Rodeo News, meet the member Veryl Prokop

Ruth Nicolaus, Rodeo Newsreprinted with permission

Veryl Prokop’s life centeredaround kids, horses, cattle, androdeo. The Kadoka, S.D. man, amember of the National Inter-Col-legiate Rodeo Association Alumni,taught school for 37 years, started

his cow herd when he was 12, com-peted in and announced rodeos incollege and after, and owned aherd of brood mares. He was born in 1936, and twelveyears later, thought he had thebest the world offered when hewon fifty cents for the calf ridingand a dollar for second place in the

pony race at a local Fourth of Julyrodeo. As a teenager, Veryl roped in theSunday afternoon roping club, andwhen his cousin gave him a bullrope, his mother wasn’t pleased.Veryl was drafted into the Armythe autumn after high school grad-uation in 1954. He served twoyears, and when he came home,began as a student at SouthDakota State University. A neigh-bor helped him build a one-horsetrailer onto a Model T frame, andVeryl began college rodeo in thetie-down roping, ribbon roping,bulldogging, and the occasionalbull ride. He was president of theSDSU Rodeo Club his junior year,and manager of the college’s rodeo,the Jackrabbit Stampede, his sen-ior year. His senior year, he wascommissioned by the university’spresident to put the rodeo in theblack, or the club would be dis-banded. Veryl, with help from hisclub members, had a permanentarena and lights put in, and pro-duced a successful rodeo. After graduation in 1961, he ranan artificial insemination businessand then began teaching school inthe fall of 1962. Since then, he’staught everything from first gradeto college kids. Veryl spent 34years in the Kadoka School Dis-trict, but also taught area schools

as well. In 1986, he got his mas-ter’s degree in agricultural educa-tion and began the FFA programat Kadoka. In 1965, he married a formerSouth Dakota High School RodeoAll-Around hand, Marilyn Knapp.Their goal was to have a herd of500 mother cows and a band ofbrood mares, and they accom-plished that before Marilyn’s un-timely death in 2008. He and Marilyn had two chil-dren, Tammy and Charlie. Tammyshowed horses, and Charlie roped.Charlie and his dad still rope to-gether. Veryl and Marilyn made surethe rodeo kids at Kadoka and thesurrounding communities weretaken care of, because when hewas young, someone took care ofVeryl. “When I was in college, Ididn’t hardly have a dime to myname,” he remembers. On week-ends, he and his college buddies:Jim Korkow, Kenny Sutton, JuniorBachand and Bill Stearns wouldgo to the Korkow Ranch, whereErv Korkow, Jim’s dad, put themto work but made sure they gotpaid. “He helped me out,” Veryl re-members. “I said to myself, if Iever get the chance to help kids,I’m going to. I returned the favor.”Veryl retired from teaching in1998, and takes care of his own

cow herd while helping friends andneighbors. He survived a severecase of stomach cancer in 2007,which ended his riding of greencolts. He and Marilyn bought theirhome, a ranch one mile north ofKadoka, in 1970, and since then,it’s been a rest stop for weary rodeotravelers. When high school rodeocontestants headed to National Fi-nals on the west coast or in RapidCity, entire rodeo teams wouldstay at the Prokop place. If some-one comes to town and needs aplace for their horse to be put up

overnight, the local motel ownerssend them to Veryl’s. “Anybodywho’s a cowboy or cowgirl andneeds a place to stay, they’re wel-come at the ranch here, anytime.They can sleep in their campers,and then come in and have break-fast with us the next morning.” Rodeo’s been good to Veryl, andhe’s appreciative. “I’ve made a lotof friends with rodeo. I was nevera world champion, but we havetwo trophy cases full of trophiesand ribbons, Marilyn and the kids’things. I’ve met some wonderfulpeople.”

Sarah DeVriesThe Jackson County Board of

Commissioners held its Februarymeeting on Monday, February 9,starting at 9:00 a.m. All boardmembers were present.

The board approved the previ-ous meeting’s minutes and the fi-nancial report. Bills and voucherswere signed throughout the courseof the meeting.

In the sheriff ’s report, RayClements, Jr., discussed some ofthe legislation that could raiseconcerns with law enforcement:HB 1096 seeks to revise certainprocedures for issuing a concealedweapons permit. Clements ex-pressed concern that a person,having subjected to a NICS check,would not have to do so again forfive years even if they get arrestedfor a violent crime within thattime frame. The Juvenile ReformBill was also discussed; thecounty’s concern is how much ofthe cost of reform will be placed onthe individual counties. Clementsreported that deputy Josh Nisenwill be able to attend the springstandards starting in March. Theboard also approved Clements toattend the sheriffs’ conferencesApril 22 - 24 and September 23 -25.

In the board of equalization re-

port, Rose Bennett reported thatthe office computer is shuttingdown when she tries to use theUSB port. The hard drive is stillunder warranty. The board movedto shedule a repair. Bennett andDan Van Gorp were also broughtin to discuss Lot 20, Block 2, inWanblee. The person paying thetaxes on the lot does not live on thelot and never filed a deed of own-ership, and the last official deededowner was a banking associationthat went defunct several decadesago. The board asked if legally, thecounty could allow the taxes tolapse and put the lot up for auc-tion. Van Gorp said he thoughtthey could but that more researchwould need to be done. No motionwas made.

Vicki Wilson presented the cashbalances report. The estimatedCost Price Index for taxes payablein 2016 is 1.5%. Wilson stated thatthe abatements were not done yet.

In road matters, Larry Deanwith the Department of Transpo-ration presented the administra-tive systems map for the countyroads. Some roads, including Stan-ford, Long Valley, and Allen Road,which were thought to be classi-fied as primary county highways,are officially mapped as secondarycounty highways. The county

would need a resolution to changethe status of these roads, androads being removed from primarystatus must be advertised with anotice of intent. Dean said thatSTP funding would not change if aroad status changes from second-ary to primary.

Doug Kinniburgh, also withDOT, distributed info packets onroad funds and funding assis-tance. Cliff Breuer distributed con-tact info on the LocalTransportation Assistance Pro-gram (LTAP).

The board met with Van Gorpand Derek McTeigh of Brosz Engi-neering for an unclarified execu-tive session. The board also metwith Clements in executive ses-sion to discuss personnel.

In additional road matters theboard moved to purchase cuttingedges off of the Beadle CountyCulvert & Material bid. AaronRichardson reported that the M2,which was still under warranty, isreturned and back in use. Therewas discussion of potential futuregravel pit locations and anothermeeting to further discuss roads,gravel and bid letting was sched-uled for Wednesday, February 18,at 1:00 p.m.

Robyn Jones A number of new faces will beseen in the halls next year at theschools within the Kadoka AreaSchool District. Several resigna-tions were accepted from staff atthe board meeting that was heldon Wednesday, February 11 at theLong Valley School. Resignations for retirementswere accepted from Nancy Wellerand Ruth McCubbin; along withresignations from Becky Keeganand Deeta Terkildsen. Besidesthese positions that will open atthe end of the school year, theboard approved to advertise for anart teacher, an athletic directorand to change the Title 1 positionto full time for next year.

Administrative contracts wereoffered to Jamie Hermann, GeorgeSeiler, Jeff Nemecek, Chad Eisen-braun, Jo Beth Uhlir, Karen Byrd,and Eileen Stolley. A contract wasapproved for Bonnie Madsen as in-structional aide at Interior at$9.00 per hour. Parents in attendance ad-dressed the board concerning therotation of textbooks for English,vocab, and literature between theLong Valley, Midland and InteriorSchools for grades sixth, seventhand eighth. The material is dis-tributed by grade levels, so all stu-dents in those three grades studythe same level. This year, theeighth grade material is at theLong Valley School, so students in

the sixth grade are completingwork that is geared for an eighthgrade student. Through the rota-tion, it would also mean that whenthis year’s sixth grade studentsreach the eighth grade, they wouldbe completing work for a sixthgrade student. “This is a valid concern andneeds to looked at,” said Elemen-tary Principal Jeff Nemecek. The school calendar for 2014-2015 was approved with startingdate for students on August 24 andending on May 19. The next board meeting will beon Wednesday, March 11 withtribal parents meeting at 5:30 p.m.and the business meeting to followat 6:00 p.m. in Kadoka.

Prayer

I didn’t go to church this morning,but I did pray some anyway. Themain reason for the prayer is thatson Chance is once again in thehospital and needs all the help hecan get. Our prayers and those ofmany others are quite possiblywhy our boy is still with us. Thisapplies, not only now, but to sev-eral occasions in the past.

This time around started nearlytwo weeks ago now when our boyshowed various flu-like symptomssuch as vomiting and the like. Itprobably wasn’t flu since it re-sponded somewhat to antibioticswhich viruses don’t particularly.The symptoms, however, weresimilar. Things got bad enoughthat it seemed best to Doctor Klop-per that Chance be admitted toour small hospital at Philip. Vari-ous nurses doted quite a bit on ourguy there, and he made some im-provement.

On Tuesday, however, Chancestarted laboring somewhat tobreathe. We weren’t quite surewhat was going on, but, when wifeCorinne mentioned this to nurseKrista, she did. After checkingthings out a little, she called Dr. Kwho came on a run. Chance hadgone into a myasthenia crisiswhich can be fatal if not treatedright away and even sometimesthen. For those who aren’t famil-iar with myasthenia gravis, let meexplain that it is a condition wherethe body manufactures antibodiesthat interfere with messages fromthe brain to the muscles. This mayresult in drooping eyelids, generalweakness, and so on. If it gets badenough, it can affect the musclesinvolved with breathing and stopthe breathing altogether. This hashappened to Chance in the past

and is very scary indeed.As a result, Chance and

Corinne were soon on an airplaneheaded west close to a hundredmiles to a larger hospital that hadventilators and other equipmentfor dealing with such a crisis. Thiswas speeded along by a wholebevy of nurses and others who sur-rounded us, accompanied us to theairport, and were right there tohelp. After the rush to the airport,I followed by car, and, when I gotto the larger hospital, Chance wasalready in the intensive-care unitwith a ventilator standing nearby.Our boy was still breathing on hisown, but he was having a hardtime. Eventually they connectedthe ventilator which gave some re-lief from the labored breathing.This was important in that re-peated strenuous exertion intensi-fies the effects of myasthenia andmakes it worse.

Well, things got better and wecould soon see some improvement.That was in part probably due toa medicine that had given our guyleg cramps previously but now, insmaller doses, managed to do goodthings. Another regular treatmentthat had been given a week previ-ously (IVIG) might have alsokicked in. In any event, Chancestarted relating to us againwhereas he didn’t respond muchwhen things were really bad. In aday or two, he started smilingmore and even occasionally teas-ing us. This was nice to see. Yes-terday, then, our boy was movedfrom the original ICU to what theycall the “transitional ICU.” Inother words, he had improved anddidn’t need quite so much constantattention. Again, we have encoun-tered a bunch of excellent doctorsand nurses who are trying hard to

make things better. They seem tobe succeeding, and we have hopeof getting out of here before toomuch longer. They are still treat-ing another bug with IV antibi-otics which will take a few days tocomplete, but we may be able tomove back to our local hospital oreven home to finish them up. Timewill tell on that one, but there isdefinitely hope. We currently alsohave some issues with Chance’sstomach tube that need to be re-solved which isn’t happening hereon a weekend, but tomorrow, Mon-day, may see some action.

Meanwhile, Corinne and I aretaking turns tending at the hospi-tal and getting rest at a motel. Wehave done this before and knowthe drill. I generally draw theovernight duty since I can sleepanywhere which is not so muchthe case with Corinne. On a previ-ous similar instance, I figured howto use several pillows to evenmake it possible to get good rest inone of those awful hospital reclin-ing chairs. Those dreadful thingshave hard wooden armrests andstrong springs that tend to snapyou back upright if you try to re-cline. Since I have been known tosleep through thunderstorms, acacophony of bings and bongs frommonitors and other equipmentdoes not disturb me in the leastonce I get to sleep. Getting to sleepdoesn’t take long either since thishospital duty tends to be tiring.

That, then, is how things aregoing at the moment. We continueto be quite hopeful that Chancewill come through this currenttrouble okay, and we certainly ap-preciate the work of so many peo-ple and the multitude of prayersthat have been sent up. Thanks somuch.

Another Effort To Be EvenBetter Stewards

The word that best sums up thepublic trust held by all officials isstewardship.Stewardship – thecareful and responsible manage-ment of something entrusted toone'scare – has been my goal overthese past four years.

Good stewardship brought ourbudget into structural balancefour years ago. It has beengoodstewardship, each year thereafter,to project our revenues and ex-penses with caution, so if weerred, we would err on the side ofa surplus not a deficit. It was anexercise of careful and responsiblemanagement when, after receiv-ing an unexpectedwindfall lastyear, we used the money to retirebonds early and to pay cash forour newveterans’ home ratherthan borrowing.

In another effort to improvestewardship of taxpayer dollars, Ihave initiated a new state debtpolicy this year.

Our Constitution prohibitsdebt. To finance construction proj-

ects and manage large outflows offunds, the South Dakota BuildingAuthority and South DakotaHealth and Educational FacilitiesAuthority were created. These en-tities issue and refinance bonds topay for things like state park proj-ects, the buildings at the behav-ioral health center in Yankton andpublic university projects. Long-term leases between the state andthese authorities retire the bondsthat are issued.

Last year, I asked the Bureau ofFinance and Management to cre-ate a new debt limitation andmanagement policy to guide boththe management of existing debtand the issuance of new debtthrough these authorities. Underthis new policy, total debt cannotexceed 1.2 percent of the state’sGDP and total annual debt servicepayments cannot exceed 4 percentof the ongoing general fund rev-enue from the previous fiscal year.

We were well below theseboundaries at the end of FiscalYear 2014, with the total out-standing debt as a percentage ofstate GDP at 0.8 percent and an-

nual debt service payments as apercentage of ongoing generalfund revenue at 2.9 percent.

In January, the LieutenantGovernor and Commissioner of Fi-nance and Management traveledto New York City to share this newdebt policy with ratings agencies.When Standard & Poor’s revisedSouth Dakota’s outlook from sta-ble to positive last summer, theratings agency encouraged SouthDakota to continue to improve ouralready strong fiscal position. I ap-preciate a good credit rating be-cause it saves the state money, butI also appreciate that outside ex-perts are endorsing the strength ofthe decisions we have made.

The principle of stewardship –careful and responsible manage-ment – will continue to bemy goalfor the next four years. We won'tspend money we don't have. Wewill keep ourbudget in structuralbalance. We will be frugal, notcheap, and seize opportunitiestospend in the short term where itcan lead to savings, efficiencies orbetter government inthe longterm.

Providing Regulatory Relief for CommunityBanks

Small main-street banks arecritical to the success of smallbusinesses in South Dakota. Theyoffer loans to farmers and supportour small businesses that providegood jobs and essential services toall corners of our state. Oftentimes, they also serve as commu-nity centers where birthdays, an-niversaries, town meetings andother gatherings are held and life-long memories are created. We un-derstand that the longevity andprosperity of community banksare essential.

Recently, financial institutionshave been hounded by onerousrules and regulations, especiallysmall community banks. Withmore than 6,500 communitybanks throughout the countrysupporting even the remotestareas, the federal governmentmust make sure it is enabling, nothindering, their ability to functionproperly. Almost half of smallbusinesses, which we all know arethe driver of job creation and eco-nomic growth in America, are sup-ported by small community banks.Providing these institutions withregulatory relief is critical.

We recently examined ways we

can help community banks duringa two-part hearing in the SenateBanking, Housing and Urban Af-fairs Committee. During thehearings, we specifically focusedon the need to roll back some ofthe regulations in the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law. Dodd-Frank was intended to clean upthe mess caused by the housing fi-nance collapse which had nothingto do with community banks. Un-fortunately, this has hit smallbanks with unnecessary regula-tory roadblocks.

In the first part of our hearing,we questioned the regulators re-sponsible for implementing theserules for community banks. I chal-lenged officials concerning bur-densome paperworkrequirements. Currently, financialinstitutions are required to file pe-riodic financial and other informa-tion with their respectiveregulators. These forms are cur-rently 80 pages long and containmore than 670 pages of instruc-tion material. Complying with thispaperwork has been increasinglydifficult for smaller banks with in-herently fewer resources. I waspleased to hear many of the wit-nesses agree that reforms are nec-essary to ease these regulatoryburdens.

The second part of the hearingincluded testimony from commu-nity bankers. They offered addi-tional insight on how we can bestprovide relief from some of theoutdated and unnecessary regula-tions, and how specifically theyhave hindered their ability to beeffective. The bottom line is this: ifbanks are going to be subject to amore intrusive regulatory environ-ment, those costs will eventuallybe passed down to the consumer.And if community banks are putat a competitive disadvantage,then consumers – including manySouth Dakotans – would have lessflexibility and fewer choices whenit comes to financial decisions.This ultimately bogs down eco-nomic activity, beginning at thelocal level.

Small community banks don’tthink of banking in terms of ‘deriv-atives’ and ‘default swaps’ likethey do on Wall Street; they thinkof banks in terms of how they canbest serve their communities –their friends, neighbors, storeowners and job providers. I whole-heartedly support efforts to pro-vide them with regulatory reliefand separate them from WallStreet banks. I will continue toseek ways to do so as a member ofthe Senate Banking Committee.

Port Disruptions CausingChallenges for SouthDakota Ag Producers andRetailers

A reliable and efficient supplychain is critical to our nation’sglobal competitiveness. Our portsare a vital link in that chain, butunfortunately, some of the biggestchallenges at our ports are self-im-posed and are having major reper-cussions across the country,including South Dakota. The cur-rent delays and disruptionscaused by labor disputes in theWest Coast ports have directlyharmed exports, product availabil-ity, and jobs in South Dakota. Inparticular, South Dakota’s farm-ers, ranchers, retailers, andhouseholds are bearing the costsof these labor slowdowns.

On February 10, 2015, the Sen-ate Commerce Subcommittee onSurface Transportation and Mer-chant Marine Infrastructure,Safety, and Security held a hear-ing about the challenges the portsslowdown are causing across thecountry. As chairman of the Com-merce Committee and as a mem-ber of the Senate AgricultureCommittee, I’ve been monitoringthe ports disputes and have heardfrom a number of South Dakotansabout how the disruptions in serv-ice continue to directly impact

their businesses.At the hearing, Cargill testified

that lost sales and unnecessaryport charges are costing our na-tion’s meat and poultry industryover $40 million per week andjeopardizing relationships with in-ternational customers. I have alsoheard from Tyson Fresh Meats,based in Dakota Dunes, whichshared with me that its beef andpork is sitting in freezers near theports instead of heading to Asianmarkets, while 30 to 40 large con-tainer ships are sitting off thecoast waiting to export our na-tion’s premium products. TysonFresh Meats has 41,000 teammembers, and the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture reports thatagricultural exports support overone million full-time U.S. jobs.These delays, which have beengoing on since last summer, arehaving a real impact on jobs andour economy.

The disruption is also hurtingconsumers and retailers, whichoften import a substantial portionof merchandise through the WestCoast ports. Outdoor Gear Inc., afamily-owned winter apparelwholesaler based in Sioux Falls,moves about 95 percent of its in-ventory through West Coast portsand has been forced to miss dead-lines, pay late-delivery penalties,and pass up important sales op-

portunities, including in Decem-ber during the peak holiday sea-son. In fact, BNSF railroadtestified at the hearing that theyhave been forced to cut weeklytrain service to ports in half from60 trains per week to 30 trains.This dramatic reduction in serviceunderscores the ripple effects thatare being felt across the country.

While our nation’s businessesare dynamic and adaptable, thissituation cannot go on indefinitely,and we cannot continue to expectour businesses and households toabsorb the unnecessary costs ofdelays. Congestion and labor dis-putes in our ports are causing alarge drain on our nation’s econ-omy and will take months to un-wind.

While this has been on-goingsince late last summer, I urge allsides in the dispute to come to-gether and find a long-term solu-tion as soon as possible. This alsorequires the president and the ad-ministration to get actively in-volved to resolve this impasse. Aschairman of the Commerce Com-mittee, I will continue to highlightthe direct impact this slowdown iscausing businesses in SouthDakota and across the countryand I am committed to workingwith all parties to get this vitallink in our nation’s supply chainback on track.

Legislation and Leadership

It’s that time of year when Ihave the opportunity to addressthe South Dakota State Legisla-ture – a body I was once a part of.When I meet with them thisThursday, I’ll be talking a lotabout opportunity and the stateand federal collaboration thatmust occur to ensure every hard-working South Dakotan has thechance to get ahead.

Today, South Dakota sits as anexample for the nation, due in

part to the commonsense policiesthat come out of the state legisla-ture year after year. We have oneof the lowest unemployment ratesin the country and consistentlyearn recognition as the one of thebest states to do business. Wekeep our taxes low and minimizethe regulatory burden on familyfarms and job creators. We putSouth Dakotans in control of theirfuture and we’ve flourished as aresult. I was proud to play a rolein facilitating that kind of econ-omy as a member of the SouthDakota State House and I’m work-ing hard to bring those same val-ues to the U.S. Congress.

There’s a lot of work that mustbe done – on both the state andthe federal level. Our budgetsmust get balanced. Infrastruc-ture projects must be funded.Human trafficking has to bestopped. The federal tax codemust be simplified. Trade agree-ments must be signed. And toachieve any of it, common ground

must be found. That will requirestrong leadership.

This week, we celebrate thebirthday of one of our nation’sstrongest leaders, PresidentGeorge Washington. He remindedus that, “Liberty, when it begins totake root, is a plant of rapidgrowth.” To produce real results,we need to start with an under-standing that neither the state northe federal government builds aneconomy or creates jobs. Peopledo. When lawmakers sign a bill,they aren’t signing a paycheck.They’re simply helping to createan environment where if you workhard and play by the rules, youwill get ahead. This is the mes-sage I’ll be sharing with the statelegislature this week.

It’s hard to believe it’s beenmore than five years since I repre-sented District 6 in the SouthDakota House of Representatives.It’s an experience – and a lesson inleadership – that I carry with meto this day.

Session passed the half way-point this week and the pace ismoving very quickly now. Over thepast week, substantial debate fo-cused on legislation regardingguns abortion, death penalty,highway funding, taxes and a bal-anced budget amendment. Educa-tion funding is also a major topicof discussion. So far the Governorhas signed 16 bills into law andadditional 16 are on his desk wait-ing for approval. On Tuesday the House passedHB 1179 with a vote of 63-4, a billto change the definition of a vet-eran so South Dakota members ofthe National Guard and Reservewould become classified as veter-ans in state law regardless ofwhether or not they have seen ac-tive duty. I was one of the four thatvoted against this bill. The defini-tion of a veteran is seasoned,adept, expert, well trained, prac-ticed, experienced, senior andmost importantly, battle scarred.Changing the definition of a vet-eran seemed to send the wrongmessage. On Wednesday, the Senatepassed SB 1 with a vote of 26-8.Senate Bill 1 is the legislation thatwas originally introduced by thesummer study task force chairedby Senator Vehle. The bill wasamended to more closely reflectthe bill introduced by Governor

Daugaard (HB 1131). House Bill1131 is schedule for hearing inHouse State Affairs next Wednes-day, February 18. I encourage allof you to read both of these bills.I’m having a very hard time sup-porting either one. This week HB 1148 passed outof the House Education on con-sent. This bill will require schooldistricts to report each month ofthe fiscal year, the month-end bal-ances of the school district’s gen-eral fund, capital outlay fund,pension fund, and special educa-tion fund. I support transparencyfor the taxpayers of South Dakotaand for the legislators. I spendmany hours looking at balancesheets regarding education expen-ditures. This will be another toolin the war chest to hold everyoneaccountable. A lot of people have been claim-ing the state has tons of money inreserves that could be spent to in-crease education funding or to ex-pand Medicaid. The money theyclaim being hoarded is locked inreserve funds that were set up forthe purpose of providing guaran-teed revenue for certain purposesthat will benefit future genera-tions for years to come. Moreover,the taxpayers voted to put themoney into the “lock box” reserveaccounts in order to prevent politi-cians from spending it… because

when it is spent, it is gone and willno longer provide annual revenuefrom interest. I to, would like tospend more on schools and Medi-caid, but we all know that we can’tspend money we don’t have. The real rainy day funds totalabout $150 million. The budget re-serve is about $105 million. Theproperty tax reduction fund isabout $44 million. Those are com-bined and referred to as “rainy dayfunds” or “reserve funds.” That’sonly about 12% of our annual ex-penses, and that’s what we setaside for emergencies like the 2011floods. It’s responsible manage-ment to hold some money in re-serve for such emergencies. As always you can contact me atthe House Chamber number 773-3851. Leave a phone number andI'll call you back. The fax numberis 773-6806. If you send a fax, ad-dress it to Rep. Elizabeth May. Youcan also email me [email protected] during ses-sion.

We have now finished the fifthweek of the Session. Bills are beingheard in a steady stream on com-mittees as we approach cross-overday on Feb. 25. That’s the day whenall bills must clear one legislativebody before going to the other bodyfor their consideration. I sit on Sen-ate Judiciary and we heard SB 192which would allow the sergeants atarms the right to have concealedweapons in the Capitol. It passed 5-2 and only Sen. Troy Heinert and Iopposed it. I felt that this particularbill was particularly offensive inthat the main sponsor suggestedthat the Capitol police were notable to protect us. It was opposedby the Highway Patrol who protectsthe Capitol. While I agree that we can andshould continue to talk about secu-rity in the State Capitol, I feel thatCapitol Security is adequate. Thereare both uniformed and plainclothes security officers in the Capi-tol and a security protocol which Itrust to keep us safe. To suggestotherwise is to believe that Capitolpolice don’t do their jobs. When I explained my opposition,I reminded other committee mem-bers that many organizations havesergeants at arms who are neverthought of as armed guards. Atboth Tribal Council meetings andVeteran’s meetings for example,there are sergeant at arms. I alsofelt that the proponent testimonywas not prepared well. None of thecurrent sergeant at arms or eventhe Attorney General testified. I feltmost strongly that this legislationwas an insult to highway patrol of-ficers who serve in the Capitol. Ihave a nephew who is a highwaypatrolman and I know and respect

the type of work they do. I believethat this ill-advised vote by Repub-licans on the Senate Judiciary ispurely political. They might be try-ing to get an A+ rating with theNRA, but it is a political stunt morethan an honest attempt to keep ussafe. It is certainly not a vote of con-fidence in the abilities of our Capi-tol police or the current safetyprocedures we have in place. I sin-cerely hope that more reasonableminds will come to bear on thisissue on the Senate floor. An important issue throughoutthe Session is our continuing dis-cussion on roads and bridges. Sen-ate Bill 1 is the Governor’s versionof the Highway bill. There was asummer task force on highwayneeds which met in six communi-ties with over 120 different individ-uals testifying. The Task Forcerecommended $100 million, whilethe Governor has asked for $50 mil-lion. The need is likely obvious toanyone who has followed the testi-mony on this legislation. Of course,if you spend enough time on gravelroads, your own “research” has con-firmed that something needs to bedone. The problem is that too muchof the money will go to the state forstate highways and bridges and toolittle will go to the counties andtownships where the real need ex-ists. Several amendments camethrough Senate State Affairs. Oneproposed by Sen. Billie Sutton,would limit the increase on the fueltax to 2 cents per year through theyear 2023. Prior to this Amend-ment, the legislation would allowthe tax increase every year through2030. While we can’t deny the need,don’t be fooled by price tag of $50million you’ve read about in theheadlines. It will cost a lot more

than that! If every tax is put into place itwill cost taxpayers $230 million by2023. The motor fuel tax increase isestimated to bring in $117 millionand will be an increase of 18 centsper gallon by 2023. Moving the ve-hicle excise tax from 3% to 4% willraise $27 million. The 10% increasein license plate fees will add an-other $8.7 million. Increase on farmtrucks will raise $2.5 million in thefirst year and an additional $1.25million in the second year. Theethanol tax increase will raise thetax from 8 cents per gallon to 26cents. That means another $10 mil-lion each year through 2023. Wheeltax will be raised from a currentmaximum of $16 to $48 maximum. One Bennett County constituentwho contacted me is concerned thatin the current form, the tax on farmtrucks will double. These aren’t allgrain trucks hauling along high-ways to an elevator in town. Manyof these farm trucks might spendvery little time on the highway andalmost all of the miles in the field.They drive from the combine intheir field to their own grain binsfor example. The way the law sitsnow; there may be a huge incentiveto not even license the trucks. Thatwon’t get us anywhere. The Highway Bill has left theSenate where it was extensivelyamended on Senate State Affairsand on the Senate floor. It will nowgo through the House and will nodoubt go through another round ofamendments. I’ll keep giving youupdates on this area. It’s one of thegreatest tax increases in our state’shistory and you deserve to know! As always, I invite you to contactme with your questions and con-cerns.

Fellowship of God | Dr. James L. Snyder

Now I Lay Me Down toSleep

This year I celebrate anotherbirthday. The only thing I amwrestling with is which birthdayam I going to celebrate? I have somany from which to choose, it ishard to pick out the birthday Iwant to celebrate.

I believe, since it is my birthday,I have the option and right to pickwhich birthday I am going to cele-brate.

In thinking this matter over, Ihave been tempted to celebrate myfirst birthday because I have nomemories of that birthday whatso-ever.

To celebrate my first birthdaywould be a rather awesome thing.The first birthday is celebratingthe beginning of your life. How-ever, the thing that makes it some-what crazy is, at that time in lifeyou do not know what to thinkabout as far as life is concerned.

As I think about celebrating myfirst birthday, I thought about sit-ting on the floor in diapers, drool-ing, while everybody is singinghappy birthday to me. That pic-ture kinda cancels any desire I

have to celebrate my first birth-day.

Then I thought about celebrat-ing my 100th birthday. That wouldbe awesome. I may not be aroundwhen I am 100 years old and evenif I was around at that time, I maynot know what is going on aroundme.

Then another disturbingthought entered my head. Justlike my first birthday on my 100thbirthday, I could be sitting on thefloor in diapers, drooling, whileeverybody around me is singinghappy birthday. I do not think wewant to go there.

Before I can make any real de-cisions along this line, I think I amgoing to have to take a little nap.

As I was taking my nap and justbefore I slipped off into la-la land,I thought about how old I reallyam. I am old enough so that I cantake a nap in the afternoon with-out anyone thinking anything neg-ative about it. If that is notsomething to celebrate, I don’tknow what is.

I am not quite sure how old Iwas when my parents taught me alittle prayer for when you go to

bed. It began, “Now I lay me downto sleep.” If only I could rememberhow old I was when I learned that,I would celebrate that birthday.

I have not come to any conclu-sion about which birthday to cele-brate this year, but I do plan tocelebrate this whole idea concern-ing sleep.

When I was very young, I wouldfall asleep whenever and not thinkanything of it. As I got older, it be-came embarrassing for someone tocatch me napping. Then, I passeda certain milestone in life; I do notknow which milestone it was,where I am not embarrassed any-more for anybody catching measleep.

I think that is what I am cele-brating this year. At my birthdayparty, right after the cake, every-one will join me in taking a nap.

David understood the impor-tance asleep when he wrote, “It isvain for you to rise up early, to situp late, to eat the bread of sor-rows: for so he giveth his belovedsleep” (Psalm 127:2).

What puts you to sleep is a goodindication of what kind of personyou are.

Inspiration PointHow to Build Truth Into Your Life

John 8:31-32 - “So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him,“If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you willknow the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Because there’s so much deception in our world, it is essential that we becomegrounded in the Scriptures. Some believers have accepted erroneous ideas sim-ply because they haven’t incorporated truth into their thinking and lifestyle.But how do we go about building a firm foundation of righteousness? The first step is to recognize that going to church and listening to sermons isnot enough. You need a desire and commitment to begin letting God’s Wordshape your mind, emotions, and will. Think of an area of need, interest, or strug-gle in your life. Now find a passage in the Bible that addresses that situation.For example, if someone has hurt you, find verses about forgiveness. If you don’tknow where to look, check a concordance or the back of your Bible for a subjectlist. As you read the passage, look for God’s instructions, and begin doing whatHe says. Then observe the results. What has the Lord done in your life? Didyou discover anything new about Him or His ways? Once you've experiencedthe blessing of obedience in that area, you will be ready to apply what the Lordreveals about other aspects of your life. I have found that a good way to plantthese truths firmly in the heart is to write them down and review them regu-larly. One benefit of building truth into your life is freedom. Areas of sin or feelingsof insecurity and inadequacy hamper us in so many ways. But when we believeScripture and act on its truth rather than on the basis of our emotions or de-sires, we’ll realize that the Lord can overpower whatever holds us captive.

Employment At-WillUnder South Dakota law, em-

ployment is considered “at-will,”meaning that “employment maybe terminated at the will of eitherparty.” Consequently, an employeemay quit – and an employer mayterminate a worker – for any rea-son or for no reason at all. Thereare four exceptions to the at-willdoctrine: (1) terminations thatcontravene public policy; (2) em-ployees with express or implied“for-cause-only” agreements; (3)an employee who accepts employ-ment upon the promise of a futurepromotion; and (4) terminations inviolation of state or federal law. Ifan exception is applicable, a termi-nated employee may have a claimfor wrongful termination againstemployer.

Public Policy Exception. This isimplicated when the employer’s

motivation for a discharge “contra-venes some substantial public pol-icy.” Public policy may be found inconstitutional provisions, statutes,or case law. To date, the SouthDakota Supreme Court has onlyrecognized three types of termina-tions that violate public policy: re-taliation for filing a worker’scompensation claim; retaliationfor failure to commit a crime; andretaliation for whistleblowing that“serves a public purpose.”

Express or Implied Agreements“For Cause Only.” An employerand employee may expressly con-tract around the at-will doctrineand agree that a termination willbe for-cause-only. The partiesmay impliedly agree to a for-cause-only arrangement, but this is onlyfound in the rare case when theemployee handbook “contains adetailed list of exclusive grounds

for employee discipline or dis-charge and a mandatory and spe-cific procedure that the employeragrees to follow prior to any em-ployee’s termination.”

Promise of Future Promotion.If an employee accepts a job be-cause of the employer’s promise ofa future promotion to a certain po-sition, that employee will takenout of the at-will doctrine.

Statutory Protections. Thereare a host of federal laws protect-ing workers. Some such laws pro-hibit terminations based on anemployee’s race, gender, religion,pregnancy, age, or disability; anemployee’s opposition to an em-ployment practice; or a militarymember’s call to active duty. Theat-will doctrine will not shield ter-minations that otherwise violatefederal or state law, such as thosedescribed above.

He grew up in the Ottumwaarea and attended Ottumwa ruralschool through the eighth gradebefore going to Philip High School,graduating in 1964. While in highschool, Vince was very active inFFA, and was able to go to the Na-tional FFA convention.

After graduation, he worked onthe farm-ranch with his fatheruntil 1971 when he moved toPierre. Vince worked constructionand ran a backhoe. After his fa-ther passed away in 1980, Vincehelped out on the ranch while stillliving in Pierre.

Sports were a big part of Vince’slife. He enjoyed any sport andwhen he couldn’t play the sport,he watched intensely. He thor-oughly enjoyed the family footballtrip to Minnesota this fall to

watch the Vikings play the Patri-ots. Vince was a mentor to hisnieces and nephews, and led byexample. He was always willing towork the hardest, and never ex-pected anyone to outwork him. Hekept a small “hobby” herd so hecould continue to teach the grand-children life lessons on the ranch.He also took that time to work onthe home place repairing fencesalong with other things.

New Farm Bill OffersIncreased Opportunities for

ProducersThe 2014 Farm Bill offers in-

creased opportunities for producersincluding farm loan program modi-fications that create flexibility fornew and existing farmers. A factsheet outlining modifications to theU.S. Department of Agriculture’s(USDA) Farm Service Agency(FSA) Farm Loan Programs isavailable here.

The Farm Bill expands lendingopportunities for thousands offarmers and ranchers to begin andcontinue operations, includinggreater flexibility in determining

eligibility, raising loan limits, andemphasizing beginning and sociallydisadvantaged producers.

Changes that will take effect im-mediately include:

•Elimination of the 15 year termlimit for guaranteed operatingloans.

•Modification of the definition ofbeginning farmer, using the aver-age farm size for the county as aqualifier instead of the medianfarm size.

•Modification of the Joint Fi-nancing Direct Farm OwnershipInterest Rate to 2 percent less thanregular Direct Farm Ownershiprate, with a floor of 2.5 percent.Previously, the rate was establishedat 5 percent.

•Increase of the maximum loanamount for Direct Farm OwnershipDown Payment Loan Program from$225,000 to $300,000.

•Elimination of rural residencyrequirement for Youth Loans, al-lowing urban youth to benefit.

•Debt forgiveness on YouthLoans, which will not prevent bor-rowers from obtaining additionalloans from the federal government.Increase of the guaranteed percent-age on Conservation Loans from 75to 80 percent and 90 percent for so-cially disadvantaged borrowers andbeginning farmers.

•Microloans will not count to-ward direct operating loan termlimits for veterans and beginningfarmers.

Additional modifications mustbe implemented through the rule-making processes. Visit the FSAFarm Bill website for detailed in-formation and updates to farm loanprograms.

Retirement?I’ve started to have people tell

me they’ve heard I’m retiring fromSDSU Extension, so although mylast day in the office is a couple ofweeks away, this is my last newscolumn. Retiring is always some-thing I’ve heard people talk aboutwith mixed emotions, but it wasn’tuntil recently that I gave it seriousthought. I would admit that severaltimes over the last several years, Idebated whether I would addressmy retirement in this column orsimply quit writing them and fadeaway. Right or wrong, I decided tomake it known. I sometimes won-dered if anybody really read thiscolumn, but it has amazed me howmany times people have called formore information or just told meover the phone or at meetings thatthey read it regularly. That cer-tainly helps motivate one to keepwriting.

One of the reasons for announc-ing my retirement via this columnis to thank the many people whoasked questions over the years,whether it was in the field, at meet-ings, during office visits, over a cupof coffee, on the phone or via e-mail.These questions not only led to nu-merous news column topics, but re-searching answers to the ones Ihadn’t been asked before con-tributed as much or more to what Iknow today as my college educa-tion.

In reality, the “education” didn’talways come from researchingquestions. There were a number ofsituations, particularly during myearly years as a County ExtensionAgent, where farmers and rancherstaught me, and often in a subtle

way. Sometimes I was smartenough to recognize this, but therewere also cases when I thought Iwas pretty smart and didn’t under-stand the learning opportunityuntil sometime later. I guess thatwas part of my “education” too.

Another reason for announcingmy retirement through this columnis to encourage farmers, ranchers,gardeners, homeowners, etc. to useSDSU Extension. SDSU has many,highly qualified Extension Special-ists and Field Specialists that canbe extremely helpful in answeringyour questions, and finding the an-swers to the questions you askmakes them that much moreknowledgeable. And of course theinformation you receive is unbiasedand science based. The re-organiza-tion of the Cooperative ExtensionService in South Dakota to SDSUExtension and the establishment ofeight Regional Extension Centershas removed some of the personaltouch that existed with the CountyExtension Agent system, but theperson who has the answer to yourquestions is still accessible. TheiGrow website: www.igrow.org con-tains a wealth of information andnew material is added on a regularbasis. The “County Agent’s” or “Ex-tension Home Economist’s” weeklynews column is a thing of the pastin South Dakota, but the articles iniGrow have done a respectable jobof replacing them. If you don’t findthe answer to your question there,the link, “Field Staff Listing”:http://igrow.org/about/our-experts/provides contact information forevery Extension person in thestate.

Although I will be retiring from

SDSU Extension, like many peopledo in this day and age, I’m notgoing to sit in my recliner, but begina new career. What I have learnedresearching answers to the ques-tions many of you have asked willbe very valuable.
