Patrick Solon look at the street in
front of his house as the old asphalt
is breaking up.
Glenn Freeman commended the
city for the asphalt work done on
Locust Street.
Moving on to the agenda item of
the comprehensive plan, Mayor
Harry Weller asked if the council
was ready to vote. He informed the
council and the audience of approx-
imately 15 people, that if it passes
it may go through the referendum
process; if it fails it may go through
the initiative process.
With only four members of the
council present, Glenn Freeman re-
quested there be a full council be-
fore the council makes a decision.
Ryan Willert agreed.
There was discussion as to
whether they should go forward
with a full council or the next meet-
ing.
Brad Jorgensen said maybe the
council should just vote on it and
let the people have their say.
Mayor Weller said, through an
executive order, I will postpone the
vote until the September 10 meet-
ing.
A building permit for Bill Mur-
phy was approved for a 12x40
open-front storage building.
Finance Officer Patty Ulmen

ance for the next year.
The quote from BankWest In-
surance was $7,698.00. South
Dakota Municipal Leagues four-
month quote prorated out to be
$7,706.00.
Ulmen recommended that the
city continue with BankWest and a
motion carried.
Under the council reports, Colby
Shuck said Jackie Stilwell is put-
ting together facts and figures for
the council to make an informed
decision as to raise or not to raise
the water rates. This will be dis-
cussed at the next meeting.
It was questioned during the
street report if the city gets any tax
dollars from the garbage pickup
businesses. The answer was yes,
sales tax comes back to the city.
JoBeth Uhlir said she would like
to have karaoke or a dance the last
weekend in September.
Brad Jorgensen said hed talked
to Rich Hildebrand about sidewalk
repairs which included the side-
walk in front of the bar and fire
hall.
Hildebrand said he would cut
out a strip of cement along the
front of the bar, put a tan die in it
to give a decorative look.
Hildebrand will also put to-
gether a quote for the fire hall side-
walk where the grate is bad and
cement is crumbling.

will need to be finalized by Septem-
ber 1.
On a high note, the city will not
be looking at raising taxes.
The Kadoka City Council met
Monday, August 13 for their
monthly meeting. With Micki Word
and Dick Stolley absent, there was
just enough for a quorum.
Prior minutes, the bills and fi-
nancial statement were approved.
Under citizens input, Cindy
Willert addressed the council with
a request. She asked that Mayor
Weller forward a letter she had
written to Harvest States to the
city attorney. In that, she re-
quested that the old Hubbard ele-
vator be torn down. She said a
portion of it had already been dis-
mantled by Irelands, however, in
strong winds, pieces of the building
are being blown from the building.
Weller said the council couldnt
take action at the time, but he
would work on the request and
make final approval at the next
meeting.
Bob Fugate said those that
stated their opposition to the com-
prehensive plan at the last meet-
ing were not using scare tactics,
City takes no action on comprehensive
plan, will be on September 10 agenda
There will be a Tablet handbook
meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday
August 22. The meeting will be
held in the help desk room at the

cluded a dunk tank, fish pond,
duck pond, balloon darts, hoop
shoot, cake walk, bean bag toss and
a blow up jumping castle. The fa-
vorites were the dunk tank, jump-

made ice cream, compliments of
KNH carnival very successful

Meals for
the Elderly
Isaiah 40:28-31
God has a purpose and plan for your life, and His
timing is perfect. Sometimes He answers our prayers
with "yes" or "no." But at other times, He says "not
now"--when that is the case, we can avail ourselves of
the rich rewards that come when we wait.
One very practical blessing is that God strengthens us as we lean on Him during delays. Isaiah 40:31
tells us that "those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength." We are given the metaphor of an eagle
with wind beneath his wings. It is interesting to note that the words "wind" and "spirit" come from the
same Greek word--pneuma. The spirit of God lifts us up, and His energy and strength sustain us as we
abide in Him.
When we are facing a difficult decision, the real key is learning to wait. There is no verse of Scripture
that tells us to take control and fight our own battles. God is the one who fights them on our behalf (2
Chron. 20:15). We are to be patient and trust in Him.
When David faced his greatest battles, he waited upon the Lord. God delivered him from destruction
and set his feet on solid ground. (Ps. 40:1-3) He will do the same for you. When you abide in Him, He
gives supernatural energy to accomplish the things He requires of you--His Spirit does for you what you
cannot do for yourself.
In reading through the Scriptures, we see that every time one of God's saints gains a victory, he or she
is waiting and trusting in the Lord. You can likewise experience triumph in your life. When you have the
omnipotent Creator of the universe acting on your behalf, you cannot lose.
Strength in Waiting
Inspiration Point
As the years go by, I feel like I
am turning into a true cynic.
I am especially critical of push-
ing the advance of technology
when it costs so very much, carries
with it significant risk, and then
doesnt offer a better result for the
patient.
Take for example ordering CT
scans of the head for children or
adults who have had minor head
trauma. In a blink it adds $2000+
to the bill, causes significant life-
time radiation exposure, and, un-
less the trauma resulted in a
CHANGE IN MENTAL STATUS
OR loss of consciousness, does not
improve outcomes over simply
monitoring the child through the
night. Yet expectations of family
and liability risk have made CT
scans of head almost standard of
care for minor head trauma.
I find myself critical of excessive
surgeries. There are studies find-
ing many more back surgeries in
certain parts of the country com-
pared with others; causing great
expense, significant risk, and no
evidence of less pain as a result.
The C-section rate is significantly
higher in one community than an-
other, also expensive, risky, and
without improved health statistics
for the mother or baby.
Take a look at cholesterol lower-
ing medicine, which accounts for a
$55 billion dollar yearly expense to
our country, causes significant side
effects of muscle pain especially in
the elderly, while for people who
have NOT already had a heart at-
tack, there is no good evidence or
science to show statins prevent
heart attacks, or save lives. Whats
more many patients may have a
false sense of security by taking
these drugs and are thus less will-
ing to make good lifestyle choices
such as exercising daily AND A
HEALTHY DIET.
But there is something in mod-
ern medicine that gets tremendous
bang for the buck, carries very low
risk, and has made a huge impact
on the health of millions of people,
in this country and world-wide.
This is the technology of targeted
stimulation of the individual im-
mune system with vaccine. Immu-
nization programs have stopped
dreaded polio in the 50s, reduced
heart and neural disability from
measles in the 60s, wiped small-
pox from the earth in the 70s, and
greatly reduced life-threatening
meningitis, pneumonia, and in-
fluenza during the 80s, just to
name a few examples of the suffer-
ing that didnt happen because of
vaccines and the immune system.
I am a cynic, but still awestruck
at the value of immunization.
Rick Holm, M.D., Medical Editor
A Cynic looks at immunization
I was reminded recently that
the only thing growing in my fam-
ily tree are fruits and nuts. Per-
sonally, I am not sure if I am a
fruit or a nut. Just do not ask my
wife.
I had been away for so long I
had forgotten many things about
my family. My recent visit served
as a refresher course reminding
me why I had moved away in the
first place. Memory sometimes
pays little tricks causing us to re-
member the "good old days" and
forgetting that sprinkled in among
the good are ample portions of
what I call good-challenged mo-
ments and characters.
I cannot speak about anybody
else's family; my family seems to
run the gamut between good and
bad. I certainly have some wonder-
ful relatives but then, I also have
those who are on the other side of
that description. Overall, they
serve to make my family what it is
today.
I enjoyed visiting with some of
my relatives I had not seen for
years. In fact, I could not remem-
ber the last time I had seen some
of them. For the most part, it was
a wonderful time at family re-
union.
I had really forgotten about
good old Aunt Bessie. She has al-
ways been one of my favorite
aunts. Nobody knows how old she
really is, and she ain't telling. Con-
ferring with some of my older rel-
atives none could remember a time
when good old Aunt Bessie was not
around. Some of us have guessed
her age and we figure she is prob-
ably our oldest living relative.
One of the oddities about good
old Aunt Bessie has to do with her
physical appearance. As far as
anybody could remember, she was
always consumed with her looks.
Not just her clothing but her face
as well. The one thing that was
anathema to her was a wrinkle.
She has what we all said behind
her back, a wrinkle-phobia. If I
had the money she spent on wrin-
kle creams I could retire and live a
life of luxury.
I do remember a time (and I had
forgotten it until now and I just
hoped she did) when I was not
Aunt Bessie's favorite nephew. It
was years ago and I had not seen
her for a while and when I did see
her, I said, half jokingly, "Is that a
new wrinkle, Aunt Bessie?"
Visiting my family is a relative experience
You would have thought I had
shot her only child. She shrieked
and then went to the bathroom to
examine her face. She was so irate
with me that she did not speak to
me for over a year. Of course, look-
ing back, there was no downside to
that. I was tempted to remind her
of that incident, but I remembered
the old hymn, "Yield not to temp-
tation, for yielding is sin."
Then there was Uncle Harold. I
had not seen him for I cannot re-
member how long. When I saw
him, I noticed he had not changed.
I think he was wearing the same
suspenders he wore the last time I
saw him. His suspenders were a
fashion statement, according to
him, but nobody knew exactly
what they were saying.
The great thing about Uncle
Howard was his stories. He had a
repertoire of stories that he re-
peated ad nauseam. Behind his
back we often said, "Uncle Howard
will tell no stories he hasn't told a
thousand times before." Probably
the most amusing thing about his
stories was the fact that he often
confused the punchline of one-
story with the punchline of an-
other story. None of his punchlines
ever went with the story. That
made them even funnier. We
laughed, he thought we were
laughing at his story, we were re-
ally laughing at him.
Just before I was ready to leave,
who should come in but dear old
Aunt Sylvia. As soon as I saw her,
I smiled. Not only was I glad to see
her, but I remembered her. If any-
body was the cats meow, it was
Aunt Sylvia.
She loved to go out to eat, par-
ticularly with a group. I thought of
the last time we all went out to eat
together and Aunt Sylvia was with
us. One of her peculiarities was
along the line of tipping the wait-
ress. She was the self-appointed
guru of making sure the waitress
got a good tip. When everybody fin-
ished eating and the bill had come,
Aunt Sylvia would take charge.
She would collect money from
each person for the tip. If you did
not give enough, she made you dig
into your pocket again until you
came up with an amount she was
happy with to give to the waitress.
With appropriate pomp and cir-
cumstance, she would call the
waitress over to our table and
present her with the tip of the
evening.
As I was flying home, a thought
tugged at my mind; if the world is
made up of such people like my rel-
atives, what chance does the world
really have?
The world, as God has designed
it, is made up of all kinds of people
that He loves with an everlasting
love. "For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have ever-
lasting life" (John 3:16 KJV).
Thinking of my family on the
plane coming home I thought, why
am I the only sane person in my
family? Then another thought
emerged. Or, am I?

Benefits of Aerobic Activity
I know some individuals that
wish exercising could be as easy as
turning pages of a magazine or
would rather run their television
remote control then actually run.
Some people might feel like they
are too tired to exercise or that
they dont have enough time in
their day. Whatever their reason
or justification, they have excluded
exercise from their lifestyle. To
sum it up, of the different ways to
improve your physical health, ex-
ercise is one of the safest and eas-
iest methods.
Everyone has a different percep-
tion of what it means to exercise
and the level they prefer or are ca-
pable of carrying out. Some indi-
viduals may choose planned and
structured exercise to maintain or
improve fitness. Others may rely
on moving their body through the
day to use energy; this is physical
activity. This could include wash-
ing dishes, gardening or taking the
dog for a walk. Energy your body
takes in as calories is hopefully
balanced with energy your body
uses while moving during the day.
Adults should have at least 2
hours and 30 minutes each week of
aerobic physical activity at a mod-
erate level or 1 hour and 15 min-
utes each week at a vigorous level.
It is best to spread aerobic activity
out over at least 3 days a week.
Each activity should be done for at
least 10 minutes at a time.
Aerobic activities speed your
heart rate and breathing as they
help improve heart and lung fit-
ness. They can also help maintain
or lose weight, as long as you con-
sume calories equal to or less than
you burn off. Examples of moder-
ate aerobic exercise include: bik-
ing, tennis (doubles), walking
briskly, canoeing, push mowing,
raking and line dancing. You will
know if you are participating in
vigorous activities if you can only
say a few words without stopping
to catch your breath. A few exam-
ples of vigorous activities include
jogging, jumping rope, aerobic
dance, and sports with a lot of run-
ning, such as basketball.
You might feel wiped out di-
rectly after an aerobic workout,
but aerobic exercise can increase
your overall stamina and ability to
fight fatigue. This is due to your
heart and lungs improving to work
more effectively and efficiently
through the aerobic workouts.
Here are some ideas to get you
started: Pick activities that you
like and start by doing what you
can. If you havent been active in a
while, start slowly and build up
over a period of time. Be sure to
utilize the right sports and safety
equipment. Choose activities that
are appropriate for your fitness
level and pick a safe place to do
your activity. Keep track of your
aerobic exercise. Use a journal, a
log, mark your activity on a calen-
dar or use SuperTracker a phys-
ical activity tracker found at
https://www.choosemyplate.gov/Su
perTracker/default.aspx. Being ac-
tive throughout your lifetime can
help you live a healthier, longer
and happier life.

Irene Fortune___________________
Irene Fortune, age 94 of Philip,
died Tuesday, August 7, 2012, at
the Philip Nursing Home.
Irene Clements was born April
20, 1918, in Haakon County, S.D.,
the daughter of Ernest and El-
freida (Meyers) Clements. She
grew up and attended rural schools
in the area. During her high school
years, she lived with Mrs. Senechal
in Philip. She learned many things
from her, including cooking and
cleaning.
Irene was united in marriage to
Howard Bill Fortune on Septem-
ber 23, 1940, at the Sacred Heart
Catholic Church in Philip. They
ranched in the Quinn area all their
married life. They moved into
Philip from 1970 to 1979, where
they resided while some of their
daughters were attending Philip
High School.
After 1979, they returned to
their ranch near Quinn, where
they continued to reside. Her hus-
band preceded her in death on Sep-
tember 4, 2000. She later moved
into Philip, where she has since
resided.
First and foremost, Irene was a
prayer warrior. She told Kay that
she didnt know where she got her
faith except for seeing how impor-
tant going to Mass was for her dad
as he shoveled snow so they could
get there.
Irene was a true German, every-
thing was clean, neat and tidy, win-
dows clean, everything ironed, and
the garden and yard had not a
weed.
She loved feeding friends and
family, and playing cards. She
could whip up a meal in 30 min-
utes. She baked cakes, cookies, and
pies. She was always expecting
company.
Survivors include five daugh-
ters, Kay Williams of Philip, Judy
Harrington and her husband, Dan,
of Ridgefield, Wash., Billie Hett
and her husband, Donn, of Buffalo,
Pam Dale and her husband, C.K.,
of Philip, and Mary Lou Guptill
and her husband, Pat, of Quinn; 25
grandchildren; 40 great-grandchil-
dren; two great-great-
grandchildren; one sister, Helen
Louison of Rapid City; and a host
of other relatives and friends.
Irene was preceded in death by
her husband, Howard Bill For-
tune, on September 4, 2000; a
daughter, Janet Waara; a son, Scott
Fortune; her parents; four broth-
ers, Carl, Charles, John and Ray-
mond Clements; a sister, Catherine
Hawley; and a son-in-law, Dick
Williams.
Mass of Christian burial was cel-
ebrated Saturday, August 11, at the
Sacred Heart Catholic Church in
Philip with Father Kevin Achbach
as celebrant.
Music was provided by Mari-
anne Frein, pianist, and Shelby
Schofield, vocalist.
Altar servers were Sammy
Schofield and Tristen Rush. Lector
was Rita OConnell. Eucharistic
ministers were Lloyd Frein and
Debby Prouty.
Pallbearers were grandsons
Paul, Mark and Ross Williams,
Jason and Tyler Hett, Michael
Rotzien, William and Heath Morri-
son, and Tate, Troy and Paul Gup-
till.
Interment was at the Masonic
Cemetery in Philip.

I dont remember much about
first grade. It waserquite a
while ago. I do remember that it
was held in a one-room school
about five miles from home, and
there were five other students.
One of those schoolmates was my
sister, and the other four were all
siblings from another local fam-
ilythree girls and one boy, Char-
lie, who was in first grade with me.
As I recall, the bathrooms were
outdoor biffys with one being for
girls and the other for boys. There
were blackboards, of course, and a
picture of George Washington
you know the one that has an odd
blank part that the artist never
quite finished. About the only
other thing inside besides desks
was an old foot-pump type organ.
It was a wheezy thing that we
played on or with from time to
time.
Despite the school being named
Harmony, there was little musi-
cal talent amongst the students.
Singing together was not a joy so
we didnt do it much. We did, how-
ever, get along okay and were
Harmonious in that way. During
recess, there was a lot of rope
jumping. This was the kind where
two people swing the rope and one
or two more do the jumping. I
learned how to do it somewhat, but
I dont think I was ever very good
at it. Everyone had a nickname for
the jumping events, and mine was
Popcorn Popper.
I also assume that Charlie and
I sometimes got on the teachers
nerves since she frequently told us
to go outside and play when we
were done with our classes or
work. We may have been causing
trouble, I suppose, as unlikely as
that might seem. Anyway, Charlie
and I were glad to run around out-
side or else in the basement when
it was cold. There was coal in one
part of the basement since the
place was heated with it. As you
can imagine, the school was some-
what chilly when we first arrived
in the morning in the winter, but it
warmed up nicely after awhile.
Our teacher was my cousin,
Marilyn, who was fairly young and
quiet, but I think she was a good
enough teacher. She was bright
and kind as well and lived with us
during that year. She drove my sis-
ter, Pat, and me to school each day.
When the roads were muddy, we
took the jeep which was an old rat-
tletrap if I ever saw one. If the
road was apt to be particularly bad
at the creek with all its gumbo,
Dad and Marilyn decided we
should go down the ridge instead
of the road. Then, when the ridge
came to an end, there was a very
steep hill we dived over to the
creek. I didnt like that hill. It
scared me a bit although Marilyn
was an excellent driver, and we
never had any trouble. Going up
out of the creek on the east side
was no big deal since it was a more
gradual incline.
Oh, yes. One of Marilyns jobs at
home was to light the kerosene
lamps every night. She also re-
filled them with fuel and trimmed
the wicks. Does that give you some
idea of how long ago all this was?
Yes. It was before electricity ar-
rived in rural areas although it
was just a few years prior to that,
and we originally had 32-volt
power from a generator for a cou-
ple of years before the high lines
were strung our way. In first
grade, though, we were still on
kerosene lamps with a few bright
Aladdin ones and some dimmer
regular wick ones. I even had a
small wick one of my own and still
do.
Well, after that first year at
Harmony, the neighbor kids moved
away leaving just Pat and me. For
the next three years, then, the
school moved to the upstairs of our
house. Mom was our teacher for
two of those three years, and the
neighbor lady, Myrt, taught us the
middle year. Another boy from six
miles away came to join us for
awhile and lived with us when the
roads were bad. After that, Pat
was ready for high school so we
bought a house in town to live in
when school was in session al-
though we returned to the ranch
most weekends and during the
summer.
Some now think country schools
are outdated and town school is
better. I doubt it. A good education
depends a lot more on teachers
than facilities. Home-schooled kids
even seem to have a slight advan-
tage over those taught in class-
rooms which I suspect might be
the result of a lot of personal atten-
tion.
Well, as I said, I dont remember
a lot about first grade at Harmony
schoolhouse, but what memories I
do have are pleasant enough.
What I learned there gave me a
good enough start to go on for fif-
teen more years of schooling and
do okay. I have no complaints.

Lookin Around
by Syd Iwan
Bob Fortune attended the fu-
neral of his aunt, Irene Fortune, on
Saturday at Philip. She was 94 and
had been confined to a wheelchair
for a few years at the Philip Nurs-
ing Home. Irene was married to the
brother of Bobs dad, and lived on a
ranch just a couple of miles from
where Bob did near Quinn when he
was growing up. Chuck Fortune
and Francie Davis and their fami-
lies also attended. Bob said they
got to see a lot of relatives that they
dont get to see very often.
Jim, Georgann and Jami Addi-
son attended the wedding of Geor-
ganns niece, Kamri Iverson, in
Philip on Saturday. The wedding
was held in the yard of Georganns
mom, Audrey Carley, although the
reception was held at Draper.
Kamri married Chauncy Labrier,
and both are from the Murdo area.
Georganns son and daughter, Matt
and Marissa, were also able to at-
tend and came with their spouses
and children. Matt and Marissa
and families mostly stayed in
Murdo area and relatived up, but
they came out several times to Jim
and Georganns. On Sunday, Jim
was planning to take them fishing.
Scot and Jodie OBryan gained
another grandson this week when
Nathaniel Conn was born to their
son, Taylor, and his wife, Vicki, of
Yankton. Nathaniel joins an older
brother, Thomas, who was a born
close to Christmas of the year be-
fore last. Taylor is an engineer
there in Yankton but gets flown
around the country doing his work.
Scot says he hopes to get ac-
quainted with the new grandson
this week if he can sneak in a trip
to Yankton before Wednesday when
he has to leave for Wyoming where
he is scheduled to judge some cattle
at the state fair there. The trip to
Yankton is also complicated by
Jodies work schedule at 1880
Town. Three of Scott and Jodies
kids, Scotty, Wacey and Grady, con-
tinue to live in Texas so they dont
get home very often. Scot said he
has been fortunate in finding some
hay to buy lately in the eastern
part of the state where various
friends or business associates have
helped him out. He was able to get
some hay cheaper there than lo-
cally in this dry year that didnt
produce a lot of hay.
John Addison said the surgery to
remove a lump on his son, Koyes
back went well a couple of weeks
ago. It was done in Sioux Falls,
started early, and they were
headed back home shortly after
noon. Koye seems to be running
around doing fine. He wasnt both-
ered a lot although he needed some
Tylenol a few times. This weekend,
John did some rodeoing. He was in
one at Fergus Falls, MN, where he
didnt have much luck. In Onida,
though, he came in second. Travel-
ing companions included Jace Nel-
son and Wade Yost who ride saddle
bronc while John does bareback.
Larry, Jo and Jenny Johnston
spent the weekend in Rapid City.
They helped daughter, Cora Jo, cel-
ebrate her birthday, but stayed
with their son, John, and wife,
Amanda. A good bit of time was
spent boating at Angostura near
Hot Springs since both Cora and
John have boats and like to use
them. There was both skiing and
tubing, and the weather was coop-
erative with it being neither too hot
or too coldjust pleasant. John
lives at Piedmont, and Cora is a
nurse at the hospital in Rapid City.
Jo said they had quite a good time.
At home, Mary Johnston came over
and watered the flowers and toma-
toes and kept an eye on things.
Jenny will start school on Wednes-
day since she will be attending
school at Philip this year and it
starts earlier than some others.
Eric and Pam Osborn havent
had much luck with gardening this
year due to grasshoppers and their
work schedules. Eric is working at
Moses Building in Philip and Pam
at the diner over at 1880 Town.
They have kept the lawn green, but
the garden not so much. They do
have a few tomatoes but not much
else. On Saturday, Wib Osborn
came for supper, and daughter, Syd
Beth, stayed overnight one time
last week. She is doing some lawn
mowing in Kadoka this summer.
Her sister, Mackenzie, is a life
guard at the swimming pool in
Kadoka. Pam said the dog brought
them a nice present this week in
the form of a dead raccoon. The cat,
not to be outdone, brought them a
dead mouse.
Bunny Green was visited on Sat-
urday by her daughter, Darlene
Wiedemer, of Murdo. The gals went
over to Midland where Bunny got a
permanent. They then came home
for dinner and visited a while until
Darlene went home later in the
day. On Sunday, Bunny made it to
church. Bunny said theyve had re-
ports of quite a few rattlesnakes in
Kadoka so shes been on guard for
them in Belvidere, although none
have shown up so far.
Aaron Mansfield said his wife
and son, Michelle and Tyrel, are
starting to gear up for school which
will start fairly soon. Michelle is
getting some things ready for her
teaching duties, and Tyrel will be
starting second grade. Aaron said
he is just catching up on things
around the ranch that were neg-
lected somewhat during busier
times.
Geoffrey DeVries said he is
somewhat looking forward to
school starting again soon. He and
his mom, Nicci, and brother,
Greyson, were in Idaho visiting
Niccis folks for quite a while but
have been back home a couple of
weeks now.
Brett and Nikki Bonenberger
and kids attended the carnival held
at the Kadoka Nursing Home on
Sunday and helped put it on. There
was a cakewalk and various enter-
taining events including people
getting dunked in a tank. Kids
MaKaylan and McCoy thought it
was a fine event. They were
watched part of the time by Pam
and Delores Bonenberger when
their folks were busy helping with
the carnival. Last week, Nikkis
mom, Diane McDaniel, of Philip
came, and Nikki and she butchered
some chickens and put up some
pickles. On Sunday, Nikki was try-
ing to write up a schedule for the
nursing home of who will work
when. This was somewhat tricky
since various summer helpers are
getting ready to leave which com-
plicates things and leaves a short-
age of help here and there.
Taya Iversen spent Friday with
her grandparents, Rick and Ronda
Dennis. After spending the night,
Ronda and Taya went to Rapid City
with Lori and Carter on Saturday
to do some school shopping.
Syd, Corinne and Chance Iwan
were visited this week by Syds sis-
ter and her husband, Pat and Gary
Jones, of Huron. They came by
plane. Their son, Lee, and his wife
and son, Brenda and Aiden, of San
Antonio, TX, came by land with the
other two of Pat and Garys grand-
kids who belong to Jason and his
wife, Tasha. All were headed to the
Black Hills where Garys sister and
her husband have a house close to
Strawberry Hill near Deadwood.
Jason and Tasha of Pierre were al-
ready in the Black Hills since
theyd ridden their motorcycles to
Sturgis earlier in the week.
for the school term.
Patrick Allard of Rapid City vis-
ited with his grandma, Maxine Al-

turned home on Thursday. Tuesday
evening, Edna and Rebekkah Kary
visited Maxine Allard.

soon.
Cason Brown and sons, Cayden
and Brady, of Rapid City came Fri-

ing to return to classes at SDSU in
Brookings.
Saturday luncheon guests of
Gale and JoAnn Letellier, Gary and
Jerry, were Hiram Neiffer of Hill
City, Arlene Anderson of Florida

Maxine Allard.
Carol and Ed Ferguson and
most of their family attended the

celebration. Other postmasters
honored were: Kathy Strain, White
River; Rose Mooney, St. Francis;

The Kadoka Nursing Home held
their annual resident/employee
BBQ on Sunday, August 12. The
meal was in honor of the 30 resi-
dents, staff and their families. In
the afternoon a carnival fund
raiser was held. There was a
tremendous turnout of community
support. It was a beautiful day and
a great time for everyone. JoAnn
Letellier helped serve the picnic
dinner.
Sunday, fourteen members of
the St. John Lutheran Church con-
gregation enjoyed the evening meal
at the new home of Gene and Mar-
jorie Popkes in the Lakeview com-
munity southwest of Mission. The
group was treated to tours of the
home and beautiful yard as well. It
was a real fun evening for every-
one.
Orlana Schmidt recently re-
turned from a ten-week stay in Ver-
million, where she worked and
studied in the chemistry depart-
ment of the university.
Lori Schmidt and family, and

crisper, the ground is dry, fire dan-

Beckwith home. Paul and Lu-
Annes home is always the head-
quarters for meals, switching
shoppers, etc. While different ones
took their turn at shopping, the
others enjoyed swimming. Hard to
believe school is about to start, but
it was a real fun day.

Yankton. She got some appoint-
ments and errands done while

they went on to Sturgis to the rally.
One day this week, the Gale
Letelliers, Bernard Herbers and
Blake Hicks families were supper
guests at the Dave Letellier home
in Norris. They were just celebrat-
ing another good summer at the
ranch in South Dakota. They will
soon be returning to Hulett, WY,
pect of the 811 program. Calling
811 is critical to the protection of
the complex network of under-
ground utilities, but it is also vital
to remember that lives can be
saved when 811 is called before dig-
ging, he said. Every digging proj-
ectwhether big or
smallrequires a call to 811.
Call, wait and dig. Its that sim-
ple, said Kurt Pfeifle, South
Dakota One Call Board chairman.
An excavator makes the free call to
811, gives the One Call representa-
tive the location details of their
project and waits for the utility op-
erators to be notified to mark any
underground utilities at a project
site, he said. Its fast, easy and
can give people peace of mind when
digging.
Even after utilities have been
marked by utility operators, exca-
vators are encouraged to always
dig with care.
Visit www.SDOneCall.com for
more information about 811 and
the call-before-you-dig process.
Remember the importance of
calling 811 before beginning any
digging project, suggests the South
Dakota Public Utilities Commis-
sion and the South Dakota One
Call Board.
When planning outdoor projects,
residents should always consider
the possibility that underground
utilities could be directly below
them. When an excavator calls 811
before they begin their project, they
significantly reduce the risk of se-
rious injury to themself and those
around them as well as disruption
of utility service. Excavators that
hit an underground utility can be
held financially responsible for any
damages caused.
Projects as modest as planting a
shrub or installing a mailbox all re-
quire calls to 811 at least 48 hours
prior to digging. The possibility of
striking a line still exists even
when digging a short depth.
South Dakota Public Utilities
Commission Chairman Chris Nel-
son further stressed the safety as-

walk were especially popular. We
so appreciate the many donations
for the cake walk. There were too
many wonderful cake concoctions
to count. This writer has four chil-
dren who brought home enough
cake to feed an army for a month!
The dunk tank was popular be-
cause our beloved staff, Heidi,

Paula! It was a good day of food,
fun and fellowship.

around with a cane.
Sunday was a very busy day on
Interstate 90 as the Sturgis Rally
ended and the sounds of motorcy-
cles going by Kadoka was quite
constant. Reports are that the rally

Carson Good of Long Valley, son
of Allen and Beth Good, qualified
and competed at the 2012 National
Little Britches Finals Rodeo
(NLBFR), which was held in
Pueblo, CO, on July 23-28.
Good, 14 years old, competed for
his last year in the Junior Boys Di-
vision (ages 8-13) in the breakaway
roping, goat tying, team roping and
dally ribbon roping.
For the year, Good took 6th
place in the first go round and 2nd

He finished 10th in the breakaway
roping world standings for the
2011-2012 year, and 14th in the
breakaway roping average at the
NLBRA.
It was a good time again, said
Good. I felt a little disappointed in
some of my events, but since this
was my last year in the junior boys
division, I thought that it was just
another good year.
Goods 2012-2013 NLBRA rodeo
season will start in Edgemont on
August 18-19, where he will com-
pete in the senior boys division in
tie down roping and team roping,

ward to another year of rodeo.

The second-longest state fish
record in South Dakota, a blue cat-
fish caught by Edward Elliot in
1959, is a thing of the past.
On July 21, 2012, Steve Lem-
mon from Elk Point grabbed his
own place in the record books by
landing a 99-pound, 4-ounce blue
catfish from the Big Sioux River,
edging out the previous record by 2
pounds, 4 ounces.
With the aid of only a rod, reel
and a creek chub for bait, Lemmon
managed to wrangle in the trophy
fish from his fishing hole in Union
County.
His fish stacks up well with
those from nearby states. The Ne-
braska state record blue catfish
weighed in at 100 pounds, 8 ounces
while neighboring Iowa currently
boasts a state record blue catfish of
101 pounds. Kansas, a state known
for having some large catfish, has
a slightly smaller state-record blue
cat weighing it at 94 pounds even.

Dakota can be viewed at

The South Dakota Game Fish
and Parks Commission has
changed the restrictions on the use
of body-grip traps on public lands
and road rights-of-way.
No one may set or operate a
body-grip trap with a jaw spread
greater than 6 inches in conjunc-
tion with any bait, lure or scent un-
less the trap is recessed in a
plastic, wood or metal cubby with a
minimum of 7 inches from the front
end of the cubby to trigger the trap,
or the trap is set below the waters
edge in a stream, river or other
body of water.
The change was made because of
concerns about dogs getting caught
in the traps, and it applies only to
public lands and road rights-of-
way.
The GFP Commission also clari-
fied the legal size of muskrat
colony traps. A previous rule did
not address square traps. The size
of colony traps used for muskrats
may not exceed 36 inches in overall
length. If using a round colony
trap, the diameter cannot exceed
12 inches. If using a box colony
trap, the height may not exceed 12
inches, and the width may not ex-
ceed 12 inches.
GFP amends trapping regulations

and Parks Commission has final-
ized two popular waterfowl hunt-

Lewis and Clark: Investigators
The legend was that any human
who approached would be killed.
That legend was apparently
enough to make Capts. Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark want to
find out if it was true.
The captains, accompanied by a
contingent of nearly four dozen
men, had set off on May 14, 1804,
from Camp Dubois near St. Louis,
Mo., on their journey to the Pacific
coast and back.
As they traveled up the Missouri
River, the captains heard about a
cone-shaped hill about eight miles
north of what is now Vermillion.
Called Paha Wakan by the
Lakota, the American Indian tribes
in the area believed the hill to be
the home of sprits or devils. The
devils were reported to be 18-
inches high, human in form, but
with large heads and armed with
sharp arrows that could kill all per-
sons who attempted to approach
the hill. The tribes in the area
would not go near the place.
Accompanied by 10 or 11 men
and Lewis Newfoundland dog, Sea-
man, Lewis and Clark set out on
Aug. 25, 1804, to hike to the top of
the hill. They lived to explore an-
other day, as they found no devils.
What they did find was what Clark
described in his journals as a most
beautiful landscape, with numer-
As the expedition journeyed fur-
ther up the Missouri River, an
Arikara legend captured Clarks
imagination. The legend was that a
man and a woman were in love, but
the girls parents would not let
them marry. The pair and their dog
wandered off to mourn.
All turned to stone gradually, be-
ginning at their feet. They fed on
grapes, and the woman has a
bunch of grapes yet in her hand,
Clark wrote in his journal on Oct.
13, 1804.
The Arikara pay great reverence
to the stones, Clark wrote. He paid
reverence to them by naming a
creek Stone Idol Creek in their
honor.
The stones can be found on the
northeast corner of West Pollock
Resort near Pollock.

percent of customary fees up to
$2,000 per accident.
Your child will receive applica-
tion forms from the Kadoka Area

them over carefully and mail
them back to the company. If
your child does not bring the ap-
plications home, please contact

STUDENT
ACCIDENT
INSURANCE
Through: Student
Assurance Services, Inc.

Since children are particu-
larly susceptible to injuries, we
encourage you to review your
present health and accident in-
surance program to determine
if your coverage is adequate. If
you do not feel your insurance is
adequate because of a de-
ductible or co-insurance clause,
or if you do not have insurance,
we encourage you to review the
student insurance program.
This plan will provide benefits
for medical expenses incurred
because of an accident. An ex-
planation of the cost and bene-
fits is explained on the
premium envelope. Please re-
turn envelope and check to
school if coverage is needed.

ELEMENTARY TRANSPORTATION MILEAGE:

Transportation mileage is paid to parents who transport their ele-
mentary children to a bus stop or to school if the miles traveled are in
excess of five (5) miles. The mileage rate for this transportation is state
rate -- currently .37 per mile. Transportation is paid to the school or
bus stop closest to the residence. If the parent chooses not to use the
bus or to send their child to another school within the district, mileage
is paid only to the closest bus stop or closest school.
If your residence within the district changes during the school year,
contact the school to determine the bus stop closest to you.
At the beginning of the school year, a calendar is sent to each parent
who will be claiming transportation mileage. Parents are asked to use
this calendar to keep track of the days driven. At the end of the year a
transportation mileage claim voucher will be sent to the parents for
the purpose of submitting the mileage claim. The mileage voucher is
to be completed and the school asks that you also attach the calendar
to this voucher. If there are any questions regarding transportation
mileage, please call the school business office at 837-2175.
Requests for assignment to an alternate attendance center within
the district: A parent or guardian must submit the request, in writing,
to the elementary principal to be approved by the school board. Mileage
will be paid according to the above policy.

Ear Molds in Corn
With the hot, dry weather this
summer, corn ear molds are a con-
cern around the state. One
wouldnt expect hot, dry weather
would be conducive for mold
growth, but high humidity and
dew during the night, accompa-
nied by hot, dry conditions during
the day can be ideal for ear molds
in corn. Not all molds on corn form
mycotoxins. Aspergillus spp. and
Fusarium spp. may produce toxins
of concern, while other fungi such
as Penicillium and Diplodia are
generally more benign, especially
if grain is generally intact and un-
damaged physically.
In areas that will produce some
corn, scouting for ear molds is rec-
ommended and can be started as
early as the R5 to R6 stage. Check
100 ears of corn from several dif-
ferent places within the field. If
more than 10% of the plants have
ear mold, it may be beneficial to
harvest the field early. If you think
your crop has been damaged by
aflatoxin, notify your insurer. Afla-
toxin contamination should be cov-
ered as long as representative
samples of grain were taken before
the grain was moved into commer-
cial or on-farm storage. Crop in-
surance generally ends at harvest,
so it is important that your insurer
samples the crop prior to storage.

Nitrate Update
We were hoping by now to have
nitrate test result summaries from
some of the area laboratories to
share, but all we have are general
indications. As one would expect,
there are samples containing low
levels of Nitrates and are safe to
feed, samples too high to feed to
any class of animals, even mixed
with safe feeds, and many be-
tween. When in doubt, test.
An article was recently posted
on http://igrow.org, Forage Ni-
trate Data from 2002 and 2006
Droughts at:
http://igrow.org/agronomy/drought
/forage-nitrate-data-from-2002-
and-2006-droughts/ that provides
a summary of the testing results
from those years. Ron Gelderman,
SDSU Extension Soils Specialist,
drew several key points from the
summary, 1. All crops may be af-
fected but not to the same degree,
2. Weed forage can be nasty, 3.
Warm season, annual grass crops
are more susceptible, and 4. Ensil-
ing does lower problems.
An important update on wheat
straw mentioned in last weeks col-
umn that is suspected to have
come from was an area that lodged
and perhaps did not mature. The
straw was re-tested, and found to
contain some nitrates, but signifi-
cantly less than the first test. A
good comment was; the test is only
as good as the sample taken.
Having heard about the original
nitrate test (>2000 ppm), I ran the
Quik Nitrate Test on several sam-
ples of wheat stubble. One in par-
ticular indicated potential toxicity.
A sample of the straw baled from
the field contained 500 ppm. This
is certainly safe to feed, but the ni-
trates it contains should be consid-
ered when mixing with other
forages that are potentially toxic.
