MURDO A PUBLICATION OF RAVELLETTE PUBLICATIONS, INC. $1.00 $1.00 Includes tax Number 32 Volume 107 August 8, 2013 Rally Time safety requires bikers, motorists to share road Heavier than normal traffic flows during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally require bikers and drivers to share the road for safety, officials with the South Dakota Highway Patrol and Office of Highway Safety caution. Although the rally doesnt offi- cially begin until Monday, August 5, motorcycle traffic has increased since early summer and likely will continue to be heavy through the end of August, says Col. Craig Price, superintendent of the South Dakota Highway Patrol. We have already recorded eight fatal crashes involving motorcy- cles this year, Price said. Rally time puts thousands more motor- cycles on the highways, but if each of us pays attention to the road and to the other drivers and rid- ers, we can have a fatality free rally. About one-third of motorcycle fatalities each year happen in West River counties during a two- week period around the annual rally, statistics from the Office of Highway Safety show. Riders can brush up on safety techniques and get a virtual look at many good motorcycle routes by visiting www.southdakotarides.com. Created last year by the Office of Highway Safety specifically for motorcycle enthusiasts, the site includes safety tips, motorcycle laws and regulations and several interactive features. One of those features offers website visitors a virtual ride on several popular South Dakota routes. Many of the fatal and injury crashes involving motorcycles hap- pen to relatively inexperienced riders, said Lee Axdahl, director of the Office of Highway Safety. The virtual ride feature of our website gives riders a chance to look at the features of a particular stretch of road before seeing it from over the handlebars of a bike. Riders can compare the difficulty of the route to their level of skill on the motorcycle. The Highway Patrol reminds motorcyclists and motorists alike of the rules for sharing the road. Motorcyclists should ride in single-file lines and avoid crowd- ing the center line or crowding motorists. Motorists should remember not to crowd cycles. Motorcycles have the same rights on the road as motorists. Motorists and cyclists should follow the recommended speed limits. Motorcyclists should be especially aware of speed limits on curves. It is against the law to drink and drive. Motorists and cyclists should make sure they have sober drivers. Motorists should remember to buckle up. Its the law. Motorcyclists are encouraged to wear helmets. The official dates of the 2013 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally are Monday, August 5 through Sun- day, August 11. Koester named Kadoka Nursing Home resident of the month Melford Koester was born in Pierre, South Dakota on July 16, 1926. The oldest of three children, Melford has one brother, Harold Koester, of Rapid City, South Dakota, and one sister, Dolores (Koester) Miller, who is deceased from Pierre, South Dakota. Melford attended school and graduated in 1945 from Vivian High School, Home of the Bearcats. He worked on his fathers farm through his school years. As a young boy he was active in sports. Melford married Becky Moross on October 10, 1949, at the Methodist Church in Murdo. They had three sons, Doug, Dan and Fred. Melford and Becky continued to live and work on his fathers farm in Vivian. He also drove a school bus, sold eggs and cream from the farm to make ends meet. In 1956 Melford took a job as manager with the elevator in Quinn, S.D. In 1958 Melford moved his family to Wall, S.D., to work at the elevator there. They eventually moved to Murdo, and he continued to manage the eleva- tor there until about 1978. He worked at Moore Building Center in Murdo until 1987. He then worked for the United States Postal Service and was a mail car- rier until he semi-retired in 1995. Melford and Becky hosted sev- eral foreign exchange students from Brazil and Sweden during the 1970s. They had the opportu- nity to visit them in the homes of their own countries as well. They traveled extensively in their lifetime. They visited Hawaii, Germany, Sweden, Brazil, the Pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall of China and many other places. Melfords greatest joys are his 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Melford has always enjoyed sports. Any sport that was being played was an interest of his. His main interest was baseball and he excelled in this sport. In 1950 he and his friends were playing baseball in the old dusty park in Vivian when professional baseball scouts happened to be passing through. They stopped and watch the game that was in progress. On the spot they asked Melford if he would be interested in trying out for the Cincinnati Reds baseball team and offered him a position with a farm club that belonged to the team. This meant he would have to move his family from the farm and to anoth- er state. He declined their invita- tion and this was one regret that has always stayed with him. Melford has always enjoyed con- versation with just about anyone. He has coached softball, baseball and been involved with about every community organization that there is, such as Lions Club, school board, and city council. Melford is always an easygoing and kindhearted fellow. He is very funny to listen to. The staff enjoys having him as a resident at the nursing home, as he always has a smile to share. We want to congratulate Melford Koester for being selected as Kadoka Nursing Home Resi- dent of the Month for the month of July. Become the next Dacotah Star at the S.D.

S.D. kindergarten immunization rates among highest in nation South Dakota boasts some of the highest immunization rates in the nation for kindergarten stu- dents, according to recently released data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC surveyed immuniza- tion records for 12,468 South Dakota kindergarten students for the 2012-2013 school year and found: 97.9 percent were fully immu- nized for MMR (measles, mumps, rubella); 97.7 percent were fully immu- nized for DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis); 96 percent were fully immu- nized for varicella (chickenpox); and Just 0.3 percent had a medical exemption for vaccination and another 1.5 percent claimed a reli- gious exemption. South Dakota parents and vac- cine providers do a great job of get- ting kids the shots they need for school entry, said Lon Kightlinger, state epidemiologist for the Department of Health. These high vaccination rates pre- vent disease from spreading and protect people with medical condi- tions that keep them from getting vaccinated. Now is a good time for parents to check with their health care provider to see if their kids are up to date on shots before the school year starts. Parents can also request copies of immunization records from the department through its website, http://doh.sd. gov/family/childhood/immuniza- tion/. While the kindergarten cover- age rates are excellent, rates for other age groups are not as high. By time the children get to middle school, high school and college the rates fall because parents arent always aware that these kids need vaccinations such as meningococ- cal vaccine and boosters for others such as pertussis. Rates for preschoolers are also not as high as they should be, said Kightlinger. Lagging vaccination rates open the door to disease. Improving childhood immuniza- tion rates is a key objective of the departments Health 2020 initia- tive.

On Friday Kristi Smart and sons Nate and Joel joined Mel and Clarice Roghair, Annalee and Mesa on a drive north to attend the first ever Isabel Ranch Rodeo.

Honored guests at the Okaton Church Sunday were the Smart family and also Melanie Keeney and her father, former Jones County resident Dalen Keeney.

Stam It has been said that the word blessed, in our English Bible, simply means happy. Thus the blessed man of Psalm 1 is a happy man and the blessed God of I Tim. 1:11 is a happy God. (We refer to the Hebrew and Greek words most often rendered blessed). To say the least, this is a superficial understanding or misunderstanding of one of the most wonderful words of Scripture. A fool can be happy, a drunkard can be happy, a wicked man can be happy, but none of these are truly blessed, for one who is blessed has a deeply valid reason to rejoice. Thus Psa. 1:1,2 says that the man who shuns the counsel of the ungodly , the way of sinners and the seat of the scornful and meditates and delights in the law of God, is blessed. He is well off and has great reason to rejoice. Few, of course, would dare to claim that they have fully lived up to this passage in the Psalms, but Gods Word has good news even for such. In Romans 4:6-8, St. Paul declares: David also describeth the blessedness of the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. This blessedness is not a mere feeling of happiness. It is rather the state of being well off; with a deep and abiding reason to rejoice. Thus Psalm 40:4 says: Blessed is that man who maketh the Lord his trust, and when the Galatians stopped trusting completely in the Lord and began leaning on their own works, the Apostle asked them: Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? (Gal. 4:15). Thus to be truly blessed is to be well off; with the greatest possible reason to rejoice. This is why the believer in Christ, saved and eternally safe in Him, is, like God Himself, blessed for evermore. Two minutes with the bible Murdo 0entaI CIInIc Announces the addItIon of 0r.

Visitation was held on Monday, August 5 at St. Anthonys Catholic Church in Draper with a Prayer Service/ Rosary. Services were held Tues- day, August 6, at the Draper Audi- torium with burial at Draper Cemetery. David James Seamans com- monly known as Manfred to many friends and family was born on September 10, 1950 to Frank and Lorene (Novak) Seamans. He was born at Murdo, S.D., but spent his entire childhood growing up on the family farm southeast of Drap- er. David graduated from Draper High School in 1968 where he enjoyed many good times with friends that became lifelong friends. Following high school, he went to a semester of college and worked on the family farm. He was drafted in 1970 with a tour in Viet- nam. He met Lillian Hamer on New Years Eve in 1971 and they were married August 4, 1972, at St. Anthonys Catholic Church in Draper. To this union two sons were born: Clint in May of 1977 and Jason of August of 1983. David worked with his father and brothers on the family farm. When things slowed down on the farm, he would work at a variety of jobs. His proudest moment was at age 51, when he went to Mitchell Tech for 2 years to become a HVAC tech. He then worked a few years with companies in this field, before starting Seamans Heating and Cooling. David enjoyed any type of handyman work and was willing to lend a helping hand. He enjoyed their place south of Draper, plant- ing trees, hunting, being outdoors, and most recently was really tak- ing pride in his garden full of asparagus and cucumbers. He always had a smile and something kind to say. David was a life-long member of St. Anthonys Catholic Church and a member of Draper Legion. He will be greatly missed by all those who were fortunate to know him. David is survived by his wife of almost 41 years, Lillian, of Draper; son, Jason, of Rapid City; two brothers: Kurt and Paul; two sis- ters: Joanne Seamans and Mary Kaye (Norman) Hurst; three brothers-in-law: Charles (Susan) Hamer, Chet (Teresa) Hamer and Kenny (Diane) Hamer, all of Ken- nebec; sister-in-law, Bernice (Jerry) Klein, of Gregory, S.D.; Clarence Junior Thompson of Reliance; nine nieces, five nephews and numerous great nieces and nephews. He was pre- ceded in death by his son, Clint, in 1982; his parents; and sister-in- law, Loretta (Hamer) Thompson. Arrangements have been placed in care of Isburg Funeral Chapel. Online condolences may be made at www.isburgfuneralchapels.com Edyth Noldner Edyth Alice Noldner, age 87, of Eldon, Missouri, formerly of Murdo, passed away Friday, August 2, 2013, at the Lee House in Eldon.

State Wide News Murdo Coyote August 8, 2013 Page 4 From the U.S. Senate Senator John Thune August marks a season of change and an important milestone in the life of our family. This month our youngest daughter Larissa will marry Scott Hargens in Sioux Falls. I always knew this day would come; it just seems to have come sooner than I expected. Its not them, its me. Theyre of age, Larissa is 23 and Scott is 27, and theyve been engaged for almost a year so I know they are ready. Its just that when its your little girl walking down the aisle, Im not sure that as a dad youre ever real- ly ready. In fact, Id be willing to bet few dads can say its not a lit- tle bittersweet. You see, I was there in the deliv- ery room when my wife Kimberley gave birth to Larissa in January of 1990. And ever since that little blond-haired, blue-eyed baby entered the world, shes been my little girl. I was the guy there for the hoops games and soccer matches, for the track meets and piano recitals, for the joy of victory and the pain of disappointment. I helped her learn how to swim, how to ride a bike, and how to shoot straight. I listened to her memo- rize Bible verses and say her bed- time prayers. I saw her love for all things living, including frogs and snakes, and I laughed at her quick wit. She, of course, helped carry me through seven campaigns, sat patiently through countless Lin- coln Day dinners, picnics, fairs, and bus rides, not to mention appearing in numerous campaign ads despite her eternal shyness. And I know how hard it was on her when my job required me to miss some of her special moments. But for 23-plus years, through thick and thin, shes been my little L.T. This August, she officially becomes Scotts girl. And despite the customary fatherly apprehen- sion, Im okay with that. Scott is a solid young man from good stock, hell take good care of her, and shell be a good wife. After all, she learned from her mom. There will be hard times ahead, its part of life, but theyre built on a strong foundation. As for me, I dont think I would have it any other way. Its the nor- mal order of things, Gods plan for our lives. Still, as I share that final dance with my daughter, before I hand her off to her new husband, I will think about how blessed my life has been because of her and how grateful I am that even as she begins her new life, she will always be my little L.T. In recent months, there has been a common theme in Washing- ton. Government agencies have abused their power, imposed unnecessary regulations and wast- ed millions in taxpayer dollars. With a growing list of abuses by federal agencies, South Dakotans are rapidly losing trust in their government. Here in the House, we decided it was time to act. We designated July 29 August 2 as Stop Gov- ernment Abuse Week. We debated and passed a handful of bills that limit the power of federal agencies and instead empower individuals. Each year, federal agencies issue hundreds of regulations regulations which go into effect without ever receiving a vote or fair debate in Congress. In fact, a study by the Small Business Administration found that annual regulatory compliance costs in the United States hit $1.75 trillion in 2008. Too often, major decisions Working toward a more efficient and effective government A walk down the aisle are made by unelected, unaccount- able bureaucrats who fail to understand how a regulation will impact families and businesses in South Dakota. This is why the House passed the Regulations from the Execu- tive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act this week. The REINS Act, which I was proud to cosponsor, is a common-sense bill that requires Congress to take an up-or-down vote on all new major rules with an annual economic impact of $100 million or more before they can be enforced. Small business owners and fam- ilies are facing difficult decisions because of Obamacare and many are surprised to know the IRS is responsible for implementing over 50 different aspects of the Presi- dents health care law. This agency is already in trouble with Con- gress, and the American people, for its inappropriate and illegal targeting of political groups. I find it troubling that this same agency would enforce the disastrous health care law, one of the most expansive and expensive laws ever passed. I also voted for the Keep the IRS off Your Health Care Act. This bill prohibits the IRS from implementing any portion of Oba- macare. Ive heard from many South Dakotans who believe the federal government is out of touch and stories of lavish and expensive employee conferences only further damage the governments credibil- ity. Last year, the General Services Administration spent $820,000 on a single conference in Las Vegas! In response, the House passed the Government Spending Accounta- bility Act of 2013. The purpose of the bill is simple. It requires that federal agencies publicly post detailed information about confer- ences and also limits the amount agencies can spend on a single con- ference. I believe this bill is an important step in encouraging transparency and accountability. The increasing size and role of bureaucracy is costly and further erodes the trust of the American people. This week was an impor- tant step in tipping the power back to the people and I was proud to vote for legislation that will restore balance in the government and save taxpayer dollars. Id like to hear your opinions on legisla- tion passed as part of Stop Gov- ernment Abuse Week, and would encourage you to contact one of my offices to share your thoughts and concerns. From the U.S. House Representative Kristi Noem Rethinking equipment utilization By Anthony Gasper, Director of Planning and Logistics, MachineryLink Each year, growers face an abundance of challenges. Changes in technology, fluctuations in weather, volatile economic mar- kets, and a multitude of additional factors can affect farming produc- tivity and overall profitability. Being progressive and viewing your farm as a business will help ensure your success. Growers have moved from functioning as the tra- ditional family farm to highly profitable, efficient farming opera- tions. With that in mind, success- ful growers consistently evaluate aspects of their operation to ensure they continue to meet, and exceed, their business goals. One of the most important aspects that farmers evaluate is overall cost per acre. Do you have a good understanding of how much it costs to run your operation? There are multiple factors to consider when determining cost per acre: labor, logistics, and the primary topic of this article, equip- ment utilization. To fully under- stand equipment utilization, farm- ers have to evaluate the amount of time a piece of equipment func- tions at its job, such as planting, fertilizing, harvesting or anything else. Industries such as construction, which have high-value assets, have long maintained a focus on overall equipment utilization and the effect on the bottom line. We are witnessing an increased awareness regarding the impor- tance of utilization in agriculture as rising fuel and equipment costs, increased labor expenses, advanced technology and other contributors put pressure on mar- gins and overall profitability. Additionally, farming requires var- ious pieces of equipment which equates to a substantial invest- ment. A new combine, for example, can run anywhere from $280,000 to over half-a-million. Evaluating your equipment uti- lization, and the appropriate course of action for your farm, requires consideration of several factors, including: Labor: Do you have the appro- priate number of workers for your farm size?Does the productivity of your equipment allow you to make the most of your labor resources? Bottlenecks: What is pre- venting you from getting maxi- mum usage from your equipment? Obsolete technology? Do you have the appropriate expertise to effi- ciently run your machines? Time management: When considering purchasing equip- ment, do you have the time to maintain and repair the machines? Would your time be bet- ter utilized in other areas of the operation? Depreciation: Do you fully understand your depreciation costs? The real cost of depreciation is the amount you have to pay to replace equipment, not the resale value. Through our discussions with growers, we have learned most farmers have a wish list for their equipment. However, the list may not always correspond with avail- able dollars, so understanding which equipment has high utiliza- tion can assist in prioritizing investments. In general, a good working priority includes: Tractor Planter Sprayer Combine Why that order? From a pure utilization perspective, a tractor, with its ability to haul, till, plant, spray, and perform other activities is the most versatile and useful piece of equipment on the farm and is used the majority of the year. On the other hand, the pri- mary function of the combine is harvesting, and then the machine sits idle for the remainder of the year. While the utilization rate on a tractor can be up to 26 to 30 per- cent, the average utilization on a combine is around seven percent. Low utilization is a major reason for alternatives to combine owner- ship such as contracting, joint ven- tures with other farmers, or rental agreements. Farming is an industry of tradi- tion, where "pride of ownership" runs deep. However, as the agri- cultural industry becomes even more competitive, a change in mindset is occurring, as it did in the construction industry. Farm- ers are taking a harder look at areas of their operation in which they can make improvements in productivity and profitability. As margins become tighter and many growers face financial challenges, it becomes even more important for growers to focus on areas that will help them optimize their oper- ations. Evaluating alternatives to ownership may help improve oper- ational efficiency and your overall bottom line. Overcoming the hur- dles of conventional practices and moving toward pride in profitabil- ity is now becoming the norm. www.ravellettepublications.com S.D. Game, Fish & Parks partners to improve elk habitat In some areas of the Black Hills, water is a scarce resource. This summer South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks is installing a 20,000-gal- lon watering tank for elk and other big game in a secluded section of the Cooper Ranch Game Produc- tion Area. In this area of the Black Hills, water is a premium. This land sits atop Custer limestone and the Jewell Cave system, so it quickly disappears into the soil, explains Tim Bradeen, Habitat Resource Biologist for the S.D. GF&P. This project is designed to improve habitat and encourage retention of elk and other big game species in the area. Surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest, the Coop- er Ranch Game Production Area provides critical, year-round habi- tat for big game species. This land was burned over in the 2000 Jasper Fire. As a result there are new aspen stands and open grassland areas on the prop- erty, Bradeen says. When the South Dakota GF&P purchased the 361 acres of land three years ago it had been a working cattle ranch and was the only remaining private land hold- ing for several miles within the National Forest. Bradeen says the department purchased Cooper Ranch to prevent losing big game habitat to development. We want- ed to maintain it as wildlife habi- tat. Since that time, Bradeen and his team have worked to improve habitat by thinning pine within the aspen stands to allow for the aspen to expand without competi- tion. This land is well known as an elk wintering area because it pro- vides needed food and cover, says Mike Kintigh, Regional GF&P Supervisor for western South Dakota. A cooperative effort Kintigh adds that although the Cooper Ranch Game Production Area has an existing well and cat- tle watering tank, because the existing tank is located in a high traffic area near a road; GF&P wanted to install another tank in a secluded area on the property to protect elk from road hunting. Working with a $5,000 donation from the Rapid City chapter of Safari Club International as well as dollars raised from the sale of hunting licenses, GF&P will com- plete the project tax free. Before installing the water tank, GF&P made repairs to and updated the current well. The Safari Club International dollars paid for the installation of more than 4,000- feet of pipe, which allows for the new tank to be installed in a draw that is not visible from the road. This project will encourage and provide a secure water source for elk and other wildlife species on this parcel, which is in the middle of the 22,000-acre Forest Service Porcupine allotment, says Dennie Mann, a retired habitat manager with GF&P who now serves on Safari Club Internationals board of directors with his wife, Mary Ann. Over the last 10 years Safari Club International has partnered with South Dakota GF&P on 21 projects; providing $72,000 in funding to improve big game man- agement and hunting opportuni- ties in the Black Hills. Kintigh says the Safari Club Internation- als contribution to the project is a great example of how South Dako- ta GF&P partners with non- governmental organizations to improve wildlife habitat. This is a group of sportsmen who are putting dollars on the ground to help ensure wildlife is here for future generations to enjoy, Kintigh says. This project also benefits ranch- er, Stan Rennard who has sum- mered his cattle on the Forest Service Porcupine grazing allot- ment near Cooper Ranch Game Production Area since 1998. Ren- nard uses the well on Cooper Ranch to supply water to the many water tanks he manages for his cattle each summer. I spend most of the summer working on water. I ride the nine miles of pipeline to ensure there are no leaks and make sure the water tanks are working in a pas- ture before I move the cattle, says Rennard, who rotates his cattle through one of 13 pastures every 10 days. Rennard is a holistic manager. He works with a management team that includes his family, S.D. GF&P staff, a Sierra Club mem- ber, SDSU Extension Specialists and Forest Service staff to ensure that the grazing practices he implements benefit and improve wildlife habitat. I believe in managing my cattle in a way that benefits the entire community, Rennard says. A third generation rancher, Rennard says being able to graze his herd each summer on Forest Service and Cooper Ranch Game Production Area land is essential to maintaining his herd size. Ive got a daughter and son-in- law who want to get into the cattle business and my home place isnt large enough to support two fami- lies, Rennard says. With the price of land, you cant pay for it with cattle. So, I depend on this easement for summer grazing and I use the pastureland on my ranch for forage production and winter grazing. We are really fortunate to have a holistic manager such as Stan Rennard and his family utilizing managed grazing systems. He integrates wildlife projects into his ranching operation, Mann said. Bradeen agrees. He says because of Rennards grazing man- agement, wildlife benefit as well. He explains that like the buffalo, cattle grazing and hoof action stimulates the growth and diversi- ty of native grasses and forbs. Its a good working relationship that ultimately benefits the wildlife we manage, Bradeen says. Game, Fish & Parks works with cattle producers across South Dakota because most of the wildlife we manage lives on pri- vate land owned by cattle produc- ers and other landowners.

There are many good reasons to plant cover crops, but an important one is to have something growing on prevented plant acres rather than leave them bare. The Natural Resources Conser- vation Service recently posted a new publication, Cover Crops to Improve Soil in Prevented Plant- ing Fields, available at:www.nrcs. usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCU- MENTS/stelprdb1142714.pdf. The publication discusses the benefits of healthy soil, and lists the follow- ing 4 keys to soil health: 1. Disturb the soil less, 2. Feed the soil with living plants as much as possible, 3. Increase diversity, and 4. Keep the soil covered. Prevented plant fields can be vulnerable to water and wind ero- sion. Depending on the next crop to be planted, fallow syndrome can pose problems due to the lack of biological activity. It is also well documented that many of the soils in central and western South Dakota have limited water holding capacity, so the areas that have received ample rainfall this spring and summer will not be able to capture all of the moisture for the next crop. One of the theories behind plant- ing cover crops is to use some of the moisture that cannot be stored to grow biomass, both above and below ground to rebuild topsoil and add organic matter. Having growing plants in place on the fields will actually allow more of the rainfall that occurs to soak into the soil than if is left bare and some of it runs off. If producers will be planting winter wheat on prevented plant acres, cover crops will allow them to grow some residue, terminate them 10-14 days before planting and plant at the recommended time, September 15 October 15 with less risk of wind erosion or fall aphid or wheat curl mite infestations. Cover crops may also provide grazing for live- stock producers, but check with the Farm Service Agency and your crop insurance agent regarding prevented planting requirements and harvest restrictions.

Canada Goose hunting opens Aug. 3 South Dakotans can get an early start to fall hunting on Sat- urday, Aug. 3 with a hunt designed to lower the population of Canada geese. Resident Canada goose popula- tions in many states have explod- ed over the past several years. South Dakota has been no excep- tion, with a goose population that exceeds the level designated by state game managers. The Game, Fish and Parks Department works in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service managing migratory waterfowl, Chad Switzer, GFP wildlife program administrator, said. Ultimately the framework for waterfowl seasons is deter- mined at the federal level and one of the provisions they have provid- ed is this August Management Take Canada goose hunt. The hunt is for South Dakota residents only, and will run from Aug. 3-31 in the counties of Brook- ings, Brown, Clark, Codington, Day, Deuel, Hamlin, Hanson, Grant, Kingsbury, Lake, Lincoln, Marshall, McCook, Miner, Min- nehaha, Moody, Pennington, Roberts, Spink, Union and Pen- nington County west of the Cheyenne River. Resident hunters must have a 2013 small game or combination license, and the state migratory bird certification. The federal waterfowl stamp is not required for this August hunt. The daily bag limit for Canada geese is 15 with no possession limit. The goal is to encourage a healthy harvest of geese to help bring the numbers more in line with our population goals, Switzer said. Estimates placed the Canada goose population at approximately 270,000 birds in 2012. Our management goal is 80,000. Hunters will be able to avail themselves of an opportunity to donate geese to the South Dakota Sportsmen Against Hunter pro- gram. Designated meat processors will take the geese at no charge to the hunter. The list of participating proces- sors can be found at www.gfp.sd.gov/hunting/water- fowl/goose-SAH-donation.aspx. Jones County School District #37-3 Classes begin Monday, August 19th Youth & Sports Murdo Coyote August 8, 2013 Page 6 Murdo youth attend Camp Bob Marshall in Custer, S.D. Jones County Summer Program Young people who attended Dis- trict IV, V and VI Farmers Union camp held July 30-August 1 at Camp Bob Marshall have a better understanding of the cooperative philosophy and learned how to bet- ter manage their finances and increase their financial literacy knowledge. They came from Perkins, Harding, Meade, Jones and Lawrence Counties to experi- ence the district camp and all it had to offer. This years theme was Farmers Union is our name, Coop- eration is our game, and campers had a chance to learn about coop- erative businesses, citizenship, environmental stewardship, lead- ership and other life skills. Its important that young South Dakotans learn to manage their money and work together, said District V Education Director Tamie Fahrenholz. Campers had the chance to participate in coop- erative games and activities that taught them about setting finan- cial goals and saving their money while having a lot of fun. Activities at this years camp included a Deal or No Deal a game show that taught campers about Farmers Union and Cash Cab which quizzed campers knowledge about Financial Litera- cy. We cant stress enough the importance of teaching our next generation about cooperation, District V Education Director Tamie Fahrenholz said. We really focus on building future leaders, and this years camp was a chance for young people to put their skills to the test and improve themselves and their personal lives. Along with various camp activi- ties, games and singing, each child also took part in a craft activity decorating ceramic piggy banks to promote saving money and finan- cial literacy. Participants at this years camp were: Jim Brockel from Shadehill; Peyton Mollman from Buffalo; Rowdy Thompson, Luke Thompson, Kade Montague and Taylin Montague all from New Underwood; Brooklyn Larsen and Taeanna Larsen from Murdo; Davin Valdez from Spearfish; and Taylor Todd from Box Elder. District V Farmers Union camp was directed by Tamie Fahrenholz from Rapid City. The Farmers Union summer interns were Han- nah Lily of Aberdeen and Kortny Sterrett from Huron. Also helping with the camp was Keely Thomp- son from New Underwood.

Kadoka to host Red Dirt and Roughstock Tour Spud Creek Rodeo Productions, Dave and Nate Morrison from Interior, S.D., will be bringing the Red Dirt and Roughstock Tour to Kadoka, S.D., on Friday, August 16th at 7:00 p.m. featuring a high paced Roughstock Rodeo of Bare- back Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, and Bull Riding. This will be in place of the Badlands Match Bronc Riding that Spud Creek Rodeo has produced the previous years on the same weekend in Kadoka. As Nate Morrison with the Red Dirt and Roughstock tour explains it, South Dakota is very educated when it comes to rodeo events and they know a good event when they see one, and also know a bad, poor- ly run event, when they see one. They can tell the difference between good stock and bad stock, good rides and bad rides, and according to the South Dakota rodeo fan, they are wanting some- thing fresh and new without all the fluff. Straight up action where the bucking stock and rides do the talking, so to speak. We believe we have found the answer to that call. Limiting the event to only 10 Bareback Riders, 10 Bronc Riders, and 10 Bull Rid- ers with the top five from the event advancing to a Champi- onship Round, we can present the crowd a high paced, non-stop action night with 45 rides total that can be done within two hours without losing the crowds excite- ment and attention. By also limit- ing to 10 per event, I can assure that the stock and riders can be of the highest quality making the fan going home excited about the event. On top of the Roughstock Rodeo Action the Red Dirt and Rough- stock Tour is featuring a demon- stration of Rodney Yosts Horse- manship starting before the show at 6:30 p.m. Rodney's demonstra- tion will feature Pepsi doing some advanced drills and maneu- vers leading into her great bare- back/bridleless/bullwhip ride as the finale. Yost will be talking his way through the demonstration giving an explanation of his techniques, philosophy, and training style. So it wont simply be entertainment, and it wont simply be an educa- tional demonstration. It will be the perfect combination of both. Immediately following the high paced roughstock rodeo action the Red Dirt and Roughstock Tour will be introducing The Bad River Band playing red dirt and rodeo tunes at the after party at Club 27 in Kadoka. Based out of Philip, S.D., Kenny Feidler is a lyrical genius when it comes to capturing the feel of life on the rodeo road, and along with Clade Schuelke a genius on a guitar, combined with Travis Michelson on Bass, and Nicole Kluck on rhythm guitar, they have put together The Bad River Band winners of the Texaco Country Showdown in Lemmon, S.D., in July. Feidler will also be competing in the bareback riding during the event, which is what Red Dirt and Roughstock is all about. Rough- stock Rodeo action without all the fluff, and straight up country music without all the pop. Bring your dancing boots, its going to be rank! Also included in the night of non-stop roughstock action will be local trick riding sensation Christy Willert from Kadoka, S.D., per- forming her high paced trick rid- ing skills, and funny man Stretch McKown will be on hand guaranteeing laughs that the whole family will enjoy. Kadokas event will be the third stop on the 2013 Red Dirt and Roughstock Tour as the contest- ants are trying to earn their way to the big finale event in Rapid City, S.D., on September 27, fea- turing the famous Red Dirt Band, Jason Boland and The Stragglers. Tour standings and more infor- mation can be found online at www. reddi rtroughstock. com. Opening starts at 6:30 p.m. with the rodeo action kicking off at 7 p.m. on Friday August 16, 2013 in Kadoka, S.D. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children under 10. Bring the whole family!

Dated this 22nd day of July, 2013. MAY, ADAM, GERDES & THOMPSON, LLP By: DOUGLAS A. ABRAHAM Attorneys for Plaintiff 503 South Pierre Street P.O. Box 160 Pierre, SD 57501-0160 (605) 224-8803 daa@magt.com Published August 8, 15, 22 &29, 2013, at the total approximate cost of $111.69. A lady went to visit her daugh- ter in Denver and while there her daughter suggested that her moth- er be seen by her local physician for a checkup. A full hour for a very comprehensive evaluation was spent and most values on her various tests were normal except for serum magnesium. Normal serum magnesium is between 1.8 and 2.6 milligrams percent. Hers was 1.4 milligram percent. This was a value slightly low but the patient had no symptoms that would suggest low serum magne- sium. The doctor in Denver had suggested that she come back for further testing but by that time, she had already returned to South Dakota and inquired here as to what the test meant and what she should do about it. Magnesium metabolism is real- ly no different that any other body component. There is a certain amount of magnesium that is nor- mal in the body. There is a certain amount that is taken in each day. There is a certain amount that is excreted each day and at the end of the day, the person should have the same amount of magnesium in their body that they had at the beginning of the day. For an adult in balance, this is true for all of the various nutrients that make the body up. So if a person has a low serum magnesium or any other compo- nent, there are only 2 ways this abnormality can develop. First the person can be taking in too little of the nutrient or secondly, they can be loosing too much of it. Not tak- ing in enough includes diets that are deficient in the given nutrients such as magnesium or diseases in which the person does not absorb the magnesium that they do eat. Normally, a person consumes between 200-500 milligrams of magnesium per day of which only one-third is absorbed into the body. The remaining two-thirds remain in the intestine and are excreted in the stool. One way to become magnesium deficient is not getting enough magnesium in. The second method of becoming magnesium deficient is to lose more magnesium in the stool or the urine than the person takes in with their daily intake. Intestinal conditions such as diarrhea or chronic nausea/vomiting are com- mon ways that intestinal losses can occur. A host of conditions can affect the kidneys conservation of magnesium with a resultant abnormal loss of magnesium in the urine. Reference to standard med- ical textbooks will show a checklist of conditions that lead to the abnormal urinary losses and/or the abnormal oral intakes. On reviewing this ladys history and the information that she brought with her from Denver, the one striking abnormality was her use of a drug called omeprazole (Prilosec). This is a drug that she used to treat her heartburn. It has a direct effect of turning off stom- ach acid thereby preventing acid reflux and the resulting heart burn. But for every drug there is a tradeoff, large or small. In this case, the tradeoff was decreased magnesium absorption because stomach acid is pivotal in absorb- ing magnesium from food. The result was that she had a chronic deficiency of magnesium because she also had milk intolerance and was a very picky eater. In as much as the low serum magnesium was an abnormality that was written on a piece of paper, it really didnt affect her. She had no symptoms that went with the low serum magnesium. She was instructed that it didnt seem to be of any consequence if she just left it alone. If there was a need to correct the abnormal value, stopping the Prilosec would be step one. Step two would be to provide a magnesium supplement but neither of these steps was essential in maintaining her good health. The second case of low serum magnesium was that of a 62-year old gentleman who drank more alcoholic beverage than was good for him. With his alcohol intake, he had a very poor diet and came to the hospital for treatment of alcohol withdrawal. His magne- sium level was 0.9 milligrams per- cent (1.8-2.6 milligrams percent normal), a value very low and associated with symptoms of mus- cle hyper-excitability and painful severe cramping. Treating his alcohol withdrawal was one step in care but a big piece of that was provision of adequate magnesium to replace a severe deficiency. With replacement of the severe deficiency that he had, the muscle cramping and hyper-excitability did resolve. In this case, the mag- nesium replacement was part of a comprehensive program to replace potassium, calcium, magnesium, and a host of vitamins that this poor gentleman was deficient in. Magnesium replacement was an important and essential part of his treatment program. For many people, a slight mag- nesium deficiency in the blood is of no consequence. To somebody such as the alcoholic, replacement can be a critical aspect of care. The healthcare professionals at your local clinics are aware of the potential considerations regarding magnesium and can help in sepa- rating out those situations where there is a significant clinical prob- lem and those situations in which a slightly low blood test is of no consequence. The Clinical View Dr. P.E. Hoffsten upsetting someone is not scary to me. Ive seen people go into a com- plete panic when a little garter snake goes by. Garter snakes dont worry me in the least, and Im not apt to go running off into the dis- tance upon seeing one, even if someone else does. A rattlesnake too close for comfort might be another story, but my reaction in that case is to quickly look around for any weapon I can use to do the sucker in. A hoe is my weapon of choice, but sticks and stones will suffice if nothing else is at hand. Cowboys find that their ropes will work okay if used somewhat like a whip. There is some concern that fangs will get embedded in the rope and cause a second-hand means of poison transfer, but ropes might still be used and just inspected closely before being put back into use. Besides scary things like dan- gerous critters, bad storms, unex- pected explosions etc., there are other things that create fear. One is a feeling of inadequacy. There may be something we want to do but arent sure were capable of accomplishing. This can apply to taking a test, speaking, singing or playing an instrument in public, fighting an addiction, or even making repairs to something or other. We might feel inadequate and not up to the job. If we let fear take over, we might simply give up and not try. As a result, some- times we have to work pretty hard at conquering our fears. We see this even happen to Joshua in the Bible. He had taken over from Moses and was sup- posed to be leading the Israelites into the Promised Land. This was a daunting task since the Prom- ised Land was not vacant but inhabited by strong people who didnt want to leave. As a result, God repeatedly instructed Joshua to be strong and courageous. Eas- ier said then done, right? Well, not so much if you listen to the rest of Gods message which was, For I will be with you. I am your strength. So there you have it, the anti- dote to fear is trust in God and his care of us. He will be with us and He is our strength. In other words, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Now if we can just remember to keep that in mind. Lets give it a try. Fear is contagious. Let one old cow get spooked about something, and, in no time at all, the whole herd can be in headlong flight down a hill or off to the far corner of the pasture. Woe betide any- thing or anyone that gets in the way. This little scenario was a common occurrence when four- wheelers were just starting to be used. Cows were used to pickups and paid them little attention except when they brought food of some sort. Noisy four-wheelers, though, were highly suspect at first and could easily cause a stampede. You see a similar thing with weaned calves in the fall. These little guys are pretty nervous any- way since theyve just been sepa- rated from their mamas for the first time. Fortunately, they do soon get accustomed to their care- giver since he or she brings them food and they like that pretty well. If that caregiver is normally dressed in green coveralls with a red cap, then that outfit is what is expected. If the same person comes dressed in jeans, plaid shirt, and blue cap, uneasiness may be seen. If the nervousness gets bad enough, the fences may be in danger of being trampled down by panicked calves, and this can result in critters being every- where and not wanting to be gath- ered back into the corral. This panic thing even happens with people who really should have better sense. Youve probably heard of a ballgame or concert where something scary happened and everyone bolted for the door. In the process, some folks got knocked down and trampled and maybe even killed. Fear is the driving force in this case with herd instinct giving a helping hand. As a result, avoiding crowds altogether is the best thing to do, or it is according to someone like me who has lived too long on a hill in the middle of nowhere. Open spaces dont make me nervous, but crowds just might. Nervous fidgets are also conta- gious. If someone is constantly in a sweat about every little thing, your nerves are apt to suffer in the process. You might decide a desert island sounds fairly attrac- tive in comparison to being around a fuss budget. In my case, it seems, fear isnt necessarily contagious if what is Lookin Around Syd Iwan Magnesium: Patient Stories Legal Notices Protect YOUR Right To Know If you have a news story or idea for the Murdo Coyote, If you have a news story or idea for the Murdo Coyote, please call the office at 605-669-2271 or you can email please call the office at 605-669-2271 or you can email mcoyote@gwtc.net or coyoteads @gwtc.net mcoyote@gwtc.net or coyoteads @gwtc.net At the Murdo Coyote there is no charge for obituaries, engagements or wedding announcements!
