daughters.Before coming to Kadoka, the

couple lived and worked in Pierre,South Dakota. Jessi will continueto work as the business managerfor Stanley County School until theend of June, and Brian, who is a li-censed plumber, worked for a com-pany that installed heating andplumbing in schools, and variousbusinesses. He has built Wal-Martsand recently installed a new heat-ing system in the TimberlakeSchool.

Brian and Jessi have many newideas and plans for their new busi-

ness. The new business will becalled Fromm’s Hardware andPlumbing. Brian is a licensed con-tract plumber. He looks forward toserving the needs of their cus-tomers.

One major change will be a resetof the store. The couple will beworking with the Stars Programthrough United which is the maindistributor for Hardware Hank.

The Stars Program will assistthem by going over the inventory inthe store and advising them as towhat they really need in the store.The program will instruct Brianand Jessi as to where certain itemsshould be displayed in the store.Once this is done, a reset of thestore will be done. They anticipatesthat the entire reset should be fin-ished by the end of August.

Another exciting addition totheir business will be the new paintsystem. The system will be a com-puterized system that can scan anycolor swatch whether it is a piece ofclothing, material, or any thingelse as long as the item to bescanned is at least the size of anickel. This system will givepainters a more accurate colormatch for their projects.

Along with Joy Schmidt andDiane Hogen, Fromm’s would alsolike to welcome Hayli Mayfield totheir store. These ladies have beenbusy making up Mother’s Day bas-kets and displaying some of thenew items in the store. Jessi’smom, Sheryl Bouman, will be dis-playing some of her hand craftedfurniture within the store as well.

With all the changes takingplace, the one thing Brian andJessi would like their customers toknow is that they are dedicated toserving their customers and alltheir needs. So, the next time yourin town or passing by take a mo-ment to say “Hi” and welcomeBrian and Jessi to the community.

With spring upon us, we wel-come all the possibilities of whatlies ahead. A new beginning bringswith it a sense of renewed hope forthe upcoming future. This sameidea can be seen on Main Street inKadoka.

May 1 brought a new beginningfor one young couple and the localhardware store here in Kadoka.Brian and Jessi Fromm officiallytook over as the new owners of theHardware Hank store. Brian andJessi are the daughter and son-in-law of Bill and Sheryl Bouman ofKadoka. The couple also have two

On Wednesday, May 1 theKadoka Area Fourth graders hadtheir annual Pioneer Supper withover 250 people in attendance. Thesupper was served by the fourthgrade students who were dressedas pioneers. The parents alsohelped to make sure everythingran smoothly. The bars and corn-bread were donated by parents andAmy Smiley and her studentsmade the chili.

Fireman Dave Ohrtman playedthe 911 call over the loudspeaker togive students an idea what an ac-tual 911 call would sound like as itcame across the radio. First re-sponders arrived on the scene min-utes after receiving the call.

Mr. Ohrtman commentated

while the EMTs and fire depart-ment worked on aiding the crashvictims. Jackson County DeputySheriff Dallas Kendrick talked tothe students about the conse-quences that could occur if thiswere a real-life situation.

The Jackson County Sheriff ’sDepartment, Kadoka Ambulanceand Kadoka Fire Departmentstaged the event to remind stu-dents and thecommunity theimportant roleour EMT’s and

Fire Departments play in keepingour community safe. They alsowanted to remind parents, grand-parents and caregivers about theimportance to talk with their teento reinforce teen driving laws, andto set their own family drivingrules.

“Mock crashes are a dramaticpresentation to educate teenagersabout the true consequences ofpoor driving decisions,” said EMTJackie Stilwell.

“When students see their friendsand peers injured, carried out andloaded into an ambulance, and an-other being covered with a blanketbecause they died from their in-juries, it hits home. It’s a strongmessage that aims to influencetheir driving choices, especially atsuch a potentially dangerous timeon the road.”

The Sheriff ’s Department,Kadoka Ambulance and KadokaFire Department are urging par-ents to talk to their teen about thedangers and consequences of un-derage drinking, texting and driv-ing and encourage them to alwaysbuckle up to keep them safe.

Parents should also reinforceteen driving laws such as belt use,passenger limitations, nighttimedriving, no cell phone use and notexting (including when stopped intraffic).

It is so important that parentstalk to their teen drivers and estab-lish rules for the road. Just becausea teen has their license does notmean they are experienced, safedrivers. Parents must stay in-volved with a teen’s driving just asthey do with their grades, athleticsand other activities.

Read 1 Peter 1:22If we responded simply out of natural impulses, we

would probably be nice when people were kind. At othertimes, though, we’d most likely be vengeful, angry, orhurtful.

Yet Jesus clearly teaches us to love even when the people around us seem unlovable. And He lived outwhat He taught: Christ loved us enough to die for us while we were still sinners (Rom. 5:8). Surely, byacting out of His strength and with gratitude for what He did, we—His followers—can love others (1John 3:14). While it can certainly be challenging to respond to unkindness with love, such godly behavior can leadto great blessing. First, the Father is pleased; this realization should bring His children joy, peace, and asense of accomplishment. Next, believers ought to feel excitement and anticipation to watch how Godwill move in the relationship. Finally, there will be an awareness that the Holy Spirit is working fromwithin, enabling divine love to flow through yielded human lives. John 13:35 tells of another important benefit: Jesus said, “By this all men will know that you are Mydisciples, if you have love for one another.” Since unconditional godly love is uncommon in our world,people will notice. Treating others the way that we want to be treated is what builds the deep, satisfying connectionsthat all people desire. Without significant relationships, life lacks meaning—regardless of how many pos-sessions or acquaintances we may have. So think about the people you come in contact with throughoutthe week. Are you treating them in the way that Jesus modeled?

Meals forthe Elderly

In growing up one of the out-standing things in my relationshipwith my mother had to do with hermemory. She could remembereverything. All I had to do was ask dear oldmom and she knew the answer.She knew everything. No matterthe topic, she had an opinion aboutit, which truly amazed me as ayoung person. Before I went to school, mymother was my entire world. Fromthe time I got up in the morninguntil she tucked me in bed atnight, she was the master of myworld. Whatever I could do, shewas the one who allowed me to doit. Looking back, I can rememberwhen my father got home fromwork in the evening he gave mymother a little break from lookingafter me and my brother and sis-ter. If memory serves me correctly,my father watched us by lying onthe couch snoring. I never couldfigure out how he could do that butit was his way of watching us andhelping mom. As a young person, anything Iwanted I had to requisition it fromdear old mom. The thing that al-ways amazed me was that she al-ways had what I needed. I haveoften wondered how she could dothat. But then, she was mom. My weekly allowance came frommy mother. It took me a long timeto realize the money for my al-lowance came from my father. I al-ways believe mom had all themoney there was. I remember coming home fromthe second grade with homeworkto do that just baffled me. All I hadto do was ask mom and she couldexplain it to me like nobody elsecould. Mothers are like that. They know everything and re-member everything. What mymother knew only my mothercould know. It was as if she couldread my mind. It was as if she hadeyes in the back of her head. It was so bad that I could notget away with anything. Believeme; I tried very hard to get awaywith something. For some reasonmy mother knew what I was goingto do days before I actuallythought about doing it. I am not sure who is creditedwith designing the first memoryboard for computers, but I knowwho designed the memory boardfor people. I firmly believe thatmothers were the first computerdesigned and wired by God. Whyin the world do you think they callit the "motherboard?" It is no acci-dent that they come up with thisterm. My mother had a tremendousmemory. This is the difference be-tween mothers and fathers. Moth-ers cannot forget anything andfathers cannot remember any-thing. Together they make an in-vincible team for raising children. It was not until I became ateenager that a little click devel-oped between my mother and me.

Oh for a memory like dear old mom's

I began to realize that my memorydid not always harmonize withhers on some issues. As I got older,the harmony was less and less. For example. My mother wouldtell me, "You must be home by 10o'clock." At least, that is what she saidshe told me after the fact. When Icame in at 11 o'clock, she remindedme of what she told me. For the lifeof me, I could not remember hertelling me to be home by 10 o'clock. "I told you to clean up yourroom." Searching my memory board, Icould not find any indication thatshe told me this. I am not sayingthat she did not; I am just sayingthat our memories did not coincideon a variety of issues when I be-came a teenager. What struck me about mymother was she could rememberconversation she had with methree years ago word for word. AsI get older, I began to doubt the ac-curacy of her memory. The prob-lem with that was, I had nomemory of anything and so I hadto rely upon her memory. Now that I am a parent, it is ap-parent to me that memory is arather funny thing. I am not surethat my mother was in this cate-gory, but my memory is of such anature that I can remember thingsthat never took place. Not onlythat, I can describe it in detail. As a teenager I remember com-ing into the room and my mothersitting there looking out the win-dow with a little smile on her face. "What are you thinking about?" She just looked at me, smiledand said, "Oh, I was just remem-bering some things." Then sheturned and looked out the windowagain and I left her to her memo-ries. In celebrating Mother's Day, Icannot help but think of the manywonderful memories each mothercherishes. Their children will al-ways be children. No matter howold their children get, they will al-ways be their little babies. Memory is a delightful thingand sometimes can be very selec-tive. I am sure, when a mother en-gages in the fine art of memory,they are all good memories. Solomon was probably thinkingabout his mother when he wrote,"Her children arise up, and call herblessed; her husband also, and hepraiseth her. Many daughtershave done virtuously, but thou ex-cellest them all" (Proverbs 31:28-29 KJV). You cannot put a price on a goodmemory.

Why does the US have the mostexpensive health care system inthe world? What is inflammation? Newways to turn off Inflammationhave revolutionized the treatmentof arthritis and other illnesses,which begs the question. Coming from the Latin words"into the flame," like what bonfiresitters observe the moth doing ona summer night, inflammation is anatural phenomenon that can beharmful and almost evil. But thereis much more to this story. During the summers of my firstfour years of medical school, I washonored to spend time with thedoctors of the Bartron Clinic inWatertown, where they generouslyprovided an educational experi-ence for me. I realize now at thatlevel of training, how little help Iwas to any of them, but how muchhelp their wisdom would eventu-ally be to me. One highlight on inflammationand the history of medicine camefrom pediatritian Dr. EbehardtHeinrichs. While we were examin-ing a young child with acutearthritis, he pointed out on herhands the four physical findingsfamously described by Celsus, a

Roman who lived at the time ofJesus. "These are the cardinalsigns of inflammation: "rubor"(redness,) "tumor" (swelling,)"calor" (heat,) and "dolor" (pain,)"he said. A red, swollen, hot, and painfuljoint is not the only medical condi-tion of inflammation I saw thoseWatertown summers. There wereabscesses, appendicitis, tonsillitis,meningitis and sinusitis, all indi-cating benefits of the inflamma-tory response, where invadinginfections were fought off by thebody's white-cell warriors. Also beneficial, we have recentlylearned that muscle growth comesas a result of a response to local-ized acute inflammation that fol-lows exercise. Other new studiesshow that low-intensity training,like walking, can reduce destruc-tive chronic inflammation. All-in-all, our bodies are protected andeven sculpted by the yin and yangof balanced and healthy inflamma-tion. But seeing that young girl witharthritis, I realized there can beharm resulting from inflammationrun amok. That summer in Water-town I also saw patients withasthma, poison ivy, psoriasis,Lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis;illnesses the result of too much in-flammation. Add to this, now we've learnedcertain cancers grow because of in-flammation. And now we havemedicine that can turn off smalland harmful targets of inflamma-tion: cooling crippling arthritis,soothing devastating rashes, andeven shrinking growing cancers. Rubor, tumor, calor, dolor... itcan be a bad and a good thing!

The moth into the flame

More than 31 municipal officialsrepresenting five cities gathered atthe South Dakota MunicipalLeague’s annual District 8 meet-ing, held in Murdo, Tuesday, April30. Yvonne Taylor, South DakotaMunicipal League executive direc-tor, spoke about the outcome of the2013 legislative session, and the ef-fect new laws will have on SouthDakota municipalities. Taylor alsodiscussed the direction and futureof the Municipal League and serv-ices offered to the municipalities. “More and more we are seeingthe need to get better informationout to the citizens and legislators.Municipal government provides avast array of services, and peopleneed to be informed of where theirtax dollars are going. This type ofeducation can only benefit munici-pal government. The taxpayers

would be very proud of their localgovernment if they were fullyaware of how much service a mu-nicipality provides at a relativelylow cost,” Taylor said. Paul Young, SDML president for2013 and Councilmember for thecity of Spearfish, was also on handto discuss his priorities for the cur-rent year as well as to conduct theelection of District 8 officers for theupcoming year. Others in atten-dance were representatives of var-ious state agencies and represent-atives of groups affiliated with themunicipal league.

I’ve become very adept in thelast month at stifling sneezes.There’s a good reason for that. If Isneeze, you see, my back goes intoa nasty spasm that tends to takemy breath away. In other words,I’ve been coping with one of thosetimes when the back decides to re-align itself or when some nervegets pinched. I don’t know exactlywhat happens, but the result is aneed for cautious movement forseveral weeks. This is usually afour to six week deal according topast experience, but it is usuallyworst the first week and thengradually subsides.

I haven’t had one of these backaffairs for several years now so Iguess it was time to sharpen mycoping skills. Back when I was inhigh school and college, I wouldsometimes get muscle spasms inmy neck. I really hated those sincethey tended to make me walkaround with my head held ratherstiffly and to one side. Muscle-re-laxant pills helped quite a bit, butI haven’t bothered with those thistime around. The back problem ismore a dull ache than an activepain except, of course, if I coughtoo hard, sneeze, or bend justwrong.

Anytime something hurts, youhave to learn, sometimes the hardway, how to act to keep the miseryat a minimum. With bad backs,you quickly realize that youshouldn’t just bend over and picksomething up off the floor. Instead,you might kneel down on one kneeto retrieve the item from way downthere. It often seems like you losehold of a lot more things whenpicking them up takes caution.Maybe you always drop lots ofstuff and don’t notice because youcan just lean over and retrieve itwithout much thought. On theother hand, maybe moving circum-spectly tends to make you klutzyso you drop more. Who knows? Inthe last week, I’m glad to say, I canagain just lean over and grab with-out much thought and maybe I canalso sneeze again without majorspasms, but I’m going to give thata bit more time before testing thewaters, so to speak. I know I cancough harder now without troublethan I could a month ago, butsneezes are a bit more extreme.

We humans, as you know, haveto learn how to cope with all sortsof things. I know several peoplewho always have some back painand have for years. Others havedifficulty with arthritis, gastricdistress, poor vision, bad joints,and what not. There are otherhard things to deal with as well

such as kids gone wrong or spousesthat act badly. Some people can’tescape addictions or adequatelysee what consequences some oftheir actions will have. There is noend of those matters we have tofight to keep them from taking usdown.

Son Chance, I’m sad to say, hashad more than his fair share of dif-ficulties to deal with. For starters,autism causes many problems. Inpart, that is because your sensesare all so extreme that one is bom-barded with too much input. Whenyour senses of hearing, sight,smell, touch and taste are too welldeveloped, the input is excessive.You have to learn how to blocksome of that and protect yourself.Chance has developed his defensesenough that he can still be a sweetguy and stay mostly happy, butsome of those defenses inhibitwhat he can do for himself. Heneeds a lot of care as a result. But,as I said, he’s a very nice fellow sohis parents don’t object to helpinghim live as good a life as possible.

On top of the autism, Chancealso has myasthenia gravis whichis a fairly nasty condition too. Inthis, the body produces antibodiesthat interfere with messages fromthe brain to the muscles and makeprolonged movement difficult.Even the medicines needed to keepmyasthenia under control causeproblems of their own such assores that take forever to heal.Still, we think an awful lot of ourson and will try to keep him withus as long as possible. Just watch-ing his constant but good-naturedstruggle is an inspiration to thoseof us who have so much less tocomplain about.

By the way, in case you some-time need to stifle a sneeze, here’swhat I’ve learned. The first line ofdefense is closing off the nostrilthat is starting to itch. This is doneby laying one finger aside of thenose like Santa Claus does in theold poem. He probably does that toprevent sneezes caused by all thesoot in the chimneys he’s poppingup and down in. If that doesn’tquite do it, simply quit breathingaltogether (briefly of course.) Afterthe itch subsides, you should prob-ably blow your nose to keep thingsunder control down the line. That’show it’s done.

Learning to Cope

Lookin’ Aroundby Syd Iwan

It’s official. Francie Davis is nowa college graduate, and she evenhas witnesses. The graduation cer-emony was held at Black HillsState in Spearfish on Saturday. Onhand to watch were Francie’s hus-band, Chad, and their three sons.Her dad and brother, Bob Fortuneand Les, were also there, as werefriends Terry Burns of Philip andNancy Jeter of Rapid City. Sincethere were about 450 graduates,the ceremony lasted well over twohours. Afterwards, Nancy Jeterand her husband hosted a recep-tion at their home in Rapid City.Francie started her college worksome years ago and, after an elevenyear break, decided to finish up.She probably won’t be attending alot of reunions, however, since shetook her courses this year over theInternet and not actually at the col-lege in Spearfish. As a result, sheknows few of her classmates. Fran-cie’s degree is called a “Bachelor ofGeneral Studies.” It is rather aloose description of the areas shehas studied with original emphaseson mass communication and Eng-lish education. More recently shehas concentrated on fine arts andsocial studies. She hasn’t taken alot of education courses that wouldmake it so she could teach schoollocally, but those can be taken, alsomostly online, if the need arises. Betty Kusick’s house got a powerwashing this week. That was cour-tesy of her daughter and son-in-law, Loretta and LawrenceSchreiber, of Quinn. It was inpreparation for a painting partywhich will probably take place thiscoming week and will involve vari-ous family members. On Sunday,Betty talked with her son, Harold,on the phone to help him celebratehis birthday. He is getting fairlyclose to sixty but isn’t quite there. Larry Grimme was visited thisweekend by Jim Terkildson of Wan-blee. Jim helped plow the green-house and garden areas inpreparation for planting. Larrybought some Early Girl tomatoplants recently when he was inYankton, but it’s a bit early to plantthem yet since the night-timetemps have been dropping into thelower twenties. He can plant a bitearlier in the greenhouse buthasn’t done that just yet. Dorothy Blom sent a messageover the Internet via E-mail to cor-rect an item in last week’s news.Dorothy’s birthday last week washer ninetieth and not her ninety-fifth. She did say she was thankfulthat she could still live in her ownhome and do her favorite thingslike gardening. Dorothy is also oneof the few of her generation thatuses a computer and keeps in touchwith people through it. She is evenon Facebook complete with pic-tures of her son, her flower beds,and some friends and relatives. Kolette Bitting continues towork on her new home at theranch. She moved there in Octoberand has been doing this and that toget settled in. With the coming ofspring, she hopes to get some dirthauled into her yard and leveledetc. She has no plans for a gardenthis year, but she has recently ac-quired eleven barred-rock baby

chicks that she hopes will eventu-ally provide eggs. She got thechicks courtesy of Cathy Irelandwho had ordered a bunch of chicksfor herself and just got a few extrafor Kolette. Cathy kept them withhers for a month so Kolette just gotthem a few days ago. The move wasnecessary since Cathy had orderedCornish Rock for butchering, andthose were already about threetimes as big as Kolette’s layers. Ko-lette said they are about done withcalving now but a few stragglers. Besides having 150 Cornish-rock chicks that will need butcher-ing before very long, Cathy andHowie Ireland are doing their nor-mal things. Howie has been run-ning mail for Sanftners for a whilenow, and Cathy has been runningthe kitchen at the nursing home inKadoka. Cathy said her gardenplans are uncertain as of yet al-though she will almost certainlyhave some tomatoes and cucum-bers. Night-time temperatures,drought, hoppers and such willhelp determine how much else isattempted and when. Les Huber continues to split histime between his places inBelvidere and Rapid City. In RapidCity, he has fourteen acres east oftown with Rapid Creek runningthrough it. On Sunday, he washanging some metal gates there ina fencing project. He has alsoplanted some little pine trees boththere and at Belvidere. They areabout four-feet tall. Back in Febru-ary and March, Les and crew spenttime in Williston, ND, in paintingan addition to the water-treatmentplant there. The oil boom in thatarea has increased the populationand the need for water. The wateris taken from the nearby MissouriRiver and purified. He said there isa lot of energy in the Williston areadue to all the oil workers and theexpansion so it is an interestingplace to be for a while. At present,Les has some painting projects inRapid City with some in Pierrecoming up. He does some truckingas well. He hopes to spend quite abit of time in Belvidere this sum-mer where he likes to tinker onequipment in his big shed and dothe other things he enjoys. Frank Carlson said the brand-ing season is now well underway.He helped John Solon with hisbranding at Weta this week andMansfields with theirs on Sunday.On Friday, he went to Ft. Pierre forCraig Mowry’s bull sale and camehome with three new bulls. Tonihad to work at the post office so shecouldn’t go along that day. Jim and Aaron Mansfield heldtheir branding on Sunday. Michellesaid they had an awesome crewand things went really well. Therewas quite a bit of cooking needed tofeed the 35 to 40 people who cameto help, and Fayola and Michellekept fairly busy all day with mealpreparation and cleanup.Michelle’s folks didn’t come forbranding this year as they often dosince they were in Atlanta at thetime visiting Michelle’s brother andfamily. Michelle has two moreweeks of school before summer va-cation. School is done on the 17thwith graduation will follow.

Arbor Day poem and poster winners

American Legion essay contest

In early spring the lifeless treesstart to rapidly grow

The many people carefully soapthem to keep away the hungry doe

We walk through the flowerymeadow

To see the fruit trees sproutingflowers

The bright red fruit that will beon the trees

Will be painfully sour

One famous person who plantedthese wonderful, towering treesIs the one and only adventurous

Johnny AppleseedHe faithfully planted tree seeds

in every treeless place

In honor of Arbor Day, KadokaArea fifth grade students submit-ted poems and posters to sharetheir ideas about the important im-pact trees have in our daily lives.

Taking top honors in the poemdivision was Cee Cee O’Daniel withher poem entitled “Early Spring.” In the poster division, KatieReddest received first place with

her poster entitled “Trees are Ter-rific … in Cities and Towns!”

Sewing his torn, buckskin bagwith brown, skinny lace

If it weren’t for him, everywherewould be treeless and slightly dim

With no sprouting trees to bemiraculously found

There would just be tons of tree-less, nonliving mounds

Though Johnny did not plantthem all

We can thoughtfully plant the restThen the plains will soon be green

and flourishing, the bestI guarantee that you will love

planting theseSo come help plant like Johnny

AppleseedAnd save the trees with me

Early SpringBy Cee Cee O’Daniel

--by Eve Patterson The freedom I take pleasure inthe most is the freedom to ownland. Without owning farm landhow would people produce grainsthat are used to make food? Ifeveryone grows food, there will beenough to eat. Farming Americansare like little ants helping eachother and working together. If we don’t own grass coveredlands, what would our livestockeat? Long ago the pilgrims pro-vided for their livestock. When thepilgrims came to the colonies, theyworked very hard to make Americaa great nation. The men did thefield and livestock work, while thewomen did the cooking, cleaning,and the house work. Sometimesthe women would also help themen in the fields. The NativeAmericans showed the pilgrimshow to grow crops and keep foodfresh over time. The pilgrims andthe Native Americans have givenus great ideas on which we canbuild and continue to provide forour great nation. The freedom to own land andgrow vegetables, will keep ourgreat nation healthy. If we don’tkeep our country healthy, we couldbecome a society that is lazy, fat,and lacks nutrition. We want to bea proud country. “Why would we want to ownland and do all the work? Whycan’t we eat junk food and be lazy?Why can’t we have slaves?” Fact:Abraham Lincoln made a lawagainst slavery. Fact: if we eat junkfood, we won’t be healthy andwould look like a very disappoint-ing country. If we don’t have anyland or work to do, what would wehave? What would we do otherthan be languid, gazing at the T.V.or consuming chips? Owning landand doing work is the freedom Ienjoy the most.

Veterans... The Apple of Our Eyeby Jessica Enders

We have adopted a soldier.We send him things.

I like to give him things.He helps save our lives.

They saved people from the war.Some are alive and some are not.

They helped people in the war.They helped build houses.

They saved our country.They protect the citizens.

Veterans protect our freedom.We celebrate veterans every day.

Veterans... The Apple of Our Eyeby Hudson Johnson

Fighting for freedom,On the ground in the air,In the water everywhere,

Keeping us safe.

Veterans are made of braveness For fighting for this world

For keeping us safe,Nothing can stop the United

States Forces.

I am glad they are fighting for meAnd thank them fighting for every

oneI would thank them for fighting

for meProud soldiers that fight for me.

Veterans... The Apple of Our Eyeby Fred Waters

Men and women dreamingabout it

My brother is gettingfit so he can join it,

The military that can be scary,Veterans are the apple of my eyes.

The military have to bebrave and strong,

They have to fight for us,Fight for our hope and freedom,

Fight for love of our country.

They will fight for our flag, They are so very brave,

That is why Veterans are,The apple of my eye.

--by Jade Hutchinson What freedom do I enjoy themost? What church do you wor-ship? Do you go to church everySunday? Do you like to sing atchurch? The freedom of religion isthe freedom I enjoy the most. I canattend the church of my choice ornot attend church at all. If I don’tlike a church I can travel and go toa different one. In our country, the governmentcan’t pay for a church because wehave separation of church and gov-ernment. If the government ranour churches everyone would haveto go to the church the governmenttold us too. Instead we can behappy with the churches we have.Also the government can’t favorone church over the others. If theydid, that church could get moneyfrom the government to help payfor that church. If one church gotmoney and the others didn’t, itwould not be fair. In the United States, the gov-ernment doesn’t build ourchurches, the people build thechurches. If the church are toosmall for all of its people, they canadd on or build a whole new churchwithout asking the governmentfirst. I love churches and I am glad wehave them in our country, becausethey are so special to me.

--by TJ HamarWhat freedom do I enjoy the most?Have you ever thought of the free-doms? I have. I will tell you aboutmy favorite freedom; the freedom ofspeech. The freedom of speech is allaround us. I like the freedom of speech be-cause you can say things about ourelected officials and you don’t getthrown in jail. In other countriesyou may not be able to disagreewith the government officials with-out getting in trouble. Many peoplethat do speak out and are put injail. I also like the freedom of speechbecause you can disagree withother people and ideas. You canvoice your opinions freely and youwon’t get in trouble. You also don’tget what you want all the time, butsometimes enough people agreewith your opinion and changes aremade. I like the freedom of speech be-cause you can choose to share yourideas or not. Sometimes I want toshare my ideas and sometimes Imay not. This is my choice, notsomeone else’s. We have many freedoms, but myfavorite freedom is the freedom ofspeech. What is yours?

--by Jarred Hicks What freedom do I enjoy themost? My favorite freedom is bear-ing arms. I like to have arms for en-tertainment, hunting, andprotection. My number one, favorite reasonfor owning a gun is to go out to thewide open South Dakota plains andhave fun trying to shoot the de-structive prairie dog. I said tryingbecause most of the time I can’t hitthe broad side of a barn. Just thinkyou’re bored, and instead of sittingin front of the T.V. roasting yourbrain, you could go and shoot tar-gets, varmints and have the besttime ever. My second reason for bearingarms is for hunting wildlife. Hunt-ing is really fun and takes place inthe great outdoors. You can fill your

tag and explore and have fun goingout in to the country. For exampleyou get two big mule deer rifle tagsand you can’t fill them without arifle. My final reason is for protectionof your home, family, and animals.Just stop and think, you’re walkingalong and you hear a rattle snakestart buzzing. You cautiously lookdown, and it is on the end of yourtoes. All you have to do is take acolt revolver pistol and shoot thescare the slimy thing. Guns hurt people. No, No, No,have you ever seen a gun jump offthe shelf, put a shell in, and shootat someone. That is why my favorite freedomin wide open Kadoka, SD, plains isbearing arms and I am proud of it.

HOSTA TrainingSDSU will be hosting 4 Haz-

ardous Occupation Safety Trainingin Agriculture (HOSTA) sessionsthis spring throughout SouthDakota.

HOSTA is a program whichaims to educate South Dakotayouth about the dangers associ-ated with working on a farm orranch. The law states that youth14 to 15 years old must completethe HOSTA training to work on afarm or ranch for anyone otherthan their parents. Youth who areemployed on their home farm ex-empt from the rule. When youthbecome 16 years of age, this law nolonger applies. Youth who areworking on their family farm arestill encouraged to attend.

Agricultural is the only industryin the U.S.A. that allows youthunder the age of 16 to be consid-ered a legal employee. That andthe fact that Farming/ranching isconsidered one of the ten mostdangerous jobs, it is evident thatwe must educate youth about dan-gers on farms and ranches for thesafety of themselves and others.The number one way to preventfarm accidents is by educatingabout possible dangers and givingstudents the knowledge to asses asituation for hazards. For this rea-son, all youth ages 14-16 arestrongly encouraged to attend.

Dates and locations of the train-ing will be:

Brookings on May 28 at 10:00a.m. in Ag Engineering building,room 125.

Aberdeen on May 29 at 10:30a.m. at the Aberdeen regional ex-tension center

Winner on May 30 at 10:00 a.m.at the Winner regional extensioncenter

Gettysburg on June 3 at 10:00a.m. at the C&B operations JohnDeere dealership.

All locations have a minimumrequirement of 6 students pre-reg-istered by Friday, May 24 at 4:00p.m. If a location does not have sixstudents pre-registered by thedeadline, that session will be can-celled. Cost of the training is $25per student.

The safety training will consistof classroom instruction, and adriving test. Students are expectedto study the 48 core tasks sheetsprior to the classroom session. Awritten exam will be given overthe 48 core task sheets, whichmust be passed with a minimum of75% correct for the student to ad-vance to the driving portion of thetraining. The task sheets can befound at:http://www.sdstate.edu/abe/exten-sion/hosta/task-sheets/index.cfmTo register for the HOSTA safety

training course, contact Nic Uilkat Nicholas.uilk@sdstate.edu or(605)688-5675 or Candy Willms at(605)688-5141. Those attendingthe Winner training can also con-tact The Winner Regional Exten-sion Center, 842-1267.Cedar Trees Turning Brown?

Cedar trees are turning brownin south-central South Dakota.Much of the problem has been at-tributed to cedar bark beetles thatare attacking trees that have beenstressed from the drought. If treesare otherwise healthy, the trunksand larger branches can besprayed with carbaryl or perme-thrin by June 1 to control the bee-tles. The effectiveness ofinsecticide applications on severelystressed trees is highly question-able.

Curtis Huffman recently ran inthe Medical Mutual Glass CityMarathon in Toledo, OH. He fin-ished sixth out of 918 participantswith a time of 2 hours, 37 minutes,and 35 seconds. This was Huff-man’s 13th marathon in 12 differ-ent states. The weather was rainy with thetemperatures around 50-55 de-grees. There were some elite cal-iber athletes running looking torun close to the Olympic Trialsqualifying standard of 2:18:00.Huffman’s wife, Casey, volunteeredas a directional guide at one of thecorners during the 5K race. Themarathon course took Huffmanand the other marathoners andhalf marathoners through down-town Toledo. The race started andfinished on the campus of the Uni-versity of Toledo. The start wasnext to the football bowl with thefinish coming inside of the bowland finishing inside on the artifi-

cial turf. It was very similar to thatof the pre-historic Olympic gamesin Greece. “It was a very emotional morn-ing as there was a contribute to thebombings during the BostonMarathon,” said Huffman. “A planeflew overhead pulling a large flagcommemorating the date of thebombings from this year. Therewas a moment of silence followedby a commemorative speech andround of applause. This reallybrought the runners and runningfamily closer together. “When the race started, I wasrunning somewhere around the top10. It was hard to figure out whatplace you were in exactly as therewere some marathoners and half-marathoners all starting at thesame time. I figured I was runningsomewhere between 6-10,” saidHuffman. “My goal was to get inthe top 10 and possibly try gettinginto the top 5 in order to receive

money. 1st place received $1,000and all the way down to 5th whichreceived $250. “I was running with a group ofguys all through the first 8 miles,until two of the guys turned to fin-ish the half-marathon. The otherguy and I ran together until mile18 or 19 where I started to pullaway from him. Somewhere in the19th mile, another guy passed meand stayed about 100 yards aheadof me for the rest of the way. Littledid I know that was for the numberfive spot and the $250. I was firstin my age group which won mesome small running items. “I still ran a good race which isthe fastest time since the Bostonmarathon two years ago. I creditthis to my training partner JaseKraft for pushing me all winterwith some speed workouts. I couldreally tell that this helped out alot,” Huffman concluded.

Interior School's combined sixth,seventh, and eighth grade class re-cently won a National Kids toParks Day contest. The class wasawarded $1,000 for an overnightcamping trip to Badlands NationalPark. Although the school regu-larly participates in park educationprograms, this will be the first stu-dent campout of its kind. The fourteen students in theaward-winning class wrote a pro-posal to camp at the primitive SageCreek Campground. Park rangersworked with the students to help

them plan outdoor activities thatemphasize healthy living, educa-tional goals, and stewardship ofpark resources. "We live in a rural area and arefar apart from each other. This is achance to spend time together out-side of school," wrote the middleschoolers in their contest entry."Forthose of us that have never beenout camping we will learn to pitcha tent and learn other valuablecamping skills. We will keep a na-ture journal so our memories willlast a lifetime."

To get ready for their campoutnext month, the students partici-pated in an Explorers Programwith Badlands Chief Ranger CaseyOsback.They learned about searchand rescue procedures, gettinghands-on training in importantoutdoor skills that professionalrangers rely on. "The Explorers Program allowskids to learn by doing," said Os-back."We hope the memories theymake today will inspire some ofthem to pursue careers in theparks.Ultimately, our work withthese students is helping to createthe next generation of park stew-ards." Interior middle school teacherJennifer Van Pelt said, "The kidsare so excited about this opportu-nity.It's a great culmination of ourongoing educational partnershipwith Badlands." The National Kids to Parks DayContest is sponsored by the Na-tional Park Trust. The contest sup-ports bringing students to parks forNational Kids to Parks Day, an an-nual celebration that supportsFirst Lady Michelle Obama's "Let'sMove Outside!" initiative. Winningschools around the country receivefunding for one park experience, in-cluding school bus transportation,healthy snacks, park related fees,or supplies.
