The Way to Heavenby Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

Perhaps you have heard the story of the man who inquired from a mountaineer the way to a certain destination.The mountaineer stuttered and stammered and finally said: “You can’t get there from here.”We may smile at this, but the results would be even more amusing — and sad — were we to ask the average person on the street the way to heaven.What is the way to heaven? It is interesting to read in God’s Word what many think about this. In Proverbs 14:12 we read:“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”

What are some of these “ways” that “seem right” to men, leading them to hope for heaven? Joining a church? Being baptized? Doing one’s best? Keep-ing the Ten Commandments? Loving one’s neighbor as himself? These are a few of the ways that men follow, hoping to gain eternal life, but they allcome under one heading: “Do good.”

But what do the Scriptures say about this? In the Gospel according to John there are recorded for us seven “I ams,” which the Lord Jesus Christ usedin speaking of Himself.

One of these is found in John 14:6:“I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me.”This passage has a double significance, since it was not only the declaration of the Lord Jesus Christ, but at the same time a declaration of the divine-

ly inspired Scriptures. From this verse we learn not only that Jesus is the only way to the Father, but also that He is “the truth” to be believed and trust-ed in. Thus we can believe the Lord Jesus when He claims to be the way to heaven.

But according to this passage He is also “the life.” As we place our faith in Him as the One who died on the cross for us, we receive eternal life. “Hedied that we might live.”

Two Minutes With the Bible

“Then God said, ‘Let us makehumankind in our image, accord-ing to our likeness….’ So God cre-ated humankind in his image, inthe image of God he created them;male and female he createdthem…. God saw everything thathe had made, and indeed it wasvery good!” (Genesis 1:26a, 27,31a)

“God saw everything that hehad made, and indeed it was verygood!” Not many years ago therewas a bumper sticker that read“God don’t make no junk!” Howtrue. Each man and woman, boyand girl is made in the image ofGod. Every person made by theCreator’s hand is a Masterpiece,meticulously knit together onecell at a time until “ta-da!!!”another Masterpiece from theMaster’s hands. Just as God cre-ated the heavens and the earth,the sky, the stars, the planets,the sun and moon, the animals,insects, fish in the sea, the firsthuman beings and called them“very good,” God still calls whathe has created and continues tocreate, “very good” today. Thetrouble is, we in our sinful naturedon’t know how to be good stew-ards of God’s blessings and some-times it is abhorrent the way wetreat one another.

Every one of us, in some way orother, has gone through periodsof good natured teasing frompeers. But, when the teasingbecomes “name-calling,” “de-

meaning someone by attackingtheir character,” or seeking to“ruin someone’s reputation,”because we think that it’s “fun,”then the teasing becomes “bully-ing.” Someone who we think“talks funny,” “looks different,”“wears glasses,” or who might beslow in school, or comes from a“poor family,” usually gets “bul-lied.” What happens is that weend up with serious situations,like Columbine High School a fewyears ago. Two high school boyswho were bullied because theywere “different” took matters intotheir own hands and shot andkilled many classmates beforeturning the weapons on them-selves.

Today, “bullying” or “hazing” insome places has become evenmore extreme through “texting.”The old saying “sticks and stoneswill break by bones, but wordswill never hurt me,” is wrong —in fact, it’s a lie. Words do hurt.Perhaps bullies themselves are“bullied” at home by a parent oran older sibling, so in order tohave “power” and “control” atschool, someone is bullied. Youdon’t have to physically hurtsomebody in order to hurt some-body. Physical cuts, bumps andbruises will heal, but the bully-ing, the verbal abuse that some ofus think is “funny” or “cute,” thathurt goes a lot deeper. It touchesthe “spirit,” the “soul.” Yes, that’sright, the person you bully, made

just like you, that adult, thatteenager, that child, was madein God’s image. That person hasa physical body and also a “spir-it” a “soul.” You want to talkabout breaking the command-ment, “you shall not kill,” — ifyou bully a person you are grad-ually killing that person, wholike you, was made in “theimage of God,” who God calls“very good.” You are destroyingthat person’s character, person-ality. The victims of bullyingand the bullies who themselvesare victims, need help. Bullyingdoesn’t just happen in schoolsand on the playground with thekids, but sometimes at work-places. Adults may be bullied byother adults, too. All schoolsand communities face the “bul-lying” problem. If it’s a majorproblem in our community andour schools, it’s time we dosomething about it. Let’s stopbeating one another up, physi-cally and verbally. That’s notwhy God created us.

Instead, let’s “do justice.”That’s why God created us.“Doing justice” is the first ofthree requirements, if we are tobe the people who God createdus to be. Micah 6:8 says it well:”…and what does the Lordrequire of you but to do justice,and to love kindness, and towalk humbly with your God.”In Christ’s love,Pastor Rick Hazen

Obituary

Whooping cough cases rise; parents urged to immunize kids

Whooping cough cases are onthe rise and a state health officialis urging parents to make suretheir children are immunized.

Nationally, 48 states and Wash-ington DC have reported increasesin whooping cough, also known aspertussis, through September. InSouth Dakota, cases are up 87 per-cent over the five-year median,with 56 cases reported as of Octo-ber 3. Most of those cases are inschool-age children and resultfrom an outbreak in a school set-ting. Neighboring Minnesotareports nearly 4,000 pertussiscases, the most since 1943, whileIowa reports more than 1,100cases this year.

“Pertussis causes uncontrol-lable coughing, rib fractures,pneumonia, loss of consciousnessand even death,” said Colleen Win-ter, Director of Health and MedicalServices, Department of Health.“Very young children are at high-est risk, with two-thirds of kidsunder age one who get it needinghospitalization.”

The department provides freepertussis vaccine for children,with doses recommended at twomonths, four months, six months,15-18 months, and four-six years.Children need the complete seriesto be fully protected. A boosterdose is also recommended at 11-12years as immunity begins to wane.The department provides thatbooster dose free as well.

Winter said the booster doseprotects middle school studentsfrom the disease and increases thering of protection around vulnera-ble infants. Because whoopingcough is highly contagious andspreads easily in the school set-ting, immunizing the older agegroup also helps decrease the like-lihood of outbreaks.

Parents can contact their usualvaccine provider to request thevaccine. Some schools will also bescheduling clinics to offer thewhooping cough vaccine alongwith the seasonal flu vaccine.

Enjoying his lunch… Larry, the school pet, sucks the nour-ishment from a large fly as he feasts in his aquarium.

Neck and neck… Skylar Green, Kalli Hespe and Jessie Har-rison race toward the finish line.

Larry the Praying Mantis resides in science roomby Paige Venard

An exotic bug came to the schoolfrom the Ford Garage, where theyfound the praying mantis justhanging around. Some peoplespeculate that the mantis came offa car that was brought to thegarage, but how she got here isunknown. Steven O’Dell broughtthe bug to school and it was passedaround from class to class forobservation. The mantis ended upliving in an aquarium in the biolo-gy lab; the students have beenpaying close attention to its move-ments and eating habits. Manystudents have collected bugs towatch the mantis eat.

Advanced biology class havebecome mother and father figurestowards “Larry” (the class namedher before they knew if she was aboy or girl). Teacher Mathewsordered meal worms and cricketsfor the mantis to feast on, butother students have brought spi-ders and flies they catch aroundthe school and home.

The African Praying Mantisranges in colors from greens,browns and creams. They typicallyhave small white or yellow coloredeyes that can be found on eitherside of wing cases when they aregrown to adult. They are a medi-um to large size ranging from 60-80mm in length.

Both male and female mantisare capable of flying, but when thefemale becomes too heavy witheggs she typically just jumps. Theyare typically found throughoutmost of Africa, just below theSahara. They live in warm and dryenvironments.

The Praying Mantis is commonlyknown for its front legs, which arebent and held together at an anglethat suggests the position ofprayer. They are very large preda-tors with triangular-shaped headson a long neck or elongated thorax.They can turn their head up 180degrees to scan their surroundingswith their two prominent eyes andthree smaller eyes in between.They prey on moths, crickets,grasshoppers, spiders, flies, cater-pillars, earwigs, mice and smallrodents. They will also eat theirown kind, and typically duringmating, the female will eat hermate just after or during mating.

Praying mantises will eat asmany as 800-1000 bugs in their

lifetimes and will usually live upto nine months. Daily they will eatas many as seven flies, but theydon’t have to eat every day. Theygrow every few weeks when themantis will stop eating for 24hours and split its skin and stepout of his old shell. Approximately12 hours later the bug will be back

to his normal routine. They willgrow about five or six times beforereaching maturity.

Having the mantis “Larry”around in the school has sparkedsome interest in students in hav-ing ant farms and frog’s plants, toraise in the lab for observation andknowledge.

Testing it out… Chad Johnson gives the new welding equip-ment a test run during class.

Shop room receives much needed upgrade

by Nicki KellTaking on a new look, the shop

room is sporting a makeover withsome advanced tools and acces-sories. Welding students RandyLebeda, Chad Johnson and CaseyBrink enjoy using their new weld-ing gear. The boys received newhelmets, gloves, jackets and a wirewelder.

Lebeda said, “It is fun andexhilarating, and that’s what I’mgoing to school for.”

According to Chad Johnson,welding is easy. He explained, “Mydad made me weld because it runsin the family and I got the hang ofit.”

Building Trades students are

working on scale-model house kits.These kits are equipped withwood, nails, wood glue, a wood cut-ter, a nail pusher and blue printsof the different houses.

Small Engines class is takingapart and rebuilding lawn mowerengines. Teacher Jody Gittings hashigh hopes for his shop class andsaid, “I want to continually add tothe welding equipment, and as weget further into cabinetry andbuilding trades, I would like toalso update some of the smallertools and items.”

Overall, the students arepleased with the developing shoproom and are looking forward tothe rest of the year.

New school year, new beginnings,new students, one from far away

by Nicki Kell and Ryan Kirscher

Stephanie Timmerman, a jun-ior, is from a small town in northGermany called Kuehrsdorf. Tim-merman stays in the studentapartments at the Solomon Farm,owned by Anne Daum-Kustar andher husband Sandor, where sheworks with the horses.

Germany has thirteen levels ofeducation and students don’t get tochoose their elective classes, buthere Timmerman said, “You canchoose what you want.” Timmer-man had 120 kids in her class, butshe likes the small class she hashere because the teachers actuallyhelp you.

Learning the English languagehas been an ongoing process forTimmerman since she has beenstudying it since the fourth grade.

Back home, she was involved inrowing, where she would have tolift weights in the winter, ride sta-tionary bicycle for an hour and runfor half an hour each day to helpbuild up her strength. Timmer-man also took part in ballroomdancing, with her favorite dancesbeing the Disco Fox and the PasoDoble.

Performing dressage and jump-ing were two events that she didfor English style horseback riding.You can look around and see some

of the students here wearing fash-ionable cowboy boots, but accord-ing to Stephanie if you wear themin Germany, “you are crazy.” Nowthat she is in America, she enjoyswearing her cowboy boots proudly.

Along with Stephanie Timmer-man, two other new students, TroiValburg and Jacob Arendt, joinedthe Jones County roster.

Valburg who came from WoodElementary School in Wood, SouthDakota, said that Jones County isa lot bigger than her old school.With only two kids in her class ather old school, she likes attendingschool with more kids and saysthat she is making a lot of newfriends. It is different being thenew kid because it is the first timeshe has ever been the new kid.Currently she is not in any sportsor other school activities. The neweighth grader likes that she does-n’t have to pack a school lunch anymore.

Arendt, currently a freshman,came from Yankton Middle Schoolin Yankton. He said Yankton had abigger school with around 20 to 25kids in each class. For Jacob, goingto school in Jones County andgoing to school in Yankton areabout the same. He is currently infootball for an extra-curricularactivity.

After a fun filled, goal oriented high school career, Walker plans a future in engineeringBy Paige Venard

Wyatt Samuel Walker, son ofKrysti and Todd Barnes, has oldersiblings Patrick and KarleeBarnes and Felicia Barnes andyounger brother Chase Barnes. Hehas participated in football, bas-ketball, track, golf, NHS, studentcouncil, choir, band and TurnerYouth Foundation throughout hishigh school career.

Walker’s favorites include: thecolor blue, Lasagna, Christmasbecause it’s close to his birthday,watching the movie Ted, ESPN,and Sports Center. In school heenjoys history, reading the Diver-gent and Insurgent series and theHunger Games. If you run into

Walker you will find that he lovesto wear Nike, Buckle, Cinch andZOX clothing. In his free time heenjoys playing video games, but heusually is outdoors doing anythingand everything.

If Walker could meet anyfamous person it would be a politeand nice person.

“I would enjoy meeting manyfamous people, but if I had to pickone, it would be the nicest pro ath-lete, singer or actor out therebecause I wouldn’t want to dealwith a snobby famous person.”

Walker admires people whohave worked hard their wholelives and achieved their life goals.

Consider whether money,

power, or fame were more impor-tant to him, he answered with,“None of these things are veryimportant to me, but power is theleast important because the othertwo will give me power, eventhough nobody needs it.”

He is angered by people givingup on something that is importantto them. His biggest fear would befailing. Walker said he doesn’thave many regrets because everymistake he has made has taughthim something. He also haslearned the most from his mis-takes and trying to fix them. Walk-er values family and education themost in his life.

If he could be anything he

dreamed of, he would be a profes-sional baseball player, and ifgranted three wishes, he wouldwish for money to pay for college, areally enjoyable well-paying joband a long, healthy life for his fam-ily and himself.

Walker advises younger classesto “keep working hard until theday you graduate, and enjoy highschool while you are still in it.”

He considers getting goodgrades and doing well in school ashis biggest accomplishment. Hisgoal before graduation is to finishthis year with a 4.0 GPA and thento succeed in everything he does.

After Walker graduates he isgoing to miss having his mom

around and many of his friendsand high school teachers. “Myfreshman year was really crazyand fun; much of my freshmanyear created my best memories ofschool.”

He now enjoys his senior privi-leges by getting to go to lunch first.In ten years he imagines himselfhaving a job he loves going toeveryday that uses his collegedegree. He is unsure of where hewants to settle down in the future.

After Walker graduates heplans to attend either SDSU or SDSchool of Mines to pursue a careerin Mechanical, Electrical or Geo-logical Engineering.

Common items teachNewton’s law of motion

By Ryan KirscherSome hands on learning took

place when Katie Venard’s fresh-man science class was studyingNewton’s third law of motionwhich states that when a firstbody exerts a force F1 on a secondbody, the second body simultane-ously exerts a force F2 = -F1 on thefirst body. This means that F1 andF2 are equal in magnitude andopposite in direction.

To study this law, the class cre-ated rocket cars. They used paperplates, tape, balloons, straws andlots of hot air. First, they cut somecircles out of the paper plates to beused as wheels. Second, they cut a

rectangle out of the plates to beused as the base. They then tapeda straw to the base and pointedone end of the straw upwards.Next they blew into one end of thestraw and filled the balloon withair. Holding the end of the straw,they put the rocket on the floorand let go of the end of the straw.The rocket would accelerate for-ward until the balloon ran out ofair. The same thing would then berepeated.

Tristan Grablander said, “Ithelped me understand friction andhow lots of hot air and balloonscan make things go really far.Julie Joseph said, “It took a lot ofhot air to get these things going.”

Down the ramp… Freshmen test their balloon cars for accel-eration in the school lobby.

Summer flying fun stirs interest in aviationby Becky Bryan

On July 15, Cody Hight attend-ed a four-day ACE Camp, (Aero-space Career and EducationCamp). Sponsored by NASA andhosted at South Dakota State Uni-versity (SDSU), Ace Camp provid-ed twelve high school students theopportunity to get an early starton flying and aerospace careers.

The camp took the students ona tour of the Sioux Falls AirportTraffic Control Tower to see thereal action of controlling the skiesas well as a visit to the Sioux Fallsweather station and the SanfordEmergency Air hanger.

An air show at the airport inTea was special, but according toCody, the best party was “the tourof the Brookings Airport followedby flying a Cessna 172.

Like any teenage boy, Cody’sfavorite part of camp was receiv-ing two hours of flight trainingand getting behind the controls ofthe air craft. Because of ACECamp, he is considering becominga private pilot for recreational rea-sons.

If only… Cody Hight and fellow young aviators get the feel offlying without being in the air at SDSU's ACE camp.

GFP commission proposes changes to fishing regulations for 2013The South Dakota Game Fish

and Parks Commission has pro-posed several changes to fishingregulations for 2013.

One of the prominent changesproposed was to increase LakeOahe walleye limits in response toa high abundance of 10- to 15-inchfish and low food resources sincethe flood of 2011.

The commission proposal would

double the daily limit, allowingeight walleyes to be kept daily;only four walleyes could be 15inches or longer. The proposalwould also eliminate the current"one-over-20-inch" regulation forLake Oahe. The possession limitfor Lake Oahe would be raised to24 if the rule changes are finalizedas proposed.

The Commission also proposed

opening the following waters tospring fishing:

•All creeks in Codington Coun-ty, except those associated withPunished Woman and RoundLakes

•The outlet stream from LakePoinsett

•All creeks in Grant County•The Bois De Sioux River below

White Rock Dam in Roberts Coun-

ty and below Reservation Damgates on Lake Traverse.

Proposed changes to game-fishspearing regulations includeallowing northern pike to bespeared on all inland watersstatewide, with the exception ofwaters managed for muskies. Thegame-fish spearing season wouldbe lengthened by moving the enddate from the last day in February

to March 15. The season openerwould remain the same at June15. Areas downstream of MissouriRiver dams previously closed togame-fish spearing would now beopen to spearing of channel catfishand northern pike.

Proposed changes in hoopnet/setline rules include openingthe season year-round on all SouthDakota inland waters where hoop

net and setline use is permittedand opening all inland waters ofthe Missouri River system to hoopnet and setline use. The areaswhere setlines are legal to usewould also be expanded to includethe entire length of the westerntributaries of the Missouri River inSouth Dakota, and Angostura,Belle Fourche and Shadehill reser-voirs.

A proposal also was made toclose rivers, streams and creeks incounties of the James River Water-shed and portions of the Vermil-lion and Big Sioux River water-sheds to the taking of bait by usingtraps, nets and seines. The meas-ure will be considered in responseto concerns about possible move-ment of young Asian carp to newwaters.

To view the full GPF Commis-sion proposals, visit:http://gfp.sd.gov/agency/commis-sion/proposals.aspx.

Written comments on the pro-posals may be sent to: GFP Com-mission, 523 East Capital Avenue,Pierre, SD 57501, or email to wild-info@state.sd.us by 5 p.m. onWednesday, October 31. Pleaseinclude your complete name andphysical address, in order to bepart of the public record.

The commission will take publiccomments at its Thursday, Novem-ber 1, meeting at Camp Lakodianear Madison. The public forumportion of the meeting will beginthat day at 2 p.m.

often a lot cheaper when on sale.A good brand currently goes forover $13 a can at standard priceswhereas it can drop to close to $7or $8 on sale. Luckily, we aren’ttied into just one brand since sev-eral are okay. We can take advan-tage of most of the price cuts.

All of this brings to mind theconcept of actual worth. If theregular prices and sale prices arevastly different, this might possi-bly indicate that the product isgenerally overpriced. Conversely,if there isn’t much difference,maybe you’re actually getting aproduct that is worth what you’repaying for it.

Unfortunately for my mid-sec-tion, ice cream is frequentlyoffered at reduced prices. One ofmy favorite brands tends to go onsale about once a month andseverely tests my somewhat-fee-ble sales resistance. They have achocolate-almond that is to die for.Also excellent is their “moose-tracks” involving vanilla icecream with lots of chocolate stripsand peanut butter cups. Eventheir vanilla bean is quite tastywith fresh peaches or maybe abanana and a touch of chocolatesyrup. When these luscious dairydelights are on sale, they offer aform of low-cost weight gainalthough they aren’t unhealthfulin other ways.

Some sales techniques are a bitconfusing. It is popular nowadaysto offer ten packages of somethingfor $10. Do you really need tenboxes of Hamburger Helper?This is more of a gimmick thananything since you can usuallybuy one or two items instead often and still get the sale price.

“On Sale” is a relative term.Sometimes it represents consider-able savings and sometimes not somuch. Take cottage cheese andsour cream for instance. Locallythey are usually priced at about$4.09 whereas the sale price oftenis maybe only $3.89. Okay, that’stwenty cents off, but only an actu-al five-percent reduction. Notexactly a hot deal. Still, twentycents is twenty cents so you mightas well take advantage of theslight bargain if you actually needthe stuff. If your refrigerator isalready too full, you can safelydelay the purchase for later with-out suffering major financial con-sequences.

On the other hand, products likepaper towels and toilet paper arebest to buy and stock up on whenthey’re sale priced. Paper towelscan be over $13 for a large multi-ple-roll package whereas on salethey may range from $5 or $8. Inother words, they may be half off.Since we go through a ton of papertowels around here, I always buya goodly supply when they’recheap.

One brand of paper towels was-n’t a good buy, however, accordingto wife Corinne. They were an off-brand variety at a good price thatI dragged home a month or so ago.Corinne said they were about asabsorbent as tinfoil and not to buyany more of them despite theirhaving a pretty design. We haveallocated them to uses that don’trequire a lot of absorbency andput a better brand on the kitchencupboard. I think we have thebad ones almost used up now, butit’s taken a concerted effort.

Coffee is another product that is

Lookin’ Around• Syd Iwan •

Another trend is for stores to say,“Buy one. Get one free.” This maybe okay, but I noticed that dealbeing offered on a cut-up chickenthis week. The only problem wasthat the one you pay for is around$9 which is about twice what achicken is worth in the first place.

Generally speaking, if a storecuts something up, it costs more.Similarly, if they cook it or make itinstant, it is higher priced. Whenit comes to bacon, though, I oftenbuy the pre-cooked stuff since wedon’t eat a lot of it. What’s more, itis so simple to microwave fourstrips for fifteen seconds ratherthan spend twenty minutes fryingit and dealing with all that grease.My nephew would find this a sillyidea, however, since many of hisfavorite dishes include bacongrease for frying or simply as anaddition. He fishes and huntsalmost constantly, and I suspectthat venison and other wild gamemight indeed be improved withlashings of bacon grease.

So, as usual, one needs to keeptheir wits about them when buy-ing anything whether it’s on saleor not. I have noticed that sourcream is this week actually beingoffered at $2.49 which is a gooddeal on that product. I shouldprobably stock up. I make a formof kolache with that whichinvolves flattening a bit of breaddough, poking a dent in the mid-dle, and baking it six minutes.Then you add the sour creammixed with some sugar and cinna-mon in the dent and on top andbake it some more. This is justfirst-rate, and I actually crave itfrom time to time. Got to go now.The sale ends today. Don’t want tomiss it.

1st Anniversary of the SDSUExtension Re-organization

We’re closing in on a year sincethe re-organization of the SDSUExtension Service, in which theCounty Extension Educator Posi-tions were eliminated. 4-H Advi-sors took over the youth programat the county level, and eightRegional Extension Centersbecame the home base for Exten-sion Field Specialists covering awide variety of topic areas.

This transition has yielded bothprogress and pains. We encourageyou to continue to rely on SDSUExtension for unbiased, research-based information. If we can help,contact the Winner RegionalExtension Center at 605-842-1267.

Testing for Soybean CystNematode

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) isthe most damaging pest of soybeanin North America. While not yetfound in all soybean-producingareas, soybean cyst nematodes arehardy and will survive anywheresoybeans are produced in SouthDakota as well as North Dakotaand northern Minnesota. SCNoften reduces average yields by asmuch as fifty percent or more.

Soybean Cyst Nematodes havebeen found in at least 20 counties

in eastern South Dakota andthroughout Minnesota and Iowaas well as many other states. TheSoybean Cyst Nematode is asmall, plant-parasite round wormthat feeds in the roots of soybeans.Most nematodes are too small tobe seen with the naked eye.

The first and most importantstep in management of SCN isidentification. Soil sampling is ameans of determining both thepresence of the nematode as wellas its population levels. Fall sam-pling allows adequate time toemploy SCN management tech-niques for the following season,but sampling at any time can beuseful.

The SDSU Plant DiagnosticClinic offers SCN testing free ofcharge for South Dakota growers,funded by the South Dakota Soy-bean Research and PromotionCouncil. Soil Sample InformationSheets and sample bags can bepicked up at the SDSU Plant Diag-nostic Clinic. Copies may be madeof the information sheet, whichcan be downloaded from:http://www.sdstate.edu/ps/plant-clinic/upload/SCN-Soil-Sampling-Info-Sheet.pdf.

Good candidates for testing aresoybean fields that have haddeclining yields, stunted plants,plants that are slow to canopy,become yellow in July or August,and show reduced vigor or matureearlier than normal.

Sample fields at a depth of 0 to6 inches with a soil probe, spade orvehicle mounted probe. Key areasin fields to sample are fence rowswhere blowing soil may collect,areas with a history of flooding,field entry points, and low yieldingareas. Sampling can continueuntil freeze up with hand equip-ment, and all winter withhydraulic probes. Collect 15-20samples per site, mix thoroughlyand submit as soon as possible,but do not use heat to dry or grind.

Coyote Call continued...

By Gus VolmerPlaying the Kadoka Kougars on

Friday, September 21, the Coyotes,following a homecoming lost to theWhite River Tigers, tried to getback on the right track against theKougars.

In the first quarter the Kougarsscored first with a long run, butthe Coyotes then marched the balldown field and scored on a 40 yardrun, but the run was called backfrom a holding penalty. Unable tomove the ball after the penalty,they punted their possession away.The Coyotes couldn’t stop theKougars from passing the balldown field and the first half endedwith the Coyotes trailing 18-0.That score remained for the sec-ond half.

In the second half the Coyotescame out strong and moved theball down the field but couldn’tmanage to finish off the drive witha score and turned the ball over ondowns. The defense got stronger inthe second half and stopped theKougars, but the Coyotes stillcouldn’t score.

Stats: Rushing: Philip Mathews9 carries 36 yards, Wyatt Hespe 6carries 26 yards, Skyler Miller 8carries 36 yards. Kyle Manke 10

tackles.Next game against the Lyman

Raiders on September 28, the Coy-otes started slow but limited theRaiders to one score and then alsoscored once; neither team complet-ed the two-point conversions. Therest of the half was a defensivegame from both sides.

Second half started slow andthe Coyotes scored only one moretouchdown but missed the two-point conversion. The Raidersscored on a broken play and gotthe two-point conversion. The Coy-otes trailed 14-12.

From that point on the Coyotedefense made a stone wall and did-n’t let the Raiders score again. TheCoyotes scored two more timesand got both two-point conversionsleading to a 28-14 win.

Stats: Rushing: Mathews 11carries 116 yards, Hespe 8 carries55 yards, Miller 19 carries 100yards. Passing: Volmer 5-7 33yards. Manke 8.5 tackles.

Next the Wall Eagles played onOctober 5. After the Coyotes wonthe toss and elected to receive,Mathews caught the kick off andreturned it to the Coyote’s fiveyard line. They scored, but didn’t

get the two-point conversion. Defense stayed tough and

stopped the Eagles, and addedanother score along with the two-point conversion. The second quar-ter was a tough quarter for thehome team’s offense; they didn’tscore except on a safety caused bythe Coyote defense. Eagles thentook the lead with a couple of bigruns and a field goal. The Coyotestrailed 17-16.

Both teams scored only once inthat third quarter, but the defensefrom both sides was tough. Thefourth quarter started with theCoyotes trailing the Eagles 23-22.The Coyotes defended their hometurf, and the offense ignited againand scored two more times on theEagles’ defense. The Coyotesweren’t quite fast enough for theEagles’ speedy running backs andcouldn’t stop the Eagles to a shutout fourth quarter. The Coyoteslost a hard fought game 38-36.

Stats: Rushing: Mathews 9 car-ries 61 yards 1TD, Hespe 13 car-ries 78 yards 1TD, Miller 20 car-ries 64 yards 1TD. Passing:Volmer 8-13 198 yards. Top receiv-er: Mathews 6 receptions 144yards. Manke 8.5 tackles.WANTED:

Referred Law 16 (HB 1234) factsheetRepresentative Jacqueline Sly

and Representative Dan Drydenfrom Rapid City worked on a sub-committee during the 2012 Leg-islative session after HB1234 wasintroduced by Governor Dau-gaard’s office. Amendments wereintroduced throughout the processtaking into account suggestionsmade by a variety of stakeholdersin education. The following is asummary of RL16.

As voters begin making deci-sions regarding Ballot Questions,it is essential that one makesinformed decisions based on factsrather than perceptions or misin-formation. Referred Law 16, alsoknown as HB1234, has manyparts. Regardless of one’s politicalpreference, each voter has aresponsibility to be informed whentaking the time to vote.

Referred Law 16 Facts:Fact 1 - The “Critical Needs

Scholarship Program” will create100 scholarships a year for stu-dents majoring in education fortheir junior and senior years whoagree to teach in a critical needsteaching field. Critical needs willbe determined based upon a sur-vey of local school districts. Thescholarships will equate to fulltuition and fees at a state univer-sity, and recipients will berequired to teach in a criticalneeds field for five years in SouthDakota after graduation. The pro-gram begins in the 2013-14 schoolyear.

Fact 2 -The “Math and ScienceTeacher Incentive Program” willreward the state’s best middleschool and high school math andscience teachers – those who areevaluated as “distinguished” or“proficient” on the state evaluationsystem – with an annual bonus of$2,500. This program begins in the2014-15 school year. It is volun-tary. (It is estimated there will be500 math and science teachersretiring in the next 5-10 years. InFY 11 there were a total of 19math education major graduatesfrom SD universities, 12 biologyeducation majors, 1 chemistry, 1earth science, and 0 physics educa-tion majors. However, there were142 elementary education gradu-ates, 37 elementary/special educa-tion graduates, and 40 early child-hood education graduates.)

Fact 3- The “Top TeacherRewards Program” allows localschool districts to create their ownplans to reward teachers basedupon student achievement,teacher leadership, or local criticalneeds. Districts will receiveapproximately $1,000 per teacherto set up their local plans. Eachdistrict can opt out entirely if theychoose. A third option schools canuse is the original proposal to give$5,000 bonuses to the top 20 per-cent of teachers. The programbegins in the 2014-15 school year.

Fact 4- The law removes thestate mandate that requires dis-tricts to grant continuing contract

to teachers. (It is sometimes called“tenure.”) This takes effect on July1, 2016. Teachers who receive con-tinuing contracts prior to that datewill not lose continuing contractstatus. Local districts will still beallowed to extend continuing con-tract if they choose, but it will nolonger be required by the state.

Fact 5- The law creates a newstatewide evaluation system forteachers and principals, as onecomponent of the state’s newschool accountability system. Thestate is replacing No Child LeftBehind with a state-created sys-tem that will create better studentassessments and measure schoolson a variety of factors.

Fact 6 -Several advisory com-mittees are created to allow formore input from educators asthese programs are implementedover the next three school years.

Fact 7- Once fully implemented,these proposals will be funded bythe state at a level of $15 million ayear, on top of regular formulafunding for K-12 education. Themoney will go directly to the indi-vidual teachers, above and beyondtheir salary paid by the school dis-trict.

A vote “Yes” is to enact the edu-cation reform act. A vote “No” isagainst the referred law.

Celebrating homecoming traditions by Senator John Thune

It’s the time of the year whencommunities across South Dakotacommence with their annualhomecoming celebrations. FromSisseton to Spearfish, school fes-tivities bring together current stu-dents, alumni, and community

members to cheer on the home-town team and renew their schoolspirit. Whether it is the parades,the tailgates, or the highly antici-pated Friday night football games,homecoming is one of the biggestevents of the year for many townsin South Dakota.

Growing up in Murdo, it seemedlike the biggest football game ofthe year almost always landed onhomecoming. As a young highschool quarterback, I remembermy nervous jitters walking ontothe field for the homecominggame, waiting for the first snap,and hearing the crowd as theycheered on the Coyotes. From thefootball game to the homecomingdance, these high school homecom-ing memories are time-honoredtraditions in South Dakota.

While at the University ofSouth Dakota working on my mas-ter’s degree, I was able to experi-ence firsthand one of South Dako-ta’s collegiate homecoming tradi-tions. I have great memories ofDakota Days in Vermillion and Istill enjoy the opportunity to catcha little Coyote football.

As I’ve traveled South Dakota, Ihave had the opportunity to par-ticipate in various college home-coming celebrations across thestate. This year I was glad to be inAberdeen for Gypsy Days and lookforward to attending the 100thanniversary of Hobo Days inBrookings. The schools each haveunique traditions that make theircelebrations exciting for alumniand students. At every school, Ienjoy connecting with friends andcommunity members whose prideand school spirit inspire us to con-tinue to support South Dakotaschools and their athletic pro-grams.

Kimberley and I wish all com-munities and universities acrossthe state a fun and safe homecom-ing season.

• Dr. P.E. Hoffsten •UNEXPECTED CAUSES OFLIPID ABNORMALITIES

Following World War II, UnitedStates Government took uponitself the task of evaluating howand why heart attacks occur. With-in 20 years it had been clearlydetermined that there were fourmajor risk factors for developmentof coronary artery disease andthese four factors accounted for 95percent of all of the heart attacksthat occur. These four common fac-tors included high blood pressure,diabetes mellitus, smoking ciga-rettes and abnormalities in theperson’s blood lipid levels.

Over the years, the lipids in theblood were fractionated into fourclasses that are commonly report-ed on a person’s lipid panel today.These four classes included thetotal blood cholesterol which wehave learned is best maintained at200 mg percent or less. The secondcomponent was the LDL or lowdensity lipoprotein. This compo-nent was felt to be highly relatedto heart attacks and we havelearned it is best kept below 70 mgpercent. The third component wascalled the HDL or high densitylipoprotein. We learned that thehigher this value is the better. Formen it is preferably above 40 mgpercent. For women it is naturallyslightly higher. Ironically, themore of this lipid component in theperson’s blood, the more the per-son is protected from heart attacksor strokes. There are families whocarry a gene to get the HDL at90mg percent or more and theirfamilies are associated withlongevity. Lastly, there is a compo-nent called triglycerides. Thereare lots of arguments aboutwhether the triglycerides play arole in heart attacks and strokesor not. Suffice it to say, the lowerthe triglyceride level below 150 mgpercent, the better.

With the above discoveries thata high LDL was pivotally relatedto the incidence of heart attacks,medications were devised to lowerthe LDL. The statin family ofdrugs (lovastatin,simvastatin,pravastatin, atorvastatin, Crestor)has been a spectacular success inthis regard. And yet, these drugsdo not work for everyone. Manyindividuals have intolerance forthe statin drugs. Thus, the search

for other treatments goes on.There has been a fibrate family

of drugs exemplified by gemfi-brozil and the niacin family ofdrugs. These both seem to helpvery few additional individualswhen statins are not effective.There are “bile resin” productsthat bind cholesterol in the stooland result in its elimination thatway. These are relatively infre-quently successful treatments.There is, of course, the Cheeriotreatment, which as far as I amconcerned, is a total fraud. Pleasedon’t be so naïve to think that eat-ing Cheerios is going to cure yourlipid problem. Through all of theseother treatments, there are stillmany individuals whose lipidproblems are not solved by ourmodern medications.

Michigan State University Hos-pital took upon itself a specialtyclinic to evaluate individualswhose lipids were not solved byour standard methods. Their pur-pose was to evaluate referredcases to see if there were causesother than our standard belief thatlipid abnormalities are primarilyhereditary. They found that one-third of the cases that they evalu-ated did indeed have secondarycauses of the lipid abnormality. Bya secondary cause, it is meant acondition or practice that whencorrected distinctly improves thelipid abnormality.

The most common of these wasuncontrolled diabetes mellitus.The second most common causewas alcoholism. They remarkedthat the alcohol problem was notrecognized prior to the referral tothe specialty clinic. There wereseveral other less frequent causesidentified. Among them were: theuse of estrogen replacement thera-py for women, the use of antipsy-chotic medications for those withmental illness, and the use ofimmunosuppressive agents forthose with inflammatory diseasessuch as rheumatoid arthritis.Finally, there was a large group ofindividuals who had primary kid-ney disease as the basic problemand this needed to be addressed inof itself.

The point of this column is tohelp those who have a degree offrustration because their lipids aresimply not effectively treated withour standard medications. Some-

times it might be worthwhile tolook for secondary causes of dys-lipidemia rather than to labor withour preconceived notion that dys-lipidemia is primarily a hereditarycondition.

Elementary celebrates fire prevention week

Water!… The elementary students took delight in the streamof water that the fire department left behind after showing thestudents how far the fire truck’s hose could spray. Jones Coun-ty hasn’t seen any significant rain for a few months so the kidswere excited to be able to dip their hands in the water beforegoing back inside.
