6over60 is a group of six lifelong
friends over the age of 60 who
made a plan to travel coast to
coast on bicycles, riding for one
cause: The Wounded Warrior Proj-
ect.
The team was one member
short when it came time to leave,
as team member Darryl Miller
sustained an injury while training
for the big trip.
Upon arriving in Murdo, the
group along with support vehicle
driver Dave Arnesen set up camp
in the AmericInn campground
before having dinner at the Rusty
Spur.
When asked about the training
process for such a long ride, one of
the riders commented, there is no
training for this.
During the planning process of
this bucket list trip, the group
decided they needed something to
ride for. The Wounded Warrior
Project is a project with a mission
to honor and empower wounded
warriors.
Rider Pat Cavanagh said,
Were a bunch of old guys who all
have connections to Vietnam. We
have a warm spot in our hearts for
vets.
The riders had an initial goal of
raising $50,000, but soon
increased that number to
$120,000. As of July 30, the group
has raised approximately $99,225.
All of the money raised will go
directly to the Wounded Warrior
Project.
All of the men are united by
their faith, their love for bicycling
and their desire to make a differ-
ence.
When asked about the difficulty
of the trip, Ed DeMar said, I
never think about anything but
todays ride. They all agreed that
they thought it would be physical-
ly harder.
They said the trip has been
inspiring. Jim Webber said the
most amazing thing about the trip
is being able to help vets and their
families. We are receiving more of
a blessing than they are, he said.

trip, and view individual profiles

J.C. student athletes
required to complete
concussion test
by Karlee Barnes
All student athletes grades 6-12
are required to participate in an
ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concus-
sion Assessment and Cognitive
Testing) test prior to the start of
the sports season.
The testing will be offered on
Wednesday, August 7 in the Jones
County Elementary computer lab.
Every student athlete grades 6-12
must call Stephanie Hespe in the
high school office at 669-2258 to
schedule a time for testing.
ImPACT is a computer-based
neurocognitive test battery that
has been scientifically validated to
measure the effects of sports-relat-
ed concussion. In the preseason,
each athlete is given a baseline
test. When a concussion is suspect-
ed during the season, a follow-up
test is administered to see if the
results have changed from the
baseline. This comparison helps to
evaluate and safely and appropri-
ately manage the concussion.
School nurse Lea Glaze will be
trained in the testing, allowing her
to administer the imPACT test
during the season and also for the
athletes who are unable to be at
the initial testing.
A concussion is a brain injury
that:
is caused by a sudden blow to
the head or body
can change the way the brain
normally works
can occur during practices or
games in any sport
can happen even if an athlete
hasnt been knocked out, and even
if they are wearing a helmet
is serious, even if athletes
have just been dinged
The symptoms of a concussion
are as follows:
headache or pressure in head
nausea or vomiting
balance problems or dizziness
double or blurry vision
bothered by light
bothered by noise
feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy or
groggy
difficulty paying attention
concentration or memory prob-
lems
confusion
do not feel right
Parents or guardians should
look for the following symptoms of
concussions in their student ath-
lete:
appears dazed or stunned
is confused about assignment
or position
forgets an instruction
moves clumsily
answers questions slowly or
with difficulty
loses consciousness (even
briefly)
shows behavior or personality
changes
cant recall events prior to hit
or fall
cant recall events after hit or
fall
Mellette County Livestock Show nears
In just a few weeks (August 21,
2013), the Mellette County Live-
stock Improvement Association
will host the 19th annual Pen of 3
Heifer Show in White River, SD.
Within the previous 18 shows,
there have been small changes,
but nothing like the changes tak-
ing place this year; and they are
expected to meet with strong sup-
port from area cattle producers.
In the past, cattle in the English
breed division, have been separat-
ed according to weights taken the
day of the show. Half of the pens
were designated Lightweight, and
the other half Heavyweight.
This year, although weights will be
taken as cattle are registered, they
will be entered in divisions accord-
ing to date of birth. This will be
done with not only the English
divisions, but also the Purebred
divisions.
The divisions, doubling from
past years, will now be as follows:
English: Early Spring
(calves born in January or Febru-
ary);
English: Mid-Spring (calves
born in March);
English: Late Spring (calves
born in April or May);
Purebred: Early Spring
(calves born in January or Febru-
ary);
Purebred: Mid-Spring
(calves born in March);
Purebred: Late Spring
(calves born in April or May).
The board of directors, in mak-
ing this change, felt that it would
encourage more consistency in the
judging process, where, for exam-
ple, calves born in April would not
be competing in the same division
as calves born in February.
There will be still three places
awarded in each of these divisions,
for a total of 18 winning pens pos-
sible.
As usual, one Overall Champion
Heifer from the Pen of 3 competi-
tions will be chosen, with the
owner receiving a Montana Silver
belt buckle. This winning calf has
been known as
the Buckle Heifer.
In an effort to encourage young
cattle producers to become
involved, an entirely new division
is being created this year, called
the Young Ranchers Heifer Calf
Division.
This division is only open to pro-
ducers under the age of 30. They
must own the calf and have their
own brand.
Each young rancher will be
allowed to enter a single heifer calf
in this division. All of these calves
will be penned together for judging
purposes. The owner of the Grand
Champion heifer calf will receive a
belt buckle, and the Reserve
Champion will be awarded a tro-
phy.
Knowing that some of these
young ranchers might be in high
school or college at the time of the
livestock show, they may have a
parent or other adult bring their
calf to the show for them, but they
will have to be able to show that
the calf belongs to the young
rancher, and not a parent or other
producer.
A division of Feeder Steer
Calves will also be included this
year, as in the past two years.
Any producer may enter one
steer calf in this competition. All
steers will be penned together for
judging, the trophies be awarded
for the Champion and Reserve
Champion Feeder Steer calf.
This livestock show, although
held in White River, SD, is open to
producers from across the area.
The date of the show this year is
Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Cat-
tle will be checked in from 8:30 -
10:30 a.m. CT, with judging begin-
ning promptly at 11 a.m.
A free beef lunch is provided to
all attendees, as well as numerous
door prizes, of which you have to
be present to win.
There is no fee to enter cattle in
this show. If you would like addi-
tional information, you may con-

man at 605-259-3688

Asleep In A Storm
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
What a disappointing scene! A terrifying storm, souls in danger of death, but Jonah, the man of God, fast asleep.
Sailors are not soon frightened in a storm, but this time the fury of the gale was so great that the ship was like to be broken and even the sailors were
driven to their knees and cried every man unto his god (Jonah 1:4,5).
Can it be that Jonah, the only man aboard who knew the true God, was sleeping? Sleeping while souls were perishing? This was the shameful truth,
and not one of us would blame the terrified captain for rudely awakening him and crying: What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God!
(Verse 6).
But let us not be too ready to condemn Jonah, for we may be more guilty than he. Surely the world today is passing through a fearful storm and souls
all about us are in peril of their lives. If they do not accept Gods way of salvation; if they do not trust in Christ, they will perish. And what are we doing
about it? Are we pleading for them in prayer? Are we doing what we can to reach them for Christ? Or are we fast asleep?
What meanest thou O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God! And when you have cried to God in behalf of your unsaved relatives, friends, and business
associates, He will send you to witness to them of Christ and His love. Not until you have talked to God about them will you be ready to talk to them about
God.
Politically, morally, spiritually, the night is dark, the storm is raging and souls are perishing, but God, who commanded the light to shine out of dark-
ness, hath shined in our hearts (IICor.4:6). We are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep as do others (IThess.5:5,6).

Recently, I attended Mission
U at Dakota Wesleyan Universi-
ty in Mitchell. There were three
studies this year at this school
and great speakers and leaders.
We got to choose two of the three
studies in which to participate. I
chose the studies on the Oppres-
sion of the Roma (Gypsy) People of
Eastern and Central Europe and
the study on Poverty. The third
study was on Living the Sacra-
mental Life.
During one evening session, we
were informed by an assistant
District Attorney about the
scourge of human trafficking in
our country and in our state.
Women, men, and children have
become victims and have been
forced into prostitution for money,
slave labor, and other terrible
acts. South Dakota is an ideal
place for human trafficking to
happen because of the distances,
the interstate highways and truck
stops along the way. We learned
that the worst times of the year
where human trafficking happens
is the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally
and pheasant hunting season.
Human Trafficking has become
even more lucrative than drug
trafficking because victims can be
used over and over and over
again. This is oppression in one of
its worst forms. The perpetrators
need to be stopped, and the vic-
tims need to be helped.
One organization intent on
stopping human trafficking is
called Truckers against Traffick-
ing. If you see something suspi-
cious, contact local law enforce-
ment and they will take it from
there.
Human trafficking is not only
an abhorrent crime, its a SIN. As
a people of God and followers of
Jesus Christ, we are called to seek
justice for the victims and prose-
cution and prison for the perpe-
trators.
We need to stop looking the
other way or putting our head in
the sand and say, Well, I just
cant believe that its happening
here. It is happening here in
South Dakota, as well as in the
rest of the country. The Bible is
very clear about what we as the
church and as individuals who are
serious followers of Jesus Christ
are called to do. Let me refresh
your memory with a few verses.
and what does the Lord
require of you but to do justice,
and to love kindness, and to walk
humbly with your God (Micah
6:8b).
You shall not wrong or oppress
a resident alien, for you were
aliens in the land of Egypt (Exo-
dus 22:21).
do not oppress the widow, the
orphan, the alien, or the poor; and
do not devise evil in your hearts
against one another (Zechariah
7:10).
Then I will draw near to you for
judgment; I will be swift to bear
witness against the sorcerers,
against the adulterers, against
those who swear falsely, against
those who oppress the hired work-
ers in their wages, the widow and
the orphan, against those who
thrust aside the alien and do not
fear me, says the Lord of hosts
(Malachi 3:5).
If you say, Im saved, and thats
all that matters, then you arent
saved. John Wesley, one of the
founders of Methodism, would ask
you So what? As serious follow-
ers (Christians and Disciples) of
the Lord Jesus Christ, what are
we then called to do, besides
seeking justice, loving kindness,
and walking humbly with God?
We are to do as Jesus did,
bring good news to the
poorproclaim release to the cap-
tivesrecovery of sight to the
blindlet the oppressed go
freeproclaim the year of the
Lords favor. Get involved! Do
something!

From the U.S. Senate
Senator John Thune
The days of summer are slowly
fading. While there is still time
before heading back to school,
many college students and their
families have been keeping a
watchful eye for news coming out
of Washington about what student
loan interest rates will look like for
the coming school year. On July 1,
2013, Federal Subsidized Stafford
Loans returned from the tempo-
rary rate of 3.4 percent to 6.8 per-
cent.
The return to higher rates was
part of legislation Congress passed
in 2007, which provided a tempo-
rary, phased-in reduction of inter-
est rates from 6.8 percent to 3.4
percent for Federal Subsidized
Stafford Loans. This reduced
interest rate was set to return to
its fixed rate of 6.8 percent after
July of 2012. However, last year,
Congress enacted a one-year
extension of the 3.4 percent rate.
That extension expired on June
30, 2013. The recent rate change
to 6.8 percent set many students
and parents on edge about the cost
of financing education.
Unfortunately, while students
were left wondering how they
would shoulder the burden of
higher interest rates, public dis-
agreement between the president
and Senate Democrats left legisla-
tion to provide relief to students at
a standstill in the Senate. Thank-
fully, the Senate was able to reach
a bipartisan agreement that will
provide a sustainable, market-
based solution that ensures access
and affordability for all students,
including students with subsidized
and unsubsidized loans. Previous
Democrat proposals ignored the
problem of high interest rates for
other types of federal education
loans and would have only
addressed interest rates for 40
percent of student loan borrowers.
This bipartisan proposal passed by
the Senate reduces interest rates
for all students.
The Senate bill would allow
rates to float with the U.S. Treas-
ury 10-year borrowing rates, plus
an add-on for costs associated with
defaults, collections, deferments,
forgiveness, and delinquency. This
allows students to benefit from the
current low interest rate environ-
ment while better protecting tax-
payers from unnecessarily subsi-
dizing lower rates, saving both
students and taxpayers billions of
dollars. The resulting interest
rates for loans taken out this year,
after July 1, 2013, would be 3.86
percent for subsidized and unsub-
sidized loans for undergraduate
students, 5.41 percent on unsubsi-
dized loans for graduate students,
and 6.41 percent on PLUS loans
for parents and graduate students.
These rates would apply retroac-
tively to newly issued loans taken
out after July 1, 2013.
The costs of attending college
can create challenging and stress-
ful situations for some families,
but providing certainty about
interest rates can help ease the
burden. I am pleased that the Sen-
ate was able to reach a bipartisan,
permanent market-based solution
that lowers interest rates for all
students.
Think back to the days of school
lunches, study guides and late
night homework.
Sure the days seemed long and
we may have been more excited
about the big game that night than
algebra, but what we all learned in
the classroom gave us the founda-
tion we needed for future educa-
tion and jobs.
Ive always believed that deci-
sions are best made at the local
level and this includes decisions
relating to our education system.
Recently, the House voted to reau-
thorize the Elementary and Sec-
ondary Education Act, commonly
referred to as No Child Left
Behind. The Student Success Act,
which I supported, will restore
local control, support effective
teachers, reduce the federal foot-
print and empower parents.
We all know that no one has a
greater stake in student success
Investing
in our kids
Keeping
interest
rates low
for students
than moms and dads who care
deeply about their childrens
future. This bill will give parents a
stronger voice and allow them to
become more hands-on in their
childs education.
Included in the Student Success
Act were bipartisan provisions I
introduced alongside Rep. Rick
Larsen (D-WA) that improve the
Impact Aid program by increasing
efficiency, eliminating subjectivity,
and providing greater flexibility to
school districts. Impact Aid helps
many South Dakota school dis-
tricts with costs resulting from
large amounts of federally impact-
ed land including military bases,
Indian lands and federal property.
We are currently operating
under outdated policies that make
it hard to get the best teachers
possible in our schools. Great
teachers have the ability to inspire
and empower our children each
day. This bill will eliminate inef-
fective federal teaching require-
ments and will instead switch the
focus to classroom results. We
should be supporting our teachers,
not pressuring educators to teach
to the test.
In South Dakota, we know and
understand that a one-size-fits-all
approach doesnt work. The needs
of our rural schools are much dif-
ferent than schools in New York
City. I believe its crucial that leg-
islation take into account the dif-
ferences between states, and thats
exactly what the Student Success
Act does.
Our children deserve the best
education we can offer. In the face
of stiff global competition for jobs
and research opportunities, we
expect a lot from our students,
teachers and administrators. But
with the proper support and
accountability, I have no doubt
that our students can and will be
successful in tackling any chal-
lenges they may encounter.
I hope youll take a moment to
send me an email through my web-
site to share your thoughts on edu-
cation reform and perhaps share a
story about one of your favorite
teachers. You can email me at

Home pressure canner gauge testing day
SDSU Extension is offering pres-
sure gauge testing for home canning
units at the SDSU Extension Winner
Regional Center on August 9. To
have the dial gauge tested on your
canner, bring your pressure canner
lid with the attached gauge to the
Winner Regional Center before or on
August 9. Dial gauges for pressure
canners should be tested every year.
The use of a dial or weighted
gauge to maintain the correct pres-
sure and temperature is needed to
safely can low acid foods. Dial
gauges indicate the pressure in the
canner, and it is up to the person
using the canner to regulate the
pressure by controlling the tempera-
ture of the burner the canner is set-
ting on. Weighted gauges indicate
and regulate the pressure. They
often jiggle several times a minute
or keep rocking gently to maintain
the correct pressure.
Over time a dial gauge may not
maintain accurate pressure. The cor-
rect pressure inside the canner cre-
ates a saturated steam chamber
reaching 240F. This temperature is
needed to destroy Clostridium botu-
linum (C. bot) spores. C. bot spores
survive and grow in a low acid,
anaerobic (no oxygen) environment.
When C. bot grows, it produces a
deadly toxin called botulism. Exam-
ples of commonly home canned low-
acid foods include meat, poultry, and
vegetables (primarily green beans
and carrots).
According to Lavonne Meyer,
SDSU Extension Food Safety Field
Specialist, It is important that the
dial gauge pressure canner you are
using is accurate. SDSU Extension
can test the accuracy for you. If you
have questions regarding your pres-
sure canner, bring in the whole can-
ner and visit with Meyer. She will
conduct the testing, and can answer
questions you may have regarding
your canner and food preservation
practices. Several different fact
sheets that include tested canning
recipes will also be made available.
Pressure Canner Testing Day in
Winner is August 9, 9:00 a.m. 3:30
p.m., SDSU Regional Center, 325 S.
Monroe Street (1 block south of the
stop light) or call 605-842-1267. If
you have questions regarding pres-
sure canner testing day, contact
Lavonne Meyer through email or
phone (Lavonne. meyer@sdstate.edu
or 605-782-3290).
Meyer also reminds people to call
AnswerLine for food preservation
questions (1-888-393-6336). SDSU
Extension (along with Minnesota
and Iowa) offers AnswerLine to pro-
vide information and resources for
consumers with home and family
questions. Or, visit AnswerLines
website at extension.iastate.edu/

If you would like to have your
pressure canner lid tested, you may
contact Jewell Bork at 669-2222
before August 6 and she will take the
lids to Winner to be tested and
return them after testing.
Cut it high ...let it lie
Master Gardener News
by Donna Adrian
Leaving your grass longer has
many benefits. Longer grass
shades the soil, keeping it cooler
which reduces evaporation of
water from the soil and also
reduces the weeds that germinate.
If it is mowed short it allows more
weeds to grow. Leaving the grass
clippings on the soil provides sig-
nificant benefits when left on the
lawn. Decomposed grass is a valu-
able source of nitrogen, phospho-
rous and potassium. Up to lb. of
nitrogen is lost for every bag of
grass clippings removed. Leaving
the clippings on is preferred to
chemical fertilizing.
Grass clippings do not con-
tribute to excessive thatch build-
up. Thatch is a layer of undecayed
build up between the soil surface
and the growing vegetation. A
thatch layer will develop if organic
matter is produced faster than it is
decomposed. Poor aeration, appli-
cation of excessive nitrogen and
infrequent mowing that generates
long grass clippings contributes to
thatch build-up.
It is important to mow with
sharp blades, and often enough
that only about a third of grass
blade is mowed off. A mowing
height between 31/2 to 4 1/2 is
ideal. This height will allow your
lawn to have a larger and deeper
root system to create a stronger
defense against weeds and
drought. It is often thought that if
you mow the grass shorter it will
allow for a longer duration
between mowing. This is untrue.
Shortly mown grass wants to rap-
idly grow back what it has lost.
The only time mowing short is
advocated is late in the fall. Mow-
ing short this last mowing will
reduce matting of the grass in the
spring and decrease the chance of
cool season fungal diseases.
How often should I fertilize?
Early summer and fall are the
most important times to fertilize
lawns.
Each time you mow, alternate
the direction of cut to reduce the
build-up of grass clippings on the
lawn. The best lawn is a small
lawn because it needs less human
and mechanical energy. Perennial
beds and naturalized areas mean
less lawn, less work and more
birds and butterflies in your enjoy-
ment.

Junes cattle on feed report mostly neutral
The July 2013 USDA Cattle on
Feed Report showed a 3 percent
reduction over the July 2012
report. It also marks the 11 consec-
utive month of smaller-than-a-
year-ago on feed inventory, said
Darrell Mark, Adjunct Professor of
Economics at South Dakota State
University in his Cattle & Corn
Comments posted weekly to
iGrow.org.
It was reported 10.368 million
head of cattle on feed in feedyards
with more than 1,000 head capaci-
ties as of July 1, 2013. USDA
reported that 63 percent or 6.527
million head of the cattle on feed
were steers. There were 3.779 mil-
lion heifers on feed and 62,000
cows and bulls on feed, comprising
36.4 percent and 0.6 percent of the
on feed total, Mark said.
Because the USDA didnt
release its semi-annual Cattle
Inventory report last July 19 as
scheduled - due to agency budget
reductions - Mark said determin-
ing actual changes in beef cow
numbers during 2013 is difficult
and will largely remain an
unknown until the next report in
January 2014.
In the mean time, beef cow
slaughter data and the number of
cows and heifers on feed can be
used to infer changes in the size of
the beef cow herd. Beef cow
slaughter was sharply higher than
a year ago during March, April,
and May. As of July 1, 2013, the
62,000 cows and bulls on feed rep-
resented an increase of 11 percent
or 6,000 head, compared to a year
ago, he said.
Those additional cows on feed
will likely boost non-fed slaughter
numbers in the weeks to come. So,
it appears like producers may still
be culling some of their oldest cows
from their herds, Mark said.
However, heifer retention inter-
ests may have picked up in the last
month or so as the number of
heifers on feed on July 1, 2013
declined 139,000 head since last
year.
This is a decrease of 3.5 percent
in heifers on feed, whereas the
number of steers on feed declined
only 3.1 percent.
Thus, the proportion of heifers
on feed comprised slightly less of
the total on feed inventory this
year on July 1. If this is a sign of
potential heifer retention, it comes
after sharply higher placements in
March and April, which were like-
ly driven in part by additional
heifer placements, he said.
USDA indicated that total
placements into feedyards were
1.587 million head in June 2013.
Mark explained this is a decrease
of 4.6 percent but that placements
were concentrated in the heaviest
weight categories.
June placements included
625,000 head weighing more than
800 pounds which is a 27 percent
increase compared to last year.
700 to 799 pound placements were
7 percent higher than a year ago,
while placements of 600 to 699
pounds and less than 600 pound
feeders were down 28 percent and
32 percent respectively.
These large changes relative to
a year ago are partially a result of
sharply higher placements of
light-weight feeder cattle last year
in response to drought and poor
pasture/range conditions prompt-
ing early weaning, Mark said.
With improved pasture/range
conditions this year and high corn
prices last month, less early wean-
ing has occurred this year and
more stockers could be run on
summer pasture.

Pre-teens, college freshmen
need back to school immunizations
Babies and toddlers arent the
only ones who need immuniza-
tions. Parents should be aware
that their pre-teens and college
freshmen also need to be vaccinat-
ed, says a state health official.
College freshmen who live in
dorms and unvaccinated kids
entering high school are at high
risk for meningococcal disease and
should be vaccinated, said Dr.
Lon Kightlinger, state epidemiolo-
gist for the Department of Health.
And 11 and 12-year-olds need a
booster shot for pertussis.
Meningococcal disease is a bac-
terial infection resulting in inflam-
mation of the tissues covering the
brain and spinal cord. Symptoms
include fever, severe headache,
stiff neck, vomiting and a rash.
Ten to 14 percent of people with
the disease die and up to 19 per-
cent of survivors may suffer per-
manent disabilities such as hear-
ing loss, limb amputations or
brain disease. South Dakota typi-
cally reports three cases of
meningococcal disease a year. To
date in 2013, four cases have been
reported.
Meningococcal vaccine is avail-
able from family health care
providers and campus student
health centers. The department
provides the vaccine for 11 to 18-
year-olds who are eligible for the
federal Vaccines for Children Pro-
gram (Medicaid eligible, Native
American or Alaskan Native,
uninsured or underinsured). The
vaccine is free for these children
but providers may charge an
administration fee.
Whooping cough, or pertussis, is
a serious illness that causes
uncontrollable coughing, rib frac-
tures, pneumonia, loss of con-
sciousness and even death. Infants
are at highest risk, with two-
thirds of those under age 1 infect-
ed needing hospitalization. There
have been 11 pertussis cases
reported in South Dakota to date
in 2013; three of those cases have
been younger than one.
A pertussis vaccine booster dose
is recommended at 11-12 years
when immunity begins to wane.
The initial pertussis series is given
to children at two months, four
months, six months, 15-18
months, and four to six years.
The department provides the
childhood series of whooping
cough vaccine and the booster dose
free for 11-14 year olds. Providers
may charge an administration fee.

providers/. Learn more about

easefacts/.

Female Futurity The Female Futurity contest has become a popular event. Jones County 4-H members are eligible to win a leather halter, sponsored by Roghair Trucking, as determined by the
total ribbon points for that female from three years of showing. The 4-Her must show the same beef female first as a Jr. Heifer Calf, the next year as a Jr. Yearling Heifer and the third year as a Cow-
Calf pair...both the cow and calf need to be halter broke and fitted. This project is a commitment of time and effort as 4-Hers are also required to present and updated 4-H animal project sheet for
each female each year at Achievement Days. Since Jones County and Mellette County have combined 4-H shows, Mellette County has seen the benefit of a long term beef project and has created the
same type of award for their young producers.
The Murdo Coyote office will be closed Friday,
August 2!

It is now late summer, the col-
lege graduates from this year are
settling into their new jobs or still
looking for one. The young lady
that came to the clinic related that
she was distressed because she
was still struggling to find a job.
She was living at home with her
parents because she couldnt
afford to support herself without a
job. Her parents had all kinds of
intended beneficial advice
although the young lady found
very little benefit from it. She
related that she was having a
banging in her chest. She
described periodically having a
sensation of a thump in the mid-
dle of her chest. She indicated that
these had been developing over
the last year and at first she
thought nothing of them. But now
they were becoming more promi-
nent and uncomfortable when they
occurred. She was becoming con-
cerned about interpretation of
what these represented. Review-
ing her history, she did not use any
medications, had been not been
part of the college drug scene,
drank in moderation and did not
smoke. She said she had been
described as high strung by
friends and family members. She
drank coffee very infrequently, did
not use cola or Mountain Dew -
caffeinated beverages. She said
that the thumps in her chest did
seem to come more frequently
when she was confronted or
stressed.
A physical examination showed
no abnormality other than a
slightly irregular heart beat. She
was obviously having something
called premature ventricular con-
tractions (PVCs). I explained to
her that she has a built-in biologi-
cal clock that determines the rate
of her heartbeat.
For some reason, in certain peo-
ple, the heart becomes twitchy and
beats earlier than her clock would
have. Note that with a pulse of 60
beats per minutes, there is one
heartbeat every second. Eighty-
five percent of that second is spent
filling the heart with blood to
pump out and only 15 percent of
that one second is used to pump
the blood out to the body. If the
heartbeat comes too early, there is
not very much blood in the heart to
pump out yet. The result is a very
weak if any pulse felt at the wrist.
The next heartbeat that comes on
schedule has now had extra time
to fill the heart and, in fact, the
heart is slightly overfilled. This
heart beat is a big booming thud
and this is what was causing her
symptoms.
This explanation provided very
little comfort for her. Now she
wanted to know why they were
happening and what they meant.
To answer that question, she need-
ed to have a monitor placed on her
heart for a full 24 hours. There are
medical devices that are unobtru-
sive and the person can wear for a
full day and determine how fre-
quently these premature ventricu-
lar contractions are occurring.
They will also determine whether
or not the focus causing them is
coming from one place or from
many places. They also determine
the area of the heart that is gener-
ating these extra heartbeats. And
lastly, the person can use a diary
to keep track of symptoms they are
have to see if these extra heart-
beats are causing any symptoms.
The young lady brought the
monitor back on schedule and it
was analyzed. In the 24-hour peri-
od of wearing the monitor, she had
104,286 heart beats which aver-
ages out to a pulse of about 73
beats per minutes. She had 3682
premature ventricular contrac-
tions in 24 hours. They all had the
same electrocardiographic appear-
ance indicating that they were
coming from one focus in the
heart. This was an important piece
of information indicating that
heart muscle was not diffusely
abnormal but rather the prema-
ture ventricular contractions came
from only one spot. Lastly, it was
seen that the abnormal heart
beats did not come in runs of two
or three or more abnormal heart-
beats in a row. Each one was a sin-
gular event followed by a normal
heart rhythm.
The next step to do was a test
called an echocardiogram which
takes a picture of the heart using
sound waves. This test can tell if
there is a structural abnormality
in the heart such as a hole in one
of the walls, or one of the heart
valves is leaking, or abnormal
hookups of the various pipes
around the heart. Her echocardio-
gram was normal.
She had no threatening family
history such as cousins, brothers
or sisters that might have had
heart problems before her. In this
situation, she was reassured that
her extra heartbeats were safe and
not a threat to her general health
or longevity. She said that was
very reassuring but she did not
like the extra heart beats and
wanted something to stop them.
She was reluctant to take a medi-
cine and I explained to her that a
medication or surgery was what
there was to stop her thumps.
Wisely, she elected to try a medica-
tion. It was reassuring that the
medication selected had a very low
incidence of side effects and that if
she did not like the sensation of
using the medication it could be
stopped, although her thumps in
her chest would not stop.
She inquired as to whether or
not stopping alcohol intake alto-
gether would make a difference, or
whether the stress of her social sit-
uation was the cause of the prob-
lem, or more exercise would be
beneficial. In multiple studies,
these latter three choices make
good sense but have not been
shown to decrease the number of
premature ventricular contrac-
tions and are not recommended
therapies for that purpose.
After long discussion, the
patient elected to start a medica-
tion called metoprolol which is a
beta blocker. This is a drug that
interferes with the effect of adren-
aline on the body. It works remark-
ably well for some individuals
although some people find it caus-
es fatigue symptoms. She tried it
at a modest dose of 25 milligrams
twice a day. She didnt have trou-
ble remembering it and it com-
pletely stopped the extra heart-
beats. She said that she also noted
that she didnt feel so high
strung. She had been to two job
interviews and on both occasions
her armpits had not perspired as
they often did when she went to a
job interview. She felt the drug
was well worth keeping.
This is an example of a very
common clinical case. In some sit-
uations where the premature
heart beats come at more than 25
percent of the time, a truly danger-
ous heart condition can be present.
Note that hers were only occurring
3 percent of the time. Referral to a
cardiologist for more complex test-
ing and treatment is sometimes
indicated.
The healthcare providers at
your local clinics can comfortably
deal with a case such as the one
above. They can also recognize the
situation when a more complex
evaluation is needed and have the
person referred on to a cardiologist
of choice.
At a time when American troops
are bravely serving their country,
we are reminded of the sacrifices
of previous generations of Ameri-
cans who risked or gave their lives
for the freedom we all enjoy today.
August is full of opportunities to
honor our veterans. This year leg-
islation was enacted designating
August 7 as Purple Heart Recog-
nition Day, a working holiday
dedicated to remember and recog-
nize those members of the Armed
Forces of the United States who
have earned the Purple Heart
Medal for wounds received in com-
bat. So as August 7 approaches, let
us not forget the men and women
of our armed forces who have
received the Purple Heart and who
have gone above and beyond the
call of duty to preserve our free-
dom.
Another great opportunity to
thank our military personnel, our
veterans, and their families is to
attend Veterans Day at the South
Dakota State Fair on August 29.
This is a special day to recognize
the sacrifices and successes of
those who have served in the
Armed Forces, both past and pres-
ent. At 10:30 a.m. there will be a
Salute to Veterans on the North-
west Energy Freedom Stage
(Recreation Avenue). Representa-
tives from the South Dakota
Department of Veterans Affairs,
the veterans service organizations
and the county and tribal veterans
service officers will have an infor-
mational booth in the Veterans
Building on Flag Avenue. This
booth will be staffed throughout
the span of the fair and will give
veterans an opportunity to talk to
experts about benefits and pro-
grams available to them.
Veterans attending school this
fall at one of South Dakotas uni-
versities or technical schools,
please remember to make contact
with the schools certifying offi-
cials. They are a great resource to
assist you in transitioning from
soldier to student.
South Dakota is fortunate to
have over 75,000 veterans
75,000 men and women who have
proudly served this country and
are deserving of benefits they have
earned. I challenge each of you to
reach out to veterans in your fam-
ily and ask them Have you ever
visited with your veterans service
officer to see if you qualify for any
benefits? Encourage them to
make that contact. Again, a listing
of the veterans service officers can
be found at: http://mva.sd.gov/
vet_service_officers.html
It is important that we honor
the men and women in uniform
who have made tremendous sacri-
fices in the defense of our nation
and who remind us of their valor
and service.
The Clinical View
Dr. P.E. Hoffsten
SD Veterans Affairs
Larry Zimmerman, Secretary of Veterans Affairs
but youd have to buy over twelve
bottles of it to save the cost of your
traveling expenses. Either that or
make cost-saving purchases on
lots of other items.
What I suspect is that people
might want to go to the city to eat
out, catch a movie, or find some
other interesting forms of enter-
tainment. Thats okay, but saying
youre going there to save money
on things you need might not be
the whole truth, so to speak. If
you have to go to keep a doctors
appointment or consult your tax
man, thats different. Some servic-
es are not available locally, and
you have to drive a ways to find
them. In that case, it does make
some sense to shop while youre
there and save back a little of your
gas expense. A few times, though,
Ive bought something in the city
thinking I was saving money only
to find it offered more cheaply
close to home. This is irritating.
As a result, Ive had to reconsider
my original idea that things can
always be purchased more cheap-
ly in big stores than little ones. It
isnt necessarily so. Impulse buy-
ing of weird stuff is also a problem
when you visit big stores.
Then we come to cowboys. They
have a million and one reasons
why they should get on their hors-
es and ride instead of, say, paint-
ing the barn or fixing the accursed
tractor. They may need to check
the cattle in general, check the
fences, see if the salt supply is
running low, and, of course,
inspect the dams in case some
critter has gotten itself stuck in
the mud. What is difficult in
terms of trying to refute any such
excuses is that the Bible recom-
mends, Be sure you know the
condition of your flocks; give care-
ful attention to your herds.
There are times, of course, that
nothing needs checking very badly
once the calving season is over,
the fences have been checked and
rechecked, and the dams are full
enough that mud isnt a problem.
This doesnt keep your normal
cowboy from dragging out these
needs to go riding, but they
should be taken for what they are
instead of by how theyre
explained. Ditto for cowgirls.
The same thing might apply to
four-wheelers which are just a
kind of substitute for horse-back
riding but also fun. I personally
have dreamt up any number of
compelling reasons to rev up our
little four-wheeler and tear off
across the prairie. Unfortunately,
I married a schoolteacher who has
a low-gullibility factor and tends
to see right through me. That
doesnt keep me from trying
though.
Just today I told her that I need-
ed to go to the steakhouse since I
hadnt been there in quite a while
and they might think I didnt love
them anymore. She replied, And
because youre tired of cooking.
That too, I agreed, and headed
out.
At the moment, I need to come
up with some sort of lame excuse
for taking a nap. Ive been busy
and productive today and have
managed to tire myself out. Wait.
Being tired is a legitimate reason
for resting. I dont have to make
up an excuse. I can just go take a
nap. That, therefore, is where Im
headed very shortly. Catch you
later.
How are you at feeble excuses?
You know, the kinds of things you
come up with to justify what you
want to do. Take the cartoon I saw
the other day where the man is
reaching into the freezer at the
grocery store and says, Wed bet-
ter buy some ice cream to keep the
butter cool on the way home. His
wife looks on with a skeptical
expression meaning she thinks
the butter would arrive home just
fine without the added coolant of
the ice cream, but she doesnt say
anything. Chances are shes
thinking she might want to buy
something they dont really need
as well and may have to come up
with a similar bit of misdirection.
Well, theres nothing wrong with
buying ice cream, but ice cream
has been known to add poundage
to a person and some of us dont
need that. You might have to come
up with a good reason to buy it
when maybe you really shouldnt.
There are other cases where simi-
lar circumstances may apply.
For example, some folks claim
they are going to the city to take
advantage of the lower prices
offered at discount stores and
such. This has some credence
because you can save substantial-
ly in certain cases. You have to
remember, though, that the gas to
get you there and back could well
cost fifty bucks. So, lets say laun-
dry detergent sells for ten dollars
a bottle locally and only six in the
city. That saves you four dollars,
