By Beth HulmThe County Commission met

last Wednesday in their court-house board room in Bison, a daylate due to the Primary Electionthe day before. Before that regu-lar monthly meeting ended, theycanvassed the results of the elec-tion.

Precinct 12 had the only localcontest. A mere 12 votes separatedthe challengers. Brad Besler, ruralBison, defeated incumbent JimGochenour in the Republican Pri-mary for a four-year term on theCounty Commission and the rightto represent District #4. Besler re-ceived 66 votes (55%) toGochenour’s 54 (45%). The newterm begins on January 1, 2013.Gochenour, Prairie City, will havecompleted one term.

Also in the Republican primary,Perkins County voters favoredpresidential candidate Mitt Rom-ney, 133-87, over Ron Paul. RickSantorum and Newt Gingrichcame in with 31 and 10 votes, re-spectively. Ten other voters were“uncommitted.” In the only Demo-crat Primary, Matt Varilek re-ceived 61 votes to Jeff Barth’s 23.They are vying for the seat in theUS House, currently held by KristiNoem.

County Commissioners recentlyadvertised bids for a semi truck toreplace one that burned up in theirlot this spring. They even sentHighway Superintendent TracyBuer to Sioux Falls to look at atruck that met his bid specs. Thatone would cost Perkins Countytaxpayers $80,000. Board chair-man Mike Schweitzer said at last

week’s regular meeting that thatis “way too much for that truck.”

Gochenour had been studyingonline truck auctions and sug-gested that the county could savemoney – as much as $40,000 - byshopping at an Internet auction.Schwietzer was a bit skittishabout the idea at first. “It’s likebuying sight unseen,” he said.”

“This is appealing to me,” Buersaid.

Commissioner Wayne Hender-son, Lodgepole, thinks that the“North Dakota oil thing” is affect-ing truck prices in this area.

Following a long discussion, offi-cial action was taken to reject allof the earlier bids and to start overin the quest for a suitable truck.Buer was authorized to spend upto $50,000 at an on-line auction.While Buer was in the room, he

presented his budget requests for2013, which includes severalpieces of new equipment. Hewants a new dump truck, outfittedwith snow removal equipment anda new pick-up. He also said thatthe grader replacement programgot “messed up during the badyears” and needs to get back onschedule.

He’d also like to increase theamount set aside for capital im-provements by $25,000 so that theBixby Road could be repaired. Hewould combine the budgetedamount with State TransportationImprovement Program (STIP) dol-lars, which is generally around$230,000 per year to get that proj-ect accomplished. His crew re-cently completed patching, bladingand mulching on that road.

When he left the board room,Buer was on his way to a pre-con-struction meeting for the WhiteButte overlay project, which willbegin by mid-June, weather-per-mitting. He encouraged travelersto seek alternate routes duringconstruction. Work begins nearTodd Buer’s and extends north toHighway 12. State Highways 73and 75 are also undergoing con-struction this summer.

Commissioners opened bids lastWednesday for a retired law en-forcement vehicle. There were fourinterested bidders for the 2001Ford Crown Victoria that has ap-proximately 129,000 miles on it.Like the semi truck, all of thesebids were rejected.

The bids ranged from $459.62 to$777.77. The appraisal value wasmore than $2,000. “For $777,”Gochenour said, “you might aswell keep it.” Because the countyhas no use for the car, it will be re-advertised, specifying a bid mini-mum of $2,000.

Bison Town Board ChairmanJuell Chapman and Trustee LukeClements, along with five PerkinsCounty Fair board members, wereboardroom guests to discuss alease for renting the BentleyBuilding. Those two boards hadmet earlier to talk about movingBison Town Hall from downtownto the fairgrounds. Bison’s repre-sentatives felt that the one-yearlease, which the Fair board of-fered, was too short and that $425monthly rent was too high. In ad-dition, the town would be responsi-ble for snow removal, mowing and

some janitorial services. The Fairboard would continue to pay utili-ties.

The length of a lease may havebeen negotiable but the costs werenot. The Fair board said thatthey’d barely be covering ex-penses. Chapman said, “The city isjust not interested.”

Commissioners have turned thefate of those offices (recentlystaffed by the Extension service)over to the Fair board's discretionand they encouraged that board toadvertise it for rent.

Gary Larson, speaking as a Fairboard member, said that he thinksthat the 4-H/Youth advisor shouldmove back out there and Jens

Hanson, another Fair board mem-ber, said, “It sure worked goodwhen they were out there.”

Gochenour said that there is“considerable expense” involved inhaving the 4-H/Youth office at theBentley Building. He said that ap-proximately $60,000 of countymoney is now being saved becausethere is no longer a secretaryneeded (an existing courthousesecretary has taken on those re-sponsibilities) or utilities to pay.Schweitzer agreed that it has“saved a lot of money” having theoffice back in the courthouse.

Ida Schmidt, the new 4H/Youthadvisor said that it would be muchmore convenient for her to be atthe fair building instead of in thecourthouse because she has stor-age out there and is continuallyhauling things between the two lo-cations.

Sheriff Kelly Serr was in theboardroom twice during the day.During his first visit, he explainedthe re-organization taking placefor Homeland Security grants.For starters, new regional bound-aries have been drawn and, sec-ondly, federal appropriations aredown. The new set-up will havetwo representatives from each ofthe nine counties in the region andfrom tribal jurisdictions (one eachfrom law enforcement). That givesPerkins County “as much clout atthe table as Pennington,” he said.Perkins County has been adminis-tering all grant money but, that,too, will change.

During his second visit of theday, Serr discussed 2013 budget-ing for Emergency Management,the jail fund and the sheriff ’s de-partment. The first will notchange, he said, but he would liketo add $6,000 to the jail fund,which is really only a move fromthe indigent fund where the sameamount has been budgeted in thepast. He warned commissioners tobe prepared, however. He said thatthere was sure to be “residual” ef-

same amount as last year.Bernice Kari, Bison, spoke on be-

half of the Senior Citizens. Sheasked for the same $1,250, previ-ously received, “or what you cangive them.” Bison seniors pay$1,560 per year in rent and havefew dues-paying members.. Karisaid that when there is no longerenough to pay the rent, “we’ll lockthe doors.”

Bison Economic Development,represented by Rachel Eggebo,Dan Kvale and Luke Clements,would like to be considered for$20,000. They received $8,000 forthe current year but have recentlyhired a part-time director, BrandiSteichen, who will share officespace with the Town of Bison orthe Public Library. They’ll needmoney to support her salary andfor project costs.

Perkins County Fair boardwould like an additional $500 (upfrom $12,500) for increasing util-ity costs.

Loyson Carda, representing theweed board and the Veteran’s serv-ice office and Ida Schmidt,4H/Youth, had minimal additionalrequests – mostly for office costs,such as repairs, maintenance andpostage.

Likewise, Register of Deeds Dar-lene Lockert and the Director ofEqualization both asked for in-creases in their repairs and main-tenance line items and for postage.Rownea Gerbracht, DOE, alsowishes to increase the salary ofher second office personnel, JennyGlover, by 10%.Currently, Gloveris paid the same as the county’ssecretaries but Gerbracht wouldlike to term her a Deputy II. “Shedoes a good job, she’s worth everypenny and I don’t want to loseher,” Gerbracht said.

At this point in the budget-plan-ning process, requests are merelybeing noted. As the process contin-ues into the early fall, revenueswill be considered and an afford-able budget approved.

fects with the possibility of oil fieldworkers moving into PerkinsCounty. Commissioner Rusty Fos-ter commented, “We are not readyfor that.”

Serr asked for increased fundingin his Sheriff department forwages, utilities and repair andmaintenance of office equipment.He’s also plugged in a new sheriff ’scar, which he does every off-elec-tion year.

After the lunch break during lastWednesday’s meeting, the boardheard other budget requests fromvarious county departments andentities, as follows:

The Perkins County Conserva-tion District is happy to get thesame subsidy as previously. “Weappreciate you guys giving us anallocation,” said Susan Anderson,office secretary. Tri County Con-servation District sent a letter re-questing $10,000. Last year, theyreceived $2,850, which was downfrom $16,000 in previous yearsafter commissioners studied thenumber of Perkins County acresserved by that entity.

Charlie Verhulst represented theSorum/Reva fire department; BobParker, Lodgepole firefighters; andDavid Kopren, Luke Clements andAllen Palmer, Bison’s.

Verhulst said that they lost twopumpers this year and that thecounty’s money was spent in re-placing them; he asked for thesame consideration next year.Lodgepole used the $4,000 thatthey received to buy a used tendertruck and for CPR training. Theyalso did not change their request($4,000 plus insurance). However,Parker said, “We aren’t going to bevery long on money.”

The Bison guys asked for an ad-ditional $5,000 over the $20,000received last year to be used to-wards their own training but,“We’ll be happy with what we get,”Kopren said.

GGaarrddeenn GGaatteeMicroclimates

Just what does microclimatemean? A microclimate is a smallbut distinctly different climatewithin a larger area. In a garden,a spot which is sunny and pro-tected from the wind could be con-sidered a microclimate, as it willbe significantly warmer than therest of the garden for most of theyear. A microclimate could be ex-tremely small, but can be muchlarger; valleys and hills are classi-cally microclimates, due to a vari-ety of factors which cause theirweather to be different from themore general weather in the re-gion.

Microclimates are often a topicof interest for gardeners, becauselearning to work with this type ofarea can be very important. Gar-deners can use such areas to growplants which are not supposed togrow in the regions they live, andto landscape in a way which willmake an efficient use of water.When thinking about microcli-mates, do not think only of zonehardiness. Your house will castdeep shade on the north side, es-pecially close to the house, thinkshade plants. Walls and fences onthe north side of your garden oryard will capture and reflect sunand warmth, think sun lovingmarginally hardy plants for thiszone and plants these in thosesheltered spots.

The eves of your house preventrain from falling directly on beds

under those eves so think aboutplants that like drier soil and per-haps warmer soil. This is a goodplace to plant that cactus youbrought back from Arizona. Typi-cally in this area, one side of thehouse will be shady and the otherwill be baking in the hot sun, plantaccordingly, hot drought lovers onthe sunny baking side and shadelovers on the other side.

Root systems of large trees robthe soil of moisture causing harddry soil, possibly root filled; choosea tough hardy ground cover forthose areas. Areas close to yourdown spouts create a moist or wetenvironment so you need to chooseplants that thrive in moist condi-

tions. Read plant labels beforepurchasing!

You probably have some micro-climates in your yard or gardenwhere you can grow somethingthat is rated for Zone 5 or even 6 ifyou take proper precautions forwinter protection. Check it out anddo some experimenting!

Lines from the bookshelf

By Vi LeonardMy Sunday afternoon nap is over

and it is time to share with yousome books about Dad and somethat he might be interested in. MyDad took naps, not only on Sundaybut nearly every day. On Sundaythey were longer, but he realizedthe value of a short nap in refresh-ing him for the rest of the day’swork. He very seldom worked onSunday except for puttering aroundthe farmstead, checking pasturesetc. He claimed that when heworked on Sunday, he would haveto redo it during the week.I found a couple of kid’s books aboutDads. I am sure there are more butI found these while looking forsomething else. “Just like Daddy”by Frank Asch is a warm friendlystory for the very young. LittleBear does everything just likeDaddy. The story is very pre-dictable, that is until the very end.A cute book. Another is a level 1 easy fictionreader about The Rugrats. “MajorLeague Dads”, by Molly Wigand isabout a group of dads who taketheir kids to the ballgame on Fa-ther’s Day. The kids are confusedby the baseball lingo that theirdads are using. They expect“swings” to play on and theyoungest is very concerned aboutsomebody “stealing home”. Thedads are so involved in the gamethat they don’t realize that the kidsare gone, looking for the swings and

cotton Candy. It just goes to showthat not everyone looks at thingsthe same way. All ends well witheveryone agreeing on cotton candy.I realize that there probably aren’ta lot of fathers reading my column,so once again I am appealing to youto make dad aware of any of thesebooks that you think he might beinterested in.“Fatherhood” by Bill Cosby com-bines a good laugh along with hisunique form of wisdom. His justplain wonderful humanity createsa joyous celebration of being a fa-ther. It is a series of vignettesbased on his own experience as ason and father.James Herriot was a born storyteller and a veterinarian who wasprobably as much psychologist asveterinarian. While being a vet inEngland is a bit different than vetswe encounter out here in the west,his stories make for great reading.Many situations that he encoun-tered required all the bedside man-ner, stamina, skill and gift of hu-manity of the best of family doctors.How many of you remember the TVseries on Public TV about Doc Her-riot? I would enjoy a rerun of thatseries. The Library has “All ThingsBright and Beautiful” “All thingsWise and Wonderful” “All Crea-tures Great and Small”, “Dog Sto-ries” and “Cat Stories. A quite different book for the “bikerdad” is “The Complete Catalog ofHarley Davidson” This is a largebook with a model by model historyof the American motorcycles theyhave built since 1903. Each modelis shown in a full page colored pic-ture with specifications of all 140models that had been built to thetime of publication.I haven’t mentioned magazines fora while, but I would like to remindyou of some that might be of specialinterest to Dad. There are “Fieldand Stream”, “This old House” anda new one to me “Holmes – FromHGTV” This is the magazine tolearn how to make it right.Happy Father’s Day!

The Legislature’s ExecutiveBoard on Monday chose eight sen-ators and representatives from apool of 45 who applied. Whetherthere even is such a committee re-mains unclear until June 18. Thecommittee was created in the 2012session. June 18 is the last day forpetitions to be filed for a possiblestatewide vote on the committee.If the petition drive succeeds, thereferendum would be held as partof the November general election.

The convoluted process of pick-ing the committee members Mon-day involved a lengthy debateabout whether the board had theauthority to appoint the commit-tee members yet, followed by mul-tiple rounds of secret balloting.“This process has become moreand more federal-like,” Rep.Chuck Turbiville, R-Deadwood,said. He is the Executive Board’schairman.

Besides Maher, the others se-lected by the board are Rep.Jacqueline Sly, R-Rapid City; Rep.Scott Munsterman, R-Brookings;Rep. Kristin Conzet, R-Rapid City;Sen. Mike Vehle, R-Mitchell; RepSusan Wismer, D-Britton; Rep.Steve Street, D-Milbank; and Sen.Billie Sutton, D-Burke.

The House speaker, the Senatepresident pro tem and the chair-man of the Executive Board alsowill automatically be members.Those currently are Rep. ValRausch, R-Big Stone City; Sen.Bob Gray, R-Pierre; and Rep.Chuck Turbiville, R-Deadwood.None are returning for the 2013session. They will, however, serveon the planning committee untiltheir successors are selected nextyear.

The speaker and the Senatepresident pro tem who will holdthose posts for the 2013 sessionwill be selected in caucus decisionsafter the November general elec-tion. They will take office in Janu-ary.

The Executive Board’s newchairman won’t be chosen, in alllikelihood, until after the 2013 leg-islative session ends. That wouldmean Turbiville possibly couldcontinue to serve on the planningcommittee until late March orApril, even though he wouldn’t bea member of the Legislature anylonger.

The legislation currently is sub-ject to a petition drive that, if suc-cessful, would refer it to astatewide vote in the Novembergeneral election. If there aren’tsufficient valid signatures submit-ted by the filing deadline at 5 p.m.Monday, the legislation becomeslaw July 1. When the board finallyvoted to move forward with the ap-pointments Monday, the boardthen needed three rounds of secretballots to come up with five Re-publicans.

The three Democrats mean-while were chosen first with littledebate. Turbiville said he doesn’twant it to be another leadershipcommittee. He concluded after lis-tening to testimony and debatefrom the legislative session thatthere should be 11 members, ofwhich three will be Democrats.

Wismer and Sutton are mem-bers of the Joint Committee on Ap-propriations. Turbiville said theywould meet the requirement thatcommittee have at least one appro-priations member. He said morethan a dozen members of the ap-propriations panel submitted ap-plications to be on the planningcommittee.

The Democrats were approvedon a 8-3 vote.

Sen. Joni Cutler, R-Sioux Falls,wondered whether there’s anylegal authority to make the ap-pointments prior to the law takingeffect July 1. Cutler is the board’svice chairman. “Nothing’s going tochange between now and July 1.Obviously the election isn’t untilNovember,” Turbiville responded.

Cutler said she was uncomfort-able voting yet. “It doesn’t as a pol-icy take effect until July 1,” shesaid. She noted that 45 people sub-mitted their names in hope ofbeing selected. She suggested thata sub-panel of Executive Boardmembers develop a selectionprocess and narrow the recom-mendations.

Turbiville opposed further delay.“If the committee wants to do any-thing this calendar year we needto get started on it,” he said.

Rep. Larry Lucas, D-Mission,said he’s been named to an Educa-tion Department committee that ispart of the processes established inanother piece of legislation, HouseBill 1234, that will be referred toa statewide vote this fall.

Lucas said it’s time to move for-ward with the planning commit-tee.

Sen. Jim Hundstad, D-Bath,said planning time is necessary.“This law will become effective inJuly. It won’t be any surprise toanybody,” he predicted. The com-mittee voted to proceed Mondaywith the selection of the members.The roll call vote was 7-4. Cutlerthen declared she wouldn’t vote onany nominees.

Sen. Larry Tidemann, R-Brook-ings, nominated Senate Republi-can leader Russ Olson of Went-worth and Sen. Ryan Maher, R-Is-abel. The motion failed for lack ofa second.

A group of a very few peopledoes the lion’s share of additionalwork, said Rep. Kristin Conzet, R-Rapid City. “We spread some of ourbest people very, very thin.”

Lucas said lawsuits that resultfrom legislation, road needs andpublic pensions are areas thatshould be considered by the newcommittee. “We are constantly re-acting to problems, rather thanbeing in front of them,” he said.

A secret ballot resulted in 12 Re-publican legislators who receivedat least two votes from the Execu-tive Board members who partici-pated. Six of those 12 receivedmore than two votes. Six receivedtwo votes.

The 12 were senators CoreyBrown, Phyllis Heineman, RyanMaher, Russ Olson, Deb Peters,Craig Tieszen and Mike Vehle; andrepresentatives Conzet, CharlieHoffman, David Lust, Scott Mun-sterman and Jacqueline Sly.Tieszen withdrew.

A second round narrowed the12. Sly received seven votes andwas selected. Maher, Vehle,Conzet, Lust and Munstermanthen were put in a third round ofvoting to select four.

Lust, the House Republicanleader, didn’t make the final cut.He was prime sponsor of the legis-lation, HB 1133, creating the com-mittee.

The referendum drive is led byRep. Brian Liss, R-Sioux Falls,who isn’t seeking re-election.

Liss has one week remaining tosubmit valid signatures of 15,855registered South Dakota voters.

Florence Hoff, pastor““TThhee BBeesstt AAtt TThhee LLaasstt””

(John 6:54) “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and Iwill raise him up at the last day.”

To live anticipation of something in the future often helps us to deal with thepresent. For us who trust in the body and blood of Jesus, given and pouredout for the forgiveness of our sins, there is every reason to look ahead. Ourchristian hope tells us to await the future expectantly. After the troubles of

this life are history, there will be pleasures forever in heaven.This is certain and guaranteed by Jesus’ resurrection. For the soul, it promises

blessedness with God from the moment of death. The body, death and thegrave will be defied on the last day, opening the door to eternal life, because

Jesus said, “Because I live, you also will live.” (John 14:19)All the dead will live again on the last day. Every grave in the world will give up

the dead, both believers and unbelievers. Those without faith during theirearthly lives will face their judge and be assigned

to damnation in hell. They did not “eat the flesh or drink the blood” of Jesus.That is, they did not believe in Christ.

For believers, the last day will be the”day of days.” At the sound of the trumpets, our bodies will become new. The full details are not known to us.

“But we know that when Jesus appears, we will be like him, for we shall see himas he is.” (1 John 3:2)

What an exhilarating prospect that is! In heaven we’ll have the same bodies wehave now,but in perfection. We’ll not be subject to any

discomforts. Death will never occur again because we’ll be immortal like Jesus.

Our Lord will be the central focus of heaven. Around his throne we Christianswill join the choir of saints. We’ll praise Jesus and listen to the perfect harmony

of the angelic choir singing thanks to God for his wisdom, power, and strength. Best of all, we’ll see Jesus! We’ll

see him face to face as our gracious Lord!Keep looking ahead to this glory in heaven, for the end of this life is the

beginning of that glory in heaven

Prayer: Lord Jesus, keep our eyes focused on you. You give us the best at the last day. Amen

By Teddi CarlsonThere will be two new faces seen

in the halls when the Bison PublicSchool term begins in August.They are Elizabeth Bonacci, shehas been hired to teach HighSchool English and Ruth Hobbshas been hired to teach HighSchool Math. All the teachers forthe coming school term have nowbeen hired. All other teacher con-tracts were also approved. Thecoaches needed for the comingterm are Head Boys Basketball,Assistant Boys Basketball, Assis-tant Girls Basketball and gradeboys and girls Basketball.

On Monday night four BisonSchool Board members convenedto conduct their monthly sessionwith Eric Arneson as the only oneabsent.

Roxie Seaman, Title I teacher,was present to explain the ParentInvolvement Policy recently writ-ten. Superintendent Kraemer,Seaman and Michelle Stockert,Sixth Grade teacher, attended ameeting in Pierre to receive in-struction on how to do this. Boardmembers heard the First readingof this policy read by Kraemer. TheSecond reading will be heard atthe July meeting when the boardmembers will vote on it. Already it

has been approved by the Associ-ated School Boards.

The bus contract with GeneSmith was another item on theagenda. As Smith sat at the boardtable he requested a 12¢ per mileincrease from last year’s pay dueto inflation, cost of gas, mechanicfees, driver wages and insurancecosts. As discussion developedBoard member Brad Besler re-marked that students are “valu-able cargo”. Included in Smith’scontract is an escalator clausewhich means that Smith is paid 2¢more per mile when gas goes up10¢. Because of that clause Chair-man Dan Kvale suggested his paybe raised to 8¢ per mile. After pon-dering this issue for a time theboard agreed to raise his pay to 8¢per mile which gives Smith a$4,000. raise for the coming schoolterm. Smith remarked that hewould compromise with 9¢ permile but had to accept the 8¢ permile offered by the board.

Redoing of classroom floorsfrom carpet to wood finishing willbe done soon, starting July 9.Rooms to be done are the math,history and DDN rooms. Theschool has hired a contractor to dothis at a cost of $6,720.

Much time was spent discussing

the budget for 2012 - 2013. As itlooks now Business Manager Crowexpects that $88,000. of surplusfunds will be needed. The biggestproject for the coming term is theconstruction of a new shop build-ing with classrooms to cost about$200,000. Other capital outlay ex-penses will include ag equipment,windows on the south side of theschool, a new riding lawn mower,a new series of books for elemen-tary students and bell repair work.

At the last board meeting themusic instructor Darren Jacksontalked about starting a jazz-rockband of twelve students whowould have to audition for theirplaces in the band. He would meetwith them for one hour prior to thestart of the school day for two daysper week. Board member BrookeHershey agreed that this bandwould be a good thing for theschool. Kvale remarked that stu-dents should be challenged intel-lectually after school hours andnot just physically with sportingactivities. After a roll call voteJackson’s proposal passed by athree to one vote with Dan Beck-man making the only “no” vote.

Jackson will be paid $1680. for theyear for this extra work on hisschedule.

In other action: •The schoolsmedical insurance of a 2% increasewas approved. •SuperintendentKraemer was approved to be theTitle Authorized Representative.•Business Manager Crow wasgiven authority to make contin-gency fund transfers if necessary.•Approval was given to Crow toplace $35,000. in the pension fund.• A firm has been hired to auditthe school books at a cost of$9,975. •County health nurseservices were approved to checkthe hearing, vision and possibilityof scoliosis of the students •Ap-proval was given to hire Tom Har-mon of Pierre as the School’slawyer at a cost of $120. per hour.

A public budget hearing hasbeen set for July 9 at 8 p.m. whichis also the date of their regularmonthly meeting. Angie Thomp-son and Marcie Brownlee-Kariwill begin their terms on the boardon that date. The terms of BrookeHershey and Brad Besler will endat that time.

By Richard P. Holm MDHalitosis is a fishy and fancy

medical word that stands for badbreath. Years ago I heard it put thisway: “The Polish Army must havemarched through my mouth lastnight.” Not only is it socially offen-sive, a foul odor coming from be-tween the lips can also reflect a se-rious underlying dental or medicalproblem.

Probably the most significantcause for bad breath is dry mouthand coated tongue, often resultingfrom medicines like decongestantsfor stuffy nose or pills for urinaryincontinence. Dry mouth can alsobe due to mouth breathing, aging,or to an immune disease, which af-fects the salivary glands. No mat-ter the cause, without saliva notonly will the breath turn foul, butteeth fall out. Treat this by avoid-ing mouth-drying medicines whenpossible, sucking on sugar-freelemon drops or gum, and consult-ing a physician or dentist. Alsobrushing the tongue to remove the“coat” will go a long way to improveone’s breath.

Periodontal disease with plaque,gingivitis, or bacterial infection insinuses or the lung can certainlycause the odor of rotting. Regulardental and medical health care canhelp avoid or treat these condi-tions.

It almost goes without sayingthat smoking or smokeless tobaccocauses doggy breath. Avoid thesebad habits.

Of course garlic and onion givetheir odor after absorption intoyour bloodstream, which is carriedto the lungs, and then transferredto the breath. Mouthwash or mintswill only cover-up until time re-solves the odor by breaking thechemical down that is being carriedin the blood stream.

You can escape the plodding Pol-ish Army… Remember that badbreath makes a compelling case forgood brushing and flossing habitsand for regular dental and medicalcare.

TREE FACTS – Zimmerman Pine Moths and their Control

By Robert W. Drown, Natural Resource Specialist

The Zimmerman Pine Moth isnative to North America and hasbeen a problem for years mostly inthe northeastern part of the UnitedStates. In recent years, the Zim-merman pine moth has become es-tablished throughout northwesternSouth Dakota. Ponderosa Pines inshelterbelts have been most com-monly infested, but Austrian,Mugo, Jack and Scotch Pines arealso reported as hosts.

This insect infests the tips ofbranches and the main trunk feed-ing on the inner bark. Branchestypically break at the crotch areawhere they join the trunk. Deadand dying branches, most often inthe upper half of the tree, com-monly indicate infestations. The

first external symptoms of injuryare popcorn-like pitch masses atwound sites. The pitch masses mayreach golf-ball size and ultimatelyresemble clusters of small, palegrapes.

The injury not only retardsgrowth but also deforms the tree.Partially girdled whorls become soweakened that the tree breaks off.The trunk of the surviving tree maybe constricted, crooked or forked atthe point of injury. Heavily injuredtrees may develop a burl likegrowth on the trunk above thewhorl and the wood of the injuredtrees becomes dense with resin.

Description - The egg of theZimmerman Pine Moth is creamywhite, one thirty –second of an inchlong, ovoid, slightly flattened un-derneath and lightly patternedabove. The egg turns red then red-dish brown before hatching. Thenewly hatched larva is light reddishbrown at first but turns darkerwith age. The full grown larva isabout three fourths of an inch longwith a brown head. Body color canvary from light grey to pink togreenish yellow. Rows of darkspots, each with a single bristleadorn the sides and top of the body.They are found within the charac-teristic popcorn-like masses of sapon the trunks and branches. Theadults are midsized moths, withgray wings blended with red-brownand marked with zigzag lines.Adults are difficult to distinguishfrom other moths.

Life History and Habits - TheZimmerman Pine Moth has a one-year life cycle. It overwinters as ayoung caterpillar inside a small co-coon underneath bark scales. Inmid- to late April and May, theyagain become active and tunnelinto the tree. Tunneling may firstoccur around the branch tips, some-times causing tip dieback. In latespring, they migrate to the base of

branches, tunneling into the whorlarea. There, masses of pitch format the wound site. The larvae con-tinue to feed into July. Once full-grown, they pupate within a cham-ber in the pitch mass.

Adult moths are active primarilyin late July and August. They arenot observed very often as they usu-ally remain concealed in the foliageof the tree during the day and areactive only at night. After mating,female moths lay eggs, often nearwounds or previous masses of pitch.Eggs hatch in about a week and thelarvae feed for only a brief time be-fore preparing to overwinter.

Control - Permethrin can beused by the farmer, rancher andhome owner to control this pest.Examples of Permethrin insecti-cides are Bonide Borer-Mine Killerand Gordon’s Bug-No-More. EarlyApril is a great time for chemicalcontrol of Zimmerman pine mothbecause all the caterpillars becomeactive and crawl out on the trunksurface when the weather warms.Caterpillars can be killed by soak-ing the tree and especially thetrunk with a long lasting insecti-cide before the temperature warms.When they start crawling aboutand begin to dig deep into the treetrunk they will be killed by the poi-son residue on the bark. Be sure tosoak the trunk with insecticide foreffective control. This means usingat least 100 gallons of total sprayvolume per acre. Repeat the sprayapplication in August to kill youngcaterpillars that hatch from theeggs.My sources for this news releasewere the Colorado State UniversityExtension and US Forest Service.If you would like more informationabout “Zimmerman Pine Moths andtheir Control” call Bob Drown atthe Conservation Office at 605-244-5222, Extension 4.

Sometimes it seems like that windwill never quit blowing. We got justover a half inch of rain this week,but that ten feet of wind blew mostof the moisture away. There isn’tgoing to be a lot of hay this year, butReub did find a patch of alfalfa hethinks he’ll at least be able to put up15 or 20 big bales. It took me twodays, but I got all the weeds pulledout of the big garden and, if the windever goes down long enough to getsome water on it, I should get a fairharvest. Thousands of tinygrasshoppers have invaded the gar-den though, so I’m going to have tofind some way to get rid of them, andsoon!

There is a neighborhood brandingalmost every day and we celebratedthe beginning of the summer fashionscene when the Hackamore brandedTuesday. The Big Boss Man, DougDoll, was nattily attired in his blacktuxedo and this year he got a jumpon the calendar with the addition ofa brand-new Christmas tie! Therewas a notable absence of polyesteragain this year, but there was aplethora of fancy ties, vests, andsports jackets. Jim Evans wore anabsolutely stunning sombrero andMissy’s dazzling tee shirt had a mes-sage that seemed to be aimed di-rectly at Doug Doll, but I better lether tell you about it...

Tuesday was also the primaryelection and not many folks botheredto vote. We all voted at Ralph after

the branding, although there wasn’tmuch on the ballot. A lot of the localsshowed up to exercise their right tovote, but the turnout was pretty dis-mal across the state. The electionthis fall should be more exciting, sohopefully more voters show up.

I can’t remember if I told you yet,but I and Sen. Jim Bradford kepttwisting Liz (Marty) May’s arm untilshe agreed to run for the House inDistrict 27. Liz was raised on theMarty ranch just south of us and sheand her sweet husband, Avery May,ranch and run a grocery store atKyle on the Pine Ridge reservation.

Rep. Ed Iron Cloud didn’t run forre-election this year and it lookedlike Liz would coast into office withno opposition until Kathleen Annfrom Scenic filed petitions on June5th to run as an Independent. It willnow be a three-way race for the twoHouse seats, but my money is on Lizto win one of those seats, eventhough she’s running as a Republi-can in a heavily Democrat district.Liz has lived on the rez all of hermarried life, her husband Avery isIndian, their friends and family arealmost all Indian, and they employa lot of natives at their grocery storein Kyle. Last election, Kathleen Annran against Mike Verchio and LanceRussell in District 30 and gottrounced, so I’m betting that this fallthe winners in the House race forDistrict 27 will be Elizabeth Mayand Kevin Killer. For the good of the

state, let’s hope I’m right!Syble Brown, age 85 of Faith,

passed away Friday at Rapid CityRegional Hospital following a stroke.Her funeral will be Wednesday inFaith. Syble was a very talented mu-sician and a wonderful lady. Folksfrom a very large area are going toreally miss her. Her family has oursympathy.

Saturday was the 40th anniver-sary of the Rapid City flood. Ourneighborhood lost two people inwhat was called a “500 year flood”.Margaret Miller from Buffalo was anattendant in a friend’s wedding anddied trying to save the life of a manwho was confined to a wheelchair.Wilford Smolnikar from Reeder livedup in Dark Canyon and was sweptaway in the torrent of water thatroared down the canyon destroyingeverything in its path. The woundsfrom that tragic flood will live on aslong as the memories remain.

On a happier note, Greg and RoxieFinck celebrated their 40th weddinganniversary this Saturday. A relativewas visiting Ellingson’s and Phillip,Nancy, Becky, and Tucker took himon a tour around the neighborhoodto show him some of the old Elling-son homesteads. I joined them at theGlendo Cemetery and the site of theold Glendo School just west of thecemetery. From there we drove overeast in a vain attempt to find thegrave of Ed Larwick, another rela-tive of theirs who was buried on his

homestead in Glendo Township. Itwas getting late, so we had to aban-don the search so Tucker wouldn’t belate for his Grandma and GrandpaFinck’s anniversary party!

Speaking of anniversaries, canyou believe that Pete and NubbyLarson have been married for half acentury? How time does fly whenyou’re having fun. Jeff, Mindy, andWill are hosting an Open House tocelebrate their parents’ 50th on Sun-day, June 17th from 1-4 pm at theSnapper’s Club out by the fishhatchery in Spearfish. We’ll see youthere!

These anniversaries remind me ofa story I heard about a Norwegianwho figured out the secret to a longand happy marriage:

At All Saints Lutheran Churchthey have a weekly husband's meet-

ing. Ole, who was approaching his50th wedding anniversary, wasasked to take a few minutes andshare some insight into how he hadmanaged to stay married to thesame woman all these years.

"Vell", Ole replied to the assem-bled husbands, "I've tried to treather nice, spend da money on her, butbest of all I took her to Norvay for da20th anniversary!"

The Pastor responded, "Ole, youare an amazing inspiration to all thehusbands here. Please tell us whatyou are planning for your wife foryour 50th anniversary."

Ole proudly replied, “I'm a gonnago get her!"
