Gov. Dennis Daugaard has is-ued an Executive Order that,pon receipt of a permit, grantsermission to move over-widthaled livestock feed not exceeding2-feet-wide or 15-feet-high inouth Dakota two hours afterunset and two hours before sun-se.

Over-width vehicles must bequipped with flashing or rotat-ng white or amber warningghts placed at each side of the

ment under the executive order isalid only for baled livestock feed.

The Governors Executiverder allows over-width movingf baled livestock feed until cessa-on of the drought emergency oro later than Oct. 20, 2012.

This summers persistentrought conditions have left live-ock producers across Southakota with inadequate feed sup-lies, said Walt Bones, Southakota Secretary of Agriculture.

Increasing hauling height andidth restrictions for baled hayill allow producers to move feed

n a more efficient manner.The normal restriction on

outh Dakota highway loads is4-feet, 3-inches high and 8-feet,-inches wide. Although height and width re-

rictions for baled livestock feedave been temporarily increasedy Executive Order, several high-ays in the state have width andeight restrictions in place be-

Gladys Dessie (Butler) Hansenwas born to Burtis G. and AgnesJameson) Butler near Faith, SD,

on April 9, 1921, the 6th of sevenurviving children. She dedicated

her life to Jesus Christ as aeenager and strove to honor Himhroughout her life. Despite lim-ted resources, her parents pro-

vided opportunity for Gladys andher siblings to develop their Godgiven musical abilities. Faith,amily, and music greatly defined

Gladys.Upon graduating from Faith

High School in 1938, Gladysmoved with her parents to Stur-gis and then to the Corning, IA,area. In the fall of 1942, they re-urned to Sturgis. Gladys enjoyedraveling while working for the

Farmer's Home Administrationrom 1943 to 1954. Being single,he greatly enjoyed time spent

with her many nieces andnephews. On November 28, 1954,Gladys was united in marriage toOdin Hansen at Denton, MT. Shewas blessed with an instant fam-ily with Odin's three sons,Leonard, Eugene, and Robert,whose mother, Ethel ArvidsonHansen, had passed away in1945. Odin, Gladys, and the boyslived on a farm near Platte, SD,before moving back to Sturgiswhere she and Odin owned andoperated rental property from1956 to 1975. She was also em-ployed at H O Anderson Hard-ware before adding to their familyanother son, Larry, and daughter,Odena. From 1974 to 1983, shewas employed at the Fort Meade

VA Medical Center.Upon retirement, Gladys and

Odin enjoyed traveling to visittheir children. But most of theirsummers were spent close tohome at the Hart Ranch nearRapid City. Gladys enjoyed read-ing, watching Trinity Broadcastnetwork, music, and the "gift of gab." She especially enjoyed play-ing her mandolin. She remainedinvolved in the lives and activitiesof her children, grandchildren,and great-grandchildren, even if unable to physically participate inthose events. Her relationshipwith her sisters and their chil-dren remained very close.

Following the loss of Odin in2006, she often said she had herticket ready for her final trip.Her heart longed for the daywhen she would join her loved

ones in heaven. On Monday, Au-gust 20, 2012, at the age of 91, theLord finally allowed her to usethat ticket. She peacefully passedfrom this life to her eternal re-ward at the Sturgis CommunityHospital. That day she spoke toMarilyn, her daughter-in-law,about the party Marilyn waspreparing. Even though it seemedshe was confused, we now know itwas the celebration of her life andhomecoming. Her quick wit anddetermined spirit will be fondlyremembered. Gladys was a mem-ber of the Open Bible Church, theSturgis Senior Citizens Center,and a local chapter of TOPS.

Gladys is survived by her sons,Leonard (Marilyn), Sturgis, SD,Robert (Robin), Bellevue, WA,and Larry (Pam), Burnsville, MN;daughter, Odena (Mark) Koth,Sioux Falls, SD; fourteen grand-children; eight great-grandchil-dren; one sister, Laura (George)Levin, Sturgis; and a host of nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death byher husband, Odin; son, Eugene;brother, Leonard Butler; and sis-ters, Marjorie Gabrielson, MarianBarker, Dora Walter, and RuthShroyer.

Visitation was Friday, August24th from noon to 8:00 p.m. withthe family present from 6:00 p.m.to 8:00 p.m. at Kinkade FuneralChapel, with a sharing service at7:00 p.m.

wouldnt be better and less costlyo cross the road and let the waterun on the west side of the road.

Dave Lutz said he would have toheck the elevation, and the ditch

was not as deep on that side. Theulvert would be pretty shallow if

ran that side. The plan nowwould have the culvert running

nder the approach at the fair-rounds. Council decided to bidhe project out and see how itomes in. Dupper said the crewas been busy working on thingst the school.

Police Chief Frankfurth re-orted that his grant applicationor equipment has been accepted.he funds cant be spent until Oc-

ober 1st. He said there are cer-ain things the PD has to do forhe grant, as promoting Dont

Debbie clarified payments forcommittee meetings. She said theonly committee meeting is theswimming pool. The library com-mittee has never been paid. Somewere being paid because theywere on so many committees andit took a lot of their time. Councilapproved no longer paying mem-bers for committee meetings.

The Information Center is clos-ing for the season. Debbie won-dered if Council wanted toadvertise for help to keep it openthe rest of the year. Helleksondidnt feel that it was feasible tokeep it open. Corinna will beworking there through Homecom-ing, hopefully. Mayor Haines saidit is nice to have it open in thespring/summer months, as itsaves the office gals a lot of time.Members didnt feel it was neces-sary to have it open during thewinter months. Riley asked if there was a job description, andDebbie said there is.

Wednesday, I was in the FaithClinic to see Verna Schad. Vernasked me to tell everyone that shes trying to continue working athe clinic one day per week. Herusband Syd, has cancer and

must have two people with him atll times. His doctors started him

on a new drug that has seemed toslow the progression of the dis-ease. Now it is time to wait andsee what it does. Things had

looked better last week, so letspray for Verna, Syd, and theirfamily, and their medical people.Prayer can pull some mightystrong strings!

Tucker and Bev Hudson andSharon Keffeler took a miniweekend vacation to St. Paul,Minnesota to visit their cousinsMargaret McMonigal, CathyFlanagan, and Jim Kasal andfamilies. There was a lot of greatvisiting and eating plus a very en-

joyable pontoon ride on the St.Croix River next to the Wisconsinborder. They returned home onTuesday. They commented that,It sure was green in Minnesotacompared to South Dakota.

Tucker, Bev and Tina Hudson

drove to Ft. Pierre on Wednesdayto attend the funeral services forTucker's Aunt Marion Hudson.Others from this area attendingthe services were Brent, Gina andJessie Hoffman. This was Brent'sGrandma Hudson. Our sympathyis extended to all the family but,especially to Brent. Its darn hardto lose Grandmas.

Lacey, Robert and Quirt Won-dercheck were in Rapid City Fri-day for doctors appointments.They took in Story Book Islandafter the doctor appointment.

I had a call this week concern-

Good luckJana, now get movin it.

The drought continues aroundhere. It looks like most of the areacorn is being chopped for silageand many acres of wheat went forhay. The number of semis leavingthe area loaded with hay have di-minished to near zero but once inawhile you still see one headedsouth. I believe Ive heard that lit-tle square bales are selling for$5.00 per bale and hay is $200-$300 per ton. Many of the folksthat run livestock on SulfurCreek aka Cherry Creek are notable to allow the stock to drinkfrom it as the sulfur content killsthem. Some ranchers have hadseven or more cows die in a shorttime. The stock dams are mostlylow and grass is darn short. Right

now I think all our area folks arescanning the skies for signs of smoke as we are tinder dry. Notbeing able to burn creates an-other problem for us countryfolks, garbage. It just keeps pilingup. We have no service to haul itaway so we are putting it in plas-tic bags in a spare shed. When itrains, Harold spends the day get-ting as much trash burned as hepossibly can. Even if we haul re-cyclables to the Hills it still reallypiles up. Chad King commentedthat the problem with having tostore it is that the raccoons andcats get in, tear the bags open,and string the trash around. Ivealso heard that some ranchershave tried to water their corralsdown so the dust wont be so badwhen they work cattle. They weresaying it takes one whole day of running water on a spot to getany action on the dust. Were alsoseeing an increase in the numberof dead deer. Here again, talk isthat they are getting sick fromthe deer mites. Ive heard of manypeople finding them dead in theirstock dams which makes us thinkthey were probably feverish. Ivetried to update our far awayfriends and neighbors of thethings going on around here. Letme know if youve got news. 985-5318 or [email protected]

Twenty-two veterinarians at20 clinics are now trained andcertified to do the nitrate Quik-Test on standing forages.

Producers should take stand-ing forage that has been cut atground level to SDSU Extensionlocations or veterinary clinicsthat have the testing available.Such crops include milo, corn,millet, sudan, soybeans, etc.

The test does not work on cornthat has already been chopped forsilage. In this situation the sam-ple would need to be sent to a labfor quantitative analysis.

Gov. DaugaardsColumn

mart On Crime About a month ago, legislative

eadership, the Chief Justice andannounced the formation of the

Criminal Justice Initiative. Thisnitiative has three goals: make

he public safer, hold criminalsccountable for their actions, andse public funds efficiently.

Since the initial announce-ment, a work group comprised of aw enforcement, prosecutors,egislators, defense attorneys,udges, treatment providers, andmembers of my staff have meteveral times to look at ways tochieve those goals.

I have no policy change propos-ls which are driving this effort.

Neither does the Chief Justice orhe members of the work group.olicy proposals, if any, shouldome at the end after the factsave been examined, and evi-ence-based practices have beentudied.

Thus far, work group meetingsave been a good examination of outh Dakotas criminal justiceystem, from probation to prisono parole. The group is consider-ng what other states do, and howhey spend their corrections dol-ars. We should not be afraid toook critically at ourselves. If weind something we cannot defend,hen perhaps it is indefensiblend needs to be changed.

In short, we dont know whatolicies will come from this initia-ve, as it is still in the fact-gath-ring and policy-consideringtages.

There are a few issues anddeas that this work group is notonsidering. The work group isot discussing letting current of-enders out of prison. The workroup is not considering changeso the death penalty, the juvenileustice system, or the sex-offenderegistry. The work group is notonsidering deeper societal ques-ons that could be a root cause of rime, such as poverty or educa-on. These are important issues,ut they are so complex in theirwn right that they could over-

whelm the discussion. The groups instead focusing on increasedublic safety, more offender ac-ountability, and efficient use of axpayer dollars.

South Dakota incarceratesmore people per capita than our

eighboring states nearly twicehe rate of North Dakota andMinnesota. South Dakotas pris-ns are filling, and locking moreeople up has a significant cost.rojections show that if wehange nothing our prison pop-lation will increase 25 percentver the next 10 years, at an ad-itional $224 million cost. At oururrent rate, we will need to buildnew womens prison in just a

ew years and another mensrison not long afterward. Theollars we would use are fundshat we could not spend on other

priorities, such as education, eco-nomic development, or infrastruc-ture.

This does not mean that ourprisons are full and we shouldstop locking people up. We should

and will continue to lock up dan-gerous, violent career criminals.We should never be afraid of

self-examination. I look forwardto the recommendations of thework group, because I believe wewill find ways to improve. I be-lieve we can do a better job of keeping the public safe, whilespending tax dollars more effec-tively. That will allow us to spendmore on schools, roads and jobcreation, or provide tax relief.

We are committed to makingSouth Dakota safer, holding crim-inals more accountable, and pro-viding taxpayers with a betterpublic safety return for their cor-rections dollars.

South Dakotas average com-posite ACT score remains un-changed from last year at 21.8,where it has been for the pastthree years. The national averagewas also unchanged from a yearago, sitting at 21.1 as it has forfour of the past five years.

While South Dakotas scoresare consistently higher than thenational average by severaltenths of a point, South DakotaSecretary of Education Dr.Melody Schopp says there is al-ways room for improvement.

She said efforts, such as imple-mentation of the Common CoreState Standards, should helpboost student learning overall.With the Common Core, studentswill be challenged to engagehigher-level thinking skills inorder to arrive at a deeper under-standing of the concepts they arelearning.

The Common Core standardswere designed to equip studentswith the knowledge and skillsnecessary as they move into post-secondary education and careers,Schopp said.

The ACT is scored on a scale of 1 to 36, with 36 as the highestpossible score. Students aretested in the areas of English,mathematics, reading and sci-ence, although the science portion

is science reasoning, not science-content knowledge. The ACT testis commonly used as a benchmarkfor college entrance and readi-ness.

In South Dakota, 81 percent of graduating seniors took the ACT,which is high for states that dontrequire ACT testing for gradua-tion.

The state Department of Edu-cation offers South Dakota stu-dents several resources toprepare for the test, such as ac-cess to free test preparation ma-terials available throughSDMyLife.com, an online aca-demic and career planning re-source hosted by the department.

In addition, the departmentcollaborates with the Board of Re-gents to identify and assist high

school students whoseindicate they will requation at the college andlevel.

xpanding access to credit in ruralmerica As drought continues across

merica, President Obama and Iontinue doing all we can to help

roducers. In addition to the ac-ons weve already taken, we willontinue to call on Congress toass a Food, Farm and Jobs Billhat gives USDA more tools toelp, while providing more cer-inty for our producers.

Throughout this disaster,SDA has worked hard to offer

mergency access to credit forarmers and ranchers.

In the early days of therought, USDA acted to lower thenterest rate for FSA Emergencyoans from 3.75 percent to 2.25ercent. This week, USDA an-ounced that we will modifymergency loans by allowingoans to be made earlier in theeason helping livestock produc-

rs to offset increased feed costs,s well as those who have liqui-ated herds.

In addition weve continuedorking with the Small Businessdministration and the Nationalredit Union Administration to

urther increase emergency lend-

ing in drought-stricken areas.But the importance of access to

credit in rural America goes wellbeyond the current drought.Under President Obama, USDA

has made access to credit a prior-ity for producers, for rural busi-nesses, and for families and wehave achieved a record amount of accomplishments.

Since 2009, USDA has made orguaranteed a record number of loans for farmers and ranchers more than $1.8 billion in loans fornearly 130,000 producers.

USDA has made a record levelof loans, along with grants, tohelp nearly 58,000 rural smallbusinesses grow, creating or sav-ing hundreds of thousands of jobsin rural areas.

Weve provided loans and loanguarantees for more than 520,000families to buy or refinance ahome, to ensure that Americans

who are working hard and play-ing by the rules have a chance toachieve the dream of homeowner-ship.

Governor Dennis Daugaard isking motorists to be extra care-l when traveling on Labor Dayeekend.

Labor Day is the unofficial endsummer, and families often

ake it a time for one final outinggether, the governor said.

Ten people were killed and 247hers were injured in crashes onouth Dakota roads during thest five Labor Day weekends, ac-rding to the state Office of Acci-nt Records. Four of thosetalities involved alcohol-relatedashes.

Designating a sober driverd always making it a firm prac-

tice to never drink and drivegreatly increase the chances of having a safe trip and an enjoy-able holiday weekend, Daugaardsaid. Most accidents are entirelypreventable if drivers make safechoices and make sure their pas-sengers do, too.

That means always using seat-belts, heeding speed limits, notoverdriving road conditions andnever driving after drinking.

Those are important habitswhenever you travel, the gover-nor said. They are especially im-portant when additional trafficwill be on our highways duringLabor Day weekend.

Governor Daugaardasks Labor Dayravelers to stay safe
