MURDO A PUBLICATION OF RAVELLETTE PUBLICATIONS, INC. $1.00 $1.00 Includes tax Number 23 Volume 107 June 6, 2013 Local 4-H participates in Jones County Youth in Action Day The Jones County Youth In Action Day was held at the Parish Tech Center in Murdo, SD on May 31, 2013. Fourteen 4-Hers talked their way through public presentations including Demonstrations, Public Speaking and Illustrated Talks. Demonstrations allow the presen- ter to show an accurate step-by- step process of actions that result in a finished product. Receiving ribbons in this cate- gory were Sr. Kathlene Boyle with a blue ribbon demonstration on How to Make Slush. Receiving a Top Purple ribbon in the Jr. divi- sion was Austin Olson with Mak- ing Your Own Sports Drinks. In the Beginner division, Wyatt Olson received the Top Purple award for Loom Bead. Other Purple ribbon beginners were Mesa Roghair for a demonstration on How to Make Kool Aid and Seth Schoon of Mellette County for his demonstration on How to Gather, Clean and Sort Eggs. Blue ribbon winners were Dylan Fuoss who showed us how to make a Wood Picture, Madelyn Host for her demonstration on Glow in the Dark Fairies, and Annalee Roghairs demonstration on Smoothies. Illustrated Talks show how something is accomplished using a combination of speaking about the subject and using visual aids. Jr. Jacob Birkeland explained 4-H Archery Divisions to the audience and received a Top Purple ribbon for his effort while Matthew Birke- land illustrated The Parts of a Bow and earned a Top Purple in the Beginner Division. 4-Hers entering the Public Speaking Contest were Jr. Molly Dowling with an oral history of Johnny Cash. For her efforts she received the Top Purple award. Jr. Jake Dowling was awarded a pur- ple ribbon for his speech and power-point about Tasmanian Devils and Beginner Ty Fuoss, dressing the part, told about James Scotty Philip and how he saved the buffalo which earned Ty a blue ribbon. Throughout the day, a Con- sumer Decision Making contest was held in which youth were asked to rank possible purchases and be able to give reasons as to why they placed their purchases the way they did. The classes judged were Flash Drives, Laun- dry Detergent, Toothpaste, Sav- ings Accounts and Digital Cam- eras. The results of this contest will be available in an upcoming paper. Following a short lunch break, 4-Hers fired up their ovens, stoves and grills for the Iron Chef Compe- tition. Sr. Kathlene Boyle made Streamlined Chimichangas. Those in the Jr. 4-H division were Jacob Birkeland who grilled Steak Kabobs, Morgan Feddersen who made Crescent BBQ Squares, and Austin Olson who prepared Grandma Sues Porcupine Balls. Beginner 4-H members cooking were Matthew Birkeland with his Lean Hamburger Tacos, Ty Fuoss who baked a Taco Braid, and Wyatt Olson with Uncle Chad's Chip Dip. All seven cooks were presented with blue ribbons for the afternoons work. The Iron Chef Competition allows aspiring chefs 75 minutes to prepare a dish using a special ingredient chosen by the 4-H Par- ents and Leaders Association. The contestants are judged on their knowledge of nutrition, personal grooming, skill in measuring, food preparation technique, taste and eye appeal. The special ingredient used this year was beef and had to be used in each dish prepared. The beef used was purchased with a grant through the South Dakota Beef Council. Watch for more beef promotion at Achievement Days.

Archery tournament provides lifetime memories for family A sixth grade student from Murdo represented South Dakota at the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) Tourna- ment in Louisville, Kentucky. After winning the top award in his division at the South Dakota NASP Tournament, Jacob Birke- land had the honor of representing the state at the national NASP tournament. The national tourna- ment was held on May 10-12. It was an overwhelming expe- rience with all the people there, Birkeland said. I started archery so I could learn how to shoot a bow and go deer hunting and now Im shooting with 10,000 other kids in a national tournament. NASP is sponsored by the Game, Fish and Parks Depart- ment. Game, Fish & Parks congratu- lates Jacob on his outstanding per- formance at the national NASP tournament, Jason Kool, GFP NASP Coordinator, said. Jacob exemplifies the type of young ambassador for our state that everyone can be proud of. When asked about his future in archery, Jacob said I want to con- tinue to participate in state, national and maybe even the world tournament and I still cant wait to go deer hunting! The national tournament was a family affair for the Birkelands. Jacobs mother, father and brother also traveled to Louisville to watch him compete. We made memories to last a lifetime, said Jacobs father, Jeff. It was a great learn- ing experience for the kids and a great little vacation for mom and dad. Jacob competed at the highest level at the Louisville tournament. With approximately 10,000 archers competing in the national event, Jacob finished in the top three percent of all age divisions with a score of 282 out of 300. In the elementary division, Jacob placed 25th and 18th among all sixth graders. More information on NASP can be found on the web at www.nas- parchery.com.

Juanita May Shouldis Med- nansky was born to Charles and Mary A. (Atkins) Shouldis, Decem- ber 12, 1921, in Mellette County. May married Clarence Mednan- sky in Valentine, Neb., September 16, 1940. Three children were born to this union: Audrey (Ed) Bur- nette, Pierre, Rodney (Oleta) Med- nansky and Janice Ellis, White River. From there the family grew to include grandchildren, Angela (David) Aud, Great Mills, Md., Guy (Michele) Burnette, Califor- nia, Md., Sonya (Josh) Feaster, Tucson, Ariz., Justin (Dena) Med- nansky, Richard Mednansky and Duane Mednansky, White River, Chad (Margarita) Ellis, Mexico, and Tricia Shedeed, Otter Tail, Minn.; great-grandchildren, Joey, Brandy, Bailey, Sage, Taylor, Sharissa, Ashton, Logan, Justin, Kade, Alexandra, Michelle, Nathan, Lauren, Kaise, Adam, Matthew, James and Alana; and proud to have Nova Maylynn as her great-great-granddaughter. May barely answered to being called Juanita but loved being called Mom, Grandma, Grandma Great, Aunt or Auntie May. May sometimes spelled with an e, sometimes with a y, just to keep us on our toes. When asked about doing something here lately, her come back would be, Well, Im ONLY 91! She loved her family and friends, going to the grand- kids programs, concerts and games. She loved seeing the sun and moon rise and set, working with the livestock, admiring the birds and flowers and all that nature provided. May was a sweet, hardworking, quiet country girl. She worked side by side with Clarence on the farm/ ranch as well as maintaining the house and preparing the greatest meals. The farm was a vacation spot to many nieces and nephews growing up and later to her grand- children. Moving from home to town was a big adjustment for both May and Clarence. After moving to town, she enjoyed bird watching and neigh- bor watching! She knew what every bird was and what every neighbor was doing. She was look- ing forward to sitting on her new deck this summer and had plans for flowers she would be able to enjoy as she soaked up the sun- shine. May loved playing canasta, solitaire, embroidering and cro- cheting. May embroidered towels that are raffled off at the Mednan- sky family reunion and has them ready for this year! May was an active and proud member of the Cottonwood Ladies Aide and so enjoyed her monthly outing. She often took a quarter rather than a dime for lunch the big spender she was! May came home full of news and reported on what lunch consisted of and, of course, wasn't really hungry for supper that night. May fought a courageous battle but was overcome by kidney and congestive heart failure. She was one tough, brave woman to the end! May was preceded in death by her husband, Clarence, her par- ents and her brothers and sisters, as well as many special Shouldis and Mednansky in-laws. Services were held Tuesday, June 4, at the White River Com- munity Events Center with Pastor Craig Marshall officiating. Music was provided by Linda Blom with special music by great- grandson, Sage Mednansky. Guest book attendants were Barb Susie Ketel and Michelle Whitted. Ushers were Charles Pete Shouldis and Bill Sinclair. Pallbearers were Justin, Richard and Duane Mednansky, Bruce Boyd, Kevin Kusick and Dale Bobby Wooden Knife. Honorary pallbearers were the Cottonwood Ladies Aide members and all of Mays family and friends. Interment was in the White River Cemetery. A memorial has been estab- lished. Arrangements were with the Rush Funeral Home of Philip. Her online guestbook is avail- able at www.rushfuneralhome.com May Mednansky________________________________ Obituary West Side News coyoteads@gwtc.net Henry and Elaine Roghair, Mel and Clarice Roghair and Jessie Lynn all drove to Midland Sunday evening to hear Larry and Gloria Lundstrom in concert at the city park. The music was great, the message inspiring and the humor fun. Old timers will remember when the Lundstroms performed as a big family around the coun- try. We were sad to learn that Lowell and Connie Lundstrom are deceased, but rejoice that they are now part of heavens band.

Imitators by Pastor John Fredericksen A few weeks ago, when our grandson was about 27 months old, we noticed him doing something incredibly cute. He had put on his daddys flip-flops (a size 12) and was proudly walking around the room with a big smile on his face. He has become a great, natural imitator of what he hears us say and sees us doing. This got me to thinking that even we adults usually imitate someone. Once Israel was in their promised land, the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us; that we also may be like all the nations (I Sam. 8:19-20). This was an unwise decision on the part of Israel. God had been governing them through a series of judges who represented the Lord. These judges certainly were not perfect, but this had been Gods design. Jehovahs response to their virtual demand to Samuel to give them a king was, they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them (I Sam. 8:7). This pattern of imitating the world later worsened. They rejected His [the Lords] statutes, and His covenantand became vain, and went after the hea- then that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them (II Kings 17:15). Throughout the Old Testament, Gods people frequently became too close and familiar with the lost people around them. In the case of Lot, he first pitched his tent toward Sodom but before long he was living within the city and had completely lost his testimony. In other instances, Israel made treaties with the heathen nations, began to intermarry with them, and in short order began to worship their false gods. They were imitating the wrong things and the wrong people. This same danger is still entrapping many believers in our day. Far too often, we are unduly influenced by the way the lost in our society talk, dress, think, and by what they embrace as acceptable, even when these things are clearly displeasing to the Lord. We believers are too often caught in the trap of being overly occupied with sports, recreation, leisure time, and hobbies to the neglect of spiritual things and the Lords local work. The Lord has something far better in mind for us, and someone far better to imitate. The Lord tells us in Romans 12:2: Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. As believers, our lives are to be so transformed that there is a marked difference between us and the unsaved. Our standard ought not to be what the world is doing, or what the latest fad dictates. Our standard should be what would please and honor the Lord. There is no virtue in being weird, strange, or odd. These things do not enhance our testimony or effectiveness as a representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. Nonethe- less, we believers should be different from the world in many ways. Believers do have someone they should be imitating. We should mark them [godly believers] which walk so as ye have us for an ensample (Phil. 3:17). Godly, knowledgeable Christians who followed Paul as he followed Christ and are fervent in their walk with Christ are the ones we should imitate.

For God so LOVED the world that He gave His One and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Mary's mother was called over to a sick neighbor. Since her mother was not through washing dishes, Mary decided to finish the dishes as a surprise. May did not know exactly how it happened, but crash went one of her mother's best dish- es! By the time, Mary finished the dishes, she had decided that she would not say anything to her mother. Maybe mother won't notice! she thought. The rest of the day, Mary did not feel like eating. She did not enjoy playing with her friends. At night she could not sleep. Finally she went downstairs to her mother who was doing dishes, and she cried as though her heart would break. Her mother let her cry. Her loving mother was waiting for one thing --- for her daughter to tell the truth. Mother, I can't sleep, sobbed Mary. I have to tell you something. Today when I washed the dishes, I broke a plate from the good set. Will you forgive me? How glad Mary's mother was as she hugged her little girl! Of course, I will, she said. You're a brave little girl to come to tell me. It wasn't easy to tell mother you had broken the plate. But now, how good we both feel that you came and told me. Next time come right away. When you tell mother you're sorry and ask for forgiveness, everything is right again. Now let us go to God for His forgiveness too, and then you can go to bed and sleep well. It is like that at church...we sin during the week, we come to church to confess our sins and have our sins forgiven. Mary's heart was glad when her mom forgave her after she con- fessed her sin. God too forgives us when we come to Him and confess our sins,,,and it is also something we should do..when we sin against people. We should go to them and ask for forgiveness...and prayerful- ly they will forgive us. And then when we come up to the LORD'S Table and eat and drink His Body and Blood for the forgive- ness of our sins...how happy we should be that we are forgiven. Many times I have heard people say why is the Pastor so happy doing communion....and I will tell them it is for forgiveness of sins and we should be happy that God has forgiven us and we should rejoice....and as we leave the LORD'S Table we should be smil- ing and rejoice in what a loving God and Savior that we have... For God so LOVED the world that He have His One and only Son that whoever believes in Him has eternal life. And that indeed is something to rejoice about. We pray...Dear Father, how often we have sinned. Help us to truly confess our sins to you and to our neighbor that we have sinned against, and enable to be truly happy, be rejoiceful in the forgive- ness that comes through Jesus Christ our Savior.

We do not currently have a haz- ard mitigation plan, which by def- inition is a plan to lessen or elimi- nate the effects of disasters on peo- ple and property. Our County has entered into agreement with Northern Tier Consulting LLC to develop a Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan that will work with County and City Governments, the Jones County School, Businesses, Churches and Citizens to complete all aspects of hazard identifica- tion. The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is a comprehensive resource document that serves many pur- poses, including: enhancing public awareness and understanding, creating a decision tool for man- agement, promoting compliance with State and Federal program requirements, enhancing local policies for hazard mitigation capability, and providing inter- jurisdictional coordination. The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires all local govern- ments to create such a disaster plan in order to qualify for funding in the future. If you have questions, please contact the Jones County Office of Emergency Management at 669- 7101. At the Murdo Coyote there is no charge for obituaries, engagements or wedding announcements!

Although win- ter wheat is a tough crop and known for surprising growers and agronomists with its resilience, there are times when abandoning fields are justified. In the spring of 2013 there was a great deal of lost sleep over the decisions to keep winter wheat fields, destroy them and plant another crop, or interseed a forage crop to add to the volume of live- stock feed hoped for at harvest. In the end, there were many cases of all three decisions arrived at. Many of the decisions were heavi- ly influenced by crop insurance adjustments, which provided options. There is still uncertainty as to how the fields remaining intact will turn out at harvest, but the recent moisture has produced dra- matic improvement in their appearance and condition. At the time many fields were adjusted, the main concerns were plant den- sity, the uncertainty as to whether the plants vernalized, and the lateness of development. Plant density is very closely related to yield, and being some- what compensated for as cool, moist conditions have promoted tillering. Tillering cannot compen- sate for large areas with no plants, but the worst of those fields were the ones abandoned. Even the win- ter wheat that didnt germinate or emerge until spring is now begin- ning to joint in south-central South Dakota, which would not occur if it didnt vernalize. There may be plants that did not vernal- ize, which should be easy to see in the near future, if not already as they will not elongate and produce nodes or heads. The remaining concern is the lateness of develop- ment and maturity. Yields and test weight will depend heavily on tem- peratures and soil moisture as the crop is flowering and completing grain fill. Scouting and properly managing weeds, insects and dis- eases according to IPM principles will be an important factor that growers have some control over.

ANNUALLY PLANTED FOR- AGE CROPS WILL NOT BE COVERED BY NAP FOR 2014 RMA has added a new Annual Forage policy called the Rainfall Index Annual Forage plan of insurance. This offers protection at the CAT level for annually planted crops used for feed or fod- der under the Rainfall and Vegeta- tion Index Plan of Insurance Basic Provisions, and will be available for the 2014 crop year sales for producers in SD, as well as KS, NE, ND, OK, and TX. Crops that will be affected are all small grains for haying and grazing (ie: wheat, oats, hay mil- let, triticale) and any annually planted forage intended for haying or grazing such as sweet sorghum/cane, oats/peas, peas, etc. Since RMA is offering CAT level coverage for crops grown under this policy for 2014, NAP coverage will NOT be available in these states. Deadlines for coverage for these crops for the 2014 crop year are as follows: July 15, 2013 final date to insure fall seeded crops. December 15, 2013 final date to insure spring seeded crops. Unfortunately, your NAP con- tinuous coverage letter for 2014 Jones County FSA News David Klingberg gardeners when I was young. Grandma was very good at it, and Mom was okay although I dont think she enjoyed it much. I helped with some of the weeding and the picking of such things as peas, beans and cucumbers. After a while, I became the main gar- dener in the family except for corn and potatoes which were Dads favorites. My main problem at first was getting carried away and planting such a huge garden that I couldnt properly tend it all. Sometimes it also produced more stuff than we needed or could freeze, can, or give away. When those nifty seed catalogs come in the dead of winter, it looks so easy, and you decide youd like to try this, and that and some of those. The first rule of gardening, then, is to avoid getting carried away. Only plant what you have the time and energy to tend and not more than you can reasonably use. I came to that conclusion the hard way and only through expe- rience. When it comes to watering, I did come up with a system that worked pretty well for me. I would drag out the old two-row corn lis- ter and hitch it to the little Ford tractor. I made deep lister rows going slightly downhill, and plant- ed in the bottom of the rows. Then I could run water down the rows instead of sprinkling the whole garden. This worked best if I used some mulch as well to keep the water from evaporating right away in the hot days of July. My main problem here was my father who had learned in planting field corn in the early years that corn should be hilled up. If he got in the garden, he tended to not only fill in my lister rows but hill them up as well. This made watering extremely difficult because water runs off hills and doesnt do the plants there much good. As a result, I encouraged Dad to raise his corn and potatoes in a differ- ent place than I gardened so he wouldnt start hilling all my stuff. Then, after experimenting with everything from huckleberries to kohlrabies, it finally occurred to me that what I most needed to grow were those things that taste much better home raised than purchased. Tomatoes and cucum- bers, as you probably know, are ever so much better home raised. Melons may fit in that category too, but I dont hunger for those as much as I do for tomatoes and cucumbers. On the other hand, my taste buds are not sufficiently sophisticated to tell much differ- ence between onions and potatoes raised or purchased. There is one exception to that in those little early potatoes you scratch around and pull out before theyre com- pletely mature. Those are tasty. One other rule I started to follow was to plant nothing that was a complete bug magnet. This espe- cially applies to potatoes and any member of the cabbage family. Dad didnt seem to mind strolling down a row of spuds, picking off the potato bugs, and throwing them in a coffee can he carried that had a little gas in the bottom. I didnt have quite enough patience for that. Cabbage worms are harder to pick off so insecti- cide is the usual recourse there. I dont like insecticides so my cab- bage, broccoli, cauliflower and the like come to me by way of the gro- cery store. They probably have to use insecticide to grow them too, but I just wash them really well when I get them. Well, as often has happened to me in my life, once Ive experi- mented with something to the enth degree and worn myself out with it, I somewhat lose interest and go on to other things. Thats sort of the way it is for me with gardening. As a result, my efforts this year only involve two potted tomato plants and a few pots of cucumbers. They say gardening is good for the soul, so I hope those few plants will sufficiently nour- ish that part of me. If not, I can always expand next year. Even then, however, I probably wont get carried away. I think in this case Im better off following another favorite rule of mine which is, Keep it simple, Stupid. Not a bad idea when it comes to gardening in good old South Dakota where the odds are some- what stacked against us and dis- aster can be just around the cor- ner. Yet we still keep right on try- ing. Why is that? Gardening is an iffy proposition here in western South Dakota. We never have quite enough rain so watering, except in highly unusual years, is required. We also have strong winds, hail, plagues of grasshoppers, hot tem- peratures, and various wild crit- ters that like vegetables. If you do insist on gardening and actually raise something, you have over- come the odds and can be proud of yourself. Like many of you, I rather like to play in the dirt and have done quite a bit of it over the years. I started out helping my mom and grandmother who were the main Lookin Around Syd Iwan Calculating the success of an A.I. program Knowing the difference between conception rate and pregnancy rate has a big impact on cattle pro- ducers bottom line says, Kalyn Waters, SDSU Extension Cow/Calf Field Specialist. When producers sit down to figure out if they will use a straight Time AI (TAI) synchro- nization protocol (for example the 7-day CO-Synch+CIDR) or include heat detection (for example the Select Synch), or to calculate the success of their breeding season at its conclusion, this difference is key, Waters said. Waters says there are three key calculations cattle producers should take into account: synchro- nization rate percent or the per- centage of females detected in estrus compared to the total num- ber of cattle synchronized; concep- tion rate percent or the percentage of pregnant females compared to the number of females inseminat- ed; and pregnancy rate percent or the percentage of pregnant females compared to the total number synchronized. Many people will just look at the overall pregnancy rate, howev- er when evaluating the amount of labor and resources to the number of pregnancies achieved, all factors should be included. Using concep- tion rates as an indicator of the overall success can be misleading. Conception rate does not take into account the number of females that were not inseminated. Waters shares the following example: Herd A, 100 head of cattle were synchronized for breeding using the Select Synch protocol, 50 of them were detected in heat and inseminated, resulting in 70 per- cent of those females becoming pregnant. And, in Herd B, 100 head were also synchronized using the 7-day CO-Synch + CIDR and bred, however this herd was bred with a straight TAI that resulted in 55 percent of the females becoming pregnant. In using Herd A and Herd B as an example, at first look, it seems as though Herd A had the most successful AI breeding season, but often times producers fail to take into account the number of females that are not bred if TAI is not used into their overall evalua- tion, Waters said. She adds that in this case, while Herd A had much higher concep- tion rates, the 50-head that were not inseminated were not taken into account. Thus, taking all factors into account, and evaluating these two herds based on pregnancy rates, which include all females, shows that actually Herd B had greater AI success than Herd A, she said. Waters said taking all three fac- tors into consideration will help producers best manage their breeding season. In addition when choosing an AI protocol for their herd, producers need to consider the females that will not be exposed to AI breeding if TAI is not utilized.

Hoffsten STRESS MANAGEMENT 2 Last weeks column had to do with stress management and some basic considerations. It was noted by a Dr. Herman Witte in his interviews with various patients that certain patterns of speech repeatedly were used by individu- als undergoing stress related counseling. He noted that there was a basic irrational self talk that was it upsets me. It was pointed out that another researcher, Dr. Edward Deci hypothesized that the two basic drivers for human behavior were self determination and self satisfaction with result of the choice the person made. Dr. Witte pointed out that if, it upsets me is something that the person says to themselves, then it is deciding how you will respond. Whenever it occurs you get upset. As such you have lost con- trol of your self determination which is so basic for your healthy behavior. The important recogni- tion to make is that it is not upsetting you. You are upsetting yourself. Once you recognize this, you can choose not to be upset and respond in a different healthier manner. Dr. Witte then listed six more sayings that people used to gener- ate their own stress. The first of these he called general irrational self talk number one. It has varia- tions such as: 1. He should not do that. 2. People should not act that way. 3. This type of thing cannot be tolerated 4. Things must go according to my demands/expectatios. 5. This goes against societies norms Dr. Witte noted that people who had adverse stress responses fre- quently used these quotes both in their spoken language and quietly internally to themselves. He called these quotes demandedness lan- guage. Note the sequence that occurs. Specifically, he shouldnt do that implies that whatever it/that is, something must be done to change it/that. Dr. Witte became interested in why people would say, he shouldnt do that. The justifications that patients responded with included: 1. I dont act that way. 2. Their actions go against soci- eties norms. 3. They never acted this way before. 4. Theyre acting that way upsets me. Note that in response to the jus- tifications offered it should be noted that there are a number of irrationalities: 1. Who appointed me to set the standards of behavior. I have my values and rules but others also have their own values and rules. 2. Not everyone okays societies norms (which society?) 3. Peoples actions may change. 4. Please keep in mind they dont upset you, you upset your- self. Dr. Witte then reviewed with his patients the effects of general irrational self talk number one (they shouldnt do that). Specifical- ly: 1. This self talk generators a fear of failure. If they shouldnt do that, something must be done to change what they have done. But that may not be possi- ble and fear is generated regard- ing what will happen if it cannot be undone. 2. This self talk requires an expenditure of effort to change things that might not be change- able. 3. Often this self talk will gener- ate a need for revenge and retribu- tion. This is an extremely destruc- tive response. 4. A demanding attitude towards others regarding what they should or shouldnt do gener- ates rebellion within the other per- son. Specifically recognize that by you telling them what they should or should not do, you are taking away their self-determination. Dr. Witte then offered construc- tive responses one can use instead of they shouldnt do that. Specif- ically: 1. I wish (would prefer) that people not behave like that. Note the internal response a person has to the use of this saying instead of saying they shouldnt do that. Wishing somebody wouldnt do something is not demanding as stating that they should not do that. 2. It is unfortunate, irritating, inconvenient that this has hap- pened but I can adjust and tolerate the event. 3. Societies rules are desirable and when followed tend to decrease the conflict within the group but there will always be exceptions to the rule and people who break the rules. It is probably more beneficial to me to try to understand and resolve differ- ences, than to be come vengeful and punitive. 4. Life does not owe me, change and undesirable events are inevitable. Dr. Witte generated a list of eight words that have a demandedness connotation. He versed patients on using a second group of eight words that removed the demandedness context. Demand language 1. Must 2. Should 3. Ought to 4. Have to 5. Need to 6. Got to 7. Supposed to 8. Will Hoped for language 1. Want 2. Desire 3. Prefer 4. Wish 5. Like 6. Might/could 7. Hope 8. Would be nice if Note that the second column of words removes the demandedness attitude towards the other person and allows them to meet your hopes if they would choose to. In summary, General Irrational Self Talk number one is about demandedness and how you think to yourself and address others. Normal human behavior is to resist others demands and conflict is generated using this language pattern.

The event consisting of a swap meet, car show, car auction and antique auction, attracts thou- sands every year, and this year was no exception. With an estimat- ed 2,500 in attendance, and even more registered for the newly offered online auction, the entire town gets involved in the excite- ment and festivities. The event this year was held May 10, 11 and 12th. Kicking off the weekend was the swap meet at Pioneer Auto Show in the west lot on Friday. This was a free event that set the fun tone for the weekend, and ran through Sunday, May 12. Crafts were abundant from the entire region including Sioux Falls, Iowa and all of South Dakota. The car show on Main Street was sponsored by the Murdo Chamber of Commerce. There was 50s music for all to hear, and deli- cious food was provided by the Turner Youth Group. All of the cars and tractors made it a great ride. The antique car auction, which took place on Saturday, May 11, was operated by Vanderbrink Auc- tions out of Hardwick, MN. There were approximately 200 on-site bidders registered, along with an additional 157 online registrations for bidding. Some highlight sales of the auction were: 1946 Dodge Truck Restored - $4,000 sold to online bidder 1932 Ford Custom Streetrod - $11,500 sold to onsite bidder 1968 AMC AMX Coupe - $16,000 sold to onsite bidder 1963 R Code Galaxie - $21,000 sold to onsite bidder 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Road- ster - $34,000 sold to onsite bidder Dave Geisler Sr., owner of the Pioneer Auto Museum said, One of the highlights for me was to see the entire community participate and get involved. The event may have originated at Pioneer Auto Show, but over the years it has really become a celebration of the entire town many returning cus- tomers and old friends making good memories. The mega antique and collecta- ble auction on the final day, run by Eckert Auctions of South Dakota, was also quite successful. Hot items this year were collectables of Coca Cola, Hamms Beer, and John Deere. Check out some of Pioneer Autos vintage items from their gift shop at http://www.pioneer- aut oshow. c om/ c ar t / vi nt age- antiques-c-93.html.

Kristi Noem The price of a gallon of gas near my home in rural Hamlin County is well over $4.00. In a state like South Dakota, where families often drive long distances to ball games or into town for church or groceries, rising gas prices can have a significant impact on a familys or businesss bottom line. Our country needs a plan for energy independence that not only works to lower energy costs, but boosts our domestic economy and creates jobs here at home. I contin- ue to support and advocate for an all-of-the-above American energy policy. Through encouraging inno- vation and continuing to support renewable fuels, like ethanol and other biofuels, we can take steps towards a more secure, stable and reliable energy supply. In the House of Representa- tives, we are looking at legislative options to help families and busi- nesses combat the pain at the pump. Recently, the House passed H.R. 3, the Northern Route Approval Act, with bipartisan sup- port. This bill removes the need for a presidential permit and immedi- ately authorizes the construction of the northern route of the Key- stone XL pipeline. Although this is only one small piece of the puzzle, increasing North American energy production and sustaining our domestic refining industry are essential for energy independence. There are numerous reasons why gas prices fluctuate, but bad, ineffective or a lack of federal poli- cies shouldnt be one of them. Im hopeful that Congress will contin- ue to consider legislation that will work to open up more federal land for energy development, which will increase our domestic energy sup- ply and reduce our dependence on unstable sources of oil. Our country is full of untapped resources including natural gas. The Potential Gas Committee recently released the results of its latest assessment of our nations natural gas reserves. Because of innovative new technologies, this years assessment has risen 22.1 percent since 2010, the highest evaluation in the 48-year history of the committee. In the Williston Basin in North Dakota, oil esti- mates have doubled and natural gas resources have tripled. Howev- er, in order to take full advantage of this natural resource, we need to ensure that policies are in place which will eliminate burdensome regulations and unnecessary red tape. The House Energy & Commerce Committee is currently consider- ing the Energy Consumers Relief Act, which would require the Envi- ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) to submit a report to Con- gress detailing costs, energy price, and job impacts before finalizing any energy-related regulation that costs more than $1 billion. While this bill is still in committee, it would provide for greater trans- parency at the EPA and protect consumers from higher energy costs. All options should be on the table to ensure that American fam- ilies are not forced to put even more of their hard-earned dollars toward filling their tanks. I hope youll share your thoughts with me about how we can lower energy costs by contacting one of my offices. Contact information is list- ed below. Doing our part to prevent wildland fires by Sen. John Thune Living in South Dakota, we know that the elements of nature can be our greatest friend and also our gravest enemy. On farms and ranches across the state it is not uncommon to see controlled burns in pastures. In these summer months, many of us enjoy roasting marshmallows and hotdogs over an open campfire, and lighting fireworks around the Fourth of July. Yet it takes just a small increase in the wind from the wrong direction, an extra-dry sea- son, or careless eye on the camp- fire for small fires to spread quick- ly out-of-control. On the western side of the state we have become especially con- cerned about fire season with the spread of the pine beetle epidemic in the Black Hills. Trees infested by pine beetles are especially sus- ceptible to fires, which can move quickly putting life and property in danger. Earlier this year, in an effort to help combat forest fires, I sent a letter to Chief of the U.S. Forest Service, Tom Tidwell, encouraging the agency to consid- er the use of the Air Forces soon- to-be retired C-27J aircraft to fight wildland fires in the Rocky Moun- tain Region. Not only would the aircraft help provide the Forest Service with the tools needed to fight wildland fires, but the opera- tion of these aircraft could also provide multiple benefits to our economy if stationed at Ellsworth Air Force Base. I have also intro- duced legislation to cut red tape and prioritize pine beetle treat- ments within the U.S. Forest Serv- ice. Equipping the brave men and women who fight our wildland fires with the best possible tools is just one important part of fire safety and prevention. Each of us must do our part to ensure that we help preserve and protect some of our countrys greatest national treasures and the lives and per- sonal property of our neighbors. ALL types!

OLD BUSINESS: The ordinance regard- ing trailer homes in the city was reviewed once again and first reading was given to the ordinance.

Game, Fish and Parks file error sends wrong license drawing message Approximately 2,000 applicants for a South Dakota bighorn sheep hunting license were incorrectly notified that they had drawn a license. An incorrect computer file was downloaded resulting in license applicants who provided an e-mail address being notified that they had been drawn for a 2013 Bighorn Sheep license. Before the error was discovered, e-mails were already in the process of being sent. The error was detected about half-way through the notification process and within 30 minutes a corrected e-mail was sent notifying applicants that they had been unsuccessful. There were no errors in the draw process itself and there is no need for a re-drawing. Two licens- es were issued, and they will be contacted by phone confirming their success in the drawing. No unsuccessful applicant was charged the actual license fee. We know the high regard that hunters hold for these licenses, and we apologize for the erroneous notification that was sent, Shon Eide, license office supervisor for the Game, Fish and Parks Depart- ment said. At the same time, we want all applicants to know that this was not a security breach within the license system, Eide added. An incorrect file was downloaded as part of the message process within the secure system. All personal information is safe. Eide said all protocols for e-mail notifications will be examined to safeguard against future errors. Anyone with questions or in need of further assistance may contact the GFP call center at 605-223- 7660.

As a new employee, students fill out a Form W-4, Employees With- holding Allowance Certificate, so their employer withholds the right amount of taxes from regular pay, bonuses, commissions, and vaca- tion allowances. Tips are taxable income so you need to keep a daily log to record them. If you receive $20 or more in tips in any one month from any one job, you must report the total tips to your employer or report the income on your tax return. Self-employment income, from jobs like baby-sitting and lawn mowing, are subject to income tax. If your net earnings from self- employment are $400 or more, you have to pay self-employment tax and file Schedule SE. While students may not earn enough money from summer jobs to owe income tax, they will proba- bly have to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes. Your employer usually withholds these taxes from your paycheck, but if youre self- employed, you may have to pay self-employment taxes. If you had more than one job you should make sure all your employers are withholding an ade- quate amount of taxes to cover your total income tax liability. You can see if your withholding is cor- rect using the Withholding Calcu- lator on IRS.gov. Whether youre required to file a return next year will depend on the type and the amount of your gross income, filing status, age, and whether someone is eligible to claim you as a dependent. Visit IRS.gov, the official IRS website, for more information about income tax withholding and employment taxes. J.C.
