Mitchell’s Taylor DeJong also qualified for the final and finished in eighth place at 122-7
It was her first podium finish at the Dakota Relays
Adding to a lengthy track and field resume

setting a new personal best and the second-best time by a South Dakota Class A athlete this season
Bennett County’s Peyson O'Neill raced to the 300-meter title in 43.36 seconds
a time that ranks third all-time in South Dakota prep history
Fargo (N.D.) Davies’ Kate Laqua (43.66) was second and Sioux Falls Christian’s Halle Braun (44.56) was third
Defending Class A boys discus champion Shawn Hammerbeck put forward another podium performance at Howard Wood Field on Saturday

Hear from Teacher Education student Kiara Stickney as she shares how the people she's met and the experiences she's had at Santa Clara have helped shape her into the educator she's dreamed of becoming
Kiara Stickney’s love for working with children has taken her all over the globe with the Peace Corps and as a Fulbright Scholar
but a calling to teach a bit closer to home brought her journey to Santa Clara University
Her time at Santa Clara has been characterized by personal growth and invaluable mentorship– read more about it below.
Stickney has always held a passion for working with our youth
but Stickney’s first post-undergraduate step towards a career in education was a stint in the Peace Corps.
but this was my first time working with younger kids
and creating meaningful bonds with my colleagues and students was so valuable.”
which brought her to State University of Tetova in North Macedonia
This gave Stickney useful experience teaching older adolescents and adults
and she followed up the experience by earning her first Masters in International Education from American University
that gave her the nudge towards SCU.
“While I really enjoyed teaching internationally
returning home during the pandemic made me realize that I should ensure I’m able to work with youth closer to home as well,” says Stickney
“My mentor was telling me about what a great fit SCU was for her
and how some of her favorite professors are still teaching
While the content knowledge from her classes is important
being hands-on in the classroom has been one of her favorite parts of the program
Stickney has even been able to complete her student teaching placement at a school she was already volunteering at prior to SCU: Los Paseos Elementary in San Jose.
I’ve had the opportunity to teach second grade and a fourth and fifth grade combo class
I’ve enjoyed the experience of learning how best to structure learning when two grades are involved
plus being able to work with and watch the growth of students I met prior to SCU has been really special,” Stickney notes.
In addition to her appreciation for the School’s flexible class schedules and modalities
and its location allowing her to be close to family
Stickney is also grateful for the scholarships that have enabled her to attend SCU.
“With the student teaching and classes
there’s little time available to work
One of the scholarships I received was also tied to a community service component
incorporated into the coursework I needed to take
This focus on community service was one of SCU’s values that really stood out to me and influenced my decision to attend,” says Stickney.
Stickney hopes to apply all she’s learned at SCU to teaching kids in 2nd-5th grade.
“The mentorship I’ve received at SCU has been so meaningful because it’s helped me learn not only how to support my students academically
but also how to teach them about life values
you’re helping your students navigate new social situations and regulate their emotions,” Stickney shares.
“You’re giving them consistency
which isn’t something every kid has outside of the classroom
You’re building relationships with them and showing them you’ll continue to have their back
and the kind of teacher SCU has helped me become.”

(WWSB) - After reports of traffic backups on Siesta Key due to work on Stickney Point Bridge
the Florida Department of Transportation will move work to overnight hours
Crews had been conducting functional bridge opening tests and had rerouted traffic to Siesta North Bridge
FDOT will shift Stickney Point Bridge construction work to overnight hours starting next Monday
No bridge work is scheduled over the weekends from Friday through Monday morning
Work continues Mondays through Thursdays from 7 p.m
We’ve received multiple calls to the ABC7 Newsroom about heavy delays
This is causing concerns among residents who are also concerned with high numbers of visitors and upcoming spring break traffic
FDOT advises using Siesta North Bridge instead
FDOT tells ABC7 the work should be completed by the end of March
State transportation officials will close one eastbound lane of Stickney Point Road on Tuesday
and the Florida Department of Transportation reminded motorists that there will be minor
intermittent closures on the road overnight until Thursday
"Motorists wishing to travel off the island on April 15 may wish to use the north bridge instead," FDOT said in a statement
It will be the final daytime closure along Stickney Point Road
which has been difficult for motorists at times this year due to roadway improvement projects
The state has been conducting maintenance work on Stickney Point Bridge
which is expected to be completed by the spring
"This bridge is currently in the final stages of an improvement project that will extend the bridge's service life and operational reliability," an FDOT project sheet said
"mitigating the effects of the harsh coastal environment
and wear from the volume of vehicle and marine traffic."

Consistent with Strategy to Optimize Business Portfolio and Enhance Free Cash Flow
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Koppers Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koppers Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KOP)
today announced that the company will discontinue phthalic anhydride production at its facility in Stickney
was driven by significant near-term capital spending requirements that could not be economically justified by end-market projections
An ancillary benefit is an improvement in the site's environmental footprint as annual emissions of certain regulated air contaminants are expected to be reduced by 50 to 70 percent
Koppers has targeted mid-2025 for the shutdown and expects to ramp down production of phthalic anhydride over the next six months as the company builds inventory to supply existing contracts through 2025
as necessary. The closure of the phthalic anhydride plant will not impact Stickney's coal tar distillation operations
which manufacture products including creosote
The phthalic anhydride plant at Stickney was constructed to consume naphthalene
a byproduct of the coal tar distillation process
as a feedstock to produce the chemical intermediate used to manufacture plasticizers
phthalic anhydride has become less profitable as lower naphthalene production resulted in a need to supplement production with a greater proportion of higher-cost third-party feedstock
This action is expected to result in pre-tax charges to earnings of $51 million to $55 million through the end of 2026
Approximately $28 million constitutes non-cash charges anticipated to be recorded in 2024 and 2025 with approximately $23 million to $27 million over the next two years going toward cash expenditures
Ongoing operational and capital expenditure savings have been incorporated into the company's current 2025 goals of $300 million of adjusted EBITDA and $65 million to $75 million of capital expenditures
"The decision to close the phthalic anhydride plant demonstrates our ongoing willingness to critically assess our portfolio and pivot from underperforming businesses when it is clear that improvement is not on the horizon
we can continue to enhance our competitive position in healthier markets to drive better long-term returns
Ceasing operations at any plant is never easy
I want to thank our dedicated employees who have worked hard over the years to serve our customers with quality products. I am mindful of the impact this decision has on them and am committed to ensuring that they are supported through this transition."

MITCHELL — For one of the high-scoring offenses in Class B
every point counted for the Sanborn Central/Woonsocket girls basketball team on Thursday night
the Blackhawks were able to overcome their offensive woes to defeat Corsica-Stickney 45-43 in the Class B SoDak 16 to clinch a spot in the state tournament
a team that averages more 60 points per game
struggled to get the offense rolling early
Leading scorer Liz Boschee was held scoreless in the first half as SCW looked for answers
Goertz also hit the most critical shot of the night
Down by two with less than 90 seconds to go
she finished a difficult shot at the basket
earning a foul in the process to get a 3-point play that put SCW in front by one point
I knew I just had to finish strong because I hadn't been finishing strong earlier in the game
So just finish strong and get to the free throw line.”
“[Alexa] just makes plays like that,” SCW head coach Rob Baruth said
“Lizzy's been doing a lot of stuff and tonight
I'm proud of her and that's what being a senior leader is about.”
Even though Goertz picked up the scoring tab
Boschee came up big when SCW needed it most in the final minutes of the matchup
Boschee finished strong in the final minutes
scoring critical points from the floor and at the free-throw line to aid SCW’s late comeback
Addison Bartholow finished with 12 points and four rebounds
Kaylie Robinson finished with four points but grabbed a team-high nine rebounds
Braylee Bordewyk finished with a team-high 18 points
Sophie DeLange finished the night with 12 points and Sydney Spaans finished with eight
The game was a rematch from earlier in the season
with the Jaguars winning the first matchup 44-43 in Corsica on Dec
C-S head coach Kyle Wieczorek said this team came a long way from the beginning of the season and that there’s no reason for the Jaguars to hang their heads following the loss
“I am very proud of our team,” Wieczorek said
“We have come so far from the beginning of the year to now
It's unbelievable the progress these girls have made
Sixth-seeded SCW will face third-seeded Lyman in the Class B state quarterfinals on Thursday
March 13 in Huron with tip set for 7:45 p.m

As Morgan Stickney reflected back on her experience winning two gold medals in swimming at the Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020
she could think of little that surprised her during the Games
despite the fact that it was her first international meet ever
her first time leaving the United States and still less than two years removed from becoming a double amputee
“In my life I’ve done a pretty good job with the curve balls thrown my way,” the Cary
has a vascular condition that she shares with just one other person in the United States
which prevents sufficient blood supply from reaching her limbs
took her from being able-bodied to losing parts of both legs in the span of a year and a half
It started when she was 14 and rated one of the top swimmers in the country in her age group in the mile
and the pain continued to worsen over time
She found herself on a steady stream of painkillers
Stickney and her medical team made the decision to amputate her left leg below the knee in May 2018
She was back in the pool in no time, and quickly made an impact in Para swimming
winning the 100-meter and 400-meter freestyle events at the national championships before the year was over
The same downward spiral she’d experienced with her left leg started over again in her right
An angiogram conducted at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General showed no blood flow past her right calf
and Stickney had a second below-the-knee amputation in October 2019
She made her Paralympic debut in Tokyo and won gold in the 400-meter freestyle S8 as well as the 4x100 medley 34 points
until I stood on the podium after winning the 400,” she said
“There’s a huge difference between racing and having other people believe in you
and racing when you actually believe in yourself
Stickney has continued to collect honors over the last three years
most recently winning world titles in the 100- and 400-meter freestyle
But Stickney has since lost even more of her legs to the disease
She was reclassified from an S8 to an S7 prior to last year’s world championships
She’s spent a third of the last year in the hospital in Boston — spending nine days at a time unable to leave the hospital or sometimes even her room — getting treatment
There are still many unknowns when it comes to her medical condition
spending nine days a month in the hospital
But leading up to Paris we had to do what was going to be best for me
and ensure that I didn’t lose any more of me
That’s why we’ve been doing the treatment this way
because things were going really downhill with my limbs.”
Stickney has always been driven to set and reach her goals, and even with the medical challenges since Tokyo that remains true. Swimming and being able to continue to push her body through sport is something that helps get her through the hard days in the hospital
when she dreams about getting back in the pool
When she dreams about simply being able to get a breath of fresh air
“It would be so special (to return to the Paralympics),” she said
than the last time because of everything I’ve been going through
It’s just always such an amazing experience
and I could never say enough positive things about being able to represent my country
It was so special to go to Tokyo just after losing both my legs
and being faced with this awful thing in life and turning it into a positive
I feel like I’m trying to do that same thing with my situation now.”

(WWSB) - Siesta Key drivers say it was a much easier time getting onto the key Friday after ongoing construction on the Stickney Point Bridge caused major traffic on both sides of the road this week
They add that island visitors have been expressing some frustration about the slow downs
‘how are you doing today,’” said Kelly Mersberg
who’s been working as a valet on Siesta Key for 8 years
it just took me an hour and 15 minutes to get here from the village.’”
Mersberg says Friday was a different story
and he says it took just five minutes to cross the bridge
The lighter traffic follows a statement from the Florida Department of Transportation Thursday
announcing they would do the maintenance work on an overnight schedule when work starts up again next week

— There’s growing optimism inside the Corsica-Stickney girls basketball locker room
a new group of Jaguars are ready to guide the team into the playoffs
Corsica-Stickney currently sits with a 13-6 record and as the projected No
would be the Jaguars’ opponent ahead of its final regular-season game against Bon Homme on Friday
Much of the focus in the offseason following a 7-12 campaign a year ago was improving the team’s chemistry on the floor and the players’ familiarity with one another
a trait second-year head coach Kyle Wieczorek noticed right away as he himself continued to get to know the players
“They just put the time in,” Wieczorek said
“They spent a lot of time in the summer together and also me getting to know them better
I give a lot of credit to them and how hard they work.”
Wieczorek became the Jaguars head coach in 2023
the year following star player Avery Broughton’s graduation from Corsica-Stickney
and quickly developed a defense-first mentality with the players
the Jaguars have had a top-15 scoring defense in Class B
There was also the question of who out of the current roster was going to step up and fill Broughton’s shoes
as the team didn’t have a defined player leader a year ago
formidable duo Braylee Bordewyk and Sophie DeLange have jumped into the role
“They wanted the job of being a leader,” Wieczorek said
“I think it’s just a little bit of maturity and experience gained from last season
We were kind of looking for somebody to step in and buy in what you’re trying to sell to the players.”
is found usually at or near the top of the Jaguars’ scoresheet at games this season
five assists and five steals at the DWU Classic on Feb
14 or scoring 19 points with five rebounds in the Great Plains Conference Classic on Feb
“She has a motor and never quits,” Wieczorek said of Bordewyk
“It’s 100% all the time and sometimes you wish you’d maybe dial it back a little back
but that’s what she is and what she’ll continue to be.”
is also near the top of scoring charts for the Jaguars
Haydynn Johnson and Daryan De Vries have seen regular playing time in the Jaguars’ lineup
Having a week between its last game on Feb
Corsica-Stickney will continue to make defense the focus and work on neutralizing opponents’ ability to get inside against the players
Though the goal is to make it back to the state tournament
the leap forward by the Jaguars is one they’ve taken in stride
“They just keep getting better and better,” Wieczorek said
that kind of improvement from one year to the next doesn’t happen very often
We’re better from the beginning of the season and hopefully it’ll get better from today until the end of the season.”
The girls region basketball playoffs begin on Monday
with first-round games and the quarterfinals on Tuesday
