Harter, a rural Winner rancher, told the commission Tuesday he didn’t have time to pre-file testimony or to respond to TransCanada’s discovery requests of him. Harter said he’s been fighting against the project for eight years. The proposed route would cross his land. “I’m involved in this be- cause they drug me into this. They wouldn’t take no for an answer,” Harter said. Commissioner Nelson told Harter that pre-filed testimony was Harter’s opportunity to tell TransCanada about his objections. Instead, Harter now is prohibited by the commission from presenting witnesses and evidence in direct testimony at the hearing. “Fine with me,” Harter replied. The proposed Keystone XL pipeline would carry tar-sands oil from Alberta through Mon- tana, western South Dakota and into Nebraska where it would connect with an exist- ing shipping network. TransCanada received the original permit from the PUC for the South Dakota segment of the project in 2010. But because construc- tion didn’t start within the four-year window set in state law, the company must certify all of the permit conditions would still be met. The project hasn’t received approval from President Ba- rack Obama’s administration to pierce the U.S. border from Canada. Bill Taylor, a Sioux Falls lawyer representing Trans- Canada, told the commission that legal boundaries hadn’t been set by the commission as tightly as they would be in a civil court proceeding. “This isn’t a retrial,” Taylor contended. “Unfortunately that line has been blurred in the course of discovery.” Taylor said he would prefer much stricter sanctions against the interveners who didn’t meet the commission’s requirement for pre-filed testimony. “In my mind it’s not ap- propriate to allow them to participate at all,” Taylor said. “Then they’re making their case through the backdoor, without telling us what their case is.” The commission rejected a request from various inter- veners that a special master or referee be appointed to sort through the discovery disputes on behalf of the com- mission and make recommen- dations to the commission. The commissioners voted 3-0 to keep that responsibility solely in their hands. “I would rather plow ahead, move forward,” com- missioner Kristie Fiegen said. Hanson agreed. “I think the more involved we are, the more learned we are on the issues,” he said. Nelson observed there hasn’t been the level of negotiation and compromise “on either side” that has been often seen in other matters before the commission. “The people of South Dakota didn’t elect us to drop our job on somebody else. They elected us to make the hard decision,” Nelson said. That meant spending the later afternoon going line by line through discovery dis- putes filed by various parties. He added, “Although it would be an appealing thing to do.” The commission began its meeting at 9:30 a.m., took off for 60 minutes at mid-day, and stopped occasionally for the court reporter to stretch for five or 10 minutes. “We’re going to finish this today,” Nelson said at the 4:45 p.m. break, with no clear end yet in sight. “Keep plowing.” LOTTERIES Pipeline From Page 1 among those five and will net the person(s) responsible for submitting it $10,000. Committee member Michelle Cwach said she’s seen a great reception for the contest. “We’ve got an incredible response from community members,” Cwach said. “Eve- rything from the desire to update Yankton’s infrastruc- ture, getting event centers, a lot of responses for sports complexes, trying to connect Vermillion to Yankton, a lot of people who want to incorpo- rate Yankton’s history to at- tract tourists and just a wide variety of responses.” Currently, ideas are available for viewing on the group’s website. Many ideas have been submitted from encouraging a more robust immigration population to uti- lizing the river more through developing property along it or even adding riverboats for tourism. Marsh said it’s not just individuals submitting ideas either. “I’m looking forward to hearing from our friends at Mount Marty College because they have told me that they are all working together as a college to submit an idea,” she said. “They have some big names behind that.” She said while the commit- tee will choose an idea, it’s ultimately up to the commu- nity itself to make the big idea progress. “The main thing to remem- ber is it’s up to Yankton to make this big idea happen,” she said. “Everything starts with a big idea and we’re hop- ing that will then build some community pride.” Cwach said now that the initial hype for the contest has passed, an aggressive social media campaign will be key to keeping the momen- tum up. “I think we’ve been doing a great job on the social media sites,” she said. “We are continually posting on Twitter and Facebook little clips of the ideas and its really been promoting a lot of conversations on these social platforms. If we keep doing that, it’s going to keep getting people excited. It seems every time we post an idea, people jump all over it and are excited to share what they think, how they think that could be incorporated into our community and if there’s a need for it.” — — — For more information on Onward Yankton and to browse through idea submis- sions, visit http://onwardy- ankton.com/.

the more involved we are, the more learned we are on the issues,” he said.

Nelson observed there hasn’t been the level of negotiation and compromise “on either side” that has been often seen in other matters before the commission.

“The people of South Dakota didn’t elect us to drop our job on somebody else. They elected us to make the hard decision,” Nelson said.

That meant spending the later afternoon going line by

line through discovery dis-putes filed by various parties.

He added, “Although it would be an appealing thing to do.”

The commission began its meeting at 9:30 a.m., took off for 60 minutes at mid-day, and stopped occasionally for the court reporter to stretch for five or 10 minutes.

“We’re going to finish this today,” Nelson said at the 4:45 p.m. break, with no clear end yet in sight. “Keep plowing.”

among those five and will net the person(s) responsible for submitting it $10,000.

Committee member Michelle Cwach said she’s seen a great reception for the contest.

“We’ve got an incredible response from community members,” Cwach said. “Eve-rything from the desire to update Yankton’s infrastruc-ture, getting event centers, a lot of responses for sports complexes, trying to connect Vermillion to Yankton, a lot of people who want to incorpo-rate Yankton’s history to at-tract tourists and just a wide variety of responses.”

Currently, ideas are available for viewing on the group’s website. Many ideas have been submitted from encouraging a more robust

immigration population to uti-lizing the river more through developing property along it or even adding riverboats for tourism.

Marsh said it’s not just individuals submitting ideas either.

“I’m looking forward to hearing from our friends at Mount Marty College because they have told me that they are all working together as a college to submit an idea,” she said. “They have some big names behind that.”

She said while the commit-tee will choose an idea, it’s ultimately up to the commu-nity itself to make the big idea progress.

“The main thing to remem-ber is it’s up to Yankton to make this big idea happen,” she said. “Everything starts with a big idea and we’re hop-ing that will then build some community pride.”

Cwach said now that the initial hype for the contest has passed, an aggressive

social media campaign will be key to keeping the momen-tum up.

“I think we’ve been doing a great job on the social media sites,” she said. “We are continually posting on Twitter and Facebook little clips of the ideas and its really been promoting a lot of conversations on these social platforms. If we keep doing that, it’s going to keep getting people excited. It seems every time we post an idea, people jump all over it and are excited to share what they think, how they think that could be incorporated into our community and if there’s a need for it.”
