Petitions have been filed and
there will be an April 9th election.
The election will include seats
on the Kadoka Area School Board
and the Kadoka City Council.
The three-year terms of Ken
Lensegrav, Dawn Rasmussen and
Dan VanderMay were to expire on
the school board. All three of the in-
cumbents filed petitions.
In addition, Robert Fugate,
Jerome High Horse and Sam Stod-
dard have also filed petitions.
There will be three winners
voted in on the school board.
For the City of Kadoka, Mayor
Harry Weller was the only one to
file for the mayors position.
Dick Stolley did not file for his
position in Ward I. He will be re-
seated.
In Ward II there were no peti-
tions filed. One would have been
for a one-year term (vacant seat),
and the other for Kieth Prang.
The only election race for the
city will be in Ward III. Incumbent
Ryan Willert filed a petition, along
with Ben Latham.
In Belvidere, Rudy Reimann did
not file a petition. Therefore he will
be reseated.
John Rodger filed his petition for
a three-year term.
The Kadoka School and City of
Kadoka will be sharing a joint elec-

ported the bill as necessary for
teacher and student safety, and
those who feared the presence of
guns would most certainly end in
accidental shootings and unin-
tended deaths of those who were
meant to be protected.
Tieszen recounted instances from
the 1990s when he was a Rapid City
police commander in which an
armed student threatened fellow
students. Of 13 threats in Rapid
City following the Columbine school
shooting in 1999, Tieszen said, two
were credible and could have caused
harm if not stopped
So, if we think we are immune
in South Dakota, Tieszen said,
think again.
Rep. Scott Craig, R-Rapid City,
refuted the assumption that this bill
was in response to the Sandy Hook
Elementary School shooting re-
cently. He said he had presented his
concept to the Legislative Research
Council in December and the shoot-
ings took place two weeks later.
That, he said, confirmed the
rightness of this bill. Since then, he
said, there have been four more in-
cidents seen nationally.
Compelling opposition came from
New Underwood School Superin-
tendent Jeff Marlette, who is a re-
tired Brigadier General who saw
combat.
Have we now reached a place
that our state has gotten so bad, so
unsafe, Marlette asked, where
teachers need to carry guns? He
outlined the dangers of peripheral
damage that even trained law en-
forcement can inflict when trying to
bring down a gunman.
Rob Monson, State Association of
School Administrators, presented
an amendment that would have
changed the bills intent to an in-
terim study topic.
Tieszen later called the so-called
hog house of the bill an ambush,
noting he had seen the amendment
for exactly 32 minutes during the
meeting. He called the attempt in-
tensely disrespectful.
That amendment was defeated.
Sen. Larry Lucas, D-Mission,
said the sentinel bill was an impor-
tant issue, in fact, this is THE issue
of the 2013 session. He added,
what we have in place is working,
noting that boards could already
hire guards.
Chairman Larry Rhoden, R-
Union Center, said the bills intent
has been blown out of proportion.
He said it would allow the states
152 school districts to decide
whether to participate in a sentinel
program.
The bill now travels to the Senate
floor for final legislative considera-
tion.

The controversial Sentinel bill
which would allow local school
boards to put armed guards inside
schools passed out of the Senate
State Affairs Committee last week.
About 60 people were on hand at
the meeting, despite snowand
limited travel--in much of the state.
Time constraints, however, limited
the number of people testifying, as
well as the length of their com-
ments.
The vote to send HB1087 to the
Senate floor as amended was 5-4.
This surprised many observers who
had expected the vote to swing the
other way.
The amendment removed an ad-
dition made by the House that al-
lowed school boards to discuss and
make a decision in executive session
to implement a sentinel program.
Sen. Mark Johnston, R-Sioux
Falls, noted that such action would
conflict with the existing open meet-
ing statutes.
Sen. Craig Tieszen, R-Rapid City,
agreed, noting that it must be a
publicly made decision, but after
that details could be handled in ex-
ecutive session as a personnel mat-
ter.
The lines were still drawn in the
testimony between those who sup-

Grapplers capture State B Wrestling Tournament runner-up spot
The Badlands Brawlers took the State B Wrestling Tournament by storm and brought back the runner-up trophy. The team took the
second place spot early during the first day of action and never looked back, but they might have been sweating it a little there at the end. The second
place finish wasnt secured until the fourth to last match when a Canton wrestler, who was expected to win, failed to do so. Just four points separated
the second through fourth place teams. See more on page 5. --photo by Deb Smith

base.
A bill to increase legislative pay
from $110 per official day of session
up to $123 squeaked through the
House 36-33 on Feb. 20. The follow-
ing day, the Senate referred the bill
to its State Affairs Committee. Law-
makers currently receive $6,000 per
session, an amount which hasnt
been raised in 15 years.
The Senate State Affairs Com-
mittee and the full Senate unani-
mously approved two veterans bills
last week. The first designates the
third Tuesday of September as
POW/MIA working holiday and the
second designates Aug. 7 as Purple
Heart recognition day, also a work-
ing holiday.
A bill increasing certain video
lottery payouts to $1,000 passed
both the House Commerce Commit-
tee and the full House, 39-28, this
past week. SB52 now heads to the
governor for his consideration.
A lively debate in the House on
Feb. 22 centered on the medical care
for certain unborn children. While
Rep. Bernie Hunhoff, D-Yankton,
urged passage to ensure pre-natal
care that would save money by pro-
ducing healthier babies, other law-
makers worried that those low
income mothers were illegal aliens.
Several amendments to that end
were defeated before final passage
of HB1214 by 39-28 was accom-
plished, sending it off to the Senate
for its consideration. The bill had
been forgiven the crossover deadline
because of a requested fiscal note
attached to it.
SB27, which revises the design,
construction and equipping of a vet-
erans home near Hot Springs,
adding an additional 10,000 sq. ft.,
was approved by the House last
week and sent to the Governor for
his expected approval. The project
had been approved last year, but re-
visions were made to the $6 million
facility which needed approval.

Heres a brief review of some of
the S.D. Legislatures recent action.
The Senate approved two bans
on texting while driving Tuesday
and sent it on to the House. The
first bill, SB142, prohibits texting
while driving on South Dakota
roads, and the second, SB44, would
jeopardize the commercial license of
a driver caught texting anywhere in
the nation.
The House Health and Human
Services Committee voted 7-5
against HB1188, a bill that would
have kept mentally ill people who
have been found to be a danger from
owning guns. Their names would
have been added to a national data-
base, which is checked prior to pur-
chase. Main sponsor Rep. Bernie
Hunhoff, D-Yankton, said the state
is one of about 19 states not submit-
ting information about dangerous

2 Chronicles 20:1-13
The cultural emphasis on self has bred a prayer
crisis. Too many believers focus on a problem or its per-
ceived solution instead of making God the center of
their attention. Second Chronicles 20 shows us a better
way.
King Jehoshaphat faced a dire situation: a great multitude approaching quickly to overthrow him.
If he had wrung his hands and wailed instead of concentrating on Gods promises and past provision,
Jerusalem might have been wiped out as the Moabites and Ammonites intended.
The king magnified the Lords greatness, recalling for himself and his people many divine triumphs.
In that way, he was able to bolster the Israelites courage and prepare them for whatever solution God
proposed.
Through the words of his powerful entreaty, Jehoshaphat revealed his firm belief that no problem
not even three fast-approaching murderous armiesis bigger than the Lord of the universe. The Israelite
army was powerless against such an onslaught, but the king refused to give in to his initial fear and de-
spair. Our eyes are on You, he pledged. In other words, We know You have a plan, and we are waiting
to hear what to do. Seeking the Lords will and His best way is a priority for those who want to solve
problems through prayer.
God doesnt want us to pray casually, Lord, please solve my problem. Amen! and then rush into our
day, thinking weve done well to unload our difficulty onto Him. If Hes going to solve a problem, we should
have our ears and mind open to receive His answerand our heart ready to obey.
Solving Problems through

Inspiration Point
dress is school funding and the recent
attempts to transfer even more of
this responsibility towards the local
property taxpayer.
The number of opt-outs now in ef-
fect is alarming. That proves that the
state continues to push the obligation
to fund our public schools to local tax-
payers. This school year, 66 of our
151 public schools are currently in an
opt-out with many more districts
likely to try to pass one if the state
continues to underfund schools.
And now theres Senate Bill 15
which passed on Feb. 20th and which
I strongly opposed. SB 15 will also
force schools to increase their levy for
special education costs. Much of the
cost increases in SB 15 are as a result
of the 2011 budget cuts when the
funding for students with disabilities
was also reduced. In the past, there
may have been adequate money in
the state's Extraordinary Cost Fund
to reimburse all schools that could
not pay all of their special education
bills. Today, however, that fund has
diminished and schools will need to
raise property taxes to cover their on-
going special education costs. Sen-
ate Bill 15 allows the mill levies to be
set higher to cover these costs.
All legislators say they support edu-
cation as a top priority, so it is puz-
zling why our local schools are
always left with scraps when the leg-
islature adjourns every March. I am
still hopeful that we can do better
this year.
The last two weeks of session are
when the revenue estimates are up-
dated and all of the bills which re-
quire appropriations will pass or fail.
We are at the proverbial tipping point
on school funding. Now is the time to
stop shifting that balance towards
the local taxpayer and for the state to
pick up a greater share of its respon-
sibility.
I invite you to contact me with
your questions and concerns on these
topics or any of interest to you. I may
be reached at 605-685-4241 or

On Wednesday, Feb. 20 there was
a joint hearing of both the House and
Senate Committees on Health and
Human Services to listen to testi-
mony on Medicaid Expansion. I serve
on this committee and was privileged
to receive this information
We heard from over 20 different
presenters from across the state.
They represented health care
providers from both large systems
and those who served rural areas.
Other testimonies were from AARP,
ministerial groups, the American
Cancer Society, the SD Medical Asso-
ciation and those who work in health
care in the criminal system. Finally
there were many individuals who
gave very compelling testimony
telling their own stories. When peo-
ple dont have access to affordable
health insurance and their employer
doesnt offer any health care benefits,
they are only one serious accident or
illness away from bankruptcy.
The population affected by the ex-
pansion would be South Dakotas
working poor who do not typically re-
ceive health insurance through their
employer. If states choose to expand
Medicaid, the federal government
will cover 100 percent of the costs
from 2014 to 2016. The feds' contri-
bution will begin to decrease in 2017,
but will never be less than 90 per-
cent, under the ACA. This expansion
would bring close to $200 million fed-
eral dollars to SD to care for those in
need, make our citizens healthier,
and keep them out of more expensive
emergency care.
Every day more states decide to
expand Medicaid. Minnesotas legis-
lature made that decision this week
as did Florida. Bottom line, if we
dont expand, we will have people
who need this benefit and will go
without it. While it is a difficult deci-
sion, lets remember that failure to
act will only leave more South
Dakotans without medical coverage
and continue to drive them to emer-
gency care when they do need help.
The federal dollars we turn down will
only be distributed to other states,
not saved or applied to federal
spending more to our liking.
The next issue I would like to ad-

such restrictions. Many cattle on the
East side of the state have ear tags.
Id like to see the law changed so all
cattle in the state are branded.
Thieves can bring cattle to a sale-
barn and get paid for them in a mat-
ter of a few hours. They can give
whatever name you like, and there is
little chance to catch the rustlers.
Rustling is just one way livestock
crime occurs, there are a lot of ways.
Physically stealing them out of a pas-
ture, theft by embezzlement and cat-
tle cared for by people are taken.
Some people agree to watch cattle for
someone else and then sell the cattle
and pocket the money. Some thieves
double-mortgage cattle and commit
fraud in other ways.
Also, co-owner of Mitchell Live-
stock Auction, told The Daily Repub-
lic that cattle rustling is still a
concern in the industry. Kimball
Livestock Exchange owner said as
the price of beef rises, so do concerns
about rustling. He also goes on to say
that cattle theft seems to be a bigger
problem than it was before.
In 2010, Joe Varner, a North
Dakota man who owned several sale
barns in the region, pleaded no con-
test to a charge of grand theft after
188 head of yearling heifers that
were under U.S. Bankruptcy Court
control went missing from Water-
town Livestock Auction in 2009.
Jerry Derr also served as Director
of Investigations for the South
Dakota State Brand Board for six
years. He was quoted as saying,
South Dakota is unique because the
western part of the state requires
branding, while the eastern part does
not and that is where the loophole
lies. Lets say were here in western
South Dakota, somebody could come
out here on the prairie and steal a
load of cattle. They could take them
to Sioux Falls and sell them because
they have nobody looking at the
brand to determine ownership. Derr
also goes on to say, The State Brand
Board was created in 1937 to provide
livestock owners with a system of an-
imal identification through brand
registration and to ensure proper
ownership of stock. Derr believes
branding is the best method because
it cant be ripped off or cut out like
ear tags can. Brands are permanent.
In 2004 Iowa Public Television in-
terviewed rancher, Ron Ragsdale
from Rapid City area. Mr. Ragsdale
explains, You live in continual fear
that instead of one truckload being
stolen there may be four or five truck-
loads. And, you get to the point with
any operation where its not big
enough to support you and the
thieves both. From 1999 to 2004 he
had been a target of cattle thieves,
costing him over $250,000.
And finally, we need to consider
the impact that cattle rustling has on
our local economies. Start with the
banks that are making the loans.
They have no reassurance that the
State has consistency in brand laws
that protects the interest of the bank.
We also have to consider the impact
that this might have on the ability for
young peple to obtain a loan. A local
sheriff said, Most of the calls about
livestock theft come from the banks.
We need to take into consideration
the implications of our vote on our
local economies, the young rancher
and the viability of our livestock in-
dustry.
Beef: In South Dakota there are
approximately 17,000 ranchers and
cattlemen that produce 3.7 million
head of cattlewe have more cattle
than people! In South Dakota, the
cattle industry is a family business
with nearly all of the cattle busi-
nesses having been in the same fam-
ilies for more than 25 years.
Today, there are more than 26,000
registered brands in the state.
The Brand and Mark Committee
was dissolved in 1925 and The State
Band Board was created in 1937.
The board operates entirely on
user fees generated from livestock
brand registration, renewals, trans-
fers and inspections. No general fund
money is used by the board.
Im sorry to report that this bill
failed with a vote of 47 Nays, 22 Yeas
and 1 excused. Nine west river Rep-
resentatives voted against this bill,
Rep. Cammack, Rep. Craig, Rep.
Dryden, Rep. Johns, Rep. Lust, Rep.
Schaefer, Rep. Sy, Rep. Wink and
Rep. Gosch. We saw strong lobbying
from SD Dept of Agriculture, NCBA,
Farm Bureau, SD Feedlots and SD
Livestock Markets all in opposition.
HB 1135 was the highly con-
tentious bill that caused a lot of de-
bate on the floor. I wrote about it in
my Feb. 11-15 column. It regulates
access to and use of non-meandered
waters on private property. If you

you to see how your State Govern-
ment works! Its well worth the read.

The Legislature was off Monday
for the Presidents Day holiday, but
the House and Senate worked hard
Tuesday and Wednesday as they face
the deadline for getting bills out of
the chamber in which they origi-
nated. That deadline, called
crossover day, was Wednesday. All
Senate bills must be dealt with by the
Senate either passed and sent to
the House or killed and the House
must finish work on its own bills.
The school sentinels proposal
passed a key Senate committee 5-4
on Friday and needs only approval
from the Senate to head to Gov. Den-
nis Daugaard to be signed into law.
Under the proposal, school boards
could vote to arm sentinels provided
local law enforcement approved and
the sentinels underwent training
with the state. Rural schools, located
far from local law enforcement and
without police resource officers, want
the proposals flexibility. As I said
early, I support the bill because of
our neighbors to the north that are
seeing influx of oil drilling activity.
Across the boarder in Montana last
year two men that came from the oil
fields raped and murdered a teacher
on her way to school. Harding County
is the largest county in the state with
vast land and very few residents. My
concern is the school sets right on
HWY 85 which is the main through-
way for the oil boom. Harding County
itself takes in part of the Red River
Formation. Unlike our area they
have one sheriff and one deputy sher-
iff to cover 2600 square miles.
The South Dakota Legislature has

that would allow 1-cent bets in video
lottery games. The House voted 39-28
Thursday to approve the measure,
which was passed earlier by the Sen-
ate. The bill, which was proposed by
the state Lottery Commission, now
goes to Gov. Dennis Daugaard for his
signature. The law currently allows a
minimum bet of five cents. The meas-
ure would allow players to bet as lit-
tle as one cent. Supporters say penny
bets are needed for new machines
that offer line-up games similar to
slot machines. They say the bill is
part of an effort to make the games
fresh and entertaining. I voted for the
bill reluctantly, but the fact is the
State of South Dakota and local
economies have become addicted to
gambling revenue. Until we find
other ways to curb that addition Im
afraid we have limited alternatives.
HB 1204 An Act to require the
Board of Education to obtain legisla-
tive approval before adopting any
further Common Core standards, and
to repeal a provision requiring the
board to conduct certain public hear-
ings was brought to the floor by Rep.
Bolin. After considerable debate on
both sides the House of Representa-
tives passed HB 1204 with YEAS 36,
NAYS 32. Intent to reconsider after
the bill passed was brought by Rep.
Hajek. Several lobbying groups were
behind the scenes encouraging the
intent to reconsider, but it failed 28-
41. It now goes to the Senate Ed.
Committee.
HB 1089 that would require a
statewide livestock ownership inspec-
tion reached the floor late Wednesday
night. Following is the floor speech I
delivered on behalf of HB 1089.
HB 1089 is long over due. In
March of 2012 the SD Ag. Connection
interviewed Mr. Zilverberg who is the
special assistant attorney general for
the South Dakota Division of Crimi-
nal Investigation regarding cattle
rustling in South Dakota. In the
1800s, Mr. Zilverberg would have
been called a range detective.When
asked about cattle rustling he was
quoted as saying Its been steady.
Exact figures are difficult to deter-
mine, since reports of missing cattle
arent matched with notices that the
animals have been found or recov-
ered. Still, more than 1300 head of
cattle have been reported missing
from South Dakota ranches and
farms in the past years, according to
the South Dakota Brand Board.
Exact figures are difficult to deter-
mine, since reports of missing cattle
arent matched with notices that the
animals have been found or recov-
ered. You dont know if theyre stolen
or missing or running around, said
Zilverberg, who has been an investi-
gator since 1990. But he said,
Theres no doubt rustling still oc-
curs, and the losses run into the
thousands, even tens of thousands of
dollars. In most cases, thieves take
cattle from West River ranches and
bring them to sale barns in eastern
South Dakota and sell them accord-
ing. The main reason is that West
River cattle must be branded. On the
East side of the state there are no

Continuing Saga
The Continuing Saga been dormant for several years, however, the
saga will finish this week as I announce that after 23 years and 10
months I am going to retire from the newspaper business.
When I applied for a position at the Kadoka Press in May, 1989 I fig-
ured I had a shoe in as I had, at one time, worked at a printing business
in Nebraska and I had experience operating a Compugraphic machine,
which was used to set type and ads. Ill admit that I needed a little re-
fresher course and thanks to Larry and Alvina Parkinson, they got me on
track. It was still easy to make mistakes with the settings on the machine.
Like the time I had two inches of space between each line of a Jackson
County legal. Yep, had to do it all over again! You never knew what the
finished product would look like until the film was processed. I dont miss
that machine.
I do miss the dark room, except for some of my clothing that was dam-
aged due to a splash or spill of chemicals. D-76 developer and Dectol
were a little toxic and had the same effect on clothing as Clorox. I rolled
my own film and shot a lot of pictures, which was a must because, once
again, I never knew what I had until the film was developed.
Somewhere in this time we got our first Macintosh computer. Wow,
the screen must have been all of 6 by 10, but it was leaps and bounds
better than what we had been using.
The entire newspaper was set up on the computer, however, there
was still the need to run the print copy through a wax machine so it would
stick to a page for layout. I was in charge of taking the pages to Philip
every Tuesday afternoon when the paper was done. There, a negative
was made of the pages and the pictures. Wednesday morning the neg-
atives were taken to Pierre and the paper was printed.
Hallelujah, we finally got the Internet. Our correspondents were able
to email their news; no more waiting for Tuesday mornings mail to know
who would be sending news, press releases and advertising copy. Syd
wanted to set up Kate with a computer so she wouldnt have to free-hand
her news, but she didnt want to take that leap. Kate did master the fax
machine, which eliminated a drive into town.
Be darned if it didnt get better when we continued to upgrade our
computers and programs. My weekly Tuesday trips to Philip (which I
called my thinking time) were replaced with simply sending the entire
paper via the Internet.
Since we moved to Belvidere Ive had more on-the-road thinking
time. Ive been thinking its nice to get off work at 4:30, but not so when
Id have to wait until 7:00 for a sporting event to start or a city council
meeting to be called to order.
Ive also been thinking that since the Belvidere Store has had much
overdue renovation work done and will be opening soon, it might be
smart to hang up the denim printers apron (which, by the way, I never
used in the dark room) and drive 5 miles to work instead of 18.
I want to thank Don and Tami for almost 24 years of employment, all
the co-workers from the other offices and Mary Poss, Korrie Wenzel,
Cindy Letellier and Robyn Jones for the good times at the Kadoka Press.
Also thank you to my husband for dealing with my, I dont know what
time the meeting will be over! for all these years.
Who knows, maybe Ill keep in touch through some other writing or
pictures for this newspaper. Its been fun, but its time to step down and
let someone else with fresh ideas take over. Im moving on to the next
chapter. Sometimes the spring
storms can be very
dangerous. The weather
can change abruptly to
very harsh conditions.
If you are planning to
travel please make sure
you are aware of the
weather forecasts. If you
must be on the road, make
sure that your
vehicle is equipped
properly and you have the
necessary supplies
in case you
are stranded.
Thank you,

All my friends and relatives
seem to be writing books. I hope it
isnt contagious or I might find my-
self writing one too. That sounds
like a lot of work since any act of
creation, whether a book, painting,
or song, takes some doing. These
things dont make themselves, and
the whole process puts you
through periods of self-doubt,
worry, and mental anxiety. Its a
good feeling when you finally get
something produced, look at it,
and decide it isnt half bad, but get-
ting to that point puts you through
the mill.
Friend Ruth, for instance, re-
cently wrote a book about her first
few years as a missionary in Hong
Kong. While she was writing it, Id
get occasional E-mails expressing
her concerns about proof reading
or that she wasnt adequately get-
ting across what she wanted to
say. Her creation, Foreign Devil
Girl in Hong Kong by Ruth Epp,
is however now available through
Amazon and is a good read. It has
insight, pathos and humor. She
also gives one a good idea of how
very difficult it is to learn the Can-
tonese Chinese dialect. Since I
have no talent whatsoever at
learning foreign languages, Can-
tonese is probably something I
shouldnt even attempt. Its fun,
though, to read about someone
elses struggle in doing so. Ruth
lived and worked in Hong Kong
from 1959 until 2005 so there are
many more years to write about if
she gets up the nerve and ambition
to pull it off.
I should probably mention that,
before Ruth moved to the other
side of the world, she and her
friend, Darlene, came with Rev.
Knickle in the summers and
taught us Bible School for a week
at a local country schoolhouse.
They lived with us during those
weeks so we got to know them
pretty well, and weve kept in
touch ever since.
Then we come to Cousin Verna
(Heaton) Benham who recently
published her book, Champagne
in a Paper Cup. It is also available
through Amazon and recounts her
time as a Foreign Service em-
ployee in such places as Taiwan
and South America. In the latter,
she met and married a fellow who
was a foreign correspondent for
The Associated Press and the U. S.
News & World Report. All in all,
she has lived an extremely inter-
esting life and has done a good job
telling about it. I seem to have no
particular desire to go to Taiwan or
South America, but it is enjoyable
to visit there through Vernas eyes
and pen.
Local friend, Joyce (Dolezal)
Wheeler has also written a couple
of books, (available at Amazon
again.) They are novels, which
means she had to make them up
instead of just writing about
things she has done. Sure, you
would probably base your charac-
ters on people you have known,
but you still have to deal with
characterization, plot and such. It
takes a lot of thinking. It is quite a
lot easier to read Joyces books
than to make one up yourself.
So, if you wanted to write a
book, how many words would you
have to come up with? A standard-
size novel, it seems, should proba-
bly be around 80,000 words. Thats
a lot. You might get by with 50,000,
but 80,000 would be better. If you
were Leo Tolstoy, you would have
to come up with over half-a-million
words for such tomes as his, War
and Peace. That would take
weeks to read much less write. As
a college kid assigned to read it,
you might be better off buying the
Cliff Notes, which is a little pub-
lication that allows you to know all
about a book without actually
reading it. I like the comment by
one of the characters on son
Chances Veggie Tales video where
he says he read War and Peace via
Cliff Notes and found it riveting.
He comments, Thats three min-
utes of my life Ill never get back.
As we said, reading War and Peace
in full might take quite a lot longer
than three minutes since it runs to
something like 1,400 pages. Cliff
Notes might be the way to go in
this case.
I did start writing a mystery
novel over ten years ago and got
through the first two chapters be-
fore bogging down. Action on that
project has come to a standstill,
but, who knows, maybe Ill drag it
back out some day and get going
again. I have enough things to do
at present without that, but only
writing a thousand words a week
would get a book written in a little
over a year. I currently write a lit-
tle less than that, maybe 850,
every week writing these things so
maybe I could double my produc-
tion. Well have to see.
Since Ive been writing weekly
articles from 1986 to the present,
Ive probably already used up well
over a million words. Thats double
what Tolstoy needed for War and
Peace, but my stuff, alas, isnt ex-
actly in book form. Im happy to re-
port that I can write much more
quickly and easily now than I
could back in 86, but it is still
fairly hard work. Like I said, I
hope book-writing isnt contagious
or I might contact that dreaded
disease. Everyone else is catching
it, but maybe it will pass me by.
Time will tell.
The Writing Game
Lookin Around
by Syd Iwan
Francie Davis recently returned
from Phoenix, Arizona, where she
went to participate in an obstacle
race known as a Spartan run.
This involved navigating various
obstacles and trying to do it
quickly. The last 300 yards in-
volved crawling under barbed wire.
Francie said it was both awful and
wonderful. It was interesting
enough that she is already plan-
ning to do another one in Nebraska
this fall. She went with her friend,
Nancy, who had lived in the area a
while and knew people and places.
As a result, they attended a toast-
masters meeting, a book club meet-
ing and wandered down some
hiking trails. They also spent time
in Sedona. The Spartan run raises
money for wounded or disabled
vets. Training at home is now in
the works for other races such as
the 5K run at Philip on St.
Patricks Day. In June there is one
in the Hills on the Mickelson Trail.
Last week, Chad, Francie and boys
went to Sioux Falls to attend a re-
union on Chads side of the family.
Francie also mentioned that the
Rodeo Bible Camp fundraising auc-
tion will be held at the hall in
Belvidere at 4:00 p.m. on St.
Patricks Day. Donation of items to
be auctioned would be appreciated.
Betty Kusick was visited a week
ago Sunday by her daughter,
Loretta Schreiber, and her hus-
band, Lawrence, of Quinn. They
brought lunch and stayed long
enough to play some cards. A simi-
lar affair happened on Monday ex-
cept with other daughter, Kathy,
and her husband, Gary, from Rapid
City. Lunch and cards again. On
Saturday, Joe Livermont came to
visit but didnt bring lunch. They
did play cards, however, namely
cribbage.
Jim, Georgann and Jami Addi-
son were in Philip on Saturday for
a seventh and eighth-grade basket-
ball tournament in which Jami
took part to the tune of four games.
It was rather a long day for her.
Back at home, a lady pulled in one
day and unloaded five horses. This
gave Jim pause until he realized
she was only leaving one with
Georgann and also taking one of
Georganns. There was no net gain
or loss.
Bonenbergers are mostly stay-
ing close to home to keep an eye on
calving which is now in full swing.
Bill and Norma Headlee are also
into calving since their heifers have
started. They are into calving at
the vet clinic as well with three
needing assistance on Sunday. One
of those involved a set of twins. On
Monday, plumbers are coming to
install a water heater and some
bathroom fixtures in a new bath-
room that was included in the re-
cent building of a detached garage.
Kenny and Roxie Fox went to
Mobridge on Saturday so Roxie
could attend a baby shower for her
daughter-in-law, Jodi. Jodi and her
husband, Shawn, are expecting an
addition to their family towards
the end of March. Jodi had quite a
few members of her family there
too including some from North
Dakota. Kenny and the other guys
attended a bull sale instead since
that happened to be going on in
town at the same time.
Chuck Willard is recovering
nicely from his recent hip-replace-
ment surgery. He hasnt gone back
to his EMT work over at Rosebud
yet but may do so, at least part
time, in another month or so. Too
much activity is still tiring.
Bud and Valene Perault had
supper on Sunday evening over at
Mike and Marlene Peraults. Last
weekend, daughter Laney and her
kids were at Mike and Marlenes
overnight on Sunday. On Sunday,
Laneys five-year-old son, Billy, was
in a wrestling meet in Kadoka. On
Monday, he was in another at
Philip. Laneys husband, Joe Waln,
was along on Sunday but had to go
home on Monday to do chores. Mar-
lene said not many of her kids were
in sports while they were in school
except for Lesa who tended to be in
all of them.
Love is that condition in which
the happiness of another person
is essential to your own.

News comes of former members
of the community, Gert Ring and
Erna Totton. Earlier this month,
Gert suffered a heart attack, and is
now in recovery in rehab, and hop-
ing things improve enough that she
will be able to return to her apart-
ment in McKinney, TX, in a couple
more weeks. Erna had some bleed-
ing in the brain last week and
ended up in the hospital in Sioux
Falls, where she is slowly recover-
ing.
Lenten services continue at St.
John Lutheran on Wednesdays,
with service at 6:00 p.m. and soup
supper following at 7:00. Soup
makers last week were Kenda
Huber and June Ring.
The Mellette County Historical
Society met at the museum last
week and elected Julie Brandis as
president.
The Mellette County Cattle-
women held their February meet-
ing at the museum in White River
Friday afternoon, February 22.
Amy Lehman was hostess and was
joined at the meeting by Rose West,
Donna Adrian and June Ring.
Blake and Amy Lehman stayed
in for the ball game that evening.
Karla Heyduk reported that the
silent auction and other activities
held to raise money for cancer vic-
tims was very successful. There is
to be a meeting Friday, March 1, at
the museum in White River; the
plan is to figure out a way to have
an organization that will be able to
distribute the funds locally for
those battling cancer.
Richard Krogman went to
Clarences Thursday, February 14,
to watch the White River Tigers
play James Valley Christian and
pull out an exciting victory. On the
16th, Richard and Noreen went to
Mission to watch the Tigers win
the game over the Todd County
Falcons. Sunday the 17th, they
watched a different sport in
Kadoka, where grandson Cayne
Krogman, son of Mark and Car-
olyn, was wrestling. They had time
to visit with the family afterwards.
Monday Richard was back in White
River for the boys basketball game
with Little Wound. Thursday the
cooking channel claimed their at-
tention. Noreens nephew, Jon Ga-
boric, was a contestant on Chefs
Wanted. They had to go through
three phases of the contest, and
Jon emerged the winner. Jon is
from Austin, Texas.
Friday Richard attended the
boys basketball game and parents
night in White River.
Last Tuesday and Friday,
Heather and Dan Taft were in Mar-
tin for physical therapy for Dan.
Wednesday Susan was in Wanblee
working at the post office there.
Friday Morgan stayed in after
school, and played in the band at
the boys basketball game. Susan
came in for the game, too.
Saturday Alvin and Judy Sim-
mons and Chris and Cindy Knecht
and sons came to help Tafts sort
cattle, getting ready for calving.
They were all supper guests.
Tuesday Torey Ring was among
the volunteers who showed up to
fight fire west of Merchens. A high
line broke and started the fire. The
propane truck driver noticed it and
alerted the Merchens, who sent out
a call for help. By the time Torey
arrived, the Merchens and the Nor-
ris fire truck had it nearly under
control and it was finished off with
help from fire trucks from Long
Valley and Parmelee.
Thursday the Torey Ring family
kept dental appointments in
Murdo. Myles Addison was also at
the dentist, so they had a chat with
him. Linda reports that they went
through various levels of snow both
on the way to Murdo and on the
way home.
Robert, Torey, Sharon and Bruce
Ring met with the banker on busi-
ness at Roberts Wednesday after-
noon. That evening Robert and
Sharon attended Lenten service
and soup supper.
Bruce Ring received the call
from Jessie that Risa was being re-
leased from the hospital Tuesday,
and that he could pick them up at
Rob and Peggys home. (Peggy is a
pediatric nurse and had gone to get
them from the hospital when Risa
was cleared to go home.) Bruce left,
and June went over to the house to
be there when the Head Start bus
brought Riley home in the after-
noon, and then went to the bus stop
to meet the kids after school and
stay with them until their folks re-
turned home later that evening.
Friday Bruce took parts to Win-
ner for repair, and Stephanie and
Ryan rode along with them. Satur-
day Jessie took Stephanie to Mar-
tin for the birthday party for
classmate Tiaunna. When they re-
turned home, the rest of the family
was watching State A wrestling fi-
nals on PBS. Bruces college class-
mate, Joe Amo, had a son wrestling
in the 182 pounds class. Bruce let
June know, so she watched the
matches, also. It was a thrill to see
Aero Amo win and become state
champ.
James and Marjorie Letellier
were in White River last Monday
for the White River Tigers game
with Little Wound. Tuesday James
and Chris Letellier took the Norris
fire truck to help fight fire west of
Merchens place. Friday Andrea
Beckwith accompanied Jim and
Marjorie to the boys basketball
game in White River. Julie Letel-
lier of Kilgore visited Saturday.
Chris WoodenKnife hosted a
farewell meal for her daughter,
Roxie, at the Norris Hall Saturday.
Roxie is going into police training
at Artesian. Lorrain Waack and
some of her family were down for
the occasion.
Gary and Anne Heinert were
among those at the basketball
game with Lyman in White River
Friday night.
Anne reports that parent-
teacher conferences are from 4
until 8 p.m. Wednesday the 27th.
Evan and Dorothy Bligh joined
the Tiger fans at the ball game Fri-
day evening.
Dorothy Bligh was among those
attending a baby shower for Mesa
Jo, infant daughter of Ben and
Jenny Dimond, which was held at
the Methodist Church on Sunday
afternoon. It was hosted by Amy
Lehman and Linda Dimond.
June Ring stayed in town after
the Cattlewomen meeting and
went to visit Luree Wacek after-
ward. She attended the basketball
game after that.
Bobbi Kelley reported that the
Norris School gym is reserved for
the wake for Christine Dunham
Monday and Tuesday, with the fu-
neral there on Wednesday.
The entire area is saddened and
in shock of the sudden loss of
Christine Dunham, 83, of Norris on
Friday night. May the Lord Jesus
Christ wrap his everlasting arms
around each and everyone of her
dear family. It is certainly true
that Norris will not be the same.
Christine was affectionately
Grandma to all of us and we loved
her for it. What a grandma she
was, you didnt have to know her
long before she would tell you she
had 163 grandchildren at last
count and so proud of each one, too.
Christine was a very strong sup-
porter of education, a Head Start
teacher and later in the Adopt a
Grandparent program at Norris
School. She was a Black Pipe tribal
council member of the Rosebud
Sioux Tribe for many years.
Life wasnt easy for Christine,
but it never made her bitter.
Christine could use her great
sense of humor and sharp wit to get
any point across. Her boldness to
speak out for the right is to be ad-
mired by all of us. Christine spoke
words of wisdom at every opportu-
nity and lived by them, too.
Her family always came first
and if you needed a Grandma she
would adopt you, too. Christine
dearly loved the Lord and her
meaning of love was evident by
everything she did. Her best exam-
ple was by never missing a day of
visiting her dear husband, Bill, at
the nursing home in White River.
Christine Dunham will go down
in history as the Best Fan the
White River Tigers basketball
teams ever had! We could learn a
lot from her example and she never
missed a game. She even had
White River Tiger seat covers in
her car! She got the attention of the
press at the State B tournament in
Aberdeen last year with her big
purple and gold hat and sweatshirt
covered with photo buttons of her
grandchildren who were players.
Who could forget her little jingle, I
was only foolin at the welcome
home for the 2010 Basketball
Champions at White River? She
was so proud of all of them and
rightfully so. I believe with all my
heart, that as this years team pre-
pares for the tournaments again
that you dont need to worry.
Grandma will be watching every
practice, every play and every shot
you make; because you will have an
Angel in the Audience. May God
bless the memory of Christine Dun-
ham.

Congratulations to the Philip
area wrestling team, which in-
cluded several wrestlers from
KAHS. The state tournament was
held in Aberdeen over the weekend
and Philip, Wall and Kadoka
wrestlers, as a team, took second
place behind Parkston.
Speaking of wrestling, my
grandson, Jack Lenox, is the Mis-
souri State AAU Wrestling Cham-
pion in the 85 pound bracket, as of
this past weekend. He lives in
Chesterfield, MO, and is 11 years
old. He will have a week off before
going on to further matches. He is
also a triple crown winner. As lots
of wrestlers, parents and grandpar-
ents in this area know, most week-
ends are spent participating in the
AAU competition.
If Congress doesnt act in the
next week, America will be faced
with debilitating cuts to nearly
every non-defense discretionary
program at the federal level. But
these cuts are not sequestered to
the federal level alone they will
cut into everything we do in our
county, city and school district.
At a Valentines Day Senate Ap-
propriations hearing on the im-
pacts of the sequestration,
Congress considered just what
kind of love note they would like
to extend to the American people.
Secretary of Education Arne
Duncan testified at that meeting
and heres what he said about the
federal Impact Aid Program a
program that helps educate more
than 350 students in Kadoka Area
School District:
The across-the-board nature of
the cuts would focus an ill-advised
reduction on our grant programs
and the funds we need to adminis-
ter them, referring to federally
connected schools. His testimony
referred to two of several schools
that could face over $1 million cuts
to Impact Aid because of sequestra-
tion. Later in the hearing, Duncan
said we would have to cut this
money [Impact Aid] right away. We
disproportionately fund those
areas because theres a lack of
property taxes.
Because Impact Aid, a federal
program that provides an in-lieu
of tax payment to school districts
impacted by a federal presence, is
the ONLY federal education pro-
gram that is current-year-funded
(meaning the funds authorized by
Congress in one year are for the
same school year), federally im-
pacted schools will feel the cuts the
day sequestration takes effect -
March 1, 2013 - should the U.S.
Congress fail to find an alternative
deficit-reduction solution. And
were not talking peanuts here.
Should Congress allow sequestra-
tion to trigger, federally impacted
schools would see an immediate cut
of up to 5.3-percent across-the-
board. That equates to about $70
million less for federally impacted
schools nationwide!
KADOKA AREA SCHOOL DIS-
TRICT is 50% percent federally im-
pacted and received $401,509.00 in
Impact Aid last year. A 5.3-percent
cut would mean we would have
$21,280.00 less with which to oper-
ate our district. And its not just
money we worry about. Its jobs. If
sequestration occurs, our school
district could see a reduction in
services and programs that it is
currently able to provide.
Impact Aid helps fund school
districts nationwide affected by In-
dian Reservations, federal build-
ings, low-rent housing facilities,
National Parks and other federal
entities. More than 1,300 school
districts receive Impact Aid and it
affects more than 11 million school
children each year. Because they
are in-lieu of local tax revenue, Im-
pact Aid funds are unrestricted,
meaning they can be used in a
school district in virtually unlim-
ited ways helping to pay for
added technology, special education
services, teacher salaries, new con-
struction all of which help stu-
dents learn better and more
efficiently in their school setting.
Sequestration should be avoided
altogether for a balanced approach
to deficit reduction. Why?
1) Impact Aid is not a money
drain its an investment in our fu-
ture. We should never forget that
by cutting education spending, we
are putting the future of our chil-
dren and our country at risk. Ac-
cording to the CIAs World
Factbook, the United States spends
only 5.3-percent of its gross domes-
tic product on education ranking
54th out of 182 countries surveyed.
Cutting Impact Aid and education
even further will not secure our
childrens futures, but guarantee
that our country will continue to
edge even further down the educa-
tion ladder. Thats not right.
2) Impact Aid is a federal part-
nership with localities, and cutting
or eliminating portions of it would
create an undue burden on local
taxpayers. Congress recognized
this fact way back in 1950 when
they created Impact Aid. They said,
without continued federal help,
more than 1.8 million children in
these federally impacted areas
would not receive normal school
service The U.S. has become an
industrialist, landlord or a busi-
nessman in many communities.
However, since the land is tax ex-
empt, the federal government has
not accepted the responsibility of
the normal citizen in a community
to meet its financial obligation to
support public schools. By cutting
Impact Aid, Congress is shirking
its responsibility and shifting
school funding responsibilities onto
local taxpayers to the tune of $70
million. Thats not fair.
KADOKA AREA SCHOOL DIS-
TRICT urges you to speak out and
advocate on behalf of all federally
impacted schools in this country.
Additionally, our district relies
heavily on other federal programs
such as Title I, Title II, and IDEA
for special education. These pro-
grams directly impact students and
programs for reading and math in-
struction.
If Congress doesnt act on
March 1, 2013, what is not right,
not fair and inconceivable will be-
come inevitable.
Singled out for the wrong reason
Imagine traveling from Martin,
South Dakota, to Kansas City, Mis-
souri. Now imagine that trip by
foot, with a 40-pound backpack.
Now imagine that you dont speak
the language and are dependent on
the hospitality of strangers.
Anthony Kathol, of Martin,
made such a journey, in his 565
mile pilgrimage across Spain. The
El Camino de Santiago, the way of
St. James, is a religious pilgrimage
which dates back to the time of the
Middle Ages.
His journey started at St. Jean
de Pied-Port, France, at the foot of
the Pyrannes Mountains, and con-
tinued to Santiago de Compostela,
Spain, ending at the Cathedral of
Santiago.
The inspiration for making the
pilgrimage came from watching a
movie, The Way, which is the
story of another mans walk of the
pilgrimage.
I had recently retired from my
job and this movie inspired me to
get away from the distractions of
the world in order for me to seek
out a new sense of purpose and di-
rection in my life, he explained. It
was a spiritual pilgrimage that I
will never forget.
Along the way Kathol stayed at
many private, municipal and
parochial hostels. Some of the
challenges faced along the way in-
cluded Not being sure if I was
going to make it within the allotted
time due to physical limitations. I
had one major blister on my right
heel which impaired me for two to
three days and I had to walk in my
sandals to not aggravate it. Many
more pilgrims had worse blisters.
Blisters are part of the walk and
you accept them with grace. Some-
one said that the number of blisters
you have on your feet is equivalent
to the number of sins you have.
Well, I had one major blister and
one minor blister on my right foot,
none on my left foot the entire
trip.
Other physical obstacles in-
cluded having knees swell like
grapefruits about a week out from
Santiago as a result of all the
weight in my backpack carrying
over the mountains and the steep
decline and pounding that my legs
took when going downhill. I believe
it was Gods way of getting me to
slow down to hear his message.
Having a map helped, but
Kathol reported that it was impor-
tant to pay attention to where you
are going! When hiking in the big
cities, one had to really pay close
attention where the yellow arrow
way marks were posted, as the
marks were in competition with all
the street and advertising signs
along the way. For example, a yel-
low arrow would be painted on the
back of a stop sign or a light pole.
If you werent paying attention,
youd get lost quickly. This hap-
pened on occasion, but many locals
informed me right away that I was
not going the right way and got me
back on the path. That was com-
forting as the locals are used to the
pilgrims walking in their commu-
nities and welcome them.
Forty-two days after taking the
first step, Kathol arrived at his des-
tination. Since his shoes were not
completely worn out yet, he contin-
ued three more days to walk to Fin-
isterre, Spain, to reach the shore of
the Atlantic Ocean. This is the
place where people thought that
ships fell off the edge of the earth,
when it was believed the world was
flat.
At the completion of the walk at
both Santiago and Finisterre,
Kathol received a compostela,
which is a certification of the com-
pletion of the pilgrimage. His name
is also included in the church reg-
istry for his accomplishment.
Prior to starting his journey,
Kathol visited the Basilica of Our
Lady of the Immaculate Concep-
tion where the Blessed Mother ap-
peared to St. Bernadette in
Lourdes, France. Kathol finished
his experience by giving thanks to
the Blessed Mother in Fatima, Por-
tugal.
The public is invited to follow in
Anthonys footsteps as he presents
the story and photos of his journey
on Thursday, March 7, at 7 p.m. at
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart
Catholic Church basement in Mar-
tin. A potluck meal will be served
prior to the presentation.

It came down to the wire, but the
Philip Area grapplers held on to
their second place standing which
they had posted after the first day
of action at the South Dakota State
B Wrestling Tournament in Ab-
erdeen, February 22-23.
As the final matches were taking
place Parkston was at 158 points,
Philip Area at 115, Wagner 111.5
and Canton 111. Philip Area had
completed their last match with
Canton having one more. Wagner
was done wrestling and would stay
at 111.5. Head Coach Matt Don-
nelly noted that 182 pound weight
class was the deciding factor. If the
Canton wrestler won by decision
Philip Area and Canton would tie
for second; if he won with a pin
which scores more points, Canton
would take second place. Philip
Areas score held as the Canton
wrestler lost his bid for the cham-
pionship. Parkston finished the
tournament with 164 points.
Philip Area took nine wrestlers
to the tournament, eight of which
advanced to the second day of ac-
tion. Those eight all placed sixth or
higher. By comparison, Parkston
brought 12 wrestlers to Aberdeen
and with 10 finishing seventh or
higher.
Donnelly said the team had an
idea what they had going in to the
tournament. We figured we had a
chance, he said. Im proud of the
kids. Logan Ammons was awarded
the Most Pins Award for his five
pins during the tournament.
Gavin DeVries loss in double
overtime was a tough one, said
Donnelly.

Donnelly noted that Parkston
also attends a lot of tournaments
during the off season, which is one
reason for their success. He said to
stay competitive and to win those
championship titles, the kids have
to work at the sport year round.
That time spent in practice in the
off season really helps, he said.
He added that all the support
from parents and fans helps the
team too, and he is thankful for
that support.

SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT: Mr.
Hermann reviewed education legislative
issues. He reported that the operation of
the track concessions will be advertised
until the end of the month.
PRINCIPALS REPORTS: Mr. Seiler pre-
sented his recommendations for new
staffing positions for next year including
a high school counselor and a foreign
language teacher. He listed duties that
would be included in a high school guid-
ance/counselor position and stated that
DDN for foreign language is not as effec-
tive as having a classroom teacher. Mr.
Hermann noted that he has contacted
area schools to determine if there is an
interest in sharing a foreign language
teacher.
Mr. Seiler reported that the scoreboard
committee met with businesses that are
interested in sponsorship of the score-
board. Cost of a scoreboard with a mes-
saging center add-on would be
approximately $29,000.00 plus installa-
tion costs. BankWest will be primary
sponsor of the scoreboard with their busi-
ness at the top of the board. Discount
Fuel, Kadoka Oil, Peoples Market and
Grant Patterson will be scoreboard spon-
sors with their businesses on the bottom
section of the scoreboard. The addition
of a messaging center was also dis-
cussed and to add that option would be
school district responsibility in the
amount of approximately $13,000. The
plan is that the messaging center would
be moved to the front of the school prop-
erty after football season and back to the
sports complex for track season. Adver-
tising on the messaging center could be
sold with that revenue to go back to the
sports complex reserve.
Mr. Nemecek explained IXL Math and its
use as intervention for students. He also
reported on sessions attended at the
Principals Joint Conference.
BOARD COMMITTEE REPORTS: NE-
GOTIATIONS COMMITTEE: Dan Van-
derMay noted that the board members
should review the negotiated agreement.
It was decided that a working lunch time
for negotiations planning and review be
done at the February 15th special meet-
ing.
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE: Mr.
Hermann reported that the transportation
committee met; inventory of buses and
vehicles was reviewed with mileage on
each. The recommendation for pur-
chases next year is for a suburban and a
van or car. The plan would be to budget
for the vehicles and to purchase when a
federal surplus property vehicle is avail-
able.
RESIGNATIONS: A letter of resignation
from Abby Carlson, effective after her two
week notice starting January 24, 2013,

tions from sponsors BankWest, Discount
Fuel, Kadoka Oil and Grant Patterson for

to be funded by the Reserve for Sports
Complex. Motion was seconded by Ross
Block and carried.

Evaluating Your
Winter Wheat Stand
There has been considerable in-
terest in the condition of the win-
ter wheat crop in South Dakota
during this winter of 2012-13.
Much of the crop was planted into
dry soil, and a substantial percent-
age didnt germinate before cold
weather arrived, with even less
emerging. Winter wheat plants
that sprout and do not establish a
crown and two to three tillers will
not be as winter hardy as plants
that did. However, it is not well
known how much less winter
hardy they are.
With adequate moisture, wheat
seeds germinate (and winter
wheat plants break dormancy) at
temperatures of 39 degrees F or
higher. With soil temperatures at
the 2 and 4 depth hovering at or
near 32 degrees F at most of the
South Dakota Automatic Weather
Data Network (AWDN) stations, it
may be a few weeks before produc-
ers will be able to accurately as-
sess winter wheat survival.
Historically, soil temperatures at
most AWDN stations dont reach
temperatures in the upper 30s
until mid to late March.
If interested, producers can run
the bag test, explained on page
40 of Chapter 4, Winter Wheat
Planting Guide of iGrow Wheat:
Best Management Practices for
Wheat Production:
http://igrow.org/up/resources/05-
1001-04-2012.pdf to provide an
early indication of winter survival.
As the chapter states, If informa-
tion is not required immediately,
the best way to assess winterkill is
to wait until plant growth com-
mences. It is quite difficult to get a
field wide picture of winter
wheat survival by running the
bag test as you are only evaluat-
ing a small sample.
Once you are able to accurately
assess winter survival, or what
kind of stand you have remaining
in the spring, you will need to de-
cide whether to leave the stand or
destroy it and plant another crop.
There are three components of
yield; number of heads per unit
area, kernels per head, and kernel
weight. The dominant component
in less than optimum stands is
number of heads per unit area.
The plant population needed to op-
timize yields for most conditions in
South Dakota is considered to be
about 14-15 plants/sq ft. Lower
populations can be managed to
produce profitable yields if the
stand is relatively uniform across
the field. Stands as low as 5
plants/sq ft can produce nearly
70% of maximum yield, and some
areas of the field may have higher
densities, increasing the potential.
Before destroying a winter wheat
field, contact your crop insurance
agent. A field must be released be-
fore pursuing other cropping op-
tions or crop insurance coverage
would be voided.
Producers should not inter-seed
spring wheat into winter wheat as
this would result in mixed wheat
at harvest and result in marketing
problems and almost certain price
reduction.
If producers determine that
they have an adequate winter
wheat stand to keep, but less than
ideal, they should apply nitrogen
early to enhance tillering. Nitro-
gen should be applied as soon as
the plants break dormancy, or as
soon as the soil is not frozen. It is
also important to pay close atten-
tion to weed management as
weeds will be more competitive in
a thin stand.
