        AARP Community Challenge Grants Can Build Healthier Communities – Deadline is Today

AARP South Dakota invites local eligible organizations and government entities across the state to apply for the 2026 AARP Community Challenge grant program before 4:00 p.m. Central TODAY.

 

Now in its tenth year, the AARP Community Challenge grant program funds quick-action projects to help communities become more livable by improving public spaces, transportation, housing, digital connections and more. The program is part of AARP’s nationwide Livable Communities initiative, which supports the efforts of cities, towns, neighborhoods and rural areas to become great places to live for all residents. Since 2017, AARP has funded 2,100 projects by nonprofit organizations and government entities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands – including more than $414,000 through 40 projects in South Dakota communities.

AARP South Dakota collaborates with communities across the state, bringing people together and providing resources and expertise to help make South Dakota an even better place to live for people of all ages. Past community challenge grants across the state have supported safe walking and biking trails, park improvement projects, community gardens and more.

 

 

    AARP SD Watching Important Issues at the State Capitol – Including Virtual Currency Kiosk Fraud

   AARP South Dakota maintains a presence at the State Capitol in Pierre to monitor issues important to South Dakotans 50-plus and their families. This session, we’re watching issues like property taxes, access to health care, voting access, services for older adults like home care and consumer protection. We enjoyed a great victory yesterday with the passage of Senate Bill 98 (SB98), which now goes to Governor Rhoden for his signature. This bill will add safeguards around Virtual Currency Kiosks to help prevent fraud. SB98 does not prevent the lawful use of virtual currency kiosks, but it does add common-sense safeguards, including clear fee disclosures, daily transaction limits, posted fraud warnings, required receipts and licensing for kiosk operators.

 

    AARP South Dakota led a broad coalition of South Dakota financial organizations and law enforcement officials to advance this bill, which also enjoyed the support of the South Dakota Division of Banking and the South Dakota Attorney General’s Office.

 

 Remember that the Sioux Falls Local Election is June 2 – Mayoral Forum Coming Up

In past years, city residents would be getting ready to go to the polls in April to elect a new mayor and city council members. However, because of a law passed during the 2025 legislative session in Pierre, municipal elections must now align with either the June primary or November general election.  Sioux Falls opted for the June primary date, so we’ll be choosing our next mayor on June 2.  AARP South Dakota is collaborating with Downtown Sioux Falls to present a mayoral forum on March 24 -  just three weeks away – to give residents the first chance to hear from candidates. Watch for more information coming soon on how to livestream the event on both the AARP South Dakota and Downtown Sioux Falls social channels.

----Welcome back to our Working on Wellness Wednesday---this chiropractor visits with us a couple times each month—and we are happy to have—Dr. Joshua Jorde –joining us---

 

  Quite the interesting reminders and hopes for our listeners from you today-------

 

We’re on our way into spring even if it seems to be a leap forward and then a few steps back with the wild temperature changes. Still, I’m hearing a lot more patients bring up spring cleaning both in and outside the home.

 

 Cleaning out pantries, emptying closets, clearing out yard brush, etc. are all things that can be a bit of a strain in general, but especially after a winter of sitting comfy and cozy without

being as physically active.

 Some things to help avoid the pitfalls of jumping into new projects, especially ones that can be a bit labor intensive anyway, are first and foremost to stretch before working on a project that you know is going to be mostly physical and take a half hour or more.  Going to be mostly physical and take a half hour or more. Even just a simple limbering up by going through ranges of motions for the body parts you’ll be using, legs or arms, as well as the neck and back in general, will significantly reduce the likelihood of minor injuries.

    It’s also important to make sure you’re being safe in general depending on what you’re getting up to.

   Think of the tasks you’ll be doing especially if repetitive and what could reasonably go wrong. For example, I had a patient just the other day cleaning out all the cupboards in the kitchen and she’s a little on the shorter side herself, so she was constantly up and down a step ladder. In that case, make sure that you do move it each time you go up or down as needed rather than trying to reach over to the side and risk straining yourself, or worse, falling. Or if going up and down stairs repeatedly such as to store things in the basement, make sure that you don’t carry too much that falling down stairs with that extra weight on top of you could be a real problem. Also make sure you aren’t wearing socks that could

maybe slip since you know you’ll be going up and down more than usual.

    Or if taking things out of storage that you haven’t even seen in years, get a good idea of how heavy bin or tote you’re dealing

with before trying to pull it out so as to avoid over or underestimating it and straining yourself. I know I’ve pulled on totes that I forgot were only full of stuffed animals and nearly fell backward and I’ve also pulled on totes that ended up being full of books and strained myself by trying to tug quickly instead of a

slower, yet more forceful pull with my back protected.

    When it comes to outdoor work, many of the same rules apply, especially being aware of what you’re doing and where you’re going. Be aware of wet leaves, mud patches, loose roots or branches, etc. especially if up or down any hills.





    When dealing with tree limbs, again it’s better to get down and

reposition a ladder than to try and ‘make it work’ by leaning and reaching. Likewise, proper gear is also important. If on ones knees clearing out a garden bad, knee pads while be very important. Work gloves will be equally so if dealing with wood or dry brambles. If you aren’t worried about getting a good grip to avoid slivers or thorns, you can focus more on keeping your back, knees, and shoulders stable when working and lifting, after all.

     Finally, one thing that’s important with either task is to take breaks. For very heavy duty activities, try and take a one minute breather every 15 minutes or so. For less intense, but repetitive tasks or ones where you’re in the same position for awhile, every 30 minutes take a break and stretch/limber up again

for a minute or two.

 

     An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but if you do need to ‘be cured’, we have three doctors eager to help at Jorde Chiropractic Clinic located at 2821 S Center Ave. 605-335-0880

jordechiropractic.com Our office hours are MWF 9-530, TTh 9-1230, and Sat 9-noon.

 

   Nice to have you visit with us---Dr. Joshua Jorde.

-----------just ahead---we’ll introduce you to an a Gettysburg FFA Member who became interested in medicine thru the FAA Agriscience research projects. Hunter Eide---is next

 

9:44/00—KELO Commercials

9:45/30---Wellness Wednesday 4

   I get a chance to visit with a lot of very interesting guests from teenagers to those 70 and 80+

 

   Today---our good friend Gerri Eide---told me about her son—Hunter Eide---a 2nd year med student at the University of Illinois-Chicago---yes the ROCKFORD CAMPUS.

And as I understand it Hunter was a Gettysburg FFA Member who became interested in medicine thru the FFA Agriscience research projects.

 

You might guess---he served as a State FFA officer and really a great example of how agriculture education and YES FFA are building leaders in all fields for the fantastic future of South Dakota----

 

Hunter—good to have you with us-----and it is ironic----the ties I’ve had to Rockford---my Uncle Milton Mahlberg---ran the museum in Rockford---and was married to his wife Norine. Their oldest daughter---Suzie---was a cousin to me---and became quite the medical teacher at an ivy league school.

 

   I liked Rockford—it was a little old looking—but has some very smart people-----and I’m sure you are one of them.

 

   Talk to us about becoming interested in medicine thru the FFA—and what were building leaders in all fields for the future of SD.

------------------Hunter-------------

 

    Your hopes for the medical field after you complete your education------

    How would you encourage others in FFA to get involved and take a look at this field and others….

    Gerri---how many FFA members have looked to and chosen the medical field for their future…..

    Does it surprise you that Hunter did------

 

    We wish you the best---and hope you will talk to us in the future and perhaps encourage others to choose –as you did med school for your future---and the rest of us in South Dakota.

 

   We’ll get you ready for the 10:00—Agri Business Show—when our Working on Wellness Wednesday show continues..

 

9:55/30—KELO Commercials

9:57/30---Wellness Wednesday 4

   10:00 hour—will be our Agri Business show—and yes we’ll check in what they are doing at the Legislature in Pierre….

 

   We’ll include our regulars who give you the morning farm prices, how Plains Commerce Bank--- is the place to ask questions----and perhaps even get more from our Ukrainian transplant to South Dakota---who can talk about what she fears for those being hit by a war in IRAN.

 

   Our time is up—Thank you for yours…
