Kudos to one of the SDWC readers.

Area Men Earn State Honors

Swier, Nesselhuf To Receive Service Awards

Scott Swier never saw it coming.

When the Yankton man was told he would be receiving one of 10 Outstanding Young South Dakotan Awards from the South Dakota Jaycees this weekend, he could barely believe his ears.

"I was very surprised, very pleasantly surprised but very surprised and very honored," said Swier, a long-time attorney who now works out of Sioux Falls and a very active volunteer in the Yankton community. "It was a very humbling experience to be included in the list of honorees."

Swier isn't the only area person who will be honored with a black-tie banquet and awards ceremony tonight (Saturday) in Watertown. Benjamin Nesselhuf, a Vermillion insurance agent and South Dakota lawmaker, will also be recognized for his public service, and personal and professional accomplishments.

"I had to rent a tux," Nesselhuf said. "I guess this is a pretty big deal."

Each year, the Jaycees selects 10 people to receive its Outstanding Young South Dakotan Award. To be eligible, the nominees must be ages 18-41, and either be a South Dakota resident or have lived in the state at least five years at one time. In addition, they must have contributed significantly to society and realized great personal accomplishment.

"We're looking for the real movers and shakers," said Angie Weber of Hartford, who serves as the Jaycees' award chairperson. "All of the honorees have demonstrated that they're proactive in their communities and have done great things."

There is no doubt that Swier and Nesselhuf fit well into this profile.

See. I'm not only snarkiness about the Pierre City Commission tonight. Congratulations to Senator Nesselhuf from the South Dakota War College.
