Robyn JonesThe Kadoka Area School Board

held their monthly meeting onWednesday, May 13. Board mem-bers in attendance were RossBlock, Dale Christensen, KenLensegrav, Mark DeVries, DawnRasmussen, and Dan VanderMay.Mark Williams was absent.

Superintendent Jamie Her-mann gave an update on summerprojects that will be done. At theInterior School a new suspendedceiling will be installed, along withrepairing some windows. At Mid-land the kitchen will be movedfrom the smaller building into themain building. Long Valley hasseveral repairs to be done, includ-ing renovating the bathrooms.

“Our main issue at Kadoka isdeciding what to do with the roof,”stated Hermann. “When we ar-rived at school on Monday follow-ing the snow, we found a majorleak from a tear on the south por-tion of the roof.”

Currently a company is workingon the north side of the roof repair-ing damage caused by the hailstorm. The tear in the roof is be-lieved to be caused by wind and aclaim has been submitted to theinsurance company, although areply has not been receivedwhether it would be covered or

not.Quotes were received from Joe

Handrahan Construction to paintthe Interior School at an approxi-mate amount of $25,000 and anaddition to the Long Valley Schoolat an estimated amount of$150,000. The addition would be30’x60’ and include two class-rooms.

The consensus of the board wasto wait on painting the InteriorSchool until the roof issue atKadoka was fixed and requestmore details on the addition atLong Valley.

A preliminary budget for the2015-2016 school term was pre-sented to the board. The budgetcan not be finalized until the prop-erty valuations are received fromthe Director of Equalization,which have been requested. Titlefunding has been decreased andspecial education funding has in-creased some.

Handbook changes were pre-sented for review. The policy com-mittee will meet to review theheadlice policy to determine howto properly handle the issue ofdealing with nits or headlice.

A Proud Week ForSouth Dakota

This past week has shown us,yet again, why we can be proud tobe South Dakotans.

On Friday, May 8, our state wel-comed President Barack Obama toWatertown. Linda and I were hon-ored to greet the President at theairport and to join his motorcade ashe rode to the Civic Arena. Thou-sands of people lined the entirefour-mile route – waving, cheeringand holding American flags. Mem-bers of the national media whotravel with the President com-mented on the impressive display.

It was all the more impressivebecause, based on election returns,many of those who turned out prob-ably don’t support PresidentObama politically. But this was nota day for politics – it was a day forpatriotism. We welcomed our na-tion’s President to South Dakota,and I was proud of the receptionand the respect Watertown showed.

President Obama delivered thecommencement address at LakeArea Technical Institute and recog-

nized LATI as one of the nation’sbest two-year institutions. Hisspeech focused on several of thegraduates who had faced adversityand had come to LATI to seek a bet-ter life. The President recognizedthe values of hard work and self-re-liance that make South Dakota agreat state. All across SouthDakota on that same weekend,thousands of hard-working stu-dents celebrated a successful col-lege graduation, in a similar way.

On Sunday morning, I was backin Pierre. Our family was enjoyinga Mother’s Day brunch afterchurch. In Delmont, families weredoing much the same – spendingtime with friends and family. Then,out of nowhere, a tornado camefrom the south and tore throughthe west side of town.

I arrived in Delmont mid-after-noon. The devastation and destruc-tion were even worse than hadbeen reported. Dozens of homeswere damaged, along with the city’sbrand-new fire hall and the beauti-ful Zion Lutheran Church. I wassaddened by the great loss of prop-erty, but grateful that no one was

killed or critically injured.And, once again, I was inspired

by the people of South Dakota. Del-mont’s citizens joined together tohelp their neighbors. Local officialsset aside their personal losses to co-ordinate the city’s response. Withthe Delmont fire hall destroyed,firemen from Armour and Trippcame to Delmont’s aid. Power lines-men were immediately on thescene, working to restore power.The people of Delmont began toclean up their city and comfortthose who suffered losses.

Yet again, the worst of MotherNature brought out the best inSouth Dakota. Just as we’ve seenagain and again – during the Mis-souri and Big Sioux River floods,Winter Storm Atlas, and the Wess-ington Springs tornado – SouthDakotans stepped up to help theirneighbors.

In South Dakota, we love ourcountry. We work hard to advanceourselves. And we step up to helpour neighbors when disasterstrikes. That’s why this week mademe proud, still again, to be a SouthDakotan.

Reliable, Affordable Energy

Last summer, the Environmen-tal Protection Agency (EPA) re-leased a proposed rule to reducecarbon emissions from existingpower plants. Self-titled the “CleanPower Plan,” the rule would re-quire power plants across the coun-try to comply with costly new rulesand regulations that would reduceenergy production and raise elec-tricity rates – with little environ-mental benefit. South Dakotanscould see their electricity rates dou-ble due to the Clean Power Plan.For those of us who oppose highertaxes and believe in a comprehen-sive “North American” energy pol-icy, stopping the Clean Power Planis an important first step.

As a member of the Senate En-vironment and Public Works Com-mittee, which has jurisdiction overEPA, I recently joined my col-leagues in introducing bipartisanlegislation to roll back the Presi-dent’s Clean Power Plan. The Af-fordable Reliable Energy Now Act(ARENA) would make certain con-sumers have reliable and afford-able access to energy, put jobs andour economy first and curb federaloverreach. It would protectratepayers from rate increases andprevent EPA from enforcing overlyburdensome regulations on Ameri-can consumers. It would also force

EPA to submit a report to Congressdescribing the quantity of green-house gas emissions the CleanPower Plan is expected to reduce,as well as show the science used todevelop the rule.

Most importantly, ARENA wouldgive states more flexibility if theClean Power Plan is enacted by al-lowing them more time to complywith the regulations. It would alsoforce EPA to issue state-specificmodel plans demonstrating howeach state could meet the requiredemissions reductions under therule. State highway funds wouldalso be protected in our bill by pre-venting EPA from withholding thehighway funds from any states whoare in noncompliance.

In South Dakota, the CleanPower Plan threatens the existenceof the only coal-fired power plant inSouth Dakota at Big Stone, whichis already in the midst of a $400million compliance upgrade. If theproposal is enacted, Big Stonewould only be allowed to operate atan annual capacity factor of just 23percent, which is both uneconomi-cal and practically impossible. Thiswould essentially shut down theplant, all while it’s in the middle of

a major, expensive upgrade to com-ply with a different set of EPA reg-ulations.

Not only does this threaten thenearly 100 jobs at Big Stone, but itwould increase energy costs forSouth Dakotans and reduce energyreliability. The hundreds of mil-lions of dollars currently being in-vested to comply with EPA ruleswould be a stranded investment.

Americans must continue tohave access to reliable, affordableenergy. People deserve to knowthat their homes will be heated inSouth Dakota’s freezing cold win-ters, and that their lights will turnon when they flip the switch. TheARENA legislation would help pro-vide peace of mind for ratepayers.It would provide reliable energy topower South Dakota’s agriculturaland manufacturing industries. Italso goes one step further in limit-ing the number of burdensome, un-necessary regulations imposed notby lawmakers, but by unelected bu-reaucrats at the EPA. MajorityLeader Mitch McConnell has indi-cated his interest in bringingARENA to the Senate floor for con-sideration. I look forward to havingthat debate.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Silly me. I thought garages werefor vehicles and the housingthereof. That is sometimes thecase, but other times it isn’t.Garages tend to collect so much ofthe flotsam and jetsam of life thatthe poor car or pickup may have totake its lumps outside in the rain,snow and wind. Fortunately, mod-ern vehicles stand up pretty well tothe elements except probably forlarge hail, but somehow it justseems wrong for them to be dis-placed by what is probably more orless junk.

At the moment, there is stillroom in our garages for vehicles al-though they are generally sur-rounded by such things as adefunct freezer or kitchen range.Five-gallon pails are in quantitysince you never know when you’llneed one of those around to carrywater or dirt. There is even an oldwooden icebox in the corner thatantique people hunger for but havenever been able to pry out of mygrasp despite my disinclination todo much with it. It is just a re-minder of former days, and I like itsitting there. Actually the worn-outfreezer is okay too although it hasno emotional ties. It provides goodstorage space for oil and such alongwith a large selection of unusedglass canning jars.

Hanging on the wall are the iceskates for the whole family al-though I don’t remember Mom everhaving her white ones on exceptmaybe once. I wore hers for a fewyears until I outgrew them, butthey weren’t a quality pair by anymeans. The odds of anyone ever

using them again is next to nil, butthey still hang there for some weirdreason. Below them is a large selec-tion of old tires that might in apinch be good enough to be used ona piece of farm equipment, butthere are more of them in residencethan are ever likely to be used.There used to be an old waterheater in the corner, but that fi-nally went to the dump since noone seemed able to envision anypossible use for it ever again.

Closets, apparently, are some-what similar to garages in theirability to collect junk. Mine stillhas room for my clothes, fortu-nately, but they are kept companythere by some spare computer sup-plies, an extra computer monitor,printer cartridges, and who knowswhat all. My stock of chocolate isthere and an old electric typewriterthat no longer works. I’m not quitesure what is lurking in the far cor-ners.

Probably the worst repository forstuff, however, is the basement ifyou have one. Gravity seems tosuck everything downward includ-ing all the materials of life thataren’t currently needed. My folks’old basement, for instance, holdstons of papers that Dad collectedand Mom’s sewing and handiworksupplies. Dad and Mom have bothbeen gone for a number of years,but no one yet has decided what todo with all their leftovers. Ourbasement is no better, being amplysupplied with old books, everyimaginable tool and repair for thehousehold, and boxes and boxes ofpapers.

I noted, when I stayed with myAunt Bessie for a bit in a suburb of

Los Angeles, that she didn’t have abasement so she converted her nar-row little garage into a substitute.She had one of her sons install floorto ceiling shelves on which shestored all the supplies for her manyhandiwork enterprises. She did em-broidery, knitting, quilting andeven had several looms for makingafghans and whatnot. She madepillows, too, and had stuffing forthem. Her garage was completelyfull which was fine since she didn’tdrive and had no car. When, in herlast few years, she moved to a smallapartment, I have no idea how herkids dealt with all her stuff, but I’msure it was quite a job. Most of itwas too good to be simply tossed inthe dumpster, but how exactly doyou get rid of it otherwise?

Oddly enough, barns don’t seemto collect much junk. That is prob-ably because livestock will sooneror later tromp it underfoot so mostpeople know better than to put itthere in the first place. Ours hassome harness gear hanging on thewall that hasn’t been used for overfifty years, but otherwise theredoesn’t seem to be much of abuildup of other things.

At this point, I should probablyprofess a burning desire to get ridof all those excess and unneededmaterials currently taking upspace in the garage, closets andbasement. I maybe should, but I’mnot going to. As long as there is stillroom for the car and pickup, myclothes, etc., why get myself all in afuss? I might throw out that use-less typewriter in the closet,though. I guess that’s kind of astart.

What I Admire inMy Daughter

We’ve watched a lot of old familyvideos these last few weeks as weprepared for Kennedy to graduate.It’s been a special opportunity tosee who she is – who she has al-ways been. She never seemed tomind her older sister telling herwhat to do. She’d let other kids ather birthday parties open her pres-ents and play with the gifts – evenif she hadn’t had the chance to yet.We saw her helping her cousins upwhen they fell and faithfully an-swering the questions we askedwith the sweetest lisp and acrooked smile.

I distinctly remember a daywhen Kennedy was five. I took herto a friend’s house in rural Ray-mond to look at a couple horses forher and her older sister Kassidy.Kass returned home that day withDunny – and Kenners was left withLoosey. When we pushed Kennedyup on the horse’s back, her littlelegs barely hung over Loosey’ssides and even if Kennedy hung offthe saddle horn, her feet were stilla good two feet from the ground.But she didn’t seem to mind.

Kennedy gave Loosey a kick anda cluck, but Loosey just laid down.I ran over to pull Kennedy offLoosey’s back as she went downand I remember getting this coldfeeling in my stomach. “Oh great,”I thought. “Now, I have a five-year-

old problem horse for my five-year-old little girl.”

Kennedy didn’t hesitate though.She got right back on the horse,gave her another kick, and off theyloped across the arena.

A few years later, Kennedy wasriding the horse in a rodeo and awoman came up and asked, “Is thatLoosey?” I said that it was and thewoman proceeded to tell me thatthey had tried Loosey out too, butfound her far too ornery. She spokeabout several other families whoalso gave the horse a chance, butnone of them worked out either.Then, she said, “Well, I guessLoosey found her girl.” She wasright.

The strength and determinationKennedy displayed that first daywith Loosey is the way I hope eachof my kids approach the challengesthey face in life. Brush yourself offand climb back on.

It’s an attitude we’ve seenreprise many times throughoutKennedy’s life – and something Igreatly admire in her.

Kennedy’s athletic career hasnot been without its own chal-lenges. Even after breaking herfoot and knocking out her frontteeth, she has been committed topursuing her passion for basket-ball. Her biggest athletic challengecame last year when she fracturedher back during a game. The breakwas bad enough that it requiredsurgery, four days in the hospital,

and several more weeks in a hospi-tal bed in our living room. She waslimited to months of no activity – ahard ask for a girl who rarely stopsmoving.

By the time her senior basket-ball season came around, the doc-tors had cleared her to play – solong as there was limited contact.I’d wondered if the doctors had everwatched a basketball game.

There were many times this sea-son where Kennedy had to fightthrough the pain, but the doctorssaid she’d be alright so we let herpush on. Then came one of themost exciting days of Kennedy’shigh school career – the day shelearned the University of SiouxFalls coach was saving a spot onthe basketball team for her. Thatsame patient determination thatshe had with Loosey all those yearsago carried her through the backinjury and onto a college team –just like she dreamed of. It makesa mom proud.

As we prepare for Kennedy toleave for college – and for us to beleft alone with Loosey – I can’t helpbut find a deep love and apprecia-tion for that horse. After all, it wasLoosey who put Kennedy to the testand my little girl showed a level ofdetermination that I’m confidentcan carry her through anything lifethrows at her.

Congratulations on your gradu-ation, Kennedy. Dad and I are soproud of you.

A reception washeld on Friday at the Johnstonranch which was attended by thebrothers and sisters and lots ofother relatives and friends. Jenny’sgrandmothers, Marcella Svenson ofRapid and Mary Johnston, werethere along with Jo’s sisters, Char-lotte of Huron, and Virginia Conleeof Black Hawk, and Larry’s brother,Lonny. It was a good day to cele-brate lots of things including thehigh school graduation of Lonna’sson, Wylie Livermont, from MartinHigh School. He and Jenny areabout the same age, but Jenny isWylie’s aunt, not his cousin.Laramie too had just graduatedfrom college so that was celebrated,and Cora Jo’s son, Celton, observedhis first birthday. Larry said it wasthe first time all of Jo and his kidshad been able to get together at thesame time for fourteen years, andthat was nice. Sonya Addison cameover and took some pictures so thetime together could be remem-bered. The country roads to theranch were not that great on Fri-day, but people somehow managedto navigate them successfully andshow up.

On Saturday, Larry and MaryJohnston drove to Martin for themorning high school graduation ofWylie Livermont. Then they had tohurry back to Philip for Jenny’s af-ternoon graduation. Many of thepeople who attended the receptionon Friday went to Jenny’s gradua-tion as well. By Sunday evening,things had quieted down at theJohnston’s. Everyone had goneother places except for grandsonCelton who was going to stay on afew days. Larry said their calving iswinding down pretty much now,but somehow three calves managedto be born on Sunday morning askind of an anticlimax.

Kirby Schofield took in gradua-

tion at Philip on Saturday sinceneighbor Jenny was graduating aswas a nephew of his. Some recep-tions were attended afterwards.Kirby said their roads have notbeen fun to drive on during the wetweather, but it is nice to have themoisture anyway. Calving andchores are the main activities.Nancy Schofield has been workingin Pierre but usually has Mondayoff so she can come home for a fewdays at the end of each week.

Dave and Jean Calhoon werevisited for dinner on Sunday byJean’s mom and sister, Marie Addi-son of Murdo and Beryl Geer ofGillette, WY. Beryl had been here afew days visiting Marie. She hadplanned to come for Mother’s Day,but that had been prevented by theheavy snows last weekend. Asusual, Beryl helped play for churchin Belvidere before heading to Cal-hoon’s for dinner. Dave said hethought he might miss being theDirector of Equalization in Murdowhen he quit there in 2008, but he’sbeen able to stay busy enough athome to prevent that. Jean mostlyquit traveling around as a nurseout of the Philip clinic and hospitalback in November so Dave and shehave been hanging out more to-gether at home since then.

Jean Laughton said she and LyleO’Bryan have been keeping an eyeon the nearby White River which iswanting to flood some. It wasn’tdoing too badly on Sunday evening,but a rise was somewhat expected.Jean said an exhibition of herranching and cowboy photographswill be opening this week at agallery in Manhattan. It will runfor several months. Many of thesame panoramic photos wereshown at the Dahl Fine Art Centerin Rapid a while ago. Anyone want-ing to see some of Jean’s work can

find it on the Internet at jean-laughton.com. The photos on dis-play in New York will include suchlocal guys as Bax Badure, WadeFox, Charlie Fortune, Paul Scherfand others. Jean said that a friendwho is a photographer from NewYork came to the ranch this week totake some firsthand pictures at abranding, but that was rained out.Instead, Lyle coached him in someof the finer points of roping whichboth guys enjoyed.

Abby Carlson said calving is al-most done at their place now. Theirbranding was rained out as havevarious other brandings in thearea, but Colter has rescheduledtheirs for Monday if that works out.There young daughter, Sutton, isabout six-weeks old now and hashad kind of a rocky start with quitea bit of time spent in the hospital.She is home now, but needs to go toRapid for an MRI on Wednesday tosee what further needs to be done.

John Dolezal said their calving iswinding down finally. He still needsto keep on top of it however. He alsosaid the roads around there havebeen so bad lately due to the rainand snow that a person is practi-cally worn out before finally gettingto the pavement.

Chuck Fortune said he is lookingfor some new shoes since his oldones got sucked off by knee-deepmud the other day. He has decidedto lace his new ones tighter in thefuture to avoid a recurrence of this.Roads out Fortune’s way aren’t toobad according to Chuck. They arepassable using just two-wheel driveif you go fast through the bad spots.

Lee Addison and Rhonda Terk-ildsen were visited this weekend byRhonda’s grandson, Tyce Amiotte,from over Norris way. Tyce just fin-ished first grade. His mom, Pam,reclaimed him on Sunday.

Spud Creek Rodeo Company,Dave and Nate Morrison, will beproducing the Badlands StacheBronc & Bull Bash at the rodeoarena in Interior, SD, on Sunday,May 31. This is a unique eventand will be the first of its kind inSouth Dakota. All contestantscompeting in the bareback riding,saddle bronc riding, and bull rid-ing, must have a mustache inorder to compete and are re-quested to dress in 60s, 70s, and80s retro western attire.

The purpose of this event is tohave a throwback good time and toremember the way rodeo used tobe. Plenty of laughs will be in storeas buckles will be awarded for the“King of the Stache” (best mus-tache) and for the “Best Dressed”(best retro outfit). These two buck-les are up for grabs to all in atten-dance. Spectators are eligible towin, so wax those stache’s andcome dressed to impress.

According to Nate Morrison,“Mustache May has always been afun thing for rodeo cowboys to jokearound with amongst each other,so I figured producing an eventlike this on the last day of Mus-tache May would attract some con-testants.” Attract it did as 60mustache wearing contestantshave entered from six differentstates to compete in bareback, sad-

dle bronc and bull riding at the In-terior Rodeo Arena for customizedStache Bash championship buck-les, prize money, and braggingrights.

The featured event of the daywill be the entertaining “StacheBash Bull Scramble”. The buckingchutes will be filled with six bullsand riders. At the sound of thehorn, all six bulls and riders willbe released into the arena at thesame time. At the sound of theeight second horn, whoever is lefton a bull, that didn't get buckedoff, must grab their bull rope andrace back to the bucking chute.The first rider back to the chuteswith rope in hand will be theStache Bash Bull Scramble Cham-pion. You will not want to missseeing this event in person!

The day’s activities will also in-clude a Cowboy Church service atthe Interior Arena starting at10:00 a.m. Music will be providedby Dave Morrison and Brett Bur-ress. The roughstock rodeo actionwill start after church at around11:30 to 12:00.

Come to Interior on Sunday,May 31 for a throwback good time!Bring your camera! Admission:adults $10.00, $5.00 for children12 and under. Concessions will beavailable.

The Kadoka Alumni Associa-tion’s goal to display pictures ofthe graduating classes at theKadoka City Auditorium is stillprogressing. Several class pic-tures (as pictured at the left)have been made, but severalmore are needed to be done.

During the war group pictureswere not taken during 1944, 1945and 1946, but the group is re-questing that if you have a pic-ture during that time to pleasecontact Nona Prang or Thesa Ire-land.

To help with the cost of the pic-ture display and making thecopies of the pictures, scarves arebeing sold. The scarves had beenmade and donated by Shirley(Collins) Friedman who was amember of the Class of 1950. Thescarves (as pictured on the right)are on display at Aw!

Wall Hosts “Small Businessis Everyone’s Business”

Conference Wall hosted the “Small Busi-

ness is Everyone’s Business” Con-ference on April 24 with 15 peoplein attendance. This conferencewas held at six school sites via theDDN system in South Dakota withover 60 participants from acrossthe state.

The conference was held to helpcommunity members think abouthow to foster entrepreneurial de-velopment in their communities. Dell Gines, Senior Community De-velopment Advisor from the Fed-eral Reserve Bank of Kansas Citywas the first speaker. Dell sug-gested that we become job cre-ators. Small businesses are thebusinesses that create jobs. Dellshared that 98% of all firms in theUnited States have 99 or feweremployees. Leadership is also veryimportant in our small communi-ties – both formal and informalleadership. Leadership can be thedifference between why some com-munities make it and some don’t.To grow their communities, Dellencouraged those in attendance touse a network-based model of:Capital, Capability, Connection,Culture and Climate.

Craig Schroeder, representingthe Center for Rural Entrepre-neurship in Lincoln, NE, focusedon how to engage young peopleduring his afternoon presentation.He shared that newcomers to ourcommunities are seeking a highquality of life as the number onepriority. He suggested that we willhave more luck recruiting thosewho grew up in rural SouthDakota to return. Craig also saidthat our vocational agricultureand family consumer science class-rooms could become community“maker spaces.” Community mem-bers and students would be able towork together in these spaces todevelop business ideas and pro-mote apprenticeships. Craig’s re-search shows that half of all youngpeople picture themselves living in

the area of their hometown in thefuture. If a rural community canattract back 10-20% of high schoolgraduates, the community can betransformed. He reminds us thatyoung people are 100% of our fu-ture and we need to start workingwith our youth now to build astrong foundation.

In addition to the speakers,each site hosted a panel discussionto share information of what iscurrently happening in the area aswell as resources that may beavailable to entrepreneurs. Pan-elists in Wall included HettiCekalla, USDA Rural Develop-ment, Rapid City; Marty Huether,Mayor of Wall; Marcella Hurley,Small Business Development Cen-ter, Pierre; and Kent Jordan, FirstInterstate Bank, Wall.

The day ended with communitydiscussions so participants couldplan additional steps to help pro-mote entrepreneurship in theircommunities. As Craig Schroedersaid, “The opportunity is enor-mous. We are all ambassadors forour communities.”

The conference was sponsored

by SDSU Extension, USDA RuralDevelopment, West River Electricand the REED (Rural Electric Eco-nomic Development, Inc.) Fund.

As a follow- up to “Small Busi-ness is Everybody’s Business”,SDSU Extension, along withNDSU Extension and Universityof Nebraska-Lincoln Extension,has developed a program calledMarketing Hometown America.Marketing Hometown Americaempowers communities to create avision to grow. This program wasrecognized as the National Inno-vative Program by the CommunityDevelopment Society and the Na-tional Excellence in TeamworkAward by the National Associationof Community Development Ex-tension Professionals.

Fire! On the prairie, it was a monsterof destruction without pity, con-suming everything before it. “Every spear of hay which thefarmers had gathered for winterfeed is gone, the corn fields are allpractically ruined and it is probablethat the cattle which were savedwill now have to be sold, as it willbe impossible for the farmers to buyall their feed,” stated an article inthe Aberdeen Weekly about aprairie fire that swept throughwestern Brown County on Nov. 15,1905, laying ruin to an area about20 miles long and five miles wide. The front of a fire was called a“headfire,” according to “Sheldon’sHistory and Stories of Nebraska.” Itran with the wind across miles ofprairie, jumping fireguards andeven rivers. Behind it the prairieroared and crackled, resembling alake of fire with a cloud of smokerising above it. A high wind usuallyaccompanied the fire, causing theflames to spread rapidly. The heatcreated a powerful current of airthat rushed toward the blaze andsucked everything with it. Abbie Jarvis, her husbandMatthew and their two sons cameto Redfield, Dakota Territory, in1880. They later homesteaded nearRedfield and Faulkton. One hotsummer day, the winds came out ofthe west and nearly blew over theirshanty. Right behind the windcame the flames of a prairie fire.Jarvis’s father had given her asewing machine, and she was de-termined to save it. She draggedthe sewing machine to plowedground and covered it with a pieceof old carpet soaked in water. Thesewing machine was saved. Settlers often built what wascalled a fireguard around theirbuildings by breaking a narrowstrip of sod, and at some distanceinside of that, breaking anothernarrow strip and then burning thegrass between the strips. Thiswould stop most common fires andkeep the settler’s home and barnsafe. Fire fighting fire was anothercommon way to stop a prairie fire.A counter-fire or back-fire was lit.When the prairie fire reached theburnt area, it ran out of fuel andgrew less until it finally died away,or skirted the two ends of the back-fire and continued its destruction. Ike Blasingame recalled howcowboys working for large cattlecompanies in western South

Dakota in the early 1900s com-bated prairie fires in “Dakota Cow-boy.” The chuck wagon was sent tothe nearest stream so the waterbarrels hanging on each side couldbe filled, then the chuck wagonrushed to the men beating at theburning grass with saddle blan-kets, coats or anything else thatwas available. Cowboys used horsesto pull fire drags made of steelchains and 12-foot asbestos sheets.“It took the combined efforts of sixsaddle horses to move them. Sogreat was the strain, and so foamy-hot would our horses get that wehad to change these heaving-flankmounts for fresh ones every twohours,” Blasingame wrote. In “Land of the Burnt Thigh,”Edith Eudora Kohl wrote how sheand her sister, Ida Mary, werehomesteading near the LowerBrule Reservation in 1909, whenprairie fires began to break out allaround the area. “The homesteaders began to beafraid to leave their shacks for fearthey would find them gone on theirreturn. Ammunition for the fightwas pitifully meager. They foughtwith plows that turned firebreaks,back-fired to stop the progress ofthe fire, beat it out with their wetsacks,” Kohl wrote. One afternoon she and Ida Marysmelled smoke. Their claim shackwas burning to the ground. “We clung to each other word-lessly. There was nothing to say.Everything that made up our dailylife and our plans for the future hadbeen wiped out in thirty minutes,”Kohl wrote. A prairie fire held no respect forcrops, livestock, buildings or peo-

ple. On April 17, 1886, BetsyDalagher and her mother saw aprairie fire coming toward theirhomestead north of Webster. Aneighbor had set fire to his sloughand strong winds caused the fire toburn out of control. The women leftthe house to release the livestockfrom the barn, but became trappedin the flaming barn. Betsy survivedby running out of the barn andjumping into a well. Her mother,though, perished in the fire, possi-bly the first person to die in aprairie fire in Dakota Territory, ac-cording to “Roadside History ofSouth Dakota” by Linda Hassel-strom. Despite the ever-present threatof danger and disappointment,many homesteaders seemed tomaintain a sense of hope. On March 24, 1910, Mrs. CliffordJencks of Brushie, S.D., located ineastern Meade County, wrote a let-ter describing how a fire estimatedat least 25 miles wide and 100miles long had swept over the area,destroying their hay and barn.“Now don’t worry over our little lossfor if it rains and sunshines, grasswill grow again and make more hayand we will fix up another barn. Aslong as we keep well we can getalong all right.” This moment in South Dakotahistory is provided by the SouthDakota Historical Society Founda-tion, the nonprofit fundraising part-ner of the South Dakota StateHistorical Society at the CulturalHeritage Center in Pierre.

The destructive power of prairie fires

South Dakota’s emergency med-ical technicians (EMTs) play a crit-ical role in the state’s health caresystem, says a state health officialas Emergency Medical ServicesWeek approaches. Gov. DennisDaugaard has proclaimed May 17-23 as Emergency Medical ServicesWeek in South Dakota. “It’s very appropriate that weset aside a week every year to rec-ognize the dedicated EMTs, manyof them volunteers, who are thefront line responders to accidents,emergencies and disasters in ourstate,” said Tom Martinec, DeputySecretary of Health. “These indi-viduals stand ready to provide life-saving care to those in need 24

hours a day, seven days a week.” South Dakota’s EMS system in-cludes 123 ground ambulanceservices, five air ambulance serv-ices and more than 3,100 EMTs.Nearly 80 percent of EMTs in thestate are volunteers. “Providingemergency care at all hours re-quires a significant time commit-ment of these individuals but theyalso need to spend considerabletime training to maintain theircertification,” said Martinec. The initial training consists ofapproximately 165 hours of class-room time, followed by national

written and practical examina-tions to become certified. Whilethe certification is good for twoyears, EMTs must also complete anational standard refresher courseof 24-48 hours along with an addi-tional 72 hours of training tomaintain national certification. Martinec noted that maintain-ing an adequate number of volun-teers is an ongoing challenge formany ambulance services, partic-ularly those in rural areas. He en-couraged South Dakotans toconsider becoming a member oftheir local ambulance services.

Summer reading program at Jackson County LibraryBe A Hero - Read This Summer

Public Libraries have been of-fering summer reading programssince the 1890s, that’s over 120years, according to the AmericanLibrary Association (ALA). Read-ing and learning experiences forchildren throughout summer vaca-tion helps to prevent summerlearning loss that they may expe-rience when school is not in ses-sion. Studies have found that theachievement gap is greater whenreading opportunities are unavail-

able. Also, reading skills loss is cu-mulative; meaning children do not“catch-up” in the fall upon returnto school.

To help avoid losing learningskills in a fun way, JacksonCounty Library will be hosting theSummer Reading Program begin-ning in June. Every Hero Has aStory is the official theme and willfeature everyday local heroes andtraditional superheroes. Therewill be storytime, educational ses-

sions and activities! Throughoutthe summer, we will be encourag-ing some heroic reading effortsand storytelling— as well as shar-ing stories about your own “per-sonal heroes”.

Programs will be held onWednesdays at 10:00 a.m. at Jack-son County Library on MainStreet, Kadoka. Children of allages are welcome to attend, bringa friend and a story! Questions?Call the library at 837-2689.

Inspiration PointWhen We Are Lonely

Hebrews 13: 1 & 2 - “Let love of the brethren continue. Do not neglect to showhospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowingit.”

God created humanity for companionship with Himself and each other. Hedoesn’t want people to suffer the emotional turmoil of loneliness. That’s why HisWord contains pledges of His constant presence as well as instructions to preventloneliness among church members. The Lord stressed His unceasing presence because He knows our need for as-surance, especially when we feel deserted or isolated. His vow never to forsakebelievers is found throughout the Bible: This comforting word was spoken toJoshua, the Israelites, and the disciples who were about to witness Jesus’ ascen-sion (Joshua 1:5; Matthew 28:20). Some biblical saints picked up the theme intheir writing as well. David often sought God’s solace (Psalms 25:16). And theapostle Paul preached that nothing compared with drawing close to Christ(Philippians 3:8). God wants every believer to trust implicitly that He is near. The church is designed to meet our need for person-to-person connection. Aspiritual body works much like a human body—parts are both independent andinterdependent, each needing others in order to function well. We require supportfrom our brothers and sisters in Christ. Knowing this, Paul admonished peopleto accept one another (Romans 15:7), bear each other’s burdens (Galatians 6:2),and avoid judging (Romans 14:13). Loneliness can cripple a person emotionally and spiritually. Human beings arenot designed to walk through this world alone. We are made for relationship,which God gladly supplies. Lest we forget that the Lord is near, He gave the Biblethis consistent theme: I love you and I am with you always.

Those Magnificent MayFlowers

The Gracious Mistress of theParsonage and I were sitting onthe back porch admiring the closeof the day. Nothing is more relax-ing than sitting together drinkingcoffee, glad that another day hasquietly slipped by.

Out of the clear blue sky mywife said, “Aren’t those flowersjust magnificent?”

I grunted a little grunt of satis-faction to which she replied,“Which do you like? The roses orthe tulips?”

As to, which flower I liked, I re-ally do not know the difference be-tween a rose and a tulip. To me aflower is either yellow or blue. Butnot so with my gardening connois-seur wife. Every flower has aname and you had better give itthe right name.

All I can say about a flower is,“That’s a pretty flower.”

When it comes to flowers, espe-cially the flowers in our backyard,my wife knows them all by nameand their history from the timethey were but a humble seed putinto the ground. Personally, I donot have the time to invest in

something like that. I find itstrange talking to a flower. Talk-ing to nuts, maybe, but not aflower.

“You should learn to appreciateflowers, especially the flowers inMay.” At this point I realized thatI was in for conversation on flow-ers, whether I wanted to converseon flowers or not.

“Don’t you remember what youwere doing in April?”

Her question caught me by sur-prise. I was not quite sure whatApril had to do with flowers in ourbackyard, but I was about to findout.

“Don’t you remember that inApril you were complaining aboutall the rain?” She said it rathersarcastically and I knew there wasa point somewhere, but I was notgetting it at this time. I did re-member complaining about therain.

“Remember that little rhymethat goes, ‘April showers bringMay flowers’? We have these mar-velous flowers in the month ofMay because of the rain in April. Ithink you need to begin to appre-ciate the rain because of what itbrings about.”

When my wife went into the

house to get some coffee, I had amoment to muse on that whole“April shower” bringing “Mayflower” idea. I must admit, there issomething to it.

When I am going through avery difficult time, I sometimeswonder what in the world is thepurpose of it all? I would like to gothrough life without any difficul-ties whatsoever. But, just likethose “April showers,” the difficul-ties in life have a purpose downthe road a bit.

The trials of life have a purposethat may not be evident at thetime, but given enough time, those“April showers” will bring some ofthose marvelous “May flowers.”

James understood this when hewrote, “My brethren, count it alljoy when ye fall into divers temp-tations;  Knowing  this, that thetrying of your faith worketh pa-tience. But let patience have herperfect work, that ye may be per-fect and entire, wanting nothing”(James 1:2-4).

When my wife came back withthe fresh coffee, I said to her, “YourMay flowers are simply spectacu-lar.” She smiled, then nodded andjust looked at her May flowers.

Uniform ActsState legislatures are free to

draft and enact laws however de-sired; for example, legislaturesmay write their own laws or per-haps look to another state’s statu-tory language for guidance. Overtime, however, lawyers and legis-lators have found it desirable forthere to be some uniformity amongstates with respect to certainareas of law. To that end, the Uni-form Law Commission (“ULC,”a/k/a the National Conference ofCommissioners of Uniform StateLaws) was created in 1892. TheULC, which is comprised oflawyers, judges, law professors,legislators and staff, strives to“provide states with non-partisan,well-conceived and well-drafted

legislation that brings clarity andstability to critical areas of statestatutory law.”

The ULC drafts laws and statu-tory schemes that establish guid-ing principles in particular areasof law, such as child custody, childsupport enforcement, probate, andcommercial transactions. In addi-tion, the ULC is vigilant in moni-toring the impact of the laws andassessing how they may be im-proved, so it frequently updates,revises, or replaces its draft laws.

Uniform Acts do not have theforce of law unless and until theyare enacted by a state’s legisla-ture. A state legislature mayadopt a Uniform Acts in whole orin part, without having to actuallydraft new legislation. This is ben-

eficial not only because it is eco-nomically efficient, but also be-cause it provides some certaintyand stability among those statesthat have adopted the particularUniform Act.

A list of all Uniform Acts is notpossible here, but some of themore notable ones include the Uni-form Commercial Code, the Uni-form Child Custody JurisdictionAct, and the Uniform ProbateCode. South Dakota adopted threelesser known uniform acts in 2014:the Uniform Real Property Elec-tronic Recording Act, the UniformDeployed Parents Custody andVisitation Act, and the UniformReal Property Transfer on DeathAct.

2015 row-crop planting inSouth Dakota began relativelyearly this spring and has pro-gressed at a rapid pace. As of May17, 46 percent of corn hademerged.

"Which is well ahead of the five-year average of 21 percent," saidJonathan Kleinjan SDSU Exten-sion Crop Production ExtensionAssociate.

Soybean emergence wasrecorded at 4 percent, only slightlyhigher than the five-year averageof 3 percent.

Kleinjan added that while earlyplanting may increase yield poten-tial, it also puts crops at risk fordamage caused by early-seasonlow temperatures. This was thecase in the early morning hours ofMay 19, when temperatures of 32degrees Fahrenheit and lowerwere observed in the central andnortheast portions of the state.

"Producers in these areas of thestate may want to evaluate indi-vidual fields for crop damage, assome locations, especially low-lying areas, may have actuallyseen lower temperatures thanthose recorded by the weather sta-tions," Kleinjan said.What is the difference be-

tween a frost and a freeze?Kleinjan explained that a frost

event occurs when the tempera-ture of the soil surface is 32 de-grees Fahrenheit or lower. While afreeze occurs when the air temper-ature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit orlower - at five feet above groundlevel. "It is important to remem-ber that, if atmospheric conditionsare right, it is possible for a frostto occur, even when air tempera-tures are slightly higher thanfreezing," Kleinjan said.

He added that while a mildfrost should cause minimal dam-age to young crops, a hard freezeof 28 degrees Fahrenheit or colderfor two hours, will most likely belethal.

"The growing point for cornplants remain below the soil sur-face until the V6 growth stage, atwhich point the plant is approxi-mately 1-foot in height, and is gen-erally considered safe fromfreezing air temperatures," Klein-jan said.

However, he said if air temper-atures remain below 28 degreesFahrenheit for more than a fewhours, the growing point may beinjured or killed regardless.Soybeans are at greater riskKleinjan added that soybeans

are more likely to be damaged bylow temperatures due to the factthat the growing point is aboveground as soon as the cropemerges. "The soybean plant de-velops axillary buds at each leafnode, including the cotyledons," hesaid. "If any of these buds survivea low temperature event, recoveryis possible. However, if the plantis damaged to a point below thecotyledons, seedling death will fol-low."Wait three to five daysNo matter what your fields look

like the day after a frost or freeze,Kleinjan said this is not the timeto make decisions about replant-ing. "Immediately following afrost or freeze, leaves on youngcorn and soybean plants may ini-tially blacken and then becomenecrotic (wither and turn brown),"he said. "The actual extent of dam-age should be assessed three tofive days after the event or when afew days of favorable growing con-

ditions have returned."When evaluating the field,

Kleinjan said corn plants that willsurvive should either have newleaf tissue emerging from thewhorl or a growing point that iswhite/light yellow and firm.

The growing point can be ob-served by splitting the seedlinglengthwise and examining thearea one half to three-fourths-inchbelow the soil's surface. "A de-cayed and discolored growingpoint indicates a dead plant," hesaid.

Soybean plants should havenew leaf tissue emerging from oneor more of the undamaged nodes."Plants that still look dead at thispoint will probably not recover,"Kleinjan said.

A careful assessment of plantstands should be made prior tomaking replanting decisions. "Ninety percent of maximum yieldpotential is often still possiblewhen stands are reduced by up toabout 20 percent for both corn andsoybeans," Kleinjan said. "How-ever, stands should be somewhatuniform."

He encouraged growers to re-member that when they are scout-ing for crop damage in fields withvarying topography, they shouldkeep in mind that frost damage istypically more severe in low-lyingareas, as cold air tends to flow intodepressions. "In other words,some areas of the field may war-rant replanting while others donot," Kleinjan said.
