The Weather Channel began as-signing names to big snowstormsin 2012. A blizzard that blasted theMidwest on Jan. 12, 1888, was sodestructive that it acquired severalnames: The Childrens Blizzard,The Schoolchildrens Blizzardand The Schoolhouse Blizzard.The morning felt more like Aprilthan January: warm, calm andclear.

Oscar Coursey, three of his sib-lings and their schoolmates were atrecess the morning of Jan. 12,1888, outside the schoolhouse near

their homestead in southwesternBeadle County, playing in theirshirt sleeves, without hats or mit-tens. Suddenly, we looked up andsaw something coming rolling to-ward us with great fury from thenorthwest, and making a loudnoise, Coursey wrote in Pioneer-ing in Dakota. It looked like along string of big bales of cotton,each one bound tightly with heavycords of silver, and then all tied to-gether with great silvery rope.

All the children had just gotteninside the schoolhouse when thestorm struck with such force that itnearly moved the building off itscobblestone foundation.

George Duernberger had takenhis horses to a well about one-halfmile from his homestead in FaulkCounty when one of the horses

jerked the halter rope from hishand and started for the barn. Ahurried glance to the northwestshowed him a gray bank.

Then the wind came. Every-thing was blotted out, and the traildisappeared, the horses headswere not visible It was difficultto breathe and utterly impossibleto keep my eyes open against thedriving snow The cold was pierc-ing, according to Duernbergersaccount in The South Dakota His-torical Societys bulletin The Wi-Iyohi.

A brief break in the storm en-abled him to recognize a landmarkand realize where he was. He wasable to get his horses in the barnand start for the house. He wasguided to the house by the sound ofhis wife blowing on a trumpet.

It was but eighty minutes since

I had left for the well. An eternity,however, had elapsed.

Sadie Shaw wrote her brotherand sister that the wind knockedher down when she attempted to goto the coal box about a rod (about5.5 yards) east of her sod house inthe Platte/Geddes area. Her hus-band had gone to get their childrenfrom school when he realized astorm was coming. He returnedhome safely after being in thestorm for about an hour, unsuccess-ful in his attempt to reach theschoolhouse.

Oh the agony of that hour noone can tell, Shaw wrote in her let-ter contained in 900 Miles fromNowhere: Voices from the Home-stead by Steven R. Kinsella. Thestorm grew wilder colder andthicker every moment until itseemed to breathe nothing butDeath and Death inevitable in itsevery gust. You could not see 3 feetfrom the window at times and not6 feet ahead all day.

A combination of gale winds,blinding snow and rapidly drop-ping temperatures made the stormdangerous. The Signal Station atHuron reported that the wind aver-aged 45 to 50 mph, with gusts up to60 mph. The temperature fell from20 degrees at noon to 17 degreesbelow zero at 10 p.m., further drop-ping to 28 degrees below zero dur-ing the night.

The storm abated early on Jan.

13. Shaws husband went for thechildren and found them all safe.Others were not as fortunate.

The Wi-Iyohi listed the names of178 people who perished in theblizzard in South Dakota. Manywho lay dead on the prairie werechildren who were caught on theirway home from school. In The Chil-drens Blizzard, author DavidLaskin states that about 500 peo-ple in the Dakotas, Nebraska andMinnesota perished in the storm.

Coursey was one of the fortunateschoolchildren, as his teacher kepther flock of pioneer children in theschoolhouse while the storm ragedand into the long, cold night.

In the morning of Jan. 13, theteacher saw that the storm haddied out, took the schoolchildren toher nearby claim shanty, fed themand sent them home.

Coursey sat by his mothers bed-

side when she died in September1914. The last thing she said to mebefore she passed away was this:Son, you will never know the bur-den that was lifted from my heartthe next morning after the BigBlizzard, when I looked out andsaw you four older children scam-pering home over the snow-drifts,when I was positively sure you hadall perished in the storm.

workshop January 15

by Del BartelsDuke Westerbergs last day as

county executive director of theHaakon/Jackson County FarmService Agency United States De-partment of Agriculture was Janu-ary 3.

He described his future plans byfirst saying that his brother-in-lawonce said, There is no flexibilitylike not having a plan. Ive alwaysliked that, and, right now, Impretty flexible.

It has been 33 years since West-erberg successfully interviewed forthe position in Philip. Before that,

he graduated from Huron HighSchool and spent four years as anaircraft mechanic in the UnitedStates Air Force. He had graduatedfrom South Dakota State Univer-sity in 1983 with a bachelor of sci-ence in economics and inagricultural business. Back then,the FSA was the Agricultural Sta-bilization and Conservation Serv-ice. It merged with the FarmersHome Administration in 1995 tobecome todays FSA.

Westerberg went through a sixmonth training program where hevisited offices across South Dakota.You visited other county FSA of-fices, I guess, to pick the brains ofother FSA officers and their man-agement styles, said Westerberg.Depending on the time of year, heand his staff assist producers withConservation Reserve Programbids, farm program sign up,acreage reporting, non-insurancecrop assistance program, commod-ity loans, emergency conservationprogram, and many other govern-ment programs.

You dont find any better peopleanywhere, whether its workingwith the staff or the ag producers,said Westerberg. He added, Theycan get by a lot better without me

than I can without them, and thatsobvious.

Its been a good run, it reallyhas, ups and downs like any job,but its treated me really well, saidWesterberg. Kids think I need tokeep working somewhere and Iagree with them. He will fill muchof his time with what he alreadyenjoys doing video taping schooland community activities, using hiscomputer to edit the videos for in-dividuals and for the schools chan-nel 19 broadcasts, and playing golf.

I tell people that I dont want toquit working, I just want to quitworking for Uncle Sam, said West-erberg.

I like to harass my wife (Pat),but I imagine my honey-do list isgoing to get pretty long, said West-erberg. I think shes a little anx-ious about it. I told her that herpaycheck is part of my retirementplan she didnt think much ofthat.

Westerberg retires from FSA

Jeremiah 9:23-24Peter was a professional fisherman. He knew how to

read weather conditions, where to find the best placesto fish, and when to end an unproductive session. Be-cause of his expertise, he may have silently questioned

the reasonableness of Jesus instruction. Why let down the nets when an experienced team of fishermenhadnt caught anything all night?

At times God asks His children to act in ways that may not seem logical. His request might involveleaving a job or ministry that He provided only recently, taking on more responsibility when life alreadyfeels overloaded, or accepting an assignment that appears better suited for someone with a different skillset. Perhaps Gods plan makes no sense in view of age, finances, or health. Yet, because of the One whoasks, it will be the absolutely right thing to do. We must decide whether to do what is sensible by humanstandards or to obey God.

The Bible talks about many people who had to make such a choice. Abraham was asked to sacrificehis son. Noah was told to build an ark on dry land because a flood was coming. Joshua was given a mil-itary strategy of marching around Jericho instead of attacking it. Gideon, the inexperienced fighter, wastold to send most of his warriors home before the battle (Judges 7:2-3).

Dont make the mistake of allowing human logic to dictate whether you follow Gods plan. Trust inHim as Peter and those other faithful believers did. When they chose to obey what the Lord was saying,they all experienced divine power released on their behalf.

Obeying God

Tressa Gabriel__________________

Tressa Gabriel, age 90, of Philip,S.D., died Tuesday, January 1,2013, at the Hans P. Peterson Me-morial Hospital in Philip.

Tressa Belle Coleman was bornOctober 24, 1922, in Woodbine,Iowa, the daughter of Orrin Wes-ley and Goldia Belle (Thomas)Coleman. She lived near Pisgah,Iowa, with her parents and oldersister, Erma, until they left theirhome in the Loess Hills to move toHaakon County northwest ofPhilip, at the age of eight. Theytraveled at 45 mph in the Model TFord while their personal belong-ings and livestock were shipped toCottonwood on the train.

On the farm, she helped milkcows, herd sheep, with chores rais-ing hogs and gardening. Hermother taught her to preserve veg-etables and to prepare wholesomemeals.

Tressa attained an eighth gradeeducation at North Lincoln School.Being too far to walk, they rodehorseback when the weather per-mitted. In cold, snowy weather

Tressa had a room and boarded atAxel Olsons.

An experience she and Ermatalked about often, was Erma tak-ing a rein from her horses bridle tokill a rattlesnake while she was onthe horse something she didoften. One time, the snake caughtin the rein hooks, and the horsesspooked and ran full speed homewith the snake flying in the air be-hind.

Tressa met her lifetime partnerwhen Floyd Gabriel arrived at herparents to purchase some hay.Floyd and Tressa developed a com-panionship that lasted a lifetime.Colemans were concerned aboutTressa and Floyd dating. For themto go anywhere, it was necessaryto take Erma and Frank, (Floydsbrother), along as chaperones.

Tressa and Floyd were marriedMarch 17, 1941, in Philip. They

went to Iowa and Nebraska to visitrelatives for a honeymoon. Quoteof Floyds taken from TressasBrides Book. We got home in fineshape and found everything waso.k. We were a little wiser but justas foolish and wished our honey-moon to continue indefinitely.

This marriage was truly made inheaven. They were business part-ners as well. At first they sum-mered sheep for neighbors as wellas themselves on land for whichthey borrowed money to purchase.When Floyd was away helpingneighbors whose family memberwere serving in the war, Tressawas responsible for their business.

After Beverly was born, Tressaloaded her on the saddle and tookher to tend the sheep all day long.Their only rest was a nap in theshade of the sheep wagon whilethe sheep bedded down by waterduring the heat of the day.

When Tressa was in late preg-nancy with Larry, Tressa, leadingBeverly, took a sheep buyer to viewthe herd. He told Floyd, You wanttoo much for your sheep, but I feelsorry for your wife so Ill give youwhat you want.

Cattle replaced the sheep intheir business. Tressa still rodehorseback. Dixie, her mare, wasstill very important in her life.

In addition to Beverly and Larry,a sister, Ruby, brightened Tressaslife. In 1981, Floyd, Tressa andRuby began traveling the UnitedStates. Tressa enjoyed continuedtrips, collecting state plates andshot glasses while seeing most ofthe continental United States andpart of Canada. Tressa became anexcellent map reader, instructingRuby where to turn. Branson, Mo.,was the highlight of her trips.

She was active in the DowlingCommunity Church where shewas baptized. She was treasurerfor many years.

Tressas hobbies included play-ing the piano, which was pur-chased in 1956 to replace thepump organ which she played byear. She also played the violin, em-

broidered, scrapbooked her chil-drens activities and trips, andenjoyed reading historical fiction.

Leaving to mourn her loss areher three children, BeverlyHamann and her husband, Herb,of Clear Lake, Larry Gabriel andhis wife, Charlotte, of Quinn, andRuby Gabriel of Pedro; a doubleniece, Cindy Nuzum, of Buffalo;four grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.

Tressa was preceded in death byher husband, Floyd, on February5, 1998; her parents; her only sib-ling, Erma Gabriel; and two great-grandchildren.

Morris, better known as Mo,was born November 5, 1927, in Ed-munds County near Edgemont,S.D, the son of Anton and Mary(Kraft) Vetch. Mo was raised ontheir home place.

As he became a young man, hewas a grocery bagger. He moved toRapid City and spent 17 yearswith his caretaker, Evelyn. Molove and appreciated Evelyn andhad many great years of life withher. Although Evelyn cared for Mo,he still referred to Stacy as the

boss. Mo cared and respectedStacy.

While living in Rapid City, Moenjoyed the SD Central StatesFair, especially for the music con-certs and rodeos. He looked for-ward to lunch at the Senior Centeron a daily basis. Mo, being theclever fellow he was, walked theneighborhood and picked up cansto sell. He enjoyed a good cigar inthe evenings on the patio.

Mo moved to the Kadoka Nurs-

ing Home in November of 2011. Al-though it took him awhile to adjustto nursing home life and the peo-ple who cared for him, he becamevery fond of the employees andeven some of the residents.

Mo was a man of few words inhis last few years of life. He couldgo days without anything to say,but when he knew you were listen-ing and trusted you, Mo engagedin conversation.

Mo love his treats. When visitorscame and brought him snacks, wewould have to hide them and ra-tion them or he would have themgone in no time. He enjoyed jokingthat he might share his treat andthen stick the entire treat in hismouth. It was a game he playedwith the staff at the nursing home.Mo also loved money! He carried adollar bill around much of the timeand showed everyone he could. Mo

put on many miles up and downthe halls of the home, but alsoloved going outside. He spentmuch of his time on the front patioof the nursing home watching carsgo by and laughing as they wavedto him.

Thankful for sharing his lifewere two nieces, Jeanette Ander-son of Chadron, Nebr., and Dar-lene Ferber of Billings, MT, alongwith the staff of the Department ofSocial Services, and the KadokaNursing Home staff and residents.

Funeral service were held Mon-day, January 7, at the KadokaNursing Home in Kadoka with Fa-ther Bryan Sorensen officiating.

Graveside service was held onFriday, January 4 at 1 p.m. at theEdgemont Cemetery in Edgemont,S.D. with Rev. Morris Nelson offi-ciating.

These bodies we run around insometimes cause us grief. I recalla time in the middle of last yearwhen I felt somewhat like a ram-bling wreck. There were justenough parts of me that hurt tomake it preferable to stay motion-

less.At the time, I was still dealing

with a heel that had been givingme trouble for several months. Itwas a condition known as plantarfasciitis and involves inflamma-tion of a band of tissue that runsacross the bottom of your foot andconnects the heel bone to the toes.It was probably caused by sloppingaround the house in moccasinsthat had no proper arch supportand had also worn unevenly thinon the bottoms. The pain was at itsworst when I got up in the morn-ings and made me limp some for awhile.

Then, in an effort to fix thingsaccording to Dr. Ks recommenda-tions, I started doing an exercisedesigned to bring relief. This in-volved placing the balls of yourfeet on a step and dropping theheels down as much as possible to

stretch things. Well, that was allfine and well and did help some,but I obviously got too carriedaway so that my one arch startedto click when I moved and thensometimes hurt when I walked.Eventually I learned to repeat theexercises fewer times so as to avoidarch problems, and to just stretchlonger at the bottom of the cycle.Before catching on to that, ofcourse, I had to deal with a click-ing arch.

At the same time as the heeland arch were causing trouble, onesinus decided to plug up and causemisery. Despite my home cure ofbreathing in hot coffee steam andvapors as much as possible, it stillwould clog up part of the time andcause pressure and discomfort.Over-the-counter meds helpedsome when I remembered to takethem, and the sinus behaved itself

part of the time, but still therewere times when nothing didmuch good.

Adding to those things, I alsohad a wrist that throbbed when Imoved it wrong, and my back hadan occasional twinge. These lattertroubles were caused by a miscal-culation one day in leaning downto tend son Chance on the couch. Ithought I was going to lean on thearm of the couch when, in fact, Iwas only leaning on a pillow that

was just enough off the arm to giveno support. As a result, I lost mybalance and dropped the short dis-tance to the floor. I obviouslylanded just wrong enough on thewrist to make it complain while, atthe same time, my back got

twisted a little. Neither of thesewas severe by any means, but theyboth occasionally reminded me tomove circumspectly.

As you know, time is a greathealer in many cases, and all thesethings righted themselves eventu-allysome with help from me andsome without. The heel thing wenton for many months but is now fi-nally gone thanks to buying archsupports and doing exercises. Theother conditions were fortunatelybrief. At present, my only com-plaint is little cracks in the skinaround my fingernails which areprobably caused by dryness andcold weather. I fix those by cover-ing them with a drop of SuperGlue. That works although re-peated treatments are sometimesnecessary. Other than that, the oldbod has been behaving itself oflate.

When I consider things in gen-eral, however, I realize how luckyI am healthwise. I have very littleto complain about. Although noone is probably going to hire me asa model for swimwear or under-wear, this body of mine still allowsme to mostly do what I want with-out causing much trouble. I canwalk, or even run if I want to. I candrive. I can eat almost anythingthat looks good to me and so on. Ihave needed to visit doctors veryinfrequently in my life. When Ilook at other people around me, Iknow I am very fortunate andblessed. Certain loved ones,friends or acquaintances havemuch more to deal with than I dosuch as those bothered by arthri-tis, worn-out joints, chronic painsof this and that, digestive miseries,and so on. These complicated bod-ies of ours have so many ways of

going bad that, when they are op-erating smoothly, it is a majorcause for rejoicing.

So, at the moment I am, thank-fully, not a rambling wrecknoteven close. Memories of being one,though, may prompt me to try toeat a little more sensibly this yearand to get more exercise. It mightbe a good idea to take good care ofthis body of mine so it can continueto serve me well. Guess Ill at leastgive it a try.

Its a Pain

Lookin Aroundby Syd Iwan

A new bridge across the WhiteRiver near Peraults is still sched-uled to be built this summer. Ac-cording to Floyd Iwan and BuddyManke, they were drilling testholes this last week to determinewhat needs to be done as far as pil-ings, etc. The current bridge is veryold and narrow so getting someequipment across it is tricky or im-

possible. The work may take threeto six months and will be a greatinconvenience to those who livenearby since alternate routes areunhandy. For Mankes and Iversensand others close by, going to Murdowill involve a trip south to CedarButte, east to White River, andback north to Murdo. Going toKadoka will involve going southpast the England ranch, west overHorseshoe Butte, north toBelvidere and then west toKadoka. Although the alternateroutes may be scenic, they bothhave some stretches of road thatcan be quite difficult in wetweather.

Floyd Iwan is scheduled forsome minor eye surgery this weekat the Regional Eye Clinic in RapidCity. It is designed to reduce pres-sure and avoid additional eye prob-lems. Floyd said the recent snow at

their place accounted for aboutthree-tenths of an inch of moisturewhen melted down. This was aboutthe only measurable precip thathas fallen there since last June.Floyd and Jane continue to collectmore grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. The current tally is29 grandchildren and eight greats.Three of those arrived this lastyear, and more are expected in thecoming year. Floyd said they arestill able to remember all thenames, but the birthdates and agesmay get a bit fuzzy from time totime.

Buddy Manke and Peggy Martinmoved a new small building toBuds this weekend that will be-come a certified kitchen for pro-cessing some of their gardenproduce for sale. They have a cou-ple of greenhouses and acres of gar-den for production of veggies andsuch. Bud said he has chickens inone of the greenhouses now thatare busily tilling the soil, eatingbugs, and adding fertilizer inpreparation for the coming season.Seeds have been ordered and planshave been made. Some seeds willbe started later this month. Wateris piped in from a nearby spring.

According to Bud, this al l startedout as a hobby but has somehownow grown into a job. Bud said hehas been tearing down part of abarn over by Cedar Butte this pastweek. There are two large sets ofpig barns over that way for large-scale production that are currentlynot being used. The one close toWhite River was damaged by windand is mostly worn out so it willprobably no longer be used. Theone just north of Cedar Butte isstill useable but currently not inproduction. Bud also reported thecoyote population is rebounding

from being decimated for a fewyears by mange.

Jo Rodgers actually spent all oflast week working at the MurdoPost Office where she is the officialpostmaster. She called it a Christ-mas miracle since she has beenrouted to various other post officesa lot in the last year and not beenat Murdo all that much. This week

is scheduled for Murdo again ex-cept for one day at Belvidere. Otherthan that, life is fairly quiet. Joryis still involved in wrestling atschool but has also been helping toget the Belvidere Store organizedfor reopening before long.

Bobbi Eckert and Ben Gaylordof Denver, CO arrived at the Rickand Ronda Dennis home Wednes-day night. Due to the weather con-ditions the trip took longer thannormal. On Saturday they wentwith Rick and Ronda to Aaron andLori Iversens for their familyChristmas. Bobbi and Ben re-turned to Denver Sunday morning.

Jim and Georgann Addison arescheduled for more bleacher timethis year since daughter Jami wasupgraded to play on the Murdo Bbasketball team this last week.Jami is only an eighth grader andis excited that shell be able to play

more this year. The grade-schoolseason is already done for the year,but the high-school season will con-tinue for several months yet. Jamiplayed in her first game last weekon the B team and did okay. Keyand Royal Addison celebrated alate Christmas with Jim and fam-ily the day before New Years. Theyalso helped chop some ice to watercattle.

Chuck Willard was scheduledfor hip-replacement surgery inRapid City on Tuesday. This willslow him down for a number ofweeks, but he hopes to be recoveredenough by branding season to helpwith that. The branding season isprobably Chucks favorite time ofyear, and he would hate to miss outon it. A week ago Sunday, Chuckand Merry drove to Nebraska to re-turn their grandson, Faron, to sonCasey. Casey lives farther on in Ne-braska but met Chuck and Merryat about the half way point fromhere to there.

Glenn Freemans son, Jimmie,returned to Iowa this week to becloser to his kids and family. Jim-mie came here to help Glenn andLucy after Glenn had knee-replace-ment surgery, but he decided it wasnow time to head back east.

Jump into Fitnesswith Jump Roping

Do you remember the last timeyou jumped rope? Memories of re-cess on the playground can take usback to our school days. Back then,skipping rope was considered a funway to play. Today, jump roping isan intense, moderate-impact phys-ical activity. Individuals striving toobtain their New Years resolutionsof getting fit may consider revivingtheir jump roping activities. Its anexercise that lets you jump foryour health.

There are several benefits tojump roping. It can be used as ameans to attain weight loss.Jumping rope for 30 minutes canburn approximately 300 calories.It is a great way to improve themuscle tone in your legs and lowerbody. It also increases cardiovascu-lar fitness. (Make sure to consultyour health care provider beforebeginning this type of exercise rou-tine.) Physical skills that can beimproved with jump roping in-

clude better coordination, timingand balance.

Jump roping is a simple activitythat burns a lot of calories and canbe done in any location with verylittle equipment. You only need a

jump rope and athletic shoes withcushioned soles and good support.Proper footwear helps safeguardthe jumper from joint injury.

Three different types of jumpropes include: cloth, speed andbeaded. Cloth ropes are heavierand slide on the floor easier. Thedownfall is that they get dirty andwear out easily. Speed style ropesare lightweight and made of vinylcord. They are recommended forinside use since they can weardown quickly on harsh surfaces.These ropes allow the highestnumber of turns per minute, re-sulting in an intense workout witha lot of calories burned. Beaded

ropes are the heaviest, are re-silient to harsh environments andkeep a good arc. They are made ofplastic or polyurethane 1.5-inchlong segments with a nylon innercord. The segments or beads keepthe rope from tangling, which isgood for beginners.

To determine the size of jump

rope you need, grab the ends of therope, one in each hand. Step on thecenter of the rope. Pull the ends ofthe rope up towards your shoul-ders. The ends of the rope will beat armpit level if the rope is thecorrect length.

It is estimated that 10 minutesof jumping rope (at 120 turns perminute) has the same benefit as

jogging fo r 30 minutes. Here aresome jump roping basics:

Keep elbows close to yoursides, hold the handles firmly andkeep them positioned a little belowwaist level.

Make small circles with yourwrist when turning the rope tomake the rope rotate around thebody.

The actual jumps should beonly one inch from the ground.Landing should be soft and alwayson the balls of your feet.Warm-up exercises are very im-

portant to do prior to jump roping.This can reduce the risk of injuryto muscles. After jump roping,

walk slowly for a few minutes tocool down.

No matter how hectic yourschedule gets, you can take your

jump rope with you almost any-where. For more workout ideasand techniques, go tohttp://bit.ly/Vy4Hzk for a free 10-Minute Jump Rope workout, cour-tesy of SparkPeople.com.

protects 99 percent of SouthDakota taxpayers from govern-ment reaching into their pocketsand taking more of their money.

The fiscal cliff also posed a veryserious threat to the future of fam-ily farming in South Dakota. With-

out action, the death tax wouldhave reverted to a $1 million ex-emption and 55 percent tax rate onany assets above that, which wouldhave ensnared more than 70 per-cent of South Dakotas crop produc-ers. The fiscal cliff legislation Isupported made permanent the $5million death tax exemption so thatmore family farms and businessescan stay in the family. I will con-tinue to work with others in Con-gress to permanently repeal thedeath tax. There were other impor-tant parts of the bill that waspassed, including a temporary ex-tension of the Farm Bill.

Even with the glimmers of goodin the bill, this deal doesnt evenbegin to touch the real problem ournation is facing: spending. SouthDakotans have heard the numbersrepeated over and over again: $16trillion debt; $1 trillion annualdeficits; $50,000 owed by everychild in America. In my short timein Washington, I have alreadyvoted for trillions in spending cutsand I will not stop fighting tooth-and-nail to force Washington to livewithin its means.

The people of South Dakotaknow whats at stake if we fail toaddress our spending crisis. I willcontinue to stand up for SouthDakotans every step of the way andfight for responsible spending cutsthat will secure Americas future.

And I encourage South Dakotansto make their voices heard in thisas well. Because we dont just needleadership, we deserve it. For thesake of our children and for love ofour country, we must rein in theout-of-control spending that threat-ens the way of life we all hold dear.

For the weeks leading up to NewYear's Day 2013, the talk was notof ball drops, fireworks or New

Years resolutions. Instead, it wasabout the "fiscal cliff;" when thelargest tax increase in Americanhistory and across the board spend-

ing cuts would take effect andthreaten to tip America's weakeconomy back into recession.

Congress knew this cliff wascoming for more than a year. Infact, it was a cliff of Washingtonsown making. That is why theHouse got to work to avert the cliffmonths ago. In June, we voted toreplace the across-the-board spend-ing cuts with more targeted reduc-tions. In August, we voted toextend tax relief for all Americans,which was set to expire on January1 and would have resulted in anenormous tax increase on every-one.

Unfortunately, just because theHouse gets its work done doesntmean the rest of our nations lead-ers have to follow our lead. So thebills thoughtfully crafted andpassed by the House sat untouchedin the Senate and ignored by thePresident. Instead of leading, thePresident chose to posture and playpolitical games with hardworking

American families. It wasnt untilwe were nearly over the cliff thatthe Administration got truly en-gaged and a deal was brokered.

I will be the first to admit thatthe deal that is now law is flawed,and is an unfortunate example ofhow politics are getting in the wayof common sense policy. However,faced with the choice of allowingtaxes to go up on every taxpayer in

America or enacting permanent taxrelief for 99 percent of them, Ichose the latter. I want to make itclear that had Congress done noth-ing, middle class families in SouthDakota would be paying $2,000more this year in taxes. I refused tostand by and allow that to happen.Instead, I chose the option that

food supply for 2013 and futureyears.

High unemployment, a soaringfederal debt, and a decline in globalcompetitiveness are taking a toll on

American businesses, large andsmall. This year the average priceof gasoline hit a record high, giving

new meaning to the term pain atthe pump. Overreaching govern-ment bureaucracies and an over-abundance of unnecessary federalregulations have also severely re-stricted many of our entrepreneursand job creators from making in-vestments, adding new workers,and ultimately jumpstarting thelagging economy. This economicfirestorm has taken its toll onSouth Dakotans and Americans ofall stripes. To start this new yearout on the right foot, Congressmust get to work stimulating theeconomy with pro-growth legisla-tion and diligently work to cut fed-eral spending, bureaucratic redtape, and burdensome governmentregulations. Achieving this wouldensure we move our country backon the right track.

The beginning of a new year isalways a good time for reflecting on

the past and planning for the fu-ture. I look forward to new oppor-tunities to serve South Dakota inthe coming year as we embark on anew Congress. Kimberley and Iwish all South Dakotans a happy,safe and healthy new year.

As we ring in the New Year, wereflect on the hope, promise andchallenges that 2013 will hold.Many individuals stop to considerthe personal improvements andchanges they can make to theirlives to ensure that 2013 holdseven more opportunity than 2012.

As we begin the New Year, Con-gress must try even harder to solveshort-term problems and achievelong-term goals that will keep

America secure and financially sta-ble.

The drought-stricken landscapeand the loss of crops, hay and pas-tures in 2012 presented numerouschallenges for many South Dakotafarmers and ranchers. Followingthe excessive spring moisture andrecord floods of 2011, no one wouldhave predicted that 2012 wouldbring extreme heat, a cripplingmoisture shortage, and the worstdrought in decades. Because theweather is so unpredictable, Con-gress must pursue fiscally respon-sible agriculture policies thatensure farmers and ranchers cancontinue to produce a reliable, safe,and inexpensive food supply withthe appropriate level of regulatory

oversight and at the least cost totaxpayers. As a member of the Sen-ate Agriculture Committee, I willcontinue to work with producersand stakeholders across the stateto secure South Dakotas and ournations agriculture industry and

The promise & challenge

of a new yearBy Senator John Thune

Letter to the EditorDear Editor,

On December 14th our nationwas shocked and saddened by thetragic deaths of 26 teachers and

students at the Sandy Hook Schoolin Newtown, Connecticut and thedeath of Nancy Lanza.

There has been a series of mul-tiple shooting around our countryand the President has pledged todo more to restrict guns.

But although guns were themeans to all these tragic deaths,the common cause of so many ofthese shootings has been untreatedmental illness. Mental illness is anissue that we don't like to talkabout, but it can happen to anyone.

As a pastor along the Interstate90, I often meet stranded travelerswho appear to have mental andemotional issues that need treat-ment. There are very few resourcesto help them. All we can do is givethem a few dollars for gas and a lit-

tle food and hope that they will findhelp somewhere. We know thatsomewhere someone is wonderingwhere they are and what has hap-

pened to them.Solomon writes in the Book of

Proverbs, Speak up for those whocannot speak for themselves. We,as a nation, need to revise and up-date the laws and the resourcesthat are available to people whohave mental illnesses and to theirfamilies. Jesus said that we shouldlove our neighbor as much as welove ourselves and this includesthose who are mentally ill andtheir families.

The Kougars traveled to NewUnderwood on January 5 to takeon the Tigers.

In scoring VanderMay put in 11,Christensen 6, Anderson 4 andBrenden Porch and Yuki Hotsumiadded 2 apiece.

The team was 4/14 from the line,however, it was the 42 turnoversthat made a difference in the finalscore.

These two games didnt farewell for the Kougars. Bottom line iswe didnt take care of the ball likewe should. Our turnovers have ledto easy points for our opponents.

Another weakness we look to workon is rebounding. We show that weare capable of hitting the boardswell early and then drop off as the

game progresses. Right now theseare two factors that need to be cor-rected or it will be hard to stayclose in any game, Reiman said.

I know Coach Moro and I haveseen a change in practice. Therehas been more energy and focusfrom a bigger portion of the team.The boys are starting to realizewhat kind of effort it takes in orderto compete at a higher level. This iswhat we have been looking for!Now, that the boys are playinghard we can improve on the skillsthat have been hurting us duringgames. I feel very optimistic thatwe will see some big changes as theseason progresses, the coachadded

Kenar ended the game with 27points. Logan Christensen put in10, Lane Pattersen connected on athree-pointer, Aage Ceplecha andWyatt Enders put in 2 apiece andChris Anderson added a free throw.

The Kougars were 10/14 fromthe line with VanderMay making

ting quarters together for the win,Reiman added.
