The opening game for the Kadoka High School six man football team will be played at Midland on Friday after- noon, September 23. This will be the first season football has been attempted by either school, but a lively contest is expected. Coach Forrest Jones has been working with a squad of sixteen players since the open- ing of school here, and much improve- ment has been shown by the boys in the fundamentals of the game. Starting with absolutely no experience the boys have shown much interest in the game and have developed nicely, although too much cannot be expected of their first appearance or even their first seasons work because they will be playing expe- rienced teams in some of their games this year. Probably only twelve men will make the trip to Midland Friday, according to Jones, but the entire squad may see ac- tion in the game with Cottonwood here on September 30. Six man football has proven a very popular sport in the smaller schools where the limited number of students and the expense have prohibited these schools from indulging in eleven man football. The game is very similar to the eleven man game although played much more open and on a slightly smaller field. The six man field is 40x80 yards, whereas the eleven man field is 50x100 yards. Equipment was secured here by a purchase of some suits from Philip and a gift of some equipment from the School of Mines at Rapid City. A field will probably be laid out on the baseball diamond lots for games, al- though the boys have been using the lots back of the Victoria Hall for a prac- tice field. Much interest is being developed in football here this fall and a good crowd is expected to be on hand to witness the first home game with Cottonwood, Fri- day afternoon. First game Friday for HS Gridder, 1938 Taken from the 1964-65 Kadoka School annual. President Bob Stout, Vice President Judy Zickrick, and Secretary-Treasurer Roxy Stevens were elected as the constitutional officers of the 1964-65 council. The first goal of the hard-working council was to establish the first homecoming for Kadoka. This goal reached its climax on October 30 with the homecoming foot- ball game with Wall and the homecoming dance and coronation that night. Kadoka 1964-65 Student Council Taken from the October 1965 Kadoka Press. Roxy Stevens and Dennis Headlee, seniors in the Kadoka High School, were crowned last week as the home- coming queen and king at the Kadoka High Schools homecoming held Thurs- day evening and Friday. Attendants to the royalty were Mary Ann Slater, Judy Zickrick, Bruce Brugman and Bob Stout, all seniors. The KHS royalty were chosen by the high school student body in an election two weeks ago, but the announcement of the king and queen was not made public until the pep rally which was held on Thursday evening. The pep rally was highlighted by a bonfire and a snake dance which wound through the streets of Kadoka. Climaxing the homecoming activi- ties was the homecoming football game with Wall Friday evening. It was also Dads Night at the football game. Prior to the starting of the game the players and their dads were introduced to the huge crowd which was on hand for the contest. Fathers were given numbers identical to those of their sons and wore them during the game. All the fathers of the football players were present for the homecoming game. Wall won the game by a score of 14 to 2 in a well played contest. Homecoming activities ended Friday night with a dance in the city audito- rium, with music provided by the Tore- adors from Scotland, SD. 1964 KHS Homecoming Royalty 1938 team Included Marvin Willert, Don Thimson, Russell Hicks, Harvey Pe- terson, Ova Potter, Bob Coye, Glenn Corrington, Russell Corrington, Oliver Willert, Kenneth Wilson, Russel Bechen, Robert Olney, Claude Potter, Melvin Hicks, James Baldwin, Coach Forrest L Jones.

One study found 53% of people in the US have a close relative who has a drinking problem. At last count 17.6 million in this country are alcoholic or alcohol abusive. Al- cohol excess causing auto crashes, homicide and suicide, liver-heart- brain-kidney illness, and brain damage to the unborn, costs the US about 185 billion dollars per year, not to mention incalculable human suffering. Alcoholic means four things: craving, cant stop, withdrawal symptoms, and needing more and more to get high. This is different from abuse, which means a pat- tern of drinking which results in failed work or school responsibili- ties, driving while drunk, legal problems or social and family prob- lems. Although separate by defini- tion, many alcoholics also experience alcohol abuse. Maybe the power of addiction has to do with what one friend said, Its amazing how booze makes you think youre so intelli- gent! The paradox is that the stuff that makes one feel so smart, in reality, at the same time is de- stroying judgment. People cant get out of it because they dont re- alize theyre in it. The CAGE questions help iden- tify when there could be a problem: C stands for cutting down, A for annoyed be criticism about drinking, G for feelings of guilt, and E for the eye-opener in the morning to steady nerves. One yes is worrisome, and two means someone needs help. There is a myth that alcoholism is a sign of moral weakness, and to seek help is to admit some type of shameful act. In fact, alcoholism is a disease like diabetes or asthma, and not a sign of weak- ness or ethical deficiency. Why is it that alcohol will take hold of some people, and not let go until its destroyed their lives or the lives of those around them? We dont know the answer to that question but what we do know is that if there is a problem with al- cohol, there is help to be had. You just need to ask for it. Rick Holm, M.D., Medical Editor Alcoholism Galatians 5:13 God has a purpose for your life. If that weren't true, He'd have taken you home to heaven at the moment of salvation. Do you ever wonder why He left you here? The Lord intends to influence others through you. Our purpose is to be a vessel through which Christ overflows to others--touching those who hurt and des- perately need a Savior. Once we are saved, Scripture teaches, our involvement is threefold. First, we love others. Jesus clearly stated that this was one of the two greatest commandments (Matt. 22:38-39). Second, we share the good news of salvation (Acts 1:8). Some travel across the world to spread the gospel, while others teach neighbors across the street. The Holy Spirit will direct us to the right people if we are willing to obey. Third, we serve in a variety of ways, like helping those in need, sharing our resources, and lifting others in prayer. Jesus is our perfect example of all three. His entire life was marked by caring for peo- ple--both those who loved Him and those who did not. In fact, the Bible teaches that He humbled Himself and became like us, willing to give up His life for our redemption. There is no greater love; there is no greater act of service. Scripture clearly defines the believer's purpose. Aligning ourselves with God's intentions for His chil- dren--loving others, witnessing, and serving-- bring us great satisfaction. In fact, we're still on earth not merely to hear more teaching but to act on it and share with others what we learn.

Meals for the Elderly The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department has been monitoring die-offs of white-tailed deer across portions of the state and must make adjustments to some West River deer hunting units. Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) has been confirmed in white-tailed deer, and many of the deer deaths being reported by the public are suspected to be the re- sult of that disease. In response to the disease, all unsold licenses will be removed from the following deer hunting units for the West River deer sea- son: Bennett County: 11A-09 and 11B-17; Gregory County: 30A-19 and 30B-19; and Jackson County: 39B-09. In addition, 200 licenses will be removed for Meade County: 49B-09. As the department continues to monitor the outbreak of EHD over the next couple of weeks, we will provide additional recommenda- tions to the Game, Fish and Parks Commission at its October meeting to address East River deer units, said GFP Secretary Jeff Vonk. Currently, the department plans to recommend that the commission remove all unsold licenses in Bon Homme, Hutchinson, and Yankton counties and make significant re- ductions to leftover licenses in Brule and Charles Mix counties for the second draw of the East River deer season. Between now and the next commission meeting, we will continue our surveillance efforts with the possibility of additional li- cense reductions. Aside from conducting ground surveillance and collecting reports from the public, GFP is also using aerial flights to help determine the severity of deer mortalities. Reports of dead deer are coming from across the state, and in some instances landowners are telling traditionally hosted hunters that opportunities will be limited, Vonk said. With that in mind, GFP is notifying deer hunters that they can voluntarily return a deer li- cense for any season prior to the start of that respective season and receive a full refund. Hunters desiring a refund for a deer license should send their li- cense, including all associated tags, to: GFP Licensing Office; 20641 SD Highway 1806; Fort Pierre, SD 57532. EHD is common in white-tailed deer and is typically detected in late summer or early fall. The virus is spread by a biting midge and causes extensive internal hemor- rhaging. Many deer exhibit no clin- ical signs and appear perfectly healthy, while others may have symptoms such as respiratory dis- tress, fever, and swelling of the tongue. With highly virulent strains of the virus, deer can be dead within 1-3 days. In an at- tempt to combat the high fever, af- fected deer are often found in low-lying areas or near rivers, ponds and other waters. GFP continues to ask individu- als who see sick deer or find dead deer to contact their local conserva- tion officer or call the Pierre office at 605-773-5913. EHD is not infectious to hu- mans.

Parke __________________ John Parke was born in Kadoka, South Dakota, on February 24, 1943 to Olive and Merle Parke. He grew up in Kadoka with five broth- ers and sisters; William, Clifford, Frances, Faye and Kathie. He married Aletha Cadman on Valentines Day 1963 and they moved to Rapid City shortly after they were married. In the Spring of 1967, they bought five acres of tim- ber in the Rockerville area south of town where they built their home by hand and raised four boys; Shawn, Kirby, Blake and Robbie. All of Johns family and friends loved to visit he and Aletha on their five acres because it was so peace- ful and quiet. Even though all of the boys are grown and moved away with families of their own, they still call the place in the sticks home. John joined the South Dakota Army National Guard in 1961 even before graduating high school. He started work as a full time Na- tional Guard technician at Camp Rapid in 1964. He graduated Offi- cer Candidate School in 1969 and received a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps in 1970. John served in the South Dakota Army National Guard for 35 years in many differ- ent leadership and management capacities, retiring in 1996 as a Lieutenant Colonel at the early age of 53. John led by example. He often said that common sense and experience were the best teachers. He was a dedicated volunteer. He spent 45 years on the Rock- erville Volunteer Fire Department serving in all capacities. Following retirement, he and Aletha bought a small 5th wheel trailer and joined the United Methodist Church Nomads organization travelling throughout the United States on volunteer construction and remod- eling projects. He discovered the Nomads were a perfect fit for his love of travelling, volunteering and building things with gently used building supplies. He also volunteered at many local organi- zations throughout his life, includ- ing the Club for Boys and later at the Club for Boys Thrift Store. John was always ready to help members of the church, neighbors, friends and family. He was known as MacGyver to his close friends as he could build or fix just about anything. His God-given talents are left in many places. He en- riched the daily life of many with his wit and humor along the way. Hes now working with the Master Carpenter. An avid fisherman and hunter, John was at home fishing anything from the lakes and rivers of the Black Hills, to the numerous stock dams around Kadoka, to the Mis- souri River, to the Canadian Lakes. One of his favorite activities was deer counts on the many gravel and dirt forest service roads in the Black Hills. He and his brother Clifford owned a cabin in the Rochford area for many years. That was one of his favorite places to spend weekends and holidays with family and friends He will be greatly missed by his wife Aletha, sons Shawn (Teresa) of Gretna, Nebraska; Kirby (Shelli) of Meridian, Idaho; Blake (Kim) of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Robbie (April) of Tacoma, WA; twelve grandchildren and one step great granddaughter. John was preceded in death by his parents, Merle and Olive Parke, and niece Kristine Parke McQuistion. A Celebration of Life was held in Rapid City at the South Maple United Methodist Church on Fri- day, September 14. He was laid to rest at the Black Hills National Cemetery at 2:00 p.m. with mili- tary honors. A memorial has been established in Johns name at the Rapid City Club for Boys. Funeral arrangements were pro- vided by Kirk Funeral Home. There is an online guest book available at www.kirkfuneral- home.com Missy enjoyed the parade while riding in the vehicle pulling the Kadoka Nursing Home float. --photo by Ronda Dennis Coyotes aint nothin but a hound dog was the theme of the float entry by Tammys Tresses.

It had been getting worse and worse over the last month to six weeks until it had become very slow to empty. Using it required a bit more patience than I had. It was time or past time to fix things. Accordingly, I rounded up the big pliers-like tool I bought ages ago after seeing plumber Lloyd using one like it to good effect many times. A couple of screw- drivers were grabbed as well. Then I cleaned out the vanity under the sink just in case I made an unmit- igated mess which was somewhat likely going on past experience. Taking a deep breath, I adjusted the pliers to the size of the nut on the plastic pipe and tentatively gave it a turn. It moved easily. Oh, good! I said. The nut on the other side of the trap moved just as easily. I could unscrew both of them by hand from there on. Oddly enough, the trap was completely clear. The problem had to be farther up. I probed up there with a big screwdriver and brought some stuff out, but the clog seemed to be higher still. Standing up, I considered how to get the drain plug out since some of those are connected by compli- cated screw contraptions that have completely defeated me in the past. When I gave a tug, though, the plug came right out. That was easy, I said in relief. From there I could see the obstruction, and the screwdriver soon had it out. It was a nasty glob of hair and unidenti- fiable slime. It only took a minute or two to remove it and flush the pipe into the pail I had under the drain below. Mission accomplished except for reconstruction. Luckily, the plug snapped right back in, and the trap went back on about as easily as it had come off. I tightened things with the pliers and tested my work by running some water through. No leaks. Ex- cellent! A few wipes with a couple of paper towels and the job was done. That was easy, I said to myself. Why didnt I do that weeks ago? Because you dont have any confidence in your plumbing skills, was my immediate reply to myself. And that is so. It is not an area where I shine. I can do such things, but natural talent, apti- tude and experience are somewhat lacking. As a result, I would rather put up with the inconvenience of a slow drain than actually try to fix it. As you know, a lack of confi- dence can inhibit our attempts to do various things. We might kind of want to do various jobs or activ- ities but dont because we arent sure we can pull it off. Dealing with electrical matters certainly falls into that category with me. Im not very confident when it comes to plumbing, but double or triple that with electricity. You might make a big mess if you goof up in plumbing, but you could end up dead through a mistake with electricity. Im not sure that will ever change with me so I am not hesitant to call in an actual electri- cian if things look somewhat be- yond me. I plan to continue that practice. In other areas, though, I can ac- complish what I want to do if I work at it. About the first thing I need to do, however, is relax. If youre all tensed up, you cant do much. This I learned in part through playing complicated musi- cal pieces in public. If youre too tense, your music wont be very good or youll scramble the hard parts. I have to just tell myself that, yes, there is a chance Ill goof up and embarrass myself, but, what the heck. So be it. Im going to give it a shot anyway and try to have a good time in the process. A lot of practice beforehand, of course, will make public perform- ance easier. Public speaking is another in- stance of where one needs to con- sciously relax. Seeing all those eyes watching you could possibly make one tense. I dont have much of a problem with that anymore, but it was harder to do earlier in life when Id had no experience with it. You know, when Joshua was about to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, God repeatedly told him, Be strong and coura- geous. Be strong and courageous. This was possible for Joshua be- cause God had promised to be with him and help him. God promises to do the same for us if we trust him, even in everyday matters like plumbing. Oh dear! Wife Corinne just in- formed me that another drain in the house is having problems and could use some work. Perhaps Id better deal with that while my tri- umph over the first drain is still fresh in my mind. As the little train says in the childhood story about climbing a steep hill, I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. Confidence Lookin Around by Syd Iwan Bob Fortune spent from Thurs- day evening until Sunday in Rapid City attending the Stockgrowers Convention. Since Bob is vice-pres- ident of the organization, he kept fairly busy with meetings and such. He said there was a good turnout, and it was a good meeting. The fundraising auction went well as did the awards banquet on Sat- urday evening. The main conven- tion ended Saturday evening, but there was a board of directors meeting on Sunday that Bob also had to stay for. Bobs wife, Ruth, came from Wyoming to spend the weekend in Rapid City with Bob at the convention. Kenny and Roxie Fox also spent the weekend at the Stockgrowers Convention in Rapid City. Wade Fox went up on Saturday for the day. Kenny was president of the or- ganization for the usual two-year term which ended last year. Past presidents, however, immediately go onto the board of directors for ten years, so he had to stay through Sunday afternoon to at- tend the board meeting. Kenny said it was nice to get home, how- ever, and get back out on the prairie, check the cows, and do the usual things. Mark DeVries also at- tended the convention. Chuck and Merry Willard at- tended the Stockgrowers Conven- tion this weekend. Their daughter, Niki Kleinsasser, came from Hot Springs to look after things at the ranch while they were gone. Merry just got home from spending about three weeks with her daughter, Coleen, and family at Pinedale, WY. Coleen came here first for a couple of weeks with her daughter, Frankie, during which they enter- tained the flu. Then Merry, Coleen and Frankie visited Casey Willard in Nebraska overnight before going to Pinedale with a stopover of a night at Casper, WY. At Pinedale, Merry played with Frankie quite a bit which she enjoyed. She also helped some with the hunting camp Coleen and Billy run as out- fitters. While there, everyone took a four-plus hour drive to Salt Lake City, Utah. Merry also got to meet Billys grandma whom she hadnt met previously since the grandma wasnt able to come when Billy and Coleen got married. Merry said it was nice to be back home. Francie Davis and her three sons just got back from spending two weeks near Sioux Falls. They were house and horse sitting for some friends who went to Korea for a brothers wedding. On Saturday, they attended the Bad River Buckaroo 5K walk/ride/run at Mid- land. The boys opted to ride their bikes but Francie ran. Chad had to work and did neither. John and Samantha Addison at- tended the horse sale in Philip on Saturday. They came home with a couple of pretty little colts. Saman- thas dad, Gordon Flesner, of Milesville was also at the sale. Son Koye attended the parade and other festivities in Midland this weekend and had lots of fun. He was taken by his grandmother and great grandmother, Diana and Marie. Sam said it was possible that Koye ate a little too much candy during his outing since he was a bit high when he got back home. Samantha also said that, of the five siblings in her family, four are twins and Sam is one of them. Sams mom was also a twin, but the twinning tendency hasnt passed down to the next generation yet.

Earlier in the week, Mike and Bert helped fight the big fire over at Okaton. It was a fast mov- ing, slightly scary blaze, especially when the fire truck they were using quit, possibly from a lack of oxygen. The truck had to be just de- serted while the men on it escaped to safer quarters. Although the fire burned all around the truck, the truck itself didnt suffer any dam- age. When they went back to re- claim it, the revolving light on top was still going around and the doors were open just like they left it. Colter Carlson and Cole Hind- man also helped fight the fire and werent that fond of it. Frost was reported at several low-lying areas on Saturday night. One place was at Lee Addisons on Brave Bull Creek. Frank Carlson and Toni Romero added another son to their family on the September 10 when Stetson Loyd was born to them at Pierre. He joins older brothers, Trey and Sage. Stetson seems to be doing fine. His middle name was also the middle name of Franks dad, Lonny, and spelled the same way with only one L. Frank attended the big horse sale in Philip on Sat- urday and the horse sale in Ft. Pierre on Sunday. He came home with a two-year-old from Philip, and a colt and six-year-old gelding from Pierre. Some of the new stock is owned in partnership with Joe Pavlas. Frank likes to have new horses to train and possibly sell later on.

Secretary of State Jason Gant said absentee voting opens Friday for the Nov. 6 General Election. To vote absentee by mail, voters must complete an absentee ballot application, sign it and either have it notarized or provide a copy of their photo identification card be- fore returning it, Gant said, adding that applications are avail- able in the offices of county audi- tors as well as online at sdsos.gov. The auditor will then mail a paper ballot to the voter to complete and return. Residents may also vote absen- tee in person beginning Sept. 21 by visiting the office of their county auditor. There they may confirm voter registration, complete an ap- plication for an absentee ballot and then vote the ballot and return it to the auditor. In the case of military and over- seas voters, applications can be transmitted via fax or e-mail as well as by postal mail. If the appli- cation is for a Primary, General or other statewide election, uniformed and overseas voters may request to have their ballots sent to them electronically. Our website provides general absentee voting guidelines as well as a Military and Overseas Citi- zens section, which offers specific step-by-step instructions, Gant said. Voters can also check their registration status online at sdsos.gov through the Voter Infor- mation Portal, which is a tool al- lowing voters to view a sample of their ballots and check on polling locations. Applications can be returned at any time, but absentee voting be- gins 46 days prior to an election. In South Dakota, election officials must receive applications for ab- sentee ballots no later than 3 p.m. on Election Day. Once an absentee ballot is completed, a voter may re- turn it to the county auditor in per- son or by mail. A qualified voter who is confined due to sickness or disability may apply in writing for an absentee ballot via authorized messenger. An authorized messenger delivers the ballot from the election official to the qualified voter and then re- turns the marked ballot. Breakdown of absentee voting in South Dakota: 1. Verify status as registered voter in South Dakota (register to vote or update registration through county auditor if needed; registra- tion deadline is 15 days prior to an election). 2. Obtain absentee ballot appli- cation from County Auditor or on- line. 3. Fill out application, sign and have notarized or provide copy of a photo identification card (ID re- quirement waived only for overseas voters). 4. Return application in person, via authorized messenger or by mail (uniformed and overseas vot- ers may also submit applications by fax or e-mail). 5. Fill out absentee ballot upon receipt and return to election offi- cial in person, via authorized mes- senger or by mail.

Fire jumps the highway and headed for the home of Brad and Shawna Roghair south of the highway. Smoke-filled air The smoke rolls over the hillside toward the home of Flavia Stotts on Wednesday, September 19. She also lost an aban- don place on her land. The aftermath leading into the Brad Roghair residence. The next day their daughter said, It was by the grace of God that we didnt lose everything. Kadoka Volunteer Fire Department Dale Christensen (L) runs the tender during the fire Wednesday afternoon, continually refilling any fire-fighting units in need of water. He had just refilled the unit of Luke Carlsons when a Kadoka truck manned by Fire Chief David Johnson (R) and past chief Rich Bendt ar- rived for a refill. Bendt said flames were shooting over 20 feet high. Kadoka had all of their units at the fire, in- cluding the Suburban, which was used to transport water and sandwiches to the crews fighting the fire. North of Borks this dam diverted the fire toward the southeast, forcing the fire around the home place of Herman and Jewell Bork. They lost fences, bales and winter grazing pastures. Lending a hand Baxter Badure drives the pickup while Cole Hindman sprays the fire from the back. These guys were just two of many who took personal units to the fire; they were not the only crew using homemade fire units made by Scott Bauman. And heres where it started A truck with a load of round bales, traveling south on a gravel road, ignited three fires, which resulted in at least 16 fire departments responding, and many other individuals, to help extinguish the fires on Wednesday. This was the scene over the hill north of Herman and Jewell Borks. Wind-driven fire burns 2,465 acres, miles of fence, tons of hay Fire Photos by Ronda Dennis bales accidentally ignited the load of bales, then proceeded to drive two miles down the road towards the Interstate, spreading the fire as it went. Sylva said it is unclear as to how the bales actually started on fire. The blaze swept through the Herman Bork place, taking with it 382 hay bales, as well as destroying winter grazing pastures and ap- proximately 7.6 miles of fence. To make matters worse, a good por- tion of that fence was new. After making its way through the Borks, the fire jumped the In- terstate and threatened both Flavia Stotts residence, as well as the residence of Nathan and Sherri Vander Schaaf. A little further south, Brad and Shawna Roghairs place was also in danger. With a strong wind blowing the fire south, Flavia Stotts knew she had to do something, as the fire- men had not yet arrived at her house. With garden hose in hand, she was determined to saturate her dry yard around her house and propane tank. Whether that stopped the fire or not, I dont know. I could see where the firemen had sprayed the north side of the house. Stotts said she took her car and drove east to be out of the way of the fire. Marty Roghair drove over to re- port to me that my barn had gone with the fire, said Stotts. The fire came within yards of her house and destroyed her barn, but the firemen were able to keep the damage to only that. Straight south of Stotts house, the Brad and Shawna Roghair place was in danger. Clarice Roghair reported that Bob Roghair drove over with his tractor and disk, turning up ground to stop the fire from advancing any closer to the Roghair home. The Vander Schaaf s have been threatened by fire more than once this summer. The first time, a fire started in the east bound lane of Interstate 90, and spread up a draw towards their home. This time, the fire spread even further, coming within less than 100 yards of their home. Sherri Vander Schaaf said that the fire has flared up near their house twice since Wednesday. Sylva reported that the Murdo Fire Department stayed on the scene of the fire over night on Sep- tember 19, and has been back every day to monitor and wet down hot spots as needed. Sixteen fire departments re- sponded to the fire, including: Murdo, Draper, Belvidere, Kadoka, Midland, Philip, Ft. Pierre, Four Corners, Wood, White River, Vi- vian, Presho, Kennebec and Re- liance, as well as the U.S. Forest Service National Grasslands sta- tioned in Ft. Pierre and B.I.A. from Rosebud. The departments were assisted by many neighbors who drove personal fire fighting rigs. In addition to other depart- ments, Sylva reported that many other services assisted with the fire. They include: Jones County Sheriff, Jones County Ambulance, SD Highway Patrol, Pierre Police Department, State Radio Commu- nications Rapid City, SD Depart- ment of Transportation, SD Office of Emergency Management, Great Plains Dispatch, West Central Electric and Jackson County Emer- gency Management. Dean Nelson from West Central Electric reported that 40 powerline poles will have to be replaced as a result of the fire. He said that no- body was out of power for an ex- tended amount of time during the fire. Pole replacement will continue for the next two weeks. Sylva estimated that 50-60 fire trucks responded, and approxi- mately 120 firemen. After the fire jumped the Inter- state, I put a call in to Great Plains Dispatch for single engineer air tankers, but before the could get moralized, we had the fire under control, said Sylva. Direct dollar damage reported so far for the fire includes, but is not limited to: Borks fence, the hay lost and the buildings that were de- stroyed. Indirect dollar damage in- cludes winter grazing pastures owned by Borks, and wheat stubble fields that provide cover and keep moisture in the ground. Sylva said, Thank you for everyone who brought food and water to the firemen, it really made it easier. The Murdo Fire Department has responded to approximately 50 fires so far this year. Eight of those include mutual aid calls, in which the department is called to help an- other county. Vegetation fires, such as grass or wheat, accounted for 25 of the calls. Sylva encouraged everyone to be careful when it comes to anything that can cause a fire. The season is not done yet, Sylva reminds. He said, at this point, rain will help, but it will not stop the fire season. --by Karlee Barnes Murdo Coiyote Wednesday, September 19 at 4:30 p.m. a semi hauling hay north of Exit 177 started on fire, result- ing in a blaze that destroyed 2,465 acres of land. The fire threatened five differ- ent residences between Exit 177 and Okaton, both north and south of Interstate 90.

The girls team took second place behind the Philip Scotties, with the Kougars having 18 points to the Scotties 16. Taking 3rd was Lyman, 4th Rapid City Christian and Jones County took 5th place. Coming in first in the 4,000 var- sity run was Holly Iwan of Philip with a time of 16:55; 2nd Ellie Coyle of Philip with a time of 16:57; 3rd Scout Sudbeck 17:30; 6th Vic- toria Letellier 17:51; 9th Shaley Herber 18:15; 13th Marti Herber 18:38.

Kadoka girls take 2nd in WGP Conference meet On Thursday, September 22 the Lady Kougar volleyball team com- peted in the White River Triangu- lar. Kadoka defeated White River 25-21, 25-21, 25-20. Raven Jorgensen was 15/15 serving with 11 service points and 3 aces. Shaley Herber had a domi- nant match spiking 20/23 with 13 kills and 2 blocks. Marti Herber and Kwincy Ferguson each added 6 kills. Taylor Merchen had 12 set as- sists, and Tessa Stout had 7 set as- sists and 6 digs. This was really a nice win for us. White River has a good team but has just been up and down all season. I think this was one of the best attacking matches we have played all season, and that is a good sign, considering it is the weakest part of our game. Pine Ridge defeated Kadoka 25- 14, 25-16, 25-18. Mariah Pierce was 8/8 serving with 4 points and 1 ace. Raven Jor- gensen was 13/13 spiking with 7 kills and 5 blocks, and Shaley Her- ber was 8/9 spiking with 6 kills and 2 blocks. Tessa Stout and Taylor Merchen combined for 11 set as- sists. Mariah Pierce had 3 digs. This was probably one of our worst matches of the year. We were back on our heels most of the match and just could not get a read on what Pine Ridge was doing. They put the ball in every corner of the court, and we just wasn't ready for it. It was good for us though; Pine Ridge is a good team, and they exposed some of our weaknesses and let us know what we need to get better at. Pine Ridge JV defeated the Kadoka JV 2-0. White River JV defeated the Kadoka JV 2-1. The JV struggled a bit on Thurs- day night after playing so well the last few matches; but, they are playing with a couple new players to the JV, and it will take some time to get used to each other. They played pretty well against White River losing in a close 3 set match. Our next match will be in the Lead Tournament on Saturday, September 29. --by Coach Barry Hutchinson Kougars knock out Tigers drop to Pine Ridge put the team on his shoulders and keep the offense rolling just enough to keep the ball away from Jones County in the second half. Our guys faced a lot of adversity and adjustments and they met the chal- lenges head on as we were able to completely shut down the Coyotes offense as our defense held them to only 33 total yards. The story lines of this game were of course the injuries, but the way that everyone stepped up and made plays, and played smart foot- ball especially in the second half, to get the win and to shut them down the way we did, made me very proud. Nothing was easy, but they rose to the challenge. I also can not say enough about the job that Lane Patterson did when Chandlier was unable to go anymore at quarter- back. Lane came in, rarely ever playing the position, and he milked the clock and took care of the ball for us in the 4th quarter. If ever we needed a bye week it is this week. We will take this time to heal, and to regroup and get ready for White River on October 5. We look forward to the challenges ahead, and one thing these kids have done this year is rise to the oc- casion when they are met with challenges. We appreciate the entire com- munity for their support during our 2012 homecoming week! Go Kougars! --by Coach Chad Eisenbraun Jones County 0 Kadoka Area 18 After a great week of homecom- ing activities that included one of the best pep rallies Ive seen, the Kadoka Area Kougars football team put a nice ending to a fun week with an 18-0 victory over the Jones County Coyotes. The game opened with a 95-yard touchdown run on the first play of scrimmage by Kenar VanderMay to put us up 6-0. The game then turned into somewhat of a defensive battle. We made some mistakes that put us in some bad situations, but our de- fense did a great job throughout the game of holding off any kind of threat from Jones County. In the second quarter we had some bad luck as Logan Chris- tensen went down with a severe ankle sprain and Kenar Vander- May left the game with a broken collar bone. It was very unfortu- nate and our hearts are broken es- pecially for Kenar, but our football team stepped up and stayed tough through all of that adversity. Chandlier Sudbeck came in at quarterback and threw two touch- down passes in the second quarter, one to Logan Ammons and one to Klay ODaniel to make the score 18-0 at halftime. I dont know if gutsy is the right word for what Chandlier did for the football team as he was nursing a hip/back injury, but he was able to Kougars face injuries, win homecoming game 18-0 Shaley Herber Victoria Letellier Marti Herber Scout Sudbeck Avoiding the tackle Even with an injury, Chandlier Sudbeck picks up a gain of yards on this play. In addition, he stepped in as quar- terback and threw two touchdown passes. --photo by Ronda Dennis Athletes of the Week Chance Knutson Football Chance doesnt always have the most stats offensively, but hes a huge part of our offense at full back. Hes been an excellent lead blocker for us for four years now and is an integral part of both our running and passing games success. Hes also been a four-year starter on de- fense. He plays linebacker 90% of the time, but when needed, he will also play some defensive tackle. Chance is always willing to do whatever is necessary for the team and is an outstanding leader on and off the field. Scout Sudbeck Cross Country 3rd in WGP Cross Country Meet. Shaley Herber Volleyball In our two matches against Pine Ridge and White River last Thurs- day, Shaley spiked 28/32 with 19 kills and 5 blocks. Thirteen of those kills came in a big win against White River.

Kadoka pre-school has 23 students and Midland pre-school has 7 students. PRINCIPALS REPORTS: Mr. Nemecek reported that open house and parent meetings were held at Midland on August 27 and at Interior on September 4.

The Kadoka high school parent night was held on September 11 with ap- proximately 30 parents and staff mem- bers in attendance. The tardy policy and ICU plan was explained to parents. BOARD COMMITTEE REPORTS: BUILDING COMMITTEE: Mr. Hermann reported that the building committee met. The committee held follow up discussion on housing needs. The committee also discussed the Resolution of Support re- garding a future building project that was adopted by the board last spring.

CITIZENS INPUT: Tasha Peters ques- tioned if the ICU is replacing Friday tutor- ing. Mr. Seiler responded that it is in addition to Friday tutoring; ICU will be twice per month and Friday tutoring is weekly. Tasha Peters also questioned the opera- tion of the concession stand and if it will be offered to the Junior Class first before offering to other groups. She expressed concerns regarding the Senior Class of 2013 having enough funds for their sen- ior activities.

Granted, that may opti- mistic. It became obvious early in the summer that some crop sequences like corn following corn, soybeans, alfalfa or sunflower were much shorter on soil moisture than oth- ers. No-till fields seemed to with- stand the drought better than tilled fields. Even within fields, large differences were seen in how well the crops handled the drought, reflecting changes in soil types and the water holding capac- ity of them. As you look ahead to the 2013 growing season and beyond, if you planted a crop that failed in 2012, that may not necessarily be a bad thing. That may sound easy to say when you dont farm, but if you farm in such a way that a crop never fails due to drought, you will not take full advantage of a good year. Regardless of your farming technique, good crop rotations have many benefits; including making the best use of the rainfall you receive. Producers in dry areas should strive for a mix of high and low water-use crops. Producers in better rainfall areas will include more high-use crops. A good rotation has diversity in plant types, planting dates, and harvest periods. This diversity spreads workloads and decreases insect, disease, and weed pressure. Crop rotations also have varying levels of water use intensity. Dwayne Beck, Manager of the Dakota Lakes Research Farm, has done some example calculations on both the diversity and intensity of a variety of crop rotations, and has the document available at: http://www.dakotalakes.com/Publi- cations/DI_Sample_Calculations.p df. The proper water use intensity will vary from one area to another. The key is to make use of the rain- fall you receive. As Dwayne Beck says, when a crop fails, thats what crop insurance is for. Nitrate Testing Summary We were able to summarize a large number of Nitrate test re- sults from the 2002 and 2006 droughts, due to the cooperation of the Olson Biochemistry Lab at SDSU. With the closing of that lab in the fall of 2011, that resource is no longer available, but one of the private labs recently provided a summary of the Nitrate tests they have analyzed to date. SGS Labs, of Brookings, SD, provided analysis of a number of corn, corn silage, corn stalks, al- falfa hay, grass hay mix, lamb- squarter (weed), oat forage, oat hay, and sorghum/sudan grass samples from June 28 September 4, 2012. The samples came largely from South Dakota, with some from Minnesota, Iowa and Ne- braska. The majority of the sam- ples came from southeastern and southern South Dakota, and the bordering parts of the other states. The highest level of Nitrate their analysis found was 1.14%, which is well over 2 times the level that is considered safe to feed, even when mixed with safer feed- stuffs. The average level was 0.15%, which is at the upper limit of safe to feed to non-pregnant an- imals, and recommended to be lim- ited to 50% of the ration for pregnant animals. The median level, which is the numerical value separating the higher half of the samples from the lower half of the samples, was 0.10%, which is safe to feed to all animals if adequate feed and water are available. Any of the labs will continue to test forages for Nitrates.
