Meals forthe Elderly

Read Matthew 6:9-13Jesus Christ gave His followers a pattern for prayer

that includes seeking forgiveness daily. The invitationto regular repentance is not a means of renewing oursalvation, but rather a maintenance plan for our fellow-

ship with the Lord. When we trust Jesus as our Savior, our sins are forgiven forever. The stains from ourpast, present, and future wrongs are wiped from our record; however, we're a fallen people so we do con-tinue to commit sin.

With the exception of Jesus Christ, no person is perfect. Sin is simply a fact of human life. The Lord'spayment for our transgressions means that we can look forward to an eternity spent in God's presenceinstead of getting the punishment we deserve. On this side of heaven, though, we still have to contendwith our tendency to do wrong--and we must also deal with the consequences. The Lord's admonition toseek daily forgiveness is a reminder to confess our sins and turn away from them because we are for-given.

God's grace is not a license to sin; instead, it's a reason to pursue righteousness. Bad attitudes, thought-less actions, and unkind speech do not fit who we are as children of light. We're new creatures in Christ,bought for a price and set free to live as partakers of His grace.

Salvation makes a way for us to enter God's presence, while regular confession and repentance keepthe pathway well maintained and free of obstruction (1 John 1:9). The so-called "sinner's prayer" need besaid only once, but a saint will tap into God's forgiveness every day of his or her life.

Dear Editor,Count your bedrooms: Once we

have turned over the needs of Kadoka to those nice state employ-ees from the Central South DakotaEnhancement District [EPA] whocome down from Pierre to sellComprehensive Planning we mayget surprises. I witnessed one suchevent in Nebraska while there.

That Comprehensive Plan was onthe county level.In my opinion, once adopted the

important folks in the area who donot enjoy any outsider visitor dol-lars exercised a long standinggrudge - mainly against Coloradopeople. Many from the Denver arealike the hundred miles of sandybeaches and 30 mile long Lake Mc-Conaughy north of Ogallala, NE.

As some of my relatives and friendshave found you seem to get extrapolice protection if your car bearsa Colorado license plate.

Many Colorado folks vacation atan installation called North Shorea half mile south of our previoushome. North Shore along Lake Mc-Conaughy was founded by Sue Jor-dan, recently of Kadoka, and herdeceased husband. Over the yearsit grew to a complex of over 160 va-cation homes, a restaurant, a ma-rina, motel and campground. Boatlaunching facilities are also avail-able. Once the Plan was in place,the locally elected officials decidedthat the complex had to have a cen-tralized sewage disposal system.

The bureaucratic rules that dic-tate one size fits all had to be fol-lowed. Big Brothers whimdetermined those needs be basedon the number of bedrooms in thecomplex - about 400 of them.Sewage space had to be determinedon the basis of two people in eachbedroom 365 days a year. In reallife those bedrooms for the mostpart are in use, if at all, only onweekends or short vacations of aweek or two in the summer.

The result was still being builtclose to our home when we left. Itis a three stage monster sewer la-goon which had to be plastic lineddue to possible leaching in thesandy soil. The sewage has to bepumped. It works on an evapora-tive basis as it cannot be venteddue possible pollution of springsabove Lake McConaughy on thehill below North Shore. All threestages were to have a labor inten-sive water level maintained inthem year around.

North Shore lost a lot of beauti-ful old trees to new sewer lines aswell as some tenants. Operationalcosts are higher. Along with busi-ness losses, the taxpayers are thelosers. The environmental engi-neers of Schumacher, Paul & Norand bonded outside certified con-tractors did OK. The bureaucratsfrom EPA are probably pointing toit as a fine example of protectingthe peoples health and safety.

Kadokas situation is different.However, how many surprises willbe discovered when the pristinerock of Comprehensive Planning is

turned over?How many bedrooms doesKadoka have?

Were tenting tonight on theold campground, goes the Civil-War song. Well, not me personally.Im not really into tenting all thatmuch, but I expect many flimsytemporary structures were erectedin the state last night and manypeople slept in them. There areabout four reasons why I am noteager to join this throng of campers, namely wind, rain, cold,and rattlesnakes. I can do withoutany of those things when Im try-ing to sleep.

Not only that, but our ranchhome is at the back of beyond sowere sort of camping out all yearlong anyway. When the electricitygoes out, there we are with thefireplace going, kerosene lamps orflashlights lighting things up, andthe propane camp stove set up onthe defunct kitchen range for mak-ing coffee and the occasionalcheeseburger or whatever. Thatsreally all the roughing-it that Irequire.

This is not to say that I havenever tried the tenting thing. Oncemany years ago, two other guysand I tented one night somewherein Wyoming or Montana. Its beenso long ago that I forget the de-tails. We were headed for a week-long conference at ColoradoSprings and were trying to savemoney. The main thing I recall waswaking up very cold indeed. Ididnt care much for it despite itbeing a cheap way to spend thenight.

As a kid, though, I did enjoy atent my folks bought for my sisterand me. It didnt have a floor and Ididnt ever stay in it overnight. Itwas quite a grand place to playduring the day, however. I still re-member the smell of the green can-vas and how the sun lit it in a neatway during the day. It did blowdown several times but not while Iwas in it. We just put it back upagain or else folded it away if wewere done with it for the time.

What really amazes me is abunch of coyote hunters from Min-nesota who often camp down by

our creek each January. Some-times they dont even pitch a tentbut just throw up a sheet of plasticto kind of block the wind and thensleep in polar sleeping bags. So farI havent noticed any bits of themmissing from frost, and they seemperfectly content with this extremeform of roughing it. I, however,have no plans to join them any-time soon. Theyre nuts.

One other camping experience Ihad was similar to what the Min-nesota guys do in that we didntuse tents. At the time, I was acounselor at a summer camp alongthe Missouri River in the southernpart of the state. One night, we

just slept in sleeping bags on thesand of the Missouri shoreline. Itwas a warm enough night to not bea problem temperature-wise, andit was kind of neat to look up andsee the stars while you were goingto sleep. Still, I later killed a rat-tlesnake at that campground andwas glad I hadnt had any comecozy up to me during our night onthe sand. What a nasty thought.Having a tent with a decent floorwould lessen the worry aboutsnakes, for sure, but sleeping bagsalone dont provide much protec-tion.

On the other hand, I greatly enjoyed a little camping trailer I hadfor a while. I bought it in New Or-leans for temporary cheap housingwhile we were building the lastNavy ship I was on. I thought Iwas going to lose it right away as,a few days after I got it, a majorhurricane, Camille, destroyed half the gulf coast just east of New Or-leans. Luckily we were spared, andthe trailer lived to follow me toFlorida, South Carolina and backhome to the ranch. It was basically

just a miniature house with asturdy air conditioner on the roof,plus a tiny stove and refrigeratorand even a bathroom where youcould take a shower while sittingon the toilet. It was a great escapefrom the ship from time to timesince, if youre on the ship and noteven technically on duty, yourestill on duty. My most memorablecamping experience with it was onthe way home when I stopped at acampground in Kentucky over Me-morial-Day weekend. I had my lit-tle motorcycle along with which Izoomed around over the windingnarrow paved roads of that areaand felt the complete adventurerand camper.

At the moment, though, I have

no plans to run out and buy a tent,a sleeping bag, or even a camper of any sort. Im content to simply re-live my experiences of those thingsin my mind. Others may be tentingtonight on the old campground,but Im not one of them. I have anice sturdy building in which tospend the night with all the com-forts of home. Thats the way I likeit.

Were Tenting Tonight

Lookin Aroundby Syd Iwan

The Eddie and Marjorie Kodetestate sale was held on Saturday atthe place just north and east of town. According to daughter, JanetLeitheiser, they had a good day forthe sale and a lot of people at-tended. They didnt sell the land orthe house, but did get rid of equip-ment and household goods they nolonger needed.

Water temperatures are warm-ing in South Dakota, and boaterstypically begin to take to the waterin greater numbers as the JulyFourth holiday approaches.

In an effort to help keep thoseboaters safe on South Dakotaspublic waters, the Department of Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) will

step up its efforts over the next fewweekends to conduct boating safetychecks across the state.

While GFP conservation offi-cers routinely conduct boatingsafety checks during much of theyear, these stepped up efforts arebeing made as part of a nationwideboating safety campaign in con-

junction with the National Associ-ation of Boating Law

Adminstrators (NASBLA), saidBrandon Gust, GFP boating safetycoordinator.

Before heading onto the waterthis summer, Gust encouragesboaters to take a close look at theirfire extinguishers, life jackets,throwable seat cushions and otherequipment to be sure theyre ingood working condition. The bestway to prevent an unwantedtragedy on the water is to be pre-pared.

If boaters are uncertain whatsafety equipment they are requiredto have onboard, Gust suggeststhat they pick up a copy of theSouth Dakota Boating Handbookat the nearest GFP Office, statepark, GFP-license outlet or bygoing online ath t t p : / / g f p . s d . g o v / f i s h i n g -boating/boating/

The following list of requiredsafety equipment serves as a quickreference, but Gust suggests thatboaters take a few minutes to re-view other safety regulations in theSouth Dakota Boating Handbook.The majority of boats in South

Dakota are required to carry:One U.S. Coast Guard-ap-

proved wearable, properly sizedpersonable flotation device for eachperson aboard

One U.S. Coast Guard-ap-proved throwable type flotation de-vice (seat cushion or ring buoy) forvessels 16 feet or longer

One U.S. Coast Guard-ap-proved fire extinguisher of B-1 typeor larger for vessels with enclosedgas compartments

While state regulations requirethat children under the age of seven must wear their life jacketsanytime a boat is moving on thewater at greater than no-wakespeed, Gust encourages parents tohave all children wear life jackets.Gust also emphasizes that parentsshould check to be sure each childhas a properly sized lifejacket toensure it doesnt come off whenthey jump into the water.

Of course, it goes without say-ing that life jackets will not keepanyone afloat, young or old, if theyre not wearing them, saidGust.

Boating accidents present a spe-cial safety concern, and Gust asksthat boaters be especially mindfulwhen other boats are present.

Many times we see boat acci-dents that involve inexperiencedoperators, but careless or recklessoperators present a problem foreveryone, he said.

Finally, Gust asks that boat op-erators do their part to make for asafe outing and limit alcohol con-sumption.

The safety of everyone aboard aboat depends on having a sober andcompetent boat operator, he said.While open containers of alcoholare allowed in boats, we want toensure that each boat has a desig-nated sober operator at all times.

Boating safet emphasizedb Game, Fish and Parks Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-

sack has announced that USDA isaccepting applications for grants tohelp promote sustainable economicdevelopment and job creation inrural communities.

"Cooperative enterprises oftenlead economic growth and job cre-ation in rural areas," Vilsack said."USDA is offering grants to help or-ganizations start cooperatives, ex-pand existing ones or help developbusiness opportunities in ruralareas."

USDA is offering Rural Cooper-ative Development Grants (RCDG)to non-profit corporations and in-stitutions of higher education. Thegrants also may be used to conductfeasibility studies, create and im-plement business plans, and helpbusinesses develop new marketsfor their products and services.

One-year grants up to $175,000are available. In most cases, grantsmay be used to pay for up to 75 per-cent of the cost of establishing andoperating rural cooperative devel-opment centers. Recipients are re-quired to match 25 percent of theaward amount. The grant periodshould begin no earlier than Octo-ber 1, 2012, and no later than Jan-uary 1, 2013.

Many RCDG recipients have a

long history of job creation and eco-nomic development. In Great Falls,MT, the Montana Cooperative De-velopment Center has helped 123entities and guided the formationof 37 cooperatives since its incep-tion in 1999. One of these coopera-tives, the Last Chance Caf, inSunburst, MT, near the Canadianborder, would have closed withouthelp from the development centerand its USDA Rural CooperativeDevelopment Grant. This iconiccaf is once again a successful localdiner and a gathering spot for thelocal community.

Through this notice, USDA mayaward up to $5.8 million in grants.The deadline for RCDG applica-tions is August 6, 2012. For addi-tional information, see the June 7,2012 Federal Register or contactthe USDA Rural Developmentstate office.

In addition, USDA is offering al-most $2.37 million in grantsthrough USDA Rural Develop-ment's Rural Business OpportunityGrant (RBOG. The program pro-motes sustainable economic devel-opment in rural communities andregions with exceptional needs.

For example, in 2011, USDA Rural Development awarded

Southwestern Wisconsin RegionalPlanning Commission a $90,000grant to assist with the develop-ment of a local food prospectus forrural areas in the tri-state region of Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. TheCommission will use the grantaward with partner agencies inWisconsin, Illinois and Iowa to im-prove the local food opportunitiesin the tri-state region. The two-year effort will identify agriculturalstrengths, regional opportunities,and recommend a unified networkof processing, storage, and distribu-tion facilities throughout the re-gion.

The RBOG program providestraining and technical assistancegrants for business development,entrepreneurs, and economic devel-opment officials and assists witheconomic development planning.Funding is available to rural publicbodies, nonprofit corporations, Na-tive American tribes and coopera-tives with primarily rural membersthat conduct activities for the mu-tual benefit of the membership.

Applications for Rural BusinessOpportunity Grants are due Au-gust 6, 2012. Application instruc-tions may be obtained from theJune 7, 2012 Federal Register, orby contacting a USDA Rural Devel-

opment State Office.Since taking office, President

Obama's Administration has takenhistoric steps to improve the livesof rural Americans, put people backto work and build thrivingeconomies in rural communities.From proposing the American Jobs

Act to establishing the first-everWhite House Rural Council chaired by Agriculture SecretaryTom Vilsack the President is com-mitted to using Federal resourcesmore efficiently to foster sustain-able economic prosperity and en-sure the government is a strongpartner for businesses, entrepre-neurs and working families inrural communities.

USDA, through its Rural Devel-opment mission area, administersand manages housing, businessand community infrastructure andfacility programs through a na-

tional network of state and local of-fices. Rural Development has anactive portfolio of more than $165billion in loans and loan guaran-tees. These programs are designedto improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, res-idents, farmers and ranchers andimprove the quality of life in ruralareas.

USDA seeks applications for grants to help rural businesses create jobs The days of cutting hay on an In-

ternational H or M tractor with asickle mower are long gone formost, says Julie Walker, SDSU Ex-tension Beef Specialist.

"It seemed like a field took for-ever to finish cutting. I clearly re-member the day that Dadpurchased a 12-foot mower withconditioner. Boy could you laydown the hay with that piece of equipment," Walker said, of her

childhood growing up on a farm inMinnesota. "Needless to say, hayequipment has improved over thelast few decades."

Although equipment has im-proved, there are still many deci-sions Walker says producers stillneed to make to ensure hay qualityis adequate. The decisions produc-ers make as managers of forage re-sources will hopefully reduce theamount of supplementation thatwill be required to meet the animalnutrient requirements.

What is high quality hay?"Many producers would say

quality hay is green in color, free of mold and weeds, has a high portionof leaves and it was put up withoutrain on it," said Walker, addingthat although these are good indi-cators of high quality hay, theydon't tell producers anything aboutthe nutritional content of the for-age.

Sampling is the best way to un-derstand the nutritional content of forage, Walker says.

"Producers need to sample thehay once it is in the stack and sendthe sample to a lab for nutritionalanalysis. This is essential to under-standing its true quality," she said.

What are the best managementpractices that should be consideredto improve the odds of getting astack of high quality hay?

To answer this question, Walkerfirst asks producers if they go forquantity, or quality?

"Forage has the highest di-gestibility in the vegetative stage,and is less digestible at seed stage.

As the plant matures from vegeta-tive to seed stage, the digestibilitydecreases and the amount of bio-mass available for harvest in-creases," she says.

Figure 1 shows that maximumyield of digestive dry matter. Forgrasses, the maximum yield of di-gestive dry matter would be ob-tained at the late boot to early headstage of maturity and for legumes,the mid-to late-bud stage of matu-rity is best.

Taken from Schroeder, 1996,NDSU

Research has shown that forage

cut at or near sundown has higherenergy compared to morning.

"This is a natural physiologicalprocess in plants wherein concen-trations of soluble carbohydratesand other highly digestible nutri-ents are highest after a full day of sunshine and photosynthesis,"Walker said.

She adds that tall enough stub-ble height should be left to aid indrying as well as improves pickup

performance."However, too high of stubbleheight will reduce yields," she says.

Correct hay curing (drying) isthe next step. Walker says variousfactors can reduce hay quality dur-ing the drying phase, these include;respiration, weather and loss of leaves. Some tips she shares tospeed up curing include; using amower conditioner speeds dryingby opening the waxy layer sur-rounding the stems in legumes;large and/or coarse stemmed for-ages have shown faster dryingwhen conditioned. Wider swathsalso allow for faster drying. Rakingshould be avoided if possible whenthe forage moisture is less than 40percent.

Hay desiccants are used to re-duce the amount of time requiredfor hay drying. The commonly usedhay desiccants are potassium car-bonate or sodium carbonate, whichare sprayed onto the hay duringthe cutting phase.

Walker says hay desiccants areeffective on alfalfa, clover andbirdsfoot trefoil to remove themoisture-conserving waxy cutinlayer of the plant, however, theyare ineffective on grasses such asorchardgrass, timothy andbromegrass.

"When considering using haydesiccants remember to include thecost of the chemical as well as thesprayer for application," she said.

Walker adds that reducing leaf loss during the baling phase is keyto maintaining quality.

"Baling at moisture contentabove 15 percent, has less leaf l ossthan below 15 percent. Typicalmoisture content of the bales needsto be below 18 to 20 percent to pre-vent mold growth," she said. "Whenputting up hay with higher mois-ture content other managementsteps need to be implemented toensure maintaining hay quality aswell as reducing the risk of fire."

Feed costs are a large portion of your annual cow cost, so managingthe forage resource to get a qualityhay product, which will reduce theneed for additional supplementa-tion, can ultimately reduce the feedbill. For more information visit,www.igrow.org.

Park Rangers received a 911 callfrom two European visitors at ap-proximately 10:30 a.m. on Thurs.,June 7 reporting an injured hikeron the Notch Trail. Park Rangersand the Interior Volunteer Fire De-partment were first on scene afterhiking in about mile to find DaveJohnson a 57-year-old man from

Audubon, Pennsylvania who hadfallen, sliding into a crack and wasexperiencing severe leg and backpain along with numerous cuts and

scrapes. He stated that he hadstarted hiking at 7:30 a.m. and hadbeen trapped and unable to gethelp until he was discovered.

Multiple agencies responded tothe incident including Kadoka andPhilip Ambulance companies, Jack-son County Sheriffs officers andthe South Dakota Highway Patrol.

After assessing both his injuriesand the situation, it was deter-mined that the safest and most ap-propriate method of rescue wouldbe by helicopter, especially consid-ering the difficulty of bringing a lit-ter down the wood/cable ladderthat connects the upper and lowerparts of the Notch Trail. BlackHills Life Flight was already onscene with both a flight nurse andparamedic having hiked in to pro-vide advanced medical care. Afterthe South Dakota Air NationalGuard arrived on scene, they were

able to use a cable hoist to bringthe victim to the Life Flight Heli-copter for evacuation to Rapid CityRegional Medical Center.

Four South Dakota Army Na-tional Guard Soldiers assisted in arescue mission in Badlands Na-tional Park, near Interior, Thurs-day, June 7.

The Soldiers, using a UH-72Lakota helicopter, conducted acable-hoist extraction of a park vis-itor who was hiking, fell and was

injured on Notch Trail, according toa National Park Service press re-lease.

Dave Johnson, 57, from Audubon, Penn., was hiking aloneand when he ventured off the trailand slipped and slid into a crack,according to the release.

Park officials stated he startedhiking at 7:30 a.m. and had beentrapped and unable to get helpuntil he was discovered by otherpark visitors at approximately10:30 a.m. He was experiencing se-vere leg and back pain along withnumerous cuts and scrapes.

Park Rangers and the Interior Volunteer Fi re Department werefirst on scene after hiking in aboutthree quarters of a mile to findJohnson. Multiple agencies re-sponded to the incident includingKadoka and Philip Ambulancecompanies, Jackson County Sher-

iff's officers and the South DakotaHighway Patrol.The call for assistance to the

Guard came at about 11:30 a.m.,after Park Service and emergencyresponse personnel determinedthat the safest and most appropri-ate method of rescue would be byhelicopter, especially consideringthe difficulty of bringing a litterdown the wood/cable ladder thatconnects the upper and lower partsof Notch Trail, according to the re-lease.

Incident command officials atthe scene made the determinationthat the SDARNG's UH-72 Lakotahelicopter had the right capabili-ties to extract the injured hiker.

This was the South DakotaGuard's first live-rescue mission inthe state with the new UH-72Lakota helicopter, which wasfielded in May 2011. The Guard,along with the National Park Serv-ice and other agencies, trained forthis exact scenario about a weekearlier.

"We trained for this type of sce-nario on May 30," said Chief War-rant Officer 4 Christian Frank,pilot-in-command. "That's how im-portant the interagency coordina-tion and training is. The rescuemission went very smooth."

Milk MattersMyPlate calls the former

MyPyramid Milk Group theDairy 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 milkmatters.

Foods in the Dairy Group pro-vide nutrients that are vital forhealth and maintenance of yourbody. Calcium builds strong bonesand teeth in children and youth. Italso helps adults keep their bonemass so they do not develop weakbones and diseases like osteoporo-sis. Vitamin D is a nutrient thatmakes sure the body has properlevels of calcium and phosphorus,which help to build and maintainbones. Milk and soymilk that are
