This week was mostly West River which concluded Thursday evening with a Meet the Candidates event in Winner. It was a Q & A between the candidates and the audience. Topics included education funding, economic development incentives, property taxes, and tax fairness. Friday, I spent the entire morning checking signage condition, after 70+ mph winds swept our area. All but one sign escaped without harm. One sign at Burke went down. NO damage really, except broken wire. I will re-erect Monday AM with stronger wire.
Friday evening, I attended a Democratic meeting in Sioux Falls with Sen. Tim Johnson. We discussed final strategy for the last weeks. He wished us well, and offered some helpful advice. Saturday, I knocked on doors in Wagner. A beautiful, sunny, warm day. Most of the people were home, so it made for an even better day.
Nest week, I will again go door to door in Gregory, Colome, Burke, Dallas, and Lake Andes. I hope to be able to visit with some of you in those towns. I will also have a day of meetings in Sioux Falls, attending The South Dakota Veterans Council in the morning and the Sioux Falls Regional Telehealth Committee meeting in the afternoon. In the evening, I will be in Yankton for a Board of Directors meeting for the Yankton Concert Assn. We will be choosing the concert entertainment for the 2013-2014 season. I especially enjoy this particular meeting each year.
Well, I have got to get on to other work! So, I'll bid you farewell for now. Veterans, I will talk with you next time about a great program that is free called MOVE. If you need to lose weight, improve a diabetic condition, lower your blood pressure, or reduce cholesterol, this could really be of help. If you're interested now, check with your local VA Clinic or nearest VA Hospital.
