While the 2013 rodeo season of- ficially began in October, January and February provides an opportu- nity to get a leg-up on the competi- tion, and can set the tone for a cowboys whole season. During the two-week span that Rapid City plays host to these contestants they will be making their way across the country trying to compete at thir- teen different PRCA rodeos with over seventy-performances. The PRCA rodeo will be held at The Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in the Barnett Arena January 26th at 1:30 p.m., January 31st at 7:30 p.m., February 1st at 1:30 p.m., and February 2nd at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at www.gotmine.com, by phone at 1- 800-GOT-MINE, or in person at Rushmore Plaza Civic Center Box Office M-F 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. The Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo is only fifteen days away and early entries show over 680 contestants will be making their way to Rapid City, SD for the five- performance rodeo held January 26th through February 2nd. With over $156,000.00 paid out to con- testants in 2012, it easy to see why the cream of the crop is making their way north again this year. Current entries include some of the more popular 2012 PRCA World Champions, Trevor Brazile, Kaycee Field, Jesse Wright and Mary Walker along with an addi- tional sixty-one of the one hundred twenty contestant field seen at the 2012 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV, this past December. In addition to these famous names, there are twenty-four more World Champions that have made the list for 2013, including South BHSS & Rodeo bringing the whos who of the PRCA a comparative bright spot of con- tained spending in a nation of fis- cally short states. Minnesota, Daugaard said, is $1.1 billion short at the current time. While the Governor studiously avoided education reform topics in his message, he did announce a criminal justice effort aimed at lessening the number of inmates held in state prisons. Instead, he noted the results of a criminal jus- tice work group, highlighting three of its recommendations. Those included the creation of alternative courts for repeat of- fenders with serious addiction problems. A pilot program has shown an impressive 80 percent of participants back on track, Dau- gaard said. He is asking the state to copy Hawaiis HOPE program that re- quires participating drug offenders to call in each morning for random testing. Legislation would set up one urban and one rural pilot pro- gram. Third, legislation will be calling for ways to keep drug, alcohol and mental health offenders from being incarcerated. He said 80 percent of persons admitted to prison are those who have committed non-vi- olent crimes. This is not being soft on crime, said the Governor, but being smart on crime. By Elizabeth Sam Grosz Community News Service Gov. Dennis Daugaard com- pared a recent shoring up of the State Capitols floor to make it structurally sound for the next 100 years with the efforts of the state to strike a fiscal structural balance. Daugaard called both good stewardship. The Governor delivered this comparison during the State of the State address Jan. 8 in Pierre on the first day of the 2013 legislative session. He noted that South Dakota is Gov touts fiscally conservative state budget in State of State address the influence of alcohol. Claimant lost control of the vehicle; it trav- eled into a ditch and rolled. The victim was ejected through the rear window of the vehicle and died on scene. Claimants blood alcohol level was determined to be .281, two hours after the crash. Claimant pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter on October 9, 2012. The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion and Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant United States Attorney Marie H. Ruettgers prosecuted the case. Clairmont was immediately turned over to the custody of the US Marshal. US Attorney Brendan V. John- son announced that a Norris man convicted of involuntary manslaughter was sentenced on January 10, 2013, by US District Judge Roberto A. Lange. Mark Clairmont, age 38, was sentenced to 33 months in custody, 2 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Victim Assistance Fund. Clairmont was indicted for in- voluntary manslaughter by a fed- eral grand jury on June 12, 2012. The charge stems from an incident occurring on February 17, 2012, when Clairmont was driving a motor vehicle at approximately 79 miles per hour, had been drinking alcoholic beverages, and was under Norris man sentenced for involuntary manslaughter Jackson County gets taste of winter Not a nice day Friday, January11 didnt start out too bad of a day, however, by late morning snow, ac- companied by wind, put together a winter storm.

Johnston re- places Delores Bonenberger on the board. Once the meeting was called to order the minutes and financial statement were approved. Two notices of hospitalization were received and both items re- quired no action. Glen Bennett was elected as board chairman and Larry Denke was elected vice chairman.

Terry Deuter was also appointed as Veterans Service Officer for a period of four years. Listed on the agenda for the af- ternoon session was abatements, but were reviewed and approved in the morning session. Two county residents were ap- proved to make payments to the treasurer for past due taxes. Following a recess for lunch the board reconvened at 1 p.m. Veryl Prokop was present to dis- cuss CS 28, which leads to his prop- erty south of Kadoka along the White River. Moving CS 28 is complete and at a previous meeting the commis- sioner had directed Highway Su- perintendent Dwight Deaver to close the old portion of this road. When Deaver contact Prokop about closing the old road, since the new road has been built, Prokop was not in favor of this. According to the commissioners, the purpose of clos- ing the old road was because a new road was built to use, it was a large cost for county and could create li- ability issues since maintenance will be discontinued on the old road. The reason for moving the road was for safety concerns since the road was next to the bank of the White River and the edge of the road was falling in to the river. Prokop stated that he was con- cerned with closing the old portion of the road incase someone traveled down the road and wasnt aware of the road change and would have an accident. Another reason was if he (Prokop) was unable to get a truck down the road, in one section of the old road, panels could be set up and cattle could be loaded from there. The commissioners stated that it was important (for liability issues) that using the old road needed to be discontinued. Assistant Jackson County States Attorney Chip Kemnitz stated that the legal way for any road to be added, changed or re- moved from the highway road sys- tem was a petition needed to be filed, advertise the changes for two weeks, hold a hearing and pass a resolution. Although the procedure was not done legally, the road changes were listed in the meeting minutes. Kemnitz recommended the com- missioners pass a resolution with at the meeting approving the road change. Kemnitz also recommended that the old road be closed with a gate and proper signage be installed stating road closed and no tres- passing. With the gate and signs installed, it should prevent the county and land owner from any li- ability issues should an accident occur. Prokop also stated that even though the road is improved its still not finished, and in the future the county needs to look at reduc- ing the slope of the new road. Later in the meeting a resolu- tions was passed approving the road changes. The water statement from WR/LJ was discussed. It has been determined that there is a leak be- tween the main line and the shop building in Interior. It was stated that the leak will need to be re- paired and it is the countys respon- sibility. Twiss questioned Deaver as to the progress with changing the flow to Lost Dog Creek. He said the flow changes needed to be submit- ted to the Corp of Engineers. Deaver presented a price quote for a jack hammer to use for in- stalling road signs. The purchase was approved. Motion carried to enter in to ex- ecutive session at 2:20 p.m. They returned to open session at 2:41 p.m. with no action taken. Emergency Manager Jackie Stil- well stated that Green Valley Fire Department is now receiving calls through Pennington County 911. Johnston stated that the Belvidere Fire Department has ex- pressed interest in also going through Pennington County. Jackie Stilwell said that all the equipment has already been installed and the only costs would be for the pagers. Twiss and Jackson County Sher- iff Ray Clements Jr. questioned Kadoka Ambulance President Jackie Stilwell and Kadoka Fire Chief David Johnson as to why the ambulance and fire department kept a direct land line phone num- ber to receive calls when 911 emer- gency paging is available. Clements stated that at a recent house fire, the call was reported on the local number instead of using 911 and it was approximately 15 minutes before he knew where the fire was. Twiss said that the county pays a lot for the 911 service through Pennington County and it should be used, and if its not going to be used, then why have it? Jackie Stilwell stated that when the local number is dialed the call is answered by a local EMT with a radio. The call can be heard by the local EMTs and a crew is assem- bled to go on the call. With 911 calls there is some delay in receiving the call. Johnson said that when 911 began it was the fire departments decision to keep the local land line number. Clements stated that if the call does not go through 911 then he does not know where the call for help or to report a fire is coming from. Unless it (the call) goes through 911, he will not respond to the call. Wages for county employees were discussed. Motion carried to approve a 25 per hour increase or $520 annual increase for salaried full time employees was approved with the exception of Henry Bohan- non, Ken Sheaffer, Josh Cadman, Kelly Fortune, Aaron Richardson, Dallas Kendrick and the commis- sioners who will stay at their cur- rent pay rate. With no other business, Chair- man Bennett entertained a motion to adjourn. A motion was made by Johnston, seconded by Twiss to ad- journ, and carried. Following adjournment, County Auditor Vicki Wilson presented a voucher approving expenses for two people to attend the weed and pest meeting in Huron. Motion was made Stilwell, seconded by Denke and carried to approve.

We tend to pay very close attention to such accounts because the per- son involved has witnessed firsthand Gods faithfulness and power to restore a broken life. Of all the witnesses to Gods grace in times of trouble, none is more compelling than the apostle Paul. He was certainly no stranger to hardship. Throughout his ministry, he was chased, beaten, stoned, ar- rested, shipwrecked, and accused of heresy by both the Jewish leaders and the Roman government. This was certainly a stark contrast to his early life, in which he enjoyed the luxuries and opportunities that his Roman citizenship and Jewish education provided. There were amazing ups and downs in Pauls life. As a result, he earned the right to make the procla- mation found in Philippians 4:12: I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity. And what was the lesson the apostle came away with as a result of these experiences? He tells us in verse 12: In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. Pauls secret is really not a secret al all, for he reveals the source of his strength in the following verse: I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Faith in Jesus Christ and an increasing re- liance on Him will make this limitless power source a reality in your life.

She was in her mid-80s, a nor- mal-sized classy-dressed lady, who walked into my office with yellow eyes. She stated her urine had turned dark and the stool turned light about a week ago, was feeling ishy now for a couple of weeks, and had lost five or ten pounds over the last month. She noted her belly was bloated, her skin was itching, and her get-up-and-go had got-up-and-gone. My patient reminded me she was a farm-wife who, after her husbands death, moved to town and lived in an apartment alone, although kids lived nearby. She had lead a careful life without ex- posure to excessive alcohol or drugs, was only taking a multiple vitamin, no herbal supplements, and had only one lifetime sexual partner. She had never received a transfusion, never been to a for- eign country, no family history of liver disease or cancer, never been treated for diabetes, and no im- mune condition like lupus. Her husband had worked with farm chemicals and insecticides, and although they worked to- gether sometimes moving cattle or with fieldwork during harvest time, her jobs mostly involved out- side dealing with chickens and in- side preparing for meals, without much exposure to chemicals. In short, she gave no clue to any- thing, which may cause inflamed liver or hepatitis. We admitted her to the hospital where we obtained blood tests, im- aging tests, a liver biopsy, all the while monitoring her carefully es- pecially for bleeding problems. The biopsy report described fulminant or raging hepatitis, the viral test was positive for cytomegalovirus or CMV, and everything else was negative. We then discussed her case at length with the infectious disease and liver specialists by phone, and kept her in our hospital as we were advised there was no advantage gained by referral to a larger hospital. Despite following every recom- mendation of the experts and the textbooks, we observed how our patients liver function continued to deteriorate. Over the next week and a half she slipped away from our grasp and died in a coma, sur- rounded by her children and their families. This was some twenty years ago and it taught me how our lives truly depend on a func- tioning liver. But I still wonder about the case. Why did this common virus found in 80 percent of the adult population kill her? What could I have done differently to save this lovely lady? Despite all the gathered knowl- edge available to physicians, some- times we are helpless. Rick Holm, M.D., Medical Editor A tale of hepatitis Clifford D. Cliff Ramsey_________ Clifford D. Cliff Ramsey, age 81, of Philip, S.D., died Saturday, January 12, 2013, at the Rapid City Regional Hospital. Clifford D. Ramsey was born May 13, 1931, in Philip, the son of Claude and Hilda (Sether) Ram- sey. He attended Philip High School and as a junior, was part of the undefeated, unscored-upon football team. He graduated from Philip High School in 1950. Cliff s dad died when he was 13, so Cliff assisted in running his parents ranch at a young age. After high school he remained at the ranch. Cliff was united in marriage to Rita Urban on July 25, 1951, in Pierre. To this union were born four children, Doug, Bart, Vicki and Gary. They remained on the ranch all their 61 years of marriage. He loved the family, outdoors, and hunting. He cherished the time he was able to spend with all of them. Cliff still has the state record mule deer. Cliff was a member of the United Church of Philip, a school board member, and church board member for many years. Grateful for having shared his life include his wife, Rita, of Philip; three sons, Doug Ramsey and his wife, Phyllis, of Sundance, Wyo., Bart Ramsey and his wife, Marcy, of Philip, and Gary Ramsey and his wife, Amber, of Colstrip, Mont.; one daughter, Vicki Eide and her husband, Marvin, of Philip; nine grandchildren, Brittany (Scott), Michelle (Nick), Krystal, Cara (Brook) Chad (Paulette), Carla, Christa (Trevor), Chelsea (Tyler) and Taylor; 15 great-grandchil- dren, Jordan, Haley, Ramsey, Pey- ton, Caden, Wyatt, Charlee, Kiley, Taegan, Brayden, Keagan, Colby, Jensen, Rayler and Aven; one sis- ter, Hazel Thompson of Spearfish; his mother-in-law, Dorothy Urban of Philip; and a host of other rela- tives and friends. Cliff was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Chuck Ramsey.

His online guestbook is available at www.rushfuneralhome.com Arnold C. Wolden________________ Arnold C. Wolden, age 95, of Philip, S.D., passed away peace- fully on Tuesday morning, Janu- ary 8, 2013, at the Hans P. Peterson Memorial Hospital in Philip, with his family at his side. Arnold C. Wolden was born to Johanna (Running) and Anton Wolden on January 7, 1918, at home in Union County, near Elk Point. Both of his parents emi- grated from Norway. On March 9, 1930, the Wolden family moved to Philip from Beres- ford, driving two Model T Fords, a 1918 and 1925 touring car. The family had loaded two box cars with livestock, machinery and household goods. As a young man, Arnold farmed the family farm northeast of Philip with his parents. In the late 1930s he was employed by Civil Conser- vation Corps and Works Progress Administration, which included Lake Sunshine. He received his pilots license in the late 1940s, purchased a J3 Piper Cub airplane and continued to fly until 1953. He was a frequent attendee at fly-ins and flight shows including Oshkosh, Wis. Then he traded the airplane for a new red Ford pickup that was plagued with almost every problem on the planet and wished many times he had just kept the airplane. On January 30, 1952, Arnold married Virginia Smith Johnson at the First Lutheran Church in Philip, where he was a charter member. To this union five chil- dren were born, Gene, Linda, Roger, Mark and Terry, and he also raised two stepchildren, Janet and Michael. Arnold participated in the Boy Scouts with his sons, and he was an active member of the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association. Other interests included attend- ing auctions, rodeos, dances, visit- ing with residents at the nursing home and attending their dance night. In addition to farming and ranching, Arnold was also a grain seed salesman for Sokota Seeds and Conklin products. Upon semi-retirement, Arnold and Virginia took dance classes and attended dances throughout the local area. He also helped build a house at age 80 years young. Arnold enjoyed his children, grandchildren and great grand- children and taught most of them how to drive sitting on his lap, years before they were of legal driving age. Arnold was a kind, gentle man that was wonderful husband, dot- ing father, grandfather to 20, great-grandfather to 22, and great- great-grandfather to three; brother to Julie Brooks and Helga War- rington; and loyal friend to many. He believed every child was the brightest and cutest that ever ex- isted. He will be forever loved and dearly missed. Arnold was preceded in death by his parents; three sisters, Mabel Kiel, Alice Hanson-Strand and Agnes Fickbohm; two brothers: Sam and Oliver; children, Janet and Mark; great-great- granddaughters, Tessa Brenner, Logan and Emma Duran. Services were held Friday, Jan- uary 11, at the First Lutheran Church in Philip with Pastor Frezil Westerlund officiating. Music was provided by Marilyn Millage, pianist, and Kim Kan- able, vocalist.

An era has come to an end with the passing of Erwin. He was one of the last of the old time cowboys, a faithful husband, a good father, a doting grandfather and a friend to more people than he could count. He was often found on the phone catching up with old friends or new ones he had dialed by acci- dent. He was a great teacher with- out a classroom, especially to his nieces, nephews and grandchil- dren. He was a patient man with children and livestock. He always made time to visit with anyone es- pecially over a cup of coffee or a glass of beer. He had an encyclope- dic knowledge of his hometown and county and could be counted on to give you the whole story. He was a giver of nicknames and had one of his own from his nieces and nephews Big Uncle. He was stub- born at times. He was known for his Erwin-isms like You arent wearing enough clothes to flag a hand car. He was a fixer of all things. No matter the need, he was always ready to give a helping hand. He was a good man and a true friend. He will be missed. Erwin was born Oct. 25, 1927, to Frank and Esther (Bickerdyke) Latham at the home of Aunt Lilly Turbiville in Camp Crook. He grew up on the family ranch and he and his sister, Marilyn, rode their pony, Amos, to the Bullock School every day. Little brother, Neil, joined the family in 1938. Erwin started high school in Camp Crook and at- tended until the school burned down. He returned to the ranch where he lived and worked the rest of his life. Erwin was very active in the community. He was a charter member of the Camp Crook Rop- ing Club and the Bullock Commu- nity Club. He was on the Harding County Fair Board for many years and started the Sheep Shearing Contest, serving as that divisions Superintendent.

Im not even sure when she and I first got acquainted, but it was over thirty years ago and probably close to forty. I think it was when her grandson, Scott, worked for us for a few years shortly after he got out of high school. No matter how and when we met, weve stayed friends ever since. Winona loved farm-raised eggs since she said they tasted so much better than those available in stores. As a result, I delivered eggs to her on a regular basis which meant we got to visit some every week or two. When I stopped in, it was a rare occurrence for her to be sitting idle. She was either baking, cooking, sewing or doing some other kind of work. Loafing about was not in her vocabulary. Useful endeavor was. Neither did she mess about doing things slowly. She moved right along. I recall many times when I delivered some old hens or other surplus chickens to her. I would call and tell her I was com- ing which prompted her to put water on to boil for scalding. When I arrived, she grabbed her axe and had those birds beheaded and ready for plucking before I left the driveway. After I visited the bank and grocery store and took care of any other business I had, I would stop back to pick up my cages. In that short amount of time, the chickens were apt to be plucked, washed and ready to cook up for canning. Sometimes she would later give me a jar of canned chicken that made up nicely into soup or other tasty fare. Winona was a very sweet and kind lady. She didnt talk a lot, but a smile was always close to the surface. She was rather fun to tease because it made her chuckle. She didnt often tease back, but she didnt mind being teased her- self about little things. In short, she was the kind of person you would like to have as your grand- mother. She strongly reminded me of my own grandma who doted on me and liked to do nice things for me. When I stopped in and there were cookies or other treats sitting on the table, I was always invited to try them which I gladly did. One such treat at Christmas time was a fruit cake. Normally, Im not big on fruit cake, but this one was dif- ferent. It was actually good. I asked for the recipe which was soon written down for me, and Ive made it several times. It makes a huge batch that will not only last through Christmas but probably into March as well since part of it can be frozen for later use. Oddly enough, it is a no-bake cake that is glued together with marshmallows and other tasty goodies. I didnt make it this year, come to think of it, but maybe I will gather the mul- titude of ingredients needed to construct it and call it an Easter fruitcake in memory of my friend. I know Ill never make it without it bringing Mrs. C happily to mind. When I stopped in at Winonas, it was unusual for her to be alone. Some friends or relatives were al- most always there and had proba- bly just been served a meal or were going to be. Family was important, and I met many of her kin includ- ing some brothers and sisters, kids, grandkids, and such. Her place was where the family gath- ered. On several occasions, I was called on to take pictures at some family reunion or event that Winona wanted recorded photo- graphically. Her living room was a gallery of those she held dear. Winona always remembered me at Christmas. Usually she gave me something she had made like potholders or the like, and I treas- ured them, partly because they were nice things, but mostly be- cause shed made them. One of the last things she gave me was a nifty quilt. It was made with squares of blue denim from old blue jeans on one side and white, pink and red flannel on the other. It was tied with red yarn. She said I needed to carry it in the new pickup Id just purchased, and, as a result, it was partly done in red since that was the color of the pickup. It was a grand quilt, and it is still riding around with me in my red Ranger. You just never know when you might need a quilt. Its a comfort to have along. Well, although Ill miss my friend until we meet again up- stairs, I know she was ready to go. Old age was becoming a burden, and her bags were packed, so to speak. I imagine shes already looking around for useful things to do up there in heaven. Ill be glad one day to resume our friendship, and, until then, Winona will con- tinue to live in my mind and heart. Winona Bell Carson (1918-2013) Winona Lookin Around by Syd Iwan Chuck Willard is well on the way to recovery after having hip-re- placement surgery in Rapid City last Monday. There were a few days when the pain medicine caused problems, but that seems to have been adjusted now so things are going better. Chuck had his other hip replaced about five years ago and said he was glad to now be out of hips needing repair. It appar- ently isnt much fun. Tom DeVries has been going down and helping with chores. On Sunday, Jim Addi- son picked Tom up in Belvidere and drove him to Ted Vobrs. Tom then walked across the frozen river to Chucks and started chores. Jim did chores at Teds and then walked across to Chucks as well. Tom and Jim enjoyed coffee, cookies and din- ner before heading back out. Jim Addison was batching on Sunday since Georgann and Jami were staying in Murdo due to weather and bad roads. Jim had been to Murdo on Thursday for the start of the Jones County Invita- tional basketball tournament and hoped to return on Monday for the championship game. That game was supposed to have been played on Saturday, but blizzard condi- tions caused a rescheduling of some of the games. Greg and Dana Badure are in a period of transition after losing the contract for maintenance of the rest areas east of town. All the rest areas between Tilford and the Mis- souri River are now being done by the same company. The whole fam- ily has been entertaining colds this week, and Brisa and Martin visited the doctor in Philip. Flu didnt show up in tests so it was advised to treat the troubles as colds. Greg said his dad, Al, and Beverly were planning a trip to Casper, WY, this week since Beverlys son is seri- ously ill with heart problems. Mark DeVries said this was the first weekend theyd had off from wrestling since Halloween. There was a meet scheduled for Philip this weekend, but it was called off due to the nasty weather. The roads seem good enough now, how- ever, that the family can get to school on Monday. Delores Bonenberger is doing better after the minor stroke she recently suffered. The stroke was apparently caused by high blood pressure which is being treated. She has been advised not to drive, however, until after her next doctor appointment so she hasnt been going many places. She did go down the road to Brett and Nikki Bonenbergers on Sunday since Brett was celebrating his 32nd birthday with dinner, a couple of cakes, homemade ice cream and the works. Delores was taken over by Keith and Pam who were also there. Bretts brother, Kade, was there, too. Brett also celebrated his birthday by getting his four- wheeler stuck in a snow bank. De- lores suggested he might have to go back to checking the cows on a horse, but that suggestion had a cool reception. Charlene Ceniceros said her household has been hosting the flu this last week. Her granddaughter, also named Charlene, did go to Pierre on Friday and got home just in time before the storm got too wild. Her husband, Daryl Romero, had to stay over at work one night due to bad weather and roads. Church was called off in Belvidere on Sunday as was the potluck and annual meeting that were to follow church. Quite a few country people were blocked in by snow, and it was a cold day to be out and about. The annual meeting will probably be held on the 27th. Following the January tax law changes made by Congress under the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA), the Internal Revenue Service announced today it plans to open the 2013 filing season and begin processing individual income tax returns on Jan. 30. The IRS will begin accepting tax returns on that date after updating forms and completing program- ming and testing of its processing systems. This will reflect the bulk of the late tax law changes enacted Jan. 2. The announcement means that the vast majority of tax filers - - more than 120 million households -- should be able to start filing tax returns starting Jan 30. The IRS estimates that remain- ing households will be able to start filing in late February or into March because of the need for more extensive form and processing sys- tems changes. This group includes people claiming residential energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits. Most of those in this group file more com- plex tax returns and typically file closer to the April 15 deadline or obtain an extension. We have worked hard to open tax season as soon as possible, IRS Acting Commissioner Steven T. Miller said. This date ensures we have the time we need to update and test our processing systems. The IRS will not process paper tax returns before the anticipated Jan. 30 opening date. There is no advantage to filing on paper before the opening date, and taxpayers will receive their tax refunds much faster by using e-file with direct de- posit. The best option for taxpayers is to file electronically, Miller said. The opening of the filing season follows passage by Congress of an extensive set of tax changes in ATRA on Jan. 1, 2013, with many affecting tax returns for 2012. While the IRS worked to anticipate the late tax law changes as much as possible, the final law required that the IRS update forms and in- structions as well as make critical processing system adjustments be- fore it can begin accepting tax re- turns. The IRS originally planned to open electronic filing this year on Jan. 22; more than 80 percent of taxpayers filed electronically last year. Who Can File Starting Jan. 30? The IRS anticipates that the vast majority of all taxpayers can file starting Jan. 30, regardless of whether they file electronically or on paper. The IRS will be able to accept tax returns affected by the late Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) patch as well as the three major extender provisions for people claiming the state and local sales tax deduction, higher educa- tion tuition and fees deduction and educator expenses deduction. Who Cant File Until Later? There are several forms affected by the late legislation that require more extensive programming and testing of IRS systems. The IRS hopes to begin accepting tax re- turns including these tax forms be- tween late February and into March; a specific date will be an- nounced in the near future. The key forms that require more extensive programming changes include Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits), Form 4562 (De- preciation and Amortization) and Form 3800 (General Business Credit). A full listing of the forms that wont be accepted until later is available on IRS.gov. As part of this effort, the IRS will be working closely with the tax software industry and tax profes- sional community to minimize de- lays and ensure as smooth a tax season as possible under the cir- cumstances. Updated information will be posted on IRS.gov. IRS plans Jan. 30 tax season opening for 1040 filers Bad is never good, until worse happens. Danish Proverb James and Marjorie Anne Letel- lier and Andee Beckwith met up with Julie Letellier at White River on Tuesday afternoon and the four- some traveled on to Lower Brule. Sunshine Bible Academy was play- ing four basketball games. The girls won the B game and lost the A game. The boys lost both games, but the A game score was 55-57. It was a thriller of a game. Cassie Beckwith is a member of the girls team. Sharon Ring took her grandson, Jeremy, to his appointment at Murdo on that windy Wednesday morning. Wednesday evening about 10 folks gathered in the Norris Post Office lobby for a meeting about the fate of our post office. Steve Carter, Manager of Post Office Operations, of Rapid City and Anne Fickoehm represented the postal department. Carter spoke to the group of the sit- uation facing the post office and told of the plans for cutting the hours of window service at our local post office. As it appears now the hours for the Norris Post Office window service will be 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. week days and Saturday will be 9:30-10:30 a.m., however, this will not take effect for 60 days. Cutting the service of any business is not a good policy for any busi- ness. On Thursday, Dan Taft was in- jured in a four-wheeler accident. Tafts were busy moving cattle in preparation for the coming storm. Dan was taken to Rapid City Re- gional Hospital, where he had sur- gery on his shoulder. He is now home recuperating from the ordeal. Get well quick, Dan, hope you will soon be all healed up. The Norris Fire Department was a recent recepient of a gift of $500 from the Mellette County Community Foundation. We are very grateful for the generousity shown to our little burg. We all know how important our local fire departments were this summer. Carol Ferguson was back at her old job in the post office a few days while Susan Taft was in Rapid City. Norris School news is that DARE graduation is being planned but the date has not been set yet. Basketball is the big topic around here as the Jones County Invitational Tournament is still in session with White River playing Jones County for championship on Monday night. We also had the White River Middle School team playing Kadoka on Monday night. Norris has a lot of guys on both teams so folks will really be keep- ing the road busy tonight; hope they get there safely and on time. The time difference complicates it, but being on Interstate 90 should help some. We are very proud of our kids, but they do keep us on the go. Maxine Allard hosted the Norris Bible Church Sunday School this week for the first time since Christ- mas. This week has been bitter cold, but hope by the time you are read- ing this that it will have warmed up. We did get a few inches of snow in the storm last week, but the wind blew in drifts so some spots are actually bare, too. It definitely looks like January and feels like it too! That explains the shortage of news this week the best, too.

Frerichs was in agreement, but notes that the Governor still missed the boat when it came to the big issues of education and Medicaid funding of nursing homes. However, said Frerichs, there is a different mood this year in the Legislature. The first year it was cuts, he said, and the second it was reform, but this year, there appears to be more concern about providing funds for education and nursing homes. Frerichs said there also appears to be support for extending the school year, which would address additional funding. By Elizabeth Sam Grosz Community News Service Senate Democratic leader Jason Frerichs, Wilmot, called it refresh- ing that Gov. Dennis Daugaards State of the State address was one that was not so divisive. This year, Daugaard centered on criminal justice reform, which, Frerichs noted, was something we can all agree on. Last years pro- posal for education reform, HB1234, was divisive, he said, from the beginning. Daugaard on Jan. 8 in Pierre proposed following the recommen- dations of a criminal justice work group, outlining three of the 18 proposals. Later, legislation was filed in the Senate to accomplish that. The proposals deal with the use of alternative drug courts, random Democrat leader expresses concern for education, Medicaid funding Area merchants, holiday shop- pers and BankWest branches once again partnered to boost the re- gional economy through the BankWest Christmas Dollars pro- gram. BankWest VP Marketing Kristin Brost said this years pro- gram provided more than $366,000 in low-interest loans to area shop- pers. The Christmas Dollars were redeemable at nearly 400 partici- pating businesses throughout cen- tral South Dakota and bank officials say interest in this years program was about average from previous years. The program is good for our local businesses and its good for our local shoppers, Brost said. The interest rate is lower than tra- ditional loans and its significantly lower than what you would pay on a credit card. The loans provide greater buying power and those purchases stay in our communities. Its truly a win-win situation and its just one way that BankWest reinvests in the communities it serves. BankWest Christmas Dollars were redeemable at 398 businesses in 13 different communities. Those communities included: Pierre, Fort Pierre, Kadoka, Philip, Murdo, Draper, Kennebec, Selby, Onida, Gettysburg, Gregory, Winner and Mitchell. Brost said the number of participating businesses fluctuates from year to year, but continually grows.

I am going to write the Interior news once more, just to let all of you that live away from here know that Interior is still on the map and doing well! Some of the highlights of last summer are: Matt Harvey has been working in the oil fields in Tioga, North Dakota, since last April. He gets home to see his family when he can. Our local Elsie Fortune, daugh- ter of Wayne and Kathy Fortune, did very well at the South Dakota High School Rodeo in Belle Fourche the last part of June. She won the title of South Dakota High School Rodeo Queen for 2012 and was the State champion for the girls break away roping. In July, she went to Rock Springs, WY, to compete in the national rodeo queen contest and ended up plac- ing 21st over all in the queen con- test, plus getting 10th place for personality. She made Interior proud. Anne Kruse, daughter of Charlie and Beth Kruse, married Bryan Shore in a beautiful outdoor wed- ding on June 30, 2012 at the Char- lie and Beth Kruse ranch. They are making their home in Sioux Falls, where both are employed. Many people from near and far came to Interior for the Fourth of July celebration. They had a nice parade, plenty of excitement at the rodeo, lots and lots of good food and good visiting. They also had a huge fireworks display with some people coming from a distance just for that event. The people of Inte- rior and surrounding area are to be commended for all of their work to put on such a fine family celebra- tion. The summer was hot and dry, but the grasshoppers were more than plentiful! Ol' Man White River even dried up completely for two and a half months! The deer had to come to the stock tanks for water. Hopefully, we'll get some nice moisture for this spring and summer. Kelly and Pat Fortune joined the South Dakota Stock Growers on a trip to Ireland last October. They toured ranches and farms and said it was a most enjoyable trip. Kyle and Tricia Amiotte and family of Wall spent the Saturday and Sunday before Christmas at the home of Kyle's mother, Asta Amiotte. Asta spent part of Christ- mas Eve with Tucker and Corinn Amiotte and family, then left for Winner to spend some time at the home of Jeff and Dondee Kro- likowski and family. Jesse and Alice Baysinger went to Phoenix, AZ, to spend Christmas with their son, Wesley, and Lupe Baysinger and Taylor. They had an enjoyable time and returned home on December 29. Jesse and Alice are now living in Rapid City per- manently now. They would enjoy hearing from their Badlands friends. Terry and Shirley Gartner have sold their Badlands Grocery store to Brett and Christi Guptill re- cently. The Guptill's took over Jan- uary 1 and are anxious to do business with you. Judy Livermont and her daugh- ter, Stevie Uhlir, went to Chamber- lain and Ft. Pierre a couple weeks ago to attend gymnastic meets. Stevie's daughter, Shelby, com- peted at the meets. This is Shelby's first year and she did a good job. Asta Amiotte enjoyed supper at the Chuck and Jan Carlbom home about a week ago. Wayne and Kathy Fortune went to Wall last weekend for the Wall high school senior projects. Their daughter, Elsie, is a senior in Wall this year. Carpel tunnel surgery seems to be the going thing around here lately. Jena Amiotte had surgery on both hands last summer, Norman Amiotte had surgery on one hand in November and Chuck Carlbom had surgery on one hand in Decem- ber and will have the other hand done this Tuesday, January 15. They all say it is instant relief and are glad to have it done. The Interior Volunteer Fire De- partment is building a new fire house in Interior. It is bigger and mostly enclosed now. Charlie and Beth Kruse enjoyed a nice Christmas with all of their kids and their spouses home. Sev- eral of the Kruse family and friends left January 2 to go skiing at Steamboat Springs, CO. Carla Mcleron has been in the swing bed at the Philip hospital for some time now and could use your prayers. She also enjoys visitors. Shirley Gartner sure appreci- ated all of her family and friends, from near and far, for all of their prayers, lovely gifts and flowers during her illness. She is grateful to all of you. All of my family got together and had a birthday supper for me at the home of Ken and Julie Bartlett on Saturday evening.

However, Gilbertson said, the Northern Hills Drug Program, which was what he called a leap of faith five years ago, is now being used as an example of what can be accomplished statewide. In recent years, the program has been ex- panded to the southern Black Hills, as well as Pierre and Sioux Falls. This past year an alcohol court was begun in Aberdeen and a drug court in Yankton began this month. The first graduates of the 18- month program said to a person that it would have been easier to just go to the pen and do their time, said Gilbertson, but they have proved that with proper guid- ance people can be returned a pro- ductive member of society. So far, the success rate is in the 81-per- cent range. These courts, he stressed are for drug and alcohol addicts, not for drug pushers or violent criminals. This alternative to probation or penitentiary time are proven to work better to break the revolving door of crime with fewer tax dollars being spent, said Gilbertson. They give the sentencing judge tools in addition to the traditional penitentiary sentences and proba- tion. The previous day a comprehen- sive bill entitled the South Dakota Public Safety Improvement Act was filed in the Senate as SB70. The proposed legislation, according to Gov. Dennis Daugaard, is en- dorsed by everyone in the system from sheriffs and police up to the chief justice. The bill is the result of a task force study. By Elizabeth Sam Grosz Community News Service The skyrocketing cost of housing drug and alcohol offenders in the S.D. Penitentiary system and the number of repeat offenders is com- ing under scrutiny by the state ju- diciary system. South Dakota Supreme Court Chief Justice David Gilbertson said Jan. 9 that the state cannot con- tinue on its current path because the spiraling costs of the penal sys- temat $25,000 per year to house an inmateor there will be noth- ing left in the future to spend on other programs, such as education. Gilbertson said, as an example, in the 1980s there were 32 beds in the womens prison, where now today there are 450 females. That, he said, is a 15-fold increase in 20 years. The increase is male prison- ers is similar, he added. Much of that increase, he said, is in non-violent crimes resulting from alcohol and drug abuse. Gilbertson noted that after 37 years in the criminal justice sys- tem, he is now seeing a third gen- eration of certain families running afoul of our criminal laws, and the choices have only been sending them to prison or back out on pro- bation.

Kadoka 10 22 30 37 Stanley Co. 13 22 38 58 Playing out the tournament for 7th and 8th place, Kadoka was matched up with the Stanley County Buffaloes. We had beaten Stanley County earlier this year with a very well played game, Reiman said. Again, the first half was solid for us and I think our defense was key. Our press altered the game early with some easy baskets and created turnovers for us. I wish I could say the same for the second half. We didnt show up. Coach said their offense was sluggish and they werent aggres- sive in their press. Without the in- tensity, their half-court defense and rebounding suffered. That al- lowed Stanley County easy shots. Once again VanderMay led the team with 19 points and he was 4/7 from the line. Lane Patterson and Hotsumi had 5 points apiece, Christensen 4, Shane Ring 3 and Porch 1. The boys can put together some strong quarters, but we need to see more consistency. We have flashes of high energy which keeps us strong on both sides of the ball. The bad thing is just like a light switch it goes off. As we continue, we need to have tough practices with high energy and see if the team can start putting four quar- ters together. I know its there we just have to find it. Keep working Kougars! --by Coach Mark Reiman Kadoka 4 14 21 32 White River 33 56 73 90 Our first opponent of the Jones County Invitational was the num- ber one rated White River Tigers. It was a struggle early in the game. White River opened up with a big lead in the first quarter. After the initial push I thought the boys set- tled in and played well. We missed some easy shots early but kept our composure and played a good sec- ond half, Kadoka head coach Mark Reiman said. From the starting line-up, Kenar VanderMay led the Kougars with 16 points. He was the only Kougar to step to the line, making 2/4 shots. Also scoring, True Buchholz put in 8, Chris Anderson 4 and Logan Christensen and Brenden Porch put in 2 apiece. Scoring from the Tiger lineup there were five players in double figures with Wyatt Krogman 18, Travis Burbank 16, Joe Cameron 15, Gilbert Morrison 13 and Nic Waln 10. Each team had 8 fouls. Kadoka 10 21 23 31 Bennett Co. 4 20 34 48 The Kougars were up against the Bennett County Warriors in their second game of the tourna- ment. The boys played a very strong first half. We executed well in our half-court offense and rebounded the ball well. Our energy right out of the gate was terrific. The second half was not like the first. We were slow with our cuts on offense and didnt take care of the ball, Reiman said. Bennett County outscored the Kougars 14-2 in the third quarter. The fourth quarter was similar to the third. VanderMay and Anderson led Kougars struggle at the Jones County Tournament Jerica Coller on the beam.

Lyman stepped up the second quarter and outscored the Kougars 12-6, which gave the Raiders a two- point lead at halftime. The Kougars struggled the second half, unable to convert their shots and committing 16 second-half fouls. The Lady Kougars played hard to the end, but couldn't make it up. Kwincy Ferguson ended the game with 8 points, Tessa Stout and Raven Jorgensen with 5 points, Marti Herber, Taylor Merchen and Shaley Herber with 4 points and Katie Lensegrav with 2. The Kougars were 8/21 from the free throw line and had 12 turnovers. Kadoka 11 18 35 47 N. Underwood 11 30 39 55 The Kadoka Lady Kougars had their first game of 2013, travelling to play the New Underwood Tigers. Both teams played a good first quarter. However, New Underwood stepped up and outscored the Kougars in the second quarter 19- 7. Kadoka also found themselves in foul trouble by the time they headed for the locker room. Kadoka came back fighting in the third quarter, outscoring the Tigers 16-9 and only trailing by five at the end of the third quarter. The fourth quarter was a battle as the lead kept changing between the Kougars and the Tigers. During the final minutes, Kadoka got in foul trouble, which put New Under- wood on the free throw line. Kadoka worked hard, but was un- able to get the win. Taylor Merchen had a good de- fensive game and also led scoring with 16 points. Tessa Stout fol- lowed with 14 points and was 6/6 at the free-throw line. Kwincy Fergu- son contributed 10 points, Katie Lensegrav 6 points and Marti Her- ber had a free throw. As a team, Kadoka was 14/22 on the line and New Underwood was 22/40. It was a hard-fought game to the very end. The girls worked as a team and kept positive, talking and en- couraging each other the whole way. This is what the team needs to do every day in practice as well in every game.

Chairman Stilwell reported that he had spoken with a Mellette County represen- tative and they have no problem with the system as it has been set up. Jackie Stil- well informed the board is not unhappy with the system either. She stated she feels there has been a lack of communi- cation, and expectations need to be dis- cussed. Suggestion was made that quarterly leaders meetings be held. It is the concensus of the Board of Jackson County Commissioners to continue the four county group and continue with the Memorandum of Understanding with SDSU. Denke presented information from the Sheep Growers Association. The Associ- ation prepared a letter of support for counties to use in urging the Governor to investigate the Animal Damage Control (ADC) and Wildlife Damage Manage- Mark says it is critical for pro- ducers to develop an enterprise budget for their cow-calf operations based on projected cattle prices and expenses for 2013. Whether or not to grow a herd this year will be de- termined by the potential returns available this year. Mark adds that expenses are vary considerably across different geographic areas and amongst producers, but he pro- vided some average costs in a re- cent iGrow.org article; visit iGrow.org/beef to review his budget example. "Interestingly, even in a year like 2013 when we expect near- record high feeder cattle prices, my pro-forma cow-calf budget gener- ated a sizeable loss when including all fixed costs and opportunity costs for labor and other non-cash variable expenses. However, there was more than a $50 per head re- turn over cash costs including pas- ture," Mark said. "So, some producers may expand their herds in 2013 based on covering their cash costs." Mark adds that his projections suggest a limited number of pro- ducers will find a profitable oppor- tunity to expand - and even then they have to have access to produc- tive pasture and other feedstuffs and capital." But, the historically tight supply of cattle suggests feeder cattle prices should remain high for years to come, and suggest a profit oppor- tunity may exist over the next sev- eral years for those that can make the investment to grow their herd," he said. "In all likelihood, any ex- pansion plans this year will be gov- erned by the drought and when/if it ends." USDA estimated that there were 29.833 million beef cows in the country on Jan. 1, 2012. The USDA's annual cattle inventory re- port, to be released on Feb. 1, will provide this year's first official count of the herd, but based on beef cow slaughter and expected heifer retention last year, beef cow num- bers were likely 1 percent to 1.5 percent lower on Jan. 1, 2013, says Darrell R. Mark, Adjunct Professor of Economics at South Dakota State University. "There will be much discussion throughout the year about the pos- sibility of the beef cow herd begin- ning expansion from its 50-year low," Mark said. "While expected record cattle prices point to growth in beef cow numbers, the individ- ual choice for a producer to expand cow numbers is a complex, multi- year decision made difficult by high and volatile input prices." Mark says a number of factors will influence cow-calf producers' decisions regarding herd expansion in 2013: availability of pasture, range and other feedstuffs; land values and rental rates; expected cattle prices for 2013 and beyond; herd productivity; and lifestyle choices. "Ultimately, the decision to ex- pand this year will be based on the expected returns available this year," he said. "While there are a number of ways to increase cow herd numbers, including retaining additional heifers from the 2013 calf crop or breeding retained heifers from last years' calf crop, at this point in the yearly production cycle, I think most producers would concentrate on buying bred stock so that a calf is available to be sold in 2013." How likely is cow herd expansion in 2013 rural communities. Strong schools, housing, and healthcare are all critical components of economic de- velopment for local communities. The State of the Judiciary speech by Chief Justice Gilbertson reminded many of us that we have a shortage of lawyers in rural areas, which is related to the over- all need to attract more young fam- ilies in rural communities. Chief Justice Gilbertson also referenced current drug and alcohol alterna- tive courts and showed how they assist in rehabilitation of troubled citizens, and recommended our state continue to expand their pres- ence. Veterans needs are more im- portant now than ever, and SD Democrats join the bipartisan ef- forts to expand services for our Vets. No other topic dominates the agenda of Democratic legislators more than providing adequate funding to our public schools. I was once a teacher myself and I know that education is the key to eco- nomic opportunity in the state of South Dakota. The drastic cuts to education passed by the 2011 Leg- islature have left a huge hole to fill. These cuts from the funding for- mula have resulted in close to 500 South Dakota educators losing their jobs. The result in District 27 schools, and all across the state, was loss of electives and programs, larger class sizes, and fewer key support staff like teacher aids. Re- pairing this damage will be my highest priority. On other important topics to rural South Dakotans, Democratic leadership is working on legislation that came from the Regional Wa- tershed Advisory Taskforce which streamlines the process to estab- lish local watershed districts. We also have a strong interest in advo- cating for changes to grain buyer rules and regulations in light of the recent failure of Anderson Seeds sunflower operation. We must work together to give preference to the delivering producers/farmers when insolvency happens in grain pur- chasing facilities. Lastly we will advocate for creative opportunities to invest in research at our land grant university along with pub- lic/private partnerships to brand our State as truly the most favor- able research State in the Country! I invite you to contact me with your questions and concerns. I may be reached at 605-685-4241 or Sen.Bradford@state.sd.us Greetings from start of the 88th Session of the SD Legislature from your District 27 Senator Jim Brad- ford. Because of the redistricting process, there are many of you vot- ers who are new to this District. Id like to welcome you and encourage you to contact me. For those of you who I havent yet met, Id like to in- troduce myself in this message. Ive served in the SD Legislature for a total of 12 years, 8 years in the House and was recently was re- elected to my third term in the Sen- ate. District 27 is geographically one of the largest in the state and includes Bennett, Haakon, Jack- son, Pennington and Shannon counties. I recently served on the Governors Criminal Justice Task Initiative Task Force which will be bringing forth legislation in this Session to improve our justice sys- tem by providing for increases in drug and alcohol courts. The focus here is to help people recover, not put them in prison. This Session, Ill serve on both the Senate Health and Judiciary Committees. As a group, we legislators should always be reminded that we serve as citizen lawmakers and take great pride in our accessibility to all of you as constituents of our state. Like you, our regular jobs and involvement in local commu- nity activities allows us to stay grounded and held accountable. We are the Peoples Legislature. This year the Governor's State of the State provided a shared op- timistic outlook on the current sta- tus and future of our great state. Stewardship is an understood con- cept by all of us who know how to pay our bills and be an asset to so- ciety. The criminal justice reform legislation will be a focal point for this legislative session, and we look forward to the potential this bill has for an increased focus on alter- native sentencing, mental health, and integrating our prisoners back into society. All of this will require upfront investment of money and people, but we can hopefully avoid the need to build more prisons in the near future. The Governor chose to focus on the less confronta- tional issues, but at the same time avoided giving us his direction on working with our partners includ- ing schools and nursing homes. Along with our partners, it is our hope that we can find ways to cre- ate true economic development throughout all of South Dakota with a strong focus of bringing more young people back to our From Senator Jim Bradford Public Notices January 17, 2013 Kadoka Press Page 7 SPECIAL MEETING Board of Jackson County Commissioners December 28, 2012 The Board of Jackson County Commis- sioners met in special session at 1:00 p.m., Friday, December 28, 2012 in the Commissioners Room of the Jackson County Courthouse.

JC Heath, President [Published January 17, 2013, at the total approximate cost of $12.35] News January 17, 2013 Kadoka Press Page 8 Farmers IncomeTax Record Books available at the Kadoka Press Sometimes we wonder if that cow rattling the chute is worth keeping. Recent research suggests maybe not, said Elaine Grings, SDSU Extension Cow/Calf Man- agement & Production Specialist. Grings points to studies con- ducted several years ago with Brahman-crosses which found that cows with excitable temperaments had lower pregnancy rates than their calmer herdmates. Re- searchers at Oregon State Univer- sity expanded the study to look at the effect of cattle temperament and acclimation to handling on re- productive performance in Angus Hereford cross cows. Their results were reported in the October issue of the Journal of Animal Science. More than 400 spring-calving range cows at two locations in east- ern Oregon were tested for tem- perament using both a chute score and measurement of exit velocity from a squeeze chute. The chute score is a 5-point scale, 1 being as- signed calm cattle which exhibited no movement and a 5 assigned to violent animals which exhibited continuous struggling. Exit velocity was also measured with an infrared sensor and con- verted to a 1-5 point scale - 1 given to the slowest and 5 to the fastest. The chute and exit scores were av- eraged to give a temperament score, animals with a score of less than 3 received an adequate score whereas, animals receiving a 3 or greater received a temperament score of aggressive. About 25 per- cent of the cows were scored as ag- gressive and these cows had lower pregnancy rates of 89 percent com- pared to the adequate tempera- ment cows, which had a pregnancy rate of 95 percent. "At one location, cows were bred by AI and then exposed to natural service clean up bulls. The second location used natural service mat- ing only," Grings said. "The fact that bulls were used indicates that the lowered pregnancy rates in the aggressive cows were not due only to stress during handling at AI." Cow body condition and calf birth and weaning weights were not different between the groups and there were also no difference between groups in pregnancy loss or loss of calves from birth to wean- ing. Decreased weight of calves weaned per cow exposed in the ag- gressive groups was related to the effect on pregnancy rate alone. "Based on this and other stud- ies, the researchers suggest culling on temperament or adapting cattle to handling could help in maximiz- ing reproductive performance in beef cows," she said. These researchers reported on a second study on the effect of accli- mating heifers to handling on re- productive performance. After weaning, they divided 6-month-old heifers into two groups of about 44 heifers each. One group was processed through a handling facil- ity three times a week for four weeks. Heifers receiving more fre- quent handling reached puberty at an earlier age than their herd- mates, but pregnancy rates after AI were not different. The more fre- quently-handled heifers had lower exit scores, but not chute scores compared to those handled less fre- quently. "The researchers therefore sug- gest that exposing heifers to han- dling and human interaction may improve reproduction," Grings said. "They do caution that this training needs to occur when ani- mals are fairly young." In a previous study, when they attempted to acclimate mature cows to handling, they were not successful at improving pregnancy rates. Grings says there are still some questions left to be answered. "We still need to determine, what the minimum amount of han- dling needed to train an animal and what is the best age for train- ing," she said. In summary: Pregnancy rates were improved in groups of cows with less aggres- sive temperaments. Heifers accli- mated to handling at about 6 months of age reached puberty at an earlier age and had lower chute exit scores than heifers handled less frequently. Acclimating young animals to handling and culling on temperament may have beneficial effects on reproduction in beef cat- tle.

When one considers the demand for corn by the ethanol industry, positively impacting the price of corn, and the dramatic improve- ments in corn genetics and subse- quent yield improvements, its not surprising that corn is surpassing wheat in planted acres. Wheat is still an important crop however, not only for the flour and the many products generated from it, but for the inherent benefits it provides. Wheat and other small grains is the ultimate high residue crop, offering significant benefits to any crop rotation, par- ticularly land under no-till man- agement. Although farmers often curse the residue generated by a bounti- ful wheat crop from the previous year when planting a spring crop, a mat of residue is considered one of the keys to successful no-till farming. The mat of residue that a good wheat crop produces may be most valuable in the heat of the summer, when it helps to shade the soil, keeping it cooler than bare ground, and reducing evaporation. Wheat is better at generating this mat of residue than many other crops. Anyone who has heard Dwayne Beck talk in the past several years has certainly heard about the amazing difference in wheat yields in two very similar crop rotations at the Dakota Lakes Research Farm. The high residue rotation consists of two years of high residue crops, corn and wheat, with the other year being field peas. The low residue rotation consists of two high residue crops, corn and wheat, and two low residue crops, soybeans and field peas, both broadleaves. The high residue rotation produces better wheat yields than the low residue rotation, but the big dif- ference shows up in dry years, like 2002 and 2006, where the high residue rotation produced right at 60 Bu/A, and the low residue ro- tation less than 30 Bu/A. The amazing thing is that the previous two crops were the same, corn and then field peas. Kansas State University re- search estimates that residue left on the field vs. removing it can save as much as 2 of water. Under the right conditions, this 2 could produce an additional 34 Bu/A of corn and 12 Bu/A of wheat. Re- search also indicates that 100 lbs of dry soil containing 4-5% organic matter can hold 165195 lbs of water, whereas 100 lbs of dry soil containing 1.52% organic matter can only hold 3545 lbs of water. Once again, wheat and other small grains are king when it comes to generating residue and organic matter. A presenter recently said farm- ers should raise field peas because the best way to raise a good corn crop is to raise a good wheat crop to plant into. That speaks well for both field peas and wheat in a crop rotation. The wisdom of planting corn into wheat residue certainly showed in the summer of 2012. Particularly winter wheat has also shown to be highly beneficial to at least two populations of wildlife; ducks and pheasants. Be- cause they are seeded in the fall, winter wheat fields remain rela- tively undisturbed throughout the nesting season the following year. Consider maintaining or including wheat in your crop rotation; it can pay.

This is a tough chal- lenge for most Americans during the winter months since fresh pro- duce is considered offseason. Ac- quaint yourself with wintertime fruits and vegetables to maintain your grocery budget and keep your plate healthy. Wintertime fruits and vegeta- bles actually include a large vari- ety. Wintertime fruits include: clementines, pears, oranges, cran- berries, bananas, red grapes, grapefruits, kiwi and pomegran- ates. Citrus fruits such as kiwi, clementines and oranges, are high in vitamin C. They are a great choice to consume during winter months to strengthen the immune system for fighting off viruses. Enjoy a banana with your lunch or as a snack. They are inexpensive, portable and available year round. They are cholesterol free, and high in potassium, vitamins A and C. Vegetables that you can access easily during the winter months are: Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, snow peas, carrots, artichokes, broccoli and winter squash. Popular varieties of winter squash are pumpkin, butternut, acorn and spaghetti squash. They are easy to cook and are high in vi- tamins A and C. In addition, they are free of cholesterol, fat and sodium. Broccoli is a popular win- tertime vegetable; it has as much calcium per ounce as milk. It is also a good source of folate, iron, fiber and vitamins A and C. Consider purchasing fresh fruit and vegetable produce items when they are in season and freeze them to have on hand for winter months. Another option is to purchase frozen fruits and vegetables when they are on sale. The nutrients are locked in, since they are picked at their peak of ripeness. During the winter, we can also rely on canned fruits and vegeta- bles. For canned items, choose fruit canned in 100% fruit juice and vegetables with no salt added or low sodium on the label. Try making a breakfast smoothie for a meal or a quick, healthy snack using frozen fruit to cheer you up on a cold winter day. It will thicken the beverage with- out diluting the flavor.
