Your newspaper will be there for you
by Ron Dzwonkowski
Your newspaper will be there
for you.
A simple statement, but let’s
break it down a bit.
Your newspaper … That’s right,
all yours, assembled just for you,
tailored to where you live, emphasizing
the things that affect you,
keeping track of the people and
players in your community. Your
newspaper is put together by people
in a newsroom that was built
for you, where people work to supply
information that matters to
you, from the details of that crash
you passed by on Tuesday to biographies
of the candidates for your
school board to notices of what’s on
sale at your local supermarket.
…Will be there for you. Be
where? On your porch, in your
mail, at your convenience store
and, yeah, sometimes in your
bushes. But also at your township
hall, inside your local police
department, attending your city
council meeting, watching your
elections. It will be where you
can’t, paying attention, keeping
watch, asking questions, making
the record public.
And you can take it wherever
Would you recognize?…

“A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries
up the bones.”
Proverbs 17:22
A psychologist at Harvard University
discovered that watching
uplifting movies helps raise the
body's production of antibodies.
IN contrast, watching films with
lots of violence and evil causes
the number of antibodies to drop.
Since antibodies help fight off
infection, it seems important
that we focus on what's good, as
opposed to what's evil.
In his book of wisdom, Solomon
reminds us that “a cheerful
heart is good medicine, but a
you’re going without worrying
about battery life or Wi-Fi connections.
Some say newspapers are
dying, that people get their news
today from the Internet, TV and
radio. But where do the Internet,
TV and radio get their news? From
the newsrooms of America’s newspapers,
large and small, which
still encompass the nation’s
largest newsgathering force.
Other information providers may
add opinion, pictures or sound, but
most of the time, the facts begin in
the newsrooms of newspapers,
where journalists are there for
you, cultivating sources, combing
through records, asking tough
questions.
A few generations back, TV and
radio were supposed to be the
death of newspapers. Instead, they
were catalysts for newspapers to
dig further, to offer context, analysis,
perspective and storytelling
that the electronic media couldn’t
deliver. TV and radio didn’t kill
newspapers; they made them
deeper, smarter and more thoughtful.
For about a generation now, the
Internet has supposedly been driving
newspapers into extinction.

Pray
crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
It's not easy to always be cheerful
in a world where sin runs rampant.
We see what sin does in our
live s and in the lives of others.
We ask with St. Paul: “Who will
rescue me from this body of
death/” But we exclaim with
thanksgiving as did Paul,
“Thanks be to God --- through
Jesus Christ our Lord...the law of
the Spirit of life set me free from
the law of sin and death.”
(Romans 7:24-25, 8:2)
What kinds of things do you
watch on TV or at the movie theater?
Things that cheer you or
that crush you? St. Paul summarizes
the truth of Solomon in
Nope. It’s just given their newsrooms
another platform to deliver
journalism that now includes
videos, interactive graphics and
access to informational archives
built for years by … Guess which
medium?
Unlike websites and bloggers,
newspapers are fixtures in their
communities. Most of them were
around long before personal computers
and smart-phone apps,
chronicling life, dissecting trends
and exposing things that needed
some air. And unlike less-established
media, their newsrooms
operate with standards and ethics
intended to assure the credibility
of the information they deliver.
They don’t just make the record;
they protect it, too. It’s a responsibility,
a trust, a duty.
And while newspapers and
their newsrooms have always broken
stories, the Internet has now
enabled them to cover breaking
news, too, with reporting that goes
directly up on-line — just as soon
as it meets those newsroom standards.
So the evolution continues.
But the mission remains the
same: To be there. For you.
Because it’s your newspaper.

another way: “Finally, brothers
(and sisters) whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, what
ever is lovely, whatever is
admirable --- if anything is
excellent or praiseworthy ---
think about such things. Whatever
you learned or received or

put it into practice. And the God
of peace will be with you.”
(Philippians 4:8-9)
We pray; Dear Lord Heavenly
Father, through faith in Jesus
Christ, we have every reason for
a cheerful heart. Thank You.
Amen.
Joyce F. Dykema
Joyce Finck Dykema was born
to Waldo and Clara (Jordan) Finck
on February 12, 1933 in Okaton,
South Dakota.
Joyce married Herman “Boyd”
Dykema on November 27, 1953,
and to this union three daughters
were born, Sherry, Cindy and
Lora.
Joyce loved life and was known
for her fun personality. Joyce especially
loved to tease the kids and
they loved to tease her back. Those
same kids, and you know who you
are, would scare her knowing how
jumpy she was. Adults and kids
alike made a special stop at Joyce’s
Margaret Roghair
Margaret Alice (Peggy) Roghair
was born to Frank Henry and
Crystal Swearingen Bowder October
14, 1916 in Timber Lake. She
was the third of seven children.
She died in Coos Bay, Ore., September
20, 2012.
With a two-year certificate from
Northern State Teacher’s College,
she began teaching primary school
in Okaton in 1940. There she met
Obituaries
house at Halloween, with lights
and siren (and you know who you
are) for her popcorn balls. Joyce
also made the best bread and
chocolate fudge and she often
shared her baked goods with family
and friends. Crocheting was a
pastime for Joyce and she enjoyed
sharing her handiwork.
Joyce loved going to bowling
tournaments except for the times
her partners angered her and
embarrassed her (and you know
who you are).
Joyce had many talents and she
used these in several of the jobs
she performed throughout the
years. She especially like working
at Dean’s Market where she could
be found by the sound of her whistle.
She always said there was no
song she just liked to whistle.
Joyce has done everything from
driving combines at harvest, driving
semi-trucks long haul, to milking
cows, ironing, baking doughnuts,
and loved painting apartments.
You would often find Joyce
whistling, whether she was at
work or at play. This reflected
Joyce’s love for life. Joyce will be
missed by her family and many
friends.

The South Dakota Fire Marshal’s
Office is reinstating the
Firefighter Essentials Grant Program,
which will help fund 13
training programs across the
state.
Fire Marshal Paul Merriman
said the program was eliminated
for lack of funds in 2010. To reinstate
the program, a portion of the
revenue from the Fire Safe Cigarette
fund is being set aside. The
money will help defray expenses
such as books, manuals and
instructor fees that fire departments
will incur when they host a
Firefighter Essentials class. The
Fire Marshal’s Office is committing
$750 to each of 13 classes.
“It is vital for our firefighters to
remain current in training and
education,’’ Merriman said. “We’re
pleased to be able to reinstate
some funding for these classes.’’
The funding is from fees paid by
cigarette manufacturers to the fire
safety standard act fund, created
by the 2009 Legislature. The fund
provides revenue to administer the
fire-safe cigarette law, as well as to
support fire safety and education
programs.
Fire Departments interested in
receiving a training grant are
asked to contact the State Fire
Marshal’s Office at (605) 773-3562.
Survivors include three daughters
Sherry Philips and her husband
Bill of Murdo, Lora Gibbs
and her husband Brett of
Audobon, Iowa, and Cindy Jost
and her husband Mike of Murdo;
four grandchildren, Brooke and
Susie Jost, and Georgie and Billy
Gibbs; one brother Kenny Finck of

Seated In Heaven
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
God sees every believer in Christ as already in heaven. See what the Bible says about this:
“BUT GOD, WHO IS RICH IN MERCY, FOR HIS GREAT LOVE WHEREWITH HE LOVED US,
“EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN SINS, HATH QUICKENED US TOGETHER WITH CHRIST (BY GRACE YE ARE SAVED),
“AND HATH RAISED US UP TOGETHER AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS:
“THAT IN THE AGES TO COME HE MIGHT SHOW THE EXCEEDING RICHES OF HIS GRACE IN HIS KINDNESS TOWARD US THROUGH
CHRIST JESUS” (Eph. 2:4-7).
Most sincere believers, poorly taught in the Word, are concerned about getting to heaven, but as far as God is concerned they are already there. They
have been “made accepted in the Beloved” (Eph. 1:6). God has given them a position “in Christ.”
We are well aware that most of God’s people know little about this experientially, but God says that as far as He is concerned, they are already in heaven,
and this is what matters. As Christ took our place on Calvary’s cross, God now sees us in Christ, at His own right hand, the place of favor and honor.
This is why the Apostle Paul says to believers in Christ:
“IF YE THEN BE RISEN WITH CHRIST, SEEK THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE ABOVE, WHERE CHRIST SITTETH ON THE RIGHT HAND
OF GOD.
“SET YOUR AFFECTION ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON THINGS ON THE EARTH.
“FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD” (Col. 3:1-3).
And all this by the free grace of God:
“WHO HATH SAVED US, AND CALLED US WITH AN HOLY CALLING, NOT ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS
OWN PURPOSE AND GRACE, WHICH WAS GIVEN US IN CHRIST JESUS BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN” (II Tim. 1:9).
Our hearts go out to those of our readers who have not yet received this “gift of the grace of God.” “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
be saved” (Acts 16:31).
