We have the best group of Jaycees in the nation!  We've assembled a team of people on Team 2001 that I would put up against anyone in the nation, because we can blow the competition away.  South Dakota Jaycees, thank you for what you have accomplished this year. We have many things left to do, and we are going to have a lot of fun getting there.  Always remember the importance of how we help our communities, the importance of working as a team, and the importance of believing in our common goals.  Together we will continue to grow stronger, and together we will make a difference, both for this year and future generations of Jaycees.

Take care and keep believin'

Community Development Vice President

Hello,from Garretson, I know I missed the last state mailing so, for those of you who don't know I am Louis Hentges, 2001 Community Development VP. I hope everyone's Hot Shots and Shooters Ed programs are going well. Keep me informed.
I have been informed that on of the furnaces at the Jaycee Camp, near Baltic, needs to be replaced. If any chapter can make a donation to help with this, please contact myself or NVP Greg Kludt. I will be contacting some chapters in my home area to get help with this. Greg and Chad have some plans for the camp that could bring in some more money, these will be discussed at Feb convention. I, along with them,
am always interested to hear new ideas to help the camp in any way possible.
I have enjoyed my first month as VP and am looking forward to the rest of the year. So keep the emails and newsletters coming and I'll talk (or email) you back. Hope to get a chance to visit with every chapter before to long. Keep believing.

In Jaycees
Louis Hentges, CDVP

Where does the time go? We all live such busy lives with so many things going on at once.

Life sure would be boring if we weren't so busy!!! What would you do if you had extra time?

I bet you wouldn't know what to do with it! So don't complain about all you have to do and how little time you have to do it in, just do it, keep going and know that what you do today may help someone else tomorrow. Don't squander time, it's what life is made of!!!

Call, write, or e-mail me your suggestions. I will compile them into a set of guidelines or do's and don'ts that all chapters can utilize.

Greeting Jaycees,

The WEST is off and running looking to have a great year. The chapters in my district are Hot Springs, and Lead Deadwood. With several members attending LOT'S we have a lot of new idea's and energy to carry us this first trimester. Both chapters are running hot shots and are looking to send participants to the state competition to represent the west. We look forward to continued excitement and hard work from all the west region chapters. Look forward to seeing all a district, or state event.

Yours in Jaycees,

"DDD in the SE" District Director Dave of the South East;

Dream. Make plans, believe in yourself, and go for what you want.

Coyote submission for state mailing
Just a reminder the deadline for the upcoming issue of
the coyote is earlier than last year -- it is April 1
(no joke intended :)
Keep in mind there's a challenge out there all can
participate in --- Every submission will be for either
the Southeast, Northeast, West or South Central
region, program managers or the executive board.
Whichever group sends the most items (articles,
pictures, blurbs on upcoming projects etc) gets to
share a cooler of beverages provided by me. The cooler
will be presented at May convention.

Hope to see many submissions -- Elisa Bentler

NEDD Elisa

Are you getting excited? You should be, this year is
going to be great! Projects are in the planning in
Humboldt -- including the chapter's infamous Casino
Night, which is in the works for March -- Flandreau
and Watertown are also going strong.

Hope to see everyone in Mitchell!

Fellow Jaycees -

I am writing my Jaycee States to offer something great - a chance to make history. Much like our most recent Presidential election, the US Jaycees have an opportunity to make something happen in 2001 that has not happened
in quite some time. Of course, I am hopeful that our historical opportunity will be to make our entire organization grow in membership. While this may not seem as historic as the closest election in more than one hundred years, it is no less monumental.
We live in times when volunteerism is steadily declining, and only we can change that, by reaching out to our next generation of leaders and asking them to get involved. If you begin by targeting the people who will take over this organization long after you age out, you are talking to the right people. Just ask what they would like to do, and you might be surprised by their answers. They want the same things you and I did at age 21 - great careers, meaningful lives in strong communities, and good friends. Jaycees can provide the leadership skills they need to achieve those things. The
United States still provides one of the greatest places to offer leadership skills to others. We are free to run nearly any project we choose.
In a fit of inspiration one day, I was writing down my thoughts on the Florida election situation, and I came to realize something else about this great country we live in. Below is what I wrote, in a message to someone who
was trashing the U.S. for the silliness that was taking place in Florida.
Not until much later did I re-read this and feel that it may be worth keeping and sharing with others:
"While we all have grown tired of the nightmare that was the Presidential Election, and whether we are Bush or Gore fans - we should celebrate one particular part of that seemingly unending process. We are one of only a few countries in the world that are stable enough to have no bloodshed, civil
war or bullet-riddled uprising by radicals, etc. Our democracy kicked in, with all of it's checks and balances of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of our government. The fact is - we got our President elected - AND the system our forefathers laid out to handle rare situations like this, STILL WORKS!"
"I hate the frivolous pursuit of lawsuits as much as anyone, and certainly, political power, greed and selfishness are at the root of many political agendas today, but the underlying system, though dormant for long stretches of time, rises up and ultimately allows for a well-though-out decision by
some of the wisest people in our country. So - let us rejoice that we need not resort to charging into the white house and driving out dictators with guns and firebombs (see the former Yugoslavia), for we have a working system to ultimately decide based on representatives of the people, elected by the
people." No government system is perfect, but our forefathers certainly deserve credit for creating a system that stands the test of time. I for one am still proud of America, even with the silliness and problems we have. At least we are free, as Jaycees, to try to help fix the silliness and problems!

Keep Sharing Jaycees,

Greg J. Kludt

Jaycee HotShot is a basketball skills competition, which involves shooting baskets from five Hotspots, marked on one half of a basketball court. The competition tests a participant’s speed, shooting ability, dribbling skills and rebounding ability within a series of one-minute time periods. Three one-minute rounds of HotShot constitutes the

duration of play and the participant with the highest number of points in accordance with the following rules is declared the winner.

Each Jaycee HotShot is two feet in diameter. Using the template on the following page, the measurements are taken from the point on the floor directly under the center of the basket to the center of each Hotspot:

1. The left comer: Center Hotspot A at 12 feet-score worth 2 points

2. Left of the key: Center Hotspot B at 18 feet-score worth 4 points

3. Top of foul circle: Center Hotspot C at 21 feet-score worth 5 points

4. Right of key: Center Hotspot D at IS feet-score worth 3 points

5. Right comer: Center 1-fotspot E at 15 feet-score worth 3 points

The Hotspots can be marked with chalk, masking tape or other appropriate materials.

A participant has one minute to score as many points as possible. Starting at the center of the half-court line, he/she dribbles into shooting range and shoots from the Hotspots in any sequence.

The participant can attempt as many lay-ups as he/she wishes, however, only two lay-ups are scored, each worth two points. All other shots must be taken from any of the five Hotspots. Five bonus points are awarded if a player attempts one shot from all five Hotspots. An additional ten points are awarded if a player attempts a second shot from all five Hotspots. All totaled, a bonus of 15 points shall be awarded during a one-minute round, if a competitor attempts two shots from all five Hotspots. These points are awarded regardless of whether the baskets are made.

1. When shooting from a Hotspot, a player must begin the shot with at least one foot within the center of the Hotspot. A disqualified shot will not count towards points or towards the bonus.

2. If the ball lodges between the basket and backboard or if the ball goes out of play, play is stopped and the ball is retrieved. Play and time begins at the spot where the contestant took the last shot.

3. One point is subtracted for each dribbling and motion violation. (Palming, walking, or double dribbling)

4. Ties are settled by a one-minute playoff.

5. All scores and decisions made by the supervising official are final.

6. Three one-minute rounds constitute a competitors score.

I am allowing my child to compete in the HotShot competition sponsored by the local Jaycee chapter. I understand that the Jaycees are not responsible for accidents that could occur while participating in this competition.

Fellow Jaycees:

The Lake Preston Jaycees will be hosting the 2001 South Dakota State Hotshot Competition on Saturday, February 24, 2001 at the Lake Preston High School Gym. We would like to challenge all chapters to host a local Hotshot competition so that you are eligible to send your kids on the State competition.

Enclosed you will find the necessary forms and rules needed to host this competition. Each participant should receive a copy of the rules and bring a signed consent form when they register. One local winner from each age/sex division will be eligible to compete in the State competition. Also, you will find the starting times for each age/sex division (registration for each is ½ hour before their scheduled play times).

The Hotshot competition is an easy, fun, and inexpensive program for any chapter to run. We encourage the local chapters to sponsor your winners for the 2001 State competition. Registrations need to be signed and received along with the $30.00 registration fee to the address below by February 1, 2001. No registrations will be accepted the day of the competition. If you have any questions, please contact Kim Williams at 847-4635. Registrations should be sent to:
