Ruth A. Moller [email protected] Lee Kolda, the location man- ager and agronomist for North Central Farmers Elevator, Miller, received the coveted Customer Service Leader award at the an- nual kick-off meeting Septem- ber 5 in Sioux Falls. Kolda was one of three NCFE employees in the state to re- ceive the award for 2013. The plaque includes the inscription, “Providing Customers Excep- tional Product Support.” The award is based on an employer who provides custom- ers with exceptional product support, and who faced unique product or system challeng- es and went beyond the call of duty to support customers and the brands sold through NCFE. NCFE is a full-service, farm- er-owned cooperative head- quartered in Ipswich, S.D., with 17 locations throughout the state. The Miller location opened in April 2010. Kolda grew up near Polo, and graduated from Miller High School in 2001, then from Lake Area Technical Institute in 2003, with a degree in ag business. He went to work as a spray- er for an agricultural business, and then as an agronomist for a farm co-op in Pierre. He then was an agronomist in Highmore for the same farm co-op. Kolda began work at the new Miller facility in 2010 as the agronomist. He was named manager in August 2011. Kolda and his wife Shanna have a seven-year-old son, Col- by.

As a follow-up to di-nosaur activities, the kids created some amazing re-alistic prehistoric creatures using Legos. These, along with the clay dinos made previously, made an inter-esting display.
With the donation of some great step-by-step drawing books the kids tried their skills in sketch-ing a variety of animals and objects. Some have a good eye for proportion and each is successful in their own way.
After recreation the kids fi nd a spot on the carpet in the Roost to “tune in” to the next chapters in the Ju-nie B. Jones book currently being read to them. They fi nd Junie B. to be some-what naughty, defi nitely opinionated and a little gal that easily gets into trou-ble. This week she has had more antics in the school, specifi cally the cafeteria.
A fi nal trip to the pump-
kin patch was produc-tive. There were many of “Ooh’s” and “Ahh’s” when the big white coach pulled up in front of the armory to transport them to the patch! Lots of hands made the job of cleaning the produce from the patch a team endeavor that went fairly quickly. The remain-ing pumpkins and gourds were put onto a trailer to be made available for sale during the Saturday volley-ball tournament. The kids manhandled wheelbar-rows, were poked by stick-ery stems, stumbled when caught in the vines, ex-hibited teamwork, and did problem solving in fi nding ways to load heavy pump-kins into the wheelbarrows or the trailer. (Rich came to their rescue from time to time.) Most of the crop sold. With some of the few that are left the Roost kids will do some projects.

HAND COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, the Sheriff ’s Offi ce, and numerous other fi rst responders and “volun-teers” participated in a full-scale disaster exercise September 26 at the courthouse, when shooters began fi r-ing at the judge and others in the courtroom. Emergency manager Nehemia Volquardsen said he felt the exer-cise, which lasted about three hours, was well conducted and taken seriously by participants, which included18 volunteers, three “shooters” and 24 responders. A full account will be in next week’s paper.
Trudy Lieberman, Rural Health News Service
Editor’s note: The Ru-ral Health News Service is funded by a grant from The Commonwealth Fund and distributed through the Nebraska Press Association Foundation, the Colorado Press Association and the South Dakota Newspaper Association.
The Affordable Care Act formally makes its debut on October 1 when its cen-tral feature, the state shop-ping exchanges and ac-companying government subsidies to help low-and moderate-income people, opens for business.
Just how will this new act affect you? First, it’s important to understand what the Affordable Care Act is not. Contrary to what many politicians and others have claimed, it is not socialized medicine, and it is not government-run health care. It’s not even a national health in-surance system like Medi-care or the health systems in other countries.
Delivery of health care in the U.S. is mostly pri-vate with doctors still be-ing paid fees for their services by insurance com-panies or government pay-ers like Medicare. With the exception of a handful of county or municipally-funded facilities, hospitals are privately run. While they may be nominally not-for-profi t businesses and receive certain tax ad-vantages, they increasingly concentrate on the bottom line. In effect there’s not
much difference between for-profi t and not-for-profi t facilities.
At its core the Afford-able Care Act calls for im-provements in existing American health insur-ance arrangements. That arrangement can loose-ly be thought of as a kind of public/private partner-ship with Medicare avail-able for those 65 and older and some disabled people, Medicaid for people with very low incomes, and the commercial market with for-profi t and not-for-profi t insurance companies sell-ing to everyone else.
The problem has been that some 50 million Amer-icans---about 232,000 in Nebraska, 716,000 in Col-orado, and about 105,000 in South Dakota, accord-ing to the Kaiser Family Foundation---have no cov-erage from any of those in-surance arrangements. Be-cause most have had no way to pay for care, they often tried to do without it and developed serious health problems as a re-sult.
The Affordable Care Act aims to bring more of those Americans un-der the insurance tent pri-marily by making more people eligible for Medic-aid and by making it easi-er to buy insurance in the so-called individual mar-ket. Most of those seeking insurance will shop in the new state exchanges that will offer a range of poli-
cies sold by private insur-ance companies regulated by the states. The feder-al government can try to persuade insurers to lower their rates if increases ex-ceed 10 percent.
Even with these expan-sions the Congressional Budget Offi ce estimated that some 30 million Amer-icans will continue to be without health insurance. Some will take the small penalty for not having in-surance, some will be ille-gal immigrants, and others are those with very low in-comes in states that have chosen not to expand their Medicaid programs.
Insurers can no lon-ger turn down people who have preexisting medical conditions. Even very ill
people will be guaranteed the right to buy health in-surance. What you buy in the exchange depends on how much you can spend and your tolerance for risk---the risk of having to pay out of pocket for many of your medical needs.
The cheapest insur-ance, so-called bronze poli-cies, will cover only about 60 percent of your medical bills. A silver plan will cov-er 70 percent; a gold plan 80 percent; and a platinum plan 90 percent. The more coverage, the higher the premium.
The policies offered in any of these tiers are not identical, however. One company’s silver policy may offer a low deductible but charge policyholders
high copayments or high co-insurance, say 20 or 50 percent of a medical bill. Another company’s plan might do the opposite-low coinsurance or copayments as a trade-off for a high de-ductible.
Because insurance is so expensive, some people shopping on the exchang-
es will be eligible for sub-sidies in the form of tax credits. The subsidies are highest for individuals and families with the lowest in-comes, but people with in-comes up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level or about $94,000 for a fami-ly of four could qualify for some help.

The national Association of Fish and Wildlife Agen-cies has awarded Jim Faul-stich the 2013 National Pri-vate Lands Fish and Wildlife Stewardship Award at their recent meeting in Portland, Oregon.
Faulstich wanted to op-erate a profi table ranch, pre-serve the natural resources of the land and pass the ranch on to the next generation in better condition. His success brought him a national honor as he received the award for his work on his 5,300-acre family farm/ranch.
Faulstich has invest-ed time and resources to be-come a knowledgeable prac-titioner of principles and concepts learned in holistic management courses, graz-ing management workshops and tours, and more. Under his holistic approach to ranch management, he focuses on
careful stewardship of the natural resources. Now, Faul-stich is a frequent speaker at local and regional ranch and grazing management work-shops.
“Jim believes that stew-ardship of the resources leads to better health of every-thing, benefi ting land, water, livestock, wildlife and peo-ple,” South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Secretary Jeff Vonk said.
Native and restored grass-land and associated wetlands comprise about 80 percent of the ranch. It has become a sustainable grass-based ranch that also provides high-qual-ity habitat to a wide variety of grassland- and wetland-de-pendent wildlife.
“Jim’s tireless commit-ment to grassland steward-ship and conservation is demonstrated not only in his day-to-day ranch manage-
ment efforts, but also in his willingness to be a leader at the local, state and nation-al level,” Vonk said. “Jim is the current board chairman for the South Dakota Grass-land Coalition and his vision and energy as a leader are a big reason the coalition has become one of the most ef-fective and respected voices of grassland conservation and grass-based agriculture in the region.”
Faulstich has set part of his ranch aside in conserva-tion easements that will be critical for waterfowl and shorebird management, and is a cooperator in a variety of wildlife and grassland stud-ies.
“It is fi tting that this na-tional honor is added to the statewide and region-al recognition Jim has re-ceived,” Vonk said.
Highmore rancher earns national conservation honor
(Editor’s note: At 22, John B. Heilman was itch-ing to see “action,” as in-dicated in his letter to his mother on June 11, 1942. Treasure Island is a man-made island obtained from the City of San Francisco for US Naval war emergen-cy needs in 1942.)
I’m still at Treasure Is-land, and not doing a
thing, just waiting to be sent somewhere. I haven’t got any mail for over a week. It’s sent to Unit 560
and evidently we’re not to the unit yet, so no one knows where it is at.
I hope my next move is a long one, say China or Australia or somewhere. I would like to see some more country.
So I guess you had bet-ter stop writing until I send my address or something. I was in San Francisco two times. It’s a nice town. To-morrow night another kid and I are going to Berkeley and Oakland for a while. Stanford University is at
Berkeley and just across the bay opposite from San Francisco. I got to go to a private dance the other night, and the other day I ate dinner at the table next to where Lana Turner ate. I had my picture taken twice with her and a bunch of sailors. There are not many Marines up here, mostly sailors and soldiers.
The other night I had guard duty. I have guard again tonight, but only for two hours. As ever, J.B.
Another news item from the Press states, “John Hei-lman has received a let-ter from his son, John Jr., the fi rst for some time, and since this young man left for foreign port with his unit of Marines. He does not indicate his location, but tells of fl ying fi sh seen on the voyage, says he is learning the .50 caliber machine gun, and reports that the mosquitoes bother them more than the enemy (Japanese).
I got some “bug” right after Labor Day…then had a medica-tion reaction, so I decid-ed I couldn’t visit my old stompin’ grounds Septem-ber 19-22 in Crookston, Minnesota. No way could I drive seven-plus hours one way, spend a hectic weekend, then drive back.
I was not happy. I’d so looked forward to seeing old friends and just savor-ing time in a place I loved with people I love.
Although I haven’t lived there for many years, Crookston has always meant “home” to me.
Growing up on the farm left many good memories. I enjoyed college…the fi rst two years in a dorm, the second two in married stu-dent housing. I also liked living in Brookings after graduation, while my hus-band was getting his mas-ter’s.
Initially, I wasn’t cra-zy about moving to north-ern Minnesota. At the time, it seemed like a foreign country, as I knew nothing about it and I didn’t know a soul. �But my husband’s job was there, so that’s where we went.
My fi rst impression was, “It’s so FLAT.” The Red River Valley is…fl at. I didn’t recognize what sug-ar beets were. There were few if any fences; people don’t grow many animals there. The fertile soil is for wheat, sunfl owers and sug-ar beets. I once said, “You could walk a mile in your sleep, and never stumble.” It’s that fl at. I also referred to our residence as “Outer
Siberia” in the winter.Crookston is cut by the
Red Lake River in seven places; hence, the “Woods Addition” or “Sampson’s Addition.” That old river has done its share of dam-age over the years, too, when the ice goes out.
I made an effort to adapt. I subbed at the Crookston Daily Times. I joined Mrs. Jaycees. I at-tended Faculty Women’s Club. And the most im-portant part was, I got to know my neighbors and other “faculty women.” It was, in essence, a close-knit family.
Yet, it was diverse…with the strong Scandinavian in-fl uence, as well as Canadi-an, and the migrant work-ers who tended the sugar beets. Being a history nut, I loved the history of the ox carts and the Pembi-na Trail, and all the rest of this rich old riverbed’s background.
A couple of years lat-er, I began working at Uni-versity Relations as their writer…a wonderful expe-rience. I enjoyed my co-workers and the stimu-lation of writing articles and doing publicity. I also loved writing the history of the old “ag school” that had preceded the Universi-ty of Minnesota campus.
And a big plus was, I had most of my summers free.
I truly enjoyed our big old Victorian house in the Woods Addition. There were no locked doors…kids and neighbors walked in and out at random. Doorbells? No. You just stood at the back door and yelled, “Anybody home?”
There was simply a ca-maraderie I’d never en-countered before…or since.
I love the Black Hills, but when the opportuni-ty came to move there, I was torn. I didn’t want to leave the house, the town, the job, the people that I loved.
And after all these years, I’ve never recap-tured that unique feeling of belonging that I felt in Minnesota. �
I can still call someone there, and they recognize my voice. That’s home.
So, yes, I was disap-pointed that my body be-trayed me, and I wasn’t up to the drive. I’ll probably feel better once we have a freeze.
But I WILL eventual-ly make it up there, even if I have to hitchhike. I sim-ply want to hear, “Well, hi, Ruth Anne. How are you?”
RETROSPECTFrom the fi les of The Miller Press
September 25, 1913The management of the
Miller Opera House has been fortunate in securing as the opening attraction for the season Daniel Mar-tin’s beautiful scenic pro-duction of “Freckles”.
The football season was ushered in, in good earnest on the local grounds when the Miller High School de-feated the Faulkton High School by a score of 43 to 0 last Saturday.
Friday night as Dan Carl was returning home from town with his auto, he didn’t have his lights lit, and scared Jake Chip-man’s team, causing them to run away and complete-ly wreck the mower.
September 19, 1963Nellie Redmond, 92,
a resident of Miller since 1882, died Wednesday morning. Mrs. Redmond was born at Madrid, Iowa in 1871. Her father, Wil-liam Stover, brought his family to Dakota Territory in 1882 and three years lat-er established a hardware store. Following her mar-
riage to J.T. Redmond in 1890, they took over the store and continued its op-eration until recent years.
The City Council held a special meeting last Mon-day evening. Double park-ing on Broadway is per-missible as long as the cars are not left unattended, ac-cording to City ordinance presently in effect. Recent-ly many complaints have been made because some drivers double park their cars and leave them unat-tended for indefi nite peri-ods of time and often pre-vent someone parked at the curb from backing away.
The Ree Heights Wom-en’s Club met at the home of Delia Nicholas. Miss Ruth Smith was guest speaker for the evening. She has returned from Hong Kong, where she was stationed as a missionary. She gave an interesting talk on the land, people and their customs.
September 20, 1973Rustler Homecoming is
September 28. Homecom-
ing king and queen candi-dates are Lynette Wagner, Nancy Augspurger, Robbi Robertson, Brenda John-son, Kristi Jones. King can-didates are Mike Ellsworth, Pat Dailey, Rod Brandha-gen, Scott Heidepriem and Brad Oligmueller.
Billy Reppe, Meraker, Norway, is spending three weeks in the U.S. visiting his relatives, members of the Teveldal family.
September 21, 1983Brian Fawcett, Ree
Heights, is one of fi ve South Dakota youth dele-gates who will attend the National 4-H Conference in Washington, D.C. next April.
It’s been a long dry spell, since 1978 to be ex-act, since the Rustlers de-feated the Mobridge Ti-gers in football, so Friday night’s 9-7 victory was in-deed a happy occasion for the Rustlers.
The City Council adopt-ed the 1984 City budget Monday evening. The total appropriation is $1,071,514. The general fund tax levy
is $130,000.September 20, 1993
JoDean Joy of Mill-er headed the successful drive to stop the increase of bet limits in Deadwood. She says the message to the governor and the leg-islature is a double one: “Not only do the people of South Dakota want some-thing different, but a lot of people of South Dakota want something different.”
Myrtle Johnson cele-brates 100th birthday. She was born Sept. 30, 1893 in St. Lawrence to Charles and Elizabeth Stegmire. Her father was a black-smith in St. Lawrence and Miller for many years and her mother worked as a cook in the Miller Hotel. She married Arthur John-son in 1916, and they lived in South Hand before mov-ing to Miller.
September 24, 2003Few people have writ-
ten area news for The Mill-er Press as long as JoAnn Schaefers of Polo has. This week, JoAnn is being rec-ognized for her 30 years as
Polo news correspondent. Thursday, Sept. 27, 1973 marked the beginning of a long JoAnn-Press affi lia-tion. Even in her fi rst col-umn, JoAnn produced a hefty amount of copy, tell-ing about the folks around the area, and she’s been doing it ever since, provid-ing a chronicle of the life and times of the rural Polo-Orient community.
Although his family couldn’t see his smile af-ter hearing his fi rst child’s cries seconds after birth, they knew he was a very proud daddy. Jameson Na-than Ford was born Aug. 26 to MHS grad and Na-tional Guard Specialist Na-than K. Ford and his wife, Val. Nathan listened to the fi rst cries of his child through a phone thousands of miles away in a desert in Iraq.

The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K Walk is Saturday, Oct. 5 at the SD Visitor Center in Pierre. Registration be-gins at 9 a.m., followed by
a program that has a stel-lar line up of speakers, fea-turing two high profi le persons who have faced hereditary breast disease.
Helene Duhamel, Rapid City and news director and TV personality with KOTA TV, will emcee the 1 ½ hour program at the Mak-ing Strides Walk.
Keynote speaker, Sara Olson, from Bristol, S.D., is a fourth-generation breast cancer survivor. She was 29 when she was diag-nosed in June 2010. Sara and her family participat-ed in a Creighton Universi-ty hereditary breast disease cancer study. The family was instrumental in help-ing to isolate the BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 gene muta-tions, which are passed from generation to gener-ation, causing breast and ovarian cancer in wom-en and prostate cancer in men. Sara and Helene will discuss the impact of he-reditary breast disease on their lives, their choices and breast cancer preven-tion.
Kayla York, CGC, MS, with the Avera Cancer In-stitute, is a certifi ed ge-netics counselor and will speak on genetic testing and inherited breast can-cer, trends in testing, when testing should be done and the testing guidelines. Dr. Dan Petereit, radiation on-cologist with the Vucurev-ich Cancer Center in Rapid
City will address brachy-therapy as a treatment op-tion.
“We are very pleased to have this incredible line up of medical profession-als as well as pro fessional speakers present informa-tion regarding breast can-cer that is truly lifesaving,” said American Cancer So-ciety staff, Charlene Lund. “Making Strides is not only about families coming to-gether and enjoying the support and camaraderie of the Walk, but it’s also an opportunity to learn about breast cancer re-search and prevention and treatment options available to women who have been diagnosed.”
Riggs High Cheer and Dance team will perform routines at 11:30 and the Oahe YMCA staff will per-form “Fight the Fight” line dance with the audi-ence, followed by warm up stretches. The walk will begin at 12 noon. The 5K walk will take a route through Hilger’s Gulch and around the capital com-plex. All persons who have been affected by breast cancer are invited to attend the walk, the pro-gram and all of the activi-ties. A light breakfast buf-fet will be available before the walk and a lunch will follow the walk. Recogni-tion and awards will be presented.

Mandy Luikens of Reck Funeral Home recently completed 23 contact hours of specialized embalming and reconstruc-tive training as part of Fountain National Academy’s “Embalming Skills Seminar.”
Held at the Fountain National Acade-my’s Training Facility in Springfi eld, Mis-souri, the seminar focused on highly specialized embalming techniques and in-cluded special surgical techniques. These techniques advanced the skill level of the professional embalmers attending regard-ing general embalming techniques and post-mortem reconstructive surgery tech-niques.
A professional embalmer is often called upon to prepare a deceased that has several traumatic disfi g-uring injuries. In these situ-ations, reconstructive tech-niques are necessary to achieve an acceptable ap-pearance of the deceased to
enable viewing by family and friends. Dedicated professional embalmers un-
derstand that performance of reconstruc-tive surgery on a deceased to achieve open casket viewing provides an impor-tant and powerful psychological benefi t for the grieving and mourning process of the family and friends.
Fountain National Academy’s world headquarters is based in Springfi eld, Mo., with representatives in Ireland, Wales and Australia. Instructor Vernie R. Foun-tain is internationally recognized for his expertise in this fi eld. He states that Lui-kens’ participation in the seminar is an expression of devotion and dedication to the highest standards of embalming and
Redfi eld Mid-Day Con-nection will meet Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 12 noon� at Leo’ Restaurant, Redfi eld. Ev-eryone is welcome, and no membership is required.

Darlene Grant and Bev Wright, Turton, S.D., will “Show & Tell” all about their Pheasant Feather Crafts.
Main speaker will be Rita Weber, Sioux Falls. Weber is an author and songwriter, a former nurse, social worker and men-tal health counselor. She is
a second-place winner in Toastmaster Internation-al’s “Humorous Speech Competition,” and she also competed in internation-al “world championship of public speaking.”
Weber has been blind since her mid twenties. The title of her talk is “Destined On Arrival.”

Here is some trivia about pumpkins. Did you know…that pumpkins are really a squash? Pump-kins are grown all over the world. Native Americans fl attened strips of pump-kin, dried them and made mats. Finally, the “pump-kin capitol of the world” is Morton, Illinos.
Eva Nissen recently at-tended the wedding of her granddaughter, Christina Hawn and Scott Hagen, both from Eau Claire, Wis-consin.
They were married in a huge “hip-roof” barn near Rice Lake, Wis. The old barn was bought and re-modeled by a young cou-ple, painted red and black, and used for large gather-ings.
The top fl oor (what we used to call a hayloft) is used for Christian ceremo-nies and accommodates all churches as a sanctuary. The main fl oor, complete-ly renovated, is used for the reception and dancing, and can accommodate 200 people.
The barn sits on a well-groomed acreage with trees and fl owers, and it has an outdoor shaded pa-tio. Eva says the wedding was truly “country” and beautiful.
A cubic mile of fog is made up of less than a gal-lon of water.
Eva Nissen accompa-nied Pat Shaw and Don-
na Koeck to the Highmore Care Center Sunday, Sept. 22 to visit Althea Augs-purger and Hattie Cher-land on their birthdays. Eva also visited Fred Hib-bison, a former Manor res-ident.

Thursday evening, Vir-ginia Burgher, Marilyn Blake and Bob and Joyce Meyer went to Aberdeen to attend the Foster Grand-parent 41st annual recogni-tion banquet (1972-2013), which was held at the Ramkota Hotel. Steve and Bonnie Yearous also at-tended the event as guests. The theme of the banquet was patriotic – “Saluting Our Foster Grandparents—Heroes Among Us.”
During the banquet, ev-eryone was entertained by a band called “Memo-ry Lane.” They sang and played some old, memora-ble songs as well as sever-al patriotic numbers.
Following the banquet, each foster grandparent was presented a service award. Virginia, Marilyn, Bob and Joyce each re-ceived an appreciation cer-tifi cate for three years of outstanding volunteer ser-vice to the North Central Region Foster Grandpar-ent Program. They also each received a gift. Each grandparent also won a
door prize, and was given a fruit basket, donated by Kessler’s, Inc.

We have several Oc-tober birthdays. They are Rose Danburg, Oct. 2; Marvin VanDerW-erff, Oct. 10; Dick Palm-er, Oct. 11; Linda Aalbers, Oct. 12; and Rhoda Rom-bough, Oct. 25. Each one is wished a special day, and a year of joy, prosper-ity and good health.
My humor this week is from the August/Septem-ber 2013 issue of “Coun-try” magazine. It is en-titled “He’s Gifted That Way,” and was submitted by Irene Kaufmann, Tava-res, Fla.
Tom went to buy his wife a present. “How about some perfume?” he asked the sales clerk, who showed him a bottle cost-ing $50.
“That’s too much,” Tom said, waving it away. So the clerk brought out a smaller $30 bottle. Frown-ing, Tom said, “That’s still a lot of money. What else do you have?”
The tight-lipped sales clerk then showed him a tiny bottle for $15. Tom still fussed. “What I mean,” he said, “is that I’d like to see something real-ly cheap.”
So the clerk handed him a mirror.

The weather this past week has been up and down, with the temper-atures cool at night and into the 70s to 90 dur-ing the days. We also had some very cold days with the temperatures only get-ting up into the 50s to low 60s for highs. We received some rain Friday night with it totaling .62 of an inch. This is the fi rst rain that we have had for about two weeks that was more than just a few hundredths of an inch. The farmers are busy combining corn and beans, and getting good re-sults. We also had several days of strong wind so the farmers were wary about getting into the fi elds on those days.
The Ree Heights Fire Department was called out Sunday this week but the fi re was put out by the South Hand Department before they got to it.
I went to lunch with my daughter and two-year-old grandson, Steven, one af-ternoon. Since wearing fancy scarves seems to be the latest fashion, I put one on. When I picked up Ste-ven out of his highchair, he looked at me, then my scarf, and said, “You have your bib on, too, Grand-ma!”

Is it fair to make certain generalizations about men? Do men always try to fi x what is broken, and will a guy always try to deny or cover up his problems or his symptoms? I submit a real macho manly man can best fi x problems if he doesn’t cover-up.
The Spanish or Portu-guese word machismo re-fers to an old world be-lief in the supremacy of men over women, some-thing rightfully criticized by modern men who strive in all ways for justice and equality.
In contrast, the word macho is a modern deriva-tion of the old word, which should refer to male pride for admirable actions: be-ing forthright rather than covering-up; proving gra-cious rather than being passive; valuing others rather than demeaning oth-ers; showing confi dence rather than in-your-face ag-gression; protecting oth-ers rather than putting the weaker at risk. The new word macho is not the op-posite of femininity, rath-er a unique male balance of human traits, including compassion and justice. And yes, he still tries to fi x problems.
But where does this ma-cho man come from? Of course, growing up, he hopefully learns from a protecting father role mod-el and an ever-reassur-ing mother. But also what makes the man is the al-most magical power of cer-tain testosterone and es-trogen hormone levels starting when the male fe-tus is within the uterus and just the right balance of these hormones continu-ing all through that fetus-then-baby-then-boy-then-man’s life.
It is almost poetic to learn from recent scientif-
ic studies that even male sexual drive comes not just from testosterone, but rath-er from the right blend of testosterone AND estro-gen. Experts say the male body makes estrogen from testosterone. Who would have guessed that male-ness is all about a balance of hormones including es-trogen?
Recently we have dis-covered that some men for various reasons have low testosterone and thus low estrogen levels too, some-times resulting in fatigue, weakness, depression and sexual dysfunction. It is nice to learn that treat-ment with inexpensive tes-tosterone shots, or more expensive creams, gels or patches, return most men to normal, and again the body turns some of that testosterone to estrogen making the correct bal-ance.
Alas, too many men are old world, and have a ten-dency to deny and cov-er up those symptoms. Come on! A real macho man would have the sim-ple blood test to make the diagnosis and set the stage to fi x the problem.
Dr. Rick Holm wrote this Prairie Doc Perspective for “On Call,” a weekly pro-gram where medical profes-sionals discuss health con-cerns for the general public. “On Call” is produced by the Healing Words Founda-tion in association with the South Dakota State Uni-versity Journalism Depart-ment. “On Call” airs Thurs-days on South Dakota Public Broadcasting-Televi-sion at 7 p.m. Central.

The Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre will host a “Press Conference with the President” at 7 p.m. CDT on Thursday, Oct. 17.
Everyone is welcome to attend the free program, which is made possible by the South Dakota Humani-ties Council, an affi liate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The president in ques-tion is Theodore Roosevelt, as portrayed by actor Arch Ellwein of Sidney, Mont.
“Arch has previous-ly presented two programs sponsored by the South Dakota Historical Society Foundation in which he portrayed historic individ-
uals. Both programs were popular with audiences,” said Foundation President Michael Lewis. “We’re pleased to have Arch back in Pierre to bring the na-tion’s 26th president to life.”
Roosevelt became pres-ident in 1901 when Pres-ident William McKinley was assassinated. In the eight years he served as president, Roosevelt be-came known as an envi-ronmentalist for setting aside nearly 200 million acres for national forests, reserves and wildlife ref-uges. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906 for ne-gotiating a treaty that end-
ed a war between Russia and Japan, making him the fi rst American to receive a Nobel Prize.
Ellwein’s program is set in 1911, two years af-ter Roosevelt left offi ce. Questions will be provid-ed to audience members who will act as the “press corps.” After a short ad-dress, former President Theodore Roosevelt will entertain questions.
“This format allows TR to cover a wide gamut of unrelated topics in a 40- to 45-minute program,” Ell-wein said. “This is not a lecture. It is an event.”
Ellwein began develop-ing the program after read-
ing Roosevelt’s autobiog-raphy in preparation for playing Teddy Brewster in the play “Arsenic and Old Lace.” The character of Teddy Brewster believes he is Theodore Roosevelt.
“I have been perform-ing as TR since 1996,” Ell-wein said. “His energy and enthusiasm are infectious. In addition to being su-premely confi dent, TR is incredibly sentimental. His irrepressible and mercuri-al personality is the hall-mark of my performance. I want audiences to ‘feel’ Roosevelt so modern audi-ences can understand how he was such a captivating public fi gure.”

SCORE BOARDSCORE BOARDSportsSports
The Chamberlain Invita-tional and the Big Dakota Conference are run simul-taneously, and were held September 19 at Chamber-lain.
The Invitational ver-sion of the meet consists of all team in attendance. The Big Dakota Confer-ence is comprised of mem-ber schools. The Invitation-al and Conference, though run at the same time, are scored separately.
Miller boys’ varsity came in at second place in the invitational and the junior boys were in fi rst. In the BDC, Miller varsity again came in second, and junior varsity fi rst.
Coach Tom McGough said, “Everyone knew that this was going to be the
most competitive meet thus far this season. It lived up to that expecta-tion. State champion, in-dividual and team State place winners were in the fi eld of athletes.”
McGough comment-ed, “I thought our ath-letes were very competi-tive. They competed with grit and determination, and I felt they were locked-in with a sense of purpose and expectation. If we are going to continue to build upon what we have ac-complished, we are going to have to stay focused, gaining additional insight to what needs to be done and then do it.”
McGough said upcom-ing meets will have a strong fi eld of athletes.
