Veterans in our March 27th issue.

we would like to have your mili-
tary photo, name, rank, branch of
service and the time you served
there. If you dont have your mil-
itary photo any photo will do. You
will get your photo back.
You may drop this off at the
The Faith Independent or send to
us at PO Box 38 by Friday,
March 22nd.
Faith voters will be going to
the polls on Tuesday, April 9th to
cast their votes for mayor and
council members.
Incumbent Mayor Glen Haines
is being opposed by Peggy Riley
for the two-year term.
In the council election, voters
will have several to choose from
in Ward 3. Barb Berndt, Gerald
Trainor and Jenni Fisher are run-
ning for the seat currently occu-
pied by Dan Nolan. In Ward 1,
Jerry Spencer is being opposed by
Amy Huber. No one is running
against Karen Inghram in Ward
2. These are all 2-year terms.
There is no school board elec-
tion this year. Brian Simonson
and Scott Vance are unchallenged
for their 3-year terms.
Legislators from both political
parties worked together to pro-
duce a far-reaching economic de-
velopment program for South
Dakota during the 2013 S.D. Leg-
islature.
First talked about behind
closed doors, then finally unveiled
to the public, the so-called Build-
ing South Dakota legislation
sailed through both houses in its
final version this past week.
SB235 was introduced in the
House by Rep. David Lust, R-
Rapid City, who called it a very
significant piece of legislation
on how the two parties worked to-
gether and how economic develop-
ment was seen. Officials were
able to add $7 million of state
funding for the first year, as of
July 1.
That will be followed in suc-
ceeding years with money from
the unclaimed property revenue
collected by the State Treasurer.
First another $7 million, then 50
percent, or about $14 million
thereafter, unless there is not
enough to do so that year.
More importantly, however, is
what the package is designed to
do. The beauty, said Lust, is in
the framework.
The comprehensive ap-
proach, he said, includes creat-
ing large project incentives based
on the reinvestment of tax dollars
already paid, plus the contractors
excise tax receipts to fund hous-
ing projects, reinvest in the REDI
fund, as well as local infrastruc-
ture and local development ef-
forts.
It will be using large projects
to fund other economic develop-
ment tools, said Lust. In addition,
he said, it will use unclaimed
property receipts to fund it.
Not everyone was so enamored
of the bill, although not appar-
ently having a problem with the
aim of the bill. Rep. Stace Nelson,
R-Fulton, and Rep. Lance Rus-
sell, R-Hot Springs, sought to di-
vide the bill up, rather than
having it encompass the numer-
ous topics that it does.
While House Speaker Brian
Gosch, R-Rapid City, said the bill
is all part of one subject eco-
nomic development, Nelson, cit-
ing the State Constitution, said
the topics were not related
enough to be in one bill.
However, not enough of the
House members agreed with him
and the bill went on to be passed,
56-13, more than the two-thirds
needed for the emergency nature
of the bill.
More details in the bill were
ironed out in a conference com-
mittee made up of members from
both the House and Senate later
in the week. Credit for the impe-
tus behind the bill was given to
Sen. Corey Brown, R-Gettysburg.
Democratic House Leader
Bernie Hunhoff, Yankton, noted
that the different aspects of the
program have a lot more ac-
countability and transparency
than previous development pro-
grams.
Voters had thrown out a devel-
opment plan in November that
had been passed by the 2012 Leg-
islature at the urging of Gov.
Dennis Daugaard. The state has
been without an enhancement
program since Jan. 1.

Join the Rapid City USDA
Rural Development staff to learn
about how the Rural Energy for
America Program (REAP) can as-
sist with renewable energy and
energy efficiency projects to cut
costs or generate income. An in-
formational meeting will be held
Tuesday, March 19, 2013, begin-
ning at 10:30 a.m., at the Meade
County Erskine Building, located
at 1300 Sherman Street, Sturgis,
in the second floor training room.
Under the REAP, USDA Rural
Development provides financing
with grants and loan guarantees.
Most rural projects that reduce
energy use and result in savings
for the agricultural producer or
rural small business owner are el-
igible as energy efficiency proj-
ects, including lighting and
heating replacements, upgrading
insulation and windows and
doors.Examples of renewable en-
ergy projects include geothermal
heating and cooling systems,
wind energy, solar, and flexible
fuel pumps for gas or convenience
stores.
Eligible applicants for these
grants are rural small businesses
(must meet SBA size standards),
farmers and ranchers. Applica-
tions for residential building im-
provements will not be eligible.

President Obamas plan for
rural America has brought about
historic investment and resulted
in stronger rural communities.
Under the Presidents leadership,
these investments have empow-
ered rural America to continue
leading the way strengthening
America's economy, small towns
and rural communities.
USDA's investments support
the rural way of life that stands
as the backbone of our American
values. President Obama and
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-
sack are committed to a smarter
use of Federal resources to foster
sustainable economic prosperity.
USDA, through its Rural De-
velopment mission area, has an
active portfolio of more than $176
billion in loans and loan guaran-
tees. These programs are de-
signed to improve the economic
stability of rural communities,
businesses, residents, farmers
and ranchers and improve the
quality of life in rural America.

Communities across America
are gearing up for their St.
Patricks Day celebrations. St.
Patricks Day is supposed to be a
time to celebrate the Irish in all
of us as we gather with friends,
but it can quickly turn to tragedy
if YOU choose to mix drinking
and driving.Lemmon SAFE Com-
munities wants to urge YOU to
keep the roads safe by drinking
responsibly and designating a
sober driver BEFORE the fun be-
gins.
Driving impaired or riding
with someone who is impaired
will take more than the luck of
the Irish. The tragedies and
costs from drunk driving are not
limited to death, disfigurement,
disability or injury. They can also
lead to trauma and financial costs
of a crash or an arrest. That pot
of gold wont be enough to pay for
legal fees, fines, court costs, get-
ting your license back, higher in-
surance rates, lost wagesthe
list goes on.
Plan ahead:
If you are going to drive, NO
amount of alcohol is safe.
If you drink, DONT drive!
Designate a sober driver be-
fore the celebration starts.
If you see someone has had
too much to drink, find them a
way home.
If you see a drunk driver on
the road, dont hesitate to call law
enforcement.
REMEMBER! The luck of the
Irish wont be enough to keep
you safe if you drink and drive!

Hugh Gene Escott, 74, of
Faith, SD passed away peacefully
at his ranch, March 9, 2013.
Gene was born in Faith, SD on
January 4, 1939 to Hank and
Mary Ellen (Heron) Escott, and
came home to the dugout which
they lived in until he was four.
From the stories and the pictures
he drew you can tell that his love
for a good horse started young.
His kids have heard many a story
that centered on he and his
brother Jerry and a horse, some-
times a good one and sometimes
one that they had to break, which
lead to his rodeo career which in-
cluded bronc and bareback riding
as well as being a pickup man for
many rodeos.
Gene attended school at the
Arrowhead country school north
of Faith and once his older sister
Mary Lou was in high school, he
and Jerry boarded in town so they
could attend school. Gene gradu-
ated from high school in 1957 and
helped on the family ranch until
he joined the Army in 1960. He
and several others from Faith
were activated during the Berlin
Crisis and sent to Fort Lewis,
Washington, but their unit was
never shipped overseas. Gene
served in the National Guard
Unit #211 Engineering Company
until 1966. He was always proud
of serving his country.
Gene married Patty Kelly in
1964 and to this union four chil-
dren were born. Gene was very
active in the horse world, first in
the horse show area and then
helping to start the Diamond
Classic a race horse futurity.
Gene developed quite a horse op-
eration and put on an annual
horse sale at the ranch for several
years. Gene loved watching his
horse and cattle genetics at work,
he loved to research pedigrees
and see what cross would be the
most effective and he loved to
teach this research to anyone that
would listen.
Gene was a consummate
sportsman and loved watching all
sporting events, and traveled
many miles to watch his children
and now grandchildren play bas-
ketball, football, wrestle, run
track or rodeo. He loved all sport-
ing events, but a good basketball
game and a good bronc ride were
his favorite things. He was a big
community supporter belonging
to the Faith Booster Club for
many years and helped behind
the scenes with the Faith Stock
Show and Rodeo every year.
Gene is survived by his chil-
dren, Gnene (Clint) Fordyce,
Faith, SD; Gnelle (Scott) Dauwen,
Cambridge, NE; Kelly Escott (fi-
anc Peggy OSullivan) and
Gzelle Buffy (Kevin) Groves, all
of Faith, SD; and their children
Garet and Jozelle (fianc BJ
Humble) Fordyce, Thane (fianc
Emily Wicks), Chance and Duce
Escott, Taylor and Rayce
Dauwen, and Kailyn, Hugh, Har-
land and Kaycee Groves and
great grandchildren, Toarin and
Teedin Humble. He is also sur-
vived by his ex-wife, Patty Kelly,
sister-in-law, Inez Jibben and
brother-in-law, Teddy Imsland,
numerous nieces, nephews and
special cousins.
Gene was preceded in death by
his parents, Hank and Mary Es-
cott, 2 bothers Melvin Spencer
and Jerry Escott; 5 sisters, Ella
Shroeder, Ellen Reed, Arlene Og-
dahl, Jennie Butts, and Mary Lou
King; sister-in-law, Violette
Spencer; and brothers-in-laws,
Bennet Reed, George Ogdahl,
Neal Crowley, Bob Butts, and
Donn King.
The Graveside Service for
Gene will be held at 2:00 pm on
Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at
the Escott Ranch (19884 Arrow-
head Road) 12 miles north of
Faith, SD with Dwayne Vig offici-
ating. Burial will be in the Escott
Family Cemetery with full mili-
tary honors afforded by the
Robert OShea American Legion
Post #106 of Faith. Those attend-
ing the services will meet on the
road by 2:00 pm near the Escott
Ranch and follow the horse drawn
hearse to the burial site for the
graveside service.
Immediately following the
Graveside Service, the Escott
Family has invited all for a time
of fellowship and luncheon at the
Ranch House with special music
by Butch Samuelson and Suzie
Payne.
Serving as casketbearers are
his grandsons.
Visitation was held Tuesday
evening from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at
the Faith Area Memorial Chapel
in Faith.
Condolences may be sent to the
family at www.funeralhomesof-

Faith High School Alumni
Assn, which has been struggling
the last few years because of a
lack of local support, has asked
the Booster Club for help. The
Booster Club will be discussing
this in more detail with the
Alumni Assn. at a March 13th
meeting.
Both organizations would like
to encourage everyone to attend
this meeting to show your support
to both organizations and give
input to help find solutions for the
continuation of the Faith High
School Alumni Assn. Local inter-
est has been hard to find and at
the present time none of the

day, March 13th at 5:00 at the
Faith Library.
some design changes in the proj-
ect. The bill also had an emer-
gency clause, which means it
went into effect as the governor
signed it.
Another of the veteran-related
bills, while tabled in Joint Appro-
priations Committee earlier in
the session, reappeared on the
budget-processing day, March 8.
The amendment adds back the
states share of County Veteran
Service Officers salaries,
$146,875. This had been axed two
years prior during the states belt-
tightening cuts to the budget.
Veterans, veteran groups, county
governments, and numerous leg-
islators decried this action as dis-
respectful to veterans.
The measure, as passed, will
require counties to seek reim-
bursement for salary expenses.
Another bill heard, but de-
ferred, the last day in Joint Ap-
propriations would have provided
$21,000 in travel funds for vet-
eran services officers. In the dis-
cussion, there appeared to be
some confusion as to whether
that was for VSOs, or for the ve-
hicles used to transport veterans
by volunteers.
A bill which would have made
certain military records available
to the public after the veterans
death was killed in committee,
but those testifying for the bill in-
dicated it probably will return
next year with more research and
backing behind it. The records are
of interest to those doing ge-
nealogical research, and currently
are only available to the families
of such veterans.
Another bill that was tabled in
committee earlier in the session
called for the state to establish
and maintain an additional state
veterans and public servants
cemetery and memorial park in
the eastern part of the state. Vet-
erans had pledged to raise the
money for its construction.
Of the 14 veteran-related bills
presented to the S.D. Legislature
this session, six were adopted and
already have been signed by Gov-
ernor Dennis Daugaard.
In fact, the signing became an
occasion, with a large number of
veterans making the trip to
Pierre for the formal signing of
four of them. The formal cere-
mony was held in the rotunda of
the State Capitol, with aging vet-
erans from numerous wars stand-
ing almost to the top of the
marble staircase behind Dau-
gaard
Of the four, the bill designat-
ing March 30 as Welcome Home
Vietnam Veterans Day received
the most resounding response
from the group with cheers and
clapping.
The other three signed by the
Governor during the ceremony in-
cluded bills approving special li-
cense plates for veterans with
disabilities; allow veterans to re-
ceive credit for certain military
training and expertise; and expe-
dite licenses, registrations and
permits for spouses of active duty
military.
Two other measures already
had been signed by Daugaard, he
noted, because of having to sign
them within a certain timeframe.
They set additional working state
holidays: POW.MIA recognition
Day the third Friday in Septem-
ber and Aug. 7 as Purple Heart
Recognition Day.
Signed earlier in the week was
a bill relating to the design, con-
struction, and equipping of a vet-
erans home near Hot Springs.
The bill appropriated $41,271,214
in federal spending authority.
The South Dakota Building Au-
thority may finance up to
$16,365,044 of the costs through
the issuance of revenue bonds, to
make This project had been ap-
proved during the 2012 legisla-
tive session, however this year

Every year, heart disease
takes the lives of more than half
a million Americans. It remains
the leading cause of death in the
United States. The truth is, many
deaths are preventable by living
a healthy lifestyle, says Suzanne
Stluka, SDSU Extension Food &
Families Program Director.
Stluka outlines five steps we
can take to achieve a healthy
heart.
Eat a heart-healthy diet
"Choose food options that can
help avoid heart disease and its
complications," Stluka said.
She encourages readers to eat
plenty of fruits and vegetables
and seek out foods that include
antioxidants, lean proteins, fiber
and omega-3 fatty acids to help
maintain a healthy weight and
keep lipid levels in check for bet-
ter heart health.
Heart-healthy omega-3 fatty
acids are a great source of lean
protein. Omega-3 fatty acids can
help lower your bad cholesterol
and increase your good choles-
terol. The American Heart Asso-
ciation recommends fish like
salmon, tuna and halibut at least
two times per week.
Reach for other lean protein
sources, such as poultry with the
skin removed, pork tenderloin,
top sirloin and lean ground
meats. Dried beans are a great
meat substitute. They are non-
fat, high protein and fiber-rich.
Saturated and trans fats
boost blood cholesterol levels.
Substitute foods high in unsatu-
rated fats for those higher in solid
fats. Saturated fats include fatty
meat, poultry skin, bacon, butter,
cheese, whole milk), while trans
fats are stick margarine and
packaged foods with partially hy-
drogenated oils.
Seek foods that are packed
with antioxidants. Antioxidants
help remove free radicals that can
cause damage to heart cells.
Foods high in antioxidants in-
clude blueberries, cranberries,
strawberries, broccoli, sweet pota-
toes, and spinach.
The grains in whole-wheat
breads and other whole grain
products are great heart-healthy
foods. These whole grains reduce
the bad cholesterol (LDLs) and
add an important source of fiber.
Since fiber fills you up and slows
down digestion, it is important for
maintaining a healthy weight.
Opt for whole-wheat pasta, brown
rice or whole grain cereals.
Reduce your salt intake. Too
much salt is a major cause of high
blood pressure and heart disease.
Try using fresh herbs and a little
touch of lemon juice to flavor your
foods in place of salt. Use fresh or
frozen vegetables in place of
canned vegetables. Seek low-
sodium versions of canned soups.
Limit your use of processed
meats.
Maintain a healthy weight
"Being overweight or obese can
increase your risk for heart dis-
ease," she says.
To determine whether your
weight is in a healthy range,
Stluka says readers can calculate
their body mass index (BMI) at
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevent Assessing Your
Weight web site,
http: / / www. cdc. gov/ heal thy-
weight/assessing/index.html.
Exercise regularly
"Physical activity can help you
maintain a healthy weight and
lower cholesterol and blood pres-
sure," Stluka said.
It is recommended that adults
should engage in moderate phys-
ical activity for at least 30 min-
utes on most days of the week.
Don't smoke
"Cigarette smoking increases
one's risk for heart disease," she
said. "If you don't smoke, don't
start. If you do smoke, quitting
will lower your risk for heart dis-
ease."
She adds that your doctor may
also suggest ways to help you
quit.
Limit alcohol use. Avoid drink-
ing too much alcohol which can
cause blood pressure to rise.

venting heart disease, visit the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, www.cdc.gov or the

Last week Harold and I drove
to Timber Lake on Tuesday to
visit Adele and Denver Enright.
Denver has spent a lot of time in
the Aberdeen hospital fighting
liver cancer. He was finally home
and neither of us thought we were
still fighting the cold and cough
which made it a good time to visit.
He has taken one chemo treat-
ment which shrank the tumor so
we are hopeful he can have an-
other treatment this coming
week. Denvers cousins, Juanita
Pittman of Nisland and Dillard
Enright of Sturgis were there to
visit him on Wednesday. Friday,
granddaughters Haley Enright
and Erin Neuheisel and great
grandchild Hayden Neuheisel
joined other family members for a
visit.
After we left Timber Lake on
Tuesday we drove on to Mobridge
to attend the Faith vs Dupree Re-
gional basketball game. We sat in
front of some folks from east river
who made excellent comments on
both teams. She said, This is
such a wonderful game, both
teams are so respectful and well
behaved. Where were from if
theres not blood its not a foul.
When Josh Afdahl offered a hand
to a Dupree player and helped
him up the comment was, What
a class act! I cant believe how
these kids are! They also looked
over the roster, watched the game
and said, Boy, I bet well see
Faiths sophomore team back
here, look at the size of these guys
and the way they play! Coach
Schauer has made Faith a bas-
ketball town and a team that
draws respect. Nope, he doesnt
please All of us all the time but he
must be doing something right!
Im still amazed that another
town has not hired him away
from Faith. Thanks Doug and
family for all you do for our youth.
Thanks also to all the parents,
grandparents and fans and play-
ers, watching the game is cheap,
clean, down home entertainment.
Kinda hate to see the season end.
Good thing its almost rodeo sea-
son!
We stayed overnight in Mo-
bridge at the Wrangler Inn where
I visited with owner, Jeff Jackson.
Jeffs family lived neighbor to us
at Timber Lake and attended the
same church, Our Saviors
Lutheran. We did some catching
up on family, old neighbors, etc.
The next day I had Harold drive
around Mobridge so I could remi-
nisce. The store names and con-
tents have changed but most are
still occupied. We shopped Dady
Drug, the store where Mrs. Santa
Claus said she used to order my
special diabetic Christmas candy.
Amundson Shoe Repair is gone
but the building is used. That
store always smelled like leather,
saddle soap and Neats foot oil.
They did an excellent job on resol-
ing boots and fixing heels on
shoes. In by-gone days, the Brown
Palace Motel always had a minia-
ture wooden ranch scene in the
window and was a required stop
before we left town. You could not
leave Mobridge without checking
to see what new item had been
added to the scene. In fall it had
leaves and in winter it was
dusted with snow. Someone did a
lot of work and it delighted so
many children to see it. On the
south end of the street, west side
was the rather seedy looking
White Horse Bar. It generally had
an assortment of drunks sitting,
leaning, or laying around it. One
time a graffiti artist used green
spray paint to write on the side,
We give S&H Green Stamps.
The building is there but has
been tinned over and the loitering
crowd was gone so it must have a
different use. The A&W Root
Beer stand is now a different eats
place but it still brings memories
of trips to Mobridge for machin-
ery parts. A trip like that re-
quired a quick stop at A&W for
treats.
We drove around to find the
sale barn where our lives were so
affected by the number of buyers
present and the prices of the live-
stock. Dad worked there as a
brand inspector for the state of
South Dakota along with Pinky
Hollenbeck. The access road has
changed and the building looks
bigger but it is still one of the
places we loved to come, be it cow
or horse sale.
I always look for the remains of
the old highway that came
straight up the hill into town past
Northwestern Lutheran Academy
but it is all but gone. Over on the
west side of the river, it is a visi-
ble straight line coming down the
hill from the Sitting Bull monu-
ment but only because of the line.
Does anyone else remember the
little farmstead that was along
the river? I think it was along the
west end of the bridge. There was
a beautiful barn with a rock foun-
dation. Suppose the foundation
still stands? As we drove over the
big bridge I thought of the times
we drove down by the bottom of
the bridge and looked at the con-
crete pilings and pillars that hold
it up. Hard to believe we ever did
that isnt it? How many feet deep
is the water where we used to
watch the trucks and heavy ma-
chinery work? After all my walks
on memory lane we drove to
Pierre and shopped at Dakota
Mart where we visited with June
Kilby. We went on to Philip Nurs-
ing Home and visited my dad
then came on home. If it werent
for our good Faith kids I probably
would have just stayed home and
missed all that! Which reminds
me, the freshmen class is still
raising money for post prom party
and the seniors are selling
chances on a beautiful star quilt.
If you cant think of a kid to get
tickets from call Diane at school
and she can direct you to someone
with raffle tickets.
Incidentally, Dupree won the
game but they have had a tough
year so they deserve some good
things. Best of luck to the Tigers
as they head to State Bs in Ab-
erdeen. They are quick and capa-
ble. Go get em so they know West
River can play basketball too!
Timber Lake girls placed
eighth in the Girls State B tour-
nament losing the last game to
Wall. I want to remind all the
kids, you are not losers if you
were there and competed. How
many girls B basketball teams
are there in the state that did not
make it as far? Youre winners!
Congratulations for being there.
Dakota Township meets at the
Plainview Hall Tuesday evening
for their annual meeting. Union
township meets on Wednesday
evening at the home of Tucker
Hudson.
Tucker and Bev Hudson drove
to Rapid City on Saturday to
watch grandson Winston Brown
in the Regional AAU Wrestling.
Winston won the championship
so will be heading to State in
Brookings in two weeks. After the
wrestling, they drove out to Her-
mosa and visited some friends
and joined them for supper later
in Rapid City.
It was good to have Jim
Eichinger traveling with his wife
Pastor Connie on Sunday. Jim
has been fighting the battle of
staph infection from a new knee
replacement. Hopefully later this
month they will be able to replace
the knee again.
Our sympathy to the Escott
family in the loss of their dad
Gene. Burial will be at the Escott
Ranch on Wednesday.
Tuesday found Jim and Vonnie
O'Dea in Rapid City at the Re-
gional Basketball Tournament.
The Spearfish Spartans played
Red Cloud, again winning and
getting to go to the State Tourna-
ment next week. They were met
there by Susan O'Dea and 3
daughters, Mary, Rachel, and
Amy. Mary is a student a Black
Hills, Rachel attends Vermillion,
and Amy is at Chadron. Good to
see them. Good luck to the
Spearfish Spartans next week.
Thursday found Amy coming
to see Grandpa and Grandma,
Jim and Vonnie, and to spent the
rest of the week being choregirl.
Amy left Sunday to go back to
Chadron to college.
Garrett Schweitzer and Otto
Qualm came from Gillette,
Wyoming Friday to spend some of
their spring break with Garrett's
grandparents, Jim and Vonnie
O'Dea. Jim is getting lots of help
and Vonnie is doing more cooking
than she is use to, but so glad to
have young college kids that like
to come to the ranch.
Central Meade County is dryer
than last week, and last week was
still dry. Temperatures look to be
mild this week and as high as 62
degrees by Thursday. While dry
ground makes calving much eas-
ier on everyone, winds on dry
ground could create problems like
dust pnemonia if we don't receive
moisture soon.
Meade 46-1 students enjoyed a
very short week with teacher in-
service on Wednesday and spring
break the rest of the week.
Track season will begin on
Monday for Union Center Track
participants. Their first meet
comes early, on Tuesday, March
26 at Douglas. Those participat-
ing in track in Faith will begin on
Monday, March 18 as well. They
will go to Mobridge on Thursday,
April 4 for their first meet.
The Civic Oration Contest took
place on Wednesday at the Com-
munity Baptist Church in Union
Center. Jayda and Rachel Cam-
mack recited their speeches dur-
ing opening services on Sunday.
They both spoke without note
cards and presented interesting,
meaningful orations.
Rural Neighbors will take
place this Thursday afternoon at
the Community Baptist Church of
Union Center. Everyone, regard-
less of age, is welcome to come.
Many of the Faith Longhorn
fans made the trip to Mobridge
last Tuesday night for the re-
gional game against Dupree.
They started out strong with the
lead, but the momentum changed
and they suffered a disappointing
loss. The seniors came out strong
this year and are to be com-
mended for their 17-3 season.
They are Cody Bernstein, Cody
Trainor, Reggie Rhoden, Caden
Smiley, Drew Vance, Mary Shaff,
Wyatt Simonson, and David
Ruth. Outside of one player, this
was the first and last year that
these boys saw real playing time
at the varsity level.
Sandy and Tristen Rhoden
headed from Mobridge to Pierre
last Tuesday night. Sandy is on
the Kids Voting South Dakota
board of directors, so she was
there to help put on the Liberty
Basketball Game. It is a basket-
ball game between the House and
Senate and serves as a fundraiser
to fund KVSD. Tristen spent time
with friends from Sioux Falls at
the Capitol on Wednesday and
got in on a tour of the capitol
dome.
The legislative session came to
an end on Friday, March 8. Leg-
islators are home now and con-
tinue to attend community
meetings and functions.

The South Dakota Department
of Transportation has added com-
mercial vehicle information to its
phone-based 511 Traveler Infor-
mation Service and SafeTrav-
elUSA.com/sd website.
This week, SafeTravelUSA
began displaying commercial ve-
hicle information, including sea-
sonal load restrictions posted on
state highways during the spring
thaw.
The web sites map shows
where 6-, 7-, or 8-ton per axle
weight limits that are currently
in effect or may be needed later in
the spring. Other temporary re-
strictions on commercial vehicle
weight and size related to con-
struction, incidents, or other con-
ditions are also shown.
The SafeTravelUSA map can
be zoomed to show every Inter-
state, U.S., and state highway in
the state. SDDOTs 511 Traveler
Information Service provides the
same information verbally.
The 511 service also informs
travelers of National Weather
Service Warnings for flash floods,
severe thunderstorms, tornados,
blizzards, ice storms, and winter
storms affecting all Interstate,
U.S. and state highways in South
Dakota. The NWS Warnings are
planned to become available on
SafeTravelUSA sometime in
April.
The Department of Trans-
portation provides 511 and Safe-
TraveUSA.com/sd as free services
to improve safety and conven-
ience for highway travelers. Both
services provide information on
road conditions, highway con-
struction, events and incidents
that affect traffic, as well as
weather affecting travel.
Travelers can access South
Dakotas phone-based system by
simply dialing 511 anywhere in

Jason Ingalls and Shelby Cam-
mack were Sunday dinner guests
at the home of Rod, Tracy and
Justin Ingalls. Nathan Ingalls
spent the weekend in Rapid City.
Sunday, Dwayne Vig was able
to fly to Prairie City to preach the
lesson at the church. He stopped
to visit at the Escott Ranch near
Faithon his way home.
Our condolences go out to the
family of Gene Escott as he
passed away this weekend.
Was good to see Mozelle
Hotchkiss at the Opal Commu-
nity Church on Sunday. She is
spending a few days visiting her
son Terry and family here. She
makes her home near Miles City,
Montana, near her daughter,
Sandy, while Dub is cared for at a
nursing home there. Also was
good to have Calvin and Mable
Stomprud back in the country
again. They had spent some time
with daughter Gay and family
during December and January,
then at their town house in Stur-
gis.

We had a variety of tempera-

40s mostly, on Thursday we
reached 50. The weekend was
back in the 30s. This week they
say 50s and 60s! But we sure
could use some moisture, in any
form! Its been quite a while since
weve had anything measurable.
Our condolences to the Gene

at his home on Saturday. Gene
was a quiet man but always en-
joyed visiting. He will be missed

is welcome to attend.
Unfortunately, the Longhorns
wont be going to the State B
Tournament. The Dupree Tigers
defeated them in the Region 8B
match-up last Tuesday night in
Mobridge. The Longhorns and
their coaches can certainly be
proud of their season. They won
the West River Tournament and
the District 16B championship,
and were the Little Moreau Con-
ference Tournament runner-up.
Id say thats a pretty good sea-
son! Not what they or their fans
were hoping for but they gave it
their best to the end.
Spring is right around the cor-
ner. Basketball season is over, its
time for track season to begin.
Practice will begin next Monday,
18th. By the way, the first day of
Spring is next Wednesday, 20th.

Already March!
It seems just like yesterday we
submitted our fall final article!
Here it is spring soon upon us and
time to think gardening! Did you
spend the long winter nights
planning your garden endeavors?
No? Well, here is something to
think about and plan.
As you know the Master Gar-
deners sponsor a Pumpkin Fest in
October which has a Heaviest
Pumpkin contest. Now is the time
to think about planting and pam-
pering a pumpkin for the contest.
So far the heaviest since the con-
test began is 84 pounds. Surely
there is someone out there that
can break that record!
World record pumpkins tip the
scales in the neighborhood of
1,800 pounds, of course that takes
years of practice by the growers.
Amazingly most of the seed for
giant pumpkins is produced by
Dill Pumpkin Farm, a family
heirloom since 1870, located in
Nova Scotia, Canada.
The tricks of the trade are a
carefully guarded secret with
each grower having their own
formula. Some of the tricks in-
clude starting the seed indoors by
no later than the end of April and
getting those transplants out be-
tween May 10 and May 15. Here
this would entail a hot cap to pro-
tect it from those late frosts that
can occur as late as the first week
of June.
Avid growers set aside at least
500 square feet of soil fortified
with an organic and steady diet of

compost, compost tea and other
secret home brews of nutrition for
the pampered vine.
Flowers are hand pollinated,
as soon as a fruit has been set on
the vines, all additional fruits are
disposed of with all of the vines
nutrients going to just the one
pumpkin. The bearing vine is
buried underground as it grows
giving it additional roots to feed
the one pumpkin. Suckers must
be pruned as well. As the pump-
kin grows above the protective
leaves of the vine it is blanketed
to protect it from sunburn, barri-
cades are built to protect it from
the wind. Pampered indeed!
Those world record holding
pumpkins can gain as much as 20
pounds in 24 hours at some point
during their 130 day life span.
Unbelievable! An 1800 pound
pumpkin, assuming a 130 day
growing season would have to
gain an average of almost 14
pounds per day!
Naturally the Master Garden-
ers do not expect to check in any
1800 pounders this October but
a 100 plus pounder certainly
could be a possibility, maybe even
several. So you pumpkin growers
get busy, order your seed! The
Master Gardeners are not eligible
for a prize but may display a big
pumpkin.
When snow falls, nature lis-
tens.~Antoinette van Kleeff
state, such as federal budget cuts,
healthcare reform and an uncer-
tain economy.
The Governor, said Peters, left
$26.5 million in one-time funds in
FT2013 on the bottom line and
the change in estimates provided
another $5.1 million, for a total of
$31.6 million.
We were able to invest that
money in K12 education,
providers, higher education,
scholarships and economic devel-
opment, saod Peters.
The total general fund spend-
ing for FY2014, she said, will be
$1,327,249,577, which will allow
the FY2014 budget to be balanced
both nominally and structurally.
General fund spending was
broken down as education, 46
percent; taking care of people, 39
percent; protecting the public 10
percent, and all the rest of state
government at only 5 percent.
Major accomplishments, said
Peters, was the 3 percent infla-
tionary increase in state aid to
general education, plus a 1 per-
cent one-time increase in the cur-
rent year for K12 education.
Postsecondary technical insti-
tutes received the same 3 percent
inflationary increase, plus 1 per-
cent one-time increase.
The Board of Regents received
a $5.4 million increase to their
base budget, plus $3.7 million in
one-time funding.
Providers will receive a 3 per-
cent increase in their ongoing al-
locations with an additional 1
percent one-time rate increase for
the remainder of this fiscal year.
A 3 percent salary policy was
given to state employees, plus a
movement to job worth, said Pe-
ters.
We were also able to fund $4.1
million in ongoing general funds
and $3 million in one-time gen-
eral funds, she said, for the new
Public Safety Improvement Act.
This will improve public safety,
Peters said, by investing in pro-
grams, practices and policies that
have been proven to reduce recidi-
vism, hold offenders more ac-
countable by strengthening
community supervision, and re-
duce corrections spending and
focus prison space on violent,
chronic, and career criminals.
This is a budget that is respon-
sible and will continue to serve
our citizens and our state for the
coming year and positions our
state for future growth.
The House adopted the bill
with a 48-17 vote, and the Senate
adopted it 31-4.
Legislators finished their work
by passing a $4.1 billion general
appropriation bill March 8, en-
compassing more money for
schools and Medicaid providers
than in the most recent past.
Not everyone was happy, how-
ever, with the allocation of funds
during the final garnering of
amendments to HB1185, and
$1.72 million was left on the table
unallocated. But legislators were
assured that $1.7 million was not
too much.
Rep. Susan Wismer, D-Britton,
a frequent critic of how the state
spends its money, said last years
$1.6 million left on the table had
resulted in $47 million going into
reserves. She opposed passage of
the bill with that amount of
money unappropriated.
Wismer, fellow Democrats, and
several renegade Republicans
were critical of the money that
should or could have gone to help
K-12 education and Medicare
providers, but instead was spent
on constructing new buildings,
tearing down old buildings and
putting more money into re-
serves.
Sen. Billie Sutton, D-Burke,
who also serves on the Joint Ap-
propriations Committee, was gen-
erally kinder and more
conciliatory in his attempt to
amend the budget. But, the frus-
tration was evident. The attempt
had been to give Medicare
providers another $4.6 million
and education another $2.1 mil-
lion, both in one-time money.
They also sought to provide
$21,000 to a veterans service pro-
grams, which helps pay vehicle
expenses for volunteer drivers
who transport veterans to med-
ical appointments.
It would also have taken away
$500,000 that appropriation com-
mittee legislators had voted for
Legislative Research Council pro-
grams that assist legislators.
Key Republicans, on the other
hand, were happy with the re-
sults of the budget work.
Sen. Deb Peters, R-Hartford,
who chairs the Senate side of the
Joint Appropriations Committee,
said once again, education re-
ceived the first dollar and the last
dollar.
Both education and Medicaid
providers, she said, have received
one-time funds for the current fis-
cal year, as well as next.
Utilizing one-time funds,
said Peters, allows us to continue
to be conservative with our ongo-
ing spending with all the uncer-
tainties that lie ahead of our
Legislature passes $4.1 billion
budget on final day of main run

For the second straight year,
the District 16B champions Faith
Longhorns were defeated by the
District 15B Dupree Tigers for
the Region 8B title and the berth
to the State B Tournament. The
match-up in Mobridge on Tues-
day, March 5th drew big fan sup-
porters for both sides.
The Longhorns were 19-2 on
the season with both losses com-
ing from the Dupree Tigers with
only 1 loss this season.
The Longhorns got off to an
early lead but the Tigers tied it up
in a hurry. The boys got the lead
again but once again the Tigers
evened the score and maintained
the lead throughout the rest of
the game. Dupree held a five
point lead at the end of the first
two quarters but increased the
lead in the second half. Cody
Trainor was the high scorer of the
night for both teams with 26
points. Duprees Nate Widow had
21 points on the night.

The 2013 session of the South
Dakota legislature has finished.
We return to Pierre for Veto Day
on March 25, but so far the gover-
nor hasnt vetoed any bills.
Friday started off on a positive
note early that morning when
Gov. Dauggard invited Sen. Mike
Vehle and me to his office to
watch him sign our bill, SB 205,
to put wolves on the predator list
in South Dakota. Just as I re-
turned to caucus, Rep. Scott Craig
got a call from the governors of-
fice asking Rep. Craig, Rep.
Hickey, Sen. Tiezan, and me to
come down while he signed our
bill, HB 1087, that provides for
the creation of school sentinel
programs and for the training of
school sentinels. The governors
office staff took pictures of both
bill signings and I think Ill print
them off for show and tell!
Another of my bills, HB 1123
to increase the surcharge on
hunting licenses for predator con-
trol, to make an appropriation,
and to declare an emergency, had
a long, torturous trip that ended
late in the night on Friday. HB
1123 passed the House on Mon-
day. Tuesday the Senate
amended a one-time appropria-
tion of $300,000 into it to cover
the extra predator control costs
until the hunting license sur-
charge revenue starts coming in
when the law takes affect in July
and then passed HB 1123. Since
the bill was amended in the Sen-
ate, it had to go to conference
committee and the House appro-
priators strongly opposed it be-
cause they had already killed
Senate Majority Leader Russ
Olsons bill, SB 238 to appropri-
ate $300,000 to the animal dam-
age control fund for predator
control services. The conference
committee invited Tony Leif from
GF&P to sit down with us to find
a solution that would provide the
needed funding until the sur-
charge starts. He offered a cash
transfer of $160,000 from GF&P
that will be repaid with interest
when the surcharge money starts
coming in. The conference com-
mittee accepted the compromise
and sent the bill back to the Sen-
ate. The Senate finally passed the
amended HB 1123 at 11:00 Fri-
day night and sent it to the gov-
ernors office.
The legislature spent all day
dealing with amendments to SB
90, which is the General Appro-
priations bill. SB 90 revises the
General Appropriations Act for
fiscal year 2013, provides funding
for the increased costs associated
with the employee health insur-
ance and internal service bu-
reaus, and declares an
emergency. After a long discus-
sion, the House passed SB 90 and
sent it on to the Senate. The Sen-
ate also had long discussions be-
fore they passed the G bill at
midnight. Needless to say, most
of us spent what was left of the
night in Pierre and drove home on
Saturday.
These are some of the bills the
legislature sent to the governor
this week:
HB 1050 to make an appropri-
ation for costs related to the sup-
pression of mountain pine
beetles, to establish a cost share
program with the counties in the
state, and to declare an emer-
gency.
HB 1122 revises requirements
relating to health insurance plans
for county officers and employees.
HB 1137 impacts education in
South Dakota, makes an appro-
priation, and declares an emer-
gency.
HB 1164 establishes a class-
room innovation grant program
and makes an appropriation.
HB 1165 revises provisions
concerning the agricultural land
task force.
HB 1168 is my bill to allow
predator control boards to in-
crease levies to pay for predator
control if approved by a majority
of the livestock producers within
the district.
HB 1184 appropriates 4 mil-
lion dollars to the Department of
Game, Fish and Parks to fund
iprovements to the state park sys-
tem. You can bet I voted NO on
this one!
HB 1126 revises the massage
therapy licensing requirements.
HB 1144 permits the eutha-
nization of wildlife seriously in-
jured in motor vehicle accidents.
HB 1098 requires the Legisla-
ture to approve bonds for lease
purchase agreements with the
four postsecondary technical in-
stitutes, and to approve bonds for
lease purchase agreements with
Western Dakota Technical Insti-
tute and Southeast Technical In-
stitute.
HB 1234 provides a limited ex-
ception to the provisions that ex-
empt sport shooting ranges from
the public nuisance laws and to
declare an emergency.
SB 166 extends the number of
years that permits to carry a con-
cealed weapon are valid from four
years to five years.
SB 106 prohibiting minors
from using wireless communica-
tion devices while operating
motor vehicles upon the public
highways was amended to make
it a secondary offense.
SB 59 prohibits the disposal of
oil and gas field wastes unless it
comes from energy development
within South Dakota.
SB 194 extends the sunset date
for expenditures from a school
district's capital outlay fund.
SB 151 clarifies the mainte-
nance responsibilities on unim-
proved section lines.
SB 28 revises the property tax
levies for the general fund of a
school district.
SB 235 creates the building
South Dakota fund, deposits
money into the building South
Dakota fund, creates programs
and funds to enhance economic
development, makes continuous
appropriations to these funds,
provides reinvestment payments
to stimulate economic develop-
ment and investment, revises the
state aid to general education for-
mula by including an adjustment
for students with limited English
proficiency, and to declare an
emergency.
SB 195 establishes incentives
for wind energy facilities, revises
the amount that may be rebated
for the gross receipts tax on elec-
tricity produced on wind farms,
provides a penalty for filing a
false affidavit, and makes a con-
tinuous appropriation.
SB 233 creates the critical
teaching needs scholarship pro-
gram and makes an appropria-
tion to the education enhance-
ment trust fund to provide for the
annual funding of the scholar-
ships.
SB 237 to appropriate funds
for deposit into the need-based
grant fund, to provide for annual
funding of the need-based grant
fund with a portion of the funds
received from the education en-
hancement trust fund, and to de-
clare an emergency.
SB 39 to establish a penalty for
a juvenile convicted as an adult of
a Class A or B felony and allowing
a sentence of up to life imprison-
ment after a sentencing hearing.

Legislative Update
Rep. Betty Olson
Today's cattle ranchers may
experience information overload
when trying to make genetic pur-
chasing decisions.
"There is an abundance of in-
formation available to ranchers to
help make genetic decisions. The
number of traits for which we
have Expected Progeny Differ-
ences (EPDs) has increased to in-
clude carcass traits as well as
traits such as stayability and dis-
position. All that information
doesn't make the selection task
easy," said Warren Rusche, SDSU
Extension Cow/Calf Field Special-
ist. "It can be a bit like picking
your 20 favorite George Strait
songs; some hard decisions need
to be made."
He adds that one challenge
when using EPDs is balancing be-
tween different traits and what
kind of trade-offs cattle producers
can afford to make.
"Perhaps there are two bulls
you're considering; one offers ex-
cellent growth performance and
acceptable carcass traits, the
other just meets your target for
growth but the bull's marbling
EPD is exceptional. Traditional
trait EPDs don't do a very good
job of telling us which one of these
two bulls will be more profitable
to own," he said.
EPDs also don't address costs.
"We all know that selecting for
more growth and more maternal
milk in the sires of our replace-
ments can increase our weaning
weights," Rusche said.
Cattle producers also know
that those higher producing cows
require more nutrients - and that
costs money. In this situation,
Rusche says producers could use
a tool that evaluates the value of
the outputs and also considers
input costs. Fortunately those
kinds of tools are becoming more
available in the form of selection
indexes.
Selection indexes, Rusche ex-
plains, use the trait EPDs in an
economic model to put a dollar
value on an individual bull. He
refers to a graph and shares an
example.
"For example, the Angus Asso-
ciation publishes a Weaned Calf
Value ($W) index that considers
birth weight, weaning weight,
maternal milk and mature cow
weight," he said, referencing the
Table. "The model considers how
changes in those traits might af-
fect percent calf crop and weaning
weights, and also considers what
might happen to feed costs over
time using real world prices for
both cattle and feed."
When using selection indexes,
Rusche says cattle producers still
need to use their common sense.
"We could have a case where a
bull might be undesirable for one
trait, but so superior for one or
two that he still ranks very high
on an index," he said. "A rancher
might want to set some minimum
or maximum values for some
traits to make sure that the bull
will "fit" in their system."
Also, Rusche explains that
these indexes are set up using a
one-size fits all approach that
may not exactly work in every
cattle producer's situation.

or contact your local SDSU Ex-
tension Regional Center and visit

Specialist.
Using indexes to guide
bull buying decisions
income pregnant women. While it
was expected to cost over
$500,000, it was seen as at least
a break-even venture, as preg-
nant women without pre-natal
care often have premature babies
with more health problems and
extended hospitalizations.
The controversial school sen-
tinel program made it through
both the House and Senate and
now is on the Governors desk for
his consideration. At the discre-
tion of local school boards, armed
sentinels may be placed in their
school buildings. The boards de-
cision to put the program in place
must be made in public session,
and it may be referred to a vote of
the public.
Judicial candidates now may
be endorsed or nominated by po-
litical parties. The end of the ban
was requested by Supreme Court
Chief Justice David Gilbertson,
following a federal court ruling
against a Montana law similar to
South Dakotas ban. The Gover-
nor signed the bill March 4.
The Governor signed a bill
March 8 that ends the practice of
voters being able to cast absentee
ballots at the courthouse on elec-
tion day. Those who cant get to a
polling place can still receive an
absentee ballot by messenger that
day. The measure is aimed at
lessening voter fraud and lighten-
ing the load of county auditors on
election day.
Legislation was passed by
both houses that approves
$215,000 spending authority to
Heres a brief review of some of
the S.D. Legislatures recent ac-
tion.
Two new scholarship pro-
grams were created and now are
waiting the Governors signature.
The first sets up a program to
award scholarships based on fi-
nancial needs of students. The
second will award scholarships to
students who will teach in criti-
cal-need fields.
More money for predator con-
trol in the state will come from an
additional $1 surcharge on most
hunting licenses. In addition, the
Game, Fish and Parks will be al-
lowed to shift $150,000 in its cur-
rent budget to this effort, so that
it can begin this spring. Later, the
GF&P may shift back the same
amount when the surcharges
from hunting licenses start com-
ing in.
Handheld communication de-
vices, such as cell phones, will be
prohibited to be used by teenaged
motorists with instruction or re-
stricted minors permits. Those
who are 16- to 18-years-old who
have a full operators permit
wont be affected. It will be a sec-
ondary offense, rather than one
which would be grounds to stop a
driver. The bill was the only one
of four recommended by a teen
driving task force to make it
through both houses.
Despite a change in the Gov-
ernors thinking, legislators killed
a measure March 8 that would
have provided government-
funded prenatal care to more low-
raze three buildings at the STAR
Academy in Custer County. None
of the money, said Rep. Jim Bolin,
R-Canton, will come from the gen-
eral fund. Included in the esti-
mated cost: construction of a
maintenance building.
Bonding authority for each of
the states tech schools was in-
creased by $38 million per school.
All future bonds have to be
brought back to the Legislature
for approval. The measure awaits
the Governors approval.
South Dakota has been the
only state in the union without a
needs-based scholarship program
for college students. With the pas-
sage of SB237 that is about to
change. Students with the largest
needs will be the first in line.
Sen. Russell Olson, R-Wentworth,
said this is not a handout,, but a
hand up.
Through a hog house ma-
neuver, SB76 was changed from a
bill concerning Educational Serv-
ice Agencies in the state, to one
which provides funding in the
Governor's Office of Economic De-
velopment for enhancing the mil-
itary value of Ellsworth Air Force
Base, and to declare an emer-
gency. It rolls $250 million un-
used from the 2013 general
budget into the FY2014 budget.
Rep. Brian Gosch, R-Rapid City,
said Ellsworth is an economic
base for the whole state, and it
was a no brainer to approve this
particular bill, since it would help
maintain the viability of the base.

Common-sense efficiencies and
record accomplishments
On March 1, across-the-board
spending cuts, known here in
Washington as the sequester,
took effect when Congress was
unable to reach a new agreement
on the budget. These cuts are re-
quired by law for every item
within USDAs budget, and they
will impact all of the work we do
in some way.
Under the Obama Administra-
tion, USDA already has made his-
toric efforts to streamline
operations and safeguard tax-
payer dollars. Under our Blue-
print for Stronger Service, we
have carried out workforce reduc-
tions, closed offices and laborato-
ries, and streamlined IT services.
We have cut our travel costs by
more than 42 percent since 2010.
Were always looking for new
ways to save more.
These targeted efforts have al-
ready saved taxpayers more than
$700 million. In fact, our operat-
ing budget today is lower than it
was in 2009.
At the same time, we have
achieved record results record
farm loans, record conservation
efforts, record assistance for rural
businesses, and much more. This
was made possible by a concerted
effort at every level of USDA to
find smart, targeted, common-
sense efficiencies.
The across-the-board sequester
cuts limit our ability to achieve
additional common-sense budget
reductions. For example, USDA
will be forced to carry out fur-
loughs of food inspectors an ac-
tion that will force plant
Ag Secretary Vilsacks
Column
shutdowns and put a new strain
on livestock producers.
As USDA moves forward to im-
plement the sequester as required
by Congress, I am committed to
carrying out these cuts in a man-
ner that is fair, and one that pro-
vides the least possible disruption
for USDAs customers. The indis-
criminate nature of the sequester
will make both of these goals dif-
ficult, but we take our work seri-
ously. We are not going to let up
in our efforts to strengthen the
rural economy and build up new
economic opportunity in rural
America.
Rural America has momentum
today, growing more food, more
jobs, and more opportunity than
ever before. The sequester threat-
ens to deeply impact this
progress. Thats why I hope that
Congress will take action soon to
avert these harmful cuts, and let
us at USDA get back to finding
common-sense budget reductions
that have already saved hundreds
of millions of dollars.
The South Dakota Department
of Agriculture (SDDA) is celebrat-
ing 110 years!
On Feb. 22, Reps. Gary Cam-
mack of Union Center, Dennis Fe-
ickert of Aberdeen and Charlie
Hoffman of Eureka and Sen.
Shantel Krebs of Renner offered a
legislative commemoration to
compliment SDDAs many years
of service to the states farmers
and ranchers.
In honor of SDDAs service, the
department will hold office tours
and provide information on serv-
ices available to farmers and
ranchers from 3-5 p.m. CDT on
Tuesday, March 19. Tours are
open to the public. For more infor-
mation, contact Susan Zilverberg
at 605-773-5425.
SDDA is proud to have served
producers in the state for 110
years. As the states No. 1 indus-
try, the department works to pro-
mote, protect, preserve, and
improve South Dakotas agricul-
ture for today and tomorrow.
In 1885, South Dakota and
North Dakota, jointly known then
as Dakota Territory, were man-
aged by a Board of Agriculture.
When South Dakota and North
Dakota officially became states in
1889, the board continued to
manage both areas with citizens
from each state. As each state
continued to separate and grow
on their own, South Dakota devel-
oped the Department of Horticul-
ture, Manufactories, and Domes-
tic Arts, established in 1903.
Frank M. Byrne was appointed
the first South Dakota Secretary
of Agriculture by Gov. William H.
McMaster in 1921, at which time
the Department of Marketing
was established. During Byrnes
tenure, he worked tirelessly to
create the South Dakota Depart-
ment of Agriculture, including the
divisions of Animal Industry
Board; Markets, Statistics, and
Immigration; Inspections; and
Game and Fish.
Over the years, the depart-
ment has been re-evaluated. It
currently consists of seven divi-
sions: the Office of the Secretary;
Agricultural Policy; Agricultural
Development; Agricultural Serv-
ices; Resource Conservation and
Forestry; Wildland Fire; and
State Fair Park.
Agriculture is South Dakota's
No. 1 industry, generating over
$21 billion in annual economic ac-
tivity and employing more than
122,000 South Dakotans. The
South Dakota Department of
Agriculture's mission is to pro-
mote, protect, preserve and im-
prove this industry for today and
tomorrow. Visit us online at

After a decade of sniffing out
explosives with a nose-to-the-
ground work ethic, Jet is retiring
from the South Dakota Highway
Patrol.
Jet, an 11-year-old Belgian
sheepdog, began his career with
the Highway Patrol in 2003 as a
police service dog trained to de-
tect the odors of many different
compounds that could be used to
construct explosive devices.
Jet officially retired on
Wednesday, March 6. Gov. Den-
nis Daugaard issued a proclama-
tion marking the occasion, saying
It is important to honor veteran
police service dogs who are faith-
ful, loyal and devoted to their re-
sponsibilities and provide a
valuable service to their South
Dakota communities.
Lt. Scott Sheldon has been the
dogs handler for the past decade.
The K-9 explosives detection
unit is different from the K-9 nar-
cotics unit, Sheldon said. Were
not like the dope dogs. We dont
want to find anything.
Jet has been used to sweep
through the State Capitol build-
ing and other facilities and loca-
tions, says Col. Craig Price,
superintendent of the Highway
Patrol.
He is also able to detect re-
cently fired weapons at venues
such as the Sturgis Motorcycle
Rally, Price said. He has been a
great partner to Lieutenant Shel-
don and has helped with many
seizures and the capture of crim-
inals.
Price said the explosive-detec-
tion duties will be assumed by
Trooper Michael Dale and PSD
Raica.
Based in Pierre and deployed
throughout the state, Jet com-
pleted protective sweeps of the
State Capitol during legislative
sessions, Supreme Court hear-
ings and other official functions.
Sheldon and Jet also responded to
bomb threats and provided digni-
tary protection functions includ-
ing assignments for the U.S.
Secret Service, police and sheriffs
departments, schools and univer-
sities.
Jet is a very social dog but
knows when it is time to work,
Sheldon said. When he is off-
duty, I give him his food and his
kennel. He doesnt need to worry
about obedience training after
work. Just like any other enforce-
ment agent with the Patrol, Jet
becomes more focused when he is
on duty.
Jet will be released from South
Dakota service into the care of
Sheldon and his family.
Ill have to keep him in his
kennel for a while when I am put-
ting on my uniform, Sheldon
said. He knows when it is time to
go to work, and now that he wont
get to go with me, hell be a little
cranky.

USDA Announces 45th Gen-
eral Sign-Up for the Conser-
vation Reserve Program
U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture (USDA) will conduct a four-
week general sign-up for the
Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP), beginning May 20 and
ending on June 14. CRP has a 27-
year legacy of protecting the na-
tion's natural resources through
voluntary participation, while
providing significant economic
and environmental benefits to
rural communities across the
United States.
"Since the 1980s, the CRP pro-
gram has established itself as a
benchmark in voluntary conser-
vation efforts, providing Ameri-
can producers with assets to
address our most critical resource
issues. Last year, during one of
the worst droughts in genera-
tions, the CRP proved vital in pro-
tecting our most environmentally
sensitive lands from erosion.
Emergency haying and grazing
on CRP lands also supplied criti-
cal feed and forage for livestock
producers due to the drought.
And the program continues to
bring substantial returns to rural
areas, attracting recreation and
tourism dollars into local
economies while sustaining natu-
ral and wildlife habitat for future
generations."
Additional sign-ups for contin-
uous CRP programs-such as
Highly Erodible Land Initiative
and Initiative to Restore Grass-
lands, Wetlands and Wildlife-will
be announced in spring 2013.
Contracts on 3.3 million acres
of CRP are set to expire on Sept.
30, 2013. Producers with expiring
contracts or producers with envi-
ronmentally sensitive land are
encouraged to evaluate their op-
tions under CRP.
Producers that are accepted in
the sign-up can receive cost-share
assistance to plant long-term, re-
source-conserving covers and re-
ceive an annual rental payment
for the length of the contract (10-
15 years). Producers also are en-
couraged to look into CRP's other
enrollment opportunities offered
on a continuous, non-competitive,
sign-up basis and that often pro-
vide additional financial assis-
tance. Continuous sign-up dates
will be announced at a later date.
For more information on CRP
and other FSA programs, visit a
local FSA service center or
www.fsa.usda.gov.
USDA is an equal opportunity
provider, employer and lender.
To file a complaint of discrimina-
tion, write to USDA, Assistant
Secretary for Civil Rights, Office

ence Avenue, S.W., Washington,

Secretary of State Jason Gant
has seen another record increase
in the number of permits to carry
a concealed pistol issued during
the month of February.
Secretary Gant stated, During
the month of February, 5,305
Concealed Pistol Permits were is-
sued. This is 683 more than Jan-
uary of 2013 and 3,534 more than
February of 2012. This trend of
new and renewals of Concealed
Pistol Permits is breaking all pre-
vious records at an unprece-
dented rate.
Concealed pistol permit regis-
trations and renewals have con-
tinually increased over the past
three years:
2011 2012 2013 thru 2-28
15,794 18,031 9,927
January 2012 January 2013
17,85 4,622
February 2012 February 2013
1,771 5,305
Gant said, An individual who
wishes to carry a concealed pistol
on or about his person or in a ve-
hicle must obtain a permit to
carry a concealed pistol. A person
does not need a permit to own a
pistol, keep it in his/her home,
business, or property, or visibly
carry it.

Concealed Pistol Permit, please
