Building committee gives update on research

South Grand bridge is making progress Attorney Bogue meets with Tow

by Teddi CarlsonAll five school board membersere present when the Bisonhool Board met Monday nightr their regular session.First on the agenda was discus-on concerning the construction ofe new shop and classroom build-g. Chairman Dan Kvale andarcie Brownlee-Kari, buildingmmittee members, gave an up-te on their research. Morton

uildings of Rapid City could pro-de generic specs for $10,000.her firms may charge $19,000.write specs for a building.

eneric specs are specs writtening the cost of their building ma-rials. Nick from Morton Build-

gs explained to Kari that ahool representative could spellt what the school wants. thenorton Buildings could tell thep what is available for theoney the school wants to spend.Morton writes the specs theyn bid on the project. Tarina Ko-en, Art teacher, who was presentquested that two large class-oms be built rather than three

mall ones. Large desks areeded for art projects to makeom for art supplies, she said.

he also has up to 15 students inr art classes. Eric Arneson, a

school board member, suggestedtelling the builder what is neededand let the builder decide whatcan be built for the money theschool has to spend. Kvale sug-gested that air conditioning be in-stalled in the proposed classroomsalso. Arneson also proposed thatan automotive section be installedin addition to metal working andwood working in the shop. Therewould also be storage up stairsabove the classrooms. Kari sug-gested that local builders be con-tacted to draw up specs. North-west Supply in Lemmon could alsowrite specs for the proposed build-ing, said Arneson. As a result thebuilding committee will continueto research various options wherespecs could be written at a reason-able price.

SOS Basketball season will soonbe here and as a result COACHESARE NEEDED as follows: gradeboys basketball, junior high boysand girls basketball, varsity boysbasketball head and assistant andgirls basketball head and assis-tant. Contact Don Kraemer soonso these positions can be filled.

Kathy Hafner, a para profes-sional , was hired to be a teachersaid.

Parts from the old walk-in

freezer have been declared sur-plus. The school will soon adver-tise for bids on these parts. A 1957set of encyclopedias have also beendeclared as surplus. This set willalso be advertised for bids.

Thirty new volleyballs havebeen purchased for the school inreadiness for the district volleyballtournament to be held at the BisonSchool the end of this month. Thenew volleyballs are required foruse at the tournament. the usedvolleyballs were declared as sur-plus and will also be advertised forbids.

Superintendent Kraemer washappy to report that 96.5% of par-ents attended parent-teacher con-ferences held last week. It is nec-essary to have good communica-tion between students and parentsfor the good of all.

Teachers will also have CrisisResponse training on a Friday inthe future. Such training has notbeen done recently.

By Gladys JacksonSeveral items on the Boards

agenda presented questions need-ing some legal clarification. Attor-ney Bogue was on hand to help.The Board was presented with asigned Municipal Initiative Peti-tion Measure from a group of con-cerned citizens regarding the law-fulness of citizens to possess ani-mals within the city limits ofBison.

Attorney Bogue advised theBoard on timing issues related togetting the Petition on the upcom-ing November ballot telling themit is too late for that. There is notenough time to get the appropriate

number of readings completed.But he said the Board could hold aspecial election on the Petition orvote to put it on the regular Mu-nicipal election in April. Due to thefact that the Board would like tobecome more informed about thisMeasure and then be able to in-form the public, it was decided toinclude this Measure with the reg-ular Municipal Elections in April.More information will be pre-sented to the public and the Mea-sure will be published in due time.

The Board also had questionsregarding the removal of thegarage on the old Richard Heckproperty which had been pur-chased by Sharon Siefken, butnever removed. Several certified

What Ranch Couples ReallyTalk About

It might be assumed that ranchcouples who work together donthave anything to share with eachother at the end of the day. Au con-traire!

Couples who handle ranch to-

gether, regularly discuss topicsthat affect the whole world. Takethe weather for example. Its a bigpart of our life in our work andmore importantly, our moods. Myhusband and I discuss the weatherin detail by taking turns askingwhat the forecast is for the nextday or week ahead.

Our weather discussions typi-cally begin with interrogativestatements such as, Whats thetemp out? or Whats the tempsupposed to be today/tomorrow?This leads to comparing recentdaily high and nightly low temper-atures.

Sometimes friendly wagers aremade about the temperature afterhaving spent our day outside. Themost popular one this past sum-mer was, Ill bet it was at least a

100 degrees out today. We com-pare our guesses to what the tem-perature gauge recorded for thehigh then reset the memory to doit again the next day. What usu-ally follows is sharing how thetemperature and/or weather haveaffected our energy and motiva-tion for the day.

A frequent chat we have duringthe winter months after one of ushas returned to bed after using thebathroom during the night is,How cold is it? which means heor she is expected to read the ther-mometer and report back.

The rain gauge is another areawe hash out regularly: Did youcheck the rain gauge? or Whatsthe gauge say? or How muchrain did we get last night? The allimportant question once the rain-drops, or if were lucky, rainfallamounts have been noted is, Didyou dump the rain gauge? so nexttimes moisture level can berecorded.

Besides weather-related conver-sations, we also show a genuine in-terest and/or concern about eachothers individual work. At leastonce or twice in the wintertime,my husband will ask me, Did youwash my jeans in hot water? orDid you dry my jeans in the

dryer? or both and are usually fol-lowed by a delayed afterthoughtof, My pants are too tight.

A brush with the occuBy Richard P. Holm MD

Here rises a tale of mysterydealing with the occult.

An 80 something year old gen-tleman, came into my office a fewmonths ago with a new lump onhis neck. It didnt hurt; he had nosores in his mouth; and he noted

nothing else unusual, except thathe had been recently widowed andhe missed his wife terribly.

On exam there was a hard lumpbehind his ear and jaw measuringabout the shape and size of anolive. My initial exam of earcanals, hearing, nasal passages,mouth, tongue, and throat foundhim to be normal. His voice wasclear and there were no palpableirregularities of the trachea, whichwas positioned midline in his neck.

I sent him to the Ears-Nose-and-Throat (ENT) specialist totake a direct look with a scope at

the back of the nose, throat, vocalcords, and to remove or biopsy thelump. The scope exam was clearbut after the biopsy of the lump,the microscopic exam brought thediagnosis of metastatic squamouscell carcinoma of the head andneck, with occult primary.

In other words his cancerstarted from skin-like thin sheetsof cells that commonly line theupper airways, and the term oc-cult is medical lingo for a cancerthat has spread from another sitebut the original primary site re-mains a mystery. I remember an-other case of a metastatic cancerfirst discovered in the brain, buton autopsy the occult primary wasfrom the lung. The medical mean-ing of occult is nothing mystical ormagical, just unknown, and some-times devastating.

South Dakota pastures nownsurable with rainfall index

Pasture, rangeland and forageRF) insurance is available for13 in South Dakota based on a

ainfall Index (RI). Haying andazing needs can be covered

ainst moisture shortages usingRF-RI, says Matthew Diersen,DSU Extension Risk & Businessanagement Specialist."While producers would preferbe paid if they did not have for-e, PRF-RI relies on a close his-rical relationship between rain-ll timing and forage production

mounts," Diersen said.He explains that producers canard against low precipitationring insured intervals for local-

ed grids specific to haying orazing needs. Rainfall is grid-vel and not farm- or ranch-levelhen measured.November 15, 2012 is the dead-

ne to purchase or change cover-

e for the 2013 calendar year.Diersen explains that the PRF-coverage available in South

akota mirrors pasture rents (perre) for grazing."The coverage is constant at04.23 per acre for haying. In theent that precipitation is low dur-g an insured interval, producersuld use indemnity payments toplace income or to purchase re-acement feed," he said. "Unfor-nately the coverage does not in-ease should prices move higherring the insured year."Encouraging indicators at theate level suggest that PRF-RIould work well to manage forageoduction risk. In years withlow-average rainfall in South

akota the hay yield was alsoen below-average. In particular,table drought years in South

akota (1976, 1988, 2002 and06) had sharply lower rainfalltals and hay yields.According to the Census of Agri-lture there were 23 million acrespermanent pasture and range-

nd across South Dakota in 2007.

PRF has been available in SouthDakota since the 2007 crop yearusing a vegetation index, but only540,000 acres were insured withPRF in 2012.

"As detailed in the crop insur-ance provisions, catastrophic cov-erage is not available for PRF.Thus, producers may also pur-chase Noninsured Disaster Assis-tance Program (NAP) coverage forthe pasture, rangeland, and non-alfalfa hayland," Diersen said.

He says it is up to producers todecide whether the insurance isnecessary and valuable.

"The high subsidy rate likelygives the coverage value, but thereare no absolute guarantees thatprecipitation shortages will al-ways line up with forage needs,"he said.

Premiums for PRF-RI vary bycounty, type, coverage level, prac-

tice/interval, and grid location.Producers have to pick a coveragelevel from 70 to 90 percent of thegrid base. A default to considerwould be the 70 percent level as ithas the highest subsidy rate. Pro-ducers also have to pick a produc-tivity level from 60 percent to 150percent of the county base. This al-lows for intra-county variability insoil type, grade, and forage type.

Diersen explains that there aremany ways to allocate coverage.

"Not all acres need to be in-sured. Selected acres are allocatedacross 11 two-month intervals. In-tervals cannot overlap a givenmonth. At most 70 percent and nofewer than 10 percent of acres canbe in a single interval," he said.

"Ideally, a producer will know keymonths that a lack of precipitationwould result in less forage produc-tion."

In lieu of flowers a memorial hasbeen established to the ShrinersChildrens Hospital.

Remember that your loss is shared by many friends who careand that you're in our thoughts and hearts and in our every prayer

May you find the courage to face tomorrow in the love thatsurrounds you today.

Its funny how the same word can mean different things to different people,depending upon the time and place and the generation using the word. Sometimes

the meaning of a word changes to mean the total opposite of what it once did.Today saying Thats bad! means you think it is really good; or Thats sick! means

it is really healthy and great. Or, calling something cool means you think itsreally hot (hot here meaning really awesome or rad or cool or groovy or hip or swell

or whatever you old guys were saying back then).

Freedom is one of those words that have changed in meaning during my halfcentury of time. Life at Lone Tree School, down what is now called the Owens LakeRoad, included YCL Day (Young Citizen League held the last half of every Friday).

During YCL, we were educated regarding the responsibilities of citizens livingunder our form of free government. Rights were presented in the framework of

responsibilities, of service and self-sacrifice. Rights gave responsibilities and

exercising our freedoms was all about making responsible choices. How I chose toexercise my freedoms brought consequences to me and to those around me.

For many today, freedom means the total opposite of what I was taught. Forthese, the working definition of freedom is not about responsibilities but

irresponsibilities: I have the freedom to be as irresponsible as I want to bewith my words and actions. I have the right to do wrong regardless of how my

choices impact others. A system that tries to promote rights withoutresponsibilities will not be free for long.

The teaching from God is clear: Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is adisgrace to any people. (Proverbs 14:34 NAS) Lets remember this, and not

just on the first Tuesday of November.

There is no shortage of sweeteats on Halloween, which canten be a nightmare for parents.may consist of constant bargain-g with their kids about howuch candy they can consume.stead of dreading the season,e it as an opportunity to teachur children about leading a

althy lifestyle. TOPS Club, Inc.ake Off Pounds Sensibly), thenprofit weight-loss support or-nization, offers tips to encouragemilies to talk about healthy eat-g and candys role in their diets.Set Guidelinesefore the day of trick-or-treating,scuss with your kids the quan-y and frequency they can con-me their sweets and where theyll be stored, so there are no sur-ises on Halloween. Having yourds help set the candy parame-rs will teach them about portionntrol and how to incorporateeats into their everyday lives.rhaps, they can have a few extra

weets on Halloween, but are lim-d to three pieces of candy eachy following only after theyve

nished a nutritious meal. Youn even divide the candy into por-ned bags, so its clear what your

ds are allowed to eat.Have a Conversationalloween is a great opportunitytalk to your kids about healthyting. Make sure to cover nutri-n basics and the importance ofysical activity, explaining how

weet treats can fit into theiralthy habits. It is an important

sson about moderation and willlp children to understand andake healthy lifestyle choices at early age, so, hopefully, they

ont struggle in the future.

Choose FavoritesThe kids are going to collect nu-merous types of candy suckers,chocolates, gummies, and otherconfections. Some treats theylllove and others theyll be able tolive without. When they get homefrom trick-or-treating, have themsort their candy into two piles:

their favorites and non-favoritetreats. It demonstrates to childrenthat they dont have to eat everypiece they receive just because itsthere; they should save their in-dulgences for desserts and candythat they absolutely love. Theirless favorite treats can be savedfor the future or given away. Letthem help make the decision.

Serve Healthy MealsTo help curb snacking while theycollect candy, serve a hearty, bal-anced snack or meal before theyleave. Also, encourage your kids towait until they get home to eat anyof their goodies.

Lead by ExampleBe a role model for your childrenand mindful of the amount ofcandy youre consuming, too. Youmay struggle with regulating your

candy intake, but if youre tryingto teach your kids about self-con-trol and healthy eating, its impor-tant that you practice these behav-iors. You can also set an examplefor the rest of the neighborhood byhanding out healthier treats trail mix, sugar-free gum, mi-crowave popcorn, granola bars,

graham crackers, raisins, bouncyballs, yo-yos, sidewalk chalk, andother such goodies.TOPS Club Inc. (Take Off PoundsSensibly) is the original weight-loss support and wellness educa-tion organization.

By Beth HulmThe comedic, musical duo that

calls itself Deuces Wild DuelingPianos was a big hit when the va-riety show came to West RiverTelephones Annual Meeting lastweek in Bison.

Dave Eichholz and Ted Mander-field, Minneapolis, have been per-

forming together for ten years.Good natured ribbing and improv-isation invited audience participa-tion. Nearly everyone who camefor the free supper, door prizes andbusiness meeting stuck around forthe two-hour show - and left itwishing for more!

Nobody took offense when theWild Deuces joked about eatingpancakes and sausage for sup-perin the garage! They chris-tened people in the audience, suchas guy in the red plaid shirt andlady who looks like Sarah Palin.

Five guys in the purple shirts- telephone employees Josh Mack-aben, Terry Bohnet, KerryHolmes, Andy Arthur and new-comer Curtis Wentz - were goodsports who went onstage to danceand shake a little bootie.

State Representative BettyOlson was also motioned to thefront to sing an old TV jingle; Daveacted the part of a puppet for areaventriloquist Linda Mohagen; andEric danced with program organ-izer and WRCTCs Customer Ser-vice Rep Helen Aaker.

The music in the program was-nt just piano, as one may haveimagined. The entertainers playedthe harmonica, a saxophone,ukulele and guitars. They also

sang songs frommusic, taking rerapt audience.

We had another shower Tuesday,ly 22 hundredths, but a whole lot ofd. A hard freeze dropped the tem-rature to a low of 11 degrees here.ger Nash had 4 degrees at hisuse and just south of him Dennis

ash had 8 degrees. Roger is think-g about switching thermometersth his brother because hes tired of

ways having colder weather. Ronaver at Lantry reported hisubarb was stolen and he knows

ho made it disappear - Jack Frost!West River Telephone held theirnual meeting Monday and I wentwn to eat supper with them. Thetertainment for the evening wassolutely wonderful. If you didnt getchance to watch Dueling Pianos ate annual meeting, make it a pointsee them the first chance you get.u wont be disappointed - they put

on a great show!Casey joined the crew at the Hack-

amore Tuesday to help Doug Dollwork calves. Doc Martin came to PGthe cows and Janet has recoveredenough after her stay in the hospitallast week to cook up an awesome feedfor the guys. I spent the day fightingthe computer, canning more toma-

toes, and digging potatoes.All that digging made me sweat, soI quit with two rows left. After thathard freeze I wish I had stuck with itand dug the last of spuds, althoughIm not pleased with the ones I dug.The grasshoppers and potato bugs re-ally took a toll on the taters. Mostwere golf ball size or smaller, withonly ONE of respectable girth, so Iprobably havent lost much if the resthave frozen in the ground.

Wednesday morning started with

an adrenaline pumping phone callfrom Deputy Sheriff Wyatt Sabo.There was a terrible vehicle accidentjust south of our mail box and Wyattwas calling for medial help. Threeyoung people in a pickup were in-volved in a rollover that ejected allthree, critically injuring the driverafter the pickup somersaulted over

our fence. The driver was hurled fortyfeet through the air and slammedhard into the ground. Emergencieslike this bring out the best in peoplearound here. The first people on thescene called for help and stayedaround until the emergency crews gotthere. They did all they could to helpand then left when they were nolonger needed, not waiting for athank you.

EMTs, law enforcement, firemen,and neighbors converged on thescene. All three victims were pack-aged and loaded into the ambulance.The ambulance met the Life-Flighthelicopter on Highway 79 in the SlimButtes to transfer the driver to RapidCity and then took the other two vic-tims on to the hospital. Buffalo nativeDonald Janvrin is the Life-Flightpilot, which is great because heknows the area and the conditions.An update for everyone who came tothe rescue: the driver is alive and con-scious, although he will be hospital-ized for quite a while. Im happy to re-port that the other two have been dis-missed and are okay.

By the time I helped Sheriff Clark-son and the highway patrolman

gather up the stuff scattered all overthe prairie, I was almost late for theSDACD Northwest Area Legislativeluncheon at the Prairie Lounge inBison. That evening area legislatorswere invited to the Newell School tohear Secretary of State Jason Gantexplain the issues that will be on theballot this fall. There are four consti-

tutional amendments, two referredlaws, and an initiated measure ask-ing for your vote to raise the sales taxby a penny on everything you buy, anincrease of 25%. Just so you know, Illbe voting NO on that one!

The Game Fish and Parks commis-sion met in Deadwood Thursday to fi-nalize the details of the next moun-tain lions season. Hunters will be al-lowed to harvest up to 100 lions in theBlack Hills, with a maximum of 70 fe-male lions. Dogs will be allowed inCuster State Park for hunters hold-ing special permits and hunters withvalid licenses will be allowed to har-vest mountain lions all year outsideof the Black Hills.

Reub and I drove to Gillette Thurs-day to watch Guy and Megans oldestboy play his last football game of theseason. Cade is a sixth grader atRozet and has two younger brothers,Creed and Cass. We spent the nightat their house north of Rozet anddropped Cade and Creed off at schoolbefore heading home on Friday. Wemade it home in time to join theneighbors for the feed supper at theReva Hall.
