States infant mortality rate targeted

by task force

By Elizabeth Sam GroszCommunity News Service

Results of a task force on infantmortality chaired by SouthDakotas First Lady Linda Dau-gaard were shared with a legisla-tive committee.

The First Lady reported thatsince 2000, 877 South Dakota in-fants died before their first birth-day, or an average of 80 deaths peryear.

Over the past 50 years, she said,infant mortality had been decreas-ing, but in the 10 years between2000 and 2010 it started to slowlyincrease, to an average of sevendeaths per 1,000 South Dakota livebirths. This was higher, she said,than neighboring states: NorthDakota had an average of 5.9

deaths; Minnesota, 5.0; Iowa, 5.2;Nebraska, 5.9; and Montana, 6.0.

The national average is 6.8, shesaid, and South Dakota ranks 29thhighest in the nation.

Her husband, Gov. Dennis Dau-gaard, had announced in his 2011State of the State address his in-tention to form a task force to workon ways to lower that rate, andthat he intended to have his wifechair the group.

More troubling is that AmericanIndian infant mortality rate in thestate is twice as high as white ba-bies, she said, and the highest inthe United States among Native

Americans.South Dakota also has the high-

est rate of mothers who smokeduring pregnancy.

The task force, made up of someof the states leading health prac-titioners, reported Daugaard, hadissued its report recently with fiverecommendations.

They include improved access toearly, comprehensive prenatalcare; promotion of safe sleep prac-tices for babies; development ofcommunity support systems formothers; statewide education cam-paigns; and resources for medicalprofessionals.

The Department of Health andHuman Services already is puttingsome of the suggestions into prac-tice. Secretary DoneenHollingsworth also testified at thehearing, describing action that isbeing taken.

American Indian infant mortal-ity rate is twice as high as white inSouth Dakota, said Daugaard,and the highest in the UnitedStates. South Dakota also has thehighest rank of mothers smokingduring pregnancy, she said, or68.5 percent of those receiving pre-natal care.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome,or SIDS, is high in South Dakota,or 14 percent compared to 8 per-cent nationwide, said Daugaard.But it is the second leading causeof death in the state. The first, shesaid, is congenital malformation.

Daugaard said the statewide

push will include improving accessto prenatal care, especially in ruralareas. The second point in the pro-gram is the promotion of safe sleeppractices for infants, she said.

A Cribs for Kids program isbeing established, to ensure thatbabies sleep by themselves. It in-cludes several items sent homewith the new parents, including aplay n pack sheet, halo sleep sackand a pacifier.

I would like to raise safe sleepto the same level as the car seat,said Daugaard, adding parentstoday wouldnt leave the hospitalwithout a car seat. Infants need tosleep alone in their own beds, ontheir back and no exposure to cig-arette smoke, she said, and atroom temperature.

I am confident our recommen-dations can make a difference,said Daugaard.

by Del BartelsA revolutionary, satellite-based

Automatic Meter Reading systemis being installed by West River/Lyman-Jones Rural Water Sys-tems Inc.

Working with InformationalData Technologies out of Water-town, WR/L-J is the first in theworld to use an AMR system inwhich the meter data is transmit-ted and received through satellitetechnology. Currently, 700 of the

field units have been installed atthe water meter pits of individualcustomers. The rest of the 3,000units should be installed before theend of this summer.

Were pretty proud that we arethe first to be doing this, saidWR/L-J Manager Jake Fitzgerald.The board and staff are really ex-cited. This system is the first waterutility in the world to install an

AMR system using satellite tech-nology.

Each unit is only 15.5 inchestall, less than 6.4 inches at its wideend, weighs only 2.5 pounds, andhas a battery with a life ex-pectancy of 10 years. Each unitwill send one reading per day.

After all the units are installed,WR/L-J will move away from itscurrent self-read, self-bill system.This unit simply sends a dailymeter reading from the rural userlocation to WR/L-Js main office inMurdo.

Its already shown its useful-ness, said Fitzgerald. Some unitshave already been installed in therural service area north of Mid-land. Earlier last week, because ofone of those units, the WR/L-Jstaff noticed more water usagethan usual. Rather than jumpinginto a work truck to go look for a

West River/Lyman-Jones firstfor satellite meter reading

possible water leak, the staffchecked the computer and noticedone of their customers had usedover 10,000 gallons in a 24-hourperiod. They identified the prob-lem, as well as the water user. Theindividuals potable water wasbackfeeding into his old well. The

problem would not have been iden-tified as quickly without the dailymeter reading. The newly in-stalled unit saved us fuel and man-hours, and it also prevented thewater user from having a verylarge bill, said Fitzgerald.

We still need our users to usethe self-read, self-bill system untilall of these are installed, saidFitzgerald. These units will notprevent leaks, its not a leak pre-venter. Its a tool that will hope-

fully help us identify problemsmore quickly. The meters will al-ways be there.

Overall, its a project thatmoves us in a positive direction.Every night this (unit) wakes upand sends us a signal. There willbe alarm threshold capabilities,and, again, those will probably notbe entirely set in until the end ofsummer, said Fitzgerald. It willhelp identify and manage pipelineleaks and better promote waterconservation and eventually it willmodernize our billing system

Fitzgerald said that IDTs An-gelo Polsinelli was made aware ofthe problem water utilities had inreading their meters in such re-mote locations. Through contactsmade with WR/L-J in a studybeing conducted about using radio-based meter reading, he andWR/L-J have been working on thissatellite-based system. The satel-lite company that IDT works withis the largest in the world. We feelthe savings are going to offset mostof the cost, and it will really im-prove the quality of service to ourmembers, said Fitzgerald said. Ithink we underestimated it a cou-ple years ago. It is really takingoff.

As homesteaders took rootsaround the Wall area, the farmerswho planted crops also rooted andgrew. Farming and ranching werethe main occupations of the home-steaders. Ranchers drove their cat-tle to the train yards to be shippedand sold and farmers hauled theircrops to the local elevator to sell.

Each farming communities orlocal town had one or more smallgrain elevators that would servethe local growers. According to

Wikipedia encyclopedia, The clas-sic grain elevator was constructedwith wooden cribbing and had nineor more larger square or rectangu-lar bins arranged in 3 x 3 or 3 x 4 or4 x 4 or more patterns. Woodencribbed elevators usually had adriveway with truck scale and of-fice on one side, a rail line on theother side and additional grainstorage annex bins on either side.

This was also typical of the Tri-State elevator in Wall that wasconstructed in 1910 and managedby John Harnden, Joe Wilson, EarlJohnson, Lynden Bansey, HansHamann, Edward Hanewinckeland Dwight Norman.

In 1930, the farmers aroundWall organized a company andbuilt an additional elevator, whichwas called the Milling Companyand managed by Ralph Gilling.Dave Sims, Oscar Mills and the

Teuber Brothers were the first offi-cers to sit on the board of the ele-vator.

E. C. and Vivian Smoot pur-chased the Farmers Elevator in1931. The name was then changedto the Wall Elevator Company.

E.C. and his family lived in theliving quarters of the elevator.E.C.s son, John Smoot, recalls thatthe living quarters had two bed-rooms and was very noisy, since anold gas engine sat by the edge ofthe house. John said; his motherwent about nuts due to all of thedust.

John recalled, Charlie Harnischwho as John said was a steadyhorseman who used an old woodenwagon to haul grain into the mill.Farmers would also transport theirgrain by old trucks.

John was kept busy by his fathersince there was always plenty ofwork to do in the elevator. E.C.would buy wool; stock feed for cat-tle and chickens and also sold coaland wood for families to heat theirhomes with.

John Harnden had been themanager until E.C. took over theoperations. The unusually wet pe-riod, which encouraged increasedsettlement and cultivation in theGreat Plains, ended in 1930.

When E.C. took over the elevatorin 1931 this was the year in whichan extended and severe droughtbegan which caused crops to fail,leaving the plowed fields exposed towind erosion. The fine soil of theGreat Plains was easily eroded andcarried east by strong continentalwinds. Farmers had a completecrop failure.

In 1932, times seemed a littlebrighter as there was a bumpercrop of winter wheat, but priceswere unbelievably low. Farmers re-

ceived only 19 cents a bushel forNo. 1 winter wheat.

The dust bowl continued into1933 where dust storms strippedthe topsoil from dried out SouthDakota farmlands in just one of aseries of bad dust storms that year.

Then, beginning on May 9, 1934,a strong two-day dust storm re-moved massive amounts of GreatPlains topsoil in one of the worstsuch storms of the Dust Bowl.Through perseverance and stub-bornness the elevator continued tooperate.

In 1934, as the worst of the dustbowl storms where happening alarge wareshouse was built to thesouth of the Wall Elevator. Ithoused a modern feed grinder.Ground bulk feed was now avail-able to farmers and ranchers.

Jackie Paulson wrote, The WallElevator was the first business in

Wall to handle feed in the pelletform. These pellets of balanced ra-tions were made for chickens, andonly five sacks were sold in the firstyear but over the next year over150 sacks were sold. In 1943, theelevator was sold to Ralph Ivinsofand he sold it to Tri State Elevatorin 1962, both elevators operatedunder one management. In April of

2001, Dakota Mill and Grainbought the business from ConA-gra. ConAgra had purchased theelevator in the early 1990s fromHubbard who had bought it fromTri-State Milling.

On Monday, January 30, DakotaMill and Grain tore down the twoold elevators due to the difficultyof keeping them clean and formaintenance purposes. Jerry Mor-

gan who has been with the eleva-tor since December of 1978, said,the wood was getting awfully dryespecially for lightening.

Construction workers demol-ished the leg inside of the taller el-evator and a crane and caterpillarwere then used to tear down the el-evator that still had E. C. Smootsname on it.

Dakota Mill and Grain employ-ees Jerry Morgan, Curt Williuweitwho started in 1991, Geroge Lan-gendorfer who has worked forJohnson Ranchers Supply for 22years and made the transition toDakota Mill and Grain when theypurchased the business from Rickand Wendy Johnson in August of2010. Dakota Mill also empolystwo high school students; Gui

Buaer who works everyday afterschool and Fridays along with TreyRichter who also works on Fridays.They also have a secretary for theoffice.

Although the old elevator is gonethe excellent service that theseelmployees provide to customerswill continue on for many years tocome.

by Cornelius R. StamMan, by nature, is afraid

of God. When Adam firstsinned, he should havegone immediately to God tobeg for mercy and forgive-ness. Instead he did justwhat millions are doingtoday: he ran and hid fromGod so that God had tocome and look for Him, asit were, calling: "Adam...where art thou?" (Gen. 3:9).

Many people who con-

sider themselves as good,morally, as those aboutthem, or even better, never-theless feel utterly ill-at-ease in a place of worship,where believers pray andpraise God together. This isbecause in their heart ofhearts they know that theyhave "sinned and comeshort of the glory of God"(Rom. 3:23).

Such, however, maycome to know, love andenjoy God through faith inChrist. He was Himself Godmanifested in the flesh,come to earth in love to payfor our sins on Calvary'scross, so that we mighthave "redemption throughHis blood, the forgivenessof sins according to the

riches of His grace" (Eph.

1:7).Concerning those who

respond in grateful faith andtrust in the crucified, risen,glorified Lord for salvation,the Apostle Paul says:

"Therefore, being justi-fied by faith, we havepeace with God throughour Lord Jesus Christ; bywhom also we have ac-cess by faith into thisgrace wherein we stand,and rejoice in hope of the

glory of God" (Rom. 5:2).Peace with God, and thefellowship which naturallyresults from this is the mostprecious treasure thehuman heart can contain.Yet our fellowship with Himhere on earth is but the be-ginning. Read carefullyEphesians 5:25-27 and seehow He took upon Himhuman form, and died, thatHe might have us for Him-self forever:

"...Christ... loved theChurch, and gave Himselffor it... that He might pres-ent it to Himself a glori-ous Church, not havingspot, or wrinkle, or anysuch thing; but that itshould be holy and with-out blemish."

Greetings my how a personslife can change. Make sure yourpictures are labeled and face thereality that unexpected things andevents do happen so try to prepare.

We do have to feel blessed wehave had such a great fall into thewinter months. Im still waiting tosee how March comes in. I amafraid I am going to have to givethe countryside up. I have enjoyedthe visits and the privilege to

share your news but I never didconvince some that there were peo-ple that moved away and wouldeven just like to read your name inthe paper that you were okay. If Ihad a computer and the knowl-edge, I feel it would be easy but lifehas its interruptions. MaryPaulsen, Kathleen Shull andNancy Horton, I feel blessed to getto know you and your encourage-ment and everyone that sharedtheir news with us. It would costme to much to get the minutes onthe phone.

Mary Paulsen drove to Atwater,MN, to spend time and give en-couragement to her sister Mar-garet and Augie. Augie has beendiagnosed with Lewbody Demen-tia, a rare disease with no hope ofa cure. He is in a nursing home inWillmar, MN. His medication right

now seems to be helping control itfor the time being. Margaret isplanning on bringing Augie hometo care for him until she can nolonger handle the situation. Pleaseput them in your prayer list.

Kathleen Shull sent a correction,Qater is spelt with a Q instead of aK when she looked it up on themap. Seth Shull is in Okinawa andis wife his in California, whereSeth was stationed until they senthim to Okinawa.

Son Stuart Riggins of Logan-

dale, NE, flew here to help withmoving arrangements and stayedlonger than planned. Lynn McKaymet him at the airport and thentook him back to the airport whenhe returned home.

Delbert and Mary Paulsen trav-eled to Belle Fourche to visit andalso watch grandson Dawson score12 points and 12 rebounds at theNewell-Belle Fourche game. Daw-son is 11 years old. The team wontheir game. Were you popping but-tons Delmer? Our grandchildrenare a source of enjoyment andpride.

Kathleen Shull is proudly wel-coming a new great-grandson inthe fold. Williams was born Janu-ary 16 to Ethan and Grace Shull in

Washington State. William is her30th great-grandchild. Ethan isstill in the army.

January 30th, Lori andLawrence Schreiber and Delmerand Mary Paulsen drove to Philipto attend the movie War Horse.It passed a great test and they areready for more.

Thanks girls, I didnt have timeto make any calls and life seems tomove at its own pace.

Thought: We are here to addwhat we can to life not to get what

we can from it. Discipline is thebridge between goals and accom-

plishments.
