Pick up your book for the discussion on Sun- day, April 7 @ 2:00 p.m. at Jackson Co. Library. Emma Jarl was born on a Mel- lette County homestead on April 7, 1914, to Joseph and Anna (Homolka) Petranek. She had three brothers and four sis- ters. She recalled going bare- foot all summer and to school. Then it snowed before school was out. We ran all those miles home and never froze our feet, she said. Emma married Os- wald Jarl, a Swedish im- migrant, on November 14, 1937. They had two children, two grandchil- dren and two great-grand- children. She said it wasnt until after they were married that she became a cowgirl. And at al- most 99 years young, yes, she used a wash board, milked cows, husked corn and worked in the fields back in the days. Emma enjoyed raising chickens and wild birds; she had peacocks, geese, ducks and more. Keeping up the yard and cleaning the swimming pool was also important. Emma said she also worked at a caf in White River for $2 per week. The couple had two daughters. Sonja Ruth went with Jesus the day before her fifth birthday in 1948. Daughter, Sandra Lea went too in De- cember 1998, after four years of fighting cancer. Now Im alone and Jesus is near me to keep me safe here a the nursing home, Emma added. She is a member of the Nazarene Church, taught Sunday school in White River for 40 years and she was the township treasurer for 25 years. When I was a young girl working for Governor Tom Berrys son I cooked for Governor Berry, Emma recalled. In later years she also helped take care of her grandsons hunting lodge. Emma said her favorite meals have been at holiday time and the fam- ily is together; cooking was always her favorite pastime. A special memory that stands out is when her daughter started play- ing the organ at six years old. She was 11 when she started playing at church. Emma and her husband traveled a lot, seeing 20 countries, and enjoy- ing a cruise. Her brother-in-law took them all through northern Europe. They visited Czech Republic where her dad and grandparents lived under the Russian Rule. Africa was interesting, she added. Her husband took some of the family to Sweden for Christmas to visit after 40 years. That is where I learned knitting and have knitted for 60 years, Emma noted. Shes proud that her brother, Ed Petranek, has the Belle Fourche gym and armory named after him. Emmas husband passed away in 1988. After 75 years at the ranch home, Emma moved to the Gateway Apart- ments in Kadoka. In a weeks time she became ill with spinal meningitis, ending up in a two-week coma and then two months in the Kadoka Nursing Home. Following her recovery she went back to her apartment. Emma moved to the nursing home on 11-11-11. Her room is full of craft items shes made. In addition, theres knitted dish cloths and no- slip plastic covered hangers shes knitted. Shes given them away and donated many of them for fundraisers. Emma especially enjoys watching the birds come to her bird feeder outside her nursing home window. Kadoka Nursing Home March Resident of the Month A great accomplishment For more than ten years of planning the new fire hall has been completed. The building was constructed by volunteer members and area residents. The concrete floor was poured by Tines Construction with the help of five members from the Ellsworth Air Force Base, who donated their time. No grants or loans were obtained for the build- ing project and the entire facility was paid for by contracting fire trucks to help fight fires throughout South Dakota. Over 325 people were served at their re- cent pancake supper and plans are being made for a grand opening in the Spring. --photos by Connie Twiss Cowboys & Candlelights The Kadoka High School Rodeo Club will be hosting Cowboys & Candlelights on Saturday, March 16 at Club 27 in Kadoka.

Interior Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue completes new fire hall Spud Creek Rodeo Productions, Dave and Nate Morrison, from In- terior, SD, is bringing an event to Rapid City on Friday, March 15 featuring a high paced, roughstock rodeo of bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, and bull riding fol- lowed with an Aaron Watson con- cert at the Pennington County Events Center. As Nate Morrison explains it, Western South Dakota is very ed- ucated when it comes to rodeo events and they know a good event when they see one, and also know a bad, poorly run event, when they see one. They can tell the difference between good stock and bad stock, good rides and bad rides, and ac- cording to the Western South Dakota Rodeo Fan... they are want- ing something fresh and new with- out all the fluff. Straight up action where the bucking stock and rides do the talk- ing so to speak. We believe we have found the answer to that call. Lim- iting the event to only 10 bareback riders, 10 bronc riders, and 10 bull riders with the top 5 from the event advancing to a championship round, we can present the crowd a high paced, non-stop action night with 45 rides total that can be done within two hours without losing the crowds excitement and atten- tion. By also limiting to 10 per event, I can assure that the stock and riders can be of the highest quality making the fan going home excited about the event. On top of the Rough- stock Rodeo Action the Red Dirt & Roughstock Tour is featuring Aaron Watson in concert imme- diately following the rodeo action. Aaron Wat- son has released 7 #1 Hits on the Texas Music Charts and is a fan fa- vorite in the Red Dirt Texas Music Scene. This will be Watsons first time to ever perform a live show in South Dakota and he is excited about the opportunity. Watsons shows are high energy, straight up Texas country music that everyone will enjoy. The Red Dirt & Roughstock Event in Rapid City will also be featuring some of our local talent as Christy Willert (pictured) from Kadoka will be performing her trick riding skills in between the events as you saw her perform in August during the Badlands Match Bronc Riding event in Kadoka which is also produced by Dave and Nate Morrison. Most all of the stock will be pro- vided from our local area as well in- cluding bucking horses and bulls from the Morrisons, Wilsons, and Walns. Local contestants compet- ing include: BAREBACK: Kenny Feidler (Phillip), Travis Sharp (In- terior), Joe Wilson (Kyle); SAD- DLE BRONC: Louie Brunson (Interior), Jamie Willert (Kadoka), Wyatt Kammerer (Philip), Jace Nelson (Philip), Eric Addison (Belvidere). Our goal is to provide an afford- able night of entertainment that the whole family can enjoy. says Nate Morrison. Tickets can purchased online at www.reddirtroughstock.com and they will also for purchase at the door the day of the event. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. on Fri- day, March 15 at the Events Center with the event kicking off at 7:00 p.m. Bring the whole family! Get ready for rodeo action...

Meals for the Elderly Read Ephesians 6:10-12 Satan does existour broken society testifies to his reality. Those who ignore him do so at their own peril. This is also true of Christians, because we are all at war against him. Spiritual warfare is personal; Satan crafts specific attacks for each individual. Though he cannot steal a believers spirit from God, he can and does harass us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every ambush and frontal attack is meant to defeat our witness so we cant live a victorious Christ-centered life. Our foe is not omniscient, but he is crafty. He observes our strong and weak points to determine the best areas for attack. As soon as his quarry becomes comfortable and least expects trouble, the Adversary springs a trap. Among his most deceptive tactics is hiding behind familiar faces in order to misguide our fury. For example, he may tempt a husband to make an unwise financial decision that angers the wife and leaves her feeling insecure. But the husband is not her enemyhe needs her love and forgiveness. The enemy is always Satan and his legion of demons. The first rule of warfare is to know ones enemy, and thanks to Scripture, we can. The Bible also con- tains an important assurance: Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The combined forces of hell cannot equal the supernatural power of a single believer. We have Christ living within usthe same Christ who was triumphant on the cross and whose final victory over Satan is prophesied in Revelation. Through Him, we can conquer Satan and win our unseen battles.

I am not sure where that came from, and I am not exactly sure what it means. If I cannot eat my cake, whose cake can I eat? I think it all depends on how you present "the cake" in question. One of the things most impor- tant and strongly supervised in our home by the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage has to do with the presence of such food items as cake. At times, I think she is overly obsessed with some diet phenome- non. I, on the other hand, am rather open to the delicacies of such di- etary niceties as cakes. Like I said, there is a way to get around everything. My problem is, how can I have my cake and eat it too? Recently my wife took a week's vacation to New York to visit her relatives. While she was away for that week, I was in charge of our little homestead. Whatever hap- pened, happened because I did it. Whatever didn't happen, didn't happen because I didn't do it. I have a simple rule in life. Do what you like and have fun doing it. My wife's rule in life is, do ex- actly what I tell you and do it now! When she is not present in the home, especially for a weeklong duration, I am the one supervising the rules. And so, during that week my rules ruled. I will not say I had fun during that week, because I would not want that kind of infor- mation to be leaked to certain peo- ple. All during the week, I ate every kind of delicacy I could wrap my lips around. Not one shred of salad could be found in the house during the whole week. Salads were out- lawed, desserts were in order. On the day my wife was sched- uled to return from her New York trip, I had to go to school and pick up one of my granddaughters. She was sick and nobody else was available but Yours Truly. When I picked her up she did not look quite as sick as I would have figured, but who am I to question the wisdom of a school- teacher. We spent the entire after- noon eating lunch at McDonald's, shopping at the Dollar Tree and just having a rip snorting time of our life. If this is sick, may I be sick every day of my life. As a supposedly sick seven- year-old, her energy ran her grandpa firmly into the ground. I am not sure I ever had that much energy. It was great to spend an af- ternoon with one of my grand- daughters. Usually this is the privilege of grandma and so I felt honored to take her place for one afternoon. Towards the end of the after- noon my granddaughter said, "When will grandma get home?" I calculated it and responded by telling her that according to the schedule she should be getting How to have your cake and eat it too home around 6 o'clock. As that in- formation saturated her little brain she then said, "Well, can we have a surprise party for grandma?" Off to the store we went. Things needed for purchasing to put to- gether the surprise welcome home party for grandma. There were cards to purchase. I say cards be- cause she could not choose be- tween two cards and so we decided, or rather I should say, she decided to get both of them. Women start early in life, don't they. There were ribbons to buy and then she saw a nice bouquet of roses. We bought the roses. All this time I was thinking about a special project I had in mind. That special project took the form of a special welcome home cake. I took my granddaughter over to the case where all of the cakes were displayed and invited her to pick out one that suited her. As far as I am concerned, a cake is a cake and my favorite cake is the one I am eating at the time. She picked out a beautiful cake and we went to the checkout counter and paid for our wonderful purchases. Now it was home to set up our little welcome home party for grandma. My granddaughter spent quite a bit of time drawing pictures on the inside of the cards while I paid special attention to how to display the cake. I was sure that grandma, who usually does not approve of cake coming into our home, would not disapprove of this cake if we presented it right. When grandma walked in the door, we yelled "Surprise" and boy was she surprised. Then came the time for us to present the cake and eat it as well. Whoever says you can't have your cake and eat it too needs to sit down and talk with me. I have found a wonderful way of having my cake and eating it too without the sneering disapproval of You Know Who. I like what the Bible says. "There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to es- cape, that ye may be able to bear it" (1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV). God always provides the cake and then invites us to eat it with Him. Family of God Fellowship Rev. James L. Synder Ocala, FL The following students have been named to the dean's list for academic excellence during the Fall 2012 semester at South Dakota State University. To earn dean's list distinctions in SDSU's eight colleges, students must have completed a minimum of 12 credits and must have earned at least a 3.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. Tia Carlson, Kadoka Nicole VanderMay, Long Valley College News I remember one evening a few years back, when a med student was shadowing me as we exam- ined a failing elderly patient in the emergency room (ER). During our evaluation it became clear that the patient really was in the ER be- cause he was slightly confused and emotionally upset, not because of heart disease or pneumonia or the like. After we left the patient's side, the student made a comment that was really quite negative, and I re- alized at that moment a certain sad truth about how we all seem to appreciate people in this society. The student had devalued the in- dividual not only because of the emotional nature of the problem, but partly because of the patient's dementia and even, I dare say, be- cause of his age. What is the value of any individ- ual? It is not hard to appreciate the young talent whose life is be- fore her and it looks rosy indeed. And it is not hard to appreciate the middle-life firefighter who has res- cued many people caught in a treacherous spot. And it is not hard to appreciate the mature col- lege professor whose brilliant lec- tures bring his students to enlightenment. But what is the value of the in- dividual who is losing memory at the end of a full life? What is it that gives value to a person in this society? What will happen when resources of time and money to help care for these people become even more limited? This is not to say that we should pour a large amount of our soci- ety's resources into overextending a dying and suffering elderly pa- tient. However there is no more important principal in the field of medicine than to realize the value of every individual, no matter what medical or psychological problem, no matter what mental capacity, and no matter what age or stage of life.

In case you dont happen to know who Van Cliburn was, lets just say he was about the only classical pi- anist to ever become a household name. This happened back in 1958 when he won the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow and returned home to a ticker-tape pa- rade in New York. He was only 23 at the time. And, to be sure, he was very good. He started taking piano les- son at age three when he was caught at the piano playing some music hed heard his mothers stu- dents play. This would tend to catch a parents attention to have their three-year-old son sit down at the piano and play a recogniza- ble piece. From there, he debuted with the Houston Symphony Or- chestra at age twelve, and played Carnegie Hall at age twenty. At twenty three, he won in Russia. Throughout his life, he performed for all the presidents from Eisen- hower to Obama. He tended to play showy and difficult composi- tions by Russian composers such as Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, and he did it very, very well and with style. One thing I hadnt heard about him until lately was that he had a memory lapse at a concert in Ft. Worth a few years ago that shook him so badly he fainted on stage and had to be given oxygen. I can relate to that. Concert memory lapses are probably feared more by musicians than almost anything else. Just thinking about it makes sweat appear on the forehead. I should know. When I took piano lesson in college, the final grade each semester depended largely on playing three classical pieces by memory in front of several piano professors. This was not a great deal of fun. Nerves tended to play up. I went through this process for eight semesters and luckily always got an A for the term, but it wasnt enjoyable. Even worse was giving a senior piano recital. This wasnt actually required, I dont think, but was strongly encouraged. It involved playing about an hour of classical music by memory in front of music professors, fellow music majors, and friends and relatives. I played pieces by Bach, Beethoven, De- bussy, Liszt and others. My final number was a flashy Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt. In the middle section of the recital, I played a Beethoven sonata that ran to about fifteen minutes all by itself in three movements from fast to slow to very fast. Luckily, it all went okay, but it was a relief to have it over. As you can imagine, learning and memorizing an hour of diffi- cult piano music is no simple thing. I cut down on the other courses I took that semester so I could find enough time to practice, practice, practice. Some people are blessed with a memory that, if they hear things once or twice, they remember them. I am not. I have to work at it. As a result, I seldom put myself through all that trouble anymore and just play from music. Having the printed music in front of me takes the worry out of things enough that I can play before a crowd and not have my stomach tighten up and churn. A lot of people get too nerv- ous to play in public, but, after youve been through a college sen- ior recital, you can probably han- dle it. Unlike Van Cliburn, I was no prodigy. I had some talent, but it had to be brought out by a string of good teachers. Mrs. England started me out in fourth grade, got me going, and gave me an interest in music. When she moved, she talked Elsa Peck into taking me on for several years. During my last years of high school, I took lessons from Veronica Lakstigala who was a concert pianist from Latvia. She had conveniently married the doc- tor in the next town over. In col- lege, I had J. Earl Lee who was a very kind man with a great love for music. I lucked out in teachers and am grateful to them all. Music has been a big part of my life and has given me much joy. As I read recently, CAUTION! Exposure to music may cause sud- den outbursts of joy, happiness, en- ergy, creativity, awareness, & spontaneous healing! Handle at your own risk! That isnt too far off. I did notice when I played for church last Sunday, though, that I probably havent been practicing quite enough of late. You have to keep right at it or youre apt to suf- fer decreases in coordination be- tween eyes, brain, and fingers. Put another way, if you dont practice for one day, you know it. If you dont practice for two days, your friends know it. If you dont prac- tice for three days, the whole world knows it. Guess Id better quit with this for now and get in some practice. Fortunately, I enjoy doing that for the most part so, piano, here I come. The Joy of Music Lookin Around by Syd Iwan Lyle OBryan went to Terry and Chris Baldwins on Friday after- noon to help his granddaughter, Cella Baldwin, celebrate her twelfth birthday. There was cake and ice cream, of course. Also there were Brett and Tammy Prang, George and Lorna Moore, and Jodie OBryan. They all had a good visit. Lyle, like many ranchers, is wondering about the water supply for his cattle this summer. He gen- erally has enough water around the barns, but some of the pastures are iffy. He has rural water in his east pasture and other supplies there, but the west pasture has re- ally only one good dam and then some dry ones. A wet spring would be good. Chanel Romero also celebrated a birthday this week, namely her second. Her mom, Charlene Romero, said her two children also got to visit their grandmother, Jane Romero, in Kadoka one day last week while their folks ran around doing errands. Charlene Ceniceros was in Midland this weekend help- ing Will Schofield with various things and spending time with him. Eric and Pam Osborn were in Belvidere on Sunday afternoon playing rummy with Greg Badure. Greg won. Dana wasnt home at the time since she was in Kadoka working at Discount Fuel. The cards were played only after Eric and Pam cut some wood and hauled it back to their house. A week ago Sunday, Wib Osborn vis- ited Eric and Pam and played some cribbage with them after dinner. Pam said playing actual cards in- stead of playing them on the com- puter has some advantages. You can interact and visit with other people, accuse them of cheating, etc. Chuck and Merry Willard had their daughter, Niki Kleinsasser, and boys home for the weekend. On Sunday, Merry and Niki were at- tempting to highlight Nikis hair by pulling some of it through a cap and coloring that. Chuck said it was tricky and didnt go well at first. He said his hair was already highlighted naturally with some gray so he didnt have to do any- thing more to it. Chuck and Merry were in Philip a couple days last week visiting Chucks mom, Pat Willard. Pat is trying to get ready to move from her apartment at the Senechal to the Silver Leaf As- sisted Living. This involves pack- ing, giving stuff away and so on. Pat hopes to make the move later this week. Her daughters and other relatives are planning to come help. It appears to be sort of a fam- ily reunion in the making. Michelle and Tyrel Mansfield went to Rapid City after school on Thursday and visited Michelles folks until Saturday. On Sunday, Tyrel got to church in Belvidere with his grandma, Fayola Mans- field. Marie Addison was visited in Murdo last week by her grandson and great grandson, John and Koye Addison. Marie said she has a bookcase at her apartment that is of considerable interest to Koye. It holds various pictures and knick- knacks. Koye takes particular in- terest in the Danish boat that looks like it would be fun to play with, but he hasnt yet tried to get at it. Marie said she is expecting the ar- rival of at least four new great grandchildren in the coming year, and some fairly soon. According to Larry Grimme, there are about 25 cats that like to sit on the Cadillac by his house. He isnt sure why. Perhaps it is be- cause the cats arent very good readers and think its a Catillac. Jim Addison said there are only 30 days left in the girls basketball season. Until then, Georgann and he are likely to get in some more bleacher time watching daughter Jami play. Jim also said his son, Royal, has recently moved closer. He has been going to college at Spearfish, but has now bought some cows and is taking care of them over between Norris and Long Valley at the Steve and Shiv- aun Williams place. Royal studied criminal justice at Spearfish with a view towards being a police or pa- role officer. He actually has only three credits to finish before he gets his degree but hopes to do that over the Internet instead of at Spearfish. Plans after that are un- certain. Feelings are everywhere. Be gentle. Capsule Sermons The Norris School gymnasium was overflowing with feelings a good share of last week. The wake for Christine Dunham was there Monday and Tuesday, and the fu- neral was held Wednesday, with standing room only. The gym was lined with quilts, floral arrange- ments, tributes, momentos, pic- tures and cakes. Friends and relatives came from all over the state and places beyond. After the burial, many returned to the audi- torium for a meal and a give away. The Womens Club held their party for the White River senior girls Monday, March 4 in White River.

Maxine Allard rode in with June Ring Monday afternoon for the wake for Christine Dunham. Daughter Sharon came from Spearfish on Tuesday and they were in Norris for the wake in the afternoon and evening, and again for the funeral all day Wednesday. Maxine and June shared a lunch- eon at Maxines Friday. Dan Taft was in Martin for phys- ical therapy Tuesday and on Wednesday he attended Christine Dunhams funeral. After the fu- neral, Dan, Morgan and Heather took Samanthas car to Philip to be worked on, and brought Susans car home after it was repaired. They also took the dog to the vet for shots. Susan worked in the post of- fice in Wanblee a couple days last week. Dan was back in Martin for another therapy session Friday. Saturday afternoon Susan and Morgan visited Nette and Howard Heinert. Gale and JoAnn Letellier were happy to have the complete Dave Letellier family visit this past weekend. This is the first time since Christmas that all the chil- dren were able to be there. Anna is in her fourth year at Black Hills, and presently is doing her student teaching at the Belle Fourche Mid- dle School. Cooper is in his first year of college at Casper.

Over 100 attendees listened to business reports, witnessed a re- gional sales award presentation to a local employee, were eligible for various door prizes and partici- pated in the supper prepared and served by the United Church Women. Of the reports of the company profits and expansion, the local site of Philip showed a net income for fiscal year 2012 of $1,604,390. The Kadoka site showed a net profit of $286,379. Both Philip and Kadoka had outstanding years, announced CHS General Manager Milt Hand- cock. All in all, thats economic stimulus that hits home. Cash re- turns to patrons were $48.1 million in the state of South Dakota. The CHS fiscal year ends on August 31. Explaining some of the com- panys overall profit, CHS board member Randy Hague said, We buy our oil at a cheaper price. He related that most of CHS oil comes from Canada, rather from other more distant and politically diver- gent sources. Hague reported that the CHS is still going ahead with construction plans for a huge nitro- gen fertilizer plant in North Dakota. It will be the biggest such project in CHS and North Ameri- can history. We think its essential to our future, said Hague. The Midwest Cooperative finan- cial summary for 2012 was up on grain margins, merchandise mar- gins, service and other income mar- gins, merchandise sales and patronage refund. It was down on grain bushels/units volume, and up on total expenses. The total net in- come was $6,478,115, down almost $1,158,500 from 2011. Top sales performer for the en- tire CHS Midwest Region was Philips Darwin Hellekson. The Midwest Region consists of nine de- fined business units totaling 71 lo- cations within a four-state area; southwest Minnesota, northeast Nebraska, southwest North Dakota and all of South Dakota. The Midwest Region handles a large variety of product, including but not limited to energy, grain, feed, agronomy. Ed Mallett, vice president of the Midwest Region, presented the certificate to Hellek- son, who has been with the Philip Midwest Co-op for nine years. Jay Baxter, Philip and Kadoka site manager, was out of state for ongoing training during the annual meeting. He later said, What an- other great year for both Midwest Cooperatives and our parent com- pany, CHS Inc. As Im sure was stated at the annual meeting, this success is attributed to both pa- trons and employees of our cooper- ative system. Midwest Co-op annual meeting held in Philip Midwest Co-op Milt Handcock general manager, board mem- bers Vic Fosheim, Mitch Norman, Randy Hague, Ken Miller, Burjes Fitch and Brandon Rock.

The Stronger Economies To- gether (SET) program is designed to help rural communities/counties to work together as a regional team in developing and implementing an economic development blueprint that builds on the current and emerging economic strengths of their region. Currently two regions in South Dakota are working in the SET program with USDA Rural Development and SDSU Extension the James River Valley Region, and the Badlands/Bad River Re- gion. Seven states are participat- ing in this third round of SET funding, which allows for two years of education and technical assis- tance to the regional team. The Badlands/Bad River partic- ipating counties include: Haakon, Jackson, and Eastern Pennington. The group has met three times, and will meet for Session #4 this Tuesday night, March 12, in Mid- land at the Open Bible Church. The gathering will begin with an option city tour, including the Lava Water Hotel, under new manage- ment. Tours will leave starting at 4:15 p.m. from the church Fellow- ship Hall, followed by a supper at 5:15 p.m. The session will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. and end at 8:30 p.m. Everyone wishing to par- ticipate is welcome. Please meet at the Open Bible Fellowship Hall, one block north of the bank, to get started. Beth Flom, representing Mid- land on the team says, As we work together as a team, we are discov- ering available assets and barriers in our region. The March 12 SET session will focus on developing a vision and measureable goals for economic de- velopment in the region. The group is still open to new partici- pants. Contributions from business owners and professionals, parents, educators, healthcare staff, farm- ers and ranchers, elected officials, and service providers would be wel- come. Anyone from youth to senior citizens are encouraged to consider becoming involved. This process will shape the region citizens want to develop for the future.

HB 1123 increases the sur- charge on hunting licenses by a dol- lar to be used for predator control. HB 1167 restructures the policy advisory committee for animal damage control. HB 1168 allows local predator control districts to increase the as- sessments on producers for preda- tor control if the increases are approved by a majority of the pro- ducers in the district.

Well, March 8 is the last day of the 2013 legislative session, with March 25 set as Veto Day when leg- islators go back to Pierre to decide if we want to override any of the governors vetoes. These bills passed the House this week: SB 151 clarifies the mainte- nance responsibilities on unim- proved section lines. SB 205 put wolves on the preda- tor list. It wont apply to the west- ern Dakotas until the feds remove them from the endangered species list, which theyve promised to do this month. SB1 Revises the provisions re- garding plugging and performance bonds for oil and gas wells and to repeal the supplemental restora- tion bond requirement. This is an- other of the bills that came out of our Oil and Gas Development Com- mittee summer study. SB 83 designates Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day as a working holiday. I had my seat- mate, Rep. Brock Greenfield, read a tribute to my brother Sam Marty, who is a decorated Vietnam Vet- eran. There were several Vietnam Vets in the gallery for the commem- oration. SB 89 limits the liability of retail dealers in petroleum products under certain conditions. This will allow west river gas stations to legally sell 85 Octane like theyve been doing for the last 60 years. SB 227 will allow you to legally carry a concealed weapon on your snowmobile. SB 6 determines whether factors affecting productivity should be ap- plied if the actual use of agricul- tural land does not correspond to the soil classification standards. SB 115 increases the commercial From Representative Liz May a visitors center in Custer State Park, and expand the Mickelson Trail in the Black Hills. Altogether, departments are asking to expand over 100 positions in state govern- ment. There are still millions of dollars in requests to the General Fund for railroads, the demolition old buildings at the Human Serv- ices Center, expansion of a cyber- security program, ag experiment stations, or dollars to help counties with roads if new ag development occurs. This is merely a short list of the requests. Its challenging to keep priorities in order when many proposals for new spending seem worthy. Accurately figuring income is just as important. Last years over- estimation of expenses led us to a $47 million budget surplus for the year which ended in June of 2012. Those in the majority seem deter- mined to leave that, along with the FY13 and FY14 surpluses, in re- serves at this point. That $47 mil- lion would have been of great assistance to schools and nursing homes. In addition to our General Fund expenses (our states check book) we have about $1 billion in Trust Funds (our states savings ac- counts). Each legislator likely starts the Session with hopes and expecta- tions as to how they may play a role in improving our great state through the legislative process. As a legislator with many years of ex- perience, Ive seen this process played out many times over the years. This will be a critical time to keep our priorities straight and make the right budget choices for District 27 and for all of South Dakota. I invite you to contact me with your questions and concerns on these topics or any of interest to you. I may be reached at 605-685- 4241 or Sen.Bradford@state.sd.us The 2013 Legislative Session is rapidly coming to a close. Tuesday, March is the last day for bills or resolutions to pass both houses. March 6 -8 are reserved for concur- rence or conference committees to iron out differences on certain pieces of legislation which occurred between the two legislative bodies. For example, if amendments are made in the Senate which changes the original bill as it was passed in the House, it will need to be re- ferred to a conference committee to work out the differences. While there were around 600 bills and resolutions filed this Ses- sion, typically just a fraction of those will actually become law. One of the most important functions of the last week of Session is the ap- proval of the General Appropria- tions Bill which according to Statute shall EMBRACE NOTH- ING BUT APPROPRIATIONS FOR ORDINARY EXPENSES OF THE EXECUTIVE, LEGISLA- TIVE AND JUDICIAL DEPART- MENTS OF THE STATE, THE CURRENT EXPENSES OF STATE INSTITUTIONS, INTER- EST ON THE PUBLIC DEBT, AND FOR COMMON SCHOOLS. Any other appropriations are to be made by separate bills for spe- cial spending. Whether such ex- penses are deemed general or special appropriations, all must pass by a two-third vote to become law. Providing adequate funding to our schools and community health care providers has remained a top priority throughout the Session. As the General Appropriations Bill is fine-tuned, now at the very end of this Session, it is our last opportu- nity to advocate for spending on these priorities. Among the many spending projects still being consid- ered are requests to develop the new Blood Run state park, build From Senator Jim Bradford Washington has had more than a year to prepare for the across- the-board spending cuts known as the sequester. For months, Con- gressional Republicans have been warning of the effects that these cuts could have on our national se- curity. What few people realize is the sequester was actually President Obamas idea. The president pro- posed sequestration and insisted it become law. For months now I have been attempting to get the White House to comply with, and provide key details about the sequesters impacts after the president signed into law, my Sequestration Trans- parency Act. This bill required the administration to provide a de- tailed plan to the American people on the impacts of the sequester by September of 2012, nearly six months ago. After ignoring the law and failing to plan for the se- questers impact, the White House conveniently waited until the eleventh hour to issue media prop- aganda on the potential state-by- state impacts of the sequester. After releasing these reports and traveling on a 5,000 mile cam- paign-style road show ginning up fear about the calamitous effects of the sequester, the president and his allies would have you believe that the only way we could prevent these across-the-board cuts is by once again raising taxes on hard- working Americans. While I believe there are better ways than these across-the-board cuts to reduce fed- eral spending, tax increases are not the answer and I think it is impor- tant to put the sequester into per- spective. Not only has the federal government had four straight years of trillion dollar-plus deficits, but federal spending has also in- creased by nearly 20 percent since 2008. It seems to me that Washing- ton should be able to absorb a 2.4 percent spending reduction to the overall $3.6 trillion budget in a smart and efficient manner. In fact, 2.4 percent, or about $85 billion, is the amount of money the federal government borrows every 28 days. Even with the sequester, federal spending is projected to increase over last year. I understand that certain pro- grams important to many South Dakotans will be affected by se- questration. Again, I prefer to find alternative savings to replace the sequester, or at the very least, sup- ported providing the administra- tion with some flexibility to implement the sequester in a more targeted way. House Republicans twice voted to replace the sequester with targeted, alternative savings. In the Senate, I supported biparti- san legislation ensuring that prior- ities vital to our national security were protected from the presidents sequester by instead targeting waste, fraud, and inefficiencies across the federal government. However, the president and his congressional allies have demon- strated that they are not interested in making smart, targeted reforms or flexibility to implement the se- quester, but instead are playing politics to ensure that when the cuts are enacted they can continue their attempts to dodge responsi- bility. Rather than raiding taxpayers wallets to pay for wasteful govern- ment spending by imposing higher taxes, which the president contin- ues to demand, we ought to be look- ing for ways to stop wasting taxpayer dollars and reduce gov- ernment spending in a targeted way. It is time for Congress to start making spending reforms that grow the economy and create jobs. Lackluster Presidential Leadership on Sequestration By Sen. John Thune People across South Dakota turn to books for entertainment, knowledge and relaxation after a long day and the Noem family is no different. Ever since my three kids were young, weve made it a prior- ity to spend time reading as a fam- ily. Its been a real blessing to see my kids grow up and learn to enjoy reading on their own. I also try to make reading a priority in my life. Although schedules can be busy, theres something to be said about enjoying a good book from time-to- time. Ill be celebrating this years Read Across America Day by reading a few books to second graders at McKinley Elementary School in Watertown. Last year I enjoyed participating in this event while reading to students in ele- mentary classrooms in Hayti and Brookings. I also spent time in Madison that day for part of their Pride Days celebration. An event held across the coun- try, Read Across America is held in honor of Theodor Geisel, but most of us know him as Dr. Seuss. Themes from Oh, the Places Youll Go! and Are You My Mother? bond grandparents with grandkids, and teachers with students. There are ways we can all en- courage children to pick up a book instead of watching another show on television. For example, we can set a good example by making reading a priority in our own lives or by taking field trips to the local library. Its also important to keep lots of books and magazines around the house for kids to pick up and start reading. Read Across America Day started on March 2, 1998 as an an- nual event to raise awareness about encouraging our young stu- dents to pick up a book and read. When kids are eager and excited to read, this sets up an attitude and excitement towards lifelong learn- ing and starts a path towards suc- cess as they go through school. As Dr. Seuss so wisely wrote, You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. Youre on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one wholl decide where to go. I hope youll join me in participating in Read Across America Day.

Celebrating Read Across America Day By Rep. Kristi Noem Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) is currently seeking intelligent, hard- working college students to serve as interns in his office in Washing- ton, D.C., as well as in his offices in Aberdeen, Rapid City, and Sioux Falls. Interns in Senator Thunes state offices will participate in con- stituent service and state outreach activities, while students in the Washington, D.C. office will have the opportunity to witness the leg- islative process, give Capitol tours, and attend Senate votes and hear- ings. Both in-state and Washing- ton, D.C. internships will allow students to work closely with con- stituents, hone their research and writing skills, and learn a multi- tude of valuable office skills. Interning in a Senate office pro- vides students with an excellent opportunity to experience democ- racy in action, said Thune. In- terns gain valuable knowledge about both state and national is- sues and an understanding of the inner workings of a Senate office. I encourage all students to consider applying for this rewarding experi- ence. Senator Thune is a member of the Senate Committees on Agricul- ture, Nutrition, and Forestry; Com- merce, Science, and Transportation; and Finance.

Providing reliable, affordable electricity is essential to rural job creation, said John Padalino, act- ing United States Department of Agriculture rural utilities adminis- trator.Padalino. Upgrading rural infrastructure sets the stage for economic development. The announcement includes sup- port for more than $8 million in smart grid technologies, which help utilities make efficiency improve- ments to the electric grid and help consumers lower their electric bills by reducing energy use in homes and businesses. In South Dakota, two utilities were selected for funding: West Central Electric Coopera- tive, Inc. based in Murdo has plans to use $10.125 million loan to build 46 miles of distribution line, 14 miles of transmission line and make other system improvements. The loan includes $314,487 in smart grid projects. Northern Electric Cooperative based in Bath has plans to use a $20.3 million loan guarantee to build 303 miles of distribution line and make other system improve- ments. The loan includes $902,512 in smart grid projects. Funding to improve rural electric service "Look Beyond" is the theme for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 2013. The South Dakota Council on Developmental Disabilities, South Dakota Advocacy Services and the Center for Disabilities at the USD Sanford School of Medicine and other organizations celebrate Intel- lectual and Developmental Disabil- ities Awareness Month in March, and invite you to consider the true meaning of this years theme, Look Beyond. Statewide, and across the na- tion, organizations devoted to serv- ing people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are planning special events in March to raise public awareness of the many abilities people have, regard- less of disability. Look Beyond en- courages people to understand that when people with disabilities are welcomed into local neighborhoods, workplaces, houses of worship, and schools everyone wins. "This is a time when our organizations focus on encouraging the public to better understand the people we serve," said Arlene Poncelet, Executive Di- rector for the South Dakota Coun- cil on Developmental Disabilities. During Intellectual and Devel- opmental Disabilities Awareness Month, we encourage people to learn more about the 6,000 people in this state who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and to recognize that all of us have tal- ents and abilities that we can offer to make this a better place to live. During March, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Aware- ness Month, get acquainted with someone who has an intellectual or developmental disability. Youll learn that everyone has something to offer and that and when we are all together our communities are stronger, we accomplish more, and everyone wins!

Jackie Stilwell, Emergency Manager, met with the board. The S. D. Office of Emergency Manage- ment notified Local Emergency Planning Committees of 2012/2013 HMEP Plan- ning Grants. Jackie Stilwell reported that Paul Thomp- son, Lawrence Co. Emergency Manager, has again requested GIS files from west river counties. Mr. Thompson is a mem- ber of the West River IMAT team, and would use the files should an incident arise. The board instructed that a letter be drawn up authorizing Paul Thompson to obtain the Jackson County GIS files. Discussion was held on 911 addressing currently being done on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The board inspected the window in- stalled in the Register of Deeds office in 2012. The board instructed that the con- tractor be contacted as air is leaking in around the window. At 4:44 p.m., Twiss moved, Denke sec- onded, that the board go into executive session. Brad Stone, Director of Equal- ization was present. The board came out of executive session at 5:44 p.m. Discussion was held on a proposed form to be sent to property owners for reporting new construction and improvements. No action was taken at this time. There being no further business to come before the board, Denke moved, John- ston seconded, that the meeting be ad- journed, and that the board meet in regular session at 9:00 a.m., March 11, 2013.

Call 6058372259 Fertilizing Grass As has been the case following droughts in the past, many live- stock producers are short of feed. While there is a long list of poten- tial, annual forage crops that could be planted to help alleviate this shortage, there are no magic fixes. There is another solution that may make more sense to some produc- ers, fertilize the grass that you al- ready have. Perennial grass is a great scav- enger, and hay land typically has little available soil N even after relatively large N applications. Unless hay land has been fertil- ized routinely, Phosphorus soil test levels are typically low in western SD, particularly on hillsides and hilltops. In the spring of 2003, a field ex- periment was established on a long-term intermediate wheat- grass field in western Jones County. The objectives of this study were: 1. Determine yield re- sponse at varying levels of both Ni- trogen and Phosphorus compared to unfertilized grass, 2. Evaluate the effect on nutrient content of harvested grass due to fertilization levels, and 3. Evaluate cost effec- tiveness of various fertilization rates. The field where the plot was es- tablished was in the CRP for a number of years, mostly interme- diate wheatgrass with a small amount of alfalfa. No fertilizer had been applied to the field for several years prior to beginning the study. A soil test (0-6 inches) for the plot area indicated the Phosphorus level using the Olsen test was 3 ppm, which is very low. Rainfall from April through June was slightly above the long-term aver- ages, with about 2 over normal oc- curring during April. Applied fertilizer P increased yield, but was not significant until the 60 Lb/A rate. Fertilizer Nitro- gen rates of 30, 60 and 90 Lbs/A all resulted in significant yield in- creases over the untreated check. Added N initially reduced forage crude protein levels due to in- creased yield and dilution, where the 90 lb N rate increased crude protein over the check. Consider- ing all costs at current levels, and assuming hay value at both $150/ton and $200/ton, all N fertil- izer treatments were profitable, both compared to the unfertilized check, and to the next lower rate. The Nitrogen trial was repeated on a new site in the same field in 2004. Rainfall was below the long- term average. Although yields were much lower than the 2003 trial, all Nitrogen rates again pro- duced significantly higher yields than the unfertilized check. As- suming costs at current levels and hay value at $200/ton, the 30 and 60 Lb/A rates of Nitrogen applica- tion were profitable over the unfer- tilized check, but the 90 Lb/A Nitrogen rate lost money. Assum- ing a hay value of $150/ton, all of the Nitrogen application rates lost money. The bottom line is that fertiliz- ing tame grass with Nitrogen can produce dramatic results, and be profitable, but precipitation ade- quate for good grass growth is cru- cial. For more information or to receive a copy of the plot results, contact Bob Fanning at the Win- ner Regional Extension Center, 605-842-1267, robert.fanning@sd- state.edu. Winner Regional Extension Center Bob Fanning, Plant Pathology Field Specialist 605-842-1267 Winter is here and it is time to think about maintaining horses through the winter, says Rebecca Bott, SDSU Ext. Equine Specialist. "As the temperature drops, and wind chill and moisture increase, the grocery requirement of a horse to maintain a body condition score (BCS) of 5-6 will increase," Bott said. Horses are typically hardy ani- mals who can withstand cold tem- peratures, wind chill, and moisture (snow or rain). However, if two or more of these factors happen at the same time, it increases the chal- lenge of them maintaining body heat and condition. She encourages horse owners to assess their horses BCS frequently throughout the winter. "It is much easier to maintain BCS, than to catch up if condition has been lost," she said. "This is es- pecially difficult in the winter and for growing, gestating, lactating, and hard working animals that al- ready have higher nutritional re- quirements than adult horses at maintenance." Feeding in the Winter Horses ferment fibrous feeds in their hindgut, explains Bott. The process of fermentation creates heat. Thus, feeding roughages to horses helps warm them from the inside out. "As temperature drops, horses require more feed to maintain themselves at their current state," she said. "Roughage is the number one go-to feed source for this be- cause it provides gut fill, and more heat than other feeds during the di- gestive process." She adds that grain can also be used as a supplement to provide extra energy during the winter. Because horses don't adjust well to sudden changes in the diet, Bott says horse owners shouldn't pile on extra grain in one day just because the temperatures drop. "Look at longer term weather forecasts and make slow changes in diets that seem appropriate for the weather," she said.

Water Water is just as critical for horses in the winter as any other time. Water helps keep things moist and moving in the digestive tract. Without water, or with re- duced intake, a horse is put at risk for colic. Break the ice off of all water sources twice a day or as needed so horses can drink. Cold water is much less enticing than warm water during the winter. Horses are likely to consume more water if water tanks are heated. Additional Methods for Maintaining Warmth Feeding roughage is one important method for helping horses to stay warm in the winter. Horses can also be stalled in barns (provided there is adequate ventilation). Blanketing horses is another op- tion. Be sure to select a blanket that fits properly, and secure all straps. If horses live outside, select a blanket that is water proof. With blanketing comes management. Check horses regularly to make sure moisture isn't getting under the blanket. Be judicious removing blankets when the day warms so sweat doesn't build up and cause a chill. Run in sheds, and simple wind blocks are also excellent measures for protecting horses from cold. Feeding horses in the winter: Relationship between temperature, wind chill, moisture and groceries Winter 2013 may provide some challenges that ranchers have not faced in the recent past, and man- aging winter feeding costs is among them, says Adele Harty, SDSU Ex- tension Cow/Calf Field Specialist. "However, proper winter feeding is important to profitable cow-calf production. To develop an effective feeding program, there are some things to evaluate prior to purchas- ing feeds," Harty said. Below is a checklist of questions producers need to consider, along with links to online articles, which Harty provides to help cattle pro- ducers develop the best winter ra- tions for their operation: What are the primary forage sources? Has that forage been tested for quality? If not, take representative samples for analysis. http://igrow.org/up/resources/02- 1002-2012.pdf What body condition http://igrow.org/up/resources/02- 1004-2012.pdf are the cows in? Does body condition need to in- crease or maintain? http://igrow.org/livestock/beef/un- derstanding-the-importance-of- your-herds-energy-reserves/ What are the cow's require- ments based on body condition and stage of production? http://igrow.org/up/resources/02- 2014-2012.pdf Does the forage require addi- tional nutrients (protein, energy, minerals, and vitamins) to meet re- quirements? If yes, what feed options are available as sources of needed nu- trients? Determine availability of alternatives, as well as feed deliv- ery equipment needs and availabil- ity. Evaluate feedstuff options on a cost/unit of nutrient basis to deter- mine the least cost option.http://igrow.org/livestock/be ef/feedstuff-cost-comparison/ Select the option(s) that meet the cow's requirements at the least cost for the operation. Determine quantity needed and purchase additional feed.
