~ by Ronda Dennis ~doing a great job with the program.

Staffing is stable, however afterturnovers in a couple of depart-ments, they are back on track.

There has been a number of par-ties and fun programs going on atthe nursing home over the pastyear. One was a Halloween party.

The staff gave gifts for Christ-mas as well as the National HonorSociety and Women HelpingWomen contributions.

Last summer they hosted theirresident/family picnic and carnivalwhich was enjoyed by all. The prof-its went to the residents fundwhich is used for outings, bus tripsand it also supports the Resident ofthe Month.

The Resident of the Month isfeatured at the beginning of eachmonth in the Kadoka Press. Duringthe month, the chosen residentchooses a special meal for theirfamily, and are treated with finedining. They are also pamperedwith royal treatment throughoutthe month.

Other activities included theKGFX Hometown Tour in June.

And then comes the time of yearfor the three-day Department ofHealth inspection.

Sanftner noted that there wereno state deficiencies and a zero per-cent rate of medication errors.However, they had three Federaldeficiencies and seven life safetydeficiencies. One, she said, wasthat there was no exit sign by thestairs in the basement. Everythinghas been fixed.

The completion of the sprinklersystem was the big project for theyear. In addition to the sprinklersystem being installed, along withsoffits to cover the exposed pipes inthe hallway, a new public rest-room, new cement work along thewest side of the building and side-walks were done. A drainage issuetoward the alley was also fixed.

The final project walk throughwith Community DevelopmentBlock Grant, Rural DevelopmentWest Plains Engineering and Com-plete Concrete was done on Oct. 8.

From this project the nursinghome now has a loan for $53,500 atan interest rate of 3.75% with amonthly payment of $216 over thenext 40 years.

Through the grant money theywere able to replace the front doorand the ramp at the back entranceto the clinic.

The total cost of the project was$243,162.96.

The nursing home still has aloan with BankWest for the com-pletion of the clinic in the amountof $31,154.82. Monthly paymentsare $414.

They also have two loans withWest Central Electric for the roof ofthe clinic and nursing home. Com-bined, they total $86,915.35.

With 21 tables at last year’sPrime Rib Dinner, the nursinghome made a profit of $13,000.Sanftner said this year the eventwill be held on Saturday, April 20.

“We need to keep this facilityopen to care for our loved ones,” sheadded.

Once the new windows, thatStilwell mentioned earlier, are in-stalled, Sanftner said that leaveswindows in one room, the nursinghome offices and the county nurseoffices to replace.

Other purchases this year in-clude two water heaters, seven airconditions, a compressor for the airconditioner in the clinic, a floorbuffer, freezer, four beds and othersmaller daily items.

Sanftner reminded those in at-tendance that the nursing homeputs a lot of money back in thecommunity through wages($839,335), food and utilities($103,900).

Insurance is another big item.There are plans to make an in-crease on coverage. The nursingcurrently carries $2.5 million onthe building and $250,000 on thecontents. Plans are to increasethose figures to $5 million and $1million, respectively.

Sanftner thanked the board forall of their support and all they do.

Kent Olson said, “When all they(Dept. of Health) find is littlethings in the state survey, that’s agood survey.” He said it comesdown to the hands-on care. Resi-dent care is done well here.

In going over the income state-ment, he said some of the expenseshave gone down, but they need torun close to full to keep the total

margin down.This year’s total resident income

was $1,260,806 and the expenseswere $1,303,733. Other miscella-neous income brought figures up$19,749 for a 1.57 percent totalprofit margin.

He said the legislature is talkingabout a three percent increase inMedicaid, however, they are not sofocused on nursing home. Olsonstill stressed the need for everyoneto contact their legislators.

Regarding the Kadoka Clinic, hesaid numbers were off a little thisyear, but it was in Philip, too.

Olson thanked the entire stafffor all of their work.

President Larry Dolezal notedthat it’s good having Liz May inPierre.

He said in the future, the nurs-ing home will need to look into pur-chasing a new range for thekitchen.

Dolezal also reminded everyonethat the board of directors meet thethird Monday of each month. “Thenurses reports are appreciated,” headded.

Sanftner noted that everyone(employees and residents) at thenursing home is like family andmany of the employees will pick upthings for the residents and not ex-pect to be paid.

Dolezal congratulated Tom Terk-ildsen for serving 10 years on theboard of directors and that Terkild-sen was stepping down from theposition.

Randi Oyan, who serves on thenominating committee, said JoAnnLetellier will serve another termand that Marv Moor was interestedin serving on the board.

A motion carried to cast unani-mous ballots for Letellier and Moor.

The meeting closed in prayer,led by Dolezal.

The Kadoka Nursing Home As-sociation held their annual meetingWednesday, January 23 with 20members in attendance.

Secretary Jo Christensen’s min-utes from last year’s meeting wereread and approved.

In the absence of TreasurerJoAnn Letellier, Ruby Sanftnergave the auxiliary report with anopening statement balance of$9,280.06 and by the end of theyear the balance was $8,940.98.

Income from the Holiday Festi-val netted $7,218.59.

Expenses included $4,384.14 fora sit/stand lift; $269.78 for HolidayFestival supplies; $1,143.75 forHoliday Festival expenses (food)and $1,760.00 for KCBA Bucksgiven to nursing home staff forChristmas.

Linda Stilwell didn’t have highnumbers to report under the im-provement fund with a checkingaccount balance of $72.61. How-ever, she said she’s purchased morenew windows in the amount of$11,000,00. They are sanded,stained and ready to be installedonce the weather warms up.

Stilwell also noted that the foun-dation checking account balance is$416.00 and the fund account bal-ance shows $24,852.21.

Taking the majority and very in-formative portion of the meetingwas Ruby Sanftner’s year-end re-port.

She said the number of residentshas fluctuated this year between28 and 30. However, in Decembernumbers dipped to 25. The nursinghome was sad to lose eight resi-dents last year.

The Medicaid rate is still$107.93 and the private rate in-creased to $160.00 a day this year.At this time there is no informationon rate changes for Medicaid.

The nursing home received aone-time pass thru from the De-partment of Social Services to beused for staff salary adjustment. Itwas used for one-time employeebonuses based on longevity ofwork. This was done during Na-tional Nursing Home Week.

The are approximately 40 fulland part-time employees at thehome.

The nursing home is now with asecond vendor for calculating therate of pay for Medicaid residents.Sanftner said Kerri Schofield is

meeting; Moor replaces Terkildsen on board possession and 416 misdemeanorcharges against adults, and 200 ofthose dismissed, Glynn said “weare sending a bad message to kids.”

Glynn said the Attorney Gen-eral’s office has voiced its supportfor the bill, as well as the SouthDakota States Attorneys Associa-tion.

Supporting testimony camefrom the Concerned Women ofSouth Dakota.

However, the bill’s current lan-guage was criticized by the StateFarm Insurance Company lobbyistDick Tieszen, and RogerTellinghuisen, lobbyist for S.D.Trial Lawyers Association, as wellas several members of the commit-tee.

Sen. Corey Brown, R-Gettys-burg, questioned whether that oneadditional law would have changedanything that happened the nightthat Glynn’s son died.

Sen. Larry Rhoden, R-UnionCenter, also questioned whetherthe law would be effective.

The bill died 5-4 and was movedto the 41st day.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~After the meeting, Glynn said “I

really thought with the State’s At-torney Association and the Attor-ney Generals’ Association, thepeople who have to enforce theselaws and know the laws inside andout that are on the books, andwhether they are enforceable or notand whether they are enough ornot, I really thought their backingto the legislators would say ‘youfolks are the expert in this field andso we are going to rely on your rec-ommendation.’”

That didn’t happen, she said.However, Glynn said “we will

never know if this would keepsomeone from having a party attheir house.”

She said she will continue tofight for a law such as this.

An attempt to set up misde-meanor charges for adults who pro-vide parties for under-age drinkersfailed to pass out of the SenateState Affairs Committee Jan. 23 atthe S.D. Legislature in Pierre.

The measure failed by one vote,following sometimes emotional de-bate, but backers vowed to keepworking on the bill to make it ac-ceptable to lawmakers.

Sen. Larry Lucas, D-Mission,said there currently is no definitionfor the term “social host,” but isgenerally agreed that it refers tosomeone who provides the locationbut not necessarily the alcohol fora party.

It is not a defense, said Lucas,for the adult to say that he was notpresent at the party.

Joyce Glynn, West River rancherwith her husband, Roger, relatedthe story of how their son, Michael,lost his life following his 2006 highschool graduation and attendingthe subsequent party where under-age teens were drinking.

He died as the result of a one-ve-hicle rollover where he was ejectedfrom the car.

That spring, Glynn said, 13other teenagers died under similarcircumstances.

President Obama, noted Glynn,has said that “the first task of soci-ety is to keep our children safe.”She questioned whether we aredoing everything possible to dothat.

She discussed the three compo-nents to keep children safe as edu-cation, legislation andenforcement. It is clear, she said,that it is illegal for anyone underthe age of 21 to drink alcohol, andcalled this bill “another tool” to beused.

provides nursing home and as-sisted living care for state veteransand their spouses.

The state is building a new Vet-erans Home, for which funding al-ready has been approved. Theofficial ground breaking is sched-uled for this spring, Daugaard said.

Closing the federal VA Hospitalaffects about 300 employees in theHot Springs area, he said, andwould make such services as dialy-sis and mobile CAT scan more dif-ficult for vets to access.

Criminal justice reformThe Governor also discussed the

progress of one of his favored proj-ects, the criminal justice reformpackage.

He said he was glad to see hestrong support the bill received incommittee and in the Legislatureas a whole. For the most part, hesaid, legislators have agreed that itis worthy of their support.

If enacted, Daugaard said, theprogram will improve public safetyand hold people accountable fortheir actions.

He reminded that 80 percent ofthe people put in prison are not vi-olent. Working through the Drugand Alcohol Court programs, hesaid, people will learn how to beself-disciplined.

Economic developmentGrowing the state’s existing

businesses is perhaps the mostfruitful of economic developmentactivities, said Daugaard.

The other two ways are to starta business or bring a business infrom another state. But 70 percentof the time, he said, it is most fruit-ful to grow an existing business.

Many times, he said, the lack ofa state income tax is not always thebest incentive, since there areother, more immediate incentivesthat take priority in the choiceprocess.

In the case of Bel Brands, thelarge cheese operation relocating toBrookings, Daugaard said, thereare huge depreciation deductions,which completely offset income forthe next number of years.

The expiration of the contrac-tor’s excise tax redemption needs tobe addressed, the governor said.That had been a tax on the serviceof the contractor, and half of it hasbeen given back on large projects.

A replacement measure passedby the Legislature last year was re-ferred and defeated by voters inNovember. The Governor said hewants any new incentives to be abipartisan effort.

The battle continues to save thefederal Veterans AdministrationHospital in Hot Springs from clo-sure.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard told aSouth Dakota Newspaper Associa-tion group Jan. 24 that he had justreturned from Hot Springs wherehe met with the Save the VA Com-mittee. A presentation is plannednext month in Washington, D.C.,he said. The three members ofSouth Dakota’s Congressional del-egation, Daugaard and committeemembers plan to meet with thehead of the Veterans Administra-tion, he said, to voice their opposi-tion to the closing.

The announcement of the possi-ble closing of the facility at HotSprings came in December 2011.Relocation of some of the servicesto Rapid City was opposed bymany.

The VA Hospital, said Daugaard,includes an acute care clinic, hos-pice care, outpatient clinic andpharmacy. It also includes a drugand alcohol treatment domiciliary,as well as treatment for post-trau-matic stress syndrome.

It should not be confused, hesaid, with the State VeteransHome, also in Hot Springs, that

teleconferences conducted byelected officials are subject to openmeeting laws, elected officials cannow have a similar group conversa-tion via email or text and there isnothing that makes that conversa-tion open and public. Commonsense says that's just not right.

Conceivably, an entire agendafor an elected body could be dis-cussed using email or text messag-ing. While that's unlikely, here'sone example of what could happen.An email goes out to the full schoolboard and asks for comments abouta proposal to phase out the dis-trict's art program. Everyone is in-vited to share his or her views.Everyone weighs in and a majorityagrees that the district can nolonger afford to fund the art pro-gram.

As the law now stands, the pub-lic is excluded from observing thatdiscussion. And while no official ac-tion can be taken until the boardmeets in an official session, the dis-cussion that led to the decision re-mains hidden from public view. Theboard meets, votes and since theentire discussion was conducted byemail, no one knows what led tothe decision; there's no officialrecord of that discussion.

Common sense says that's justnot right.

Elected officials have acceptedthe framework in which they do thepeople's business for decades. Thatincludes notice of meetings, postedagendas and holding those meet-ings in public. It's at the heart ofhow we function as a democracyand as a republic.

A changing world requires adap-tation. That's something the 33-member task force, which includedrepresentatives of news organiza-tions, state officials, law enforce-ment officials, prosecutors, andofficials from cities, counties andschool districts, recognized last

summer. That's why it recom-mended including "electronic textcolloquy" in open meetings andrecords laws. And that is why thegovernor and attorney generalhave moved this legislation for-ward.

Speaking to newspaper editorslast week, Gov. Daugaard spokeabout the importance of this issue.When people think of teleconfer-ence, Daugaard said "You're think-ing of someone on the phone. But ifyou're texting each other andyou're replying to all, really, if youthink about it, that's no different.It's just a different way of chattingback and forth and those should besubject to the open meeting noticesand the texts would need to be anopen record."

Gov. Daugaard clearly gets it.Now it's up to our legislators.The measure gained a slim 7-6

approval from the House State Af-fairs Committee last week and isheaded for a vote by all representa-tives in the House. Contact yourrepresentatives and tell them tovote yes on HB 1113. You can callthem at 773-3851 or you can findcontact information on the S.D.Legislative Research Council'swebsite.

HB 1113 deserves full support inthe House and then the Senate. Re-gardless of technological advancesand forms of communication, theprinciple of open and public debateis critical. Our legislators need toknow that we, the people, expectnothing less than full support tomaintain that ideal.

It's a matter of common sense.

By Tim L. WaltnerRemarkable technological ad-

vances in recent years havechanged the way we do countlessthings. Phones once tethered towalls have become portable devicesthat are now wireless hand-heldcomputers. Financial transactionsno longer require cash, checks or,increasingly, plastic cards. GPSsystems have made asking for di-rections obsolete. Cameras nolonger require film.

Technology has dramatically al-tered virtually every aspect of ourlives. We communicate with eachother in ways that only a few yearsago seemed to be science fiction.That has touched our personallives as well as the way we do busi-ness. And that includes the way inwhich government operates.

That reality led the Open Gov-ernment Task Force convened lastyear by Gov. Dennis Daugaard andAttorney General Marty Jackley torecommend including new methodsof communication in the trans-parency and accountability thatare the bedrock of open govern-ment. The result is HB 1113, whichexpands the definition of telecon-ference "to include certain meet-ings conducted through electronictext colloquy and to require the re-tention of certain records of textcolloquy meetings for public inspec-tion."

"Colloquy" is a legal-technicalterm meaning discussion. Don't letthe word throw you; it's simply con-versation. If an email goes out tothe mayor and full city council, aschool board or a county commis-sion and asks for them to reply tothe group, that's a conversation. Ifthey were having that conversation- all of them face to face - thatwould be an official meeting - openand public. But, as of now, if it'semail or text, it's not public.

While the law already says that

Jeremiah 29:11-13Unlike God’s “determined will,” His “desired will” is

resistible and conditional. We have a choice to do thingsour way or His. The Lord designs a specific plan utiliz-ing a believer’s unique gifts and talents for the king-

dom. He wants to share His desired will so that we can live successfully. First, God wants us to follow the moral laws, like the Ten Commandments, which apply to everyone.Throughout Scripture, we find principles that can add joy and meaning to our lives, such as the instruc-tion always to give thanks and put aside bitterness in favor of forgiveness.(1 Thess. 5:18; Eph. 4:31-32) Following those basic principles lets us discover the second part of God’s desired will—His intentionsfor our personal life. One good example is vocation. Before our birth, God predestined us to have specificskills, talents, and spiritual gifts, which suit us for certain types of work. Our vocation may change, butwith divine guidance, our work will consistently “fit” us. Finally, God’s desired will is active in our daily life. What interests us interests Him, no matter howtrivial. For example, we’ve all sent up desperate prayers when we couldn’t locate something we needed.Often we find the object within moments because a caring Father leads us right to it. The Lord wants to work in our life, and He’ll send blessings if we follow Him. Remember, He’s a lovingFather; what’s more, He is all-knowing and all-powerful—that is an unbeatable combination, no matterwhat comes against us. It is impossible to get less than the best when we do things His way.

Trust can be a fragile commod-ity. Take the cooking island in ourkitchen, for example. It looks niceand solid just like the otherkitchen cupboards, but it has onemajor difference in that it’s onwheels. In other words, if you leanagainst it too hard, it’s apt tomove. This can be unsettling. Itmight mean you have to makesome quick adjustments to avoidfalling on the floor. Nasty. Oneeventually learns not to trust thething but probably not until afteryou’ve had a few tense moments. Sometimes in this life, it istricky to decide what or who youcan trust. Do you, for instance,trust your current car or pickup toalways get you where you want togo? Our vehicles, right now, appearto be fairly trustworthy since theyaren’t terribly old and haven’t beendriven excessive miles. As youknow, any vehicle can turn obnox-ious in the blink of an eye, but youcan often depend on those thataren’t too ancient and have beenproperly maintained. I think of one vehicle I had,though, that I shouldn’t havetrusted as much as I did. Oneevening I drove it at the speedlimit on the freeway for over ahundred miles only to have thefront wheel fall off as I nearedhome. When it dropped, I wasbarely moving since I had slowedfor a sharp corner on our countryroads. It still gave me quite a jolt,especially when I considered whatmight have happened had thatwheel gone when I was speedingdown those steep river hills on thefreeway. It didn’t bear thinkingabout. I was pleased to still bemoving and breathing. Sometimes, too, I’ve put faith incertain people that didn’t deserveit. There was that one time someyears ago when I took in cattle fora fellow who turned out to be verydifficult to deal with. Not only didhe hate to pay his bills, but he alsofailed to move his cattle out at thetime we had previously agreed on.It was with some relief when thatassociation was at last over. Sincethen I’ve been blessed with othercattle deals that have worked outwell for all concerned, but such hasnot always been the case. MaybeI’ve learned who to deal with andwho to leave strictly alone. My good-Samaritan complexhas also landed me in trouble atime or three. One fellow I tried to

help many years ago ended up rip-ping me off for several thousanddollars. He took all my belongingsof any worth and pawned them. Healso depleted my bank account,which wasn’t very large at thetime, by forging my signature.After he’d run off with my assetsand been gone a while, he calledone day and wanted me to helphim some more. He was out of luckby then. He’d given me a harsh les-son, but I’d learned through it, orat least I had in his particularcase. I don’t mind helping peoplebut not when they flat out stealfrom me. Fortunately, my immediatefamily has always been composedof good people. Everyone makesmistakes, but that can be over-looked if the intensions are honor-able. I wouldn’t do any businesswith some of my slightly more dis-tant relatives, but those closest tome are fine. With those who havelived or worked on the ranch, somehave been more competent anduseful than others, but we’ve hadlots of good guys helping us. Nonethat I know of have set out pur-posely to defraud or harm us, andsome have been or are truly excel-lent fellows to have around. Here’s a quote you might like.“Raisin cookies that look likechocolate-chip cookies are themain reason I have trust issues.”Not everything is what it seems.It’s not that I don’t like raisin cook-ies, it’s just that I like chocolatechippers more and am disap-pointed when finding I’ve taken araisin thinking it was a chipper.The same principle can have widerapplication. What else can we trust in? Oneprobably shouldn’t put much hopein winning the lottery as a meansof support. The odds are greatlystacked against us there. Howabout the government? Iffy, don’tyou think? Some doctors andlawyers are dependable. Othersnot so much. I suppose we’ll haveto just go along trying to put faithin those people and things that de-serve it as far as we can tell andavoiding those that don’t. We canalso trust God to help us know thedifference. After all, he is com-pletely trustworthy, has our bestinterests in mind, and has thewherewithal and strength to seeus through. It’s a very great bless-ing to have him on our side.

Lookin’ Aroundby Syd Iwan

Jodie O’Bryan is sporting somehoof-shaped bruises this week afterher horse fell at the first barrel ata barrel-racing event in Rapid City.Then, when the horse stood up andtried to regain its balance, itstepped on her some. As a result,her ear was hurt and some ribswere cracked. In other words, Jodieis making no fast moves. She did,however, manage to show and sellone of her horses at the stock showin Rapid City. This involved a cou-ple of twelve-hour days groomingand showing the horse and movingit back and forth between the eventcenter and civic center. Jodie waspleased that the horse sold to a galfrom North Dakota that she’dhelped at Rodeo Bible Camp maybesixteen or so years ago. That gal isnow married and has some kids.She is married to a fellow who wentto college with Jodie’s son, Taylor.Scot O’Bryan also showed somehorses for clients at the stock show.Other local people showing horsesor at the show included Jesse Carl-son, Jamie Willert, Levi Grimesand Austin Grimes. While theO’Bryans were in Rapid, CellaBaldwin came over and took care ofthe dog. Bud and Valene Perault hadsupper on Sunday evening at Mike,Marlene and Bert Perault’s. Otherthan that, things have been fairlyquiet for the Peraults. Marlenesaid her mom, Lillian Carlson, gotout of the Philip hospital onWednesday after spending aboutten days there. She is doing betternow, the proof of which was thatshe was back to cooking on Sunday.She was also eating better. Mar-lene visited her most days in thehospital to check on how she wasdoing, bring her what she needed,etc. Lillian doesn’t plan on doingany day care for kids in the nextweek and will just see how thingsgo after that. Chuck Fortune said he got torope a couple of calves this week totreat them for such things as footrot and pneumonia, but otherwisethings have been quiet over theirway. MaKaylan Bonenberger reportsthat they had nine calves alreadyon Sunday including one of hers.Her mom, Nikki, added that theheifers weren’t due to calve untilFebruary first but decided to get ajump on things. The nice weatherhas made that okay. On Saturday,MaKaylan and her grandmother,Pam Bonenberger, went to Mitchellwhere they helped MaKaylan’saunt, Alisha, celebrate her birth-day. On Sunday, they watched Al-isha’s daughter, Joslin, participatein a cheerleading conference beforethey returned home. Betty Kusick caught a ride southto Wanblee on Wednesday withCrystal Paulson. She visited JoeLivermont a while before Crystalcame back from teaching andpicked her up. On Thursday, herdaughters, Loretta and Kathy,came, and Kathy gave Betty a per-

manent. Loretta returned on Sun-day but was delayed long enoughthat she told Betty she had time totake in the potluck dinner at thechurch hall after church, so Bettydid. Betty said her son, Kenny, wasscheduled for a bit of surgery at theEye Institute in Rapid City thisweek. This is supposed to correct aproblem with Kenny’s eye lashesbeing too long, curling into the eye,and irritating it. Larry Dolezal led the churchservice at Interior on Sunday as heoften does on the last Sunday ofeach month. Larry and Joy oftencontinue on to Wall for dinner afterchurch at Interior, but this monthLarry came back to Belvidere rightafter church there for the annualcongregational meeting andpotluck at Belvidere. Joy said shehas been babysitting her grandson,Travis Dolezal, some lately whilehis mom, Jamie, works with countyhealth in food distribution, etc.Travis usually stays with LillianCarson on the three days a weekJamie works, but Lillian has beenin the hospital lately and not ableto do day care. Joy also helps at Re-lease Time in Kadoka mostWednesdays. Greg and Dana Badure and kidswere visited on Saturday by Ericand Pam Osborn,and Pam’s daugh-ter, Syd Beth. Eric continued theproject of shoring up floors. Gregsaid he was able to beat Eric atbowling on the video Wii game.Greg and Dana currently haveDana’s niece, Felicia, and her four-month-old daughter, Isabella, stay-ing with them. Felicia is fromMaine, but has visited here oftenand is a good friend of BriannaBadure. Greg said that his brother,Bax, has made some tooled-leathersaddlebags to be used for the Stock-grower fundraiser connected withthe stock show in Rapid City. Thisweekend, Bax, Carol, and Kiannawent to a gun show in Winner.There was an extremely old gun onsale that Bax had his eye on. Un-fortunately, it sold for more thanBax was willing to pay. Marie Addison was visited byher daughter, Teresa Walker, ofGillette, WY, this weekend. Thegals visited Jean and Dave Cal-hoon on Saturday. On Sunday, theytook in church in Belvidere plus thepotluck dinner and annual meetingafter church. Marie was visited lastweekend by her daughter, Rena.Rena had a birthday about then,but thought she could get by withthe many tins of cookies Marie hadsitting around, and a big cake wasnot necessary. Rena wanted toknow how to make Marie’s fudgerecipe so Marie gave her some les-sons. Teresa planned to stayovernight with Rena in Rapid Cityon Sunday before returning toGillette on Monday. Marie said shegained another great granddaugh-ter recently when Shirley Doud’sdaughter, Alison Crago, ofWyoming gave birth to a girl theynamed, Shae.

In South Dakota, we value theoutdoors. Our economy is based onagriculture. Our heritage is basedon outdoor activities – huntingpheasants, fishing in the MissouriRiver, camping in our state parks,and enjoying the beauty of theBlack Hills. We invest in the out-doors and create assets that will bepassed on to future generations. This year, I am asking the Leg-islature to invest in three projectsthat will strengthen our outdoorheritage: a new state park at BloodRun in Lincoln County, an exten-sion to the Mickelson Trail, and anew visitor center at Custer StatePark. First, I am proposing that wecreate our 13th state park at BloodRun in Lincoln County. This will beSouth Dakota’s first new state parkin 40 years. The Blood Run sitesoutheast of Sioux Falls has a his-tory over the centuries as a placefor trade and peaceful gathering ofNative American tribes. The pris-tine oak forest on the rolling banksof the Big Sioux River will providenew opportunities for educationand recreation in a place of beautyand cultural significance. As a second initiative, I am pro-posing an extension from the Mick-elson Trail to Mount Rushmore.This extension will allow hikersand bikers to approach our Shrineof Democracy on a winding trailthrough a wilderness area of theBlack Hills. A parallel track willalso accommodate horseback rid-

ers. The Mickelson Trail is alreadyone of our nation’s finest hikingand biking trails, and linking itwith Mount Rushmore will make iteven more outstanding. Finally, I am proposing a newvisitor center at Custer State Park.The facility will include a theaterwhere visitors can learn about allthe features and opportunities forexperiences that are found inCuster State Park. Other parksusing such an introductory toolhave found that visitors willlengthen their stays if they are ed-ucated about all the offerings in thepark. Our Custer State Park is atrue jewel, on par with many na-tional parks, but visitors will some-times overlook the breadth of itsofferings. A new visitor center willhelp avoid this, and encouragetourists to stay longer. Because of our state’s balancedbudget and strong economy, we arefortunate that South Dakota is in aposition to invest in these projects.Our Game, Fish, and Parks De-partment estimates that thesethree projects, once built, will beprofitable – that is, the visitor feesthey generate will cover the costs ofthe parks and help fund SouthDakota’s other state parks. South Dakota’s love for the out-doors is something that we mustpass on to our children and grand-children. As we are able, we shouldinvest in projects that will be as-sets for generations to come.

Dan and Susan Taft went toRapid City and Dan kept an ap-pointment to get the screws re-moved from his shoulder. He isbeginning to be more like himselfevery day. He really is enjoying thephone calls; they sure help himpass the time in the house so keepthem coming. James and Marjorie Anne Letel-lier enjoyed visiting Ellen Tottonand Bill and Marjorie Letellier inPhilip on Tuesday. It was nice tosee Marjorie’s apartment in the Sil-ver Leaf. Her new address is SilverLeaf Assisted Living, PO Box 818,Philip, SD 57567. Marjorie wouldlove to have you drop by for a visitanytime, too. Susan Taft and daughters,Heather and Morgan, made a tripto Philip to get the car home onWednesday evening. I talked to JaLynn at SunshineBible Academy the other day andshe said, it was 21 degrees and justlike a spring day. I didn’t dare tellher it was 50 here. On Monday itwas different story, but it is stillabove freezing. Happy belated birthday wishesto Christine Dunham. Christineturned 83 on Thursday, January24. She was kept busy with phonecalls from her family, and was es-pecially thrilled to hear from herchildren and grandchildren whoare scattered from Arizona toTexas. The furnace guy has been busyat the Robert and Sharon Ringhome. He and Torey were dinnerguests on Thursday. Thursday, James and MarjorieLetellier went to Pierre and thencontinued on to Sunshine BibleAcademy for the wrestling tripledual between Plankinton/ Mt.Ver-non/ Corsica Titans and the Wess-ington Springs/ Woonsocket/Wolsey-Wessington Blackhawks.Both grandsons, DJ Beckwith andBeaver Burma, wrestled and JasonBurma is the coach for SBA. It wasparents’ night and the first sportsevent in the beautiful new gym.Folks might be interested to knowthat Curtis Huffman of WessingtonSprings (formerly of Kadoka) was areferee at both wrestling events wewent to this week. I asked him “Areyou the marathon runner? Mygrandchildren are beginning to be-lieve that all good runners comefrom Kadoka.” It sure shocks thegrandchildren when the grandma

recognizes the referee. Seventhgrader, Matt Terkildsen, was onthe roster at 160 lbs. for the Black-hawks, too. Friday, Christine Dunham en-joyed a visit with Maxine Allard be-fore heading to White River for thebasketball games. Norris School News: The Nor-ris school had a strange and unfor-gettable visitor on Wednesday,when the Elementary PrincipalCella Hermsen of White River ar-rived with “Usher.” “Usher”brought squeals of delight as hebegan getting acquainted with thestudents as he was escorted fromclass to class. “Usher” is a real livepot-bellied pig! The Norris school started thethird quarter on January 21. Morgan Taft caught a ride intoWhite River for the middle schoolbasketball games on Friday andworked the concession stand. Laterthat evening Susan went in to thegames and brought her home. Friday, many folks from thisarea attended the middle schooland high school boys basketballgames in White River. There weresix basketball games going therethat evening. White River MiddleSchool hosted Lyman County in thelittle gym while the WR HighSchool Tigers boys were playingthe Pine Ridge Thorpes in the bigauditorium. We went at 4 o’clockand still didn’t see all the kids wewent to watch play! Norris is wellrepresented on all the differentteams. White River girls were play-ing at Lower Brule that night, too.I dare say, you could get in on abasketball game anytime you wantto in White River, even a practicewould be fun to see. Saturday, Marjorie Anne Letel-lier accompanied Julie Letellier ofKilgore, NE, and Sue Larson ofRapid City to a wrestling meet atOnida. They arrived just in time tofind out that DJ Beckwith had wonhis first match, but injured hisshoulder in the effort so was unableto wrestle the rest of the day. Thegals visited in the Paul and Lu-Anne Beckwith home at Pierre be-fore returning home. Andee Beckwith visited her par-ents in Pierre on Sunday to helpher dad, Paul, celebrate his birth-day. The parent support group of theNorris Head Start sponsored a hot-dog and sloppy joe meal benefit atthe Norris School gym on Sunday.They are raising money for theend-of-the-year gifts for the HeadStart students.

From the bottom of my heart,thank you and God bless you!

Major David T. Rasmussen

Editor’s Note: The followingwas recently emailed to Quilts WithLove.

Hello, my name is Major DavidT. Rasmussen (Wanda Swan’sgrandson) and I am currently de-ployed to Afghanistan with theUnited States Air Force.

I wanted to send a personalthank you for your act of kindnessby sending the quilts. I understandthe time, effort and attention thatit must take to make these quiltsand then send them to deployedtroops. It is a very nice touch to re-ceive something that makes theconditions over here a bit more likehome. I can say that they arrivedat a perfect time, as it was snowingthis morning and we are seeingovernight temps in the 20s rightnow, and the predictions of belowzero temps through the wintertime.

I have attached a photo of mynew quilt on my bunk and one ofme so that you have a face to gowith this email.

I thought long and hard at howto say thank you in a manner thatis appropriate for an act of kind-ness such as them. I couldn’t getmy words to truly express my feel-ings … but I found these quotesthat better stated what I was try-ing to say.

Soldier relays his appreciation for quilt

Stay warm … This is the quilt that Major David Rasmussen re-ceived from Quilts With Love. He is in the Air Force and stationed inAfghanistan. --courtesy photo

Looking at the origins of thephrase “Luck of the Draw” you’llfind a number of references relatedto cards. If you ask a cowboy theywill tell you that it is indeed de-rived from gambling, just not thekind you do at a table. Dating backto when the West was a wild fron-tier what kind of mount a cowboyhad could determine everything.Through the years as the cowboyhas moved from the frontier to thearena, this fact has remained thesame. As the 36th Annual BlackHills Stock Show and Rodeo® getsready to kick off, the ProfessionalRodeo Cowboys Association has re-leased the stock line-up for the fiveperformance rodeos that will takeplace over the next two weeks andthere are some pairings thatshouldn’t be missed. Bareback Riding Preview: Witha field that includes the two-timereining PRCA World ChampionKaycee Feild, former World Cham-pion Bobby Mote, PBR veteranRoss Coleman, and a number ofWNFR qualifiers it could be any-one’s game. Look for Utah cowboyKaycee Feild to open up the PRCArodeo on Saturday afternoon witha strong score aboard the BurnsRodeo bareback horse High Plainswhile facing some competition inTexas cowboy Clint Cannon onBurch Rodeos’ Hard Luck. As therodeo moves into the second week-end the top scores could be chal-lenged by the following: Utahcowboy Caleb Bennett aboardBurch Rodeos’ Angel Dust, NorthDakota cowboy Casey Breuer onBar C5’s WNFR bareback Make-Up Face, Minnesota cowboy Tan-ner Aus on Sutton Rodeo’s WNFRhorse South Point. Best of the rest: On Friday nightFebruary 1st look for Whitewoodcowboy Jake Smith to have astrong showing on Bar C5’s GoodTimes. Saturday afternoon Febru-ary 2nd, Texas cowboy Ross Cole-man a Professional Bull RidingWorld Finalist will be testing hisskills in a new event aboard SuttonRodeo’s Rambo. Saturday nightFebruary 2nd, former PRCA WorldChampion Bobby Mote and WNFRQualifier Steven Dent will look tomake a strong showing. Saddle Bronc Riding Preview:South Dakota is breeding groundfor both the cowboy and livestocklegends of Saddle Bronc Riding.With names like Tibbs, Etbauerand Tipperary there are some bigshoes to fill for anyone daring tocompete in this event. This year’sfield of contestants includes a num-ber of South Dakotan’s who arelooking to become legends includ-ing former PRCA World Champi-ons Chad Ferley and Jeff Willertalong with a number of WNFRQualifiers, including: Jesse Bail,Red Lemmel, Cody Taton, ChuckSchmidt, and Cole and JJ Elshere.Not to be outdone by South Dakota,Utah is making their presenceknown in Rapid City, as reiningPRCA World Champion JesseWright along with his brothers, for-mer PRCA World Champion CodyWright, WNFR Qualifier JakeWright, Alex Wright and SpencerWright round out the field of con-testants. Thursday night January31st, Cody Taton takes on Bar C5’sBuckskin Sal. Saturday night, Feb-ruary 2nd, Minnesota cowboy TylerCorrington will try and take theround aboard Bar C5’s Biff, but it ifyou’re looking to gamble, a safe betfor Saddle Bronc Champion wouldbe Texas cowboy Bradley Harter

aboard Burch Rodeos’ LunaticFringe. Best of the rest: Thursday night,January 31st, will be showcasingsome of the best cowboys the PRCAhas to offer with 9 of the 12 manfield having competed at the 2011and/or 2012 Wrangler National Fi-nals Rodeo and include three pastand present PRCA World Champi-ons. Friday night, February 1st,Philip cowboy Jace Nelson will tryand take on Sutton Rodeos’ PRCASaddle Bronc Horse of the Year andWNFR Horse of the Finals, Chuck-ulator. Jace comes from a ranchingfamily that includes a long line ofchampions and it will be a goodshow watching him try to ride thisbeast; if he can stay on for eightseconds the score could be big. Sat-urday afternoon, February 2nd,former PRCA World ChampionJesse Kruse is joined by WNFRQualifiers Sam Kelts and TyrellSmith along with Canadian Cham-pion Luke Butterfield. Bull Riding Preview: Bull Ridingis normally referred to as a youngman’s sport but in 2013 Rapid Citywill be welcoming a host of veter-ans along with some young stars.As the rodeo moves into the secondweekend it will be CBR Championand 2011 WNFR Qualifier &Rookie of the Year ChandlerBownds looking to continue his hotstreak against Burch Rodeos’ bullPopeye. Chandler is coming off asurgery that kept him sidelinedmost of the 2012 season and lookshungry to compete. Friday night,February 1st, Newell cowboy Tay-gen Schuelke will look to make amark aboard Burch Rodeos’ ZombieZoo and if he can make the whistlewill face some stiff competition asveteran cowboys Ardie Maier andClayton Savage are both out thatnight. Best of the rest: Thursday, Jan-uary 31st, WNFR Qualifiers CodyWhitney and Tag Elliott will trytheir best to get a paycheck as theyface bulls provided by SuttonRodeo and Burch Rodeo respec-tively. On Saturday night, February 2nd,former PRCA World ChampionDustin Elliott will be looking to col-lect some money as he faces BurchRodeos’ Go Kat Go. PRCA Rodeo action will con-clude on February 2nd.

pers of all sizes in South Dakotaare delivering on those expecta-tions.

All good, right? Yes, except thatsome schools are now putting re-strictions and limitations on howthe local news media can covertheir school sporting events and ac-tivities.

In Pierre, an exclusive contractbetween the school and a localradio station prohibits a competinglocal radio station or the localnewspaper from broadcastingPierre school athletic events. How-ever, the restrictions don't apply toany out-of-town news media out-lets.

In Sioux Falls, the public schooldistrict sought to specifically pro-hibit the local newspaper frombroadcasting high school footballand basketball games on the inter-net.

Elsewhere, newspaper photogra-phers are being unreasonably re-stricted on how they can cover highschool competitions. Reporters arelimited on how they can use socialmedia such as Twitter and Face-book to report live from a highschool game.

Schools offer a variety of reasonsfor these restrictions. Mostly, itboils down to money. Schools look-ing to make additional revenuefrom the performances of studentson the field by placing restrictions

on how the local news media maycover these events.

Incredible as it may sound, thereis a real trend toward more mone-tization of high school sports.

That is why we are working forpassage of a bill in this legislativesession that would prohibit schoolsfrom unreasonably restricting theability of local news media to dotheir job. Senate Bill 119 would notprohibit schools from generatingrevenue through certain contractswith media, so long as those con-tracts do not restrict other mediafrom being able to do their job.

SB119 is not about creating anyspecial or new privilege for newsmedia in South Dakota. It onlytries to ensure the news media inSouth Dakota can do what theyhave always done when it comes toreporting about high school sportsand activities.

Fans and supporters of highschool sports and activities expectthe local news media to be there,creating a chronology and scrap-book of memories and achieve-ments through their stories, photosand other media.

Urge your legislators to supportSenate Bill 119. Let's make surethe hometown news media can con-tinue to do their job and live up tothe expectations of their readersand viewers. Nothing more, noth-ing less.

--by David BordewykSD Newspaper Association

High school football gamesunder Friday night lights and bas-ketball gyms jam-packed with fansare as much a part of South Dakotaas coffee-shop talk about theweather and crops. High schoolsports and other interscholastic ac-tivities such as drama and musicevents fuel intense civic pride inour communities and schools.

The feats and accomplishmentsof students on the field of competi-tion or the performance stage arecelebrated by an entire communityof family, friends and school fans.

The hometown newspaper isthere as well, chronicling thegames and school activities. Cover-ing local school sports and schoolactivities such as plays and con-certs are a big part of what goesinto the local newspaper. The com-munity expects it and a good news-paper meets that expectation.

Technology today has allowednewspapers to expand the toolsthey use to cover high school sportsand events. Newspapers are goingbeyond the traditional stories andphotos printed in the paper to in-novations such as broadcastingfootball or basketball games overthe internet and updating readersthrough social media tools. Read-ers have come to expect that typeof expanded coverage and newspa-

Adele Harty, SDSU ExtensionCow/Calf Field Specialist will beginthe morning with a presentation onalternative feed sources and theconsiderations that need to be madewhen including them in a feedingprogram. Harty has worked forSDSU Extension since 2005. Sheearned her Master of Science De-gree from North Dakota State Uni-versity in Ruminant Nutrition,with a specific focus on cow/calf nu-trition. She is located in the RapidCity Regional Extension Center. Gary Sides, nutritionist withPfizer Animal Health will then givea presentation on the relationshipbetween nutrition and immunology.His talk will focus on the fact thatit's not as simple as giving calves avaccination so they will be able tofend off diseases. There are manyother factors, specifically nutritionthat play a role in the success orfailure of a vaccination program. Sides has extensive beef indus-try nutrition experience, compiling20 years with organizations such asIntervet / Hoechst-Russell Vet,Cargill Animal Nutrition and Moor-man Manufacturing Company. Be-fore putting his nutritionalexpertise to work for Pfizer andbeef producers, Sides spent twoyears as a livestock extension spe-cialist with Texas A&M University,located in Fort Stockton, Texas. Ad-ditionally, Sides was a research sci-entist with Utah State University.Based in Lima, Peru, he worked in

the Andes Mountains above 14,000-feet elevation, studying the repro-ductive and nutritionalcharacteristics of South Americanruminants. He also taught at LaMolina Agricultural University inLima. Dr. Sides currently lives inSterling, Colo. To round out the program, JackDavis, SDSU Extension EconomicsField Specialist will tie it all to-gether by talking about how the de-cisions producers make affect theirbottom line. Strategic planning forfamily farms and ranches as well asfinancial analysis are major areasof interest for Davis. He spent hisundergraduate years at SouthDakota State University, where hegraduated with a B.S. in Agricul-tural Business.

SDSU Extension's Growing AgCEO's program begins Feb. 5 inBelle Fourche at the RancherGrille. Ag CEO's focuses on teaching be-ginning farmers to use a systemsapproach to farm business plan-ning. The program will be held onfour consecutive Tuesdays, endingFeb. 26. An additional session willbe held March 5 for producers inter-ested in obtaining FSA BorrowerTraining credits. Each session willrun from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. allow-ing those who work off the farm orranch to participate. As changes to production sys-tems continue to move forwardacross the state, nation and worldthe farm business needs to changeas well. Breakeven numbers, devel-oping budgets and creating bench-marks to compare the yearlyproduction and financial perform-ance so changes and improvementsto the operation can be imple-mented are the main focuses of AgCEO's. "Ag CEO's is a program geared

toward beginning farmers," saidAdele Harty, SDSU Extension Cow-Calf Field Specialist. "This group ofproducers is being charged withfeeding 9 billion people by the year2050. With the changes to agricul-ture during the past 20-40 years,their skill set needs to change inorder to accomplish that goal andremain a viable and sustainable op-eration." To address these changes thegeneral topics for the sessions in-clude: farm vision, resource inven-tory and management (family, land,crops and livestock), and financialrecord creation, budget develop-ment and analysis and productiontopics that are personalized to theproducers in attendance. Registration for the meeting canbe made at www.igrow.org. Regis-tration fee will be charged. Ques-tions regarding the program can besent to Adele Harty at the SDSUExtension Regional Center inRapid City,adele.harty@sdstate.edu , 605-394-1722.

Sub-zero temperatures are mak-ing life difficult for people through-out the country. Although you maybe concentrated on making sureyour fingers and toes don’t freezeright now, it is also important tomake sure your plumbing doesn’tfreeze.

A frozen pipe can lead to a pipeburst, which can lead to more than$5,000 in water damage. Despitethe current cold temperatures,there are still some last-minute ac-tions you can take to reduce yourrisks of costly damage.

First, find out the truth aboutfrozen pipes below, and then reduceyour risks using frozen pipe re-sources provided by the InsuranceInstitute for Business & HomeSafety (IBHS).

Frozen Pipe Myths1. Only A Plumber Can Prevent

Frozen PipesNot true. There are many things

that you can do yourself to preventyour pipes from freezing, includingsealing windows and doors, addingextra insulation, or use heat tracetape around various piping.

2. Your Risks Go Away WhenTemperatures Begin To Warm

Actually, signs of a pipe burstare often only seen when tempera-tures begin to warm. When a pipefreezes the frozen water may act asa plug, allowing any problems to gounnoticed. Before checking to see ifyou have any issues when temper-atures increase, shut off the watersupply to reduce your water dam-age risks.

3. All Frozen Pipes BurstA pipe can freeze and not burst.

However, a frozen pipe leads to apipe burst, which can cause morethan $5,000 in water damage. Pre-vent a pipe from bursting by notletting them freeze.

4. A Propane Torch Can Be UsedTo Thaw Pipes

Don’t even think about it! Youmay think it will thaw the pipesand prevent significant damage,but you are only increasing yourrisk of fire damage.

Frozenpipe myths

For the 73 percent of SouthDakota's cattle producers whocalve in the spring, calving is rightaround the corner. Being preparedis key for a successful and prof-itable calving season, says KalynWaters, SDSU Extension Cow/CalfField Specialist. "In a year when input costs areat record highs, saving every calfpossible is at the top of producers'check list," Waters said. Cold temperatures and stormsoften threaten newborn calves. Ac-cording to USDA reports, each yearapproximately 95,000 calves arelost annually to cold stress and hy-pothermia. Waters says understanding therisks of hypothermia in newborncalves and working to identify itsseverity quickly allows for propertreatment and will increase calfsurvival. "When calves are 24 hours old orless and air temperatures dropbelow 56.2 degrees, additional en-ergy is needed to maintain theirbody temperature and health," Wa-ters said. She adds that several factors im-pact a newborns calf's ability tocombat hypothermia and coldstress including; maternal dietprior to calving, calving difficulty,hair coat, bedding, colostrum in-take, speed of detection, windspeed, and shelter.Know what the weather holds Waters says one of the first stepsin planning to prevent cold stress,is to have a clear understanding ofwhat weather conditions are. Sheencourages producers to frequentlycheck the Cold Advisory for New-born Livestock (CANL) forecastwhich is available on the AberdeenNational Weather Service Web sitehttp://www.crh.noaa.gov/abr/canl/forecasts.php. "The Cold Advisory for Newborn

Livestock (CANL) forecast at theAberdeen area's National WeatherService Web site was created withinput from northern U.S. ranchersand experts in animal science andthose who study biological re-sponses to extreme weather condi-tions," said Edwards, SDSUExtension Climate Field Specialist. Edwards explains that theCANL forecast takes five factorsinto account: wind chill, rain or wetsnow, high humidity, combinationsof wind chill and precipitation, andsunshine vs. cloudy days. As a re-sult, it is a quick and easy way tocombine several weather factors to-gether to determine the hazardousweather risk to your newborncalves. To learn more about CANL,visit iGrow.org and read "ColdWeather Advisories for NewbornLivestock." To view the NationalWeather Services' CANL, visithttp://www.crh.noaa.gov/abr/canl/forecasts.php . In instances where a calf be-comes chilled, Waters says produc-ers need to be ready to warm themup - whether it's using a warmingbox, water baths or another warm-ing method. To learn more about this topic,Waters encourages producers tovisit iGrow.org and read the follow-ing articles: "Q & A: Lower CriticalTemperatures for Newborn Calves"and "Cold Stress and NewbornCalves." "Calving can be stressful timefor many cow/calf producers, how-ever being prepared and learningmore about how to identify and re-spond to cold stress and hypother-mia will allow for it to be bettermanaged, reducing its impact onthe calving season," Waters said. To learn more on this and otherlivestock topics, visitwww.igrow.org.

Cold stress and newborn calves Rabbits are out in force, saysJohn Ball, Professor and SDSU Ex-tension Forestry Specialist. "You may have noticed the barkmissing from the lower trunks ofyoung trees. When I walkedthrough several shelterbelts lastweek every tree and shrub was cutoff at about 1-foot as cleanly as ifsomeone came by with a pair ofhand pruners," Ball said. Ball reminds that rabbits canchew bark off of larger trees up to aheight of 18 to 20 inches above thesnow line, any chewing that is doneunder the snow line is usually doneby voles or mice. "The damage is most common totrees such as crabapples, apples,honeylocust and maples," he said."Shrub damage is usually entiretwigs or stems cut cleanly at a 45-degree angle. You'll often find smallbrown droppings on the snow nearthese plants." To avoid this problem, the bestmethod is to remove any hidingcover; brush and woodpiles, whichare perfect habitat for rabbits. Heencourages homeowners to fence offvaluable shrub beds using chickenwire that is at least 3 feet tall. "That is 3 feet above the snowlineand tight with the ground.However, it is probably a little lateto begin thinking about fencing atthis point," Ball said. "But, it mightnot be too late to apply some repel-lents during some of the warmerJanuary days." Ball explains that repellentswork one of two ways, either asodor, usually mimicking the odor ofa predator (usually their urine), ortaste/irritation, such as capsaicin(think of hot peppers). Usually repellents based on odorare more effective than taste/irrita-tion but not always, so it neverhurts to experiment a little bit. Finally, Ball says not to live traprabbits.

"No one else wants them eitherand most animals that are releasedin unfamiliar territory have a veryshort life span," Ball said. For more updates and informa-tion on controlling rabbits visit thePest Update athttp://sdda.sd.gov/conservation-forestry/tree-pest-alerts/.

The SDGF&P Commission isproposing two changes to SpecialBuck Deer Licenses for 2013. The proposed changes wouldallow resident hunters to hold ei-ther West River Special Buck orEast River Special Buck tags forany one year, but not both. Special Buck License allocationswould also be based on four percentof the previous year’s allocation ofResident Deer Licenses that in-cluded an “any deer” tag for bothEast River and West River seasons.For 2013, that would be a proposed461 resident and 461 nonresidentWest River Special Buck Licensesand 687 resident East River Spe-cial Buck Licenses.

$500,000 tax dollars to recruit andplace 55 employees with ten SDcompanies. In addition, SD taxpay-ers pay the Wisconsin-based recruit-ing company, Manpower, a $49,000fee each month whether or not thereis a new employee recruited thatmonth. This year alone, SD taxpay-ers have spent an estimated $8,000per job to recruit these workers toour state, not to mention the re-quired match by the private compa-nies making the hire. If thisprogram is to continue, it is onlyright to do a cost-benefit analysisand let those results determine itsfuture.

Providing quality schools is oftencalled the very best tool of economicdevelopment, especially in bringinggrowth to our rural communities.When considering whether to locatein any town, large or small, one ofthe first concerns is the quality ofthe local school system. One studydone by the Federal Reserve Bankin Minneapolis even suggests thatproviding quality pre-schools has adirect correlation to economicgrowth in the community.

Education continues to be thedominant issue of our session. Thenumber of opt-outs now in effect isalarming and proves that the statecontinues to push the obligation tofund our public schools to local tax-payers. This school year 66 of our151 public schools are currently inan opt-out with many more districtslikely to try to pass one if the statecontinues to underfund schools.

The Governor’s Proposed Budgetfor K-12, brought forth by the De-partment of Education to Joint Ap-propriations this week, is a requestfor a 3.0% increase and would raisethe funding formula from $4,491 to$4,625 for an increase of $134 perstudent. (Inflation was actually3.2% but the law says 3% or the rateof inflation, whichever is less). Toput the amount in perspective, the2008-09 per student allocation was$4,642 so the FY14 amount is $17less per student than five years ago!We can and must do better for ourstudents! Please continue to sharewith me your reflections on educa-tion cuts and how it has affectedyour local school.

Greetings from your District 27Senator Jim Bradford. We have justcompleted a very busy third week ofthe session. I’ve served in the SDLegislature for a total of 12 years(eight years in the House and I wasrecently was re-elected to my thirdterm in the Senate). I’m doing mybest to cover those issues which Ibelieve will be of interest to our vot-ers in Bennett, Haakon, Jackson,Pennington and Shannon counties.I serve on both the Senate Healthand Judiciary Committees but I alsopay close attention to what happenson other committees includingtoday when I visited Senate Agricul-ture.

In the Senate Agriculture Com-mittee, Senate Bill 21 was up for avote. It would eliminate the owner-ship inspection for horses and mulesand it passed unanimously. Thecurrent law requires such an inspec-tion because the word “livestock” isin the law. If this law was consis-tently enforced as it is written, youwould be required to show proof ofownership each and every time youentered or left an area where live-stock could be inspected. By chang-ing the word “livestock” to the word“cattle” the brand inspection willnow work as intended. The purposeof the law was to guarantee owner-ship of the cattle before they weretransported or sold.

Two other issues of importance toour District and throughout thestate are economic development andeducation funding.

We all believe in economic devel-opment, but it must be a wise use oftaxpayer’s dollars and lead to trueeconomic growth. Taxpayers de-serve as much “bang for their buck”as possible when it comes to eco-nomic development. One programthat has me concerned is SD Wins.

The SD Wins program was ad-vanced last year through the Gover-nor’s Office of EconomicDevelopment and was establishedwith a $5 million appropriationfrom the General Fund. The goalwas to recruit 1,000 new workersfrom outside of SD for hard-to-filljobs. The cost of the recruitment ofeach employee is split 50/50 be-tween state government and thecompany making the hire.

In the first year of the three-yearprogram, SD Wins has spent

The other Oil and Gas legisla-tion bills are:

*HB 1002 to provide for the cre-ation of a trust account for un-lo-catable mineral interest owners.

*HB 1003 to provide for media-tion between mineral developersand surface owners in certain dis-putes over surface depredation andto provide for mediation of mineralfee disputes.

*HB 1004 to provide for theaward of treble damages in certainsurface depredation cases.

*HB 1005 to require certainposting of information if hydraulicfracture stimulation is performedon oil and gas wells.

*HB 1006 to revise certain pro-visions relating to the terminationof certain mineral interests.

*SB 1 to revise the provisions re-garding plugging and performancebonds for oil and gas wells and torepeal the supplemental restora-tion bond requirement.

In the wake of the tragedy inNewtown and the call for gun con-trol at the federal level, severalbills are being written to improvesafety for schools, protect SecondAmendment rights and other gunlegislation. Rep. Betty Olson, Rep.Scott Craig and Sen. Craig Tieszenare introducing a bill that willallow school boards to authorizecertain individuals the right tocarry inside a school. The proposedlanguage is permissive, givingschool boards the option to approveexceptions to gun-free zones basedon certain conditions, if adopted atthe local level. I’ve heard reports ofother gun bills in the works, buthaven’t seen any of them yet. Thefocus on keeping our children safeand protecting our Second Amend-ment rights brought to mind thisquote by Edmund Burke: “The onlything necessary for evil to triumphis for good men to do nothing.”Hopefully legislators in Pierre canuphold the Constitution, as we aresworn to do, and get somethingdone to protect our citizens.

The Ag and Natural ResourceCommittee met on Wed. HB 1007was introduced by Senator LarryRhoden, District 29. This bill wasan act to restrict the term of con-servation easements. This wouldend perpetual easements andchange it to thirty years. Severalland owners that have perpetualeasements on their land testifiedagainst this bill. As much as Iagreed with parts of the bill it wasabout property owners rights in theend. I voted against this bill and itfailed to make it out of committee.

On Wednesday State Tribal Re-lations Day was held at the CapitalRotunda. The annual event focusedthis year on tribal housing needsand initiatives. State-Tribal Rela-tions Day highlighed the need forhousing on the reservations as wellas the accomplishments of tribalhousing projects and initiatives.This event is designed to providetribal and state leaders with an op-portunity to learn about each otherand to exchange ideas that can leadto improved intergovernmental re-lations. The event began with atribal listening session at theMatthew Training Center at theFoss Building, followed by a wel-come from Gov. Dennis Daugaardand comments by tribal leaders inthe Capitol Rotunda. SissetonWahpeton Oyate tribal singers anddancers provided a live perform-ance in the Rotunda, and lunchwas sponsored by Intertribal BisonCooperative and Lakota ThriftyMart.

In my column last week I re-ported that there would be a billcoming to allow school boards toauthorize sentinel programs. Thisbill in no way was encouragingschool boards to arm teachers withguns, but to allow school baords theopportunity to work with local lawenforcement to train qualified indi-viduals to protect our schools. Theprime sponsor of the bill, Rep. ScottCraig, District 30 introduced HB1087 to the Education Committee.It was standing room only whilethe committee listened to presenta-tions from proponents and oppo-nents. The committee had to deferHB 1087 until Thursday because oftime restraint. On Thursday anamendment was introduced to HB1087 that addressed concerns of op-ponents to the bill. Opponents reit-erated their concerns of local schoolboards having complete controlover the sentinel program. Thisamendment was brought in goodfaith with language that all schoolboards would obtain the approvalof the county sheriff who has juris-diction over the school premises. Italso added language that would re-quire complete sentinel trainingcourse. The vote on the amendmentpassed by one vote. We then wereallowed to move on HB 1087 whichpassed with a 8-7 vote. It now willcome to the house floor for debate.The concern comes from the recentevents at Sandy Hook ElementarySchool in New Town, Conn. I sup-port the bill because of our neigh-bors to the north that are seeinginflux of oil drilling activity. Acrossthe boarder in Montana last yeartwo men that came from the oilfields raped and murdered ateacher on her way to school.

After almost four and a halfyears of applications, environmen-tal studies and hearings, the pro-posed Keystone XL pipeline is stillin limbo and waiting for approval.In the face of rising energy costsand continued reliance on foreignoil supplies, it is time for PresidentObama to finally approve this proj-ect. The American people deserve areliable energy supply that comesfrom American sources. Thatmeans more than just oil, it alsomeans renewable sources such ashydropower and wind. I have andwill continue to support an all-of-the-above American energy policy.In South Dakota, we continue tolead by example by taking advan-tage of our vast wind energy re-sources and by developing newethanol technologies. The Keystone XL pipeline willultimately decrease our depend-ence on unstable sources of energyfrom the Middle East and couldcreate up to 20,000 new Americanjobs. This project continues to re-ceive strong bipartisan support. There’s little, if anything, thatshould be holding the President

back from authorizing the start ofconstruction. Environmental ana-lysts have concluded that there arefew risks to adding the 1,700 milepipeline. Even the nation’s biggestlabor organization stated that theKeystone XL pipeline would allowworkers from all over the UnitedStates to benefit from the project. It’s time for the President andhis administration to get seriousabout our nation’s energy security.This pipeline, once completed, willcarry up to 800,000 barrels of oil aday from western Canada to re-fineries in Texas. The pipeline isshovel ready: easements have beenacquired from over 97 percent oflandowners in South Dakota andall seven pump station sites havebeen purchased. But further prepa-ration cannot proceed without ap-proval from the President. It’s in our nation’s best interestto get this pipeline up and runningas soon as possible. Waiting overfour years for approval is just toolong. I will continue to work to en-sure that South Dakotans areheard loud and clear in Washing-ton.

It’s Time to Approve theKeystone XL Pipeline

By Rep. Kristi Noem

Pending before PresidentObama is a true economic stimulusplan. Unlike the $833 billion stim-ulus bill that was loaded with petprojects and wasteful governmentspending, this stimulus plan is pri-vately funded and would not wastetaxpayer dollars on yet another du-plicative government program. In-stead, this plan would bolsterprivate sector job creation, wouldhelp secure America’s energy fu-ture, and would generate tax rev-enue and stimulate growth inSouth Dakota and throughout thecountry. This pending plan is theapproval of the Keystone XLpipeline. While the benefits of the Key-stone XL pipeline are clear, whatremains unclear is why PresidentObama continues to delay this job-creating, domestic energy-produc-ing project. The pipeline, whichwould run through South Dakota,is expected to create an estimated20,000 jobs, and transport up to anadditional 830,000 barrels of oil perday to U.S. refineries. This $7 bil-lion project would not only stimu-late the American economy, itwould create hundreds of construc-tion jobs and generate new tax rev-enue in South Dakota. Unfortunately, in January of2012, the president decided to playpolitics with this important eco-nomic project. Instead of determin-ing whether to move forward withthe pipeline, the president opted topunt the decision until after the

2012 presidential election, furtherdelaying job creation and energyproduction. On January 22, 2013, NebraskaGovernor Dave Heineman ap-proved a new route through Ne-braska for the Keystone XLpipeline that avoids the environ-mentally sensitive Sandhills re-gion. The new route was approvedafter the Nebraska Department ofEnvironmental Quality determinedthe pipeline would have minimalenvironmental impact on the area. Following the news of GovernorHeineman’s approval, I joined a bi-partisan group of 53 U.S. Senatorson January 23, 2013, in sendinganother letter to President Obamaurging him to approve the Key-stone XL pipeline without delay.The letter encouraged the presi-dent to choose economic develop-ment and American energysecurity, and to cease all further de-lays on the pipeline. After severalpolitical delays and four and a halfyears of environmental reviews, itis time for the president to stick tothe deadline. Unfortunately, it doesnot appear that the Obama Admin-istration’s State Department plansto make a determination regardingthe environmental documents forthis pipeline until this spring orsummer. I will continue to work with mySenate colleagues to push for thisbipartisan project to ensure we con-tinue investing in America’s energyfuture.

Keystone XL Pipeline:A Stimulus Plan America Needs

Opposing testimony was offeredby Orson Ward, Lead, who cited hisvast military training in firearmsand his current position on theLead School Board, said “school isan unforgiving environment” forguns. He noted the “inevitable ac-cidental discharge” of a gun as hisopposition to the bill.

Rob Monson, SuperintendentsAssociation of South Dakota, saideven with the amendment to pro-vide more training for the schoolsentinels, the bill still was not ac-ceptable to schools. Schools haveplans in place for tornadoes, fires,and other situations.

“We plan, prepare and practice,”aid Monson, noting that for thisquestion, “well over 95 percent ofschools have a plan in place andpractice it at least once a year.”

The dialogue on this situation,he said, should include the mentalhealth issue, noting there shouldbe one school counselor for every200 students and “we are nowherenear that.”

The bill, which passed out ofcommittee with a close 8-7 vote,now heads to the House floor, per-haps on Tuesday.

By Elizabeth “Sam” GroszCommunity News Service

An emotionally charged meas-ure that could put armed andtrained guards in schools passedout of committee by one vote lastweek at the S.D. Legislature.

The result of two hearings—overthree hours of discussion--by theHouse Education Committee,HB1087 allows local school boardsthe option of hiring a so-called“school sentinel.” As the bill wasamended before passage Jan. 25,the local county sheriff then mustagree to the board’s plan before thesentinel program moves forward inthe district.

Freshman Representative ScottCraig, R-Rapid City, said the billmay appear unnecessary to largeschools, those that currently can af-ford liaison officers, but this bill al-lows local school boards to maketheir own determination of need.

The current “gun-free zone,”Craig said of schools, “indicates a‘soft target’” for those who intend toharm people.

Rep. Betty Olson, R-Prairie City,spoke to the vast area of Butte,Harding and Perkins Counties inher district, noting it can be “a longway to law enforcement.” Eventhough she as a substitute teacherhas a handgun, she said, she is “not

As preparations continue for theJan. 30 opening of the 2013 filingseason for most taxpayers, the In-ternal Revenue Service announcedthat processing of tax returnsclaiming education credits willbegin by the middle of February. Taxpayers using Form 8863, Ed-ucation Credits, can begin filingtheir tax returns after the IRS up-dates its processing systems. Form8863 is used to claim two highereducation credits -- the AmericanOpportunity Tax Credit and theLifetime Learning Credit. The IRS emphasized that thedelayed start will have no impacton taxpayers claiming other educa-tion-related tax benefits, such asthe tuition and fees deduction andthe student loan interest deduc-tion. People otherwise able to fileand claiming these benefits canstart filing Jan. 30. As it does every year, the IRS re-views and tests its systems in ad-vance of the opening of the tax

season to protect taxpayers fromprocessing errors and refund de-lays. The IRS discovered duringtesting that programming modifi-cations are needed to accuratelyprocess Forms 8863. Filers who areotherwise able to file but use theForm 8863 will be able to file bymid-February. No action needs tobe taken by the taxpayer or theirtax professional. Typically throughthe mid-February period, about 3million tax returns include Form8863, less than a quarter of thosefiled during the year. The IRS remains on track toopen the tax season on Jan. 30 formost taxpayers. The Jan. 30 open-ing includes people claiming thestudent loan interest deduction onthe Form 1040 series or the highereducation tuition or fees on Form8917, Tuition and Fees Deduction.Forms that will be able to be filedlater are listed on IRS.gov. Updated information will beposted on IRS.gov.

Eating a varietyof fruits and vegetables every dayis healthy for you. Individuals’ who eat more gener-ous amounts of vegetables andfruits, as part of a healthy diet, aremore likely to have reduced risk ofchronic diseases, including certaincancers, cardiovascular diseasesand stroke. Fruits and vegetablesare nutrient dense foods that arelow in calories and fat. Eating vegetables and fruits ofdifferent colors provides a widerange of valuable nutrients likefiber, folate, potassium, and vita-mins A and C. Examples includeorange sweet potatoes, greenspinach, black beans, yellow corn,purple plums, red strawberries or

white onions. Try new fruits andvegetables frequently for more va-riety. Easy ways to eat more fruitsand vegetables as part of a healthydiet include: making half yourplate fruits and vegetables, addingyour favorite beans and peas tosalads and low-fat dips, or addfruit to your morning yogurt, ce-real or oatmeal. Instead of havinga tuna salad sandwich, try a scoopof tuna salad on top of a fewtomato slices. Mix vegetables intoyour pasta. When making cannedsoup, add extra frozen veggies.Add cucumbers, peppers, lettuce,tomatoes and/or onion to a cheeseor meat sandwich.

Why Not to Apply Fungicides to Wheat

Over the past several years, fo-liar fungicide application on dryland wheat has gone from a rela-tively rare practice to one thatmany producers consider auto-matic.

There have been positive yieldresponses from many of these ap-plications, and with wheat com-manding competitive marketprices, often positive economic re-turns. The fear of missing out onthese potential yield responses andeconomic returns has undoubtedlyfueled much of the increase in fun-gicide use. The question is, do fo-liar fungicide applications on dryland wheat always pay, and doroutine fungicide applicationscause any harm?

The answer to the first questionis relatively obvious, no; foliar fun-gicide applications do not alwaysproduce sufficient yield increasesto pay for the application. In factthey can produce yield decreases.There are three wheat growthstages where foliar fungicides areapplied, tiller (typically with apost-emerge herbicide applica-tion), flag leaf emergence, andflowering.

Applications at the tilleringstage are only recommended ifwheat is planted into wheatresidue, and only if a post-emergeherbicide application is planned. Ifthe crop is not planted into wheatresidue, the main pathogens ofconcern, septoria leaf blotch andtanspot, are not present in thefield at a level to likely pose amajor threat. Adding the fungicideto the tank when making an herbi-cide application makes the costminimal, increasing the likelihoodof an economic return. Researchtrials have produced no yield re-sponse or negative yield responsesas well as positive yield responses.Yield response is highly dependenton weather conditions followingthe application, and typicallyamounts to only a few Bu/A whenthey occur.

Factors favoring a flag leaf ap-plication are: disease is appearingon flag-1 and/or flag-2, the varietyis susceptible to fungal diseases,the crop has good yield potential,wet weather is forecast, the mar-ket price of wheat is high, and thecost of the fungicide application islow. Flowering time applicationsare mainly justified if scab risk ishigh, and do offer protection fromlate-season rusts if they move upfrom the south. Flag leaf and flow-ering time fungicide applicationseither involve aerial application, ordamaging a small percentage ofthe crop if application is made byground equipment, both of whichamount to considerably more inputcost than a tillering application.

To be effective, tillering, flagleaf and flowering time fungicideapplications all need to be madebefore the infestation of diseasebecomes severe. In order to makegood decisions, fields must bescouted and the factors favoring ayield response considered. If yieldpotential is limited due to hail,winterkill, bacterial or viral dis-ease, drought or other reasons, thepotential return to a fungicide ap-plication is reduced.

The question, can routine fungi-cide applications cause harm is notas obvious. There are beneficialfungi present in any crop field aswell as harmful species. Thesefungi can be helpful in feeding onbacteria, aphids, and possiblyother harmful pests, and fungi-cides will control them as well asthe harmful fungi. Each chemicalapplication that is made to a cropweakens the protective layer of theleaves, making the plant more sus-ceptible to moisture stress and tobacterial disease. Microbial activ-ity in the soil is desirable, andfungicides are known to reduce it.Fungicide application decisions

should not be taken lightly.Calendar
