The Kadoka American Legion
Auxiliary is once again asking the
community to help make Christ-
mas extra special for those at the
Veterans Administration Hospital
in Hot Springs.
Each year auxiliary members
reach out to help supply Christmas
gifts for the veterans. You dont
have to be a member of the auxil-
iary to help.
Veterans will be able to do their
Christmas shopping for family
members at their convenience
without leaving the hospital gift
shop. They may also pick out a gift
for themselves.
Please remember, do NOT give
used items -- this is Christmas.
Some gift ideas for adults in-
clude sweaters, shirts, hoodies,
socks and slippers, sweat pants
and shirts, hats and gloves and
body care kits.
Towel sets make nice gifts for
families, as well as picture albums
and games.
Children will enjoy receiving
hand-held and board games, toys,
puzzles, clothing and hats.
Gifts may be dropped off at the
Jackson County Library anytime
before Saturday, October 20.

The Jackson County Commis-
sioners met on Monday, October 1
at 9 a.m. Commissioners Jim Stil-
well, Glen Bennett, Ronnie Twiss
and Larry Denke were in atten-
dance. Delores Bonenberger was
absent. Also attending was Larry
Johnston, who will be seated on the
commission board in January.
County Auditor Vicki Wilson
presented the financial statement,
although with the meeting being
held on first of the month, final
monthly balances were not com-
plete.
A notice of hospitalization was
received from Rapid City Regional
for estimated patient costs of
$60,000. The notice was reviewed,
but required no action.
A mental illness billing for eval-
uation was denied to Carol Butz-
man Counseling in the amount of
$84.86.
Wilson stated that 911 disperse-
ment from the state was received
in the amount of $1,300 or $1,400.
Wilson stated that she would not
forward it to Pennington County
until they (Pennington County) re-
quest it.
Commissioner Denke inquired
about the commercial drivers li-
cense (CDL) test and if the county
needed to provide a truck to take
the test. Wilson said that either
you can provide a truck for the test
or rent one. The county is unable to
use any county trucks because they
(the trucks) would not pass inspec-
tion.
Sherriff Ray Clements Jr. met
with the commissioners and said
that Deputy Sheriff Dallas
Kendrick is doing well in the posi-
tion.
Clements stated that they had
received a request for assistance
with a matter from the Oglala
Sioux Tribe Police Department.
Since the location of the call was
close to where Paul Williams lives,
he requested that Williams re-
spond to help.
Discussion was held on running
blue emergency lights. Clements
said that with blue lights, the
driver is requesting the right-of-
way, but does not have the right to
exceed the speed limit or not stop
at stop signs.
The commissioners entered in to
executive session for personnel
matters at 9:27 a.m. with Johnston
present. When returning to open
session at 10:15, no action was
taken.
Wilson stated that there will be
a mandatory meeting concerning
the upcoming election that her and
Deputy Auditor Kerri Enders
needed to attend. With both em-
ployees gone, there would be no one
in the office. Motion carried to offer
Verda Anderson $8.00 per hour to
work in the auditors office for this
day.
John Siedschlaw addressed the
commissioners, requesting ap-
proval of organizing a volunteer
fire and rescue department in Wan-
blee.
Siedschlaw stated that there are
23 members, officers have been
elected, and with county approval,
they could then submit their by-
laws as a final step. Once approved
the volunteer members would at-
tend training and the department
would become certified.
Twiss said that the other local
volunteer fire departments had
stated they were in favor of the ad-
ditional fire department, and the
other departments are quite a few
miles away.
Motion carried to support and
approve Wanblee Volunteer Fire
Department and Rescue.
At 11:00 a.m. a public auction
was held where three parcels of
land were offered. Lots 17 and 18
of block 8 in Belvidere were sold to
Wallace Wells in the amount of
$300. Lot 10 of block 3 in Wanblee
were sold to Ed Bettelyoun in the
amount of $35.00. Ed Bettelyoun
also purchased lots 12 and 13 of
block 3 in Wanblee for $35.
A hearing was held for the addi-
tion of a road to the county high-
way department. The request was
submitted by Jeff Willert for three-
quarters of a mile of road which
will lead to his residence. Willert
stated that he was mainly con-
cerned with snow removal and
ditches being mowed.
Willert noted that part of the
road would need built up, two or
three culverts would be needed and
he had two cattle gaurds to install.
Bennett stated that since he has
came on the board he was not in
favor of adding any more roads to
the system.
Johnston stated that he was in
favor of adding the road so in case
there was an emergency, the emer-
gency vehicles could get to the
house.
Motion carried to add the road to
the highway system, with Bennett
casting a no vote.
Denke stated that the road de-
partment is terribly behind with
maintenance, and was not really
wanting to add more miles to the
system, but did not want to deprive
anyone either.
Veryl Prokop addressed the com-
missioners concerning the road CS
29 which leads to the former Otto
Prokop home, south of Kadoka
along SD Highway 73.
Although no one is living there
currently, several people use that
road to gain access to the adjoining
land and Veryl Prokop has cattle
there.
The river has cut the banks
away and is now at the edge of the
road. The width of the road is nar-
row and accessing the place with
pickup and horse trailer is getting
difficult.
Craig Coller with West River Ex-
cavation presented a plan to move
the road in the amount of $24,999.
The commissioners agreed to
enter in to a contract with West
River Excavation for the road con-
struction and if culverts are needed
for the project, the county agreed to
provide them.
In addition to moving the road,
a section of the electrical line will
also need to be relocated. It was
questioned whether West Central
Electric would charge for this and
who would be responsible for those
charges. If the road is left where it
is, the pole is near the edge of the
bank. More information will need
to be gathered to determine the re-
sponsible party.
Aaron Richardson, who is serv-
ing as highway superintendent on
an intern basis, stated that the
screener that has been rented from
Morris, Inc. is at the Sharp pit and
the gravel is not good.
Richardson stated that renting
the screener and trying to do it
themselves has been hard. He said
that they are short employees and
in order to do it, they are handling
the gravel three times and do not
have the equipment to do it right.
Following discussion, the com-
missioners requested Richardson
to contact Morris Inc. to come and
get the screener and contact West-
ern Construction to see if they
would be interested in screening
and crushing gravel at the current
bid amounts.
The commissioners entered into
executive session at 2:07 p.m. for
personnel matters with Johnston
present and Richardson present for
a portion of it. They returned to
open session at 2:43.
Motion carried to accept the res-
ignation of Chase Olney from the
highway department.

County approves Wanblee volunteer
fire department, delays library building
A public meeting was held Mon-
day, October 8 at the Kadoka
School Great Hall to discuss the po-
tential building project of a new
gymnasium.
Superintendent Jamie Hermann
addressed those in attendance stat-
ing that the building committee
has meet and examined to see if
there is a need for another gym fa-
cility and is it financially possible.
The need is definitely there,
said Hermann referring to the
amount of hours that the current
auditorium is used.
PE classes, girls and boys bas-
ketball practice for grades fifth
through twelfth, games, tourna-
ments and community events fill
up the auditorium.
For everyone to have gym
space, practices for the younger
students start at 6 a.m., which
makes for a long day, stated Her-
mann, especially if the students
live in the country and have to
travel to school.
Currently within the school
budget a fund is established for
capital outlay project that has a
balance of $488,000.
The school also received funds in
a settlement agreement to repair
the Great Hall. After the repairs
are finished there will be approxi-
mately $175,000 that could used
for this project.
Total cost of the project is un-
known at this time. The options
that the facility could offer (class-
rooms, offices, weight room, walk-
ing track, kitchen, etc.) will
determine the final price.
A standard gym would consist of
approximately 10,000 square feet
and gym with a mezzanine would
be closer to 15,000 square feet.
Cost projections range from
$138 per square foot with no design
cost and $158 per square foot with
all costs included. A construction
company roughly estimates that
the total project would cost from
1.5 to 2.7 million, while an engi-
neering firm estimates costs rang-
ing from 1.05 to 2.5 million.
With the cost exceeding the fund
amount available, grants, dona-
tions and fundraising will also be
pursued.
The South Dakota Legislators
set the levy amounts, said Her-
mann, and at this time there is no
need to raise taxes to accomplish
this project.
The main obstacle of the project
is location. Several locations are
being considered, but where it is
built, also determines the use. If it
is close to the school the possibility
of use during school hours increase.
But for this size of building, quite a
bit of space is needed.
Time frame from the start of
construction, to a finished building
would be approximately nine
months.
Several people in attendance
voiced support for the new facility
and noted that the need is great, it
has been a need for many years,
and current interest rates are low.
Hermann stated that the next
step in moving forward would be to
developed a committee, and asked
if anyone is interested in serving on
the committee to please indicate so.
Once the committee is established,
comments from the meeting will be
reviewed and proceeding to the de-
sign phase will occur.

the Elderly
John 21:15-19
All of us make tracks through the valley of fail-
ure. Then the key question is, What we will do
next? Sadly, many believers who stumble give up
a vibrant kingdom-serving life for a defeated existence. But failure can also be a chance for a
new beginning of living in Christ's strength.
In pride, Peter thought his faith was the strongest of all the disciples' and swore that even if
the others left Jesus, he never would (Mark 14:29). Yet when the time of testing came, he denied
even knowing Christ--and did so three times (Matt. 26:69-75). Satan hoped the disciple would
be so wounded by his own disloyalty that his faith would be undermined by shame, condemna-
tion, and despair.
Likewise, when the Enemy sifts believers today, his goal is for us to become shelved and inef-
fective for God's kingdom. That's why he goes after our strengths, especially the areas in which
we proudly consider ourselves invincible. But if we're willing, the Lord can use our failures to
do spiritual housecleaning, as He did in Peter's life. After the resurrection, Jesus met with the
disciple personally and restored him, preparing him to become a great leader in the early church.
He made it clear that Peter's potential to serve was defined, not by failure, but by his unwavering
love for Christ.
Peter laid down his pride, received the healing Jesus offered, and put on courage with the
Holy Spirit's help. He then risked his life fearlessly to further the gospel, and many came to
Christ through his example. Failure was the catalyst that grew in him a stronger, more authentic
faith.

Inspiration Point
Joyce F. Dykema_________________
Joyce F. Dykema, age 79 of
Murdo, S.D., died October 3, 2012,
at the Golden Living Center in
Pierre.
Joyce Finck was born to Waldo
and Clara (Jordan) Finck on Feb-
ruary 12, 1933, in Okaton.
She married Herman Boyd
Dykema on November 27, 1953,
and to this union three daughters
were born, Sherry, Cindy and Lora.
Joyce loved life and was known for
her fun personality. Joyce espe-
cially loved to tease the kids and
they loved to tease her back. Those
same kids (and you know who you
are) would scare her knowing how
jumpy she was. Adults and kids
alike made a special stop at Joyces
house at Halloween, with lights
and siren (and you know who you
are) for her popcorn balls. Joyce
also made the best bread and
chocolate fudge and she often
shared her baked goods with family
and friends. Crocheting was a pas-
time for Joyce and she enjoyed
sharing her handiwork.
Joyce loved going to bowling
tournaments except for the times
her partners angered or embar-
rassed her (and you know who you
are).
Joyce had many talents and she
used these in several of the jobs she
performed throughout the years.
She especially like working at
Deans Market where she could be
found by the sound of her whistle.
She always said there was no song
she just liked to whistle. Joyce has
done everything from driving com-
bines at harvest, driving semi-
trucks long haul, to milking cows,
ironing, baking doughnuts, and
loved painting apartments.
You would often find Joyce
whistling, whether she was at work
or at play. This reflected Joyces
love for life. Joyce will be missed by
her family and many friends.
Survivors include three daugh-
ters, Sherry Philips and her hus-
band, Bill, of Murdo, Lora Gibbs
and her husband, Brett, of Au-
dobon, Iowa, and Cindy Jost and
her husband, Mike, of Murdo; four
grandchildren, Brooke and Susie
Jost, and Georgie and Billy Gibbs;
one brother, Kenny Finck of
Newell; five sisters, Irene Brink of
Murdo, Alice Stroppel and her hus-
band, George, of Midland, Betty
Block and her husband, Dick, of
Midland, Ironis Poppe of Pierre,
and Norma Oldenberg and her hus-
band, Jim, of Philip; and a host of
other relatives and friends.
Joyce was preceded in death by
her husband, Herman, on May 13,
2006; two brothers, Robert Finck
and Emil Finck, and one sister,
Bonna Lindquist.
Services were held Friday, Octo-
ber 5, at the Methodist Church in
Murdo, with Pastor Rick Hazen of-
ficiating.
Music was provided by Lois
Jaide, pianist. Ushers were Barb
Venard and Linda Kessler. Pall-
bearers were Marvin Kessler, Joe
Connot, Gary Block, Dean Block,
Brad Block and Dean Faber. Regis-
ter book attendants were Wanda
Olson and Jill Venard.
Graveside services were held
Friday at the Black Hills National
Cemetery near Sturgis.
Rush Funeral Home of Philip
was in charge of the arrangements.
A memorial has been estab-
lished.
Earl E. Helms__________________
Earl E. Helms, age 61, of Rapid
City, S.D., died Wednesday, October
3, 2012, in Rapid City.
Earl Erving Helms was born No-
vember 17, 1950, in Wall, the
fourth child of Erving and Eliza-
beth (Eisenbraun) Helms. As a
young child Earl was very enthusi-
astic and ambitious. At the age of
five, he became very ill and from
this he became mentally chal-
lenged, and had to learn many
things over again. In 1963, for med-
ical reasons, Earl moved to Red-
field State Hospital and School.
While there, he learned many
things and enjoyed working in the
workshop, going to dances, movies,
bowling, and horse riding. In the
summers he would enjoy coming
back home to the ranch and visit-
ing friends and relatives.
In 2010, Earl got the opportu-
nity to fulfill a dream of moving to
Black Hills Works, where he be-
came a resident and learned to
know many new people and work
in the workshop. Here he was very
helpful and liked by the staff and
residents. Here he enjoyed going
bowling, camping, football games,
and riding horses at SunCatchers
Riding Academy.
He passed away suddenly on
Wednesday, October 3, 2012, and
will be dearly missed by family,
friends, and staff.
Grateful for having shared his
life are three sisters Ester Johan-
nesen and her husband, Gene, of
Wall, Edith Eisenbraun and her
husband, Aaron, of Rapid City, and
Eileen Niederwerder and her hus-
band, Greg, of Rapid City; two
brothers, Eugene Helms and his
wife, Glenda, of Creighton and
Elden Helms and his wife, Lillian,
of Creighton; 11 nieces and
nephews; and a host of other rela-
tives and friends.
Earl was preceded in death by
his parents.
Services were held Saturday, Oc-
tober 6, at the First Lutheran
Church in Wall, with Pastor Curtis
Garland officiating.
Music was provided by Mary
Kay Wilson, pianist. Ushers were
Dennis Sieler and Mike Sieler.
Pallbearers were Bob Helms, Paul
Staben, Marvin Denke, Tom
Mahon, Eli Helms and Wade Gei-
gle.
Interment was at the Wall
Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial
has been established to Black Hills
Works or SunCatchers Riding
Academy.
Arrangements were with the
Rush Funeral Chapel of Wall.

Nancy Holub____________________
Nancy Holub, age 53 of Wall,
S.D., died Sunday, October 7, 2012,
at the Rapid City Regional Hospi-
tal.
Nancy G. Pederson was born No-
vember 26, 1958, at Ft. Benning,
Ga., the daughter of Gordon and
Betty Lou (Ballard) Pederson. The
family moved to Panama until
1963, then to Rapid City, when her
father served in Vietnam. In 1966,
the family moved to Ft. Leonard
Wood, Mo., until 1968 when they
moved to Taiwan. In 1970, the fam-
ily moved to Wall where Nancy fin-
ished her schooling, graduating
from Wall High School in 1976.
After high school, Nancy moved to
New York.
Nancy was united in marriage to
Terry F. Holub on February 5,
1983, in Rapid City. They moved to
Schaller, Iowa, where their first
son, Matthew, was born. They
owned and operated two newspa-
pers in that area, and Nancy also
ran a day care. In 1990, they moved
back to Wall to operate the Dairy
Queen. It was at this time their
second son, Grant, was born.
Nancy remained in Wall until 1996
when they moved to Albany, Mo.,
where she managed a convenience
store. In 1999, she returned to
Wall, where her boys attended
school.
Nancy enrolled in Western
Dakota Vo-Tech where she gradu-
ated with honors in May of 2003.
During this time, Nancy was diag-
nosed with cancer, but fought
courageously for 12 years. She con-
tinued her education at National
American University and gradu-
ated as a paralegal in 2007.
She remained in Wall where she
was a member of St. Patricks
Catholic Church of Wall and a
member of the Carrol-McDonald
American Legion Auxiliary #246.
She enjoyed traveling and singing,
but especially loved spending time
with her family and friends. She
also was very active in organizing
the Relay For Life events in Wall.
Nancy was always trying to make
the world a better place, and even
after death, she continued this as
she donated her corneas so that
someone may have a better life.

Dead skunk in the middle of
the road. You got yer dead skunk
in the middle of the road. Stinkin
to high Heaven! So go the lyrics of
a song written and performed by
Loudon Wainwright. It is espe-
cially appropriate right now since
skunks appear to have had a ban-
ner year. Not only are they dead in
the middle of the road but also on
the shoulder and even on some city
streets. I dont know how many
carcasses Ive seen, but there have
been a lot.
This is not hard to believe since
skunks often have multiple off-
spring. They are similar to cats as
far as reproduction goes, and you
know having four kittens in a
batch is fairly common. Sometimes
there are more that that. There-
fore, if you have ten female skunks
around, they could multiply them-
selves to forty by fall. I think thats
what happened this year. There
must have been many large
batches and few stillborns
This, too, is the season you are
most apt to see the results of the
years production since they are all
drifting around looking for cozy
winter quarters. Culverts under
roads are quite popular. Buildings
are too. Just the other day, Wally
asked if Id like to help him move
three dead skunks from under his
house. I said that, alas, I had a
very busy schedule for both the
morning and afternoon and
couldnt possibly provide assis-
tance. What a pity I couldnt help.
Over the years, Ive dispatched
a whole lot of skunks. They partic-
ularly adore the cat food I usually
have sitting out in dishes in the
barn. Whats more, the cats just
accept them as kin without mak-
ing a fuss. Let a coon come in the
barn and eat cat food, and the cats
get nervous. You can tell right
away that something is wrong
when you walk in the barn and the
cats are all sitting on high places
looking nervously around. This is
a signal to grab your gun, walk
carefully, and check the rafters for
ringed tails. Cats give no warning
about skunks, though, so youd
just better keep your wits about
you in the barn, especially after
dark. Ive never been actually
sprayed by a striped kitty, but it
has been a near thing many times.
Early spring and fall are the times
one should be especially careful.
Its not bad enough that these
striped beasts have potent stink
glands, but, what is worse, they
are the most common carrier of ra-
bies in this area. As far as I know,
we have never had rabies on the
place, but that doesnt mean it
couldnt happen. Any critter in-
cluding cats that acts strangely
needs to be closely watched. The
only thing worse than a rabid
skunk, as far as Im concerned,
would be a rabid bat. You could
probably outrun a skunk, but bats
would be quite a bit trickier to
avoid. We sometimes get bats in
the barn too, and I really hate
that. I go in and out just as quickly
as possible when they are there.
According to recent statistics, not
many bats actually have rabies,
but I dont trust them anyway, the
nasty things. If they were loveable
creatures, they wouldnt be com-
monly displayed in conjunction
with the scariest time of year,
namely Halloween.
It is also almost impossible to
chase a skunk out of a building be-
fore shooting it. They wont go even
if there are lots of doors, and
theyre all open. For one thing, you
have to stay a goodly distance
away so you cant really force the
issue. Long ago I gave up trying to
get them outside and now just
shoot them where they stand.
Then I quickly exit the building
and wait at least a day before
going back, picking up the smelly
beast with a pitchfork, and dispos-
ing of it a considerable distance
away down a draw.
The only redeeming feature
about skunks might be that they
are fairly pretty. They usually
have glossy black hair punctuated
by a big white stripe or two. Their
beauty, though, could be compared
to that of creeping jenny which
also is somewhat pretty. Neither
one can be fully appreciated when
you know what problems they can
cause.
My favorite story in this regard,
however, might be the one from
schooldays in town. It was spring
and a lilac was blooming outside
the window. Mom said, Open the
window so you can smell the
lilacs. I did open the window but
just as a skunk walked by. I told
Mom, I dont think I care much for
the smell of lilacs. She came to my
room right away to check this out,
smelled the skunk, and got a terri-
ble fit of the giggles.
So in conclusion, Its dead. Its
in the middle. Dead skunk in the
middle of the road. Its dead. Its in
the middle, and stinkin to high,
high Heaven.
Dead Skunk
Lookin Around
by Syd Iwan
Clair Bitting got home late on
Sunday from the VA in Minneapo-
lis where he had a defibrillator in-
stalled to help keep his heart
beating correctly. He started out at
the VA in Sturgis last week and
was flown from there to Minneapo-
lis. His daughter, Kolette Struble,
drove to Minnesota and brought
Clair back. Son Curtis, meanwhile,
looked after things at the ranch
and kept his mom company.
Chad and Francie Davis were in
Sioux Falls last week where they
attended the Festival of Books.
This event tends to concentrate on
South Dakota and regional writers.
Since Francie is the membership
chairman of the SD Poetry society
and has edited their magazine, she
got to man a booth concerning that.
Chad and Francie got to be on their
own for a change since their three
boys were staying with Chads folks
in Pierre. On Oct. 6, Garrett cele-
brated his eleventh birthday by
having three friends stay with him
for a couple of days. Those boys are
home schooled like the Davis boys
so Francie just added them to the
classes. On one day, all six kids
helped Fortunes preg check some
heifers. Francie said the procedure
grossed them out and also fasci-
nated them.
Larry Grimme has been writing
another new song lately. The cho-
rus goes in part, Im only seeing
souls. Is your name on Jesus roll?
He said the idea was sparked in
part by a friend who advised him to
just see souls. It was reinforced by
a time when he was setting up an
amplifier and speakers at the audi-
torium in Scotland where he used
to teach. Although only connected
to the electricity and nothing else,
the system somehow picked up a
radio frequency or something and
played the song, Bringing in the
Sheaves, which deals with concern
for the eternal welfare of people.
Marie Addison attended the fu-
neral of Joyce Dykema in Murdo
this week. Joyce was the mother of
Maries hairstylist there in Murdo.
Marie said Joyce was a really
cheerful person who whistled a lot
and was fun to be around. She also
lived in apartment near Marie for
a while. Marie came to church in
Belvidere on Sunday as usual. She
often comes with Grace McKillip
who didnt, however, come along
this time. Grace hadnt been feeling
very well for a couple of weeks and
even spent a few days in the hospi-
tal. She is doing better now,
though, and hopes to be out and
about soon.
Mike, Marlene and Bert Perault
took advantage of Marlenes long
weekend from her work at the
bank to do some painting and roof
repair at the river ranch. They
painted on the barn on Saturday,
tore the shingles off the bunkhouse
on Sunday, and tinned the roof on
Monday.
Brett and Nikki Bonenberger
and kids went to Rapid City on Sat-
urday to attend a high school vol-
leyball game in which Nikkis niece
took part. The niece is Kendall Mc-
Daniel and attends school in Ab-
erdeen. They got in some visiting
and had a good time. Back at home,
Bonenbergers sold calves two
weeks ago and are getting the
weaned replacement heifers settled
in. Brett said his grandma, Delores
Bonenberger, spent the last week
in Mitchell looking after her grand-
daughter, Joshlyn, who is Alishas
daughter. Alisha had some work to
do that could be done better with
someone helping with Josh. Since
Josh is in kindergarten, Delores got
to take her to school, pick her up,
and do other grandmotherly
chores.
Charlene Ceniceros went to
Rapid City on Thursday, had a
heart monitor put in place for 24
hours, and then taken back off on
Friday. Results will be known later.
Charlene went with Rhonda Terk-
ildsen, and the two stayed at a
motel overnight. Back at home, you
might remember that Charlenes
aunt, Martha Shot, lived with her
for several years, but moved to the
care center in White River last
May. That leaves just Charlene,
her granddaughter, also name
Charlene, and the younger Char-
lenes husband, Daryl Romeo, and
their two children which are both
under two years of age. Daryl spent
six weeks in Artesia, New Mexico,
in August and September where he
gained addition training for his
work as a correctional officer. Daryl
has worked for a while over at Kyle
as a guard at a juvenile detention
facility there and will continue that
only with more training.
Kirby and Nancy Schofield and
John and Jamie Dolezal took in the
Rodney Carrington concert and
show in Deadwood on Friday
evening. Nancy said it was hilari-
ous and very enjoyable. The four-
some stayed overnight in Spearfish
before returning home on Satur-
day. When they got out of the show,
it was snowing so hard in Dead-
wood that it almost seemed like a
blizzard. They were glad all that
white stuff was confined to the
Black Hills. Nancy said her work is
winding down at 1880 Town, but
they will probably stay open until
the end of the month depending on
the weather. All the summer help
has now gone south which leaves
the local people left to carry on.
Cold mornings tend to be slow, but
more people stop after it warms up.
Nancy plans to take off Oct. 17,
though, to attend the lutefisk and
roast-beef supper at the Lutheran
Church in Midland. Nancy will
have the roast beef and leave the
lutefisk strictly alone.
Scot and Jodie OBryan finally
got acquainted with their newest
grandson, Nathanial Conn
OBryan. He is the son of Taylor
and Vicki of Yankton and was al-
ready five-weeks old before his
grandparents got to see him. Vari-
ous activities kept interfering with
a trip to Yankton, and Jodie was
starting to worry that they
wouldnt get there until the his
graduation from something. Natu-
rally, Nathanial is awesome and
dearly loves his grandma. He is a
happy boy and enjoyed being held
a lot. On Sunday, Scot and Jodie
had supper in Quinn with Scots
mom, Lorna Moore. They enjoyed
chili and chocolate cake. Daughter
Faye was also there with her kids
although Scot and Jodie didnt
know she was coming and Faye
didnt know her folks were either.
After supper, a side trip to Wall
Drug was made to check out the
pictures there, etc. Last weekend,
Jodie went to the Gridiron barrel
racing Futurity in Huron. This is
for horses five years old and under.
Jodie got third place with one
raised horse, and first on another.
She came home with some money
in prizes. Jodie said she spent part
of last week teetering on some scaf-
folding while painting at 1880
Town. The diner there that Jodie
manages is closed for the season,
and Jodie figures Richard
Hullinger caught her at a weak mo-
ment that she would agree to the
painting detail.
Ideas are like children
your own are wonderful.
Ed, Carol and Jesse Ferguson,
and Pete and Marla Ferguson were
in Rapid City on Saturday, Septem-
ber 27 to help Moya Brickman cel-
ebrate her 11th birthday. Ed and
Carol traveled on to Rochford and
spent the night at their cabin. They
drove through the Spearfish and
Vanocker Canyons on Sunday to
see more of the beautiful fall colors
displayed in the Black Hills.
September 30 guests at the
James Letelliers were Rev. Don
and Anna May Letellier of Wood
Lake, NE.

home. Ida went home with toma-
toes to can.
Carol Ferguson visited her
mother, Irene Kaufman, in Valen-
tine on Monday. Tuesday she con-

Lakeview on the way home.
Robert and Sharon Ring made a
business trip to Winner on Tues-
day.
The community was shocked to
hear of the sudden loss of Lori
Schmidts brother, Robin
Bromwich, 49. Services were held
in Winner on Saturday. Our hearts
go out to his dear family and
friends at this sad time. Our
prayers are certainly with you.
May the Lord give you peace and
comfort at this sad time. Folks will
remember Rob in this community,
when he helped out at the gas sta-
tion.
Wednesday, James and Marjorie
Anne Letellier enjoyed taking in
the cross country meet held in
Presho. It is so fun to be from West
River South Dakota, you can cheer
for all the kids there, because you
know them or their parents and
grandparents at least, and perhaps
even related to a few! The Letel-
liers grandson, Beaver Burma, was
there running in the junior high di-
vision for Sunshine Bible Academy.
Beaver and his teammate, Chris
Haas, came in first and second.
Beaver is the son of Jason and Ja-
Lynn Burma.
Harry and Jeanne Merchen
planned to hold a moving/rummage
sale at the Norris Township Hall on
Thursday and Friday, but were all
sold out by Thursday afternoon.
There is no easy way to say good-
bye to lifelong residents in a little
burg like Norris; especially if those
folks are Harry and Jeanne
Merchen. What a lovable couple!
Jeannes rule was no one could ever
go away from their house hungry
and I dont think anyone ever did.
Caramel rolls were her specialty.
Food, fun and foolishness was the
name of the game. Heres wishing
you the best in your new venture,
we know that wherever you are you
will be a blessing. The Merchens
have recently purchased a home in
Black Hawk, SD.
June Ring rode with Jean Kary
and her daughter, Rae Beth
(Cookie) Staab, to the West River
History Conference held in Rapid
City Thursday through Saturday.
Both Jean and June presented pa-
pers and also presented one for
Cindy Brunson who was unable to
attend. They also visited with
Jeans sister-in-law, Cordelia, and
husband, Bob Johnson, in Hill City.
Jean also enjoyed seeing her
nephew, Russell, and family while
visiting at the Johnson home.
Morgan Taft was a member of
the White River Middle School vol-
leyball team playing at Philip on
Thursday. Susan attended the
game after work that day.
Friday, Ed and Carol Ferguson
went to the cattle sale in Winner.
Howard and Nette Heinert hauled
cows back for them in the evening.
Ed and Carol Ferguson and Pete
and Marla Ferguson were among
those attending the services for
Rob Bromwich in Winner on Satur-
day.
Julie Letellier of Kilgore and
Andee Beckwith accompanied Jim
and Marjorie Anne Letellier to the
football game at Plankinton on Fri-
day night. Their grandson, DJ
Beckwith, plays for Sunshine
Bible. He had 20 tackles and a
touchdown in the game for the win-
ning cause. DJ is the son of Paul
and LuAnne Beckwith of Pierre. It
is so fun to watch the youth, so get
out and support your kids and their
team before the season ends.
Dan and Susan Taft sold calves
in Winner on Friday. Howard and
Nette Heinert hauled a load for
them. Susan went to the varsity
volleyball tournament in White
River on Saturday.
Saturday, Pastor Denke, Sharon
Ring and Jan Ring enjoyed attend-
ing the Lutheran Womens Mission
League Zone Fall Rally in Winner.
The theme was Listen, Laugh and
Love with Pastor Roy Greenseth of
Murdo as speaker.
Darrel Totton and son were in
the area hunting antelope this
weekend. Sorry, I dont have a re-
port of their hunt; but I do know
that in this four county corner is
nice if you have more than one
county license.
Sunday morning at the St.John
Lutheran Church LWML Sunday
was observed with the title being
Salted for Service. Cookies and
punch were served following the
service. In the afternoon, Sharon
Ring visited Marilyn Heinert and
shared the lesson and treats with
her. Marilyn was unable to attend
the service and had been president
of the zone LWML for many years.
Gene and Marjorie Popkes of
Lakeview, Pete and Marla Fergu-
son and Jesse Ferguson enjoyed
Sunday dinner at the Ed and Carol
Ferguson home. They worked a few
calves in the afternoon.
Maxine Allard was thrilled to
have her son, Stan, come down and
spend his Columbus Day holiday
with her. Stan spent some of the
time working on the Bronco.
The Dan Taft family took advan-
tage of the Columbus Day holiday
to preg check cows and have the
help of family and friends.
The array of fall colors has been
exceptional this year, with all the
different hues of gold, orange, rust
and reds. The beauty of the country
this time of year always bring with
it a ray of hope for the crops, cattle
and gardens to do even better next
year. It just doesnt last long
enough. I was all set for a beautiful
warm Indian summer, but we were
shocked into Eskimo winter in-
stead. The temperatures reached
down into the low 20s for a few
days, freezing everything within
reach. It will be better next year,
youll see.
Have a great week.

Pasture, rangeland and forage
(PRF) insurance is available for
2013 in South Dakota based on a
Rainfall Index (RI). Haying and
grazing needs can be covered
against moisture shortages using
PRF-RI, says Matthew Diersen,
SDSU Extension Risk & Business
Management Specialist.
"While producers would prefer
to be paid if they did not have for-
age, PRF-RI relies on a close histor-
ical relationship between rainfall
timing and forage production
amounts," Diersen said.
He explains that producers can
guard against low precipitation
during insured intervals for local-
ized grids specific to haying or
grazing needs. Rainfall is grid-level
and not farm- or ranch-level when
measured.
November 15, 2012 is the dead-
line to purchase or change coverage
for the 2013 calendar year.
Diersen explains that the PRF-
RI coverage available in South
Dakota mirrors pasture rents (per
acre) for grazing.
"The coverage is constant at
$204.23 per acre for haying. In the
event that precipitation is low dur-
ing an insured interval, producers
could use indemnity payments to
replace income or to purchase re-
placement feed," he said. "Unfortu-
nately the coverage does not
increase should prices move higher
during the insured year."
Encouraging indicators at the
state level suggest that PRF-RI
would work well to manage forage
production risk. In years with
below-average rainfall in South
Dakota the hay yield was also often
below-average. In particular, no-
table drought years in South
Dakota (1976, 1988, 2002 and
2006) had sharply lower rainfall to-
tals and hay yields.
According to the Census of Agri-
culture there were 23 million acres
in permanent pasture and range-
land across South Dakota in 2007.
PRF has been available in South
Dakota since the 2007 crop year
using a vegetation index, but only
540,000 acres were insured with
PRF in 2012.
"As detailed in the crop insur-
ance provisions, catastrophic cover-
age is not available for PRF. Thus,
producers may also purchase Non-
insured Disaster Assistance Pro-
gram (NAP) coverage for the
pasture, rangeland, and non-alfalfa
hayland," Diersen said.
He says it is up to producers to
decide whether the insurance is
necessary and valuable.
"The high subsidy rate likely
gives the coverage value, but there
are no absolute guarantees that
precipitation shortages will always
line up with forage needs," he said.
Premiums for PRF-RI vary by
county, type, coverage level, prac-
tice/interval, and grid location. Pro-
ducers have to pick a coverage level
from 70 to 90 percent of the grid
base. A default to consider would be
the 70 percent level as it has the
highest subsidy rate. Producers
also have to pick a productivity
level from 60 percent to 150 per-
cent of the county base. This allows
for intra-county variability in soil
type, grade, and forage type.
Diersen explains that there are
many ways to allocate coverage.
"Not all acres need to be insured.
Selected acres are allocated across
11 two-month intervals. Intervals
cannot overlap a given month. At
most 70 percent and no fewer than
10 percent of acres can be in a sin-
gle interval," he said. "Ideally, a
producer will know key months
that a lack of precipitation would
result in less forage production."

able parties can also contact a crop
insurance agent or go on-line to the

South Dakota pastures now
insurable with rainfall index
and swimming, and meeting new
friends. His favorite project is
horses, and he likes the breakaway
roping class at the county show.
He believes 4-H helps him become
a better horseman because he prac-
tices for horse show and rodeo.
Dustin Enders is a Sr. member
and has enjoyed going to the SD
State Horse Show for the past
three years. He also enjoyed his ex-
perience showing beef at the West-
ern Junior Livestock Show. His
favorite project is wood science,
where he has built a bench and also
a saddle rack. He says 4-H really
helps him with public speaking.
Savannah Solon is a Jr. 4-H
member whose favorite project is
horses and she likes the county
horse show and the Black Hills
Stock Show quiz bowl. She also
thinks 4-H benefits her through
public speaking.
Hunter Johnson is a Jr. 4-Her
who has a great memory of riding
his bull to the six-second buzzer at
the State 4-H Rodeo this year. His
favorite project area is rodeo. He
thinks 4-H helps him meet new
friends and helps the community.
Tagg Weller just moved up
from being a Clover Bud to a Be-
ginner 4-Her. He is looking forward
to showing his cat, Boo, in 4-H. He
also collects rocks and will enter
them in the hobbies and collections
project area.
Gage Weller is a Jr. and his fa-
vorite 4-H experiences are attend-
ing Camp Bob and going to the
State Fair where he shows sheep.
He has several favorite projects:
Horse, beef, sheep and home envi-
ronment because he made a camo
chair this year and had a lot of fun
spray painting it. He says 4-H has
made him a better speaker and he
is looking forward to the scholar-
ship opportunities, and he hopes to
get a chance to go to Washington,
DC on the Citizen Washington
Focus trip when he is old enough.
4-H has something for all youth.

4-H is one of the largest youth
development programs in America
with more than 6.5 million youth,
ages 5-19. It is the only develop-
ment program with direct access to
technological advances from uni-
versity research. 4-H is operated
and supported by a shared leader-
ship of public and private partners
including National 4-H Headquar-
ters, USDA within the Cooperative
State Research, Education and Ex-
tension Service; 3,500 Cooperative
Extension educators (called pro-
gram advisors in SD) associated
with 106 land-grant universities;
National 4-H Council; 4-H associa-
tions and foundations; and trained
youth and adult volunteers. This
is how SDSU, South Dakotas only
land grant university, benefits the
4-H program.
Youth learn leadership, citizen-
ship and life skills through more
than 1,000 projects with topics var-
ied as public speaking, photogra-
phy, community service, rocketry,
livestock and graphic design.
Learn by doing is the fundamen-
tal 4-H ideal. Youth are encouraged
to experiment, innovate and think
independently.
4-H programs are offered
through community clubs, school-
based, after- school and camp set-
tings, and U.S. military
installations worldwide. Studies
show that 4-H members do better
in school, are more motivated to
help others, feel safe to try new
things, achieve a sense of self-es-
teem, and develop lasting friend-
ships.
More than 60 million young peo-
ple across American have been 4-H
members since 4-H began in 1902.
Famous alumni include Al Gore,
Faith Hill and David Letterman.
Also, 14 governors, 33 university
presidents, 31 CEOs and four as-
tronauts are 4-H alumni.
Here is what some of the area 4-
H members have to say about 4-H:
McKenzie Stilwell is a Sr. 4-H
member and his favorite 4-H expe-
rience was creating a European
mount for his home environment
project, where he received a purple
award. His favorite project is beef,
and he showed two calves at
achievement days. He says 4-H has
helped him become a better
speaker and it also builds charac-
ter.
Hudson Johnson is a Jr. mem-
ber. His favorite 4-H experience is
going to Camp Bob and canoeing

the grant application can not be
done.
The grant application can be
submitted at later time, but the
grant only provides funding for
50% of the total project. The project
is estimated at $300,000, and the
county does not have $150,000 for
the remaining costs.
The county could pass an opt-out
for the library, but the deadline to
do this was in July. If the opt-out is
pursued, it would need to be ap-
proved by July 2013, which would
be assessed in 2014, but revenue
from the opt-out would not be col-
lected until 2015.
In conclusion, whether the
county receives the grant or ob-
tains a loan from a lending com-
pany, it would be quite some time
before the county would have rev-
enue to pay for the library project.
The commissioners stated that
due to a lack of interest, the grant
would not be pursued at this time.
The commissioners entered ex-
ecutive session at 5:05 p.m. for per-
sonnel matters with Johnston and
Wilson in attendance. They re-
turned to open session at 5:07 p.m.
with no action taken.
With no further business to dis-
cuss, the meeting adjourned.

When living at home becomes
difficult, most people would rather
remain in a home-like setting than
move to an assisted living center.
In moments like this, the Veterans
Affairs Medical Foster Home pro-
gram can help.
Some veterans do not have any-
one they can live with when they
need a higher level of care, said
Michelle Hough, MFH coordinator
at VA Black Hills Health Care Sys-
tem For many, that has meant
going into a facility. MFH offers
them the option of staying in a
home setting, with the care they
need and deserve.
MFH provides an alternative to
nursing home placement for a vet-
eran who may be chronically or ter-
minally ill with limited social
support. The program begins when
a private individual or couple de-
cides they want to become care-
givers, and take veterans into their
home. VA ensures the home and
caregivers meet high standards
through inspections, background
checks, references and CPR and
first aid certifications.
Once the home and caregivers
are approved, the MFH coordinator
will work with veterans and family
members towards placement. This
involves the veteran, and any fam-
ily members, visiting the MFH and
meeting the caregivers to ensure a
good fit.
When a veteran is placed in a
home, they are assisted through
the VA home based primary care
program. This program provides a
team of medical professionals who
offer primary care in the home set-
ting. The veteran pays the care-
giver directly and VA continues to
provide the medical care and over-
sight.
The MFH program at VA
BHHCS was officially certified Au-
gust 29. There is currently one ap-
proved home in the Black Hills
with two veterans placed. If inter-
ested in becoming a caregiver to a
veteran in need, contact Gary Mc-
Clure at 605-745-2000, extension

The Internal Revenue Service
has urged taxpayers whose tax-fil-
ing extension runs out on Oct. 15 to
double check their returns for
often-overlooked tax benefits and
then file their returns electroni-
cally using IRS e-file or theFree
File system.
Many of the more than 11 mil-
lion taxpayers who requested an
automatic six-month extension this
year have yet to file. Though Oct.
15 is the last day for most people,
some still have more time, includ-
ing members of the military and
others serving in Iraq, Afghanistan
or other combat zone localities who
typically have until at least 180
days after they leave the combat
zone to both file returns and pay
any taxes due. People with exten-
sions in parts of Louisiana and
Mississippiaffected by Hurricane
Isaac also have more time, until
Jan. 11, 2013, to file and pay.
Check Out Tax Benefits
Before filing, the IRS encour-
ages taxpayers to take a moment to
see if they qualify for these and
other often-overlookedcredits and
deductions:
Benefits for low-and moderate-
income workers and families, espe-
cially the Earned Income Tax
Credit. The special EITC Assistant
can help taxpayers see if theyre el-
igible.
Savers credit, claimed on Form
8880, for low-and moderate-income
workers who contributed to a re-
tirement plan, such as an IRA or
401(k.
American Opportunity Tax
Credit, claimed on Form 8863, and
other education tax benefits for
parents and college students.
E-file Now: Its Fast,
Easy and Often Free
The IRS urged taxpayers to
choose the speed and convenience
of electronic filing. IRS e-file is fast,
accurate and secure, making it an
ideal option for those rushing to
meet the Oct. 15 deadline. The tax
agency verifies receipt of an e-filed
return, and people who file elec-
tronically make fewer mistakes too.
Everyone can use Free File, ei-
ther the brand-name software, of-
fered by IRS commercial partners
to individuals and families with in-
comes of $57,000 or less, or online
fillable forms, the electronic ver-
sion of IRS paper forms available to
taxpayers at all income levels.
Taxpayers who purchase their
own software can also choose e-file,
and most paid tax preparers are
now required to file their clients
returns electronically.
Anyone expecting a refund can
get it sooner by choosing direct de-
posit. Taxpayers can choose to have
their refunds deposited into as
many as three accounts. See Form
8888 for details.
Quick and Easy
Payment Options
For unemployed workers who
filed Form 1127-A and qualified to
get an extension to pay their 2011
federal income tax, Oct. 15 is also
the last day to pay what they owe,
including interest at the rate of 3
percent per year, compounded
daily. Doing so will avoid the late-
payment penalty, normally 0.5 per-
cent per month.
Taxpayers can e-pay what they
owe, either online or by phone,
through the Electronic Federal Tax
Payment System(EFTPS), by elec-
tronic funds withdrawal or with a
credit or debit card. There is no IRS
fee for any of these services, but for
debit and credit card payments
only, the private-sector card proces-
sors do charge a convenience fee.
For those who itemize their deduc-
tions, these fees can be claimed on
Schedule A Line 23. Those who
choose to pay by check or money
order should make the payment
out to the United States Treas-
ury.
Taxpayers with extensions
should file their returns by Oct. 15,
even if they cant pay the full
amount due. Doing so will avoid
the late-filing penalty, normally
five percent per month, that would
otherwise apply to any unpaid bal-
ance after Oct. 15. However, inter-
est and late-payment penalties will
continue to accrue.
Fresh Start for
Struggling Taxpayers
In many cases, those struggling
to pay taxes qualify for one of sev-
eral relief programs, including
those expanded earlier this year
under the IRS "Fresh Start" initia-
tive.
Most people can set up a pay-
ment agreement with the IRS on
line in a matter of minutes. Those
who owe $50,000 or less in com-
bined tax, penalties and interest
can use the Online Payment Agree-
ment to set up a monthly payment
agreement for up to six years or re-
quest a short-term extension to
pay. Taxpayers can choose this op-
tion even if they have not yet re-
ceived a bill or notice from the IRS.
Taxpayers can also request a
payment agreement by filing Form
9465-FS. This form can be down-
loaded from IRS.govand mailed
along with a tax return, bill or no-
tice.
Alternatively, some struggling
taxpayers qualify for an offer-in-
compromise. This is an agreement
between a taxpayer and the IRS
that settles the taxpayers tax lia-
bilities for less than the full
amount owed. Generally, an offer
will not be accepted if the IRS be-
lieves the liability can be paid in
full as a lump sum or through a
payment agreement. The IRS looks
at the taxpayers income and assets
to make a determination regarding
the taxpayers ability to pay.
Details on all filing and payment
options are on IRS.gov.
Tax-filing, payment extension

Influenza has been detected in
South Dakota, prompting a state
health official to urge universal
vaccination.
We have already reported four
confirmed cases of influenza, all
children, said Dr. Lon Kightlinger,
State Epidemiologist for the de-
partment. Fortunately the vaccine
is readily available this year and
now is a good time to be vacci-
nated.
Kightlinger noted that 51.1% of
South Dakotans over age 6 months
were vaccinated against the flu
during the 2011-2012 season, the
highest rate in the nation.
Annual flu vaccination is recom-
mended for everyone, but some
groups are at higher risk for com-
plications pregnant women, peo-
ple over 50 years and people with
chronic medical conditions. Health-
care workers and household con-
tacts of high risk populations such
as those with young infants in the
household should especially be vac-
cinated.
Dr. Kightlinger encouraged par-
ents to take advantage of the free
flu vaccine the state offers for kids
from six months to 18 years. Kids
account for a significant number of
flu cases and hospitalizations each
year and also help spread the ill-
ness in the community. Vaccinating
children protects them and the peo-
ple around them.
South Dakotans can also pre-
vent the spread of the flu by prac-
ticing the common sense measures
of the department's "Stopping the
flu starts with you" campaign:
Wash your hands often with
soap and water or use alcohol-
based hand gel if you cant wash;
Cover your mouth when you
cough or sneeze;
Don't touch your eyes, nose or
mouth;
Stay home if you're sick.
Influenza is a viral respiratory
illness marked by the sudden onset
of fever, headache, extreme tired-
ness, dry cough, sore throat, runny
or stuffy nose and muscle aches. It
spreads when an infected person
coughs, sneezes or talks, sending
the highly contagious virus into the
air. Learn more at http://flu.sd.gov.
Time for influenza vaccination
could be used as an exit from each
room.
Agree on a meeting place out-
side the home where family mem-
bers can make contact after
escaping from the house.
Practice the plan at least twice
a year, with everyone in the home
involved in the practice.
Make sure to have smoke
alarms in the home and make sure
the batteries are fresh.
Firefighters in South Dakota do
a great job. Fire Prevention Week
is a time to recognize that, Merri-
man said. Its also a good time to
remember that each of us is re-
sponsible for our own safety and
the safety of our loved ones in the
event of a fire.
National Fire Prevention Week
is a good time for families to sit
down and plan at least two ways to
safely escape a burning structure,
State Fire Marshal Paul Merriman
says.
National Fire Prevention Week
runs Oct. 7-13, 2012. This years
theme is Have 2 Ways Out. Mer-
riman says the theme is a reminder
that a good fire safety plan includes
more than one exit strategy from a
burning home.
Fire can be unpredictable, and
it moves more quickly than most
people realize, Merriman said.
Having an escape plan with at
least two ways out is essential to
protect your family in the event of
a fire in your home. And the escape
plan should be reviewed from time
to time. Fire Prevention Week is a
good time to do that.
Statistics from the National Fire
Protection Association say that in
2010, firefighters in the United
States responded to nearly 370,000
home structure fires. Those fires
caused 13,350 civilian injuries and
2,640 civilian deaths, as well as
$6.9 billion in direct damage.
Merriman recommends that
families:
Make a map of their home,
marking each door or window that
Fire Prevention Week
focuses on safe escapes
With archery deer, firearms an-
telope and the waterfowl seasons
upon us, the South Dakota Game
Fish and Parks Department is urg-
ing sportsmen to be aware of the
extreme fire dangers that exist
across the entire state.
Hunters in the field can help be
an extra set of eyes this time of
year to help report fires, said Em-
mett Keyser, Division of Wildlife
assistant director. GFP is taking
some proactive steps to help ease
landowner concerns, and over the
past couple of weeks weve worked
with South Dakota Wildland Fire
to coordinate placement of a single
engine air tanker (SEATs) aircraft
in Lemmon.
Were also working to contract
with a couple of volunteer fire de-
partments who will be out conduct-
ing patrols during the antelope
season, and were pleased that
South Dakota Wildland Fire has
volunteered to dispatch two of their
own fire units as well, said Keyser.
Keyser advised that a GF&P air-
craft will also conduct patrols over
the weekend in those counties
along the Missouri River.
Keyser asked that sportsmen
take a few simple precautions so
they are prepared. He urges them
to:
Equip their vehicles with a large
fire extinguisher, shovel and water
in case they may need to extin-
guish a fire. Extinguish cigarettes
with water or dirt or use an ash-
tray inside their vehicle. Walk
rather than drive and limit all ve-
hicle travel to designated roads and
trails. Never park a vehicle over
dry vegetation.
By sticking to these rules and
using extra caution, hunters can
safely enjoy their time in the field
and help ease landowner concerns,
Keyser said.

aware of fire dangers

by Clint Stout with 14, and he also
recorded his third interception of
the year. Sam Pretty Bear recorded
an individual season high 13 tack-
les.
We had to play team defense
this week to keep their athletes
under wraps and that was evident
when you look at the tackling stats.
Everyone contributed.
Rounding out the rest of the de-
fensive statistics were Chris Ander-
son with 9 tackles and 1 sack, Klay
ODaniel had 8 tackles and 1 sack,
Lane Patterson 7 tackles, Logan
Ammons had 6 tackles, True Buch-
holz 5, Chandlier Sudbeck 4,
Chance Knutson 3, Herbie O-
Daniel and Dylan Riggins each had
2, and Ryder Sanftner had 1 tackle.
Offensively it took us a while to
get going this week. With a combi-
nation of some new starters on of-
fense, coming off a bye week and it
being a while since weve seen
game speed, and of course facing
our toughest opponent to date, it
took us some time to get our timing
down and get into a rhythm. Once
we were able to do that we did
much better.
Lane Patterson started his first
game of his career at quarterback
and did a nice job. Our biggest con-
cern was ball security and Lane did
a very good job of taking care of the
ball and managing the football
game.
Chandlier Sudbeck led the team
in rushing this week with 17 car-
ries for 75 yards. Chance Knutson
ran the ball tough as he had 10 car-
ries for 47 yards and 1 touchdown.
Lane Patterson had 11 carries for
15 yards. Our offensive line did a
good job as well this week.
I think that we started to find
our rhythm again in the second
half of this game so hopefully we
can take that momentum into our
next game as we host the Colome
Cowboys for our last regular sea-
son home game of the year, Friday
night October 12th at 6:00 p.m.
Colome comes in sporting a nice 5-
1 record having only lost to Gre-
gory. Theyve got a very big
offensive and defensive line as well
as a talented back field that we will
have to contain.
Come out Friday night to sup-
port your Kougars on Senior Recog-
nition night. We will be honoring
our 10 seniors prior to the start of
the game.

The Kougar football team trav-
eled to White River last Friday
night for our sixth game of the sea-
son. The boys played tough against
a very talented White River team,
but in the end we came up short
losing 22-6.
Defensively we played a little
flat in the first half and didnt
tackle as well as we have this sea-
son, but the defense got better as
the game went on and we ended up
allowing White River the fewest
points theyve been able to score all
season.
We were led this week in tackles

On Tuesday, October 2 the
Kadoka Lady Kougars hosted the
Lyman County Raiders.
Lyman defeated Kadoka 25-21,
25-18, 25-19.
Mariah Pierce had 8 service
points and 2 aces. Raven Jorgensen
had 8 kills and 5 digs. Taylor
Merchen had 7 set assists and
Tessa Stout added 5.
This was not one of our best
played matches, but Lyman had a
lot to do with that. Lyman had
more height than us and used that
to block and hit very well. We had
a huge lead in the third set but
couldn't manage to hold it.
Our next action is Thursday, Oc-
tober 11, in New Underwood for a
triangular with Jones County and
New Underwood. On Saturday, Oc-
tober 13 we will travel to Douglas
High School.

Constitutional
Amendments
The following amendments to the State
Constitution are submitted to the voters
by the Legislature. The amendments will
not become effective unless approved by
majority vote.
Constitutional Amendment M
Title: An Amendment to the South
Dakota Constitution regarding certain
provisions relating to corporations.
Attorney General Explanation:
The Constitution currently contains
certain restrictions on the Legislatures
authority to enact laws regarding corpo-
rations. For example, corporate directors
must be elected by cumulative voting, in
which a shareholder may choose to cast
all votes for a single candidate or spread
the votes among two or more candi-
dates. Corporate stock or bonds may
only be issued for money, labor or prop-
erty received by the corporation. Corpo-
rate stock or debt may not be increased
without prior notice to and consent of cur-
rent stockholders.
Constitutional Amendment M removes
these restrictions, and allows the Legis-
lature to: (1) authorize alternative meth-
ods of voting in elections for corporate
directors; (2) expand the types of contri-
butions a corporation may receive for the
issuance of stock or bonds; and (3) es-
tablish procedures governing the in-
crease of corporate stock or debt.
A vote Yes will remove the constitu-
tional restrictions.
A vote No will leave the Constitution
as it is.
Full Text of Constitutional Amend-
ment M:
That Article XVII, section 1 of the Con-
stitution of the State of South Dakota, be
amended to read as follows:
1. No corporation shall be created or
have its charter extended, changed or
amended by special laws, except those
for charitable, educational, penal or re-
formatory purposes, which are to be and
remain under the patronage and control
of the state; but the Legislature shall pro-
vide, by general laws, for the organiza-
tion of all corporations hereafter to be
created. The Legislature shall have the
authority to enact laws governing the op-
eration and dissolution of corporations.
That Article XVII, section 5 of the Con-
stitution of the State of South Dakota, be
amended to read as follows:
5. In all elections for directors or
managers of a corporation, each mem-
ber or shareholder may cast the whole
number of his votes for one candidate, or
distribute them upon two or more candi-
dates, as he may prefer votes in the
manner consistent with laws enacted by
the Legislature.
That Article XVII, section 8 of the Con-
stitution of the State of South Dakota, be
amended to read as follows:
8. No corporation shall issue stocks
or bonds except for money, labor done,
or money or property actually received,
or for the reasonable value of other con-
tribution to the corporation; and all ficti-
tious increase of stock or indebtedness
shall be void. The stock and indebted-
ness of corporations shall not be in-
creased except in pursuance of general
law, nor without the consent of the per-
sons holding the larger amount in value
of the stock first obtained, at a meeting
to be held after sixty days notice given in
pursuance of law the manner consistent
with laws enacted by the Legislature.
Constitutional Amendment N
Title: An Amendment to the South
Dakota Constitution repealing certain re-
imbursement restrictions for travel by
legislators to and from a legislative ses-
sion.
Attorney General Explanation:
The Constitution fixes the mileage re-
imbursement rate for legislators at five
cents per mile for their travel to and from
a legislative session.
Constitutional Amendment N repeals
this constitutional limitation and allows
legislator travel reimbursement to be set
by the Legislature.
A vote Yes will eliminate the fixed
travel reimbursement rate.
A vote No will leave the Constitution
as it is.
Full Text of Constitutional Amend-
ment N:
That Article III, section 6 of the Consti-
tution of the State of South Dakota, be
amended to read as follows:
6. The terms of office of the mem-
bers of the Legislature shall be two
years; they legislators shall receive for
their services the salary fixed by law
under the provisions of 2 of article XXI
of this Constitution, and five cents for
every mile of necessary travel in going to
and returning from the place of meeting
of the Legislature on the most usual
route.
No person may serve more than four
consecutive terms or a total of eight con-
secutive years in the senate and more
than four consecutive terms or a total of
eight consecutive years in the house of
representatives. However, this restriction
does not apply to partial terms to which
a legislator may be appointed.
A regular session of the Legislature
shall be held each year and shall not ex-
ceed forty legislative days, excluding
Sundays, holidays and legislative recess,
except in cases of impeachment, and
members of the Legislature shall receive
no other pay or perquisites except salary
and mileage.
Constitutional Amendment O
Title: An Amendment to the South
Dakota Constitution changing the
method for distributions from the cement
plant trust fund.
Attorney General Explanation:
In 2001, the $238 million in proceeds
from the sale of the state cement plant
were placed in a constitutionally created
trust fund. Currently, the Constitution re-
quires a yearly transfer of $12 million
from the cement plant trust fund to the
state general fund. In addition, under cer-
tain circumstances the Legislature must
authorize distributions of cement plant
trust fund earnings for the support of ed-
ucation.
Amendment O replaces the existing
method for cement trust fund distribu-
tions. The amendment would require a
yearly transfer of 4% of the market value
of the cement plant trust fund to the state
general fund for the support of education.
A vote Yes is for changing the
method for distributions from the cement
plant trust fund.
A vote No will leave the Constitution
as it is.
Full Text of Constitutional Amend-
ment O:
That Article XIII, section 20 of the Con-
stitution of the State of South Dakota, be
amended to read as follows:
20. The net proceeds derived from
the sale of state cement enterprises shall
be deposited by the South Dakota Ce-
ment Commission in a trust fund hereby
created to benefit the citizens of South
Dakota. The South Dakota Investment
Council or its successor shall invest the
trust fund in stocks, bonds, mutual funds,
and other financial instruments as pro-
vided by law. Each fiscal year beginning
in fiscal year 2001, a transfer of twelve
million dollars shall be made from the
trust fund to the state general fund as
provided by law.
That Article XIII, section 21 of the Con-
stitution of the State of South Dakota, be
amended to read as follows:
21. Except as provided in Article XIII,
section 20 of the Constitution of the State
of South Dakota, the original principal of
the trust fund shall forever remain invio-
late. However, the The Legislature shall,
by appropriation, make distributions from
the difference between the twelve million
dollar annual general fund transfer and
five percent of the market value of the
trust fund for the support of education,
but not for the replacement of state aid to
general education or special education,
if the increase in the market value of the
trust fund in that fiscal year was sufficient
to maintain the original principal of the
trust fund after such distributions. Begin-
ning with fiscal year 2006, the market
value of the trust fund shall be deter-
mined by adding the market value of the
trust fund at the end of the sixteen most
recent calendar quarters, and dividing
that sum by sixteen transfer from the
trust fund to the state general fund four
percent of the lesser of the average mar-
ket value of the trust fund determined by
adding the market value of the trust fund
at the end of the sixteen most recent cal-
endar quarters as of December thirty-first
of that year and dividing that sum by six-
teen, or the market value of the trust fund
at the end of that calendar year for the
support of education in South Dakota.
The transfer shall be made prior to June
thirtieth of the subsequent calendar year.
Constitutional Amendment P
Title: An Amendment to the South
Dakota Constitution adding balanced
budget requirements.
Attorney General Explanation:
While the constitution currently re-
stricts the State from incurring debt, it
does not expressly require the State to
have a balanced budget. Amendment P
requires the Governor to propose a bal-
anced budget. In addition, Amendment P
prohibits legislative appropriations from
exceeding anticipated revenues and ex-
isting available funds. The amendment is
not intended to affect other constitutional
provisions
A vote Yes will include balanced
budget requirements in the Constitution.
A vote No will leave the Constitution
as it is.
Full Text of Constitutional Amend-
ment P:
That Article XII of the Constitution of
the State of South Dakota, be amended
by adding a NEW SECTION to read as
follows:
7. The Governor shall propose a
budget in which expenditures or appro-
priations may not exceed anticipated rev-
enue and existing funds available for
expenditure or appropriation. Appropria-
tions by the Legislature may not exceed
anticipated revenue and existing funds
available for expenditure or appropria-
tion. Nothing in this section is intended to
limit, restrict, expand, modify, or other-
wise affect any other provision of this
Constitution, including Article XIII.
2012 Initiated Measure
The following initiated measure was pro-
posed by petition for submission to the
voters. This initiated measure will not be-
come effective unless approved by ma-
jority vote.
Initiated Measure 15
Title: An initiated measure to increase
state general sales and use taxes for ad-
ditional K-12 public education and Medi-
caid funding
Attorney General Explanation:
The initiated measure increases the
state general sales and use tax rate from
4% to 5%. The additional tax revenue will
be split evenly between K-12 public edu-
cation and Medicaid. The education
funds will be provided to school districts
based on enrollment, to be spent on im-
proving education as school boards de-
termine. The Medicaid funds will be
spent only on payments to Medicaid
providers and related state expenses.
The additional funds cannot replace or
reduce state funding levels set for fiscal
year 2012 relating to existing Medicaid
and K-12 public education programs, in-
cluding state aid to education. Currently,
state aid is to be adjusted annually by 3%
or the rate of inflation, whichever is less.
Under the measure, this annual adjust-
ment cannot exceed the growth rate in
state general fund revenues. Any result-
ing shortfall in state aid will be made up
in subsequent years.
A vote Yes is for the proposed law.
A vote No is against the proposed
law.
Full Text of Initiated Measure 15:
1. Commencing January 1, 2013,
twenty percent of the monies collected
pursuant to the South Dakota sales and
use taxes imposed by SDCL chapters
10-45 and 10-46 shall be placed in a spe-
cial fund known as the Moving South
Dakota Forward fund. The monies in the
Moving South Dakota Forward fund shall
be allocated into the following two sub-
funds within the Moving South Dakota
Forward fund (1) fifty percent shall be al-
located to the Moving K-12 Education
Forward subfund; and (2) fifty percent
shall be allocated to the Moving Health-
care Forward subfund.
2. Monies allocated in Section 1 of this
initiated measure shall be disbursed as

cation Forward sub-fund are continu-
ously appropriated to the public school
districts of South Dakota, to be distrib-
uted pro rata based upon each school

as defined in SDCL chapter 13-13, com-
pared to the fall enrollment of all school
districts. Funds deposited in the Moving
K-12 Education Forward subfund in the
preceding calendar quarter shall be dis-
tributed, provided above, to the public
school districts of South Dakota by the
first business day of February, May, Au-
gust, and November of each year, com-
mencing May 1, 2013. Funds received by
a school district form the Moving K-12
Education Forward subfund shall be

purpose of improving public education;
(2) Eighty percent of the monies in
the Moving Healthcare Forward subfund

penses related to the reimbursement
rates paid to service providers per unit of
service in excess of such reimbursement
rates in effect as of July 1, 2011; and
(3) Twenty percent of the monies in
the Moving Health Care Forward sub-
fund shall be spent only for the purpose
of funding expenses related to payments

1, 2011.
3. No monies deposited in the Moving
K-12 Education Forward subfund may be

rectly, to reduce, supplant, or replace ap-
propriations for any state K-12 education
program in existence for state fiscal year
2012, including specifically the state aid
to education and special education pro-
grams established in SDCL chapters 13-
13 and 13-37. The per student allocation
in SDCL chapter 13-13 and the per stu-
dent allocation for each specified disabil-
ity in SDCL chapter 13-37 shalll be
adjusted by the annual application of
their respective index factors, as set forth
in SDCL subdivisions 13-13-10.1(3) and
13-37-35.1(6), as in effect on July 1,
2011. However, the index factor adjust-
ment shall, in no case, exceed the actual
percentage growth in state general fund
revenues for the most recently com-
pleted fiscal year. If the percentage
growth in state general fund revenues is
less than the index factor sin any year,
the difference shall be made up in the im-
mediately following years to the extent
the percentage growth in state general
fund revenues exceeds the index factors.
4. No monies deposited in the Moving
Health Care Forward subfund may be
spent in any way, either directly or indi-
rectly, to reduce, supplant, or replace
state appropriations for any state Medi-
caid program in existence for state fiscal
year 2012.

or use tax imposed at a rate of four per-
cent by the provisions of SDCL chapters

one percent each to a total rate of five
percent each.

these merit bonus programs altogether,
resulting in re-allocation of its merit
bonus funds to other participating school
districts.

uniform statewide system for evaluating
teachers and principals, including a rat-
ing system.
Fifth, the referred law eliminates state
requirements for continuing contracts
(tenure) for teachers who do not
achieve tenure by July 1, 2016. School

ical Teaching Needs Scholarship Board
may temporarily waive the requirements
of those subdivisions. The board may re-
scind a scholarship award if the student
does not maintain eligibility as prescribed

lowing factors as determined by the
school board:
(1) Mentoring of less experienced
teachers;
(2) Curriculum development;
(3) Assessment development;
(4) Data analysis;
(5) Service to the local district, state,
or national committees or task forces;
(6) Leadership in a professional
learning community;
(7) National board certification;
(8) Other leadership activities or
recognitions; and
(9) Other additional criteria as deter-
mined by the school board.
Section 24. No later than August first of
each year, the school board of each
school district shall determine which par-
ticipating teachers, if any, are selected to
receive top teacher rewards for the previ-
ous school year according to the criteria
in section 23 of this Act. The number of
teachers selected may not exceed the
number of eligible positions referenced in
sections 19 and 20 of this Act.
Section 25. Department of Education
may require each school district to pro-
vide any information necessary to verify
the district's compliance with sections 20
to 24, inclusive, of this Act. Upon a finding
of noncompliance, the department may
require the district to return any funds dis-
tributed contrary to the requirements of
this Act.
Section 26. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Act, public school dis-
tricts may opt out of the top teacher re-
ward program by providing written notice
to the Department of Education. The no-
tice shall be approved by a majority of the
school board and signed by the school
board president. The department shall
provide forms for this purpose. Beginning
in 2014, the notice shall be postmarked
no earlier than January first, and no later
than January thirty-first, of each year in
order to be effective for the next school
year. The district shall provide a separate
form for each school year for which the
district desires to opt out. If a school dis-
trict fails to follow the requirements of this
section, the attempt to opt out is void, and
the district shall comply with the require-
ments of the top teacher reward program.
If a district opts out pursuant to this
section, the teachers employed in the dis-
trict are not eligible to participate in the
top teacher reward program. The district
shall provide written notice to each certi-
fied teacher of the teacher's ineligibility for
the program before executing a teaching
contract with the teacher for the school
year for which the opt out is effective.
School districts may not opt out of the
math and science teacher incentive pro-
gram established pursuant to this Act.
Section 27. If a school district opts out
pursuant to section 26 of this Act, all
funds which the district would have been
eligible to receive for the top teacher pro-
gram pursuant to this Act shall be redis-
tributed as follows:
(1) To obtain the redistribution
amount, the Department of Education
shall calculate the number of positions
that would have been eligible for the top
teacher reward program in each opt out
district pursuant to section 19 of this Act,
and multiply that calculation by five thou-
sand seven hundred dollars;
(2) No later than May first of each
year, at the same time that foundation
program state aid is distributed to a
school district pursuant to 13-13-10.1
to 13-13-41, inclusive, the department
shall allocate the redistribution amount,
on a pro rata basis, to each public school
district that did not opt out of the top
teacher reward program or is participating
in a local teacher reward program pur-
suant to sections 28 to 35, inclusive, of
this Act. Each district's pro rata share of
the redistribution amount shall be based
on the number of full-time equivalent cer-
tified teacher positions in the district, as
measured by the district's annual teacher
data collection pursuant to 13-3-51 and
any rules promulgated pursuant to that
section; and
(3) No later than September first of
each year, the redistribution amount re-
ceived by each district pursuant to subdi-
vision (2) shall be distributed equally
among all teachers receiving top teacher
rewards in the district pursuant to sec-
tions 17 to 25, inclusive, of this Act, or
among all teachers receiving local
teacher rewards pursuant to sections 28
to 35, inclusive, of this Act, but each dis-
trict may withhold an amount necessary
to pay the district's share of applicable
federal taxes, the district's share of con-
tributions to the South Dakota Retirement
System, and administrative costs. Any
funds not distributed according to this
subdivision shall be returned to the De-
partment of Education within thirty days.
Section 28. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Act, a public school dis-
trict may create a local teacher reward
plan to act as a substitute for the top
teacher reward program beginning in the
2014-2015 school year. If the local
teacher reward plan is developed in com-
pliance with sections 28 to 35, inclusive,
of this Act, the district may utilize the local
teacher reward plan to provide the district
with the flexibility to use the funds that
would otherwise be provided to the dis-
trict through the top teachers reward pro-
gram.
Participation in the local teacher re-
ward plan is voluntary. Rewards shall
supplement but not replace what a
teacher receives under a contract be-
tween the teacher and the school district
or a collective bargaining agreement be-
tween a district and the district's teachers.
No collective bargaining agreement be-
tween a district and the district's teachers
may limit the ability of a teacher to qualify
for or receive a local teacher reward.
Nothing in sections 28 to 35, inclusive, of
this Act, is intended to create a contrac-
tual right or property right in local teacher
rewards.
Teachers in the district may not partic-
ipate in the top teacher reward program
for any school year for which the district
has adopted a local teacher reward plan.
The district shall provide written notice to
each certified teacher of the teacher's in-
eligibility for the top teacher reward pro-
gram and provide a copy of the district's
local teacher reward plan to each certified
teacher before executing a teaching con-
tract with the teacher for the school year
for which the local teacher reward plan is
effective.
Section 29. The local teacher reward
plan shall reward certified teachers in the
district based upon one or more of the fol-
lowing criteria:
(1) Demonstrating an impact on stu-
dent achievement;
(2) Demonstrating teacher leader-
ship; or
(3) Market based needs of the
school district based upon critical teach-
ing area needs of the school district.
Section 30. There is hereby estab-
lished the Local Teacher Reward Plan Ad-
visory Council. The council shall provide
input in developing one or more model
local teacher reward plan applications
based upon the criteria in section 29 of
this Act. The work group shall be ap-

(1) A combination of six principals
and superintendents: two from an ele-

shall promulgate rules, pursuant to chap-
ter 1-26, establishing the application form
for the local teacher reward plan, further
guidelines for district applications based
on the criteria in section 29 of this Act, a
system to monitor whether each partici-
pating school district is complying with the
local teacher reward plan, and penalties
for noncompliance.
Section 32. There is hereby estab-
lished the Local Teacher Reward Plan
Oversight Board. The board shall consist
of the following members:

the local teacher reward plan to the up-
coming school year.
By March fifteenth of each year, the
Local Teacher Reward Plan Oversight
Board shall review all applications to de-
termine compliance with this Act, and any
rules promulgated thereto. The board
may request additional information from
the district as part of the review of the ap-
plication. By April first of each year, the
board shall inform each district whether
the district's local teacher reward plan has
been approved for the upcoming school
year. If the application is denied, the dis-
trict may adopt a model plan established
pursuant to section 30 of this Act or opt
out pursuant to sections 26 and 27 of this
Act.
Section 34. If a district's local teacher
reward plan is approved, the Department
of Education shall calculate the number
of positions in the district that would have
been eligible for the top teacher reward
program pursuant to section 19 of this Act
and multiply that calculation by five thou-
sand seven hundred dollars. No later than
May first of each year, at the same time
that foundation program state aid is dis-
tributed to the district pursuant to 13-
13-10.1 to 13-13-41, inclusive, the
secretary of the Department of Education

share of applicable federal taxes, the dis-
trict's share of contributions to the South
Dakota Retirement System, and adminis-
trative costs. Any funds not distributed ac-
cording to this section shall be returned
to the Department of Education within
thirty days.
Section 36. A teacher may apply for
both the math and science teacher incen-
tive program and the top teachers reward
program established pursuant to this Act
or both the math and science teacher in-
centive program and the local teacher re-
ward plan established pursuant to this
Act.

fessional performance standards estab-
lished by the Board of Education pursuant
to 13-42-33;
(2) Require multiple measures;
(3) Serve as the basis for programs
to increase professional growth and de-

single year or multiple years of data. This
quantitative data shall be based on re-
ports of student performance on state val-
idated assessments established pursuant
to 13-3-55. For those teachers in
grades and subjects for which there is no
state-validated assessment for the quan-
titative portion of the evaluation, teachers

a teacher shall be based on qualitative,
observable, evidence-based characteris-
tics of good teaching and classroom prac-
tices as further defined in the model
evaluation instrument referenced in sec-
tion 40 of this Act. Districts may collect
additional evidence using any of the fol-

Chances are, if you receive So-
cial Security benefits, Supplemen-
tal Security Income (SSI), or any
federal payment, you receive it
electronically. If you dont yet,
thats about to change.
There is a U.S. Department of
Treasury rule that does away with
paper checks for most federal ben-
efit and non-tax payments by
March 1, 2013. With a few excep-
tions, this mandate includes Social
Security, SSI, Veterans Affairs,
Railroad Retirement Board, Office
of Personnel Management benefits,
and other non-tax payments.
People required to switch have
the option of direct deposit to a
bank or credit union account or
they can have their monthly pay-
ment directed into a Direct Ex-
press debit card account
(Treasurys debit card program).
Please visit www.godirect.org to
learn more.
So, why the push for electronic
payments instead of paper checks
received in the mail? Theres a list
of reasons an electronic payment
is better than an old-fashioned
paper check.
Its safer: no risk of checks being
lost or stolen; its easy and reliable:
no need to wait for the mail or go
to the bank to cash a check; it
saves taxpayers money: no cost for
postage and paper and printing;
Treasury estimates this will save
taxpayers $1 billion over 10 years;
and its good for the environment:
it saves paper and eliminates the
need for physical transportation.
If you still get your check in the
mail, dont wait for the new rule to
go into effect next year, sign up for
electronic payments now.

Heart Healthy Dessert Ideas
Heart healthy eating refers to
choosing foods that are low in sat-
urated fat and sodium and high in
fiber. Healthy eating doesnt mean
giving up the foods and beverages
you like the best. Desserts, though
not a food group, can serve a spe-
cial role within healthy eating. By
choosing low-calorie, low-fat
desserts, you can end your meal
with something sweet, that doesnt
have to be unhealthy.
When we think of desserts, we
often think of traditional sweets
such as ice cream, cake, and cook-
ies. The ingredients in these types
of desserts often provide little nu-
trition, and in large amounts can
be harmful to your health. These
dessert choices are often high in
saturated fat and trans fat that
raise the bad cholesterol and in-
crease total cholesterol overall. Too
much added sugar and fat in your
diet may increase your risk of
weight gain, cardiovascular dis-
ease and diabetes.
Desserts can be included in a
healthy diet as long as your calorie
budget is not exceeded and food
group recommendations are met.
As an example, if your My Plate
daily food plan allows 2,000 calo-
ries, then you have 267 discre-
tionary calories each day, but no
more than half of these calories
should come from added sugar.
Discretionary calories can be de-
fined as the balance of energy calo-
ries remaining after eating
sufficient amounts of nutrient-
dense foods.
Identify challenging ingredients
and modify your dessert recipes for
healthier ways to enjoy an after-
meal dessert. If a recipe calls for
sour cream, replace it with fat-free
plain yogurt or fat-free sour cream.
Replace cream cheese with a fat-
free or low-fat version. When a fa-
vorite recipe calls for butter, use
applesauce, pumpkin puree or
prune puree instead, for half of the
butter, shortening or oil. In most
baked goods, you can reduce the
amount of sugar by one-half.
Heavy cream can be replaced with
1 cup evaporated skim milk or 1/2
cup low-fat yogurt plus 1/2 cup
plain low-fat unsalted cottage
cheese. Intensify sweetness by
adding cinnamon, vanilla or nut-
meg. Sugar-sweetener blends can
also be used. You can still enjoy the
wonderful desserts that you love so
much. By making a few adjust-
ments in ingredients, you can
make these foods healthier, with-
out sacrificing the taste.
Healthier dessert options in-
clude naturally sweet, fresh fruit
such as peaches, berries, melons
and bananas. They provide fiber
and are fat-free. Also consider low-
fat frozen yogurt, fruit sorbet or
sherbet (these are often fat-free),
or angel food cake topped with
fresh fruit.
If your family has a tradition of
eating dessert at the end of each
meal or you simply crave sweet
treats, try a few new, healthy
dessert recipes by going to

sion Service. American author,

first. Eating a healthy dessert
choice would result in less guilt.

Dogs Pocket Gophers vs.
Moles and Their Control
Pocket gophers and moles have
similarities, and distinct differ-
ences. Both animals spend the ma-
jority of their time below ground,
and cause homeowners headaches
with their burrowing activity.
Pocket gophers also cause prob-
lems for farmers and ranchers,
particularly in hayfields, where
the dirt mounds they create inter-
feres with hay harvest.
Determining which pest is in-
volved is important in implement-
ing a control method, and the best
way to do so is by the signs that
can be seen above ground. Often,
the only visible sign of pocket go-
phers is the mounds they construct
as they return below ground after
their occasional visits into the
open air. Pocket gopher mounds
are generally fan or kidney-
shaped, as opposed to the smaller,
usually round mounds made by
moles. Pocket gopher burrows are
typically deep enough to remain
largely undetected from the soil
surface, whereas at least some of
the burrows moles create show up
as undulating, raised runways.
Pocket gophers are rodents, and
therefore plant feeders, not only
causing damage and being a nui-
sance because of their mound
building habits, but cause some di-
rect loss by feeding on the roots of
plants, somewhat on aboveground
vegetation, and pulling vegetation
into their tunnels from below.
They are also known to damage
plastic water lines and electrical
cables by chewing on them.
Moles on the other hand, are
not rodents, but insectivores. Their
diet consists mainly of the insects,
grubs, and worms they find in the
soil. Moles are thought to damage
roots and tubers by feeding on
them, but rodents usually are to
blame. Although moles remove
damaging insects from lawns and
gardens, their burrowing habits
are not viewed favorably.
Due to the moles exclusive diet
of insects, toxic grain baits are sel-
dom effective, although two poi-
sons are federally registered for
use on them. Pocket gophers how-
ever, being herbivores, can be con-
trolled with poison baits. The baits
can be applied in burrows by hand
on a small scale, or with a mechan-
ical burrow builder if dealing with
a field scale infestation.
Fumigants are possible meth-
ods of controlling both pocket go-
phers and moles, but they have
been known to close off burrows so
the fumigant cannot get to them.
The fumigant may also move too
slowly through the burrow system
to be effective. Carbon monoxide
from automobile exhaust can be ef-
fective due to its greater volume
and pressure. Fumigating can also
be quite time-consuming and labor
intensive.
Due to their somewhat solitary
nature, and the fact that one
pocket gopher or one mole can con-
struct an extensive burrow system,
trapping is considered very suc-
cessful for both pests. For pocket
gophers, trapping is best for small
areas and animals not controlled
with a poisoning control program.
Because of somewhat different
habits and size, different traps are
intended for each pest. Both go-
pher traps and mole traps can be
purchased at many hardware
stores.
There are also cultural and
other methods of minimizing dam-
age from both pocket gophers and
moles. More information on pre-
venting and stopping damage from
pocket gophers, moles and other
wildlife can be obtained from the
Internet Center for Wildlife Dam-
age Management:

your Regional Extension Center.

Farmers and ranchers who pre-
viously were forced to sell livestock
due to drought, like the drought
currently affecting much of the na-
tion, have an extended period of
time in which to replace the live-
stock and defer tax on any gains
from the forced sales, the Internal
Revenue Service announced today.
Farmers and ranchers who, due
to drought, sell more livestock than
they normally would may defer tax
on the extra gains from those sales.
To qualify, the livestock generally
must be replaced within a four-
year period. The IRS is authorized
to extend this period if the drought
continues.
The one-year extension of the re-
placement period announced today
generally applies to capital gains
realized by eligible farmers and
ranchers on sales of livestock held
for draft, dairy or breeding pur-
poses due to drought. Sales of other
livestock, such as those raised for
slaughter or held for sporting pur-
poses, and poultry are not eligible.
The IRS is providing this relief
to any farm located in a county,
parish, city or district, listed as suf-
fering exceptional, extreme or se-
vere drought conditions by the
National Drought Mitigation Cen-
ter (NDMC), during any weekly pe-
riod between Sept. 1, 2011, and
Aug. 31, 2012. All or part of 43
states are listed. Any county con-
tiguous to a county listed by the
NDMC also qualifies for this relief.
As a result, farmers and ranch-
ers in these areas whose drought
sale replacement period was sched-
uled to expire at the end of this tax
year, Dec. 31, 2012, in most cases,
will now have until the end of their
next tax year. Because the normal
drought sale replacement period is
four years, this extension immedi-
ately impacts drought sales that oc-
curred during 2008. But because of
previous drought-related exten-
sions affecting some of these local-
ities, the replacement periods for
some drought sales before 2008 are
also affected. Additional extensions
will be granted if severe drought
conditions persist.
Details on this relief, including
