Kadoka Nursing Home 

Resident of the Month 

Kate DeVries 

has been selected 

as Kadoka Nursing 

Home Resident 

of the 

Month. 

Kate was born 

September 9, 

1928 in Kadoka, 

S.D., to Harry 

and Mary Boekman. 

Kate’s two 

sisters are Anna 

Mae Kimball and 

Thelma Sogge. 

She attended 

Kadoka School 

from first grade 

to third grade. 

She then transferred 

to the 

Belvidere School 

and attended 

school there from 

fourth grade through high school. 

Kate married Fred “Fritz” DeVries on October 29, 1950. He later 

passed away in 1989. They had two children Donald “Don” and 

RuthAnn, eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. 

Kate has spent her entire life in the Kadoka and Belvidere area except 

for four years in Chamberlain working at the telephone company. 

She has been a member of the Belvidere Community, South Dakota 

Cattlewomen, Royal Neighbors and United Presbyterian Women 

(Ladies Aide). 

Kate kept busy with many different activities. For several years 

she wrote the yearly newsletter for Belvidere Alumni, the Belvidere 

news for the Kadoka Press and the weekly newsletter for Belvidere 

Church. 

Kate was also a Sunday school teacher. She cooked for Rodeo Bible 

Camp and she enjoyed bowling. 

She has fond memories of hosting all holiday dinners for both sides 

of her family for many years. As a family, they attended the South 

Dakota State Fair each year. 

Some special times Kate shared were of attending the South 

Dakota Stockgrowers conventions along with the Willerts. During 

these trips they took in the Corn Palace activities each year. 

Kate loves to visit and her smiling face is such an enjoyment to the 

staff and residents. She is a very kind and caring person, but also 

stands strong in her beliefs. 

We would like to congratulate Kate on being chosen Kadoka Nursing 

Home resident of the month. 

Range and soil knowledge gained at event, Kadoka 

will host 2013 Rangeland Days June 25 and 26 

--by Nancy Haigh 

“The purpose of rangeland judging 

is to provide an understanding 

of rangeland resources and a sense 

of stewardship in natural resource 

management,” noted Dave Ollila 

on a South Dakota State Univeristy 

iGrow Web page. 

The 30th annual Rangeland 

Days and ninth annual Soil Days 

is set for June 25 and 26 at 

Kadoka. Youth between the ages of 

eight and 18, as well as adults, will 

test their rangeland knowledge 

during the two days. Youth are broken 

up into four groups, based 

upon their ages. Learning activities 

are designed for a variety of age 

groups and expertise – starting 

with plant morphology and identification 

on up to judging habitat 

suitability for cattle or grouse. 

The first day is spent on the 

prairie, learning about the properties 

of rangeland resources and 

management practices to employ. 

The second day the youth and 

adults apply this newly found 

knowledge through scenarios created 

in a contest format. 

In addition, students have the 

opportunity to compete in categories 

including informative displays 

about rangeland, exhibiting 

student developed range plant collections 

and a speech contest on 

range related topics. The student 

participant with the highest cumulative 

score in each age division 

will be award a “Top Hand” belt 

buckle. 

The age divisons break out as follows: 

New Rangers – eight to 10 

year olds, Wranglers – 11-13 year 

olds, Scouts –14-18 year olds with 

no previous range judging experience 

and Go-Gettters 14-18 year 

olds who have previous range evaluation 

experience. 

The participants in 14-18 year 

old (high school youth forum) 

speech contest will be competing 

KCBA holds meeting at Club 27 

--by Rhonda Antonsen 

The KCBA held their monthly 

meeting on Thursday, June 6 at 

Club 27. The meeting was called to 

order at 6:30 p.m. The treasures report 

and bills for Traveler Magazine, 

Kadoka Press, music calendar 

and Lamar signs were presented 

and approved. 

There was discussion about having 

quarterly meetings at Club 27 

and the times of the meetings. The 

meeting times will need to be corrected 

on the music calendar to reflect 

the times of the quarterly 

meetings in the evening. 

Old business began with the discussion 

of the 4-H horse show that 

will be held June 20. Jackie Stilwell 

and Belinda Mitchell will help 

Lauri Fugate with the lunch. Due 

to some issues in the past, lunch 

will need to begin promptly at 

noon. 

Brochures of Kadoka are currently 

being updated. 

Reunion weekend activities 

were discussed. Patty Ulmen 

stated there will be a 5K run/2 mile 

walk and bake organized by Keena 

Moro. This will be a benefit for the 

Kadoka Nursing Home. 

There will be a firemen’s feed for 

lunch on Saturday. Other Saturday 

activities include the ranch rodeo. 

Ryan Willert said calcutta will 

begin at 1:00 p.m. and the rodeo 

will begin at 2:00 p.m. at the arena. 

The Cash Mob/Business of the 

Month was discussed. Patty 

handed out copies of a schedule of 

the businesses to be mobbed and 

highlighted over the coming 

months. Kadoka Gas and Go was 

the business cash mobbed in May. 

Lauri Fugate talked about how it 

went over. She said there was only 

one extra person there. She also 

stated that noon was not the best 

time to hold the mob. The next cash 

mob will be held at Petrified Gardens. 

Bill Fugate will be in contact 

with Sarah VanderMay or Mitchell 

to let them know when Petrified 

Gardens would like to schedule the 

cash mob. 

Kenny and Cindy Wilmarth attended 

the Lit Swap. Cindy said 

they took up three cases of 

brochures and brought back one. 

In other discussion, invitations 

need to be sent out to the new business 

inviting them to join KCBA. 

Fromm’s Hardware and Plumbing 

and Coffee Cabin are two new businesses 

in town. 

Rusty Olney brought up sending 

a welcome gift out to new businesses. 

In the past there were flowers 

or a plant sent to new 

businesses in town. There was 

some discussion about cost. Discussion 

will continue at a later date. 

New business discussion began 

with the liability insurance that is 

due. This bill needs to be approved 

before the next meeting so it can be 

paid promptly. The cost of the insurance 

has increased $25. It was 

approved to pay. 

The subject of the condition of 

the signs that direct visitors to 

Main Street was brought up. Discussion 

was held dealing with fixing 

the signs and the visibility. 

Lauri will get an estimate on what 

a new vinyl would cost. 

Lonny Johnston asked what was 

found out about the solar panels 

that could be used for lighting 

signs along interstate. Lauri said 

she would check on these. 

The question was asked if anyone 

has seen the new sign located 

near Mitchell. Rusty Olney said he 

had and stated they did a good job 

on the sign, and it looks nice. 

Rusty went on to talk about having 

economic development give an 

update at the quarterly meetings. 

He gave an update on what has 

been happening with the economic 

development. They have already 

received the first payment back for 

the loan they approved. He also 

stated they have applied for an additional 

$100,000. Rusty said they 

are currently working on securing 

additional funds. 

Rusty went on to explain the 

process of applying for a loan and 

what is included in the entire loan 

process. There is a separate loan 

board that handles the loans. The 

board consists of people who have 

had or currently have experience in 

the banking and loan business. 

Discussion on what the loan rate 

is and if there are any stipulations 

as to when economic development 

can loan money they have collected 

from loan payments made. 

Lauri asked is anyone has been 

able to attend the Stronger 

Economies Together (SET) meetings. 

June 11 is the next meeting in 

Wall. 

There was talk of having Horizon’s 

come to the quarterly meetings 

and give updates on their 

organization. 

Due to the July 4 holiday, the 

next KCBA meeting will be at 

H&H on July 8 at noon.

Youth from across South Dakota took part in the 2012 Rangeland Days and Soil 

Days near Philip.

for the privilege to represent South 

Dakota at the International Society 

for Range Management Convention 

to be held in Orlando, Fla., in 

February 2014. All travel expenses 

for the student will be sponsored by 

S.D. Rangeland Days and the 

South Dakota Section of the Society 

for Range Management. 

The top placing 4-H range team 

and 4-H soil team will represent 

South Dakota at the National 

Range and Land judging contest in 

Oklahoma City, Okla., the first 

week of May 2014. 

The Livestock Industry Trust 

Fund, through the state 4-H organization, 

sponsors a significant portion 

of the travel costs for these 

students to attend. 

“Rangeland is a kind of land, not 

a land use. Rangeland is fragile, 

yet durable and resilient. Management 

profoundly impacts the similarity 

index, a measure of rangeland 

condition that reflects its 

value for livestock, wildlife and humans. 

The purpose of rangeland 

judging is to provide an understanding 

of rangeland resources 

and a sense of stewardship in natural 

resource management,” said 

Ollila, an Extension sheep specialist 

and technical contributor in organizing 

the Rangeland Days 

event. 

Available on the Internet at 

http://igrow.org/up/resources/07- 

2001-2012.pdf is a digital version 

of the “Judging South Dakota 

Rangelands for Livestock and 

Wildlife Values manual.” “This 

manual describes a contest with 

components that have a strong biological 

basis for habitat management 

of both beef cattle and prairie 

grouse. Beef cattle have been chosen 

because they are the most common 

livestock species grazed on 

South Dakota rangelands. Once 

stocking rates are determined for 

beef cattle, conversions can be 

made to determine stocking densities 

of other grazing animals, such 

as horses, sheep and goats. Prairie 

grouse represent wildlife because 

they are affected by management 

and have the potential to occur 

throughout the state. There are 

three primary species of prairie 

grouse that inhabit the state: sharp 

tailed grouse, prairie chicken, and 

sage grouse. Management can 

achieve many desired rangeland 

uses. Vegetation, livestock, and 

wildlife respond in a predictable 

manner to range management 

practices,” said Ollila. 

Soil Days is an opportunity to 

learn more about one of the most 

important South Dakota resources. 

Students will learn how to determine 

soil texture, soil depth, past 

erosion, slope and stoniness. They 

will also learn how to interpret permeability, 

surface runoff and limiting 

factors. From this information 

they will determine the land capability 

class. This will allow them to 

make recommended treatments for 

vegetation and mechanical erosion 

control. Fertilization recommendations 

will also be determined. Students 

will also learn about home 

site evaluation. 

Adults who wish to receive either 

an undergraduate or graduate 

credit for participating in the Soil 

Days portion should contact Ollila 

at david.ollila@sd state.edu for a 

syllabus of the course expectations. 

Competition is individual and 

team for all age groups. Teams may 

consist of three or four members 

from the county 4-H program or 

FFA chapter. 

A program commemorating the 

30th anniversary of Rangeland 

Days, along with recognition of individuals 

and organizations 

thatwere instrumental over the 

past 30 years, will be held just 

prior to the Tuesday evening meal 

at the Kadoka City Auditorium. 

The event is hosted by Jackson 

County Conservation District, 

Haakon County Conservation District, 

SDSU Extension and Natural 

Resources Conservation Service.

Obituaries 

Jill Alfaro_____________________ 

Jill Alfaro, age 57, of Philip, S.D., 

died Thursday, June 6, 2013, at the 

Hans P. Peterson Memorial Hospital 

in Philip. 

Jill Ann Fitch was born October 

24, 1955, in Kadoka, the third of 

three daughters to Lewis E. “Bud” 

and Dorothy (Hansen) Fitch. 

Jill graduated from Philip High 

School in 1973. 

She and her mother purchased 

the 11-Mile Corner station. It was 

there she honed her pitch and pool 

playing abilities. 

Jill traveled with her sister, 

Diane, and two friends to Rome, 

Italy, for the Holy Year Celebration 

of 1975. 

In the early 1980s, she and a good 

friend, Paula Erdmann, moved to 

Amarillo, Texas, to work for Ike and 

Florence Dale at their Husky Truck 

Stop. It was during this time that 

she married Juan Tomás Alfaro. 

After she and her daughter returned 

to Philip, she worked for the 

box factory before going to work at 

the local grocery store. She continued 

to work there until her death. 

Jill loved nothing more than 

being outside on a warm day, even 

those unbearably hot South Dakota 

days where even the breeze is blazing. 

She just loved the feeling of the 

sun hitting her skin. Nothing was 

better than being able to mow or 

even spend the day reading a good 

or terrible book, depending on 

whether you liked Stephen King or 

some juicy suspense, with a cold 

beer in one hand and a bottle of sun 

tan lotion in the other. 

Her house was always filled with 

music! From golden oldies to some 

good old country; as long as it was 

loud, it didn't matter. She wasn't 

much of a singer, as anyone will tell 

you, but she was one helluva dancer. 

Jill cared deeply for every child in 

her family, but for sure she had a 

special place in her heart for the 

Sloveks, Kash, Kaydence,and Karli, 

and they sure filled her heart with 

so much joy in the hardest months 

of her life. Although she is gone, 

they can always count on Grandma 

Jill to be watching. 

Jill taught us many things without 

having to try too hard. For instance, 

she taught us to strive to 

emulate a balance of strength and 

compassion, dignity and a love of 

mischief, but most importantly she 

taught us to never take life too seriously 

and to just be happy with the 

life you've got. 

Survivors include her daughter, 

Dorothy Ann Alfaro, and her fiancé, 

Kyle Hoemke, of Philip; two sisters, 

Diane Fitch and Marianne Frein 

and her husband, Lloyd, all of 

Philip; nephews, Tadd Moriarty of 

Chicago, Ill., Vance (Anissa) Moriarty 

of Manhattan, Kan., Jacob 

Frein (Melissa) of Rapid City, 

Patrick (Amanda) Moriarty of Rapid 

City, and Ian Moriarty of Rapid 

City; nieces, Mikal (Rian) Rasmussen 

of West Des Moines, Iowa, 

and Laura (Bruce) Potter of Brandon; 

a grandniece, Eliza Potter; 

grandnephews, Brodi Moriarty, 

Finn and Donovan Moriarty, Colt 

and Carson Frein, Graham Rasmussen, 

and Wyatt Potter; and her 

special friends, Gina Thorson of 

Wadena, Minn., and Heather Eisenbraun 

of Philip. 

Jill was preceded in death by her 

parents, Bud and Dorothy Fitch; her 

grandparents; and a brother-in-law, 

Tom Moriarty. 

Services were held Monday, June 

10, at the American Legion Hall in 

Philip, with Father Kevin Achbach 

officiating. 

Music was provided by Marilyn 

Millage, pianist, and Kristina 

Schofield, vocalist. Ushers were 

Rodney Dahlvang and Kalvin Eisenbraun. 

Pallbearers were Tadd, 

Vance, Pat and Ian Moriarty, Kyle 

Hoemke, Bruce Potter, Jacob Frein 

and Rian Rasmussen. 

Interment was at the Masonic 

Cemetery in Philip. 

Arrangements were with the 

Rush Funeral Home of Philip.

Inspiration Point 

God Can Use Our Frustration 

Read Mark 11:15-17 

Yesterday we saw that when fleshly desires and godly 

freedom collide, the result can be frustration, anxiety, 

and dissatisfaction with our circumstances. Unless we’re 

careful, that inner turmoil can lead to sin. 

There is another form of frustration, however. It’s used by God to motivate His children to make a positive 

difference in the world around them. This emotion is derived from witnessing acts of evil, feeling a great 

need to deliver the gospel to the lost, or becoming discontent with the moral deterioration of our culture. It 

comes from being burdened by the same things that weigh on God’s heart. 

Ephesians 4:30 says the Holy Spirit within us can become “grieved,” or saddened, by the rampant evil all 

around. When this happens, we experience the sensation of godly frustration. Perhaps this is what Jesus 

felt when He witnessed the money changers selling their wares in God’s holy temple (Mark 11:15). 

If we are not cautious, though, acting upon impulsive urges can cause needless damage to others and to 

ourselves. So, to bring about positive change, we must properly direct any feelings of spiritual frustration. 

That’s why it is important to establish a practice of submitting all our emotions to the Lord. When our hearts 

are pure, He will reveal to us what He would have us do. 

The next time you experience godly frustration, lift up your feelings to the Lord, and wait patiently until 

you receive clear guidance about how to proceed. He may ask you to take action, or He may call you to intercede 

quickly in prayer.

As I sit at the computer this 

Monday morning folks are happy 

as a lark. The countryside is 

greener than it has ever been for 

quite some time. The poppies and 

irises are still blooming and peonies 

about to pop wide open. The 

pasturelands are green and growing 

fast. We received a half an inch 

of rain Friday night and Saturday. 

More rain is forecast for every day 

this week, which is such good news 

after the drought of last summer. 

The birds are singing in the day 

time and the stars are shining and 

clear at night. Life is tremendous 

in the country and attitudes are 

even better! 

Monday, Moya Brickman and 

Carol Ferguson met Marjorie Popkes 

in Valentine. They were treated 

to lunch by Irene Kaufman at the 

Valentine Senior Citizens’ Center. 

In the sports news – it is rodeo 

and baseball season – and basketball 

is always in season here. This 

week we are following both high 

school and college rodeos. Good 

luck to all the contestants. 

My niece, Trisha Price, of Maurine 

is in the college nationals in 

Casper, WY, this week so am following 

that closely, too. She is in 

the goat tying representing Northwestern 

Oklahoma State University. 

South Dakota rodeo 

contestants are competing for colleges 

all over the country and we 

know they will do well. 

The Rings’ branded calves on 

Wednesday. Sharon Ring visited 

Marjorie Anne Letellier that morning. 

Thursday afternoon, Brant 

Kary, Mike Ring and Evan Bligh 

were on hand at the Ferguson 

home to help gather, sort, and load 

calves. Pete Ferguson and Howard 

Heinert hauled calves to Ft. Pierre 

later that afternoon. Ed and Carol 

Ferguson were in Ft. Perre for the 

calf sale on Friday. 

Last weekend, Norris and White 

River were well represented at the 

Chippewa-Cree Classic Basketball 

Tournament in Montana. Richard 

and Crystal Charging Hawk took 

four girls, Mike and Vickie Burbank 

had seven boys and Cheyenne 

and Orlana Schmidt took eight 

eighth graders. Our eighth grade 

team placed third, congratulations! 

The gals were thrilled to meet 

Tahnee Robinson the first Native 

American to play in the WNBA. 

Robinson grew up on the Wind 

River Reservation in Wyoming. The 

Montana Classic tournament hosts 

Native American teams from all 

over the nation. 

Thursday was a busy day for 

Maxine Allard. Dorothy Bligh visited 

Maxine in the afternoon, while 

Evan was helping at Ed Ferguson’s. 

Later her son, Stan, of Rapid 

City paid a surprise visit and did 

some mowing around the place for 

her. Maxine said the grass was so 

tall in some places that Stan just 

made a path for her. 

That evening June Ring was a 

supper guest. Prairie dog hunters, 

Hank Hudson, and his son, John, 

and grandson, Adam, paid Maxine 

a visit on Friday. The Indiana 

hunters returned that evening for 

a chat before leaving for the 

evening and were treated to pie. 

This weekend is the big fast 

pitch softball tournament held here 

in Norris. The guys have been 

working on the two ball fields to get 

them ready. Both folks in Blackpipe 

and Norris have been busy 

mowing lawns. It looks so nice you 

would almost think it was a competition. 

Keep it up folks, it is a never 

ending job. We are just proud of 

OUR town. 

Besides the baseball tournament 

there is always Indian Taco 

and rummage sales and the store 

stays open till the games end. 

Bertha Morrison is planning a 

rummage sale at the Norris Township 

Hall on Saturday. 

Tammy and Taylor Merchen 

joined a group of gals from Kadoka 

on a One Child Matters Mission 

trip to the Dominican Republic on 

Thursday on the first leg of their 

trip. They flew out of New York on 

Friday morning and will be gone 

over a week. 

Sue Larson of Rapid City and 

Julie Letellier of Kilgore spent a 

good share of the week helping pull 

weeds and helping mow at the 

James Letelliers, this week. Ty 

Merchen helped mow the Norris 

Cemetery and joined the gang at 

the Letelliers’ for dinner. Friday 

night we all enjoyed a fish fry at 

the Jason Burma home in honor of 

Jim’s birthday a bit early. 

Folks might be interested to 

know that Chris Starkjohnn was 

in the GPA Championship Tournament 

in St. Louis, Missouri recently. 

He is the son of Floyd and 

June Starkjohnn of Windsor, Colorado 

formerly of Norris. 

Saturday friends and neighbors 

helped Ray and Gail Berry brand 

in the rain. Loren and family were 

home from Rapid City and Brent 

came from Jamestown, ND, for the 

event. Folks were remembering 

how last year we were already worried 

about fires at branding time. 

Carol Ferguson worked at the 

Wanblee Post Office on Saturday. 

Kaleigh WoodenKnife visited 

Moya Brickman at the Ferguson 

home on Sunday. Jess, Pete and 

Marla Ferguson were Sunday supper 

guests at the Ed Ferguson 

home. 

Harry and Jeanne Merchen of 

Black Hawk were at the ranch over 

the weekend. They were busy 

cleaning out a back room in which 

they had stored items since their 

move. 

Congratulations to Jeremy Ring 

and Morgan Taft who were confirmed 

at the St. John Lutheran 

Church on Sunday morning. Sponsors 

for Jeremy Ring were Gloria

BELVIDERE BAR 

The Belvidere Firemen’s feed 

and dance on Saturday evening 

went very well according to fire 

chief, Jim Addison. Lots of people 

came and enjoyed the food, visiting, 

and dance. Some 142 burgers were 

served along with 245 brats and a 

whole lot of beans and other things. 

Enough money was raised to keep 

things operational for a while. According 

to Jim, it takes about 

$4,500 to $6,000 a year to keep the 

fire department up and running. 

Bob Fortune celebrated his 65th 

birthday for about three days. His 

actual birthday was on Thursday, 

which was duly celebrated with his 

wife, Ruth, and his kids, Chuck, 

Francie, and Les and their families 

and friends. A supper was served 

for all of these on Thursday 

evening. Additional meals were 

served on Friday and Saturday. 

Others coming on Thursday, Friday 

and Saturday included Mark and 

Karen Nelson with Kathleen and 

Jayden, Dave and Beth Flom, Kay 

Moody, and other relatives and 

friends. Fortunes also sold last 

year’s calf crop on Friday, so there 

was no lack of activity and visiting 

for three or four days. 

Chuck and Merry Willard drove 

to Philip on Friday to visit Chuck’s 

mom, Pat. On Saturday evening, 

they attended the firemen’s feed 

and dance in Belvidere. Merry said 

they didn’t get home until 11:00 

p.m. since there were so many people 

to visit with. Their daughter, 

Coleen, and her husband and 

daughter were here for ten days or 

so recently and went home by way 

of a big team-roping event in Bowman, 

ND, that Billy wanted to be 

in. He had brought two horses with 

him from Wyoming. The roping 

event was supposed to be in Belle 

Fourche, but recent rains had 

made a swamp out of the rodeo 

grounds there resulting in the 

move to North Dakota. When the 

cowboy event was going on in Bowman, 

Merry’s mom called and was 

all worried because she’d heard 

there were tornados in the Bowman 

area. That was true, but Billy 

and Coleen were not affected. 

Merry said, though, that Billy really 

hates some of our weather including 

wind, hail, and tornados. 

He’s lived in the mountains for 

most of his life where these things 

are rare, and he doesn’t really care 

to get acquainted with them. 

Chuck has now been back at his 

paramedic work at Rosebud for 

three months after taking off several 

months to have his hip replaced. 

He has also taken some 

time off recently to help with various 

brandings around the country. 

On one day last week at Rosebud, 

the ambulance had thirty calls in 

24 hours, so the work there can be 

fairly intense. 

Betty Kusick was visited by Joe 

Livermont of Wanblee last week. 

Naturally, they played some cribbage, 

and Betty managed to come 

out the big winner. On Saturday, 

Betty attended the firemen’s feed 

and dance. She was going to stay 

for part of the dance, but it got 

chilly enough that she decided to go 

home about 9:30. It was several 

hours past her normal bedtime by 

then anyway. 

Jo Rodgers has been wondering 

if they give frequent-driver miles 

since she’s been getting in a lot of 

driving lately with her post office 

Belvidere News

duties. She has hooked up with 

Arla Patterson to travel to various 

post offices to help them with various 

duties. On Tuesday, the gals 

went to Draper, Wood, and Mission. 

On Thursday, Jo worked in Presho. 

This week, Jo and Arla have trips 

planned to Norris on Monday and 

Harold on Tuesday. Jo attended the 

feed and dance on Main Street on 

Saturday and got in some dancing 

and a lot of visiting. Son Jory also 

was there and did some eating and 

dancing. John, however, needed to 

tend the bar so he didn’t go along. 

Mark and Nicci DeVries and 

sons are getting ready for the upcoming 

baseball and softball season. 

Sons Geoffrey and Greyson 

had their first baseball game on 

Tuesday in Kadoka. As a result, 

Saturday was spent by Nicci and 

boys at Kadoka getting the concession 

stand cleaned and ready for 

use. It will be run in part by the 

cheerleaders as a fund raiser, and 

Nicci is the coach and advisor to 

the cheerleaders. Gavin will play 

some softball. Other than that, 

Mark and boys have attended various 

brandings and are getting 

ready for the haying season. Mark 

also helped put on the firemen’s 

event on Saturday. 

Kirby and Nancy Schofield took 

in the feed and dance in Belvidere 

on Saturday evening. Nancy is 

back to working at 1880 Town for 

the season. When Larry and John 

Dolezal branded on Friday, Nancy 

brought some co-workers from 

1880 Town to observe since they 

are not from this area and hadn’t 

ever seen a branding. Kirby said 

they moved some heifers out to 

grass after the branding. On July 

12, Kirby returns to Rapid City for 

a three-month checkup to see if his 

cancer is still under control or if 

more treatments are required. 

Bill Headlee traveled to the Winner 

area on Sunday to pick up some 

grass seed. Their alfalfa was hailed 

out so maybe some grass seed will 

help. While there, he visited his 

daughter, Anora, and family and 

helped his granddaughter, Ally, celebrate 

her third birthday. Last 

weekend, Anora and kids and 

Norma went to Deadwood where 

Anora did a thirteen mile 

marathon along the Mickelson 

Trail. Norma went along to watch 

the kids and said she probably got 

in 30 miles trying to keep up with 

them. Anora’s husband couldn’t go 

along since some cattle had gotten 

out and needed to be dealt with. On 

Friday, daughter Donella came 

from Sioux Falls with her friend, 

Darrel. They were headed to the 

Hills to do some camping at Custer 

State Park. At the vet clinic, work 

with calving difficulties is about 

done for this year, but bull testing 

is still in full swing. After that, 

things may quiet down for a bit. 

Russ and Gay Spinsby went to 

Chamberlain on Friday where they 

met their son, Marty, and family of 

Mitchell. Beside just getting together 

to visit, Russ and Gay took 

a small air conditioner to Marty for 

use in his kid’s bedroom. Gay said 

Presho was looking fairly bleak 

along with a five-mile strip around 

it due to a hailstorm that went 

through there the same night 

Belvidere had hail. It wasn’t pretty. 

Back at home, some spraying of 

fields is in the works with haying 

about to begin.

Lookin’ Around 

by Syd Iwan 

Is it possible to work too hard at 

having fun? I suspect it might be. 

Take the RV that I passed on the 

freeway the other day. Here was 

this huge brown RV rolling down 

the road with a car hooked on behind. 

Two canoes were strapped to 

the top of the car and three bicycles 

on the back of it. One more 

bike was strapped to the back of 

the RV. “My goodness!” I thought. 

“These people are working really 

hard at having a good time!” 

And, for them, it might be quite 

a lot of fun. I don’t know for sure. 

It would be a little tedious for me. 

There you are driving this small 

train many miles to get to an interesting 

destination. Then you’d 

have to find a place to park and get 

set up with electrical and plumbing 

connections after making sure 

the RV was fairly level. You’d probably 

have to take down the canoes 

and bikes and get all settled in. 

This would take quite a bit of time. 

Naturally, you wouldn’t want to 

miss anything so you might see if 

the park had a decent pool and go 

for a swim. Other local attractions 

should really be checked out as 

well. 

All in all, I had no envy at all for 

the family or group that was traveling 

around in this mobile fun 

machine. I maybe could handle 

driving to some resort, setting up 

and staying there for a week or so, 

but moving this rig to new locations 

every day would soon try my 

patience. I had a travel trailer for 

a while and pulled it from South 

Carolina back home to the ranch 

after being in the Navy. It was 

somewhat enjoyable, but nothing 

I’d care to repeat at this point in 

my life. I think of the time somewhere 

in Kentucky or Tennessee 

when I was going over some mountains, 

and my car vapor locked and 

would barely move. “Now what am 

I going to do?” I wondered. I had 

visions of being stalled out on a 

steep, winding mountain road with 

a defunct car pulling a trailer. 

Luckily, things righted themselves 

after a cool-down, and I could continue 

on and arrive home with no 

major problems. I parked the 

trailer at the ranch where it sat a 

year or two until someone offered 

to buy it. I sold it. My trailer days 

were over. I had some good times 

in that camper and don’t regret 

having had it for a few years, but 

it was time to move on to other 

things. I figured there were easier 

ways to have fun. 

Good Times 

Wife Corinne and I feel somewhat 

similar when we watch the 

revelry going on in Times Square 

on New Year’s Eve. Everyone is 

laughing, and shouting, and apparently 

having quite a grand 

time. Personally, Corinne and I 

have no desire at all to stand 

around outside all bundled up 

against the cold and waiting for 

some silly ball to drop, signaling 

the beginning of a new year. It always 

looks to us like those folks in 

Time Square are trying awfully 

hard to have a good time. More 

power to them, but don’t expect us 

to join them anytime soon. 

Part of my aversion to manufactured 

fun has to do with being 

raised on a ranch. You simply have 

to travel too far to find a party, and 

sometimes the roads are muddy or 

snow covered to boot. It is easier to 

find simpler things for entertainment 

such as walks on the prairie, 

a dip in the stock dam on a hot day, 

fishing, watching a sunset, and the 

like. 

Additionally, seeking constant 

pleasure seems a bit shallow as a 

life’s goal. Isn’t it somewhat better 

to accomplish useful things in life? 

It seems that way to me anyway. 

What is ideal is when your work is 

enjoyable. For many of us, ranching 

often fills the bill. Being outside 

tending critters has some bad 

times, but also many good ones. I 

also find it satisfying to provide 

music at church on Sunday, write 

down various observations on life, 

and help take care of my young son 

who can’t do a lot of things for himself. 

I also like fiddling with computers, 

practicing the piano, 

reading books, eating a tasty meal, 

and just enjoying life in general. I 

seem to have no need to search for 

pleasure. It’s all around me. All I 

have to do is enjoy it. 

For instance, I’ve just finished 

writing this which took some concentration, 

typing, and computer 

fiddling. Next I should practice the 

piano in getting things ready for 

church tomorrow. After that, I 

have some shrimp needing to be 

cooked up with pasta, tomatoes, 

mushrooms and cheese. Sponge 

cake with cream-cheese frosting is 

available for dessert. Take a guess. 

Would I rather be right here leading 

the simple life or traveling the 

country in a huge RV trailing a car 

with attached boats and bikes? 

Yep, you’re right. Home is where 

the heart is, and right now my 

heart is glad to be at home.

Jean, and the rest of the family 

back around the home. 

Phyllis Word, Lova Bushnell, 

Shirley Josserand, Lola Joyce Riggins, 

and many others stop in often 

to visit many of the residents, without 

all of you this place would be 

pretty boring. We all love and appreciate 

you. 

Joy Parker received many visitors 

throughout the week. Ron and 

Renate Carson, Wilma and Mel 

Carleton and Sandi Luisi. Sandi is 

the daughter of Mel and Wilma, 

she drove down for church. 

Arlys Klundt and his friend, 

Raynita, were down to visit with 

mom, Ruth Klundt. The smile on 

her face when she sees them tells it 

all! 

Alice Wilmarth is also liking the 

nice weather she enjoys sitting outside 

with family and friends. 

Emma Jarl has been very busy 

getting all her bird feeders cleaned 

and filled up with seed. She loves 

to sit on her bed and watch and listen 

to the birds, they are awesome! 

Last week we got the garden put 

in. We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, 

peppers, carrots, potatoes, 

squash, parsley, beans, and lettuce. 

We also planted some beautiful 

flowers and Micki Word was given 

a large flower arrangement, in 

which is sitting outside the front 

entrance. 

At this time I would like to let 

each and everyone of you know how 

much we appreciate their visits, 

prayers, phone calls, and kind 

deeds. Until next time enjoy the 

nice weather and be safe! 

We have many planned outings 

this summer that included picnics, 

rodeos, water aerobic, 1880 Town, 

Pierre waterfront, and many more.

World’s Largest Junior High Rodeo 

Local students Carson Good, an

2013 Vacation Bible School 

Monday, June 17 through ursday, June 2 

at the Kadoka Presbyterian Church 

8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 

Everyone is welcome! 

Preschool through 8th grade 

Legion baseball into 2013 season 

Teens from Philip, Kadoka and 

Wall areas have come together 

again to make an American Legion 

baseball team. 

The 14- to 18-year-old members 

of the Philip Post #173 team have 

already put two doubleheaders 

under their belts. On Saturday, 

June 1, they challenged the Piedmont 

Post – St. Thomas More – 

team, which had already won the 

high school state baseball tournament 

this year. “They’re a pretty 

good club,” said Philip coach Kory 

Foss. “We had a rough first inning, 

but we did pretty well after that” 

Philip lost the two games. 

On June 8, Post #173 traveled to 

Belle Fourche to win the first game 

12-4, then lose the second game 3- 

9. Foss said doubleheaders are 

done with the first game being 

seven innings and the second being 

five innings. 

When it comes to practices, “We 

*There is no cost and 

each child will receive a 

free T-shirt* 

If you have any questions contact 

Dana Eisenbraun 837-2388, Julie 

Hermann 837-2085 or Pastor Gary 

McCubbin 837-2085 

kind of play it by ear,” said Foss. 

“We have kids from all over the 

place and try to work it to what the 

kids can do.” 

When it comes to travel, “We’re 

on our own,” said Foss. “There 

aren’t many Class B teams left. We 

don’t even know who’s going to be 

in our region this year. It’s hard for 

a Class B to find games. You have 

to travel quite a bit. 

“This is our third year I’ve been 

with them. We’ve progressively gotten 

better each year. Hopefully this 

will be our best year yet. We have 

a lot of good kids, on and off the 

field. It’s a fun group,” Foss concluded. 

The players include two from 

Philip – Avery Johnson and Riley 

Heltzel. Two more are from Wall – 

Cass Lytle and Trevor Anderson. 

The rest of this year’s team are 

from the Kadoka area – Aaron 

Janis, AJ Bendt, Chandlier Sudbeck, 

Clint Stout, Jed Brown, Nick 

Young, Zac Stone, Storm Wilcox, 

and Bubba Young from White 

River. 

The game schedule for Post #173 

is still tentative toward the end of 

the season. All are doubleheaders, 

except if noted, or tournaments.

Saddle Bronc Chute-Out coming up in White River 

Added events: Mini-Broncs and Mutton Bustin’ for youth 

Bronc Riding fans and contestants, 

of all ages, will certainly be 

entertained on Saturday, June 29, 

2013 at the Frontier Arena in 

White River, SD. And if you’re not 

a rodeo fan now, you will be after 

attending this annual event. 

Contestants: The third annual 

Saddle Bronc Chute-Out, hosted by 

the Michael Glynn Memorial Coalition, 

will feature 25 of the area’s 

best bronc riders. Contestants entered 

so far are coming from South 

Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and 

North Dakota. Locally, Ben Adrian 

and Bill Chauncey are entered; 

Chauncey having just completed 

stellar performances at the High 

School River Regionals, and heading 

for the SD State Finals next 

weekend in Belle Fourche. 

Others entered at this time are 

Eric Addison of Caputa, SD, who 

has been a finalist in the Chute- 

Out the past two years, as well as 

brothers Ty and Derek Kenner of 

Wood Lake, NE, who have been top 

contenders. In addition, PRCA contestant 

Nate Nelson of Bismark, 

ND will by vying for prize money, 

as well as his traveling partners 

Dude Koester, Jake Tescher and 

Sean Johnson, all from Medora, 

ND. 

Of the 25 contestants, 12 will 

come back to ride in the second and 

final round. 

A $5,000 purse will be added to 

their entry fees, for the potential of 

a large pay-out for the 12 top riders. 

Youth Events: Added events this 

year will feature a round of Mini- 

Bronc riding. Youth ages 7-14 will 

be riding miniature horses provided 

by Kevin Pinney of Philip, 

SD and Dean Hawk of Rosebud, 

SD. All contestants in this event 

will receive a token prize. The two 

top mini-bronc riders, as determined 

by a combination of judge’s 

scores and crowd enthusiasm during 

their ride, will receive Champion 

and Reserve Champion belt 

buckles! 

Up to 16 contestants can event 

the Mini-Bronc event. No experience 

is necessary, as Pinney said he 

will talk to the rider, and match the 

rider’s ability with a horse. 

“We saw this event during a national 

event,” organizer Joyce 

Glynn said, “and we just knew we 

had to offer it at our bronc ride. It 

is so much fun to watch those kids 

on miniature horses, and what a 

great way to kids excited about 

rodeo!” 

In addition to Mini-Broncs, 

youth aged 5-6 will be riding sheep 

in a classic round of Mutton 

Bustin’. Prizes will be awarded to 

each of these contestants as well. 

Added Attractions: The bronc 

riding will begin at 6:00 p.m. CT 

with the first round calcutta. A calcutta 

will be held for each round of 

riding. 

John Costello, PRCA announcer 

from Sundance, Wyo., will serve as 

announcer for this years bronc ride, 

bringing his wit and wisdom for 

added entertainment. 

Photo opportunities will be 

abundant for parents. George and 

Suzanne England of rural Mellette 

County will be present with a display 

of their goat herd, including 

four-legged baby ‘kids’ that love to 

be held and photographed with 

two-legged ‘kids’! 

“We’ve got some really fun, and 

healthy gifts lined up for everyone 

who comes through the gate,” she 

adds. “And just like last year, we’ll 

be giving free root beer floats to 

everyone who agrees to stay alcohol-free 

the whole weekend.” 

This event, as all events hosted 

by the Michael Glynn Memorial 

Coalition, is alcohol-free. 

“We know the tragic consequences 

of drinking, and drinking 

and driving,” Glynn explains. “We 

want, especially young people, to 

know that you can have a lot of fun, 

even at a rodeo, without having alcohol 

involved. We don’t want anyone 

to drive away under the 

influence of alcohol.” 

Entries: For more information, 

or to enter yourself or a youth in 

any of the events, you can contact 

Roger or Joyce Glynn at 344-2533 

or 441-5389, or e-mail 

rjglynn@gwtc.net 

Gate admission is $10 for adults, 

and $5 for all school aged youth (6- 

17); up to age 5 is free. Concessions 

will be available on the grounds. 

No drugs or alcohol will be allowed, 

nor will anyone be allowed in who 

appears to be under the influence 

of alcohol. 

The Michael Glynn Memorial 

Coalition was formed following the 

death of Michael Glynn in 2006, 

who died in an alcohol-related car 

crash the morning after his high 

school graduation. Michael was a 

rodeo athlete, whose passion was 

bull riding. The mission of the 

MGM Coalition is to offer opportunities 

for youth and adults to become 

or stay alcohol, tobacco and 

drug-free.

Official Proceedings 

REGULAR MEETING 

Board of Jackson 

County Commissioners 

May 13, 2012 

The Board of Jackson County Commissioners 

met in regular session on May 

13, 2013 in the Commissioner’s Room of 

the Jackson County Courthouse. Chairman 

Glen Bennett called the meeting to 

order at 9:00 a.m. with members Larry 

Denke, Larry Johnston, and Ron Twiss 

present. Jim Stilwell was absent. 

A representative of Indian Country Today 

was present for most of the morning. 

All motions carried unanimously unless 

otherwise noted. 

Twiss moved, Denke seconded, that the 

minutes of the April meetings be approved. 

Dale Young, AMDA Technologies, presented 

information on a proposed water 

line being installed by the Oglala Sioux 

Tribe for the Oglala Sioux Tribe Rural 

Water Supply System. An easement to 

place the proposed water line within the 

right of way on the Allen Road (CH 14) 

and 275 th. Street (CS 43) within Jackson 

County was presented to the board. 

The easement and maps were reviewed 

by the board. Following discussion, 

Denke moved, Johnston seconded, that 

the easement be approved and signed. 

Sheriff Clements met with the board. 

Terry Thomas, Greenvalley Fire Dept., 

Cliff McClure, Interior Fire Dept., and Eric 

Gropper, Long Valley Fire Dept. were 

also present. 

Sheriff Clements reported that approximately 

two years ago state radio had instructed 

that Jackson County could no 

longer use the Philip interagency system 

for routine law enforcement communication. 

Jackson County has now been notified 

that Pennington County has taken 

over state radio dispatch and will no 

longer dispatch Jackson County through 

the Philip interagency system. Sheriff 

Clements reported that Jackson County 

could change to Winner 911 dispatch, but 

their situation may change in the future 

also. He also reported that a solution to 

the situation may be to request the Sheriff’s 

Office digital channels be added to 

the new Pennington County console 

when it is set up. This could be done at 

no cost to Jackson County, and then 

have all Jackson County law enforcement, 

ambulance and fire department radios 

programmed with the channels. 

Terry Thomas reported that the Greenvalley 

Fire Department still has their old 

analog radio system antenna. He reported 

that the system could be used as 

a county wide system. Report was made 

that there is another analog antenna at 

Eric Gropper’s which was used by the 

Longvalley Fire Department. Discussion 

was held that all first responders are now 

using digital systems. 

Cliff McClure, Interior Fire Department, 

reported that the Potato Creek paging 

equipment was repaired, and is working 

well. 

Cliff McClure reported that West River 

Electric has offered the use of their 

bucket truck to assist with moving the 

paging equipment from the old Interior 

fire hall to their new hall. He also reported 

that Pennington County’s original 

cost estimate for moving the paging 

equipment was $592.37, and that now 

they have presented another estimate of 

approximately $400.00 for materials 

needed in moving the paging equipment. 

Jackie Stilwell, Emergency Manager is to 

order the additional materials. 

Sheriff Clements reported that he has 

withdrawn the Jackson County application 

for next year’s Law Enforcement 

Highway Safety Grant as match funding 

will now be required. 

Sheriff Clements inquired as to whether 

the City of Kadoka has been billed 

$2,000.00 for use of the county teletype. 

Vicki Wilson, Auditor, reported that billing 

will be sent to the city this month. 

Sheriff Clements reported that jail costs 

are higher in 2013 than anticipated. He 

reported there is a new tribal jail facility 

at Mission. Discussion was held that only 

tribal members can be placed at the facility. 

Vicki Wilson, Auditor, presented monthly 

financial reports and the highway funds 

analysis.

Treasurer was approved as of April 30,

O. J. Semans, Sr. and Barbara Semans, 

Executive Directors of Four Directions, 

and Bret Healy, River Bluffs Strategies, 

met with the board. A letter was presented 

to the board which was received 

from Tom Poor Bear, Vice President, 

Oglala Sioux Tribe. Vice President Poor 

Bear’s letter presented a request strongly 

urging Jackson County to establish and 

staff a satellite voter registration and in 

person absentee voting office in the community 

of Wanblee. The letter also requested 

that the satellite office maintain 

the same days and hours that the Auditor’s 

Office in Kadoka is open for absentee 

voting, which is 46 days prior to each 

primary and general state and federal 

election O. J. Semans presented information 

on how the satellite offices were 

set up in Dewey and Buffalo Counties, 

and how those counties are utilizing 

HAVA funding to cover the additional cost 

to the county. Vicki Wilson, Auditor, reported 

that years ago she would go to 

Wanblee to register voters and collect 

absentee ballot request forms as those 

forms were required to be notarized at 

that time. She informed those present 

that voter registration and absentee ballot 

request forms are no longer required 

to be notarized, that the forms can be obtained 

off the Secretary of State website, 

or can be mailed from the Auditor’s office 

if the person requests the forms by letter 

or by a phone call. Bret Healy gave examples 

of problems encountered when 

mailing absentee ballot documents that 

result in ballots not being returned by 

closing of polls on election day. The 

county’s main concern would be funding 

of such a satellite office due to the tax 

limitation. 

The board requested that 

more information be received on use of 

HAVA funding for this type of reimbursable 

expense. 

Cindy Willert, Treasurer, met with the 

board. She reported that Jackson County 

has taken tax deed on the property of 

Maggie Williams (deceased), Wanblee, 

SD. She reported the total amount due 

against the property in delinquent tax, 

penalty, and advertising is $79.05. She 

also reported that Emil Williams is willing 

to purchase the property from the county. 

Twiss moved, Denke seconded, that Lot 

3, Block 6, Wanblee be sold by private 

sale to Emil Williams in the amount of 

$79.05 and that Chairman Bennett be 

authorized to sign the quit claim deed. 

Cindy Willert pointed out to the board 

that they are in violation of the county 

personnel policy on nepotism. She stated 

Glen Bennett is a County Commissioner; 

his cousin, Vicki Wilson, is Auditor; his 

brother-in-law, Raymond Clements, Jr., 

is Sheriff; the Sheriff’s wife, Barbara 

Clements, is janitor / groundskeeper; and 

Glen Bennett’s wife, Rosemarie Bennett, 

was recently appointed as Director of 

Equalization. Cindy Willert stated that the 

appointment of Rosemarie Bennett as 

Director of Equalization created the violation 

of the county personnel policy on 

nepotism, and she informed the board 

she feels Glen Bennett should step 

down. At 11:35 a.m., Twiss moved, 

Denke seconded, that the board go into 

executive session to discuss personnel 

matters. States Attorney Dan Van Gorp 

and Cindy Willert, Treasurer were present. 

The board came out of executive 

session at 12:50 p.m. 

The board recessed and reconvened at 

1:15 p.m. Members Bennett, Johnston 

and Twiss were present. Members 

Denke and Stilwell were absent. 

Dwight Deaver, Hwy. Supt., Kolette Struble, 

Hwy. Sec. and States Attorney Van 

Gorp were also present. 

Eric Brown, Butler Machinery, met with 

the board and informed them the 2013 

Cat 140M motor grader with lift group 

and ripper is to be delivered today. Discussion 

was held on the proposed payment 

plan when the Spink County bid 

information was presented to the board. 

No lease purchase documents were 

available at this time. Twiss moved, 

Johnston seconded, that Chairman Bennett 

be authorized to sign the lease purchase 

agreement when the documents 

are received. 

An analysis of oil samples from the 2009 

Cat 140M motor grader was presented to 

the board. Dwight Deaver, Hwy. Supt., 

reported that annual cost of fluid analysis 

is $350.00, but good preventative maintenance. 

Duane Busac and Carl Engwall, National 

Park Service, met with the board to discuss 

the proposed Historical Minuteman 

Missile Site visitor center and proposed 

road projects on county roads at I-90 

Exits 131 and 127. The board addressed 

concerns of costs to upgrade the north 

end of the Cottonwood Road (CH 8) to 

accommodate increased traffic. Duane 

Busac reported that the National Park 

Service plans to establish a project in 

2014 to replace all highway signs on the 

entire Cottonwood Road. He also informed 

the board they are proposing to 

attempt to divert traffic coming in from the 

north by placing signs on Hwy. 14 near 

Philip to route westbound travelers down 

Hwy. 73 to I-90. They reported that the 

county can apply for FLAP funding for 

bridges, culverts, gravel maintenance, 

etc. Information was also provided that 

USDA Rural Development Grants are 

available, and that Tim Crawford, S. D. 

School of Mines & Technology would be 

a contact person for that funding. Vicki 

Wilson, Auditor, suggested that Marlene 

Knutson, Central S. D. Enhancement 

District, may also have information on 

funding for upgrading the north end of 

the Cottonwood Road and may assist 

with the application process. Duane 

Busac informed the board they plan to 

draw up an agreement whereby the National 

Park Service would do highway 

trash clean-up, snow removal, etc. Report 

was made that the easement for the 

sanitary sewer line has been signed, returned 

to the county and is being filed in 

the Register of Deeds office. Following 

discussion, Twiss moved, Johnston seconded, 

that the National Park Service be 

authorized to proceed with their projects 

at I-90 Exits 131 and 127. 

Dwight Deaver reported on road maintenance 

and equipment operation. 

Dwight Deaver presented options for a 

haul road agreement on Red Stone Road 

to be submitted to Bennett County. The 

board designated the option to have 

Bennett County place 100 ton of gravel 

on the road each year. Dwight Deaver informed 

the board he will present the 

agreement to the Bennett County Commission. 

Dwight Deaver reported that placing 

signs on Hwy 73 to alert traffic that Willow 

Creek Road would be closed during 

culvert replacement would be cost prohibitive. 

The board suggested that very 

large signs be placed in the county road 

right-of-way at the west entrance to the 

Willow Creek Road that the road is 

closed to through traffic. 

A bridge inspection work order to have 

Brosz Engineering provide consultant 

services was presented to the board. 

Johnston moved, Twiss seconded, that 

the document be approved and signed. 

A water line easement from West River 

Lyman Jones Rural Water Systems was 

presented to the board. The water line 

would cross Fairview Road (CH 13) in 

the W2, Section 36, T 1 S, R 19 E. Twiss 

moved, Johnston seconded that the 

easement be approved and signed. 

Commissioner Johnston inquired why 

persons have to maintain cattle guards 

placed on county roads. The cattle guard 

ordinance was reviewed. The choice of 

the person installing the cattle guard is to 

either install and maintain the cattle 

guard or fence out the road. 

Dwight Deaver reported that cost of 

portable signs for road maintenance 

would cost about $980.00. The board 

suggested an attempt to locate the older 

signs before new signs are ordered. 

A billing was received from Luden’s, Inc. 

for a set of used pallet forks for $300.00. 

Twiss moved, Johnston seconded, that 

the pallet forks be purchased. 

Debra Moor, Librarian, reported that the 

repairs to the Library that began in March 

are done except the door. She also reported 

the lighted exit signs still need to 

be installed. The board informed her they 

will review quotes for the exit signs and 

installation later today. 

Debra Moor reported she has not heard 

whether the S. D. Broadband grant has 

been approved. 

Debra Moor reported that part-time Librarian, 

Evangeline Fortune, will not be 

working the month of June, and plans to 

extend her probationary period. 

Sheriff Clements met with the board and 

inquired about the burn ban. The board 

informed him it is worded the same as 

the 2012 burn ban. A copy of the resolution 

was given to the Sheriff. 

Sheriff Clements reported that Deputy 

Dallas Kendrick is a member of the National 

Guard, and will be taking military 

leave. A copy of the personnel policy regarding 

military leave was given to the 

Sheriff. 

Two quotes for lighted emergency exit 

signs and installation for the courthouse, 

library and Kadoka shop were received: 

Brant’s Electric, $1,341.30; TLC Electric, 

$1,765.00. Following review of the 

quotes, Twiss moved, Johnston seconded, 

that the quote of Brant’s Electric 

for lighted emergency exit signs and installation 

be accepted. 

Rosemarie Bennett met with the board. 

She reported that Lender Processing has 

requested records from the Director of 

Equalization office. She inquired as to 

what should be charged for copies of the 

information they were requesting. Vicki 

Wilson, Auditor, reported that Sage Information 

Services has requested copies of 

the December 28, 2012 meeting minutes 

pertaining to their request for copies of 

assessment records, and any report to 

the Commissioners regarding fees for requests 

for assessment records. Twiss 

moved, Johnston seconded, the matter 

be tabled until the June meeting. 

In February 2011 the Commissioners notified 

the City of Kadoka by letter that the 

structure on the Walton property is a hazard, 

and that it was the board’s recommendation 

that the structure should be 

condemned. The property is located on 

the E2 Lots 1,2, & All Lot 3, Block 4, City 

of Kadoka. A letter was drawn up to again 

recommend the structure be condemned. 

The letter was signed.

The S. D. Developmental Center, Redfield, 

SD has billed Jackson County an 

additional $60.00 for an accrued total of 

$840.00 for client assessment. Jackson 

County responded in June 2012 that 

charges should be assessed to the appropriate 

federal government agency as 

per SDCL 27B-3-27. Johnston moved, 

Twiss seconded, that the billing be denied.

County resident. This was the third admission 

for this patient in 2013.

Thank you to all the businesses

Foods for their donations. Whether

Belvidere Volunteer 

Fire Department 

A very heartfelt thank you to 

everyone for the kind words and 

deeds shown to our entire family at 

the surprise loss of Norma. She 

meant a lot to us all and I would like 

to share this tribute written by her 

oldest granddaughter, Heather. She 

was going to read this at the service 

but did not have the chance. 

On behalf of Norma Olney’s family, 

we would all like to thank you for 

coming today to celebrate her life 

with us. 

I wrote this tribute for a reason. 

Grandma had asked my Aunt Darla 

to play the piano and me to sing the 

song, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” 

someday at her funeral. We 

resolved the fact that was not going 

to happen years ago, so I thought I 

would do something to make up for 

not singing. 

If you are sitting here today, honoring 

my grandmother, then she 

touched your life in some way, 

shape or form. You all knew her in 

some way, your own way, just like 

the rest of us. 

I was blessed to know her in my 

own way as my grandmother. For all 

of you in the audience today, to 

know Norma Olney was to know she 

cherished three things in life: her 

family (which just happens to populate 

much of Jackson County), her 

faith in God and the Catholic 

Church, and her friendships. 

To not talk about Grandma Olney 

and her family would be like not talking 

about her at all. Her family was 

the very existence of her being. Her 

family was a HUGE one and I mean 

HUGE! I’m not just talking about her 

children, grandchildren, and great 

grandchildren as her family; I’m talking 

about ALL her family. She cherished 

her parents and her sisters. 

Her sisters and their families were

THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT CAREER - 

very important to her. We weren’t 

just part of Norma’s family; we were 

part of her village. 

As many of you know, Grandma’s 

faith was all encompassing in her 

life. So much that she was determined 

to turn her family and anyone 

else she could into a Catholic. I 

know this better than anyone being 

a Presbyterian. I brought a boyfriend 

home one time and took him over to 

meet my grandmother. I warned him 

what would happen, but he thought 

I was over exaggerating. I introduced 

them and the first questioned 

out of her mouth to him was, “Are 

you Catholic?” When he replied, 

“No, I am not Norma.” she just said, 

“Oh!” 

Easter was a very important religious 

holiday for Grandma. Every 

day of Lent, Grandma rolled all the 

kids out of bed to attend 7 a.m. 

Mass. Imagine getting that family 

ready for church in the morning. 

Every night after supper during Lent, 

each child was on their knees saying 

the Rosary, for as long as that would 

take. 

Easter Sunday everyone had an 

Easter basket and new shoes, which 

were worn to church. 

Grandma’s friendships were also 

very important to her. It’s very hard 

for a mother of a large family to 

make and sustain friendships with a 

busy family life, but Grandma made 

it a priority to keep her friends close. 

Grandma had many friends in her 

life, too many to name each one, but 

her best friend was her sister, Carolyn. 

Carolyn was not only a sister, 

but a confidant and a friend. 

Grandma spent many hours drinking 

coffee with Carolyn and playing 

cards. If they were not together, they 

were on the telephone. They spent 

the weekends together with their 

families and drove together to their 

children’s sporting events. Those 

two rarely missed an event. 

Grandma was able to spend time 

with her friends through bowling, 

bridge club, and craft club. She 

made time to have coffee and lunch 

with many of her friends. 

In closing, I would like to say that 

I am proud to be part of Grandma’s 

family and her village. We all love 

you Grandma and will miss you! 

Once again, thank you, 

Richard (Bud) Olney 

and family

Farm Safety and Employee 

Management 

It was a bit of a coincidence that 

one day when I was reflecting on 

the HOSTA (Hazardous Occupation 

and Safety Training in Agriculture, 

or “Tractor Safety” School) 

that was recently held in Winner, 

I read an interesting entry in the 

journal type book by Ryan Taylor, 

“Cowboy Logic Family Style”. 

The theme of Ryan Taylor’s 

entry in the book was the virtue of 

his fathers’ management skills, 

and how he tries hard to treat people 

the same way, helped of course 

by his upbringing. At least on a 

farm or ranch, one of the challenges 

of a good manager (that 

would usually be the owner) is 

when employees (including their 

children) have “farm wrecks”. Fortunately 

for the operator, most 

“farm wrecks” involve various degrees 

of severity of damage to the 

piece of farm machinery being 

used, but not to the person at the 

controls. I can attest to this as I 

had several “farm wrecks” while 

growing up and working for neighbors 

in my college years, yet remained 

relatively unscathed in 

terms of personal injury. 

I can also agree with Ryan’s observation 

of his father’s lack of 

yelling, screaming, chewing out 

and belittling of the “wrecker”, in 

that such actions were about as effective 

as yelling at cattle. I know 

I deserved a good tongue lashing 

after some of my wrecks, and 

dreaded how bad I might get it 

when the manager assessed the 

damage. I don’t recall any severe 

belittling for my casualties, but do 

remember a variety of reactions. I 

didn’t enjoy any of them, but the 

ones farthest from the yelling, 

screaming and belittling end of the 

spectrum motivated me to do better 

in the future much more than 

the agitated ones. 

Unfortunately too many “farm 

wrecks” do involve personal injury 

or much worse. While the farm 

manager/owner cannot control all 

of the unsafe acts their employees 

do, they can remove stress by 

treating their help fairly and with 

respect, maintain their equipment 

and facilities with safety in mind, 

provide safety instruction and encourage 

safe work habits. 

Four good ideas to control or reduce 

accidents are: 1. If possible, 

remove the hazard, 2. If you cannot 

remove the hazard, guard it, 3. 

Educate the worker, and 4. Protect 

the worker. 

Nic Uilk, Instructor in the Ag 

and Biosystems Engineering Department 

at SDSU, coordinated 

and taught the HOSTA program 

and did a great job of informing 

the eight youth in attendance 

about the potential perils of working 

on a farm or ranch. Nic plans 

to hold a series of HOSTA programs 

next year at various locations 

around the state. Fourteen 

and fifteen year old youth who 

plan to work on a farm other than 

for their parents need to complete 

the requirements for a HOSTA certificate. 

Somewhat younger and 

older youth, and those who will be 

working for their parents are also 

welcome to attend. For more information
