   Monday Gives us the Rock Report-----Rock Nelson---

 (605)-484-4572 Mike Richardson – Programing Director of Dacotah Territory International Visitor Program – Rapid City, South Dakota.
   How did your organization get its name? Our founding Board combine “Dacotah” to recognize the Native American history of our region, with “Territory” to recognize our settler history.  The “International Visitor Program” came from what our National Organization was called at the time.
What services does your organization provide? We set up the transportation, housing, and appointments with the area of interest for the group coming in.  In some cases, we are directly contacted to do the program, others we send in proposals on upcoming projects and compete with other areas in the U.S.
Where do you provide your services? All of SD, the Northeast section of Wyoming, and by special request of the Congressional Office of International Leadership in North Dakota.
What makes your services so special vs. the services that your competitors provide? Our competition comes from other organizations outside our state to host the delegations.  The people of SD and ND are what makes our programs special.
How did your organization get started? I was contacted by a contract agency in DC to help on a special program in the Black Hills.  After a couple of years, I asked how I could get involved in more programs and areas of interest.  That led to forming a Board of Directors and applying for recognition from
DC for our organization to provide programs in SD.
How old is your organization? 27 years old.
Are you a “one man shop”? Yes and no.  I am the only part-time employee at this time.  We contract for transportation, motels, and other part-time help as needed. 
   Do you have volunteers in Sioux Falls and Rapid City? Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Pierre, Pine Ridge, Gillette Wyoming, and Bismarck ND.
Is your organization growing?  And if so, why? At this time, we are recovering from the Covid pandemic over the last 2 years.  All programs were cancelled or at least postponed during that time.  We have now had 3 in person programs in 2022. What grows are the volunteers in various areas of the  
regions and various areas of interest.
What countries do you work with? All counties recognized by the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Congress.

  Still to come----Mr. Tree---Alla----and Laura Edwards---

(((MUSIC---THIS OLE HOUSE)))))

(((((YEE HAH---I’m Bill Zortman and Welcome to It’s YOUR Business Show---the start of a new week---with lots to share---and learn as we go---yes It’s Show 52-34 in our ORIGINAL IT’s YOUR Business Series.)))

 

   We were closing the week---with a Hefty----not Darren who had to be on the road---but his nephew---Zach----

   It centers around something very, very important to our audience---Scholarships----Zach explained it very, very well---we are talking about 100 College Scholarships which will be given away ---on June 27th.

   When you can get the Hefty’s helping with the scholarships---we will be talking about on-going until the 27th.

    What we did get Uncle Darren---and Zach to do was to come back and share with you this morning----what it is all about---and who is eligible and should enter----

    Zach---Darren---tell us about the scholarships----

    Who can enter----and just how they do enter------

---------------Zach-Darren---------------

    Darren of course is apart of a national broadcast that shares agriculture---what he sees----and where we are going-----You can bet with the show coming from our neighborhood----that South Dakota gets a lot of attention---plenty about South Dakota---new trends in agriculture---and what to look forward to ---like this event and those 100 scholarships—College Scholarships---

 

    Darren----

    Zach-------

    ------tell us about the scholarships-----

    ------who should apply---and what do they need to be sharing with those that will read their entry to win one of the 100------

    ------Zach---tell us about your experience being on the air with us---and how you would be willing to work with those that want one of the 100 scholarships----

-------------------Zach---------------

    Darren----from your prospective—why is this important---what kind of people do you envision winning a scholarship---and what are your hopes for how it will the winner in I’m sure more than one way----

------------------Darren-----------------

    Zach---the kind of questions you I’m sure have already been answering about who wins and how far can it take them-----

------------------Zach--------------------

    You know South Dakota---you know agriculture in this state---what kind of winners do you see coming forward---and what can it do—for their future?

  -----------------Zach--------------------

    Kind of questions you can answer for those in our audience----

  -----------------Zach--------------------

    Darren when you were creating these 100 scholarships---what was your hope-----and can it be generational changing for those that do get a scholarship?

-------------------Darren-----------------

    How long do our listeners have before they need to have applied for one of the hundred scholarships?

--------------------Darren/Zach----------------

    What needs to be included in a scholarship application-----and the kind of scholarship winners you envision-----

---------------------Darren-------------------------

     Zach---your experience--- working the scholarships---representing the Hefty family-----and reaching those that could easily make a real difference in the years ahead?

---------------------Zach/Darren--------------------

---keep us posted---and please let us have the opportunity to visit with as many of the scholarship winners as possible. That would allow us to learn as well----

 

  It’s another week closer to elections----we’ll let Casey Crabtree take his usual slot---filling us in on what we should know in political circles---

9:18/00—KELO Commercials

9:19/30---It’s YOUR Business----Monday 2

   Lots of chatting going on about elections---who represents what—and where everything is going----Casey Crabtree helps us see what he is seeing—what he is hearing-----and some of the most asked questions South Dakata residents believe are most important to them---

-------------------Casey--------------------

    Biggest concerns South Dakotans have about their candidates---and where we are headed in the years ahead?

--------------------Casey-------------------

    Kind of concerns you have picked up----from our residents—about who is running---and what they would do if elected or re-elected---

---------------------Casey------------------

    Runoffs---- some surprise survivors----but what do you see deciding it from here----

---------------------Casey------------------

    General Mood that is out there from South Dakotans-----whether it be state returns---Sioux Falls Returns----or what else would you add----

----------------------Casey-----------------

    Still to come—we’ll talk about the Sioux Metro Alliance----all 17 or so communities----their model catches our attention--- and certainly helps those 17 or is it 18----to work together---and really can make a different in elections over several counties---Fox Business News is next—

Jannelle Cain, C5P, COS, SDREC Approved Instructor

Pedigree Mgmt & Courses., LLC

   We know that you can help a number of the members of our audience---she continues to  be a part of our Monday Report card show on one Monday of the month---and the Remodelers Show on the 2nd Tuesday of the month---

   In those shows we bring together the heads of the Home Builders—the Remodelers----Bankers with several different approaches----and the show has become one of the cannot miss updating in each month. The show was originally tied together—with our show more than a decade ago----so much to learn—from so many people.

   Pedigree Mgmet and Courses---fit together---

-------------Janelle share with us what you are seeing---where are we headed now that we are mid—June----with most of the summer still to be written---

--------------Janelle-----------tell us as well about your Pedigree Management Courses---who really needs to learn or be a part of the property investment management accounts and commissioned rentals, developed and implemented aggressive accounting---and who could be a good part of the property investment management accounts and the rentals---

----------------Janelle--------

   What have you seen now in our area—for nearly the first 6 months of 2026?

-----------------Janelle---------

   You have a history of building thriving companies by really adopting a proactive, consumer-centric business model which positioned independent client to maximize their investment capital and overall profitability---

------------------how they reach you—and help become a part of the Pedigree Team----

---------when we come back---we’ll look at how 17 communities continue to work together------in the times where there should really be more communities outside of a Sioux Falls----that can contribute and flourish---

Stay with us---Tyler Torgeson Sioux Metro is next---does your community belong---you decide after you listen in---

 

9:44/00—KELO Commercials

9:45/30---It’s YOUR Business Monday---4

  To me perhaps the best model of working together---is one we feature in our It’s YOUR Business Show----

   Tyler Torgeson----talk about where you have been so far in June—and where you still see Sioux Metro going before July 1st—in 2 and a half weeks---

------------------Tyler----------------

    Your model---how it was put together-----and are there other communities you have helped with ----

------------------Tyler----------------

    The elections-----lots of want to be office holders ---even in Sioux Falls----saw that if you have 17 communities working together and you are a bigger city----like Sioux Falls----what you do---and how you do it---is really quite the model-----

-------------------Tyler----------------

     Lots of communities—like where I live—Hartford—is crowning their Little Miss Hartford this week----on Wednesday----yes I’m back helping interviewing the would be Little Miss Hartford----and giving them an opportunity to be on stage---answering questions---and learning the poise that is so special for young ladies---today, for the Saturday parade---and in the future.

 

     One thing I have seen is how the 17 or so communities want to and do attend events in those other towns. And yes then when your community has a big annual event—a good number of those 16 or so really want to come out and make you proud with your day in the sun.

 

    We’ll get you ready for our 10:00—It’s YOUR Agri Business Show----when we come back—

9:54/00—KELO Commercials

9:56/00---It’s YOUR Business------

  Coming up in our 10:00—Agri Business Hour----we’ll share with you what Darren Hefty---Ag PHD and his nephew Zach did with 100 scholarships. You might want to re-listen—or listen for the first time.

-------------------Tyler----------------
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lots of communities&mdash;like where I live&mdash;Hartford&mdash;is crowning their Little Miss Hartford this week----on Wednesday----yes I&rsquo;m back helping interviewing the would be Little Miss Hartford----and giving them an opportunity to be on stage---answering questions---and learning the poise that is so special for young ladies---today, for the Saturday parade---and in the future.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One thing I have seen is how the 17 or so communities want to and do attend events in those other towns. And yes then when your community has a big annual event&mdash;a good number of those 16 or so really want to come out and make you proud with your day in the sun.
