Make-A-Wish grants Disney World trip for Blake Schmidt

By Karlee Moore Blake Schmidt, son of Amanda and Kraig Henrichs of Draper, was among nine other South Dakota children and teens to be awarded a wish trip from Make-A-Wish South Dakota for the months of February and March, 2013. Schmidt was joined by his parents and his sister, Layney, on his wish trip to Walt Disney World from March 15 to March 22. Schmidt was diagnosed with Menkes syndrome, which is a disorder that affects copper levels in the body, at age one. Schmidts mother, Amanda Henrichs, said that he had a rare, mild case of Menkes. The syndrome affects male infants, and is the result of a mutated gene which causes copper to accumulate at abnormally low levels in the liver and brain, but at higher than normal levels in the kidney and intestinal lining. Newborn screening for the disorder is not available, and usually early detection is infrequent. To date, there is no known cure for Menkes other than treating the symptoms. Henrichs said that since Blakes case is rarely mild, he would not worsen. Schmidt is five and in kindergarten. He is currently working on walking by himself with a walker, and is working on improving his speech. Henrichs said that he can now say some words. Schmidt and his family were awarded the trip through the request of his doctor in Sioux Falls. Henrichs said that Blake was ecstatic on the morning that they left for their trip. A limo arrived at their hotel to pick them up, complete with a red carpet. The family had the chance to visit Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios, Sea World and the ocean while on their trip. Henrichs said the best part of Magic Kingdom was the parade and the characters. She said that Blakes favorite characters were Jake in the Neverland and Mickey Mouse. She also said that he loved the sand and finding seashells when they visited the ocean. Make-A-Wish gave Blake an autograph book of the characters to remember his trip. He was also lucky enough to have Mickey Mouse sign his hat for him.

Murdo Lions Club hosts National Honors Society Honors banquet

by Karlee Moore The Murdo Lions Club hosted the annual National Honors Society Honors banquet for the NHS students of Jones County High School on Monday, April 15 at the Murdo Senior Citizens Center. Each NHS student was accompanied by a Lions Club member, and this year, parents of NHS students were invited to attend the banquet. The 2013 NHS members are advised by Katie Venard and include: Wyatt Walker, Philip Mathews, Becky Bryan, Melissa Montoya, Josh Daum, Greydon Shangreaux, Clayton Evans, Jackson Grablander, Travis Volmer, Cody Hight, Kalli Hespe, Madison Mathews, Shelby Bork and Kaylen Larsen. Pastor Ray Greenseth, Lions Club president, opened the banquet with a prayer after member Gary Sletto led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. Tradition followed next as each Lions Club member introduced the NHS student that they accompanied to the banquet, focusing on accomplishments as well as future endeavors. NHS students ranged in grade level from sophomores to seniors. From the introductions, the group learned that five aspiring engineers will be emerging from the group of students. Also, they learned that each student had an exceptional list of accomplishments and activities to be mentioned. Some introductions were short and sweet, and the NHS members learned that most of the Lions Club members had a sense of humor. Kip Kinsley introduced Dylan Kinsley and said, Dont hold the last name against him, he cant help that! while Bruce

Guest Speaker Keith

Venard caught Cody Hight off guard when he slipped cheerleading into Hights list of activities. David Geisler added a side note to speaker Keith Moore, Lyman County High School graduate, after his introduction and told Moore, These balloon decorations are blue and orange, try not to break them! His joke stemmed from an age old rivalry between Jones County and Lyman County sports. Dinner was served next by ladies from the senior center including: Donna Green, Mary Miller, Lola Anderson, Susan Moreland and Kathryn Patterson. During the meal, Brian OReilly

Moore from the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Lyman County High School graduate, addressed the Lions Club National Honor Society Honors banquet and encouraged the NHS members to be leaders in all that they do.

introduced guest speaker Keith Moore. Moore was part of the 1985 Lyman County basketball team that won the state tournament. Moore continued his basketball career at Northern State University in Aberdeen. He has both taught and coached, and was the director of the Indian Bureau of Education in Washington D.C. before moving back to South Dakota to work for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. OReilly joked about the personal rival between Moore and himself before turning the floor over. Moore started his speech by telling the group that the great thing about South Dakota is that it is like a big community. He said, By being involved activities, there arent many towns you can drive by that you dont know someone. He told the students that as South Dakotans, we all share a lot of the same values. He said that a rural South Dakota community background, along with the academic background these students have, will take them far in life. He had three words for the students to remember. The first being convictions. He told the students to develop strong convictions. Moore said that as a state, and a country, we need young people with really strong moral and ethical issues that they can stand behind. He said that these students are the next generation of leadership. The second word to remember is courage. Moore said that we need leaders who have the courage to overcome fears that they might have for the future. The third and final word was fortitude. Moore said that along with fortitude, the students need perserverence, they need strength of their souls to push forward in what they believe in their lives. Moore then told the group that one thing starting to wane for us as a country is leadership. He said that everyone at that banquet was a leader. He encouraged the students to be strong leaders not only professionally, but also in their families and in society. Moore ended his speech by telling the students that he prays for them, and that he is thankful that in this state, we can have an event such as the honors banquet and open with prayer. Kinsley then addressed the banquet and announced the 2013 Lions Club scholarship winners, which included NHS member Melissa Montoya, and Wyatt Hespe. Pastor Greenseth then thanked the senior center for the food, and thanked everyone for coming to the banquet. He also reminded the group that the Lions Club city wide clean up will be held on Wednesday, April 24.

We need oil, said 2 old monks. So they each planted a small olive tree. LORD, prayed one of the monks, send my little tree rain so that its tender roots may drink and swell. Send gentle rain. The LORD sent gentle showers. LORD prayed the monk again, My tree needs sun. Send sun, I pray Thee.and the sun shone. Now LORD, send frost to make my tree strong, cried the monk.The little tree stood sparkling with frost. But at evening, it died. Then the monk went to visit the other monk. He wanted to tell about his sad, strange experiences with his tree. See, said the 2nd monk, my tree is growing well. But I trust God to take care of my tree. God who made it knows better than I what it needs. I do not tell God what to do. I say, LORD send what it needs --- storms, or sunshine, wind, or rain, or frost. Thou has made it and Thou dost know. In this petition, daily bread does not mean only food. It means everything we need in this present life such as food, clothing, home, Christian parents, and true friends. When we pray, Give us this day our daily bread, we say it like the 2nd monk, LORD send me what I need. Thou knowest what I need better than I do. I trust that Thou wilt supply my needs. In the Old Testament (OT) there lived a women who had her wants supplied because she trusted in God and His promises. She was a widow. She lived in Zarephath. There had been no rain in

Right on target After a challenge to shoot four of his five arrows in the center ring, Dylan Iwan (right) wanted to leave no doubt that he could rise to the challenge and put all five of his arrows there...not to be outdone by a fellow beginning archer, Emily Jacobs (below) did the same.

Zarephath for a long time. The people were starving. The widow only had a handful of flour and a little oil left. She was gathering sticks with which to make a fire when Elijah, the prophet, greeted her and said, Get me a little water, I pray thee, so that I may drink. As she was going to get it, he called after her, Bring me, I pray thee, some bread, too.then the widow answered, I have no bread. I have only a handful of flower and a little oil left. Just now I was gathering sticks to make a fire so I could make some bread. My boy and I were going to eat it. When there is nothing left to eat, we shall die. Elijah said to her, Fear not. Go and do what had planned. But make me a little bread first and bring it to me. Then afterward, make bread for you and your son. For thus saith the LORD, the jar of flour and the bottle of oil shall not become empty until the day when the LORD sends rain upon the earth. The widow believed Elijah. She trusted God to do as He had said. She took flour from her jar and made a little bread for Elijah. Then she made bread for herself and her son. God kept His promise. The jar always had flour in it. The bottle always had oil. Elijah, the widow and her son had the food they needed. (based on 1 Kings 17:816) With that we give thanks to God for answering our prayers for daily bread with includes moisture that is very much needed by all. We pray...LORD help us always to give thanks to You for all things. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Gone bear huntingThere is a lot of fun that goes along with team building during the four winter months of indoor shooting sports. Here, a makeshift 3D archery course was set up during practice. Instructors Norm Buxcel and Keith Hespe are seen in the background while archers Morgan Feddersen, Blaine Hauptman, Lilli Moore and Taylor Feddersen check to see who had the best shot on target.

The Teaching Of Self-esteem by 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 gainsayers. 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 influence 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 almost constantly 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 about yourself, 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 are of 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 balance and 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 concurred when 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. his old 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 in holiness and righteousness (Eph. 4:22-24). It is futile to improve ones self- image, especially since God abhors any attempt to do so. Rather, we are to conform ourselves 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, but every 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 highly 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 bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are Gods (I Cor. 6:19,20). Shall we permit the love of ones self doctrine to overshadow the love of God in Christ Jesus? God forbid! May God help us to stand against this insidious teaching that essentially robs God of the glory that is rightfully due Him.

Murdo Coyote The Clinical View

Dr. P.E. Hoffsten
The patient was a 42-year-old diabetic who somehow never got the message that he probably should take care of his diabetic condition. His blood sugars were infrequently checked and ran at 300 milligrams percent or more. He was supposed to be on insulin but acknowledges that he frequently forgot to use it. As often occurs with uncontrolled diabetes, the peripheral nerves in the feet deteriorated and he could no longer feel his feet. If one of his toes was moved, he couldnt tell which toe was moved or which direction it was moved in. Worse yet, he couldnt feel pain. That meant that when he got a blister on the bottom of his foot from an abnormal gait, he didnt even know it. Finally, he developed a blister which got infected. He didnt know that he had an infected blister until he noticed that one of his socks had a very foul smelling spot when he took them off at night. By the time he finally examined the bottom of his foot and saw the infected blister, he was in big trouble. The infection had already extended into the bone and needed to be surgically treated. Six weeks later after surgery and a prolonged intravenous antibiotic course requiring twice a day hospital visits, the ulcer on his foot did close and his foot was salvaged. Along the way, it was noted that he had MRSA. When this diagnosis was made, he was placed in isolation and visitors highly discouraged. At first, he was concerned about what all the commotion was with this MRSA thing and he wanted to know what MRSA is? I told him it was a long story. It begins with the concept of the germ theory in the 1800s when we first got the idea that most infections were caused by bacteria. By the 1900s, we had identified streptococcus and staphylococcus, two very common organisms on the skin and these were the most frequent causes of skin and soft tissue infections. A person with a boil or a pimple almost certainly had a staphylococcal infection as the basic problem. Much of the time, all one had to do was drain the boil or the pimple and the body would take care of the infection. But in many situations where the WHAT IS MRSA? persons immune defenses were compromised, the staphylococcal infection would progress, become systemic and cause mortality. A tragic example is the story of President Woodrow Wilsons 21-yearold son who was playing tennis and developed an ulcer on his heel. There were no antibiotics in the 1920s and that 21-year-old son was dead in three days from an overwhelming infection. In the 1930s, the first antibiotics were discovered as penicillin and sulfa. In the 1940s, these were the only two antibiotics that we had. During the 1940s and 1950s, the staphylococci evolved and soon many strains became resistant to penicillin. In 1959, the first special penicillin to kill resistant staphylococci was developed and licensed as methicillin. This was a form of penicillin that would kill staphylococcal strains resistant to penicillin G. But just as fast as scientists had worked out a special penicillin for resistant staphylococci, within two years of making methicillin available, staphylococci were already being isolated that were resistant even to the new special penicillin called methicillin. Over the last 50 years, the term MRSA for methicillin resistant staphylococci has become a household word. In 1960, less than one percent of staphylococcal isolates were resistant to penicillin. Currently, 50 percent of staphylococcal isolates in a hospital setting are resistant to penicillin and methicillin. Very fortunately, scientists have developed additional antibiotics since 1959 and there are very effective products available to kill methicillin resistant staphylococci in todays antibiotic armamentarium. But just as bacteria have evolved with genetically endowed antibiotic resistance, they have also evolved more poisons and toxins they can secrete to make infections much worse. Therefore, healthcare professionals have a special discipline and procedure to prevent spread of MRSA infections. To begin with, MRSA is spread by skin contact. Community use of towels, napkins, bedding or clothing, will spread the infection. Therefore, contact isolations such as the patient above is a pivotal part of preventing spread of MRSA. Secondly, alcohol continues to be a very effective surface disinfectant for MRSA. Thus when nurses or doctors examine a patient, it is recommended that an alcohol-based hand sanitizer be used before the next patient is seen. Thirdly, it was recognized that most MRSA infections come from bacteria that the person already has when they come into the hospital. Thus, preoperatively, a person receiving am orthopedic procedure such as a knee or hip replacement will have a total body scrub with a special soap containing something called betadine or chlorhexidine. Both of these are very effective in killing MRSA. When the person arrives in the operating room whatever MRSA was present have already been eradicated. It was originally hoped that MRSA could be eradicated through the above measures. But it turns out that, in fact, worldwide MRSA has evolved even where modern hospital and medical facilities are not present. An example is the Aborigine natives of Australia who have very little contact with the outside world, and yet when studies were done of the skin bacteria on the aborigines, it was found that they had already developed MRSA strains of their own even though many of them had never been exposed to an antibiotic. Thus, the concept of completely eradicating MRSA from our society does not seem to be a realistic idea. Rather, preventive measures in high susceptibility groups and vigorous treatment of any MRSA suspected infection remain the backbone of treatment. To close this column, the diabetic gentleman mentioned above did get to go home with his foot intact after a six week ordeal of going to the hospital twice a day for intravenous antibiotics. Whether he will be able to keep his foot will depend whether or not he gets the message that he needs to inspect his feet at least daily and deal with abnormal weight-bearing sites or any blisters or any breaks in the skin with vigorous and adequate interventions. In todays world, MRSA infections can be controlled in most people, provided the infection is diagnosed early enough and with appropriate antibiotics. OWNERSHIP CHANGES CAN IMPACT FSA PAYMENTS If you create corporations, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships and trusts as a part of your estate plan it can affect your FSA program payment eligibility for farm program payments. Jamie White, executive officer with the South Dakota Farm Service Agency, says that changing an operation that is owned/operated by an individual to an operation that is owned/operated by an entity requires determinations be made and contracts/ applications be executed in the name of the entity.

Aquariums leave SD Discovery Center

The SD Discovery Center and Aquarium is now the South Dakota Discovery Center (SDDC). The beloved aquariums that helped put the center on the map and influenced their environmental programming are being removed this weekend. The board of directors of SDDC, in consultation with their long-time partner for the Aquatic Resources exhibit, the SD Game, Fish and Parks Department, made the decision to remove the aquariums. In 1990 the GFP funded the installation of the Aquatic Resources exhibit. After 23 years of service, the mechanical parts are wearing out and the pipes would need replacing. We have a number of people who stop in to see our aquarium,says, SDDC executive director, Kristie Maher. When they see it, they are visibly disappointed. Aquariums have come a long way in 23 years visitors expect something more natural-looking, or more like the saltwater aquariums they have seen. The SD Discovery Center & Aquarium signs will need to be replaced as funding is available. The name of the organization has already been legally changed. Though it is a bit sad to have the aquariums go, the available space offers potential for new ideas and improvements. This summer we are going to test that area as classroom

Which changes must be reported to FSA? Producers requesting FSA benefits must report any changes to their farming operation that would affect any determinations of eligibility for participation in a FSA farm program. Situations such as owning and operating land as an individual and changing to an entity (i.e. corporation, LLC, LLP or trust) must be reported to ensure records are up-to-date and that contracts and applications can be executed in the name of the producer(s) entitled to earn the program benefit. Failure to accurately represent a farming operation affects eligibility and benefits. Benefits erroneously paid to an incorrect person or entity as a result of an invalid contract/application requires a refund of the payment or benefit received.

2013 ACRE SIGNUP ENDS JUNE 3, 2013 DCP and ACRE signup for the 2013 crop year started on February 19, 2013. The DCP sign-up period will end on August 2, 2013 and the ACRE sign-up period will end on June 3, 2013. The 2013 DCP and ACRE program provisions are unchanged from 2012, except that all eligible participants may choose to enroll in either DCP or ACRE for the 2013 crop year. This means that eligible producers who were enrolled in ACRE in 2012 may elect to enroll in DCP in 2013 or may re-enroll in ACRE in 2013 (and vice versa).

space,says Maher. There is need for a classroom that offers improved handicap accessibility, has better aesthetics, and has more convenient access to the outdoors. If it works well, it could be made into a permanent classroom. New or changing exhibits could also go in the space. Maher notes that the board, staff, and partners such as the GFP, have discussed other ideas as well. These ideas range from creating a new environmental education section with water tables and a giant cottonwood tree to a space for a sciencebased preschool. Its exciting to hear the ideas that people have for the space and know that one of them will happen, says Maher.

South Dakota Bar Association announced that Experienced lawyers answering phones in Sioux Falls and Rapid City will answer questions on a wide range of legal issues. Each call is anonymous and we urge the public to take advantage of this fine service, added Linda Lea Viken, coordinator for the West River portion of the project.

Lookin Around
Syd Iwan
Ive had to be on my best behavior all week. Weve had ministers dropping by right and left. One wants to give a good impression and all that. This might include keeping your clothes hung up instead of draped around on the furniture. Naturally, if you have any whiskey bottles or poker chips lying about you might want to put those under cover. Actually, we never have any whiskey bottles or poker chips to worry about, but you get the idea. As a kid, I remember my mom always hiding any decks of cards that were visible when a certain minister came to call. Im not sure if the reverend was against all cards or maybe just gambling, but Mom wasnt taking any chances. The folks were avid whist and bridge players, and Dad played many other games including cribbage, five-hundred etc. I couldnt see much wrong with those activities so hiding cards seemed a bit odd to me. I always chuckle when I think of one local fellow who got a visit from his priest. This guys normal speech was liberally sprinkled with swear words. He barely said anything without adding some curses for emphasis. Anyway, in the presence of the priest, he was barely able to talk for fear of saying the wrong thing. He got through the visit by saying very little, but he was fairly tonguetied all through it and he wasnt a quiet man by nature. This is somewhat similar to seeing a police car when youre out driving. You just naturally slow down whether or not youre speeding. You might even cast around in your mind for any other possible violations of law that might be noticeable. In this area, we are somewhat prone to making Uturns in the middle of Main Street in order to park in front of a certain store instead of across the street from it. This is frowned on in some towns so seeing a police cruiser might inspire us to drive around the block so we can park where we want without making a U-turn. One local store has a parking lot across from them so I have found myself sometimes going into that lot, turning around, and driving across the street to park in front. Im not exactly sure if that is more lawabiding than making a Uee, but I do it anyway. By one local town on the Interstate, experience has taught me that the Highway Patrol likes to sneakily park between lanes just over one little knoll. That way, you dont see the patrol car until it is too late to reduce speed if necessary. It catches a lot of people unaware if you go by the speeding tickets published in the paper from time to time. Naturally, when I am in that area, my speed is strictly within the limit which it mostly is anyway, but occasionally Im going a mile or two faster than what is allowed. All of this behavior modification is naturally geared to making a good impression on someone or other. We want them to think well of us, and many women especially want their houses shipshape before having visitors. I recall when it was Moms turn to host Ladies Aid (church womens group,) she would often enlist my help in vacuuming, dusting, washing windows and the like. It was important to her for things to look nice so I didnt object all that much to helping, but I was also relieved when it was over so I could go back to not worrying about being extremely tidy all the time. The best thing to do, obviously, is to always live in such a way that there is nothing objectionable in your behavior or lifestyle to worry about. Sometimes that is tricky, of course, so we have to occasionally make last minute corrections. Better yet, just associate with those people who like you as you are and are somewhat blind to your faults. They shouldnt be completely blind since friends sometimes need to help you steer a better course, but somewhat blind. The other evening, our minister asked if he could catch a ride back to his home after a meeting at the church since his wife needed their car to take someone else home. I said, Sure. Just give me a minute to clear out the beer cans. Gary just laughed and said, I wont look. That really is what is needed. Friends who dont look, or, if they do, still think the best of you and like you anyway

Award recognizes landowners who exemplify outstanding stewardship

Sand County Foundation, the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association and the South Dakota Grassland Coalition are proud to announce The Guptill Ranch as the recipient of the 2013 Leopold Conservation Award, which honors South Dakota landowner achievement in voluntary stewardship and management of natural resources. Having grown up on a farm, I know how precious the land is to South Dakotans who owe their livelihoods to our natural resources, said South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard. Farmers and ranchers, such as the Guptill Family, take great care to maintain those resources for generations to come. Guptill Ranch in western South Dakota is a 7,000-acre cattle operation near Quinn. Pat and Mary Lou Guptill have owned and operated this family-run ranch for the past 25 years. With their five children, they are caretakers of this special landscape in western South Dakota. The area features grasslands with rolling hills and a main wooded creek running through the ranch. In 2000, as their children grew older, the Guptills decided to make changes to lower production costs and enhance the health of the land to make the ranch better and bring their family home. Innovation and change have been beneficial to the operation, according to Pat Guptill. The more we change, the more we learn, Guptill said. We hope we can help other producers bypass all the mistakes we made along the way to make their operations work. Our goal is to make the land better for future generations. The foreword to A Sand County Almanac, Aldo Leopold's environmental classic, points out, When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. You are unlikely to find agriculturalists elsewhere in our United States who exceed the Guptill familys use of land with love and respect. said Brent Haglund, president, Sand County Foundation. The $10,000 award and a crystal depicting Aldo Leopold, will be presented to the Guptills at the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association's Annual Convention in December. The ranch will also be featured during a ranch tour this summer. The Leopold Conservation Award is presented in honor of renowned conservationist and author Aldo Leopold, who called for an ethical relationship between people and the land they own and manage. Award applicants are judged based on their demonstration of improved resource conditions, innovation, long-term commitment to stewardship, sustained economic viability, community and civic leadership, and multiple use benefits. The South Dakota Cattlemens Association is proud to recognize the Guptills for implementing responsible stewardship practices on their ranch and working to best

Madness will soon be found on Main Street

Theres something to be found for every age when Main Street madness hits during Murdo in May on Friday, May 10 from 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. Art contests, hula hoop swing, maybe a little canned country music for your listening and/or dancing pleasure. And a flea market or vendor fair, whichever youd like to call it, will feature at least this many companies--Lemongrass Spa, Scentsy, Pampered Chef, Kams Treasures, Kaylas jewelry, Thirty-one, Watkins, Wild Things, Clever Containers. On the south side of the senior center, Iverson Innovations will be out with an exciting display of fabulous creations. If the weather permits and other folks have things to sell, display or trade, sidewalk tables are welcome. There may even be an appetizer to be found at the up and coming Jones County Farmers Market. The highlight of the afternoon is the annual car show on Main Street. Peel off the tarps, air up the tires and bring your treasured vehicle in to show off. So whats a fair without food? The Turner Youth Foundation will be serving up goodies and there is a rumor about that pie and ice cream or something like that might be available for dessert over at the senior center. Kids up to age 9 can pick up coloring sheets for the contest at the Murdo Coyote office or Corkys on Main Street.

The May 10, 2013 deadline for the EPA Spill Prevention Control and Containment (SPCC) regulation is rapidly approaching. Facilities that have capacity to store more than 1320 gallons of diesel, fuel oil, gasoline, crop oil, used oil, and/or animal fat in 55 gallon containers or larger need to complete a SPCC plan and install secondary containment for these containers. Producers who have total storage of less than 10,000 gallons can self-certify or employ a professional engineer to complete their plan and design their secondary containment system. Those with storage of 10,000 gallons or more must hire a professional engineer. If you have storage capacity for more than 1320 gallons of petroleum products, and do not have secondary containment for those containers in place, it is not likely that you will be able to do so by the May 10, 2013 deadline. It is recommended that you proceed as soon as possible to install secondary containment, but in the meantime, go ahead and complete an SPCC plan. If you choose to self-certify, you can download a Tier 1 Qualified Facility SPCC Plan Template from the EPA website: http://www.epa. gov/emergencies/content/spcc/tier1 temp.htm. A Tier 1 facility must meet the following criteria: total aboveground oil storage capacity of 10,000 U.S. gallons or less, no aboveground oil storage containers with capacity greater than 5,000 U.S. gallons, and no discharges of oil in the 3 years before the SPCC plan is certified involving a single discharge greater than 1,000 gallons or 2 discharges of oil each greater than 42 gallons within any 12-month period. Fuel/Oil Storage Regulations If your facility has total oil storage capacity of less than 10,000 gallons and either have a storage container with a capacity greater than 5,000 gallons or have had one or more discharges of oil as outlined above, it is classified as a Tier 2 facility and must comply with those criteria. Tier 2 reporting requirements and procedures are outlined at: http://www.epa. gov/emergencies/content/epcra/tier 2.htm. Your SPCC plan does not need to be sent to anyone, but must be complete, updated if you make changes to your oil storage facility, maintained in terms of scheduled inspections, and on file, readily accessible if an inspector asks for it. Storage containers with a capacity of 55 gallons or more must be included in the total storage capacity, even if they are not being used. Storage containers can be taken out of service if specific procedures are carried out. This can be helpful for operations that no longer use these containers, and may allow them to drop to the Tier 2 category and not need to hire a professional engineer, qualify as a Tier 1 facility if putting a 5,000 gallon tank out of service, or even drop below the 1,320 capacity level and not need to complete an SPCC plan.

South Dakota reports salmonella outbreak associated with baby chicks

South Dakota is reporting an outbreak of salmonella associated with baby chicks. Three cases have been reported in the southeastern part of the state and one in the southwest. One case was a child younger than four; the others were adults. Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection and one of the most common causes of gastroenteritis. The bacteria are widely distributed in the food chain and environment and often contaminate raw meats, eggs, unpasteurized milk and cheese products. Poultry, swine, cattle, rodents, songbirds, and pets such as iguanas, tortoises, turtles, terrapins, chicks, dogs, and cats, as well as humans, can carry the bacteria. Children are especially susceptible because they frequently put their fingers into their mouths and because their immune systems are still developing. Pregnant women, the elderly, people with HIV/AIDS and other immunocompromised individuals are also at higher risk. Symptoms may include mild or severe diarrhea, fever and occasionally vomiting. Bloodstream infections can be quite serious, particularly in the very young or elderly. Take the following precautions to prevent salmonella infection: Dont let kids under five handle poultry or items contaminated by poultry. Other high risk groups

by Senator John Thune Former Governor George S. Mickelson is a tough guy to forget. Twenty years after the tragic plane crash that claimed his life, it is still easy for those of us who knew him to tell stories about his striking personality and his zest for life. As the son of former Governor George T. Mickelson, George was instilled with a strong sense of community and a great belief in the impact of servant leadership. It was his larger than life personality and passion for our state and public service that that so impressed me while I was working in Pierre during his tenure as governor. Throughout that time I had the privilege of serving as his State Railroad Director, and through our work together we became friends. I was inspired by his leadership and because of his example and guidance was encouraged to later run for public office. Georges passion for building communities led to his legacy in South Dakota as a job creator and champion for economic development. During his time as governor, George spearheaded the creation of the Revolving Economic Development and Initiative (REDI) Fund in the Governors Office of

Noem weekly column: Tax season
by Rep. Kristi Noem The month of April can be an exciting time for many South Dakotans. Spring sports are in full swing and the weather typically warms, although we all know that South Dakota hasnt been too lucky this year. April also means that individuals, families and businesses across the state are filing taxes. April 15th, the tax deadline, has come and gone. It takes the average taxpayer approximately 13 hours to prepare to pay taxes and nine of out of every ten taxpayers are forced to hire a professional or buy software just to prepare their taxes. According to the Tax Foundation, 100 percent of the money American workers earn from January 1st to April 18th, a total of 108 days, will go to pay federal, state and local taxes in 2013. Tax Freedom Day, the day on which Americans will start working for anything besides taxes, falls on April 18th. In contrast, Tax Freedom Day in 1900 was January 22nd nearly three months earlier. This is a troubling trend for too many Americans. Taxpayers are working longer to pay their taxes and finding it increasingly difficult to comply with the tax code. It is time to take meaningful action to simplify our current tax system and create a process that is fairer to American taxpayers. This is why I was proud to recently cosponsor legislation that is a step in the right direction. The Seniors Tax Simplification Act of 2013 would replace current tax filing procedures that create unnecessary paperwork for senior citizens with one simple form. This bill would create a new 1040SR form, much like the 1040EZ, to allow for easier filing when including income from Social Security benefits, investments, retirement plans, annuities and capital gains and interest. I think of people like my grandma, Arlys, and other seniors who have worked for decades and shouldnt have to spend hours in front of a computer or money on a tax service for a process that can feasibly be boiled down to a single form. More often than not, the federal government has a tendency to make life more complicated for families, but this is one way we can offer just a little bit of reprieve to seniors during tax season. While I continue to support comprehensive tax reform which would make it easier for all taxpayers, this common-sense legislation for our seniors is a good place to start. Our tax system is broken and too complicated. It represents a continuation of the tax-and-spend policies from Washington that are not the answer. A simpler tax system will put our country back on a path to create jobs and put more cash back into the pockets of hardworking South Dakotans. I also want South Dakotans to know of a recent announcement from the Internal Revenue Service. Due to widespread power outages from the recent winter storms, the IRS will be providing penalty relief to anyone who was unable to file their taxes on time due to these storms. If you receive a penalty notice in the mail, please contact the IRS or my office and we would be glad to assist Sioux Falls, 605-275-2868; Watertown, 605-878-2868; Aberdeen, 605-2622862; Rapid City, 605-791-4673; Washington, D.C., 202-225-2801 or toll-free at 1-855-225-2801.

Economic Development (GOED). The REDI Fund was created to help diversify South Dakotas economy, increase capital investment, and create lasting jobs for hard-working South Dakotans. The governors vision and the hard work of GOED has allowed the REDI fund to leverage more than $200 million in new capital investment and has created more than 30,000 South Dakota jobs. Georges community development didnt end with economic advancement. It was during his time as governor that South Dakota entered into the Year of Reconciliation with the tribes across the state. The governor wanted to mend broken relationships with the tribes and ignite constructive dialogue to bring healing between the state and Indian Country. Kimberley and I will always remember Georges friendship, mentoring, and passion for improving communities throughout South Dakota. His legacy will live on in the hundreds of projects he touched, lives he impacted, and businesses he grew while he was governor. On this 20th anniversary of his passing I encourage all South Dakotans to join me in celebrating the life of one our states most esteemed public servants.

SHIINE seeks local volunteers

The South Dakota Senior Health Information and Insurance Education (SHIINE) program is currently seeking volunteers for all aspects of the SHIINE program. One of the primary functions of SHIINE volunteer is to help seniors with their Medicare questions. Volunteers receive training on all parts of Medicare and learn how to provide one-on-one Medicare counseling. Volunteer counselors are vital to the success of the program, as they provide opportunities for seniors to discuss their Medicare questions and concerns in person. All services are unbiased and confidential. Although volunteers are most active during Part D (prescription drug) open enrollment in the months of October, November and December, they are needed yearround. If becoming a volunteer counselor isnt for you, please talk to your regional SHIINE coordinator about other ways to contribute

Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) and Congressman Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) today introduced legislation that would save $30 billion over 10 years from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by eliminating loopholes, waste, fraud, and abuse, while ensuring those who meet the current income and asset eligibility requirements continue to receive the benefits they need. Since President Obama assumed office, participation in SNAP, which was formerly referred to as food stamps, has increased from 32 million to 47.8 million people, and annual spending on SNAP has doubled to $80 billion in fiscal year 2012. Over the next 10 years, SNAP is projected to cost taxpayers almost $760 billion. The Streamlining the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Act would eliminate $30 billion of needless spending over 10 years and target assistance to those who need it most by making eligibility requirements more credible, eliminating duplication, closing loopholes, and making benefit administrators more responsible for program integrity. Our bill would eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in the food stamp program, while ensuring a strong safety net for hungry families in greatest need, said Thune. Since President Obama came into office, SNAP participation has increased at 10 times the rate of job creation, the annual spending on SNAP has doubled, and one in seven Americans now participates in SNAP.

families by maintaining system integrity and reducing waste in the system. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to move this common-sense legislation through Congress in the Farm Bill. By closing loopholes, cutting waste, and eliminating fraud and abuse in SNAP, we save taxpayers $30 billion and make sure that families in need still receive a helping hand, said Stutzman. Everyone in Washington talks about deficit reduction but weve introduced a real, responsible plan to save taxpayer dollars. Over the past decade, SNAP spending has doubled as this program outgrows its original mission of providing temporary assistance. This is a common-sense start for Congress Farm Bill discussions as we look for ways to tackle Washingtons nearly $17 trillion debt. The Thune, Stutzman bill would limit the automatic qualification of an individual for SNAP benefits due to enrollment in other low-income programs, known as categorical eligibility to only those individuals receiving cash assistance. Additionally, their bill would close a loophole that allows states to send small energy assistance checks to SNAP participants in order to increase SNAP benefit payments, eliminate duplicative training programs and state performance bonuses, improve the quality control measures to ensure states are more aggressively penalized for improper payments, and reform the nutrition education and obesity program. This bill would not affect current benefit levels for SNAP recipients, but instead saves money by ending duplicative programs and holding states accountable for accurate program administration.

Joe Moore roadhouse or Mrs. Ingrams hotel?

Other history follows:

by Lonis Wendt Recently discovered vintage 1904-1906 newspapers, circa the Moore Coyote, whose byline reads; Established at Moore, SD in 1904, have brought a renewed interest to an important chapter of Lyman Co. history. Moore, SD, which first appears on SD maps in 1891, was located in Sec. 6, T105N R78W, of Moore Township, in the Authier pasture, along the south bank of Medicine Creek, about 2.5 mi. east of Vivian. These photos, taken 4/5/2013, show what is still visible at the memorable, old Moore PO/store, hotel and printing office. There are three depressions, one is quite large, (probably the hotel), one is quite deep, (possibly the cistern) and, the site was apparently fenced out at one time, as there is a single post left standing, but found two others which had rotted off and were lying in the grass, they appeared to have had anchors as there are wires protruding up which held deadmen. There are several large flat rocks lying somewhat scattered which, probably served as part of the foundation. In studying the old Black Hills to Chamberlain freight and stage road survey map, it appears to have served this PO and hotel. The old trail served as the Interstate for the early pioneers. Following the Milwaukee Railroads original lot sale, July 12, 1906, Moore store owner Joe Moore, who, the town and township were named after, and, who had been appointed Postmaster on June 30, 1891, quickly moved the PO/store into the new town of Vivian. The building, which served as Vivians first Post Office/store, was later sold to Joe Morrissey, whose daughter, Anna, became Postmaster in July of 1909 and the Morrissey family continued the Mercantile business. The Moore Coyote Print shop was sold to Melville Burnham of Murdo, who immediately hired homesteader, GT Williams, and his hired hand to move the building to Murdo. This adventure, requiring two large teams, took two days. The Moore Coyote became the Murdo Coyote(still the same name today, edited by Karlee Moore) The original building, though quite small, was used a few years before being replaced by a larger building. Legend has it that the door on the printing office was of a 32 width, but the printing press, (probably assembled piece by piece in the building) was about 40 therefore it was easier and more practical to move the entire building with the press inside.....no mention of any price or for the cost to have it skidded to Murdo. The fate of the Roadhouse/hotel is not documented. Probably moved or disassembled. Related stories in the old Moore Coyote newspaper reveal that; the hotel was full nearly every night, and, that there were days when 20-25 team and wagons/horsemen/stages passed by every hour, many stopping for food or water. One particular day, Mrs. Ingram, who operat-

Orville Hall, Vivian stands in Moore, SD depression

ed the hotel/caf, counted 200 wagons having passed or stopped. During those earliest years, nearly every settler would have been making 3-4 day trips, requiring overnight stays, when hauling lumber for a house or barn from the railhead at either Presho or Chamberlain. All of us can appreciate the infallible work of those original newspaper editors, who gave us a priceless record of Dakotas formative years, salted with a dash of gossip.

Hillsview Golf Course to open this Saturday

Almost two years after it was closed due to the Missouri River Flood, the Pierre Hillsview Golf Course is scheduled to finally open for play starting at 8 a.m. Saturday. Golf Manager Carin Hayn says the driving range will re-open Thursday morning. She says that will happen once temperatures get into the high 30s or 40s on that day.

Joe Moore moved this building from Moore, SD on the day of the lot sale in Vivian, July 12, 1906, later sold to Joe Morrissey.

Opening the golf course has been a long-awaited event for local golfers. The course closed late in the spring of 2011 when the flood began. The course was closed all last year for flood repairs. Hayn says while this months snow has delayed the courses opening, the moisture has helped the course. The driving range had been opened earlier this month before the snow hit.

South Dakota Child Identification program event in Rapid City

Attorney General Marty Jackley and the South Dakota Masons want to remind parents and guardians of the upcoming South Dakota Child Identification Program (SDCHIP) event: family to be kept as an identification kit in the event that a child becomes missing. This kit will aid law enforcement in the recovery of a missing child. The program is offered to the public at no charge. SD CHIP is a comprehensive child identification program designed to assist in the event a child becomes missing, said Jackley. The Masons should be commended not only for the creation of this important program, but the time put forth to volunteer and administer the program throughout South Dakota. Agencies who assist in the implementation of the program include: Masonichip International, South Dakota Academy of Physician Assistants, South Dakota Sheriff s Association, South Dakota Dental Association, South Dakota Highway Patrol and the Attorney Generals Office. For more information please visit www.sd-chip.org.

For many of us the months of April and May are thought of as the months for planting, nurturing, and growing flowers and gardens. It is also a time when we should be cultivating and flourishing our support for our military personnel, our veterans, and their families. April is the month of the Military Child and May is Military Appreciation month. Both months provide us great opportunities to remember, recognize, and appreciate those who have served in the past and those now serving, as well as their families. National Military Appreciation month includes: Loyalty Day (5/1), Victory in Europe Day (5/8),

Larry Zimmerman, Secretary of Veterans Affairs

Military Spouse Appreciation Day (5/10), Armed Forces Day (May 18); and Memorial Day (5/27). Each of those days provides an opportunity to learn more about military members and the families who have given of themselves to support the principles we hold dear and the freedom we enjoy. Over 16,000 South Dakota men and women have deployed since 911. Heroes, who set aside their personal lives and safety, to defend and protect our families, our communities, and our nation from those who would threaten our way of life. Many of these troops will continue to serve. Others will return to the civilian population and we need to support them during their transition from military service to civilian. Please keep all the deployed and their families in your thoughts and pray for their safe return home. Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in the Open House at the Operation Black Hills Cabin in Custer, SD. This project, founded in 2011, by a retired military couple demonstrates South Dakotas commitment to our military personnel, our veterans, and their families.

SD Veterans Affairs

With over 100 businesses in the Custer area working together to provide a vacation home for qualifying wounded veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns and their families, they have demonstrated their commitment to our veterans. With over 70,000 veterans in South Dakota, it is important that we cultivate, nurture, and grow this type of leadership and generosity. Thus improving the lives of our veterans.

Tight hay supplies and high prices to continue

South Dakota hay prices have been at high levels throughout the 2012 marketing year. Based on numbers from the National Agricultural Statistics Service, March alfalfa prices were at $230 per ton and have remained steady for several months. The March price for other hay reached a record high of $170 per ton. Usually, such high prices result in a shift in production and use. However, other commodity prices and input costs are higher too, said Matthew Diersen, South Dakota State University Extension risk/business management specialist. He added that looking at this year's hay prices by adjusting for inflation shows that prices are also at record-high levels on a real basis. Despite a price index, with 1982 as the base year that has doubled in recent years, the real price of hay in South Dakota had not been above $70 per ton during the past decade, Diersen said. The last peak in real prices happened in the 2002 drought year when the price reached $79 per ton. Diersen said 2013s record rates are due to in 2012, South Dakota producers had expected to harvest 3.5 million acres of hay; and higher expected returns for other crops and drought conditions combined to reduce harvested acres to only 3.1 million acres. To top that off, yields were low, limiting supply. The result was that price increased to the high nominal levels and a real price of $100 per ton, he said. Price prospects continue to favor sellers over buyers. Fall dis-

Non-profit seeking families for hosting cultural exchange students

ASSE International Student Exchange Programs (ASSE), in cooperation with the local high school, is looking for families to host boys and girls between the ages of 15 to 18 from a variety of countries; Norway, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Japan, to name a few. ASSE students come with an enthusiasm to practice their English and experience American culture -- food, sports, shopping and more. They also love to share their own culture with their host families. Host families welcome these students into their family, not as a guest, but as a family member, giving both the students and families a rich cultural experience.

In addition, ASSE students have pocket money for personal expenses; and full health, accident and liability insurance. ASSE students are academically selected onto the program, and host families can choose their students from a wide variety of backgrounds, countries and personal interests. To become a host family or to find out how to become involved with ASSE in your community, please call our ASSE Midwestern Regional Office at 1-800-736-1760 or go to www.host.asse.com to begin your host family application. There are many students to choose from, so begin the process of welcoming your new son or daughter into your family today!

appearance was unusually large leaving a stocks level on December 1, 2012, of only 4.3 million tons. The stocks level was the smallest since January 1, 1977, following the 1976 drought, Diersen said. He said current stocks are also similar to the levels in late 1989 when there were only 3.35 million head of cattle in South Dakota inventories. On January 1, 2013, there were 3.85 million head. Diersen said modeling historic stock levels and winter use gives competing views of just how little hay may be left in South Dakota. Usually, much of the hay produced in South Dakota is used for feed and not sold. As part of the collective feed inventory, one could take the December 1 stocks and use them evenly over the remaining six months of the feeding year, Diersen said. He shared an example: on May 1 only one-sixth of the December 1 4.3 million tons in inventory may remain, or only 0.72 million tons. Most years, producers try to maintain a surplus over that level. Likewise, high prices may mean some hay that was raised for onfarm use enters the marketing channel, he said. Factoring in the high price level actually forecasts a negative stocks level for May 1. The high real price would normally result in sharply higher hay acres in South Dakota. Solid expected returns for other crops and the presence of revenue insurance have limited hay to an expected 3.1 million acres. Diersen said a tight old crop supply, low expected production for 2013 and no difference in the national picture combine to suggest high hay prices will continue for the 2013 marketing year.

Farmers Union calls for action during Regional Watershed Task Force testimony
South Dakota Farmers Union (SDFU) joined over 100 farmers and ranchers Monday at the first meeting this year of the states Regional Watershed Advisory Task Force at Mitchell. The task force was set up in 2012 to look at the states water management laws and study the issue from a number of perspectives. At the meeting Monday, task force members heard from experts on climate and water issues and a number of county commissioners from areas affected by too much water over the past four or five years. The task force also took public testimony on the impacts of water management and sought ideas from farmers, ranchers and the public. Water is a precious resource not only for agriculture but for other important industries and every citizen in South Dakota, said South Dakota Farmers Union board member and Salem-area farmer Jim Wahle. Our water must be properly managed. Wahle called for specific action from the task force after they study the issue and possibly settle on legislation to deal with water management issues during the next legislative session. We need to continue the cleanup of existing statutes pertaining to drainage water district, Wahle said. Wed like to see the task force determine whether or not county commissioners should be compelled to be an active drainage board under state law, and whether there should be a process to require specific permits for all drainage, both surface and tile, on a specific permit that applies to all of South Dakota. Wahle also asked the task force to consider whether drainage permits and mapping should be required by anyone wanting to drain their land and whether or not records should be kept at the county level. State Climatologist Dr. Dennis Todey from South Dakota State University gave a presentation on precipitation in the upper Midwest and how its had an impact on water management in the state. He also discussed climate patterns and presented data on temperatures and how they affect evapora-

tion. The task force also heard from Dr. Chris Hay from SDSU who discussed the impacts of drain tiling, runoff and other water management practices. State Conservationist Jeff Zimprich from the Natural Resources Conservation Service discussed how soil types, cover crops and grasses deal with water. There were also presentations from Clark Moeckly with the Upper Crow Creek Watershed District and county commissioners from Brown, Kingsbury McCook and Yankton counties.
