host and homerenovation expert Jonathan Scott is on a mission to flip the switch on how Americans access power.

VP of Corporate Underwriting Eric Erickson is a transplant from Southwest Minnesota in high school, graduating from Brandon Valley and then SDSU. While studying radio, TV and film at SDSU, Erickson interned at SDPB in the Brookings studio and started the campus radio station, KSDJ. Out of college, Erickson spent three years with commercial radio stations in Brookings before working for Swiftel Communications. For the past
20 years, Erickson has been in technology sales for companies such as Century Link and SDN Communications. Erickson’s wife is a special education teacher in Sioux Falls. Together they have 3 children. Erickson is involved in the Downtown Sioux Falls Rotary, serves as “tech guy” at his church and the third string drummer. About coming to work for SDPB, Erickson says, “It is such a thrill to work for SDPB! I love South Dakota and the unique qualities of its people and places. To be associated with the network that tells the story of South Dakota is a dream come true. I am so eager to meet the people and the organizations that support this essential resource.”
We didn’t build the communities of South Dakota.
We just brought them together.
We started a little more than a hundred years ago. A wire strung from one fencepost to the next, a phone line bridging an impossible distance. We set out to connect one family to another and then another, until eventually that wire touched us all. Visit GoldenWest.com

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS SDPB2-TV The pastoral farmlands surrounding the Central California Women’s Facility, the world’s largest women’s prison, help conceal the reproductive and human rights violations transpiring inside its walls. Independent Lens Belly of the Beast follows a young woman who was involuntarily sterilized at the age of 24 while incarcerated at the facility who teams up with a human rights lawyer to stop these violations. Together they spearhead investigations that uncover a series of crimes, from inadequate access to healthcare to sexual assault to illegal sterilization—the latter largely perpetrated against the facility’s Black and Latinx populations.

Enemy of the Reich: The Noor Inayat Khan Story brings to life the story of a woman’s extraordinary courage, tested in the crucible of Nazi-occupied Paris. In early 1943, Khan was recruited as a covert operative into Sir Winston Churchill’s Special Operations Executive (SOE). Churchill’s orders: to “Set Europe ablaze.” Betrayed by a French collaborator after four months, Khan resisted brutal interrogation by the Gestapo, escaping twice, only to be recaptured and sent to Germany where, at last, she was executed at Dachau. SDPB2: November 12, 3pm (2 MT)

What would lead approximately 675 volunteer soldiers to attack a peaceful settlement of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians in southeastern Colorado Territory? On November 29, 1864, Colonel John Chivington led a group to do just that, resulting in the deaths of over one hundred men, women and children. The Sand Creek Massacre revisits the horrific events and uncovers the history 150 years later.
Warrior Women is the story of Madonna Thunder Hawk, an AIM leader who shaped a kindred group of activists’ children, including her daughter Marcy, into the “We Will Remember” Survival School as a Native alternative to government-run education. Together, Madonna and Marcy fought for Native rights in an environment that made them more comrades than mother-daughter. Today, with Marcy now a mother herself, both are still at the forefront of Native issues, fighting against the environmental devastation of the Dakota Access Pipeline and for Indigenous cultural values.

Five years in the making, Rising Voices/Hóthaninpi tells the story of a powerful threat to a Native culture. The menace is the English language, and the victim seemingly marked for extinction is the Lakota language itself – the language of the Lakota nation, once usually called the Sioux. For the Lakota people, it’s a local problem, but it’s just one instance of a massive global one – a worldwide epidemic of language extinction.

CHARITABLE GIVING ENHANCEMENTS HELP ALLAY COVID IMPACT
FINANCIAL ADVISER RICK KAHLER OF RAPID CITY EXPLAINS HOW CURRENT TAX CHANGES BENEFIT INDIVIDUALS, NON-PROFITS AND THE ECONOMY.
Rick Kahler.
Whether you are an individual or own a business, donations to non-profits have a bigger impact in 2020. “Individuals who do not itemize, of which there is a growing number due to recent tax code revisions, and married couples who filed jointly can deduct up to $300 per taxpayer, which is $600 for a married couple in annual charitable contributions,” says Kahler. “So that means if they take the standard deduction, they can take an additional $300 or $600 for gifts to a charity. So that serves to reduce their taxable income by that amount. On $600, that could save a person between $70 and maybe $200.” For folks who do itemize, the cap for charitable giving has been removed. “Typically you’re limited to 60% of your adjusted gross income as a cap for gifts. For example, if you made $100,000, you could give away $60,000 of your income. Anything above that, you couldn’t claim that deduction. This year it’s increased to 100% of adjusted gross income. So that means a person can give away 100% of their income and pay nothing in taxes. For somebody who is charitable and has been wanting to make a large gift, they can, where in the past they had to pay tax on 40% of their income regardless. This year they can eliminate their entire tax bill. So, 2020 is obviously a good year to make charitable gifts to charities.”
Kahler says the timing is good and giving goes beyond the receiver. “Charities are desperately needing additional income this year. For many charities, their source of income has been curtailed drastically. Whether it’s advertising, support that they received, or income from various events. Giving can absolutely be a lifesaver to the charities. And it impacts the economy because charities employ people, and charities are consumers as well. So, it definitely helps the economy.” IRA giving is another approach. “People over 70 ½ can give directly out of their IRAs,” says Kahler. “And it’s a tax-free gift to the giver. They can give up to $100,000. It’s called a QCD, Qualified Charitable Distribution, and they don’t have to take it from the IRA, pay tax on it and then give it to the charity. They can just give it directly from the IRA to the charity, and there’s no tax due on it.” Kahler says that the current climate is also favorable for corporations to make gifts to charitable organizations. “What hasn’t been publicized much is the corporate cap was 10% for deductible gifts. A corporation couldn’t deduct anything over 10% of their taxable income. That has been increased this year to 25%.” Kahler puts the increased corporate cap in perspective. “If your corporation had $1,000,000 of taxable income this year, they can reduce that by $250,000. That’s a two-and-a-half times increase. And what it means is a corporation could give that 25%, or in this case on $1,000,000, $250,000 this year. It would take them two-and-a-half years to accumulate the same taxing. So, they can really make an impact this year on their taxes.”
