varying levels of power and inter-est. Three quadrants of this gridare likely to yield productive newmembers. Low power/low interestis not worth the effort of recruit-ment.

Group Formation Dynamic:Not all groups are the same,

however, nearly all foll ow this pat-tern. All of these phases are all nec-essary and inevitable for the teamto grow, to face challenges, to tackleproblems, to find solutions, to planwork and to deliver results. Per-forming is the phase where groupsbecome confident, their energy ischanneled, they are comfortablewith new challenges, disputes arehandled easily resolved and goals

are achieved!Small groups were formed by

connecting with people who had op-posite interests than your own.Those groups worked at communi-cation skills while discussing ameeting they attended where thegroup appeared to be in the storm-ing stage. The characteristics of agreat team were examined thatcould lead to norming and per-forming.

Overcoming Barriersto Recruitment:

Small groups worked on answer-ing questions about barriers, anddeveloping a call to action that ateam from Kadoka is putting to-gether in a final product.

Develop a Call to Action:Small groups came up with spe-

cific names of people to ask to be in-volved in SET. They divided up thenames so each person had contacts

to make. Reasons for involvementwill be put into the call for action.

Our region is facing decliningpopulations, fewer jobs, housingshortages, aging residents, youth

outmigration and economic insta-bility.

We are coming together as apart of the SET program to find so-lutions to these issues. Our teamincludes a diverse group of peoplewith access to many resources. But,we also need the talents and net-works others can bring to the table.

We cannot continue to watchthese factors get worse. We mustact now for results in the next 1-5years. Many impacts will last farbeyond 5 years.

We believe our efforts will pos-itively impact all residents of theregion; specifically small busi-nesses. We also feel we can impactour regions overall economic stabil-ity and job growth which will en-courage our population to live here,work here, raise their family hereand retire here.

Horseshoe River Case StudyThe group read through a case

study about a collaboration thathad some initial success, but beganto lose momentum. Small groupscame up with ways to avoid thatsituation, and to manage the con-

cerns of multiple groups.7 Habits of EffectiveRegional Leadership:

Badlands/Bad River RegionModule 3 Highlights: 2/12/13

SET Purpose & Need:Help rural communities/coun-

ties to work together as a regionalteam in developing and implement-ing an economic development blue-print that builds on the current

and emerging economic strengthsof their region. Creating, attractingand retaining jobs as a single ruralcounty in isolation is becoming in-creasing ineffective. Economic de-velopment progress is more likelyto be realized when rural countieswork together as a region to assess,design and implement plans thatbuild on their comparative eco-nomic strengths.

Progress:The program was launched in

2010 and thus far two phases havebeen completed in 19 states and 40regions. Phase III includes sevenadditional states; Georgia, Nevada,North Carolina, Oklahoma, SouthCarolina, Virginia and SouthDakota.

Joshua 1:8-9The message of Joshua 1 was meant for all of Gods

children. Scriptures timeless principles for spiritualgrowth are as relevant to us as they were to the ancientJewish people. The Lords command to remain stead-

fast and courageous is still in effect, as is His promise to abide with us in all circumstances. Moreover, itis still true that faith and courage develop in believers who meditate on Gods Word regularly.

Fear, the antithesis of courage, is born of disobedience to the Lord, unbelief in Him, and/or doubt aboutHis will or His ways. The weight and binding power of fear can drag a person down like shackles on aprisoner. But Scripture contains truths, promises, and principles that break those chains.

Have you ever noticed how focusing your mind on the Word quiets your spirit? In that peaceful silence,faith dissolves fear. Gods revelations about Himself in the Biblenamely, that He is good, sovereign,and our loving Fatherhave a way of sharpening our perception about whatever were facing We can seethe true nature of a matter and it is not bigger than our God. As a result, we cast off the staggering weightof our burdens and instead grow a deep-rooted confidence in the goodness and sovereignty of God. Myfriends, that is the definition of courage.

Gods admonition to JoshuaBe strong and courageous! (Josh. 1:9)is meant for modern believerstoo. Like the Israelites, we battle strong enemies and face walls that must come down. Do not give in tofear, but break its hold through the powerful words of Scripture, and live in confidence.

prohibitive. After considerable de-bate was heard it passed on to thefloor by a vote of 7 yeas and 6 nays.I feel strongly that state widebrand inspection would help withthe on going problem of livestockbeing transported across the riverwithout proper documentation ofownership and curb livestockrustling. I argued that agricultureis South Dakotas number one in-dustry and we need to look at allpossible steps to protect the live-

stock producer.HB 1187 also was to provide al-

ternative brand inspection proce-dures for certain rodeo livestock.This bill was brought to the com-mittee by Rep. Heinert. It wouldput in place a permanent brand in-spection for rodeo companys thatare moving livestock to differentareas of the state on a regularbasis. It passed out of committeewith 13 yeas and 0 nays.

This week we were entertainedwith a banquet by the IndependentCommunity Bankers of SouthDakota Association. I have to saythat the information I came awaywith was enlightening to say theleast. I want to leave you withsome facts that Im sure many peo-ple are not aware off. Thirty-nine %is the effective tax rate of mostSouth Dakota Banks, 2.32% is theeffective tax rate of Farm Credit

Services in South Dakota, 0.00% isthe effective tax rate of all SD Fed-eral Credit Unions, $89,386,262 isthe total income of Credit Unionsand Farm Credit Services in 2011,$21,735,593 is what the SD Gen-eral Fund did not receive over thelast 6 years from not collecting the6% Bank Franchise Tax fromCredit Unions and Farm CreditServices. As regulations bearsdown on community banks andsmall towns lose access to financialservices I have to wonder why Con-gress continues to allow expansionof tax exempt entities at the ex-pense of the taxpayers. As these en-tities expand tax revenue cominginto the state general fund will con-tinue to decline which will directlyeffect our schools, roads and gov-ernment services.

As always you can contact me atthe House Chamber number 773-3851. Leave a phone number and

Ill call you back. The fax numberis 773-6806. If you send a fax, ad-dress it to Rep. Elizabeth May. Youcan also email me [email protected] during ses-sion. You can keep track of bills andcommittee meetings at this link:http://legis.state.sd.us/ You can alsouse this link to find the legislators,see what committees they are on,read all the bills and track the sta-tus of each bill, li sten to committeehearings, and contact the legisla-tors.

Well another busy week! Due tothe snow storm Monday sessionwas cancelled and we met on Fri-day for a make-up day.

HB 1151 extended the generalimmunity from liability for direc-tors and officers of certain non-profit fire and ambulancedepartments and to limit certainactions for personal injury ordeath. This bill will ensures ourlocal voluntary firemen and EMTproviders will not be held responsi-

ble for accidents going to emergen-cies in private vehicle.

HB 1128 was brought to thefloor to allow home school studentsthe opportunity to participate inthe Opportunity Scholarship pro-gram. After considerable debate onthe floor the bill did not pass witha vote of 35 yeas and 35 nays.South Dakota Non-Governmentfunded schools save taxpayers$128,985,528 with 16,639 studentsenrolled in over 97 non governmentschools. The SD Dept of Educationexpenditures per average dailymember, 2011-2012 school yearwas a state-wide average cost perstudent was $7,752 and this costdoes not include capital expendi-tures and bond redemption. I votedto pass HB 1128 feeling stronglythat all students are part of SouthDakota and saying other wise ishypocritical.

HB 1135 was a highly con-tentious bill that caused a lot of de-bate on the floor. It regulates accessto and use of non-meandered wa-ters on private property. SD WildLife Federation and the SD GameFish & Parks were highly opposedto this bill. It is the result of flood-ing in the Northeast part of thestate in the past few years. Weheard testimony from land ownersthat corn fields were being dam-aged by sportsmen and concernsabout the safety of their self andprivate property was in question. Iconfer with the V Amendment ofthe US Constitution that reads,No person shall be deprived of life,liberty, or property, without dueprocess of law; nor shall privateproperty be taken for public use,without just compensation. Hadthe SD Wild Life Federaton or SDGame Fish and Park asked for per-mission to carry out hunting and

fishing on private property and al-lowed compensation to the landowner either through tax relief orhunting fees I think this could ofbeen settled. The problem has beenon going for nine years with no ac-tion. It passed the floor with a 37yeas and 32 nays.

HB 1089 an act to requirestatewide livestock ownership in-spection was brought to the com-mittee by Rep. Dean Schrempp. Hestated his ongoing concern with thelack of inspections that are beingconducted. Currently there is nobrand inspection east river. Lastyear there were only eleven inspec-tions of livestock crossing the riverand eight inspections the year be-fore. SD Dept of Agriculture,NCBA, Farm Bureau and SD Live-stock Markets all came out in oppo-sition to this bill stating it was cost

From Representive Liz Mayof our state, we have already seensome of our best and brightestteachers go there, whether they arenew college grads or experiencedteachers. Even the statistics gath-ered which adjust for cost of livingdifferences still put SD at the verybottom when compared to ourneighbors. As more of our teachingworkforce nears retirement, howmuch longer can we really afford tocontinue with business as usual?

Any piece of legislation which

requires an appropriation of fundsmust go through the Appropria-tions Committee. Issues may firstbe heard for testimony and policyconsiderations in another commit-tee, but eventually makes theirway to Appropriations when anytax dollars are attached. In thecase of school funding, often thesebills go to the House or Senate Ed-ucation Committees and then arereferred to Appropriations. The dayI attended this committee, Feb.13th, the Senate AppropriationsCommittee listened to six differentschool funding bills. All bills arebeing deferred to a later date as

Appropriators await the revenueestimates which are scheduled tobe presented by the SD Depart-ment of Revenue during the lastweek of February. Day after day,the Appropriators hear requests formoney from the General Fund, and

must eventually make recommen-dations to the House and Senate asto where we place our priorities.

Every project in the state wantsmoney for a wide variety of proj-ects. Will we put our schools first inline or wait until the very end ofthe line and give them the left-overs? Lets hope this session wecan start to make up for the bigcuts weve taken in the past andhave yet to make up, even in part.

I invite you to contact me withyour questions and concerns onthese topics or any of interest toyou. I may be reached at 605-685-4241 or [email protected]

Its hard to believe but week sixof the SD 2013 Legislature hasended with 24 days out of 38 daySession completed. February 20marks the cross-over day which isthe point in time where all billsmust be completed in their Houseof Origin and travel to the otherlegislative body. We have very fullagendas both in committees and onthe floor as this deadline quicklyapproaches.

I serve on the Senate Health and

Judiciary Committees but I alsospent most of one morning thisweek listening to the Senate Appro-priations Committee. They werescheduled to hear a wide variety ofbills on school funding and Im al-ways interested in that discussion.I thought Id use this weeks col-umn to share some information onthis vital topic.

The good news for SD schools isthat they continue to grow. Thisschool year, there were 1,700 morestudents than last year. Nextschool year (2013-14) we are pro-

jected to grow by another 1,600 stu-dents. The challenge that growthimposes affects both local schooldistricts and state government aswe attempt to direct resources to-wards our schools. Some schools,especially in more remote ruralareas, would love to have thisproblem as they are more likely

to see declining enrollment.School funding is certainly mytop priority as a legislator. Unfor-tunately, this important decision istypically made towards the veryend of the session. We know thatschools are struggling to make upfor the budget cuts of past years.

Youve heard many of the numbersbefore. We are dead last in averageteacher salary. Perhaps even worsenews is that the gap behind # 49(North Dakota) continues to widen.NDs average teacher now makesclose to $7,000 more than the aver-age SD teacher. Wyoming doeseven better and in the western part

The oldest known lens wasfound in the ruins of Ninevehmade from polished rock crystal.

Aristophanes the Greek mentionsin one of his plays, the use of sucha lens to burn holes in parchment,while Pliny the physician used alens to cauterize wounds.

A thousand years later monksstarted using "reading stones",which were sliced off sections ofpolished quartz spheres, andsometime in the later half of the1200s the monks put these readingstones up on their noses and calledthem spectacles.

It is no surprise that it was inVenice, Italy where glassmakingwas (and still is) an art, that con-vex reading or magnifying glasseswere refined.

About three hundred years later,concave lenses were found to helpthe near-sighted Pope Leo the10th, who wore such spectacles toaid him while hunting. It took justabout three hundred more yearsfor bifocals to be invented by

America's own Benjamin Franklin.It was in the mid 1800s that a

protective lens was made that fitdirectly over the eyeball of a manwho had lost his eyelid from skincancer. This first "contact lens"protected his eye from drying outand resulting blindness.

Over the next 150 years contactlenses came into commercial useand moved from blown, to ground,to molded glass, and then to a

whole variety of hard then softplastic lenses.

And now the knowledge of re-fracting light with lenses hasbrought us to computer guided,surgically altering the shape of theeyeball and cornea with scalpels oflaser beams. Where will we gonext?

We recently got a blast from thepast in the form of a letter from aGerman fellow who visited heresome fifty years ago. The followingis what he wrote to the Dear IwanFamily.

Looking through boxes and bun-dles of paper, I came across the en-

closed letter which actually shouldhave reached you some 50 yearsago. As you can see from the enve-lope, it traveled quite a bit aroundthe world before its final dispatchnow. It probably contains somephotographs.

Let me give you some back-ground information. In 1961-62, Ispent a year studying at CornellUniversity. Before returning toGermany, I decided to tour yourcountry and Mexico. I had $250 ofmy own, and, according to the doc-tors at Cornell, being able to standcottage cheese, a loaf of whitebread, and one or two pints of milkevery day for about 120 daysshould guarantee a healthy surviv-ing. I hit the road at the beginningof June 1962. Hitchhiking was themeans of my moving.

On June 14, I asked the driverwho gave me a ride to stop anddrop me at the junction of the roadfrom North Platte to the north. Heasked whether I was sure becausethere would be pretty much of notmuch. When I told him I wouldnot mind and that I wanted to seethe Sandhills region, he mentionedthat in about three days time hewould return on the same route,and, if I was still around, he wouldpick me up again. This was notnecessary. After a few hours, a re-ally old vehicle stopped, picked meup, and gave me a lift. When theyhad to turn off west, I was aloneagain, surrounded by low sanddunes. For the next hours, theheads of cattle appeared, ruminat-ing, looking at me for a few sec-onds, and then submergingagain.

Finally a car approached,stopped, and the driver bent overand asked, What dropped youhere, son? Where do you sleep?

When I answered that I had asleeping bag and the roadside, he

just answered, You might be in fora surprise. This year we have un-usual rainfall. You better jump in.We will find you a roof. And thus,pretty near the middle of nowhereas I started to feel after all thehours of waiting and in a verysilent surrounding, I learned toknow Mr. Iwan, the driver. Drivingfor miles, then at road 16 turningto the west and leaving the high-way at Stamford Store, entering agravel road towards the south, andafter another couple of miles turn-ing around a corner, the days rideended at your ranch. I saw severallow houses and 10 or so men who,if I am not mistaken, were all thesons of the Iwan clan.

In the evening, they asked meto join them for a beer. To my sur-prise, this was 30 or more miles

away across the range. The nextmorning (June 15) very early andafter a great breakfast in the dark-ness, all drove to the center of theranch where I was confronted

with a horse. I had never beennear to such an animal and, aftera few moments, I was on top of it,lifted up by two of the young menwho had stood right and left of me.I followed their advice and stayedatop. The day passed by roundingup and branding cattle. I have to

confess, if you had to make a selec-tion on this day about who was themore useful farmhand, I myselfwould have had to vote definitelyfor the horse. It knew in advancewhere to move to bring the cattletogether and just ignored my or-ders at the reins. In the evening,there was another beer, againsome 15 or so miles across theranch. This time it was towardsthe west.

The next day I was not muchable to move, not so much from thebeer but from daylong range activ-ities. On June 16, all went to arodeo in the Badlands, and I wasglad I didnt have to join the per-formance but could watch from be-hind the fence. After these twogreat days, I hit the road againSeattle, San Francisco, Los Ange-les, Grand Canyon to name onlysome of my stops, and then Mexicoand Yucatan. From there it wasback to New York to catch the shipto Germany.

You may ask, What about theletter prepared for dispatch to youin the Philippines? In 1963 andup to 1965, I went for researchwork to the southern Philippines.My base among the Muslims wasthe Dansalan Junior College inMarawi City. Somehow, the letterslipped in a heap of paper andturned up by chance just now. I donot want to extend this letter, butlet me tell you. The stay at yourranch definitely gave me a greatinsight into life in the countryside,and it impressed me deeply. I justwould like to thank you once morevery much after 50 years. Withbest wishes, Klaus Hausherr.

The letter contained a picture ofthe Stamford Store from a post-card plus five photos of a brandingat our place. In one, I was holding

the back leg of a calf for branding.I would have been between my

junior and senior years of highschool. Also in the photos were Ted

Vobr (who is still on the ranch,) mycousin, Joe Iwan and Jim Srb. TheMr. Iwan noted was my UncleHarold (1899-1979.) A blast fromthe past indeed.

Blast from the Past

Lookin Aroundby Syd Iwan

Mark and Nicci DeVries andsons have been busy with wrestlingagain this week as usual. On Sat-urday, the family was in Rapid Citywhere Gavin and Geoffrey tookpart in the regional wrestling tour-nament. Gavin placed third andwill proceed to the state tourna-ment at Aberdeen next weekend.On Sunday, the family was in

Kadoka for an AAU meet in whichyoungest son, Greyson, took part.For that, Mark helped with themeet, Nicci helped with the conces-sion stand, and the older boys lenta hand as necessary. Monday wasback to school again. After thewrestling season, track and field ison the horizon as a replacement.

Jodie OBryan is getting a lot ofbeading and crafts done while shewaits for her ribs to heal after ahorse fell with her three weeks agoduring a barrel race. Jodie said theribs are better as gauged by thefact that sneezing doesnt hurt asmuch now as it did. She figuresafter more beading and whatnotduring this upcoming week whichis forecast to be cold anyway, sheshould be out and about more. Thisweek, Scot and Jodie had visitorsfrom Ft. Yates, ND, who broughtsome of their horses for shoeing

and training. They have beenbringing horses to the OBryans forabout thirty years now. Other visi-tors included some folks from Har-ford that Jodie grew up with.

John and Jamie Dolezal are nottaking part in the annual play atMidland this year. This is quite achange for both of them. They de-cided they had other things theyshould do at home instead. Havinga young son in the house can some-times promote changes in lifestyleand activities.

Wally and Cheryll Wells werevisited a couple mornings thisweek by Betty Kusick who stoppedin for coffee. Wally doesnt have totend cattle on a daily basis thiswinter since his are currently nearRapid City where his son keeps aneye on them.

Dave and Jean Calhoon werevisited by their three grandchil-dren on Saturday. They picked

them up at Murdo and brought

them to the ranch. James broughta friend along as well. After a busyday, their parents, Dixie andCarston, picked them up and tookthem back home to Vivian. Jamesis now a teenager, Carter is six andEvan is two. Jean said the fourboys were active enough to add alittle brightness to life.

Larry and Jo Johnston also en-

tertained grandchildren on Sun-day, namely Linays children, Alexand Hallie. Hallies twin, however,stayed home with the folks. Alexand Hallie were picked up inKadoka at a wrestling meet that

Alex took part in. Anotherwrestling meet in Philip on Mon-day will serve as a kid-return vehi-cle. Jo said they are still workingon basement renovation as theyhave been for some time now. Thework is proceeding and should bedone before too much longer.

Rick and Ronda Dennis went toRapid City Thursday evening andpicked up their daughter, Bobbi, atthe airport. While in Rapid Citythey were guests of Dana DeVries.In addition to keep some appoint-ments and doing some shopping,they played several games of pitch.Everyone returned home on Satur-day morning.

Floyd and Jane Iwan attended agun show at the Ramkota in Pierreon Sunday. Their son, Harold, wasalso there so they got to visit withhim some at a caf. Floyd said gunprices have taken a jump, probablydue to all the talk about gun con-trol. Sales are brisk. After visitingRunnings and a few other places,Floyd and Jane returned home.Earlier in the week, Floyd hadsome eye surgery in Rapid City toreduce pressure in his eye. He isscheduled to return for a checkuplater this week.

Syd Iwan went to Rapid City onSaturday to get a new love seat forson Chance. Half of the old one wasin a permanent state of recline.Chances TV also gave out lastweek so a new one of those wasfound. Since winter coats were onsale at greatly reduced prices, Sydgot one of those to replace his cur-rent one that is starting to have

zipper problems.

The quickest way to doubleyour money is to fold it andput it back in your pocket.

Andee Beckwith enjoyed takingin the basketball game with herparents, Paul and LuAnne, ofPierre; White River vs. James Val-ley Christian in Ft. Pierre onThursday evening. By all reportsthat was one for the books andWhite River came home to play twomore games back to back. WhiteRiver won all three games, too.Proud doesnt begin to describe ourfeelings any more, those kids de-

serve every ounce of support wecan give them, because they allwork very hard to stay on top. Thefact that we have watched themgrow into talented, intelligent ath-letes is a plus that only we hometown folks can enjoy. We are behindyou all the way, kids. Be sure andattend the game against Lyman onFriday night sponsored by theWhite River Tigers.

Alice Wilmarth is blessed to get

Shorty Ireland had a visit fromhis daughter and othersthroughtout his birthday week. Hereceived so many cards and some ofthem were really funny!

Reverend Ray and ColleenGreenseth of Murdo stopped by tosee Mary Ellen Herbaugh and MelKoester.

Ive got to tell you how over-whelmed I felt this week by all theflowers, cards, balloon bouquets,candy, Valentine hugs and kissesthe residents received, it truly doesmake their day!

Emergency Services Act that, ifpassed, would allow eligible hospi-tals in rural and medically under-served areas to use interactivetelehealth programs that can con-nect at any hour of the day to aboard-certified emergency physi-cian to satisfy the federal emer-gency room staffing requirements.This use of emergency telehealthtechnology in this capacity wouldbe permitted when an associateprovider, such as a physician assis-tant or nurse practitioner, is al-ready on site at the ruralemergency room.

Often, small rural hospitals arenot prepared to deal with complexpatients and will sometimes needto transfer patients to larger, spe-cialized hospitals. Immediate ac-cess to a physician that specializesin emergency medicine via tele-health can help the rural hospitaldetermine whether a transfer isnecessary. This ensures that pre-cious time is not lost waiting forthe on-call physician to arrive. Italso benefits the hospital ensuringthat, when appropriate, the patientcan remain at their local hospital toreceive care. This allows the smallrural hospital to be reimbursed forservices, making it easier for thesesafety-net hospitals to keep theirdoors open.

As a member of the SenateRural Health Caucus, I understandthe importance of access to fast, re-liable emergency medicine in ruralhospitals and will continue to sup-port initiatives, such as this, thatwill strengthen our rural healthcare infrastructure.

In a rural state like SouthDakota where access to specializedmedical care can be hours away,residents depend on critical accesshospitals to help meet their healthcare needs. However, an increasingnumber of rural hospitals are find-ing it difficult to recruit physiciansto these under-served areas of thecountry. For small hospitals withonly a few physicians, current fed-eral laws and regulations requireregular on-call shifts that preventa physician from leaving town.This is a lifestyle that manyyounger doctors are not interestedin pursuing when urban settingscan offer more flexible career op-tions.

Federal regulations for somerural hospitals currently require aphysician to be on-call and able toarrive to the emergency depart-ment within 30 minutes, even if anassociate provider, such as a nursepractitioner or physician assistant,is already covering the emergencydepartment. For physicians insmall hospitals who see patients allday and then must be on call atnight, this creates a 24/7 work en-vironment that can be unattractiveto physicians and unnecessarilydrives up the costs of health care.

However, by utilizing technologythat is already available in hospi-

tals across South Dakota and thecountry, there is a solution thatboth improves emergency care andcreates a work environment thatcan make it easier to recruit physi-cians to rural areas. I recently in-troduced the bipartisanStrengthening Rural Access to

Improving EmergencyHealth Services in Rural Areas

By Senator John Thune

This week President Obama de-livered what is often seen as themost important speech of the year.The State of the Union is deliveredto all three branches of assembledgovernment and to millions of

Americans at home throughout thecountry. It is an opportunity to re-flect, to cast a vision for the upcom-ing year and to set a course for thefuture of the country.

I came away from the State ofthe Union disappointed in the toneand substance of the Presidents re-marks and hearing the words of

Abraham Lincoln echo through mymind. As portrayed in the recentmovie Lincoln, the embattledpresident comments about know-ing True North. He says that acompass may point True North, butwhat good is it if it cant tell youabout the swamps and obstaclesalong the way? In other words, itsone thing to know where youd liketo go, its quite another to have thewisdom to understand what ittakes to get there.

Whether the President knowswhere he wants to take the countryor not, he fails to recognize the ob-stacles that stand directly in ourway. He spoke of wanting new pro-grams and greater federal involve-

ment in nearly every part of ourlives, but barely gave mention ofthe fact that we have a giantswamp called the national debtblocking our path. Understandingthe direction is not enough, weneed true leadership to navigatethe treacherous and winding roadthat will lead us there.

In a few weeks, across-the-boardcuts will begin to take $1.2 trillionout of our national budget. ThePresident says that he wants tofind a better way, but has paid noattention to the two pieces of legis-lation that the House has submit-

ted to responsibly cut spending.Now, after wandering through thepartisan forest, the President andSenate Majority leader are at-tempting, at the last minute, tooffer a map that not only tramplesany progress weve made, butsmashes the compass in theprocess. Thats not leadership,thats politics.

In order to move ahead in a re-sponsible manner, the Presidentmust live up to his words in theState of the Union speech to setparty interests aside. I, and mycolleagues in the House, are readyto once again take up the issue andwork to find common ground. Inthe words of Abraham Lincoln,You cannot escape the responsibil-ity of tomorrow by evading ittoday.

I hope you reach out to my officeand share your thoughts with me.I would love to hear from you.

Increase Your Fruit &Vegetable Consumption:

Drink SmoothiesSmoothies (also known as

smoothees) are popular as healthysnacks, a mini-meal or as adessert. Smoothies similar to ourpresent day smoothies have beenaround since the late 1930s whenthe blender was introduced. Con-sumers were fascinated withblending foods, including fruitsand vegetables. It was during thistime that recipes for smoothiesevolved and the word smoothiewas used to describe a drink.

The first smoothies were simplyfruit, fruit juice and ice. Theywerent overly popular until thenatural food craze of the 1960sand 1970s. Health food storeswere established during thesedecades, often selling blended fruitdrinks. Smoothies are now widelyavailable at smoothie bars, restau-rants, juice bars, health food storesand pre-bottled in grocery stores.

Smoothies are known for theirmilkshake-like consistency. Thethicker consistency is obtained byblending in cubed or pureed frozenfruit. Vegetables that are high infiber and water content are goodchoices for smoothies. To lower thefat and calorie content of smooth-ies, use skim or soy milk, insteadof whole milk and unsweetened

fruit, instead of canned or sweet-

ened frozen fruit. If you choose touse fresh fruit, use fruit at its peakof ripeness to obtain the greatestamount of natural sweetness. Iffruit is less than peak ripeness,add up to one teaspoon of sweet-ener (sugar or honey) or the equiv-alent of a no-calorie sweetener.

Smoothies are quick and easy toprepare at home. Common ingredi-ents in smoothies can include fruit,

juice, yogurt and ice. But almostanything can be made into asmoothie. Some smoothies are pre-pared with spinach or carrots toadd extra nutrients. Sometimessupplemental powders are addedto smoothies to enhance certainhealth qualities of the drinks, in-cluding weight loss, protein andmultivitamin supplements.

Do you want to make asmoothie? Heres an easy FruitSmoothie recipe that serves 4 (1-cup) servings and takes only 5minutes to make. Pour 2 cups ofskim or 1% low-fat milk into ablender. Add 3 cups of frozenstrawberries, 1 large banana and1 cup low-fat yogurt. Blend untilsmooth about 30-45 seconds.

Many states tax the sales ofgoods. A few also tax services.South Dakota has a broad-based,four percent sales tax on nearly allgoods and services.

Because past legislators andgovernors have maintained thebroadness of the tax, it is a steady,reliable source of revenue, even intimes of economic distress.

Broadening this tax base helpedGov. Janklow cut property taxes 30

percent. Taxing the sales of a broadarray of goods and services alsohelps our state avoid an incometax.

However, an ever-present temp-tation exists to ask for exceptions.Interest groups come to Pierre eachyear to argue for a tax exemptionon their particular goods or serv-ices. They are supported by theirlobbyists and members.

These exemptions do not havepolicy goals, other than relieving aparticular group from paying salestax. They are not designed to at-tract new economic activity or helpcreate jobs. Some interest groupshave better arguments than others,but one fact is always true: Eachtime an exemption is created, itbenefits a narrow group at the ex-pense of all other South Dakotataxpayers.

Even if some exemptions are

small, the principle of a broad-based tax is violated.Each time an exemption is

carved out, there is less revenue forpriorities like education, health-

care, or economic development. Foreach exemption, we send a mes-sage to the next interest group thatthey also should try to avoid payingsales tax.

I vetoed legislation last yearthat would have exempted thesales tax on hay for livestock bed-ding. Several exemptions havebeen proposed this year, includingcertain coaching services, somerodeo admissions, and sales of used

truck tires. Certainly these arevery small exemptions, proposed bygroups for whom I have empathy.Still, I must oppose the erosion ofour broad sales tax base throughrepeated, minor exemptions thatignore our overarching policy goals.

I truly believe that we shouldstrive for more TAXPAYERS, notmore TAXES or higher rates.Spreading the burden among manymakes each one's burden lighter.We should not continue to chipaway at our steady, broad tax base.Its easy to agree with each groupand make an exception "just thisonce." But we must be vigilantagainst it.

Voters, taxpayers and the publicin general dont have an associa-tion, interest group or lobbyists. Asyour Governor, I believe its my re-sponsibility to speak for the people.Its my job to work on behalf of the

unorganized many against the in-terests of the organized few. Let'skeep our tax rates low by askingeveryone to share in the responsi-bility to pay.

Head coach Matt Donnelly waspleased for the team and the indi-viduals as they wrestled well at thetourney. The team took 10 kids and

placed nine. Four open slots in the126, 132, 138, and 145 weightclasses were not good for the teamthough, he said. Injuries and ill-ness were the main reasons for theopenings.

Fungicide Seed Treatmentsfor Spring Wheat

Fungicide seed treatments areused when planting many agricul-tural crops and are helpful in pro-moting stand establishment andseedling vigor. Seed treatmentsalso help preserve yield potentialand prevent quality losses in grainby preventing certain seed andsoil-borne diseases.

There are many pathogensfound in the soil which causeseedling diseases and contribute tothe root/crown rot complex inwheat. The root/crown rot complexcan include one or more of the dis-

eases, Common Root Rot, Fusar-ium Root Rot, Take-All,Rhizoctonia Root Rot, andPythium Root Rot. Thesepathogens are always present inthe soil at some level, waiting totake advantage of slow germina-tion, slow early development, andunfavorable environment forwheat seedlings. These pathogenshave similar symptoms and cancause poor overall health and vigorof the plant. These diseases oftenresult in thin, uneven stands,spindly stalks, small spikes,empty/white heads, stuntedplants, weak early growth, yellow-ing of foliage, and reduced yieldand quality.

The primary recommendationto avoid the effects of theroot/crown rot complex is a diversecrop rotation which includes one ormore broadleaf crops. The proper

choice of fungicide seed treatmentscan also help protect the youngseedlings and get them off to a

good start.Loose Smut and Common Bunt

(also known as stinking smut) ap-pear in some wheat fields everyyear. These are two pathogens for

which proper fungicide seed treat-ments are very effective. It isstrongly believed that Loose Smutand Common Bunt could be virtu-ally eliminated if all wheat produc-ers used recommended seedtreatments.In general, seed treatments: aid inmanaging the biotic stresses, areeffective only days to weeks (al-though new chemistry is promis-ing longer periods of protection),are used as the principal insuranceagainst pests, and help the seedand seedlings make it to the stagewhen they can make their own en-ergy (get the seed up and out of theground).

Utilizing a seed treatmentbuilds the foundation for a healthyplant. Healthy roots are the firststep to building the yield potentialyou desire. Without that strongbase, your yield potential is lim-

ited from the start and all other in-puts become less valuable.Healthy seedling development pro-motes good stands and greateryield potential.

Seed treatment has been andcontinues to be a very economicand effective disease managementtool in South Dakota wheat pro-duction.
