Following approval of minutesnd claims, the Faith City Coun-il retired into executive sessionor committee meetings. This wasone in case any employeesames were brought into the con-ersation.

The first item on their agendahen was to approve the city crew

o insulate the west wall in thehop building. This work will beone on days when they need toe inside.

Mayor Haines said he andDebbie have been working with

ocken Oil of Isabel on obtaininget A fuel along with aviationuel. It sounds like there will be a.E.A.T. plane here this summerhat uses Jet A fuel. Locken wille able to get the fuel for them,heyll just need to let him known advance when they would need. They will have a bid for theext meeting.

Haines also stated that An-elle Afdahl will come help whenhey clean out the ice house andell them what can be thrown and

what stays, when weather per-mits.

Hunter Johnson, on behalf ofhe freshman class, asked for use

of the gym and the council roomfor the post prom party on April6th, and asked that the Citywaive the fee. Council approvedhis request, with the understand-ing they clean when they aredone, and also approved the usualdonation of $500 towards theevent.

Debbie Brown asked for use ofthe gym for the Special Enter-tainment Committee to hold a 3on 3 tournament on March 30th,with the fee waived. Council alsoapproved this request, with thesame conditions.

Resolution #01-22-13-01 forthe transfer of funds was ap-proved.

Resolution #01-22-13-02 for aDSL Data charge was approved.There is only one customer whohas DSL. The City is charged thisfee and they have to pass it on tothe customer.

Council moved their February5th meeting to February 4th, dueto a conflict with their originalmeeting night.

Debbie wanted to make surethat the salaries for securityguards was clarified. Non-certi-

An emotionally charged meas-ure that could put armed andtrained guards in schools passedout of committee by one vote lastweek at the S.D. Legislature.

The result of two hearingsover three hours of discussion--by

the House Education Committee,HB1087 allows local schoolboards the option of hiring a so-called school sentinel. As thebill was amended before passageJan. 25, the local county sheriffthen must agree to the boardsplan before the sentinel programmoves forward in the district.

Freshman RepresentativeScott Craig, R-Rapid City, saidthe bill may appear unnecessaryto large schools, those that cur-rently can afford liaison officers,but this bill allows local schoolboards to make their own deter-mination of need.

The current gun-free zone,Craig said of schools, indicates asoft target for those who intend

to harm people.Rep. Betty Olson, R-Prairie

City, spoke to the vast area ofButte, Harding and PerkinsCounties in her district, noting itcan be a long way to law enforce-ment. Even though she as a sub-stitute teacher has a handgun,she said, she is not allowed tocarry my weapon into the class-

room, so she costudents or mysgency.

fied officers had been paid $8.50an hour which they upgraded to$10 at their previous meeting.The increase is correct.

Library salaries were alsoraised, as the Library committeerequested, to an increase of 50an hour.

Each year Council pre-ap-proves any claims that have apenalty be paid prior to a meet-ing.

Lacey Abbe was approved as afill-in bartender at $10 an hourupon the condition she completesher online training prior to begin-ning work.

The utilities and ambulancearrears list were reviewed anddiscussed. They discussed thosecustomers who do not pay theirutility bills on time. Customersreceive a notice that they will bedisconnected unless payment orarrangements are made. If dis-connected, there is a reconnectfee. Members also discussed op-tions for collecting those accounts

that arent paying.Their next meeting will be Feb-ruary 4th.

It may be a crime to speed inouth Dakota, but it hasnt beendding penalty points to a driversecord for the past 20-some years.Action by the House Trans-

ortation Committee Jan. 22 dur-ng the S.D. Legislature ensureshat practice will continue for the

oreseeable future.Rep. Steve Hickey, Sioux Falls

Republican, was trying again thisear to add speeding back into theoints system as it was prior to986. He called it a kinder, gen-er version of last years bill thatlso had been defeated.

Every other moving violationas points that are applied to arivers record. However, the

oke, he said, about speeding ishat motorists can drive as fasts you can afford.

The purpose, Hickey said, wasnot to suspend licenses, but to

slow people down. Fines, he said,have not done that. The bill wouldonly affect a small fraction of thestates drivers, he said.

Speeding is no laughing mat-ter, said Sen. Craig Tieszen,Rapid City Republican, adding,speed is the leading cause of ac-

cidents in this state.It is ironic, he said, that you

can get a point for driving tooslow, but not for driving too fast.

While the Department of Pub-lic Safety had indicated to Hickeythat they did not oppose the bill,some members thought it oddthat the DOT was not testifyingfor the bill.

Rep. Manny Steele, R-SiouxFalls, said he originally hadsigned on the bill as a sponsor,but was changing his mind andvoting against it, saing it was abill aimed at a few hundred peo-

Promoting health careers toouth Dakota students is thecus of the upcoming Healthcare

n Partnership with EducationHIPE) Week February 4-8.

As South Dakotas population

ontinues to age, projections indi-ate the state will need thousandsf additional healthcare workers,ith rural areas particularly af-cted. HIPE Week is an annual

bservance bringing togetherhools, communities and health-

are providers in an effort toake todays students aware of

he many healthcare careers that

are available to them.There are a wealth of career

options available in health caretoday and a growing demand forservices, said DoneenHollingsworth, Secretary of

Health. HIPE Week is a greatopportunity to introduce SouthDakota students to those optionsand encourage them to considerhealth care careers right here inSouth Dakota.

Hollingsworth said HIPEWeek is sponsored by the statesHealth Occupations for Todayand Tomorrow program. The pro-

gram is a joint effort of the De-partments of Health, Education,and Labor and the Board of Re-gents intended to promote healthcareers for South Dakota stu-dents.

High school football gamesnder Friday night lights andasketball gyms jam-packed withns are as much a part of Southakota as coffee-shop talk about

he weather and crops. Highhool sports and other inter-holastic activities such as

rama and music events fuel in-nse civic pride in our communi-es and schools.The feats and accomplish-

ents of students on the field ofmpetition or the performanceage are celebrated by an entiremmunity of family, friends andhool fans.The hometown newspaper is

here as well, chronicling theames and school activities. Cov-ring local school sports andhool activities such as plays andncerts are a big part of what

oes into the local newspaper.he community expects it and a

ood newspaper meets that ex-ectation.Technology today has allowed

ewspapers to expand the toolshey use to cover high schoolports and events. Newspapersre going beyond the traditionalories and photos printed in theaper to innovations such asroadcasting football or basket-all games over the internet andpdating readers through socialedia tools. Readers have comeexpect that type of expanded

verage and newspapers of allzes in South Dakota are deliver-g on those expectations.All good, right? Yes, except

hat some schools are now puttingstrictions and limitations on

ow the local news media canver their school sporting events

nd activities.In Pierre, an exclusive contract

etween the school and a localadio station prohibits a compet-g local radio station or the local

ewspaper from broadcastingierre school athletic events.owever, the restrictions don't

pply to any out-of-town newsedia outlets.In Sioux Falls, the public

hool district sought to specifi-

cally prohibit the local newspaperfrom broadcasting high schoolfootball and basketball games onthe internet.

Elsewhere, newspaper photog-raphers are being unreasonablyrestricted on how they can coverhigh school competitions. Re-porters are limited on how theycan use social media such asTwitter and Facebook to reportlive from a high school game.

Schools offer a variety of rea-sons for these restrictions.Mostly, it boils down to money.Schools looking to make addi-tional revenue from the perform-ances of students on the field byplacing restrictions on how thelocal news media may cover theseevents.

Incredible as it may sound,there is a real trend toward moremonetization of high schoolsports.

That is why we are working forpassage of a bill in this legislativesession that would prohibitschools from unreasonably re-stricting the ability of local newsmedia to do their job. Senate Bill119 would not prohibit schoolsfrom generating revenue throughcertain contracts with media, solong as those contracts do not re-strict other media from being ableto do their job.

SB119 is not about creatingany special or new privilege fornews media in South Dakota. Itonly tries to ensure the newsmedia in South Dakota can dowhat they have always donewhen it comes to reporting abouthigh school sports and activities.

Fans and supporters of highschool sports and activities expectthe local news media to be there,creating a chronology and scrap-book of memories and achieve-ments through their stories,photos and other media.

Urge your legislators to sup-port Senate Bill 119. Let's makesure the hometown news mediacan continue to do their job andlive up to the expectations of theirreaders and viewers. Nothingmore, nothing less.

This was the third week of the2013 legislative session and weare beginning to act on more than

just agency bills. Sen. Larry Rho-den, Rep. Dean Wink, and Rep.Gary Cammack from District 29

joined Sen. Ryan Maher and mefrom District 28 at the CrackerBarrels Saturday in BelleFourche and Newell. First was aluncheon in Belle Fourche at the

American West. Questions fromthe audience focused on educa-tion, energy, guns, and thebudget.

Later that afternoon we met atthe Newell City Hall for a livelydiscussion about ObamaCare.Every person there, including thelegislators, were against imple-menting it in South Dakota andasked us to do whatever we can tostop the governments intrusioninto our health care. There werealso questions about Agenda 21,funding predator control, the re-

districting process, guns, and thebudget. We appreciate the activeinvolvement of the citizens in thisarea and we look forward toCracker Barrels in Belle andNewell again on February 9th.

Here are some of the bills thatwere passed in the House thisweek:

*HB 1003 to revise the purposeof the agriculture mediation pro-gram passed the House unani-mously on Wednesday. This wasanother bill that came out of ourOil and Gas Development Com-mittee.

*HB 1078 to revise the locationwhere county highway maps maybe filed passed out of my LocalGovernment committee on Mon-

day and passed the House on con-sent Wednesday.

*HB 1076 to repeal the re-quirement to separately publishinformation concerning countypoor relief from the minutes ofthe county commissions alsocame out of Local Governmentand passed on Wednesday.

*HB 1112 to clarify the appli-cation of open meetings provi-sions for three-member publicboards passed on Thursday.

*HB 1004 to provide for theaward of treble damages in sur-face depredation cases passed onThursday. This was also an Oiland Gas Development Committeebill.

*HB 1028 to repeal the re-

quirement that a minor be accom-panied by an adult while huntingmourning doves passed on con-sent on Friday.

*HB 1091 to establish provi-sions regarding the labeling ofmotor fuel (85 Octane) at a retailfuel pump passed the House onFriday.

*HB 1090 to exempt amateursports coaches from sales taxpassed on Friday.

*HB 1033 to authorize the De-partment of Social Services to dis-mantle, demolish, preserve, orrehabilitate buildings on the

Human Services Center campusin Yankton, to make an appropri-ation, and to declare an emer-gency passed on Friday with a 64to 6 vote. I was one of the no votesbecause demolishing these build-ings will cost six million dollarswe dont have to spare. The debrisfrom the demolished buildingswill be buried, although the as-bestos has to be handled sepa-rately at considerable expense tothe taxpayers because of federalregulations, regardless of the factthat the asbestos came out of theground in the first place!

This is some of what tran-spired in committees this week:

*HB 1005 that would requireposting of information if hy-draulic fracture stimulation isperformed on oil and gas wellswas tabled in Agriculture andNatural Resources committee be-cause DENR is already doingthis.

*HB 1087, the Sentinels inSchools bill, passed out of HouseEducation committee 8 to 7 asamended. This is a very permis-sive bill allowing local schoolboards to decide if they want toallow school employees to carryconcealed weapons to protectthemselves and our children.

think of things but manage to for-get them by the time it is newsnight. If someone has an idea orknows some history of SouthDakota please let me share withothers.

for the man to come. If he didcome they were to stop him. Dadsaid it was a long fear-filled night,wondering and waiting. My AuntRosalie, now in her late 80s, said

to this day if she smells woodsmoke it brings back memories ofthat night and how scared theyall were. In the clipping theyhinted that the man had drankalcohol that was tainted andcaused the behavior. Im not sureif there were even crank tele-phones at that time and the near-est lawman was either Sturgis orFaith.

Sen. Ryan MahersLegislative Report

This week on the Senate Floor,enate Bill 70 - the Public Safetymprovement Act passed off theloor and is headed for the house.

This is an effort to hold offenders

more accountable for their ac-ions, improve public safety, andreate the capacity needed for theupervision of offenders with theommunity. This measure has theotential to save taxpayers $166

million that would have beenpent on building two new prisonso meet the growing number ofrisoners in South Dakota. Weannot rely on warehousing toolve our needs. We need to solvehe problem while we continue torotect society.

One of the more emotional is-ues debated in this last week

was in the House of Representa-ives. House Bill 1087 Thechool Sentinel Program, a meas-re designed to help give schools

dditional tools to protect stu-ents from those who would dohildren harm. It was one for theistory books, as the lobbyist forhe Associated School Boards con-eded that it was an issue "too bigor schools to decide." As someonen the legislature who represents

many families with children, Ian personally tell you that work-ng with schools to develop re-ources to protect our youth whilehey're in a learning environments not a difficult decision. The dif-iculty in the "HOW" we do it.

This measure provides that anychool board may create, estab-

lish, and supervise the arming ofschool employees, hired securitypersonnel, or volunteers in suchmanner as they may believe tobest protect the school from those

who would do children or staffharm. We spend a lot of time inPierre discussing education andthe learning environment of ourchildren. Keeping them safe inthat environment is part of ourresponsibility as well. I look for-ward to debating this measure onthe Senate Floor should it makeits journey through the House.

Last week, we had reported onSenate Bills 3, 4 and 5, which arepart of a package to bring betteraccountability and cost effective-ness to higher education to deter-mine how South Dakota canbetter serve our students. Allthree measures passed the StateSenate, and now go over to theHouse of Representatives for fur-ther action. These measures pro-vide the reporting of the outcomesof license and certification examsand to determine certain jobplacements for graduates of allpublic postsecondary educationinstitutions in the State of SouthDakota, and keeps with Republi-can's general theme this sessionof spending our hard earned taxdollars smarter.

Senate Bill 83 passed off theSenate Floor on Friday. It was in-troduced by Senator Reed Holienof Watertown, which designatesthat the thirtieth day of Marchwould be known as Welcome

Home Vietnam Veterans Day.Many Vietnam Veterans came tothe Capitol to testify in favor ofthe measure. This working holi-day will be dedicated to the re-membrance and recognition of theservice and sacrifice rendered byour nation's veterans of the Viet-nam War. In the 1960's and 70'sthere were many instances whereanti-war protesters treated ourreturning troops poorly, and vet-erans still feel the sting of that re-

jection. This permanent recog-nition is a simple gesture, we asSouth Dakotans, can make to letthem know we will always re-member their defense of our coun-try.

One topic that keeps comingup is the problem with the pinebeetles in the Black Hills. Repub-licans are discussing this verydiligently in hopes that we can fi-nally find a permanent solution tothe problem. This includes pro-posed legislation to appropriatefunds to suppress the pine bee-tles, and to establish a cost shar-ing program with counties in theState of South Dakota. Thebudget proposed by the Governor

suggested a one-time appropria-tion of $2 million to initiate themeasure.

Closer to home are Senate Bills16 and 21. Both of these are pro-posals from the State BrandBoard. Senate Bill 16 would allowthe state brand board to establisha fee for local inspections of onehundred head of livestock or less,not to exceed twenty-five dollarsper trip. The board may chargeand collect a fee for services per-taining to any local inspection ofone hundred head of livestock orless. The fee shall be in additionto the ownership inspection feeand the mileage fee, and shall be

used to offset the costs of provid-ing a local inspection. Senate Bill21, removes the inspection fromhorses and mules. The boardclaims this is an antiquated sys-tem and it is no longer needed.However, many people in ourarea still use this process andwould like to see it continued.

In the coming week, the Senatewill be taking up the review ofHouse Bill 1061, a measure to ex-pand our Captive Insurance mar-ket in South Dakota. While thecaptive insurance market indus-try may not be well known by the

general public, thact is a simple reto help South more competitiveLike the changeregulations undeklow brought thand tens of millioto South Dakothas the same kinbenefit our statsage, we would hlure more capita

Pending before Presidentbama is a true economic stimu-s plan. Unlike the $833 billionimulus bill that was loaded withet projects and wasteful govern-ent spending, this stimulusan is privately funded andould not waste taxpayer dollars

n yet another duplicative gov-rnment program. Instead, thisan would bolster private sectorb creation, would help securemericas energy future, andould generate tax revenue andimulate growth in Southakota and throughout the coun-y. This pending plan is the ap-roval of the Keystone XLpeline.While the benefits of the Key-

one XL pipeline are clear, whatmains unclear is why Presidentbama continues to delay thisb-creating, domestic energy-pro-ucing project. The pipeline,hich would run through South

akota, is expected to create anstimated 20,000 jobs, and trans-ort up to an additional 830,000

barrels of oil per day to U.S. re-fineries. This $7 billion projectwould not only stimulate the

American economy, it would cre-ate hundreds of construction jobsand generate new tax revenue inSouth Dakota.

Unfortunately, in January of2012, the president decided toplay politics with this importanteconomic project. Instead of de-termining whether to move for-ward with the pipeline, thepresident opted to punt the deci-sion until after the 2012 presiden-tial election, further delaying jobcreation and energy production.

On January 22, 2013, Ne-braska Governor Dave Heinemanapproved a new route throughNebraska for the Keystone XLpipeline that avoids the environ-mentally sensitive Sandhills re-gion. The new route was approvedafter the Nebraska Departmentof Environmental Quality deter-

mined the pipeline would haveminimal environmental impacton the area.

Following the news of Gover-nor Heinemans approval, I joineda bipartisan group of 53 U.S. Sen-ators on January 23, 2013, insending another letter to Presi-dent Obama urging him to ap-

prove the Keystone XL pipelinewithout delay. The letter encour-aged the president to choose eco-nomic development and Americanenergy security, and to cease allfurther delays on the pipeline.

After several political delays andfour and a half years of environ-mental reviews, it is time for thepresident to stick to the deadline.Unfortunately, it does not appearthat the Obama AdministrationsState Department plans to makea determination regarding the en-vironmental documents for thispipeline until this spring or sum-mer.

I will continue to work with mySenate colleagues to push for thisbipartisan project to ensure we

continue investing in Americasenergy future.

The ChildrensBlizzard

The Weather Channel began

assigning names to big snow-storms in 2012. A blizzard thatblasted the Midwest on Jan. 12,1888, was so destructive that itacquired several names: TheChildrens Blizzard, The School-childrens Blizzard and TheSchoolhouse Blizzard.

The morning felt more likeApril than January: warm, calmand clear.

Oscar Coursey, three of his sib-lings and their schoolmates wereat recess the morning of Jan. 12,1888, outside the schoolhousenear their homestead in south-western Beadle County, playingin their shirt sleeves, withouthats or mittens. Suddenly, welooked up and saw something

coming rolling toward us withgreat fury from the northwest,and making a loud noise,Coursey wrote in Pioneering inDakota. It looked like a longstring of big bales of cotton, eachone bound tightly with heavycords of silver, and then all tiedtogether with great silvery rope.

All the children had just gotteninside the schoolhouse when thestorm struck with such force thatit nearly moved the building offits cobblestone foundation.

George Duernberger had takenhis horses to a well about one-halfmile from his homestead in Faulk

County when one of the horsesjerked the halter rope from hishand and started for the barn. Ahurried glance to the northwest

showed him a gray bank.Then the wind came. Every-

thing was blotted out, and thetrail disappeared, the horsesheads were not visible It wasdifficult to breathe and utterlyimpossible to keep my eyes openagainst the driving snow Thecold was piercing, according toDuernbergers account in TheSouth Dakota Historical Societysbulletin The Wi-Iyohi.

A brief break in the storm en-abled him to recognize a land-mark and realize where he was.He was able to get his horses inthe barn and start for the house.He was guided to the house by thesound of his wife blowing on atrumpet.

It was but eighty minutessince I had left for the well. Aneternity, however, had elapsed.

Sadie Shaw wrote her brotherand sister that the wind knockedher down when she attempted togo to the coal box about a rod(about 5.5 yards) east of her sodhouse in the Platte/Geddes area.Her husband had gone to gettheir children from school whenhe realized a storm was coming.He returned home safely afterbeing in the storm for about anhour, unsuccessful in his attemptto reach the schoolhouse.

Despite last summersrought, farmers have been verylessed these last few years. Theght thing to do is help those whore less fortunate, Gross said.This money will be used to feedeople in need throughout theate. People dont go to the food

ank because they want to; theyo because they have nowherese to turn.A $100 donation allows Feed-

ng South Dakota to provide 400meals. Its enough to feed a family

r four weeks. A $145 donationill provide one child with a back-ack full of food each weekend forn entire school year.

For many kids, the food theyeceive through Feeding Southakotas Backpack Program is

he only food theyll get during aeekend, Gross said. Pictureour kids not having food on theeekend.Gross and Chad Blindauer,

resident of the South Dakotaorn Utilization Council, pre-ented a $25,000 check Saturdayight to Matt Gassen, Feedingouth Dakotas executive direc-or.

Were incredibly excited to

have received $25,000 from theSouth Dakota Corn Growers As-sociation. Well be able to takethat money and turn it into100,000 meals, Gassen said.

This goes a long ways in meetingour needs as we work to eliminatehunger in our state. This is an ex-citing time as we begin to partnerwith the ag industry, startingwith South Dakota Corn. Thispartnership is very important tous and also to those we serve.

Feeding South Dakota is al-ready partnering with the SouthDakota Corn Utilization Council,South Dakota State Universityand the University of SouthDakota in the Showdown Series,an athletic and academiccompeti-tion between those two schools inthe heart of corn country. That se-ries is raising food and money forthe hunger-relief agency.

Agribusinesses that donated

during the challenge are Cargill,Dupont Pioneer, First Bank &Trust, Monsanto, Premier BankCard, Syngenta and WNAXRadio.

Feeding South Dakota has dis-tribution centers in Sioux Falls,Pierre and Rapid City. The organ-ization distributesmore than 12million pounds of food annuallythrough a network of 450 charita-ble organizations across thestate. Those groups then distrib-ute the food through various pro-grams and food pantries.

It may be a crime to speed inouth Dakota, but it hasnt beendding penalty points to a driversecord for the past 20-some years.Action by the House Trans-

ortation Committee Jan. 22 dur-ng the S.D. Legislature ensureshat practice will continue for theoreseeable future.

Rep. Steve Hickey, Sioux FallsRepublican, was trying again thisear to add speeding back into the

oints system as it was prior to986. He called it a kinder, gen-er version of last years bill thatlso had been defeated.

Every other moving violationas points that are applied to arivers record. However, the

oke, he said, about speeding ishat motorists can drive as fasts you can afford.

The purpose, Hickey said, wasnot to suspend licenses, but tolow people down. Fines, he said,ave not done that. The bill wouldnly affect a small fraction of thetates drivers, he said.

Speeding is no laughing mat-ter, said Sen. Craig Tieszen,Rapid City Republican, adding,speed is the leading cause of ac-cidents in this state.

It is ironic, he said, that youcan get a point for driving tooslow, but not for driving too fast.

While the Department of Pub-lic Safety had indicated to Hickeythat they did not oppose the bill,some members thought it odd

that the DOT was not testifyingfor the bill.

Rep. Manny Steele, R-SiouxFalls, said he originally hadsigned on the bill as a sponsor,but was changing his mind andvoting against it, saing it was abill aimed at a few hundred peo-ple who are abusive. He called itoverkill, citing the effort to keeptrack of the records.

The committee voted to kill thebill, 9-4, by moving it to the ses-sions 41st day.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22,013The U.S. Department of

Agricultures Farm ServiceAgency (FSA) reminds producers

hat the American Taxpayer Re-ef Act of 2012 extended the au-horization of the Food,

Conservation, and Energy Act of

2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) formany Commodity Credit Corpo-ration (CCC) commodity, disas-ter, and conservation programsthrough 2013. FSA administersthese programs.

The extended programs in-clude, among others: the Directand Counter-Cyclical PaymentProgram (DCP), the AverageCrop Revenue Election Program(ACRE), and the Milk IncomeLoss Contract Program (MILC).FSA is preparing the following ac-tions:

FSA will begin sign-ups forDCP and ACRE for the 2013crops on Feb. 19, 2013. The DCPsign-up period will end on Aug. 2,2013; the ACRE sign-up periodwill end on June 3, 2013.

The 2013 DCP and ACRE pro-gram provisions are unchangedfrom 2012, except that all eligibleparticipants in 2013 may chooseto enroll in either DCP or ACRE

for the 2013 crop year. Thismeans that eligible producerswho were enrolled in ACRE in2012 may elect to enroll in DCP

in 2013 or may re-enroll in ACREin 2013 (and vice versa).

All dairy producers MILC con-tracts are automatically extendedto Sept. 30, 2013. Eligible produc-ers therefore do not need to re-en-roll in MILC. Specific detailsregarding certain modifications toMILC will be released soon.

FSA will provide producerswith information on program re-quirements, updates and signupsas the information becomes avail-able. Any additional details willbe posted on FSAs website.

Good sportsmanship occurswhen teammates, opponents,coaches and officials treat eachother with respect. Kids learn thebasics of sportsmanship from theadults in their lives, especiallytheir parents and their coaches.

Kids who see adults behavingin a sportsmanlike way gradually

come to understand that the realwinners in sports are those whoknow how to persevere and to be-have with dignity whether theywin or lose a game.

Parents can help their kids un-derstand that good sportsman-ship includes both small gesturesand heroic efforts. It starts withsomething as simple as shakinghands with opponents before agame and includes acknowledg-ing good plays made by othersand accepting bad calls grace-fully. Displaying good sportsman-ship is not always easy. It can betough to congratulate the oppos-ing team after losing a close orimportant game. But the kidswho learn how to do it will benefit

in many ways.Kids who bully or taunt others

on the playing field are not likelyto change their behavior when inthe classroom or in social situa-tions. In the same way, a childwho practices good sportsman-ship is likely to carry the respectand appreciation of other peopleinto every other aspect of life.

Good sports are winners. Askfirst or second graders who won agame, and they may answer, Ithink it was a tie. It is likely thequestion is not of any real interestat that age. Kids may be moreeager to talk about the hits theygot or the catches they almostmade. But as they move into olderand more competitive leagues,kids become more focused on win-ning. They often forget to havefun. Without constant remindersand good examples, they may alsoforget what behavior is appropri-ate before, during and after asporting event.

Kids who have coaches whocare only about being in firstplace and say that anything goesas long as they win, pick up themessage that it is okay to be ruth-less on the field. If parents con-stantly pressure them to playbetter or second-guess their everymove, kids get the message thatthey are only as good as their lastgood play and they will try any-thing to make one.

Adults who emphasize goodsportsmanship, however, see win-ning as just one of several goalsthey would like their kids toachieve. They help young athletestake pride in their accomplish-ments and in their improving

skills, so that thselves as winnescoreboard doesnumbers going in

An attempt to set up misde-meanor charges for adults who

rovide parties for under-agerinkers failed to pass out of theenate State Affairs Committeean. 23 at the S.D. Legislature inierre.

The measure failed by oneote, following sometimes emo-onal debate, but backers vowed

o keep working on the bill tomake it acceptable to lawmakers.

Sen. Larry Lucas, D-Mission,aid there currently is no defini-on for the term social host, but generally agreed that it refers

o someone who provides the loca-on but not necessarily the alco-ol for a party.

It is not a defense, said Lucas,or the adult to say that he wasot present at the party.

Joyce Glynn, West Riverancher with her husband, Roger,elated the story of how their son,

Michael, lost his life following his006 high school graduation and

ttending the subsequent partyhere under-age teens wererinking.

He died as the result of a one-ehicle rollover where he wasected from the car.That spring, Glynn said, 13

ther teenagers died under simi-

lar circumstances.President Obama, noted

Glynn, has said that the firsttask of society is to keep our chil-dren safe. She questionedwhether we are doing everythingpossible to do that.

She discussed the three compo-

nents to keep children safe as ed-ucation, legislation andenforcement. It is clear, she said,that it is illegal for anyone underthe age of 21 to drink alcohol, andcalled this bill another tool to beused.

With 5,894 minors chargedwith possession and 416 misde-meanor charges against adults,and 200 f those dismissed, Glynnsaid we are sending a bad mes-sage to kids.

Glynn said the Attorney Gen-erals office has voiced its supportfor the bill, as well as the SouthDakota States Attorneys Associa-tion.

Supporting testimony camefrom the Concerned Women ofSouth Dakota.

However, the bills current lan-guage was criticized by the StateFarm Insurance Company lobby-ist Dick Tieszen, and RogerTellinghuisen, lobbyist for S.D.Trial Lawyers Association, as

well as several members of thecommittee.

Sen. Corey Brown, R-Gettys-burg, questioned whether thatone additional law would havechanged anything that happenedthe night that Glynns son died.

Sen. Larry Rhoden, R-UnionCenter, also questioned whetherthe law would be effective.

The bill died 5-4 and wasmoved to the 41st day.

After the meeting, Glynn saidI really thought with the States

Attorney Association and the At-torney Generals Association, thepeople who have to enforce theselaws and know the laws insideand out that are on the books, andwhether they are enforceable ornot and whether they are enoughor not, I really thought their back-ing to the legislators would sayyou folks are the expert in thisfield and so we are going to relyon your recommendation.

That didnt happen, she said.

However, Glynn said we willnever know if this would keepsomeone from having a party attheir house.

She said she will continue tofight for a law such as this.

The comprehensive overhaul ofthe way the state justice systemdeals with offenders recentlypassed the South Dakota Senatewith only two dissenting votes.

The bill is backed by a host oflaw enforcement professionals asa means of improving publicsafety, holding offenders account-able and controlling spending.

The program is expected tosave $160 million in the next 10years in prison costs, according toSen. Russell Olson, R-Wentworth,one of the Senators who served ona task force study group that cre-ated the bill. Olson spoke to thebill Jan. 24 in the Senate, alongwith Sens. Reid Holien, R-Water-town; Craig Tieszen, R-RapidCity; Larry Lucas, D-Mission; andJames Bradford, D-Pine Ridge,who all worked on the task force.

Bradford said it was a highlyemotional issue for him, maybe

because Im directly affected,seeing a family member make amistake, make restitution andcome back home.
