Joy Parker was born April 1,1917 on the ranch in SouthernCherry County near Brown Lee,Nebraska, to Charles and JessieOgle. She was one of nine childrenborn to Charles and Jessie. She hadfive brothers and three sisters.

Joy attended school through theeighth grade. She went on to marryTomas M. Parker on October 27,1940.

Joy and Tomas had two girls.Martha Ann was born July 10,1942, and Barbara Jo was bornJune 1, 1943.

Joy has been blessed with sixgrandchildren and 13 great-grand-children.

As an adult, Joy worked fouryears at Owl Inn, and she lived for30 years in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

She is an active member of thePresbyterian Church. Some hob-bies, Joy enjoys are reading andsolving word finds.

There is not just one holiday thatJoy enjoys, instead she loves all theholidays.

One of Joys many loves is poetry.She can recite many poems fromheart.

Joys sister, Wionna Carson,

lived in Kadoka. So, in 1995 shemoved back to Kadoka to be withher family.

Joy said she used to garden. Shesaid there was nothing better thata fresh ripe tomato that had beenripened by the sun, or pulling a car-rot out of the ground, wiping thedirt off and eating it.

Joy talked about canning toma-toes. She used the open kettleprocess. She said she boiled themfor 20 minutes.

Then, she filled the hot jars withthe cooked tomatoes. She said theysealed up great and kept for a verylong time.

Joy liked using this process be-cause she could do small batcheswhen she wanted and did not haveto take all day canning.

The staff at the nursing homespeak highly of Joy. They say she isan awesome resident. She likes tohave fun, and she appreciates allthe staff and everything they do forher.

We would like to congratulateJoy on being chosen as KadokaNursing Homes Resident of theMonth for August.

Kadoka Nursing Home resident of the month

A medical journey to improve the health of frontier peopleThe path our life will take is alwayssomewhat of a mystery. One neverknows when an event will occurthat will change our life and en-courage us for years to come.

As a junior in high school, RobinPeterson-Lund, along with her par-ents and brother, were involved ina terrible auto accident.

We were all injured in the acci-dent, but I remember ever so clearlytrying to do everything I could to

help my mother, who was severelyinjured, said Peterson-Lund.Being in the middle of SouthDakota, with limited access tohealth care, seeing my mother sohurt, and waiting for help, I knewthen that I wanted to be able tohelp other people in need.

With that turning point in herlife and the need for health care hit-ting so close to home, Peterson-Lund began focusing on a career inmedicine. Attending the Universityof South Dakotas nursing programwas the beginning of a quest to full-fil a dream for a career in the med-ical field.

Graduating in 1975 with an as-sociate arts degree in nursing, shebegan working at Sioux Valley Hos-pital in Sioux Falls (now SanfordUSD Medical Center) where shewas a surgical nurse. While thereshe attended the states first open

heart surgery in 1976.The surgery took hours, saidPeterson-Lund. We would nor-mally do a few surgeries each day,but this was the only surgery sched-uled for that day. There was a largestaff, which rotated in and out toprevent fatigue, but the experienceof the surgery and being part ofmedical history was amazing.

After some time, Peterson-Lundreceived a call from Dr. L.P. Swisherwho expressed a need for nurses atthe Kadoka hospital. With the op-portunity to return to Kadoka, shemade the move and began workingat the hospital.

While growing up, my familylived away from the Kadoka area,but we always spent our summershere and we always consideredKadoka to be home for us, said Pe-terson-Lund, and I knew this iswhere I wanted to be.

While working at the Kadokahospital, she gained valuableknowledge and experienced the bestclinical practices with patient con-tact.

When I was working at the hos-pital in Kadoka, we did everythingat that time from treating peoplewith a cold to delivering babies,she said with a smile. Helping de-liver babies, seeing them grow andthe changes in their life over theyears, it is an intergenerationalconnection and provides a strongcommunity relationship. It reallyenforced the emotions I had to help

others.After working in Kadoka for two

years, she returned to Sioux Fallsas an occupational health nurse,and it was here that she first devel-oped an interest in research. Shecreated an exercise conditioningprogram for the company's employ-ees that helped prevent tendonitis.The program successfully loweredthe incidence of the ailment and herfindings were published in the

American Association of Occupa-tional Health Nursing Journal in1979 under the title, Prevention: ANew Approach to Tendonitis.

Leaving Sioux Falls with a desireto continue her education, shemoved to Rapid City where sheworked at St. Johns Hospital,which is now Rapid City RegionalHospital, in the medical and surgi-cal unit. While there, she earned abachelor degree in nursing from theSDSU West River campus in 1981.

Becoming a nurse practionerwas a goal I had set for myself, shesaid. Being a nurse first, you learnhow to bring in the concept of get-ting to know the person, not just thepatient, and know their lifestyle,and with this I felt I would be ableto help them as their health careprovider. I do strongly believe thatunderstanding the person is just asimportant as understanding theirhealth conditions.

Later in 1981, Peterson-Lund

married Arnold Lund. In 1983, thecouple moved to Kadoka, where shechose to be a stay-at-home mom forthe next five years and raise theirtwo children, Arne and Skye.

Even at home, though, she didn'tlose her enthusiasm to continue hereducation.

While the kids were in schooland Arne was at work, thats whenI became a student, she said, butwhen they were home, I was amother and a wife. Even though ittook extra time to complete the col-lege courses, it was important to meto take care of my family.

Obtaining her masters in Nurs-ing Advanced Practice happened in1992, and she began working at theclinic and hospital in Philip andlater Kadoka.

Caring and helping those wholive here was very rewarding sinceI had known so many of them formost of my life, she said smiling.But the more I worked here, themore I understood how differentour lives and our culture is com-pared to other parts of the country,and how healthcare providers froma larger population base do not al-ways understand the rural lifestyle.

People are smart and some-times I feel like the patients are un-derestimated, she said. Whensomeone comes in with strep andpneumonia during calving time,you need to strategize to help treat

the medical issues, because youknow if you tell them to go homeand rest its probably not going tohappen.

But many doctors in urban set-tings do not understand the inde-pendence in western people.

People in this area have agreater survival wisdom that youdo not see everywhere, she said.The determination to survive, thedesire to help your neighbors andthe strong sense of life knowledgeyou gain by living here is an expe-rience that not everyone can under-stand.

But it was this lifestyle that shegrew up around that generated theinterest to continue her education.

I had always known that some-day I wanted to obtain my doctor ofphilosophy and that making thechoice to return to school would re-quire some traveling, but living outhere we are so used to traveling Iknew that it was possible, she said.

Traveling to Rapid City a coupletimes a month, then to Sioux Fallsfor a few days for classes, and work-ing through online classes, she ob-tained her PhD in December of2011.

I believe any type of educationis important at any age, whether itbe from living life experiences or[going] to college, she conveyed.

Although she reached her goal ofearning a PhD, the learning does

not stop there. Having a PhD is athree-fold commitment, which in-cludes teaching, research and pre-senting.

Being a professor at the univer-sity, she teaches online classes fromhome, but also teaches classes inRapid City.

I love teaching new students,but I am fascinated by the re-search, she said smiling. Beingable to do clinical studies, visit with

patients, collecting information andputting it all together to help im-prove health conditions is how ourmedical care advances.

Researching the frontier culture,which includes all nationalities liv-ing in the western part of SouthDakota, has been her main focus.

Understanding the medical is-sues that face the people living hereand to learn what would help themhave a healthier lifestyle is theheart of my research. she shared.

Currently, she is working withSanford Health researching livingkidney donations to improve healthoutcomes, examining patients whoare eligible for kidney transplants,and help recover their heath afterthe transplant. Once all the data is

collected, she will present it to otherhealthcare providers.

There is a multitude of ways toobtain the information, but sharingit with others and having it put intopractice is the ultimate goal, sheexplained.

Recently, Peterson-Lund pre-sented her findings to a interna-tional group of healthcare providersin Pittsburgh.

Those who attended the presen-

tation were fascinated by thelifestyle in South Dakota. Theywere so interested in how we live,the survival wisdom, freedom andself-reliance that we have. They re-ally did not understand living andworking in a rural area, the health-care challenges due to the availabil-ity of services and the distance wehave to travel, she said. Trying tobridge the gap of the different cul-tures so we can understand the dif-ferences and the similarities toimprove everyones quality of life.

If I am able to directly benefitanyone to improve their health out-comes by discovering new things,then I feel I have given a voice tothe frontier people, and everyonedeserves a voice, she concluded.

Feeble Excuses

How are you at feeble excuses?You know, the kinds of things youcome up with to justify what youwant to do. Take the cartoon I sawthe other day where the man isreaching into the freezer at thegrocery store and says, Wed bet-ter buy some ice cream to keep thebutter cool on the way home. His

wife looks on with a skeptical ex-pression meaning she thinks thebutter would arrive home just finewithout the added coolant of theice cream, but she doesnt say any-thing. Chances are shes thinkingshe might want to buy somethingthey dont really need as well andmay have to come up with a simi-lar bit of misdirection.

Well, theres nothing wrongwith buying ice cream, but icecream has been known to addpoundage to a person and some ofus dont need that. You might haveto come up with a good reason tobuy it when maybe you reallyshouldnt. There are other caseswhere similar circumstances mayapply.

For example, some folks claimthey are going to the city to takeadvantage of the lower prices of-fered at discount stores and such.

This has some credence becauseyou can save substantially in cer-tain cases. You have to remember,though, that the gas to get youthere and back could well cost fiftybucks. So, lets say laundry deter-gent sells for ten dollars a bottlelocally and only six in the city.That saves you four dollars, butyoud have to buy over twelve bot-tles of it to save the cost of your

traveling expenses. Either that ormake cost-saving purchases onlots of other items.

What I suspect is that peoplemight want to go to the city to eatout, catch a movie, or find someother interesting forms of enter-tainment. Thats okay, but sayingyoure going there to save moneyon things you need might not bethe whole truth, so to speak. If you

have to go to keep a doctors ap-pointment or consult your taxman, thats different. Some serv-ices are not available locally, andyou have to drive a ways to findthem. In that case, it does makesome sense to shop while yourethere and save back a little of yourgas expense. A few times, though,Ive bought something in the citythinking I was saving money onlyto find it offered more cheaplyclose to home. This is irritating. Asa result, Ive had to reconsider myoriginal idea that things can al-ways be purchased more cheaplyin big stores than little ones. Itisnt necessarily so. Impulse buy-ing of weird stuff is can be a prob-lem when you visit big stores.

Then we come to cowboys. Theyhave a million and one reasonswhy they should get on theirhorses and ride instead of, say,

painting the barn or fixing the ac-cursed tractor. They may need tocheck the cattle in general, checkthe fences, see if the salt supply isrunning low, and, of course, in-spect the dams in case some crit-ter has gotten itself stuck in themud.

What is difficult in terms of try-ing to refute any such excuses isthat the Bible recommends, Be

sure you know the condition ofyour flocks; give careful attentionto your herds. There are times, ofcourse, that nothing needs check-ing very badly once the calvingseason is over, the fences havebeen checked and rechecked, andthe dams are full enough that mudisnt a problem. This doesnt keepyour normal cowboy from drag-ging out these needs to go riding,

but they should be taken for whatthey are instead of by how theyreexplained. Ditto for cowgirls.

The same thing might apply tofour-wheelers which are just akind of substitute for horse-backriding but also fun. I personallyhave dreamt up any number ofcompelling reasons to rev up ourlittle four-wheeler and tear offacross the prairie. Unfortunately,I married a schoolteacher who hasa low-gullibility factor and tendsto see right through me. Thatdoesnt keep me from tryingthough.

Just today I told her that Ineeded to go to the steakhousesince I hadnt been there in quitea while and they might think Ididnt love them anymore. Shereplied, And because youre tiredof cooking. That too, I agreed,and headed out.

At the moment, I need to comeup with some sort of lame excusefor taking a nap. Ive been busyand productive today and havemanaged to tire myself out. Wait.Being tired is a legitimate reasonfor resting. I dont have to makeup an excuse. I can just go take anap. That, therefore, is where Imheaded very shortly.

Catch you later..

Keeping Interest RatesLow for Students

The days of summer are slowlyfading. While there is still time be-fore heading back to school, manycollege students and their familieshave been keeping a watchful eyefor news coming out of Washing-ton about what student loan inter-est rates will look like for the

coming school year. On July 1,2013, Federal Subsidized StaffordLoans returned from the tempo-rary rate of 3.4 percent to 6.8 per-cent.

The return to higher rates waspart of legislation Congresspassed in 2007, which provided atemporary, phased-in reduction ofinterest rates from 6.8 percent to3.4 percent for Federal SubsidizedStafford Loans. This reduced in-terest rate was set to return to itsfixed rate of 6.8 percent after Julyof 2012. However, last year, Con-gress enacted a one-year extensionof the 3.4 percent rate. That exten-sion expired on June 30, 2013. Therecent rate change to 6.8 percentset many students and parents on

edge about the cost of financingeducation.

Unfortunately, while studentswere left wondering how theywould shoulder the burden ofhigher interest rates, public dis-agreement between the presidentand Senate Democrats left legisla-tion to provide relief to students ata standstill in the Senate. Thank-fully, the Senate was able to reach

a bipartisan agreement that willprovide a sustainable, market-based solution that ensures accessand affordability for all students,including students with subsi-dized and unsubsidized loans. Pre-vious Democrat proposals ignoredthe problem of high interest ratesfor other types of federal educa-tion loans and would have only ad-dressed interest rates for 40percent of student loan borrowers.This bipartisan proposal passedby the Senate reduces interestrates for all students.

The Senate bill would allowrates to float with the U.S. Treas-ury 10-year borrowing rates, plusan add-on for costs associated withdefaults, collections, deferments,

forgiveness, and delinquency. Thisallows students to benefit from thecurrent low interest rate environ-ment while better protecting tax-payers from unnecessarilysubsidizing lower rates, savingboth students and taxpayers bil-lions of dollars. The resulting in-terest rates for loans taken outthis year, after July 1, 2013, wouldbe 3.86 percent for subsidized and

unsubsidized loans for undergrad-uate students, 5.41 percent on un-subsidized loans for graduatestudents, and 6.41 percent onPLUS loans for parents and grad-uate students. These rates wouldapply retroactively to newly is-sued loans taken out after July 1,2013.

The costs of attending collegecan create challenging and stress-ful situations for some families,but providing certainty about in-terest rates can help ease the bur-den. I am pleased that the Senatewas able to reach a bipartisan,permanent market-based solutionthat lowers interest rates for allstudents.

Investing in Our Kids

Think back to the days of schoollunches, study guides and latenight homework.

Sure the days seemed long andwe may have been more excitedabout the big game that nightthan algebra, but what we alllearned in the classroom gave usthe foundation we needed for fu-ture education and jobs.

Ive always believed that deci-sions are best made at the locallevel and this includes decisionsrelating to our education system.Recently, the House voted to reau-thorize the Elementary and Sec-ondary Education Act, commonlyreferred to as No Child Left Be-hind. The Student Success Act,which I supported, will restorelocal control, support effectiveteachers, reduce the federal foot-print and empower parents.

We all know that no one has agreater stake in student successthan moms and dads who caredeeply about their childrens fu-ture. This bill will give parents a

stronger voice and allow them tobecome more hands-on in theirchilds education.

Included in the Student SuccessAct were bipartisan provisions Iintroduced alongside Rep. RickLarsen (D-WA) that improve theImpact Aid program by increasingefficiency, eliminating subjectivity,and providing greater flexibility toschool districts. Impact Aid helpsmany South Dakota school dis-tricts with costs resulting fromlarge amounts of federally im-pacted land including militarybases, Indian lands and federalproperty.

We are currently operatingunder outdated policies that makeit hard to get the best teacherspossible in our schools. Greatteachers have the ability to inspireand empower our children eachday. This bill will eliminate inef-fective federal teaching require-ments and will instead switch thefocus to classroom results. Weshould be supporting our teachers,not pressuring educators to teachto the test.

In South Dakota, we know andunderstand that a one-size-fits-allapproach doesnt work. The needsof our rural schools are much dif-ferent than schools in New YorkCity.

I believe its crucial that legisla-tion take into account the differ-ences between states, and thatsexactly what the Student Success

Act does.Our children deserve the best

education we can offer. In the faceof stiff global competition for jobsand research opportunities, we ex-pect a lot from our students,teachers and administrators. Butwith the proper support and ac-countability, I have no doubt thatour students can and will be suc-cessful in tackling any challengesthey may encounter.

I hope youll take a moment tosend me an email through mywebsite to share your thoughts oneducation reform and perhapsshare a story about one of your fa-vorite teachers. You can email meat http://noem.house.gov.

Breaking the Gridlockand Securing OurEconomic Future

This week, President Obamalaid out a vision for Americas eco-nomic future. Since day one, theObama Administration has beenfocused on our nations economicrecovery, and over recent yearsweve seen positive signs ofgrowth.

Businesses have created morethan 7 million new jobs over thepast 40 months. The housing mar-ket is coming back. Led by thetremendous productivity of Amer-icas farmers and ranchers, our na-tions exports are growing.

But we also know that much re-mains to be done, and theres noexcuse for letting up. The Presi-dent is squarely focused on build-ing a strong middle class. He iscommitted to ensuring that every

American has the opportunity to

secure a good job, a quality educa-tion, a dependable place to callhome, a secure path to retirementand affordable health care withdecent benefits.

Those opportunities are just asimportant for folks who call rural

America home. At USDA, we havelaid out a vision to rebuild therural economy and create a strongmiddle class in rural America. Inrecent years weve expanded mar-kets for agriculture and ruralbusiness, while laying the ground-work for new growth in the com-ing generation.

With Washington sufferingfrom too much gridlock today,President Obama pledged thathell do everything within his ex-ecutive power to keep makingprogress. At USDA well continueour own efforts, building on therecord results weve achieved inrecent years.

Meanwhile we will continue towork with Congress to break the

gridlock and accomplish bigthings. For rural America, Con-gress must act as soon as possibleto pass a comprehensive Food,Farm and Jobs Bill, which is cru-cial for USDAs efforts to grow therural economy and provide new in-

come in rural communities.Additionally, by fixing Amer-icas broken immigration system,Congress can strengthen Ameri-can agriculture, grow the ruraleconomy, and create a common-sense system that works for farm-ers and farm workers alike.

Over the coming months, Pres-ident Obama will continue to dis-cuss his vision for a strong middleclass. Hell outline steps that canbe taken by the administration, byCongress and by other partners tohelp grow the economy. Folks inour small towns and rural commu-nities can help lead the way onthat effort, and USDA will standwith rural America every step ofthe way.

Weekly Column | Agriculture Secretary Vilsack

At a time when Americantroops are bravely serving theircountry, we are reminded of thesacrifices of previous generationsof Americans who risked or gavetheir lives for the freedom we all

enjoy today.August is full of opportunities

to honor our veterans. This yearlegislation was enacted designat-ing August 7 as Purple HeartRecognition Day, a working hol-iday dedicated to remember andrecognize those members of the

Armed Forces of the United Stateswho have earned the Purple HeartMedal for wounds received in com-bat. So as August 7 approaches,let us not forget the men andwomen of our armed forces whohave received the Purple Heartand who have gone above and be-yond the call of duty to preserveour freedom.

Another great opportunity tothank our military personnel, our

veterans, and their families is toattend Veterans Day at the SouthDakota State Fair on August 29.This is a special day to recognizethe sacrifices and successes ofthose who have served in the

Armed Forces, both past and pres-ent. At 10:30 a.m. there will be aSalute to Veterans on the North-west Energy Freedom Stage(Recreation Avenue). Representa-tives from the South Dakota De-partment of Veterans Affairs, theveterans service organizationsand the county and tribal vet-erans service officers will have aninformational booth in the Veter-ans Building on Flag Avenue.This booth will be staffed through-out the span of the fair and willgive veterans an opportunity totalk to experts about benefits andprograms available to them.

Veterans attending school thisfall at one of South Dakotas uni-versities or technical schools,

please remember to make contactwith the schools certifying offi-cials. They are a great resource toassist you in transitioning fromsoldier to student.

South Dakota is fortunate to

have over 75,000 veterans 75,000 men and women who haveproudly served this country andare deserving of benefits they haveearned. I challenge each of you toreach out to veterans in your fam-ily and ask them Have you evervisited with your veterans serviceofficer to see if you qualify for anybenefits? Encourage them tomake that contact. A listing of theveterans service officers can befound at: http://mva.sd.gov/vet_service_officers.html

It is important that we honorthe men and women in uniformwho have made tremendous sacri-fices in the defense of our nationand who remind us of their valorand service.

Your questions,our answers

Q: My son will be 18 in a fewmonths. He is disabled sincebirth, lives in a group home, andreceives Supplemental SecurityIncome (SSI). I am Representa-tive Payee for his benefits and mywife and I recently were appointedas his guardians. For SSI, is thereanything that I need to do prior tohim becoming 18?

A: Even though administeredby the Social Security Administra-tion, Supplemental Security In-come (SSI) is a very differentprogram from Social Security. SSIpays benefits to disabled adultsand disabled children who havelimited income and resources. SSI

benefits also are payable to people65 and older without disabilitieswho meet the financial limits. Peo-ple may also be able to receive So-cial Security as well as SSI.

In general, since your son isyounger than age 18, the originalmedical decision used to establishhis Supplemental Security Incomeeligibility was based on childhoodcriteria. Near age 18, expect amedical review to see if he meetsadult disability requirements forbenefits to continue.

SSA does not recognize power ofattorney. A representative payee isappointed by Social Security tomanage SSA and SSI funds of ben-eficiaries who are incapable ofdoing.

Payee responsibilities are out-

lined in A Guide for Representa-tive Payees athttp://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10076.pdf.

Since you are his payee, a SSArepresentative will contact you forupdated information for the med-ical review. You will also updatenon-medical information, includ-ing about his income, financial re-sources and living arrangements.Remember to report that you andyour wife have been appointedyour sons legal guardians so thathis SSI record can be updated.

Something for the future: Sinceyour sons disability began prior toage 22, he might become eligiblefor Social Security benefits uponretirement of you or your wife.

I drove to Philip last week to at-tend a meeting hosted by AARP onsome of the rules about Medicareand Social Security. There wereseveral of the guests who took partin the question and answer session.

We were not busy at the CAP of-fice last week. I stopped at the li-brary to take some outdated booksto the laundromat and to our give

away on the benches here at theapartments. The Guideposts surewent fast. I showed the librarian a

book I found, Being a Widow. It isreally worth reading.

I just returned from visitingfriends at the care center. They aredelightful people. That was aboutmy third visit this week.

I met Dick Pinney in the halljust a bit ago. He was on his way tothe south end of the apartments tovisit with some friends.

Chuck and Merry Willard droveto Pinedale, WY, on Friday to thehome of their daughter and family.On Saturday, they loaded up theirdaughter, granddaughter and ahorse and headed back home. Thiswas Coleen, Frankie, and a horsenamed Jim. Merry said it soundedlike something out of a country-western song especially if youcould add in something about a

train. They went as far as Gilletteon Saturday where they stayed ina motel and housed the horse witha friend of Coleens husband, BillyGransden. On Sunday they drovethe rest of the way home afterdoing a bit of shopping in RapidCity. Back at the ranch, Frankiekept busy gathering eggs and run-ning around the place. On the wayout, theyd picked up some meat atthe locker and taken it with themfor Coleen. Next weekend, daugh-ter Niki will join the group andtheyll all head up to Trail City forthe wedding of Merrys niece whois the daughter of her youngestbrother. Coleen plans to stay atleast a week and maybe more. Shewas looking forward to helpingbrand a few late calves on Monday.While Chuck and Merry weregone, Tom DeVries came down, didchores, and looked after things. He

also brought an alfalfa bale for thechickens, and the birds were de-lighted with it since they thoughtthe leaves were real tasty.

John and Jamie Dolezal andkids were visited on Sunday byJamies uncle and cousin, Monteand Brady Schofield, of Midland.They just hung out and visited.They also visited Jamies dad,Kirby, next door. Kirbys wife,Nancy, was gone at the time sinceshe was working at 1880 Town.Shed worked there some in themorning, taken time off to go tochurch in Belvidere, and then re-turned for another stint. Jamiesaid they are heavily into hayingas well as breaking down, fixing,and haying some more. She alsowas glad that the tomatoes havestarted ripening since theyve hadthree ripe ones already with moregetting close. Barring damagefrom weather or bugs, they should

have them coming out their earsbefore long since they got a littlecarried away planting them thisspring. That will be okay.

Mary Johnston was visitedmost of last week by her sister, Ja-nine Barbknetch, of Waseca, MN,and Janines granddaughter,Erica. One day they all went to theBlack Hills where they viewed Mt.Rushmore but not the Reptile Gar-

dens. Mary said she sees all thesnakes she needs to see locallywithout purposely going to seemore. The Hills trip was just a daytrip and not overnight. On otherdays, they visited Larry andLonny Johnston and families. OnSaturday, Gay Logan of Philipcame to stay overnight and helpMary celebrate her birthday. Gayand Mary get together twice a yearto celebrate their birthdays withsupper eaten out and such. Theywent to Club 27 in Kadoka for sup-per on Saturday and attendedchurch together in Belvidere onSunday. Marys birthday is actu-ally on July 30, but the weekendwas a better time to celebrate itthan on Tuesday. Other than that,Mary said they are trying to waitpatiently for the wheat to dry outenough to be harvested.

Kenny and Roxie Fox attended

a Fox family reunion last weekendover south of Carter which is nottoo far from Mission. It was heldat the home of Dawn Littau whoorganized the event which drewmaybe sixty people or so. A lot ofKennys relatives live west of hereby Newell and in that area, but hisgrandfather actually started overnorth of Mission which accountsfor relatives now being over thatway. The reunion was a three-dayevent although Kenny and Roxieonly stayed there two nights. SonWade didnt attend the reunion,however. He went to Rapid City in-stead.

Eve Fortune tried her hand atdriving a semi this week. It washer first time at that, and she saidit went okay. She mostly drove ina field but at least didnt hit anyhay bales or anything. She hasntdecided yet if she wants to learnmore and try for a CDL license,

which her husband, Chuck, thinkswould be a good thing. It isnt com-pletely necessary since Bob For-tune does have a CDL, and havingthat license is only really neces-sary by law if you drive over 150miles from home.

Betty Kusick went fishing withher son and grandson, Kenny andKevin, on Saturday. The guys canfish quite a long time so Betty was

a little tired at the end of the ex-pedition. She did manage to catcha six-pound bass, though, whichmade her day. The guys didnthave quite that good a luck, butdid catch some fish. At one point,Bettys fishing reel got all snarledup but Kenny was able to put itright with a little time and effort.When they got home, Kevincleaned all their fish and left themwith Betty.

Syd, Corinne and Chance Iwanwere visited by nieces andnephews this week. On Monday,Corinnes niece, Janelle Rose,stopped by with her husband,Troy, of North Carolina. They wererunning around the country visit-ing lots of relatives. Troy is a lieu-tenant commander in the Navywhere he started as an enlistedman and then became an officerlater on. He is getting close to

mandatory retirement when hereaches thirty years of service, andthat doesnt please him. He likesthe Navy a lot and would just assoon stay in longer if he could. OnSunday, Syds nephew, JasonJones, of Pierre came throughwith his wife, Tasha. They were onmotorcycles and had been visitingJasons aunt and her husband whohave a cabin near Deadwood.The so-called cabin is two storiesplus a basement and isnt exactlywhat one thinks of as a little cabinin the woods. While there, theytook in some of the Days of 76events with their two young kidswho had gone there with theiraunt so Jason and Tasha couldride their cycles. Jason and Tashasometimes take in the Sturgisrally but cant this year so theywent a little early instead to get ina ride anyway.

Dig into Reading summer program

The summer reading program, Dig into Reading, at the Jackson County Library had a special treat this Wednesday whenCraig Coller of West River Excavation paid the readers a visit. Each week, the children explore a different topic on the theme ofdigging. From planting seeds to worm races to growing crystals, there is always something new to learn. And this week was noexception as the theme of digging turned to mechanical marvels that dig.

A story was shared about the trucks, loaders, backhoes and crews that are all an important part of building the roads thatlink town to town. Then the children divided into two groups to work on their art projects or journals.

After they were done, the children had a special surprise and group went outside to where Coller had his backhoe waiting.He told the children about the backhoe, how this equipment is used, and helped each into the drivers seat for a photo.

It was the highlight of the day! It was so fun to have West River Excavation here and Coller for taking time out of his busywork schedule to come and share about his work and equipment. The summer reading program was made richer by his partic-ipation.

Only two more weeks remain in t he summer reading program for 2013, We welcome children ages two-12 interested in takingpart, to come on down to the Jackson County Library on Main Street in Kadoka. Its never too late to Dig into Reading!

Babies and toddlers arent theonly ones who need immuniza-tions. Parents should be awarethat their preteens and collegefreshmen also need to be vacci-nated, said a state health official.

College freshmen who live indorms and unvaccinated kids en-tering high school are at high riskfor meningococcal disease and

should be vaccinated, said Dr.Lon Kightlinger, state epidemiolo-gist for the Department of Health.

And eleven and twelve year-olds need a booster shot for pertus-sis.

Meningococcal disease is a bac-terial infection resulting in inflam-mation of the tissues covering thebrain and spinal cord.

Symptoms include fever, severeheadache, stiff neck, vomiting anda rash. Ten to fourteen percent ofpeople with the disease die and upto nineteen percent of survivorsmay suffer permanent disabilitiessuch as hearing loss, limb ampu-tations or brain disease.

South Dakota typically reportsthree cases of meningococcal dis-ease a year. To date in 2013, fourcases have been reported.

Meningococcal vaccine is avail-able from family health careproviders and campus studenthealth centers.

The department provides thevaccine for eleven to eighteenyear-olds who are eligible for thefederal Vaccines for Children Pro-gram (Medicaid eligible, Native

American or Alaskan Native,uninsured or underinsured).

The vaccine is free for these chil-

dren but providers may charge anadministration fee.

Whooping cough, or pertussis, isa serious illness that causes un-controllable coughing, rib frac-tures, pneumonia, loss ofconsciousness and even death.

Infants are at highest risk, withtwo-thirds of those under age oneinfected needing hospitalization.

There have been eleven pertus-sis cases reported in South Dakotato date in 2013; three of thosecases have been younger than one.

A pertussis vaccine booster doseis recommended at eleven totwelve years when immunity be-gins to wane. The initial pertussisseries is given to children at twomonths, four months, six months,fifteen to eighteen months, andfour to six years.

The department provides thechildhood series of whoopingcough vaccine and the booster dosefree for eleven to fourteen yearolds. Providers may charge an ad-ministration fee.

Read John 1:14-18Imagine receiving a big beautifully wrapped gift when theres no particular

occasionthe sender simply chose to do this for you. Inside the package is

something very special. Eagerly, you read the card to discover who could havebeen so generous. To your amazement, you learn that the giver is someoneyou have been avoidingand to whom you have been unkind! What do youdo?

This scenario is a picture of the Fathers grace in sending His Son Jesusto earth for us. There was no special occasion; God simply had the desire todo it. The present arrived, despite the fact that we were either passively ig-noring the Lord or actively rebelling against Him. This is graceGods good-ness and kindness extended to those who do not deserve it and have nopossible way to earn it.

In the Son, we see the fullness of Gods kindness revealed. Jesus fully metall the requirements of divine law by living a perfect life on earth; because ofHis sinless life as a man, He was qualified to pay the price for our rebelliousways. He did this by sacrificing His life on the cross to pay for all our sinspast, present, and future. So, when we receive Him as our Savior, God countsJesus death as payment for all we have done wrong. Whats more, upon oursalvation, Christs perfect life is counted as our own; His righteousness be-comes ours through faith (Rom. 4:5).

What will you do with Gods gift of gracerefuse it, or say thank Youand make an effort to get to know Him? And if you already do know Christ,have you been taking Him for granted?

SET Session #7 was hosted bythe Interior community onWednesday, July 17. The new FireHall served as our location, with abrief history of the community pro-vided by Cliff McClure and LindaLivermont. A picnic supper wasserved.

SET #7 had a theme of Identify-ing Assets in the Region.

The group was given handoutsthat helped individuals assessboth their personal and their lead-ership skills. These handoutscould be adapted as committeesform around goals, and certainskill sets are needed in the com-mittees.

A Voluntary Assoc./Local Insti-tutions assessment was examinedas another tool that could be usedto assess how those groups couldhelp the region meet its goals.

The Community Capitalsframework was reviewed.

Discussion was held on how de-veloping one capital in the regioncould easily lead to the spiralingup of other capitals with somework and focus.

The other piece that was dis-cussed in relation to goals andstrategies was the barriers thatwe need to recognize as we moveforward. It will be far better to facethese barriers on the front end ofour work.

The bulk of our time was spentin small groups that aligned withthe industry clusters chosen by thegroup at the last session. Here arethe groups and the strategies theychose to develop:

Value-Added Agriculture Connecting Local Producers toConsumers

Tourism Capitalizing on re-

gional museums and finding localartifacts to display

Telecommunications Actingas a wholesaler of high-qualitycable for smaller telecom compa-nies

The groups used this sampleworksheet to develop their strate-gies:

Groups identified specific peo-ple or groups of people, Voluntaryassociations, Formal institutions,and Physical Resources that arealready in our region, and can betapped into as assets for our goalsand strategies.

Here is a brief report of each

groups work:Value-Added Ag: This group is

interested in a marketing cam-paign to highlight local producersand get them connected to con-sumers. A possible profile of theproducer and what they growcould be put into a brochure, listedon a website, and promoted acrossthe region in many ways.

Tourism: This group identifiedseveral local museums in our re-gion. They proposed a guided tourto the various communities thatcould be initiated as a privatebusiness, or done through a publicentity. The tour could be done on abus with a pre-recorded guide, ora live guide. Museums would beencouraged to set hours thataligned with the bus tours, and tospruce up exhibits and keep themcurrent. SD School of Mines was

identified as a regional resourcethat could be used, and SD Histor-ical Society could help.

Telecommunications: A need forhigh-quality cable by smallertelecommunications companieswas identified, with an opportu-nity for our region to be a whole-sale provider. An empty building,possibly in Kadoka, could housethe inventory, and connectionscould be made through GoldenWest. This idea may lead to leak-ages that could be plugged in otherareas of telecommunications mate-rials, by using our region as a sup-plier.

The worksheet used to developthese strategies could be used tobuild any other ideas the regionwants to pursue.

Homework:Use the Voluntary Associa-

tions/Formal Institutions sheet to

analyze one other group you areinvolved in. Try to choose a groupor entity that could be an asset toSET.

Use the ABCD/Capitals work-sheet and fill in the blanks for an-other strategy you would like tosee the region pursue for economicdevelopment.

The next meeting will be heldon Thursday, August 15 inKadoka. The exact time and loca-tion will be announced. We will belooking at around the 5:30 p.m.time to begin the session, with apossible optional tour first.

Mellette County Livestock Show nears In a few weeks (Aug. 21, 2013),the Mellette County Livestock Im-provement Association will host the19th annual Pen of 3 Heifer Showin White River, SD. Within the pre-

vious 18 shows, there have beensmall changes, but nothing like thechanges taking place this year.

In the past, cattle in the Englishbreed division, have been separatedaccording to weights taken the dayof the show. Half of the pens weredesignated Lightweight, and theother half Heavyweight.

This year weights will be takenas cattle are registered and will beentered in divisions according todate of birth. This will be done withnot only the English divisions, butalso the Purebred divisions.

The divisions will be as follows:English: Early Spring (calves bornin Jan.-Feb.); English: Mid-Spring(calves born in Mar.); English: LateSpring (calves born in April-May);Purebred: Early Spring (calvesborn in Jan. -Feb.); Purebred: Mid-Spring (calves born in March);Purebred: Late Spring (calves born

in April-May).The board of directors felt that itwould encourage more consistencyin the judging process, where, forexample, calves born in April wouldnot be competing in the same divi-sion as calves born in February.

In an effort to encourage youngcattle producers to become in-volved, an entirely new divisioncalled the Young Ranchers HeiferCalf Division. This division is onlyopen to producers under the age of

30. They must own the calf andhave their own brand.

Each young rancher will be al-lowed to enter a single heifer calf inthis division. All of these calves will

be penned together for judgingpurposes.

Knowing that some of theseyoung ranchers might be in highschool or college at the time of thelivestock show, they may have aparent or other adult bring theircalf to the show for them, but theywill have to be able to show that thecalf belongs to the young rancher,and not a parent or other producer.

A division of Feeder Steer Calveswill also be included this year, as inthe past two years.

Any producer may enter onesteer calf in this competition. Allsteers will be penned together for

judging, the trophies be awardedfor the Champion and ReserveChampion Feeder Steer calf.

This livestock show, althoughheld in White River, SD, is open toproducers from across the area.

The date of the show this year is

Wed., August 21. Cattle will bechecked in from 8:30 - 10:30 a.m.CT, with judging at 11 a.m.

A free beef lunch is provided toall attendees, as well as numerousdoor prizes, of which you have to bepresent to win.

There is no fee to enter cattle inthis show. If you would like addi-tional information, you may contactMCLIA President Dan Krogman at605-259-3688.
