United Blood Services will beholding a blood drive in Faith onThursday, March 7th at St.Josephs Fellowship Hall andurges anyone who does not have

the flu or flu-like symptoms to do-nate blood and help stock theshelves this season. The drive isbeing sponsored by the FHS Stu-dent Council.

The flu bug has been busy thisyear and has forced many blooddonors to cancel their appoint-ments. But patients in the hospi-tal continue to need blood so weencourage those who are healthyand without flu symptoms tomake an appointment to give,said Corri Bliese, Rapid CityCommunity Center Manager ofUnited Blood Serives.

The controversial Sentinelll which would allow local

chool boards to put armeduards inside schools passed outf the Senate State Affairs Com-ittee last week.About 60 people were on hand

t the meeting, despite snow nd limited travel--in much of the

ate. Time constraints, however,mited the number of people tes-fying, as well as the length of

heir comments.The vote to send HB1087 to

he Senate floor as amended was4. This surprised many ob-

ervers who had expected theote to swing the other way.

The amendment removed anddition made by the House thatlowed school boards to discuss

nd make a decision in executiveession to implement a sentinelrogram.

Sen. Mark Johnston, R-Siouxalls, noted that such actionould conflict with the existing

pen meeting statutes.Sen. Craig Tieszen, R-Rapid

ity, agreed, noting that it muste a publicly made decision, butfter that details could be han-led in executive session as a per-onnel matter.

The lines were still drawn inhe testimony between those whoupported the bill as necessary foracher and student safety, and

hose who feared the presence of

guns would most certainly end inaccidental shootings and unin-tended deaths of those who weremeant to be protected.

Tieszen recounted instancesfrom the 1990s when he was aRapid City police commander inwhich an armed student threat-ened fellow students. Of 13

threats in Rapid City followingthe Columbine school shooting in1999, Tieszen said, two were cred-ible and could have caused harmif not stopped

So, if we think we are immunein South Dakota, Tieszen said,think again.

Rep. Scott Craig, R-Rapid City,refuted the assumption that thisbill was in response to the SandyHook Elementary School shootingrecently. He said he had pre-sented his concept to the Legisla-tive Research Council inDecember and the shootings tookplace two weeks later.

That, he said, confirmed therightness of this bill. Since then,he said, there have been four

more incidents seen nationally.Compelling opposition came

from New Underwood School Su-perintendent Jeff Marlette, whois a retired Brigadier Generalwho saw combat.

Have we now reached a placethat our state has gotten so bad,so unsafe, Marlette asked, whereteachers need to carry guns? He

outlined the dangers of peripheraldamage that even trained law en-forcement can inflict when tryingto bring down a gunman.

Rob Monson, State Associationof School Administrators, pre-sented an amendment that wouldhave changed the bills intent toan interim study topic.

Tieszen later called the so-called hog house of the bill anambush, noting he had seen theamendment for exactly 32 min-utes during the meeting. Hecalled the attempt intensely dis-respectful.

That amendment was de-feated.

Sen. Larry Lucas, D-Mission,said the sentinel bill was an im-portant issue, in fact, this is THEissue of the 2013 session. Headded, what we have in place isworking, noting that boardscould already hire guards.

Chairman Larry Rhoden, R-Union Center, said the bills in-tent has been blown out ofproportion. He said it would allow

the states 152 school districts todecide whether to participate in asentinel program.

Rhoden called the programone small step in the right direc-tion.

The bill now travels to the Sen-ate floor for final legislative con-sideration.

As I stood with my hands inhot soapy water I was reflectingon the recent events at DurkeeLake. Four of our young mendrove a pick up onto the ice Mon-day night never thinking that

they would fall through into thecold, icy water. They all got out ofthe vehicle and walked to safety.

A story such as this makes youwonder how many guardian an-gels were helping them along.Then it occurred to me thatmaybe these boys had one specialwhite haired angel Englishteacher looking out for them andputting in a good word with God.I believe the hand of the Almightyhelps so many of us but we put itdown to good luck. What of thetwo little girls in Washingtonstate whose mother was killed ina car wreck. The four year oldtook care of her two year old sis-ter and they were both savedwhen a motorist stopped to look

at the damaged tree. How manyof us, me included, forget to thankGod for the many blessings Hesends us and the many we have?Warm homes, full bellies, cleanwater, safe communities, wonder-ful neighbors are all things we arethankful for. I hope that thosefour boys know how special theyare to all of us. If we had lostthem, it would have affected theentire town, school, communityand county. All of our children arespecial. In this area when onefamily suffers a loss we all suffer.Boys, we are so very, very happyyou are all fine. I hope each of youtook a moment to say Thank youGod.

We love you Dad!

Greetings from Pierre. As Iwrite this we are entering ourighth week of a nine week ses-ion so things are starting to allome together and the commit-ees will finish up their work this

week and then the discussion will

e on the budget and how the ex-ess revenues will be spent.

Wednesday of this past weekwas crossover day the day bywhich all bills had to be passed byheir house of origin. Bills nowave until March 5th to pass thend body. There are 96 bills thatre still active in the House out ofhe 242 that were originally filedn the Senate. There are 80 activeills in the Senate out of 250 that

were originally filed in the House.In the final two weeks of ses-

ion, we will be focused on imple-menting fiscal responsibility to

alance our state budget withoutaising your taxes. We will also beocused on funding for educationstablishing a new economic de-

elopment bill to create incen-ves for job creation.As we review the revenue pro-

ections that will impact our stateudget we must consider the im-acts of the looming sequestra-on deadline for the federalovernment of March 1. The fed-ral governments irresponsiblepending has created a crisis forur nation and there will likely besignificant impact on our state

udget resulting from loss of fed-ral funding.

Sequestration is the term

that refers to automatic reductionto federal government spendingfor a given fiscal year. UnlessCongress and the President agreeon a deficit-reduction package byMarch 1, many federal programswill see across the board spending

reductions. Social Security, Med-icaid and Medicare will be mostlyexempt. The cuts will take effectover the next 10 years and totalabout $1.2 trillion. Currently,they will apply equally to defenseand non-defense spending.

Senator Thune met with Re-publican legislators this week andexpressed serious doubt that Con-gress will act to avoid the seques-tration deadline of March 1st.Thune expressed caution and fis-cal responsibility as we preparethe state budget, realizing thatsignificant federal cuts as a resultof sequestration are very realistic.

HB 1161 is an Act to establishand provide certain incentives forprojects that create new jobs, pro-

mote economic activity, and to es-tablish the rural economicdevelopment partnership pro-gram. The bill will help promoteexpansion of existing SD busi-nesses and provide incentives fornew businesses that will create

jobs. The bill would require localcontrol and approval by munici-palities decisions which arereferable by a vote of the people.If municipalities are willing todedicate a portion of their 2%sales tax for economic develop-ment incentives, it would allow

the state to match the funding forapproved projects. Rural projectswould also qualify and applica-tions would go directly to theState Board of Economic Develop-ment for approval.

The Senate and House Health& Human Services Committeesheld a joint meeting on February20th to listen to public input inregard to Medicaid reform. The

joint committee listened to publictestimony for over 2 hours and ef-forts to facilitate more public dis-cussion will be ongoing. Currentspending levels are not sustain-able and reforms are necessary tokeep the program viable for fu-ture generations.

SB 45 passed the House onFebruary 21 and will now go tothe Governor for final approval.The bill will allow citizens toapply for renewal of their driverslicense by mail or internet once inany ten year period. This bill willmake government more efficientand reduce waiting periods for li-cense renewal. It is a great exam-ple of how we are working tomake government work better forthe people.

On Thursday this past week,all of the oil and gas bills madethe final hurdle and are now sit-ting on the Governors desk.These bills include House Bill1001, 1002, 1003, 1004 and 1006.

HB 1001 will require mineraldevelopers to give notice to sur-face owners before entering theland.

HB 1002 will provide for thecreation of a trust account for un-locatable mineral interest own-ers.

HB 1003 will revise the pur-pose of the agriculture mediationprogram, to include oil and gasmediation.

HB 1004 will award tripledamages in certain surface depre-

dation cases.HB 1006 will revise the laws

relating to the termination of cer-tain mineral interests.

The final two weeks of Sessionwill be the busiest yet and we willcontinue working hard to makeour state an even better place tolive, work and raise a family.

Sen. Ryan MahersLegislative Report

Q: Can you explain the betterhealth insurance choices comingthis October 2013 that Ive heardcalled the Health Insurance Mar-ketplace? Is this a part of the Af-fordable Care Act or what hasbeen called Health Care Reform?

A: When key parts of thehealth care law (the Affordable

Care Act) take effect, therell be anew way to buy health insurancefor yourself, your family or yoursmall business: the Health Insur-ance Marketplace. Whetheryoure uninsured or just want tosee whats available, the Market-place offers more choice, moretransparency, and more controlover your health insurance op-tions.

To clarify, this health insur-ance is not for those who haveMedicare, as Medicare beneficiar-ies already have health insur-ance. This is for thoseindividuals, families and smallbusinesses who do not havehealth insurance through an em-ployer or as an employer, or they

cannot get health insurance ontheir own that fits their budget,and offers a comprehensive set ofhealth insurance benefits.

The Marketplace is designed tohelp you find health insurancethat fits your budget, with lesshassle. No matter where you live,youll be able to buy insurancefrom qualified private healthplans that cover a comprehensiveset of benefits, including doctorvisits, preventive care, hospitalvisits and prescriptions. Newlaws mean plans must treat youfairly and cant deny you coveragebecause of pre-existing or chronicconditions.

One application, one time, andyou and your family can exploreevery qualified health insuranceplan in your area. Youll be ableto take control with better infor-mation to help you choose, includ-ing details about benefits andprice presented in clear languageyou can understand, so you knowwhat your premium, deductibles,

The 2013 legislative session iswinding down with two weeks re-maining to finish the peoplesbusiness. Wednesday was cross-over day where all bills had to bedealt with in the house of origin.The Senate got through the last oftheir bills earlier than the House,but we finished before 11:00 thatnight and didnt have to cover theclock like earlier legislatures hadto in order to f inish their work.

On Thursday our committeesworked on Senate bills. These arethe bills we passed out of House

Ag:*SB 1 to revise the provisions

regarding plugging and perform-ance bonds for oil and gas wellsand to repeal the supplementalrestoration bond requirementwas amended in committee to re-duce the bond for wells at or lessthan fifty-five hundred feet indepth to ten thousand dollars perwell drilled or a thirty thousand

dollar blanket and to reduce thebond for wells more than fifty-fivehundred feet in depth to fiftythousand dollars per well drilled,or one hundred thousand dollarsblanket. After testimony fromsome of the small gas explorationfolks, SB 1 passed out of commit-tee 13 to 0.

*SB 17 to make an appropria-

tion from the coordinated naturalresources conservation fund tothe State Conservation Commis-sion also passed with no opposi-tion.

*Sen. Vehle and I brought SB

205 to put wolves on the predatorlist in South Dakota. Right nowwolves are on the endangeredspecies list in western SouthDakota. The western Dakotas arepart of the Rocky Mountain re-gion and wolves have been takenoff the endangered species list inall the other states in the region,leaving western North and SouthDakota as isolated territorywhere wolves are protected byfederal law. The eastern Dakotasare part of the Great Lakes regionwhere wolves are not consideredendangered.

GF&P Sec. Vonk suggestedthis legislation to me last yearafter USFW told him that wolveswere going to be removed from

the endangered species list in2012 and Game Fish and Parkstestified in favor of SB 205. Mak-ing mountain lions game animalsdidnt work out so well. Theselarge predators have drasticallydecreased the number of elk anddeer available for hunters. I dontthink GF&P wanted to make thesame mistake with wolves and sofar all the legislators have agreed.

House Local Government com-mittee passed two bills:

*SB 121 repealed the Commis-sion on Intergovernmental Coop-eration which hasnt acted forthirty years.

*SB 166 increases the numberof years for a concealed weaponpermit from four years to five

years to make it consistent withthe background checks when youbuy a firearm.

HB 1087, the School Sentinelbill, narrowly passed out of Sen-ate State Affairs with a 5 to 4vote. HB 1087 would allow localschool boards to decide if theywanted to allow school employeesto carry concealed weapons onschool premises to protect the stu-dents and themselves. These vol-unteers would receive the samefirearms training as law enforce-ment officers and would certainlymake our isolated school districtsin the area safer.

These are some of the bills thatwent through the House thisweek:

*HB 1089 requiring statewidelivestock ownership inspectionwas killed.

*SB 13 to revise provisions re-lating to the administration ofmineral rights on and under re-search parks.

*SB 41 revising provisions re-

Legislative UpdateRep. Betty Olson

It wasnt quite midnight oilhat was burning Feb. 20 at thetate Capitol in Pierre, but it mayave felt that way to legislatorsying to beat a deadline.

That day, this years 26th inhe session, the rule is that a billr joint resolution must be out ofs house of origin.Both sides were busy address-

ng billseither killing or passinghemup until around 10 p.m.he Senate finished just before

hat hour, and the House wentast by about 15 minutes.All in all, about 90 bills passed

hrough their hands that day.By the close of the week, legis-

tors had just two weeks left ofhe regular run of the session.

Democratic leader Bernie Hun-off, Yankton, noted during aews conference on Friday thathile two weeks did not appear toe a long time, much could still be

ccomplished.Its like a nuclear half-life,

unhoff said.

Senators dealt with in excessof 45 bills, while House membersconsidered that same number.

Legislative history buffs re-member times in the past when

rules were suspended so that de-bate could go on past the mid-night deadline.

Committee and legislativeagendas were somewhat lighterthe rest of the week, with the Fri-day House and Senate calendarsdeferred after less than an hourin session, so that members couldbe on their way home for theweekend.

Legislators expect to be backworking Monday through Thurs-day this week, and Mondaythrough Friday next week. Thelatter week traditionally dealswith the final budget.

Then, after a two-week recess,legislators will return to the capi-tol on Monday, March 25, for the

final day. That is the day re-served to deal with any vetoes thegovernor may have made.

Todays farmers and ranchersare the most productive in thehistory of our nation. By embrac-ing innovation, farmers of many

crops are able to produce morethan ever today. Meanwhile, ourproducers, foresters and rurallandowners are undertaking mod-ern conservation practices thathelp them achieve three to fivetimes the benefits of older tech-niques.

At USDA, were working tosupport Americas farmers andranchers in making the next bigadvances in agriculture and con-servation.

First and foremost, we willcontinue to strengthen agricul-tural research. In his State of theUnion Address, President Obamadiscussed a critical need to investin the best ideas. We know thatinvesting in agricultural research

helps the economy and strength-ens agriculture. Every dollar in-vested in this research generates$20 in economic benefits for our

nation, while giving our farmersand ranchers new tools to miti-gate risk and increase production.

We also intend to furtherstrengthen conservation effortswhile helping farmers adapt to achanging climate. Over the com-ing year, USDA will build up ad-ditional technical assistance andprovide new tools to help produc-ers mitigate the effects of extremeweather patterns. Because theimpacts of climate change willvary across the country, well ex-plore ways to organize our effortsby region with an aim to provideappropriate help for folks in everypart of the country.

February 27, 2013 The Faith Independent Pa

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-ck today announced at the Na-

onal Pheasant Fest and Quailassic that the U.S. DepartmentAgriculture (USDA) will con-

uct a four-week general sign-upr the Conservation Reserve Pro-am (CRP), beginning May 20

nd ending on June 14. CRP has27-year legacy of protecting theations natural resourcesrough voluntary participation,hile providing significant eco-mic and environmental bene-s to rural communities acrosse United States. Under Secre-ry Vilsacks leadership, USDA

as enrolled 11.7 million acres inrious CRP efforts.Since the 1980s, the CRP pro-am has established itself as anchmark in voluntary conser-tion efforts, providing Ameri-n producers with assets to

ddress our most critical resource

sues, said Vilsack. Last year,uring one of the worst droughtsgenerations, the CRP proved

tal in protecting our most envi-nmentally sensitive lands fromosion. Emergency haying andazing on CRP lands also sup-ied critical feed and forage forvestock producers due to theought. And the program contin-s to bring substantial returnsrural areas, attracting recre-

ion and tourism dollars intocal economies while sustainingatural and wildlife habitat forture generations.Additional sign-ups for contin-us CRP programssuch asighly Erodible Land Initiative

nd Initiative to Restore Grass-

nds, Wetlands and Wildlifell be announced in spring 2013.

urrently, about 27 million acrese enrolled in CRP, which is aluntary program available toricultural producers to helpem safeguard environmentallynsitive land. Producers enrolledCRP plant long-term, resource-nserving covers to improve the

uality of water, control soil ero-on and enhance wildlife habitat.ontracts on 3.3 million acres ofRP are set to expire on Sept. 30,13. Producers with expiringntracts or producers with envi-nmentally sensitive land arecouraged to evaluate their op-

ons under CRP.Producers that are accepted ine sign-up can receive cost-sharesistance to plant long-term, re-urce-conserving covers and re-ive an annual rental paymentr the length of the contract (10- years). Producers also are en-uraged to look into CRPs otherrollment opportunities offered a continuous, non-competitive,

gn-up basis and that often pro-de additional financial assis-nce. Continuous sign-up datesll be announced at a later date.

ver the past 27 years, farmers,nchers, conservationists,

unters, fishermen and other out-

door enthusiasts have made CRPone of the largest and most impor-tant USDA efforts. CRP contin-ues to make major contributionsto national efforts to improvewater and air quality, and to pre-vent soil erosion by protecting themost sensitive areas includingthose prone to flash flooding andrunoff. CRP has also helped in-crease populations of pheasants,quail, ducks, and rare species,like the sage grouse, the lesserprairie chicken, and other grass-land birds. Highlights of CRP in-clude:

CRP has restored more thantwo million acres of wetlands andtwo million acres of riparianbuffers;

Each year, CRP keeps morethan 600 million pounds of nitro-gen and more than 100 millionpounds of phosphorous from flow-ing into our nations streams,

rivers, and lakes.CRP provides $1.8 billion an-nually to landownersdollarsthat make their way into localeconomies, supporting small busi-nesses and creating jobs; and

CRP is the largest privatelands carbon sequestration pro-gram in the country. By placingvulnerable cropland into conser-vation, CRP sequesters carbon inplants and soil, and reduces bothfuel and fertilizer usage. In 2012,CRP resulted in carbon seques-tration equal to taking about ninemillion cars off the road.

The Obama Administration isleading a host of federal agenciesin the Americas Great Outdoorsinitiative to develop a 21st cen-

tury conservation agenda and re-connect Americans to theoutdoors. At the same time,USDA continues to enroll arecord number of acres of privateworking lands in conservationprograms, working with morethan 500,000 farmers and ranch-ers to implement conservationpractices that clean the air webreathe, filter the water we drink,and prevent soil erosion. Since2009, USDA has enrolled morethan 50 million acres into theConservation Stewardship Pro-gram to incentivize the most pro-ductive, beneficial conservationpractices.

USDA announces 45th

general sign-up for the

Conservation Reserve ProgramBillings, Mont. R-CALF USA

joined with other groups and in-dividuals to counter the HumaneSociety of the United States'(HSUS') efforts to block the hu-mane slaughter of unwanted and

unusable horses at a New Mexicoslaughtering facility.

Led by the InternationalEquine Business Association(IEBA), R-CALF USA, the SouthDakota Stockgrowers Association(SDSGA), the New Mexico CattleGrowers' Association (NMCGA),and several individuals filed amotion to intervene in a lawsuitinitially filed by Valley Meat,LLC (Valley Meat), against theU.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA). Valley Meat alleges thatUSDA is wrongfully refusing toprovide final inspection servicesfor horse slaughter at ValleyMeat's New Mexico facility nowthat Congress has fully restoredfunding for horse slaughter in-spection.

The HSUS previously filed amotion to intervene in the lawsuitas well as a motion to dismiss inits effort to block horse slaughter

in the United States. The HSUSalso is seeking to require thatUSDA conduct an environmentalassessment and/or an environ-mental impact statement for eachdecision to grant slaughter in-

spection, a requirement R-CALFUSA and the other potential in-terveners believe would result indevastating impacts to the entiremeat industry, including the cat-tle industry.

An affidavit filed by R-CALFUSA CEO Bill Bullard in supportof his group's intervention ex-plains that even though horseslaughter was temporarily sus-pended in the United States, do-mestic horses continue to beslaughtered in foreign countries.He stated that these horses arebeing transported over extremelylong distances and then slaugh-tered in Mexican slaughteringplants that do not follow the hu-mane slaughtering practices re-quired by the USDA.

"USDA urges poten-tial claimants to contact theClaims Administrator for infor-mation and mail their claim pack-ages on or before March 25,
