New Corner Pantry on schedule

The Corner Pantry convenience store in Philip ison schedule of its rebuilding from the ground up. “We’re coming along pretty good. Haven’t had anymajor setbacks,” said Drew Poljansek, job foremanfor the M.G. Oil project. M.G. Oil Company is based in Rapid City. It is af-filiated with Corner Pantry, a division of conveniencestores throughout South Dakota. Originally, the spot was the site of a Phillips 66 fill-ing station. Howe Oil Company purchased the busi-ness from Dean and Janice Fitzgerald in 1994. Itthen became Boomers, a name that many locals still

use. In 2003, it became the Gas Stop. In June 2011,M.G. Oil Company purchased the convenience storeand renamed it a Corner Pantry. The malt beveragelicense was transferred from the former business tothe present one. The new building will continue to have a room des-ignated for casino machines. On top of that, there willbe an A&W restaurant, including a drive-up window. “Have a Sept. 22 deadline for the A&W to open.Will want the convenience store to be open then, too,or a day or two behind. As soon as the C-store is upand running, so will the pumps,” said Poljansek. By early next week, most of the C-store machineryshould arrive and be installed. Poljansek said the in-side wall area above the main doors will display a

Automatedvictim

information/notification

rollout Attorney General MartyJackley has announced therollout of the Statewide Auto-mated Victim Information andNotification (SAVIN) system. The goal of SAVIN is to cre-ate a notification system thatwill benefit crime victims andthose that serve them. TheSouth Dakota SAVIN system isa free, automated service thatprovides crime victims with in-formation and notification 24hours a day, 365 days a year.This service will allow victimsto get offender information andto register for notification of achange in offender status. Suchinformation may include im-portant hearing, trial or sen-tencing dates, as well aschanges in bond conditions orrelease from custody. “Serving victims of crimeshould remain a top priority inour state. The SAVIN systemwill help inform and protectvictims by making offender in-formation readily available,”said Jackley. “SAVIN will alsofoster greater transparencywithin the criminal proceed-ings by making public informa-tion more accessible,” saidJackley.

Jedediah Smith – the gentleman fur trapper Jedediah Smith carried a rifle and a Bible. When a fellow fur trapper died, Smith gave whatwas recorded as a “powerful prayr.” This powerfulprayer is considered the first recorded public act ofChristian worship by white men in South Dakota.It is commemorated on historical markers at theBay at Grand River Casino, near Mobridge. Depicting this act is a mural on the ceiling of theHouse chamber in the South Dakota Capitolpainted by Charles Holloway. Titled “The Peacethat Passes Understanding,” it is the largest muralin the Capitol. “It would be a mistake to view Smith as a rough-and-ready frontiersman in buckskin. He was adeeply religious person and cultured gentlemanwhom even the giants of the fur trade, Ashley, Fitz-patrick and William Sublette, respected and ad-mired,” according to “The Reader’s Encyclopedia ofthe American West,” edited by Howard R. Lamar. According to information on the historical mark-ers, Smith was, “a Methodist by faith, he carried aBible with him wherever he went…” Smith was born in Bainbridge, N.Y., in 1798 or1799, depending on the source. In 1822, Smith ac-companied General William Ashley on Ashley’s firstfur trapping expedition from St. Louis to the upperMissouri River. A year later, Smith was with Ash-ley’s second expedition up the Missouri River whenit was attacked by the Arikara near the mouth ofthe Grand River in present day South Dakota. Theattack left more than a dozen fur trappers dead, andthe rest fleeing for their lives. John Gardner was one of those killed. In “HughGlass: Grizzly Survivor,” James D. McLaird wrotethat before Gardner died, he asked Hugh Glass, an-other member of the party, to inform his parents ofhis sad fate. Glass did so, stating in the letter that,“Mr Smith a young man of our company made apowerful prayr who moved us all greatly and I ampersuaded John died in peace.” To avoid the river route, Ashley later split theparty into two groups and sent them overland to themountains from Fort Kiowa, located near presentday Chamberlain. Part of the party, including Glass, set out west forthe Yellowstone River. Glass was mauled by a griz-zly bear near the Grand River and left for dead.Glass’ story has been told in books, poetry and

movies. Smith led the other party west toward the Black Hills. The groupcamped the first night along the White River. In his book “Journal of aMountain Man,” expedition member James Clyman described the landas treeless and wrote that it took two days of thirst and starvation to

cross a large bend in the White River. When waterwas finally found, Clyman wrote that Smith “tookSome water and rode about 2 miles back bringing upthe exhausted men which he had buried in the sand.” They apparently entered the southern Black Hillsthrough the Buffalo Gap, an opening in the BlackHills where buffalo entered and left the high country.Smith and his men are considered the first white mento enter the region, according to “The Roadside His-tory of South Dakota” by Linda Hasselstrom. In what some sources report was in the vicinity ofWind Cave and others in the Powder River Basin ofWyoming, a grizzly bear surprised and mauled Smith,breaking some of his ribs and laying his skull bare.Smith asked Clyman to sew up his wounds, whichClyman did. The winter of 1823-24 was spent at the site of pres-ent-day Dubois, Wyo. Smith and his group learnedfrom a group of friendly Crow Indians of an easy passaround the southern end of the Wind River Moun-tains. Although South Pass had been used before bywhite men, its discovery was forgotten and Smith andhis party are credited for bringing South Pass to gen-eral knowledge. Smith was well on his way to becoming one of themost famous of mountain men. In addition to redis-covering South Pass, Smith was the first American toenter California from the east and return from Cali-fornia using an overland route. He opened a coastaltrade route from California to Fort Vancouver on theColumbia River. He filled in many of the missingpieces of western geography and demonstrated thatthere were feasible routes across the West to Califor-nia and Oregon. In 1830, Smith decided to leave the life of a moun-tain man. He sold his shares in his fur trading com-pany and bought a house in Saint Louis. He waspersuaded to take one more load of goods to Santa Fe,N.M., though, leaving in the spring of 1831. Smithwas killed by Comanches while riding alone ahead ofhis party trying to find water along the Santa Fe Trailnear the Cimarron River.

We had a “Jonah Day” last Sun-day at church. This is a term usedto describe a day when thingsdon’t go very well. It is namedafter Jonah of the Bible who wasswallowed by a whale and had allkinds of other trouble. In case you have forgotten thedetails about Jonah, let me refreshyour memory. God told him at onepoint to go to Nineveh and preachfire from heaven and general de-struction to the people there ifthey didn’t repent and changetheir evil ways. Jonah, however,didn’t want to go. Instead, he goton a ship and sailed the other di-rection. Well, it is never really agood idea to disobey God, andJonah had to learn that the hardway. God sent a storm that putJonah’s ship in real danger, andthe crew somehow knew it wasGod’s doing. They also discoveredit was Jonah’s fault, and, to savethemselves, they needed to throwhim overboard. They did that, andhe was swallowed by a whale.Three days later, the whale gotsick of him and spit him up on theshore. Jonah then decided, okay, he’dgo to Nineveh as directed in thefirst place. He preached fire andbrimstone, and the good people ofNineveh repented and turned toGod. This didn’t set well withJonah. He said that was why hedidn’t want to go in the first place.He knew God was compassionateand wouldn’t send the destructionJonah had said would happen ifthe people changed their ways. Inother words, he would look like afool when nothing he threatenedever happened. As a result, hewent out and sulked under the

shade of a tall plant which grewup to shade him. As the Bible says,however, God provided the plant,but “he also provided a worm.” Theworm ate into the shading plantand made it die so Jonah was sit-ting there sulking without shadein the hot sun. He was not pleased.Nevertheless, he had preached ashe was supposed to, and God’spurposes were accomplished. We can see, of course, thatJonah’s troubles were all of hisown making. First off, he dis-obeyed God. Secondly, he wasmore worried about his reputationas a powerful prophet who couldcall down destruction than he wasabout the poor people of Ninevehwho needed to turn to God. Thiswould then imply that a “JonahDay” is one where few things gowell or as planned. That was howyou could describe our day lastSunday at church. As it happened, Beryl was homefrom Wyoming, and, when she ishere, she helps supply the music.I asked her to play the piano whileI used organ settings on the syn-thesizer. Trouble was, I usuallyhave the synthesizer right by thepiano so I can use it while sittingon the piano bench. We couldn’tboth sit on the piano bench so Ipulled the synthesizer back whereI could play it while sitting on thefront pew. Unfortunately, pullingit back also somehow unplugged itso it wouldn’t work when I went toplay the intro for the first hymn.As a result, the first hymn wasslightly delayed until I hurriedover and plugged the thing backin. We were then back in businessexcept I didn’t get the settingsquite right until the second verse. Secondly, Pastor Gary had

brought the wrong bulletins forchurch. He had grabbed those forone of the other two churches heserves. This was no big deal as allhis services are similar except forthe hymn numbers. That is be-cause all three churches have dif-ferent hymnals so the numbersare different. As a result, we hadto look up the hymns in the indexand announce them instead of justhaving people get them from thebulletin. We could do that and didso although it caused a little con-fusion at first. Finally, during one prayer, Iwas fiddling with the hymnbooktrying to turn it to the next page Iwould need, and it accidentally hitsome button on the synthesizer.This button made the machineplay a sustained note fairly loudlyover the speaker system. Gary hadto pause his prayer while I quicklyswitched the synthesizer off. Afterthe prayer, I turned it back on,and we finished the service with-out further difficulty. Luckily, I have found that thecongregation doesn’t seem to getupset when things don’t go well orif I mess up and try to play toomany verses or start playing thewrong hymn. It, in fact, tends toamuse them and make themsmile. As a result, people seemedto be in a particularly good moodafter church on Sunday. They hadbeen entertained. I trust they alsogot some good out of the servicejust like the people of Ninevehwere helped by Jonah’s preaching.I am in hopes next Sunday will gobetter at church than last Sunday,but I won’t guarantee it. You’rewelcome to come and see howthings go. It might be fairly inter-esting. You just never know.

A Jonah Day

Olympics The Summer Olympics in Riode Janeiro, Brazil, runs from Aug.5-21. There are 42 sport disci-plines, with 306 events. The 19days of competition will yield 136medals for women, 161 for menand nine mixed medals. Boy, thismixed thing is going just too far. I am not competing this year,mostly because I cannot keepeach discipline separate. For ex-ample: I would be standing overmy defeated opponent in the fi-nals for judo and be disqualifiedbecause I mixed one second of taekwon do into my devastating at-tack. Imagine the confusion if thetop contender in badminton wasalso entered in table tennis aswell as nontable tennis; and triedto use the wrong racquet. Maybeit is just the wrong racket. And, Iwould hate to confuse table tenniswith ping-pong. The modern olympics started in1896, though the ancientolympics began over 700 yearsB.C. Can you imagine ancientGreek warriors competing inmodern beach volleyball, waterpolo or synchronized swimming?

The sports of archery, equestrianand fencing are reminiscent to aKing Arthur’s Court medievaljousting tournament. Under theknights’ shining armor, theyprobably did not wear the elabo-rate costumes as (almost) seen inthe modern diving competition.The armor might be too much of ahandicap in the swimming com-petition. Jousting for fish? Then there are the combinedcompetitions that obviously at-tempt to emulate my physicalprowess. Don’t settle for onesport, but mix them up. For thoseathletes who are limited in theircounting ability, there are indi-vidual competitions. For the lesssingular minded, there is thetriathlon. The more learned ath-letes go for the pentathlon. Brute can clash with poise;such as weightlifting and wrest-ing versus artistic gymnastics,rhythmic gymnastics and eventrampoline gymnastics. Can youimagine a Trojan gladiator or me-dieval knight on a trampoline?The violence of boxing can becounterpointed with a relaxingrowing or sailing event. The bluntforce trama of football and rugby

can be followed with a soothinground of golf. Would giving arugby player a golf club be a littlebit similar to hockey? Agility can clash with purespeed; as in canoe slalom versuscanoe sprint. If you really want tosplit hairs, you can compete in bi-cycling, with the choices of BMX,mountain bike, road and track.No matter the specific event, bicy-cling is still pedaling on a two-wheeled juggernaut until yourheart explodes. At least the marathon swim-ming would be easy to judge. Justfly the contestants 32 miles outover the ocean, then dump themout of the plane. Whoever makesit to shore is automatically in thefinals. Is desperation a sport? Then there is the controversy ofolympic sports versus profes-sional sports. Why can’t theChicago Bulls or the Harlem Glo-betrotters play olympic basket-ball? Why can’t mafia hitmen andmilitary snipers compete in theshooting events? Why can’t presi-dental candidates oversee thehonesty and fairness of the judg-ing? Why can’t the IRS confiscatea gold medal as income?

We count on the mail. I got the mail today. A couple ofbills. A greeting card. Some cata-logs. A newspaper. One packagethat my wife grabbed right away.

(Wonder what that was?) Lately, it occurs to me how com-pletely I take for granted that Iwill get the mail tomorrow. I’vehad my share of gripes about themail. As president of the NationalNewspaper Association, I havefielded our community newspapermembers’ postal concerns all year.The mail is slower than it used tobe. The United States Postal Serv-ice slowed it down by a day, atleast, because of financial prob-lems. Newspaper subscribers areunhappy because too often theirpapers are arriving late. Somelocal businesses have had prob-lems with cash flow because oflate mail. Still, I get the mail every daybut Sunday. Bet you do, too.

If you follow the news, you knowthe U.S. Postal Service is in trou-ble. Because so many people andbusinesses use the internet, thereisn’t as much mail to deliver. Butwe still expect the mail to come.At my newspaper, we look for it onSaturdays, too, because weekendmail is extremely important insmall towns like many in SouthDakota. (Congress consideredending Saturday mail, but thank-fully it has dropped that idea fornow.) Beneath the surface, however,we see seismic, economy-rattlingchanges ahead unless Congresscan pass legislation to lower thepostal service’s cost of doing busi-ness. It carries more than $50 bil-lion of debt on its balance sheet.Fortunately, there two bills thatwould do the job. The House bill,HR5714, is by RepresentativesJason Chaffetz (R-UT) and ElijahCummings (D-MD) and co-spon-sors Mark Meadows (R-NC), Ger-

Letters to the EditorSend signed letters to Pioneer Review, PO Box 788, Philip, SD 57567

ald Connolly (D-VA) and StephenLynch (D-MA). Passing these bills is easier saidthan done, but South Dakota Con-gresswoman Kristi Noem is in agreat position to understand theproblem. And, because she serveson the House Ways and MeansCommittee as a recognized fiscalconservative, she is actually in aposition to help. This is what the bills have to fix. A 2006 law imposed a require-ment to put advance funding intoa federal retirement health planfor postal workers. Other agenciesdon’t do advance funding. Theyare on a pay-as-you-go system.That requirement began to crippleUSPS within a year or two afterits passage. What the 2006 lawdidn’t do was relieve USPS of alsocontributing to Medicare for thesame workers, which many do notuse. So there are two plans formany workers, when only one isused. USPS has to double-pay,

which is another way of sayingyou double-pay every time youbuy stamps – for a total of about$29 billion now paid into the Fed-eral Treasury. The Chaffetz-Cum-mings bill would end thedouble-payment, which would befair to postage-payers and work-ers alike. Retirees would go ontoMedicare at retirement like therest of us do, and the other federalplan would provide only supple-mental coverage. The postal serv-ice would be relieved of the debt itis carrying from the 2006 law be-cause the funds would be com-plete. Sounds so reasonable, right?Why hasn’t it passed? BecauseUncle Sam likes keeping half ofthat double payment. Somehow,some think tanks inside the Belt-way (and I say “think” with mytongue in cheek) believe by endingthe double payment, USPS wouldbe getting a bailout. But it isn’t abailout. This is eliminating dupli-

cate payments to the federaltreasury that postage buyers canwell use in better ways. Saving this money may notmean much to you at a few pen-nies a pop for a stamp, but to busi-nesses, it is big money that couldbe used to create jobs instead oflining the federal treasury. Didyou know that the mail is respon-sible for 7.5 million jobs and $1.2trillion in the U.S. economy? Mail is important. But it has tobe reliable and on time. Unlessthis legislation gets through, mailwill get slower and eventually, wewon’t be able to take it forgranted. If you get a chance this summer,e-mail your members of Congressa note asking them to pass thesebills. Or better yet, send a letterby mail. Bet Congress takes thatmail for granted every day, too.

Thank a Farmer On Capitol Hill where very fewpeople were “farm kids” and evenfewer actually pursued farming orranching as a career, the personalimpact of agriculture can get lost.But as I remind people, while noteveryone farms, we all eat. At the Sioux Empire Fair’s an-nual Agriculture appreciationlunch in Sioux Falls, I said thanksby serving a meal to those whofeed the world. These producersgrow the food our families con-sume, and provide the backbone toSouth Dakota’s economy and alayer of security for our country. Ifight to make sure agriculture pol-icy provides a strong safety net forour food supply without imposingunnecessary costs and regulationson producers. The last farm bill was the mostreformed we have seen in my life-time. Many of the programs nowwork more efficiently and withgreater accountability to taxpay-ers, but we are always looking at

ways to improve them. Prelimi-nary work has already begun forthe next farm bill with formalhearings likely next year. I have been working with Agri-culture Committee ChairmanConaway to ensure he is aware ofhow current programs are playingout in S.D. I am also working withAg Committee ranking memberCollin Peterson and Representa-tive Kevin Cramer on legislationto have included in the next farmbill that would help alleviate theproblematic wetland determina-tions backlog. We need to ensurewe are protecting our land andhabitat, but producers should nothave to wait years for a decision.They should get an answer withina few months of a request. Overzealous regulators are alsoa challenge for producers. One ofthe most concerning regulationswe are fighting against today isthe US Environmental ProtectionAgency controversial Waters ofthe United States rule. This could

be one of the largest federal landgrabs our generation has seenwith penalties rising to more than$30,000 per violation per day. Weare working through both the leg-islative and judicial system to re-verse course and we have hadsome successes – especially after afederal appellate court issued atemporary suspension. Tax reform is another area im-portant to our agriculture commu-nity. This Congress, I gained aposition on the committee thatmajor tax reform measures mustgo through. Moreover, I am one ofonly 14 members of Congress –and the only one with a deep back-ground in agriculture – to serve onthe committee’s specialized taxpolicy panel. Late last year, we made the Sec-tion 179 tax deduction permanent,giving farmers and other smallbusinesses more certainty on in-vestments into their operations.Now, we are looking at broader ef-forts to help both small businessesand individuals. We are fightingto make the tax code more simple,more fair, and better at promotinghealthy economic growth.

Freight Rail: SouthDakota Depends On It

It doesn’t matter if you’re thefarmer in the field who harveststhe crops, the manufacturer in thefactory who makes the goods, orthe consumer at home who relieson the food and energy that’s pro-duced, everyone in the UnitedStates benefits from efficient andreliable freight rail. South Dakota economy literallydepends on it. And since threetimes as many rail carloads leaveSouth Dakota compared to thosethat end up here, there’s a heavyreliance on freight rail to get all ofour South Dakota-made productsto markets around the countryand the world. More products inthe hands of consumers means ourfarmers, ranchers, small businessowners and entrepreneurs havemore opportunities to create jobsand grow their businesses. We have to ensure that if andwhen there are disruptions in ournation’s rail system, all is being

done to respond in the most effi-cient, effective and timely waypossible. Doing so requires a trust-worthy and dependable federalagency at the helm. The SurfaceTransportation Board (STB) hasanswered that call since 1996, butit hasn’t been without its chal-lenges. In order to get this federalagency where it needs to be, I in-troduced first-of-their-kind re-forms that were adopted on abroad basis by my colleagues inthe House and Senate and weresigned into law late last year. I recently brought the SenateCommittee on Commerce, Science,and Transportation, the commit-tee I’ve chaired for the last 19months, directly to S.D. Not onlydid the committee’s field hearingin Sioux Falls track these ongoingreforms, but we examined ways inwhich the new law could benefitS.D. businesses too. And who bet-ter to hear from than the peoplewho are directly impacted by theSTB’s decisions?

I was thankful that representa-tives from POET, the MissouriRiver Energy Services, the SouthDakota Corn Growers, and CHS,Inc., spent part of their day shar-ing their stories with us. I’m con-vinced now more than ever thereforms we made to the STB arehaving a positive effect, but don’ttake my word for it. Dan Mack,the vice president of transporta-tion and terminal operations atCHS, told the committee that“The rail industry has changed agreat deal over the past twentyyears, and this law is helping tomodernize the STB to better re-flect this new reality.” The new law expedites rate re-view timelines and expands volun-tary arbitration to better serve asan alternative to lawsuits. It alsoincreases proactive problem-solv-ing and accountability by givingthe STB the authority to launchinvestigations. It makes theboard’s activities more transpar-ent and accountable by requiringthem to track and report on serv-ice issues, and it creates a morefunctional and more collaborativeboard by expanding it from threeto five members.

The day is hot already, and it'sstill early. The garden looksscorched. All last week, while Iwas traveling, the man of theranch watered, but there was nocompeting with the sun and thehot breath of the wind that justwon't quit. The tips of the grapeleaves on the vine I planted twosummers ago look burnt, the tinygrapes have shriveled. By middaythe giant leaves of the wintersquash plants will be wilted, hang-ing limply on their vines. Only thezucchini plants arch bravely to-ward the sun, teeming with flow-ers and fruit,proving that, evenif all else fails,there will alwaysbe more zucchinithan necessary.Thankfully, thereare still plenty ofcucumbers andbeans to harvest,but it is sad sight,all those well-tended plants bat-tling to the keepgrowing.My sister droveback with theBean and I, andafter breakfastthe three of us goout for a shortwalk. She mar-vels at the con-tours of the land,laid bare by thedead grass. I amamazed too. Inmy six summershere, I've neverseen it like this ei-ther. Fifty milesaway a mirage ofthe Slim Buttesrises eerily, acraggy addition tothe horizon, shim-mering in theheat. Everythinglooks slightly un-familiar, espe-cially after the week away inMinnesota, where there was rainand flooding, the foliage lush andovergrown, the evening air alivewith clouds of hungry mosquitos.We turn towards the draw, lookingfor a little shade, and find the buf-falo berry bushes that line thesmall canyon are full of ripe fruit.I've been told many times not toharvest buffalo berries until afterthe first frost, but it doesn't looklike they will wait that long. Thismust be the heat too -- thechokecherries trees, which usuallydon’t ripen until summer’s end,are already bare, the cherries long

gone, eaten by birds or pulled fromthe branches by wind. I managedto collected a sack full before weleft, and it waits in the freezer fora day cool enough to make jam. Allaround us things are drying up,curling into themselves, dyingback to their roots to wait for bet-ter weather.We walk back to the house, likethe winter squash we are wilting alittle with the heat. My sisterpours herself a glass of water. “Ican’t believe how much water I amdrinking,” she says. “I am usuallynot this thirsty.”

The man of the ranch appears totell us Caroline, the brown swissmilk cow we acquired last yearwhen Rita came up open, has justcalved. We are finding out thehard way how difficult it is to getthese girls to have their babieswhen we want them to. Both Car-olina and Rita have refused to getpregnant with everyone else, andinstead have become fall calvers. Unlike, Rita, however, Carolinehasn't warmed to us. The man ofthe ranch rides out to bring her in,and she stands in the corral withher new babe, stamping and snort-ing. She is beautiful, tawny and

silken, but she is pawing theground and she shakes her longcurved horns like a warriorprincess. It’s too hot, and she is toocrabby to mess with, so we throwin Barleycorn, the bum calf fromlast spring, hoping he will robenough to at least keep her com-fortable, and to keep mastitis atbay. He goes after the milk, toughand nimble as a champion boxer,letting Caroline's kicks roll offhim, until he manages to steal afew sips. We’ve been watching the dramafrom a shady spot, but even there

it’s too sultry to bepleasant, and theBean is gettingcrabby. It’s nap-time after all. I laydown with him inthe cool dark bed-room, and my eyesflutter shut assoon as his do.When we wake upit’s late afternoon,but it looks later.Heavy, dark cloudshave gathered inthe west. There isa cool breeze too, awelcome sign thata storm is headingour way. Sureenough, the rainbegins to fall a fewminutes later. Itdoesn’t fall forlong, but it’senough to bringout the smell ofsoil and grass, andto settle the dustthat has beenhanging in the airfor days.We all walk to thecorral again. Caro-line is resting, herlittle calf tuckedbeside her. Sheswats her tail atthe flies buzzingover her rain-

cooled back, and regards us lazily,her dark brown eyes gentle. Ibring a bouquet of sweet alfalfaflowers to the new mama. She isstill too wary to come up to me, soI toss the amethyst flowers overthe fence, and she happily grabsthem with her long tongue, pullingthem into her mouth. My sisterand the Bean laugh, and I laughtoo. It’s good to be home to the heat,to the rain, to the babies, to theshort, dry grass, and the tall,green cottonwoods, to the stormsand the wind, and to all the begin-nings, each day an adventure.

USDA Offers New Loans forPortable Farm Storage andHandling Equipment

Portable Equipment Can HelpProducers, including Small-Scaleand Local Farmers, Get Productsto Market Quickly USDA’s Farm Service Agency(FSA) will provide a new financingoption to help farmers purchaseportable storage and handlingequipment. The loans, which nowinclude a smaller microloan optionwith lower down payments, are de-signed to help producers, includingnew, small and mid-sized produc-ers, grow their businesses andmarkets. The program also offers a new“microloan” option, which allowsapplicants seeking less than$50,000 to qualify for a reduceddown payment of five percent andno requirement to provide threeyears of production history. Farmsand ranches of all sizes are eligi-ble. The microloan option is ex-pected to be of particular benefit tosmaller farms and ranches, andspecialty crop producers who maynot have access to commercialstorage or on-farm storage afterharvest. These producers can in-vest in equipment like conveyers,scales or refrigeration units andtrucks that can store commoditiesbefore delivering them to markets.Producers do not need to demon-strate the lack of commercialcredit availability to apply. Earlier this year, FSA signifi-cantly expanded the list of com-modities eligible for Farm StorageFacility Loan. Eligible commodi-ties now include aquaculture; flori-culture; fruits (including nuts) andvegetables; corn, grain sorghum,rice, oilseeds, oats, wheat, triti-cale, spelt, buckwheat, lentils,chickpeas, dry peas sugar,peanuts, barley, rye, hay, honey,hops, maple sap, unprocessedmeat and poultry, eggs, milk,cheese, butter, yogurt and renew-able biomass. FSFL microloanscan also be used to finance washand pack equipment used post-harvest, before a commodity isplaced in cold storage.To learn more about Farm Stor-age Facility Loans, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/pricesupport or contactthis office.

***News from

M.R. and Barbara Hansen We had distinguished visitorsfrom Mongolia all week, Zenee,Byambaa, and their son, Amaraa.Zenee was the president of the uni-versity where we taught for twoyears. Byambaa, his wife, wasteaching food service and Amaraawas an English teacher and is nowa technical translator at the OTMine. The Oyu Tolgoi (OT) mine is ahuge gold and copper mine in theGobi Desert producing about500,000 ounces of gold per year andshipping 100,000 tons of copperconcentrate per day to China forfinal processing. They also have acoal mine for energy production. We first took them to see theBadlands, since they are interestedin natural wonders, then stoppedat Wall Drug for lunch. Since itreached 105˚ that day we ended atginnys for a latte and a coffee. Thatnight, I cooked meat on the fire,just like in Mongolia, except I hadto use beef instead of mutton.

Speaking of the harsh conditions inthe Badlands, we composed anacronym: Hot, Arid, Rugged, Siz-zling, Hell. The next day we went to BearButte and Devils Tower, additionalnatural wonders. I drove by way ofHighway 34 so they could see ourvast farming and ranching opera-tions and to bypass Sturgis. Therewere still thousands of bikers al-though my anonymous sources tellme the count is way down, about300,000 bikes this year. The next day we went to see theMissouri River, Oahe Dam andDavid K. Hansen Industries. Onthe way, we stopped at the SouthDakota state Capitol and found ourSecretary of State Shantel Krebs.They wanted to meet the legendarywoman who had killed a rat-tlesnake with a Judge pistol. Onthe way to and from Ft. Pierre thevast areas of flowers (sunflowers)were yellow and beautiful. Finally, on Saturday, we tookthem to the airport by way of Mt.Rushmore, Walmart and Cabela’sfor shopping. All in all they werecompletely satisfied with theirvisit. By the way if any of you wantto go to Mongolia just tell us andwe can organize a group. Theseguys will roll out the red carpet forus. Barbara writes: Friday morning,we got a surprise visit from Karenand Chuck Kuxhaus, Martin. Theybrought their car to the Fordgarage in Philip for routine workand had some time to kill, so theycame over for coffee and conversa-tion. Being expert farmers orranchers, I asked many questionsand got real answers about plant-ing flowers, growing potatoes, corn,and other things. Their advice wasexcellent and well taken. Karen isfrom Hot Springs and she and mysister, Gwenda, go back a longway…especially to a day in 1963 –on a fateful Sunday afternoon.They met a couple of guys fromMartin driving a 1959 Oldsmobile.A year or so later, they married theguys and an era and a legendbegan. Friday night, M.R. got back from

Pierre with the Mongolians and aparty then ensued. We had somedistinguished guests including Fa-ther Gary Oreshoski from SacredHeart Church and Deacon LloydFrein and his wife, Marianne.Since these Mongolians are Bud-dhists and do call on a Lama forhelp or thanksgiving, we wantedthem to meet a Christian priestfrom our country, especially inPhilip. They certainly enjoyedmeeting Father Gary and DeaconLloyd and it was the first time theyhad met a Catholic priest or deaconof the church. By the way, since Father Garywas here, M.R. asked if he wouldbless our house and he gave a won-derful blessing to those who livedthere and to those who visitedthere. Other guests who came to meetor re-meet the Mongolians wereFuddy Hansen, Sheridan Hansenand CeCe, age five, and Tiger, ageeight, Chuck and Etta, Mongolianstudents from Rapid City, Tsengel,PJ and daughter, Jessica, ageeight. Everyone brought some deli-cious salads, watermelon, ordeserts and Sheridan made “buuz”a Mongolian steamed dumplingmade with beef. In Mongolia theywould be made with mutton. Ohyeah, M.R. went all out and grilledsome steaks. When it got dark, we all went tothe “man cave patio” built by M.R.located on the east side of Dobby'sshop, and he and Fuddy made afire in the fire ring. The night waswarm and calm and few bugs wereout. The Mongolians sang a coupleof their native songs for us. Wetried to watch the annual Perseidmeteor shower that was supposedto peak with a “spectacular lightshow” on this very night of Aug. 11.Unfortunately, the sky was cloudyso didn't see much activity. Weheard that these meteors cantravel as fast as 132,000 miles perhour. We were able to observe thewaxing gibbous moon, though, asexplained by Fuddy. We want to thank everyone forcoming to show our great American

hospitality to these people whotraveled from such a far off land.And thank you Sheridan and Mar-ianne for your help in cleaning,cleaning, cleaning – you went be-yond the call of duty. You both areamazing women and are made ofgold! And thanks to Chuck andEtta for giving the Mongolians atour of their rock shop and for let-ting them pick out a little bag ofagates to take back home. Also toKerry Burns who took their pictureand plans to put it on the “Wall ofFame” at ginnys. Mongolian Quote: “Conqueringthe world on horseback is easy, it isthe dismounting and governingthat is hard.” Genghis Khan, 1162– 1227, founder of the Great Mon-golian Empire.

News from Loren Kiel I wrote the next five paragraphsfor my last week’s news, but de-cided my report was getting toolong. So my comments are on myobservations of other correspon-dents social reporting in the Aug. 4issue of the Pioneer Review. Heregoes! As I was reading last week’s Pio-neer Review, it occurred to me thatif I am ever lost for words, I can fallback on commenting and relatingto what other columnist have writ-ten. I guess I have already donethat some. I got a kick out of thatwhich Syd Iwan wrote about tal-ents. I so appreciate classicalmusic. I mentioned to my sisteronce how I wished I could play vio-lin like the renowned violinist,Isaac Stern. She said that I shouldbe content and thankful for whattalent I have. Not every countryboy picks up a violin and learns toplay it without taking lessons, evenplaying it by reading musical notesand also playing some by ear. (Ofcourse my mom did start me out onthe piano, but didn’t have time tostand over me with a baseball bat!So my piano playing skills are veryelementary.) I do realize that manyold-timers, including my mom’sdad, played the fiddle, so that’s notsuch a big deal. I am grateful toGod for the talents He has givenme, meager as they may be! I see by M.R. and BarbaraHansen’s report I am not the only

one to give an account of a familyreunion in the Black Hills. TheGuptill family out-classed thePaulson family with numbers at-tending. It sounds as though theyhad fun, too. I am glad I didn’t havethe task of listing all of thosenames. Name recognition andspelling is always a challenge forme! My lame excuse is that I amhard of hearing! I noticed in the Milesville news,that my ol sidekick, Dan Bierwa-gen, and his wife, Sherri, cameback for a visit. I roomed with Danin a private home during my fresh-man year in Rapid City HighSchool when he was a senior. I wastwo years behind in school so therewasn’t that much difference in ourage. His brother, Elmer, was in mybrother Marvin’s class and theyboth also graduated from the SouthDakota School of Mines and Tech-nology. (Later his mom and mymom were nursing home room-mates.) Dan came home after highschool to ranch and farm with hisdad, the same as I did later at ourfarm. Dan was there for 20 years,then in 1969 he leased the ranchand went back to school atSDSM&T. (Jim and Vonnie O’Deawere his renters.) He graduatedfrom there with a chemical engi-neering degree around 1973 or 74.As I recall, while he and Sherriwere ranching and farming atMilesville, Sherri directed theMilesville play. It was much laterthat Dan sold the ranch to Phil andKaren Carley. (Incidentally, wenamed our oldest son after him.) Marsha Sumpter’s column reallydrew my attention this time. Everytime she writes something aboutaviation, my ears flick forward likethe ears of a horse that hears analarming sound! Oops, maybe I amconfusing my ears with my eyes!Anyway, I do love to go to airshows. I recall one such air show atEllsworth Air Force Base at which,I believe, Marsha flew in as a mem-ber of the Civil Air Patrol. (MaybeLee Vaughan was also at that one.In all that crowd, I happened to seeand talk to her there.) As I recall,one of the big attractions there wasa fly-in of the Air Force B-2 flying

wing stealth bomber. Another onewas the F-117 Nighthawk Aircraft,the first stealth aircraft. It was sosuccessfully used in the second waragainst Saddam Hussein. It was onstatic display, but the B-2 Bomberonly pulled up toward the crowdand changed crew, while leavingthe jet engines idle, then took offfor an air show in another state. I also attended an air show inSioux Falls at a later date as aguest of my cousins. I believe it wasan anniversary celebration of theAir National Guard Unit stationedin Sioux Falls. I believe the NavyBlue Angels also put on a showthat day. One aircraft that caughtmy attention was the Navy HarrierJump Jet aircraft that can do ver-tical take-offs and landings by de-flecting its jet engines thrustsdownward. It kind of hovers like ahelicopter while doing that maneu-ver. As for WW II aircraft the P-51is a popular one at airshows. I alsolike to see displayed the F4U Cor-sair Fighter with the dippingwings. (They were designed thatway for a higher clearance of thelarger longer-bladed prop and wereused mostly by the Marines.) Ithink that is just a convenientcliché for me about being lost forwords! If you have a hard timemaking connections concerning mycommentaries, you might want topick up the Aug. 4 Pioneer Reviewagain to check on those newscolumns, providing you have notdiscarded it. (Rose and I have abunch of back issues stored in a boxin a closet so as to use for later ref-erence.) Now I need to get down to busi-ness in reporting for this pastweek’s events. Monday, Aug. 8, theFeeding South Dakota Mobile FoodPantry out of Pierre came to Philipand parked in front of the BadRiver Senior Citizen’s Center. Peo-ple were urged to take advantageof this and help themselves to fooddisplayed on tables in the Center.We noted that there was not aslarge a selection as they had whenthey last stopped in Philip. One could not help but have no-ticed the string of motorcycles onthe highway as they whippedthrough town either on their wayto or on their way back from the76th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Ihave encountered some of themalong the highway as I walked andwaved to them and also as theyhave stopped at The Philip PitStop. Some of those machines areflashy with bright colors and shinychrome. Some even venture down-town and maybe head south for theBadlands. Some of them prefer togo early and others prefer to golate. At any rate, the traffic isheavy and much is added to theWestern South Dakota economywith the rally on top of the regulartourist season. Visitation is up atsuch places as Wall Drug, the Bad-lands National Park, and all of theattractions in the Black Hills. Ac-cording to the news reports, evendowntown Rapid City arranged forspecial bike parking. I heard thattraffic was very congested as onetraveled toward Sturgis. Yet newsreports indicate that attendance isdown from what it was last year.The latest report I saw listed threerally related fatalities this yearcompared to 10 last year. The lat-est one was caused by a collisionwith a deer, throwing the biker outof control and into the path of an-other vehicle. The rally officially opened Aug. 8and the final day was Aug. 14. I amhappy to observe it from a distance!My Honda XLR 250 was certainlynot in that class and living in thecountry I never did get a motorcy-cle driver’s license. Now all my two-wheeler escapades are a thing ofthe past! I have had enough spillsout on the prairie to last me for mylifetime! But, I also had a lot of fun.Some teased me of being EvelKnievel, but that was a far stretchof the imagination! Wednesday, August 10, Keith

Friends may leave written con-dolences and view Blaine’s videotribute at www.funeralhome-ofthenorthernhills.com Blaine was born at 2:17 CT onMarch 6, 2000. He was followed byhis twin sister, Tristin, at 2:19. Inever believed in love at first sightuntil I met Blaine and Tristin Pe-terson. Blaine and Tristin were bestfriends. They did everything to-gether. They spoke their own lan-guage, they slept together, theyate together, and they lived to-gether until a horrible diseasetook Tristin from us on Aug. 8,2006. Blaine was never quite thesame after we lost Tristin. Theywere two halves of a whole. Blaine was my lifeline in a dark-ness I was almost lost in forever.He saved my life after his sisterpassed. His smile, his laugh, hisinnocent heart, and his strengthall slowly but surely brought meback from a horrible place of grieffrom losing one’s child. I honestlydon’t think I’d be here today if itwere not for that little boy. He

forced me to get out of bed eachday. He forced me to smile andlaugh. He forced me to take a lookat my life and realize I wanted tobe a better person and a bettermom. Because of him I got my lifeback on track to be the mother hedeserved, as he deserved the best.Blaine was my reason for becom-ing the person I am today. Blaineis the reason I was healthy enoughto meet the wonderful man thatbecame his father in absolutelyevery sense of the word, and wholoved him very much. That man isJay Calhoon, and he was the bestdad a Blainer could have. Blaine had autism and was non-verbal. I point this out becauseeveryone thinks in order to be pro-found, they must say great things,

use large words, or make peoplelisten to them. Blaine needed noneof that. Blaine changed more lives,influenced more hearts, and gavemore inspiration than just aboutanyone I know without saying asingle word. If you got a smilefrom Blaine, you’d earned it. Hissmile would genuinely light up theentire room and there was no wayyou couldn’t smile back. His laughwas contagious. His life was a tes-tament to strength and confidence. The most important lesson Ilearned from my beautiful boy is tonot let anyone steal your happi-ness. No one stole his happiness.No one made him feel bad for notfitting into a box, because hewould not let them. My son wasstrong, happy, amazing, and con-fident. We could all learn a lotfrom that boy. My son was also an organ donor.He saved four lives, which makesus all very proud. He’s still chang-ing lives, even in death. Blaine leaves behind a lot of peo-ple who loved and admired him.Jay Calhoon, his dad; his mother,Tabatha Calhoon; his grandpa andgrandma, Dan and Deb Harris ofEkalaka, Mont.; his uncle, Dustinand Brenda Harris and cousin,Jaydan Harris, all of O’Neil, Neb. Last, but not least, every singlelife he touched while he was onthis earth for 16 awesome years. Ido not have the words to expresshow much he is missed, but I amproud to have been his mother. Hewas, and still is, my heart. Forevermy heart, little boy.

*** Jerry and I have been makingsome trips to Pierre concerning hislegs and trouble walking. Decidingit was time for an MRI, I gavethem a call at the Pierre clinic.The day he was scheduled for theMRI we were visiting with somefolks in the waiting room andwhen another person heard wewere from Midland asked if weknew Barb Petoske, now BarbJones. Her name is BettyAnn(Sufindefer) Bringman and sheand Barb were college roommateswhen going to college at BlackHills State College, now BlackHills State University, inSpearfish. She remembersLavonne Anderson and Shari An-derson who were in college at that

time. BettyAnn lives at RidgeView and was principal at theEagle Butte school when DianaSutfin taught school there. Dianataught school in Midland for agood many years before moving toEagle Butte. She is now retiredand living in Florida where hermom and sister live. As the visit-ing continued, we learnedBettyAnn also knows Ted Fen-wich, as he and his wife, Ginger,lived up in that area a good manyyears and now live in Pierre. It isa small world. I was to tell you hiBarb, so now I've done it, a bit late,but done. She reported the two ofyou will have to get together some-time. It is a small world! Back to Jerry and his scheduledMRI, which showed what theproblem was and he was sched-uled for a lumbar epidural injec-tion. Relief was felt almostinstantly and he continues to haverelief at this point in time. What adifference it made in his ability towalk and the pain in his back.Hopefully the healing continuesfor anyone who has dealt withpain knows, it takes a toll bothphysically and mentally. Jerry and I headed for RapidCity Sunday to pick up our travel-ing daughter, Charlene, at theRapid City airport. The plane waslate flying out of Iceland makingher miss her connection from Min-neapolis to Rapid City, but all isgood. She arrived safely and so didher luggage. She had an awesomesummer of travels, adventure andbeauty on the islands of Icelandand Greenland. And to Jim Root,our local fisherman, she caught a15 pound fish when they were outon the boat. She reported she hadto brace her feet against the boatto keep from going overboard. Shehad a great and fun group on thetour of adventure and the scenerywas absolutely beautiful, from thesnowcapped moutains of Icelandto the glaciers of Greenland and awhole lot more. And with having atablet or Ipod or whatever you callit, she was able to send awesomepictures along with her emails. Itwas great! Now it’s back to reality as she ison her way back to Bismarck,N.D., this Tuesday morning, foranother year of teaching. Thank-fully, she is one of those peoplewho are prepared, as she did upher lesson plans well head of time.So she is ready. Will catch you up on other newsnext week for its time to close andsend this off! As I close out my col-umn, I leave you with a saying Ilearned about concerning life andits journey. "She was unstoppable!Not because she did not have fail-ures or doubts, but because shecontinued on despite them." Havea good week and God bless!

Theweather has been an adventure allits own and how about those dou-ble rainbows? A Kodak momentcaptured by some folks on cam-era – beautiful and one was sobright. I don't know when I haveseen such a bright rainbow in ourarea. With the rains we've beenhaving lately, we've been seeingquite a few rainbows. Some of theclouds mixed with the sun goingdown have been awesome. Godhas blessed us with nature’sbeauty! Some folks have dealtwith strong winds. It's been a changeable summerwith a whole lot of weather activ-ity and beauty! When drivingdown the road, there's a sea of yel-low beauty from the sunflowercrops. Millet and milo crops areworking towards harvest, as well!The rains have been varied, somewith enough, some with not much,and some with much too much,causing water to run over roadsand fences torn out making forfencing repair, for some. There have been some strongwinds along with some of thosehard rains leaving things lookinga bit beat up when all is said anddone! It's good to see dams full, aswell as those little ponds, so wecontinue to wait and see what'snext! Lawn mowers can be heardaround town, for with the rainsthe grass and lawns are growing,looking nice and green. Our son,Jim, reports they have had verylittle rain in Belle Fourche. Theonly green where they live is thelawn that they water. With thefast passing of time, we'll soon begoing from lawn mower to shovel-ing snow.

STRONG

BETTER SCHOOLS MAKE BETTER COMMUNITIES Vote August 23rdFast Facts Tax Levy and Bond Issue

Informational Guide

What is Proposed?

The Haakon School District Board of Education unanimously approved a building General Obligation Bond referendum for theAugust 23rd ballot in the amount of $9 million. This question, ifpassed, will situate the school district on firm financial ground with updated facilities for the foreseeable future.

Why isThis

Necessary?

Most of our buildings have reached, or are well beyond, theiruseful lives and have maintenance needs that must be addressedto prolong usefulness and bring them up to current codes andstandards. The approximate cost to accomplish this updating is$5.7 million—and in the end, we still have “old” buildings. This is why the Board then considered new construction. The preliminary cost for the proposed building project is approximately $9.4 million.

Why Now?

Deferred maintenance and modernization needs have been iden-tified, interest rates are still very low, and investing today will deliver future savings. Education builds a prospering community: Schools are for the whole community. An investment in our school is a community investment thatbuilds pride and keeps our entire area thriving.

VOTE TUESDAY, AUGUST 23rd

The election is Tuesday, August 23rd. Polls are open from 7am-7pm. There is one polling place: Philip High School, Room A-1.Absentee ballots may be cast beginning on August 8th. Please goto the school Business Office to vote absentee or contact BritniRoss, Business Manager, for a ballot by mail.

What HappensIf The Bond isNot Approved?

If the bond issue is not approved, the needs for improved facilities and safe student learning environments will not goaway. The District will have to find some way to fund, repair, and renovate by priority. Costs for these projects will only increase as interest rates and construction costs rise. The schoolbuildings will continue to be out of code and ADA accessibilitycompliance until changes can be phased in.

Need MoreInformation?

Please feel free to contact Keven Morehart, Superintendent atKeven.Morehart@k12.sd.us and Britni Ross, Business Manager, at Britni.Ross@k12.sd.us or call us at 605-859-2679.

Why a Bond Issue?

Prior to the 2016 Legislature, the District was in a financial position to issue capital outlay certificates to fund a buildingproject and the public did not refer this measure to ballot. However, when the Legislature changed capital outlay fundingfrom a valuation basis to a per student basis, the District lostnearly $450,000 annually. This leaves a bond our only fundingoption.

PleaseNote …

The figures listed above are estimates based on this year’s tax information and could fluctuate minimally. There will also be asavings through elimination of the pension levy and a proposedreduction in the special education levy.

What Will TheProposed Building Look Like?

An architectural firm has drawn up preliminary plans to addressthe requested needs and to provide a general idea of cost. If thebond issue is approved, the building committee will move forward by considering any suggested modifications to morespecifically fit the District’s needs. Preliminary drawings and renderings can be seen in the Business Office.

What will theAnnual Proposed

Tax StructureLook Like?

Total Capital Outlay Tax LevyThe overall amount would be:

Amount Estimated LevyCapital Outlay 340,000 $.80General Obligation Bond 625,000 $1.47Total 965,000 $2.27

The $2.27 total levy would be less than the current $3.00 levy whichis being assessed in the Capital Outlay fund right now. This equatesto an overall reduction in school capital outlay taxes.

One byone the couples were eliminatedaccording to the number of yearsthey were married. Finally theywere down to two couples – theother couple who were celebratingtheir 55th anniversary. Then theyfound out that the names of bothcouples were Bill and Connie! We were blessed with a nice rainshower Sunday night. Our gaugeshowed .40”. There were reports ofup to two inches north of Wall andclose to three inches in the Grind-stone area. It sounds like muchcooler weather is ahead for us bythe weekend.

Emerson observed, without fanfare,his 94th birthday. It was noted aswe ate our noon lunch at theSenechal. My wife told me thatthose at his table they sang “HappyBirthday” to him. (I must have for-gotten my hearing aid that day!)Keith is one of the few remainingWWII veterans still around. Ihighly respect him and all veter-ans. We hope he continues to haverelatively good health. He and Lu-cille still walk occasionally to lunchfrom their apartment at the MosesManor. I was surprised and a bit disap-pointed when I read in last week’spaper that the law firm of KjerstadMcKnight is leaving Philip forgreener pastures. I had the privi-lege of reporting on their openhouse at the Senechal and later oftheir move into new office space onCenter Avenue. Apparently Ryanhad an offer and a great opportu-nity knocking at his door in Brook-ings which he could not turn away. This brings to mind a story Iheard about a piano tuner by thename of Opporknockity. (He wasfrom the old country, maybe Rus-sia.) One of his customers was un-happy with the job of tuning he didon her piano. She requested that hecome back and re-tune it. But hesaid to her, “I’m sorry lady, Oppor-knockity only tunes once! Sunday, Aug. 14, our son, Bryan,observed his 42nd birthday. At thispoint he is half my age! He wasborn a preemie weighing in at 4.5lbs. and needed to remain in thepreemie ward of Bennett ClarksonHospital in Rapid city for threeweeks until he weighed 5 lbs.Bryan presently lives in Huron,Ohio, a small city on the shore ofLake Erie. Saturday evening, wehad a good phone visit with himwishing him a happy birthday. Sunday, Aug. 14, being the sec-

ond Sunday of the month, wasagain time for the noon potluck din-ner at the Bad River Senior Citi-zen’s Center. It was a smaller partythis time with only 21 names jotteddown on the register. For the mostpart it was the same ol gang. Therewas one guest, Kathy Gottsleben,who came down from Rapid City tospend an overnight with her mom,Myrna. Perhaps one might saythere was one more new personthere, Asta Amiotte. She is a newresident at the Senechal Apart-ments. The ratio was two to one ofwomen outnumbering the men. Nocomplaints about the food! Also on Sunday, Aug. 14, it wasagain our turn to conduct the after-noon worship services at the PhilipNursing Home. Our entertainmentmusic prior to the worship servicewas geared to the season withthoughts of school and baseball.(You know, when I was a kid,school always began around Sept.1. Now it begins in August – thisyear Aug. 22 which is the beginningof the fourth week in August!) Thesongs we picked are indicative oftimes past, but those to which thefolks in the nursing home can re-late. We played “Hail SouthDakota,” “The YCL March,” “SchoolDays,” and “Take Me Out To TheBall Game.” I had for my sermontitle, “Controversy Over Christ”based upon the gospel of Luke12:49-53, where Jesus prophesiesdivision within families because ofHis teachings and claims aboutHimself. There were 13 folks in atten-dance including five guests. Theguests were, Beverly Moon, the Sil-verleaf, Gayle Rush, Kay Ainslie,Mary Ann Stoner and MargaretEisenbraun’s daughter, LorraineFauske, Cedar Butte area. Lorrainefurnished cookies for refreshments. After the worship services, Roseand I did some visiting over on the

hospital side. Rose stopped for ashort visit at Gay Logan’s room. Weboth spent a while visiting MaryEide. Mary gave me some news to re-port. Rich Smith’s oldest daughter,Colleen, and her husband, KenSimmons, Forsyth, Mont. (east ofBillings), spent several days visit-ing him last week. They came tovisit Mary Friday, Aug. 12. Mary’sgranddaughter, Carla Eide, andher daughter, Kiley, and son, Tae-gan, Rozet, Wyo., (east of Gillette)spent Friday through Sunday visit-ing Mary and also Carla’s parents,Marvin and Vicki Eide, out on theirranch in the Grindstone commu-nity. Mary had Sunday afternoonguests as retired Rev. RussellPierce and his wife, Mary, paid hera visit. Mel Smith visited Mary atthe same time. Russell was pastorof the United Church in the 1980sThey live in Yankton and their son,Kenny, lives nearby. Their othertwo sons, Jim and Tim, both live inFlorida. Tim works for the CampusCrusade for Christ at their head-quarters in Orlando. Jim was in thePHS Class of 1982 with our daugh-ter, Rosanne, and Timothy was inthe Class of 1984. I stopped in tovisited at Mary’s room shortly be-fore the worship services and in-vited them all to come join us. ButRussell and his wife wanted tomake other visits while in town.One couple they mentioned wereBud and Dorothy Stickler. That was a beautiful rain we re-ceived last night (Sunday). My raingauge showed one and one-halfinches. I was told that the officialreport out at the airport was twoinches. We can be happy to nothave had a deluge similar to thatwhich hit Louisiana last week withover 10 inches of rain and muchflooding.

Meth Changes Everything Over the past several years,South Dakota has seen a rise inthe use of methamphetamine, ormeth. In our state, 3.8 percent ofhigh school students have triedmeth. That is slightly higher thanthe national average of 3 percent.Approximately 15,000 SouthDakotans, age 12 and up, were de-pendent on or abused illicit drugsin 2015, including meth. Meth is a powerful and highlyaddictive stimulant which affectsthe central nervous system andresults in devastating side-effects.It is a white, odorless, bitter-tast-ing powder and can be ingested ina variety of ways. No matter whatyou call it, or how it is used, the ef-fects are all the same. Meth users experience signifi-cant anxiety, confusion, insomnia,mood disturbances, paranoia, hal-lucinations, delusions and violentbehavior. Addicts experience sev-eral physical effects as well in-cluding weight loss, tooth decay,tooth loss and skin sores. Methcauses mental and physicalchanges. In most cases, thosechanges are permanent. In South Dakota, we are com-mitted to being “smart on crime.”We use data-driven, evidence-based practices to protect the pub-lic and hold offenders accountable. We also recognize that we needto be tough on the causes of crime.Using meth is a crime itself, but itcan also lead users to commitother crimes. In 2015, there were2,125 meth related arrests in 46South Dakota counties. This is a40 percent increase from meth re-lated arrests in 2014. South Dakota needs to focus onpreventing meth use. This month,the Department of Social Services

has created an awareness cam-paign, “Meth Changes Every-thing,” to promote prevention andprovide education to students andSouth Dakota communities. In the coming months, commu-nities across the state will meetwith prevention providers to learnmore about what can be done toprevent meth use. Schools canprovide valuable information tostudents on the effects and dan-gers of meth, and how this addic-tive drug can permanently changetheir lives and the lives of thosearound them. Join me in our effort to endmeth use by taking the pledge atwww.methchangeseverything.comThe website also provides infor-mation about meth use, resourcesfor individuals seeking help andtreatment and candid stories fromrecovering meth addicts. By work-ing together, we can help shapethe future of our great state andend meth use in South Dakota.

This isan important issue. On to the news – My sympathytoday to our Neuhauser relativesin Washington State. Young SteveNeuhauser, son of SteveNeuhauser and grandson ofDuane and Helen Neuhauser,passed away last week. He was inhis late 40s and he was one of themost talented, capable guys I haveever met! Randy's cousin, Steve,and Steve's daughter, Angie, vis-ited here earlier this summer. It isso hard to lose a loved one and itseems even harder when they dieway too young. My sympathy also to the Mark-wed and Beckwith families on thedeath of their cousin, Elaine Cun-ningham. Elaine was born Febru-ary 17, 1930, in Linsay, S.D., toKenneth W. and Agnes J. (Mark-wed) David. She lived in theRobbs Flat area until 1941 whenthe family moved to Hilland. Sheand her husband, Mel, had fourchildren. I got acquainted withElaine when we had a house inPierre while our children were inschool there. Elaine and her hus-band, Mel, lived down the streetfrom us and she had the mostlybeautiful yard and gardens. It wasevident that she had a very greenthumb. She also worked at a localgreenhouse during the gardeningseason and she was glad to shareher knowledge and expertise withthe customers. I would seek herout, because I valued her opinionon what would work best for mygardening needs. She always hada smile and a friendly demeanor.May she rest in peace! The flowergardens in Heaven will be gettingsome extra special attention, I'msure. Max and Joyce Jones had an-other good week in Rapid City.These days, Max and Joyce are inRapid City Monday through Fri-day so Max can have chemo andradiation treatments. They are onweek four of the scheduled eightweeks of treatment and Max istolerating the treatments reallywell. The first couple of weeks

were a little tougher, but lastweek was much better. Joyce saidMax has a great appetite – he'sback to midnight snacking. Theyare staying in a friend's home inRapid and they had company lastweek. Thank goodness the home islarge enough to accommodateeveryone! The homeowner's sonand family were in Rapid for den-tal appointments. Joyce said whenthe appointments were mademonths ago, the family didn't re-alize that the motorcycle rallywould be during that time. Thehomeowners, who live in Bison,also came for a visit. Max andJoyce's daughter, Kim, and herboys from Onida were in RapidCity doing some back to schoolshopping, as well as checking onhow Max and Joyce were doing.During the week, Max and Joycepaid a visit to the Shrine Clubthere. Max will be serving as Wor-thy Grand Patron of Eastern Starnext year and during his termthey will be concentrating on thewonderful work done by theShrine hospitals in Minnesota.The Shrine office gave themvideos and other materials to usein spreading the word about theawesome services provided to chil-dren, regardless of the family'sability to pay. It is a great organi-zation! Nels and Dorothy Paulson saidthey received .10" of rain Sundaynight and every drop was wel-come. Dorothy said she wanted tosay thank you to our local EMTsand first responders. Nels wasn'tfeeling well one day last week andtwo of the neighbors who havemedical training came to helpNels out. He was checked out atthe hospital and all is well, whichis good news. The EMTs and firstresponders serve as volunteersand they are vital in these remotecommunities. Wednesday, Nels was atSansarc Cemetery to help lay outa plot for Robyn Bothwell's burial.Robin Norman and Marc Scarbor-ough mowed in preparation forthe burial. Thursday, Nels andDorothy went to Pierre for vaccineand to take care of other business.Friday, Nels went to assist infighting a fire at Mitch Norman'splace. Sunday he helped fight fireat Bob Rose's place. Dorothy at-tended church Saturday at DeepCreek. Sunday, Duane and Lola Rosethwere supper guests at the home ofJerry and Pam Ingram in Philip.Lola said the Ingram's have alarge, beautiful yard and of coursethe supper was delicious. Lola was planning on a visit thisweek from her brother, Joe, andhis wife, Pam. They live in Ari-zona and they were planning to

travel here after a stop in Col-orado. Unfortunately, Pamstarted not feeling well, so they re-turned to Arizona rather than con-tinuing on to South Dakota. Hopeshe is better real soon! Dick and Gene Hudson kept theroads hot this past week. Wednes-day, they went to Sioux Falls tokeep a doctor's appointment.While in Sioux Falls, they visitedJim and Alice Jo Jones. When Ivisited with Dick, I got a bit of ahistory lesson that I will pass on.Years ago, Jim was married toJan Markwed, sister of BillyMarkwed, and Jim and Jan hadtwo boys. Unfortunately, Janpassed away very young. Ulti-mately, Jim married Alice Jo, whowas a sister of Dorothy Mitchell,the Mitchells used to work forAllen Towne. Jim and Alice Jomoved to Dell Rapids in the 70sand continued to raise their familythere. Dick and Gene said Jim andAlice Jo are doing well. The Hud-sons went from Sioux Falls to Lin-coln, Neb., and spent time withDick's sister, Norma, betterknown as Sis. They then visitedDick's brother, Donald, in theYork, Neb., area. Friday, theywent to Columbus, Neb., to thehome of their daughter, DebBurma, and her family. It was abig weekend for the Burma familyas their son, Chris, was graduat-ing from the university at Lincoln.So Saturday, Dick and Gene andthe Burma family all headed toLincoln for the graduation and re-ception. I believe Dick and Gene'sdaughter, Connie Johnson, andher family also attended. They re-turned to Columbus late Satur-day. They headed back to SouthDakota Sunday afternoon. On theway home, they stopped in Pierreto attend a wedding reception forMichael Bumann and his bride.Dick and Gene's daughter, Deb,stayed with the Bumanns forthree years during high school.They arrived home late Sundaynight and Monday Gene was busypicking garden veggies and tend-ing to the chickens! Billy and Arlyne Markwedhelped with an auction sale nearHolabird Wednesday. They spentWednesday night in Pierre at thehome of their daughter and son-in-law, Cindy and Bruce Bresee.

Thursday, Billy had cataract sur-gery – all went well. Saturday,Billy and Arlyne attended churchat Deep Creek and Sunday theywent to Faith to attend the rodeothere. Arlyne said the attendanceat the rodeo was sparse – certainlynot like it was years ago! She saidin the past, if you weren't there atleast an hour before the start ofthe rodeo, you would probablyhave trouble finding a place to sit.That isn't the case these days, un-fortunately. It seems like some-times these celebrations kind of goin cycles. My personal opinion isthat people are just so busy thesedays that they can't possibly at-tend everything! Julian and Coreen Roseth'sgrandson, Jaydon Martin, had themisfortune of tangling with somebarbed wire last week when hejumped off his pony. He has plentyof stitches on his arm, but he ishealing well. Coreen was in Philiplast Wednesday afternoon and shebrought the Martin grandkidshome for the night as their regulardaycare wasn't available. She re-turned them to their home nearMidland Thursday evening. Sat-urday night, Julian and Coreenkept Adam and Jodi's boys. Thisgrandparenting is a busy busi-ness! Kevin Neuhauser was in PierreThursday and part of Friday forsome classes. Friday afternoon,Kevin and Mary went to SiouxFalls for a combined bachelor andbachelorette gathering for friends,Nick Leisinger and Ashley Hintz,whose wedding will be at the endof the month. Saturday morning,Mary attended a bridal shower forher niece at Falls Park whileKevin visited friends in the area.

They returned to the ranch Satur-day night. Frank and Shirley Halligan en-tertained friends at their home inFt. Pierre Saturday night.

Shandiis the daughter of Jim Bruce andshe lives in California. She hadcame back to South Dakota for herAunt Linda's funeral and shewanted to spend some time at theranch.

Rail and the South DakotaWay Of Life

We never had a new car, when Iwas growing up, but we alwaysspent what was necessary tomaintain our car, and keep it independable running condition. New isn’t necessarily better, butthe old must be maintained, andsometimes improved, if we wantto depend upon it. I’ve never for-gotten the lessons I learned aboutthe importance of maintenance. Many South Dakotans havesimilar stories they could tellabout lessons learned from work-ing the land or raising livestock.Even if you did not grow up on aranch or farm, chances are youhave parents, grandparents,cousins or friends who did. As astate with such a large ag indus-try, agriculture defines us. It hasinstilled in us values like persist-ence, honesty and courage. It isthanks to our farmers and ranch-ers that the way of life which im-parts these values endures. It isalso, in part, thanks to rail. Because we are a state with asmall population, our farmers andranchers produce much more thanwe can consume in South Dakota.The success of our agricultural op-erations depends upon our pro-ducers’ ability to get their

products to market. They need ef-ficient, cost-effective options. That is where rail comes in.South Dakota’s producers rely agreat deal on railroads to delivertheir grain to out-of-state mar-kets. One of the state’s most reliedupon railroads is the Rapid City,Pierre & Eastern, which spans thestate from Belle Fourche to Tracy,Minn. Since purchasing the line in2014, Genessee & Wyoming hasworked hard to improve rail serv-ice to customers along the line. Through a public-private part-nership with the state, RCP&Ehas just finished constructing twopassing sidings: a 10,061-foot sid-ing near Huron and a 7,450-footsiding near Aurora. These sidingsallow trains to pass head-to-head,rather than each train waiting foranother to arrive. The sidingshave already increased the speedwith which RCP&E can deliverSouth Dakota grain to market. In 2017, RCP&E expects tobegin construction of a new 7,000-foot siding near Philip, which willoffer additional capacity to WestRiver shippers. This is made pos-sible in part by a TIGER grantfrom the United States Depart-ment of Transportation. Due to upgrades like these, andRCP&E’s commitment to the fu-

ture, companies that rely on thisstretch of rail have had the confi-dence to locate facilities on theline, or upgrade existing facilities.For example, the GCC Dakota ce-ment plant in Rapid City has un-dertaken a $90 million expansion.As another example, Novita lo-cated its $60 million animal pro-tein plant on the line near Aurora. In addition to these infrastruc-ture investments, in July, theRCP&E secured an agreementwith the Union Pacific Railroad tointerchange rail traffic at UnionPacific’s Mankato, Minn., prop-erty. This agreement meansRCP&E shippers will now haveaccess to three Class I railroads.This will increase competition forS.D. grain, as our grain shippersnow can ship goods across the ma-jority of our national rail network. We can be proud of the progressmade on one of our state’s mostimportant lines. Good rail servicecan make all the difference for ourproducers. Investments like thesesignal to farmers, ranchers andbusinesses that they can rely onthis line well into the future. Likethat old car when I was growingup, this old rail line, built a cen-tury ago, is being maintained, andnow improved, because we dependupon it.

Aviation Connects SouthDakotans to the World

National Aviation Day is ob-served annually on Aug. 19 to cel-ebrate the history and promotethe development of aviation. It coincides with the birthday ofOrville Wright who, along with hisbrother Wilbur, pioneered pow-ered flight more than 100 yearsago. Today, aviation allows us totravel more frequently and withrelative ease to all corners of theworld. I took an early interest inaviation, receiving my pilot’s li-cense at the age of 17. As a large, rural state with asparse population, many of us relyon regional airline service forflight travel. In fact, 90 percent ofSouth Dakota’s commercial serv-ice comes from the regional airlineindustry. It is an essential servicefor our rural communities. Unfor-tunately, regional airline servicein places like Huron, Watertown,Aberdeen and Pierre have strug-gled in recent years. Delays, can-celed flights and fewer flightoptions have made it more diffi-cult for residents to fly in and outof these communities. I have been working to solve theproblem of decreased air service toour smaller towns. One importantissue is the pilot shortage cur-

rently affecting our regional air-lines. In 2010, Congress passednew mandatory minimum flighthour requirements for airline pi-lots. The new regulation raisedthe number of flight hours re-quired to serve as a copilot from250 to 1,500, a 600 percent in-crease. This increase has createda significant barrier to entry tothe airline industry for aspiringpilots, and in turn has made itvery hard for carriers like GreatLakes Airlines, a regional carrierserving South Dakota, to fill openpilot positions. While increasing flight hourminimums was well-intended,these new laws were not alignedwith the expert recommendationsfrom the Federal Aviation Admin-istration and the National Trans-portation and Safety Board. Now,six years later, thanks to criticalresearch at places like SouthDakota State University, we arein a position to offer a better andsafer alternative based on empiri-cal data. These entities have con-ducted peer-reviewed studies thatconsistently show the best pilotsare the ones who receive the besttraining, not the ones with simplythe most flight hours. Earlier this year, I introducedan amendment to the FAA reau-

thorization bill to address these is-sues. It seeks to increase the qual-ified pilot pool for regional airlinesby creating new, state-of-the art,FAA-certified safety courses thatwould count toward minimumpilot flight hour requirements. Italso strengthens pilot trainingand airline safety by putting pilotsthrough rigorous, simulator-basedtraining programs, all while main-taining the high standards thatCongress put in place for the Air-line Pilot Transport Certificate.By simulating more real-world cri-sis scenarios and attending moreindustry specific training, I be-lieve our pilots would be even bet-ter prepared to respond in anemergency. Today, air travel is the safest ithas ever been and more people areflying than ever before. Our travelpossibilities are endless, as long aswe have pilots to fly us. I will con-tinue working toward a solutionthat reconnects the broken pilotpipeline while continuing to main-tain the highest standards ofsafety in aviation. And, I will con-tinue working on behalf of thosewho live in smaller communitiesto keep our regional airportsthriving.

Thinking about health: help forhearing loss is often unaffordable

by Trudy Lieberman,Rural Health News Service

Nearly two-thirds of adults overage 70 have hearing loss that doc-tors consider “clinically meaning-ful.” In plain English that meansas people age, they are likely tobecome hard of hearing. Many ofthose people, however, don’t getthe help they need, often becausethey simply cannot afford it. “The prevalence of hearing lossalmost doubles with each agedecade of life,” says Dr. Frank Lin,an otolaryngologist at Johns Hop-kins University, but for older peo-ple, he adds, “there are multiplebarriers that prevent individualsfrom getting their hearing loss ad-dressed.” Lin spoke about the subject to agroup of journalists in a recentphone conference sponsored by aWashington, D.C., advocacy groupthe National Committee to Pre-serve Social Security andMedicare. He is a co-author of aJune report issued by the Na-tional Academies of Sciences, En-gineering, and Medicine thatrecommends better access andsupport for treating hearing loss. Lin told the group that althoughhearing loss is a normal part ofthe aging process, “hearing care isinaccessible” to many seniors. Hesaid studies over the last fiveyears have shown that such loss“can increase the risk of cognitivedecline.” Using data from a longi-tudinal study (one that tracksdata from the same people repeat-edly over many years or decades)that began in 1958, Lin and hiscolleagues at Johns Hopkinsfound that those with hearing losshad a higher probability of devel-oping dementia. The more severethe loss, the more likely the de-mentia. That isn’t the only problem.Hearing loss is also associatedwith a greater risk for falls andother accidents because a personcan’t hear traffic or a smoke alarmin their home.

Furthermore, those with hear-ing loss often feel isolated andshun normal social contacts be-cause they can’t hear othersspeak. That’s a blow to productiveaging, the goal promoted by thelate Dr. Robert Butler, a well-known gerontologist who foughtagainst ageism. So why, then, is hearing care soinaccessible? Cost may be themajor barrier. Nearly all expensesfor hearing care must be paid out-of-pocket, and for many seniors onfixed incomes, that’s sometimeshard to do. Lin told me the aver-age cost of two hearing aids is$4,700 and rarely covered by in-surance. Medicare doesn’t cover hearingexams, hearing aids, or exams forfitting hearing aids. It does, how-ever, cover diagnostic hearing andbalance exams but only if yourdoctor orders those tests to see ifyou need medical treatment. Inthat case, if a person has tradi-tional Medicare and a Medicaresupplement policy, often called aMedigap, he or she has to pay 20percent of the approved amountfor the exam. Some Medicare Ad-vantage plans may include hear-ings tests as part of the extrabenefits they offer. The National Committee andother advocacy groups are cam-paigning to add a hearing benefitto Medicare’s benefit package.Their campaign is bucking thetrend in Washington to cutMedicare benefits by raising theage of eligibility, making richerseniors pay more, and requiringthose with traditional Medigaps tohave more skin in the game. Politicians have already begunredesigning Medigap policies tomake seniors pay more out ofpocket for their care. Beginning in

2020, for example, insurers willnot be allowed to sell Medigappolicies that cover the deductiblesfor Medicare Part B that pays forphysicians’ services, lab tests andhospital out patient care. The the-ory behind this shift is that sen-iors will pay more and thegovernment less thus helping tosave Medicare money. I asked Dan Adcock, the Na-tional Committee’s policy director,about the chances of adding bene-fits to treat hearing loss, or forthat matter vision and dentalcare, when the focus has been oncutting benefits of all kinds. He said one major source offunds to pay for hearing aids couldcome from lowering the price ofwhat Medicare pays for drugs.The 2003 legislation that gaveseniors a drug benefit also prohib-ited the government from negoti-ating prices for the drugs it buys.Drug makers strongly oppose suchnegotiations. Adcock said he remains hopeful.If better hearing means a decreasein dementia, falls and accidents,fewer people would need treat-ment for those conditions. Thesavings could potentially “pay” forthe hearing aids, he said. For now, though, seniors andtheir families are on their own.The National Academies of Sci-ences, Engineering, and Medicineoffer an Action Guide for Individ-uals and Families that suggestsactions people can take to preventhearing loss and strategies forfamilies to cope with it when it oc-curs. It’s available atwww.nas.edu/hearing. What experiences have you or afamily member had with hearingloss and obtaining treatment?Write to Trudy at trudy.lieber-man@gmail.com.

Finding Savingsin Prevention

Earlier this summer, lightningstruck Crow Peak in the BlackHills, setting about 2,700 acres ofland on fire before it was con-tained. The blaze threatened thehomes and ranch lands near itspath as well as the lives of the fire-fighters working to fend off itsflames. Over the course of the lastdecade or so, wildfires across thecountry have grown larger andmore dangerous. In 2015, a recordbreaking 10.1 million acresburned, according to the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture.In total, the fires took the lives ofat least seven firefighters, se-verely damaged 4,500 homes, andcost approximately $2.6 billion. Because of the way funding isallocated, the increased size andscope of fire fighting has drawnmuch needed resources away frompreventing these blazes alto-gether. I, along with many mem-bers on both sides of the aisle,want to see this changed. Morespecifically, I have backed HouseResolution 167, the Wildfire Dis-

aster Funding Act. This legisla-tion would help protect the re-sources we have to keep ourforests healthy, thereby loweringthe risk of costly wildfires. Themost damaging fires would thenbe fought with emergency fund-ing, just like other natural disas-ters are. In the Black Hills, excessivedrought and damaging pine bee-tles have only amplified the risk ofwildfires. Not only is this a signif-icant safety concern, but it alsojeopardizes our state’s tourismand forestry industries – and thepaychecks of the hundreds ofSouth Dakotans employed inthese industries. A number of counties WestRiver have already become eligi-ble for emergency relief due to ex-cessive drought. Even the smallrains some counties have receivedhave simply not been enough toprevent fires or quench dry ranchlands. Years of pine beetle damagehave also turned much of theBlack Hills into a tinder box. Anestimated 430,000 acres – orabout one-third of the Black Hills

National Forest – have been de-stroyed by pine beetles. Throughprovisions I helped write into the2014 Farm Bill, we have been ableto help cut through environmentalred tape, get boots on the groundfaster, and allow the Forest Serv-ice to work on a larger scale inmany cases. So far, nearly onemillion acres of the Black HillsNational Forest have benefitedfrom these provisions, but moremust still be done. Through other efforts, we werealso able to prioritize additionalfunding to help beat the beetle. Simply put, it is much more costeffective and significantly safer toprevent a wildfire than it is tofight one. Our funding allocationsshould reflect that. We are fortunate to have somany dedicated foresters workingin the Black Hills today, fightingto keep our forests healthy, pre-serving our landscape, and, whennecessary, stepping in to protecthomes, livestock and lives. I amincredibly grateful for their effortsand humbled by the risks theytake.

Creating More OutdoorOpportunities for South

Dakotans South Dakota is home to someof the most iconic landmarks inthe United States: Mount Rush-more, Crazy Horse, the Badlands,and if you mentioned Wall Drug tonearly any stranger from NewYork to Los Angeles, they wouldknow the place made famous byfree ice water and five cent coffee. While the attractions them-selves generate nationwide inter-est, South Dakotans do anamazing job highlighting thesewonders and creating additionalopportunities that continue todraw people from across the state,nation and world. These larger-than-life land-marks hardly need an introduc-tion, and for South Dakotans,neither do other statewide treas-ures like the Missouri River – oneof my favorite spots in all of SouthDakota – and Spearfish Canyonthat winds its way through the

Black Hills National Forest. The canyon’s natural beauty isevident to anyone who has drivenfrom Spearfish down to CheyenneCrossing or spent time hiking orcamping in the canyon’s forest.These are good ways for visitorsyoung and old to experience thecanyon, but I believe we are miss-ing some big opportunities on thisnow-federally owned land. After hearing Governor DennisDaugaard’s concerns aboutSpearfish Canyon, I led the state’scongressional delegation in draft-ing legislation that would facili-tate a land transfer between thefederal government and the stateof South Dakota that would in-clude nearly 2,000 acres of land inthe Spearfish Canyon and Bis-marck Lake areas. If enacted, thefederally owned land would beturned over to the state in ex-change for several parcels of state-owned land in Pennington,Lawrence and Lyman counties. Take a look at state parks

across South Dakota, and it ispretty clear why we are pursuingthis land transfer. State officialshave repeatedly shown their abil-ity to both protect the wide arrayof South Dakota’s natural re-sources and provide access to theopportunities they offer. That isexactly what we need in SpearfishCanyon and Bismarck Lake: astrong emphasis on conservationso these resources can be madeavailable for future generations,and at the same time, a willing-ness to provide greater access tothese recreational areas. It is my job as your elected rep-resentative to make sure the fed-eral government is heldaccountable to the people of SouthDakota. Transferring these acresfrom federal to state control willfulfill that responsibility and helpcreate more outdoor opportunitiesfor us and the millions of visitorsto our state each year.

Regulatory Reform andImproving Chemical

Safety Laws In South Dakota, we under-stand that overregulation and toomuch bureaucracy hinder eco-nomic growth and productivity. We work best when governmentgets out of the way, and we havelow unemployment and a strongeconomy to show for it. Unfortu-nately, this tried-and-true princi-ple has seemingly been lost at thefederal level: we have more thanone million federal regulations onthe books today and are writingnew ones at the rate of 3,500 peryear. I have spent a good part ofmy time in the Senate seeking toreform the regulatory environ-ment and reduce the regulatoryburden placed on Americanstoday. While many efforts have beenroad blocked by a regulation-hun-gry president and his Democratcounterparts in Congress, there isat least one regulatory reform suc-cess story. After years of hardwork, this summer the House andSenate passed – and PresidentObama signed into law – theFrank R. Lautenberg ChemicalSafety for the 21st Century Act.The Lautenberg Act is the firstmajor reform of the Toxic Sub-stance Control Act (TSCA) since itwas enacted 40 years ago. TSCA isthe law that gives the Environ-

mental Protection Agency (EPA)authority to review and regulatechemicals in commerce. I applaudSenate Environment and PublicWorks (EPW) Chairman Jim In-hofe, Senator David Vitter, Sena-tor Tom Udall and the entirecommittee for their diligence inseeing this law enacted. The Lautenberg Act will helpmake sure South Dakota familiesare protected from harmful toxicchemicals by creating safeguardsand oversight requirements. Overthe last 40 years, the shortcom-ings of the well-intended but bro-ken TSCA law have made itdifficult for the EPA to monitorthe safety of chemicals found inproducts American families useevery day. It will also support millions ofjobs and spur economic growth byproviding regulatory certainty forAmerican businesses. For toolong, job creators and manufactur-ers have suffered from inconsis-tent guidance of what chemicalscan be used in their products.Now, they will have the certaintythey need to safely invest in newmanufacturing endeavors. When working on the Lauten-berg Act, the Senate EPW Com-mittee, of which I am a member,took into account the oversightthat we have been regularly con-ducting over the Clean Air Actand Clean Water Act, and ad-

dressed problems we found inthese laws in order to make TSCAa smarter, more conservative reg-ulatory agent that won the sup-port of all principal stakeholders.As a result, the Lautenberg Actwill require that the EPA's regu-latory decisions be based on thebest available science and requirethe agency to show their work tothe public and Congress. Further, no longer can chemicalregulations that are the result ofcherry-picked data justify a polit-ically-motivated regulatory out-come that is forced on job creatorsat the state or federal level. In-stead, the EPA will need to justifyits decisions by a substantial evi-dence standard and by usingtransparent scientific informationwhile also taking into accountcosts when proposing any poten-tial regulation. The Lautenberg Act both pro-tects public health and strength-ens our economy, including the $8billion chemical industry that im-pacts more than seven million re-lated American jobs and is thecatalyst for almost all U.S. manu-facturing. It is proof that regula-tory reform is possible, even underthe current political environment.I will continue working with mycolleagues to achieve similar re-forms in other areas of govern-ment.

Blast from the PastFrom the archives of the Pioneer Review

G.A. Rogers of Midland at thePhilip hospital on Monday, March30. Friends at Philip have just re-cently learned of the marriage ofPete Appelhop and Marie O’Brienat Rapid City about six monthsago. Herbert Lampert and BeatriceBuls were married at Sturgis onSaturday, April 4. Markwed Bros. have purchasedRoy Sandal’s house and they planto move it to their location and useit for their general store. A daughter was born to Mr. andMrs. Geo. Oldenberg on Saturday,April 4. With warm weather this weekgiving some assurance that spring

is at last here, Philip high schoolboys are turning to baseball andtrack, and a fairly large numberresponded to Coach Kochender-fer’s call for the first baseball prac-tice Monday afternoon. Several of last year’s first stringplayers are missing but there re-mains a good nucleus aroundwhich to build, and prospects aregood for a fast team. Such playersas Morey Carr, Bill Coyle, BillCarr, Dale Ronning, John Fennell,Bill Reynick, John Ratigan andBerdell Kron remain to build astrong team around. The rest willbe filled in with new and less ex-perienced boys.

April 1966 Toby Hook, son of Mr. and Mrs.Pee Wee Hook, was thrilled whenhis name was drawn from the hat

as winner of the Jaycette “MoneyBunny” last Saturday night at theEaster Parade. Twenty one dollarbills were part of the bunny’s at-tire. The young lad says he’sgonna buy a rod ‘n reel with hiswinnings. Richard Brech escaped injuryFriday morning when the tractorwith the farm hand loaded withsudan tipped on its side. RodneyCook helped upright the tractor. Sooper Dooper offered beefroasts for 49¢ a pound, rib steaks79¢ a pound, bacon 4 pounds for$1.69. Congratulations to Jerry andArlene Falzone on the arrival ofMichael Maurice, born April 5th,a 7 lb. 3 oz. boy born at the Pierrehospital. Congratulations to Mr. and

Mrs. Jim Williams on their newson. Mabel Patton entertained toEaster dinner, Mr. and Mrs. JimHeltzel and family, Harry Ashlockand Johnny Patton. Johnnystarted work for Jack Quinn onMonday. During the Easter Sun-day night, young Pat Heltzel wascalled away from his earthlyhome. We send sincere sympathyto the James Heltzel family andthe Mabel Patton families.

Why “Grass Widow?” Authorities have never defi-nitely been able to trace the originof the term “grass widow.” It is tobe found in many lanuages. Somebelieve that it is a corrupted formof “grace widow” – that is “widowby grace of circumstances.” Thereare no facts to substantiate this

belief, however. According to Dr.Brewer, the modern use of theterm seems to have originatedamong Anglo-Indians, about themiddle of the Nineteenth century,from the practice of Europeanhusbands sending wives to thehills during the hot season inIndia. In this section the grass isplentiful. Another suggestion isthat it arose in America duringthe gold rush in California. A mannot infrequently put his wife andchildren to board while he went tothe diggings. This he called“putting his wife to grass,” as ahorse is put to grass when not inuse for work. Mrs. A.

May 1936Trees

There are many kinds of trees. Elm and oak and pine.But every tree does surely pleaseBecause of its shade divine. Some trees are evergreens, That live all winter through,They look so nice in their beautifulsheens,That other trees feel blue.

The trees are beautiful in the fall,The cold winds turn them pale.But they are just the same to allWho seek shelter from the gale.
