Caring and Sharing Cancer

Walk successful in third yearThere was a gentle breeze and

warm sunshine on the morning ofSaturday, June 15, 2013 as volun-teers, walkers, and supportersgathered at the track for the Third

Registered attendees had theopportunity to win a variety ofdoor prizes which had been donat-ed. At the conclusion of the walk,the winners of the raffle of two

beautifully handmade quilts weredrawn. These quilts were madeand donated by past recipients ofsupport and financial assistancefrom Jones County Caring andSharing. One quilt was won by

Lisa Kinsley; the other was won byRose Elrod.

When asked why they volun-teered for this walk, one partici-pant said, I walk to honor thememory of my family and friendswho have lost their battles withcancer.

Not Always So Bad!

by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

Have you heard the story of Honus? Honus was a wicked old renegade who lived in a s mall country town. When he died his body lay in the funeral par-

lor for three days without anyone even taking notice. Finally, on the day of the burial, a few of his old cronies did stop by to at least pay their respects.

As they gathered, the funeral director said: Now fellows, we cant bury Honus like a dog. Weve got to have some kind of service for him. Wont some-

body here take charge? But the silence was profound, so finally the funeral director himself agreed to take charge.

He began by asking whether there wasnt someone who had some good word to say for Honus before they buried him. Again there was a deep silence,

until finally one old man stood up and said: Well, I can say this much for Honus; he wasnt always as bad as he sometimes was.

To be honest, isnt this true of all of us? Some people take offense at Rom. 3:22,23, which says: For there is no difference, for all have sinned and come

short of the glory of God. They think there is a difference, and that they have not been as sinful as others. Ah, but while there may be a difference in the

nature or the degree of our sins, Romans 3 is right when it says that there is no difference in this: that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

A person may put up a good front, feeling that he is not nearly so great a sinner as others, but whether a bridge is ten feet or a hundred feet short of span-

ning the chasm, it is still useless, so dont try crossing it.

This is why we all need the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of [God's] grace (Eph. 1:7). And we may have this by trusting in the Christ whodied for our sins (1 Cor. 15:3). For by grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (Eph. 2:8).

But they all alike began to

make excuses.... (Luke 14:18a)

How is your summer going so

far? Going well, I hope! In a few

days the calendar will declare

that its officially summer.

Have you included God and the

worship of God in your summer

plans? Yes? No? What?

If the church youre attendingis anything like the churches

where I am a pastor, there will be

the usual summer worship

attendance slump. The worship

of God may not be on the minds

or hearts of very many folks

these days. Many seem to think

God is only present in church

from September through May,

the time when the kids are in

school. Thats sad! How soon we

forget God, once the outside tem-

peratures are over 70 degrees.

You might be saying to yourself,

Well, the pastor takes a vaca-

tion, why cant we? Im not criti-

cizing your summer vacation.

My question and the question my

colleagues in ministry have for

you is this, Have you included

God in your summer plans? I

know that while Im on vacation,

I make every effort to find a

church where I can worship God

with other believers. Besides, I

might make some new friends. A

commitment (not to a religion but

to a relationship) to follow Jesus

Christ is the key!

We most certainly will commit

ourselves and our families to out-

door summer activities that have

nothing to do whatsoever with

God, and then we follow up with

all kinds of excuses as to why

summer keeps us away from God

and the life of the church. Some-

times we forget about our tithe to

God and the church because

financially weve over-extended

ourselves having too much sum-

mer fun.

Perhaps what we need locally

are faith-focused, Christianbased activities during the sum-

mer. Perhaps our churches need

to get more involved in your sum-

mer activities so that you become

more active and involved in the

life of the church the whole year.

My brother-in-law has suggested

that perhaps there needs to be

more church-sponsored softball

teams. Not a bad idea.

Jesus told the parable of the

Great Dinner. The invitations

went out. One person made the

excuse that hed bought a piece of

land and after he bought it, he

needed to go out to see it. Anoth-

er person bought a yoke of oxen

(today it would be a new tractor,

pickup, car, piece of machinery)

and wanted to try them out.

Another person just got married,

and he sent his regrets, too.

Excuses! The invitation was sent.

Those who were invited and who

probably needed the Great Din-

ner the most, rejected the invita-

tion. The Master of the Great

Dinner sends his slave out into

the streets and lanes to invite the

poor, the crippled, the blind, and

the lame to the Great Dinner.

Why? Because, they know the

Master, Jesus, best. The Great

Dinner is a foretaste of the Great

Heavenly Banquet one day with

Jesus.

The Great Dinner is also about

communing with the Lord right

now, by receiving His body and

His blood with other believers in

a house of worship.

Are you active? Inactive? No

church at all? We arent here to

judge you, but to help you grow inyour faith and to love you into

the kingdom of God. We are not

talking about organized religion

here. Being a good United

Methodist, Roman Catholic,

Lutheran, or Community Bible

Church member wont get you

into heaven. Denominational

names dont cut it with God.

Good works, being a good person,

saying the right prayers or doing

the proper rituals or li turgy does-

nt count where God is concerned

either. Even the Pharisees

(Jesus strongest critics) did all

those things in Jesus day and it

didnt help them. God wants you

to get right with Him. The only

way to do that is through the sav-

ing cleansing blood of Jesus

Christ. You need to have a rela-

tionship with Jesus say Yes

to Him. You need to get out of

your comfort zone and decide to

follow Jesus Christ and what

that all means. By being hot or

cold at least Jesus Christ will

know where you stand and

whether you accept Him or reject

Him. Just dont be a lukewarm

Christian. My prayer is that you

become hot and committed to

Jesus Christ. Its up to you!

Over $5.6 million announced for31 SD counties, including Jones

U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) announced that the Depart-ment of the Interior has designat-ed over $5.6 million in 2013 Pay-ment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) pro-gram payments to 31 counties inSouth Dakota. The PILT programprovides funding to local govern-ments for public schools, countyroad projects, firefighting andpolice protections, forest manage-ment projects and other importantprograms in counties with largetracts of federal lands.

South Dakotas Black HillsNational Forest, national grass-lands and national parks aretremendous assets to our state,but they are not part of the localproperty tax base, Johnson said.The PILT program ensures thatthese communities have addition-al resources to support localschools, county roads and other

services people rely on. I have longsupported fully funding the PILTprogram to aid counties in SouthDakota in funding essential publicservices, and I will continue work-ing with my colleagues to addlong-term certainty to this vital

program.Eligibility for the PILT program

is reserved for counties that con-tain non-taxable federal landswithin their boundaries. Thisfunding is especially important inSouth Dakota, which is home toseveral national monuments,parks, national forests and nation-al grasslands.

Since 2008, PILT has been fully-funded, first under the EmergencyEconomic Stabilization Act of 2008and this year under the Moving

Ahead for Progress in the 21stCentury Act. Mandatory fundingdiscontinues at the end of this fis-cal year. If mandatory funding isnot extended, the program will besubject to annual appropriations,which could result in a much lowerfunding level for these vital publicservices.

For the 2013 fiscal year, Jones

County will receive $47,098, calcu-lated as a result of 19,557 acres offederal land.

A full list of funding by stateand county is available athttp://www.doi.gov/pilt/county-payments.cfm

Youth In Action Day resultsThe final results are in from the

2013 4-H Youth In Action Day. Inaddition to the Iron Chef Contest,Demonstrations, Illustrated Talksand Public Speaking reported ear-lier, 4-Hers participated in a Con-sumer Decision Making contestwhere they were asked to rank

consumer products one throughfour and give reasons for the waythey placed those products.

The ability to make wise deci-sions is a vital 21st Century learn-ing skill. Decision making is animportant life skill that young peo-ple need to develop for use in indi-vidual decision making as well asin making decisions in groups.

The classes presented for judg-ing at the Jones County Youth In

GFP emphasizing boating safetyLocals participate inOmaha Color Run

Summer baseball league in full swing with loaded schedule

Caring and Sharing fundraising walk continued...

With the approach of the Fourthof July Holiday, the South DakotaGame, Fish and Parks Depart-ment is joining a national effort tohighlight boating safety.

Operation Dry Water will takeplace June 28-30, and is a nationalweekend promoting boating safetyand responsible use of alcoholwhile boating.

Approximately 17 percent of allboating fatalities nationwide arealcohol-related. As part of thenational event, GFP will be con-ducting extra boating safetypatrols across the state to promotesafe and responsible boating prac-tices heading into the Fourth ofJuly holiday.

Our conservation officers con-duct these safety patrols through-out the year, Brandon Gust, GFPboating safety coordinator, said.As we move into the peak boatingseason, we feel we can use ourpresence to share the messagethat safety is an essential elementof any boating experience.

Having a safe and sober opera-tor is always a critical part of boat-ing but Gust added there are otheritems to account for as well.

Before heading onto the water,check your equipment, he said.Fire extinguishers, life jackets,throwable seat cushions and otherequipment must be in good work-ing condition. The best way to pre-

vent an unwanted tragedy on thewater is to be prepared.

The majority of boats in SouthDakota are required to carry:

One U.S. Coast Guard-approvedwearable, properly sized person-able flotation device for each per-son aboard. One U.S. CoastGuard-approved throwable typeflotation device (seat cushion orring buoy) for vessels 16 feet or

longer. One U.S. Coast Guard-approved fire extinguisher of B-1type or larger for vessels withenclosed gas compartments.

Gust noted that state regula-tions require all children underage seven to wear an approvedpersonal flotation device anytimea boat is moving at greater thanno-wake speed. He recommendstaking the next step and keeping apersonal flotation device on alloccupants in the boat at all times.

If boaters are uncertain whatsafety equipment they arerequired to have onboard, Gust

suggests that they pick up a copyof the South Dakota BoatingHandbook at the nearest GFPOffice, state park, GFP-licenseoutlet or by going online ath t t p : / / g f p . s d . g o v / f i s h i n g -boating/boating/

Boating is all about having fun.Our boating safety patrols have asecondary role of law enforce-ment, Gust said. Our primarygoal is to share the message withthe boating public that safety isthe most important factor to a funouting. We want everyone to havean enjoyable boating season.

SDSU Extension Wheat Walks

SDSU Extension held a series of

Wheat Walks June 11 and 12 near

Delmont, Ideal, Dakota Lakes

Research Farm and Gettysburg,

SD. These events were partially

funded by the South Dakota

Wheat Commission, with contribu-

tions from Agland Coop, Winner

Seed, Simplot Soil Builders, Coun-

try Pride Coop, AgriPro Wheat and

Northern Plains Coop. Farm Cred-

it of Pierre also attended one of the

walks and provided refreshments.

Altogether, approximate ly 80

producers, agronomists, crop con-

sultants and chemical representa-

tives attended the events and

gained information on wheat pro-

duction. SDSU Extension Special-

ists contributing to the program

included Nathan Mueller, Exten-

sion Agronomist, Ruth Beck,

Agronomy Field Speciali st,

Emmanuel Byamukama, Exten-

sion Plant Pathologist, Bob Fan-

ning, Plant Pathology Field Spe-

cialist, Connie Strunk, PlantPathology Field Specialist, Ada

Szczepaniec, Extension Entomolo-

gist, Ron Gelderman, Extension

Soils Specialist, Darrell Deneke,

IPM Coordinator, and Mark

Rosenberg, Weeds Field Specialist.

Dwayne Beck, Manager of the

Dakota Lakes Research Farm,

hosted the event at that location,

and Randy Englund, Executive

Director of the South Dakota

Wheat Commission attended each

of the walks and provided a report

from the Wheat Commission. Clair

Stymiest, from AgriPro Wheat

attended the walk at the Dakota

Lakes Research Farm and provid-

ed information on the AgriPro pro-

gram and the varieties they have

to offer.

Attendees received a wealth of

information from the Extensionpersonnel and others involved,

were provided with a large offering

of handout material, and given the

opportunity to interact with the

specialists present to get their

questions answered.

While a large number of winter

wheat acres were abandoned in

the spring of 2013, spring rains

transformed the remaining fields,

and the majority of spring wheat

fields into respectable condition.

Emmanuel Byamukama found low

levels of tanspot in the fields visit-

ed, and reported that while both

leaf and stripe rust have been

found in Nebraska, they had yet to

move north and have not been

reported in South Dakota. Produc-

ers will want to be on the lookout

for rust and can visit the Cereal

Disease Laboratory website:

www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?

docid=9757 to monitor its

progress. Growers who have wheat

planted into corn, wheat, grain

sorghum or millet residue will also

want to monitor their risk for scab,

and can periodically visit the

Fusarium Head Blight Prediction

Center: www.wheatscab.psu.edu/

to do so. A few fields near where

the wheat walks were held had

some level of wheat streak mosaic

virus.

Cutworms had not posed a prob-lem for winter wheat in 2013,

aphids were currently present but

in low numbers, and the grasshop-

per risk for this year is low to mod-

erate. Research trials are also

being conducted to evaluate vari-

ous new fertility products that

have come on the market in recent

years such as ESN. The big issue

in the weeds area is herbicide

resistance and the efforts being

directed to develop control options.

For the next opportunity to gain

information on wheat production,

igrow.org and watch for upcoming

crop tours across the state.

with ketchup which landed on my

shirt. The messy French fry par-

ticularly irritated me so I renewed

my resolve to pay attention. That

seemed to work and the droppage

stopped for the most part except

that we tend to always fumble and

lose hold of a few things from time

to time and just accept it as nor-

mal.

I occasionally have to tell myself

to shape up in other areas as well.

When Im playing hymns for con-gregational singing at church and

hit more sour notes than usual, I

quickly realize that I havent been

practicing enough. If you dont

practice regularly, there gets to be

a glitch in coordination of eye on

the music, brain in motion, and

finger agility. The only remedy is

to get in more practice time so I

make a mental note to do that and

usually follow through with it.

Some things, however, you are

never going to be any good at no

matter how much you scold your-

self. My memory for names is a

case in point. I can be introduced

to someone and not remember

their name five minutes later. Its

a hopeless deal. Whats worse, no

one will be able to judge if Im

going senile by my lack of memory

for names. Ive never had any so it

isnt apt to get a lot worse. Shoot,

sometimes under pressure I have

trouble remembering my wifes

name. With certain people, Ive

had to resort to all sorts of mental

gymnastics and word pictures to

dredge up their names. For some

reason, I could never remember

the name of Spinsby until I start-

ed thinking of their mailbox with

a bee sitting on top running a

spinning wheela spinning bee,

so to speak. Thats continues to

work. Another name that has

given me trouble is Stillwell. I

remember that by thinking of that

fellow looking down a well and

stating that the water is quiet, or

still, down there. Good grief.

Luckily, most times you dont need

to say names. You can just say,

Hi. How are you doing? without

using the actual moniker of theperson youre talking to. Introduc-

tions can still be a torment, but

greetings can be simple and non-

descript.

There are other times when you

just have to re-familiarize your-

self with an idea or concept due to

lack of recent usage. I have this

happen every year when we sell a

bull or two and I need to record

the sale on my books. Normally,

when you sell a critter, you just

debit cash and credit sales. When

you sell something youve depreci-

ated, though, you have to do it dif-ferently. It takes four entries

including cash, bull inventory,

reserve for depreciation, and gain

on a fixed asset. This used to give

me real fits, but Ive done it

enough times now that, after a

moment or two, it usually comes

to me how to proceed. If it doesnt,

I can always look on last years

books and see how I did it then.

Another area we often have

trouble with is worry. When you or

a loved one has health problems,

cash is running out faster than

the bills, you need rain and it isnt

coming etc., worry can set in and

make you miserable. After Ive

stewed around for a while and got-

ten all tense, I finally see what Im

doing and ask myself, And why

arent you praying about this

instead of working yourself into

some kind of state? After all, the

apostle Peter reminds us to Cast

all your cares upon Him because

He cares for you. This is sterling

advice which makes worry a com-

pletely pointless and unnecessary

endeavor. Whats more, God not

only cares what happens to us but

also has the power and ability to

change things so they will come

out okay. He looks after us if we

just trust him. Ive seen it happen

time and again, but I still occa-

sionally have to sternly counsel

myself to quit fussing and start

praying.

So, if you find yourself lacking in

an area and having trouble, some-

times you just need to remind

yourself to shape up and get a

grip. Alternately, you can pray,

which isnt a bad idea either. It

tends to work for me anyway.Give it a try. It will probably work

for you too.

I was a little afraid last Sunday

that I might be losing my grip.

No, I dont mean that way. Im not

talking about losing my grip on

reality or, that is to say, my mind.

Im talking about my ability to

keep a firm hold on things with

my hands. At the church hall, I

dropped a metal cake-pan lid

which made quite a clatter. A bit

later I dropped an empty cake

pan. Whats going on? I asked

myself. Pay attention to whatyoure doing. I started paying

attention after that so I didnt

drop anything else for a while.

The next day, though, I was back

at it. A plastic lid went flying one

time, a mushroom another, and

worst of all, a French fry loaded

by Del BartlesAccording to the South Dakota

Attorney Generals office, as ofMonday morning there is no foulplay suspected in the death of aPhilip man.

Zane George Nelson, 28, son ofDennis Nelson and Diana Olivier,

According to Sara Rabern, pub-lic information officer with the

Attorney Generals office, there isno foul play expected. A full autop-

sy is being conducted by the state.The body was first discovered

by a citizen. The incident was ini-tially investigated by personnelfrom the Philip City Police,Haakon County Sheriffs Depart-ment and the South DakotaDepartment of Criminal Investiga-

As far as the cause of death, wedont have a clue as of yet, saidPhilip Police Chief Kit Graham.We have a lot more questionsthan we do answers, but thatscommon. Its going to take time.

Services for Nelson are pendingwith Rush Funeral Home. A fullobituary will be published.

by Del BartelsThe seventh annual Philip Invi-

tational Matched Bronc Ride, Fri-day, June 14, was again a successby almost everyones standards.

The Philip roping arena was thesite of 25 top Professional RodeoCowboys Association cowboys try-ing to survive three progressive

rounds of bronc riding to take topwinnings.

With 50 of the best, or up-and-coming, broncs available, theaction was hot, unpredictable andunforgettable. Livestock compa-nies supplying the broncs wereThree Hills Rodeo of Bernard,Iowa, Korkow Rodeo of Pierre,S.D., and Burns Rodeo of Laramie,Wyo.

The first round of the bronc ridewas full of crowd-pleasing highscores. Cole Elshere, Faith, toppedthe pack with 81 on Bandito Gold.Jesse Bail, Camp Crook, earned 79points on top of Satin Sheets. RyanElshere (pictured right), ElmSprings, spirited 78 points withGrey Ghost. Ty Thompson, Wan-blee, rode Diamond Trail and J.J.Elshere, Hereford, rode StormWarning, both for 77. JeremyMeeks, Alzada, played Jukebox

and Louie Brunson, Interior, rodea reride option horse, both for 76points. Troy Crowser, Whitewood,

stayed on Sweetheart and DelbertShorty Garrett, Dupree, stayedon Kosheese to both earn 74points. Getting 73 points each,Jade Blackwell, Rapid City, stuckto Boogers Pet and Kaden Deal,Red Scaffold, held on to ChromePlated. Dawson Jandreau, Ken-nebec, made the cut in order to gointo the second round by ridingHarry Mary for 71 points.

The progressive round pitted the12 remaining cowboys against up-and-coming livestock that may besomewhat green, but have energyand possibilities to go far in thebucking bronc arena. J. Elsherestayed on top and rode a wild-bucking Blind Date for 79 points.Bail went Haywire for 77. ColeElshere hung all over Screwdriverand Ryan Elshere survived Morn-

ing After, both for 76 points. Gar-rett put his score of 75 in DixieCup. Making the cut to move on tothe short go was Jandreau, earn-ing 74 points on a reride option.

In the final round of only sixcowboys, J. Elshere could not stayon, but went out with a Blaze ofGlory. Garrett rode Paint Chip for75 points, but found that even thisrespectfully high score could nothold up with this caliber of broncriders. Jandreau kept on his BigWig and Cole Elshere did it Span-ish Style, both for 78 points each,but even this high of a score wasntgood enough. Bail and Bull Frogtogether scored 79, only to also bebeat out. Ryan Elshere stayed tiedto the bucking bronc Fraid Knot toearn 80 points and the top title forthe 2013 Philip InvitationalMatched Bronc Ride.

The Clinical View Dr. P.E. Hoffsten

The previous three columns inthis series of seven devoted tostress management laid the basicsof stress talk psychology. The con-cept is that what you say out loudis instantaneously stated in yourown mind before you say it out

loud.Dr. Herman Witte recognizedthat there seemed to be a series ofself talks that people with poorstress management techniquesused repeatedly. He first lecturedabout the basic irrational self talk,it upsets me. For a number ofreasons previously discussed, itupsets me gives away self controland places control with it. Plac-ing control of your actions with itleads to very ineffective stressmanagement.

He subsequently delineatedgeneral irrational self talks onethrough six, the first two of whichhave already been presented inthe previous columns. The firstgeneral irrational self had to dowith demandedness and how thisgenerates resistance in other peo-ple. The second irrational self talkhad to do with helplessness andlack of understanding. The nextgeneral irrational talk numberthree has to do with horrib-lizaition.

Inflation is a property of humanbehavior. It is a very human trait

to exaggerate what one is describ-ing. Examples might include theperformance of a grandchild or thesize of the fish that got away.These are trivial harmless exam-ples. But if we are talking aboutstressful events, the exaggeration

tends to be negative. Most impor-tantly, since a self-talk is said qui-etly internally before the wordsare ever spoken out loud, the exag-gerated adjectives used will moldthe feelings the person has. Thisleads to self talks such as:

1. It was a horrible storm. (Mayreally be only 2 inches of snow).

2. He is a terrible drunk.3. This is so bad I cant stand it.

(In fact you are already standingit.)

4. I cant cope with this divorce,I am falling apart. (The divorcemay be horrible but I have neverexperienced a person actuallyfalling apart).

This type of language begins aschildren. Their vocabulary is limit-ed and children tend to view situa-tions as black or white, yes or no,best or worse. If they hear this lan-guage from their parents itbecomes even more inbedded. Inaddition, as we grow up, we hearabout events in other people. If wehave never experienced the eventthat they are talking about andthey place a horribilizing adjective

in front of it, the event becomessomething to dread even though itmay only be a two inch snowstorm.We hear about horrible bullys,dangerous accidents, the heart-break of psoriasis, the horriblemigraine headaches and the pain

of childbirth. Granted that some ofthese events do have extreme con-siderations, but when events havea horrible-izing adjective in frontof the word the event becomes hor-rible. This is called attachingemotional value to the event bythe words we use to describe it.Note this habit takes control awayfrom the person and shapes theresponse to the event.

The fact is the words we use todescribe an event will shape howwe react to it. A fatal or paralyzingautomobile accident is horrible butdropping a carton of milk on thefloor and having it burst is not hor-rible. It may be inconvenient,wasteful, or damaging to propertybut it is not horrible.

The self defeating aspect of hor-ribilizaiton is that it tends toimmobilize the person. If the eventis horrible or you cant stand it,some degree of inaction will follow.If something is horrible, then theperson experiencing it will requiresoothing attention. This leads to adependent attitude. Bodily achesand pains tend to be amplified.Preoccupation with bodily percep-tions leads to a decreased scope ofinterest as one ruminates about anevent. Coping skills are aban-doned just when they are neededmost.

Dr. Witte offered as an alterna-tive, a group of self talks wherebythe individual appropriatelygrades the importance of an eventavoiding attaching intrinsic emo-tional value to an event. This leadsto more constructive self talk suchas:

1. I feel this is just too bad (mildnegative response).

2. I feel very disappointed overthis event (moderate negativeresponse).

3. I feel very sad over this event(strongly negative response).

4. I feel serious concern evenfear over what is or has been hap-pening but my feelings are myown. I know that my stomach willnot be turned inside out, that myheart will not be broken and myhead wont split open because ofthe emotions that I have over anevent.

5. I may not do as well as Iwould like but I will handle (stand,tolerate, endure) what is about tohappen. I will be in control of me.

As an exercise, think about a timewhen you had a bad streeful expe-rience and see how the followingself-talks apply to your responsethen:

1. It upsets me (Basic irra-tional self-talk).

2. He should not do that (Gen-eral irrational self-talk #1).

3. I do not understand why hedoes that. (General irrationalself-talk #2).

4. It is horrible. (General irra-tional self-talk #3).

The mission of the South Dako-ta Department of Veterans Affairsis to serve the over 75,000 veter-ans residing in South Dakota in allmatters pertaining to veteransbenefits. This responsibility fallsinto two basic tasks: informingveterans and their families abouttheir benefits and directly assist-ing and advising veterans and

their families in securing the ben-efits to which they are entitled.Advocating with purpose and

passion for South Dakota veter-ans, our team is at the forefront ofthe most demanding challengesconfronting our states veterans,whether they are veterans fromthe World War II generation, theKorean War, Vietnam, the ColdWar, or veterans who most recent-ly served in support of OperationEnduring Freedom, OperationIraqi Freedom, or Operation NewDawn.

According to the VAs FY 2012Summary of Expenditures, SouthDakota veterans receive morethan $489.2 million annually inmedical, compensation, education,and pension benefits. Although

this number is impressive, thereare many eligible veterans inSouth Dakota who are not takingadvantage of the many benefitsavailable to them.

This month we are encouragingall veterans to verify that theyhave utilized all the educationalopportunities afforded to them.

As the State Approving Agency,

the South Dakota Department ofVeterans Affairs is responsible forapproving and supervising pro-grams in South Dakotas universi-ties and technical schools as wellas the on-the job training andapprenticeship programs.

Currently South Dakota has140 veterans participating in theOJT/Apprenticeship programs andover 2,500 veterans using GI Billbenefits for college and technicalschools. But that number can andshould grow. OJT programsinclude such positions as apprais-ers, funeral directors, police offi-cers, correctional officers, electri-cians, plumbers, parts technicians,mechanics, IT specialists, radiotechnicians, fire fighters, welders,chefs, and many more.

We encourage all veterans tomake sure that they have utilizedtheir education benefits.

For more information regardingyour educational benefits and theprograms available to you, weencourage you to contact ouredu-cation team at (605.773.3269).

State reminds of LabelingLaw for fuel pumpsState officials are reminding

consumers and gasoline retailersthat the 2013 South Dakota Legis-lature passed a law limiting where85 octane fuel may be sold andrequiring cautionary labels onpumps.

The law, which took effect inMarch when signed by GovernorDennis Daugaard, requires thatpumps selling 85 octane fuel carrya warning label that says: Thisoctane level may not meet mini-mum manufacturer specifications.Consult your owners manualbefore fueling.

The same law limits the sale of85 octane fuel to nine westernSouth Dakota counties. Gasolinesold in all other parts of the state

must have a minimum octane rat-ing of 87. Many engine manufac-turers recommend a minimum of87 octane fuel.

The Legislature recognizedthat 85 octane fuel has been mar-keted for decades in the westernpart of South Dakota, said TrevorJones, Secretary of the Depart-ment of Public Safety. The lawcontinues to allow sale of thatproduct in nine counties. However,the law also says the proper warn-ing label must be conspicuouslyplaced on the pumps. This is areminder to both consumers tocheck the labels and for retailersto know and follow the law.

The law allows the sale of 85octane fuel with proper labeling in

Butte, Custer, Fall River, Harding,Lawrence, Meade, Pennington,Perkins and Shannon counties.The sale of 85 octane in SouthDakota is prohibited outside ofthese counties.
