Church Page … September 27, 2012 • Kadoka Press • Page 2 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 the Elderly Monday, October 1 Cheeseburger pie, broccoli, muffin, and berry fruit dessert. Tuesday, October 2 Barbecue beef, baked potato, mixed vegetable, dinner roll, and pears. Wednesday, October 3 Fish portion on a bun with lettuce, macaroni salad, baked beans, juice, and peaches. Thursday, October 4 Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, seasoned green beans, bread, and tropical fruit. Friday, October 5 Vegetable beef soup, meat sandwich, mandarin oranges, and cookie. 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.

Rick Holm, M.D., Medical Editor 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.

Belvidere News … September 20, 2012 • Kadoka Press • Page 3 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 Syd Iwan • 344-2547 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. “More truth is found in digging for facts than jumping to conclusions.” Capsule Sermons Jan Rasmussen, Amy Lehman, Dawn Rasmussen, and Kevin and Kris Hachmeister all traveled to Minneapolis, MN, recently to enjoy time with Lewis Hachmeister, Cam and Paul Rogers, Mary Hansen, Dawn’s parents and her son, Jesse, and his son, Brandon, of Minneapolis and Jan Northrup, who came from New York to meet with them there. Wednesday Dawn and her folks left for Custer and the arts festival and other activities connected with the Buffalo roundup, while Kevin and Kris also headed back home. Jan and Amy left Friday, stopping in Brookings to visit Jason on the way home. Blake Lehman kept them up to date on the exciting homecoming game with its double overtime between New Underwood and White River as they motored home. Kevin and Kris are preparing for their move to Vancouver, Canada, where Kevin’s engineering job is taking him. Last Monday Twila Trask, her sister and her niece visited Maxine Allard. Thursday June Ring made a brief stop and delivery at Cliff and Pam Allard’s and then continued on to visit with Maxine and have lunch with her. Saturday morning Stan, Ivy and Sharon Allard arrived for a visit with Maxine, stayed to have lunch with her, and left again in the afternoon for their homes in Rapid City and Spearfish. Sunday, September 16, Rodney and Cora Lookabill and Dennis and Sena Lauritsen visited at the Jean Kary home, comparing notes on collecting antiques. Wednesday Jean rode in with June and Jessie Ring to donate blood in White River. Then it was back into White River again on Friday for the Mellette County Cattlewomen meeting. Jean was hostess and served a ‘Cowboy Lunch’ to Rose West and library helper Kim, June Ring, Morgan Taft and Donna Adrian. Rev. Glenn Denke was in Pierre September 11 for the Circuit Pastors’ Conference. On the 14th he 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.
