We are South Dakota State University nursing students working with the Safe Air for Everyone (S.A.F.E.) coalition in Rock County. We would like to take this opportunity to inform the public of the deadly effects of secondhand smoke. Many people know that secondhand smoke is harmful, but did you know that being in a smoky bar for only two hours is the same as smoking four cigarettes? It is amazing that a smoke-filled room can have up to six times as much air pollution as a busy highway. In addition, secondhand smoke is classified as a Group A carcinogen. This means that it is known to cause cancer in humans. (JELIowa.org)We want all people of Rock County to know that secondhand smoke is harming your health. If you work in a smoky place, such as a bar or restaurant, your health is being affected even more. Take a stand and make it known that you have the right to breathe clean air! Easy steps you can take include signing a S.A.F.E. support form or simply saying "Thank you" to smoke-free restaurants for providing you with a pleasant dining environment. For more information on secondhand smoke, keep your eye out for S.A.F.E. advertisements and community events or feel free to contact S.A.F.E. at (507)-283-5066.

By Lexi MooreLast fall while farmers worked on harvesting the season’s corn, Del and Bob Walraven from Wally’s Nursery in Hills were researching ways to increase profitability on local farms.While attending a Golden Harvest meeting in October, the brothers heard a lecture from Precision Planting, a Tremont, Ill., business that specializes in technology to maximize corn yield.The Walravens saw potential in these new products and signed up to become certified Precision Planting technicians.In November, a Precision Planting corn planter testing machine was delivered to the nursery. The men participated in a three-day course to learn how to use and calibrate the testing machine and parts.Testing options at Wally’s NurseryWally’s Nursery’s Precision Planting testing machine tests John Deere, Kerning and International finger or vac units for corn planters.The tester uses an Auto Pilot Data Center to count the number of skips and multiples in a test plot.Each test runs about 1,000 corn seeds through the machine. To improve accuracy the tester is calibrated to accommodate row width and tractor speed.Del encourages farmers to bring in their units to see how accurate they are before planting begins this spring.By replacing small parts of a unit, accuracy will increase by several percentage points. The goal is to have every unit over 95 percent accurate."We want to help farmers get rid of skips and doubles to get a more even and consistent crop," Del said."Every plant needs room to capture sunlight and develop its root system. That means that every plant in the row must be equally spaced. No doubles. No skips."Parts ImprovementsImprovements on the modern farm have continued to be made over the last 10 years. Improving yields is now as easy as adding a new and improved part to an old piece of machinery.The Walravens believe in Precision Planting parts because they offer practical improvements in the fields."These are inexpensive ways of improving yields," Del said. "They were developed by farmers – and really eliminate problems."The eSet vac disk claims farmers will get "every seed, every time." Del discussed many advantages to this disk over the John Deere disk.
The disk does not have a pocket or cell, which means the disk is not seed sensitive, it can accommodate any seed size or shape.
The raised platform means seeds release down the center of the seed tube, minimizing seed tube ricochet.
Farmers do not have to make adjustments. Precision Planting claims farmers will get 98.5 percent singulation on every seed type without adjusting vac or double eliminators.Improvements to the finger units include:
New springs and spring attachments to hold large rounds and small flats.
New finger cover provides better finger support to keep seeds from escaping under loose fingers.
New finger contour grabs rounds and fats and locks them under the flag for fewer skips.
Chrome coating eliminates rust and extends life.Replacement vac disks and improved finger disks can be purchased individually at Wally’s.SureFire Seed Belts have eliminated the inconsistent position of the seed on the belt by cupping the belt’s flights.The cupping design consistently funnels the seed to the center of the seed tube.The BullsEye Seed Tube fixes tube bounce and excessive wear.Tube bounce reduces doubles and skips with an offset that moves the sensor out of the way of the seed, giving the seed a straight path down the center of the tube.Wear on the tube has been reduced by the addition of tungsten carbide tips that prevent the double-disk opener from wearing through the tip of the seed tube.

By Lexi MooreFollowing lengthy legal discussion, the Beaver Creek City Council tabled action on a liquor license for the Beaver Creek Golf Course and Beaver Lodge.The owners of the establishment, Springbrook Development, Limited Liability Corporation, had applied to renew the liquor license during Beaver Creek’s regular council meeting on March 14. The current license expires March 31.The council did not issue a license during their regular meeting because of verbiage in the town code that states a liquor license cannot be granted to entities that owe taxes or fees, whether delinquent or unpaid.According to the Rock County Auditor-Treasurer’s Office, Springbrook Development currently has unpaid taxes, penalties and interest for 2004 and 2005 totaling $38,175.82.At the regular meeting the council decided to seek legal advice from city attorney Jeff Haubrich of Klosterbuer and Haubrich Law, Luverne.Haubrich appeared before the council and members of the Springbrook Development during a special meeting Tuesday night.After reading section 4.04 of Beaver Creek’s city code aloud, Haubrich said, "It seems plain as can be that you can’t issue a license based on your code."Council members asked if there was any legal way they could still issue the license.Based on his interpretation of the city code, Haubrich recommended three options to the council:üDeny the license based on the city code.üAmend the code to remove the section in question. To do this, the city would have to follow procedure by adopting an ordinance.To adopt a new ordinance, the council would have to write the verbiage, publish it one time and the process would take about a month.üSpringbrook Development can pay the taxes before the current license expires.Councilman Burdell Willers said, "Section 4.04 is very well-written and I don’t think we should tinker with it."Mayor Al Blank agreed, "The public trust of the whole city and all its citizens needs to be considered when we discuss if a law doesn’t fit right, whether we should get rid of it."Arlyn Gehrke had trouble finding a way around the wording of the code."I think we all want to issue a liquor license, but there is no other way around it without getting the taxes paid up.Rodney Scholten, a member of the Springbrook Development, and his mother Roberta spoke on behalf of the business.They explained that the group had made an arrangement with the Rock County Treasurer’s office to pay $500 a month toward their taxes. It was their understanding that this payment would take their taxes out of delinquency.This statement contradicted information Willers gathered early Tuesday afternoon. He contacted the treasurer’s office and was told that the taxes were still delinquent.The council asked Haubrich to contact the county to clarify the situation. If the county does have an agreement with the owners that makes their tax status non-delinquent, the council plans to call another special meeting to reconsider the issue.Blank said, "The only way we would have a special meeting is if Jeff brings back something favorable from the county, otherwise the issue will just die."If the county cannot confirm such an agreement exists, the issue will remain tabled until the council meets on April 11 for their regular meeting. The golf course owners expressed the importance of keeping the liquor license.Scholten said he worried that "without the liquor license a large profit center of the business will be gone."Roberta warned that "… without the license we know we can’t survive. If the business goes under, it will be a long time before the taxes get paid – we need the license to stay in business."

Well, here we are, already in the middle of March. Some years ago when many farmers changed or bought farms, March 1 was the time to make the moves. They had to do this at this time in order to get all the machinery, animals, etc., moved to be ready for spring planting. I don’t recall of any farmers changing places as of now, but I do know of one move made here in town. That one is of Mark Top who moved from his home at 405 South Main to the residence he bought at the east side of Hills on Highway 27, the home originally built for Milton and Evelyn Anderson. The residence on South Main is for sale. Sheldon and Ellie Sandager returned home after four weeks, having driven 5,000 miles and visiting friends and relatives. They made stops in Buellton, Livermore and Healdsburg, Calif., which is in the wine growing region of the Sonoma Valley. They visited their daughter, Beth, now attending college at Santa Rosa studying the Spanish language. On their return they stayed at Lake Havasu, Ariz., to spend a couple of days with Claude and Verna Van Driel and then on to Albuquerque, N.M. They were at Payson, N.M., Ravenna, Neb., and Herrick, S.D., and home to Hills. They reported dry weather made for good traveling conditions which is now followed by rain. Mary Carter left Hills Jan. 30 to visit her sons and their wives, Ron and Joyce, in Sun City, Nev., and John and Julie in Camarillo, Calif. She had a wonderful time and returned to Hills March 17.Chuck and Rheta DeBoer drove to Garner, Iowa, Friday for a visit in the home of their son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Karen DeBoer, and also to celebrate the third birthday of their grandson, Micah.Saturday Don and Edyth Briggs motored to Rochester to attend the annual Conclave of the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem. There was a church service followed by a luncheon.

It never ceases to amaze me how fast the weeks go by. Sometimes I wish they would begin to slow. And even though I look for ways to slow down those somewhat crazy days, the weeks keep flying by until we reach our home up in the sky. Retirement seems so grand when you have your whole life planned. But then I look at older, graying folks who run around like crazy after their kids, grandkids and the like, and it makes me think that life just gets faster so hold on and enjoy the ride as we wait for the return of our Master.Last Tuesday, Jo Aykens, Mildred Keunen and Joyce Bristow went to Orange City to celebrate Joyce’s birthday. Paul and Carole Aykens, Vince and Laurie & little McKenzie Kurtz, Jadeyn and Andrea Aykens and Natalie Brown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, joined them. They had a grand time. A belated happy birthday to Joyce.Also celebrating a birthday last week Monday was Henrietta Huenink. Due to the weather, few came out. Pete and Judy Boeve of Sioux Falls came in the evening, and on Tuesday her granddaughter Jessica Grems of Lester and her two children came to visit.On Monday, March 20, Sonya Elbers, daughter of Marlin and Linda Elbers, celebrated her 17th birthday.

I am sure most of you remember the former, very popular television sit-com "Seinfeld." The comedic episodes, featuring Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine, were never heavy, political or deeper than the proverbial puddle.Julia Louise Dryfus is starring in a new series called the "New Adventures of Old Christine." She plays an individual much like her former Elaine character, funny and poking fun at herself in everyday life.Years ago, I had a hilarious mini-adventure that I think would be just the ticket for a situation comedy episode. It happened after the Seinfeld show retired, but now I have a second chance with a suggestion for Old ChristineÅc My handsome and talented husband, Doug, was singing for a private party on the Grand Stage of the Washington Pavilion. I accompanied him to ‘run sound’ which is as complicated as pushing the ‘play’ button on a stereo.Before the performance, I had gulped down a 42-ounce soda on the way there, and I needed to find a restroom. The nearest facility was a large room void of furniture except for a wall- mounted sink, electric hand dryer and a toilet. All starkly white and plain except for the ultra-modern motion activating sensors on all three. I would like to meet the genius that invented the toilet that flushes as soon as light hits the sensor — usually just when you start standing up — and give him a good whack for every mother who has ever had a two-year-old frightened into hysterics over a premature flushing.(That is another column.)I locked the door, set my purse on the edge of the sink and took a seat.It was at that moment that my purse slipped from its perch into the sink. I watched in horror as it immediately activated the motion sensor faucet and commenced filling with water.A woman’s purse should be like the Sahara desert: dry for good reason.The desert should stay dry because the animals and plant life that live there have adapted and a change would disrupt how things are meant to be. The contents of my purse should be dry for the same reason. My cell phone, like any electronic device, is allergic to moisture of any kind. The receipts that I keep religiously, the bits of paper with numbers, my checkbook, tissues, old grocery lists and the hundred unused coupons that may or most likely may not ever see the light of day share the same sensitivity.I watched helplessly as this tragedy transpired. (The sink was out of reach.)I finished as quickly as humanly possible and leapt to my purse’s rescue. I shook off what water I could from everything, crammed it all back in my purse and dashed back stage just in time to do my vital job.Doug was brilliant, as always, and surprisingly the contents of my purse and I survived this traumatic chain of events damp but intact.Reenacted by Old Christine, this could be very funny,The Crescent and I could make a bunch of money. We’ll have a celebration! Start thinking about a date. I’ll send this in while you close the gate.
