and outside of the classroom, said Jim Hegarty, president and chief executive officer of the BBB. Even though the BBB is commonly known for alerting the public to current scams in the marketplace, giving business reviews and handling consumer complaints, we feel that the Student of Integrity Awards take the Better Business Bureau and its Foundations dedication to education to an even higher level. We hear all too often that there is an ethics crisis among our youth. That we have to get our kids unplugged and address a better way of living. That may be true for many, but there are also some every bright lights that are doing wonderful things in their schools and in their communities, and this gives me great hope for the future. In fact, for the past several years, the Better Business Bureau Foundation has annually received several hundred applications from students all over our service area, stated Hegarty. The BBB Student of Integrity Awards were established to honor the memory of Mr. Mecham, a former BBB president and to nurture future ethical business leaders. An independent panel of judges, consisting of teachers, school administrators and guidance counselors selected the Winners. The scholarship Winners will be formally recognized at the BBB Integrity Awards Luncheons in October and on the BBBs website at bbb.org. Next year, Lindsey will be attending Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska where she will be majoring in biology and business while also taking classes that are part of Creightons pre-dental curriculum. After her undergraduate studies, Lindsey plans to stay at Creighton and attend its Dental School where she will pursue to become a dentist.
Hendrickson wins 2012 BBB student of integrity award Chapman calls special town board meeting
A special Town Board meeting was called to order at 8:30 pm on Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Earlier that afternoon, Tracy Buer called Juell Chapman, President of the Town Board, at three oclock in the afternoon with information about a possible street improvement opportunity. Tracy reported to Juell that the construction company was done grinding on the White Butte Road and was wondering if the town wanted to hire the company to do some grinding on some of the streets in town. The Board called the meeting to order that night because the company could only work for ten hours on Wednesday because they had another job Thursday morning in North Dakota. All five Board members were present along with Beth Hulm, Financial Officer, and Tracy Buer County Road Supervisor. Tracy reported that the cost of hiring the company would include a $550 mobilization fee to move the equipment into town, and then a $650 per hour work fee. The contractor said it would take him about an hour to move the equipment into town, and he would not charge a mobilization fee to move out of town when the job was done. The work fee included the work crew, asphalt milling machine, and a water truck to keep the equipment from overheating. Asphalt milling is the process of grinding up asphalt that can then be recycled and packed to make a road. The initial intended route of construction was East Carr Street by the school all the way east to the stop sign. The road in question is about one third of a mile long. The contractor quoted that it would take his crew about three swipes across the road with a seven foot wide milling machine, and would take him around two to three hours to complete. Three other streets were also considered for construction. A question was brought up by a board member asking if the construction work would make the street dusty all summer. Tracy answered that the street would be packed down hard as a rock. Another concern from the Board was if the ground up asphalt and continued on page 3

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) Foundation has announced that Lindsey Hendrickson of Meadow has been named the 2012 Scott Mecham BBB Student of Integrity for South Dakota. She will receive a $2000 scholarship. Lindseys greatest strengths are her exemplary self-motivation, her integrity and her leadership. I would rank Lindsey in the top 1% of students I have encountered in the areas of academic motivation, potential to succeed and maturity, said Shawnda Carmichael, Bison High School guidance coordinator. BBB Student of Integrity
Awards are presented annually to six high school students for demonstrated ethical behavior and character: two from metro Omaha/southwest Iowa, two from metro Lincoln/greater Nebraska and two from South Dakota - the geographic area served by the BBB. Unlike many other scholarships, grades, financial need and ethnicity are not major factors in the selection of a Student of Integrity. Lindsey won this prestigious award because of her personal integrity and commitment to honesty and accountability inside

Tatanka RC&D strives to keep going

The Tatanka Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) council officers meeting was held on Thursday, June 14th at Moms Place in Bison, SD. Arnold Schott, President; John Hetzel, Vice Presand Ray Lenk, ident Secretary/Treasurer met to discuss the status of Tatanka RC&D, a current project and what to look forward to in the future. There was much discussion to stay active, and the officers decided to stay involved by attending the State RC&D meetings. They also determined it was important to stay informed on what is happening in the RC&D world. Cindy Hulm informed the officers that there is a listserv called the westernrcd@yahoogroups.com, which discusses current issues within the Western RC&D and National RC&D organizations. Hulm stated it would be a good idea to have the officers, and any others who wanted to stay informed, participate in the listserv by signing up to receive their emails. At the meeting, the Tatanka RC&D officers adopted the MultiCounty Weed Educational Tours project, which will serve three different counties: Corson, Perkins and Harding. The $3,000 grant will be used to purchase weed identification books and to spray area weed test plots for informational tours. The weeds they will focus on are yellow toad flax, leafy spurge and worm wood. Each county will receive $1,000. Cindy Hulm informed the officers of the White House Rural Council that was developed by the Obama Administration six weeks after the RC&D program was cut from government funding. The White House Rural Council was developed to strengthen rural communities by promoting economic opportunity, creating jobs and enhancing the quality of life for those who live in rural America. According to the White House Rural Councils press release, dated June 9, 2011, The White House today announced the establishment of the first White House Rural Council. While rural communities face challenges, they also present economic potential. To address these challenges, build on the Administrations rural economic strategy, and improve the implementation of that strategy,
the President signed an Executive Order establishing the White House Rural Council. Interestingly, this Council and its agenda are very similar to the RC&D program that was cut. The Tatanka RC&D officers discussed the White House Rural Council development, and it appears this Council is not controlled locally like RC&D was. The meeting concluded with reports from different agencies. Allen Voller with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) reported that the Secretary of State is moving forward with the office consolidations. The offices in Campbell County, Harding County, Jackson County and Jerauld County will be closed in 2012. Voller stated that the Harding County office will close its doors on July 28th. Tatanka RC&D would like everyone to know they are still determined to be an active 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. If you have any projects in your area that Tatanka RC&D might be able to provide assistance to, please contact Arnold Schott at 605-8234942.
Local families needed for cultural exchange students

ASSE International Student Exchange Programs (ASSE), in cooperation with the local high school, is seeking local families to host boys and girls between the ages of 15 to 18 from a variety of countries around the world. Students come with an enthusiasm to practice the English language and experience American culture--food, sports, shopping, and more. They will also share their own culture with host families. Host families need to 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, students have pocket money for personal expenses; and full health, accident, and liability insurance. Students are academically selected in to 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 Midwestern Regional Office at 1-800-736-1760 or go to www.assehosts.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!

Ida Schmidt: Person of the Week

of the Abilene Hustlers 4-H Club in Thomas County, Kansas. My mom and dad still reside in Kansas. I graduated from Kansas State University with a Bachelor Degree in Animal Science and Industry. I live in Prairie City, and I am engaged to Eric Sander. We are planning a wedding for next summer. Occupation Ida is a South Dakota State University 4-H Youth Advisor for Perkins and Harding Counties. Hobbies Her hobbies include working with livestock, spending time with her two Border Collies Tara and Miley, crocheting, and reading. Something Unexpected When asked about something interesting or unexpected, Ida replied, I have AI-ed (artificially inseminated) over 20,000 cows. I worked for the AI stud Genex for five years and bred cows on a 4,400 head dairy and a 13,000 head heifer grower. Favorites Idas favorite things include: pictures, kid goats, seeing calves out in the pasture with milk noses, and anything in the color purple. Her favorite food is mashed potatoes with brown gravy. Idas favorite season is summer. When asked her favorite thing to do everyday Ida replied, Talk to my dogs Tara and Miley. Idas favorite thing to do during a winter storm is read a book with a big cup
Special meeting
The Bison Courier is starting a new article that will feature various people from around the Bison area. Each week a new person will be selected and interviewed so that the community can get to know him or her better. If you have a person you would like to nominate or know more about please contact the Bison Courier at 605-244-7199. This weeks person of the week is Ida Schmidt. Childhood and Family When asked about her childhood and family Ida replied, I grew up on a livestock farm in Northwest Kansas. I am an only child and I was a 10 year member
of hot chocolate. Favorite summer activities for Ida include: long outdoor walks, beautiful flowers, and growing up as a Kansas kid during wheat harvest. Memorable Moment I'll never forget the time my mom and I went to check cows in a really old manual transmission pickup. The pickup died right as we were getting to the top of a really big hill. We ended up rolling down the hill backwards at around 30 to 40 miles per hour. My dad watched the whole thing and said he did not know how we stayed upright. Influences Someone who has greatly influenced my life is my Stepdad. He gave me the passion to love all livestock which influenced my life in a big way, as I went on to major in animal science in college said Ida. Ida spent a large amount of time with her fraternal grandmother growing up, and was taught the art of crocheting. Someone Ida admires is her mother for her, hard work and dedication to me and to raising me right. Advice Ida believes that something everyone should get to experience once is visiting Washington, DC and Gettysburg to experience the rich history of our great nation. Person of the Week, Ida Schmidt
continued from page 1 gravel would blow off the road and create pot holes. Tracy replied that, putting the gravel on the road would be part of building the road up. We would put enough gravel on there to build up the road itself and also build up the shoulders instead of digging up the ditches and the grass, why not just haul material in on it. All you would have to do is work a roller or blade back and forth and spray the road with a little water then pack it until you get your road the way you want it then leave it for a week or two and sweep it off and you will have a new road. Another concern was if the Storm Sewer Project were it to cost more than expected if there would be enough money to fix both the sewer and the town streets. The Board also kept in mind the Dump Retaining Wall Project costs. The 2012 Town
Budget did not include the money generated by the two cent extra town sales tax. It is estimated that the town sales tax has produced approximately $100,000 a year since its start in 2008. The money cannot be used this year, but if incorporated into the budget, it may be used next year for town road construction. After 27 minutes of discussion, Juell asked for a motion to either approve the road construction or to move to dismiss the proposal. There were no motions brought forward. Another item brought up was the possibility of applying for a grant for road construction. The grant award is up to $500,000 to repair main roads such as school routes and grain elevator routes around the main businesses in town. Further information will be brought forward at the July meeting. At approximately 9:40 p.m. Juell adjourned the meeting.

Fruit Vinegars Part II
Previously we talked about making fruit flavored vinegars that you can quickly make and use over a couple months, this week we will give you the method of making the long lasting flavored vinegars that will keep on the long term. Not only can you enjoy them all year long, they make wonderful gifts. This particular method features strawberries but you can experiment with other berries and probably come up with the same wonderful results. Place four cups of fresh hulled strawberries in a food processor or blender and puree, put in a large glass bowl. Add four cups of white wine or regular white vinegar, and one tablespoon of grated lemon peel. Now crush one fourth cup basil leaves with a wooden spoon until the aromas release then stir into the strawberry mixture, repeat this process until you have crushed about a cup of loosely packed basil leaves, each time adding to the mixture. The basil adds a wonderful zest to the vinegar but is optional if you are not a fan of basil. Experiment with your favorite herb. Cover the bowl and let stand in a cool dark place for two to three days, stir once daily. Line a strainer with four layers of cheese cloth or a coffee filter and strain into large saucepan, do not press the fruit, discard the solids. Heat the vinegar mixture to 180 degrees over medium heat, do not over heat or you lose flavor and aroma.
Ladle hot vinegar into sterile pint or half-pint jars leaving headspace (1/4 inch), wipe rims, apply lids, then boiling water process for 12 minutes, if you live higher than 2300 ft. add one minute for every 1000 ft. This vinegar is delicious used as is on fresh garden greens or make the vinegarette by combining one part to one part oil. Try the vinegarette on fresh spinach tossed with fresh strawberries and walnuts! You can also make herbed vinegars as well as fruit vinegars. Herbed vinegars make great gifts and will last for over 6 months. Use approximately 3 sprigs of herbs for

each 16 ounce bottle. Try using thyme, oregano, rosemary, chives, tarragon or fennel with different vinegars to make all kinds of variations. If you use purple basil, the vinegar will taste great, and be a lovely shade of purple! You can also experiment with different types of vinegars such as white wine, red wine, cider, or white distilled. Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. ~Lao Tzu

Students from ages eight to 18 from across South Dakota converged in Philip June 19 and 20 to take part in the annual Rangeland Days and Soils Days. Students were given a chance to practice their skills Tuesday at a pasture northeast of the contest site. That evening some of the students gave speeches and had their range displays set up for judging. Wednesday morning, the group traveled to a pasture owned by Cliff Poss south of the Cottonwood Range and Livestock Research Station west of Philip.

Range monitoring and research outlined -------------------by Nancy Haigh Range monitoring and research studies were discussed with attendees at the Rangeland Days and Soils Days west of Philip June 19 and 20. South Dakota State University and National Resources Conservation Service personnel presented information and discussed the findings and applications. The adult program was held at the Cottonwood Range and Livestock Research Station. Mitch Faulkner, NRCS rangeland management specialist from Belle Fourche, spoke about the usefulness of monitoring rangelands. By monitoring rangeland the producer can see how his/her management practices affect vegetation and the soil. The first step is to determine your objective, Faulkner said. The objective could be increasing ground cover, changing plant species or their frequency, wildlife habitat, riparian conditions, or how livestock utilize the area. The sites should be recorded at the same time each year to keep an accurate record. The time of year would be based on a producers objectives. Faulkner said if they are monitoring for plant vigor, or studying plants in general, early to midJuly would be an ideal time. But if looking for the amount of forage cover then September or October would be best. Faulkner stressed the use of photos in recording the sites. He said it is easy to forget exactly how a site looked when the monitoring first started. An overall landscape picture of the site should be taken and, if desired, a closeup of the ground can be taken. He suggested when doing the ground shots, take several along a 100 foot length and place an object in the picture for scale. Notes also need to be taken each time the site is checked. In addition, data such as precipitation for the year, infestations and temperatures should be included. Janna Kincheloe and Ken Olson, both based out of Rapid Citys West River Ag Center, spoke about rumen fistulated steers which SDSU will use for grazing and nutrition research. Kincheloe, a research technician, explained that personnel will manually empty the rumen and then the steers will be sent out to graze. She explained that this will allow the researchers to remove the matter, see the availability of feeds and what plants the steers are selecting. The grasses are then returned to the rumen for digestion. Also, by removing matter from the rumen the researchers can check the microbes bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Kincheloe noted that each type of microbe helps break down the fibers, starch and fats in the feed and they also produce enzymes which further aid in digestion. Kincheloe said the steers will be moved to McLaughlin and placed in a pasture that has a heavy prairie dog infestation. The study will check to see if the steers will graze the fresh sprouted grasses around the prairie dog town or if they totally leave that area alone and find grazing elsewhere. Attached global positioning system units will also help track where the animals graze. Olson, a range beef specialist, and Kincheloe took the group through the cannulating process. The animals are not harmed by the process in which a veterinarian surgically installs the cannulas. The animals are closely watched until the area heals, at which time they are placed on pastures. Roger Gates, range specialist at the WRAC, took the group south into bordering pastures to review grazing efficiency and profitability of pastures. Gates noted that an ongoing stocking rate study has been conducted since 1943. The study focuses on low to high stocking levels, which then reflect excellent, food and low-fair range conditions, and how each level affects the profits on each animal. Gates said grasses in the range conditions varied due to the grazing intensity. The high intensity areas tend to buffalo grass and blue grama and other warm season grasses. The lower stock rate pastures tend toward western wheat grass and other cool season grasses. Focusing on the study between the years 1969 to 2002, the net income on range in excellent condition, income averaged $9.31 per acres, good condition at $11.86 and low-fair at $11.18. Gates said that the college has always promoted the excellent range conditions, but most producers utilize the good or low-fair, because they stock the area in high quantities which are more profitable to him. In those same groups the average daily weight gain for the groups reflected those animals on the excellent range condition pasture gained an average of 1.61 pounds per acre; good were at 1.69 and low-fair at 1.56. The Long-Term Production and Profitability From Grazing Cattle in the Northern Mixed Grass Prairie report of the study stated, Over the 34-year period of the study, real profit ... steadily increased ... for the low-fair and good treatments while it remained basically level for the excellent treatment. It is difficult to speculate as to the cause of these differences, but it is important to note that the profitability of the low condition pastures, which had the heaviest stocking rate, did not decline over time, it actually improved. In our 34-year study, rangeland managed to maintain either lowfair or good range condition was equally profitable. Profit for both steadily increased over time. Excellent condition rangeland was the least profitable to maintain and profit remained stable over time. These results are consistent with generally observed rancher behavior concerning range condition decisions. Range scientist Pat Johnson introduced a new study at the station involving native bird habitat. Johnson said the proactive study is designed to be a jump ahead of any possible bird threaten status and also to see if the use of livestock grazing can help with their habitat. Steers were placed in eight patches within the same pasture. Water is supplied in the center of the pasture so as not to be an issue. Two animals in each patch have been fitted with GPS units that record their location every 65 seconds. Personnel at the Cottonwood station monitor the height of the grasses, record found nesting sites and how they are in relation to grazing and weight gain on the steers. The study is still in its first month, but Johnson is excited

The Lords Prayer Sixth Petition, And lead us not into temptation. Matthew 6:13a "Temptation" is any situation that leads us to false belief, despair, or shameful sins. The devil tempted Eve into false belief. He led her to believe that God was unloving when he gave them the command not to eat from a certain tree. Satan argued that God was really withholding a great blessing from them. If only they'd eat the forbidden fruit, they would be like God. All they had to do was disobey his Word. The devil also tempted Judas with riches, which caused this chosen apostle of the Lord to fall from his privileged position. And once he had betrayed Jesus, the devil retained his victim by convincing Judas that there was no forgiveness for the great sin he had committed. Judas was so full of despair that he took his own life. And the devil comes with his temptations to lead people into great and shameful sins. He tempted King David to commit adultery, which led to the murder of an innocent and unsuspecting husband. Satan skillfully uses the sinful attractions of this world to help him accomplish his evil intent. He persuades people to pattern their moral lifestyle according to society rather than the high standard of God's Word. Satan also knows that the cravings of our sinful nature are very powerful and with the right temptation at the right time, he may be able to lead us into sin. So Jesus teaches us to pray to our heavenly Father, "Lead us not into temptation." Let's not misunderstand this petition. God doesn't tempt us. James writes: "When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone" (James 1:13). God doesn't lay traps for our faith so that we might fall from faith and lose eternal life. Rather, God tests our faith. He tested Abraham telling him to sacrifice Isaac to test if Abraham loved God more than Isaac. Abraham passed. It is God's will that we overcome the temptations of the devil, the world and our own sinful flesh. Therefore, we pray in this petition that God would give us the power and strength to resist temptation so that Satan and sin will not control our lives and bring us to eternal death in hell. God strengthens our faith by his powerful word to help us defeat temptation. The apostle Paul urges us to "take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one" (Eph 6:16). The Roman war shield was covered with leather. Before battle, soldiers soaked their shields in water. Those water-soaked shields defended the soldiers from the enemy's flaming arrows. Likewise we soak our faith in the living water of the Word to defend ourselves from evil temptations. God, our gracious Lord, assures us that temptations will not be too great. Paul writes, "God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it" (1 Cor 10:13). We pray: Guard and protect me, heavenly Father, against the temptations by the devil, the world and even my own sinful nature so that I might not fall into sin and be in danger of losing my faith. Strengthen my faith with the power of your holy Word, the Bible, to preserve me in my eternal loving relationship with you through Christ. Amen.

about early data. Johnson said this preliminary study will be used to apply for grants so further research can be conducted. Olson discussed the high sulfate water trials that had been conducted at Cottonwood. Producers had contacted the college regarding livestock health issues which led the specialists to the problems of high sulfate concentrations in dams, especially during dry years. He stated no solution has yet been found for the problem. One thing that was found is that there seems to be a genetic disposition to the level the animals are affected by the sulfates. He noted that after drinking water with sulfates, the sulfates turn into hydrogen sulfide, a gas, in the rumen. The gas then affects brain tissue, creating polio-like symptoms and in some cases death. The change to hydrogen sulfide is caused by a bacteria, he said, so focusing on the bacteria may be an avenue. As of now there are no plans for further research regarding sulfate water.

Area native coming home to practice medicine Dr. Josh Ranum to begin seeing patients July 2
as a resident in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Monday evening and will be practicing internal medicine (focusing on adult Especially as a hospital-based doctor I have seen the difference of how really knowing your patient can make a difference in their health care. If you dont personally know them, know how they act and are when they are healthy, as a doctor you end up doing more testing, procedures and consultations, he said. By developing a good relationship with his patients, he will be able to treat his patients in the most prudent manner possible, with minimal cost and inconvenience to them. One of the things about being a physician is the chance to be employed anywhere, he said. And we cant wait to get home and start working in Hettinger. Ranum will be seeing patients at the West River Health Clinic in Hettinger on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, in Lemmon on Tuesdays and Mott on Thursdays. Traveling to the other clinics is something all the partners do and one of the things the folks who started the Hettinger Clinic had great vision about, starting the satellite clinics, he said. Ranum also has a special connection to Lemmon, as his grandparents were from there. Without us going to the patients in the smaller towns, they have no doctors at all. Im excited about the chance to fill in and help outbe a physician in those communities that may not otherwise have one. Ranum said it is a tremendous honor, almost a sacred responsibility, to be an integral part of someones life as their doctor. Its the moments you can really help someone see them through the various life stages that make up for all the government red tape and paperwork that goes with the job too, he said. Ranum married during medial school, and his wife, Carrie, is in her residency to become a pediatrician. She will be starting her residency at West River in July and August, and full time in November. The couple has an 18-monthold daughter, Clarke, and a second baby due in August. Ranum will begin seeing patients July 2. Appointments may be made by calling West River Health Clinic appointment desk at 1-800-445-6021, Hettinger at 701567-6104, Mott at 701-824-2391 or Lemmon at 605-374-3773.

Reprinted with permission from the Adams County Record By Jamie Spainhower Record Editor Josh Ranum knew growing up in Scranton he wanted to be a doctor, and the 2000 Scranton High School graduate has fulfilled his dream, as he will be practicing in Hettinger, Mott and Lemmon working for West River Health Services. Growing up in Scranton I always planned to return to the area and practice rural health care, said Dr. Ranum. I really like the people, the patients the area and life style. He said some of the benefits of the big city offer opportunities to get detoured along the way, with conveniences like 24-hour grocery stores, but When I get back to Southwest North Dakota I feel like Im home and more comfortable, he said. Hettinger is an excellent example of how rural health car can, and should be, he said. People have access to good health care, and I am excited to be a part of that, and carry on the traditions of excellent health care in North Dakota, said Ranum. He went to college in Jamestown, finished at North Dakota State in Fargo and went to medical school in Grand Forks. Ranum finished his last rotation

We got just over a tenth of an inch of rain this week, a hot wind blew every day, and the fire danger is listed as high for all of the western Dakotas. The dry conditions, constant wind, and the grasshopper infestation bring to mind the stories our parents and grandparents told about what they commonly called The Dirty Thirties. Most of us are getting a little hay put up, but nothing like we got the last couple years. Too bad so much of that extra hay was sold and shipped south to the drought areas down there. I listened to Joel Heitkamp interviewing Sen Larry Rhoden on his radio show Energy Matters Tuesday afternoon over KFYI 550. The show is also aired over Pierre KGFX radio 1060 at the same time - pretty interesting subject! Weve lost two more long-time residents of this area. Judy (Dale) Buer, 94, of Meadow passed away June 16th at the Good Samaritan nursing home in Mott. Judy and her husband Harold raised their three children on a ranch near Meadow. Her funeral was Thursday at Indian Creek Lutheran Church south of Meadow, with burial at the cemetery north of Bison. Sophia Bertie (Flaigg) Blomberg, 90, died last Friday at the Crook County Hospital in Sundance, Wyoming. Sophia was the widow of our neighbor Martin Bud Blomberg, who died in a car wreck in 1957, leaving Bertie to raise two young children and run the ranch she was born on near Hoover by herself. Her funeral was Tuesday in Sturgis with burial at the Hoover Cemetery. Sophias brother-in-law, Maurice Hamilton, will be celebrating his 89th birthday Sunday afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00 at Edgewood Vista in Spearfish. Hope to see you there!

Grand River Roundup..........................................................By Betty Olson

checking in at the High School Rodeo Finals in Belle Fourche. Thad was working in Wyoming, so he missed Tills birthday, but Angie put on a pretty nice party for him. A mountain lion was killed in a machine shed of Reservoir Road in Rapid City Saturday morning after it attacked the family dog. It's the second cougar shot in Rapid City in eight days. The other mountain lion was shot by police after midnight on Omaha Street on June 15th. Do you think there might be too many of these dangerous predators? I do, but the kitty lovers will make it hard to do anything about them until someone gets killed. On the bright side, a state wolf specialist in Montana says mountain lions have killed two radio collared wolves in the Bitterroot Valley since January. This brings up the same question I had when I saw a mountain lion killing prairie dogs on that big dog town over by LaPlant - who do I cheer for? Missy and Casey were in Belle Fourche all weekend for the state high school rodeo finals. Casey was hazing for several of the young bulldoggers and Bryce was a contestant. Reub and I went to the Black Hills Bluegrass Festival at the Elk View Campground east of Sturgis on Sunday and then went to Belle for the rodeo. Bryce missed qualifying for nationals in the barrel racing by one point, but Casey thought as bad as Bryces back is, this is probably a good thing. Not sure she agrees though! We talked to Eddie Humble at the rodeo and got the story about his son Clints horse wreck. They had a sick yearling so Clint roped it so Eddie could doctor it. Clint was riding a new horse and, for some unknown reason, the horse spun around and went to bucking, wrapping the rope around Clints head! Luckily, the rope caught on the side of Clints hat and caused it to slip off his head before it could wrap around his neck. Unfortunately, the rope caught on Clints nose, tearing both nostrils and ripping open his cheek before it slipped off. The doctor had to sew up both sides of his nose and his cheek, but Eddie said Clint is sore all over but hes okay, although he did lose his chew through that hole in his cheek! Remember when I locked my keys in the car in Spearfish a while back? Thats probably why Clark Blake sent me this: Several days ago as I left a meeting at a hotel; I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down. I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing. Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My wife has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. Her

theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the door, I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty. I immediately called the police. I gave them my location,confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen. Then I made the most difficult call of all, "Honey," I stammered; I always call her "honey" in times like these. "I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen." There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard her voice. "Idiot", she barked, "I dropped you off!" Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, would you please come and get me." She retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car." Yep, it's the golden years!

9-1-1 Surcharge to increase on July 1
The 2012 Legislature approved an increase in the traditional surcharge from the current 75 cents per month to $1.25 per month. That fee is collected by all monthly billed telephone and wireless service providers, such as CenturyLink, Verizon, Midcontinent Communications, AT&T, Golden West Telecommunications, Knology, Vonage and others. In addition, the Legislature also assessed the 2 percent 9-1-1 surcharge on all prepaid wireless services collected at the retail point of sale. That rapidly growing segment of wireless users includes such companies as TracFone, WalMarts Straight Talk service and others. The surcharge, a fee imposed in virtually every state, pays the cost of operating 9-1-1 public safety dispatch centers. In South Dakota, the Legislature first authorized a surcharge in 1989. The fee has been limited to no more than 75 cents per phone line per month since then. Thats 23 years without a funding increase in an industry that has changed almost beyond recognition in that time, said Ted Rufledt Jr., Chair of the State 9-1-1 Coordination Board. Revenue from the surcharge simply hasnt kept up with changes and rising costs of providing 9-1-1 service. Some of the additional revenue will be used to provide additional funding for the 9-1-1 centers, and some will be used to make the changes necessary to modernize 91-1 in our state. As of 2011, the 9-1-1 surcharge covered about half the cost of operating the system in South Dakota. Besides the need for additional revenue to support the existing system, funding was needed for South Dakota to update the 9-1-1 system to what is commonly called Next Generation 9-1-1. Most of the existing system is based on 1970s telephone technology. With the explosive development of wireless smart phones, 9-1-1 as it exists today isnt able to capitalize on the technology that wireless customers use every day. For example, citizens cant send a text message to a 9-1-1 dispatch center. They arent able to send photos or video of crimes or suspects directly to a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Those services would be possible in the Next Generation 9-1-1 system. The surcharge increase passed nearly unanimously (SB174) during the last legislative session. A portion of the increase, 25 cents per line per month is earmarked for Next Generation 9-1-1 and is scheduled to sunset in 2018. The State 9-1-1 Coordination Board plans to start updating parts of the 9-1-1 system in the next one to two years and to have all 9-1-1 centers on the updated system by 2018.

5 Creative ways to boost your energy and your mood in just 10 minutes!
Brianna Sexton and Kelsey Pierson
Father and Son, Tracy and Cody Buer
1. Get some sunshine. Use just 10 minutes a day to go outside and get some sunshine. Sunlight helps the body produce vitamin D which is important for good health. Sunshine can also improve your mood and help you sleep better at night. 2. T ake a walk. Take 10 minutes to get some fresh air and stretch your body. Walking will help fatigued muscles and decrease muscle discomfort from sitting at a desk all day. 3. Go Green...with tea that is! Instead of drinking coffee all day, take 10 minutes to make a cup of green tea. Green tea has the highest level of antioxidant which support health. Its also got caffeine, but not too much! 4. Listen to music. Music can really change your mood. Take three songs or you know will pep you up, and take 10 minutes to listen to them during your break. 5. Have some chocolate! Chocolate is a mild stimulant and has benefits from boosting memory to lowering cardiovascular risks. Plus it tastes good! Besides, 10 minutes a day cant add that many calories!
