LEAD, S.D. (KEVN) – As the snow falls thoughts of winter sports come to mind. At Terry Peak we find out how they’re preparing for the season and when people can go hit the slopes.

Tourism is a large part of the economy for the Black Hills and when winter rolls around more people come for the winter sports.

“It gets a lot of people here from not only North Dakota, Minnesota, Eastern South Dakota, but even Nebraska and we have a lot of Wyoming visitors as well so it’s very important to our winter economy,” says Linda Derosier, the marketing director at Terry Peak.

The staff at Terry Peak are doing everything they can to get the slopes ready in time for the season.

“We’re excited and we should have most of our runs open by Christmas Holiday if not before so everybody’s been doing a lot to get the place rolling and get the snow coverage out there,” Derosier says.

At the beginning of the month snow operations began making snow and they continue to create piles, and flatten out the slopes to create perfect conditions for skiing and snowboarding.

“We like to start it November first that way it gives us about a month. We like to open on the first part of December. So a good month, that’s temperatures allowing so it varies a lot. Every year it’s different,” says Timmy Leppert the snow operations manager.

Cold weather and snow help to prepare the slopes, and so far Terry Peak is on schedule to open the weekend of December 8th and for the season December 15th. If you don’t know how to ski or snowboard, that’s not a problem because they can teach you here.

“All you have to do is come dressed warm, make sure you have gloves and we can rent you the equipment and we have a great ski school that will provide beginner lessons to the more expert lessons. We have over a thousand set of ski rentals and almost that many snowboards so we have plenty of equipment for everybody,” says Derosier.

Though it’s far from the minds of most, a handful of would-be politicians are already thinking about the next municipal election — set for the first Saturday in May — and gearing up for their campaigns.

At least six people have filed campaign-treasurer appointment forms, including Frankie Gonzales-Wolfe, a transgender woman and political consultant. Joined by a number of supporters, she kicked off her campaign for the District 8 council seat this month at an Italian restaurant.

Filing a treasurer appointment doesn’t officially make someone a candidate, but it does mean that she can start raising and spending campaign money. The filing period for a place on the ballot runs from Jan. 16 through Feb. 15. Election day is May 4.

For more than two decades, Gonzales-Wolfe has worked behind the scenes in politics, and now it’s time to step and front and run, she said.

“I feel like this time around, I’m going to feel like I can have my own voice,” she said. “I’m looking at just wanting to do something good within our community. I have a different vision that’s eventually going to come out for City Council District 8, and I’m hoping to be able to implement that.”

The basis of her platform, she said, was “more inclusion.”

Gonzales-Wolfe, who would apparently be the first transgender person elected to a Texas city council, said she would increase transparency and public involvement with local governance.

Though she’ll face Councilman Manny Pelaez, the incumbent’s track record isn’t what spurred her to run.

Pelaez said for the time being, he’s not focusing on a reelection campaign because he’s working on constituent issues.

“I imagine voters feel fatigued with political campaigns right now. They’ve earned a much-needed break from yard signs, mailers and block walkers,” he said.

Two men in District 1 have filed treasurer paperwork — Justin Holley and Brad Kessler, who appointed himself treasurer of his campaign — to potentially challenge incumbent Roberto Treviño. Councilwoman Rebecca Viagran could wind up facing a challenger in Elizabeth Campos, and Maria Perez has filed a treasurer appointment for the District 10 seat, currently held by Clayton Perry.

And in citywide mayoral race, Matthew S. Piña, who also appointed himself to be his own treasurer, appears poised to challenge Mayor Ron Nirenberg. Though he’s yet to announce what he’ll do, Councilman Greg Brockhouse also appears poised to launch a mayoral campaign to unseat Nirenberg.

He and others are likely keeping their powder dry until after the holidays. Traditionally, politicians wait until January to announce their intentions, though early declarations aren’t completely unheard of.

SALINA, Kan. (KSNW) – Law enforcement officials in Salina say they’re aware of the incoming winter conditions starting Sunday morning.

And, with the roadways as busy as they are, it seems travelers are also aware.

Kansas Highway Patrol is urging drivers to use caution in the snow, and slow down.

They say to keep a distance between you and the drivers in front of you and stay away from phones and other distractions.

A trooper in Salina says this is especially important with more drivers on the road trying to beat the conditions and return home.

“There’s been more traffic tonight than I’ve seen in a long time, I-70 and I-135 have been very busy tonight so far, and I’m guessing that will keep going through the night and into the morning,” said KHP Trooper Levi Fleming.

“We were supposed to stay through till tomorrow afternoon and we were so nervous looking at the weather reports that we thought we have to be back in time,” said Kansas City resident Devon Barnes.

Trooper Fleming says Salina has seen snow in recent weeks but this may be the first storm where ice is a big issue.

ALAMEDA, Calif. — Derek Carr recalls the last conversation he had with Michael Crabtree, who served primarily as the security blanket for the Oakland Raiders quarterback the previous three seasons.

“Standing around the corner in the hallway, begging him not to leave,” Carr recalled Wednesday.

“‘I promise I’ll throw you the ball,’ I said. He had two or three of his best, statistically, years of his career. That means a lot to me. I told him, ‘I’ll throw it to you,’ and knowing him, he probably wanted it more. But that’s Crab. He’s one of the most competitive people I’ve ever been around. I think the world of him. I miss him, I do. I wish him the best. I always keep up on my phone making sure he’s doing well and all that. I really do wish the best for him and his family.”

Turns out it was not Crabtree’s decision to make, whether to stay in Oakland or go elsewhere. The Raiders made that choice for him March 15, cutting him before signing Jordy Nelson that same day.

And while Carr and the Raiders will see Crabtree on Sunday in Baltimore — he signed a three-year, $21 million deal with the Ravens on March 16 — the moves have not really worked out for either side.

After catching a combined 232 passes for 2,543 yards and 25 touchdowns from 2015 through 2017 for the Raiders, Crabtree has 42 catches for 479 yards and two touchdowns this season. He had just one 7-yard catch in the Ravens’ defeat of the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Nelson, meanwhile, has just 25 catches for 353 yards and three scores and missed the Week 11 victory over Arizona with a bone bruise on his knee.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh would not compare Crabtree’s output from previous seasons to this year with Baltimore. Harbaugh would say only that Crabtree was “great” for his team.

“He works hard,” Harbaugh said during a conference call with Bay Area reporters. “I just love his attitude, work ethic, demeanor. He’s been clutch for us in a number of games, he’s come up with some big plays, clutch plays for us. I’m happy with him, and I really expect him to have some big games here going forward down the stretch. We really need him to. He’s important to us. I feel very blessed that we have him on our team.

“He had a heck of a game blocking this last game. He had some very physical blocks. For a wide receiver of his caliber to block the way he does gives a lot of insight into the type of person that he is. He’s a very unselfish guy.”

The knock, though, on Crabtree throughout his 10-year career has been that he is a great teammate on a good team … not so much on a bad team.

Or did you miss his final star-crossed season with the San Francisco 49ers in 2014, when he derisively called himself a “third-down receiver” and a “fourth option” for Jim Harbaugh and Colin Kaepernick?

What about after the 2017 season finale, when Crabtree lamented his disappearance from Oakland’s offense in the final weeks, saying, “I do everything I’m supposed to do. I play 60 minutes every time we play. Game winners after game winners. I do everything they ask of me [but] these last two games and I’ve probably had three targets. But nobody is saying anything about that, but it’s all good. I’m going to keep working hard, man, and be me.”

Getting his chain snatched by Aqib Talib in 2016 and 2017 and responding by fighting was understandable in the Raiders’ locker room, even if he had to serve a suspension.

Crabtree downplayed the notion of facing his former team.

“Next game,” Crabtree told Baltimore reporters this week. “We’re on the end of a stretch right here, so every game counts for us. The next game is the Raiders.”

So, no special meaning?

“Oh, no,” he said. “[I’m just] playing football.”

Maybe. But Crabtree did leave a positive vibe, as well as some tips, in the Raiders’ wide receiver room.

“Working on my game, overall, with my releases, top end of my route, just everything, everything you could think of as a receiver, he was helping me with,” Keon Hatcher said. “Catching the ball is my game, but Crab was like, ‘That one you drop, it’s that little bit of focus, so lock back in.’

“Crab showed mad love from the start. He’s a real down-to-earth guy … he took me in right away, under his wing, just teaching me, showing me the game, showing me how to do it.”

With three consecutive seasons of at least eight touchdown catches, Crabtree was Carr’s favorite red zone target. Perhaps no more than when he came up with the 2-yard TD in front of the left pylon with no time on the clock to help beat the Kansas City Chiefs on a Thursday night last season.

“That one right there, he hugged me, I hugged him,” Carr said. “All I remember him saying is, ‘I hope it counts,’ because we played about seven untimed downs that time.

“We had great chemistry. We had good moments together on those red zone plays. We had hand signals. Just me looking at him. We were on a good page. That’s something you try to do with all your guys. We played for years together, so it doesn’t just come overnight. I think that every quarterback that has played with him will definitely say he has some of the best hands and is one of the most competitive and reliable people. I have nothing but good things to say.”

AUBURN — Normally, Auburn players have a 24-hour rule. That’s 24 hours to celebrate a win or lament a loss, 24 hours to take note of what went right and correct what went wrong. Then, they’re supposed to move onto the next game.

Deshaun Davis didn’t break that rule this week; he just changed it. The dust had barely settled after Auburn’s blowout 53-0 victory on Saturday before the senior linebacker turned on the film of Alabama.

“It was like 24 minutes,” he said. “I kind of jumped into it, man, and I’m excited to play this game Saturday.”

There is a lot to prepare for when it comes to this particular Iron Bowl. The No. 1-ranked Crimson Tide play a brand of offense unlike any the Tigers have seen in recent meetings with their cross-state rival.

Nick Saban lifted Alabama to the top of college football’s hierarchy with a bruising run game and a consistently dominant defense. The Crimson Tide have both this season — it ranks 18th nationally averaging 5.4 yards per carry on offense and third surrendering just 13.1 points per game on defense.

What the Crimson Tide also has this season, though, is a ruthlessly efficient passing attack. Alabama ranked 62nd nationally in passing yards per game in 2015, 87th in 2016 and 91st in last season. This year, it ranks seventh averaging 328 yards per game despite averaging only 27.9 attempts per game, which ranks 95th.

“In the past, there were times where you knew if you stopped the run, you would be successful,” senior Auburn defensive tackle Dontavius Russell said. “But I think they’re a little more balanced, and it just presents that much more of a challenge.”

The difference, of course, is quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who has completed 69.2 percent of his passes for 2,865 yards and 31 touchdowns (to just two interceptions) despite spending most fourth quarters watching from the bench.

“He’s got a unique skill set and he’s very impressive to watch on film,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. “You can tell they feel like they can call anything and he’ll make it right, and most of the time he does it.”

That’s what Auburn will be up against Saturday at in Tuscaloosa.

“I think a lot of people fear the logo of Alabama,” Davis said. “They go out and they execute at an extremely high level. They dominate their opponent. But sometimes you can see from the first play of the game, some teams are defeated. That’s just something that we can’t afford to do going in Saturday. I can tell you right now, they don’t need any help.”

FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY

1. Tua: Not much else really needs to be said. “He needs no introduction,” as Davis put it earlier this week. Statistically, he’ll be the best quarterback Auburn has faced this season by a wide margin. Tagovailoa’s name isn’t at the top of the FBS leaderboards in terms of volume (his 2,865 yards rank 17th), but it is in pretty much everything else — he’s eighth in completion percentage (69.2), seventh in touchdowns (31), and first in both yards per attempt (12.1) and quarterback rating (212.2). Auburn’s pass defense has allowed the last four SEC quarterbacks it has faced (Tennessee’s Jarrett Guarantano, Ole Miss’ Jordan Ta’amu, Texas A&M’s Kellen Mond and Georgia’s Jake Fromm), throw for at least 210 yards and a touchdown while averaging at least 6.9 yards per completion, and Tagovailoa is averaging 277.4 yards and nearly three passing touchdowns per game against conference competition.

2. Committee approach: Like Auburn, Alabama goes into the final week of the regular season without a running back who has rushed for more than 700 yards. But that’s not because the Crimson Tide have struggled on the ground — its because it has so many different mouths it can feed. Damien Harris has rushed 108 times for 678 yards and seven scores, Najee Harris 91 times for 639 yards and four scores, and Josh Jacobs 81 times for 384 yards and nine scores. Both Harrises are averaging more than 6.2 yards per carry. Even Tagovailoa is averaging more than 4.5 yards on the ground, and he has four rushing touchdowns on 41 attempts. As a team, Alabama ranks 29th nationally and third in the SEC averaging 213.5 yards per game and has rushed for at least 200 yards seven times in 11 games. Auburn surrenders 142.3 yards per game on average but has given up more than 200 three times over its last five SEC games.

3. Bend but don’t break: Auburn’s defense has allowed a few of its opponents this season to have good statistical performances through the ground and on the air, as noted above. But despite surrendering a good bit of yards (350.6 per game compared to 319.4 last year), the Tigers have been very stingy when it comes to giving up points. They have a top-10 scoring defense after shutting out Liberty last week — the program’s first shutout of an FBS program since 2008 — and are allowing only 16.6 points per game. They’re especially stout in the red zone, where they have surrendered just nine touchdowns on 31 drives (that 29 percent touchdown rate ranks second nationally). Auburn has lost four games but has yet to allow any opponent score more than Georgia’s 27 points on offense (seven of Tennessee’s 30 scored on a defensive touchdown). Continuing that against Alabama would be quite the feat — the Crimson Tide rank third nationally averaging 48.7 points per game on offense and have scored fewer than 39 points just twice (a 29-0 win over LSU and 24-0 win over Mississippi State, two teams the Tigers lost to). Alabama’s average margin of victory this season has been 35.6 points.

4. Experience to draw on: Clearly, slowing that offense and competing with No. 1 Alabama will be a tall task for Auburn. No team has done it this year. But the Tigers do have experience they can lean on. The Crimson Tide entered last year’s Iron Bowl undefeated, ranked No. 1 in the College Football Playoff Rankings and favored to win the game, and Auburn pulled off a 26-14 upset to win the SEC West. A lot of the players that helped the Tigers win that game — Davis, Russell, quarterback Jarrett Stidham, wide receiver Ryan Davis — are still key cogs for this year’s Auburn team. That aftermath of that victory at Jordan-Hare will serve as motivation for Auburn, too — Alabama lost that game by double digits and did not play in the SEC Championship Game, but still earned a spot in the playoff and went on to win the national championship. The Tigers have not been as good overall this season and have no hope of achieving those heights this season, but they could put a dent in their rival’s hopes with another upset win.

KEY MATCHUP

Auburn’s defensive backs vs. Alabama’s wide receivers

Tagovailoa has been virtually unstoppable passing the ball this season, and a lot of the credit for his success needs to go to a wide receiving corps brimming with explosive playmakers. Each of Alabama’s top five receivers — Jerry Jeudy, Jaylen Waddle, Henry Ruggs III, Irv Smith Jr. and DeVonta Smith — are averaging at least 18 yards per catch and have scored at least four touchdowns. No team in the country has more passing plays of 50 or more yards than the Crimson Tide’s 14. That puts a lot of pressure on the Auburn secondary, which has been burned at times this season. The Tigers allow only 6.5 yards per attempt (34th nationally) and have 12 interceptions (22nd), but they have surrendered 19 passes of 30 or more yards this season and have let two quarterbacks (Guarantano and Ta’amu) top 300 yards passing. Auburn’s secondary will need to keep the top on the coverage to avoid having those receivers break open the game.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Nick Coe — BUCK, So., 6-5, 282

After missing last week’s win over Liberty with a right wrist injury suffered at Georgia, Auburn’s top pass-rusher has been cleared to play against Alabama (albeit with what Malzahn described as “some kind of apparatus” on his right arm). That’s big news for the Tigers, who will need all the help they can muster to get into the backfield at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama has allowed only 48 tackles for loss and 10 sacks this season, totals which rank as the 13th- and 10th-fewest in the country, respectively. Coe has been Auburn’s biggest threat from that Buck spot, as he leads the team with 13 1/2 tackles for loss and seven sacks despite playing in just 10 of the team’s 11 games.

PREDICTION

It is a rivalry game, so anything could happen Saturday. The history of the Iron Bowl has shown that. But this Alabama team has looked unbeatable all season. Its most competitive win was a 24-0 decision over Mississippi State two weeks ago, and that came against a team Auburn lost to 23-9. The Tigers have never quit through their struggles this season, and their defense is good enough that they shouldn’t get run off the field, but the offense simply hasn’t shown that it is good enough to keep pace with the Tagovailoa-led Crimson Tide attack. Auburn hasn’t won in Tuscaloosa since Cam Newton was quarterback in 2010, and that doesn’t change Saturday. Alabama 34, Auburn 10.

CORVALLIS – Outside of Friday pre-game walk-throughs, Oregon State has held all its practices outdoors this season. Given Friday’s Civil War weather forecast for steady rain, Wednesday’s wet weather was welcome.

The Beavers have had only a handful of days of practicing in the rain, and very little on game day. Wednesday’s weather was probably the wetness of the season, a nice soaking rainfall to give the Beavers a primer as to what they can expect Friday for Oregon in Reser Stadium.

“The weather has been so good around here all year, so to be able to get outside and have it come down a little bit … it’s perfect for us to prepare,” OSU coach Jonathan Smith said.

Linebacker Jonathan Willis, talking while rain drops fell from his headband, said “it was very smart … it won’t be a surprise Friday.”

Defensive coordinator Tim Tibesar is counting on rain Friday.

“Hopefully this is upset weather,” Tibesar said.

Prepping for Herbert: OSU linebackers coach Trent Bray says the Beavers haven’t faced someone this season comparable to Justin Herbert, Oregon’s 6-foot-6, 240-pound quarterback.

“He’s unique because he has size, athleticism and throws the ball well,” Bray said.

Smith says one thing that makes Herbert dangerous is his approach to running the ball.

“He’s a willing runner but he’s not always looking to run,” Smith said. “Some of those quarterbacks are the toughest when they’re truly looking to throw it, but until it’s not there, then they take off. There’s a ton of that on tape.”

Willis is taking the tough-minded linebacker approach to Herbert.

“He’s another back,” Willis said. “We’re going to come out and shut him down, come out physical.”

Injury update: Smith said cornerback Dwayne Williams has been upgraded to probable for Friday’s game. Williams sustained a knee injury against Stanford two weeks ago, and earlier in the week, Smith thought the senior was doubtful.

Outside linebackers Matthew Tago and Hamilcar Rashed Jr. So, are you frustrated with your sexual generic viagra prices lives? Are you feeling inferior on bed?

Safety David Morris, who made his 2018 debut last week on special teams against Washington, is unlikely to see the field on defense Friday. Smith thought Morris would play a prominent role on special teams, however.

Get ready for gadgets: Trick plays have been a part of Oregon State’s arsenal in several games this season, particularly on special teams. Don’t expect the Beavers to back off in that regard for the rivalry game.

“I would guess both sides have something,” Smith said. “I think they’re fun. I don’t think we just draw them up and wish that they’ll work. Pretty confident that we carry trick plays into each game.”

Senior sendoff: Oregon State’s 14 seniors plus a redshirt junior play their final college game Friday in the Civil War. As part of their last week in the program, the Beavers ended Wednesday’s practice by carrying each one of them off to the locker room.

Andrew Iademarco, a redshirt junior offensive lineman, is electing to go through Friday’s Senior Day ceremonies.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Few events in KELOLAND seem to officially ring in the holiday season like the Parade of Lights, now only four days away.

Raven hasn’t had a float in the Sioux Falls Parade of Lights for a few years, but in 2018, that changes.

“We really had some team members step up this year that said we want to be in the parade, and we have this balloon left over, and we have a vision for it, and so they were really instrumental in making that vision come to life,” said Lisa McElrath, corporate communications and marketing manager with Raven.

For the parade’s purposes, this is an ornament. 

“A ten-foot sphere, we actually made it to test some primer for some of our paints,” said Joy Hyronemus, supervisor with Aerostar, which is part of Raven.

“It’s basically just a sphere that we had one of our in-house team members design, he’s an artist for us full-time, and so he put his spin on it, and turned it into kind of a traditional ornament,” McElrath said.

“My involvement is helping decorate the float, make sure it looks all pretty for Friday night,” Hyronemus said.

The 2018 Parade of Lights is Friday at 7:30 p.m. along Phillips Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls. 

“It’s a fun event that families can be involved in, and all that good stuff,” said Jessica Quinlivan, business analyst at Raven.

“We’re really excited to have a spot in the Parade of Lights,” McElrath said. “Raven has strong roots in our community, we’ve been here since 1956, and we want to keep that involvement going and keep it strong.”

If you can’t make it downtown for the parade, you can watch it from your computer or tablet at keloland.com, where you can also find our Home for the Holidays page.

Coach Dillon Bobbitt will hold the reigns of the Lady Cats for a second year with the help of Justin Hollman, along with Megan Russell and Kandi Ledford, both first year assistants and graduates of West Stokes.

West returns all-conference and all-district runner up Hannah Spainhour to the lineup and honorable mention all-conference and fellow sophomore Emma Santoro. Spainhour averaged 10.2 points a game and four rebounds. Santoro shot 45 percent from the floor and tallied seven points and six rebounds. Also, returning to the team with valuable minutes last season is sophomore Sydney Cockerham and juniors Sydney Cromer and Shaylee Montgomery.

“We want to pride ourselves on putting multiple good days together, and then multiple weeks, and then collectively putting good months together,” Bobbitt said. “We have had good energy and are buying into the things we are doing defensively. The girls are jumping to the ball, crashing the boards and offensive guards are getting rebounds. We need to be a team and stay true to the system.”

The Wildcats played in their first scrimmage since the summer and fared well against good competition last week at Mount Airy. West defeated Starmount 59-27 and East Wilkes 44-38, but then lost to Mount Airy 53-42.

“We played well for the most part, but our main focus was to see how we have come from the fall until now and can that energy and momentum carry into the season,” Bobbitt said. “What we want to do is be resilient when bad things happen and not have the deer in the headlights look. I believe this is a strength of this team to be able to roll with it and push through.”

Members of the team are: Hannah Spainhour, Emma Santoro, Sydney Cockerham, Sydney Cromer, Emily Boles, Shaylee Montgomery, Caiya Huling, Sheridan Kraft, Haley Brewster, Bree Spainhour, Hannah Davis and Allie Slate.

South Stokes

Rodney Matthews is entering his seventh year on staff at South Stokes and his second as head coach. Scott Joyce will be back assisting Matthews and overseeing the JV program.

The Sauras will return Northwest 1A honorable mention athletes Tatyana Childress and Maddie Shore. They finished 7-18 overall last season and 3-7 in conference play. Childress averaged 7.8 points a game and three assists and Shore added 6.3 points and two rebounds. Ashley Brown returns to the lineup after recovering from multiple injuries.

“We are younger than last year, but we have good speed, lots of energy and play really aggressive,” Matthews said. “We need development in multiple areas, but we want to be conditioned and play some full court man and be able to run the floor. The girls must compete with effort.”

South hosted scrimmages with North Forsyth and Walkertown last week and finished 1-1.

“We mixed and matched and were looking to find what our strengths are. We missed some layups, but I liked our aggression.”

Members of the team are: McKinley Barczy, Kalaysia Fulp, Kaelyn Lash, Serenity Hughes, Taylor Landereth, Ryley Lawson, Tatyana Childress, Maddie Shore, Cassie Helmandollar, Ashley Cleghorn and Ashley Brown.

The Vikings are coming off a 9-16 season and 3-7 in the Northwest 1A. Scott Smith is leading North Stokes for a second year and Barry West will be assisting for the first time this season.

North has two players coming back from last year’s 10 man roster that graduated eight seniors. Leann Sessoms will return as a Northwest honorable mention player and Addie Bryant was considered the best defender on the team by Smith. They add fellow seniors Meredith Rasey and Lauren Collins to help with leadership on the floor and bench. The Vikings will be missing 91 percent of their scoring and 70 percent of rebounding from last year’s graduating class.

“The girls have great work ethic and are very coachable young ladies,” Smith said. “We want to be competitive and try and build from last year. We need to have some stability in the program with coaches and players. We want to help them understand their roles on the team and that will translate into college or work.”

Members of the team are: Addie Bryant, Hannah Hicks, Lauren Collins, Morgan Hairston, Elizabeth McBride, Madey Briggs, Morgan Mabe, Leann Sessoms, Cynthia Collins and Meredith Rasey.

Both the Sauras and Vikings play in arguably one of the toughest conferences in the state, which include Mount Airy, back-to-back state champions, Bishop McGuinness and East Surry.

Steve Cona III has officially resigned from the Board of Trustees for Hillsborough Community College, submitting a letter of resignation to Gov. Rick Scott on Friday.

“It has been a pleasure and a great honor being a part of Hillsborough Community College. I am so proud of all we have accomplished in the past five years, and I have no doubt the college will continue these successes in the future,” Cona wrote.  

Scott appointed Cona to the HCC Board of Trustees in 2015.  His position will remain vacant until a gubernatorial appointment is made. That’s not likely to happen until after January when Gov.-elect Ron DeSantis assumes office.

Cona resigned to serve on the Hillsborough County School Board. He ran against retired Hillsborough County Schools administrator Bill Person and won with 54 percent of the vote.

Cona is President of the Associated Builders and Contractors Florida Gulf Coast Chapter. The first-term candidate raised more money than his challenger, mostly from conservative political action committees.

Cona wants to work to create more sustainable and fiscally responsible business decisions on the school board, a skill that will be put to use as the district begins allocating funds raised by the one half percent sales tax increase voters approved to fund school district infrastructure and education programs.

The majority of that revenue will go toward repairing and replacing air conditioning systems at Hillsborough District schools and properties.

Cona also supports working with private industries to create skills-based learning programs for high school students so they can graduate career ready.

Person was a second time candidate, narrowly losing another race for school board in 2016. He’s a retired school teacher, principal and school administrator.

Cona will replace outgoing Hillsborough County School Board member Susan Valdes who did not seek re-election in order to run for a seat in the House of Representatives, which she won.
