The March 10 effort will benefit Make-A-Wish® South Dakota, enabling the chapter to grant more travel wishes to kids across the state. More than 65 percent of the wishes granted by Make-A-Wish require air travel, the largest expense of the chapter’s annual wish budget. Miles from Delta and United are accepted. Once the miles are donated they never expire and 100 percent of the donated miles stay in South Dakota. Over the last four years more than eight million miles have been donated, saving the organization thousands of dollars in airfare. Watch KSFY or NewsCenter1 March 10 for more information. Miles will be accepted that day by calling 1.800.640.9198. Miles can also be donated online anytime at southdakota.wish.org. A minimum donation of 1,000 miles is required for Delta and 500 miles for United. To expedite the process, you need to have your account number and know exactly how many miles you would like to donate. “Donating unused airline miles is a unique way to help us make travel wishes a reality,” Paul Krueger, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish South Dakota said. Krueger said no matter how many miles you donate, the impact is tremendous. He said it takes 40,000 to 50,000 miles for one ticket and once your miles are donated to Make-A-Wish they will never expire.For travel wishes typically the wish child, his or her parents or guardians and immediate siblings living at home are included in the wish. Krueger said Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, is the most popular travel destination, Hawaii is second and other wish trips take kids all over the country and even the world. “This past year we sent kids to Los Angeles, Orlando, Denver, Nassau, Bahamas, and even Tokyo, Japan,” Krueger said. “Donated miles go a long way to helping bring down the costs of the wishes.” The statewide effort is made possible by KSFY, NewsCenter1, Midco Connections and Midco Make-A-Wish South Dakota was founded in 1984 to grant the wishes of children between the ages of 2 ½ and 18 with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Since its inception, Make-A-Wish® South Dakota has granted more than 1,180 wishes. Fifty nine wishes were granted last fiscal year and more than 60 kids are in the process of receiving a wish. The average cost of a wish is nearly $7,000. Visit southdakota.wish.org or call 605.335.8000 for more information.

The Dakota Power and Community Wind want to take that wind and use it to produce energy and recently completed the Campbell County wind farm with 55 wind turbines. The energy produced at that wind farm is sent to New York. “South Dakota is a very windy state,” Johnson said. “But, our problem is that we don’t need it because of what the population is.” South eastern South Dakota has some of the best winds in the state by proposing a wind farm northeast corner of Clay County to send to the east coast, where the cost of energy is almost twice as much. “It’s a great economic opportunity,” Johnson said. He proposed a community wind project, Dakota Power and Community Wind, using all local investors. Currently, the board is made up of all Lincoln and Yankton county residents. The first step in the project would be to build a meteorology tower to measure wind speed and velocity. A number of towers have already been placed in Lincoln and Union. “All that does is give us data to tell us how good the wind is,” Johnson said. “That’s how you figure out where to put the wind turbines. The wind engineers take the data and crunch it and tell us where the best wind is.” Once those locations are found, Dakota Power and Community Wind will ask the land owners to use their land for the project with no guarantee anything would be placed on the land, or they could get a turbine. “They could do whatever they want with their land, all we ask is they don’t disturb the wind,” Johnson said. Landowners who agree to the project are awarded in some way whether or not a turbine is placed on their land. “If you sing up in the footprint of the project, whether you get anything or not, you’re going to get something,” Johnson said. “If you have a turbine on your land, you get 70 percent of the revenues of that turbine. If you’re somebody who doesn’t have a turbine, but you have a route collector system going through your property or when you have a road you get 20 percent. And if your neighbor signed up but for whatever reason, maybe you have wetlands and there’s nothing we can do, you still get 10 percent. So, everybody who participates gets something.” A turbine would take up about an acre and a half of land and land owners will have no responsibility on maintenance or taxes for the turbines on their property. The turbines in Clay County are expected to produce $18,000-$19,000 per turbine per year depending on efficiency. The Clay and Yankton County Commissioners also held a joint meeting as the Clay/Yankton Ditch Board at Toby’s Lounge in Meckling on Tuesday afternoon. The Clay/Yankton Ditch board elected to keep the Ditch Levy for 2016 at 8 percent and the Clay Creek Ditch Board elected to keep the Ditch Levy at 40 percent for the Clay Creek Ditch Cleanout Project. Other topics discussed: City engineer Jose Dominguez had to move the application regarding the right of way project on 464 Avenue because utilities was not notified of the public hearing held by Clay County on Feb. 9, which is required by the state. A weight limit resolution to enforce weight limits on Clay County roads by the highway patrol was approved Star Energy was accepted for the propane bids at 79 cents per gallon and Brunick Service was accepted as the diesel quote at $1.34 per gallon at the Vermillion and Wakonda shops The commissioners approved welfare case #C16-04 Tell them you saw it in the Broadcaster!
