I ran a time of 2:38:24. The conditions were warm and heating up as time past. The course was on all back-road county high- ways in Iowa. There were around 197 total finishers in the marathon. I now have completed 11 marathons in 10 different states with 40 more to go hopefully. With 10 different states completed, I can now join the 50 state club. There are a lot of people in this club. My goal is to run a marathon in all 50 of the states. My support team for this race was my wife, Casey Huffman, and my mom and dad, Tim and Carmen Huffman, of Kadoka. It was fun to see my family at a few of the differ- ent mile markers and give me sup- port. Then they were at the finish to help me get recovered and enjoy a dinner that was provided after the race. It was a fun weekend spent with the family on another Saturday morning. The race began at 6:00 a.m. so we had to get up by 4:30 in order to get to the start line. Hello, Curtis Huffman again here. I recently ran in the Marathon to Marathon event June 9. It was a marathon from Storm Lake, IA to a small town of Marathon, IA. I won the race for Third victory in a row: Huffman wins in Iowa Deputy Secretary Harding and his staff to provide this opportunity to the men and women who have served their country honorably in the military, Gerber said. Gerber also said veterans who have questions about the docu- ments or the process may call her office at 1.800.952.3696 or 605.773.6883. Harding encourages veterans who need assistance with obtaining their DD214 or who have questions regarding their benefits to contact their respective county/tribal veter- ans service officer or call the South Dakota Department of Veterans Af- fairs (605.773.3269). Here is a summary of the docu- ments required for obtaining a driver license. If you think you may have difficulty obtaining any of the necessary documents, please call the Driver Licensing Program. One identity document, such as a certified birth certificate or a valid unexpired U.S. passport. (Note: If your name is different than the name on your identity document, you will need to bring additional proof of your legal name, such as a certified marriage certifi- cate, adoption document, or divorce decree. A passport will work, if the name on the passport matches the name on your current driver li- cense). One document proving Social Security number. Acceptable docu- ments are a Social Security card, W-2 form, SSA 1099 form or pay stub (which must include Social Se- curity number and name) Two documents proving residen- tial address. Acceptable documents include utility bill, credit card statement, pay stub, rent receipt, phone bill, transcript or report card from accredited school, bank state- ment, mortgage or tax document, homeowner or renter insurance policy. (A parent's proof of address is acceptable for a minor child.) South Dakotas Departments of Public Safety and Veterans Affairs remind military veterans that a new law taking effect July 1 allows them to have a veteran designation on their state-issued driver license. The 2012 Legislature passed the law, which gives honorably dis- charged veterans the option of adding the word Veteran to the front of their South Dakota driver license. Including that designation on the driver license will make it easier for those who have served in the military to verify their veteran status. South Dakota is home to over 74,000 veterans who have pro- tected and served our great nation. The launch of this new veteran identification will provide a con- venient identification for veterans, said Steve Harding, Deputy Secre- tary for the South Dakota Depart- ment of Veterans Affairs. This initiative is a perfect example of state agencies working together to assist those who have served and sacrificed for our nation. Veterans who wish to add the designation to their driver license or non-driver ID card may visit any South Dakota driver license office. They will need to present their DD- 214, which shows their honorable discharge status from active duty or present a certificate signed by a county or tribal veterans service of- ficer verifying their status. Veter- ans should also remember that the fee for a duplicate license is $10 and the fee for a license renewal is $20. Cindy Gerber, Director of the South Dakota Driver Licensing Program, reminds veterans that they will need to provide the other documents required of any appli- cant for a South Dakota driver li- cense. Those documents may be viewed at http://dps.sd.gov/licens- ing/driver_licensing/obtain_a_li- cense.aspx. We are happy to work with New law allows veteran designation on SD driver license include the following: homicide/negligent manslaughter- 16, sex offenses-132, assault-4,306, larceny/theft-3104, fraud-321, drug/narcotic-3,908, gambling-5, prostitution-13, kidnapping-20, robbery-38, arson-30, burglary-391, motor vehicle theft-146, counter- feiting-127, embezzlement-29, stolen property-47, destruction of property-724, pornography/obscene material-40 and weapon law viola- tions-158. Less serious offenses to- taled 18,770 arrestees, include the following, but not limited to DUI- 5,775 (5,776 for 2010), liquor law violations-5,338 and disorderly conduct-2,149. Some examples of the South Dakota numbers included an in- crease in drug arrests of 18% and more than $17 million worth of property loss reported.

Attorney General Marty Jackley has released the Crime in South Dakota 2011 report. This report is compiled by the Attorney Generals Criminal Statistical Analysis Cen- ter (SAC). The SAC Unit is the pri- mary clearinghouse for criminal justice statistical data for South Dakota. The Criminal Statistical Analy- sis Center and the participating law enforcement agencies continue to provide important crime report- ing information for identifying trends in criminal activity to assist in crime prevention and enforce- ment efforts across South Dakota, said Jackley. Our criminal statis- tics reflect that South Dakota re- mains a relatively safe place to live as a result of law enforcement ef- forts, strong community involve- ment, and a supportive legislature. South Dakota law enforcement agencies reported a total of 33,340 arrests involving 56,272 offenses in 2011. The more serious offenses in- cluded a total of 14,570 arrests and Crime in South Dakota 2011 publication released Volunteers needed in Jackson County with BHSU Retired Senior Volunteer Program
Volunteers in South Dakota rank fifth in the nation in terms of the rate at which they volunteer. But, this is no surprise to those of us that live here. With a history that is rich with neighbors helping neighbors, South Dakota residents realize all too well that they need to depend on each other to keep their communities strong. Our volunteers make our com- munities safer and richer by pro- viding comfort and respite to those in need, and by giving selflessly of their time to arts and cultural in- stitutions that would be forced to shut their doors otherwise. In sup- port of South Dakotas great volun- teer tradition, Black Hills State University Retired Senior Volun- teer Program (RSVP) is looking to further expand its volunteer coor- dination program in the Jackson County area. BHSU RSVP has been in west- ern South Dakota for over 38 years--in Jackson County for about two years. To build their volunteer database, BHSU RSVP is encour- aging all people in Jackson County who are 55 and over, and who are interested in volunteer service to join. The more volunteers that are in the RSVP database, the easier it is for area nonprofits to find able and willing volunteers to fill their volunteer needs. As RSVP builds volunteers in Jackson County, the program will also seek to build partnerships with Jackson County nonprofits and proprietary health organiza- tions. These partnerships allow RSVP to give their volunteer mem- bers access to service opportunities that they otherwise may not know were available. RSVP members serve only where and when they want to, and can serve as many nonprofits as they wish. And, while RSVP mem- bership is free, membership comes with several perks to include sup- plemental insurance, mileage reim- bursements, recognition gifts, and more. These perks are intended to help offset some of the incidental costs that sometimes accompany volunteer service. Currently, BHSU RSVP is look- ing for volunteers to serve in the Jackson County Library to help in- ventory books, revise the card cat- alog system or help with patrons. Kadoka Nursing Home is looking for volunteers to help with walks in the mornings at 10:30, activities in the afternoons at 2:00 p.m. or gen- eral visiting at 3:30 p.m. Opportu- nities also exist in the Kadoka School for those interested in work- ing with small children once school starts in the fall. To learn more about these oppor- tunities and RSVP membership please call BHSU RSVP toll-free at 1-877-293-0039. He said $4,000 of the grant money is to go toward the comprehensive plan. These projects (in the plan) have been identified long before planning and zoning, he added. Later Olney said, Yes, economic development went to the city for the comprehensive plan in order to move forward. Others commented that Kadoka is not a big city and the city is doing okay as it is and they should stay away from government tactics. According to Ostea, if the plan isnt passed there would only be publication charges. Some people felt that the city needs to enforce the ordinances they have and planning and zoning will not work. Another felt this would be a mini version of Federal government and they would be allowed more con- trol. One questioned if the commu- nity would come together to make a place available for a new busi- ness. However, it was also men- tioned that Kadoka needs to take care of the small businesses and let the big ones go to the large cities. Looking at it from the economic development standpoint, Eileen Stolley said this would be a positive step for improving the community. Glenn Freeman asked the city council not to surrender to high government. He said he felt the hiking and bike route along the railway was the best thing in the plan. Please put it to the vote of the people, he added. Mayor Harry Weller told the crowd the city would not be making a decision at this meeting. How- ever, later at the meeting it was de- cided to bring it back to the council table at the next regular meeting on Monday, August 13. The council approved an on-off sale malt beverage and South Dakota Farm Wine license for Cre- ative Cuts & Fitness. Mayola Horst addressed the council regarding Rangeland Days. She said Kadoka will be hosting it next June and they will need a fa- cility for approximately 140 people for two days. Weller suggested find- ing another facility other than the auditorium due to the work being done in June. However, he said the city will try to work with her on the event once official dates are set. Patrick Solon said the inside work has been completed on the new sewer line at the city shop, but the lines still need to be tied to- gether. He said the spare pump at the lagoon is acting up. Jorgensen asked how long will the water department run in the red? Jackie Stilwell made note that if the council reviews the rates, etc., that they need to keep in mind that the city doesnt pay the city for their own water. There was no street report, but Solon was instructed to visit with a city patron regarding a drainage issue on a street. It was noted that there is water damage at the fire hall and the sidewalk needs to be redone from the Masonic Temple to the old tele- phone office. There was a sugges- tion that the sidewalk be lowered, but no action was taken. Once again the rain gutters at the transfer station were dis- cussed. Kieth Prang will check prices and report back to the coun- cil. Under the liquor report, there was discussion on sponsoring the Kadoka Merchants softball team in the amount of $250 which would be used for tournament fees and T- shirts. A motion carried to sponsor the team. Micki Word had no report for the pool/auditorium other than patrons would like to see the pool open more hours. Mayor Weller said the old land- fill weeds need to be cleaned up and employee evaluations for the first half of the year need to be done. The council set a special meeting date of Monday, July 23 at 7:00 p.m. to hold a budget meeting. A public hearing for the plan- ning and zoning comprehensive plan, with approximately 27 people in attendance, started off the regu- lar meeting of the Kadoka City Council Monday evening. Justin Otsea with Central South Dakota Enhancement District re- viewed the comprehensive plan, saying its a vision of the next 20 to 30 years, a guideline for the future of Kadoka. Passing the plan doesnt mean the city has to do it. Its just an engineer plan showing what can be done, Otsea said. Because of negative comments in the past, he said the comprehen- sive plan is: not federally/state or regionally mandated; it is not any kind of financial commitment to any specific project; not a loss of power or control from the local level; and it is not a one-size-fits-all strategy for all communities. Ken Wilmarth, chairperson of the planning and zoning committee said, Its up to the city to adopt and work on top projects. He agreed that there is not enough money to go around, and the city would need to prioritize. City council member Brad Jor- gensen questioned that this (plan- ning and zoning) all started with economic development. Rusty Olney, who is president of economic development, said they coordinated with the state for a cer- tified ready site. They received land from the city and two grants.

Sept. - May Church Calendar Luke 14:12-14 Children aren't the only ones who like to get re- wards. Our Creator knows that adults are also moti- vated by incentives. His Word makes exciting promises for those who walk in His way. Some of these benefits are available here on earth--like fulfillment, joy, and good favor--and other bless- ings will be bestowed in heaven. As believers, we need never fear the judgment (Rom. 8:1); we are clothed in righteousness through the blood of Jesus and will not face divine wrath. But the Lord will weigh the substance of our works and decide upon the reward we deserve. To help us understand this, Scripture describes four crowns. The first, which is called incorruptible, is given to those whose great desire is to walk obediently before God. Through struggles and even failures, they continue to die to the flesh and follow the Spirit. Second, the crown of life is granted to believers who stand firm, enduring trials without giving up or losing heart. Third, the crown of righteousness is bestowed upon those who long for Christ's appearing and walk godly lives through Him. Fourth, God will give the crown of glory to those who share His Word with others. And as the Bible tells us, we will be awed by Jesus' glory and honored just to lay our crowns at His feet. The supreme reward is for us to manifest God's glory throughout eternity. We will experience ultimate joy in His presence forever, but we don't have to wait: we can invest today by serving Him obediently and humbly. Done with the right motive, service blesses us now and in our life to come. Heavenly Rewards Inspiration Point Guest speaker at Kadoka, Belvidere churches

Meals for the Elderly Sometime in the 1960s I remem- ber my Dad telling me that he did- nt need health insurance. He said that for his efforts in World War II he was promised to always have health care when he needed it, and that it would be provided for free by our government. He proudly as- serted that in this country we take care of our own. The US Department of Veterans Affairs, or lovingly known as the VA, provides for health care of the soldier after her or his service to the country. I dont think my Dad had it quite right about totally free health care for all retired soldiers, but I think he was correct about our country providing care when needed. Indeed the VA provides in a very big way for many men and women who have given military service to our country. And the need for espe- cially rehabilitation type care is on the rise. During military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and be- cause of superb emergency and in- tensive modern health treatment there, soldiers have survived, like never before, after sustaining tremendous injuries. The VA has had to develop and enhance ways to enable injured soldiers back to function in society. This defines rehabilitation, which is accomplished by providing: physical therapy to enhance strength and mobility; occupa- tional therapy to teach and im- prove ways to do activities of daily living; speech and language ther- apy to augment communication skills that may have been compro- mised by injury; and psychiatric support for those struggling with post traumatic stress syndrome and other mental health injuries resulting from war. Finally, and perhaps most challenging, rehabil- itation requires adequate treat- ment for the physical and psychological pain resulting from injuries of combat. Our country has a special re- sponsibility for those who we put in harms way. First to provide the best emergency and intensive care possible in order to save their lives. But then when they do sur- vive, we need to do everything we can to provide for rehabilitation. If we are going to enter into these conflicts, we had better take care of our own.

Capsule Sermons John Carr of White River was the recipient of the Mr. Spirit prize in the Ft. Pierre 4th of July parade. John is full of enthusiasm for life. He supports many local ac- tivities with his lively spirit. Jack and his daughters and families drove four beautifully matched black and white horses. They were pulling the decorated Ft. Pierre Livestock Auction wagon. Recently Blaine, Louann, Dan and Phoebe Krogman of White River and friends, Darrell and Joyce Kadel, of Illinois were pas- sengers on a Princess Cruise Ship which did the inside passage trip to Alaska. They flew to Seattle to board the liner there. They had great weather for the cruise and enjoyed a few of the side trips, too, such as the lumber jack show in Ketchican, a bit of fishing, and other sight-seeing trips. July 3, Doug, Naomi and son, Michael Krogman, stopped in for a brief visit and potluck meal at Clarence Krogmans home. They had attended Doug and Naomis daughter, Elizabeths, wedding in Thayne, WY, and were on the way to take Michael back to his home in Tennessee. Those that were there of Richard, Cliff and Blaines fam- ily came to visit while they were there. Noreen brought Kay and Mikes twins down to visit, too, as they were with them for a few days. Blaine and Louann had some company from North Dakota and Mitchell help them halter break some colts on Saturday. Cliff and Elaine and children and families all went on a camping trip prior to the 4th of July. Richard and Noreen took Mari- lyn Kent to Rapid City June 26 to fly back home to California. They spent the night with Sis and Dale McKee. June 30, Kay and the twins arrived for a visit. Kay went back home July 1, but left the twins be- hind for a visit until the 4th. When Richard and Noreen took the twins and met Mike and Kay in ONiell, they had lunch with them before returning home. Richard and Noreen were among the many who came to the open house for Robert and Sharons 50th anniversary Sunday after- noon at the Norris Township Hall. Jan Rasmussens niece, Cam, and her husband, Paul Rogers, came for a visit and brought with them a couple from Germany, Mar- tin and Anna. Martin is a minister and was very instrumental in Ger- many at the time of the tearing down of the Berlin Wall between east and west Germany, where he was a moderator/mediator. He re- ceived an award for all of his work at that time. They were guests of Jan on Thursday and Friday. Jan invited Dan, Dawn and Kate Ras- mussen and Blake, Amy, Jason and Patrick Lehman for a meal on Thursday. They all thoroughly en- joyed hearing Martin and Anna tell of things that went on at that time. Saturday, July 7, the Jake Ring family reunion was held at the Norris Township Hall, hosted by Janice Ring and her daughter, Melissa, and her children, Kolter and Kamdyn DeKay, and the Robert Ring family. There were 41 attending the event. Representing Erwins family were Marsha and Jonathan Ring (who had just re- turned a couple days previously from a trip on nephew Erics ship from Hawaii to California), Glen and Karla Ring and daughter, Car- men, and family, Erna was there with daughter, Linda, son, Darrell, and his daughter and son and their four children, daughter-in-law, Tanya Totton, and her daughters, Gabrielle and Courtney; Lawrences family included June and grandson, Matthew, and Bruce and Jessie Ring and five children; there were seven of the Robert Ring extended family, four of Bernards family, and one, Jan, from Ruebens family. (Rueben and Myles were helping the combiners so Bruce and Torey were free to come.) Fred Littau stopped in too. Lori Schmidt and her brother, Rob, were in Rapid City last week. Dan, Susan and Morgan Taft were in Martin on the 4th at the home of Alvin and Judie Simmons for a family get together. Cindy and Chris Knecht and sons of Tuthill joined them as well as Jeff and Michelle Simmons of Sturgis. The Tafts joined the throng at the an- niversary open house Sunday af- ternoon. Rev. Glenn Denke was a guest at the wedding of Andrew and Skye (Lindquist) Bork, and the reception following in Sioux Falls on Satur- day. He stayed overnight, and then returned in time to hold services at St. Peter in rural Midland. How- ever, at St. John, lay members Howard Heinert, Bill Huber and Bruce Ring led the patriotic serv- ice. Pastor did make it to the 50th anniversary celebration at Norris later Sunday afternoon. Kenda Huber attended the base- ball game at Wall where her nephews, Christian and Blaise, were on the Murdo baseball team. Murdo won, and then Kenda brought her nephews home with her to spend the rest of the week and weekend. On the 4th, the Huber family gathered to eat and visit (but no major fireworks due to dry conditions). Logan and Michelle VanderMay and family, Gary, Chris and Dawn Letellier, and Herbert Huber joined them, too. The Hubers are getting the combines ready to go. Gary and Anne Heinerts son, Alex, is in the Ukraine on a mission trip with 24 others. They left July 3 from Sioux Falls, flying to Chicago and from there to Munich, Germany, before heading on to Kiev. A fellow from their church in Sioux Falls had gone there a num- ber of years ago, and then went back again to start an orphanage. This group is going over there at his direction to hold a Bible camp, as many unchurched there showed an interest in a Bible camp. Marilyn Heinerts new hip is working for her, as she gets around in the house without a cane. She felt well enough to ride with Gary and Anne to Robert and Sharons open house Sunday afternoon. Jean Kary was in Kadoka on business Thursday. Friday she had a phone call from her daughter, Rae Staab, that her daughters Eliz- abeth and Cordelia and friend Kaitlyn had just returned from a ten day exploration of England, Ireland and Scotland. Sunday Ace and Edna and fam- ily and Jean and Brant were all at the anniversary reception for Robert and Sharon. Irene Kaufman and daughters, Marjorie Popkes and Carol Fergu- son, had a day of shopping in Valentine Saturday. Sunday after attending the anniversary open house, supper guests at Irenes were Gene and Marjorie Popkes, Ed and Carol and Pete and Marla Ferguson. Pastor Denke visited Bill and Marjorie Letellier Friday. Coleen Letellier visited them Sunday morning. Saturday, June 30, the Dave and Gale Letellier families helped Mar- jorie Letellier celebrate her birth- day by bringing her cake and serenading her. Last Monday JoAnn, Gale, Coleen and Hailey went to Rapid City to keep appointments. They celebrated Garys birthday after they returned home. Thursday Jerry, Gale and JoAnn were in Pierre on business. JoAnn went to the Fiegum Funeral Home for the visitation for the Chris Huse family. He was a brother-in- law of Marla Huse, who is a friend of JoAnns, and a state officer of Master Garderners. Saturday the Master Gardeners meeting was held at Mabel Schmits in Winner. JoAnn stopped in White River to pick up Donna Adrian. The lesson given that day was on New Canning and Preser- vation Requirements. They also made and canned hot mustard. Donna had taken a class in Valen- tine offered by the Nebraska Ex- tension Service. Gale, JoAnn, Gary and Dave Letellier and family were all in at- tendance at Robert and Sharons golden anniversary celebration. Jeanne Merchens brother, Dan, and family of Colestrip, MT left Friday after helping all week with wheat harvest. Then Harry and Jeanne headed for the BlackHills to visit Dawn Koch and family in Custer, and Darrell and Lynette Batie and family in Rapid City, re- turning home Sunday afternoon. Jeannine Woodward and Rose West visited Bob and Jean Magelky in Pierre Sunday. The Magelkys are getting geared up to move to Wyoming. The Bjornstad combine crew of Walhalla, ND arrived at the Ring ranch July 3, when the tempera- ture hit 106 degrees. They did get in some combining that day, but the fields they combined had be hit not only by a late frost, but also hail storms, so the harvest was poor. That was true of some of Ruebens fields and also the field down by Roberts, but fortunately the field by the home place was bet- ter. July 5, Matthew and June Ring went on a pie baking binge, pulled some more weeds while the pies cooled, and then took them to Bruce and Jessies for dessert after supper that evening. Matthews re- ward, as far as he was concerned, was getting to ride along with Uncle Bruce the next day, taking a packed lunch along, and even get- ting to ride in the combines. Stephanie and Ryan had come to get him right away in the morning that day. After the Jake Ring family re- union at the hall Saturday, there was a rearranging of tables and materials, and the hall was then decorated for the early 50th wed- ding anniversary of Robert and Sharon Ring. Sunday noon there was a meal served to the VanEpp relatives on Sharons side and the Ring families on Roberts side. Sharons brother, Eugene, and wife, Gay VanEpps, came from Sioux Falls, and their daughter, Anne Marie, and her husband, Rick Carr, came from Nebraska. Brother Ver- non and his wife, Jean, came from around Winner. Sharons cousin, Margie Jensen, and her husband, Harry, were also there for the meal, as well as many of the Rings who had been at the reunion the day be- fore. At 2:00 the open house and the deluge began. There were over 120 friends and relatives who ar- rived to wish Robert and Sharon well. Many cousins came from the Winner area and beyond, Norris and White River. There was a reg- ular stream of well-wishers all af- ternoon coming and going from all around the country. Some former community mem- bers who came were Emma Waack and her daughters, Dorothy and Mildred, and Ida Karlin and her daughter, Eunice. The three daughters of Edgar and Lorrain Waack made it from Pierre for the afternoon, too Carol and Debbie Peterson and Donna Sanborn. Friday morning, Ed and Carol Ferguson took their Jeep to Winner to be repaired along with a critter to be butchered. Pete and Marla followed with the flatbed to haul home a tractor that had been in the shop there. Carol was back in the Norris Post Office in the afternoon for some training for Susan Taft. Pete and Marla Ferguson, Ed and Carol Ferguson, Irene Kauf- man and Margie and Gene Popkes were among those attending the 50th anniversary celebration for Robert and Sharon Ring on Sun- day. Jes Ferguson stopped mid- combining to run in to the celebration, too. Although JaLynn Burmas birth- day was July 2, not everyone was around, so it wasnt celebrated until the 3rd when the Beckwiths, Burmas and Julie could join in with Jim and Marjorie Letellier to have her birthday party. On the 4th, Jim, Marjorie, Julie, Andrea Beckwith and Jakki Burma drove to Interior for the fireworks display there. The Norris Blackpipe commu- nity celebrated the 4th with ball games and fireworks. Friday the Burmas and Jim, Marjorie and Julie Letellier went to Martin and Kyle to watch the Blackpipe youth play baseball. They played two games and lost both, ending up playing under the lights and didnt get home until after midnight. However, they came back strong the next after- noon and defeated a Hot Springs team 25-1. Friday night after the games, JaLynn and Jakki Burma went home with Julie Letellier to Kil- gore, and the next morning headed into Valentine for the citywide rummage sale going on throughout the city. Sunday afternoon Jim and Mar- jorie Letellier and Jason and Ja- Lynn Burma were among the crowd at Robert and Sharon Rings golden a anniversary open house at the Norris Township Hall. A man should know how to whittle and spit. Thats according to the advice given by Professor Harold Hill to the boy, Winthrop, in the movie, The Music Man. This sounds right to Winthrop, and he immediately sets out to learn these skills. He claims before long that hes already getting pretty good at spitting. He doesnt make similar claims about whittling, but hes quite taken with the big pocket knife Professor Hill had given him. Ive noticed, generally speaking, that the joys of spitting seems somewhat more important to men than to women. Im not sure why. Personally, Im fairly good at it. I have a range of ten to twelve feet on a good day when my throat is manufacturing the right kind of ammunition. Naturally, that is with the wind since spitting into the wind is seldom a good idea un- less there are only gentle zephyrs instead of our normal hefty breezes. If you want to improve your ac- curacy at spitting, there is proba- bly no better way than with watermelon seeds. You can park on the porch and see how close you can come to some target youve set up such as a can, a box, or just a circle drawn in the dirt. There is one caution concerning this, how- ever, and it involves being careful that you dont breathe in too quickly and lodge a seed in your windpipe. Other than that, there isnt much danger involved unless it irritates someone who thinks spitting is disgusting. There are some of those kinds of people around. Tut, tut. When it comes to whittling, alas, I have very little natural abil- ity. About the only thing Ive ever done in that direction is peeling the bark from willow sticks and sharpening the points. These ac- tions provide a good implement for roasting hot dogs or marshmallows over a campfire. If youre trying to carve out the figure of a horse, or fish or bird, though, that does appear to be somewhat more difficult. Standard advice is that you just cut off everything that doesnt look like a horse or whatever it is youve set out to carve. There must be some- thing more to it than that, I sus- pect, since that process has never worked all that well for me. Then, too, Im somewhat para- noid about using sharp tools on hard objects since fingers some- times get damaged along the way. Ive spent way too many hours training these fingers of mine to play the piano to see them need- lessly damaged. As a result, Ive rejected the idea that men should know how to whittle. Instead, Ive changed one letter in whittle and come up with whistle. Now whistling is something I can do. It isnt a talent thats in popular de- mand, as far as I can tell, but my efforts sound pretty good to me when Im whistling along with the radio or a CD while running down the freeway. I first started trying to make these sounds through pursed lips in first grade when my teacher, who was also my cousin Marilyn, was my example. She lived with us and drove my sister and me some five miles to the schoolhouse in an old jeep that had no radio. As a re- sult, she often whistled to keep us entertained, and she was quite good at it. She even added vibrato which is a normal thing to do in most singing but not always in whistling. I still use vibrato since it seems more pleasing than just a straight tone. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the human mouth doesnt pucker to extremes so my tones only bridge a little over an octave. If the song Im dealing with gets too high or low, then I have to drop or raise an octave, but, when youre by yourself, who cares? I would like some day to learn how to do that really loud whistle that a few people do by putting two fingers between their lips. Ive never figured out the mechanics of that or known anyone who could teach me how to do it. Its a useful tool for quieting a bunch of people for an announcement, or just to get immediate attention when it is needed in an emergency or a tricky situation. Not many people know how to do it, and I guess Ill have to go out and beat the bushes to find someone who can if I ever want to learn the procedure. So guys, its important to learn how to spit, and you might also want to learn how to whittle or whistle, take your choice. You gals are welcome to join in these pur- suits as well. You just never know when a learned skill might come in terribly handy (at least to avoid boredom if nothing else.) Whittle and Spit Lookin Around by Syd Iwan Jim, Fayola and Aaron Mans- field traveled to Cherokee, IA, a week ago to attend the funeral of Jims brother-in-law, Ray Flewelling. They went on Friday and stayed overnight with Jims brother, Richard, in Sioux City be- fore attending the funeral the next day in Cherokee. They returned home Saturday evening. This weekend, Michelle and Tyrel Mansfield went to Rapid City to see Michelles folks and also two of her brothers who were there from Wis- consin and Georgia. The Georgia brother and family also came here for a visit. Fayola said that their daughter, Allison, and family were in some danger from fire there in Wyoming. They had packed up in case they needed to evacuate, but the blazes were controlled, in part by cooler weather and some rain, before doing a lot of damage. Former residents, Chris and Diana Elwood, were not so lucky with fire. The place where they live and work in Montana was largely burned although the houses were saved. It was even unclear for a while as to where the cattle had gotten themselves off to. Chuck Fortune reports they branded twice this last week and are now done with that. Fortunes dont start calving until May 1 so they brand later as well. Some of the calves were pretty good size al- ready but still manageable. Chuck said this kept the cooks on alert all week, but the needed meals were in fact prepared and consumed as needed. John Addison is back in the rodeo game after being out of it for quite a while due to a dislocated shoulder. Over the weekend of the fourth, he rode bareback in five rodeos in Dickenson, Killdeer, and Mandan, North Dakota, as well as in South Dakota events at Mo- bridge and Ft. Pierre. He did the best at Mobridge. John said this isnt a quick way to make money, but you can make some from time to time. His wife and child thought five rodeos were a bit much in such a short time and decided to stay at home instead of going along. Jim Addison waited all week for his daughter, Jami, to get home from camping with family and friends over by Pierre, and she did return on Sunday. On Monday, however, she was taking off again for a week in White River where she will attend basketball camp. Shell be staying there with the Neal Krogman family since they have a daughter her age. On Sun- day, Jami turned thirteen so Jim and Georgann again have a teenager in the house. The whole family spent a weekend and the 4th near Pierre camping. This is a yearly thing when various families from Murdo and other places get together for a few days. Sometimes there are up to eight families al- though this year was only four. Georganns son, Matt, came to the camp for a few days as well. Geor- gann also traveled to Rapid City on Friday to do some barrel racing. Scot and Jodie OBryan had their daughter, Faye, and kids home for a day or so last week. Jodies sister from Oklahoma also came to visit. The fun night OBryans have for local people and kids wasnt that big the last time due to heat and people being busy with the 4th, but a bigger group is expected this week. The event is held every other week and entails various cowboy events for all ages. Bunny Green had a nice sur- prise after church on Sunday. Five generations of her offspring came to visit. Her daughter, Darlene Wiedemer, was there plus her daughter, Cindy. Cindys daughter, Carla, was there plus her daughter, Destiny. Destiny had her new baby with her. Naturally, they had to go outside on the porch and take a six- generation photograph. This would tend to indicate that Bunny is a great-great-great grandmother (three greats.) Cindys daughter, Kiesha, was also there with her new baby. Other spouses and kids came as well. The visitors brought dinner which included fried chicken, salad and lots of other stuff. The family planned it to be a surprise, and it was. Most of the visitors, except Darlene, are from Belle Fourche. Bunny said her son, Gary, called from Idaho on Sunday. He had been visited by his daugh- ter from Oklahoma, and they went to the place 50 miles from Boise that Gary is fixing up for when he retires from his position as boss at a large mine. Eric and Pam Osborn attended a fish fry on Sunday at Randy Pe- ters on Main Street. Greg Badure was also there and others. Dana Badure wasnt there as she and the kids were returning from Maine and a visit to her father. Rhonda Terkildsen went with them. While Dana was gone, Eric, Wally Wells, and others were helping tend her goats who have become pretty good at escaping their pen. Back at home, Eric and Pam arent too hopeful about their garden which is being invaded by grasshoppers and such. Pam continues to work at 1880 Town, and Eric is back to working at Moses Building Center in Philip after being gone from there for over a year. He has been back a couple of months now. Over the 4th, Eric visited his mom and sister in Rapid City. Ronda and Rick Dennis had company over the holiday, namely four of Rondas cousins, Karla, Claudine, Jennifer, Renae and their children. In addition grand- children, Carter and Taya Iversen were there, too. On Thursday, they played tourists at Wall Drug, had a BBQ that evening. Lori Iversen was able to join the group that evening. On Saturday they all went to the 1880 Town before the cousins returned to Miller. Rudy Reimann spent the week- end camping and fishing on the Missouri by the Oahe Dam. Andy and Kerri Schofield and kids were also there and Casey Sammons plus Rudys brother, Forrest, from Sundance, WY. They caught a lot of walleyes, some small-mouth bass and others and limited out one day. Rudy said he should have stayed home and baled some hay, but it was time for a vacation. He said it was pretty nice weather, and he had a good weekend. Going for the victory This young pitcher, Tavern Hart, throws a strike in a game when Blackpipe won against Hot Springs in Martin.

West River, is a historical synopsis of the Grindstone area. The book has been released by local resident and now published author, Ruby Gabriel. After Gabriel snapped a sunrise silhouette photo of the Pleasant Valley School building on Christ- mas morning, 2007, her sister com- mented that someone should tell the stories of the area before those stories were lost. Within the next few months, Gabriel discovered in her fathers desk drawer the his- tory of her country school, thus fur- ther intriguing her sense of history. Soon after that, a King family de- scendent now living out of state visited the old Dowling Church. He had memories of it from when he was only six years old. Gabriel un- locked the building and allowed him and his wife in, where the man reminisced. A few weeks later, Gabriel received from him a copy of Bessie Kings old family diary, which contained a wealth of history on the area. Gabriel set out to be that someone to tell the stories. The cover of the 100-page book displays the photo that started the project. The stories inside take the reader back to when the developing community was part of the Great Sioux Reservation. Though the books direction is varied, every- thing in here goes together, said Gabriel, who clarified, I wanted to write about ranching. The indexed documentation uses old newspaper clippings, mostly from the South Dakota Historical Society Archives, diaries, local records, cemetery list- ings and recollections of older resi- dents of the Grindstone area. After the research, I almost feel like I was there when this hap- pened, said Gabriel. I just feel God has lead me to do this. He gave me a wonderful sunrise, and he gave me these people who were lost on the steps of the Dowling Church. I couldnt gather all the infor- mation and retell the stories of Jamie Leaghton Gilmore better than was done by the newspapers, said Gabriel, who included stories of Gilmore and three other histori- cal murderers. She noted that the town of Philips namesake, Scotty Philip, was the executor of the property of Mexican Ed, who was shot dead during a poker game. The information runs the gamut of 710 rabbits being killed during a two-day hunt, to poetry about the old schoolhouse chalkboard, to obit- uaries of people in the Dowling Community Church Cemetery. Theres a whole section of babies buried out there. Its very sad, said Gabriel. In putting the book to- gether, Gabriel said, I had a won- derful time. I think if you are going to be addicted to something, history is a great thing. One of the quoted early newspa- pers was The Grindstone Bee. The whole thing was a hoot, said Gabriel, who found that the papers owner, William Henry Bruno, would publish whenever I feel like it or have time to waste. He would barter for payment, but would not accept prunes. Newspapers were important in the areas early his- tory because the Homesteading Act required potential landowners to publish their stakes in a newspa- per five consecutive times. Gabriel has been asked to hold book signings, at Stoneville, July 21, at Chamberlain where the book was printed, and tentatively at Union Center. She is already work- ing on her next book, about ghost towns of Meade and Perkins coun- ties.

The primary purpose of the Cain Creek Land Exchange exchange is to consolidate land ownership where private and Na- tional Forest System (NFS) lands are in- termixed and acquire black footed ferret habitat in the Conata Basin. The Federal parcels proposed for ex- change are located across the Buffalo Gap National Grassland from the Towns of Hot Springs to Kadoka. All legal de- scriptions are referenced by the Black Hills Meridian and are located in Fall River, Pennington, and Jackson Coun- ties, South Dakota. The Jackson County Commissioners will host a joint public meeting with the Ne- braska National Forest and Grasslands on the proposed land exchange. The public meeting will be held in the Court- room of the Jackson County Courthouse, 700 Main Street, Kadoka, SD 57543 at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, July 18, 2012. [Published July 12 & 19, 2012 at the total estimated cost of $15.89] SPECIAL MEETING BOARD OF JACKSON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS June 29, 2012 The Board of Jackson County Commis- The Board of Jackson County Commis- sioners met in special session at 3:00 p.m., Friday, June 29, 2012 in the Com- missioner's Room of the Jackson County Courthouse. Chairman Jim Stilwell called the meeting to order with members Glen Bennett, Delores Bonenberger, Larry Denke and Ron Twiss present. All motions carried unanimously unless otherwise noted. Sheriff Clements met with the board. He informed the board that Deputy Ian Patrick has submitted written resignation and his last day of work will be August 21, 2012. Bonenberger moved, Twiss seconded, that the resignation be ac- cepted. Bonenberger moved, Twiss seconded, that Sheriff Clements advertise the Deputy Sheriff position in the Kadoka Press and statewide classifieds. Vicki Wilson, Auditor, informed the board that both the Director of Equalization and Highway Department employment ads have ended, and inquired as to whether the board wanted the ads published again. Denke moved, Bennett seconded, that the Highway Department employ- ment ad be continued in the Kadoka Press and statewide classifieds. Twiss moved, Bonenberger seconded, that further personnel matters be tabled until the end of the meeting. Denke moved, Stilwell seconded, that old, non-working computer equipment be declared surplus and taken to the dump for disposal. The draft 2013 Jackson County budget was reviewed. Discussion was held on prior years unexpended budget amounts. Bennett stated he would like to see the county placing funds into Capital Outlay funds for equipment, bridges, and build- ing upkeep, and that he would like to see funds placed in CDs. Vicki Wilson, Audi- tor, informed the board she will make ad- justments to line items for group health insurance in all departmental budgets, and will complete the means of finance section of the proposed budget. Marlene Knutson, Central S. D. En- hancement District met with the board. Discussion was held on the CDB grant process. She informed the board that whether the board buys a building or whether the board builds on current site, an appraisal will need to be done. Con- struction of a new building or remodeling of an acquired building will require an ar- chitect or engineer. All such items will be done following a bidding process. Discussion was held on information ob- tained concerning the proposed Library building project. Estimates received on construction of a new building proposed for the current location of the Library were reviewed. Bennett reported that the estimates include concrete, plumbing, and wiring for the proposed new building. Bennett also reported he has contacted Joe Handrahan and he would be willing to sell his property north of the Library to the county. Denke reported that he has contacted the owners of the property that currently houses the FSA office, Jackson County Conservation District and Family Youth Services and they are willing to sell their property to the county. The board recessed for supper and re- convened at 7:00 p.m. in the Courtroom to hold public meetings for input on ob- taining a Community Development Block Grant for the Library, drivers licensing services and other public comments. All board members were present. Marlene Knutson, Central S. D. Enhancement District was present. Thirty-seven citi- zens appeared for the public meetings. One option for replacing the current Li- brary building would be to demolish the current building and build on the current location. Estimates for the construction of a building on site totals $195,146. Construction costs would increase up to 30% if federal specifications would need to be met for a grant. Construction costs could increase up to 30% due to close proximity to other buildings on both sides of the current building. Joe Handrahan has informed the county he would be will- ing to sell his three lots to the north of the Library to the county to construct a new Library building. Proposed cost of the lots is $15,000. Purchasing the additional lots would keep construction costs down. A second option proposed for housing the Library would be to purchase the building at 805 Main Street which cur- rently houses the FSA office, Jackson County Conservation District and Family Youth Services. The owners are willing to sell their property to the county at a pro- posed cost of $200,000. Report was made that some remodeling would need to be done, and possibly installation of new heating, air conditioning, and plumb- ing which could add another $50,000 to the project. Report was made that the owners would be willing to include addi- tional lots next to their building if the county would be willing to trade their cur- rent site and lots they may acquire from Joe Handrahan. Marlene Knutson reviewed the Commu- nity Development Block Grant Program and indicated that Jackson County is el- igible to apply as the county is approxi- mately 70% low and moderate income according to 2000 Census information. Knutson informed all present that the Community Development Block grant would be an approximately 50 50 matching grant. With a total project cost of $300,000 the county would provide $150,000 in matching funds. She re- ported that an appraisal by a certified ap- praiser will be required if the project involves the purchase of a building, and engineers/architects are required for re- modeling and new construction. She re- ported that the grant application deadline is July 15, 2012. Discussion was held on funding for the Library project. Information was prepared showing tax increase with a $50,000 opt out of the tax limitation and it was given to persons in attendance. Using current year tax levies, the county tax would in- crease $3.26 on $10,000 of property value. Vicki Wilson, Auditor, reported that BankWest would be willing to loan funds to the county if they could provide proof of ability to pay, such as an opt out. Ben- nett informed the group that state law al- lows for counties to obtain loans for up to a period of 30 years for Library building purposes. Denke stated that should the county decide to purchase the building at 805 Main Street, there would be rent rev- enue from the NRCS / Soil Conservation and the Youth and Family Services of- fices. Bonenberger reported that citizens have stated they would donate funds if the Library remained downtown on Main Street. Vicki Wilson reported that should the county decide an opt out will be re- quired for financing the project, the dead- line for opt out resolutions is July 15, 2012. Pros and cons of an opt out of the tax limitation were discussed. Brad Stone, Director of Equalization, re- ported on assessed valuation of similar lots and properties within Kadoka. Discussion was held on the county ac- quiring the building at 805 Main Street versus constructing on the current site. The ability to move into a building without the Library services being discontinued for a long period of time, no storage of Li- brary contents, and allowing the NRCS / Soil Conservation and Youth and Family Services to remain at their current loca- tions were of main concern. Following discussion, it was consensus of citizens in attendance that it would be most ben- eficial if the county were to purchase the current building located at 805 Main Street. Marlene Knutson requested information from the group as to items for the Com- munity Development Housing Needs Plan. Needs were identified, prioritized by group consensus and ways to imple- ment the concerns were noted: Needs in priority order were: library facilities, hous- ing shortage, ambulance facility, roads, and economic development and tourism. Inquiry was made as to whether the county was considering relocating the Community Action Program, which is lo- cated in the rear of the current Library building. The board stated there would be no unoccupied space at the new building. The board requested that letters of sup- port on the Library project be received by the county no later than July 9, 2012 and that they can be mailed to PO Box 280, Kadoka, SD 57543. At 8:00 p.m. discussion began on whether Jackson County should continue to provide drivers licensing services for the S. D. Dept. of Public Safety. The board explained that the county receives $5.00 per application, and the amount the county retains is much smaller than the amount forwarded on to the state. The county requested the county retain one-half of the license fee, but the state has declined the countys request. State law does not allow for the county to as- sess an additional fee. A report showing driver license fees collected over the past three and one-half years was prepared and given to those in attendance. The board explained that the two offices that are providing the services are dis- rupted from work they need to be doing in their offices, so the board is looking at hiring a person to assist in both the Reg- ister of Deeds and Director of Equaliza- tion offices. Report was made that since more documentation is now required to obtain a drivers license, the coping ma- chine is used more and county paper is being used. Report was made that the Sheriff, Deputy Sheriff, Kadoka Chief of Police, Terry Deuter, and Brad Stone are certified to provide driving tests. Mitzi Mitchell reported that driver li- censes may be obtained from 8:00 a.m. until noon, and 1:00 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. After 3:30 p.m. the office in Pierre has closed and they have no way to verify needed information. Report was made that the state provides the service in a few surrounding communities, but for lim- ited hours, one day per month. Mitzi Mitchell also reported that since birth cer- tificates and marriage licenses are now required to obtain a drivers license, those documents are being obtained through her in the Register of Deeds of- fice. Persons in attendance informed the board that they prefer coming to Kadoka to obtain their drivers license versus going to Rapid City or Pierre, and feel that persons outside Jackson County feel the same. They informed the board that other businesses in Kadoka benefit from persons coming to Kadoka to obtain their drivers license. Persons in attendance inquired as to whether other county office staff could assist with the drivers licens- ing. Comment was made that this is a service to the public, and the county should not expect to make money on providing the service. It was consensus of the public in atten- dance that Jackson County continue to provide the drivers licensing service. The final topic of discussion at the public meeting was whether courthouse county controlled offices should remain open over the noon hour. The Commissioners have received requests that offices re- main open by persons coming from the rural areas of the county, needing to complete business while in town, and one suggestion was made that the county offices remain open over the noon hour during the summer months. Comments from the public in attendance began with suggestion that office staff take lunch break at different times. In- quiry was made as to when the county offices began closing for lunch break, as over thirty years ago the offices were open over the noon hour. Comment was also made by a person in attendance that county office staff normally do office banking and get their office mail during their lunch break. Inquiry was made as to whether the county has ever made public notice of office hours. Another comment from a person in attendance was made that if a citizen comes in a few minutes before noon, the county office staff stays to wait on that person, and the same is true if they come in a few minutes before closing at the end of the day. County office staff gave response as to being open over the noon hour, and then closing the office when the only other of- fice staff member is sick or on vacation, causing frustration for the citizens be- cause the office was supposed to be open but now it is closed. The Register of Deeds and Director of Equalization of- fices currently have one person in each office, so those offices would be closed for lunch break even if other offices were open over the noon hour. Comment was made from a person in at- tendance that they felt it would be best if the offices remained closed over the noon hour, that way everyone would know county offices are closed at noon and it would be less confusing or frustrat- ing. The board asked for a show of hands on courthouse county offices being close during the noon hour. Following the show of hands it was determined that court- house county offices continue to remain closed during the noon hour. The board resumed their special meeting in the Commissioners Room. Report was made that Andrea Johnston has declined Jackson Countys offer of position in the Director of Equalization of- fice. Applications received for office staff in the Director of Equalization office were reviewed. Discussion was held on the person filling the position being willing to become a certified assessor, and also the need for the person to fill the position of part-time Deputy Register of Deeds. Denke moved, Twiss seconded, that the Clerk / Deputy Director of Equalization and part-time Deputy Register of Deeds position be offered to Rose Bennett. Vicki Wilson, Auditor, suggested the board refer to the personnel policy. Roberts Rule of Order was discussed. Motion carried with the following vote: Bennett, abstaining; Bonenberger, nay; Denke, yea; Twiss, yea; Stilwell, abstaining. There being no further business to come before the board Bonenberger moved, Twiss seconded, that the meeting be ad- journed and that the board meet in regu- lar session at 9:00 a.m., Monday, July 9, 2012.

Seven cases of early syphilis have been reported and three cases of late, or hidden, syphilis, which occurs when early stages of the disease are not treated. The last outbreak was in 2006- 2007 when 30 cases were reported. Last year there were no cases. Ninety percent of the current cases are male and all are white. The median age is 46, with cases ranging in age from 23 to 60. Primarily a sexually transmit- ted disease, syphilis is a bacterial infection. Transmission by sexual contact requires exposure to moist lesions of skin or mucous mem- branes. If a pregnant woman has syphilis the disease may spread to the fetus. The first symptom is usually a painless sore at the site of initial contact. About six weeks later, a rash may appear on any part of the body: trunk, arms, legs, palms, soles, etc. Other, more generalized symptoms can include tiredness, fever, sore throat, headaches, hoarseness, loss of appetite and swollen glands. The final stage of syphilis can damage the central nervous system, heart and eyes and can even cause death. Genital chancres, or sores, caused by syphilis also allow easier transmis- sion of HIV. Syphilis can be prevented by ab- stinence. Sexually active individu- als can reduce their risk of the disease by maintaining a mutually monogamous relationship, limiting sex partners, and using condoms. For more information about syphilis and its prevention, visit the Department of Health website doh.sd.gov/DiseaseFacts/Syphilis.a spx or the Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention site at www.cdc.gov/std/syphilis/.

If youre no longer actively working, these are the years to do the things youve al- ways wanted to do, such as spend- ing quality time with your grandchildren or travel to your Bucket List locations. Staying fit in your golden years is a goal we can all strive for. As you age, do the things you like to do and stay independent, by being physically active. Regular exercise can reduce the risk of de- veloping some diseases. In some cases it can help manage chronic conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, or diabetes. Being physi- cally active can also improve mood and reduce feelings of depression. Thirty minutes of moderate physi- cal activity daily is recommended. Plan to talk to your doctor before joining a vigorous exercise pro- gram if you have any of the follow- ing health issues such as recent hip or back surgery, dizziness or shortness of breath, chest pain, or any other concerns. Your doctor may want to provide you with safety tips to assist with managing your physical activity. Do you have a favorite straight- back chair that you enjoy using to read a book or watch television? Maybe its time to re-purpose your chair and use it for exercising. Chair exercises allow senior adults to exercise and move without put- ting strain and pressure on their bodies. Here is a simple chair exercise to try. Place your feet flat on the floor while sitting tall in a chair. While looking forward, gently pull in your stomach, which maintains the strength of the muscles that support the hip, spine and shoul- der. This improves posture and in- creases upper body strength. Sit upright in your chair for an- other chair exercise. Place your hand on your thigh and slowly raise your other hand, stretching your fingers towards the ceiling; youll feel a stretch in your waist. Repeat on each side and hold for a maximum of 15 seconds each time. To ensure that youre safe and healthy while exercising, remem- ber to wear lightweight, loose-fit- ting clothing and proper shoes that offer safety and support while you are working out. Also, drink water, before, during and after exercise. Request a free copy of Exercise & Physical Activity: Your Everyday Guide from the National Institute on Aging from http://1.usa.gov/tz8JiB or down- load and print your own copy. The guide shows visuals for a variety of exercises. Being physically active is for everyone. Even small in- creases in activity can be big steps toward being more physically ac- tive. Ann Schwader, Nutrition Field Specialist SDSU Extension-Winner Regional Extension Center Glyphosate Resistant Kochia Glyphosate resistant kochia was first confirmed in South Dakota in the Gettysburg area in 2009. A few additional cases were confirmed in 2010 and 2011. In 2012, resistant populations seemed to expand greatly and it appears to exist in Tripp County. Seed from suspected plants are planned to be submitted to SDSU for testing later this summer. One agronomist stated that he will likely treat all soybean fields as if the kochia is glyphosate resistant next year. This change in kochia may justify more aggressive man- agement in soybeans and rota- tional crops. Kochia has two weaknesses which must be exploited. One is that kochia seed has very little dormancy as seed may only sur- vive in the soil for a couple years. The second weakness is that kochia emerges very early in the spring, so populations could be greatly depleted in no-till fields using an effective burndown herbi- cide. Mike Moechnig, SDSU Exten- sion Weed Specialist, suggests management strategies for glyphosate resistant kochia. A good burndown herbicide program that includes foliar and soil residual ac- tivity may greatly minimize plants emerging later in the season. A soil residual herbicide will be neces- sary to control glyphosate resist- ant kochia in soybeans. Since the seed does not survive long in the soil, it will be important to aggres- sively control kochia in rotational crops such as corn or wheat. Kochia will not likely be eradi- cated from a field, but greatly de- pleting the seed bank may allow adequate control in Roundup Ready soybeans with a soil resid- ual herbicide followed by a post- emergence tank mix partner if necessary. Also, consider alterna- tives such as Liberty Link soy- beans. For more detailed information on controlling glyphosate resistant kochia and other troublesome weeds, visit South Dakota Weeds at: www.mikesweeds.com. Canada Thistle in South Dakota Canada thistle is the most trou- blesome noxious weed in South Dakota. That is certainly true in south-central South Dakota as I see numerous patches in my trav- els between home and my office in Winner. Populations increased ex- ponentially from the 1950's to 2000. Since then, populations have remained somewhat steady at about 1.5 - 1.8 million acres. Populations have likely been kept steady due to declining acres of pasture and grasslands (result- ing from increased crop produc- tion) and the introduction of new, more effective, herbicides. There are few sustainable methods to control Canada thistle. Biocontrol options are limited due to Canada thistle's close relationship to na- tive thistles. Thick grass can com- pete well with Canada thistle, but disturbances due to grazing or haying can enable patches to spread. To really deplete Canada thistle, all land owners need to ag- gressively control patches. An effective control program consists of proper choice of herbi- cides, proper timing of applica- tions, and persistence. For detailed information on herbicides and ap- plication timing, visit South Dakota Weeds at: www.mikesweeds.com.
