irst of all, how do you top free? Well, when it comes to Saturday in the Park you do it by offering up bands that most would gladly fork over real money for. This year’s SITP lineup is no different. Ben Harper has long been a favorite of the summer festival scene, and he brings his feel-good vibe to the Grandview Park Bandshell for an 8:45 p.m. show. But that’s not all. Right before Harper, is singer, rapper, producer and reality TV star Cee Lo Green, also known as one half of the Grammy Award-winning duo Gnarls Barkely. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, named one of America’s best new bands in 2010 by Rolling Stone, and the Los Lonely Boys round out the final four bands to hit the stage. And don’t forget about Bonerama, Vermillion, S.D., natives The Kickback and Lazer Rocket Arm. Of course, there’s also food, fun and games for all ages.

Although the pirates I knew about walked around on the deck of their ship with a parrot on their shoulder, I couldn’t go outside with mine. Even though his wings were clipped he could still fly pretty good so he stayed inside. Once I was properly decked out in my pirate outfit I’d go round up the rest of my scurvy crew around the neighborhood. I’d get Mike from across the street and Russell a few doors down. Then sometimes David and Billy from across the street would join in but that only lasted until their grandmother saw what was going on. For some reason she didn’t like us tying them up and making them walk the plank. She didn’t seem to realize not everyone can be a pirate. Like all great pirates we
had a ship. Well it was more like an old refrigerator box but to us it was a threemasted sailing ship complete with the Jolly Roger flag with skull and crossbones attached firmly to a stick I mean mast. We’d sail the Seven Seas and occasionally attack a Spanish Galleon and take their gold doubloons which to outside observers might look a lot like rusty washers but to us they were priceless treasure. Woe be to any who might venture close to our ship and motley crew including the comely wench Sandy who lived next door to me. One day as me hearties and I were searching for ships to plunder she had the nerve to walk right up to the bow of the ship and laugh at us. I pointed my saber at her and gave her warning. “Beware lass lest ye be strung up by
the yardarm,� I growled in my best imitation of Long John Silver. Who could have guessed that slip of a girl could be so quick as to grab my pirate sword and whack me on the head with it before I knew what was happening? I rubbed my sore noggin and watched her walk away. My crew politely looked the other way. “Hoist the anchor,� I yelled. “We need to sail to friendlier waters. And be quick about it.� Those days of sailing the ocean are long gone but the memories remain. I envy actors like Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom and all the rest in the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean. They get to play pirates and they get paid for it too.

AARP released a statement by CEO A. Barry Rand. “Let me be clear – AARP is as committed as we’ve ever been to fighting to protect Social Security for today’s seniors and strengthening it for future generations,� Rand said in the statement. “Contrary to the misleading characterization in a recent media story, AARP has not changed its position on Social Security.� “Our focus has always been on the human impact of changes, not just the budget tables,� Rand added. “We have maintained for years – to our members, the media and elected officials – that long-term solvency is key to protecting and strengthening Social Security for all generations, and we have urged elected officials in Washington to address the program’s long-term challenges in a way that’s fair for all generations.� Social Security’s finances face long-term problems because the massive retirement and disability system is being hit by a wave of retiring baby boomers. Last year, the program started paying out more money in benefits than it collected in payroll taxes. Social Security’s actuaries say the trust funds that support the program will be drained by 2036 unless Congress acts. At that point, the system will collect enough in payroll taxes to pay about 77 percent of benefits. Between now and 2036, the government will have to borrow to meet Social Security’s obligations because the money held in reserve has been spent on other programs. Most experts say they expect any long-term fix to include tax increases and benefit cuts, though the cuts are likely to be limited to future retirees.

the new anti-cancer pills. Medicare supplemental insurance – Medigap – doesn’t cover those copayments. “This is a benefit design issue,” said Dan Mendelson, president of Avalere Health, a research firm that collaborated in a recent medical journal study on the consequences of high copayments for the new cancer drugs. Cost-sharing should only be used to deter wasteful treatment, he explained. “It is hard to make the argument that someone who has been prescribed an oral cancer medication doesn’t need the drug,” added Mendelson. The study last month in the Journal of Oncology Practice found that nearly 16 percent of Medicare beneficiaries did not fill an initial prescription for pills to treat cancer, a significantly higher proportion than the 9 percent of people with private insurance who did not follow through. Forty-six percent of Medicare beneficiaries faced copayments of more than $500, as compared to only 11 percent of patients with private insurance. Among people of all ages, 1 in 4 who faced a copayment over $500 did not fill their prescriptions. Cancer is more prevalent among older people. “Obviously, we’re leaving a lot of
folks off the bus, standing at the curb, if they can’t afford the medications,” said Dr. Lowell Schnipper, who chairs the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s task force on the cost of cancer care. It advises doctors to discuss costs with patients up front, to avoid surprises. Medicare officials say there are currently no plans to rework the design of the prescription benefit. But “nobody is more concerned about access than we are,” said Dr. Jeff Kelman, Medicare’s chief medical officer. For many seniors, the situation is not as bleak as what Moore encountered, Kelman suggested. For example, the prescription plan is designed so beneficiaries who are poor or near poverty face only token copays. For the rest, President Barack Obama’s health care law gradually closes the coverage gap known as the “doughnut hole.” This year, the new law provides a 50 percent discount on brand name drugs for those in the gap. Yet the health care law could be struck down by the courts or repealed if Republicans win the White House and Congress next year. Even if the law stands, assistance after seniors end up in the gap doesn’t take away the initial shock at the pharmacy counter.

July is
sarcoma month
What is Sarcoma?
Sarcomas are cancerous tumors that arise in the connective tissue of the body. Normal connective tissue includes fat, blood vessels, nerves, bones, muscles, deep skin tissues, and cartilage. Each year, about 9,800 Americans are diagnosed with sarcoma, which can develop in both children and adults. With more than 50 different sub-types, sarcomas are divided into two main groups: bone tumors and soft tissue sarcomas. All sarcomas share certain microscopic characteristics and have similar symptoms. Most sarcomas are soft tissue sarcomas, with about 7,800 diagnoses each year. But overall, soft tissue sarcomas comprise about 0.5% of all cancers diagnosed.

COVER STORY
From music to history to wine, southeast South Dakota has it all BY EARL HORLYK Prime staff writer
VERMILLION, S.D. – Nope, that’s not a cannon you see when entering Vermillion, S.D’s National Music Museum. Rather, it’s a jaw-dropping, 10-foot long, 1,000-pound long drum that dates back to 19th century Siam, Thailand. “People think it’s some sort of weaponry,” interim executive director Margaret Downey Banks said of the instrument acquired by the music museum in 1992. “But, in fact, it’s a musical instrument used to signal activities in Buddhist temples and played in festival processions and folk dances.” Founded in 1973 on the University of South Dakota campus at 414 East Clark S., the National Music Museum – home to more than 15,000 American, European and non-Western instruments from virtually all cultures and historical periods – is just one of the unusual places a family can visit during a road trip in Southeast South Dakota. After all, you won’t be able to find a circa 1538 violoncello – the earliest bass instrument of the violin family known to survive – at too many places but the NMM. In case you’re wondering, the instrument was one of 38 built by Andrea Amati and painted and gilded for the French court of King Charles IX. The set was dispersed during the French Revolution

and the NMM acquisition is one of the few that is known to have survived. In fact, the 20,000 square-foot, climate-controlled building has nine galleries teeming with oneof-kind instruments. Ever wanted to see a grand piano as conceived by its inventor? The NMM is the only place in the world where you can see two 18th century grand pianos from Bartolomeo Cristofori. Never seen a real-life Stradavari violin? The NMM’s Witten-Rawlins Collections not only has early Italian stringed instruments crafted by Antonio Stradivari, it also has some crafted by Andrea Guarneri and three generations of the Amati Courtesy photo Family.

GOING BACK IN TIME While in Vermillion, you might also want to visit the W.H. Over Museum, which is located at 1110 Ratingen St. and is home to
South Dakota’s largest collection of natural and cultural history. Conceived by archaeologist William Henry Over and his interest in the history and culture of South Dakota’s Native people, the museum has an outstanding collection of Sioux artifacts and a complete Lakota Family camp. But that’s just a part of what the W.H. Over Museum has in store for visitors. “Visiting the museum is like going back into time ... literally,” said president Maxine Johnson. Some of the most popular exhibits include an Egyptian mummy, an 8 by 10 claim shanty built by a Norwegian ship builder and a 1912 Moline Dreadnaught touring car donated by former Sioux Cityan Elwood Olsen. “When a boy saw the car, he said ‘Holy crap, look at that,’” Johnson said with a laugh. “I think I agree with him.”
Edgar’s turns back time with ice cream delights END THE DAY IN ‘WINE COUNTRY’ One wouldn’t expect to visit to find wine country in Southeast South Dakota but Vermillion’s Valiant Vineyards (1500 W. Main St.) is the home to the state’s first and oldest winery. The winery’s tasting is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week, for wine aficionados and those interested in trying something new and unique. In just three stops in Vermillion, a family can step back into time, explore different and diverse cultures and finish the day, sitting back with a nice Cabernet. What can be easier (and more economical) than that? Eldon Nygaard wrote South Dakota’s Farm Winery Act in 1996. Together with his wife, Sherry, son, Leif, and daughter, Jeanette, they started the first winery in South Dakota by establishing Valiant Vineyards, South Dakota Bonded Winery Number One. Valiant Vineyards Winery, located on the Vermillion River and overlooking the Missouri River is ideally situated close to downtown Vermillion, home of the University of South Dakota. When you visit, you are invited to taste our wines, meander through the Tasting Room, and meet our staff. Our tasting room is open in Summer May through December, Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m to 5 p.m. and in Winter Monday, Friday & Saturday

Walking into Edgar’s Old Fashioned Soda Fountain (inside Pioneer Drug, 107 E. Main St., Elk Point, S.D.), expect to walk into a time warp. Visiting its lovingly restored soda fountain, you will think it’s 1911, not 2011. Which is the way owners Barb and Kevin Wurtz like it. In fact, it was Barb’s grandfather, the late Edgar Schmiedt, who was the original owner of the white marble fountain. “My grandfather was a pharmacist in Centerville, S.D.,” Barb Wurtz explained, “and he had it originally in his drug store.” As the days of the soda fountain inside a drug store faded, the massive counter was moved to the basement of her grandfather’s home. This is where Barb Wurtz remembered playing “restaurant” as a young girl. It wasn’t until 1989 that Schmiedt’s old soda fountain was taken out of retirement. And in the intervening 22 years, Edgar’s has attractment only during the winter months).

ing attention nationally (via a glowing write-up in Jane and Michael Stern’s book “Roadfood) and by thirsty travelers who discover it by accident. “As least a few times, every day, we’ll have folks traveling on I-29 make a turn into Elk Point and discover Edgar’s,” Barb said. “Just the other day, we had folks from Kentucky who were thrilled to death to find an old-fashioned soda fountain.” Whether you’re traveling or if you’re close to home, Edgar’s has a full selection of old-time favorites like
phosphate and pop (think of it as a slightly tart soda) and decadently named desserts as “Calories, Cholesterol & Chocolate” (or CCC, for short) which includes a brownie topped with chocolate ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry on top. “Those are wonderful,” Barb opined. But, mostly folks come in for the memories. “Grandparents bring their grandchildren to experience what it was like when they were kids,” Barb said. “It’s a return to a much more innocent time.”
