KGFX Hometown Tour in Kadoka June 20

--by Dave Ohrtman Kadoka Area athletes recentlyhad a strong showing in the two-day South Dakota High SchoolClass B State Track Meet atO’Harra Stadium in Rapid City,and one Kougar athlete cameaway from the meet with a career-best discus throw and a first placemedal to show for it. Logan Ammons, who recentlycompleted his sophomore year atKadoka Area High School, is the2012 Class B Boys’ Discus Cham-pion. Ammons becomes Kadoka’sfirst individual event championsince Tia Carlson captured the 800-meter run title at the 2010 State BTrack Meet. Ammons is also thefirst throwing events championsince Kadoka alum and US NavalAcademy graduate Tyrell Armentcaptured the State B discus title in2006. Ammons had pre-qualified forthe state meet, with a personalbest throw of 138’ 4” at a trackmeet earlier this year in Sturgis.He finished second at the RegionVII meet on May 17, but was un-happy with his quality of throwsthat day. Day one of the track meet was acool, overcast day with occasionalrain showers sprinkling the com-petitors and making the throwingsurface a bit slicker than usual. Hedid not, however, let the conditionsdeter him from topping his previ-ous personal records, with a pre-liminary round throw of 145’ 3”. Having made the final round ofeight throwers, his distance heldup until he unleashed his finalthrow for a distance of 145’ 8” tocapture the title over Tate Nafzigerof Gettysburg. “Everything just kind of fell to-

gether on those throws that I gotthem out as far as I did,” said Am-mons, who recently finished theyear in Kadoka after transferringfrom Burwell, Nebraska. Having competed in football,wrestling and track this year, thefull year of competition, weightroom and practice time paid offwith a first place finish.

Ammons captures State B discus titleSudbeck headed for Disney Duals

--by Robyn Jones Kadoka Area High School soph-omore, Chandlier Sudbeck, hasearned a position on the TeamSouth Dakota to compete inwrestling at the 16th Annual Dis-ney Duals in Orlando, Florida. Sudbeck began wrestling at agefive in the Kadoka AAU Wrestlingclub. “I wasn’t very good,” said Sud-beck with the a laugh, “I maybewon a match here or there, but notvery many.” He enjoyed and had funwrestling at the AAU tournamentsand being around friends. But oncehe started wrestling at the highschool level in the seventh grade,he became much more committed. That commitment paid off, whenSudbeck qualified for the SouthDakota State Wrestling Tourna-ment in the 103 weight division. “Qualifying in the seventh gradewas really exciting,” said Sudbeck,“and even though I didn’t place atstate, I’ll never forget the feeling of

going to state for the first time.” That experience encouraged himto practice hard and he was re-warded by earning the opportunityto compete at the state tournamenthis eighth grade year also. “I was a little nervous competingat state again,” said Sudbeck. “Thecompetition is so tough.” Wrestling against some strongand more experienced wrestlerswas somewhat intimidating, butSudbeck prevailed by capturingeighth place. “I was just happy to qualify forthe final round at state,” Sudbecksaid with a laugh. “Placing was justa little extra.” Being a wrestler takes muchdedication, it can be challengingboth physically and mentally. “Making weight at each meet isalways a worry,” he said. “You al-ways are thinking about yourweight and watching what youeat.”

The Kadoka cross country teamwon the State “B” title in 2007 and2008. In 2009 they took second,third in 2010 and second in 2011.

“Our first state win was a bigone. It was also the year that HarryWeller’s house burned,” she said.Not only was it a very exciting mo-ment for the girls, but also boost forcoach Weller, who was dealing withliving in a motel.

“The second year I thought wemight have been disqualified andwe were all in tears, but we madeit,” Carlson recalled.

In their third trip to state theyknew they were up against a toughLemmon team. “It was a heart-breaker, especially for the youngergirls, to take second place,” sheadded.

The girls went to summercamps. “The camp instructor said Iwas running hunched over andswinging my elbows, but old habitsare hard to break,” Carlson said.

The girls got in a lot of trainingwhen they were running crosscountry and playing volleyball dur-ing the same season. “It was tough,but we motivated each other,” sheadded. Then there was girls’ bas-ketball season.

The running didn’t stop. Carlsonran track in the spring and has anumber of medals and plaques toreminder herself of her dedicationand accomplishments.

Carlson said she had to convinceCoach Noteboom this year that shewanted to run the 400 in track. Sheran it and broke some records. At aKadoka meet she broke Trina Ku-jawa’s record of 1:01.3 with a1:01.2. At the state meet, she brokeher own record in 60.59.

--by Ronda DennisOnly being a third grader, Tia

Carlson started running at a youngage. Harry Weller gave her a uni-form and look what happened … .

At that time, she had no ideawhere it would take her. Stickingwith it and acquiring a deep lovefor running has been a highlightfor Tia Carlson’s athletic career.

Carlson holds five records - 4personal and one team record. Shehas also won two star quilts.

She was encouraged by her par-ents, who were her best cheerlead-ers, and her many coaches. Carlsonsaid she influenced Shaley Herber,Alex Smiley and Emmy Antonsento join as a pack of cross countryrunners.

When asked how she trained,Carlson said, “I didn’t walk, I ran.” The cross country team did a lot ofrunning on the Word road south ofKadoka. “The gravel road and thehills was a work out. It’s tougherthan the cross country courses.”

Did the girls cheat in their train-ing? “No, but we caught the boyscheating,” she said with a laugh.

Carlson has awesome track record

In order to move forward the citywill hold a public hearing at theirnext council meeting on July 9. Thenotice will be advertised for twoweeks prior to the meeting. Thecity council can then vote on theplan. If approved, the taxpayerscan refer it to a vote.

Council discussion followed withBrad Jorgensen saying zoningdoesn’t start new businesses, theywill start anyway. Ryan Willert, onthe other hand, said this is a roadmap for the city.

The annual generator mainte-nance agreement with InterstatePower Systems was approved inthe amount of $525.

Through the water/sewer de-partment, Jackie Stilwell re-quested approval to be a member ofSD Warn. She said there are nofees.

Patrick Solon reported that the

city shop needs a new sewer line,which will require cutting throughthe floor and replacing the line. Healso said the oil burner furnacedoesn’t work and it would cost over$1,000 to fix it. Solon said BrianHanson will be getting prices on apropane furnace.

The culvert at the nursing homewas discussed. Solon said it is longand he doesn’t know if the city canget it cleaned out if it is plugged.

Colby Shuck asked what itwould take to get a couple morestreet lights in the darker areas oftown. The city will check with WestCentral Electric on costs.

The city pool is now open.Willert asked how often lifeguardsneed to be certified. He was toldevery two years.

Shuck inquired about councilmembers getting together to tourthe pool. If the entire council goes,

there will need to be a posting of aspecial meeting because therewould be a quorum. However, withonly three members interestedthey would not have a quorum andthey can do so as a committee.

A council committee had previ-ously recommended to hire KayReckling as girls’ softball coach.

Regarding the stolen baseballequipment last year, it was notedthat the restitution needs to bepaid to the clerk of courts and themoney given to the city.

Mayor Weller told the chief ofpolice that there is a problem withdogs running at large.

Church Calendar

Read 2 Samuel 8:1-16David served God in many capacities--from simple

shepherd boy to heroic ruler. Looking at the variousstages of his life, we can see clearly how his godly de-votion allowed the Lord to use him mightily.

Shepherd: David was anointed king long before commanding anything other than sheep (1 Sam. 16:1-13). Protecting the sheep was a job he took seriously, even killing a lion and a bear to do so. During thosedays, he learned to be strong and brave, and to take care of creatures weaker than himself. An early lifeof obedience to his human father taught him the humility he would later need in order to depend on God. Psalmist: David's writings reveal his hunger for God. He is open about issues like fear, depression, de-feat, loneliness, and sorrow. By describing valley experiences and communing with the Father in thenight watches, David provided us with intimate glimpses of the God he knew so well. Commander: Starting with David's encounter with Bathsheba, the king's life was plagued byheartache, pain, suffering, and conflict. David had sinned greatly, but God forgave him and continued touse him. He ruled Israel for 40 years, and his people called Jerusalem the "City of David." His restorationteaches us about the consequences of sin and the limitlessness of God's grace. King David served God's purpose when he lived, and continues to do so hundreds of years later--everyfollower of Christ has been blessed by David's obedience, service, and literary skill. He is a great exampleof what God can accomplish through us if we yield our life to Him.

Dear Editor, The front page of the KadokaPress dated June 7, 2012 featuresan article informing the public ofthe adoption of a “ComprehensivePlan” for Kadoka spanning theyears 2012 through 2037. The arti-cle states the adoption of the plan,with only 12 people in attendance,is intended to “clean up Kadoka”. Adoption by the zoning commit-tee was accomplished on Wednes-day, June 6, at 7:00 p.m. with theblessing of Justin Ostea of the Cen-tral South Dakota EnhancementDistrict. The next meeting of theKadoka City Council will be onJune 11, 2012 after the fact of com-mittee endorsement. I questionwhether the intent is to quietly slipthis important document past wecitizens without our knowledge.After visiting with my councilmanI am informed that there will befurther hearings before adoption. Ihope that citizens will seek to be-come informed and will voice theiropinions. This massive document consist-ing of some 52 pages authored byan environmental engineering

group is truly very comprehensive.It is not until you reach page 24that you get past the statistics andfind a discouraging word. Proposedwater improvements are$6,314,792.50. That is over $9,500that must come from each ofKadoka’s 657 residents. Improvewater towers, $222,500. Water dis-tribution $5,124,800. New watermeters $186,312.50. Leak detection$6,000. Clean existing system$83,950. Brick manhole replace-ment $671,500. Repair and rip rappond dikes, $793,000, and the listgoes on. Seems more than the 12people who attended should be con-cerned. Our city officials have probablybeen told that it has to be done andthat it will be forced upon us any-way. Further, they have been toldthat these proposals will not haveto be implemented unless fundingbecomes available. That is not true.Once that control has been surren-dered by adoption of this plan therewill be a host of inspectors andmore notices like the one we re-ceived about the sprinkler systemat the Kadoka Nursing Home.OSHA and EPA and other agencieswill be looking at us - and theydon’t care what “compliance” willcost. Consent of the governed re-quires that the people or theirelected officials must surrendertheir control. Thus adoption of thiscomprehensive plan is a form ofthat surrender. If adopted by thecouncil we are going to be lookingat a lot of taxes in the future to getus in “compliance” with future bu-reaucratic edicts. Get your copy of the comprehen-sive plan on the Internet as I did atwww.kadokasd.com. It will help usall understand what the govern-ment is planning to do to us - forour own good. As a victim of severalof these comprehensive plans inyears past I hope I will not sadlyhave to say “I told you so” when thebills come in.

One thing tends to lead to an-other. Take, for example, Kate’ssour-cream raisin bars that I pro-pose to make fairly soon for thecoffee time after church. Kate isn’there right now so we haven’t hadthose in a while, and they’re verygood. Anyway, in looking at therecipe, I noted that it took four eggyolks for the pudding part. No eggwhites are mentioned. That meansyou either have to throw thewhites away or figure out how touse them. Then it came to me—co-conut macaroons! Fayola lovesthose, and they’re fairly easy tomake except I don’t have any co-conut in the house. I’d better getsome. Then there is Mary’s carrot-cake recipe. I didn’t have any car-rots in the house, and when Ibought them I wondered, “How doI use up all these carrots?” sincethey were only available in a bigbag. Creamed carrots are good oc-casionally. You can also eat thethings raw, of course, like a rabbit.Unfortunately, they are much bet-ter than chocolate in the caloriedepartment but not so much whenit comes to taste. “Ah,” I thought,“a pot roast.” You know how youthrow some spuds, carrots andmaybe an onion in with the beefroast during its last hour or so.That can be quite fine. A pot roastit is. The roast, though, can’t all beeaten in one sitting. This mightlead to cold or hot-beef sand-wiches, but better yet a beef pie. Iget really hungry for those nowand again. Beef salad sandwicheswill work too if you’re too lazy tomake the pie but do have a bit ofambition. I just got done using up achicken as well. First you eat ithot, then cold, and then what?Meat pie maybe. Better yet,chicken ala king. That’s a menuitem that sometimes simply criesout to be made and served on toastor baking-powder biscuits withsome jam on extra pieces you don’tput under the chicken gravy. Then we come to plants. Westarted out with one pot of gerani-ums, two of tomatoes, and a fewmoss roses. Now we somehow have

six pots of geraniums and still justtwo tomatoes, but there are an ad-ditional five pots of various flower-ing green things withunpronounceable names. The scar-let variety of one of those is calledAudrey so we call it that. Two potsof bush-type cucumbers are in theworks as well. Whatever happenedto simplicity? Bookwork is another area thatgets you going on a certain coursethat is hard to stop. I just broughtthe church books up to date aswe’re having a board meeting onMonday and they might like a fi-nancial report. I did the books onpaper first and then the computer.There is no pressing need to do theranch and personal accounts, buthow do you stop when you havesuch a good start? I also find that cleaning and/ororganizing projects tend to go onand on once you start on them. Ican usually ignore piles of paperon my desk until things startfalling on the floor and being hardto find, and then I have to takesome action. Once started, though,the filing, throwing, and generalcleanup can go on and on. Often itis needed, of course, but it is hardto cease and desist. You canprogress to the desk drawers, thefile cabinets, the bookshelves onthe whole wall behind your desk,and so on. Similar things can hap-pen in the kitchen, basement, andall the outbuildings. The shop isbadly needing some cleaning andorganizing at present, and thatwill have to happen pretty soonand hopefully before the messdrives me right around the bend. Incidentally, wife Corinne ismore apt to get carried away oncleaning projects than I am, but itcan happen to me too from time totime. She, for some odd reason, al-ways likes her world clean andwell organized while I’m not quiteso sold on the idea. It then appears, that one shouldcarefully consider all the conse-quences before starting on almostanything. You might find yourselfon a course that is hard to alter orbring to a stop. I should know. I’vejust been dealing with excess eggwhites and carrots.

Off with your hat as theflag goes by!

And let the heart have its say:You’re man enough for

a tear in your eyeThat you will not wipe away.H.C. Brunner, The Old Flag

Sunday, June 3 Evan andDorothy Bligh enjoyed attending apicnic held in Blunt in honor ofBobby and Nancy Knutson andfamily of Wasilla, Alaska. Bobby isDorothy’s nephew. Monday was too hot to do any-thing else so James and MarjorieLetellier accompanied their daugh-ters, Sue Larson of Rapid City andJulie Letellier of Kilgore, to Valen-tine to shop for plants. Monday evening Jeff Spokes andhunting party of Waterloo, Iowa,arrived at the James Letelliers fora few days of prairie dog hunting. South Dakota Primary Electionwas held Tuesday at the TownshipHall. Norris area followed the statein the low turnout of 48 voters.Those serving on election boardwere: Torey Ring, superintendent,Leona WoodenKnife and SusanTaft. Evan Bligh served on theTodd County election board atParmelee. Our hearts go out to the familyof Alex “Bod” LIvermont, 66, whopassed away this last week. Maythe Lord comfort his dear familyand many brothers and sisters inour area at this time of loss. Ourprayers are with you. The Jason Burmas celebratedtheir anniversary by all going fish-ing at Bauman dam. They met upwith Angel Bauman and Tyrel Den-ton there and invited them to comehome for supper. James Letellier was amongthose helping Joe Kary brand hiscattle at Totton’s north of Norris.Others helping were a couple ofdoctors from the Indian HealthService from Washington, DC, andRev. Utecht and the LutheranYouth Group from Brandon andSioux Falls, SD. The group werehelping him with Daily VacationBible School in Parmelee and othercommunity projects includingpainting over graffiti. Followingthe branding, the group wereserved supper at the Lord’s War-riors Lutheran Church in Parmeleeby the church ladies. I am sure itwas a fun time for everybody, asJoe believes, everybody should getin on at least one branding in theirlife. I remember, Joe invitingWashington folks to his brandingwhen he served on election board,too. Bill and Marjorie Letellier ac-companied Colleen Letellier toValentine on Thursday. They en-

joyed the trip and got a lot of busi-ness done, too. Thursday, Susan Taft and Mor-gan made a trip to Kadoka for seed.The Tafts helped the Heinerts andCheyenne Schmidt brand. The prairie dog hunters thatwere at Ring’s stopped over to visita bit with Maxine Allard on Thurs-day afternoon. She was really gladto see them. Thursday evening, MarjorieAnne hosted an early birthday sup-per for James with the JasonBurma family and Julie Letellier ofKilgore as guests. It was plannedas a fried chicken picnic down thecreek, but the storm clouds gath-ered and before we could even getstarted it was raining. We receiveda good half an inch and then beforemorning on Friday we had aboutan inch altogether. The moisture issure needed with all the dry hotwinds lately. Sue Larson of RapidCity came on Friday to help herdad celebrate his birthday again.That must be a sign of age, whenone party isn’t enough. Susan Taft and Noreen Krog-man accompanied Carol Fergusonto a meeting sponsored by the Na-tional League of Postmasters inKadoka on Thursday night. Post-masters and PMR’s attended fromas far away as Vivian, Rosebud,Milesville and Wasta. Friday and Saturday, Jason, Ja-Lynn Burma and Beaver, Jade,Jakki and Jimmy left for BelleFourche to attend the “Birds atHome on the Range” bird watchingtour sponsored by the SD Grass-land Coalition and SDSU Exten-sion. They report a real fun time.They also got in on a rainstorm andhail at Rapid City and all the wayto Wall coming home. Friday, Dorothy Bligh washeaded to Kadoka for oats so Max-ine Allard went along for the ride.It was a nice chance to just get outof the house and to see the country-side which is refreshing for every-one’s spirit these days. A group of friends and neighborshelped Ray and Gail Berry brandon Saturday. The Berry’s especiallyenjoyed having their boys home,Brent from Jamestown, ND, andLoren from Rapid City. Ed and Carol Ferguson wereamong the neighbors helping brandat the Berry’s on Saturday. That af-ternoon, Carol visited her mother,Irene Kaufman. Evan and Dorothy Bligh accom-panied by Maxine Allard drove toRapid City on Saturday. Maxineenjoyed a visit with her son, Stan,and his wife, Ivy, and grandson,Daniel, and Jessie. That afternoonStan took her to visit her sister,Helen, and John Colton.

Uncle Evan and Aunt DorothyBligh were thrilled to be a part oftheir Knutson niece and nephewsreunion held in Rapid City at Rit-ten’s cabin in Boulder Canyon onSaturday. Kristi arrived from Min-neapolis, Bobby from Wasilla,Alaska, Andy from Denver andNick in Rapid City. The group en-joyed watching little Tanner’s T-ball game in the afternoon andlater paid a visit to a new down-town square. They hadn’t all beentogether since 2006. Sunday evening, Andrea Beck-with arrived home at Norris afterspending ten days in Honduraswith a missions group from Sun-shine Bible Academy. The group often including her sister Cassie,worked at a Youth for Christ Camp.Ask Andrea about diving off of cliffsby waterfalls and exploring cavesunder them. She is full of excitingtales. She is back at work today atthe Todd County Tribune. And bythe way, Honduras is the most dan-gerous country in the world forjournalist. Several folks from this areabraved the heat and attended theDevota Hutchinson household salein White River on Saturday after-noon. It was an enjoyable and edu-cational day as many items wereprecious to those of us in MelletteCounty alone. The sad part of the

whole event was that it meant De-vota is leaving town. She has been an important partof everything in White River all herlife and you could tell by the manyhistorical items at the sale thatWhite River is very much a part ofher, too. She was a great one tokeep folks informed and was intouch with everyone. Devota wrotethe local news for many years andworked on the centennial books.She was on the school reunion com-mittee last year, too. If it was hap-pening in Mellette County, chancesare that Devota was a part of it.She and her husband ran the Thor-oughbred Motel along the highwayand she served on the city councilfor many years; she was one of thebest promoters the town ever had. Devota Hutchinson will be mak-ing her home in Kearney, NE, sur-rounded by family. She will be ableto enjoy grandchildren and spoil lit-tle great grandchildren, too. Wewish you the best -- you certainlygave us your best. We will missyou! Remember to proudly fly yourflag on Thursday and don’t forgetthe 2nd Annual Buckin’ Horse FastPitch Tournament is slated to beginhere on Friday, too. The new balldiamond is green, mowed andready. See you there! Have a great week!

Crystal alsoshared that her son, Leonard, willbe a first-time father in December.Leonard is in Sioux Falls, so Crys-tal should be able to see the newestaddition to their family a littlemore often than the other grandba-bies!

Abby’s parentskept the girls for the weekend, soAbby and Colter were able to notonly celebrate Kip and Jessica’swedding, but also their first an-niversary! Happy anniversaryAbby and Colter!

She andMel played “tourist”, visiting BearCountry USA and doing some shop-ping. They picked up Edna on theirway home, and converged onto the

ranch house, joining the Davis’,and a very surprised Bob. He,Charlie, and TC had been up northof Philip synchronizing heifers allday, and had only been back for alittle while. Eve also smuggled home a littlespecial something for Abby.

Continued from front page“The one I was really wanting to

get was the 800,” she added. Atstate this year she broke JoAnneHerber’s 2:21 in 2:18.80 and shetook second place.

Last year Carlson broke the1600 meter record of 5:26.7 thatJoAnne Herber set 32 years agowith a time of 5:19.43.

In the 3200 meter all she wasgoing for was the Kadoka schoolrecord. Carlson broke the record ofCallie Ireland’s 11:55.2 with time of

11:53 and placed fourth at state.“It was hard at state to run the

400 and followup with the 800right afterwards,” Carlson said.She took third and second place, re-spectively.

And there’s the medley record of4:23.5 set by Tess Byrd, VictoriaLetellier, Shaley Herber and TiaCarlson on May 12. The medleyteam was rated number one goinginto state, however, Carlson did notcompete and the team did not qual-ify in the prelims.

She admits to watching the clockin track which helps keep her ontrack of how high to push herself.

She never cared for short relays.

“I wanted to just keep running,”she laughed thinking lap after lap.

Her high school career is overand she’s nervously looking for-ward to cross country at SDSU thisfall. “I have to run 400 miles thissummer which will be about sixmiles a day,” Carlson said.

The girls ran four miles daily forhigh school cross country. She al-ready misses running, not to men-tion the companionship andmotivation from her teammates.

Carlson has earned a half tu-ition at SDSU, where she will bestudying nursing and runningcross country and track.

“I’m nervous, but excited to com-pete at the college level where thefield of contenders will be so muchlarger,” Carlson said.

She’s ready, and maybe somedayshe will run a half marathon.

Listing her favorite sportingevents in order, track topped thelist, followed by cross country, bas-ketball and volleyball.

Carlson was honored to benamed the senior female athlete ofthe year.

Training and diet are importantto this runner. She said she eats alight breakfast and keeps herselfhydrated on track days. “Wellmaybe a half a banana,” she said.

But most important, she alwaysate her Grandma Lillian’s home-made noodles and chicken thenight before a meet.

“I will need to get her recipe totake to college,” she laughed.

Continued from front page Although moving up to the 145weight division this year, makingweight has not been such a concernfor him this year as previous years. “I really don’t follow any dietduring wrestling,” said Sudbeck.“At school I usually eat a lettucesalad for lunch and sometimes alite supper at night, but I’d chew alot of gum and eat ice cubes to keepmy mind off being hungry.”

But once I make weight andweigh in at the meet, I go have areally good meal,” he added. Along with the maintainingweight, Sudbeck commented thatlosing the weight really slows downthe quickness and speed on themat. “Training is so important andstaying in shape,” he said, “can behard on your body otherwise.” The sport of wrestling is often

31-11. And it was this placing that gavehim the opportunity to be a mem-ber of Team South Dakota andcompete at the Disney Duals, butalong with the placing, there is astrict criteria that each team mem-ber must meet. Many wrestlers are consideredfor the team, but the South DakotaAAU Association selects the finalteam members. In order to be con-sidered for the team, the wrestlersmust place at state, be willing tocontinue to train until the duals, berecommended by their peers andhave strong academic scores, alongwith several other requirements. Team South Dakota will com-pete in the Community DII divisionand more than 115 teams of 14wrestlers per team have registered. To prepare for the duals, Sud-beck has been training with CoachDonnely in Philip twice a week, butas time draws near, that will in-crease. On June 26, Sudbeck will travelto Beresford, SD, for weigh-in andhe will be competing in the 145weight division. After some prac-tice there, the team will leave onJune 28 for Orlando, FL. “Not knowing anyone on theteam or the coach makes me worrysome, but I’m really excited to go,”said Sudbeck. Once in Florida, the teams willhave additional practice time andcompetition will be held on June 30through July 3. “After the wrestling is over, wealso get the chance to go to a coupleof amusement parks,” said Sud-beck, “which will be good to havesome fun. “I’m excited go, a little nervous,but regardless of how I wrestle,whether I win a match or not, theexperience will be worth it,” con-cluded Sudbeck.

viewed as an individual sport, whatyou put in it, is what you get out ofit. “Wrestling is a two part sport,”he said, “it is part individual andpart team. You need to have the drive towork hard, but you also have yourteammates there working just ashard with you and cheering for youalong the mat.” At each wrestling match individ-ual scores are kept, but team scoresare also compiled. “Our coach (Matt Donnely) is al-ways good with however you do onthe mat, but when the team scoreshigh, it makes him pretty happy.” Wrestling is a challenging sport,but Sudbeck has been inspired bythose around him. “My cousin, James, has been areal motivator for me, along withmy coaches,” said Sudbeck, “andmy parents have always been thereand encouraged me, too. “I really like wrestling, but inthe future and considering collegesports, I’d like to maybe pursuefootball,” said Sudbeck, “but that’sa long ways off, so who knows,” hesaid. But as he continues to be a com-petitor on the mat, Sudbeck contin-ues to succeed. As a sophomore Sudbeck quali-fied for the SD State Tournamentin the 145 weight division.Wrestling at the state level wastough, but Sudbeck wrestledstrong, clinched fourth place andended his season with a record of

Rodeo fans should saddle up andhead to White River, SD on Satur-day, June 30, 2012. That is the datescheduled for the second annualSaddle Bronc Chute-Out, hosted bythe Michael Glynn Memorial Coali-tion. This year’s event will be held atnight, under the arena lights. “Michael always loved to rideunder lights,” Joyce Glynn said.“We installed the lights at theWhite River arena a few years agoas a memorial to him. He would bethrilled to know this event will nowbe held at night, under his lights.”The bronc riding will begin at 6:30p.m. CT with the first round cal-cutta. Twenty-five cowboys willride in this first round, with the top12 combing back for the secondround, and another chance to takehome some prize money. The final round will consist ofthe top 6 riders from the secondround. A calcutta will be held for eachround of riding. Prize money will also be given tothe top riders in each round. With a $5,000 purse added tothe contestant’s entry fees, therewill be a total of $7,500 in prizemoney awarded throughout thethree rounds. Last year, eight of the twenty-five cowboys took home prizemoney of at least $400. The topwinner ended up with total win-nings of nearly $2,400! “This year we already have con-testants from three states regis-tered,” Glynn said. “So far, we’vegot riders coming from SouthDakota, Nebraska and Wyoming.”As of now, the 25 slots for riders arefilled, but other prospective con-testants are encouraged to contactthe entry office and be placed onstand-by in case someone ends upcancelling before June 30. Some of the current contestantsregistered include Jade Blackwell,who is a former Arizona State HighSchool saddle bronc champion, andcurrently riding in the collegiate fi-nals. Also entered is Dillon Nipper,who is a consistent finalist in theRocky Mountain Bronc Riders As-sociation. Brothers Ty and Derek Kennerare entered again this year. Theywere the top prize winners lastyear, and are top contenders atnearly every rodeo they compete at.Round that out with names such asEric Addison, Lane Hall, ChaseMiller, Wyatt Kammemer, LaneStirling, Tyson Beck and Cory Job-gen, (just to name a few) all ridingHollenbeck Rodeo Co. horses, andyou can be assured of seeing somegreat saddle bronc action. This event, as all events hostedby the Michael Glynn MemorialCoalition, is alcohol-free. “We know the tragic conse-quences of drinking, and drinking

and driving,” Glynn explains. “Wewant, especially young people, toknow that you can have a lot of fun,even at a rodeo, without having al-cohol involved. We don’t want any-one to drive away under theinfluence of alcohol.” Representatives from The RodeoNews magazine plan on being atthe Chute-Out this year, and willfeature the Michael Glynn Memo-rial Coalition and winners of theSaddle Bronc Chute-Out in an up-coming edition of the magazine.The Rodeo News is the official mag-azine of a large number of highschool, state, Little Britches andamateur rodeo associations. “They heard about this event,and were really moved by the factthat we’re determined to keep it al-cohol-free,” Glynn said. “We’re ex-cited about the national exposurethey will give this event!” In addition to prize money forcontestants, there will be prizesand gifts for spectators too. “We’ve got some really fun, andhealthy gifts lined up for everyonewho comes through the gate,” sheadds. “And just like last year, we’llbe giving free root beer floats toeveryone who agrees to stay alco-hol-free the whole weekend.” Gate admission is $10 for adults,and $5 for youth ages 6-12; up toage 5 is free. Concessions will beavailable on the grounds. No drugsor alcohol will be allowed, nor willanyone be allowed in who appearsto be under the influence of alcohol.For more information, you can con-tact Roger or Joyce Glynn at 344-2533 or 441-5389, or e-mailrjglynn@gwtc.net The Michael Glynn MemorialCoalition was formed following thedeath of Michael Glynn in 2006,who died in an alcohol-related carcrash the morning after his highschool graduation.

by Nancy HaighTradition – doing what has al-

ways been done, but is it the rightway? Are new practices a better ap-proach?

In many instances, one genera-tion has taught the next generationthat working livestock meanspushing, yelling and prodding theanimals. Veterinarian Dr. TomNoffsinger’s approach is vastly dif-ferent with results that are payingoff tremendously.

Noffsinger said experiencethrough his vet practice and work-ing with feedlots he noticed howfeedlots with similar cattle yieldeddifferent results. The differenceswere in efficiency and health; withthe weather conditions, implantsand health being the same. He said

the difference was in the peoplewho handled the cattle.

Noffsinger said people can begood for cattle or people can be bad.How people treat the cattle has animpact on the animals.

Noffsinger noted that livestockwill tell a person what they wantthrough body motions. It is learn-ing that communication that Noff-singer focused on at the Tri-CountyAg Day at the South Dakota StateUniversity Cottonwood Range andLivestock Research Station west ofPhilip, June 8.

Noffsinger stressed that a personshould not get behind the herd andpush. “It is easier to pull thanpush,” he said. He said animalswill ask for guidance, some more sothan others, until they all learn to

trust the person. Noffsinger said asa person walks into a herd one an-imal or more will focus on the per-son. He said to use that animal tolead the rest. “If the front animal isstopped, no use pushing from theback.”

Noffsinger touched on America’sperception of the cattle industry.“Inappropriate handling episodesoccur when handlers don’t under-stand how to perform the tasks,” hesaid. “Why do people do thesethings? Because they haven’t beentrained and are doing things theyshouldn’t be doing in the first place.We’ve got to take care of this.”

To correct this, Noffsingerdemonstrated some handling as-pects on video and using audiencemembers. “If you can’t see the an-imal’s eye, you are in the wrongplace. Cattle die to see you,” hesaid. Where they can see you bestis the front, the worst, is straightbehind. “The animal can’t stand tohave you behind and will turn tosee you,” he said. A producer needsto communicate to the animal’seye. He stressed that you didn’twant to look the animal in the eye,but look at them to get their atten-tion.

Noffsinger said four things comeinto play in working with animals –the person’s body position, theirdistance from an animal, the angleand direction the person moves andthe speed at which the personmoves.

Animals generally should beworked at a 45 degree angle, this isso they can see the person with oneeye while watching the other sidewith the opposite eye. “If theywatch you with both eyes, theymistrust you,” he said. The deeperthe angle, the more pressure. Reg-ulating speed is done with parallelmotion. “It may take 10 feet or itmay take a half mile,” he said.

“Cattle have poor depth percep-tion. Don’t stand still, move slightlyso they can see you,” said Noff-singer. Moving slightly, he said, isto move weight back and forth onthe feet. “A full step is too much.”

Noffsinger noted that if you wantan animal to move forward, rubfrom the point of the shouldersdown the back. To move it back-wards, start at the rump and rubforward. He said to also watch amomma cow get up her newborncalf. The momma cow will encour-age the newborn calf to get up bylicking from back to front. Thenwhen the calf is raising up, shelicks from the front to back.

When the growth of the animal isinterrupted, such as at weaningtime, it can take weeks for that an-

imal to start performing again.A producer needs to start sensi-

tizing the calf as soon as it is bornto do what we want. “It’s all men-tality,” he said. Start training themat birth – train them for change ofaddress, first at birth, next is goingout to pasture, and finally weaning.

Noffsinger spoke of how one pro-ducer, prior to branding and wean-ing, would separate the pairs thefirst night, reunite them the nextmorning, separate them again thesecond night, and then brand orwean the third morning. He notedthe calves adjusted to the separa-tion much easier.

Local producer Pat Guptill hasused Noffsinger’s approach suc-cessfully in his operation. The agday attendees traveled to whereGuptill had heifers pastured on ahigh intensity grazing rotation.

With high intensity grazing, theanimals are kept in a smaller pas-ture and moved on a regular sched-ule. The acreage varies each yearon pasture conditions and numberof animals.

Guptill said the old way requireda half day of labor, with humansand animals both being tired at theend. This way, he said, he and oneother person can have the animalsmoved and a new fence up within30 minutes. The time is shortenedconsiderably if the fence doesn’thave to be moved.

Guptill typically moves the cattleat about the same time of day. Theday of the demonstration the cowswere waiting quietly in the corner.Guptill had the electric fence open,the cattle moved and the electricfence back up in five to 10 minutes.The cattle moved quietly throughthe hole and immediately with nourging from Guptill. Noffsinger ob-served that the cows went right tograzing and were grazing with whothey wanted to graze with; withoutupsetting anything at all.

Guptill noted that it takes aboutthree days to train the cattle, al-though some take a little longer totrust him.

Noffsinger said he learned fromBud Williams, Independence, Kan.,one of the first to teach low stresslivestock handling techniques. Hesaid Williams learned from watch-ing kelpie and border collies. “Whathe teaches us is what is deep insidea border collie or kelpie.” He alsoearns the animal’s trust.

Noffsinger suggested producerscheck out Internet websiteswww.stockmanship.com (Williams’website); www.cattlexpressions.com; and beefcattleinstitute.org.Videos of Noffsinger’s techniquecan also be found on You Tube.

Livestock handling practices discussed

at Tri County Ag Day near Cottonwood

Dr. Tom Noffsinger, left, presented an alternate method of handling live-

stock which breaks away from the traditional methods. Noffsinger was

the featured speaker at the Tri-County Ag Day held at the Cotonwood re-

searach station west of Philip June 8.

Pat Guptill, Quinn, moves his electric fence so that a group of heifers can change pastures. A tour of Guptill’s operation was part of the Tri-County

Ag Day. Guptill moves the heifers every day at about the same time and they were waiting for him and moved easily into the next pasture.

Fertility is influenced by manyfactors, and one of the best meth-ods to look at factors that influencefertility is with the 'Equation of Re-production,' says George Perry,SDSU Extension Beef Reproduc-tive Management Specialist. Perry explains that the 'Equa-tion of Reproduction' includes thefollowing four areas: •Percentage of animals detectedin standing estrus and insemi-nated; •Inseminator efficiency; •Fertility level of the semenand; •Fertility level of the herd. Standing estrus was the focus ofthe first article in this four-part se-ries on managing for reproductivesuccess released by SDSU Exten-sion. This is the second article inthe series and will discuss insemi-nator efficiency.

Inseminator Efficiency Cows not detected in estrus haveno opportunity to conceive. In arti-ficial insemination systems, thatopportunity to conceive when a cowis detected in estrus also dependson another limiting factor, "Insem-inator Efficiency," Perry says. Based on research, Perry saysthat fertilization rates don't differbetween animals following naturalservice or artificial insemination(AI). He points to a study whichflushed embryos following insemi-nation. The data showed that fer-tilization rates following naturalservice or artificial insemination(AI) in cattle range from 89 to 100percent. Furthermore, when preg-nancy rates from 13,942 first serv-ice artificial inseminations werecompared to 6,310 first services bynatural service, no difference wasdetected between artificial insemi-nation and natural service. "With AI, inseminator efficiencyis influenced by semen handlingand the ability of the technician todeposit semen in the correct loca-tion," Perry said. To improve semen handling, heencourages cattle producers tohave a detailed inventory of semeneasily accessible, so that straws

may be located and removed fromthe tank quickly to avoid exposureof semen to ambient temperature. "When removing a straw from aliquid nitrogen refrigerator, it isimperative that the techniciankeep the canister, cane and unusedsemen straws as low as possible inthe neck of the tank," Perry said. He adds that it is best to keep allunused straws below the frost-linein the neck of the tank. The tem-perature of liquid nitrogen in asemen tank is -196 degrees Celsius(C) (-326 degrees Fahrenheit, (F)).Sperm injury (as judged by spermmotility) occurs at temperatures aswarm as -79 C (-110 F), and injuryto sperm cannot be corrected by re-turning semen to the liquid nitro-gen.

Site of Deposition Many studies have comparedsite of deposition on pregnancy suc-cess, says Perry. "Some studies have reported in-creased conception rates whensemen was deposited in the uterinehorns rather than the uterine body,but other studies have reported nodifference in fertility when compar-ing uterine body and uterine horninseminations," he said. "Further-more, an inseminator and site ofsemen deposition interaction hasbeen reported, with evidence of ei-ther an increase, decrease, or no ef-fect of uterine horn deposition onconception rate for individual in-seminators." Perry says it is not clear whysome studies have shown an ad-vantage following uterine horn in-semination while others have not. "A possible explanation for thepositive effect of uterine horn in-seminations may be related to theminimization or elimination of cer-vical semen deposition," he said."Studies have reported cervical in-semination errors account for ap-proximately 20 percent ofattempted uterine body deposi-tions, and cervical insemination re-sulted in at least a 10 percentdecrease in fertility when com-pared with deposition of semen inthe uterine body." Based on this information, Perrysays in order to maximize concep-tion rates, AI technicians must con-tinue to manipulate thereproductive tract until the tip ofthe AI gun is past the cervix anddeposition into the uterus can beaccomplished. "Clearly, all AI technicians mustdevelop sufficient skill to recognizewhen the tip of the AI gun remainsin the cervix," he said.

Simultaneous Thawing When numerous cows must be

inseminated on a given day, multi-ple straws of semen are routinelythawed simultaneously to facilitateAI. Research from the University ofIdaho determined simultaneousthawing and sequence of insemina-tion (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th), andelapsed time from initial thaw tocompletion of fourth AI had no ef-fect on conception rate within in-seminator group; however averageconception rate differed betweengroups which were treated by aprofessional AI technician andthose serviced by a herdsman-in-seminator (45% vs. 27%, respec-tively). The researched looked at the fol-lowing: a) The effect of simultaneousthawing of multiple 0.5-mL strawsof semen and sequence of insemi-nation (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th) on con-ception rates; b) Whether conception ratesachieved following AI by profes-sional AI technicians (PAI) andherdsman-inseminators (HI) dif-fered; c) The effect of elapsed time frominitiation of thawing straws ofsemen to seminal deposition onconception rates. Perry says this research rein-forces the important role handlingplays in conception.He adds that conception rates aremost likely maximized when per-sonnel: a) Follow proper procedures forthawing semen; b) Prevent direct straw-to-strawcontact during thawing of multiplestraws; simultaneously to avoid de-creased post-thaw sperm viabilityas a result of straws sticking to-gether; c) Use appropriate hygienic pro-cedures; d) Maintain thermal protectionof straws during AI gun assemblyand transport to the cow; e) Deposit semen in the uterus ofthe cow within approximately 15minutes after thawing.

Anytime Exercises Physical activity is vital to goodhealth and disease prevention. Ac-cording to the CDC (Centers forDisease Control), increased physi-cal activity can help you controlyour weight, improve your mentalhealth, reduce your risk of disease,strengthen your bones and mus-cles, and increase your chances ofliving longer. The CDC recommends thatevery adult should try to partici-pate in a weekly total of at leasttwo hours and thirty minutes (150minutes) of moderate physical ac-tivity. Try to do at least 10 min-utes of activity at a time, shorterbursts of activity will not have thesame health benefits. According to the U.S. Depart-ment of Human Services, morethan 60% of U.S. adults do not par-ticipate in the recommendedamounts of physical activity and25% are not active at all. Manypeople do not feel as though theyare able to participate in physicalactivities because they are unableto fit in thirty minutes of exerciseper day or they don’t have the re-sources to do so. Everyone can benefit from beingphysically active. Physical activityimproves quality of life and can

help reduce the risk of cardiovas-cular disease, type 2 diabetes andsome cancers. Strength trainingactivities help people gain andmaintain muscle mass and buildstrong bones. Studies have shownthat mental health is often im-proved with physical activity. Fitting physical activity into adaily routine can be as easy as tak-ing a brisk 10 minute walk. Otherways to increase physical activityinclude anytime activities such aswalking the dog, mowing the lawnwith a push mower, playing bas-ketball, planting and caring for avegetable or flower garden, playwith the kids, when shopping at amall--park as far away as possible,or try using a rake instead of a leafblower. Lastly, don’t forget to cleanyour house. Vacuuming, moppingand dusting can be quite a workout. Being physically active and eat-ing healthy are essential to ouroverall health. We cannot gain thefull benefits of one without doingthe other. So plan to eat well andstay active. It is never too late tostart exercising regularly.

South Dakota faces the possibil-ity of destructive grasshopper out-breaks every year, and predictingthose outbreaks before they hap-pen can be challenging. Experts look at current weatherconditions and survey data fromprevious years to predict whatmight happen this year. While awidespread outbreak is unlikely,the potential is definitely there forisolated problem areas across thestate. Early scouting is the key to ef-fectively controlling problemgrasshoppers. Grasshoppers go through fivenymphal stages before adulthood.They are most susceptible to treat-ments as nymphs. Once grasshop-pers reach adulthood, they aremuch tougher to control. Since theybegin laying eggs immediately,spraying too late will not breaktheir life cycle. Grasshopper densities acrossSouth Dakota reached historic lev-els in the summer of 2010. Lastyear threatened to be one of theworst grasshopper years since theearly 1930s, but Mother Nature in-tervened. Early warmth followedby a cool wet May and June helpedkeep the grasshoppers in checknaturally. Newly hatched grasshoppers arevery susceptible to cold, wetweather that increases the preva-lence of bacteria and disease thatcan cause mortality. Althoughthose weather patterns helped tolimit early hatching species, latehatching species thrived with sur-plus vegetation, moderate temper-atures, and a late frost. Perfectconditions late last summer willlikely result in escalatinggrasshopper population numbersthis summer. Reports have been received inthe past two weeks of hatchesstarting in the southern tier ofSouth Dakota counties and pro-gressing north. If the hatch pro-gresses at a normal pace, mid-Junewill be the perfect time for controlactivities. The South Dakota Departmentof Agriculture, USDA Animal andPlant Health Inspection Service,and SDSU Extension Service willbe collaborating to keep the publicinformed about grasshopper condi-tions and provide producers withtailored information on grasshop-per treatment options. Agriculture is South Dakota'sNo. 1 industry, generating nearly$21 billion in annual economic ac-tivity and employing more than80,000 South Dakotans. The South

Dakota Department of Agricul-ture's mission is to promote, pro-tect, preserve and improve thisindustry for today and tomorrow.Visit us online at http://sdda.sd.govor follow us on Facebook and Twit-ter.
