Kadoka City Council discusses 

water tower, sound system issues 

~ by Ronda Dennis ~ 

Brad Jorgensen called the regular 

meeting of the Kadoka City 

Council to order on Monday, January 

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 council 

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 Christensen 

be there when Mid States 

looks at the system. In addition, 

Fugate asked that Colby Shuck attend 

as well. 

A motion carried to give $200 toward 

checking the sound system. 

Under the water/sewer report 

Nathan Riggins said they had 

moved a water line west of Discount 

Fuel. 

Riggins also presented a contract 

from Maguire Iron, Inc. for 

water tower work which would include 

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 

by Del Bartels 

Philip, a one-third partner of the 

continuing Stronger Economies Together 

project, hosted the Wednesday, 

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 contributing 

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 Badlands/ 

Bad River Region, Western 

Plains Region, Central Plains Connection, 

Old West Region or some 

other name that was in the suggestion 

jar. 

This two-year federal program is 

currently in its third round. The 

two-year program’s 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 focused 

on three main topics. The 

first point discussed was the current 

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, community 

development program director, 

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 percent 

of its population is over 65 

years of age. Communicable diseases, 

such as whooping cough and 

others, have been diminishing, 

South Dakota Rural Water Association 

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 approve 

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 he’d received a 

phone call regarding the city plowing 

alleys. 

The city alley ordinance reads 

that unless it’s a commercial alley, 

it is up to the residents to take care 

South Dakota Co-ops 

honored at meeting 

while degenerative diseases, such 

as cancer and those associated with 

old age, have been increasing. In 

Haakon County, the average income 

has increased, yet the number 

of people considered under the 

poverty line has also increased. 

Things can change. 

The second main topic was an attempt 

to determine what makes a 

strong region, particularly this region. 

Differences between the 

Philip, Kadoka and Wall communities 

are numerous. The similarities 

can be used to strengthen their 

partnership. 

The third main topic was an examination 

of existing economic development 

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 previous 

years. 

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 yearend 

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. 

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. 

SDREA’s 28 electric cooperative 

distribution systems and three generation 

and transmission electric 

cooperatives serve nearly 300,000 

people across 90 percent of South 

Dakota’s land mass. These systems 

are member-owned utilities established 

to provide at-cost electric 

service to more than 114,000 

farms, homes, schools, churches, 

businesses and other establishments 

across the state. 

SDREA is the service association 

of the state’s electric cooperatives 

and is devoted to unifying, 

promoting and protecting the interests 

of member electric cooperatives 

in South Dakota by providing 

leadership, training, communication, 

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 cooperative’s 

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 

state’s 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 Cooperative, 

Murdo; 35 Years of Service: 

Steve Reed, West Central Electric; 

50 Years of Service, Ray Osburn, 

Cherry Todd Electric.

Kari O’Neil, community development 

field specialist, stated that 

the kickoff session produced some 

great thoughts on how this region 

can gain a competitive advantage 

by working together, pooling resources 

and building relationships. 

As the sessions move forward, attendees 

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 passion 

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. 

Chance worth taking: Sutton, contractors 

come together in crossbreeding effort 

--by Debbie Kelley 

ProRodeo Sports News 

Steve Sutton is a gambling man. 

But he’s playing no ordinary game 

of chance. Sutton’s using mares as 

chips and superstar studs as his 

ace in the hole. 

There isn’t much to lose, the 

South Dakota stock contractor figures. 

A little time, effort and money 

could be up in smoke if his experiment 

fails. On the other hand, a 

windfall could be in the cards. 

Patience is in order first. He and 

five other stock contractors won’t 

know if their wager will pay off for 

about five years. 

“Nope, there are no guarantees,” 

Sutton said. “It’s a risk, and I’ve 

had people tell me I was crazy. But 

the bucking horse world needs a 

boost, and I’m 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 couldn’t talk anybody in 

the horse world into doing that,” 

Sutton said. “Now, we’re in the 

same situation with bucking horses 

– there’s a shortage of good ones.” 

The population of bucking 

horses has been in a crisis mode before. 

After World War II ended and 

rodeo resurged in popularity, stock 

contractors scrambled to meet demand, 

as more wide-open spaces 

became fenced, and fewer wild 

horses roamed the land. 

Stock contractors like Sutton’s 

grandfather James, a ProRodeo 

Hall of Famer, figured out how to 

breed horses to buck, and the 

process became an industry standard. 

Today, demand for rank bucking 

horses is once again outpacing sup- 

BankWest, Inc. receives honor 

from Department of Agriculture 

The United States Department 

of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development 

honored BankWest, Inc. 

today for their partnership in utilizing 

the USDA Business & Industry 

(B&I) Loan Guarantee Program 

to increase access to capital and 

support jobs for businesses in rural 

areas of South Dakota. BankWest 

has also utilized a USDA Rural Development 

Community Facilities 

Loan Guarantee to develop essential 

community facilities in the 

area. 

“President Obama is committed 

to strengthening rural communities,” 

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 business 

infrastructure to nurture economic 

growth.” 

USDA Rural Development provided 

a $296,200 Business and Industry 

Loan Guarantee for Bank 

West, Inc. that, through leveraging, 

assisted a local business. This project 

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 citizens 

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 & Industry 

(B&I) Guaranteed Loan program 

made available $33.2 million 

that, through leveraging $128 million, 

assisted nine businesses. 

The purpose of the B&I Guaranteed 

Loan Program is to improve, 

develop, or finance business, industry, 

and employment and improve 

ply, according to stock contractors. 

“It’s 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 PRCA’s 

Stock Contractor of the Year in 

1999. 

Sutton’s concept is simple. He 

rallied five competing stock contractors, 

including Sankey, to agree 

to share bloodlines of their champion 

bucking horses. Each brought 

10 mares and one high-caliber stud 

to Sutton’s 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 pasture. 

Sutton’s property is large 

enough that each band of mares – 

ranging from seven to 13 in number 

– had a separate pasture bordered 

by two fences, so the stallions 

couldn’t 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 exception 

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 joining 

but decided not to – not because 

she thinks it’s a bad idea but because 

the setup wasn’t right for 

her. 

Sutton asked Vold to pony up 

Painted Valley, the PRCA’s 2010 

Saddle Bronc of the Year and the 

top saddle bronc at the 2009 NFR. 

Vold declined.

the existing private credit structure

President Obama’s plan for 

rural America has brought about 

historic investment and resulted in 

stronger rural communities. Under 

the President’s leadership, these 

investments in housing, community 

facilities, businesses and infrastructure 

have empowered rural 

America to continue leading the 

way – strengthening America’s 

economy, small towns and rural 

communities. USDA’s 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 committed 

to a smarter use of Federal resources 

to foster sustainable 

economic prosperity and ensure the 

government is a strong partner for 

businesses, entrepreneurs and 

working families in rural communities. 

USDA, through its Rural Development 

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, residents, 

farmers and ranchers and 

improve the quality of life in rural 

America. 

“I’m glad more rodeo companies 

are working together to try to improve 

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 Valley’s) semen, and I 

want to keep the value of the product. 

My lack of involvement is not 

due to me not supporting the project 

but of protecting my commodity.” 

While stock contractors sometimes 

arrange individual stud 

trades with a fellow contractor to 

diversify bloodlines, they are generally 

protective of their stock. 

That, Vold said, has been a mistake. 

“What everyone’s 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. It’s 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 it’s a challenge 

for breeders to introduce new genetics 

to their stock and said he 

was excited to give Sutton’s program 

a try, bringing two worldchampion 

mares and others who 

have been good producers. 

“The ideal situation would be to 

end up with 10 colts that were all 

world champions. That’s not a realistic 

goal, but who knows?” he said. 

A proven bucking horse that’s good 

enough to be selected for the NFR 

can fetch around $40,000, Sutton 

said, adding that the rare top bucking 

broncs have sold for $100,000 

to $200,000. 

Sutton did not test the mares in 

this year’s program to see if they’re 

pregnant. Foaling should occur in 

mid-April. The offspring won’t be 

bucked until they’re about five 

years old, which is when they’ll 

demonstrate their prowess. 

No one seems worried about creating 

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 contractors. 

I think you’ll find investors 

starting to get into breeding because 

a horse can perform at his 

peak from five years old until 14 or 

15. A bull has maybe two to three 

years, and he’s peaked.” 

Sutton wants to make the crossbreeding 

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 we’ll celebrate at the 

NFR the great thing that was 

started here,” he said.

Ruby Kosters ___________________ 

Ruby Helm Kosters, 74, of 

Pierre, SD, was called home to 

heaven on Thursday January 17, 

2013, at Avera St. Mary’s Hospital 

in Pierre and has now joined the 

legions who walk with God. 

Ruby Gene Helm was born 

March 30, 1938, to Frieda Belle 

(Seiler) and Arthur Henry Helm at 

their farm northwest of Java, SD. 

She attended country school 

through eighth grade and Java 

High School, graduating in 1956. 

Ruby attended business college for 

one year in Aberdeen and worked 

at the county courthouse serving 

in the treasurer’s office. 

On July 17, 1957, Ruby married 

the love of her life, Henry Garret 

(Hank) Kosters at Selby, SD. They 

moved to Madison, SD, where she 

worked for a time at the local bank 

while Hank attended General Beadle 

State teacher’s college. During 

this time two daughters were born, 

Debra (1958) and Daria (1959). 

After Hank graduated from college, 

they spent two years at Fedora, 

SD, five years at Roscoe, SD, 

where three daughters, Donna 

(1962), Dianne (1964) and Dawn 

(1966) were born. Ruby lovingly 

supported Hank through a year of 

required residency at USD in Vermillion, 

SD, where he earned his 

Doctoral degree. She moved with 

the family to Pierre, SD, for 13 

years, where daughter Denise 

(1976) was born and in 1981, 

moved to New Underwood, SD, for 

three years, Rapid City for another 

three years and returned to Pierre 

where she resided until the time of 

her death. 

Inspiration Point 

John 17:1-26 

Sin is a divider. That’s what separated mankind 

from the Lord in the garden, and it has been fracturing 

Christ's Priority for His Church relationships ever since. It’s also the reason that God 

considers reconciliation so important. He wants to reestablish 

an intimate relationship with fallen humanity. But His desires for His children don’t 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 common 

identity as Christians is based on the essential truths of the faith as revealed in God’s 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 Christ’s character in their behavior. 

Ask the Lord to produce a desire for unity within your heart. When you’re tempted to demand your 

own way, remember what’s at stake. Accord in a local church allows God to do His work effectively through 

that congregation, but it’s 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. Marvin 

then attended Mitchell Vo- 

Tech, where he earned his 

electrician’s 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 Smith’s, when he made it 

home to the ranch near Philip. 

Marvin was a hard worker, and 

able to fix anything that needed repairs. 

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 Westerlund 

officiating.

Marjorie Anne Letellier - 462 6228 

“Money can’t buy happiness, 

but it can buy chickens, and that’s 

pretty much the same thing.” I 

read this little saying the other 

day and thought, “That’s about 

right.” For some strange reason, 

I’ve always liked having those silly 

critters running around the place 

making it homey. They’re so dreadfully 

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 don’t just wander out. 

They run and fly out to spread in 

all four directions. Pretty soon 

they’re chasing grasshoppers, 

scratching busily in the dirt, taking 

dust baths, and generally having 

a grand old time. Watching all 

this lifts my spirits and makes me 

smile. 

My neighbor, Chuck, apparently 

feels somewhat the same way. 

They haven’t 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 together 

enough to order some baby 

chicks so he now has eggs to sell 

from time to time. Since I unfortunately 

do not have any hens myself 

at present, this is good because 

farm-raised eggs do taste better 

than those shipped in to the grocery 

stores. They have more colorful 

yolks as well and firmer shells. 

Better-tasting eggs, actually, 

and more of them, are one of the 

main advantages of having chickens 

around. In my experience and 

financially speaking, you aren’t 

apt to make much money raising 

chickens. You’re probably lucky to 

break even. The birds are satisfying 

in other terms, some of which 

I’ve just mentioned, but as a 

money-maker not so much. 

Early last year, Chuck asked 

what breeds I’d found that might 

work out well for him. Heaven 

knows I’ve 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 

I’d 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 

Can’t Buy Happiness 

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 doesn’t 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 

don’t lay nearly as well as the ones 

bred strictly for egg production. 

The roosters also tend to get tough 

before they’re big enough to have 

much meat on them. I remember 

many years ago when Chuck’s 

wife, Merry, was grumbling 

around one day that she’d 

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 overstatement, 

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 twomonths 

of age, in fact, is going to 

be a little tough unless you fricassee 

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 applies 

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 people’s 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 saying 

the other day that probably applies 

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 people 

around here would definitely 

subscribe to that theory. It tends to 

get in the blood. Put another way, 

we might say, “Money can’t buy 

happiness, but it can buy horses 

and cattle, and that’s pretty much 

the same thing.” 

Working Together to Improve 

Public Safety 

By Gov. Dennis Daugaard 

In South Dakota, we have an opportunity 

to make our state safer 

and save tens of millions of taxpayer 

dollars. It is an opportunity 

we must seize. 

South Dakota’s prison population 

has grown by six times in the 

last 35 years. Spending on corrections 

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 imprisonment 

rates while also lowering 

their crime rates at twice the 

rate that South Dakota’s went 

down. 

If we do nothing, our prison population 

will grow by 900 inmates – 

that’s 25 percent – in the next 10 

years, costing taxpayers $224 million. 

We will need to build two new 

prisons. 

This spring, I joined the Chief 

Justice and legislative leaders in 

engaging over 400 stakeholders before 

establishing a bipartisan, 

inter-branch work group to look 

into this problem. The group included 

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 public 

safety dollars. I’m pleased that 

the work group came back with robust 

recommendations. 

Following my State of the State 

address, the Chief Justice and 70 

legislators, including the Republican 

and Democratic leaders of the 

House and the Senate, joined me in 

submitting the South Dakota Public 

Safety Improvement Act. 

This measure, Senate Bill 70, 

will improve supervision on probation 

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 offenders. 

Finally, the bill calls for improved 

victim notification and 

restitution collection, and it requires 

that all of these programs be 

measured and evaluated for effectiveness, 

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 forward, 

and I’m not alone in supporting 

the measure. I’m joined by the 

Chief Justice, Attorney General, 

Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, Victims 

Advocates, State’s 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 solutions 

to our biggest problems.ing to 

get back into a normal routine following 

the holidays may not have 

taken the time to ensure that kids 

and parents alike are vaccinated 

for the flu this season.

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 Bax’s 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 balanced 

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 Release 

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 Beverly’s son, Marvin, 

who was critically ill with heart 

problems. Marvin, unfortunately, 

died later in the week, and his funeral 

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 currently 

in the Rapid City hospital 

after his knee gave way last week. 

He’d 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 carpentry 

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 Mowry’s east of 

town, at Bitting’s northwest and at 

Mike Blom’s northeast. He said 

that James and Colter Carlson 

tried some coyote calling on Sunday 

at Lee Addison’s. Four coyote 

were called in but only was shot. 

Norma Headlee said it was a 

nice quite weekend for doing tax 

work so that’s 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 hasn’t given up yet. 

This weekend, though, she managed 

to stay out of trouble and did 

not need Tom’s 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 division. 

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 Saturday. 

Jo said they are still working 

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 

didn’t have to man a post office 

somewhere. In other words, Monday 

was a holiday from running a 

post office but not from postal duties 

altogether. 

Russ and Gay Spinsby are staying 

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 Casey’s 

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 December 

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 grandkids 

unless something unexpected 

comes along. 

Greg and Dana Badure and kids 

were visited by Eric and Pam Osborn 

on Sunday. Eric brought along 

his saw and helped shore up a 

weak spot in the floor that occasionally 

made one wonder if it 

might give way and deposit someone 

in the basement. The family 

lately has been putting a new 

Christmas gift to good use. It is a 

video game called Wii which involves 

standing up to play it. It is 

quite popular with the kids especially, 

and Greg says it has some 

physical activity involved which 

isn’t a bad thing. 

South Dakota Sheriffs’ Association 

membership program wants you 

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 association 

also provides training, legislative 

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 membership 

each spring to help fund 

several of its programs. Citizens and 

businesses become members by paying 

the membership dues by mail or 

by visiting their local sheriff’s office 

and filling out a membership application. 

Each member receives a 

membership card and a subscription 

to the association’s newsletter. 

To retain its membership base, 

renewal notices are mailed to current 

members along with updated 

credentials. According to Executive 

Director Staci Eggert, “Many of our 

members support us because of the 

good work we’re doing throughout 

the state and because it makes them 

proud to know that through their financial 

contributions, they are helping 

their county sheriff.” 

Eggert also stressed that citizen 

memberships are solicited by mail 

only - never by telephone. Their “No 

Telemarketing” policy has been in 

effect since the association’s inception 

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 identify 

themselves as being the SDSA. 

This should be reported. 

Its newest campaign will be 

mailed in January. For further information 

on membership in the 

SDSA, contact Eggert at 

admin@southdakotasheriffs.org or 

PO Box 130, Howard, SD 57349. 

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 dinner 

guest on Tuesday. 

The James Letelliers were 

among those enjoying the basketball 

game Tuesday evening between 

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 polish 

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’ basketball 

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 River’s 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, January 

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 17¾ inches long. 

Grace was welcomed home by her 

three big brothers. Proud grandparents 

are June and the late 

Lawrence Ring of Norris. 

Howard and Nette Heinert visited 

Robert and Sharon Ring on 

Sunday afternoon. 

Norris is once again home to another 

crowned princess. Georgianne 

Larvie of Blackpipe was 

crowned Miss Rosebud at a ceremony 

at the Tribal Council Chambers 

on January 9, 2013 by the 

outgoing Miss Rosebud Brianne 

Herman. Georgianne is a very active 

junior at White River High 

School and the daughter of Tasha 

Larvie. These kids never cease to 

give us something to boast aboutwe 

are all so proud of them. 

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 suffered 

a crushed shoulder from a 

four wheeler accident a week or so 

ago while moving cattle. 

JoAnn Letellier attended a

this week. Carol Ferguson worked 

here at the Norris Post Office in 

her absence. 

Julie Letellier of Kilgore spent 

the Martin Luther King Day holiday 

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 Marjorie 

get situated in Philip. Bill is 

in the nursing home and Marjorie 

is a resident at the Silver Leaf Assisted 

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 activities 

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 vaccinating 

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.

The Miss America Pageant is 

over, but the memories for Miss 

South Dakota’s extended family 

will live on. All of Calista Kirby’s 

immediate family were in Las 

Vegas for the pageant and all are 

safely home. Calista’s parents and

Meatless Meals 

With this year’s drought, economists 

are predicting a rise in next 

year’s 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 actually 

need. MyPlate (www.choosemyplate.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 calories 

from protein. The specific 

amount that we needs changes 

with age. 

Protein is key to the growth and 

repair of your muscles, bones, ligaments, 

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 magnesium. 

We also get protein from

Stamp Pads & Ink • Paper 

Check with 

us first 

Let us give you 

all your price 

quotes 

grains such as wheat germ and oat 

bran. Plant foods such as beans 

and nuts are wise choices for protein, 

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 continue 

boiling for one to three minutes. 

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 include: 

homemade pizza with lowfat 

cheese, meatless chili, bean 

burritos, soups and stews that include 

beans, beans and rice, chickpeas 

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”. Check

Plague Affecting Prairie Dog 

Populations? 

With much of the snow melting, 

and labeling of the chemical products 

registered for prairie dogs allowing 

use for some time yet, some 

opportunity remains this winter 

for control. Before initiating chemical 

control measures however, 

landowners would be advised to 

make sure prairie dog towns are 

active. 

Several recent news stories 

have relayed the incidence of sylvatic 

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 documented 

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 present 

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 Badlands 

National Park and on the 

Lower Brule Indian Reservation in 

South Dakota. Other reports indicate 

that the plague may be affecting 

prairie dogs on private land as 

well. 

In cases where people have contracted 

the disease, it is usually referred 

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 sanitation 

practices and modern insecticides 

and antibiotics have reduced 

the threat of plague epidemics in 

developed countries like the 

United States. According to an article 

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 treatment 

must begin promptly. Symptoms 

include swollen and tender 

lymph glands accompanied by 

fever, chills, headache and extreme 

exhaustion. Although humans contracting 

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.

With colder temperatures often 

come runny noses, sore throats and 

unfortunately, the flu. Families 

across South Dakota who are trying 

to get back into a normal routine 

following the holidays may not 

have taken the time to ensure that 

kids and parents alike are vaccinated 

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 businesses 

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. 

It’s 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. 

From Senator Jim Bradford 

We’re now well into committee 

work in both Senate Health and 

Senate Judiciary as we end the second 

week of the session. As I’ve 

known over the 12 years I’ve served 

in the Legislature, the 38 days of 

the Legislature go by quickly. As I 

mentioned in my last article, I’ve 

spent many days prior to the start 

of this session serving on the Governor’s 

Criminal Justice Task Initiative 

Task Force which will be 

bringing forth legislation in this 

session to improve our justice system 

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 Appropriations 

Committee and let my 

voice show support for this attempt 

to help reduce the numbers of inmates 

in our prisons and provide 

treatment for those who suffer 

from addictions. On Friday, Jan. 18 

I again testified in front of the Senate 

State Affairs Committee where 

it passed unanimously. 

Earlier this week I attended 

briefings on the proposed Medicaid 

expansion which I support. Medicaid 

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

Fighting the Flu 

Since President Obama took office 

in 2009, an additional 15 million 

Americans have been added to 

the food stamp rolls. This trend has 

continued despite economic indicators 

coming from his administration 

that suggest the number of 

Americans out of work and enrolling 

in government safety net 

programs should be on the decline. 

The most recent food stamp participation 

numbers paint a very 

troubling picture of the U.S. economy. 

According to the latest statistics 

released on January 4, 2013, 

by the Department of Agriculture, 

the number of Americans enrolled 

in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program, commonly referred 

to as food stamps, has spiked 

to nearly 48 million people, or 

nearly 15 percent of the U.S. population. 

Food stamp enrollment has 

increased by more than 607,000 

just since the last report was published 

in December of 2012. 

The enrollment of such a large 

number of Americans in the food 

stamp program has come at an extremely 

high cost to taxpayers. 

Last year alone the U.S. government 

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 reviewing 

the rapid increase in enrollment 

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

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-washing. 

South Dakota has the highest 

vaccination rate in the country – 

with over half of our population receiving 

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 additional 

questions or concerns regarding 

the flu vaccine.

Time to Reform the Broken 

Food Stamp Program 

By Sen. John Thune 

instead create an ongoing dependency 

on government programs? 

In December of 2012, I sent a 

letter along with Senator Jeff Sessions 

(R-Ala.) to Wendy Spencer, 

Chief Executive Officer for the Corporation 

for National and Community 

Service (CNCS), a government 

entity responsible for matching 

government paid volunteers with 

local community service organizations. 

Our letter outlined our concerns 

that current CNCS policies 

and promotional materials may be 

encouraging the exploitation of 

food stamps by paid CNCS volunteers, 

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 another 

federal program, it is difficult 

to predict just how far and widespread 

fraud and abuse may reach. 

It is time for Congress to engage 

in a meaningful discussion about 

how to best reduce poverty and expand 

upward mobility for all Americans, 

and take decisive action to 

achieve this goal. Congress must 

strike a balance to ensure that we 

protect our country’s most vulnerable 

and those who legitimately 

need assistance while also cutting 

federal spending, reprioritizing federal 

programs, and eliminating 

waste, fraud, and abuse. As Congress 

prepares to address our nation’s 

overall federal spending, I 

will continue to advocate for common-sense 

reforms to our nation’s 

safety net programs that will improve 

America’s social, fiscal, and 

economic health. 

recipients are children and 31% are 

adults. Disabled adults and low-income 

parents qualify for Medicaid. 

Many of our nursing home residents 

qualify for Medicaid. The Affordable 

Care Act (ACA) allows the 

states to expand coverage to those 

adults who qualify if they are at 

138% of the poverty level. (Children 

are already covered whether 

or not we expand Medicaid). 

The population affected by the 

expansion would be South Dakota’s 

working poor who do not typically 

receive health insurance through 

their employer. If states choose to 

expand Medicaid, the federal government 

will cover 100 percent of 

the costs from 2014 to 2016. The 

feds' contribution will begin to decrease 

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.

Tournament for the Philip Area 

team as they brought back the first 

place team award, eight first and 

second individual awards, along 

with five other placings, and Rance 

Johnson was voted “Most Outstanding 

Wrestler.” 

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 experience. 

“The only way you’re 

going to get better is to find the 

best and go after them,” said Donnelly. 

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),

Lady Kougars 2 of 3 at 

Southern Plains Tournament 

Kadoka 10 18 26 48 

White River 7 16 28 34 

The Lady Kougars took part in 

the Southern Plains Basketball 

Tournament last Thursday, Fridday 

and Saturday. 

Kadoka's first game of the tournament 

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 focused, 

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 halftime. 

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 basket 

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 Lensegrav 

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 exciting 

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 intense 

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 quarter. 

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 attacked 

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! 

Kadoka's next games will be 

double headers against Jones 

County on Thursday, Jan. 24 at 

3:00 p.m. MT and Bison on Friday, 

Jan 25 at 11:00 a.m. MT.

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 typical 

post player. She is very tenacious 

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.
