Thune statement,Sen. McGovern

Senator John Thune issued thefollowing statement after the pass-ing of former Senator GeorgeMcGovern:

“Senator George McGovernlived a life of exemplary service.George’s legacy of service will liveon at the leadership program cre-ated in his name by his belovedDakota Wesleyan University andin the hearts of all of those whotook courage and inspiration fromhis public life and quiet, but pow-erful voice in the counsels of gov-ernment. Throughout his post-political life, George dedicatedhimself to the service of his fellowman in the crusade against hungeraround the world. Today SouthDakota mourns the loss of a warhero and a great statesman, andour history will forever reflect theimpact of George McGovern.Despite our political differences, Iwas always proud to call SenatorMcGovern my friend and he willbe deeply missed by those he metand those who were fortunateenough to experience his goodwillthrough the world. Kimberley andmy prayers are with his familyand friends during this difficulttime.”

Venard, Inc. now open for businessby Karlee Barnes

Venard, Inc., located on thewest end of Fifth Street, is openand ready for business in theirnew building.

Venard, Inc. was a result of thesale of the HHH Truckstop thathad been a cornerstone in the com-munity since December 1, 1971when Barb and the late LyleVenard started the business.

The HHH Truckstop was soldon March 15, 2012, and the Venardfamily wasted no time startinganother family operated, commu-nity oriented business.

Construction began in May

2012 and the business took uptemporary shop in the old carwash building just east of the newbuilding. They officially startedbusiness in the new building onMonday, October 15.

The new building boasts moreroom as well as three stalls, a newfinger lift hoist, a wash bay, plentyof storage and a new office with alounge for socializing and waiting.In addition to the main shop, abreezeway also connects a storageshop with plenty of room for tiresand the service truck as well asother miscellaneous items.

David Venard said that the

services Venard, Inc. will offer arefor the most part the same as theservices they offered in the shop atthe HHH Truckstop. The mainfocus will be on tires and vehicleservice. They are also offeringExhaust Master muffler servicesand will continue to change oil andwash vehicles. Venard, Inc. willalso continue to operate the serv-ice truck that often makes trips tothe interstate or highways to helpstranded motorists get vehiclesback on the road.

Venard said many features inthe building are still temporaryuntil they find a home for every-thing. It will take time and a lot ofmoving equipment around andreorganizing to figure out whatworks best for the day to day oper-ations of the business.

With the new name and the new

building, Venard said they alsohave new hours. In an effort tospend more time with their fami-lies and have more freedom toenjoy themselves, the family busi-ness will be open Monday throughFriday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Current employees include:Barb Venard and Lenae Tucker,who take care of the office work;David Venard, Bruce Venard,Chris Venard who will continuetheir vehicle expertise in the shop;and Kyle Venard, who is a recentgraduate of Mitchell TechnicalInstitute.

Funeral services were held lastTuesday for Harvey Christian atthe Draper auditorium with agreat turnout of family andfriends to pay their last respects.The Lord provided a beautifulday; I'm thinking he decided thatHarvey and his family had beenthrough enough, thus the niceday. In the absence of our PastorHazen, Pastor Linda Baldock ofWhite River did a very good jobwith the prayer service and funer-al. Linda Brost provided themusic and Brett Anderson wasvocalist. Following the service, wewent to the Draper Cemetery

where the Legion held militaryrites. Nelva Louder presented LilaMae with the United States flagin honor of Harvey's service to ourcountry, a series of three rifleshots were fired, followed withbugler Kalli Hespe playing taps.The family sent their love withthe release of many, many bal-loons which was a beautiful andmoving sight.

It’s All In the Bibleby Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

We couldn’t help hearing it! This woman had a voice that could be heard at considerable distance and we distinctly heard her say: “I doped it all outfrom the Bible.”

“Well, at least somebody’s interested in the Bible,” we said to each other.

But as she prattled on it turned out that she had used the records in an old family Bible to establish her claim to part of an estate. These records, intro-duced in court, had won the case for her.

There was, after all, no indication that she was interested in the Bible — only in those pages between the Old and New Testaments which, in someeditions of the Bible, are kept for family records.

Actually she was no different from the masses about us who go about from day to day interested only in the things of this life and ignoring almostcompletely the things that really matter: God, heaven, hell and their own eternal destiny.

If these people only knew what treasures are to be found in the Bible! Among these are “riches of mercy” (Eph. 2:4), “riches of grace” (Eph. 1:7),“riches of glory” (Phil. 4:19), “riches of wisdom and knowledge” (Rom. 11:33), “the riches of the full assurance of understanding” (Col. 2:2), “theunsearchable riches of Christ” (Eph. 3:8). And the best part of it is that anyone may have these riches simply for the asking:

“For there is no difference… for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him,

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:12,13).

Gleanings from the Prairie

What’s happening in ourworld? As others have noted, itseems to be falling apart.Men/women, boys/girls arekilling themselves at an alarm-ingly fast pace. If it isn’t thedeath associated with war, itcomes from other scenes. Mur-ders in theaters, malls, grocerystores, convenience stores, at ballgames, in hospitals, at schools(Jr. Hi, Sr. Hi, College), and evenin homes. Mankind just can’tseem to “get along” anymore.

An anonymous author haswritten: “The very helplessnessof the world today is in itself arepudiation of that self-sufficientand self-confident view of lifethat the world in its progressivedevelopment has outgrown theneed of Christ. It is followingChrist that gives the world whatit most needs --- a standard ofright living, a cause to maintainand defend, a Leader to follow,and a law to obey.”

Yes, that pretty well sums itup. Man has turned against the“One Man” Who came into theworld to give answers to thequestions of life, solutions to theproblems of life, and leadershipto the waywardness of life, and alaw to govern life. Rejection ofthe only “cure” will mean that theanswers, solutions, leadershipand law will never be forthcom-ing.

It would truly be nice to live ina “perfect” world! Our parentsenjoyed the opportunity, but they

squandered the blessings andtheir children have been fightingever since. James wrote to theearly believers, “From wherecome wars and fightings amongyou? Come they not here, even ofyour lusts that war in your mem-bers? You lust, and have not; youkill, and desire to have, and can-not obtain; you fight and war, yetyou have not, because you asknot” (James 4:1-2). JESUS said,“Come unto ME.” Yet, when weturn from HIM instead of turningto HIM, our only path is that onwhich our world is traveling ---destruction and death.

Someone else has well said,“Christ is the only transformingpower there is and we strive invain without Him whether weare building a life or a country.”

As we approach this electionhere in America, we mustremember that neither candidateor Party has the answers, solu-tions, leadership or law that weas Americans, or the world, need.At best they will only postponethe inevitable.

Oh that the “Prince of Peace”would return! The LORD andSavior of mankind, JESUS ofNazareth, of Whom, the ApostlePeter said so many years ago:“neither is there salvation in anyother; for there is no other Nameunder heaven given among men,whereby we must be saved” (Acts4:12). Turn to the One Who isthe solution.

Habitat conditions key to South Dakota pheasant huntMany hunters will flock to

South Dakota fields on Saturdayfor the traditional opening of theannual pheasant hunting seasonwith optimism.

Reasons for this optimism arefirst, the mid-summer pheasantcount estimated the statewidepheasant population to be up 18percent from last year and second,South Dakota offers a wealth of

public hunting opportunities.There are more than 1.2 millionacres of Walk-In Areas; 294,000acres of state-owned Game Pro-duction Areas; and 150,000 acresof federal Waterfowl ProductionAreas available to hunters in thestate.

In addition, the Game, Fish andParks Department has expandedits cooperative efforts with private

landowners and the US Depart-ment of Agriculture to providewildlife habitat and public hunt-ing opportunities on nearly 70,000acres in the James River valleythat are enrolled in the Conserva-tion Reserve Enhancement Pro-gram.

“The number of birds in differ-ent areas of the state is closelylinked to the quantity and quality

of habitat found in a local area”said Tom Kirschenmann, GFPchief of wildlife and habitat pro-grams.

“The effects of this year’sdrought has impacted both crop-land and grassland habitat” hesaid. “In much of the state, grassyvegetation that pheasants relyupon is less abundant and lessdense than last year.”

Drought also had a directimpact on farmers and rancherswho rely on the land to make a liv-ing. To help mitigate a shortage oflivestock forage, producers wereallowed to cut hay and graze live-stock on many acres in the Conser-vation Reserve Program.

“Many of the Walk-in Areas thatGFP leases from private landown-ers for public hunting access arepart of working farms and ranch-es,” Kirschenmann said. “Some ofthe CRP acres that are part ofWalk-in Areas were cut for hay orgrazed. While haying and grazingallowances provided vital assis-tance to stressed agricultural pro-ducers, it will mean less availablecover for hunting on some areas.”

On the flip side, there is a bene-fit from the dry conditions thatpersist across most of the state:With crop harvesting nearing 90percent complete, there are fewerplaces for wily roosters to hide.

“When habitat is diminished,pheasants congregate in placeswith cover where they feel secure,”

Kirschenmann said,“Unhar-vested crops and the remainingidle areas of standing cover arelikely to provide some very goodhunting opportunities.”

Hunters will find informationon public hunting opportunities inSouth Dakota on the GFP websiteat http://www.gfp.sd.gov/hunting/areas/default.aspx.

Hunters warned of fire danger

South Dakota hunters shouldbe mindful that fire danger per-sists across the state, and safetymeasures need to be taken to helpprevent wildfires this openingweekend of the pheasant season.

“We have had a particularly dryyear in our state, and hunters willfind high fire danger conditionsjust about anywhere they go,” saidEmmett Keyser, assistant directorfor the Game, Fish and ParksWildlife Division.

Keyser said there are severalsteps hunters should take to helpprevent wild fires.

“Park your vehicle in a safe spotthat is clear of any vegetation andthen walk,” Keyser said. “Covercan be tall and tinder-dry, capableof igniting from the heat of theundercarriage of a vehicle. Parkyour vehicle in a safe spot, andexercise extreme caution whereveryou might drive.”

Besides normal hunting equip-ment, hunters should includesome basic fire prevention equip-ment: an extra container of water,fire extinguisher, and fire suppres-sion equipment, such as a shovelor flappers.

Hunters should also reportfires.

“Some of our best fire detectioncomes from all our hunters in thefield,” Keyser said. “With all thoseeyes on the horizon, it is very like-ly a potential fire can be detectedand dealt with before it canprogress. Hunters should havetheir cell phones handy and imme-diately contact local emergencyservices or 9-1-1 to report a fire.”

Keyser noted that South Dakotahas a very good record of fire safe-ty during hunting seasons.

“The key to fire safety is aware-ness,” he said. “Hunters need touse common sense and be aware ofthe potential for wildfires no mat-ter what the conditions. A respon-sible person’s actions can make ahuge difference in protecting bothproperty and wildlife resources.”

Public Notices Murdo Coyote • October 25, 2012 •

His pickup consumed lots moregas than usual in trying to fightits way through, and occasionallythe road was badly obscured dueto blowing dirt. He was not exact-ly a happy camper.

Naturally, anything light thatwasn’t tied down became air-borne. That might include dogdishes, lawn furniture, shingles,and any loose paper or plastic.The paper and plastic did fancydances in the air with swirling,bobbing, and so on. Birds, for themost part, were content to stay onthe ground. The few I saw flyingwere headed south at great speedand were being taken to placesthey probably didn’t really plan togo. Even the electricity wasuneven or out due to poles blowingover or wires coming loose.

I chuckled quite a bit at a noticea friend posted on Facebook. Shewas alerting her east-river friendsthat a feed sack with a scoop in itand her cap and jacket were head-ed their way. She would like themback if possible. Then she said tonever mind. She was good. Stuffwas blowing in from Wyoming andMontana, and she would justcatch that and use it instead.

For most of us, though, we justhunkered down and waited for itto get over as we usually do whenthe weather is vile. We did haveto tightly hold on to the screendoor when going through it toavoid having the wind catch it,break it, tear it off, or damage thehinges. Car doors were similar.

The hardest part to deal with, Ithink, was the nervous response itpromotes in most of us. All the

If you like wind, you shouldhave been happy as a clam thislast week since we had an excessof highly mobile air for two wholedays. If you tried to walk into it,you had to bend forward andstruggle along. If you went withit, you had to lean back so as notto be hurried along faster thanyou wanted to go. The weather-men said something about thecause being a huge cold front thatwas in a big hurry to head south.Yes, well, whatever the cause, wenearly got blown away.

On one of those wild days, wewere scheduled to drive west closeto a hundred miles so son Chancecould consult a couple of doctors.We were planning to take wifeCorinne’s car, but that vehicledoesn’t do well in strong wind. Itsomehow feels insecure as if youare about to become airborne.This is fine with an airplane butnot so good with a car. In anyevent, we called and cancelled ourappointments and rescheduledthem for what we hope are quieterdays.

Other people, however, did notcancel their travel plans althoughthey should have. One picture onthe internet showed four trucksoverturned in the ditch within aspace of less than a mile. Theremust have been some kind ofwind-tunnel effect about there totip so many high-profile vehicles.I would bet that driving a hugebroad-sided motor home wouldhave made for a scary journeyindeed.

Neither was our mailman excit-ed about travel on those days.

Lookin’ Around• Syd Iwan •

whistling, clanking, and bangingjust make a person unsettledsomehow. It’s hard to concentrateon anything.

Another worry is prairie fires.We have lived through two veryscary wind-blown fires that hadour nerves extremely on edge.One was many years ago and wasstarted by lightning on our eastborder. It went close to twentymiles farther east before beingcontrolled. Another started oversouth and blew along our westernborder for many miles. It didn’tjump across the river to our riverplace, but it was a near thing.Luckily, neither fire did a lot ofdamage to us—mostly just a cor-ner of a pasture or a thin strip--butthe emotional toll was consider-able. We don’t want any repeti-tions.

After the winds had subsidedsomewhat, I mentioned to wifeCorinne that it obviously was awimpy cold front after all since itdidn’t really drop the actual tem-peratures all that much. It didn’teven freeze overnight. Corinnetold me to hush up or it might hearme and start up all over again.That seemed a bit unlikely, but Itook her advice and kept my peace.Lord knows we don’t need anotherwind like that anytime soon.

Fortunately, today was a beauti-ful fall day with pleasant tempsand hardly any wind at all. Moth-er Nature was obviously trying toatone for what she’d just put usthrough. For those of you who likea lot of wind, you were flat out ofluck. The rest of us, though, werehappy as clams.

Over-width hay haulingextended 60 days in S.D.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard hasextended an Executive Order tohaul over-width baled livestockfeed until December 21, 2012, inSouth Dakota.

The Executive Order statesthat, upon receipt of a permit, per-mission is granted to move over-width baled livestock feed notexceeding 12-feet-wide or 15-feet-high for two hours after sunsetand two hours before sunrise. Theorder allows movement of over-

width baled livestock feed untilcessation of the drought emer-gency, or no later than December21.

Over-width vehicles must beequipped with flashing or rotatingwhite or amber warning lights oneach side of the load’s widestextremity. The warning lightsmust be clearly visible to motoristsapproaching from the front andrear. Movement under the Execu-tive Order is valid only for baledlivestock feed.

“This year’s persistent droughtconditions have left livestock pro-ducers across South Dakota withinadequate feed supplies,” saidSouth Dakota Secretary of Agricul-ture Walt Bones. “Increasing haul-ing height and width restrictionsfor baled hay will allow producersto move feed in a more efficientmanner.”

The normal size restriction onSouth Dakota highway loads is 14-feet, 3-inches high and 8-feet, 6-inches wide.

Although height and widthrestrictions for baled livestock feedhave been temporarily increasedby Executive Order, several high-ways in the state have width andheight restrictions in placebecause of construction or perma-nent structures that cannotaccommodate such large loads.Truckers are encouraged to checktheir routes ahead of time forthose restrictions.

For information on permits,contact a South Dakota port ofentry or call 800-637-3255.

While in Brookings for SDSUExtension Annual Conference lastweek, a little extra time allowedfor a quick stop at the new McCro-ry Gardens Education and VisitorCenter. Some readers may havehad the opportunity to attend thededication and grand opening ofthe new facility on Thursday, July26, 2012, and/or visited it onanother occasion, and could attestto how impressive it is.

McCrory Gardens was estab-lished in 1966, only 2 years afterSouth Dakota State Collegebecame South Dakota State Uni-versity. The 25 acres of formal dis-play and evaluation gardens,which merge into the 45 acres ofthe South Dakota Arboretum andwoody plant evaluation plots wasnamed after and dedicated toSamuel McCrory, a longtimeSouth Dakota State faculty mem-ber.

McCrory Gardens is highly val-ued as an active, living classroomand laboratory for SDSU, primaryand secondary school children and

students from other colleges anduniversities in the region, and hasfar reaching benefits for the pub-lic. If you are going to be in Brook-ings and have some flexibility inyour schedule, the gardens arewell worth whatever amount oftime you have to visit.

The story and informationabout McCrory Gardens is far tooextensive to cover here, but muchcan be learned by visiting the offi-
