South Dakota 4-H looks for host families

The 4-H Youth Exchange programs provide youth with the opportunity to reach their full potential as future leaders in communities, as well as, in the workplace, says Suzanne Geppert, SDSU Extension 4-H Youth Partnerships Field Specialist. Exchanges mobilize volunteers and communities to meet the needs of youth by creating non-formal, educational opportunities to help youth thrive in a complex and changing world; allowing them to problem solve and plan through various life skill development opportunities utilizing the 4-H Guiding Principles, she said. These life skills can be developed even further by allowing our youth to advance their practices in an International Exchange. Geppert explains that state and county exchanges are basically a series of learning experiences in which 4-H members visit the homes and communities of 4-H members in another geographical location, and then receives visitors in return. Counties usually host a group one year and return the visit the following year. 4-H also provides its members with the opportunity to travel internationally. Alan Lambert, South Dakota 4-H International Programs Volunteer Coordinator, manages the exchanges which include delegates travelling abroad, inbound exchangees and the host families needed for home stays. Lambert says host families are currently being sought for one month 4-H International Exchange Programs. Currently Lambert is seeking host families for 24 teens from Japan; ages 1216. The teens will be staying with local families as part of a two-way exchange program sponsored through 4-H and the Japanese LABO organization. The Japanese youth come eager to live our everyday life and make friends that will last a lifetime, Lambert said. The exchangees will stay with their South Dakota host families from July 22, 2013 to August 18. The program accepts host families with children of the same gender and about the same age. Families without children in this age range are encouraged to host an adult chaperone for two weeks. Families do not need to be involved in 4-H to host, they just need a willingness to share their home and world, Lambert said. The Japanese LABO Exchange, in cooperation with 4-H International Exchange Programs, is one of the largest exchange programs involving North American and Japanese youth in the world. Since it began in 1972, more than 40,000 students have stayed with families in 39 states including South Dakota, and more than 6,300 youth have lived with host families in Japan. There is no need to know the Japanese language. The students have been studying English, and are anxious to use it. The program gives host families a chance to share their culture, friendship and family life with an exchange student, and at the same time learn about Japanese life. The home stays last only a month, but the effects last a lifetime, he said. Information and host family applications about the program are available by contacting a local 4-H leader, county extension office or through the South Dakota 4-H Leaders website: http://www. southdakota4hleaders.com/page_1 4.html. For more information contact, Lambert at 605-366-6107 or alanelambert@gmail.com.

Jones County school board discusses new policy options for exercise facility
by Karlee Moore The Monday, April 8 school board meeting, held at 8 p.m., was brief and to the point. Those in attendance included: Larry Ball, Lorrie Esmay, Brett Nix, Chad Whitney, Carrie Lolley, JayTee Sealey, Ashley Geigle, Cheryl Iversen and Karlee Moore. The board gathered before the meeting at 7:30 p.m. to review scholarship applications. The agenda and bills were approved, as well as minutes for special meetings on March 25, April 2, April 3, and April 4. Gary Knispel was not on hand to present a financial report, but had submitted one previously, which was approved. The board made a motion to approve Resolution #355, which would authorize membership in the South Dakota High School Athletes Association for the 20132014 school year. Next on the agenda was a motion to offer 2013-2014 contracts to certified staff at the 20122013 rate. This motion was tabled until a special meeting that was scheduled for Wednesday, April 10. Next, the board approved a motion to withdraw from Three River Special Services Benefit Group, effective June 30, 2013. The district will still be part of Three Rivers; however, they will not be participating in the health insurance program. The board approved an open enrollment request, then discussed a Homeland Security walk through that was scheduled for Wednesday, April 17. Homeland Security will provide recommendations, and the walk through will make the school eligible for additional grants for security items such as door buzzers and door cameras. Esmay said of these security measures, It will be something that well be looking at. Next, the board turned its attention to the discussion items. The 2013-2014 calendar was again discussed. Nix asked if having semester tests before Christmas break worked this year. Ball said that it worked very well, since the Jones County Invitational tournament is always scheduled soon after school resumes in January. Having semester tests during the week of the tournament was difficult for students and staff alike. Ball then brought up the recently passed Sentinel Bill. Ball told the board that it is something that they should think about and decide what they want to do, if anything. Nix asked if anyone had any suggestions, but the issue did not have any additional discussion. Ball said that he had recently contacted other schools that offer exercise facilities to the public and had asked for copies of waiver and policies for their facilities. He said he would like the board to make a decision on policy issues before school is out. He recommended that everyone wishing to use the facility be issued a key card, and the doors should be kept locked at all times, especially during school hours. Ball then said that the school board election will be held on Tuesday, June 4. The meeting then entered executive session at 8:30 p.m.

When asked what inspired him to start working with monster trucks, Venard said, It started with me mud racing around here (Murdo) to going out a limb and sending in a resume.

West Side News

Jones County folks buckled in for yet another snowstorm as this reporter sat before her computer on Tuesday morning. Im just thankful for storm warnings that our pioneer forefathers did not have access to. Even if the storm passes over, it is a good feeling to be as prepared as possible. I heard the grocery store in Murdo was very busy on Monday with shoppers stocking up on essentials. Calving is the big news yet for the west side as it is across the county. Doesn't leave time for much socializing other than a quick visit at church and/or Bible study. Hey, isn't it good to see green grass?

Murdo Coyote Obituaries

John Geisler
Army 1903rd Engineer/Aviation Battalion. After his honorable discharge from the Army in 1953, John collected antique cars from across the Midwest. His father told him, John, you have to do something with those cars, and in 1954 John, his father, Dick, and brother, Dave, opened the Pioneer Auto Museum with 25 cars on display in a single building. John eventually received his bachelors degree from Concordia College in Seward, Neb. He held many jobs during his lifetime: service station attendant, copper mine employee, elementary school teacher, social worker, Pinkerton security guard, postal worker, pilot car driver and antique dealer. He most enjoyed his time in the Army and the years he spent exploring the Midwest on trips to locate antique cars for the museum. John married Betty (Fortier) Queen November 9, 1965, and gained a daughter, Cathie. Their daughter, Johanna, was born in November 1966. After attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota, John, Betty and the two girls moved to Murdo to be near family and the Pioneer Auto Museum. For many years, the family traveled around the United States. John was always on the lookout for antique cars and collectibles to add to the Pioneer Auto collection. In 1985, John and Betty returned to Murdo to live. John loved all sorts of entertainment and public exhibitions, attending canvas tent circuses and state fairs and concerts. He loved a good meal; any road trip would be planned around restaurants that could be visited along the way. John had a companion Beagle by his side for the last 35 years, the most recent being named Martin Luther. In 2002, John and Betty moved to Sioux Falls and later Valley Springs to be near their daughters and grandsons, and to have access to advanced medical care. Both John and Betty faced a number of health issues in the last decade. Starting in 2009, John went through several rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer. After a brief, acute illness in late December 2012, John entered the hospital and then the hospice program at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Sioux Falls. His family is grateful for the excellent care he received there. He passed away the morning of Monday, April 8, 2013. John had a strong, but quiet, lifetime relationship with his Lord and Savior. He was a member of Messiah Lutheran Church in Murdo and attended First Lutheran in Valley Springs. John is preceded in death by his parents, Arthur John Dick Geisler and Vivian Christine (Petersen) Geisler. John is survived by his wife of 47 years, Betty (Fortier) Geisler; daughters, Cathie (Johnnie) Littles of Sioux Falls, Johanna (Mark Dykstra) Geisler; grandsons, Corwin and Rune Dykstra of Valley Springs and Lee Littles of Sioux Falls; a sister, Roma Bunch, of Irvine, Calif.; a brother, David A. (Leila) Geisler of Murdo; nieces, Vivian (Jeff) Sonder, Patty (Donald) Tyus, Jennifer (Bryan) Kaiser, Lisa (Larry) Williams; and nephews, Eric (Janet) Staudenbaur and David M. (Ann) Geisler. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. (CT) on Saturday, April 27, at Messiah Lutheran Church, Murdo followed by interment at the Murdo Cemetery and lunch at Messiah Lutheran.

After he left agriculture, he drove truck in Wyoming and on the Bakken oil fields, settling in Williston, N.D. Glen met Teresa Raney in North Dakota and they were married March 28, 2012. In January 2013, they moved to Sioux Falls, S.D. He and Teresa loved to travel and their three years time together was filled with adventures. Following a trip to Ecuador he suddenly fell ill and on February 21, was diagnosed with an astrocytoma, which did not respond to treatment. He passed away peacefully in Sanford Hospice, supported by family, including his niece, Darnell Dixon, and friends, Tim and Marilee Anton. Glen was an organ donor and his remains were cremated and will be privately interred at a later date. Glen is survived by his wife, Teresa; his parents; his children, Sarah Anne and Corbin Brian; and one beloved grandson, Jaxton Bentley Fuoss. He is also survived by his siblings: Kathleen (Jim) Larson of Fort Mohave, Ariz., Paul (Ann) of Oak Park, Ill., Althea Dixon (Jeff Longtin) of Minneapolis, Minn., and Anita L. Fuoss of Murdo, S.D.; and five stepchildren: Jacob and Roxanne Raney, and Ganna, Isatou and Amber Mboob. The family wishes to express appreciation to Pastor Obed Nelson of Peace Lutheran and the physicians and staff of Sanford Health Care for their skillful and compassionate care.

John Nels Geisler, age 83, Valley Springs, S.D., formerly of Murdo, passed away Monday, April 8, 2013 at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Sioux Falls. He was born in Pasadena, Calif., November 25, 1929, to Arthur John Dick Geisler and Vivian Christine (Petersen) Geisler. He lived with his parents and younger siblings, Roma and David, in Bell, Calif., where A.J. ran a feed store. During his childhood in Bell, John began a lifelong love of movies at the three local theaters where admission cost a dime. In February 1942, the metal rationing of World War II led to the closing of the store in Bell which had transitioned into selling the latest modern appliances. Leaving the land of sun and palm trees, the family moved to a farm in Blunt during a blizzard. In 1945, the Geisler family moved to Murdo to operate the John Deere and Chevrolet dealerships, the first of many businesses. For his high school education, John boarded at Northwestern Lutheran Academy in Mobridge. His college education was interrupted when he served his country as a cryptographer in Korea in the

Seizing the Hope Set Before Us ... Heb 6:18

by Pastor Rick Hazen, United Methodist Church, Murdo and Draper
O worship the King, all glorious above,O gratefully sing Gods power and Gods love; our Shield and Defender the Ancient of Days,pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. (words by Robert Grant) Having a deep, committed and lasting faith in God, and in the one God sent to save us from our sins, the Lord Jesus Christ, is becoming rare in these modern times. We have become spoiled and selfish, letting the world dictate who we worship. Some of us just cannot find the time to worship the King. You and I have time for everything else in todays world school, work, sports, bars, casinos, family and friends, TV, internet, iPods, iPads, Nooks, Kindles, cell-phones, smart phones, texting, etc. We listen to the world, why dont we listen to God? Jesus says that we are choosing the broad road that leads to destruction [and not] the narrow road that leads to life. It all comes down to having a vibrant and active faith. Thatll happen when we redirect our priorities, placing God in first place instead of last place (or no place). We cannot be whole and complete people until we are healthy in body, mind, and spirit. Know that when we pray, God still accepts our knee-mail. To have an active and vibrant faith means work. Along with work comes growth. Pentecost will soon be here. Pentecost begins May 19 and goes through Sunday, November 24. Perhaps growth in our faith journeys during Pentecost will cause us to make spiritual growth a daily habit all year. Why do we adults encourage youth to attend secular camps in the summer but dont encourage youth to attend church camps, or a mission trip? In our communities, why do we encourage our youth and one another to get involved with everything else over the summer except church activities? Instead of asking ourselves how we are going to occupy our time with more stuff, lets step back for a moment and ask ourselves, How are we going to occupy our time with what God wants us to do, and still have time for the other stuff? Our churches have many resources which you can tap into so that you will not only experience spiritual growth as you work on your faith journey, but you will also find ways in which you can have a committed life of faith. The church can also help you to redirect your priorities so you will still be able to work or go to school and still do some of those things you love as well. Just remember to place God first. Hear these words from Jesus Christ: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:30-31). And, the apostle Paul, who loved the sports of running and boxing, wrote these words to a young Timothy about getting priorities straight and always placing God first: For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come (1Timothy 4:8). Worshiping God is your number one appointment every Sunday and nothing else worldly is more important to take Gods place. Gods blessings to you all during this Easter season.

Glen Fuoss, 57, of Sioux Falls (formerly of Draper, S.D., and Williston, N.D.) died in Sioux Falls on April 6.

The Teaching Of Self-esteem by Pastor Paul M. Sadler
Scripture Reading: Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince [refute] the gainsayers. Titus 1:9 Satan never rests in his insatiable desire to corrupt the Word of God. A case in point is the present-day teaching of self-love, self-esteem and self-worth. The influence of this unsound doctrine has nearly permeated every strata of Christendom, including the Grace Movement. Like the beat of a drum, this theme is heard almost constantly from the pulpits of America and frequently appears on the pages of Christian literature. Beware when you hear or read: It is important to feel good about yourself, Learn to love yourself, Probe your innermost self to understand why you think and feel as you do, God sent His son to die for you because you are of great value. On the surface these phrases may seem commendable, but in reality they are diametrically opposed to the Scriptures. The above has been weighed in the balance and found to be wanting. For example: The heart [innermost self]is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jer. 17:9). Paul concurred when he said, For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh, [old nature or self]) dwelleth no good thing (Rom. 7:18). The old man (self) is at enmity against God. He hates God and the things of God and left to himself he will not seek God. The Scriptures, from beginning to end, speak with a unified voice that the old nature is rotten to the core (See Rom. 3:9-18). Consequently, our old man (self) has been crucified with Christ. Paul made reference to this when he wrote to the Galatians, I am crucified with Christ [i.e. his old man]: nevertheless I live [Paul's new nature]; yet NOT I [self], but Christ liveth in me. We are to put off the old nature and put on the new, which is created in holiness and righteousness (Eph. 4:22-24). It is futile to improve ones self- image, especially since God abhors any attempt to do so. Rather, we are to conform ourselves to the image of His dear Son. Thus, those of the household of faith are to live accordingly: Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let us esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus (Phil. 2:3-5). Self takes great pleasure in acclaim, indulgence, approval and praise. It glories in all these things. But are we not robbing God when self is esteemed more highly than His glory? What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are Gods (I Cor. 6:19,20). Shall we permit the love of ones self doctrine to overshadow the love of God in Christ Jesus? God forbid! May God help us to stand against this insidious teaching that essentially robs God of the glory that is rightfully due Him.

Math and science interests lead Montoya to choose School of Mines for future schooling
By Paige Venard Sleeping, fishing, shopping, hanging out with friends and working out top Melissas favorites list. Melissa Montoya Mairena is the daughter of Kerry Melissa Mairena Roghair and Curtis Roghair; she has one older sister Maria Fernanda Montoya. Throughout her high school career she was involved in choir, basketball, track, National Honor Society and the Academic Olympics. Her favorite sport is soccer but since she moved to Murdo she has been unable to play it. She doesnt have a favorite food, but she will eat anything that looks delicious. Her favorite song life, and I am who I am today because of her. Choosing among being popular, accomplishing something, or being organized, she responded with Accomplishing something. Being popular is not important to me at all. If I have to do something, I do it myself; no one else is going to do my work for me. I know that being organized is important to accomplishing something. Montoya gets angry when people lie and are disrespectful; she is also angered by people who start rumors. She is afraid of failing and not being able to finish college for some unexpected reason. She has no major regrets, What is done, is done, the best thing to do is forget and move on. The biggest lesson she has learned thus far is from her mom: be persistent and not give up with your first mistake. She values her family and friends the most because nobody can get very far in life without a strong support system consisting of their loved ones. If Montoya were granted three wishes, she would ask for food and shelter for the poor, being healthy for the rest of her life and living successfully. If she could be whatever she wanted she would be a dog for one day, because she has always wondered what goes on in their minds and thinks it would help her to understand animals better. Among fame, money and power, fame is the least important to her because she doesnt need to be famous to be able to make money or have the power to control something. I dont need fame at all, I need money to live, and if I have money, I have some power. Montoya would advise younger classmen to live in the present and always give your best effort. Dont waste your time; it goes by way too fast. She considers her biggest achievement this far in her high school career as not failing any classes. Its nice to know that one more chapter of my life is done, and that I will be on my own now. After graduation she is going to miss the people she went to school with because she is going to a college that nobody else in her class will be attending. She wont be able to see them as much as she wants to. Her favorite memories of high school include meeting new people and becoming friends with them. The best part about being a senior is knowing that I will be moving out soon and will be able to explore the world on my own and make my own decisions. I think I am ready to face the world. After high school Montoya will attend South Dakota School of Mines and Technology to major in Chemical Engineering. In ten years she finds herself living in Rapid City or Sioux Falls using her major and living in a nice modern home and adopting some kids. She wants to be able to start her own business someday.

Book & Thimble Club hosts Senior Girls Mother and Daughter Tea on stormy night
By Nicki Kell The Murdo Book & Thimble Club hosted the Senior Girls Mother/Daughter Tea on Monday, April 8 and what an exciting time it was. The expected snow storm worried some of the mothers from out of town, but everyone made it there safely. The first game the group played was the name game, where each person was given a name tag and a bag of pennies. The rules of the game were that you had to call each other by the name given on your name tag or you owed that person a penny, but if a person called you by your real name, then they owed you a penny. The person with the most pennies won. The names were very interesting: Janna Glaze was Honey Buns, Melissa Montoya was Angel Cake, Paige Venard was Silly Goose, Becky Bryan was Hot Lips, Emiley Nies was Honey Bee and I was Angel Face. Mom! was commonly heard, followed by an Oops! as one of the girls would have to give up a penny. Paige Venard said, The name game was fun and I enjoyed playing the games and activities. The next challenge involved hulahooping, where the mothers and their daughters competed to see who could hula-hoop the longest. The daughters won, of course. One of the hula-hoops was smaller and contained water and the larger had a tendency to pop apart on occasion. The next challenge pitted the girls against their mothers as they each blew up a long balloon and then let it go, hoping that it would land in the hula-hoop lying on the floor between the two. Finally, the judges decided that if the balloon would even touch the hula-hoop that it would count. Thats an indication of how difficult a challenge the balloon contest became. Even getting the balloons blown up was tough for the contestants. Becky Bryan said that her favorite part was Balloon fighting and the hula-hoop contest, along with all six of us girls fitting into the tiny hula-hoop. It took some strange gyrations to accomplish the feat. The Book & Thimble ladies also provided finger foods and desserts about which Emiley Nies said, The desserts were really good. As mementos of the evening, the girls received scented scrubbies in their class color of lime green and a blue and lime green jewelry bag sewn and decorated with little jewels by Bessie Roghair, Melissas grandmother. The night was very eventful and everyone overall enjoyed themselves. Janna Glaze said, It was fun bonding and made me realize how much Ill miss the girls next year.

NHS inducts seven new members at annual induction ceremony

NHS Back: Wyatt Walker, Philip Mathews, Becky Bryan, Melissa Montoya, Josh Daum, Greydon Shangreaux, Clayton Evans, Travis Grablander. Front: Jackson Volmer, Cody Hight, Kalli Hespe, Madison Mathews, Shelby Bork, Kaylen Larsen, Advisor Katie Venard. By Becky Bryan The National Honor Society Tea on April 2, led by new mentor Katie Venard, welcomed seven new members: juniors Jackson Volmer and Kaylen Larsen, and sophomores Shelby Bork, Kalli Hespe, Cody Hight, Madison Mathews and Dylan Kinsley (who was gone because of a family vacation in Hawaii). Travis Grablander, Clayton Evans and Greydon Shangreaux introduced the senior speakers for the candle lighting ceremony. Philip Mathews spoke about Scholarship and said, A healthy mind is a happy mind. He encouraged making scholarship manifest the quality of work as well as the learning involved. Senior Melissa Montoyas speech on Leadership told the group to Go the extra mile and help others. She indicated that leadership includes expressing ideas and putting in time and energy to help both improve the group and oneself. Senior Wyatt Walker addressed the concept of Service and said, Volunteer time and energy to help your community. He also made reference to Ghandis quote, To find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. Senior Becky Bryan ended the speeches with Character. Integrity means step up and help others. She also emphasized the question we all ask, Who are you? She stressed moral and ethical qualities along with personality, individuality and respect. For entertainment, the jazz choir sang Jazz Talkin and No One Knows Who I Am; soloists were junior Carole Benda, junior Travis Grablander and senior Becky Bryan. Senior Josh Daum ended the induction with a farewell and thanked the audience for coming after which the group enjoyed cake, punch, tea and nuts.

Tracksters face interesting start to year; battle weather to get in meets

the convention and the students put together tie blankets for local women and childrens shelters. After the project was finished, 86 blankets had been made. Campaigning for state offices began as a wrap up for the first night. DJ Your Destiny was the theme for Monday, where Kyle Scheele from Springfield, Missouri, talked about finding who you are and what story you want to live. Finding out what you love to do and what you are good at doing maybe difficult, but he encouraged everyone to try new things and find your story. If you can dream it doesnt mean you can do it. He stressed that some dreams are not realistic and that you may have to give up on them. He used being able to deflect a bullet with his hand as his dream from his childhood, but those dreams are not realistic. He thought the saying if you can dream it you can achieve it was just a lie. He didnt try to discourage people from chasing their dreams, but they should keep them realistic. During Monday afternoon students attended Showcase workshops: Passion, Just Dance, Dress for Success, Communication, Communication and Candy and Peer Pressure. Many new ideas from the workshops could be used to benefit schools and the students needs. After the workshops it was the banquet where students dressed up in sports coats, ties and dresses and where they announced the 2014 State Board and awards. After the banquet students could go to the dance, do homework, play games, or be in the baggo tournament. Raise your Voice brought Tuesday the final day when regions split up to do elections for next years board. Madison Mathews was elected region treasurer, and Jackson Volmer became vice president. Schools presented a check to the Childrens Miracle Network representative. The money, over $21,000, came from fundraisers in various schools. Everyone departed for home but a flat tire didnt stop Jones County, because the boys and Trudy Hurst fixed the tire and students returned to school. By Paige Venard With and early start to the year, the track team started practicing on Monday, March 11. Junior high runners went to Kadoka on Tuesday, April 2. The first two scheduled meets were canceled due to uncooperative weather, so Todd County Invitational was a pickup meet to get in some track time. Many hard practices and new techniques made the first track meet in Todd County on Thursday, April 4, a very successful day. Sixteen schools attended the meet and Jones County brought home multiple medals.

First of its kind, prom features neon colors, balloons and loud music for night of fun
By Paige Venard Think orange, green, yellow, pink and purple, then add the element of glowing neon and you begin to get the essence of the Junior/Senior Prom and Banquet hosted at 6 p.m. by the juniors on Friday, April 12 in the transformed Murdo Auditorium. To achieve the effect, the juniors strung black, silver and purple gossamer along the north wall and used it to highlight the neon painted NEON NIGHTS on a dark blue background paper. Students used neon paints splashed against the paper along with a few handprints to create the glowing sign once the black lights began to burn. Guests sat on the south side bleachers for a change of view during the Grand March. Freshman Garline Boni said I thought the decorations turned out awesome and everything fit together well. Along with the gossamer and glowing paints, the juniors, with some additional help in the form of parents and friends, blew up hundreds of balloons in the matching neon colors which were then used at the top of columns and to create the ceiling. Sloping wires created a circus-like ceiling when the balloons were attached to the wires. In order to create a smashing entrance for the Grand March, the class built an arch in white which was also splashed with the neon paints as were the columns. Several neon paper wrapped milk crates created a spot to display jars of colored water with glow sticks adding an eerie light to the evening. For the banquet the class covered both round and long tables with neon colored table cloths and used the colored jars of light as center pieces. Junior mothers prepared the meal of ham and turkey sandwiches along with a choice of either taco or potato soup and ice cream with strawberry or chocolate topping to round out the meal. Dressed in neon shirts with glow sticks as necklaces, prom servers Rachel Buxcel, Carol Drayer, Allison Green, Connor Venard, Dylan Kinsley and Wyatt Weber delivered the food and drinks to the guests. Cody Hullinger entertained the guests with three numbers as he accompanied himself on guitar. Pastor Rick Hazen gave the invocation after class presidents Greydon Shangreaux and Wyatt Hespe gave the welcome and response. Guest speaker Gary Knispel shared 10 main points to a successful life, one of which included taking time to smell the roses. He even brought a beautiful rose to make his point. He also encouraged students to stop using so much technology and actually go and do different things. Greydon Shangreaux read the senior prophecies only to find out that most of the class will have a successful life and most of the girls will be marrying cowboys. Wyatt Hespe gave thank-yous and concluded the banquet. After the banquet, students and dates got changed for the Grand March at 9 p.m., 35 couples walked out in formal outfits. After the DJ kicked out the parents and spectators, the dance began with the dancers doing some choreographed dances that the kids knew and the Harlem shake. Connor Venard and Carol Drayer had a dance off, and Drayer won by doing a move and then dropping into the splits. The dance ended at 12:30 a.m. and post-prom began at the mini gym. The PTO rented a huge obstacle course that many kids enjoyed. You could tell because kids had marks and burns on their skin from going down the slide. The usual games were also played like plinko, darts, black jack and Wheel of Fortune. Kids earned money throughout the night/morning to buy prizes donated by the community. Dana Trethaway won a futon from the freshman class; Kalli Hespe won a mini fridge along with Travis Grablander for the sophomore and junior class prizes. The seniors had two prizes, a microwave won by Becky Bryan and a George Forman grill won by Paige Venard. The fun ended at 5 a.m. when students traveled home to sleep for the rest of the morning and day. Senior Wyatt Walker said, The best memories from my proms would be freshman and senior proms. I enjoyed taking pictures before banquet, the banquet and post prom was lots of fun.

Murdo Coyote The Clinical View

Dr. P.E. Hoffsten
WHAT IS USPSTF? In 1984, the Department of Health of the United States Government elected to organize and support an agency to advise us on preventive medicine. Until that time, the United States Healthcare system had devoted itself to the detection and care of disease. Note this is different from disease prevention. The classical American (and South Dakotan) example was the 55-year-old man who had absolutely nothing wrong with him. But some of these men (and women) had a sudden unexpected heart attack. Forty percent of these people died immediately never making it to the hospital. Sixty percent survived but ended up with a huge medical bill. With the delusion of invincibility, most South Dakotans dont know what their blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar or cigarettes are doing to them. If the person survived their heart attack, they spent the rest of their life with less heart muscle, decreased stamina, and eventual heart failure. Conservative estimates indicate that 80 percent of the two trillion dollars we spend on healthcare is spent for neglect of preventable conditions or self-inflicted disease such as cigarette, alcohol and drug abuse problems. By the 1980s, concepts of prevention of disease as opposed to early detection were to be the consideration of a new group called the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF). This was a group of 16 healthcare providers who were felt to be experts in the field of medicine. It was their job to evaluate information available and make suggestions on which practices were valuable and which ones were not in regard to prevention of disease. Now, nearly 30 years later, when our healthcare system consumes 16 percent of our gross domestic product, their role is even more important than in the past. There are many things in our society that are just obviously true but the USPSTF has the job analyzing these obvious truths and deciding are they really true and is there evidence to support them. When they make suggestions to the contrary of current practice, the TV and news media give them unmerciful grief, and often ridicule the decisions made. But this task force is merely analyzing the information available to decide if these supposed truths are supported by evidence. The most controversial decision they made recently was a suggestion that women age 50-70 have screening mammography done every two years instead of every year. Obviously, this would cut the cost of the screening procedure in half. The USPSTF Committee did not find any evidence that this would increase morbidity or mortality from breast cancer. They, in addition, suggested that beginning mammography before age 50 was an individual consideration but not recommended except in special situations where there is a high incidence of breast cancer in a family. Those of you who follow the media and television news service may remember the storm that came with these suggestions. For those who are interested, the USPSTF recommendations for more than a hundred conditions are contained on the internet. Many of these are very controversial and some make perfect sense. A recent publication in the Archives of Internal Medicine studied the effect of an individual having an annual health exam. It is just logical to believe, that those individuals who see a healthcare provider once a year to review medications, health status, and suggestions for avoidance of problems do better than those individuals who do not see a healthcare provider once a year. And yet an evaluation of over 200 thousand people, some of whom had had an exam done annually and some who had not showed no difference in the mortality or morbidity in the two groups. The conclusion was that opened ended annual health exams really do not save lives. Whether you agree with the US Preventative Services Task Force recommendations or not, their recommendations are going to increasingly become the basis upon which insurance and Medicare expenses will be paid. It has not happened much yet but quietly, slowly services that are that USPSTF finds not to be beneficial to the general public will ceased to be paid for by insurance claims. 2012 NAP & ACRE PRODUCTION DUE JULY 15 Producers must annually provide (if not appraised by a NAP appraiser) the quantity of all harvested production of the crop in which the producer held an interest during the crop year. We have sent out the NAP Yields form and CCC-658 form which lists your acres and a spot for you to record your production. The deadline for reporting this production is July 15, 2013.

Recent storms amount to 2 to 3 inches in moisture

This weeks spring storm brought welcome moisture to the entire state, which certainly will be a positive step toward drought relief. SDSU Extension Climate Field Specialist, Laura Edwards reports snow totals of 20 to 25 inches or more from Rapid City towards Pine Ridge. Snowfall totals are in the teens around Pierre to Winner and over to about Miller, that central part of the state. Up in Aberdeen theres about 6-inches of snow which fell primarily Wednesday night and Thursday, Edwards said. The Sioux Falls area received about 8-inches of snow. Edwards says the moisture equivalent of this storm is projected at approximately 3-inches in the southeast corner of the state. The 20-to 25-inch snows in the southwest should amount to2inches or more of moisture. Lesser amounts of moisture fell to the north. Edwards says this fantastic moisture will be reflected to some degree in next weeks U.S. Drought Monitor map, which will be released Thursday, April 18. Soil temperatures were mostly above freezing except for northeastern parts of the state, which will allow for moisture to enter the soil profile. While the moisture has been helpful, Edwards reports the storm has been challenging for livestock producers in the midst of calving and lambing. The Aberdeen national weather service offers a resource on its website called the cold advisory for newborn livestock, view at http://www. crh.noaa.gov/abr/canl/forecasts.ph p. They have an indicator there that combines wind chill, temperature and moisture. They put that all together as a watch or warning alert system for newborn livestock, she said. Edwards notes the weather is expected to remain unsettled across the state for the coming week with another moisture system moving in for the weekend through next Wednesday.

Not all oranges are created equal. I learned this early in life since my mother thought I should start each day with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. She figured it would be helpful in promoting my health and well-being or some such thing. Most days this was fine. Other days, not so much. For one thing, not all oranges are naturally sweet and tasty. Some are a bit sour or dull. Then there are those that have so much pulp you almost need to eat the juice with a spoon instead of drinking it. Others have so many of those tiny little seeds that you are unlikely to get them all out short of using a strainer. This hasnt changed much over the years, and buying oranges is still a tricky business. Youre never quite sure what youre getting. That situation is similar in buying lots of other things. Apples are easier than oranges, but you still occasionally get lemons. Bananas, though, seem to all be fairly much the same. One is pretty much like another although eating them at just the right degree of ripeness can be hard to schedule. Meat, though, is often tough, literally, and hard to figure out. One knows that round steak is always going to need good strong teeth if you dont cook it a long time, but other steaks vary a lot concerning tenderness and flavor. Thats one of the difficult things about lifetrying to make wise decisions. This not only applies to things you buy, but to what you do to support yourself, what friends to have, and lots of other things. I didnt have much trouble choosing an occupation since I was raised on a ranch and was the only son. My dad basically wanted me to take over when I grew up, and that was fine with me. I did have a chance to go on and make a career as an officer in the Navy since, to keep me from leaving when my time was up, they dangled a tasty carrot in front of me. This had to do with the promise of being assigned to the staff of a really weird admiral who was considered the father of the modern nuclear navy. It would probably have been a real plus in my record and a stepping stone to higher rank. Weighing that against ranching wasnt much of a contest though. The rural life was what I wanted and what I chose. I have no regrets about that. I guess I never really set out to choose good friends. I was just naturally drawn to those who had interests similar to mine. Since I wasnt exactly a party animal, neither were my friends. They just were those I somehow came to know and like. Relatives, of course, you cant choose randomly. Youre just born with them. In some cases, that is just fine. Take my Aunt Bessie, for example. She was my moms sister from California and a real sweetheart. We got on extremely well together, and I even stayed with her for several months when I was stationed in California during my time in the Navy. Other relatives were mostly okay although a few were marginal. You couldnt disown them, exactly, but you could choose how much to associate with them. Choosing business associates is also tricky. I have taken in cattle for people who just plain drove me nuts. They were never quite satisfied with your care of their livestock. If there wasnt anything really wrong, theyd complain that the salt licks were getting low although they hadnt really run out yet. Other guys would never quite live up to their part of the deal concerning payment for services rendered etc. Then there are those who just never give you any trouble and work out great. The latter is what we currently have, thank goodness. But, you know, we can only do our best. If we do that, we are apt to have few regrets. We can look at products or situations, think about them, maybe do a bit of research, give ourselves some time and not rush, pray a little, and hope for the best. I recently did some of that concerning the purchase of a bag of oranges. They looked and felt okay, were moderately priced, and subsequently came home with me. Now is crunch time. Guess Ill go squeeze one or two and have some orange juice. It may be great or less so, but at least it will remind me of my dear old mama who squeezed a lot of oranges in her life for love of little old me. Thats worth quite a lot.

Notice to grain sellers and grain buyers

On April 4, 2013, Circuit Judge Tony L. Portra issued a ruling overturning one of the South Dakota Public Utilities Commissions findings in the matter of the Anderson Seed Co., Inc. grain buyer bond. The commission ruled in support of staffs findings that pursuant to SDCL 49-45-9 Martinmaas Dairy should not be eligible to participate in the bond proceeds because its entire claim amount was subject to the terms of a voluntary credit sale (VCS) contract. Martinmaas Dairy challenged the PUC ruling based on the fact that it had not signed the VCS contract that was prepared to memorialize the agreement to defer payment. In finding Martinmaas Dairy had entered into a VSC contract, the Commission relied on SDCL 57A2-201, which provides exceptions to the signature requirement for contracts for the sale of grain, as well as the sworn testimony of Raymond Martinmaas that he did intend to defer payment. When the PUC presented recommendations for the disbursement of the bond to the 5th Judicial Circuit Court on March 19, 2013, Raymond Martinmaas appeared on behalf of Martinmaas Dairy and asked the court to overturn the PUCs findings with respect to the Martinmaas Dairy claim. The court found, pursuant to SDCL 49-45-11 and ARSD 20:10:12:13, that a VCS contract is not enforceable unless signed by both parties. Therefore, going forward all grain purchases more than 30 days old will be considered cash sales that must be paid pursuant to SDCL 49-45-10 unless the grain buyer has in its possession a VCS contract signed by both parties.

Black Hills Tourism sends soap to Global Soap Project

On Wednesday, April 17, Black Hills & Badlands Tourism Association will ship three pallets of used soap to the Atlanta facilities of The Global Soap Project. Last May, Association President Nort Johnson introduced Black Hills Bubbles for Humanity, a public service program that collects used soap from area accommodations for recycling into new bars for distribution to impoverished communities around the world. T h e Global Soap Project was founded in 2009 by Derreck Kayongo. Kayongos simple idea was to take some of the 3 million bars of soap thrown away each day by hotels, make new soap and distribute it to impoverished communities around the world. The Hills-wide Bubbles program helps save thousands of lives by providing soap to impoverished communities around the world. The Associations member hotels, motels, B&Bs, campgrounds and other accommodation providers gather used soap from guest rooms. The soap is processed and delivered to places where a lack of basic sanitation can cause unnecessary outbreaks of disease and even death. Providing soap is a simple, effective way to protect families and save lives. In fact, Kayongos Global Soap Project fulfills two worthy goals: diverting waste from landfills and providing soap to fight disease. More information is at www.glob-

Cropping Choices and Water Use Relationships The precipitation from the recent snow storm provided welcome relief in terms of soil moisture. Standing stubble certainly showed its value as fields with stubble caught a uniform layer of snow that will help replenish dry soils with an inch or more of valuable moisture. Depending on what moisture is received over the next month or so, farmers may be wise to consider the water/yield relationship for various crops as they are making planting decisions this spring. The USDA-Agricultural Research Service has conducted research exploring the moisture needed to produce the first bushel of grain and the bushels per inch of moisture for various crops. This information can be highly valuable when making cropping decisions when moisture is limited. Corn is very efficient in using water as it can produce just over 10 bushels per additional acre inch, but also requires just over 9 inches of water to produce the first bushel. Grain sorghum, or milo, is also relatively efficient in producing bushels once the initial requirement is met, at 9 bushels per additional acre inch, but takes only 6.5 inches to produce the first bushel. That is why grain sorghum has historically been a popular crop in marginal rainfall areas. Grain sorghum lost some popularity in the 1990s, partially due to a volcano eruption that resulted in cool summers for several years, above average rainfall during the same period of time (which favored corn production), and improved drought tolerance in corn hybrids. Summer temperatures have returned to higher levels in more recent years, and the uncertainty of rainfall may bring resurgence in the interest in sorghum. Sunflower requires slightly more water to produce the first bushel/pound of grain than sorghum at 6.9 inches, and fewer equivalent bushels (6.3) per inch of additional water. Sunflower is marketed on a different price per unit structure than corn and sorghum, so its not directly comparable on a bushel/pound basis regarding yield. Wheat, millet and soybean are fairly similar in both their water requirement to produce initial grain yield and efficiency in bushels per additional acre inch of water. To produce the first unit of grain, wheat requires 5.2 inches, millet 3.5 inches, and soybean 3.7 inches. With each additional inch of moisture, wheat will produce about 4.7 bushels, millet 4.2 bushels, and soybean 3 bushels. Again, the price per bushel of each crop varies, and if one were to evaluate each crop fairly regarding water use efficiency, this would need to be taken into account. According to this research, field peas are a remarkable crop in that they require less than 1 inch of water to produce grain. They can produce 3 bushels of grain for each additional inch of moisture. These numbers are not exact and each crop will perform best if moisture is available at the right time and suffer if it is short at a critical time, like corn at pollination and soybeans at flowering. This information could prove valuable as producers are making cropping plans while they watch the skies and weather reports for more precipitation, which will be necessary for a successful growing season.

Governor seeking interns for this fall
Gov. Dennis Daugaard is currently seeking applications for fall 2013 Governors Office Internships in Pierre. The positions are paid and run from early September through December 2013. Governors Office interns have the opportunity to work at the highest level of state government, learning about and preparing legislation to be introduced in the next legislative session. Interns duties depend on interests and strengths. Typical duties will include aiding the Governors general counsel, conducting policy research, preparing policy briefings, and staffing the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and First Lady. The internships are open to all undergraduate or graduate-level students. Preference will be given to South Dakota residents attending South Dakota colleges or universities. Interested students should submit a resume, cover letter and 2 Letters of Recommendation by June 1, via email, to Will.Mortenson@state.sd.us For more information on duties or logistics, please visit http://sd.gov/governor/internship.a spx or contact Will Mortenson at Will.Mortenson@state.sd.us In 2012, drought conditions impacted a majority of South Dakota (SD) grasslands. Many people felt the effects in the condition of grassland, livestock conditions, and in their agricultural operations. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in South Dakota (SD) developed and utilizes a tool to assess drought conditions using local precipitation data to model impacts to grazing lands production. The SD NRCS Drought Tool uses long-term (3050 year) and short-term precipitation including data from High Plains Regional Climate Center and the SD State University (SDSU) state climatologist. With our understanding of historic impacts to grassland condition and production, we get a clearer understanding of 2012 drought impacts on grassland. Understanding current drought conditions stirs difficult questions: How will the 2012 drought impact the upcoming 2013 growing season? What will it take for grasslands to recover from drought? Our current grassland drought conditions reflect the effects of both precipitation and soil moisture deficits originating in 2012. Using current drought conditions in conjunction with historic average long-term data, we can project future grazing land production across SD. South Dakota grasslands typically reach peak production by early July. This data is used to predict the potential peak forage production. Will we experience grassland drought in 2013? Even with aver-

age normal precipitation amounts and the right timing, the answer for most of S.D. is yes. Recovery from current drought conditions depends on soil moisture recharge, precipitation timing, and precipitation amounts. Moisture infiltration to the soil profile is needed to get out of the drought status. Unfortunately, high intensity, short lived precipitation (intense spring thunderstorms) typically results in more runoff than infiltration. Having a healthy reserve and diversity of forage will enable optimal grassland infiltration by slowing runoff and maintaining a soil structure that maximizes precipitation availability. The SD Drought Tool can calculate the monthly precipitation needed to recover from drought impacts using the critical precipitation months of April, May, and June. If you have your own precipitation records, they should be the best data source when using the SD Drought Tool. The table below includes examples of minimum precipitation amounts in a sampling of counties to return to normal forage production conditions. With new understandings of climate and soil-water-plant relationships, we are finding new abilities to assess and plan for grassland drought. Now is the time to have plans in place for 2013 drought conditions. Your local NRCS staff can help with drought planning for grassland and cropland resources.
