but they also qualified for the NASP
World Championships.
Both boys had to get first place at the
state level to be able to move on to the
national competition held in Louisville,
Kentucky, which they did. Jacob has
had back-to-back first place finishes
and Matthew had to get special permission to even compete because of his
young age. They are both the only kids
in their state divisions to make it is far
as they did. At the state competition
Matthew scored 269 and Jacob scored
280 out of a perfect 300.
Five kids including siblings Cody and
Katy Manke and Trey and Emily Flynn
along with Zach Hespe had the honor of
attending conservation camp with Mike
McKernan this summer at Camp Bob
Marshal. At camp they learned about a
range of subjects and got to do a ton of
fun activities. Emily Flynn said, It was
one of the best weeks of my life.

by Tami Jo Newbold-Flynn
This summer many area kids stayed
busy by working and vacationing, but
many also had several camps and competitions they went to. Some even had
performances to give.
Tristan Grablander was one of only
150 South Dakota high school choir
members, out of the 800 that tried out,
to be chosen to receive the honor of
going to Augustana College and perform a concert.
Grablander said, It was a really fun
experience. One of the main reasons he
thought that it was a fun experience
was because everyone else there, like
him, was extremely interested in music
so that made the performance sound really amazing.
Siblings Jacob and Matthew Birkeland also had some amazing summer
happenings as they both qualified not
only for the NASP (National Archery in

Professor of Law
Trial by Jury
The right to trial by jury is recognized in the U.S. Constitution and the
South Dakota Constitution. The right
exists for both criminal and civil trials,
but there are nuances for each.
Criminal Cases
In a criminal setting, the right to
jury trial is automatic. A defendant
cannot be deprived of a jury trial unless he or she specifically waives it.
The verdict in a criminal case must be
reached unanimously by all 12 jurors.
If the jury is unable to reach a verdict,
a mistrial is declared and the case may
be retried, at the option of the state (or
federal government, if in federal court).
These characteristics of the right to
jury trial apply in both South Dakota
state and federal court.
Civil Cases
Both plaintiffs and defendants are
guaranteed a right to jury trial in most
civil cases. The right to a jury trial may
be lost or waived, however, if a party
does not affirmatively demand trial by
jury. Unlike the criminal setting, nonaction by a party may result in the denial of a jury trial in a civil case. Both
South Dakota state court rules and
federal court rules require parties to
make a prompt written demand for
trial by jury. If not made, the right is
waived.
In federal court, the verdict of the
jury in a civil case must be unanimous.
In South Dakota state court, however,
the verdict of the jury in a civil case requires only that 10 out of 12 jurors
agree.
There are some situations, mainly
due to historical treatment at common
law, where a jury trial is not guaranteed. Generally speaking the right to
jury trial in a civil case has been preserved only in the same types of cases
where the right to jury trial existed in
1791 when the 7th Amendment was
adopted. The most common examples
of civil cases lacking a right to jury
trial are in situations where only equitable relief is sought. Modern day examples of equitable relief include suits
for specific performance, rescission,
reformation, and injunctions.

hippies plus for the benefit Sat-

urday afternoon for John Strait

came and went and then repeated
but the crowd stayed. A bake sale
was held, plus lots of goodies to
eat. With Bill Eckert doing the
calling, an auction was held.
There was a lot of articles, lots of
baked ones one pie went for
$100 do hope it was good. And as
many know Judy Iversen, she
kept things upbeat! There were
many there from near and far.
One of the highlights was when
John sat on a stool and Sherry
gave him a haircut. His grandson
also helped shear him. Im
guessing its been a long time
since Johns hair was that short.
There were lots of peace signs decorating the park. Later a band set
up to play but as Nelva and Janet
left, it was starting to sprinkle and
they were preparing to move the
band under a tent. All in all the

good job bringing it together.

Yard of the Week

Syd Iwan
My dad must have been a diligent man, or at least he was according to Solomon. King
Solomon wrote, A lazy man wont
even dress the game he gets while
hunting, but the diligent man
makes good use of everything he
finds. Dad, in fact, was heavily
into recycling way before it was
fashionable. Even today, close to
thirty years after his death, you
can still see evidence of his ability
to find a useful purpose for whatever he had. Gates are a case in
point.
In the barn and corral, there
are countless gates that Papa put
together from scrap lumber left
over from other projects. Those
are somewhat interesting to observe, but even more fascinating
are the multitude of gate fasteners in use. They might be wooden
or metal, they might slide back
and forth, or a bolt or other piece
of metal might have to slide into a
slot or be hanging from a chain for
poking into a hole. When Dad
made a new gate, you might have
to study it just a bit before deciding how to work the fastener to
get through. The barn, for instance, has about four gates and
eleven doors. Three doors have
latches that were purchased for
closure, but the rest are originals
of some sort or other. One is a
simple chain that goes over a nail,
but the rest are all unique and
different.
Oddly enough, when you go to
our river place, you come across
the same sort of thing when going
through gates and doors, but
those arent Dads work. Those

are Teds. The process must be

contagious or taught by example.
Im not sure, but the outcome is
the same. You have to look a bit
before deciding how they work.
Ted, at this point, has been on the
place about as long as Dad was so
there are many examples of his
handiwork too.
Dad, of course, lived through
the depression of the Dirty Thirties and also the rationing of the
Second World War. Both promoted recycling and getting by
with what you have. Such experiences are apt to cause you to save
everything even after the complete necessity for it is no longer
there.
What is more, being raised by
such a person is apt to instill similar qualities in the offspring. My
recycling ability is not quite up to
that of my parents, but it pops out
now and then. I certainly have a
hefty stock of stuff lying around
that I may never find a good use
for, but then on the other hand I
might. You just never know.
I have even been known to recycle paper. If I print something
on paper with the computer and
then cut off the small printed
part, I save the remainder for
notes and so on. There are various
sizes of leftover paper here
around me as I write. Neither do
I ever throw away a paper towel
until I have put it to very good
use. This can be aggravating to
my spouse who finds it somewhat
tacky to have paper towels lying
about here and there. As a result,
I tend to hide my partially-used
towels. Sometimes, just for kicks

and after having used a paper

towel to the full extent of its usefulness, I just let it lie on the
counter. Then I lay bets as to how
long it will stay there after wife
Corinne spies it. Not long, as a
general rule, but it varies.
Corinne isnt generally wasteful
either, but she does value tidiness.
The kitchen can be a particular
challenge in getting the full use
out of everything. Take those
nifty plastic containers that sliced
meat comes in. I currently have a
larger stock of the silly things
then I could ever conceivably use.
Oh, wait. They could be terribly
handy for freezing garden produce. Maybe Id better plant a big
garden next year so I can utilize
them in freezing beans, beets,
peas and corn. Id better not
throw them out just yet. Next
year might be a banner year for
raising veggies. I do occasionally
throw out a used Cool-Whip container, but only after Ive used it
several times, as a general rule.
One drawback to saving lots of
things just in case is that you
can easily get inundated with
stuff. Occasionally you have to
bite the bullet and throw items
away that are completely unnecessary. Its hard. It may almost
break your heart, but sometimes
you simply have to do it. Perhaps
when I empty that plastic container of sliced turkey today, Ill
just go wild and throw it away.
Maybe I will. Maybe I wont. Only
time will tell. After all, I do want
to be the kind of diligent person
Solomon would appreciate.

Then I Understood
The man, Asaph, was a choir
leader in the days of King David
in Israel. Although he lived in a
world of music as an inspired
composer and prophet, he shared
the common experiences of all
men. He was born to trouble, as
the sparks fly upward (Job 5:7).
He saw what we see today. The
ungodly around him did not appear to suffer as much as did the
LORDs people. But Asaph went
to his GOD about the problem,
and after he had received Divine
illumination, he wrote an entire
psalm about it.
Envy had entered his heart because of the prosperity of the
wicked (Psalm 73:3). He wrote,
They are not in trouble as other
men: neither are they plagued
like other men . . . they have
more than heart could wish . . .
who prosper in the world: they
increase in riches (vv.5-12).
Had Asaph cleansed his heart
in vain by bringing the blood of

the appointed sacrifice? Why

were the ungodly better off than
he was? All the day long he had
been plagued; he was chastened
every morning.
What was the answer? It
would not do to complain about
his own particular afflictions, for
this would offend other believers
(v.15). The entire matter was too
painful, too difficult for him, and
so he went into the temple to
commune with his LORD about
it. Something wonderful happened there. He wrote, It was
too painful for me until I went
into the sanctuary of GOD: then
I understood. . . .
Here is one of the great Bible
texts for suffering saints. Understanding comes to us in the sanctuary, that is, the place of
communion with the LORD. We
are not likely to learn very much
about why we are beset by trials
until we get along with GOD
upon our knees with an open

Bible.
To Asaph, a flood of light came
when he considered the future of
the ungodly who seemed for the
moment to be so free from trouble. They stood in a slippery
place from which they might be
cast down into destruction.
Asaph, on the other hand, was
secure as a child of GOD destined for a glorious future. Instead of the secret terror of the
ungodly, he enjoyed the knowledge that he was continually in
the presence of the LORD, Who
held him by the hand. Throughout life he would be guided by Divine counsel, afterward he would
be received into glory.
Have you taken time to commune with the LORD lately? Are
you able to say with Asaph,
Then I understood? Take time
to get along with GOD. Knowing
the gloriousness of the future
makes the present troubles seen
quite insignificant.

Have you ever thought how much God has done for us in Christ?
In Romans 8:32 we read that to save us from sin, God spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up FOR US all. In Titus 2:14 we are told that
Christ gave Himself FOR US, that He might redeem us from all iniquity. In Romans 5:8 the Apostle declares that while we were yet sinners, Christ
died FOR US. Galatians 3:13 says that Christ was made a curse FOR US.
Hebrews 9:12 states that He enteredinto the holy place [the presence of the Father], having obtained eternal redemption FOR US. And if we trust
Him for this eternal redemption we may read further in Hebrews 9:24 that Christ is not entered into the holy places made with handsbut into
heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God FOR US. Romans 8:34 asks who can condemn the believer in Christ, since HE [the Lord Jesus
Christ] is now at the right hand of God and maketh intercession FOR US.
Hebrews 6:20 declares that our Lord entered the Fathers presence FOR US as our Forerunner. Hebrews 10:19,20 therefore encourages believers to come to God in prayer: Having therefore, brethren, boldness to ENTER into the holiest by the blood of Jesusa new and living way, which He
hath consecrated FOR US.
Just think how much God has done FOR US in Christ! He delivered His beloved Son to death FOR US, Christ gave Himself FOR US, died FOR
US, became a curse FOR US, intercedes FOR US, entered heaven FOR US as a Forerunner, and consecrated a new and living way into Gods presence FOR US, so that we may come boldly unto the throne of grace to obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Heb.4:16). If God be
FOR US, who can be against us (Rom.8:31)?

Anniversary wagon train 125 years of statehood

is a 17 day ride into history
The 125th Statehood Anniversary Wagon Train is an opportunity to participate in and learn
about South Dakota history.
The wagon train will begin at
the Dakota Territorial capital of
Yankton on Wednesday, September 3 and will arrive at the South
Dakota capital of Pierre on Saturday, September 20. At each
evening stop along the approximately 250-mile trip, local
landowners and historians will
present a history of that local
area. Community and civic groups
will be sponsoring many of the
evening meals and events, so people can see the wagon train up
close and visit with wagon train
participants. The wagon train is
sponsored by the South Dakota

more of their land.

What makes Fort James unique
was that it was built of stone. Fort
James is believed to be the only
military post in the United States
built entirely of stone. A natural
outcropping of quartzite granite
was located nearby. Fort James
was decommissioned after 11
months and burned to the ground
in 1868.
When Firesteel came into existence in 1874, the Fort James
Trail was extended to that community in Davison County. From
Firesteel, trails would have followed Firesteel Creek much of the
way to Fort Thompson and then
continued on from Fort Thompson
to Fort Pierre, or followed a more
direct overland route to Fort

days of travel and two days of rest.

After camping overnight in Yankton on Wednesday, September 3,
the 125th anniversary wagon
train will leave Yankton on Thursday, September 4. The route will
pass within about 10 miles of Fort
James, but will not stop there.
Overnight stops are scheduled for
Tabor, Scotland, Tripp and Ethan,
Mitchell, Plankinton, Wessington
Springs, Crow Lake, Gann Valley,
the Allen Knippling ranch, near
Macs Corner and by Krull Lodge.
The wagon train will camp at
Farm Island Recreation Area near
Pierre on Friday, September 19
and is scheduled to arrive at the
Capitol building in Pierre at noon
on Saturday, September 20.

Draft Horse and Mule Association.

The route of the wagon train
route is intended to commemorate
historic trails. The route from
Yankton to Mitchell will be near
what was called the Fort James
Trail, according to wagon master
Gerald Kessler of Fort Pierre.
Listed on the National Register of
Historic Sites, Fort James was located near what is now Mitchell.
The fort was probably named for
the nearby James River. It was
one of a series of forts built to protect settlers after the Dakota War
of 1862, according to the television
show Time Team America, in
which a group of archaeologists
spent three days excavating the
Fort James site. The fort was built
in 1865 by the Sixth Iowa Volunteer Cavalry. The men signed up
to help fight in the Civil War, but
instead found themselves sent to
the western frontier. For the
American Indians who lived in the
area, it must have seemed like the
cavalry was riding in to take over

Pierre, according to Kessler.

The trails would have been
used primarily for hauling freight
until white people started settling
the area, Kessler said, with oxen
used to haul the freight wagons.
According to Fort Pierre-Deadwood Trail: Then & Now by
James D. Osburn, Ken R. Stewart
and Lonis R. Wendt, a freight
team usually consisted of seven or
eight yoke of oxen hitched to an
old Murphy or Kern wagon. The
load carried in the wagons generally weighed from 7,500 to 8,000
pounds.
The freight wagons were
sturdy, wide-tracked, doubleboxed vehicles with heavy iron
tires and heavy canvas covers.
Whats real neat about South
Dakota is our history is still not so
old that we cannot find tracks
from wagons or tepee rings,
Kessler said. We found ruts north
and west of Gann Valley when laying out the trail.
The 17-day trip includes 15

train, the route will be mostly on

township and county roads, in
road ditches and along undeveloped section lines. Once the wagon
train reaches the Wessington
Springs area, participants will
travel cross-country or in road
ditches near S.D. Highway 34.
Kessler said he anticipates that
more than 200 people will participate when the wagon train leaves
Yankton. About 120 people from
eight states have signed up to be
take part in the ride. They are allowed to participate in any or all
of the trail segments, so Kessler
expects the number participating
will vary throughout the ride.

Donors proud to help in publishing

Laura Ingalls Wilders Pioneer Girl
The South Dakota State Historical Society will be releasing
Laura Ingalls Wilders Pioneer
Girl: The Annotated Autobiography in November, and donors to
the project are honored to be a
part of this momentous occasion.
As long-time fans of her books,
we are proud to help bring her
story to life in new ways to inspire
generations to come, says Bobbi
Schroeppel, vice-president of
NorthWestern Energy in Sioux
Falls, a Pioneer Level donor to the
Pioneer Girl Project. Thanks to
Laura Ingalls Wilder, millions of
people have come to know and understand the pioneer spirit of
South Dakota.
In Pioneer Girl, Wilder describes 16 years of the westward
journey made by the Ingalls family. The book is a result of extensive research and study over four
years. The goal of the project was
to present Wilders original words

and provide further information to

a modern audience through annotations, maps and photographs.
Wilder utilized her original
manuscript to write a successful
childrens series, said Nancy Tystad Koupal, director of the Pioneer
Girl Project for the SDSHS Press
at the Cultural Heritage Center in
Pierre. With the release of Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography, readers will have an
opportunity to reconnect with the
people and places made famous
through her fiction, in addition to
meeting new ones.
Without the support of our
donors, like NorthWestern Energy, the publication of Wilders
work would not be possible, said
Michael Lewis, president of the
South Dakota Historical Society
Foundation, the nonprofit fundraising partner of the SDSHS.
They are helping us illuminate
the history of South Dakota and

share the story of one of our most

prominent historic figures.
Join in as we follow the real
Laura Ingalls and her family as
they make their way westand
discover that truth is as remarkable as fiction, Tystad Koupal
said.

Omnibus Enabling Act

On November 2, 1889, Dakota
Territory gave birth to two states
North Dakota and South Dakota
when President Benjamin Harrison signed two statehood proclamations.
Before signing, he instructed
Secretary of State James Blaine to
cover both proclamations under a
sheet of paper. President Harrison
signed both, and then shuffled
them again so that no one, not
even President Harrison, knew
which proclamation was signed
first.
Although President Harrison
signed South Dakota into statehood, the twin states could not
have been created without the
passage of the Omnibus Enabling
Act on February 22, 1889.
After originally opposing statehood for the Dakotas, President
Grover Cleveland signed the Enabling Act into law which provided
the process whereby six states
South Dakota, North Dakota,
Montana, Washington, Wyoming
and Idaho could become states
in 1889 and 1890.
The most recent state to have
entered the Union was Colorado
in 1876. Democrats controlled the
U.S. House of Representatives for
most of the time between 1876
and 1888, and they didnt want
new western states admitted for
fear of them sending Republican
senators and representatives to
Washington, D. C.
When pro-statehood Benjamin
Harrison won the Presidency in
November of 1888, the lame duck
Democrats passed the Enabling
Act so they could get some credit
for allowing the new states.
The act divided Dakota along

the seventh standard parallel and

required the equitable division of
the territorys records and debts.
It also required that the two new
Dakotas set aside public lands for
schools, public buildings and facilities.
On July 4, 1889, 75 delegates
from southern Dakota Territory
met in Germania Hall in Sioux
Falls and wrote a state constitution for the people to consider.
Four years earlier, Congress had
rejected a convention that attempted to declare South Dakota
as a state. The 1889 convention
used the earlier constitution as a
basis for their new proposal.
On October 1, 1889, the people
approved the constitution for the
new state of South Dakota by a
vote of 70,131 to 3,267 and elected
Dakota Territory Gov. Arthur Mellette as South Dakotas first Governor.
To assure passage, two controversial issues prohibition and
the selection of a state capital city
were not included in the proposed constitution, but were separate ballot measures. Most
Republican leaders were actively
or passively for prohibition. The
Democrats and the Sioux Falls
Argus Leader were against it,
claiming it would be a restriction
of individual freedom and impossible to enforce. Voters approved
prohibition and South Dakota was
a dry state until prohibition was
repealed in 1897.
Also on a separate vote, Peerless Pierre won the capital designation in 1889, but had to
withstand two fierce challenges on
the ballot from Huron in 1890 and
Mitchell in 1904. Pierre won with
expensive advertising campaigns.

It took the city over 30 years to

pay off its capital city fight debts
of almost $500,000.
South Dakotans struggled for
many years before statehood became a reality. Over 40 bills had
been introduced into Congress between 1871 and 1889 concerning
statehood and the division of
Dakota Territory. They all failed.
But, the people persevered.
They didnt quit. When statehood
was realized, it didnt matter to
them which proclamation was
signed first.

Dakota State University Professor
Emeritus John E. Miller for his
statehood research included in this

President Harrisons Statehood Pen On Display in Pierre
After signing proclamations to
create the states of South Dakota
and North Dakota on November 2,
1889, President Benjamin Harrison handed the pen he used to a
land agent named John Martin
Ruggles.
In 1890, the Ruggles family
moved to Superior, Wisconsin.
When John Martin Ruggles died
in 1937, his son, Darwin, gave the
pen to his neighbor Adelaide Finsland, who in turn give it to her son
Bob.
In 1989, Jim Larson was South
Dakotas Centennial Director. His
great grandmother and Adelaide
Finslands mother were sisters.
Larson remembered hearing
about the pen as a youngster. So,
Larson contacted the Finslands
and they offered to donate the pen
to the South Dakota State Historical Society.
It is currently on display at the
South Dakota Cultural Heritage
Center in Pierre.

Carbohydrates in the diet

by Ann Schwader,
Nutrition Field Specialist
With everyones busy schedules
now days, it is challenging to
quickly prepare healthy meals
that have a good balance of providing us with energy without
leaving us hungry or providing too
many calories. Carbohydrates are
an essential nutrient that supplies
energy (calories). Energy is
needed for physical activity and
proper organ function such as
body temperature, breathing and
heart and muscle function.
Dietary carbohydrates provide
glucose that body cells can use for
energy. The central nervous system (brain power) relies solely on
glucose for energy. When your
body has more glucose then what
the body needs for immediate energy, it is converted into fat and
stored in body fat cells. Our bodies can only store enough glycogen
to provide about a half days supply of energy.
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines

for Americans recommends that

you consume between 45 and 65
percent of your calories as carbohydrates. As an example, individuals consuming 2,000 calories per
day should consume 900-1,300
calories from carbohydrates (or
about 225-325 grams).
Both simple and complex carbohydrates provide energy for the
body. Simple carbohydrates are
the sugars found in fruit, some
vegetables, dairy products, table
sugar and honey. Complex carbohydrates are the starches in cereals, grains and vegetables.
If the first ingredient listed on
a Nutrition Facts label is listed as
whole-wheat flour or whole-oat
flour, its most likely a complex
carbohydrate. Instead of eating
regular pasta, try whole-wheat
pasta or instead of white bread,
try whole-grain bread. If the food
item has more than 2.5 grams of
fiber per serving, its probably a
carbohydrate.

Here are some examples of the

amounts of carbohydrates found
in a few common foods: 1 slice of
bread or 1 tortilla (15 grams), 1/2
cup of rice, beans, corn, peas and
yams (15 grams), 1 small piece of
fruit (15 grams), 2 tablespoons of
raisins (15 grams), 1/2 cup of ice
cream (15 grams), 1/2 cup of
cooked vegetables (5 grams) and 1
cup of raw vegetables (5 grams).
Be conscious of what you eat.
Avoid low-nutrient sweets (such as
ice cream and cake) and indulge in
whole grains, fruits and vegetables to maintain a well-balanced
diet. Use the Carb-o-Meter
(http://www.extension.iastate.edu/
carbometer/), courtesy of Iowa
State Extension, to find out how
many carbs you are consuming
dail.

Thinking about health: When congress

says its ok to waste healthcare dollars
by Trudy Lieberman,
Rural Health News Service
Evidence continues to pile up
that Medicare Advantage plans
are no advantage for taxpayers.
MA plans, as they are called, are
one alternative for seniors to receive their Medicare benefits. But
in this case, the benefits come from
government payments to private
insurance carriers, not directly
from the federal government.
Medicare Advantage plans took
off in 2006 when overpayments
from the government allowed insurance sellers to offer these
arrangements as an alternative to
traditional Medicare benefits and
Medigap policies. In a move to encourage beneficiaries to use managed care---on the theory it would
save money---the government
began to pay insurers to provide
the same benefits to seniors and
disabled people eligible for
Medicare that would be available
in the regular fee-for-service program.
Payments from Washington
have been very generous---a kind
of subsidy for insurers that has
made it possible for them to entice
seniors with low or no monthly
premiums for their coverage and
extra goodies like chiropractic
care, gym memberships and eye
glasses.
There was a catch, though, that
seniors would learn about only if
they got sick. Some of these nopremium MA plans came with
high copayments and coinsurance
required for many services. Still,
theyve become so popular that 30
percent of all Medicare beneficiaries now have them, and most beneficiaries eagerly sign up for them
during fall open enrollment with
little thought to potentially high
out-of-pocket costs down the road.
Studies by health policy researchers in and out of govern-

ment have found that Medicare

has paid insurance companies as
much as 12 or 13 percent more
than it costs to provide identical
benefits for the same services
under the traditional program
thanks to quirks in the payment
formulas as well as overbilling by
insurance companies.
The most recent study has come
from Medicares own researchers
who quietly posted their results in
late July on an online research site
of the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS), which
runs the Medicare program. They
found many MA plans routinely
overbill the government for treating elderly patients and have done
so for years.
Researchers said that many MA
plans exaggerate how sick their
patients are and how much they
cost to treat them, a practice called
upcoding, which my journalistic
colleague Fred Schulte at the Center for Public Integrity has written
about extensively. Schulte told me,
the study can appear to be an inside baseball thing but its hugely
important since it exposes tons
and tons of misspent taxpayer
money.
For example, CMS researchers
found that beneficiaries in some
MA plans appeared to have rates
of some diseases like depression
and complications from diabetes
that were higher than those in traditional Medicare. Yet they concluded that people who join MA
plans are healthier than those who
stay in traditional Medicare. They
concluded its unlikely that the
higher payments insurers receive
for these more complicated conditions are related to improvements
to seniors health provided by the
plans, as the insurance industry
claims.
The fact the study has gotten so
little attention is puzzling consid-

ering that the MA program will

cost the government some $160
billion this year. But then maybe
its not so puzzling given whats
happened to past efforts to reduce
excess payments to the plans.
President Barack Obama came
to the White House vowing to cut
the overpayments, a promise he
made often on the campaign
stump. But each time CMS proposed cuts, the insurance industrys lobbying, its slick advertising
and TV campaigns, and ultimately
pressure from members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, turned the proposed cuts
into payment increases. Medicare
Advantage is good business for the
carriers. Last year a journalist for
the now defunct Medicare News
Group estimated no cuts would
add some $11 billion to insurers
bottom lines.
In 2013 the agency proposed a
2.2 percent cut that turned into a
three percent rate hike. Same
story this year. A proposed two percent rate reduction resulted in a
small increase in payments. And
in 2012 CMS decided to forgive
more than $32 billion in overpayments the government had given
the insurers from 2008 through
2010.
Schulte thinks the recent study
may be the programs Achilles
heel. Im not so optimistic. CMS
has not released the names of the
insurance companies doing the
most overcharging. If the agency
would spotlight individual companies, then we consumers would
have a chance to see whats really
happening. Maybe that would finally effect change.

HDL itself doesnt

seem to help

tory. The drugs primary mechanism of function was to inhibit the

livers ability to make cholesterol.
The scientists in the laboratories of the various drug companies
set out more than 15 years ago to
create a drug that would raise the
level of HDL. If LDL cholesterol
was bad and you lowered the concentration of that to stop heart attack and stroke, what would
happen if we raise the level of
HDL. There ensued an incredible
investment in the idea that raising the HDL would be the next big
block buster drug. It was known
that the basic mechanism of HDL
effect was to pick up cholesterol
from blood vessels and carry it to
the liver to be disposed of. What
more could a drug be asked to do?
The first drug in this class was
niacin. Used alone, niacin caused
terrible hot flashes and itching. I
tried it myself and can testify to
the unacceptable side effects of
free niacin. But then it came out
as an extended release product
called Niaspan in which the itching and flushing could be stopped
with aspirin taken at the same
time. There were several studies
demonstrating that niacin would
raise the level of HDL in the persons blood.
But this number on a piece of
paper measuring the persons
HDL level is not really what a person is looking for. Instead, they
would like to think that when that
level of HDL went up, the rate of
heart attack and stroke would go
down. Try as they would, there
were no meaningful studies that
demonstrated this. Then Pfizer

Cholesterol was discovered to

be a factor for heart attack and
stroke in the 1950s. By the 1960s,
it was known that there were two
broad classes of cholesterol. One
was called LDL (low density
lipoprotein) and the other was
called HDL (high density lipoprotein). Through the 1970s and 80s,
it was learned that LDL was a
marker for heart attack and
stroke whereas HDL was a
marker for longevity and the absence of heart attack ands stroke.
In 1988, a product called Mevacor (lovastatin) came on the marfollowed
quickly
by
ket
Pravastatin, Simvastatin, Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin. These
statin products were all huge financial successes. Lipitor turns
out to have been the most profitable drug in history but its
patent ran out recently and Pfizer
Pharmaceutical Company has
been looking for a replacement
drug with the same financial potential.
All of the statin drugs were
clearly demonstrated to decrease
heart attack and stroke although
some seem to have better effect in
this regard than others. For the
most part, it seemed to be a doserelated effect and many individuals complained of muscle aching
and other side effects from the
statin drugs. But there was no
question that the statin family of
drugs was one of the greatest
medical breakthroughs in our his-

devised a drug called torcitropib

and Hoffman LaRoche Pharmaceutical Company devised a drug
dalcetropib. Both of these drugs
very clearly raised the HDL level
in a persons blood. But when the
drug was first tried in the general
public, there were actually more
deaths in the drug treated group
than in the control group that did
not receive the drug. Torcetropib
and Dalcetropib never came to
market.
In a recent issue of the New
England Journal of Medicine
there was a study that addressed
the question of whether niacin
would save lives from heart attack
and stroke. The answer was an
unfortunate no and now it seems
that the HDL studies are a bust.
There are adequate studies showing that there are drugs that will
raise the HDL but unfortunately,
that medically increased HDL
does not stop heart attacks or
strokes.
This is another example of a
chemical factor in the blood being
a marker but not a cause. It seems
that there are a group of people
who just naturally have a very
high HDL level (65 mg percent or
more). These people are marked
for longevity. Their high HDL level
is somehow associated with a
markedly decreased incidence of
heart attack and stroke and vascular disease. But it would not appear that medically raising a
persons HDL is any help. You can
stop the niacin now, save some
money, stop the itch, stop the hot
flashes, and be none the worse for

scope, and actually examining the
patient. I know our med schools
are trying to fix that and I personally think just maybe we do that
better out here in rural places.
Also not so good, I have
watched how obesity, weakness,
and diabetes is on the rise, possibly due to appliances, vehicles,
and labor saving devices that have
been making life too easy. And to
boot, I believe we in the medical
profession have too readily moved
to emphasize pharmaceutical
treatments while not encouraging
our patients to exercise enough.
Some are critical of the move to
Physician Assistants and Nurse
Practitioners, but I believe that individually, any one of them may be
a superb and intuitive healer.
After all, when any clinician is
greater than five years away from
medical school or training, one is
only as good as how much she or
he reads, questions, thinks, and
most important, collaborates.

by Richard P. Holm MD
In over 32 years of practicing
medicine on the prairie, I have
seen a lot of changes in health
care, some not so good, and some
good.
Not so good begins with the
electronic medical record or the
EMR, which has such potential,
but has so far been a disappointment. The EMR seems developed
mostly to satisfy billers and defense lawyers, and at this point
provides too little help with actually caring for the patient. The
myriad versions out there do not
interact well with each other, and
because of user-not-so-friendly
EMRs, it just about takes twice
the time to see a patient now.
Hope springs eternal, however,
and a much faster, easier to use,
and more communicative version
should evolve in a couple years.
With all the modern advancement in technology, I believe there
has been reduced emphasis by clinicians on taking time listening to
the patient's story, laying on of the
hands, listening with the stetho-

tremendous improvement in diagnostics with CT and MRI scans,

rapid laboratory testing, and revealing genetic analysis; or in advancing pharmaceutical therapy
for cancer, depression, esophagitis,
hepatitis C, and hypertension; or
in surgical therapy with vascular
stents, endoscopes and robotics.
The list goes on, but we are lightyears ahead of where we were 32
years ago. And these advances are
almost as readily available to us
in rural America as in the big city.
The biggest challenge in the
years to come, will have to do with
financing all of this, and I predict
will result in even more changes.
Let's hope they are good.

USDA NOTIFIES
PRODUCERS ON ACREAGE
HISTORY AND YIELDS
Written notifications from
USDA are underway to farmers
that provide updates on their current base acres, yields and 20092012 planting history.
Please cross check the letter
from USDA with your farm
records. If the information is correct, no further action is needed at
this time, but if our letter is incomplete or incorrect, contact your
local FSA office as soon as possible.
Verifying the accuracy of data
on a farms acreage history is a required early step for enrolling in
the upcoming Agriculture Risk
Coverage (ARC) program and the
Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program. Later this summer, farmers
and ranchers will have an opportunity to update their crop yield
information and reallocate base
acres.
By mid-winter all producers on
a farm will be required to make a
one-time, unanimous and irrevocable election between price protection and county revenue
protection or individual revenue
protection for 2014-2018 crop

FILING FOR NAP LOSSES

The CCC-576, Notice of Loss, is
used to report failed acreage and
prevented planting and may be
completed by any producer with
an interest in the crop. Timely filing a Notice of Loss is required for
all crops including grasses. For
losses on crops covered by the
Non-Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) and crop insurance, you must file a CCC-576,
Notice of Loss, in the FSA County
Office within 15 days of the occurrence of the disaster or when
losses become apparent.

Sunflower, sorghum
& corn plot tours
South Dakota State University
Extension will offer tours of the
Sunflower and Grain Sorghum
Crop Variety Testing plots in
Lyman County on Tuesday, September 9. We will begin with the
Sunflower Variety Trial at 4:30
p.m. CDT. The Sunflower plot is
located 6.5 miles south of I-90 Exit
226, east of Presho, two miles west
and 1/4 mile south. In addition to
the sunflower hybrid variety trial,
the plot includes a fungicide seed
treatment trial and a herbicide
trial. These plots were established
to evaluate fungicide seed treatment products for control of
downy mildew, and potential new
herbicide products for crop safety.
The Grain Sorghum Variety
Plot is located 4.5 miles south of
Kennebec and 2.5 miles east on
246th St. Plans are to begin the
grain sorghum tour about 6:00
p.m. CDT. Along with the hybrid
variety trial, the SDSU W.E.E.D.
project established a herbicide
trial at the site. Kim Halverson,
the plot cooperator, also has a
Corn Variety Plot at the location.
Representatives from some of the
seed companies with hybrids in
the sunflower, sorghum and corn

plots will be on hand for information on their products.

Plans are to finish the evening
at the Kim Halverson Farm with
a meal and refreshments after the
plot tours. For more information,
contact the SDSU Regional Extension Center in Winner at 842-1267.
*****
Your Wheat had Ergot, so
what about Next Year?
The majority of the 2014 wheat
crop was very good, but ergot was
a widespread problem. Many of
the ergot infested fields seemed to
be those that matured later than
most, such as some of the spring
wheat, later planted and later maturing winter wheat varieties, and
fields with thin stands. In at least
one field of winter wheat, many of
the heads containing ergot bodies
were late tillers.
There are at least a couple of
potential explanations for this, 1.
This group of fields apparently
were flowering when particularly
wet, humid conditions prevailed,
and 2. There may have been some
secondary infection from wheat,
rye and/or grasses that developed
ergot earlier, along with ergot developing from primary infection
via spores. Prior to the dark purple to black sclerotia (ergot bodies)
found replacing the grain, infected
florets exude honeydew, which
can spread ergot to other heads by
physical contact and insects.

Wheat producers are wondering

if ergot will be a growing problem.
Ergot has been around for many
years, and whether it will become
more common will depend heavily
on weather conditions in the area
while the wheat crop is flowering.
Producers are also asking about
planting wheat containing ergot,
and about planting into fields that
had ergot. Ergot is considered to
be an occasional, or even rare
problem. Control of ergot is said to
begin with planting seed free of
the sclerotia. Some of the ergot
bodies in wheat fields that were
infected with the disease may
have shelled out and pose a
slighter higher risk than fields
that were free of the disease because the ergot bodies are the
source of inoculum. The key factor
will be the weather conditions
during flowering of the 2015 crop.
No fungicides are labeled for
ergot control, and not believed to
provide significant reduction of
the disease. Fungicide decisions at
flowering should be based on the
risk of scab and other diseases,
and weather conditions during
that time.

Farmers Union celebrates South

Dakota farm and ranch families
To join with the United Nations
in celebrating the International
Year of Family Farming, South
Dakota Farmers Union will highlight a South Dakota farm or
ranch family each month.
This month South Dakota
Farmers Union features the Bush
family. A five-generation farm/
ranch family from Britton, the
Bush family continues to raise
crops and cattle on the land
Joseph Bush homesteaded in
1883.
Among the first South Dakota
families to raise and sell purebred
Angus genetics, the purebred herd
they started in 1927 continues to
provide commercial cattle producers with the genetics they need for
herd success, making the annual
Bush bull sale one of more successful sales in the country.
Building their herd with the
commercial cattle producers future needs in mind, for three generations
the
family
has
maintained impeccable records
and kept a close eye on market
trends to determine what those
needs will be.
Although 131 years later their
farm today looks nothing like it
did in Josephs time, Jim, 71, his
son, Scott, 44, and their spouses,
Carol and Jo, continue the family
tradition of doing business with
integrity, honesty and the philosophy that if you treat customers
the way you want to be treated
they will return.
Honesty, Integrity & Angus
Bulls Sustain Family
Farm/Ranch 131 Years
by Lura Roti/
South Dakota Farmers Union
Everything was kept in a notebook, Jim Bush recalls when
talking about his grandpa, W.E.
Bush, who raised alfalfa seed,
purebred Percheron horses, registered hogs and Angus cattle in the
early teens through the late 1930s
on land his great-grandfather
Joseph homesteaded in 1883 near
Britton, S.D.
When a guy pulled into the
farmyard, Grandpa got straight to
the point and would say which
notebook do I need to get out for
you, Jim says.
Although the notebooks were
long ago replaced with digital
records, Jim and his son, Scott
continue to manage the purebred
Angus herd W.E. started in 1927.
My dad, Clifford, was in 4-H. He
traveled to a farm 30 miles from
home to buy a steer. It received
champion at the fair, so Grandpa
bought the cow and the calf alongside her. To this day, every cow in
our herd can be traced back to
that one cow, says Jim, of how the
Bush family became one of the
first South Dakota families to
raise registered Angus.
Although the Bush family has
been in the seedstock business
since the 1930s, Jim says they

continue to maintain a rather

small cow herd. For most of our
farms career, weve been one of
the smaller herds, but weve had
one of the bigger bull sales. Its always been about not how much we
have, but what we have to sell quality over quantity.
Their attention to quality genetics hasnt gone unnoticed. In
2013 they won the pen of three
bulls show at the National Western Stock Show in Denver.
At Bush Angus, the standard
for quality is determined by their
customers. The commercial customer is what drives us. Our genetics need to be five years ahead
of them, Jim says. For example,
right now guys are building their
herds, so we are creating more
low-birthweight bulls.
Looking ahead and planning for
the future is a process that combines market trends and a keen
understanding of their customers
operations. Eighty-five percent of
their bulls are sold each year to returning customers - many of
whom have been purchasing Bush
genetics for three generations.
Honesty, integrity and relationships with our customers are almost as valuable as what we sell,
Jim says. People like to deal with
people who they know are selling
them what they say they are.
His son, Scott adds, We operate under the old adage, you treat
someone the way you want to be
treated.
Scott joined his dad and
grandpa on the farm after he
graduated from South Dakota
State University in 1992. Like his
dad, Scott majored in animal science and like his dad, he was a
member of the Colligate Livestock
Judging Team. His dad continued
to judge national livestock shows
until he was 55 and Scott continues that tradition, serving as a
judge for livestock shows across
the nation. When I was a kid,
Dad was our judging coach and we
didnt miss a judging school.
After he returned to Bush
Angus, Scott says his dad and
Grandpa Clifford gave him plenty
of room to make his own mark on
the family operation. They let me
make my own mistakes, but made
sure the mistake would not be too

big of one to break a guy, Scott

says. When I was young, I
thought I was smarter than my
parents. When they let me make
mistakes, I realized that maybe
they are a little sharper than I
am.
Crops may not come to mind
when you hear the Bush Angus
name, but according to Jim, diversification has been key to keeping
the farm in the family name for
more than a century.
Even during the Dirty Thirties,
Clifford told him there was always
one crop that made it to harvest.
One year it was alfalfa, another
it was wheat and another year it
was oats. Of course they were baling weeds to feed the cattle like
everyone did to survive, but diversity got them through then and diversification got me through in the
1980s, says Jim, who together
with Scott, farms corn, soybeans,
wheat and alfalfa.
Over the years, Jim says one of
the biggest challenges he has
faced as a cowboy/farmer has been
maintaining his cow herd through
high water. Three-hundred acres
of what used to be pastureland is
now under four feet of water. To
maintain and keep the herd close
by, the men converted some farm
ground to pasture. Weve been
able to not only maintain, but increase our cow herd to 175 - for us
it is a magic number because it
gives us about 65 bulls to sell each
year.
Today, Jim enjoys working sideby-side with his son, and now his
grandson, Tyler. And, although
Jim tells Scott he trusts him to
make the best decision when it
comes to the farms future, he has
no doubt it will remain in the
Bush family for generations to
come.
Its a dream of every
farmer/cowboy to pass the farm
business to the next generation. I
love working with my son; and
getting to see him develop his personality, work ethic, interact with
customers and develop his own
ideas and goals for the farm, Jim
says. Im pretty sure this place
will be here a long time with a
Bush running things.

Jones County 4-H Achievement Days celebration

Celebrating youth from Jones and

Mellette counties was the theme as
Alex Newsam (above) demonstrates. He was one of the salesman
at the highly successful bake sale
that was held Friday morning of
achievement days. Wood science
was the 2014 4-H incentive project
as chosen by the Jones County 4-H
Parents and Leaders Association.

Kaycee Jones thanks the crowd for
their support of 4-H in our counties.

A Hawaiian luau including a bon fire wrapped up the achievement day activities. Besides 4-Hers pictured are a host of younger siblings as the after party was a family affair...everyone's parents declined the invitation to be a part of the picture.

Bill Eckert of Eckert Auction has generously given to the 4-H program each
year by auctioning off donated goodies. This year he was challenged with
pulling bids for 144 decorated cupcakes that were decorated at the cupcake
wars held earlier in the day. The auction was lively and the cupcakes were
delicious.

Senior member Jake Lolley is seen

visiting with the wood judge Kit
Talich, who was in charge of placing 26 wood articles built and/or
finished by 4-H members and a
couple more in the open class division.

South Dakotas role in the

creation of Labor Day
Labor Day traditionally marks
the unofficial end of summer, as
the leaves start to change and a
new school year begins. Many
folks enjoy gathering for picnics,
going camping, and taking family
outings. It is important, however,
that during this long weekend we
also take time to remember why
we celebrate Labor Day. What you
may not know about this holiday
is that South Dakota played a key
role in the creation of a national
Labor Day.
Our story starts with James
Henderson Kyle of Aberdeen.
Soon after South Dakota became
a state in 1889, Kyle became active in politics. He was elected to
the United States Senate in 1891
and, as a known defender of workers rights, soon became Chairman
of the Senate Education and

Labor Committee.
In the late 1880s, many American workers toiled under horrible
working conditions with low pay.
Labor Day celebrations began to
occur in various cities and states
around the country to highlight
the workers plight and to fight for
laws to improve conditions in the
workplace. These early celebrations involved parades, picnics,
and, yes, speeches by politicians,
events we still recognize today.
Senator Kyles role in the creation of Labor Day comes in as
states across the country began
creating their own working mans
holidays. Oregon, the first state
to create a Labor Day, did so in
1887, and support for a national
holiday to celebrate workers only
continued to grow. In 1894, Senator Kyle introduced Senate Bill
730 to designate the first Monday
of each September as Labor Day.
His bill, and with it, Labor Days
official federal designation, be-

came law later that year on June

28.
Since that time many laws have
been passed to improve working
conditions. These laws have vastly
improved workplace safety and
provided for the 40 hour work
week. The Civil Rights Act of 1964
prohibited employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. The
Family and Medical Leave Act and
Americans with Disabilities Act of
the early 1990s protected the
rights of new parents, seriously ill
workers, and disabled workers.
This Labor Day we will gather
for picnics, BBQs, and parades
much as people did 100 years ago.
Labor Day reminds us of how far
we have come in protecting workers and also reminds us that more
needs to be done. And here in
South Dakota, we can also celebrate the role that one of our own
played in the creation of Labor
Day.

South Dakota wing opens exhibit

at state National Guard museum
The South Dakota Wing of the
Civil Air Patrol opened an exhibit
at the South Dakota National
Guard Museum in Pierre on Friday, August 8. The SDWG/SDNG
exhibit, which runs through October, celebrates the two organizations assistance to each other in
accomplishing their missions.
The exhibit features current
and decommissioned CAP uniforms such as the Smurf Suit,
the Corporate Dress Uniform, current and past flight jackets and a
battle dress uniform. It also includes current and past equipment such as an aircraft radio, a
ground radio, GPS and pilot kneeboard. It also includes CAP insignia, the SDWG Roundup
magazines,
various
awards,
patches, a chart with the LLRS
routes highlighted, etc. It also includes a PowerPoint of photos of
SDWG and SDNG members and
activities. All of the items are
identified with descriptions, with

the history of the CAP, cooperation

between the SDWG and the
SDNG and other notable and interesting facts about the SDWG
and CAP and SDNG on placards.
The SDWG items are in two large
cases, three mannequins, and two
easels.
Wing Historian Major Todd Epp
spent a great deal of time and effort gathering and preparing materials and curating the exhibit.
The South Dakota wing owes a
debt of gratitude to SDNG Museum Director Ms. Sonja Johnson
who made the exhibit possible
through her support.
The opening of the SDWG exhibit was further highlighted by a
number of Aerospace Education
activities for visiting schoolchildren. Wing Aerospace Education
Officer Lt. Col. Buck DeWeese
with the assistance of other
SDWG seniors and cadets put on
AE activities in conjunction with
the exhibit opening and the

SDWGs AE Day. They entertained three groups of Pierre Boys

and Girls Club members from Kfourth grade, about 40 children
and some 20 parents and teachers.
Maj. Epp thrilled the crowd with
demonstration flights of his
quadracopter.
The children loved making
straw rockets, parachutes and
paper airplanes. Lt. Col. Rodney
DeWeese answered many aerospace questions from children and
adults. The highlight, however,
may have been when Lt. Col DeWeese put a group of Boys and
Girls Club kids through close
order drills and marched them
around the museum while they
were dressed in military garb. The
children loved it. Lt. Col. DeWeese
had them whipped into shape in
short order.
Maj. Epps next project will be
creating a SDWG/CAP exhibit at
the South Dakota Air and Space
Museum at Ellsworth AFB in
Rapid City.

Gov. Daugaard takes ALS challenge

Gov. Dennis Daugaard accepted
the Ice Bucket Challenge on
Wednesday evening at the Governors residence to support finding
a cure for amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis, also known as Lou
Gehrigs disease.
There is treatment available
for those who suffer from ALS, but
today theres no cure for the disease,
said
the
Governor.
Through this national viral move-

ment, Im hopeful well make a difference.

Under the rules of the ALS Ice
Bucket Challenge, a person who
receives a challenge can either accept the challenge and dump a
bucket of ice on their head, or donate $100 to an ALS charity of
their choice. Gov. Daugaard decided to accept the ice bucket challenge and give $125 to the ALS
Association in honor of South

Dakotas 125th anniversary.

Gov. Daugaard was challenged
by Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead on
Tuesday, Aug. 19, and Gov. Daugaard issued the challenge to
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple, whose state is also celebrating
125 years of statehood.

Addressing the
barricade between
field and market
Driving through South Dakota
this week, you could see that folks
are making good progress on small
grains throughout the state.
Theres a lot of wheat and barley
stubble already out there. And
many farmers Ive spoken with
are thinking its going to be a
pretty strong soybean and corn
harvest come September-October.
While were only beginning to
get in the field, grain elevators are
already filling up and finding it
extremely difficult to get the rail
cars necessary to empty the bins.
Its pushing the basis or how
much the elevator charges producers for transportation, storage,
and other operational costs
higher and higher, undermining
the already deflated prices. Ive
farmed nearly all my life. I understand how frustrating it is to see a
great crop come in the hopper and
know its just not worth what it
should be. We have to resolve this
backlog.
This winter was tough, which
compounded delays early on, and
with many locomotives being
pulled to North Dakota to move
oil, the railroads never returned to
business as usual. I have met with
Burlington Northern Santa Fe

(BNSF), Canadian Pacific, and the

new Rapid City, Pierre & Eastern
(RCP&E) and have had very frank
conversations about the level of
service in our state. Progress is
being made, but its far from
whats needed to get our commodities to market this fall.
BNSF and Canadian Pacific
have been providing the Surface
Transportation Board, which offers oversight of the rail industry,
with the required status reports
that I have been closely reviewing.
More information is needed than
initial reporting requirements
mandated, however, so I was glad
to see the board come forward in
mid-August with updated requirements.
More specifically, when the line
was sold to RCP&E earlier this
year, Canadian Pacific agreed to
help supplement the smaller railway with locomotives and cars.
While RCP&E has requested 500
cars from Canadian Pacific per
week, they receive an average of
just 300 to 400, far less than what
is necessary to empty the elevators. As a result, the Board is requiring Canadian Pacific to lay
out how they plan to get RCP&E
the 500 cars per week that they
need.
Additionally, Canadian Pacific
will be required to report the number of locomotives moving inbound
and outbound from the RCP&E
system onto the Canadian Pacific

10

system. With this information, we

can make sure that when cars are
available, a locomotive is there to
move them down the line.
Meanwhile, BNSF will need to
provide an expanded plan on their
efforts to deal with the coming
harvest as well as show performance for grain shuttle trains by region.
These new requirements are intended to give shippers and producers more relevant and accurate
information as we approach the
harvest peak while also putting
down markers so railroads can be
held more accountable for meeting
the needs of farmers in South
Dakota.
The situation is improving.
Rail companies have made significant investments and have committed to even greater ones. But
theyre not ready for this years
harvest.
I know farmers are frustrated
and Ive spoken to many who are
looking to build or find alternative
storage options as the rail companies resolve the backlog. I understand what its like and Im
committed to ensuring railroads
follow through on the promises
theyve made to put more grain
cars and locomotives on the tracks
in South Dakota. I will continue to
put pressure on BNSF and Canadian Pacific to do all they can to
move our commodities to market
this harvest. I know producers are
relying on it.

From the U.S. Senate

Senator John Thune
Another school season
As baseball tournaments come
to a close and summer days spent
by the pool dwindle, South Dakota
families slowly gear up for the
start of a new school year. I always
enjoy this peaceful time of year in
South Dakota. The song of cicadas
is a reminder of the last few dog
days of summer. The familiar
sound of combines harvesting
truckload after truckload of corn,
soybeans, and other crops marks
the end of another productive year
and the beginning of another
school season.
School supplies replace the
shorts and swimsuits on store

shelves, while teachers prepare

their classrooms and finalize their
lessons plans. This is an exciting
time of year for families, even if
the kids are not quite ready for
summer to be over so soon.
The family calendar slowly becomes littered with Friday night
football games, marching band
practices, and cross country
meets. Parents stay busy attending booster club meetings and
school events to cheer on the local
team, while kids get back in the
routine of balancing homework,
after school clubs, and sports practice.
While it is easy to get swept up
in back-to-school activities, we
must also take time to remember

how fortunate we are in South

Dakota to have such dedicated
teachers and staff in our school
systems. South Dakota's standard
of excellence in the classroom is a
prized tradition. We value our
dedicated teachers who set up our
students for a lifetime of success.
Both of my parents were educators in Murdo and I saw firsthand
how that dedication can impact
students.
After the school supplies are
purchased, the class teachers are
announced, and the afterschool activities are planned, let us all
strive to make this year the best
school year yet in South Dakota.
The future of our state lies in the
success of our children.

From the S.D. Governor

Governor Dennis Daugaard

Good times
at the South
Dakota State Fair
Classes have begun again, football season will soon be underway
and South Dakotas favorite endof-summer event is coming up
the South Dakota State Fair, held
August 28 through September 1 in
Huron.
Families have enjoyed good
times at the state fair for generations, and I am looking forward to
spending time again at our states
annual celebration of agriculture
and community.
The state fair has a proud history of educating children (and
their parents) about how our

farmers and ranchers produce

food. Whether its watching a livestock show, getting up close and
personal with a calf or lamb, sitting in the seat of a new combine
or tractor, asking an exhibitor
what their chickens eat, or learning Mrs. Olsons secret for growing
massive pumpkins, there are a
host of opportunities for inspiring
and educating young people about
the wonders of agriculture.
Of course, the state fair is located in Huron, but for a few days
each year, the fairgrounds become
a community unto itself. Be sure
to stop at the FFA animal nursery
and ask a state officer how their
year of service is going. Take a
walk through the exhibition halls
and chat with 4-Hers about their
projects. Visit with the vendors
there are dozens of families from
South Dakota and around the

country who come back year after

year because they have such a
good time. And everyone has a
story to share.
This annual celebration wouldnt be complete without the great
fair food, exciting carnival rides
and unique activities. Enjoy an
ALABAMA or BOSTON concert at
the grandstand, try your luck in
the arm wrestling competition,
take your spouse for a twirl in the
jitterbug contest, or play a game
or two on the midway. No matter
your interest, youre bound to
have a good time.
I am proud of our state fair and
enjoy the opportunity to experience this one-of-a-kind celebration
of agriculture and community.
Mark the dates on your calendar
and make plans to come out for at
least one day. Its worth the trip. I
hope to see you there!
