He did say that his transfer to the post of superintendent for education at Fort Totten "was not a promotion, it was a lateral" move. "It was billed as a promotion," but it wasn't, he said.

The BIA in Washington moved him out of Flandreau because he testified before a U.S.

"They (BIA) told him as much that something might come down on him. for testifying on behalf of the Flandreau Indian School remaining open," she said.

"My object is to bring money to the reservation, to get people working." The only strong opposition at a public hearing on the refuge proposal came from Mike Ferris, a Pierre businessman and avid hunter and fisherman. Ferris said establishing the refuges would limit public shooting opportunities in a popular hunting area about 35 miles downriver from Pierre. "It's just more public land that we're losing again," Ferris said. "Ido feel that refuges should be for the birds.

From staff reports The Sioux Falls Community Playhouse wants to hire a managing director, a new position to help promote the organization.

"We're looking for someone to represent us on the outside, not doing the production but to increase our visibility in the community," Jan Swank, managing and artistic director, said Monday. Swank, 36, with the playhouse since 1980, said he would remain in charge of production, while the new staff member would be in charge of management. Swank's title might be changed to artistic director as a result. Swank said hiring a managing director would be a logical step for the playhouse. It has nothing to do with a controversy this fall concerning the play Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You, which first led Swank to resign and then withdraw ALL BRANDS RAZOR REPAIR Electrics.
