Social Security News

Social Security
Public Affairs Specialist
Question:
What are some of the docu-
ments Social Security will accept
as proof of identity for a child?
Answer:
While you can use a birth cer-
tificate to prove age or citizenship,
you cannot use it as proof of iden-
tity. For identity, we prefer to see
the childs U.S. passport. If you
dont have a passport, we may ac-
cept the childs:
Adoption decree;
Doctor, clinic, or hospital
record;
Religious record (e.g., bap-
tismal record);
Daycare center or school
record; or
School identification card.
We generally can accept a non-
photo identity document if it has
enough information to identify
the child (such as the childs name
and age, date of birth and parents
names). All documents must be ei-
ther originals or copies certified
by the issuing agency. We cannot
accept photocopies or notarized
copies of documents. To find out
more, visit www.socialsecurity.gov
/ssnumber.
Question:
What is Supplemental Security
Income (SSI)?
Answer:
SSI provides monthly income to
people 65 or older, blind or dis-
abled, who also have limited in-
come and financial resources. To
be eligible, an individual also
must be a U.S. citizen and resi-
dent of the United States or a
noncitizen lawfully admitted for
permanent residence. There are,
however, some noncitizens
granted a special immigration
status who are eligible. To get
SSI, an individuals financial re-
sources (savings and assets) can-
not be more than $2,000 ($3,000,
if married). For more information,
read our publications, Supple-
mental Security Income or Under-
standing Supplemental Security
Income.
Question:
Do disabled children qualify for
disability benefits?
Answer:
There are two Social Security
disability programs that provide
benefits for disabled children.
Under the Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) program, a child
from birth to age 18 may receive
monthly payments based on dis-
ability or blindness if:
The child has an impairment
or combination of impairments
that meets the definition of dis-
ability for children; and
The income and resources of
the parents and the child are
within the allowed limits.
Under Social Security, an adult
child (a person age 18 or older)
may receive monthly benefits
based on disability or blindness if:
The adult child has an impair-
ment or combination of impair-
ments that meet the definition of
disability for adults;
The disability began before
age 22; and
A parent of the adult child
worked long enough to be insured
under Social Security and is re-
ceiving retirement or disability
benefits, or is deceased.
Under both of these programs,
the child must not be doing any
substantial work. The child also
must have a medical condition
that is expected to last at least
one year or result in death. Learn

The South Dakota Stockgrowers
Association, joined with R-CALF
USA and the Made in the USA
Foundation to become co-plaintiffs
in the lawsuit to challenge the
World Trade Organization's
(WTO's) ruling that found the
United States' Country of Origin
Labeling (COOL) law to be in vio-
lation of international trade rules.
Shane Kolb, President of the
South Dakota Stockgrowers said,
"Stockgrowers does not accept that
a world court can dictate what
laws we pass in our own country
and we feel that this lawsuit is the
way for us to force USDA and our
lawmakers to stand up to the WTO
and defend our producers by de-
fending COOL."
"Stockgrowers have been in-
volved with COOL since before it
was included in the 2000 Farm Bill
because we believe that given the
choice, customers will buy USA
raised products," said Stockgrow-
ers President Shane Kolb,
Meadow, SD. "COOL has given us
the ability to differentiate our
product from that of another coun-
try and our customers look for that
'USA' label when they go to the
grocery store."
The original complaint filed Sep-
tember 1, 2012 in the federal dis-
trict court in Denver, Colorado, al-
leged the WTO ruling against
COOL is null and void because
Congress entered the WTO under
the proviso that WTO rulings in-
consistent with U.S. law shall
have no effect. In addition, the suit
alleged that the U.S. Agriculture
Secretary and U.S. Trade Ambas-
sador failed their respective re-
sponsibilities to uphold U.S. sover-
eignty by their failure to invoke
Congress' proviso.
Stockgrowers joins
lawsuit to defend COOL
The original complaint also
pointed out that it was a clear con-
flict of interest for the WTO to
have appointed a Mexican na-
tional, who has represented Mex-
ico in trade matters, to serve as a
"judge" in the complaint that Mex-
ico filed against the United States.
Along with the South Dakota
Stockgrowers Association, the In-
dependent Cattlemen of Wyoming,
Cattle Producers of Washington,
Independent Mississippi cattle
ranchers and R-CALF USA mem-
bers Stanley, Chad and Tyler
Scott, and the Organization for
Competitive Markets also joined
the suit.
The amended complaint adds a
new cause of action: the failure of
the U.S. Agriculture Secretary to
properly follow his agency's rule-
making procedures. The suit al-
leges the U.S. Agriculture Secre-
tary improperly included a loop-
hole in the final COOL rule that
allows meat exclusively produced
from animals exclusively born,
raised, and slaughtered in the
United States to nevertheless be
labeled as if it were a product of
mixed origin, such as a product of
the United States, Canada and/or
Mexico.
"COOL is the law of our land
and was passed into law by the
Congress of the United States of
America," said Kolb. "If other
countries want to market their
product here then they need to
comply with our laws and label
their products accordingly. Stock-
growers will continue to fight for
the right to label our products."
The U.S. government and other
defendants in the suit now have
60-days within which to formally
respond to the complaint.
Senator John Thune (R-S.D.)
was re-elected chairman of the
Senate Republican Conference,
November 14, by his fellow Repub-
lican Senators.
Thune was originally elected to
the post in December of 2011, but
officially assumed the position in
January of 2012 when Senator
Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.)
stepped down from the position.
The chairman is the number three
leadership position for Senate Re-
publicans and is tasked with
spearheading messaging efforts for
the conference.
I thank my Republican Senate
colleagues for again electing me to
serve as chairman of the Senate
Republican Conference, said
Thune. Our country is at a critical
point and the stakes have never
been higher. As our conference
works to address the major chal-
lenges facing our nation, including
the fiscal cliff, rampant unemploy-
Senator Thune re-elected Senate
Republican Conference Chairman
ment, and the crippling debt, we
also stand ready and willing to
work across the aisle in order to
meet these challenges. I will con-
tinue to work hard to ensure that
issues important to our nation and
to South Dakota, like agriculture,
transportation and defense are
brought to the forefront of policy
discussions, and that Republicans
help shape the national conversa-
tion to make the case for these and
other South Dakota priorities.
Prior to being elected chairman
of the Senate Republican Confer-
ence, Thune previously served as
chairman of the Senate Republi-
can Policy Committee and as vice
chairman of the Senate Republi-
can Conference, which helps sena-
tors communicate their priorities
to the American people through a
wide variety of communications,
including television, radio and web
technology, among other services.
The regular West River Deer
season closes on November 25, and
the regular East River Deer season
closes on December 2. Nine addi-
tional days will be available to har-
vest antlerless deer, beginning De-
cember 29 and ending on January
6.
We want to remind both West
River and East River deer hunters
that their any deer and any
whitetail deer tags are only valid
during the regular 16-day season,
and that they will not convert to
antlerless tags like in previous
Antlerless deer tags
have extended season
years, said Tom Kirschenmann,
chief of terrestrial resources for
the South Dakota Game, Fish and
Parks Department. Only unfilled
any antlerless deer and antler-
less whitetail deer tags will be
valid for the late-season dates.
The changes were made to ac-
complish additional antlerless
deer harvest in areas of the state
that need it most while curtailing
the doe harvest where deer popu-
lations are at or below population
objectives.
The South Dakota Game, Fish
and Parks Commission has pro-
posed a slight reduction in licenses
for the 2013 Spring Prairie Turkey
Season.
The commission has recom-
mended a reduction in one-tag
male turkey licenses by 105 and
reduce the two-tag any turkey li-
censes by 200 compared to 2012.
The commission also is propos-
ing 10 resident archery turkey li-
censees for the Blood Run Nature
Area and 10 resident archery li-
censees to hunt at the Adams
Homestead and Nature Preserve
through the issuance of access
permits via a lottery drawing.
GFP commission proposes
spring turkey season
A modification of the spring unit
boundaries for the Black Hills and
49A to be consistent with the fall
turkey unit boundaries was also
proposed.
The proposals will be finalized
at the December 6-7 GFP meeting
at the Pierre Ramkota.
To comment, e-mail wild.info@st
ate.sd.us with your name and city.
You can also comment in person at
the December meeting. Proposals
will begin at 2:00 p.m., CST on

Pertussis, also known as whoop-
ing cough, is a highly-contagious
and vaccine-preventable disease
that has made a startling come-
back across the country. It is cur-
rently responsible for causing the
worst epidemic the U.S. has seen
in 50 years, according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), including 13
deaths.
Immunization is still the best
way to help prevent the spread of
pertussis, says Siobhan Dolan,
MD, MPH, an obstetrician/gyne-
cologist and medical advisor to
March of Dimes. Its important for
both children and adults to be up-
to-date with their pertussis immu-
nization.
Researchers have found that im-
munity from childhood pertussis
vaccinations wears off over time,
so the pertussis shots that most
adults received as children may no
longer fully protect them. The
adult Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria
and acellular pertussis) booster
vaccine is recommended for adults
to help keep them healthy and
help prevent them from spreading
diseases to others, especially chil-
dren. The CDC recently updated
its immunization guidelines,
which now state that all adults
aged 19 years and older who have
not yet received a dose of Tdap
should receive a single dose.
Research has shown that when
the source of a babys pertussis can
be identified, its traced back to
family members in up to 80 per-
cent of cases, Dr. Dolan explained.
So its imperative for parents to
Whooping cough on the rise:
How to protect your family
know that everyone around their
baby: parents, friends, caregivers
and grandparents needs to have
an adult Tdap booster vaccine.
According to a survey conducted
online in May 2012 by Harris In-
teractive on behalf of the Sounds of
Pertussis Campaign, a joint initia-
tive from Sanofi Pasteur and
March of Dimes, more than four
out of five parents with children
ages two and younger (83 percent)
believe adult vaccination is impor-
tant to help protect against the
spread of pertussis, but only 19
percent reported asking those in
regular contact with their child to
get a Tdap booster shot.
The reason is probably because
most parents -- 61 percent -- said
they would feel awkward asking
those in close contact with their in-
fants to get an adult Tdap booster
shot, according to the survey, said
Dr. Dolan.
Parents want to do all they can
to keep their babies healthy and to
protect them from danger, she
added. Speak to your friends and
family about getting a pertussis
booster. That simple ask will help
protect them and your baby from
this potentially fatal disease.
More information about pertus-
sis and the Sounds of Pertussis
Campaign can be found online at
www.SoundsofPertussis.com.
And remember, although whoop-
ing cough may be on the rise na-
tionwide, there are simple steps
you can take to help protect your
family: get your booster shot now
and encourage those around you to
do the same.

When we write, an important el-
ement of a story is place or loca-
tion. This isnt only about a place
within the story or poem. The
place where we actually do the
writing can also act as inspiration.
For the December meeting, Wall
Writers Group participants are
going to change the place of their
meeting.
On Saturday, December 8, we
will meet at Prairie Village, 416
Sixth Avenue in Wall, at 8:15 a.m.
and leave from the parking lot at
8:30. We will depart as a caravan
if more people are interested in
joining the writers on their road
trip to Pierre. We anticipate re-
turning to Wall by dark.
From 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

under Events.
The topics for the December 8
meeting are:

South Dakota may have experi-
enced its first highway fatality-
free Thanksgiving holiday in a
decade, preliminary reports to the
Department of Public Safety indi-
Highway Patrol Operation
safe campaign successful
cate.
Statistics from Public Safetys
Office of Accident Records show
that 2003 was the last Thanksgiv-
ing travel period without a
recorded highway fatality in South
Dakota. Late reports from the past
weekend could change this years
outcome, but as of mid-day Mon-
day, November 26, the Office of Ac-
cident Records had received no re-
ports of fatal crashes in South
Dakota during the period.
The Thanksgiving travel period
starts a full month of holiday
travel, meaning more people going
more places, said Col. Craig Price,
superintendent of the South
Dakota Highway Patrol. Its a fes-
tive time, but it also can be stress-
ful and hectic. That makes it more
important than ever for all of us to
be safe. Please wear seatbelts,
obey speed laws and dont drink
and drive.
To drive that point home, the
Highway Patrol kicked off the hol-
iday travel period on Wednesday,
November 21, with a high-visibil-
ity Operation Safe campaign. That
statewide effort involved nearly
every uniformed Highway Patrol
member. The primary purpose of
Operation Safe was to remind mo-
torists to make safe and responsi-
ble driving decisions during their
holiday travel.
Statewide during the day-long
Operation Safe campaign on No-
vember 21, troopers responded to
31 crashes during the operation,
made six DUI arrests and nine
drug arrests and assisted 38 mo-
torists on the highway.

the pain of the loss. In that sense,
I know I will never have closure
and thats good.
Some 14 years after her death,
while I was on the faculty of a
medical school in Georgia, I found
myself having to advise medical
students how to talk to patients or
family about sad news. I reviewed
the medical literature on the sub-
ject at the time, and concluded
that there is no right way to do it
except to be 100 percent honest,
and to say whatever is needed
with compassion. Through the
years those guidelines have sus-
tained me while I have had the
burden of sharing awful news.
Bottom line, it is being there,
more than words, that consoles.
Never worry about what to say,
just show up, be honest, and care.

Doc Perspective for On Call, a

The Prairie Doc Perspective
By Richard P. Holm MD
Before my junior year in high
school, I returned from a Boy
Scout canoeing trip to discover my
sister had been killed in a car
crash. I will never forget the sad-
ness of the moment when I walked
into the house, which was filled
with what seemed like half the
caring and wonderful town of
DeSmet, to find my Mom and Dad
there grieving. It was near the end
of that summer, but the beginning
of a long period of mourning for
my family and me.
There were lessons that came to
me after my sisters death. I real-
ized how important support from
a community could be. Consola-
tion came from our friends, neigh-
bors, church community, as well as
people who we barely knew. It
seemed more about their presence,
and not their words. I noticed
there were people who had trouble
themselves dealing with such loss,
and they sort of disappeared.
Also I realized that a funeral is
not exactly a time of closure for a
family, but really just the begin-
ning of a time to accept reality and
forge ahead with the difficult
changes that life can and does deal
out. It took me years to think
about my sister and relish in her
memory rather than cringe from
What do you say?
For the the past 27 years, Las
Vegas has gone country for 10 days
in December as the city hosts the
Wrangler National Finals Rodeo
where world championships are
decided.
This years rodeo is December 6-
15 and will feature 10 nights of the
best contestants from the Profes-
sional Rodeo Cowboys Association
and Womens Professional Rodeo
Association. Up for grabs is over
six million dollars in prize money
and world championships in bare-
back riding, steer wrestling, team
roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-
down roping, womens barrel rac-
ing and bull riding.
South Dakota will be well repre-
sented with six qualifiers for this
years WNFR. There are two qual-
ifiers in saddle bronc riding, Chad
Ferley, Oelrichs, who won the
world championship in 2006, and
Cole Elshere, Faith, who has qual-
ified for the first time. Ferley is
making his sixth appearance at
the WNFR and will enter the rodeo
in sixth place with $76,366.
Elshere is in 13th with $65,837.
Todd Suhn, Hermosa, has quali-
fied for the 16th time in ninth
place with $66,136. This years
qualification ties him with Byron
Walker, Ennis, Texas, for the sec-
ond most WNFR qualifications in
steer wrestling. Roy Duvall, Boyn-
ton, Okla., is first with 24.
Representing the barrel racers
will be Lisa Lockhart, Oelrichs,
and Nikki Steffes, Vale. Lockhart
has qualified for the sixth consec-
utive time. She will start the rodeo
in ninth place with $72,462. This
is Steffes first qualification. She
started the year with a big win at
the Fort Worth Stock Show and
Rodeo and over $10,000 last Feb-
ruary. Steffes had an outstanding
college career while attending the
University of Wyoming, where she
won the womens national all-
around title twice. She will be at-
Area riders to compete in Wrangler
National Finals Rodeo in December
tending dental school in the future
but has put that on hold to take
advantage of having an outstand-
ing horse, Dash Ta Vanilla, that
she calls Nilla. They are in sixth
place in the regular season stand-
ings with $86,722.
Making his second appearance
in the bull riding will be Timber
Lakes Ardie Maier. Maier quali-
fied in 2010, but injuries kept him
from making the trip in 2011. This
year he is in sixth place in the
world standings with $90,191.
To compete at the WNFR, con-
testants had to be among the top
15 in the world standings. They
traveled across the United States
paying their own entry fees and
expenses hoping to earn enough
money to be among the elite ath-
letes who advance to rodeos cham-
pionship event. The WNFR has
seen continued growth in prize
money and fan support since it
moved to Las Vegas. Each contest-
ant will compete in 10 individual
rounds which will pay the winner
$18,257. On December 15, their
total scores and times will be
added together for average plac-
ings. First place in that category
will win $46,820 and a saddle as
the WNFR champion.
World championships are deter-
mined by adding a contestants
WNFR and regular season earn-
ings together. Those champions
have the esteemed honor of wear-
ing the traditional gold buckle that
signifies they are the worlds best
in the sport of rodeo.
Jess Tierney, Hermosa, sits 12th
in the all-around standing. He
qualified for the steer roping by
taking the seventh place spot. The
National Finals Steer Roping, held
separately from the WNFR, was
November 8-9 in Guthrie, Okla.

I hate to admit it, but sometimes
I can easily slip into the habit of
speaking negatively about people. I
do not like this about myself, and I
normally feel embarrassed once I
realize what I have done, and I
quickly take responsibility for my
shortcoming and try to make
things right.
Everybody knows that tearing
others down, being derogatory, and
spreading nasty negative things
are simply not the traits of a person
of good character and moral fiber.
Still, it often seems so much easier
for us to find the negative in other
people, but it doesn't have to be
that way.
We can learn to stop tearing oth-
ers down and become 'people
builders.' I believe that whenever
people invest their time thinking of
healthy and positive ways to build
people, it makes it a lot harder to
be so critical of others. When we ac-
tively look for ways to say some-
thing positive to, or about someone
else, and take time to recognize
people's strengths, we are ready to
'expose' the good we know when-
ever the opportunity presents it-
self. And that is people building!
When we have taken time to no-
tice the good and positive about
people, rather than the negative, it
is much easier to steer negative
conversations in the right direc-
tion. I often do this by saying some-
thing like, "Let's get to the good
news!" and then proceed to say
something uplifting about the per-
son who was being bashed.
Face it. All of us are 'a work in
progress' and none of us can say we
don't need to improve in one area
or another. And yet, don't we all
want people to think and say the
best about us anyway? Shouldn't
that make us all the more willing
to look for ways to be building oth-
ers rather than tearing them
down?
I encourage you, this week, to
recommit to being a person of high
standards and quality-one who
looks for and exposes the good in
others. Determine right now that
from now on you will be a "people
builder."

Many people suppose that salvation is Gods reward
to those who do their best to live good lives. This is not
so, for Gods Word says of those who are saved:
Who hath saved us, and called us with an
holy calling, not according to our works, but ac-
cording to His own purpose and grace, which
was given us in Christ Jesus before the world
began (II Tim. 1:9).
Referring to this salvation which is in Christ Jesus,
St. Paul says:
It is a faithful saying, for if we died with Him,
we shall also live with Him (II Tim. 2:10,11).
In other words: The believer, viewing Calvary aright,
has died with Christ. Viewing the Cross, he has said:
This is not Christs death. He was no sinner. He had no
death to die. He is dying my death! And so by faith he is
crucified with Christ (Gal. 2:20). The penalty for all his
sins has been fully paid, for he died in Christ, and thus
has also risen with Christ to walk in newness of life
(Rom 6:3,4).
This is all Gods doing, and only now is the believer in
a position to do good works that will please God. Thus
the Apostle writes of believers, in II Tim. 2: If we suffer,
we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will
deny us (Ver. 12). When the believers service for Christ
is reviewed some, indeed, will receive a reward, but
others will suffer loss, though they themselves will be
saved, yet so as by fire (I Cor. 3:14,15).
It will be deeply embarrassing, in that day, for unfaithful
Christians to face empty-handed the One who gave His
all, Himself, to save them. Yet salvation is by grace, thus
the Apostle hastens to conclude his statement in II Tim-
othy 2, with the words:
If we are unfaithful, yet He abideth faithful:
He cannot deny Himself (Ver. 13)
Thus our rewards as believers depend upon our faith-
fulness, but our salvation, thank God, on His!

Were well into the holiday sea-
son now. And while the holidays
are joyous, they can also be expen-
sive. In fact, at this time of year,
many people make spending deci-
sions they end up regretting. But
you can enjoy the holidays and still
stay on track toward your financial
goals by following a few simple
guidelines, including the following:
Set a budget and stick to it.
Whether youre buying gifts or
hosting holiday parties, you need
to establish a budget and not ex-
ceed it. The people to whom youre
giving gifts and entertaining do
not expect you to dig yourself into
a financial ditch on their account
and they wouldnt want you to
do so, either.
Compare prices. With some
searching, you can almost always
find less expensive versions of
those gifts youre considering. But
a word of caution: The earlier you
start hunting for bargains, the bet-
ter your chances of finding good
prices.
Watch for after-holiday sales.
The best bargains typically appear
when the holidays are over. While
these sales may not benefit you
this year, they can prove quite
valuable if you decide to stock up
on gifts for the next holiday sea-
son.
Dont over-use your credit
cards. Try to limit your credit card
purchases over the holidays. If you
must use a card, at least pick the
one with the lowest interest rate
and do the best you can to pay
off the card quickly. Over the last
few years, Americans have actu-
ally done a pretty good job of low-
ering their household debt levels
and thats definitely a move-
ment in which youll want to par-
ticipate. Keep in mind that the
higher your debts, the less money
youll have available each month
to invest for retirement, college for
your children or any of your other
financial goals.
Avoid dipping into long-term
investments. If you find yourself
coming up short when dealing
with holiday expenses, you may be
tempted to cash out at least a por-
tion of your long-term invest-
ments. But this should be avoided,
for at least two reasons. First, de-
pending on the account youre tap-
ping into, you may face penalties,
fees and taxes. Second, and per-
haps even more importantly, youll
be depriving yourself of resources
you had earmarked for your key
goals, such as a comfortable retire-
ment. Of course, you may eventu-
ally be able to replace the funds
youve withdrawn. But in the
meantime, youve lost out on the
growth potential these invest-
ments may have provided and
that period of lost opportunity typ-
ically cannot be regained.
Build a holiday fund. It might
be too late for this year but, once
the holidays are over, set up a spe-
cial account for next holiday sea-
son. Even if you put in only a small
amount each month, youll be
pleased with how much you can ac-
cumulate in a year. Keep the
money in a liquid, low-risk account
one thats separate from any
money you use for your normal
day-to-day expenses.
By following these suggestions,
you may be able to take some of
the stress out of this holiday sea-
son and possibly even brighten
all the other seasons of the year,
too.

reducing Wind Erosion
Seeing local crop fields that suf-
fered from wind erosion during the
high winds in late-October seems
mild compared to the dust bowl
days of the dirty thirties, recently
portrayed in the PBS documen-
tary, The Dust Bowl. If you
missed the documentary, pre-
miered November 18 and 19, 2012
on PBS, you can download it from
iTunes, and/or read about, view

bowl/.
The question was raised in the
documentary, and occasionally in
discussions, could it happen again?
The general feeling is, thanks to
conservation practices that have
been applied, the advent of no-till
farming practices, and other ad-
vances, certainly not to the scale
that it did in the 30s. In localized
areas, however, wind erosion can
be severe, lower soil productivity
and increase the costs of producing
crops.
Wind erosion physically removes
the most fertile part of the soil (or-
ganic matter, clay, and silt). Blow-
ing soil can reduce seedling sur-
vival and growth, depress crop
yields, and increase the suscepti-
bility of plants to certain types of
stress, including diseases. Wind
erosion also adversely affects peo-
ple not directly connected to the
land, by polluting the air, filling
road ditches, deteriorating water
quality, causing automobile acci-
dents, and many other problems.
Although the 2012 drought has
left few options available to farm-
ers with little or no residue on crop
fields, over the long term, there
are three main practices that have
been identified to reduce wind ero-
sion.
Reduce the wind velocity at the
soil surface. Wind speed as low as
six mph one foot above the soil sur-
face can start the movement of soil
particles with highly erodible field
conditions (smooth, bare, loose, dry
and finely granulated particles).
Wind speed increasing from 20
mph to 30 mph triples the rate of
erosion. Wind velocity at the soil
surface can be reduced with wind-
breaks, crop residue, cover crops,
surface roughness and strip crop-
ping.
Maintaining crop residue on the
soil surface and/or ridging or
roughing the soil surface will trap
moving soil particles and reduce
erosion. The smallest soil particles
can be lifted from the soil surface,
suspended, and carried many
miles before falling. Larger parti-
cles can be dislodged and moved
across the soil surface in a bounc-
ing or jumping manner, often dis-
lodging other particles from the
surface, causing a cumulative ef-
fect.
Finally, increasing the size of
soil aggregates requires a stronger
wind to move soil and cause soil
erosion. The size of soil aggregates
can be increased by using crop ro-
tations that include grasses and
legumes, growing high-residue
crops and returning the residue to
the soil, or leaving it on the soil
surface, applying manure, and re-
ducing or eliminating tillage. If
wind erosion is occurring, and/or
conditions are such that the occur-
rence seems inevitable, emergency
tillage can bring large, stable clods
to the soil surface if soil moisture
and texture allow it.

Residents from three western
counties met November 14 in
Kadoka to learn more about a
year-long training program de-
signed to assist rural regional
teams in developing new ap-
proaches to strengthen and en-
hance regional economic develop-
ment activities.
Philips Mary Burnett and
Becky Brech were present. Bur-
nett had initially explained the
year-long Stronger Economies To-
gether program to the Philip
Chamber of Commerce.
SET organizers were very
pleased to hear the commitment of
participants in working together
as a region to strengthen the local
economy. They seemed to under-
stand the power of individual com-
munities uniting under one eco-
nomic development plan for the
three counties, said Kari ONeill,
Midland. Other Midland partici-
pants at this meeting were David
and Beth Flom and Andy Blye.
Haakon, Jackson and eastern
Pennington counties have part-
nered to become the West Region
team, one of only two regions in
South Dakota selected to partici-
pate in the SET program. Adminis-
Stronger Economies Together
tered by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture Rural Devel-
opment and South Dakota State
University Extension, the SET
program is an opportunity for cur-
rent or newly formed rural, multi-
county teams to receive the latest
tools, training and technical assis-
tance to help their region move for-
ward and take advantage of posi-
tive growth and quality of life op-
portunities.
During the year-long program,
the selected regions will receive in-
tensive strategic planning training
for their regional team. They will
also receive data base tools de-
signed to examine the critical driv-
ers of their region and identify
emerging growth sectors and re-
gional competitive advantages.
The teams will also receive techni-
cal assistance and educational
support. The teams will share ed-
ucation and information with more
than 40 other SET regions around
the country.
The SET program is an unique
opportunity for participants to
learn how to determine what eco-
nomic opportunities exist in the re-
gion and then develop a practical
plan to capitalize on their poten-
tial, said Christine Sorensen, SET
program coordinator with USDA
Rural Development.
In addition, the SET program
encourages involvement from all
regional residents as their diverse
personal and professional experi-
ences can add valuable perspective
to an economic development plan,
Sorensen added.
All Haakon, Jackson and east-
ern Pennington county residents,
including business owners, farm-
ers/ranchers, employees, parents,
educators, healthcare profession-
als, elected leaders, seniors, clergy
and youth are invited to partici-
pate in SET training sessions,
which will be held monthly in var-
ious locations in the west region.
The next training session is
scheduled for January 2 in Philip
from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The lo-
cation will be announced later. At
the January 2 session, partici-
pants will examine regional demo-
graphic date and its impacts on
their economy.

The Hereford Volunteer Fire De-
partment station was broken into
and an estimated $18,000 worth of
equipment was stolen.
The incident occurred approxi-
mately two weeks ago. Stolen
items include Johnson inter-
agency radios, portable generator,
flotation water pump, medical kit,
self contained breathing apparatus
and its spare bottles, and an older
light bar.
According to Walt Haley, Here-
ford fire chief, the equipment was
pretty much brand new, used only
Hereford Volunteer Fire
Department burglarized
in training. The light bar was the
only older item.
Basically, you steal from every-
one when you do that, said Haley.
Thats what ticked everyone off,
not what they stole, but that they
stole from the fire department.
A passing resident was taking
her children to school and noticed
that the walk-in door was ajar. She
then contacted a fire department
member. The building has no win-
dows, and in gaining entry, the
thieves destroyed the door. The
perpetrator(s) went through the
fire trucks, taking some items
from the building and leaving oth-
ers.
You accumulate stuff and it
gets to be a really big number,
said Haley. Ive been at this for
over 25 years, and I havent got
fired yet. I think I got the job be-
cause I can do the paperwork.
If anyone can supply any infor-
mation concerning the break-in,
contact the South Dakota Fire
Marshals Office at 605-773-3562.

Reports were current that mem-
bers of the gang of Al Capone are
planning to attempt to control the
legal beer business in Chicago, if
and when beer is legalized. The
Chicago Herold and Examiner said
it has heard that gangsters hold
options on two brewers, and that
they were negotiating for more
plants. The newspapers said its in-
formation was that the gangs

quences.

Gus Salee shot a deer one mile
north of Creighton on Tuesday of
last week. It may not be news to
say that Gus shot a deer, but it is
news when one is shot in this sec-
tion of the country. Deer have been
seen in the breaks north of town at
different times but they are very
few and none has been seen, in
open season for a good many years.
This was a fine specimen and was
in fine flesh. Gus was in luck to get
a deer so early in the season and
without leaving his home commu-
nity.

The million dollar high-line of
the Bureau of Reclamation run-
ning from Rapid City to Midland
has not been energized as was an-
nounced by radio and press the
past weekend, according to O.S.
Soma, manager of the local WREA.
There is still a section to be com-
pleted that connects this new
power line to the source of power
of the Black Hills Light and Power
Company, says Soma. A temporary
sub-station is being constructed by
WREA near Box Elder, which will
enable a part of WREAs load to be
carried on this new line as soon as
it becomes energized. This will re-
lieve some of the overload of the
present lines, but still will not give
the full benefits until the perma-
nent high voltage sub-stations are
in operation.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
with Dr. James
Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QUESTioN: As a young couple
just starting out, we're eager to ac-
quire good communication skills
that will help us build a successful
lifelong marriage. In particular,
we'd like to learn how to make
major decisions together with the
least amount of conflict and misun-
derstanding. Can you help us?
ANSWEr: The most successful
marriages are those in which hus-
band and wife learn how to function
as a team and lean on one another's
strengths. If the woman is better at
finances, then she's in charge of the
budget. If the man is better at plan-
ning, he maps out family outings,
vacations and family devotions. As
on a football squad, each player
uses his talents and works with the
others for the good of the whole
team. If one player tries to do it all,
the team suffers. If one player in-
sists on playing a position he's not
gifted for, the same thing happens.
This analogy bears special appli-
cation to an appropriate under-
standing of Ephesians 5:22-30,
where the apostle Paul writes that
the husband has a special position
to play as "head" of the wife. This
doesn't mean that the man is
granted free rein to dominate the
woman in an authoritarian manner.
Instead, he's supposed to act as a
wise "team captain," recognizing his
wife's strengths and using them for
the benefit of the entire family.
If the "captain" is truly looking
out for the best interests of the rest
of the team, and if he's willing to
sacrifice for the common good, wise
decisions will be made. Those deci-
sions may be made jointly, or by
each spouse in his or her area of ex-
pertise. Either way, your goal as a
couple should be to make decisions
that strengthen and benefit your re-
lationship.
Here are some guidelines for
making decisions that you can fol-
low individually and together:
1. Apply sound judgment. God
has given the two of you rational
minds and the ability to investigate.
He expects you to use them in your
decision making.
2. List pros and cons. Sometimes
seeing on paper the benefits and
detriments of possible choices helps
to put things in perspective.
3. Consult God's Word. When
making a decision, study the Bible
and see what God has to say on the
subject specifically or in principle.
4. Pray. Many couples find that if
both spouses are praying about a
decision, God gives them a "peace"
about taking one direction over an-
other.
5. Seek wise counsel. "Pride only
breeds quarrels, but wisdom is
found in those who take advice"
(Proverbs 13:10). Don't be afraid to
talk to other couples, a pastor or a
mentor about your decision. Some-
times others can see more objec-
tively than you can. This is espe-
cially helpful when the two of you
have different points of view and
can't seem to agree or compromise.
One last point: when couples who
share a Christian commitment
come to a fork in the road, they usu-
ally want to know if their choice of
direction reflects God's will. Some-
times they're burdened by fears
that they may miss the "one and
only right choice." But decisions
aren't always a matter of absolute
right or wrong; sometimes they're
about preference. If consulting
Scripture and other mature believ-
ers doesn't turn up a spiritual prin-
ciple to follow, you're probably pick-
ing between two or more equally
valid choices. In that case, the Lord
promises to guide you - often invisi-
bly and imperceptibly - as you take
your concerns to Him in prayer. Re-
member the words of the apostle
James: "If any of you lacks wisdom,
he should ask God, who gives gen-
erously to all without finding fault,
and it will be given to him" (James
1:5).
QUESTioN: Is it important for
families to share meals together?
Everyone in our household is busy
with outside activitiesschool
sports, church youth group outings,
committee meetings, late nights at
the office, ballet lessons, band prac-
tice, etc., etc. We rarely have time to
sit down at the dinner table to-
gether. Meals are usually squeezed
into the brief moments between
other commitments and eaten on
the run. Is this a problem? If so,
what do you think we should do
about it?
ANSWEr: Your situation is not
unusual. In fact, its a growing con-
cern for many families today. But
viewed from the right angle, it could
represent a hidden opportunity. Be-
lieve it or not, theres tremendous
potential here to raise the quality of
life in your home and enhance the
depth of your family relationships.
The importance of food to the
health of our physical bodies is ob-
vious. but the context in which we
take this nourishment is equally
crucial to our overall well-being. We
are not animals that graze in a field
or gather at a trough. We do not in-
hale our food and then wander
away. We are supposed to get fed at
the table in more ways than one.
Meals are a time for socializing,
conversation, sharing, and celebra-
tion. Family meals can be powerful
events in the lives of both children
and adults. They can and should be
an occasion for sharing the days
events, decompressing, commiserat-
ing, and encouraging one another.
Theyre a time to laugh, learn how
to speak and listen politely, instill
values, establish ones identity as a
member of the family, welcome
guests, and acknowledge Gods pro-
vision on a day-to-day basis.
How important and powerful is
this experience of family together-
ness at the dinner table? In a classic
case of scientific research corrobo-
rating common sense, a 2010 study
on The Importance of Family Din-
ners (published by Columbia Uni-
versitys National Center on Addic-
tion and Substance Abuse) found
that teens who have five to seven
family dinners per week are twice
as likely to receive higher grades in
school (As or Bs) and three times
likelier to say that they have excel-
lent relationships with their par-
ents. Theyre also many times less
prone to experiment with smoking,
drinking, and drug abuse as com-
pared with those who have fewer
than three family meals a week.
Unfortunately, family dinners are
an endangered species. As in your
case, they are widely threatened by
over-commitment, crowded calen-
dars, and electronic distractions
such as TVs, computers, and
phones. The good news is that this
trend can often be resisted. But this
requires intentionality. To be spe-
cific, it takes a deliberate decision
on the part of every family member
to make shared meals a priority.
Here are some practical strategies
you may want to consider:
Set aside three, if not more,
nights per week (perhaps including
a cooks day off meal after church
on Sunday) to be designated for
family meals. The expectation is
that all hands will be on deck,
even young children, unless prior
notice is given.
After considering the ages and
abilities represented in your family,
establish routines that will spread
the work around, thus relieving
mom of some of the burden of prepa-
ration. The tasks involved in plan-
ning the menu, preparing the vari-
ous components of the meal, and
cleaning up can be rotated among
the able-bodied family members
who are living at home. Younger
children can learn to set the table.
Everybody should help clear it.
Table manners (including such
niceties as pulling out chairs for the
ladies and waiting to eat until
everyone is seated and grace has
been said) can and should be en-
couraged.
Televisions should be turned off.
Phones should be turned off, taken
off the hook, or left unanswered.
This is a time to talk to one another
unhindered by the yammering of
the tube or the demands of
whomever decides to text or call
you.
Speaking of talking: you dont
want to restrict topics of conversa-
tion too severely, but its wise to ad-
dress hot family issues at some
other time. If mealtimes become a
hotbed of constant bickering and
animosity, no one will want to show
up. Ideally, the family table should
be a place of warmth, respect,
safety, genuine interest in what
everyone has to say, and mutual
support. If the kids are having trou-
ble with this, some role-modeling of
respectful conversation from Mom
and Dad will speak volumes. If no
one seems to have much to say, you
can stir the pot with a few open-
ended questions, such as, What
was the highlight of your day? or
What didnt go well today?
While youre at it, mealtimes
can also provide opportunities to
talk with your children about the
foods they (and you) eat, and why
some are definitely better than oth-
ers. Obviously, learning by example
at the tablesampling the foods
youre discussingcan help set pat-
terns that will last a lifetime.

4H CLUB
Submitted by Carter Elshere
The Elm Springs Ranchers 4H
Club met Sunday, November 25th
at noon at Kassandra Linn's house
in Elm Springs. Members present
were Carter and Camri Elshere,
Savana, Carlee, and Carson John-
ston, and Kassandra Linn.
Election of officers were held.
President - Mazee Pauley, VP -
Carlee Johnston, Secretary -
Carter Elshere, Treasurer - Kas-
sandra Linn.
Other business: Membership
forms were filled out online. The
member roster and Leader paper-
work was also completed. Dues
will be mailed this week. Each club
is required to re-charter this year.
That paperwork was also filled out
and readied for the mail.
The club members discussed
community service. The members
will help undecorate the church
after the program in December.
The club members also agreed to
clean road ditches sometime after
the holidays.
The meeting adjourned 2pm.
Kassandra provided treats.
Just because the season has
changed, it doesn't mean that you
have to give up on your workout
routine. Here are a few winter
workout tips from Aaron Ruth,
strength and conditioning coach at
St. Vincent's Sports Performance in
Indianapolis, which works with
more than 300 professional and
amateur athletes. You can stay fit
no matter what the temperature is
outside.
Don't Skip the Warm Up - In
colder weather, your muscles are
tighter, making them more prone
to muscle pulls and strains. Spend
a little more time warming up your
body to help you avoid injury.
Stay Hydrated - When it's cooler
outside, you generally drink less
water - but when you exercise, you
still sweat and lose fluids and elec-
trolytes. Be sure to drink plenty of
water before and during your work-
out to avoid dehydration.
Dress in Layers - Exercising gen-
erates body heat and sweat, and
when sweat starts to dry in cold
weather you can get chilled. Dress
in layers that can be removed when
you start to sweat. Start with a
thin layer of synthetic material
which will draw sweat away from
your body. Then add a layer of
fleece or wool, and top it all off with
a waterproof and breathable outer
layer.
Protect Your Extremities - When
it's cold outside, the body tends to
concentrate blood flow to the core,
which can leave your hands, feet
and ears susceptible to frostbite.
Wear gloves, warm socks and a hat
or headband.
Have a Post-Workout Refueling
Plan - What you put in your body
after you work out is just as impor-
tant, if not more, than what you
put in it before. After exercising, re-
fuel and rebuild your muscles with
essential carbs and protein by
drinking great tasting Rockin' Re-
fuel(r) Intense Recovery protein
fortified milk. Made with 100 per-
cent real milk, Intense Recovery is
packed with 20 grams of natural
protein and features a 2:1 carb to
protein ratio, which is ideal for op-
timal muscle recovery.
Wear Sunscreen - It might be
cooler outside, but you can still get
sunburned. Choose sunscreen that
blocks both UVA and UVB rays,
and has an SPF of at least 30. Don't
forget to protect your lips with a lip
balm that has sunscreen.
Vary Your Routine - Beat the
winter workout blues by changing
up your routine - and by having
fun. Get the whole family moving
by doing things together such as
building a snowman, going ice
skating or sledding, making snow
angels, and having a snowball
fight.

When the temperatures drop, the
last thing you need is for your heat-
ing or plumbing system to act up.
Some basic maintenance can help to
ensure your home plumbing and
heating systems are functioning
properly.
A regular maintenance schedule
helps protect you against system or
appliance failures that leave you
with a crisis requiring urgent - and
potentially very costly - solutions.
To help protect your home during
the cold winter months, American
Home Shield, one of the nation's
leading providers of home warranty
services, shares some tips for mak-
ing sure your heating unit and
plumbing system are in good condi-
tion to handle extreme tempera-
tures.
Heating Maintenance:
Check filters every month.
Make sure floor vents are not
blocked to ensure clear air flow.
Visually inspect exhaust vent for
rust, damage or deterioration.
Be familiar with the manufac-
turer's maintenance recommenda-
tions for your specific unit. This in-
formation is typically available on-
line and in your owner's guide.
Plumbing maintenance:
Only flush toilet paper down a
toilet.
Maintain water softener accord-
ing to manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
Water filters and icemaker fil-
ters should be changed according to
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
Avoid using your garbage dis-
posal if you're on a septic system.
Drain sediment from water
heater tank according to manufac-
turer's recommendations.
If you aren't familiar, locate your
master valve so you can quickly
turn your home's water off if a line
breaks. In most homes, the valve is
located near the water heater, the
clothes washer, or where the water
service line enters your home.
Check the hose bibs to clothes
washers to ensure they are tightly
connected to minimize leaks and
overuse of the system.
Taking these steps can help keep
your home systems in good working
order throughout the winter. But
not everyone has the time or skills
to do the maintenance required.
A professional preventative main-
tenance program can be a time- and
money-saver for homeowners. Qual-
ity service providers perform a thor-
ough check of your home's systems
and appliances to help ensure they
are operating efficiently.
Protect your home from winters chill
The holidays are back, and with
them comes a host of new video
games on store shelves. Picking out
the right video game for your kids
or any other family member or
friend can feel like a daunting
task. To help lighten the load, here
are three tips to make your holiday
video game search easier:
Check out the rating. Nearly
every video game found in stores
has rating information from the En-
tertainment Software Rating Board
(ESRB) on the box. This rating is
similar to the Motion Picture Asso-
ciation of Americas (MPAA) ratings
for movies. Check the front of the
box for a rating icon representing
one of the following Rating Cate-
gories:
E (Everyone)
E10+ (Everyone 10 and older)
T (Teen) or M (Mature), meaning
17 or older
Flip the box to find Content De-
scriptors, which offer more detail as
to why the game earned a particular
rating (via phrases like Suggestive
Themes and Fantasy Violence).
The ESRBs retail partners, such as
GameStop, only sell ESRB-rated
games, giving you a head start to-
ward finding age-appropriate titles.
Go online. The ESRB website,
www.ESRB.org, and their free mo-
bile app offer game rating informa-
tion along with more detailed Rat-
ing Summaries, which give a more
in-depth explanation of the content
that factored into the games rating.
You can also visit www.Respect-
TheRatings.com for tips to help you
be more aware of and involved in
childrens gaming experiences. Tips
include how to discuss gaming
habits and online content, and how
to activate game consoles parental
controls. There is also a Gaming 101
section that explains video game
terms like FPS (first person
shooter) and RPG (role-playing
game).
Talk to experts. According to the
Entertainment Software Associa-
tion, 73 percent of all video games
sold last year were rated E through
T. Though the majority of titles are
likely okay for most gamers, you
may want to do additional research
to find ones that best match your
gamers particular interests and
abilities.
This is where experts come in
handy, and finding one can be sur-
prisingly simple. For example, the
Game Advisors at every GameStop
are avid gamers who are educated
on the latest titles and trends and
often have first-hand experience
with most games, whether having
played them themselves or watched
their children play. If your kids like
creative fantasy, ask about Skylan-
ders Giants or Epic Mickey 2: The
Power of Two. And if physically ac-
tive gaming is important to you, ask
for more details on Kinect for the
Xbox 360, or Nintendos new Wii U
console.
Searching for the right video
game gift can not only be easy, but
fun, too, for kids and parents alike.
Ask to try out a particular game or
