ranged from "good memories of fish-
ing at Bonanza with my family" to "I
came for the food!". The opening
exercise had its intended effect; it was
a relaxed, informal environment•
Moore related what he had learned
during a recent trip to Boston
Massachusetts: "Paul Revere was a
guy just doing his job" said Moore,"
and he was all but forgotten until
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote
that poem about him back in the
1860's. The poem created a legend, a
mystique, that eventually led to the
restoration of Revere's home, the Old
North Church, and a whole tourism
and visitor industry in Boston."
Recounting early stories of frontier
visitors to the Big Stone Lake area,
Moore noted that the Bonanza area
has similar potential. "How did
Bonanza get its name? Who lived
here? What's the story behind this
place?" he asked the group. "These
are things I want to know!" History,
according to Moore, is an important
part of building an area's identity.
In another anecdote Moore shared
with the crowd, he related how
Benjamin Franklin and friends., a
group many call "America's founding
fathers"•, began by meeting in a tav-
ern in Philadelphia. "Just a bunch of
guys getting together in a bar and talk-
ing." said Moore. After a short pause,
he concluded: "It just goes to show
you how a small group of people can
do big things."
Bonanza Education Center has
recently achieved status as a 501(c)3
nonprofit corporation. It has also
begun offering yearly memberships to
individuals, families, and businesses.
As coordinator Matyi Sundheim and
the B-E-C board continue to work on
funding options for the coming year,
memberships will play a very impor-
tant part in the center's future.

E-C member, or more information

You'll love this vintage 1963 classic!
It's one of the few produced Aug. 5,
1963. Very little rust and only a few
wrinkles on body. Rear end ok. Able
to blow a gasket when overheated.
A little terreramental in cold weath-
er. Becoming louder with age, may
need a new muffler. Must see!

Duck season proposed with
changes, Goose season unchanged
Most of South Dakota's 2003
waterfowl seasons would open Sept.
27 under a recent proposal by the state
Game, Fish and Parks Commission.
"Changes proposed are meant to
conform to the federal framework,
which will be submitted to the states
in early August," said state Waterfowl
Biologist Spencer Vaa of Brookings.
Recommended changes for the
state's duck seasons from last year
include:
• Change the starting date tbr the
Low Plains north zone from the third
Saturday in Sept. to the fourth
Saturday in Septemblr.
• Change the starting date for the
Low Plains middle zone from the
Saturday closest to Oct. 1 to the fourth
Saturday in September.
• Change the starting date for the
High Plains season from the Saturday
closest to Oct. 1 to the fourth Saturday
in September.
• Change the season length for pin-
tails in each zone from 39 days to the
same season length as other species
(except canvasbacks).
• Change bag limit for scaup from
3 to2.
Essentially, most duck seasons
would open on Saturday, Sept. 27 this
year and continue through Dec. 9.
Exceptions would include the Low
Plains south zone, which would open
Oct. ! 1 and continue through Dec. 23,
and the High Plains season that would
end on Jan. 1.
"That is the earliest possible dates
for season openings and will provide
the maximum opportunity possible
for duck hunting," Vaa said.
Vaa also noted that there were no
recommended changes for the state's
2003 goose seasons from last year.
"However," he said, "goose hunting is
under the same rule chapter as duck
hunting, so the goose season is still
open for modification during finaliza-
tion if there are changes that are given
with the federal framework•"
Individuals can submit comment
by attending the public hearing at 2
p.m., Thursday, Aug. 7, at the
Brookings Inn in Brookings. Send
written comments to Game, Fish and
Parks, 523 E. Capitol, Pierre, S.D.
