Results of the 2015 SouthDakota Cropping Systems Inven-tory were released Dec. 1 inPierre.

Jeff Zimprich, head of theUnited States Department Associ-ation Natural Resources Conser-vation Service (NRCS) for SouthDakota, presented the 2015 find-ings during his presentation atthe joint annual conventions ofthe Agriculture Horizons andSouth Dakota Association of Con-servation Districts.

The new NRCS South Dakota

NRCS cropping systems inventoryreport is a statistical snapshot intime for types of cropping systemsfarmers are using across the state.This data is not available fromother sources. Announced werechanges and trends for county-level data and statewide use ofcropping systems, nearly one-third of South Dakota countieshave seen significant changes, and30-year trends for conventionaltillage and no-till systems areshown.

These cropping systems make adifference in production, water

quality, and how soil holds water– infiltrating it versus allowing itto runoff. These benefits are alsoimportant for South Dakota’s agri-culture industry. Consumers knowthat healthy natural resources areimportant and consumers alsowant to know that the food theyeat is grown sustainably. Thesetrends in conservation practiceslean toward more sustainablefarming and this is good news forSouth Dakotans.

Attorney General Marty Jack-ley is warning South Dakota con-sumers about a scam that contin-ues to resurface in South Dakotathat targets computer users. TheAttorney General’s Consumer Pro-tection Division has received mul-tiple reports of consumers receiv-ing phone calls from someoneclaiming to be from the supportcenter of Microsoft Windowswanting to gain access to the con-sumer’s computer in order tomake repairs.

The call begins with the scam-mer telling the consumer thattheir computer has an urgentproblem or virus that must befixed immediately. The caller says“Microsoft” can connect to thecomputer remotely and repair itfor the customer. Once the scam-mer is connected to the computer,they either obtain the consumer’sfinancial information through afraudulent “pay” website or installmalicious software that combs thecomputer for personal informa-tion, such as usernames, pass-words, bank and credit card num-bers, tax documents and more.

Microsoft has issued warnings

Attorney General warns of

windows technical support scam

on its website about this scam,saying neither the company norany of its partners make unso-licited calls to computer users.

•Here are a few tips to avoidbeing victim in this repair scam: Obtain as much information aboutthe caller as you possibly can.Note their name, phone number, time they called and what wassaid.

•Never give remote access toyour computer to any unsolicitedcaller for any reason.

•If you have caller ID and re-ceive a call from a number youdon’t recognize, don’t answer the phone.

•If you do answer one of thesecalls and have concerns aboutyour computer’s security features, call the manufacturer or take it toa reputable retailer or repair shopto be examined for viruses, malicious software, or corruptedfiles.

If you are a victim of allowing“Microsoft support” access to yourcomputer, please call the Attorney General’s Consumer ProtectionDivision at 800-300-1986.

Driving In Winter WeatherThere’s nothing like the first

snowfall of the year. When I wasyoung, a heavy storm meant noschool, and my sisters and Iwould play cards with Dad, afterwe did the farm chores.

Snow is nice until you have todrive in it. Though SouthDakotans know how to handlesnow and cold weather, we stillneed to prepare ourselves for thehazardous driving conditions win-ter brings.

Driving in winter weather is aserious matter. Every year duringthe holiday season, the HighwayPatrol sees a spike in traffic acci-dents and fatalities. Around theThanksgiving holiday this year,10 people lost their lives in carcrashes and several others wereseverely injured.

If you will be traveling for

Christmas or New Year’s, prepareyourself. Before you travel, go toSafeTravelUSA.com/SD, call 511or download the SDDOT 511 appto check road conditions. Pack aflashlight, blankets, drinkingwater and a shovel. Make sureyour car is ready for the trip bychecking your tires and scrapingoff the ice from all of your win-dows.

When you’re driving, take itslow and allow yourself extratime to reach your destination.It’s usually a good idea to leavecruise control off. Conditions canchange quickly in the winter andyou need to be ready.

Don’t crowd the plow. Depart-ment of Transportation crewswork long hours in the worst con-ditions, and they do their best tokeep our highways clear of iceand snow. When you approach a

snow plow, leave at least four carlengths between you and the backof the plow. Never pass a plow onthe right. This is the directionplows push the snow.

No matter what season it is, al-ways wear your seatbelt andmake sure everyone in your vehi-cle is buckled up. Nearly two-thirds of those who died in carcrashes in South Dakota in thelast year were not wearing theirseatbelts. Whether you are trav-eling across the state or just driv-ing a few blocks, buckling upcould save your life.

Traveling to spend Christmaswith loved ones is well worth it.To keep the holidays from turningtragic, do all that is within yourpower to arrive safely at your des-tination. Be safe and have a greatholiday season.

Also for grownups, the libraryjust received Glenn Beck’s fic-tional retelling of the story ofSanta, The Immortal Nicholas.The book’s origins go back to thetime when the author’s childrenwere young, and he crafted a talethat would redirect their atten-tion from gifts and elves back tothe manger. The new book ex-pands that story, and retells it foradults, transforming Santa froma shopper’s icon to an immortalbeing with a Christ-centered mis-sion.

The Fight to Repeal Obamacare

Before it became law, Republi-cans in Congress warned of thedamage the so-called AffordableCare Act would cause and the bur-dens the American people wouldface as a result. Five and a halfyears later, Obamacare – as it be-came known – has chipped awayat family budgets, squeezed smallbusiness growth, and led to fewerchoices for patients and their doc-tors. Obamacare has brokennearly every promise its Democratauthors made to the Americanpeople, including the oft-repeatedpromise that if you liked your doc-tor and health care plan you couldkeep them, ‘period.’

Obamacare is broken – it al-ways has been – which is why Re-publicans who campaigned for theSenate majority in 2014 promisedvoters that if they gave us thechance, we would send an Oba-macare repeal bill to PresidentObama. Despite fierce oppositionfrom Democrats and the presi-dent, Senate Republicans havenow made good on that promise.

Now that the Senate has passeda repeal bill, the ball will soon bein the president’s court. He can ei-ther support this measure andhelp lift the burdens Obamacarehas placed on the American peo-ple, or he can double down on hisfailed policies. If the presidentchooses the latter, it will be clearto the American people that theonly thing standing in the way ofan Obamacare repeal bill beingsigned into law is the current oc-cupant of the White House.

The evidence to suggest repeal-ing this fundamentally flawed lawis necessary couldn’t be anyclearer. Obamacare was supposedto lower health care premiums. Itdidn’t. It was supposed to reducehealth care costs. It didn’t do thateither. And it was supposed to pro-tect the health care plans Ameri-cans wanted to keep, which could-n’t be further from the reality.Obamacare was sold to the Amer-ican people as a health care solu-tion, but it’s turned out to be yet

another health care problem.Since Obamacare was signed

into law in 2010, I’ve heard fromcountless South Dakotans whohave shared with me their per-sonal stories about how this bur-densome law is affecting theirfamilies. One person recentlywrote to tell me that her and herhusband’s health care plan isgoing up by more than $8,000 nextyear. That’s a staggering amountof money. What family can affordsuch a significant increase in ex-penses from one year to the next?Sadly, that’s only one of many sto-ries I’ve heard, and these storiesaren’t unique to South Dakota.

It’s time to move away from thepresident’s broken health care lawand toward the kind of health carereform Americans are actuallylooking for: an affordable, account-able, patient-focused system thatgives individuals control of theirhealth care decisions. It’s what theAmerican people want, and it’swhat they deserve.

John ThuneU.S. Senator from South Dakota

Fueled By South DakotaIt might surprise many of us,

but there are a lot of people out inD.C. who don’t seem to know thedifference between South Dakotaand North Dakota. I know mycounterpart in North Dakotaoften gets the question: “Is thatthe state with Mount Rushmore?”No, that’s South Dakota. For me,the question is: “Are you the statewith all of that oil?” No, that’sNorth Dakota, but while NorthDakota has all that oil, SouthDakota’s corn and soybean pro-duction plays its own role inAmerica’s energy security.

Every year, South Dakota har-vests more than 400 millionbushels of corn and 100 millionbushels of soybeans. These com-modities provide a pathway to-ward North American energy in-dependence that can help boostour economy and our national se-curity.

Today, about one-third of thepetroleum used in the UnitedStates is imported from foreigncountries, according to the U.S.Department of Energy. Most ofthis petroleum is refined into gasor diesel. Especially with con-flicts arising in energy-rich areas

of our world, the need to decreaseour reliance on foreign fuelsgrows every single day. Now isthe time to double down on do-mestic energy production, but un-fortunately, the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) is look-ing to let off the gas.

In early 2014, the EPA pro-posed new Renewable Fuel Stan-dard (RFS) volumes. These vol-ume requirements, which impactcorn-based ethanol and biodieselalike, tell refineries how manygallons of renewable fuels shouldbe blended into our overall sup-ply. This gives both farmers andconsumers more certainty andgreater price stability.

The EPA’s initial proposal wasvery disappointing, as the agencymoved to significantly roll backour commitment to ethanol andbiodiesel. Not only could thiscurb production, but the movewould send the wrong message toinvestors, risk jobs, and threatenthe creation of more developedbiofuels.

I, along with a bipartisan groupof 30 lawmakers, reached out tothe EPA shortly after their an-nouncement. It was importantthat they reverse course.

When the final numbers wereannounced in late November, theRFS remained beneath the levelsI believe are appropriate.Nonetheless, the EPA did adjustthe requirements at least slightlyhigher because of the pressure weput on them.

Especially at a time when theMiddle East remains so volatile,our commitment to homegrownrenewable fuels should not be indoubt. While the EPA is backingdown, I am not. In recent weeks,I introduced an extension of thebiodiesel tax credit. This legisla-tion would ensure that domesti-cally produced biodiesel wasgiven a $1-per-gallon tax creditthrough the end of 2016. The leg-islation has bipartisan supportand I’m hopeful it can be wrappedinto an end-of-the-year tax exten-ders package.

My number one responsibilityis to keep the American peoplesafe – protecting economic oppor-tunities comes in at a close sec-ond. By throwing our support be-hind homegrown fuels ratherthan foreign oil, we are accom-plishing both and creating a na-tion that is fueled by SouthDakota in the process.

Kristi NoemRepresentative from South Dakota

Repeal and Replace Obamacare

The American people deserve ahealthcare system that works forthem, not against them. One thatis truly affordable for all families,offers viable health insurance op-tions and strengthens patient-provider relationships. Unfortu-nately, the Affordable Care Act(ACA), or Obamacare, fails on allthese fronts. Instead, the ACA hasbrought about more government,more bureaucracy and more rulesand regulations that have re-sulted in soaring health care costsand less access to care for familiesacross the country.

I, along with many of my Sen-ate colleagues, promised to repealand replace Obamacare, and re-cently we had the opportunity tofollow through on that promise.On December 3rd, we passed abill to repeal significant portionsof the Affordable Care Act.

My office has received phonecalls and letters from hundreds ofSouth Dakotans telling me howunaffordable the so-called Afford-able Care Act really is for them.Premiums for certain plans inSouth Dakota have increased bynearly 50 percent under the ACA,forcing some families to choose

between paying outrageous ratesand forgoing health insurance alltogether just so they can afford topay their mortgage and put foodon the table. This is unacceptable.

According to the non-partisanCongressional Budget Office, thehealthcare law will cost Americantaxpayers more than $116 billiona year. In fact, on average, everyhousehold in the United Statescan expect more than $20,000 innew taxes over the next 10 years.This is a heavy burden to place onthe already over-taxed, over-reg-ulated American people.

Repealing the Affordable CareAct is only the first step in a longjourney towards a better health-care system. Congress must worktogether to create a replacementplan that puts the patient first.We also need a partner in theWhite House who understandsthat significant changes must bemade in order to repair our bro-ken healthcare system.

Any replacement plan must bemarket-based and patient-cen-tered in order to be truly afford-able for families. This can beachieved by enacting transparent,step-by-step reforms. I supportcommon-sense initiatives, like ex-panding Health Savings Accounts

and creating pools, such as theMultiple Employers WelfareTrust, in which small businessescan unite to secure better rates.The worst parts of Obamacare,such as the employer mandate,individual mandate and the Inde-pendent Payment AdvisoryBoard, have no place in any fu-ture health care plan.

We can cut costs by reformingmedical liability laws as well. Ourcurrent system encourages frivo-lous lawsuits which come at ahigh cost to doctors, taxpayersand truly injured patients whodeserve timely compensation.Lastly, we must hold insurancecompanies more accountable byincreasing transparency, stan-dardizing paperwork and helpingthose with pre-existing conditionsmaintain access to care.

Allowing healthy competitionwithin the private insurance mar-ket would allow families to choosethe healthcare plan that best fitstheir needs and budget. I will con-tinue to advocate for these re-sponsible and effective solutionsas we move forward with a re-placement plan. The AffordableCare Act greatly expanded thegovernment’s role in health care,and it very clearly did not work.This is the message the Americanpeople are sending and this is themessage Congress sent by pass-ing legislation to repeal Oba-macare.

Pomegranates: Benefits and Uses

Pomegranates have beenaround since ancient times,though many individuals have yetto try one. They are commonlygrown in the Middle East and theMediterranean, but the exact ori-gin of the pomegranate is notknown. Pomegranates were intro-duced to California in 1769. Thename Pomegranate means “applewith many seeds” in Latin.

Give pomegranates a try as amethod for increasing your fruitconsumption. The USDA’s My-Plate food guidance system recom-mends that people fill half theirplate with fruits and vegetables.

The pomegranate seeds, alsoknown as arils, and the red seedpulp surrounding the seeds, arethe edible parts of the fruit. Gen-erally, the fruit is the size of alarge orange. A half-cup of pome-granate seeds has 72 calories, 1fat gram, and 16 grams carbohy-drates. Pomegranate seeds are agreat source of fiber and the juicecontains vitamin C and potas-sium. According to research, con-sumption of pomegranate juice asan antioxidant has been found toreduce the risk of cancer andheart disease.

When purchasing pomegran-ates in the grocery store, choosethe heavier ones; they will be thejuiciest. Ripe pomegranates havea soft outer skin and the sides willlook flattened. Select pomegran-ates that don’t have any cracks.

Whole pomegranates can bestored at room temperature for aweek or refrigerated for up to 2

months. Refrigerate fresh seedsor juice for up to 5 days. One largepomegranate makes one-fourth toone-half cup of juice. Pomegranatejuice can be frozen. To freeze, fillcontainers leaving 1/2-inch head-space for expansion, label withdate and use within one year.Freeze the seeds by spreading athin layer on a cookie sheet.Quick freeze for up to 2 hours,then transfer to freezer bags orcontainers and return pomegran-ate seeds to the freezer.

Simple steps for making it easyto eat fresh pomegranates: Cutfruit a half-inch down from the topof the crown. Pomegranate seedswill be divided by four to six sec-tions of white membranes. Use asharp knife to score the leatheryskin along each section. Turn thegrouping of seeds face down in alarge deep bowl to keep juice fromsplattering and gently pull. Theseeds will easily pull out. Anothermethod (after cutting below thecrown of the fruit), loosen and pullthe seed sections out in a bowl ofwater; the seeds sink and theinedible pulp floats.

Try the following ideas for eat-ing pomegranates. Sprinkle seedson desserts, salads and soups. Eatthe seeds plain or with yogurt asa snack. The juice can be used formaking smoothies, marinades,dips, sauces, jellies, puddings anddesserts. For additional ideas forusing pomegranates refer to thepublication “Pomegranate Fruit

State enters into Obligation Recovery Center contract to collect debts

requires no upfront financial in-vestment and it will help SouthDakotans who are owed court-mandated restitution.”

The establishment of the Obli-gation Recovery Center was ap-proved through the passage of HB1228 during the 2015 LegislativeSession. The center will collectdebts such as unpaid taxes, uni-versity tuition or fees, and courtcosts owed by criminal defen-dants.

The state awarded the contractto CGI Technologies and Solu-tions, Inc.

The WHS Class of 1954 pickedthe Drug Store, Wall, for theirmonthly luncheon on December3rd. Five of the original classwere in attendance plus somespouses and friends, a dozen inall.

Sydne Lenox of Kadoka, hasspent some time in the Rapid CityRegional Hospital. Seems shepassed out at home and wastaken by ambulance. It is a respi-ratory problem. They thought lastweek she may move to a nursinghome but she is still in the hospi-tal. Sydne used to live in Wall andnever fails to stop on her way toRapid City to have a doughnutand coffee at Wall Drug. We sendher our “get well” messages. Craig Hammerstrom, who ishere from Utah visiting his momMabel, joined Gale and Karol Pat-terson to watch Seth Pattersonand Brady Pinney play hockeythis week in Rapid City. Loretta White went to Fred andDoris Eisenbraun’s home on Sun-day and enjoyed lunch whilethere. The Senior Citizen Group(YAH) had their Christmas Partyon Monday. We signed Christmascards to be sent to “shut-ins”.Some Christmas songs were sungwith Carol Hahn at the piano.Gifts were exchanged. There was

a table loaded with goodies but(with only nine in attendance) wedid not make much of a “dent” inall of it. We have more membersbut they must have had other en-gagements. Just a reminder that theHaakon County Crooners willhave a concert at the Wall Com-munity Center again this year.The churches in Wall are spon-sors of this event to take place onDecember 20th at 6:30 p.m. Afterthe performance, there will besnacks. There is no charge for lis-tening to their great voices orjoining everyone in a greatevening. Lyle Williams is still in theGood Samaritan Home in NewUnderwood. He says he is gettingbetter but after having a pneumo-nia shot, he has had a hard timebreathing. Hope you are bettersoon, Lyle. I should report that my grand-daughter, Michelle Lamphere,who has been “vacationing” in alot of countries in three conti-nents since June, 2013, is nowsettled in Rapid City. She becamea member of the working classagain, as of December 1st, with aposition as manager of theRamkota Hotel. Good luck to her! We ended up with five to sixinches of snow last week. When Ihad written the news on Monday,we only had an inch or so. Withthe warmer temperatures, it hasbeen melting but there is stillquite a bit of snow where thedrifts were. This week has prom-ises of some more warm tempera-tures but cooling for next week-end. There may be some moistureon Friday. Pray not for lighter burdens butfor stronger backs.

First things first: Congratulations to Wasta kidswho achieved the recognition ofearning the right to be named onthe Wall School Honor Roll —first quarter: Fourth grade: Kaylen SpottedBear, son of Anne Jo and Beau;Mason Crawford, son of Tracieand Justin. Fifth grade: DeytenSkillingstad, son of Dorreen andKyle; Sheridan Deering, daughterof Stefanie and Joel. Sixth grade: Conner Crawford,son of Tracie and Justin; Saman-tha Rancour, daughter of Robertaand Tom. Eighth grade: Ash Grenstiner,daughter of Moni and Travis. Tenth grade: Madisen Gren-stiner, daughter of Moni andTravis. Twelfth grade: Autumn Deer-ing, daughter of Stefanie andJoel. Christmas lights and outdoordecorating for the season bringsto mind Tub Rath and his decorat-ing theme for the holidays whichcould be described as an extrava-ganza! We neighbors watched for dim-ming in our home lighting withall the power used at Tub’s house! When the Jeppesens moved in,it seemed that an unwritten con-test began at the north end oftown between the two neighborswhich was great fun for all! And, who remembers the “StarOver Wasta”? With partners inthat experience with Bud Jeppe-sen being Bab Bathel and LloydWilley. That was just good fun!And, looked wonderful! Ken Skillingstad with helpfrom Danene and grandgirls,Harmony and Honor, were able toput in a good days work and is

happy “Holiday” ready as well asLloyd Willey with his favorite col-lector type lights. Donkey Basketball was thegame of choice for many Saturdaynight in the Wall School gym. Now that is a whole lot of silli-ness! Grandson Skyler Pattersonjoined us as we, along with otherWasta folks, laughed till we hurt.Dorreen and Deyten Skillingstad;Joel Deering and family,Cheyenne McGriff, Autumn,John, Sheridan, Kandi Mc-Murtrey, Karen Soderquist andDavid Harstad; Annie Lytle andNorman Current were those wespotted and hope there were other“Wastans” having a good timewatching donkeys being donkeysand humans being, well, humanswith the final score, Juniors theChamps, but in reality, it was“Donkeys” 156, humans 12! (Orpick your score). It was certainlytime well spent — we were stilllaughing the next day recallingthis antic or that! Madi, Ash and pal Val gatheredat the community hall to deco-rate. Madi and Ash are well prac-ticed as they have been doing thissince they were little girls andcouldn’t reach much higher thanthe second level of the tree! Nowthey do it all and help me withthose “too high” spaces needing aholiday touch! It is ready for December 13, aSunday at 5:00 p.m. for ourChristmas potluck supper. Hey, Freddie, sweet potatocasserole is on the menu again. Thursday, the 10th, DorothyShearer’s annual ChristmasPiano Party will be at theMethodist Church at 4:00 p.m.and going till 6:00 p.m. It is fun tosee and hear these kids, those be-

ginning and those more ad-vanced. Travis, Moni, Ash, Madi andDaren, the “B” Street Grenstinershave a great display going attheir home with a “Noel” as cen-ter piece. Over on Buena Street,Tammy Green has a creche whichdoes remind us of the reason forthe season. Walking to the southpoint, we see Dan and Diana Tur-geon who sort of sets the welcometo Wasta and happy Christmasmood, and Faye Bryan adds hertouch with lights outside and in. Speaking of Faye Bryan, friendKathy McNaab was in the neigh-borhood and dropped by for ashort visit. We miss Kathy andStanley! On the day of this writing, werecall “Pearl Habor Day”, the“date which will live in infamy”said President Roosevelt. Thiscountry saw posters of “Rosie theRiveter, We can Do It” knew ra-tioning, huge numbers of “ourboys” being sent to war and thatfight in “the good war” and “U.S.citizens bucked up and carriedon” at home and overseas. (LIFEmagazine quotes from book “OurFinest Hour” published 2000,TIME INC.) I’m grateful to that greatestgeneration and thankful for ourcountry. However many days there areuntil Christmas, I doubt I’ll beready. But guess what? Yes,Christmas will come whether ornot we’re ready and it will beblessed and just the way it’s sup-posed to be! Remember: Merry, MerryChristmas and all the days be-tween now and then — Christmasblessings are everywhere if welearn to see! Happy Trails!

MeDIcaRe MakeS ITeaSIeR FOR DOcTORS TO

OFFeR enD-OF-LIFecOUnSeLIng

What a difference six yearsmakes!

In 2009 at the height of the de-bate on the Affordable Care Act,New York’s former lieutenant gov-ernment Betsy McCaughey ap-peared on television and made thisstartling remark: “Congress wouldmake it mandatory-absolutely re-quire-that every five years peoplein Medicare have a required coun-seling session that will tell themhow to end their life sooner.”

McCaughey said the proposedlaw would help the elderly learnhow to “decline nutrition, how todecline being hydrated, how to goin to hospice care…all to do what’sin society’s best interest or in yourfamily’s best interest and cut yourlife short.”

Her remarks, though false,played well in the media. FormerGOP vice presidential candidateSarah Palin showed up on TV totalk about “death panels” that sheand others claimed would rationcare at the end of life.

“No death panels” became a ral-lying cry for opposition to thehealth law. A man I interviewed ata Pennsylvania Wal-Mart thatsummer brought up the so-calleddeath panels. “If people are goingto die, he [Obama] is going to putthem to sleep,” he told me. “It’s likeSoylent Green (a 1973 science fic-tion movie). That’s his health

plan.”Another man I met outside a

church in Scranton told me, “I amagainst a panel of doctors tellingyou when you can live and die.”When I explained that wasn’t whatthe law would do, he said he didn’tbelieve me.

If the death panel hysteriataught us anything, it’s that falsebeliefs die hard. Polls from theKaiser Family Foundation con-ducted from 2010 through 2014 re-peatedly found that 30 to 40 per-cent of respondents mistakenly be-lieved that the health law estab-lished a government panel to makeend-of-life decisions for Medicarebeneficiaries.

In the wake of the political stormthat followed the death panel hys-teria, Congress dropped provisionsin the ACA that would have paiddoctors to counsel their patientsabout end-of-life treatment. LaterMedicare tried to add such consul-tations to a package of proposedregulations but again scrapped theidea because as Oregon Rep. EarlBlumenauer, who championed theprovision, told the New YorkTimes, “The administration gotcold feet and yanked it.”

But “the times they are achangin’.” With hardly a peep ofopposition Medicare announced inOctober that beginning next yearit will pay healthcare profession-als, including nurse practitioners,for discussing end-of-life decisionswith their patients. In fact,Medicare said a large majority of

the public comments on the pro-posal agreed the time has come forsuch consultations.

A new Kaiser poll found thatabout 89 percent of adults say doc-tors should discuss end-of-life careissues with their patients and 81percent reported said they believedMedicare should cover those dis-cussions. “Almost universally, peo-ple say doctors should be talking totheir patients about this,” LisaHamel, who directs Kaiser’s publicopinion research, told the Times.But when Kaiser asked people ifthey had had these discussionsonly 17 percent said yes. Half ofthose who had not had such con-versations said they wanted one.

Americans are just not comfort-able discussing death and care atthe end of life. Medicare paymentsmight just be the spark needed tomake such conversations morelikely. Doctors and other health-care professionals will be able tobill Medicare $86 for the first halfhour conversation in a doctor’s of-fice and $75 for an additional 30minutes. And if a doctor needs totalk later on about the subject,Medicare will pay again.

No one, however, should thinkthose relatively small paymentswill instantly make it easier forseniors to have their wishes car-ried out. Even if they do what thedoctor advises and set up powers ofattorney, make advance directives,and fill out other documents thatspecify what kind of care theywant or don’t want if they becomeincapacitated, the decision couldbe taken from them.

Families often complain thattreatment decisions are still madeby hospitals and doctors and thateven when patients and their fam-ilies say they don’t want extraordi-nary measures, it’s hard to buckthe ingrained culture of medicalprofessionals trained to do every-thing possible.

Still, we’ve moved way beyondwhere we were in that summer of2009, and people preparing for theconsultations with their physiciansmight want to consider the follow-ing:

•Keep your wishes up to date inlegal documents.

•Have end-of-life discussionswith your family before an illnessstrikes.

•Make sure the person withyour power of attorney knowswhat he or she is supposed to do.

AAA South Dakota congratu-lates the United States Congressfor passing a multi-year highwayfunding bill Thursday and send-ing it on to the president for hissignature.

“This landmark legislation willfund transportation programsthrough September of 2020, pro-viding $281 billion in critically-needed money to the states, in-cluding increased funding forSouth Dakota,” said MarilynBuskohl, spokeswoman for AAASouth Dakota.

The bill specifically dedicatesmoney for safety projects, high-way freight corridors, and high-ways and bridges. It also cuts redtape by expediting permitting pro-cedures and reducing delays thatoften stand in the way of gettingprojects off the ground.

AAA Salutes Congress for Passage of Landmark Highway Funding BillThe U.S. House of Representa-

tives passed the bill Thursday bya vote of 359 to 65. All of SouthDakota’s representatives voted forit. Earlier, the U.S. Senate passedthe bill on a vote of 83 to 16.

“AAA’s staff in Washington,D.C. as well as our government re-lations folks in South Dakotaworked hard on this bill,” saidBuskohl. “Having the assurance oflong-term transportation fundingis crucial for the South Dakota De-partment of Transportation to ag-gressively move forward in mak-ing solid plans to improve thestate’s highways and bridges. Notonly is commerce and economicdevelopment at stake, but moreimportantly, the safety of allSouth Dakotans who use our high-ways.”

The five-year so-called FAST

Act (Fixing America's SurfaceTransportation) will provide $281billion in contract authority forsurface transportation, including$225 billion dedicated to highways

and bridges. The president is ex-pected to sign the bill shortly.

AAA is North America’s largestmotoring, leisure travel and safetyadvocacy organization with nearly

56 million members. A not-for-profit, fully tax-paying auto club,AAA South Dakota serves its94,105 members with emergencyroadside assistance, auto travel

counseling and a wide range ofpersonal insurance, worldwidetravel and financial services atbranch offices across SouthDakota and online at AAA.com.

Less than a year after FirstLady Linda Daugaard issued achallenge to hospitals throughoutthe state, all 24 birthing hospitalsin South Dakota have pledged tohelp reduce early elective deliver-ies.

“I’m thrilled that all of thebirthing hospitals in the statehave signed on to the pledge tohelp reduce early elective deliver-ies,” said First Lady Linda Dau-gaard. “The last few weeks ofpregnancy are so important tobaby’s development – major or-gans like the brain, lungs andliver are still growing, the eyesand ears are still developing, andthe baby is learning to suck andswallow.”

Early elective deliveries are de-liveries performed before 39weeks of pregnancy for non-med-ical reasons. EEDs can posehealth risks to both mothers andbabies. The American College ofObstetricians and Gynecologistsrecommends against inducedlabor or cesarean sections before39 weeks of pregnancy unlessthere is a medical necessity.

Earlier this year first lady Dau-gaard and North Dakota FirstLady Betsy Dalrymple challengedbirthing hospitals in the twostates to sign a pledge to reducenon-essential early deliveries.

Daugaard said 2014 data fromthe National Center for HealthStatistics indicates that the Dako-tas are making progress in reduc-ing EEDs. According to the report,South Dakota and North Dakotawere among only five states to re-duce induction rates at 38 weeksof pregnancy by 30 percent ormore.South Dakota’sbirthing hospitals

The South Dakota Departmentof Transportation reminds thepublic and commercial snow re-moval operators that it is illegal toplace or dump excess snow onhighway right of way, which in-cludes driving surfaces, shouldersand ditches.

“The recent snowstorm acrossSouth Dakota has deposited alarge amount of snow already thisyear and we are seeing an in-crease in violators,” said Rod Gall,Yankton area engineer. ”The spacewithin the right of way needs to bereserved for future snow that mayfall on the road. If the depart-ment’s plow operators do not have

Illegally dumped snow causing problemsa place to put that snow, it se-verely hampers their ability toclear roadways.”

Violation of the anti-dumpinglaw is a Class 1 misdemeanor,with a penalty of up to one year injail, $2,000 in fines, or both. It isthe policy of the SDDOT to removesnow that has been illegally piledwithin the highway right of waythat may be a safety hazard. Inaddition, violators will be billedfor the costs of removing illegallydumped snow.

“Piling snow in the state high-way right of way can also be verydangerous,” says Gall. “Snow pilescan restrict sight distance, as well

as present an extreme hazard if avehicle leaves the roadway. Snowpiles that remain adjacent to theroad may cause additional driftingand visibility problems posingmore safety hazards to travelers,as well as additional expenses formanpower and equipment to re-move the illegally dumped snow.”

Property owners and accessusers are reminded it is their re-

sponsibility to remove snow fromthe ends of driveways and aroundtheir own mailboxes.

The department asks landown-ers and commercial snow-removaloperators to keep excess snow onprivate property or haul it to legaldumping sites.
