Petitions have been filed andthere will be an April 9th election.

The election will include seatson the Kadoka Area School Boardand the Kadoka City Council.

The three-year terms of KenLensegrav, Dawn Rasmussen andDan VanderMay were to expire onthe school board. All three of the in-cumbents filed petitions.

In addition, Robert Fugate,Jerome High Horse and Sam Stod-dard have also filed petitions.

There will be three winnersvoted in on the school board.

For the City of Kadoka, MayorHarry Weller was the only one tofile for the mayor’s position.

Dick Stolley did not file for hisposition in Ward I. He will be re-seated.

In Ward II there were no peti-tions filed. One would have beenfor a one-year term (vacant seat),and the other for Kieth Prang.

The only election race for thecity will be in Ward III. IncumbentRyan Willert filed a petition, alongwith Ben Latham.

In Belvidere, Rudy Reimann didnot file a petition. Therefore he willbe reseated.

John Rodger filed his petition fora three-year term.

The Kadoka School and City ofKadoka will be sharing a joint elec-tion on Tuesday, April 9.

There willbe a jointelection ported the bill as necessary for

teacher and student safety, andthose who feared the presence ofguns would most certainly end inaccidental shootings and unin-tended deaths of those who weremeant to be protected.

Tieszen recounted instances fromthe 1990s when he was a Rapid Citypolice commander in which anarmed student threatened fellowstudents. Of 13 threats in RapidCity following the Columbine schoolshooting in 1999, Tieszen said, twowere credible and could have causedharm if not stopped

“So, if we think we are immunein South Dakota,” Tieszen said,“think again.”

Rep. Scott Craig, R-Rapid City,refuted the assumption that this billwas in response to the Sandy HookElementary School shooting re-cently. He said he had presented hisconcept to the Legislative ResearchCouncil in December and the shoot-ings took place two weeks later.

That, he said, “confirmed therightness of this bill.” Since then, hesaid, there have been four more in-cidents seen nationally.

Compelling opposition came fromNew Underwood School Superin-tendent Jeff Marlette, who is a re-tired Brigadier General who sawcombat.

“Have we now reached a place

that our state has gotten so bad, sounsafe,” Marlette asked, whereteachers need to carry guns? Heoutlined the dangers of peripheraldamage that even trained law en-forcement can inflict when trying tobring down a gunman.

Rob Monson, State Association ofSchool Administrators, presentedan amendment that would havechanged the bill’s intent to an in-terim study topic.

Tieszen later called the so-called“hog house” of the bill an “ambush,”noting he had seen the amendmentfor “exactly 32 minutes” during themeeting. He called the attempt “in-tensely disrespectful.”

That amendment was defeated.Sen. Larry Lucas, D-Mission,

said the sentinel bill was an impor-tant issue, in fact, “this is THE issueof the 2013 session.” He added,“what we have in place is working,”noting that boards could alreadyhire guards.

Chairman Larry Rhoden, R-Union Center, said the bill’s intenthas been blown out of proportion.He said it would allow the state’s152 school districts to decidewhether to participate in a sentinelprogram.

The bill now travels to the Senatefloor for final legislative considera-tion.

The controversial “Sentinel” billwhich would allow local schoolboards to put armed guards insideschools passed out of the SenateState Affairs Committee last week.

About 60 people were on hand atthe meeting, despite snow—andlimited travel--in much of the state.Time constraints, however, limitedthe number of people testifying, aswell as the length of their com-ments.

The vote to send HB1087 to theSenate floor as amended was 5-4.This surprised many observers whohad expected the vote to swing theother way.

The amendment removed an ad-dition made by the House that al-lowed school boards to discuss andmake a decision in executive sessionto implement a sentinel program.

Sen. Mark Johnston, R-SiouxFalls, noted that such action wouldconflict with the existing open meet-ing statutes.

Sen. Craig Tieszen, R-Rapid City,agreed, noting that it must be apublicly made decision, but afterthat details could be handled in ex-ecutive session as a personnel mat-ter.

The lines were still drawn in thetestimony between those who sup-

Grapplers capture State B Wrestling Tournament runner-up spot

The Badlands Brawlers took the State B Wrestling Tournament by storm and brought back the runner-up trophy. The team took thesecond place spot early during the first day of action and never looked back, but they might have been sweating it a little there at the end. The secondplace finish wasn’t secured until the fourth to last match when a Canton wrestler, who was expected to win, failed to do so. Just four points separatedthe second through fourth place teams.

•A lively debate in the House onFeb. 22 centered on the medical carefor certain unborn children. WhileRep. Bernie Hunhoff, D-Yankton,urged passage to ensure pre-natalcare that would save money by pro-ducing healthier babies, other law-makers worried that those lowincome mothers were illegal aliens.Several amendments to that endwere defeated before final passageof HB1214 by 39-28 was accom-plished, sending it off to the Senatefor its consideration. The bill hadbeen forgiven the crossover deadlinebecause of a requested fiscal noteattached to it.

2 Chronicles 20:1-13The cultural emphasis on “self” has bred a prayer

crisis. Too many believers focus on a problem or its per-ceived solution instead of making God the center oftheir attention. Second Chronicles 20 shows us a betterway.

King Jehoshaphat faced a dire situation: “a great multitude” approaching quickly to overthrow him.If he had wrung his hands and wailed instead of concentrating on God’s promises and past provision,Jerusalem might have been wiped out as the Moabites and Ammonites intended. The king magnified the Lord’s greatness, recalling for himself and his people many divine triumphs.In that way, he was able to bolster the Israelites’ courage and prepare them for whatever solution Godproposed. Through the words of his powerful entreaty, Jehoshaphat revealed his firm belief that no problem—not even three fast-approaching murderous armies—is bigger than the Lord of the universe. The Israelitearmy was powerless against such an onslaught, but the king refused to give in to his initial fear and de-spair. “Our eyes are on You,” he pledged. In other words, “We know You have a plan, and we are waitingto hear what to do.” Seeking the Lord’s will and His best way is a priority for those who want to solveproblems through prayer. God doesn’t want us to pray casually, “Lord, please solve my problem. Amen!” and then rush into ourday, thinking we’ve done well to unload our difficulty onto Him. If He’s going to solve a problem, we shouldhave our ears and mind open to receive His answer—and our heart ready to obey.

Solving Problems throughPrayer

Inspiration Point

dress is school funding and the recentattempts to transfer even more ofthis responsibility towards the localproperty taxpayer.

The number of opt-outs now in ef-fect is alarming. That proves that thestate continues to push the obligationto fund our public schools to local tax-payers. This school year, 66 of our151 public schools are currently in anopt-out with many more districtslikely to try to pass one if the statecontinues to underfund schools.

And now there’s Senate Bill 15which passed on Feb. 20th and whichI strongly opposed. SB 15 will alsoforce schools to increase their levy forspecial education costs. Much of thecost increases in SB 15 are as a resultof the 2011 budget cuts when thefunding for students with disabilitieswas also reduced. In the past, theremay have been adequate money inthe state's Extraordinary Cost Fundto reimburse all schools that couldnot pay all of their special educationbills. Today, however, that fund hasdiminished and schools will need toraise property taxes to cover their on-going special education costs. Sen-ate Bill 15 allows the mill levies to beset higher to cover these costs.All legislators say they support edu-cation as a top priority, so it is puz-zling why our local schools arealways left with scraps when the leg-islature adjourns every March. I amstill hopeful that we can do betterthis year.

The last two weeks of session arewhen the revenue estimates are up-dated and all of the bills which re-quire appropriations will pass or fail.We are at the proverbial tipping pointon school funding. Now is the time tostop shifting that balance towardsthe local taxpayer and for the state topick up a greater share of its respon-sibility.

I invite you to contact me withyour questions and concerns on thesetopics or any of interest to you. I maybe reached at 605-685-4241 orSen.Bradford@state.sd.us

On Wednesday, Feb. 20 there wasa joint hearing of both the House andSenate Committees on Health andHuman Services to listen to testi-mony on Medicaid Expansion. I serveon this committee and was privilegedto receive this information

We heard from over 20 differentpresenters from across the state.They represented health careproviders from both large systemsand those who served rural areas.Other testimonies were from AARP,ministerial groups, the AmericanCancer Society, the SD Medical Asso-ciation and those who work in healthcare in the criminal system. Finallythere were many individuals whogave very compelling testimonytelling their own stories. When peo-ple don’t have access to affordablehealth insurance and their employerdoesn’t offer any health care benefits,they are only one serious accident orillness away from bankruptcy.

The population affected by the ex-pansion would be South Dakota’sworking poor who do not typically re-ceive health insurance through theiremployer. If states choose to expandMedicaid, the federal governmentwill cover 100 percent of the costsfrom 2014 to 2016. The feds' contri-bution will begin to decrease in 2017,but will never be less than 90 per-cent, under the ACA. This expansionwould bring close to $200 million fed-eral dollars to SD to care for those inneed, make our citizens healthier,and keep them out of more expensiveemergency care.

Every day more states decide toexpand Medicaid. Minnesota’s legis-lature made that decision this weekas did Florida. Bottom line, if wedon’t expand, we will have peoplewho need this benefit and will gowithout it. While it is a difficult deci-sion, let’s remember that failure toact will only leave more SouthDakotans without medical coverageand continue to drive them to emer-gency care when they do need help.The federal dollars we turn down willonly be distributed to other states,not “saved” or applied to federalspending more to our liking.

The next issue I would like to ad-

such restrictions. Many cattle on theEast side of the state have ear tags.I’d like to see the law changed so allcattle in the state are branded.Thieves can bring cattle to a sale-barn and get paid for them in a mat-ter of a few hours. They can givewhatever name you like, and there islittle chance to catch the rustlers.Rustling is just one way livestockcrime occurs, there are a lot of ways.Physically stealing them out of a pas-ture, theft by embezzlement and cat-tle cared for by people are taken.Some people agree to watch cattle forsomeone else and then sell the cattleand pocket the money. Some thievesdouble-mortgage cattle and commitfraud in other ways.”

Also, co-owner of Mitchell Live-stock Auction, told The Daily Repub-lic that cattle rustling is still aconcern in the industry. KimballLivestock Exchange owner said asthe price of beef rises, so do concernsabout rustling. He also goes on to saythat cattle theft seems to be a biggerproblem than it was before.

In 2010, Joe Varner, a NorthDakota man who owned several salebarns in the region, pleaded no con-test to a charge of grand theft after188 head of yearling heifers thatwere under U.S. Bankruptcy Courtcontrol went missing from Water-town Livestock Auction in 2009.

Jerry Derr also served as Directorof Investigations for the SouthDakota State Brand Board for sixyears. He was quoted as saying,”South Dakota is unique because thewestern part of the state requiresbranding, while the eastern part doesnot and that is where the loopholelies. Let’s say we’re here in westernSouth Dakota, somebody could comeout here on the prairie and steal aload of cattle. They could take themto Sioux Falls and sell them becausethey have nobody looking at thebrand to determine ownership.” Derralso goes on to say, “The State BrandBoard was created in 1937 to providelivestock owners with a system of an-imal identification through brandregistration and to ensure properownership of stock.” Derr believesbranding is the best method becauseit can’t be ripped off or cut out likeear tags can. Brands are permanent.

In 2004 Iowa Public Television in-terviewed rancher, Ron Ragsdalefrom Rapid City area. Mr. Ragsdaleexplains, “You live in continual fearthat instead of one truckload beingstolen there may be four or five truck-loads. And, you get to the point withany operation where it’s not bigenough to support you and thethieves both.” From 1999 to 2004 hehad been a target of cattle thieves,costing him over $250,000.

And finally, we need to considerthe impact that cattle rustling has onour local economies. Start with thebanks that are making the loans.They have no reassurance that theState has consistency in brand lawsthat protects the interest of the bank.We also have to consider the impactthat this might have on the ability foryoung peple to obtain a loan. A localsheriff said, “Most of the calls aboutlivestock theft come from the banks.”We need to take into considerationthe implications of our vote on ourlocal economies, the young rancherand the viability of our livestock in-dustry.

Beef: In South Dakota there areapproximately 17,000 ranchers andcattlemen that produce 3.7 millionhead of cattle–we have more cattlethan people! In South Dakota, thecattle industry is a family businesswith nearly all of the cattle busi-nesses having been in the same fam-ilies for more than 25 years.Today, there are more than 26,000registered brands in the state.

The Brand and Mark Committeewas dissolved in 1925 and The StateBand Board was created in 1937.

The board operates entirely onuser fees generated from livestockbrand registration, renewals, trans-fers and inspections. No general fundmoney is used by the board.

I’m sorry to report that this billfailed with a vote of 47 Nays, 22 Yeasand 1 excused. Nine west river Rep-resentative’s voted against this bill,Rep. Cammack, Rep. Craig, Rep.Dryden, Rep. Johns, Rep. Lust, Rep.Schaefer, Rep. Sy, Rep. Wink andRep. Gosch. We saw strong lobbyingfrom SD Dept of Agriculture, NCBA,Farm Bureau, SD Feedlots and SDLivestock Markets all in opposition.

HB 1135 was the highly con-tentious bill that caused a lot of de-bate on the floor. I wrote about it inmy Feb. 11-15 column. It regulatesaccess to and use of non-meanderedwaters on private property.

The Legislature was off Mondayfor the President’s Day holiday, butthe House and Senate worked hardTuesday and Wednesday as they facethe deadline for getting bills out ofthe chamber in which they origi-nated. That deadline, calledcrossover day, was Wednesday. AllSenate bills must be dealt with by theSenate — either passed and sent tothe House or killed — and the Housemust finish work on its own bills.

The school sentinels proposalpassed a key Senate committee 5-4on Friday and needs only approvalfrom the Senate to head to Gov. Den-nis Daugaard to be signed into law.Under the proposal, school boardscould vote to arm sentinels providedlocal law enforcement approved andthe sentinels underwent trainingwith the state. Rural schools, locatedfar from local law enforcement andwithout police resource officers, wantthe proposal’s flexibility. As I saidearly, I support the bill because ofour neighbors to the north that areseeing influx of oil drilling activity.Across the boarder in Montana lastyear two men that came from the oilfields raped and murdered a teacheron her way to school. Harding Countyis the largest county in the state withvast land and very few residents. Myconcern is the school sets right onHWY 85 which is the main through-way for the oil boom. Harding Countyitself takes in part of the Red RiverFormation. Unlike our area theyhave one sheriff and one deputy sher-iff to cover 2600 square miles.

The South Dakota Legislature hasgiven final approval to a measurethat would allow 1-cent bets in videolottery games. The House voted 39-28Thursday to approve the measure,which was passed earlier by the Sen-ate. The bill, which was proposed bythe state Lottery Commission, nowgoes to Gov. Dennis Daugaard for hissignature. The law currently allows aminimum bet of five cents. The meas-ure would allow players to bet as lit-tle as one cent. Supporters say pennybets are needed for new machinesthat offer line-up games similar toslot machines. They say the bill ispart of an effort to make the gamesfresh and entertaining. I voted for thebill reluctantly, but the fact is theState of South Dakota and localeconomies have become addicted togambling revenue. Until we findother ways to curb that addition I’mafraid we have limited alternatives.

HB 1204 An Act to require theBoard of Education to obtain legisla-tive approval before adopting anyfurther Common Core standards, andto repeal a provision requiring theboard to conduct certain public hear-ings was brought to the floor by Rep.Bolin. After considerable debate onboth sides the House of Representa-tives passed HB 1204 with YEAS 36,NAYS 32. Intent to reconsider afterthe bill passed was brought by Rep.Hajek. Several lobbying groups werebehind the scene’s encouraging theintent to reconsider, but it failed 28-41. It now goes to the Senate Ed.Committee.

HB 1089 that would require astatewide livestock ownership inspec-tion reached the floor late Wednesdaynight. Following is the floor speech Idelivered on behalf of HB 1089.

HB 1089 is long over due. InMarch of 2012 the SD Ag. Connectioninterviewed Mr. Zilverberg who is thespecial assistant attorney general forthe South Dakota Division of Crimi-nal Investigation regarding cattlerustling in South Dakota. In the1800′s, Mr. Zilverberg would havebeen called a range detective.Whenasked about cattle rustling he wasquoted as saying “It’s been steady.Exact figures are difficult to deter-mine, since reports of missing cattlearen’t matched with notices that theanimals have been found or recov-ered. Still, more than 1300 head ofcattle have been reported missingfrom South Dakota ranches andfarms in the past years, according tothe South Dakota Brand Board.Exact figures are difficult to deter-mine, since reports of missing cattlearen’t matched with notices that theanimals have been found or recov-ered. “You don’t know if they’re stolenor missing or running around,” saidZilverberg, who has been an investi-gator since 1990. But he said,“There’s no doubt rustling still oc-curs, and the losses run into thethousands, even tens of thousands ofdollars. In most cases, thieves takecattle from West River ranches andbring them to sale barns in easternSouth Dakota and sell them accord-ing. The main reason is that WestRiver cattle must be branded.

When I applied for a position at the Kadoka Press in May, 1989 I fig-ured I had a shoe in as I had, at one time, worked at a printing businessin Nebraska and I had experience operating a Compugraphic machine,which was used to set type and ads. I’ll admit that I needed a little re-fresher course and thanks to Larry and Alvina Parkinson, they got me ontrack. It was still easy to make mistakes with the settings on the machine.Like the time I had two inches of space between each line of a JacksonCounty legal. Yep, had to do it all over again! You never knew what thefinished product would look like until the film was processed. I don’t missthat machine.

I do miss the dark room, except for some of my clothing that was dam-aged due to a splash or spill of chemicals. D-76 developer and Dectolwere a little toxic and had the same effect on clothing as Clorox. I rolledmy own film and shot a lot of pictures, which was a must because, onceagain, I never knew what I had until the film was developed.

Somewhere in this time we got our first Macintosh computer. Wow,the screen must have been all of 6” by 10”, but it was leaps and boundsbetter than what we had been using.

The entire newspaper was set up on the computer, however, therewas still the need to run the print copy through a wax machine so it wouldstick to a page for layout. I was in charge of taking the pages to Philipevery Tuesday afternoon when the paper was done. There, a negativewas made of the pages and the pictures. Wednesday morning the neg-atives were taken to Pierre and the paper was printed.

Hallelujah, we finally got the Internet. Our correspondents were ableto email their news; no more waiting for Tuesday morning’s mail to knowwho would be sending news, press releases and advertising copy. Sydwanted to set up Kate with a computer so she wouldn’t have to free-handher news, but she didn’t want to take that leap. Kate did master the faxmachine, which eliminated a drive into town.

Be darned if it didn’t get better when we continued to upgrade ourcomputers and programs. My weekly Tuesday trips to Philip (which Icalled my thinking time) were replaced with simply sending the entirepaper via the Internet.

Since we moved to Belvidere I’ve had more on-the-road “thinkingtime.” I’ve been “thinking” it’s nice to get off work at 4:30, but not so whenI’d have to wait until 7:00 for a sporting event to start or a city councilmeeting to be called to order.

I’ve also been “thinking” that since the Belvidere Store has had muchoverdue renovation work done and will be opening soon, it might besmart to hang up the denim printer’s apron (which, by the way, I neverused in the dark room) and drive 5 miles to work instead of 18.

I want to thank Don and Tami for almost 24 years of employment, allthe co-workers from the other offices and Mary Poss, Korrie Wenzel,Cindy Letellier and Robyn Jones for the good times at the Kadoka Press.Also thank you to my husband for dealing with my, “I don’t know whattime the meeting will be over!” for all these years.

Who knows, maybe I’ll keep in touch through some other writing orpictures for this newspaper. It’s been fun, but it’s time to step down andlet someone else with fresh ideas take over. I’m moving on to the nextchapter. Sometimes the spring

storms can be verydangerous. The weathercan change abruptly tovery harsh conditions.If you are planning to

travel please make sureyou are aware of the

weather forecasts. If youmust be on the road, make

sure that your vehicle is equipped

properly and you have thenecessary supplies

in case youare stranded.

All my friends and relativesseem to be writing books. I hope itisn’t contagious or I might find my-self writing one too. That soundslike a lot of work since any act ofcreation, whether a book, painting,or song, takes some doing. Thesethings don’t make themselves, andthe whole process puts youthrough periods of self-doubt,worry, and mental anxiety. It’s agood feeling when you finally getsomething produced, look at it,and decide it isn’t half bad, but get-ting to that point puts you throughthe mill.

Friend Ruth, for instance, re-cently wrote a book about her firstfew years as a missionary in HongKong. While she was writing it, I’dget occasional E-mails expressingher concerns about proof readingor that she wasn’t adequately get-ting across what she wanted tosay. Her creation, “Foreign DevilGirl in Hong Kong” by Ruth Epp,is however now available throughAmazon and is a good read. It hasinsight, pathos and humor. Shealso gives one a good idea of howvery difficult it is to learn the Can-tonese Chinese dialect. Since Ihave no talent whatsoever atlearning foreign languages, Can-tonese is probably something Ishouldn’t even attempt. It’s fun,though, to read about someoneelse’s struggle in doing so. Ruthlived and worked in Hong Kongfrom 1959 until 2005 so there aremany more years to write about ifshe gets up the nerve and ambitionto pull it off.

I should probably mention that,before Ruth moved to the otherside of the world, she and herfriend, Darlene, came with Rev.Knickle in the summers andtaught us Bible School for a weekat a local country schoolhouse.They lived with us during thoseweeks so we got to know thempretty well, and we’ve kept intouch ever since.

Then we come to Cousin Verna(Heaton) Benham who recentlypublished her book, “Champagnein a Paper Cup.” It is also availablethrough Amazon and recounts hertime as a Foreign Service em-ployee in such places as Taiwanand South America. In the latter,she met and married a fellow whowas a foreign correspondent forThe Associated Press and the U. S.News & World Report. All in all,she has lived an extremely inter-esting life and has done a good jobtelling about it. I seem to have noparticular desire to go to Taiwan orSouth America, but it is enjoyableto visit there through Verna’s eyesand pen.

Local friend, Joyce (Dolezal)Wheeler has also written a couple

of books, (available at Amazonagain.) They are novels, whichmeans she had to make them upinstead of just writing aboutthings she has done. Sure, youwould probably base your charac-ters on people you have known,but you still have to deal withcharacterization, plot and such. Ittakes a lot of thinking. It is quite alot easier to read Joyce’s booksthan to make one up yourself.

So, if you wanted to write abook, how many words would youhave to come up with? A standard-size novel, it seems, should proba-bly be around 80,000 words. That’sa lot. You might get by with 50,000,but 80,000 would be better. If youwere Leo Tolstoy, you would haveto come up with over half-a-millionwords for such tomes as his, “Warand Peace.” That would takeweeks to read much less write. Asa college kid assigned to read it,you might be better off buying the“Cliff Notes,” which is a little pub-lication that allows you to know allabout a book without actuallyreading it. I like the comment byone of the characters on sonChance’s Veggie Tales video wherehe says he read War and Peace viaCliff Notes and found it “riveting.”He comments, “That’s three min-utes of my life I’ll never get back.”As we said, reading War and Peacein full might take quite a lot longerthan three minutes since it runs tosomething like 1,400 pages. CliffNotes might be the way to go inthis case.

I did start writing a mysterynovel over ten years ago and gotthrough the first two chapters be-fore bogging down. Action on thatproject has come to a standstill,but, who knows, maybe I’ll drag itback out some day and get goingagain. I have enough things to doat present without that, but onlywriting a thousand words a weekwould get a book written in a littleover a year. I currently write a lit-tle less than that, maybe 850,every week writing these things somaybe I could double my produc-tion. We’ll have to see.

Since I’ve been writing weeklyarticles from 1986 to the present,I’ve probably already used up wellover a million words. That’s doublewhat Tolstoy needed for War andPeace, but my stuff, alas, isn’t ex-actly in book form. I’m happy to re-port that I can write much morequickly and easily now than Icould back in ’86, but it is stillfairly hard work. Like I said, Ihope book-writing isn’t contagiousor I might contact that dreadeddisease. Everyone else is catchingit, but maybe it will pass me by.Time will tell.

The Writing Game

Lookin’ Aroundby Syd Iwan

Francie Davis recently returnedfrom Phoenix, Arizona, where shewent to participate in an obstaclerace known as a “Spartan” run.This involved navigating variousobstacles and trying to do itquickly. The last 300 yards in-volved crawling under barbed wire.Francie said it was both awful andwonderful. It was interestingenough that she is already plan-ning to do another one in Nebraskathis fall. She went with her friend,Nancy, who had lived in the area awhile and knew people and places.As a result, they attended a toast-masters meeting, a book club meet-ing and wandered down somehiking trails. They also spent timein Sedona. The Spartan run raisesmoney for wounded or disabledvets. Training at home is now inthe works for other races such asthe 5K run at Philip on St.Patrick’s Day.

Bonenbergers are mostly stay-ing close to home to keep an eye oncalving which is now in full swing. Bill and Norma Headlee are alsointo calving since their heifers havestarted.

Jodi and herhusband, Shawn, are expecting anaddition to their family towardsthe end of March. Jodi had quite afew members of her family theretoo including some from NorthDakota. Kenny and the other guysattended a bull sale instead sincethat happened to be going on intown at the same time. Chuck Willard is recoveringnicely from his recent hip-replace-ment surgery. He hasn’t gone backto his EMT work over at Rosebudyet but may do so, at least parttime, in another month or so. Toomuch activity is still tiring. Bud and Valene Perault hadsupper on Sunday evening over atMike and Marlene Perault’s. Lastweekend, daughter Laney and herkids were at Mike and Marlene’sovernight on Sunday. On Sunday,Laney’s five-year-old son, Billy, wasin a wrestling meet in Kadoka. OnMonday, he was in another atPhilip. Laney’s husband, Joe Waln,was along on Sunday but had to gohome on Monday to do chores. Mar-lene said not many of her kids werein sports while they were in schoolexcept for Lesa who tended to be inall of them.

May the Lord JesusChrist wrap his everlasting armsaround each and everyone of herdear family. It is certainly truethat Norris will not be the same. Christine was affectionately“Grandma” to all of us and we lovedher for it. What a grandma shewas, you didn’t have to know herlong before she would tell you shehad 163 grandchildren at lastcount and so proud of each one, too.Christine was a very strong sup-porter of education, a Head Startteacher and later in the Adopt aGrandparent program at NorrisSchool. She was a Black Pipe tribalcouncil member of the RosebudSioux Tribe for many years. Life wasn’t easy for Christine,but it never made her bitter. Christine could use her greatsense of humor and sharp wit to getany point across. Her boldness tospeak out for the right is to be ad-mired by all of us. Christine spokewords of wisdom at every opportu-nity and lived by them, too. Her family always came firstand if you needed a Grandma shewould adopt you, too. Christinedearly loved the Lord and hermeaning of love was evident byeverything she did. Her best exam-ple was by never missing a day ofvisiting her dear husband, Bill, atthe nursing home in White River. Christine Dunham will go downin history as the “Best Fan” theWhite River Tigers basketballteams ever had! We could learn alot from her example and she nevermissed a game. She even hadWhite River Tiger seat covers inher car! She got the attention of thepress at the State B tournament inAberdeen last year with her bigpurple and gold hat and sweatshirtcovered with photo buttons of hergrandchildren who were players.Who could forget her little jingle, “Iwas only foolin” at the welcomehome for the 2010 BasketballChampions at White River? Shewas so proud of all of them andrightfully so. I believe with all myheart, that as this years team pre-pares for the tournaments againthat you don’t need to worry.Grandma will be watching everypractice, every play and every shotyou make; because you will have an“Angel in the Audience.” May Godbless the memory of Christine Dun-ham.

As lotsof wrestlers, parents and grandpar-ents in this area know, most week-ends are spent participating in theAAU competition.

If Congress doesn’t act in thenext week, America will be facedwith debilitating cuts to nearlyevery non-defense discretionaryprogram at the federal level. Butthese cuts are not sequestered tothe federal level alone – they willcut into everything we do in ourcounty, city and school district. At a Valentine’s Day Senate Ap-propriations hearing on the “im-pacts of the sequestration,”Congress considered just whatkind of “love note” they would liketo extend to the American people. Secretary of Education ArneDuncan testified at that meetingand here’s what he said about thefederal Impact Aid Program – aprogram that helps educate morethan 350 students in Kadoka AreaSchool District: “The across-the-board nature ofthe cuts would focus an ill-advisedreduction on our grant programsand the funds we need to adminis-ter them,” referring to federallyconnected schools. His testimonyreferred to two of several schoolsthat could face over $1 million cutsto Impact Aid because of sequestra-tion.  Later in the hearing, Duncansaid “we would have to cut thismoney [Impact Aid] right away. Wedisproportionately fund thoseareas because there’s a lack ofproperty taxes.” Because Impact Aid, a federalprogram that provides an “in-lieuof tax” payment to school districtsimpacted by a federal presence, isthe ONLY federal education pro-gram that is current-year-funded(meaning the funds authorized byCongress in one year are for thesame school year), federally im-pacted schools will feel the cuts theday sequestration takes effect -March 1, 2013 - should the U.S.Congress fail to find an alternativedeficit-reduction solution. Andwe’re not talking peanuts here.Should Congress allow sequestra-tion to trigger, federally impactedschools would see an immediate cutof up to 5.3-percent across-the-board. That equates to about $70million less for federally impactedschools nationwide! KADOKA AREA SCHOOL DIS-TRICT is 50% percent federally im-pacted and received $401,509.00 inImpact Aid last year. A 5.3-percentcut would mean we would have$21,280.00 less with which to oper-ate our district. And it’s not justmoney we worry about. It’s jobs. Ifsequestration occurs, our schooldistrict could see a reduction inservices and programs that it iscurrently able to provide. Impact Aid helps fund schooldistricts nationwide affected by In-dian Reservations, federal build-ings, low-rent housing facilities,

National Parks and other federalentities. More than 1,300 schooldistricts receive Impact Aid and itaffects more than 11 million schoolchildren each year. Because theyare in-lieu of local tax revenue, Im-pact Aid funds are “unrestricted,”meaning they can be used in aschool district in virtually unlim-ited ways – helping to pay foradded technology, special educationservices, teacher salaries, new con-struction – all of which help stu-dents learn better and moreefficiently in their school setting. Sequestration should be avoidedaltogether for a balanced approachto deficit reduction. Why? 1) Impact Aid is not a moneydrain – it’s an investment in our fu-ture. We should never forget thatby cutting education spending, weare putting the future of our chil-dren and our country at risk. Ac-cording to the CIA’s WorldFactbook, the United States spendsonly 5.3-percent of its gross domes-tic product on education – ranking54th out of 182 countries surveyed.Cutting Impact Aid and educationeven further will not secure ourchildren’s futures, but guaranteethat our country will continue toedge even further down the educa-tion ladder. That’s not right. 2) Impact Aid is a federal part-nership with localities, and cuttingor eliminating portions of it wouldcreate an undue burden on localtaxpayers. Congress recognizedthis fact way back in 1950 whenthey created Impact Aid. They said,“ …without continued federal help,more than 1.8 million children inthese federally impacted areaswould not receive normal schoolservice… The U.S. has become anindustrialist, landlord or a busi-nessman in many communities.”However, since the land is tax ex-empt, the federal government hasnot accepted “the responsibility ofthe normal citizen in a community”to meet its financial obligation tosupport public schools. By cuttingImpact Aid, Congress is shirkingits responsibility and shiftingschool funding responsibilities ontolocal taxpayers to the tune of $70million. That’s not fair. KADOKA AREA SCHOOL DIS-TRICT urges you to speak out andadvocate on behalf of all federallyimpacted schools in this country. Additionally, our district reliesheavily on other federal programssuch as Title I, Title II, and IDEAfor special education. These pro-grams directly impact students andprograms for reading and math in-struction. If Congress doesn’t act – onMarch 1, 2013, what is not right,not fair and inconceivable will be-come inevitable.

Singled out for the wrong reason

Imagine traveling from Martin,South Dakota, to Kansas City, Mis-souri. Now imagine that trip byfoot, with a 40-pound backpack.Now imagine that you don’t speakthe language and are dependent onthe hospitality of strangers. Anthony Kathol, of Martin,made such a journey, in his 565mile pilgrimage across Spain. TheEl Camino de Santiago, the way ofSt. James, is a religious pilgrimagewhich dates back to the time of theMiddle Ages. His journey started at St. Jeande Pied-Port, France, at the foot ofthe Pyrannes Mountains, and con-tinued to Santiago de Compostela,Spain, ending at the Cathedral ofSantiago. The inspiration for making thepilgrimage came from watching amovie, “The Way,” which is thestory of another man’s walk of thepilgrimage. “I had recently retired from myjob and this movie inspired me toget away from the distractions ofthe world in order for me to seekout a new sense of purpose and di-rection in my life,” he explained. “Itwas a spiritual pilgrimage that Iwill never forget.” Along the way Kathol stayed atmany private, municipal andparochial hostels. Some of thechallenges faced along the way in-cluded “Not being sure if I wasgoing to make it within the allottedtime due to physical limitations. Ihad one major blister on my rightheel which impaired me for two tothree days and I had to walk in mysandals to not aggravate it. Manymore pilgrims had worse blisters.Blisters are part of the walk andyou accept them with grace. Some-one said that the number of blistersyou have on your feet is equivalentto the number of sins you have.Well, I had one major blister andone minor blister on my right foot,none on my left foot the entiretrip.” Other physical obstacles in-cluded having knees swell likegrapefruits about a week out fromSantiago as a result of all theweight in my backpack carryingover the mountains and the steepdecline and pounding that my legs

took when going downhill. I believeit was God’s way of getting me toslow down to hear his message. Having a map helped, butKathol reported that it was impor-tant to pay attention to where youare going! “When hiking in the bigcities, one had to really pay closeattention where the yellow arrow‘way marks’ were posted, as themarks were in competition with allthe street and advertising signsalong the way. For example, a yel-low arrow would be painted on theback of a stop sign or a light pole.If you weren’t paying attention,you’d get lost quickly. This hap-pened on occasion, but many localsinformed me right away that I wasnot going the right way and got meback on the path. That was com-forting as the locals are used to thepilgrims walking in their commu-nities and welcome them.” Forty-two days after taking thefirst step, Kathol arrived at his des-tination. Since his shoes were notcompletely worn out yet, he contin-ued three more days to walk to Fin-isterre, Spain, to reach the shore ofthe Atlantic Ocean. This is theplace where people thought thatships fell off the edge of the earth,when it was believed the world wasflat. At the completion of the walk atboth Santiago and Finisterre,Kathol received a compostela,which is a certification of the com-pletion of the pilgrimage. His nameis also included in the church reg-istry for his accomplishment. Prior to starting his journey,Kathol visited the Basilica of OurLady of the Immaculate Concep-tion where the Blessed Mother ap-peared to St. Bernadette inLourdes, France. Kathol finishedhis experience by giving thanks tothe Blessed Mother in Fatima, Por-tugal. The public is invited to follow inAnthony’s footsteps as he presentsthe story and photos of his journeyon Thursday, March 7, at 7 p.m. atOur Lady of the Sacred HeartCatholic Church basement in Mar-tin. A potluck meal will be servedprior to the presentation.

Evaluating YourWinter Wheat Stand

There has been considerable in-terest in the condition of the win-ter wheat crop in South Dakotaduring this winter of 2012-13.Much of the crop was planted intodry soil, and a substantial percent-age didn’t germinate before coldweather arrived, with even lessemerging. Winter wheat plantsthat sprout and do not establish acrown and two to three tillers willnot be as winter hardy as plantsthat did. However, it is not wellknown how much less winterhardy they are.

With adequate moisture, wheatseeds germinate (and winterwheat plants break dormancy) attemperatures of 39 degrees F orhigher. With soil temperatures atthe 2” and 4” depth hovering at ornear 32 degrees F at most of theSouth Dakota Automatic WeatherData Network (AWDN) stations, itmay be a few weeks before produc-ers will be able to accurately as-sess winter wheat survival.Historically, soil temperatures atmost AWDN stations don’t reachtemperatures in the upper 30’suntil mid to late March.

If interested, producers can runthe “bag test”, explained on page40 of Chapter 4, “Winter WheatPlanting Guide” of “iGrow Wheat:Best Management Practices forWheat Production:http://igrow.org/up/resources/05-1001-04-2012.pdf to provide anearly indication of winter survival.As the chapter states, “If informa-tion is not required immediately,the best way to assess winterkill isto wait until plant growth com-mences. It is quite difficult to get a“field wide” picture of winterwheat survival by running the“bag test” as you are only evaluat-ing a small sample.

Once you are able to accuratelyassess winter survival, or whatkind of stand you have remainingin the spring, you will need to de-cide whether to leave the stand or

destroy it and plant another crop.There are three components ofyield; number of heads per unitarea, kernels per head, and kernelweight. The dominant componentin less than optimum stands isnumber of heads per unit area.The plant population needed to op-timize yields for most conditions inSouth Dakota is considered to beabout 14-15 plants/sq ft. Lowerpopulations can be managed toproduce profitable yields if thestand is relatively uniform acrossthe field. Stands as low as 5plants/sq ft can produce nearly70% of maximum yield, and someareas of the field may have higherdensities, increasing the potential.Before destroying a winter wheatfield, contact your crop insuranceagent. A field must be released be-fore pursuing other cropping op-tions or crop insurance coveragewould be voided.

Producers should not inter-seedspring wheat into winter wheat asthis would result in mixed wheatat harvest and result in marketingproblems and almost certain pricereduction.

If producers determine thatthey have an adequate winterwheat stand to keep, but less thanideal, they should apply nitrogenearly to enhance tillering. Nitro-gen should be applied as soon asthe plants break dormancy, or assoon as the soil is not frozen. It isalso important to pay close atten-tion to weed management asweeds will be more competitive ina thin stand.
