City Council hears engineering plans for new road project
by Karlee Moore
In attendance at the Monday,
May 6 city council meeting includ-
ed: Jay Drayer, Joe Connot, Wayne
Esmay, Mayor David Geisler, Matt
Kinsley, Mike Jost, Arnie Waddell,
Krysti Barnes, Karlee Moore,
Dana Foreman, John Weber, Ray
Erikson and Jerry Hatheway.
The meeting was called to order
at 7:30 p.m., and the agenda and
minutes were approved.
May building permits include:
Lynette Tollakson wishing to tear
down the Peter and Wendy Pappas
house on Main Street and move in
a new 32x70 double wide trailer
house; Brian OReilly to replace
the basement and build an addi-
tion on the former Mick OReilly
house on Jefferson Avenue; Daniel
Grace to remodel the back of the
former USDA office on Main Street
into an apartment and turn the
front of the building into a hunting
store; Travis Van Dam to place a
house on Mustang Drive; and Matt
Kinsley to install a sprinkler sys-
tem in his yard on Second Street.
Dana Foreman from KLJ Engi-
neering was present at the meet-
ing and spoke during the public
area about the current street proj-
ect between the high school and
the elementary school.
Foreman said the street is 70 to
75 percent designed, and the rest
of the plans will include making
sure that there will be no flooding
and working on the intersections
involved, among other things.
Foreman went over the plans
with the council and said that they
planned to raise Fourth Street to
avoid water and flooding issues.
He also discussed pouring drive-
ways for the residents on Jackson
Avenue, as there is quite a bit of
parallel parking on that street. He
said that his company will keep
the lines of communication open
with each home owner to make
sure that they get the driveway
cut that they want.
He told the council that he will
have the plans finalized by the
summer and the street project
could begin in the spring of 2014.
Vouchers were then approved
after brief discussion. Barnes told
the council that she had purchased
$300 worth of golf clubs for the golf
lessons being offered this summer
through the city.
Sheriff Weber was next and pre-
sented the sheriff s report.
Barnes told the council that she
had drafted a letter to Gov. Dau-
gaard expressing the need for
more law enforcement in Jones
County and Murdo. Connot told
the council that he would not sign
the letter if it mentioned the Key-
stone pipeline. He said that we
need additional law enforcement
regardless of whether or not the
pipeline comes through. Barnes
said she would rewrite the draft.
Weber said that there is a new
cops personnel grant available
that is due May 22. The county has
to be a sponsor of the grant, and
the grant is to only be used for per-
sonnel, not equipment.
Connot said, If we had more
Highway Patrolmen in our county,
John and Rich wouldnt be on the
Interstate as much. He also said
that they would be able to patrol
more in town.
Jost suggested opening the idea
to the public, utilizing the Murdo
Coyote, and ask for public sugges-
tions.
Esmay said, If we can get at
least one more Highway Patrol-
man, it would help tremendously.
Waddell said, I think we need
more law, but I dont think a city
cop is the answer.
Hatheway was next with the
street report. He said that the
dump is open. Barnes suggested
that they put up an interchange-
able sign with summer and winter
hours. Hatheway also said that he
would like the city to not allow
dump keys to be given out.
The water report with Ray Erik-
son was next on the agenda. He
addressed the equipment that the
city rents out. He said that Jerry
Hildebrand had rented a genera-
tor and protested the bill that he
received after use. Hildebrand
thought the rate was too high. It
was mentioned at the meeting that
the city is not in the rental busi-
ness. Waddell said, Maybe there
are some things that we shouldnt
rent out.
Erikson suggested that the
council members take a look at the
list of items the city rents out and
make a decision on what to rent
out. The council agreed that the
city needed to make sure that any-
one renting equipment from the
city signs a rental agreement
before taking anything.
Barnes then presented the
finance report. The council agreed
to pay Trait Thorne $1,450 per
month to be the pool manager.
Barnes also reminded the council
that the June meeting will be
moved to Wednesday, June 5. In
addition, she asked about the pos-
sibility of putting out a newsletter
from the city. The council agreed
that she could.
Old business included another
review of the trailer ordinance set
forth by the city, as well as getting
the Ingalls building issue wrapped
up. City attorney Tom Harmon
wrote the city a letter explaining
his suggestion for recouping the
costs of removing the building.
New business included the city
writing a letter of support for the
rail expansion currently happen-
ing in Lyman County. Also, the city
agreed to advertise the hay ground
at the North Dam.
In addition, Jim Butt wrote a
letter to the city urging they con-
sider allowing wife Bernie Butt to
raise chickens in her back yard.
Esmay said that the city would
have to change the ordinance, and
the council agreed that Butt would
have to resubmit a request.
The meeting concluded at 10:30
p.m.
Reviewing plans Dana Foreman (standing) from KLJ Engineering, goes over plans for the
new road project between the elementary school and the high school.

Thune statement on farm bill markup
Senator John Thune (R-S.D.)
today issued a statement following
the Senate Agriculture Commit-
tees markup of the Agriculture
Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013:
Todays markup is just the
beginning of drafting the 2013
Farm Bill, said Thune. The cur-
rent climate of budgetary and fis-
cal restraint requires that we sub-
ject all areas of federal spending to
close examinationno program
can be exempt from reform, includ-
ing the Farm Bill. Over the past
two years in preparation for this
Farm Bill, I have introduced legis-
lation that would reform several
titles of the bill and save more
than $50 billion, while providing a
strong safety net for production
agriculture, nutrition assistance to
those in need, and the necessary
tools to protect our forests, soil,
and natural resources. Unfortu-
nately, the current Senate Farm
Bill fails to meet this level of
reform. I look forward to working
with my colleagues to continue
improving the Farm Bill on the
floor and through a conference
with the House of Representa-
tives.
Thune offered and cosponsored
several reform-minded Commodi-
ty and Food and Nutrition Title
amendments to the Farm Bill,
including two that were accepted
into the Chairmans Mark and
approved by voice vote. An amend-
ment cosponsored by Thune that
eliminated outdated fixed target
prices for certain commodity crops
and saved $276 million was
accepted into the bill. Thunes
amendment to require that native
sod and longstanding grassland
acres converted to sod be tracked
by the U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture was incorporated into his sod-
saver provision, which was also a
part of the bill. The bill also
includes Thunes Forestry Title
improvements that will assist
fighting pine beetles in the Black
Hills.
The bills Commodity Title
included reforms from Thunes
Aggregate Revenue and Risk Man-
agement legislation, which elimi-
nated direct payments and other
outdated programs. However, the
bill voted on today included a cost-
ly fixed target price and counter-
cyclical program for peanuts and
rice which Thune was unable to
support.
During todays markup, Thune
offered the following amendments
he believed would have improved
the bill; however, they were not
accepted:
An amendment to limit the
Adverse Market Price program to
rice and peanuts. The new target
price program is unnecessary for
other crops, and limiting it to just
rice and peanuts would save $897
million over 10 years.
An amendment to ensure a fair
regional distribution of nutrition
education and obesity grants with-
in the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP), for-
merly known as food stamps. This
amendment would have saved $2
billion over 10 years without
impacting SNAP benefits for those
currently enrolled in the program.
An amendment to encourage
able-bodied adults without
dependents to work part-time or
participate in work training pro-
grams in order to receive SNAP
benefits beyond the current three-
month period.
Thune will continue pushing for
needed reforms to improve Farm
Bill programs and save taxpayer
dollars.

Well, Murdo in May is history.
Fridays Main Street Madness
was a success. The car show
brought many to show, look and
buy. The indoor flea market held
at the senior center was very well
attended; lots of cool and neat
stuff to see and buy. The indian
tacos served by the Turner Youth
were delicious and the brats were
really good, too. The highway was
full of trailers, trucks and cars
being brought in for the sale on
Saturday with many different
vendors setting up their wares
along and in the parking lot of the
Pioneer Auto Show. A real carni-
val atmosphere pervaded the
whole of Murdo. Sundays antique
auction filled out the weekend
with a really nice crowd looking to
find a treasure to take home.
Deloris Iversen has a new great
grandson, her 17th great grand-
child. Carson Raine was born May
8, 2013, weighing six pounds, five
ounces and was 19 inches long.
His parents are Robbie Polaski
and Brandee Jackson. Grandpar-
ents are Tina and Russ Polaski. It
is their first grandchild. Deloris
returned home on Friday, just in
time for Susie Lymans garage
sale. Barbara Godfrey flew to
Apache Junction and drove
Deloris home.
Saturday, May 4, Butch and
Lana Fedderson, Marty and Vicki
Jensen and boys, Chris and Beth
Fedderson and family all attended
Erica Uhlirs graduation from
Black Hills State University. She
graduated with a Bachelor of Sci-
ence Degree in accounting. On
Sunday, they loaded her stuff and
moved Erica to Gillette, Wyoming,
where she will be working. Court-
ney Venard, who has been room-
ing with Erica, went along to help
with the move.
Mr. and Mrs. Casey and Mar-
lene McMillan and Sienna spent
the weekend visiting Helen
McMillan and other family and
friends and enjoyed the Murdo In
May celebration.
David Geisler comments that
with the help of his crew, the
Murdo Chamber of Commerce,
Turner Youth and the combined
effort of the whole community,
that Murdo in May is becoming
quite an event - bringing in many
people to town for the car show,
flea market, car sale and antique
auction and that it is very good for
all the businesses in town.
Congratulations Rose Comp,

The U.S. Department of Agri-
cultures Farm Service Agency will
also accept general CRP offers
nationwide from May 30 to June
14. The general CRP provides
annual financial compensation to
establish and maintain conserva-
tion cover on cropland for 10 to 15
years with the goals of increasing
water quality, reducing soil ero-
sion, and providing wildlife habi-
tat.
CRP plays an important role in
South Dakotas wildlife popula-
tions, said Chad Switzer, wildlife
program administrator in the
state Department of Game, Fish
and Parks.
The undisturbed grassland
habitat that CRP provides in
South Dakota is vitally important
for grassland nesting songbirds,
pheasants, and waterfowl, as well
as big-game species like white-
tailed deer, Switzer said. There
is a proven record on the benefits
of CRP in South Dakota in both
influencing wildlife populations
and by providing producers with
another option in their land-man-
agement decisions.
For more information or to sub-
mit an offer, agricultural produc-
ers should set up an appointment
with their local USDA Farm Serv-
ice Agency Office
Pheasants Forever Farm Bill
wildlife biologists will also host a
series of informational meetings
across South Dakota in coming
weeks. The biologists will answer
questions about how CRP will
work for landowners/agricultural
producers. If you cannot make one
of the meetings, contact a GFP Pri-
vate Lands biologist, visit
http://www.gfp.sd.gov/wildlife/pri-
vate-land/default.aspx or talk to a
Pheasants Forever Farm Bill
Wildlife Biologist.
A South Dakota Pheasants For-
ever CRP meeting will be held in
Murdo at the Dan Parish Technol-
ogy Center with biologist Jim Ris-
tau at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May
29.

Growing Old Gracefully
by Pastor Paul M. Sadler
Scripture Reference: Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; the elder women as mothers; the younger as sis-
ters, with all purity. I Timothy 5:1,2
The Apostle Paul deals with many different types of relationships in his epistles, but perhaps the most delicate relationship is with those who are older
in years. Like the seasons of the year, each of us gradually grow older until we find ourselves in the winter of our lives. The first 70 years are normally filled
with vim and vigor as we fulfill the desires of our heart. But if by reason of strength we survive beyond this point the Scriptures indicate that the days ahead
are going to be filled with labor and sorrow. Labor, in the sense that even the mundane things of life, such as rising from a chair, becomes burdensome.
To complicate matters further, sorrow surrounds us like a tattered garment as death robs us of those we love. Little wonder that Paul admonishes us to
esteem the senior members of the Body of Christ as fathers and mothers. Their plight deserves our sensitivity and their years of experience our respect. Fur-
thermore, it will serve us well to remember that someday soon we will be the patriarch or matriarch.
In Ecclesiastes wise old Solomon, stricken in years himself, describes the aging process that creeps up on us like the leopard that stalks its prey.
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in
them (Eccl. 12:1).
Someday the grim reaper will stand at the foot of our deathbed and the mourners [will] go about the streets whispering: Has he passed on? Beloved,
there are thousands of ways to leave this earthly tabernacle, but perhaps the most common today is when the pitcher is broken at the fountain. In short, a
fatal heart attack.
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it (vs. 7).
The sting of death is sin, but thanks be unto God that Christ died for our sins thereby removing its sting. Thus, according to Pauls epistles death is mere-
ly a passage way into eternal life for all those who believe (I Cor. 15:55-57; Heb. 2:14,15). No one looks forward to growing old, but hopefully we will do
so gracefully and with dignity. As they say: There is nothing to fear, but fear itself. The blood of Christ is our eternal life insurance policy which has a
rider guaranteeing our future resurrection!
Two minutes with the bible
Letter to the editor
If you have children in the pub-
lic school you have probably heard
of Common Core State Standards.
CCSS claim to have more rigorous
standards. What could be wrong
with that? We all want our chil-
dren to get the best education pos-
sible. The CCSS are an unproven,
untested, set of standards that are
aligned with UN goal of global cit-
izenship. We are told they are
state led. That's simply not true.
The CC standards were initiated
by private interests in Washing-
ton, DC, without any representa-
tion from the states. The legisla-
ture was not involved in adopting
these standards. We have been
told that they are just standards.
Standards drive curriculum. The
federal government is the only one
funding the writing of the stan-
dardized tests. That makes this a
nationalized education. We can
only add 15 percent to the curricu-
lum. What does that do to our local
control? We believe that a decision
that affects our children's educa-
tion, should not be made without a
much broader discussion, validat-
ed research, and much greater
input from parents and citizens
than it was originally afforded.

Margaret Dennis
Obituary
Our beloved mother and grand-
mother, Margaret Dennis, was
born on August 2, 1936, in Pierre,
South Dakota, the 8th of 9 chil-
dren born to Jack and Margaret
(McCullough) Huston. Friends and
family always knew her as Mar-
guerite.
Marguerites childhood home
was a large ranch in South Creek
Township, eight miles southeast of
Midland, S.D. She also lived for a
time in Okaton, Capa, Murdo, and
Sturgis. She attended grade school
at the White Bell country school in
South Creek Township, where her
mother often taught class, as well
as Capa and Okaton schools. She
attended 7th grade in Murdo, S.D.
while living with her sister, Mary
Jane Dugan. High school years
were spent at St. Martins Catholic
Academy in Sturgis, where she
lived in a dorm.
Marguerite was a dark-haired
beauty with big brown eyes. Rela-
tives remember her as a young
lady who looked for fun and made
friends everywhere she went. She
had a knack for conversation and
entertaining. Her laugh was con-
tagious and she always knew how
to have a good time. She some-
times sang in a family band, and
also for her parents 50th anniver-
sary party in Midland. Please
Release Me was one of her
favorite songs to sing.
On December 14, 1958, she
married Ronald Dennis, also from
Midland. The couple moved from
South Dakota to Maui, Hawaii, in
1960, and then on to Anchorage,
Alaska, in 1961, where they raised
daughters Marda and Mikayla.
The family traveled around the
state on numerous road construc-
tion jobs, including Valdez during
the pipeline days, then settled in
Fairbanks for the last 33 years.
Mudder, as she was named by
her granddaughter, Marsharie,
loved her grandchildren. She was
there for them in every aspect of
their lives. The kids have fond
memories of her telling them to
hush as they sat around her with
big eyes, listening to her give a
play-by-play of the happenings on
her police scanner. At the many
basketball games she attended,
she yelled Get your hands up
even on offense. She watched her
family as they grew and was
always there with a helping hand
to pick them up. She also knew
every move they made, even before
they told her. She was a very spe-
cial person to all who knew her,
and she will be greatly missed.
Marguerite is survived by her
daughter, Mikayla Dennis of Fair-
banks; her grandchildren: Mar-
sharie Buchanan and children
(Jacob and Ariel) of Palmer, Alas-
ka; Hope Britt of Fairbanks;
Justin Britt of Anchorage; Jayla
Gentry and Ronald Gentry and
Ronalds wife, Lisa, all of Fair-
banks. Also, sisters: Mary Jane
Dugan of Rapid City, S.D., and
Sharon Malsom of Fort Bragg,
Calif., and dozens of nieces and
nephews.
She was preceded in death by
her husband, Ronald H. Dennis;
her daughter, Marda M. Smith;
brothers Arthur A. Huston, Jack
B. Huston, Rex W. Huston, Joseph
M. Huston, Huey F. Huston; sister
Josephine A. (Joann) Flyte; and
parents Jack and Margaret Hus-
ton.
St. Marys Foundation to
sponsor ASIST training
St. Marys Foundation is spon-
soring the Applied Suicide Inter-
vention Skills Training (ASIST)
June 19 and 20, 2013 at Capital
University Center in Pierre. The
training runs from 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. each day.
ASIST is a comprehensive, coor-
dinated and integrated suicide
intervention training that reflects
current best-practice in suicide
intervention. ASIST is the result
of more than 20 years of research
and development, and is the most
widely used suicide intervention
program in the world.
Participants in the program will
learn the signs of suicidal think-
ing, how to intervene to prevent
immediate risk of suicide, and
resources available in the local
area.
This training is offered free of
charge. To register, email Julie
Moore at Julie.moore@avera.org.
The class is limited to 30 partici-
pants. Continuing Education
Credits are available for social
workers, counselors and first
responders. Graduate and Under-
graduate credit hour is available
through The University of Sioux
Falls for $45.
MORE ABOUT ASIST
Most people considering suicide
share their distress and their
intent with others. Appropriate
training can help us see and
respond to these invitations for
help.
Commonly known as ASIST,
Applied Suicide Intervention
Skills Training provides practical
training for those who want to
learn how to prevent the immedi-
ate risk of suicide. ASIST work-
shops, which are two days in
length, are intended for prospec-
tive hotline volunteers; and for
emergency service workers, coun-
selors, teachers, ministers, mental
health practitioners, community
volunteers, and anyone who might
be concerned about family or
friends.
ASIST workshops use small
groups of one trainer to no more
than 15 participants. ASIST uses
many different teaching processes
to create a practice-oriented and
interactive experience. The
emphasis of the workshops is on
suicide first aid and on helping the
person at risk stay safe and seek
further help. In the workshops
participants learn the following:
Recognize the invitations to
help
Reach out and offer support
Review the risk of suicide
Apply a suicide intervention
model
Link people with community
resources
Evaluations have shown that
the workshop increases caregivers
knowledge and confidence to
respond to a person at risk of sui-
cide, that intervention skills are
retained over time, and that they
are able to effectively put to use
the training and skills acquired to
save lives.
The training includes workshop
materials and certification.
Showing appreciation
for our nations military
by Senator John Thune
South Dakota has a proud lega-
cy of military service, extending
from some of our state's earliest
days to our current conflicts
around the globe. South Dakotans
of every background have always
answered the call to defend Amer-
ica from those who seek to destroy
the freedom that we cherish. I
doubt there are many South
Dakotans who do not have a fami-
ly member or friend who has worn
one of our nation's uniforms.
May is National Military Appre-
ciation month, and provides all of
us an opportunity to recognize the
role our servicemen and women
play in making America the great-
est country on earth. Our nation
has done remarkable things
throughout its short history to
make the world a better place
abroad and at home. Our troops
have protected our citizens from
foreign and domestic threats, and
fought in the name of liberty all
over the world.
Last month I had the opportuni-
ty to welcome home the 927th Sur-
vey and Design team of the South
Dakota National Guard from a
nine month deployment to Kuwait
and Afghanistan. It is always a
privilege to watch our troops
return home to their families and
their communities. These service-
men and women represent some of
the best that both South Dakota
and our nation have to offer, and
they make us proud to call them
family, friends, and neighbors.
Honoring our troops and veter-
ans also includes helping preserve
their legacy, history, and stories.
One way that people can continue
to preserve the memories of our
servicemen and women is through
the Veterans History Project
through the Library of Congress.
Interviewing your friends and
family can be a great way to learn
more about their experience and
contributions during their time
serving our country. I encourage
people to visit http://www.loc.gov/
vets for more information.
I invite all South Dakotans to
join me in not only remembering
those who have fought for our free-
dom and liberty, but in making a
commitment to honor our living
heroes throughout the entire year
in our thoughts, prayers, and
actions as they continue to serve
on our behalf.

Off to Denver on last senior adventure
leads to wild fun at amusement park
By Paige Venard
After months of fundraising and
planning, the senior class traveled
to Denver, Colorado, for a four-day
adventure. Bright eyed and bushy
tailed the class loaded up the bus
at 7 a.m. Thursday morning, May
2, with Trudy Hurst as the driver
and David and Katie Hunt for
chaperones. After two stops, one
movie and long naps, they arrived
in Denver at the Ramada Plaza by
4 p.m., checked into the hotel and
then went to Casa Bonitas for din-
ner and entertainment.
The Casa Bonita had divers,
gun fights and a small spook house
for entertainment. Kyle Manke
said The food was delicious, and
the divers were really cool. It was
fun getting to scare our classmates
and Katie Hunt in the spook house
after supper. After supper the
class traveled to the Flat Iron
Crossings Mall, where they took a
class trip up and down the escala-
tors and then went shopping for
new shoes and clothes. They then
headed back to the motel for a
refreshing swim. Many kids sat in
the hot tub or the sauna, while the
brave got into the ice cold pool.
After swimming, the students
watched movies and hung out with
friends until all hours of the night.
Friday morning came sooner
than expected after a sleepless
night, but after breakfast at the
hotel, they headed out for the Den-
ver Zoo to see some exotic animals.
Emiley Nies tried to get herself
attacked by an orange monkey
when she took a picture of it, when
it started to freak out and scream
at her.
After the zoo, the class ate
lunch at Dave and Busters, where
they played games for the after-
noon to earn tickets to win prizes.
Gus Volmer won a giant giraffe;
Ryan Kirscher won a pair of head
phones, while the rest of the class
got stuffed animals and other
small trinkets. Later they went to
Adams Mystery Playhouse for
Paranormal Murder, which was a
mystery involving the crowd to be
characters for witnesses and vote
on who they thought was the mur-
derer. Kyle Manke got to be a doc-
tor who discovered how the man
was killed. The students voted on
who was the murderer and one of
the senior tables named Team
Jacob was the only table to guess
right. They received refrigerator
magnets as their prizes. Once the
play was over the class went Cos-
mic bowling, Wyatt Hespe chal-
lenged Katie Hunt to find out how
good of a bowler she was. She even
out bowled him with her left hand.
Bowling concluded the evening
before going back to the hotel to
attempt to get some sleep.
Saturday brought Elitch Gar-
dens, where only the few brave
students rode the Mind Eraser
roller coaster, Tower of Doom and
other thrilling rides. Even the
bravest five students, Janna
Glaze, Melissa Montoya, Paige
Venard, Philip Mathews and Josh
Daum took the challenge of doing
the XLR8R, where they were
taken 150 feet up into the air and
then dropped to free fall, hang
glide, and experience the feeling of
sky diving.
During the evening the class
went to a Colorado Rockies vs. the
Tampa Bay Rays baseball game,
where they witnessed a new play-
er hit his first ever grand slam and
double his RBIs in one hit. They
even got to catch a few balls that
the players threw into the crowd
before the game. Philip Mathews
said, The baseball game was my
favorite activity; we had perfect
seats right down the foul line of
first base, only three rows up from
the field. After the Rockies won,
the class went back for an eventful
night of swimming and hanging
out on the last night as a class.
Sunday morning brought the
dreaded long trip home, leaving at
9 a.m. and arriving in Murdo
around 5:30 p.m. Becky Bryan
said, I had a lot of fun; it made me
realize how much I am going to
miss my class next year when we
go our separate ways.
Kyle Manke said, It was the
funnest trip of my life, and we
found out that it is almost impossi-
ble to wake up Ryan Kirscher
when he is asleep.
Tower of Doom Riders Melissa Montoya and Nicki Kell get
ready to scream.

Manke interacts with Detec-
tive Sherlock Holmes.

Greenseth wins three first-
places at Special Olympics
By Janna Glaze
After being postponed in April
due to too much snow, the Special
Olympics were held on Wednes-
day, May 1. This brought much
excitement for freshman Colleen
Greenseth as she traveled to Mis-
sion with her parents, Pastor and
Patti Greenseth, and Coach Bev
Ball.
They got there in time for the
opening ceremonies and then
Colleen participated in her three
events: 50 meter dash, tennis ball
throw and long jump. She had
been practicing her running,
throwing and jumping with the
track kids during practice each
day after school. After a long day
of working hard, Colleen came
home with three first place rib-
bons.
Special Olympics contributes to
the physical, social and psycholog-
ical development of people with
intellectual disabilities. Successful
experiences in sports help athletes
gain confidence and build a posi-
tive self-image associated with
success.
First place Ribbon winner Colleen Greenseth stands in
first place at the Olympics in Mission.
Weather cooperatestrack team
finally gets to compete at some meets
By Becky Bryan
After having long practices out-
side in the cold snow, the weather
finally brightened up and allowed
the track team to attend a track
meet on Thursday, April 25, in
Kadoka along with six other
schools: Wall, Kadoka, Philip,
Lyman, New Underwood, and
Bennett County.
This track meet was randomly
made because of all the canceled
meets, so there were no medals or
ribbons, but it showed who will be
the competition at the conference
meet. On Saturday, April 26, the
track team competed at Lake
Andes in the blistering heat. Mon-
day, April 29, the junior high track
team attended a track meet in
Kadoka. Tuesday, April 30, the
high school track team went to
Miller to participate. Friday,
March 3, the junior high attended
Lymans track meet. On Tuesday,
May 7, the high school team went
to a big meet in Miller along with
AA schools JV teams, A
schools, and B schools. The hard
work has paid off, resulting in lots
of medals and close qualifying
times and distances.

Daum has lunch with Gov.
Daugaard, other top students
By Nicki Kell
Josh Daum was rewarded as
valedictorian of the senior class by
having lunch with Governor Den-
nis Daugaard on April 29. Josh
and his parents traveled to Pierre
to be greeted by many other stu-
dents and their parents that had
been invited as well. Mrs. Daum
saw one of her friends that she
went to college with and coinciden-
tally, her friends son was also
going into engineering and attend-
ing SDSU.
The governors main message
was about how parents play such
an important role in their chil-
drens educations. Both of Dau-
gaards parents were born deaf
and he admired them for attend-
ing all of his activities even though
they couldnt hear the concerts or
presentations.
While enjoying their delicious
ham, baked potatoes, beans and
chocolate cake with whipped
cream and strawberries, Josh and
his family enjoyed the entertain-
ment from another school, the
Colome Consolidated High School
Choir.
Each student was recognized as
an Academic Excellence Honoree.
All in all, Josh said, It was a good
experience and I am glad I got to
go. I got to take a picture with the
governor!
Talented students take home superiors
from annual music contest in Philip
By Nicki Kell
On April 26, the middle school
and junior high headed to Philip
for a day of performing and a little
bit of fun. The students have been
practicing all year for this music
contest where they sing or play an
instrument in front of a judge to
see what rating they are given.
This year quite a few were award-
ed with superior plus ratings,
which is the highest rating you can
receive. Wallace Cook, Jake Dowl-
ing, and Kade Brost received them
for their vocal solos, Emily Flynn
and Ali Kell on their alto saxo-
phone solos, and Jaden Eagle Bear
for his trumpet solo.
The following students present-
ed piano solos, but we had no rat-
ings for them: Troi Valburg, Ali
Kell, Jami Addison, Lilli Moore,
Madelyn Host.
The following received Vocal
Superiors in Groups: 6th boys, 5th
mixed, boys duet Jake Dowling
and Riley Rankin, 8th girls, 5th
girls, girls duet Sloan Benedict
and Peige Springer, 6th girls.
The following received Superi-
ors for vocal solos: Robert Kaess-
man, Jacob Birkeland, Robert
Manecke, Leroy Gross, Wallace

Springer and Emily Flynn, Savan-
nah Krogman and Emily Flynn,
Savannah Krogman and MacKen-
zie Springer; 7th girls group;
Solos: Jacob Jolley, Savannah
Krogman.
The playground created a place
for kids to hang out in between
performances. Ali Kell said, The
funnest part of the whole day was
teeter-tottering with Bailey on the
playground and when she almost
fell off. Although it was a long and
tiring day, Mrs. Comp said, It was
a very good day and all the stu-
dents played well.
If we missed anyones name or
rating, we apologize.
Music department ends year
with harmony, energy, fun time
If you were unfortunate enough
to miss the junior high and high
school music concert on Thursday
night, May 9, you missed an oppor-
tunity to hear and see the musical
talents of JC students showcased
in a moving and melodious per-
formance. Rose Comp and Tamara
Mathews took charge of the direct-
ing while Marilyn Iverson and
Diane Bork fulfilled accompanying
duties.
To start the evening, the junior
high choir did Splish Splash with
vim and then did a tribute to
America with A Patriotic Festi-
val which featured a medley of
several American favorites.
The group then divided and the
seventh grade girls put everyone
in a dreamy mood with Make
Your Dreams Come True followed
by a rousing Cripple Creek. That
led to an all-time favorite The
Rose sung by the eighth grade
girls.
High schoolers then took over
the risers for Closer to the Flame
and Homeward Bound, both of
which had a great blend and bal-
anced sound from all sections. The
ladies took over next and sang the
soft and gentle Boy Blue before
the rousing Bye Bye Blackbird.
Madi Mathews, Nicki Kell,
Melyssa Manecke, Carol Drayer,
Tana Volmer, Alexis Hullinger and
Calli Glaze joined their talents on
Stay, followed by Becky Bryan
and Nicki Kell singing A Stary
Night as a duet. Not to be out-
done, Tristan Grablander, Josh
Daum and Travis Grablander
joined voices on Why We Sing, a
moving tribute to the creation of
music.
Forming a big semi-circle, the
Jazz Choir joined the musical pro-
duction with Jazz Talkin, which
featured Travis Grablander, Becky
Bryan and Carole Benda providing
some scat, No One Knows Who I
Am and Just the Way You Are
(Amazing) which featured soloists
Skyler Miller and Josh Daum.
The JC Concert Band then took
over the program and closed out
the evening with Majestia and
Grand Galop (Circus March), two
numbers which filled the auditori-
um with great sounds. Seniors had
chosen postludes Louie, Rockin
Robin and Hound Dog to round
out their careers, but Becky Bryan
asked to play Wipeout one last
time which the band did with
vigor. Director Comp had joined
the band with her sax to play with
the group one last time during the
year. Tired by that point, Director
Comp called it a night, and
thanked everyone for coming.
Ready to perform Junior high choir members train their
eyes and thoughts on performing for the spring concert last Thurs-
day.

Grablander present "Why We Sing."
What Happened to my Winter
Wheat?
Winter wheat is said to have
nine lives. While winter wheat has
repeatedly proven its toughness,
the 2012-13 season has provided
exceptional challenges.
Many producers chose to plant
the crop into dry or marginally soil
in the fall of 2012, hoping for rain.
In many cases, the rains did not
come and the crop went into the
winter without germinating. Some
fields suffered wind erosion, seal-
ing the crops fate. In other cases,
moisture came in the form of snow
and/or rain. Some locations
received just enough moisture to
mold the seed; others enough to
germinate and get it started grow-
ing. In some areas, both scenarios
occurred, with the difference being
the amount of surface residue on
the field and how much snow was
trapped.
When the snow melted, most of
us fully expected the wheat to take
off and grow. Of course the crop
faced another challenge as air
temperatures, and consequently,
soil temperatures stayed cold for
an extended period of time.
Under good growing conditions,
the wheat seed will send out the
main root, followed by several
seminal roots, and then the coleop-
tile, which is a leaf sheath that
encloses and protects the embry-
onic plant. The coleoptile contin-
ues to grow, and when it emerges
from the soil, stops, and the first
true leaf pushes through the tip.
Leaves are then produced at a rate
of about one every 4-5 days. At the
3 leaf stage, several important
changes occur. The crown is devel-
oped, the first tiller is developed,
and the secondary root system is
initiated.
In the spring of 2013, these ten-
der young plants were subjected to
multiple stresses, long periods of
cold soils, slow growth, and mar-
ginal moisture conditions. During
the entire time, the plant is respir-
ing and using energy reserves
from the seed as it is unable to
generate its own energy from pho-
tosynthesis until it has some green
leaf tissue above ground. Seeds
that were planted very shallow
into no-till seedbeds and seeds
planted into fields that suffered
wind erosion may have tried, or
are still trying to send secondary
roots into a duff layer or dry soil
and unable to thrive.
Each tiller relies on its own
adventitious (secondary) root sys-
tem, and the plant gradually
becomes more dependent on the
adventitious root system as it
develops to become the predomi-
nant root mass. If the plant under-
goes stresses during its develop-
ment, it will respond by producing
fewer tillers or by aborting tillers.
Lost tillers can often be traced
back to stresses the plant was sub-
jected to. Late developing tillers
contribute little to overall yield,
and tillers that emerge after the
fifth main shoot leaf are likely to
abort or not produce heads.
If your wheat crop has a reason-
able stand, is developing second-
ary roots and viable tillers, it has a
chance of producing a respectable
amount of grain if soil moisture
isnt severely limiting. The
remaining hindrance to yield will
be the inherent lateness in maturi-
ty, and the risk of high tempera-
tures that are likely to occur in
late June and early July when the
grain fill period will be taking
place.

Golf season finally gets into full
swing with cooperating weather
By Gus Volmer
The Jones County golf team
traveled to Philip on April 25. The
golf team included: Wyatt Weber,
Travis Grablander, Wyatt Walker,
Philip Mathews, Madison Math-
ews and Tana Volmer. Wyatt
Weber who golfed a 43 in the front
nine and a 38 in the back nine,
ended the day with an 81 and
grabbed third place in the Philip
Invitational. Coach Gittings said,
We were finally able to get back
on the course after a three week
layoff due to the weather.
The golf team traveled to Philip
for the Western Great Plains Con-
ference meet on April 27. Even
though the team had only limited
numbers, they still did pretty well
in the standings. Junior Travis
Grablander just missed the dead
line and golfed a 101. Sophomore
Wyatt Weber has been consistent
this year with low 80s and high
70s and golfed an 82 and got the
fourth place medal at the meet.
Karlee & Lonna would like to
thank the Coyote Call staff and
adviser for all their hard work
this year! Enjoy your summer!!

PUBLIC NOTICES IN YOUR NEWSPAPER ...
Whether its school board minutes, election ballots or property tax notices, keeping
you informed about the business of local government is what public notices are all
about. Statewide surveys show that South Dakotans strongly support the publication of
government public notices in newspapers such as this one. Yet, special interest lobbyists
in Pierre want to eliminate this important government information. What can you do?
Tell your legislators you support the publication of government public notices in
newspapers because it is the most effective, efcient way to help keep you informed.

Social Security celebrates Mothers Day
Q: How do I get a Social Securi-
ty number for my newborn?
A: A very easy and popular
method used by many new parents
is the voluntary Enumeration at
Birth (EAB) process. Enumeration
at Birth starts while still at the
hospital. Using it, the state agency
that issues birth certificates sends
the child's birth registration infor-
mation directly to the Social Secu-
rity Administration. Without any
additional paperwork, a social
Security number (SSN) is issued to
the child and the card mailed to
the parents.
If not using Enumeration at
Birth, parents must wait for the
newborns official birth certificate
to be issued. Then they can com-
plete a Social Security number
application and provide it, the
birth certificate and their own ID
documents to Social Security. The
application and specific details are
at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/
ssnumber/. Using Enumeration at
Birth is convenient for parents.
Whether automatically through
the Enumeration at Birth pro-
gram, or by completing a Social
Security number application and
providing evidence to a local SSA
office, no fee is involved. Social
Security does not charge for SSN
activity, whether a new number,
changing your name, or replacing
a lost card. Make sure you are at
the official Social Security web-
site,www.socialsecurity.gov, and
not a private site. Look for .gov
(government).
Did you know? Annually near
Mothers Day, Social Security pub-
lishes the most popular baby
names in the United States for the
previous year. Based on Social
Security number applications,
learn the popular baby names for
2012 at the SSA website,www.
socialsecurity.gov. Learn the most
popular names in each State and
see how the popularity of a given
name changes over time. Nation-
ally for 2012, the five most popular
female names are Sophia, Emma,
Isabella, Olivia and Ava with the
most popular male names being
Jacob, Mason, Ethan, Noah and
William. When visiting the baby
names pages, also learn about
Social Security benefits for chil-
dren. How popular is your name?

South Dakota Drought Tool
indicates some improvement
The South Dakota NRCS is
employing its grazing land
drought tool to monitor developing
rangeland drought conditions
across the state. The tool evalu-
ates precipitation data over a 24-
month period to compare expected
peak grassland productivity to
what is produced in a normal year.
In South Dakota peak grassland
productivity can usually be deter-
mined by the first part of July.
Information provided by the South
Dakota drought tool can be used to
easily modify grazing plans to
account for the effects of grassland
drought. The tool can automatical-
ly evaluate drought conditions
using established weather station
precipitation data, or precipitation
data collected from a specific farm
or ranch can be manually entered.
The drought tool can help answer
questions such as when and how
much precipitation do we need to
get back to normal conditions?
What can I expect grassland condi-
tions to be like if conditions
improve this spring and we start
to get back to normal? If things
dont improve, how will my grazing
land be impacted?
Grassland drought is most
affected by soil moisture and pre-
cipitation timing and amounts.
Precipitation received in April,
May, and June is the most critical
to this years grassland produc-
tion, however last falls moisture is
important too.
The previous years growing
conditions also has an impact, and
soil moisture deficits in 2012 are
reflected in current drought tool
results. By evaluating the percent
of normal forage expected to be
produced, farmers and ranchers
can make decisions and adjust-
ments to their operation early in
the growing season. Ensuring a
healthy reserve and diversity of
forage enables optimal grassland
infiltration and soil moisture yield
and retention.

SECOND PLACE
Trees
by Riannon Thin Elk
I think trees are important for
the planet because it gives us oxy-
gen, moist, paper, firewood, and a
home for animals. Trees can give
our planet a lot of great things.
Trees give us shade when we
want to sit under to read a book or
write in your journal. Trees can
also be a great thing to build a tree
house. It could also be a great
place just to you know hang out, or
to climb or sit on the branches.
Because of the wood and bark on
the trees they are great to build
cabin houses.
Trees look beautiful in the
spring and summer time. Espe-
cially after it rains you could just
see the beautiful green wet leaves.
After it rains you could go out-
side and smell the moist on the
trunk on the trees, it smells good.
I love trees, because of all the won-
derful things they could give us,
and what they can do.

the afternoon celebration.
Stephanie Miller-Davis grew up
in Murdo. Throughout her life, she
continued to give back to her home
town. She donated books and all of
the book shelves that are in the
school library in order to provide
the children with the books that
she always longed for as a child.
She also founded and donated the
resources needed to start Dolly
Partons Imaginary Library in
Jones County, a program that
mails every child under the age of
five one book per month.
Miller-Davis lost her battle with
cancer in 2010, so in honor of
Stephanie, the school district dedi-
cates one day each year to the
remembrance of her generosity to
her community.
In addition to reading, teachers
also performed a musical selection
about going to the library and Lor-
rie Esmay read a poem about read-
ing. Dr. John Davis, Stephanies
husband, said a few words about
the importance of reading to his
late wife.
The Clinical View
Dr. P.E. Hoffsten
NEW INFORMATION ABOUT
FISH OIL
Beginning in the 1970s, it was
noted that the Inuit Eskimos in
Greenland and Alaska had choles-
terol values near 1000 milligrams
percent. Note this is five times the
recommended maximum blood
level of 200 milligrams percent for
the standard American western
diet. Yet these Eskimos rarely had
heart attacks like USA citizens do.
Studies were begun at that time
to determine the cause of the dif-
ference in the two populations. It
was noted that the Inuit Eskimo
diet was very rich in seal and
whale blubber along with fatty
fish such as sardines and Alaskan
salmon. The oils from these
dietary sources were analyzed and
two major ingredients were found.
One of these was called eicosapen-
taenoic acid (EPA). The other was
called docosapentaenoic acid
(DPA). These became the backbone
of what subsequently has been
called omega-3 fatty acids. A host
of studies were begun in the 1980s.
One epidemiologic fact noted was
that individuals who ate large
amounts of salmon and sardines
had a lower rate of heart attack
and stroke than those who did not
eat such foods. That observation
has been confirmed in several
studies and seems at this point to
be irrefutable. Specifically, a high
oily fish diet decreases the rate of
heart attack and stroke in the gen-
eral population.
But this observation generated
more questions than answers.
Specifically, there are multiple
sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
Natures original source appears
to be krill oil from the tiny sea
shrimp-like creature, fish use as a
diet source. Note fish themselves
cannot make omega-3 fatty acids.
Krill oil is a product recently on
the market but without quality -
controlled- specific amounts of
EPA and DPA. Krill oil is still in
the status of a dietary supplement
and there are no controls on purity
and no demonstrated effects to
prevent heart attack or stroke
incidence.
The next source of omega-3
fatty acids is fish oil. This too is a
dietary supplement. There is no
standardized dose of DPA or EPA
in fish oil. The obvious question is
whether or not krill oil or fish oil
taken as a supplement have a
demonstrated impact on heart
attack or stroke rates. To this
time, the data is conflicting but
there is no documented beneficial
effects showing that fish oil or krill
oil prevent heart attack or stroke.
A third way of supplementing
omega-3 fatty acids independent of
eating fish is the use of a product
called Lovaza. This is a very
expensive pure DPA and EPA
source. Each capsule is guaran-
teed to have 920 milligrams of
EPA and DPA. The presence of
mercury or lead or other toxic
heavy metals have been purified
out of Lovaza.
In spite of this being a prescrip-
tion medication, its only FDA
approved function is to lower
triglyceride levels in people with
hypertriglyceridemia. And yet,
somehow this product has been
pushed as a preventive for heart
attack and stroke. To this time,
there is no data showing that
Lovaza stops heart attacks or
strokes in people who have already
had one heart attack or a stroke or
in people who never had any heart
attack or stroke.
So the question boils down to,
where is the data showing that
supplements of omega-3 fatty
acids, as opposed to normal food
sources, will also prevent heart
attack and stroke. This month, an
article in the Annals of Internal
Medicine for the April 2nd issue,
publishes the first article I am
aware of with definitive informa-
tion stating that omega-3 fatty
acids actually measured in the
blood are associated with a
decreased rate of heart attack and
sudden death. The authors actual-
ly measured the amount of omega-
3 fatty acids in the blood samples
from 5,000 individuals and then
followed those individuals for the
last 22 years. There was very
clearly a highly beneficial effect on
a decrease of heart attack and
stroke in the population studied.
The blood levels of omega-3
fatty acids are highly variable
from one individual to the next
and very clearly those individuals
with the highest blood levels were
protected from heart attack,
stroke and sudden death. The
study in the Annals of Internal
Medicine did not endorse any
given source of omega-3 fatty acids
but rather proved that the higher
the blood level from any source the
more protective effect for the gen-
eral public.
The best source of omega-3 fatty
acids for the general population is
still being debated. Thus far only
salt water fish as a natural food
source has a demonstrated life-
saving effect.

that old city before making the
journey back. We tied up at a pier,
ate at a sidewalk caf, strolled
around here and there, and
played tourist somewhat. It was
fun. The one thing I didnt enjoy
about boating was constantly hav-
ing to wipe salt water off my
glasses since that is sticky stuff
and hard to remove. Flying over
the water is simply going to kick
up sea spray and some will land
on your lenses.
After a time, though, hauling
the boat to water, getting it in and
out, and messing with it lost some
of its charm. It got to be a little
more like work than pleasure.
What really put the damper on it
was when our ship was scheduled
to go on a shakedown cruise to
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Back in
Florida, the captain of our ship
had one day wanted to take most
of us officers for a cruise on his
official Navy runabout that was
always carried on the ship. It was-
nt quite big enough for everyone
so he asked me to take my boat as
well. That was fine. We had a nice
afternoon and picnic. Then, when
we were headed to Cuba, he, for
some odd reason, wanted me to
take my boat along on the ship
down there. I suspect this was
strictly against Navy regulations
to take a private boat along, but
one doesnt argue with the cap-
tain. I somehow managed to get a
crane to load my little boat, and
the boatswains stored it in a
hanger on deck.
In Cuba, of course, we had to
unload it right away so it wouldnt
get in the way (or probably be
noticed by officers that were sen-
ior to my captain.) In that tropical
water, as you can imagine, it grew
barnacles practically overnight
because there was no place to
store it on land. It had to be kept
afloat. We did use it once or twice
since there was precious little to
do on that tiny heavily-fortified
base, but mostly it just sat there
for six weeks or so. At the end of
that time, I was thoroughly tired
of the whole business. I didnt
want to bother finding a crane
again at both ends so I was quite
pleased when an officer stationed
permanently in Cuba offered to
buy the sucker. An agreement was
reached in jig time. He could deal
with the barnacles, the sea spray
on his glasses, and all the rest. I
was done.
At the same time that I had the
boat, I also had a small motorcycle
(Sears brand) and a little pull-
type travel trailer (Swinger
brand.) I enjoyed those too for a
time, but guess what. I dont need
them anymore either although the
motorcycle still sits in the garage.
It hasnt been used for quite a
number of years, and I dont even
know if it could be talked into run-
ning again. At this point, Im not
much interested in finding out.
So, there you have several
things I dont really need in my
life right now. There are quite a
few others. I do, of course, need
several computers and a few
pianos (dont ask how many I have
of each of those.) It is also nice to
have a reliable pickup and maybe
a small four-wheeler. There are
more things I like to have around
as well, but, with many others,
Been there. Done that. Dont
need them anymore. Experience
is a good teacher. Uncluttered
simplicity has quite a bit going for
it.
There are a whole lot of things
in life you simply do not need. You
might think you do, but you really
dont. Whats more, as you get
older, more things prove them-
selves to be items you can happily
live without. Take motorboats, for
example. At the moment, I have
no need for one whatsoever.
This, however, was not always
the case. When I was stationed at
Mayport, Florida in the Navy
some years ago, I was pretty sure
I badly needed a motorboat. It
seemed just the thing. As a result,
I scoured the boat yards until I
came across a small used one that
I could afford. It had a used motor
as well, but it was strong enough
to pull a water skier if I wanted to
do that. Naturally, I had to buy a
boat trailer as well, but that was
no big deal.
Well, for a time, running up and
down the intercoastal waterway
was fairly enjoyable. Sure, it took
some doing to get the awkward
old thing into the water and
revved up, but then you could
skim across the water quite nicely.
I recall one fine Saturday when a
fellow officer from the ship and I
cruised the 25 to 30 miles from
Mayport down to St. Augustine
and rather enjoyed poking around

Statewide reading challenge aims
to curb summer learning loss
The South Dakota Department
of Education is kicking off the
Read South Dakota! Summer
Reading Challenge, as schools are
nearing the summer break.
Students who dont practice
reading during the summer
months lose valuable skills and
may start off the next school year
below the level they were previ-
ously at, said Secretary of Educa-
tion Dr. Melody Schopp. Its a
phenomenon that we call summer
slide, and it is especially notice-
able with our youngest readers.
According to Schopp, the Read
South Dakota! Challenge is
unique because it promotes the
reading of engaging material at a
skill level appropriate for each
child, rather than focus on reading
a certain number of books.
By entering information about a
childs reading level and interests
into an online tool called Find a
Book, parents and librarians can
help children create customized
reading lists with challenging
titles.
Research shows that students
who are reading at grade-level by
the end of third grade are more
likely to achieve future academic
and career success, Schopp
explained. The state Department
of Education is focusing on helping
young students reach that critical
milestone, she said.

resentative from Murdo.
The auxiliary read the letter
from Benda and was impressed
with her knowledge and perspec-
tive of our country. Girls State is
held in June each year at the Uni-
versity of South Dakota in Vermil-
lion. Sessions are held that stress
patriotism, flag etiquette and how
to properly fold our flag. Quite
often John Thune, or one of the
representatives, will be there to
talk to the girls about the political
process and help them better
understand the workings of gov-
ernment.
A memorial was sent to the fam-
ily of John Geisler along with
deepest sympathies.
The Memorial Day program is
in the works. Flags will be put up,
weather permitting, at 7 a.m. and
taken down at 5 p.m. on Memorial
day. The Jones County 4-H will
help. All others who would like to
help are certainly welcome. Con-

SD Veterans Affairs
Larry Zimmerman, Secretary of Veterans Affairs
renew their commitment to pay
any price, to bear any burden, so
that we might be free.
Our records reflect South Dako-
ta military casualties by wartime
period were: World War I 1,017;
World War II 1,599; Korean
186; Vietnam 210; and Gulf War
37.
Let us all pause this Memorial
Day to reflect on these men and
women of selfless devotion. Let us
all be reminded that the freedom
we enjoy comes at a tremendous
price. Veterans service organiza-
tions and community leaders
throughout this great state host
hundreds of Memorial Day servic-
es. Let us all attend one of these
programs and show respect to
those that gave all, and those that
served and those that are serving
in Harms Way.
In the words of Lee Greenwood:
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who
died, who gave that right to me.
At the South Dakota Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs, we
embrace the meaning of these
words, and on this Memorial Day
we not only remember our fallen
heroes and their families, but we
recommit ourselves to be the voice
for South Dakotas 74,000 veter-
ans living, working and contribut-
ing to our society today. As
always, veterans are encouraged
to visit our website (http://mva
.sd.gov/default.html) or visit their
local County or Tribal Veterans
Service Officer.
Memorial Day was born of com-
passion and empathy for those
who courageously gave their lives
to safeguard us and our way of
life.
Let us all pause this Memorial
Day to remember great and brave
Americans to recognize their
valor and applaud the blessings
their bravery has secured.
Throughout our nations history,
the freedoms we enjoy have been
won and protected by an elite
group who understand the great-
est and most selfless love. The
men and women of our armed
forces risk the ultimate sacrifice
to protect fellow Americans and
citizens of the world from tyranny
and oppression. Every time they
put on the uniform, these heroes
