Champions at the Capitol

This week, we welcomed the South Dakota State University football team to the South Dakota State Capitol in Pierre. On January 8th, the Jackrabbits brought home a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) national championship win against North Dakota State University! This was not just any victory – it was a win against their rivals. And thanks to SDSU’s excellent play, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum has to keep a Jackrabbit helmet in his office for the rest of the month.

oem South Dakota’s economy has been thriving over the past few years, but even though our unemployment rate in 2022 was the lowest it’s been in our state’s history, we still have 23,000 open jobs in our state. These are growing pains, and we’re tackling them head-on.

A Note From Cottonwood Corners

Area newspapers and law enforcement personnel during the later part of the 1800s and the earliest part of the 1900s reported on the activities of those who were suspected or participated in the theft of livestock on the open range. The following tells of one of those rustlers who lived on the Rosebud: “This region (Charles Mix County) was infested by a tough gang of horse thieves and cutthroats in an early day. Hartrett and Henry Hyer were hung in La-Roche Township in 1871.” It is not known if Jack Sully was involved in rustling with these two individuals; however, it was reported that “Among those who enjoyed this hanging bee are said to have been William Kinkaid, Jack Sully, Bill Cunningham, and others.”
