Two of these sites, Delta-01 Launch Control Facility and the Delta-09 Launch Facility, have been preserved as a Minuteman Missile National Historic Site to provide visitors with a unique Cold War history lesson. This is one of South Dakotas great places. The year was 1961, and the United States Air Force began buy- ing secret weapons and putting them beneath the prairie grasses of South Dakota. These missiles were never launched. They did, however, act as a powerful deterrent during the Cold War. Many citizens and visitors alike never knew just how close they were to the below-ground, nuclear- tipped missiles. The deadly mis- siles were buried beneath not only South Dakotas rural landscape, but across several Midwestern states for more than 30 years. While their locations were top-se- cret, their destructive power was well-known. It wasnt until 1991 that Presi- dent George H. W. Bush and the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed the Strategic Arms Reduc- tion Treaty. This treaty called for the reduction of the number of nu- clear weapons across the world. Soon thereafter, the South Dakota missile launch stations were deac- tivated. The South Dakota launch control facilities were favored for preserva- tion because they were among the nations oldest; the technology dated back to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Only small modifications have been made to the deactivated sites; much of the original mechan- ical equipment and historic fur- nishings remain. The Minuteman Missile Na- tional Historic Site is the only Na- tional Park Service site devoted to Cold War History. Visitors are led from the Visitor Contact Station by a ranger for tours of a facility which operated 10 Minuteman II missiles. The contact station also houses exhibits, artifacts, and an orientation video. Tours include an above-ground and below-ground look at the site and are offered year-round. Tickets are free and issued on a first come, first served basis. Tours last ap- proximately 30 minutes. Delta-09 missile silo site, located off I-90 at exit 116, can be explored on your own daily with a guided cell phone tour also available May-October.

Homecom- ing will be held during the week of September 17-21. This years theme is ROCK AND ROLL. Classes have been in- formed that their theme can be as creative as they want it to be, based on a rock song title, a rock bands name or whatever spin youd like to put on it. The parade is open for everyone to enter. In addition to all of the sporting activities going on that week, coro- nation will be Tuesday, September 18 at 7:00 at the city auditorium. Fridays activities will include the homecoming parade, punt pass and kick, the KCBA pancake sup- per and will be capped off by the game on Friday night between the Kadoka Area Kougars and the Jones County Coyotes. There is also a dance being ten- tatively planned for Saturday night. Watch for more information in the coming weeks regarding home- coming week activities. KAHS homecoming activities announced A California woman died in a one-vehicle crash on Interstate 90 about two miles east of Kadoka on Wednesday, Aug. 29. Ashley Greywoode, 34, of Pasadena, was a passenger in a 2004 Ford Escape. Her husband, Jewel Greywoode, 31, of Pasadena was driving west. Two young chil- dren were secured in car seats in the rear seat. As the Ford attempted to pass a truck, a rear tire blew. The vehicle entered the median and rolled. All occupants were wearing seatbelts or were restrained in car seats, but Ashley Greywoode suffered fatal injuries as did her unborn child. Jewel Greywoode received serious non-life threatening injuries. The two young children, ages 3 and 2, received minor injuries. The South Dakota Highway Pa- trol is investigating. Jackson County Sheriff s Office assisted. California woman dies in crash near Kadoka Forrest (Shorty) Ire- land was born February 10, 1923, to Howard and Mary Ireland in Vian, NE, a small vil- lage with one house and a post office 35 miles south of Wood Lake, NE. He was the fifth from last of 12 siblings (seven boys and five girls). In 1926 the family moved eight miles east of Martin and Shorty attended a country school. He attended three schools in high school, Martin, Chester and Merriman, NE, where he graduated. Shorty recalled that his freshman year when the family moved to Martin, they took three cows and sold milk for 10 cents per quart; they would only have gotten 8 cents at the store. We could walk a long ways for that extra two cents, he said. This furnished the family of four with groceries for the year. On May 16, 1942, he married Betty Mansfield. He said the best wages he ever received was when he worked at an air base for a while, but Shorty soon returned to ranching. The Irelands had six children: Jerry, Howie, Kenny, Connie, Hal and Ronnie. There was only 7 1 2 years between the oldest and youngest, Shorty added. Now the family count is 20 grandchildren, 42 great-grand- children and nine great-great-grandchildren. He said theres over 100 de- scendents, including the in-laws. Shorty served on the local soil conservation board for 25 years. He was over 25 years on the Jackson County Extension board, eight on the state and three at the national level. And, he served 20 years on each, the SD Stockgrowers and Western Junior Livestock boards. Shorty proudly said he has been a Mason for almost 60 years and a member of the Presbyte- rian Church. Shorty said his dad sold horses to the US Calvary and they needed to be four years old and well broke. The horse project continued another generation; in the fall of 1944 Shorty went to a guest ranch at Nemo where he worked for one year and trained 50 head of colts for inexperi- enced riders. He bought a book on training, but was already using most the techniques. Afterwards he tested and got an honorary PhD in horse training. The first thing with training, he said was one-on-one with no distractions of other animals and the soft use of a jerk rope. Before you know it, he said, the horse will let you rub his head behind the ear and a friendship starts. Achievement Days was the highlight of his life. He recalled that at one time there were over 400 kids in Haakon/Jackson/Washabaugh when he was on the extension board. The family raised Angus bulls for almost 50 years. Each year only the top third were sold and the biggest year was 103 bulls. Shorty and Betty retired from the ranch in 1979 and moved to Kadoka. On May 31, 2004 Betty passed away. Shorty went into the nursing home on New Years Eve, 2010. If I have known Id live so long, Id have taken better care of myself, Shorty laughed. He is happy at the nursing home and considers everyone there his friend. The workers amaze me, he added. In addition, he says he loves the food and thats why he cant keep his weight down. Congratulations, Shorty on being chosen as the September Resident of the Month.

The commission approved a ne- gotiated services agreement be- tween USPS and Valassis Direct Mail on August 23 with a 4-1 vote. Within 24 hours, Newspaper Asso- ciation of America filed an appeal with the United States Court of Ap- peals for the District of Columbia Circuit and filed an emergency mo- tion for a stay of the decision. The court has issued a briefing sched- ule on the motion for early Septem- ber. On August 28, the National Newspaper Association filed docu- ments in court in support of the NAA appeal. In part, the NNA court document read, While the postal service has the backing of the full faith and credit of the United States should the NSA ven- ture fail, its customers and com- petitors in the newspaper world do not enjoy the same privilege if the NSA succeeds and their own posi- tion in the market fails. No busi- ness can compete against its own government. Thus, if the NSA in fact does create undue harm in the marketplace, the harm is likely to be irreparable. Both national trade organiza- tions representing newspapers have stressed that granting this special postal rate to a major com- petitor in the mailing business will cause significant harm to newspa- pers throughout the country and will not improve the financial con- dition of the nations postal system. In a press statement related to its decision, the PRC said, The commission understands that both newspapers and the postal service are experiencing declining rev- enues as new technologies based on the Internet gain popularity. Todays decision affirms that fair competition between these two im- portant institutions is consistent with the law. The PRCs opinion said, News- papers have a de facto monopoly on the weekend advertising of na- tional retailers of durable and semi-durable goods. Naturally, they would like to retain that busi- ness. The postal service has long been in the market for distribution of such advertising, but it has not competed effectively. The newspa- pers have provided no explanation demonstrating why they would be precluded from competing effec- tively by adjusting their advertis- ing rates and/or negotiating different rates for delivery. NNA has released a question and answer format on the Valassis deal. What can you do? Tell the mem- bers of our congressional delega- tion that this sweeheart deal is a bad deal. Tell them that this case represents the first time USPS has directly targeted newspapers as competitors. It is not right and it is not fair. Setting a federal enter- prise into direct competition with newspapers offends our most basic principles. Here is contact information for the congressional delegation staff who deal with postal issues: Sen. John Thune: Ryan Jensen ryan_jensen@thune.senate.gov Sen.

Postal service favoring one private business over others The latest edition of the United States Drought Monitor was re- leased last week and reflected worsening drought in the west cen- tral part of South Dakota, said Laura Edwards, South Dakota State University Extension climate field specialist. Extreme drought has now taken over Haakon and Jackson counties, and portions of the surrounding counties as well. This level of drought covers more than a quar- ter of the state, up from 17 percent in the previous week. Edwards said the latest map, released August 30, showed no change in the other drought severity categories. Edwards said water levels in rivers and streams, the recent hot and dry weather, in addition to field condition reports have all con- tributed to the one category change on the U.S. Drought Monitor. Streamflow levels for the last week have been much lower than normal for this time of year, and temperatures were in the 90s with little rain, Edwards said. Over the last 30 days, the new extreme drought region has re- ceived less than half of normal rainfall. The last week had been two to six degrees above average, which cut short any relief from the cooler temperatures that were spread across the state a couple of weeks ago. Elsewhere in the state, hot and dry weather took over in recent days. The outlook for the next five days appeared to continue with below average rainfall, with some scattered small amounts in the eastern half of the state. Edwards said that Tropical Storm Isaac is weakening and making its way inland, but will be turning east, and likely will not bring any beneficial rainfall to our area. Temperatures will cool off from the 100 plus degrees that the state experienced recently, but will return to the 90s for many eastern South Dakota locations. She said the Black Hills will be just slightly cooler, in the mid-80s and low 90s, over the next several days. Drought worsens in west central South Dakota ing measures. Because GFPs Wildlife Damage Program is funded entirely with hunting license fees, producers are asked to sign an agreement that states they dont charge for hunting access and theyll agree to allow a reasonable amount of free public access for hunting. Permanent stackyards work well for producers who have spe- cific locations where they store hay or other feed every year, said Fisk. Our portable panel program has also become popular with produc- ers over the last few years. The great thing about the panels is they allow producers some flexibility in where they place feed supplies from year-to-year. Ensuring an adequate harvest of big game animals on an annual basis remains the best tool avail- able to help producers reduce wildlife damage on their property. However, should producers experi- ence wildlife damage from concen- trations of deer, elk or turkeys, GFP encourages them to contact a GFP representative as soon as pos- sible. Since 2005, GFP has worked with more than 800 individual pro- ducers to provide financial assis- tance to help them build permanent stackyards or purchase protective panels. On an annual basis, GFP expends more than $2.5 million to assist producers with a wide variety of programs designed to help reduce damages caused by wildlife. For more information or assis- tance, producers may contact their local Wildlife Damage Specialist or GFP Division of Wildlife office. Even though South Dakota is still in the last stages of a hot and dry summer, Game, Fish and Parks Department officials are encourag- ing farmers and ranchers to begin thinking about the importance of protecting alfalfa, hay and other stored feed supplies from wintering wildlife. With the effects of this years drought, we know that hay and other feed supplies will be even more valuable this coming winter, GFP Wildlife Damage Program Ad- ministrator Keith Fisk said. If South Dakota experiences a nor- mal winter where we have even av- erage accumulations of snow it will be important for producers to con- sider taking some proactive steps that will reduce the potential for wildlife damage. Fisk added that many producers have reported theyve been able to reduce or prevent wildlife damage just by giving some careful thought to where they locate their winter livestock feed. If producers have chronic prob- lems with wildlife damage despite their best efforts, we want to make sure theyre aware that GFP has several cost-share programs avail- able to help protect their feed sup- plies, Fisk said. Over the past 15 years, GFP has developed several wildlife damage abatement programs which provide cost-share assistance to producers. One program helps supply pro- tective panels that can be tem- porarily loaned to producers to help protect feed supplies. Another pro- gram actually helps producers fund the purchase and construction of stackyards or other protective fenc- Protect hay and stored feed supplies press@kadokatelco.com See the answers on the classified page Suduko Kadoka Press USPS 289340 Telephone 605-837-2259 PO Box 309, Kadoka, South Dakota 57543-0309 E-mail: press@kadokatelco.com Fax: 605-837-2312 Ravellette Publications, Inc.

Meals for the Elderly 2 Chronicles 20:5-12 Modern-day Christians can learn some good lessons from Old Testament prayers. When Jehoshaphat be- seeched God for help, he struck a balance between ask- ing the Lord to meet his needs and proclaiming His greatness. Likewise, our requests shouldbe made with recognition of who God is. Otherwise, the focus of our prayers becomes need, weakness, failure, or fear. Jehoshaphat cried out to God about his terrible predicament, but he also exalted the Lord's attributes, acknowledging the great things He had done. When we pray like this, we become stronger, bolder, and more forthright. That's why knowing the Word of God is so important. When we read about how the Lord worked in the lives of others, we understand His awesome power and might. Then we can look to the men and women of the Old Testament as an example and begin to pray in a similar way. God's wonder- working power is still available today, and He wants His children to access it. By proclaiming, "Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You" (v. 6), Je- hoshaphat was praising God and at the same time reminding himself of the Lord's greatness. As you pray, remind God of His mercy, talk to Him about His grace, and recall His mighty power. Do you want to revolutionize your prayer life? If you focus as much attention on declaring the attributes of the Lord as you do on making requests, your prayers will take on a whole new dimension. They'll cease to be self-centered and instead will become God-centered. A Balanced Prayer Inspiration Point in Ethiopias Awash Valley, a 3.2 million year-old skeleton of an ape was discovered that was different than other ape skeletons. The knee bone shape, along with pelvic ar- chitecture, indicated that this ape walked upright. As the Beatles music Lucy in the Sky with Dia- monds was playing in the back- ground, archeologists speculated that this could be the long sought link between apes and humans, and the upright walking individ- ual was famously nicknamed Lucy. Her brain was small and ape-like but she walked upright. This was evidence that the up- right position might have come first. They speculated that stand- ing tall allowed for the evolution- ary advantage of having a better view of approaching enemy or mate and all the rest followed. Could it be that the special design of an upright knee allowed for the first big step toward the evolution of humanity? And what is so spe- cial about this design? The knee is a hinge joint mostly held together with four ligaments. The two collateral ligaments run along the inner and outer sides of the knee keeping our legs from bending inward (knock-kneed) or outward (bowlegged). The more noteworthy structures however are the two tough fibrous ribbon ligaments, which cross each other, front to back, on the inside of the knee forming an "X. This explains why they are called the cruciate or cross-like ligaments. The anterior cruciate ligament or ACL starts at the back of the thighbone or femur above, crosses to connect at the front of the shin- bone or tibia below, and keeps the lower leg from sliding forward. The posterior cruciate ligament or PCL starts at the front of the thighbone, crosses to the back of the shinbone, and keeps the lower leg from sliding backward. What is so ingenious is how these crossing ribbons provide for such stability, and yet at the same time, allow for the bending of the knee. So it is as Gerard Manley Hopkins the Priest poet said: The world is charged with the grandeur of God.

Smith________________ Gladys Smith, age 92 of Quinn, S.D., died Tuesday, August 28, 2012, at the Hans P. Peterson Me- morial Hospital in Philip. Gladys Arthene Knodel was born December 22, 1919, at Wall, to Gustave and Lois (Lathrop) Kn- odel. She lived in the Peno Basin area and attended elementary school at Big White. She stayed with Lynn and Lucille Lathrop and attended one year of high school at Nolan. In 1934, her parents moved her to a small farm outside Richfield, Idaho, where Gladys finished high school and started college in the area. On December 11, 1937, she was united in marriage to Charles Richard Smith at Burley, Idaho. In 1938, they moved back to Grind- stone and lived with Bus Smith until they built their home in 1948 where she lived until she was hos- pitalized in December 2009. She was a member of the Grind- stone Womens Club for over 70 years and assisted in many gather- ings and parties in the community. She attended the Lutheran church throughout her life. Her children have fond memories of coming home from church to large Sunday dinners and a house full of com- pany. Gladys made everyone feel welcome in her home and at her table. She is survived by her husband of 74 years, Richard, of Grindstone; nine children, Colleen (Ken) Sim- mons of Forsyth, Mont., Joyce (Ed) Buchholz of Belle Fourche, Larry (Linda) Smith of Philip, Melvin (Beth) Smith of Philip, Steven (Roxie) Smith of Ordway, Colo., Arlan Smith of Casper, Wyo., Bar- bara (Mike) Coy of Sundance, Wyo., Janet (Kenneth) Lurz of Wall, Kieth (Deb) Smith of Philip; 27 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchil- dren; and one great-great grand- child.

That is why I have and continue to support the federal adoption tax credit that at- tempts to alleviate some of the fi- nancial barriers for families wanting to provide nurturing homes for children in need of a lov- ing family. Earlier this month, I nominated Ryan and Amber Johnson from Sioux Falls for the Angels in Adop- tion award which is presented an- nually by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption. This young couple is an example of what it means to be true heroes. They have overcome personal struggles and have used their life lessons to cre- ate a warm, loving home for chil- dren in need of a nurturing environment to grow and develop. Every child deserves a place to call home and a loving family to support them. Through adoption, children get loving and supportive families and families are blessed with new lives to nurture. I com- mend the many families across our state who have opened their hearts and homes to children in need. I hope that the work and uplifting ef- forts of people like the Johnsons will continue to inspire other South Dakota families to make a differ- ence in the life of a child. Like many South Dakotans, I am extraordinarily blessed to have a wonderful family built on a foun- dation of love, respect, trust, and faith. With the guidance of my mom and dad, I learned the impor- tance of education and the value of hard work. My family supported my successes and helped me learn from my failures. However, it was not until Kimberley and I had our first daughter that I understood the magnitude and responsibility of being a parent. Nothing I have done in life or ever will do can com- pare to the joy and rewards that come with being a dad. Sadly, many children will nev er know what it means to have a fa- ther or a family, someone to cheer on their baseball team or put a Band-Aid on their knee. Family is just a word in the storybooks for thousands of children across the country. According to the U.S. De- partment of Health and Human Services there are more than 114,000 children in foster care waiting to be adopted in the United States. These children have en- tered the foster care system through no fault of their own, often as a result of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Often families shy away from adoption due to the perceived high Adoption creates health, loving families by Senator John Thune Bel videre News September 6, 2012 Kadoka Press Page 3 To Place a Classified Ad or Thank You in the Press Call 837-2259 Norris News Marjorie Anne Letellier 462-6228 Belvidere News Syd Iwan 344-2547 To Report A Fire: Kadoka . . . .837-2228 Belvidere . .344-2500 All others call . . . .911 BELVIDERE BAR 344-2210 ATM Summer Hours Monday - Thursday 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday & Saturday 9 a.m. to Midnight Sunday 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. TIRE & SERVICE WORK - CALL 837-2376 HOURS: Mon - Fri: 7:30 to 5:30 Saturday: 8 to Noon Were here for all your vehicle maintenance!

We are surrounded by things that often remind us of people, places or circumstances. Take the lug of peaches I bought recently. I buy a lug most years, and it always reminds me of my cousin LuWanna. As it happened, one summer when Lu and her family came from North Dakota to visit us as they often did, my folks had just bought a lug of peaches. When they real- ized Lu really liked them, they told her to help herself whenever she wanted. Well, she wanted fairly often. I have recurrent visions of her walking around holding a peach in the pink tissue they came wrapped in. She would nibble on that thing a long time, savoring it, and making it last. She didnt peel it, cut it up, or have it with cream. She just ate it plain. This taught me that it is possible to get a lot of pleasure out of simple things. In a similar vein, carrot sticks often remind me of our neighbor, Carolyn. When she was on the election board with me, she often brought a jar of carrot sticks in water to snack on during the day. She always offered to share them with the other members of the board, and sometimes I took one, but my idea of snacks ran more to chocolate-chip cookies or other sweets. I wonder if that might be why Carolyn is still thin whereas I could stand to lose a few pounds? In the kitchen, I have various utensils that bring certain people to mind. One is a white spatula that reminds me of my nephew, Jason, and his wife. They gave this item to me one Christmas, and, at first, I thought it looked awkward and hard to use. After using it a few times, however, I got to really liking it. It is now my favorite spatula, and I use it all the time. There is also a small flat pan in the kitchen that I got from my Aunt Vange. She no longer wanted it one time when I was helping her move so I took it. Somehow that is the handiest pan for little jobs. I dont think it was originally in- tended for cooking but had some- thing to do with making ice in the freezer. Nevertheless, it gets pressed into cooking duty all the time around here. Using it does sometimes make me recall the re- gret I had about not being able to visit Vange very much in her last few years since she was in a nurs- ing home some distance away and in a town I seldom had reason to visit. Vange and her husband, Don, were a big part of my life for a lot of years, always spent Christmas Day with us etc. Anyway, this little metal pan brings them to mind fairly often. As would be expected, lots of things remind us of members of our immediate family. Cross-stitch pictures on the wall make me think of Mom and her constant fancy work projects. Dad tended to collect things like old tools, and odds and ends of this and that. They are still around to promote memories of him. My sister has given me many gifts that are here and there around the house and often turn my thoughts in her di- rection. Just this week I got a real me- mento of my school years in town and the people I met there. This memento was made by a school- mate out of the old wood flooring that was originally in the Murdo depot dating back to about 1906. That town is where I went to school from fifth grade through high school. Doug, it seems, has taken up working with a lathe and making various things. He decided that, since I did some writing, I might like one of his pens made out of the depots maple wood. It is beautiful. It not only makes me think of Doug and his family, but of the time when trains ran through that area, not to mention all the other recollections about school, fellow students and what not. Just having that pen on my desk makes my mind frequently return to yesteryear. The pen also brings another schoolmate, Bob, to mind. I have little doubt that he walked on those depot floors countless times since he was enamored with trains from the cradle and spent his life driving them up and down the rails. His dad was my barber for many years, and his folks were in and out of our house all the time playing bridge with my folks. Its odd how a bit of wood can direct your thoughts to years gone by and the people who inhabited them. If you dont believe me, take a minute or two to look around your house. I think youll see what Im talking about. Memory Triggers Lookin Around by Syd Iwan Dana Badure and kids attended the funeral for Lana Sanftner in Midland on Friday. As it happened, Lanas daughter, Tejai, was staying overnight at Badures with Brisa on the night Lana passed away in Rapid City. This was somewhat traumatic but everyone got through it okay. Greg said that Lana was always so happy and up- beat that it was hard to lose her. Greg also said that traffic has slowed down a lot on I-90 after the motorcycle rally which means he is not quite as busy with his rest area maintenance east of town. During the summer, he needs to spend twelve hours a day at the two places, but that will drop now to more normal eight-hour days. At the ranch, fall shots have been given there and at various neigh- bors. There has also been early shipping of cattle due to pasture being short in this dry year. Randy Peters has been helping Bax and Al lately as well. Lee Addison and Rhonda are tired of killing rattlesnakes around the place. Five have wandered through lately such as in the gar- den, carport, etc. There is a prairie- dog town close by which attracts them somewhat, but usually only one or two are seen in a year. They make gardening somewhat of a cautious affair, but some tomatoes and cucumbers have been raised and put up for the winter. Rhonda said her knees are slowly improv- ing after the replacement surgery she had on both of them back in January. She still hasnt been rid- ing any horses, but she is eyeing the horses with speculation re- cently, thinking it might be about time since riding is one of her fa- vorite things to do. Going all the way to Maine with Dana Badure and kids a bit ago was a little hard on the knees, but it was a good trip. Recently, Lee and Rhonda have been traveling to Highmore most weekends to help friends work on their house. The house has been raised for basement work, and there is no electricity and therefore no air conditioning. It can be hot work. Bunny Green was visited for several days last week by her nephew, Carl Dean Peadke, of Carter Lake, Iowa. He is the son of Bunnys sister. Carl Dean had been to Washington to visit cousins and was on his way home. He parked his three-bedroom motor home in front of Bunnys house and slept in that while he was here. Bunny said there have been a lot of skunks around this year, and her neighbor has killed four of them for her that were around her place. None have been around the last few days, but Bunny is keeping on eye on things in case more show up. Francie Davis is currently a full- time student at Black Hills Univer- sity. She is doing it all over the Internet, however, so she doesnt have to be gone from home. She hopes to get her degree in General Studies in December. She is now taking courses in the humanities, geography and digital photography. Her boys are enjoying her courses as well and also having her go to school since they have to. The fam- ily beagle tangled with a coyote this week and had to be repaired by the vet. He is doing okay at pres- ent. On Saturday, Chad, Francie and boys and Bob and Ruth For- tune all went to Wall for the 80th birthday celebration for Vera Nel- son and Vern Fortune. Vera and Vern are twins and are Bobs aunt and uncle. Francie said her folks were somewhat related before they got married since Bob was a For- tune and her mom, Joan, was a Nelson. Earlier in the day on Sat- urday, the Davis family was up near Faith fixing fence on the ranch belonging to Chads uncle. The uncle is gone right now and wanted Chad to keep an eye on things. Aaron, Michelle and Tyrel Mansfield spent the weekend in Rapid City at a reunion of Michelles moms side of the family. They went up on Friday and came back on Sunday. A special draw was some relatives that dont live close, such as in Billings. Jim and Fayola left on Thursday for Wyoming to visit their daughter, Alison, and family. They took in grandson Thomas football game on Thursday evening at Upton where it was cool and nice. They returned home on Friday. Howie and Cathy Ireland have managed to raise some beans, tomatoes and cucumbers this year despite the grasshoppers and drought. The beans did quite a bit better than expected, but Howie said they might have been better off saving their time and money on gardening this year. Scot and Jodie OBryan have mostly stayed busy with their reg- ular work of training and shoeing horses and working at 1880 Town. They still havent been to Yankton to get acquainted with their newest grandkid, but time will be taken for that very soon. This week, Scot will go to Kansas to help with a horse sale. Jodie is getting anxious to do some barrel racing again and will get to that shortly. Crystal Paulson is back to teach- ing college courses again. This se- mester she will be teaching in Porcupine and Batesland. The col- lege she works for has eleven satel- lite places they offer courses as required by people who want to take them so Crystal is never quite sure ahead of time where she will be sent each semester. She does tend to get in a lot of driving. Dur- ing this hot weather, Crystal has been staying at home quite a bit when not out teaching somewhere. The only way to help yourself is to help others. Several folks from this area at- tended the services for Walt Hein- ert in Valentine, NE, on Monday. Despite the heat a large crowd of family and friends gathered at the St. John Lutheran Church base- ment on Monday following the bur- ial. A delicious lunch was served to them by the church ladies. Please keep the Heinert family in your heart and prayers at this sad time of loss. HOT has been the best descrip- tion of the week. The starting of school didnt seem to change the thermometer a bit. Mother Nature doesnt seem to know it is supposed to be cooler and bring the refresh- ing autumn rains. The ground is just crying out for moisture and so are we. June Ring is helping Pastor Utecht and family at the Puppet Place at the South Dakota State Fair this week. It is such a favorite place of the little ones with their puppets and magic tricks, prizes, etc. Pastor Andrew was just a kid doing the tricks when our family spent a lot of time there. We all knew where the Puppet Place was. Stan Allard of Rapid City came down on Tuesday and visited his mother, Maxine, and put a new battery in her car. That afternoon Christine Dunham paid a visit to Maxines and got some cucumbers and material that Maxine had saved for her. Maxine, like so many of us, is finally enjoying many items from her garden. Everything seems so late this year. Susan Taft and Morgan went to White River for the volleyball game against New Underwood on Thurs- day evening. White River came out the winners. Wednesday afternoon the Norris School open house was enjoyed by many students and parents. Folks strolled through the sparkling shiny halls viewing the different classrooms and welcoming the teachers. After you had seen all the rooms you were greeted again by Bobbi Kelley, who is the head teacher, and was kept busy serving ice cream sundaes and iced tea. It was a perfect treat for those of us who had braved the heat. Jim and Marjorie Letellier and Andrea Beckwith visited Maxine Allard Thursday evening. Maxine is busy doing her thorough fall house cleaning. She can start in on mine when she gets done with hers. Ed and Carol Ferguson went to Rapid City on Friday and brought back their granddaughter, Kaitlyn Ferguson, to spend a few days. Kaitlyn and Carol along with Irene Kaufman and Margie Popkes were in Valentine on Saturday. Friday evening, the Jason Burma family and friend, Samuel Pedersen, from Sunshine Bible Academy and Julie Letellier of Kil- gore arrived at the James Letel- liers for the Labor Day weekend. Marty and Sue Larson arrived on Saturday, just for the day. A weekend guest of Robert and Sharon Ring was their daughter, Deb, of Spearfish. She had to go back early and meet the plane be- cause her special friend and family from Japan were arriving Sunday evening. Saturday the Letellier gals held a rummage sale at the Norris Township Hall. Marty and Sue Lar- son of Rapid City, Julie Letellier of Kilgore and Jason and JaLynn Burma were all home for the event. Sorry folks, but it was just too hot to make long johns for the baked sale, you will just have to come on Halloween for a free one, only if it cools off by then. Ken and Karen Toews of Ameri- can Missionary Fellowship spoke at Norris Bible Church Sunday morning following Sunday School. A potluck dinner was served at the Norris Township Hall following the service. Friday, Evan and Dorothy Bligh went to Rapid City on Friday. No school news this week due to the Labor Day weekend which meant no school on Monday. It is the last big break before school re- ally gets going in earnest. Labor Day weekend guests of Larry and Nancy Collins was their son, Jeff, and Carol Collins from Castlewood, SD. Jeff and Carol en- joyed visiting in the Bill and Gale Letellier homes Sunday. On Sunday afternoon, Ed, Carol and Kaitlyn Ferguson attended the Ansel and Mary WoodenKnife fam- ily reunion. It was held at Marys favorite garden spot along the Corn Creek Dam near the John and Kris WoodenKnife home. Sunday supper guests at the home of Dan Taft and family were Susans parents, Alvin and Judy Simmons, of Martin. All of the Dave Letellier family of Hulett, WY, was at the Gale Letellier ranch for the holiday weekend except Hailey. Jakki and Jimmy Burma accom- panied their aunt, Julie Letellier, to Rapid City on Sunday afternoon and visited in the home of thier uncle and aunt, Marty and Sue Larson. They were overnight guests and then returned home on Labor Day. JoAnn is hosting the SD Master Gardeners on Saturday, September 8. Everyone is invited to join them on a yard and garden tour in the af- ternoon at the Gale and JoAnn Letellier residence Saturday at 2:00 p.m. CST. I can guarantee, you wont be disappointed. Their yard is always picture perfect, gorgeous and well worth the trip. Have a great week! Twenty-two veterinarians at 20 clinics are now trained and certi- fied to do the nitrate QuikTest on standing forages. Producers should take standing forage that has been cut at ground level to SDSU Extension locations or veterinary clinics that have the testing available. Such crops in- clude milo, corn, millet, sudan, soy- beans, etc. The test does not work on corn that has already been chopped for silage. In this situation the sample would need to be sent to a lab for quantitative analysis.

A bevy of about 20 grouse roamed through several yards, evi- dently looking for food and water. With the summer being in a drought, water is scarce even for the animals and birds. It was fun watching the grouse move from yard to yard for several minutes.

CRP HAYING/GRAZING DEADLINES A variety of questions have come up lately concerning man- aged and emergency haying/graz- ing of CRP acres. Here are some general answers to a lot of those questions.

Emergency CRP haying was au- thorized for the period of August 2 through August 31, 2012. Emer- gency CRP grazing was authorized for the period of August 2 through September 30, 2012, although emergency CRP grazing was re- cently extended for two months (through November 30) if an up- dated NRCS grazing plan indi- cates there is sufficient grazing available.

Attorney General Marty Jackley has announced that the South Dakota Public Health Laboratory has been awarded $3,521 for the purchase of synthetic drug test standards. The money was awarded out of the Drug Control Fund. The award will assist local law enforcement in drug control and apprehension purposes. Synthetic drugs are increas- ingly affecting the health and safety of our youth. This award will assist law enforcement efforts with the accurate and timely testing of these dangerous chemicals, said Jackley. Senate Bill 23, which was passed in the 2012 legislative ses- sion, made a range of synthetic drugs controlled substance that cannot be legally possessed, dis- tributed or manufactured in South Dakota.

Junior Varsity The JV lost 2-0. They looked bet- ter than the first match against Little Wound, but we still have a lot to work on. Tori Letellier played well offensively, and Mackenzie Word looked strong on the defen- sive side. C Team The "C" team lost 2-0. We are a very young team and will continue to improve. Ciara Stoddard did a nice job setting and playing de- fense, and Shaina Solon played well at the net with some nice blocks.

Kenar VanderMay carried it 20 times for 57 yards and Chance Knutson 7 carries for 6 yards. Kenar Vander- May was 7-18 passing for 104 yards and 1 interception. Receiving leaders were, Chandlier Sudbeck 3 for 49 yards, Logan Ammons 2 for 37 yards, Logan Christensen 1 for 13, and Lane Patterson 1 for 5. Our offensive line, led by Clint Stout, along with Logan Chris- tensen, Gavin DeVries, Herbie O- Daniel, Logan Ammons and True Buchholz, along with full back Chance Knutson did a fine job this week under heavy blitz pressure from New Underwood. We had times when they were bringing 6-7 guys and we picked it up pretty ef- fectively. We had a couple of let downs, but overall Im pleased with the progress of our offensive line. Defensively we were led in a big way this week by Clint Stout who tallied a total of 17 tackles. We moved Clint from defensive end to middle line backer this year and he has really started to flourish in his new position with the help of fellow senior Chance Knutson who tallied 8 tackles this week. With these two guys in the middle we have a lot of experience that has proven to be very strong so far this season. We also have a solid set of out- side linebackers in Kenar Vander- May and Chandlier Sudbeck who also bring a lot of experience, as well as speed, to defend the out- side. They each had 6 and 4 tack- les, respectively. Our front line this week con- sisted of True Buchholz, Logan Am- mons and the little big man in the middle Klay ODaniel. These three guys do a good job of being aggres- sive and forcing the offensive line- man to block them, and when you can get five guys having to block three of ours, that frees up our line- backers a lot. True ended up with 5 tackles, Logan Ammons had 4 and Klay had 3. Sam Pretty Bear made sure that New Underwoods passing game wouldnt be effective as he was on constant watch at safety. Sam ended the game with 4 tackles. Lane Patterson got the nod this week at line backer as Logan Christensen was nursing a muscle strain in his leg. Lane stepped up and did a nice job as he ended the game with 4 tackles. I think we learned a lot about ourselves this week. New Under- wood has a very good and physical football team. We learned that if we keep the mistakes to a mini- mum and make a few adjustments here and there we can play with anyone this season. Our boys played with a lot of heart and they have worked really hard to this point in the year and I only expect them to get better as the season goes. The schedule certainly doesnt get any easier this week as we travel to Presho to take on the Lyman Raiders. Lyman comes into the game 0-1, losing to a tough White River club 36-20 last week. Lyman will pose as a huge test for us as they come off a 2011 season in which they appeared in the play- offs and didnt lose many kids to graduation. I look for our defense to keep us in the game this week, and hopefully offensively we can get it going again and finish the drives so we can put some points up on the board to help out our de- fense. The game this week is in Presho and it starts at 6:00 p.m. MT. Hope to see you there. New Underwood - 6 Kadoka Area Kougars - 0 The second game of the 2012 football season turned out to be a forty-eight minute nail biter as the Kougars and the Tigers of New Un- derwood turned out a tremendous defensive battle that unfortunately for the Kougars, ended in a 6-0 vic- tory for the Tigers. The score remained tied at zero until late in the third quarter when New Underwood took advantage of a Kougar turnover and produced the first and only points of the game. We played nearly flawless on de- fense only allowing the Tigers 168 total yards of offense. However, we had our mistakes offensively and on special teams. We turned the ball over three times this week and were stopped in the red zone mul- tiple times. You cant come up empty in the red zone that many times and expect to win. We also had some miscues on special teams that also caused us to have either bad field position offensively or give them good field position which put pressure on our defense. There were a number of posi- tives offensively as well. As I said before we only allowed 168 yards on defense, but we were also able to put together 243 yards on offense. We were able to move the ball quite effectively at times with a good mixture of run and pass. We had 39 rushing attempts for 139 yards. Our rushing attack was lead by Kougars play hard, drop to Tigers by one touchdown On the serve Victoria Letellier receives the ball and bumps it to the front row to set up the play.

Stilwell, Chairman Sheriff Clements presented a letter to the board informing the board that there are three E. F. Johnson mobile radios which are no longer being used by the Sheriffs Department, and it would be in the best interest of public safety if these radios could be transferred to the Green Valley and Belvidere Fire Departments. Discus- sion was held that Rushmore Communi- cations reprograms the E. F. Johnson radios. Denke moved, Bennett sec- onded, that the three E. F. Johnson mo- bile radios be declared surplus, and that one radio be transferred to Green Valley Fire Department, and the other two mo- bile radios be transferred to the Belvidere Fire Department. Discussion was held on readvertising the Deputy Sheriff position.

Sheriff Clements requested authorization to attend the Sheriffs Fall Convention in November 2012. Denke moved, Bonen- berger seconded, that Sheriff Clements be authorized to attend the Sheriffs Fall Convention in Watertown, SD. Jackie Stilwell, Emergency Manager, met with the board. She reported that twelve persons attended the August 2012 Haz- ard Mitigation Planning meeting. She en- couraged more county officials and personnel to attend the meetings and participate in the planning, as larger number of participants will create a larger in kind match for grant funds. She stressed that the Highway Superintend- ent should attend these meetings. The next Hazard Mitigation Planning meeting is scheduled for September 5, 2012. Discussion was held on radio FCC li- censing. Discussion was also held on use of pagers, and receiving text mes- sages on cell phones from 911 dispatch. A quote was received from GenPro Power Systems, Rapid City, SD for a larger generator at the courthouse. The quote was for a 36 KW generator, with in- stallation, for $20,651.51. Discussion was held on moving the current genera- tor to the Highway Department shop, in- stead of transferring it to the Kadoka Fire Department building. Jackie Stilwell will include the new generator quote in the current Homeland Security grant applica- tion. Jackie Stilwell informed the board she will also put in for one radio for the High- way Department in the grant application. Discussion was held on whether the Kadoka Ambulance and the County Highway Department could share a re- peater. The monthly $150.00 cell phone al- lowance paid to Jackie Stilwell was dis- cussed. The board requested that she check on new plans available at this time. Apportionment of fire insurance premium monies as per SDCL 10-44-9.5 was pre- sented to the board. Funds apportioned to qualified fire departments located within Jackson County were as follows: Interior, $949.82; Long Valley, $2,867.81; and Kadoka, $3,653.62. Belvidere and Green Valley did not meet certification re- quirements, and their share of funding was apportioned to the other three de- partments. Vicki Wilson, Auditor, in- formed the board that Central S. D. Enhancement District assisted in provid- ing the 2010 census information needed in calculating the apportionment of the funds. Following discussion, Bennett moved, Denke seconded, that the appor- tionment be approved as presented. Twiss presented a mutual aid agreement prepared by the Forest Service for re- questing manpower and equipment for assistance in control of fires. Twiss in- formed the board that one of their re- quirements is that all equipment operators have taken Emergency Man- agement certification classes, and that County Highway Department employees would be required to become certified. No action was taken. Twiss also reported that the Oglala Sioux Tribe / BIA has proposed drawing up a mutual aid agreement with the Kadoka Fire Department, and may include Jack- son County for the use of county equip- ment in building fire guards.

In the United States, beans have provided important nutrients through national eco- nomic disasters like the Great De- pression, as well as individual hard times. Whether dry or canned, using beans to stretch family budgets continues to be a common thrifty method since they are an economical source of pro- tein. An ounce equivalent (1/4 cup) of dry beans is a bargain at only 6 cents for cooked dry beans and 18 cents for canned beans. Beans are an ideal way to eat well without spending a lot of money. Black beans, pinto beans, kid- ney beans, and lima beans are a few examples of bean types. For maximum health benefits, the USDA recommends that adults eat more than three cups of beans each week. Beans are low in fat, sodium and cholesterol-free. Indi- viduals can count beans as vegeta- bles or protein according to the USDAs MyPlate. Vegetables are measured by cups; 1 cup cooked beans equals 1 cup of vegetables. Protein foods are measured in ounces; 1/4 cup cooked beans equals 1 ounce equivalent for the protein foods group. Age, gender and activity level determine the recommended amounts for both food groups. MyPlate shares a cost effective, 2000 calorie food pattern that includes beans athttp://1.usa.gov/wiJQSP. Beans are also high in both sol- uble and insoluble fiber which aids digestion. Fiber helps reduce food cravings, which supports weight management. A 1/2 cup of cooked dry beans provides 6 grams of fiber. The recommended daily in- take of fiber is 14 grams per 1000 daily calories. Beans contain fo- late, an essential nutrient that protects against heart disease and a variety of vitamins and minerals including iron, potassium, and cal- cium. To prepare beans, add 10 cups of cold water for each pound (2 cups) of dry beans you plan to cook. Bring the water to a boil and con- tinue boiling for one to three min- utes. Cover the pot. Let stand for 4 hours, then drain and rinse the soaked beans. Lastly, cover beans with fresh water. Serve plain or use in a favorite recipe. Two cups of dry beans equals 4 to 5 cups of cooked beans and 1-1/2 cups of cooked beans equals 1 can of drained beans. To limit potential gastrointesti- nal side effects, slowly introduce beans in the diet. When using dry beans, drain the soak water and rinse before cooking. When using canned beans, rinse them before adding to recipes. Obtain great bean recipes at http://www.beansforhealth.com/ courtesy of the U.S. Dry Bean Council. Improve your health and keep more money in your pocket by serving beans. They are a nutri- ent-dense source of low-cost pro- tein. Its something to toot about! Ann Schwader, Nutrition Field Specialist SDSU Extension-Winner Regional Extension Center Drought Meetings for Cow-Calf Producers SDSU Field and State Exten- sion Specialists will be holding 6 meetings across South Dakota during the week of September 10th. These meetings are en effort to prepare cow/calf producers for the upcoming winter during a drought. Plans are to address the nutritional, reproductive, and eco- nomic issues facing cow/calf pro- ducers following a summer drought. The dates, times and locations of the meetings are as follows: 9/10 Sale Barn, 3:00 pm MT, Martin, SD; 9/11 Virginian, 7:00 PM CT, Miller, SD; 9/13 Ranchers Grill, 7:00 PM MT, Belle Fourche, SD; 9/13 Sale Barn, 7:00 PM CT, Tripp, SD; and 9/17 Sale Barn, 4:30 PM CT. Refreshments will be provided. For more information call 605-842-1267 or visit http://igrow.org/. Insect Pests and Winter Wheat Planting Date The recommended planting dates for winter wheat in SD are September 15 October 20. To pro- tect against insect and mite pests that attack winter wheat, the later the better. Waiting until the mid- dle or end of the recommended range of dates to plant exposes the wheat crop to insects and mites for less time. If grasshoppers are a threat in your area, double-seeding the edges of fields to compensate for grasshopper feeding and scouting regularly are recommended to pre- vent stand losses. Eight to four- teen adults per square yard in the field or 21-40 adults per square yard in field margins are the ac- tion thresholds for grasshoppers. Another pest to take seriously before planting winter wheat is the wheat curl mite. Wheat curl mites transmit Wheat Streak Mo- saic Virus (WSMV). The mites cause minimal damage due to feeding, but the virus disease they transmit can cause very signifi- cant losses. Wheat infected with WSMV is stunted, and has mot- tled, streaked leaves. Streaks on leaves of infected plants are green- yellow in color, and are not contin- uous. If plants become infected in the fall, yield losses can be severe. Scouting for this mite is not needed because the only effective management strategy for this mite is prevention. These mites cannot be effectively managed by pesti- cide applications, and preventing infection is the key in managing them and avoiding the disease. To prevent infestations of the wheat curl mite and infection with WSMV, volunteer wheat should be destroyed and a 10-14 day volun- teer wheat-free period should be maintained before planting winter wheat in the fall. No-till producers can use non-selective herbicides to keep the fields clean, where tillage can be effective if farming conven- tionally. These pests use volunteer wheat, grassy weeds as alternative hosts so maintaining good sanita- tion practices and managing grassy weeds is essential. Preven- tative measures should be taken especially in high-risk areas or if wheat emerges before corn, sorghum, or millet in adjacent fields dries down.

This is the time of the year when deer tend to succumb to hemor- rhagic disease, also known as epi- zootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD), or blue tongue. The disease is common in white- tailed deer and is typically detected in late summer or early fall. The virus is spread by a biting midge and causes extensive inter- nal hemorrhaging. Many deer ex- hibit no clinical signs and appear perfectly healthy; other deer may have symptoms such as respiratory distress, fever, and swelling of the tongue. With highly virulent strains of the virus, deer can die in three days or less. Affected deer are often found in low-lying areas or near rivers or ponds, where they go to combat the high fever. People who see sick deer or find several dead deer in one locale are asked to contact their local conser- vation officers or call the Pierre GFP office at 605-773-5913. EHD outbreaks can be locally severe but rarely affect more than 25 percent of a local deer popula- tion. In rare cases, the disease will affect more than 50 percent. Deer may continue dying from hemorrhagic disease until a hard freeze reduces the midge popula- tions that carry the disease. EHD is not infectious to hu- mans.
