The Monday, April 8 schoolboard meeting, held at 8 p.m., wasbrief and to the point.
Those in attendance included:Larry Ball, Lorrie Esmay, BrettNix, Chad Whitney, Carrie Lolley,JayTee Sealey, Ashley Geigle,Cheryl Iversen and Karlee Moore.
The board gathered before themeeting at 7:30 p.m. to reviewscholarship applications.
The agenda and bills wereapproved, as well as minutes forspecial meetings on March 25,April 2, April 3, and April 4.
Gary Knispel was not on handto present a financial report, buthad submitted one previously,which was approved.
The board made a motion toapprove Resolution #355, whichwould authorize membership inthe South Dakota High SchoolAthletes Association for the 2013-2014 school year.
Next on the agenda was amotion to offer 2013-2014 con-tracts to certified staff at the 2012-2013 rate. This motion was tableduntil a special meeting that was
scheduled for Wednesday, April10.
Next, the board approved amotion to withdraw from ThreeRiver Special Services BenefitGroup, effective June 30, 2013.The district will still be part ofThree Rivers; however, they willnot be participating in the healthinsurance program.
The board approved an openenrollment request, then dis-cussed a Homeland Security walkthrough that was scheduled forWednesday, April 17. HomelandSecurity will provide recommenda-tions, and the walk through willmake the school eligible for addi-tional grants for security itemssuch as door buzzers and doorcameras. Esmay said of thesesecurity measures, “It will besomething that we’ll be lookingat.”
Next, the board turned itsattention to the discussion items.The 2013-2014 calendar was againdiscussed. Nix asked if havingsemester tests before Christmasbreak worked this year. Ball saidthat it worked very well, since theJones County Invitational tourna-
ment is always scheduled soonafter school resumes in January.Having semester tests during theweek of the tournament was diffi-cult for students and staff alike.
Ball then brought up the recent-ly passed Sentinel Bill. Ball toldthe board that it is something thatthey should think about anddecide what they want to do, ifanything.
Nix asked if anyone had anysuggestions, but the issue did nothave any additional discussion.
Ball said that he had recentlycontacted other schools that offerexercise facilities to the public andhad asked for copies of waiver andpolicies for their facilities.
He said he would like the boardto make a decision on policy issuesbefore school is out. He recom-mended that everyone wishing touse the facility be issued a keycard, and the doors should be keptlocked at all times, especially dur-ing school hours.
Ball then said that the schoolboard election will be held onTuesday, June 4. The meetingthen entered executive session at8:30 p.m.
Thune inducted into South
Dakota Sports Hall of FameSouth Dakota 4-H looks for host families
The 4-H Youth Exchange pro-grams provide youth with theopportunity to reach their fullpotential as future leaders in com-munities, as well as, in the work-place, says Suzanne Geppert,SDSU Extension 4-H Youth Part-nerships Field Specialist.
“Exchanges mobilize volunteersand communities to meet theneeds of youth by creating non-for-mal, educational opportunities tohelp youth thrive in a complex andchanging world; allowing them toproblem solve and plan throughvarious life skill developmentopportunities utilizing the 4-HGuiding Principles,” she said.“These life skills can be developedeven further by allowing our youthto advance their practices in anInternational Exchange.”
Geppert explains that state andcounty exchanges are basically aseries of learning experiences inwhich 4-H members visit thehomes and communities of 4-Hmembers in another geographicallocation, and then receives visitorsin return. Counties usually host agroup one year and return the visitthe following year.
4-H also provides its memberswith the opportunity to travelinternationally. Alan Lambert,South Dakota 4-H InternationalPrograms Volunteer Coordinator,manages the exchanges whichinclude delegates travellingabroad, inbound exchangees andthe host families needed for homestays.
Lambert says host families arecurrently being sought for onemonth 4-H InternationalExchange Programs. CurrentlyLambert is seeking host familiesfor 24 teens from Japan; ages 12-16. The teens will be staying withlocal families as part of a two-wayexchange program sponsoredthrough 4-H and the JapaneseLABO organization.
“The Japanese youth comeeager to live our everyday life and
make friends that will last a life-time,” Lambert said.
The exchangees will stay withtheir South Dakota host familiesfrom July 22, 2013 to August 18.The program accepts host familieswith children of the same genderand about the same age. Familieswithout children in this age rangeare encouraged to host an adultchaperone for two weeks.
“Families do not need to beinvolved in 4-H to host, they justneed a willingness to share theirhome and world,” Lambert said.
The Japanese LABO Exchange,in cooperation with 4-H Interna-
tional Exchange Programs, is oneof the largest exchange programsinvolving North American andJapanese youth in the world. Sinceit began in 1972, more than 40,000students have stayed with familiesin 39 states including South Dako-ta, and more than 6,300 youthhave lived with host families inJapan.
There is no need to know theJapanese language. The studentshave been studying English, andare anxious to use it.
“The program gives host fami-lies a chance to share their cul-ture, friendship and family life
with an exchange student, and atthe same time learn about Japan-ese life. The home stays last only amonth, but the effects last a life-time,” he said.
Information and host familyapplications about the programare available by contacting a local4-H leader, county extension officeor through the South Dakota 4-HLeaders website: http://www.southdakota4hleaders.com/page_14.html.

Venard has been working forFeld Motor Sports for seven years,and has been working with Ander-son for four of those years. He
graduated from WyoTech in 2006and started his career in monstertrucks shortly after.
When asked what inspired himto start working with monstertrucks, Venard said, “It startedwith me mud racing around here(Murdo) to going out a limb andsending in a resume.”
This is a great accomplishmentfor Venard, as two years ago, hewasn’t sure he would ever be ableto work as a monster truck techni-cian again. Venard was involved inan ATV accident in December of
2010, which resulted in the loss ofpart of his left leg. He said, “Twoyears ago, I didn’t know if I wasgoing to be able to keep workingmy job, and now I have a champi-onship under my belt.”
Venard sat out the 2011 racingseason, returning in April for the2011 World Finals in Las Vegasfor his first show with his new leg.

Venard said his favorite showthis year was in St. Louis, Mo. Hesaid, “The crowd made me feel likea kid. We did well and the crowdlet us know it.” He said it was hisfirst time there, and it was excit-ing.

The Teaching Of Self-esteemby Pastor Paul M. Sadler
Scripture Reading: “Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince [refute] the gain-sayers.” — Titus 1:9
Satan never rests in his insatiable desire to corrupt the Word of God. A case in point is the present-day teaching of self-love, self-esteem and self-worth. The influ-ence of this unsound doctrine has nearly permeated every strata of Christendom, including the Grace Movement. Like the beat of a drum, this theme is heard almostconstantly from the pulpits of America and frequently appears on the pages of Christian literature. Beware when you hear or read: “It is important to feel good aboutyourself,” “Learn to love yourself,” “Probe your innermost self to understand why you think and feel as you do,” “God sent His son to die for you because you areof great value.”
On the surface these phrases may seem commendable, but in reality they are diametrically opposed to the Scriptures. The above has been weighed in the balanceand found to be wanting. For example: “The heart [innermost self]is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jer. 17:9). Paul concurredwhen he said, “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh, [old nature or self]) dwelleth no good thing” (Rom. 7:18).
The old man (self) is at enmity against God. He hates God and the things of God and left to himself he will not seek God. The Scriptures, from beginning to end,speak with a unified voice that the old nature is rotten to the core (See Rom. 3:9-18).
Consequently, our old man (self) has been crucified with Christ. Paul made reference to this when he wrote to the Galatians, “I am crucified with Christ [i.e. hisold man]: nevertheless I live [Paul's new nature]; yet NOT I [self], but Christ liveth in me.” We are to put off the old nature and put on the new, which is created inholiness and righteousness (Eph. 4:22-24). It is futile to improve one’s self- image, especially since God abhors any attempt to do so. Rather, we are to conform our-selves to the image of His dear Son. Thus, those of the household of faith are to live accordingly:
“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let us esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, butevery man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:3-5).
Self takes great pleasure in acclaim, indulgence, approval and praise. It glories in all these things. But are we not robbing God when self is esteemed more high-ly than His glory?
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN? For ye are boughtwith a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (I Cor. 6:19,20).
Shall we permit the “love of one’s self” doctrine to overshadow the love of God in Christ Jesus? God forbid! May God help us to stand against this insidious teach-ing that essentially robs God of the glory that is rightfully due Him.
Two minutes with the bible
“O worship the King, all glorious
above,O gratefully sing God’s power
and God’s love; our Shield and
Defender the Ancient of Days,pavil-
ioned in splendor, and girded with
praise.” (words by Robert Grant)
Having a deep, committed and
lasting faith in God, and in the one
God sent to save us from our sins,
the Lord Jesus Christ, is becoming
rare in these modern times. We have
become spoiled and selfish, letting
the world dictate who we worship.
Some of us just cannot find the time
to “worship the King.”
You and I have time for every-
thing else in today’s world — school,
work, sports, bars, casinos, family
and friends, TV, internet, iPods,
iPads, Nooks, Kindles, cell-phones,
smart phones, texting, etc. We listen
to the world, why don’t we listen to
God? Jesus says that we are choos-
ing the “broad road that leads to
destruction [and not] the narrow
road that leads to life.” It all comes
down to having a vibrant and active
faith. That’ll happen when we redi-
rect our priorities, placing God in
first place instead of last place (or no
place). We cannot be whole and com-
plete people until we are healthy in
“body, mind, and spirit.” Know that
when we pray, God still accepts our
“knee-mail.”
To have an active and vibrant
faith means “work.” Along with
“work” comes “growth.” Pentecost
will soon be here. Pentecost begins
May 19 and goes through Sunday,
November 24. Perhaps growth in our
faith journeys during Pentecost will
cause us to make “spiritual growth”
a daily habit all year.
Why do we adults encourage
youth to attend secular camps in the
summer but don’t encourage youth
to attend church camps, or a mission
trip? In our communities, why do we
encourage our youth and one anoth-
er to get involved with everything
else over the summer except church
activities?
Instead of asking ourselves how
we are going to occupy our time with
more stuff, let’s step back for a
moment and ask ourselves, “How
are we going to occupy our time with
what God wants us to do, and still
have time for the other stuff?”
Our churches have many
resources which you can tap into so
that you will not only experience
spiritual “growth” as you “work”
on your faith journey, but you will
also find ways in which you can
have a “committed” life of faith.
The church can also help you to
redirect your priorities so you will
still be able to work or go to school
and still do some of those things
you love as well. Just remember to
place God first. Hear these words
from Jesus Christ: “Love the Lord
your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all
your mind and with all your
strength. The second is this: ‘Love
your neighbor as yourself’” (Mark
12:30-31). And, the apostle Paul,
who loved the sports of running
and boxing, wrote these words to a
young Timothy about getting pri-
orities straight and always placing
God first: “For physical training is
of some value, but godliness has
value for all things, holding prom-
ise for both the present life and the
life to come” (1Timothy 4:8).
Worshiping God is your number
one appointment every Sunday
and nothing else worldly is more
important to take God’s place.
God’s blessings to you all during
this Easter season.

Math and science interests lead Montoya to choose School of Mines for future schoolingBy Paige Venard
Sleeping, fishing, shopping,hanging out with friends andworking out top Melissa’s favoriteslist. Melissa Montoya Mairena isthe daughter of Kerry MelissaMairena Roghair and CurtisRoghair; she has one older sisterMaria Fernanda Montoya.
Throughout her high schoolcareer she was involved in choir,basketball, track, National HonorSociety and the AcademicOlympics. Her favorite sport issoccer but since she moved toMurdo she has been unable to playit.
She doesn’t have a favorite food,but she will eat anything thatlooks delicious. Her favorite song
is “Pasarela” by Daddy Yankee.While her favorite TV show as akid was True Lies, she now enjoyswatching scary movies and come-dies. Her favorite subject is sci-ence. “My favorite holiday isChristmas because I like havingfamily gatherings together, eatinggood food and opening the pres-ents.”
Her favorite color is blue, andyou will find her wearing comfort-able clothing; she prefers qualityover brand names. The Glass Cas-tle is her favorite book. She wantsto meet Josh Duhamel because heis an awesome actor and good look-ing.
“I admire my mother; she hasworked hard throughout her whole
life, and I am who I am todaybecause of her.” Choosing amongbeing popular, accomplishingsomething, or being organized, sheresponded with “Accomplishingsomething. Being popular is notimportant to me at all. If I have todo something, I do it myself; noone else is going to do my work forme. I know that being organized isimportant to accomplishing some-thing.”
Montoya gets angry when peo-ple lie and are disrespectful; she isalso angered by people who startrumors. She is afraid of failing andnot being able to finish college forsome unexpected reason.
She has no major regrets,“What is done, is done, the bestthing to do is forget and move on.”The biggest lesson she has learnedthus far is from her mom: be per-sistent and not give up with yourfirst mistake. She values her fam-ily and friends the most because“nobody can get very far in lifewithout a strong support system
consisting of their loved ones.”If Montoya were granted three
wishes, she would ask for food andshelter for the poor, being healthyfor the rest of her life and livingsuccessfully. If she could be what-ever she wanted she would be adog for one day, because she hasalways wondered what goes on intheir minds and thinks it wouldhelp her to understand animalsbetter.
Among fame, money and power,fame is the least important to herbecause she doesn’t need to befamous to be able to make moneyor have the power to control some-thing. “I don’t need fame at all, Ineed money to live, and if I havemoney, I have some power.”
Montoya would advise youngerclassmen to “live in the presentand always give your best effort.Don’t waste your time; it goes byway too fast.” She considers herbiggest achievement this far in herhigh school career as not failingany classes. “It’s nice to know that
one more chapter of my life isdone, and that I will be on my ownnow.”
After graduation she is going tomiss the people she went to schoolwith because she is going to a col-lege that nobody else in her classwill be attending. She won’t beable to see them as much as shewants to. Her favorite memories ofhigh school include meeting newpeople and becoming friends withthem. “The best part about being asenior is knowing that I will bemoving out soon and will be able toexplore the world on my own andmake my own decisions. I think Iam ready to face the world.”
After high school Montoya willattend South Dakota School ofMines and Technology to major inChemical Engineering. In tenyears she finds herself living inRapid City or Sioux Falls usingher major and living in a nice mod-ern home and adopting some kids.She wants to be able to start herown business someday.

Mathews, Volmer elected to region offices at State Student Council Convention
By Paige VenardFinding your story and what
you love to do was the topic ofinterest at the 26th Annual StateStudent Council Convention at theRamkota RiverCentre in PierreMarch 24-26. Jane Daum alongwith Josh Daum, Philip Mathews,Wyatt Walker, Cody Hight, WyattHespe, Jackson Volmer, PaigeVenard, Madison Mathews,Rachel Buxcel, Kalli Hespe, TanaVolmer and Calli Glaze attendedthe convention.
They arrived in Pierre SundayMarch 24 to “Tune into Leader-ship” which was the convention’stheme. During the opening ses-sion, the members met the 2013state board and then RashaanDavis, a social studies teacherfrom Colorado spoke about how tomake student council better. Healso spoke about building trust,accountability and followingthrough. He gave the advisors aCD with programs and strategiesto make their councils better.
After the keynote speakers thestudents dispersed to work on“Project Warm-Up.” Each localcouncil brought fleece material to
the convention and the studentsput together tie blankets for localwomen and children’s shelters.After the project was finished, 86blankets had been made. Cam-paigning for state offices began asa wrap up for the first night.
“DJ Your Destiny” was thetheme for Monday, where KyleScheele from Springfield, Mis-souri, talked about finding whoyou are and what story you wantto live. Finding out what you loveto do and what you are good atdoing maybe difficult, but heencouraged everyone to try newthings and find your story. If youcan dream it doesn’t mean you cando it. He stressed that somedreams are not realistic and thatyou may have to give up on them.He used being able to deflect a bul-let with his hand as his dreamfrom his childhood, but thosedreams are not realistic. Hethought the saying “if you candream it you can achieve it” wasjust a lie. He didn’t try to discour-age people from chasing theirdreams, but they should keepthem realistic.
During Monday afternoon stu-
dents attended Showcase work-shops: Passion, Just Dance,Dress for Success, Communica-tion, Communication and Candyand Peer Pressure. Many newideas from the workshops could beused to benefit schools and thestudent’s needs.

Book & Thimble Club hosts Senior Girls Mother and Daughter Tea on stormy night
By Nicki KellThe Murdo Book & Thimble
Club hosted the Senior GirlsMother/Daughter Tea on Monday,April 8 and what an exciting timeit was. The expected snow stormworried some of the mothers fromout of town, but everyone made itthere safely.
The first game the group playedwas “the name game,” where eachperson was given a name tag and abag of pennies. The rules of thegame were that you had to calleach other by the name given onyour name tag or you owed thatperson a penny, but if a personcalled you by your real name, thenthey owed you a penny. The per-son with the most pennies won.
The names were very interest-ing: Janna Glaze was “HoneyBuns”, Melissa Montoya was“Angel Cake”, Paige Venard was“Silly Goose,” Becky Bryan was“Hot Lips,” Emiley Nies was“Honey Bee” and I was “AngelFace.” “Mom!” was commonlyheard, followed by an “Oops!” asone of the girls would have to giveup a penny.
Paige Venard said, “The namegame was fun and I enjoyed play-ing the games and activities.”The next challenge involved hula-hooping, where the mothers andtheir daughters competed to seewho could hula-hoop the longest.The daughters won, of course. Oneof the hula-hoops was smaller andcontained water and the largerhad a tendency to pop apart onoccasion.
The next challenge pitted thegirls against their mothers as theyeach blew up a long balloon andthen let it go, hoping that it wouldland in the hula-hoop lying on thefloor between the two. Finally, thejudges decided that if the balloonwould even touch the hula-hoopthat it would count. That’s an indi-cation of how difficult a challengethe balloon contest became. Evengetting the balloons blown up wastough for the contestants.
Becky Bryan said that herfavorite part was “Balloon fighting
and the hula-hoop contest, alongwith all six of us girls fitting intothe tiny hula-hoop.” It took somestrange gyrations to accomplishthe feat.
The Book & Thimble ladies alsoprovided finger foods and dessertsabout which Emiley Nies said,“The desserts were really good.”As mementos of the evening, thegirls received scented scrubbies in
their class color of lime green anda blue and lime green jewelry bagsewn and decorated with little jew-els by Bessie Roghair, Melissa’sgrandmother.
The night was very eventful andeveryone overall enjoyed them-selves. Janna Glaze said, “It wasfun bonding and made me realizehow much I’ll miss the girls nextyear.”
Thank you!On behalf of the Jones County Students the Journalism Class would like to give a huge thank you to
the PTO for hosting the post prom party and the community for all of their donations. The students
really enjoyed it and appreciate all of the hard work that went into the event.

First of its kind, prom features neon colors, balloons and loud music for night of fun
By Paige VenardThink orange, green, yellow,
pink and purple, then add the ele-ment of glowing neon and youbegin to get the essence of the Jun-ior/Senior Prom and Banquet host-ed at 6 p.m. by the juniors on Fri-day, April 12 in the transformedMurdo Auditorium.
To achieve the effect, the jun-iors strung black, silver and pur-ple gossamer along the north walland used it to highlight the neonpainted NEON NIGHTS on a darkblue background paper. Studentsused neon paints splashed againstthe paper along with a few hand-prints to create the glowing signonce the black lights began toburn. Guests sat on the south sidebleachers for a change of view dur-ing the Grand March. FreshmanGarline Boni said “I thought thedecorations turned out awesomeand everything fit together well.”
Along with the gossamer andglowing paints, the juniors, withsome additional help in the form ofparents and friends, blew up hun-dreds of balloons in the matchingneon colors which were then used
at the top of columns and to createthe ceiling. Sloping wires created acircus-like ceiling when the bal-loons were attached to the wires.
In order to create a smashingentrance for the Grand March, theclass built an arch in white whichwas also splashed with the neonpaints as were the columns. Sever-al neon paper wrapped milk cratescreated a spot to display jars of col-ored water with glow sticks addingan eerie light to the evening.
For the banquet the class cov-ered both round and long tableswith neon colored table cloths andused the colored jars of light ascenter pieces. Junior mothers pre-pared the meal of ham and turkeysandwiches along with a choice ofeither taco or potato soup and icecream with strawberry or choco-late topping to round out the meal.
Dressed in neon shirts withglow sticks as necklaces, promservers Rachel Buxcel, CarolDrayer, Allison Green, ConnorVenard, Dylan Kinsley and WyattWeber delivered the food anddrinks to the guests. CodyHullinger entertained the guestswith three numbers as he accom-
panied himself on guitar. PastorRick Hazen gave the invocationafter class presidents GreydonShangreaux and Wyatt Hespegave the welcome and response.
Guest speaker Gary Knispelshared 10 main points to a suc-cessful life, one of which includedtaking time to smell the roses. Heeven brought a beautiful rose tomake his point. He also encour-aged students to stop using somuch technology and actually goand do different things. GreydonShangreaux read the seniorprophecies only to find out thatmost of the class will have a suc-cessful life and most of the girlswill be marrying cowboys. WyattHespe gave thank-you’s and con-cluded the banquet.
After the banquet, students anddates got changed for the GrandMarch at 9 p.m., 35 coupleswalked out in formal outfits.After the DJ kicked out the par-ents and spectators, the dancebegan with the dancers doingsome choreographed dances thatthe kids knew and the Harlemshake. Connor Venard and CarolDrayer had a dance off, and Dray-
er won by doing a move and thendropping into the splits.
The dance ended at 12:30 a.m.and post-prom began at the minigym. The PTO rented a hugeobstacle course that many kidsenjoyed. You could tell becausekids had marks and burns on theirskin from going down the slide.The usual games were also playedlike plinko, darts, black jack andWheel of Fortune. Kids earnedmoney throughout the night/morn-ing to buy prizes donated by thecommunity.
Dana Trethaway won a futonfrom the freshman class; KalliHespe won a mini fridge alongwith Travis Grablander for thesophomore and junior class prizes.The seniors had two prizes, amicrowave won by Becky Bryanand a George Forman grill won byPaige Venard. The fun ended at 5a.m. when students traveled hometo sleep for the rest of the morningand day. Senior Wyatt Walkersaid, “The best memories from myproms would be freshman and sen-ior proms. I enjoyed taking pic-tures before banquet, the banquetand post prom was lots of fun.”

WHAT IS USPSTF?
In 1984, the Department ofHealth of the United States Gov-ernment elected to organize andsupport an agency to advise us onpreventive medicine. Until thattime, the United States Health-care system had devoted itself tothe detection and care of disease.Note this is different from disease“prevention.” The classical Ameri-can (and South Dakotan) examplewas the 55-year-old man who “hadabsolutely nothing wrong withhim.” But some of these men (andwomen) had a sudden unexpectedheart attack. Forty percent ofthese people died immediatelynever making it to the hospital.Sixty percent survived but endedup with a huge medical bill. Withthe delusion of invincibility, mostSouth Dakotans don’t know whattheir blood pressure, cholesterol,blood sugar or cigarettes are doingto them. If the person survivedtheir heart attack, they spent therest of their life with less heartmuscle, decreased stamina, andeventual heart failure. Conserva-tive estimates indicate that 80 per-cent of the two trillion dollars wespend on healthcare is spent forneglect of preventable conditionsor self-inflicted disease such ascigarette, alcohol and drug abuseproblems.
By the 1980’s, concepts of pre-vention of disease as opposed to
early detection were to be the con-sideration of a new group calledthe United States PreventativeServices Task Force (USPSTF).This was a group of 16 healthcareproviders who were felt to beexperts in the field of medicine. Itwas their job to evaluate informa-tion available and make sugges-tions on which practices werevaluable and which ones were notin regard to prevention of disease.Now, nearly 30 years later, whenour healthcare system consumes16 percent of our gross domesticproduct, their role is even moreimportant than in the past.
There are many things in oursociety that are just obviously truebut the USPSTF has the job ana-lyzing these obvious truths anddeciding are they really true and isthere evidence to support them.When they make suggestions tothe contrary of current practice,the TV and news media give themunmerciful grief, and oftenridicule the decisions made. Butthis task force is merely analyzingthe information available to decideif these supposed “truths” are sup-ported by evidence. The most con-troversial decision they maderecently was a suggestion thatwomen age 50-70 have screeningmammography done every twoyears instead of every year. Obvi-ously, this would cut the cost of thescreening procedure in half. TheUSPSTF Committee did not find
any evidence that this wouldincrease morbidity or mortalityfrom breast cancer. They, in addi-tion, suggested that beginningmammography before age 50 wasan individual consideration butnot recommended except in specialsituations where there is a highincidence of breast cancer in afamily. Those of you who followthe media and television newsservice may remember the stormthat came with these suggestions.
For those who are interested,the USPSTF recommendations formore than a hundred conditionsare contained on the internet.Many of these are very controver-sial and some make perfect sense.A recent publication in theArchives of Internal Medicinestudied the effect of an individualhaving an annual health exam. Itis just logical to believe, that thoseindividuals who see a healthcareprovider once a year to reviewmedications, health status, andsuggestions for avoidance of prob-lems do better than those individ-uals who do not see a healthcareprovider once a year. And yet anevaluation of over 200 thousandpeople, some of whom had had anexam done annually and some whohad not showed no difference inthe mortality or morbidity in thetwo groups. The conclusion wasthat opened ended annual healthexams really do not save lives.
Whether you agree with the USPreventative Services Task Forcerecommendations or not, their rec-ommendations are going toincreasingly become the basisupon which insurance andMedicare expenses will be paid. Ithas not happened much yet butquietly, slowly services that arethat USPSTF finds not to be bene-ficial to the general public willceased to be paid for by insuranceclaims.

Recent storms amount to 2 to 3 inches in moisture
This week’s spring stormbrought welcome moisture to theentire state, which certainly willbe a positive step toward droughtrelief. SDSU Extension ClimateField Specialist, Laura Edwardsreports snow totals of 20 to 25inches or more from Rapid Citytowards Pine Ridge.
“Snowfall totals are in the teensaround Pierre to Winner and overto about Miller, that central partof the state. Up in Aberdeenthere’s about 6-inches of snowwhich fell primarily Wednesdaynight and Thursday,” Edwardssaid. “The Sioux Falls areareceived about 8-inches of snow.”
Edwards says the moistureequivalent of this storm is project-ed at approximately 3-inches inthe southeast corner of the state.The 20-to 25-inch snows in thesouthwest should amount to2-inches or more of moisture. Lesseramounts of moisture fell to thenorth.
Edwards says this fantasticmoisture will be reflected to somedegree in next week’s U.S.Drought Monitor map, which will
be released Thursday, April 18.Soil temperatures were mostlyabove freezing except for north-eastern parts of the state, whichwill allow for moisture to enter thesoil profile.
While the moisture has beenhelpful, Edwards reports thestorm has been challenging forlivestock producers in the midst ofcalving and lambing. TheAberdeen national weather serviceoffers a resource on its websitecalled the cold advisory for new-born livestock, view at http://www.crh.noaa.gov/abr/canl/forecasts.php.
“They have an indicator therethat combines wind chill, tempera-ture and moisture. They put thatall together as a watch or warningalert system for newborn live-stock,” she said.
Edwards notes the weather isexpected to remain unsettledacross the state for the comingweek with another moisture sys-tem moving in for the weekendthrough next Wednesday.

against ranching wasn’t much of acontest though. The rural life waswhat I wanted and what I chose.I have no regrets about that.
I guess I never really set out tochoose good friends. I was justnaturally drawn to those who hadinterests similar to mine. Since Iwasn’t exactly a party animal,neither were my friends. Theyjust were those I somehow cameto know and like.
Relatives, of course, you can’tchoose randomly. You’re justborn with them. In some cases,that is just fine. Take my AuntBessie, for example. She was mymom’s sister from California anda real sweetheart. We got onextremely well together, and Ieven stayed with her for severalmonths when I was stationed inCalifornia during my time in theNavy. Other relatives were most-ly okay although a few were mar-ginal. You couldn’t disown them,exactly, but you could choose howmuch to associate with them.
Choosing business associates isalso tricky. I have taken in cattlefor people who just plain drove menuts. They were never quite sat-isfied with your care of their live-stock. If there wasn’t anythingreally wrong, they’d complain thatthe salt licks were getting lowalthough they hadn’t really runout yet. Other guys would neverquite live up to their part of thedeal concerning payment for serv-ices rendered etc. Then there arethose who just never give you anytrouble and work out great. Thelatter is what we currently have,thank goodness.
But, you know, we can only doour best. If we do that, we are aptto have few regrets. We can lookat products or situations, thinkabout them, maybe do a bit ofresearch, give ourselves sometime and not rush, pray a little,and hope for the best. I recentlydid some of that concerning thepurchase of a bag of oranges.They looked and felt okay, weremoderately priced, and subse-quently came home with me.Now is crunch time. Guess I’ll gosqueeze one or two and have someorange juice. It may be great orless so, but at least it will remindme of my dear old mama whosqueezed a lot of oranges in herlife for love of little old me. That’sworth quite a lot.
Not all oranges are createdequal. I learned this early in lifesince my mother thought I shouldstart each day with a glass offresh-squeezed orange juice. Shefigured it would be helpful in pro-moting my health and well-beingor some such thing. Most daysthis was fine. Other days, not somuch.
For one thing, not all orangesare naturally sweet and tasty.Some are a bit sour or dull. Thenthere are those that have so muchpulp you almost need to eat thejuice with a spoon instead ofdrinking it. Others have so manyof those tiny little seeds that youare unlikely to get them all outshort of using a strainer. Thishasn’t changed much over theyears, and buying oranges is stilla tricky business. You’re neverquite sure what you’re getting.
That situation is similar in buy-ing lots of other things. Applesare easier than oranges, but youstill occasionally get “lemons.”Bananas, though, seem to all befairly much the same. One ispretty much like anotheralthough eating them at just theright degree of ripeness can behard to schedule. Meat, though,is often tough, literally, and hardto figure out. One knows thatround steak is always going toneed good strong teeth if you don’tcook it a long time, but othersteaks vary a lot concerning ten-derness and flavor.
That’s one of the difficult thingsabout life—trying to make wisedecisions. This not only applies tothings you buy, but to what you doto support yourself, what friendsto have, and lots of other things.I didn’t have much trouble choos-ing an occupation since I wasraised on a ranch and was theonly son. My dad basically want-ed me to take over when I grewup, and that was fine with me. Idid have a chance to go on andmake a career as an officer in theNavy since, to keep me from leav-ing when my time was up, theydangled a tasty carrot in front ofme. This had to do with the prom-ise of being assigned to the staff ofa really weird admiral who wasconsidered the father of the mod-ern nuclear navy. It would proba-bly have been a real plus in myrecord and a stepping stone tohigher rank. Weighing that
Lookin’ Around• Syd Iwan •
Cropping Choices and Water
Use Relationships
The precipitation from the
recent snow storm provided wel-
come relief in terms of soil mois-
ture. Standing stubble certainly
showed its value as fields with
stubble caught a uniform layer of
snow that will help replenish dry
soils with an inch or more of valu-
able moisture.
Depending on what moisture is
received over the next month or so,
farmers may be wise to consider
the water/yield relationship for
various crops as they are making
planting decisions this spring. The
USDA-Agricultural Research
Service has conducted research
exploring the moisture needed to
produce the first bushel of grain
and the bushels per inch of mois-
ture for various crops. This infor-
mation can be highly valuable
when making cropping decisions
when moisture is limited.
Corn is very efficient in using
water as it can produce just over
10 bushels per additional acre
inch, but also requires just over 9
inches of water to produce the first
bushel. Grain sorghum, or milo, is
also relatively efficient in produc-
ing bushels once the initial
requirement is met, at 9 bushels
per additional acre inch, but takes
only 6.5 inches to produce the first
bushel. That is why grain sorghum
has historically been a popular
crop in marginal rainfall areas.
Grain sorghum lost some popular-
ity in the 1990’s, partially due to a
volcano eruption that resulted in
cool summers for several years,
above average rainfall during the
same period of time (which favored
corn production), and improved
drought tolerance in corn hybrids.
Summer temperatures have
returned to higher levels in more
recent years, and the uncertainty
of rainfall may bring resurgence in
the interest in sorghum.
Sunflower requires slightly more
water to produce the first
bushel/pound of grain than
sorghum at 6.9 inches, and fewer
equivalent bushels (6.3) per inch of
additional water. Sunflower is
marketed on a different price per
unit structure than corn and
sorghum, so it’s not directly com-
parable on a bushel/pound basis
regarding yield.
Wheat, millet and soybean are
fairly similar in both their water
requirement to produce initial
grain yield and efficiency in
bushels per additional acre inch of
water. To produce the first unit of
grain, wheat requires 5.2 inches,
millet 3.5 inches, and soybean 3.7
inches. With each additional inch
of moisture, wheat will produce
about 4.7 bushels, millet 4.2
bushels, and soybean 3 bushels.
Again, the price per bushel of each
crop varies, and if one were to
evaluate each crop fairly regarding
water use efficiency, this would
need to be taken into account.
According to this research, field
peas are a remarkable crop in that
they require less than 1 inch of
water to produce grain. They can
produce 3 bushels of grain for each
additional inch of moisture.
These numbers are not exact and
each crop will perform best if mois-
ture is available at the right time
and suffer if it is short at a critical
time, like corn at pollination and
soybeans at flowering.
This information could prove
valuable as producers are making
cropping plans while they watch
the skies and weather reports for
more precipitation, which will be
necessary for a successful growing
season.

Black Hills Tourism sendssoap to Global Soap Project
On Wednesday, April 17, BlackHills & Badlands Tourism Associ-ation will ship three pallets ofused soap to the Atlanta facilitiesof The Global Soap Project.
Last May, Association Presi-dent Nort Johnson introducedBlack Hills Bubbles for Humanity,a public service program that col-lects used soap from area accom-modations for recycling into newbars for distribution to impover-ished communities around theworld. T h eGlobal Soap Project was foundedin 2009 by Derreck Kayongo. Kay-ongo’s simple idea was to takesome of the 3 million bars of soapthrown away each day by hotels,make new soap and distribute it toimpoverished communities around
the world. The Hills-wide Bubbles pro-
gram helps save thousands of livesby providing soap to impoverishedcommunities around the world.The Association’s member hotels,motels, B&Bs, campgrounds andother accommodation providersgather used soap from guestrooms. The soap is processed anddelivered to places where a lack ofbasic sanitation can cause unnec-essary outbreaks of disease andeven death. Providing soap is asimple, effective way to protectfamilies and save lives.
In fact, Kayongo’s Global SoapProject fulfills two worthy goals:diverting waste from landfills andproviding soap to fight disease.More information is at www.glob-
Notice to grain sellers and grain buyers
On April 4, 2013, Circuit JudgeTony L. Portra issued a rulingoverturning one of the SouthDakota Public Utilities Commis-sion’s findings in the matter of theAnderson Seed Co., Inc. grainbuyer bond.
The commission ruled in sup-port of staff’s findings that pur-suant to SDCL 49-45-9 Martin-maas Dairy should not be eligibleto participate in the bond proceedsbecause its entire claim amountwas subject to the terms of a vol-untary credit sale (VCS) contract.Martinmaas Dairy challenged thePUC ruling based on the fact thatit had not signed the VCS contractthat was prepared to memorializethe agreement to defer payment.In finding Martinmaas Dairy hadentered into a VSC contract, theCommission relied on SDCL 57A-2-201, which provides exceptionsto the signature requirement for
contracts for the sale of grain, aswell as the sworn testimony ofRaymond Martinmaas that he didintend to defer payment.
When the PUC presented rec-ommendations for the disburse-ment of the bond to the 5th Judi-cial Circuit Court on March 19,2013, Raymond Martinmaasappeared on behalf of MartinmaasDairy and asked the court to over-turn the PUC’s findings withrespect to the Martinmaas Dairyclaim. The court found, pursuantto SDCL 49-45-11 and ARSD20:10:12:13, that a VCS contract isnot enforceable unless signed byboth parties.
Therefore, going forward allgrain purchases more than 30days old will be considered cashsales that must be paid pursuantto SDCL 49-45-10 unless the grainbuyer has in its possession a VCScontract signed by both parties.

Grassland drought persists, NRCS drought planning help available
In 2012, drought conditionsimpacted a majority of SouthDakota (SD) grasslands. Manypeople felt the effects in the condi-tion of grassland, livestock condi-tions, and in their agriculturaloperations. The United StatesDepartment of Agriculture(USDA) Natural Resources Con-servation Service (NRCS) in SouthDakota (SD) developed and uti-lizes a tool to assess drought condi-tions using local precipitation datato model impacts to grazing landsproduction. The SD NRCSDrought Tool uses long-term (30-50 year) and short-term precipita-tion including data from HighPlains Regional Climate Centerand the SD State University(SDSU) state climatologist.
With our understanding of his-toric impacts to grassland condi-tion and production, we get a
clearer understanding of 2012drought impacts on grassland.
Understanding current droughtconditions stirs difficult questions:
•How will the 2012 droughtimpact the upcoming 2013 grow-ing season?
•What will it take for grass-lands to recover from drought?
Our current grassland droughtconditions reflect the effects ofboth precipitation and soil mois-ture deficits originating in 2012.Using current drought conditionsin conjunction with historic aver-age long-term data, we can projectfuture grazing land productionacross SD. South Dakota grass-lands typically reach peak produc-tion by early July. This data isused to predict the potential peakforage production.
Will we experience grasslanddrought in 2013? Even with aver-
age “normal” precipitationamounts and the right timing, theanswer for most of S.D. is yes.Recovery from current droughtconditions depends on soil mois-ture recharge, precipitation tim-ing, and precipitation amounts.Moisture infiltration to the soilprofile is needed to get out of thedrought status. Unfortunately,high intensity, short lived precipi-tation (intense spring thunder-storms) typically results in morerunoff than infiltration. Having ahealthy reserve and diversity offorage will enable optimal grass-land infiltration by slowing runoffand maintaining a soil structurethat maximizes precipitationavailability.
The SD Drought Tool can calcu-late the monthly precipitationneeded to recover from droughtimpacts using the critical precipi-
tation months of April, May, andJune. If you have your own precip-itation records, they should be thebest data source when using theSD Drought Tool. The table belowincludes examples of minimumprecipitation amounts in a sam-pling of counties to return to “nor-mal” forage production conditions.
With new understandings of cli-mate and soil-water-plant rela-tionships, we are finding new abil-ities to assess and plan for grass-land drought. Now is the time tohave plans in place for 2013drought conditions. Your localNRCS staff can help with droughtplanning for grassland and crop-land resources.
