MoneyGram to return

money to eligible consumersAttorney General Marty Jack-

ley announces that a settlementhas been entered with Money-Gram International, Inc. (Money-Gram), which makes certainMoneyGram customers eligible toreceive funds back. MoneyGramhas agreed to the forfeiture of$100 million, which the U.S.Postal Inspection Service has for-feited in order to return the fundsback to eligible consumers. Theagreements arose from Money-Grams involvement in mass mar-keting and consumer fraud caus-ing tens of thousands of individu-als to lose money from advancefee schemes and similar scams.

money back if they fulfill the fol-lowing requirements:

Sent money using Money-Gram between January 1, 2004and August 31, 2009.

Sent money in the UnitedStates or Canada to a payee inthe United States or Canada.

Lost money because of fraud -the customer must have been

defrauded into sending themoney i.e. promising victims theywould receive a large cash prize,purchasing high-ticket items forsale at discounted rates over theinternet and never receiving orsecret shopper scams.

Claim letters were mailed toknown victims in July of 2013. Ifconsumers did not receive a peti-tion letter and you lost money asa result of the MoneyGramschemes between the designatedtime frames from 2004 through2009, and believe you are a vic-tim, you will need to completeand submit a Remission Formthat has to be postmarked nolater than November 15, 2013.

Farmers Union in Murdo was granted an easement to install a line from the gas pumpsto the newly installed storage tanks on the east side of their property.

Pennington County Currant

by Karlee MooreThe Murdo City Council had a lengthy dis-

cussion about the addition of a code enforce-

ment officer to the citys staff.Kelcy Iwan spoke to the board about thenuisance of barking dogs in her neighbor-hood. She said she has called law enforce-ment and spoken to neighbors but the prob-lem persists.

Esmay said a code enforcement officerwould be able to alleviate this problem, aswell as other city code violations, by havingthe authority to ticket and fine residents whoare breaking city codes.

Charlie Buxcel joined the meeting to dis-cuss complaints submitted about his trailercourt on the northwest side of town. Com-plaints included the issue of a private dump-ing area being visible and a trailer not follow-ing the new trailer house ordinance.

Buxcel had been served a letter requestingthat the trailer be brought up to the citys

ordinance qualifications. Jost said that thetrailer is a hazard as it needs to be leveledand skirted. Buxcel told the board that the

trailer was manufactured in 1978. Waddelltold Buxcel to verify the date, because if it isolder than 1978 and since it does not have apeaked roof, it would not be up to federalcode. The board gave Buxcel until the nextcity council meeting to come up with a planfor the trailer.

Other business discussed at meeting:Approved senior class request for whitewashingBuilding permits for the following wereapproved:

Terry Van Dam: replace roof onCatholic church and rectory and fixbasement wallJill Abourezk: Post office repairsBub Baker: tear down two houseson Kennedy Avenue

Agreed to auction hay from North Dam

by Karlee MooreSilver Valley Road was an important topic

in the Tuesday, September 3 Jones CountyCommissioners meeting. Register of DeedsTerri Volmer approached the commissionersabout a new business needing an address onSilver Valley Road. Volmer said this is an issuebecause technically, the business needs a 911address.

Volmer said naming the road Silver ValleyRoad in the first place defeats the purpose ofthe 911 street system and the street should bea numbered street. She also said that techni-cally, Bruce and Karen Royer do not live onSilver Valley Road, although they have a Sil-ver Valley Road address. Volmer told the boardthat she would speak with Royer to make sure

he is okay with changing his address.Other business discussed during meeting:Met with Legislative Audit to discuss dis-

crepanciesJones County hosts Fort Randall Reser-

Memories

Some golden daybreak the trump is going to sound and the dead in Christ shall rise first and we who are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet

the Lord in the air. Then: We must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to

that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men (II Cor. 5:10,11).

When I stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ And He shows me His plan for me;

The plan of my life as it might have been Had He had His way, and I see

How I blocked Him here and checked Him there And I would not yield my will,

Shall I see grief in my Saviors eyes; Grief though He loves me still?

Oh, Hed have me rich, and I stand there poor, Stripped of all but His grace,

While my memory runs like a hunted thing Down the paths I cant retrace.

Then my desolate heart will well-nigh break With tears that I cannot shed.

Ill cover my face with my empty hands And bow my uncrowned head.

No! Lord of the years that are left to me I yield them to Thy hand.

Take me, make me, mold me To the pattern Thou hast planned.

Author Unknown

May God give us the strength to redeem the time wisely. Only one life; twill soon be past. Only whats done for Christ will last.

Two minutes with the bible

ly, after one summer persisted inbeing extremely warm and notcooling down much at night, webroke down and got a big windowair conditioner. That made life a

lot simpler although we stilltended to turn the machine off atnight and open the windows.At least two of our neighbors

had another way of dealing withsummer heat. They mostly livedin their basements. Basements,as you probably know, stay coolerin the summer and warmer inthe winter due to being well insu-lated by the dirt that surroundsthem outside. Both families thatroutinely lived in their base-ments had upper stories thatcould be used but seldom were.They had kitchen appliances andsinks both in the basement andon the next floor up. The secondgeneration tended to moveupstairs and install air condi-tioners, but the older set wascompletely content with living intheir basements and saw no realneed for change.As a kid, I hung out in our base-

ment quite a bit on hot summerdays. We had a bed and chairsdown there although no kitchenequipment. There was also agood supply of books and maga-zines. Sometimes my dog joinedme in enjoying the coolness whenI thought she was panting toomuch and getting too warm out-side. She learned fairly quicklythat it was nicer downstairs thanoutside on hot days and was gladto keep me company.

So, there you have the saga ofair conditioners and capacitors.With fall and winter drawingnigh, we may not have to worryabout either of those things for alittle while, but, if we do, I knowhow to handle it. Ill just callBrian and have him come over.He knows all about air condition-

ers and capacitors, and, betteryet, knows how to deal with themwhen they go bad. Ive added hisnumber to speed dial on my cellphone. Its comforting to havehelp only a phone call away.

Capacitors are useful things tohave around. For lack of a goodone, for instance, your air condi-tioner may hum and try to kickin, but not be able to. As a result,

on a hundred-degree day like Fri-day, (Okay, okay, it only got to 99.Lets not exaggerate.) your housemay be a bit uncomfortable at 85to 88. If you sit very quietlyunder a fan, that isnt too bad. Ifyou exert yourself in any way,though, youre going to sweat andmaybe quite a bit.

It was therefore a relief whenBrian arrived with a new capaci-tor, installed it, and got us goingagain. Wife Corinne and I dontlike it when its too hot inside,but we can sort of deal with it.Son Chance, though, may havemore trouble than we do sinceheat affects his myastheniagravis and can cause it to flareup. All of us, naturally, appreci-ate cooler environs.

Capacitors, in case you arentfamiliar with them, come inmany shapes and sizes. The oneBrian replaced was about thesize of a pop can although notquite as tall and maybe a littlebigger around. It had little elec-trical connectors on the top.When Corinne asked whatrepairs had been made, I told herwhat Brian had told me aboutthe capacitor going bad. As Iexpected, this didnt actuallyexplain much of anything to myfrau since electrical widgetsarent her thing. It didnt actual-ly explain all that much to meeither except in a vague sort ofway. Later we looked capacitorsup and found they store energyin an electric field and can stabi-lize voltage and power flow. Wewerent a lot wiser for this newinformation either, but that does-nt really matter if were not inthe business of fiddling with elec-

trical circuits and the like whichI certainly am not. I leave that toindividuals who know how todeal with such things withoutgetting themselves fried by straybolts of electricity. Suffice it tosay that a defective capacitor willbring things to a halt, and a goodone will allow you to get on withlife.

What saved us somewhat onFriday was that I reverted to mychildhood on Thursday nightwhen the air conditioner quitworking. I threw open all thewindows and let the cool nightair in. Naturally, we had to turnout all the lights to avoid beingswarmed by those miniscule bugsthat can squeeze through thescreens, and there were a lot ofthem about. We left a TV on forChance and a computer for me,but the other lights went out.

Occasionally our viewing screensgot a little buggy, but Id justsquish the suckers and go on.Then, before the day heated up,the windows were slammed backshut.As a kid, we didnt even have

electricity, much less air condi-tioning. After the arrival of elec-tricity, we still went many yearswithout cooling machines. Final-

Lookin Around Syd Iwan

Jesus said, Pray then in thisway: Our Father who is in heav-en, Hallowed be Your name. Yourkingdom come. Your will bedone, on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our debts, as wealso have forgiven our debtors.And do not lead us into tempta-tion but deliver us from evil. [ForYours is the kingdom and thepower and the glory forever.Amen.] (Matthew 6:9-13NASB).

The prayer called The LordsPrayer is a great prayer. It is amodel for all of us, showing ushow we are to pray. In theGospel of Matthew, Jesus teach-es the prayer as a part of hisSermon on the Mount discourse.Parallel to Matthew in theGospel of Luke, Jesus teachesthe prayer to His disciples inresponse to their request: Lordteach us to pray as John taughthis disciples.

Sadly, though, some folks donot pray The Lords Prayer atall, whether in church withother believers or by them-selves, because they revert backto Jesus words in Matthew 6:7where Jesus says, And when

you are praying, do not usemeaningless repetition as theGentiles do, for they supposethey will be heard for theirmany words. The writer ofEcclesiastes states, Do not bequick with your mouth, do notbe hasty in your heart to utteranything before God. God is inheaven and you are on earth, solet your words be few.

I believe that what Jesus issaying in Matthew 6 is that forany prayer, if it is not from theheart, it just becomes a mean-ingless ritual. The repetitioncan become more like a hypnoticincantation. William Barclay inhis commentary on Matthewstates: When a [person] beginsto think more of how they arepraying than what they arepraying, their prayer dies upontheir lips. Sadly, some of usprobably put more heart andmeaning into the secular oathsand pledges we repeat than wedo The Lords Prayer or anyprayer. Remember, prayer ismeant to change you, not God.

How often, like the Phariseepraying in the temple, we tellGod how good we are and fail topray like the tax-collector whobeat his breast and said, Lord,be merciful to me, a sinner!?

When you pray, whether itsthe Lords Prayer or anotherprayer, dont just say the wordswithout thinking about them dont hurry mean what yousay. Pray from the heart. And,when you pray at home or inchurch, if you cannot think ofanything else to say to God, pray

the Lords Prayer, its a greatprayer because, like starting acold engine, it might just give akick-start to warm-up your spir-it. Know that the Lords Prayeris a great prayer that is to beprayed always and is a model ofhow you are to pray every day.And, keep Praying Until Something Happens.P.U.S.H. Amen.

Seizing the hope set before usHeb. 6:18

The August issue of the Ameri-can Journal of Medicine has anarticle that addresses how wellpatients follow medicine instruc-tions. The study was based uponseveral criteria including checkswith the pharmacy to see if thepatient had even purchased themedication.

All of the patients in the studyhad significant hypertension,high blood cholesterol or diabetes.They had all been prescribedmedications that were evidence-based for their condition. Specifi-cally, the medications that theyhad been prescribed had been

shown to stop the heart attack,stroke and kidney disease that socommonly follows hypertension,diabetes and high blood choles-terol. Specifically, when a medica-tion has been tried and demon-strated to improve a persons sit-uation, the medical term is calledevidence-based showing thatthe medication works for thegiven condition.

Yet the article in the AmericanJournal of Medicine demonstrat-ed that of 37,000 patients fol-lowed in this study only half weretaking their medication by theend of the year the prescriptionhad been provided. Of those nottaking the medication as pre-scribed, the medical term todescribe this groups behavior isnon-compliance, a word that isperhaps a little more respectfulbut equally descriptive is non-adherence. Call it what you willthis group of patients were takingtheir medications only half of thetime.

This article called to mind agentleman I helped care for sev-eral years ago. He was a 58-year-old person who came to the clinicbecause he had headaches. Hisblood pressure was 240 millime-ters of mercury over 140 millime-ters of mercury. Note that a nor-mal blood pressure is 120 over 80or less. His blood pressure wasdangerously high. He was provid-ed medication for pain to stop his

headaches and at the same timewas started on blood pressuremedication to get his blood pres-sure down in the normal range.This had to done over severalweeks time as too fast a drop inblood pressure can cause a strokeall by itself. He came back a weeklater and his blood pressure wasbetter controlled, his medicationswere adjusted slightly and amonth later his blood pressurewas normal. The gentleman had afamily with five children, two ofwhom were in college.

He returned two months laterand his blood pressure was backat 180 over 110. I inquiredregarding his sleep habit, hisheadaches, his salt intake, thestress level and he indicated thatnone of these were a particular

problem. I then inquired abouthis medications and he said thathe had stopped them. I inquiredas to why and he said he just did-nt believe in taking medicationslong term. He felt that medica-tions had side effects, wereexpensive and they just werentnatural. I warned him that whatwas not natural was his bloodpressure. I warned him that if hedidnt take his medications asprescribed, he was at a huge riskfor having a stroke at a youngage. I explained to him that one ofthe uglier kinds of stroke is thatwhich affects the left side of thebrain and leaves the right side ofthe body without movement. Thistype of stroke is often associatedwith the inability to speak. Ithink in order to placate me, hesaid yeah, yeah, yeah, he wouldtake his medications.

I didnt see him for threemonths and on this occasionwhen he returned it was on a lit-ter in the ambulance where hisstroke had already happened.Unfortunately, it was a dense andirreversible stroke just like theone I had described to him previ-ously. Cases like this make animpression on a physician andcreate an indelible memory. Hisability to walk and to speak oruse his right arm were lost. Hiscareer as a farmer/rancher wasover. He could still communicateby shaking his head in regard to

yes or no but he had no speech.When I read the article in the

American Journal of Medicine, Ithought about this man. As itturned out, he had stopped hismedication soon after his lastvisit with me. To a series of headshaking yes and no answers, heindicated the excuses were justwhat he said before. The medica-tions were not natural and he did-nt want to take a medication longterm. As soon as his blood pres-sure had gone down from the pre-vious visit and his headacheswere gone, he stopped the med-ication again.

The American pharmaceuticalindustry is not perfect and itsmotives for introducing a newdrug are frequently profit-direct-ed with the hope that the medica-

tion will be effective for the givencondition being treated. Butwhen a new medication comesout, there is always the first per-son to take it. It is not until sever-al hundred thousand have usedthe medication for several yearsthat a good answer regarding thesafety and effectiveness of themedication can be determined.But even with medications thatare evidence based, generic andcheap, some people like the gen-tleman just described, wont takea medication for whatever reasonthey conjure up.

It is my personal feeling thatthe trust of our society for themedical community is failing for avariety of reasons. The point ofthe article in the American Jour-nal of Medicine was the differencebetween the two groups of peoplein the 37,000 that were studied.One group did not take the med-ications as prescribed. The othergroup did. There was a 50 percentincrease in the rate of heartattacks, stroke and kidney failurein the group of patients who werenon-compliant (non-adherent). Inorder for the evidence-based med-ications that we have to work,somehow our society has tochange the behavior of the half ofthe population that will not takea medication once prescribed.Medications do not work in thebottle. But they cut the rate ofheart attack and stroke in halfwhen taken as prescribed.

South Dakota Common Core

Standards: frequently asked questionsWhat are South Dakotas

Common Core Standards?South Dakotas Common CoreStandards refer to a set of stan-

dards in the core subject areas ofEnglish-language arts and math.The standards provide a clearand rigorous set of expectationsfor what South Dakota students(grades K-12) should know and beable to do in each of these twocritical subject areas. The stan-dards are shared by a number ofstates.

How are they differentfrom previous standards?South Dakota has had stan-

dards in various subject areas,including English-language artsand math, for many years. Thenew standards in English andmath are different in that theypromote:

Deeper understanding of thekey concepts students need tosucceed as independent thinkers;

Students ability to applyknowledge to real-world situa-

tions; Instruction that places more

emphasis on understanding andapplication, as opposed to memo-rization and test-taking

Richer, more authentic typesof assessmentHow were the new standards

developed?The idea to develop a shared

set of standards among the statesbegan as a conversation amongthe nations governors and chief

education leaders. A group of 45states banded together to set con-sistent, high quality expectations.The standards were developed by

teams of teachers, researchersand leading education expertsfrom across the United States.Each partner-state chose whetheror not to adopt the standards.

When did South Dakotaadopt the new standards?The South Dakota Board of

Education voted to adopt the newstandards in English-languagearts and math on Nov. 29, 2010.When will implementation of

the new standardstake place?

Teachers across the state havebegun training on how to fosterthe deeper levels of understand-ing and higher-order thinkingskills needed of students underthe new standards. The stan-dards should be fully implement-ed in school year 2013-14, with anew assessment to follow in 2014-15.

What will the new assess-ment look like?

The new assessment, based onthe new standards, will replacethe current Dakota STEP test.The new test will incorporatemore short answer and construct-ed response questions, as opposedto the current status quo of most-ly multiple choice questions. It isalso important to note that thenew assessment will be deliveredsolely online, and districts are

already preparing for this transi-tion.

Do students still need tomemorize math facts?

Yes. While the new math stan-dards emphasize thorough under-standing, (meaning students willknow how and why conceptswork) they will still require stu-dents to perform simple calcula-tions quickly and easily.Does classic literature have aplace under the new English

standards?Yes. While the new English-

language arts standards infusemore informational text into stu-dent reading, teachers will con-tinue to teach literary classics asthey always have. The English-language arts standards do notlimit reading to non-fiction butsuggest a balance between litera-ture and non-fiction texts (forexample, the GettysburgAddress), so students can buildknowledge and broaden their per-spectives. This exposure to infor-

mational text will help studentsbe prepared for the type of read-ing they will encounter in theworkforce.

Is there federal moneyattached to the adoption of

Common Core?The Common Core is not feder-

ally mandated, and South Dakotadid not receive any federal moneytied to adoption of the new stan-dards.Ive heard that the Common

Core dictates curriculum forlocal school districts. Is that

true?No. The new standards in Eng-

lish-language arts and math arenot curriculum. School districtsstill set their own curriculum, asthey always have. Its importantto understand the differencebetween standards and curricu-lum; the two terms should not beused interchangeably. Standardsprovide the framework of expec-tations for student knowledgeand skills. Curriculum detailshow the standards should betaught and includes resources,materials and instruction.

In South Dakota, the stateBoard of Education is chargedwith adopting standards. Localschool districts have the authori-ty to decide how to teach andimplement the standards, includ-ing the selection of instructionalmaterials and practices.

Are there Common Core stan-dards for history and social stud-

ies, or any other content areas?There were no Common Corestandards developed for socialstudies, only English languagearts (ELA) and math. Teachersmay choose to use some ELA con-cepts, such as identifying anauthors point of view and ques-tioning that which is presented asfact in a text, as part of their writ-ing assignments in a historyclass; however, the new standardsdo not attempt to outline what istaught in social studies classes.

Many producers are expecting afall harvest that will exceed theirgrain bin capacity, as well as thestorage capacity at the local ele-vator. Planning ahead as to whatcrops to harvest first, where eachcrop will be stored, and what todo in the event of crops thatrequire aeration or drying maypay big dividends.

The recommended moisturecontent for short-term storage(less than six months) of clean,sound grains, with aeration avail-able if needed, for the most com-monly grown crops are as follows;corn 15.5 percent, millet 10percent, grain sorghum 13.5percent, soybeans 13 percent,non-oil sunflower 11 percent, oilsunflower 10 percent. If storingfor longer than six months, lowermoisture contents are recom-mended. Producers are advised tocheck stored grain on a regularbasis for moisture migration,insect activity, mold developmentand increase in grain tempera-ture.

With the large crop expectedthis fall, many producers maywant to begin harvest when the

earliest crop is above the recom-mended moisture content and dryit to a safe level. Weather condi-tions could also make harvestingsome of the crop at higher thanrecommended moisture contents

necessary in order to avoid largefield losses.When harvesting grains above

the recommended moisture con-tent, the length of time the cropcan be stored without excessivedry matter losses is a function ofthe moisture content and thegrain temperature. This is calledallowable storage time (AST), andis based on 0.5 percent dry matterloss from kernels with normalharvest damage. Kernels withgreater than normal damage willspoil two to five times faster. Athigher moisture levels, ASTbecomes critical. AST for shelledcorn at 20 percent moisture and45 degrees F is 67 days, but at 60degrees F, is only 28 days. A tablewith ASTs for corn at variousmoisture contents and grain tem-peratures is available in the fact-sheet, ExEx 1014, Grain DryingGuidelines for a Wet Fall Har-vest: http://pubstorage.sdstate.edu/AgBio_Publications/arti-cles/ExEx1014.pdf.

If grain needs to be storedlonger than the AST expectedwith the moisture content andtemperature of the grain, youhave two choices, cool the grainwith aeration (if possible) or drythe grain. True aeration occurs

with an airflow rate of one-tenthcubic foot of air per minute perbushel of grain (0.1 cfm/bu), andwill change the temperature of abin in 100 to 200 hours of fanoperation. Higher airflow rates

will accomplish the cooling in pro-portionately less time (0.5 cfm/bu= 20-40 hrs). The grain will onlybe cooled to near the average out-side air temperature during theaeration period. Additional aera-tion may be required as the out-side air temperature drops, untilyou reach an acceptable AST,based on the grain moisture andtemperature. Airflow rates of 1cfm/bu are required to accomplishnatural air drying, but this alsotakes time, and spoilage is a riskif grain is harvested at high mois-ture levels.

It is important to recognize thatthe smaller seeded crops like mil-let, sorghum and sunflower pro-vide greater resistance to airflowthan larger seeded crops like cornand soybeans. The same fans andgrain depth that are used to aer-ate corn or soybeans may not ade-quately aerate the smaller seededcrops.

How wet can your crop be andstill be safe to bin or pile on theground? The answer lies in theAST, based on the moisture con-tent and temperature of the grainand how long before you will beable to cool it or dry it to the rec-ommended moisture content forstorage.

Overall crop

budgets downA few weeks before harvest

South Dakota overall crop budg-ets are showing lower returns for2014, said Jack Davis, SDSUExtension Crops Business Man-agement Field Specialist.

With lower commodity pricesand near constant costs comparedto the past four years, returns tolabor and management are pro-jected below levels realized dur-ing that time, Davis said.

Davis said the projected pricesused in the budgets are lowerthan 2013 projections. Projectedprices per bushel are corn at$4.50, soybeans at $11.50, andwheat at $6.50," Davis said.

Direct costs estimates per acreare corn at $385, soybeans at$195, and wheat at $195. Directcosts as a percent of revenue are57.6 percent for corn, 37.8 percent

for soybeans, and 50 percent forwheat.

He explained that the two keycosts for each crop are seed andfertilizer.

Seed and fertilizer expense asa percent of revenue are at 36

percent for corn, 20 percent forsoybeans, and 29 percent forwheat, Davis said. As seed andfertilizer costs are a high percent-age of revenue, managementfocus on these two items will paygood dividends. Land andmachinery costs are also key costitems in each of the crops.

He explained that to achievethe greatest return on farmingoperations, management timeshould be spent on cost controland best management practicesof key input items.

Fertilizer costs were the mostvariable category from year toyear and prices have trendedlower for fertilizer during 2013,he said.

He added that corn on corn isnot as profitable as the past fewyears.

If a farm experiences yielddrags with continuous corn, croprotation may offer a profitablealternative. The price and yieldsused in these budgets favor soy-beans also giving incentive to usecrop rotation, he said.

First report of spotted-wing

drosophila in South DakotaThe first specimen of spotted-

wing drosophila (Drosophilasuzukii) was identified in SouthDakota on August 28 2013. Thespecimen was collected in a vine-gar trap set in Yankton County.Trapping and preliminary identi-fication was conducted byBuyung Hadi, SDSU ExtensionEurban Entomology Specialist.The identification was confirmedby Paul Johnson, Professor ofentomology and director of Sev-erin-McDaniel insect collection atSDSU.

Spotted-wing drosophila wasfirst detected in California in2008. Subsequently populationsof spotted-wing drosophila havebeen detected in multiple statesin all parts of the country includ-ing the Midwest.

Unlike other vinegar flies that

are considered nuisance due totheir habit of laying eggs insidecracked or damaged fruits, femalespotted-wing drosophila has ser-rated ovipositor capable of layingeggs inside healthy ripe fruits,Hadi said. Consequently, devel-oping larvae (small white mag-gots) can often be found withinthe harvestable fruits.

Hadi said this is especially truefor raspberry, blueberry andblackberry. Due to this, spotted-wing drosophila is considered apotentially damaging pest forsmall fruit production.

SDSU Extension is currentlyorganizing a volunteer-basedtrapping effort in collaborationwith fruit growers across thestate to assess the spatial distri-bution of the potentially damag-ing insect pest.

Asexcited as we may be for halftimeperformances and cross countrymeets, its more than likely thatMother Nature may cancel morethan a few of our upcoming gamesand activities.

As South Dakotans, we have allcome to accept our states ever-changing weather as part of its

charm. From spring blizzards to fallfreezes and extreme heat to frigidcold, the Great Plains is home tosome of natures most fascinatingand dangerous weather events.

After living in South Dakota my

entire life, its hardly surprisingwhen we find ourselves revving upthe snow blower in May or trick-or-treating in snow suits in October.

I believe its important for all ofus to take the time to prepare andeducate friends and family on thepossible dangers we may face due toweather. September is FEMAsNational Preparedness Month,which aims to educate all Ameri-cans and help prepare families forany type of emergency. Althoughpreparedness is highlighted thismonth, its important to rememberthat preparedness needs to be partof our daily lives.

Its possible that your family

may not be together when a disas-ter strikes, so make a plan to figureout how everyone will get to a safeplace and how you will contact oneanother. Make sure to also figureout emergency plans at work,

school and other locations whereyour family spends time. There aremany effective resources to helpyour family prepare for severeweather and emergencies, includ-ing the South Dakota Departmentof Public Safety and your localemergency manager.

Take time this month to build anemergency preparedness plan ifyou dont already have one andthen go over and practice your planwith your loved ones. For moreinformation about how to make anemergency plan and ways to stayinformed in your community, visitwww.Ready.gov for more informa-tion.

From the U.S. House Representative Kristi Noem

From the U.S. Senate Senator John Thune

What if I told you that if yougraduated from college in the last10 years, in addition to your stu-dent loan debt, you might owe thefederal government over $300,000?If youre in your 20s and 30s, that isunfortunately your reality.

For too long, politicians in Wash-ington have focused on passing billsthat put a Band-Aid over fiscalproblems in the short term, whileignoring the long-term conse-quences for future generations. Theresult is a massive fiscal gap that

will place crippling financial bur-dens on todays young people.

From a personal standpoint, Iworry about how the rising debtburden will affect my two daugh-ters, who recently graduated col-lege and entered the workforce. Therecord levels of debt were amassingcould lead to a fiscal crisis in thecoming decade, as the nonpartisanCongressional Budget Office haswarned. This would harm economicgrowth, destroy jobs, and drive upinterest rates, which would make itmore expensive for young people toborrow money for college or buytheir first home.

That is why I recently introduceda bill along with Senator Tim Kaine

(D-Va.) to bring more transparencyto the budget process and ensurethat members of Congress and theadministration have the informa-tion they need to prepare for futurebudget realities.

The Intergenerational FinancialObligations Reform (INFORM) Actwould provide for detailed, long-term analysis of how major legisla-tive policies, economic advance-ments, and congressional budgetdecisions would impact future gen-erations. This approach, which isknown as a generational account-ing and fiscal gap analysis, wouldexamine the full scope of the gov-ernments obligations, present andfuture, and then analyze the effectsthose obligations will have on cur-rent and future generations. Itwould also require the president to

provide a detailed accounting ofhow the administrations budgetand policy recommendations wouldaffect young people down the line.

Under current practice, Con-gress is typically only provided withinformation about the budgetaryimpacts of spending and policy deci-sions over the next 10 years. Ourbill would allow Congress and theadministration to look at the effectsthat changes in the economy,spending, or taxes would have on

Americans 20, 50, or even 75 yearsdown the road.

Fortunately, if we act now, wecan stop this spiral of spending anddebt and start building a more sta-ble financial future. Politicians inWashington have spent enoughtime kicking the can down the road.Its time to stop mortgaging young

Americans futures and start beingaccountable for our actions.
