Public position vacancies
Friday, February 28 was the final
day to file petitions for school board and
city council positions.
There are three candidates running
for the Kadoka Area School Board positions. Two positions are open; the position held by Dale Christen and the
position vacated by DJ Addison. Christensen is seeking re-election as well as
Mark DeVries and Bob Fugate who also
filed petitions. The election will be held
Tuesday, April 8.
The municipal election will not be
held since there were no nomination
certificates filed. The following councilmemembers are unopposed and will
be issued election certificates: Colby
Shuck (Ward 1), Arne Lund (Ward 2),
Cory Lurz (Ward 3), and Brad Jorgensen (Ward 4).

Jackson County Commissioners
met on Friday, February 28, to discuss
a tax opt-out proposal. Commissioners
Glen Bennett, Jim Stilwell, and Larry
Johnston were in attendance. Commissioners Larry Denke and Ronnie
Twiss were absent.
The current 5-year opt-out, expiring
this year, allocated $150,000 per year.
The proposed opt-out would be for
$400,000 for the next three years
(2015 through 2018). “At this point,
it’s not adequate for the operations of
the county,” said Bennett. Another
reason for the desired increase is that
the county is hoping to put a portion
of funding back into CDs (as of January 1 there is $117,132 saved in CDs).
Vicki Wilson revealed the county’s
2014 budget, which totals out at
$2,349,956, and the fund balance as of
January 1, which was $348,305.55.
Three new funds have been added: the
law enforcement equipment fund, the
highway building fund, and the highway equipment fund. These funds
were formerly in each departmental
budget but have been set up by the
county to ensure the funds would be
spent on equipment.
One of the county’s major priorities
for funds is road and bridge repairs/replacement. Currently twelve bridges
are said to be deficient, with four on
the “redlist,” needing work or replace-

Short takes from the State Capitol
Here’s a brief review of some of the
S.D. Legislature’s recent action:
The Teach for America funding bill,
SB 127, met defeat in the Senate recently. It needed a two-thirds affirmative vote because of the funding, and
received a 17-17 vote. While Sen. Phyllis Heineman, R-Sioux Falls, urged passage to continue the state’s investment
to help Native American students
achieve academic success, those against
he funding cited Teach for America’s
vast resources from donors nationally.
The state’s $350,000 donation could be
better spent in traditional k-12 education funding.
The controversial bill to solve fishing
and hunting rights on nonmeandered
waters over private land in the state
ended for this year by being tabled in
the Senate on a 31-3 vote. “All involved
parties should be on notice,” said Sen.
Tim Rave, R-Baltic, who had served on
an interim study committee on the
topic, that the process of finding a solution would continue. The full resolution
to the problem had not been found on
this issue, Rave said.
A bill remains alive for rebuilding a
stretch of rail line from Chamberlain
west to Presho, but the decision on
whether it will be $6 million or somewhat less won’t be made until the final
days of the legislature. That is when
budget figures are squeezed into place
on numerous funding bills.
Both the House and the Senate have
approved a ban on texting while driving
a motor vehicle. However, with differences between the bills passed by each
body, the final bill will have to have
those differences hammered out by a
conference committee. Both versions
make texting while driving a secondary
offense, which means it is not an offense
which a law enforcement officer can use
to stop a vehicle.
An attempt to force HB 1183, a repeal
of the state’s death penalty, to the
House floor from the State Affairs Committee, called a “smoke out,” failed. The
bill, said Rep. David Lust, R-Rapid City,
“had a lengthy hearing in committee”
and he opposed giving it more time on
the House floor.
The effort to stop Common Core, the
testing program for k-12 schools, failed
to receive support on various bills, ending the battle. However, Rep. Jim Bolin,
R-Canton, one of the more vocal legislators speaking against the testing program, agreed with one measure that
would prohibit the state board from
adopting any such standards until July
2016. That bill, sponsored by Sen. Ernie
Otten, R-Tea, is headed for the House
floor.
Money that has been overbudgeted
for FY2014 was voted by both houses to
revert to reserves, according to Rep.
Susan Wismer, D-Britton, in protesting
the bill’s passage. For the third year in
a row, she said, money was being diverted except where it should go: to
higher education and Medicaid
providers.

ment this year. (One of the four, Blackpipe Bridge, has a five-ton limit placed
on it). Allocation for gravel hauling
was a big point of concern for those in
attendance. “1.25 million over ten
years,” said Paul Gropper, “and we
just haven’t seen the results.” The
county has 100,000 tons of gravel
stockpiled currently, which they estimate is sufficient to cover 100 miles
(using a 2-inch mat which would
amount to about 900 tons of gravel per
mile). Bids for gravel hauling will be
taken at the March 10 meeting.
The county is also proposing to replace the library building; estimated
cost of a new construction is $150,000.
Repairs are also needed on the highway shop’s east wall: an estimated
$60,000 for mud-jacking, drainage,
and re-roofing. $50,000 per year of the
proposed opt-out money would be allocated to each fund.
Four separate opt-out resolutions
are being proposed. Gropper stated he
is willing to circulate a petition to
county residents to vote on the optout. He also said he would consider a
petition to vote on whether the county
should continue maintaining a library
at all. The commissioners encourage
people to attend the upcoming meetings. Stated Bennett, “We need input
from everybody. We’d like to have
them educated as to where we’re at
and why.”

Lookin’ Around | Syd Iwan
Fun Times
I’ve been having so much fun
this week. I’ve been dealing with
income taxes, water heaters, and
snow. Sounds like quite a bit of fun,
don’t you think?
Usually I don’t mind tax work
since accounting is rather enjoyable. This year, though, I’ve had a
really hard time making myself get
with the program. The third of
March is the deadline for ranchers
who don’t estimate taxes, like us, so
I’ve had to finally bite the bullet
and get on with it. The return, I’m
happy to say, is now done and
ready to send either through the
mail or online. I haven’t decided
which just yet, but either is fairly
simple and only requires a moment
of time.
Two things caused my reluctance to do the job. Depreciation is
the first roadblock. They have so
many rules and regulations about
that which are extremely complicated. I have a publication from the
IRS which tells all about it and
runs to a hundred-plus pages. Just
finding the right table to use takes
concentration since you have to use
the double-declining-balance 150percent table for farming and
ranching, and there are several
others that are similar but not the
same. Even when using the right
section, you have to use different
parts depending on what month of
the year you placed the asset in
service. Unfortunately, our family
corporation takes the 200-percent
table instead of the 150 which adds
to the confusion. I finally fought my
way through all that gibberish and
From the U.S. House | Representative Kristi Noem
am pretty sure I have it right. It
would be easier if you dealt with it
more frequently than once a year.
Secondly, I use a tax program
that I get online for the computer
that costs me about eighty bucks. It
is worth the money, but it has
glitches. You have to pay very close
attention to what you’re doing and
then usually go back and make
some adjustments here and there.
The program isn’t particularly designed with ranchers in mind so I
have to remember that. This is despite the program’s claim that it
will lead you through everything
and come up with the correct return. This isn’t necessarily so.
Still, it wasn’t as complicated as I
had feared and only took a few
hours to get the financial info entered and a completed return
printed out. It looks right. I hope it
is.
I still have our corporation return to do, but that is pretty simple
and only a few pages long, whereas
the main ranching return runs to
about twenty pages. Since I’m on a
roll here, I plan to crank that out
later today and be done with it.
Then all I have to do is finish the
accounting entries for last year on
the books and set up for this year.
That’s rather fun. I won’t have to
work so hard in making myself do
it like I did with the actual tax returns.
Then we come to water heaters.
We had to have a new one installed
recently, but the factory heat setting wasn’t cutting it for wife
Corinne who likes extremely hot
baths (which I don’t.) Anyway, after
several promptings, I got out the
screwdrivers, removed the two
plates, and reset the temperature
for both the upper and lower tanks.
Expecting a glowing report after
Corinne’s bath that evening, I was
shocked and disappointed to have
her say the water temperature was
lower than it had been. Her bath
had been decidedly lukewarm.
Aargh!
Back to the screwdrivers and
plates. She was right. Instead of
turning the heat up, I had actually
turned it down. They had readings
for Celsius temperatures as well as
Fahrenheit, and the Celsius had
confused me the first time around.
I tried again and apparently got it
right this time since the water is
hot enough to boil your hands if you
try to do dishes in it just like it was
with the old water heater. If you
fiddle with things long enough—
water heaters or tax returns—you
might just accidentally get them
right.
I probably need to tell you very
little about dealing with more snow
and extreme cold as we’ve had to
this last week and all during this
very long winter. You know all
about that so I’ll just say my hope
is that spring will come extremely
soon. That groundhog that caused
and/or predicted this extension of
winter should obviously be shot.
With taxes done and water
heater set correctly, my current
plans are to take most of the coming week off and do only those
things that are truly fun. This
might not give me a feeling of accomplishment like the last week
has, but so be it. Let the good times
roll.
After Linda and I got married,
we built our house on the farm
near Dell Rapids where I was
raised. As we were constructing
our house, we took special steps to
make our home as energy efficient
as possible. The house is situated
with a grove of trees to the north
to block the cold winter winds and
the south facing wall of the house
is covered with windows. The winter sunlight fills the house and
heats the house for free. We built
walls 14 inches thick to accommodate extra insulation. I also installed an electric heat pump
water heater for use in the summer. It heats the water more
cheaply than resistance coils and
cools the house at the same time,
using minimal electricity. These
things have made our house less
expensive to operate, which has
helped our family save money.
When I took office, I became curious about whether we could
apply some of these efficiency
measures to Governor’s Houses.
The Governor’s House program
was established in 1996 to give
more families the opportunity to
own a home. The homes are built
by inmates at Mike Durfee State
Prison in Springfield and are in-

tended to be quality, low-cost, lowmaintenance homes. More than
1,900 of these homes have been
purchased by the elderly, persons
with disabilities and by incomequalified families across the state.
Last year, I asked the Department of Corrections and the Housing Development Authority to
explore ways to make the Governor’s House more energy efficient,
and, in the long run, save homeowners money.
Their first step was to build a
prototype which met the Passive
House Standard. The Passive
House Standard is a rigorous energy efficiency standard that requires heavy insulation, an
airtight envelope around the
house, highly efficient windows,
highly effective heating and cooling systems, and an energy recovery air exchanger. Structures
meeting the Passive House Standard have very low utility bills,
and the homes retain enough heat
to provide survivability even in extreme cold without power.
The demonstration house was
built in only a few months and the
house was displayed at the State
Fair to demonstrate the new cutting-edge building technologies.
After the model was completed,
it became clear that building every
Governor’s House according to the
Passive House Standard would
Often times when I talk with
folks in Washington about farming, they still picture a tanned
man in a straw hat and flannel
shirt perched atop a small, cabless tractor. Sure, there are still
animals to feed, cows to be milked,
and dusty fields to work in. We
still wake up early and spend the
day doing hard labor. But the industry has changed since then. I
love being able to share what it’s
like to be a producer today and
stand tall when I say that I too
was a farmer.
The modern day farmer and
rancher is a jack-of-all-trades.
We’re chemists and IT specialists.
We need to know about marketing, business, and mechanics. We
invent. We innovate. We modernize. And we are subject to a litany
of government regulations – many
written by those who have never
dropped a digger into the ground.
Two years ago, the U.S. Department of Labor handed down a new
proposal that would have undermined traditional family agriculture. Many South Dakotans hire
their nieces or nephews to help
out during the summer, but these
requirements would have put new
limits on what they could do.
Safety on farms and ranches is
make the house too expensive for
those who qualify for the program.
Instead of using the model that incorporates all of the standards,
the new Governor’s Houses will
apply some of the Passive House
principles. The increased cost of
the upgrades will be offset by the
decrease homeowners will see in
their utility bills. The new design
includes better insulation and
windows, an airtight envelope and
an energy recovery air exchanger.
These houses will meet the Energy Star Standard, making those
who qualify eligible for federally
insured mortgages which are
available only to energy efficient
homes.
Homeownership is a part of the
American dream, and the Governor’s House program has made
that dream come true for hundreds of South Dakotans – people
who may not otherwise ever own a
home. By continuing to make the
homes even more efficient and affordable, we’ll be making that
dream a reality for many more in
the future.

apply, visit sdhda.org and click on

Congress has a bad habit of
passing legislation that treats the
symptoms of our problems rather
than the problems themselves.
From reauthorizing emergency
jobless benefits, to expanding
Medicaid, too often the quick fix is
the wrong approach, and taking
the easy way out merely leads us
further from addressing the cause
of our problems.
According to a recent Gallup
poll, Americans cited unemployment as their top concern. Their
concerns are justified as 3.6 million Americans have been unemployed for six months or longer
and the percentage of Americans
in the labor force is the lowest
we’ve seen since Jimmy Carter
was president. All these factors
are a clear indicator of why our
leaders in Washington need to be
looking for ways to break the cycle
of chronic unemployment and get
these men and women back to
work, rather than throwing temporary fixes at our long-term problems.

The legislation would provide a
one-time, low-interest loan up to
$10,000 for a long-term unemployed individual to relocate to
start a new job. It would also
streamline and improve job training by including the House-passed
SKILLS Act, which would consolidate 35 federal employment and

called the retirement test, concerns how much can be earned
from wages or self-employment in
a calendar year without reducing
benefits during that year.
Called a special payment,
money received for work done before retirement is not normally included for the earnings test.
Income received after retirement
is a special payment if the last action to earn it was completed before stopping work. Examples
could include accumulated vacation or sick pay, bonuses and sales
commissions. If self-employed, net
income received after the first
year you retire is a special payment if you performed the services
to earn the payment before becoming entitled to receive Social Security.
For example, say a person retired at the end of 2013 and
started receiving Social Security
retirement as of January 2014. In
January, the person received payment for unused vacation time
from the former employer. Since
this vacation pay was earned before retirement, it is considered a
special payment and not counted
towards the 2014 annual earnings
limit.
Two local occupations often receiving special payments for Social Security retirement purposes
are insurance agents and farmers.
Insurance commissions for policies
sold before retirement but received after the year of retirement
are usually special payments. If a
farmer fully harvested and stored
a crop before or in the month of
entitlement to SSA benefits, and
then carried it over for sale in the
next year, the income will not affect benefits for the year of sale.
Keep documentation related to
this.

That’s why on February 25th, I
introduced legislation that would
actually address the serious problem of long-term unemployment in
America. My bill would exempt
businesses that hire long-term unemployed individuals from ObamaCare’s mandate to provide
health insurance or pay a fine for
each uninsured employee. Currently, a key barrier to hiring for
small businesses is the fear that
adding a new employee will put
their business over the threshold
for ObamaCare-mandated insurance coverage. This legislation
would remove the barrier for longterm unemployed individuals by
eliminating the ObamaCare burdens and costs associated with hiring these workers.
My bill would also enact a sixmonth employer-side payroll tax
holiday for each long-term unemployed individual hired. For an
employee hired with a $40,000
salary, that represents a $1,240
incentive to hire a long-term unemployed individual, which will
help break the cycle of unemployment for those millions of Americans who have been out of work
for 27 weeks or longer.

memo indicating the Agency
would now have the authority to
regulate “post-harvest” activities
on family farms. These post-harvest activities include storage, fumigation and drying.
OSHA doesn’t belong on family
farms, and the law clearly states
that. Small operations have a
strong vested and personal interest in keeping their operations
safe and viable. They don’t need to
be threatened with more regulatory oversight to make sure
they’re operating in a way that
keeps their family safe.
I once again put pressure on
the administration to reverse
course and earlier this month, the
Department of Labor announced
they would withdraw the memo
and keep OSHA investigators off
our family farms.
I’m proud to stand up every day
in support of family farms. I’m
proud to explain what the industry is – and isn’t – and to keep unnecessary regulations away from
farming and ranching operations.
Most of all, I’m proud to represent
a state whose economy is still
rooted in the women and men who
feed the animals, milk the cows,
and work in the dusty fields – who
wake up early and spend the day
doing hard labor – who call themselves farmers and feed the world.

imperative, but we need to have a
commonsense approach to how we
address the issue.
I joined other Members of Congress from rural areas to put pressure on the Department of Labor
and by the end of April 2012, the
Department of Labor withdrew
the proposal.
This situation is not an anomaly.
A few years ago, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
announced they wanted to regulate dust to the point that it would
have been hard for farmers to dig
their fields unless it had rained
that week. In response, I introduced the Farm Dust Regulation
Prevention Act, which passed in
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the administration reversed course.
Then, in late 2013, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) investigators
walked onto a small Nebraska
farm. The investigators said the
farm willfully violated OSHA regulations, including a rule on the
proper gear to wear when entering
a grain bin, and levied against
this family a $132,000 fine.
Since 1976, Congress has
banned OSHA from regulating
farming operations with 10 or
fewer employees. However, in
2011, OSHA quietly issued a

Thought: do not forget small
kindnesses and do not remember
small flaws.
Belvidere News | Syd Iwan, 381-2147
Frank Carlson took in an exotic
sale at Platte recently. He came
home with two miniature horses,
two miniature longhorns, and a
mini donkey. The donkey went to
Brett Prang, but Frank is keeping
the rest. His sons might be able to
ride the little horses before long.
You might as well start them
young. In other news, he has
started calving with a few now on
the ground out at Mike Blom’s.
Oddly enough, the ice hasn’t been
all that thick for chopping the
water for critters. A wind a while
ago thinned it a bit, and the belowzero temps haven’t quite got it
back up to full strength just yet.
Scot and Jodie O’Bryan have
mostly just been waiting for it to
warm up and hoping that will
come soon.
Ted Vobr spent most of last
week in the Philip hospital. Jim
Addison drove him over there on
Tuesday, and Dr. Holman decided
he should stay. They did various
tests for heart problems and pneumonia, but mostly decided it was
just a bad case of the flu. He was
still in residence on Monday. He
said that was a good place to be
during this cold snap, and he
didn’t mind staying until it
warmed up a bit. Since Ted has
nine brothers and sisters, some of
them have been calling to check on
him and keep his spirits up.
Betty Kusick said her daugh-
ters have finally gotten home from
traveling here and there around
the globe. Loretta Schreiber and
her husband, Lawrence, of Quinn
just got back from a vacation in
Hawaii. They did some island
skipping and report having quite a
good time. Kathy and her husband, Jerry, of Rapid City went to
Colorado to visit Kathy’s daughter,
and then journeyed south to
Texas, Oklahoma, and Mexico.
They were gone a couple of weeks
and also enjoyed themselves. All
the travelers are now recuperating
from their travels. Betty said she
was happy enough to stay at home
while everyone else traveled
around. She did visit Dolores Obr
a couple of times last week, took
her mail to her and so on.
Church was called off in
Belvidere on Sunday due to the
snow and cold. Rev. McCubbin and
his wife, Ruth, were gone at the
time anyway since they were in
Florida at a reunion of Ruth’s family. That was a good place to be
since it was about the only state in
the union that wasn’t having bad
weather.
Cella Baldwin celebrated her
birthday on the first of March. It
was too cold to do a lot of celebrating, but it was observed anyway.
Chris is home at the moment after
having been to Texas to check on
his bees which seem to be doing
okay. Terry said Cella’s birthday is
%
!
at a time of year when a person
never knows what the weather
will do. Sometimes it is nice and
sometimes not.
Marie Addison said it’s been so
cold in Murdo that she hasn’t been
able to get together much with the
others who often do some exercises
at the senior center. They do moving and stretching to a tape and
may go on with it for a half hour or
so. She said it keeps the joints
loosened up and working half decently
Eric and Pam Osborn spent
some time on Sunday thawing out
the water pipes in their basement.
The whole system didn’t freeze up,
but parts of it did. They also cut
some wood to help keep themselves toasty. A ham was cooked
although they were the only ones
there to eat it. Some of the leftovers are scheduled to be made
into bean soup that will go down
nicely with a bit of corn bread.
Pam said a coyote has been taking
pleasure in irritating their dog. It
wanders in, gets chased away by
the dog, and then drifts back before long. Pam said to mention
that she fully intends to return a
green bag of Phyllis Word’s to her
before very long. This is apparently some kind of joke going on
between the two since the bag
never quite seems to get transferred.
Wrestling Tournament in Aberdeen. The Merchens were busy
suporting all the Philip and
Kadoka Area wrestlers. The team
came home with second place trophy.
Starting this week, the St. John
Lutheran Church Lenten Services
will be held. They will be every
Thursday this year. Services will
be held at 6:30 p.m. with soup
supper to follow in the church
basement. Ladies are asked to
bring anything that would compliment soup or dessert.
JoAnn Letellier visited with
Bill and Marjorie Letellier in
Philip one day last week.
Thursday night Morgan Taft
stayed in White River in order to
play in the Pep band for the tournament.
Our hearts go out to Leslie
(Babe) WoodenKnife and family at
the loss of his dear wife Leona. I
have fond memories of serving on
election board with “Ruth”, when
she tried to teach me Lakota. I
was such a slow learner we
worked on the same words every
election! We had many a laugh
over that. Services were held for
Leona Ruth Wooden Knife on Friday. May the Lord Jesus wrap His
precious arms around you in comfort.
James and Marjorie Anne
Letellier visited in the Paul Beckwith home at Pierre on Friday.
I realized, I must have been
watching the Olympics too much
when it seemed like it took a long
Belated congratulations to Emmaline Eagle Bear of Blackpipe.
Vincent Black Spotted Horse and
Emmaline Eagle Bear were
crowned Sweetheart King and
Queen on Valentine’s Day at the
White River Care Center. Emmaline is a true sweetheart and she
even got roses! She joins a long list
of Royalty from the Norris area.
Susan Taft and Heather attended a bull sale in Pierre on
Monday. Tuesday, Dan and Susan
Taft attended the girls District
Basketball tournament in White
River. Morgan plays in the band.
Wednesday, Dorothy Bligh and
Maxine Allard made a trip to
Valentine and kept appointments.
Maxine also enjoyed a visit with
her friend Jim Kroeger at the
Cherry Hills Apartments.
Sharon Ring attended Bible
Study at the St. John Lutheran
church basement on Wednesday
afternoon.
Word was received of the recent
loss of Jed Wohlgemuth due to
cancer. Jed is the son of Rev. Dick
and Sue Wohlgemuth. The
Wohlgemuths pastored the Norris
Bible Church during the 70s.
Folks may send them a card at:
114 2nd Ave. SE, Spring Grove,
Minnesota 55974.
The Tafts kept appointments in
Martin on Wednesday and then
attended Parent/Teacher Conferences in White River that evening.
It was such a nice day Thursday that Bob Totton of Murdo
came down and visited Howard
and Nette Heinert’s in the morning and then went to Ed and Carol
Ferguson’s to visit was a dinner
guest. Later that afternoon he visited in the James Letellier home.
Ty Merchen also got in on the fun
conversation and history lesson on
“Days Gone By” in Norris. There
was plenty to laugh about and still
is – like building the hall, etc.
Tim and Tammy Merchen
spent the weekend at the State B
$
time to make minute oatmeal!
Would you believe - Red Leaf
was represented in Hawaii this
last weekend? As luck would have
it; Richard Charging Hawk and
Branden Marshall were invited to
play for an Oklahoma softball
team at a fast pitch tournament in
Hawaii, while it was a freezing
cold weekend in South Dakota.
The guys left, only to have the
games cancelled due to rain. They
do have pictures of them laying on
the beautiful beach, whales, etc. to
prove they were there. The worst
part is we still have the frigid temperatures to welcome them home.
I only wish we fans could have
gone along, don’t you?

to get out.

Kougars finish regular season against Scotties Grapplers grab state’s runner-up spot
The Kadoka Kougars played their final game of the regular season
on Friday, February 28 against the Philip Scotties. Parents night was
held along with senior reconigtion. Seniors on the team are Lane Patterson, True Buchholz, and Aage Ceplacha.
It was a tough battle between the teams, but Kougars fell to the
Scotties 25-73.
Patterson and Aaron Janis each had four points, while Deontae
Thorn, Brendon Porch, AJ Bendt, and Ceplacha each added three.
“Our last home game of the season is always a hard one to play,”
said coach Mark Reiman. “But proud of the team and the improvements they have made.”
True Buchholz drives the lane for the basket.
Lane Patterson goes above the defense to the hoop.
Bringing home the runner-up
plaque, was made possible by a
great team effort from the Philip
Area grapplers.
With 11 of 14 weight classes represented, Philip placed four individuals in the championship
bracket, more than any other team.
State champion Parkston placed
two. They had wrestlers in all
weight classes but one that placed
from first to eighth. It’s those numbers that gave them the championship spot.
Head coach Matt Donnelly said
Philip Area wrestlers put forth a
great effort, representing themselves very well. They upset several matches where they were the
underdogs, he said.
Lane Blasius won the championship spot for the 152 weight
class. Taking second were Jed
Brown, Rance Johnson and Chandlier Sudbeck. Placing third was
Logan Ammons. Placing fifth was
Nick Donnelly.
Ammons won the most pins
award for the second year in a row.
N.Donnelly, a freshmen, achieved
his 100th career win while at the
tournament. Blasius won the Lynn
Wagner Memorial Scholarship.
Fifty-six teams were represented
at the tournament. Team points
were: Parkston – 158, Philip Area –

Edith “Thelma” Johannesen_________________________
Robert Leroy Young, age 94, of
Kadoka, S.D., died Monday,
March 3, 2014, at the Rapid City
Regional Hospital.
Robert Leroy Young was born
June 15, 1919, at Reeds Spring,
Mo., the son of Edgar and Narcissus “Dude” (Smith) Young. At the
age of five, he moved with his family to Pajaro Valley, Calif., where
he received his education.
Robert entered the U.S. Army,
serving in World War II. After his
honorable discharge, he returned
to southern California. He was
united in marriage to Alma Lewis
on August 18, 1946, in Mexico.
They made their home in Hollister, Calif., for one year before moving to Prunedale, Calif. Robert
worked for the Civil Service at Ft.
Ord as a heavy equipment operator and also was in the Navy Reserves. He retired in 1979, and
began driving school bus for the
next seven years.
His wife, Alma, preceded him in
Edith "Thelma" Johannesen,
age 97, Quinn, S.D., died March 2,

Edith "Thelma" Chadwick was
born January 24, 1917, to Elvin
and Edith (Rush) Chadwick in
Wabasha, Minn., in her Grandma
Chadwick’s home. At six months
of age they moved to St. Paul,
Minn. A year and a half later, she
was joined by her sister, Stella.
Because of her father’s declining
health, they moved to Cottonwood
when she was 11 years old. There
were lots of things for a city girl to
learn on the farm. She worked on
the N.Y.A. program making mattresses until Pearl Harbor was
bombed and the program was
stopped.
On December 17, 1941, she
married Harry Johannesen, the
love of her life, in Rushville, Neb.
They moved on the hill above her
parents. Two years later they
started their family. She enjoyed
raising a big garden and canning.
She loved seeing all the animals
on the farm, especially the baby
animals. Every year she raised
lots of chickens.
death on November 11, 2004. He
continued to make his home in

Rodrques of Tracy, Calif.; 16
grandchildren; 38 great-grandchildren; 114 great-great-grandchildren;

State of South Dakota | Senator Jim Bradford
Legislative Week 7
Greetings from your District 27
Senator Jim Bradford.
We’ve now completed the seventh week of work in Pierre. We
passed “cross-over” on Feb. 25th,
and now will focus on House Bills,
just as the House will take up the
bills which have passed the Senate. When bills are passed by the
other body, but with changes that
may not be accepted by the other
legislative body, they must end up
in a conference committee to iron
out the differences.
The last couple weeks of each
Session have a lot of moving parts
as the Appropriations Committee
gets the final revenue numbers,
adjusts the budget accordingly,
and figures in the cost of any new
legislation which passes which impacts the General Fund.
Health care has been at the
forefront this Session. Several
bills were primarily sponsored by
Democrats which would have a
tremendous impact on the lives
and health of South Dakotans.
I was proud to co-sponsor SB
122 which would provide audiology services for South Dakota’s
children. The prime sponsors were
District 21 Democrats and my
good friends, Sen. Billie Sutton
and Rep. Julie Bartling. Prior to
bringing this issue forward, insurance companies actually provided
no coverage for hearing aids. It
was all out of pocket, unless those
requiring services were Medicaid
eligible. SB 122 did not require insurance companies to offer this
benefit, but sought to define what
those benefits should be if the insurance companies chose to offer a
plan. It lays out guidelines which
include providing for physician
care and licensed audiology services. Due to support for this issue,
3 of the 4 biggest insurance companies in the state are now committed
to
covering
these
life-changing services. Another related bill (HB 1166) was supported
by the Governor through the
Health and Human Services Department. It proposes to expand
the use of the Telecommunications
for the Deaf Fund to provide hearing aids on a sliding scale according to economic need. The fund
has been growing over the years
with $15 cents from every phone
line, including cellular, contributing to the fund. Let’s hope that
these efforts will help children.
Proper diagnosis and services to
hearing-impaired children will
change lives.
While it doesn’t happen very
often in our area, farmers and
ranchers that have land covered
with non-meandered water will
want to know that some steps are
being taken to protect their rights.
A bill passed the House which restricts the use of motorized vehicles or combustion engines on
private property, even if it is covered by water or frozen water.
These engines cannot be used on a
non-meandered lake within 660
feet of an occupied dwelling,
church, school, or livestock confinement.
County officials will want to
know that the bill that redefined
Ag property with only a $1,000 income provision is going to be
pulled by the sponsors. Their lobbyist told me that they will be satisfied to have the Ag land property
tax task force study the issue this
summer. Several of our Directors
of Equalization expressed concerns about the shift that would
occur in property taxes.
I invite you to contact me with
your questions and concerns on
this or any other topic. I may be
605-685-4241 or
reached at
through email at Sen.Bradford@
state.sd.us

Fellowship of God | Dr. James L. Snyder
Church Ain’t What It
Used to Be
I have been going to church for
more years than I care to remember. I rather like going to church. I
do not go to church because I have
to. I go to church because it is a
wonderful place and it is filled
with wonderful people. Are there
hypocrites in the church? Yes, a
whole lot more.
In the news recently was a
snake handling church in Kentucky. They believe you can pick
up a poisonous snake and if it
bites you, it will not kill you. I
know the Scripture they use for
that, but I am not sure they understand what that Scripture really
means.
The fact that the minister of
that church died from a snakebite
might bring into question the validity of what they believe.
I would not feel comfortable in
that church I am sure.
Then I learned of a church in
Virginia. I have often had a lot of
respect for Virginia and visited
quite a few times. Some great men
and even presidents have come
from the state of Virginia. You can
imagine how alarmed I was to
hear about this new church.
When somebody told me about
it, I thought they were saying it
was a “Knewest church.” I never
heard of such a thing. My question
quite naturally was, what is it that
these people knew. I am constantly
open for any new information so
my curiosity went up.
Then my friend pulled out his
smart phone and showed me a
videotape that was on the news
about this church. It was not a
“Knewest church” but rather a
nudist church.
When I watched it, I laughed
because I believed my friend was
playing a prank on me. There are
stupid people in the world, I
admit, but I think even stupidity
has a limit.
He finally convinced me that
this was a real news story of a real
nudist church in Virginia. Fortunately, the people who produced
this video for the news strategically blurred out certain parts of
the video of which I am everlastingly thankful.
It is a legitimate church and the
motto, according to the pastor, is
that they do not want to judge people by the clothing they are wearing. Really! How about judging
people by the clothing they are not
wearing?

Inspiration Point
The Foundation of Wisdom
Proverbs 9:10 tells us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
The connection between these two concepts may initially be difficult to grasp:
How can fearing God make us wise?
First, we need to understand what it means to fear the Lord. This term is
used to describe an awesome reverence for God that moves us to acknowledge
Him as the sovereign Ruler of heaven and earth, submit to His will, and walk
in obedience. The result of such a response will be the acquisition of wisdom.
For those of us who commit to living for the Father’s purposes rather than
our own, a greater understanding of the Lord starts to develop. The Holy Spirit
will enable us to see circumstances and people from His divine perspective. This
kind of wisdom reaches beyond human perception and gives us discernment to
make decisions that fit into the Lord’s plans for our lives. Knowing that He always works for our best interest, we are empowered to walk confidently through
both good times and bad.
But there are those who reject God’s instructions—they dishonor Him by refusing to acknowledge His right to rule their lives. It’s foolish to rebel against
His authority and think you can win. Fearing God is the only way to know real
wisdom.
What is your attitude toward the Lord? If you truly reverence Him, you will
listen for His directions and heed His warnings. A desire to honor and please
Him will motivate you to turn from evil and seek to live in obedience. And the
result will be wisdom beyond human understanding.

Apart from the sheer ridiculousness of this sort of matter, one
matter truly annoys me. Where do
they keep their offering? On second thought, I do not want to
know.
Then a brilliant idea sloshed its
way through the corridors of my
mind. What if these two congregations had a convention together?
The snake handler’s and the nudist churches get together for an annual convention. Can you imagine
the craziness of such a thing as
that?
Then I got to thinking about it
again. That would be grossly unfair to the snakes. Who in the
world would they bite first? On the
other hand, would they grow legs
and run for the nearest door?
I remembered what Jesus said
to Peter referring to the church.
“And I say also unto thee, That
thou art Peter, and upon this rock
I will build my church; and the
gates of hell shall not prevail
against it” (Matthew 16:18).
The church does not belong to
men or any one man. It belongs exclusively to God. The more
churches look like the world
around it the less pleasing it is to
Jesus, the head of the church.

SDSU Research on Spring
Wheat Seeding Rates
Spring wheat planting season
is approaching, and several growers have indicated intentions of
beginning soon. Seeding rate is a
management decision that is a
critical component toward achieving maximum profitability on your
farming operation (revenue less
seed cost).
With funding from the South
Dakota
Wheat
Commission
(http://www.sdwheat.org/), new
spring wheat seeding rate research has been conducted by
SDSU Agronomists from 20102013 in eastern South Dakota.
This research showed a seeding
rate of 1.2 million pure live seeds
(PLS) per acre maximized yields
in 3 out of 4 years. The 2.3
bushel/acre increase in yield in
2012 would have covered the cost
of increasing the seeding rate from
1.2 to 1.8 million PLS/acre in that
particular year, but averaged over
the last 4 years, profit per acre
was slightly reduced by increasing
seeding rates above the 1.2 million
PLS/acre.
Assuming an average germination of 95% (viable seed) and purity of 99%, the 1.2 million
PLS/acre (28 PLS/ft2) equates to a
1.3 million seeds/acre. During the
study, seed size varied from
12,812 to 26,374 seeds per pound,
which can change the planting
rate from 1.69 bushels to 0.82
bushels per acre, to achieve the
same number of seeds per acre.
SDSU
Seed
Testing
Lab
(http://www.sdstate.edu/ps/seedlab/index.cfm) and other labs offers germination (viable seed),
purity, and seed count services to
help growers achieve their targeted seeding rates. Informal surveys suggest most growers are
currently closer to the 1.5 to 1.8
million PLS/acre seeding rate. The
updated seeding rate recommendations based on this recent study
will leave the previous recommended seeding rates unchanged;
Good seedbed – 1.2 million PLS/A
or 28 PLS/sq ft; Poor seedbed – 1.5
million PLS/A or 35 PLS/sq ft;
Late planting – 1.8 million PLS/A
or 42 PLS/sq ft.
To calculate seeding rate: Bu/A
seeding rate = recommended seeding rate (PLS/A)/% germination/100 x % purity/100 x seeds/lb
x
60
lbs/Bu.
Example:
1,200,000/(0.95 x 0.99 x 16,000 x
60) = 1.3 Bu/A.
Wheat has the ability to flex
components of yield to achieve
equal yield with less plants. In
this study, components of yield
(heads per live seed planted,
heads per square foot, seeds per
head, and seed size) were measured to help explain the adjustments spring wheat plants can
make under a range of plant populations. As seeding rate increased, the number of heads per
live seed planted decreased, and
the number of heads per square
foot were similar at 60-61 heads.
At lower seeding rates, plants increased the number of seeds per
head and produced larger seeds.
In summary, with good seedbed
conditions and normal planting
dates, 1.2 million PLS/acre will
achieve yields equal to that of
higher seeding rates because
spring wheat plants can adjust
yield components with the resources available. Averaged over
the last 4 years, profit per acre
was slightly reduced by increasing
seeding rates above the 1.2 million
PLS/acre.
There is reason to increase
seeding rate however, such as limiting multiple tillers. A higher percentage of main tillers produces
larger heads and shortens the
window of heading and flowering,
allowing more timely heading
time fungicide applications.

this spring wheat seeding rate
study, contact Nathan Mueller

Midwest Coopertives is again
joining with other CHS Country
Operations locations for the
fourth "Harvest for Hunger" food
drive. They will be gathering
funds, food, and grain to help
fight hunger in the local communities. This year's campaign will
be from March 1st to March 20th
2014.
CHS will again be matching
contributions to local charities of
the employee's choice, which
makes your donation help even
more! Feeding South Dakota will
again be the recipient of the
meals collected.
In the past three years our patrons, business partners, friends,
and employees have raised
$119,329 for Feeding South
Dakota which is 596,645 meals
for local families; along with donating $45,441 to the Pierre/Fort
Pierre Food Pantry, providing
227,205 meals. We also have donated funds and food items to the
Hyde County, Wall and Lyman
County Food Pantries.
You can make a big difference
in the lives of many local families!
We hope we can count on your
help again this year. All Midwest
Cooperatives locations will begin
accepting donations of money,
grain or food items on March 1st.
If you have any questions
please contact Bob Fuller at our
Pierre office, 605-224-5935.
For $150, place your ad in 150
South Dakota daily & weekly
papers through the …
Baled residue from CRP ground
will be available in limited quantities. SDDA will coordinate the
donation effort between the CRP
participant and the livestock producer. The recipient will be responsible for expenses and
arrangements associated with
transporting the donated hay.
Extra precautions may need to be
exercised as movability of the hay
is limited.
Producers receiving hay will be
selected by SDDA based on the
number of applications received,
the amount of hay available.
Applications for the program
can be found at http://sdda.sd.gov
or by contacting SDDA. For more
information, contact Jamie Crew
at 605-773-4073.
The South Dakota Department
of Agriculture encourages ranchers from blizzard disaster declared
counties to apply for donated 2013
Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP) mid-term management hay
bales.
Applications are being accepted
until 5:00 p.m. CDT, Friday,
March 21.
USDA’s Farm Service Agency is
allowing producers with 2013
CRP mid-term management hay
to donate the baled residue to
SDDA, rather than destroy it.
All producers in the affected
Atlas blizzard counties are eligible
for the donated hay. Submitting
an application does not guarantee
distribution of hay to your operation.
