Eastern Pennington County Ambulance District acceptsresignation, appoints Kjerstad to hold the position

by Del Bartels The Rush Funeral Home’s mainchapel will be moving from 203 W.Pine Street to 165 East Highway14, in Philip. The new buildingshould be completed by this fall. “Gayle and I have lived in a fu-neral home, or next to one, most ofour married life,” said Jack Rush.This move of the funeral home,and the conversion of the currentsite to a traditional home, willchange that. “This was actuallybuilt as a funeral home, but hasbeen added on to three times,” saidRush. Jack and Gayle met in 1967 andmarried in 1968, while Jack wascompleting his apprenticeship inMadison. He had graduated fromthe Wisconsin Institute of Mortu-ary Science in Milwaukee. Origi-nally, Jack had become interestedin the funeral profession after aneighbor boy was killed and Jackwas one of the pallbearers. In thatera, the work of the funeral direc-tor could include being the countycoroner as well as running the am-bulance. The hearse, actually a“combination unit,” converted intoan ambulance when needed. That is only one way the funeralhome business has changed overthe years. It used to include dig-ging the graves, making the sur-face vaults, performing the “full fu-neral service, then changingclothes and filling in the grave,”said Jack. Today, there are specificgravediggers and the vaults arebrought in from suppliers. The Rushes moved to Chamber-lain for a short time, where Jack’sduties still included ambulancework. In 1969, now in the big cityof Sioux City, Iowa, he no longerhad to do the ambulance part orthe cemetery work. In 1977, theymoved to Sioux Falls, where heworked as a funeral director untilmoving to Philip in December1983. “I was 37, and my goal in lifewas to own my own funeral home.I thought, if I’m going to work thatmany hours, I might as well workfor myself,” said Jack. He had pre-viously held a high school summerjob at the Wall Drug Store. So,when he heard from a supplysalesman that the funeral homeowned by W.E. “Woody” and RuthWoodall was for sale, he investi-gated. In 1983, the Rushes moved toPhilip to operate the funeral home,

as well as the visitation chapels inWall and in Kadoka. Robert “Bob” Coyle stayed onand became Jack’s right-handman. “He was always there andwilling to help, and Sharon, Bob’swife, answered the phone,” saidJack. “After Bob died (July 4,2000), Gayle came aboard and hasworked faithfully ever since; a realasset to the funeral home. Some-one has to be able to answer thephones 24/7, know what is goingon and able to answer questions,”said Jack. Gayle graduated from MountMarty College with a degree in so-cial work. “I’ve never had a socialwork job in my life, but I use socialwork every day of my life,” saidGayle. Jack’s sister has also comeon board this year to shouldersome of the office load. Jack joked,“Maybe this place will be a bed andbreakfast; I’m going to sleep hereand Gayle’s going to feed me?” The Rushes have raised threechildren, Lisa Moon, Creighton,Bridgett Stark, Breese, Ill., andDaniel John (D.J.), Philip. D.J. isnow the second half of the owner-ship/management of Rush FuneralHome. “I grew up here, in this house,and around it (the business), so I

Rush Funeral Home moving

knew it was definitely what I didnot want to do!” said D.J. Onlyafter three years in the Army, andthen earning an economics degreefrom South Dakota State Univer-sity, did he consider entering intothe funeral home business. ByJanuary 2001, D.J. had completedhis mortuary science degree at theUniversity of Minnesota and hisapprenticeship in Brookings. Hismortuary graduating class startedwith around 30 students, with halfnot continuing. “The attrition rateisn’t very good,” said D.J. Now, he is part of the business.“You know just about everybodyand it’s worked out well, most ofthe time. The work environment isokay. There are tough days inwhatever you are doing.” “I think it is a good move; morespace,” said D.J. “When I camehere, I think he (Jack) had onedesk. Now we have three comput-ers and four printers. We just grewout of it.” D.J. believes the best thingabout the funeral home business isthe process. “You probably knowthe family. The next four to fivedays you are with them, you seethe way they process grief. Theyare healing. You hope you’ve beena little part of that. Maybe that’s

why you do it.” “The worst thing is personalscheduling. You can’t scheduleanything, family vacations, etc., itdoesn’t matter,” said D.J. Jack said, “One thing I didn’twant to do was be tied down likeon the dairy farm I grew up on. Wehad to be there every morning andevery evening. This is totally dif-ferent; we being a family ownedand operated business – we are24/7. We’ve survived from 1967 totoday, 45 years of the funeral busi-ness. It has been a great movecoming to western South Dakotaand we have no regrets.” The new location was once thePark-Inn Cafe and gas station, be-fore it became a Kingdom Hall ofthe Jehovah Witnesses. “When itwas a cafe, I used to go up thereand have coffee every day,” saidJack. Today, the public opinion ofthe funeral home business is lean-ing away from being unap-proached until needed. Now com-ing in can include coffee while peo-ple discuss pre-planning and othermore modern aspects of funeralhomes. School student visits nowoccur, with funeral directors teach-ing students the different aspectsof death and dying. The Rush Fu-neral Home website, www.rush-funeralhome. com, addresses thecost of a funeral, which includesthe six percent sales tax for mate-rials and services. The site ex-plains what funeral directors do,different aspects and options of fu-neral arrangements, and how thedirectors can help the family. The new building will eventuallybe 4,917 square feet, with a 36x36garage. It will be OccupationalSafety and Health Administrationcompliant; including the air ex-change unit in the embalmingroom set to exchange the air 14times per hour. The layout of theviewing room will be for easier vis-iting of the attendees. Actual fu-neral services will still be held inchurches or other family chosenplaces. “We’re only assuming by moreroom, D.J. can do his mass commu-nication, website, videos ... he cando more. That is where the funeralhome business is changing. Youhave to be capable of supplyingboth the old and the new. We arehere to do what a family wantsand when they want it,” said Jack.

The Eastern Pennington CountyAmbulance District met for thefirst time as a board on Wednesday,July 25 at 7:00 p.m. The ambu-lance service members were also inattendance. President Wally Hoffman askedfor a motion to approve minutesfrom the Wednesday, July 11 meet-ing. A motion was made and ap-proved. Hoffman read a letter from PeteDunker, who declined the nomina-tion to sit on the board for threeyears and to also be the treasurer.The board approved a motion to ac-cept Dunker’s resignation. Hoffman asked the board to con-sider changing the position from athree year term to a one year termand to be appointed at the next an-nual meeting. Hoffman would alsolike to combine the treasurer posi-tion with the secretary position.The board approved to combine thepositions. Jem Kjerstad was nominatedand approved to take overDunker’s position. Options for managing the dis-trict lead into a lengthy discussion.Dawn Hilgenkamp asked who isgoing to do the work that is in-volved in creating the corporation.She went on to say that not manyfrom the ambulance service havethat kind of time. Dick Johnson re-lated they are short on local num-bers to run the corporation. He sug-gested hiring a service director torun the whole show. Johnson wentto say that Hill City and Keystonehave the people to make an ambu-lance district work. John Kitter-

man agreed with Johnson, headded that he can’t keep up witheverything and a director positionis the key to a smooth operation.Hoffman asked what would the po-sition cost. Johnson replied $30-35,000 minimum. Vice-Presidentof the board Norman Eisenbraunasked if having a director wouldmake it tougher or easier gettingEMTs. Johnson said, “as long as itis the right person, maybe then wecan get locals to become EMTs. Board member Elden Helmswanted to know if we could getEMTs from WDT. Kittermanreplied that’s where we get theEMTs from, but Wall is just a step-ping stone for them since most aregoing on to become paramedics.Johnson noted that locals are thekey to this operation. The ambulance service wouldlike to see the board take over theambulance service by January 1,2013. Kitterman said we will con-tinue to help with running theservice. Hoffman’s main concern is com-ing up with the money to run theambulance. He noted what the taxdistrict will raise in taxes will re-place what it going out of reservesbut finances will be tight withouttaking into consideration otherfactors. Kjerstad wanted to know,“what are our other options, if it isto time concerning for anyone?”Hoffman replied, “In a few yearsdown the road it would pay for it-self if we get some local EMTs.”Board secretary and treasurer An-derson informed the board thatthey will receive tax revenue in

2013 instead of 2014 as long as thebudget is submitted to the Pen-nington County Commissioners bySeptember 1. Johnson then mentioned that weare kind of where we were at, be-fore the district was formed. Theservice will still struggle to makeit even with the tax levy, we needlocal EMTs to make the servicesurvivable. He added if you hire adirector they will have to be anEMT and cover a shift whichwould help. Hoffman related wewill have to go with the maximumtax levy. He then asked if everyonewas comfortable with the budgetin which Hilgenkamp added weneed to add the director’s pay. Kevin Wilson informed theboard that there is a national prob-lem with rural Emergency MedicalService and Dr. Long from RapidCity Regional Hospital will con-tinue to oversee the Wall Ambu-lance Service. He also related thatthe board should buy their own li-ability insurance policy. Andersonwill look into this matter. The board approved a motion toresearch hiring an ambulance di-rector for the ambulance service.

The 11th day of the eighthmonth is a good time to rememberthe importance of calling 811 be-fore beginning any digging project,suggests the South Dakota PublicUtilities Commission and theSouth Dakota One Call Board.August 11, 8/11, is National 811Day, a designation intended tohelp spread the message to call811 before you dig. When planning outdoor projects,residents should always considerthe possibility that undergroundutilities could be directly belowthem. When an excavator calls 811before they begin their project,they significantly reduce the riskof serious injury to themself andthose around them as well as dis-ruption of utility service. Excava-tors that hit an underground util-ity can be held financially respon-sible for any damages caused. Projects as modest as planting ashrub or installing a mailbox allrequire calls to 811 at least 48hours prior to digging. The possi-bility of striking a line still existseven when digging a short depth. South Dakota Public Utilities

National 8/11 Day serves to reminddiggers to call 811 before they dig

Commission Chairman Chris Nel-son further stressed the safety as-pect of the 811 program. “Calling811 is critical to the protection ofthe complex network of under-ground utilities, but it is also vitalto remember that lives can besaved when 811 is called beforedigging,” he said. “Every diggingproject—whether big or small—re-quires a call to 811.” “Call, wait and dig. It’s that sim-ple,” said Kurt Pfeifle, SouthDakota One Call Board chairman.An excavator makes the free call to811, gives the One Call represen-tative the location details of theirproject and waits for the utility op-erators to be notified to mark anyunderground utilities at a projectsite,” he said. “It’s fast, easy andcan give people peace of mindwhen digging.” Even after utilities have beenmarked by utility operators, exca-vators are encouraged to alwaysdig with care.

S.D. Lottery announces 25-year retailers

recognizing those who are directlyresponsible for getting its productsinto the hands of players – the re-

tailers who sell Lottery tickets intheir businesses.

One-hundred-six of the morethan 600 South Dakota retailerswho currently offer the gameshave been Lottery partners for theentire 25 years of operation. Lot-tery Executive Director Norm Lin-gle says the agency’s success is duein large part to these front-linerepresentatives.

“We can come up with the bestgames in the world but if no one iswilling to sell them, we have failedin our efforts to raise revenue forthe State of South Dakota and itscitizens. The Lottery has an excep-tional core of retailers who steppedup to the challenge when the firstticket was sold in 1987 and who’vecontinued to partner with us everyyear since. I’m glad we have thisopportunity to thank them fortheir commitment,” Lingle said.

Each of the “25-Year Retailers”will be presented with an anniver-sary clock commemorating theirservice. Retailer from the Wallarea to be recognized is:

•Wall: Common Cents FoodStore #111

The retailer recognition is partof a months-long 25th anniversarycelebration which also includes thelaunch of two anniversary scratchtickets this month, an anniver-sary-themed booth at the SouthDakota State Fair in August, anda formal observance at a SouthDakota Lottery Commission meet-ing to be held adjacent to the ac-tual September 30 anniversarydate.

USDA Farm Service Agency(FSA) State Executive DirectorCraig Schaunaman, announcedthat in response to drought condi-tions, FSA has authorized emer-gency haying and grazing use ofConservation Reserve Program(CRP) acres for all South Dakotacounties. "South Dakota producers inter-ested in emergency haying andgrazing of CRP must contact theirlocal FSA offices to obtain approvalto hay or graze CRP," said Schau-naman. Any approved emergencyhaying and grazing of CRP cannotbegin until August 2, 2012, whichis after the end of the primarynesting and brood rearing seasonin South Dakota. "Producers willalso need to obtain a modified con-servation plan from the NaturalResources Conservation Service

USDA authorizes emergency hayingand grazing of CRP acres in S.D.

(NRCS) that includes haying andgrazing requirements," he said. Under CRP emergency hayingand grazing provisions, haying ac-tivity may not exceed August 31,2012, and grazing activity may notexceed September 30, 2012. Theacreage eligible for emergencyhaying and grazing is limited tothose conservation practices eligi-ble under the emergency release ofCRP for haying and grazing pur-poses. Currently there are approx-imately 532,000 acres of CRPavailable for emergency hayingand grazing in South Dakota.There are an additional 19,000acres of Conservation Practice 25,Rare and Declining Habitat avail-able for emergency grazing pur-poses only. Wetland and farmablewetland conservation practices areconsidered to be environmentallysensitive; therefore, are not eligi-ble for emergency haying and graz-ing. On July 11, 2012, Secretary Vil-sack announced that the 25 per-cent CRP payment reduction willbe reduced to 10 percent for all2012 emergency haying and graz-ing authorizations in order to pro-vide greater flexibility to farmersand ranchers in response to thedrought conditions. Under emergency haying andgrazing provisions, producers arereminded that the same CRPacreage cannot be both hayedand/or grazed at the same time.For example, if 50 percent of a fieldor contiguous field is hayed, the re-maining unhayed 50 percent can-not be grazed; it must remain un-hayed and ungrazed for wildlifehabitat purposes. In an effort to proactively serveSouth Dakota farmers and ranch-ers, the South Dakota Farm Serv-ice Agency and the South DakotaDepartment of Agriculture are en-couraging producers to utilize theon-line hay finder services avail-able via www.hayexchange.comand www.haybarn.com. For more information and to re-quest approval for emergency hay-ing and grazing of CRP acres con-tact your local FSA office.

nose. Unfortunately vitamin Clikely will not protect, and remem-ber going out in the cold did notbring this on. You got it fromsomeone else. One can generate a hundredpounds of damaging pressurewhen blowing the nose hard, (es-pecially when blocking one nostril)which packs the sinus or ears withmucus. Do not blow the nose ex-cept very gently, with both nostrilsopen, and only occasionally. Finally avoid decongestants andcold pills. Instead, a natural andeffective way to clear the mucus isto stimulate the making of salivaand to increase swallowing, suchas sucking on sugar-free lemondrops, or even drinking chickennoodle soup, or hot lemonade withhoney. And while you’re at it, stayhome. Don’t spread the bad news.

The Prairie Doc PerspectiveBy Richard P. Holm MD

This time of the year, those of usin health care hear a recurringbad news nose story, and it goeslike this: “I’ve been coming down with itfor two or three days now, and it’sa real doozy! It started with arunny nose, then ache all over,sore throat, and a cough that won’tquit. Where does all that mucuscome from? Now it’s packed intomy sinuses, and I have a headachethat won’t stop! I usually need anantibiotic to shake this sinus in-fection.” There are a few points aboutthis nosey illness worth repeating: First, our patient is describing aviral illness for which an antibioticwill NOT help. At this stage thereis not a bacterial infection. It’sgoing to last a week with antibi-otics and seven days without. What’s more, taking an antibi-otic to prevent the cold from turn-ing into a bacterial infection doesnot work and can just make anysubsequent bacterial infection re-sistant to treatment. Use commonsense to see your doctor when arespiratory illness is lasting toolong, or symptoms are too severe. The most important preventiveis for the infected individual tocover the cough, or sneeze into atissue or arm, and then wash thehands after messing with the

The annual flight of the moun-tain pine beetle has begun in theBlack Hills, according to Ray Sow-ers, state forester for the SouthDakota Department of Agricul-ture.

“Once the beetles begin to fly,there is little to do regarding con-trol,” Sowers said. “The time tospray trees has passed sincesprays are only designed to protecttrees from becoming attacked.Once a tree is attacked, it’s toolate.”

The state Department of Agri-culture also suggests people notcut newly infested trees until afterthe flight is over, usually in mid-September.

“Once the beetles have decidedto attack a tree, it is better just toleave it and have it soak up the

beetles,” Sowers said. “If you re-move the tree, the beetles will justattack another one nearby.”

While landowners may makenote of which trees are being at-tacked on their property, the workof marking and treatment willbegin after the flight, not duringthe flight.

Agriculture is South Dakota'sNo. 1 industry, generating nearly$21 billion in annual economic ac-tivity and employing more than80,000 South Dakotans. The SouthDakota Department of Agricul-ture's mission is to promote, pro-tect, preserve and improve this in-dustry for today and tomorrow.

A column by Gov. Dennis Daugaard

Just a year ago, SouthDakotans were responding torecord flooding, and many peoplewondered when the water wouldgo down. How quickly thingschange.

I recently attended the firstmeeting of the South DakotaDrought Task Force, a group I con-vened in response to an unprece-dented string of hot, dry days andnights. A smaller group of repre-sentatives of state agencies hasbeen meeting regularly for severalweeks, monitoring the weather,following fire reports, and trackingforage and crop conditions. Withdrought conditions spreadingacross much of the state, weneeded to formalize those meet-ings and add more players to theconversation.

Thirty-five South Dakota coun-ties are listed as "severe" on theU.S. Drought Monitor. We've al-ready had more than 300 wild-fires this year. Most of the state

The South Dakota Lottery iswarning the public to be on guardagainst a scam in which individu-als are being asked to pay moneyto collect a lotto prize.

In recent days, the Lottery hasbeen notified by several peoplewho say they were contacted by anindividual claiming to be with theMega Millions lotto game. Thecaller allegedly told the personthey had won a Mega Millions cashprize but could not claim their win-nings without making a paymentfirst. In one case, the individualcontacted did pay the scammerthen contacted the South DakotaLottery to complain that they hadnot received their prize.

Lottery Executive DirectorNorm Lingle says scam operationssuch as this are not uncommon; hecautions South Dakota players tobe careful.

“Some of these scammers evengo so far as to use real game namesand logos of legitimate lotteries tomake their pitch sound more con-vincing. They also sometimes pro-vide a contact name or phone num-ber that when called back, willlead to an answering machine orbe routed to a remote location,”Lingle said. “An easy rule ofthumb is that if something soundstoo good to be true, it probably is.”

Lingle offers the public sometips on how to recognize and avoida scam:

•Never accept a collect phonecall from someone claiming to be alottery official. •Never cash or claim a lotteryticket for someone you don’t know.

Lottery warns of Mega Millions scam •Never give your credit cardnumbers, bank account numbers,or other personal information toanyone trying to sell you a lotteryticket, membership in a lotterypool, or promising a prize. •Beware of letters, email orphone calls offering you a guaran-teed prize. The South Dakota Lot-tery does not guarantee you aprize, only a chance of winningone. •Beware of “urgent” solicita-tions that require a quick re-sponse. •Buy lottery tickets only fromauthorized South Dakota Lotteryretailers.

The public is also reminded thatthe South Dakota Lottery does not:

•Require a winner to pay moneyupfront to claim a prize. •Require personal informationsuch as social security numbers orbank account numbers from win-ners over the phone. Prizes of $101or more must be claimed at aSouth Dakota Lottery office usingan official claim form. •Require a short response timeto cash or claim a winning ticket.Winners have 180 days to claimtheir prize, regardless of the game. •Enter someone into a drawing,promotion for an added bonus orprize, or for any other reason with-out their knowledge.

If you have been contacted aspart of the current Mega Millionsor any scam, you are advised to re-port the scam to the S.D. AttorneyGeneral’s Consumer ProtectionUnit at 1-800-300-1986 or [email protected].

The Drought Task Forcehas seen above-average tempera-tures for several weeks, and manyareas have been without any sig-nificant precipitation for sometime. Last month was the driestJune in history for Vermillion,Yankton, and Sioux Falls.

Activating the Drought TaskForce allows us to bring togetherall levels of government and allsources of information for directcommunication. Our goal is togather the best, most current dataavailable and make sure SouthDakotans have access to that in-formation as quickly as possible.

Many of our citizens are undergreat stress from the drought, andmany have questions. TheDrought Task Force is the forumwhere citizens can ask those ques-tions and get the best possible an-swers.

Each of us needs to do what wecan to help our fellow SouthDakotans. That’s how we made itthrough last year’s flooding, andthat's how we'll get through thisnew test, together.

and their great trip abroad? Whata great opportunity! Lloyd and I have been enjoyinglittle “run-away-for-the-day” tripsto the Black Hills to picnic by lakeswe enjoy. Though the tempera-tures was some what cooler thanhome, it was warm. But beautiful! An afternoon visit with JeanLinn; Kellie Linn, Dorothy Ander-son and I got together for a sillyand multi-ruled game of dominoesThursday (26th). Someone saidlaughter is the best medicine andit would follow that we all cameaway from Jean’s home totallyhealed of whatever we might have!The game was such fun it would bea shame to spoil it by learning thecorrect rules! It was good therapyfor Jean’s hand as well! She isworking hard to recover from theeffects of the stroke she had lastspring. Lloyd had an emergency visit tothe VA hospital on Saturday morn-ing. His problem was diagnosed asan infection of the inner ear. Hewas terribly nauseated, couldhardly stand or walk. Medicationto treat the symptoms has helped.Another visit to Ft.

by Pastor Ricky Kurth“I am become a fool in glory-

ing; ye have compelled me: forI ought to have been com-mended of you: for in nothingam I behind the very chiefestapostles, though I be nothing”(II Cor. 12:11).

The Apostle Paul did not liketo “glory” or boast about hisapostleship. He would muchrather spend his time teachingthe great truths of the Mystery,and the Word of God, rightly di-vided. However, the immaturityof the Corinthians “compelled”him to such boasting. Theywere so impressed with theboasting of the “false apostles”(11:13) that Paul was forced tospeak to them in the only lan-guage they seemed to under-stand—that of boasting.

Grace believers are often ac-cused of boasting too muchabout the apostleship of Paul,and to this we plead guilty. Wetoo would much rather spendour time teaching the greattruths of the Word of God,rightly divided. However, thesorry state of modern Christian-ity is such that we too are “com-pelled” to boast about Paul’sapostleship. The immaturity ofcontemporary Christianity hascaused them to overlook Paulas “the apostle of the Gentiles”(Rom. 11:13), and presents uswith a compelling reason to em-phasize his apostleship.

Paul found the Corinthian sit-uation especially disappointing,since as he told them, “I oughtto have been commended ofyou.” As the one who had be-gotten them in the gospel (ICor. 4:15), they should have

been singing the praises of hisapostleship, instead of forcinghim to defend it. And so it istoday. All who are saved in thedispensation of Grace aresaved by grace through faithapart from works (Eph. 2:8,9), agospel that is exclusive to theApostle Paul. And so in a veryreal sense, all who are savedtoday are begotten of the Apos-tle Paul, and should be singingthe praises of his apostleship,instead of forcing us to defendit.

The false apostles in Corinthwere probably protesting, “Why,Paul isn’t even one of thetwelve apostles! We have asmuch authority as he has!” Thisforced Paul to declare that hewas “not a whit behind” the verychiefest apostles, i.e., James,Peter and John. But if Paul onlyclaimed he wasn’t “behind” thetwelve apostles, why do we in-sist on emphasizing his epistlesahead of the epistles of James,Peter and John?

Ah, Paul’s apostleship wasequal to theirs, but he was theapostle of a different group ofpeople. As he told the Gala-tians, “He that wrought effectu-ally in Peter to the apostleshipof the circumcision, the samewas mighty in me toward theGentiles” (2:8). All state gover-nors are equal in authority; nogovernor is a whit behind anyother. However, if I am wise, Imust recognize the authority ofthe governor of my state. And ifwe are wise as Christians, wemust likewise recognize the au-thority of “the apostle of theGentiles.”

FINANCIAL FOCUSFiNANCiAL TiPS FOR

NEWLY SiNGLE WOMEN

Richard Wahlstromwww.edwardjones.com

Within a marriage, a man and awoman’s financial circumstancesare generally pretty much equal.But if a divorce occurs, thewoman’s situation tends to besomewhat more challenging thanthat of her ex-spouse. And that’swhy, during this major life transi-tion, you may want to meet with aprofessional financial advisor to goover your spending needs and yourcash flow, so that you know whatyou absolutely need today — andhow you can plan for tomorrow. Before we get into some possiblesteps you can take, let’s look atsome of the reasons that womenmay fare worse than men, finan-cially speaking, following a di-vorce: •Lower income — The averagewoman’s family income drops by37% after divorce, according to theU.S. Census Bureau. In manycases, divorce exacerbates a situa-tion in which women were alreadytrailing men in earnings. In fact,women still only earn 77 cents foreach dollar earned by men, accord-ing to the U.S. Bureau of LaborStatistics.

•Smaller retirement accounts —The average balance on women’sdefined contribution plans (such as401(k) plans) is only 60% of men’saverage balances, according toLIMRA, a financial services re-search organization. Of course, “averages” are justthat — averages. But whether yourecognize yourself in the abovenumbers or not, consider thesesuggestions: •Create an emergency fund. Tryto put six months’ to a year’s worthof living expenses in a liquid ac-count. Once you’ve established thisemergency fund, you won’t have todip into long-term investments topay for unexpected costs, such asan expensive car repair, a new fur-nace or a large medical bill. •Contribute as much as you canafford to your retirement accounts.Even if you will eventually receivesome of your ex-spouse’s retire-ment funds, you need to take fulladvantage of your own savings op-portunities — because it’s prettyhard to save “too much” for retire-ment. If money is tight, it won’t al-ways be easy, but contribute asmuch as you can to your 401(k) orsimilar employer-sponsored retire-ment plan. At a minimum, put inenough to earn the employer’smatch, if one is offered.

•Rebalance your investmentportfolio. If you are now investingfor yourself, you’ll want to take aclose look at your asset mix tomake sure it is appropriate foryour situation. For example, yourrisk tolerance may be quite differ-ent than that of your ex-spouse’s.So if you now have total controlover an investment portfolio, youneed to make sure it reflects yourneeds and preferences. Conse-quently, you may need to “rebal-ance” your holdings. •Above all, get some help. Asmentioned above, now is a goodtime to meet with a financial advi-sor. And if you don’t have much ex-perience in managing your fi-nances, you may even find it help-ful to work with a trust company,which can collaborate with your fi-nancial provider to manage yourassets and also provide a variety ofother functions, including bill pay-ment and record keeping. A trustcompany’s services can prove espe-cially valuable to you and yourfamily should you ever become in-capacitated. Unfortunately, a divorce mayleave you feeling “at sea” in manyareas of your life. But by followingthe above suggestions, you can atleast help keep your financial shipin calmer waters.

There is much potential in a seed.Take for instance the lowly seedwithin the acorn that grows into amighty oak tree. It is my belief thatone should never underestimate thepower of a seed, whether planted inthe ground or into a life. Let's take amoment to consider the types of seedsthat have been planted into your life. Someone, somewhere, somehow hasinstilled (or planted) in each of us cer-tain seeds of beliefs and values, infor-mation and knowledge, skills and at-titudes, which have born the fruit thatmakes us who we are today. I am surethat there were parents, relatives,teachers, and other role models, thathave guided and helped you makeright choices and decisions along yourpath, right? I know for a fact that Ihave had these key people in my lifeplanting seeds in me. How fortunatewe are! During these difficult and challeng-ing times it is vital that we tap intoour own personal core strengths, val-ues, traditions, attitudes, principles,and beliefs that when combined willnot only sustain us but strengthen usfurther in the weeks, months andyears ahead. Dig deep, search your-self, truly be honest and identify whatit is that makes you, you. This is re-ferred to as tapping into your personalpotential, and is very similar inprocess to taking off the shell of theacorn nut to release the seed. For over two decades now I havebeen writing a series of articles I callSeeds of Success. It has been a journeyof exposing my heart, my head, myfailures, my successes and sharingthem with whomever may read andheed. I must say this has not been aneasy process. Actually, sometimes ithas been quite brutal. Exposing inti-mate parts of my life to others techni-cally has both its positive and negativeconsequences and I have discoveredthem each. Originally, I thought thiswould help me process information formy motivational talks and presenta-tions that I give around the UnitedStates. Ultimately, it has enriched mein multiple ways that I would have

never dreamed possible. With the release of my first book,Home Grown Seeds of Success, andthen having a few newspapers aroundthe region picking up my articles topublish them for their readers, hasbeen very humbling and yet has chal-lenged me, to press on in my writingskills and speaking craft. Let it benoted, I attribute much of my successto my parents: my dad who taught methe discipline of hard work, and mymom who always encouraged me toutilize the creativity within me tosolve life's challenges. As I live out my passions, focus on

my priorities, and work on my goals Ifind that I am naturally tapping intomy inner core of all that has beenplanted in me throughout my entire

life, which has brought greater joy andhappiness into my life as I keep dig-ging and digging. Not only that, butthis process helps me to plant positiveseeds in others-our children, ourgrandchildren, and the thousands ofpeople I am fortunate to speak to eachyear. The best part and the good news isthat if this incredible life managementsystem will work for me it will workfor anybody who applies it. The toughpart is actually doing it. Rigorous dis-ciplines and accountabilities are re-quired for continued success in the ap-plication of what we have learned. The big question is what kinds ofseeds are you planting in the lives ofothers? I surely expect that they areseeds of joy, peace, success, humility,creativity, and so on-what I refer to asthe good seeds. Deliberate implementation of theabove attitudes will cause you to digdeep into your inner core where youwill find the seed of new birth planted,which can ultimately release your Godgiven potential and help to truly livethe incredible life of which you havealways dreamed.

At the Core there is a Seed

Hidden Sweets An unknown author once said

“Stressed spelled backwards isdesserts. Coincidence? I thinknot!” and another unidentified au-thor said, “A balanced diet is acookie in each hand”, wouldn’t it begreat if that was true? Most indi-viduals are attracted to sweets.They enjoy the sweet taste of food.

The average American consumesabout 22 teaspoons of added sugara day which equals 335 calories orabout 90 grams. For many peo-ple, added sugars are a hiddensource of extra calories that canmake it hard to stay at a healthybody weight. Common sources ofsugar are sweetened beveragessuch as sodas, fruit juices, energydrinks, sports drinks, fancy coffeebeverages, desserts, candy andbreakfast cereals.

Sugars improve the flavor offoods. In addition to improving thetexture and color of baked goods,they also help to thicken, firm, orpreserve jams and jellies. Simplesugars and complex carbohydratesor starches occur naturally in

many foods that also supply othernutrients, including milk, fruits,vegetables, grains and cereals. Ourbodies cannot tell the differencebetween naturally occurring andadded sugars in foods because theyare chemically the same.

The 2010 Dietary Guidelines forAmericans and USDA My Platerecommend that people choose andprepare foods and beverages withlittle added sugars or caloricsweeteners. The American HeartAssociation suggests that addedsugar should be limited to no morethan six - seven percent of yourtotal calories. This does not in-clude naturally occurring sugarsfound in fruits (fructose) and dairyproducts (lactose).

The best way to know whichfoods and beverages are high inadded sugars is to read the Nutri-tion Facts Label and check the in-gredient list on the package. Aproduct is high in added sugar ifone of the first two or three ingre-dients listed have white sugar,brown sugar, or any other sugar-based sweetener, such as honey,

Wouldn’t it be nice if we couldjustify our sweets by calling themvegetables, as quoted by JimDavis, “Vegetables are a must on adiet. I suggest carrot cake, zuc-chini bread and pumpkin pie.” Un-fortunately that’s not the case. Trythe following tips to begin limitingadded sugar in your diet: 1) Add fresh fruit or raisins toplain ready-to-eat breakfast cere-als instead of sugar. 2) Gradually decrease sugar inrecipes by one-fourth the amountcalled for in baked items. 3) Use fresh fruit toppings forpancakes, French toast and waf-fles instead of syrup or honey. 4) Choose yogurts with non-caloric sweeteners.

Archery hunters can apply for limited access permitsIn Sioux Falls, Blood Run and Adams Homestead

the first draw, hunters may pickup additional access permits.Archery hunters may apply for afirst and second choice. “These permits will provide aunique opportunity to providehunting access on very controlledareas of public land. A limitednumber of hunters will be permit-ted to hunt on those sites in orderto control deer numbers and min-imize damage to neighboringproperties,” said Arden Petersen,regional supervisor with the De-partment of Game, Fish andParks. “To ensure safety and min-imize the impact on other parkusers and adjacent homeowners, alimited number of access permitsare being issued to archeryhunters only.” The Sioux Falls Archery Antler-less Deer Permit will also will bevalid from October 1 – December31, and will once again allowhunting on 11 designated zonesin the northeastern part of the city. "This is the third year of theSioux Falls hunt, which was cre-ated through a cooperative agree-ment with Game, Fish and Parks,the City of Sioux Falls andlandowners as a means of reducingthe population of deer in the city",Petersen said. Each zone will have seven sets oftwo-week archery hunting inter-

vals, for a total of 77 permits. One change from last year is thatwhen applying for access permits,hunters will now be able tochoose which interval period theywish to hunt. The hunter will beassigned a zone, if successful inthe draw. People will be able tochoose a first and second choice ofinterval periods. However, peopleapplying for the Disabled Unitwill be assigned their session inthe draw. The season interval periods forthe Sioux Falls Access Permits areas follows: •September 26 – October 9 •October 10 – 23 •October 24 – November 6 •November 7 – 20 •November 21 – December 4 •December 5 – 18 •December 19 – January 1 Disabled Unit – Hunt dates willbe assigned by draw. If drawn for any of the SiouxFalls access permits, hunters mustattend a mandatory meeting priorto hunting. Successful Access Per-mit Holders will be notified byGFP about the dates and places forthose meetings.

Jeffrey Zimprich, State Conser-vationist, of USDA’s Natural Re-sources Conservation Service,Huron, says field offices aroundthe state are ready to provide in-formation and assistance to farm-ers hit hard by the drought.NRCS administers a number ofFarm Bill programs that providetechnical and financial assistanceto farmers and ranchers to installconservation practices. Zimprich said, “The prolongedand extreme heat temperaturescoupled with lack of rain is creat-ing situations in some areas ofSouth Dakota where some produc-ers may be forced to make criticalchanges to their operation.” TheSouth Dakota Governor’s DroughtTask Force web site is an excellentresource: http://drought .sd.gov/.NRCS is also encouraging produc-

Naural resources drought assistance for farmers/ranchers ers seeking advice to contact theirdistrict conservationist at the localfield office. The NRCS, along with manyagencies, are working to help pro-ducers with their present drought-related crop and livestock produc-tion needs, the agencies strength isin working with the producers tocooperatively identify the conser-vation practices and managementthat will minimize the effects of fu-ture droughts. “NRCShas a lot we can offer producerstechnically, but at this time of theyear, there is not a lot of financialassistance,” says Zimprich. “The fi-nancial assistance funds havebeen obligated for this fiscal year2012. National funding at thepresent time is being targeted to-ward the hardest hit droughtareas across the Nation. He ex-

plains, Financial funding may be-come available after October 1,2012 depending on the passage ona new Farm Bill.” “While the weather situationand soil conditions are similar tothe 1930s,” says Zimprich, “farm-ers and ranchers may be, in gen-eral, better coping with thedrought because of the lessons welearned from the Dust Bowl. Now,producers using conservation prac-tices have their natural resourcesin a better condition than 75 yearsago.” Crop residue management helpsprevent precipitation loss by re-ducing runoff and soil tempera-tures and evaporation. Ponds,pipelines and tanks can help dis-tribute water to where forage is lo-cated. Grazing plans and fencingcan manage livestock grazing to

keep forage plants healthy anddeep rooted to maximize plant sur-vival and productivity. Cover cropscan improve soil health to improvewater storage in the soil profile aswell as provide additional grazing. Livestock producers have beenespecially hard hit and NRCS hasgrazing specialists that providesuggestions about range and pas-ture management and options andconsideration for forage and watermanagement. Zimprich says, “It’simportant for producers to have abackup plan such as deferred or ro-tational grazing, alternative watersources, combining herds, reduc-ing livestock numbers, etc.” “Producers with conservationcontracts with the agency who can-not meet established practice in-stallation deadlines will have someflexibility in meeting their obliga-tions,” said Zimprich. Zimprichsuggests that producers go overtheir contracts with their districtconservationist to determine ifpractice implantation schedulesneed to be modified. Some pro-grams allow for practice substitu-tion or rescheduling of installationdates.” He adds, “Assistance isalso available for those farmersthat have established practiceswhich have failed because ofdrought.” NRCS encourages farmers thatare considering installing any en-gineered practices (such as dams,

grassed waterways, water and sed-iment control basins) to also con-sider resource conditions beforeconstruction. “These practices costa lot of money and we don’t wantto see them fail. One of the biggestconcerns is a lack of soil moisturethat would prohibit proper com-paction.” NRCS can adviselandowners and contractors on op-timum moisture levels to achievethe best outcome. Farmers and ranchers withwater, land or crop managementconcerns can get help from NRCSthrough the development of a con-servation plan. The Environmen-tal Quality Incentives Program(EQIP) has continuous signup.Zimprich encourages farmers andranchers to come in to their localoffice for ideas and future optionsfor recovering from the drought.“It also helps us,” he says, “to getan idea of the needs out on theSouth Dakota landscape so we canbe ready if and when conservationprogram funding becomes avail-able.” Conservation plans can in-clude drought planning and arefree. Being prepared helps produc-ers to continue operations even inthe most severe conditions. Con-tact the NRCS staff in your localUSDA Service Center for informa-tion about mitigating droughtdamage and specific Farm Bill pro-grams.

Option # 2: If the desire is tokeep the fire danger index cri-teria in statute but authorizecounties to regulate or prohibitthe use or sale of fireworksthrough July 5th, then SDCL34-37-19 would need to beamended to read as follows:34-37-19. County regulationof fireworks--Use of South

Dakota grassland fire dangerindex

Any county may, by resolu-tion passed at any time, regu-late or prohibit the use or saleof fireworks outside the bound-aries of any municipality duringthe period from June twenty-seventh through July fifth andDecember twenty-eighththrough January first when thefire danger, as determined byuse of the South Dakota grass-land fire danger index pub-lished by the National WeatherService, has reached, the veryhigh or extreme category inthat county during the periodfrom June twentieth to July fifthinclusive, and during the periodfrom December twenty-eighthto January first, inclusive. Dur-ing any such period, thecounty's action is suspended ifthe grassland fire danger indexfalls below the very high cate-gory and again becomes effec-tive if the grassland fire dangerindex reaches the very high orextreme category. A violation ofthis section is a Class 2 misde-meanor.


Option # 3: The third optionwould be to keep July 3-5 freeof any regulation by countiesbut clean up the statute so it ismore easily understood as fol-lows:34-37-19. County regulationof fireworks--Use of South

Dakota grassland fire dangerindex

Any county may, by resolu-tion passed at any time, regu-late or prohibit the use or saleof fireworks outside the bound-aries of any municipality duringthe period from June twenty-seventh through July secondand December twenty-eighththrough January first, when thefire danger, as determined byuse of the South Dakota grass-land fire danger index pub-lished by the National WeatherService, has reached the veryhigh or extreme category inthat county during the periodfrom June twentieth to Julysecond, inclusive, and duringthe period from Decembertwenty-eighth to January first,inclusive. During any such pe-riod, the county's action is sus-pended if the grassland firedanger index falls below thevery high category and againbecomes effective if the grass-land fire danger index reachesthe very high or extreme cate-gory.
