Kadoka and Midland meet for first 

contest in six man football; home game 

September 30. 

The opening game for the Kadoka 

High School six man football team will 

be played at Midland on Friday afternoon, 

September 23. 

This will be the first season football 

has been attempted by either school, 

but a lively contest is expected. Coach 

Forrest Jones has been working with a 

squad of sixteen players since the opening 

of school here, and much improvement 

has been shown by the boys in the 

fundamentals of the game. Starting 

with absolutely no experience the boys 

have shown much interest in the game 

and have developed nicely, although too 

much cannot be expected of their first 

appearance or even their first season’s 

work because they will be playing experienced 

teams in some of their games 

this year. 

Probably only twelve men will make 

the trip to Midland Friday, according to 

1938 team … Included Marvin Willert, Don Thimson, Russell Hicks, Harvey Peterson, 

Ova Potter, Bob Coye, Glenn Corrington, Russell Corrington, Oliver Willert, 

Kenneth Wilson, Russel Bechen, Robert Olney, Claude Potter, Melvin Hicks, James 

Baldwin, Coach Forrest L Jones. Record 5-2: Kadoka 33, Cottonwood 6; Kadoka 8, 

Midland 33; Kadoka 31, Philip 12; Kadoka 0, Midland 13; Kadoka 48, Okaton 0; Kadoka 

12, Wall 2; Kadoka 46, Okaton 0. Average player weight was 147 pounds. 

Jones, but the entire squad may see action 

in the game with Cottonwood here 

on September 30. 

Six man football has proven a very 

popular sport in the smaller schools 

where the limited number of students 

and the expense have prohibited these 

schools from indulging in eleven man 

football. The game is very similar to the 

eleven man game although played 

much more open and on a slightly 

smaller field. The six man field is 40x80 

yards, whereas the eleven man field is 

50x100 yards. 

Equipment was secured here by a 

purchase of some suits from Philip and 

a gift of some equipment from the 

School of Mines at Rapid City. 

A field will probably be laid out on 

the baseball diamond lots for games, although 

the boys have been using the 

lots back of the Victoria Hall for a practice 

field. 

Much interest is being developed in 

football here this fall and a good crowd 

is expected to be on hand to witness the 

first home game with Cottonwood, Friday 

afternoon. 

1945 team … Six-man football: Back row: Ivol Novak, Ted Pettyjohn, Clifford 

Starkjohann, Bob Holcomb, Allen Brugman, Jerry Marcheso, Floyd Starkjohann, Vernon

Kadoka 1964-65 Student Council 

Taken from the 1964-65 Kadoka School annual. 

President Bob Stout, Vice President Judy Zickrick, and Secretary-Treasurer 

Roxy Stevens were elected as the constitutional officers of the 1964-65 council. 

The first goal of the hard-working council was to establish the first homecoming 

for Kadoka. This goal reached its climax on October 30 with the homecoming football 

game with Wall and the homecoming dance and coronation that night. 

1949 team … Six-man football: Back row: Coach Burdetta Clifford, Norman Dunsmore, 

Lloyd Vogelgesang, Stanton Uhlir, Donald Perault, Delane Boyer, Jay Stratton, 

Marion Arment. Middle row: Reese Brugman, Jerry Ryan, Ilo Fralick, Dale Johnson, 

Bob Enders, Harold Parke. Front row: Gene Stone, Jimmy Parke, Jerry Stilwell, Robert

1964 KHS Homecoming Royalty 

Taken from the October 1965 

Kadoka Press. 

Roxy Stevens and Dennis Headlee, 

seniors in the Kadoka High School, 

were crowned last week as the homecoming 

queen and king at the Kadoka 

High School’s homecoming held Thursday 

evening and Friday. Attendants to 

the royalty were Mary Ann Slater, Judy 

Zickrick, Bruce Brugman and Bob 

Stout, all seniors. 

The KHS royalty were chosen by the 

high school student body in an election 

two weeks ago, but the announcement 

of the king and queen was not made 

public until the pep rally which was 

held on Thursday evening. 

The pep rally was highlighted by a 

bonfire and a snake dance which wound 

through the streets of Kadoka. 

Climaxing the homecoming activities 

was the homecoming football game 

with Wall Friday evening. It was also 

Dad’s Night at the football game. Prior 

to the starting of the game the players 

and their dads were introduced to the 

huge crowd which was on hand for the 

contest. Fathers were given numbers 

identical to those of their sons and wore 

them during the game. All the fathers 

of the football players were present for 

the homecoming game. Wall won the 

game by a score of 14 to 2 in a well 

played contest. 

Homecoming activities ended Friday 

night with a dance in the city auditorium, 

with music provided by the “Toreadors” 

from Scotland, SD.

John F. Parke __________________ 

John Parke was born in Kadoka, 

South Dakota, on February 24, 

1943 to Olive and Merle Parke. He 

grew up in Kadoka with five brothers 

and sisters; William, Clifford, 

Frances, Faye and Kathie. 

He married Aletha Cadman on 

Valentine’s Day 1963 and they 

moved to Rapid City shortly after 

they were married. In the Spring of 

1967, they bought five acres of timber 

in the Rockerville area south of 

town where they built their home 

by hand and raised four boys; 

Shawn, Kirby, Blake and Robbie. 

All of John’s family and friends 

loved to visit he and Aletha on their 

five acres because it was so peaceful 

and quiet. Even though all of 

the boys are grown and moved 

away with families of their own, 

they still call the place in the 

“sticks” home. 

John joined the South Dakota 

Army National Guard in 1961 even 

before graduating high school. He 

started work as a full time National 

Guard technician at Camp 

Rapid in 1964. He graduated Officer 

Candidate School in 1969 and 

received a commission as a Second 

Lieutenant in the Quartermaster 

Meals for

Thursday, October 4 

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and 

gravy, seasoned green beans, 

bread, and tropical fruit. 

Friday, October 5 

Vegetable beef soup, meat sandwich,

Inspiration Point 

Corps in 1970. John served in the 

South Dakota Army National 

Guard for 35 years in many different 

leadership and management 

capacities, retiring in 1996 as a 

Lieutenant Colonel at the early age 

of 53. John led by example. He 

often said that common sense and 

experience were the best teachers. 

He was a dedicated volunteer. 

He spent 45 years on the Rockerville 

Volunteer Fire Department 

serving in all capacities. Following 

retirement, he and Aletha bought a 

small 5th wheel trailer and joined 

the United Methodist Church 

Nomad’s organization travelling 

throughout the United States on 

volunteer construction and remodeling 

projects. He discovered 

the Nomads were a perfect fit for 

his love of travelling, volunteering 

and building things with “gently 

used” building supplies. He also 

volunteered at many local organizations 

throughout his life, including 

the Club for Boys and later at 

the Club for Boys Thrift Store. 

John was always ready to help 

members of the church, neighbors, 

friends and family. He was known 

as “MacGyver” to his close friends 

as he could build or fix just about 

anything. His God-given talents 

are left in many places. He enriched 

the daily life of many with 

his wit and humor along the way. 

He’s now working with the Master 

Carpenter. 

An avid fisherman and hunter, 

John was at home fishing anything 

from the lakes and rivers of the 

Black Hills, to the numerous stock 

dams around Kadoka, to the Missouri 

River, to the Canadian Lakes. 

One of his favorite activities was 

“deer counts” on the many gravel 

and dirt forest service roads in the 

Black Hills. He and his brother 

Clifford owned a cabin in the 

Rochford area for many years. That 

was one of his favorite places to 

spend weekends and holidays with 

family and friends 

He will be greatly missed by his 

wife Aletha, sons Shawn (Teresa) of 

Gretna, Nebraska; Kirby (Shelli) of 

Meridian, Idaho; Blake (Kim) of 

Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and 

Robbie (April) of Tacoma, WA; 

twelve grandchildren and one step 

great granddaughter. 

John was preceded in death by 

his parents, Merle and Olive 

Parke, and niece Kristine Parke 

McQuistion. 

A Celebration of Life was held in 

Rapid City at the South Maple 

United Methodist Church on Friday, 

September 14. He was laid to 

rest at the Black Hills National 

Cemetery at 2:00 p.m. with military 

honors. 

A memorial has been established 

in John’s name at the Rapid City 

Club for Boys. 

Funeral arrangements were provided 

by Kirk Funeral Home. 

There is an online guest book 

available at www.kirkfuneralhome.com 

There is good science showing a 

glass or two of wine per night protects 

against heart disease. But 

what can be helpful to some, can 

be poison for others. 

One study found 53% of people 

in the US have a close relative who 

has a drinking problem. At last 

count 17.6 million in this country 

are alcoholic or alcohol abusive. Alcohol 

excess causing auto crashes, 

homicide and suicide, liver-heartbrain-kidney 

illness, and brain 

damage to the unborn, costs the 

US about 185 billion dollars per 

year, not to mention incalculable 

human suffering. 

“Alcoholic” means four things: 

craving, can’t stop, withdrawal 

symptoms, and needing more and 

more to get high. This is different 

from “abuse”, which means a pattern 

of drinking which results in 

failed work or school responsibilities, 

driving while drunk, legal 

problems or social and family problems. 

Although separate by definition, 

many alcoholics also 

experience alcohol abuse. 

Maybe the power of addiction 

has to do with what one friend 

said, “It’s amazing how booze 

Galatians 5:13 

God has a purpose for your life. If that weren't true, 

He'd have taken you home to heaven at the moment of 

The Believer's Purpose salvation. Do you ever wonder why He left you here? 

The Lord intends to influence others through you. 

Our purpose is to be a vessel through which Christ overflows to others--touching those who hurt and desperately 

need a Savior. Once we are saved, Scripture teaches, our involvement is threefold. 

First, we love others. Jesus clearly stated that this was one of the two greatest commandments (Matt. 

22:38-39). 

Second, we share the good news of salvation (Acts 1:8). Some travel across the world to spread the 

gospel, while others teach neighbors across the street. The Holy Spirit will direct us to the right people 

if we are willing to obey. 

Third, we serve in a variety of ways, like helping those in need, sharing our resources, and lifting 

others in prayer. Jesus is our perfect example of all three. His entire life was marked by caring for people--both 

those who loved Him and those who did not. In fact, the Bible teaches that He humbled Himself 

and became like us, willing to give up His life for our redemption. There is no greater love; there is no 

greater act of service. 

Scripture clearly defines the believer's purpose. Aligning ourselves with God's intentions for His children--loving 

others, witnessing, and serving-- bring us great satisfaction. In fact, we're still on earth not 

merely to hear more teaching but to act on it and share with others what we learn. 

Deer licenses reduced, refunds offered due to die-offs 

The South Dakota Game, Fish 

and Parks Department has been 

monitoring die-offs of white-tailed 

deer across portions of the state 

and must make adjustments to 

some West River deer hunting 

units. 

Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease 

(EHD) has been confirmed in 

white-tailed deer, and many of the 

deer deaths being reported by the 

public are suspected to be the result 

of that disease. 

In response to the disease, all 

unsold licenses will be removed 

from the following deer hunting 

units for the West River deer season: 

Bennett County: 11A-09 and 

11B-17; Gregory County: 30A-19 

and 30B-19; and Jackson County: 

39B-09. In addition, 200 licenses 

will be removed for Meade County: 

49B-09. 

“As the department continues to 

monitor the outbreak of EHD over 

the next couple of weeks, we will 

provide additional recommendations 

to the Game, Fish and Parks 

Commission at its October meeting 

to address East River deer units,” 

said GFP Secretary Jeff Vonk. 

“Currently, the department plans 

to recommend that the commission 

remove all unsold licenses in Bon 

Homme, Hutchinson, and Yankton 

counties and make significant reductions 

to leftover licenses in 

Brule and Charles Mix counties for 

the second draw of the East River 

deer season. Between now and the 

next commission meeting, we will 

continue our surveillance efforts 

with the possibility of additional license 

reductions.” 

Aside from conducting ground 

surveillance and collecting reports 

from the public, GFP is also using 

aerial flights to help determine the 

severity of deer mortalities. 

“Reports of dead deer are coming 

from across the state, and in some 

instances landowners are telling 

traditionally hosted hunters that 

opportunities will be limited,” Vonk 

said. “With that in mind, GFP is 

notifying deer hunters that they 

can voluntarily return a deer license 

for any season prior to the 

start of that respective season and 

receive a full refund.” 

Hunters desiring a refund for a 

deer license should send their license, 

including all associated tags, 

to: GFP Licensing Office; 20641 SD 

Highway 1806; Fort Pierre, SD 

57532. 

EHD is common in white-tailed 

deer and is typically detected in 

late summer or early fall. The virus 

is spread by a biting midge and 

causes extensive internal hemorrhaging. 

Many deer exhibit no clinical 

signs and appear perfectly 

healthy, while others may have 

symptoms such as respiratory distress, 

fever, and swelling of the 

tongue. With highly virulent 

strains of the virus, deer can be 

dead within 1-3 days. In an attempt 

to combat the high fever, affected 

deer are often found in 

low-lying areas or near rivers, 

ponds and other waters. 

GFP continues to ask individuals 

who see sick deer or find dead 

deer to contact their local conservation 

officer or call the Pierre office 

at 605-773-5913. 

EHD is not infectious to humans.

EHD virus visit

Alcoholism 

makes you think you’re so intelligent!” 

The paradox is that the 

stuff that makes one feel so smart, 

in reality, at the same time is destroying 

judgment. People can’t 

get out of it because they don’t realize 

they’re in it. 

The CAGE questions help identify 

when there could be a problem: 

C stands for “cutting down”, A for 

“annoyed” be criticism about 

drinking, G for feelings of “guilt”, 

and E for the “eye-opener” in the 

morning to steady nerves. One yes 

is worrisome, and two means 

someone needs help. 

There is a myth that alcoholism 

is a sign of moral weakness, and to 

seek help is to admit some type of 

shameful act. In fact, alcoholism 

is a disease like diabetes or 

asthma, and not a sign of weakness 

or ethical deficiency. 

Why is it that alcohol will take 

hold of some people, and not let go 

until it’s destroyed their lives or 

the lives of those around them? 

We don‘t know the answer to that 

question but what we do know is 

that if there is a problem with alcohol, 

there is help to be had. You 

just need to ask for it.

Lookin’ Around 

by Syd Iwan 

Confidence 

I unclogged the drain on the 

bathroom sink earlier this week. It 

had been getting worse and worse 

over the last month to six weeks 

until it had become very slow to 

empty. Using it required a bit more 

patience than I had. It was time or 

past time to fix things. 

Accordingly, I rounded up the 

big pliers-like tool I bought ages 

ago after seeing plumber Lloyd 

using one like it to good effect 

many times. A couple of screwdrivers 

were grabbed as well. Then 

I cleaned out the vanity under the 

sink just in case I made an unmitigated 

mess which was somewhat 

likely going on past experience. 

Taking a deep breath, I adjusted 

the pliers to the size of the nut on 

the plastic pipe and tentatively 

gave it a turn. It moved easily. 

“Oh, good!” I said. The nut on the 

other side of the trap moved just as 

easily. I could unscrew both of 

them by hand from there on. 

Oddly enough, the trap was 

completely clear. The problem had 

to be farther up. I probed up there 

with a big screwdriver and 

brought some stuff out, but the 

clog seemed to be higher still. 

Standing up, I considered how to 

get the drain plug out since some 

of those are connected by complicated 

screw contraptions that have 

completely defeated me in the 

past. When I gave a tug, though, 

the plug came right out. “That was 

easy,” I said in relief. From there I 

could see the obstruction, and the 

screwdriver soon had it out. It was 

a nasty glob of hair and unidentifiable 

slime. It only took a minute 

or two to remove it and flush the 

pipe into the pail I had under the 

drain below. Mission accomplished 

except for reconstruction. 

Luckily, the plug snapped right 

back in, and the trap went back on 

about as easily as it had come off. 

I tightened things with the pliers 

and tested my work by running 

some water through. No leaks. Excellent! 

A few wipes with a couple 

of paper towels and the job was 

done. “That was easy,” I said to 

myself. “Why didn’t I do that 

weeks ago?” 

“Because you don’t have any 

confidence in your plumbing 

skills,” was my immediate reply to 

myself. And that is so. It is not an 

area where I shine. I can do such 

things, but natural talent, aptitude 

and experience are somewhat 

lacking. As a result, I would rather 

put up with the inconvenience of a 

slow drain than actually try to fix 

it. 

Belvidere News 

Bob Fortune spent from Thursday 

evening until Sunday in Rapid 

City attending the Stockgrowers 

Convention. Since Bob is vice-president 

of the organization, he kept 

fairly busy with meetings and 

such. He said there was a good 

turnout, and it was a good meeting. 

The fundraising auction went well 

as did the awards banquet on Saturday 

evening. The main convention 

ended Saturday evening, but 

there was a board of directors 

meeting on Sunday that Bob also 

had to stay for. Bob’s wife, Ruth, 

came from Wyoming to spend the 

weekend in Rapid City with Bob at 

the convention. 

Kenny and Roxie Fox also spent 

the weekend at the Stockgrowers 

Convention in Rapid City. Wade 

Fox went up on Saturday for the 

day. Kenny was president of the organization 

for the usual two-year 

term which ended last year. Past 

presidents, however, immediately 

go onto the board of directors for 

ten years, so he had to stay 

through Sunday afternoon to attend 

the board meeting. Kenny 

said it was nice to get home, however, 

and get back out on the 

prairie, check the cows, and do the 

usual things. Mark DeVries also attended 

the convention. 

Chuck and Merry Willard attended 

the Stockgrowers Convention 

this weekend. Their daughter, 

Niki Kleinsasser, came from Hot 

Springs to look after things at the 

ranch while they were gone. Merry 

just got home from spending about 

three weeks with her daughter, 

Coleen, and family at Pinedale, 

WY. Coleen came here first for a 

couple of weeks with her daughter, 

Frankie, during which they entertained 

the flu. Then Merry, Coleen 

and Frankie visited Casey Willard 

in Nebraska overnight before going 

to Pinedale with a stopover of a 

night at Casper, WY. At Pinedale, 

Merry played with Frankie quite a 

bit which she enjoyed. She also 

helped some with the hunting 

camp Coleen and Billy run as outfitters. 

While there, everyone took 

a four-plus hour drive to Salt Lake 

City, Utah. Merry also got to meet 

Billy’s grandma whom she hadn’t 

met previously since the grandma

As you know, a lack of confidence 

can inhibit our attempts to 

do various things. We might kind 

of want to do various jobs or activities 

but don’t because we aren’t 

sure we can pull it off. Dealing 

with electrical matters certainly 

falls into that category with me. 

I’m not very confident when it 

comes to plumbing, but double or 

triple that with electricity. You 

might make a big mess if you goof 

up in plumbing, but you could end 

up dead through a mistake with 

electricity. I’m not sure that will 

ever change with me so I am not 

hesitant to call in an actual electrician 

if things look somewhat beyond 

me. I plan to continue that 

practice. 

In other areas, though, I can accomplish 

what I want to do if I 

work at it. About the first thing I 

need to do, however, is relax. If 

you’re all tensed up, you can’t do 

much. This I learned in part 

through playing complicated musical 

pieces in public. If you’re too 

tense, your music won’t be very 

good or you’ll scramble the hard 

parts. I have to just tell myself 

that, yes, there is a chance I’ll goof 

up and embarrass myself, but, 

what the heck. So be it. I’m going 

to give it a shot anyway and try to 

have a good time in the process. A 

lot of practice beforehand, of 

course, will make public performance 

easier. 

Public speaking is another instance 

of where one needs to consciously 

relax. Seeing all those 

eyes watching you could possibly 

make one tense. I don’t have much 

of a problem with that anymore, 

but it was harder to do earlier in 

life when I’d had no experience 

with it. 

You know, when Joshua was 

about to lead the Israelites into the 

Promised Land, God repeatedly 

told him, “Be strong and courageous. 

Be strong and courageous.” 

This was possible for Joshua because 

God had promised to be with 

him and help him. God promises to 

do the same for us if we trust him, 

even in everyday matters like 

plumbing. 

Oh dear! Wife Corinne just informed 

me that another drain in 

the house is having problems and 

could use some work. Perhaps I’d 

better deal with that while my triumph 

over the first drain is still 

fresh in my mind. As the little 

train says in the childhood story 

about climbing a steep hill, “I 

think I can. I think I can. I think I 

can.” 

wasn’t able to come when Billy and 

Coleen got married. Merry said it 

was nice to be back home. 

Francie Davis and her three 

sons just got back from spending 

two weeks near Sioux Falls. They 

were house and horse sitting for 

some friends who went to Korea for 

a brother’s wedding. On Saturday, 

they attended the Bad River 

Buckaroo 5K walk/ride/run at Midland. 

The boys opted to ride their 

bikes but Francie ran. Chad had to 

work and did neither. 

John and Samantha Addison attended 

the horse sale in Philip on 

Saturday. They came home with a 

couple of pretty little colts. Samantha’s 

dad, Gordon Flesner, of 

Milesville was also at the sale. Son 

Koye attended the parade and 

other festivities in Midland this 

weekend and had lots of fun. He 

was taken by his grandmother and 

great grandmother, Diana and 

Marie. Sam said it was possible 

that Koye ate a little too much 

candy during his outing since he 

was a bit high when he got back 

home. Samantha also said that, of 

the five siblings in her family, four 

are twins and Sam is one of them. 

Sam’s mom was also a twin, but the 

twinning tendency hasn’t passed 

down to the next generation yet. 

Ronda and Rick Dennis went to 

Rapid City on Saturday to work on 

Dana’s deck. They spent the night, 

returning home Sunday afternoon. 

Larry, Jo and Jenny Johnston 

attended the parade and pancake 

supper in Kadoka and football 

game in Philip Friday night. Saturday 

night they went to the dance in 

Midland. 

Greg and Dana Badure and kids 

took in the homecoming festivities 

in Kadoka this weekend. The kids 

had suffered with the flu during 

the week, and Greg was having 

some trouble with that on Sunday 

evening as well as having some 

back trouble during the week. Greg 

said that Brisa is scheduled to be 

on KOTA TV on October 10 when 

she will paint a pumpkin on Paula 

Vogelsang’s Pennywise show. 

Dana’s mom came from Sheridan, 

WY, last week in her yellow Mustang 

convertible. She worked as a 

nurse in Sheridan for many years 

but retired last year. She occasionally 

likes to run around in her 

sporty little car. Greg said brother 

Bax and his wife, Carol, were in 

Rapid City this weekend. He also 

said their daughter, Brianna, has 

recently started working at the VA 

in Hot Springs. She plans to continue 

her college work but will do it 

mostly over the Internet. 

Mike and Marlene Perault took 

in the homecoming parade, pancake 

supper and such in Kadoka on 

Friday. On Saturday, they went to 

the fireman’s feed and dance over 

at Midland. Lonny Johnston, Herman 

Bork, and their band, Westbound, 

provided the music for the 

dance. Marlene said she especially 

enjoys it when the local band plays. 

Painting was on the schedule for 

Sunday to atone for having fun the 

previous two days. That evening, 

Bud and Valene Perault came for 

supper. Earlier in the week, Mike 

and Bert helped fight the big fire 

over at Okaton. It was a fast moving, 

slightly scary blaze, especially 

when the fire truck they were 

using quit, possibly from a lack of 

oxygen. The truck had to be just deserted 

while the men on it escaped 

to safer quarters. Although the fire 

burned all around the truck, the 

truck itself didn’t suffer any damage. 

When they went back to reclaim 

it, the revolving light on top 

was still going around and the 

doors were open just like they left 

it. Colter Carlson and Cole Hindman 

also helped fight the fire and 

weren’t that fond of it. 

Frost was reported at several 

low-lying areas on Saturday night. 

One place was at Lee Addison’s on 

Brave Bull Creek. 

Frank Carlson and Toni Romero 

added another son to their family 

on the September 10 when Stetson 

Loyd was born to them at Pierre. 

He joins older brothers, Trey and 

Sage. Stetson seems to be doing 

fine. His middle name was also the 

middle name of Frank’s dad, 

Lonny, and spelled the same way 

with only one “L.” Frank attended 

the big horse sale in Philip on Saturday 

and the horse sale in Ft. 

Pierre on Sunday. He came home 

with a two-year-old from Philip, 

and a colt and six-year-old gelding 

from Pierre. Some of the new stock 

is owned in partnership with Joe 

Pavlas. Frank likes to have new 

horses to train and possibly sell 

later on.

Gant: Absentee ballot options 

Registered South Dakota voters 

have the option of absentee voting 

by mail or in person. Secretary of 

State Jason Gant said absentee 

voting opens Friday for the Nov. 6 

General Election. 

“To vote absentee by mail, voters 

must complete an absentee ballot 

application, sign it and either have 

it notarized or provide a copy of 

their photo identification card before 

returning it,” Gant said, 

adding that applications are available 

in the offices of county auditors 

as well as online at sdsos.gov. 

“The auditor will then mail a paper 

ballot to the voter to complete and 

return.” 

Residents may also vote absentee 

in person beginning Sept. 21 by 

visiting the office of their county 

auditor. There they may confirm 

voter registration, complete an application 

for an absentee ballot and 

then vote the ballot and return it to 

the auditor. 

In the case of military and overseas 

voters, applications can be 

transmitted via fax or e-mail as 

well as by postal mail. If the application 

is for a Primary, General or 

other statewide election, uniformed 

and overseas voters may request to 

have their ballots sent to them 

electronically. 

“Our website provides general 

absentee voting guidelines as well 

as a Military and Overseas Citizens 

section, which offers specific 

step-by-step instructions,” Gant 

said. “Voters can also check their 

registration status online at 

sdsos.gov through the Voter Information 

Portal, which is a tool allowing 

voters to view a sample of 

their ballots and check on polling 

locations.” 

Applications can be returned at 

any time, but absentee voting begins 

46 days prior to an election. In 

South Dakota, election officials 

must receive applications for absentee 

ballots no later than 3 p.m. 

on Election Day. Once an absentee 

ballot is completed, a voter may return 

it to the county auditor in person 

or by mail. 

A qualified voter who is confined 

due to sickness or disability may 

apply in writing for an absentee 

ballot via authorized messenger. 

An authorized messenger delivers 

the ballot from the election official 

to the qualified voter and then returns 

the marked ballot. 

Breakdown of absentee voting in 

South Dakota: 

1. Verify status as registered 

voter in South Dakota (register to 

vote or update registration through 

county auditor if needed; registration 

deadline is 15 days prior to an 

election). 

2. Obtain absentee ballot application 

from County Auditor or online. 

3. Fill out application, sign and 

have notarized or provide copy of a 

photo identification card (ID requirement 

waived only for overseas 

voters). 

4. Return application in person, 

via authorized messenger or by 

mail (uniformed and overseas voters 

may also submit applications 

by fax or e-mail). 

5. Fill out absentee ballot upon 

receipt and return to election official 

in person, via authorized messenger 

or by mail.

City approves ordinance, 

heating system for shop 

~ by Ronda Dennis ~ 

The Kadoka City Council held a 

special meeting Monday, September 

24. Council members Micki 

Word and Brad Jorgensen were absent. 

The council held the second 

reading of the 2013 Budget Appropriation 

Ordinance. A motion carried 

to approve the ordinance as 

presented. 

A new heating system at the city 

shop was again discussed. It was 

noted that the wiring and trenching 

was included in the price 

quotes. The total bill is $5,680. A 

motion carried to transfer that 

amount from the contingency fund 

to the street department building 

improvement fund. 

There was discussion on the 

baseball field improvements, including 

the quotes for materials for 

bleachers, dugouts and a new 

fence. At this time. there are no 

plans to work on the concession 

stand or the crows nest. 

According to the finance officer, 

there is money in the budget to 

help with the project. She said materials 

need to be purchased this 

year. In addition to the city, Horizons 

and the Kadoka American Legion 

may be helping with funding. 

Jackie Stilwell presented a review 

of the expenses, revenue and 

water loss for the years 2010 and 

2011, which showed there was a 

water loss in the amount of 

$24,804. It was noted that an increase 

of 50¢ per 1,000 gallons 

would have made the water fund 

account break even for the past 

two-year period. 

The council will review the information 

and discussion will continue 

at another meeting. 

The fire alarm system, through 

West Plains Engineering, for the 

Kadoka City Auditorium was discussed. 

The project will come in 

under the biddable amount, which 

is $50,000. The cost, estimated to 

be approximately $27,000, for the 

installation and other issues will be 

discussed at the next meeting. 

The City of Kadoka received correspondence 

from West Central 

Electric, stating they had reviewed 

the small and large commercial 

rates and have found that Kadoka 

has two, three-phase accounts 

which need to be changed. The 

change rate will be approximately 

$7 to $10 per month for the softball 

field and the auditorium. 

At last month’s city council 

meeting is was decided to leave the 

regular meeting for October on the 

the 8th, which is Columbus Day. 

However, since then, the school has 

scheduled a public hearing to discuss 

a possible building project of a 

gym. The city changed their next 

meeting date to Tuesday, October 9 

at 7:00 p.m.

This & That … September 27, 2012 • Kadoka Press • Page 5 

Wind-driven fire burns 2,465 acres, miles of fence, tons of hay 

Smoke-filled air … The smoke rolls over the hillside toward the 

home of Flavia Stotts on Wednesday, September 19. She also lost an abandon 

place on her land. 

Barn went up in smoke … The barn that was once by the tall 

tree was destroyed in the fire, along with a number of other items in the 

back, including a fuel tank. 

Fire jumps the highway … and headed for the home of Brad 

and Shawna Roghair south of the highway. 

Fire threatens five residences 

The aftermath … leading into the Brad Roghair residence. The 

next day their daughter said, “It was by the grace of God that we didn’t 

lose everything.” 

Lending a hand … Baxter Badure drives the pickup while Cole 

Hindman sprays the fire from the back. These guys were just two of many 

who took personal units to the fire; they were not the only crew using 

homemade fire units made by Scott Bauman. 

North of Bork’s … this dam diverted the fire toward the southeast, 

forcing the fire around the home place of Herman and Jewell Bork. They 

lost fences, bales and winter grazing pastures. 

And here’s where it started … A truck with a load of round 

bales, traveling south on a gravel road, ignited three fires, which resulted 

in at least 16 fire departments responding, and many other individuals, 

to help extinguish the fires on Wednesday. This was the scene over the 

hill north of Herman and Jewell Borks’. 

--by Karlee Barnes 

Murdo Coiyote 

Wednesday, September 19 at 

4:30 p.m. a semi hauling hay north 

of Exit 177 started on fire, resulting 

in a blaze that destroyed 2,465 

acres of land. 

The fire threatened five different 

residences between Exit 177 

and Okaton, both north and south 

of Interstate 90. 

Although no residences were 

damaged, one shop building near 

the Flavia Stotts home was destroyed, 

as well as the abandoned 

“Stickler Place,” owned by Raymond 

Stotts. 

According to Jones County 

Deputy Sheriff and Murdo Fire 

Cheif Rich Sylva, a semi carrying 

Fire Photos 

by 

Ronda Dennis 

bales accidentally ignited the load 

of bales, then proceeded to drive 

two miles down the road towards 

the Interstate, spreading the fire as 

it went. Sylva said it is unclear as 

to how the bales actually started on 

fire. 

The blaze swept through the 

Herman Bork place, taking with it 

382 hay bales, as well as destroying 

winter grazing pastures and approximately 

7.6 miles of fence. To 

make matters worse, a good portion 

of that fence was new. 

After making its way through 

the Bork’s, the fire jumped the Interstate 

and threatened both 

Flavia Stotts’ residence, as well as 

the residence of Nathan and Sherri 

Vander Schaaf. A little further 

south, Brad and Shawna Roghair’s 

place was also in danger. 

With a strong wind blowing the 

fire south, Flavia Stotts knew she 

had to do something, as the firemen 

had not yet arrived at her 

house. 

With garden hose in hand, she 

was determined to saturate her dry 

yard around her house and 

propane tank. 

“Whether that stopped the fire 

or not, I don’t know. I could see 

where the firemen had sprayed the 

north side of the house.” 

Stotts said she took her car and 

drove east to be out of the way of 

the fire. 

“Marty Roghair drove over to report 

to me that my barn had gone 

with the fire,” said Stotts. 

The fire came within yards of 

her house and destroyed her barn, 

but the firemen were able to keep 

the damage to only that. 

Straight south of Stotts’ house, 

the Brad and Shawna Roghair 

place was in danger. Clarice 

Roghair reported that Bob Roghair 

drove over with his tractor and 

disk, turning up ground to stop the 

fire from advancing any closer to 

the Roghair home. 

The Vander Schaaf’s have been 

threatened by fire more than once 

this summer. The first time, a fire 

started in the east bound lane of 

Interstate 90, and spread up a 

draw towards their home. 

This time, the fire spread even 

further, coming within less than 

100 yards of their home. Sherri 

Vander Schaaf said that the fire 

has flared up near their house 

twice since Wednesday. 

Sylva reported that the Murdo 

Kadoka Volunteer Fire Department … Dale Christensen (L) runs the tender during the fire 

Wednesday afternoon, continually refilling any fire-fighting units in need of water. He had just refilled the unit 

of Luke Carlson’s when a Kadoka truck manned by Fire Chief David Johnson (R) and past chief Rich Bendt arrived 

for a refill. Bendt said flames were shooting over 20 feet high. Kadoka had all of their units at the fire, including 

the Suburban, which was used to transport water and sandwiches to the crews fighting the fire. 

Fire Department stayed on the 

scene of the fire over night on September 

19, and has been back 

every day to monitor and wet down 

hot spots as needed. 

Sixteen fire departments responded 

to the fire, including: 

Murdo, Draper, Belvidere, Kadoka, 

Midland, Philip, Ft. Pierre, Four 

Corners, Wood, White River, Vivian, 

Presho, Kennebec and Reliance, 

as well as the U.S. Forest 

Service National Grasslands stationed 

in Ft. Pierre and B.I.A. from 

Rosebud. The departments were 

assisted by many neighbors who 

drove personal fire fighting rigs. 

In addition to other departments, 

Sylva reported that many 

other services assisted with the 

fire. They include: Jones County 

Sheriff, Jones County Ambulance, 

SD Highway Patrol, Pierre Police 

Department, State Radio Communications 

Rapid City, SD Department 

of Transportation, SD Office 

of Emergency Management, Great 

Plains Dispatch, West Central 

Electric and Jackson County Emergency 

Management. 

Dean Nelson from West Central 

Electric reported that 40 powerline 

poles will have to be replaced as a 

result of the fire. He said that nobody 

was out of power for an extended 

amount of time during the 

fire. Pole replacement will continue 

for the next two weeks. 

Sylva estimated that 50-60 fire 

trucks responded, and approximately 

120 firemen. 

“After the fire jumped the Interstate, 

I put a call in to Great Plains 

Dispatch for single engineer air 

tankers, but before the could get 

moralized, we had the fire under 

control,” said Sylva. 

Direct dollar damage reported so 

far for the fire includes, but is not 

limited to: Borks’ fence, the hay lost 

and the buildings that were destroyed. 

Indirect dollar damage includes 

winter grazing pastures 

owned by Borks, and wheat stubble 

fields that provide cover and keep 

moisture in the ground. 

Sylva said, “Thank you for 

everyone who brought food and 

water to the firemen, it really made 

it easier.” 

The Murdo Fire Department has 

responded to approximately 50 

fires so far this year. Eight of those 

include mutual aid calls, in which 

the department is called to help another 

county. Vegetation fires, such 

as grass or wheat, accounted for 25 

of the calls. 

Sylva encouraged everyone to be 

careful when it comes to anything 

that can cause a fire. 

“The season is not done yet,” 

Sylva reminds. 

He said, at this point, rain will 

help, but it will not stop the fire 

season.

Kougars knock out Tigers 

drop to Pine Ridge 

On Thursday, September 22 the 

Lady Kougar volleyball team competed 

in the White River Triangular. 

Kadoka defeated White River 

25-21, 25-21, 25-20. 

Raven Jorgensen was 15/15 

serving with 11 service points and 

3 aces. Shaley Herber had a dominant 

match spiking 20/23 with 13 

kills and 2 blocks. Marti Herber 

and Kwincy Ferguson each added 6 

kills. Taylor Merchen had 12 set assists, 

and Tessa Stout had 7 set assists 

and 6 digs. This was really a 

nice win for us. White River has a 

good team but has just been up and 

down all season. I think this was 

one of the best attacking matches 

we have played all season, and that 

is a good sign, considering it is the 

weakest part of our game. 

Pine Ridge defeated Kadoka 25- 

14, 25-16, 25-18. 

Mariah Pierce was 8/8 serving 

with 4 points and 1 ace. Raven Jorgensen 

was 13/13 spiking with 7 

kills and 5 blocks, and Shaley Herber 

was 8/9 spiking with 6 kills and 

2 blocks. Tessa Stout and Taylor 

Merchen combined for 11 set assists. 

Mariah Pierce had 3 digs. 

This was probably one of our worst 

matches of the year. We were back 

on our heels most of the match and 

just could not get a read on what 

Pine Ridge was doing. They put the 

ball in every corner of the court, 

and we just wasn't ready for it. It 

was good for us though; Pine Ridge 

is a good team, and they exposed 

some of our weaknesses and let us 

know what we need to get better at. 

Pine Ridge JV defeated the 

Kadoka JV 2-0. 

White River JV defeated the 

Kadoka JV 2-1. 

The JV struggled a bit on Thursday 

night after playing so well the 

last few matches; but, they are 

playing with a couple new players 

to the JV, and it will take some 

time to get used to each other. They 

played pretty well against White 

River losing in a close 3 set match. 

Our next match will be in the 

Lead Tournament on Saturday, 

September 29.

KAHS coronation activities 

Kougars face injuries, win 

homecoming game 18-0 

Jones County – 0 

Kadoka Area – 18 

After a great week of homecoming 

activities that included one of 

the best pep rallies I’ve seen, the 

Kadoka Area Kougars football 

team put a nice ending to a fun 

week with an 18-0 victory over the 

Jones County Coyotes. 

The game opened with a 95-yard 

touchdown run on the first play of 

scrimmage by Kenar VanderMay to 

put us up 6-0. 

The game then turned into 

somewhat of a defensive battle. We 

made some mistakes that put us in 

some bad situations, but our defense 

did a great job throughout 

the game of holding off any kind of 

threat from Jones County. 

In the second quarter we had 

some bad luck as Logan Christensen 

went down with a severe 

ankle sprain and Kenar Vander- 

May left the game with a broken 

collar bone. It was very unfortunate 

and our hearts are broken especially 

for Kenar, but our football 

team stepped up and stayed tough 

through all of that adversity. 

Chandlier Sudbeck came in at 

quarterback and threw two touchdown 

passes in the second quarter, 

one to Logan Ammons and one to 

Klay O’Daniel to make the score 

18-0 at halftime. 

I don’t know if gutsy is the right 

word for what Chandlier did for the 

football team as he was nursing a 

hip/back injury, but he was able to 

put the team on his shoulders and 

keep the offense rolling just enough 

to keep the ball away from Jones 

County in the second half. Our 

guys faced a lot of adversity and 

adjustments and they met the challenges 

head on as we were able to 

completely shut down the Coyotes 

offense as our defense held them to 

only 33 total yards. 

The story lines of this game 

were of course the injuries, but the 

way that everyone stepped up and 

made plays, and played smart football 

especially in the second half, to 

get the win and to shut them down 

the way we did, made me very 

proud. Nothing was easy, but they 

rose to the challenge. I also can not 

say enough about the job that Lane 

Patterson did when Chandlier was 

unable to go anymore at quarterback. 

Lane came in, rarely ever 

playing the position, and he milked 

the clock and took care of the ball 

for us in the 4th quarter. 

If ever we needed a bye week it 

is this week. We will take this time 

to heal, and to regroup and get 

ready for White River on October 5. 

We look forward to the challenges 

ahead, and one thing these kids 

have done this year is rise to the occasion 

when they are met with 

challenges. 

We appreciate the entire community 

for their support during our 

2012 homecoming week! Go 

Kougars!

White River. She is a team captain

attitude, hustle in conditioning, 

and her willingness to always learn 

and be coached.

challenge was to complete this without popping the balloon, needless to 

say, not all coaches were successful. 

Chance Knutson 

Football 

Chance doesn’t always have the 

most stats offensively, but he’s a 

huge part of our offense at full back. 

He’s been an excellent lead blocker 

for us for four years now and is an 

integral part of both our running and 

passing game’s success. He’s also 

been a four-year starter on defense. 

He plays linebacker 90% of 

the time, but when needed, he will 

also play some defensive tackle. 

Chance is always willing to do 

whatever is necessary for the team 

and is an outstanding leader on and 

off the field. 

Just a preview of what’s to come … King Clint Stout shows 

his strength that will be turned on against the Jones County Coyotes during 

the homecoming football game by putting the hammer down on the 

car. 

Working together … Klay O’Daniel turns up field, while Logan 

Ammons blocks the defense from moving in.

SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT: Mr. 

Hermann reported that the NAFIS conference 

September 23-25 will be attended 

by he and Dale Christensen. 

School Law seminars will be held in 

Rapid City on October 17 and in Pierre 

on October 24. 

Mr. Hermann reviewed enrollment figures 

as follows: Interior, 50; Kadoka Elementary 

and High School, 242; 

Longvalley, 41; Midland, 16. The enrollment 

is comparable to prior years. 

Kadoka pre-school has 23 students and 

Midland pre-school has 7 students. 

PRINCIPALS’ REPORTS: Mr. Nemecek 

reported that open house and parent 

meetings were held at Midland on August 

27 and at Interior on September 4. Open 

house events are scheduled in Kadoka 

Elementary on September 18, 5:00 – 

6:30 p.m. and Long Valley on September 

27 6:00-7:30 p.m. 

Mr. Seiler reported that the Tardy policy 

is working well and ICU has been implemented. 

The Kadoka high school parent 

night was held on September 11 with approximately 

30 parents and staff members 

in attendance. The tardy policy and 

ICU plan was explained to parents. 

BOARD COMMITTEE REPORTS: 

BUILDING COMMITTEE: Mr. Hermann 

reported that the building committee met. 

The committee held follow up discussion 

on housing needs. The committee also 

discussed the Resolution of Support regarding 

a future building project that was 

adopted by the board last spring. On October 

8 @ 7:00 p.m. a public meeting will 

be held to begin discussion on a possible 

gym project. 

Mr. Hermann informed the board that the 

windows on the west side of the elementary 

wing will be installed on Friday. He 

also reported that during the high temperature 

days, there were problems in 

the Kadoka building with the electrical 

load tripping breakers. Brant’s Electric 

will be installing a new breaker box on 

Friday. 

POLICY COMMITTEE: Mr. Hermann reported 

that the policy committee met. 

They reviewed policies on long term sub 

rate and clarified that those staff members 

who will receive free activities 

passes are the coaches, administration, 

workers and staff members who do ticket 

duty for two games or activites. Activity 

bus driver pay rate was also reviewed 

but should be addressed in the negotiated 

agreement; It was decided that 

staffing for class sizes and numbers of 

grade levels should remain as recommendations 

by the administration. 

CITIZEN’S INPUT: Tasha Peters questioned 

if the ICU is replacing Friday tutoring. 

Mr. Seiler responded that it is in 

addition to Friday tutoring; ICU will be 

twice per month and Friday tutoring is 

weekly. 

Tasha Peters also questioned the operation 

of the concession stand and if it will 

be offered to the Junior Class first before 

offering to other groups. She expressed 

concerns regarding the Senior Class of 

2013 having enough funds for their senior 

activities. Colby Shuck stated that 

other groups needing to raise funds may 

contact him and schedule activities that 

they would like to work for fund raising 

needs. 

Mr. Seiler noted that a group of senior 

parents have asked that graduation 

gowns from past seniors be donated 

back to the school to be re-used. 

BUDGET: Ken Lensegrav moved to 

adopt Resolution #36-01-0912 as follows: 

Let it be resolved, that the School Board 

of the Kadoka Area School District, after 

duly considering the proposed budget

Matching the 

Cropping System to 

Water Availability 

2012 will certainly go down in 

the record books as one of the driest 

growing seasons in history, and 

has also proven to be very educational. 

Granted, that may optimistic. 

It became obvious early in the 

summer that some crop sequences 

like corn following corn, soybeans, 

alfalfa or sunflower were much 

shorter on soil moisture than others. 

No-till fields seemed to withstand 

the drought better than 

tilled fields. Even within fields, 

large differences were seen in how 

well the crops handled the 

drought, reflecting changes in soil 

types and the water holding capacity 

of them. 

As you look ahead to the 2013 

growing season and beyond, if you 

planted a crop that failed in 2012, 

that may not necessarily be a bad 

thing. That may sound easy to say 

when you don’t farm, but if you 

farm in such a way that a crop 

never fails due to drought, you will 

not take full advantage of a good 

year. 

Regardless of your farming 

technique, good crop rotations 

have many benefits; including 

making the best use of the rainfall 

you receive. Producers in dry areas 

should strive for a mix of high and 

low water-use crops. Producers in 

better rainfall areas will include 

more high-use crops. 

A good rotation has diversity in 

plant types, planting dates, and 

harvest periods. This diversity 

spreads workloads and decreases 

insect, disease, and weed pressure. 

Crop rotations also have varying 

levels of water use intensity. 

Dwayne Beck, Manager of the 

Dakota Lakes Research Farm, has 

done some example calculations on 

both the diversity and intensity of 

a variety of crop rotations, and has 

the document available at: 

http://www.dakotalakes.com/Publications/DI_Sample_Calculations.p 

df. The proper water use intensity 

will vary from one area to another. 

The key is to make use of the rainfall 

you receive. As Dwayne Beck 

says, when a crop fails, that’s what 

crop insurance is for. 

Nitrate Testing Summary 

We were able to summarize a 

large number of Nitrate test results 

from the 2002 and 2006 

droughts, due to the cooperation of 

the Olson Biochemistry Lab at 

SDSU. With the closing of that lab 

in the fall of 2011, that resource is 

no longer available, but one of the 

private labs recently provided a 

summary of the Nitrate tests they 

have analyzed to date. 

SGS Labs, of Brookings, SD, 

provided analysis of a number of 

corn, corn silage, corn stalks, alfalfa 

hay, grass hay mix, lambsquarter 

(weed), oat forage, oat 

hay, and sorghum/sudan grass 

samples from June 28 – September 

4, 2012. The samples came largely 

from South Dakota, with some 

from Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. 

The majority of the samples 

came from southeastern and 

southern South Dakota, and the 

bordering parts of the other states. 

The highest level of Nitrate 

their analysis found was 1.14%, 

which is well over 2 times the level 

that is considered safe to feed, 

even when mixed with safer feedstuffs. 

The average level was 

0.15%, which is at the upper limit 

of safe to feed to non-pregnant animals, 

and recommended to be limited 

to 50% of the ration for 

pregnant animals. The median 

level, which is the numerical value 

separating the higher half of the 

samples from the lower half of the 

samples, was 0.10%, which is safe 

to feed to all animals if adequate 

feed and water are available. 

Any of the labs will continue to 

test forages for Nitrates.
