Childers guest speaker at the WallBadlands Area Chamber meeting

by Laurie HindmanExploring strategies for enhanc-

ing the regional economy was thetopic for the Badlands/Bad RiverRegions Set Economies Togethersixth module meeting.

Kari ONeill, community devel-opment field specialist reflected onthe previous session before thegroup began working on identify-ing the ecominc leaks in the regionand exploring basic avenues forstrenghtening the four clustersthat relate back to the vision cen-ter of tourism, telecommunication,agri-business and metal fabrica-tion.

ONeill discussed the leakybucket theory of the regional econ-omy and how it can be plugged byhaving a regional supplier meetthe regional demands of the area.In other words how can we keepthe opportunites for growing newenterprises locally to fill the gapsof goods and services purchasedfrom outside the regions.

At this time the attendees weresplit into smaller groups and eachgroup discussed how the four iden-tified vision clusters can be ex-panded into potential growth op-portunites for new businesses. Po-tential businesses and creating re-gional support so they can surviveand thrive was highlighted by eachgroup.

ONeill concluded her portion ofthe meeting by saying, you needto think about the strateiges that

are used in the region and usethose assets in your area.

Peggy Schlechter led the groupin the second session of the meet-ing.

C.A.R.E. which stands for Cre-ation, Attraction, Retention andExpansion was reviewed bySchlechter.

The creation provides regionalsupport; attraction seeks to reduce

leakages by recruiting into re-gional firms that can supply miss-ing goods or services that supportthe clusters; retention and expan-sion support existing businesses

within a cluster so that they cansurvive and thrive another avenuefor stopping or preventing clusterleakages.

When you connect competitiveadvantages of demand condition,firm strategy, structure, rivalry,faction conditions and related sup-porting indurstries to C.A.R.E.,you create, attract and have reten-tion and expansion.

The group was then asked to

consider other potential strategiesthat could be successful in the re-gion.

Final reflections were held onwhat topics did they find most

helpful and what was not confus-ing.

The seventh SET module will bepresented in Interior on July 15 at5:30 p.m.

The group will examine regionalassets, explore the regions sevencapitals, take an honest look at po-tential barriers and take steps tolink assets to their potential re-gional goals.

After four successful years train-ing new farmers on the easternside of the state, Dakota Rural Ac-tions Farm Beginnings course ismoving west and will be offered inRapid City this year. Farm Begin-nings is a farmer and rancher-ledtraining and support program thatprovides participants the opportu-nity to learn first-hand about low-cost, sustainable methods of farm-ing and ranching and the tools to

successfully launch a profitable en-terprise.

We are very excited to be mov-ing the Farm Beginnings course toRapid City so other aspiring farm-ers and ranchers may be given achance to live out their dreams ofliving off the land, said coursegraduate and farmer Aaron John-son, who also serves on the pro-grams steering committee.

Johnson is now a partner atJohnson Farms, an organic grainoperation near Madison, SD.

Farm Beginnings participantscan be of any age, do not need tocurrently own land, and come fromwide range of experiences andfarming and ranching interests.

Nearly 40 families have enrolledin the course over the last fouryears and 83 percent of graduatesare currently engaged in farmingactivities (only 30 percent reported

involvement in farming activitiesbefore taking the class).

Farm Beginnings was thelaunching pad we needed to getstarted, said Anne Hauglid,farmer and course graduate.Oursuccess as JHA Farms stemmedfrom our experience with the class.

We went from zero farm incometo over $21,000 gross sales lastyear for our broiler and egg busi-ness. Were looking to increasethat this year. If it hadnt been forFarm Beginnings we wouldnt beraising chickens successfullytoday.

Farm Beginnings classes areheld November to March and focuson topics such as whole farm plan-ning, financial and business plan-ning, marketing, and connectingwith resources and mentors.

All classes are led by estab-lished farmers and ranchers and

agricultural professionals. Thereare opportunities for students tofurther their skills by participat-ing in mentorships with localfarmers and four - six field daysare offered through Dakota Rural

Actions Farmer Network in thesummer. O v e reighty-percent of course graduates

Farm Beginnings class helps kickstart newoperations training program moves to Rapid City

participate in these on-farm activ-ities after finishing the course.

Danny Dyck of Worthing, S.D.completed the course and followedup with an internship where hegained the production skills neces-sary for him and his wife to launchtheir own CSA, Deep Root Gar-dens, which is now in its secondseason of production. Said Dyck,I've found Farm Beginnings andthe Farmer Network to be indis-

pensable tools for connecting toother local farmers, information,and hands-on skill-building work-shops. I am always looking to seewhat kind of valuable info the Net-work will provide me with next.

Prospective participants shouldcontact Dakota Rural Action at605-716-2200 or e-mail ProgramCoordinator Heidi Kolbeck-Urlacher at [email protected]. Class size is limited and early

application is encouraged.Application deadline for the

2013 Rapid City class is October18th. There are a limited amountof scholarships available to helpwith tuition costs. Course informa-tion and online application can befound at www.dakotarural.org/farmbeginnings.

Farm Beginnings is an estab-lished curriculum developed over adecade ago by the Minnesota-

based Land Stewardship Projectthat is now replicated in severaldifferent states, including Ill.,Neb., N.D. and N.Y. Dakota Rural

Action has adapted the curriculumto meet the needs of South Dakotafarmers and ranchers.

The project is supported by theBeginning Farmer and RancherDevelopment Program of the Na-tional Institute of Food and Agri-culture, USDA, Grant #2010-03066.

Blue skies and sunshine trans-late to a perfect summer day.Those elements are reflected inSouth Dakotas flag.

The story of the states bannerbegan in 1909, when State Sen.Ernest May of Deadwood walkedinto the office of the State Depart-ment of History in Pierre. He dis-cussed the need for a state flagwith state historian Doane Robin-son.

Turning to me, Robinson said,Miss Anding will make you aflag, Ida (Anding) McNeil said inan article in the Jan. 20, 1963,Rapid City Daily Journal.

McNeil, a legislative referencelibrarian at the time, designed andmade a flag that featured a blazingsun in the center of a field of blue,with the words South Dakotaabove the sun in the arc of the cir-cle and The Sunshine Statebelow the sun in the arc of the cir-cle.

McNeil said in the newspaperarticle that Robinson suggested ablazing sun emblem because ofSouth Dakotas many days of sun-shine. McNeil showed the sampleflag to Robinson, who remarkedthat the Great Seal of the State ofSouth Dakota would look nice onthe other side. McNeil agreed, andthe state seal set against a field of

dark blue was placed on the re-verse side.

A bill adopting the state flag waspassed by the Legislature in 1909.

If I had known as much aboutflags as I do now, I certainly wouldhave left the reverse side plain,McNeil said in the Rapid City

Daily Journal article. A two-sidedflag is very difficult to make. In ad-dition to the added work, it is dif-ficult to prevent one side fromshowing through onto the other.

McNeil explained in the newspa-per article that to make the stateflag, she appliqued the golden sunand embroidered the suns rays.

South Dakotas State Flag

She then took another piece ofsilk, painted details of the stateseal on it and appliqued this to thereverse side of the flag. In additionto being difficult to make, a two-sided flag was expensive to pro-duce.

The silk material from whichMcNeil made the flag cost $12.50per yard and the materials for oneflag cost about $75 in 1963.

McNeil left her state job whenshe married in 1921. Although shemade the first state flag, she is bet-ter remembered for being a pio-neer in radio broadcasting. She be-came known as Mrs. Pierre whileowner and operator ofKGFXradioin Pierre.

Another version of how SouthDakotas flag came into beingstates that May told Robinson thatDeadwood pioneer Seth Bullockwanted a state flag. Robinsonmakes no mention of Bullocks in-volvement in the state flag inDoane Robinsons Encyclopedia ofSouth Dakota. David A. Wolff of

Spearfish, author ofSeth Bullock:Black Hills Lawman, said that hecould find no evidence in his re-search on Bullock to support theidea of Bullock being involved inthe first state flag.

During the 1963 legislative ses-sion, Rep. William Sahr of Pierreintroduced a bill to modify thestate flag.

The new one-sided flag kept asun with a serrated edge on a fieldof sky blue but placed the stateseal inside the sun. Around thesun were the words SouthDakota and The SunshineState.

The states banner was again re-vised in 1992, when the Legisla-ture approved changing the word-ing on the flag to read The MountRushmore State instead of TheSunshine State. This reflected achange in the state nickname.

The legislation for both the 1963and 1992 changes contained a pro-vision that any previous flagsmade in conformance with statelaw were to remain official stateflags. That means that it is legal touse any of the three official stateflags.

Not everyone likes our stateflag. The North American Vexillo-logical Association, an association

of flag experts, ranked SouthDakotas flag as one of the fiveworst in North America in 2001.

During the 2012 legislative ses-sion, a bill to adopt a flag designedby Spearfish artist Dick Termeswas introduced. This design fea-tured a sunburst, an American In-dian medicine wheel and concen-tric blue circles. A House commit-tee rejected the call to look at re-vising the flag.

By Senatr Jhn ThuneAgriculture is a way of life in

South Dakota. Not only is it thestates largest industry and the

economic engine of our rural com-munities, but our states ruralareas are where many familiesraise their children and mold thenext generation of farmers andranchersmaking agriculturevery important to our states fu-ture.

Agriculture has changed overthe past two decades with cropproduction becoming more effi-cient and increasing yields. Farm-ers are keeping up with the latesttechnology using satellite steeringsystems for their machinery andapplying seed, fertilizer, and chem-icals with pinpoint accuracy andprecision.

I believe agriculture policyshould follow this example of effi-ciency. As South Dakotas onlymember of the Senate AgricultureCommittee, I take very seriouslythe responsibility of ensuring that

the farm policy coming out ofWashington is defensible to tax-payers and responsive to the mod-ern day needs of farmers andranchers.

Over the past year and a half, Ihave introduced Farm Bill legisla-tion that collectively would savemore than $50 billion over 10years and eliminate unneeded andcostly programs.

As I talked to farmers andranchers across the state in prepa-ration for this Farm Bill, they werevery clear about the importance ofa strong crop insurance program,and they were just as clear thatthey were willing to give up thecurrent Commodity Title programssuch as direct and counter-cyclicalpayments, ACRE, and SURE pro-grams. As I worked with the Sen-ate Ag Committee on drafting the2012 legislation, these requests re-mained among my top priorities.

My proposals to provide market-based payments for revenue lossesdue to substantial crop losses orsteep price declines, in exchange

Senates 2013 Farm Bill movesag policy in the wrong direction

for the elimination of the direct,counter-cyclical, ACRE, and SUREprograms were included in the2012 Senate-passed Farm Bill.

For these reasons, I supportedthe 2012 Farm Bill, as I did withthe previous two Farm Bills, be-cause it included the reforms nec-essary to move agriculture into thefuture.

Unfortunately, this years Sen-ate Farm Bill reauthorizes a 20thcentury Commodity Title programfor 21st century production agri-culture and offers only minimal re-forms amounting to about $4 bil-lion in savings to the $800 billionfood stamp program.

The Commodity Title of thisyears Senate bill included a newprogram called Adverse MarketPayments which uses outdatedcounter-cyclical payments calcu-lated using high fixed target pricesthat overwhelmingly benefit riceand peanuts. The addition of thisnew program, at a cost of morethan $3 billion to taxpayers, was

completely against the wishes ofSouth Dakota farmers, and a hugestep backward from the reformswe passed last year. The inclusionof this program and the minimalreforms in the Nutrition Title are

major factors contributing to myno vote on this bill.

Prior to passage, I offered twoamendments on the Senate Floor

that would have eliminated theoutdated target price program andmade modest reforms to save tax-payer dollars within the foodstamp program. However, out ofmore than 240 amendments thatwere filed on the Senate floor, only14 received votes.

This procedural decision to min-imize amendment votes left mewithout an opportunity to makeimprovements to the Farm Bill,and is yet another reason I couldnot support the legislation.

While I was unable to vote forthe 2013 Senate Farm Bill, the leg-islation still has a number of stepsbefore becoming law, and I willtake every opportunity to make ita better Farm Bill for SouthDakota prior to final passage.

Posted By Pastor Cornelius R. StamReligious people even sincere Christian people may divide themselves into various de-

nominations or churches, but there is no indication in the Bible that God recognizes these divi-sions. Indeed, God makes it abundantly clear that in His sight there is but one Church, composedof all who truly trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. In I Cor. 12:12,13 the Apostle Pauldeclares by divine inspiration:

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that onebody, being many, are one body: so also is Christ:

FOR BY ONE SPIRIT ARE WE ALL BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY.Again, in Rom. 12:5, he says:

SO WE, BEING MANY, ARE ONE BODY IN CHRIST, AND EVERY ONE MEMBERSONE OF ANOTHER.

Indeed, it is on the basis of the fact that there is but one body in Gods sight that He exhortsus to seek to keep the unity of the Spirit:

ENDEAVORING TO KEEP THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT IN THE BOND OF PEACE.THERE IS ONE BODY. (Eph. 4:3,4).

How can we become members of that one Body , the true Church? Ephesians 2 explainshow Christ died for all, Jew and Gentile alike, that He might reconcile both unto God in onebody by the cross (Ver. 16). Indeed the Epistles of St. Paul show how God hath concludedall in unbelief that He might have mercy upon all (Rom. 11:32), and offer to them reconciliationand salvation by grace through faith in Christ who died for our sins.

The question, then, is not: What church do you belong to? but, Do you belong to the Church,the Body of Christ, composed of all who have acknowledged themselves to be sinners in thesight of God and have trusted in Christ and His finished work for salvation?

Everyone knows that the morewarmed up and relaxed a runnersmuscles are before he begins run-ning a race, the greater the ease hewill have in running that race. Hewarms up by doing various stretch-ing exercises to stretch out hismuscles, and if he fails to do this, itis not very likely that he ever winany races. Stretching is not usuallyconsidered fun for the runner, butit is very beneficial and most vitalto success!

Stretching is also important inother areas of life as well-evenwhen we are not going to be run-ning a marathon any time soon. Iam talking about stretching outour comfort zones.

Stretching out our comfort zonesis not something most of us enjoybecause we like our old comfortableways and we don't like pain. Some-times we just get lazy and it's justeasier to keep doing the same old

stuff in the same old way. We loseour focus, our priorities get out ofwhack, and we get to the pointwhere we need something or some-one to thrust us out of our normalthinking and operating if we areever to get our of the rut we are in.

Ultimately when we arestretched it forces us to think dif-ferently, to operate with new mindsets, and achieve more with health-ier attitudes about time and thepreciousness there of. Stretchingout of our comfort zones bringsabout much needed change, andchange is a great motivator.

Recently in the business world Imade some decisions to "rebuild"my business from scratch after

twenty-some years of operatingwith many of the same attitudes,processes, thinking, and systems.

This decision has forced me tostretch like never before in my en-tire professional career. Stretchinghas been so incredibly good for meand the sales have been record

breaking.Actually, I thought I had made

this kind of radical shift in the pastbut found out that I had never be-fore stretched near what I wastruly capable of. My point is this:Each of us has much more poten-tial than at first we might think wedo. We must keep stretching, keepchanging, and keep growing. It'srefreshing and feels so good!

Let me encourage you to stretchmore than you ever thought possi-ble. Allow it to happen; cause it tohappen. Fasten your seat belt andhang on. Stretch like a rubber bandbeing pulled hard from both ends.I guarantee it'll be the joy ride ofyour life when you make the deci-sion to stretch your comfort zone!

Members of the South DakotaLegislature:

I am writing with new informa-tion from the federal Veterans Ad-ministration that is good newsabout the State Veterans Homeproject.

Due to this good news, I will becanceling the special session that Ihad called for June 22.

As you know, I called a speciallegislative session after bids forthe Veterans Home project came insignificantly higher than was esti-mated.

I also accepted the low bid forthe project, contingent on approvalfrom the State Legislature to ap-propriate the additional funds.

As the materials sent to you onMay 31 explained, we believedthat delaying construction of theproject into next year would lead tothe State losing a $23.6 million

Gov. Daugaard writes to S.D. Legislaturegrant from the federal Veterans

Administration, as well as the lossof eligibility for Medicaid. A specialsession was the only way to appro-priate the necessary funds withoutdelaying the project.

That is no longer the case. Wehave been working with federal VAofficials to find a way around thisdeadline.

We recently received word thatthe grant can be extended so thatwe have until February 2014,rather than June 2013, to finalizeconstruction plans.

We can also continue to be eligi-ble for Medicaid, so long as workon a new facility is ongoing.

This additional time will allowus to revisit the current plans,seek a scaled-back redesign, andrebid the entire project.

I have spent the last threeweeks closely scrutinizing this

project, with the hope that costsavings could be found to reducethe cost of the project.

When I wrote to you on May 22,I said that I didnt believe that wecould cut the cost of this project by$10 million and still build the fa-cility that our veterans need. I nowbelieve that additional cost sav-ings are possible.

Now that we have received addi-tional time, I am ordering that theentire project be reevaluated, re-designed, and rebid.

We owe it to the taxpayers to becertain that we are building adurable, quality, and affordable fa-cility.

Scull Construction has agreed toset aside our contingent accept-ance of the bid, and I very muchappreciate that.

I am hopeful that designchanges could lead to a total costthat we can all feel more comfort-able with, although I would cau-tion you that construction costs inthe Black Hills do seem to behigher than many regions of thecountry.

There will be additional infor-mation over the next severalmonths, and a new plan will bepresented to the 2014 Legislature.

Finally, I want to thank you all

for the patience you have shown aswe have worked through this diffi-cult process.

I know that many legislatorshad to change plans to attend theJune 22 special session, and I trulyappreciate that. We all want tohonor our veterans with a homethat will meet their needs fordecades to come, even as we main-tain our responsibility to the tax-payers we serve.Thank you.Dennis

The South Dakota Departmentof Transportation would like to re-mind landowners that mowing ofthe right of way may not begineast of the Missouri River before

Mowing of the state right of wayJuly 10.

Mowing of the right of way inGregory, Lyman and Tripp coun-ties could begin on June 15.

If a person who is not the abut-

ting landowner wishes to mow theinterstate highway right of way, hemust apply for a permit and in-clude a waiver signed by the abut-ting landowner.

Contact information for the re-gion engineer is available on the

DOT website at http://sddot.com/contact/

The Permit to Occupy the Rightof Way application is located on theDOT website at http://sddot.com/resources/forms/

The department may mow medi-ans and areas within the rights ofway prior to July 10 to control nox-ious weeds and provide increasedsafety to the traveling public.

The South Dakota State MedicalAssociation Alliance (SDSMA Al-liance) has raised $16,000 forCribs for Kids, a program pro-moted by First Lady Linda Dau-gaard to help reduce infant mortal-ity.

In order to reduce infant mor-tality, it is crucial to promote safesleep practices, said Mrs. Dau-gaard. I am humbled that thismuch money was raised and thatthe fight against infant mortalityhas become a statewide effort.

The money raised is enough topurchase 200 safe sleep kits fromCribs for Kids.

Each kit includes a crib, a sheetwith a safe sleep message, a paci-fier, a sleep sack and an educa-tional brochure on safe-sleep prac-tices.

The SDSMA Alliance is workingwith the state Department of

S.D. State Medical Alliance joinsFirst Lady in infant mortality effort

Health to distribute the cribs tothose living in the alliances 12 dis-tricts.

The statewide SDSMA Alliancefirst became involved with Cribsfor Kids in November of 2012when the First Lady spoke to theSioux Falls chapter about infantmortality and measures for pre-vention. Following the presenta-tion, the alliance partnered withthe First Lady and pledged to raisemoney for Cribs for Kids.

The South Dakota State Med-ical Association Alliance recognizesthe concern for the high rate of in-fant mortality in the State ofSouth Dakota and was honored tobe asked by First Lady Linda Dau-gaard to work with Cribs for Kidsproject this year, said Grace Well-man, a member of the alliance.

Through our fundraising andawareness efforts, the SDSMA Al-

liance can help make an impact onreducing infant mortality in SouthDakota.

According to Wellman, the grouprecently received a national awardrecognizing their contribution toCribs for Kids.

The alliance was chosen out of28 state entries to receive the AMA

Alliance Health Awareness Promo-tion Award in Chicago on June 16.

After she became aware of thehigh infant mortality rate in SouthDakota, Mrs. Daugaard chairedthe Governors Task Force on In-fant Mortality. The task force wasestablished in 2011 and offered itsrecommendations to the Governorin 2012.

Early this year the task force re-ported significant improvementsin areas such as prenatal care andsafe sleep practices.

With the approach of the Fourthof July Holiday, the South DakotaGame, Fish and Parks Depart-ment is joining a national effort tohighlight boating safety.

Operation Dry Water will takeplace June 28-30, and is a nationalweekend promoting boating safetyand responsible use of alcoholwhile boating.

Approximately 17 percent of allboating fatalities nationwide arealcohol-related.

As part of the national event,GFP will be conducting extra boat-ing safety patrols across the stateto promote safe and responsibleboating practices heading into theFourth of July holiday.

Our conservation officers con-duct these safety patrols through-

out the year, Brandon Gust, GFPboating safety coordinator, said.As we move into the peak boat-

ing season, we feel we can use ourpresence to share the message that

GFP emphasizing boating safetysafety is an essential element ofany boating experience.

Having a safe and sober opera-tor is always a critical part of boat-ing but Gust added there are otheritems to account for as well.

Before heading onto the water,check your equipment, he said.

Fire extinguishers, life jackets,throwable seat cushions and otherequipment must be in good work-ing condition. The best way to pre-vent an unwanted tragedy on thewater is to be prepared.

The majority of boats in SouthDakota are required to carry:

One U.S. Coast Guard-approvedwearable, properly sized person-able flotation device for each per-son aboard One U.S. Coast Guard-approved throwable type flotation

device (seat cushion or ring buoy)for vessels 16 feet or longer, OneU.S. Coast Guard-approved fireextinguisher of B-1 type or largerfor vessels with enclosed gas com-

partments.Gust noted that state regula-

tions require all children underage seven to wear an approvedpersonal flotation device anytimea boat is moving at greater thanno-wake speed. He recommendstaking the next step and keeping apersonal flotation device on all oc-cupants in the boat at all times.If boaters are uncertain whatsafety equipment they are re-quired to have onboard, Gust sug-gests that they pick up a copy ofthe South Dakota Boating Hand-book at the nearest GFP Office,state park, GFP-license outlet orby going online at http://gfp.sd.gov/fishing-boating/boating/

Boating is all about having fun.Our boating safety patrols have a

secondary role of law enforce-ment, Gust said. Our primarygoal is to share the message withthe boating public that safety isthe most important factor to a funouting. We want everyone to havean enjoyable boating season.
