WASHINGTON, D.C.Sena-
tors John Thune (R-S.D.) and
Tom Udall (D-N.M.) today intro-
duced legislation to improve ac-
cess to emergency services in
rural and medically underserved
areas. The Strengthening Rural
Access to Emergency Services Act
(S. 328) would amend the Emer-
gency Medical Treatment and
Labor Act (EMTALA) to allow el-
igible hospitals in rural and med-
ically underserved areas to use
interactive telehealth programs
to satisfy the federal emergency
room staffing requirement for an
on call physician when an asso-
ciate provider, such as a physi-
cian assistant or nurse
practitioner, is already on site at
the rural emergency room. This
bill is cosponsored by Senator
Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and is
supported by the National Rural
Health Association, the American
Telemedicine Association, the
American College of Emergency
Physicians, and the American
Academy of Physician Assistants.
Access to fast, reliable emer-
gency medicine in rural hospitals
is critically important, said
Thune. My legislation updates
federal law to reflect advance-
ments in telehealth technology
that are already in use across the
country. Emergency telehealth
technology improves the quality
of care provided in rural emer-
gency rooms while also leveraging
the technology to address prob-
lems in recruiting physicians to
rural areas. I look forward to
working with my colleagues on
both sides of the aisle to move this
legislation through Congress.
Small rural hospitals are life-
lines for local communities, and
telehealth technologies can en-
hance the emergency room serv-
ices they provide," said Udall.
"New Mexico is a large state and
many residents live far from
urban areas, so telehealth offers
us the best avenue to meet their
healthcare needs. I am very
pleasedto join Senator Thune to
introduce this bipartisan legisla-
tion that will help save time and
save lives."
Currently, small rural hospi-
tals across the country are facing
physician recruiting challenges,
partly due to federal require-
Are you living on a fixed
income and having trouble mak-
ing ends met?
Do you have large medical ex-
penses?
Do you need help taking care of
your spouse?
Do you want a milder climate?
Have to drive long distances for
dialysis or other medical care?
Need help daily to bath or
change bandages?
Here at the State Veterans
Home you can bring your own car,
come and go as you please, or
take a 60-day furlough rent free.
Individual residents pay a main-
tenance fee based on 50 percent of
their income and assets; couples
pay 55%. This entitles the resi-
dent to receive a room, utilities
(except telephone), bedding, laun-
dry services, meals, medical serv-
ices, pharmaceutical services,
physical therapy, activities, and
social services. We have a bus
with a wheelchair lift available
for our many planned activities.
The dining room serves three
meals every day, supplies snacks
for activities, and provides for
special diets. Included in the
maintenance fee, a local physi-
cian comes to the Veterans Home
regularly and is on call for med-
ical services. Clinics are held for
special needs. The nurses aides of
the home are all certified and al-
ways supervised by a registered
nurse. Our nursing department
provides supervised medications,
whirlpool baths and a physical
therapist provides restorative
therapy on an individual basis.
We also have exercise equipment
available for any residents use. A
licensed dietitian helps residents
with their special diets. We also
have a licensed Pharmacist on
staff to assist you with your med-
ications.

ments that do not reflect advance-
ments in emergency telehealth
technology that can be employed
to create a practice environment
that is more attractive to young
physicians. EMTALA requires a
physician to be on call and able to
arrive to the emergency depart-
ment within 30 minutes, even if
an associate provider, such as a
nurse practitioner or physician
assistant,is already covering the
emergency department. For
physicians in small hospitals who
see patients all day and then
must be on call at night, this cre-
ates a 24/7 work environment
that can be unattractive to many
young physicians and unneces-
sarily drives up the costs of
health care.
Thune and Udalls bill would
allow for a physician available by
an interactive emergency tele-
health system to satisfy EMTALA
requirements at eligible rural
hospitals when an associate
provider is on site, and would
keep patients at their local hospi-
tal and avoid unnecessary, expen-
sive transfers to larger hospitals.
Thune, Udall introduce bill to improve access
to emergency services in rural areas

After receiving unanimous ap-
proval from the House Health
and Human Services Committee,
Senate Bill 72 was on the sched-
ule for consideration by the full
House on Wednesday, February
13. The measure earlier passed
the Senate by a vote of 33 to 0.
This legislation requires the
Department of Health to set up
an expedited inspection process
which allows follow-up inspec-
tions for food service, lodging or
campground licensees.
The prime sponsor, Sen. Ryan
Maher (R-Isabel), explained to
the committee that foodservice es-
tablishments are supposed to re-
ceive two inspections a year by
the Department of Public Safety.
The inspection scores are then
posted online by the Department
of Health, where they may be
viewed by the public.
(Under SB 72) If a business
receives a score between 90 and
99, there is no trigger mechanism
for an inspection, he told the
committee. We figured thats a
fairly decent score, so there is no
need for reinspection. If they
should get between an 80 and an
89, that business would have an
option for a reinspection, and they
would have to pay a fee of $100 to
cover that additional cost.
The follow-up inspection would
take place within sixty days, and
the new score would be added to
the establishments online score
page.
Tom Martinec, Deputy Secre-
tary of the Department of Health,
said, The concern is that, if Im
an operator of a restaurant, I get
an uncharacteristically low score
and I have to wait 6 months or
more until the next inspection.
And then Im kind of stuck with
that low score, and the general
public might be making a decision
whether to frequent my business
or not based on that uncharacter-
istically low score. He went on to
say that, This gives the owner
the ability to request an expe-
dited inspection, have us come
back out, give them another
chance to improve that score be-
fore the next routine inspection
happens. Its a limited option. We
dont think it will necessarily be
widely used, but its an option
available for those business own-
ers to take should they choose to
do so.
SDRA Executive Director
Shawn Lyons testified in support
of the bill, stating, Its an issue
that weve talked about with the
Department of Health over the

Many states tax the sales of
goods. A few also tax services.
South Dakota has a broad-
based, four percent sales tax on
nearly all goods and services.
Because past legislators
and governors have maintained
the broadness of the tax, it is a
steady, reliable source of revenue,
even in times of economic dis-
tress.
Broadening this tax base
helped Gov. Janklow cut property
taxes 30 percent. Taxing the sales
of a broad array of goods and
services also helps our state avoid
an income tax.
However, an ever-present
temptation exists to ask for ex-
ceptions.Interestgroups cometo
Pierre each year to argue for a tax
exemption on their particular
goods or services. They are sup-
ported by their lobbyists and
members.
These exemptions do not
havepolicy goals, other than re-
lieving a particular group from
paying sales tax.They are not de-
signed to attract new economic
activity orhelp create jobs. Some
interest groups have better argu-
ments than others,but one fact is
always true:Each time an exemp-
tion is created, it benefits anar-
row group at the expense of
allother South Dakota taxpayers.
Even if some exemptions are
small, the principle of a broad-
based tax is violated.
Each time an exemption is
carved out, there is
lessrevenuefor priorities like ed-
ucation, healthcare, or economic
development. For each exemp-
tion, we send a message to the
next interest group that
theyalsoshould try to avoid pay-
ing sales tax.
I vetoed legislation last year
that would have exempted the
sales tax on hay forlivestockbed-
ding. Several exemptions have
been proposed this year, includ-
ing certain coaching services,
some rodeo admissions,and sales
of used truck tires. Certainly
theseare very small exemptions,
proposed by groups for whom I
have empathy. Still, I must op-
pose the erosion of our broad sales
tax base through repeated, minor
exemptionsthat ignore ourover-

Longtime Faith area rancher
and beekeeper, Albert Steen Jr.,
88, died peacefully in his sleep in
the early morning hours of Febru-
ary 10, 2013 at the Fort Meade
VA Hospital near Sturgis, SD.
Service of Remembrance was
held Friday, February 15, 2013 at
the Fort Meade Chapel at Fort
Meade, SD. Rev. Harold Del-
bridge officiated and inurnment
of Albert's and his wife Lila's
ashes was held at the Black Hills
National Cemetery south of Stur-
gis, SD.
Albert was born the youngest
of five boys to Albert and Eliza-
beth (Heiner) Steen on January
19, 1925 at the Steen homestead
cabin southeast of Faith, SD. He
attended various country schools
in Ziebach County. Junior was
the only son to graduate with the
class of 1943 from Faith High
School. He helped his family herd
sheep, raise cattle and break
horses.
Junior herded about 1200
sheep with his brothers Charles
and Eugene throughout the win-
ters, springs and falls of 1943,
1944 and 1945 near present day
Takini School. With a remuda of
two horses, several sheepdogs
and a sheep wagon about the size
of a small car, the three brothers
spent their days on the prairies.
It was here that Junior began to
sharpen his culinary skills. He
was often in charge of the chow
line and he developed an appreci-
ation for cooking.
He enlisted in the US Army in
April of 1946 and spent the next
18 months during WWII at bases
in Califonia, Montana and
Arkansas. He did clerical work at
the bases in California often as
paymaster. Junior was honorably
discharged in 1947.
Junior met Lila Knight in 1949
at a dance in Red Scaffold. They
were married on September 13,
1951 before a Justice of the Peace
in Rapid City. Together they
moved next door to his parents on
the homestead and began ranch-
ing.
He worked several years for
Jim and Ethel Keegan's dirt mov-
ing operation as a cat skinner. He
helped his father-in-law Wally
Knight with his dirt moving busi-
ness, as well.
In 1979 he began his beekeep-
ing career with Lawrence Steen
and Alan Fowler. He set up bee
yards within his own cattle range
and over most of western Ziebach
Albert Junior Steen
County. Junior extracted honey
at Alan Fowler's plant in Faith
until he built his own plant in
1983. He sold his honey to Dutch
Gold.
Junior retired from the bee
business in 1989, but extracted
for several more years. In 1994 he
bought a small herd of cows that
he watched over for years as a pet
project. He was a member of the
Red Scaffold Volunteer Fire De-
partment, the American Legion,
Faith Stock Show and Rodeo As-
sociation, Sheep Growers Associ-
ation and was a storm watcher for
the National Weather Service.
He enjoyed fishing, hunting,
gardening, good stories, coffee,
the Faith News, travelling, his
dogs and cats and card playing
with the Chalmers family. His
greatest pleasure was being on
the ranch and cooking supper for
his grandson, Chris, no matter
how late it was.
Junior was preceded in death
by his wife Lila of 57 years, his
parents, Albert Sr. and Elizabeth,
his brothers, Arnold, Charles,
Gene and Lawrence, his sisters-
in-law, Verna and Florence Steen
and Marjory Knight and his
brothers-in-law, Jess Knight and
Luther Knight.
Grateful for having shared in
his life are his daughter, LouAnn
Steen of Faith, SD and Jomay
Steen of McLaughlin, SD; his
grandchildren, Bobbi (Mark)
Misar, Christopher and Eugene
Steen and great grandchildren,
Jase, Lani and Marty Misar; sis-
ters-in-law, Edith Knight of
Cherry Creek, Nadine Cook of
Covelo, CA and Mary Ann Knight
of Eagle Butte, SD and Helene
Steen of Rapid City, SD; brothers-
in-law, Stanley Cook of Covelo,
CA and Doug Knight of Dupree,
SD and numerous nieces and
nephews.

Suicide Prevention Coordinator
arching policy goals.
I truly believe that we should
strive for more TAXPAYERS, not
more TAXES or higher
rates. Spreading the burden
among many makes each one's
burden lighter. We should not
continue to chip away at our
steady, broad tax base. Its easy to
agree with each group and make
an exception "just this once."But
we must be vigilant against it.
Voters, taxpayersandthe pub-
lic in generaldont have an asso-
ciation, interest group, or
lobbyists.As yourGovernor, I be-
lieve its my responsibility to
speakfor the people. Its my job to
workon behalf of the unorganized
many against the interests of the
organized few. Let's keep our tax
rates low by asking everyone to
share in the responsibility to pay.

last year. If youre a foodservice
operator you take those inspec-
tion scores very seriously. And so
if theres an opportunity for you to
improve your score, and if it falls
in that wedge category between
80 and 89, its an opportunity for
the operators to make those im-
provements because its impor-
tant to them, to their customers
that theyre dining at a good es-
tablishment.
Lyons also told the committee
that concern about lack of timely
inspections in some areas of the
state is what originally prompted
Sen. Maher to bring legislation
pertaining to inspections. He said
the Department of Public Safety
is working on addressing those is-
sues.
Rep. Troy Heinert (D-Mission),
a bar and restaurant owner, also
voiced his support of the bill.
I dont know how many estab-
lishment owners think that in-
spections are good, but I do, Rep.
Heinert said. This is going to
work well for establishment own-
ers and the public. The publics
safety is number one.

Senate Bill 72 Continued from Front Page
Week 6 of the 9 week session is
now over, with 24 days down and
14 to go. So, these last 3 weeks of
session is where we start priori-
tizing spending. Education and
healthcare remain top priorities
for the caucus. We find ourselves
balancing these needs against
bolstering reserve funds in antic-
ipation of sequestration cuts and
supporting economic develop-
ment. While it might not seem
important now, the cuts coming
from Washington weigh heavily
on all of us here in Pierre.
As our session comes to a close,
we will hear what cuts will be
coming as Congress continues to
fight over our spending. If we
dont prepare, we could be called
into special session to alter our
budget due to our federal govern-
ment's inability to pass their own
budget.
Good Stewardship of your tax
dollars at the state level require
careful and responsible manage-
ment, including keeping our
budget structurally balanced, and
looking to promote future growth
through economic development.
School funding is certainly
many topics of discussion this ses-
sion with many bills going
through the process trying to get
more money in the K-12 system.
Unfortunately, this important de-
cision is typically made toward
the very end of the session. We
know that schools are struggling
to make up for the budget cuts of
past years. A component of school
funding which was recently
brought to the Legislatures at-
tention in SB15 is the depletion of
the Extraordinary Cost Fund
used for students with special
needs. This is a fund which local
school districts can apply to when
they have costs which exceed the
schools special education levy. In
SD, there are 18,026 children who
qualify to receive special educa-
tion services. This represents
14.3% of all of our students and is
an increase of 7.1% over a ten-
year period. These statistics were
taken from the National Center
for Education Statistics. The pro-
posal of this bill from the SD De-
partment of Education would
shift even more of the funding for-
mula for special needs toward the
local taxpayer and away from the
state governments responsibility.
They are proposing an increase in
the local effort levy for special ed-
ucation from $1.2 to $1.3 and in
turn decreasing the states share
from 42.41% to 39.3% by 2015.
Also dealing with education
funding, I have introduced Senate
bill 76 which will put funding into
the Education Service Agencies
which is administered by North-
west Area Schools. This bill has
been through many revisions.It
passed out of the Senate Educa-
tion Committee and is currently
sitting in the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee waiting for fund-
ing.
I also introduced Senate Bill
80, which will be up in House Ed-
ucation this week, Wednesday,
for a hearing; it has already
passed the Senate. This bill will
reinstate the accounting proce-
dures our schools use too account
for impact aid funding.This lan-
guage was taken out statue this
past session in 2012. This bill
will reinstate those laws.
This past week in Senate, we
passed Senate Bill 195 to help
restart wind energy projects. The
Senate passed this bill out of com-
mittee to provide up-front money
as an incentive on wind energy
projects. South Dakota is a very
wind-rich state with the potential
for continued expansion. With the
Obama Administration blocking
projects such as the Big Stone II
expansion, which would have pro-
vided expanded infrastructure for
wind energy transmission capa-
bility, it falls to states to help
wind facilities develop and ex-
pand.
This week, the Senate took
swift action to expand our 2nd
amendment rights through Sen-
ate Bill 166 on Concealed Weapon
Permits. It passed the State Af-
fairs committee on an 8-0 vote,
and passed unanimously on Sen-
ate floor. This measure revises
the years that a concealed
weapon permit is valid; reducing
the bureaucracy that citizens face
in obtaining and maintaining a
concealed weapon permit. This
measure is now on to the House.
Currently, were coming up on
a vote for Senate Joint Resolution
which increases the vote required
to raise taxes. Senate Taxation
passed this measure as amended
6-1, and it will be an amendment
to Article 9 of the SD Constitu-
tion. This will require the support
of 2/3rd of voters to increase or
impose new taxes protecting
your hard earned paycheck from
anyone who tries to raise your
taxes. It provides a better level of
consistency, and matches the
number of votes that it requires
in the legislature.
SB 51 is a bill that has to do
with the Retailers Collection Al-
lowance. In 2006, the legislature
decided that as soon as the Tax
Relief Fund reached $10 million,
retailers would be eligible for a
reimbursement from that fund to
mitigate the cost of collecting and
submitting sales taxes. This reim-
bursement, or collection al-
lowance, would have originally
been a cost to the state of $6.4
million. SB 15, however, asks city
governments to pick up $1.5 mil-
lion of the tab, which is not neces-
sarily a cost to the city so much as
it is a source of revenue that they
will no longer collect. An amend-
ment is on the table that would
not require the municipalities to
cover this $1.5 million, which
would then require the state to
pick up the full bill. I feel it is only
fair the state covers the whole col-
lection allowance because that
was the original deal. It is impor-
tant to note that municipalities
are already paying $3 million per
year to the business tax fund in
order to help process the collec-
tion of sales, use, and contractors
excise taxes. This bill has put us
between a rock and a hard place
because the state is not paying
the amount that was agreed
upon.
On Tuesday, February 12th,
the Joint Appropriations Commit-
tee heard from the department of
Tribal Relations. The mission of
this division is to establish and
maintain a positive working rela-
tionship between Native Ameri-
can South Dakota citizens and all
other parts of government. Tribal
Relations was also established to
secure and coordinate federal,
state, and local resources to advo-
cate for the Native American pop-
ulation. This is a relatively new
department instituted by Gover-
nor Daugaard, which has been
very successful in building rela-
tionships with our tribes.

Interesting February weather
we are having here in South
Dakota. Several days have
seemed and looked more like
March than February. We are
still dry and that ugly yellow-
brown. Hopefully we will have
lots of spring rain so we can com-
plain about the mud but praise
God when the grass turns green!
Some folks have started calving
so Im sure theyre enjoying the
weather.
There will be a wedding
shower Sunday, February 24, at
the White Owl Hall for Chuck
Timmons and Darlene Bolm. The
shower begins at 1:00 P.M. with a
potluck. Everyone is invited (guys
that means you too). Call Kay
King with any questions.
The Faith High School fresh-
man class members have been
out and about selling pizza kits
and raffle tickets on two star
quilts. Apparently their class is
responsible for financing the post
prom party for the rest of the
school. In my day that was not
such a big deal but today the kids
expect more than breakfast at
4:00 and a movie before that. Post
Prom was started by concerned
parents who wanted to keep their
kids off the streets and out of a
wreck caused by drinking and
driving. If youd like to help them
out find a freshman and buy some
pizza kits or call the high school.
Theyll like it.

then ate dinner at O'Deas.
Thursday found Jim and Von-
nie O'Dea headed to the Hills
where they visited Jim's brother,
Dean, and then to Michael's bas-
ketball game. Another win for the
Spartans! Sunday, Jim and Betty
Smith, Vonnie's sister and hus-
band, were morning visitors.
They had dinner and in the after-
noon were joined by Marvin and
Phyllis Coleman. Cards were en-
joyed and later all were supper
guests before heading home.
Lacey and Quirt Wondercheck
rode to Faith Saturday night with
Harold and I to attend the Faith
Philip basketball game. It was
Parents Night for the boys so
there was a large turnout of fam-
ily, friends and fans. Robert Won-
dercheck picked up Lacey and
Quirt for supper before driving
home.
Harold and I stopped for a visit
with Corinna Thompson after the
ball game Saturday night. Sun-
day afternoon we visited at Bub
and DAnne Thompsons. Later
that afternoon, they traveled
around our area selling items for
Troys freshman class.
Mike Fisher caught me Thurs-
day morning to tell me about the
ladies I had questions on last
week. He said Pankratz ran the
lumber yard and Schuhs had a
construction company like Mikes.
Thanks for the answer to those
questions Mike. I had no idea.
It also just occurred to me that
many of todays Faith residents
may not know that Durkee Lake
is named in honor of Dr. Durkee,
Faiths long time physician and
town promoter. The old brick
building at Durkee Lake held the
machinery for the towns water
supply and pumping station.
Water fresh out of Durkee, of
course fresh out of Durkee occa-
sionally meant freshly ground up
frog pieces in any unfiltered
water that got to town or a big
chunk of moss and some weeds.
Besides all that it tasted pretty
bad and tended to get darker as
the dam got lower. Some folks
claimed Faith would never run
out of water because the sewer
sometimes spilled over, ran down
the draw and back into Durkee.
That way the tourists going
through town were bringing us
new water all the time, ingenious
idea!! The water didnt taste real
fine either. Many town residents
hauled or bought their drinking
water cause the chlorine could get
a little stout with all those lovely
additions. The Faith kids are also
lucky to have the swimming pool.
Again, we had Durkee Lake with
a ton of moss and a glop of mud.
The summer I was going to learn
to swim I caught poison ivy out
there and to this day cant swim!
My dad, Irvin, told us about
trailing cattle into Faith to sell.
They generally stopped at Durkee
to let them graze and fill up on
water. Ole Doc Durkee would
come out an give em hell to get
out of the water. Cant say I
blame him! Durkee Lake has
been a special place for a lot of
Faiths younger folks. It was a
place to party, have picnics, drink
beer, go fishing, sunbathe on the
dock, water ski, boat and enjoy
summer. My next question, Does
Doctor Durkee have any living
children or grandchildren? He
certainly influenced our little
town for several generations.
Tucker , Bev and Tina Hudson
were hills shoppers on thurs. they

Tucker and Bev Hudson were

We had 40s the early part of
last week, even made it to 50 on
Wednesday, then temperatures
dropped to the low 30s on Thurs-
day and Friday. We also had
plenty of wind and some snow. It
looked like it was really going to
do something in the morning but
it didnt last long. The weekend
was entirely different with highs
in the 50s. It sounds like it is
going to be cold most of this week,
in the teens and twenties.
Raymond and Diane Isaacs
went to Sturgis and Spearfish
last Thursday. Raymond had an
eye appointment and Diane rode
along and got in some shopping.
Dave and Eldora Fischbach
went to Rapid City last Thursday
and spent a few days. They re-
turned home Sunday afternoon.
I understand our community is
very lucky not to be attending
four funerals this week of some of
our high school students. Monday
night, four high school boys fell
into Durkee Lake in a pickup and
one of them was able to get out
and pull out the other three. They
walked to Tim Traversies place
and got warmed up and Im sure
parents were called.
The girls District Tournament
started here Monday night and
continued Tuesday night. The
Lady Longhorns had a bye in the
first round, along with Lemmon.
Those two play the winners of
Monday nights games. The
championship game will be Fri-

Good Luck Longorns!
The jr. high boys will be hold-
ing a tournament here this Satur-

Snowmobile trails across
South Dakota welcomed a mid-
winter blizzard, and snowmobil-
ers are taking full advantage of
the conditions while they can.
Trails are in excellent condi-
tion in northeastern South
Dakota, where some areas re-
ceived up to 16 inches of snow,
said State Trails Program Spe-
cialist Tony Schmitt of the De-
partment of Game, Fish and
Parks. Trails near Sisseton,
Webster, Milbank and Aberdeen
received a significant amount of
snow and are in excellent condi-
tion. Trails near Watertown,
Brookings and west to Huron did-
nt receive as much snow, but are
still in great condition.
Black Hills Trails are seeing
some better conditions after a re-
cent warm spell.
We had a few weeks where
many trails had minimal cover-
age due to the warm weather, but
cooler temperatures and the re-
cent snowfall have improved trail
conditions just in time for Presi-
dents Day Weekend, said Shan-
non Percy, Black Hills Trails
District Park Supervisor.
The upcoming holiday week-
end will be particularly busy in
the Black Hills because the South
Dakota Snowmobile Association
will host the 33rd Annual Gover-
nors Snowmobile Ride on Feb. 16
at Hardy Camp, located 20 miles
south of Lead near Trailshead
Lodge.
Schmitt would like to remind
snowmobilers to drive carefully,
as the coming weekend typically
brings heavy traffic to the Hills.
Please be aware of your sur-
roundings and slow down around
corners, so everyone on the trail
can have an enjoyable experi-
ence.

the snowmobile trails and up-
dated trail conditions in South
Dakota, visit www.gfp.sd.gov or

Opal Area News
By Kay Ingalls
Some catch-up news too late
for last week was that Gladys Pe-
terson, Michelle and Wyatt Mc-
Graw went to Carl and Judy's
town house to take in the stock
show and rodeo and for some
shopping. Michelle and Wyatt
went the next weekend as well.
Judy spent from the 3rd to 7th at
the ranch as she brought Wyatt
back for school and Gladys to
spend time visiting. Michelle had
an appointment on the 4th and
then came back to the ranch also.
Glenn and Margaret Fogelman
and Danwere in Faith on Tues-
day to do their income taxes, then
on Wednesday they went to Pied-
mont to attend the Don Hight fu-
neral services. Thursday, back to
Rapid City to keep eye appoint-
ments.
I visited briefly with Zona Vig
on Tuesday afternoon. Kind of
one-sided visiting as Zona had
lost her voice but wasn't feeling
ill.
Marlin and Ethel Ingalls kept
morning appointments in Rapid
City on Wednesday, then at-
tended the funeral services as
well. Friday afternoon, they went
down to the Paul and Debbie Del-
bridge ranch to help Debbie cele-
brate her birthday.
Volleyball is still being held
every Tuesday at the Opal Hall
starting after 6 in the evening.
Lots of room for more to come and
have a fun evening and good ex-
ercise.
Dwayne, Hope and Merle Vig
attended the funeral services
for Don Hight on Wednesday,
also.
Howard and I were in Rapid
City for appointments on
Wednesday, then home early as

she left to go to her folks near
Whitewood to spend a few days
visiting.Her brother, Paul Best-
gen, was home from Austin, TX
for a visit so their family was hav-
ing some fun times together.Sat-
urday, I drove in to Rita's as well
to see all and especially to get my
hands on the newest great-grand-
son Levi Bestgen who is about 2
and half weeks old. Great grand-
child number 14 and real sweet
baby.
Rod, Tracy and Justin Ingalls
went to Rapid City on Friday.
Rod needed to replace his lost So-
cial Security card so he can get a
drivers license in April. Earlier he
had to get a certified birth certifi-
cate, now all they need is finger-
prints and shoe size!!! Only
kidding about the last, but think
someone who has had a SD driv-
ers license for almost 40 years
and some quite a bit longer than
that,should be able to just get it
renewed with out all the hassle
we have now.
Spud and Bernice Lemmel at-
tended the Center of the Nation
Wool annual meeting held in
Belle Fourche on Thursday. Sat-
urday, Bernice and sister, Mary
Hanzlik Murray, went to Upton,

Sturgis where they met up with
Bernice and the Rorey Lemmel
family for supper.

Chip and family at Maurine and
all went to Spearfish. Chip had
an appointment and Carmen and
Braylie visited with Norman and
McGee Vansickel. Saturday,
Dorothy Heidler had a birthday
party in Faith for family, but
John and Carmen both had colds
so thought best not to attend.
Walter and Diane Fees went to
the Hills on Thursday to celebrate
Diane's birthday and Valentines
Day. They spent overnight, com-
ing home on Friday forenoon.
Jesse Fees came up on Friday to
help Walter on a pickup project

and children came to visit her
folks.Saturday was spent feeding
cows with Grandpa DC, riding
horse with Hope and visiting with
JT, Kelsey and Miss Brixie for the
first time. Jason got some shoot-
ing in with Uncle JT and
Dakotagot in some target practic-
ing with her new gun.
Nathan Ingalls and OJ Heidler
went to Rapid City on Saturday
and spent the evening and part of
Sunday working on a repair job
on the guest bathroom in his
trailer. Jason Ingalls joined them
for part of the time, as well as
OJ's friend Jason Hunsucker.
Tracy and Justin Ingalls took
off Sunday forenoon to drive to
Chamberlain, SD to meet Tracy's
sister and bring her back to her
home in Sturgis. Deb had spent
about 3 weeks or so helping her
daughter near Baltic.
Sunday morning, Dwayne Vig
flew Dakota Dunn and family into
Faith for church services. Hope
and Zona drove in, and then after
dinner at the ranch, all loaded up
in Dakota's Suburban to drive to
Sturgis for the area wide singing.
Nice crowd in attendance includ-
ing Dwayne and Zona's five chil-
dren, four of the spouses and all
14 grandkids.
It is good to see Merle Vig driv-
ing himself to church on Sunday
and seems to be doing real good
with his recovery. Prayers are
asked for Larry Jensen for health
improvements and also for Trin-
ity Wood in her continuing battle
with her illness.
Central Meade County News
By Sandy Rhoden
The weekend's temperatures
reached into the 50swith winds
picking up on Sunday. Monday
greeted us with more winter-like
temperatures.
A blood drive was held last
Monday at the Community Bap-
tist Church basement. Donna re-
ported a very good turnout with
24 donors. The community is for-
tunate to have Donna Cammack
and Carolyn Moreland who faith-
fully make the many calls to
schedule the blood donors. They
also spend the day at the blood
drive and make sure needs are
met and goodies are there.
The Bull Creek Cafe was
standing room only for
theirValentines Day Special last
Thursday night. Floyd and Donna
Cammack's wedding anniversary
is on Feb.14 so Bobby and Aggie
Jones treated Donna and Floyd to
dinner for their 61st wedding an-
niversary.
The Women's Retreat held in
Rapid City on Friday and Satur-
day night was well attended by
Central Meade County women.
Some who attended were Sue
Labrier, Sheri Spring, Melanie
Cammack, Yvonne Cammack,
Jodi Shaw, Ann Shaw, Kristen
Smiley, Sharon Keffeler, Donna
Cammack and others. Most of
these ladies brought their daugh-
ters as well. Sharon Keffeler
brought her granddaughter, Joce-
lyn. Kristen Smiley enjoyed lead-
ing a high school group. One word
about the retreat that has been
heard floating around is 'awe-
some'.
Rick Smiley has been scuba
diving in a tropical island this
week. There will hopefully be
more updates next week.
Dean Wink and Larry Rhoden
attended the last cracker barrel of
the season in Piedmont. It took
place at 1:30 pm at the Legion
Hall.
Dean and Joan Wink then
went into Rapid City for a movie.
Gary Cammack was unable to at-
tend because of a previous family
committment.
There are 3 weeks left of the
2013 legislative session. Cross
over day is this week so all House
bills will need to be in the senate.
Likewise,Senate bills that have
passed must go over to the House
side to be heard.
Sharon Keffeler, Dana and
JayDe Keffeler and family, and
Joy Smiley will be leaving for
Phoenix, AZ on Thursday for a
few days. They will very likely
enjoy much more comfortable
temperatures than we will back
here in South Dakota.
Amanda Ingalls turned 21
years old last week and several
Ingalls family members of Robert
and JoDee's have February birth-
days. They held a birthday cele-
bration with family on Sunday
afternoonin the Community Bap-
tist Church fellowship room.
Rural Neighbors is scheduled
for this week on Thursday. An-
other round of winter weather is
predicted for this week. Central
Meade County is still in need of
moisture.

Cross Over day, the last day
for a bill or joint resolution to pass
the house of origin, will be
Wednesday, February 20. There
are only three weeks left in the
2013 legislative session, so the
end is in sight. Sen. Maher and I
attended two cracker barrels this
weekend, Friday evening in Bison
with Right to Life, and Sunday af-
ternoon at the Indian Creek
church south of Meadow Corner
with Dakota Rural Action.
Here are some of the bills that
were passed out of the two House
committees I serve on:
Agriculture and Natural Re-
sources Committee:
*HB 1089 to require statewide
livestock ownership inspection
came out of committee on a 7 to 6
vote.
*HB 1149 to revise and clarify
requirements relating to limits of
small game and fish taken by
small game hunting parties and
fishing parties. This bill would
allow a group hunting together to
harvest the total number of fish
or game allowed instead of each
one having to quit when they
reach their individual limit.
*HB 1187 to provide alterna-
tive brand inspection procedures
for rodeo livestock. If livestock
owned by and bearing the regis-
tered brand of a bona fide rodeo
producer are being transported
out of the livestock ownership in-
spection area by the owner for
rodeo purposes and there is no
change of ownership, the inspec-
tion certificate may be endorsed
by the inspector issuing the cer-
tificate in order to serve as a
travel permit for the livestock de-
scribed in the certificate. The cer-
tificate must be renewed yearly.
*HB 1228 gives producers pri-
ority to recover on a bond seized
by the state from a public grain
warehouse or grain buyer.
I am the House prime sponsor
of SB 205 to put wolves on the
predator list in South Dakota.
Rep. Lance Russell and I met
with USFW at the start of session
to let the feds know what I had
planned. USFW said they didnt
have a problem with the bill be-
cause they are going to take the
wolf off the endangered species
list in the western Dakotas in
March of 2013. Just last week two
wolves were seen by several of our
neighbors in a pasture ten miles
south of our ranch and several
other people have reported seeing
them in this area. SB 205 came
out of Senate Ag and passed the
Senate with not one vote against
it. It will come to the House Ag
committee this week.
Local Government:
*SB 88 authorizes the county
to deny bids on county sales of tax
deed properties if the bidder is
not current on property taxes due.
*SB 86 increases the minimum
salary payable to county officials,
state's attorneys, and sheriffs.
*SB 156 authorizes township
boards to increase the front foot
assessment for road mainte-
nance, repairs, and improve-
ments and to revise certain
provisions concerning road dis-
tricts established by townships.
These bills passed the House
and have been sent to the Senate:
*HB 1246 authorizes aerial
pesticide applicators to apply pes-
ticide on their own property. Any
commercial applicator who is li-
censed or certified pursuant to
chapter 38-21 to apply pesticides
to agricultural land may apply
pesticides to property owned by
the applicator if the commercial
categories in which the applicator
is licensed are the appropriate ap-
plications to be made.
*HB 1093 allowing the use of
dogs to hunt mountain lions and
leashed dogs to track and retrieve
wounded or presumed dead big
game animals.
* HB 1220 permits the use of
golf carts within state parks or
recreation areas.
*SB 126 revises the provisions
that authorize townships to com-
bine the offices of the clerk and
the treasurer.
* SB 127 revises provisions
concerning the health and educa-
tional facilities authority.
Several of the bills that came
out of our Oil and Gas Develop-
ment summer study committee
will be coming up in committees
in both the House and the Senate
this week. Ill be able to fill you in
on any action taken on those next
week.

Legislative Update
Rep. Betty Olson
District 28 Legislators, Olson
and Maher, discussed pending
legislation with about 30 area
constituents at a cracker barrel
hosted by Western Plains Action
Group at the Indian Creek
Lutheran Church on Sunday, the
17th.
Several bills of interest were
presented by each legislator in
their opening statements. Rep.
Olson spent quite a little time on
the funding and rules pertaining
to Animal Damage Control divi-
sion of the Game Fish and Parks.
Funding had been cut and a bill
to reinstate and increase funding
is making its way through the
legislature, also a bill to allow
predator districts to increase the
amount of assessment on cattle
and sheep to one dollar ($1.00)
per head. If this passes any in-
crease in assessment would have
to come to a vote in the within the
predator district requesting the
increase. Another bill deals with
a ADC Central Committee which
has basically done nothing due to
the fact that only state adminis-
trators served on the committee;
a bill to add one representative
from each of the states agricul-
tural organizations, (Sheepgrow-
ers, Stockgrowers, etc.) would be
added to the committee to allow
input from landowners and live-
stock producers, is working its
way through the legislative
process. Coyotes are becoming a
major cause of loss in some East
River areas and now the Senate
Majority Leader is in support of
the Animal Damage Control pro-
gram so the bills seem to have a
chance of passing. Olson re-
marked that it is amazing how
bills can fly through when the
powers that be get behind them.
Senator Maher serves on the
Commerce, Education and Taxa-
tion Committees; he serves as
chair of the Taxation Committee.
He reported that it appears fund-
ing will be reinstated for Educa-
tional Service Areas, which is a
cooperative service of several sep-
arate school districts. These pro-
vide services to all schools for
implementing federally man-
dated programs such as No Child
Left Behind. A bill to replace
stripped language about account-
ing for Impact Aid for school dis-
tricts is being considered.
A big issue in the eastern part
of the state concerns meandered
and non-meandered waters which
is a huge problem for landowners,
especially in the northeast. This
legislation is being fought dili-
gently by fishermen and bird
hunters. The bill seeks to solve
the problem of public access to
those waters.
Maher is concerned about the
increase to Medicaid in South
Dakota, remarking that the pro-
gram will see an increase in
budget of 250 percent in two
years because of the rules in the
Federal Health Care Law (Oba-
macare) the working poor will
be forced to go on Medicaid and
the state will have to pay for that
increase. In his opinion the fund-
ing will be taken from what is
currently in the Education por-
tion of the budget to pay for the
budget increases needed by Med-
icaid. This does not bode well for
schools already struggling with fi-
nances.
The question of township lia-
bility on unimproved/unmarked
sections lines, which are consid-
ered public access areas, was
fielded by a constituent. Maher
suggested that townships get
legal assistance to come up with
a solution and language sugges-
tions for a bill which he would be
glad to introduce in the 2014 Leg-
islative Session and Olson agreed
to co-sponsor such a bill. Olson,
who serves on the Local Govern-
ment Committee, said she would
like to be involved as that is
where the bill would be heard
first.
There were a lot of comments,
questions and suggestions by sev-
eral constituents. Maher stayed
around to visit with attendees;
Olson had to hurry off to attend a
function at Reva. Western Plains
Action Group was thanked by the
Legislators for hosting the suc-
cessful and well attended cracker
barrel.

Willie Nelsons song, On the
Road again, may very well de-
scribe many of us especially as we
head into tournament time in our
communities. But, do you ever
wonder ...Whos on the road with
YOU?
According to NHTSA (National
Highway Transportation Safety
Administration), there is an aver-
age of 14,000 drunk drivers on
the road per hour. NHTSA also
reports that about one-third of
all drivers arrested or convicted of
driving while intoxicated or driv-
ing under the influence of alcohol
are repeat offenders. It is esti-
mated that drunk drivers kill ap-
proximately 30 people every day
in the United States; that number
does not include the number of
people who are injured in alcohol
related crashes.
As you head out for tourna-
ment action, make sure YOU are
the sober driver and help us make
a dent in the statistics by report-
ing drivers you suspect are driv-
ing drunk. Look out and report
drivers that display any of these
behaviors:
swerving in and out of their
lane.
inability to maintain a con-
stant speed.
hugging the side of the road.
braking too much.
If you notice any of these be-
haviors, get the license plate
number and a description of the
car. Do NOT try to stop or con-
front a drunk driver. Pull over
and call local law enforcement;
they are trained to handle these
situations.
Most drunk drivers think they
are able to safely operate their ve-
hicle and are unaware of how
even a little alcohol can turn
them into a danger on the road.
Keep our roads safe for ALL
drivers and passengers.
DRIVE SOBER and always
BUCKLE UP!

Are you ready to take charge of
your financial future? South
Dakota Saves is here to help. Feb.
25 to March 2, 2013 is SDSaves
week.
During this week, sponsors
aim to promote good savings be-
havior, help consumers learn
more about personal finance is-
sues and suggest ways to save.
SDSU Extension is part of a na-
tional coalition spearheading the
promotion of savings across our
nation. America Saves is a na-
tionwide campaign run by the
Consumer Federation of America
that encourages savings among
low to moderate income house-
holds. Each year they motivate
youth and adults to join as a
Young America Saver on-line and
to take action during this week by
opening or adding to an account
at a local financial institution.
This opportunity allows people to
commit to a savings goal and
identify specific plans to achieve.
You can enroll as a South
Dakota Saver at www.southdako-
tasaves.org Enrolled savers re-
ceive a newsletter with a variety
of savings topics. The website has
many online resources where you
can learn to save such as building
an emergency fund, saving for a
home, education or retirement.
The campaign encourages peo-
ple to set a savings goal; make a
plan on how you will save money;
and learn to save monthly
through direct deposit or auto-
matic transfer from your checking
to savings for every time you get
paid. Maintaining an emergency
savings account should be a top
priority for every individual and
family. It is possible to have an
emergency fund for all Ameri-
cans, no matter what your income
is. With an emergency savings ac-
count you will not deplete your
savings that is set aside for your
personal goals.
There are many places to find
money to save. Start with loose
change that you accumulate.
Americans typically save more
than $100 in loose change each
year. Cut back on small, unneces-
sary expenditures. The America
Saves website lists more than
twenty ideas for reducing spend-
ing. These ideas range from pack-
ing a lunch, to switching from
daily lattes to daily coffee, to not
bouncing checks.
Saving for an emergency fund
may be easier if you involve your
whole family in meeting this chal-
lenge. By explaining the impor-
tance to your spouse and children,
they may even help build the ac-
count.
For more information on this
campaign contact Karen Slu-
necka, SDSU Extension Family
Resource Management Field Spe-
cialist, at 605-626-2870 or email
at karen.slunecka@sdstate.edu.
