The Kadoka Area fourth graders
will be hosting their Pioneer Sup-
per next Wednesday, May 1 at the
Kadoka City Auditorium. The pro-
ceeds of the supper go to defray the
cost of their trip to Desmet, SD.
Supper will be served from 6:00
p.m. to 7:00 p.m.; with the enter-
tainment to begin at 7:00 p.m. The
supper will consist of chili, corn-
bread, and bars.
The trip is planned for May 8
and 9 to Mitchell and DeSmet. This
will be the 11th year that the
fourth graders have taken this trip.
The students from former years
have enjoyed learning about the
history of South Dakota, through
the hands-on learning activities. As
part of their South Dakota History,
the fourth graders will be going to
Mitchell to visit the Prehistoric In-
dian Village and the Corn Palace.
They will be spending the night at
a motel in Mitchell and then on to
DeSmet early Friday morning.
There they will visit Laura Ingalls
Wilders homestead and Surveyors
House.
We invite everyone to come and
join the fun, as our fourth graders
serve and entertain you. Their proj-
ects will also be on display for your
viewing enjoyment.

Choose a job you love and you
will never work a day in our life.
Many people dream about this, oth-
ers hope for it, while some find it.
Dawn Rasmussen is among those
who have found it and she is grasp-
ing it tight.
Over twelve years ago, while
shopping in Rapid City, Rasmussen
was browsing through a shop when
she noticed that classes were being
offered on how to make glass
beads. Signing up for the class she
had no idea this was a start of new
beginning in her life.
Rasmussen has always enjoyed
creating different craft items and
being creative, but after finishing
the class, she realized how much
she enjoyed making the glass
beads.
I began making beads, lots of
beads, of every color, shape and
size, said Rasmussen, I just really
fell in love with making them.
In order for her to pursue her
new found hobby of making beads,
it required the purchase of several
tools and supplies. She invested in
several torches, kilns and massive
amounts of glass.
I finally realized that in order
to support my bead habit, I needed
to do something with the beads,
said Rasmussen, and that's when
I began to use them to make jew-
elry.
Being an interior designer, Ras-
mussen has the talent of combining
different colors, textures and pat-
terns.
Learning to make glass beads
gave me a way to explore and be
creative, said Rasmussen, and
making beads and interior design
use many of the same concepts and
one of them is color.
Rasmussen purchases glass rods
in basic colors. With the use of a
torch, she combines different colors
of glass rods, by melting them to-
gether to create new and different
colors. Four different types of glass
rods are used, mainly soft glass,
but not each type of glass is com-
patible with each other. Rasmussen
explains that each type of glass has
a different level of co-efficiency of
expansion and each type of rod
cools at a different rate when re-
moved from the heat. If the differ-
ent types are combined and are not
compatible, they will not bond and
will break apart after cooling.
There's a little bit of chemistry
to making the beads, said Ras-
mussen, and understanding all el-
ements when working with the
different types of glass does require
some experimenting.
As the glass rods are melted
with a torch to a temperature of
1500, the glass becomes soft and
has the consistency of taffy. The
glass is then twisted on a small
metal rod. During this process, the
hot glass is dipped into frits. Frits
are small broken pieces of glass
which are avaliable in several col-
ors, but by using frits, several col-
ors can be mixed together, creating
new colors and different patterns.
Another way to manipulate and
change the color of the glass is by
adjusting the regulators on the
propane and oxygen bottles that
supply the torch.
By changing to an oxygen rich
or an oxygen deprived flame this
will change the way the minerals
come to the surface of glass, said
Rasmussen, which changes the
appearance and the color of the
glass.
The final bead color really de-
pends on the combination of the
orignal inherited color of the glass;
the way different glasses react to
each other; and how the glass re-
acts to the flame.
Melting the several layers of
glass together to make one bead
can take anywhere from ten min-
utes to over an hour. The amount of
time depending on the colored lay-
ers and combining the different
patterns.
Once the glass is removed from
the flame of the torch, they are
then placed in a kiln at 900 for
eight hours. As they are removed
from the kiln and begin to cool, the
final color appears. Then a new cre-
ative step begins when the glass
beads are combined with gem-
stones, pearls, leather, sterling sil-
ver, or cooper, and beautiful
jewelery is created.
Even though Rasmussen enjoys
making the glass beads she admits
that she is always looking at new
and different items and wondering
"what can I make with that?" Hav-
ing this creative desire prompts her
to continue to grow her jewelry de-
signs.
Each year I attend different
shows and this year I attended one
that dealt with copper, said Ras-
mussen. It uses many of the same
techniques as working with glass
but in a new way.
Going down to the local hard-
ware store, Rasmussen purchased
some copper piping. Cutting the
copper pipe in to rings, she begins
the process of transforming the
pipe into jewelry pieces. Kneeling
the metal (heating it) is done with
a torch, and this will change the
color and make it pliable. Hammer-
ing the metal is the next step and
this will make the metal hard
again. During this process, the
metal pieces can be bent and folded
to create a textured pattern. Etch-
ing can also be done with a chemi-
cal acid to create another type of
texture to the metal. Once the
desidered color and texture is
achieved, then layering pieces of
copper is done by cold contecting
and soldering them together.
By intergrading glass beads
and metal in to my jewelry designs,
I'm able to create orignal pieces,
said Rasmussen, and also chal-
lenge myself on different creative
levels and to provide a variety of
pieces.
After many months of making
jewelry, Rasmussen will spend her
summer months traveling and at-
tending jewelered art shows. There
she is able to share her personal
creations with others.
Not only do I enjoy seeing the
final product, but I love each step
it takes to develop and trying some-
thing new, she said.
So, if you are among those look-
ing for a job that challenges you to
grow and broaden your views, do
not be afraid to try and accomplish
new things. And when you do find
that job make sure you grasp it and
don't let go.

bers of the prestigious Central
Chamber Orchestra which has
been recognized as one of the top
high school chamber groups in the
nation.
With the evening coming to a
close, an auction of donated items
was held. Guests opened their
pocketbooks and ended up donat-
ing around $3,900.
With the sale of the tickets and
auction, minus the expenses, the
nursing home was able to raise
close to $10,000. This money will
be used towards some of the cur-
rent projects at the nursing home.
One of the projects that the
nursing home is working towards
is a new stove for the kitchen. The
kitchen currently has a two burner
stove, with one oven and a small
griddle. This makes cooking for the
residents an everyday challenge for
the kitchen staff.
A new stove would have six
burners, two ovens, and a large
griddle, but comes at the cost of
$15,000. A new stove would allevi-
ate the stress of preparing the
meals on time for the residents.
The other project is a fence for
the yard. A fence would allow resi-
dents affected by dementia the
freedom to enjoy the outdoors with-
out constant supervision.
With this years supper being
another great success, the Kadoka
Nursing Home looks forward to
continuing this annual tradition.
An event like this allows the com-
munity an opportunity to support
the nursing home while also enjoy-
ing a night of great food, friends
and entertainment.

The Kadoka Nursing Home
Prime Rib Supper was held Satur-
day, April 20 at the Kadoka City
Auditorium. This benefit is held
every year to raise money for ongo-
ing projects at the nursing home.
This event helps defray much of
the out of pocket costs for those
projects.
The event showcased twenty-
one eye-catching tables which were
hosted and decorated by various
ladies. Each table reflected a theme
represented through the adorn-
ments added to the table. Decora-
tions ranged from Kadoka Kougars
theme to elegant with fine china to
patriotic. Depending on which
hostess the guests bought their
tickets from determined what table
each guest would sit at.
Tickets for the supper were $50
per ticket, and tickets for the occa-
sion were sold out. A total of 168
guests were to be served with only
two guests unable to attend.
Guests from surrounding areas as
well as Kadoka attended the event.
The prime rib was prepared and
cooked by Gene, Dale and Logan
Christensen. It took a whopping
180 pounds of prime rib to serve all
those attending. There were also
many volunteers working together
to prepare the food with the gym-
nastics team, rodeo club, 4-H club
and other local youth helping to
serve the guest tables.
Once supper had been served
and enjoyed by all, guests were
treated to some outstanding musi-
cal talent provided by Mikayla
Rogers and Jessica Bachman. Both
girls are sophomores at Rapid City
Annual Kadoka Nursing Home
Prime Rib Supper a success

Read 1 John 5:14-15
One question reverberates through the heart of
nearly all Christians at some point in their faith walk:
If God knows everything about me, why do I need to
pray to have my needs met? The Lord has specific rea-
sons for not using His omnipotence to respond to certain desires and hurts unless we share those things
with Him.
God encourages us to pray in order to build an intimate personal relationship between Himself and
us. He is interested in much more than meeting our needs; He also wants to become our source of strength
in every trial. We know from experience that developing any friendship takes a commitment of time.
Quick three-minute prayersthough valuable and important for maintaining continuous fragrant in-
cense before Godare not enough to sustain a personal connection with our Father.
James 1:17 says, Every good gift . . . is from above (niv). The Lord wants us to acknowledge Him as
the source of all our blessings. Directing our prayers toward God and trusting that they will be answered
in His will and timing strengthens our awareness that without Him, we can achieve nothing. In the Chris-
tian life, our dependence upon God grows in direct proportion to our spiritual maturity. Such a concept
runs contrary to our nature and culture, which prizes independence above all else.
We are privileged to belong to a God who desires a Father-child relationship with us. He could certainly
meet our needs without a single word from us, but then we would never know the wonder of asking and
receiving in love.
Prayer: A Great Privilege

June Wanczyk, age 85 of Wall,
S.D., died Saturday, April 20, 2013,
at the Hans P. Peterson Memorial
Hospital in Philip.
June Ailene Weller was born
June 6, 1927, at Arriba, Colo., the
daughter of Leonard Bill and
Stella (Anderson) Weller. She grew
up and received her education in
Arriba, graduating from Arriba
High School in May 1945. She at-
tended Bonnie Beauty School in
Denver, graduating in November
1946.
She met her husband to be in
Denver and was married to Joseph
L. Wanczyk on June 10, 1947, at
Sacred Heart Catholic Church in
Denver. A son, Gerard, was born to
this union on December 3, 1954.
The family moved to Philip in May
1957 to manage the Senechal Hotel
with her father, L.G. Weller, who
owned it. In July 1962, he passed
away so they bought the hotel from
the estate.
June later found that her heart
was not in beauty work, so after
talking with her family, decided to
go back to nursing school at the age
of 43. In 1969, June began nursing
school at Presentation College in
Aberdeen. June made it home often
during college, or the family would
travel to Aberdeen to see each
other. In May 1973, June gradu-
ated from nursing school, the same
week that their son graduated from
Philip High School.
June worked as a nurse for 30
years, retiring at the age of 78.
June and Joe worked at Sacred
Heart Parish and were always glad
when they could help. June and Joe
later moved to Wall, and became
members of St. Patricks Catholic
Church of Wall.
Survivors include her husband,
Joe Wanczyk, Wall; her son, Gerard
Jerry Wanczyk and his wife,
Colleen, Glenview, Ill.; a grandson,
Jordan Wanczyk, Milwaukee, Wis.;
a sister, Shirley Josserand and her
husband, Orville, Kadoka; two
brothers, Harold D. Weller and his
wife, Clara Belle, Kadoka, and
William Oscar Weller and his wife,
Jean, Kadoka; and numerous
nieces and nephews.
June was preceded in death by
her parents; two sisters, Ivalene
Weller and Marjorie Borbely; and
two brothers, Duane and Robert
Weller.
Mass of Christian burial will be
celebrated at 10:00 a.m. Thursday,
April 25, at St. Patricks Catholic
Church in Wall, with Father Leo
Hausmann as celebrant.
Interment will be 1:30 p.m. on
Thursday, April 25, at the Black
Hills National Cemetery near Stur-
gis.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial is
established to the Philip Nursing
Home.
Arrangements are with the
Rush Funeral Chapel of Wall.

able at www.rushfuneralhome.com
June Wanczyk___________________
In a world of selfishness, dishon-
esty, and discrimination, how do
our children find their way? Con-
ventional wisdom says that we
only learn by example, and just
look at what examples abound:
selfishness with criminals like
Bernie Madoff and other Wall-
street scoundrels; dishonesty with
blatant false marketing by actors
on TV; and discrimination by
politicians against people of other
religions, other sexual orientation,
other cultures, other anything. In-
deed, if our children only learned
by these kinds of examples, we
would be in big trouble. But here
is where mental health and choice
comes in.
During our lives, especially
when young, every one of us must
be on a quest for meaning, and ex-
perts say that mostly we find our
way by choosing examples for liv-
ing. I learned first from my par-
ents' and then there was the
farmer who taught work ethic, the
football coach who taught tough-
ness, the debate coach who taught
intellectual curiosity, the college
classmate who taught kindness,
and the med school professor who
taught the importance of honest
science. It is true that we grow
most, not from books, conferences,
lectures, or rules, but rather by ex-
ample from the heroes around us.
The religious expert Joseph
Cambell taught us that the heros
quest is a story that come from
every culture as a metaphor to
help us in our search for meaning.
The classic hero story of Greek
mythology begins with an innocent
baby, born from one mortal parent
crossed with a god, who somehow
escapes an evil menace, and as a
young adult embarks on some
quest to find meaning. This adven-
ture commonly finds the hero self-
lessly slaying an evil dragon to
save an innocent damsel while
bringing back truth and justice to
the nearby village.
The modern hero story is one of
a flawed ordinary person, someone
with whom each of us can relate,
who comes up out of the morass of
our modern troubled society to
stand for something that gives di-
rection and meaning to our lives.
The modern hero is someone
each of us could be. We can try,
even in a flawed way, to live a life
that is not selfish, but helpful to
others; not dishonest, but truthful
while considerate; not with cruel
discrimination, but respectful of
the rights of others who may be
different.
There could be a hero within
every one of us.
Rick Holm, M.D., Medical Editor
The flawed hero within us
I find it quite amusing that
some of the brightest and richest
people in our country do not seem
to have a clue as to what they are
doing. Most do not have the com-
mon sense that God gave to a
caterpillar. As Abraham Lincoln
used to say, common sense is not
as common as it used to be. Amen,
to that one.
The financial experts are telling
us that we need to buy gold or sil-
ver to safeguard our investments.
I am way ahead of the game. Sev-
eral years ago, I got a gold tooth.
Fortunately, for me, I got it before
the financial crisis in our country.
I cannot tell you what a remark-
able feeling it is to walk around
with your fortune in your mouth.
I hear about all of the invest-
ment schemes that are supposed to
make me rich. I have a sneaking
suspicion that the only people get-
ting rich are those with the invest-
ment schemes. They want us to
buy stocks and bonds and futures.
I never heard of anything so silly
in all my life.
What would I do with stocks,
bonds and futures, whatever in the
world they are, in my portfolio. I
have no idea what a portfolio is but
I am certain it has something to do
with these investment schemes. I
just do not want anybody folioing
around with my port, thank you
very much, sir.
If I got my facts right, and I
looked it up in the dictionary, port
has something to do with wine.
Why would I want to put a bottle
of port into my folio and pretend it
is some kind of an investment?
I really have to give it to these
investment schemers. They really
know how to pull the wool over our
eyes. I want to go on record as say-
ing that they are not pulling any
wool over my eyes. Just leave my
wool alone. If I want my wool
pulled, it certainly will not be over
my eyes, I will tell you that right
here. This wool pulling sounds
more like sheep fleecing to me, and
I want nothing to do with it.
For me I have discovered a way
of safeguarding my wealth. My
basic financial philosophy is sim-
ply spend less than I make. I know
that is a revolutionary concept in
today's world, but it has stood me
in good stead for many a year.
We live in a culture that has ab-
solutely no spending control what-
soever. This culture does not know
the relationship between saving
money and spending money.
For example. The Gracious Mis-
tress of the Parsonage came home
the other day and in a very exuber-
ant tone told me how much she
saved at the grocery store. "I saved
$119.23 today at the grocery store.
Isn't that terrific?"
Being the humble, demure sort
of guy that I am, I did not ask her
a question that was buzzing
around my head at the time. The
question was, how much did it cost
me to save you that much money?
Keeping close tabs on my investments
Having a happy home is more
important to me than exploring
truth at its core. Especially in this
area.
My financial strategy down
through the years has been a very
regular and wise investment plan.
I am not quite sure how I came up
with this marvelous plan, but one
day it just hit me. Ever since that
time, I have been using my finan-
cial investment plan.
My investment plan only cost
me $19.79 back in the year of our
Lord 1986. Since that time, it has
faithfully served me and I have no
complaints.
I have through the years
thought about upgrading my in-
vestment plan, but then what
would the purpose be?
Back in 1986, I saw in the men's
department of the JCPenney store
in our community a very nicely tai-
lored navy blue and gold striped
gentleman's vest. It immediately
caught my attention and as I ex-
amined it, I noticed that inside
this vest was a variety of pockets.
I looked at them and that is when
it hit me.
Down through the years I have
often wondered why somebody else
did not come up with this idea. I
guess I am just a genius.
I bought the vest and brought it
home and hung it in my closet
after I first labeled each of the in-
side pockets. There was a pocket
for dollar bills, one for five-dollar
bills, one for ten-dollar bills and
one that I do not use as often for
$20 bills.
Every time I have a little bit of
change left over I go to my closet
turned to my best and invest that
money where nobody can find it.
My investment plan is more or
less an in and out exchange pro-
gram. When I have a need, I some-
times divest some money. Through
the years, it has been a great bless-
ing in my investment plan and is
something that I am rather proud
of.
Solomon put it in great perspec-
tive concerning wealth when he
said, "Remove far from me vanity
and lies: give me neither poverty
nor riches; feed me with food con-
venient for me: lest I be full, and
deny thee, and say, Who is the
LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal,
and take the name of my God in
vain" ( Proverbs 30:8-9 KJV).
My investment plan is well but-
toned up for future security.

Several local girls are currently
planning a mission trip to the Do-
minican Republic in June. They at-
tended church in Belvidere on
Sunday and took turns telling
about their plans which included
helping to teach Bible school and
also constructing some buildings.
Those currently planning to go in-
clude Maria and Marti Herber,
Taylor Merchen, Kate Rasmussen,
Mariah Pierce, Cassie DeRocher,
and Jamie Brown. Lynn Herber
will go as well. It is only scheduled
to last ten days or so but those
going hope to be helpful as well as
learn more about missions. Anyone
wishing to help with donations
should talk to Lynn Herber.
Larry and Joy Dolezal attended
and helped with the nursing home
supper and benefit held on Satur-
day evening in Kadoka. Larry was
pleased to have four of his five
granddaughters there at his table.
Those included Kayla and Joanna
Nemec, Sarah DeVries, and Trisha
(DeVries) Bork. Only Beth (Nemec)
wasnt there since she lives in Den-
ver. Kayla and Joanna stayed with
Larry and Joy while they were
here. They are both attending the
School of Mines in Rapid City and
are almost done for the year except
for final exams and such. Sarah
stayed in Belvidere with her dad,
Tom DeVries, and came across the
street to church with him on Sun-
day morning.
Nikki Bonenberger attended the
nursing home banquet on Saturday
as well. She and her mom, Diane
McDaniels, of Philip prepared one
of the tables. Nikki also helped
Pam Bonenberger with her table.
There was a nice turnout and the
evening went well. Earlier in the
week, Nikki and kids, MaKaylan
and McCoy, had things turn out not
quite so well when they were in-
volved in a car accident in Kadoka.
It was at low speed and no one got
hurt, but Nikkis vehicle was still
pretty much totaled. She was re-
lieved that there were no injuries,
and the car can be replaced.
Aaron, Michelle, and Tyrel
Mansfield were visited on Friday
and Saturday by Michelles folks,
Bill and Pauline Jones, of Rapid
City. Michelles folks are planning
a trip to Atlanta, Georgia this com-
ing week to visit their son and de-
cided to just run down and see
their daughter and family before
heading out.
Chuck and Merry Willard went
to Rapid City on Friday. They met
up with their daughter, Niki Klein-
sasser, of Hot Springs and did a lit-
tle shopping. They also got to see
their son, Casey, and his kids,
Faron and Riley. They had planned
to see Niki, but hadnt with Casey.
If Coleen had come from Wyoming,
they could have had a complete
family reunion. Back at home,
Merry said theyve had to keep
their chickens penned up lately
until they can get a new fence built
around the yard. The silly birds
like to munch on emerging tulips
and other plants and dig holes here
and there. The supplies for build-
ing the fence are on hand but just
not yet installed.
A school board election was held
last week with voting being done at
the church hall. Those on the elec-
tion board included Dana Badure,
Jodie OBryan, and Mary Johnston.
Cole Hindman said he hasnt
been away from home much lately
as calving is in full swing and the
weather has made that difficult
part of the time. He used to com-
pete in rodeos quite a bit in the
saddle bronc part, but that has
been put on hold for the last year
although it might be brought back
some time in the future.
Bill and Norma Headlee have
also been pinned down quite a bit
of late due to being busy at the vet
clinic. Norma said there have re-
cently been quite a few night calls.
They have just been riding out the
storms and dealing with peoples
calving difficulties. Last weekend,
Headlees were visited by their
daughter, Corale Dorn, and her
husband, Dan, and kids of Dell
Rapids. Tom DeVries came out to
see them and spend some time. A
couple of vet students also stopped
by to see the Headlees operation
since they are interns and trying to
get experience.
Mike Livermont and Amelia
have been snowbound part of the
time recently. Mike said they didnt
move a vehicle, including four-
wheelers, for a few days, but are
enjoying the moisture and the fact
that some dams are getting some
runoff. On Sunday, Mike and
Amelia put some beef ribs in a
crock pot with pineapple, onion,
and brown sugar. That evening,
they loaded up the ribs and took
them to Philip to share with
Amelias folks, Leo and Mary Anne
Stoner. Baked potatoes and salad
completed the meal.
Syd, Corinne, and Chance Iwan
were visited on Monday by Alec
and Lynn Wendell of Glenfield,
New York. Alec pastored the
Belvidere Church from 1973 to
1977 while Lynn, also a pastor,
served a church in Philip. They
were making a trip around the
country visiting friends and rela-
tives since they are now retired and
can get away when they feel like it.
Alec enjoyed getting updated on
the people he knows. He also vis-
ited Phyllis Word in Kadoka while
here. The Wendells have four kids
with two daughters and their fam-
ilies near them in New York. An-
other daughter is in Poland, and
their son and family is in Florida.
There are numerous grandkids.
Gary McCubbin also dropped by a
few days before the Wendells.
Ive had to be on my best behav-
ior all week. Weve had ministers
dropping by right and left. One
wants to give a good impression
and all that. This might include
keeping your clothes hung up in-
stead of draped around on the fur-
niture. Naturally, if you have any
whiskey bottles or poker chips
lying about you might want to put
those under cover. Actually, we
never have any whiskey bottles or
poker chips to worry about, but
you get the idea.
As a kid, I remember my mom
always hiding any decks of cards
that were visible when a certain
minister came to call. Im not sure
if the reverend was against all
cards or maybe just gambling, but
Mom wasnt taking any chances.
The folks were avid whist and
bridge players, and Dad played
many other games including crib-
bage, five-hundred etc. I couldnt
see much wrong with those activi-
ties so hiding cards seemed a bit
odd to me.
I always chuckle when I think of
one local fellow who got a visit
from his priest. This guys normal
speech was liberally sprinkled
with swear words. He barely said
anything without adding some
curses for emphasis. Anyway, in
the presence of the priest, he was
barely able to talk for fear of say-
ing the wrong thing. He got
through the visit by saying very
little, but he was fairly tongue-tied
all through it and he wasnt a quiet
man by nature.
This is somewhat similar to see-
ing a police car when youre out
driving. You just naturally slow
down whether or not youre speed-
ing. You might even cast around in
your mind for any other possible
violations of law that might be no-
ticeable. In this area, we are some-
what prone to making U-turns in
the middle of Main Street in order
to park in front of a certain store
instead of across the street from it.
This is frowned on in some towns
so seeing a police cruiser might in-
spire us to drive around the block
so we can park where we want
without making a U-turn. One
local store has a parking lot across
from them so I have found myself
sometimes going into that lot,
turning around, and driving across
the street to park in front. Im not
exactly sure if that is more law-
abiding than making a Uee, but I
do it anyway.
By one local town on the Inter-
state, experience has taught me
that the Highway Patrol likes to
sneakily park between lanes just
over one little knoll. That way, you
dont see the patrol car until it is
too late to reduce speed if neces-
sary. It catches a lot of people un-
aware if you go by the speeding
tickets published in the paper from
time to time. Naturally, when I am
in that area, my speed is strictly
within the limit which it mostly is
anyway, but occasionally Im going
a mile or two faster than what is
allowed.
All of this behavior modification
is naturally geared to making a
good impression on someone or
other. We want them to think well
of us, and many women especially
want their houses shipshape be-
fore having visitors. I recall when
it was Moms turn to host Ladies
Aid (church womens group,) she
would often enlist my help in vac-
uuming, dusting, washing win-
dows and the like. It was
important to her for things to look
nice so I didnt object all that much
to helping, but I was also relieved
when it was over so I could go back
to not worrying about being ex-
tremely tidy all the time.
The best thing to do, obviously,
is to always live in such a way that
there is nothing objectionable in
your behavior or lifestyle to worry
about. Sometimes that is tricky, of
course, so we have to occasionally
make last minute corrections.
Better yet, just associate with
those people who like you as you
are and are somewhat blind to
your faults. They shouldnt be com-
pletely blind since friends some-
times need to help you steer a
better course, but somewhat blind.
The other evening, our minister
asked if he could catch a ride back
to his home after a meeting at the
church since his wife needed their
car to take someone else home. I
said, Sure. Just give me a minute
to clear out the beer cans. Gary
just laughed and said, I wont
look. That really is what is
needed. Friends who dont look, or,
if they do, still think the best of
you and like you anyway
Good Behavior

Evan and Dorothy Bligh went to
Rapid City on business Monday.
Evan kept an eye appointment and
came home with new glasses.
Monday, June Ring was among
the folks attending the funeral
services for Lizzie Stone in Rose-
bud. Our hearts go out to her dear
friends and family at this sad time.
Tuesday, Dan and Susan Taft
went to Martin for his physical
therapy treatment and received a
call that Morgan had sprained her
ankle really bad. Heather brought
Morgan to Martin and luckily there
were no broken bones, so perhaps
with a little tender care it will heal
up in time for the first track meet.
The Tafts were supper guests of
Susans parents, Alvin and Judy
Simmons, that evening.
Tuesday night Julie Letellier
came and was prepared to stay and
help on Wednesday if the predicted
storm arrived. It stormed all right
and Todd County closed school so
she was kept busy.
June Ring hosted the Mellette
County Cattlewomen meeting at
the White River Museum on Friday
afternoon.
The April storms have been
causing havoc with the school track
schedule and school in general
these days. Wednesday, was an-
other late start or close for this
area. No school here in Norris,
White River or Todd County on
Monday due to the snowfall
overnight and it is still snowing. It
was in the 50s the day before and a
wonderful spring day. We are very
grateful for the moisture and the
ground is drinking every drop that
falls, too.
Congratulations to Morgan Taft.
Morgan placed first in the eighth
grade Modern Woodman of Amer-
ica speech contest. Morgan gave
her speech on Walt Disney and how
no one ever encouraged him in his
scribbles and doodles. That evening
Morgan stayed with friends in
White River and attended the
Michael Glenn Coalition Talent
Contest.
Friday, Sharon Ring accompa-
nied JoAnn Letellier to Kadoka
and helped set up tables and deco-
rate in preparation for the nursing
home benefit supper.
Friday night the Jason Burma
family of Sunshine Bible Academy
near Miller, arrived at the James
Letellier ranch for the weekend.
Sunshine Bible Academy held their
prom in Pierre on Friday. Jason
and JaLynn are the senior class
sponsors. They just called and said
it is the first time in ages that Sun-
shine has called off classes but all
the students were away for the
weekend and all were affected by
the storm, because it is so wide
spread.
Saturday, Sharon and June Ring
accompanied Jan Ring to Gregory
for the Chamberlain zone
Lutheran Womens Missionary
League. When the gals headed for
home there were snow flurries and
31 degrees and when they got home
the sun was shining and 51. That
is how unpredictable this April has
been.
Saturday afternoon, Edna Kary
visited in the home of Maxine Al-
lard. When I called Maxine she
said, I am snowed in just like
everyone else.
Saturday evening June Ring
was a guest at the home of her son,
Bruce, and family to help Reno cel-
ebrate his seventh birthday.
Happy belated birthday, Reno!
Sharon Ring and JoAnn Letel-
lier were among those helping with
and enjoying the prime rib benefit
supper for the nursing home at
Kadoka on Saturday night. The
gals decorated one of the tables for
it, too. It sounded like a lovely
event and so festive with 21 differ-
ently decorated tables in all.
Charlie Totton of Chamberlain
sold 52 bulls at the Pharo Cattle
Company sale at Burlington, Col-
orado on Monday at April 22, 2013.
The Totton Angus bulls averaged
$4,300. While there, Charlie also
bought two bulls for Joe Kary. The
bulls were sired by the Angus bull
Dunlouise Jipsy Earl E161 with
semen brought over to this country
from Scotland.
Word has also been received that
Erna Totton was hospitalized in
Sioux Falls with pneumonia over
the weekend. Erna was doing much
better on Monday.
This has been a very long emo-
tional week in the United States.
Monday, we were in the middle of
calving (like so many others in the
area) in a spring storm and strug-
gling to keep them dry and alive.
Life is our business. It seems we
are constantly battling to keep
everything alive from grass, flow-
ers, crops to cattle. Our biggest
enemy is the elements like snow,
fire and wind; we need every one of
them to survive, too. It is only
when they get out of control that
we are in danger. Our greatest as-
sets are our neighbors.
We turned on the TV only to see
the horrific live pictures from the
Boston Marathon bombings; people
running to save their lives and the
lives of others. I cannot find the
words to describe what I saw or
felt. I was mad, scared, heartbro-
ken and angry. Among the heroes
was a guy wearing a cowboy hat.
That didnt surprise me at all, did
it you? That guy stood out like a
sore thumb, but he wasnt suspi-
cious, he was doing the right thing.
Instantly I realized that life is
every ones business.
On Friday night, I was so happy
and very proud to be an American.
I couldnt help but cry, when I saw
the Bostonians celebrating in the
streets over the capture of the loose
suspect. What a happy sight! That
is how freedom is celebrated in
America, we werent there, but we
were sure there in spirit.
God Bless the United States of
America!
Have a great week!
Vernon Uhlir (L), Al Badure, Bev McDaniel, Bill and Diane McDaniel enjoyed ap-
petizers at Pam Bonenbergers table.
Kerri Schofield was hostess to Ella Hindman, Pat Jensen, Gary and Linda Petras.
Joan Letelliers elegantly decorated table was enjoyed by family and friends. Joy Dolezals table was presented in an elegant fashion.

18. He is the first child of the
McBrides and was named Brekkin
Paul, was nine pounds 12 ounces
and is 21 long. Local grandparents

Mitch Moor of Pierre was home
to visit for the weekend. He accom-
panied his parents, Deb and Marv,
to the dinner on Saturday evening
presented by the Kadoka Nursing
Home. Just before attending, the
Moors had an unexpected surprise
visit from Deb's dad, Hank Kosters
of Pierre, and her aunt, Betty
Schlueter of Mitchell. The two were
returning from a visit to several
relatives living around Washington
state, stopping at Wright, Wyo. to
visit brother Ed Kosters. The two
were accompanied on their journey
by Morris and Janice Kosters of
Rapid City.
Viola Olney is still a patient in
Rochester, MN, but is doing better.
She was at a therapy center and
had to return to the hospital be-
cause of a problem, but as of Friday
she is back at the Cannon Falls
Center. Russ, Rusty and Marcy are
still with her. Her address there
during her recuperation is Mayo
Clinic, 1116 W. Mill St., Cannon
Falls, MN. 55009, if anyone would
like to send her a card.
After the bombing at the
marathon in Boston I talked to Tim
Huffman to make sure Curtis was-
nt there. He said that he had done
the Boston Marathon but not this
year. He is hoping to run
marathons in every state and his
next one will be in Toledo, OH, on
April 27.
Karen and Harvey Bryd trav-
eled to Rochester, MN, on Thurs-
day for a medical appointment.
While there Harvey was taken to

and was diagnosed with gall
stones. He underwent surgery Sun-
day afternoon for removal of his
gall bladder and the stones. Their
daughters, Brook and Tessie, are
with their parents having left from
Sioux Falls over the weekend.
Hopefully by the time the paper is
in the mail boxes, they will be able
to come home. Lois Pettyjohn got a
call Monday morning and he is
doing very well.
Lloyd and Terri Johnston ar-
rived back in Kadoka on Monday
afternoon, April 15. They had spent
the winter months in Arizona and
maybe wish they had spent an-
other week or so there as the
Kadoka area has had two snow
storms since they came home. It
has been wonderful moisture and
warmer weather is coming for later
this week. Welcome back home.
Pat Brown of the Denver, CO,
area came to Kadoka on Wednes-

PRE-SCHOOL/KINDERGARTEN
SCREENING
The Kadoka Area School District will be conducting their an-
nual pre-school and kindergarten screening on Tuesday, May
14th. All pre-school children ages birth through five and any six-
year-olds that are new to the district and have not previously
been screened are eligible for testing. This includes all children
in the Kadoka Area School District -- Kadoka, Long Valley, In-
terior and Midland. Sara Speer, Birth to Three Coordinator, will
be available for testing and questions.
This screening is free and will help determine the specific
needs of individual children. It will help answer questions about
developmental progress or school readiness skills. The pre-
school screening will include a check of speech, language, vi-
sion, hearing and motor skill development. Someone from
Jackson County Health will be there to conduct the hearing and
vision screening and to check shot records.

Parents are asked to call Danielle at 837-2173 and register
their children. Only those kindergarten children not already at-
tending pre-school need to call and register. This will help in
child count for pre-school and kindergarten enrollment.

Parents will be called to schedule appointments for this
screening. Parents with questions concerning the screening
and/or scheduling are requested to call the elementary office or
Pam Bonenberger, pre-school/speech, or Becky Keegan,
kindergarten, at 837-2173.
There will also be Head Start sign up.

SOLD! The rhythmic chant of
the auctioneer caught the attention
of Austin Thayer at an early age.
He has been sold on the idea of
learning the song of the auctioneer
ever since.
Austin, at age 17, is in the begin-
ning stages of becoming a profes-
sional auctioneer. The son of
Veldon and Mickie Thayer of Mar-
tin, Austin is a junior at Kadoka
High School.
Ive always been interested in
how auctioneering works. Ive
spent a lot of time listening and
asking about how its done, re-
marked Austin.
He first tested his auctioneering
yodel last summer for Lonnie Arne-
son of Arneson Auction Service. Ar-
neson was impressed, and gave
Austin some pointers, including in-
formal riddles to improve his fast
speaking abilities.
Austins skills improved quickly,
and he now works part time for the
Arneson Auction Service of New

Betty Bauder bought some but-
ter. But, she said, this butters
bitter. Say that ten times fast!
Austin can do just that. This classic
tongue twister is his favorite to
practice as he works to improve his
auctioneer skills.
According to Teri Ann Arneson,
Austin is a very dedicated young
man who always has a smile on his
face. We are lucky to have him as
part of our crew.
Austins work ethic carries over
to his scholastic endeavors, where
he is involved with FFA, is Junior
Class president and is a member of
the national Honor Society. Austin
is also President Elect for the Re-
gional Student Council. He is also
a member of the Eagles 4-H Club of
Bennett County.
This summers activities for
Austin include attending the World
Wide Auction College in Mason
City Iowa, where he will further
develop his professional skills.
Im looking forward to learning
how to make myself better. I want
to get to be the best I can, added
Austin. Its really fun. My favorite
part is meeting all the new people
at each sale.

Sand County Foundation, the
South Dakota Cattlemen's Associa-
tion and the South Dakota Grass-
land Coalition are proud to
announce The Guptill Ranch as the
recipient of the 2013 Leopold Con-
servation Award, which honors
South Dakota landowner achieve-
ment in voluntary stewardship and
management of natural resources.
"Having grown up on a farm, I
know how precious the land is to
South Dakotans who owe their
livelihoods to our natural re-
sources," said South Dakota Gover-
nor Dennis Daugaard. "Farmers
and ranchers, such as the Guptill
Family, take great care to maintain
those resources for generations to
come.
Guptill Ranch in western South
Dakota is a 7,000-acre cattle oper-
ation near Quinn. Pat and Mary
Lou Guptill have owned and oper-
ated this family-run ranch for the
past 25 years. With their five chil-
dren, they are caretakers of this
special landscape in western South
Dakota. The area features grass-
lands with rolling hills and a main
wooded creek running through the
ranch.
In 2000, as their children grew
older, the Guptills decided to make
changes to lower production costs
and enhance the health of the land
to make the ranch better and bring
their family home.
Innovation and change have
been beneficial to the operation, ac-
cording to Pat Guptill.
"The more we change, the more
we learn," Guptill said. "We hope
we can help other producers bypass
all the mistakes we made along the
way to make their operations work.
Our goal is to make the land better
for future generations."
"The foreword to A Sand County
Almanac, Aldo Leopold's environ-
mental classic, points out, 'When
we see land as a community to
which we belong, we may begin to
use it with love and respect.' You
are unlikely to find agriculturalists
elsewhere in our United States
who exceed the Guptill family's use
of land with love and respect." said
Brent Haglund, president, Sand
County Foundation.
The $10,000 award and a crystal
depicting Aldo Leopold, will be pre-
sented to the Guptills at the South
Dakota Cattlemen's Association's
Annual Convention in December.
The ranch will also be featured
during a ranch tour this summer.
The Leopold Conservation
Award is presented in honor of
renowned conservationist and au-
thor Aldo Leopold, who called for
an ethical relationship between
people and the land they own and
manage. Award applicants are
judged based on their demonstra-
tion of improved resource condi-
tions, innovation, long-term
commitment to stewardship, sus-
tained economic viability, commu-
nity and civic leadership, and
multiple use benefits.
"The South Dakota Cattlemen's
Association is proud to recognize
the Guptills for implementing re-
sponsible stewardship practices on
their ranch and working to best
utilize the resources required to
meet the needs of a growing popu-
lation," said Cory Eich, president,
South Dakota Cattlemen's Associa-
tion.
"I applaud the Guptill's careful
efforts to manage the health of
their land and to hand that ethic
down to the next generation," said
Jim Faulstich, chairman, South
Dakota Grassland Coalition.
The Leopold Conservation
Award in South Dakota is possible
thanks to generous contributions
from many organizations, includ-
ing: American State Bank, Belle
Fourche River Watershed Partner-
ship, Daybreak Ranch, Ducks Un-
limited, Farm Credit, The Lynde
and Harry Bradley Foundation,
Millborn Seeds, Mortenson Family,
Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS), Partners for Fish
& Wildlife, Professional Alliance,

tricts, South Dakota Department of

Dakota Game, Fish & Parks, South

South Dakota hay prices have
been at high levels throughout the
2012 marketing year. Based on
numbers from the National Agri-
cultural Statistics Service, March
alfalfa prices were at $230 per ton
and have remained steady for sev-
eral months. The March price for
other hay reached a record high of
$170 per ton.
Usually, such high prices result
in a shift in production and use.
However, other commodity prices
and input costs are higher too,
said Matthew Diersen, South
Dakota State University Extension
risk/business management special-
ist. He added that looking at this
year's hay prices by adjusting for
inflation shows that prices are also
at record-high levels on a real
basis.
Despite a price index, with 1982
as the base year that has doubled
in recent years, the real price of
hay in South Dakota had not been
above $70 per ton during the past
decade, Diersen said.
The last peak in real prices hap-
pened in the 2002 drought year
when the price reached $79 per
ton. Diersen said 2013s record
rates are due to in 2012, South
Dakota producers had expected to
harvest 3.5 million acres of hay;
and higher expected returns for
other crops and drought conditions
combined to reduce harvested acres
to only 3.1 million acres. To top
that off, yields were low, limiting
supply. The result was that price
increased to the high nominal lev-
els and a real price of $100 per
ton, he said.
Price prospects continue to favor
sellers over buyers. Fall disap-
pearance was unusually large leav-
ing a stocks level on Decemer 1,
2012, of only 4.3 million tons. The
stocks level was the smallest since
January 1, 1977, following the
1976 drought, Diersen said.
He said current stocks are also
similar to the levels in late 1989
when there were only 3.35 million
head of cattle in South Dakota in-
ventories. On January 1, 2013,
there were 3.85 million head.
Diersen said modeling historic
stock levels and winter use gives
competing views of just how little
hay may be left in South Dakota.
Usually, much of the hay produced
in South Dakota is used for feed
and not sold. As part of the collec-
tive feed inventory, one could take
the December 1 stocks and use
them evenly over the remaining six
months of the feeding year,
Diersen said.
He shared an example: on May 1
only one-sixth of the December 1
4.3 million tons in inventory may
remain, or only 0.72 million tons.
Most years, producers try to main-
tain a surplus over that level. Like-
wise, high prices may mean some
hay that was raised for on-farm use
enters the marketing channel, he
said. Factoring in the high price
level actually forecasts a negative
stocks level for May 1.
The high real price would nor-
mally result in sharply higher hay
acres in South Dakota. Solid ex-
pected returns for other crops and
the presence of revenue insurance
have limited hay to an expected 3.1
million acres. Diersen said a tight
old crop supply, low expected pro-
duction for 2013 and no difference
in the national picture combine to
suggest high hay prices will con-
tinue for the 2013 marketing year.
Tight hay supplies and
high prices to continue
The City of Faith will use an
$800,000 grant to build a multi-use
community safe room that can
serve as a public shelter against se-
vere storms.
The funding comes through the
Hazard Mitigation Grant program,
a 75/25 percent federal-to-local
match program, according to Nicole
Prince, hazard mitigation officer
for the South Dakota Office of
Emergency Management.
The federal share is through
FEMA (Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency), and while this
multi-purpose room may be used as
a gym and cafeteria for the Faith
school, it will be designed to offer
what is called near absolute pro-
tection to occupants during ex-
treme wind storms and tornadoes,
Prince said.
The citys application for the
grant said that Faith typically ex-
periences at least two extreme
wind events a year. In the past 30
years, those storms have caused 40
reported injuries and more than $8
million in property and crop dam-
age. In the summer of 2006, two ex-
treme wind storms downed trees,
knocked out power and caused
more than $250,000 in damage in
Faith.
In the past, citizens in the area
took shelter at the school during
major storms. That structure was
condemned in 2004 and later torn
down, leaving area residents with-
out a public shelter. The new safe
room will have an occupancy rating
of 875 people.

SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT: Supt.
Hermann reported that the FY 12 audit
report has been accepted by the S.D.
Department of Legislative Audit. The
audit report review with the auditor has
been postponed due to weather.
Supt. Hermann reviewed policy items to
be reviewed by the policy committee
meeting. The policy committee meeting
will be held April 17th.
PRINCIPALS REPORTS: Mr. Seiler pre-
sented and reviewed proposed changes
to the student handbook. He proposed
making a change to senior privileges
from senior privileges last period of the
day to open campus. Senior students
who are eligible for privileges would be
allowed to leave campus during their free
period(s). The goal is to build student re-
sponsibility and could be a factor in the
students selection of course electives.

plex scoreboard is done; school person-
nel will be traveling to Brookings to get
the scoreboard; the welding work that
needs to be done for the extension is
scheduled.

a request that the name of the football
field be reverted to Solon Field. The

name will be Jackson County Sports
Complex.

sions to the elementary handbook.

SD Drought Tool Available
to Assist in Your Planning
The following information was
taken from Drought Planning Up-
date, Grassland Drought Condi-
tion and the NRCS SD Drought
Tool, April 2013 information
sheet.
The South Dakota NRCS devel-
oped and utilizes a tool to assess
drought conditions using local pre-
cipitation data to model impacts to
grazing lands production. The SD
NRCS Drought Tool uses long-
term (30-50 year) and short-term
precipitation, including data from
High Plains Regional Climate
Center and the SD State Univer-
sity (SDSU) state climatologist.
Understanding current drought
conditions stirs difficult questions:
How will the 2012 drought im-
pact the upcoming 2013 growing
season?
What will it take for grasslands
to recover from drought?
Our current grassland drought
conditions reflect the effects of pre-
cipitation and soil moisture
deficits originating in 2012. Using
current drought conditions in con-
junction with historic average
long-term data, we can project fu-
ture grazing land production
across SD. South Dakota grass-
lands typically reach peak produc-
tion by early July. This data is
used to predict peak forage produc-
tion. This tool can be helpful in the
development and/or modification
of a contingency drought manage-
ment plan, as well.
To learn more about this tool
and its benefits, access the follow-
ing website listed below:
http://www.sd.nrcs.usda.gov/tech-
nical/Range_Pasture.html
Managing Soil Health
on Your Lands
Soil health and rainfall manage-
ment are priorities for SD NRCS
in 2013. There has been a great
deal of information developed and
assembled by means of videos and
Fuel/Oil Storage
Regulations
The May 10, 2013 deadline for
the EPA Spill Prevention Control
and Containment (SPCC) regula-
tion is rapidly approaching. Facil-
ities that have capacity to store
more than 1320 gallons of diesel,
fuel oil, gasoline, crop oil, used oil,
and/or animal fat in 55 gallon con-
tainers or larger need to complete
a SPCC plan and install secondary
containment for these containers.
Producers who have total stor-
age of less than 10,000 gallons can
self-certify or employ a profes-
sional engineer to complete their
plan and design their secondary
containment system. Those with
storage of 10,000 gallons or more
must hire a professional engineer.
If you have storage capacity for
more than 1320 gallons of petro-
leum products, and do not have
secondary containment for those
containers in place, it is not likely
that you will be able to do so by the
May 10, 2013 deadline. It is recom-
mended that you proceed as soon
as possible to install secondary
containment, but in the meantime,
go ahead and complete an SPCC
plan.
If you choose to self-certify, you
can download a Tier 1 Qualified
Facility SPCC Plan Template from
the EPA website:
http://www.epa.gov/emergencies/co
ntent/spcc/tier1temp.htm. A Tier 1
facility must meet the following
criteria: total aboveground oil stor-
age capacity of 10,000 U.S. gallons
or less, no aboveground oil storage
containers with capacity greater
than 5,000 U.S. gallons, and no
discharges of oil in the 3 years be-
fore the SPCC plan is certified in-
volving a single discharge greater
Springtime is an excellent time
to vaccinate their horses against
threats from infectious diseases,
says Russ Daly, SDSU Extension
Veterinarian and State Public
Health Veterinarian.
"Many of the infectious diseases
are transmitted by insects that be-
come active in the spring," Daly
said. "Others are transmitted be-
tween horses, and spring and sum-
mer activities are more apt to
bring horses from different loca-
tions into contact with one an-
other."
Core and risk-based vaccines
The American Association of
Equine Practitioners (AAEP) pro-
vides guidelines for the vaccina-
tion of horses. Rebecca Bott, SDSU
Extension Equine Specialist ex-
plains that vaccinations are
grouped into core or risk-based
vaccinations.
"Core vaccinations are recom-
mended for all horses, while cer-
tain risk-based vaccinations are
strongly recommended for horses
that travel, mingle with other
horses, or live in regions were the
risk of a certain disease is high,"
she said.
Core vaccinations include dis-
eases such as tetanus, sleeping
sickness, West Nile Virus, and ra-
bies. Risk-based vaccinations may
include diseases such as rhinop-
neumonitis (Equine Herpesvirus-
4), influenza, and others.
She reminds horse owners the
first time a horse is vaccinated for
a specific disease they may need
booster vaccinations to help the
immune system develop a full re-
sponse to disease-causing organ-
isms.
"After the initial series, most
vaccinations will be given annually
or semi-annually to help maintain
this level of protection in the
horse," she said.
Equine herpesvirus
Forms of equine herpesvirus
causing neurologic signs have
emerged in various places around
the country. Dustin Oedekoven,
SD State Veterinarian, says that
horse owners with horses that will
come in contact with other horses
should consider vaccination
against Herpesvirus infections.
Vaccinations for both EHV-1 and
EHV-4 are available; however,
there is not a vaccine to prevent
the neurological signs associated
with EHV.
"Your local veterinarian should
be able to help you determine
which EHV vaccinations to select
and how often to vaccinate based
on the specific risk factors for your
horse," he said.
Horses that are frequently trav-
eling and coming into contact with
other horses should likely receive
boosters every 90 days. Since EHV-
1 can cause abortion in pregnant
mares, Oedekoven says those ani-
mals should be vaccinated at five,
seven and nine months of gesta-
tion with an EHV vaccine that is
labeled for prevention of equine
abortion.
than 1,000 gallons or 2 discharges
of oil each greater than 42 gallons
within any 12-month period.
If your facility has total oil stor-
age capacity of less than 10,000
gallons and either have a storage
container with a capacity greater
than 5,000 gallons or have had one
or more discharges of oil as out-
lined above, it is classified as a
Tier 2 facility and must comply
with those criteria. Tier 2 report-
ing requirements and procedures
are outlined at:
http://www.epa.gov/emergencies/co
ntent/epcra/tier2.htm.
Your SPCC plan does not need to
be sent to anyone, but must be
complete, updated if you make
changes to your oil storage facility,
maintained in terms of scheduled
inspections, and on file, readily ac-
cessible if an inspector asks for it.
Storage containers with a capac-
ity of 55 gallons or more must be
included in the total storage capac-
ity, even if they are not being used.
Storage containers can be taken
out of service if specific procedures
are carried out. This can be helpful
for operations that no longer use
these containers, and may allow
them to drop to the Tier 2 category
and not need to hire a professional
engineer, qualify as a Tier 1 facil-
ity if putting a 5,000 gallon tank
out of service, or even drop below
the 1,320 capacity level and not
need to complete an SPCC plan.
