honored at meeting

by Del Bartels Philip, a one-third partner of thecontinuing Stronger Economies To-gether project, hosted the Wednes-day, January 9, multi-communitysession. The first meeting, in December,was held in Kadoka. The thirdmeeting, in February, will be heldin Wall. Attendees are still con-tributing toward a growing kitty ofpossible names for this specificSET region. Made up of HaakonCounty, Jackson County and theeastern portion of PenningtonCounty, the economic partnershipcould vote to be called the Bad-lands/ Bad River Region, WesternPlains Region, Central Plains Con-nection, Old West Region or someother name that was in the sugges-tion jar. This two-year federal program iscurrently in its third round. Thetwo-year program’s first year is thecreation of an economic plan for agiven region. The second year is forthe “fun work” of putting that planinto action. After a supper social provided bythe Philip Chamber of Commerce,the attendees of this session fo-cused on three main topics. Thefirst point discussed was the cur-rent demographics of this region,not only what they look like todaybut what they are projected to looklike in the future. It was stressedby speaker Dr. David Olson, com-munity development program di-rector, and video-taped Dr. MichaelMcCurry, state demographer, thatprojections, even from the CensusBureau and other fact-basedsources, can change. HaakonCounty has been losing populationfor years. Currently, over 20 per-cent of its population is over 65years of age. Communicable dis-eases, such as whooping cough andothers, have been diminishing,

while degenerative diseases, suchas cancer and those associated withold age, have been increasing. InHaakon County, the average in-come has increased, yet the num-ber of people considered under thepoverty line has also increased.Things can change. The second main topic was an at-tempt to determine what makes astrong region, particularly this re-gion. Differences between thePhilip, Kadoka and Wall communi-ties are numerous. The similaritiescan be used to strengthen theirpartnership. The third main topic was an ex-amination of existing economic de-velopment plans in the region. Oneof these was a new idea promotedby residents from the Kadoka area.Several plans were revisited plansfrom Horizons meetings held in theindividual communities from previ-ous years.

Kari O’Neil, community develop-ment field specialist, stated thatthe kickoff session produced somegreat thoughts on how this regioncan gain a competitive advantageby working together, pooling re-sources and building relationships.As the sessions move forward, at-tendees are to invite those diverseand committed people they knowwho would be assets to this group.The only real requirement is anopenness to this process and a pas-sion for this region. The Philip session discussed theCreation, Attraction, Retention,Expansion model. Communitiescan grow from the creation of newbusinesses, from the attraction ofnew industry or businesses, fromthe retention and strengthening ofexisting businesses, and from theexpansion of existing firms in theregion.

BankWesthas also utilized a USDA Rural De-velopment Community FacilitiesLoan Guarantee to develop essen-tial community facilities in thearea. “President Obama is committedto strengthening rural communi-ties,” said Elsie Meeks, SouthDakota USDA Rural DevelopmentState Director. “By working withprivate lenders throughout thestate, USDA Rural Development isable to increase investment capitaland assist communities and localorganizations build a strong busi-ness infrastructure to nurture eco-nomic growth.” USDA Rural Development pro-vided a $296,200 Business and In-dustry Loan Guarantee for BankWest, Inc. that, through leveraging,assisted a local business. This proj-ect is expected to retain 16 jobs inthe local community. “Working with programs like theB&I Guaranteed Loan Program tohelp improve local economies andcreate opportunities for local citi-zens is a natural partnership forBankWest,” said BankWest VicePresident/Sr. Ag Officer GaryAmbur. “Helping area customersand communities achieve financialsuccess is the most important andrewarding aspect of communitybanking.” In Fiscal Year 2012, USDARural Development Business & In-dustry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan pro-gram made available $33.2 millionthat, through leveraging $128 mil-lion, assisted nine businesses. The purpose of the B&I Guaran-teed Loan Program is to improve,develop, or finance business, indus-try, and employment and improve

the economic and environmentalclimate in rural communities. Thispurpose is achieved by bolsteringthe existing private credit struc-ture through the guarantee of qual-ity loans which will provide lastingcommunity benefits.

South Dakota Rural Water Associ-ation and Jake Fitzgerald of WestRiver/Lyman-Jones to discusswater options.

There was no action take onhaving a meeting.

However, a motion carried to ap-prove the contract contingent onreceipt of written complianceguidelines.

Other than plowing snow,Patrick Solon said he is working oncompiling information for potentialstreet projects for the year 2013.He will present more informationat the next meeting.

Dick Stolley said he’d received aphone call regarding the city plow-ing alleys.

The city alley ordinance readsthat unless it’s a commercial alley,it is up to the residents to take care

of alley work. Commercial alleysinclude those next to Main Streetand along the Kadoka NursingHome. Any other snow plowingwould be done to allow access tofuel or propane delivery.

Stolley also noted that the year-end inventory was done at the citybar on January 3.

The council reviewed a 2013commercial service contract fromTruGreen for lawn and tree care forthe softball fields and city park.The contract amount was for$3,831.25.

A motion carried approve thecontract and lock the prices in for athree-year period, if payments canbe made yearly.

The next regular meeting will beheld on Monday, February 11 at7:00 p.m.

Brad Jorgensen called the regu-lar meeting of the Kadoka CityCouncil to order on Monday, Janu-ary 14. Absent was Mayor HarryWeller and Kieth Prang.

A motion carried to combine thecity election on April 9, 2013 withthe school election.

Bob Fugate addressed the coun-cil regarding the sound system atthe auditorium.

For a $700 fee, Mid States Audio& Video will readjust the currentsound system and look for deadspots.

Fugate said KCBA, Horizonsand the Kadoka Music Parentshave agreed to help by paying $100each. He asked that the city pay$200 and with the school paying anadditional $200, there would beenough money to get Mid Stateshere to look at the system.

He said the school had askedthat board member Dale Chris-tensen be there when Mid Stateslooks at the system. In addition,Fugate asked that Colby Shuck at-tend as well.

A motion carried to give $200 to-ward checking the sound system.

Under the water/sewer reportNathan Riggins said they hadmoved a water line west of Dis-count Fuel.

Riggins also presented a con-tract from Maguire Iron, Inc. forwater tower work which would in-clude sandblasting and applyingtwo coats of epoxy to the interior ofthe downtown tower. The lumpsum of work would total $24,890.

Riggins said Maguire Iron askedthat the city sign the contract soMaguire Iron can put the city workon their schedule.

Jackie Stilwell noted that shecould set up a meeting with the

water tower, sound system issuesply, according to stock contractors.

“It’s been the case for a while,and overall, there are more goodbucking horses now than therewere in the ’70s and ’80s, due tobreeding, but we definitely needmore,” said Ike Sankey, a Joliet,Mont., cowboy and the PRCA’sStock Contractor of the Year in1999.

Sutton’s concept is simple. Herallied five competing stock con-tractors, including Sankey, to agreeto share bloodlines of their cham-pion bucking horses. Each brought10 mares and one high-caliber studto Sutton’s ranch. All of the studshad been selected for the WranglerNational Finals Rodeo at somepoint.

From May 1 to July 1, Suttonbabysat as the horses went to pas-ture. Sutton’s property is largeenough that each band of mares –ranging from seven to 13 in num-ber – had a separate pasture bor-dered by two fences, so the stallionscouldn’t fight. Stock contractorspaired at least one of their mares –some bred before, others maiden –with each stud. The cross-breedingarrangement was all horse trade –no fees changed hands, with the ex-ception of a feed payment to Suttonof $3 per day, per horse.

Some 15 stock contractorsshowed interest, Sutton said. Butsome snubbed the program fromthe get-go; others folded at the lastminute.

Kirsten Vold, who runs HarryVold Rodeo Co., which her fatherstarted in 1954, thought about join-ing but decided not to – not becauseshe thinks it’s a bad idea but be-cause the setup wasn’t right forher.

Sutton asked Vold to pony upPainted Valley, the PRCA’s 2010Saddle Bronc of the Year and thetop saddle bronc at the 2009 NFR.Vold declined.

“I’m glad more rodeo companiesare working together to try to im-prove the genetics of our sport, andI appreciate the opportunity,” shesaid. “But I currently get $2,500per mare for a breeding with(Painted Valley’s) semen, and Iwant to keep the value of the prod-uct. My lack of involvement is notdue to me not supporting the proj-ect but of protecting my commod-ity.”

While stock contractors some-times arrange individual studtrades with a fellow contractor todiversify bloodlines, they are gen-erally protective of their stock.That, Vold said, has been a mis-take.

“What everyone’s figuring out iswe all succeed if we all share andcross bloodlines,” she said. “WhatSteve is doing is groundbreaking,the start of something new. It’s aneasy way to breed a lot of differentstuds at one time.”

Breeding the same stud yearafter year results in good mixeswith some mares but not others,Vold said, which can reduce thechances of ending up with a stellarbucking horse.

Sankey agrees it’s a challengefor breeders to introduce new ge-netics to their stock and said hewas excited to give Sutton’s pro-gram a try, bringing two world-champion mares and others whohave been good producers.

“The ideal situation would be toend up with 10 colts that were allworld champions. That’s not a real-istic goal, but who knows?” he said. A proven bucking horse that’s goodenough to be selected for the NFRcan fetch around $40,000, Suttonsaid, adding that the rare top buck-ing broncs have sold for $100,000to $200,000.

Sutton did not test the mares inthis year’s program to see if they’repregnant. Foaling should occur inmid-April. The offspring won’t bebucked until they’re about fiveyears old, which is when they’lldemonstrate their prowess.

No one seems worried about cre-ating bucking horses that are justtoo rank for cowboys to ride.

“One thing time has proven: thebetter the horses are, the better thecontestants are,” Sankey said. “Ithink raising bucking horses isgoing to spread out to more thanjust a select group of stock contrac-tors. I think you’ll find investorsstarting to get into breeding be-cause a horse can perform at hispeak from five years old until 14 or15. A bull has maybe two to threeyears, and he’s peaked.”

Sutton wants to make the cross-breeding program an annual eventand has dreams of expanding to alarger-scale operation. He also hasvisions of being able to announcesuccess in five years.

“I hope we’ll celebrate at theNFR the great thing that wasstarted here,” he said.

Steve Sutton is a gambling man.But he’s playing no ordinary gameof chance. Sutton’s using mares aschips and superstar studs as hisace in the hole.

There isn’t much to lose, theSouth Dakota stock contractor fig-ures. A little time, effort and moneycould be up in smoke if his experi-ment fails. On the other hand, awindfall could be in the cards.

Patience is in order first. He andfive other stock contractors won’tknow if their wager will pay off forabout five years.

“Nope, there are no guarantees,”Sutton said. “It’s a risk, and I’vehad people tell me I was crazy. Butthe bucking horse world needs aboost, and I’m hoping this deal canhelp.”

Earlier this year, Sutton, whoco-owns Onida, S.D.-based SuttonRodeos Inc., with his father, Jim,launched the Breeding to BuckProgram of 2012.

“I watched the bull world changefrom 20 years ago by tradingsemen. I couldn’t talk anybody inthe horse world into doing that,”Sutton said. “Now, we’re in thesame situation with bucking horses– there’s a shortage of good ones.”

The population of buckinghorses has been in a crisis mode be-fore. After World War II ended androdeo resurged in popularity, stockcontractors scrambled to meet de-mand, as more wide-open spacesbecame fenced, and fewer wildhorses roamed the land.

Stock contractors like Sutton’sgrandfather James, a ProRodeoHall of Famer, figured out how tobreed horses to buck, and theprocess became an industry stan-dard.

Today, demand for rank buckinghorses is once again outpacing sup-

John 17:1-26Sin is a divider. That’s what separated mankind

from the Lord in the garden, and it has been fracturingrelationships ever since. It’s also the reason that Godconsiders reconciliation so important. He wants to re-

establish an intimate relationship with fallen humanity. But His desires for His children don’t end withtheir salvation experience. He also wants His church to be a shining example of unity for all to see. The last time Christ prayed for His followers before going to the cross, He asked “that they may all beone” as the Father and Son are one (v. 21). Despite the fact that we cannot attain perfect unity with Goduntil we reach heaven, we do have the capacity to walk in harmony with Him by living in obedience toHis Holy Spirit within us. The other aspect of oneness that God desires for us is unity with one another within His church. Wewill always have differences in what we prefer and how we interpret certain Bible passages, but our com-mon identity as Christians is based on the essential truths of the faith as revealed in God’s Word. Theunity Christ advocates is possible only when each member of His body walks in submission to the Spiritso that together they can achieve the purposes of God and reflect Christ’s character in their behavior. Ask the Lord to produce a desire for unity within your heart. When you’re tempted to demand yourown way, remember what’s at stake. Accord in a local church allows God to do His work effectively throughthat congregation, but it’s also an attractive witness that draws the lost world to Christ.

“Money can’t buy happiness,but it can buy chickens, and that’spretty much the same thing.” Iread this little saying the otherday and thought, “That’s aboutright.” For some strange reason,I’ve always liked having those sillycritters running around the placemaking it homey. They’re so dread-fully optimistic and cheerful. Theycan hardly wait to start each newday since there is bound to besomething wonderful just about tohappen, or so they think. Open thedoor or gate in the morning, andthe birds don’t just wander out.They run and fly out to spread inall four directions. Pretty soonthey’re chasing grasshoppers,scratching busily in the dirt, tak-ing dust baths, and generally hav-ing a grand old time. Watching allthis lifts my spirits and makes mesmile. My neighbor, Chuck, apparentlyfeels somewhat the same way.They haven’t had any chickensaround their place for a number ofyears, but Chuck has been plottingto get some for quite a while. Lastspring he finally got things to-gether enough to order some babychicks so he now has eggs to sellfrom time to time. Since I unfortu-nately do not have any hens myselfat present, this is good becausefarm-raised eggs do taste betterthan those shipped in to the gro-cery stores. They have more color-ful yolks as well and firmer shells. Better-tasting eggs, actually,and more of them, are one of themain advantages of having chick-ens around. In my experience andfinancially speaking, you aren’tapt to make much money raisingchickens. You’re probably lucky tobreak even. The birds are satisfy-ing in other terms, some of whichI’ve just mentioned, but as amoney-maker not so much. Early last year, Chuck askedwhat breeds I’d found that mightwork out well for him. Heavenknows I’ve had enough experiencethrough raising thousands ofchickens over the years and tryingdozens of breeds from tiny littlebantams to huge old things. I saidI’d found Hubbard Golden Comethens to be the best layers ofbrown-shelled eggs and some formof Leghorns for white. Cornish-Rocks are the best meat chickensby far. Chuck eventually took someof my advice but also ordered some

just for fun and because their color,etc. appealed to him. I know he gotsome roosters because Ted at ourriver place can hear them crowingfrom across the river on a quietday. What doesn’t work very well arethose breeds that our touted asdual-purpose. These are supposedto be good producers of both meatand eggs. In practice, those hensdon’t lay nearly as well as the onesbred strictly for egg production.The roosters also tend to get toughbefore they’re big enough to havemuch meat on them. I remembermany years ago when Chuck’swife, Merry, was grumblingaround one day that she’dbutchered an old rooster and triedto boil it up for soup. Her commentwas, “I boiled that sucker for threedays, and it was still tough.” Thatmay have been a slight overstate-ment, but it is probably true thatany rooster over six-months oldshould just be fed to the cats.Cooking it is apt to be a waste oftime. Any rooster much over two-months of age, in fact, is going tobe a little tough unless you fricas-see it which involves cooking it areally long time. Well, as you can probably tell, aperson raises chickens because heor she enjoys it and reaps somebenefits along the way althoughprobably not financially. That ap-plies to lots of other things as wellsuch as gardening. You can buyyour veggies about as cheaply asyou can raise them, but somehome-raised ones taste ever somuch better. Other pursuits thatgrab people’s interest and timemight include hunting, fishing,woodworking, quilting, knitting,sewing and genealogy. Thesethings might not make you rich,but they might make you happy. By the way, I saw another say-ing the other day that probably ap-plies to neighbor Chuck along withthe one about chickens. That onegoes, “The most important thing inlife is to be yourself, unless you canbe a cowboy. Always be a cowboy.”Chuck and a whole lot of other peo-ple around here would definitelysubscribe to that theory. It tends toget in the blood. Put another way,we might say, “Money can’t buyhappiness, but it can buy horsesand cattle, and that’s pretty muchthe same thing.”

Can’t Buy Happiness

Lookin’ Aroundby Syd Iwan

Baxter Badure is once againmaking the saddle that R-Calf willbe presenting to someone at thestock show in Rapid City later thismonth. According to Bax’s brother,Greg, the picture tooled into theseat of the saddle this year will betaken from a well-known Wyomingphoto of a man on a black horse ina snowstorm with a calf being bal-anced against the saddle horn infront. Bax and Carol are nowpretty much down to one daughterat home. Brianna, at present, ismostly living in Hot Springs andworking at a nursing home, CastleManor. She likes the work. Kiannaattends sixth grade in Kadoka andseems to like that too. Mary Johnston has been stayingfairly close to home during the coldweather. She does go to Kadokamost Wednesdays to help with Re-lease Time at the church and getsome groceries. Church inBelvidere is usually on the agendafor Sundays. Al Badure and Beverly Mc-Daniel went to Casper, WY, thisweek to see Beverly’s son, Marvin,who was critically ill with heartproblems. Marvin, unfortunately,died later in the week, and his fu-neral service will be held in Philipthis week. Marvin was only 54 buthad been having health problemsfor quite a while. Bud Stickler of Philip is cur-rently in the Rapid City hospitalafter his knee gave way last week.He’d had the knee replaced someyears ago, but it gave out on himwhen he was shoveling some snow.He will probably be in the hospitalor rehab for quite a while. Bud hasbeen a long-time friend of the De-Vries family and has done carpen-try work at the Belvidere Churchand around the area. Frank Carlson reports that wehave a new part-time residentsince mid December who lives onthe old Art Johnston place by theriver southeast of town. His nameis Perry Compton, and he is ajockey by trade. His family ownsthe old Johnston place, and Perryis doing some renovations on thehouse there when he has time offfrom riding in races. He came herefrom Omaha, NE. Frank says hismorning rounds these days includetending cattle at Mowry’s east oftown, at Bitting’s northwest and atMike Blom’s northeast. He saidthat James and Colter Carlsontried some coyote calling on Sun-day at Lee Addison’s. Four coyotewere called in but only was shot. Norma Headlee said it was anice quite weekend for doing taxwork so that’s what she did. Billand she are getting things caughtup in preparation for the calving

season which will start soon andwill keep the vet clinic busy for anumber of months. Norma said herbrother, Tom DeVries, came to herrescue last week when she got atractor stuck in a snow bank. Shesaid Tom has been rescuing her outof this and that for going on fiftyyears now and hasn’t given up yet.This weekend, though, she man-aged to stay out of trouble and didnot need Tom’s help. Jo and Jory Rodgers went toPierre on Sunday so Jory couldcompete in a wrestling tournamentthere. He came in second in his di-vision. Also at the meet were Mark,Nicci and Greyson DeVries sinceGreyson took part in the meet too.His two older brothers were in ameet at Winner on Friday and Sat-urday. Jo said they are still work-ing on the Belvidere Store andhope they can open it soon. OnMonday, Jo was planning to driveto Spearfish for a postal meeting.Monday is a federal holiday so Jodidn’t have to man a post officesomewhere. In other words, Mon-day was a holiday from running apost office but not from postal du-ties altogether. Russ and Gay Spinsby are stay-ing nice and cozy these cold daysthanks to a new heat pump theyhad installed last week. Their oldfurnace was giving them grief sothe new system was needed. Theheat pump is supposed to be moreefficient that there old system soGay is hoping for a lower utilitybill. Both sons have been home tovisit recently. Casey and familyand a hunting friend of Casey’scame from Huron the last few daysof December and were successful ingetting a deer. Marty and familycame the next weekend from SiouxFalls with their new daughter, AriaElizabeth, who was born on Decem-ber 14. Both sons now have twokids each, and each has one sonand one daughter. Both Casey andMarty say their families are nowcomplete so Russ and Gay mayhave to be content with four grand-kids unless something unexpectedcomes along. Greg and Dana Badure and kidswere visited by Eric and Pam Os-born on Sunday. Eric brought alonghis saw and helped shore up aweak spot in the floor that occa-sionally made one wonder if itmight give way and deposit some-one in the basement. The familylately has been putting a newChristmas gift to good use. It is avideo game called Wii which in-volves standing up to play it. It isquite popular with the kids espe-cially, and Greg says it has somephysical activity involved whichisn’t a bad thing.

In South Dakota, we have an op-portunity to make our state saferand save tens of millions of tax-payer dollars. It is an opportunitywe must seize. South Dakota’s prison popula-tion has grown by six times in thelast 35 years. Spending on correc-tions has tripled in the last 20years alone. Our state locks upmore people, per capita, than anyof our bordering states. We lock up75 percent more men than NorthDakota and four times as manywomen as Minnesota. We are aclear outlier. Unfortunately, these high levelsof imprisonment have not madeour state safer. In the past decade,17 states have lowered their im-prisonment rates while also lower-ing their crime rates at twice therate that South Dakota’s wentdown. If we do nothing, our prison pop-ulation will grow by 900 inmates –that’s 25 percent – in the next 10years, costing taxpayers $224 mil-lion. We will need to build two newprisons. This spring, I joined the ChiefJustice and legislative leaders inengaging over 400 stakeholders be-fore establishing a bipartisan,inter-branch work group to lookinto this problem. The group in-cluded law enforcement, judges,legislators, treatment providers,defense attorneys and prosecutors. We asked this work group to seeif we could improve public safety,hold offenders more accountable,and get a better return on our pub-lic safety dollars. I’m pleased thatthe work group came back with ro-bust recommendations. Following my State of the Stateaddress, the Chief Justice and 70legislators, including the Republi-can and Democratic leaders of theHouse and the Senate, joined me insubmitting the South Dakota Pub-

lic Safety Improvement Act. This measure, Senate Bill 70,will improve supervision on proba-tion and parole through expandedtreatment and reduced caseloads,and it will use proven tools likedrug courts and a new 24/7-styleprogram for drug offenders. It will focus our prison space onviolent and career criminals bypunishing drug kingpins moreharshly than users while ensuringswift and certain sanctions for of-fenders. Finally, the bill calls for im-proved victim notification andrestitution collection, and it re-quires that all of these programs bemeasured and evaluated for effec-tiveness, year after year. This path will save our statetens of millions of dollars in prisoncosts while keeping South Dakotasafer. This is the right path for-ward, and I’m not alone in support-ing the measure. I’m joined by theChief Justice, Attorney General,Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, VictimsAdvocates, State’s Attorneys,County Commissioners, the StateBar, and Treatment Providers. South Dakota is showing, onceagain, that we can work together tofind common sense, smart solu-tions to our biggest problems.ing toget back into a normal routine fol-lowing the holidays may not havetaken the time to ensure that kidsand parents alike are vaccinatedfor the flu this season.

The scorewas in the triple digits, but itshould be high if you are playingthe SD State Champions; if theyexpect to defend their title. TheTigers have such an even team thatthe subs are getting some real pol-ish on them, too. I could watchthose guys play all day long. AfterI have watched for awhile, my eyesfill up with tears. I am so proud ofthem. I have cheered for some ofthose guys all their lives and theyreally make basketball a teamsport.

recipients are children and 31% areadults. Disabled adults and low-in-come parents qualify for Medicaid.Many of our nursing home resi-dents qualify for Medicaid. The Af-fordable Care Act (ACA) allows thestates to expand coverage to thoseadults who qualify if they are at138% of the poverty level. (Chil-dren are already covered whetheror not we expand Medicaid).

The population affected by theexpansion would be South Dakota’sworking poor who do not typicallyreceive health insurance throughtheir employer. If states choose toexpand Medicaid, the federal gov-ernment will cover 100 percent ofthe costs from 2014 to 2016. Thefeds' contribution will begin to de-crease in 2017, but will never beless than 90 percent, under theACA. This expansion would bringclose to $200 million federal dollarsto SD to care for those in need,make our citizens healthier, andkeep them out of more expensiveemergency care. Arizona recentlyannounced that they will providethe Medicaid Expansion to theircitizens.

We’re now well into committeework in both Senate Health andSenate Judiciary as we end the sec-ond week of the session. As I’veknown over the 12 years I’ve servedin the Legislature, the 38 days ofthe Legislature go by quickly. As Imentioned in my last article, I’vespent many days prior to the startof this session serving on the Gov-ernor’s Criminal Justice Task Ini-tiative Task Force which will bebringing forth legislation in thissession to improve our justice sys-tem by providing for increases indrug and alcohol courts.

With colder temperatures oftencome runny noses, sore throats andunfortunately, the flu. Familiesacross South Dakota who are try-ing to get back into a normal rou-tine following the holidays may nothave taken the time to ensure thatkids and parents alike are vacci-nated for the flu this season. This week, South Dakota wasmoved into the “widespread” fluclassification by the U.S. Center forDisease Control and Prevention(CDC), leading hospitals and busi-nesses to take extra precautions. Intotal, eleven South Dakotans havedied from the flu and the state hasreported almost 600 cases of flu sofar this season. It’s time to take the flu seriously.I encourage all South Dakotans tonot only get vaccinated, but to stayhome from work or school if youhave symptoms, such as a cough orfever. The typical incubation periodfor the flu is an average of two daysand adults can be infectious for aweek, starting with the day beforesymptoms began. Children can becontagious even longer.

Flu vaccines protect individualsfrom the three flu strains predictedto be most popular that season.While the vaccine is still the bestway to prevent the flu, antiviraldrugs can also be a strong line ofdefense, as well as common sensehealth habits, such as covering acough and consistent hand-wash-ing. South Dakota has the highestvaccination rate in the country –with over half of our population re-ceiving the vaccine during the2011-2012 flu season! In fact,South Dakota received the AdultImmunization Coverage Awardfrom the CDC in 2012. I encourage South Dakotans tolook at information provided by theSouth Dakota Department ofHealth or contact a local healthcare provider if you have any addi-tional questions or concerns re-garding the flu vaccine.

Fighting the FluBy Rep. Kristi Noem

Since President Obama took of-fice in 2009, an additional 15 mil-lion Americans have been added tothe food stamp rolls. This trend hascontinued despite economic indica-tors coming from his administra-tion that suggest the number ofAmericans out of work and en-rolling in government safety netprograms should be on the decline. The most recent food stamp par-ticipation numbers paint a verytroubling picture of the U.S. econ-omy. According to the latest statis-tics released on January 4, 2013,by the Department of Agriculture,the number of Americans enrolledin the Supplemental Nutrition As-sistance Program, commonly re-ferred to as food stamps, has spikedto nearly 48 million people, ornearly 15 percent of the U.S. popu-lation. Food stamp enrollment hasincreased by more than 607,000just since the last report was pub-lished in December of 2012. The enrollment of such a largenumber of Americans in the foodstamp program has come at an ex-tremely high cost to taxpayers.Last year alone the U.S. govern-ment spent a record $80.4 billionon food stamps, and is projected tospend an estimated $770 billionover the next 10 years. With nearly one out of everyseven people using food stamps,lawmakers should be carefully re-viewing the rapid increase in en-rollment and finding answers toimportant questions, such as: arethese benefits being provided tothose who need it most; should thelist of eligible food stamp productsbe modified; and does this programencourage independence or does it

instead create an ongoing depend-ency on government programs? In December of 2012, I sent aletter along with Senator Jeff Ses-sions (R-Ala.) to Wendy Spencer,Chief Executive Officer for the Cor-poration for National and Commu-nity Service (CNCS), a governmententity responsible for matchinggovernment paid volunteers withlocal community service organiza-tions. Our letter outlined our con-cerns that current CNCS policiesand promotional materials may beencouraging the exploitation offood stamps by paid CNCS volun-teers, resulting in unnecessary foodstamp participation. While this isjust one example of the fraud andabuse that plagues this system, if afederal agency such as CNCS isable to exploit the benefits of an-other federal program, it is difficultto predict just how far and wide-spread fraud and abuse may reach. It is time for Congress to engagein a meaningful discussion abouthow to best reduce poverty and ex-pand upward mobility for all Amer-icans, and take decisive action toachieve this goal. Congress muststrike a balance to ensure that weprotect our country’s most vulnera-ble and those who legitimatelyneed assistance while also cuttingfederal spending, reprioritizing fed-eral programs, and eliminatingwaste, fraud, and abuse. As Con-gress prepares to address our na-tion’s overall federal spending, Iwill continue to advocate for com-mon-sense reforms to our nation’ssafety net programs that will im-prove America’s social, fiscal, andeconomic health.

Meatless Meals With this year’s drought, econo-mists are predicting a rise in nextyear’s meat prices. This has manyindividuals thinking about moremeatless meal options. Generally,when you say “meatless meals”everyone thinks of grilled cheeseor peanut butter sandwiches.There are many other types ofhealthy, inexpensive meatlessmeals that are easy to prepare. Many of us were raised to thinkof meats as the most importantpart of any meal, but we often eatmore meat than our bodies actu-ally need. MyPlate (www.choose-myplate.gov) recommends thatadults consume 4 to 6 ounces ofmeat each day (three ounces isabout the size of a deck of playingcards.) The institute of Medicinerecommends that we get at least10% and no more than 35% of calo-ries from protein. The specificamount that we needs changeswith age. Protein is key to the growth andrepair of your muscles, bones, lig-aments, tissues, and even hair,skin and nails. Protein foodsources such as meat, poultry, fish,dry beans and peas, eggs, nuts,and seeds supply many nutrients.These include protein, B vitamins,vitamin E, iron, zinc, and magne-sium. We also get protein from

grains such as wheat germ and oatbran. Plant foods such as beansand nuts are wise choices for pro-tein, since so many Americans fallshort on fiber. Canned beans, such as blackbeans (1 cup equals 15 grams ofprotein), and kidney beans (1 cupequals 13 grams of protein) can beeasily added to casseroles, soupsand salads. Bags of dry beans areless expensive than canned. Toprepare dry beans, add 2 cups ofdry beans to 10 cups of cold water.Bring the water to a boil and con-tinue boiling for one to three min-utes. Cover the pot. Let stand for 4hours, then drain and rinse thesoaked beans. Cover the beanswith fresh water. Serve plain oruse in a favorite recipe; 1-1/2 cupsof cooked beans equals 1 can ofdrained beans. Examples of meatless meals in-clude: homemade pizza with low-fat cheese, meatless chili, beanburritos, soups and stews that in-clude beans, beans and rice, chick-peas on salads and vegetablecasserole dishes. To save money and lower yourfat and cholesterol intake, considernon-meat proteins and smallerportions of meat. Consider cuttingout meat one day each week byhaving “Meatless Monday”.

Plague Affecting Prairie DogPopulations?

With much of the snow melting,and labeling of the chemical prod-ucts registered for prairie dogs al-lowing use for some time yet, someopportunity remains this winterfor control. Before initiating chem-ical control measures however,landowners would be advised tomake sure prairie dog towns areactive.

Several recent news storieshave relayed the incidence of syl-vatic plague, the term assigned tocover all forms of plague in wildanimals, which is affecting prairiedogs in various locations across theU.S. Sylvatic plague is believed tohave been introduced into theNorth American prairie ecosystemaround 1899, and was first docu-mented in a prairie dog colonynear Lubbock, Texas, in 1946. A1999 article states that plague hasbeen active in black-tailed prairiedog populations in the northernGreat Plains only within the lastdecade although it has been pres-ent for much longer.

One source states that few ifany healthy prairie dog complexescurrently exist in the SouthernPlains within the United States.Another article states that sylvaticplague was first detected in SouthDakota in 2004, and has sincebeen confirmed on the Fort PierreNational Grassland, the BuffaloGap National Grasslands, in Bad-lands National Park and on theLower Brule Indian Reservation inSouth Dakota. Other reports indi-cate that the plague may be affect-ing prairie dogs on private land aswell.

In cases where people have con-tracted the disease, it is usually re-ferred to as bubonic plague. When

people contract the disease, it isusually from coming in contactwith an infected rodent (such as arat, a squirrel or a prairie dog) ortheir fleas. Before the advent ofmodern medicine, bubonic plaguestruck the human population inepidemic proportions every fewcenturies. Today, improved sanita-tion practices and modern insecti-cides and antibiotics have reducedthe threat of plague epidemics indeveloped countries like theUnited States. According to an ar-ticle in late-November, 2012, therehad not been any confirmed casesof the plague in people in SouthDakota as of that time.

Although it is said to be a rareoccurrence, humans can contractthe plague. Modern antibiotics areeffective against plague, but treat-ment must begin promptly. Symp-toms include swollen and tenderlymph glands accompanied byfever, chills, headache and extremeexhaustion. Although humans con-tracting the plague is said to berare, it only makes sense to takeprecautions. People are advised tokeep themselves and their petsflea-free and away from plaguedareas. If you are working in oraround a prairie dog town, takesteps to minimize your exposure.
