Introducing online interviews for United Blood 

Services blood donors 

Day-of-appointment service will decrease length of interviews at blood 

drives; try it at Faith’s drive on July 11th. 

United Blood Services donors 

now have the ability to complete 

their donation interview online 

the same day of their blood donation 

appointment. With this new 

service, United Blood Services 

can reduce the length of interviews 

on-site at a center or mobile 

drive to only essential follow-up 

questions. Donors can visit the 

United Blood Services website, 

access the interview and print out 

a barcoded Fast Track Donation 

Ticket that they must bring with 

them to their appointment.

participated in Special Events Day 

Pictured is Taylor Fisher 

The Perkins County 4-H held a 

Special Events Day on Friday, 

June 28th at the Bentley Building. 

There we two participants in 

this month's Special Events Day, 

Taylor Fisher and Macy Schiley. 

Taylor, constructed her own 

Zebra Apron with two pockets on 

the front. She sewed it herself. 

Taylor, also modeled a Summer 

inspired two piece outfit in Fashion 

Revue Class. Taylor will show 

her two piece neon outfit at the 

Perkins County Fair in August. 

Taylor, also gave a demonstration 

on how to properly make Black 

Cherry, Kool-Aid/Jell-O Popsicles 

at home. She gave a step-by-step 

demonstration, then letting the 

audience and the Judge sample 

the frozen tasty treat. Taylor received 

3 purple ribbons for her efforts! 

Macy Schiley, constructed and 

modeled a bright and colorful tiedyed 

robe. Macy, wore the fleece 

robe with pink slippers, which 

tied the outfit together nicely. 

This isn't Macy's first year in 4-H, 

she knew just how to model and 

walk to show off her robe. The 

Judge thought she did a great job 

at sewing her robe, and gave 

Macy a purple ribbon. The Judge 

encouraged both girls to keep 

sewing. The Judge, Vi Leonard of 

Bison was a veteran at judging 

this event, and really knew what 

to look for in both Fashion Revue 

and the Food Demonstration. We 

look forward to more Children 

joining the Perkins County 4-H in 

the future. See you at the Fair! 

perience better, they usually say 

that the interview process should 

be simplified, shortened or automated,” 

said Jennifer Bredahl, 

Regional Donor Recruitment Director 

for United Blood Services. 

“We took these suggestions to 

heart and now are happy to provide 

this new, shortened interview 

process for our dedicated 

donors.” 

United Blood Services encourages 

donors to give the online 

health history questionnaire a try 

for their next donation. There are 

some important guidelines to 

note, especially the fact that 

donors must complete the questionnaire 

the same day as their 

donation. Donors still have the 

option to have one of our staff 

members ask the health history 

questions, like we currently do. 

All donors have to do is simply request 

this option when they arrive 

to donate. 

Instructions can be found online 

at www.UnitedBloodServices.org 

and by clicking the 

“Health History Questionnaire” 

link on the left. Answers cannot 

be saved, so donors must complete 

the 10-15 minute interview 

in one sitting. Donor data is 

stored only in the barcoded “Fast 

Track Donation Ticket” that a 

donor will print following the interview, 

so a login is not required. 

The online donor interview was 

developed by Calimex USA Corp., 

a software developer based in San 

Francisco. 

People who are 16 or older, 

weigh at least 110 pounds and are 

in good health are eligible to donate 

blood. Additional 

height/weight requirements apply 

to donors 22 and younger, and 

donors who are 16 must have a 

signed permission from a parent 

or guardian. 

You can try out this new 

process for Faith’s next blood 

drive, on July 11th. The Catholic 

Daughters are sponsoring this 

blood drive. You may call Amy Ulrich 

to schedule an appointment. 

There won’t be one in Dupree this 

time around. 

South Dakota’s Broadband Initiative 

awards 18 technology grants 

Recently, the South Dakota 

Broadband Initiative (SDBI) 

awarded technology grants for 

projects exceeding $150,000 to 18 

Community Anchor Institutions 

(CAI) across South Dakota. The 

funding is part of the federal Department 

of Commerce’s National 

Telecommunication and Information 

Administration’s (NTIA) 

State Broadband Initiative. 

“This program has been very 

beneficial to the Community Anchor 

Institutions across South 

Dakota,” said Jim Edman, 

Deputy Commissioner for the 

South Dakota Bureau of Information 

and Telecommunications and 

Project Manager for the SDBI. 

“The ability to establish or refresh 

one’s technology infrastructure 

through this program is a 

tremendous opportunity for the 

CAIs in today’s constrained economy. 

This boost for the local communities 

has a direct impact on 

increasing broadband services, 

usage and adoption; a key goal for 

the State Broadband Initiative.” 

A list of the institutions 

awarded grants is provided 

below. Included for each CAI is 

the total cost of the proposed project 

which reflects a required 20 

percent matching investment

Walter Grueb 

Walter George Grueb, 90, lifelong 

rancher of Meade County, 

went to be with the Lord on June 

27, 2013, at Rapid City Regional 

Hospital surrounded by his loving 

family. 

Walt was born April 26, 1923 

to George Walter and Weta 

(Rosser) Grueb. With assistance 

from a midwife, he was born on 

the prairie near Bixby, SD. Walter 

grew up on the Grueb Ranch 

near Imogene and attended rural 

grade school and graduated from 

Bison High School in 1940. After 

high school, he went to work for 

Hans Thinglestad, first herding 

sheep and later farming. Walt 

was drafted into the U. S. Army 

in 1945. 

In the spring of 1945, Walt met 

Mathilda Anna Moelter and on 

October 6th of that year, they 

married. Walt became a member 

of St. Joseph's Catholic Church 

when they married. From this 

union, five children were born: 

Linda, Herbert, Rodnee, Irma, 

Obituary 

and Larry. 

In 1965, Walt purchased one of 

Han's places on which he and 

Tilly have since resided. Walt 

loved working on the ranch, taking 

care of his cattle, and he especially 

loved combining and 

driving his tractor, putting up 

hay and anything else involving 

driving tractors. 

Walt is survived by his wife, 

Tilly, Faith; his five children, 

Linda (Wayne) Lensegrav of Sturgis, 

Herb (Marcia) Grueb of Black 

Hawk, Rod (Tawana) Grueb of 

Onida, Irma (Kevin) Fees of Hot 

Springs, and Larry (Beth Ann) 

Grueb of Faith; thirteen grandchildren; 

nine great-grandchildren; 

and many nieces and 

nephews. 

He was preceded in death by 

his parents; his sister and 

brother-in-law, Marge and Neil 

Quinn; and daughter-in-law, Debbie 

(Bakeberg) Grueb. 

A rosary will be held Monday, 

July 1st at 7:00 p.m. at St. 

Joseph's Catholic Church in 

Faith. 

Mass of Christian burial was 

held Tuesday, July 2, 2013, at 

10:00 a.m. at St. Joseph's 

Catholic Church in Faith with Father 

Jim Hoerter. Burial followed 

at 3 p.m. at Black Hills National 

Cemetery with military honors 

provided by the Sturgis Veteran's 

Honor Guard. 

A memorial has been established 

to St. Joseph's Catholic 

Church.

Highway Patrol to be ‘Out in Force’ in 

July 4 Safety Campaign 

South Dakota’s Highway Patrol 

will be out in force on the 

Fourth of July with a high-visibility 

campaign to emphasize safe 

travel during the holiday weekend. 

The day-long saturation patrol 

will involve virtually all uniformed 

troopers. It is part of the 

Highway Patrol’s summer-long 

safe-travel campaign, “Obey the 

Sign and Avoid the Fine.’’ 

“The Fourth of July holiday period 

is one of the busiest of the 

year for travel on state highways,’’ 

says Col. Craig Price, superintendent 

of the Highway 

Cell phone ban for young drivers effective on July 1 

A new law making it illegal for 

young drivers to use a cell phone 

while driving takes effect on Monday, 

July 1, South Dakota Department 

of Public Safety officials 

remind citizens. 

The law, passed by the 2013 

Legislature, prohibits anyone 

who holds a learner’s permit or a 

restricted minor’s permit from 

using any handheld communication 

device while driving. Generally, 

such permits are issued to 

persons between the ages of 14 

and 18. 

“Young people still gaining experience 

with driving really need 

to avoid any distractions,’’ said 

The Canadian company, Powertech, 

Inc., plans to mine uranium 

in the Black Hills using the 

groundwater of our region as a 

tool (in situ leach mining). The 

risk of permanent contamination 

of our aquifers is significant. Rehabilitating 

groundwater would 

be time-consuming, difficult and 

expensive. All attempts to restore 

the "mined" aquifers could fail. 

Powertech plans to convert 

uranium ore into yellowcake, 

Patrol. “Putting as many troopers 

on the road as possible raises 

public awareness of the need to 

make safe travel choices. That 

means wearing seatbelts, following 

speed limits and other rules of 

the road, avoiding distractions 

and having a sober driver every 

trip.’’ 

“Obey the Sign and Avoid the 

Fine’’ is a campaign to reduce 

highway crashes and increase 

safety on South Dakota’s roadways. 

Office of Highway Safety 

statistics show that speeding, impaired 

driving and other hazardous 

moving violations are 

Jenna Howell, director of Legal 

and Regulatory Services for Public 

Safety. “Driving is a full-time 

responsibility for all of us. That is 

especially true for our younger 

drivers who are still trying to get 

comfortable behind the wheel of a 

vehicle. The law emphasizes the 

need to pay attention to the road.’’ 

A learner or instruction permit 

allows the holder to drive between 

the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 

p.m. if accompanied by a person 

who has a valid driver license, is 

at least 18 years old and has at 

least one year of driving experience. 

That person must occupy a 

seat beside the young driver. 

Letter to the Editor 

major contributors to crashes, injuries 

and deaths on state highways. 

While speed and alcohol are 

the top targets for the enforcement 

campaign, troopers will be 

enforcing all other traffic laws. 

In addition to enforcement, the 

summer safety campaign is using 

social media for public education 

and has partnered with the State 

Department of Transportation for 

permanent and portable message 

boards with safe-driving messages 

on the interstates and other 

high-traffic areas in South 

Dakota. 

A restricted minor’s permit allows 

the holder to drive between 

6 a.m. and 10 p.m. with permission 

of a parent or guardian. The 

holder of a restricted minor’s permit 

may drive between the hours 

of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. if the parent 

or guardian is in a seat next to 

the driver. 

The Legislature directed that 

the new law be enforced as a secondary 

offense, meaning a young 

driver would have to be stopped 

for another offense before a ticket 

could be issued for driving while 

using a handheld communications 

device. 

which would be available for export, 

and could be used to generate 

nuclear power or build 

weapons. They risk contamination 

of so much water for the 

profit of so few, for a product that 

may do little to improve people's 

lives. 

The people of our region go 

back a hundred, or in many cases, 

hundreds of years. Our culture of 

water use has allowed us to survive, 

and sometimes thrive, in 

this semi-arid land. From the perspective 

of the working man and 

woman, life is possible here because 

we view clean water as a 

common good. 

If we want a vision for our 

water that is life-sustaining, we 

must protect it. We need to persuade 

our state's Water Management 

Board members to question 

the belief that Powertech can return 

nothing but clean water to 

our aquifers.

Veterans News 

Larry Zimmerman 

SD Secretary of Veterans Affairs 

As we gather this Fourth of 

July, at parades, picnics, barbeques, 

ballgames, concerts, and 

fireworks displays – all in honor 

of our country’s birth and continued 

success; let us remember 

what America really is and how 

our independence was achieved. 

After the Continental Congress 

accepted the Declaration of 

Independence, John Adams wrote 

a letter to his wife, Abigail, on 

July 3, 1776: “I am apt to believe 

that it will be celebrated by succeeding 

generations as the great 

anniversary Festival. It ought to 

be commemorated as the Day of 

Deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion 

to God Almighty. It ought 

to be solemnized with pomp and 

parade, with shows, games, 

sports, guns, bells, bonfires and 

illuminations, from one end of 

this continent to the other, from 

this time forward forever……” 

Don’t let this be just another 

holiday. Reach out and thank 

your veterans for the freedom 

they have achieved for us. Let us 

never stop educating our youth 

about the price that has been paid 

for their freedom! Live up to John 

Adam’s challenge to celebrate 

from one end of this continent to 

the other. 

On Thursday, as we celebrate 

our exceptional past, let us also 

celebrate America’s future. Let us 

also keep the men and women 

who are serving on active duty in 

our thoughts and prayers; especially 

South Dakota’s 152nd 

Combat Sustainment Support 

Battalion that will deploy July 6 

to Afghanistan in support of Operations 

Enduring Freedom.

Church missions to Bridger and Takini 

Now in their fourth year of 

missions trips to the Cheyenne 

River Indian Reservation, the 

Saint Dunstan Episcopal Church 

of Houston, Texas, and the Good 

Shepard Episcopal Church of 

Tomball, Texas, donate a week’s 

worth of work and devotion to the 

communities of Bridger and 

Takini. 

This year’s 20 high school and 

10 adult volunteers spent two 

days traveling in two vans and a 

suburban, arriving June 25. They 

will head back Sunday morning. 

Plans are in the works for next 

year’s trip to involve two weeks. 

Later this year some of the 

churches’ volunteers will be making 

a mission trip to the Dominican 

Republic. 

Debbie Johnson, one of the 

adult leaders, said they are here 

to assist and work with the people 

Paul and I went to Rapid City 

last Friday. Melissa was down 

from North Dakota and spent the 

day with us. She came down to 

get stepson Hunter to spend some 

time with them. They left all for 

Minnesota Sunday morning for 

several days, so we are dog sitting 

for them. Nick and his girlfriend 

and Brooke went on the trip, too. 

They were taking in a couple Yankees/Twins 

baseball games and 

will be home Friday night for the 

car races. Of course, we went to 

the races Friday night, and what 

a good night! Eric finished 2nd in 

the main. He said that was so 

much fun! His new car does what 

it’s supposed to do when they 

make adjustments, his old one 

didn’t. 

I know this will be late for 

those in the country, etc., but 

there will be fireworks at Durkee 

Lake on the 4th of July. There are 

also games at the swimming pool 

in the afternoon, and the golf 

scramble in the morning. Lots of 

things to do! 

Have a safe and happy Fourth 

of July! 

who live on the Cheyenne River 

Indian Reservation. They have a 

relationship with Reverend Byron 

Buffalo and his United Church of 

Christ. 

Last year the mission group 

trucked in a medical clinic building. 

They said the prefabricatedtype 

structure somewhat resembles 

a railroad car. It had to be set 

on the ground with the use of a 

crane. The building’s water lines 

are being replaced this trip, and 

eventually electricity will be 

hooked to the building. The mission 

crew believes the school district 

superintendent will have the 

school nurse use the building. 

Approximately four years ago, 

the St. Dunstan youth director 

was looking for missions that 

they could build a relationship 

over time and continue it. It is a 

trip where work such as painting 

and construction is done, volunteers 

learn about other people, 

and group devotion times are 

often also attended by community 

children. The group stays in the 

Bridger church, and works on 

continuing projects from their 

own groups and from other 

groups. What one mission group 

starts, another finishes, and it is 

a coordinated effort. Most weeks 

during the summer have some 

mission doing something for the 

residents of the reservation. During 

the Fourth of July week, a 

group from Liberty, Mo., is scheduled 

to be there. 

Johnson said her youth do take 

the mission trip seriously. Some 

have been here before. The lack of 

dependable cell phone and Internet 

service does take some getting 

used to, though. Virginia Blake, 

another adult volunteer, added 

that it is good for the kids to be 

unplugged for a while.

As we were driving home from 

the Hills tonight I was thinking 

how beautiful our world is right 

now. The multi shades of green 

mixing with the blues of sage and 

gamma grass broken by a skyline 

that was topped with a spectacular 

South Dakota sunset. Shades 

of purple, blues, reds, to pinks 

and indigo all backed by streaks 

of gold and that gorgeous clear, 

pure air we breathe. Only God 

could craft such glory and mix the 

colors to give the array that puts 

us in awe. Then I shook myself 

and thought "Good grief" I've read 

way too many Zane Gray books! I 

don't think I could go on for four 

pages like he did but it sure is 

pretty right now. The antelope 

and deer you see are often followed 

by a young fawn just discovering 

the wonders of the 

world. The cows and calves are 

looking sleek and fat and the 

young foals frisk around the pastures. 

I saw some cone flowers a 

few days ago but they aren't 

abundant yet. The yucca plant 

blossoms look like they've been on 

steroids. Every hillside seems to 

have some in bloom. Soon the 

heat of July will start to dry 

things up but for now it is a sight 

that only God can create! I thank 

my maker for letting me live on 

the prairie, an area filled with 

wonderful folks. 

We buried one of those great 

guys last Tuesday when we attended 

the funeral for Ernest Delbridge 

which was held at the 

Community Center in Union Center. 

There was a large attendance 

from many areas. Ernest and 

Chalk Hawks always had a story 

to tell that would leave you with 

a smile on your face. Your heart 

was lighter because Ernest took 

the time to visit. He made it a 

point to enjoy his neighbors and 

friends, sharing our burdens and 

our triumphs. He never tooted his 

horn and claimed he was a Christian, 

he just lived like one. I've 

seen a lot of "Christians" who are 

so busy being "the saved ones" 

they forget they're driving people 

away by not participating in their 

community. Ernest wasn't that 

way, he was just Ernest, take him 

or leave him. He didn't put on 

airs! Thankfully, Ernest and 

Viola were blessed with children 

who continue to live in our area 

and make this a better world by 

following in their dad’s footsteps. 

God Bless all of you and thanks so 

much for sharing him with us! 

Tucker and Bev Hudson, Wregan 

and Wraylee Brown spent the 

weekend camping with the Hudson 

clan at Deerfield Lake. There 

were about 40 in attendance 

throughout the weekend. Canoeing, 

fishing, bike riding, kayaking, 

and four wheeling was some 

of the entertainment along with 

lots of good food cooked over the 

campfire.

Most of Jim and Vonnie 

O'Dea's news is about Granddaughter 

Amy Deichert and her 

wreck with the high headed cow! 

While helping a neighbor on Monday, 

a cow hit Amy on the right 

side, knocking her down and running 

over her. She saw the cow 

coming, but wasn't fast enough to 

get out of the way. Jim brought 

Amy up to the highway and Vonnie 

met them and into Sturgis 

they went. Amy's mom met them 

there. Three hours later they 

knew Amy had 2 fractured ribs 

and a punctured lung. She was 

then transferred by ambulance to 

the Rapid City hospital, getting 

into a room at 3 am. Vonnie and 

Susan spent the night at the hospital 

with Amy. Vonnie came 

home Wednesday evening when 

Susan came from teaching summer 

school in Spearfish. Amy was 

dismissed Friday afternoon and 

went home with her mom to 

Spearfish. O'Deas kept appointments 

in Rapid Friday and visited 

Amy before she went home. 

Best wishes go out to Amy. Plans 

for rodeoing this summer are on 

hold! We are very glad to hear she 

came out of this as well as she 

did. Get well soon girl! 

Harold and I attended the 40th 

Anniversary celebration for Mel 

and Marcia Dutton Saturday 

evening. All their children and all 

but one grandchild were here to 

help them celebrate. All the anniversary 

attendees were treated 

to “Newlywed Game” style entertainment 

of Mel and Marcia answering 

questions about each 

other. Despite Mel’s claim “I 

know everything about this 

woman.” The game proved he didn’t. 

I visited with Dennis Ellefson 

Monday morning in Faith. He 

told me he and Wanda will be 

moving to a farm near Aberdeen. 

We wish them the best of luck in 

whatever they choose to do. 

Haying continues all around 

the area. Windrows this year look 

like they should, not a wimpy little 

pile of weeds like we saw last 

year. The little piece of land west 

of our house has more round hay 

bales on it this year than Harold 

says he ever got in years past. 

Unfortunately we are also in need 

of a rain to keep the crops such as 

wheat, milo, hay grazer etc. growing.

White Owl church this past week. 

He rode there with Angela,

While it's still quite green in 

Central Meade County, we could 

use a rain. There is a bit of a 

crunch in grass that has not been 

watered. The dry weather has 

been helpful for haying though. 

Many are in the midst of cutting 

and baling right now. Ranchers 

are trying to get to their alfalfa

most of it.

South Dakota electric cooperatives alarmed by 

President Obama’s proposal to increase 

regulations and costs 

In a speech at Georgetown 

University, President Obama announced 

a broad new federal 

mandate to reduce greenhouse 

gas emissions from electric power 

plants. The President will instruct 

federal regulators to apply 

the Clean Air Act to carbon dioxide 

issued from power plants, effectively 

outlawing coal-burning 

facilities. 

South Dakota’s electric cooperatives 

are especially concerned 

about this proposal because rural 

and low-income Americans already 

spend disproportionately 

more on energy than others. 

“The impact of the President’s 

plan on co-op-served families and 

businesses could be significant in 

South Dakota,” said Ed Anderson, 

general manager of the 

South Dakota Rural Electric Association 

in Pierre, S.D. “Rural 

communities have been put 

through an economic wringer for 

the better part of a decade; 

they’ve made incredible sacrifices.” 

“The President’s plan fails to 

take into account electric cooperatives 

existing efforts to protect 

the environment in a responsible 

and cost effective manner. With 

more than 1,060 megawatts of installed 

renewable generation capacity 

in our portfolio, South 

Dakota electric cooperatives are 

doing a lot more than just talking 

about our commitment to the environment. 

That, coupled with 

the fact that electric cooperatives 

have been leaders in encouraging 

energy efficiency and conservation 

for decades, should serve as 

a model for a responsible approach 

to addressing climate concerns,” 

said Anderson 

“We can move forward in our 

collective efforts to protect and 

improve the environment. And we 

can do it in an effective and affordable 

manner. Using the Clean 

Air Act to tax every coal-fired 

generation facility in the United 

States out of business is not a responsible 

solution. It is only expedient,” 

Anderson said. 

“I hope we can work with the 

President to form a more reasonable 

and sustainable plan,” said 

Anderson.

The Garden Gate

SDSU Extension - Perkins Co. 

Giant tomato competition – 

Really? 

We hear about giant pumpkin 

contests, in fact Bison Master 

Gardeners sponsor a heaviest 

pumpkin contest at their Pumpkin 

Fest. We hope you are trying 

your hand at growing a prize 

pumpkin for this year. But giant 

tomato contests are not common, 

especially in this area. Maybe we 

should give that a try. The biggest 

tomato recorded so far as we 

could find was 7 pounds, 12 

ounces grown by Gordon Graham 

of Edmond, Oklahoma. This winning 

tomato came from a 'Delicious' 

vine. 

Most huge tomato varieties are 

indeterminate (plants that grow 

and fruit all season) slicer or beefsteak 

types. 'Giant Belgium' produces 

sweet fruits that average 2 

pounds. 'Hillbilly' is an heirloom 

beefsteak type with pink-andyellow 

bicolored fruits that weigh 

in at 1 to 2 pounds. 'Big Zac' is a 

hybrid of two heirlooms, and it 

regularly produces 4-to-6-pound 

fruits! Well known big beef tomatoes 

('Beefsteak', 'Italian Giant 

Beefsteak', 'Watermelon Beefsteak', 

and 'Beefmaster'), which 

produce heavy fruits. 

It's a lot of work to coax your 

tomatoes into really packing on 

the pounds. First of all, you'll 

need to provide the best basic 

care: full sun, fluffy soil with 

plenty of organic matter, lots of 

space between plants, an inch of 

water per week, and support 

(stakes or cages). Get the plants 

into the ground early and protect 

them with Wall-O-Waters or 

cloches. Hold off on mulching 

until the ground warms up and 

the plants begin to flower. Fertilize 

every two weeks with a dilute 

fish emulsion fertilizer (be careful 

The only rain we got this week 

was 9 hundredths last Saturday 

and it’s been great haying 

weather. Temperatures haven’t 

reached triple digits here yet, but 

with the mercury in the eighties 

every day, summer is definitely 

here. With this hot weather, 

Bryce and Trig almost enjoyed 

fixing the river gaps across the 

Grand River that runs through 

our ranch. Casey installed our air 

conditioner on Wednesday and it 

runs every day. 

We started haying Monday so 

all our time is spent in the hayfield, 

running for parts, and fixing 

the breakdowns. Did you notice 

that you seldom have to repair 

swathers, mowers, rakes, or 

balers when you don’t have much 

hay, but with a good hay crop you 

almost need a full-time mechanic? 

But hey – we’re not complaining! 

Brad Lemmel, Red Lemmel’s 

son with the South Dakota Department 

of Tourism, drove out 

from Pierre for the Great Western 

Cattle Trail Association meeting 

at the Heritage Center in 

Spearfish Wednesday evening. 

Rep. Lance Russell brought 

copies of the proposed articles of 

confederation for us to review and 

the group poured over a map of 

South Dakota to decide where to 

put the GWCTA cement markers 

to mark the Western cattle trail 

across our state. The markers are 

being made and donated to us by 

Croell Redi-Mix. They’ve done a 

wonderful job making the markers 

and we hope to soon be able to 

use Croell’s advertising slogan for 

the markers we place on the trail 

across western South Dakota - 

you know, the one that says 

“They’re everywhere, they’re 

everywhere”! 

Thursday, Reub and I made a 

trip to Laufer’s north of Hettinger 

for haying supplies and parts before 

Reub’s appointment with 

Mary Eggebo in Hettinger. Mel 

Eggebo is doing well, but he’s 

going to have more surgery soon, 

so please keep him in your 

prayers. 

While we were in Hettinger, I 

bought more tomato plants for my 

garden. The tomatoes I set out 

earlier aren’t doing so well. Some 

of them died and the survivors 

have leaves that are curled up to 

look like little green balls. Everything 

in the northern part of my 

garden is doing great, but the 

weeds and other plants on the 

south side of the garden are suffering 

from the same malady as 

the tomato plants. I can’t see any 

bugs on them, the guys plead innocence 

when I accused them of 

spraying weed killer around 

there, and I’m stymied. Do any of 

you know what could be causing 

this? 

Derek Brink’s mother, Gayla 

(Long) Brink, passed away Thursday 

at Rapid City Regional Hospital. 

Gayla grew up in Bison 

where her parents, Cliff and Bea 

Long, ran the City Café on Main 

Street. I sometimes babysat 

Gayla and her younger brother 

Greg. She was a wonderful person 

and much too young to leave this 

earth. Gayla’s funeral will be 

Wednesday with burial at Black 

Hills National Cemetery. Our 

sympathy goes out to Gayla’s 

family. 

Our community gained a new 

member Friday evening when 

Kelli Blair married Clint Doll in 

Sturgis. After the beautiful ceremony, 

a huge crowd of friends 

and relatives gathered at the 

Shade Valley Campground east of 

Sturgis to celebrate their marriage 

and to welcome Kelli into 

our neighborhood. Clint’s cousin, 

Michael Anderson, a.k.a “Mad 

Dog”, was one of Clint’s groomsmen 

and he brought his new wife 

Madison. Mad Dog and Madison 

were married a couple weeks ago 

in Colorado and it was a pleasure 

to meet her. 

Kelli and Clint will live in the 

house where Clint’s grandparents, 

Guy and Sylvia Doll, lived 

after they went to work on the 

Hackamore Ranch for Kelli’s 

great uncle, Harry Blair, back before 

Clint’s father was born. 

When I called the ranch to visit 

with Clint’s Mom on Monday 

morning, Janet told me that Kelli 

and Clint were out horseback 

moving bulls. She fits in well 

around here! 

Harry Blair’s son, George, was 

also at the wedding. George will 

soon be 92 years old and is as excited 

as we are about the newest 

Blair/Doll connection. All six of 

George’s daughters, Janet, Mary 

Beth, Nancy, Gayle, Kathleen 

and Ann, plan to run in Clint’s 

Aunt Elaine Doll-Dunn’s Leading 

Ladies half marathon in 

Spearfish August 18th. George’s 

daughter Nancy Remington just 

celebrated her 60th birthday by 

climbing Bear Butte for the 60th 

time. I think her Grandpa Harry 

Blair was 90 the last time he 

climbed Bear Butte, so the challenge 

is there for his younger relatives! 

Maurice Hamilton turns 90 on 

Tuesday, July 2nd and most of 

the Reva community gathered to 

help him celebrate at the Reva 

Hall Sunday afternoon. 94 year 

old Bob Hanson came to wish his 

old friend Happy Birthday and 

some of us got to wondering just 

how many WWII veterans like 

Bob and Maurice we have left in 

this area? Maurice was the only 

one we could think of in Harding 

County. Let us know if we’re 

missing anyone, will you? 

We had a Harding County history 

book meeting in Buffalo 

Monday evening. Copies of the 

book are selling fast, so if you 

want one, send a check for $80 for 

the two volume set written to 

“Harding County history book” to 

Alice Holcomb, 13699 Harding 

Rd, Buffalo, SD 57720 if you plan 

to pick the volumes up and $90 if 

you want them mailed. Alice also 

has a lot of pictures and stories 

that she would like to return to 

the owners. Call her at 605-375- 

3459 and she’ll get them sent to 

you. 

I’ll leave you with this little bit 

of advice for all the newlyweds: 

At their granddaughter's wedding, 

the DJ polled the guests to 

see who had been married 

longest. It turned out to be the 

grandparents. The DJ asked 

them, "What advice would you 

give to the newly-married couple?" 

Grandma said, "The three 

most important words in a marriage 

are, 'You're probably right.'" 

Everyone then looked at 

Grandpa. He said, "She's probably 

right." 

not to provide too much nitrogen, 

you'll get a lot of foliage and few 

fruits). 

A real tomato competitor 

knows how to identify the big 

“king flowers” or megablooms 

which they hand pollinate in 

hopes of producing that winning 

fruit. Megablooms are often described 

as conjoined with extra 

“body parts”, multiple pistils, 

sepals, floral whorls, thus easy to 

spot as they are big and abnormal. 

The beefsteak varieties are 

most often the winners as they 

have a higher number of locules 

(seed cavities) associated with increased 

weight and volume, most 

are heirloom or F1 hybrid varieties. 

Indeterminates are a must, 

large fruits need large plants. 

Once the plants begin to grow, 

the real training begins. Allow 

only one stem to develop, and 

pluck off suckers (the sprouts that 

form between branches and the 

main stem) when they are very 

young. Remove all but two or 

three fruits from each plant. It's 

best to eliminate developing 

fruits at the top of the vine and 

leave older fruits at the bottom. 

Prune off tomatoes that develop 

farthest from the stem and leave 

one fruit per cluster. Prevent 

branches from breaking by supporting 

the tomatoes with pantyhose 

slings when they start to get 

really big. And wish for some good 

luck. Maybe we can get a contest 

going for the Perkins County Fair 

next year. If you planted a beefsteak 

variety, give it a practice 

run this year. Thanks to Willi 

Evans Galloway at Organic Gardening 

for the tips shared here.

The dancing feet of the Powwow 

The long prairie grass swayed 

in the hot summer sun. The 

young American Indian man, 

fasting and praying as he 

watched the grass dance in the 

wind, soon saw himself dancing 

in a similar manner. But how 

could this be, since he had been 

born without the full use of his 

legs? The Medicine Man in his village 

interpreted his vision. The 

boy asked his mother to make an 

outfit in which to dance using the 

prairie grass. He was covered 

from shoulder to ankle with long, 

thick, bright multi-colored fringes 

made of yarn or ribbon. He 

showed his father how he would 

dance, using much shoulder, arm 

and head movements. His footwork 

would appear like he was 

stumbling. A song was composed 

for him. He showed the village his 

style of dance. 

This is how the grass dance 

originated, according to American 

Indians in the Northern Plains. 

The grass dance is one of the 

dance styles common at a modern 

powwow. 

While a powwow is defined as 

a gathering of American Indians 

and can take place for many reasons, 

it is often associated with 

dance. 

Each session of a wacipi (the 

Lakota word for powwow, pronounced 

“wah chee pea”) begins 

with the grand entry. The eagle 

staff and various flags lead the 

way into the dance arena. The 

flags represent nations, families 

and communities. When the eagle 

staff is brought into the area, 

powwow etiquette requires spectators 

to stand and remove their 

hats in respect. Wacipi are open 

to visitors, but everyone attending 

should follow proper etiquette. 

“Veterans have an integral 

part in powwows as they are honored 

by leading the dancers into 

the arena,” said Francis Whitebird 

of Saint Francis, an Indian 

educator and former director of 

the South Dakota Office of Tribal 

Relations. 

Once all the dancers are in the 

dance arena and while the spectators 

are still standing, the flags 

are raised and the flag song is 

sung. This is followed by a veterans 

honoring song. 

The master of ceremonies is 

the voice of the wacipi. This person 

keeps the singers, dancers 

and the general public informed 

as to what is happening. 

The oldest form of dancing is 

the traditional dance. The men 

danced in the middle of the dance 

arena and the women stood on 

the side, according to Whitebird. 

“In the mid to late 1950s, the 

shawl dance for women and the 

fancy dance for the men made 

their appearance in Lakota country. 

The women joined the men 

and danced in the middle of the 

dance area,” he said. 

The men’s northern traditional 

style of dance was a form of storytelling 

in which each warrior 

acted out deeds committed during 

a battle or hunt. 

Men’s fancy dance is the most 

contemporary style of dance. It is 

the most strenuous and athletic of 

the dances. The dance is fast and 

features jumps and twirling. The 

regalia is said to represent the 

rainbow spirits with its bright colors 

and flying feathers and ribbon. 

The women’s traditional dance 

requires enormous stamina, concentration 

and grace. Dancers 

stand on the outer edge of the 

dance arena. They barely move 

their feet and gently bend their 

knees as they move up and down 

in rhythm with the drum. 

Originating with the Ojibwe, 

the women’s jingle dress dance is 

a healing dance. According to one 

legend about the jingle dress, a 

medicine man was given a vision 

in which he saw his daughter and 

three of her friends dancing in 

dresses adorned with “jingles.” 

The jingle dress is made of a 

cloth, velvet or leather base 

adorned with jingles made out of 

a shiny metal, usually chewing 

tobacco lids. The dance is in a 

“side-step” fashion designed to incorporate 

the sound of the jingles 

by allowing them to move. 

DEADWOOD - Gordy Pratt 

will portray frontiersman Seth 

Bullock on July 6 – 21, 2013, daily 

at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the 

Adams Museum. Pratt’s performances 

include original songs and 

stories about Bullock that bring 

the history of Dakota Territory to 

life, as seen by one of the region’s 

legendary characters. The event 

is open to the public and wheelchair 

accessible with admission 

by donation. For more information 

call 605.578.1714. 

Gordy Pratt’s living history 

presentation is a wonderful window 

into the past. This familyfriendly 

show includes first-hand 

stories and songs about the legends 

of Deadwood. Pratt’s program 

is carefully researched, 

The fancy shawl dance is the 

most modern of the women’s 

dance styles. It began when 

women started wearing their 

shawls instead of draping them 

over their arms when dressed in 

their regalia. Fancy does not refer 

to the shawl, but to the foot work 

which involves kicks, twirls and 

fast movement. 

The music in a wacipi comes 

primarily from the drum groups 

who circle the arena and play 

large, specially designed drums 

and sing traditional songs. 

The clothing worn by dancers 

is referred to as regalia, never 

costumes. Good guests at a wacipi 

do not touch the dancers’ regalia. 

The master of ceremonies will 

make announcements about etiquette 

and the types of dances 

being performed. 

“Indian dancing almost faded 

out until contest dancing appeared 

in the mid-1960s. The interest 

in money and dancing 

caught like wildfire and a resurgence 

in dancing occurred,” 

Whitebird said. 

What one sees at a powwow 

are dancing feet, colorful regalia 

and smiling faces.

South Dakota Humanities 

Scholars visit Faith 

Tass Thacker and Bruce Junek 

created Images of the World in 

order to share the story of their 

adventures bicycling and exploring 

the world. They visited Faith 

last Tuesday, June 25, representing 

South Dakota Humanities 

Council as guests of the Faith 

Public/School Library. 

Tass and Bruce have traveled 

all over the world on bicycles, taking 

pictures and sharing stories of 

people, places and culture. In the 

morning during the summer 

reading program, the couple 

shared their trips to Greece, 

Turkey and Egypt. The Faith 

Public/School Library Summer 

Reading Program participants 

enjoyed beautifully colored photographs 

of pyramids, scenery, food, 

people and places, while listening 

to Tass and Bruce share stories 

about their trips. 

In the evening of Tuesday, 

June 27 at the Faith Community 

Center, everyone was invited to 

share in another presentation 

given by Images of the World- 

Tass Thacker and Bruce Junek. 

The couple shared photos and stories 

from trips to Honduras, 

Guatemala and many parts of 

Mexico. Bruce and Tass took 

many beautiful photos of the rainforest, 

people, places and culture. 

Tass and Bruce spoke about a 

common theme – that if you set a 

goal, you can attain it by living 

simple, keep healthy and exercise.

Enright elected to Junior Advisory Council 

RAPID CITY — Brooke Enright 

of Union Center has been 

elected to serve on the South 

Dakota Farmers Union’s Junior 

Advisory Council for 2013-2014. 

Enright was one of six youth 

elected by their peers to the council 

during the family farm organization’s 

annual state leadership 

camp June 2-7 at Storm Mountain 

Center near Rapid City. A 

South Dakotans who head to 

the beach and the pool this summer 

should take common sense 

precautions to prevent waterborne 

illnesses such as cryptosporidiosis, 

says a state health 

official. 

"Water sports are great physical 

activities and we don't want to 

discourage them but we do want 

people to practice healthy swimming," 

said Bill Chalcraft, health 

protection administrator for the 

Department of Health. 

In 2012, South Dakota reported 

113 cases of the diarrheal 

illness caused by Cryptosporidium 

parasites. Through May of 

this year, 37 cases have been reported. 

Chalcraft said beaches, pools, 

hot tubs and waterparks can be 

number of eligible campers who 

have finished at least their junior 

year of high school run for a spot 

on the six-person council. 

“I’m incredibly proud of Brooke 

and all of the young people on the 

council,” said South Dakota 

Farmers Union state education 

director Bonnie Geyer. “It’s an 

honor for them and their families 

and we’re proud to have such 

great young leaders who have 

chosen to be part of the Farmers 

Union family.” 

Brooke will be a senior this fall 

at Faith High School. She’s the 

daughter of Travis and Jone Enright. 

Other members of the Junior 

Advisory Council are Aidan 

Beck of Huron, Dayton Trujillo of 

De Smet, Jackie Dethlefsen of 

Stickney, Tucker Greene of 

Plankinton, and Chris Nemec of 

Holabird. 

As part of the Junior Advisory 

Council, Enright will organize 

contaminated by runoff, the presence 

of chlorine resistant germs, 

or poor maintenance. Contamination 

can also result when individuals 

with diarrhea use 

recreational waters. People at 

high risk for recreational water 

illnesses include the young, the 

elderly, pregnant women, and the 

immunosuppressed. 

Chalcraft offered the following 

prevention tips for all swimmers: 

•Shower with soap before 

swimming and wash your hands 

after using the toilet or changing 

diapers. Wash your children thoroughly 

with soap before swimming. 

•Don’t swim when you have diarrhea. 

•Don’t swallow pool water. 

and facilitate the 2014 Farmers 

Union state leadership camp and 

attend several Farmers Union 

functions including Farmers 

Union Day at the South Dakota 

State Fair and the Farmers 

Union state convention. 

“It’s a wonderful leadership opportunity 

for our young people,” 

Geyer said. “It allows them a 

chance to take hold of Farmers 

Union camp and learn leadership 

strategies that will make them 

successful during the week of 

camp and learn skills they’ll take 

with them the rest of their lives.” 

South Dakota Farmers Union’s 

state leadership camp is held 

each year in the Black Hills. The 

weeklong camp brings nearly 100 

young people ages 13-19 together 

for a week of cooperative education, 

leadership training and traditional 

camp activities. For more 

information visit the education 

page at www.sdfu.org. 

Prevent recreational water illness this summer 

•Take young children on bathroom 

breaks and check diapers at 

least every hour. 

•Change diapers in a bathroom 

or a diaper-changing area 

and not poolside. 

•Use sunscreen with at least 

SPF 15 and UVA and UVB protection, 

reapplying after swimming. 

•Change out of wet swimwear 

and shower thoroughly after 

swimming. 

Parents should keep an eye on 

children at all times when near 

the water and avoid using water 

wings and other swimming aids 

in place of life jackets.

FHS Student Council receives 

Academic Achievement Team Award 


Initiated during the 1996-97 

school year, the SDHSAA Academic 

Achievement Team Award 

program is designed to recognize 

varsity athletic teams and fine 

arts groups for their academic excellence. 

The South Dakota High 

School Activities Association believes 

that high school students 

learn in two distinct ways: inside 

the classroom and outside the 

classroom (on the stage and/or 

athletic field). This academic program 

creates a positive environment 

for school teams to have its 

members excel in the classroom. 

This program is also meant to motivate 

students toward academic 

excellence and to promote academic 

encouragement from teammates. 

All varsity athletic teams and 

fine arts groups that participate 

in Association-sponsored activities 

are eligible for this recognition 

program. The Academic 

Team Award program provides 

high school students with the opportunity 

to prove they can be 

overwhelmingly successful in 

both academics as well as in athletic 

and fine arts activities. 

All varsity athletic teams and 

fine arts groups that achieve a 

combined grade point average of 

3.0 or higher are eligible to receive 

an SDHSAA Academic 

Achievement Team Award. 

The Faith High School Student 

Council received this recognition. 

Also in our area, the Bison HS 

boys and girls track teams were 

recognized.

State High School Rodeo results 

The 2013 South Dakota High 

School Rodeo finals were held last 

week, June 19-23 at the Roundup 

grounds in Belle Fourche. 

Area contestants fought hard 

for the spots to go to the national 

finals in Rock Springs, Wyo. in 

July. Scores were affected by the 

heavy rains, especially for the 

short go. 

Point scoring for the finals includes 

15 places. First place is 

given 15 points down to 15th 

place which is awarded one point. 

In instances where there is the 

same score the points are totaled 

and then divided equally. The 

first and second rounds each had 

15 placings; the short go had 10. 

Average winners are based upon 

totaled scores from the three 

rounds. 

The champion and runner-up 

spots are chosen by the total of all 

the points earned during the season 

plus, those at the finals. The 

top four contestants from each 

event move on to the national finals. 

In some cases, while a contestant 

may not have had the best 

state finals, the had enough season 

points to place them in the 

top 15 of total points for the year.

The Prairie Doc Perspective 

Dr. Richard Holms, MD 

The curse of Ondine 

There is an old German folk 

tale about Ondine, a beautiful 

young water nymph who fell in 

love with a handsome mortal. Her 

lover promised, “My every waking 

breath is a testimony of my love,” 

and yet later Ondine discovered 

the mortal to be unfaithful. Her 

father the nymph king then 

placed a curse on the fickle lover 

making his breathing a conscious 

and not automatic process. Thus, 

if the mortal should fall asleep, he 

would forget to breath. Eventually 

Ondine’s cursed lover succumbed 

to complete exhaustion, 

fell asleep, and died. 

The name “Ondine’s Curse” 

was first used in 1962 to describe 

three brain surgery patients who 

died resulting from the loss of the 

autonomic drive to breath during 

sleep. The name subsequently 

came to be used to describe a rare 

congenital syndrome in babies 

with a similar inadequate breathing 

drive. More recently experts 

advise the name Ondine’s Curse 

be dropped since the word “curse” 

implies wrongdoing and guilt to 

the parents of these unfortunate 

babies. 

I think this story better relates 

to the broad category of conditions 

called sleep apnea, which involves 

troubled breathing while 

asleep. The word apnea actually 

means “no breath” or “breathless.” 

Less than one percent of patients 

with sleep apnea is due to 

weakness of the brain-controlled 

autonomic drive to breath, called 

central apnea; 85 percent is due 

to floppy-fatty airways that obstruct 

breathing, called obstructive 

apnea; and the rest is due to 

a combination of central and obstructive 

causes, called complex 

apnea. 

Whichever the type, sleep 

apnea can be a dangerous, even 

deadly condition, resulting in excessive 

daytime sleepiness, depression, 

anger and irritability, 

memory loss, and even strokes. 

What’s more, prolonged low-oxygen 

causes increased risk for high 

blood pressure, congestive heart 

failure, heart attack, and sudden 

death. 

Clues for this serious condition 

include high blood pressure, 

morning headaches, sudden 

awakening with shortness of 

breath, observed spells of breathing 

cessation, especially in people 

who are obese, loud snorers, 

smokers, or sedated by alcohol or 

sleeping meds. Then again sometimes 

there is little warning and 

sleep apnea is a silent killer. 

If you or your spouse could 

have sleep apnea, see your doctor. 

You wouldn’t want to have Ondine’s 

curse.

Twenty-nine House members support mistreatment of 

family farmers and ranchers 

Washington, D.C. - A barricade 

has been erected by the U.S. 

House of Representatives that 

supports the mistreatment of 

U.S. family farmers and ranchers. 

Up until now the congressional 

obstruction was carried out secretly 

behind closed doors. For 

the first time, however, a roll-call 

vote was recently taken that reveals 

which members of Congress 

are working for the multinational 

meatpackers. They work to guarantee 

that family farmers and 

ranchers have no recourse when 

meatpackers engage in wrongful 

actions such as retaliation, fraud, 

bad faith, and denial of due 

process. These wrongful actions 

are driving tens of thousands of 

family farmers and ranchers out 

of business each year. 

"We now know the names of 

these Congressional members 

who work at the behest of these 

meatpackers that are trying to 

force independent livestock producers 

out of business so they can 

take control of our food supply," 

said R-CALF USA CEO Bill 

Bullard. 

These meatpacker-beholden 

members of Congress include: 

Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.), Rodney 

Alexander (R- La.), Sanford 

Bishop, (D-Ga.), Jo Bonner (R- 

Ala.), Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), Tom 

Cole (R-Okla.), Ander Crenshaw 

(R-Fla.), Henry Cuellar (D- 

Texas), John Culberson (R- 

Texas), Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), 

Chuck Fleischmann (R-Tenn.), 

Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.), Rodney 

Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.), Kay 

Granger (R-Texas), Tom Graves 

(R-Ga.), Andy Harris (R-Md.), 

David Joyce (R-Ohio), Jack 

Kingston (R-Ga.), Tom Latham 

(R-Iowa), Alan Nunnelee (R- 

Miss.), Bill Owens (D-N.Y.), Ed 

Pastor (D-Ariz.), Harold Rogers 

(R-Ky.), Tom Rooney (R-Fla.), 

Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), David 

Valadao (R-Calif.), Frank Wolf 

(R-Va.), Steve Womack (R-Ark.), 

and Keven Yoder (R-Kan.). 

Their stealthy work began 

with the 2012 Agriculture Appropriations 

Bill. The U.S. House included 

a meatpacker-protection 

rider that prohibited the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture (USDA) 

from finalizing rules to prohibit 

meatpackers from retaliating 

against livestock and poultry producers 

who complain to USDA or 

to their members of Congress regarding 

unfair or unlawful treatment. 

In addition, the rider 

prohibited USDA from finalizing 

rules to stop meatpackers from 

engaging in fraud, bad faith, denial 

of due process and other unfair, 

deceptive or discriminatory 

practices. Similar meatpackerprotection 

language was slipped 

into the 2013 Agriculture Appropriations 

Bill. Shamelessly, the 

U.S. House Committee on Appropriations 

has recently voted to 

again include the meatpackerprotection 

rider in the 2014 Agriculture 

Appropriations Bill that 

will soon be voted on by the entire 

U.S. House. 

Not surprisingly, the meatpacker-protection 

rider (Amendment 

No. 7) was sponsored by Republican 

Representative Steve 

Womack of Arkansas. Tyson 

Fresh Meats, Inc., the largest beef 

packer in the United States, is 

headquartered in Arkansas. 

According to Bullard, the 25 

Republican and 4 Democrat Representatives 

who voted 29 to 17 to 

pass the meatpacker-protection 

rider do not support family farmers 

and ranchers. 

"Quite to the contrary, what 

they propose essentially authorizes 

multinational meatpackers 

to continue to engage in retaliation, 

fraud, denial of due process, 

and bad faith. Their actions will 

authorize these multinational 

meatpackers to continue to run 

rough shod over the hard-working 

U.S. farmers and ranchers with 

no fear of consequences," said 

Bullard. 

On Tuesday, the White House 

reportedly stated that it would 

veto the 2014 Agriculture Appropriations 

Bill due to budget cuts 

for the USDA Food Safety and Inspection 

Service (FSIS). 

"Like the failed House version 

of the 2013 Farm Bill that also included 

language to protect the appalling 

and abusive actions of the 

meatpackers, the U.S. House, the 

U.S. Senate, and the White House 

should again reject completely 

the efforts of beholden congressional 

members to assist their 

meatpacker buddies in the exploitation 

of U.S. farmers and 

ranchers," concluded Bullard. 

Area supporters donate over 

$20,000 to R-CALF USA during 

Ft. Pierre rollover auction 

Longtime R-CALF USA members 

Dean and Delia Johnson of 

Fairburn, S.D. recently donated a 

calf for an R-CALF USA rollover 

sale. The final amount raised for 

the one-day event was $21,300. 

All proceeds from this event will 

go directly to helping protect the 

rights of U.S. independent cattle 

producers. 

The sale was hosted by Ft. 

Pierre Livestock Auction in Ft. 

Pierre, S.D. Ft. Pierre Livestock 

Auction hosts numerous fundraisers 

and meetings for R-CALF 

USA each year. 

Bryan Hanson, co-owner of Ft. 

Pierre Livestock and R-CALF 

USA Vice President and Region 

III Director, said, "I believe that 

all producers should have a voice 

when it comes to their livelihood. 

R-CALF USA not only gives them 

a voice, but keeps them informed 

of the many issues facing our industry." 

Dean and Delia Johnson said 

they support R-CALF USA "because 

we know for the cattle industry 

to have any hope of 

survival we had to have a national 

voice, one that was heard 

and respected on Capitol Hill. We 

found that in R-CALF USA. 

"We decided if we donated a 

calf every year when we sold we 

might be able to help out just a 

little. It doesn't seem like much, 

but maybe it encourages others to 

take part in supporting the organization 

as well." 

They continued, "And hearing 

the sale barn talk about the sale 

just puts R-CALF on the front 

burner so to speak, keeps people 

thinking about R-CALF, the battles 

we are fighting and the ones 

we've won. As an industry we did 

not get in this position overnight 

and we won't fix it overnight. We 

just need to hang in there."

NAP Coverage Available for 

2014 Annual Forage Crops 

South Dakota FSA will offer 

Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance 

Program (NAP) coverage 

for 2014 crops that are planted 

annually and used for livestock 

feed or fodder. 

The Risk Management Agency 

(FSA) recently announced a pilot 

program that offers a CAT level 

Rainfall Index-Annual Forage Insurance 

Plan to producers in 

Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North 

Dakota, Oklahoma and South 

Dakota. 

Because there is limited time 

USDA/Farm Service Agency News 

for producers in these states to 

transition from NAP to the new 

RMA pilot program, an exception 

was made that will allow the 

states to continue offering NAP 

coverage for 2014. However, NAP 

coverage will not be available for 

2015 annual forage crops. 

Eligible producers can apply 

for 2014 NAP coverage at their 

County FSA Office using form 

CCC-471, Application for Coverage. 

Producers must file the application 

and service fee by the 

September 30, 2013 deadline for 

fall seeded rye for forage and 

March 15, 2014 deadline for 

spring seeded crops and grass for 

hay and graze. The service fee is 

the lesser of $250 per crop or $750 

per producer per administrative 

county, not to exceed a total of 

$1,875 for a producer with farming 

interests in multiple counties. 

Producers who meet the definition 

of a limited resource farmer 

or rancher can request a waiver of 

the service fee. 

NAP provides financial assistance 

to producers of noninsurable 

crops when low yields, loss of 

inventory or prevented planting 

occur due to normal disasters. 

"The easiest way for producers 

to protect their investment is to 

purchase an insurance policy," 

"The past few years have proved 

that natural disasters are unavoidable, 

and producers can recover 

if they take the necessary 

precautions to mitigate risks." 

For more information about 

NAP, please contact your FSA 

County office or visit 

www.fsa.usda.gov.

Grasshopper inspection 

The South Dakota Department 

of Agriculture is urging land owners 

to take the necessary steps 

now to manage grasshopper populations. 

“Since April snowstorms led to 

a late onset of spring and May 

rains pushed back planting, producers 

now find themselves at the 

start of haying season,” said 

South Dakota Secretary of Agriculture 

Lucas Lentsch. “In the 

hustle and bustle of the next 

month, it is important to remember 

that now is the best time to 

scout for grasshoppers.” 

Each summer, South Dakota 

faces the possibility of destructive 

grasshopper outbreaks. Predicting 

these outbreaks before they 

occur is very challenging and 

early scouting is the key to 

grasshopper management. 

“The dry conditions in the 

summer of 2012 may have actually 

helped reduce the outbreak 

potential for this summer,” said 

Mike Stenson with the South 

Dakota Department of Agriculture 

(SDDA). 

Later hatching species had 

limited green vegetation needed 

for growth and eventually egg 

laying. In some cases, extreme 

heat can actually lead to nymphal 

mortality. This year’s cool wet 

spring will aid in the suppression 

of early hatching species by increasing 

the presence of bacteria 

and disease within the grasshopper 

population.

has been on our side and a large 

scale outbreak is unlikely, it is 

still important to check your own 

fields and pastures for newly 

hatching grasshoppers,” said 

Stenson. 

Grasshoppers go through five 

nymphal or instar stages before 

they reach adulthood and sexual 

maturity. During the nymphal 

stages the grasshoppers are very 

susceptible to environmental conditions 

as well as pesticide treatment 

practices. Once they reach 

adulthood they begin laying eggs 

almost immediately and become 

much harder to kill. 

Although treating adults that 

are actively laying eggs might 

curb current feeding damage, it 

will not break the life cycle or produce 

benefits in subsequent 

years. 

“Reports are coming in of 

grasshoppers hatching in the 

southern most South Dakota 

counties,” said Stenson. “If the 

hatch continues at a normal pace, 

the last two weeks of June will be 

the perfect time for grasshopper 

control activities.” 

The South Dakota Department 

of Agriculture and USDA - Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection 

Service will be collaborating to 

keep the public abreast of the current 

grasshopper situation and 

provide producers with information 

on grasshopper treatment options 

specific to their operation. 

For more information on 

grasshopper control in South 

Dakota, please contact Mike 

Stenson with the SD Department 

of Agriculture at 605-773-3796. 

10 reasons why Congress must act 

to pass a Food, Farm and Jobs Bill 

Getting a Food, Farm and Jobs 

Bill passed this year is essential 

– and it can’t fall victim to politics 

as usual. Too much is at stake, 

and too many people lose out if 

Congress can’t act. Here are 10 

good reasons why Congress must 

take action as soon as possible to 

achieve passage of a Farm Bill 

this year: 

1. America’s farmers, ranchers 

and producers need certainty 

about the next five years of U.S. 

farm policy, to continue the recent 

momentum of the U.S. agricultural 

economy and rising farm income. 

2. Livestock producers need 

disaster assistance applied 

retroactively, in light of a longterm 

drought that has forced the 

liquidation of herds to the lowest 

level in decades. 

3. Dairy producers need an effective 

support system that helps 

them to stem the decline in the 

number of U.S. dairy operations. 

4. Farmers, landowners and 

forest owners need streamlined 

conservation programs that will 

make a more efficient and effective 

use of limited conservation 

funds, while building on record 

conservation efforts underway 

today. 

5. Organic and specialty crop 

producers need renewed and expanded 

access to Farm Bill programs 

that have fueled the 

growth of a multibillion dollar industry 

in direct-to-consumer 

sales. 

6. Researchers and students at 

Land Grant Universities need 

support to meet modern challenges 

in agriculture and carry 

out the innovation we need to sustainably 

increase agricultural 

production. A new, nonprofit research 

foundation provided by a 

Food, Farm and Jobs Bill could 

leverage millions of dollars of private 

sector funding to provide this 

assistance. 

7. Job seekers in rural America 

need new and expanded investments 

in renewable energy, biofuel, 

and biobased product 

manufacturing, all of which can 

create jobs in rural areas. 

8. Beginning producers – including 

a growing number of veterans 

returning to the land – 

need technical assistance, credit 

and affordable crop insurance to 

get started and keep growing. 

This is especially important as we 

seek to reverse the rising average 

age of America’s farm population. 

9. Producers and small business 

owners need a resolution of 

the Brazil cotton dispute that if 

left unsolved, threatens hundreds 

of millions of dollars annually in 

tariff penalties against U.S. agricultural 

products and other 

American-made goods. 

10. And anyone who is concerned 

about the Federal deficit 

needs a Food, Farm and Jobs Bill 

that provides meaningful deficit 

reduction. 

These all are good reasons why 

a Food, Farm and Jobs Bill can’t 

wait. Americans across the country 

are impacted by this important 

legislation, and Congress 

must achieve passage of a Food, 

Farm and Jobs Bill as soon as 

possible. 

Keep up with your city, school, 

and county...

He wants to know if the City will

Councilman pay for the Building Committee 

as this committee will meet quite

Faith Library Sign: 

Cathy Smith and Angela Ostrander 

came before the Council to ask for $500 

which could come out of the Community 

Development Fund to help pay for a sign 

at the Library. They are currently trying 

to get some donations. It was stated that 

since they were still getting donations, 

maybe it would be better to wait to see 

what is needed at the end. Riley made a 

motion, seconded by Hellekson to table 

until the first meeting in August to see if 

the Library will still need money to finish 

paying for the sign. Motion carried. 

Executive Session:

session at 7:48 PM. Mayor Haines 

stepped out of the meeting and Karen 

Inghram took over as president. 

Inghram declared the Council out of 

executive session at 8:41 PM. 

Year End Financials: 


by Hellekson to approve the 2012 year 

end financials. All yes votes. Motion carried. 

Approve purchase of Software: 

When the computer technician came 

to set up the new computer at the Lone 

Tree Bar, the company who we purchased 

the software from prior for the 

bar inventory system is not a company 

any longer and the software is not available. 

New software is needed as well as 

other equipment from the new computer 

to the register. Also, the mother board 

in one of the registers has been damaged. 

The computer technician felt that 

it was probably due to a lightning storm 

that happened Memorial Day weekend 

and the computer and register mother 

board should be turned in to the insurance. 

Riley made a motion, seconded 

by Inghram to purchase the software 

and associated costs that will incur 

loading the new software and equipment. 


Approve Purchase of Equipment: 

Donn Dupper found out that the 

mowers purchased last year will not 

hook up to the tractors that the City currently 

has. Surplus property had a 1995 

Case 4210 tractor available for $5,000. 

Dupper stated that there was also a 

2003 Kawasaki Mule available for $500 

that could be used for spraying mosquitoes 

and other various things. Inghram 

made a motion, seconded by Lightfield 

to purchase the tractor and mule. All yes 

votes. Motion carried. 

Dupper also stated that the street 

sweeper is not working and is not worth 

repairing. He has been looking at some 

that the parts from this sweeper would 

be useable on a different model. Dupper 

suggests to cut back on the street 

project and purchase the street 

sweeper. Inghram made a motion, seconded 

by Berndt to bid out for a street 

sweeper and open at the first meeting 

in August. All yes votes. Motion carried. 

The air conditioner outside unit at 

the library has been damaged and 

turned in to the insurance. Joel Afdahl 

was called to look at the unit and he 

stated that it is too damaged to comb it 

out and that if a new outside unit wasn’t 

replaced soon, it would damage the unit 

that is in the ceiling and would have to 

be taken out from the roof. The estimate 

was $4,500 for the unit, Freon $250 and 

labor $200. Riley made a motion, seconded 

by Berndt to accept the purchase 

of the air conditioner unit. All yes votes. 


Elected Officials Workshop: 

The Elected Officials Workshop is 

July 24th in Pierre and any Councilman 

that wants to go needs to let the office 

know. 

Dust Control – Mag Water: 

Lightfield stated she had a call about 

people not wanting the magnesium 

chloride water put on the gravel road. 

Bill Hibner stated that he was the one 

who called an has talked with several 

neighbors who are all in favor of not 

having the magnesium chloride water 

put down as it is corrosive to vehicles. 

When it rains, the magnesium water 

does not hold and since it has been 

raining he feels that it would be a waste 

of money. Hibner would like to put the 

money used for the mag water towards 

paving or chip sealing the road a ways 

if necessary. Inghram stated she does 

not want that so it looks like she is the 

only one getting the benefit. After much 

discussion, Lightfield made a motion, 

seconded by Riley to rescind the motion 

made on June 4th to approve the magnesium 

water. Four -yes votes. Berndt 

and Inghram – no. Motion carried. 


Hellekson to do a feasibility study for 

paving or chip sealing area roads of the 

City’s that are graveled. Five – yes 

votes. Inghram – no. Motion carried. 

Airport – Door lock at Airport: 

Mike Merriman would like a keypad 

lock out at the airport lounge that could 

be keyed to what code pilots would 

know and he would donate a computer. 

The cost would be around $150. 

Spencer made a motion, seconded by 

Lightfield to approve the keypad lock. All 


Pool kids – extra help: 


by Berndt to approve the pool kids 

being able to water plants for the City to 

get a few extra hours since they all are 

not getting many hours. Motion carried. 

Ice House: 


how soon the repairs will be done on 

the ice house and what can be done to 

clean the inside of the ice house. 

City Mowing Specifications: 

After much discussion on better 

specifications and not having to be told 

when the mowing can be done, the 

issue was dropped. 

Quote for Dock at the Lake: 

Bob Linn Construction submitted the 

following quote for the cement work that 

needed to be done for the boat ramp 

landing by the dock at Durkee Lake: 

$5,500 for a 65’X14’x6” w/24” o.c. ½” 

rebar and City will remove existing material. 


Lightfield to approve the quote of 

$5,500 from Bob Linn Construction. All 


Building Permits: 

Ladonna Mielke submitted a building 

permit for a 20’X24’ raised patio deck 

on Lots 7&8, Block 17. Hellekson made 

a motion, seconded by Riley to accept 

the building permit. Motion carried. 

Greg Fisher submitted a building 

permit for a fence on Lot 11, Block 21 

which Donn Dupper has approved. 

Spencer made a motion, seconded by 

Riley to approve the building permit.
