PIERRE, SD (KELO.com) — The South Dakota Bankers Association is teaming up with the Attorney General’s office as part of a nationwide effort called “Banks Never Ask.”

Bankers’ Association President Karl Adam says it focuses on antipphishing and scamming awareness.

The Attorney General’s Office and the South Dakota Bankers offer these tips:
 Scammers will advise you not to talk with others regarding the transaction – this is a RED flag.
 Organizations, including banks, and government agencies do not ask for money by telephone or on the internet.
 Do not click on pop-up messages that appear on computers.
 Talk to someone you can trust before you provide money or personal information to someone who contacts you.
 Check and double check email addresses if they are asking you to send money.
 If the caller represents a business or government agency, don’t trust the telephone number they give you. Hang up and call the organization’s office.
 Treat calls or emails demanding immediate action with suspicion.
 Do not give into high pressured sales tactics.
 Do not provide financial or personal information over the phone or via the internet.
 These scams are like other such scams – offering you something for money, but not delivering.
 Do not deposit a check and then wire money.
 If you are asked to send money, get off the telephone and seriously think about you are being asked to do.

SDDOT reminds public not to put election signs on state highway rights-of-way

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – The South Dakota Department of Transportation is reminding the public that political campaign and ballot-issue signs are not allowed on state highway rights-of-way.

“This time of year, it is common to find election signs placed along the state’s roadways,” says Craig Smith, Director of Operations.

“Illegal signs create a safety hazard and may distract motorists from seeing important regulatory or directional signage.”

The right-of-way is for official highway signage only.

Signs not required for traffic control, as per SDCL 31-28-14, are prohibited and will be removed by SDDOT crews.

Municipal ordinances on campaign signs do not take precedence over state jurisdiction over state highway rights-of-way.

South Dakota extends AD Jon Schemmel through 2030-31 academic year

The University of South Dakota announced on Wednesday, April 22, that Athletic Director Jon Schemmel has received a five-year contract extension running through the 2030-31 academic year.

Schemmel has been in his position since January 2024 and was South Dakota’s senior associate athletic director for development from 2012-2017.

“The University of South Dakota and Vermillion community is where our family wants to be,” Schemmel said in a press release. “I am humbled and grateful for the continued trust from President (Sheila) Gestring and the South Dakota Board of Regents to continue leading this athletics program. Coyote Nation has the best fans and donors, and we have a group of coaches, staff and student-athletes who are committed to competing for championships and continuing their excellence in the classroom and community.”

The athletics department has raised $49 million since Schemmel took over as AD, including $35 million in the 2025-26 academic year.

The Coyotes have won a Missouri Valley Football Conference championship and Summit League volleyball and men’s indoor track and field titles with Schemmel at the helm.

“USD’s athletic programs continue to thrive under Jon’s leadership,” Gestring said. “His knowledge of Division I athletics, forward-thinking vision for our teams and strength in fundraising have all been assets to our university. Our program is in great hands, and I am looking forward to seeing what Jon, his staff and our student-athletes achieve in the next five years.”
