Janice HansenAs they had to notify the Countythe day following their decision itis too late to do it now. Karen In-ghram said the dust really hangson the road, especially with thetrucks. James Inghram wonderedhow much it would cost to chipseal a test area. He said somegravel really packs hard and itwould sure help cut down on thedust problem. He visited withLane Cammack about gravel attheir pit. Crushed gravel runsaround $3 a ton. Inghram sug-gested maybe running a test stripfrom the speed limit sign as far ashis property line, about 1/4 of amile, or somewhere in that vicin-ity. Council approved getting aquote from Cammacks for graveland hauling for a 1/8 mile testarea, from the speed limit signgoing north.

Council tabled a decision on re-imbursing lifeguards for their cer-tification fees until the July 16thmeeting.

Greg Fisher came before Coun-

cil in regard to his concern of thedrainage on his property by MattHelms. When we have a hard rainthe water seems to backup in theculverts from Pratts and Helms toSmiths. He has looked over theculverts at the school, Dueters,and along that street. Some of thestretch is fine, but one thing henoticed is that the one at Duetersis at a slight angle and thoughtmaybe that slowed down some ofthe flow. The culverts at Smithsseems to be partially collapsed.He would like the City to checkand see where the problem lies.

Mayor Haines suggested he gettogether with Smiths and see ifthey can work something out be-tween them. Fisher wonderedwhat the citys obligation is tomake sure that the water drainsproperly. Debbie said that, as faras she knew, the city is not obli-gated for anything as it is on pri-vate property. Council askedGreg to come to the next meetingwhen Attorney Bogue is presentso they can get the proper legalinformation.

Nuisance properties was thenext topic on their agenda. Coun-cil approved sending out letters tothree property owners requestingthey clean up their property orthe city will take necessary ac-tion.

Debbie wanted it known thatthey will be having karaoke at thebar on the 20th for AppreciationDay.

Council discussed havingsomeone at the entrances at Dur-kee Lake to collect donations for

the fireworks. Some memberswouldnt be available. No definitedecision.

Mayor Haines passed out com-mittee lists to members. He ap-pointed three members to eachcommittee and wants them to ap-point a chairman and meet eachmonth before the second meetingand present any information theygather so all members knowwhats happening.

Lifeguards arent the only oneswholl be saving lives this sum-mer. People like you and yourneighbor will be, tooby donat-ing blood.

According to Lori Liebman,United Blood Services Donor Re-cruitment Director, participation

drops off slightly at summerblood drives. At the same time,donations throughout the regiondrop in the summer because highschools and colleges, which areenthusiastic blood drive sponsors,are not in session. In this area, awhopping 10% percent of thelocal blood supply comes fromhigh school and college students.When those students are on sum-mer vacation, its up to the com-munity to make up the difference.

Its no secret, Liebman says.People simply are much busierthan they are at other times ofthe year. Although donors mighthave other things to do, patientscontinue to need blood. Nearly

mployer mandate delay sig-als larger problems for Oba-

maCareRecently, the Obama adminis-

ration announced its plans toelay implementation of one ofhe key components of the presi-ents signature health care legis-

ation, the employer mandate.his provision, which mandatesnancial penalties to businessesith more than 50 employees

hat fail to provide government-pproved health insurance to itsmployees, will be delayed from014 until 2015.

For more than three years,resident Obama has been assur-

ng the American people that pro-isions in ObamaCare such as themployer mandate will help lowerremium costs and allow Ameri-ans to keep the insurance theyreferred. Yet, businesses acrossouth Dakota and the rest of theountry have lamented that thegislation is stifling hiring deci-ons and taking away financial

resources that would normally beinvested in their business. Ac-cording to a Wells Fargo/GallupSmall Business Index survey,nearly 4 in 10 small businessowners are holding back hiringbecause of costs associated withimplementing ObamaCare.

Not only does the health carelaw mandate coverage for em-ployees, but the law also includesa provision that mandates em-ployers include certain govern-ment-determined essential bene-fits for any employer-sponsoredhealth plan, leaving almost noflexibility for an employer to de-termine what is best for his or heremployees. Many of these re-quired benefits increase the costof plans for employers and em-ployees alike.

According to a recent Galluppoll from June of 2013, 52 percentof respondents said they disap-prove of ObamaCare, up from 48percent last fall. The same poll re-vealed that for every one person

who believes they will be betteroff under ObamaCare, two believethey will be worse off. Oppositionto the presidents health law isgrowing, and will continue togrow, as Americans realize thatthe law is built upon brokenpromises that will result inhigher health care costs and moretaxes.

While I am pleased that busi-nesses will be shielded for an-other year from the onerous and

costly requirements associatedwith employer mandate, thedelay provides further evidencethat ObamaCare is not the solu-tion to our health care problemsand that this massive expansionof government is a step in thewrong direction. Rather than uni-laterally breaking a law that thepresident and his allies in Con-gress proposed, the administra-tion should have worked withCongress to devise a solution.

Its time to repeal this brokenlegislation and replace it withreal health care reforms that willgive Americans access to thehealth care they need, from thedoctor they choose, at a lowercost.

Drought concerns eased lastonth with widespread rainfalld near average temperaturesSouth Dakota. At this point,

e climate outlook for July re-ains uncertain."Copious amounts of rain fellthe northeastern counties inne," said Laura Edwards,

DSU Extension Climate Fieldecialist. "Some locations re-

rted 3 to 5 inches above aver-e rainfall for the month. That isarly double average for thoseeas between Marshall anduel counties."Edwards added that the south-stern corner of South Dakota

mains in moderate to severeought going in to the month ofly."Unfortunately, the southernack Hills and areas betweenll River and Todd counties con-ued to be much drier than av-

age in June," said Edwards.Climatologically, the summertraditionally a dry season forose counties. This, Edwards ex-ains means that furtherought recovery will be unlikely

the coming months."As temperatures increase, soes water demand by plants, an-als and people," she said.Edwards said according to theest monthly and seasonalought outlooks from the Cli-ate Prediction Center a droughtexpected to persist in this areaJuly and through September.

ne's temperatures have helpedop producers across the state,d Dennis Todey, SDSU State

imatologist."Temperatures in June wereghtly below average for the

month, but nothing like what thestate experienced earlier thisyear," Todey said. "Statewide,June temperature was just a de-gree or two below the long-termaverage. This created a nice envi-ronment for crop growth andrangeland recovery over the lastfew weeks."

By the end of June, corn fieldsappeared to be in good shape, and

soybean fields were improving.Field recover

A path of severe storms passedthrough eastern South Dakota onJune 21. Most reports indicatethat damaged fields were able tobe replanted after hail, highwinds and tornadoes affected theUS-212 corridor that afternoon.

Looking ahead to the month ofJuly, Todey said computer cli-mate models are scattered intheir predictions for the northernPlains.

"There are no clear signs of

wetter or drier than average con-ditions for the month," hesaid. "Extended periods of exces-sive heat don't seem to be forth-coming."

In the early part of the month,models predict that South Dakotawill be in the path of cooler anddrier air from Canada, as highpressure sits in the western U.S.

"This isn't to say we are en-

tirely cut off from moisture,"Todey said. "We will likely getsmall amounts of rainfall hereand there from more sporadicthunderstorms."

Edwards and Todey agree thatthe early part of July will bepleasant. The sunny skies andmoderately warm temperatureswill be a boon to gardens and rowcrops in the region, and will alsoprevent severe heat issues forlivestock.

r our country, our veteransouldnt have to wait months ond for the benefits they haverned and deserve.Recently, I worked with Senate

ppropriations Committee Chair-oman Barbara Mikulski to con-ne a roundtable to address thisportant issue. This meetingought together the leadershipom the Department of Veteransfairs, Department of Defense,ternal Revenue Service, and

e Social Security Administra-n. The backlog isnt just a fail-e by the VA. All of theseencies need to provide informa-n to the VA for a veterans

aim to be processed. Solving thecklog will require these agen-

es to coordinate their efforts andrect every resource available to this problem, including man-wer, technology, and training.At the roundtable, Defensecretary Chuck Hagel and VAcretary Eric Shinseki agreed tontinue meeting every 60 days toscuss efforts to end the backlog,d all agencies agreed to provide

a coordinated progress report tothe Appropriations Committeeevery two months. It will take areal commitment to working to-gether to tackle this problem, andI can assure you that we will holdtheir feet to the fire.

As Chairman of the VA Appro-priations Subcommittee, I haveincluded in the Fiscal Year 2014appropriations bill a ten-point ac-tion plan to address the claims

backlog. This involves a combina-tion of targeted investment, over-sight, and accountability. The billprovides funding for upgrades tocomputer hardware and targetedovertime for claims processors.While we must work expedi-tiously to end the backlog, wecannot sacrifice accuracy in theprocess. My bill increases train-ing of claims processors to ensurequality and accuracy and pro-vides Quality Review Teams to

conduct spot audits at VA Re-gional Offices. Additionally, Iveprovided the Board of Veterans

Appeals with funding to hire ad-ditional personnel to expedite theprocessing of appeals.

The backlog wasnt createdovernight and will take time toeliminate. Secretary Shinseki hascommitted to ending the backlogby 2015. While I appreciate thiscommitment, I understand that

for veterans who have alreadybeen waiting for months, 2015seems like a long way off. Wemust approach this issue with asense of urgency. All veteransshould be able to have theirclaims processed correctly and ina timely manner. The Senate isresponding to the needs of ourveterans. I will continue workingwith agency officials and my col-leagues on both sides of the aisleto make this a reality.

We were in the 80s and 90smost of last week. We had a littleain shower Sunday morning, butery little. Skies were overcast

most of the day this past Mondaynd finally, about 10:30, the windit and it wasnt long before theain, thunder and lightningtarted. According to the officialain guage at the airport we had48, talk in town was up to 1.

The Garden GaBy Karen Englehart, Master Gard

Gardening by the Clock?Are you one of those that have

an inner clock that wakes you upat 6:00 AM no matter what day itis? Well, all plants, flowers or veg-etables, grown indoors or out-

doors have that internal clockthat regulates their life cycleprocesses. It is sensitivity to thewaxing and waning of daylight asthe year progresses. This sensitiv-ity is known as photoperiodismwhich determines when theyfruit, when they bolt, or whenthey produce storage organs(think potatoes).

Takato Imaizumi, Universityof Washington biologist, is uncov-ering the mechanisms of the sea-sonal calendar in plants. Almostall living creatures, gardeners in-cluded, possess a powerful clock,known as the circadian clock,which controls many of lifesprocesses. Studies have shownthat plants and animals donthave to actually experience dayand night to have regularwake/sleep (animals) or stiffleaf/relaxed leaf (plants) cycles,prove that this clock is innate.Imaizumi explains that The cir-cadian clock is not constantly sen-sitive to light. It has a lightsensitive window at the end of theday that acts as a gating mecha-nism. This process is what deter-mines of a plant is a long-day or ashort-day plant. Some plants areconsidered day-neutral which arenot affected by photoperiodismbut by temperatures or maturity.

Food poisoning can spoil sum-mer picnics and cookouts but sim-ple precautions can prevent it,says a state health official.

Bacteria in food multiplyfaster whenever temperaturesrise above 40F, said Bill Chal-craft, health protection adminis-trator for the Department ofHealth. Thats why handling andstoring food safely is so importantduring hot weather.

In 2012, South Dakota re-ported 493 cases of the food-borne

illnesses E. coli, Salmonella, andCampylobacter. To date in 2013,157 cases of such illnesses havebeen reported. Food-borne ill-nesses often go unreported so theactual number of cases is likelyhigher.

Mild or severe diarrhea, fever,vomiting and abdominal pain arecommon symptoms of food-borneillness. Most people will recoverat home without medication butsome people may need fluids toprevent dehydration.

Sat. July 20, 9 AM4 PMAlso kids clothes and booksEverything is cheap, cheap,

cheap!!, Main Street

A nice rain Sunday gave every-ne here a break from the hay-eld. I dumped .84 hundredthsut of the rain gauge, and for oncehavent heard of anyone getting

more moisture than we did! Theain was spotty, Jim Bingaman

aid he didnt get any at his placeoutheast of us and only had a lit-e shower west of his buildings.unday afternoon, Iver Heier wasaying along the highway justest of Prairie City, so they didntet much there either.

My fathers cousin, Lesterlomberg, took some of us down

o the Slim Buttes to revisit somed family homesteads. Lestersaughter Bonnie and Rick Rootecently came from Californiand bought a house north of

Whitewood. Lesters son, Wadend Janet Blomberg, were visit-ng from Trabuco, California, soe asked Lester and Arlene to

how us where our ancestors usedo live.

Rick had never been to JBock and Deb Wammen gave usermission to follow the trail tohe site where the Calvary wasationed during the Indian scare

ack in 1890. We found therossed sword insignia and sol-iers names that were carvednto the rock. We also found theames of several old neighborshat grew up around here. Donaker and Leah (Vroman)hillips went to school with my

ather at the old Rock Ranchchool that my great grandfatherarl Hallan built just north oflair Hamiltons ranch and theirames are carved in the stone not

ar from where Lester and hismother, Bessie (Hallan) Blombergarved their names many yearsgo.

From JB Rock we traveled easto Lynn and Connie Weishaarsasture. Lynn and Harlan Sielerere working near the gate into

he pasture so we were able toalk with them. Harlan knewhere the sites were that we wereoking for. He helped us find theomestead of Hans Dvergsten, aousin of our great grandmother,aroline (Kjos) Hallan, and from

here Harlan guided us to wherehe sod house of our great grand-arents, Carl and Caroline Hal-

lan once stood.We found the smokehouse

Grandpa Carl built into a nearbyhillside and the bulb-shaped rockcistern that he hauled water tofrom a nearby live creek. An oldstove was covering the cistern

and when Wade and I dragged itoff to examine Grandpas handi-work, we discovered a live porcu-pine had settled underneath it.Since none of us had a gun, weput the stove back over the irri-tated pin cushion and left italone!

Both my grandfather ClemWhite and my grandmotherManda (Hallan) White home-steaded just east of Mandas par-ents house around Flat TopButte, where my father, BryceWhite, and his sisters, ClaireJohn and Mary Haggart wereborn. Their homesteads are inHotchkisss pasture, but we ranout of time so we didnt ventureout that far. I want to thank our

wonderful neighbors for letting usroam through their pastures insearch of our history. We live inthe greatest place on earth!

The men spent IndependenceDay in the hayfield while Caseyskids went to Gardner Lake and Idrove to Belle Fourche for the pa-rade. Walt Kolb hauled methrough the parade in his classic1923 Oldsmobile while it rainedon our parade! We were near thebeginning of the parade so Waltparked under the canopy over thepumps at a gas station to watchthe rest of the parade in relativecomfort.

After the parade I drove toWhitewood for lunch with Rickand Bonnie Root at their newhouse. Lester and Arlene werethere, along with Wade and JanetBlomberg and Koreen and Chuck

Anderson. Most of the Blombergswent to the Roundup rodeo thatevening, but since it hadnt rainedat home I skipped the rodeo andheaded back to the ranch to seehow the haying was progressing.

Louise Jenson had a messageon my answering machine when Igot home with the sad news thatour good friend, Mary Lou (Reitz)Mollman had passed away thenight before. Mary Lou and her

family were at Bowman HaleyDam to watch the fireworksWednesday evening when shesuffered an apparent heart at-tack. Her funeral will be Tuesdayin Bowman with burial to followin the Vessey Cemetery. MaryLou was a wonderful, caringwoman and she will be sorelymissed.

Sen. Maher was also in theBelle Fourche parade and told usthat his grandpa Maher diedJune 30th in Lemmon. Servicesfor Joseph "Mickey" Maher, age85, were held Saturday, in Mor-ristown. Mickey is survived by hisDonna of 62 years, 12 children, 42grandchildren; 33 great-grand-children.

Dustin DeFord, 24, fromEkalaka, and 18 other firefightersdied June 30th fighting fire onthe Yarnell fire near Prescott,

AZ. Funeral services for Dustinwill be Saturday at the CarterCounty High School in Ekalakawith burial in the BeaverlodgeCemetery. This was the biggestloss of firemen since the 9/11 at-tack on the World Trade Center.Our hearts go out to these fami-lies.

This wasnt a task we took

lightly. Starting months ago, webegan practices at 7AM Tuesdayand Thursday mornings to workon our fundamentals, such as hit-ting, grounding, throwing andpitching. It was also a great op-portunity for all of us to get toknow one another and to learnhow to work together as a team.

South Dakota Farmers Unionas joined a large coalition of or-anizations and companies fromross the country to push for

assage of a long-term farm billter the U.S. House recentlyiled to pass the legislation.

armers Union joined a total of32 agriculture, conservation,ral development, finance,restry, energy and crop insur-nce companies and organiza-ons in sending a letter today topeaker of the House Johnoehner calling for the passage offive-year farm bill before therrent bill expires Sept. 30.South Dakotas farmers andnchers need the business cer-inty that the farm bill pro-des, said South Dakotaarmers Union President Dougombke. From a proper safetyet for agricultural producers toutrition, rural development, con-

servation and energy, the farmbill covers the most vital issuesfor producers and rural communi-ties in South Dakota. Its such animportant piece of legislation forthe future of rural America, andweve joined with hundreds of

other organizations and individu-als to urge Speaker Boehner andother members of the House toget the bill passed.

The letter strongly urgesSpeaker Boehner to bring thefarm bill back to the floor as soonas possible. It goes on to say thatthis important legislation sup-ports our nations farmers, ranch-ers, forest owners, food security,natural resources and wildlifehabitats, rural communities, andthe 16 million Americans whose

jobs directly depend on the agri-culture industry.

The U.S. Senate passed its ver-

sion of a farm bill in 2012 andagain in 2013. The House Agricul-ture Committee also passed farmbills in 2012 and 2013, but the2012 farm bill was never broughtto the House floor for a vote andwas allowed to expire before an

extension agreement wasreached, prolonging the 2008farm bill until Sept. 30, 2013. TheU.S. House floor vote on June 20,2013, failed with 195 voting yesand 234 voting no. The future ofthe farm bill remains uncertain.

Historically the farm bill hasgarnered bipartisan support, andits vital at this critical time aswere nearing the expiration ofthe 2008 farm bill extension inSeptember that our lawmakers inWashington put aside politicalbickering, work together andcome together to do whats rightfor rural America, Sombke said.

When Leafy Spurge's yellowflowers begin to bloom, landown-ers can evaluate the effectivenessof their control program, saysPaul Johnson, SDSU Extension

Agronomy Field Specialist."If you have been doing a good

job at control in the past, it maybe a little slower and, if you havebeen doing a really good job, theremay even be fewer plants outthere than last year," Johnsonsaid.

He adds that the only way toget spurge under control is to beon it every year and get the rootreserves depleted so the plantswill start to die.

"A cold winter helps to take outthe spurge when the root reserveshave been depleted," Johnsonsaid. "As soon as the yellow flow-ers are out it is time to startspraying."

Johnson says the control win-

dow is only about one month be-fore there will be viable seed inthe plant.

"If you also have thistles inwith the spurge you may want towait a little until thistles are atbud to make sure you get goodcoverage and control on both ofthe weeds," he said.

But again, Johnson says becareful not to wait too long.
