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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

fire danger index published by the<br />
National Weather Service, has<br />
reached the very high or extreme<br />
category in Pennington County.<br />

harassment section of the policy<br />
book and proposed a policy<br />
change that addresses the issues if<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 />

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 />

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 />

Read Lamentations 3:24-26<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
