PRESENTATION-NAIA… Presentation College in Aberdeen hopes to move into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for the 2013 sports seasons.
The school has been competing as an independent in NCAA Division III. Athletic Director Brian Spielbauer says the school has applied to the NAIA and expects to be accepted. If the college is accepted it will be able to offer scholarships to athletes, something it can't do now.
Presentation won't know until April if it is accepted but the school already has begun scheduling games with surrounding schools, such as Dakota State in South Dakota and Jamestown College, Valley City State and Mayville State in North Dakota.
Spielbauer says the school won't seek out a conference until it is formally accepted into the NAIA.
PHEASANTS…Pheasant populations are up in some parts of the state, but a state Game, Fish and Parks official says hunting should be good in places that didn’t see increases.
The resident season began last weekend – non-residents start Saturday.
Wildlife Terrestrial Chief Tom Kirschenmann says weather conditions the past two years impacted numbers: 97621 :19 “not as productive”.
Kirschenmann says a reduction in Conservation Reserve acreages cut into habitat. 97622 :18 “that land again”.
August brood counts show increased populations in several East River locations. 97623 :21 “productive this year”.
Kirschenmann says some traditional hot spots stayed about the same. 97624 :28 “a whole lot”.
Kirschenmann says hunters need to keep track of where steel shot is required, and be careful not to ignite fires.
WILDLIFE & SPORT DAY… Saturday has been declared Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Day in South Dakota.
The proclamation honors the 75th anniversary of the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program and highlights the federal money derived from the program that helps fund wildlife and fish management in South Dakota.
The program was started in 1937 when Congress, working in cooperation with sportsmen and sporting goods-related businesses, instituted a hunting equipment excise tax paid by manufacturers. A similar tax on fishing equipment was added in 1950. Since its inception, more than $13 billion has been distributed to state game and fish agencies across the nation to help fund management programs.
South Dakota received more than $10.8 million in federal aid last year from the program, which comprised about 22 percent of the Game, Fish and Parks Department operating budget.
