ANOTHER YEAR OF EXCELLENCE FOR B-H INTERP

ANOTHER YEAR OF EXCELLENCE FOR B-H INTERP
The Britton-Hecla Oral Interpretation team had another great State Festival this past weekend, com-peting in Class A for the first time.

    The Britton-Hecla High School oral interpretation team came home from the State Oral Interpretation Festival in Sturgis with a Team Excellence Plaque for the sixth year in a row - this time after moving up to Class A competition.  
    Senior Oliver Moeckly led the team by earning two superior medals.  He and fellow senior Jerod Nebrida medaled with their duet at state for the second year in a row.  Moeckly also earned the top state rating with his oratory.  
    Junior Paisley Bray was just short of making the award stand with her poetry presen-tation, as was Sophomore Carter Chapin in the storytelling division.  Braydon Casey, the other senior on the team, traveled as an alternate.  
    The coaches, Christina Bosse and Gretchen Christenson, indicated that the competition was fierce this year.  “We are extremely proud of the top-notch performances by all the students this season.  The graduating seniors will leave a big hole to fill, but there is a large pool of talent in the younger classes, and we are already looking forward to a strong team next year.”

Poll: END OR RETAIN EXPANDED MEDICAID COVERAGE? South Dakota voters will decide in November on a proposed constitutional amendment that would end the state’s expanded Medicaid coverage if the federal government’s share of funding for the expansion falls below 90%. The expansion, approved by voters in 2022, provides Medicaid eligibility to certain adults ages 19 to 64 with incomes up to the federal limit established by the constitutional amendment. The proposed amendment would remove that expanded coverage if the federal funding level drops below 90%. If the election were held today, how would you vote?
