Although Feb. 2 may be knownto most as Groundhog Day andPunxsutawney Phil tends to hogmost of the attention, the GreatPlains Zoos African PygmyHedgehogs want the public toknow that its also HedgehogDay.

Groundhog Day can trace itsbeginnings back thousands ofyears to ancient Rome, where, ac-cording to legend, Romans usedthe hedgehog as the original prog-nosticator of weather conditions.Eventually, the tradition made itsway to America, but, becausehedgehogs are not native to North

America, the settlers substitutedgroundhogs for hedgehogs.

In December of 2011, the De-partment of Veterans Affairs (VA)

announced its intention to recon-igure the VA Black Hills HealthCare System services located inHot Springs, Fort Meade, andRapid City. The proposal sparkedgreat concern throughout HotSprings and the surroundingommunities about how the VAhanges would affect the quality

and availability of health care forhousands of area veterans whoely on these facilities. These vet-rans, many of whom already faceinancial and transportation-re-ated challenges, would be forcedo travel an additional 1.5 hoursor care at a VA hospital. In Pine

Ridge for example, veteransworry that without access to theHot Springs VA they will have to

ely on the already overburdenedndian Health Service or face sig-

nificant travel burdens to try tomeet their health care needs.

I understand the obstacles thatlosing this facility pose to provid-ng our veterans with the highest

quality health care, and since theproposal was announced I haveemained adamant that the

voices of our veterans and the HotSprings community must be apart of any changes.

After months of requests,phone calls, and letters, I, alongwith Senator Johnson, Represen-

tative Noem, Governor Daugaard,and representatives from Save

the VA committee, met with VASecretary Eric Shinseki on Janu-ary 28, 2013. The meeting, origi-nally scheduled for 45 minutes,lasted about an hour and a half,giving the Save the VA represen-tatives the opportunity to thor-oughly present their case to theSecretary.

Their presentation was well-delivered and their passion forhelping veterans and their com-munity was clear. In fact, SenatorJohanns of Nebraska, who wasalso in attendance, noted howstrongly the community of HotSprings supports the VA hospi-

tal. The Save the VA representa-tives asked the Secretary to con-

sider the points they raised, andwhile they asked that he with-draw the original proposal, theymade it clear that they are willingto negotiate with the Secretary ontheir counterproposal.

I appreciate Secretary Shin-seki taking the time to attend thismeeting and the attention hegave to the presentation. Whilethe timeline for a decision re-mains unclear, I remain commit-ted to ensuring that the VA willcontinue to meet the importanthealth care needs of area veter-ans.

Sunday, Jim and Vonnie O'Deaheaded to Rapid City to theSDHS 20X Extreme Rodeo whereheir grandson Michael Deichert

participated in team roping. Theymet Susan, Mary, Rachel, Amy,and Aunt Holly and PaigePhillips. Later they all enjoyedsupper together before headinghome.

Monday, O'Deas went to Philipo attend the funeral of Jim He-

witt. They had worked for the He-witt Ranch 5 plus years in the1960s.Then Tuesday, back to theuneral of Marie Hansen. They

visited many old friends in the 2days in Philip. Marie's daughterhad taught Vonnie in the 4 & 6thgrades, and another daughter

graduated with Vonnie andLaVonne from Philip HighSchool.

Thursday saw Vonnie O'Dea inSturgis reporting for jury duty.Later, Jim and Vonnie met inRapid and went to the rodeo andater met siblings, LeRoy and

Twila Dean, Betty and JimSmith, and Terry Buchert for aate supper. The O'Deas spent the

early and got their families toMarcus enjoying some good visit-ng till show time. No off Broad-

prize was a DIAMOND RING ... Ihappened to know the person whoheld that lucky ticket ... it wasntong till the diamond was dull and

the ring part turned their fingergreen, but who cared ... IT CAMEFROM THE M & M TENTSHOW ... the highlight of thesummer during those dry, nasty,dirty thirty summers.

There was a nice turnout atthe Marcus Church on Sunday.We are glad to hear Pastor Con-nie's husband Jim is home on IV'sfor 8 weeks for Staph infection.Then they will go back in and puta new knee in that they removed.

Last Tuesday was a beautifulday. It started snowing around 5that evening and got heavier asthe night went on, but it didntamount to anything. We hadsome really cold temperatureslast Wednesday and Thursday.Wednesday morning was a verycold day with plenty of wind.Thursday morning we had a -12at 7:30 with a wind chill of aminus 41!! It reached a high of4. Friday morning the tempera-ture was around 10 at 7:30 anddidnt get a whole lot warmer.Temperatures rose on Saturdayand stayed on the warmer sidethrough the weekend and intothis week. I think spring has ar-rived already. Saturday wasGroundhog Day and Punxse-tawney Phil didnt see his shadowso, supposedly, we should have an

early spring.Cole Elshere had the highscore of 81 in the Saddle BroncFuturity at the Black Hills Stock

Show last week. He also scoredan 81 in the rodeo on Fridaynight. Good going Cole!

Dave and Eldora Fischbachspent most of the last week or soat their house in Rapid City. Davewas home a few days but wentback to spend a few more days.

According to Jim Thompson onhis radio program, our friendCarv Thompson had 6 bypassesdone in the last few days. Dave

and Eldora had an email fromMarg and said he is doing good.

The Super Bowl didntturn out the way I was hoping,but it sure was a good game! The49ers were down 28-6 at the halfand came back in the third quar-ter to within 5 points but fellshort at the end to lose by 3points, 34-31. It was exciting upto the last two minutes when theywere unable to score on their lastpossession, and the Ravens tookover to end the game. I cantimagine being the parents of thetwo rival coaches. How do yousupport both of them? Youd wantthem both to win, but there hadto be a loser. Too bad it was JimHarbaughs team, the 49ers!

I was a little disappointed inthe commercials. I didnt think

The South Dakota Game Fishand Parks Commission is propos-ing two changes to Special BuckDeer Licenses for 2013.

The proposed changes wouldallow resident hunters to hold ei-ther West River Special Buck orEast River Special Buck tags forany one year, but not both.

Special Buck License alloca-tions would also be based on 4

percent of the previous years al-

location of Resident Deer Li-censes that included an anydeer tag for both East River andWest River seasons. For 2013,that would be a proposed 461 res-ident and 461 nonresident WestRiver Special Buck Licenses and687 resident East River SpecialBuck Licenses.

and Nancy HaighAs long was theres horses and

ulls to ride, calves to rope andeers to wrestle, there will be

owboys to ride, rope and wrangle.Grow up in South Dakota and

ou will be exposed to rodeo at a

ery early age. And soon after theons and daughters start headinghat direction.

Two fellas from western Southakota took to the rodeo trail atn early age. Tom Miller, Faith,nd Ken Lensegrav, formerly of

Meadow and now of Interior, gothe urge and both did very welll the way through the Profes-onal Rodeo Cowboy Association

odeos.Tom grew up on the Miller

anch near Avance. Tom attended

graduated from Sturgis HighSchool in 1967. Ken grew up nearMeadow and graduated from Lem-mon High School in 1985. Bothborn and bred ranch boys.

Tom got interested in rodeoingwhen he was about seven yearsold and Ken figures he was right

about that age, too. For Tom atthat time it was roping, as his dadroped calves in the Rodeo Cowboys

Association.Both started out in 4-H rodeos

and they give credit to those whohelped them get started. Ken isquick to give credit to his dad,Dave Lensegrav, for helping himget a start. Dave did his fair shareof riding in the roughstock eventswhen he was in high school andthen amateur rodeos. Ken alsogives credit to Pat Linger, Miles

Mller ad Lesegrav ecourage rodeo outhCity, Mont., for helping him to bethe best he could.. There havebeen many people who influencedTom over the years. In his earlieryears it was Bud Day and PeteLongbrake. Ralph Maynard, JohnMcBeth and Richard Bahm werebig influences on him when he

started competing in the PRCA.Ken noted that as long as you

were riding, you were learning.He traveled the circuit with theGarrett brothers, Marvin andMark, along with Wayne Her-man. They all shared advice onhow to get the best ride possible.

Both men continue that tradi-tion of helping area youth. Tomhas held saddle bronc schools atJohnny Holloways at EagleButte, also Korkow Rodeo Schoolat Canning, and in Gillette, Wyo.,for over 30 years to help theyounger riders learn the tech-niques of riding. He still will helpyoung bronc riders if they needhelp with their saddles or whenthey get on practice horses.

Ken said he enjoys helping thekids, teaching them what heknows along with passing on agreat tradition. He said hes al-ways available to help if asked.

The best advice Tom and Kenoffer for young 4-H or high schoolcontestants is to like what you doand have fun doing it. You needto stay aggressive and keep a pos-itive attitude, said Tom. Kenagreed that the positive attitudeis a key element. He said youfocus on being positive and hav-ing the best ride each and everytime. Tom advises them to attenda school and learn the basics.

Ken urged them to make surethey have a good mentor andteacher. If they dont have a par-ent to help them, like he did, theycan find help. The kids in SouthDakota are lucky, he said.There are so many that haverodeoed, there is a lot of help outthere.

When Tom got into 4-H hecompeted in breakaway, barebackand steer wrestling. By the timehe was in high school he addedcalf roping, team roping and sad-dlebronc to his events, and com-peted in the South Dakota HighSchool Rodeo Association. In theNational Intercollegiate Rodeo

Association he competed in everyevent which included bareback,calf roping, steer wrestling, teamroping, saddlebronc, and bull rid-

ing.After college, Tom really got in-volved in rodeo, competing inSouth Dakota Rodeo Association,Northwest Ranch Cowboys Asso-ciation and PRCA. In 1969, hewon the saddlebronc and allaround titles in the SDRA andNRCA. He also won all around inthe National IntercollegiateRodeo Association in 1970 and1971.

Tom joined the PRCA in 1969and remains a member today.Tom competed in the PRCA until1983, and qualified for the Na-

tional Finals Rodeo six timesfrom 1975-1981. He missed qual-ifying in 1978. In three of thoseappearances he won the averagein saddlebronc, in 1975, 1979 and1981. The biggest disappointmentin his career was missing theworld title by $5.28 in 1979. Tomput on thousands of miles thoseyears, competing in about everyrodeo there was to win the money,

including the Black Hills StockShow Rodeo.Kens rodeo career was similar

to Toms. Ken started out with 4-H and high school. He won arodeo scholarship to MontanaState University in Bozeman. Hewon the national collegiate bare-back rodeo titles in 1988 and 1989and was the all around championin 1988 and reserve all around in1989.. He also rode saddle broncswhile in high school and college.His first year in the PRCA, in1987, he was named as rookie ofthe year. He qualified for theNFR every year between 1988and 1997. He was runner-up inthe world for bareback in 1996.He also won titles in the Bad-

lands Circuit and Dodge NationalCircuit.

Rodeo is much different todaythan it was when they were onthe circuit. The prize money hasincreased immensely. When Tomwon the average at the NFR, themost he ever won was $18,000. In1975, the first year he went to theNFR, he won one round, placed insix others and won the average;he came out of there with about$5,600! Thats nothing compared

om riding, he still goes to theRCA rodeos and serves as adge. He has also been a judger the saddlebronc at the NFRveral times. The saddlebroncders selected him to judge theFR in 1985, 2010 and 2011.Tom has achieved much in his

etime, along with all the titleswon, Tom was inducted into

e Casey Tibbs Hall of Fame inctober 1994.

Tom and Ken remain involvedth rodeo today judging. Tomes some PRCA rodeos while

en does 4-H, SDRA, and rough-ock series events.

Miller/Lesegrav - continued from previous page

Tom also keeps busy on theranch at Red Owl, where they runa Black Angus cow/calf operationand also raise quarter horses.Tom met his wife Vivian at arodeo in Ft. Worth, Texas andthey were married in February1978. In 1987, Tom and Vivianmoved to the Miller Ranch at RedOwl with their two sons, Jeff andRyan.

Ken and his wife, Kim, and

daughters, Katie and Kelsey,ranch between Kyle and Interior.Ken is also a director for theSouth Dakota High School Rodeo

Association.

Ken said, Im very thankful Iwas given the chance to grow upin western South Dakota and hadthe opportunity to do what Ivedone. He said the good thingabout traveling across the nationis that he realized how good west-ern South Dakota really is andthe getting to come back home toit.

Ken and Tom have seen thesport of rodeo evolve into what it

is today, and they are preparedthrough their experience to helptodays contestants make theirdreams come true.

A series of forums which beganin mid-January across the statehosted by the South Dakota De-partment of Agriculture (SDDA)

and SDSU Extension will con-tinue thru March 21. The remain-ing 18 sessions will be held atarea livestock markets statewideto discuss South Dakota's visionfor livestock production.

"Agriculture is South Dakota'sNo. 1 industry, with the total eco-nomic impact of the ag sector of$21 Billion in 2010. Livestock is amajor contributor to the agricul-tural economy with the totalvalue of livestock alone being $3billion. Revenue generated fromlivestock and jobs that are cre-ated in processing and manufac-turing of the livestock industryimpact the overall infrastructureand the economic health of thestate," said B. Lynn Gordon,

Cow/Calf Extension Field Special-ist.

Gordon adds that SouthDakota is fortunate to have ac-cess to the resources needed forlivestock production, such as ac-cess to land, water and feed re-sources as well as progressive,entrepreneurial people interestedin raising and developing live-stock.

"By combining these resourcesalong with relevant research fromthe land grant University ofSDSU, South Dakota has theability to produce food for de-mands of the domestic and inter-national markets," Gordon said.

Agricultural producers are in-vited to attend these forums to

join SDDA and SDSU Extension

"Management and prepared-ess is what it will take to make through another year if therought continues," Waters said.

It is the goal of Waters andther SDSU Extension Livestocktaff to help producers be as pre-ared as possible to make critical

Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Exten-ion to host a five-part webinareries with the focus of helpinganchers across the state prepareor the possibility of the droughtontinuing in 2013. This series of

meetings is titled "ManagingDrought Risk on the Ranch."

"UNL Extension and theDrought Mitigation Center havedone an outstanding job puttingtogether this program. They haveslated some of the best speakersavailable to provide critical infor-

mation to producers. Attendingthese meetings will provideranchers with the tools they needto set critical trigger dates, andbegin to develop a long term man-agement plan," Waters said.

She adds that these meetingsare also intended to educate pro-fessionals and consultants whowork with ranchers as a profes-sional development series.

The webinars will be presentedthe last Wednesday starting Jan.30 and concluding in May. Onehour webinars will begin at 9 a.m.MST or 10 a.m. CST at the SDSUExtension Regional Centers.Each session will include currentdrought updates, forecasts andpresentations about specific infor-

mation or tools.Following each webinar, the

regional centers will join togethervia video conference for a ques-tion and answer session whereSDSU Extension State and FieldSpecialists will provide additionalinformation relevant to SouthDakota producers.

Topics each month will con-

I hope everyone survived theitter cold Wednesday night. Theemperature when I drove to the

Capitol Thursday morning was aminus 8 degrees in Pierre andwhen I came back to the ranch

hat evening our thermometerhowed that it had been almost7 below zero here. But theresope that spring is on the way

my Gurneys seed catalog has ar-ived!

Thursday was the 16th legisla-ive day of the 2013 session andhe end of the fourth week. Mon-ay was the first time we got toee exactly how many bills we

will be dealing with this year. Theotal is 492 with seven House andenate Joint Resolutions. Ifassed, a joint resolution puts thessue on the ballot to allow voterso make the final decision.

Most of the agency bills haveeen acted on and now weretarting to deal with legislatorsills so the debates are becoming

more exciting. On Tuesday the Agommittee passed three agencyills, HB 1048, HB 1059, and HB062, that repealed parts of stateaw that were no longer needed asart of Gov. Daugaards Red Tape

Review.These are some of the bills we

passed out of committee thisweek:

*HB 1122 to revise require-ments relating to health insur-

ance plans for county officers andemployees.

*HB 1156allows the legisla-ture to turn control of nonresidentwaterfowl licenses over to GF&Psince few, if any, members of thelegislature are wildlife biologistsor experts on migratory birds.

*HB 1123 to increase the sur-charge on hunting licenses by adollar that will go to the AnimalDamage Control program to fundpredator control. This is my billand it was supported by GF&Pbecause predators are not onlyeating livestock, they are alsodecimating wildlife populations.The only testimony against thebill came from South DakotaWildlife Federation director ChrisHesla. SDWF wants ranchers tobear the total cost of predator con-trol even though predator controlsaves wildlife too. SDWF is nofriend of landowners and if youhave someone asking to hunt on

your place, find out if they belongto SDWF. If they belong toSDWF, turn them away after youexplain what their directors aredoing and maybe they will changethings within their organization.

These bills were passed out ofthe House this week:

*HB 1087 provides for the cre-ation of school sentinel programsand for the training of school sen-tinels. After a lively debate, thebill passed on a 42 to 27 vote andis on its way to the Senate. HB1087 will allow school boards todecide if they want to allow prop-erly trained school employees tocarry concealed weapons onschool grounds to protect stu-dents and teachers. HB 1087 istotally permissive, mandatesnothing, and allows rural schoolswithout the resources to have lawenforcement officers train volun-teers to take care of our kids.

*HB 1096 to transfer on deathdeeds for real property.

*HB 1170 to revise provisionsfor a secondary election if the can-didates for the United States Sen-ate, United States House ofRepresentatives, or Governor do

not receive a sufficient percentageof the votes cast during a primaryelection.

*HB 1180 to allow veterans toreceive credit for military train-ing and experience.

*HB 1150 toamend provisionsrelating to violations of no contactorders.

*HB 1140 to revise the sched-ule for payment of excise taxes forfarm wineries.

*HB 1144 to permit the eutha-nization of deer that have beenseriously injured in motor vehicleaccidents. This bill will probablyhave a friendly amendmentadded to it in the Senate to in-clude all injured wildlife, not justdeer.

The House also passed someSenate bills and sent them on tothe governor:

*SB 37 to revise provisions re-garding the insurance fraud pre-vention unit.

*SB 26 to update terminologyfor individuals with intellectualdisabilities and similar terms.

*SB 70 to improve publicsafety. This is the governorscriminal justice bill. Although we

need changes to our criminal jus-tice system, there were still toomany unanswered questions so Iwas one of seven votes, all fromconservative Republicans,against the bill.

*SB 38 to incfor sexual acts bfacility employdetainees.

*SB 58 to revgarding the elmotor fuel taxelectronic remfuel tax.

I was born on a livestock farmand have cared for animals for as

long as I can remember. We hadcats, dogs, horses, and cows. Theyall needed to be fed, watered, andcared for and most times thatmeant I took care of those ani-mals before I was fed, wateredand cared for! So, from an earlyage, my father and grandfatherinstilled in my siblings and I thatwe had a moral and ethical re-sponsibility to care for our ani-mals.

One summer, my Dad came tome with a glass of water and won-dered if I needed a drink. I washot and thirsty, but looking atthis murky, discolored water withsome chunks floating in it was notwhat I was looking for and turnedit down. My Dad told me he had

just taken that water from thecattles water tank and wondered,If you wont drink it, why wouldyou make the cattle drink it?Lesson learned!

I am intrigued by the currentdebate on issues like gun controland animal welfare because I seethem as the same discussion.Unless we have engrained moralvalues, is it productive to attemptthe legislation of behavior?

Greetings from Pierre. Thiseek on the Senate Floor, weassed Senate Bill 84 whichould create the South Dakotathletic Commission to provide

upervision of kickboxing, boxing,ixed martial arts competitions,

nd sparring exhibitions in thetate of South Dakota. Across theate, these competitions are al-ady legal, and take place. Thisll will regulate the sport, mak-g it safer and will require insur-

nce for sponsors, medical aid onte, and the proper training of of-cials and organizers.

The Senate passed two sepa-te bills showing support of oureterans in South Dakota. SB 83esignates March 30th as Wel-me Home Vietnam Veteransay, which will make Southakota the first state in the unionhonor Vietnam Veterans with

eir own working holiday. SB 27ppropriates funds to design, con-ruct, provide land, and equipe Veteran's home near Hot

prings. Both bills were passedith unanimous consent.The senate passed SB 85 this

eek, which revises the provi-ons of ethanol production inouth Dakota to allow better ac-ss to international markets for

ur State's ethanol producers.ight now ethanol must haveasoline added to it prior to sale,process called "denaturization."nfortunately, foreign marketsat would buy ethanol would

refer that is was not denatur-ed. Senate Bill 85 would makeso that ethanol would not have

meet those provisions.After passage in the House,

ouse Bill 1087, the school sen-nel bill is on its way to the Sen-e. This measure will give school

oards the option to add volun-ers and to allow trained schoolaff to be armed on schoolounds to protect students.any school districts - especiallyrural areas - do not have schoolsource officers stationed inhools as we do in many of ourrger cities. This allows school

oards the opportunity to in-ease security at schools whereey believe its warranted.Senate bill 161 outlines whate equine dentistry procedures

are, equine teeth floating, meansremoval of enamel points fromteeth; reestablishing normalmolar table angles and freeing uplateral excursion and other nor-mal movements of the mandible.

A person may perform equineteeth floating services after sub-mitting to the State Board of Vet-erinary Medical Examiners thefollowing:

(1) Proof of current certifica-tion from the International Asso-ciation of Equine Dentistry orother professional equine den-tistry association as determinedby the board; and

(2) A written statement signedby a supervising veterinarian ex-perienced in large animal medi-cine that the applicant will beunder direct or indirect supervi-sion of the veterinarian whenfloating equine teeth.

Finally an issue that showedan overwhelming amount of sup-port among many groups in SouthDakota this week was HB 1066,popularized as the "Half PennyTourism Tax" on industries inSouth Dakota that are related totourism and travel. Four yearsago this was passed with a sunsetof two years and then extendedfor another two years. Last yearthis tax generated $1.9 billion,and HB 1066 makes that tax per-manent. I spoke against make thetax permanent and tried to placeanother sunset clause on this billbut this time for ten years toallow for long term planning, butalso in ten years a new legislaturewill be in place and they can ad-

dress and revist this issue. I wasnot successful in my attempt atthis amendment. The Senate haspassed this measure, and the gov-ernor signed this bill this pastFriday.

Please Keep in touch on the is-sues and feel free to contact me at(605) 850-3598 or at my legisla-tive email [email protected] personal email address [email protected].

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-sack today announced a new mi-croloan program from the U.S.Department of Agriculture(USDA) designed to help smalland family operations, beginningand socially disadvantaged farm-ers secure loans under $35,000.The new microloan program isaimed at bolstering the progressof producers through their start-up years by providing needed re-sources and helping to increaseequity so that farmers may even-tually graduate to commercialcredit and expand their opera-tions. The microloan program willalso provide a less burdensome,more simplified applicationprocess in comparison to tradi-tional farm loans.

I have met several small andbeginning farmers, returning vet-

erans and disadvantaged produc-ers interested in careers infarming who too often must relyon credit cards or personal loanswith high interest rates to financetheir start-up operations, said

Vilsack.By further expanding ac-cess to credit to those just start-

American agriculture sector thatdrives our economy, creates jobs,and provides the most secure andaffordable food supply in the

world.The new microloans, said Vil-

sack, represent how USDA con-tinues to make year-over-yeargains in expanding credit oppor-tunities for minority, socially-dis-advantaged and young andbeginning farmers and ranchersacross the United States. Thefinal rule establishing the mi-croloan program will be publishedin the Jan. 17 issue of the FederalRegister.

Administered through USDAsFarm Service Agency (FSA) Oper-ating Loan Program, the new mi-croloan program offers creditoptions and solutions to a varietyof producers. FSA has a long his-tory of providing agriculturalcredit to the nations farmers andranchers through its OperatingLoan Program. In assessing itsprograms, FSA evaluated theneeds of smaller farm operationsand any unintended barriers toobtaining financing. For begin-ning farmers and ranchers, for in-stance, the new microloanprogram offers a simplified loanapplication process. In addition,for those who want to grow nichecrops to sell directly to ethnicmarkets and farmers markets,the microloan program offers apath to obtain financing. For pastFSA Rural Youth Loan recipients,the microloan program provides abridge to successfully transition

to larger-scale operations.Since 2009, USDA has made arecord amount of farm loansthrough FSAmore than 128,000loans totaling nearly $18 billion.USDA has increased the numberof loans to beginning farmers andranchers from 11,000 loans in

Last year, I had the opportu-nity to join a Department of De-fense trip to Kuwait and

Afghanistan to visit South

Dakota troops who were servingin those countries. Seeing thebleak landscape of Afghanistanand the extreme desert conditionsmade me appreciate even morethe sacrifice that every member ofour military makes for our nation.

It is not just these brave menand women who make sacrifices their families sacrifice as well.

Just as we have military menand women overseas, there areother servicemen and womenserving much closer to home herein South Dakota. Many of themare stationed at Ellsworth Air

Force Base. I have made a pro-posal to the Legislature for thebenefit of those families.

Thirty-five percent of military

spouses in the workforce are inprofessions that require profes-sional licensure or certification.When a military family is trans-ferred to our state, that familyshould not lose earning power foran extended period while aspouse seeks licensure in SouthDakota.

That is why I proposed a pro-fessional licensure portability billfor military spouses. It has beenintroduced to the Legislature asSenate Bill 117. The bill willstreamline the process so that amilitary spouse with a license or

enter, Timber LakeFarmers and ranchers strive to

manage their land in ways thatre both productive and profitable

while conserving the natural re-ources on which agriculture de-

ends. Shelterbelts have been aart of this landscape for close tocentury. Knowledge about man-gement of existing shelterbeltss very important.

Many shelterbelts in our areare in bad shape. Years ago

mostly short-lived trees usuallyhinese Elm were planted and

hese trees are reaching the endf their life expectancy. It wouldave been better if those shelter-elts had included some long-ved trees like Rocky Mountainuniper that have life expectan-ies of hundreds of years. The mixf short-lived and long-lived trees

would have provided quick pro-ection early and long lasting pro-ection into the future.

Shelterbelt trees and shrubsave hard lives in western South

Dakota. Weather events thatamage and kill trees includerastic drops in temperature,

snow load and high winds. Bro-ken limbs and trunks are woundsthat sometimes never heal andserve as entry points for insectsand diseases. Many of the soils of

the area have naturally occurringsalts which do not allow good treegrowth. The climate is sub-aridwith woody vegetation naturallygrowing only along rivers, creeksand other drainages. Shelterbelttrees are kind of like ducks out ofwater and are under stress from

just being planted on uplandsites. Also, lack of maintenanceand livestock damage can ruinshelterbelts.

The Shelterbelt RenovationWorkshops will provide informa-tion about how to evaluate shel-terbelts and make plans forimprovement. The workshop willprovide examples of shelterbeltrenovation involving replace-ment, release and/or removal of

selected trees and shrubs or rows,adding rows, removing branchesand etc.

Farmers and ranchers thatwould like more informationabout attending one of the Shel-terbelt Renovation Workshopsshould call their local conserva-tion district: Corson @605-273-4506, Dewey @605-865-3552,Harding @605-375-3216, Perkins@605-244-7160, Tri-County @605-967-2561, Ziebach @605-365-5185or Natural Resource SpecialistBob Drown @605-244-5222 Ex-tension 4 or by e-mail [email protected].
