quest it.Commissioner Denke inquired

Sherriff Ray Clements Jr. metwith the commissioners and saidthat Deputy Sheriff DallasKendrick is doing well in the posi-tion.

Clements stated that they hadreceived a request for assistancewith a matter from the OglalaSioux Tribe Police Department.Since the location of the call wasclose to where Paul Williams lives,he requested that Williams re-spond to help.

Discussion was held on runningblue emergency lights. Clementssaid that with blue lights, thedriver is requesting the right-of-way, but does not have the right toexceed the speed limit or not stopat stop signs.

The commissioners entered in toexecutive session for personnelmatters at 9:27 a.m. with Johnstonpresent. When returning to opensession at 10:15, no action wastaken.

Verda Anderson $8.00 per hour towork in the auditors office for thisday.

John Siedschlaw addressed the

commissioners, requesting ap-proval of organizing a volunteerfire and rescue department in Wan-blee.

Siedschlaw stated that there are23 members, officers have beenelected, and with county approval,they could then submit their by-laws as a final step. Once approvedthe volunteer members would at-tend training and the departmentwould become certified.

Twiss said that the other localvolunteer fire departments hadstated they were in favor of the ad-ditional fire department, and theother departments are quite a fewmiles away.

Motion carried to support andapprove Wanblee Volunteer FireDepartment and Rescue.

A hearing was held for the addi-tion of a road to the county high-way department. The request wassubmitted by Jeff Willert for three-

quarters of a mile of road whichwill lead to his residence. Willertstated that he was mainly con-cerned with snow removal andditches being mowed.

Willert noted that part of theroad would need built up, two orthree culverts would be needed andhe had two cattle gaurds to install.

Bennett stated that since he hascame on the board he was not infavor of adding any more roads tothe system.

Johnston stated that he was infavor of adding the road so in casethere was an emergency, the emer-gency vehicles could get to thehouse.

Motion carried to add the road tothe highway system, with Bennettcasting a no vote.

Veryl Prokop addressed the com-missioners concerning the road CS29 which leads to the former OttoProkop home, south of Kadokaalong SD Highway 73.

Although no one is living there

currently, several people use thatroad to gain access to the adjoiningland and Veryl Prokop has cattlethere.

The river has cut the banksaway and is now at the edge of theroad. The width of the road is nar-row and accessing the place withpickup and horse trailer is gettingdifficult.

Craig Coller with West River Ex-cavation presented a plan to movethe road in the amount of $24,999.

The commissioners agreed to

enter in to a contract with WestRiver Excavation for the road con-struction and if culverts are neededfor the project, the county agreed toprovide them.

In addition to moving the road,a section of the electrical line willalso need to be relocated. It wasquestioned whether West Central

Electric would charge for this andwho would be responsible for thosecharges. If the road is left where itis, the pole is near the edge of thebank. More information will needto be gathered to determine the re-sponsible party.

Aaron Richardson, who is serv-ing as highway superintendent onan intern basis, stated that thescreener that has been rented fromMorris, Inc. is at the Sharp pit andthe gravel is not good.

Richardson stated that rentingthe screener and trying to do itthemselves has been hard. He saidthat they are short employees andin order to do it, they are handlingthe gravel three times and do nothave the equipment to do it right.

Following discussion, the com-missioners requested Richardsonto contact Morris Inc. to come andget the screener and contact West-

ern Construction to see if theywould be interested in screeningand crushing gravel at the currentbid amounts.

County approves Wanblee volunteer

fire department, delays library building

A public meeting was held Mon-day, October 8 at the KadokaSchool Great Hall to discuss the po-tential building project of a newgymnasium.

Superintendent Jamie Hermannaddressed those in attendance stat-ing that the building committeehas meet and examined to see ifthere is a need for another gym fa-

cility and is it financially possible.The need is definitely there,

said Hermann referring to theamount of hours that the currentauditorium is used.

PE classes, girls and boys bas-ketball practice for grades fifththrough twelfth, games, tourna-ments and community events fillup the auditorium.

For everyone to have gymspace, practices for the youngerstudents start at 6 a.m., whichmakes for a long day, stated Her-mann, especially if the studentslive in the country and have totravel to school.

Currently within the schoolbudget a fund is established forcapital outlay project that has abalance of $488,000.

The school also received funds ina settlement agreement to repairthe Great Hall. After the repairs

are finished there will be approxi-mately $175,000 that could usedfor this project.

Total cost of the project is un-known at this time. The optionsthat the facility could offer (class-rooms, offices, weight room, walk-ing track, kitchen, etc.) willdetermine the final price.

A standard gym would consist of

approximately 10,000 square feetand gym with a mezzanine wouldbe closer to 15,000 square feet.

Cost projections range from$138 per square foot with no designcost and $158 per square foot withall costs included. A constructioncompany roughly estimates thatthe total project would cost from1.5 to 2.7 million, while an engi-neering firm estimates costs rang-ing from 1.05 to 2.5 million.

With the cost exceeding the fund

amount available, grants, dona-tions and fundraising will also bepursued.

The South Dakota Legislatorsset the levy amounts, said Her-mann, and at this time there is noneed to raise taxes to accomplishthis project.

The main obstacle of the projectis location. Several locations arebeing considered, but where it isbuilt, also determines the use. If itis close to the school the possibilityof use during school hours increase.But for this size of building, quite abit of space is needed.

Time frame from the start ofconstruction, to a finished buildingwould be approximately ninemonths.

Several people in attendancevoiced support for the new facilityand noted that the need is great, ithas been a need for many years,

and current interest rates are low.Hermann stated that the next

step in moving forward would be todeveloped a committee, and askedif anyone is interested in serving onthe committee to please indicate so.Once the committee is established,comments from the meeting will bereviewed and proceeding to the de-sign phase will occur.

Meals for

the Elderly

John 21:15-19All of us make tracks through the valley of fail-

ure. Then the key question is, What we will donext? Sadly, many believers who stumble give up

a vibrant kingdom-serving life for a defeated existence. But failure can also be a chance for anew beginning of living in Christ's strength.

In pride, Peter thought his faith was the strongest of all the disciples' and swore that even ifthe others left Jesus, he never would (Mark 14:29). Yet when the time of testing came, he deniedeven knowing Christ--and did so three times (Matt. 26:69-75). Satan hoped the disciple wouldbe so wounded by his own disloyalty that his faith would be undermined by shame, condemna-tion, and despair.

Likewise, when the Enemy sifts believers today, his goal is for us to become shelved and inef-fective for God's kingdom. That's why he goes after our strengths, especially the areas in whichwe proudly consider ourselves invincible. But if we're willing, the Lord can use our failures todo spiritual housecleaning, as He did in Peter's life. After the resurrection, Jesus met with thedisciple personally and restored him, preparing him to become a great leader in the early church.He made it clear that Peter's potential to serve was defined, not by failure, but by his unwaveringlove for Christ.

Peter laid down his pride, received the healing Jesus offered, and put on courage with theHoly Spirit's help. He then risked his life fearlessly to further the gospel, and many came toChrist through his example. Failure was the catalyst that grew in him a stronger, more authentic

faith.

Pasture, rangeland and forage(PRF) insurance is available for2013 in South Dakota based on aRainfall Index (RI). Haying andgrazing needs can be coveredagainst moisture shortages usingPRF-RI, says Matthew Diersen,SDSU Extension Risk & BusinessManagement Specialist.

"While producers would preferto be paid if they did not have for-age, PRF-RI relies on a close histor-ical relationship between rainfalltiming and forage productionamounts," Diersen said.

He explains that producers canguard against low precipitationduring insured intervals for local-ized grids specific to haying orgrazing needs. Rainfall is grid-leveland not farm- or ranch-level whenmeasured.

November 15, 2012 is the dead-line to purchase or change coveragefor the 2013 calendar year.

Diersen explains that the PRF-RI coverage available in SouthDakota mirrors pasture rents (peracre) for grazing.

"The coverage is constant at$204.23 per acre for haying. In theevent that precipitation is low dur-ing an insured interval, producerscould use indemnity payments toreplace income or to purchase re-

placement feed," he said. "Unfortu-nately the coverage does notincrease should prices move higherduring the insured year."

Encouraging indicators at thestate level suggest that PRF-RIwould work well to manage forageproduction risk. In years withbelow-average rainfall in SouthDakota the hay yield was also oftenbelow-average. In particular, no-table drought years in SouthDakota (1976, 1988, 2002 and2006) had sharply lower rainfall to-tals and hay yields.

According to the Census of Agri-culture there were 23 million acresin permanent pasture and range-

land across South Dakota in 2007.PRF has been available in SouthDakota since the 2007 crop yearusing a vegetation index, but only540,000 acres were insured withPRF in 2012.

"As detailed in the crop insur-ance provisions, catastrophic cover-age is not available for PRF. Thus,producers may also purchase Non-insured Disaster Assistance Pro-gram (NAP) coverage for thepasture, rangeland, and non-alfalfahayland," Diersen said.

He says it is up to producers todecide whether the insurance isnecessary and valuable.

"The high subsidy rate likelygives the coverage value, but thereare no absolute guarantees thatprecipitation shortages will alwaysline up with forage needs," he said.

Premiums for PRF-RI vary bycounty, type, coverage level, prac-tice/interval, and grid location. Pro-ducers have to pick a coverage levelfrom 70 to 90 percent of the gridbase. A default to consider would bethe 70 percent level as it has thehighest subsidy rate. Producersalso have to pick a productivitylevel from 60 percent to 150 per-cent of the county base. This allowsfor intra-county variability in soiltype, grade, and forage type.

Diersen explains that there aremany ways to allocate coverage.

"Not all acres need to be insured.Selected acres are allocated across11 two-month intervals. Intervalscannot overlap a given month. Atmost 70 percent and no fewer than10 percent of acres can be in a sin-gle interval," he said. "Ideally, aproducer will know key monthsthat a lack of precipitation wouldresult in less forage production."

the grant application can not bedone.

The grant application can besubmitted at later time, but thegrant only provides funding for50% of the total project. The projectis estimated at $300,000, and thecounty does not have $150,000 forthe remaining costs.

The county could pass an opt-outfor the library, but the deadline todo this was in July. If the opt-out ispursued, it would need to be ap-proved by July 2013, which wouldbe assessed in 2014, but revenuefrom the opt-out would not be col-lected until 2015.

In conclusion, whether thecounty receives the grant or ob-tains a loan from a lending com-pany, it would be quite some timebefore the county would have rev-enue to pay for the library project.

The commissioners stated thatdue to a lack of interest, the grantwould not be pursued at this time.

The commissioners entered ex-ecutive session at 5:05 p.m. for per-sonnel matters with Johnston andWilson in attendance. They re-turned to open session at 5:07 p.m.with no action taken.

When living at home becomesdifficult, most people would ratherremain in a home-like setting thanmove to an assisted living center.In moments like this, the Veterans

Affairs Medical Foster Home pro-gram can help.

Some veterans do not have any-one they can live with when theyneed a higher level of care, said

Michelle Hough, MFH coordinatorat VA Black Hills Health Care Sys-tem For many, that has meantgoing into a facility. MFH offersthem the option of staying in ahome setting, with the care theyneed and deserve.

MFH provides an alternative tonursing home placement for a vet-eran who may be chronically or ter-minally ill with limited socialsupport. The program begins whena private individual or couple de-cides they want to become care-givers, and take veterans into theirhome. VA ensures the home andcaregivers meet high standardsthrough inspections, background

checks, references and CPR andfirst aid certifications.

Once the home and caregiversare approved, the MFH coordinatorwill work with veterans and familymembers towards placement. Thisinvolves the veteran, and any fam-ily members, visiting the MFH andmeeting the caregivers to ensure agood fit.

When a veteran is placed in ahome, they are assisted throughthe VA home based primary careprogram. This program provides ateam of medical professionals whooffer primary care in the home set-ting. The veteran pays the care-giver directly and VA continues toprovide the medical care and over-sight.

The MFH program at VABHHCS was officially certified Au-gust 29. There is currently one ap-proved home in the Black Hillswith two veterans placed. If inter-ested in becoming a caregiver to aveteran in need, contact Gary Mc-Clure at 605-745-2000, extension92325.

The Internal Revenue Servicehas urged taxpayers whose tax-fil-

ing extension runs out on Oct. 15 todouble check their returns foroften-overlooked tax benefits andthen file their returns electroni-cally using IRS e-file or theFreeFile system.

Many of the more than 11 mil-lion taxpayers who requested anautomatic six-month extension thisyear have yet to file. Though Oct.15 is the last day for most people,some still have more time, includ-ing members of the military andothers serving in Iraq, Afghanistanor other combat zone localities whotypically have until at least 180days after they leave the combatzone to both file returns and payany taxes due. People with exten-sions in parts of Louisiana andMississippiaffected by HurricaneIsaac also have more time, untilJan. 11, 2013, to file and pay.

Check Out Tax Benefits

Before filing, the IRS encour-ages taxpayers to take a moment tosee if they qualify for these andother often-overlookedcredits anddeductions:

Benefits for low-and moderate-income workers and families, espe-cially the Earned Income TaxCredit. The special EITC Assistantcan help taxpayers see if theyre el-igible.

Savers credit, claimed on Form8880, for low-and moderate-incomeworkers who contributed to a re-tirement plan, such as an IRA or401(k.

American Opportunity TaxCredit, claimed on Form 8863, andother education tax benefits forparents and college students.

E-file Now: Its Fast,Easy and Often Free

The IRS urged taxpayers tochoose the speed and convenienceof electronic filing. IRS e-file is fast,accurate and secure, making it anideal option for those rushing tomeet the Oct. 15 deadline. The taxagency verifies receipt of an e-filedreturn, and people who file elec-tronically make fewer mistakes too.

Everyone can use Free File, ei-ther the brand-name software, of-fered by IRS commercial partnersto individuals and families with in-comes of $57,000 or less, or onlinefillable forms, the electronic ver-sion of IRS paper forms available totaxpayers at all income levels.

Taxpayers who purchase theirown software can also choose e-file,and most paid tax preparers arenow required to file their clientsreturns electronically.

Anyone expecting a refund canget it sooner by choosing direct de-posit. Taxpayers can choose to havetheir refunds deposited into asmany as three accounts. See Form

8888 for details.Quick and Easy

Payment OptionsFor unemployed workers who

filed Form 1127-A and qualified toget an extension to pay their 2011

federal income tax, Oct. 15 is alsothe last day to pay what they owe,including interest at the rate of 3percent per year, compoundeddaily. Doing so will avoid the late-payment penalty, normally 0.5 per-cent per month.

Taxpayers can e-pay what theyowe, either online or by phone,through the Electronic Federal TaxPayment System(EFTPS), by elec-tronic funds withdrawal or with acredit or debit card. There is no IRSfee for any of these services, but fordebit and credit card paymentsonly, the private-sector card proces-sors do charge a convenience fee.For those who itemize their deduc-tions, these fees can be claimed onSchedule A Line 23. Those whochoose to pay by check or moneyorder should make the paymentout to the United States Treas-ury.

Taxpayers with extensionsshould file their returns by Oct. 15,even if they cant pay the fullamount due. Doing so will avoidthe late-filing penalty, normallyfive percent per month, that wouldotherwise apply to any unpaid bal-ance after Oct. 15. However, inter-est and late-payment penalties willcontinue to accrue.

Fresh Start forStruggling Taxpayers

In many cases, those strugglingto pay taxes qualify for one of sev-eral relief programs, includingthose expanded earlier this yearunder the IRS "Fresh Start" initia-tive.

Most people can set up a pay-ment agreement with the IRS online in a matter of minutes. Thosewho owe $50,000 or less in com-bined tax, penalties and interestcan use the Online Payment Agree-ment to set up a monthly paymentagreement for up to six years or re-quest a short-term extension topay. Taxpayers can choose this op-tion even if they have not yet re-ceived a bill or notice from the IRS.

Taxpayers can also request apayment agreement by filing Form9465-FS. This form can be down-loaded from IRS.govand mailedalong with a tax return, bill or no-tice.

Alternatively, some strugglingtaxpayers qualify for an offer-in-compromise. This is an agreementbetween a taxpayer and the IRSthat settles the taxpayers tax lia-bilities for less than the fullamount owed. Generally, an offerwill not be accepted if the IRS be-lieves the liability can be paid infull as a lump sum or through apayment agreement. The IRS looksat the taxpayers income and assetsto make a determination regarding

the taxpayers ability to pay.Details on all filing and payment

options are on IRS.gov.

Influenza has been detected inSouth Dakota, prompting a statehealth official to urge universalvaccination.

We have already reported fourconfirmed cases of influenza, allchildren, said Dr. Lon Kightlinger,State Epidemiologist for the de-partment. Fortunately the vaccineis readily available this year andnow is a good time to be vacci-nated.

Kightlinger noted that 51.1% ofSouth Dakotans over age 6 monthswere vaccinated against the fluduring the 2011-2012 season, thehighest rate in the nation.

Annual flu vaccination is recom-mended for everyone, but somegroups are at higher risk for com-plications pregnant women, peo-ple over 50 years and people withchronic medical conditions. Health-care workers and household con-tacts of high risk populations suchas those with young infants in thehousehold should especially be vac-cinated.

Dr. Kightlinger encouraged par-ents to take advantage of the free

flu vaccine the state offers for kidsfrom six months to 18 years. Kidsaccount for a significant number offlu cases and hospitalizations eachyear and also help spread the ill-ness in the community. Vaccinatingchildren protects them and the peo-ple around them.

South Dakotans can also pre-vent the spread of the flu by prac-ticing the common sense measuresof the department's "Stopping theflu starts with you" campaign:

Wash your hands often withsoap and water or use alcohol-based hand gel if you cant wash;

Cover your mouth when youcough or sneeze;

Don't touch your eyes, nose ormouth;

Stay home if you're sick.Influenza is a viral respiratory

illness marked by the sudden onsetof fever, headache, extreme tired-ness, dry cough, sore throat, runnyor stuffy nose and muscle aches. Itspreads when an infected personcoughs, sneezes or talks, sendingthe highly contagious virus into theair. Learn more at http://flu.sd.gov.

Time for influenza vaccination

could be used as an exit from eachroom.

Agree on a meeting place out-side the home where family mem-bers can make contact afterescaping from the house.

Practice the plan at least twicea year, with everyone in the homeinvolved in the practice.

Make sure to have smokealarms in the home and make surethe batteries are fresh.

Firefighters in South Dakota doa great job. Fire Prevention Weekis a time to recognize that, Merri-man said. Its also a good time toremember that each of us is re-sponsible for our own safety andthe safety of our loved ones in theevent of a fire.

National Fire Prevention Weekis a good time for families to sitdown and plan at least two ways tosafely escape a burning structure,State Fire Marshal Paul Merrimansays.

National Fire Prevention Weekruns Oct. 7-13, 2012. This yearstheme is Have 2 Ways Out. Mer-riman says the theme is a reminderthat a good fire safety plan includesmore than one exit strategy from aburning home.

Fire can be unpredictable, andit moves more quickly than mostpeople realize, Merriman said.Having an escape plan with atleast two ways out is essential toprotect your family in the event ofa fire in your home. And the escapeplan should be reviewed from time

to time. Fire Prevention Week is agood time to do that.

Statistics from the National FireProtection Association say that in2010, firefighters in the UnitedStates responded to nearly 370,000home structure fires. Those firescaused 13,350 civilian injuries and2,640 civilian deaths, as well as$6.9 billion in direct damage.

Merriman recommends thatfamilies:

With archery deer, firearms an-telope and the waterfowl seasonsupon us, the South Dakota GameFish and Parks Department is urg-ing sportsmen to be aware of theextreme fire dangers that existacross the entire state.

Hunters in the field can help bean extra set of eyes this time ofyear to help report fires, said Em-

mett Keyser, Division of Wildlifeassistant director. GFP is takingsome proactive steps to help easelandowner concerns, and over thepast couple of weeks weve workedwith South Dakota Wildland Fireto coordinate placement of a singleengine air tanker (SEATs) aircraftin Lemmon.

Were also working to contractwith a couple of volunteer fire de-partments who will be out conduct-ing patrols during the antelopeseason, and were pleased thatSouth Dakota Wildland Fire has

volunteered to dispatch two of theirown fire units as well, said Keyser.

Keyser advised that a GF&P air-craft will also conduct patrols overthe weekend in those countiesalong the Missouri River.

Keyser asked that sportsmentake a few simple precautions sothey are prepared. He urges themto:

by Clint Stout with 14, and he alsorecorded his third interception ofthe year. Sam Pretty Bear recordedan individual season high 13 tack-les.

We had to play team defensethis week to keep their athletesunder wraps and that was evidentwhen you look at the tackling stats.

Everyone contributed.Rounding out the rest of the de-

fensive statistics were Chris Ander-son with 9 tackles and 1 sack, KlayODaniel had 8 tackles and 1 sack,Lane Patterson 7 tackles, Logan

Ammons had 6 tackles, True Buch-holz 5, Chandlier Sudbeck 4,Chance Knutson 3, Herbie O-Daniel and Dylan Riggins each had

2, and Ryder Sanftner had 1 tackle.Offensively it took us a while to

get going this week. With a combi-nation of some new starters on of-fense, coming off a bye week and itbeing a while since weve seengame speed, and of course facingour toughest opponent to date, ittook us some time to get our timing

down and get into a rhythm. Oncewe were able to do that we didmuch better.

Lane Patterson started his firstgame of his career at quarterbackand did a nice job. Our biggest con-cern was ball security and Lane dida very good job of taking care of theball and managing the footballgame.

Chandlier Sudbeck led the teamin rushing this week with 17 car-ries for 75 yards. Chance Knutsonran the ball tough as he had 10 car-ries for 47 yards and 1 touchdown.Lane Patterson had 11 carries for15 yards. Our offensive line did agood job as well this week.

I think that we started to findour rhythm again in the secondhalf of this game so hopefully wecan take that momentum into ournext game as we host the ColomeCowboys for our last regular sea-

son home game of the year, Fridaynight October 12th at 6:00 p.m.Colome comes in sporting a nice 5-1 record having only lost to Gre-gory. Theyve got a very bigoffensive and defensive line as wellas a talented back field that we willhave to contain.

Come out Friday night to sup-port your Kougars on Senior Recog-nition night. We will be honoringour 10 seniors prior to the start ofthe game.
