OHS Slams Brakes On Texting And DrivingPIERRE — Twenty-three times more likely to be in a crash or

near-crash. According to a study by the Virginia TechTransportation Institute, those are your odds if you send text mes-sages while driving.

And a study by Car and Driver magazine shows it takes drivers70 feet to hit the brakes when sending a text message, comparedto 4 feet when legally drunk. Findings like these are prompting theSouth Dakota Office of Highway Safety <http://lspr.pr-optout.com/Url.aspx?514891x822680x-798940> to take action inhopes of reducing distracted driving in the state.

The office has developed a public service announcement toraise awareness of the dangers of texting and driving<http://lspr.pr-optout.com/Url.aspx?514891x822679x-1315035> .The 30-second television spot confronts viewers with the risk theypose not only to themselves, but also to others when texting whiledriving.

“The ultimate goal of the texting while driving spot is to keepSouth Dakota’s drivers and roadways safe,” says Lee Axdahl,director of the Office of Highway Safety. “We want to educate thepublic about this dangerous, deadly habit. Sending a quick textmessage may seem inconsequential, but taking your eyes off theroad, even for a few seconds to send a short message, couldcost a life.”

The television spot entitled “Texting and Driving. Save a Life.Save it for L8R” will start playing on television stations acrossSouth Dakota the week of June 21.

Hay Farms near Gayville, werelucky to get their first cutting ofhay finished in early June. Theywork on a 28-day rotation, usingthe weeks in between cuttings toplant corn and beans.

While the 28-day mark for thesecond cutting is approaching,Freeburg hopes the weather iscool and dry, despite what Juneand July weather typicallybrings.

“Normally we will get fourcuttings off all our fields, andbecause we started as early aswe did, there’s no reason weshouldn’t get that crop,”Freeburg said. “For a lot of farm-ers who didn’t get in there andget started, they might not getthat last crop. They might onlyget two to three cuttings at themost.”

Still, farmers like Freeburgand Van Gerpen are worriedabout their crops in lower areasthat have been plagued by stand-ing water.

“We’ve got standing water inspots that most generally younever see it,” Van Gerpen said.“Five inches over a three- orfour-day period has got to bepretty rare.”

The biggest problem of anoverly wet year, both farmers

said, is the long-term effects.Alfalfa hay, a perennial crop, isplanted in the same field for fouror five years. Rain damage oneyear will affect the field’s pro-duction capabilities every yearafter that.

Heavy equipment andmachinery driving on the wetfields creates problems later on,too.

“Wherever there’s wheeltracks from semis or heavyequipment, grass wants to comeup in those areas,” Freeburgsaid. “It’s a challenge.”

All those problems contributeto the overall hay quality.

Without bright and sunnydays, the quality of the hay is atrisk. Dairy farmers especially arelooking for the best quality ofhay because their milk produc-tion depends on it, Freeburgsaid.

“I project production will beup, and the quality will bedown,” Van Gerpen said, “butthat can all change.”

For now, area farmers playthe waiting game.

“Grass in town dries up quick-ly, and people think it’s the samein the country,” Freeburg said.“All you have to do is drive overto the Gayville, Volin, Mecklingand Mission Hill area. That’swhere your ground water table isand it’s very high. It’s been highall spring and it’s going to take awhile for that water to go down.

fiscal year. There are fewerparole violators among themen, but more first-timeoffenders.

The average length of stay —14 months for women and 20months for men — is changed lit-tle from a year ago.

A May report showed that 38percent of the inmates convict-ed of violent crimes were inprison for rape or aggravatedassault. For nonviolent crimes,the largest percentage ofinmates (12 percent) were therefor possession of a controlledsubstance.

Bartling, D-Burke, said it’simportant that the state contin-ue to fund CorrectionsDepartment programs to provideeducation or GeneralEducational Development (GED)classes to inmates.

“That’s an area that I thinkmoney could be very well spent,and just continuing some educa-tional opportunities. ... I’m a firm

believer all the way around thata good education is a verystrong part of a person’s life andability to make good for them-selves and their families” shesaid.

Part of the reason for a level-ing off in the prison count is astate population that is growingolder. Young people are mostoften those at risk to commitcrimes, Feiler said.

Programs that target aninmate’s specific needs, such asending methamphetamine use,also are helping, she said.

Gov. Mike Rounds has creat-ed the Re-entry Council to lookfor ways to keep releasedinmates from committing anoth-er crime. The state’s recidivism,or re-offending rate, is 30 per-cent.

Feiler said the DOC mightrelax some policies if that canhelp minimize parole violations.For example, it might be betterfor some parolees to have familysupport and be without a jobthan to require that they haveboth a place to live and a job,she said.

The number of parolees willaverage 2,800 this fiscal year.
