Hunger relief group says it's facing a $2.5 million budget shortfall due to federal cuts
Feeding South Dakota's Rapid City location on May 30, 2025. (Seth Tupper/South Dakota Searchlight) South Dakota's largest hunger-relief organization says it faces a $2.5 million budget shortfall next year because of President Donald Trump's federal funding cuts. Feeding South Dakota CEO Lori Dykstra addressed lawmakers on a budget committee Friday in Pierre. She said the group has already cut the amount of food it provides and has merged distribution sites. She warned that unless the funding gap is filled, 21 food distribution events in 15 counties will be eliminated, affecting 3,400 families and eliminating more than 1.7 million meals annually. 'We're not here to say whether or not the federal funding decisions are right or wrong,' Dykstra said. 'We're just letting you know that one of the unintentional consequences is that the food safety net for Feeding South Dakota and for all of your neighbors facing hunger is at risk.' The cuts come from the rollback of federal aid by the Trump administration, particularly programs begun during the COVID-19 pandemic to help the U.S. Department of Agriculture support food distribution. Dykstra said the group must now find $2.5 million to replace lost USDA support in fiscal year 2026, which begins July 1, or make cuts. Dykstra also warned that if the current budget reconciliation legislation in Congress is enacted, the state could be on the hook for 5% of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits and a larger share of SNAP administrative costs, adding up to a possible $13 million total state obligation. SNAP participants can use their benefits to purchase food. 'SNAP benefits get people out of food lines,' she said. 'So, it's either they're in the food bank line or they're in the grocery store.' Dykstra said 113,000 South Dakotans are food insecure, meaning they are uncertain about where their next meal will come from, often forced to skip meals, eat less, or purchase cheaper, less nutritious food.

Legislature's property-tax panel sets work plan
PIERRE, S.D. (KELO) — The special panel that will look at cutting South Dakota property taxes has decided to search for ways to reduce spending by public schools and state, county and local governments, as well as seeking new revenue sources and making state government responsible for a larger share of K-12 funding. State committee discusses possible SNAP cuts The Legislature's Comprehensive Property Tax Task Force set that plan Friday during a free-flowing teleconference that saw Republican Sen. Chris Karr chosen as chair and Republican Rep. Jon Hansen as vice chair. They were prime sponsors of the resolution establishing the panel. 'Before the session started we knew there was growing concern by our citizens of South Dakota,' Karr said. He said achieving 'meaningful tax relief for South Dakotans' would be one of the bigger issues for the 2026 Legislature. 'I believe there is a solution,' Karr said. 'I think we can do better.' The 16 legislators will split into three work groups — five lawmakers for schools, six for local governments and five for state government — and be assigned based in part on their preferences. Five public meetings are planned, starting on June 25 in Sioux Falls and followed July 17 in Rapid City and August 13 in Aberdeen. The final two will be in Pierre on September 23 and October 22. 'Everything needs to be on the table. We need to stay as broad as possible,' Republican Sen. Taffy Howard said, including tax-increment financing districts, optouts, spending cuts, and state government taking on more K-12 aid. Property-tax relief for homeowners is being emphasized by Hansen, who's running for governor in 2026. Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden, who worked with a group of legislators and got a property tax measure passed in the 2025 session, hasn't said yet whether he'll be a candidate. Representing Rhoden's administration as non-voting members on the panel are state Finance Commissioner Jim Terwilliger and former legislator Kirk Chaffee, a retired Meade County director of equalization. Terwilliger will be part of the state government work group, while Chaffee will be on the local government group. Howard, who traveled to Aberdeen earlier this week where she introduced Republican gubernatorial candidate Toby Doeden at his campaign announcement, said the task force should aim high. She posed a goal that she admitted might be 'pie in the sky.' 'Ideally,' she asked, 'what if we could eliminate property taxes on homeowners?' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

What does June have in store for us?
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Warmer weather is in store for the weekend, just in time for the start of June. Meteorologist Jaelyn Borresen has a look at how common this is. All Bowdle 6-12th grade students to attend Edmunds The start of Meteorological Summer is approaching and it will definitely feel like it going into the weekend. An upper-level ridge will move in and boost highs across KELOLAND into the 80s. As we flip the calendar on Sunday, how often is it that we see temperatures at or above 80 on June 1st? With averages currently ranging from the low 70s West River to the mid 70s East River, it is not extremely common. If we take a look into the record books, June has started off in the 80s only about 35% of the time for Sioux Falls. Aberdeen and Pierre were similar near 31%. Although Sioux Falls was just shy of 80 on June 1st 2024, Pierre and Aberdeen reached lower 80s. Rapid City had the lowest frequency, with the most recent 80-degree reading on June 1st occurring in 2020. They reached 86 degrees, which was the second warmest June 1st on record. While the warmth will create a great weekend for outdoor plans, cooler and more unsettled weather looks to arrive early next week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

EastEnders 'recasts huge role' as character returns after eight years away
EastEnders is reportedly set to see the return of Albert Square youngster Oscar Branning - however, there's a new actor who's rumoured to be stepping into the role. It has been eight years since Oscar last appeared on our screens, with the son of Max Branning and Tanya Cross last played by twins Neo and Charlee Hall. Now, Oscar is rumoured to be returning to the BBC soap with Pierre Moullier being cast in the role. Pierre has appeared in My England and The Jumper Factory at the Young Vic, but already has one TV credit under his belt. He appeared in Fate: The Winx Saga - Netflix's supernatural teen drama which was cancelled after two series back in 2022. Pierre is reportedly taking on the role of Oscar, with a source telling The Sun: "It is an exceptional bout of casting - Pierre looks more like a younger Jake than Jake did himself. It's uncanny." They added that Pierre will "bring something new to Oscar", who will be setting "the cat amongst the pigeons in the Square". The BBC declined to comment when The Mirror reached out for comment. Earlier this year, EastEnders fans were convinced that Max Branning - played by Jake Wood - would be returning to the Square after spotting a 'huge clue'. After Lauren and Peter became engaged back in April, viewers speculated that Max would return for the big day. "So a max return for peter and lauren's wedding??" penned one, as another responded: "Need that immediately". "Max, Tanya and Oscar's return looms surely #eastenders," predicted another, while a fourth penned: "I think Cindy will definitely come back for the wedding - either alone or with Max. Lauren will give birth on her wedding day and Cindy will reveal that she shot Ian in February. This will create further tensions between Peter Ian & Kathy later down the line." However, fans will know that Peter and Lauren are set to reach breaking point in coming weeks as the couple struggle over baby Jimmy's recent diagnosis and Lauren's battle with addiction. It's been a dramatic week on EastEnders, with Zack Hudson and Teddy Mitchell crashing their car into a lake after Zack discovered that he was actually Barney's dad. On Wednesday, viewers learnt that Teddy had managed to escape the sinking car - but that Zack hadn't been found.
