~ by Ronda Dennis ~
The Weather Channel began as-
signing names to big snowstorms
in 2012. A blizzard that blasted the
Midwest on Jan. 12, 1888, was so
destructive that it acquired several
names: The Childrens Blizzard,
The Schoolchildrens Blizzard
and The Schoolhouse Blizzard.
The morning felt more like April
than January: warm, calm and
clear.
Oscar Coursey, three of his sib-
lings and their schoolmates were at
recess the morning of Jan. 12,
1888, outside the schoolhouse near
their homestead in southwestern
Beadle County, playing in their
shirt sleeves, without hats or mit-
tens. Suddenly, we looked up and
saw something coming rolling to-
ward us with great fury from the
northwest, and making a loud
noise, Coursey wrote in Pioneer-
ing in Dakota. It looked like a
long string of big bales of cotton,
each one bound tightly with heavy
cords of silver, and then all tied to-
gether with great silvery rope.
All the children had just gotten
inside the schoolhouse when the
storm struck with such force that it
nearly moved the building off its
cobblestone foundation.
George Duernberger had taken
his horses to a well about one-half
mile from his homestead in Faulk
County when one of the horses
jerked the halter rope from his
hand and started for the barn. A
hurried glance to the northwest
showed him a gray bank.
Then the wind came. Every-
thing was blotted out, and the trail
disappeared, the horses heads
were not visible It was difficult
to breathe and utterly impossible
to keep my eyes open against the
driving snow The cold was pierc-
ing, according to Duernbergers
account in The South Dakota His-
torical Societys bulletin The Wi-
Iyohi.
A brief break in the storm en-
abled him to recognize a landmark
and realize where he was. He was
able to get his horses in the barn
and start for the house. He was
guided to the house by the sound of
his wife blowing on a trumpet.
It was but eighty minutes since
I had left for the well. An eternity,
however, had elapsed.
Sadie Shaw wrote her brother
and sister that the wind knocked
her down when she attempted to go
to the coal box about a rod (about
5.5 yards) east of her sod house in
the Platte/Geddes area. Her hus-
band had gone to get their children
from school when he realized a
storm was coming. He returned
home safely after being in the
storm for about an hour, unsuccess-
ful in his attempt to reach the
schoolhouse.
Oh the agony of that hour no
one can tell, Shaw wrote in her let-
ter contained in 900 Miles from
Nowhere: Voices from the Home-
stead by Steven R. Kinsella. The
storm grew wilder colder and
thicker every moment until it
seemed to breathe nothing but
Death and Death inevitable in its
every gust. You could not see 3 feet
from the window at times and not
6 feet ahead all day.
A combination of gale winds,
blinding snow and rapidly drop-
ping temperatures made the storm
dangerous. The Signal Station at
Huron reported that the wind aver-
aged 45 to 50 mph, with gusts up to
60 mph. The temperature fell from
20 degrees at noon to 17 degrees
below zero at 10 p.m., further drop-
ping to 28 degrees below zero dur-
ing the night.
The storm abated early on Jan.
13. Shaws husband went for the
children and found them all safe.
Others were not as fortunate.
The Wi-Iyohi listed the names of
178 people who perished in the
blizzard in South Dakota. Many
who lay dead on the prairie were
children who were caught on their
way home from school. In The Chil-
drens Blizzard, author David
Laskin states that about 500 peo-
ple in the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Minnesota perished in the storm.
Coursey was one of the fortunate
schoolchildren, as his teacher kept
her flock of pioneer children in the
schoolhouse while the storm raged
and into the long, cold night.
In the morning of Jan. 13, the
teacher saw that the storm had
died out, took the schoolchildren to
her nearby claim shanty, fed them
and sent them home.
Coursey sat by his mothers bed-
side when she died in September
1914. The last thing she said to me
before she passed away was this:
Son, you will never know the bur-
den that was lifted from my heart
the next morning after the Big
Blizzard, when I looked out and
saw you four older children scam-
pering home over the snow-drifts,
when I was positively sure you had
all perished in the storm.

$100 KCBA Bucks
Santas visit and Bingo netted a
large turnout.
The sound system at the city au-
ditorium was discussed. In order to
get someone to look at the system
it will cost $700. Through a joint ef-
fort of the school, city, KCBA and
other entities, it would be afford-
able. A motion carried to give $100
towards costs.
A motion carried to retain the
same KCBA officers for the year
2013 with Jackie Stilwell as presi-
dent, Ken Wilmarth vice president,
Patty Ulmen secretary, Cindy
Wilmarth treasurer.
The KCBA dues letter will be
mailed out soon.
Sarah VanderMay recom-
mended holding an evening meet-
ing at Club 27.
Discussion followed with the
suggestion to mail invites to busi-
nesses and also put a notice in the
newspaper for individuals and
businesses to attend the meeting.
At this meeting, its planned to
map out what KCBA does for the
community.
A motion carried to hold the
March meeting on the Thursday
14th at 6:30 p.m. at Club 27.
The next meeting will be held at
Jiggers on February 7.
Kadoka Community Betterment
Association held their regular
meeting at Jiggers Restaurant on
Thursday, January 3.
Bills approved for payment in-
cluded Gas & Go and Jiggers for
the Christmas promotion. A motion
also carried to pay Bill Weller $250
for sign rent.
The CBS sign near Mitchell was
again discussed. Cindy Wilmarth
had received a new contract last
month, however, KCBA members
did not wish to continue paying
rent on a sign that has still not
been fixed. Wilmarth informed
KCBA that she did not send the
contract back.
The sign west of Kadoka will be
put up when weather permits.
Lauri Fugate gave an update on
KCBAs most recent promotion --
the treasure hunt. She said only 19
people turned in the clue sheets for
the $100 drawing in KCBA Bucks,
which Ashley Schofield won.
Some of the feedback, Fugate
said, was that people felt they
didnt have time to go to all the
businesses. Those who took part
enjoyed the treasure hunt and said
theyd do it again.
When discussing the outcome of
the open houses, it was noted that
businesses may have had a better
turnout if they had advertised an
in-store special.

Duke Westerbergs last day as
county executive director of the
Haakon/Jackson County Farm
Service Agency United States De-
partment of Agriculture was Janu-
ary 3.
He described his future plans by
first saying that his brother-in-law
once said, There is no flexibility
like not having a plan. Ive always
liked that, and, right now, Im
pretty flexible.
It has been 33 years since West-
erberg successfully interviewed for
the position in Philip. Before that,
he graduated from Huron High
School and spent four years as an
aircraft mechanic in the United
States Air Force. He had graduated
from South Dakota State Univer-
sity in 1983 with a bachelor of sci-
ence in economics and in
agricultural business. Back then,
the FSA was the Agricultural Sta-
bilization and Conservation Serv-
ice. It merged with the Farmers
Home Administration in 1995 to
become todays FSA.
Westerberg went through a six
month training program where he
visited offices across South Dakota.
You visited other county FSA of-
fices, I guess, to pick the brains of
other FSA officers and their man-
agement styles, said Westerberg.
Depending on the time of year, he
and his staff assist producers with
Conservation Reserve Program
bids, farm program sign up,
acreage reporting, non-insurance
crop assistance program, commod-
ity loans, emergency conservation
program, and many other govern-
ment programs.
You dont find any better people
anywhere, whether its working
with the staff or the ag producers,
said Westerberg. He added, They
can get by a lot better without me
than I can without them, and thats
obvious.
Its been a good run, it really
has, ups and downs like any job,
but its treated me really well, said
Westerberg. Kids think I need to
keep working somewhere and I
agree with them. He will fill much
of his time with what he already
enjoys doing video taping school
and community activities, using his
computer to edit the videos for in-
dividuals and for the schools chan-
nel 19 broadcasts, and playing golf.
I tell people that I dont want to
quit working, I just want to quit
working for Uncle Sam, said West-
erberg.
I like to harass my wife (Pat),
but I imagine my honey-do list is
going to get pretty long, said West-
erberg. I think shes a little anx-
ious about it. I told her that her
paycheck is part of my retirement
plan she didnt think much of
that.
Westerberg retires from FSA
Retiring On January 3
Duke Westerberg became the for-
mer county executive director of
the Haakon/Jackson County Farm
Service Agency United States

Jeremiah 9:23-24
Peter was a professional fisherman. He knew how to
read weather conditions, where to find the best places
to fish, and when to end an unproductive session. Be-
cause of his expertise, he may have silently questioned
the reasonableness of Jesus instruction. Why let down the nets when an experienced team of fishermen
hadnt caught anything all night?
At times God asks His children to act in ways that may not seem logical. His request might involve
leaving a job or ministry that He provided only recently, taking on more responsibility when life already
feels overloaded, or accepting an assignment that appears better suited for someone with a different skill
set. Perhaps Gods plan makes no sense in view of age, finances, or health. Yet, because of the One who
asks, it will be the absolutely right thing to do. We must decide whether to do what is sensible by human
standards or to obey God.
The Bible talks about many people who had to make such a choice. Abraham was asked to sacrifice
his son. Noah was told to build an ark on dry land because a flood was coming. Joshua was given a mil-
itary strategy of marching around Jericho instead of attacking it. Gideon, the inexperienced fighter, was
told to send most of his warriors home before the battle (Judges 7:2-3).
Dont make the mistake of allowing human logic to dictate whether you follow Gods plan. Trust in
Him as Peter and those other faithful believers did. When they chose to obey what the Lord was saying,
they all experienced divine power released on their behalf.
Obeying God

Tressa Gabriel__________________
Tressa Gabriel, age 90, of Philip,
S.D., died Tuesday, January 1,
2013, at the Hans P. Peterson Me-
morial Hospital in Philip.
Tressa Belle Coleman was born
October 24, 1922, in Woodbine,
Iowa, the daughter of Orrin Wes-
ley and Goldia Belle (Thomas)
Coleman. She lived near Pisgah,
Iowa, with her parents and older
sister, Erma, until they left their
home in the Loess Hills to move to
Haakon County northwest of
Philip, at the age of eight. They
traveled at 45 mph in the Model T
Ford while their personal belong-
ings and livestock were shipped to
Cottonwood on the train.
On the farm, she helped milk
cows, herd sheep, with chores rais-
ing hogs and gardening. Her
mother taught her to preserve veg-
etables and to prepare wholesome
meals.
Tressa attained an eighth grade
education at North Lincoln School.
Being too far to walk, they rode
horseback when the weather per-
mitted. In cold, snowy weather
Tressa had a room and boarded at
Axel Olsons.
An experience she and Erma
talked about often, was Erma tak-
ing a rein from her horses bridle to
kill a rattlesnake while she was on
the horse something she did
often. One time, the snake caught
in the rein hooks, and the horses
spooked and ran full speed home
with the snake flying in the air be-
hind.
Tressa met her lifetime partner
when Floyd Gabriel arrived at her
parents to purchase some hay.
Floyd and Tressa developed a com-
panionship that lasted a lifetime.
Colemans were concerned about
Tressa and Floyd dating. For them
to go anywhere, it was necessary
to take Erma and Frank, (Floyds
brother), along as chaperones.
Tressa and Floyd were married
March 17, 1941, in Philip. They
went to Iowa and Nebraska to visit
relatives for a honeymoon. Quote
of Floyds taken from Tressas
Brides Book. We got home in fine
shape and found everything was
o.k. We were a little wiser but just
as foolish and wished our honey-
moon to continue indefinitely.
This marriage was truly made in
heaven. They were business part-
ners as well. At first they sum-
mered sheep for neighbors as well
as themselves on land for which
they borrowed money to purchase.
When Floyd was away helping
neighbors whose family member
were serving in the war, Tressa
was responsible for their business.
After Beverly was born, Tressa
loaded her on the saddle and took
her to tend the sheep all day long.
Their only rest was a nap in the
shade of the sheep wagon while
the sheep bedded down by water
during the heat of the day.
When Tressa was in late preg-
nancy with Larry, Tressa, leading
Beverly, took a sheep buyer to view
the herd. He told Floyd, You want
too much for your sheep, but I feel
sorry for your wife so Ill give you
what you want.
Cattle replaced the sheep in
their business. Tressa still rode
horseback. Dixie, her mare, was
still very important in her life.
In addition to Beverly and Larry,
a sister, Ruby, brightened Tressas
life. In 1981, Floyd, Tressa and
Ruby began traveling the United
States. Tressa enjoyed continued
trips, collecting state plates and
shot glasses while seeing most of
the continental United States and
part of Canada. Tressa became an
excellent map reader, instructing
Ruby where to turn. Branson, Mo.,
was the highlight of her trips.
She was active in the Dowling
Community Church where she
was baptized. She was treasurer
for many years.
Tressas hobbies included play-
ing the piano, which was pur-
chased in 1956 to replace the
pump organ which she played by
ear. She also played the violin, em-
broidered, scrapbooked her chil-
drens activities and trips, and
enjoyed reading historical fiction.
Leaving to mourn her loss are
her three children, Beverly
Hamann and her husband, Herb,
of Clear Lake, Larry Gabriel and
his wife, Charlotte, of Quinn, and
Ruby Gabriel of Pedro; a double
niece, Cindy Nuzum, of Buffalo;
four grandchildren; and six great-
grandchildren.
Tressa was preceded in death by
her husband, Floyd, on February
5, 1998; her parents; her only sib-
ling, Erma Gabriel; and two great-
grandchildren.
Services were held Monday, Jan-
uary 7, at the United Methodist
Church in Wall, with Pastor
Harold Delbridge officiating.
Interment was at the Wall
Cemetery.
A memorial has been estab-
lished.
Arrangements were with the
Rush Funeral Chapel of Wall.
Her online guestbook is avail-
able at www.rushfuneralhome.com
Winona Bell Carson_______________
Winona Bell Carson, age 94 of
Kadoka, S.D., died Sunday, Janu-
ary 6, 2013, at the Kadoka Nurs-
ing Home.
Winona Bell Ogle was born No-
vember 14, 1918, in Brownlee,
Neb., the daughter of Charles L.
and Jessie (Vian) Ogle. She grew
up on a ranch 35 miles southeast
of Valentine, Neb., where she at-
tended rural school. As a young
lady, she herded sheep for her
grandfather, Vian.
She met her future husband,
George Carson, and they were
married February 9, 1935, at
Valentine. They made their home
in Kilgore, Neb., until 1942, when
they moved to a ranch near Long
Valley. In 1976, because of Georges
health, they retired and moved
into Kadoka.
Her husband, George, preceded
her in death on August 12, 1980.
Winona continued to reside in
Kadoka, where she cleaned the
Presbyterian Church and the
bank.
She is noted for her pancakes
and donuts in this area as well as
clear to California. She loved to
cook and take care of her family
and friends.
Winona was a member of the
Presbyterian Church of Kadoka.

Ruth Capp_____________________
Ruth Irene Capp, 86, Spearfish,
died on Friday, January 4, 2013 at
Rapid City Regional Hospital.
Ruth was born July 25, 1926 on
her grandparents ranch near
Crookston, Nebraska to Clio
(Westlake) and C. Chester Searby.
Her parents lived on the Searby
ranch near Long Valley, South
Dakota. She was later joined by
eight siblings (seven brothers and
one sister).
Ruth attended elementary
school at rural grade schools near
her home and later attended Lin-
coln High School in Lincoln, Ne-
braska (staying with her aunt).
Her parents moved during her
high school years to her grandpar-
ents ranch near Crookston, Ne-
braska and Ruth graduated from
Valentine High School. Ruth ob-
tained a teaching certificate while
attending high school but instead
of becoming a teacher, Ruth opted
to marry and raise a family. She
married William (Bill) Capp on Au-
gust 1, 1944 at the Searby ranch
house in Nebraska, in the same
house where she had been born.
For the first year of their mar-
ried life, the newlyweds herded
sheep for Bills brother, Howard
Capp, near Faith, South Dakota.
In 1945 they purchased a ranch
near Long Valley, South Dakota
which they operated for 18 years.
Four children were born to Bill
and Ruth: Larry, Carol, Linda and
Dorothy.
In 1963, they sold their ranch
and bought a motel in Spearfish,
South Dakota. They operated the
Capp Motel on Jackson Blvd. until
1980 when they retired and moved
to their home on Polley Drive.
Ruth enjoyed fishing and camping
with Bill until his death in 1995.
She was an active member of
Our Saviors Lutheran Church and
played a leading role in organizing
the quilting group there. Ruth also
served as ALCW president.
Ruth was a volunteer at the
Black Hills Passion Play for over
twenty years and loved her role as
a water bearer. She was a founding
member and also served as presi-
dent of the Spearfish chapter of
the VFW Womens Auxiliary. She
was on the Senior Citizens Center
Board for a time and did volunteer
work at the Spearfish Hospital gift
shop.
Ruth also enjoyed letting others
know that she was thinking of
them and was well known for the
birthday, anniversary and holiday
cards she sent to friends and fam-
ily. Her family always marveled at
her beautiful handwriting.
Her parents, husband, two
brothers (Kenneth, Nyle), her sis-
ter (Lila) and an infant great-
grandson preceded her in death.
She is survived by her children;
son, Larry (Penny) Capp of
Spearfish, daughters; Carol (Nor-
van) Ness and Linda Lester of
Spearfish, Dorothy (Allen) Hilburn
of Allen, Texas; eleven grandchil-
dren, nineteen great grandchil-
dren, and one great, great
granddaughter, her brothers; Jay
(Ruth Mary) Searby, Carl Searby,
Earl Searby, Wiley Searby and
James Searby plus numerous
nieces and nephews.
Visitation for Ruth was held
from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Tues-
day, January 8, 2013 at Fidler-Is-
burg Funeral Chapel in Spearfish.
Funeral Services were held at
11:00 a.m., Wednesday, January 9,
2013 at Our Saviors Lutheran
Church in Spearfish. Interment
will follow at Rose Hill Cemetery.

Morris Mo Vetch_______________
Morris Mo Vetch, age 85 of
Kadoka, S.D., died Saturday, De-
cember 29, 2012, at the Kadoka
Nursing Home.
Morris, better known as Mo,
was born November 5, 1927, in Ed-
munds County near Edgemont,
S.D, the son of Anton and Mary
(Kraft) Vetch. Mo was raised on
their home place.
As he became a young man, he
was a grocery bagger. He moved to
Rapid City and spent 17 years
with his caretaker, Evelyn. Mo
love and appreciated Evelyn and
had many great years of life with
her. Although Evelyn cared for Mo,
he still referred to Stacy as the
boss. Mo cared and respected
Stacy.
While living in Rapid City, Mo
enjoyed the SD Central States
Fair, especially for the music con-
certs and rodeos. He looked for-
ward to lunch at the Senior Center
on a daily basis. Mo, being the
clever fellow he was, walked the
neighborhood and picked up cans
to sell. He enjoyed a good cigar in
the evenings on the patio.
Mo moved to the Kadoka Nurs-
ing Home in November of 2011. Al-
though it took him awhile to adjust
to nursing home life and the peo-
ple who cared for him, he became
very fond of the employees and
even some of the residents.
Mo was a man of few words in
his last few years of life. He could
go days without anything to say,
but when he knew you were listen-
ing and trusted you, Mo engaged
in conversation.
Mo love his treats. When visitors
came and brought him snacks, we
would have to hide them and ra-
tion them or he would have them
gone in no time. He enjoyed joking
that he might share his treat and
then stick the entire treat in his
mouth. It was a game he played
with the staff at the nursing home.
Mo also loved money! He carried a
dollar bill around much of the time
and showed everyone he could. Mo
put on many miles up and down
the halls of the home, but also
loved going outside. He spent
much of his time on the front patio
of the nursing home watching cars
go by and laughing as they waved
to him.
Thankful for sharing his life
were two nieces, Jeanette Ander-
son of Chadron, Nebr., and Dar-
lene Ferber of Billings, MT, along
with the staff of the Department of
Social Services, and the Kadoka
Nursing Home staff and residents.
Funeral service were held Mon-
day, January 7, at the Kadoka
Nursing Home in Kadoka with Fa-
ther Bryan Sorensen officiating.
Graveside service was held on
Friday, January 4 at 1 p.m. at the
Edgemont Cemetery in Edgemont,
S.D. with Rev. Morris Nelson offi-
ciating.

These bodies we run around in
sometimes cause us grief. I recall
a time in the middle of last year
when I felt somewhat like a ram-
bling wreck. There were just
enough parts of me that hurt to
make it preferable to stay motion-
less.
At the time, I was still dealing
with a heel that had been giving
me trouble for several months. It
was a condition known as plantar
fasciitis and involves inflamma-
tion of a band of tissue that runs
across the bottom of your foot and
connects the heel bone to the toes.
It was probably caused by slopping
around the house in moccasins
that had no proper arch support
and had also worn unevenly thin
on the bottoms. The pain was at its
worst when I got up in the morn-
ings and made me limp some for a
while.
Then, in an effort to fix things
according to Dr. Ks recommenda-
tions, I started doing an exercise
designed to bring relief. This in-
volved placing the balls of your
feet on a step and dropping the
heels down as much as possible to
stretch things. Well, that was all
fine and well and did help some,
but I obviously got too carried
away so that my one arch started
to click when I moved and then
sometimes hurt when I walked.
Eventually I learned to repeat the
exercises fewer times so as to avoid
arch problems, and to just stretch
longer at the bottom of the cycle.
Before catching on to that, of
course, I had to deal with a click-
ing arch.
At the same time as the heel
and arch were causing trouble, one
sinus decided to plug up and cause
misery. Despite my home cure of
breathing in hot coffee steam and
vapors as much as possible, it still
would clog up part of the time and
cause pressure and discomfort.
Over-the-counter meds helped
some when I remembered to take
them, and the sinus behaved itself
part of the time, but still there
were times when nothing did
much good.
Adding to those things, I also
had a wrist that throbbed when I
moved it wrong, and my back had
an occasional twinge. These latter
troubles were caused by a miscal-
culation one day in leaning down
to tend son Chance on the couch. I
thought I was going to lean on the
arm of the couch when, in fact, I
was only leaning on a pillow that
was just enough off the arm to give
no support. As a result, I lost my
balance and dropped the short dis-
tance to the floor. I obviously
landed just wrong enough on the
wrist to make it complain while, at
the same time, my back got
twisted a little. Neither of these
was severe by any means, but they
both occasionally reminded me to
move circumspectly.
As you know, time is a great
healer in many cases, and all these
things righted themselves eventu-
allysome with help from me and
some without. The heel thing went
on for many months but is now fi-
nally gone thanks to buying arch
supports and doing exercises. The
other conditions were fortunately
brief. At present, my only com-
plaint is little cracks in the skin
around my fingernails which are
probably caused by dryness and
cold weather. I fix those by cover-
ing them with a drop of Super
Glue. That works although re-
peated treatments are sometimes
necessary. Other than that, the old
bod has been behaving itself of
late.
When I consider things in gen-
eral, however, I realize how lucky
I am healthwise. I have very little
to complain about. Although no
one is probably going to hire me as
a model for swimwear or under-
wear, this body of mine still allows
me to mostly do what I want with-
out causing much trouble. I can
walk, or even run if I want to. I can
drive. I can eat almost anything
that looks good to me and so on. I
have needed to visit doctors very
infrequently in my life. When I
look at other people around me, I
know I am very fortunate and
blessed. Certain loved ones,
friends or acquaintances have
much more to deal with than I do
such as those bothered by arthri-
tis, worn-out joints, chronic pains
of this and that, digestive miseries,
and so on. These complicated bod-
ies of ours have so many ways of
going bad that, when they are op-
erating smoothly, it is a major
cause for rejoicing.
So, at the moment I am, thank-
fully, not a rambling wrecknot
even close. Memories of being one,
though, may prompt me to try to
eat a little more sensibly this year
and to get more exercise. It might
be a good idea to take good care of
this body of mine so it can continue
to serve me well. Guess Ill at least
give it a try.
Its a Pain
Lookin Around
by Syd Iwan
A new bridge across the White
River near Peraults is still sched-
uled to be built this summer. Ac-
cording to Floyd Iwan and Buddy
Manke, they were drilling test
holes this last week to determine
what needs to be done as far as pil-
ings, etc. The current bridge is very
old and narrow so getting some
equipment across it is tricky or im-
possible. The work may take three
to six months and will be a great
inconvenience to those who live
nearby since alternate routes are
unhandy. For Mankes and Iversens
and others close by, going to Murdo
will involve a trip south to Cedar
Butte, east to White River, and
back north to Murdo. Going to
Kadoka will involve going south
past the England ranch, west over
Horseshoe Butte, north to
Belvidere and then west to
Kadoka. Although the alternate
routes may be scenic, they both
have some stretches of road that
can be quite difficult in wet
weather.
Floyd Iwan is scheduled for
some minor eye surgery this week
at the Regional Eye Clinic in Rapid
City. It is designed to reduce pres-
sure and avoid additional eye prob-
lems. Floyd said the recent snow at
their place accounted for about
three-tenths of an inch of moisture
when melted down. This was about
the only measurable precip that
has fallen there since last June.
Floyd and Jane continue to collect
more grandchildren and great
grandchildren. The current tally is
29 grandchildren and eight greats.
Three of those arrived this last
year, and more are expected in the
coming year. Floyd said they are
still able to remember all the
names, but the birthdates and ages
may get a bit fuzzy from time to
time.
Buddy Manke and Peggy Martin
moved a new small building to
Buds this weekend that will be-
come a certified kitchen for pro-
cessing some of their garden
produce for sale. They have a cou-
ple of greenhouses and acres of gar-
den for production of veggies and
such. Bud said he has chickens in
one of the greenhouses now that
are busily tilling the soil, eating
bugs, and adding fertilizer in
preparation for the coming season.
Seeds have been ordered and plans
have been made. Some seeds will
be started later this month. Water
is piped in from a nearby spring.
According to Bud, this all started
out as a hobby but has somehow
now grown into a job. Bud said he
has been tearing down part of a
barn over by Cedar Butte this past
week. There are two large sets of
pig barns over that way for large-
scale production that are currently
not being used. The one close to
White River was damaged by wind
and is mostly worn out so it will
probably no longer be used. The
one just north of Cedar Butte is
still useable but currently not in
production. Bud also reported the
coyote population is rebounding
from being decimated for a few
years by mange.
Jo Rodgers actually spent all of
last week working at the Murdo
Post Office where she is the official
postmaster. She called it a Christ-
mas miracle since she has been
routed to various other post offices
a lot in the last year and not been
at Murdo all that much. This week
is scheduled for Murdo again ex-
cept for one day at Belvidere. Other
than that, life is fairly quiet. Jory
is still involved in wrestling at
school but has also been helping to
get the Belvidere Store organized
for reopening before long.
Bobbi Eckert and Ben Gaylord
of Denver, CO arrived at the Rick
and Ronda Dennis home Wednes-
day night. Due to the weather con-
ditions the trip took longer than
normal. On Saturday they went
with Rick and Ronda to Aaron and
Lori Iversens for their family
Christmas. Bobbi and Ben re-
turned to Denver Sunday morning.
Jim and Georgann Addison are
scheduled for more bleacher time
this year since daughter Jami was
upgraded to play on the Murdo B
basketball team this last week.
Jami is only an eighth grader and
is excited that shell be able to play
more this year. The grade-school
season is already done for the year,
but the high-school season will con-
tinue for several months yet. Jami
played in her first game last week
on the B team and did okay. Key
and Royal Addison celebrated a
late Christmas with Jim and fam-
ily the day before New Years. They
also helped chop some ice to water
cattle.
Chuck Willard was scheduled
for hip-replacement surgery in
Rapid City on Tuesday. This will
slow him down for a number of
weeks, but he hopes to be recovered
enough by branding season to help
with that. The branding season is
probably Chucks favorite time of
year, and he would hate to miss out
on it. A week ago Sunday, Chuck
and Merry drove to Nebraska to re-
turn their grandson, Faron, to son
Casey. Casey lives farther on in Ne-
braska but met Chuck and Merry
at about the half way point from
here to there.
Glenn Freemans son, Jimmie,
returned to Iowa this week to be
closer to his kids and family. Jim-
mie came here to help Glenn and
Lucy after Glenn had knee-replace-
ment surgery, but he decided it was
now time to head back east.
Kalla already has been to India on
a missionary trip and the people
there really tugged at her heart.
Friday, Ed and Carol Ferguson
returned from a trip south visiting
family and doing some sight seeing.
They spent time with Eds sisters,
Cathy and Dan Renteria and Chloe
and Larry Wiginton, in Oklahoma.
The Fergusons also visited with
Carols aunt, Betty Berger, in Col-
orado. They stopped to see Carols
mom, Irene Kaufman, in Valentine
on their way home.
Dan Taft, Samantha and Mor-
gan drove to Philip and left Susans
car to be worked on and picked up
Samanthas. Samantha was leav-
ing for University of South Dakota
in Vermillion on Tuesday.
Word was just received of the
loss of Ruth Searby Capp, 86, of
Spearfish. Our hearts to go out to
her many relatives and friends at
this sad time. She was quite a lady.
Ruth was a cousin of the late Rus-
sell and Dean Allard of Norris.
Bill and Ruth Capp were living
in Long Valley when we got mar-
ried. We always marveled how the
folks from the Faith area found
their way further south or the
other way around. The Capps and
my grandparents homesteaded
close together and lived across the
road from each other when they
moved to town, too.
Services for Ruth Capp were
held at the Our Saviour Lutheran
Church in Spearfish on Wednesday.
Friday, Evan and Dorothy Bligh
went to Philip for the pesticide ap-
plicator recertification meeting.
Folks have been busy helping
Tim Merchen build a new shed. It
has been a cold job; hope it warms
up this week a little bit.
Saturday afternoon, Dan and
Susan Taft, Samantha and Morgan
met up with Susans parents, Alvin
and Judy Simmons, and Chris and
Cindy Knecht and sons at the bowl-
ing alley in Martin. They really en-
joyed a few competitive rounds of
bowling. Later in the evening, they
went to the Simmons home to play
cards.
In the meantime, back at the
ranch, Heather enjoyed experi-
menting with the new smoker they
got for Christmas and had made
deer salami and deer sticks while
the rest were gone.
May 2013 be a great year for you
and yours. My thanks, to each of
you readers and especially those
friends and neighbors that trust
me with the events in their lives as
we begin a new year of bringing
you the news. Remember to enjoy
each day as it comes.
Have a great week!
Never put the key to your
happiness in someone elses pocket.
Dont forget the post office meet-
ing at the lobby on Wednesday,
January 9 at 5:00 p.m. CST. Please
come and support your local post
office and lets have a crowd. I will
open the Township Hall if we need
to move the meeting. The post of-
fice is essential to this area. Please
come and show your concern.
Erica and DJ Beckwith stayed
behind after everyone else went
home on Sunday night and were
guests of their sister, Andee. While
she went to work, they stayed and

December 31, New Years Eve
was Jeremy Rings birthday so they
celebrated his fourteenth with a
birthday party at Grandpa and
Grandma Robert and Sharon
Rings. Grandma, of course, made
him streusel. His parents, Torey
and Linda Ring, and brother, Tyler,
and great aunt, Janice Ring, were
also guests.
The Jason Burma family spent
New Years Day pulling the sled
with the four wheeler and they
have fun! We dont have much
snow but it was enough for that.
The creek is full of snow but the
spots for good sledding are wearing
thin.
The Burma family returned to
Sunshine Bible Academy on
Wednesday evening. Jason is the
wrestling coach and he had a cou-
ple of wrestlers at Presho on Friday
and Saturday.
Kalla Sybesma of Platte was a
house guests of Andee Beckwith
from Thursday through Sunday.
Kalla and Andee were classmates
at Sunshine Bible. Andee and Kalla
had a special at the Norris Bible
Church on Sunday and then Kalla
told of her future missionary plans.
Kalla is now attending New Tribes
Bible School in Wisconsin and
plans to go to India as a missionary
after two more years of training.
Jump into Fitness
with Jump Roping
Do you remember the last time
you jumped rope? Memories of re-
cess on the playground can take us
back to our school days. Back then,
skipping rope was considered a fun
way to play. Today, jump roping is
an intense, moderate-impact phys-
ical activity. Individuals striving to
obtain their New Years resolutions
of getting fit may consider reviving
their jump roping activities. Its an
exercise that lets you jump for
your health.
There are several benefits to
jump roping. It can be used as a
means to attain weight loss.
Jumping rope for 30 minutes can
burn approximately 300 calories.
It is a great way to improve the
muscle tone in your legs and lower
body. It also increases cardiovascu-
lar fitness. (Make sure to consult
your health care provider before
beginning this type of exercise rou-
tine.) Physical skills that can be
improved with jump roping in-
clude better coordination, timing
and balance.
Jump roping is a simple activity
that burns a lot of calories and can
be done in any location with very
little equipment. You only need a
jump rope and athletic shoes with
cushioned soles and good support.
Proper footwear helps safeguard
the jumper from joint injury.
Three different types of jump
ropes include: cloth, speed and
beaded. Cloth ropes are heavier
and slide on the floor easier. The
downfall is that they get dirty and
wear out easily. Speed style ropes
are lightweight and made of vinyl
cord. They are recommended for
inside use since they can wear
down quickly on harsh surfaces.
These ropes allow the highest
number of turns per minute, re-
sulting in an intense workout with
a lot of calories burned. Beaded
ropes are the heaviest, are re-
silient to harsh environments and
keep a good arc. They are made of
plastic or polyurethane 1.5-inch
long segments with a nylon inner
cord. The segments or beads keep
the rope from tangling, which is
good for beginners.
To determine the size of jump
rope you need, grab the ends of the
rope, one in each hand. Step on the
center of the rope. Pull the ends of
the rope up towards your shoul-
ders. The ends of the rope will be
at armpit level if the rope is the
correct length.
It is estimated that 10 minutes
of jumping rope (at 120 turns per
minute) has the same benefit as
jogging for 30 minutes. Here are
some jump roping basics:
Keep elbows close to your
sides, hold the handles firmly and
keep them positioned a little below
waist level.
Make small circles with your
wrist when turning the rope to
make the rope rotate around the
body.
The actual jumps should be
only one inch from the ground.
Landing should be soft and always
on the balls of your feet.
Warm-up exercises are very im-
portant to do prior to jump roping.
This can reduce the risk of injury
to muscles. After jump roping,
walk slowly for a few minutes to
cool down.
No matter how hectic your
schedule gets, you can take your
jump rope with you almost any-
where. For more workout ideas
and techniques, go to

Minute Jump Rope workout, cour-

at Cheraw, CO, and then went on
to Fallbrook, CA, where they spent
Christmas with Coleen and Matt
McHolland and their daughters,
Lindsey and Lauren. The

held Thursday, the 10th at the
Community Room of the Gateway
Apartments. The meeting will
begin at 7 p.m.
Larry and Alvina Parkinson and
Chuck and Suzanne Parkinson at-
tended the memorial service of
longtime friend, Jean Hier, in
Rapid City on Saturday. They
greeted and visited with Jeans
family, who were all attending. Fol-
lowing the service a reception was
held in the Lincoln Room at the
Alex Johnson Hotel. Many former
McLaughlin family, friends, as well
as, Larry and Alvinas granddaugh-
ter, Alex, attending. Larry and Alv-
ina were overnight guests of Chuck
and Suzanne and returned home
on Sunday.
The Francis and Norma Vander-
May home was abuzz with activity
during Christmas week with visits
from their children and grandchil-
dren. After attending Mass in
Kadoka on Christmas Eve, supper
guests were Mark and Cindy Van-
derMay and family, Dallas and
Dwan Kendrick and Carter of
Kadoka, Chris and Karla Kendrick
of rural Pierre, Kevin and Diane
VanderMay and family of rural
Bennett County, Matt and Melissa
VanderMay and family of Long Val-
ley, Scott and Nancy Donnelly of
Rapid City, and Eric VanderMay of
Minneapolis. Rich and Chris
Grable and family and Amy and
Colton Juso of Rapid City came on
Christmas Day. Spending the days
following Christmas were Pam
Dixon and children of Rapid City
and Julie Carlbom and children of
Spearfish. All became quiet Satur-
day afternoon when the last of the
company returned to their homes.
Tim and Carmen Huffmans son,
Keith, of Madison spent a week in
their home over the Christmas hol-
iday. On Christmas Eve day they
all went to Rapid City and met
Tims dad, Jim, of Hill City for din-
ner. Christmas Day they drove to
rural Pukwana and visited Car-
mens mom, sister and her brother
and family, returning home that
night. Sunday, Dec. 30, they and
Keith met in Wessington Springs to
visit Curtis and Casey Huffman
and celebrate New Years. They re-
turned home to Kadoka on Monday.

protects 99 percent of South
Dakota taxpayers from govern-
ment reaching into their pockets
and taking more of their money.
The fiscal cliff also posed a very
serious threat to the future of fam-
ily farming in South Dakota. With-
out action, the death tax would
have reverted to a $1 million ex-
emption and 55 percent tax rate on
any assets above that, which would
have ensnared more than 70 per-
cent of South Dakotas crop produc-
ers. The fiscal cliff legislation I
supported made permanent the $5
million death tax exemption so that
more family farms and businesses
can stay in the family. I will con-
tinue to work with others in Con-
gress to permanently repeal the
death tax. There were other impor-
tant parts of the bill that was
passed, including a temporary ex-
tension of the Farm Bill.
Even with the glimmers of good
in the bill, this deal doesnt even
begin to touch the real problem our
nation is facing: spending. South
Dakotans have heard the numbers
repeated over and over again: $16
trillion debt; $1 trillion annual
deficits; $50,000 owed by every
child in America. In my short time
in Washington, I have already
voted for trillions in spending cuts
and I will not stop fighting tooth-
and-nail to force Washington to live
within its means.
The people of South Dakota
know whats at stake if we fail to
address our spending crisis. I will
continue to stand up for South
Dakotans every step of the way and
fight for responsible spending cuts
that will secure Americas future.
And I encourage South Dakotans
to make their voices heard in this
as well. Because we dont just need
leadership, we deserve it. For the
sake of our children and for love of
our country, we must rein in the
out-of-control spending that threat-
ens the way of life we all hold dear.
For the weeks leading up to New
Year's Day 2013, the talk was not
of ball drops, fireworks or New
Years resolutions. Instead, it was
about the "fiscal cliff;" when the
largest tax increase in American
history and across the board spend-
ing cuts would take effect and
threaten to tip America's weak
economy back into recession.
Congress knew this cliff was
coming for more than a year. In
fact, it was a cliff of Washingtons
own making. That is why the
House got to work to avert the cliff
months ago. In June, we voted to
replace the across-the-board spend-
ing cuts with more targeted reduc-
tions. In August, we voted to
extend tax relief for all Americans,
which was set to expire on January
1 and would have resulted in an
enormous tax increase on every-
one.
Unfortunately, just because the
House gets its work done doesnt
mean the rest of our nations lead-
ers have to follow our lead. So the
bills thoughtfully crafted and
passed by the House sat untouched
in the Senate and ignored by the
President. Instead of leading, the
President chose to posture and play
political games with hardworking
American families. It wasnt until
we were nearly over the cliff that
the Administration got truly en-
gaged and a deal was brokered.
I will be the first to admit that
the deal that is now law is flawed,
and is an unfortunate example of
how politics are getting in the way
of common sense policy. However,
faced with the choice of allowing
taxes to go up on every taxpayer in
America or enacting permanent tax
relief for 99 percent of them, I
chose the latter. I want to make it
clear that had Congress done noth-
ing, middle class families in South
Dakota would be paying $2,000
more this year in taxes. I refused to
stand by and allow that to happen.
Instead, I chose the option that

food supply for 2013 and future
years.
High unemployment, a soaring
federal debt, and a decline in global
competitiveness are taking a toll on
American businesses, large and
small. This year the average price
of gasoline hit a record high, giving
new meaning to the term pain at
the pump. Overreaching govern-
ment bureaucracies and an over-
abundance of unnecessary federal
regulations have also severely re-
stricted many of our entrepreneurs
and job creators from making in-
vestments, adding new workers,
and ultimately jumpstarting the
lagging economy. This economic
firestorm has taken its toll on
South Dakotans and Americans of
all stripes. To start this new year
out on the right foot, Congress
must get to work stimulating the
economy with pro-growth legisla-
tion and diligently work to cut fed-
eral spending, bureaucratic red
tape, and burdensome government
regulations. Achieving this would
ensure we move our country back
on the right track.
The beginning of a new year is
always a good time for reflecting on
the past and planning for the fu-
ture. I look forward to new oppor-
tunities to serve South Dakota in
the coming year as we embark on a
new Congress. Kimberley and I
wish all South Dakotans a happy,
safe and healthy new year.
As we ring in the New Year, we
reflect on the hope, promise and
challenges that 2013 will hold.
Many individuals stop to consider
the personal improvements and
changes they can make to their
lives to ensure that 2013 holds
even more opportunity than 2012.
As we begin the New Year, Con-
gress must try even harder to solve
short-term problems and achieve
long-term goals that will keep
America secure and financially sta-
ble.
The drought-stricken landscape
and the loss of crops, hay and pas-
tures in 2012 presented numerous
challenges for many South Dakota
farmers and ranchers. Following
the excessive spring moisture and
record floods of 2011, no one would
have predicted that 2012 would
bring extreme heat, a crippling
moisture shortage, and the worst
drought in decades. Because the
weather is so unpredictable, Con-
gress must pursue fiscally respon-
sible agriculture policies that
ensure farmers and ranchers can
continue to produce a reliable, safe,
and inexpensive food supply with
the appropriate level of regulatory
oversight and at the least cost to
taxpayers. As a member of the Sen-
ate Agriculture Committee, I will
continue to work with producers
and stakeholders across the state
to secure South Dakotas and our
nations agriculture industry and
The promise & challenge
of a new year
By Senator John Thune
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
On December 14th our nation
was shocked and saddened by the
tragic deaths of 26 teachers and
students at the Sandy Hook School
in Newtown, Connecticut and the
death of Nancy Lanza.
There has been a series of mul-
tiple shooting around our country
and the President has pledged to
do more to restrict guns.
But although guns were the
means to all these tragic deaths,
the common cause of so many of
these shootings has been untreated
mental illness. Mental illness is an
issue that we don't like to talk
about, but it can happen to anyone.
As a pastor along the Interstate
90, I often meet stranded travelers
who appear to have mental and
emotional issues that need treat-
ment. There are very few resources
to help them. All we can do is give
them a few dollars for gas and a lit-
tle food and hope that they will find
help somewhere. We know that
somewhere someone is wondering
where they are and what has hap-
pened to them.
Solomon writes in the Book of
Proverbs, Speak up for those who
cannot speak for themselves. We,
as a nation, need to revise and up-
date the laws and the resources
that are available to people who
have mental illnesses and to their
families. Jesus said that we should
love our neighbor as much as we
love ourselves and this includes
those who are mentally ill and
their families.

Belvidere Community Church

leaders, Law said. We recognize
that the graduating seniors of
today may be the community lead-
ers of tomorrow who will help cre-
ate greater opportunity for
everyone.
Committees overseen by each
schools superintended and/or prin-
cipal will select local scholarship
winners, while a committee of
Golden West employees will select
the at-large recipient. Golden West
Scholarship recipients will be cho-
sen based on SAT or ACT scores,
high school transcripts and schol-
arship applications. In addition,
the committees will consider lead-
ership in school, civic and other ex-
tracurricular activities, personal
character and the applicants moti-
vation to serve and succeed. The
students parent(s) or legal
guardian(s) must reside within one
of the Golden West telephone serv-
ice areas and subscribe to a Golden
West service (phone, internet or ca-
blevision). When two applicants
are extremely close in qualifica-
tions, financial need will serve as a
tiebreaker.
The 2013 Golden West Scholar-
ship program marks the 14th year
the Golden West Telecommunica-
tions Board of Directors has funded
the program.
Area high school seniors can
now apply for the Golden West
Telecommunications college schol-
arship. This year, 44 $1,000 schol-
arships will be awarded to students
from high schools in the Golden
West service area. In addition, stu-
dents who attend home school and
students whose parents live in the
Golden West service area but who
attend a school not included in the
program are eligible for one addi-
tional at-large scholarship. The
Golden West Scholarship Program
is designed to help local students
pursue degrees at vocational
schools, military academies and
universities.
Golden West Scholarship appli-
cations are available from guidance
counselors at local high schools and
at-large applications may be re-
quested by calling 777 from any
Golden West telephone or by click-
ing on the scholarship button at

Deadlines. Application deadline is
Friday, March 15.

to strengthen and build South
Dakotas rural communities. At

latest technologies, but also the im-

BankWest Scholarship applica-
tions are now available online or at
most BankWest branches through-
out South Dakota. The bank will
award 15 scholarships to high
school seniors and undergraduate
college students who meet the eli-
gibility requirements. The applica-
tion deadline is February 8, 2013.
BankWest Chairman, President
and CEO Charles Burke III said
each scholarship has a $1,500
value and may be used to fund tu-
ition at any accredited, post-sec-
ondary educational institution.
Involvement in community activi-
ties, personal character and aca-
demic integrity are the three
primary areas of consideration in
the application process.
This is the 20th year BankWest
has provided scholarships to our
area youth, Burke said. Some of
the brightest and most community-
involved students come from South
Dakota and this is one way that
BankWest encourages them to pur-
sue their academic dreams.
To apply for a 2013 BankWest
Scholarship, students must meet
the following criteria:
Be a BankWest deposit account
holder for a minimum of six
months preceding the application
deadline.
Be a United States citizen.
Be a high school senior or full-
time undergraduate student cur-
rently attending an accredited post
high school educational institution.
Have not previously received a
BankWest Scholarship.
Online applications may be
found at: www.bankwest-sd.com.
Scholarship finalists will be invited
to BankWests corporate office in
Pierre for a personal interview and
awards will be announced in April.

BankWest deposit account holders
are invited to visit any BankWest
branch and discuss opening an ac-
count and/or eligibility for the 2014

The Kougars traveled to New
Underwood on January 5 to take
on the Tigers.
In scoring VanderMay put in 11,
Christensen 6, Anderson 4 and
Brenden Porch and Yuki Hotsumi
added 2 apiece.
The team was 4/14 from the line,
however, it was the 42 turnovers
that made a difference in the final
score.
These two games didnt fare
well for the Kougars. Bottom line is
we didnt take care of the ball like
we should. Our turnovers have led
to easy points for our opponents.
Another weakness we look to work
on is rebounding. We show that we
are capable of hitting the boards
well early and then drop off as the
game progresses. Right now these
are two factors that need to be cor-
rected or it will be hard to stay
close in any game, Reiman said.
I know Coach Moro and I have
seen a change in practice. There
has been more energy and focus
from a bigger portion of the team.
The boys are starting to realize
what kind of effort it takes in order
to compete at a higher level. This is
what we have been looking for!
Now, that the boys are playing
hard we can improve on the skills
that have been hurting us during
games. I feel very optimistic that
we will see some big changes as the
season progresses, the coach
added
Keep up the hard work boys!

Just before Christmas the boys
took on the Stanley County Buffa-
los and got their first win of the
season.
Throughout the game I thought
our defense played great, said
head coach Mark Reiman. We
started to move really well together
in both our zone and man defense.
Reiman said Kenar VanderMay
had the hot hand for the team and
the boys did a nice job finding him.
Kenar ended the game with 27
points. Logan Christensen put in
10, Lane Pattersen connected on a
three-pointer, Aage Ceplecha and
Wyatt Enders put in 2 apiece and
Chris Anderson added a free throw.
The Kougars were 10/14 from
the line with VanderMay making
7/8.
As a team, the Kougars had 9
fouls.
It was nice to see the boys put-
ting quarters together for the win,
Reiman added.

VanderMay was once again the

Andersen had 2. The team was
3/10 from the line.
South Central three players in

REGULAR MEETING
MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 12,
2012
The Town Board of Interior met on Sep-
tember 12, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at Cowboy
Corner. Board Members present were
Allen Grimes, Sue Leach and Kelly For-
tune. Also present were Galen Liver-
mont, Chris Haines from SPN, John
Powell, Cliff McClure and Linda Liver-
mont.
Minutes for the 8/8/12 regular meeting
were approved as read.
OLD BUSINESS: An update on the la-
goon was given. All the sewer pipe is in;
RCS will pump into the new lagoon and
complete the wetland structure. SPN is
pleased with the construction; there has
been good progress and communication
with the contractor. Nathan with SPN has
been trying to minimize his hours on the
project and is taking some hours off dur-
ing the day. Progress payment request
#1 was discussed. Kelly made a motion,
seconded by Allen to approve Progress
Payment #1 to RCS Construction. Mo-
tion passed. Five copies were signed, 2
for CSDED, 1 for SPN, 1 for RCS with
the payment, and 1 for the town. SPN re-
ceived a letter from RCS Construction re-
questing a 30 day extension on the
project due to water constraints. Chris
stated that it would cost the town approx-
imately $11,000 for a 14 day extension
for contract supervision. He will check
into the extension. Request tabled to a
later date. There was discussion on the
damage on the access road through the
rodeo grounds. The contractor will re-
seed the area after the project is com-
pleted. Linda will give Ron Twiss a copy
of the easement with WREA that needs
to be signed for the power lines installa-
tion.
NEW BUSINESS: John Powell pur-
chased land and will be putting a house
on the lot. Utilities will be moved 30 feet
to the house site. He requested permis-
sion to have a few goats, chickens and a
steer on the land. Motion by Kelly, sec-
onded by Allen to give permission for
John Powell to have goats, chickens and
a steer on his land. Motion passed. John
was reminded that flies will have to be
kept under control per town ordinances.
The town board agreed to cook for the
fire school hosted by IVFD September
23rd. There will be a social Saturday
night at the Wagon Wheel. Linda will
check supplies and order meat, buns,
chips and lemonade. We need to plan for
150 people. IVFD has staked out a 60 x
100 building on the new site. Some type
of drainage or a culvert will have to be put
in when the dirt work is done for the build-
ing. Cliff is working on getting bids on the
concrete and the building. He would like
the Town to consider making on offer on
the old fire hall, with or without the stor-
age garage when possible. A meeting on
the Hazard Mitigation Plan will be Octo-
ber 17 at 7:00 p.m. at the Kadoka Fire
Hall. FEMA is requiring all counties to
have a hazard plan in case of a disaster.
The plan needs to be in place in case
funding is available for things like a public
address system.
The astronomy festival at the park was
discussed. Everyone agreed the Town
and fire department should participate in
it next year. Linda showed a banner sim-
ilar to the one the park would like to hang
in town and it was agreed to go in with
the park and do that also. A construction
dumpster will be ordered for use by town
residents. It was agreed to keep Mitch
trapping skunks for a while longer. If it
rains, it was approved to smooth and
gravel the road by Shirley Carlsons.

The Sculpture Project: Passage of
Wind and Water is based on his ex-
perience of the beauty and power of
nature in the Black Hills and Bad-
lands of western South Dakota.
The artist will begin carving the
21 granite pieces at Main Street
Square this summer and is ex-
pected to complete the work within
three to five years, working on site
during the summer months.
The artists plans also include
community engagement activities,
beginning with community design
workshops later this month. The
workshops offer the public an op-
portunity to meet the artist, learn
about his design plans and con-
tribute ideas and inspiration.
Community design workshops
will be held at the Rapid City Li-
brary Main Branch meeting room
B, Jan. 29, 4 to 5 p.m. and at the
Dahl Arts Center Cyclorama room,
Feb. 2, 1 to 2 p.m. For a complete
list of workshops, visit rcsculpture-
project.com.
Nagase lives in Berkeley, CA,
with his artist wife, Michele Ku
and their daughter.
His most recent public art in-
stallations are at Portland State
University in Oregon, Little Sugar
Creek Greenway in Charlotte, NC,
and Centralia Community College
in Centralia, Wash. Masayuki Na-
gases public art appears in Col-
orado, Louisiana, Arizona, New
Mexico and California, as well as in
Japan, Chile and Europe.
A committee of arts and civic
leaders chose Nagase from an in-
ternational pool of 88 applicants
through a yearlong selection
process.
The committee was drawn to
Nagases beautiful, thought-pro-
voking design and the potential to
create a timeless sculptural legacy
for the Rapid City community, ac-
cording to Pepper Massey, execu-
tive director of the Rapid City Arts
Council, which manages the Dahl
Arts Center.
The sculpture project is an ex-
tremely important addition to the
arts and to the entire Rapid City
community, Massey said. Admis-
sion to the Dahl galleries is always
free and we hope everyone will
take advantage of this opportunity
to come by and learn about the
artist and his design for the proj-
ect.
The exhibit is sponsored by Des-
tination Rapid City, Wyss Associ-
ates Inc., and the John T.
Vucurevich Foundation.
For additional information con-
tact Anna Huntington, Community
Arts Coordinator with Destination
Rapid City, at 605-716-7979 or an-
nahuntington@gmail.com.
Masayuki Nagase, the artist se-
lected to carve the granite sculp-
tures in Main Street Square, will
present an exhibit of his past work
and selected design plans for the
downtown Rapid City project at the
Dahl Arts Center, from Jan. 11 to
Feb. 8.
An opening reception for the ex-
hibit, Friday, Jan. 11, 5 to 7 p.m.,
will allow the public to meet Na-
gase who was named the projects
artist last month.
Were very excited to introduce
Masayuki to the Rapid City com-
munity, said Destination Rapid
City President and CEO Dan Sen-
ftner. The exhibit at the Dahl will
communicate his style, both artis-
tic and personal. What a great op-
portunity to learn about the artist
and his work and find out why the
selection committee thought
Masayuki and his design are such
a perfect fit for our community.
The $2 million project is entirely
funded through a partnership be-
tween Destination Rapid City and
the John T. Vucurevich Foundation
and the largest privately funded
public art project in the United
States.
Nagase has worked as a stone
sculptor for over 30 years.
He said his work is inspired by
the essence of nature and natural
forms. His preliminary design for
Main Street Square granite sculptor
exhibit opens at Dahl Arts Center

CoCoRaHS Update
As a volunteer CoCoRaHS ob-
server, I recently received an e-
mail from one of the key people in
the CoCoRaHS (Community Col-
laborative Rain, Hail & Snow Net-
work) network, containing some
interesting information. He notes
that it has been 15 years since the
flash flood in Fort Collins, CO
(July 28, 1997) occurred that
started the volunteer rain gauge
network.
Since then it has been amazing
to watch CoCoRaHS grow and
spread. "Rain gauge champions"
have emerged in every state --
State Climate offices, National
Weather Service meteorologists,
and other weather/water profes-
sionals -- to help recruit and lead
the "citizen scientists" that make
the network function.
He relates some impressive sta-
tistics for the project. 3,600,000
daily precipitation reports were
submitted in 2012 (We finally
reached our goal of more than
10,000 reports per day and even
exceeded 11,000 reports per day on
several occurrences). Approxi-
mately 18,000,000 daily reports
have been submitted since the
project began. Also, 6,000 Signifi-
cant Weather Reports, 530,000
Daily Comments, 50,000 Multiday
Precipitation reports, 1,561
Drought Impact Reports, 11,484
Daily Evapotranspiration Reports
and 3,043 Hail Reports have been
submitted.
That is an incredible amount of
information that has been com-
piled for an almost entirely volun-
teer program. Like the individual
says, CoCoRaHS doesn't "just hap-
pen". They have a small but skilled
and enthusiastic staff that makes
the whole program tick. They cur-
rently receive support from NOAA
and the National Science Founda-
tion for the educational goals of
the project. In Colorado, several
water utilities provide annual sup-
port to maintain ongoing data col-
lection. And donations are
especially important as they work
to sustain CoCoRaHS.
One might take a quick look at
the CoCoRaHS website, www.coco-
rahs.org and think its interesting
to see where rain, hail or snow fell
around the country that day, but
what happens to all that informa-
tion? Granted, much of it never
gets looked at, but plenty of it
does, and the website is set up so
that any of the data can be easily
retrieved. I was asked earlier this
fall if I could provide somewhere
online that would show just how
little rainfall south-central SD had
received this summer. I immedi-
ately thought of CoCoRaHS and
the View Data feature.
For this article, I picked three
volunteer observer stations whose
reporters regularly report their
precipitation, one north of Vivian,
SD, my station here in Winner, SD,
and a station near Marion, SD,
also in a severely drought affected
area. Its quite remarkable that
from 7/1/2012 to 1/3/2013, those 3
stations received 2.42, 2.14 and
4.53 of precipitation. Thats dry.

A cornerstone of Gov. Dennis
Daugaards economic development
plan for South Dakota includes
building on South Dakotas compet-
itive advantage agriculture.
Over the past 18 months, the
Governor and South Dakota De-
partment of Agriculture (SDDA)
have been very engaged with the
agricultural community.
Knowing that agriculture is the
primary industry investing in our
rural communities, we have an op-
portunity to set the stage for the
next generation of livestock pro-
duction in South Dakota, said
state Secretary of Agriculture Walt
Bones. In human terms, its also a
dialogue about the next generation
of farmers and ranchers in our
state.
The Governors Coordinated
Livestock Development Initiative
has four goals.
Goal No. 1 is to communicate
South Dakotas vision for livestock
production. Starting this month,
SDDA will hold forums across the
state to discuss the challenges and
advantages of livestock develop-
ment in South Dakota. Dates;
times can be found here.
South Dakota has progressive,
forward-thinking entrepreneurs
who understand the exciting poten-
tial of todays agri-business mar-
ketplace, Bones said. Were
continuing the conversation about
the challenges and advantages
South Dakota has to increase the
number of livestock in our state.
The second goal is to support a
local presence for agricultural de-
velopment. SDDA congratulates
and supports the efforts of the First
District Association of Local Gov-
ernments in gathering site-ready
locations for livestock development
in Moody, Grant and Brookings
counties.
Goal No. 3 is to provide re-
sources and training for South
Dakota livestock producers. SDDA
is providing support and services to
producers through collaborative
training opportunities and updated
livestock development checklists.
The final goal is to explore ways
to embrace local control when it
comes to livestock development.
We have listened to the concerns
expressed by townships and coun-
ties, Secretary Bones said. Their
issues have been heard.
SDDA is currently working with
legislators, industry stakeholders
and local governments on ways to
support and be a resource for live-
stock development.
Our livestock producers are
held to a high standard, Bones
said. With abundant feed, water,
affordable land, processing capabil-
ities and a favorable business cli-
mate, we think there is no better
place to be in livestock production.
We look forward to helping our cur-
rent and new livestock producers,
and we appreciate the demand
they create for our grains and for-
ages.
Agriculture is South Dakota's
No. 1 industry, generating nearly
$21 billion in annual economic ac-
tivity and employing more than
80,000 South Dakotans. The South
Dakota Department of Agricul-
ture's mission is to promote, pro-
tect, preserve and improve this
industry for today and tomorrow.
