‘City of Hustle' writers discuss their chapters
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — It's been about two and half years since a book highlighting Sioux Falls' history hit store shelves.
City of Hustle is a collection of stories about the state's largest city.
When readers turn the pages of City of Hustle, they may learn something new about KELOLAND Media Group.
News Director Beth Jensen penned one of the chapters, detailing how KELO got off the ground and how it's changed over the years.
Brookings' JOANN closing along with others nationwide
'It's important to note how it started and how difficult those founders had it from having to record their segments and taking them to Harold's for film developing and then running them out to the tower in Rowena for broadcasting ,' Jensen said.
Retired attorney Doug Hajek's work is also featured in City of Hustle.
His chapter is primarily about Citibank's move to South Dakota.
He says there has been misconception about how it happened.
'The New York media like to portray it as something that when we changed our usury law, which is a maximum allowable interest rate, that we did that because Citibank asked us to, but they didn't. They had nothing to do with that,' Hajek said.
On Monday, Jensen, Hajek , and former state senator and Minnehaha County commissioner Tom Dempster talked about their chapters at a meeting of of the Rotary Club of Downtown Sioux Falls.
Hajek says the response to City of Hustle has been very positive.
'There are a lot of very interesting stories in it,' Hajek said.
'I love Sioux Falls, so I really devoured it,' Jensen said.
You can pick up the book in several Sioux Falls locations, including Zandbroz and the Falls Park Visitor Center.

National Donut Day glazes KELOLAND
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — While National Donut Day is a nationwide holiday, local businesses are getting a taste of it in Sioux Falls. 'It's kind of like the Super Bowl for donut shops. We definitely look forward to it every year,' said Ben Duenwald, Owner of Flyboy Donuts. South Dakota's fall pheasant outlook is 'very positive' Yonutz Donuts and Ice Cream opened in Sioux Falls last month, just in time for the occasion. The franchise has gained popularity due to its signature 'Smashed Donut' which combines a warm pressed donut with ice cream filling. At 3 p.m. Friday, the first 50 customers at Yonutz will get a free big donut, and then at 7 p.m., the first 50 people can get a free simply smashed donut. But the celebration is more than just an excuse to eat donuts. The day originates back to World War I when female Salvation Army volunteers would serve soldiers on the front lines. 'They could treat the troops in the trenches quickly by giving them something homemade,' Duenwald said. 'A ring donut is easy to cook because it's a lot of surface area. That's why there's a hole in it on it.' Duenwald says Friday's donut holiday is the biggest day for them. On Friday morning they made over 20,000 donuts in preparation, and they continue to prepare them throughout the day. Flyboy Donuts now has five locations throughout Sioux Falls and Duenwald says they've had thousands of people throughout all their locations. 'I've realized that donuts are more of the American fabric than even the hot dog or the apple pie, in my opinion,' said Duenwald. 'Everybody has a memory, a nostalgic memory with donuts or the donut shop they might have grown up with.' Other donut shops and bakeries in Sioux Falls include Mr. Donuts, Queen City Bakery and CNC Food Factory. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

GFP wants Purple Heart vets to use state parks for free
PIERRE, S.D. (KELO) — Members of the U.S. armed forces who suffered wounds and received Purple Heart decorations may soon get into South Dakota state campgrounds and rec areas for free. The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Commission on Thursday approved granting lifetime entrance permits to Purple Heart recipients. The commission also decided that Purple Heart recipients can stay at state campsites for half-price. The commission took the actions Thursday during a meeting in Aberdeen. The changes came at the request of Connie Stone, who filed a petition asking for them. She is coordinator for veteran services at South Dakota State University in Brookings. The South Dakota Legislature's Rules Review Committee will have final say on whether the rules take effect. The six lawmakers are scheduled to next meet on Tuesday, June 10 in Pierre. The commission's pending entrance rule states: 'A resident of this state who is a recipient of the Purple Heart is also entitled to a free lifetime park entrance license. The resident shall fill out a form provided by the Division of Parks and Recreation and mail it to the Pierre office with a photocopy of the Purple Heart citation or award certificate.' A companion pending rule would reduce the fee for camping. It states: 'A resident of this state who is a recipient of the Purple Heart is also entitled to purchase a camping permit, campsite electrical service, and camping cabin permit for one-half price upon completion of a form provided by the Division of Parks and Recreation accompanied by a photocopy of the Purple Heart citation or award certificate. These discounts are for the use of the recipient only, and are not transferable.' Al Nedved, deputy director for the state Division of Parks and Recreation, spoke in support of the proposed rules on Thursday. He said approximately 150 to 200 Purple Heart recipients currently live in South Dakota. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
