School Board meeting, 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, Septem- ber 12, 7:00 p.m. ~ by Robyn Jones ~ ~ by Ronda Dennis ~ ~ by Ronda Dennis ~ Secretary of State Jason Gant has announced that September is Voter Registration Month in South Dakota. Voting is one of the great privi- leges afforded Americans by way of citizenship. We want to recognize the importance of living in a coun- try where you have a say in who represents you in government and how it operates, Gant said. In the last presidential election in 2008, six million people reported they failed to vote because they didnt know how to register or missed the registration deadline. I want to make sure that doesnt happen in South Dakota. Voting is the cornerstone of a democracy. In order for eligible cit- izens to cast a ballot, they must register to vote. Therefore, Gant is working alongside organizations including the National Association of Secretaries of State and Rock the Vote to promote awareness of voter registration, culminating in Na- tional Voter Registration Day on Sept. 25. Gant urged those who are thinking about conducting voter registration drives to carefully read instructions and laws. To be eligible to register to vote in South Dakota, a person must be a United States citizen, a resident of South Dakota and at least 18 years old on or before the next elec- tion; a registrant must not be serv- ing a felony sentence or not judged mentally incompetent by a court of law. Complete instructions about how to register to vote in South Dakota can be found online at sdsos.gov. County Auditors admin- ister voter registrations for resi- dents of their counties, and voter registration forms can be filled out and delivered in person or mailed to these offices. Eligible South Dakotans may also register to vote at city finance offices, driver licens- ing stations, public assistance agencies including TANF and WIC, Department of Human Services of- fices providing assistance to the disabled and military recruitment offices. The deadline for voter registra- tion is 15 days before any election in South Dakota. The deadline is Oct. 22 for the 2012 General Elec- tion on Nov. 6. Here is a link to the Executive Proclamation. September is voter registration month for General Election Gov.

Home- coming week will be September 17 through 21, and the Kadoka Area High School Student Council is busy getting things organized for this exciting time of year. This years theme is Rock n Roll, allowing imaginative minds to come up with different rock n roll ideas for their individual floats. The scheduled theme/dress up days for Kadoka Area district schools are as follows: Monday - Jersey Day (wear your favorite sports team jersey) Tuesday - Whiteout Day (stu- dents are encouraged to wear white) Wednesday - Grandparents Day (6-12 in Kadoka dress like a grand- parent) and Cowboy Day (pre-5 and K-8 in outlying schools) Thursday - Nerd Day Friday - Purple and Gold Day There will be a Powder Puff Football fundraiser on Monday Kadoka student council ready for homecoming Friday, September 21 Kadoka Community Betterment Association held their monthly meeting on Thursday, September 6 at Jiggers Restaurant with 13 members in attendance. The treasurers report, given by Cindy Wilmarth, showed a balance on hand of $10,993.20. The associ- ation members approved paying the CBS billboard bill in the amount of $1,650. The homecoming pancake sup- per was discussed. The cheerlead- ers will be holding a pep rally that Friday morning and asked that ta- bles and chairs be set up following the pep rally. Shawna Bendt asked KCBAs permission to allow her niece, Cal- ista Kirby, who is Miss South Dakota, to hold at meet and greet during the pancake supper. Bendt said Kirby will not be selling any- thing, but will do autographs. Kirby will also be at Peoples Mar- ket on Thursday and in the home- coming parade on Friday. The request was approved. KCBA also reminds businesses to help out and donate items for the drawings at the pancake supper. The members looked at two set ups for a new Kadoka sign. After making and recinding a motion, they decided to go with a simple sign reading Kadoka across the top, Exits 150 & 152 and Full Serv- ice Community at the bottom. KCBA plans for homecoming council not a quorum; and it was questioned what happens if the vote is delayed until September and there still is not a full council present. Mayor Weller made the decision to postpone the vote until the Sep- tember 10 meeting. The August minutes did not clarify if the full council needed to be present. The council members agreed to proceed with the vote. A motion carried to approve Res- olution No. 2012 - 1R to adopt the Comprehensive Plan. With Brad Jorgensen casting the only no vote, it was approved 4-1. The council held the first read- ing of the 2013 Appropriation Ordi- nance. It was noted that there will be no tax increase. Prior to approving a plat for Boyd Letellier, Jorgensen excused himself from the meeting, due to a conflict of interest (dealing with land exchanges). The plat was ap- proved. Jorgensen was absent from the remainder of the meeting. Also under new business was an agenda item to discuss the junk ve- hicle ordinance. No discussion was held. Under the water/sewer report, Ryan Willert questioned the old water tower. Discussion will con- tinue at a later meeting. Patrick Solon presented figures for a new propane tube heater for the city shop which would replace the fuel oil furnace. The price quote was $5,328.58, however, it did not include wiring or purchasing a propane tank. Currently, there is no heat at the shop. It was decided to wait until all the final figures come in and then take action on the purchase. In Prangs absence, Willert said the inspection at the rubble site went well, however, the barbed wire fence needs to be fixed; a few posts replaced and the wires stretched. Under the liquor report it was reported that karaoke is scheduled, Bingo and Poker are starting. The bar manager advertised liquor and beer sales in the local newspaper and the Profit. Chief of Police Woody Davis said a big concern is the number of skunks in Kadoka. Traps are placed at various locations in town. The biggest problem, he believes, is at the Triple E Motel where he has trapped at least six skunks. He said there are numerous holes and entry points on the west side of the motel. Mayor Weller asked the council for direction on how to proceed with the issue. Willert asked that the mayor visit with the motel owner, Joe Handrahan, and re- quest that repairs be done. A special meeting was set for Monday, September 24, 7 p.m., for the 2nd reading of the Appropria- tion Ordinance. The October and November meeting dates will fall on holidays, which the city observes. However, it was decided to leave the meet- ings as scheduled. The Kadoka City Council met for the regular meeting Monday, September 10 with 12 visitors in attendance. Council member Kieth Prang was absent. The minutes for the regular meeting on August 13 were not ap- proved, due to the absence of Prang. The August 22 minutes were approved, along with the bills and the financial statement. Under citizens input Rich Bendt presented a list of prices for mate- rials for new bleachers, dugouts, a fence, a concession stand and crows nest at the main baseball field. However, he noted that the conces- sion stand and crows nest were not at the top of importance. He said the Little League would do the work. During discussion, it was said that if the ballfield was up- graded, it would pull in more games and tournaments for all ages. Because it wasnt an agenda item, there was no action taken. Glenn Freeman commended the city for the work being done to take down the old elevator. The comprehensive plan was the next item on the agenda for consideration. Weller said without a full council present and the city not having a phone system to make a conference call (in the auditorium annex), how to proceed was discussed. Before the council took any ac- tion, Bob Fugate said he wanted to clarify that at the August meeting Harry Weller had decided to post- pone the vote until there was a full council. Rich Bendt added that he felt they needed to move forward with action for economic development. He then quoted the minutes from the August 13 meeting, which had not been approved earlier. Those minutes only mentioned a suggestion of voting will a full City council approves adoption of comprehensive plan on 4-1 vote BHSU to celebrate Swarm Days Black Hills State University homecoming celebration will be Monday, Sept. 17 through Satur- day, Sept. 22. This years theme is Operation: Swarm Days to show support for the deployed 842nd Na- tional Guard Unit. The homecoming parade is Sat- urday morning. Other homecoming events include coronation, hike to the H, disc golf tournament, tail- gate social and the homecoming football game versus the Colorado Mesa University Mavericks. A complete Swarm Days sched- ule is available at www.BHSU.edu/SwarmDays. The 10th Annual Line Patrol Charity Ride for motorcycles and cars was held on September 15. This year over 280 participants from several electric co-ops in South Dakota and many from out of state, took part in the ride. The ride started on Saturday morning from Wall, looped south on the Badlands Loop to Cactus Flat. After a brief stop there, they con- tinued on to Kadoka where lunch was served. The tour then traveled south to Wanblee, through Interior and that evening after arriving back at Wall, the event concluded with supper and a benefit auction. The annual ride is organized by South Dakota Rural Electric Coop- erative (SDREA) and is used to raise funds for the South Dakota rural electric accident victims fund. Initially the fund was for em- ployees injured while working, al- though now the fund also helps employees and their families who are suffering non-work related in- juries or illnesses, such as cancer, premature births or accidents. The ride has grown in numbers every year since it began in 2002. South Dakota electric co-ops em- ploy almost 1,000 people statewide. To date, more than 70 separate in- cidences have been awarded funds from this project.

Sept. - May Church Calendar 2 Chronicles 20:14-30 When trouble loomed, the first thing that Je- hoshaphat did was to turn attention to God and pro- claim a fast throughout Judah (2 Chron. 20:3) People came from all around to support their king in prayer (v. 13). Sometimes we are too proud to ask others to pray for us. Jehoshaphat was a king, yet he wasn't so self-sufficient that he wouldn't admit his army paled in comparison to the three forces united against him. He recognized his limitations and sought divine intervention. Though Jehoshaphat reigned over his subjects, he nevertheless called on them for prayerful support. One of the wisest things we can do in the midst of difficulty is to engage the assistance of someone who knows how to talk to God. The body of Christ depends upon cooperation. When the people of Judah began to pray, God provided a solution through a trusted prophet. Jehoshaphat was humble enough to listen and wise enough to follow his directives (vv. 14-17). As a result, his people were saved. The advanc- ing armies turned against each other and destroyed themselves completely. Without shooting an arrow or drawing a sword, Judah's forces suffered not even one casualty. Because their humble king listened, they witnessed the Lord's remarkable victory (vv. 22-30). We have to attune our ears to God's voice in order to hear Him. Sometimes He speaks through people we would not choose to follow, and He often says things we're not expecting to hear. But He will provide us with solutions to our problems if we are willing to listen to Him.

Choosing Healthy Salads Countless individuals gravitate towards eating salads when they want to eat healthier or to reduce calories in their diet. However, many individuals idea of a tasty salad includes high calorie ingre- dients such as salad dressings, chow mein noodles, crackers, crou- tons, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, seeds and other assorted toppings. A salad can become a calorie-loaded choice if the right selections arent made when creat- ing your favorite salad. Salads can offer a lower calorie meal for those looking for a light lunch or dinner. Its all about preparing them correctly and knowing what to add and what to leave out. The goal is to choose in- gredients high in nutrients, fiber and taste, but low in calories and fat. The USDAs Choose My Plate recommends that individuals con- suming 2,000 calories per day should eat two and a half cups of vegetables daily. Start with a base of darker colored greens, such as romaine or leaf lettuce. The darker the lettuce, the more nutrients it has. Iceberg head lettuce is pale green colored and is low in nutri- ents. Almost any raw vegetables can be used in a salad. Consider tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, onions, mushrooms and carrots. Vegetables are a good source of fiber, which doesnt add calories or fat, but helps you feel full longer. Choose low-fat or fat-free salad dressing and place in a small con- tainer. Dip your fork in the dress- ing before each bite. Youll have the flavor of the dressing in each bite, but this will reduce the amount of dressing you use. Consider sprin- kling fresh lemon juice over the salad to add moisture and perk up the flavor, without adding sodium and fat. Chopped apples, sliced straw- berries and mandarin oranges all go well with salad greens. Fruit is a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals. Add navy, kidney or garbanzo beans to your salads. Beans are fat-free and add fiber, flavor and protein. An optimal serving of navy beans is 1/4 cup which con- tains 4 grams of both fiber and protein, with only 65 calories. Add grilled chicken, salmon or plain tuna as good choices of low-fat pro- tein. A three-ounce serving of skin- less, roasted chicken breast has 130 calories. Two cooked egg whites add 8 grams of protein, for less than 50 calories. Cheese can add protein to a salad, but limit its useit also raises calories and fat. For nutrition, crunch and flavor, try adding dry roasted, unsalted nuts to salads. Sparkpeople.com provides a Salad Bar Guide that lists the food amounts, calories and fat grams of numerous salad ingredients at http://bit.ly/1W4Wbd. Healthy sal- ads can be configured to include foods from every food grouplet your imagination be your guide.

I think hummingbirds must have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hy- peractivity Disorder). They are such extremely busy little critters that theyre apt to give you the jit- ters just watching them. As you might guess, a hum- mingbird visited us the other day. It was so tiny that I might have passed it off as a moth if wife Corinne hadnt pointed it out to me. There it was zipping from one morning-glory blossom to another in rapid succession. Then it might blast off over east a bit or up over the roof and back. Next it would revisit all the blossoms. It was somewhat of a relief when it fi- nally flew off and didnt return. Actually, to the best of my recol- lection, this is only the second hummingbird Ive ever seen in my life. The first time was so long ago that it might now be classed as fairly ancient history. Corinne had been telling me shed seen this pe- tite bird a couple times this sum- mer, but yesterday was my first time. It was too small, too far away, and much too busy to get a good look at so positive identifica- tion has been delayedpossibly forever. Odds are it was of the ruby-throated variety since those are the most common. As you may know, these birds are unique in that they are sort of the helicopters of the bird world. They move their wings so quickly that they are a blur, and they can hover as well as move in any direc- tionup, down, left, right, for- wards and backwards. They may be the only bird that can fly back- wards. Since they are so unique, it was kind of fun to actually see one, but, due to their nervousness, I was satisfied with just a brief look. All this hyperactivity reminded me strongly of son Chances early years. He was one busy kid. We might think he was quietly watch- ing TV in the living room until we looked out the window and saw him dancing down the ridgepole of the barn. Keeping up with that boy was often a challenge. Now since Chance has developed myasthenia gravis, the tables have turned and some days he barely moves. Im not sure which condition is harder to deal with. Something in the middle might be easier for all in- volved. Thinking of hyperactivity also reminds me of a fellow named Rich who used to come hunting on our place. He was actually an aide to U. S. Senator Tom Daschle, and we got acquainted with him when Senator Daschle was helping us fight off having a 6,000-acre dump built on our east border complete with railroad spurs and other un- desirable features. Rich, though, was definitely hy- peractive which went well with his somewhat reddish hair. I recall the day he came hunting with several friends who all ate dinner with us at our invitation. It had rained overnight so the guys had slogged around in mud that morning and been led by Rich all over including up hill and down dale. They were pretty tired by noon. Right after eating, Rich was all ready to head out again, but the other guys werent. Instead, they went out- side, laid flat out in the sun in the yard, and fell into exhausted sleep. You could tell Rich thought this was a great waste of time although he tried to join them. That didnt work out, though, and before long he had everybody up and going again. I suspect those fellows slept really well that night. One day I noticed a contraption on the dash of Richs vehicle and asked what it was. He said it was a fuzz buster or radar detector. I imagine going the speed limit seemed painfully slow to someone who was always in high gear. This fellow also went through several wives which I rather assume was because he was exhausting to live with despite the fact that he was pleasant and likeable. Unfortu- nately, Rich died at a relatively young age from cancer, but it is fairly possible that he packed as much living into his few years as some of us have accomplished in more time. Today I didnt see any hum- mingbirds. Instead, a large turtle appeared in the birds flower patch. Talk about a contrast. The turtle sat perfectly still on the re- taining wall for quite a long time so I could easily tell his shell was dark green above and many bright shades of red, orange and yellow below. He was quite a pretty fellow and didnt appear to have a nerv- ous bone in his body. He did in- spect the area by moving his head back and forth a few times, but thats about all he did. After awhile, I guess he decided he should go east for some reason, after which he ambled off that way until eventually he was out of sight. He certainly didnt jangle my nerves, obviously, but he was maybe just a little boring to watch. Okay, a lot boring. My observations of wildlife this week have therefore shown that apparently there is room in this world for both the speedy and the slow and all points in between. Thats probably a good thing, dont you imagine? Busy, Busy, Busy Lookin Around by Syd Iwan Marie Addison started celebrat- ing her 90th birthday back in mid- August with a gathering of her kids and other relatives at Dagmar, Montana, where she grew up. This week she continued celebrating with a family gathering at the Belvidere church hall on Saturday. Besides most of her kids, Dan, Mary, Jim and DJ Addison were there as were Kathleen and Joe Leutenegger and Shawna Bendt. Oliver, Jerry, Cindy and Jim Willert also came and others. The event started with dinner at noon and continued on well into the af- ternoon. Marie said it was just a wonderful affair. Then on Sunday, Marie was at church in Belvidere with her daughters, Beryl and Jean, who helped provide a big birthday cake for people to enjoy at the coffee time after services. That cake was for both Kate DeVries and Marie since Kates birthday was on Sunday and Maries would be on Monday the 10th. Marie said she was a little tired from all the activ- ity and didnt have any major plans except rest on Monday which is her actual birthday. Her daughters re- minded her that she would proba- bly get a number of phone calls that day so a good rest might have to wait until Tuesday. Chuck Willard was visited by his daughter, Niki, this weekend. She helped move some cows on Satur- day and helped with chores. Since Merry is currently in Wyoming with daughter Coleen, Nikis help was appreciated. Chuck said his new chickens have started laying, and he took a few pullet eggs to his mom, Pat, in Philip. Pat claimed they were the best-tasting eggs shed had in a long time. Chuck told her it was probably because theyd been raised partly on Willard Water which is the useful substance invented by Chucks uncle. Gail Reutter and Joe Handra- han went to Hill City last weekend and rode the 1880 Train to Oblivion and other parts of the Black Hills. Since one cant live permanently in Oblivion, Gail and Joe enjoyed the trip but then came back home. Larry and Joy Dolezal were sort of visited by their granddaughter, Joanna Nemec, this weekend. It was only sort of since Joanna worked at the Kadoka Nursing Home, so she got up early and left and then returned home fairly late and went soon to bed. Joanna is a junior at the School of Mines in Rapid City, and her sister, Kayla, is starting as a freshman there. This only leaves Dale at home with their folks, Jim and Carmen. The rest have partly flown the coop. Harold and Ruvonne Dennis spent Friday and Saturday night at the home of Rick and Ronda Den- nis. Lori, Aaron, Carter and Taya Iversen joined in Saturday night for Indian tacos. Glenn Freeman went to Thur- man, Iowa, recently to a family re- union. This is the area where his folks were raised in the late 1800s. Only two of his original twelve cousins are left, but offspring of the others are still around. Thurman had a bad tornado last year and is in the process of recovery. Glenn has attended this reunion many times and still enjoys it. From there, he visited friends named Tegtmeier who used to come out here frequently but who now both have cancer. Glenn said his son, Jimmie, has been gone over a week visiting his kids in Des Moines. He will visit his brother, Bryan, this week near the twin cities before re- turning home. Chris and Terry Baldwin and girls attended a Hoffman family re- union at the Quinn hall this week- end. Terrys mom, Lorna, was a Hoffman. Also there were Scot and Jodie OBryan and their son, Tay- lor, and his oldest son, Thomas. Taylor didnt bring his wife and new son along from Yankton which gave him several black marks from his folks who are eager to meet their newest grandchild. Brett and Tammy Prang also were at the re- union. Jo Rodgers spent a day in Allen this week conducting job inter- views for the postal service. She doesnt do the hiring, just the inter- views. Allen, according to Jo, is be- tween Martin and Batesland and fifteen miles into the unknown. This week, Jo will be working at the Kadoka and White River post offices. Although she is officially the postmaster at Murdo, she is only scheduled to work there five days this month. At present, the post office people have found her useful in doing other work for them than just the daily duties at Murdo. Working in Kadoka this week will be handy, since on one of her days there, son Jory will play his first football game of the season, which means Jo will already be there to cheer him on and not have to make a special trip. Jory is now in the seventh grade and has grown to five foot eight inches. Betty Kusick went fishing on Sunday with her son and grandson, Kenny and Kevin. She caught her limit and cleaned the lot and stuck them in the refrigerator for later eating or freezing. On the 4th, her kids all came and helped her cele- brate her birthday with cake, ice cream and the works. This was a surprise affair. Those coming in- cluded Kenny, Loretta and Kathy and their spouses. Judy Brewer of Rapid City also came by and wished her well. On Wednesday, Betty caught a ride south with Crystal Paulson and spent the day visiting Joe Livermont. Betty and Joe went to Martin during the day before Betty caught her ride back home. Bunny Green and Cheryll Wells went to Kadoka on Thursday for groceries and supplies. On Friday, Betty Kusick came over for cake, coffee, and a nice visit. This week, Bunny is planning to accompany her daughter, Darlene Wiedemer, to Pierre for a couple of days with granddaughter, Ruthie. Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience. George Washington Rev. Glenn Denke had a busy Sunday, September 2 as he con- ducted the 8 a.m. service at St. John, then the 11 a.m. service at St. Peter and finished up the day with the evening service at the Lords Warriors Church at Parmelee. The Rev. Andrew Utecht and family were at the South Dakota State Fair doing five shows a day at The Puppet Place. It is the 40th year that the Utechts and crews have been doing puppet shows at there. Howard and Nette Heinert were in Valentine on September 2 for a memorial service for Walter Hein- ert at the Cherry Hills Estates. Later they visited Lonny and Doris Lenser in their home in Valentine. Friday, September 7 Howard and Nette visited Howards uncle, Earl Weiss, in the VA Hospital, where he is battling pneumonia. Earl just celebrated his 84th birthday Au- gust 23. Saturday Doris Lenser visited Howard and Nette and went away with some garden produce that Nette shared with her. Later that evening Howard and Nette visited Jerry Hicks and Jenny. Saturday morning Chris and Beau Heinert, Chris Letellier, and Stanley Heinert were in Mission bright and early to take the PACK test for firefighters. They all passed the test and are now certified fire fighters. That afternoon Chris and Beau were at Tafts helping work cattle there. Then they went on to help with some machinery at the Jerry Hicks place. Sunday, September 2 Debbie Ring met the airplane in Rapid City that brought her friends, Tina, and her husband and their sons, Mark and Ken, from Japan. They toured the Black Hills for a couple days, and then Tuesday came down to the Robert and Sharon Ring home. They filled every day with activities in the area, such as watching the Blotskes grain clean- ing crew in action, vaccinating cat- tle one day and freeze branding the next day at the Rings, visiting the Karys and looking over their buf- falo, checking out the livestock and other activities at Bruce and Jessie Rings, taking in the garden tour at Gale and JoAnn Letelliers, and visiting Torey and Linda a couple evenings, and also using their com- puters to catch up on things over the Internet. Debbie took them back to Spearfish for a few days be- fore they fly back home to Japan. September 2 Bruce and Jessie Ring and family went to the Black Hills and toured the Big Thunder Gold Mine and Mill. Then they all panned for gold, and brought back their treasure in those little glass containers. They also found time to hit a special ice cream place and in- dulge in some double dip cones. Tuesday it was back to school again. Wednesday Jessie went to Nette Heinerts to pick beans and cucumbers while June stayed with Risa and Riley. Thursday Jessie hosted St. John LA-LWML at her home in the afternoon. St. John Sunday School began again after the summer break. They actually began with the finish that had been promised the end of May. Teacher Sharon had promised her class that they would end the Sunday School year with a Make your Own Pizza Party, but it didnt work out then, so she started out this year with that promised party. She had the dough and toppings all prepared; that way the children could all form and fill their own in- dividual pizzas. As one batch was baking, they were busy preparing the next batch. When they were done they shared the extra pizzas with teachers, parents and pastor. Friday, August 31, Gary and Anne Heinert headed east and met up with their daughter, Erin, at the SD State Fair in Huron. They spent the night in Sioux Falls and returned to the fair the next day with their son, Paul, taking in even more of the fair. This past weekend Gary took some time off at the request of his brother, Everett, and took part in a golf tournament fundraiser in Hulett, WY. It benefitted the FFA, and was organized by Everetts brother-in-law. Anne was busy making zucchini relish while Gary was gone, as Gary does not relish the onion/vinegar aroma permeat- ing the house in the process. Cliff Allard took Pam to the casino to celebrate her birthday Friday, September 7. Later the Tafts came to help them dequill a cow that had her face and front too close to a porcupine. Maxine Allard rode to Rapid City with Evan and Dorothy Bligh on Saturday. They took her to Stan and Ivy Allards home, where Sharon Allard of Spearfish joined them. They had lunch at the Golden Corral, where her grand- son, Daniel, was added to the party. Daniels wife, Jessie, and her mother were busy elsewhere at a birthday celebration. The Blighs and Maxine returned Saturday evening. Sunday afternoon visitors at Maxines home were Harry and Tim Merchen. In the break time between com- bining crops, the Hubers have been rebuilding the dam near their house, and are amazed at all the wildlife that is flocking to the water. Kenda Hubers brothers and sis- ter are having a reunion in Murdo this weekend at the home of her brother, Shevron Nelson. Brother Bradley Nelson and wife did live in Jacksonville, Florida, but have pur- chased a home in the Philippines and are moving there, as his wife comes from the Philippines. Sister Valerie Loninger comes from Penn- sylvania. They will spend some time with Bill and Kenda and fam- ily, too. David and Jonathan Huber went fishing in Pierre Sunday. Jim and Marjorie Letellier were in Miller on Friday for the football game at Sunshine Bible Academy with Wolsey/Wessington. Grandson DJ Beckwith is on the football team. Julie also went with them to the game. Saturday Julie was with them again as they joined the peo- ple at the garden tour at Gale and JoAnn Letelliers home. Paul, LuAnn and Cassie Beckwith and Samantha Manna made it down from Pierre to barely get in on the garden tour before it got too dark. They were overnight guests at Jim and Marjories, and the next morn- ing Andrea and Cassie Beckwith and Samantha sang a special song for them in church on Sunday in honor of Grandparents Day. Grandson Jace Burma called with the happy news on Saturday that he had participated in his first cross country race, and came in first. This was for middle school children. Bill and Marjorie Letellier were visited by JoAnn Letellier last Tuesday and Thursday Pastor Denke called on them. Not much school news from Bob- bie Kelley, other than that home- coming week is coming up next week. Samantha Taft headed back to Vermillion again after the Labor Day break. The Tafts worked cattle a couple times last week. Friday Susan went to pick up Morgan after the football game with Philip. Morgan plays in the pep band. Richard and Clarence Krogman and Bob and Marilyn Kent went to Winner on August 25 for the Blaine Krogman horse sale. On the 26th, Noreen Krogman attended the DNP quilting session in Mission that Sunday afternoon. Bob and Marilyn Kent headed back to Cali- fornia on the 27th. Saturday, September 1 Noreen traveled to Wall for the 80th birth- day celebration of twins, Vern For- tune and Vera Nelson, at the Wall Community Center. Following that she went out to Mark and Carolyns home and stayed overnight with them. She had a good visit with them and headed home Sunday af- ternoon. In the meantime, hus- band, Richard, was at Steve and Eunice Krogmans horse sale in Valentine Sunday afternoon. On Labor Day, Noreen and Richard took dinner down to Clarence and Ellen. September 7 Richard was in White River for the football game against Philip. One morning this past week, when Noreen was doing her chicken chores in the dark before heading for work, she heard a rat- tlesnake in the chicken house and immediately fled the premises, not even shutting the door on her way out. She informed Richard of the invasion, and he went down to get rid of the big snake. Since then, Noreen makes sure she turns the light on in those early dark hours, and does not just depend on that little light attached to her cap. Sunday afternoon it was DNP quilting time again in Mission and Noreen and Rose Ruff made it for the day. Susan and Morgan Taft stopped to visit Kaitlyn at the Ferguson home on Monday afternoon. Ed and Carol took Kaitlyn back to Rapid on Tuesday. Ed and Carol Ferguson were in Pierre on Friday on business.

No other details are known at this time. Leila was a longtime resident in Washabaugh- County and lived at the Gateway Apartments before moving to Spearfish. Gov. Dennis Daugaard has pro- claimed Sept. 9 15 as Suicide Prevention Week in South Dakota. Suicide occurs across all age, economic, social, and ethnic bound- aries, and is now the tenth leading cause of all deaths in the United States and the ninth leading cause of all deaths in the state of South Dakota. This years theme, Collabora- tions in Suicidology: Bridging the Disciplines, emphasizes the need for all health care professionals to work together, at the local level, to help prevent future suicides in the state, said Gib Sudbeck, Program Manager, with the State Depart- ment of Social Services Prevention Program. Suicides may be prevented when suicidal behaviors are detected early and individuals are referred to services and supports. Help can be obtained in South Dakota com- munities for the assessment and treatment of suicidal behaviors and their underlying causes. If you be- lieve there is a suicide risk, contact a professional immediately. Call the suicide crisis hotline at 1-800- 273-TALK (8255), a family physi- cian, a psychiatrist, a medical emergency room, or a community mental health center in your area.

Paula Vogelgesang is very active in this organization and ladies from Belvidere, Kadoka, Philip and Ne- braska do the cutting and quilting. While gone to Sturgis, Sydne got to visit briefly with Barb and Bill Renning of Valentine, NE. They had been to Sheridan, WY, to a golf tournament in which their grand- daughter was a participant.

Bran- ders are encouraged to reserve a time to burn their brand. For fur- ther information about the days activities or costs, contact the Rodeo Center at 605-494-1094. Casey Tibbs SD Rodeo Center to host branding event and more Continued from front page The fund was originally estab- lished to assist employees who were injured on the job. While Workers Comp covers the employ- ees medical costs, it does not cover travel, food and motel costs of the employees family. The goal is to as- sist with these expenses. Not only is money raised with the ride but a large amount is raised by selling t- shirts and from the donated items sold at the auction at the conclu- sion of the ride. Each year the ride tours a differ- ent geographical area covered by the states 28 distribution electric cooperatives. Though other varying fundraising projects are held throughout the year by different co- ops, this ride produces the largest amount for the fund. Employee safety is a top priority of the cooperatives and fortunately work place injuries are rare. A de- cision was made by the SDREA to broaden the fund to include natu- ral disasters or serious medical sit- uations experienced by the employees or their immediate fam- ily. To date, $69,000 has been do- nated to help cooperative employees through some very seri- ous issues. There are approximately 905 co- operative employees throughout the state of South Dakota which forms one large cooperative family. These cooperative employees and directors donate time and money to fund the charity and participate in the ride. As the event has grown it continues to build those friend- ships statewide and provides a sense of paying it forward. The recipients of the fund and the peo- ple who participate know they are part of a large family looking out for one another. Burger, brats and the fixings lunch was served at the Kadoka West Central Electric warehouse to those taking part in the ride. --photo by Robyn Jones Bikers ride for a charity Sports September 13, 2012 Kadoka Press Page 5 Snacks Food Coffee Ice Beer Pop Groceries DISCOUNT FUEL Kadoka Oil Co.

In the girls varsity Scout Sud- beck placed 4th with a time of 18:12 and taking 8th place was Vistoria Letellier with a time of 19:03. SDHS Cross Country rankings, as voted by the head coaches was released on Sept. 11 and ranks Kadoka girls varsity team tied for 3rd/4th position with 3.5. In the boys junior high division Bobby Anderson had a time of 16:24 and took first place. Cross country team competes in Wall On Tuesday, September 4 the Kadoka volleyball team hosted the Lady Mustangs of Little Wound School. Kadoka defeated Little Wound 25-17, 25-13, 25-17. Tessa Stout had 11 points and 3 aces. Raven Jorgensen and Shaley Herber each had 6 kills and 2 blocks. Taylor Merchen had 12 assists. On Thursday, September 6, the Lady Kougars played at home against the Wall Eagles. Wall defeated Kadoka 25-23, 25- 21, 22-25, 25-13. Kwincy Ferguson had 10 service points and 1 ace, and Raven Jorgensen had 7 service points and 3 aces. Shaley Herber had 8 kills. Taylor Merchen had 11 assists and Tessa Stout added 9 more. This was a hard-fought match where we had a 17-12 lead in the first set and a 21-16 lead in the sec- ond set but we couldn't hold on. This was a hard match, but Wall just simply attacked better than us and they served with more power. On Saturday, September 8 the Lady Kougars played in the Philip Tournament. Belle Fourche defeated Kadoka 25-18, 25-11. Sully Buttes defeated Kadoka 25-12, 25-17. Harding County defeated Kadoka 20-25, 25-16, 25-22. Kadoka defeated Philip 22-25, 25-19, 25-15. Harding County defeated Kadoka 25-7, 25-23. Kadoka placed 6th out of eight teams in the Philip Tournament. We were first defeated by two high quality teams, Belle Fourche and Sully Buttes. Then we faced Hard- ing County which has made state tournament appearances in the past. We then played Philip in the loser's bracket and defeated them in three sets. Losing the first set, the girls did not get down, and they battled back to win the next two. I was very proud of them. In the loser's bracket finals we faced off with Harding County again, losing in two sets. We had a huge lead of 22- 12 in the second set but let it slip away. They had a strong server at the times, played solid defense and we just couldn't get a kill. This is area (attacking) where we have been struggling with. We are a very solid defensive and serving team, but need to make big strides in our attack game. Overall I was satis- fied with the tournament. I knew that our pool was very strong with Belle Fourche, Sully Buttes and Harding County and that we would have to play well to get a single victory. And, we almost did, losing to Harding County in a close 3rd set. Beating Philip sort of salvaged the day for us and gave us something positive to take away from the tournament. Kwincy Ferguson and Raven Jorgensen each ended with 21 kills on the day, Taylor Merchen and Tessa Stout had 25 and 24 set as- sists, respectively, and Marti Her- ber had 24 service points and 7 aces and Tessa Stout added 21 service points and 5 aces. Volleyball team competes in two matchups, one tournament last week Ammons, Kenar and Chandlier were able to make some really big runs as we ground it out in the sec- ond half. I cant say enough about the guys up front and the blocking they did this week again, theyve been instrumental in our ground game this year. We only passed the ball for a total of seven yards this week, but three of those yards came on a two-point conversion from Kenar VanderMay to Logan Ammons that put us up by 10 points late in the fourth quarter, that turned out to be a very big conversion for us. Defensively, coach Sudbeck had the boys playing at the top of their game again this week. Led once again by Clint Stout with 15 tackles and Chance Knut- son with 9 tackles and 1 fumble re- covery, the defense held the Raiders powerful rushing attack in check most of the night. We got a huge game out of our defensive line this week as Logan Ammons led the way with 9 tackles and 1 sack, Klay ODaniel had 7 tackles and True Buchholz with 7 tackles and 2 sacks. I felt that our defensive line also controlled the line of scrimmage and our line backers were able to contain two very talented running backs from Lyman. We did have some plays that we gave up in the passing game, but as strong as a rushing attack as they have, its tough on our outside linebackers to cover both, but they did a good job for the most part. Defensively we did a nice job of tackling as Sam Pretty Bear ended with 8 tackles, Kenar VanderMay had 7, Lane Patterson 6, Chandlier Sudbeck 5, Logan Christensen 2, and Gavin DeVries and Herbie O- Daniel each had 1. Overall I was pleased with our performance. The second half we seemed to find our stride offen- sively and our defense did another fine job of always keeping us in the game. Our offensive and defensive lines really stepped up and our backs did a great job of finding the holes and taking care of the foot- ball. Our entire team really earned this win and Im really happy for them because Lyman has a good football team and winning a close game like that after losing a close one last week is exactly what we needed. This week the schedule contin- ues to be challenging as we travel to Wall to take on the Eagles. Wall upended New Underwood last week 31-20 in a game that was back and forth until Wall gained control in the fourth quarter. Its most likely going to be another bat- tle Friday night, just the way foot- ball should be, so if youre looking for some good entertainment come check out your 2012 Kougars in Wall Friday night at 7:00. --by coach Chad Eisenbraun Kadoka Area 22 Lyman 18 The Kadoka Area Kougars foot- ball team traveled to Presho last Friday night to take on the Lyman Raiders and after a hard-fought game we came home with a win 22- 18. After a scoreless first half once again this week which was topped off by a tremendous goal line stand to end the second quarter by the Kougar defense, we finally got things rolling offensively in the sec- ond half. The first half was a very even defensive battle with each team putting up around 70 yards rush- ing, but neither producing any points. At half time we made a few adjustments and our kids stepped up huge in the second half. Behind our offensive line, which we felt dominated the line of scrim- mage, Kenar VanderMay was in the zone as he carried the ball 26 times for 156 yards and two touch- downs with a key two-point conver- sion as well. Not to be outdone, Chandlier Sudbeck carried the ball 15 times for 111 yards and 1 touchdown. Behind the blocking of Chance Knutson at full back, and Logan Christensen, Gavin DeVries, Clint Stout, Herbie ODaniel and Logan Kougars upset Lyman Raiders 22-18 Mike West, Philip, will be one of five inductees this year into the South Dakota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame. The banquet and induction cere- mony will be Saturday, September 29, at the Lake Norden Community Center. Others to be honored are Paul Raasch, Webster, Mick Hoglund, Dell Rapids, Kent Alm, Aberdeen, and Jon Westling, Yank- ton. Richard Rockafellow, Philip, a former teammate and fellow um- pire with West, stated, Mike spent numerous years playing, coaching and teaching the game of baseball. Rockafellow should know a good baseball player when he sees one. He was, himself, an umpire in- ductee into the hall of fame in 1993 and also a player inductee in 2003. He is the vice president of the South Dakota Amateur Baseball Association and the umpire in chief of the state amateur tournament. For West, Rockafellow said, Its been a long time coming, and well deserved. I played with him and against him in baseball. Mike has done a lot for baseball statewide and locally. West pitched, while Rockafellow caught or played sec- ond base. I umpired with Mike in a state Legion tournament in Rapid City and a state Teener tour- nament held in Philip, said Rock- afellow. West said, My baseball years from my youth, Basin League, col- lege and amateur have given me great memories. And, I am honored to be chosen by my peers for the South Dakota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame. West was inducted into the Philip High School Hall of Fame and the Black Hills State University Athletics Hall of Fame in 1996. As stated by the hall of fame, West enjoyed an outstanding ca- reer at all levels of baseball in South Dakota; VFW Teener, Amer- ican Legion, college and amateur baseball, and continued his serv- ices as a coach and umpire for nu- merous years. He went undefeated for two sea- sons as a pitcher at Black Hills State College in Spearfish, helping lead the squad to the NAIA College World Series in Omaha, Neb., in 1959. The team was invited back again in 1960, but the schools pres- ident wouldnt allow the baseball squad to attend because of finals. West began his amateur career in the early 1950s and played into the 1970s, helping lead Philip squads to the state tournament a number of times. He also was a pickup player for teams from Mar- tin and Four Corners. He also played with Rapid City and Valen- tine, Neb., teams in the Basin League in 1959 and 1960. The South Dakota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame museum in Lake Norden is free to the public. It displays a picture history of am- ateur baseball in the state, and memorabilia from the dozen or so South Dakotans who have played major league baseball. It has been partially aided by USA Today base- ball writer, Mel Antonen. The main purpose of the mu- seum is to tell the history of base- ball in South Dakota through permanent displays of photo- graphs, gloves, balls, bats, uni- forms and other memorabilia. The focus of the exhibits is the history and achievements of the states athletes who have participated in any of the various types and levels of amateur baseball, including high school baseball, college baseball (National Collegiate Athletic Asso- ciation and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), American Legion baseball and town team baseball. West Hall of Fame inductee Athletes of the Week Clint Stout Football Clint recorded a game high 17 total tackles (11 solos & 6 assists). Clint also is our starting center which there arent any stats for except for the fact that our offense racked up 243 total yards and averaged 4.2 yards per play behind our offensive line. Clint does a tremendously good job at leading our offensive line, and he continues to push them every week to get better. Raven Jorgensen Volleyball Raven has started the season well. In 11 matches she leads the team in four categories: a 97.3 serve per- cent, 46 kills, 13 blocks, and 14 digs. She is also one of our best serve receivers which is probably the toughest part of the game. Her work ethic in practice and her lead- ership on the court are examples for our younger players to follow. Scout Sudbeck Cross Country Scout earned a 3rd place finish in Faith and a 4th place finish in Wall. Kenar VanderMay Football Kenar has had 26 carries for 156 yards and 2 touchdowns, and 1 two-point conversion. He led the team in rushing and is an instru- mental part of our football teams offensive and defensive success. ~ Sept. 3, 2012 ~ ~ Sept. 10, 2012 ~ Sponsored by Jackson County Title Company and Larson Law Office, P.C. 615 Poplar St. Kadoka, SD 57543 605-837-2286 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Agressive on the net Marti Herber #12 spikes the ball and gets the kill against the Lady Mustangs. --photos by Robyn Jones Shaley Herber #7 Tessa Stout #9 Up for the kill Kwincy Ferguson #10 returns the ball while Sha- ley Herber #7 is in position to assist.

Bryant, B.D. Froiland, Erik [Published Sept. 13, 2012, at the total approximate cost of $8.67 ] Iron its in your blood, in your hemoglobin, to be exact. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to your body tissues and gives blood its red color. And not having enough hemoglobin can mean that you cant donate blood. Fortunately, low hemoglobin, or iron deficiency, is most often tem- porary. It is developed when too lit- tle iron is absorbed from food to replace iron lost from the body due to heavy menstrual flow, gastronin- testinal disease, or surgery. It can also be caused by eating or drink- ing the wrong combination of foods, beverages or minerals for exam- ple, the calcium in milk and other dairy products can block iron ab- sorption, so it is better to drink a glass of orange juice with that steak, and have your milk a few hours later. Make sure you have plenty of iron in your system for the upcom- ing Knights of Columbus blood drive in the Fine Arts Building at the Philip High School, Tuesday, September 18, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eating foods high in iron, like meat, fish, poultry, green leafy vegetables, peas, beans and whole grain bread, will help you maintain a healthy level of iron.

Certified Winter Wheat Seed The benefits of planting certi- fied seed are many. Certified seed provides correct variety identity and assures varietal purity. Vari- etal purity is the first considera- tion in Seed Certification, but other factors such as weeds, dis- eases, viability, mechanical purity, and grading are also important. Many producers save some of their winter wheat crop for seed, and if they do so for a limited num- ber of years, and have it cleaned and treated with a fungicide seed treatment, can get along fine. Every so often, winter wheat pro- ducers have a problem with loose smut, common bunt or other seed- borne disease, and nearly always, the seed was bin-run, and not treated. Applying a fungicide seed treatment is always recom- mended, and considered cheap in- surance, but planting certified seed is a good practice to increase the odds of a sustainable crop. Certified seed certainly costs more than bin-run seed, but at todays input costs and market prices, spending a little more on quality, disease-free seed can pay big dividends. If you are looking for certified seed, the 2012 Winter Wheat Grower Directory can be found online at: http://www.sd- state.edu/ps/sdcia/upload/2012- WinterWheat-Directory.pdf, or can be obtained at Regional Extension Centers. If you are looking for the yield or other information on the various winter wheat varieties, is now available online in the Re- source Library on iGrow Wheat: http://igrow.org/agronomy/wheat/. Sampling Standing Crops for Nitrates Many of the corn and other crops are rapidly drying up and/or maturing, but questions are still coming in about sampling and testing for Nitrates. A number of producers are interested in testing standing crops, and for good rea- sons. It would be very disappointing to go to the time, trouble and ex- pense of cutting and harvesting a crop, only to test and learn that it contains too much nitrate to feed as you want, or feed at all. Ensil- ing a forage crop will significantly reduce the nitrate level, but if fea- sible, many producers would like to harvest the crop as hay, or graze it. In either case, it is critical to know if the nitrate levels will allow that use. As a recent caller was advised, there is no right way to sample standing crops. The laboratory testing process is quite accurate, but the results are only as good as the sample the lab receives. How well a sample represents the field depends on the sampling process. Some key things to consider: 1. When a testing lab receives a sam- ple, the entire sample will be dried, ground, and well mixed be- fore testing. 2. The lower portion of the stalk will contain the highest level of nitrates. 3. Areas of the field may vary in nitrate levels. If you are willing to incur the testing fees, you may want to sam- ple good and poor areas of the field separately, and you may want to sample upper and lower por- tions of individual plants sepa- rately. This information might enable you to raise the cutting height when harvesting to lower the nitrate levels in the harvested crop, or graze the crop with some level of confidence as long as you remove the cattle before they graze the lower portion of the stalks. If harvesting a crop as hay, we rec- ommend sampling the bales after harvest so you know how to mix with other feeds. Also know that grazing potentially toxic forages can be risky. Calendar 9/12/2012: Sunflower, Soybean, Corn Plot Tours, 5:00 p.m., Dustin Smith and Kim Halverson Farms, Presho and Kennebec, SD. Winner Regional Extension Center Bob Fanning, Plant Pathology Field Specialist 605-842-1267 South Dakota Stockgrowers As- sociation will hold their 121th An- nual Convention and Trade Show on September 21, 22 and 23. The SD Cattlewomen will hold their Annual Meeting on Friday Septem- ber 21. Both events will be held at the Ramkota Convention Center in Rapid City, South Dakota, and are open to the public. Stockgrowers President Shane Kolb said, "This is going to be a great convention with a very inter- esting lineup of speakers. Our con- vention is open to the public and we invite everyone to join us for this event. I'm sure everyone will find something interesting." The convention kicks off on Fri- day, September 21 with opening ceremonies and a Washington DC update from R-CALF CEO Bill Bullard. Continuing throughout the day are meetings and speakers regarding recent changes at the South Dakota Brand Board, Ani- mal ID issues, impacts of Oil and Gas Development for landowners, discussions of the Beef Check-off program, and a presentation by the Wall FFA Ag Issues Team regard- ing Prairie Dog Management. The SD Cattlewomen will hold their Annual Meeting at 9 a.m. on Friday morning. Anyone interested in the Cattlewomen's work should plan to attend this meeting and the Friday luncheon. The two featured speakers for Friday's agenda include Greg Hanes of the US Meat Export Fed- eration to talk about changing markets in Asia and Japan where USMEF is using Check-off dollars to market USA Beef and Mr. George Chambers, President of R- CALF USA from Georgia, will be the keynote speaker during Friday night's banquet. On Saturday, the Stockgrowers Animal Health committee will hear from SDSU's Dr. Amanda Blair re- garding her Fetal Programming Studies, and the Federal Lands committee will meet to hear from speakers who have been impacted by wilderness designations in coun- ties in Montana. Stockgrowers Lob- byist Jeremiah Murphy and Exec Director Silvia Christen will also lead a discussion about Stockgrow- ers Legislative work during the summer and into the coming 2013 Legislative Session. Saturday's luncheon will feature U.S. Congressional Candidates to answer questions from those in at- tendance and discuss their plans for Washington D.C. US Represen- tative Kristi Noem and her chal- lenger Matt Varilek have both been invited to participate. The Congres- sional forum will be followed with an SDSU icecream social sponsored by the SDSU Westriver Ag Center. Saturday at 2:30 p.m will begin the Stockgrowers Annual member- ship meeting to elect officers and board members, vote on policy changes and discuss any other business for the organization.

The South Dakota Department of Transportation requests the co- operation of all farmers and ranch- ers in removing processed hay from the highway right of way. State regulations require that hay be removed from the right of way within 30 days of being processed, but no later than Octo- ber 1. Removing hay bales from the highway right of way is an impor- tant safety consideration for mo- torists. The bales or stacks can be a safety hazard for vehicles forced to leave the road and, in some cases, can restrict a drivers sight distance. Hay left in the road ditches late in the year can also cause snowdrifts across the high- way. For more information, contact Jason Humphrey at 605-773-3571.
