County discusses new library, will continue to offer driver license exams services
~ by Ronda Dennis ~ Jackson County held back-toback public hearings Friday night to discuss options for a new county library and the fate of continuing to offer driver license exams. With approximately 25 people in attendance Jim Stilwell said theres a couple of options: build a new structure at the existing location or purchase the FSA building. In addition to the fact the county would like to keep the library on Main Street, several of the pros and cons were also discussed. The commissioners said there could be an option to purchase land from Joe Handrahan (who did not attend the meeting) directly north of the library, demolish the current library building and build a new library. However, that would take time and there would be no property to house the library during the construction phase. They also noted that the FSA building is for sale and it already has existing offices: NRCS, JC Soil Conservation and Youth and Family Services. Employees from these offices attended the meeting, however, they could not say if they would continue to rent from the county; it was not their call. If the county purchases the FSA building and the three lots south of the building there would not be room for the CAP office. Neither of the FSA office owners, Rich Hildebrand or Jim Kujawa, were at the meeting to answer questions. The FSA owners had sounded interested in some type of land trading. Eileen Stolley gave her personal support for utilizing the FSA office and cleaning up the other lots and using the old library location for a new business. Delores Bonenberger said if the library stays on Main Street, people have offered to help with donations and fundraisers. Marlene Knutson of Central South Dakota Enhancement District said there will need to be an assessment plan to go forward with grant funding. However, the deadline is July 13 and the next deadline would not be until October 15. Funding a new library could be done through CDBG or an opt out. Commissioner Glen Bennett said, We need to know tonight if you (the people) want us to a apply for a grant or opt out. With a show of hands, everyone was supportive of applying for a grant and purchasing the FSA office. Letters of support, according to Knutson, will help with the grant application. They may be sent to the Jackson County Auditor at PO Box 280, Kadoka, SD 57543 by July 9. There were 37 people attending the public hearing for the drivers license exam issue. Mitzi Mitchell said in 2009 she issued 391 licenses and through the month of May the count is already at 305. They are offered Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The people asked that the county cross train other office people in the court house and keep the service open. The commissioners said they had never replaced anyone in the director of equalization office after Mitchell took over as register of deeds. It would be foolish to get rid of a service that brings people to town, one noted. People said, keep the service. A brief discussion was held on whether or not to have the court house offices open or closed during the lunch hour. It was decided to keep the offices closed.

Correction from Last Weeks Column As anyone who has followed the SDSU Extension Re-organization knows, the plan for the new SDSU Extension system was unveiled in April, 2011, not 2012 as stated in last weeks column. Sorry for the error. 2012 Pesticide Container Recycle Collections Pesticide container recycling collections across South Dakota will begin in the middle of July. Dates, times and locations of the collection sites can be found on the SD Dept of Ag, Agricultural Services website: http://sdda.sd.gov/Ag_Services/. Under Agronomy Services Programs, click Container Recycling & Waste Pesticide Collection Program, and scroll down to 2012 Pesticide Container Recycling Collection Schedule. Immediately below that is a link to a version of the schedule containing links to a map of each collection site. The website contains good information on pesticide container disposal and recycling, as well as information on the waste (unusable) pesticide collection program. Oil Spills and Farms: Protecting Your Business Farms now have less than one year to prepare or amend and implement their Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans. The compliance date for farms is May 10, 2013. You need an SPCC plan if: an oil spill from your farm could reach water and you store oil (diesel, gasoline, hydraulic oil, lube oil,
crop oil or vegetable oil, etc. in aboveground quantities of more than 1,320 gallons, or completely buried tanks of more than 42,000 gallons. For more information or to download an SPCC plan template, visit: http://www.epa.gov/oem/content/spcc/spcc_ag.htm. Livestock Water Testing Just to remind producers that all of Regional Extension Centers and many County Extension offices have handheld electrical conductivity meters and welcome samples. These meters provide an instant analysis of total salt content that might cause problems for livestock drinking the water, and at no cost to the producer. Rural water and pipelines have reduced the dependence on water in stock dams for many producers, but if you rely on stock dams, testing the water will help avoid performance and health problems. Elevated salt levels may suggest that producers should submit a sample to a laboratory for a more detailed analysis, which can determine the makeup of the salts, and the sulfate portion of the total salt content, which can cause specific problems such as polio.

Dr. C.

Read 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 Spiritual discernment is a supernatural ability, which requires supernatural power. In our human The Power Source for Discernment strength, we can rely only on what we see, hear, feel, and know in order to make decisions and evaluate circumstances and relationships. But when the Holy Spirit comes to live within us, He opens up an entirely new dimension of understanding. He shows us things we could never figure out by ourselves. Although the Bible is the basis for spiritual discernment, without the interpreting power of the Spirit, reading it would be strictly an academic endeavor. But the Spirit takes the words and brings them to life in the hearts of those who have trusted Christ as their Savior. He knows precisely how to apply God's Word to our exact need at just the right moment. Haven't you found this to be true? You've read a passage many times, but just when you need a particular message, that familiar verse jumps off the page right into your heart. That's the work of the Spirit. He is the only one who knows the thoughts of the Father, and His job is to open our minds to understand "the things freely given to us by God" (v. 12). The Lord isn't trying to hide His thoughts from us; rather, He wants us to know how He thinks so that we can proceed wisely. So what should we do if we're struggling to understand Scripture? First of all, the Lord wants us to seek Him and ask for wisdom to comprehend. This requires time and energy invested in Bible study and prayer. Second, the more yielded we are to the Spirit, the more we'll be able to hear His voice.

drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2010 was almost five times higher at night (6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.) than during the day (6 a.m. to 5:59 p.m.) for the July 4th 2010 holiday period (6:00 p.m. July 2 - 5:59 a.m. July 6.) In fact, more than 80 percent of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities took place at nighttime (6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.) What is even more tragic about the statistics is we see a high number of fatalities among 18- to 34year-olds. Forty-six percent of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities during the 2010 Fourth of July holiday period were within this age group. These are people who have their whole life ahead of them, but in one instant, one act of irresponsibility, they can lose it all. There is simply too much at stake to ever drive impaired. There are numerous consequences as a result of being caught driving impaired, such as the risk of killing or harming others, jail time, insurance hikes, potential loss of drivers license, just to name a few. Those who try to drink and drive this Fourth of July should be forewarned. We will be out in force looking for impaired drivers, and we will catch and arrest you. No warnings. No excuses. If you drive impaired, you will be arrested. The Jackson County Sheriffs Office recommends these simple tips for a safe Fourth of July: Plan a safe way home before the fun begins; Before drinking, designate a sober driver; If youre impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation; If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, dont hesitate to call 911 and report it to your local Law Enforcement; And remember, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. If you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely. --Sheriff Raymond Clements, Jr. Jackson County Sheriff
Healthy Cooking Techniques Cooking healthy doesnt mean that you have to go to culinary school or purchase expensive cookware. Eating healthy is about preparation, seasonings, and choices of foods you eat. Good health depends on good nutrition. Go to http://www.choosemyplate.gov/supertracker-tools/supertracker.html for help with planning, analyzing, and tracking diet and physical activity. In addition, you can often make better choices about what and how much you eat by preparing and cooking food yourself. The food preparation methods you choose for cooking foods can have a big effect on their nutrient content. Cooking methods that minimize the amount of water, time and temperature needed, will help to preserve nutrients. Use any leftover cooking water for making sauces or soups. Reduce cooking time by covering your pot to hold in steam and heat. Steaming is a good example of a cooking method that cooks vegetables quickly and retains nutrients. Steamed vegetables will retain more flavors and wont need any salt. To lower sodium intake, avoid using prepackaged seasoning mixes. Instead add fresh or dried
herbs such as thyme and rosemary for pungent flavor or dry mustard for a zesty flavor. At the last moment before serving, try sprinkling citrus juice as a flavor enhancer on fruits or vinegar on vegetables. In a wok, quickly cook small pieces of vegetables, poultry or seafood in vegetable stock or a small amount of oil to stir fry foods. Soy sauce and Teriyaki seasonings should be avoided because of their high sodium content. Baking and roasting are two healthy ways you can prepare meats and fish. When roasting, use a rack in the pan so the food doesnt sit in its own fat drippings. Use fat-free liquids like lemon juice or tomato juice to baste. Bake poultry, lean meat or fish in a covered dish with a little extra liquid. Grilling is another way to cook your favorite lean meats or vegetables in a healthy way. Place the food on a grill rack over an open flame. Use a long-handled grill basket for grilling smaller items. Healthy decisions start at home. Make better food choices by planning ahead. By getting children involved in meal planning and healthy cooking it will be easier to make healthy changes.

Nicci DeVries spent part of Sunday helping to set up a fireworks booth at Kadoka. It is a fundraiser of sorts for the AAU wrestling club, and is located across the street from Discount Fuel in a trailer by what used to be the Sidekicks Restaurant and Texaco station. It was rather a warm day for such activities, but the job got done. The Lions Club used to sell fireworks in town, but they have retired from that activity so the wrestling club took it up. The DeVries boys were left at home to mow the yard and such, and Mark DeVries was reclaiming his tractor which had broken down and was being repaired. The tractor is needed for haying this coming week. After the 4th, the DeVries family hopes to attend a family reunion at Ft. Robinson in Nebraska. This is a Rickenbach reunion, which is Velma DeVries family, and often attracts close to a hundred people. Nicci was hoping for cool weather since there is no air conditioning at Ft. Robinson although there is a swimming pool. Jim and Tim DeVries left Wednesday for their home in Kansas but are expected back later in the summer. Larry, Jo, and Jenny Johnston attended a Svenson family reunion in Spearfish this weekend. Since son, David Neisner, was here from his home in Freemont, Ohio, he went along. This reunion is held every other year or so. Jos mom was expected to be there as were all four of Jos sisters. Marie Addison attended the regular Wednesday meeting of her quilting group in Kadoka last week. The group makes quilts for the childrens home in Rockerville. Afterwards, Marie stopped at the Kadoka Nursing Home and had a good visit with Kate DeVries. On the way back to Murdo and to make it a full day, she stopped to see her grandson, John Addison, and family northeast of Belvidere. On Sunday, Marie came to church in Belvidere per usual. Grace McKillip came with her from Murdo as she often does. Grace is from this area originally since she is a sister to Vernie Sampson, Blanche Dolezal and Dorothy Blom. Joy Dolezal recently spent a week near Deadwood with her dad, Jim Ramey. He is normally helped some by Joys sister, Jane, but Jane had to be away since her husband was having neck surgery. Grandkids Joanna and Dale Nemec came to help her out. Jim lives at such a high elevation in the Hills that it is usually quite cool. While Joy was there, however, the thermometer read 100 degrees one day. Joy does not work at 1880 Town all that much during the summer when the snowbirds are working there, but she did help early in the season and will probably go back this fall. She does go out and do odd jobs from time to time and when someone else cant be there. Grady Davis spent last week attending Victory Center Bible Camp near Ft. Pierre. The week before that, his brothers, Garrett and Gage, attended that camp. While his brothers were at camp, Grady spent time cowboying with his grandpa, Bob Fortune. This weekend, Francie, Chad and boys took care of their young cousin, Jaden, whose mom, Kathleen Nelson, of Philip had other things to do. Last week, Kenny, Roxie and Wade Fox sold some cattle at Ft. Pierre. This mostly consisted of dry cows, etc. While there, they got Kenny some new fishing equipment. That will be needed this week for a trip to visit Shawn and Jodi Fox at Mobridge which is next to the Missouri. Shawn is a policeman there and will be busy on the
