Commissioners proceed with electronic imagining for Register<br />

of Deeds office, deny billing for gravel screening and crushing<br />

~ by Robyn Jones ~<br />

The Jackson County Commissioners<br />

held their regular monthly<br />

meeting on Monday, April 9, with<br />

all commissioners in attendance.<br />

Mental illness billings and<br />

health care estimation notices were<br />

reviewed and all requests for payments<br />

were denied.<br />

Jackson County States Attorney<br />

Dan Van Gorp is revising the letter<br />

that is sent to the provider when<br />

the billings are denied.<br />

County Auditor Vicki Wilson<br />

presented the financial statement.<br />

A motion carried to transfer $3,000<br />

into the E911 Fund and approve<br />

the financial statement.<br />

A tax comparison for 2010 and<br />

2011 taxes was presented showing<br />

the tax levies and property valuation.<br />

Curt Reiter gave a presentation<br />

regarding electronic imaging for<br />

the Register of Deeds office. All documents<br />

need to be scanned and Reiter<br />

will rent the scanners to the<br />

county, which will vary in price according<br />

to the size of the scanner.<br />

Reiter stated that Register of<br />

Deeds Mitzi Mitchell will be able to<br />

scan the small documents, but he<br />

would do the larger plats and also<br />

change the blueprint documents to<br />

a white back ground with black<br />

type, so they’re easier to read. A<br />

motion carried to enter into a contract<br />

with Curt Reiter for imaging<br />

services.<br />

Emergency Manager Jackie Stilwell<br />

stated that Jackson County<br />

had been awarded a Hazardous<br />

Mitigation Grant and accepting the<br />

grant was approved.<br />

Bills were reviewed and all were<br />

approved as presented, except<br />

billings from Clinical Laboratory<br />

and Community Health Center of<br />

the Black Hills were denied.<br />

The Kadoka Area School Board<br />

held their regular monthly meeting<br />

on Wednesday, April 11 at 7:00 p.m.<br />

The agenda, financial report,<br />

bills and minutes from the March<br />

12 and 28 meetings were approved.<br />

Within the superintendent’s report,<br />

Jamie Hermann stated that<br />

the school improvement plan for<br />

each attendance center in the district<br />

is complete and has been submitted<br />

to the SD Department of<br />

Education, as required by Title 1.<br />

DakotaStep testing is near completion<br />

and due into the SD Dept.<br />

of Education by April 20.<br />

Section one of the Indian Education<br />

requirement has been completed<br />

and there will be a small<br />

increase in the amount allocated to<br />

the district.<br />

In previous years these funds<br />

have been used to provide a bus<br />

monitor and instructional aide positions.<br />

With these funds, a video<br />

surveillance system will be installed<br />

on the Wanblee and Interior<br />

buses. It is being considered to use<br />

the remaining fund balance to supply<br />

students with second portions<br />

for no charge at lunch.<br />

The budget process for the 2012-<br />

2013 school year has began.<br />

If the district qualifies as a heav-<br />

Fuel bids were opened and reviewed.<br />

A motion carried to accept<br />

the bids from Midwest Coop for<br />

bulk unleaded gas, #1 and #2 bulk<br />

diesel and propane. An additional<br />

motion carried to accept the bid<br />

from Discount Fuel for unleaded<br />

gas, #1 and #2 diesel at the pumps<br />

for the current daily pump price.<br />

The commissioners approved for<br />

the treasurer, auditor and register<br />

of deeds to attend the spring workshop<br />

for elected officials on May 9-<br />

11 in Pierre.<br />

Highway Superintendent Mitch<br />

Olney updated the commissioners<br />

on road maintenance being done.<br />

Currently they are completeling<br />

some work in the northern part of<br />

the county and plans include to do<br />

some on the road leading to the<br />

Breck residence and move to the<br />

southern part of the county.<br />

He stated that the push cat is<br />

being repaired in Rapid City and a<br />

demonstration of a mulcher is<br />

being scheduled to be held in late<br />

April.<br />

Olney presented quotes on<br />

2,000 - 2,500 watt generators. After<br />

discussion, it was determined that<br />

a larger generator would be more<br />

beneficial to the county.<br />

Olney made contact with<br />

Hogen’s Hardware and the purchase<br />

of a 9,000 watt generator in<br />

the amount of $769.00.<br />

Prior to purchasing a generator,<br />

the county had been using a generator<br />

owned by Olney. In exchange<br />

for the use of his generator, the<br />

commissioners declared four old<br />

bridge planks surplus and traded<br />

them to Olney as compensation for<br />

the use of his generator.<br />

Olney questioned about adding<br />

a dove tail to the flat bed trailer.<br />

Earlier it was agreed once the surplused<br />

metal beams had been sold,<br />

those funds would be used to cover<br />

the expense of the dove tail. Earlier<br />

ily impacted district, additional<br />

funding would be available through<br />

Impact Aid. There are several criterias<br />

that must be met to receive<br />

this status, including the creation<br />

of a pension fund through the levy<br />

collection process. The levy for this<br />

fund would be set at $0.30 per<br />

thousand, but the district would<br />

decrease the capital outlay fund<br />

levy by $0.30, so the tax base would<br />

not been increased.<br />

If the district would receive the<br />

distinction of heavily impacted, the<br />

district would receive approximately<br />

an additional one million<br />

dollars in funding.<br />

Elementary Principal Roger<br />

Jensen gave an update on activities<br />

for the remainder of the school year<br />

including field trip and music program<br />

dates.<br />

Jensen stated that the Response<br />

to Intervention (RtI)assessements<br />

for grades K-5 have been completed<br />

and there will be an RtI conference<br />

in July at Chamberlain.<br />

Jensen also presented a staff<br />

training schedule for teachers to<br />

attend to help prepare them for the<br />

common core testing that will be<br />

implemented in 2014.<br />

Secondary Principal Tim Hagedorn<br />

stated that the handbook is in<br />

the process of being updated and<br />

changes will be presented at the<br />

next board meeting.<br />

Piping in sprinkler system<br />

Work began on the sprinkler<br />

system at the Kadoka Nursing<br />

Home on Tuesday, April 10. A twomember<br />

crew has turned into four<br />

guys from Complete Contracting<br />

Solutions.<br />

Workers are boring through the<br />

cement walls and placing pipe<br />

along the ceiling. Each room will<br />

have three sprinkler heads installed.<br />

“It’s dusty, noisy and you need<br />

ear plugs,” said Ruby Sanftner.<br />

Once completed there will be a<br />

suspended ceiling put in and the<br />

lights will be lowered.<br />

Work will also continue in the<br />

clinic, WIC office and the basement.<br />

quotes for the dove tail were $3,500<br />

to $3,800. The commissioners<br />

asked Olney to obtain a current<br />

price qoute.<br />

Olney presented a bill from T.F.<br />

Luke & Sons for the crushing and<br />

screening that has been completed<br />

at the Kennedy pit. Van Gorp reviewed<br />

the bill and contract and<br />

stated that the commissioners<br />

could approve to pay the bill or<br />

wait until the project was completed,<br />

either decision was acceptable<br />

without breeching the<br />

contract. A motion carried to deny<br />

the billing and to have Van Gorp<br />

draft a letter to Luke with their decision.<br />

A motion carried to go into executive<br />

session at 2:37 p.m. for personnel<br />

matters. They returned to<br />

open session at 3:17 p.m., with no<br />

action taken.<br />

Commissioner Ronnie Twiss<br />

said that he had contacted Ken<br />

Barlett for an estimate on repairs<br />

that need to be done at the Interior<br />

shop.<br />

Olney stated that the road department<br />

should receive four different<br />

radios. Discussion was held<br />

on the possiblity of upgrading the<br />

repeater or if it would need to be replaced.<br />

Jackson County Sheriff Ray<br />

Clements, Jr. presented a bill from<br />

the jail in Winner.<br />

The commissioners then entered<br />

into executive session at 3:30 p.m.<br />

with Clements present. At 3:47<br />

p.m. they returned to open session,<br />

with no action taken.<br />

Discussion was held on liability<br />

if the county would assist at a fire<br />

to put in a fire line. Wilson will<br />

check with the insurance company<br />

prior to the next meeting.<br />

With no other business the<br />

meeting adjourned. The next regular<br />

meeting will be held on May 14<br />

was discussed.<br />

An addendum was approved and<br />

added to the resolution reads as follows.<br />

“It is further resolved, that the<br />

ban on open burning does not apply<br />

to (1) those areas falling within the<br />

boundaries of any permitted commercial,<br />

state, or federal campground;<br />

(2) burn barrels, grate<br />

covered outdoor fireplaces, charcoal<br />

and liquid fuel grills, and (3) a contained<br />

fire used to heat irons for<br />

branding purposes.<br />

“It is further resolved, that the<br />

ban on open burning shall be in effect<br />

during any period of time that<br />

the fire danger, as determined by<br />

use of the South Dakota grassland<br />

fire danger index published by the<br />

National Weather Service, has<br />

reached the very high or extreme<br />

category in Pennington County.<br />

School board adopts policies for weather or emergency make<br />

exterior specifications have not.<br />

Hermann stated that areas of<br />

sheetrock, insulation and some<br />

windows will be replaced.<br />

The policy committee reviewed<br />

corporal punishment and the sexual<br />

harassment section of the policy<br />

book and proposed a policy<br />

change that addresses the issues if<br />

board members excuse themselves<br />

or abstain from voting due to a conflict<br />

of interest and there is not a<br />

quorum casting a vote, then the<br />

passage of the motion will be determined<br />

by majority of the remaining<br />

board members.<br />

The board then entered into executive<br />

session at 7:30 p.m. with<br />

Hagedorn and a few citizens who<br />

falls below the very high category<br />

in Jackson County.”<br />

Highway Superintendent Mitch<br />

Olney informed the commissioners<br />

to purchase more culverts, which<br />

$1.00<br />

The 2011 South Dakota Youth<br />

Risk Behavior Survey Report has<br />

been released.<br />

Administered every other year,<br />

the Youth Risk Behavior Survey is<br />

a questionnaire that assesses the<br />

six priority health-risk behaviors<br />

that result in the greatest amount<br />

of morbidity, mortality and social<br />

problems among youth.<br />

About 1,800 students in grades<br />

9-12 at randomly selected public,<br />

private and Bureau of Indian Education<br />

schools participated in the<br />

survey.<br />

Key indicators included in the<br />

report are outlined below:<br />

•27 percent of students were<br />

bullied on school property in the<br />

past 12 months<br />

•20 percent had been bullied<br />

electronically during the past 12<br />

months<br />

•18 percent seriously considered<br />

attempting suicide in the past 12<br />

months<br />

•49 percent were physically ac-<br />

was approved.<br />

A bill from Regional Health Reference<br />

Laboratory was reviewed<br />

and denied in the amount of $375.<br />

County Auditor Vicki Wilson<br />

stated that an organization has<br />

submitted an application for a special<br />

events license for malt beverage.<br />

Since the permit does not need<br />

to be submitted to the state, the<br />

county needs to set the application<br />

fee. Following discussion, motion<br />

carried to set the fee at $25 per day.<br />

With no further business, the<br />

meeting adjourned.<br />

Jury takes 30 minutes to find Thomas<br />

Petersen guilty of wife's death<br />

Jurors needed only about 30<br />

minutes to convict Thomas Petersen<br />

on April 16, 2012.<br />

Prosecutor Doug Hammerand<br />

successfully argued that using<br />

three knives to inflict 129 cut or<br />

stab wounds demonstrated malice,<br />

deliberation, premeditation and<br />

specific intent to kill beyond a reasonable<br />

doubt.<br />

“Folks, it’s that easy. Use your<br />

common sense,” Hammerand told<br />

jurors during his closing statement.<br />

Judy Renee Petersen, 36, died on<br />

June 4, 2011. Her husband, now a<br />

convicted murderer, will be sentenced<br />

on the one-year anniversary<br />

of her death. He will serve life in<br />

prison with no chance for parole.<br />

Petersen is due back in Butler<br />

County District Court at 2 p.m.<br />

June 4.<br />

Edwin Case of Dallas, Texas,<br />

Renee Petersen’s brother, spoke for<br />

the family after the verdict came<br />

back about 4 p.m. Monday.<br />

The ordeal of the five-day trial<br />

had been “very agonizing,” Case<br />

said, and he thanked prosecutors,<br />

investigators and others who had<br />

shown support along the way.<br />

The speed with which jurors<br />

worked was gratifying, Case added,<br />

and the conclusion of Petersen’s<br />

guilt was therefore inescapable.<br />

“It was helpful. A jury finding a<br />

verdict that quickly makes it very<br />

obvious,” Case said.<br />

Defense attorney Susan Flander<br />

tried to argue the viciousness of the<br />

attack itself proved Petersen was<br />

intoxicated and unable to form specific<br />

intent to kill.<br />

During her closing remarks,<br />

Flander asked jurors to imagine<br />

the crime and how long the slashing<br />

and cutting would take.<br />

“Can you do it in 129 seconds?<br />

Can you do it in 258 seconds?” she<br />

asked.<br />

“It’s a frenzied attack done by a<br />

crazy guy or a drunk guy. In this<br />

case it’s a drunk guy,” Flander<br />

added.<br />

Thomas Petersen took the witness<br />

stand in his own defense Monday<br />

morning, claiming he blacked<br />

out after his wife threatened him<br />

with a knife and scratched his face<br />

deeply enough to draw blood.<br />

Petersen admitted “flashes of<br />

memory” and “stabbing at” his wife<br />

but denied he meant to kill or had<br />

any recollection of causing Renee<br />

Petersen’s fatal wounds. He<br />

vaguely recalled picking up three<br />

knives.<br />

“What’s the next thing you remember?”<br />

Flander asked.<br />

“Standing over her next to the<br />

front door,” Petersen said.<br />

Hammerand, during cross-examination,<br />

focused on intricacies<br />

that Petersen testified he could remember<br />

on the day Renee Petersen<br />

died.<br />

“If you did not have specific intent<br />

to kill, why did you stab her<br />

129 times?” Hammerand asked.<br />

“I don’t recall,” Petersen said.<br />

“Why did you use three separate<br />

knives?”<br />

“I don’t have an answer to that<br />

question,” Petersen said.<br />

During his closing remarks,<br />

Hammerand rejected the idea that<br />

Petersen blacked out.<br />

“Isn’t it interesting,” Hammerand<br />

said. “He can remember<br />

Renee’s ‘evil look’ ... but right after<br />

that, when the attack starts, the<br />

memory starts to go.”<br />

A national volunteer network of<br />

precipitation observers, or CoCo-<br />

RaHS (Community Collaborative<br />

Rain Hail & Snow Network) is<br />

looking for more volunteers to<br />

track precipitation events across<br />

South Dakota reported State Climatologist,<br />

Dennis Todey, during a<br />

recent iGrow Radio Network interview.<br />

"These are everyday people who<br />

enjoy measuring precipitation and<br />

are willing to report that on the internet,"<br />

he says, of the volunteers<br />

who measure and report after rain,<br />

hail and snow events.<br />

Despite today's automated technology,<br />

Todey believes local reporting<br />

is still essential in tracking the<br />

variability of rainfall.<br />

"It's a huge benefit to us to have<br />

people across the state who monitor<br />

precipitation. The biggest variability<br />

in weather across the state<br />

is how precipitation varies. Even<br />

with all the technology we have, we<br />

really need to have on-ground<br />

measurements all across the state<br />

to tell us what is really happening<br />

on the ground," he said. "Where we<br />

have heavy rain events, like flood<br />

Weather reporting volunteers needed<br />

ice has issued flash flood warnings<br />

based on people's reports on how<br />

much rain fall there was," he said.<br />

Todey says volunteer reports can<br />

also be useful in documenting<br />

drought conditions.<br />

"If people can tell us how many<br />

days they've gone without rainfall,<br />

it helps us document drought conditions<br />

and better support disaster<br />

declaration because of drought," he<br />

said.<br />

Volunteers willing to be part of<br />

the CoCoRaHS network must be<br />

willing to take daily precipitation<br />

readings between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.<br />

and report the events on-line. They<br />

are asked to use a standard 4-inch<br />

diameter rain gauge and will receive<br />

a small bit of training.<br />

Many Christians struggle to discipline themselves<br />

in the area of self-gratification. There are so many<br />

Willing to Wait for God's Way things we want right now. And to make matters worse,<br />

we usually have the ability to follow through on our desires.<br />

That's what the entire credit card industry is all about: have it now; pay later.<br />

But finances aren't the only area where we get into trouble. Some people are in a hurry to be married<br />

and therefore make an unwise choice regarding a mate. Others don't even see marriage as necessary and<br />

opt for premarital sex instead of waiting for the right person. Or maybe you're just in a hurry to become<br />

successful and well-respected in your career, never giving any thought to whether your pursuit aligns<br />

with God's plans for your life.<br />

One reason the Lord wants us to wait is to protect us from our own self-destructive ways. Those who<br />

can't say no to their own desires end up enslaved to them. God wants us to be mature believers who have<br />

the character and self-restraint to wait for Him to provide in His perfect time. Because the heavenly Father<br />

is omniscient, He alone knows what's best. You can trust that if He asks you to wait, He has something<br />

more wonderful in mind than you could ever provide for yourself.<br />

Does anything seem to have a power over you? If so, it may be an area that requires the practice of<br />

self-restraint. Yield to the Lord, and submit your desires to Him. Then, begin saying no to temptations<br />

as you wait for God to reveal His will for your life.<br />

Jury selected, compelling testimony<br />

delivered in Petersen murder trial<br />

Prosecutor Doug Hammerand<br />

opened his case against Thomas<br />

Petersen on Wednesday, April 11<br />

with compelling and emotional evidence,<br />

including testimony from<br />

an 18-year-old Eagle Scout.<br />

Cody George was only 17, however,<br />

when he discovered his<br />

mother’s bloody body in the family’s<br />

home in Greene and attempted<br />

CPR.<br />

Jurors learned George’s mother,<br />

Judy Renee Petersen, 36, suffered<br />

multiple injuries to her face, neck,<br />

head, chest and arms.<br />

“If you count every cut and stab<br />

wound, there’s 129,” Hammerand<br />

said.<br />

Thomas Petersen, Judy Renee<br />

Petersen’s husband and George’s<br />

stepfather, is on trial on a charge of<br />

first-degree murder. If convicted,<br />

he faces life in prison with no<br />

chance for parole.<br />

Petersen attacked his wife with<br />

three knives, Hammerand told jurors<br />

during his opening remarks.<br />

One was a filet knife, the second<br />

was a chef’s knife and the third<br />

was described as “short.” Two of the<br />

knives’ blades bent during the assault,<br />

according to Hammerand.<br />

“This case is not a whodunit,” he<br />

added.<br />

The fatal confrontation capped a<br />

downward spiral in the couple’s relationship.<br />

They had moved from<br />

Texas several years earlier because<br />

both liked the idea of living in Iowa<br />

and ultimately bought a home in<br />

Greene.<br />

Petersen worked as a Schwan<br />

delivery man. Renee Petersen was<br />

employed by a health clinic. But<br />

money was a problem, and eventually<br />

the van Renee Petersen drove<br />

was repossessed.<br />

“In June of last year, the marriage<br />

between Thomas and Renee<br />

Petersen was over,” Hammerand<br />

said.<br />

Petersen promised a family<br />

member he would make the divorce<br />

“as difficult as possible” for his wife<br />

and “make her life miserable,” according<br />

to Hammerand.<br />

Defense attorney Susan Flander<br />

conceded the point, even suggesting<br />

jurors would indeed find her<br />

client guilty, although not of firstdegree<br />

murder. She noted Petersen’s<br />

history with mental health<br />

issues and what she described as a<br />

serious drinking problem.<br />

“This is the action of a man<br />

under the influence of alcohol,”<br />

Flander said during her opening<br />

statement.<br />

That, she said, means Petersen<br />

could not form specific intent to<br />

kill. According to Flander, jurors<br />

must then conclude Petersen is<br />

guilty of a no more than second-degree<br />

murder.<br />

Renee Petersen got close to her<br />

husband during an argument and<br />

may have brandished something<br />

silver in Petersen’s direction, according<br />

to Flander.<br />

“He felt something against his<br />

testicles and Renee said something<br />

about ‘cutting them off’ and ‘waking<br />

up without them,’ ” Flander<br />

said.<br />

Because he had been drinking<br />

all through the day leading up to<br />

the fatal confrontation, Petersen<br />

blacked out, according to Flander’s<br />

version of events.<br />

“The next thing he knows, he<br />

wakes up and he saw a horrific<br />

sight,” Flander told jurors. “His<br />

only thought was to get his 2-yearold<br />

son out of there.”<br />

Law enforcement officials apprehended<br />

Petersen in South Dakota.<br />

He had the couple’s youngest child<br />

with him, according to numerous<br />

sources.<br />

Hammerand anticipated the<br />

question of specific intent and intoxication,<br />

which from the attorneys’<br />

opening statements appears a<br />

central issue in Petersen’s case.<br />

“His specific intent when he<br />

grabbed the first knife, the second<br />

knife and the third knife was to kill<br />

Renee Petersen,” Hammerand<br />

said.<br />

Jurors also heard from Beverly<br />

Truax, a dispatcher for Butler<br />

County who first spoke to Renee<br />

Petersen’s son, Cody George. Hammerand<br />

also played a recording of<br />

the 911 call from June 4, 2011. On<br />

it, George frantically pleads for<br />

emergency crews to hurry.<br />

“I need them here now,” the boy<br />

said.<br />

“Hang in there, man. I know it<br />

seems like forever,” a male dispatcher<br />

responded.<br />

“Momma, wake up,” George said<br />

later, adding “there’s no pulse or<br />

anything.”<br />

“Just keep pumping, man,” the<br />

dispatcher said.<br />

Many in the courtroom audience,<br />

including Renee Petersen’s<br />

mother, wept as the six-minute<br />

recording played.<br />

Six men and six women will determine<br />

Petersen’s guilt or innocence.<br />

Defense attorneys,<br />

prosecutors and the court picked<br />

the group from a field of 92 potential<br />

candidates.<br />

The process began at 9 a.m.<br />

Tuesday and concluded when those<br />

selected took an oath at 11:30 a.m.<br />

Wednesday. The court also selected<br />

two alternates — a man and a<br />

woman.<br />

Petersen appeared comfortable<br />

during the first two days of his<br />

trial. He actively participated with<br />

his defense team, Flander and Annette<br />

Boehlje, as they eliminated<br />

potential jurors Wednesday morning.<br />

At one point, Petersen smiled<br />

with others in the courtroom when<br />

Flander asked if any potential<br />

juror had ever been described as<br />

“stubborn or willful by anyone<br />

other than their spouse.”<br />

SD officers officers testify in<br />

Petersen trial on chase dangers<br />

Aided by technology, jurors on<br />

Thursday heard from the late<br />

Renee Judy Petersen and her husband,<br />

Thomas Petersen, the man<br />

accused of murdering her, at the<br />

second day of trail, April 12, 2012.<br />

“He was making threats against<br />

himself and me,” Renee Petersen<br />

texted.<br />

The message went to Thomas<br />

Petersen’s sister, Kelly Svebek,<br />

about two months before a fatal<br />

stabbing claimed Renee Petersen’s<br />

life.<br />

Thomas Petersen also “hinted<br />

at” killing himself if he did not win<br />

full custody of his children as the<br />

couple headed for divorce, according<br />

to Renee Petersen’s texts.<br />

He also “planned on attending a<br />

funeral in two weeks, and it wasn’t<br />

his.”<br />

Authorities allege Petersen<br />

stabbed and cut his wife more than<br />

120 times on June 4, 2011. He allegedly<br />

used three knives in the attack.<br />

Renee Petersen’s son, Cody<br />

George, discovered her body in the<br />

family’s home in Greene.<br />

Petersen, however, allegedly fled<br />

the scene with the couple’s 2-yearold<br />

son.<br />

Jurors on Thursday learned how<br />

close Petersen came to losing his<br />

own life during a confrontation<br />

June 5, 2011.<br />

Bryan Warner, a federal park<br />

law enforcement officer in June<br />

2011, testified about the pursuit in<br />

South Dakota that ultimately led<br />

to Petersen’s arrest.<br />

During the chase, Warner said<br />

he topped 100 mph in his patrol vehicle<br />

and watched as Petersen<br />

forced a sheriff’s patrol car off a<br />

road.<br />

Warner testified seeing Petersen<br />

eject his 2-year-old son from his<br />

pickup after stopping briefly during<br />

the pursuit.<br />

“I saw the defendant throw<br />

something out of the door. At the<br />

time I couldn’t comprehend was it<br />

was,” Warner said.<br />

“I realized it was the child that<br />

we were looking for,” as a result of<br />

an Amber Alert, he added.<br />

Officials were able to narrow<br />

their search for Petersen because<br />

he used a credit card in South<br />

Dakota. Warner was just a few<br />

miles away and deduced Petersen’s<br />

likely route.<br />

“There were only a couple of<br />

ways for the individual to go,”<br />

Warner said.<br />

While being taken into custody,<br />

Petersen talked about hoping for a<br />

cliff to drive off, according to<br />

Warner. He also suggested he<br />

wanted officers to shoot him.<br />

“He said he wished one of the officers<br />

had an itchy trigger finger,”<br />

Tornado warning systems to be tested April 25<br />

A statewide tornado drill will be<br />

conducted for South Dakota by the<br />

National Weather Service between<br />

9:00 and 9:30 am MDT (10:00 and<br />

10:30 a.m. CDT) on Wednesday,<br />

April 25. Because the exercise is<br />

used to ensure communications<br />

and warning systems are functioning<br />

properly before storm season,<br />

people will see and hear the alerts<br />

used for tornadoes.<br />

Outdoor warning sirens will be<br />

sounded in many towns. The sirens<br />

may not be heard inside homes and<br />

office buildings, as they are intended<br />

to alert people who are outdoors<br />

away from radio or TV.<br />

The drill will also include activation<br />

of the Emergency Alert System,<br />

which will interrupt local<br />

media broadcasts. The public<br />

should be aware that the scroll on<br />

television will look like a real warn-<br />

Advertise in<br />

our B&P for only<br />

$31.50 every<br />

A great way to keep the<br />

focus on your business!<br />

Warner said.<br />

Warner and other officers<br />

trained their weapons on the man<br />

they believed was the subject of an<br />

Amber Alert issued in Iowa. A<br />

South Dakota trooper was using an<br />

assault rifle, and Warner had a<br />

shotgun, according to the park<br />

ranger.<br />

“I fired the first round of my<br />

shotgun,” Warner testified, “and<br />

racked the second shell.”<br />

Warner said Petersen made several<br />

“erratic” statements and cautioned<br />

the officer not to employ his<br />

Taser.<br />

“He said something to the effect<br />

of my day was going to go very<br />

badly, or end very badly,’” Warner<br />

said.<br />

Later parts of the incident were<br />

captured on video, recorded by a<br />

dashboard camera mounted in<br />

Trooper Clay Kartak’s patrol car.<br />

Kartak is a member of the South<br />

Dakota State Highway Patrol and<br />

joined the high-speed pursuit.<br />

On the video, jurors saw Petersen’s<br />

burning pickup and then a<br />

tense standoff that lasted about 20<br />

minutes.<br />

“Stop right there,” Kartak called<br />

to another officer on the video.<br />

“That’s the crazy guy.”<br />

Petersen walked several hundred<br />

yards, concealing a black item<br />

in a pocket as he walked along the<br />

highway.<br />

“He does have something in his<br />

hand. We do not know what it is,”<br />

Kartak reported at one point.<br />

Kartak admitted being “amped<br />

up” during what he described as a<br />

stressful situation. As officers jockeyed<br />

for position, closing in as Petersen<br />

retreated and backing off as<br />

he advanced, Kartak’s frustration<br />

seemed to show.<br />

Petersen swore repeatedly and<br />

threatened the officers.<br />

“My name is ___ ___,” he yelled.<br />

“I want this guy to shoot me,”<br />

Petersen added later, pointing at<br />

an officer holding what looked like<br />

a shotgun.<br />

In cross examining Kartak, defense<br />

attorney Susan Flander directed<br />

attention to another of her<br />

client’s comments.<br />

“He said his wife was trying to<br />

take his balls off with a paring<br />

knife. Is that correct?” Flander<br />

asked the trooper.<br />

“Yes,” he said.<br />

The video concluded when a officer<br />

fired his Taser. As Petersen<br />

went down in a ditch, at least nine<br />

law enforcement officials moved in<br />

quickly to subdue him and take<br />

him into custody.<br />

Belvidere News …<br />

Lookin’ Around<br />

by Syd Iwan<br />

Now that we’ve had April showers,<br />

we can probably expect May<br />

flowers. We can also probably expect<br />

the onset of garden fever and<br />

with a vengeance. This latter<br />

dreadful condition is when people,<br />

in the throes of optimism, plant a<br />

much bigger garden then they<br />

need or can reasonably expect to<br />

take care of. I speak from experience.<br />

In my younger years, I often<br />

plowed up a huge bit of ground<br />

with a tractor and then set to<br />

planting everything under the sun<br />

in great quantity. A normal garden<br />

would usually include radishes,<br />

leaf lettuce, peas, beans, beets,<br />

carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers,<br />

onions, corn, potatoes, squash and<br />

anything else that looked interesting.<br />

This was all fine and good<br />

until summer and reality took<br />

their toll. A large garden, as you<br />

know, will require a whole lot of<br />

weeding and, in this arid climate,<br />

watering. If you have much else to<br />

do in life, you may not be able to<br />

keep things under control long<br />

enough to get much of a harvest.<br />

As a result, I’ve had to rationalize.<br />

First off, many vegetables<br />

taste about as good when you purchase<br />

them as when you grow<br />

them. They may even be cheaper<br />

if you consider your time worth<br />

anything. Take green beans for instance.<br />

You can buy them quite<br />

reasonably in either frozen or<br />

canned form. I’ve never canned<br />

any that I’ve raised since those<br />

have been known to easily go bad<br />

and poison your entire family. We<br />

have frozen a lot of them, though,<br />

and I can’t really tell much difference<br />

between home-grown and<br />

purchased. Incidentally, my mom<br />

froze a lot of beans I’d raised, but<br />

she thought you should blanch<br />

them first which involves briefly<br />

boiling them before plunging them<br />

into ice water. Later we found you<br />

could just cut the dumb things up<br />

and freeze them without the tedium.<br />

There wasn’t much taste or<br />

texture difference between beans<br />

frozen the hard way or the easy<br />

way.<br />

Secondly, I’m not good with certain<br />

vegetables, such as corn. My<br />

dad could raise corn and so can my<br />

wife, but I don’t seem to have the<br />

knack. Mine grows two feet tall,<br />

tassels out, and puts out stunted<br />

little ears. Other veggies are so<br />

buggy that I tire of picking off bugs<br />

or fluffing everything with insecticide.<br />

Potatoes and every member<br />

of the cabbage family come to<br />

mind. The cabbage family would<br />

include cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower,<br />

Brussels sprouts, and<br />

kohlrabi.<br />

As a result of excessive gardening<br />

over many years, I have, of<br />

Belvidere News<br />

Grady Davis celebrated his<br />

twelfth birthday a couple times<br />

this last week. On Saturday, he and<br />

his family journeyed to Wall where<br />

they hooked up with their Irish<br />

friend, Trisha, visited with her and<br />

some friends of hers, toured Wall<br />

Drug, etc. Trisha has stayed at the<br />

Fortune Bed and Breakfast several<br />

times, and Francie visited her in<br />

Ireland last year. Then at Cowboy<br />

Church, held at the hall in<br />

Belvidere on Wednesday evening,<br />

they had a birthday cake and ice<br />

cream. Grady’s mom, Francie, is<br />

currently editing the South Dakota<br />

poetry magazine and will be working<br />

on that through April instead of<br />

writing Belvidere news.<br />

Rudy Reimann visited his folks,<br />

Rick and Rayma, in Midland on<br />

Friday and Saturday. His brothers,<br />

Stanley and Forrest, were home<br />

since they came to attend the Mike<br />

Schofield funeral in Philip on Friday.<br />

Rudy was a pallbearer at the<br />

funeral. Rudy was quite a bit<br />

younger than Mike but still considered<br />

him a good friend. Rudy said<br />

they had an inch of rain in Midland<br />

by Sunday morning and more came<br />

throughout the day.<br />

Bunny Green was visited on Saturday<br />

by her former daughter-inlaw,<br />

Penny, of Sturgis. Penny and a<br />

friend of hers brought all kinds of<br />

goodies with them for dinner and<br />

left the remainder for Bunny to use<br />

later. Penny is an artist, and<br />

Bunny says she can really paint.<br />

Bunny visited with Betty Kusick<br />

on the phone this week, but the two<br />

didn’t get together in person.<br />

Bunny also got a graduation announcement<br />

from the daughter of<br />

Dan Davidson of Idaho. Dan is the<br />

son of Marguerite Drabek and ran<br />

the truck stop in Kadoka for a<br />

number of years. He had some<br />

fairly serious health problems for a<br />

few years but seems to be recovered<br />

from those at present. Larry<br />

Grimme stopped by briefly on Sunday<br />

as did Wally Wells. Bunny also<br />

learned this week that her granddaughter,<br />

Cindy Houck’s husband,<br />

Garden Fever<br />

course, gained a lot of knowledge<br />

through experience. Oddly enough,<br />

though, I often get carried away<br />

with things to the extent that they<br />

nearly drive me crazy. Then, after<br />

I’ve learned all I want to know<br />

about a subject, I sort of lose interest<br />

and go on to other things. The<br />

learning somehow seems more important<br />

and interesting than going<br />

on and continually using the<br />

gained knowledge and experience.<br />

I can’t exactly explain why that is,<br />

but it has happened to me more<br />

than a few times. Rabbit raising<br />

and photography come to mind.<br />

I’m still in my computer, writing,<br />

and piano playing modes, however,<br />

and all are complicated enough<br />

that they should hold my interest<br />

for a while yet.<br />

As you know, however, homegrown<br />

tomatoes and cucumbers<br />

are much superior to anything you<br />

can buy in a store. Neither do they<br />

take a lot of special care. A little<br />

watering and fertilizing should do<br />

the job, especially if you don’t have<br />

a lot of other plants to tend. This<br />

year, then, my plans are to have<br />

about three tomato plants and a<br />

couple hills of cucumbers. I might<br />

also plant a few radishes just because<br />

I like to grow them. They<br />

only take a month from seed to<br />

dinner table and are fun. I don’t<br />

eat them much since I don’t enjoy<br />

burping them for hours afterwards,<br />

but wife Corinne likes them<br />

which is a good excuse for growing<br />

them. Actually, I’d plant a few<br />

more things like beans, peas,<br />

beets, and squash if our life was a<br />

little more settled, but that doesn’t<br />

appear to be in the cards this year.<br />

Maybe next year.<br />

Huckleberries, by the way, are<br />

fun to grow. They do bake up into<br />

fairly good pies, but the best thing<br />

is when people see them growing<br />

and pick some to eat. They look delicious<br />

but are perfectly dreadful<br />

when raw. The grimace on the face<br />

of someone eating an uncooked<br />

huckleberry is priceless. So, for<br />

now, it’s about time to plant<br />

radishes, beets, peas, potatoes,<br />

and leaf lettuce since those thrive<br />

in cool weather and don’t do much<br />

if planted too late. I’ll leave those<br />

to you this year since you probably<br />

have already contracted garden<br />

fever and can’t wait to feel the soil<br />

run through your fingers. I personally<br />

will just wait a few more<br />

weeks and get going on some<br />

tomatoes and cucs. As you can see,<br />

I have garden fever under control<br />

for now, but there may be an outbreak<br />

of it at some time in the future.<br />

It’s hard to say. Good luck to<br />

you on having a sensibly sized garden<br />

this time around. If I can do it,<br />

so can you, or at least for this year.<br />

No bets on next year.<br />

Don, lost his sister in a car accident<br />

recently and had to fly to the funeral.<br />

Bill and Norma Headlee were<br />

visited a couple times this weekend<br />

by their daughter, Corale Dorn,<br />

and family of Dell Rapids. The<br />

Dorns were coming and going to<br />

Spearfish where they participated<br />

in the Whirlwind Horse memorial<br />

run. This was in commemoration of<br />

a high-school and college classmate<br />

of some family members that had<br />

been killed in a car accident.<br />

Corale’s sister, Monica, is another<br />

runner in the family but didn’t participate<br />

in the run this year since<br />

she is expecting a baby in June.<br />

This was a long run but shorter<br />

versions were also available.<br />

Norma figured between Corale, her<br />

husband, and kids, a goodly number<br />

of miles were covered. Headlees<br />

were also visited by Norma’s sister,<br />

Marge Kraushaar, of Illionois this<br />

week. Marge had been staying with<br />

her brother, Tom DeVries, for a few<br />

days, and they both came over for<br />

supper one day when Corale and<br />

family were there. The Headlee<br />

household was busy last weekend<br />

over Easter with daughters, Monica,<br />

Donella, and Anora, on hand<br />

with various family members. Several<br />

kids were involved which required<br />

the hiding and finding of<br />

lots of Easter eggs.<br />

Greg Badure said they have<br />

been staying fairly close to home<br />

this week, in part because the kids<br />

had colds and such. There wasn’t<br />

even Sunday school on Sunday<br />

since teacher, Merry Willard, called<br />

and said she wasn’t in to fighting<br />

muddy roads to come in that day.<br />

Greg said they will go back to the<br />

12-hour days required for rest-area<br />

maintenance starting in mid-May.<br />

Out at the ranch, Al and Bax are<br />

into calving and are being assisted<br />

this year again by Paul Scherff.<br />

Paul works most of the year on a<br />

dude ranch, the H F Bar, near Buffalo<br />

and Sheridan, Wyoming. It is<br />

in the foothills of the Bighorn<br />

Mountains. This is the same ranch<br />

that Greg worked on for about 15<br />

years, and it is considered the second<br />

oldest dude ranch in the country.<br />

It was started back about 1910<br />

when its owners were looking for<br />

additional income to pay for the<br />

ranch. Various guys from the area<br />

have worked there on and off,<br />

mostly through Greg’s encouragement<br />

since he was the first from<br />

this area to work there. Tojo Osborn’s<br />

nephew, Troy Ehrmantraut,<br />

was one of those who spent several<br />

seasons at the H F Bar and one<br />

who often comes here in the spring<br />

to help with brandings and other<br />

work. He does a lot of horse shoeing<br />

during the year as well.<br />

Mike Perault said calving has<br />

been going quite well, thanks in<br />

part to the nice weather this year.<br />

He was glad to report an inch and<br />

twenty hundredths of rain this<br />

weekend which he said was very<br />

welcomed.<br />

Mark DeVries said his sons,<br />

Gavin and Geoffrey, are in track at<br />

present. The family often attends<br />

the Kadoka meets to cheer them<br />

on. Mark’s folks, Jim and Lynn,<br />

came from Kansas a few weeks ago<br />

during their spring break since<br />

they are both teachers. Jim is expected<br />

back probably in May for a<br />

while as usual as are various other<br />

family members. Lynn DeVries has<br />

taught school in Korea on and off<br />

for quite a few years but is not<br />

planning any trips there in the<br />

near future due to unrest between<br />

the Koreas and between them and<br />

neighboring countries.<br />

State Treasurer’s office continues search for owners of unclaimed property<br />

--by Elizabeth “Sam” Grosz<br />

Community News Service<br />

Whether it is a forgotten safety<br />

deposit box or a lost dividend<br />

check, or even misplaced shares of<br />

stock, the state of South Dakota is<br />

the keeper of unclaimed property.<br />

However, State Treasurer Rich<br />

Sattgast and his staff don’t necessarily<br />

want to keep the property<br />

forever. In fact, they actively work<br />

to get such items back to their<br />

rightful owners.<br />

Now, with several innovative<br />

ideas in place, Sattgast and Unclaimed<br />

Property Administrator<br />

Lee DeJabet already are seeing<br />

large increases in inquiries about<br />

such property, and getting it back<br />

in the hands of the rightful owners.<br />

But, just what is unclaimed property?<br />

“We get property in from the financial<br />

institutions, life insurance,<br />

banks, credit card companies, and<br />

safe deposit boxes or stock,” said<br />

DeJabet, and it is put into the department’s<br />

data base with the last<br />

known person, address, or “whatever<br />

the holder (financial institution)<br />

gives us.”<br />

Financial institutions from all<br />

over the nation are required to do<br />

that each year with unclaimed<br />

property, she said. Once the state<br />

has it, the state is required to advertise<br />

what it is holding.<br />

The advertising season recently<br />

ended for the department, and inquiries<br />

have been pouring in. The<br />

ads listed names, addresses and a<br />

file number for each unclaimed<br />

property and are regionalized for<br />

the area served by the newspaper.<br />

“Now we will ask you a few questions,”<br />

said DeJabet about the<br />

process, “if we are talking to you on<br />

the phone.” That will be such<br />

things as name, address and social<br />

security number. If that matches,<br />

she said, a claim form will be<br />

mailed out.<br />

The claim form will have on it<br />

how much the property is, where it<br />

came from, how much it is, and the<br />

guidelines, or documentation the<br />

department needs.<br />

“Two things we always require,”<br />

said DeJabet, “are a governmentissued<br />

photo ID and your social security<br />

number.” There will also<br />

have to be proof if a name has<br />

changed, she added.<br />

Then, depending on what kind of<br />

property it is, business, inheritance<br />

and such, all have their own type of<br />

documentation needed, she said.<br />

Once the applicant returns the<br />

claim form, she said, and “everything<br />

is good, we process it and it<br />

goes for payment.” This generally<br />

takes 10 days, DeJabet said, but<br />

can take up to three weeks, because<br />

after the Treasurer’s office<br />

processes the claim, it goes to the<br />

State Auditor for issuance of the<br />

check.<br />

It may only take one to two days<br />

at the Treasurer’s office, she said,<br />

but once it gets to the Auditor’s office,<br />

it has to be checked and placed<br />

on their payment schedule. If either<br />

office is experiencing high volume,<br />

it can take the three-week<br />

span.<br />

If there are any problems in locating<br />

information, however, it can<br />

take longer. That is especially true<br />

when it involves someone who has<br />

died, DeJabet noted, and heirs are<br />

trying to locate the required information.<br />

However, using the department’s<br />

Internet site, www.sdtreasurer.gov,<br />

can greatly speed up the<br />

process, with the key being to have<br />

the right information to submit.<br />

If after searching the list at the<br />

site, and finding property, there is<br />

a claim form to complete. Print the<br />

form and sign it, photocopy the requested<br />

documentation, and mail it<br />

to the State Treasurer’s Office. A<br />

search can also be requested by<br />

phone, calling the division at 1-<br />

866-357-2547, or emailing at unclaimed@sdtreasurer.gov.<br />

Written requests for searches<br />

may be sent to State Treasurer<br />

Rich Sattgast, Unclaimed Property<br />

Division, 500 E. Capitol Ave.,<br />

Pierre SD 57501. Items to include<br />

are your legal name, prior name if<br />

it has changed, current mailing address<br />

and phone number. If a<br />

search of someone else’s name is requested,<br />

the relationship with that<br />

person must be included.<br />

“It’s good to do the Internet<br />

search,” reminded Sattgast, since<br />

the ad listing in the newspapers is<br />

only the current year.<br />

There also is a dollar limit for<br />

those listed in the ads, said DeJabet.<br />

The website, she said, lists<br />

everything $10 and up. Typically,<br />

she said, if a claim is made, the<br />

staff will check also to see if there<br />

is anything under $10.<br />

“So, then you’ll find that $1.83<br />

dividend,” DeJabet added, “and<br />

we’ll attach it.”<br />

Currently, Sattgast said, nothing<br />

under the $50 limit is listed in<br />

the advertisement. Come July 1,<br />

when new legislation goes into effect,<br />

that limit will increase to<br />

$125.<br />

But the website still will have<br />

everything $10 and up, DeJabet<br />

said, and “we have the ability to<br />

change that limit.” However, the<br />

problem with seeing that mythical<br />

$1.18, she said, is that people will<br />

see that and won’t act on it.<br />

If a claim form is not returned in<br />

120 days, DeJabet said, and no response<br />

received to the reminder<br />

sent out halfway through, “we will<br />

drop your claim, because as you<br />

can imagine, we get thousands of<br />

claims and they will remain open<br />

and in our system if we don’t have<br />

a deadline.”<br />

It always can be refiled, said<br />

Sattgast, adding, “these properties<br />

are in perpetuity—there is no<br />

deadline that they no longer belong<br />

to the person.”<br />

“Our database is kept forever,”<br />

said DeJabet, adding, “we never<br />

erase your name… if it has not<br />

been paid out, you will always be in<br />

there.”<br />

It is, she said, what is called “a<br />

perpetual liability to the state of<br />

South Dakota—we are obligated to<br />

pay that at any point in time, and<br />

your heirs can come back and claim<br />

it.” And, she added, many do.<br />

With about 9,000 new properties<br />

a year to handle, the two explained,<br />

and only three staff members, it is<br />

not feasible to do cold calling,<br />

searching for people, even though<br />

some may appear obvious to the casual<br />

observer. DeJabet said they do<br />

go through and pull out the public<br />

entities that may be listed.<br />

And, Sattgast noted, “we have<br />

been advised by the Attorney General<br />

not to do a cold call,” since it<br />

could be a mistaken identity.<br />

If something is sent out to somebody<br />

in error, agreed DeJabet, “it<br />

becomes very difficult for them to<br />

understand” when it is found it<br />

does not belong to them after all.<br />

Sattgast said he encourages people<br />

to check, since the state is currently<br />

holding $23 million worth of<br />

property… just waiting for rightful<br />

owners to claim.<br />

Sattgast and staff members are<br />

not just sitting back waiting for you<br />

to call, however… they are doing<br />

what they can to be visible and<br />

available at large statewide or regional<br />

gatherings of people, such as<br />

at the Sioux Empire Home Show,<br />

the Black Hills Home Show, the<br />

State Fair, the Sioux Empire Fair,<br />

Brown County Fair and<br />

DakotaFest in Mitchell.<br />

And the newspaper advertising<br />

that is done each year reaps benefits<br />

seen in increased numbers of<br />

applicants.<br />

By emphasizing the web page in<br />

that advertising this year, DeJabet<br />

said, there were 2,000 more claims<br />

submitted as a result during the<br />

three-week cycle of advertising.<br />

People who call in and are on call<br />

waiting also are encouraged to use<br />

the web page. People with so-called<br />

“smart phones” can scan the ap<br />

logo in printed information to also<br />

take them to the information.<br />

During the non-advertising time<br />

frame, she said, “we average 50 per<br />

day… but that is actually picking<br />

up as people become more aware.”<br />

Sattgast said the division has two<br />

main responsibilities: one is finding<br />

the properties out there, and the<br />

other is reuniting them with the<br />

people to whom it rightfully belongs.<br />

“You can write to us,” DeJabet said,<br />

adding, “you can call us, you can<br />

check on-line, you can check on<br />

your phone, you can visit us at the<br />

Fair or the Home Show, you can<br />

walk in—lots of ways to get to us.”<br />

“And we love to give money away—<br />

we are one of the few government<br />

agencies that likes to give money<br />

away.”<br />

State Fair looks for South Dakota talent<br />

A long-time tradition at the<br />

South Dakota State Fair is the<br />

Sherwin Linton Show on the Centennial<br />

Stage, and the popular musician<br />

is looking for South Dakota<br />

talent to join him this summer at<br />

the Fair.<br />

A large part of Linton’s time is<br />

spent finding and presenting South<br />

Dakota talent at the State Fair.<br />

The Fair and Linton are asking<br />

for musicians, singers and variety<br />

performers to submit materials to<br />

the Fair for consideration to perform<br />

as guests with “The Sherwin<br />

Linton Show,” which performs<br />

three times daily on the Centennial<br />

Stage during the State Fair.<br />

“We like to invite entertainers of<br />

all ages, both professional and nonprofessional,<br />

to be on stage with us.<br />

They may use pre-recorded tracks<br />

for backup or play their own instruments,”<br />

Linton said. “The experience<br />

and exposure are very positive<br />

things not only for our audience<br />

but also the performers.”<br />

Linton invited two of last year’s<br />

guests, 18-year-old Lane Moore of<br />

Vivian and eight-year-old Delaney<br />

Johnston of Summit, to sing on his<br />

show at the Midwest Country<br />

Music Theater in Sandstone, Minn.<br />

The Midwest Country show is aired<br />

nationally each week on the RFD<br />

TV Network.<br />

For consideration for the 2012<br />

South Dakota State Fair, please<br />

submit a photo, brief bio and CD or<br />

DVD to: Sherwin Linton, Centennial<br />

Stage, South Dakota State<br />

Fair, 890 3rd Street SW, Huron, SD<br />

57350.<br />

The 2012 South Dakota State<br />

Fair will run from Thursday, Aug.<br />

30 through Monday, Sept. 3. Channel<br />

Seeds Preview night will be<br />

Wednesday, Aug. 29. For more information<br />

FARM PROGRAM SIGNUP<br />

The Jackson County-Farm<br />

Service Agency (FSA) reminds producers<br />

that the deadline to enroll<br />

in the 2012 Direct and Counter-<br />

Cyclical Payment (DCP) or Farm<br />

Program is June 1.<br />

DCP provides payments to eligible<br />

producers on farms enrolled for<br />

the 2012 crop year. There are two<br />

types of DCP payments: direct<br />

payments and counter-cyclical<br />

payments. Both are calculated<br />

using the base acres and payment<br />

yields established for the farm.<br />

DCP is authorized by the Food,<br />

Conservation, and Energy Act of<br />

2008 (2008 Farm Bill). Participating<br />

producers agree, among other<br />

things, to apply conservation compliance<br />

plans on Highly Erodible<br />

land, control weeds/pests and follow<br />

the swampbuster/sodbuster<br />

provisions.<br />

On Wednesday the 11th of April,<br />

five students from Kadoka Area<br />

High School attended the Mitchell<br />

Technical Institute’s exploration<br />

day.<br />

Bri Stone and Sierra Sitting Up<br />

explored the culinary school and<br />

were able to check out housing options<br />

as well.<br />

Ty Merchen, Ryder Sanftner and<br />

Chris Anderson took in the power<br />

sports major, farm and industrial<br />

tech, carpentry and diesel engines.<br />

The students represented<br />

Kadoka well, and seemed impressed<br />

with the new building and<br />

advancement that is taking place<br />

at MTI.<br />

Below are some of the student<br />

responses from the day.<br />

What I can say about the trip is<br />

it was very fun -- there was some<br />

stuff I like and didn’t really like. I<br />

didn’t like the ag technical because<br />

there was too much talking and<br />

they were saying stuff I all ready<br />

know. But my last class was very<br />

good -- we got to see a lot of equipment<br />

they worked on. I really liked<br />

Mitchell but I would like to see<br />

what other schools have too.<br />

--Ty Merchen<br />

The MTI visit helped me learn<br />

more about what kind of thing I am<br />

able to do, my career was carpentry,<br />

it’s what I was looking at doing.<br />

But I found out a lot about power<br />

PRE-SCHOOL/KINDERGARTEN<br />

SCREENING<br />

The Kadoka Area School District will be conducting their annual<br />

pre-school and kindergarten screening on Wednesday,<br />

May 16th. All pre-school children ages birth through five and<br />

any six-year-olds that are new to the district and have not previously<br />

been screened are eligible for testing. This includes all<br />

children in the Kadoka Area School District -- Kadoka, Long Valley,<br />

Interior and Midland. Sara Speer, Birth to Three Coordinator,<br />

will be available for testing and questions.<br />

This screening is free and will help determine the specific<br />

needs of individual children. It will help answer questions about<br />

developmental progress or school readiness skills. The preschool<br />

screening will include a check of speech, language, vision,<br />

hearing and motor skill development. Someone from<br />

Jackson County Health will be there to conduct the hearing and<br />

vision screening and to check shot records.<br />

Parents are asked to call Danielle at 837-2173 and register<br />

their children. Only those kindergarten children not already attending<br />

pre-school need to call and register. This will help in<br />

child count for pre-school and kindergarten enrollment.<br />

Parents will be called to schedule appointments for this<br />

screening. Parents with questions concerning the screening<br />

and/or scheduling are requested to call the elementary office or<br />

Pam Bonenberger, pre-school/speech, or Becky Keegan,<br />

kindergarten, at 837-2173.<br />

There will also be Head Start sign up.<br />

explore MTI<br />

in Mitchell<br />

A look at college life … Sierra Sitting Up and Bri Stone (pictured<br />

above), and also pictured bottom with Syder Sanftner, Chris Anderson<br />

and Ty Merchen spent a day exploring the Mitchell Technical<br />

Institute. --courtesy photo<br />

sports and farm power. I talked a<br />

lot about types of financial aid and<br />

where I could live; I found more<br />

about road construction and power<br />

line careers. At this point I don't<br />

know what I am doing, but I have<br />

a lot of information about the careers,<br />

financial aid and types of<br />

scholarships I might try and find. I<br />

have a lot to think about until I<br />

graduate, but at least I know what<br />

kind of classes I could take to help<br />

me in tech school. I’ll have to get<br />

my grades up and come in on time<br />

to school. I’ll have to try a lot more<br />

to get my grades up and keep them<br />

up, if I want to go to MTI, but I<br />

think I am going to have to grow up<br />

a little before I start thinking about<br />

a school and actually pass high<br />

school!<br />

--Chris Anderson<br />

I felt like the trip to Mitchell<br />

was a great learning experience to<br />

see the type of environment that I<br />

will be working in and the way that<br />

you behave in a shop such as the<br />

way our tour guides showed us<br />

they act. I felt like this gave me a<br />

better outlook at going to school<br />

there and I believe I will. Thank<br />

you for your patience and cooperation<br />

on helping us out and taking<br />

time out of your day to show us<br />

what we can look forward to in college.<br />

2012 Wheat GDD Ahead of<br />

Normal; Frost Damage?<br />

As the warm winter of 2011-12<br />

transitioned to a warm spring, a<br />

common topic of conversation has<br />

been the winter wheat getting too<br />

big too fast. The threat of a late<br />

spring frost, when wheat is in an<br />

advanced growth stage and impacts<br />

to yields are greater is still<br />

possible.<br />

To determine how far ahead of<br />

normal the 2012 winter wheat<br />

crop is; visit the South Dakota<br />

“Automatic Weather Data Network<br />

(AWDN) archived degree<br />

days” website: http://climate.sdstate.edu/awdn/archive/degreedays.asp.<br />

Choose the time period<br />

you are interested in and the automatic<br />

weather station you would<br />

like to calculate Growing Degree<br />

Days (GDD) for. For wheat GDD,<br />

enter 32 in the GDD box and 95/32<br />

in the methods boxes.<br />

Wheat GDD advanced early and<br />

quickly in 2012 compared to normal<br />

in most or all locations in<br />

South Dakota. At the Hamill, SD<br />

AWDN, from February 1 to April<br />

10, accumulated wheat GDD were<br />

934, compared to the normal level<br />

of 510. With a normal accumulation<br />

of wheat GDD of 15 per day<br />

for this time of year, one can calculate<br />

that winter wheat development<br />

is approximately 4 weeks<br />

ahead of normal.<br />

The growth stages of wheat are<br />

not strictly tied to, but highly dependent<br />

on GDD. The early and<br />

rapid progress of wheat GDD in<br />

2012 has led to winter wheat<br />

growth stages advancing much<br />

earlier in the year than normal.<br />

The progress of wheat growth<br />

stages is also affected by the photoperiod<br />

(length of day) and vernalization<br />

(cold temperature)<br />

requirements of various varieties.<br />

Data for accumulated GDD for the<br />

various growth stages of wheat can<br />

be found in the Montana State<br />

University publication, “Using<br />

Growing Degree Days to Predict<br />

Plant Stages.”: http://msuextension.org/publications/AgandNaturalResources/MT200103AG.pdf.<br />

Reports of early-planted winter<br />

wheat beginning to joint in southcentral<br />

South Dakota began coming<br />

in as early as April 6. With 50%<br />

probability of the last spring frost<br />

(28 degrees F) ranging from mid-<br />

April to Mid-May across most of<br />

the wheat growing area in South<br />

Dakota, plenty of opportunity remains<br />

for damaging frosts to occur.<br />

The last spring frost can also occur<br />

later than the “50% probability”<br />

SDSU Extension<br />

forestry specialist<br />

discusses freeze,<br />

tree health<br />

After the April 9 freeze, many<br />

South Dakotan's are asking, "What<br />

will last night's freeze do to my<br />

trees?"<br />

Not as much as you think, is<br />

John Ball's answer.<br />

The SDSU professor, SDSU Extension<br />

Forestry Specialist and the<br />

South Dakota Department of Agriculture,<br />

Forestry Health Specialist,<br />

says some of the tree's foliage will<br />

recover, some foliage will show<br />

blackened margins but otherwise<br />

recover, and some trees will lose<br />

most of their leaves from the frost -<br />

however, the good news is much of<br />

this foliage will be replaced.<br />

"The tender foliage on trees that<br />

are leafing out is sensitive to freeze<br />

injury and I already saw some wilting<br />

leaves this morning, however,<br />

fortunately many tree species to<br />

have a "reserve chute" and will put<br />

out a second set of leaves in the<br />

next few weeks to replace the lost<br />

ones," Ball said.<br />

He adds, "We saw this about<br />

three years ago in the north-central<br />

part of the state and the trees recovered<br />

just fine. The biggest problem<br />

will be the flowering trees."<br />

Ball explains that once the flowers<br />

are killed, that's it.<br />

"You will not get replacement<br />

flowers this spring, so the loss of<br />

the flowers means no fruit this fall<br />

on the pears and plums that are in<br />

bloom right now," he said. "At least<br />

in the northern half of the state the<br />

apples have not bloomed yet so<br />

they should be fine. But in the<br />

southern half of South Dakota,<br />

where the apples were blooming,<br />

we may see less fruit set on apples<br />

as well as the other fruit tree<br />

crops."<br />

more common following dry winters.<br />

The Kansas State University<br />

publication: “Spring Freeze Injury<br />

to Kansas Wheat”:<br />

http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/library/cr<br />

psl2/c646.pdf is an excellent resource<br />

to assess freeze injury to<br />

wheat. The growth stages, approximate<br />

temperature (duration of 2<br />

hours) at which injury occurs, and<br />

yield effects are: tillering – 12 degrees<br />

F, slight to moderate; jointing<br />

– 24 degrees F, moderate to<br />

severe; boot – 28 degrees F, moderate<br />

to severe; heading – 30 degrees<br />

F, severe; flowering – 30 degrees F,<br />

severe; milk – 28 degrees F, moderate<br />

to severe; and dough – 28 degrees<br />

F, slight to moderate.<br />

Controlling meal costs tips<br />

There are many ways to stretch<br />

your food dollar. Everyone wants to<br />

get their money’s worth in food<br />

these days. Healthful eating<br />

doesn’t have to cost more. It might<br />

even cost less. Healthy foods give<br />

you more value for your dollar.<br />

Controlling food costs wisely involves<br />

careful grocery shopping.<br />

You will spend more if you are hungry,<br />

so try to eat something before<br />

you go shopping. Consider shopping<br />

alone; it may allow you more<br />

time to read labels and compare<br />

prices if you aren’t distracted by<br />

family members. Read labels so<br />

you’ll know what you are paying<br />

for. Compare cost of similar food<br />

items by using unit pricing. To find<br />

the best buy, you need to compare<br />

the costs of the amounts you need<br />

for a meal or for a serving.<br />

Planning ahead will assist you<br />

in spending less on food. Write a<br />

weekly meal plan. It should include<br />

all daily meals plus snacks and<br />

even those eaten away from home.<br />

Try to include at least one “planned<br />

over” meal per week to use leftover<br />

food from another meal. Check<br />

your fridge and cupboards to see<br />

what you already have on hand,<br />

then make a shopping list and stick<br />

to it.<br />

When shopping, choose basic,<br />

nutritious foods rather than readyto-eat,<br />

highly processed and refined<br />

foods. Foods that are more conven-<br />

ient usually cost more. As an example,<br />

consider choosing unsweetened<br />

fruit juice, water or low fat milk instead<br />

of soft drinks. Another option<br />

would be to select homemade,<br />

lightly salted popcorn, dry roasted<br />

nuts or natural nuts, instead of<br />

snack chips. Try to shop just once a<br />

week. It’s easier to make wise<br />

choices if you shop less often. Use<br />

coupons for foods you really want.<br />

A food isn’t a good deal if no one<br />

eats it.<br />

Sometimes processed foods are<br />

less expensive, but they are usually<br />

higher in fat, sugar, salt and artificial<br />

ingredients and lower in vitamins,<br />

minerals and fiber. These<br />

types of foods are fine to eat once in<br />

a while, but you should plan to select<br />

more nutritious foods to eat<br />

daily.<br />

Food is a manageable expense,<br />

so it can be a focus for reduced<br />

spending when money is tight. By<br />

planning ahead and managing<br />

your money wisely, you can still<br />

serve meals that are delicious and<br />

nutritious. Go to http://www.mealsmatter.org/MealPlanning/<br />

planning tools created to make<br />

healthy meal planning easier for<br />

your family.<br />
