WASHINGTON The United
States Postal Service announced
plans today to transition to a new
delivery schedule during the
week of Aug. 5, 2013 that includes
package delivery Monday
through Saturday, and mail deliv-
ery Monday through Friday. The
Postal Service expects to generate
cost savings of approximately $2
billion annually, once the plan is
fully implemented.
The Postal Service is advanc-
ing an important new approach to
delivery that reflects the strong
growth of our package business
and responds to the financial re-
alities resulting from Americas
changing mailing habits, said
Patrick R. Donahoe, Postmaster
General and CEO. We developed
this approach by working with
our customers to understand
their delivery needs and by iden-
tifying creative ways to generate
significant cost savings.
Over the past several years,
the Postal Service has advocated
shifting to a five-day delivery
schedule for mail and packages.
However, recent strong growth in
package delivery (14 percent vol-
ume increase since 2010) and pro-
jections of continued strong
package growth throughout the
coming decade led to the revised
approach to maintain package de-
livery six days per week.
Our customers see strong
value in the national delivery
platform we provide and main-
taining a six-day delivery sched-
ule for packages is an important
part of that platform, said Dona-
hoe. As consumers increasingly
use and rely on delivery services
especially due to the rise of e-com-
merce we can play an increas-
ingly vital role as a delivery
provider of choice, and as a driver
of growth opportunities for Amer-
icas businesses.
Once implemented during Au-
gust of 2013, mail delivery to
street addresses will occur Mon-
day through Friday. Packages
will continue to be delivered six
days per week. Mail addressed to
PO Boxes will continue to be de-
livered on Saturdays. Post Offices
currently open on Saturdays will
remain open on Saturdays.
Market research conducted by
the Postal Service and independ-
ent research by major news or-
ganizations indicate that nearly
seven out of ten Americans (70
percent) supported the switch to
five-day delivery as a way for the
Postal Service to reduce costs in
its effort to return the organiza-
tion to financial stability. Sup-
port for this approach will likely
be even higher since the Postal
Service plans to maintain six-day
package delivery.
The Postal Service is making
the announcement today, more
than six months in advance of im-
plementing five-day mail delivery
schedule, to give residential and
business customers time to plan
and adjust. The Postal Service
plans to publish specific guidance
in the near future for residential
and business customers about its
new delivery schedule.
Given the ongoing financial
challenges, the Postal Service
Board of Governors last month di-
rected postal management to ac-
celerate the restructuring of
Postal Service operations in order
to strengthen Postal Service fi-
nances.
The American public under-
stands the financial challenges of
the Postal Service and supports
these steps as a responsible and
reasonable approach to improving
our financial situation, said Don-
ahoe. The Postal Service has a
responsibility to take the steps
necessary to return to long-term
financial stability and ensure the
continued affordability of the U.S.

Dear Editor:
We are all aware that there are
heroes among us the ordinary
people who do extraordinary
things in service to others in
times of danger and desperation.
At VA Black Hills Health Care
System (BHHCS) we are privi-
leged to care for many of our com-
munitys heroes and want the rest
of our citizens to join us in honor-
ing them during the National
Salute to Hospitalized Veterans
event from February 10-16. We
invite individuals and groups to
show their love and appreciation
for the Veterans who defended
their freedoms by taking part in
"Visit a Vet for Valentine's Day"
during observance of the National
Salute.
The quality and level of care
we provide our Veterans is di-
rectly linked to community sup-
port. Our dedicated staff, our
hundreds of caring volunteers
and the other healthcare institu-
tions and schools we work with
are all parts of a community effort
that contributes to the care we
provide our Veterans.
I invite every citizen to partic-
ipate. You can start by visiting
Veterans at our Fort Meade and
Hot Springs VA Medical Centers
during the National Salute. But
you dont have to stop there;
many of our Veterans have spe-
cial needs and challenges that re-
quire the hearts and hands of a
new generation of VA volunteers.
We invite you to join us in honor-
ing our Veterans year round by
learning more about VAs volun-
teer program.
For information about our Na-
tional Salute program and to
schedule a visit for yourself or
your group, call our Voluntary
Service Departments at Fort
Meade, 605.347.7206; or at Hot
Springs, 605.745.2865. I encour-
age you to take time every day to
thank a Veteran and hear their
story of service to our country.
Thank you for your outstanding
support!

Letter to the editor,
Country-of Origin Labeling
(COOL) provides valuable infor-
mation about the origin of the
food we purchase for our families.
I am glad that Senator Johnson
and Senator Thune, along with 29
United States Senators, signed
onto a bipartisan letter to USDA
and the US Trade Representative
to keep COOL requirements in
place. Because Congress passed
COOL, we now have a legal right
to know the origin of our food.
This makes good, common sense.
Unfortunately, the World Trade
Organization (WTO) is trying to
force the United States to weaken
our COOL law. Thanks to Sena-
tor Johnson and Senator Thune
for reaching across the aisle to de-
fend COOL against the WTO's at-
tack.

Don Hight, age 92, of Lemmon
and formerly of Murdo, South
Dakota, died at Five Counties
Nursing Home in Lemmon on
Sunday, February 10, 2013.
Don Hight was born on Novem-
ber 3, 1920, the fifth of 10 chil-
dren to Charles and Edith Hight.
He grew up in the White River
area. After graduating from high
school, he entered the U.S. Army
and served as a paratrooper in
Europe during WWII. He then
began ranching south of Murdo,
where he and his wife, Adeline,
made their home.They had two
children, Dan and Cheryl. The
family raised longhorn cattle,
horses, and buffalo.Don was well-
known in the rodeo circle for all
the rank bucking horses and
nasty bucking bulls that came off
the Hight Ranch.
In 1962, Don captured the
worlds attention by trailing over
1800 head of cattle from Westover
to Winner, a distance of 70 miles.
Shortly after, Don and Adeline
flew to California, where Don was
featured in an episode of the
Rawhide TV series.
Surviving him are son, Dan
Hight and his wife, Vanessa, and
their children Cody, Hannah, and
Bridger of White River; daughter,
Cheryl and her husband, Barry
Vig of Opal; their daughter, Geor-
gia and her husband, Steve Dale
and sons, Joe and Jeremy of
Rapid City; their son, Justin Vig
and his wife, Mellissa and chil-
dren, Blake and Skylar of Faith;
their daughter, Marti Jo and her
husband, Bucky Derflinger and
daughter, Jami of Opal; and their
son, Ryan of Opal; also two sis-
ters, Lorraine Fraser and
Dorothy Hight.
Preceding him in death were
his wife of 53 years, Adeline; his
parents Charles and Edith Hight;
four brothers, Harold, Harlan,
Ray, and Roy; and three sisters,
Maurine Hight, Irene Schramm,
and Sally Littau.
Funeral services will be at 2:00
PM on Wednesday, February 13,
2013, at Grace United Methodist
Church at Piedmont, with visita-
tion from 12:00 noon until time of
service. Burial will be at the

Heres a brief review of some of
the S.D. Legislatures recent ac-
tion.
Veterans seeking legislative
sanction of establishing a veter-
ans cemetery in Eastern South
Dakota were disappointed by the
House State Affairs Committee,
which voted Feb. 6 to kill it. Rep.
Stace Nelson, along with various
state veterans organizations,
asked for the authority to acquire
50 acres of land along the I-90
corridor, promising to raise the
money on their own. The Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs objected,
noting there currently are ceme-
teries in Sturgis, and soon to be in
Pine Ridge and Mission.
Restoring state salary assis-
tance to the countys veterans
service officers received initial ap-
proval Feb. 6 from House State
Affairs and was sent to the House
floor with a unanimous vote. The
annual $168,000 was cut two
years ago during the states
budget crunch. With HB1249,
counties would be able to request
reimbursement for some costs as-
sociated with the VSO.
Efforts to give voters another
chance to change terms for legis-
lators were addressed by the Sen-
ate State Affairs Committee
resulted in one plan given the
nod, the other sent to the 41st
day, or killed. The full Senate will
discuss SJR1, which changes the
length of the current two-year
terms to four. Killed was a pro-
posal to limit legislators to no
more than eight years in each
house, served consecutively. Sen.
Bill Van Gerpen, R-Tyndall, said
he was surprised SJR4 was not
given a Senate floor hearing,
when voters have expressed their
support for term limits.
A bill to permit counties and
townships to levy a capital im-
provement property tax for high-
ways, secondary roads, bridges,
and culverts passed through the
House Taxation Committee and is
expected to be heard in the House
this week. Counties could levy $1
per thousand, while townships
could levy half that. HB1189
would be an option where needed,
it was noted.
Democrats are seeking to
work with Republicans on eco-
nomic development this year.
Sen. Jason Frerichs, D-Wilmot,
said in a recent news conference
that infrastructure seems to be
the biggest stumbling block to
economic development. That
would include improvements for
roads, water and sewer and
broadband service. Housing, he
said, also goes hand in hand for
economic development.
Republicans leader Larry
Rhoden, Union Center, Senator,
said he has introduced a bill that
would provide a vehicle for con-
versation of K-12 funding, that
any increase would go to the
states funding effort. He said 30
senators and 48 house members
had co-signed the bill. It appears
there is a lot of support to have
that conversation, said Rhoden
in a Thursday news conference.
A standing-room-only meet-
ing of the Senate Ag Committee
Feb. 7 discussed SB148, which
would have reestablished certain
administrative rules in the De-
partment of Environment and
Natural Resources relating to un-
derground injection control and in
situ leach mining. After two
hours of testimony and discus-
sion, the bill was sent to the 41st
day, effectively killing it for this
session.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard said
in a Feb. 7 press conference that
the states economic recovery had
good news and bad news. The
good news: the recovery was pro-
ceeding at about the pace pro-
jected in December. However, the
bad news was that the news was
not any rosier than that, as it
had been in several preceding
years.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard said
several amendments have been
made to the School Sentinel bill,
which has created much discus-
sion. He said he doesnt object to
the underlying concept of the bill
as long as safeguards are in place.
The bill would allow school dis-
tricts to have an armed guard in
the school for protection of stu-
dents and teachers.
The Senate killed a joint
physical custody bill, SB125, on
Feb. 7. This is about children,
not about spouses, cautioned
Sen. Jean Hunhoff, R-Yankton.
Sen. Dan Lederman, R-Dakota
Dunes, noted that if it were not
the right concept, then why had
he gotten over 200 e-mails want-
ing it passed. The bill failed on a
vote of 13 in favor, 21 against, one
absent.

This week was the fifth week of
the 2013 legislative session and
were only seven legislative days
from Cross Over, which is the last
day for a bill or joint resolution to
pass the house of origin. We were
supposed to be back in Pierre on
Monday, but because of the bliz-
zard over the weekend that has
been canceled and were not
scheduled to go back until Tues-
day.
I was blessed with a great FFA
legislative shadow on Tuesday.
Savanna Sperle, the daughter of
Meria and Raydelle Sperle from
Buffalo, followed me through both
my committee meetings and
watched the afternoon session
from the gallery. We were also
visited by high school classes
from Newell and from Faith.
Hopefully watching the legisla-
tive procedure will inspire these
students to become more involved
in government.
Rep. Kristi Noem came to
Pierre this week, visited our cau-
cus, and spoke to both the House
and the Senate. Kristi and I came
in to the South Dakota House to-
gether seven years ago and it was
really nice to see her again. Kristi
cautioned us about the fiscal mess
in Washington and warned about
the sequestration deadline loom-
ing on March 1st.
The Governors Awards in the
Arts banquet was Wednesday
evening at the Ramkota and we
got to visit with three very tal-
ented artists from our area. Sev-
eral of John Lopezs sculptures
were featured in the exhibits and
on the brochures, Dale Lamphere
received the South Dakota Arts
Councils Distinction in Creative
Achievement award, and I finally
got to meet Jim Maher, a very tal-
ented sculptor from the Black
Hills. Dale Lamphere is the son of
Oakley Lamphere who graduated
from high school in Buffalo and
several of Dales statues are fea-
tured in the Capitol rotunda.
John Lopez and Jim Maher have
crafted many of the life size
bronze statues for the City of
Presidents in downtown Rapid
City, but Jim Mahers other claim
to fame is that he is a first cousin
to one of our younger kids fa-
vorite teachers at the Reva coun-
try school, Mary (Maher) Cook!!
Two of my bills dealing with
predator control moved out of the
Ag committee and passed the
House this week. HB 1167 to re-
vise the composition of the policy
review committee for animal
damage control will add one rep-
resentative from each of the fol-
lowing organizations to the
Animal Damage Control policy
review committee:
USDA/APHIS/Wildlife Services,
the South Dakota Sheep Growers,
South Dakota Cattlemen, South
Dakota Stockgrowers Association,
South Dakota Farmers Union,
South Dakota Farm Bureau, and
the South Dakota Wildlife Feder-
ation. HB 1168 will allow preda-
tor control districts to increase
levies on producers to fund pred-
ator control if producers see a
need and vote for the increase.
Another of my bills, HB 1083
to re-establish the crime of
rustling sheep and goats and
make it a Class 4 felony passed
the Ag committee unanimously
and was put on the consent calen-
dar, then it promptly ran into
problems. The governors Public
Safety bill, SB 70, lowers the
penalty for grand theft losses at
Short takes from the State Capitol
By Elizabeth Sam Grosz, Community News Service
different dollar amounts so HB
1083 was yanked off the consent
calendar and is now on Gov. Dau-
gaards kill list! Although I dont
like the idea, I may have to
amend out the Class 4 felony sec-
tion so sheep and goats can be
listed with cattle, horses, buffalo
and non-domestic elk as animals
that are illegal to steal.
Here are some of the bills that
passed the House this week:
*HB 1123 to increase the sur-
charge by a dollar on hunting li-
censes with the money going to
Animal Damage Control to fund
the predator control program.
This is my bill and Senator
Maher is the Senate prime.
*HB 1016 to move the location
of the cow-calf research and edu-
cation unit from Volga to Brook-
ings as authorized in chapter 107
of the 2012 Session Laws.
*HB 1122 to revise the require-
ments relating to health insur-
ance plans for county officers and
employees.
*HB 1126 was the massage
therapy bill. Instead of doing
away with the board as originally
intended, the bill was amended to
lessen the licensure restrictions
on massage therapists.
*HB 1153 to exempt environ-
mental upgrade values from as-
sessment during construction and
provide a sunset clause for the en-
vironmental upgrade exemption.
*HB 1239 to authorize school
districts to increase tax levies for
pension and health insurance
purposes.
*HB 1164 establishes a class-
room innovation grant program
and makes an appropriation.
*HB 1029 to exempt persons
hunting mountain lions from the
requirement to wear fluorescent
orange exterior garments.
*SB 49 establishes the fee
charged by registers of deeds for
documents filed by the Depart-
ment of Transportation disposing
of highway right-of-way that is no
longer needed for highway pur-
poses.
*HB 1002 provides for the cre-
ation of a trust account for un-lo-
catable mineral interest owners.
*HB 1067 designates
POW/MIA Recognition Day as a
working holiday. This honors vet-
erans that were prisoners of war
like my friend Bob Hanson from
Bison.
*HB 1084 designates Purple
Heart Recognition Day as a work-
ing holiday. This bill honors vet-
erans who were wounded in
action and received a Purple
Heart. My father, Bryce White,
earned two Purple Hearts after
being wounded while serving in
Northern Africa and on Anzio in
Italy during WWII. We owe a
debt to these soldiers that we can
never repay.

Word was received this week-
end of the passing of Albert (Ju-
nior) Steen of Faith and Don
Hight of White River. I know I
sound like a broken record but
these guys are the ones who have
made South Dakota a great state
to live in. They were both good
men who did what was right,
showed respect where it was due
and loved their country. I know
both men were grandpas who will
be missed!
I receive updates on Trinity
Woods from the Caring Bridge
site on the internet. She is having
a rough time right now and needs
our prayers. The following is
something her sister, Shawna
had written on the page: Please
pray for Trinity's comfort and de-
creased pain. Please also pray for
wisdom and peace for us all (espe-
cially Trinity and her physicians)
as decisions are made about how
to proceed at this point.
The e address is www.caring-
bridge.org/visit/trintywoods. If it
asks you to sign in, go ahead. It is
a wonderful site that eases the
way for us to check on the health
of someone with issues. I have
used it for several years to check
on many friends and have never
been forced to pay anything.
There will be a wedding
shower Sunday, February 24, at
the White Owl Hall for Chuck
Timmons and Darlene Bolm. The
shower begins at 1:00 P.M. with a
potluck. Everyone is invited (guys
that means you too). Call Kay
King with any questions.
There was a two-dayfire train-
ing meeting held at Union Center
this past weekend. About 15 peo-
ple attended including Jason
Radway, Val and LeAnn Hlavka.
My brother-in-law Denver En-
right was released from the Ab-
erdeen Hospital Friday. He will
be starting chemo there next
week. Best wishes go out to him.
Tuesday, Jim and Vonnie
O'Dea were off to Philip to ap-
pointments. Vonnie visited her
Aunt Eleanor Kroetch and later
visited long time friend, Joy
Neville. Norma Oldenberg joined
them for coffee at Joy's.
O'Deas were off to Belle
Fourche to grandson Michael De-
ichert's basketball game. Vonnie's
great neice plays for Belle, so they
got to visit Vonnie's sister Twila
Dean and some of her family.
Spearfish had the wins in basket-
ball, but good visiting was had by

tractor was a good excuse to go to
Union Center. While they were
there they killed two birds with
one stone by getting that fixed
and picking up Jim and Vonnie
O'Dea's meat. Vonnie says its
nice to have the freezer full again.
The south Plainview water sys-
tem had a leak in the 4 water
pipe this past week. Long suffer-
ing designated pipeline fixer
Allen Waterland called for Rex
Gilles to bring the backhoe and
made a trip to Rapid City for re-
pairs. Its not done yet, but they
plan to fix it Monday morning.
Thanks to Allen for all he does to
keep our water system working
cause he gets no pay, just our
thanks.
Harold and I were in Faith
Thursday to watch Faith play
Tiospaye Topa. Bub Thompson,
Cody and Denise Weyer and girls
were also there to see Faith win
both games.
Congratulations to the Faith
Girls Basketball team for their
third place in the West River
Tournament played this past
weekend.
Robert Wondercheck and Nick
Caspers were grooming bulls for
John Sletten this past week.
When Kevin Jensen emailed
me about the Mothers Club mem-
bers he listed the following peo-
ple: Velma Sandstrom, Mrs.
Pankratz, Jo Schuh, and Edythe
Dexheimer. I recognize Velma
Sandstrom and Edythe Dex-
heimer but dont know what
Schuh and Pankratz did. Anyone
remember what they or their hus-
bands did and where they lived in
Faith? Kevin, are you going to
have to straighten me out again?
I went through another box of
treasures from my folks today
and I struck gold, a Faith Inde-
pendent from February 6, 1957!
The front page had a picture of a
beautiful young woman Pat
Payette engaged to Don Lutz. In-
side, the Marcus News by Rose
Howie and the Plainview News
by Sally Hlavka both mentioned
the birth of Vern and Rosalie Si-
mons daughter, Juanita (Del-
bridge). Grandma Howie
mentioned that John and Corrine
Schmidt had been down to watch
T.V. There was a large ad urging
you to Buy a pickup at Stovall
and Drum. It was an Interna-
tional pickup in the ad. I have
never heard of Stovall having
anything except the saddle shop.
Where was the store or imple-
ment building and how long did
they run? One classified ad of-
fered to sell chickens for 80 cents
each or $1.00 picked. If you
bought 12 of them, Jennie Wilson
would even deliver them to Faith
on Monday. The Wapazo Theatre
was showing Ray Edge. I didnt
see the names of any stars Id
even heard of. I wondered what it
cost to see the show but didnt
find that. I also found old family
pictures and letters with stamps
worth 1 cent, 8 cents and 9 cents
on them. What a nice way to
spend a cold wintery afternoon.
Got any answers for me, email
vickywaterland@hotmail.com or
call 985-5318.
Chandelle Brink and children
came out to her folks, Dwayne
and Zona Vig, on Tuesday for a
visit and also to visit JT, Kelsey
and Brixie Vig. Landan Brink
stayed at the ranch for a few days
and was able to complete a few
projects with the help of Morgan
Vig. Thursday, Zona took Landan
to meet his mother at the Winkler
Ranch where she was visiting.
John and Carmen Heidler
went to Rapid City on Tuesday to
keep an appointment. Wednes-
day, Heidlers had both the hay
grinder fellow and the gas man
show up and OJ Heidler came
down and a time of visiting was
held.
Faye Fees had a follow-up ap-
pointment with her knee surgeon
on Tuesday in Spearfish. Every-
thing looked the way it should,
except a good case of 'Arthur' has
settled there. I drove for Faye and
we shopped a bit in Spearfish, vis-
ited my tax lady in Whitewood,
ate lunch and visited with Margie
Ingalls in Sturgis and headed
home.
Bernice Lemmel reported a
trip to town this week for themto
see the doctor and they stopped
by to visit Rorey Lemmel and
family for a bit. Bernice's shoul-
der is giving her some pain. Hope
they get it figured out and fixed
up for her.
John Heidler went to Lemmon
on Thursday and stopped by to
play with the granddaughters
near Faith before coming home.
Carmen made a trip into Faith on
Friday.
Glenn, Margaret and Dan Fo-
gelman made a trip into Rapid
City on Friday to keep an ap-
pointment and replenish their
wood pellet supply.
Sunday was a rather blustery
morning so Dwayne Vig drove up
to services at Prairie City rather
than flying. Hope and Zona Vig
drove into services in Faith and
stopped to make a delivery at JT
and Kelsey Vigs.
Sam and Cheryl Cowles spent
the weekend, plus a day due to in-
terstate being closed, in Sioux
Falls. Larry Reinhold was to hold
services for the Opal Community
Church but with the uncertain
weather predication the decision
was made to cancel services. As it
turned out here we got just a
trace of snow and plenty of blow.
Cheryl Vig's father, Don Hight
passed away this weekend. Our
condolences got out to Barry and
Cheryl Vig and their family. The
man made a lot of good memories
for his descendents for years to
come.

Well, the biggest news last
week was about the upcoming
blizzard. While there were places
that received a measurable
amount of snow, Meade County
received mostly wind. Strong
winds blew all of Sunday.
Despite the annoying, cold,
windy weather, the legislative
cracker barrel scheduled at the
Community Baptist Church fel-
lowship room went on at 1:30 pm
on Sunday. The questions and
comments covered a wide variety
of topics in a relaxed atmosphere.
Because of the predicted bad
weather the Bull Creek Cafe was
not open, so Amy Cammack made
up a large roaster of soup for
those who came early to eat out
and attend the cracker barrel.
Western Dakota Families and the
Farm Bureau hosted the event
and provided coffee, lemonade,
and refreshments. The three leg-
islators spent their Saturday at
cracker barrels in Sturgis, Belle
Fourche, and Newell.
The Faith basketball season is
nearing its end with games this
Friday in McIntosh, and in Faith
on Saturday with Philip. Satur-
day is parents night for the Faith
boys basketball team. They will
play Wall next Thursday, Feb.22
and then District games will
begin on February 25 at Harding
County.
A blood drive was scheduled
for Monday at the Community
Baptist Church in Union Center
Because this Thursday is
Valentines Day there will not be
Rural Neighbors. Next Thursday,
Feb.21 at 1:00 pm will be the next
Rural Neighbors.
Lorie (Rhoden) Haussman,
Donna Cammack, and Elaine
Rowett made a trip to Pierre last
Tuesday and Wednesday. Lorie
spent some time with her twin
brother, Larry Rhoden, as it was
their birthday on Feb.5. Donna
and Elaine spent some time with
Gary Cammack, Donna's son and
Elaine's brother, in Pierre. They
attended committee meetings and
sat up in the gallery during the
full House and Senate debates.
Sandy Rhoden drove to Pierre
on Monday morning and attended
several meetings with the Faith
senior class and their government
teacher, Deanna Fischbach, and
principal, Kelly Daughters. They
met with Lt. Governor Matt
Michels for 40 minutes, attended
committee meetings, full House
and Senate floor debates, sat in
the Supreme Court Room, and
toured some areas in the Capitol,
and fed the ducks and fish at the
lake. Sandy rode back to Pierre
with Joan Wink on Thursday
where she, Joan, and Amy Cam-
mack attended a luncheon at the
Governor's mansion with Linda
Daugaard as the hostess. The
Winks and Cammacks stayed on
for the military ball that evening.
The Rhodens headed back to
Faith for their son Reggie's bas-
ketball game.
Chris and Felicia Cammack
hosted a friend from Namibia,
Africa since last Tuesday until
Wednesday of this week. He
comes from a very rural area and
lives on a ranch that host hunters
of at least a dozen varieties of
game animals. They run cattle
and sheep as well. Hoekus Van
Niekerk is their freind's name.
Chris and Felicia have been away
doing trade shows and their next
one will be in Salt Lake City.

The 4 percent sales tax on food
items remains intact after a pro-
posal to cut it failed to make it out
of the House Taxation Committee
recently.
The tax would have been de-
creased to zero percent, which
through a technicality, would
have allowed cities to continue
charging their one or two percent
currently in place.
Rep. Marc Feinstein, D-Sioux
Falls, led the discussion, noting
that the approximate 9 percent of
sales tax revenue shouldnt be
wagging the dog of 91 percent of
revenue 9 percent is not that
significant.
This was the fifth year for this
attempt, but Feinstein noted that
the reasons it had been voted
down before are no longer there.
We tax sales tax on baby
food and formula, Feinstein said,
but not for pigs and horses
thats wrong.
Rep. Ray Ring, D-Vermillion,
and a retired college economics
professor, backed up Feinsteins
argument, noting, 64,000 are in
the bottom 20 percent of income.
Through calculations, he noted
that these families should pay 30
percent of their food bill, with the
other 70 percent covered by food
stamps. In actual expense, he
said, about half of their food ex-
pense is covered by food stamps
and the other half they would pay
the tax.
Feinstein said for a family of
three, with a net income of $1,591
per month, or grossing $24,000
per year, they would receive only
$86 in food stamps.
That is a lot less than the av-
erage of $312 per month that is
touted in discussions, Feinstein
said.
We have an immoral tax sys-
tem, commented Rep. Bernie
Hunhoff, D-Yankton, adding in
South Dakota we have the poor-
est of the poor, yet they are taxed
for food.
The bill was resisted by the
state Department of Revenue,
and the Bureau of Finance and
Management. Officials said the
states broad tax base allows
many to pay a little without plac-
ing a large burden on anyone.
Those states without sales tax on
food, it was noted, generally have
another source of money, such as
Alaska with its oil production.
Despite the passionate support
of Democrats, their four votes
were the only ones cast to pass
the bill, while 10 voted to kill it.
It also was sent to the 41st day,
an action meant to keep it from
being brought up again during
this session.
Removal of sales tax on food
By Elizabeth Sam Grosz, Community News Service
We had some great weather
again last week. We had fog
Thursday morning, and it moved
back in again Thursday night and
was still here Friday morning.
But Saturday was an entirely dif-
ferent story...a big blizzard was
forcasted to hit Saturday evening,
but all we got was the wind which
continued all day Sunday. Accord-
ing to KOTA, Faith had 50 mph
winds. We didnt get any snow, al-
though they did in the Hills and
East River and the eastern US.
They really got hit!
Somewhere along the way I
missed expressing condolences to
the family of Lawrence Collins a
few weeks ago. Lawrence was al-
ways a tinkerer and spent many
hours on the Community Legion
Hall renovation for the Commu-
nity Action Team.
Condolences to the family of
Albert Junior Steen. Junior
passed away at the ranch over the
weekend. He was a quiet man
who raised a nice family.
Our condolences also to the
family of Don Hight who passed
away over the weekend. He was
Cheryl Vigs father. He was well
known in the rodeo circle. These
three men will all be missed by
family and friends.
Several members of the Prairie
Strippers Quilt Guild from Faith
joined the Dupree members for a
retreat at the Moreau River Sanc-
tuary near Isabel over the week-
end. Among those ladies from
Faith were Eldora Fischbach,
Rita Duck, Mona Thomas, Gloria
Traversie and LuAnne Jordan.
They had a great time working on
projects, enjoying all the goodies
they took along to share, and of
course, visiting.
The Girls West River Tourna-
ment was held last week. The
Ladies defeated Rapid City Chris-
tian Thursday night in their first
game. Friday night had them fac-
ing Newell and unfortunately the
Lady Horns came up short, pit-
ting them against Upton for the
third place win. Congratulations
to Shanna Selby and Marissa
Collins for being named to the All
Tournament Team!
Faith will be hosting the Girls
District Tournament next week.
The tournament begins Monday
night at 6:00, continues Tuesday,
with the championship game on
Thursday at 7:00 pm.
The Longhorns hosted
Tiospaye Topa last Thursday
night. They travel to McIntosh
this Friday night and will host
Philip this Saturday, which will
also be Parents Night.
The jr. high boys participated
in the Knights of Columbus Tour-
nament in Dupree over the week-
end. I didnt hear how they did.
They will be participating in a
tournament in Newell this Satur-
day.
School students will have early
dismissal this Thursday, 1:00, for
Parent/Teacher Conferences.

The operational plan for the
new delivery schedule anticipates
a combination of employee reas-
signment and attrition and is ex-
pected to achieve cost savings of
approximately $2 billion annually
when fully implemented.
The Postal Service is currently
implementing major restructur-

and mail processing operations.
Since 2006, the Postal Service has
reduced its annual cost base by
approximately $15 billion, re-
duced the size of its career work-
force by 193,000 or 28 percent,
and has consolidated more than
200 mail processing locations.
During these unprecedented ini-

ery schedule announced today is

cation in South Dakota last Sep-
tember.
Born to Explore is an educa-
tional program that takes viewers
around the world to join in the ad-
venture with host Richard Wiese.
The show offers an educational
approach to the earth's wildlife
and its unique cultures, from
Australia to Iceland to Morocco to
Uganda.
"As an explorer, I have trav-
eled around the world to share
the beauty, wildlife and cultures
of each continent, said Richard
Wiese. At Custer State Park, we
experienced the thrill of the buf-
falo roundup and got a taste of
the American West and its thriv-
ing cowboy culture. The hospital-
ity of South Dakotans and the
magnificence of Custer State
Park made for a most memorable
adventure.
Wiese continued, "To see over
1,000 head of buffalo being driven
across the rolling prairies by cow-
boys and cowgirls on horseback is
a sight all should experience at
least once in their lifetime."
"Custer State Park is the only
place in America where the pubic
is invited to witness an event like
our buffalo roundup, which un-
folds in front of them, said Craig
Pugsley, visitor services coordina-
tor at Custer State Park. Last
September, about 14,000 guests
from all over the world came to
experience this world-class
event.
The 2013 Buffalo Roundup will
be held on Friday, Sept. 27. For
more information on this years
event, contact Custer State Park
at 605-255-4515 or visit
www.custerstatepark.com
"The Buffalo Roundup and
Arts Festival are great events
that bring visitors to South
Dakota during the all important
shoulder season, which helps
build our tourism industry and
South Dakota's economy," said
Jim Hagen, secretary of the
South Dakota Department of
Tourism. Programs like Born to
Explore with Richard Wiese,
which air on major TV networks,
showcase South Dakota and en-
courage more visitors to make
South Dakota their vacation des-
tination.

is urgently needed to address
matters outside the Postal Ser-

continues to seek legislation to
provide it with greater flexibility
to control costs and generate new
