Jackson County Sheriff Department, Kadoka Ambulance and Kadoka Fire Department doesnt want the class of 2013 going out in a crash. Joining forces, these agencies conducted a mock crash at Kadoka Area High School on Wednesday, May 1. The mock crash was aimed to send a hard-hitting reminder of the dangers and consequences of unsafe driving behaviors such as drinking, texting and driving and not buckling up. The mock crash used real crashed vehicles set up and student participants to dramatically act out roles as crash victims. The schools entire student body watched the demonstration and learned how emergency responders conduct rescue efforts in real-time. The mock scene was set with the driver of the vehicle texting and driving. The passengers of the car were drinking and not wearing their seat belts. The driver veered

Mock crash impacts Kadoka school Hardware store welcomes new owners students with a powerful message

The scene of the crash... passenger ejected, driver pinned in the car and two passengers injured. --photos by Rhonda Antonsen Fire Departments play in keeping our community safe. They also wanted to remind parents, grandparents and caregivers about the importance to talk with their teen to reinforce teen driving laws, and to set their own family driving rules. Mock crashes are a dramatic presentation to educate teenagers about the true consequences of poor driving decisions, said EMT Jackie Stilwell. When students see their friends and peers injured, carried out and loaded into an ambulance, and another being covered with a blanket because they died from their injuries, it hits home. Its a strong message that aims to influence their driving choices, especially at such a potentially dangerous time on the road. The Sheriff s Department, Kadoka Ambulance and Kadoka Fire Department are urging parents to talk to their teen about the dangers and consequences of underage drinking, texting and driving and encourage them to always buckle up to keep them safe. Parents should also reinforce teen driving laws such as belt use, passenger limitations, nighttime driving, no cell phone use and no texting (including when stopped in traffic). It is so important that parents talk to their teen drivers and establish rules for the road. Just because a teen has their license does not mean they are experienced, safe drivers. Parents must stay involved with a teens driving just as they do with their grades, athletics and other activities. Students helping witht the mock accident were Taylor Merchen, True Buchholz, Myla Pierce, Shane Ring, Jadyn Coller and Jarred Coller. Traffic Crashes Leading Cause of Teen Deaths

Open for business, Fromms Hardware & Plumbing owners Brian and Jessi Fromm. With spring upon us, we welcome all the possibilities of what lies ahead. A new beginning brings with it a sense of renewed hope for the upcoming future. This same idea can be seen on Main Street in Kadoka. May 1 brought a new beginning for one young couple and the local hardware store here in Kadoka. Brian and Jessi Fromm officially took over as the new owners of the Hardware Hank store. Brian and Jessi are the daughter and son-inlaw of Bill and Sheryl Bouman of Kadoka. The couple also have two daughters. Before coming to Kadoka, the couple lived and worked in Pierre, South Dakota. Jessi will continue to work as the business manager for Stanley County School until the end of June, and Brian, who is a licensed plumber, worked for a company that installed heating and plumbing in schools, and various businesses. He has built Wal-Marts and recently installed a new heating system in the Timberlake School. Brian and Jessi have many new ideas and plans for their new busi-

ness. The new business will be called Fromms Hardware and Plumbing. Brian is a licensed contract plumber. He looks forward to serving the needs of their customers. One major change will be a reset of the store. The couple will be working with the Stars Program through United which is the main distributor for Hardware Hank. The Stars Program will assist them by going over the inventory in the store and advising them as to what they really need in the store. The program will instruct Brian and Jessi as to where certain items should be displayed in the store. Once this is done, a reset of the store will be done. They anticipates that the entire reset should be finished by the end of August. Another exciting addition to their business will be the new paint system. The system will be a computerized system that can scan any color swatch whether it is a piece of clothing, material, or any thing else as long as the item to be scanned is at least the size of a nickel. This system will give painters a more accurate color match for their projects. Along with Joy Schmidt and Diane Hogen, Fromms would also like to welcome Hayli Mayfield to their store. These ladies have been busy making up Mothers Day baskets and displaying some of the new items in the store. Jessis mom, Sheryl Bouman, will be displaying some of her hand crafted furniture within the store as well. With all the changes taking place, the one thing Brian and Jessi would like their customers to know is that they are dedicated to serving their customers and all their needs. So, the next time your in town or passing by take a moment to say Hi and welcome Brian and Jessi to the community.

The passenger in the front seat was ejected from the car and struck the pole. Fireman Dave Ohrtman played the 911 call over the loudspeaker to give students an idea what an actual 911 call would sound like as it came across the radio. First responders arrived on the scene minutes after receiving the call. Mr. Ohrtman commentated while the EMTs and fire department worked on aiding the crash victims. Jackson County Deputy Sheriff Dallas Kendrick talked to the students about the consequences that could occur if this were a real-life situation. The Jackson County Sheriff s Department, Kadoka Ambulance and Kadoka Fire Department staged the event to remind students and the community the important role our EMTs and

After many months of preparation, Gary Ambur (L) of BankWest, JoBeth Uhlir of Jackson-Kadoka Economic Development Corp., Jessi and Brian Fromm, Mandy Kuipers of BankWest, and LeJena Gruis of SD Governors Economic Office were pleased when the financial documents were finalized and signed.

Fourth grade hosts Pioneer Supper

EMTs tend to the injuried driver, while firemen are ready to Fireman use the jaws of life to extricate the crash victims. assist with transport.

On Wednesday, May 1 the Kadoka Area Fourth graders had their annual Pioneer Supper with over 250 people in attendance. The supper was served by the fourth grade students who were dressed as pioneers. The parents also helped to make sure everything ran smoothly. The bars and cornbread were donated by parents and Amy Smiley and her students made the chili. Ken Graupmann also helped with putting everything together. Following the supper, the Long Valley students did readings about Laura Ingalls Wilders life. The Kadoka students did a play written by Janis Allen-Perkins, featuring a

history of the Brown family history. At the conclusion of the play, descendants of the Brown family were asked to stand and be recognized. The fourth graders will travel to

DeSmet, SD, on Wednesday, May 18, where they will visit the Homestead of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the Prehistoric Indian Village, and Laura Ingalls Wilder Society. The night was a great success.

Oh for a memory like dear old mom's

In growing up one of the outstanding things in my relationship with my mother had to do with her memory. She could remember everything. All I had to do was ask dear old mom and she knew the answer. She knew everything. No matter the topic, she had an opinion about it, which truly amazed me as a young person. Before I went to school, my mother was my entire world. From the time I got up in the morning until she tucked me in bed at night, she was the master of my world. Whatever I could do, she was the one who allowed me to do it. Looking back, I can remember when my father got home from work in the evening he gave my mother a little break from looking after me and my brother and sister. If memory serves me correctly, my father watched us by lying on the couch snoring. I never could figure out how he could do that but it was his way of watching us and helping mom. As a young person, anything I wanted I had to requisition it from dear old mom. The thing that always amazed me was that she always had what I needed. I have often wondered how she could do that. But then, she was mom. My weekly allowance came from my mother. It took me a long time to realize the money for my allowance came from my father. I always believe mom had all the money there was. I remember coming home from the second grade with homework to do that just baffled me. All I had to do was ask mom and she could explain it to me like nobody else could. Mothers are like that. They know everything and remember everything. What my mother knew only my mother could know. It was as if she could read my mind. It was as if she had eyes in the back of her head. It was so bad that I could not get away with anything. Believe me; I tried very hard to get away with something. For some reason my mother knew what I was going to do days before I actually thought about doing it. I am not sure who is credited with designing the first memory board for computers, but I know who designed the memory board for people. I firmly believe that mothers were the first computer designed and wired by God. Why in the world do you think they call it the "motherboard?" It is no accident that they come up with this term. My mother had a tremendous memory. This is the difference between mothers and fathers. Mothers cannot forget anything and fathers cannot remember anything. Together they make an invincible team for raising children. It was not until I became a teenager that a little click developed between my mother and me. I began to realize that my memory did not always harmonize with hers on some issues. As I got older, the harmony was less and less. For example. My mother would tell me, "You must be home by 10 o'clock." At least, that is what she said she told me after the fact. When I came in at 11 o'clock, she reminded me of what she told me. For the life of me, I could not remember her telling me to be home by 10 o'clock. "I told you to clean up your room." Searching my memory board, I could not find any indication that she told me this. I am not saying that she did not; I am just saying that our memories did not coincide on a variety of issues when I became a teenager. What struck me about my mother was she could remember conversation she had with me three years ago word for word. As I get older, I began to doubt the accuracy of her memory. The problem with that was, I had no memory of anything and so I had to rely upon her memory. Now that I am a parent, it is apparent to me that memory is a rather funny thing. I am not sure that my mother was in this category, but my memory is of such a nature that I can remember things that never took place. Not only that, I can describe it in detail. As a teenager I remember coming into the room and my mother sitting there looking out the window with a little smile on her face. "What are you thinking about?" She just looked at me, smiled and said, "Oh, I was just remembering some things." Then she turned and looked out the window again and I left her to her memories. In celebrating Mother's Day, I cannot help but think of the many wonderful memories each mother cherishes. Their children will always be children. No matter how old their children get, they will always be their little babies. Memory is a delightful thing and sometimes can be very selective. I am sure, when a mother engages in the fine art of memory, they are all good memories. Solomon was probably thinking about his mother when he wrote, "Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all" (Proverbs 31:2829 KJV). You cannot put a price on a good memory.

The moth into the flame

Why does the US have the most expensive health care system in the world? What is inflammation? New ways to turn off Inflammation have revolutionized the treatment of arthritis and other illnesses, which begs the question. Coming from the Latin words "into the flame," like what bonfire sitters observe the moth doing on a summer night, inflammation is a natural phenomenon that can be harmful and almost evil. But there is much more to this story. During the summers of my first four years of medical school, I was honored to spend time with the doctors of the Bartron Clinic in Watertown, where they generously provided an educational experience for me. I realize now at that level of training, how little help I was to any of them, but how much help their wisdom would eventually be to me. One highlight on inflammation and the history of medicine came from pediatritian Dr. Ebehardt Heinrichs. While we were examining a young child with acute arthritis, he pointed out on her hands the four physical findings famously described by Celsus, a Roman who lived at the time of Jesus. "These are the cardinal signs of inflammation: "rubor" (redness,) "tumor" (swelling,) "calor" (heat,) and "dolor" (pain,)" he said. A red, swollen, hot, and painful joint is not the only medical condition of inflammation I saw those Watertown summers. There were abscesses, appendicitis, tonsillitis, meningitis and sinusitis, all indicating benefits of the inflammatory response, where invading infections were fought off by the body's white-cell warriors. Also beneficial, we have recently learned that muscle growth comes as a result of a response to localized acute inflammation that follows exercise. Other new studies show that low-intensity training, like walking, can reduce destructive chronic inflammation. All-inall, our bodies are protected and even sculpted by the yin and yang of balanced and healthy inflammation. But seeing that young girl with arthritis, I realized there can be harm resulting from inflammation run amok. That summer in Watertown I also saw patients with asthma, poison ivy, psoriasis, Lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis; illnesses the result of too much inflammation. Add to this, now we've learned certain cancers grow because of inflammation. And now we have medicine that can turn off small and harmful targets of inflammation: cooling crippling arthritis, soothing devastating rashes, and even shrinking growing cancers. Rubor, tumor, calor, dolor... it can be a bad and a good thing!

Municipal officials meeting

More than 31 municipal officials representing five cities gathered at the South Dakota Municipal Leagues annual District 8 meeting, held in Murdo, Tuesday, April 30. Yvonne Taylor, South Dakota Municipal League executive director, spoke about the outcome of the 2013 legislative session, and the effect new laws will have on South Dakota municipalities. Taylor also discussed the direction and future of the Municipal League and services offered to the municipalities. More and more we are seeing the need to get better information out to the citizens and legislators. Municipal government provides a vast array of services, and people need to be informed of where their tax dollars are going. This type of education can only benefit municipal government. The taxpayers would be very proud of their local government if they were fully aware of how much service a municipality provides at a relatively low cost, Taylor said. Paul Young, SDML president for 2013 and Councilmember for the city of Spearfish, was also on hand to discuss his priorities for the current year as well as to conduct the election of District 8 officers for the upcoming year. Others in attendance were representatives of various state agencies and representatives of groups affiliated with the municipal league. Harry Weller, mayor in Kadoka, was re-elected as District 8 chair and David Geisler, mayor in Murdo, was elected as vice chair. In other business, those attending voted to hold the 2014 District 8 meeting in Philip.

Mary E. Jones, age 94, of Quinn, S.D., died Sunday morning May 5, 2013, at the Hans P. Peterson Memorial Hospital in Philip.

Read 1 Peter 1:22 If we responded simply out of natural impulses, we would probably be nice when people were kind. At other The Blessing of Loving Others times, though, wed most likely be vengeful, angry, or hurtful. Yet Jesus clearly teaches us to love even when the people around us seem unlovable. And He lived out what He taught: Christ loved us enough to die for us while we were still sinners (Rom. 5:8). Surely, by acting out of His strength and with gratitude for what He did, weHis followerscan love others (1 John 3:14). While it can certainly be challenging to respond to unkindness with love, such godly behavior can lead to great blessing. First, the Father is pleased; this realization should bring His children joy, peace, and a sense of accomplishment. Next, believers ought to feel excitement and anticipation to watch how God will move in the relationship. Finally, there will be an awareness that the Holy Spirit is working from within, enabling divine love to flow through yielded human lives. John 13:35 tells of another important benefit: Jesus said, By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. Since unconditional godly love is uncommon in our world, people will notice. Treating others the way that we want to be treated is what builds the deep, satisfying connections that all people desire. Without significant relationships, life lacks meaningregardless of how many possessions or acquaintances we may have. So think about the people you come in contact with throughout the week. Are you treating them in the way that Jesus modeled?

Its official. Francie Davis is now a college graduate, and she even has witnesses. The graduation ceremony was held at Black Hills State in Spearfish on Saturday. On hand to watch were Francies husband, Chad, and their three sons. Her dad and brother, Bob Fortune and Les, were also there, as were friends Terry Burns of Philip and Nancy Jeter of Rapid City. Since there were about 450 graduates, the ceremony lasted well over two hours. Afterwards, Nancy Jeter and her husband hosted a reception at their home in Rapid City. Francie started her college work some years ago and, after an eleven year break, decided to finish up. She probably wont be attending a lot of reunions, however, since she took her courses this year over the Internet and not actually at the college in Spearfish. As a result, she knows few of her classmates. Francies degree is called a Bachelor of General Studies. It is rather a loose description of the areas she has studied with original emphases on mass communication and English education. More recently she has concentrated on fine arts and social studies. She hasnt taken a lot of education courses that would make it so she could teach school locally, but those can be taken, also mostly online, if the need arises. Betty Kusicks house got a power washing this week. That was courtesy of her daughter and son-inlaw, Loretta and Lawrence Schreiber, of Quinn. It was in preparation for a painting party which will probably take place this coming week and will involve various family members. On Sunday, Betty talked with her son, Harold, on the phone to help him celebrate his birthday. He is getting fairly close to sixty but isnt quite there. Larry Grimme was visited this weekend by Jim Terkildson of Wanblee. Jim helped plow the greenhouse and garden areas in preparation for planting. Larry bought some Early Girl tomato plants recently when he was in Yankton, but its a bit early to plant them yet since the night-time temps have been dropping into the lower twenties. He can plant a bit earlier in the greenhouse but hasnt done that just yet. Dorothy Blom sent a message over the Internet via E-mail to correct an item in last weeks news. Dorothys birthday last week was her ninetieth and not her ninetyfifth. She did say she was thankful that she could still live in her own home and do her favorite things like gardening. Dorothy is also one of the few of her generation that uses a computer and keeps in touch with people through it. She is even on Facebook complete with pictures of her son, her flower beds, and some friends and relatives. Kolette Bitting continues to work on her new home at the ranch. She moved there in October and has been doing this and that to get settled in. With the coming of spring, she hopes to get some dirt hauled into her yard and leveled etc. She has no plans for a garden this year, but she has recently acquired eleven barred-rock baby chicks that she hopes will eventually provide eggs. She got the chicks courtesy of Cathy Ireland who had ordered a bunch of chicks for herself and just got a few extra for Kolette. Cathy kept them with hers for a month so Kolette just got them a few days ago. The move was necessary since Cathy had ordered Cornish Rock for butchering, and those were already about three times as big as Kolettes layers. Kolette said they are about done with calving now but a few stragglers. Besides having 150 Cornishrock chicks that will need butchering before very long, Cathy and Howie Ireland are doing their normal things. Howie has been running mail for Sanftners for a while now, and Cathy has been running the kitchen at the nursing home in Kadoka. Cathy said her garden plans are uncertain as of yet although she will almost certainly have some tomatoes and cucumbers. Night-time temperatures, drought, hoppers and such will help determine how much else is attempted and when. Les Huber continues to split his time between his places in Belvidere and Rapid City. In Rapid City, he has fourteen acres east of town with Rapid Creek running through it. On Sunday, he was hanging some metal gates there in a fencing project. He has also planted some little pine trees both there and at Belvidere. They are about four-feet tall. Back in February and March, Les and crew spent time in Williston, ND, in painting an addition to the water-treatment plant there. The oil boom in that area has increased the population and the need for water. The water is taken from the nearby Missouri River and purified. He said there is a lot of energy in the Williston area due to all the oil workers and the expansion so it is an interesting place to be for a while. At present, Les has some painting projects in Rapid City with some in Pierre coming up. He does some trucking as well. He hopes to spend quite a bit of time in Belvidere this summer where he likes to tinker on equipment in his big shed and do the other things he enjoys. Frank Carlson said the branding season is now well underway. He helped John Solon with his branding at Weta this week and Mansfields with theirs on Sunday. On Friday, he went to Ft. Pierre for Craig Mowrys bull sale and came home with three new bulls. Toni had to work at the post office so she couldnt go along that day. Jim and Aaron Mansfield held their branding on Sunday. Michelle said they had an awesome crew and things went really well. There was quite a bit of cooking needed to feed the 35 to 40 people who came to help, and Fayola and Michelle kept fairly busy all day with meal preparation and cleanup. Michelles folks didnt come for branding this year as they often do since they were in Atlanta at the time visiting Michelles brother and family. Michelle has two more weeks of school before summer vacation. School is done on the 17th with graduation will follow.

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it. William James Monday, the Area VII CFEL Extension Club meeting was hosted by the Norris Extension Club at the Township Hall. Twenty ladies from Tripp and Mellette counties were in attendance including the State President Cheryl Cleppent from Wessington Springs. Her husband, Myron, brought her out. Myron spent the day with Bruce Ring and the twosome also enjoyed the dinner at the hall. The Norris Club served rolls in the morning and a delicious roast beef dinner to the group. A silent auction and cultural arts contest were also held. Jessie Rings daughter, Sybil, from Cresco, Iowa, was also a guest. Jean Kary and her daughter, Cookie, also arrived from Kansas for the meeting. The guest speaker was Donna Adrian and she gave a lesson on Xeroscape gardening. Donna also presented everyone with plants at the close of the lesson. Everyone enjoyed getting together after our stormy April weather this last month so it made for a very enjoyable day. Track meets, high school rodeos and graduations have kept Carol Ferguson busy recently running local post offices in the surrounding area. She has been working in Belvidere, Wanblee and Norris since the regular employees had some events to attend. She has worked seven days in the past two weeks, twice in two different offices on the same day. Tuesday, Sharon Ring took her grandsons, Jeremy and Tyler, to the Long Valley track meet. Sharon was among the many parents from this area spending the day cheering on the sidelines. That is always one of the biggest days at the end of the school year. Beau Heinert helped Ed Ferguson repair a tractor on Tuesday morning. Ed and Carol went from Rapid City to Winner on business on Wednesday. Thursday afternoon, June Ring hosted the Lutheran Ladies Aid meeting in her home. Deb Ring of Spearfish came home Friday for the weekend. She was kept busy helping work in the yard. Friday, Marjorie Anne Letellier accompanied Julie Leteller to Sunshine Bible Academy. The gals enjoyed attending the grade school track and Bible day where Jace, Jade, Jakki and Jimmy Burma all took part. They had over a hundred students from across the state taking part in the different events in their age groups. Beaver Burma broke the school record for the 6th grade 100 yard dash that day.

Learning to Cope
Ive become very adept in the last month at stifling sneezes. Theres a good reason for that. If I sneeze, you see, my back goes into a nasty spasm that tends to take my breath away. In other words, Ive been coping with one of those times when the back decides to realign itself or when some nerve gets pinched. I dont know exactly what happens, but the result is a need for cautious movement for several weeks. This is usually a four to six week deal according to past experience, but it is usually worst the first week and then gradually subsides. I havent had one of these back affairs for several years now so I guess it was time to sharpen my coping skills. Back when I was in high school and college, I would sometimes get muscle spasms in my neck. I really hated those since they tended to make me walk around with my head held rather stiffly and to one side. Muscle-relaxant pills helped quite a bit, but I havent bothered with those this time around. The back problem is more a dull ache than an active pain except, of course, if I cough too hard, sneeze, or bend just wrong. Anytime something hurts, you have to learn, sometimes the hard way, how to act to keep the misery at a minimum. With bad backs, you quickly realize that you shouldnt just bend over and pick something up off the floor. Instead, you might kneel down on one knee to retrieve the item from way down there. It often seems like you lose hold of a lot more things when picking them up takes caution. Maybe you always drop lots of stuff and dont notice because you can just lean over and retrieve it without much thought. On the other hand, maybe moving circumspectly tends to make you klutzy so you drop more. Who knows? In the last week, Im glad to say, I can again just lean over and grab without much thought and maybe I can also sneeze again without major spasms, but Im going to give that a bit more time before testing the waters, so to speak. I know I can cough harder now without trouble than I could a month ago, but sneezes are a bit more extreme. We humans, as you know, have to learn how to cope with all sorts of things. I know several people who always have some back pain and have for years. Others have difficulty with arthritis, gastric distress, poor vision, bad joints, and what not. There are other hard things to deal with as well such as kids gone wrong or spouses that act badly. Some people cant escape addictions or adequately see what consequences some of their actions will have. There is no end of those matters we have to fight to keep them from taking us down. Son Chance, Im sad to say, has had more than his fair share of difficulties to deal with. For starters, autism causes many problems. In part, that is because your senses are all so extreme that one is bombarded with too much input. When your senses of hearing, sight, smell, touch and taste are too well developed, the input is excessive. You have to learn how to block some of that and protect yourself. Chance has developed his defenses enough that he can still be a sweet guy and stay mostly happy, but some of those defenses inhibit what he can do for himself. He needs a lot of care as a result. But, as I said, hes a very nice fellow so his parents dont object to helping him live as good a life as possible. On top of the autism, Chance also has myasthenia gravis which is a fairly nasty condition too. In this, the body produces antibodies that interfere with messages from the brain to the muscles and make prolonged movement difficult. Even the medicines needed to keep myasthenia under control cause problems of their own such as sores that take forever to heal. Still, we think an awful lot of our son and will try to keep him with us as long as possible. Just watching his constant but good-natured struggle is an inspiration to those of us who have so much less to complain about. By the way, in case you sometime need to stifle a sneeze, heres what Ive learned. The first line of defense is closing off the nostril that is starting to itch. This is done by laying one finger aside of the nose like Santa Claus does in the old poem. He probably does that to prevent sneezes caused by all the soot in the chimneys hes popping up and down in. If that doesnt quite do it, simply quit breathing altogether (briefly of course.) After the itch subsides, you should probably blow your nose to keep things under control down the line. Thats how its done. Fortunately, I shouldnt have to worry a lot about sneezing in the near future, but now I know how to prevent it. After reading this, so do you, but hopefully youll never need to find out if I know what Im talking about.

Gov. Daugaard honors states top seniors

Kwincy Ferguson (L) received an acdemic excellence award from Gov. Daugaard in Pierre. Gov. Dennis Daugaard joined in celebrating an accomplished group of graduating seniors and encouraged them to grow their own roots in South Dakota during the 23rd Annual Academic Excellence Banquet in Pierre on April 30. Some of the greenest pastures in America are right here in South Dakota, Gov. Daugaard said, noting the low cost and high quality of living South Dakota offered. Hosted by the Associated School Boards of South Dakota and sponsored by the South Dakota Community Foundation and Citibank, the banquet honored more than 200 students from the states public, private and tribal schools. Today we celebrate excellence and this is what it looks like, ASBSD President Pam Haukaas of the Colome Consolidated school district said. Schools are asked to identify one student for every 100 graduating seniors based on academic criteria, such as grade-point average and scores on college readiness tests. Parents and high school principals are requested to join each student and share in the celebration. An impassioned Gov. Daugaard urged students to show their appreciation for the dedication of those closest to them as he reminisced about his parents commitment to be there for him. Remember all the people who got you here, Gov. Daugaard said. Remember that they love you.

Front row, 2nd place, McKenna McIlravy, Philip; 1st place, Gracie Fitzgerald, Philip. Fifth and sixth grade American Legion essay winners were Eve Patterson (L) second place and Jarred Hicks first place. The title of the essay was What Freedom Do I Enjoy the Most? --by Jarred Hicks What freedom do I enjoy the most? My favorite freedom is bearing arms. I like to have arms for enhunting, and tertainment, protection. My number one, favorite reason for owning a gun is to go out to the wide open South Dakota plains and have fun trying to shoot the destructive prairie dog. I said trying because most of the time I cant hit the broad side of a barn. Just think youre bored, and instead of sitting in front of the T.V. roasting your brain, you could go and shoot targets, varmints and have the best time ever. My second reason for bearing arms is for hunting wildlife. Hunting is really fun and takes place in the great outdoors. You can fill your tag and explore and have fun going out in to the country. For example you get two big mule deer rifle tags and you cant fill them without a rifle. My final reason is for protection of your home, family, and animals. Just stop and think, youre walking along and you hear a rattle snake start buzzing. You cautiously look down, and it is on the end of your toes. All you have to do is take a colt revolver pistol and shoot the scare the slimy thing. Guns hurt people. No, No, No, have you ever seen a gun jump off the shelf, put a shell in, and shoot at someone. That is why my favorite freedom in wide open Kadoka, SD, plains is bearing arms and I am proud of it.

--by Eve Patterson The freedom I take pleasure in the most is the freedom to own land. Without owning farm land how would people produce grains that are used to make food? If everyone grows food, there will be enough to eat. Farming Americans are like little ants helping each other and working together. If we dont own grass covered lands, what would our livestock eat? Long ago the pilgrims provided for their livestock. When the pilgrims came to the colonies, they worked very hard to make America a great nation. The men did the field and livestock work, while the women did the cooking, cleaning, and the house work. Sometimes the women would also help the men in the fields. The Native Americans showed the pilgrims how to grow crops and keep food fresh over time. The pilgrims and the Native Americans have given us great ideas on which we can build and continue to provide for our great nation. The freedom to own land and grow vegetables, will keep our great nation healthy. If we dont keep our country healthy, we could become a society that is lazy, fat, and lacks nutrition. We want to be a proud country. Why would we want to own land and do all the work? Why cant we eat junk food and be lazy? Why cant we have slaves? Fact: Abraham Lincoln made a law against slavery. Fact: if we eat junk food, we wont be healthy and would look like a very disappointing country. If we dont have any land or work to do, what would we have? What would we do other than be languid, gazing at the T.V. or consuming chips? Owning land and doing work is the freedom I enjoy the most. Veterans... The Apple of Our Eye by Jessica Enders We have adopted a soldier. We send him things. I like to give him things. He helps save our lives. They saved people from the war. Some are alive and some are not. They helped people in the war. They helped build houses. They saved our country. They protect the citizens. Veterans protect our freedom. We celebrate veterans every day.

I am glad they are fighting for me And thank them fighting for every one I would thank them for fighting for me Proud soldiers that fight for me. Veterans... The Apple of Our Eye by Fred Waters Men and women dreaming about it My brother is getting fit so he can join it, The military that can be scary, Veterans are the apple of my eyes.

Do you like to sing at church? The freedom of religion is the freedom I enjoy the most. I can attend the church of my choice or not attend church at all. If I dont like a church I can travel and go to a different one. In our country, the government cant pay for a church because we have separation of church and government. If the government ran our churches everyone would have to go to the church the government told us too. Instead we can be happy with the churches we have. Also the government cant favor one church over the others. If they did, that church could get money from the government to help pay for that church. If one church got money and the others didnt, it would not be fair. In the United States, the government doesnt build our churches, the people build the churches. If the church are too small for all of its people, they can add on or build a whole new church without asking the government first. I love churches and I am glad we have them in our country, because they are so special to me. --by TJ Hamar What freedom do I enjoy the most? Have you ever thought of the freedoms? I have. I will tell you about my favorite freedom; the freedom of speech. The freedom of speech is all around us. I like the freedom of speech because you can say things about our elected officials and you dont get thrown in jail. In other countries you may not be able to disagree with the government officials without getting in trouble. Many people that do speak out and are put in jail. I also like the freedom of speech because you can disagree with other people and ideas. You can voice your opinions freely and you wont get in trouble. You also dont get what you want all the time, but sometimes enough people agree with your opinion and changes are made. I like the freedom of speech because you can choose to share your ideas or not. Sometimes I want to share my ideas and sometimes I may not. This is my choice, not someone elses. We have many freedoms, but my favorite freedom is the freedom of speech. What is yours?

Arbor Day poem and poster winners

In honor of Arbor Day, Kadoka Area fifth grade students submitted poems and posters to share their ideas about the important impact trees have in our daily lives. Taking top honors in the poem division was Cee Cee ODaniel with her poem entitled Early Spring. In the poster division, Katie Reddest received first place with her poster entitled Trees are Terrific in Cities and Towns!

In early spring the lifeless trees start to rapidly grow The many people carefully soap them to keep away the hungry doe We walk through the flowery meadow To see the fruit trees sprouting flowers The bright red fruit that will be on the trees Will be painfully sour One famous person who planted these wonderful, towering trees Is the one and only adventurous Johnny Appleseed He faithfully planted tree seeds in every treeless place

By Cee Cee ODaniel

Early Spring

Sewing his torn, buckskin bag with brown, skinny lace If it werent for him, everywhere would be treeless and slightly dim With no sprouting trees to be miraculously found There would just be tons of treeless, nonliving mounds Though Johnny did not plant them all We can thoughtfully plant the rest Then the plains will soon be green and flourishing, the best I guarantee that you will love planting these So come help plant like Johnny Appleseed And save the trees with me

Agriculture
Winner Regional Extension Center
Bob Fanning, Plant Pathology Field Specialist 605-842-1267 HOSTA Training SDSU will be hosting 4 Hazardous Occupation Safety Training in Agriculture (HOSTA) sessions this spring throughout South Dakota. HOSTA is a program which aims to educate South Dakota youth about the dangers associated with working on a farm or ranch. The law states that youth 14 to 15 years old must complete the HOSTA training to work on a farm or ranch for anyone other than their parents. Youth who are employed on their home farm exempt from the rule. When youth become 16 years of age, this law no longer applies. Youth who are working on their family farm are still encouraged to attend. Agricultural is the only industry in the U.S.A. that allows youth under the age of 16 to be considered a legal employee. That and the fact that Farming/ranching is considered one of the ten most dangerous jobs, it is evident that we must educate youth about dangers on farms and ranches for the safety of themselves and others. The number one way to prevent farm accidents is by educating about possible dangers and giving students the knowledge to asses a situation for hazards. For this reason, all youth ages 14-16 are strongly encouraged to attend. Dates and locations of the training will be: Brookings on May 28 at 10:00 a.m. in Ag Engineering building, room 125. Aberdeen on May 29 at 10:30 a.m. at the Aberdeen regional extension center Winner on May 30 at 10:00 a.m. at the Winner regional extension center Gettysburg on June 3 at 10:00 a.m. at the C&B operations John Deere dealership. All locations have a minimum requirement of 6 students pre-registered by Friday, May 24 at 4:00 p.m. If a location does not have six students pre-registered by the deadline, that session will be cancelled. Cost of the training is $25 per student. The safety training will consist of classroom instruction, and a driving test. Students are expected to study the 48 core tasks sheets prior to the classroom session. A written exam will be given over the 48 core task sheets, which must be passed with a minimum of 75% correct for the student to advance to the driving portion of the training. The task sheets can be found at: http://www.sdstate.edu/abe/extension/hosta/task-sheets/index.cfm To register for the HOSTA safety training course, contact Nic Uilk at Nicholas.uilk@sdstate.edu or (605)688-5675 or Candy Willms at (605)688-5141. Those attending the Winner training can also contact The Winner Regional Extension Center, 842-1267. Cedar Trees Turning Brown? Cedar trees are turning brown in south-central South Dakota. Much of the problem has been attributed to cedar bark beetles that are attacking trees that have been stressed from the drought. If trees are otherwise healthy, the trunks and larger branches can be sprayed with carbaryl or permethrin by June 1 to control the beetles. The effectiveness of insecticide applications on severely stressed trees is highly questionable. The map is populated with both FAA and AgNet weather stations, which can be clicked for up-to-date information at the site. More detailed information can be accessed by clicking Query, and then the weather station of your choice. Scab risk and probability, temperature, precipitation and humidity are shown for the previous week at that site.

Huffman finishes sixth at Medical Mutual Glass City Marathon in Toledo, Ohio
cial turf. It was very similar to that of the pre-historic Olympic games in Greece. It was a very emotional morning as there was a contribute to the bombings during the Boston Marathon, said Huffman. A plane flew overhead pulling a large flag commemorating the date of the bombings from this year. There was a moment of silence followed by a commemorative speech and round of applause. This really brought the runners and running family closer together. When the race started, I was running somewhere around the top 10. It was hard to figure out what place you were in exactly as there were some marathoners and halfmarathoners all starting at the same time. I figured I was running somewhere between 6-10, said Huffman. My goal was to get in the top 10 and possibly try getting into the top 5 in order to receive money. 1st place received $1,000 and all the way down to 5th which received $250. I was running with a group of guys all through the first 8 miles, until two of the guys turned to finish the half-marathon. The other guy and I ran together until mile 18 or 19 where I started to pull away from him. Somewhere in the 19th mile, another guy passed me and stayed about 100 yards ahead of me for the rest of the way. Little did I know that was for the number five spot and the $250. I was first in my age group which won me some small running items. I still ran a good race which is the fastest time since the Boston marathon two years ago. I credit this to my training partner Jase Kraft for pushing me all winter with some speed workouts. I could really tell that this helped out a lot, Huffman concluded.

Philip Drama Clubs Bubbas Revenge a country musical hit

A country western seance set to music? Shown encouraging the medium (no, hes a small) is Deb Smith as a deceased Honky Tonk Angel. As far away as possible is Bubba, played by Harlan Moos, who is the only one with the dreadful gift of being able to see her. The others are trying to communicate with their former Nashville partner and prove Bubba isnt such a loser. Shown from left are actors Barb Bowen, Mike Vetter, Ray Gibson and Maureen Palecek. --photo by Del BarThis year the Philip Drama Club will perform the country western musical Bubbas Revenge, a sequel to last years comedy musical Honky Tonk Angels. Local actors portray fictional and real life singers/songwriters, including Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and Billy Ray Cyrus. The plot is simple. Two friends and their husbands are going to visit their former Nashville singing partner for the opening of her world tour. It also happens to be her birthday, which is on Halloween. An accident of a mirror-ball falling on her turns the visit into a musical tribute, one in which her spirit becomes involved. The Honky Tonk Angels are reunited, for at least this show. The audience is encouraged to join in with the final numbers, which include Amazing Grace and Will the Circle be Unbroken. The musical comedy Bubbas Revenge is an evening of country music that will keep the audience involved, laughing, tapping their toes and singing along. See this week's advertisement in the Profit for show dates and times, as well as ticket information.

Interior School students win National Kids to Parks contest

To get ready for their campout next month, the students participated in an Explorers Program with Badlands Chief Ranger Casey Osback.They learned about search and rescue procedures, getting hands-on training in important outdoor skills that professional rangers rely on. "The Explorers Program allows kids to learn by doing," said Osback."We hope the memories they make today will inspire some of them to pursue careers in the parks.Ultimately, our work with these students is helping to create the next generation of park stewards." Interior middle school teacher Jennifer Van Pelt said, "The kids are so excited about this opportunity.It's a great culmination of our ongoing educational partnership with Badlands." The National Kids to Parks Day Contest is sponsored by the National Park Trust. The contest supports bringing students to parks for National Kids to Parks Day, an annual celebration that supports First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move Outside!" initiative. Winning schools around the country receive funding for one park experience, including school bus transportation, healthy snacks, park related fees, or supplies.

DENR recognizes West River/LymanJones for drinking water compliance

The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) announced today that the West River/Lyman-Jones public water system and the systems operation specialists have been awarded a Decade of Drinking Water Excellence Award. The award is for outstanding water system operations and environmental compliance with state drinking water standards for the past ten years. The systems operation specialists are Jake Fitzgerald, Michael Vetter, Ed Venard, Brandon Kinsley, Eddie Dartt, John Kramer, Steven Baker and Nicholas Konst. Many people turn on the tap in their home or office and take the clean, safe water that flows out for granted, and DENR Secretary Steve Pirner, but it takes highly trained, certified system operation specialists to make it happen every day. The operation specialists of the West River/Lyman-Jones have made it happen for not just one year, but for ten consecutive years. To qualify for the Decade of Drinking Water Excellence Award, public water systems and their system operation specialists had to meet all of the following requirements for the past ten consecutive years: compliance monitoring and reporting, drinking water standards, and certification requirements.

The estimated cost of drawing up the plans and completing the 404 permit would be $1,350.00. Derek McTighe also recommended contacting Doug Sherman with the S. D. Dept. of Transportation as the proposed project may affect SD Hwy. 44. Following discussion, the board requested information be presented by Brosz Engineering in writing at the May 13 th meeting. Discussion was held on the proposed plan of the National Park Service to construct a new visitors center for the Minuteman Missile Historical Site just north of I-90 Exit 131 on the west side of the Cottonwood Road.
