Former Jones County lady hits century mark

Irene Pruess Caldwell, whogrew up north of Draper, thenlived north of Murdo after hermarriage to Louis Caldwell, cele-brated her 100th birthday at herhome in Pierre last Thursday, Jan-uary 24, 2012. She was honoredby a proclamation from the gover-nor, an interview and presentationby the Mayor of Pierre and a storyand picture on the front page ofthe daily Capital Journal.

Mrs. Caldwell told thereporter that she and Louie leftJones County with their four chil-dren in 1952, moving to a ranchjust out of Fort Pierre on Highway14. She worked at the statelibrary for 22 years and feels hergreatest accomplishment wasassembling a history book titled"Bad River, Ripples, Rages andResidents." The idea for the booksprang up in the Bad RiverWomen's Club, so with the help offamily and friends, the storyunfolded. The book, now out ofprint, has sold on E-Bay for hun-dreds of dollars.

Although Irene uses a walkerfor stability, she still has a driver'slicense and last fall when thisreporter stopped in to say "hi", she

was about to drive herself to theeye doctor. Her mind is clear, hermemory a treasure. Her advice toyounger folks is to look for thegood in every day.

This reporter stopped back ina few days ago and saw the evi-dence of a person well loved.Stacks of birthday cards covered

the coffee table. Every other spacein the living room was brilliantwith bouquets of flowers and othertreasures. Outside her window,huge flakes of fluffy snow drifteddown to bless another day. Hercrocheting was waiting for her towake up from her nap. Ah, happybirthday, dear Irene.

Irene with her four children: Gloria Hanson, Ron Caldwell, Car-

olie Zacher and Brad Caldwell.

West Side News

Looks like January out thereagain. Hard to believe the monthis already gone. Some really nicedays made it go faster.

A couple weeks ago ClariceRoghair drove north to the Isabelcountry for some visiting. Shehappened to get to Brice andAnne's on Monday, so helpedgrandson Rope celebrate his 7thbirthday. Then she spent timewith Carolyn Gleason of Ken-tucky, who is a former JonesCounty resident and mom to Lon-nie Roghair's wife, Becky.

This past Monday Claricestopped in at the hospital in Pierreand spent a few minutes withGrace McKillip, who was probablygoing to be released from ICU thatday. Grace was in good spirits inspite of having numerous insideand outside stitches and surgeryon an ankle following an accidentin her home last week. It is a goodthing she was wearing one of thosebeeper necklaces and could sum-mon help. She said her goodfriends Tom and Linda Michalekwere there within minutes and the

medics arrived right shortly there-after.

Westside high school basketballplayers Wyatt Hespe, Kalli Hespeand Jessie Harrison all playedbasketball in Kadoka last week.Friday at practice Jessie jumpedup for a rebound, collided withanother player and got knockedbackwards. After a checkup at theJones County Clinic, she wentover to Philip where x-raysrevealed no breaks, but a deep tis-sue injury in the area of her shoul-der, shoulder blade and upperback. She won't be playing muchround ball in the next coupleweeks.

Darian, Annalee and Mesa rodehorses to the home of Grandpa andGrandma Roghair Sunday after-noon. While there, they madevalentines for veteran residents atHot Springs VA Center.

Lonnie and Brice Roghair hadplanned to ride with an Isabelteam in the Ranch Rodeo at thestock show, but between sicknessand snow storm at the time of thisrelease, it was uncertain if theyactually did it.

Roghair rocksHow do you like our new rock-

ing chair? Our grandma Roghairhad the highest bid on it at thewinter fair a couple weeks ago, soshe brought it to us. My new babysister isn't quite ready to rock in it,but I think she will like it, too.

Grandma says she goofed upwhen she wrote the story aboutthe winter fair and potato feed.She forgot to mention thatSchwan's donated ice cream to topoff the pie and apple crisp. Shealso forgot to say that Deb fromMurdo Family Foods gave her abunch of stuff to make some deli-cious pies from. Oh well, maybe ifshe starts planning now for nextyears winter fair, everything willhappen without any glitches.

Modern Woodmen kids make valentines

The youth club volunteers ofOkaton's Modern Woodmen madeapproximately 60 valentines tomail to the Veteran's Home at HotSprings, South Dakota. This isthe third year the young peoplehave done this project, bringingvalentine cheer and love to the res-idents of the home.

Sickness And Sin

by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

One thing that really concerns this writer about modern life, is how sin is constantly called sickness. A man commits some moral outrage and they say

he is sick — they even tell him that.

I went to see a man some time ago who had fallen into unspeakable immorality and it had caught up with him. For years his sanctimonious life had

been a sham; now the mask was torn off and he was in trouble — deep trouble.

I had been telling him that now his best course was to make a clean confession — to the courts and to God. But someone else had gotten to him first.

While he stood by, listening, this man had told his wife: “You must get Jim to see that he’s sick and needs help. I’m not condoning what he has done, but

I’m hopeful that if he gets the proper help he can be cured.”

What a way to evade the sin question! Of course the man was sick — I imagine you and I would be sick too if we lived as he had been living! But

let’s get this straight: His sick- ness came from his sin, not his sin from some sickness. He would have been far better off to sob out his heart in contri-

tion before God for his sin than to excuse his conduct on the grounds of illness. Rom. 5:12 says: “By one man sin entered into the world and death by

sin,” and Rom. 6:23 says: “The wages of sin is death.”

The sobering fact is that while there may be differences in the kinds of sins we commit, or in the degrees of our sin, Rom. 3:23 declares that there is

no difference in this, that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

This is why we are so pleased and proud to proclaim “the gospel of the grace of God,” how Christ paid the penalty for our sins that we might have a

perfect standing before a holy God, “being justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24). “Thanks be unto

God for His unspeakable gift!” (II Cor. 9:15).

Two minutes with the bible

“(Jesus said) I Am the Bread ofLife, whoever comes to Me shallnot hunger, and whoever believesin Me shall never thirst.”

John 6:35bOne of the things that many

people like to do is eat! And peo-ple like to go out to eat. Some-times it doesn't matter where theplace is as long as we get some-thing to eat. We like to go out.Why...maybe its a change ofmenu...by that I mean we get achance to try something differentto eat....of course we wouldn'twant to do this every day...$$$unless of course we have lots ofmoney and then again we need tomake sure we are eating theright kinds of food...the good onesfor our body.

We know that we need to eathealthy to stay healthy. If wewant to have a long life and goodhealth we watch what we eat.Now if that is true when it comesto physical food, how more shouldwe watch what we eat when itcomes to the spiritual!...If we aregoing to life forever, then weneed to eat the right soul food.

This brings us to the Words ofJesus. He said...;paraphrased...Ifyou eat of Me, you will never gohungry. If you believe in Me, youwill never be thirsty.

What a statement by Jesus.Sadly, many people includingsome Christians decline Jesus'offer. They don't want a steadydiet of Jesus, do they. Thinkabout some of the people that weknow. How would they respond ifyou asked them how often theygo to church?

All too often we hear of peoplegoing to church once a month, ifthat.....Eating once a month isnot going to help our physical

bodies. If you would try it, youwould probably see that wewould be out of strength andenergy and not feel very good atall.

Your stomach would grum-ble...complain...and rumblearound somewhat. You would getlight headed...as your body wouldbe telling you to “FEED ME!!!”“Let me eat something so I can behappy again.”

Our souls don't grumble orrumble or complain that loudlyas our bodies do for food...but cer-tainly The Holy Spirit has beentelling us to come and feed onJesus...come and visit ourRedeemer...come and receive for-giveness of sins..but then otherthings are speaking louder to us.

If that does sound familiar...Ido have Good News for you...evennow Jesus is still inviting us tocome and visit Him....and He isalways ready to feed us, to for-give us, to help is in our daily liv-ing all the way to eternal life.

His invitation is still there...”IAm the Bread of Life, eat of Meand you will never go hungryagain.” Jesus is the Bread of Life.He is the only thing that everysinner needs. He is the onlyFriend that can give us truepeace. He is the only Savior whocan forgive our sins and who cangrant us a good life here and aperfect life in eternity.

We pray: Father in Heaven,feed me with Jesus the TrueBread of Life, so that I may bespiritual nourished and strength-ened for the journey , which willeventually lead to heaven. This Iask in Jesus name, who lived,suffered, died and rose that Imight follow Him forever. Amen.

Rabbits are out in force!Rabbits are out in force, says

John Ball, Professor and SDSUExtension Forestry Specialist.

“You may have noticed the barkmissing from the lower trunks ofyoung trees. When I walkedthrough several shelterbelts lastweek every tree and shrub was cutoff at about 1-foot as cleanly as ifsomeone came by with a pair ofhand pruners,” Ball said.

Ball reminds readers that rab-bits can chew bark off of largertrees up to a height of 18 to 20inches above the snow line, anychewing that is done under thesnow line is usually done by volesor mice.

“The damage is most common totrees such as crabapples, apples,honeylocust and maples,” he said.“Shrub damage is usually entiretwigs or stems cut cleanly at a 45-degree angle. You’ll often findsmall brown droppings on thesnow near these plants.”

To avoid this problem, Ball saysthe best method is to remove anyhiding cover; brush and woodpiles,which are perfect habitat for rab-bits. He encourages homeownersto fence off valuable shrub beds

using chicken wire that is at least3 feet tall.

“That is 3 feet above the snowline and tight with the ground.However, it is probably a little lateto begin thinking about fencing atthis point,” Ball said. “But, itmight not be too late to apply somerepellents during some of thewarmer January days.”

Ball explains that repellentswork one of two ways, either asodor, usually mimicking the odorof a predator (usually their urine),or taste/irritation, such as cap-saicin (think of hot peppers).

“Usually repellents based onodor are more effective thantaste/irritation but not always, soit never hurts to experiment a lit-tle bit,” he said.

Finally, Ball says not to livetrap rabbits.

“No one else wants them eitherand most animals that arereleased in unfamiliar territoryhave a very short life span,” Ballsaid.

It’s time to approve theKeystone XL Pipeline

by Rep. Kristi NoemAfter almost four and a half

years of applications, environmen-tal studies and hearings, the pro-posed Keystone XL pipeline is stillin limbo and waiting for approval.In the face of rising energy costsand continued reliance on foreignoil supplies, it is time for PresidentObama to finally approve this proj-ect.

The American people deserve areliable energy supply that comesfrom American sources. Thatmeans more than just oil, it alsomeans renewable sources such ashydropower and wind. I have andwill continue to support an all-of-the-above American energy policy.In South Dakota, we continue tolead by example by taking advan-tage of our vast wind energyresources and by developing newethanol technologies.

The Keystone XL pipeline willultimately decrease our depend-ence on unstable sources of energyfrom the Middle East and couldcreate up to 20,000 new Americanjobs. This project continues toreceive strong bipartisan support.

There’s little, if anything, thatshould be holding the President

back from authorizing the start ofconstruction. Environmental ana-lysts have concluded that thereare few risks to adding the 1,700mile pipeline. Even the nation’sbiggest labor organization statedthat the Keystone XL pipelinewould allow workers from all overthe United States to benefit fromthe project.

It’s time for the President andhis administration to get seriousabout our nation’s energy security.This pipeline, once completed, willcarry up to 800,000 barrels of oil aday from western Canada torefineries in Texas. The pipeline isshovel ready: easements havebeen acquired from over 97 per-cent of landowners in South Dako-ta and all seven pump station siteshave been purchased. But furtherpreparation cannot proceed with-out approval from the President.

It’s in our nation’s best interestto get this pipeline up and runningas soon as possible. Waiting overfour years for approval is just toolong. I will continue to work toensure that South Dakotans areheard loud and clear in Washing-ton.

Animal lover, Janna Glaze, anticipates after graduation education for career as Vet Techby Paige Venard

Pop Tarts, Jason Aldean, hunt-ing and CSI are among some ofJanna Glaze’s favorite things.Janna Alene Glaze, the daughterof Greg and Lea Glaze, has oneyounger sister Calli. She has onedog named Copper and three cats.Throughout high school she hasparticipated in volleyball, basket-ball, jazz choir, boys’ basketballcheerleading, play and track.

Glaze’s favorite color is yellow;she loves Easy Mac, Pop Tarts andAlfred. She enjoys watching scarymovies, CSI, Law and Order andthe Outdoor Channel and listeningto country music. Justin Mooreand Jason Aldean win over herheart as her favorite artists.

The Lying Game series are herfavorite books and her favorite hol-iday is Christmas because she gets

to spend it with family and eat lotsof delicious food. Sweat pants,hoodies or anything comfortable istypically how you would find Glazedressed.

“People who carry a phone, butthen never answer it, people whoact fake and lie, also people whonever have to work to get any-thing” are things that make herangry. Stealing Janna’s food with-out asking drives her insane.

If Glaze could meet a famousperson, she would want to meetJustin Moore or Jason Aldeanbecause “they are among myfavorite singers, and they aredown to earth and successful,” saidGlaze. She most admires “my par-ents and teachers because they allhelped me come this far, put upwith me and believed in me. Theyalso have taught me many valu-

able life lessons that I will takewith me throughout the rest of mylife.”

Considering which is leastimportant to her and why? Money,Power, or Fame?” Glaze respond-ed, “fame, because it is pointless.People would just follow youaround and start unnecessaryrumors about you.”

If Glaze had to choose amongbeing popular, accomplishingsomething or being organized, shewould choose accomplishing some-thing. She wants to set an examplefor others and not give up on herdreams.

Glaze values her family, truefriends, classmates, her animalsand babysitting kids the most. Ifshe could be anything she wanted,she would be a vet or work at ananimal shelter. The biggest lesson

Glaze has learned thus far is “notgiving up when times get tough,because they will always get bet-ter.” She learned this lesson whenshe tore her ACL her junior year.She also learned to value the peo-ple in her life and never let themgo.

If a genie were to appear andgrant Glaze three wishes, shewould wish for health, happinessand success. Her major regretfrom high school was not workinghard her freshman year; conse-quently, she did not get into NHS.She would advise underclassmento “try your hardest, because if youdon’t you will regret it when youare older,” and she also advises “tostay out of drama and have fun.”Glaze said her biggest achieve-ment this far would be making itto her senior year with good

grades and a good grade on Mrs.Peter’s English tests.

Invitationals, spending timewith everyone, movie nights, goodtimes and laughs are Glaze’sfavorite memories of high school.The best thing to Glaze aboutbeing a senior is looking forward tograduation and knowing that afterthis year she is going out into theworld starting her own chapter.After she graduates the thing shewill miss the most is good memo-ries, her friends and having themat her house all the time. Afterhigh school Glaze is debating oneither Northeast Community Col-lege or Eastern Wyoming Collegefor Veterinarian Technician. Inten years she sees herself livingsomewhere around Murdo work-ing in a vet clinic.

drove it at the speed limit on thefreeway for over a hundred milesonly to have the front wheel fall offas I neared home. When it dropped,I was barely moving since I hadslowed for a sharp corner on ourcountry roads. It still gave me quitea jolt, especially when I consideredwhat might have happened had thatwheel gone when I was speedingdown those steep river hills on thefreeway. It didn’t bear thinkingabout. I was pleased to still be mov-ing and breathing.

Sometimes, too, I’ve put faith incertain people that didn’t deserve it.There was that one time some yearsago when I took in cattle for a fellowwho turned out to be very difficult todeal with. Not only did he hate topay his bills, but he also failed tomove his cattle out at the time wehad previously agreed on. It waswith some relief when that associa-tion was at last over. Since thenI’ve been blessed with other cattledeals that have worked out well forall concerned, but such has notalways been the case. Maybe I’velearned who to deal with and who toleave strictly alone.

My good-Samaritan complex has

also landed me in trouble a time orthree. One fellow I tried to helpmany years ago ended up rippingme off for several thousand dollars.He took all my belongings of anyworth and pawned them. He alsodepleted my bank account, whichwasn’t very large at the time, byforging my signature. After he’drun off with my assets and beengone a while, he called one day andwanted me to help him some more.He was out of luck by then. He’dgiven me a harsh lesson, but I’dlearned through it, or at least I hadin his particular case. I don’t mindhelping people but not when theyflat out steal from me.

Fortunately, my immediate familyhas always been composed of goodpeople. Everyone makes mistakes,but that can be overlooked if theintensions are honorable. I would-n’t do any business with some of myslightly more distant relatives, butthose closest to me are fine. Withthose who have lived or worked onthe ranch, some have been morecompetent and useful than others,but we’ve had lots of good guys help-ing us. None that I know of have setout purposely to defraud or harm

us, and some have been or are trulyexcellent fellows to have around.

Here’s a quote you might like.“Raisin cookies that look like choco-late-chip cookies are the main rea-son I have trust issues.” Not every-thing is what it seems. It’s not thatI don’t like raisin cookies, it’s justthat I like chocolate chippers moreand am disappointed when findingI’ve taken a raisin thinking it was achipper. The same principle canhave wider application.

What else can we trust in? Oneprobably shouldn’t put much hopein winning the lottery as a means ofsupport. The odds are greatlystacked against us there. Howabout the government? Iffy, don’tyou think? Some doctors andlawyers are dependable. Others notso much. I suppose we’ll have to justgo along trying to put faith in thosepeople and things that deserve it asfar as we can tell and avoiding thosethat don’t. We can also trust God tohelp us know the difference. Afterall, he is completely trustworthy,has our best interests in mind, andhas the wherewithal and strength tosee us through. It’s a very greatblessing to have him on our side.

Trust can be a fragile commodity.Take the cooking island in ourkitchen, for example. It looks niceand solid just like the other kitchencupboards, but it has one major dif-ference in that it’s on wheels. Inother words, if you lean against ittoo hard, it’s apt to move. This canbe unsettling. It might mean youhave to make some quick adjust-ments to avoid falling on the floor.Nasty. One eventually learns not totrust the thing but probably notuntil after you’ve had a few tensemoments.

Sometimes in this life, it is trickyto decide what or who you can trust.Do you, for instance, trust your cur-rent car or pickup to always get youwhere you want to go? Our vehi-cles, right now, appear to be fairlytrustworthy since they aren’t terri-bly old and haven’t been drivenexcessive miles. As you know, anyvehicle can turn obnoxious in theblink of an eye, but you can oftendepend on those that aren’t tooancient and have been properlymaintained.

I think of one vehicle I had,though, that I shouldn’t have trust-ed as much as I did. One evening I

Why Not to Apply Fungicidesto Wheat

Over the past several years,foliar fungicide application on dryland wheat has gone from a rela-tively rare practice to one thatmany producers consider automat-ic.

There have been positive yieldresponses from many of theseapplications, and with wheat com-manding competitive marketprices, often positive economicreturns. The fear of missing out onthese potential yield responsesand economic returns hasundoubtedly fueled much of theincrease in fungicide use. Thequestion is, do foliar fungicideapplications on dry land wheatalways pay, and do routine fungi-cide applications cause any harm?

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

Applications at the tilleringstage are only recommended ifwheat is planted into wheatresidue, and only if a post-emergeherbicide application is planned. Ifthe crop is not planted into wheatresidue, the main pathogens ofconcern, septoria leaf blotch andtanspot, are not present in thefield at a level to likely pose amajor threat. Adding the fungicideto the tank when making an herbi-cide application makes the costminimal, increasing the likelihoodof an economic return. Researchtrials have produced no yieldresponse or negative yieldresponses as well as positive yieldresponses. Yield response is highlydependent on weather conditionsfollowing the application, and typ-ically amounts to only a few Bu/Awhen they occur.

Factors favoring a flag leafapplication are: disease is appear-ing on flag-1 and/or flag-2, thevariety is susceptible to fungal dis-eases, the crop has good yield

potential, wet weather is forecast,the market price of wheat is high,and the cost of the fungicide appli-cation is low. Flowering timeapplications are mainly justified ifscab risk is high, and do offer pro-tection from late-season rusts ifthey move up from the south. Flagleaf and flowering time fungicideapplications either involve aerialapplication, or damaging a smallpercentage of the crop if applica-tion is made by ground equipment,both of which amount to consider-ably more input cost than a tiller-ing application.

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

The question, can routine fungi-cide applications cause harm is notas obvious. There are beneficialfungi present in any crop field aswell as harmful species. Thesefungi can be helpful in feeding onbacteria, aphids, and possiblyother harmful pests, and fungi-cides will control them as well asthe harmful fungi. Each chemicalapplication that is made to a cropweakens the protective layer of theleaves, making the plant more sus-ceptible to moisture stress and tobacterial disease. Microbial activi-ty in the soil is desirable, andfungicides are known to reduce it.Fungicide application decisionsshould not be taken lightly.

Eighth Grade enjoys making awater wheel for science class

By Ryan KirscherDuring science class one day,

substitute teacher Marilyn Iver-son had the 8th grade class make awater wheel. The water wheel con-sisted of milk jugs, strings, clay,skewers and pennies. The processof making the wheel was a longone.

First they cut a square out of anindex card and formed a triangle.Next they had to mark an 8cm lineat the bottom of one of the milkjugs. After that, they took the tri-angle and used it to make severalmore triangles on the milk jug,then they took a thumb tack andattached each corner of each trian-gle to the round edge of the cork.

Second they placed a drop ofglue on one end of each skewer andinserted one skewer into one of theholes on the end of the cork. Theythen used a hole punch to put twoholes in the bottom of the jug andcarefully pushed the skewersthrough the holes. They taped oneend of the thread to one skewer onthe outside of the jug, next to theclay ball, wrapped the threadaround the ball three times, tapedthe free end of the thread to a coinand wrapped the thread aroundthe coin and taped it again.

Third, they slowly poured froma 2L bottle onto the fins so that thewater wheel would spin andrecorded their observations. Theythen lowered the coin back to itsstarting position and added more

clay to the skewer to increase thediameter of the wheel. They alsolowered the coin back to its start-ing position and modified theshape of the clay to see if it madethe coin faster or slower

The class had a lot of fun mak-ing the water wheel. The eighthgraders said, “Water wheels are agreat way to conserve energy: Theshape of the fins determines thewheel spins.”

Creating movement…Jacob Lolley pours water on

the water wheel to check its

effectiveness.

How long?… Council members hold Links of Love to measure

as adviser Jane Daum supervises the process at the Lyman

game.

Links of Love program

makes difference through

Children’s Miracle Network

by Paige VenardJC’s Student Council is doing a

fund raiser for Links of Love,which is a program through theSanford Children’s Specialty Hos-pital. The Children’s Miracle Net-work is making a real differencefor real kids, and the studentcouncil is fundraising for the stateconvention in March where theywill present a CMN representativewith a check in the full amount ofmoney raised from the Links ofLove project.

One hundred percent of themoney raised will make a signifi-cant difference in the lives of sickand injured children. Each link is$1 or 6 for $5. Each different col-ored link represents a different

type of cancer. Links can be pur-chased in the buyer’s own name tohonor a cancer patient, or a lovedone’s name.

Council will be selling theselinks at home basketball games.Tuesday night’s game raised $260,and the link stretched about thelength of the court. They will con-tinue this project for the nextthree home games.

Eventually council memberswill display the Links of Lovepaper chain along the hallway inthe high school as a reminder ofthose who have or are still battlingcancer in all its very forms. Thepresent goal is to make the chainlong enough to go around the bas-ketball court.

PROGRAM UPDATES

The U.S. Department of Agri-culture’s Farm Service Agency(FSA) reminds producers that theAmerican Taxpayer Relief Act of2012 extended the authorization ofthe Food, Conservation, and Ener-gy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill)for many Commodity Credit Cor-poration (CCC) commodity, disas-ter, and conservation programsthrough 2013. FSA administersthese programs.

The extended programs include,among others: the Direct andCounter-Cyclical Payment Pro-gram (DCP), the Average CropRevenue Election Program(ACRE), and the Milk Income LossContract Program (MILC). FSA ispreparing the following actions:FSA will begin sign-ups for DCPand ACRE for the 2013 crops onFebruary 19, 2013. The DCP sign-up period will end on August 2,2013; the ACRE sign-up periodwill end on June 3, 2013.

The 2013 DCP and ACRE pro-gram provisions are unchangedfrom 2012, except that all eligibleparticipants in 2013 may choose toenroll in either DCP or ACRE forthe 2013 crop year. This meansthat eligible producers who wereenrolled in ACRE in 2012 mayelect to enroll in DCP in 2013 ormay re-enroll in ACRE in 2013(and vice versa).

Senator Larry Lucas

We had Monday off due to Pres-idents Day. The pace picked upconsiderably on Tuesday. Wepassed Senate Bill 45 to allow forrenewal of driver's and motorcycleoperator's licenses by mail or elec-tronic renewal once in any tenyear period. This should be a con-sumer convenience to reduce thelong waiting lines at driver licenserenewal centers.

On Tuesday, the S.D. Depart-ment of Education (DOE) present-ed documentation to the JointAppropriations Committee oftheir major department initia-tives and the department’s fund-ing requests. DOE suggests thefocus moving forward will be driv-en by student outcomes, workingwith lowest performing schools,and attempting to reduce theachievement gap especially ingraduation rates among ourNative American students. TheGovernor’s proposed budget for K-12, brought forth by the DOE, is arequest for a 3.0 percent increaseand would raise the funding for-mula from $4,491 to $4,625 for anincrease of $134 per student. Toput the amount in perspective, the

2008-09 per student allocationwas $4,642 so the FY14 amount is$17 less per student than fiveyears ago.

The gun bills that have beenintroduced so far are HB 1010 andHB 1087. HB 1010 is the proposalto allow anyone who passes abackground check to carry a con-cealed pistol without a permit.This is the bill that GovernorDaugaard vetoed last year. Gover-nor Daugaard has stated that hedoes not support any expansion ofgun rights in our state. The back-ground check serves a purpose todeny permits to individuals whocan pass a background check, butare habitually in an intoxicated ordrugged condition; have no histo-ry of violence; and have not beenfound in the previous ten years tobe a “danger to others” or a “dan-ger to self”.

HB 1087 will allow local schoolboards to authorize individuals tocarry firearms on school property.From what I have been able toread, all schools have recentlyreviewed their security policies.These security measures mayinclude enhancing how an individ-ual enters their buildings, the useof security officers on site, commu-nication with local police, andclassroom lock down procedures.None of the education groups thatlobby legislators and especiallythe school boards association sup-port allowing teachers or otherschool personnel to carry gunswhile at work.

Feeding South Dakota was inPierre on Wednesday to announcethe launch of a Mobile FoodPantry Program to help meet theneeds of hungry individuals livingin some of the most rural areas ofSouth Dakota. Communities inour area that will see the MobileFood Pantry are Fort Thompson,Lower Brule, and Reliance.

The newspaper association hadtheir annual legislative meetingand diner with legislators onThursday. Past president LucyHalverson of the Lyman CountyHerald just completed her year asthe spokesperson for the group.

In the Senate Agriculture Com-mittee we passed Senate Bill 21 toremove the requirement to havebrand inspection prior to sale orleaving the brand inspection areafor horses and mules. Rancherscan still use their registered bandon their horses and mules for mat-ters related to theft.

Rep. James Schaefer

Greetings! I appreciate my dis-trict newspapers for the coveragethey provide during the legislativesession: Central Dakota Times,Chamberlain Oacoma Sun,Lyman County Herald, andMurdo Coyote. The S.D. Newspa-per Association met in Pierre thispast week.

Our Ag and Natural ResourcesCommittee passed unanimouslyHB 1017, introduced in responseto Anderson Seed Company’sinsolvency at the Redfield plant.This proposed law aims to betterregulate grain buyers and ware-houses. The bill was amended tohave the new regulations takeeffect April 1 rather than July 1(for newly passed laws). This is sothe law will be in place for thenext growing season. In anotheraction the Committee defeatedHB1007 by a margin of 7-6. Thisbill originated from the Agricul-ture Land Assessment Task Forceand was written to put a 30-yearcap on conservation easements.The measure was amended toallow for a 99-year cap. I voted tosupport the bill, but it was thendeferred to the 41st day, killingthe bill.

House Education Committeespent most of our two days on HB1087, referring to sentinels inschools. This is a bill that bringsemotions to the surface, yet both

sides did a good job of practicingrestraint as they testified or com-mented or questioned. The billpasses to the House floor (proba-bly will be heard this week) on an8-7 vote as amended. I opposedthe bill. Concerns about fundingthe training, determining what isadequate training, focusing moreon mental health issues, and get-ting insurance coverage wereexpressed.

HB 1091 passed 64-6 (my voteaffirmative). It requires retailersto post appropriate labels bypumps dispensing 85-octane fuelthat say, “May not be suitable forall engines. Refer to owner’s man-ual before fueling.”

Two House Concurrent Resolu-tions received my vote of consentthis week on the House floor.HCR 1001 is in opposition to cer-tain actions by animal rightsgroups to undermine agriculturalproducers (showing support andrespect for agriculture). It passed69-1. HCR 1002 urges the U.S.Supreme Court to revisit the Roevs Wade case and to overturn itsdecision. This affirms our pro-lifeposition. It passed 60-10.

Monday, January 28, is thedeadline for individual legislatorsto introduce bills and joint resolu-tions. Tuesday, the 29, is thedeadline for committees to intro-duce bills.

I am pleased to be the sponsorof three pages from our districtserving in the House presently:Landon Fanning, Kennebec; ErinMairose, Kimball; and EmilyWall, Chamberlain. They assistboth on the floor of the House andin committees. They make a dif-ference in keeping the legislativeprocess moving smoothly.

Mark these dates for CrackerBarrels being held this Saturday,February 2, 2013. Murdo SeniorCenter at 9:00 a.m. and Hutch’s inPresho at 11:00 a.m. Come andshare your ideas and concerns. Ifyour schedule is already booked,give me a call 730-1990.

Equal Housing Opportunity

HB 1113 matches up transparency, technologyby Tim L. Waltner

Remarkable technologicaladvances in recent years havechanged the way we do countlessthings. Phones once tethered towalls have become portabledevices that are now wirelesshand-held computers. Financialtransactions no longer requirecash, checks or, increasingly, plas-tic cards. GPS systems have madeasking for directions obsolete.Cameras no longer require film.

Technology has dramaticallyaltered virtually every aspect ofour lives. We communicate witheach other in ways that only a fewyears ago seemed to be science fic-tion. That has touched our person-al lives as well as the way we dobusiness. And that includes theway in which government oper-ates.

That reality led the Open Gov-ernment Task Force convened lastyear by Gov. Dennis Daugaardand Attorney General Marty Jack-ley to recommend including newmethods of communication in thetransparency and accountabilitythat are the bedrock of open gov-ernment. The result is HB 1113,which expands the definition ofteleconference “to include certainmeetings conducted through elec-tronic text colloquy and to requirethe retention of certain records oftext colloquy meetings for publicinspection.”

“Colloquy” is a legal-technicalterm meaning discussion. Don’t letthe word throw you; it’s simplyconversation. If an email goes outto the mayor and full city council,a school board or a county commis-sion and asks for them to reply tothe group, that’s a conversation. Ifthey were having that conversa-tion - all of them face to face - thatwould be an official meeting - openand public. But, as of now, if it’semail or text, it’s not public.

While the law already says thatteleconferences conducted by elect-ed officials are subject to openmeeting laws, elected officials cannow have a similar group conver-sation via email or text and thereis nothing that makes that conver-sation open and public. Commonsense says that’s just not right.

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

As the law now stands, the pub-lic is excluded from observing thatdiscussion. And while no official

action can be taken until the boardmeets in an official session, thediscussion that led to the decisionremains hidden from public view.The board meets, votes and sincethe entire discussion was conduct-ed by email, no one knows whatled to the decision; there's no offi-cial record of that discussion.

Common sense says that’s justnot right.

Elected officials have acceptedthe framework in which they dothe people’s business for decades.That includes notice of meetings,posted agendas and holding thosemeetings in public. It’s at theheart of how we function as ademocracy and as a republic.

A changing world requiresadaptation. That’s something the33-member task force, whichincluded representatives of newsorganizations, state officials, lawenforcement officials, prosecutors,and officials from cities, countiesand school districts, recognizedlast summer. That’s why it recom-mended including “electronic textcolloquy” in open meetings andrecords laws. And that is why thegovernor and attorney generalhave moved this legislation for-ward.

Speaking to newspaper editorslast week, Gov. Daugaard spokeabout the importance of this issue.When people think of teleconfer-ence, Daugaard said “You’re

thinking of someone on the phone.But if you’re texting each otherand you’re replying to all, really, ifyou think about it, that's no differ-ent. It’s just a different way ofchatting back and forth and thoseshould be subject to the open meet-ing notices and the texts wouldneed to be an open record.”

Gov. Daugaard clearly gets it.Now it’s up to our legislators.

The measure gained a slim 7-6approval from the House StateAffairs Committee last week andis headed for a vote by all repre-sentatives in the House. Contactyour representatives and tell themto vote yes on HB 1113. You cancall them at 773-3851 or you canfind contact information on theS.D. Legislative Research Coun-cil's website.

HB 1113 deserves full supportin the House and then the Senate.Regardless of technologicaladvances and forms of communica-tion, the principle of open and pub-lic debate is critical. Our legisla-tors need to know that we, the peo-ple, expect nothing less than fullsupport to maintain that ideal.

It’s a matter of common sense.

The Clinical View• Dr. P.E. Hoffsten •

What is mild cognitive impairment (MCI)? Part 1

The 72-year old gentleman wasvirtually brought to the clinicagainst his will by a concerned sonwho felt that his father was nolonger safe to live on the farm. Thefather proudly bragged that hewas born and raised on that farmand he was going to die there. Hiswife had passed away severalyears ago and the patient lived byhimself still managing everyaspect of his life. The son acknowl-edged that his father still partici-pated in the spring planting andthe fall harvest and was felt com-petent to drive a very expensivetractor. The son acknowledgedthat his father seemed to be wellnourished, able to attend to activi-ties of daily living, maintain hispersonal hygiene. All the fatherdid was complain bitterly that hedidn’t need to see a doctor.

The son’s concern primarilyinvolved memory problems. Heindicated that his father frequent-ly forgot appointments, could notremember plans or conversationsthat the father and son had hadpreviously, no longer rememberedbirthdays, wedding anniversaries,etc and generally seemed apathet-ic and uninterested in events.

At this point, additional historywas obtained indicating that hisfather only took a Benadryl-con-taining sleeping preparation.There were no other medicationsused. He had not had any fallsthat were known. There was norecent trauma and no recent sur-gery. There did not seem to be anymotor function abnormality suchas a stroke might indicate. A phys-ical examination was done muchto the patient’s disgruntlementand was normal. Several laborato-ry tests were done including theVitamin B-12 level, thyroid func-tion test, basic liver and kidneyfunction tests, echocardiogramand a chest film. All examinationswere normal.

Obtaining this gentleman’scooperation was very difficult.There are several examinationsthat involve the patient cooperat-ing and trying to answer relativelysimple questions about the date,the time, year, where they are,what their address is, etc. Thesetests can be used to make an esti-mation of the patient’s mentalcapability. The patient initiallywould have nothing to do with“these stupid tests.” But eventual-ly, he and his son came to a peacewhen it was agreed if the gentle-man could reach a certain score onthis test, the son would “leave himalone.” So, one of the nursesadministered a test called the“Mini mental status exam” andthen a second examination calledthe Montreal Cognitive Assess-ment test. For those interested,these examinations can be foundon the internet. A perfect score onthese exams is 30 points. Thepatient obtained a score of 23 onone examination and 24 on theother which put him in the “mildcognitive impairment” group.

The son was very concerned andhad many questions at this point.The patient volunteered that hecouldn’t care less. He had takenthe silly exam and he would waitin the waiting room.

The son first wanted to know ifthere were reversible facets to thissituation. He was told that fortu-nately, the only product thatmight be contributing to thepatient’s memory loss was hisusing the Benadryl to help sleep.Specifically, the patient did notappear to be depressed. He had novitamin deficiencies and no hor-monal deficiencies that weredetected. His cholesterol was notan issue. His blood pressure wasnormal. He had never been asmoker and the patient was notdiabetic. There had been no recenttrauma. The only factor that wecould not be sure of was the quali-ty of the patient’s sleep. The poten-tial that there might be somethingwe could work on in that regardwas considered. But judging by thepatient’s uncooperative nature, hiscooperation during a sleep studydid not seem at all likely. Thus,the son was told that we did notsee a reversible cause for the mem-ory loss.

The second question had to dowith what to expect in the future.The son was told that with thistype of “memory loss cognitiveimpairment” there is an 8-15 per-cent progression likelihood overthe next five years. The son wastold that the prognosis is not at allpredictable on an individual basis.

The son then wanted to know ifthere were medications that couldbe helpful. There is one study inthe literature that suggests thatAricept (donepezil) might be somehelp. Multiple other studies havenot supported a beneficial effectfor Aricept with mild cognitiveimpairment. It might be notedthat the FDA has not approvedany drug that would be recom-mended for mild cognitive impair-ment.

At this point, I suggestedstrongly to the son that theBenadryl sleeping preparation begotten rid and that the patient berechecked in a month if the soncould talk him into coming back.

The next column will considerthe follow up of this gentlemanand his course.

It might be added here thatthere is a new medical serviceavailable in Pierre. It is called theMemory Diagnostic Center. It islocated at 200 East DakotaAvenue. The phone number is 945-0827. This medical group devotesitself to evaluating individualssuspected of having mild cognitiveimpairment and/or Alzheimer’sdisease. Their workup and evalua-tion is quite extensive anddesigned to find reversible causesfor individuals with memory prob-lems such as mild cognitiveimpairment.

Pending before President Obamais a true economic stimulus plan.Unlike the $833 billion stimulusbill that was loaded with pet proj-ects and wasteful governmentspending, this stimulus plan is pri-vately funded and would not wastetaxpayer dollars on yet anotherduplicative government program.Instead, this plan would bolster pri-vate sector job creation, would helpsecure America’s energy future,and would generate tax revenueand stimulate growth in SouthDakota and throughout the coun-try. This pending plan is theapproval of the Keystone XLpipeline.

While the benefits of the Key-stone XL pipeline are clear, whatremains unclear is why PresidentObama continues to delay this job-creating, domestic energy-produc-ing project. The pipeline, whichwould run through South Dakota,is expected to create an estimated20,000 jobs, and transport up to anadditional 830,000 barrels of oil perday to U.S. refineries. This $7 bil-lion project would not only stimu-late the American economy, itwould create hundreds of construc-tion jobs and generate new tax rev-enue in South Dakota.

Unfortunately, in January of2012, the president decided to playpolitics with this important eco-nomic project. Instead of determin-ing whether to move forward withthe pipeline, the president opted topunt the decision until after the2012 presidential election, furtherdelaying job creation and energyproduction.

On January 22, 2013, NebraskaGovernor Dave Heinemanapproved a new route through

Nebraska for the Keystone XLpipeline that avoids the environ-mentally sensitive Sandhillsregion. The new route wasapproved after the NebraskaDepartment of EnvironmentalQuality determined the pipelinewould have minimal environmentalimpact on the area.

Following the news of GovernorHeineman’s approval, I joined abipartisan group of 53 U.S. Sena-tors on January 23, 2013, in send-ing another letter to PresidentObama urging him to approve theKeystone XL pipeline withoutdelay. The letter encouraged thepresident to choose economic devel-

opment and American energy secu-rity, and to cease all further delayson the pipeline. After several politi-cal delays and four and a half yearsof environmental reviews, it is timefor the president to stick to thedeadline. Unfortunately, it does notappear that the Obama Adminis-tration’s State Department plans tomake a determination regardingthe environmental documents forthis pipeline until this spring orsummer.

I will continue to work with mySenate colleagues to push for thisbipartisan project to ensure we con-tinue investing in America’s energyfuture.
