Dr Bleaux Johnson attends equine dentistry trainingRecently Dr. Bleaux Johnson at-nded an Equine Dental Confer-ce sponsored by Pfizer Animalealth in Rapid City SD. Veteri-rians from Montana, Wyoming,
orth Dakota and South Dakotaok part in a two day course thatvered dental radiology, examina-ns and dental correction proce-res. Many dental malformationsd problems go undetected for
years until it is too late for correc-tion and then they may need tohave teeth removed. Signs thatyour horse may need dental careare dropping grain during eating, drooling, foul odor coming fromthe mouth and weight loss. Settingup a routine annual examinationfor your horses teeth is the bestway to prevent abnormalities from
causing major dental problem foryour horses in the years to come.Earlier this year West River VetClinic purchased a power float tohelp provide additional dental careto their patients. If you have anyquestions regarding your horsesdental care or would like to sched-ule an appointment please call701-567-4333

Sentinel bill narrowly sent to Senateloor amid several questionsy Elizabeth Sam GroszThe controversial Sentinel billhich would allow local schoolards to put armed guards insidehools passed out of the Senateate Affairs Committee last week.
About 60 people were on hand ate meeting, despite snowandmited travel--in much of theate. Time constraints, however,mited the number of people tes-ying, as well as the length ofeir comments.The vote to send HB1087 to thenate floor as amended was 5-4.
his surprised many observersho had expected the vote to
wing the other way.The amendment removed an ad-tion made by the House that al-wed school boards to discuss andake a decision in executive ses-on to implement a sentinel pro-am.Sen. Mark Johnston, R-Sioux
alls, noted that such action
ould conflict with the existingen meeting statutes.Sen. Craig Tieszen, R-Rapidty, agreed, noting that it must bepublicly made decision, but after
that details could be handled inexecutive session as a personnelmatter.
The lines were still drawn in thetestimony between those who sup-ported the bill as necessary for
teacher and student safety, andthose who feared the presence ofguns 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 threatsin Rapid City following theColumbine school shooting in1999, Tieszen said, two were cred-ible and could have caused harm ifnot 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 presentedhis concept to the Legislative Re-
search Council in December andthe shootings took place two weekslater.
That, he said, confirmed therightness of this bill. Since then,he said, there have been four more
incidents seen nationally.Compelling opposition camefrom New Underwood School Su-perintendent Jeff Marlette, who isa retired Brigadier General whosaw combat.
Have we now reached a placethat our state has gotten so bad, sounsafe, Marlette asked, whereteachers need to carry guns? Heoutlined 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 to aninterim study topic.
Tieszen later called the so-called
hog house of the bill an am-bush, noting he had seen theamendment for exactly 32 min-utes during the meeting. Hecalled the attempt intensely dis-respectful.
That amendment was defeated.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 boards couldalready hire guards.
Chairman Larry Rhoden, R-Union Center, said the bills intenthas been blown out of proportion.He said it would allow the states152 school districts to decidewhether to participate in a sen-
tinel program.Rhoden called the program one
small step in the right direction.The bill now travels to the Sen-
ate floor for final legislative con-sideration.

Farm Credit Services of America(FCSAmerica), a financial cooper-ative with more than $19 billion inassets, today announced financialresults for the calendar year 2012.
Net income for 2012 was $481.1million compared to $456.4 millionfor 2011. The increase in net in-come primarily was due to interestincome from the growth in loanvolume, refunds of Farm Credit in-surance fund premiums paid inprior years, and program fees anddistributions received under theAgDirect trade credit financingprogram. Net income was partiallyoffset by an increase in the provi-sion for credit losses and an in-crease in noninterest expense forincreased staffing levels to supportbusiness initiatives and growth.
Loan volume increased to$18.490 billion from $15.891 bil-lion in 2011. Most of the increasecame in the real estate portfolio.
Members equity increased to$3.224 billion from $2.874 billion
at the end of 2011.Despite areas of drought, agri-culture in our four-state area con-tinued to grow and expand in2012, said Doug Stark, presidentand CEO. Producers financed

If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, 'You are mysecurity; if I have rejoiced over my great wealth, the fortune myhands had gained I would have been unfaithful to God on high.
(Job 31:24-25, 28 NAS)
There is no security in this world. Yet, we humans seem on aesperate search to find something on earth secure enough to buildour lives around. We look for permanent rain patterns and getdrought. We look for government help and get more taxes andcontrol. We look for a magic pill to keep us healthy and find our
arteries hardening and our cells mutating (cancer). We getsuckered into believing the commercials on TV and then are leftisillusioned and depressed because the new job or the new look or
the new relationship still leaves us feeling the pain of ournsecurity. And we learn once again just how insecure a place this
world really is.
Now, if we let ourselves learn from these experiences, we can find asecurity that is out of this world. But, it takes looking outside ofhis world to find any real security. Why? Because everything andveryone here will be taken from you if you are not taken from herefirst. Either way, the result is the same. For we brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.1Timothy 6:7 KJV) But, this need not upset us if we have placed
our hope and trust in the One who made the world and us.
Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot saveBlessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the
LORD his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, andeverything in them-- the LORD, who remains faithful forever.
(Psalm 146:3-6 NAS)

Educational sessions on long-term care options sc
The South Dakota Department ofSocial Services is hosting numerouseducational sessions across thestate this spring on long-term careand the Long-Term Care Partner-ship Program.
Planning for long-term careneeds before you need them is help-ful for you and your family, said
Kim Malsam-Rysdon, Secretary ofthe South Dakota Department ofSocial Services. I strongly encour-age South Dakotans to attend aneducational session on the Long-Term Care Partnership Program tolearn more about the options avail-able for themselves and their fam-ily members. A long-term care in-surance plan certified by the Long-Term Care Partnership Programbenefits people needing long termcare, their families, long term careproviders and the state's Medicaidprogram."
The Long-Term Care PartnershipProgram is a public-private part-nership that offers individualsquality, affordable long-term careinsurance without depleting theirassets. The South Dakota Depart-ment of Social Services began offer-ing educational sessions on the pro-gram in 2007 to raise awarenessabout long-term care insurance andthe benefits for South Dakotans.
The spring 2013 educational ses-sion schedule includes stops in sev-eral communities from Marchthrough May. Sessions will includebasic information on long-term
care, the costs related to it, how toplan for long-term care needs, whatMedicare and Medicaid will coverand how the Long-Term Care Part-nership Program can help. The ed-ucational sessions are open to thepublic. Each session is scheduledfor one hour.

Maintaining a Shelterbelt
By Robert Drown,Natural Resource Specialist
The method used to prepare foranting a new shelterbelt has at to do with future maintenance.llowing are three common
methods of shelterbelt site prepa-ration. 1. Tilling tearing up andfallowing the entire area wherethe trees are to be planted. Treesusually establish quicker with this
method with no competition. 2.Chemical fallowing with herbicidethe entire area the year beforeplanting. Trees are scalp plantedinto the sod. Trees will establishbut survivability varies. 3. Tillinga 10 wide strip and fallow for eachrow. Trees are planted and weedcontrol fabric laid. The vegetationbetween the rows remains helpingto prevent weed invasion.
Planting shelterbelts with a va-riety of species helps decrease dis-ease/ insect problems and extendsshelterbelt life and function. Someshrubs to consider are Silver Buf-faloberry, Chokecherry, RussianAlmond, Caragana, Sand Cherry,Nanking Cherry, Cotoneaster,Golden Currant, Hansen Hedge
Rose, Lilac and American Plum.Some mid-size trees to consider in-clude Amur Maple, Apricot,Crabapple, Arnold Hawthorne,Homestead Hawthorne, Tartarian
Maple and Russian Olive. Sometall trees to consider are Honeylo-cust, Hackberry, Golden Willow,Cottonwood, Kentucky CoffeeTree, Boxelder and Bur Oak.Some evergreen trees to considerare Meyers Spruce, Eastern RedCedar, Rocky Mountain Juniper,Austrian Pine, Ponderosa Pine,Scotch Pine and Black HillsSpruce.
Why do shelterbelts fail? Pri-marily due to moisture being at apremium in our sub-arid climate,heavy competition for that mois-ture is one of the main causes ofshelterbelt decline. SmoothBrome Grass is the worst culpritbut grasses in general are more ef-ficient competitors for moisture

than trees and shrubs. Weeds ofvarious types if not controlled robmoisture from shelterbelts. Oldage and death especially of short-lived tree species also occurs when
trees reach the end of their ex-pected lifespan.The main shelterbelt mainte-
nance methods are tilling, mow-ing, herbicides, weed control fab-ric and cover crops. Tilling elimi-nates weeds and grasses and al-lowing trees to establish. Mowersor Weed Badgers are often used bylandowners or hired done. Chem-icals are commonly used alone orin combination with other meth-ods. Sprays like Treflan and Prin-cep are used to maintain, or pre-vent competition from grasses andweeds within shelterbelts. Ca-soron is put around the holes infabric to keep weeds from growingaround trees and Roundup can beused for spot treatment weed con-
trol.Generally weed control fabric
has improved survival rates andincreased growth rates of treesand shrubs in our area. The fabricneeds to be cut in either an X orhalf moon pattern about a foot in
size at planting. holes need to be eroom for tree growon the holes willarged again or

I believe Ill write some Celticmusic, said Dud one morning atthe world dilemma think tankdown at the coffee shop. Ive been
studying it.I didnt know you were Celtic,Steve said.
Im not, but I do get occasionalbouts of depression and that qual-ifies me. Ive thought about it a lot.Maybe they sing that way becausethey dont have sunsets like we do,or because the horses run aroundthe racetrack the wrong direction.All I know is, after two hours ofCeltic music, circus clowns wouldlook at each other and say Whybother?But writing Celtic music should
be fairly easy. To start with, justfind a girl who has a voice like amouse caught in an echo chamberor empty septic tank, then you addin some stringed instruments and
a flute played by someone whosedog just died. You start out by hav-ing the singer say how much sheloves the guy despite her condi-tion, and we know what conditionthat is, right? Those Celts are try-ing to outnumber the sheep again.

South Dakota Farm Bureau young farmers & ranchersxcel at National Leadership Conference
Young members of the Southakota Farm Bureau received hon-s at the American Farm Bureaustional Young Farmers & Ranch-s Leadership Conference heldbruary 8-12 in Phoenix.Two South Dakota State Univer-y students competed in the na-nal Collegiate Farm Bureau Dis-ssion Meet and advanced to theweet 16 round, one step awayom the Final Four round wheree winner is chosen. Bailey Hurl-rt, a junior Ag Education and Agmmunications major from Ray-
ond, S.D., and John Weber, aphomore Animal Science majorm Sanborn, M.N., won the SDSUllegiate Farm Bureau Discussioneet last November and were cho-n to represent South Dakota atis national contest. Southakota was one of only two statesadvance both of their competitorsthe Sweet 16 round, and Baileyd John were the first Collegiate
rm Bureau members from Southakota to ever make it this far ine competition.Bailey and John both did an out-anding job in the Collegiate Farmureau Discussion Meet, saidott VanderWal, President of theuth Dakota Farm BureauDFB) from Volga, S.D. Theyere definitely among the top con-stants there in Phoenix.
The Discussion Meet contest isdesigned to simulate a committeemeeting where discussion and ac-tive participation are expected fromeach participant. The meet is eval-uated on an exchange of ideas andinformation on a pre-determinedagricultural topic, with the judgeslooking for constructive criticism,cooperation and communication.SDSU Collegiate Farm Bureau isan affiliate of the South DakotaFarm Bureau and its Young Farm-ers & Ranchers program designedfor those 18 to 35 years of age.
On February 9 at the nationalYF&R Leadership Conference,Travis Gebhart of Meadow, S.D.,graduated from the Partners in
Agricultural Leadership (PAL) pro-gram, an advanced leadership de-velopment training programthrough the American Farm Bu-reau Federation (AFBF). Eachstate Farm Bureau is able to nomi-nate one candidate each year to the
PAL program, and only 10 partici-pants are chosen nationwide by
AFBF for each class. Participantsare selected based on their leader-ship ability and Farm Bureau in-volvement.
I would like to congratulateTravis on his successful completionof the PAL program, VanderWaladded. The experience and leader-ship skills he has gained the last
two years are second to none andwill serve him well as he continuesto be a leader for the agriculture in-dustry.
During the two-year PAL pro-gram, Gebhart traveled to New
York City, Washington, D.C., St.Louis and Phoenix to study agricul-tural issues in-depth and to receivemedia, advocacy and leadershiptraining. Travis is the president ofthe Perkins County Farm Bureauand he and his wife, Renae, arepast Chairs of the SDFB YoungFarmers & Ranchers Committee.
Partners in Agricultural Leader-ship puts a new perspective on theworld. The media training in New
York City was a real eye-opener forthis West River cattle rancher,Travis Gebhart commented. Iwant to stay involved in my countyFarm Bureau, on the state board,and never stop growing and learn-ing.
In December, Travis and Renae
were elected to serve on the AFBFYoung Farmers & Ranchers Com-mittee, a national honor based ontheir leadership abilities and FarmBureau involvement. They willserve on the YF&R Committee from2013 to 2015. The couple ranchesnear Meadow, S.D., and have threeyoung children.

We have now completed the 8theek of legislative session- thusmpleting 32 of the 38 days sched-ed. Nearly 500 bills were intro-ced this year and we are nowwn to under 100 active bills left.
here are 47 bills that are still ac-e in the House and 54 active billsthe Senate. So far, the Governors signed 28 bills into law.
We have dealt with a multitudeissues over the past 8 weeks andve spent hundreds of hours facil-
ating public hearings where allizens have had the opportunity
to participate in the democraticprocess for creating laws. Not allbills pass, however ALL citizenshave had the opportunity to beheard.
This week is the final week ofSession and unlike Washington DC,we will balance the state budget.Because of the fiscal restraint wehave implemented over the past
several years our fiscal house is inorder and we are well positioned tobalance our budget this year with-out raising taxes and without cut-ting government services.
The budget will prioritize educa-tion funding in our state. In fact,nearly 50% of the budget will bespent on education funding. It willalso prioritize funding to take careof people which will consist ofnearly 40% of the budget and in-cludes Medicaid spending. 10% ofthe budget will be spent on protect-ing the public and money spent onthe rest of government will equalabout 5%.
As we review the revenue projec-tions that will impact our statebudget we are continuing to con-
sider the impacts of the sequestra-tion. The current impact to the SDstate budget could be a loss of about$24 million a year in federal funds.The state-by-state reports released
by the White House are full of num-bers about funding cuts for schools,defense, public health, law enforce-ment and social services any ofwhich could be true if Congress andObama fail to act.
Some of the most dire WhiteHouse predictions are about educa-tion funding. However, the WhiteHouse doesnt mention: Those cuts
wouldnt actually kick in until thenext school year. Thats becausethose two programs Title I aid todisadvantaged students and spe-cial-education aid under the Indi-viduals with Disabilities Education
Act are funded in advance, sotheyre already covered for thisschool year.
The bottom line on sequestrationis that the cuts will be real; how-ever, they will not be nearly as dev-astating as the media is leadingpeople to believe.
Some of the highlights of the pastweek include:Progress is being made on eco-nomic development and job cre-ation plan. HB 1161 will help pro-mote expansion of existing SD busi-
nesses and provide incentives fornew businesses that will create
jobs. The bill passed the House 63-6 with bipartisan support and isnow in the Senate.
The Senate also passed SB 237to establish a needs-based scholar-ship, referred to as the DakotaDream Scholarship, with unani-mous support. This scholarship isdesigned to help students who wantto attend college or technical schoolwith some much needed help.
The House also passed HB1061with near unanimous support. The
bill will enable South Dakota to getin on the captive insurance indus-try. It would allow a corporation toself-insure, using its own revenuesand setting up its own insurancecompany. It would then pay premi-ums into that company. Captive in-surance might be used by a largecorporation that has difficulty find-ing an insurance company willingto insure for industry-specific fac-tors.
In the Senate Commerce Com-mittee this Friday we passed outHouse Bill 1142 on a vote of 5 ayeto 2 nay. HB 1142, sates that nohealth insurer, including the SouthDakota Medicaid program andMedicare, may obstruct patientchoice by excluding a health care
provider licensed under the laws ofthis state from participating on thehealth insurer's panel of providersif the provider is located within thegeographic coverage area of the

ep. Betty Olson
March 8 is the last day of the 2013gislative session, with March 25t as Veto Day when legislators gock to Pierre to decide if we want toerride any of the governors ve-es. It was refreshing to see thate world did not come to an endarch 1st when sequestrationcked in, in spite of the dire predic-ns President Obama made whenngress refused to cave in to his de-
ands to raise your taxes evengher to prevent sequestration fromcurring.Even though sequestration wass idea, Obama is blaming Con-ess for the measly 85 billion dollarcrease in projected federal spend-g, a reduction of just 2.4 percent!e ignores the 600 billion dollars inx increases that Congress gavem in the fiscal cliff negotiations innuary in return for zero cuts toending and the one trillion dollarsnew taxes for ObamaCare, but
xpayers have certainly noticed thet to their pocketbooks. Six trillionllars has been added to the na-
tional debt under this administra-tion and if this is the only way tostop the spending, Im all for it!Check out our ballooning nationaldebt here: http://usdebtclock.org/ butdont do it at bedtime or youll neverget to sleep.
Meanwhile, back in South Dakota,these bills passed the House thisweek:
SB 151 clarifies the maintenanceresponsibilities on unimproved sec-
tion lines.SB 86 increases the minimum
salary payable to county officials,state's attorneys, and sheriffs.
SB 156 authorizes townshipboards to increase the front foot as-sessment for road maintenance, re-pairs, and improvements and to re-vise certain provisions concerningroad districts established by town-ships.
SB 88 authorizes the county todeny bids on county sales of tax deedproperties if the bidder is not cur-rent on property taxes due.
SB 145 revises provisions concern-ing the content of annual propertytax bill.
SB 96 exempts school districtsfrom the requirement to reorganizedue to low enrollment.
SB 190 makes an appropriation tofund tax refunds for elderly personsand persons with a disability, to re-vise the income eligibility require-ments for property and sales tax re-funds, and to declare an emergency.
SB 39 establishes a penalty for ajuvenile convicted as an adult of aClass Aor B felony and allows a sen-tence of up to life imprisonmentafter a sentencing hearing.
SB 168 requires that newborns bescreened for congenital heart de-fects.
SB 205 is my bill to put wolves onthe predator list. It wont apply tothe western Dakotas until the feds
remove them from the endangeredspecies list, which theyve promisedto do so this month. Lets hope theydo it.

SB 83 designates Welcome HomeVietnam Veterans Day as a workingholiday. Rep. Elizabeth May had herseatmate, Rep. Brock Greenfield,read a touching tribute to herbrother Sam Marty, who is a deco-rated Vietnam veteran. Liz wasraised on the Marty ranch south ofthe Slim Buttes where Sam stilllives and our fathers grew up to-gether. Its a good thing she didntask me to read the tribute to Sambecause I could not have made itthrough without tearing up. EvenBrock struggled with it and he does-nt even know Sam!
