Miss Nancy showed them where their boxes were and each student got to mail their own valentine. Miss Nancy showed them how to cancel the stamps, looked at stamps and saw where the mail comes in to the post office. They took a picture with her inside before checking the outside postal box. Then they helped Miss Nancy put up the American Flag. Preschoolers mail valentines officials, congressional staff & del- egates, political groups Built: telecommunications, util- ities, industrial parks, businesses Power vs. Interest We should involve people with varying levels of power and inter- est. Three quadrants of this grid are likely to yield productive new members. Low power/low interest is not worth the effort of recruit- ment. Power High Power/Low Interest High Power/High Interest Interest Low Power/High Interest Group Formation Dynamic: Not all groups are the same, however, nearly all follow this pat- tern. All of these phases are all nec- essary and inevitable for the team to grow, to face challenges, to tackle problems, to find solutions, to plan work and to deliver results. Per- forming is the phase where groups become confident, their energy is channeled, they are comfortable with new challenges, disputes are handled easily resolved and goals are achieved! Small groups were formed by connecting with people who had op- posite interests than your own. Those groups worked at communi- cation skills while discussing a meeting they attended where the group appeared to be in the storm- ing stage. The characteristics of a great team were examined that could lead to norming and per- forming. Overcoming Barriers to Recruitment: Small groups worked on answer- ing questions about barriers, and developing a call to action that a team from Kadoka is putting to- gether in a final product. Develop a Call to Action: Small groups came up with spe- cific names of people to ask to be in- volved in SET. They divided up the names so each person had contacts to make. Reasons for involvement will be put into the call for action. Our region is facing declining populations, fewer jobs, housing shortages, aging residents, youth outmigration and economic insta- bility. We are coming together as a part of the SET program to find so- lutions to these issues. Our team includes a diverse group of people with access to many resources. But, we also need the talents and net- works others can bring to the table. We cannot continue to watch these factors get worse. We must act now for results in the next 1-5 years. Many impacts will last far beyond 5 years. We believe our efforts will pos- itively impact all residents of the region; specifically small busi- nesses. We also feel we can impact our regions overall economic stabil- ity and job growth which will en- courage our population to live here, work here, raise their family here and retire here. Horseshoe River Case Study The group read through a case study about a collaboration that had some initial success, but began to lose momentum. Small groups came up with ways to avoid that situation, and to manage the con- cerns of multiple groups. 7 Habits of Effective Regional Leadership: 1) Be proactive 2) Begin with the end in mind 3) Seek first to understand then to be understood 4) Put first things first 5) Think win-win, be inclusive 6) Synergize 7) Sharpen the saw by measur- ing performance (change the ap- proach/sharpen the saw if necessary) Next Module: Developing Our Vision and Goals March 12, 2013, Open Bible Church, Midland, 4:45 p.m. tenta- tive tour of Stroppel Inn and Bath- house, followed by a light supper. 5:30 8:30 p.m. Session 4. Homework Assignment: Kadoka team develops Call to Action. Individual contacts made from lists developed. Encourage new people to attend Module 4. Give some thought to a re- gional vision. Badlands/Bad River Region Module 3 Highlights: 2/12/13 SET Purpose & Need: Help rural communities/coun- ties to work together as a regional team in developing and implement- ing an economic development blue- print that builds on the current and emerging economic strengths of their region. Creating, attracting and retaining jobs as a single rural county in isolation is becoming in- creasing ineffective. Economic de- velopment progress is more likely to be realized when rural counties work together as a region to assess, design and implement plans that build on their comparative eco- nomic strengths. Website for additional informa- tion as well as curriculum: http://srdc.msstate.edu/set/phase3. html Progress: The program was launched in 2010 and thus far two phases have been completed in 19 states and 40 regions. Phase III includes seven additional states; Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and South Dakota. The SET program is ACTION oriented. Each step in the process increases the likelihood of ultimate plan achievement.

February is International Boost Self-Esteem Month. Winter dol- drums can get the best of anyone, and this annual observation is a timely opportunity to focus on cul- tivating feelings of self-respect. 1. Stop comparing yourself to others. Trying to live up to or ex- ceed someone elses personal best is a losing game. As the saying goes, How boring would it be if we were all the same? Focus on being the best you that you can be. 2. Compliment yourself regu- larly, either by looking in the mir- ror and saying something you like about yourself or writing it in a journal. Many times, were quick to compliment others on their success but hesitate to do the same for our- selves. 3. Exercise consistently, at least 30 minutes of exercise several times a week, to strengthen mus- cles and to burn calories. Improve your physical strength, and you may feel a sense of empowerment that can dramatically enhance your self-esteem. 4. Simply smile. The mere act of smiling changes blood flow to the brain and can actually makes you feel happier and relieve tension. A smile sets off chemical and physical reactions within your mind and body, releasing endorphins that boost your mood. 5. Focus on your accomplish- ments. Forgive yourself for mis- takes and focus on the positive by celebrating your victories.

Kadoka Press, PO Box 309, Kadoka, SD 57543-0309 605-837-2259 Joshua 1:8-9 The message of Joshua 1 was meant for all of Gods children. Scriptures timeless principles for spiritual growth are as relevant to us as they were to the ancient Jewish people. The Lords command to remain stead- fast and courageous is still in effect, as is His promise to abide with us in all circumstances. Moreover, it is still true that faith and courage develop in believers who meditate on Gods Word regularly. Fear, the antithesis of courage, is born of disobedience to the Lord, unbelief in Him, and/or doubt about His will or His ways. The weight and binding power of fear can drag a person down like shackles on a prisoner. But Scripture contains truths, promises, and principles that break those chains. Have you ever noticed how focusing your mind on the Word quiets your spirit? In that peaceful silence, faith dissolves fear. Gods revelations about Himself in the Biblenamely, that He is good, sovereign, and our loving Fatherhave a way of sharpening our perception about whatever were facing We can see the true nature of a matter and it is not bigger than our God. As a result, we cast off the staggering weight of our burdens and instead grow a deep-rooted confidence in the goodness and sovereignty of God. My friends, that is the definition of courage. Gods admonition to JoshuaBe strong and courageous! (Josh. 1:9)is meant for modern believers too. Like the Israelites, we battle strong enemies and face walls that must come down. Do not give in to fear, but break its hold through the powerful words of Scripture, and live in confidence. Where Courage Originates Inspiration Point Monday, February 25 Spaghetti with meatsauce, green beans, tossed salad, french bread, and mandarin oranges.

Meals for the Elderly prohibitive. After considerable de- bate was heard it passed on to the floor by a vote of 7 yeas and 6 nays. I feel strongly that state wide brand inspection would help with the on going problem of livestock being transported across the river without proper documentation of ownership and curb livestock rustling. I argued that agriculture is South Dakotas number one in- dustry and we need to look at all possible steps to protect the live- stock producer. HB 1187 also was to provide al- ternative brand inspection proce- dures for certain rodeo livestock. This bill was brought to the com- mittee by Rep. Heinert. It would put in place a permanent brand in- spection for rodeo companys that are moving livestock to different areas of the state on a regular basis. It passed out of committee with 13 yeas and 0 nays. This week we were entertained with a banquet by the Independent Community Bankers of South Dakota Association. I have to say that the information I came away with was enlightening to say the least. I want to leave you with some facts that Im sure many peo- ple are not aware off. Thirty-nine % is the effective tax rate of most South Dakota Banks, 2.32% is the effective tax rate of Farm Credit Services in South Dakota, 0.00% is the effective tax rate of all SD Fed- eral Credit Unions, $89,386,262 is the total income of Credit Unions and Farm Credit Services in 2011, $21,735,593 is what the SD Gen- eral Fund did not receive over the last 6 years from not collecting the 6% Bank Franchise Tax from Credit Unions and Farm Credit Services. As regulations bears down on community banks and small towns lose access to financial services I have to wonder why Con- gress continues to allow expansion of tax exempt entities at the ex- pense of the taxpayers. As these en- tities expand tax revenue coming into the state general fund will con- tinue to decline which will directly effect our schools, roads and gov- ernment services. As always you can contact me at the House Chamber number 773- 3851. Leave a phone number and Ill call you back. The fax number is 773-6806. If you send a fax, ad- dress it to Rep. Elizabeth May. You can also email me at rep.may@state.sd.us during ses- sion. You can keep track of bills and committee meetings at this link: http://legis.state.sd.us/ You can also use this link to find the legislators, see what committees they are on, read all the bills and track the sta- tus of each bill, listen to committee hearings, and contact the legisla- tors. Well another busy week! Due to the snow storm Monday session was cancelled and we met on Fri- day for a make-up day. HB 1151 extended the general immunity from liability for direc- tors and officers of certain non- profit fire and ambulance departments and to limit certain actions for personal injury or death. This bill will ensures our local voluntary firemen and EMT providers will not be held responsi- ble for accidents going to emergen- cies in private vehicle. HB 1128 was brought to the floor to allow home school students the opportunity to participate in the Opportunity Scholarship pro- gram. After considerable debate on the floor the bill did not pass with a vote of 35 yeas and 35 nays. South Dakota Non-Government funded schools save taxpayers $128,985,528 with 16,639 students enrolled in over 97 non government schools. The SD Dept of Education expenditures per average daily member, 2011-2012 school year was a state-wide average cost per student was $7,752 and this cost does not include capital expendi- tures and bond redemption. I voted to pass HB 1128 feeling strongly that all students are part of South Dakota and saying other wise is hypocritical. HB 1135 was a highly con- tentious bill that caused a lot of de- bate on the floor. It regulates access to and use of non-meandered wa- ters on private property. SD Wild Life Federation and the SD Game Fish & Parks were highly opposed to this bill. It is the result of flood- ing in the Northeast part of the state in the past few years. We heard testimony from land owners that corn fields were being dam- aged by sportsmen and concerns about the safety of their self and private property was in question. I confer with the V Amendment of the US Constitution that reads, No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. Had the SD Wild Life Federaton or SD Game Fish and Park asked for per- mission to carry out hunting and fishing on private property and al- lowed compensation to the land owner either through tax relief or hunting fees I think this could of been settled. The problem has been on going for nine years with no ac- tion. It passed the floor with a 37 yeas and 32 nays. HB 1089 an act to require statewide livestock ownership in- spection was brought to the com- mittee by Rep. Dean Schrempp. He stated his ongoing concern with the lack of inspections that are being conducted. Currently there is no brand inspection east river. Last year there were only eleven inspec- tions of livestock crossing the river and eight inspections the year be- fore. SD Dept of Agriculture, NCBA, Farm Bureau and SD Live- stock Markets all came out in oppo- sition to this bill stating it was cost From Representive Liz May of our state, we have already seen some of our best and brightest teachers go there, whether they are new college grads or experienced teachers. Even the statistics gath- ered which adjust for cost of living differences still put SD at the very bottom when compared to our neighbors. As more of our teaching workforce nears retirement, how much longer can we really afford to continue with business as usual? Any piece of legislation which requires an appropriation of funds must go through the Appropria- tions Committee. Issues may first be heard for testimony and policy considerations in another commit- tee, but eventually makes their way to Appropriations when any tax dollars are attached. In the case of school funding, often these bills go to the House or Senate Ed- ucation Committees and then are referred to Appropriations. The day I attended this committee, Feb. 13th, the Senate Appropriations Committee listened to six different school funding bills. All bills are being deferred to a later date as Appropriators await the revenue estimates which are scheduled to be presented by the SD Depart- ment of Revenue during the last week of February. Day after day, the Appropriators hear requests for money from the General Fund, and must eventually make recommen- dations to the House and Senate as to where we place our priorities. Every project in the state wants money for a wide variety of proj- ects. Will we put our schools first in line or wait until the very end of the line and give them the left- overs? Lets hope this session we can start to make up for the big cuts weve taken in the past and have yet to make up, even in part. I invite you to contact me with your questions and concerns on these topics or any of interest to you. I may be reached at 605-685- 4241 or Sen.Bradford@state.sd.us Its hard to believe but week six of the SD 2013 Legislature has ended with 24 days out of 38 day Session completed. February 20 marks the cross-over day which is the point in time where all bills must be completed in their House of Origin and travel to the other legislative body. We have very full agendas both in committees and on the floor as this deadline quickly approaches. I serve on the Senate Health and Judiciary Committees but I also spent most of one morning this week listening to the Senate Appro- priations Committee. They were scheduled to hear a wide variety of bills on school funding and Im al- ways interested in that discussion. I thought Id use this weeks col- umn to share some information on this vital topic. The good news for SD schools is that they continue to grow. This school year, there were 1,700 more students than last year. Next school year (2013-14) we are pro- jected to grow by another 1,600 stu- dents. The challenge that growth imposes affects both local school districts and state government as we attempt to direct resources to- wards our schools. Some schools, especially in more remote rural areas, would love to have this problem as they are more likely to see declining enrollment. School funding is certainly my top priority as a legislator. Unfor- tunately, this important decision is typically made towards the very end of the session. We know that schools are struggling to make up for the budget cuts of past years. Youve heard many of the numbers before. We are dead last in average teacher salary. Perhaps even worse news is that the gap behind # 49 (North Dakota) continues to widen. NDs average teacher now makes close to $7,000 more than the aver- age SD teacher. Wyoming does even better and in the western part From Senator Jim Bradford Hans E. Hanson_________________ Hans E. Hanson, age 91 of Philip, S.D., died Friday, February 15, 2013, at the Philip Nursing Home. Hans E. Hanson was born No- vember 17, 1921, in Mt. Vernon, the son of Martin and Lizzie Han- son. He grew up on a farm near Mt. Vernon and attended rural schools, prior to graduating from Mt. Vernon High School in 1939. Hans was united in marriage to Velma P. Lorang on June 8, 1941, in Las Vegas, Nev. They made their home in Burbank, Calif., where their first child, Sharon, was born. Later, Hans entered the U. S. Army and served in the Pa- cific during World War II. During that period, Velma and Sharon moved back to Mt. Vernon and lived with Hans mother until his discharge from the Army. In 1946, the family moved to Madison where a son, Michael, was born. Later, they moved to Mitchell, and Hans operated a Standard Oil bulk agency. In October 1950, the family moved to Philip. Subsequently, a third child, Steven, was born in Kadoka. In 1953, Hans and Velma purchased the Ned Ronning City Meat Market and Locker Plant and, in 1960, they built and oper- ated Hansons Super Valu until their retirement in 1986. Throughout his life in Philip, Hans was a leading businessman and active promoter of the Philip community. Among Hans many contributions were his service as both president of the Haakon School Board and Chamber of Commerce. He also was famous for organizing large community-based pit barbeques. Hans was proud of having played for the Mitchell Kernels, a semi-pro baseball team, and most of all for being a military veteran. Most recently, he played a founding leadership role in the es- tablishment of the Philip Veterans Living Memorial. Second only to his family, was his love of golf, hunting and fishing. Hans and Velma were long serving members of the First Lutheran Church in Philip. Hans was grateful for having shared his life with a daughter, Sharon Johnson, of Shawnee, Okla.; two sons, Michael and his wife, Shizuko, of Fairfax, Va., and Steve and his wife, Paulette, of Nashville, Tenn. He also is sur- vived by five grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Hans was preceded in death by his loving wife, Velma; his parents; 13 brothers and sisters; his son-in- law, Orrin Johnson; and his grand- daughter Carries husband, Chad McCoy. In lieu of flowers, the family re- quests memorials be directed to the Philip Volunteer Fire Depart- ment. Services were held Tuesday, February 19, at the American Le- gion Hall in Philip, with Pastor Frezil Westerlund officiaing. Music was provided by Mari- anne Frein, pianist, and Elvera Moos, vocalist. Ushers were Quinn McCoy and Seth Johnson. Pallbearers were Scott, Matthew and Craig Johnson, Mark Hanson and Logan McCoy. Honorary pall- bearers were Hans granddaugh- ter, Carrie McCoy, and his 11 great-grandchildren. Military graveside services were Wednesday, February 20, at the Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis. Arrangements were with the Rush Funeral Home of Philip. His online guestbook is available at www.rushfuneralhome.com The oldest known lens was found in the ruins of Nineveh made from polished rock crystal. Aristophanes the Greek mentions in one of his plays, the use of such a lens to burn holes in parchment, while Pliny the physician used a lens to cauterize wounds. A thousand years later monks started using "reading stones", which were sliced off sections of polished quartz spheres, and sometime in the later half of the 1200s the monks put these reading stones up on their noses and called them spectacles. It is no surprise that it was in Venice, Italy where glassmaking was (and still is) an art, that con- vex reading or magnifying glasses were refined. About three hundred years later, concave lenses were found to help the near-sighted Pope Leo the 10th, who wore such spectacles to aid him while hunting. It took just about three hundred more years for bifocals to be invented by America's own Benjamin Franklin. It was in the mid 1800s that a protective lens was made that fit directly over the eyeball of a man who had lost his eyelid from skin cancer. This first "contact lens" protected his eye from drying out and resulting blindness. Over the next 150 years contact lenses came into commercial use and moved from blown, to ground, to molded glass, and then to a whole variety of hard then soft plastic lenses. And now the knowledge of re- fracting light with lenses has brought us to computer guided, surgically altering the shape of the eyeball and cornea with scalpels of laser beams. Where will we go next?

The following is what he wrote to the Dear Iwan Family. Looking through boxes and bun- dles of paper, I came across the en- closed letter which actually should have reached you some 50 years ago. As you can see from the enve- lope, it traveled quite a bit around the world before its final dispatch now. It probably contains some photographs. Let me give you some back- ground information. In 1961-62, I spent a year studying at Cornell University. Before returning to Germany, I decided to tour your country and Mexico. I had $250 of my own, and, according to the doc- tors at Cornell, being able to stand cottage cheese, a loaf of white bread, and one or two pints of milk every day for about 120 days should guarantee a healthy surviv- ing. I hit the road at the beginning of June 1962. Hitchhiking was the means of my moving. On June 14, I asked the driver who gave me a ride to stop and drop me at the junction of the road from North Platte to the north. He asked whether I was sure because there would be pretty much of not much. When I told him I would not mind and that I wanted to see the Sandhills region, he mentioned that in about three days time he would return on the same route, and, if I was still around, he would pick me up again. This was not necessary. After a few hours, a re- ally old vehicle stopped, picked me up, and gave me a lift. When they had to turn off west, I was alone again, surrounded by low sand dunes. For the next hours, the heads of cattle appeared, ruminat- ing, looking at me for a few sec- onds, and then submerging again. Finally a car approached, stopped, and the driver bent over and asked, What dropped you here, son? Where do you sleep? When I answered that I had a sleeping bag and the roadside, he just answered, You might be in for a surprise. This year we have un- usual rainfall. You better jump in. We will find you a roof. And thus, pretty near the middle of nowhere as I started to feel after all the hours of waiting and in a very silent surrounding, I learned to know Mr. Iwan, the driver. Driving for miles, then at road 16 turning to the west and leaving the high- way at Stamford Store, entering a gravel road towards the south, and after another couple of miles turn- ing around a corner, the days ride ended at your ranch. I saw several low houses and 10 or so men who, if I am not mistaken, were all the sons of the Iwan clan. In the evening, they asked me to join them for a beer. To my sur- prise, this was 30 or more miles away across the range. The next morning (June 15) very early and after a great breakfast in the dark- ness, all drove to the center of the ranch where I was confronted with a horse. I had never been near to such an animal and, after a few moments, I was on top of it, lifted up by two of the young men who had stood right and left of me. I followed their advice and stayed atop. The day passed by rounding up and branding cattle. I have to confess, if you had to make a selec- tion on this day about who was the more useful farmhand, I myself would have had to vote definitely for the horse. It knew in advance where to move to bring the cattle together and just ignored my or- ders at the reins. In the evening, there was another beer, again some 15 or so miles across the ranch. This time it was towards the west. The next day I was not much able to move, not so much from the beer but from daylong range activ- ities. On June 16, all went to a rodeo in the Badlands, and I was glad I didnt have to join the per- formance but could watch from be- hind the fence. After these two great days, I hit the road again Seattle, San Francisco, Los Ange- les, Grand Canyon to name only some of my stops, and then Mexico and Yucatan. From there it was back to New York to catch the ship to Germany. You may ask, What about the letter prepared for dispatch to you in the Philippines? In 1963 and up to 1965, I went for research work to the southern Philippines. My base among the Muslims was the Dansalan Junior College in Marawi City. Somehow, the letter slipped in a heap of paper and turned up by chance just now. I do not want to extend this letter, but let me tell you. The stay at your ranch definitely gave me a great insight into life in the countryside, and it impressed me deeply. I just would like to thank you once more very much after 50 years. With best wishes, Klaus Hausherr. The letter contained a picture of the Stamford Store from a post- card plus five photos of a branding at our place. In one, I was holding the back leg of a calf for branding. I would have been between my junior and senior years of high school. Also in the photos were Ted Vobr (who is still on the ranch,) my cousin, Joe Iwan and Jim Srb. The Mr. Iwan noted was my Uncle Harold (1899-1979.) A blast from the past indeed. BlastfromthePast Lookin Around by Syd Iwan Mark and Nicci DeVries and sons have been busy with wrestling again this week as usual. On Sat- urday, the family was in Rapid City where Gavin and Geoffrey took part in the regional wrestling tour- nament. Gavin placed third and will proceed to the state tourna- ment at Aberdeen next weekend. On Sunday, the family was in Kadoka for an AAU meet in which youngest son, Greyson, took part. For that, Mark helped with the meet, Nicci helped with the conces- sion stand, and the older boys lent a hand as necessary. Monday was back to school again. After the wrestling season, track and field is on the horizon as a replacement. Jodie OBryan is getting a lot of beading and crafts done while she waits for her ribs to heal after a horse fell with her three weeks ago during a barrel race. Jodie said the ribs are better as gauged by the fact that sneezing doesnt hurt as much now as it did. She figures after more beading and whatnot during this upcoming week which is forecast to be cold anyway, she should be out and about more. This week, Scot and Jodie had visitors from Ft. Yates, ND, who brought some of their horses for shoeing and training. They have been bringing horses to the OBryans for about thirty years now. Other visi- tors included some folks from Har- ford that Jodie grew up with. John and Jamie Dolezal are not taking part in the annual play at Midland this year. This is quite a change for both of them. They de- cided they had other things they should do at home instead. Having a young son in the house can some- times promote changes in lifestyle and activities. Wally and Cheryll Wells were visited a couple mornings this week by Betty Kusick who stopped in for coffee. Wally doesnt have to tend cattle on a daily basis this winter since his are currently near Rapid City where his son keeps an eye on them. Dave and Jean Calhoon were visited by their three grandchil- dren on Saturday. They picked them up at Murdo and brought them to the ranch. James brought a friend along as well. After a busy day, their parents, Dixie and Carston, picked them up and took them back home to Vivian. James is now a teenager, Carter is six and Evan is two. Jean said the four boys were active enough to add a little brightness to life. Larry and Jo Johnston also en- tertained grandchildren on Sun- day, namely Linays children, Alex and Hallie. Hallies twin, however, stayed home with the folks. Alex and Hallie were picked up in Kadoka at a wrestling meet that Alex took part in. Another wrestling meet in Philip on Mon- day will serve as a kid-return vehi- cle. Jo said they are still working on basement renovation as they have been for some time now. The work is proceeding and should be done before too much longer. Rick and Ronda Dennis went to Rapid City Thursday evening and picked up their daughter, Bobbi, at the airport. While in Rapid City they were guests of Dana DeVries. In addition to keep some appoint- ments and doing some shopping, they played several games of pitch. Everyone returned home on Satur- day morning. Floyd and Jane Iwan attended a gun show at the Ramkota in Pierre on Sunday. Their son, Harold, was also there so they got to visit with him some at a caf. Floyd said gun prices have taken a jump, probably due to all the talk about gun con- trol. Sales are brisk. After visiting Runnings and a few other places, Floyd and Jane returned home. Earlier in the week, Floyd had some eye surgery in Rapid City to reduce pressure in his eye. He is scheduled to return for a checkup later this week. Syd Iwan went to Rapid City on Saturday to get a new love seat for son Chance. Half of the old one was in a permanent state of recline. Chances TV also gave out last week so a new one of those was found. Since winter coats were on sale at greatly reduced prices, Syd got one of those to replace his cur- rent one that is starting to have zipper problems. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket. Will Rogers Ed and Carol Ferguson went to Rapid City on Tuesday for an eye appointment. Their daughter, Cora Brickman, met them for lunch. Tuesday, the James Letelliers were among several area folks who attended the Logterman family bull sale in Valentine, NE. They met up with Rev. Don and Anna May Letellier of Wood Lake and Julie Letellier of Kilgore after the sale and all enjoyed supper at Pizza Hut. Dan Taft has been making trips to Martin for therapy on his shoul- der. We are praying it will heal properly for you, Dan. The Wednesday night Lenten Services are held at the St. John Lutheran Church in Norris at 6:00 p.m. CST with soup supper follow- ing at 7:00. Sharon Ring and Jessie Ring provided the soup last week, while others brought snacks and dessert. Everyone is welcome to at- tend. Carol Ferguson worked in the Norris Post Office on Thursday and Friday in the absence of Susan Taft. Susan was called to work at the Wanblee Post Office on Friday afternoon. Thursday, James and Marjorie Anne Letellier and Julie Letellier of Kilgore enjoyed the Sunshine Bible Academy girls basketball games at Dakota Christian near Platte. The games were fun, but the roads werent; they were icy all the way from Winner. The Letel- liers granddaughter, Cassie, plays for Sunshine Bible. Andee Beckwith enjoyed taking in the basketball game with her parents, Paul and LuAnne, of Pierre; White River vs. James Val- ley Christian in Ft. Pierre on Thursday evening. By all reports that was one for the books and White River came home to play two more games back to back. White River won all three games, too. Proud doesnt begin to describe our feelings any more, those kids de- serve every ounce of support we can give them, because they all work very hard to stay on top. The fact that we have watched them grow into talented, intelligent ath- letes is a plus that only we home town folks can enjoy. We are behind you all the way, kids. Be sure and attend the game against Lyman on Friday night sponsored by the White River Tigers. Dan and Susan Taft kept an ap- pointment for Dan in Rapid City on Thursday and also they took time out to visit Christine Dunham in the hospital. The Tafts went out for supper to celebrate Valentines Day, too. June Ring babysat for Bruce and Jessie Ring on Valentines Day so they could enjoy the Valentine sup- per at the White River Museum that evening. Friday, June was busy watching kids again while Bruce, Jessie and Stephanie kept appointments in Valentine, NE. Maxine has been busy writing letters to her classmates. Leave it to Maxine to find something to keep herself busy. Maxine Allards daughter, Sharon, from Spearfish arrived on Friday and spent the night. The gals invited June Ring to join them for supper on Friday evening. Friday night, I think the whole Blackpipe/Norris community moved to White River for the girls basketball parents night with games against New Underwood. It was so nice to see them all there supporting our kids. We are very proud of all of them. Only missed having Grandma Christine there, but you can be sure she was think- ing of them all. Christine has been hospitalized in Rapid City for the last couple weeks and the worse part is it is during basketball sea- son. Get well quick Christine so you can be there when they need you the most and that is at the tournaments. Friday night Samantha Taft came home for the long weekend. Alvin Simmons of Martin was a dinner guest at the Dan Taft home on Saturday. That afternoon the Tafts visited at the Howard and Nette Heinert home. Dan Tafts brother, Francis, of Pierre arrived Sunday for the Monday holiday. Jesse, Ed and Carol Ferguson were in Valentine, NE, on Sunday afternoon. They took Irene Kauf- man out for dinner to celebrate her birthday. Over the weekend little Risa was running a fever so in the mid- dle of the night on Sunday, Jessie Ring took her to the hospital at Rosebud and the next thing they knew; they were on a plane headed for Rapid City. Heres hoping that little gal is on the mend soon. June Ring and Bruce made a trip to Valentine, NE, on Monday morning to pickup the vehicle that Jessie had driven there. Have a great week!

This week we had several visi- tors. Some of them included: Phyl- lis Word, who has been stopping by and visiting with many of the resi- dents. Phyllis and Diane Lurz dropped off some very special Valentines to each resident, in which we appreciate. Mickie Word had visitors throughout the week including: Tori, Katy, Samantha, Jade, Jessie, Mary Graupmann, Bonnie Mad- sen, and Mickies husband, Bob, who stops by daily. Lola Joyce Riggins stopped by to visit. Dwight Louder enjoyed a good visit with his wife, Dorothy, and his son, Brad. I hope he had that spe- cial Valentine made up for her! Alice Wilmarth is blessed to get to see her family on a daily basis. She received several bouquets of flowers making her room look and smell like the florists! What a won- derful Valentines Day she had. Shorty Ireland had a visit from his daughter and others throughtout his birthday week. He received so many cards and some of them were really funny! Reverend Ray and Colleen Greenseth of Murdo stopped by to see Mary Ellen Herbaugh and Mel Koester. Ive got to tell you how over- whelmed I felt this week by all the flowers, cards, balloon bouquets, candy, Valentine hugs and kisses the residents received, it truly does make their day! Emergency Services Act that, if passed, would allow eligible hospi- tals in rural and medically under- served areas to use interactive telehealth programs that can con- nect at any hour of the day to a board-certified emergency physi- cian to satisfy the federal emer- gency room staffing requirements. This use of emergency telehealth technology in this capacity would be permitted when an associate provider, such as a physician assis- tant or nurse practitioner, is al- ready on site at the rural emergency room. Often, small rural hospitals are not prepared to deal with complex patients and will sometimes need to transfer patients to larger, spe- cialized hospitals. Immediate ac- cess to a physician that specializes in emergency medicine via tele- health can help the rural hospital determine whether a transfer is necessary. This ensures that pre- cious time is not lost waiting for the on-call physician to arrive. It also benefits the hospital ensuring that, when appropriate, the patient can remain at their local hospital to receive care. This allows the small rural hospital to be reimbursed for services, making it easier for these safety-net hospitals to keep their doors open. As a member of the Senate Rural Health Caucus, I understand the importance of access to fast, re- liable emergency medicine in rural hospitals and will continue to sup- port initiatives, such as this, that will strengthen our rural health care infrastructure. In a rural state like South Dakota where access to specialized medical care can be hours away, residents depend on critical access hospitals to help meet their health care needs. However, an increasing number of rural hospitals are find- ing it difficult to recruit physicians to these under-served areas of the country. For small hospitals with only a few physicians, current fed- eral laws and regulations require regular on-call shifts that prevent a physician from leaving town. This is a lifestyle that many younger doctors are not interested in pursuing when urban settings can offer more flexible career op- tions. Federal regulations for some rural hospitals currently require a physician to be on-call and able to arrive to the emergency depart- ment within 30 minutes, even if an associate provider, such as a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, is already covering the emergency department. For physicians in small hospitals who see patients all day and then must be on call at night, this creates a 24/7 work en- vironment that can be unattractive to physicians and unnecessarily drives up the costs of health care. However, by utilizing technology that is already available in hospi- tals across South Dakota and the country, there is a solution that both improves emergency care and creates a work environment that can make it easier to recruit physi- cians to rural areas. I recently in- troduced the bipartisan Strengthening Rural Access to Improving Emergency Health Services in Rural Areas By Senator John Thune This week President Obama de- livered what is often seen as the most important speech of the year. The State of the Union is delivered to all three branches of assembled government and to millions of Americans at home throughout the country. It is an opportunity to re- flect, to cast a vision for the upcom- ing year and to set a course for the future of the country. I came away from the State of the Union disappointed in the tone and substance of the Presidents re- marks and hearing the words of Abraham Lincoln echo through my mind. As portrayed in the recent movie Lincoln, the embattled president comments about know- ing True North. He says that a compass may point True North, but what good is it if it cant tell you about the swamps and obstacles along the way? In other words, its one thing to know where youd like to go, its quite another to have the wisdom to understand what it takes to get there. Whether the President knows where he wants to take the country or not, he fails to recognize the ob- stacles that stand directly in our way. He spoke of wanting new pro- grams and greater federal involve- ment in nearly every part of our lives, but barely gave mention of the fact that we have a giant swamp called the national debt blocking our path. Understanding the direction is not enough, we need true leadership to navigate the treacherous and winding road that will lead us there. In a few weeks, across-the-board cuts will begin to take $1.2 trillion out of our national budget. The President says that he wants to find a better way, but has paid no attention to the two pieces of legis- lation that the House has submit- ted to responsibly cut spending. Now, after wandering through the partisan forest, the President and Senate Majority leader are at- tempting, at the last minute, to offer a map that not only tramples any progress weve made, but smashes the compass in the process. Thats not leadership, thats politics. In order to move ahead in a re- sponsible manner, the President must live up to his words in the State of the Union speech to set party interests aside. I, and my colleagues in the House, are ready to once again take up the issue and work to find common ground. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, You cannot escape the responsibil- ity of tomorrow by evading it today. I hope you reach out to my office and share your thoughts with me. I would love to hear from you.

Brent Peters WBackhoe WTrenching WDirectional Boring WTire Tanks Located in Kadoka, SD About a dozen people enjoyed a visit with author C. M. Wendelboe at the Jackson County Library on Tuesday, Feb. 12. Mr. Wendelboe is from Wyoming, but originally lived in Mitchell. He is a former Viet Nam/Marine veteran and was a law enforcement officer for 38 years in several South Dakota towns bordering Indian reserva- tions. His books are mysteries in- volving stories on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and the Badlands. He has written Spirit Road and Death Where the Bad Rocks Live' and the third in the series will be out in June Death on the Greasy Grass. He and his wife stayed in Kadoka Tuesday night and had a stop in Wall the next day before re- turning home to Wyoming. Friends of Michael Murray, 66, of Black Hawk were saddened to hear of his death on February 10 as a result of a stroke. Mike was the son of the late Helen and Chet Murray who lived in Kadoka for many years. He spent most of his childhood here before the Murrays moved to Winner where he gradu- ated in 1965. His burial took place on Friday, Feb. 15. Sydne Lenox visited with Pat Willard in Philip on Sunday. Pat is planning to move from the Senechel Apartments to the Silver Leaf Assisted Living Complex in Philip before too long. She said to tell her friends that she is still kicking, but not too high. Holly Plaggemeyer spent the Presidents Day weekend in Kadoka with her family, Venessa and Jim Plaggemeyer and Matt, Teresa and son. She returned to her studies at South Dakota State University on Monday. Larry Miller and Wanda Swan drove to Springview, NE, on Satur- day where they attended a 100th birthday party for Blanche McCoy. Blanche is Larrys aunt and Wandas sister-in-laws sister. Wanda had lunch at the home of her brother-in-law and wife, Buss and Shirley Swan, before going to the birthday celebration. Also at- tending were Lila Whidby of Kadoka and her sister, Lois Lurz, and Lois daughter, Barbara, of Hot Springs. Robyn Jones went to Valentine on Friday evening to visit her par- ents, Ray and Florence Osburn, brother, Danny Osburn and nephews, Trey and Trent Osburn. On Saturday she took her father and her aunt, Hazel Brown, to Cairo, NE, where they spent the day visiting her uncle, Dick Os- burn, and family. Lynda Vigus of Freeman under- went emergency gall bladder sur- gery on Tuesday, Feb. 12. She is the daughter of Butch Parkinson and a call to her said she was dismissed just a few hours after the surgery and she is sore but doing fine. Her friends in the area will be happy to hear that she is getting along great with her prosthetic leg since her amputation in November of 2011. The Kadoka School alumni com- mittee will be sending cards out in a few weeks and are hoping if any of the readers know of address changes in the past year, please let the committee know. Address changes can be given to Nona Prang, Sydne Lenox or Thesa Ire- land. Jeff Willert is participating in the San Antonio Rodeo which is being held February 7-23. He rode in the fifth group 1st round score of 80 put him in second place with a check of $1,474; 2nd round score of 74 was fourth place and a check of $491. He will ride on Monday, Feb. 18 for his third round and then with enough money winnings will go on for more saddle bronc rides. Next weeks news will have final results, or they can be seen on the San Antonio Rodeo web site. It is a big rodeo with lots of competi- tion and money to be won. Increase Your Fruit & Vegetable Consumption: Drink Smoothies Smoothies (also known as smoothees) are popular as healthy snacks, a mini-meal or as a dessert. Smoothies similar to our present day smoothies have been around since the late 1930s when the blender was introduced. Con- sumers were fascinated with blending foods, including fruits and vegetables. It was during this time that recipes for smoothies evolved and the word smoothie was used to describe a drink. The first smoothies were simply fruit, fruit juice and ice. They werent overly popular until the natural food craze of the 1960s and 1970s. Health food stores were established during these decades, often selling blended fruit drinks. Smoothies are now widely available at smoothie bars, restau- rants, juice bars, health food stores and pre-bottled in grocery stores. Smoothies are known for their milkshake-like consistency. The thicker consistency is obtained by blending in cubed or pureed frozen fruit. Vegetables that are high in fiber and water content are good choices for smoothies. To lower the fat and calorie content of smooth- ies, use skim or soy milk, instead of whole milk and unsweetened fruit, instead of canned or sweet- ened frozen fruit. If you choose to use fresh fruit, use fruit at its peak of ripeness to obtain the greatest amount of natural sweetness. If fruit is less than peak ripeness, add up to one teaspoon of sweet- ener (sugar or honey) or the equiv- alent of a no-calorie sweetener. Smoothies are quick and easy to prepare at home. Common ingredi- ents in smoothies can include fruit, juice, yogurt and ice. But almost anything can be made into a smoothie. Some smoothies are pre- pared with spinach or carrots to add extra nutrients. Sometimes supplemental powders are added to smoothies to enhance certain health qualities of the drinks, in- cluding weight loss, protein and multivitamin supplements. Do you want to make a smoothie? Heres an easy Fruit Smoothie recipe that serves 4 (1- cup) servings and takes only 5 minutes to make. Pour 2 cups of skim or 1% low-fat milk into a blender. Add 3 cups of frozen strawberries, 1 large banana and 1 cup low-fat yogurt. Blend until smooth about 30-45 seconds.

Ann Schwader, Nutrition Field Specialist SDSU Extension-Winner Regional Extension Center Many states tax the sales of goods. A few also tax services. South Dakota has a broad-based, four percent sales tax on nearly all goods and services. Because past legislators and governors have maintained the broadness of the tax, it is a steady, reliable source of revenue, even in times of economic distress. Broadening this tax base helped Gov. Janklow cut property taxes 30 percent. Taxing the sales of a broad array of goods and services also helps our state avoid an income tax. However, an ever-present temp- tation exists to ask for exceptions. Interest groups come to Pierre each year to argue for a tax exemption on their particular goods or serv- ices. They are supported by their lobbyists and members. These exemptions do not have policy goals, other than relieving a particular group from paying sales tax. They are not designed to at- tract new economic activity or help create jobs. Some interest groups have better arguments than others, but one fact is always true: Each time an exemption is created, it benefits a narrow group at the ex- pense of all other South Dakota taxpayers. Even if some exemptions are small, the principle of a broad- based tax is violated. Each time an exemption is carved out, there is less revenue for priorities like education, health- care, or economic development. For each exemption, we send a mes- sage to the next interest group that they also should try to avoid paying sales tax. I vetoed legislation last year that would have exempted the sales tax on hay for livestock bed- ding. Several exemptions have been proposed this year, including certain coaching services, some rodeo admissions, and sales of used truck tires. Certainly these are very small exemptions, proposed by groups for whom I have empathy. Still, I must oppose the erosion of our broad sales tax base through repeated, minor exemptions that ignore our overarching policy goals. I truly believe that we should strive for more TAXPAYERS, not more TAXES or higher rates. Spreading the burden among many makes each one's burden lighter. We should not continue to chip away at our steady, broad tax base. Its easy to agree with each group and make an exception "just this once." But we must be vigilant against it. Voters, taxpayers and the public in general dont have an associa- tion, interest group or lobbyists. As your Governor, I believe its my re- sponsibility to speak for the people. Its my job to work on behalf of the unorganized many against the in- terests of the organized few. Let's keep our tax rates low by asking everyone to share in the responsi- bility to pay.

They were within three points at one time, but turnovers and fouls lengthened the Warrior's lead. Bennet County was 10/18 from the line in the fourth quarter to Kadoka's 4/7. Bennett County pulled away at the end and de- feated the Kougars 54-43. Marti Herber led scoring with 10 points, followed by Shaley Herber and Tessa Stout with 8. Katie Lenseg- rav and Raven Jorgensen added 6 points each, Kwincy Ferguson 4, and Tori Letellier 1. The Kougars were 7/17 from the line and ended the game with 21 fouls. District 13 Tournament started Monday, Feb. 18, at Kadoka. Lyman and Crazy Horse played in the first round game. The winner of that game played Jones County in the first game on Tuesday, Feb. 19.

Kadoka 22 44 51 57 Dupree 11 26 32 51 The Kadoka Lady Kougars trav- elled to Dupree Tuesday, Feb. 12 to take on the Lady Tigers. The Kougars hit the floor run- ning, playing tough defense, at- tacking the basket, which resulted in 22 first quarter points. Kwincy Ferguson made 8 points off of steals, Taylor Merchen hit a three pointer and a bucket, Marti Herber a three pointer and a free throw and Tessa Stout a three pointer. Raven Jorgensen also added a bucket. Kadoka continued the pressure going into the second quarter. They kept attacking the basket, fronting and back side helping against Dupree's big girls, ane making good choices on the floor. Kwincy, Tessa and Raven added 4 points each, Marti and Taylor each hit an- other three pointer as well as a free throw for Marti. Shaley Herber hit both her free throws and Katie Lensegrav added one. The Kougars headed to the locker room at half time with an 18 point lead. The Kougars and Tigers had a sluggish third quarter. There was not as much shooting as in the first half and the intensity wasn't as strong as the first half. Kwincy made a basket and a free throw and Marti and Raven each scored two. The Tigers only made six points in the third quarter and they came from one player. The Kougars still couldn't pick up the pace in the fourth quarter. They pretty much held thier own, while the Tigers slowly began to catch up. Dupree was able to hit their big girl under the basket a few times, as well as hitting a cou- ple three pointers. They closed the gap to within three points, but the Kougars were able to hold them off for the win. Kwincy led scoring with 15 points, followed by Raven with 12. Marti scored 10 points, Taylor 8, Tessa 7, Tori Letellier and Shaley 2 and Katie 1. The Kougars were 8/15 from the line and ended the game with 12 fouls.

The Kougars came off a win a couple nights before, so they were ready to finish their regular season on a high note. Both teams came out strong, pressing each other on defense. Bennett County hit two 3's in the first quarter to give them a 13-9 lead after the first. Marti Herber, Katie Lensegrav and Raven Jor- gensen each made a basket and Shaley Herber a basket and a free throw. The second quarter had them playing the same. The girls worked hard to keep the ball from Bennett County's post girls, but they could- n't keep up all the time. Marti and Raven added 4 points, Katie 2, and Tori Letellier a free throw. Bennett County was up 27-20 going into half time. The Kougars were hoping to come out playing stronger the sec- ond half, but instead, played even with Bennett County; each team scoring 11 points.

Head coach Matt Donnelly was pleased for the team and the indi- viduals as they wrestled well at the tourney. The team took 10 kids and placed nine. Four open slots in the 126, 132, 138, and 145 weight classes were not good for the team though, he said. Injuries and ill- ness were the main reasons for the openings. Team standings following the February 16 tournament were Philip Area (181.5), Bennett County (118.5), Stanley County (112), Hot Springs (106.5), Potter County (99), Custer (79.5), Lem- mon/McIntosh (64), Mobridge-Pol- lock (61), Hill City (56), Newell (50), Sully Buttes (39), Harding County (33), St. Thomas More (19), Red Cloud (14). 106 lbs: Jed Brown 4th, 30-11 record Bye Pinned Stone Durham (STM), 2:25 Decisioned by Dirk Wolf (L/M) 12-14 Pinned Kalel Worisheck (HC) 1:42 Decisioned by Daniel Slama (SC) 5-8 113 lbs: Rance Johnson, 1st, 23-9 record Major dec.

De- Vries, Donnelly noted, is at the light end of the heavy weight divi- sion and is just an eighth grader wrestling older, heavier opponents. Up next for the Badlands Brawlers is the State B tourna- ment in Aberdeen, Febraury 22 and 23. Donnelly is excited about Philips prospects at the tourna- ment, but noted it will be tough. Anyone can beat anyone, he said. They are there for a reason. State team rankings heading into State B are Parkston (144), Canton (100), Wagner (98), Howard (90), Beresford (88), Tri-Valley (87), Philip (77), Flandreau (72.5), Bon Homme (71) and Webster (70). Individual rankings have Brown in sixth, Johnson ninth, Donnelly eighth, Blasius second, Sudbeck third, Stout sixth, Knutson fifth and Ammons eighth. Crop & Livestock Workshop Just a reminder of the Crop and Livestock Workshop at the Jones County Courthouse in Murdo, be- ginning at 1:00 p.m., Friday, March 1, 2013. In addition to the topics mentioned in last weeks col- umn, plans are to also address management strategies to deal with cropland that has been dam- aged by fire. Call Bob Fanning at 842-1267 for more information. Fungicide Seed Treatments for Spring Wheat Fungicide seed treatments are used when planting many agricul- tural crops and are helpful in pro- moting stand establishment and seedling vigor. Seed treatments also help preserve yield potential and prevent quality losses in grain by preventing certain seed and soil-borne diseases. There are many pathogens found in the soil which cause seedling diseases and contribute to the root/crown rot complex in wheat. The root/crown rot complex can include one or more of the dis- eases, Common Root Rot, Fusar- ium Root Rot, Take-All, Rhizoctonia Root Rot, and Pythium Root Rot. These pathogens are always present in the soil at some level, waiting to take advantage of slow germina- tion, slow early development, and unfavorable environment for wheat seedlings. These pathogens have similar symptoms and can cause poor overall health and vigor of the plant. These diseases often result in thin, uneven stands, spindly stalks, small spikes, empty/white heads, stunted plants, weak early growth, yellow- ing of foliage, and reduced yield and quality. The primary recommendation to avoid the effects of the root/crown rot complex is a diverse crop rotation which includes one or more broadleaf crops. The proper choice of fungicide seed treatments can also help protect the young seedlings and get them off to a good start. Loose Smut and Common Bunt (also known as stinking smut) ap- pear in some wheat fields every year. These are two pathogens for which proper fungicide seed treat- ments are very effective. It is strongly believed that Loose Smut and Common Bunt could be virtu- ally eliminated if all wheat produc- ers used recommended seed treatments. In general, seed treatments: aid in managing the biotic stresses, are effective only days to weeks (al- though new chemistry is promis- ing longer periods of protection), are used as the principal insurance against pests, and help the seed and seedlings make it to the stage when they can make their own en- ergy (get the seed up and out of the ground). Utilizing a seed treatment builds the foundation for a healthy plant. Healthy roots are the first step to building the yield potential you desire. Without that strong base, your yield potential is lim- ited from the start and all other in- puts become less valuable. Healthy seedling development pro- motes good stands and greater yield potential. Seed treatment has been and continues to be a very economic and effective disease management tool in South Dakota wheat pro- duction.

He has really improved throughout the season. Raven Jorgensen Girls Basketball Raven played good defense during the Dupree and Bennett County games. Dupree had a couple big post girls and Raven did a good job fronting them and denying them the ball. She also did a good job against Bennett County's post girls. It's alot of work playing under the basket. Raven did a nice job for us. Keep up the hard work.

Board Members present were Allen Grimes and Sue Leach. Kelly For- tune was absent. Also present were Chris Haines from SPN, Lance Eberly, Ron Twiss and Linda Livermont. Minutes for the 10/10 regular meeting were approved as read. OLD BUSINESS: Chris gave an update on the lagoon project. Pay Request #3 has been sent out. The next pay request will include a change order for the extra fence and mobilization for $982.73 and an additional day added to purchase fence supplies. A pump test was done today. There is a chain left to install, but other than that, the project is substan- tially complete. The final contract date and final completion date will be the same. Today will be used as the date of substantial completion. There is a pick list of 5 items in the pump controls, but that is all. Motion by Sue to approve pay request #3, seconded by Allen. Motion passed. Copies of Pay Request #3 will be sent to CSDED, SPN and RCS, with one copy for the town. Ron asked about grass seeding on the rodeo club grounds. Chris stated that western wheat grass will be used with a cover crop of winter wheat. It will be drilled with mulch on top. If there are problems with the grass not coming up in the spring, it is warrantied. Resolution 12-01 to approve the surveyors certificate for the land where the lagoon is was read. Motion by Allen to approve the Resolution, sec- onded by Sue. Motion passed. Linda will get a deed from Dan VanGorp for the land we are exchanging to Perry and will get the plat signed. A-1 sewer used a camera to look at the sewer line from Woodenknifes to Myers and found it in bad shape. It could be lined to fix it, they will send an estimate. They said it would be approximately 25% of the cost of replacing the line with new sewer line. The rest of the sewer lines are in good shape for now. Wood- enKnife's sewer line has settled and will need dug up, it was approved to have it fixed when Charlie does the dirt work for the fire hall. We still need 6 culverts (18 x 20) and 3 bands and bolts to replace culverts in town. Allen will call the County. We could have them installed while Char- lie has his backhoe in town. NEW BUSINESS: The Fire Department has accepted the towns offer to pur- chase the old fire hall and garage for $20,000. Motion by Sue to approve pur- chasing the fire hall and garage for $20,000, seconded by Allen. Kelly had expressed opposition to the purchase. Motion passed with a vote of 2 for and 1 against. The sander has been installed on the pickup and works well. It was agreed to pay for the water line installa- tion on the new Fire Hall and to pay the monthly water charge as in the past. Line installation will cost around $2,900. Linda will look into terminating the 99 year lease once the Fire Department moves to its new building.

Check your tree belts for those needed replace- ments which will help to provide a much more effective barrier in the protection of your livestock, fields and home. It is also a good time to check your weed barrier fabric to assure that the fabric is not up against your tree trunks therefore, possibly causing girdling of the tree which will result in the death of the tree. There is also still time to place an order, whether it be for urban or rural use. 52nd Annual Resource Conservation Speech Contest $2,300 in scholarships available to any high school student in South Dakota.

JC Conservation District Mayola Horst, District Manager A series of forums which began in mid-January across the state hosted by the South Dakota De- partment of Agriculture (SDDA) and SDSU Extension will continue thru March 21. The remaining 18 sessions will be held at area live- stock markets statewide to discuss South Dakota's vision for livestock production. "Agriculture is South Dakota's No. 1 industry, with the total eco- nomic impact of the ag sector of $21 Billion in 2010. Livestock is a major contributor to the agricul- tural economy with the total value of livestock alone being $3 billion. Revenue generated from livestock and jobs that are created in pro- cessing and manufacturing of the livestock industry impact the over- all infrastructure and the economic health of the state," said B. Lynn Gordon, Cow/Calf Extension Field Specialist. Gordon adds that South Dakota is fortunate to have access to the resources needed for livestock pro- duction, such as access to land, water and feed resources as well as progressive, entrepreneurial people interested in raising and develop- ing livestock. "By combining these resources along with relevant research from the land grant University of SDSU, South Dakota has the ability to produce food for demands of the do- mestic and international markets," Gordon said. Agricultural producers are in- vited to attend these forums to join SDDA and SDSU Extension in a conversation about the opportuni- ties and challenges in livestock pro- duction and the impact of agriculture to rural communities and statewide revenues and infra- structure. These meetings will allow a dialogue about the next generation of farmers and ranch- ers. Remaining sessions and their lo- cations are: Feb. 25 - Platte Livestock Mar. 5 - Mitchell Livestock Mar. 11 - Belle Fourche Livestock Mar. 12 - St. Onge Livestock Mar. 13 - Faith Livestock Mar. 14 - Lemmon Livestock Mar. 18 - Miller Livestock Mar. 19 - Presho Livestock Mar. 20 - Winner Livestock Mar. 21 - Chamberlin Livestock All sessions will take place at 6:30 p.m. local time. For more information contact Sarah Caslin, SDDA Livestock De- velopment Specialist at 605-773- 3549; sarah.caslin@state.sd.us or B. Lynn Gordon, Cow/Calf Exten- sion Field Specialist at 605-782- 3290, lynn.gordon@sdstate.edu. Next generation of livestock production forums to continue through March
