KCBA to hold next meeting 

March 14 at Club 27 

~ by Ronda Dennis ~ 

The Kadoka Community Betterment 

Association met on Thursday, 

February 7 at Jigger’s Restaurant 

with 15 members in attendance. 

Treasurer Cindy Wilmarth said 

KCBA has a checking account balance 

of $1,550.01. 

Two bills were approved for payment: 

People’s Market, $1,224.74 

for the Christmas promotion and 

the Kadoka Press, $120 for advertising. 

Under old business it was noted 

that the sign west of town has been 

replaced, however, the bottom banner 

has not been updated. 

Bob Fugate said Mid States 

Audio will be in Kadoka on Tuesday, 

February 12 to access the 

speaker system. 

Mayola Horst and Kelly O’Connell 

addressed the members and 

discussed the upcoming Rangeland 

Days which will be held in Kadoka 

on June 25 and 26. 

Mayola said the event will draw 

approximately 120-130 people into 

town during this time. 

In addition to the event being 

based out of the Kadoka City Auditorium 

and annex, some of the 

class rooms at the school will be 

used as well. 

Set up will begin on the 24th, 

registration and practice (in the 

field) will be on the 25th and the 

final competition will be on the 

26th. Competitors will either be in 

soil judging or range plant ID with 

three to four on a team and there 

will also be individual event. 

Rangeland Days will be hosted 

by the Jackson County and Haakon 

County Conservation Districts, the 

SDSU Cooperative Extension Service 

and Natural Resources Conservation 

Service. 

Secretary Patty Ulmen provided 

handouts showing the KCBA funding 

sources. It included a breakdown 

of which bills are paid for 

from membership dues money 

and/or the 3B’s money. 

Ulmen suggested KCBA address 

their policy regarding booths during 

the homecoming pancake supper 

and Christmas promotions. It 

has been discussed in the past that 

these functions are held to show 

KCBA’s appreciation and give back 

to the community. She asked that 

something be in the minutes showing 

their policy. 

A motion was made and passed 

with a full vote that no one will be 

allowed to hold fundraisers or have 

booths selling items during the two 

events. The only exception would 

be if a group wants to sell a meal 

before or after (not during) the 

Christmas promotion. 

A motion was made and carried 

to have the Kountry Kousins 4-H 

Club be in charge of the annual 

Easter egg hunt again this year. 

KCBA pays for the eggs and candy 

and also gives the 4-H club $75 for 

their work. 

Sarah VanderMay and Belinda 

Mitchell addressed a new possible 

business recognition idea. The promotion 

would be designed to bring 

a group of people together to support 

local businesses. There was no 

action taken. 

Invitations will be sent out to 

area businesses issuing an special 

invite to the next meeting which 

will be held at Club 27, 6:30 p.m. 

on Thursday, March 14. Everyone 

is invited to attend. 

Bonenberger, vice chair on 

Board of Pardons & Paroles 

Kay Nikolas of Sisseton was 

elected to serve as chair of the 

Board of Pardons and Paroles during 

the Board’s meeting in January. 

Keith Bonenberger of Kadoka 

was elected to serve as vice-chair. 

Nikolas replaces Dave Nelson of 

Sioux Falls as chair, a position Nelson 

held for two years. 

“I want to thank Dave Nelson 

for his leadership of the Parole 

Board over the past two years and 

his continued service on the 

Board,” said Secretary of Corrections 

Denny Kaemingk. “Dave represented 

the Board on the Criminal 

Justice Initiative work group and 

will provide valuable insight to 

other Board members as changes 

to the parole system take shape.” 

The board consists of nine members, 

with the Governor, Chief Jus- 

tice of the South Dakota Supreme 

Court and the Attorney General 

each appointing three members. 

One of the appointees by each authority 

must be an attorney. 

Nikolas was appointed to the 

board by the Chief Justice in 2009. 

Bonenberger was a 2008 appointment 

by the Attorney General. 

The board conducts hearings 

and takes action on inmate petitions 

for parole and makes recommendations 

to the Governor on 

requests for clemency. The board is 

administered under the jurisdiction 

and direction of the Department 

of Corrections but retains 

quasi-judicial, quasi-legislative, advisory 

and other non-administrative 

functions independent of the 

Department of Corrections.

DOT on the 

snow removal 

In the wake of recent snow 

storms, the South Dakota Department 

of Transportation is reminding 

residents that it’s unlawful to 

shovel, blow or dump snow on state 

highway rights-of-way. 

“Piling snow onto the highway 

right-of-way can create safety concerns 

for motorists,” says state 

Transportation Department Public 

Information Officer Kristi Sandal. 

“Snow piles can restrict sight distance, 

as well as present extreme 

hazards for vehicles that run off 

roads. Snow piles adjacent to roads 

may also cause additional drifting 

and visibility issues for travelers.” 

Sandal says snow dumped onto 

the right-of-way also creates problems 

for crews trying to clear highways. 

It is the policy of the state Transportation 

Department to remove 

snow that may be a safety hazard 

when piled on the highway rightof-way. 

Violators face Class 1 misdemeanors, 

which carry maximum 

penalties of one year in jail and 

$2,000 fines. 

Winter weather … and icy roads made it difficult to travel on Saturday, February 9. On Sunday, Febraury 

10 blizzard conditions continued across the state and resulted in I-90 being closed from Wall to Sioux Falls. On 

the west edge of Kadoka, this truck slid off the interstate and into the median. There were several other reports 

of vehicles sliding off the road.

City tables bids for fire alarm system 

~ by Ronda Dennis ~ 

Mayor Harry Weller called the 

Kadoka City Council meeting on 

Monday, Feb. 11 to order at 7:00 

p.m. Council members present included 

Ryan Willert, Kieth Prang, 

Colby Shuck and Brad Jorgensen. 

The minutes from the Jan. 14 

meeting, bills and the finance report 

were all approved. 

Mayor Weller opened the two 

bids received for the auditorium 

Fire Alarm System. 

Muth Electric of Mitchell bid 

came in at $47,192 and Swiftec, 

Inc. of Rapid City bid $60,278. 

The city has $43,876.80 in the 

capitol project fund. However, 

when adding the lowest bid to what 

is still owed to the engineer, there 

is a shortage of $8,435.20. It was 

noted that the fire marshal says 

the facility of the size of the auditorium 

needs to have a pull-type 

Legislative short takes from 

the State Capitol in Pierre 

By Elizabeth “Sam” Grosz 

Community News Service 

Here’s a brief review of some of 

the S.D. Legislature’s recent action. 

•Veterans seeking legislative 

sanction of establishing a veterans 

cemetery in Eastern South Dakota 

were disappointed by the House 

State Affairs Committee, which 

voted Feb. 6 to kill it. Rep. Stace 

Nelson, along with various state 

veterans’ organizations, asked for 

the authority to acquire 50 acres of 

land along the I-90 corridor, promising 

to raise the money on their 

own. The Department of Veterans 

Affairs objected, noting there currently 

are cemeteries in Sturgis, 

and soon to be in Pine Ridge and 

Mission. 

•Restoring state salary assistance 

to the county’s veterans service 

officers received initial approval 

Feb. 6 from House State Affairs 

and was sent to the House floor 

with a unanimous vote. The annual 

$168,000 was cut two years ago 

during the state’s budget crunch. 

With HB1249, counties would be 

able to request reimbursement for 

some costs associated with the 

VSO. 

•Efforts to give voters another 

chance to change terms for legislators 

were addressed by the Senate 

State Affairs Committee resulted 

in one plan given the nod, the other 

sent to the 41st day, or killed. The 

full Senate will discuss SJR1, 

which changes the length of the 

current two-year terms to four. 

Killed was a proposal to limit legislators 

to no more than eight years 

fire alarm system. 

A motion carried to table the 

bids and do more research. 

Jackie Stilwell said she had contacted 

T&K Rentals to reserve a 

60’x90’ tent for reunion weekend. 

Under the water and sewer report 

it was noted that the contract 

with Maguire Iron (for work on the 

water tower) was signed and sent 

back. 

The council looked at two advertisements 

for bids for summer 

street projects. This would include 

milling and asphalt for the 6th Avenue 

improvement project and 

some patching. The main project is 

along the west side of the Kadoka 

Nursing Home and in front of the 

facility. 

A motion carried to advertise for 

bids on the projects. 

There was no solid waste report. 

City Bar Manager JoBeth Uhlir 

said she is still running Bingo and 

poker nights. In addition she would 

in each house, served consecutively. 

Sen. Bill Van Gerpen, R-Tyndall, 

said he was surprised SJR4 was 

not given a Senate floor hearing, 

when voters have expressed their 

support for term limits. 

•A bill to permit counties and 

townships to levy a capital improvement 

property tax for highways, 

secondary roads, bridges, 

and culverts passed through the 

House Taxation Committee and is 

expected to be heard in the House 

this week. Counties could levy $1 

per thousand, while townships 

could levy half that. HB1189 would 

be an option where needed, it was 

noted. 

•Democrats are seeking to work 

with Republicans on economic development 

this year. Sen. Jason 

Frerichs, D-Wilmot, said in a recent 

news conference that “infrastructure 

seems to be the biggest 

stumbling block” to economic development. 

That would include improvements 

for roads, water and 

sewer and broadband service. 

Housing, he said, also goes hand in 

hand for economic development. 

•Republicans leader Larry Rhoden, 

Union Center Senator, said he 

has introduced a bill that would 

provide a vehicle for conversation 

of K-12 funding, that any increase 

would go to the state’s funding effort. 

He said 30 senators and 48 

house members had co-signed the 

bill. “It appears there is a lot of 

support to have that conversation,” 

said Rhoden in a Thursday news 

conference. 

•A standing-room-only meeting 

like to have karaoke on Saturday, 

March 16 for St. Patrick’s Day. 

Willert said Mayola Horst had 

asked if the city would be willing to 

provide free swimming for the 

Rangeland Days participants on 

June 25. The request was approved. 

Patty Ulmen stated that Mid 

States Audio would be at the city 

auditorium on Feb. 12 to go over 

the sound system. 

Mayor Weller read a letter of 

resignation from Cindy Vander- 

May, who has served as secretary 

of the Planning and Zone Committee 

for the City of Kadoka. Her resignation, 

effective on Feb. 1 was 

approved. 

Willert said the next planning 

and zoning meeting will be held at 

6:00 p.m. on Thursday, Feb.28. He 

asked that the finance office be 

open in order for the commission to 

have access to bigger maps of the 

city. 

of the Senate Ag Committee Feb. 7 

discussed SB148, which would 

have reestablished certain administrative 

rules in the Department 

of Environment and Natural Resources 

relating to underground injection 

control and in situ leach 

mining. After two hours of testimony 

and discussion, the bill was 

sent to the 41st day, effectively 

killing it for this session. 

•Gov. Dennis Daugaard said in 

a Feb. 7 press conference that the 

state’s economic recovery had good 

news and bad news. The good 

news: the recovery was proceeding 

at about the pace projected in December. 

However, the bad news 

was that the news was “not any 

rosier than that,” as it had been in 

several preceding years. 

•Gov. Dennis Daugaard said 

several amendments have been 

made to the School Sentinel bill, 

which has created much discussion. 

He said he doesn’t object to 

the underlying concept of the bill as 

long as safeguards are in place. 

The bill would allow school districts 

to have an armed guard in 

the school for protection of students 

and teachers. 

•The Senate killed a joint physical 

custody bill, SB125, on Feb. 7. 

“This is about children, not about 

spouses,” cautioned Sen. Jean 

Hunhoff, R-Yankton. Sen. Dan Lederman, 

R-Dakota Dunes, noted 

that if it were not the right concept, 

then why had he gotten over 200 e- 

mails wanting it passed. The bill 

failed on a vote of 13 in favor, 21 

against, one absent.

Read John 13:3-16 

Many Christians are discontented and unsettled because 

they fail to understand that true servanthood is 

The Key to Servanthood more than simply coming to church on Sunday; it involves 

pouring one’s life into somebody else’s. Jesus 

demonstrated this when He washed the disciples’ feet in the upper room during the Last Supper. 

The Lord’s example shows us that the key is humility. Unless we are willing to stoop low and get dirty 

in ministering to others, we have missed the point. In addition, a true servant . . . 

• Does not wait to be asked. Nobody requested that Jesus go and wash the disciples’ feet. Just as He 

saw and did what was necessary, a true servant is alert to identify the need and then volunteers to meet 

it. He will quietly go about his service without looking for recognition or reward. He is satisfied and with 

the overwhelming joy that comes by simply giving. 

• Must learn to receive as well as to give. That is often quite difficult for servants. Jesus told His disciples 

that unless they allowed Him to wash their feet, they’d have no part with Him. Peter balked because 

he was too proud to receive such care (v. 8). We must not be so tied to convention or pride that we 

say no to somebody who lovingly desires to “wash our feet.” 

As Jesus’ followers, we should look to Him for our example of servanthood. If God Himself could take 

“the very nature of a servant” (Phil. 2:6-7 NIV) and perform a menial task for His disciples, what excuse 

could we possibly come up with for not serving others?

Norma Jeane Kinsley, age 91, of 

Murdo, S.D., passed away Monday, 

February 4, 2013, at the Philip 

Nursing Home. 

Norma Jeane Ernst was born 

August 5, 1921, at her parents’ 

farm south of Draper, the daughter 

of Adolph and Florence (Cahill) 

Ernst. She attended Dunkel grade 

school and, as was common then, 

she skipped one of the lower 

grades. She graduated from 

Draper High School in 1938. She 

then attended St. John’s McNamara 

School of Nursing in Rapid 

City and became a registered 

nurse. Part of her training was in 

Milwaukee, Wis. 

After working a short time at 

the Murdo Hospital, she married 

the love of her life, Densel “Fat” 

Kinsley on June 25, 1943, an anniversary 

date they shared with 

her parents and Kip and Jean. 

They were loving partners for 52 

years until his death on July 10, 

1995. 

Norma was a devoted wife, 

mother and grandmother. She 

loved being a farm wife, spending 

countless hours tending her garden, 

raising chickens, canning, 

freezing and making truly oldfashioned 

home cooked meals. The 

coffee pot was always on, ready for 

a drop-in visitor and would generally 

be accompanied by a piece of 

pie, cake, cookies or a cinnamon 

roll. She always impressed on her 

children and grandchildren the 

importance of getting an education

and was so very proud of each and 

every one of them. 

In her empty nest years she was 

able to accompany Fat on some 

REA trips, bus tours and visits to 

kids and grandkids. She also had 

time for her quilting and embroidery. 

Each grandchild was blessed 

with a quilt at their high school 

graduation. She made many, many 

quilts, laprobes, baby quilts, dish 

towels, and wall hangings. 

She was baptized and confirmed 

in the Missouri Synod Lutheran 

Church and was a lifelong devout 

member and was active in the 

Mary and Martha Society. She also 

took part in 4-H, Bible study and 

choir. 

She was blessed throughout her 

life with many wonderful relationships 

– three of the most special 

being her Aunt Maude and her 

friends, Delphine Kruse and Margaret 

Rankin. Norma and Margaret 

were loyal volunteers at 

Hospice Thrift Store. 

Thanks to the devoted care of 

her family, she was able to stay in 

her own home until November of 

2011 when she moved into the 

Philip Nursing Home.

Letter to 

the Editor 

Letter to the editor, 

Country-of Origin Labeling 

(COOL) provides valuable information 

about the origin of the food we 

purchase for our families. I am glad 

that Senator Johnson and Senator 

Thune, along with 29 United 

States Senators, signed onto a bipartisan 

letter to USDA and the 

US Trade Representative to keep 

COOL requirements in place. Because 

Congress passed COOL, we 

now have a legal right to know the 

origin of our food. This makes good, 

common sense. Unfortunately, the 

World Trade Organization (WTO) 

is trying to force the United States 

to weaken our COOL law. Thanks 

to Senator Johnson and Senator 

Thune for reaching across the aisle 

to defend COOL against the WTO's 

attack.

Lookin’ Around 

by Syd Iwan 

I think my electronic indoor/outdoor 

thermometer is dyslexic. 

That’s one explanation, anyway, 

for it reading 82 degrees as the 

high temperature the other day. It 

had been a warmish day for February 

and did get up to 52, but 82 

in early February in South Dakota 

is so improbable that it would have 

made the national news had it actually 

happened. When I went to 

record the high for the day in my 

diary as I usually do, I glanced at 

that reading and then looked back 

to make sure I was actually seeing 

what I thought I was. My vision 

was okay which elicited the response, 

“I don’t think so. Most unlikely!” 

All I could figure was that, 

when it was 28 degrees around 

sunrise, the weather-station contraption 

had read it and, in a fit of 

dyslexia, flipped it around to 82. 

Either that or the batteries need to 

be changed. In any event, I 

recorded 52 as the day’s high and 

not 82. 

A lot of information comes our 

way these days that is highly suspicious 

as to accuracy. We’ve just 

been through an election where so 

much rubbish was tossed around 

that a person might be inclined to 

tune out the whole mess. Fairly 

normal, well-intentioned candidates 

were depicted as complete 

fools with the morals of alley cats 

and no redeeming value whatsoever. 

I didn’t agree with the views 

of all the candidates to be sure, but 

it irritated me a lot when they 

were unfairly depicted as the dregs 

of the earth. Dirt was flung right 

and left. “Stick to the facts,” was 

what I wanted to advise. 

The same advice should apply 

to the Internet as well. It gives 

false information the opportunity 

to circle the globe in seconds and 

be accepted by many as gospel. 

Every year, for instance, we get an 

article about the guards at the 

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The 

article tries to depict those guards 

as absolute saints. It states that, 

once a person becomes one of these 

elite sentries, he must never in his 

whole life swear or drink alcohol. 

Wife Corinne worked at the Pentagon 

when she was in the Army and 

knew some of these guys. They 

were dedicated fellows, but they 

weren’t saints. It’s ridiculous to 

even consider that as a possibility. 

I might add that the article that 

makes the rounds does have accurate 

parts when it describes how 

the patrol of the tomb is carried 

out and what various rituals 

mean. Other parts, however, are 

Gullibility 

complete foolishness. 

Most years as well, we get an 

announcement that the planet 

Mars is so close to earth in its orbit 

that it will soon look as big as the 

moon. That will never happen. It 

will never even appear as bright as 

Venus, much less the moon. This 

silliness started way back after 

someone said that Mars would 

look as big as the moon when 

viewed through a telescope at a 

certain magnification. The telescope 

part was unfortunately overlooked 

by those wanting to pass on 

exciting new information. What’s 

more, Mars was only extraordinarily 

close to earth that one time several 

years ago, but the same silly 

article has been resurrected and 

sent again in following years after 

Mars had regressed and was not 

going to be especially close or large 

anytime soon. 

As you know, some obituaries 

could almost be thought of as fairy 

tales when they apply to people 

you know. They often depict someone 

as a completely wonderful person 

when they were dishonest, 

undisciplined, chronically drunk, 

or just generally hard to deal with. 

I’ve read obituaries of people I’ve 

known and thought, “Who are they 

talking about? It certainly isn’t the 

person by that name that I know.” 

Religion is another place where 

errors can abound. It is usually accomplished 

by people trying to 

make the Bible say what they 

want it to say instead of what it actually 

says as taken in context. 

They might also want to make God 

out to be how they think he should 

be instead of how he is. This leads 

to all manner of trouble, confusion 

and outright error. I try to counter 

this by reading the Bible through 

completely every year as I have 

now done for forty years or more. 

It doesn’t mean I can catch every 

wrong thought that people throw 

out, but I can discard a lot of them. 

It is rather the norm for people 

to want to tell interesting or exciting 

facts. That’s a given. As a result, 

it’s our job to consider what 

we hear and only accept information 

as truth when the facts have 

been checked as much as possible. 

Gullibility is not a virtue. As a result, 

when I go to record the high 

temperature for today in my diary, 

I might look at what the thermometer 

says it was, but I won’t 

necessarily accept it as gospel 

without comparing it to my experience 

of the day. Verifying is the 

sensible thing to do concerning any 

information that comes our way. 

We should probably try to keep 

that in mind. 

From Representive Liz May 

We are seeing considerable bills 

coming to the floor from the various 

committee’s. Some bills of interest, 

HB 1123 will appropriate one dollar 

to be deposited in the animal 

damage control fund and five dollars 

shall be deposited in a special 

fund known as the South Dakota 

sportsmen’s access and landowner 

depredation fund. This law and fee 

was already in place and all the 

legislators did was move $1.00 to 

the ADC Program. 

HB 1013 and HB 1015 were 

brought by the Board of Regents. 

HB 1013 was for funds of 

$325,000.00 to construct a multistorage 

facilities at SDSU and HB 

1015 was for remodeling and renovation 

of Medary Commons on the 

campus of SDSU with a cost of 

$2,250,000.00. Both bills passed 

the house with 58 yeas and 10 nays 

and 1 voted nay. The argument of 

one-time dollars should be used to 

fund one-time projects; not ongoing 

costs evades me when our teacher 

pay remains 48th in the nation. 

HB 1128 was a bill to allow certain 

students to participate in the 

Opportunity Scholarship Program. 

This bill arises after a home-school 

student was denied when applying 

for the scholarship. The Dept. of 

Education has a standard criteria 

in place for public school students 

that doesn’t apply for home school 

students. We heard testimony from 

a student attending School of 

Mines in Rapid who received a 30 

ACT score and was denied the 

scholarship. His first cousin who 

was educated through a public 

school and now is attending SDSU 

received the scholarship with a 

ACT score of 24. The Dept. of Education 

came out against this bill. 

The committee voted to send it to 

the floor and it passed on to the 

Senate. Competition by the SD 

Board of Eduction is something 

this agency is trying to avoid by 

limiting who is eligible for the 

scholarship. We need to remember 

that parents of home-school students 

are still paying taxes to fund 

public schools. I think the least the 

state can do is treat them equal regarding 

the scholarship program. 

HB 1126 was brought to repeal 

the massage therapy licensing requirements 

and regulatory board. 

This bill had been deferred from 

the 15th LD while talks were ongoing. 

This bill stems from a 2005 licensee 

requirement and a 

mismanaged board with a high 

turnover. After considerable discussion 

and two lengthy amendments 

it passed on to the Senate. I find it 

amazing that legislature’s are put 

in office to settle disputes of massage 

therapy boards. 

I’d like to report that we are 

passing sweeping legislation that 

improve's our daily lives, but to 

date we have dealt with air, water, 

wildlife and snowmobile tracks for 

motorcycles just to name a few. The 

bills that I thought could make a 

difference, like SB 125 “Shared 

Parenting” did not make it off the 

Senate floor. I encourage everyone 

to stay involved with what is going 

on with your local, state and federal 

governments. 

I enjoyed seeing the Kadoka senior 

government class this week. It 

is very important for our students 

to see the process of law making 

and the impact that it has on the 

citizens of South Dakota.

Clair Bitting and Kolette Struble 

went to Minneapolis on Tuesday 

and came back on Saturday. 

They were there for a follow-up 

visit to the heart work Clair had 

done a bit ago at the VA hospital. 

Doctor appointments were kept 

and tests were done on Wednesday. 

On Thursday, Clair had five and a 

half hours of surgery that involved 

running a catheter through a blood 

vessel from the groin to the heart 

and zapping spots that weren’t 

working just right. Things went 

well, and Clair got out of the hospital 

on Friday. The trip home on 

Saturday was made in time to 

avoid the oncoming storm. Clair 

got a little tired from the whole expedition 

but is now resting up and 

feeling a little better. Kolette said 

the VA is huge with four floors and 

pods everywhere. The traffic in the 

Twin Cities is also a little intense 

for someone from the boonies, and 

she is in no rush to return. The 

trip, however, was successful over 

all. 

Chuck and Merry Willard made 

two trips to Rapid City last week. 

They went on Tuesday for a 

checkup that was a follow-up to 

Chuck’s hip-replacement surgery of 

a while ago. The doctor said things 

were going great, and that Chuck 

didn’t need to come back and see 

him again for five years or so. This 

was fine with Chuck. On Saturday, 

they returned to the city for a tax 

appointment. They shopped a little 

and ran into Marge Iwan and her 

daughter, Barb, plus Barb’s three 

children which include a set of 

twins. They were all shopping at 

Lowe’s at the time. The trip home 

was made fairly early to avoid bad 

roads due to an approaching storm. 

Nikki Bonenberger said they 

didn’t get a lot of snow there, and 

the roads appear to be open since 

Brett and Kade made it back and 

forth to the other place checking 

cattle. The heifers are now mostly 

calved and the cows are just starting. 

Nikki was hoping to get into 

Kadoka on Monday for her normal 

work at the nursing home, but she 

would have to see if the interstate 

reopened. If not, the service road 

might be okay if taken with caution. 

Other staff members were 

having road troubles too so someone 

probably needed to get there. 

Delores Bonenberger is scheduled 

for an appointment with her neurologist 

this coming week, but 

seems to be doing better after the 

mild stroke she suffered several 

weeks ago. A cold came along that 

didn’t help, but it is improving. 

Crystal Paulson didn’t dodge 

very well recently and came down 

with the bug that is currently making 

the rounds. As a result, she is 

not feeling quite up to par and will 

see how things go as to road conditions 

and health before setting off 

south to teach this week. Crystal 

said she usually can get by without 

catching colds and flu, but she was 

not quite so lucky this year. 

Michelle and Aaron Mansfield 

were keeping close tabs on son 

Tyrel on Sunday since he was running 

a fever and not feeling very 

well. The weekend storm and 

Tyrel’s health put a crimp in any 

plans that were being entertained 

for the last few days. School was 

uncertain for Monday. 

Kirby Schofield is scheduled to 

see a doctor in Rapid City on 

Wednesday about his right knee 

that suffered some damage in a 

work-related injury. Nancy, meanwhile, 

is dealing with a broken 

knee cap on her left leg. She said 

they made quite a pair since both 

were limping a bit although on opposite 

sides. 

Church was called off on Sunday 

due to snow, wind and bad roads. 

Most of those who attend come 

from out of town, so bad weather 

and roads cause problems. This is 

already the second time this year 

that church has been cancelled due 

to weather. The same thing happened 

once in both November and 

December of last year as well. It 

seems to be a trend. Rev. McCubbin, 

however, didn’t worry about 

the roads since Ruth and he flew to 

Florida on Saturday for a family reunion 

on Ruth’s side. The weather 

was better in Florida than it was 

here. 

Jo Rodgers said they are getting 

closer to reopening the Belvidere 

Store. They are currently waiting 

for some state inspections of this 

and that before they can go ahead 

with it, but that should happen before 

too long. Jo was scheduled to 

work at the Murdo Post Office on 

Monday and was trying to figure 

exactly how to get there if the interstate 

didn’t reopen early 

enough. 

From Senator Jim Bradford 

We have now completed the fifth 

week of legislative session and the 

days get longer as we approach 

cross over day, which is when all 

bills must be out of their house of 

origin. In the Senate Health and 

Judiciary Committees on which I 

serve, we have been seeing an increase 

of bills to review. 

A piece of legislation which I am 

proud to say was signed this week 

by the Governor was the Criminal 

Justice Initiative. I’ve been involved 

in this from the start and 

worked on a Task Force that was at 

the beginning of a process that has 

led to the adoption of this law. 

This new way of sentencing will 

significantly reduce the number of 

nonviolent offenders being sentenced 

to prison and enable them 

to receive the treatment they need 

for their addiction. This approach 

duplicates successful programs operated 

in other states. In fact, 

South Dakota was one of the last 

states to adopt this type of approach 

which puts the emphasis on 

treatment and rehabilitation, not 

just incarceration. This legislation 

while having some upfront costs for 

more treatment centers and 

trained drug and alcohol treatment 

experts, will in the long run reduce 

the need for millions of dollars of 

investment in prisons. It will keep 

non-violent criminals in their own 

homes and communities and bring 

more treatment to those addicted 

to drugs and alcohol. This is the 

right approach and long overdue. 

I’m proud to say that I was an advocate 

for this from the very beginning, 

testified several times as it 

moved through committees and on 

the floor, and this week witnessed 

the Governor sign it into law. Now 

it’s up to all of us to follow through 

and support its implementation. 

A special briefing for SD Legislators 

on Medicaid Expansion was 

presented by the Council of State 

Government on Feb. 5. The Council 

of State Government is a nonpartisan, 

nonprofit association which 

serves all three branches of state 

government -- judicial, legislative, 

and executive. The speaker was Dr. 

Vern Smith, a nationally known 

health care economist and the former 

Medicaid director in Michigan. 

Dr. Smith was able to relate the experiences 

of other states, some of 

which have expanded Medicaid eligibility 

years before the recent federal 

proposal. In studies which 

reviewed these expansions, people 

were healthier, and less health care 

was obtained in emergency rooms. 

The numbers change often, but to 

date close to half of the states have 

decided to expand Medicaid coverage. 

If our state follows suit, the 

federal government would cover 

100 percent of Medicaid costs for 

the estimated 48,000 newly-eligible 

SD adults for the first three years 

(2014 – 2016). The state’s only expense 

would be a little over a million 

dollars a year for 

administration. The state’s share 

would gradually rise until it 

reached 10 percent of total costs in 

2020. According to South Dakota 

Department of Social Services estimates, 

state residents would receive 

about $2 trillion in medical 

care benefits between 2014 and 

2020. 

Certainly there are some of our 

District 27 folks who work hard at 

jobs but are offered no health insurance 

through their employment. 

These are exactly the individuals 

who will benefit from Medicaid Expansion. 

I will continue to work 

hard to see that SD doesn’t give up 

on our 48,000 working adults without 

health insurance. 

I invite you to contact me with 

your questions and concerns on 

these topics or any of interest to 

you. I may be reached at 605-685- 

4241 or Sen.Bradford@state.sd.us

Capsule Sermons 

The weather this past weekend 

changed a lot of people’s plans. In 

and around this area we didn’t get 

quite so much as forecast, but the 

wind whipped it all around enough 

that many church services and activities 

were cancelled. St. John 

Lutheran Church did hold services, 

as not much snow was falling at 

eight in the morning. However, 

there was more on the ground 

when the service was over and the 

wind was forming it into drifts. 

Sunday, February 3, 2013, 

Noreen Krogman was among those 

at the Horse Creek Community 

Building helping Virginia Barrera 

celebrate her 87th birthday. 

Janice Ring visited her aunt, 

Eunice Krogman, last Friday and 

had dinner with her. 

Blaine and Louann Krogman attended 

the boys’ basketball game in 

Kadoka Monday, February 4. Tuesday 

they were in White River for 

the girls’ basketball game against 

Gregory. Wednesday they received 

the news that Louann’s father had 

fallen and broken a bone; they 

headed for Illinois that evening. 

Hilary, Evan and baby, Nash, accompanied 

them, as this was a 

chance for Louann’s parents to 

meet their new great-grandson. 

The group returned home Saturday. 

They had fair roads most of 

the way, not hitting that thick fog 

until around Draper. 

The previous weekend Hailey 

and Kirby were home. Hailey came 

from Wyoming to attend the baby 

shower for Summer. 

Torey Ring celebrated his birthday 

several days last week. On the 

4th, it was with cake and ice cream 

down at Robert and Sharon’s. Then 

after Debbie came home for a visit 

Friday evening, Torey and the boys 

headed down to Robert’s for another 

birthday feast of Strudla and 

cake. 

Last Tuesday Torey, Linda and 

Tyler Ring worked the concession 

stand for the boys’ basketball game 

at the Long Valley School. Jeremy 

ran the time clock for the games. 

Wednesday Torey and Linda were 

back over to the Long Valley School 

for parent-teacher conferences. Friday 

Torey and the boys met Linda 

in White River, had lunch together 

and then ran some errands. 

Jan Ring hosted St. John LA- 

LWML at her home Thursday, February 

7. Saturday Rueben and Jan 

were in Valentine for the Bull Bash 

and attended the cattle sale, also. 

There will be NAEP testing for 

the 4th graders at Norris School on 

Wednesday. Thursday afternoon 

will be devoted to Valentine parties. 

Friday there is in-servce. 

No school on Monday, the 18th, 

as it is President’s Day, but there 

will be school on Friday of that 

week. 

The dense fog Saturday morning 

caused some problems for Cliff and 

Pam Allard, as they could not locate 

their cows. However, they did 

find them in the afternoon.

Registration deadline for 

Master Gardener training 

This spring SDSU Extension is 

offering a new format for Master 

Gardening training by combining 

eight weeks of online training and 

three day-long sessions of hands 

on-training. Online sessions start 

April 1 and are accessible anywhere 

there is Internet access and 

whenever is convenient for participants 

during the eight weeks. 

The three, day-long, hands-on 

sessions give trainees the opportunity 

to learn skills such as pruning 

along with plant and insect identification 

by seeing and doing. 

Participants will be able to 

choose from five locations for their 

hands-on training: McCrory Gardens 

in Brookings or the SDSU Extension 

Regional Centers in 

Aberdeen, Pierre, Rapid City and 

Yankton. 

Master Gardeners work in their 

community to promote and teach 

gardening. Opportunities include 

writing articles, giving talks, working 

at fair booths, helping in com- 

munity and school gardens, teaching 

and answering garden questions. 

The training gives a 

well-rounded education preparing 

them to help their communities. In 

2012 Master Gardeners contributed 

more than 9,000 hours, 

worth $140,400 to our communities. 

Training costs, along with 50 

hours of volunteer payback during 

the first two years after training 

applies. Application forms and 

schedules can be found at 

iGrow.org/gardens/gardening, then

Residents of the Month: 

Mary Bull Bear was chosen as 

our November resident of the 

month. She has lived here at KNH 

since June 24, 2011. She was honored 

with an article of her life and 

her picture in the Kadoka Press. 

Mary enjoys coming down to devotions, 

current events and fitness. 

She likes to play kickball, but has 

a hard time kicking it hard enough 

at times. She always takes pride in 

her looks. She enjoys being pampered 

by polishing her nails, dress- 

ing her in something she likes to 

wear, and she always has some nice 

smelling perfume or lotion on. 

Mary’s favorite meal is chicken, 

mashed potatoes and gravy, corn 

and cake. She shared this with the 

rest of the residents and all seemed 

to like what was being served. 

For her meal with her family she 

chose the same as above. As her 

guests, Mary invited her daughter, 

Mary, and granddaughters, Mary 

and Tammy, and Amanda, and her 

son, Richard. She was given a balloon 

bouquet and a bottle of perfume, 

in which she expressed her 

gratitude. Mary is well liked here 

at KNH and her bubbly personality 

adds the finishing touch to her. 

Thank you Mary for being such 

a great resident! 

Harold Schnee was chosen as 

our December resident of the 

month. Harold came here to KNH 

to live on August 2, 2011. Haroldwas 

featured in the Kadoka Press, 

along with his picture hung in the 

front lobby. 

Harold’s wife played a very important 

part in his daily activities. 

She came at least one to three 

times every day, when she was in 

town and helped get him ready for 

the day and would also help get 

him ready for bed in the evening. 

Harold liked coming down for 

the fitness group and enjoyed 

church services. He enjoyed visiting 

with his roommate, Bob Tridle. 

Before we could have the family/resident 

meal Harold, unfortunately 

he passed away on Dec. 5, 

2012. 

We were all very much blessed 

to have known and to have Harold 

as a friend. 

Betty VanderMay was chosen 

as our February 2013 resident of 

the month. Betty came into our facility 

on September 15, 2011. She 

was honored by printing an article 

in the Kadoka Press of her life long 

story and then having her picture 

and article posted in the main 

lobby. 

Betty enjoys going to devotions 

and fitness in the mornings, and always 

comes out for Mass with Father 

Bryan and singing with Lois 

Pettyjohn on Mondays. 

Betty received a few gift tokens 

that included lotion, candy and 

some personal items. She enjoys 

visitors and is still involved with 

the KNH board even though she 

stepped down from her position. 

Betty emjoyed her resident of 

the month meal. Everyone cleaned 

up their plates! Everyone was so 

kind and really enjoyed the meal 

and their time with Betty. Congratulations 

Betty you are the best! 

Robert (Bob) Tridle was chosen 

to be our resident of the month 

for January 2013. He came to join 

our facility on August 9, 2011. His 

picture was taken and printed in 

the Kadoka Press and then a copy 

was posted in the front lobby. 

Bob’s smile tells it all! It is so 

contagious - we love him. 

Bob shared a room with Harold 

Schnee in which they looked out for 

one another and ended up to be 

real good friends! 

Bob has three brothers and one 

sister. His wife, Rose Anna, comes 

and calls quite often from Rapid 

City along with their five children. 

Bob chose a large roast beef dinner 

and topped it off with Cathy's 

homemade pumpkin pie for his resident 

meal of the month. All the 

residents liked their special treat! 

His family meal consisted of roast 

beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, 

creamed corn, rolls and pie. The 

meal went real well and he was 

joined by his five sons, their 

spouses, and his wife, Roseanne. 

We all enjoy having Mr. Bob’s 

presence around us! 

Remember the nursing home 

will be sponsoring a prime rib supper 

on April 20. Watch for more details! 

Stop by and visit us anytime, we 

love the company. 

Diabetes overload … 

How to overcome 

True or False: Many people with 

diabetes are too lazy to manage it 

properly. 

FALSE - According to Dr. Paul 

Rosman, endocrinologist and past 

president of the American Diabetes 

Association’s Ohio Chapter, this is 

not true. 

“The most common approach is 

for people to work very hard at 

managing their diabetes,” says Dr. 

Rosman. “But people don’t understand 

how to categorize diabetes 

data into manageable pieces in 

order to sustain a happy life with 

diabetes. 

Dr. Rosman has identified five 

critical components of successful 

blood glucose management to help 

people with diabetes navigate all 

measurements and data they obtain 

– and avoid diabetes information 

overload. 

1. Know where to start. It’s overwhelming 

to see a sheet of paper 

filled with blood sugar readings. 

Keep things small and manageable 

to stay focused. Start by recognizing 

when you have good numbers. 

2. Use your best to fix the rest. 

It’s easier to extend the good parts 

of the day than it is to fix high and 

low blood sugars after they happen. 

When numbers go from good to 

bad, figure out what happened. 

Was it exercise? Eating more carbohydrates 

than expected? A stressful 

conversation with family (which 

can raise blood sugars quickly)? 

3. Identify roller coaster blood 

sugars. Look for periods when your 

blood sugars go up and down like a 

rollercoaster. What events happened 

to trigger the pattern? If you 

have a low blood sugar followed by 

a high blood sugar, be careful of 

taking too much medicine to treat 

it. Once you have had one low blood

sugar, you are very susceptible to 

another later in the day. 

4. Recognize the warning signs 

of burnout. Excellent blood glucose 

management routines can be sidetracked 

by seemingly small incidents. 

Watch out for scheduled 

changes in life events, like adjusting 

work and sleep schedules, the 

transition between seasons or 

major life events-like holidays, 

weddings, birthdays, etc. These 

things can all derail good management 

and lead to burnout if you are 

not prepared. 

5. Understand your doctor’s 

checklist and articulate your problem/concern 

in his terms. Expectations 

for the outcome of a doctor’s 

appointment are glaringly different 

for a doctor versus a patient. 

Legally, doctors need to meet certain 

standards and even have a 

checklist of things they need to accomplish, 

while the patient is often 

looking for answers or worried 

about disapproval. Tell your doctor 

you know they have a list of things 

to accomplish during your visit, but 

that you also need their help with 

a specific problem. This sets the 

agenda in advance and ensures 

that your needs are also met. 

Patients can access in depth 

course content and take advantage 

of group and one-on-one support by 

registering for “Workshop for Better 

Blood Sugars” at http://university.diabetesdaily.com/. 

Dr. Rosman is available to discuss 

how people with diabetes can 

avoid information overload and instead 

use diabetes data to achieve 

better blood sugars. To schedule an

Take charge of your 

financial future 

Are you ready to take charge of 

your financial future? South 

Dakota Saves is here to help. Feb. 

25 to March 2, 2013 is SDSaves 

week. 

During this week, sponsors aim 

to promote good savings behavior, 

help consumers learn more about 

personal finance issues and suggest 

ways to save. SDSU Extension 

is part of a national coalition spearheading 

the promotion of savings 

across our nation. America Saves is 

a nationwide campaign run by the 

Consumer Federation of America 

that encourages savings among low 

to moderate income households. 

Each year they motivate youth and 

adults to join as a Young America 

Saver on-line and to take action 

during this week by opening or 

adding to an account at a local financial 

institution. This opportunity 

allows people to commit to a 

savings goal and identify specific 

plans to achieve. 

You can enroll as a South 

Dakota Saver at www.southdakotasaves.orgEnrolled 

savers receive 

a newsletter with a variety of savings 

topics. The website has many 

online resources where you can 

learn to save such as building an 

emergency fund, saving for a home, 

education or retirement. 

The campaign encourages people 

to set a savings goal; make a 

plan on how you will save money; 

and learn to save monthly through 

direct deposit or automatic transfer 

from your checking to savings for 

every time you get paid. Maintaining 

an emergency savings account 

should be a top priority for every 

individual and family. It is possible 

to have an emergency fund for all 

Americans, no matter what your 

income is. With an emergency savings 

account you will not deplete 

your savings that is set aside for 

your personal goals. 

There are many places to find 

money to save. Start with loose 

change that you accumulate. Americans 

typically save more than 

$100 in loose change each year. Cut 

back on small, unnecessary expenditures. 

The America Saves website 

lists more than twenty ideas 

for reducing spending. These ideas 

range from packing a lunch, to 

switching from daily lattes to daily 

coffee, to not bouncing checks. 

Saving for an emergency fund 

may be easier if you involve your 

whole family in meeting this challenge. 

By explaining the importance 

to your spouse and children, 

they may even help build the account.

campaign contact Karen Slunecka,

Girls take win from 

Tigers, drop to Colome 

Kadoka 10 27 33 47 

N. Underwood 10 21 31 40 

After losing their last three 

games, the Lady Kougars were 

ready to work for a win. Both 

teams hit the floor running and 

were tied up 10-10 after the first 

quarter. Taylor Merchen and Katie 

Lensegrav put in two baskets and 

Tessa Stout added one basket. We 

stepped up and started hitting 

more shots. Kwincy Ferguson 

made three buckets and two from 

the line, Katie, Tessa and Destiny 

Dale added a basket each and Taylor 

hit a three pointer to give the 

team a 27-21 lead going into half 

time. However, the fouls added up 

for the Kougars as the Lady Tigers 

were in double bonus early in the 

second quarter. Fortunately, for the 

us, the Tigers only shot 10/22 the 

first half. The Kougars came out 

flat the third quarter, with only 

Kwincy, Katie and Raven Jorgensen 

making a basket. This gave 

Kadoka a two-point lead going into 

the third quarter. The fourth quarter 

found both teams picking up 

the intensity. With the intensity, 

came the fouls. The Tigers were 

5/10 from the line in the fourth 

quarter, while the Kougars were 

only 5/16. However, Marti Herber 

made two baskets, Kwincy Ferguson 

one basket and Taylor Merchen 

with a three pointer. This gave the 

Kougars a 47-40 win over the 

Tigers. 

The girls played very tough defense 

and did a good job on their 

press. Kwincy Ferguson led the 

team in scoring with 13 points, followed 

by Taylor Merchen with 11. 

Katie Lensegrav was right behind 

her with 10 points, Marti Herber 

and Tessa Stout with 4, Raven Jorgensen 

added three and Destiny 

Dale, 2. The Kougars were only 

7/23 from the line while the Tigers 

were 21/37. Kadoka ened the game 

with 25 fouls and the Tigers had 

20. 

Kadoka 12 25 42 60 

Colome 8 24 36 62 

The Lady Kougars travelled to 

Colome on Friday, Feb. 8 to take on 

the Lady Cowgirls. The girls were 

coming off a win a few nights before 

and were ready to work for another. 

The Kougars came out the 

first quarter playing strong and at- 

tacking the basket. Taylor Merchen 

hit a three pointer and a basket, 

Katie Lensegrav and Tessa Stout 

each shot a basket, Marti Herber 

two free throws and Kwincy Ferguson 

one free throw. This gave the 

Kougars a 12-8 lead after the first 

quarter. The Cowgirls doubled 

their points the second quarter 

with 10 of their 16 points coming 

off of free throws. The Kougars continued 

attacking the baskset with 

Marti, Taylor and Raven making a 

basket and Kwincy making a basket 

and a free throw and Tessa 

making a basket and both her free 

throws. This put the Kougars 

ahead by only one point going into 

half time. Despite being in foul 

trouble going into the third quarter, 

the Lady Kougars came out 

strong, attacking the basket. Tessa 

Stout shot a three pointer and a 

basket, Kwincy, Marti, Taylor and 

Raven with a basket each and Tori 

Letellier a basket and two free 

throws. This gave the Kougars a 6 

point lead after the third quarter. 

The fourth quarter ended up being 

very intense. Kadoka found themselves 

fouling out one by one, with 

Marti, Katie, Kwincy and Raven 

leaving the game before it was over. 

They played their hearts out to the 

very end, but couldn't make that 

final shot to win the game. Colome 

ended up winning 62-60 in a hardfought 

game. Taylor Merchen and 

Tessa Stout led the Kougars with 

11 points each. Taylor was 2/3 from 

the line and Tessa was 2/2. Tori 

Letellier was right behind them 

with 10 points and was 6/10 from 

the line. Raven Jorgensen added 8 

points and Kwincy and Marti contributed 

6. Kwincy was 2/4 and 

Marti 2/2 from the line. Shaley 

Herber and Katie Lensegrav ended 

the game with 4 points each. 

The Lady Kougars are in their 

last week of regular season, before 

Districts next week. The girls 

travel to Dupree on Tuesday and 

then their last regular home game 

on Thursday against Bennett 

County. Thursday's game will also 

be senior recognition night. The 

seniors are Kwincy Ferguson, 

Marti Herber, Shaley Herber, Katie 

Lensegrav and Tessa Stout. Hope 

to see the fans at the girl's game on 

Thursday! 

Making the shot … Kwincy Ferguson #10 gets the bucket and 

draws the foul against the New Underwood defense.

Donnelly noted the change in 

venue from Philip to Wall worked 

well. “Everyone did a good job 

pitching in,” he said. “Great support 

from all three communites.” 

The Philip Invitational had been 

rescheduled from January 11-12 to 

the one day tournament. Since 

there is no district action this year, 

the date was open for Philip to fit 

in their tournament.

Legislative News … February 14, 2013 • Kadoka Press • Page 9 

‘Social host’ bill defeated 

in Senate committee 



An attempt to set up misdemeanor 

charges for adults who provide 

parties for under-age drinkers 

failed to pass out of the Senate 

State Affairs Committee Jan. 23 at 

the S.D. Legislature in Pierre. 

The measure failed by one vote, 

following sometimes emotional debate, 

but backers vowed to keep 

working on the bill to make it acceptable 

to lawmakers. 

Sen. Larry Lucas, D-Mission, 

said there currently is no definition 

for the term “social host,” but is 

generally agreed that it refers to 

someone who provides the location 

but not necessarily the alcohol for 

a party. 

It is not a defense, said Lucas, 

for the adult to say that he was not 

present at the party. 

Joyce Glynn, West River rancher 

with her husband, Roger, related 

the story of how their son, Michael, 

lost his life following his 2006 high 

school graduation and attending 

the subsequent party where underage 

teens were drinking. 

He died as the result of a one-vehicle 

rollover where he was ejected 

from the car. 

That spring, Glynn said, 13 

other teenagers died under similar 

circumstances. 

President Obama, noted Glynn, 

has said that “the first task of society 

is to keep our children safe.” 

She questioned whether we are 

doing everything possible to do 

that. 

She discussed the three components 

to keep children safe as education, 

legislation and 

enforcement. It is clear, she said, 

that it is illegal for anyone under 

the age of 21 to drink alcohol, and 

called this bill “another tool” to be 

used. 

With 5,894 minors charged with 

possession and 416 misdemeanor 

charges against adults, and 200 f 

those dismissed, Glynn said “we 

are sending a bad message to kids.” 

Glynn said the Attorney General’s 

office has voiced its support 

for the bill, as well as the South 

Dakota States Attorneys Association. 

Supporting testimony came 

from the Concerned Women of 

South Dakota. 

However, the bill’s current language 

was criticized by the State 

Farm Insurance Company lobbyist 

Dick Tieszen, and Roger 

Tellinghuisen, lobbyist for S.D. 

Trial Lawyers Association, as well 

as several members of the committee. 

Sen. Corey Brown, R-Gettysburg, 

questioned whether that one 

additional law would have changed 

anything that happened the night 

that Glynn’s son died. 

Sen. Larry Rhoden, R-Union 

Center, also questioned whether 

the law would be effective. 

The bill died 5-4 and was moved 

to the 41st day. 

After the meeting, Glynn said “I 

really thought with the State’s Attorney 

Association and the Attorney 

Generals’ Association, the 

people who have to enforce these 

laws and know the laws inside and 

out that are on the books, and 

whether they are enforceable or not 

and whether they are enough or 

not, I really thought their backing 

to the legislators would say ‘you 

folks are the expert in this field and 

so we are going to rely on your recommendation.’” 

That didn’t happen, she said. 

However, Glynn said “we will 

never know if this would keep 

someone from having a party at 

their house.” 

She said she will continue to 

fight for a law such as this. 

Wisconsin man sentenced 

in unlawful taking of wildlife 

A healthy herd of about 800 

bison can be found within Badlands 

National Park, about 10 

miles west of Wall, South Dakota. 

The expanse of prairie grasses and 

rugged spires of Badlands National 

Park inspires reverence and nostalgia, 

and these bison are an integral 

part of Badlands history. An iconic 

symbol of the National Park Service, 

American bison can still face 

threats even in these protected 

places. 

On November 15, 2010 Keith 

Jorgenson of Green Bay, Wisconsin, 

illegally shot and killed a mule 

deer buck in Pennington County. 

This started an investigation which 

uncovered how Joseph Wilmet, also 

of Green Bay, shot, killed, and 

butchered a large bull bison in 

Badlands National Park. 

A cooperative law enforcement 

effort with Pennington County 

Sheriff’s Department, South 

Dakota Game, Fish and Parks, 

United States Fish and Wildlife 

Service, United States Attorney’s 

Office, and National Park Service 

resulted in Wilmet being sentenced 

on October 5, 2012, and Jorgenson 

being sentenced on January 7, 

2013, for the unlawful taking of 

wildlife. 

Badlands Superintendent Eric 

Brunnemann stated, “Today we 

salute the agencies that investigated 

this case, prosecuted and 

gave us these convictions. Two 

years and countless hours of investigative 

work exemplifies the dedication 

of these officers. This is 

government that works.” 

Jorgenson disclosed that he and 

Wilmet had been scouting for animals 

in the days leading up to the 

November 15, 2010 discovery of the 

buffalo and deer. 

"The prosecution of these two 

men should serve as a notice to 

anyone involved in poaching in our 

state. We take wildlife crime seriously 

and we will continue our efforts 

to work with our law 

enforcement partners to investi- 

gate and prosecute these offenses,” 

said US Attorney Brendan Johnson. 

Badlands Chief Ranger Casey 

Osback believes that “solid police 

work in the early phases of this 

case resulted in this victory over 

poaching in our national parks.” 

Jorgenson and Wilmet were also 

found with carcasses from several 

additional deer. They stated they 

took the wildlife in the vicinity of 

Badlands and the town of Scenic, 

South Dakota. 

The possession of traps or nets is 

not allowable within Badlands. The 

taking of wildlife is an illegal act, 

as is “[p]ossessing unlawfully 

taken wildlife or portions thereof 

(36 CFR§2.2(a)(3)). The National 

Park Service mission, as identified 

in the 1916 Organic Act is charged 

with the protection of “natural and 

historic objects and the wild life” in 

national parks. In most park units, 

hunting is specifically called out as 

a prohibited recreational use. 

Hunting is welcomed on some federal 

and state properties. Responsible 

hunters research regulations 

and follow appropriate guidelines, 

a practice Jorgenson and Wilmet 

did not honor. Jorgenson was sentenced 

to one year of probation and 

a $1,000 fine. He was ordered to 

pay $25 to the Victim Assistance 

Fund and $2,500 in restitution. 

Wilmet was previously sentenced 

on October 5, 2012. 

By working together, the various 

land management and law enforcement 

agencies involved were able 

to successfully work within their 

differing missions to bring these 

poachers to justice. Badlands staff 

is extremely grateful that the perpetrators 

of the bison slaughter 

were convicted. 

Badlands is one of four mid-west 

NPS units with American bison on 

the landscape. Brunnemann stated 

that “Anyone who has seen these 

majestic animals knows they are 

looking at our national history, our 

national icon.” 

Veterans fail to receive state 

authority for cemetery 



An effort to have state authorization 

for a new cemetery for veterans 

on the eastern end of South 

Dakota died in the House State Affairs 

Committee this past week in 

Pierre. 

Rep. Stace Nelson, R-Fulton, 

presented the bill Feb. 6, with a 

host of veterans in the audience 

looking on. Nelson said the bill was 

seeking authority to purchase 50 

acres of land along I-90, but there 

was no state money involved. He 

said there were “plenty of South 

Dakotans with a kind heart who 

will be honored to donate to this.” 

Steve Harding, Department of 

Veterans Affairs, agreed with the 

“good intentions,” but opposed it 

because of the cost and the lack of 

a need. He said the Black Hills National 

Cemetery near Sturgis already 

is in existence, and two other 

cemeteries at Ogalala and Rosebud 

reservations at Pine Ridge and 

Mission, respectively, recently were 

given authority to move ahead. 

South Dakota has 70,000 veterans 

and three cemeteries, Harding 

said, while North Dakota has 

60,000 veterans with one state 

cemetery. 

Local municipalities, he said, 

have the option to have areas des- 

ignated in current cemeteries for 

veterans. 

Nelson said the veterans are not 

asking the state for a national 

cemetery, but the veterans would 

take it on as a project to raise the 

money. 

Nelson said communities would 

be interested in having this memorial 

park. While it would not be a 

“windfall,” he said, it would attract 

visitors, who would buy gas and 

food while there. 

He said they would seek a donor 

of 50 acres along the I-90 corridor. 

The reason for seeking another 

cemetery on the eastern side of the 

state was to make it easier for relatives 

to visit the graves of their 

loved ones, rather than having to 

travel across the state. 

Committee members resisted 

the proposal, citing several problems 

with the bill. 

Rep. David Nostrup, R-Aberdeen, 

said there was nothing 

stopping the veterans from working 

on such a project, and didn’t 

need the state authority to do so. 

While just short of 100 legislators 

had signed on to the bill, Nostrup 

included, and Rep. Bernie 

Hunhoff, D-Yankton, had asked 

that it be kept alive to be debated 

by the full House, the bill was 

killed in committee on a 9-4 vote. 

Removal of sales tax on food 

by Elizabeth “Sam” Grosz 


The four percent sales tax on 

food items remains intact after a 

proposal to cut it failed to make it 

out of the House Taxation Committee 

recently. 

The tax would have been decreased 

to zero percent, which 

through a technicality, would have 

allowed cities to continue charging 

their one or two percent currently 

in place. 

Rep. Marc Feinstein, D-Sioux 

Falls, led the discussion, noting 

that the approximate nine percent 

of sales tax revenue “shouldn’t be 

wagging the dog of 91 percent of 

revenue… nine percent is not that 

significant.” 

This was the fifth year for this 

attempt, but Feinstein noted that 

the reasons it had been voted down 

before “are no longer there.” 

“We tax …sales tax on baby food 

and formula,” Feinstein said, “but 

not for pigs and horses—that’s 

wrong.” 

Rep. Ray Ring, D-Vermillion, 

and a retired college economics professor, 

backed up Feinstein’s argument, 

noting that 64,000 are in the 

bottom 20 percent of income. 

Through calculations, he noted 

that these families should pay 30 

percent of their food bill, with the 

other 70 percent covered by food 

stamps. In actual expense, he said, 

about half of their food expense is 

covered by food stamps and the 

other half they would pay the tax. 

Feinstein said for a family of 

three, with a net income of $1,591 

per month, or grossing $24,000 per 

year, they would receive only $86 in 

food stamps. 

“That is a lot less than the average 

of $312 per month” that is 

touted in discussions, Feinstein 

said. 

“We have an immoral tax system,” 

commented Rep. Bernie Hunhoff, 

D-Yankton, adding “in South 

Dakota we have the poorest of the 

poor,” yet they are taxed for food. 

The bill was resisted by the state 

Department of Revenue, and the 

Bureau of Finance and Management. 

Officials said the state’s 

broad tax base allows many to pay 

a little without placing a large burden 

on anyone. Those states without 

sales tax on food, it was noted, 

generally have another source of 

money, such as Alaska with its oil 

production. 

Despite the passionate support 

of Democrats, their four votes were 

the only ones cast to pass the bill, 

while 10 voted to kill it. It also was 

sent to the 41st day, an action 

meant to keep it from being 

brought up again during this session. 

Veterans Service Officer funding 

on way to being reinstated 



Cuts made two years ago across 

most of state government programs 

resulted in the loss of $168,000 

from the Veterans Service Officer 

fund. 

A bill approved by the House 

State Affairs Committee Feb. 6, 

HB1249, would reinstate that 

funding to counties who have such 

an officer. This person helps veterans 

receive their benefits from the 

federal government. 

Rep. Lance Carson, R-Mitchell, 

said with over 70,000 veterans eligible, 

only about 26,000 currently 

are taking part in what has been 

awarded to them. 

“We send several hundred young 

people into combat zones,” said 

Carson, “and many return with 

problems that need to be addressed.” 

Rep. Spencer Hawley, D-Brookings, 

said two years when the cuts 

were made, he didn’t think it was a 

necessary cut, and this one was “a 

slap in the face” of veterans. He 

supported having the funding reinstated, 

noting that counties will 

have to apply for the reimbursement, 

once the money is actually 

spent on veterans service officer activities. 

Sen. Bill Van Gerpen, R-Tyndall, 

who had not been in the Legislature 

when the cut was made, said 

he was “shocked and stunned when 

I learned South Dakota had decided 

to quit funding” the VSO. 

The perception, he said, was 

that of the state not supporting its 

veterans. 

Gene Murphy, Disabled American 

Veterans, said veteran suicide 

rates are at an all-time high this 

past year. The DAV has 28 vans 

that make daily trips, bringing veterans 

to appointments. 

The government, said Murphy, 

“wasn’t concerned about dollars 

when it sent these people to war.” 

The bill was sent to the House 

floor with a 13-0 “do pass” recommendation. 

Support Military Families 

Last year, I had the opportunity 

to join a Department of Defense 

trip to Kuwait and Afghanistan to 

visit South Dakota troops who 

were serving in those countries. 

Seeing the bleak landscape of 

Afghanistan and the extreme 

desert conditions made me appreciate 

even more the sacrifice that 

every member of our military 

makes for our nation. 

It is not just these brave men 

and women who make sacrifices – 

their families sacrifice as well. 

Just as we have military men 

and women overseas, there are 

other servicemen and women serving 

much closer to home here in 

South Dakota. Many of them are 

stationed at Ellsworth Air Force 

Base. I have made a proposal to the 

Legislature for the benefit of those 

families. 

Thirty-five percent of military 

spouses in the workforce are in professions 

that require professional 

licensure or certification. When a 

military family is transferred to 

our state, that family should not 

Protecting Our Postal 

Service Delivery 

Chances are you’re reading this 

in a newspaper that was delivered 

by the Postal Service, and perhaps 

it was even delivered on a Saturday. 

If the Postal Service has its 

way, Saturday delivery of firstclass 

letters, periodicals and standard 

mail will be eliminated 

beginning in August. Here in South 

Dakota, our postal service is critical 

to the way families and businesses 

operate, which is why I’m 

opposed to this short-sighted proposal. 

There’s no doubt that the United 

States Postal Service (USPS) is facing 

some serious financial troubles. 

Last year, the USPS reported a loss 

of almost $16 billion. The proposal 

to cut Saturday delivery aims to 

save about $2 billion annually – 

nowhere close to covering the $16 

billion deficit. It’s time for the 

Postal Service to make smart internal 

business decisions to fix their 

financial problems. 

The real problem with the USPS 

is not the services they provide. 

Cutting essential services, like six 

day delivery, is only a small drop in 

a very large bucket of financial 

troubles. There are a host of structural 

reforms and ways to improve 

and modernize the USPS that 

The nonpartisan Congressional 

Budget Office (CBO) recently released 

its 2013 Budget and Economic 

Outlook. The report sounded 

the alarm on America’s financial 

future and made it clear that if the 

federal government fails to address 

the long-term drivers of our out-ofcontrol 

federal spending, our national 

debt will continue on an 

unsustainable upward trajectory 

that will eventually consume our 

economy, slowing growth and hurting 

opportunity for American families 

and workers. 

According to the report, the national 

debt is expected to hit $26 

trillion by 2023—or more than $10 

trillion over the next 10 years. According 

to the CBO, such levels of 

debt “would increase the risk of a 

fiscal crisis.” 

Stifled by a national debt that 

just keeps rising, economic growth 

is likely to remain bleak and national 

unemployment levels above 

7.5 percent through next year, according 

to the CBO report. If that 

happens, 2014 will be the sixth consecutive 

year that unemployment 

By Gov. Dennis Daugaard 

By Rep. Kristi Noem 

could continue to provide quality 

services, while fixing inefficiencies 

that have plagued the Postal Service 

for years. 

South Dakota is home to over 

300 postal facilities that serve central 

roles in our communities, and 

a lot of folks have expressed concern 

to me recently about what 

would happen if Saturday delivery 

is eliminated. I hope to see real, 

common sense reforms come from 

the USPS which will actually move 

delivery service to become more reliable, 

efficient and financially 

sound. 

The bottom line is this: the 

Postal Service needs to address its 

internal issues before cutting services 

that directly affect South 

Dakota families and businesses. If 

you’re a rural newspaper that relies 

on Saturday delivery, or a resident 

who designates Saturdays as 

the day to pay bills, I hope you 

reach out to my office and share 

your story. I would love to hear 

from you. Contact information for 

my South Dakota and Washington,

The Risk of a Fiscal Crisis 

By Sen. John Thune 

lose earning power for an extended 

period while a spouse seeks licensure 

in South Dakota. 

That is why I proposed a professional 

licensure portability bill for 

military spouses. It has been introduced 

to the Legislature as Senate 

Bill 117. The bill will streamline 

the process so that a military 

spouse with a license or certificate 

in another state can easily transfer 

into South Dakota. 

Nearly half of our sister states 

have approved similar legislation, 

and I hope that the Legislature approves 

the measure, allowing 

South Dakota to join those states. 

Our military men and women 

are devoted to our country. They 

endure greatly for us. They risk 

their lives and sacrifice much. One 

sacrifice our military families 

should not have to make is waiting 

for government to approve their 

ability to make a living after moving 

to South Dakota. 

SB117 will let military families 

know that South Dakota welcomes 

them and values their great contribution 

to our nation. 

exceeds 7.5 percent of the labor 

force, making it the longest period 

of joblessness in the past 70 years. 

Few in America would dispute 

the fact that these numbers are 

alarming. However, the divide in 

Congress is about whether to 

tackle the out-of-control national 

debt by increasing taxes on hard 

working Americans, or by making 

sensible reforms to control federal 

spending. According to the CBO report, 

the federal government’s tax 

receipts are projected to exceed 

what they have historically been 

relative to the size of the economy. 

In other words, Washington clearly 

does not tax too little, it spends too 

much. 

The only way to dig ourselves 

out of this hole and put our country 

back on a sound financial footing is 

to get spending under control. It’s 

not too late to enact meaningful 

spending reforms that would jumpstart 

the American economy, but 

Congress must act soon in order to 

prevent a financial catastrophe 

that will limit the opportunities for 

future generations of Americans.

SPECIAL MEETING 

Board of Jackson 

County 

Commissioners 

January 21, 2013 

The Board of Jackson County Commissioners 

met in special session at 11:00 

a.m., Monday, January 21, 2013 in the 

Commissioner’s Room of the Jackson 

County Courthouse. Chairman Glen 

Bennett called the meeting to order with 

members Larry Johnston, Jim Stilwell 

and Ron Twiss present. Larry Denke was 

absent. Also present were Dwight 

Deaver, Hwy. Supt., Aaron Richardson, 

and Kolette Struble. Derek McTighe, 

Brosz Engineering was also present. 

All motions carried unanimously unless 

otherwise noted. 

Chairman Bennett requested all in attendance 

to travel to the site of new construction 

on the Prokop Road (CS 29). 

The construction site was observed. 

Derek McTighe, Brosz Engineering obtained 

information about the percentage 

of grade of the hill on the road, and documented 

other information. 

All in attendance returned to the Commissioner’s 

Room of the Jackson County 

Courthouse at 12:05 p.m. 

Discussion was held on the short distance 

from the cattle guard, curve around 

the power line, and then immediate steep 

grade up on the west side of the hill. 

These factors cause possible hazards either 

going up or coming down the hill, 

along with a very abrupt drop in terrain 

on the south side of the road on the west 

side of the hill. Report was made that alternate 

location of the cattle guard was 

not taken as the adjoining landowner did 

not approve. 

Derek McTighe informed the board that 

each road construction project should 

begin with a set of plans, and he suggested 

the county use the South Dakota 

Secondary Road Plan Specifications. 

Derek McTighe informed the board he 

would compile information from today 

and present it to SDDOT, Secondary 

Roads for advisement on the project. 

Discussion was held that lowering the hill 

could cost $75,000 or more. Derek 

McTighe informed the board that SDDOT 

may advise that the county remove that 

section of road from the county system 

and then it would become a private road. 

Discussion was held that a petition would 

be required from a private citizen to initiate 

removal of road from the county system. 

Derek McTighe is to provide 

information received from SDDOT at the 

February meeting. 

Dwight Deaver, Hwy. Supt., reported that 

all equipment will be locked up at the end 

of each day. He also reported on training 

of motor grader operators. 

At 1:15 p.m., Stilwell moved, Twiss seconded 

that the board go into executive 

session to discuss personnel matters. 

Dwight Deaver and Aaron Richardson 

were present. 

The board came out of executive session 

at 1:48 p.m. The board took no action. 

Discussion was held on new roads 

added to the county system. The board 

suggested that the Highway Department 

start a file for each new road. 

Discussion was held on the proposed 

rechanneling of Lost Dog Creek at 

Riverview Road near Highway 44 south 

of Interior. Twiss suggested that the 

county have Brosz Engineering look at 

the proposed project, and that this be 

placed on the agenda of the February 

meeting. 

There being no further business to come 

before the board, Twiss moved, Johnston 

seconded, that the meeting be adjourned, 

and that the board meet in regular 

session at 9:00 a.m., February 11, 

2013.

William “Bill” Robert Lee_________________________ 

“Loving husband and father, a 

true American” 

William “Bill” Robert Lee, 81 

years young, of Springdale, Ark., 

formerly of Midland, S.D., succumbed 

to heart failure at the VA 

Medical Center’s Palliative Care 

facility in Fayetteville, Ark., at 

6:55 p.m. on February 5, 2013. 

Bill was born in Midland to 

William and Electa Pearl (Johnson) 

Lee on May 5, 1931, and 

raised on his dad's homestead, 

Golden Willow Ranch, north of Ottumwa. 

He was educated at the 

Mattison County School where he 

graduated the eighth grade. Bill 

finished his schooling by GED 

while in the military. 

Before joining the Army, Bill was 

the 4-H leader for the Prairie 

Rangers and served with Helen 

Heeb and Walt Sandal. He won the 

Congress Award and was given a 

trip to Chicago. He was all prepared 

to enter the service of the 

Army and actually postponed it so 

he could make that trip! 

It was during a 4-H camp trip 

that he first met Connie Carr, who 

was only about 11 years old at the 

time, and it was not love at first 

sight. Bill was Camp King that 

year and since he was 17 years old 

there was no romance in the air for 

the two of them. But “meant to be” 

has a way of making things happen. 

Bill joined the Army in January 

of 1953 and was stationed at Camp 

Roberts in Petaluma, Calif. He 

served during the Korean War. He 

was a sharpshooter with the M1 

rifle and was a squad leader for a 

medic unit. Bill was a member of a 

top secret team in the ASA (Army 

Security Agency). Unbeknownst to 

his family, Bill was out of the country 

many times, behind enemy 

lines, helping to get wounded soldiers 

to safety. He was honorably 

discharged in June 1959. It was 

after Bill returned home from the 

service that he and Connie met 

again and the sparks quickly flew. 

They were married August 6, 

1960, in Philip at the Methodist 

Church. 

A blessed couple, they had a full 

life in their loving marriage of 52 

years. They had three children together. 

Bill loved to go on family 

hunting and fishing trips. Many 

times, at the beginning of the 

hunting season, he would let his 

kids follow him as he was “tracking 

a deer.” Now, any hunter 

knows the deer wouldn't be caught 

within hearing distance of three 

kids. Bill would take them “carefully” 

and “quietly,” walking 

through the creek beds or wherever 

they happened to be. 

Bill is remembered as a strong, 

yet compassionate man. He loved 

to work with his hands and loved 

remodeling houses. Most of their 

homes while growing up had some 

part of the house in a remodeling 

project. Many times Connie wondered 

if she would ever be rid of all 

the sawdust. Bill loved rock hunting. 

Many a vacation was spent 

out in the middle of nowhere looking 

for agates, geodes, and whatever 

rock could be polished. He 

had a tumbler which he used to get 

them polished, but somehow he 

never got around to making the 

jewelry he intended to create. 

There was always a box of “beautifully 

polished” rocks somewhere in 

the garage or his shop, waiting to 

be turned into a treasure. But the 

real treasure was Bill. 

Bill had a love for gardening, especially 

flowers. In the spring, people 

would slowly drive past 

wherever they lived to admire his 

flowers. He battled many a pesky 

gopher, even naming a few, all the 

while trying to find ways to prevent 

them from destroying his 

beautifying projects. Bill loved 

woodworking and building things 

with his hands. He could be found 

in his shop working with his jigsaw 

building something, and all 

his kids have jigsaw puzzles that 

he created for them as Christmas 

gifts one year. Bill had a gentle 

spirit, filled with love and he was 

loved mightily in response by all 

who knew him. 

He also loved to play cards. He 

and Connie found some wonderful 

neighbors who also loved to play 

cards. They spent many evenings 

playing Joker, Whist, Pinochle and 

a number of other card games. 

And just when you thought 

there couldn’t possibly be any 

more to Bill Lee – husband, father, 

brother, son, patriot, woodworker, 

amateur horticulturist, hunter, 

fisherman, and loyal friend to 

many – not done yet! Bill was an 

IFR-rated pilot who owned two 

planes – a Piper Cub and a Cessna 

Sky Master. And, of course, he 

taught his boys to fly. His son, 

Todd, recalls a very important lesson. 

It seems Todd was having a 

bit of trouble picking up the details 

his dad was trying to give him. Finally, 

Bill said to his son “Let’s 

start simple. When you push this 

forward, the cows get bigger. When 

you pull it back, the cows get 

smaller.” Well, that made it all 

come together for Todd and, once 

again, dad was king. 

Even though that’s a pretty fulfilling 

life, Bill kept busy with 

work and his affiliations as well! 

He and his nephew, Walter “Junior” 

Van Tassel, became partners 

on the Golden Willow Ranch and 

raised their families together. In 

1963 Golden Willow Seeds was 

started, so along with the ranch 

that raised registered Black Angus 

cattle and farming, the seed business 

included certified seeds and 

custom grain cleaning. Bill was as 

passionate about his work as he 

was about his family. He used Conklin 

products in his farming activities 

on the ranch. He was sold on 

the products so he started selling 

them to his friends and neighbors. 

Driven to succeed at anything he 

did, Bill ultimately became Conklin’s 

“Salesperson of the Year” 

with the company’s first $50,000 

month from one person! He was 

one of the first of eight area managers 

for Conklin. 

There was a “tough” side to Bill 

and it was reflected in his involvement 

with his community. You 

can’t be in demand to participate 

on numerous boards without having 

a gift for knowing when to take 

a stand. Bill served on the South 

Dakota State Board of Agriculture 

where he developed industry and 

educational relationships through 

numerous board meetings at 

South Dakota State University in 

Brookings. He served with SDSU 

President Briggs on the Board of 

Directors for the SDCIA (South 

Dakota Crop Improvement Association), 

the Board of Directors for 

Certified Seeds, and the Board of 

Directors for the Prairie Village in 

Madison. In 1973, Bill was 

awarded the South Dakota Farmstead 

Beautification Award from 

the Haakon County Conservation 

District. He was a lifetime member 

of Granite Threshing Bee in Granite, 

Iowa. Additionally, he was a 

past Master of the Masonic Lodge 

in Midland, and was a 32nd Degree 

Shriner. Bill was a busy man! 

Declining health, caused by exposure 

to chemicals in the seed 

cleaning dust, forced Bill and Walter 

to dissolve their partnership in 

1970. Bill and Connie then purchased 

the Bernard Armstrong 

Ranch north of Midland. In 1974, 

they decided to move the family to 

the Rapid City area to be closer to 

the health care Bill needed. It wasn't 

long before they decided the 

Take charge of your financial future 

Are you ready to take charge of 

your financial future? South 

Dakota Saves is here to help. Feb. 

25 to March 2, 2013 is SDSaves 

week. 

During this week, sponsors aim 

to promote good savings behavior, 

help consumers learn more about 

personal finance issues and suggest 

ways to save. SDSU Extension 

is part of a national coalition spearheading 

the promotion of savings 

across our nation. America Saves is 

a nationwide campaign run by the 

Consumer Federation of America 

that encourages savings among low 

to moderate income households. 

Each year they motivate youth and 

adults to join as a Young America 

Saver on-line and to take action 

during this week by opening or 

adding to an account at a local financial 

institution. This opportunity 

allows people to commit to a 

savings goal and identify specific 

plans to achieve. 

You can enroll as a South 

Dakota Saver at www.southdakotasaves.orgEnrolled 

savers receive 

a newsletter with a variety of savings 

topics. The website has many 

online resources where you can 

learn to save such as building an 

emergency fund, saving for a home, 

education or retirement. 

The campaign encourages people 

to set a savings goal; make a 

plan on how you will save money; 

and learn to save monthly through 

direct deposit or automatic transfer 

from your checking to savings for 

every time you get paid. Maintaining 

an emergency savings account 

should be a top priority for every 

individual and family. It is possible 

to have an emergency fund for all 

Americans, no matter what your 

income is. With an emergency savings 

account you will not deplete 

your savings that is set aside for 

your personal goals. 

There are many places to find 

money to save. Start with loose 

change that you accumulate. Americans 

typically save more than 

$100 in loose change each year. Cut 

back on small, unnecessary expenditures. 

The America Saves website 

lists more than twenty ideas 

for reducing spending. These ideas 

range from packing a lunch, to 

switching from daily lattes to daily 

coffee, to not bouncing checks. 

Saving for an emergency fund 

may be easier if you involve your 

whole family in meeting this challenge. 

By explaining the importance 

to your spouse and children, 

they may even help build the account.

doctors in Sioux Falls were better 

and they moved to the eastern side 

of South Dakota. 

Bill became disabled in 1989 

when a drunk driver hit his semitruck, 

sending his rig over the side 

of the mountain near the Tennessee/North 

Carolina border. 

This added more health issues to 

Bill’s already difficult condition 

and, in 2008, Bill and Connie decided 

to retire. A move to Arkansas 

where they could be near the 

Ozark Mountains they loved and 

be in a warmer climate was an 

easy decision to make. This also 

put them closer to Branson, Mo., 

where they loved to visit many of 

the music places. 

The driving force behind Bill’s 

ability to overcome all adversity 

and come out on top was that he 

dearly loved his family. When the 

grandchildren started arriving, 

Bill loved sharing the things he 

had passion for and passing along 

his knowledge in such a wide array 

of topics. He looked forward to 

sharing with each new generation 

as the great-grandchildren started 

arriving. He was proud of the accomplishments 

of his children, 

grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. 

One of his granddaughters 

shared with Grandma 

recently that "Grandpa was always 

so strong and could fix anything." 

Everyone agreed. He 

collected antique tractors and was 

a big International Harvester fan. 

Connie was indulgent about Bill’s 

love for all things “tractor” and Bill 

was able to add another thing to 

his long list of passions. 

Not long ago, Bill ran into another 

Korean War Vet. They got to 

talking and discovered they had 

been on some of the same missions 

together. They were able to reminisce 

about the daring helicopter 

pilot who was able to fly them in 

and out of some pretty rough experiences 

as they helped injured soldiers. 

Bill was so very proud to 

have served his country. He was 

proud to be an American – through 

and through. He was proud to 

serve his country. When he was 

given his Korean War Veteran cap 

a couple of years ago, he proudly 

wore it everywhere he went as a 

reminder of the country he loved. 

Bill is survived by his wife of 52 

years, Connie (Carr) Lee; a daughter 

Sandra (Jack) Nantais of Centerville; 

two sons, Mike Lee of 

Fairview, Mont., and Todd 

(Tammy) Lee of Apple Valley, 

Minn.; a sister, Fern Konst of 

Philip; a brother-in-law, Jim 

(Deanna) Carr of Pueblo, Colo.; 

eight grandchildren, Dan (Kenzi) 

Lee, Ashley Osterkamp, Nick Lee, 

Veronica (Robert) Knockenmus, 

Alisha Lee, Hannah Lee, Elliott 

Lee, and Katie Lee; three stepgrandchildren 

- Adam (Sarah) 

Nantais, Erica Nantais, and Joel 

(Holly) Nantais; three greatgrandchildren, 

Paige Knockenmus, 

Robert Michael Knockenmus 

and Landon Michael Lee; multiple 

nieces and nephews; and a host of 

relatives and friends. 

He was preceded in death by his 

parents, William and Electa Pearl 

(Johnson) Lee; half-sisters, Ruth 

(Caster) Blumenthal and Edna 

(Caster) Jones; half-brother, 

Grover Caster; baby grandson, 

Eric Lee; infant nephew, Richard 

Konst; nephew, Walter "Junior" 

Van Tassel; and niece, Esther 

(Konst) Burns. 

Bill always gave more than expected, 

and he will proudly serve 

God in Heaven. But his family is 

left with the memories of a soft, 

gentle, compassionate man who 

loved them all. He will be greatly 

missed. 

A celebration of life service was 

held at the American Legion Hall 

in Philip, S.D., on Saturday, February 

9, with Pastor Dallas 

McKinley officiating. 

Music was provided by Barb 

Bowen, pianist, and Susan Van 

Tassel, vocalist. Ushers were 

Mickey Daly and Lawrence 

Schofield. 

Pallbearers were Todd and Mike 

Lee, Steve and Jim Van Tassel, 

and Nick and Rodney Konst. 

Burial with full military honors 

by the American Legion Post #173 

of Philip was at the Masonic 

Cemetery in Philip.

Nearly 1,500 eligible patrons of 

Midwest Cooperatives will share in 

the distribution of $2.86 million in 

cash patronage and equity during 

2013 based on business they’ve 

conducted with the company. 

“We’re extremely proud that we 

can provide this tremendous return 

to our customers and owners,” said 

Milt Handcock, general manager. 

“One of the most important ways 

we help producers grow is by delivering 

an economic return on the 

business they do with Midwest Cooperatives. 

This – along with the 

quality energy and crop inputs, 

crop marketing and services we 

provide year-round – underscores 

the added value of being a cooperative 

system owner and customer. 

“Through their ownership in a 

cooperative like Midwest Cooperatives, 

not only do they have access 

to products and services, they also 

share in our success and that of the 

integrated CHS system. This enables 

all of us to invest in the future 

of our local producers, this 

business and our community.”

to compete in youth in action 

events for horse and livestock 

along with taking part in a dog 

show and beef cook off challenge. 

Held at the Central States Fairgrounds 

in Rapid City, the event 

provided the perfect setting for 

youth to learn and engage in their 

4-H and FFA projects. 

Livestock youth had the opportunity 

to compete in the Livestockology 

contest were they were 

quizzed on basic production knowledge 

of beef, sheep, and swine. Kids 

completed a quiz, station identification, 

gave a team oral presentation, 

and finished a team challenge 

problem. 

Top two teams in juniors and 

seniors were recognized. First 

place senior team was Hughes

CHS Inc., the nation’s leading producer-owned 

cooperative. 

During 2013, Midwest Cooperatives 

will allocate a total of $7.5 

million in patronage dividends to 

its eligible customers based on 

business done Sept. 1, 2011 – Aug. 

31, 2012, of which $2.86 million is 

being paid out in cash. 

Overall, CHS expects to return 

up to a record $600 million during 

its 2013 fiscal year in cash patronage, 

equity redemptions and dividends 

paid on preferred stock to 

nearly 1,200 eligible cooperatives 

and nearly 50,000 individual members 

and others in 50 states. CHS 

net income for its fiscal year ending 

Aug. 31, 2012, was $1.26 billion.

retirement of ownership in 

CHS earned in past years. Since it 

was established in 1998, CHS has 

returned more than $3.1 billion in 

cash to its owners.

70 and representatives of the estates 

of deceased members are encouraged 

to contact Milt Handcock 

and request redemption of their equity. 

CHS makes equity redemptions 

to eligible individual direct 

members throughout the year, 

based on attaining age 70 or estate 

retirements, but potentially eligible 

individuals must initiate contact.

Do your taxes 

and E-File for 

free with 

Free File 

All taxpayers have a fast, safe 

and free option when it comes to 

preparing their own federal taxes. 

It’s called Free File, and it’s available 

only at IRS.gov. 

Free File offers brand-name tax 

software to people who earned 

$57,000 or less last year, which is 

70 percent of all taxpayers. For 

those who earned more, there are 

free online fillable forms. Both options 

allow people to file returns 

electronically and use direct deposit, 

which is the fastest way to 

get refunds. 

The nation’s leading tax software 

companies have partnered 

with the IRS to make their products 

available for free through 

IRS.gov. Each company sets its own 

eligibility criteria, generally based 

on income, state residency, age, 

military service or eligibility for the 

Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). 

There is also a software option that 

is available in Spanish for people 

who earned $30,000 or less. 

Free File does the hard work for 

you. The software asks questions; 

you provide the answers. It picks 

the right forms, does the math and 

helps you find all the tax benefits 

for which you are eligible. 

All participating Free File partners 

have been vetted and use the 

latest in security technology. Some 

Free File software providers also 

offer state tax returns for free or for 

a fee. 

Free File Fillable Forms is the 

electronic version of IRS paper 

forms. It’s best for people experienced 

and comfortable preparing 

their own returns on paper. It does 

not support state tax returns. 

Some Free File software products 

also are available in select free 

tax preparation sites operated by 

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance 

(VITA) and Tax Counseling for the 

Elderly (TCE). Taxpayers can use 

VITA or TCE computers to access 

Free File, prepare their own state 

and federal returns with a trained 

and certified volunteer on stand-by 

to help and e-file – all for free. 

To find a participating site near 

you, go to IRS.gov and search for 

“VITA” to find a self- preparation 

site location near you. 

More than 36 million people 

have used Free File since it started 

in 2003. You can explore all your 

options at www.irs.gov/freefile. 

Businesses, organizations, 

states or local governments may 

want to promote Free File to their

Sunflower Hybrid Yield Trials 

Several copies of the joint North 

and South Dakota sunflower hybrid 

trials for 2012 were recently 

shipped to the South Dakota Regional 

Extension Centers. These 

documents can extremely helpful 

in evaluating the various hybrids 

and making selections for planting 

in 2013. Plant height, plant population, 

lodging, harvest moisture, 

test weight, oil content, seed yield 

are typical entries, with days to 

flower and sunflower midge ratings 

included for selected sites. 

The South Dakota trial results can 

also be accessed electronically at: 

http://igrow.org/up/resources/03- 

3026-2012.pdf. All of the SDSU 

Crop Variety Trial results can be 

accessed at: http://igrow.org/agronomy/profit-tips/variety-trialresults/.

Dairy Consumption 

& Teenagers 

As kids are growing up, many of 

them frequently hear someone say, 

“Drink your milk. It’s good for 

you.” Consuming milk and dairy 

products continues to be an important 

part of a healthy diet for 

everyone. Milk and dairy products 

contain calcium, magnesium, riboflavin, 

vitamin D, potassium, 

protein and other nutrients needed 

for good health throughout life. 

Calcium is a mineral that is 

vital for building strong bones and 

teeth. It becomes especially important 

during the years of adolescence 

when their bones are 

growing rapidly. During this time 

daily calcium needs increase from 

800 mg per day for 4-8 year olds to 

1300 mg for 9-18 year olds. Unfortunately, 

teenagers often choose to 

drink sodas, energy drinks, or 

other caffeinated beverages instead 

of milk. These types of beverages 

can interfere with the 

body’s absorption and ability to use 

calcium. 

Teens need enough calcium to 

build strong bones and fight bone 

loss later in life. During young 

adulthood, people gradually lose 

bone density as they age. Getting 

enough physical activity and calcium 

during the childhood through 

teen years can help to ensure that 

individuals enter their adult years 

with the strongest bones possible. 

Research shows evidence that 

consuming milk and dairy products 

is related to a lower risk of 

cardiovascular disease, hypertension 

and type 2 Diabetes. The Dietary 

Guidelines for Americans 

recommends individuals, ages 9 

and older, should consume three 

cups (24 ounces) of fat-free or lowfat 

milk or equivalent milk products 

daily. One cup of skim or 

low-fat milk provides approximately 

300 mg of calcium. 

Some individuals don’t have 

enough of the intestinal enzyme 

lactase that helps digest the sugar 

(lactose) in dairy products. This is 

called lactose intolerance. They 

may have gas, bloating, cramps or 

diarrhea after consuming milk or 

eating dairy products. Lactose-free 

milk or soymilk are good options to 

try. Each type of milk offers the 

same key nutrients such as calcium, 

vitamin D and potassium. 

Routinely include low-fat or fatfree 

dairy foods with meals and 

snacks for everyone’s benefit. For 

10 tips to help you eat and drink 

more fat-free or low-dairy foods go
