Badlands Ranch Bronc Ride & Stray Gathering

Seventh grade students from Kadoka, Long Valley and Interior.

Robyn Jones

The Annual Youth Range Day, sponsored by Jackson County Conservation District, was held September 11, 2013, at the Gene Williams ranch field day site, adjacent to the Badlands National Park. Sixty-four students along with teachers and chaperones from Interior, Kadoka, Long Valley, Philip and Wall schools attended the day-long range day event. In the words of ranch owner, Gene Williams, the purpose of the event for the local seventh graders is to provide the experience to learn about the prairie ecosystem, the basis for being able to make a living in this area. He also stated that this is true whether your family is in agriculture, tourism, or in any other business that supports the first two, it all boils down to the land is our host and how we treat it determines whether we will be able to stay or have to move on. The program, consisted of four one-hour long break-out sessions where students learned about the soil, the plants, the wildlife and the historical background of past peoples use of this area. The program presented by Kent Cooley, soil scientist with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), taught the students about one of our most important natural resources - soil. Students learned the difference between soil and dirt, where soil comes from and that it takes about 400 to 500 years to form an inch of topsoil in western South Dakota. They learned the three primary mineral particles (sand, silt and clay) in addition to the movement of water through clayey or sandy soil. The students were asked if they knew our state soil and informed that it was Houdek. The students also learned that the best way to protect soil from erosion is to keep the soil covered with plant residue. Milt Haar, ecologist at Badlands National

Park and Kiley Whited, range conservationist with the NRCS, presented a discussion on prairie plants of the area and how stocking rates for livestock are calculated. The students participated by taking part in clipping vegetation samples in groups and then using the results of these samples to work through a stocking rate exercise. There was also a question and answer session dealing with range plant identification and the importance of the native rangelands of the area. Students were rewarded for their participation and knowledge with the opportunity to win prizes related to the subject. The program put on by Josh Delger and Sarah Nevison, Badlands National Park, provided a lot of hands-on. They were able to actually handle and identify many different animal hides and skulls. Many students took a turn in lifting the 50 pound buffalo skull. They were also introduced to the workings of a ferret trap and tracking collar. Badlands National Park resource education staff presented sessions on Badlands paleontology and human history. Ed Welsh, staff paleontologist, showed students examples of fossils found in the Badlands region and discussed the geology and ancient landscapes associated with the animals that existed millions of years ago. Alison Shoup gave students the opportunity to discover how people lived in the area hundreds, even thousands, of years ago through archeological artifacts and practical tools made from parts of a bison. One example is a bison bladder being used as a water canteen. In the words of one of the students attending Thank you for a great start to the school year and I am looking forward to the rest of the year. One of the main priorities of the Jackson County Conservation District is education of area youth.

Taking second place in the stray gathering was the team of Lex Grooms (L), Michael Jones, Tyler Jones and Joe Pavlas.

The Badlands Ranch Bronc Ride & Stray Gathering was held on Saturday, September 21 at the Kadoka Buffalo Stampede Rodeo Arena. Taking first place in the ranch saddle bronc ride was Brooks Joneson of Rapid City; second place went to Rustin Bertram of Scenic; third place was Craig McKenzie of Murdo; and finishing in fourth place was Joe Pavlas of Belvidere. In the stray gathering the team of Cole Reinert of Wall, Luke VanderMay of Kadoka, Tim Nelson of Midland, and Colton McDaniel of Philip took first place. Taking second was the team of Lex Grooms of Sharps Corner, Michael Jones of Buffalo Gap, Tyler Jones of Kadoka, and Joe Pavlas. The team of Colton McDaniel, Cole Reinert, Tim Nelson, and Tyler Jones took third place. Fourth place went to the team of Michael Jones, Colton McDaniel, Joe Pavlas, and Randy Gugesberg of Custer.

Editorial
Office of the Governor | Gov. Dennis Daugaard
for a nap and was about half asleep. I tried to concentrate and finally told her it was spelled metzo since that is how its pronounced. She said that wasnt in the dictionary. Okay, try again. Finally it came to me, and I told her it was spelled mezzo. The sad thing was that she could have used that word in her game if the program would have accepted it by itself without being combined with another word such as soprano, but it wouldnt. It actually is a separate word although maybe in Italian instead of English so there you are. Those are the breaks. Another area that can boggle the mind is electronic equipment. When you have to trade your old cell phone for a new one, its going to take awhile to learn how to adapt to the changes. Technology proceeds so quickly that its hard to keep up. The same applies to a new computer. I recently replaced a small laptop computer and had to spend quite a long time getting used to where everything was on the replacement. It had the latest operating system with which I wasnt familiar. Even the wordprocessing program had been updated and improved to the point where it was hard to figure out. I grumbled my way through it, but it took a while. So, confusion is unfortunately not uncommon with most of us. We just have to muddle through part of the time. Now, though, you know how to answer the question, Where are you? You can just reply, In a state of confusion. It may not be a definitive answer, but at least its truthful.

Lookin Around | Syd Iwan

State of Confusion
What state are you in? I inquired. My sister, Pat, and her husband, Gary, were currently calling from their car somewhere on the road in the southeast. They hemmed and hawed a bit trying to figure it out and finally Gary said, Were in the state of confusion. This brought a guffaw from my end of the conversation, of course, since Pat and Gary are fairly mobile people, and I often have trouble figuring out exactly where they are at any given time. I was somewhat in hopes that they at least knew where they were even if I didnt. Eventually they did decide that they were currently in Kentucky, having just come from Tennessee. They had also recently been in Ohio, a Carolina or two, a Virginia or two etc. The purpose of their trip this time was for Gary to attend a board meeting of Child Evangelism Fellowship which is an organization that leads Bible schools and related activities in various homes across the country. This is an international group, and sometimes the board meetings are in such places as Africa. If you get slightly confused about the geography of the United States, try to figure Africa. The countries there change their names at the drop of a hat, and very few are anything like you learned them in geography class. Well, from my understanding, Pat and Gary are currently heading back to Ohio where they left their airplane due to poor weather. They had rented a car and driven to the meeting in South Carolina since flying was not in the cards. From Ohio, they hope to fly to Warrington, Missouri and help at the Child Evangelism headquarters there for a bit before flying back to South Dakota. There is some hope Ill be able to figure out where they are for a while once they get back to Missouri, but nothing is certain. Maybe, or maybe not. Time will tell. As you know, confusion is fairly common with us humans, and most of us have areas where we arent very sure of ourselves. For instance, if you ask me if something is east or west, my answer is apt to be fairly reliable. If you inquire about north and south, there is only a fifty-percent chance that Ill answer correctly unless I take time to think about it. East and west come naturally, but north and south only by concentration. Similarly, if you are facing someone and they say something is to the left, you may wonder if its their left or yours. With some people, spelling is a difficult area. That is not too surprising since the English language has many contradictions and complications. Take the words, to, too and two which all sound alike but have different spellings and meanings. There, their, and theyre arent so simple either. Just tonight, wife Corinne asked me how to spell mezzo. It had to do with the Scrabble game she was playing on the computer. The word is often used in musical areas such as with a mezzo-soprano or mezzo forte so she hoped I might know how to spell it since music is my thing. Well, I had just laid down

The 2013 Buffalo Roundup

On Friday morning, a few dozen cowboys will put on their boots and saddle up their horses. Custer State Park employees will get up before dawn. And thousands from across the state, country and world will gather, all to continue a 48-year tradition. The Buffalo Roundup is an experience unlike any other. Feeling the ground shake as hundreds of the thousand-pound creatures stampede across the prairie and watching the few brave riders drive the beasts to their destination is quite incredible. Being able to witness the buffalos power and speed from such a short distance

makes you feel like youre in the Old West. At one time, there were about 60 million buffalo roaming North America, but that number decreased to less than 2,000 in the early twentieth century. Although population levels are nowhere near the historical peak, South Dakota buffalo have made a comeback from their near extinction, partially thanks to Custer State Park. Riders will round up a herd of 1,300 on Friday and it will take about four days to work the herd. Volunteers will vaccinate and brand the calves, check the cows for pregnancy and then identify 300 buffalo for sale in November. After the Roundup, visitors can

stay for lunch and watch the volunteers work the herd. There will be plenty of things to do for those who decide to stay for the weekend. Crazy Horse Memorial is allowing visitors to hike up to the mountain carving during an organized Volksmarch, the Arts Festival will be going on all weekend and the Buffalo Wallow Chili Cook-Off is scheduled for Sunday. The Roundup is something every South Dakotan should see at least once. People from all over come for this one-of-a-kind experience because theres nothing like it anywhere else in the country. If you havent been, consider making the journey. I hope to see you there!

From the U.S. House | Representative Kristi Noem

Celebrating Constitution Day
There are many things that can interrupt our daily lives. Whether its the stress of work, family schedules or that errand you forgot to run, sometimes to-do lists are irrelevant by lunchtime. But even amidst the craziness of a given day, we all need to take a moment and reflect on lifes greatest blessings. I continue to feel honored every single day that I have the opportunity to represent the great people and state of South Dakota in Congress. While debates on the House floor or in committee rooms may get stressful, I cannot help but stand in awe of the incredible buildings and history that surround my daily work at the Capitol. In fact, it was 220 years ago that George Washington first placed the cornerstone of the Capitol. These buildings witnessed the development of a more perfect union and the hallways are rich in the history of generations of lawmakers and the ideas of our founding fathers. Although its easy to get frustrated with the gridlock and dysfunction in Washington, D.C., its important to remember the fundamental values that gave rise to our great nation. September 17th marked the 226th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution and is commonly referred to as Constitution Day. This day is designed to remind us of the sacred rights and freedoms guaranteed to us by our nations founding document. In 1775, Alexander Hamilton wrote: The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power. Times of war or peace and times of economic prosperity or downturn cannot diminish or tarnish these values that embolden us as a people and as a nation. At the beginning of every Congress, I take an oath of office in which I state my duty to uphold the Constitution of the United States: I, Kristi Noem, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God. I use the tenets of this oath to guide my every day decisions. We, the people of the United States of America, have a duty and responsibility to recognize what makes our country great and honor those who fought so hard for these fundamental freedoms. I hope you take some time with your friends and family and read the Constitution. President Ronald Reagan once said that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. I encourage you to remember those words and appreciate the nature of the freedoms we enjoy.

Practical Money Matters | Jason Alderman, Financial Education Advisor

Leasing a Car on the Cheap
My trusty Volvo wagon served our family well for 13 years, but after 106,000 miles it finally gave up the ghost. My wife just completed graduate school so we weren't ready to commit to a new car payment. I rented a car at first, but at $500 a month, that soon got old. Then I came across a concept new me: assuming someone else's car lease. Initially I was skeptical, but after considerable research I took the plunge. It took many emails and phone calls and a month-long wait for the paperwork to clear, but I now have a one-year lease on a quality car whose monthly cost is about a third less than the stripped-down model I was renting. With the caveat that car lease assumption is not right for everyone, here's how the process works: People need to get out of their car leases for a variety of reasons but it's notoriously difficult to do so you usually must pay the outstanding balance plus an early termination fee. One way around this, if your finance company allows it, is to transfer the lease to another party for the remainder of its term. Many people use online lease assumption services like Swapalease.com and LeaseTrader.com. I went with Swapalease.com. These companies match people wanting to unload their lease (think of them as "sellers") with so-called "buyers" interested taking over the remainder of someone's lease. Among the potential advantages for buyers: No down payment. You can secure a shorter-term lease. Sellers will generally offer or agree to financial incentives to unload their lease. Newer cars are usually still under warranty. However, be aware of the many fees involved on both sides of the transaction: Sellers are charged a fee to advertise their vehicle on the websites (generally $50 to $150), and a transaction fee if a lease transfer is initiated ($100 to $150). Buyers pay a registration fee to obtain contact information for sellers (around $40 to $80). Some sites charge buyers a transaction fee as well. Buyers must file a credit application with the lender which can cost up to several hundred dollars; the fee typically isn't refundable if the credit check deems you aren't creditworthy. The leasing company itself will typically charge the buyer a lease transfer fee (typically $50 to $600). A few additional suggestions and precautions: Inspect the car and note any damage. You may also want to have a mechanic inspect it. Ask whether the lender will remove the seller's name from the lease some won't. During negotiations, ask the seller to pay the application and lease transfer fees. It doesn't hurt to ask and you're still saving them a ton of money. Don't expect a lot of customer service from the swapping website. Make sure there's enough mileage left on the lease to suit your needs. You'll have to pay DMV registration fees and sales tax may apply. Your insurance company will need to provide the leasing company with evidence that you have adequate coverage. Know that it can take several weeks or more for the transaction to fully close. For me, that meant an extra month's rental. All in all, if you're flexible about what kind of car you're willing to drive and not in a big hurry, assuming someone else's lease can be a viable option. Just make sure to do your due diligence.

From the U.S. Senate | Senator John Thune

EPAs War on Affordable Energy
South Dakota depends on affordable and reliable energy from coal and natural gas-fired power plants in the upper Great Plains. However, a new proposed rule out of the Obama administrations Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) threatens to raise energy costs for families and businesses and restrict economic growth and job creation throughout our state and across the country. Recently, the EPA released a proposed rule that would require unrealistic new carbon standards for all new power plants. The cost of implementing this proposed rule on reliable energy sources far outweighs the benefits and represents yet another step forward in the presidents war on affordable energy. The rule raises serious concerns about how this far-reaching and burdensome regulation will impact the nations energy supply and economic future. As two of the nations largest and most reliable sources of affordable electricity, the EPA is essentially forcing the hand of coal and natural gas-fired power plants to submit to the new source performance standards or face potential elimination in the marketplace. Unfortunately, the EPAs performance standards are set to an unrealistic and arguably unattainable standard. Instead of working through the proper channels in Congress to address the EPAs concerns on power plant emissions, the administration yet again side-stepped Congress to implement this dangerous and far-reaching regulation. After the failure of the presidents own cap and tax legislation that also would have increased energy costs and destroyed jobs throughout the country, it is not a surprise that the president has taken to circumventing Congress to implement his climate change agenda. Senator Mitch McConnell (RKy.) announced his intention to file a resolution of disapproval to stop the EPA from imposing this new regulation. The resolution would allow for a vote to repeal the rule and prevent the regulation from being implemented. I plan to cosponsor the resolution of disapproval and will continue to work with my colleagues in the Senate to prevent the EPA from implementing this draconian rule and keep energy costs affordable for middle-class families across South Dakota and throughout our country.

Dick Pinney has been home from the hospital this week and is doing better. Val Cork is waiting for good news from her doctor appointment that she will go to this week. Keep her in your prayers. Francis Terkildsen finished the puzzle last week. The new puzzle is a picture of a big bouqet of roses. Its got a lot of dark area and quite a bit of red from the roses. We are getting to where we need more residents. We have about 8-9 rooms that are vacant. I was thrilled to accompany Deb Moor, Diana Coller, and Nancy Peterson to the Festival of Books in Deadwood on Saturday. What an interesting day, very well organized and educational. A lot of walking and we didnt get to every place, but worth the walk and browsing. The viewing for Bonnie Riggins was held on Wednesday afternoon. Interment was held at the Wanblee Cemetery in the afternoon, with a gathering at the Sterling and Jill Riggins ranch. Everyone enjoyed supper and visiting. On Sunday this week the Kadoka Presbyterian Women were here for church services. We always enjoy seeing and visiting with them. Sydney Word stopped in to see Micki for a few minutes along with Bonnie Madsen, Bob, and many others throughout the week. Lois Pettyjohn, Lola Joyce Riggins, Stuart Riggins, and Father Bryan were here Monday for music and Mass. Everyone, well almost everyone, loves Monday mornings here at KNH! Once again, we appreciate you coming. Elaine and Jack Roghair came by to visit and to take a free ride on Emma Jarls walker.

Belvidere News | Syd Iwan, 381-2147

Nikki Bonenberger celebrated her thirtieth birthday on Saturday evening with steak night at Philip. Her husband, Brett, organized the affair and the gathering of friends and, according to Nikki, did a good job at it. Her mom, Diane McDaniel, supplied the birthday cake, and she and her husband, Bill, took the kids home with them for the night. Nikki said it was a nice evening, and she had a good time. Back at home, Nikki is trying to peddle more of her guinea hens of which she has a few too many. Merry Willard took four of them, but there are some more to go. Hay hauling is a current occupation at the Bonenbergers. On Sunday, Nikki celebrated her birthday some more with supper at Keith and Pam Bonenbergers in Kadoka. Those attending that included Delores Bonenberger, Vern and Hellen Uhlir, Brett and Nikki and kids, and Kade Bonenberger and his friend, Kela, from Rapid City. After that supper, Delores went home and to bed early. Shed had a busy week helping look after her great granddaughter, Joslin, who is Alishas daughter. Keith took Delores to Mitchell on Tuesday, and Alisha and family brought her back on Saturday. Alisha works for the social services and has to travel quite a bit. She was doing some home visitation this last week so Delores looked after Joslin to make it easier for her. Joslin is six so needed to get to school on time and to gymnastics and other events. Aaron Mansfield has been chopping corn for silage lately and has a good start on it. He took time off on Saturday, though, so Michelle and he could attend Nikki Bonenbergers birthday party in Philip. Son Tyrel spent Saturday night with grandparents, Jim and Fayola Mansfield. Fayola said she was a little surprised when, about 9:00 that evening, Tyrel came and said he thought it was time for him to go to bed which is somewhat unusual for him to do. That was fine and they all got some good sleep. Bert Perault said theyve mainly been working cows and drilling wheat. He said his folks, Mike and Marlene, went to Philip on Sunday to visit Marlenes mom, Lillian Carlson, at the hospital. He said Lillian is doing better but is still at the hospital. She would rather be home doing child care as she has done for many, many years, but, for now, that just isnt possible. Larry, Jo, and Jenny Johnston went to Philip on Sunday for Stu Wilsons visitation at Rush Funeral Home. Stu died last week due to a fast form of cancer. Larry said there were quite a few people there including most of the county commissioners since Stus wife, Vicki, is the county auditor. Back at home, Larry has just finished combining millet. Their corrals have recently received a nice coat of white paint thanks to daughter Jenny who did the work. Larry appreciates that since he said a paint brush just doesnt seem to fit his hand very well. Mary Johnston went to Philip early on Thursday for a doctor appointment. She had blood drawn first and then went over to Gay Logans for breakfast. The breakfast was a new one for Mary and included waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. It was good enough that she plans to have it again. Later on, Mary and Gay visited Lillian Carlson and Joy Klima at the nursing home and hospital. Betty Kusick is still trying to give tomatoes away to avoid having to can them. On Sunday, her daughter, Loretta, came from Quinn and took some but not all. Loretta wanted to make some salsa and didnt have enough tomatoes of her own to make quite as much as she needed. Unfortunately, Bettys other kids, Kenny and Kathy, already have more tomatoes than they need so they arent apt to take any of the surplus. On Saturday, Betty was up to her usual pastime of fishing with Jim Addison. She said they fished so long that her casting arm was quite a bit longer than her other one. Abby Fortune started taking piano lessons this week from Karen Toews in Kadoka. She and her mom, Eve, have also recently returned to home schooling for the year. Eve said the piano they have for Abby to practice on has been in her family on the maternal side for over a hundred years. It is large and made from tiger oak. Tiger oak is made by cutting the wood at an angle so the longitudinal rings make a striped or tiger affect. Kenny and Roxie Fox took in the ranch matched bronc ride in Kadoka on Saturday. It was enjoyable. They have also been enjoying the bountiful wild-plum harvest at their place. They have a large tree close to the house that was just loaded with fruit this year, and the plums are large and good tasting. Jo Rodgers was out at her moms ranch, Carolyn Mankes, on Sunday since her sister, Jamie, from Wasta was there with her son, Maverick, and her husband, Ray. Maverick had just turned one and they needed to celebrate his birthday. Jos sister, Jewel Bork, was also there as was sister-inlaw, Cheryl Manke, from Philip and other relatives. Back at home, Jo took in various football games last week since Jory played in them. Jory is in the eighth grade this year. Last Saturday, there was football jamboree at Kadoka with teams from Wall, Philip, Murdo, Kadoka etc. It included many games. On Monday, there was another game with Wall at Kadoka. Jo said the final scores were not always favorable, but Jory did get in a lot of running and exercise.

Ability is what youre capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. Lou Holtz Nette, Chris and Beau Heinert were among those helping work cattle at the Blighs on Wednesday. Howard had business in Valentine that day. Toby has been coming home on weekends, working on getting the manure truck up and running again. The Heinerts started chopping silage last Tuesday. Jean Kary hosted the Mellette County Cattlewomen meeting at the museum on Friday, September 20. Others attending were Donna Adrian, Rose West, June Ring, Jeannine Woodward and Karla Heyduck. The Historical Society had their meeting Wednesday noon on September 18, at the museum. A number of DVDs were donated to the library and they have been circulating quite well. Jeannine Woodward and Rose West attended the book festival at Deadwood Saturday. They enjoyed meeting and visiting again with the author, Craig Johnson, and having him autograph his book for them. Susan and Morgan Taft have been busy with volleyball tournaments. Susan helps with line judging at the local events. Dan and Heather watch when they can, but they have been busy with haying, and hopefully are finished with that now. Last Wednesday they also were at Blighs helping work cattle. Frances Taft was down again this weekend, putting the finishing touches on his hunting blind. Friday Dan and Lori Schmidt were in Winner, meeting Loris mother and Darwin, and her mothers sisters, Sharon from Minnesota and Connie from Anchorage, Alaska. They were in Winner for the homecoming activities. They all had supper together. Linda Ring picked up Tyler and Jeremy Thursday after school and they headed for Spearfish to visit with Debbie Ring and stay overnight.

Sports
by True Buchholz, Gavin DeVries, Herbie ODaniel, Logan Ammons, and Logan Christensen opened up holes for our running backs and also did a nice job of giving our quarterback time to throw. Offensively we ended the night with 62 plays for 464 total yards. Defensively the Kougars did a much better job versus the run this week as we held the Comets to only 76 yards on the ground on 29 attempts. However, we did give up too many big plays in the passing game as the Comets were able to complete 7 passes on 13 attempts for 194 yards and 2 touchdowns. That being said, we did limit the Comets to just 42 total plays on offense, as our defense forced many negative plays as we pursued the football much better this week. We also turned in a critical game changing defensive touchdown as Chandlier Sudbeck intercepted a Comet pass and ran it back 30 yards for a touchdown to really swing the momentum in our favor in the fourth quarter. Defensive Stats for the Kougars this week: Chandlier Sudbeck 9 tackles; Dylan Riggins 8; Brady Jandreau 5; True Buchholz 4; Herbie O'Daniel 4; Logan Ammons 4; Aaron Janis 3; Logan Christensen 3; Gavin DeVries 3; Wyatt Enders 3; Sam Pretty Bear 2; Lane Patterson 2 Next week the Kougars host the Philip Scotties for the 2013 homecoming football game at 7:00 p.m. Come out and cheer on your hometown Kadoka Kougars to victory!

On Saturday, September 21, the Lady Kougars hosted the Lady Longhorns of Faith, winning 3-0. Raven Jorgensen and Destiny Dale combined for 25 service points, going 32/33. Mackenzie Word and Raven Jorgensen each had 5 kills. Raven also had 2 solo blocks and 4 block assists. Taylor Merchen had 10 set assists. Destiny Dale had 12 digs. The girls played a solid match, said Coach Hutchinson. Our next event will be a triangular with White River and Pine Ridge on Thursday, September 26, at White River.

The Kadoka Kougars traveled to Rapid City last week to take on the Rapid City Christian Comets, and after a hard fought football game, we were able to bring home our second victory of the year 3416. After a very hard fought, back and forth game the first three quarters, we were able to pull away in the fourth. Chandlier Sudbeck led the Kougars with 165 yards rushing on 23 carries, as well as hauling in 5 passes for 121 yards receiving. Chandlier scored 5 touchdowns on the night, with 3 rushing touchdowns, 1 receiving touchdown, and 1 interception for a touchdown. Logan Ammons had a nice game catching 3 passes for 68 yards. Wyatt Enders hauled in 1 pass for 30 yards, Sam Pretty Bear caught 1 for 11, and Aaron Janis caught 1 for 10. All of the catches these guys made came at critical times and they all stepped up big to make those plays. Lane Patterson completed all those passes as he completed 11 passes on 19 attempts for 240 yards, adding a touchdown pass, and one

2-point conversion to Logan Ammons. Lane did a real nice job of placing the football where the receivers could catch it this week as he had his personal best passing game of the year. Dylan Riggins did a good job of contributing on the ground and picking up some hard fought yards as well as he carried the ball 10 times for 49 yards. Our offensive line anchored

Wyatt Enders #44 came up with a huge tackle behind the line of scrimmage to shut the Comets down.

He joined an older brother Earl Reiger Wilson, Jr. The family then returned to Haleiwa on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaiian Islands. In the next few years, a sister, Karen Leilani, and brother, Steven Phillip, joined the family. Stuart spent his early childhood on and around the beaches of northern Oahu. After the family moved to Cumberland, Md., he and his older brother helped their father rebuild airplanes, stretching the fabric on the wings and fuselage, gluing, shellacing and painting them. Both he and his brother learned to fly at an early age. They also helped with tending the animals, haying and gardening on their small family farm. Stuart enjoyed helping his grandfather with his greenhouse and garden. As a young man he had paper routes, and during his high school years he worked at Ferdinands drive-in restaurant and Maxs Gulf gas station and auto repair.

Fellowship of God | Dr. James L. Snyder

How fast the shades of summer have faded
Am I getting old or his time passing faster than it used to? It seems I just settle down to do something and before I know it, it is over. Back in "the day," a minute had 60 seconds. An hour had 60 minutes. A day had 24 hours. Oh, for those good old days. I am not exactly sure how many seconds a minute has or how many minutes an hour has because he goes by so fast I cannot keep track. Technology has taken over and I for one object. For example, I like looking at my wristwatch and seeing the second hand slowly tick around the dial. Now, we have cell phones with a digital clock. Unlike these digital clocks, all they tell me is what time it is right now. I like to look at a wristwatch and get a whole view of time: past, present and future. I know that a week does not have seven days anymore. I set out on Monday with high hopes of getting something accomplished during the week and by the time I clear my throat, it is Friday afternoon. Where did all that time go? Years ago, the Beatles had a song called "Eight Days a Week." Nowadays it is more like three days a week: yesterday, today and tomorrow! Today is tomorrow's yesterday and I am not exactly sure how to keep up anymore. By the time I get to tomorrow, I forgot what I was supposed to do today. Then, when I get to today, I cannot remember what I did yesterday. I used to plan a whole week of activity, now that luxury is yesterday's news, or is it tomorrow's headlines? I like summer, which may explain why it goes so fast. Maybe I should take a chapter from Murphy's Law and say I do not like summer, then it would drag by a without end in sight. Interestingly, the thing I like to do the most goes by so quickly, that which I hate doing drags on for centuries. Which has me thinking maybe I should not voice what I like or do not like? One thing I like about summer, when I can catch my breath and enjoy it, is the fact that it is made up of those lazy, hazy days I enjoy so much. Not having a schedule, not having a deadline, not having anybody telling me what I should or should not do. Ah, those crazy, lazy days of summer. The fact that I did not get much done during the summer is no big deal. If anybody asked me if I got anything accomplished, I just said, "Hey, it's summer. Relax. I will get to it eventually." Well, eventually has caught up with me and it is called winter. The difference between summer and winter is that during the summer, you can get away with doing nothing but in the winter, there is nothing you can get away with. During the summer my wife will ask me if I have done such and such and I respond by saying, "It's summer, I'll get to it. I got plenty of time." During the winter, my wife will remind me of all the things I was supposed to do during the summer and that now I have to do because winter is a coming. Summer is hazy and lazy, while winter is "Hurry up and get it done." More is expected from a person during the winter months that during the summer. I object very strenuously to this kind of attitude. Of course, this attitude comes from the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. She has the idea that winter, or at least the beginning of winter, is the time to clean up everything. By everything, she is including the garage. Now that summer is over and the lawn does not need to be mowed anymore, I can, according to her logic, transpose that energy into cleaning up things. Then she will confront me with a favorite saying of hers, "Cleanliness is next to godliness." One of these days, when I get up the courage, I am going to ask her to show me where that verse is in the Bible. I kind of think a person can be too clean, like squeaky clean. You know how squeaky gets on people's nerves, especially mine. My favorite saying is, "Laziness is next to everything." Perhaps that is why I like summer so much. There are shades of laziness that can only be exploited in the good old summertime. Some people, like the one who shares a residence with me, things that laziness is a very negative thing. This person honestly believes that if she is not doing something all the time she is lazy. Something good can be said about being lazy. You get to savor a moment of non-activity. The thing I like so much about summer is the activity you do do is only the activity that you want to do like sitting on the back porch, drinking a glass of lemonade, which is what summer is all about. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, understood this concept very well. He says, "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven," (Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV). Time goes by so quickly that a person hardly has enough time to really appreciate the time that they have.

Read Ephesians 6:12-13 When we hear the word war, we think of physical combat with armored vehicles, soldiers in uniform, and deadly weapons. Yet there is a spiritual war going on around us that is just as dangerousone we often ignore or fail to understand. We have a powerful opponent working against us. In fact, the Lord calls him the god of this age (2 Cor. 4:4) because he is the source of evil and wickedness in our world. To overcome Satans attacks, we must first recognize that he is a real adversary. Then we need to hold our ground against him. To stand firm, we have to dress for battle. Wear the belt of truth. Because of who our Enemy isnamely, the Father of Lieswe must wear a belt of Gods truth to counter his deceit. It is imperative that we make a commitment every day to hold to the Lords plan, obediently following Him, whatever the cost. Just as a belt secures clothing in place, our lives are to be encircled and held together by the truth of Gods Word. Put on the breastplate of righteousness. Much like a protective covering, obedience guards us from harm. Since the Devil prowls around seeking to deceive and destroy (1 Peter 5:8), we are to suit up daily in the armor that comes from choosing Gods way in our conduct and conversation. When we are protected in this way, Satans arrows of lust, doubt, or fear will not penetrate. Today, safeguard yourself by spending time absorbing Gods truths (the belt) and then applying them through obedient action (the breastplate).

SD Stockgrowers to host 122nd annual convention
South Dakota Stockgrowers Association is set to host the 122nd Annual Convention and Tradeshow and will be joined by the SD Cattlewomen on September 27 and 28 at the Best Western Ramkota Convention Center in Rapid City. The two-day convention will feature a long line-up of speakers and panelists along with policy discussions, annual business meetings for both organizations and several other activities. Jolene Brown, Top Ten Mistakes Families Make, will be headlining the convention this year. She is a champion for family agriculture and a family business consultant that is sure to keep everyone's attention. Jolene Brown understands the unique challenges facing parents, siblings, in-laws and "outlaws" who work together on multi-generational agriculture operations. She brings a humorous twist to the very serious business of estate planning and generational transfers on family operations. Her presentation will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 28. Friday's program will feature Margaret Byfield of the American Stewards of Liberty at 10:30 a.m., discussing the issues of private property rights and the federal government as well as her father, Wayne Hage's legacy of private property rights. American National Cattlewomen President Barbara Jackson will speak at the Friday luncheon along with SDSU Dean of Agriculture Barry Dunn who will discuss the effort to build a new Cow/Calf research facility at their campus. Other topics and speakers on Friday include Mike Lees from SD DENR, Ty Eschenbaum, SD Dept of Ag Value-Added Ag division, Stockgrowers Executive Director Silvia Christen discussing 2014 legislative priorities, and a brand and theft committee meeting. R-CALF CEO Bill Bullard will address the Friday evening banquet. Saturday's events include a presentation by State Veterinarian Dr. Oedekoven and Courtney De La Rosa of the SD Dept of Ag discussing proposed Animal Welfare legislation, presentations by SD GF&P officials, and the annual business meeting of the SD Stockgrower members will vote on policy and board leadership. Featured speakers on Saturday will include SD Secretary of State Lucas Lentsch and United States Senator John Thune has been invited to address the evening banquet. The convention will wrap up on Saturday evening with an awards banquet, scholarship presentation and an auction. Activities for children including a pool party, and babysitting will be available for children of any convention attendees. There is no charge for the youth activities. "We have a great agenda of guests and information this year and I invite everyone to join us," Shane Kolb, President of the SD Stockgrowers Association said.

Doing Things Right While recently conducting sunflower surveys quite a distance from my office, I stopped in a farmyard to ask where I might find sunflower fields in the area. The farmer/rancher was very helpful and asked if I would let him know what I came up with for a yield estimate as he had a good percentage of them contracted. As we visited, the topic of private crop consultants came up and he highly complimented the agronomist who monitored his fields on a weekly basis and provided recommendations. He made the statement that his wheat yields had doubled since he had hired his crop consultant. He had purchased a newer model row crop planter for that season and was confident that his seed placement and spacing was greatly improved. He also relayed a couple of recommendations that he had refused to follow during the drought of 2012, because he thought his crop had such low yield potential and he resisted putting any more money into a crop that he had little hopes for. At harvest time, the weeds he had received the recommendation to spray were in the best area of the field, but the yield in that part of the field was the lowest, and he was sure it was due to the weeds he hadnt sprayed. In a nutshell, this producer said that without a doubt, the money he pays for crop consulting is well worth it. As his wife said, if youre not going to do what they recommend, why did you hire them? This is a tremendous testament to the crop consulting firm and the agronomists they have on staff, as well as evidence that following good production practices pays off. This is also a testament to South Dakota State University, where his agronomist received his college education.

Bob Fanning, Plant Pathology Field Specialist 842-1267

Hiring crop consulting services is not for every farmer, but does seem to be becoming more common. As farms become larger, so do the demands on the farm managers time and expertise. There seems to be an endless array of weeds, herbicide options, insect pests, diseases, fertilizer products, production practices and other things a farm manager needs to know in order to stay on top of their game. Some farmers are very good at keeping up with the latest information and feel comfortable scouting fields and making decisions, while others prefer to hire someone to do this for them. Whether you hire your agronomy services or prefer to go on your own, stay informed by attending that chemical, seed or Extension meeting thats offered. Youll almost certainly learn something you can use. Even if you hire a crop consultant, being informed helps you ask intelligent questions. The bottom line; doing things right can pay big dividends.

Insuring winter wheat for 2014

More than 90 percent of wheat acres in South Dakota were covered by Revenue Protection during the 2013 crop year. For producers who plan to enroll 2014 winter wheat acres in crop protection, insurance and marketing decisions are going to be a bit different from in the past, said Matthew Diersen, Professor & SDSU Extension Risk/Business Management Specialist. Diersen said the deadline to purchase or change winter wheat coverage is Sept. 30 in South Dakota. Most wheat is insured in the state, so the main choice this time of year is often related to the yield election level. Producers have until Oct. 15 to plant winter wheat with full coverage. The price discovery period spans from Aug. 15 to Sep. 14 and uses the Kansas City September 2014 futures price. "That price has been averaging sharply lower than the insurance price from a year ago. The recent history of projected and harvest prices are shown in the table," Diersen said. "The projected price determines the base for both Yield Protection and Revenue Protection coverage." Diersen said the volatility in the futures price has been lower this year than its five-year average of 0.29 and suggests with lower premium rates for 2014 that producers consider increasing the coverage percentage. "The lower volatility and lower price level point to lower insurance premiums compared to last year. During 2013 most wheat was insured at the 70 percent level," he said. He added that the use of revenue protection means most producers have adequate protection to allow for some preharvest wheat marketing. "The low volatility levels at the present time likely make options strategies inexpensive," he said. "In the event of higher prices by harvest, revenue protection coverage increases. As producers work on their marketing plans they should keep in mind that the insurance coverage is not unlimited, being capped at 200 percent of the base price," he said. "Covered sales, buying out-of-themoney call options, would be advised when marketing aggressively." "Winter wheat insurance settles to the average during July of the Kansas City September contract," he said. "The basis, figured as the cash price received by farmers in South Dakota minus the average futures price in July, has averaged $-0.64 per bushel during the past five years."
