Daugaard names Hultman new labor secretary PIERRE – Gov. Dennis Daugaard has announced that he will appoint Marcia Hultman to serve as secretary of the Department of Labor and Regulation. Hultman is currently the department’s deputy secretary, and has served as interim secretary since the retirement of Secretary Pam Roberts in October. “I considered several strong candidates for this position, but found that the best person for the job is already doing the job,” said Daugaard. “Marcia Hultman understands the department’s important work in developing the state’s workforce, helping the unemployed and regulating the banking, insurance and securities sectors. I know she will continue to be a strong leader for the department.” Hultman joined the Department of Labor in 1997 as a public information officer. She has been workforce services division director since 2000, and additionally became the deputy secretary in 2006. Prior to joining the department, Hultman spent 11 years as a high school English teacher. She is a 1986 graduate of Black Hills State University. “I am privileged to serve the Department of Labor and Regulation in this capacity and am grateful for this opportunity from Gov. Daugaard,” said Hultman. “South Dakota faces many workforce challenges, and I’m looking forward to working hard to identify more strategies to meet our needs.” Hultman, a native of Belle Fourche, has resided in Pierre for the past 17 years. She and her Let Our Family Business keep yours in the go with: HULTMAN husband, Brian, have two sons, Riley and Brody. The Department of Labor and Regulation includes the Division of Banking, the Division of Employment Services, the Division of Insurance, the Division of Labor and Management, the Division of Securities, the Division of Unemployment Insurance, and Workforce Services. • Farm Filters • Hydraulic Hoses • Bearings & Seals Cox Auto Read and Recycle If you ask any of my patients, many will tell you I sound like a broken record that keeps repeating the same exercise recommendation. I'm sorry, but over the years I have been convinced that, with few exceptions, no matter what age and condition, no matter what size and shape, daily exercise is the single best thing we can do for ourselves. Although the advent of power chairs has been a godsend for many very disabled people, these mobility helpers can be a harmful thing for the borderline disabled who would benefit from having to walk. I observed one elderly person who purchased a used battery powered chair despite my recommendation against it, and watched how he became weakened and then very disabled over just three months, until his family realized what it was doing to him and took it away. And then like magic, he came back to being mobile again, while not dependent on the mobility aid. That real story clarifies the powerful need we all have to keep moving, today and every day. Discussing independence and preventing falls with a physical therapist yesterday she spoke about the value of core strength to prevent loss of balance. These are important issues especially for those who are in the retirement years. I asked her which exercise would help that core strength and balance best and the answer was daily walking. Say it again: daily walking. One gentleman shared with me yesterday that he finally began the exercise program advised, and was pleasantly surprised how much better he felt and how much he has enjoyed the daily two mile walk with the dog. "Walk even through this cold winter sub-zero weather, but you need to dress warm enough," he advised. "And your dog will enjoy it too!" "I walk today, so I can walk tomorrow," my 95 year old aunt Audrey exclaimed. Those were her actual words and although she has been gone for years, her encouragement to stay mobile has been the perfect theme song for a geriatrician caring for the elderly... and for people of all ages too. So, don't lose it. You just have to have discipline to walk, today and every day.
