Through the years Mt. Moriah
Lodge has not only been a land-
mark, but a real part of the com-
munity. It has served as a fraternal
meeting place for Masons, Eastern
Star and Job's Daughters, a WPA
office, temporary classrooms, ball-
room, gymnastics floor, quilt show-
room and, on one occasion, a
wedding facility. The Lion's Club
met monthly and held their Bingo
nights in the lodge basement for
many years. Chances are most
Jackson Co. residents have dined
there at Election Day Luncheons,
Grazing Association banquets,
bake sales and other fine meals. In-
terestingly the third floor was even
home to a destitute masonic
brother and his family for a time
during the Great Depression.
Mt. Moriah Lodge is on the Na-
tional Register of Historic Places
for it's unique architecture and the
role it's members played in Jackson
County history. The membership
has received an historic grant for
repair and painting of the exterior,
scheduled for spring.
Two years ago in January was
the historic property's darkest hour
when extensive flood damage from
frozen pipes required the basement
be gutted. With only fire insurance
coverage, reclamation is still ongo-
ing. To date the lower level lobby
and bathrooms have been restored.
The dining room and kitchen work
in the 33 x 66 foot basement is on-
going.
If you see the light on, knock on
the side door and come on in. You'll
probably be treated to an historic
tour and maybe some homemade
cookies.

The lights are on at historic Mt.
Moriah Lodge, a Kadoka Main
Street icon. Built in 1916, the three
story Neo-Classical style building
was raised in less than a year by
the local masonic members. Many
of those masons brought their
skills 10 years before, when they
helped found Kadoka as the rail-
road came through. It was no aver-
age plasterer who finished the 20
foot, vaulted ceiling of the lodge's
main meeting room.
Records indicate that when the
funding, from the sale of bonds,
was exceeded by $2,000 a member,
who ranched locally, covered the
shortfall out of his own pocket.
Most of the lumber, including bird-
seye maple flooring and cherry
pocket doors, came from a sawmill
in Michigan owned by one of the
charter member's father. The lodge
building was actually erected be-
fore main street was leveled (see
photo on pg. 79 of old Jackson and
Washabaugh Co. history book).
On it's dedication the building
was touted as the largest edifice of
it's kind in the world, for the size of
the membership and the commu-
nity. At that time the organiza-
tion was doubling it's membership
annually. Some early members
from Bennett Co. would catch the
train in Merriman, NE, ride via
Rapid City and down to Kadoka for
monthly meetings.

A ray of light At Mt. Moriah Masonic Lodge light glows through
the window of a new/old door, reclaimed from the historic First National
Bank of Midland before demolition. The handsome door is one of several
architectural elements passing life from Midland Bank to another historic

The community of Parmelee,
South Dakota, gathered Tuesday,
April 17 to celebrate the ground
breaking of a new fire hall.
A dream that started over four
years ago, the fire hall will be home
to the Parmelee Volunteer Fire De-
partment (PVFD) located on the
Rosebud Indian Reservation.
Through continued dedication
and determination, PVFD part-
nered with over ten different agen-
cies and groups such as the Todd
County Commissioners, State of
South Dakota, Todd County Emer-
gency Management, Rosebud Sioux
Tribe-Tribal President and entities,
BIA, South Central RC&D, South
Dakota Department of Agriculture,
and the Central South Dakota En-
hancement District.
South Dakota USDA Rural De-
velopment provided funding for the
project totaling $120,000 through a
$55,000 Community Facility Direct
loan and $65,000 Community Fa-
cility grant, along with other fund-
ing including a $10,000 applicant
contribution, and $130,000 Com-
munity Development Block Grant
from the State of South Dakota for
a total project cost of $260,000.
The fire department and commu-
nity, led by local resident Susan
Kary, were able to access financial
resources and build the support
from the community for the project.
This project exemplifies Presi-
dent Obamas commitment to in-
vest in improved infrastructure
and is a prime example of how
Rural Development programs can
assist with the development of es-
sential community services, said
Rural Development State Director
Elsie M. Meeks. The leaders of
this small community determined
that they were in need of a fire sta-
tion they had already secured a
fire truck and they persevered
until they secured the funding,
even though it took them over four
years.
Parmelee is approximately 21
miles from the closest fire depart-
ment and responses to fires some-
times takes up to 45 minutes. The
need for the new fire hall was ap-
parent for quicker response times
for emergency situations and for
storage of trucks and equipment.
The new fire hall will be a 50x70
foot pre-engineered building with
three bays and portion of the facil-
ity will be made available for com-
munity functions.
The 20 person volunteer fire de-
partment serves a population of
1,188.
I wish to thank everyone who
has so willingly supported us in our
efforts, said Susan Kary, Secretary
for the Parmelee Volunteer Fire
Department. This wouldnt have
been possible without the partner-
ships. We appreciate everyone who
participated in our event. It means
so much to our volunteer fire men
and women and our small commu-
nity to see this project become a re-
ality.

The Kadoka City Council held a
special meeting on Thursday, April
19 at 5:30 p.m. Mayor Harry
Weller, Micki Word, Kieth Prang
and Dick Stolley were present at
the meeting.
A bill was presented from Com-
plete Concrete in the amount of
$40,896. Complete Concrete is in
the process of installing the fire
sprinkler system at the Kadoka
Nursing Home and the bill is for
the work that has been completed.
This amount will be paid by the
Community Development Block
Grant, which was awarded to the
Kadoka Nursing Home. The City of
Kadoka acts as the operating
agency for the transfer of the grant
funds. A motion carried to approve
the bill.
At this time, Word excused her-
self from the meeting, due to a con-
flict of interest, and Ryan Willert
was contacted via telephone for the
remainder of the meeting.
Weller, Stolley and Willert pre-
viously conducted interviews with
individuals who applied for the
swimming pool positions.
Weller stated that a current full-
time city employee has applied for
a position at the swimming pool.
Weller said that according to the
SD Municipal League, if an em-
ployee exceeds 40 hours of work,
regardless of the job position, they
must be compensated for overtime
hours.
On a recommendation of the
committee who conducted the in-
terviews, Stolley made a motion,
seconded by Willert to offer Emmy
Antonsen co-manager position at
$8.75/hour; Kayla Herren co-man-
ager position at $8.75/hour; Tess
Byrd lifeguard at $7.50/hour; Tia
Carlson lifeguard at $7.25/hour;
Emily Schlabach lifeguard at
$7.25/hour; and Aubrey Schnee
lifeguard at $7.25/hour.
During discussion Shuck ques-
tion the recommendations made by
the committee. Motion failed 3-1,
with Shuck casting a no vote.
Shuck made a motion, seconded
by Prang to offer Emmy Antonsen
co-manager position at $8.75/hour;
Kayla Herren co-Manager position
at $8.75/hour; and Tess Byrd life-
guard at $7.50/hour; with all other
lifeguard positions to be hired at a
later date. Motion failed 2-2, with
Stolley and Willert casting no
votes.
After further discussion, it was
determined to have a special meet-
ing on Saturday, April 21 at 8:00
a.m. to discuss and hire individuals
for the swimming pool positions.
At the special meeting Weller,
Prang, Shuck, Stolley and Brad
Jorgensen were present.
Shuck provided information he
had researched after the special
meeting held on April 20, 2012.
After further discussion, a mo-
tion was made and approved to
offer Emmy Antonsen co-manager
position at $8.75/hour; Kayla Her-
ren co-manager position at
$8.75/hour; Tess Byrd lifeguard at
$7.50/hour; Brianna Stone life-
guard at $7.50/hour; Emily
Schlabach lifeguard at $7.25/hour;
and Aubrey Schnee lifeguard at
$7.25/hour.
With no other business, the
meeting adjourned.

the closet, and learn something
new Lets study!

Municipal officials
meet in Kadoka
More than 31 municipal officials
representing six cities gathered at
the South Dakota Municipal
Leagues annual District 8 Meet-
ing, held in Kadoka on April 17.
Yvonne Taylor, South Dakota
Municipal League Executive Direc-
tor, spoke about the outcome of the
2012 Legislative Session, and the
effect new laws will have on South
Dakota municipalities. Taylor also
discussed the direction and future
of the Municipal League and serv-
ices offered to the municipalities.
More and more we are seeing
the need to get better information
out to the citizens and legislators.
Municipal government provides a
vast array of services, and people
need to be informed of where their
tax dollars are going. This type of
education can only benefit munici-
pal government. The taxpayers
would be very proud of their local
government if they were fully
aware of how much service a mu-
nicipality provides at a relatively
low cost, Taylor said.
Harry Weller, mayor in Kadoka,
was re-elected as District 8 Chair
and Jackie Stilwell, utility clerk in
Kadoka, was re-elected as vice
chair.

It was the trip of a lifetime. Al-
most 16 years ago ten families from
all over the U.S. were brought to-
gether in a southern Chinese city
to adopt baby girls. This summer,
nine of these same families
brought our daughters back to see
their birth country.
This time we started up north
near Beijing at a different orphan-
age, an American church-spon-
sored place for children with
special needs. They find donation
money for surgery to fix cleft lips,
heart defects, tumors and boney
malformations, and then they help
these kids get adopted.
Our nine girls, along with three
sisters and ten parents, assigned
themselves the job of playing with
those kids for two days, in order to
give back a little before we started
touring.
Then we journeyed to see the
Great Wall, Tiananmen Square,
the Forbidden City, terra cotta sol-
diers, a panda preserve, and finally
the three orphanages from where
our children originally came. We
were welcomed with the red-carpet
treatment by orphanage directors
and high-level government offi-
cials, as no large group such as
ours had as yet returned in this
way.
There are several health related
issues in China, about which we
can learn, starting with water and
air pollution. There a clean envi-
ronment appears a less important
priority. Although their economy
appears to be booming with big
public works construction, the
streets were filled with many more
cars, motor scooters, and fewer
bikes than 16 years ago. Cigarette
smoke hung everywhere, including
restaurants, as many more obvi-
ously smoke in China than in the
U.S. Water was not as clean as we
are used to, and we used bottled
water even to brush teeth. I return
to the American soil appreciating
more than ever our clean air, skies,
and water.
But China has a wonderful tra-
dition worth bringing here. In
every square and public gathering
place, each morning and evening,
even in the steamy heat, we saw
people happily exercising, dancing,
stretching, and moving mostly to
music. As one young guide told me,
Especially the elderly realize that
the key to staying alive is being ac-
tive. We in the US would benefit
by following that example.
Finally I would emphasize, and I
know I speak for our nine families
with China daughters, that the
warm sharing nature and the wel-
coming culture of the people of
China made it the trip of a lifetime.

Altering Recipes for Health
Have you ever found a recipe
that looks so tasty you can hardly
wait to prepare itbut when you
study it closer, you realize it may
not be good for your health? Do you
have a collection of delicious fam-
ily recipes that have been handed
down through the years? Have you
ever considered making small
changes to those recipes that
would decrease problem ingredi-
ents with healthier ingredient sub-
stitutes?
Use the Step Approach to alter
your favorite recipes for good
health. The First Step is to look for
the problem ingredients that
make a recipe high in fat, choles-
terol and sodium. This will get you
on track with the 2010 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, which
describe a healthy diet as one that:
1. Emphasizes fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, and fat-free or low-
fat milk and milk products; 2. In-
cludes lean meats, poultry, fish,
beans, eggs, and nuts; and 3. Is
low in saturated fats, trans fats,
cholesterol, salt, sodium, and
added sugars.
The Second Step is to find your
ingredient substitutes. Do this by
reducing the amount or substitute
an ingredient that is healthier for
you. You can reduce the fat in bak-
ing by one-third to one-half in
recipes. Another option is to use
applesauce; if the recipe calls for 1
cup of butter--use 1 cup of apple-
sauce in place of the butter. Try
using plain, non-fat yogurt in place
of sour cream.
Reduce your sodium to 2300 mg
a day or less. Try replacing salt
with herbs and spices to flavor
foods. Consider using fruit juice or
wine for cooking liquid instead of
broth or bouillon. Choose no-salt
added products.
Reduce sugar by one-quarter to
one-third in baked goods and
desserts (this saves 200 to 300
calories.) Increase flavorings such
as cinnamon or vanilla to enhance
the sweetness.
The Third Step is to change your
method of preparation. As an ex-
ample, try baking an item instead
of frying it. Leave skins on fruits
and vegetables when possible to
increase fiber.
Altering recipes for good health
doesnt have to be a difficult chal-
lenge. Healthy, tasty cooking can
include decreasing fat, sugar and
salt in most recipes, while increas-
ing the fiber, vitamins and miner-
als. To learn 10 tips to a great plate

Read John 4:7-30
Take an honest look at your life. Do you feel whole
and complete, or is there the sense that something's
missing? If you're aware of an emptiness, what are you
using to try and fill that void? Is it relationships with
family and friends? Or have you opted for achievements, hoping they will bring a sense of significance?
Maybe you use a substance or activity of some kind to deaden the need or to bring temporary comfort.
Jesus met a woman with just such an empty place in her soul. She was longing for love but had been
repeatedly rejected. In those days, a man could divorce his wife simply because she displeased him in
some way. The Samaritan woman had gone through this rejection five times and was now seeking to fill
up her soul with a man who wasn't her husband.
She probably tried to cover up her emptiness so those around her wouldn't see her hurt, but when
Jesus met her at the well and told her all that she had done, her days of hiding were over. She had finally
found the only One who could bring wholeness to her life. Before you can fill the emptiness in your soul,
you, too, must let Christ's piercing gaze penetrate into the depths of your heart and reveal the root cause
of your incompleteness.
We were created for God. All other pursuits are inadequate substitutes and will never bring the lasting
satisfaction we are seeking. Life has a way of beating us down, leaving us empty and disillusioned. But
when we allow Christ unrestricted access to our hearts, He fills us up with His unfailing love.

Field Specialists and/or State Spe-
cialists will be on hand at each lo-
cation, representing the
specialties; Plant Pathology,
Weeds, Entomology, Soil Fertility
and Cropping Systems.
Each specialist will give a brief
presentation in their area of spe-
cialty, followed by discussion, ques-
tion and answer and looking at
issues in the fields. Those attend-
ing are welcome and encouraged to
bring wheat samples. CCA credits
will be applied for.
More information on field loca-
tions and registration will be com-
ing soon. Visit http://igrow.org/ and

Wetwood Disease of
Cottonwood and Elm Trees
Wetwood disease is a common
ailment of cottonwood and elms.
The disease manifests itself inter-
nally with an elevated pH and
mineral content, more water and
gas under pressure.
Wetwood is a bacterial disease.
The internal liquid spreads into
the outer sapwood and from there
moves out of the tree through
cracks in branch crotches or old
pruning wounds. The bark bleach-
ing is due to the high pH of this liq-
uid.
The disease is sometimes asso-
ciated with symptoms of leaf
scorch and yellows and sometimes
even branch dieback. However,
often the only symptom expressed
by the disease is the streaking on
the bark and otherwise the tree
grows just fine. Regardless there
are no effective treatments for the
disease and drilling holes in the
tree to relieve pressure may cause
more problems than it cures.

and shrub diseases, insect pests
and other ailments, click the Pest
Alert Archives on the Educa-
tional Information page on the SD
Dept of Ag, Conservation &
Forestry website:

tional-information/default.aspx.
Black Knot Disease
of Cherry and Plum
Black knot, also known as dead
mans finger, is a very common
fungal disease of cherry and
plums. These black, coal-like galls,
sometimes covered with a white
power, can often be found lining
the branches and trunks of suscep-
tible trees.
A common recommendation is
to prune out these galls during the
winter months, but this has very
limited value. First, these galls are
the second years infection. The
first year infection is only indi-
cated by a slight greenish swelling
of the tissue. If these shoots are
not also removed they will grow to
form the blacked masses the fol-
lowing year, so it is hard to get
ahead of the disease by pruning.
The other problem is only cer-
tain trees are very susceptible to
black knot and once they get the
disease you can probably expect
the tree to become infected again
regardless of your pruning efforts.
Cutting the tree down is probably
the best approach. When planting
cherry (including chokecherry) and
plum, look for varieties resistant to
the disease.

Ethel Woodruff __________________
Ethel Woodruff, age 99, of
Huron, died Friday, April 20, 2012,
at the SunQuest Health Care Cen-
ter.
Ethel Alberta Nelson was born
August 26, 1912, to Albert S. and
Josephine (Duba) Nelson at their
country home on South Creek,
north of Kadoka, South Dakota.
She attended grade school at South
Creek School, high school at
Kadoka High School for two years
and then two more years at Cham-
berlin High School, where she
graduated in 1930. Ethel attended
college at Springfield Normal at
Springfield, South Dakota from
1930 to 1933 and later at Northern
State College at Aberdeen, South
Dakota from 1967 to 1968.
On December 20, 1941, Ethel
married Harold E. Woodruff. Ethel
taught school for thirty-one and

and twelve years in Kadoka, six
years in Washington State 1944 to
1950, two years each in Sunnyside,
Richland and Benton City, and
eight and one half years in Para-
mount, California, where she re-
tired in 1977. She also worked in

Look at the pictures on your
walls. What do they tell about you?
Quite a bit, probably. We, for ex-
ample, have a picture of two young
kids running down the hill for
home after being cooped up in a
country school all day. This might
indicate that wife Corinne is a
school teacher and has taught at a
country school, which is so. We
also have a nice print of a butte
that figured largely in Corinnes
childhood since it sticks up above
the landscape near her hometown
and is pretty hard to miss. Another
large print is of a stream running
through forested hills as might be
seen in the western part of our
state and not far from the butte
previously mentioned.
Fortunately, I like at least two
of those paintings. I attended a
country school in the early grades,
and, although I have no particular
feelings about the butte, it is well
done in colors that please me. The
forested hills not so much since
mountains and forests tend to give
me claustrophobia, but the scene is
of a clearing and the greens are in
pleasant tones.
I, too, have a wall hanging that
isnt a favorite with Corinne. Its a
dream catcher with the skull of a
small animal in the center. Some-
how, my frau isnt big on suspend-
ing dead critters from the wall, but
at least she hasnt snatched the
thing down and flung it out the
door just yet. She has no major ob-
jection to the various sunset and
silhouette photos of mine that Ive
enlarged and hung here and there.
Being ranchers and of the rural
persuasion, we are not short of the
next horse picture either or shots
of particularly nice birds and flow-
ers.
In many homes in this area,
cowboy is king. You might see
major wall hangings of John
Wayne as he appeared in one of his
Western movies. Sitting around
the room might be various objects
or representations of such things
as cowboy hats, boots, spurs,
chaps, saddles, horses, cattle, tack,
ropes and the like.
Similarly, on the coast, you are
apt to find images of the ocean,
surf, ships, seashells, and that sort
of thing. Since I do love the ocean
although second to the prairie, I do
have a large original painting of
waves rolling up onto a beach. Its
quite nice but isnt hanging right
now as there is no good place for it,
nor are oceans high on the hit pa-
rade with Corinne. We once stayed
at a motel that was on a pier over
a bay, and she came down with
bronchitis. She also inclines to-
wards motion sickness so the
prospect of long voyages does not
fill her with delight. She isnt even
that fond of walking on the beach,
picking up shells, or playing in the
surf (which I am.)
If youre a hunter or fisherman,
this opens up another large assort-
ment of visual choices, namely
deer, elk, antelope, bass, walleyes,
ducks, pheasants, wild turkeys etc.
If youre into such things, you
would like my dentists office
wildlife everywhere but running
strongly to ducks. Nephew Scott
lives and breathes this stuff too,
and his collection of mounted tro-
phies has outrun his own home so
that some are on the walls of my
folks old house across the way
from ours. That house is fre-
quently home to Scott and his
cronies who come to hunt and fish
as often as they can.
The other day I was somewhat
taken aback at a bachelor pad I
visited. There was not a thing
hanging on the walls. A few family
photos were displayed on a small
stand by one wall, but, other than
that, the walls were virgin terri-
tory. The resident either had no
artistic sense or interest, or wasnt
in the place long enough to do
much with it. At least there were
no large posters of buxom lasses.
Speaking of artistic sense, the
way in which you display a collec-
tion of pictures will tell something
about you as well. If my mom had
three things she wanted to hang,
they would always be in a line
straight across. There would be
none of this sloping to enhance the
curve or flow of the room.
Foursquare was her style. Im the
opposite. I want groupings to be
somewhat arty.
So, if you dont want people to
know much about you, watch what
you hang on the wall. They might
tell the story. Personally, Im into
pretty sights and like interesting
and colorful things around me
wherever I happen to be. Maybe
Im taking a page from my Heav-
enly Fathers notebook when he
says, Fix your thoughts on what
is true and honorable and right.
Think about things that are pure
and lovely and admirable. Think
about things that are excellent and
worthy of praise. Not a bad idea.
Nice pictures on the wall can help.
Up The Wall
Lookin Around
by Syd Iwan
Merry Willard got to Rapid City
a couple of times lately. One day
Pat Willard of Philip and Merry
went in part to find a new humidi-
fier for Pat since her apartment is
too dry. They had lunch that day
with John Willard who now runs
the business his father started in
manufacturing and selling CAW
water. Another day, Chuck and
Merry both went and met their
daughter, Niki, from Hot Springs
and did some things with her and
shopped a bit. Back at home,
Chuck has been putting the finish-
ing touches on his chicken house
since hes ordered baby chicks and
expects them soon. Merry has been
deconstructing her basement
since she found fault with a bunch
of ants sneaking in a fault or crack
between the poured foundation and
the cement-block walls. That bug
doorway has now been sealed.
Some linoleum also was found to
harbor crawly things so it has been
removed. Reinstatement of the
floor coverings is scheduled to start
this week. Chuck has a couple of
brandings already on his schedule
and is looking forward to that sea-
son.
Chuck and Bob Fortune have a
new guy helping them this week.
His name is T. C. and comes from
Wyoming. Bobs wife, Ruth, found
him there in Wyoming since his
mother goes to the same church as
she does. T. C. has been working on
a place in Nebraska, but Fortunes
stole him away to come here.
Brisa and Martin Badure have a
couple of baby chicks that they are
tending at the moment. They got
them from their cousin Felicia in
Kadoka. Other than that, the goats
are about through kidding out, and
tending the rest areas east of town
is the main family activity for Greg
and Dana. Dana says they have
kind of a menagerie, considering
they have various critters running
around, but they enjoy them.
Fayola Mansfield is once again
walking on both legs and has been
for three weeks now. You may recall
that she badly broke her ankle
three months ago and has been
dealing with two casts and a black
brace. Those are now gone and a
cane is helping with mobility. Fay-
ola still isnt quite as mobile as
shed like to be but hopes she can
get outside soon and start dealing
with plants, weeds, and anything
else that needs tending.
Betty Kusick had lots of com-
pany on Sunday. Her daughter,
Loretta Schreiber, and her hus-
band, Lawrence, came and brought
dinner. Son and grandson, Kenny
and Kevin Kusick, came a bit later
in the afternoon as did nephew
Marvin Kusick and his two sons.
Kenny, Kevin, Marvin and kids all
went fishing in the afternoon.
Loretta and Lawrence pulled some
weeds and did other odd jobs.
There was a lot of visiting and
some picture taking. After every-
one had left, Betty went down to
the dam and did some fishing. She
didnt have much luck with the
fish, but she did have a good visit
with Rev. Denke who stopped there
at the dam just to visit.
Bunny Green was having a dis-
agreement with her dog on Sunday
evening. Shed gone out to feed a
kitten, but the dog grabbed it and
hauled it too far away for her to
feed it. She was waiting for the kit-
ten to wander back and meanwhile
scolding the dog. Betty Kusick
came over for coffee and a visit on
Friday. Rodney Schnee dropped by
for a half hour or so on Sunday.
Bunny and Rodney worked to-
gether at the truck stop for a num-
ber of years. Wally Wells also came
by with the mail one day. On Sun-
day, Bunny got to church and Sun-
day school which she didnt last
week due to the rain and mud.
Delores Bonenberger is keeping
her eye on the cattle since her guys
all tend to wander off and work
other places part of the time. They
are mostly done calving and have
already branded. They bought a
few more cows that calved later,
but Keith and Kade got those
calves branded up on Sunday. Brett
Bonenberger said they have syn-
chronized their heifers and are ex-
pecting to start artificially
inseminating them this week. They
put most of the cattle out to sum-
mer pasture on Sunday.
Ronda and Rick Dennis left
early Wednesday morning pulling
a U-haul trailer to Denver, CO.
Since their daughter, Bobbi, and
Ben recently purchased a new
home, it was time to get Bobbis be-
longings out of storage. Ronda and
Rick returned home on Sunday
evening.
Lee Addison said Rhonda contin-
ues to recuperate from the knee
surgery she had in January. Things
are not going as fast as she would
like, but theyre going. There is no
dancing or such activities just yet.
They also got some baby chicks re-
cently and are hoping to eventually
have some fried chicken and some
eggs if the coyotes dont manage to
have a field day.
Frank Carlson has been working
on the training of some colts lately.
Hes also been helping Clair and
JoAnn Bitting with tending cattle
part of the time. He said hes ready
to start the branding season which
he says is a good time of getting to-
gether with the other cowboys
around.
Colter Carlson said they are
mostly overseeing the calving
process. Ranch owner, Ken Wilson,
came from North Carolina last
week, helped a few days with this
and that, and flew back home on
Sunday.
Resolve says, I will. The man
says, I will climb this mountain.
They told me it is too high, too far,
too steep, too rocky and too diffi-
cult. But it is my mountain. I will
climb it. You will soon see me wav-
ing from the top of it or dead on
the side from trying. John Rohn
Pastor Denke visited in the Bill
and Marjorie Letellier home on
Monday.
Harry and Jeanne Merchen kept
appointments in Hot Springs and
Rapid City on Monday. Harry has
been enjoying using his hundred
year old John Deere walking plow
lately. Harry restored the antique
this winter while in Arizona. He
and Jeanne planted potatoes with
it last week. Sounds like fun, guys.
Tuesday morning the James
Letelliers were among the 100 folks
attending the groundbreaking for
the new fire hall at Parmelee.
Other area folks attending were
Howard and Nette Heinert, Ben
Huber, representing the White
River Fire Department, and the
Rosebud Sioux Tribe sent their fire
crew with their trucks as well.
Howard Heinert has been with the
project from its beginning in 2004,
when he served as a county com-
missioner; Nette is serving as
treasurer. It was a very nice cele-
bration complete with dignitaries
and gold shovels and a chili lunch
was served at the Lords Warriors
Lutheran Church following the
event. Little Michael Smith with
his red firemans helmet and gold
shovel stole the show.
Unless you live in an out of the
way place like Parmelee, you have
no idea what a big deal this really
is for them to have their own fire
trucks and hall. It will be nice to be
able to protect their own homes
and lands in case of fire without
having to hope and pray that a dis-
tant fire department arent already
busy somewhere else. When light-
ning strikes it usually does it in
more places than one that same
night. The folks all went home anx-
ious to see the day when they can
actually have a new fire hall stand-
ing at the site -- ready to protect
the fire trucks, that will in turn
protect them. The surrounding res-
idents sure appreciate Susan Kary,
who has spearheaded the entire
fire hall project.
Tuesday, Bill and Marjorie
Letellier accompanied Gary Letel-
lier to Winner. They also traveled
with him to Rapid City on Thurs-
day. Glad to hear you are getting
out some.
Norris School News:
The Norris School was glad to
report they had 67 percent of the
parents attending parent-teacher
conferences last Thursday after-
noon.
This Thursday the Academic
Rally Day will be held in White
River. Math and spelling contests
will be held. The students plan to
recite their poems in their rooms
during the afternoon. Their par-
ents are invited to attend.
May 1 is the date set for the stu-
dent field trips to Rapid City. The
third graders will go with the
White River third grade at a later
date. You know school is soon going
to be dismissed for the summer,
when the kids are going on field
trips.
We are glad to have JoAnn
Letellier home after spending a few
days in the Philip hospital. Since
then, she has been out and about
attending meetings as usual. She
attended the Kadoka Nursing
Home director meeting on Monday
evening and enjoyed Birthday Club
held on Wednesday afternoon at
the Norma VanderMay home.
Susan Taft worked at the
Belvidere Post Office Friday and
Saturday, while the Postmaster at-
tended the SD United States Post-
masters State Convention. Susan
went on to Rapid City for supplies
after working Saturday morning.
Dave and Colleen Letellier and
family came from Hulett, WY, for
the weekend at the Gale Letellier
ranch.
Spring is a fun time to be in the
country and everyone loves to help
out, too. Everything is green and
growing, tulips are blooming and
the iris and poppies are showing
their faces through the ground. The
baby calves are frolicking in the
pasture with their tails in the air
and birds are singing their arrival,
we even spotted a blue bird! The
grandkids are busy hunting for and
cuddling baby kittens. The weather
has been just beautiful for it all.
Friday evening, Morgan Taft
took part in the Michael Glynn
Memorial Coalition Youth Talent
Show in White River. Her mother,
Susan, also went in for the pro-
gram. It sounded like a very nice
event.
Jason, JaLynn Burma, Beaver,
Jade, Jakki and Jimmy arrived at
Norris very early Saturday morn-
ing. They were fishing at Pierre
until 1:30 a.m. Do you believe that?
I am not so sure I do, either.
Paul, LuAnne and Cassie Beck-
with visited in the James Letellier
and Andrea Beckwith homes on
Saturday. Julie Letellier of Kilgore
also was a guest at the James
Letelliers over the weekend.
Sunday afternoon visitors at the
Maxine Allard home were Harry
and Jeanne Merchen. Also Chuck
Grass and son stopped to visit a bit
with her after turkey hunting.
Maxine has been busy raking her
yard on these nice days. Maxine
will turn 89 on May first. Happy
birthday! Hope the day is as special
as you are!
Sunday after Mass, JoAnn
Letellier attended a Parish Council
meeting at the Our Lady of Victory
Catholic Church.
The South Dakota Stockgrowers
Association sent a letter to US
Dept of Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack this week calling for addi-
tional reform to the Beef Check-off
program.
In the letter to Secretary Vil-
sack, Stockgrowers President
Shane Kolb said, "We feel strongly
that producer confidence must be
restored to the Beef check-off pro-
gram in order to continue the pro-
gram as a benefit to producers."
The Beef Check-off program is a
federal mandate that requires one
dollar of every beef animal sold in
the United States to be paid for use
to promote and research beef. The
promotion and research work is
contracted to private organizations,
mostly the National Cattlemen's
Beef Association and their affili-
ates.
South Dakota Stockgrower
members have become wary of the
Beef Check-off program after re-
cent audits found a lack of trans-
parency and inadequate firewalls
to separate producer check-off
funds from the NCBA's private
work as a lobby organization.
Those lobby efforts have often been
in conflict with the policies sup-
ported by other producer groups in-
cluding Stockgrowers. Additionally,
the legislation that governs the
Beef Check-off program explicitly
denies the use of check-off moneys
for any lobbying by any contractor.
"It is becoming increasingly dif-
ficult for our members to justify
sending their hard earned dollars
to a contracting organization with-
out more substantial assurance
that the money is being separated
from any lobbying efforts."
"At a time when the United
States Beef herd is experiencing its
lowest numbers ever, and con-
sumer confidence is being repeat-
edly shaken through issues like the
lean finely textured beef discus-
sion, we need a strong beef promo-
tion program working for
producers more than ever." Kolb
closed the letter by saying, "We feel
that these changes would make sig-
nificant strides toward restoring
producer confidence and support
for the Beef Check-off program.
The Stockgrowers Board of Di-
rectors have called for reforms to
include:
Amending the Beef Promotion
Act by
1) allowing the Cattlemen's Beef
Board to become a completely inde-
pendent and freestanding organi-
zation, and
2) lifting the 5 percent cap on
CBB administrative costs so it can
finances its own independent meet-
ings without assistance from or co-
ordination with any policy
organization.
An amendment to the Beef Pro-
motion Act that would limit any
one organization from being
awarded contracts that equal more
than fifty percent of the total
check-off dollars in any calendar
year and that no portion of the beef
check-off dollars awarded to such
an organization be used to pay for
any portion of salaries or benefits
of people employed by a policy or
lobbying organization or of an indi-
vidual consultant or lobbyist.
A change in policy that accom-
plishes 1) a complete separation be-
tween any policy organization and
Federation of State Beef Councils
to provide for complete check-off
accountability, 2) an increase in
check-off fees to be tied to a two-
year periodic producer referendum
on the check-off program, and 3)
the beef check-off program should
be housed with other mandatory
check-off programs under USDA.
Stockgrowers call on USDA to continue
reform of Beef Check-off Program

PRE-SCHOOL/KINDERGARTEN
SCREENING
The Kadoka Area School District will be conducting their an-
nual pre-school and kindergarten screening on Wednesday,
May 16th. All pre-school children ages birth through five and
any six-year-olds that are new to the district and have not pre-
viously been screened are eligible for testing. This includes all
children in the Kadoka Area School District -- Kadoka, Long Val-
ley, Interior and Midland. Sara Speer, Birth to Three Coordina-
tor, will be available for testing and questions.
This screening is free and will help determine the specific
needs of individual children. It will help answer questions about
developmental progress or school readiness skills. The pre-
school screening will include a check of speech, language, vi-

Vicki D. Wilson,

James A. Stilwell, Chairman
Denke moved, Stilwell seconded, that all
county officials be authorized to attend
Spring Workshop in Pierre in May.
A quote from TruGreen / Chemlawn for
fertilization and insect protection of trees
was presented to the board. Annual total
would be $281.00. Bonenberger moved,
Twiss seconded, that the quote be ap-
proved.
Property tax comparisons by taxing dis-
trict for taxes due in 2011 and 2012 were
presented to the board.
Curt Reiter, Document Imaging and Mi-
crofilm Imaging Systems, Inc. presented
a demonstration of their equipment for
scanning documents. They will bring a
large scanner to scan the plat books, and
the Register of Deeds will be able to scan
all the other records as time allows. They
will rent a smaller scanner to the county
for use by the Register of Deeds for
$75.00 per month. Following discussion,
Bonenberger moved, Denke seconded,
that Jackson County enter into an agree-
ment with Document Imaging and Micro-
film Imaging Systems, Inc. for scanning
equipment and services.
Jackie Stilwell, Emergency Manager,
presented the PDM Grant agreement.
Bonenberger moved, Bennett seconded,
that Jackie Stilwell be authorized to sign
the agreement.
Jackie Stilwell presented an addendum
to the agreement with the state for reim-
bursement of Emergency Management
costs. The agreement would increase the
2012 amount to $9,983.57. Denke
moved, Bonenberger seconded, that the
agreement be approved and signed.
Twiss inquired as to radios acquired by
other agencies. Jackie Stilwell stated she
knew of two E. F. Johnson radios that
could be given to the Highway Depart-
ment, but Rushmore Communications
would have to be contacted to do the up-
grades. Report was made that Long Val-
ley Fire Department has ordered a radio,
Interior Fire Department may have one
that is upgradeable, but that Kadoka Fire
Department may not have upgradeable
radios.
E-mails received from Central S. D. En-
hancement District on the GIS project
were presented to the board. They had
questions concerning a newly filed plat,
and reported that CSDED has obtained
plats of state highways and I-90 from the
S. D. Department of Transportation. Dis-
cussion was held on the state not filing
older plats at the county level.
Denke reported on the Highway 73 proj-
ect in southern Jackson County, and the
poorly installed temporary fence on the
project.
States Attorney Van Gorp met with the
board. He reported that no one from T. F,
Luke and Sons has not contacted him
concerning the gravel crushing and
stockpiling project at the Kennedy Pit.
States Attorney Van Gorp informed the
board he had obtained records from the
2009 Pennington County vs. Ziebach
County case regarding mental illness
billings on Native American patients. He
reported that the case was dismissed,
and that state and federal agencies were
to have been billed for all mental illness
costs, not the county. Discussion was
held on two attorney bills for persons
serving as chairman of the Jackson
County Mental Illness Board which were
denied because the patients were Native
American. States Attorney Van Gorp ad-
vised the board that he feels the two bills
should have been paid, as was the de-
termination presented in a letter from
Judge Brown in December 2011. He also
informed the board the county should not
be responsible for payment of the serv-
ices provided by another countys mental
illness board. Discussion was held on es-
tablishing a Jackson County Mental Ill-
ness Board. Twiss moved that Jackson
County pay Thomas Lee $24.60 and
Todd Love $8.20 for services provided as
Chairman of the Jackson County Mental
Illness Board. States Attorney Van Gorp
also informed the board that he plans to
revise the medical and mental illness de-
nial letter that the county has been using.
Denke seconded the motion. Motion car-
ried with the following vote: Bennett,
yea; Bonenberger, nay; Denke, yea; Stil-
well, nay; Twiss, yea.
A billing from Clinical Laboratory, au-
topsy, $1,646,00 and a billing from Com-
munity Health Center, mental illness
costs, $130.00 were presented to the
board. Denke moved, Bonenberger sec-
onded, that the billing from Clinical Lab-
oratory in the amount of $1,646.00 be
denied, as the County Coroner did not
order the autopsy, and that the billing
from Community Health Center in the
amount of $130.00 be denied as the pa-
tient was not admitted on an involuntary
basis and the patient may be eligible for
IHS benefits.
At 11:30, as was advertised, fuel bids

ceived for the period of April 12, 20l2

Make germination
testing for small
grains a part of
spring planting
Germination testing for small
grain seed that has been saved
from previous growing seasons
should be a regular step in spring
planting preparation, says SDSU
Extension Plant Pathology Field
Specialist Bob Fanning, during a
recent iGrow Radio Network inter-
view.
This year is a crucial year when
a germination test should be done
because of all the potential prob-
lems that can impact poor germina-
tion," Fanning said. "When we look
at all different disease problems
and production problems we had
last year including; scab, black
point, glume blotch, ergot and
other various virus diseases along
with root and crown rot - there
were an awful lot of things that can
result in poor germination and poor
seedling vigor."
Fanning explains that a germi-
nation test shows growers what
percentage of a seed unit is capable
of producing normal seedlings
under ordinarily favorable condi-
tions. Germination rate is standard
when growers purchase new bags
of seed, however, if small grain pro-
ducers save seed from the previous
harvest to plant back the following
season the only way they can know
the germination rate is by having
the seed tested.
"The germination test will tell
them how well that lot of seed will
perform for them," he said.
The SDSU Seed Testing Labora-
tory is a great resource for growers
needing a germination test. Grow-
ers can pick up envelopes and in-
formation at their local Extension
office or Regional Extension Cen-
ter. Growers can expect results in
about two weeks.
Fanning says if a unit of seed
has a germination rate of 85 per-
cent or greater, growers can expect
OK yields. The ideal germination
rate is 90 to 95 percent. When a
unit of seed has lower germination
rates, Fanning says growers may
want to either purchase new seed
or adjust their planting rate - deci-
sions he says cannot be made un-
less growers know the germination
rate.
"Knowing what that germina-
tion percentage is allows them to
adjust their planting rate to get the
stand they desire," he said.
All purchased seed must be
tested for germination.
"Germination test is a require-
ment of selling certified seed," he
said.

South Dakotans heading out-
doors need to protect themselves
from ticks and the diseases they
can carry, says a state health offi-
cial.
Each year we have South
Dakotans infected with tularemia,
Rocky Mountain spotted fever and
Lyme disease all tick-borne ill-
nesses, said Dr. Lon Kightlinger,
State Epidemiologist for the De-
partment of Health. Last year we
reported four cases of Lyme dis-
ease, eight of tularemia, three of
ehrlichiosis, and one Rocky Moun-
tain spotted fever in South
Dakota.
Kightlinger noted that the de-
partment investigates every case of
tick-borne disease reported. Those
investigations found that all four
cases of Lyme disease reported in
2011 had out-of state tick exposure.
South Dakotas prairies actually
help to deter Lyme disease some-
what because the deer tick that
carries it needs heavily forested
areas to thrive.
A 2011 tick surveillance project
in eastern South Dakota found
none of the Ioxodes black-legged
deer ticks that carry Lyme disease.
The SDSU-led project surveyed
forested areas around Sica Hollow,
Oak Lake and Lewis and Clark
Recreation Area multiple times
over an 88-day period between
June and October.
While we did not find the deer
tick that carries Lyme disease, we
did find that Dermacentor vari-
abilis, the dog tick, was plentiful in
all three locations, said Dr.
Michael Hildreth, a professor in
the departments of Biology and Mi-
crobiology and also Veterinary and
tissue and pull slowly and steadily,
being careful not crush it. Then
apply antiseptic to the site to pre-
vent infection. If you use bare
hands to remove a tick, wash your
hands thoroughly with warm water
and soap, being especially careful
not to touch your eyes before wash-
ing.
To repel ticks when outdoors
tuck your pants into your socks and
spray clothes and any exposed skin
with a tick repellent. Other precau-
tions include:
Check frequently for ticks
when outside, especially the scalp
and folds of skin. Ticks need to be
attached for several hours to
spread infection so you can signifi-
cantly cut your risk by checking for
and removing ticks right away.
Check small children thor-
oughly and often for ticks when
they've been outside or have had
contact with pets or livestock that
may have ticks.
Ask your veterinarian about
appropriate insecticides and collars
to protect pets from ticks and limit
the number they carry into the
home. For added protection, apply
insecticides and tick repellents to
your pet's bedding.
Check your animals frequently
for ticks. To remove ticks from ani-
mals, apply constant traction with
forceps or tweezers. If you must use
your fingers, wear disposable
gloves and wash hands thoroughly
with soap and water afterward.
Fact sheets on specific tick-borne
diseases can be found on the De-
partment of Health web site at

Biomedical Science at SDSU. The
dog tick transmits Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever, tularemia and ehrli-
chiosis.
Symptoms of tick-borne illness
include sudden onset of a moder-
ate-to-high fever, stiff neck, deep
muscle pain, arthritis, fatigue, se-
vere headache, chills, a rash on the
arms and legs or around the site of
the bite, and swollen lymph nodes,
particularly in the neck. If you de-
velop any of these symptoms after
a tick bite, see your doctor. With
Rocky Mountain spotted fever the
illness does not start immediately
after the tick bite, but typically 5 to
10 days after the tick attachment.
A tick bite is usually painless
and appears as a small red bump
with a bright red halo. To remove
an attached tick, use tweezers or a
