There are roles for 12 males and four females in Pierre Players' production of "Born Yesterday." The vulgar, egotistic junkman Harry Brock has come to a swanky hotel in Washington to make crooked deals with government big-wigs. He has brought with him the charming but dumb ex-chorus girl Billie, whose lack of social graces embarrasses even Harry. Billie must be taught some of the amenities and a few basic bits of information. The young, idealistic magazine reporter Paul Verrall, who has been investigating political skullduggery and is interested in Brock's activities, agrees for a salary, to educate Billie. He finds Billie has a natural honesty and a frank streak in her, and she begins to learn about history, politics, and what Harry really is and what he wants. At a dramatic moment, she rebels against being merely a tool in Harry's crooked schemes and refuses to sign the documents which she has come to learn are part of an ambitious effort to defraud the public. This precipitates a crisis, as Billie readies to leave Harry for a new life of her own. Harry's reaction takes the only form he knows: physical violence. Billie now knows that she can no longer have anything to do with Brock, and realizes she and Paul have fallen genuinely in love. Just before she leaves Harry, she helps Paul get hold of incriminating documents of Harry's which will result in scandal and disaster. At the end, Paul and his promising pupil turn their backs on the anti-social and anti-democratic Brock and strike out on their own.

Although slavery is commonly thought to be a thing of the past, human traffickers generate hundreds of billions of dollars in profits by trapping millions of people in horrific situations around the world, including here in South Dakota. Traffickers use violence, threats, deception, debt bondage, and other manipulative tactics to force people to engage in commercial sex or to provide labor or services against their will. Please join us for this important event as we raise awareness about this issue in our own backyard. Space is limited!

Four informational sessions have been scheduled to educate the public about the Outdoor Pool Committee's plan to replace Pierre's current pool. In February of 2018, Mayor Harding appointed a Municipal Outdoor Pool Committee. The volunteer group was tasked with developing a conceptual design to replace Pierre's current 90 plus-year-old outdoor pool. Burbach Aquatics, a pool consulting firm, was hired by the City to facilitate the meetings and serve as a technical expert to the group. The meetings are open to the public. Committee members will be on hand at each of the meetings to answer questions about the proposal.

Planning for Transition to a Next Generation?
Do you know who's going to take over leading your business? Do you know how? Do you know when?

If your business is a family business, passing on leadership to the next generation is never easy. Decisions about who is best suited to lead and when the new leadership should begin often creates tension and conflict. It makes families ask: Which is more important - getting along? Or getting ahead? And how can we decide while managing emotions?

Positioning to Sell?
Whether yours is a family business or not, you may be interested in positioning your business to sell it. If your decision is to sell your business, learn how to define and implement possible exit strategies.

Preparing for an Emergency?
What happens if a key person in your business is suddenly unable to work? Learn the types of information to capture to ensure your business can continue to operate in the event of an emergency.
