Sadler Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken. Habakkuk 2:15 There are many passages in the Word of God, such as the above reference, that are timeless principles. While the alcohol industry goes to great lengths to get people to believe that drinking is a harmless way to have a good time, the facts are otherwise. It is very careful never to advertise the alcoholic who is dying of cirrhosis of the liver or the homes that have been destroyed by strong drink. And of course, theres always a voice in the crowd that says a few social drinks will never hurt anyone. Most recovering alcoholics, however, tell a much different story of how their slide into a life of drunkenness all start- ed with social drinking. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise (Prov. 20:1). Many years ago, I was driving through Apollo, Pennsylvania, where I saw a mangled piece of wreckage alongside of the road. Upon slowing down, I discovered it was an automobile, or at least what was left of it. Apparently someone survived the crash because there were beer cans strategically placed beside the car with a sign, which read, And they told us we were going to have fun! Someone lied. Contrary to the worlds view that alcoholism is a disease, the Word of God calls drunkenness a sin (Gal. 5:19-21). Excessive drinking is not a disease; it is a matter of choice. Although some drunkards overcome their addiction through programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, apart from faith, all too often they return to their drinking ways when confronted with a crisis. The worlds answer to the problems of this life is, I need a drink. However, the answer is not found in the bottom of a bottle. The answer is a personal relationship with Christ! Everyone reading these lines has a family member, a dear friend, or a neighbor who struggles with this temptation. Yes, even believers wrestle with this sin, as Paul makes very clear: Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness.But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to ful- fill the lusts thereof (Rom. 13:12-14). The best thing we can do for those who grapple with this addiction is to show them our love and support. It is important to share with them that they are dead to this sin in Christ and therefore, it doesnt have to control their life any longer. Since alcoholism is such a deeply seated problem, encourage them to search out a godly pastor or Christian counselor who can assist them in a better understanding of Romans, Chapter 6. Two minutes with the bible Gleanings from the Prairie Have you ever thought about it?,IF YOU COULD HAVE MERITED YOUR SALVATION, IT WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN NECESSARY FOR JESUS TO DIE. All have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD (Romans 3:23). Behold the LAMB of GOD Who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). JESUS said, Come unto ME, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28). The Bible A-B-Cs show us that (1) In ourselves we are RUINED. (2) In CHRIST we are REDEEMED. (3) We are saved when CHRIST is RECEIVED. (A) SIN has Ruined ALL --- Isa- iah 53:6 --- ALL we like sheep have gone astray: we have turned EVERY ONE to his own way: and the LORD has laid on HIM (JESUS) the iniquity of us ALL. The fact of SIN in our natures cannot be denied. We are held with the cords of our sins (Proverbs 5:22). David wrote in Psalm 51:5, Behold, I was shaped in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Consider the sins of a life-time --- in thought, act, deed, omis- sion. Only by GODs provision can they be blotted out. (B) CHRIST has Redeemed ALL. The Apostle Paul wrote in Gala- tians 3:13, CHRIST has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us. And the Apostle Peter observed, HE (CHRIST) bore our sins in HIS own body on the tree (I Peter 2:24). This is the ONLY ANSWER to the sin problem. As someone else so keenly observed, The CROSS is the PLUS SIGN of our MINUS lives. (C) FAITH saves ALL who RECEIVE CHRIST. JESUS said, Him who comes to ME I will in no wise cast out (John 6:37). And as the Apostle John wrote concerning the LORD JESUS, To as many as receive HIM (John 1:12). The Prophet Isaiah recorded, Return unto ME, for I have redeemed you (Isaiah 44:22). What does HE say of those who RECEIVE? Note the balance of Isaiah 44:22 --- I have blotted out as a thick cloud ALL your transgressions. What if --- TODAY --- your life would be cut off? Have you RECEIVED the LORD JESUS CHRIST as your Savior from sin? JESUS died for me & you! We could never merit salvation! by Pastor Alvin L. Gwin Community Bible Church, Murdo The A-B-Cs of LIFE Too grown up Second grade teacher Teresa Palmer, left, tells first grade teacher Marcie Schmidt that the shoes she picked out are too grown up for her to wear.

Shoe poem From left to right: Hunter Vevig, Rudy Edwards, Sophie Dowling and Ramona Vasquez. Students read poems about shoes as part of their party. First and second grades host shoe-themed reading party by Karlee Moore Thursday, May 16 was a special day for the first and second grades as they hosted a thank-you party for the community ladies who took time every week to read with them. First grade teacher Marcie Schmidt and second grade teacher Teresa Palmer, along with their students, planned and hosted a shoe themed party that included poems, a song, reading together, and shoe shaped treats. More than 20 ladies from the community read with the first and second grade classes all year, once every week. These ladies take time out of their week to help the stu- dents with their reading and to get to know the classes. The students read shoe poems during the party and some told jokes. Dylan Fuoss stood in front of the group and told the ladies his joke, Heres a shopping tip: You can get shoes for $0.85 at the bowl- ing alley! Palmer and Schmidt put on a skit teaching the ladies and the students how picking shoes are a lot like picking books. Schmidt picked out shoes for Palmer. Some were too big, too long, too boring, too pink, too grown up and too young. She finally found a pair that was just right, and ended up finding a book to match. The party ended with snacks including shoe shaped cookies, drinks and visiting with their new friends.

Main Street Madness was a Fri- day afternoon and evening activi- ty, just a small part of the now- famous Murdo in May, invented and sponsored for 22 years by the Pioneer Auto Museum and Dave Geisler. Modern Woodmen of America member Wanda Larson, who tend- ed registration at the vendor show, said her total of guests who signed in numbered 179. Eleven vendors took part in the show, featuring everything from skin and hair products, jewelry, clever contain- ers, bags, purses, belts and tee shirts to peacock feather creations, free Bible study books and trinkets as well as books by local authors Mike McMillan and Dee LeRoye. The Watkins lady was there with flavorings, seasonings and numer- ous handmade and handy things like rugs and pot scrubbers. Modern Woodmen of America youth member Elijah Roghair, who headed up the matchbox-sized car races in front of First Fidelity Bank, reported a lively bunch of young car race enthusiasts. Win- ning drivers included Corwin Dyk- stra, Bridger Hight, Kaden Kins- ley, Morgan Feddersen, Mathew Gross, and LeRoy Bud Gross IV. Race winners got to keep the new car they raced or if they had pro- vided their own car, they received a dollar bill, courtesy of Okaton Modern Woodmen. Coloring contest winners included three-year-old BreAna Aske, five-year-old Asa Best, six- year-old Bre Jackson, seven-year- old Kaden Kinsley, eight-year-old Jolie Dugan, nine-year-old Taylor Feddersen and eleven-year-old Jessica Roghair. Four of those win- ners were the only entry in their age group and there were zero entries in age 10. Keep an image of a prize in the back of your mind for next years competition. The Senior Art competition prize of $10 was won by Darian Roghair. Her winning entry was a pencil rendition of a Model A Ford entitled Picnic on the Niobrara. The idea for her artwork came from a photo taken in 1939, which featured her great-grandparents Les and Helen Caldwell, Great- uncle Louie Caldwell and his little daughter Carolie. Apparently, Great-aunt Irene Caldwell took the photo. All of the above-named persons were living in Jones Coun- ty at the time. Only three chefs entered the pie contest, so if you werent quick on the buy, you did not get to sample any of those fabulous creations. All three chefs returned their $10 prize to the benefit of the Turner Youth Foundation. With those donations and the sales of ice cream (adults) and pie, around $94 was contributed to the Founda- tion. Okaton Modern Woodmen donated ice cream coupons to par- ticipating youngsters, but adults had to buy their frozen confection. Ron Lebeda of Draper was over- heard to say, That rhubarb pie was absolutely delicious. Although a hula hoop spinning contest as well as dance-offs and air-drum/guitar competitions were planned, lightning, thunder and a couple showers sent folks running for cover, so those fun ideas are shelved until next Main Street Madness, planned for 2014.

Community Section A Murdo Coyote May 23, 2013 Page 5 Prairie Home Ladies meeting The PHL met at the home of Margie Boyle on Wednesday, May 15. Chair Velma called the meet- ing to order. Roll call of medical news was answered by Rosa Lee, Margie, Velma, Lila Mae, Ellouise and Janet. It brought on lots of conversing over different medical problems, shots, etc. Secretary Margie read the minutes of the last meeting, approved. Treasurer Rosa Lee gave the treasurers report, approved. Old business: Velma is busy working on a quilt to be raffled off at our fall bazaar. It was decided not to have a spring/summer tea. New business: The upcoming Mission Fair to be held in Pierre in September was discussed. We will be filling school bags for that, plus any other kits the members want to make. Our bazaar has been set for October 6. Lila Mae will take care of getting the meat ordered. Adjourned. Janet then gave the lesson. She read an article Communicating with your friend, prayer is an appeal to the friendship of God taken from the book Love Out Loud by Joyce Meyer; also an article from Gods Little Devotion- al Book and a poem about the closings of Vivian and Draper schools written by Tom Authier in 1986. Margie served a delicious pineapple upside down cake topped with cool whip, coffee or tea. Senior from Gardner earns Fulbright Scholarship Baker University student Syd- ney Doster, a senior from Gardner, Kan., and a 2009 graduate of Gardner-Edgerton High School, has received a Fulbright Scholar- ship for the 2013-2014 academic year to Nepal, where she will teach English. Doster, a French and Spanish major, will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree on May 19. She leaves in July for Nepal, where she will teach for eight months. Interested in the languages since high school when she was selected as a Rotary Youth Exchange student, Doster has studied in Switzerland, Spain and Peru. I am passionate about learning languages and traveling, Doster said. One of the best ways to extend to other people is to teach your own language somewhere else. I enjoy the process, the frus- tration and the reward of having to learn a language. At Nepal, she will work along- side a teacher, instructing stu- dents ranging from elementary school to high school. I will live with a host family and will be totally immersed in the culture, she said. I will have an extra opportunity to study the Nepali language. The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships Program, an ele- ment of the Fulbright U.S. Stu- dent Program, places U.S. stu- dents as English teaching assis- tants in schools or universities overseas, thus improving foreign students English language abili- ties and knowledge of the United States while enhancing their own language skills and knowledge of the host country. Sydney is already very well- traveled, said Erin Joyce, assis- tant dean for liberal studies and professor of French. Going to Nepal will be a new adventure for her. Sydney is adventurous and Im not surprised that she chose to spend a year in a place that she has never visited, rather than choosing to go to Europe, where she has already spent a significant amount of time. I know she will be very successful and will have a wonderful experience. She is unafraid to immerse herself in new cultures and loves learning about the world. While at Baker, Doster served on the Alpha Chi Omega sorority executive board and was president of Phi Beta Delta, the honor socie- ty for students in international education. She also was the vice president of Alpha Mu Gamma, Bakers honor society for students in foreign languages, and vice president of Sigma Delta Pi, the Hispanic honor society. The Fulbright Scholar embraced the Baldwin City cam- pus experience. She was an orien- tation leader and Salon leader, providing a welcoming experience in which students learn college success skills and reflect on their overall learning. I selected Baker because I wanted to live close to home, Doster said. I knew I would be more successful in a small class environment, and Baker felt right. Her parents are Charles Doster of Gardner and Vicki and Roger Stiles of Spring Hill, Kan. She is the granddaughter of Margie Esmay and the niece of Wayne and Lorrie Esmay. Doster is Bakers first Fulbright Scholar since Justine Grieve taught English in Germany in 2009-2010. New Commissioner of School and Public Lands announced Gov. Dennis Daugaard announced today that he will appoint Vern Larson of Vivian as Commissioner of School and Pub- lic Lands. Vern Larson is well-known to South Dakotans, and the voters have placed their confidence in him again and again, said Gov. Daugaard. As State Auditor and State Treasurer, Vern was a pru- dent steward of state assets, and I know he will bring that same sound management to the Office of School and Public Lands. Last month, Commissioner Jar- rod Johnson resigned from office, effective August 15. The Gover- nors appointment of Larson will be effective at the same time. Lar- son will serve out the remainder of the term, which ends in January 2015, but he will not be a candi- date for the office in 2014. Im honored and humbled to accept this appointment, said Larson. I look forward to serving our state in this office. Larson is a native of Vivian. He was elected State Auditor in 1978 and re-elected five times, serving from 1979-2003. In 2002, he was elected State Treasurer, serving two terms from 2003-2011. BHSU graduates encouraged to become productive global citizens Thousands of family, friends, faculty, and staff packed into the Donald E. Young Sports and Fit- ness Center recently to wish good luck to the more than 400 Black Hills State University graduates awarded master, bachelor and associate degrees during the 165th Commencement Ceremony. All of us look forward to watch- ing your careers advance, said BHSU President Kay Schal- lenkamp. As you move into your careers as global citizens seek not only to be understood but seek to understand. Out of the more than 400 BHSU graduates, there were 34 Native American students who were awarded master, bachelor and associate degrees, the highest number in the Universitys history. The graduating class also included international students from Peru, Viet Nam, Korea, Japan and Swe- den. Dr. John Alsup BHSU professor of mathematics and faculty senate president, gave the keynote address encouraging students to live life to the fullest and be thank- ful for what they have. Life is an adventure and full of opportuni- ties. Life is rich, he said. What you have to look forward to is amazing. Included in the 2013 graduates at Black Hills State University is Erica Uhlir, Magna Cum Laude, Bachelor of Science in Professional Accountancy. Erica is the daughter of Chris and Beth Feddersen of Murdo and a 2009 Jones County High School graduate. Noem standing up for South Dakota agriculture by Rep. Kristi Noem When I was young, my dad put us kids to work on the family farm. We were often of bed before dawn, heaving bales, caring for cattle and working in the field. We also learned how to drive tractors, fix machinery and put in long days. Although we didnt realize it at the time, we were learning about a profession thats not only impor- tant to our family, but a profession that provides food for families, our country and the world. South Dakotas agriculture industry helps provide the back- bone and foundation for the values that make our state great. Our producers work hard to care for our states number one industry and they also teach their kids how to care for the land and livestock so that, someday, future genera- tions can take over the family operation. This week, the House Agricul- ture Committee passed the Farm Bill with bipartisan support. South Dakota producers deserve the long-term certainty that comes with the passage of a five-year Farm Bill and thats why I worked to make sure policies important to our state were included in the bill. The House Agriculture Commit- tees new Farm Bill will save near- ly $40 billion through the elimina- tion of direct payments, consolida- tion of conservation programs and the implementation of the first reforms to the food stamp program since 1996. Its important to exam- ine the food stamp program and close loopholes in order to crack down on waste, fraud and abuse so we can keep the integrity of the program intact and ensure assis- tance goes to those who need it most. I believe we need to hold the federal government accountable to the taxpayers, and this bill is a step in the right direction. My position on the House Agri- culture Committee gave me the opportunity to help mold this bill and make sure policies important to South Dakota were included. I worked to include livestock disas- ter assistance, forestry provisions to help fight the pine beetle in the Black Hills, conservation and sod- saver protections, and the estab- lishment of a permanent Tribal Relations office in the Department of Agriculture. I was also able to speak up on behalf of the farmers and ranchers who were affected by the Pautre Fire in northwestern South Dakota and make sure we included language to direct the Forest Service to assist landown- ers through the claims process. Im hopeful that we will be able to get the Farm Bill to the House floor quickly and work out the dif- ferences between the House and Senate bills before the end of the summer. Agriculture is such an important part of our national security. The moment we stop growing our own food is the moment we let another country control us. I will continue to fight to get a Farm Bill passed that is good for South Dakota and our nation.

Those in atten- dance included: John Brunskill, Steve Iwan, Monte Anker, Helen Louder, Marlene Knutson, Krysti Barnes, Bruce Royer, Shannon and JayTee Sealey, Bud Anderson and Karlee Moore. The commissioners approved the Murdo Golf Club for a malt beverage license renewal. Brun- skill told the commissioners that C.J. Rea needed a couple of loads of gravel on his road. Royer joined the meeting and discussed summer help options with the commissioners. Knutson joined the meeting at 10:00 and spoke about the TIGER grant that is supporting the rail expansion west. Knutson recom- mended the county write a letter of support on Jones County letter- head. Anker made a motion to pass a resolution to support the grant and expansion. She also introduced a cop grant. This is a grant for three years that will cover personnel only. The deadline for the grant is May 22. Anker said, I dont think we are interested. Barnes also spoke to the commissioners about the grant and said that the city was interest- ed in it, but would need the coun- tys support. Iwan agreed with Anker and said his opinion was to stay away from the grant. The commissioners then dis- cussed a veterans memorial with Knutson. Anker said he would set up a committee and Louder asked Knutson to find out how much the county would be able to spend on the memorial. Shannon and JayTee Sealey were next on the agenda and asked about the status of gravel- ing their road just south of the golf course. Anker said it was the coun- tys policy to gravel the road. He said they needed to build the shoulders up, but it could be done by July 1. Anderson, independent public relations contractor for Tran- sCanada, met with the Commis- sioners to give an update on the pipeline situation. He said that the company will be finished with a 72 month envi- ronmental study in July. He told the commissioners that the esti- mated property tax in the first year of business for the company in Jones County would be $1,466,00, which would increase Jones Countys annual tax base by 74 percent. He estimated this in reference to the countys 2010 property tax amount, which was $1,982,000. Sheriff Weber then spoke to the commissioners and said they had ordered a new vehicle but still needed a bumper and a grill guard for the vehicle. He also encouraged the county to consider the cops grant Knutson had spoke about. Rural Section A Murdo Coyote May 23, 2013 Page 6 SDSU Extension Wheat Walks June 11 & 12 SDSU Extension will host Wheat Walks in the Delmont and Winner areas June 11 and at the Dakota Lakes Research Farm and the Get- tysburg area on June 12, 2013. The drought and cool spring creat- ed significant challenges for win- ter wheat producers. The goal of these educational events is to help optimize the wheat producers have in place and effectively manage the crop in the future. Winter wheat producers may find these walks to be of particular interest as some SDSU Winter Wheat CPT plots have been abandoned and it is unsure how many Variety Plot Tours will be held this summer. SDSU Extension Agronomy Field and State Specialists will be on hand at each location, provid- ing expertise in plant pathology, weed control, entomology, soil fer- tility and agronomic information. Each specialist will give a brief presentation, followed by time for discussion and questions. Those attending are welcome to bring samples from their fields for the agronomists to assess. CCA credits have been applied for. Area agribusinesses have agreed to sponsor the Wheat Walks and there will be no charge to attend. Those attending will receive sever- al Extension publications, includ- ing the iGrow Wheat Best Man- agement Practices for Wheat Pro- duction in South Dakota and the Crop Protection Guide-Wheat, as long as the supply lasts.

Jones County FSA News David Klingberg Beef Council captures social media buzz The proof, they say, is in the puddingor in this case in the Twitter feed, Pinterest and Face- book postings. During the first week of May Beef Month, activity on the South Dakota Beef Industry Councils (SDBIC) social media sites more than doubled. Thats good news to SDBICs Briana Burgers, who is heading up the organizations online communica- tion efforts. Its also good news to beef producers, who want to see an impact made on the millennial population. Our focus on social media is directly linked to an important part of the councils strategic plan to target the millennial genera- tionthe 18 to 35 year olds, says Burgers, who also serves as SDBIC nutrition assistant and is a millennial herself. They are the future of our industry and the con- sumers we need to educate. Not only is reaching people in this age group critical to the suc- cess of the beef industry, says Burgers, but its also pushing the industry to communicate in new ways. Millennials are not sitting down and turning on the evening news for their information, says Burgers. They are referencing their smartphones, Facebook and Twitter, and so that is where we need to be. Its also important, she says, to understand the role each of the social media sites can play in edu- cational and marketing efforts and take advantage of their unique strengths. Individuals who seek out Twitter dont have much time, she explains. They want to scroll quickly through their Twitter feed, read facts and walk away feeling like they learned something. In response, Burgers is posting brief facts about a wide range of beef-related issues, including Beef Quality Assurance, beef nutrition, cooking tips, or SDBIC programs. On Pinterest, the online photo- sharing community, SDBIC is posting beef recipes with photo- graphs. We want to keep people excited about cooking with beef, and so its important to be continu- ally introducing new recipes and ways to prepare beef, says Burg- ers. SDBICs Facebook page is a tool to share photographs of recipes and SDIBC events as well as socializing with beef lovers around the country and world. The Facebook page is also the anchor for SDBICs Mobile Text Club, providing an opportunity for consumers to enroll for free and receive text messages informing them of current promotions on beef at local Hy-Vee grocery stores and also as a means to enter spe- cial contests. For example, during May, Mobile Text Club members can enter drawings on any of the councils social media to win tick- ets to Minnesota Twins games. Were very excited to see the growth in use of our social media sites and to see their impact, says Burgers, pointing to a recent inci- dent involving Twitter and the councils Team BEEF program which supports everyday athletes with information about the impor- tance of including lean beef in an active lifestyle. I sent out a Tweet about Team BEEF to the morning news anchors on a local TV sta- tion, explains Burgers. They instantly replied that theyd love to be a part of Team BEEF. Burg- ers responded by mailing the duo Team BEEF jerseys, which they wore on the morning news cast as they spoke positively about the program. Thats just one exam- ple, she says, of the power that lies within social media. To link to all of SDBICs social media sites, as well as discover additional information about coun- cil events and other beef-related information, go to SDBICs redesigned website at www.sdbeef.org. Thanks to a long dry spell not that long ago, we do have the capability of pumping water from wells to tanks in various pastures. This cost a pretty penny, as you might imagine, but it got us through. We can use those sys- tems again if absolutely neces- sary, but they dont do much good if there isnt any grass. Critters seem to need both feed and water. In this area where the annual rainfall only averages about eight- een inches or so, we are never all that far from drought. It worries us somewhat from time to time. We dont expect lush pastures, but we do require some growth to stay in business. It was starting to get a little scary again this spring until just lately. Now we feel quite a bit better despite having to post- pone our branding and replace the shed roof. Many areas of the world have the opposite problem than we do. They get so much constant rain that the places turn into jungles. Im not into jungles all that much and actually love our somewhat arid prairies. Its just when it gets too arid here that I fuss and start seriously applying myself to prayer. I recall the summer I spent in Georgia by the edge of a wooded area (which includes most of Georgia it seems.) When two other guys and I moved in there for Navy supply school in March or April, I thought, It will be fun to walk around in the woods this summer. Boy, was I wrong. When warmer (much warmer) weather arrived complete with almost daily rains, the woods became a jungle. You could barely walk through without a machete. Not that you would want to any- way since the hoards of huge mos- quitoes could practically eat you up alive. Air conditioned places proved to be more enjoyable than overgrown outdoor locations. There was also that place I visit- ed in Hawaii where the average rainfall was over an inch a day. Can you imagine what that would do here? Our little rivers would get as big as the Missouri, and you wouldnt be able to drive any- where that wasnt paved. In this area, we think that it takes about 20 to 25 acres to sup- port one cow for a year. We are used to that and think it com- pletely normal. East of us just a little, they need a lot fewer acres per critter, but that just turns them into wimps who dont know how to deal with lots of land. It also means many more people can live in the area and still support themselves, which is a decided disadvantage as far as Im con- cerned. Give me the wide open unpopulated areas, and Im happy as a clam. Incidentally, the one prairie res- ident that might not be too happy with the recent rainfall would be the yucca plants of which we have more that a few. Those things put on their very best flower shows in dry years so that may now be in jeopardy. Theyll still flower but maybe not with abandon. Brandings, of course, can be rescheduled. Ours is now set for the last day of this month. All the other dates between now and then were pretty much already taken. It might not rain again that day, or maybe it will. If we get into June too far, the calves might get so big that well have to have real- ly big, strong wrestlers to hold them down, but somehow well get by. We always have in the past and probably will in the future. The nice rain was completely worth the trouble. Thank you, Lord. If you want some rain, all you have to do is schedule a branding. Thats what we did, and it worked a treat. The same storm, of course, lifted the roof off the shed at the river place, tossed it over north towards the river and damaged a tractor in the process. This wasnt so great, but the rain was wel- comed. At least the strong wind didnt hurt Ted or damage his nearby house. The main problem with all this is having to reschedule branding. We had the help lined up, the fire- wood, vaccine, food for the crew and other supplies all ready to go, and now we have to fall back and regroup. The firewood isnt going anywhere. It just has to dry out. The crew can be harder to reschedule since there are lots of brandings at this time of year which makes it tricky to find enough available guys on any given date. Some of the food can be frozen and hauled out again later, but you cant keep potato salad very long or refreeze thawed beef roasts. Nevertheless, getting some moisture was worth a lot. We were starting to fuss about the lack thereof. A few ranchers were even selling some of their cattle due to a shortage of feed caused by get- ting little hay last year and not having much of anything growing yet this year. We did have a heavy snow recently, but that never brings much growth on the prairie until we get a good rain. Now, per- haps we are getting somewhere. Lookin Around Syd Iwan Standard beef cut names to ease confusion A flat iron steak by any other name is still a tender and delicious beef steak; but the fact that it has also been called other names, including top blade steak and top chuck steak, can be confusing to consumers. That is why Ron Fred- erick, executive director of the South Dakota Beef Industry Coun- cil (SDBIC), is pleased to see stan- dardization underway in the nam- ing and labeling of beef cuts. Frederick says significant updates to the Uniform Retail Meat Identity Standards (URMIS) system were approved early this year after the Beef Checkoff, in partnership with the National Pork Board, spent more than 18 months conducting research with consumers to identify what, specif- ically, will help them better under- stand the beef and pork cuts they see every day at the meat case. The resulting changes to beef nomenclature and package label- ing will provide standardized cut names and basic information on fresh beef preparation. Its a change that SDSU Meat Specialist Dr. Keith Underwood says should make for a more con- sumer-friendly beef purchase experience. Research has shown that if consumers are confused about a cut of meat, instead of try- ing a new value cut like the flat iron, for example, theyll go back to purchasing the three or four cuts they are familiar with and with which theyve had success in the past, explains Underwood. Con- fusion is a roadblock that can keep them from branching out and try- ing new cuts. In addition to simplifying the name cuts of beef, Underwood says a recommended new label format that will clearly and concisely dis- play the name cuts of beef and include basic use and preparation information is a plus for con- sumers and beef producers alike. There are some cuts that may not react best to dry heat cooking like grilling or broiling, he says, but might need to be braised or are great in a stir-fry, for example. Helping the consumer know how best to utilize and cook that specif- ic beef cut will help provide them with a much more positive eating experience. Underwood says that while the URMIS standards are not man- dated, he expects larger retailers to come on board more quickly, while smaller retailers may take longer to transition to the new labeling and name standards. To assist retailers, he says the Beef Checkoff, Pork Checkoff and American Lamb Board are funding www.meattrack.com, a website providing information and tools for retailers. It provides a list of adoptive common names approved for use under the standards and provides some examples of labels and other resources for retailers and training tools as they transi- tion, explains Underwood. Concludes Frederick, These new standards and the resources to help implement them are exam- ples of the ongoing efforts of the industry to make needed changes at the meat counter so shoppers can be more confident about the beef they purchase.

Present at the meeting includ- ed: Lorrie Esmay, Larry Ball, Mike Hunt, Brett Nix, Scott Mathews, Carrie Lolley, Chad Whitney, Tami Schreiber, Gary Knispel, Ashley Geigle, Cheryl Iversen, Jill Rankin and Karlee Moore. Esmay, Rankin and Geigle addressed the board concerning the addition of cheerleaders and another Charlie Coyote to the foot- ball cheerleading squad. They are judges for cheerleading tryouts and said that over the past couple years, the tryout numbers have been increasing. They suggested allowing six cheerleaders and two Charlie Coyotes. Rankin reminded the board that the girls cover their own expenses. Esmay said that the Charlie Coyote does not travel to away games, and there are already two uniforms. Rankin said that they wanted to keep seeing this many girls try out. Hunt said if the board decides to approve the proposal, they would have to lock in the number of cheerleaders and not change it on a yearly basis. The board later agreed in execu- tive session to allow six cheerlead- ers and two Charlie Coyotes. Knispel then addressed the board with the financial report. He said that the revenues and expen- ditures come out fairly close in the general fund. He told the board that he usually figures three to three and one-half percent of carry over for the budget each year. Mathews asked Knispel how many years the school district has come in under budget. Knispel didnt think they had ever been over budget. The capital outlay currently has $195,000. Extra capital outlay projects this year include: resur- facing the elementary school play- ground, more equipment for the DDN technology, a fence around the football field, increased securi- ty and online books and resources. Next, the board voted for posi- tions on the SDHSAA Board of Directors. The board asked for Balls opinion on the matter. He recommended Mike Miller from Aberdeen and Dan Whalen, athlet- ic director for Pierres Riggs High School. They agreed and also voted on a SDHSAA amendment for their constitution. The board agreed to move the count date for enrollment from January back to December 1. They also approved summer contracts for the extended school year for special needs students and title students. Letters of resignation were sub- mitted by Beth Feddersen and Andrea Diehm. The board accept- ed Feddersens resignation. Discussion items included the senior class trip, which was report- ed as having gone well, negotia- tions that were discussed in execu- tive session and graduation. The board also talked about the fitness center upgrade. Ball said that they have received the new flooring that will be installed in both sides of the fitness center, as well as new replacement equip- ment. The room will be closed for a few days for the renovations. The board discussed the new waiver and said that all card holders will have to go to the high school to have their cards reactivated and to sign a waiver. Iversen asked about the possi- bility of opening the locker room in the north hallway for restroom use. She suggested leaving a key in the fitness center for the rest- rooms. Ball told the board that JayTee Sealey had asked him if the school would be interested in buying the appliances he had purchased for the school house. The school dis- trict has hired a new superintend- ent and included the home that the school owns in the offer. The board didnt make a decision dur- ing the meeting. The board went in to executive session at 6:30 p.m. and concluded the meeting immediately after. No better way to start your day! Murdo Coyote Murdo Coyote P.O. Box 465, Murdo, SD 57559 605-669-2271 South Dakota American Legion Boys State The American Legion, Depart- ment of South Dakota State Head- quarters in Watertown reported that the 71st Annual Session of The American Legion Boys State of South Dakota will convene on the campus of Northern State Uni- versity on Monday, May 27. The American Legion is gearing up to welcome up to 360 young men, all between their junior and senior years in high school, from all across South Dakota for this years session. Ty Wiley, of Sioux Falls, (a senior this year at Washington High School) who was elected Gov- ernor at the 70th Annual Session, will serve as the leader of this years session until the new gover- nor is elected on Thursday, May 30th. This years session will end on Friday, May 31. Boys state participants selected from Jones County High School include: Skyler Miller and Jackson Volmer. The five-day session, part of The American Legions American- ism Program, is one of the most respected and selective education- al programs of government instruction for high school stu- dents in the nation. South Dakota American Legion Boys State start- ed in Aberdeen in 1940 and contin- ued through 1942. World War II made it necessary to drop the activity from 1943-1945, but in 1946 South Dakota American Legion Boys State was resumed. American Legion Boys State is a participatory program where each boy becomes a part of the opera- tion of his local, county and state government. The boys will be exposed to the rights and privi- leges, the duties and responsibili- ties of a citizen. The training is objective and practical with city, county and state government oper- ated by elected and appointed offi- cials duly placed in office by the participants. Activities include legislative sessions, court proceed- ings, law enforcement presenta- tions, assemblies, bands, chorus and recreational programs. Anoth- er unique aspect of American Legion Boys State is Journalism City. Journalism City offers an opportunity for additional young men to participate in the Boys State program, but from a differ- ent perspective. The participants in Journalism City are responsible for covering the events of the ses- sion, reporting and recording the proceedings, and publishing a daily newspaper, The Sunshine Scribe, each day during the ses- sion. Journalism City is directed by Pat Leary of Volga, South Dako- ta. Participants for American Legion Boys State are normally selected by local American Legion Posts following recommendations by school officials. In most cases, the expenses associated with attendance are paid by a sponsor- ing American Legion Post, a local business or another community- based organization. Approximately 60 volunteer staff members consisting of Legionnaires and educators, along with civic and government leaders will participate as counselors and advisors during the week-long pro- gram. John Slunecks of Sioux Falls and Mitchell Keena of Sioux Falls, who were selected at last years session to attend American Legion Boys Nation in Washing- ton, D.C., will also participate in this years session as junior coun- selors. The South Dakota American Legion Boys State program this year will be conducted under the direction of the Director of The American Legion Boys State of South Dakota, Gene Opbroek of Pickstown and The American Legion Boys State Board of Direc- tors. Among the famous persons who have previously attended Ameri- can Legion Boys State of South Dakota are former Senate Majori- ty Leader Tom Daschle, former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw, former Senator Larry Pressler, former South Dakota Governor Frank Farrar, USA Today founder Al Neuharth, and Astronaut Charles Gemar.

It was a huge undertaking, says John Kanta, Regional Wildlife Manager of the $160,000 project which involved more than 20 Game, Fish & Parks staff and about 175 hours of fly time. The 2013 elk aerial survey is the first to take in the entire Black Hills and was wholly funded by hunting license dollars. Flying only 40 to 50 feet above the ground, GF&P wildlife biologists scouted every square mile of the Black Hills from helicopter. Snow cover is invaluable to this effort, Kanta says. It allows us to spot the elk better in all habi- tat types and get an accurate count. When the biologists spot a group of elk, they count every ani- mal and identify the sex and age of the elk in the group. The wildlife biologists also document the per- cent of visual obstruction caused by trees or vegetation. All this data is then entered into a sighta- bility model. The model was developed using years of data collected during research conducted by South Dakota State University and is basically designed to correct for elk not seen because of a number of reasons, Kanta says. Although ground surveys are conducted annually, in order to obtain the most accurate count, Kanta says collecting the data from the air is essential. This is the absolute best way to observe elk populations. Because of the terrain it would be impossi- ble to cover the entire Black Hills from the ground, he says. A birds eye view is not only essential, it also allows the survey to be conducted in a timely fashion - because as Kanta points out, elk don't stay in one place for long. Utilizing GPS technology survey- ing is a systematic process. Our team broke the Black Hills into 254 subunits and then used GPS technology to fly and survey a specific subunit. This systematic approach ensures we dont miss anything, Kanta says. Once the surveys are complete the GF&P team compiles and enters the data collected into the sightability model to generate a population estimate. According to 2013 data, Kanta says the Black Hills elk population is healthy - but there is room for improvement. Overall we have a good popula- tion of elk. Although the heart of the Black Hills looks good, densi- ties in the eastern portion of the Hills are lower and wed like to see them increase. Survey Impacts License Numbers Kanta says a lot rides on the survey results. Each year almost 13,000 hunters vie for the coveted elk licenses through a lottery sys- tem. Last year 570 rifle licenses and 97 archery licenses were issued. According to the 2013 survey, there are just over 6,000 elk in the Black Hills including Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park. GF&P wildlife biologists will use the information gathered from the 2013 Elk Survey to develop management plans for the Black Hills. These plans include how many rifle and archery elk licens- es to issue. Without survey data we would be managing the Black Hills elk population on our best educated guess, Kanta says. The 2013 aerial survey also demonstrated the value in aerial surveys as recent ground surveys were off by about 2,000 elk. Mov- ing forward the GF&P plan to con- duct similar aerial surveys every three to five years. Prior to this years survey, our estimates were conservative, Kanta says. According to historical data, Black Hills elk numbers can vary greatly depending on the harvest pressure, lion predation, disease, vehicle strikes, weather and fire events. For example, survey data from 2000 show record high num- bers of elk following the Jasper Fire. The fire opened up a lot more habitat to elk, who like open green areas for feeding that are surrounded by forest for protec- tion, Kanta explains. However, by 2008, numbers were low, so GF&P responded by reducing the number of licenses issued. Now that numbers have begun to rebound, Kanta says hunters can expect more licenses to be made available in the years to come. GF&P also shares the data they collect with other agencies who manage wildlife within the state. This is an invaluable tool says Greg Schroeder, Chief of Natural Resources at Wind Cave National Park. Although we conduct our own surveys from the ground and have a good handle on the elk popula- tion within the park, its beneficial to have numbers from an aerial survey to compare with our ground count, Schroeder says. When it comes to managing wildlife, we can't consider ourselves an island. We're part of an entire ecosystem. Hunters can enter into the elk license lottery by either filling out a handwritten form or completing an on-line application at gfp.sd. gov and submitting a $5 nonre- fundable fee.

Emergency Medical Services Week: May 19 25, 2013 South Dakota is recognizing men and women involved in emer- gency medical services as a vital part of public safety during Emer- gency Medical Services Week, May 19 through May 25. The emergency medical servic- es system consists of emergency physicians, emergency nurses, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, firefighters, educa- tors, administrators, Gov. Dennis Daugaard said in an official proclamation. The access to qual- ity emergency care dramatically improves the survival and recov- ery rate of those who experience sudden illness or injury. The week is set aside to honor the people on the front lines of medicine, says Marilyn Rutz, Director of Emergency Medical Services in the State Department of Public Safety. These people do the job because they have a commitment to their communities and to the people who live there, Rutz said. It takes immense sacrifice and dedication, both from the respon- ders and the family members who support them. Nearly 80 percent of South Dakotas emergency medical tech- nicians are volunteers. They vol- unteer many hours to train, to keep certification and skills up to date and to provide the vital emer- gency services to their communi- ties, Rutz said. For more information about the South Dakota Emergency Medical Services, visit http://dps.sd.gov/ emergency_services/emergency_m edical_services/. The Clinical View Dr. P.E. Hoffsten HOW TO CARE FOR BLOOD CLOTS TO THE LUNGS Heart attacks are caused by a blood clot to an artery that sup- plies a part of the heart. Eighty- five percent of strokes are caused by a clot that forms in an artery that supplies a part of the brain. By the fact that these are two of the leading causes of death in the United States, there have been many medications developed to prevent arterial blood clots. Aspirin is a preventive for heart attack and stroke with a remark- able margin of safety. But venous blood clots are med- ically different than arterial blood clots. Venous blood clots cause death by blocking the circulation to the lungs. Different classes of clot preventers are used to treat venous blood clots. One of these is called warfarin, a product devel- oped in the 1950s that is still the most commonly used blood thinner that we have. It is very cumber- some to use because it requires blood tests to monitor the drug level. There are many products that interfere with warfarins effects. Green leafy vegetables decrease the warfarin effect and allow the blood to clot too easily. A host of drugs that are used in med- icine amplify the effect of warfarin and make the person more likely to bleed abnormally. New medica- tions called Pradaxa and Xarelto have recently been introduced to substitute for warfarin. These products do not require the fre- quent blood tests that warfarin does but these products are still very expensive at this point. When a venous clot is first detected, a product called heparin is immedi- ately started because warfarin takes several days to reach a ther- apeutic effect. But what does one do when the person is forming blood clots abnormally in blood vessels but bleeding in another site in the body such as a stomach ulcer. An example of such a case is described below. The gentleman was a very active farmer who unfortunately was involved in a farm accident. His left leg was crushed with resulting severe damage. But the reason for the farm accident was a stroke which caused the farm acci- dent in the first place. The gentle- man had been hospitalized and an extensive surgical treatment undertaken to save his leg. One of the common complications of injury such as this is blood clots that form in the legs. These blood clots tend to break off from where they are formed in the leg. They are then carried through the large venous blood vessels in the abdomen up to the lungs where the clots lodge blocking the circu- lation of blood through the lungs. After enough clots have formed and lodged in the lungs, the condi- tion is fatal. The standard immediate treat- ment for this problem is the use of a product called heparin which is one of the medications used to stop blood clots from forming. But in this gentlemans situation where he had a stroke with a bleed into his brain, medications to stop the blood from clotting normally can extend the stroke and result in a fatal and/or a severely disabling problem such as more brain dam- age. A way of dealing with this prob- lem was developed in the 1960s. When this dilemma of needing to anti-coagulate someone who had severe risks of bleeding occurred, some very bright thinking physi- cians invented a filter that could be placed in the persons main blood vessel (inferior vena cava) carrying blood back to the lungs. The idea was to let the filter catch blood clots in the leg in route to the lungs where the damage would occur. During the decade of the 60s, these filters were hailed as the answer to a previously major problem. In 1979, 2000 of these fil- ters were placed in individuals with the dilemma described above. By the end of the century, 50,000 filters a year were being placed to deal with the problem of people who were forming clots and yet having severe bleeding risks. And yet through all of these 40 years, there had really been no studies done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of these blood clot filters. Indeed, they had their own serious complications and side effects. The most common side effect was that the filter would become full of blood clots and block off the inferior vena cava com- pletely. This would prevent blood from returning to the heart in a normal manner and the person would develop severe swelling (edema) of the legs on both sides. There would therefore be a gain of 15-20 pounds of water in the legs making them quite swollen and potentially developing ulcers. Three articles in the most recent issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine analyze this problem. One of the articles notes that the mortality rate in individ- uals using these filters was no bet- ter than those who did not use them. There are situations such as this one where the idea is so logi- cal that nobody ever tested whether or not it worked. One of the major dictums of medical care is first, do no harm. This rule is very frequently broken in the delivery of medical care. Defying this rule is often justified by say- ing the benefit is better than the harm it may cause. The benefit of removing the persons appendix is felt to justify the surgical compli- cations and discomfort that occur when an appendectomy is done. In my opinion, a surgeon can justifi- ably say that the persons life was saved from appendicitis even though the surgery may be uncom- fortable, occasionally complicated, and rarely fatal. The risk/benefit ratio is said to be justified. The dilemma outlined above presents a different problem. Specifically, the filters used to stop blood clots do not have an analyzed track record showing that they saved lives at all. The complications from these filters are appreciable. Whether to continue to use these filters in the future will require further research and evaluation of the results. To this time, the dilemma remains. Things are rarely simple in medicine care. South Dakota joins Million Hearts Movement The South Dakota Department of Health is joining the Million Hearts initiative by encouraging people to take the online pledge to live longer, healthier lives. Were excited for what Million Hearts can do for the overall health of South Dakota. By taking the Million Hearts pledge, people have the opportunity to turn awareness into positive action to improve their health, said Linda Ahrendt administrator for the Office of Chronic Disease Preven- tion and Health Promotion at the department. Million Hearts is aimed at pre- venting 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2017 by empower- ing people across the nation to make simple, healthy choices such as quitting smoking, reducing sodium and trans fat consumption. The campaign also stresses the monitoring and management of blood pressure and cholesterol lev- els. May is National Stroke Aware- ness Month, so its a great way to tie cardiovascular health in South Dakota to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Mil- lion Hearts initiative, said Ahrendt. Almost 800,000 stokes occur in the U.S. each year, yet most people cannot identify stroke warning signs or risk factors. Some studies indicate that up to 80 percent of strokes can be prevented. Nation- ally, cardiovascular disease costs business and communities over $444 billion annually in lost pro- ductivity and health care expens- es. Million Hearts complements other tools and resources the departments Heart Disease and Stroke program offers.
