Everyone is invited to attend. ~~~~~ The annual meeting of Jack- son-Kadoka Economic Develop- ment Corporation will be held on Wednesday, February 6, 7:00 p.m. at the Gateway Apartments Community Room. The organization invites every- one to attend the meeting. During the 71st South Dakota Rural Electric Association annual meeting Jan. 10 and 11, numerous South Dakotans were recognized for their dedication to the electric cooperative program in the state. SDREAs 28 electric cooperative distribution systems and three gen- eration and transmission electric cooperatives serve nearly 300,000 people across 90 percent of South Dakotas land mass. These systems are member-owned utilities estab- lished to provide at-cost electric service to more than 114,000 farms, homes, schools, churches, businesses and other establish- ments across the state. SDREA is the service associa- tion of the states electric coopera- tives and is devoted to unifying, promoting and protecting the inter- ests of member electric coopera- tives in South Dakota by providing leadership, training, communica- tion, legislative representation and other member services. Each of the 31 SDREA member cooperatives selects a director from their local board, which is elected by the coop- eratives membership, to represent the cooperative on the SDREA board of directors. Fifty-eight cooperative directors and employees were recognized for 25 or more years of service to the states electric cooperatives. Those recognized, along with their years of service and the cooperative they are affiliated with, include: 30 Years of Service: Marvin Moor, West Central Electric Coop- erative, Murdo; 35 Years of Service: Steve Reed, West Central Electric; 50 Years of Service, Ray Osburn, Cherry Todd Electric. South Dakota Co-ops honored at meeting by Del Bartels Philip, a one-third partner of the continuing Stronger Economies To- gether project, hosted the Wednes- day, January 9, multi-community session. The first meeting, in December, was held in Kadoka. The third meeting, in February, will be held in Wall. Attendees are still con- tributing toward a growing kitty of possible names for this specific SET region. Made up of Haakon County, Jackson County and the eastern portion of Pennington County, the economic partnership could vote to be called the Bad- lands/ Bad River Region, Western Plains Region, Central Plains Con- nection, Old West Region or some other name that was in the sugges- tion jar. This two-year federal program is currently in its third round. The two-year programs first year is the creation of an economic plan for a given region. The second year is for the fun work of putting that plan into action. After a supper social provided by the Philip Chamber of Commerce, the attendees of this session fo- cused on three main topics. The first point discussed was the cur- rent demographics of this region, not only what they look like today but what they are projected to look like in the future. It was stressed by speaker Dr. David Olson, com- munity development program di- rector, and video-taped Dr. Michael McCurry, state demographer, that projections, even from the Census Bureau and other fact-based sources, can change. Haakon County has been losing population for years. Currently, over 20 per- cent of its population is over 65 years of age. Communicable dis- eases, such as whooping cough and others, have been diminishing, while degenerative diseases, such as cancer and those associated with old age, have been increasing. In Haakon County, the average in- come has increased, yet the num- ber of people considered under the poverty line has also increased. Things can change. The second main topic was an at- tempt to determine what makes a strong region, particularly this re- gion. Differences between the Philip, Kadoka and Wall communi- ties are numerous. The similarities can be used to strengthen their partnership. The third main topic was an ex- amination of existing economic de- velopment plans in the region. One of these was a new idea promoted by residents from the Kadoka area. Several plans were revisited plans from Horizons meetings held in the individual communities from previ- ous years. Kari ONeil, community develop- ment field specialist, stated that the kickoff session produced some great thoughts on how this region can gain a competitive advantage by working together, pooling re- sources and building relationships. As the sessions move forward, at- tendees are to invite those diverse and committed people they know who would be assets to this group. The only real requirement is an openness to this process and a pas- sion for this region. The Philip session discussed the Creation, Attraction, Retention, Expansion model. Communities can grow from the creation of new businesses, from the attraction of new industry or businesses, from the retention and strengthening of existing businesses, and from the expansion of existing firms in the region.

BankWest has also utilized a USDA Rural De- velopment Community Facilities Loan Guarantee to develop essen- tial community facilities in the area. President Obama is committed to strengthening rural communi- ties, said Elsie Meeks, South Dakota USDA Rural Development State Director. By working with private lenders throughout the state, USDA Rural Development is able to increase investment capital and assist communities and local organizations build a strong busi- ness infrastructure to nurture eco- nomic growth. USDA Rural Development pro- vided a $296,200 Business and In- dustry Loan Guarantee for Bank West, Inc. that, through leveraging, assisted a local business. This proj- ect is expected to retain 16 jobs in the local community. Working with programs like the B&I Guaranteed Loan Program to help improve local economies and create opportunities for local citi- zens is a natural partnership for BankWest, said BankWest Vice President/Sr. Ag Officer Gary Ambur. Helping area customers and communities achieve financial success is the most important and rewarding aspect of community banking. In Fiscal Year 2012, USDA Rural Development Business & In- dustry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan pro- gram made available $33.2 million that, through leveraging $128 mil- lion, assisted nine businesses. The purpose of the B&I Guaran- teed Loan Program is to improve, develop, or finance business, indus- try, and employment and improve the economic and environmental climate in rural communities. This purpose is achieved by bolstering the existing private credit struc- ture through the guarantee of qual- ity loans which will provide lasting community benefits.

President Obamas plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the Presidents leadership, these investments in housing, commu- nity facilities, businesses and infra- structure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way strengthening Americas economy, small towns and rural communities. USDAs investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are commit- ted to a smarter use of Federal re- sources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural commu- nities. USDA, through its Rural Devel- opment mission area, has an active portfolio of more than $176 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, res- idents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. BankWest, Inc. receives honor from Department of Agriculture South Dakota Rural Water Associ- ation and Jake Fitzgerald of West River/Lyman-Jones to discuss water options. There was no action take on having a meeting. However, a motion carried to ap- prove the contract contingent on receipt of written compliance guidelines. Other than plowing snow, Patrick Solon said he is working on compiling information for potential street projects for the year 2013. He will present more information at the next meeting. Dick Stolley said hed received a phone call regarding the city plow- ing alleys. The city alley ordinance reads that unless its a commercial alley, it is up to the residents to take care of alley work. Commercial alleys include those next to Main Street and along the Kadoka Nursing Home. Any other snow plowing would be done to allow access to fuel or propane delivery. Stolley also noted that the year- end inventory was done at the city bar on January 3. The council reviewed a 2013 commercial service contract from TruGreen for lawn and tree care for the softball fields and city park. The contract amount was for $3,831.25. A motion carried approve the contract and lock the prices in for a three-year period, if payments can be made yearly. The next regular meeting will be held on Monday, February 11 at 7:00 p.m. Brad Jorgensen called the regu- lar meeting of the Kadoka City Council to order on Monday, Janu- ary 14. Absent was Mayor Harry Weller and Kieth Prang. The bills and finance statement were approved. It was noted that all departments, including the water department, were in the black at the end of the year. A motion carried to combine the city election on April 9, 2013 with the school election. Bob Fugate addressed the coun- cil regarding the sound system at the auditorium. For a $700 fee, Mid States Audio & Video will readjust the current sound system and look for dead spots. Fugate said KCBA, Horizons and the Kadoka Music Parents have agreed to help by paying $100 each. He asked that the city pay $200 and with the school paying an additional $200, there would be enough money to get Mid States here to look at the system. He said the school had asked that board member Dale Chris- tensen be there when Mid States looks at the system. In addition, Fugate asked that Colby Shuck at- tend as well. A motion carried to give $200 to- ward checking the sound system. Under the water/sewer report Nathan Riggins said they had moved a water line west of Dis- count Fuel. Riggins also presented a con- tract from Maguire Iron, Inc. for water tower work which would in- clude sandblasting and applying two coats of epoxy to the interior of the downtown tower. The lump sum of work would total $24,890. Riggins said Maguire Iron asked that the city sign the contract so Maguire Iron can put the city work on their schedule. Jackie Stilwell noted that she could set up a meeting with the Kadoka City Council discusses water tower, sound system issues ply, according to stock contractors. Its been the case for a while, and overall, there are more good bucking horses now than there were in the 70s and 80s, due to breeding, but we definitely need more, said Ike Sankey, a Joliet, Mont., cowboy and the PRCAs Stock Contractor of the Year in 1999. Suttons concept is simple. He rallied five competing stock con- tractors, including Sankey, to agree to share bloodlines of their cham- pion bucking horses. Each brought 10 mares and one high-caliber stud to Suttons ranch. All of the studs had been selected for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo at some point. From May 1 to July 1, Sutton babysat as the horses went to pas- ture. Suttons property is large enough that each band of mares ranging from seven to 13 in num- ber had a separate pasture bor- dered by two fences, so the stallions couldnt fight. Stock contractors paired at least one of their mares some bred before, others maiden with each stud. The cross-breeding arrangement was all horse trade no fees changed hands, with the ex- ception of a feed payment to Sutton of $3 per day, per horse. Some 15 stock contractors showed interest, Sutton said. But some snubbed the program from the get-go; others folded at the last minute. Kirsten Vold, who runs Harry Vold Rodeo Co., which her father started in 1954, thought about join- ing but decided not to not because she thinks its a bad idea but be- cause the setup wasnt right for her. Sutton asked Vold to pony up Painted Valley, the PRCAs 2010 Saddle Bronc of the Year and the top saddle bronc at the 2009 NFR. Vold declined. Im glad more rodeo companies are working together to try to im- prove the genetics of our sport, and I appreciate the opportunity, she said. But I currently get $2,500 per mare for a breeding with (Painted Valleys) semen, and I want to keep the value of the prod- uct. My lack of involvement is not due to me not supporting the proj- ect but of protecting my commod- ity. While stock contractors some- times arrange individual stud trades with a fellow contractor to diversify bloodlines, they are gen- erally protective of their stock. That, Vold said, has been a mis- take. What everyones figuring out is we all succeed if we all share and cross bloodlines, she said. What Steve is doing is groundbreaking, the start of something new. Its an easy way to breed a lot of different studs at one time. Breeding the same stud year after year results in good mixes with some mares but not others, Vold said, which can reduce the chances of ending up with a stellar bucking horse. Sankey agrees its a challenge for breeders to introduce new ge- netics to their stock and said he was excited to give Suttons pro- gram a try, bringing two world- champion mares and others who have been good producers. The ideal situation would be to end up with 10 colts that were all world champions. Thats not a real- istic goal, but who knows? he said. A proven bucking horse thats good enough to be selected for the NFR can fetch around $40,000, Sutton said, adding that the rare top buck- ing broncs have sold for $100,000 to $200,000. Sutton did not test the mares in this years program to see if theyre pregnant. Foaling should occur in mid-April. The offspring wont be bucked until theyre about five years old, which is when theyll demonstrate their prowess. No one seems worried about cre- ating bucking horses that are just too rank for cowboys to ride. One thing time has proven: the better the horses are, the better the contestants are, Sankey said. I think raising bucking horses is going to spread out to more than just a select group of stock contrac- tors. I think youll find investors starting to get into breeding be- cause a horse can perform at his peak from five years old until 14 or 15. A bull has maybe two to three years, and hes peaked. Sutton wants to make the cross- breeding program an annual event and has dreams of expanding to a larger-scale operation. He also has visions of being able to announce success in five years. I hope well celebrate at the NFR the great thing that was started here, he said. --by Debbie Kelley ProRodeo Sports News Steve Sutton is a gambling man. But hes playing no ordinary game of chance. Suttons using mares as chips and superstar studs as his ace in the hole. There isnt much to lose, the South Dakota stock contractor fig- ures. A little time, effort and money could be up in smoke if his experi- ment fails. On the other hand, a windfall could be in the cards. Patience is in order first. He and five other stock contractors wont know if their wager will pay off for about five years. Nope, there are no guarantees, Sutton said. Its a risk, and Ive had people tell me I was crazy. But the bucking horse world needs a boost, and Im hoping this deal can help. Earlier this year, Sutton, who co-owns Onida, S.D.-based Sutton Rodeos Inc., with his father, Jim, launched the Breeding to Buck Program of 2012. I watched the bull world change from 20 years ago by trading semen. I couldnt talk anybody in the horse world into doing that, Sutton said. Now, were in the same situation with bucking horses theres a shortage of good ones. The population of bucking horses has been in a crisis mode be- fore. After World War II ended and rodeo resurged in popularity, stock contractors scrambled to meet de- mand, as more wide-open spaces became fenced, and fewer wild horses roamed the land. Stock contractors like Suttons grandfather James, a ProRodeo Hall of Famer, figured out how to breed horses to buck, and the process became an industry stan- dard. Today, demand for rank bucking horses is once again outpacing sup- Chance worth taking: Sutton, contractors come together in crossbreeding effort See the answers on the classified page Suduko Kadoka Press USPS 289340 Telephone 605-837-2259 PO Box 309, Kadoka, South Dakota 57543-0309 E-mail: press@kadokatelco.com Fax: 605-837-2312 Ravellette Publications, Inc.

Thats what separated mankind from the Lord in the garden, and it has been fracturing relationships ever since. Its also the reason that God considers reconciliation so important. He wants to re- establish an intimate relationship with fallen humanity. But His desires for His children dont end with their salvation experience. He also wants His church to be a shining example of unity for all to see. The last time Christ prayed for His followers before going to the cross, He asked that they may all be one as the Father and Son are one (v. 21). Despite the fact that we cannot attain perfect unity with God until we reach heaven, we do have the capacity to walk in harmony with Him by living in obedience to His Holy Spirit within us. The other aspect of oneness that God desires for us is unity with one another within His church. We will always have differences in what we prefer and how we interpret certain Bible passages, but our com- mon identity as Christians is based on the essential truths of the faith as revealed in Gods Word. The unity Christ advocates is possible only when each member of His body walks in submission to the Spirit so that together they can achieve the purposes of God and reflect Christs character in their behavior. Ask the Lord to produce a desire for unity within your heart. When youre tempted to demand your own way, remember whats at stake. Accord in a local church allows God to do His work effectively through that congregation, but its also an attractive witness that draws the lost world to Christ.

Marvin McDaniel________________ Marvin McDaniel, age 54, of Casper, Wyo., formerly of Philip, S.D., died Saturday, January 19, 2013, at the Wyoming Medical Center in Casper. Marvin Fred McDaniel was born August 2, 1958, in Philip, the son of Fred Q. and Beverly I. (Mc- Clure) McDaniel. He grew up in Philip, graduating from Philip High School in 1976. While in high school, Marvin worked for Jack Hansen at his fur plant. After graduation, Marvin worked for Dorothy Brothers, where he worked on vehicles. Mar- vin then attended Mitchell Vo- Tech, where he earned his electricians license. He moved to Wyoming where he served as an apprentice, journeyman, and later as a master electrician for various mining companies. Marvin has made his home in Casper for a number of years, but always looked forward to coffee at Rich Smiths, when he made it home to the ranch near Philip. Marvin was a hard worker, and able to fix anything that needed re- pairs. Marvin also became quite a gardener, and enjoyed canning his produce he raised. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Survivors include his mother, Beverly McDaniel of Quinn; three sisters, Kerry Wahlquist and her husband, Peter, of Las Vegas, Nev., Kathy McDaniel of Rapid City, and Patricia Hauk and her husband, Phillip, of Piedmont; a nephew, Sean Wahlquist, and niece, Kersey Wahlquist, both of Las Vegas, and a host of other relatives and friends. Marvin was preceded in death by his father, Fred McDaniel, on April 6, 2005. Memorial services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 2, at the American Legion Hall in Philip, with Pastor Frezil Wester- lund officiating. Interment will be at the Masonic Cemetery in Philip. Arrangements are with the Rush Funeral Home of Philip. His online guestbook is available at www.rushfuneralhome.com.

I read this little saying the other day and thought, Thats about right. For some strange reason, Ive always liked having those silly critters running around the place making it homey. Theyre so dread- fully optimistic and cheerful. They can hardly wait to start each new day since there is bound to be something wonderful just about to happen, or so they think. Open the door or gate in the morning, and the birds dont just wander out. They run and fly out to spread in all four directions. Pretty soon theyre chasing grasshoppers, scratching busily in the dirt, tak- ing dust baths, and generally hav- ing a grand old time. Watching all this lifts my spirits and makes me smile. My neighbor, Chuck, apparently feels somewhat the same way. They havent had any chickens around their place for a number of years, but Chuck has been plotting to get some for quite a while. Last spring he finally got things to- gether enough to order some baby chicks so he now has eggs to sell from time to time. Since I unfortu- nately do not have any hens myself at present, this is good because farm-raised eggs do taste better than those shipped in to the gro- cery stores. They have more color- ful yolks as well and firmer shells. Better-tasting eggs, actually, and more of them, are one of the main advantages of having chick- ens around. In my experience and financially speaking, you arent apt to make much money raising chickens. Youre probably lucky to break even. The birds are satisfy- ing in other terms, some of which Ive just mentioned, but as a money-maker not so much. Early last year, Chuck asked what breeds Id found that might work out well for him. Heaven knows Ive had enough experience through raising thousands of chickens over the years and trying dozens of breeds from tiny little bantams to huge old things. I said Id found Hubbard Golden Comet hens to be the best layers of brown-shelled eggs and some form of Leghorns for white. Cornish- Rocks are the best meat chickens by far. Chuck eventually took some of my advice but also ordered some just for fun and because their color, etc. appealed to him. I know he got some roosters because Ted at our river place can hear them crowing from across the river on a quiet day. What doesnt work very well are those breeds that our touted as dual-purpose. These are supposed to be good producers of both meat and eggs. In practice, those hens dont lay nearly as well as the ones bred strictly for egg production. The roosters also tend to get tough before theyre big enough to have much meat on them. I remember many years ago when Chucks wife, Merry, was grumbling around one day that shed butchered an old rooster and tried to boil it up for soup. Her comment was, I boiled that sucker for three days, and it was still tough. That may have been a slight overstate- ment, but it is probably true that any rooster over six-months old should just be fed to the cats. Cooking it is apt to be a waste of time. Any rooster much over two- months of age, in fact, is going to be a little tough unless you fricas- see it which involves cooking it a really long time. Well, as you can probably tell, a person raises chickens because he or she enjoys it and reaps some benefits along the way although probably not financially. That ap- plies to lots of other things as well such as gardening. You can buy your veggies about as cheaply as you can raise them, but some home-raised ones taste ever so much better. Other pursuits that grab peoples interest and time might include hunting, fishing, woodworking, quilting, knitting, sewing and genealogy. These things might not make you rich, but they might make you happy. By the way, I saw another say- ing the other day that probably ap- plies to neighbor Chuck along with the one about chickens. That one goes, The most important thing in life is to be yourself, unless you can be a cowboy. Always be a cowboy. Chuck and a whole lot of other peo- ple around here would definitely subscribe to that theory. It tends to get in the blood. Put another way, we might say, Money cant buy happiness, but it can buy horses and cattle, and thats pretty much the same thing. Cant Buy Happiness Lookin Around by Syd Iwan Baxter Badure is once again making the saddle that R-Calf will be presenting to someone at the stock show in Rapid City later this month. According to Baxs brother, Greg, the picture tooled into the seat of the saddle this year will be taken from a well-known Wyoming photo of a man on a black horse in a snowstorm with a calf being bal- anced against the saddle horn in front. Bax and Carol are now pretty much down to one daughter at home. Brianna, at present, is mostly living in Hot Springs and working at a nursing home, Castle Manor. She likes the work. Kianna attends sixth grade in Kadoka and seems to like that too. Mary Johnston has been staying fairly close to home during the cold weather. She does go to Kadoka most Wednesdays to help with Re- lease Time at the church and get some groceries. Church in Belvidere is usually on the agenda for Sundays. Al Badure and Beverly Mc- Daniel went to Casper, WY, this week to see Beverlys son, Marvin, who was critically ill with heart problems. Marvin, unfortunately, died later in the week, and his fu- neral service will be held in Philip this week. Marvin was only 54 but had been having health problems for quite a while. Bud Stickler of Philip is cur- rently in the Rapid City hospital after his knee gave way last week. Hed had the knee replaced some years ago, but it gave out on him when he was shoveling some snow. He will probably be in the hospital or rehab for quite a while. Bud has been a long-time friend of the De- Vries family and has done carpen- try work at the Belvidere Church and around the area. Frank Carlson reports that we have a new part-time resident since mid December who lives on the old Art Johnston place by the river southeast of town. His name is Perry Compton, and he is a jockey by trade. His family owns the old Johnston place, and Perry is doing some renovations on the house there when he has time off from riding in races. He came here from Omaha, NE. Frank says his morning rounds these days include tending cattle at Mowrys east of town, at Bittings northwest and at Mike Bloms northeast. He said that James and Colter Carlson tried some coyote calling on Sun- day at Lee Addisons. Four coyote were called in but only was shot. Norma Headlee said it was a nice quite weekend for doing tax work so thats what she did. Bill and she are getting things caught up in preparation for the calving season which will start soon and will keep the vet clinic busy for a number of months. Norma said her brother, Tom DeVries, came to her rescue last week when she got a tractor stuck in a snow bank. She said Tom has been rescuing her out of this and that for going on fifty years now and hasnt given up yet. This weekend, though, she man- aged to stay out of trouble and did not need Toms help. Jo and Jory Rodgers went to Pierre on Sunday so Jory could compete in a wrestling tournament there. He came in second in his di- vision. Also at the meet were Mark, Nicci and Greyson DeVries since Greyson took part in the meet too. His two older brothers were in a meet at Winner on Friday and Sat- urday. Jo said they are still work- ing on the Belvidere Store and hope they can open it soon. On Monday, Jo was planning to drive to Spearfish for a postal meeting. Monday is a federal holiday so Jo didnt have to man a post office somewhere. In other words, Mon- day was a holiday from running a post office but not from postal du- ties altogether. Russ and Gay Spinsby are stay- ing nice and cozy these cold days thanks to a new heat pump they had installed last week. Their old furnace was giving them grief so the new system was needed. The heat pump is supposed to be more efficient that there old system so Gay is hoping for a lower utility bill. Both sons have been home to visit recently. Casey and family and a hunting friend of Caseys came from Huron the last few days of December and were successful in getting a deer. Marty and family came the next weekend from Sioux Falls with their new daughter, Aria Elizabeth, who was born on Decem- ber 14. Both sons now have two kids each, and each has one son and one daughter. Both Casey and Marty say their families are now complete so Russ and Gay may have to be content with four grand- kids unless something unexpected comes along. Greg and Dana Badure and kids were visited by Eric and Pam Os- born on Sunday. Eric brought along his saw and helped shore up a weak spot in the floor that occa- sionally made one wonder if it might give way and deposit some- one in the basement. The family lately has been putting a new Christmas gift to good use. It is a video game called Wii which in- volves standing up to play it. It is quite popular with the kids espe- cially, and Greg says it has some physical activity involved which isnt a bad thing. In South Dakota, we have an op- portunity to make our state safer and save tens of millions of tax- payer dollars. It is an opportunity we must seize. South Dakotas prison popula- tion has grown by six times in the last 35 years. Spending on correc- tions has tripled in the last 20 years alone. Our state locks up more people, per capita, than any of our bordering states. We lock up 75 percent more men than North Dakota and four times as many women as Minnesota. We are a clear outlier. Unfortunately, these high levels of imprisonment have not made our state safer. In the past decade, 17 states have lowered their im- prisonment rates while also lower- ing their crime rates at twice the rate that South Dakotas went down. If we do nothing, our prison pop- ulation will grow by 900 inmates thats 25 percent in the next 10 years, costing taxpayers $224 mil- lion. We will need to build two new prisons. This spring, I joined the Chief Justice and legislative leaders in engaging over 400 stakeholders be- fore establishing a bipartisan, inter-branch work group to look into this problem. The group in- cluded law enforcement, judges, legislators, treatment providers, defense attorneys and prosecutors. We asked this work group to see if we could improve public safety, hold offenders more accountable, and get a better return on our pub- lic safety dollars. Im pleased that the work group came back with ro- bust recommendations. Following my State of the State address, the Chief Justice and 70 legislators, including the Republi- can and Democratic leaders of the House and the Senate, joined me in submitting the South Dakota Pub- lic Safety Improvement Act. This measure, Senate Bill 70, will improve supervision on proba- tion and parole through expanded treatment and reduced caseloads, and it will use proven tools like drug courts and a new 24/7-style program for drug offenders. It will focus our prison space on violent and career criminals by punishing drug kingpins more harshly than users while ensuring swift and certain sanctions for of- fenders. Finally, the bill calls for im- proved victim notification and restitution collection, and it re- quires that all of these programs be measured and evaluated for effec- tiveness, year after year. This path will save our state tens of millions of dollars in prison costs while keeping South Dakota safer. This is the right path for- ward, and Im not alone in support- ing the measure. Im joined by the Chief Justice, Attorney General, Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, Victims Advocates, States Attorneys, County Commissioners, the State Bar, and Treatment Providers. South Dakota is showing, once again, that we can work together to find common sense, smart solu- tions to our biggest problems.ing to get back into a normal routine fol- lowing the holidays may not have taken the time to ensure that kids and parents alike are vaccinated for the flu this season.

Dan Taft is home and feeling well enough to be bored so please give him a phone call and visit a bit if you happen to be in the house. Being housebound seems like a punishment to these guys, but is the best way to heal up. Dan suf- fered a crushed shoulder from a four wheeler accident a week or so ago while moving cattle. JoAnn Letellier attended a parish council meeting after church services at the Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church on Sunday. Susan Taft was busy working at the Wanblee Post Office a few days this week. Carol Ferguson worked here at the Norris Post Office in her absence. Julie Letellier of Kilgore spent the Martin Luther King Day holi- day at the James Letellier home. A couple of our dear lifetime Norris residents, Bill and Marjorie Letellier have moved. Their family has recently helped Bill and Mar- jorie get situated in Philip. Bill is in the nursing home and Marjorie is a resident at the Silver Leaf As- sisted Living Center. If you are in the area, they would sure love to have you come for a visit; they have fond memories of Flying Farmers, baseball games, square dancing, Norris Extension Club, building the Township Hall and the activi- ties at the St. John Lutheran Church in Norris. They will surely be missed in this community that they were so much a part of for so many years. Dr. Bill Headlee, DVM of Kadoka was busy bangs vaccinat- ing heifers in the area on Thursday. Tim Merchen helped at the James Letelliers and was a dinner guest. Bill had to cover five places that day so didn't have time to stop. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. Will Rogers Pastor Denke visited in the Robert Ring home and was a din- ner guest on Tuesday. The James Letelliers were among those enjoying the basket- ball game Tuesday evening be- tween White River and Philip. It was the White River Tigers first home game of the season. The score was in the triple digits, but it should be high if you are playing the SD State Champions; if they expect to defend their title. The Tigers have such an even team that the subs are getting some real pol- ish on them, too. I could watch those guys play all day long. After I have watched for awhile, my eyes fill up with tears. I am so proud of them. I have cheered for some of those guys all their lives and they really make basketball a team sport. Norris school news: The archery program has started and soon will be an after school class. Ms Lodmel is the instructor this year. Thursday, James and Marjorie Anne Letellier enjoyed attending the Southern Plains girls basket- ball tournament in White River. White River was playing Kadoka so we had gals we knew on both sides. Our neighbor gal, Taylor Merchen, is a real fireball for Kadoka and she and White Rivers Ashlyn Plooser were pretty evenly matched so it made for a real good game. Little Grace Elise Ring was born to Daniel and Michelle Ring of Washington state on Friday, Janu- ary 18, 2013 at 7:21 a.m. Although the little lady came a few weeks early, she weighed in at 5 lbs. and 15 ozs. and was 17 inches long.

Eggert also stressed that citizen memberships are solicited by mail only - never by telephone. Their No Telemarketing policy has been in effect since the associations incep- tion and is one of the policies that differentiates the SDSA from other law enforcement organizations in South Dakota. They will never make phone call solicitations and the public should be aware if they receive a phone call and they iden- tify themselves as being the SDSA. This should be reported. Its newest campaign will be mailed in January. For further in- formation on membership in the SDSA, contact Eggert at admin@southdakotasheriffs.org or PO Box 130, Howard, SD 57349. Since its inception in 1953, the South Dakota Sheriffs Association (SDSA) has made its main objective to achieve the law enforcement goals of all South Dakota sheriffs, their deputies, state attorney and other law enforcement authorities in the state. In addition to its main focus of serving as a state-level organization to support SD sheriffs, the associa- tion also provides training, legisla- tive representation and educational conferences for all of its sheriff members and their staff. Each year, SDSA organizes two conferences with themes ranging from personnel management in law enforcement to current public safety trends - all in an effort to keep officials abreast of changing technologies, methods and resources. While it is primarily funded from sheriff membership, the SDSA also solicits citizen and business mem- bership each spring to help fund several of its programs. Citizens and businesses become members by pay- ing the membership dues by mail or by visiting their local sheriff s office and filling out a membership appli- cation. Each member receives a membership card and a subscription to the associations newsletter. To retain its membership base, renewal notices are mailed to cur- rent members along with updated credentials.

Disabled adults and low-in- come parents qualify for Medicaid. Many of our nursing home resi- dents qualify for Medicaid. The Af- fordable Care Act (ACA) allows the states to expand coverage to those adults who qualify if they are at 138% of the poverty level. (Chil- dren are already covered whether or not we expand Medicaid). The population affected by the expansion would be South Dakotas working poor who do not typically receive health insurance through their employer. If states choose to expand Medicaid, the federal gov- ernment will cover 100 percent of the costs from 2014 to 2016. The feds' contribution will begin to de- crease in 2017, but will never be less than 90 percent, under the ACA. This expansion would bring close to $200 million federal dollars to SD to care for those in need, make our citizens healthier, and keep them out of more expensive emergency care. Arizona recently announced that they will provide the Medicaid Expansion to their citizens. 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 Were now well into committee work in both Senate Health and Senate Judiciary as we end the sec- ond week of the session. As Ive known over the 12 years Ive served in the Legislature, the 38 days of the Legislature go by quickly. As I mentioned in my last article, Ive spent many days prior to the start of this session serving on the Gov- ernors Criminal Justice Task Ini- tiative 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. Last week, I testified in front of the Joint Appro- priations Committee and let my voice show support for this attempt to help reduce the numbers of in- mates in our prisons and provide treatment for those who suffer from addictions. On Friday, Jan. 18 I again testified in front of the Sen- ate State Affairs Committee where it passed unanimously. Earlier this week I attended briefings on the proposed Medicaid expansion which I support. Medi- caid is one of the largest healthcare insurers in South Dakota. Most of the people covered in our state under Medicaid are children. In fact, 69% of the current Medicaid From Senator Jim Bradford With colder temperatures often come runny noses, sore throats and unfortunately, the flu. Families across South Dakota who are try- ing to get back into a normal rou- tine following the holidays may not have taken the time to ensure that kids and parents alike are vacci- nated for the flu this season. This week, South Dakota was moved into the widespread flu classification by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), leading hospitals and busi- nesses to take extra precautions. In total, eleven South Dakotans have died from the flu and the state has reported almost 600 cases of flu so far this season. Its time to take the flu seriously. I encourage all South Dakotans to not only get vaccinated, but to stay home from work or school if you have symptoms, such as a cough or fever. The typical incubation period for the flu is an average of two days and adults can be infectious for a week, starting with the day before symptoms began. Children can be contagious even longer. Flu vaccines protect individuals from the three flu strains predicted to be most popular that season. While the vaccine is still the best way to prevent the flu, antiviral drugs can also be a strong line of defense, as well as common sense health habits, such as covering a cough and consistent hand-wash- ing. South Dakota has the highest vaccination rate in the country with over half of our population re- ceiving the vaccine during the 2011-2012 flu season! In fact, South Dakota received the Adult Immunization Coverage Award from the CDC in 2012. I encourage South Dakotans to look at information provided by the South Dakota Department of Health or contact a local health care provider if you have any addi- tional questions or concerns re- garding the flu vaccine. Rep. Kristi Noem is South Dakotas lone U.S. Representative, elected in November 2010. She serves on the Agriculture and Armed Services Committees. Fighting the Flu By Rep. Kristi Noem Since President Obama took of- fice in 2009, an additional 15 mil- lion Americans have been added to the food stamp rolls. This trend has continued despite economic indica- tors coming from his administra- tion that suggest the number of Americans out of work and en- rolling in government safety net programs should be on the decline. The most recent food stamp par- ticipation numbers paint a very troubling picture of the U.S. econ- omy. According to the latest statis- tics released on January 4, 2013, by the Department of Agriculture, the number of Americans enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition As- sistance Program, commonly re- ferred to as food stamps, has spiked to nearly 48 million people, or nearly 15 percent of the U.S. popu- lation. Food stamp enrollment has increased by more than 607,000 just since the last report was pub- lished in December of 2012. The enrollment of such a large number of Americans in the food stamp program has come at an ex- tremely high cost to taxpayers. Last year alone the U.S. govern- ment spent a record $80.4 billion on food stamps, and is projected to spend an estimated $770 billion over the next 10 years. With nearly one out of every seven people using food stamps, lawmakers should be carefully re- viewing the rapid increase in en- rollment and finding answers to important questions, such as: are these benefits being provided to those who need it most; should the list of eligible food stamp products be modified; and does this program encourage independence or does it instead create an ongoing depend- ency on government programs? In December of 2012, I sent a letter along with Senator Jeff Ses- sions (R-Ala.) to Wendy Spencer, Chief Executive Officer for the Cor- poration for National and Commu- nity Service (CNCS), a government entity responsible for matching government paid volunteers with local community service organiza- tions. Our letter outlined our con- cerns that current CNCS policies and promotional materials may be encouraging the exploitation of food stamps by paid CNCS volun- teers, resulting in unnecessary food stamp participation. While this is just one example of the fraud and abuse that plagues this system, if a federal agency such as CNCS is able to exploit the benefits of an- other federal program, it is difficult to predict just how far and wide- spread fraud and abuse may reach. It is time for Congress to engage in a meaningful discussion about how to best reduce poverty and ex- pand upward mobility for all Amer- icans, and take decisive action to achieve this goal. Congress must strike a balance to ensure that we protect our countrys most vulnera- ble and those who legitimately need assistance while also cutting federal spending, reprioritizing fed- eral programs, and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. As Con- gress prepares to address our na- tions overall federal spending, I will continue to advocate for com- mon-sense reforms to our nations safety net programs that will im- prove Americas social, fiscal, and economic health. Time to Reform the Broken Food Stamp Program By Sen. John Thune The Miss America Pageant is over, but the memories for Miss South Dakotas extended family will live on. All of Calista Kirbys immediate family were in Las Vegas for the pageant and all are safely home. Calistas parents and brother, September and Cory Kirby and Nathan of Brookings; her grandparents, Joe and Kathleen Leutenegger of Kadoka; and aunts and uncles and their families Shawna and Rich Bendt and chil- dren, Kadoka; Shanesa and Wade Rhodes and children of Black Hawk, and Starette and Brian Nash and family of Mitchell, were all able to attend the ceremonies. The Leuteneggers and Bendts ar- rived in Las Vegas on Monday, Jan- uary 7 and the rest of the family came later in the week. The family said they sat with about 100 South Dakotans at the Saturday night coronation. Calista and all the con- testants were awarded $3,000 scholarships for participation in the pageant. Calista will still have a busy schedule as Miss South Dakota until the next pageant is held in Hot Springs later this year. Alma Weller, 94, of Eureka passed away on January 11 and her funeral was held Saturday, Jan. 19, at the Zion Lutheran Church in Eureka. Mrs. Weller was the mother of Harry Weller and the community extends its sympathy to Harry, Nancy and their daugh- ters and families. Word was received early Thurs- day morning of the death of Ruby Kosters of Pierre, the mother of Debra Moor of Kadoka. Deb went to Pierre on Thursday to help with funeral arrangements and on Mon- day visitation was held in Pierre with funeral and burial on Tues- day. Deb and Marv were present for both days, and their sons, Matthew, Marc and Mitch, were all expected to be at their grand- mothers services. Kenny and Cindy Wilmarth went to Pierre on Monday, Jan. 14, where they attended meetings at the Governors Tourism Confer- ence. Kenny also got to attend a wrestling match in which the Amiotte grandsons participated. Cindy returned home on Thursday and Kenny stayed to spend the weekend goose hunting. He re- turned home Monday. Viola and Russ Olney, Rusty Olney, Laurel Hildebrand, Bill and Marsha Sumpter and Sydne Lenox were among Kadokans who at- tended the funeral of Cliff Ramsey in Philip on Wednesday, January 16. Among some of the out-of-town former Kadoka residents were Diane (Olney) and Gordon Paulson, Will Parke and Darral and Marilyn (Hansen) Brooks of the Rapid City area. Hiram Neiffer of Hill City was a Kadoka visitor on Friday. He vis- ited with several friends at Jiggers and then went down to the Gate- way Apartments to see Oliver and Charles Willert. Karen Denny has been making many trips to Rapid City to visit her husband, Larry, who is a pa- tient in the hospital there. Larry underwent major surgery recently and will be going through extensive rehabilitation later. Tara Jo Deuter and friend, Nate, Terry and Kim Deuter and Wanda Swan enjoyed breakfast on Satur- day at Jiggers. TJ has spent a week or so with her parents and is in the process of moving to Pierre where she will be employed at the womens prison there. She has been working at Fresh Start in Edge- mont since her graduation from Black Hills State University last year. Jeanne Seppala of Gillette, WY, passed away on January 16 of nat- ural causes. She and her husband, Jim, lived in Kadoka in the mid- fifties as Jim was a teacher and coach at KHS. Her funeral was held on Monday. Jim preceded her in death. Mike and Marylin Paulson spent the three-day weekend in Kadoka from their jobs in North Dakota. He was the grade school music teacher in Kadoka and took a job in North Dakota at the beginning of this school year. Marylin worked in the local library and stopped there for a short visit Saturday after- noon. Clayton Struble, 82, of Denver died on Friday, January 18 after a long fight with cancer.

Meatless Meals With this years drought, econo- mists are predicting a rise in next years meat prices. This has many individuals thinking about more meatless meal options. Generally, when you say meatless meals everyone thinks of grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwiches. There are many other types of healthy, inexpensive meatless meals that are easy to prepare. Many of us were raised to think of meats as the most important part of any meal, but we often eat more meat than our bodies actu- ally need. MyPlate (www.choose- myplate.gov) recommends that adults consume 4 to 6 ounces of meat each day (three ounces is about the size of a deck of playing cards.) The institute of Medicine recommends that we get at least 10% and no more than 35% of calo- ries from protein. The specific amount that we needs changes with age. Protein is key to the growth and repair of your muscles, bones, lig- aments, tissues, and even hair, skin and nails. Protein food sources such as meat, poultry, fish, dry beans and peas, eggs, nuts, and seeds supply many nutrients. These include protein, B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, zinc, and magne- sium. We also get protein from grains such as wheat germ and oat bran. Plant foods such as beans and nuts are wise choices for pro- tein, since so many Americans fall short on fiber. Canned beans, such as black beans (1 cup equals 15 grams of protein), and kidney beans (1 cup equals 13 grams of protein) can be easily added to casseroles, soups and salads. Bags of dry beans are less expensive than canned. To prepare dry beans, add 2 cups of dry beans to 10 cups of cold water. Bring the water to a boil and con- tinue boiling for one to three min- utes. Cover the pot. Let stand for 4 hours, then drain and rinse the soaked beans. Cover the beans with fresh water. Serve plain or use in a favorite recipe; 1-1/2 cups of cooked beans equals 1 can of drained beans. Examples of meatless meals in- clude: homemade pizza with low- fat cheese, meatless chili, bean burritos, soups and stews that in- clude beans, beans and rice, chick- peas on salads and vegetable casserole dishes. To save money and lower your fat and cholesterol intake, consider non-meat proteins and smaller portions of meat. Consider cutting out meat one day each week by having Meatless Monday.

Ann Schwader, Nutrition Field Specialist SDSU Extension-Winner Regional Extension Center Plague Affecting Prairie Dog Populations? With much of the snow melting, and labeling of the chemical prod- ucts registered for prairie dogs al- lowing use for some time yet, some opportunity remains this winter for control. Before initiating chem- ical control measures however, landowners would be advised to make sure prairie dog towns are active. Several recent news stories have relayed the incidence of syl- vatic plague, the term assigned to cover all forms of plague in wild animals, which is affecting prairie dogs in various locations across the U.S. Sylvatic plague is believed to have been introduced into the North American prairie ecosystem around 1899, and was first docu- mented in a prairie dog colony near Lubbock, Texas, in 1946. A 1999 article states that plague has been active in black-tailed prairie dog populations in the northern Great Plains only within the last decade although it has been pres- ent for much longer. One source states that few if any healthy prairie dog complexes currently exist in the Southern Plains within the United States. Another article states that sylvatic plague was first detected in South Dakota in 2004, and has since been confirmed on the Fort Pierre National Grassland, the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands, in Bad- lands National Park and on the Lower Brule Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Other reports indi- cate that the plague may be affect- ing prairie dogs on private land as well. In cases where people have con- tracted the disease, it is usually re- ferred to as bubonic plague. When people contract the disease, it is usually from coming in contact with an infected rodent (such as a rat, a squirrel or a prairie dog) or their fleas. Before the advent of modern medicine, bubonic plague struck the human population in epidemic proportions every few centuries. Today, improved sanita- tion practices and modern insecti- cides and antibiotics have reduced the threat of plague epidemics in developed countries like the United States. According to an ar- ticle in late-November, 2012, there had not been any confirmed cases of the plague in people in South Dakota as of that time. Although it is said to be a rare occurrence, humans can contract the plague. Modern antibiotics are effective against plague, but treat- ment must begin promptly. Symp- toms include swollen and tender lymph glands accompanied by fever, chills, headache and extreme exhaustion. Although humans con- tracting the plague is said to be rare, it only makes sense to take precautions. People are advised to keep themselves and their pets flea-free and away from plagued areas. If you are working in or around a prairie dog town, take steps to minimize your exposure.

Head coach Matt Donnelly noted that everyone wrestled well and the team is almost back to full strength. Some are coming back from injuries and illness and he looks forward to them being better for the next tournament. Donnelly said that some schools are noted for certain techniques which give the wrestlers more ex- perience. The only way youre going to get better is to find the best and go after them, said Don- nelly. Twelve teams participated in the January 19 tournment with Philip scoring more than 45 points over their nearest competitor. Final team placings were Philip (278.5), Winner (233), Bon Homme (191.5), Mobridge-Pollock (155), Redfield/ Doland (115), Sunshine Bible Acad- emy (90.5), Mt.

Start time will be 9:00 a.m. Donnelly said the switch from two days to one will make for one long day, but is glad it could be rescheduled. First place at Winner for area wrestlers Athlete of the Week Kwincy Ferguson Girls Basketball Kwincy had 3 good games during the Southern Plains Tournament. She played very aggressively, both on offense and defense. She wasn't afraid to attack the basket and did a good job posting up under the basket although she's not your typ- ical post player. She is very tena- cious against her opponents and can create turnovers and draw fouls. She scored 37 points during the tournament and was named to the Southern Plains All-Tournament team. Keep up the hard work.

Kadoka's first game of the tour- nament had them playing the White River Tigers on their home court. Kwincy Ferguson, Marti Herber and Raven Jorgensen each had a basket, Tessa Stout hit a three pointer and Taylor Merchen made a free throw to give the Kougars a 10-7 lead after the first quarter. Both teams played pretty evenly the second quarter with Marti, Taylor, Tessa and Shaley Herber each scoring a basket. This gave the Kougars an 18-16 lead at half time. The Tigers fought back the third quarter and outscored the Kougars 12-8, giving White River the lead 28-26. However, the Kougars had a strong fourth quarter with Marti, Kwincy, Tessa, Katie and Shaley each scoring a bucket. Taylor and Raven made both their free throws when they were put on the line and Tori Letellier got a couple steals and scored 8 fourth-quarter points. The Kougars outscored the Tigers 22-6, which gave the girls the win with a score of 48-34. Tori lead scoring with 9 points, Kwincy - 8, Tessa - 7, Marti and Raven - 6, Taylor - 5, Shaley - 4 and Katie - 3. The Kougars were 7/15 from the free throw line and committed 18 total fouls. Kadoka 12 25 39 48 Jones Co. 15 29 46 60 Kadoka's second game of the Southern Plains Tournament had them facing a strong Jones County team. Both teams came out fo- cused, with the intent to win. Kadoka trailed 15-12 after the first quarter with Kwincy Ferguson scoring 3 buckets and 2 free throws and Katie Lensegrav and Destiny Dale each with a basket. Kwincy added another 7 points, Katie - 4 and Tori Letellier - 2, to trail the lady Coyotes 29-25 going onto half- time. The Kougars battled through the third quarter with Kwincy adding another 7 points, Marti and Katie with a bucket and Taylor with a bucket and free throw. The Coyotes outscored the Kougars 17- 14, which gave Jones Co. a 46-39 lead going onto the fourth quarter. The Kougars played hard to the very end, but didn't attack the bas- ket like they needed, which led to a 60-48 loss. Kwincy Ferguson led the team with 22 points and was 4/5 for free throws. Katie Lenseg- rav added 10 points, Taylor Merchen - 8, Tori Letellier - 4 and Marti Herber and Destiny Dale - 2. The Kougars were 6/10 from the free throw line and never had a 1-1 opportunity the whole game. Kadoka 11 24 37 53 Lyman 8 24 34 61 Kadoka played their final game of the Southern Plains Tournament in Colome against the Lyman Raiders. Both teams were evenly matched which made for an excit- ing ball game. Kadoka led at the end of the first quarter 11-8 with Tori Letellier scoring a basket and going 3/4 from the line. Kwincy Ferguson added a basket and free throw, Tessa Stout made a basket and Marti Herber added a free throw. The second quarter was very in- tense for both teams. Lyman put Kadoka in double bonus, but could only make 10/26. Lyman hit 3, three pointers the second quarter, which had the score tied 24-24 at half time. Kadoka came out strong the third quarter with Katie Lensegrav scoring 10 points, Taylor Merchen - 2 and Shaley Herber with a free throw. This gave the Kougars a 3- point lead going into the final quar- ter. Both teams took turns taking the lead throughout the fourth quarter, but Kadoka fell into foul trouble with Kwincy, Marti, Katie, Taylor and Tori fouling out. The Lady Raiders converted on free throws, which ended up giving them the win 61-53. The Lady Kougars played a good game despite the loss. They at- tacked the basket and rebounded better than the previous two games. Katie Lensegrav led the scoring with 16 points, Taylor Merchen - 10, Kwincy Ferguson - 7, Marti Herber and Tori Letellier - 5, Shaley Herber and Tessa Stout - 4, and Raven Jorgensen - 2. Kwincy Ferguson was chosen for the Southern Plains All- Tournamnet team. Great job Kwincy!
