Schnee was born on April 7, 1917 to Bob and Maggie (Illing- worth) Schnee in Kadoka, South Dakota. And to this family, Harold had two brothers, Milo and Linton, and one sister, Ruth Solberg. Harold went to grade school in Kadoka and graduated the salutato- rian of his high school graduating class. He rode a horse six miles to school for several years. That was until I talked my parents into buying me a bicycle, which was a big mistake, Harold said with a laugh. How- ever, he enjoyed driving his mother to church six miles with a single horse buggy. He married Mary J. Burton on August 19, 1967 and they made their home in Kadoka. Harolds family is made up of four children: Clinton, Carol (Labau), Caron (Mielke), and one stepdaughter, Teresa Burton (Smith). He is also lucky to have five grandchildren living in Kadoka: Aubrey Schnee and Ana, Molly, Kate and Max KcKeehan. After serving in the United States Army from 1942-1945, he returned to his hometown of Kadoka where he continues to live. Some of the organizations Harold has belonged to include the Pres- byterian Church in Kadoka where he served as a Deacon for 50 years. He was also on the school board for 30 years and served as the president for one year. One of Harolds favorite hobbies include 30 years of riding motorcy- cles, including going to the rally in Sturgis. He started the first Family Wagon Train in this area and the Badlands Wagon Train. He also spent time breaking horses and mules to drive. Harolds dad had the first mules in the country so Harold grew up with them. Other hobbies hes enjoyed throughout the years are ballroom dancing and square dancing. For 36 years he ran a dairy; at one time he had one of the biggest grade A dairies in the State of South Dakota. Harold served on the state dairy board for several years and also was also on the Black Hills Milk Produc- ers board. He sold the dairy in 1980 and went back to sheep. Bum lambs put Harold through school. And dont forget the many times he was in the Days of 76 Parade in Deadwood, both riding (playing the doctor) and driving a team and wagon. Harold has always been a big animal lover and had many excellent working dog who would do anything for him. He became a resident at the Kadoka Nursing Home on August 2, 2011 and he is also the second oldest resident at the home.

SDSU Extention One year later This fall, many livestock produc- ers veterinarian Jim Stangle works with have to be creative when it comes to finding forage for their cattle. The drought left them with re- duced hay supplies and little to no winter grazing. To help ensure that the forages his clients find are safe to feed, the Haakon County veteri- narian tests samples of standing forages for nitrates. "Because of the drought we knew nitrates would be a big prob- lem this year. I took an SDSU Ex- tension training course so I could provide local testing to producers in my area," said Stangle, who was one of many South Dakota veteri- narians to receive certification from SDSU Extension this summer on the Nitrate Quik test. Along with getting their forages tested for nitrates, Stangle says that because many of his clients have to purchase additional forages or protein supplements, this year, many cattle producers rely on SDSU Extension to provide them with unbiased information on af- fordable options, as well as, cus- tomized feed rations. "Because they aren't selling a product, producers know they can trust SDSU Extension Field Spe- cialists for unbiased recommenda- tions," Stangle said. Adele Harty is the SDSU Exten- sion Cow/Calf Field Specialist Stangle works with. She is one of about 40 SDSU Extension Field Specialists hired when a new staffing model was put into place Oct. 2011 as part of a complete SDSU Extension reorganization, implemented to comply with state budget cuts. Specialized, focused and ready to serve Harty has worked within SDSU Extension since 2005. When she was rehired in 2011 as an SDSU Extension Field Specialist her job description changed. Although she continues to serve livestock produc- ers, within the new staffing model, Harty now focuses on working specifically with cow/calf produc- ers. And, instead of only serving producers within a seven-county area, she works with all South Dakota cattle producers. "I was raised on a cow/calf oper- ation. My education is focused in cow/calf nutrition. Before I was re- hired, I worked with all livestock producers. Now that I'm able to focus on, and work with solely cow/calf producers; I can utilize my knowledge, experience and educa- tion to help SD cow/calf producers to become better at what they are already good at," Harty said. As a field specialist within today's SDSU Extension staffing model, Harty and her peers are ex- pected to have their master's de- gree. Also, instead of working out of county offices, today field special- ists office in one of eight regional centers, but often travel through- out the state. "This provides a greater level of expertise to the entire state," said Rosie Nold, SDSU Extension Pro- gram Director for Agriculture and Natural Resources. "Instead of gen- eralists in each county, we have several specialized staff serving the entire state. This allows SDSU Ex- tension to provide a deeper level of focus, expertise and research-based information to help solve the chal- lenging questions or issues South Dakotans face." Karla Trautman, Associate Di- rector of SDSU Extension adds that because Field Specialists serve the entire state, there is an in- creased focus on collaboration be- tween SDSU Extension Field Specialists, SDSU faculty and sup- porters throughout the state. "The synergies created today are incredible," Trautman said. Kiersta Machacek, principal of Hayward Elementary in Sioux Falls would agree. By working with SDSU Extension, her students now have a school garden.

Romans 8:32-39 We all experience hardship, and trials can shake us unless we cling to truth. Let me share three assurances to remember when troublesome circumstances arise. First, God will always meet our needs. This doesn't mean He provides everything we want. Instead, the Lord will bless us with all that is necessary to fulfill His purpose for our lives. His goal is to sanctify us, not simply to satisfy each immediate desire. Second, we're never alone. God promised to be with us always (Heb. 13:5). Loneliness often accompa- nies hardship, so we may feel deserted or opposed by family and friends. But our Father has sent His Spirit to be with us and in us, until the day He brings us to heaven (John 14:16-17). He is all we need-- our advocate, guide, helper, and comforter. Recognizing His intimate presence gives us confidence in the midst of trials. Third, God's love is eternal. Regardless of our circumstances or poor decisions, His care is uncondi- tional--even when He reprimands us. Loving parents allow disobedient children to experience the conse- quences of wrong choices; they recognize the benefit of learning from mistakes. Of course, there are also times when we are negatively affected by others' wrong actions. Even then, God is sovereign and allows only what will bring good in His followers' lives. In difficult times, we can remember that God will meet all of our needs, is always with us, and loves us forever. Though Jesus said we would face troubles in this life, He offered encouragement: The ultimate victory is His. So keep in mind that trials are fleeting, whereas our Father's love is forever.

Meals for the Elderly Dear Editor, The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien will appear December 14 at the movie theaters around the country. Many people have already enjoyed the movie version of The Lord of the Rings which was also written by Tolkien. The Hobbit has been widely re- spected as a childrens book but it has often been ignored by adults. Many of its themes are very rele- vant to our modern world and many of the ideas are the same as Christian thought. Some of these ideas include; The struggle between good and evil; The good and bad use of power; The corrupting power of greed and selfishness; The significance of human choice and value of one committed individual; The idea of self-sacrifice. These are all thoughts that per- meate The Hobbit but are also prevalent in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I cannot recommend The Hobbit movie since it has not yet appeared but I recommend the book. On these long winter nights let Bilbo and Gandof, the wizard transport you the world of Middle Earth. Sincerely Yours, /s/Gary McCubbin, pastor at the Presbyterian Church in Kadoka and the Belvidere Community Church I was just turning 30 years old when I first noticed blood in my urine. I tried the time-honored method of ignoring it for a bit hop- ing it would go away, but it contin- ued, and so I saw a doctor friend who thought it might be a form of kidney disease innocently called minimal-change disease. He said, This means that it could be up to ten years before your kidneys would fail. I think he was trying to be reassuring, but it turned my blood cold. Making the story short, the blood was not from the kidney, came as a result of jogging, and thankfully here I am 33 years later with working kidneys. It made me reflect not only on the direction of my life, but also on the causes of renal failure and kidney disease. There are many inherited rea- sons for the kidney to fail, the most common of which is called polycys- tic kidney disease where the kid- neys become filled-in by cysts, which choke off normal kidney function. There is little any indi- vidual can do to prevent something like this since it happens by the luck of a genetic coin toss. Kidney disease can also be the result of many acquired condi- tions. Several are caused by the immune system gone awry, which follows infectious conditions such as Hanta virus and certain strep- tococcus bacterial infections. These are simply the consequence of a bad break being at the wrong place at the wrong time. What is most important to real- ize, however, is that there are many causes of kidney disease that can be prevented. Of course high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes all run in families but un- like the polycystic type of condi- tion, these can often be effectively treated with appropriate medi- cines and with a life-style change of exercising more and eating less. Sometimes kidney damage re- sults from certain medicines, such as a common Chinese herbal med- icine or kidney toxicity from too many pain relievers for too long. You should know that daily doses of Tylenol, Advil, and Aleve for many months could actually harm your kidneys. It is 33 years after a big scare in my life, and I do not take my health and especially my kidneys for granted. Neither should you. Rick Holm, M.D., Medical Editor Taking Kidneys for Granted Thomas S. McDonnell_____________ Thomas S. Tom McDonnell, age 101, of Wall, S.D., died Friday, November 30, 2012, at the Philip Nursing Home. Thomas S. McDonnell was born, along with his twin brother, Vern, on May 15, 1911, on their parents homestead 10 miles north of Quinn, the son of Frank and Ida (Riesing) McDonnell. They grew up on the homestead and received their education at the Huron Township rural school in that area. As a young man, Tom farmed in the Quinn area. Tom was united in marriage to Rose Melvin on December 24, 1945, at Cheyenne, Wyo. Tom and Rose, along with his brother, Vern, and Verns wife, Beulah, farmed on the family homestead. Tom later purchased a D-8 Cat scraper and Dozer, and built dams and roads in the Quinn area for over 10 years. In 1972, Tom and Rose moved into Wall, yet Tom returned to the homestead daily. After Roses death on October 12, 2001, Tom continued to reside in Wall. In 2009, at the age of 98, he remained active operating the D-7 Cat and did a lot of dirt work for his nephew Steve. In May 2010, Tom moved into the Philip Nursing Home where he joined his brother, Vern. Survivors include his twin brother, Vern McDonnell of Philip; his nephew, Steven McDonnell and his wife, Terry, of Quinn, and his niece, Lea Ymker, of Armour; 18 nieces and nephews; a sister-in- law, Cecilia Melvin of Wall; and a host of other relatives and friends. In addition to his wife Rose, Tom was preceded in death by his fa- ther Frank in 1955, his mother Ida in 1957; and a great-nephew Travis McDonnell. Graveside services were held Tuesday, December 4, at the Wall Cemetery, with Father Leo Haus- mann officiating. At Tom's request, in lieu of flow- ers memorials are to be directed to the Philip Nursing Home. Arrangements were with the Rush Funeral Chapel of Wall. His online guestbook is available at www.rushfuneralhome.com Robert John Reedy________________ Robert John Reedy, 67, Vale, S.D., died Thursday, November 29, 2012, at his residence in Vale. Mass of Christian burial was celebrated Monday, December 3, 2012, at St. Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Newell with Father Tyler Dennis officiating. Burial was at the Vale Cemetery. Robbie was born January 18, 1945, in Kadoka to John and Emi- lie (Barcal) Reedy. He grew up in a family of six children north of Philip, near the Grindstone Buttes. He graduated from Philip High School in 1963. Robbie then attended one year at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technol- ogy. He joined the U.S. Navy and served in Germany for two years before being assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Cyprus for another two years. He was one of only two who earned the rank of 2nd Class Petty Officer in the entire U.S. Navy that year. Following his honorable dis- charge, Robbie returned to Philip after the death of his younger brother to help run the family ranch. He married Paula Weiss on June 9, 1973, in Mondovi, Wisc. They ranched in Philip until 1977 when they moved to Fairpoint, where they ranched until 1988. They then moved to Newell. Rob- bie always said, "They were tough but wonderful years." Robbie then became a surveyor for the Bureau of Reclamation. In 2001, he began working at the Department of Vet- erans Affairs, Fort Meade. His family was Robbie's greatest treasure. He loved to dance, was a great storyteller, and was a good friend to many. He loved his friends, ranching, surveying, and taking care of those in the nursing home. Robbie was a member of St. Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic Church, the Vale Township Board, the Knights of Columbus, and the Philip American Legion and both the Fairpoint and Vale fire depart- ments. He is survived by his wife, Paula, Vale; his children, Julie (Scott) Wheeler, Sundance, Wyo., Will (Misty) Reedy, Vale, Christy (Darrin) Jons, Pierre, Mary Reedy, Rapid City, Anna (Chris) Skeen, Pine Haven, Wyo., Meghan Reedy, Camp Crook, and Joseph Reedy, Chadron, Neb.; his mother, Emilie Reedy, Philip; two sisters, Mary Kay Sandal and Joann (Lester) Pearson of Philip; one brother, Mike, of Colorado; and eight grandchildren, Tori, Brit, Peter, Josie, Emilie, Mathew, Bailey and Cooper. He was preceded in death by his father, John, and two brothers, Richard and Joseph Reedy. Robbie was a wonderful hus- band, father and friend. He will be greatly missed.

I can carry full cups of coffee around at a goodly rate of speed without spilling them. Well, er, usually I can. Sometimes I may slop a little if I try to go through a door while carrying something in addition to the coffee. Going through both the front door and the screen door can be problematic as well. Still, I have fairly good liquid-carrying skills. As you go through life, if you dont watch out, youre apt to gain skills at this and that (like coffee- carrying) from jobs or experiences you happen to have. Take cooking, for example. Ive always cooked some so as to avoid starvation when left to my own devices. I learned quite a bit more about it, though, when I took up trying to feed the wife, son and some ranch guys in addition to myself. As it happened, we decided many years ago to home-school son Chance, and wife Corinne wasnt sure she could both teach and cook. The cooking was known to take quite a bit of time, especially on those days the men came for dinner which they did fairly often. As a re- sult, I volunteered for kitchen duty. This was fine, but I had to stretch my meager skills some- what to avoid serving the same fare every day and also to accom- modate some food sensitivities plus likes and dislikes. I basically can and do eat almost everything without much trouble, but this doesnt hold true for everyone. Anyway, through doing it, I learned to cook a varied menu. Whats more, I tend to get carried away with any project I take on so I learned a lot more than strictly necessary through my fondness for experimentation. Some experi- ments came out nicely and others not so much. Scones were not a major success. Even the dog wouldnt eat them. He buried them instead. Tacos, on the other hand, turned out well including making the shells from scratch. We have eaten a lot of those. I have also invented various menu items and desserts although often from goofing up and trying to correct matters. Take the chocolate cherry meringue cake I came up with through accidentally adding too much sugar when trying to make an angel-food cake. After cogitating over that mistake a bit, I decided to add some cocoa and chopped cherries and see what happened. It turned out very well indeed, and I still make it from time to time. I had to call it a meringue cake because adding too much sugar to egg whites gives you meringue, not angel food, but thats no big deal. The other day, though, I messed up making that cake by setting the oven to 275 degrees instead of 325. I didnt notice the error until after Id taken the pan out and turned it upside down to cool. The cake then fell out of the tin so something was obviously wrongnamely it was badly undercooked. Taking a hint from how you warm up French bread (according to the bread wrapper,) I cranked the oven up to 400 degrees and threw the confec- tion back in the oven for ten min- utes although I wasnt at all sure how that would come out. Luckily it worked, and the cake was saved. Alas, the learning curve is somewhat bent in areas where you may have experience but little ap- titude. Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical matters pop to mind. Ive had to do some of all of those through necessity, but Im not a fast learner. Basic stuff I can do through hard work and sweat, but, if things get complicated, I call for help. Carpentry is a little easier but still not my best suit. Then, too, if you live long enough, some of the things youve learned become obsolete. Take car engines, for example. I know a lit- tle about carburetors but nothing about fuel injection. Electrical sys- tems on modern cars are com- pletely beyond me. You have to have complicated electronic gear to figure out what is wrong, and Im not really interested in learning that. Similarly, through great ef- fort, I learned to develop photo- graphic film and make both color and black-and-white prints from negatives. Now, thanks to the dig- ital revolution, you can barely buy film anymore. Thats okay, how- ever. I dont miss all those smelly chemicals and the tedium involved with using them. Digital cameras are great and computer printing just fine. At the moment, though, I am a little short on my coffee consump- tion for the day. Id better correct that and maybe take some black liquid out onto the deck to drink. That is not a problem. Im pretty good at carrying coffee around. Maybe, too, Ill take my digital camera along and try to capture the sunset, which seems to be shaping up nicely. Life goes on. Live and learn. (By the way, opinions vary. Corinne has a lower opinion of my coffee-carrying skills than I do. Something about spots on the floor.) Learning Curve Lookin Around by Syd Iwan John and Jo Rodgers have pur- chased the Belvidere Store. They hope to reopen it after the first of the year and offer gas and some groceries. They are working to get things organized and set up. On Sunday, Jo and Jory attended St. Peter Lutheran Church north of old Stamford and then stayed on for Jory to attend confirmation classes. Jo continues to float some with her post office work and worked a couple days in Belvidere last week. Jory hurt his elbow so is sidelined at the moment from wrestling. He hopes to be back at it later this week. John said the Na- tional Final Rodeo starts on Thurs- day, and they are planning to have that on the TV at JRs since a lot of local folks like to keep close tabs on that. Mary Johnston helped with re- lease time on Wednesday in Kadoka. After that, she picked up nursing home and the two went for pie and coffee at Jiggers. The bank sends a gift certificate to each of them on their birthdays every year for pie and coffee, so, for many years, Kate and Mary have saved their certificates until they can go out together to redeem them. After having a good visit at the caf, Kate accompanied Mary to the grocery store and found a few more people to visit with there. Glenn Freeman is just starting to get recovered from knee-replace- ment surgery earlier this year only to find out his other knee needs work. That one was replaced in the mid-nineties, but an examination showed something is coming loose and needs repair. Glenn has some of these medical exams and work done through the VA. Sarah DeVries of Rapid City vis- ited her dad, Tom DeVries, in Belvidere this weekend. On Satur- day, the two attended the Christ- mas musical in Kadoka, in part because sister/daughter, Trisha Bork, was accompanying that pro- duction which lasted about an hour and a half. It was apparently an enjoyable performance. On Sunday, they walked across the street for church. Sarah does freelance writ- ing in Rapid City which gives her some flexibility as to time so she can go places when she wants to. Tojo Osborn has been spending some time at Ocoma where he has been helping Roland Hickey with his well-drilling business. Since Tojo is no longer tied to any one business, he has been traveling here and there staying with family and visiting whenever he feels like it. On Sunday, he was clearing some of his things out of the Belvidere Store since that has now been sold to John and Jo Rodgers. Nikki Bonenberger and kids, MaKaylan and McCoy, drove to Sioux Falls/Brandon on Friday. They attended a basketball game in which Nikkis nephew, her sis- ters son, took part. They also watched a niece (Bretts sisters daughter) doing some gymnastics, cheerleading and dancing routines. The kids had quite a good time al- though it tired them out and they were napping some on Sunday. The Bonenbergers acquired a pet goose named Goose-Goose recently from a friend in Kadoka. This seems to be a friendly fowl that the kids enjoy. It hangs out with the ducks but not so much with the chickens. Nikki said they have enough chick- ens to supply their own needs plus a bit more. She made some pickled eggs this week to use up some ex- cess eggs. Nikki also mentioned that they still have some goldfish in their stock tanks although they thought they didnt for a while. They just can sometimes be hard to see. Frank Carlson and Toni Romero plus kids, Sage and Stetson, drove to Nisland on Saturday to visit Franks brother, Jesse, and family. They got in quite a bit of roping practice while they were there. On the way home on Sunday, Frank said the temperatures were a little scary for December since they were still about 65 degrees at 5:00 p.m. He said he was enjoying the pleas- ant weather but just found it un- usual for this time of year. Charlene Ceniceros and her granddaughter, Charlene Romero, with her husband, Daryl, and kids went to Pierre the day before Thanksgiving. They did some shop- ping and eating. Thanksgiving was enjoyed at home and was cooked by the younger Charlene. Randy Pe- ters and Tommy Anderson came over to enjoy the meal with them. Bunny Green continues to stay with her granddaughter in Ft. Pierre for now. According to Wally Wells, she will celebrate her 93rd birthday on Wednesday. Her ad- dress is PO Box 81, Ft. Pierre, SD 57532. There is no greater treasure than a good friend. Congratulations to Rebekkah Kary who recently was among four youth who represented Kadoka Area High School at the Augustana Band Festival held in Sioux Falls. Rebeckkah was a member of the gold band conducted by Dr. Paul Schilf of Augustana College. Stu- dents from North Dakota, Min- nesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota took part in the concert. Rebeckkah is the daughter of Ace and Edna Kary and the grand- daughter of Jean Kary all of Nor- ris. Monday, Andrea Beckwith vis- ited a bit with Maxine Allard. June Ring and her son, Bruce Ring, attended the memorial serv- ices held for Pastor Bob Utecht in Spearfish on Wednesday. Pastor Bob was known best for his Lutheran Puppet Place at the South Dakota State Fair. He was a firm believer that the Bible and cookies should be given together. Children of all ages loved him for doing it too. May the Lord bless the memory of Pastor Bob Utecht. Pas- tor Bob Utecht is the father of Rev. Andrew Utecht of Valentine, NE. Dan Taft and Morgan helped the Karys work cattle on Friday. Friday evening, Marty and Sue Larson of Rapid City and Julie Letellier of Kilgore arrived at the James Letellier home. Saturday morning the group headed for the annual benefit auction held at Sun- shine Bible Academy near Miller. Marty, Sue and Julie stopped at the wrestling tourney held in Kim- ball to cheer on their nephew, DJ Beckwith, before coming on to the auction. It is the biggest fundraiser for the school and the Letelliers en- joyed having all four of their girls and families there. It is a real fun time. Dan and Susan Taft conducted business in Martin on Saturday and visited in the home of her par- ents, Alvin and Judy Simmons. School News: Parent/Teacher conferences were held last Wednesday. On Monday the final class for the DARE program was held, so graduation will be held soon for the students involved. DARE is the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program used in the schools. The students are practicing for the Christmas program which is slated for December 13 at 2:00 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend- come and enjoy the afternoon. ~~~~~ June Ring was among the many relatives and friends helping Braedan Huber celebrate his sev- enth birthday on Saturday. The birthday party was held at his home and hosted by his parents, David and Nicole Huber. The children have started prac- ticing on Sunday for the Christmas Eve program to be held at St. John Lutheran Church. The Ladies Aid Lutheran Womens Missionary League Christmas Tea will be held at St. John Lutheran Church base- ment on this Thursday, December 6. Singing, games, devotions and tasting tea are planned for the day. Come and start the Christmas sea- son. Sunday afternoon the Norris Township Hall was the scene of a Wopila (Thankful) dinner. The big community feast was hosted by the Oleta and Rodney Mednansky fam- ily, Justin and Dena Mednansky family, Richard Mednansky family, John and Kris WoodenKnife family, Leland and Iris Bear Heels family and Verdell and Keith Horse Look- ing family. The dinner was given to show appreciation and thanks to God for the many blessings they enjoyed the past year. The kids Bible Club will con- tinue to meet at the Blackpipe Community Building on Thursday after school. Ken and Karen Toews with American Missionary Fellow- ship plan a lesson, craft, games and treats each week. Everyone is wel- come to come. Susan Taft and Morgan went to Philip on Sunday and enjoyed tak- ing in the Marie Hansen sale. It was a wonderful sale for collectors of everything from dolls to dishes. Everything exciting is happen- ing at once around here. December not only means Christmas is just around the corner, but theres pro- grams, teas, reunions, craft shows, etc. and all that goes with it. It also means the beginning of basketball season. We have open gym here in Norris on the weekends. The guys are working hard to be ready to de- fend their 2012 State Champi- onship title for White River. We, the cheering crowd, can hardly wait for the games to begin. Our guys proved they are true athletes by just completing a terrific football season, too. They work real hard at any game they play, but basketball is not just a game here, it is a way of life. We love it! It is a real thrill to welcome Tim and Tammy Merchen to the coun- try. The Merchens have just moved into the ranch house (where Tim grew up), here at Norris over Thanksgiving week. Young people and their enthusiasm is what keeps this country going. Anytime a couple moves back home it is a big step forward for our commu- nity. Although, Tim, Tammy, Ty and Taylor sold their home in Kadoka to move to the ranch; the kids will continue to attend Kadoka Area High School and Tammy is at the Main Street Salon on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day. It is so exciting to be able to say; Ty and Taylor are the fourth generation of Merchens to call Nor- ris home. Harry and Jeanne Merchen vis- ited at the ranch last weekend to see the changes that have been made to the house, painting, etc. The Merchens plan to leave on Monday for Arizona for the winter. house! or I bought a car! She speaks of her family very fondly. Dorothys dad and brother decided to build the very first housetop Christmas decoration in Water- town, which had reindeer and as Dorothy says it, Santee Claus. She said the people would drive by car after car after car. Also in history, Dorothy recalls the end of World War I. They were living in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan and bells & whistles started to blare out on the streets signifying the war was over! People were chanting, The war is over! The war is over! With only a few remaining rela- tives, she and Stanley Beal, her younger cousin, at the age of 92, who lives in Minnesota still corre- spond by mail. Nearing the end of this inter- view in her room at Jenkins Living Center, Dorothy looked up and said, Every morning, I wake up and think Im still here! The Century Club is a creation of the South Dakota Health Care Association and has recognized over 1,000 South Dakotans since its beginning in 1997. Century Club sponsors created the Club to recognize both the contributions and the years of these special indi- viduals. The Century Club is as its name statesa Club. Therefore, there may be older people in the state that have not yet been in- ducted by a family member or loved one into the Century Club. The Century Club is open to res- idents of South Dakota upon the celebration of his or her 100thbirthday. There are no dues and every inductee receives a spe- cially designed certificate and membership card signed by spon- sors. Once a year, the current old- est living Century Club Member is recognized as the Centenarian of the Year. Submit names for the Century Club by visiting www.sdhca.org and downloading a Century Club Application or call LuAnn Severson, Century Club Co- ordinator, at 1-800-952-3052. The South Dakota Century Club is honored to have just received an application form Dorothy Antritter of Watertown, age 108, which now makes her the oldest resident in the Club! After the recent an- nouncement of Beryl Kapaun pass- ing, who was the Century Clubs oldest resident, friends stepped for- ward and filed an application form to induct Dorothy into the Club. Dorothy, the daughter and last surviving child of Charlie and Louise (Pfefferle) Antritter, was born November 25, 1904, in Round Lake, Minnesota. Dorothys father emigrated from Germany in 1885 when he was 8; her mother at the age of 5. Dorothy remembers her family singing German songs, some of which Dorothy will still sing when asked. For six years, the Antritter Fam- ily lived in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Dorothy said that she had to take 2nd and 3rd grades twice because the U.S. education system was behind. But, she also noted, that upon return to the states, she skipped the eighth grade! She says, I never took 8th grade! Dorothy was also on the Water- town Arrow Basketball Team and when asked if she was good she replies, Well, I was the tallest and wore a size 11 shoe! They only played against classes in their school, seniors against juniors. Which meant she played against her sister, Ruby, who was one year older and passed away over a year ago at 108. Remembering her school days, Dorothy still recalls the high school she attended being across the street from where she resides today. Dorothy worked for Alan Austin as a legal secretary for many, many years and retired in 1967. In re- sponse to how well she did her job. Dorothy responded, I was good! I was the highest paid secretary in the office! My paycheck was $50/month. When asked what she did, I pounded the typewriter just like any other secretary, but I had to do shorthand first. She has never used a computer but recalls the first time she used an electric typewriter - it scared her to death because it went so fast and jumped right out at her. Dorothy exclaims, I walked to work, back and forth from lunch and home again, ten blocks one way! Do you think any- one does that today? Dorothys family was a very close-knit unit. When a trip was to be taken, they all went, Mom, Dad, and all three kids. Sometimes they were even gone for months at a time. She has traveled to every state with the exception of Hawaii since she has never flown in her life time. Looking off into the distance, Dorothy said, I wish I could travel again. You see a lot of things when you travel by bus. She recalls many occasions where her dad would come home one day and say, I bought a Century Club announces its oldest living South Dakotan Home: (605) 837-2945 Cell: (605) 381-5568 Excavation work of ALL types!

Shirley and Orville Josserand took Coleen and Matt McHolland and Lindsey Davila to the airport in Rapid City on Wednesday of last week. They were traveling to Fall- brook, CA, where Matt and Coleen will spend a couple months before returning to their home in South Dakota and Lindsey will make her home there during the winter months. Wilma Stout is still recouperat- ing and doing therapy in Philip after her hip replacement surgery earlier in November. She was to see her surgeon on Tuesday and hope- fully can return home soon. Larry and Rose Ann Jones of North Valentine, SD, were Sunday visitors of Jim, Robyn, Tyler and Tanner Jones. Larry and Rose Ann are Jims parents. Beth Boersma and Marjorie Jef- fords of Rapid City attended the fu- neral of Polly Kujawa on Wednesday of last week. They had lunch with Wanda Swan before re- turning home. On Saturday Wanda accompanied Larry Miller to Springview, NE, where she spent the day with Buss and Shirley Swan. Larry drove on to Ainsworth and winterized his late mothers home, before he and Wanda re- turned to Kadoka that evening. Family and friends attended Patti Pattersons 80th birthday party on Sunday at the community room of the Gateway Apartments. Her sister and brother-in-law from Rapid City were among relatives at the event. Joe and Kathleen Leutenegger and Shawna Bendt attended the West River Trunk Show at the Ar- mory in Sturgis on Sunday after- noon. Miss South Dakota, Calista Kirby, showed ten outfits that she will be wearing in the Miss Amer- ica Pageant next month in Las Vegas. She gave both West River and East River residents a sneak peek at the pageant wardrobe at two different events. Calista is the granddaughter of the Leuteneggers and Shawnas niece. Bruce and Virginia Conlee of Black Hawk and Dean and Mary Antonsen of Rapid City drove to Kadoka on Wednesday of last week to attend the funeral of Polly Ku- jawa. Dean and Mary have recently moved into an apartment in the Fountain Springs Complex from their home in Black Hawk. Jerry Stilwell is scheduled to be released from Rapid City Regional Hospital this week. Jerry has been hospitalized since October 4 and will finish his recovery at home. Kadoka and the State of South Dakota has been enjoying warm December weather. Sundays tem- perature hit over 70 degrees in sev- eral cities in the state. There has been little moisture for months, but maybe next week some snow will be on the horizon. The nice weather has been great for everyone who is putting up Christmas decorations. tail operations in South Dakota. But if you buy your iPod from Ama- zon.com, you dont pay sales tax simply because Amazon has no warehouse or other physical loca- tion in South Dakota. Heres an even worse example: A customer can walk into a South Dakota business, browse the mer- chandise, talk to the salesman, then pull out his smartphone, scan the barcode, and order the product from an online retailer while standing in the store! Like most South Dakotans, I do not support raising tax rates. How- ever, I do support equity and uni- formity among those who make sales to South Dakotans. If South Dakota retailers have to pay sales taxes, their competitors online should as well. This is not a new tax it is asking online retailers to pay the tax that is already legally due on these sales. We should be constantly striving to add more taxpayers, not adding more taxes or increasing tax rates. Whether by adding online retailers to the tax rolls, encouraging busi- ness growth or getting unemployed folks back to work, we should strive to achieve a broad, stable tax base. Online shopping has given every South Dakotan access to more goods and services than ever be- fore, if they are willing to pay for shipping. There is nothing wrong with this. We should not, however, disadvantage our local retailers or our state budget by allowing out-of- state online businesses to avoid paying sales tax. We need Congress to act, and I support Congressional efforts to simplify and standardize remit- tance of sales taxes collected from online purchases. It creates an even playing field for our local busi- nesses and increases tax revenues the right way- by adding more tax- payers, not more taxes or higher rates. The days following Thanksgiv- ing are widely known for launching the Christmas shopping season, as retailer specials draw crowds of shoppers. The shopping days have become so ingrained in our Ameri- can culture they have earned their own nicknames: Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday (November 26) was the date on which online re- tailers offered large discounts and dramatically boosted their sales. Each year, Cyber Monday sets a new record for money spent online in a single day. This year was no different, with some analysts esti- mating more than $1.5 billion dol- lars spent during the 24-hour period. I expect the trend held true in South Dakota as well. The 2012 Cyber Monday gift-buying binge also likely broke another record: most purchases made in South Dakota without paying sales tax. Currently, only businesses with a substantial nexus or physical presence in South Dakota must col- lect sales tax on goods purchased online. Out-of-state retailers, who are not physically located in South Dakota, have no such obligation. The current system doesnt make sense, and it even discriminates among online purchases. If you buy a new iPod at your local retailer, you pay the sales tax. If you buy it online at BestBuy.com or Wal- Mart.com, you pay the sales tax, because those businesses have re- More taxpayers, NOT more taxes Gov. Dennis Daugaard Be watching for some pink flamingos wearing Santa hats to be landing in a yard near you as the Haakon/Jackson 4-H Jr. leader's are helping out the Ronald McDon- ald House in Sioux Falls. They are asking for your help to make a difference in the lives of those families that are affected by illness. The Ronald McDonald House Program provides a "Home Away From Home" for families with sick and injured children re- ceiving critical medical care. They provide stability, support, a home cooked meal, a place to stay at little to no cost, and let the family focus on getting their child healthy again. If you find a pink flamingo in your yard, you can call the number listed to have them moved. All we ask is that you donate one or more of the items on the Ronald McDon- ald House Wish List. These items can be dropped off at the Extension office in either the Haakon or Jack- son County Courthouses. Contact Nicki Nelson at 308-862-1051 or the Haakon County office at 859- 2840 for questions or more infor- mation. There are many items that they need to keep helping families in- cluding: food items fruit cups, granola bars and individual wrapped snacks, snack sized cere- als, chips, crackers, individual sized Jello and pudding snack cups, individual cans, bottles, or boxes of fruit juice, chunky & hearty soup, canned pasta and spaghettios, sugar and artificial sweeteners, cof- fee, coffee creamer, coffee regular sized filters, fruit snacks and roll ups, Hamburger Helper, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and paper plates; cleaning and sanitary items bathroom cleaning sup- plies, Playtex rubber gloves, paper towels, all sizes of Ziploc bags (es- pecially gallon), plastic wrap, alu- minum foil, dishwasher soap, liquid laundry soap, Windex and other multipurpose cleaners, disin- fecting wipes, antibacterial soaps and dry Swiffer pads; personal items toothpaste, toothbrushes, travel sized deodorant, pillow pro- tectors, towels (bath, hand and washclothes), and deep pocket, queen sized bedding.

Online Shopping Tips: Consumers using the internet to find the perfect gift should avoid using email links. These links can appear to be from a known busi- ness, when in fact they are coming from a different company alto- gether. Use credit cards for online pur- chases. If there is a problem with the purchase it is much easier to dispute the charges. Be leery of businesses who are offering deep discounts. If it sounds too good to true, then it likely is, so shop with reputable sellers. If you have any additional ques- tions, contact the Attorney Gen- erals Consumer Protection Office at 1-800-300-1986 or consumer- help@state.sd.us.

It was close, but Philip Area wrestlers brought home the team title from the Kimball/White Lake/- Platte-Geddes Invitational Wrest- ling Tournament last weekend in Kimball. The Scotties won the tournament by two points over Wagner 245 to 243. Head coach Matt Donnelly was pleased with how the team did, but he said he noticed areas that need improvement. Donnelly noted the teams younger wrestlers are doing well, but they need more mat time, more experience. Two Philip Area wrestlers were also given individual awards Lane Blasius was named Out- standing Wrestler and Paul Smi- ley was given the Pinner Award. Individually the wrestlers gar- nered two first place wins, six sec- ond place, three fifth place and one each in the third, fourth and six placings. Other team standings were 3rd Winner (225.5), 4th Mt. Vernon/ Plankinton/Corsica (101), 5th Miller/Highmore-Harrold (92), 6th Sunshine Bible Academy (91), 7th Kimball/ White Lake-Platte- Geddes (64), 8th Wessington Springs/Woonsocket /Wolsey-Wess- ington (45), 9th Ipswich/Leola (39), 10th Scotland (36), 11th Marion Freeman (31.5), 12th Andes Central (29).

Once the season is closed, an individual has 24 hours to notify GFP personnel of any untagged bobcats harvested during the sea- son. No person may possess, pur- chase, or sell raw bobcat pelts that are not legally tagged. GFP, in conjunction with South Dakota State University, is con- ducting research on bobcat car- casses to obtain important population and biological informa- tion. GFP is researching bobcats in several areas of South Dakota, said Wildlife Damage Program Ad- ministrator Keith Fisk.

As a result, car- casses minus the lower jaw -- may not be returned to hunters or trappers for several months. The evaluation project is ex- pected to last the entire season. This information is necessary for managing bobcats and will as- sist us in future management di- rection in South Dakota, Fisk said. For more information on the complete set of rules associated with trapping and shooting bob- cats, visit the GFP website http://gfp.sd.gov/hunting/trap- ping/default.aspx or contact a local wildlife conservation officer, wildlife damage specialist, or GFP Division of Wildlife office. With the 2012-13 bobcat season beginning on Dec. 8, Game, Fish and Parks officials remind hunters and trappers of several new re- quirements and opportunities. The first-ever bobcat season east of the Missouri River will run from Dec. 8 through Dec. 30. Only the counties of Buffalo, Brule, Charles Mix, Bon Homme, and Yankton are open. Hunters and trappers are re- stricted to one bobcat per person in those open counties. The bobcat season in all counties west of the Missouri River will open Dec. 8, 2012, and close on Feb. 15, 2013. There is no limit on bob- cats in West River counties. A South Dakota Furbearer License is required to hunt or trap bobcats and all bobcats must be checked and tagged by GFP personnel. All hunters and trappers who take bobcats are required to re- move the pelts from the carcasses GFP on upcoming bobcat season, requirements 4-H These are the youth who participated in the Haakon/Jackson 4-H Youth-In-Action Day on November 16 at Philip.

Consuming too much sugar, fat and calories can happen effort- lessly during the last two months of the year. It begins with consum- ing Halloween candy and finishes with eggnog and fruitcake. Studies show an average weight gain during the holidays of about 1 pound. Studies also show that people who are already overweight are more likely to gain five pounds or more during the holidays. It is possible to avoid adding extra pounds during the holiday season. You can enjoy special holiday foods without gaining the traditional holiday weight by making some simple changes. Balance what you eat with phys- ical activity to avoid gaining weight. You will gain weight if you eat more calories than you burn. Physical activity helps boost your energy level so you can be more productive during the holidays. It also helps you to obtain a better quality of sleep and releases emo- tional tension. One hour of walk- ing at a moderate pace can burn about 225 calories. Consider doing some type of aerobic exercise every day to get your metabolism going and elevated for up to 24 hours. Holiday stress leaves many of us reaching for our favorite home- made goodies. Chemical reactions take place when we are stressed that cause us to want to eat. The result is a temporary feeling of comfort and joy that makes us want to eat more. Another item that is also consumed during stressful times is caffeine. It pro- vides short term energy, but too much may prevent good sleep and without proper rest its hard to ac- complish everything we need to and the stress continues. Here are some helpful tips for eating sensibly at holiday parties and gatherings. Never go to a party hungry. Stick to a regular eating schedule. Skipping meals lowers blood sugar levels and causes you to overeat the rest of the day to make up for missed calories. Take your own low-calo- rie food to the party to replace high-fat items like cheese and crackers. Good choices include bite-size fruit or veggies and a low- calorie dip. Use a small plate so that it looks full. Fill up on healthy calories first. Fill half your plate with fruit and vegeta- bles, one quarter of your plate with protein and one quarter with car- bohydrates. Choose complex carbo- hydrates such as whole grains, whole-wheat pasta, oatmeal, legumes and sweet potatoes. They help you maintain a steady metabolism without the highs and lows of blood sugar swings. Be- fore going back for seconds, wait 20 minutesit takes that long for your stomach to tell your brain that youre full. Dont drink your calories. Con- sume alcohol in moderation and keep in mind that it can increase your appetite. Eggnog is a holiday favorite but a non-alcoholic, 8- ounce serving made with whole milk has 342 calories and 19 grams of fat. Add alcohol to the eggnog and the calories increase to nearly 450 calories. Modify the recipes of some of your favorite holiday foods to re- duce the fat, sugar and salt and add fiber. Generally the total fat in recipes can be reduced by one- third. For recipes such as brown- ies, cakes and baked breads that call for 1 cup of oil, you can replace 1/2 cup of the oil with 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce. How many calories do you think you consume by taking only a few tastes through the day? Here are a few examples: Cant pass up the eggnog so you decide to have only a 1/2 of a cup (4 ounces)? That equals 200 calories. Cant pass up the candy tray at church and de- cide on a chocolate-covered cherry? That equals 60 calories. Decide to eat less than half of the cookie that you accidently broke when re- moving it from the baking sheet? That equals 30 calories. Choose to eat one more dipped chip before moving away from the buffet table? That equals 75 calories. You can have a one-pound weight gain every time you consume 3,500 calories above what your body needs. Avoid overeating during the hol- iday to elude that promise that youll go on a diet after the New Year.

Ann Schwader, Nutrition Field Specialist SDSU Extension-Winner Regional Extension Center Condition of the Winter Wheat Crop The fall of 2012 has been a chal- lenge for South Dakotas winter wheat producers as they faced very dry soil conditions to plant into. During the week of November 25, 2012, 64 percent of winter wheat in South Dakota was rated in poor or very poor condition. This rating was the worst of any state in the primary winter wheat growing re- gion. The quick development of se- vere to exceptional drought, ac- cording to the U.S. Drought M o n i t o r (http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/), has affected much of the wheat producing areas of the US. The winter wheat crop conditions in the central US has affected the na- tional rating, which is now at its lowest level since records of this type began in 1986. The South Dakota Weekly Crop Weather Report, published by the National Agricultural Statistics Service puts the hard red winter wheat of South Dakota at 60 per- cent emerged as of 25 November. Other states have significantly better ratings, both in condition and percent emerged. Some people believe the report of 60 percent of winter wheat emerged seems high. The NASS crop progress estimates are based on a subjective opinion survey of county officials, which are not claimed to be statistically accurate. The important fact is that even if the figure is high, 60% is the lowest percent of winter wheat emerged by late November in South Dakota since at least 1990. One other fall that stands out with a low percentage of win- ter wheat emergence in South Dakota was 2000, when 74% of the crop was reported emerged in No- vember. The statewide average yield in 2001 was 32 Bu/acre, which tied for the 2nd and 3rd low- est yield since 1990. It is not advis- able to make yield predictions for the 2013 cropping season based on this however. Many areas where winter wheat was planted into dry soil have received small amounts of moisture via rain and/or snow. This limited moisture has caused some of the wheat to sprout, but little has actually emerged to a sig- nificant degree. These seedlings have used energy reserves from the seed, and have not been able to generate photosynthetic activity and develop crowns to store energy for winter survival. Without addi- tional moisture, the sprouted seedlings may dry out and die. Dry soil cools off more quickly and will get colder than soil with adequate moisture, if low air tem- peratures occur without snow for insulation. This potential exposure to low temperatures could con- tribute to significant winterkill for a crop in marginal condition. Mois- ture in the form of either rain or snow would improve the condition of the crop and chances for its sur- vival. However prospects for mois- ture dont look good. Producers may want to wait be- fore making decisions such as fer- tilizing until they have a better handle on the potential of the crop. As spring approaches, winter wheat growers will want to assess the condition of the crop. If the crop is insured, producers should contact their crop insurance agent Winner Regional Extension Center Bob Fanning, Plant Pathology Field Specialist 605-842-1267 before taking steps to terminate the crop and initiate alternative plans. The good news is that if the crop survives, it is almost certain that the plants will vernalize and pro- duce a seed head. All that is neces- sary for the winter wheat plants to vernalize is for the kernel to take on moisture and swell, and go through a period of about 3 weeks at about 40 degrees or lower. It is almost unheard of for winter wheat planted in the fall in South Dakota to not complete that process. It is well known among producers that wheat, particularly winter wheat, is a tough crop and can surprise you with its resiliency. For more information, visit http://igrow.org/agronomy/wheat/. Calendar 12/11/2012: Soil Health Info Day- Davison County Extension Complex, Mitchell, SD The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Commission has pro- posed a slight reduction in licenses for the 2013 Spring Prairie Turkey Season. The commission has recom- mended a reduction in one-tag male turkey licenses by 105 and reduce the two-tag any turkey li- censes by 200 compared to 2012. The commission also is propos- ing 10 resident archery turkey li- censees for the Blood Run Nature Area and 10 resident archery li- censees to hunt at the Adams Homestead and Nature Preserve through the issuance of access per- mits via a lottery drawing. A modification of the spring unit boundaries for the Black Hills and 49A to be consistent with the fall turkey unit boundaries was also proposed. The proposals will be finalized at the Dec. 6-7 GFP meeting at the Pierre Ramkota. To comment, email wild.info@state.sd.us with your name and city. You can also com- ment in person at the December meeting. Proposals will begin at 2 p.m., CST on Thursday, Dec. 6.
