Legendary Basketball Coach Don Meyer Dies at 69

| Courtesy: AP Photo File/Argus Leader |
Family spokesperson Brenda Dreyer told USA Today that he died at 6:52 Sunday morning in his home in Aberdeen while going through hospice care.
During Meyer's coaching careers at Lipscomb and Northern State, he led both teams into the playoffs 19 times and ended with a record of 923 wins and 324 losses.
He retired from Northern in 2010 after he suffered a near-fatal car crash and was also diagnosed with cancer.
His biggest accomplishments go from receiving the Jimmy V Perservance Award at the ESPY Awards to earning the John Wooden Award at the 2010 Final Four to becoming the nation's winningest coach in men's basketball history before Duke's Mike Krzyzewski surpassed it in 2012.
According to the Argus Leader, while he may not have coached beyond Division 2 basketball, he has made an impact on his players, and colleagues and has created some unique teaching methods.
He is survived by his wife Carmen and his three children. The first memorial service will be held this Saturday at 3:00pm at Northern State University's Barnett Center. The second memorial service will be held on June 1st at Don Meyer Court in Allens Arena at Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN.

200K people signed up before MNSure's deadline
Three weeks after the MNsure deadline was closed, it saw success.
Bring Me the News reports that more than 200,000 people have signed up for public and private health-care insurance through MNSure.
MNsure's interim CEO director, Scott Leitz is pleased with the numbers right now and he also says that the 200,000 people that signed up represents real people. From parents treating their kids to an peditrician, to people going through pre-existing conditions, they would have not been able to get affordable coverage with a public program.
Minnesotans who haven't signed up for health-care plans have to wait until open registration begins on Novenber 15th, or be subjected to pay a tax penalty.

Speech and Chemistry Yields Success
Many students on the SMSU campus are good at something. Some are good in athletics, some are good in music, but one SMSU student combines his two major interests as a way to make his voice heard.
Nick Dorman has been part of the SMSU Forensics Team for 3 years. After breaking finals and getting a number of trophies later, he is now getting the chance of a lifetime. This weekend, he will be competing in the Interstate Oratorical Association National Tournament that will be located on the campus of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
How did he earn this huge honor? He earned it by winning the state oratory category at the Minnesota Collegiate Forensics Association Tournament back in February. In his persuasive (oratory) speech, he advocates for federal regulation of a dangerous chemical called triclosan. This chemical is found in many consumer products such as hand sanitizer.
Dorman told SMSU Today back in February, the reason behind the persuasive speech was a lecture about triclosan in Dr. Steve Kramer's honors seminar course. Afterwards, he then researched this chemical which then turned into an award-winning speech.
Dorman is the second SMSU student that qualified for this tournament since 2002 when former alum Tanya Sponholz won and advanced to the national tournament.
Prior to the tournament, Dorman performed his speech at the Spring Forensics Showcase and he even spoke at a luncheon prior to President Connie Gore's Inauguration. With all of his accomplishments, when you add his academic interests of speech and chemistry, it yields success.
We at KSSU-TV want to congratulate you and wish you the best of luck!!

"Southwest Serves"
While it is now getting down to the wire with classes, papers, and presentations, SMSU students still squeezed in time to volunteer in the community.
This week, "Southwest Serves" dedicated a whole week of volunteer experiences that the SMSU campus community can be a part of. From a food drive, to package 10,000 meals for Kids Against Hunger, to even picking up trash outside of Pizza Ranch which led to a participant founding a $5 dollar bill on the ground.
SMSU Today reports that these activities spotlight the many ways that SMSU gets involved in not just the community but also around Southwest Minnesota.
This week-long volunteer experience is leading up to today's inauguration of SMSU's 9th President, Dr. Connie Gores. The event will take place this afternoon at 2:00p.m. in the R/A Facility. Following the inauguration, a reception will be held at the upper Student Center level.
If you can't be out at today's inauguration, you can watch the event live on KSSU-TV on Charter 18 and WOW 99: www.smsu.edu/campuslife/kssu/.

Teens and Technology
Being a parent of a teenager is hard, especially when it comes to technology. On Monday, middle and high school students in the Marshall area will get a first-hand on how social media affects their daily life and what the dangers are from educator Dave Eisenmann.
Dave Eisemann has spent the last five years talking to schools across the state about technology safety issues especially when it comes to social media.
Marshall High School Principal Brian Jones told the Marshall Independent, that in this day and age, school districts can't expect kids to unplug technology, but they can teach students how to use it responsibly.
Eisemann will also be giving a presentation to parents called Cyber Safety: Catching Up with High-Tech Kids. This presentation will talk about how parents can have an open dialogue with their kids about technology and how parents play a significant role in today's high-tech world. This presentation will take place Monday night at 7 P-M in the Marshall Middle School Theater.
