Kadoka Area middle and high school Christmas concert
drug prevention campaign reaches
more than 80 million people every
year. Students from throughout the
United States participated by dec-
orating their homes together with
their parents mailboxes, front
doors and fences. Parents uploaded
photos to RedRibbon.org, then
friends and family voted and the
entries with the most online votes
won (from ten regions across Amer-
ica that included every state).
"The contest helped us talk to
our children about drug preven-
tion, said mom Kristie Stone.
"Kids in the neighborhood had lots
of questions and we explained why
we were decorating with the theme
for Red Ribbon Week."
School Superintendent Jamie
Hermann said, "We appreciate Red
Ribbon Week every year because it
brings focus to the issues facing
Americas youth. It gives us an op-
portunity to address a sensitive
subject in a time-frame where
everyone understands that it is OK
to talk about it. We are very excited
for the Stone family and the oppor-
tunity this will afford our school to
address concerns with drugs that
our youth are facing."
The National Family Partner-
ship (NFP) has announced the win-
ners of the 2012 National Red
Ribbon Photo Contest: The Best
Me Is Drug Free.
Tuesday afternoon the Stone
family was honored for being one of
10 contest winners across the U.S.
They won the midwestern region.
Over 140,000 votes were cast.
The recognition ceremony was
held at the auditorium with all of
the students from the Kadoka
School attending.
Master Sergeant Palmer with
the National Guard and Ron Deist,
a DEA agent out of Sioux Falls
gave the presentation.
Deist reminded students to
make wise choices and said, you
are the future.
He explained Red Ribbon Week
and how it began. In 1985 after the
murder of a DEA agent, parents,
youth and teachers in communities
across the country began wearing
Red Ribbons as a symbol of their
commitment to raise awareness of
the destruction caused by drugs.
This year, families got involved by
entering a contest to promote
awareness in their neighborhoods
and win a drug-prevention grant
for their schools.
Palmer asked students to take
the message home to their parents.
She said you can learn by watch-
ing. If you are doing something
wrong, people are watching, she
added. In addition, she said 50,000
people voted on Stones website and
she thanked them for spreading
the message.
At the end of the program, stu-
dents asked serveral drug-related
questions.

1 Samuel 18:1-3
All people long to be in genuine relationships. God
created us with this need, as we were not meant to live
in isolation.
Our world is so driven by technology that many peo-
ple today try to ease their loneliness through computer relationships. However, this can never satisfy or
compare to the human fellowship that the Creator designed. But healthy friendships don't just happen.
They require intentional effort.
When Looking to Jonathan and David for a biblical model of godly companions, we see how mutual re-
spect is vital in a healthy friendship. Now, let's look at two more aspects of their relationship. These two
men had an emotional love for one another; their hearts were knit together (1 Sam. 18:1). When one man
experienced joy or sadness, the other man felt it too.
They also had genuine devotion to each other, which is a type of commitment that involves giving: to
show loyalty, Jonathan gave his friend material items--his robe and weapon. But these two men also self-
lessly offered more: Jonathan even risked his life and future kingship in order to save David from execu-
tion. Notice, too, that Jonathan was often the initiator, and the one who gave more. He was a prince,
whereas David was a lowly shepherd. Social status shouldn't interfere with cultivating a true friendship.
We were designed for true companionship based on mutual respect, genuine love, and commitment.
This requires not only time and selfless devotion but also transparency--which means being real, even
about our faults. Taking such a risk requires trust. Such relationships are well worth the effort.

The Presbyterian Church in
Kadoka and the Belvidere Commu-
nity Church will have a guest
speaker on Sunday, December 30.
Art Sartorius will speak at
Belvidere at the 9:30 a.m. worship
service and at Kadoka at the 11:00
a.m. worship service.
Rev. Art Sartorius is a teaching
elder serving as the pastor of Black
Hills Community Church in Rapid
City, South Dakota. He has served
in that position for approximately
five years. Black Hills Community
Church is a congregational of the
Presbyterian Church in America
(PCA).
Prior to his ordination as a
teaching elder and the acceptance
of his pastoral call, Mr. Sartorius
was a ruling elder at Christ Church
in Jacksonville, Florida, for approx-
imately eight years. He holds a
Bachelor of Journalism degree,
from the University of Missouri
(1976); a Juris Doctorate from the
University of Florida (1982); and a
Masters of Divinity from Reformed
Theological Seminary, Orlando
(2006).
Before his call to the ministry,
Mr. Sartorius worked as an attor-
ney for 26 years. As an attorney,
Mr. Sartorius litigated civil cases
on the trial court level in federal
and state court and argued some
cases on the appellate court level,
as well. He remains a member of
the Florida Bar Association and
has been admitted to practice in
the Federal Middle District Court
of Florida and the Eleventh Circuit
Court of Appeals.
As both a ruling and teaching
elder, Mr. Sartorius has been ac-
tively involved in the his denomi-
nation serving the regional
governing body, Siouxlands Presby-
tery and the highest governing
body of the denomination, the PCA
General Assembly. He at presents
is the General Assemblys Commit-
tee for Constitutional Business, a
Committee which gives advise on
the government of the Church.
Guest speaker at Belvidere and Kadoka
Presbyterian Churches December 30
There is an old German folk tale
about Ondine, a beautiful young
water nymph who fell in love with
a handsome mortal. Her lover
promised, My every waking
breath is a testimony of my love,
and yet later Ondine discovered
the mortal to be unfaithful. Her fa-
ther, the nymph king, then placed
a curse on the fickle lover making
his breathing a conscious and not
automatic process. Thus, if the
mortal should fall asleep, he would
forget to breath. Eventually On-
dines cursed lover succumbed to
complete exhaustion, fell asleep,
and died.
The name Ondines Curse was
first used in 1962 to describe three
brain surgery patients who died
resulting from the loss of the auto-
nomic drive to breath during sleep.
The name subsequently came to be
used to describe a rare congenital
syndrome in babies with a similar
inadequate breathing drive. More
recently experts advise the name
Ondines Curse be dropped since
the word curse implies wrongdo-
ing and guilt to the parents of
these unfortunate babies.
I think this story better relates
to the broad category of conditions
called sleep apnea, which involves
troubled breathing while asleep.
The word apnea actually means
no breath or breathless. Less
than one percent of patients with
sleep apnea is due to weakness of
the brain-controlled autonomic
drive to breath, called central
apnea; 85 percent is due to floppy-
fatty airways that obstruct breath-
ing, called obstructive apnea; and
the rest is due to a combination of
central and obstructive causes,
called complex apnea.
Whichever the type, sleep apnea
can be a dangerous, even deadly
condition, resulting in excessive
daytime sleepiness, depression,
anger and irritability, memory loss
and even strokes. Whats more,
prolonged low-oxygen causes in-
creased risk for high blood pres-
sure, congestive heart failure,
heart attack and sudden death.
Clues for this serious condition
include high blood pressure, morn-
ing headaches, sudden awakening
with shortness of breath, observed
spells of breathing cessation, espe-
cially in people who are obese, loud
snorers, smokers, or sedated by al-
cohol or sleeping meds. Then again
sometimes there is little warning
and sleep apnea is a silent killer.
If you or your spouse could have
sleep apnea, see your doctor. You
wouldnt want to have Ondines
curse.

Beginnings are often better
than endings. Take the moon in its
cycle, for instance. It starts out as
a tiny crescent in the west just
after sunset and is really nifty
then. When I first notice it hang-
ing there, I often say something
like, Welcome back, Moon. Nice to
see you again. The moon doesnt
reply, of course, but I say it any-
way.
From that thin crescent, then,
this second-brightest light in the
heavens keeps on growing from
night to night until it blossoms
into a big and pretty full moon. It
stays big for a few nights although
little chunks start disappearing
from it. Then by the fourth week of
the cycle, I seldom notice it much
since it comes up so latejust be-
fore sunrise. Finally, it disappears
altogether for a night before being
reincarnated as a thin fellow again
in the west. To me, the beginning
of the moons cycle is great, and
things stay interesting all the way
to the halfway point. From there
on its all downhill, as they say.
The life cycle of animals can be
similar. There is nothing much
cuter than a baby animal whether
it be a calf, pony, or puppy. The
cuteness tends to win your heart.
From there, critters continue to
grow into adults when they hope-
fully will become more useful, but
probably not as attractive. After
the midpoint of their lives, just like
the moon, things start to go down-
hill until that particular life is
over. The last part can even be sad.
Humans arent much different.
If a new baby appears in the com-
munity, the ladies are strongly
drawn to it. (Men, not so much.)
The gals, though, admire it, hold
it, and thoroughly enjoy it. Seeing
that baby grow and prosper is
pleasant as well. People in their
prime are fine too, but decline has
to eventually set in if life goes on
long enough. The final days of a
life can be hard indeed and diffi-
cult to see or deal with.
Then we come to marriages.
They usually start out with a great
deal of joy and happiness. Unfor-
tunately, in this day and age, it fre-
quently doesnt last very long.
When I used to do wedding photog-
raphy, a few times I barely got the
wedding albums delivered before
things fell apart. I shouldnt com-
plain because that meant income
from another wedding in a few
years, but the collapse is not fun to
watch. I have even had a part in
someones third wedding a few
times, but quite often the third
time is the charm and things actu-
ally hold together.
Some marriages, though, dont
go into decline, even right up to the
point where one of the partners
dies. They may even continue to
strengthen. Thats nice to see.
Faith in God can strengthen and
grow right to the end of life as well
so not everything goes into decline,
Im happy to say.
Years, however, follow the more-
normal cycle of good beginning and
strong midpoint, followed by disin-
tegration. I am always very glad to
start a new year with all the pos-
sibilities of interesting happenings
ahead. Sure, it can be chilly in
January, but at least the days are
getting longer and the tempera-
tures are getting warmer as the
days pass. By March and April
were apt to have some really nice
days. Spring, as I have probably
mentioned many times before, is
my absolute favorite with green
grass, flowers, baby animals and
so on. I think I could live in perpet-
ual spring.
From there we go to the most
productive part of the year with
growing crops and all that until we
get to fall. Although fall can be re-
ally pretty with the leaves chang-
ing color and putting on a show, it
also signals the closing of the year.
November and December are the
pits as far as Im concerned with
short days, snow and cold. I some-
times think I really deserve to
have a few days of good old deep
depression about then, but luckily
I usually dont have time for it
what with Thanksgiving and then
Christmas. By the time I recover
from those events, here it is the
first of the year and off we go
again.
Right now, as you know, we are
perched right at the beginning of a
fresh year with all the promise of
better days to come, neat new stuff
to try out, and old pursuits to enjoy
again. Im ready for it. Lets go.
Heres wishing us all the greatest
of new years complete with exces-
sive productivity, joy and happi-
ness. May it be so. Have a very
happy New Year.

have as it is what we are.
Monday, Sharon Allard and her
mother, Maxine, visited Fayola
Mansfield near Kadoka and en-
joyed lunch with her. The gals also
paid a visit to Geraldine Allen be-
fore journeying on to Spearfish for
overnight. Tuesday, Maxine kept
appointments and was thrilled to
find out it was a tiny break in her
hearing aide instead of her ears
that had the problem. So she is
thrilled to be a part of the hearing
world once again. Sharon and Max-
ine stopped to see Wanda at Coun-
try Pride. They found her just
swamped with orders for caramels
so helped her wrap caramels
awhile. The gals also visited with
Maxines sister, Helen, and hus-
band, John Colgon. Maxines
grandson, Patrick, brought her
back to Stan and Ivys in Rapid
City on Wednesday so she could
catch a ride home with Evan and
Dorothy Bligh.
Monday, Susan Taft and Saman-
tha were among the many folks
from this area enjoying the Christ-
mas program at White River High
School. Morgan Taft attends mid-
dle school in White River.
Sharon Ring accompanied Torey
and Linda Ring to the Christmas
concert in Kadoka on Tuesday
night. The beginner, middle school
and high school bands all had a
part.
Dave and Colleen Letellier and
family of Hulett, Wyoming, have
arrived at the Gale Letellier ranch
for the Christmas break.
Several folks from this area en-
joyed attending the Long Valley
School Christmas program on
Wednesday evening. It was a real
cute play (written by the teacher
Mrs. Weller) called A Cowboy
Christmas. In the play Santa was
just like anyone else and wanted
to be a cowboy. You should have
heard that version of the Twelve
Days of Christmas - with every-
thing from cows to bales of hay. The
band also played several Christ-
mas carols to entertain the crowd.
Jeremy Ring, Torey Rattling Leaf
and Stephanie Ring are our local
area band members.
Thursday, Heather Taft kept an
appointment in Rapid City.
Friday evening, Julie Letellier of
Kilgore, NE, accompanied her par-
ents, James and Marjorie Anne
Letellier, to Presho. They enjoyed
attending the Sunshine Bible Acad-
emy girls basketball game against
Lyman County. Sunshine Bible
came out the winners. Lyman
County had no idea that they were
playing against kids from Korea,
Ethiopia, Ukraine besides South
Dakota! Cassie Beckwith, the
Letelliers granddaughter, is a
member of the team. Her parents,
Paul and LuAnne, of Pierre and
sister, Andee, of Norris were in at-
tendance. Sue Larson from Rapid
City also came and she and Julie
spent the night at the James Letel-
liers after the game.
Deb Ring of Spearfish came to
her parents, Robert and Sharon,
home on Friday for the long Christ-
mas weekend.
Susan and Samantha Taft went
to Pierre on Saturday.
Saturday, Marjorie Anne Letel-
lier accompanied Sue Larson and
Julie Letellier to Rapid City on Sat-
urday. They met up with Marjories
sister, Karen Price, and daughter,
Trisha. I am so glad to report that
her son, Brett Price, is doing fine
after nerve replacement surgery in
his arm and tendon surgery at
Mayo on his hand. Brett suffered
injuries from a automobile accident
clear back in May. You may remem-
ber, Brett was a SD champion team
roper and many fundraisers have
been held for his benefit, which we
all are very grateful.
Saturday, Maxine was surprised
to see a goody basket had been
left at her house by her hunter
friend, Ken Koistenen.
Dan, Susan, Samantha and
Morgan Taft were all helping Cliff
Allard work cattle on Sunday.
Friday, Evan and Dorothy Bligh
traveled to Wessington and enjoyed
lunch in the Dale and Ruth Paul-
son home. Later they also visited
with the Joe and Tera Lopez family.
On the way home they visited
Evan's mother, Marjorie Bligh, at
Westkota Manor in Wessington
Springs.
The traffic sure picked up in
Norris this week with folks from
the whole area headed to the
Lakota Nation Invitational Tour-
ney and the many other activities
in Rapid City. Congratulations to
the White River Tigers for bringing
home the championship trophy
once again with a win over Red
Cloud. It is bound to happen some
day, and it did; Norris was caught
in the middle at that game because
Red Clouds coach Christian McGee
is married to our Maggie
Mousseau of Blackpipe. We also
have talented Blackpipe kids play-
ing at Todd County and St. Francis
as well. Cant hardly keep up, I
dont know, how Grandma Chris-
tine Dunham does it.
Heres get well wishes to our
neighbor and White River player,
Tavis Burbank, who suffered a
sprained ankle in the third game.
Those kids love the game so much
they play hard and heal up later. If
the kids can play basketball at
midnight and win; I sure am going
to stay up and listen. We did, too.
Proud of all of you!
Happy New Year!
The Belvidere Church was full
for the Christmas Eve candlelight
service. No one had to stand, but it
was a near thing. Attendance was
close to a hundred people. As usual,
the last song was Silent Night dur-
ing which the lights were turned
out and everyone that wanted to lit
their candles. Before the service,
there was a live nativity at the
front of the church where kids and
some adults, dressed in costumes,
portrayed shepherds, angels, and
Mary and Joseph. The nativity was
originally planned for an outdoor
setting with live animals, but the
zero-degree temps moved it inside
minus the animals. After the serv-
ice, treats were served at the hall
which provided a time for visiting.
The Christmas Eve and Easter
services usually have the largest
attendances at the church during
the year, and this year Christmas
Eve was even larger than Easter.
There was snow in the area, but it
mostly stayed west and south so
the roads were fairly clear locally
for traveling.
Georgann and Jami Addison
flew to Florida to spend Christmas
with Georganns mom, Audrey Car-
ley, and Audreys husband, Jerry.
The trip had an unplanned 44-hour
stop in Iowa thanks to a blizzard
blowing through, but then the jour-
ney continued to the green grass
and warm temperatures of Clear-
water, Florida. Georganns son,
Matt, and his family were also
there in Florida. The trip home was
scheduled for Wednesday if more
bad weather didnt interfere be-
tween there and here, and there
was some possibility of that. Jim,
meanwhile, stayed home to chop
ice and do the regular ranch work.
His son, Royal, came and they tried
some ice fishing. Despite chopping
through eight inches of ice on one
dam and twelve on another, the
fishing was to no avail. Jim has
been fighting a cough which seems
to be mostly a cough without a cold,
but it isnt much fun anyway.
Chuck and Merry Willard had
all their children and grandchil-
dren home for Christmas. Casey
came from Nebraska with Faron
and Riley. Niki came from Hot
Springs with sons, Joshua and
Caleb. Coleen and her husband,
Billy, came from Pinedale, WY,
with their daughter, Frankie
Grace. There was a lot of eating
and visiting and no shortage of ac-
tion with five kids on hand. Chuck
had to leave for awhile to do his
medical work at Rosebud, but he
left word that Billy and Casey
could try out his new chain saw if
they wanted to. Unfortunately,
things stayed too busy for that so
Chuck will get to break it in him-
self. Chucks mom, Pat, didnt want
to come for Christmas this year
since she had the flu a bit ago that
she is still recovering from. Every-
one was planning to leave on
Wednesday except Faron and Riley
who will stay on a few days.
Betty Kusick spent Christmas
day at Quinn with her daughter,
Loretta Schrieber, and her hus-
band, Lawrence, and family. Her
granddaughter, Misty Berg, and
husband, Mike, of Winner picked
Betty up and took her to
Schreibers. Daughter Kathy was
also there at Quinn with her hus-
band, Gary, from Rapid City. It was
a lively bunch with few dull mo-
ments, and they had a great time.
There was no shortage of food and
visiting. Last week, Joe Livermont
came to visit on Monday as did
Loretta and Lawrence. Kathy and
Jerry also stopped in on their way
to visit Misty. Betty attended
Christmas Eve services in
Belvidere and caught a ride to and
from with Dana Badure. Betty had
no plans for Wednesday and Thurs-
day and intended to stay home to
recover.
Kenny and Roxie Fox had all
three sons home for Christmas.
Jesse came from Wyoming, and
Shawn and his wife, Jodie, came
from Mobridge. Wade was already
there, but his daughter, Bodie,
joined him for Christmas Day and
the next. Kenny said there was
plenty of action, and they had a
wonderful Christmas. Kenny spent
quite a while on Christmas Day
playing with granddaughter, Bodie.
He is looking forward to having an-
other grandchild next Christmas
since Shawn and Jodie are expect-
ing an addition to their family
about March. On Wednesday,
Kenny was late to an appointment
at the garage in Murdo where his
pickup was due for some mainte-
nance. Unfortunately, in all the ex-
citement of Christmas, he forgot to
plug the pickup in overnight so it
refused to start in the below-zero
temps of Wednesday morning. The
appointment was rescheduled for
later in the day.
Mike and Marlene Perault did
not have quite as busy a Christmas
this year as some others. They did
have their daughter, Laney, and
family, and son, Bert, at home.
Lesa had to work both Christmas
Eve and Day and wasnt there
much. Laney, however, has four
kids so there was still plenty of ac-
tivity. Bud and Valene Perault also
came over on Christmas Day as did
Marlenes mom and brother, Lillian
and James Carlson. They took Lil-
lian to church on Christmas Eve
and enjoyed oyster stew with her.
The rest of the kids had been on
hand for Thanksgiving, but then
had to share time with spouses
families on Christmas. On Wednes-
day, Marlene said the party was
apparently over since everyone was
headed back home and to work.
Howie and Cathy Ireland spent
both Christmas Eve and Day with
their son, Richard, and family in
Kadoka. Son Troy was there from
Pierre and son Ray and family from
Aberdeen. Sloan was there from
Rapid City as well. Howie said he
was pleased to get a twelve-volt air
compressor for Christmas to carry
in his pickup and use to inflate a
low tire if necessary. He said he
used to have one that came in
handy, but it had fallen apart some
time ago. It was back to work on
Wednesday with Cathy heading to
the nursing home in Kadoka and
Howie hauling mail over to Wan-
blee.

VA is a non-starter as meetings
with lower level individuals have
resulted in wasted time, energy,
and misunderstandings that can
only be avoided by dealing directly
with the Secretary who will ulti-
mately decide the outcome of the
Hot Springs facility. I hope that the
Secretary will reconsider his offer.
The Secretarys response is not
good enough, said Noem. Eight
members of Congress requested
that the Secretary come to Hot
Springs to meet with our veterans
and the community. Deferring a
meeting to his Under Secretary in
Washington, D.C. is not a produc-
tive use of anyones time. I am dis-
appointed that the Secretary is
clearly not interested in taking a
leadership role to help find a solu-
tion for our veterans. I renew my
request for him to travel to South
Dakota to meet with the veterans,
the community and Members of
Congress to discuss the best way
forward.
On December 12, 2011, the De-
partment of Veterans Affairs (VA)
announced a proposal to shutter
the Medical Center in Hot Springs.
The community immediately came
together in a united effort to save
the facility. The community sub-
mitted a counterproposal and the
delegation has worked hard to en-
sure the VA gives it serious consid-
eration. After negotiations between
the VA and the community broke
down in September, South Dakotas
delegation and Members of Con-
gress from Wyoming and Nebraska
sent a letter to Secretary Shinseki
expressing concerns and request-
ing a meeting in Hot Springs. On
October 24th the South Dakota del-
egation followed-up with the Secre-
tary, reiterating its request for a
meeting in South Dakota and for-
mally opposing the VAs proposal.
U.S. Senators Tim Johnson (D-
S.D.) and John Thune (R-S.D.) and
Representative Kristi Noem (R-
S.D.) announced on Wednesday,
December 12 that they received a
long-awaited response from Secre-
tary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shin-
seki regarding the VA Black Hills
Health Care Systems proposal to
shutter VA facilities in Hot
Springs. In October, the delegation
and Members of Congress from
Wyoming and Nebraska requested
a meeting with Secretary Shinseki
and members of the Save the VA
Committee in Hot Springs to help
determine the best way to ensure
area veterans have continued ac-
cess to high-quality health care. In
his response, Secretary Shinseki
deferred on offering to schedule a
meeting in South Dakota, but in-
vited members of the Save the VA
Committee to travel to Washing-
ton,D.C. to meet with an Under
Secretary.
I am disappointed Secretary
Shinseki has denied our request to
meet with the delegation and mem-
bers of the Save the VA group. The
situation warrants more than a
meeting with Under Secretary Pet-
zel. Ill continue working with Sec-
retary Shinseki to ensure the views
of affected veterans, area commu-
nities, and VA employees are
heard, said Johnson.
I am extremely disappointed by
Secretary Shinsekis response to
our letter, said Thune. We asked
for the Secretary to meet with us in
Hot Springs because we believe he
is the only senior official at the VA
who can negotiate in good faith on
this matter, and because we believe
he should visit Hot Springs to see
for himself the importance of this
facility to our veterans and the pas-
sion of the Hot Springs community
for our veterans. The offer of meet-
ing with an Under Secretary of the
Delegation release on

In their last game against the

Philip Scotties, the Kougars strug-
gled from start to finish, coming up
short, 32-89.
Effort and toughness in sports
are terms we use a lot, but our boys
are going to have to develop those
skills in order to change the course
we are on now. We also need time
on the practice floor putting in the
reps on the offensive and defensive
side of the ball. Basketball is a
game of fundamentals. We dont
need to complicate the issue. If we
can sustain effort in our practices
and build on the fundamentals, we
will compete at a higher level. It is
going to take persistence from the
boys but if the team buys in to
what we are doing we will be com-
petitive as the season unfolds. Big
changes dont come quickly. They
require steady work and improve-
ment. But when they come they
last. Keeping working hard boys
you will see results!
--by Coach Mark Reiman
The Kougar boys have had a
rough start to begin the basketball
season. Our schedule early on has
been very tough and I know that
each team we play is going to be a
battle. Even though the scores
have been lopsided, you can see a
glimpse of what this team can ac-
complish but it is going to take
time.
They opened their season with a
double header at Faith, coming
home with a 23-90 loss. Kenar Van-
derMay and Logan Christensen led
the Kougars with 7 and 5 points,
respectively.
From there they hosted Rapid
City Stevens JV and lost 36 to 62.
VanderMay and Christensen,
again led the team with 15 and 10
points. The team shot 9/20 from the
line.
The Kougars found themselves
up against a very tough Dupree
team and were handed another
loss. VanderMay contributed 17
points.

24/7 program, said Lee Axdahl, di-
rector of the state Office of High-
way Safety. The latest evaluation
shows this program continues to
contribute greatly to safety on our
highways.
The program, which was estab-
lished in 2005 as a pilot program,
began with a twice-a-day prelimi-
nary breath test. Since 2005, 5.32
million preliminary breath tests
have been administered to 23,678
participants with a pass rate of
99.3 percent. In 2006, alcohol mon-
itoring bracelets were introduced,
4,815 participants have been mon-
itored for 706,468 days of which 77
% were compliant. Other testing
methods were introduced in 2007
including: (1) 68,412 urinalysis
tests administered to 2,632 partic-
ipants with a pass rate of 96.8 per-
cent; (2) and 1,447 drug patch tests
administered to 125 participants
with a pass rate of 89%. In June of
2012, the ignition interlock devices
for vehicles were added to the pro-
gram, but currently no statistical
data available.
You can find the Mountain
Plains Evaluation Report on our
website:
http://apps.sd.gov/atg/dui247/Anal
ysisSupplementalSD24.pdf
Attorney General Marty Jackley
and the Department of Public
Safety has announced that Moun-
tain Plains Evaluations Supple-
mental Findings Report on the 24/7
Sobriety Program has been com-
pleted. This Report is a follow-up to
Mountain Plains Evaluations
analysis of the 24/7 Program issued
in March of 2011.
The Supplemental Findings Re-
port includes an additional year of
participation level data and
demonstrates that the Program ef-
fectively continues to reduce the
likelihood that an individual con-
victed of DUI will reoffend. Specif-
ically, the twice daily preliminary
breath test result for DUI offenders
examined in this report reveals
that individuals are maintaining a
very high level of sobriety while on
the 24/7 Sobriety Program. With a
sample size of just over one million
recorded twice a day test results,
only 0.6% was recorded as a
failed test or as a no show. In
addition, over 53% of DUI partici-
pants did not fail a single breath
test, and only 9.4% had four or
more test marked as failed test or
no show during a testing period
that averaged approximately 120
days per participant.
The new information in the
Mountain Plains report, in addition
to the recent release of the RAND
study, confirms and supports the
effectiveness of the 24/7 Sobriety
Program. Our 24/7 alcohol monitor-
ing program is a proven offender-
pay program that addresses
addiction head-on and improves
public safety, said Jackley.
Keeping repeat offenders off the
road is a huge component of the
24/7 sobriety program

Were going to try this again. We
want to thank Penny and family,
Brad and family, Becky and family
for the amazing 40th anniversary
party. (There is no Moon family -
only a syntax error in last thank you.)
Thanks to all who came, sent us well
wishes, and those who ignored the
no gifts please. After the eight of us
opened cards the next morning
there was some cash on the floor, so
if you sent some in a card and didnt
get a personal thank you, here it is,
thank you. You could call us so we
could apologize. Mel and I enjoyed
eating out and saw a couple of
movies. We usually wait until they
are on TV. Thanks again for a super
duper day.

Tri-County
Ranchers Workshop
The Tri-County Ranchers Work-
shop will be held Wednesday, Jan-
uary 16, 2013 at the Winner
Regional Extension Center in Win-
ner, SD, beginning with registra-
tion at 9:30 am, CST. Dr. Barry
Dunn, Dean of the College of Agri-
culture and Biological Sciences,
SDSU is scheduled to emcee the
event, and share some thoughts
about SDSU, SDSU Extension and
how the University serves farmers
and ranchers during the noon
break.
The topics and speakers were
selected to address issues facing
ranchers dealing with the linger-
ing effects of the 2012 drought, but
should be of interest to anyone in
the ranching business over the
long term.
Starting the program will be
Jim Krantz, Extension Cow/Calf
Field Specialist, discussing
CHAPS and Record Keeping.
CHAPS is a computerized per-
formance testing system that was
originally developed in the early
1990s in North Dakota. North
Dakota State University is collab-
orating with SDSU to revamp the
program to better fit the needs of
todays cattlemen.
The next speaker will be Adele
Harty, Extension Cow/Calf Field
Specialist, providing information
on Livestock Nutrition and Water
Quality. The 2012 drought re-
quired producers to get creative in
securing enough feed to maintain
their cow herds, and may be deal-
ing with feedstuffs they are not
used to dealing with. Water was
also a major concern, and an im-
portant part of a ranching opera-
tion.
Finishing up the morning will
be Pete Bauman, Extension Range
Field Specialist, outlining some in-
novative ideas for Rangeland
Water Development. Lunch will be
served at no charge to partici-
pants, courtesy of area Conserva-
tion Districts and agri-businesses.
After lunch, Laura Edwards, Ex-
tension Climate Field Specialist
will provide a Weather Update and
outlook for 2013, and Matt
Diersen, Extension Risk Manage-
ment Specialist, will outline the
Market situation in the cattle in-
dustry.
