Melford Koester
was born in Pierre,
South Dakota on July
16, 1926.
The oldest of three
children, Melford has
one brother, Harold
Koester, of Rapid City,
South Dakota, and one
sister, Dolores
(Koester) Miller, who is
deceased from Pierre,
South Dakota.
Melford attended
school and graduated
in 1945 from Vivian
High School, Home of
the Bearcats.
He worked on his
father's farm through
his school years. As a
young boy he was ac-
tive in sports.
Melford married
Becky Moross on Octo-
ber 10, 1949 at the
Methodist Church in Murdo. They had three sons, Doug, Dan and Fred.
Melford and Becky continued to live and work on his father's farm in
Vivian. He also drove a school bus, sold eggs and cream from the farm
to make ends meet.
In 1956 Melford took a job as manager with the elevator in Quinn, SD.
In 1958 Melford moved his family to Wall, SD, to work at the elevator
there. They eventually moved to Murdo, and he continued to manage
the elevator there until about 1978. He worked at Moore Building Center
in Murdo until 1987. He then worked for the United States Postal Service
and was a mail carrier until he semi-retired in 1995.
Melford and Becky hosted several foreign exchange students from
Brazil and Sweden during the 1970s. They had the opportunity to visit
them in the homes of their own countries as well.
They traveled extensively in their lifetime. They visited Hawaii, Ger-
many, Sweden, Brazil, the Pyramid's in Egypt, the Great Wall of China
and many other places.
Melford's greatest joys are his 10 grandchildren and 12 great grand-
children.
Melford has always enjoyed sports. Any sport that was being played
was an interest of his. His main interest was baseball and he excelled in
this sport.
In 1950 he and his friends were playing baseball in the old dusty park
in Vivian when professional baseball scouts happened to be passing
through. They stopped and watch the game that was in progress. On the
spot they asked Melford if he would be interested in trying out for the
Cincinnati Reds baseball team and offered him a position with a farm
club that belonged to the team. This meant he would have to move his
family from the farm and to another state. He declined their invitation
and this was one regret that has always stayed with him.
Melford has always enjoyed conversation with just about anyone. He
has coached softball, baseball and been involved with about every com-
munity organization that there is, such as Lions Club, school board, and
city council.
Melford is always an easygoing and kindhearted fellow. He is very
funny to listen to. The staff enjoys having him as a resident at the nursing
home, as he always has a smile to share.
We want to congratulate Melford Koester for being selected as Kadoka
Nursing Home Resident of the Month.

The Philip American Legion
baseball team won the Belle
Fourche tournament held Friday
and Saturday, July 12-13.
They first defeated the Piedmont
team 10-9 on Friday. Early Satur-
day, they got by the Gillette, Wyo.,
team with a 3-2 victory. The final
game was a 12-10 win over Belle
Fourche.
The tournament came after
Philip defeated the Pierre White
Sox 15-8 on Monday, July 8.
Though high scoring at its end,
that games early score was only 3-
1 going into the seventh inning.
It (the Belle Fourche tourna-
ment) was very big for the kids,
said Foss. Theyve worked hard for
three years, and it paid off. Win-
ning the tournament was a very big
thing for our program, with the
quality of the teams.
Foss believes that two years ago
the team had only two wins during
the season. Last year, he believes,
they had only three wins. Now,
Weve done okay. Weve actually
won five in a row, said Foss.
We are definitely playing our
best games lately. Which is what
you want to be doing as you go into
regions, said Foss.
The Philip team will be going
into the Region 7B Tournament in
Winner on July 18-20 with a 8-12
record so far this season. The state
class B tournament will be in Web-
ster, July 26-30.
The Philip American Legion baseball team is on a winning streak. It consists of players from a number of surrounding com-
munities. Back row (L-R): coach Kory Foss, Philip, Avery Johnson, Philip, Zac Stone, Kadoka, Bubba Young, White River, A.J.

Legion baseball ready for districts
behind Dan Smileys shop.
Local law enforcement watched
the area behind Smileys for an
hour trying to see if the mountain
lion would appear. Sheriff Ray
Clements kept watch at the inter-
state to see if the mountain lion
would appear and cross the inter-
state. Unfortunately, they were un-
able to obtain a sighting of the
mountain lion once it moved into
the vegetation behind Smileys
shop.
Clements stated that no one else
has contacted their office complain-
ing of missing dogs, cats or any
other incidents involving a possible
mountain lion.
Game, Fish and Parks was con-
tacted about the incident. The
game warden felt the animal was
just traveling through.
Some Kadoka residents got a bit
of a surprise last Thursday, July 10
when a mountain lion was sighted
within the city limits.
According to law enforcement,
Tom Kukal encountered the moun-
tain lion as it ran in front of his
pickup while driving east on Poplar
Street. He said it crossed in front of
his pickup from the south side of
the road over to Bob Words drive-
way. It then continued through
Words driveway and headed north.
Sheila Herbaugh was the next to
see the mountain lion. She spotted
the lion near the Catholic Church.
Steve and Brian Doughty saw
the lion near the Ponderosa Motel,
and then continued to watch as it
crossed Highway 284 to the north.
They told authorities that it
then traveled into the vegetation

Fish too much? Cant be done.
Several residents from the Kadoka Nursing Home enjoyed a fishing trip to Pierre on Tuesay, July 16. Charity Edwards (L), Shorty Ireland, Joy
Parker, Mel Koester, Mary Ellen Herbaugh.
Ruth Klundt (above left), Derald Kul-

day fishing is better than a good day
working. They had a successful day
fishing, despite a flat tire on the way

Read Psalm 51
A church deacon once confessed a horrible sin in a social
media site. After giving a description of what hed done,
the man commented, I know theres a price to pay for
this sin now. And that price is death.
Not only was his heart broken over what he had done; he also knew that the effect on his friends and
family would be devastating. And yet, overshadowing his remorse was fear. He had become afraid of God,
believing that the sovereign Lord of the universe was now out to get him.
What would you say to this believer? Does his statement reflect an appropriate view of Gods response to
sin?
Its true that Romans 6:23 clearly teaches that the wages of sin is death; however, this sorrowful young
man had overlooked the all-important second half of the verse: but the free gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord. If our Father gives us a gift, we can trust that He will never take it away; it becomes
ours to keepthats what a gift is. We did nothing to deserve it, so we can do nothing to lose it. It all rests
on Gods initiative.
Moreover, a greater theological principle is at work here. If the believers sin after salvation could require
deathor any form of punishmentthen Jesus sacrifice was insufficient. However, the Bible tells us that
Jesus death was wholly sufficient and a once-for-all payment of mankinds sin debt (Heb. 10:10).
Either Jesus blood does cover our sins, or it doesnt. Theres no middle ground. The Holy Spirit, Christs
words, and biblical testimony clearly assert that it does.

Payment in Full

Arla Faith Johnson was born on
August 9, 1939 in Wasta to A.E.
Doll and Fern (Crosmer) John-

Badlands in Interior and gradu-
ated valedictorian from Interior

As a young woman, she moved to
Omaha, Neb., to attend airline
hostess training. In the fall of 1958,
she attended Northern State Uni-

Ted and Faith were united in

Pierre. They made their first home
in Britton where she worked as a
school secretary. A year later, she
stayed home to raise her children
until moving to Philip in the sum-
mer of 1987. Referring to Philip as
Gods country, Faith loved living
there and she considered it a bless-

for children, so she decided to open
a day care in their home for a num-

ued to make their home in Philip,
until moving to Sioux Falls in July
2011.
Over the years, Faith was an ac-
tive member of the United Church
where she served on various com-
mittees. She was dedicated and
continued to show her love of work-
ing with children by teaching Sun-
day school and by volunteering
with the summer vacation Bible
programs. She was at her best, and
her happiest, helping others; she
loved every second that she was
able to spend with her family, her
mom or her grandchildren. She
was a faithful servant of God and
enjoyed reading her daily Bible.
Faith was preceded in death by
her husband of 51 years, Ted on
September 2, 2011.
Grateful for sharing her life are

Floyd Speed Bendickson, age
81 of Philip, S.D., died Wednesday,
July 10, 2013, at the Hans P. Peter-
son Memorial Hospital in Philip.
Floyd B. Speed Bendickson,
was born September 14, 1931, in
Henning, Minn., the son of Benny
and Bertha (Underhill) Bendick-
son. He started his ranching career
working for Bob and Inga Blair at
the age of 14.
Floyd enlisted into the U.S.
Army in December, 1950 and
served in the Army Rangers in
Korea. He was wounded and was in
the hospital in Japan. He returned
home 1954.
Floyd married the love of his life,

They started their marriage at the

Meals for
the Elderly
39 million Americans or 13% of
the U.S. population are 65 and
older, and our nations 76 million
baby boomers are just beginning to
turn 65. A timely 2009 Pew Re-
search poll on growing old, found
encouraging words as well as a siz-
able gap between the expectations
of young people and what actually
happens.
The survey asked about nega-
tive benchmarks of aging such as
illness, memory loss, inability to
drive, an end to sexual activity,
loneliness and depression, and dif-
ficulty paying bills. The study dis-
covered that younger people
thought elderly would experience
more problems of aging than actu-
ally occurred. Its good to know
they were wrong.
I found it encouraging that only
40% of those aged 85 or older expe-
rienced significant memory loss,
only 30% experienced feeling sad
or depressed, only 25% no longer
drove, and the vast majority had
made peace with their circum-
stances, with only 1% that said
their lives had turned out worse
than expected.
But in contrast the survey also
asked about benefits of aging such
as spending more time with family,
traveling for pleasure, having
more time for hobbies, and doing
volunteer work. Younger people
thought the elderly would experi-
ence more of these benefits than
actually occurred. Thats disap-
pointing.
But what is encouraging, the
survey found that older people
were just as happy as everyone
else, and the same factors for all
ages predicted it: good health, good
friends, and some degree of finan-
cial security.
The widest gap in old versus
young, not surprisingly, was the
percentage of young versus old
using the Internet, cell phones,
and social networking, although
that is changing. Another gap of
interest was the rate of religion
being an important part of ones
life. Not surprisingly, 66% of those
over 65 said religion is important
to them, compared to 50% of those
30-49, and 44% of those 18-29.
I was encouraged to learn that
75% of those 65 and older said they
have talked with their family
about end-of-life matters, and that
the majority of these conversations
were initiated by the parent and
directed to their adult children.
Finally it was heartwarming to
learn that of all the good things
about getting old, the older adults
by far chose as their favorite:
spending more time with family
members, especially grandchil-
dren.
Dont have any of those yet, but
I have expectations.

Expectations of the elderly
Donald D. Don Thorson, age
53, of Bartlesville, Okla,, formerly
of Philip, S.D., died Saturday, July
13, 2013, while on vacation in Med-
ford, Ore.
Donald D. Thorson was born
April 29, 1960, in Quinn. He grew
up on a ranch northwest of Philip.
He attended Alfalfa Valley Rural
School before going to Philip High
School where he graduated in
1978. He attended South Dakota
State University and earned an as-
sociates degree in December 1980.
He went to work for Scotchman In-
dustries and was there until 1989
when he went to Canyon, Texas,
and attended West Texas A&M
University. He graduated with a
bachelors degree in computer engi-
neering in 1991.
Don went to work for Conoco in
Ponca City, Okla. When Phillips 66
and Conoco merged, he spent two
years traveling the world merging
the computer systems of both com-
panies. Once his job was complete,
he was transferred to Bartlesville
where he has since resided.
Even though he moved several
different times throughout his ca-
reer, his heart always stayed in
Philip. He regularly visited Philip,
at least twice a year, catching up
with his family and friends. He es-
pecially enjoyed hiking, hunting,
fishing, golfing, camping, and play-
ing cards. One of his highlights was
traveling to Norway and finding
where his great-grandparents were

Some surprises are rather fun.
Others are less so. One pleasant
surprise this week was when an
unknown plant in our rock border
threw out a huge white flower. I
walk by that area almost every
day and had noticed this plant
which I could never quite identify.
At first I thought it might be a
cocklebur. Then I wondered if it
could be some sort of sunflower.
Other possibilities came to mind,
but I was never quite sure enough
it was a weed to make myself pull
it out. Of course, there was a rag-
weed nearby that I recognized all
too well and didnt pull either, but
this one at least was a little too in-
teresting to consider uprooting.
So, a couple of days ago I no-
ticed this foot-high plant throwing
out a big flower stalk in the mid-
dle. I watched it with interest. Fi-
nally, last evening, it unfurled. It
was a large white trumpet-like
blossom about the size of those you
see on Easter lilies and somewhat
similar except the edges were more
rounded and not as fluted. The
word, moonflower, came to mind,
but I wasnt really sure why. I
showed the posy to wife Corinne
who also thought it might be that
flower. She went on the Internet to
do a bit of research and shortly
found a photo that proved we did
indeed have a moonflower in
bloom in the front yard. Nifty.
They are supposed to smell really
good, but so far I havent gotten
down on hands and knees to find
out. Maybe later.
Thinking back, I have probably
only seen moonflowers twice be-
fore in my life. The first was back
in grade or high school when one of
our neighbors in town had a bunch
of them. They were rather impres-
sive since they were big and nice
smelling. Quite a few years later, I
remember seeing some over at
Barb and Teds ranch some six
miles from us. They too had a lot of
them and seemed to think they
were quite fine. Even that latter
sighting of these flowers was well
over twenty years ago so the mem-
ory of them was not as active as it
might once have been. Anyway,
having a pretty and interesting
plant grow up and flower all on its
own was a nice surprise, especially
when you have no idea how it got
there.
Then we come to surprises that
are slightly less enjoyable. One of
those was also last evening after
the flower experience. As it hap-
pened, some weeks ago a tornado
or other strong wind tore the roof
off a machine/shop shed at our
river place and tossed it over north
towards the river. On the way by,
that pile of wood and twisted metal
did some damage to our big John
Deere tractor such as bending the
smokestack over, nudging the ra-
diator a little etc. In any event, the
tractor needed to be fixed.
I had considerable difficulty in
finding a way to get the thing to
town for repair, but John finally
came through with a truck and a
method. The tractor was loaded
and taken to town. Unfortunately,
the loading took longer than ex-
pected so the unloading would
have to be after dark. Since the
machine was going to our mailman
who is also experienced in tractor
repair, the delivery to him was
slightly out of town and John was
unsure of the exact location. He
called and asked me to serve as a
guide which was fine with me. I
met them by the sale barn and
confidently led them east.
Before long, however, confusion
set in. I didnt recognize the land-
marks. When we finally came to a
paved road, surprise, surprise, I
realized I had no idea where on
earth we were although we were
less than a mile from town. Like I
said, some surprises are not so
great. In this case, there was little
left to do but retrace our steps and
try again. This area, by the way,
has several roads meeting in a
small area and all leading differ-
ent directions. Instead of heading
straight east, I had gotten con-
fused in the dark and gone north-
east. When we then tried going
straight east instead of northeast,
that soon got us to where we
wanted to be. The tractor was duly
unloaded, and we could all go
home. I told John that I could mis-
direct him to several other places
if he wanted before I left, but he
said they were fine and could prob-
ably somehow muddle their own
way home without my help. This
was apparently a case of the blind
leading the unsure, but John was
now sure enough of his bearings to
get by without me.
So, yesterday was full of sur-
prises. At least it wasnt dull. I
even later had to chuckle a bit
about getting lost when I was so
sure I easily knew the way. Ah
well, today has been fairly
straightforward. No odd plants
growing up and flowering and no
roads leading to nowhere. I cant
decide which was better, yesterday
or today. I guess both were okay.

neighborhood. Russian Proverb
Last Friday night the Taft gals
went to Rapid City and spent the
night with Samantha in her new
apartment. Samantha Taft started
her job at Rapid City Regional Hos-
pital on Monday as a registered
nurse.
Dan and Susan Taft and daugh-
ters, Heather, Samantha and Mor-
gan, helped host a golden wedding
anniversary celebration for Susans
parents, Alvin and Judy Simmons,
of Martin the weekend of July 6-7,
2013. The family treated the group
of forty friends and family mem-
bers to a bus tour of the Black Hills
starting at Sturgis with Susans
brother, Jeff as, the driver. A few
highlights were a wine tasting at
Prairie Berry Winery in Hill City, a
stop at the Taffy Shop in Keystone,
and a poker run. The final stop was
in Rapid City at the Texas Road-
house for a delicious supper before
returning to Sturgis. Special guests
were the mother of the bride,
Beverly Comsey, 88, of Aberdeen
and her 91-year-old sister, Lila.
They enjoyed the trip as much as
everyone else and didnt miss a
thing. The Taft ladies were guests
of Jeff and Michelle Simmons in
Sturgis that night and after a deli-
cious brunch they headed home.
The Tafts had been over a week
without being in the field due to
machinery breakdowns so when it
got fixed, Dan opted to stay home
and work, so he missed out on all
the fun.
Carol Ferguson worked at the
Wanblee Post Office several days
last week.
Monday afternoon, the Jason
Burma family returned home to
Norris after vacationing in the
east. They traveled to the New
Tribes Missionary Training Center
at Camdenton, Missouri. Jason and
JaLynn have been there with the
seniors from Sunshine Bible Acad-
emy several times and promised
their family they would take them
there sometime, too. There are lots
of recreational things to do there:
fishing, swimming, etc. Then they
went to Lexington, Tennessee, and
were guests of longtime pheasant
hunting friends before traveling on
to Cincinnati, Ohio, to Ken Hams
Creation Museum. They met up
with JaLynns missionary friends,
Mark and Marcy Harris, and fam-
ily there for a couple days. JaLynn
and Marcy had served as mission-
aries in Russia together several
years ago. They also enjoyed the
Cincinnati Reds baseball game
against the San Francisco Giants
July 3 that lasted 13 innings. It
closed with a big fireworks display
that night, too. The kids had a lot
to tell when they got home.
Tuesday, Bruce and Jessie Ring
were among those parents attend-
ing a meeting at the Long Valley
School. Grandma June Ring and
the twins went over and baby sat
while they were gone.
Weeds have really challenged all
the gardeners in this area. They
(like everything else) are really
growing. We are not complaining,
just working hard to help the gar-
dens and flower beds get ahead a
bit. Maxine Allard described her
garden as a lovely jungle. It is a
typical July in South Dakota, hot!
The winter wheat is ripening and
combines are waiting. Folks are
still haying, too! After last years
drought we are not letting any-
thing green and growing go to
waste.
Friday, James and Marjorie
Letellier enjoyed supper at the H
and H in Kadoka on Friday to cele-
brate their anniversary.
Janice Ring has been hosting
several basketball players and
coach Mike Ring at her home dur-
ing the basketball camp in White
River. Several players from Norris
have been attending as well.
Irene Kaufman of Valentine vis-
ited family in Norris on Sunday.
She, Jesse, Pete and Marla Fergu-
son were dinner guests in the Ed
and Carol Ferguson home.
Sunday, the James Letelliers
took Julie to Rapid City to get her
car. They visited in the Marty Lar-
son home and Sue returned home
with them that evening for a few
days.
Andee Beckwith came to Norris
Sunday evening and will be help-
ing with the Prairie Light Bible
School at Rosebud and Lakeview
this week.
Saturday Stan Allard of Rapid
City came to do some errands for
his mother.
Have a great week!
Marj and Marvin Street have
been in residence in their house by
the water tower for a couple of
weeks now. They came the day of
the school reunion and planned to
only stay two weeks. They got
started fixing on their house such
as painting and repairing the roof,
and that didnt quite get done in
two weeks so they plan to stay a
few more days and finish up. While
here, they visited family and
friends, and Marj played the organ
for church the last two Sundays.
Syd Iwan and Marj have now been
playing the piano and organ to-
gether for church in Belvidere for a
bit over fifty years and are still at
it when Marj is here.
Rick and Ronda Dennis spent
the weekend in Rapid City with
Ricks sister, Dana DeVries. They
spent the time doing a little shop-
ping and just hanging out. They
didnt do anything all that exciting
but it was nice to get away for a lit-
tle while.
Nikki Bonenberger said they are
putting up their alfalfa hay at pres-
ent. The first cutting was hailed
out, but there has been enough
rain to grow it again for a second
crop.
Dave Calhoon said they are hay-
ing as well and watching the
grasshoppers. They are thick in a
few places, but the grass is growing
fast enough to keep ahead of them.
Dave said his son, Josh, is still into
probing grain cars on the railroad
and sending the results in for cer-
tain tests. This is just a part-time
job that Josh likes to do although
the work has slowed quite a bit in
the last ten days. It will no doubt
pick up again.
Howie Ireland mowed his yard
on Sunday. He is still hauling mail
during the week and Cathy is cook-
ing at the nursing home in Kadoka.
Howie and Cathy are like many in
the area right now that are just
getting on with the normal routine
and without a lot of extra stuff
going on.
Jenny Jo Johnston is currently
on vacation in Denver with her sis-
ter, Cora Jo. Every year since
Jenny was about eight, the two go
someplace together to keep in
touch as sisters. Jennie is now 16
so they have been doing this half of
her life. Cora now lives in Rapid
City but used to live in Denver. So
far they have ridden a mechanical
bull, gone roller skating and to a
water park and Six Flags. Other
activities are on the agenda. When
Jenny turns 21, they already have
plans to go to Las Vegas on their
annual vacation. Meanwhile, Larry
and Jo Johnston have been putting
up hay. Last weekend, they went to
West Whitlock and stayed with Jos
sister, Charlotte. Her boyfriend has
a trailer on the river so they went
there and did some fishing. Whit-
lock is near Gettysburg.
Drought concerns eased last
month, with widespread rainfall
and near average temperatures in
South Dakota. At this point, the cli-
mate outlook for July remains un-
certain.
Copious amounts of rain fell in
the northeastern counties in June,
said Laura Edwards, South Dakota
State University Extension climate
field specialist. Some locations re-
ported three to five inches above
average rainfall for the month.
That is nearly double average for
those areas between Marshall and
Deuel counties.
Edwards added that the south-
western corner of South Dakota re-
mains in moderate to severe
drought going in to the month of
July. Unfortunately, the southern
Black Hills and areas between Fall
River and Todd counties continued
to be much drier than average in
June, said Edwards.
Climatologically, the summer is
traditionally a dry season for those
counties. This, Edwards explained,
means that further drought recov-
ery will be unlikely in the coming
months. As temperatures in-
crease, so does water demand by
plants, animals and people, she
said.
Edwards said according to the
latest monthly and seasonal
drought outlooks from the climate
prediction center a drought is ex-
pected to persist in this area for
July and through September.
Junes temperatures have helped
crop producers across the state,
said Dennis Todey, SDSU state cli-
matologist. Temperatures in June
were slightly below average for the
month, but nothing like what the
state experienced earlier this year,
Todey said. Statewide, June tem-
perature was just a degree or two
below the long term average. This
created a nice environment for crop
growth and rangeland recovery
over the last few weeks."
By the end of June, corn fields
appeared to be in good shape, and
soybean fields were improving.
A path of severe storms passed
through eastern South Dakota on
June 21. Most reports indicate that
damaged fields were able to be re-
planted after hail, high winds and
tornadoes affected the US 212 cor-
ridor that afternoon.
Looking ahead to the month of
July, Todey said computer climate
models are scattered in their pre-
dictions for the Northern Plains.
There are no clear signs of wetter
or drier than average conditions for
the month, he said. Extended pe-
riods of excessive heat dont seem
to be forthcoming.
In the early part of the month,
models predict that South Dakota
will be in the path of cooler and
drier air from Canada, as high
pressure sits in the western United
States.
This isnt to say we are entirely
cut off from moisture, Todey said.
We will likely get small amounts
of rainfall here and there from
more sporadic thunderstorms.
Edwards and Todey agreed that
the early part of July will be pleas-
ant. The sunny skies and moder-
ately warm temperatures will be a
boon to gardens and row crops in
the region, and will also prevent se-
vere heat issues for livestock.

everyday of the week!
It was a full week for visitors!
Starting off on Sunday, Betty Van-
derMay got a visit from her daugh-
ter, Joan, and granddaughter,
Bree. They had a very special visit.
Then comes Shorty Ireland. He
had a visit from his son, Hal. They
had a good visit and Hal faxed his
dad back a copy of his life history,
that is what he can remember!
Dorothy and Brad Louder drove
down to see Dwight. They always
take a chance they will catch him
awake. And if he is, watch out hell
talk your ears off and will make
sure everyone is on top of their job.
Elaine Kemnitz had a visit from
her husband, Don, and her sister-
in-law, Sharon, and her brother,
Stanley Paulson. They always
share some good stories and
laughs. Also visiting with Elaine
this week was Juanita and Verna
Koskan, good friends from way
back.
Mary Ellen Herbaugh got a sur-
prise visit from her son, Fred, and
friend, Kathy. She loves it when
they catch a ride down to see her.
She also went out with her daugh-
ter, Starla, and granddaughter,
Tiffany. Its always nice to get out
for awhile!
Joy Parker had a very busy
week for visitors. Her daughter and
son-in-law, Barbara and Lon
Parker, and her beautiful grand-
daughter, Landri, were here. Joy
was able to visit with them a couple
days. She also got her daily visits
from Renate, Ron and Wilma. Oth-
ers visiting this week were Gayle
and Oliver from Wall, and her
daughter, Martha, and son-in-law,
Thomas Tune.
Beth Murray drove over from
Philip to see her dad, Bob Young.
Its always nice to see her with her
dad!
Linda Petras dropped into visit
with her mother-in-law, Mary, and
also went up to check on Ruth
Klundt. She checked out the gar-
den and had a good visit.
Welcome back Mary Bull Bear.
Mary was at the hospital for a
short stay, but she is back with us
and we all want to welcome Mary
back!
Connie Twiss was here to visit
with Glenn Bruhn. Glenn is Con-
nies uncle. Connie usually brings
Glenn his favorite snack; a straw-
berry shake or some chocolates.
Ruth Klundt had a good week
for friends and family. Her sister,
Zona, and husband, Daniel Malm-
berg, Bob and Sharon Mitchell, and
other friends dropped in to say
hello.
Betty Kusick popped in to see
Bunny Green, Edith Perault, Kate
DeVries, and Oliver Willert. Shes
always good for a few laughs!
Wanda Swan came by to visit
with Ruth Klundt and Bunny
Green.
Reverend Ray Greenseth
stopped by on his way back to
Murdo to see Mary Ellen Herbaugh
and Melford Koester.
Kate DeVries got a visit from
Jim DeVries and her daughter,
Ruth Ann, stopped in and enjoyed
some birthday cake and ice cream
on Monday afternoon.
Speaking of birthdays we cele-
brated all the monthly birthdays
last Monday. Those having birth-
days this month are: Ray Becker,
Melford Koester, Derald Kulhavey,
Melissa Ammons, Heidi Coller, and
Val Cork. Renate Carson supplied
the cake fixings and ice cream
while Cathy Stone shared her hand
in the baking of the cakes! Others
attending were Lois Pettyjohn,
Lova Bushnell, Vals mom. Every-
one had a great time playing Bingo
before partaking in the goodies.
Those who stop by to visit, it
means everything to a resident to
just have someone stop and say hi,
or ask how are you doing today? We
sure appreciate everyone who
takes the time to stop! Those stop-
ping by this week: Lola Joyce Rig-
gins, Lova Bushnell, Shirley
Josserand, Nancy Weller, Bonnie
Madsen, Carol Solon, Phyllis Word,
the Willert family, the Wilmarth
family, and our pianist, Lois Pet-
tyjohn.
Our garden is growing and the
little rain showers sure do help!
Cant wait until we get to harvest!
Ellie Bettelyoun and daughters,
Rikki and Lorena and a friend,
Nakoda, of Lander, WY, spent the
Fourth of July weekend at the
home of her mom, Letoy Brown,
and visiting other relatives in the
Kadoka area. They arrived on
Wednesday, July 3 and returned to
Wyoming on Monday, the 8th of
July. The Bettelyouns are enjoying
living in Lander.
Joy Parkers daughter and son-
in-law, Martha and Tommy Thune,
of Mineral Wells, Texas, arrived in
Kadoka on Monday, July 8, and
stayed with Ron and Renate Car-
son. They got to spend some time at
the Nursing Home with Joy and ar-
rived in time to visit with Marthas
sister and husband, Bob and Lon-
nie Harper, of Cheyenne, WY, who
were also visiting at the Carsons
and with Mrs. Parker. Both couples
left Kadoka on Tuesday, the 9th.
Jim and Robyn Jones, Tyler,
Tanner, Michael, Kylie and Kelton
were in Valentine, NE, on Satur-
day. They visited Robyns parents,
Ray and Florence Osburn, and at-
tended the wedding of Jims
nephew, JT Jones, and Amanda
Ross.
There will a free music concert
at the Kadoka Presbyterian
Church on Sunday, July 21 at 6:30
p.m. Steven and Misti Crane will
be preforming. Everyone is invited
to attend.
band were back for a visit last
week. They are at Wanblee part of
the time.
My how times have changed.
When they built the apartment
building, they had welcome parties
for the new residents, entertain-
ment games, friendly people, intro-
ductions, socializing and getting
aquainted with everyone. There
does not seem to be the interest in
those activities anymore.
I accompanied Chris and Ani-
talynn Riggins to the rodeo for in
Wall on Saturday evening to watch
Dylan ride a bull. I am hearing
Chris and Anitalynn went to the
Kadoka rodeo arena to watch him
ride a bull this last Sunday after-
noon.
We have a bird nesting in a tree
here, and it is interesting watching
Mother Nature work with our
every day happenings. The bird
built her nest in quite a protected
branch and is busy setting on her
eggs.
They are tearing down the old
Doloff house (also known as the
Walton house). It kept Bert and
Betty. The house also kept school
kids, waitresses for Bert, families
and the last ones I remember was
Ray Gartner. My daughter stayed
with them her senior year of high-
school.
Thought of the week: Every ac-
complishment starts with the deci-
sion to try. Excellence is the
gradual result of always striving to
do your best.
Most of the regular quilting crew
worked on quilts. Lova cuts
squares and Margie, Susie, Shirley,
Marie, Phyllis and Betty tie quilts.
Most days two quilts are tied on
quilting day at the community
room on Wednesday afternoon.
I saw a meeting happening in
the community room about a week
ago, but nothing was on the calen-
dar.
Joyce Hicks and Lova Bushnell
were busy with their Rummikub
game Sunday afternoon.
Joe Hoffman was busy Sunday
morning.
I saw two pickups parked in
front of the old Linaberg Drug
Store. I am hearing they are get-
ting ready to open a restaurant
there on Main Street. It has been a
day or two since I got to buy a
chocolate ice cream cone there for a
nickel.
I had one of my delights Sunday
morning. A delightful, little bless-
ing in her dads arms handed me
my church bulletin with a beautiful
smile, and she wanted to give me
another one. What an inspiring
welcome to church.
I walked over to the care center
and got to see Katy Knutson of
Spearfish visiting her mother,
Clara Belle Weller. On down the
hall, I saw Oliver Willert, Ray
Becker, Emma Jarl and Ruth
Klundt. Bud Weller arrived down
the hall to visit Clara Belle and
Katy. I enjoyed a nice quick chat.

On Saturday, August 3, the
South Dakota Game, Fish and
Parks Department will host a free
youth event day at Lake Waggoner,
north of Philip.
Youth, depending on their ages,
can participate in all four of the
stations. State GF&P officials and
local volunteers will work with
youth on learning and practicing
archery, pellet gun shooting, fish-
ing and viewing demonstrations on
trapping. The trapping station will
be run by a state trapper. All sup-
plies will be provided.
Each station is anticipated to
last about an hour, though youth
may pick and chose, or repeat.
A free lunch will be provided,
but it is recommended that individ-
uals bring extra water to drink.
Though preregistration is not re-
quired, a head count would be ap-
preciated for the needed number of
lunches.
The days activities will begin
with registration from 8:00 a.m. to
8:30 a.m.
For more information and to
preregister, call Wildlife Conserva-
tion Officer Zach Thomsen at 859-

As South Dakota youth prepare
for upcoming county and state live-
stock shows many 4-H and FFA
members can also show off their
knowledge and skills during the
livestock skill-a-thons hosted dur-
ing the state livestock shows.
Coordinated by South Dakota
State Univiersity Extension, the
events highlight and reward
youth's knowledge within their an-
imal projects. All 4-H and FFA
members are encouraged to com-
pete in these free events.
There will be age divisions for be-
ginner, junior and senior. Youth do
not need to be an exhibitor in order
to compete and no pre-registration
is required. Youth may enter the
day of the event. Participants can
come during the time frame sched-
uled and expect to complete the
contest in 20-30 minutes.
The top five individuals in the
three age divisions will be recog-
nized. Winners will receive items to
encourage future development of
their own livestock projects.
Awards will be presented during
the various livestock shows.
The South Dakota Summer Spot-
light kicks off the first livestock
skill-a-thon on July 27 from 9:00
a.m. to noon in the Livestock Com-
plex at the South Dakota State
Fairgrounds in Huron. The contest
allows youth to demonstrate their
understanding and practical appli-
cation of livestock managerial
skills in the beef, sheep, swine and
meat goat areas.
Skill-a-thon stations will focus
on animal selection, meats, animal
health and welfare, nutrition and
reproduction. Youth who partici-
pate in the skill-a-thon will be ex-
posed to current and new
technology being utilized in live-
stock production while performing
hands on exercises and developing
their critical thinking and problem
solving skills through demonstra-
tion or matching type activities.
The South Dakota State Fair will
host four separate skill-a-thons:
beef, sheep, swine, and new to 2013
goat. On August 30, the swine skill-
a-thon will be from 9:00 a.m. to
1:00 p.m. CDT and the sheep skill-
a-thon 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CDT.
On August 31 the beef skill-a-thon
is from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. CDT
and the goat skill-a-thon will run
from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CDT.
The new goat skill-a-thon will ex-
pose youth to both the meat and
dairy production sides of the goat
project.
In addition to the livestock skill-
a-thons at State Fair, 4-H youth,
ages 11 to 18, that are exhibiting
beef, sheep, or swine may enter the
premier exhibitor program. Partic-
ipants in this contest will practice
their decision making and commu-
nication skills by competing in four
events: industry interview, skill-a-
thon, production and management
quiz, and showmanship. A panel of
judges, representing the South
Dakota beef, sheep or swine indus-
tries, will ask a few short questions
during the industry interview and
score youth on accuracy of their an-
swers and overall presentation
skills. Contact your local 4-H youth
program advisor to register for pre-
mier exhibitor.
Finally, the Western Junior Live-
stock Show October 9-12 in Rapid
City will be adding a livestock skill-
a-thon to its schedule for any youth
to participate.
For a full list of rules and sug-
gested study resources to help
youth prepare for the livestock
skill-a-thons this summer, refer-
ence the South Dakota State Fair
4-H Division Handbook. For ques-
tions about the premier exhibitor
or skill-a-thons, contact SDSU Ex-

Managing Herbicide
Resistant Weeds
The leadership of the CCA (Cer-
tified Crop Advisor) program
asked the members to take part in
an online survey on the issue of
herbicide-resistant weeds. Nearly
1,700 people responded to ques-
tions about the resistant weed
pressure in their areas, the most
effective management tools and
approaches, and the obstacles to
achieving wider adoption of best
management practices (BMPs) for
managing herbicide resistance.
The respondents came from a
variety of backgrounds, with
roughly 75% being retail agrono-
mists, independent agronomists
and retail sales managers. The re-
maining respondents were made
up of manufacturer representa-
tives, wholesale representatives,
Extension and university, produc-
tion agriculture, and government
employees. The largest number of
responses came from the north
central United States.
Forty-nine % of respondents re-
ported a moderate level of resist-
ant weed pressure in their regions,
34% reported minimal, 12% heavy,
3% none, and 2% an epidemic
level. When asked what they felt
the most effective tool was in the
fight against resistant weeds, 52%
of the CCAs said different chemi-
cal modes of action. Twenty-four %
listed crop rotation, 8% tillage, 8%
Best Management Practices
(BMPs), 4% education, 3% new
chemical solutions, and 1% seed.
Herbicide resistant crops have
been available for a number of
years and enjoyed a wide level of
adoption. Nearly 60% of respon-
dents thought they were an exten-
sion of the problem, 25% thought
they were a solution to the prob-
lem, 10% considered them a tool,
but not the solution, 3% considered
them a short-term solution, and
4% both a solution and extension
to the problem.
When asked what they thought
the next silver bullet in the fight
against herbicide resistant weeds
will come from, 57% indicated
knowledge and implementation of
BMPs. Nineteen % of respondents
said there is no silver bullet, 9%
suggested chemical solutions, 7%
thought traits, 2% reported grower
innovations, and 1% suggested me-
chanical solutions. Two % chose a
combination of these choices, an-
other 2% chose all of these solu-
tions, and 1% selected other.
As indicated in the second para-
graph, the vast majority of respon-
dents were in some type of
advisory role relative to managing
herbicide resistant weeds and
were asked what describes their
growers actions/thoughts when
considering adoption of weed re-
sistant BMPs. Forty % said grow-
ers would only adopt BMPs if
resistant weeds became a problem
in their fields. Another 30% re-
sponded that their growers were at
least trying BMPs or were "jump-
ing right in" because it was the
right thing to do. Twenty-five %
stated that their growers were
open to BMPs, but were also con-
cerned about the cost and effort of
implementing them. Three %
thought their growers would adopt
BMPs only if their neighbors did
too, and 5% chose other options.
Herbicide resistant weeds is a
very real problem, and becoming
worse. Visit www.igrow.org for
more information on managing
them.

Consumers are more interested
than ever in purchasing locally
grown food - and that includes
meat explained Shannon Sand,
Livestock Business Management
Field Specialist.
"In recent years a consumer
driven movement to know where
their food comes from has evolved.
This movement is anecdotal evi-
dence of greater demand for locally
produced meats," Sand said,
adding that according to a 2007
study, direct-to-consumer sales
only accounted for 0.4 percent of
total agricultural sales.
Sand said support for local ani-
mal products is not surprising
given the value animal agriculture
can bring to communities, particu-
larly in a state like South Dakota.
"Animals provide nutrients for
cropland and can make productive
use of land where crops do not grow
well. By processing locally, farmers
and ranchers can capture a greater
portion of the revenue stream,"
Sand said.
In 1997, locally produced farm
products in the U.S. accounted for
$551 million dollars in sales. By
2007 sales jumped to $928.9 mil-
lion - even accounting for inflation
this is an increase of 59 percent.
"Among all vegetable and melon
farmers 44.1 percent sold directly
to consumers in 2007, while only
6.9 percent of livestock producers
sold directly to consumers. Sixty-
five percent of gross farm sales for
fruit, vegetable, and nut farms
came from the sale of locally pro-
duced products (this includes local
sales through packers to local sup-
ply houses)," Sand said.
However, Sand pointed out that
only 37 percent of gross annual
sales of livestock and field crop pro-
ducers came from local markets.
"This leads to the question why
aren't more livestock producers
selling locally? Even when demand
for local meat exists, sometimes
there is not a local processor," Sand
said.
Sand pointed to a USDA report
which showed that one issue affect-
ing producer's ability to bring local
meats to market is a lack of meat
and poultry processing facilities.
Sand said challenges may include
producers having to travel long dis-
tances to reach the nearest in-
spected processing facility or
delivering only a few head at a
time.
"This results in increased trans-
portation and opportunity costs.
Also, producers may have difficulty
getting slaughter dates during
processors' busy times of the year.
Some smaller processing facilities
may not offer specific services that
farmers and their customers' de-
mand," Sand said.
When a local processor is avail-
able, Sand said they are often
smaller and have a hard time
breaking even. Smaller sized
processors often lack the steady
and consistent business needed to
be profitable while providing high
quality services to individual cus-
tomers.
"Demand for local processors'
services is highly seasonal. Esti-
mates suggest that to be profitable
a small processing plant providing
basic services must annually
process a minimum of 450-head of
cattle, or the revenue equivalent
from combinations of other live-
stock," Sand said. "Operations of-
fering more sophisticated services
require higher volumes to meet ex-
penses. Thus, the processor may
try to pull volume from other
places, and as a result local pro-
cessing may not always be avail-
able when farmers want it."
In order to bring local meat and
poultry to market, Sand said it is
necessary to stabilize and enhance
processing capacity for local mar-
kets, therefore producers and
processors must establish good
business relationships. This means
shifting from a relationship of "con-
venience" to a longer term "com-
mitment" relationship.
"Key or anchor customers are
critical for processors to ensure a
steady volume of businesses. Ag-
gregators or "Brands" which bring
livestock from multiple farms and
have the ability to coordinate the
rest of the supply chain can be
valuable partners for processors.
Aggregators are often in a better
position than an individual to coor-
dinate scheduling, create a steady
flow of animals, and serve as a cen-
tral point of communications,"
Sand said.
Sand said commitment matters
for both parties.
"Producers and processors must
demonstrate a commitment to pro-
viding, maintaining, and improv-
ing quality services," Sand said.
"By building business relation-
ships, processors can work more ef-
fectively with their customers,
build loyalty, and ultimately in-
crease demand for their own serv-
ices."
