The document was then sent to Na- tional Park Service (NPS) Midwest Regional Director Mike Reynolds in Omaha, Nebraska, who con- cluded the six year process of pub- lic involvement in the South Unit General Management Plan (GMP)/Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), by adding his sig- nature as the approving official. Referring to taking the next step and implementing the GMP/EIS’s Preferred Alternative, Reynolds stated, “I look forward to working with all of you to create a lasting vi- sion and a tribal national park with programs that match the in- credible resources and amazing people of the Badlands and the Oglala Sioux Tribe.” The ROD is significant because it identifies continuing protection and visitor experience goals for the South Unit by selecting the Pre- ferred Alternative as the guide to best manage these world class nat- ural and cultural resources. The document also calls for manage- ment of the South Unit by tribal members in what would be the na- tion’s first tribal national park. The NPS, Oglala Sioux Tribe (OST), and Oglala Sioux Parks and Recreation Authority (OSPRA) have been working coop- eratively on the development of a GMP/EIS that establishes a com- mon vision for managing resources and visitor use in the South Unit of Badlands National Park since early 2006. With the signing of the ROD, the NPS and OST will focus on restoring the health and vi- brancy of the prairie, enhancing wildlife habitat, and providing road and trail access into the South Unit. The final GMP/EIS was released on April 27, and remained avail- able for 30 day public review fol- lowing announcement of its avail- ability in the Federal Register on April 26. This GMP/EIS has been developed with extensive public input and review by tribal mem- bers, NPS, agencies and organiza- tions that included 18 public scop- ing meetings, five draft review public meetings, and 361 com- ments. Copies of the final GMP/EIS are available at Bad- lands National Park, and on the Internet at http://www.parkplan- ning.nps.gov/badl. It can also be accessed through the park’s home page at http://www.nps.gov/badl. Following the signing of the ROD at White River Visitor Cen- ter, Brunnemann stated, “This signing is a historic milestone, and it’s the beginning of a new partner- ship.” The vision described in the GMP/EIS, which includes manage- ment by tribal members, will re- quire legislation and Congres- sional approval. Brunnemann and Steele pledged to begin this new process immediately following the summer tourist season in August. Both tribal and NPS representa- tives will then meet to start draft- ing the legislation needed to turn this vision into reality. by Laurie Hindman “The First Interstate Greater Wall Fund does a fabulous job. They have $360,000 in their funds and are close to their five year chal- lenge of raising $50,000 in five years”, said Noel Hamiel with the South Dakota Community Founda- tion. He went on to say the most ex- citing part of raising those funds is Wall will probably achieve their goal in three years. The funds will be matched by First Interstate Bank Foundation and the S.D. Community Fund will then match up to $25,000 raising the First In- terstate Greater Wall Fund to half a million dollars. Hamiel went on to say, “the First Interstate Greater Wall Fund has always done a fabu- lous job and the proceeds of these funds will always come back to the Wall area.” Hamiel was the guest speaker at the Wall Badlands Area Chamber of Commerce meeting held on Mon- day, June 11. Hamiel who is the Community Savings Account Coordinator for S.D.

Affairs Specialist You may have more options thanyou know when it comes to SocialSecurity benefits. Like many, youprobably have given some thoughtto your own retirement plans. Youknow you can retire as early as age62 and get reduced benefits. Youknow you can wait until your fullretirement age and get full bene-fits. You also may know you candefer collecting benefits and ac-crue delayed retirement credits upto age 70, which will boost yourpayment. But did you know that being aspouse or a widower gives youeven more choices? For example, if you havereached your full retirement agewhen you elect to receive benefitsand are eligible for a spouse’s orex-spouse’s benefit and your ownretirement benefit, you maychoose to receive only spouse’s ben-efits. In this way, you can continueto earn delayed retirement creditson your own Social Securityrecord. You then may file for bene-fits on your own record later andreceive a higher monthly benefitbased on the effect of delayed re-tirement credits. Widows and widowers have sim-ilar options. Widows and widowerscan begin receiving Social Securitybenefits at age 60, at age 50 if they

are disabled, or at any age if theyare caring for the deceasedworker’s child who is younger than16 or disabled and also entitled toSocial Security benefits on the de-ceased worker’s record. Widows and widowers can takea reduced benefit on one recordand later switch to a full benefit onthe other record. For example, awoman could take a reducedwidow’s benefit at age 60 or 62 andthen switch to her full (100 per-cent) retirement benefit when shereaches full retirement age. If you already are receiving re-duced benefits and you then arewidowed, you may want to waituntil full retirement age to claimsurvivor’s benefits. Then your ben-efits as a survivor will not be re-duced for your age. They may bereduced, however, if your deceasedspouse took benefits early and wasreceiving reduced benefits. The rules vary depending on thesituation, so you should talk to aSocial Security representativeabout the options available to you.

Social Security NewsSpousal benefits offer increased retirement options

By Gov. Dennis Daugaard South Dakota has one of the top

ten fastest growing economies inthe country. As we all know, astrong, thriving economy is the keyto increasing our tax base and pay-ing for important governmentservices: education, law enforce-ment, and caring for those whocannot care for themselves.

There is more good news for ourstate budget, as well. Thanks tothe conservative, frugal efforts ofour Legislature, we have created aculture where government doesn’tspend every last penny it receives.For FY2012, which ends on the

Clearer skies in South Dakotalast day in June, many of our stateagencies will have underspenttheir budgets.

With one month to go in the fis-cal year, we estimate that the statewill spend approximately 99 per-cent of the funds appropriated thisyear. The extra one percent maynot sound like much, but itamounts to about $13 million onthe bottom line, unspent. Thosedollars will be available for theLegislature to save or to spendnext year on education, healthcare, or other priorities.

That is responsible government.It is better to have a budget sur-

plus than to spend money that wedon’t have.

I am very proud of the people ofSouth Dakota, for driving oureconomy to new heights. I am sim-ilarly proud of our state employeesfor showing the same frugality andself-reliance that has made SouthDakota a great state.

We weathered a great stormduring the recession that began in2008, but we made it through to-gether. We were unafraid to makethe tough choices – the rightchoices – to get our fiscal house inorder, and now we can begin toreap the rewards. South Dakota’stax collections look strong, and I’mhoping to report good news aboutrevenues after the fiscal year endson June 30.

Things are going well in SouthDakota and we need to keep it up.We need to keep adding more jobsand growing our economy. Thatwill increase our tax base andallow us to pay for important gov-ernment services. At the sametime, we need to always rememberthat tax dollars are the peoples’dollars. They should be spent fru-gally, and we should always err onthe side of surplus rather thandeficit or debt.

If we can do these things, we canensure that South Dakota remainsin good fiscal health. Now that weare on a sound financial footing,we can turn from repairing ourbudget problems to planning for abrighter future.

This summer, 12 university stu-dents will learn first-hand aboutproviding healthcare in ruralSouth Dakota. This is thanks tosix communities’ collaborationswith a grant program designed toraise awareness for the healthcareservices needs in underservedareas of the state. The six communities were se-

lected as “Best Practice Model”sites for the Rural Experiences forHealth Professions Students Pro-gram (REHPS) in 2012. TheREHPS program connects inter-professional groups of students en-rolled in medical, physician assis-tant, doctor of nurse practice, andpharmacy programs through theUniversity of South Dakota (USD)and South Dakota State Univer-sity (SDSU) with medical profes-sionals practicing in six ruralSouth Dakota communities. Theprogram has expanded from threesites in 2011 to six in 2012. Students were selected in a com-

petitive process to participate inREHPS. •Parkston: Danielle Schroeder,Doctor of Nursing Practice studentfrom Pierre; Megan Bechen, Phar-macy student from Winfred •Philip: Tandis Hoffman, Physi-cian Assistant student fromLennox; Kimberly Livingston,Pharmacy student from Yankton •Redfield: Miranda Tracy, Med-ical student from Pierre; AlyssaOsborn, Pharmacy student fromBrookings •Wagner: Amber Burke, Phar-macy student from Round LakePark, Ill.; Mikaela Miller, Medical

student from Spencer, Neb. •Wessington Springs: AnthonyLoewen, Medical student fromHuron; Trent Harris, Pharmacystudent from Valentine, Neb. •Winner: Tia Haines, PhysicianAssistant student from WhiteLake; Justin Cunningham, Phar-macy student from Bloomfield,Neb. In addition to the enriching ca-

reer experience, students will alsobe involved in a community projectdesigned to provide interactionwith people outside of a clinicalsetting. The students will call theirnew communities home for fourweeks. Kassy Youmans, REHPS Pro-

gram Manager, said the REHPSprogram provides a framework forcommunity leaders to follow in aneffort to successfully recruit andretain healthcare professionals. “Students are more likely to re-

turn to facilities and communitieswhere they have had rich, positiveexperiences early in their training. The REHPS program is de-signed to allow communities andstudents to make this happen,”Youmans said. South Dakota is experiencing a

shortage of healthcare workers.The number of high school gradu-ates in the state decreases as thenumber of retirees is increasing.Between now and 2018, 10 percentof the new jobs in South Dakotawill be healthcare related. Fifty-nine of South Dakota’s 66 countiesare designated as medically under-served.

The South Dakota Departmentof Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) ispreparing for another record yearof helping landowners reduce or al-leviate crop damage caused byCanada geese. Resident Canada goose popula-tions continue to exceed manage-ment objectives in eastern SouthDakota. The U.S. Fish and WildlifeService (USFWS) estimated morethan 227,000 birds during springpopulation surveys in 2011 – wellabove the state’s population objec-tive of 80,000 to 90,000 Canadageese. When combined with favorablenesting conditions this spring, rowcrop expansion, early planting andhigh commodity prices, GFP willundoubtedly be busy addressingcrop damage during the next sev-eral months. The high number of residentCanada geese has landownersfrustrated with crop damage, espe-cially when commodity prices arehigh. “There are many areas in east-ern South Dakota where farmersare struggling with crop damageby resident Canada geese,” saidGFP Wildlife Damage ProgramAdministrator Keith Fisk. “GFPuses a diversity of abatement tech-niques to alleviate or reduce dam-age to growing crops, includingfencing, supplemental feedingsites, food plots, vegetative bufferstrips, hazing and the use of de-coys and other deterrents.” The Game, Fish and Parks De-partment can also use its authori-zation from a federally issued Spe-cial Canada Goose Permit to de-stroy up to 2,500 goose nests andup to 3,500 birds.

GFP uses many tools to helpcontrol resident Canada Geese

“This year’s nestwork activitieshave been completed on 71 loca-tions in eastern South Dakota,”Fisk said. In addition, GFP has allowedlandowners to remove a limitednumber of geese causing damageat identified complaint locations,he said. “GFP is authorizing landownerswho meet specific criteria the op-tion of removing a limited numberof geese that are causing damageat complaint sites as another haz-ing technique,” Fisk said. “GFPwalks a tightrope trying to balancesportsmen’s’ concerns of lethallyremoving geese outside of huntingseasons and farmers’ concernsabout excessive crop damage.” The Game, Fish and Parks De-partment has long had a workingrelationship with agricultural pro-ducers when it comes to assistancein limiting the amount of cropdepredation they experience, hesaid. GFP has also implemented theAugust Management Take (AMT)the past two years and has beenusing the Early Fall Canada gooseseason for several years in attemptto lower the resident Canada goosepopulation. Hunters harvested anestimated 80,000 Canada geeseduring those two seasons last year. “Hunters are a primary toolused to control the residentCanada goose population,” Fisksaid. “GFP encourages waterfowlhunters to take advantage of theAMT and Early Goose seasons. We’re trying to usesportsmen/women as much as pos-sible to bring the resident Canadagoose population to an acceptablelevel.”

care can help avoid or treat theseconditions. It almost goes without sayingthat smoking or smokeless tobaccocauses doggy breath. Avoid thesebad habits. Of course garlic and onion givetheir odor after absorption intoyour bloodstream, which is carriedto the lungs, and then transferredto the breath. Mouthwash ormints will only cover-up until timeresolves the odor by breaking thechemical down that is being car-ried in the blood stream. You can escape the plodding Pol-ish Army… Remember that badbreath makes a compelling casefor good brushing and flossinghabits and for regular dental andmedical care. Dr. Rick Holm wrote this edito-rial for “On Call®,” a weekly pro-gram where medical professionalsdiscuss health concerns for thegeneral public. “On Call®” is pro-duced by the Healing Words Foun-dation in association with theSouth Dakota State UniversityJournalism Department. “OnCall®” airs Thursdays on SouthDakota Public Broadcasting-Tele-vision at 7 p.m. Central, 6 p.m.Mountain.

By Richard P. Holm MD Halitosis is a fishy and fancymedical word that stands for badbreath. Years ago I heard it putthis way: “The Polish Army musthave marched through my mouthlast night.” Not only is it sociallyoffensive, a foul odor coming frombetween the lips can also reflect aserious underlying dental or med-ical problem. Probably the most significantcause for bad breath is dry mouthand coated tongue, often resultingfrom medicines like decongestantsfor stuffy nose or pills for urinaryincontinence. Dry mouth can alsobe due to mouth breathing, aging,or to an immune disease, which af-fects the salivary glands. No mat-ter the cause, without saliva notonly will the breath turn foul, butteeth fall out. Treat this by avoid-ing mouth-drying medicines whenpossible, sucking on sugar-freelemon drops or gum, and consult-ing a physician or dentist. Alsobrushing the tongue to remove the“coat” will go a long way to im-prove one’s breath. Periodontal disease withplaque, gingivitis, or bacterial in-fection in sinuses or the lung cancertainly cause the odor of rotting.Regular dental and medical health

The 2011-12 school year markedthe fourteenth year of recognitionby the South Dakota High SchoolActivities Association (SDHSAA)of athletic teams and fine artsgroups for academic excellence. The Activities Association recog-nizes over 300 high school athleticteams and fine arts groups fromschools across the state whichhave achieved the “AcademicAchievement Team Award” for thespring season. Any varsity athleticteam or fine arts group achieving

Team awards announced for SDHSAA Fine Arts andAthletic Academic Achievement in 2012 spring season

a combined grade point average of3.0 or higher is eligible to receivethe SDHSAA Academic Achieve-ment Team Award. Numerous independent studies

conducted by the U.S. Departmentof Education and major universi-ties continue to demonstrate thatstudents who are involved in inter-scholastic fine arts and athletic ac-tivities tend to have higher gradesin school, have better school atten-dance, and have fewer disciplinaryproblems than non-participating

students. These studies clearlyshow that high school studentslearn valuable lessons and lifetimeskills, not only inside the class-room, but also through their par-ticipation in fine arts programsand school athletics. In addition, many studies indi-cate that students who are in-volved in multiple activities tendto have even better academic suc-cess than students that are in-volved in only one activity. This award program is spon-

sored by the SDHSAA to recognizethe academic success of the teamsand to encourage all students toexcel in the classroom. Wall teams who earned theaward are: •Girls Golf Team •Yearbook •Large Group Chorus •Girls Track and Field Team •Boys Track and Field Team •Large Group Band

Lake Oahe Walleye fishing should remaingood on Lake Oahe through thespring of 2012 and into the sum-mer. With the good fishing, ques-tions remain on the status andhealth of the food supply in LakeOahe. South Dakota Game, Fishand Parks (GF&P) staff begantheir annual monitoring of therainbow smelt population in LakeOahe during April. This includesmonitoring spawning adults andgrowth and distribution of youngfish produced this year, losses offish from the system to predatorsand reservoir releases during thesummer months, and most impor-tantly, population estimates at theend of the summer.

Fisheries Program Administra-tor Geno Adams said, “Monitoringthrough lake surveys and anglercreel surveys over the next yearwill help paint a clearer picture ofimpacts of high water releases in2011 on reservoir fisheries. Weknow fish moved through thesesystems, but to what extent it willaffect the sport fisheries remainsto be seen.”

GF&P staff began netting forspawning adult rainbow smelt atthe beginning of April and finishedin early May. Although adult rain-bow smelt were caught, the num-bers of fish and the length of thespawning run were lower thanmost previous years. Comparingcatches in 2012 to the last ten

GFP Missouri River Fisheries updatesyears suggests that the 2012spawn was in the lower one-thirdin terms of the length of thespawning season. Hatching condi-tions during the egg incubationtime frame were mixed. The USArmy Corps of Engineers provideda slow increase in the Lake Oahewater level during April. This in-crease is necessary to keep eggs inshallow water submerged. How-ever, Lake Oahe experienced manyhigh wind events during April.Waves created by wind stir up thebottom in shallow areas, which candamage fragile smelt eggs or de-posit silt on top of the eggs, suffo-cating them. Knowing these fac-tors play a large role in the successof the smelt spawn, GF&P staffwill continue to sample for youngsmelt in Oahe in an effort to deter-mine spawning success.

In addition, a Lake Oahe gizzardshad stocking project is underway.GF&P staff are attempting to bol-ster Lake Oahe prey fish numbersby stocking adult, pre-spawn giz-zard shad this spring. The objec-tive is for these fish to spawn inOahe, providing sport fish withyoung gizzard shad as a food re-source in localized areas. Paststudies have revealed that whenabundant, shad are readily eatenby walleye and other Lake Oahefishes. GF&P staff reached theirgoal of stocking approximately1,700 shad early in May. As withrainbow smelt monitoring, GF&P

staff will use various tools to mon-itor the success of the gizzard shadstocking project. Lake Sharpe Fishing has remained good onLake Sharpe through the spring of2012. However, numerous reportsof “skinny” fish have been fieldedby South Dakota Game, Fish andParks (GF&P) staff. Althoughmost of the walleye in LakeSharpe appear healthy, there aresome skinny fish in the system.This is largely due to low gizzardshad production in 2011 caused bythe 2011 flood. During the flood of 2011, waterreleases through Oahe dam werethe highest ever recorded. Becausethe water intake structures forOahe Dam are deep below the sur-face, water released into LakeSharpe was very cold. In fact,water temperatures last yearwere10-16 F below normal sum-mer water temperatures. Thesecool water conditions likely de-layed gizzard shad spawning in2011. Thus, fewer shad were avail-able as food for sport fish throughthe winter and spring. Because ofthe high number of rainbow smeltpassing through Oahe Dam in2011, Lake Sharpe sport fish re-mained healthy through the sum-mer and fall months despite fewavailable gizzard shad. Now thatthe supply of rainbow smelt fromOahe Dam has been curtailed, thesport fish in Lake Sharpe are be-

ginning to feel the effects of alower food supply than most years.However, the effects of low gizzardshad reproduction in 2011 shouldbe short lived. GF&P staff havespent time on Lake Sharpe lookingfor evidence of gizzard shadspawning, with much success.Initial sampling efforts indicate astrong gizzard shad spawn is tak-ing place on Lake Sharpe. Gizzardshad spawn in shallow water areasclose to shore. They are frequentlyobserved at Farm Island in HippleLake spawning. Senior Fisheries Biologist MarkFincel said, “I have seen first handgizzard shad spawning on LakeSharpe and we have begun tocatch the larval fish in our sur-veys. Current weather conditionswill likely favor the gizzard shadspawn (warm and sunny) so it islikely the spawn will last a couplemore weeks at least. It is only amatter of time before we see thosefish in the diets of Lake Sharpesport fish.” With a successful gizzard shadspawn on Lake Sharpe, it is likelythese fish will become available asfood for sport fish by late June.Until the food supply increasesand water temperatures warmsubstantially, we expect fishing tocontinue to be good on LakeSharpe.

South Dakotans can do theirpart to prevent West Nile virus(WNV) by getting in the habit ofusing insect repellent, says a statehealth official. “West Nile virus might seem lessof a concern now that SouthDakota has 10 years’ experiencewith it but it would be a mistake tothink the virus isn’t a threat,” saidDr. Lon Kightlinger, State Epi-demiologist for the South DakotaDepartment of Health. “West Nilevirus can be a serious, even fatal,illness and we need to prevent it.” South Dakota has reported1,759 cases, including 26 deaths,since its first case in 2002. There

Use insect repellent, support local mosquitocontrol to prevent spread of WNV

have been cases in every county. Kightlinger said the depart-ment’s surveillance is underwaythis year as well but all mosquitopools tested so far have been neg-ative for the virus. Nationally, 10states have reported WNV detec-tions in mosquitoes or animals;only Texas has reported a humancase. To prevent mosquito bites andreduce the risk of WNV, the De-partment of Health recommendsthe following personal precautions: Use mosquito repellents (DEET,

picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus,or IR3535) and limit exposure bycovering up.

• Limit time outdoors from duskto midnight when Culex mosqui-toes are most active.

• Get rid of standing water thatgives mosquitoes a place to breed.

• Support local mosquito controlefforts. Personal precautions are espe-cially important for those at highrisk for WNV – people over 50,pregnant women, transplant pa-tients, individuals with diabetes or

high blood pressure, and thosewith a history of alcohol abuse.People with a severe or unusualheadache should see their physi-cian. West Nile cases have occurred asearly as June in South Dakota butpeak transmission is July throughearly September.

by Cornelius R. StamIn charging Timothy to

"preach the Word," theApostle does not mean, assome have supposed, thatthe pastor should draw hissermon material equallyfrom all parts of the Bible.True, "all Scripture" isgiven so that the "man ofGod" may be fullyequipped for his ministry.But in this same letter theApostle Paul indicates thatthe Scriptures must be"rightly divided" (II Tim.2:15) and that his ownGod-given message is theWord of God in particularfor the present dispensa-tion of grace (See II Tim.1:7-14; 2:7-9). Thus theApostle declares by inspi-ration that believers areestablished by "my gospeland the preaching of JesusChrist according to the rev-elation of the mystery"(Rom. 16:25).

How often the Apostle in-sists that his message isthe Word of God! To theThessalonian believers hewrites with joy:

"For this cause also

thank we God withoutceasing, because, whenye received the Word ofGod which ye heard ofus, ye received it not asthe word of men, but asit is in truth, the Word ofGod..." (I Thes. 2:13).

Thus the Apostle writesto Timothy, in this his lastletter:

"Hold fast the form ofsound words which thouhast heard of me..." (IITim. 1:13).

"And the things thatthou hast heard of meamong many witnesses,the same commit thou tofaithful men..." (2:2).

"Remember that JesusChrist, of the seed ofDavid, was raised fromthe dead according tomy gospel" (2:8).

The charge to "preachthe Word," therefore,refers to "all Scripture" ingeneral, but to Paul's God-given message in particu-lar. This is obvious, for it isin urging Timothy to faith-fully carry on in his placethat the Apostle chargeshim to "preach the Word."

My winning hand for those whodemand to win both personally andprofessionally is assured with anACE in the hole.

AccountabilityCommunication

Excellence Let's break these down so thatwhen we look inside we see thepower of these attitudes and be-haviors. We then should adoptthem to our personal way of oper-ating our lives. Take a hold andturn these keys to greater success.Accountability: Service providers and employeesneed to make sure, now more thanever, that they are seeking out ac-countability for results, and totalcustomer satisfaction in every con-tact, including both the externaland internal customer that theyserve. Accountability before, duringand after the sale, are fundamentaland a requirement for success. Years ago I rebelled in everymajor way against accountability,though today I have a great respectfor accountability and seek out sit-uations and people to be account-able to so that I can build thismindset deeper into my way of op-erating. *I cannot say I have totally "ar-rived" in area of accountability.

Frankly this is something that Imust work at purposefully everyday!Communication: Leaders need to make sure theyare clearly communicating the ex-pectations they have for job per-formance to their employees. I refer to this as a Clarification ofExpectations! A clarification in re-sults utilizes performance stan-dards and measurement statisti-cally in numbers, percentages, anddollars that are written down andspelled out in black and white. Ifan employer fails to communicatethe standards they are to blame forpoor performance of employees onthe job. There are no excuses forneglecting this leadership respon-sibility. Simply enlighten your peo-ple-and do it as often as necessary. *I cannot say I have totally ar-rived as an expert in communica-tions, though it is honestly some-thing that I must work at preciselyevery day!Excellence: Seek excellence in every facet of

the job because that is what willkeep people coming back. Excel-lence is also what may bring for-mer customers who decided to goelsewhere for one reason or an-other back to you. Repeat cus-tomers and/or contracts renewedare generally direct results of excel-lence in service delivery, and whenpeople have encountered excellenceit turns them on like a light switch.Satisfied customers respond withreferrals and repeat business. Ipersonally love quality and excel-lence as they go hand in hand.Strive for excellence in all things. *I cannot say I have totally ar-rived in this area either. However,excellence is what I strive for andwork at diligently toward everyday! In summary, today it will be vitalfor you to grab a hold of these threewords and diligently apply theminto your systems of operationdaily. Do not hold back. Take themseriously and live your dreams.Today is the day and now is thetime to use that ACE in the hole! *Reader, you will notice my dis-claimers in this article. I believethat anyone speaking or writing onthese subjects needs to place theirpersonal disclaimer in their work.If someone claims they have totallyarrived in these areas-well, in myhumble opionion, they have someserious honesty issues and are a lit-tle too self-absorbed.

ACE In The Hole

Getting the dirt on dirt forhealthier, happier kids

Dirt is a four-letter word to manymoms, but letting your kids getdirty is actually good for them ac-cording to a new report from theNational Wildlife Federation, "TheDirt on Dirt: How Getting DirtyOutdoors Benefits Kids."

Fears about dangers lurking inthe muck - microbes, parasites andamoebas, oh my! - keep some par-ents from letting kids do whatcomes naturally, which is to go out-side and get dirty.

But here's a dirty little secret:Children who spend the better partof their free time in the company oftheir sterile hi-tech gadgets ratherthan playing outside, are more vul-nerable to obesity, ADHD, vitaminD deficiency and depression.

There's a growing body of re-search that suggests overprotect-ing kids from dirt and germs mayactually inhibit their physicalhealth and resilience. Activitieskids love, such as making mudpies, splashing in puddles androlling down hillsides are actuallya grubby prescription for healthand happiness.

•Children's stress levels fall

within minutes of seeing greenspaces, according to a 2004 study inthe American Journal of PublicHealth.

•When children are exposed togerms and pathogens during in-fancy, their risk of cardiovascularinflammation in adulthood is re-duced, according to a 2010 North-western University study.

•A friendly bacteria found in soilhelps produce serotonin, which en-hances feelings of well-being, muchthe same way that antidepressantdrugs and exercise do, according toa 2007 Bristol University study.

While common sense sanitationpractices like washing hands andusing hand sanitizer when soapand water aren't available should-n't stop, you'll be doing your chil-dren a favor if you encourage themto go outside and get dirty.

Here are some fun - and messy -ideas from the National WildlifeFederation that will let your kidshave some good, clean, dirty funoutdoors:Be an Artist

•Give your child a stick and amuddy surface to draw on. Mis-

takes are no problem. Just smooth•Mud balls can become out-of-

season snowmen or abstract sculp-tures. If your child's creation isn'tsticking together, just add morewater. Be a Builder

•Your children can make build-ings of all shapes and sizes if theyuse sticks to create a frame andpack mud onto it. Houses or fortsperhaps, a castle with a moat, or a

•If they also like the idea oflarge-scale public works, havethem make a river by digging atrench in the mud or dirt. Then,add water as needed. Most impor-tantly, build a dam to protect thetown. Be a Biologist

•When it rains, take a walkthrough your neighborhood to seewhich animals go under cover andwhich come out in wet weather. Youmay also see birds swooping downto take a bath in nearby puddles.

•This is also a fine time to studyworms that surface to breathewhen their burrows fill with water.Then, enlist the kids in a WormRescue Squad and move anyworms they find on the sidewalkback to the dirt so they don't dryout. Be a Chef

•If you're going to play in themud, why not make some mudpies? If you have some old cake orpie tins, great. Otherwise, shallowplastic containers work just fine.Once the pies are "baked," it's timeto make them beautiful. Encourageyour children to scour the yard forpebbles, petals, and leaves that will

•Collect dirt, grass, leaves, twigsand acorns in a large container,and you have a bountiful naturesalad. Add some water, and it'smud stew.

Milk matters By Ann Schwader

Nutrition Field SpecialistSDSU Extension-Winner

Regional Extension Center MyPlate calls the formerMyPyramid “Milk Group” the“Dairy Group”. Consuming dairyproducts provides health benefitssuch as improved bone health.Bone mass is built during child-hood and adolescence, so the in-take of dairy products during theseyears is especially important tobone health. It shows that milk

matters. Foods in the Dairy Group pro-

Calcium builds strong bonesand teeth in children and youth.It also helps adults keep their bonemass so they do not develop weakbones and diseases like osteoporo-sis.

School may be out for summer, butthe pursuit of knowledge shouldnever take a break – and a nationalpark is like a classroom, but waymore fun. Here are some great ideasfor how to learn at a national parknear you: •Commemorate the 150th an-niversary of the Civil War with a tripto a battlefield. •Visit the childhood home of a his-torical figure to learn about day-to-day living in a different era. Experi-ence the log cabin in Kentuckywhere Abraham Lincoln was born, ormarvel through Teddy Roosevelt’schildhood home in New York City. •Connect with your past at a placethat has special meaning to yourfamily history. •Discover an array of wildlife andplant life and truly appreciate thepark’s biodiversity. On your visit,take a guided walk with a ParkRanger. Be sure to look up, lookdown and all around to make a gameof spotting as many species as youcan. •Encourage your children to con-nect to the science, history and nat-ural wonder of parks by becoming aJunior Ranger, or if you can’t makeit to the park, explore the We-

National Parks offer affordable Summerfun close to home

bRanger program online. •How’d that boulder get there?Discover the geology of canyons,mountains and other scenic land-scapes. National park visitor centerscan provide you with resources tohelp you understand the groundbelow you. •Challenge yourself to an outdooradventure like camping, biking orrafting. Pick up skills like pitching atent and cooking outdoors. •National parks face many chal-lenges, from threats to wildlife, tothe need for more funding. Learnabout these concerns and what youcan do to help locally and nationally. “Our national parks are the soul ofthis country,” says Tom Kiernan,President of the National Parks Con-servation Association. “These arespecial places that can inspire us

and connect us to nature and ourshared heritage.” The National Park System wascreated with enjoyment in mind, soplan a trip that will be fun for youand your family. The good news isthat you might not need to travel far;there may be one close to home. Planyour trip at www.nps.gov/findapark. The National Park System, whichcovers over 83 million acres nation-wide, preserves natural and histori-cal sites, creates jobs, benefits localeconomies, and educates a diversepublic.

sources of this nutrient. Diets richin potassium may help to maintainhealthy blood pressure and reducethe risk of having a stroke.

Some individuals are surprisedto learn that youth and adultsneed more of the dairy group thanchildren to promote good health.Dairy choices should be low-fat orfat-free to cut calories and satu-rated fat. How much is needed?Older children, teens and adultsneed three cups a day, while chil-dren four to eight years old needtwo and one-half cups, and chil-dren two to three years old needtwo cups.

Tips for making wise choices inthe dairy group are as follows: In-clude low-fat or fat-free milk orcalcium-fortified soymilk as a bev-erage at meals. If you currentlydrink whole milk, gradually switchto lower fat versions. This changecuts calories but doesn’t reducecalcium or other essential nutri-ents. If you drink cappuccinos orlattes ask for them with fat-freemilk (skim) milk. Make fruit-yo-gurt smoothies in the blender.Top fruit salads and baked pota-toes with low-fat yogurt instead ofhigh fat toppings such as sourcream. Plan to use plain yogurt in-stead of sour cream for dip recipes.

Can’t drink milk? If you avoidmilk because of lactose intoler-ance, the most reliable way to getthe health benefits of dairy prod-ucts is to choose lactose-free alter-natives within the Dairy Group,such as cheese, yogurt, lactose-freemilk, or calcium-fortified soymilk(soy beverage) or consume the en-zyme lactase before consumingmilk.

Milk matters. Parents whodrink milk and eat dairy foodsshow their kids that it is impor-tant. Go to: http://www.choosemy-plate.gov/food-groups/dairy.html tofind out what foods are included inthe Dairy Group.

Summer means sunshine, relax-ation and backyard barbecues. But italso means the return of insect sea-son. Homeowners work hard on theirbackyards, but the nuisance of peskyflying insects often prevent themfrom enjoying their yards as much aspossible. Not only are insects annoying,they can be dangerous too. Stinginginsects send over 500,000 people tothe emergency room each year andan estimated two million Americansare allergic to insect stings. Don’t let bugs keep you from relax-ing outdoors. Use these tips to takeback your yard from annoying pests.

Take back your backyard fromInsects this season

Eat More Garlic Garlic is heralded for its ability toward off bloodsucking vampires; butdid you know eating garlic can repelbloodsucking insects as well? Garlicis excreted through the pores andacts as a natural barrier to flying in-sects who don’t like the smell.Eliminate Dangerous Flying In-sects The key to insect control is earlydetection and elimination. Considerusing traps to eliminate bothersomebugs. Not all traps are eyesores. Forexample, the Black Flag Flying In-sect Trap and Lure attracts, traps,and kills wasps, yellow jackets andflies, and can be hung in a tree orstaked in the ground; discreetlyblending into any outdoor setting.It’s also safe for your family and pets.More information is available atwww.blackflag.com.Wear Proper Clothes Bees, wasps, and yellow jacketsare attracted to bright colors and flo-ral patterns. The color black alsotends to irritate the insects. Wearlight colors such as khaki, beige, orwhite to avoid being stung.Grow Plants and Herbs Certain plants and herbs, such asrosemary, basil and thyme, emitodors that ward off insects. Not onlywill these plants help deter un-wanted pests; you’ll also have somefresh herbs ready for cooking right inyour backyard! Grab a cold drink, kick back andrelax in your yard. You won’t havebugs to worry about anymore.

NOTICE OF PuBLICMEETING

JACKSON COuNTY DRIVER’SLICENSE SERVICES

The Jackson County Commissioners areholding a public meeting at 8:00 p.m., Fri-day, June 29, 2012 in the Courtroom ofthe Jackson County Courthouse, 700Main Street, Kadoka, SD. The purposeof the meeting is to obtain public input asto whether Jackson County should con-tinue to provide driver’s licensing servicesfor the S. D. Department of Public Safety.

In 2004 Jackson County entered into anagreement with the S. D. Department ofPublic Safety to provide driver licensingservices for the State of South Dakota.

At the time Jackson County entered intothe agreement with the State, the Stateprovided driver licensing services in sur-rounding communities. The State has re-duced or eliminated the service providedin those communities. This has createda larger work load for the Jackson Countyoffice(s) providing the services, and thecost to Jackson County is greater thanthe $5.00 per license fee that JacksonCounty retains for providing the service.Jackson County is considering hiring ad-ditional staff for the increased work load.

Citizens come from up to one hundredmiles away to obtain their driver’s li-censes in Jackson County, and manychose to come to Jackson County insteadof going to the state sites in other com-munities, Pierre or Rapid City.

Jackson County requested that JacksonCounty be allowed to retain one-half ofthe license fees. The state has deniedthe request. State law does not allow the

county to charge an additional fee.

If additional funding is not found, theJackson County Commissioners are con-sidering discontinuing the driver licensingservices.

For persons unable to attend this meet-

ing, written comments may be sent to:Jackson County Commission, P O Box280, Kadoka, SD 57543

FOCUS ON THE FAMILYwith Dr. JamesDobson

Dr. Dobson Answersyour Questions

QUESTION: Like everyone else,I constantly feel as if I don’t haveenough hours in my day. Meanwhile,I’ve read lots of articles and been inon lots of conversations about therelative merits of quality and quan-tity "family time." As a parent, thisdebate is of vital importance to me,but I don’t know how to resolve it.Everyone in our house keeps a hecticschedule, and sometimes I find my-self wondering: just how importantis "family time" when you're simplytrying to make ends meet and getthrough the demands of the day?Can you shed any light on this prob-lem for me? ANSWER: Family time is impor-tant and has to incorporate elementsof both quality and quantity. Quantity time creates a safe envi-ronment where youngsters can feelaccepted and valued for who theyare. It communicates availability,fosters a sense of security, and estab-lishes a solid home base from whichchildren can launch out into theworld with confidence and strength.Quality time, on the other hand, isessential to the process of familybonding. It’s the stuff of which rela-tionships are made, the polishedgem that caring parents fashionfrom the raw material of moments,hours, and days spent together. Thething to note is that it’s difficult tohave the one without the other. Themore family time we create, themore opportunities we have to toucheach other’s lives in profound ways.You can’t seize the day if you’re notthere to do the seizing, and it isn’t al-ways possible to cram meaningfulmemories and life-changing conver-sations into a few minutes of con-trived quality time. None of this happens automati-cally, of course. It’s entirely possiblefor a family to spend lots of time to-gether and come away the worse forit, especially if their interactions aremarred by constant strife, anxiety, orabuse. The key to success is inten-tionality—a determination to bepresent in the moment and to makethe most of every circumstance. Contemporary marriages andfamilies lack time—quality andquantity—for a number of reasons.An endless pursuit of materialthings requires increasing amountsof money, which translates into morehours at work. Busyness creates fa-tigue and deflects attention frompressing relational issues. Couples“grow apart” as their lives traveldown separate but parallel tracks.Moms and dads model a task-ori-ented mentality that communicatesan unmistakable message to theirkids: take care of your duties and ob-ligations first, then feel free to re-treat into your own (electronic) stim-ulation, recreation, or leisure-timeactivity (read: “isolation in your ownroom”). If you want to escape this numb-ing pattern, you may need to revampyour schedule and engage in someserious lifestyle planning. Go back toSquare One, revisit your basic val-ues and priorities, and resolve tomake some countercultural choicesand decisions if necessary. Takesteps to reduce your outside commit-ments and block out weekly familytime on the calendar. Don’t worryabout how it looks to “other people”if you limit yourselves to one or twoselections from a long list of worth-while church activities. Resist thetemptation to sign your kids up fornumerous sports teams, music anddance lessons, social clubs, and allkinds of community organizations—one activity per season per childmaybe more than enough. Carve outspaces, create margins, and don’t beafraid of "voids." Agree to turn off allcommunications devices at certaintimes of the day or on certain days ofthe week. Instead of watching TV,read together, play board games,take a walk to a local park, or sit andtalk. Get into your kids’ space, hangout with them, and find out what ex-cites them. This is all part of theprocess of turning quantity intoquality time. Meanwhile, don’t forget to takefull advantage of simple everyday in-teractions. Drive time, mealtime,meal preparation, bath time, bed-time—all can become opportunitiesfor shared discoveries and precious,unforeseen, and unique conversa-tions between parent and child. It’sa matter of learning to savor life’s or-dinary moments. Most children findjust as much, or even more, joy inthe little things as they do in life’sbig events. Activities like eating aspecial breakfast of chocolate-chippancakes, picking out the perfectbackpack for the first day of school,or singing silly songs in the car couldturn out to be some of the mostmemorable highlights of your kids’childhood years. QUESTION: I've received a lot ofconflicting answers to the followingquestion: is the quality of time Ispend with my family more impor-tant than the quantity? What do yousay? ANSWER: We don't think so. Afew years ago family experts werepreaching that what's important is"quality time," not "quantity time."More recent research shows thatkids need both "quality" and "quan-tity" time with their parents. In fact,the more involved parents are with

their children - and the word "more"here is used with direct reference tothe concept of quantity - the lesslikely they are to have social, emo-tional, or academic problems, usedrugs or alcohol, become involved incrime, or engage in premarital sex. You have to bear in mind that it'snot always possible to plan meaning-ful interactions between parent andchild. Such serendipitous momentscan't be cooked up and crammed intoa few minutes of "quality time" everyday. Many critical opportunities toteach or model moral values maycatch you off-guard and will be gonein the blink of an eye. You can't seizethe moment if you're not there to dothe seizing. And that means spend-ing lots of "quantity" time togetherwith your kids. Without more detailed informa-tion about your family situation it'shard to know exactly what else totell you. But your inquiry leads us tobelieve that you may need to re-ex-amine your priorities. The very factthat you're thinking in terms of"quality" vs. "quantity" indicatesthat you're looking to justify spend-ing smaller amounts of time withyour family. Is this supposition any-where near the truth? If you're not sure, you can put thematter to the test by asking yourselfa few simple questions. Is your em-ployment outside the home a matter

of providing for basic needs, or areyou driven by materialistic desiresor a longing for personal signifi-cance? Are there any aspects of"maintaining a household" that youcan afford to sacrifice? Do you attacha greater value to status or appear-ance than to the well-being of thepeople with whom you share yourlife? After all, a spotless home isn'tnearly as important as a close rela-tionship with your spouse and chil-dren. Another suggestion: one of theeasiest ways to make more time forloved ones is to turn off the TV. Inthe average American home, the tel-evision is on 49 hours a week. Byway of contrast, the average amountof time that both parents spend inmeaningful conversation with theirchildren is 39 minutes a week. If youneed more time with your spouseand your kids, make the obviouschoice. Instead of watching TV, readtogether, play board games together,take a walk to a local park, or sit andtalk. If you have children, it's also im-portant to avoid the temptation toget them overly involved in activitiesoutside the home. Some parents feelpressure to sign their children up fornumerous sports teams, music anddance lessons, social clubs, and allkinds of community organizations.Don't fall prey to this mindset. Kidsdon't need a dozen different weeklyactivities. They need quality andquantity time with loving, involved,and committed parents.
