Dakota Prairie Bank to participate in 

Stocking Stuffer Christmas program 

Dakota Prairie Bank in Presho 

and in Draper has once again 

joined with the Pierre Elks Lodge 

in the Stocking Stuffer Christmas 

program for patients at the Federal 

Veteran’s Medical Center and at 

the State Veteran’s Home in Hot 

Springs. 

Collection boxes are located at 

financial institutions and at other 

locations in Pierre, Fort Pierre, 

Blunt, Presho and Draper. 

There is a great need for such 

basic items as white underwear 

and socks, sweat clothes, disposable 

razors, shaving cream, 

deodorant, gloves, tooth brushes, 

small tubes of toothpaste and 

pocket combs. Books, coffee, playing 

cards, puzzles, games, electronic 

games and batteries, prepaid 

phone cards and comfort 

items are also gratefully accepted. 

Wrapped gifts to men or to women 

are also welcome. 

Collections will continue from 

now through Tuesday, December, 

18. 

Pierre Elks Lodge Exalted 

Ruler, Jeff Hallem, urges everyone 

to remember area Veterans, particularly 

those who are hospitalized 

or those who are in nursing 

homes, to make sure that those 

veterans have a memorable Holiday 

season. A personal visit, a 

card, or a letter can mean a great 

deal to them. 

Hallem notes that the project 

has grown over the years. Last 

year, school children made homemade 

Christmas cards to honor 

those Veteran’s; senior citizens 

baked dozens of homemade cookies 

for the effort; Perkins in Ft. 

Pierre made 250 “goodie bags”; 

and a local Pierre women’s club 

helped to make sure that the 

needs of women Veteran’s were not 

forgotten. 

Bank President Stephen K. 

Hayes noted that he welcomed the 

opportunity to join a project that 

has such a worthwhile goal. “Our 

bank has a long tradition of supporting 

and serving businesses, 

ranchers, and families in the area. 

It is important to us to remember 

our hospitalized Veterans and to 

let them know their service to our 

country has not been forgotten. We 

know that the people of the Presho 

and Draper area really care about 

our Nation’s Veterans, both those 

at home and those on active duty 

abroad. There is no better way to 

say ‘Thank You’ than to remember 

our hospitalized Veterans, and we 

are pleased to offer our banks as 

drop box locations.” 

1905 Fiat returns to Murdo's Pioneer Auto Show 

after prestigious win at Concours D' Elegance 

Every year, during the third 

weekend of August, over 200 of the 

most prized collector cars and 

motorcycles in the world enter 

onto what is often called the best 

finishing hole in golf - the famed 

eighteenth fairway at Pebble 

Beach Golf Resort in Pebble 

Beach, California. 

South Dakota was represented, 

and did not disappoint by taking 

2nd place in Class L-1 (Prewar 

Preservation) with the 1905 Fiat 

60 HP Quimby Touring, entered by 

David Geisler Sr. of Pioneer Auto 

Show, Murdo, SD. 

This show is special, as cars and 

motorcycles are judged on style, 

historical accuracy, and their technical 

merit - with participation by 

invite only. Concours D' Elegance 

translates as an automotive contest 

of elegance. To compete in the 

Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance 

an automobile must be a 

well preserved or accurately 

restored vehicle still quite capable 

of being driven. It will almost 

surely have some historic valueperhaps 

it served to debut new 

technology or new styling trends 

or it has an impressive racing 

record. And it will be rare-possibly 

a singular example of a special 

chassis bearing a respected coachbuilder's 

art. 

Dave Geisler Sr., owner of Pioneer 

Auto Show, said "The 1905 

Fiat definitely fits the profile for 

this show. Of only twenty of its 

kind built, it is believed to be the 

last one in existence." 

Prestigious win… Dave Geisler is pictured with his 2nd place 

trophy earned at Concours D’ Elegance.

The Fiat was originally built as 

a high performance car specifically 

for the ultra-rich to drive fast on 

public roads, and by verbal history 

this particular car is believed to 

have been owned by the eclectic 

brewing tycoon August Anheuser 

Busch, Sr. 

"We are thrilled to have earned 

recognition at Pebble Beach," said 

Geisler. "The car was next featured 

in the lobby at the new 

LeMay Museum in Tacoma, WA. 

As one of the world's largest auto 

museums and attractions, this 

four story museum houses up to 

350 cars, trucks and motorcycles." 

This historic automobile how 

now made its way back to its current 

home, the Pioneer Auto Museum 

in Murdo, South Dakota. Here 

it will remain for automobile 

enthusiasts across America to 

admire the one of a kind car when 

they travel to South Dakota.

and rare automobile or to

culture, call 605-669-2691,

Cheryl McMillan and Helen 

McMillan accompanied Kathleen 

Stickler to Huron last Tuesday 

where they attended a seventh 

grade play in which Carson Hruby 

had one of the leading parts. The 

ladies spent Tuesday night at the 

Hruby home and enjoyed having 

lunch with Carla Hruby Wednesday, 

after which they returned to 

Murdo. 

Mr. and Mrs. Casey McMillan 

of Wall visited at the homes of 

Cliff and Bev Anderson and Helen 

McMillan Sunday evening. 

Well, the holidays are here. 

Most of us spent the past weekend 

with family and friends, being 

thankful for them and all the 

many other blessings we sometimes 

take for granted, right down 

to the bounteous food and warm 

homes filled with family. I, for 

one, am looking forward to a wonderful 

Advent and Christmas season. 

Ronnie and Holly Lebeda and 

friend enjoyed the Thanksgiving 

dinner at the lunch room put on 

by Jay Keever and Joe Connot, 

with many others. What a needed 

and wonderful way to share the 

Thanksgiving Day with the whole 

community. 

Julia Broecher was one who 

also enjoyed the good food and visiting 

that went on. She said she 

saw many people there, some she 

knew and some she didn’t. She 

thinks this a special way to give 

thanks. She truly enjoyed the day 

just by being there. 

Melba got to use the sunroom 

for her guests for Thanksgiving. 

Raymond Boysen from Rapid City, 

Alecia Lanz of Valentine, Neb., 

and Jean, Rodney, and Brian Lanz 

of St. Francis had a scrumptious 

meal and lots of visiting in the 

afternoon.

went on to Corey and Betty

weather both ways. 

Letter to the editor 

Well another successful 

Thanksgiving passed. As most of 

you know, Jay Keever and myself 

prepare a Thanksgiving feast for 

anyone who wants to come and 

eat. We have done this for the past 

10 years or so (neither Jay or 

myself are for sure how long we 

have been doing it.) This past year 

we fixed 12 turkeys, a large ham, 

40 pounds of potatoes, dressing 

and a lot of corn. Members of the 

community donate more pie than 

we can eat along with all kinds of 

salads and other goodies. We have 

never asked for any donations nor 

have we kept very good count on 

the number of guests we have. We 

are just thankful to live in such a 

fine community. 

After Jay and I finished up this 

year we decided this was going to 

be our last year. We are sorry to 

say that. The meal has grown to 

something we feel is a good thing 

and hope some other organization 

will take it over. I know there will 

be many disappointed people but it 

is just getting to be too much. We 

have had a good run but now it is 

time for us to finish up. 

Thanks for all of your past support.

accompany the pair’s meal.

Thanksgiving guests of Dave 

and Linda Brost were Michelle

Paul and Denise Brost of Waunakee, 

Wis., and kids Taylor, Jamie, 

Alex and Dillion. Also joining 

them were Del, Christy, Kade, and 

Hannah Brost. 

Jeff and Kristi Vlietstra, Will 

and Walker arrived at the Valburg 

ranch Friday evening for the 

weekend. Saturday evening they

Valburg, Mallory and Sunny Lee; 

and Bill and Cindy Valburg and

Cortney and Justin, along with 

Donna’s mom and stepdad Sherry 

and Ed, and David and Lindsay 

and her mom, Cheryl, came to 

join us for dinner at Trace and 

Karen's house. Sarah returned 

back to school on Sunday. 

I, Janet, just heard the sad 

news of the passing on October 21 

of Rodney Lee Miller, 50, son of 

former Draperite Raymond and 

Gloria Miller of Ft. Morgan, Colo. 

Funeral services were held October 

29 at the Bear Valley Church 

in Lakewood, Colo. Besides his 

parents, he leaves his wife, Kathy, 

and two daughters Alyssa and 

Lauren. South Dakotans attending 

the service were Ken Miller, 

Penny Dowling and Linda MaGee; 

Gerald and Greg Miller; Don and 

Elaine Miller, son and daughter 

Ron and Sherrie. The community 

extends their deepest sympathy to 

the family. 

Our sympathy goes out to the 

family of Lois Zaugg who passed 

away in Pierre. A memorial service 

was held last Wednesday at 

the Lutheran church in Murdo. 

Monday of last week, Alice 

Horsley took the Weber bus to 

Pierre. She kept a couple of 

appointments and called on Helen 

DeRyk and a little later, Lillian 

Severyn. 

Happy 50th anniversary to former 

Jones County residents 

Grant and Becky (Miller) Myers of 

Urbandale, Iowa. 

It was recently mentioned to 

me that the church sign near the 

highway southwest of Draper is 

missing. Does anyone know of its 

where-abouts? Maybe it disappeared 

when we had that strong 

wind. It names all three churches 

and their times of service. It was 

put there by the children of the 

late Keith and Margaret Louder. 

Now to all the Thanksgiving 

news. Nelva and Janet Louder 

headed for the hills on Wednesday 

in search of turkey! We stopped on 

the way in Kadoka for a visit with 

Dwight Louder and Melford 

Koester. We found the turkey, who 

was being held hostage at the 

home of Don and Cara Pearson. 

Wednesday he had a reprieve as 

we cooked ham. Supper guests 

were Brian and Chelsea Louder; 

Jay Louder; us (of course); the 

Pearson kids: Drew, Calli and 

Dawson; and grandkids Charley, 

Kingston and Aria. Thanksgiving 

Day, the above group, along with 

Tyler Louder and Nick Winkelman 

were there for dinner, supper 

or in between pie time – just some 

of us were there for the whole 

thing. Very nice day, even had to 

open windows. But that evening 

when we left, wow, it was cold – in 

the 20's. Black Friday came and 

went without me; just not my bag. 

We had lunch (leftovers) at the 

Pearsons and then left for home 

stopping in Kadoka at Deanna 

Byrd's and the Stone's. 

Thanksgiving dinner guests of 

Ray and Janice Pike were: Bob 

and Susie Rankin, Tyler and 

Chelsee Rankin, Addison and 

Joey. At suppertime, Andy and Jill 

Rankin, Riley and Peyton; and 

Kati and Drew Venard, Mallory 

and Tenley joined the group. 

Things probably got a little more 

lively by then with six young ones. 

Turkey day dinner guests of 

Mike and Joni Hunt were: Andy 

and Jill Rankin, Riley and Peyton; 

David and Kati Hunt and family; 

Ashley Hunt; Dick Deal of Ft. 

Pierre and daughter Dallas Vos 

and family of Hermosa. 

Brenda and James Murray, 

Sam and Ben of LaCrosse, Wis., 

arrived at mom/grandma Margie 

Boyle's Wednesday evening. The 

group, along with great-grandma 

Rosa Lee Styles, David and 

Robert Styles had Thanksgiving 

dinner at the high school lunch 

room with Joe and Jay. On Friday 

the Murrays, Rosa Lee and 

Margie were in Pierre. They 

viewed the Christmas trees at the 

capitol and spent time at the heritage 

center where the kids got to 

sit on Santa's lap. On Saturday 

the women (kids stayed home 

with daddy) took in a craft fair in 

Belvidere. Back to Murdo they 

stopped in at the baby shower for 

Kylee (Waldron) Mulz and got to 

see baby McKenna. The Murrays 

then left for their Wisconsin 

home. 

Thanksgiving day guests of 

Curt and Janet Miller were: 

Eleanor Miller, Kim and Dan 

Smith, Chris Smith and fiance`, 

Casey and Gavin Miller and Monica 

Reder. I also know Curt turned 

over another year on Monday. 

Happy birthday, Curt. 

Morgan, Dalton, Tanner and 

Nicole Nelson of Canton spent the 

Thanksgiving weekend with 

grandparents Terry and Penny 

Dowling. Penny took them to 

Mitchell on Sunday where they 

met dad Mark and returned 

home. 

Karen Miller and Doug Snider 

were Thanksgiving Day guests of 

Tom and Jen Walsh, MaKenzie 

and Gavin at their Sioux Falls 

home. 

Ken and Carmen Miller went to 

Sioux Falls for Thanksgiving. 

They met daughter Karissa of Des 

Moines and Kia from Vermillion 

at the home of Karissa's fiance`, 

Ben Zimmer. Carmen's brother, 

Jim and Julie Anderson and family 

of Chamberlain, were also 

Thanksgiving Day guests. The 

Miller group stayed over and the 

gals took in Black Friday. I forgot 

to ask if they got any bargains. 

Ron and Donna Kinsley hosted 

Thanksgiving Day for her kids 

and families; Dave and Janice 

Moore; Larry, Lezlie, Lex and 

Lane Moore; all of Vivian, and 

Martha Kinsley. 

Troy and Jody Iversen, Mason 

and Conner of Lismore, Minn., 

were Thanksgiving Day and 

weekend guests of Wanda and

Doug Christian and hired hand 

Mark of Freeman spent the week 

at Lila Mae Christians while 

doing some carpentry work in the 

area. On Thanksgiving Day, the 

trio took in the Joe and Jay dinner. 

Thanksgiving Day guests of 

Fred and Mary Mathews were: 

Monica Mathews; Bruce and 

Anita Mathews, Marissa and 

Bailee; Brady Aberle; and Kevin 

and Elaine Meyers.

Volmer joined family members in 

Rapid City for Thanksgiving dinner. 

Those enjoying the day 

together were: Kim Calkins; Jill 

and David Venard and Kati; Beth 

and Nick Van Dam; Lanny and 

Michele Iwan and family. The 

Volmers returned home on Saturday. 

Kim and Tony Schmidt traveled 

to Aberdeen on Tuesday. They 

spent the nights with Kayla and 

Jeremy Hoag and Sydney. Kim 

kept appointments on Wednesday. 

On turkey day, Jeremy went to 

Philip to hunt and spend time 

with his dad. Jaime Schmidt had 

to work, leaving Kayla, Sydney, 

Kim and Tony for Thanksgiving 

dinner. The Schmidts came home 

later that day. 

Happy anniversary to Kim and 

Tony Schmidt on November 27. 

Jason Seamans of Casper, 

Wyo., is here spending time with 

parents David and Lill. Thanksgiving

Area riders to compete in 

Wrangler National Finals Rodeo 

For the the past 27 years, Las 

Vegas has gone country for 10 days 

in December as the city hosts the 

Wrangler National Finals Rodeo 

where world championships are 

decided. 

This year’s rodeo is December 6- 

15 and will feature 10 nights of the 

best contestants from the Professional 

Rodeo Cowboys Association 

and Women’s Professional Rodeo 

Association. Up for grabs is over 

six million dollars in prize money 

and world championships in bareback 

riding, steer wrestling, team 

roping, saddle bronc riding, tiedown 

roping, women’s barrel racing 

and bull riding. 

South Dakota will be well represented 

with six qualifiers for this 

year’s WNFR. There are two qualifiers 

in saddle bronc riding, Chad 

Ferley, Oelrichs, who won the 

world championship in 2006, and 

Cole Elshere, Faith, who has qualified 

for the first time. Ferley is 

making his sixth appearance at 

the WNFR and will enter the 

rodeo in sixth place with $76,366. 

Elshere is in 13th with $65,837. 

Todd Suhn, Hermosa, has qualified 

for the 16th time in ninth 

place with $66,136. This year’s 

qualification ties him with Byron 

Walker, Ennis, Texas, for the second 

most WNFR qualifications in 

steer wrestling. Roy Duvall, Boynton, 

Okla., is first with 24. 

Representing the barrel racers 

will be Lisa Lockhart, Oelrichs, 

and Nikki Steffes, Vale. Lockhart 

has qualified for the sixth consecutive 

time. She will start the rodeo 

in ninth place with $72,462. This 

is Steffes’ first qualification. She 

started the year with a big win at 

the Fort Worth Stock Show and 

Rodeo and over $10,000 last February. 

Steffes had an outstanding 

college career while attending the 

University of Wyoming where she 

won the women’s national allaround 

title twice. She will be 

attending dental school in the 

future but has put that on hold to 

take advantage of having an outstanding 

horse, Dash Ta Vanilla, 

that she calls “Nilla.” They are in 

sixth place in the regular season 

standings with $86,722. 

Making his second appearance 

in the bull riding will be Timber 

by Pastor Rick Hazen, United Methodist Church, Murdo and Draper 

I love the music of the church 

— especially the Christmas 

music. When I was growing up 

in Volin, SD, all day Saturday 

and every Sunday afternoon 

starting the weekend after 

Thanksgiving, we would begin to 

practice for our Sunday School 

Christmas program. Each child 

had a part — memorized a Bible 

verse to share with the congregation 

— and then the older kids 

were usually the ones who read 

the Christmas story from the 

Gospel of Luke and from the 

Gospel of Matthew while the 

smaller kids acted out the Christmas 

story in costume as angels, 

shepherds, wise men, Mary, and 

Joseph. Sometimes someone’s 

baby played the part of the baby 

Jesus in the manger. While all of 

this was a wonderful part of 

telling the Christmas story and 

why Jesus came into the world, 

the Advent and Christmas music 

we sang always touched me 

deeply. It still does. 

Some of my Christmas Carol 

favorites are “Hark the Herald 

Angels Sing,” “O Come, All Ye 

Faithful,” “God Rest Ye Merry 

Gentlemen,” “O Little Town of 

Bethlehem,” “Joy to the World,” 

and “Silent Night.” Advent 

favorites for me are “O Come, O 

Come, Emmanuel,” and one that 

I learned in seminary, “People, 

Look East.” Another favorite of 

mine is “In the Bleak Midwinter” 

Lake’s Ardie Maier. Maier qualified 

in 2010, but injuries kept him 

from making the trip in 2011. This 

year he is in sixth place in the 

world standings with $90,191. 

To compete at the WNFR, contestants 

had to be among the top 

15 in the world standings. They 

traveled across the United States 

paying their own entry fees and 

expenses hoping to earn enough 

money to be among the elite athletes 

who advance to rodeo’s championship 

event. The WNFR has 

seen continued growth in prize 

money and fan support since it 

moved to Las Vegas. Each contestant 

will compete in 10 individual 

rounds which will pay the winner 

$18,257. On December 15 their 

total scores and times will be 

added together for average placings. 

First place in that category 

will win $46,820 and a saddle as 

the WNFR champion. 

World championships are determined 

by adding a contestant’s 

WNFR and regular season earnings 

together. Those champions 

have the esteemed honor of wearing 

the traditional gold buckle that 

signifies they are the world’s best 

in the sport of rodeo. 

Jess Tierney, Hermosa, sits 

12th in the all-around standing. 

He qualified for the steer roping by 

taking the seventh place spot. The 

National Finals Steer Roping, held 

separately from the WNFR, was 

November 8-9 in Guthrie, Okla. 

Seizing the Hope Set 

Before Us ... Heb 6:18 

— especially the third verse. It 

touches me and reminds me that 

Jesus Christ is my number one 

priority every day: “What can I 

give him, poor as I am? If I were 

a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; 

if I were a Wise Man, I would do 

my part; yet what I can I give 

him: give my heart.” I also like 

the Harry Simeone Chorale 

arrangement of “The Little 

Drummer Boy.” 

One secular Christmas Carol I 

really enjoy is “Frosty the Snowman” 

with the arrangement sung 

by the Ray Coniff Singers. For 

those of you who have computers 

— go on the Internet sometime 

and type-in “Ray Coniff Singers 

Frosty the Snowman,” then play 

the video. Ray Coniff was quite 

creative in his arrangements of 

not only secular carols but religious 

Christmas Carols. 

Know that Christmas isn’t 

about “Black Friday” with parents 

going into hock the rest of 

the year for all the Christmas 

presents they bought their kids 

— even though the kids still love 

playing with the boxes once the 

gifts are unwrapped. Christmas 

isn’t even about elves, reindeer, a 

little red sleigh, a bag of toys, or 

Santa Claus coming down the 

chimney. It isn’t about the Christmas 

lights decorating our houses 

so Santa can find our homes. We 

decorate houses, churches, and 

businesses with the lights 

because we affirm that “Jesus 

Christ is the Light of the 

World.” It’s His birthday and 

Jesus Christ is still the “reason 

for the season.” 

Don’t be in such a hurry to 

take your Christmas tree down 

— December 25th is just the 

beginning of the Christmas 

Season and lasts until January 

6th, the first day of Epiphany 

which celebrates the Wise Men 

who, after seeing “His Star in 

the East, [came] to worship 

Him.” We begin with a new year 

in the church on December 2nd 

— the First Sunday of Advent 

— as we anticipate the Second 

Coming of Christ, not as He 

came the first time as a tiny 

baby in a manger in Bethlehem, 

but the Second Time, as the 

risen and ascended Lord Jesus 

Christ, who will come on clouds 

of glory where every eye will see 

Him. 

“…Fear not: for, behold, I 

bring you good tidings of great 

joy, which shall be to all people. 

For unto you is born this day in 

the city of David a Saviour, 

which is Christ the Lord.” 

In your anticipation of the 

coming again of Jesus Christ, 

may you discover the true 

meaning of Christmas and, may 

you and yours have a “Happy 

New Church Year, a Blessed 

Advent, and a Merry Christmas.”

Two Minutes With the Bible 

What Grace Is 

by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam 

Never let the devil deceive you into supposing that God planned sin as “a gracious means to a glorious end,” for then salvation from sin would be simple 

justice, not grace. No, you cannot legitimately charge God with your sin. It is to the guilty, the undeserving, far and wide, that God offers “the forgiveness 

of sins according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7). 

There are two significant phrases in Eph. 2 which shed clear light upon the character, the nature, of grace. They are found in Verses 2 and 3, which 

speak of the unsaved as “children [Gr., huiois, full-grown sons] of disobedience” and “children [Gr., tekna, born ones] of wrath.” 

Meditate for a moment on these phrases: “Children of disobedience” and “children of wrath.”It is against this dark, black background of deserved 

wrath, that we read further: 

“BUT GOD, who is RICH IN MERCY, for His GREAT LOVE wherewith He loved us,

“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us [given us life] together with Christ (BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED), 

“And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 

“That in the ages to come He might show THE EXCEEDING RICHES OF HIS GRACE IN HIS KINDNESS TOWARD US THROUGH CHRIST 

JESUS” (Eph. 2:4-7). 

Somehow it takes a load off one’s heart and mind to come to the end of his rope, as it were, and admit that he is a sinner, deserving God’s wrath. How 

sweet to the ears of such is the wonderful message of redemption by grace, through the finished work of Christ at Calvary. We were all the “children [fullgrown 

sons] of disobedience”: and therefore “by nature the children [born ones] of wrath”: “But God!” When hope seemed gone, He intervened and now 

offers salvation to all by grace, through faith. 

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).

Flying through her senior year, Venard prepares for future, enlists in the US Air Force 

By Nicki Kell 

How well do you know Paige 

Venard? Paige Venard, a senior at 

Jones County and daughter of Ed 

and Deb Venard, has one sister, 

Courtney, and three younger 

brothers, Connor, Austin, and 

Reed. She has participated in volleyball, 

basketball, track, jazz 

choir, two years of basketball 

cheerleading, shooting sports, 4-H 

and Messiah Lutheran YBC Youth 

Group. 

Basketball is Paige’s favorite 

sport, along with other favorites 

the color green, pizza and the 

movies Bolt and Rugrats The 

Movie. Venard’s favorite song is 

“Merry Go ‘Round” by Kacey Musgraves 

and her favorite TV show is 

Pretty Little Liars or Friends. 

You can see Paige reading all of 

the Nicholas Sparks books or the 

Pretty Little Liar Series and wearing 

Fox clothing. Venard loves riding 

her dirt bike, prairie dog hunting, 

shooting her guns and 

babysitting in her spare time. 

Christmas is Venard’s favorite 

holiday because “the whole family 

is home and together happily.” 

Ashley Fiolek, the fastest woman 

motocross racer who is also deaf, 

would be Paige’s famous person of 

choice to meet because “she overcame 

her disability to excel in 

what she loves.” 

Venard admires her mom 

because she has taught her countless 

valuable life lessons, is

First time voters impressed 

with new voting privilege 

by Emiley Nies 

As another sign of reaching 

maturity, on Tuesday, November 6 

government teacher JayTee Sealey 

took the seniors and went to the 

Murdo Auditorium to vote for the 

first time, but only a few were able 

to participate because of their 

ages. 

Wyatt Hespe, Paige Venard, 

Kyle Manke and Emiley Nies were 

old enough to vote. Wyatt Hespe 

said, “I didn’t think my vote even 

mattered, because Romney won 

the popular vote, but the electoral 

vote said otherwise.” The Tuesday 

before voting, Paige Venard 

brought a sample ballot from the 

court house, so the class could see 

the layout of a ballot. Venard volunteered 

to get the ballot because 

Mr. Sealey told her that she could 

have ten extra bonus points. 

After the students read over the 

referendum laws they had a better 

idea of what they were voting on. 

The new voters said that they felt 

good about sharing in one of the 

privileges of living in a free country.

Students traveled to Kadoka to 

participate in the Region VII High 

School Vocal Festival. The students 

went for a day of singing and 

a break from school. Fewer JC students 

attended than in previous 

years because they were given the 

choice of participating or not. 

Director of the chorus Andrea 

Elwess was accompanied by 

Trisha Bork. According to Paige 

Venard, “The director was a genius 

and knew what she was doing.” 

The singers were rewarded with a 

piece of candy if they could remember 

the terms she taught them. A 

few things they learned about 

were the muscles that help people 

sing and how to use them correctly 

to get the best sound possible. 

“Stand by Me, And This Shall 

Be For Music, Homeward Bound” 

by Marta Keen, “The Rhythm of 

Life, Dreams of Thee” and “Sing 

For Peace” composed by Jim 

Papoulis and Francisco J. Nunez, 

were sung at the concert. Skylar 

Green’s favorite song was “Sing 

For Peace” because “We added 

drums to it, and it was just a fun 

song.” The performance later that 

night was well done and was 

enjoyable for the students and the 

audience. 

extremely caring and works hard 

to achieve her goals. If she had to 

choose what is least important to 

her out of money, power, or fame, 

she said, “All three are least 

important to my life because I’d 

rather be happy and living my life 

than rich or famous.” 

Her biggest fear is failure 

because she doesn’t want to live 

her life doing nothing valuable, 

and feet because “they just gross 

me out.” What makes Paige angry, 

you might wonder? Paige gets 

upset when people don’t listen and 

are immature. She regrets not 

working to her potential her freshmen 

year which affected her not 

getting into NHS her sophomore 

year. 

Venard values her family the 

most because “they have always 

been here for me and they are a 

huge part of my life.” If she could 

be anything she wanted, she 

By Becky Bryan 

Advanced biology students 

entered a new phase of biology— 

scouting out spots to find bacteria 

and then growing the bacteria in 

petri dishes. This activity proves 

that Mom was right... "Wash your 

hands with soap and warm water!" 

Students ventured into common 

areas of the school, tech room and 

auditorium swabbing and betting 

each other about places they think 

they will find bacteria samples to 

grow. After only a couple of days, 

the class began to see the magic 

happen—bacteria in multiple 

forms began to appear in the petri 

dishes. Each bacteria assumed the 

pattern of growth for its particular 

type. 

Most of the class agree that the 

grossest place is the shower drain 

from the old boys’ locker room. 

Other points of interest included 

the top of the hand sanitizer bottles, 

water fountains, locker doors, 

piano keys, calculators, vending 

machine buttons and a student’s 

cap which produced black mold. 

Senior Janna Glaze said, “I 

would be a happy person living the 

dream life of a professional dirt 

bike racer and a professional .22 

CMP shooter. 

Given three wishes, Paige 

would wish to be happy forever, to 

cure all cancers and terminally life 

threatening diseases, and to end 

all violence, world hunger, and 

poverty. Her biggest lesson that 

she has learned from Dr. Heath 

Weber from the Ambassadors of 

Excellence Program, is to “be yourself, 

do what you love, and don’t let 

anybody stand in your way. People 

will judge you, but just stay true to 

yourself. Live your heart out so 

you live with no regrets.” 

Once Venard graduates she will 

miss being with her friends every 

day, living with her parents, and 

her cat Snickers, but she would 

advise underclassmen to “have fun 

in high school, enjoy it, it goes by 

extremely fast! But work hard and 

can’t believe how dirty objects 

around our school are. It makes 

me want to scrub the whole 

school.” Of course, students also 

know that no matter where they 

be involved!” 

Sporting events, dances, her 

classmate’s humor and the invitational 

tournament activities are 

some of Paige’s best memories of 

high school. When considering her 

biggest achievement, she says 

enlisting in the United States Air 

Force because she wants to graduate 

knowing her high school career 

is over and that she is mentally 

ready for the next step in her life. 

The best part about being a senior 

to Paige is “feeling pride in 

knowing how far I’ve come as a 

student and person. I’m ready to 

unfold a new chapter of my life 

and to become my true self.” 

Venard’s plans after high school 

include going into the Air Force 

and becoming a medic or a child 

care worker. In ten years she sees 

herself living happily on an Air 

Force base in Elmendorf, Alaska or 

Germany with children and a husband.

Thanksgiving means 

dreams of food, family, travel 

By Ryan Kirscher 

Lots of people are looking forward 

to seeing their friends and 

spending time with their family on 

Thanksgiving along with eating 

lots of food. 

To celebrate Thanksgiving 

teacher Jody Gittings usually goes 

to his parents’ house. His favorite 

things include pumpkin pie with 

whipped cream and seeing his 

family. Cody Manke loves to go to 

his dad’s house to eat pumpkin pie 

with cool whip and see his relatives. 

Jessie Harrison likes to 

spend Thanksgiving at her house 

enjoying mashed potatoes and 

gravy and being with her family. 

Counselor Andrea Diehm enjoys 

going either to Presho to spend 

time with her husband’s side of the 

family or to Nebraska and spend 

time with hers. Her favorite holiday 

dish is sweet potato casserole. 

Teacher JayTee Sealey likes to 

either stay home with family or 

travel to his parents’ house for 

turkey and dressing. His favorite 

part about Thanksgiving is spending 

time with his family. 

Katy Manke helps at the annual 

Thanksgiving feast in the school 

lunch room serving food and cleaning 

up. She sometimes goes to her 

grandma’s house so she can spend 

time with both sides of her family. 

Her favorite foods are her Aunt 

Earlene’s ham, corn, and mashed 

potatoes with gravy. She also likes 

spending time with her family and 

getting to see her relatives that 

live far away. Carole Benda usually 

stays home for the festival 

enjoying her favorite stuffing and 

seeing her cousins. 

Kaylen Larsen goes many different 

places, sometimes to her 

house, her dad’s, or her other relative’s 

houses. She loves to have 

pumpkin pie and enjoys all the 

good food. Skyler Miller goes to his 

family’s cabin out in the Black 

Hills where he eats turkey along 

with his grandma’s grape jelly 

salad. Being around family that he 

doesn’t usually see is his favorite 

part. 

Teacher Katie Venard and her 

family enjoy going to her parents’ 

house and hanging up Christmas 

lights. This year she is going to her 

grandma’s new house in Rapid 

City. She loves everything about 

Thanksgiving especially hanging 

up Christmas lights with her dad 

and sisters. She said, “We all put 

our vests on to do it like the 

Griswalds do in the movie.” 

I, Ryan, usually either stay 

home or go to my uncle’s, but this 

year my mom and I are going to 

my brother’s house in Huron. My 

favorite foods are stuffing, turkey 

and ham, and mashed potatoes 

with gravy. My favorite part about 

Thanksgiving is getting to see my 

brother and the food.

With volleyball and football, the 

time left for learning a play was 

limited. The cast of twenty-two 

students pulled off the comedy “A 

Bad Hair Day” by R. Eugene Jackson. 

The play was set outside 

Jones County High where many 

students’ lives were interrupted. 

Hilda Von Dandruff (Becky Bryan) 

and her three sidekicks Franz 

(Madison Mathews), Fritz (Philip 

Mathews) and Shultz (Kyle 

Manke) gave the students a sample 

of her “tingly bubbly new hair 

shampoo and conditioner” which 

actually made the hair fall out. 

Mattie (Paige Venard), Belma 

(Carol Drayer), Pearson (Travis 

Grablander), and Stinky (Kalli 

Hespe) were the only four students 

who didn’t fall into the trap and 

lose their hair. The students frantically 

ran around looking for ways 

to buy the hair restorer for $2,000: 

they planned to rob a bank until 

Mattie, a chemistry whiz, used her 

solution analyzer to find out what 

was in the restorer. They found out 

that it was basically mud. The students 

started to rage and wanted 

revenge on Dandruff and her three 

lackeys. 

In the second act Detective 

Clanahanan (Josh Daum) and 

Detective Hulahan (Skyler Miller) 

were called to the scene to investigate 

and see if they could lock up 

Dandruff and her lackeys for 

fraud. Dandruff tried to lock up 

the students and used Mattie as a

demonstration to show what 

would happen if they used the 

shampoo, but they got away when 

the raging students came back for 

the restorer. 

The detectives convinced Pearson, 

Belma and Stink to help catch 

the frauds in the act. Mattie used 

her analyzer to prove that the 

solution was a clever concoction of 

Nair, and the restorer was only 

mud, which gave them enough 

proof to put the bad guys behind 

bars. As the play ended, Dandruff

Hespe share a picnic table as the play begins. 

was put behind bars after students 

used her concoction to make her 

bald so they could prove what her 

solutions really did to people. 

Second Grader Jayden Jensen 

said her favorite part of the play 

was when Shultz was crying 

because his dog wasn’t fluffy any 

more. “My favorite character was 

Stinky, because he used Raid as 

deodorant and tooth paste for 

shampoo,” said Fourth Grader Ty 

Fuoss. 

Dylan Iwan said he can’t wait 

until he can be in the play because 

he loves performing. 

Sophomore Madison Mathews 

who played Franz loved all the 

hair and make-up for the play, and 

her favorite part was when Clark 

(Wyatt Walker) felt Flora’s (Nicki 

Kell) hair and it fell out. 

This will be the last play directed 

by Lorrie Esmay and Deb 

Venard with new directors Katie 

Venard and Beth Van Dam taking 

over the project. 

Bad hair bunch… Philip Mathews, Madison Mathews, Kyle 

Manke and Becky Bryan make dastardly plots to dehair the 

whole school so they can sell their expensive hair restorer.



Motion catches the eye. Which 

of us hasn’t been trailing cattle 

across the prairie only to have 

your attention drawn to a coyote 

streaking away to safer quarters? 

Maybe instead it was a deer or 

rabbit bouncing away or a grouse 

flying up right in front of you. 

Even if you’ve never trailed cattle 

or been on a horse, the same principle 

applies to just taking a walk 

or driving down the road. If something 

moves, you tend to see it. 

What’s more, once you’ve 

noticed something in motion, you 

might continue to gaze at it if it’s 

interesting. Lots of times I’ve 

paused to look at deer leaping 

over fences. They’re quite graceful 

and enjoyable to watch. Rabbits 

playing in the yard are similar. 

They often race around play- 

ing tag, or they might jump 

straight up into the air as if 

scared to death which they aren’t. 

They’re just having fun. A horse 

running full tilt is pleasing to see 

as well—strength and grace all at 

the same time. Little calves gamboling 

about in the springtime are 

nifty too. 

People are often fun to observe, 

and sometimes I have trouble not 

staring. That is supposedly impolite. 

Have you even noticed that 

young men tend to strut a bit, 

especially those of the cowboy persuasion? 

Dress a young fellow in 

cowboy boots, spurs, jeans, cowboy 

shirt and hat, and they’re apt 

to strut. Other times they 

saunter and act really cool. 

Noticing either can bring a smile 

to my face. 

Proper disposal of deer 

carcass important part of hunt 

Deer hunters have enjoyed mild 

weather and beautiful scenery this 

fall, but successful hunts also 

bring a responsibility to care for 

the landscape. 

“Mission accomplished, your 

deer is dressed and ready for 

transportation, but there is still 

cleanup to take care of,” said 

Emmett Keyser, assistant director 

for the Game, Fish and Parks Division 

of Wildlife. “Now you have a 

large gut pile, and if you process 

the deer yourself, you’ll have legs, 

hide, bones and other leftovers to 

discard. How do you handle those 

remains?” 

Keyser said the answer begins 

with respect for the land and 

landowners. 

“Hunters hunting on private 

land should never assume they are 

OK to leave offal and other 

remains from big game in the field. 

Discuss it with the landowner 

before starting your hunt. He may 

be comfortable with scavengers 

cleaning up the gut pile, but then 

again he may ask that you leave 

no trace of your hunt behind,” 

Keyser said. 

Never leave cleanings from a 

Lookin’ Around 

• Syd Iwan • 

big game hunt where people can 

see them. 

While it is permissible to fielddress 

deer on public hunting areas 

and leave cleanings, leaving deer 

carcasses near boat ramps, along 

roads or dumping them at public 

hunting areas is not only unethical 

but illegal. 

“Legally, you cannot dump the 

carcass along the side of a roadway, 

near a boat ramp, in a creek 

or on public property,” Keyser said. 

“This is criminal littering, and you 

can be cited for it. Sometimes, people 

think it is OK to dump the carcass 

because it is an animal, but it 

is considered littering.” 

Dumping deer carcasses in that 

manner also reflects poorly on 

hunters. 

If you live in town and need to 

dispose of your deer carcass, you 

do have options. 

Many communities allow disposal 

at landfills. Check with your 

local landfill to see if it is allowed, 

and if it is, how best to bag the 

remains for disposal. 

Another option for hunters is to 

have big game processed through a 

wildlife processing facility. 

Then you have the graceful people. 

They move as if doing some 

kind of slow dance. Women are a 

bit better at this than men, but 

some men have an easy grace as 

well. I remember noticing a 

young fellow shinny up a tall 

auger one day. He did it quickly 

and effortlessly. I just stared in 

appreciation at the strength and 

agility that allowed him to do it. 

How about watching kids on a 

playground? They’re apt to be 

running, jumping, chasing each 

other, screaming, laughing and 

having such a grand time. It 

helps one to remember that it’s 

okay to have fun from time to 

time. Sometimes we forget how to 

do that and need a reminder. 

This is not to say that all motion 

is attractive. Take slithering, for 

example. Unless you are a major 

fan of snakes, you might not care 

for slithering. Snakes tend to 

creep me out so noticing their 

movement does nothing for me 

except to send me running for a 

hoe to behead them and stop them 

from moving ever again. My 

moves in killing snakes might not 

be that great to examine either 

since they are apt to be hard and 

fast and perhaps with just a touch 

of loathing or maybe a dram or 

two of panic. 

Crab-like locomotion is somewhat 

disturbing too. Why can’t 

those that use it walk straight like 

everyone else? Fluttering, of 

course, can occasionally get on 

your nerves such as when millers 

circle repeatedly around a light or 

in your face. You usually just 

want to shout, “Stop that!” If they 

don’t, you may be somewhat prone 

to grabbing a swatter or newspaper 

and making them quit. 

Some people enjoy seeing objects 

travel at high speeds such as you 

might find at the NASCAR races. 

It doesn’t do much for me, either 

when seeing it or doing it. It’s fine 

with airplanes since they need a 

certain amount of forward movement 

to keep themselves from 

dropping out of the sky. Vehicles 

don’t have that rationale. I recall 

a few years ago when I drove 95 

MPH for about 15 miles on the 

freeway trying to keep up with an 

ambulance containing my son and 

wife. Going that fast made me 

decidedly nervous. I wasn’t used 

to it. After a bit I decided I’d 

rather get to the hospital safely 

than not at all and slowed down to 

more manageable levels. Since 

then, I’ve been fairly content with 

the 75 MPH freeway speed limit 

with occasional downhill bursts to 

78. 

Anyway, to get the full effect of 

my hypothesis that motion 

attracts the eye, you probably 

should go outside now and sit on 

the porch or deck for a bit. I’d bet 

you will mostly look at things that 

are moving such as birds in the 

air, vehicles driving close by or in 

the distance, floating clouds, 

grass rippling in the breeze, people 

and critters moving about, and 

the like. Sometimes it’s fun to 

just sit and watch the world go by. 

Give it a try. You might like it.

NAP NOTICE OF LOSS 

AND PRODUCTION 

When a crop is affected by a 

natural disaster, producers must 

notify the FSA office where their 

farm records are maintained and 

complete Part B, (the Notice of 

Loss portion) of Form CCC-576, 

Notice of Loss and Application for 

Payment. This must be completed 

within 15 calendar days of the natural 

disaster occurrence or the 

date the damage to the crop or loss 

of production became apparent. 

Producers must annually provide 

(if not appraised) the quantity 

of all harvested production of the 

crop in which the producer held an 

interest during the crop year. We 

will be sending out the “NAP 

Yields” form which lists your acres 

and a spot for you to record your 

production. The deadline for 

reporting this production is not 

until July 15, 2013 but report the 

production now while the records 

are handy and newly calculated. 

Jones County has paid out more 

than $410,000 in NAP due to the 

drought. A majority of this was 

grazing payments which were 

bought with a $250 application 

fee. For 2012 grazing only, the 

payments are based on multiplying 

native grass acres by $3.83, 

tame grass acres by $7.66, and 

alfalfa grass acres by $11.26. 

March 15 is the deadline for purchasing 

this insurance for 2013.

SURE PROGRAM SIGN-UP 

OPENED OCTOBER 22, 2012 

Producers who suffered crop 

losses due to natural disasters 

during the 2011 crop year can sign 

up for the Supplemental Revenue 

Assistance Payments (SURE) program 

beginning October 22. The 

SURE program is authorized 

under the 2008 Farm Bill, allowing 

payments to be made to qualifying 

producers who suffered losses 

through September 30, 2011. 

Losses occurring after that date 

do not qualify. Farmers and 

ranchers interested in signing up 

must do so before the June 7, 2013 

deadline. 

Jones County was not declared 

a disaster by the US Secretary of 

Agriculture for 2011. To be eligible 

for the SURE Program, your 

whole operation (all crops and all 

farms) needs to have suffered a 50 

percent loss.

According to the South Dakota 

Secretary of State website, 

sdsos.gov, Jones County reported 

an 82.93 percent voter turnout, 

which was good enough to be the 

highest voter turnout in South 

Dakota. 

Jones County has three 

precincts, number one, Okaton, 

number three, Murdo, and number 

five, Draper. 

Both Okaton and Murdo 

precincts voted in the Murdo Auditorium,

Public meeting seeks to solve inadequate 

housing issues in small S.D. communities 

by Karlee Barnes 

On Monday, November 5, the 

Murdo Area Chamber of Commerce 

partnered with the South 

Central RC&D to sponsor a public 

meeting to discuss inadequate 

housing in small communities, 

such as Murdo. 

A panel of speakers from federal, 

state and local agencies with 

housing programs presented information 

and insights on what the 

community can do to overcome the 

housing issues it currently faces. 

They also were able to discuss 

some ways to encourage community 

improvemen through programs 

such as Paint South Dakota. 

Speakers included: Mark 

Lauseng, Executive Director for 

the South Dakota Housing Development 

Authority; Roger Jacobs, 

Field Office Director for Housing 

and Urban Development (HUD); 

Greg Henderson, Executive Director 

for Planning and Development brochures and answers questions from Ray Erikson.

Reducing Wind Erosion 

Seeing local crop fields that suffered 

from wind erosion during the 

high winds in late-October seems 

mild compared to the dust bowl 

days of the dirty thirties, recently 

portrayed in the PBS documentary, 

“The Dust Bowl.” If you 

missed the documentary, premiered 

November 18 and 19, 2012 

on PBS, you can download it from 

iTunes, and/or read about, view 

pictures and video clips on the 

PBS website: http://www.pbs. 

org/kenburns/dustbowl/. 

The question was raised in the 

documentary, and occasionally in 

discussions, could it happen 

again? The general feeling is, 

thanks to conservation practices 

that have been applied, the advent 

of no-till farming practices, and 

Extension News 

• Bob Fanning (605) 842-1267 • 

other advances, certainly not to 

the scale that it did in the 30’s. In 

localized areas, however, wind erosion 

can be severe, lower soil productivity 

and increase the costs of 

producing crops. 

Wind erosion physically 

removes the most fertile part of 

the soil (organic matter, clay, and 

silt). Blowing soil can reduce 

seedling survival and growth, 

depress crop yields, and increase 

the susceptibility of plants to certain 

types of stress, including diseases. 

Wind erosion also adversely 

affects people not directly connected 

to the land, by polluting the air, 

filling road ditches, deteriorating 

water quality, causing automobile 

accidents, and many other problems. 

Although the 2012 drought has 

left few options available to farmers 

with little or no residue on crop 

fields, over the long term, there 

are three main practices that have 

been identified to reduce wind erosion. 

Reduce the wind velocity at the 

soil surface. Wind speed as low as 

6 mph one foot above the soil surface 

can start the movement of soil 

particles with highly erodible field 

conditions (smooth, bare, loose, 

dry and finely granulated particles). 

Wind speed increasing from 

20 mph to 30 mph triples the rate 

of erosion. Wind velocity at the soil 

surface can be reduced with windbreaks, 

crop residue, cover crops, 

surface roughness and strip cropping. 

Maintaining crop residue on the 

soil surface and/or ridging or 

roughing the soil surface will trap 

moving soil particles and reduce 

erosion. The smallest soil particles 

can be lifted from the soil surface, 

suspended, and carried many 

miles before falling. Larger particles 

can be dislodged and moved 

across the soil surface in a bouncing 

or jumping manner, often dislodging 

other particles from the 

surface, causing a cumulative 

effect. 

Finally, increasing the size of 

soil aggregates requires a stronger 

wind to move soil and cause soil 

erosion. The size of soil aggregates 

can be increased by using crop 

rotations that include grasses and 

legumes, growing high-residue 

crops and returning the residue to 

the soil, or leaving it on the soil 

surface, applying manure, and 

reducing or eliminating tillage. If 

wind erosion is occurring, and/or 

conditions are such that the occurrence 

seems inevitable, emergency 

tillage can bring large, stable clods 

to the soil surface if soil moisture 

and texture allow it.

The leaky urine problem 

The Clinical View 

• Dr. P.E. Hoffsten • 

The lady was in her early 40’s and 

came to the clinic for a periodic 

review of her thyroid medication. 

That was easily dealt with and then 

she mentioned that she had an additional 

problem she was almost too 

embarrassed to talk about. It 

seemed that she was having increasing 

problems with urinary leakage. 

She described an event where she 

was at the front door of the house 

trying to unlock the door. She had 

already waited too long with a full 

bladder while shopping. Now at the 

front door fumbling with the lock, 

she simply lost control completely 

and wet herself. She said that she 

was so relived that there was no on 

else around. On further discussion, 

it seemed as though she had similar 

problems developing over the past 

year or so. She described being chided 

by her daughters because after 

supper while rinsing dishes in the 

sink, she would suddenly have to go 

to the bathroom. Her daughters 

were saying that she was trying to 

dodge dish duty. She was not having 

nighttime wetting and there was not 

a constant slow leak. She wondered 

what she could do to relieve the 

increasing anxiety that was coming 

from this urge incontinence. She was 

starting to avoid social situations 

because of the potential embarrassment. 

Step one was to ensure that there 

was nothing more than “urge incontinence”. 

She was a mother of two. 

Both deliveries had been cesarean 

section. Her bowel habit was maintained 

normally. A urinalysis was 

done and was normal without evidence 

of infection. She was still having 

normal menstrual cycles and 

sexually activity was comfortable. 

There were no other neurologic 

symptoms. An x-ray of her lower 

abdomen did not indicate the presence 

of a stone in her bladder. Blood 

tests did not indicate the presence of 

kidney abnormalities. 

With all of the above information 

she was instructed that she had 

“urge incontinence” which is not necessarily 

indicative of a surgical problem. 

Specifically, she was active in 

an exercise class twice a week and 

had no problems with incontinence 

there. She did “leak a little”. 

With all of the above information, 

she had a return visit and the following 

plan was outlined: 

1. She was avoiding drinking fluids 

so she wouldn’t have to urinate 

so often. Thus her urine was unusually 

concentrated. She was instructed 

to drink more fluids to dilute out 

her urine, Concentrated urine is a 

bladder irritant by itself and can 

cause the urge incontinence. 

2. She described being a “strong 

coffee” drinker. She was instructed 

that the caffeine in coffee and other 

carbonated beverages can act as a 

bladder irritant by itself. Cutting 

down on coffee maybe a fair trade to 

avoid the urge incontinence. 

3. Excessive weight has so many 

bad things about it that a list would 

take a book by itself. Urge incontinence 

is improved by weight reduction. 

Excessive weight is such a universal 

problem that it seemed an 

unlikely place to focus effort. 

4. Most people don’t think about 

urinating on a schedule but this is 

one of the steps that was suggested 

to her. An average individual urinates 

approximately a quart and a 

half of urine per day. This is 

achieved through an average of six 

to eight trips to the bathroom per 

day. It was recommended to her that 

she practice urinating every two 

hours whether she needed to or not. 

Most importantly urinate before 

leaving home for shopping or other 

activities. Lastly do not pass up 

bathrooms along the way when out 

and about. Find and use a bathroom 

before leaving for home. 

5. It was recommended that she 

try the above steps first. She was 

told there did not appear to be 

anatomical abnormality that 

required surgery. But she was told 

that there is a medication that can 

be tried if the above 4 steps are 

unsuccessful. There is a family of 

medications that will “tighten up” 

the bladder opening so that the person 

has more control. These medications 

also relax the bladder so it does

not spasm when the urge to urinate 

occurs. She indicated she would like 

to have the prescription available to 

try if she wanted to and that was 

provided. 

She had a follow-up visit about a 

month later. At that time she volunteered 

that she liked her coffee and 

just didn’t want to give it up. She 

said that she was a very busy individual, 

supervising an office. She 

said that she just didn’t have time 

during the day to remember to urinate 

on schedule and that wasn’t 

working. Drinking more fluids to 

have to urinate more often was just 

not acceptable to her. 

So she tried the pill and that 

seems to have solved the problem. 

She indicated that she tried the nonpharmacologic 

methods for about a 

week and while she had no accidents, 

she “didn’t want to think 

about all that”. But when she started 

the pill about three weeks ago, 

the problem of urge incontinence 

was solved. She wanted to continue 

that. I inquired about side effects 

and she volunteered that her mouth 

was slightly dry but she could deal 

with that part through coffee and 

Coca Cola. Fortunately, she had no 

major constipation problems as can 

sometimes occur with the pills used 

for incontinence. If that should 

occur, the use of a laxative such as 

Senokot S can usually solve the constipation 

problem. It does bruise a 

healthcare professionals pride to 

prescribe a pill to treat a side effect 

of another pill but sometimes that is 

a solution patients choose. 

The healthcare professionals at 

your local clinic are aware of the urinary 

incontinence problems and all 

of the various causes that may lead 

to such. Urge incontinence is the 

most common. Stress incontinence is 

the second most common. With 

stress incontinence, the person leaks 

a little when they laugh or strain as 

in exercise. This is a separate consideration 

and sometimes requires surgery. 

Less frequently, more serious 

problems such as Parkinson’s disease, 

a stroke, or multiple sclerosis 

are much more difficult problems in 

dealing with urinary incontinence 

and may require specialty care. 

Kathy Voth trains cows to eat weeds; Road 

Show to be held in Murdo December 4 

South Dakota Grassland Coalition, 

and with South Central 

RC&D and Badlands/South Central 

Enterprise Facilitation, will 

be sponsoring Kathy Voth in 

Murdo on Tuesday, December 4. 

Her presentation will be from 

10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the 

Senior Citizen’s Center in Murdo. 

Lunch will be served. Please RSVP 

to Jewell Bork at 669-2222 for 

meal preparation purposes. 

Kathy Voth has a passion for 

helping communities, farmers, 

ranchers and land managers find 

avenues to be profitable and sustainable 

in their environment. In 

2004, she founded Livestock for 

Landscapes. 

For more than a decade, Kathy 

has researched and worked with 

livestock as a land management 

tool. She has successfully trained 

cattle to eat weeds as part of an 

overall grazing program for 

numerous projects. 

Kathy believes that animals are 

a good solution for weed management, 

so she decided that if cattle 

ranchers weren’t interested in 

goats or sheep, she’d figure out 

how to turn their cattle into weed 

managers. Using discoveries made

by researchers at Utah State University, 

and decades of animal 

behavior studies, she put together 

a very logical set of steps for teaching 

cows to eat weeds. 

During Kathy’s presentations, 

she’ll share her knowledge and 

provide tips to help producers 

make landscape managers out of 

their livestock. 

Kathy takes her audience 

through the behavior science 

behind the training process and 

the training steps themselves as 

well as what we know about using 

our new tool (effectiveness, animal 

health and productivity, economics, 

etc.). The presentation 

includes lots of video of animals at 

work, interviews with ranchers 

whose animals have learned to eat 

weeds, and answers all the questions 

asked about the process over 

the last seven years. 

Kathy has worked on projects in 

California, Colorado, Oregon and 

Montana, and will soon be headed 

to Vermont. 

Jan Kluver from Ranch 

Resources in Sheridan, Mont., said 

of the method, “It’s so easy and it 

doesn’t take that much time out of 

your day. I don’t know why more 

19 

people aren’t doing it.” 

Some of the weeds cows have 

been trained to eat include: Thistles, 

such as Canada, Musk, Italian, 

Russian, Distaff, Bull, Sow, 

Milk and Stotch; knapweeds; and 

others, such as mustards, blackberry, 

cactus, Canada goldenrod, 

poison oak, poison ivy, purple 

starthistle, ragweed, sunflower, 

wormwood, sagewort and yucca. 

Some of the benefits of weedeating 

cows are as follows: Weeds 

provide great nutrition. Most 

weeds are the equivalent of alfalfa 

or better. So weed-eating cattle 

gain weight at or above expected 

rates and breed back normally. 

Once cows are weed eaters, you 

aren’t limited to traditional forages. 

Kathy Voth will give her presention 

at theses different locations: 

on Monday, December 3 at Woolley's 

Western Grill in Hot Springs, 

Wednesday, December 5 at the 

AmericaInn in Chamberlain as 

part of the South Dakota Grassland 

Coalition's Annual meeting 

and on Thursday, December 6 on

repairs and one from Curt Chambliss to 

build a shed. These permits were 

approved pending review by City 

employees concerning set backs. One 

other permit was submitted with a variance 

and would be reviewed later in the 

meeting after contacting someone for 

questions. 

The public area was opened at this time. 

Tim Hullinger came to council to ask 

about the road on the curve north of his 

house and whose responsibility it was to 

maintain that. He was concerned with 

the washboards and the standing of the 

water in the curve. He also mentioned 

the hill to the south of his home being in 

need of gravel. The city will talk to the 

county and figure out an agreement for 

that maintenance. 

Wayne Klima came to council to discuss 

what drainage repairs were going to be 

made in the alley behind his home. 

Council told Mr. Klima what they had 

ordered culvert to divert the above water 

underground. He expressed his concerns 

on alley height, sewer and area 

drainage and council assured him they 

would review all of these before installation. 

The vouchers for the month were 

reviewed and approved as follows on a 

motion by Waddell, seconded by Esmay.

The building permit/variance for Dakota 

Mill and Grain was reviewed at this time. 

A meeting was held earlier in the month 

concerning design and location. It was 

felt there may need to be a variance to 

the road in that area and that was uncertain 

how far. A motion was made by 

Waddell, seconded by Esmay to allow 

the variance for the scale to be within 5 

feet of the property line. The county and 

city will help in the drainage and reshaping 

of the area for better access. 

Sheriff Weber was in attendance at this 

time. He discussed how he was working 

on the stray dogs and skunk problems in 

town. There were no further questions 

for him at this time and the report was 

approved on a motion by Waddell, seconded 

by Esmay. 

The street report was presented by 

Hatheway at this time. He discussed 

again the culvert installation in the alley. 

He also discussed with council the landfill 

inspection and remedies to the areas 

that needed work there. He stated he 

reviewed this report with the personnel at 

Legal Notices 


the landfill so they could better monitor 

the site. He found a place for possible 

surplus of the old dozer that and a 

motion was made by Esmay, seconded 

by Jost to surplus this item at a value 

under $500. Contacts or possible ads to 

dispose of this will be made. 

Hatheway further discussed the clean up 

of the City yard and repairs he wants to 

make on the old shop. It was also discussed 

that a car had been left in the 

yard over the weekend. It was determined 

that a designated area needed to 

be set and that the vehicles left there 

needed to be tagged or the City needed 

to know where they came from and who 

hauled them there. A motion to approve 

the street report was made by Waddell, 

seconded by Jost. 

Erikson gave the water report for the 

month. He informed council he has 

been gone some of the month due to 

knee surgery. He also reviewed some 

items he has been working on. Prior to 

surgery he repaired the curb stop at the 

clinic. He also discussed the sewer at 

the area by Dakota Mill and Grain. He 

discussed that if that sewer needs rerouted, 

who covered the cost and council 

felt it should be Dakota Mill and Grain. 

A motion to approve the report was made 

by Waddell, seconded by Esmay. 

The finance report was presented by 

Barnes at this time. The written report 

was as follows: Cash in bank – 

427,389.55; MMDA’s – 149,464.45; Savings 

– 198.27; Change – 40.00. REV-

2013 is $43,922 and the projected budget 

for 2013 is $50,000. Barnes reported 

the City hay sold earlier sold for a total of 

$16,916.20 and that all liquor license are 

paid in full to date. Barnes reported to 

council that the SDRS rates for the following 

year would not increase. She 

also discussed with council the safe 

routes to school grant the City may be 

able to utilize. A motion to approve the 

report was made by Waddell, seconded 

by Jost. 

OLD BUSINESS: Council further discussed 

the housing meeting that was 

held the night before. They agreed to 

look into things further in this area and 

get more active in old building cleanup in 

town. At this time they discussed the

Support small businesses 

during this holiday season 

by Senator John Thune 

Small business is the lifeblood 

of South Dakota communities. 

Across the state, small businesses 

sponsor baseball teams, support 

fine arts fundraisers, contribute to 

development projects, and make 

the conscious decision to keep 

their business in our community to 

help stimulate our local 

economies. These business owners 

often treat their customers and 

their employees like family, 

because in small towns, ensuring 

customer satisfaction is vitally 

important to keeping their doors 

open. 

Over the past several years, the 

economic climate has been difficult 

for many small businesses to navigate. 

Economic uncertainty has 

led to revenue and job loss, and 

many small businesses wonder 

how they will weather the economic 

storm. The hope for any small 

business during the holiday season 

is that members of their community 

will first choose to shop 

local for their holiday gifts. The 

loyalty and patronage of customers 

in small towns and in 

small businesses across the state 

injects money into local establishments, 

helping them to lower 

JH GB vs. Lyman @ 

Draper 4:00 

prices and provide a greater array 

of products and services. 

In Washington, I believe we 

must do more to provide certainty 

and support for our small businesses. 

Unfortunately, proposals 

put forward by the president and 

Democrat-led Senate would 

increase taxes on small businesses. 

It is estimated that under the 

Democrats’ plan, tax hikes would 

hit nearly one million businesses 

that employ 25 percent of the 

nation’s workforce. If the president 

and Senate Democrats are serious 

about growing our economy and 

preventing our country from heading 

over the fiscal cliff, they should 

provide certainty to small businesses 

by extending the current 

tax rates for all Americans. 

Congress has a lot of work to do 

over the next month to ensure that 

we protect small businesses and 

get our fiscal house in order. I will 

continue to work across the aisle 

to protect our job creators and cut 

spending. As the holiday season 

continues, don’t limit your small 

business patronage to Small Business 

Saturday. Support your 

friends; support your community; 

support small businesses by shopping 

locally this holiday season.
