LEGALS

LocalOn August 8,

South DakotaGovernor Den-nis Daugaardfiled a petitionwith the federalSurface Trans-portation Boardraising ques-tions about theacquisition bythe CanadianPacific Railwayof the Dakota,Minnesota andEastern rail-road.

I am askingthe Surface

TransportationBoard to deter-mine whether ornot the Cana-dian Pacific hasmet its obliga-tions to the peo-ple of SouthDakota, Dau-gaard said.This examina-tion is impera-tive becausepast support forthe CanadianPacifics pur-chase was basedchiefly on prom-ises it made tothe STB.

The petitionserves as an offi-cial inquiry withthe STB to de-termine if theCP lived up to the representa-tions it made while seeking to ac-quire the DM&E. The governorhas asked the state attorney gen-erals office to assist in filing thepetition.

Rail infrastructure is criticalto businesses in South Dakota,especially agriculture, Daugaardsaid. We must do everything wecan to ensure proper rail servicefor our state.

B a s e dupon the CPsr e p r e s e n t a -tions, the STBapproved thecompanys pur-chase of theDM&E railroadin 2008. Prior tothe acquisition,the DM&E pro-vided shippingservice fromSouth Dakota tocritical trans-portation hubs,i n c l u d i n gKansas City,M i n n e a p o l i s

and Chicago.The CP indi-cated recentlythat now it maysell the linewest of Tracy,Minn., meaningthe new buyerof the linewould have lim-ited or no oppor-tunity to shipcargo beyondTracy unlessthe cargo isshipped usingthe CP.

S i n c elast fall, Dau-gaard andmembers of hisadministrationhave been incontact with CPto examine

whether the CP had fulfilled itspromises to the STB. Despitesome communication from theCP, the governors questionshave largely gone unanswered.

Possible DM&E sale watched

Jay Baxter, left, Philip sit e manager of Midwest Cooperative, and SteveMillage, Philip site manager for Dakota Mill and Grain, are watching thesituation closely concerning the possible sale of the DM&E railroad byCanadian Pacific. If sold, the DM&E may go to a large rail company or toa short-line railroad. Each possibility offers its pros and cons. Midwest Co-op has recently completed a railroad siding expansion and is moving for-ward with building a fertilizer plant in Philip. Dakota Mill and Grainrecently acquired building permits from the city of Philip for constucting an

entire new elevator complex and railroad siding.

Hero status isnt reserved onlyfor those brave men and womenwho rush into burning buildingsor step into the front lines of war.

Theres a hero in all of us,said Angel Pillet, donor recruit-ment director of United BloodServices, this areas nonprofitcommunity blood serviceprovider. Ordinary people aresaving lives every day. They do itwhile they are on lunch break orwhile they are running errands.They have found the hero inthemselves by donating blood.

Several years ago, UnitedBlood Services took the innova-tive step of highlighting donorsrather than patients in its blooddrive posters and materials. Theorganization continues that focuswith a new national marketing

campaign that invites people toFind the Hero in You by donat-ing blood three times a year.

We asked a donor, a youngman, why he gives so consistentlythree or four times a year, saidPillet. He said, It feels so goodto save someones life. Why wouldyou do it just once?

You can find the hero in you atthe upcoming Philip communityblood drive on Tuesday, Septem-ber 10, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00p.m. at the Philip High SchoolFine Arts Building. Contact RickPalecek at 859-2525 for an ap-pointment.

Volunteer blood donors mustbe at least 16 years old, weigh atleast 110 pounds and be in goodhealth. Additional height/weightrequirements apply to donors 22and younger, and donors who are16, or 17 in certain areas, must

have signed permission from aparent or guardian. Potentialdonors can make a blood-givingappointment at www.bloodhero.com or by calling 605-342-8585 inRapid City, or 605-996-3688 inMitchell.

Donors also receive a free cho-lesterol test. Find the hero in you... donate blood three times ayear.

Philip Scottie gridiron season begins

Windrowing crops in region in high gear

Mark Buchholz was harvesting sorghum sudan in an area between Cottonwood and Philip on Thursday, August 29. The sudan is being put for hay.What made this windrowing dif ferent was that the 2014 New Holland SP240 windrower was traveling at 11 to 11.5 miles per hour. Sickle type machinestravel at around three to four miles per hour. Kennedy Implement was hosting a dealers meeting, and it happened that the sudan was ready. For thedemonstration, a 15.5 foot disc-bine header was used, though a 19 foot head is available for the same machine. It can work at 11 mph whether thecrop is eight foot or 12 foot tall.

Wreaths Across America hasselected Come With A Mission Leave With A Memory as the2013 theme for its wreath layingprojects. The Wreaths AcrossAmerica mission is to remember,honor and teach about the serviceand sacrifice of our veterans, andtheir families.

Pastor Kathy Chesney takes

her confirmation students andmentors each year to Black HillsNational Cemetery to help placewreaths. She said that thisChristmas project is a powerfulexperience. Orders for wreathsmust be made before the end ofOctober. Plans are for wreaths tobe placed December 14, with theofficial ceremony at 10:00 a.m. atthe Black Hills National Ceme-tery Chapel.

Chesney added that individu-als can sponsor wreaths for spe-cific cemeteries. For moreinformation, contact Chesney atthe United Church of Philip orthe First Presbyterian Church ofInterior.

The idea for this years themearose from the many stories expe-rienced by Wreath Across Amer-icas Board Chairman Wayne

Hanson. Since his involvement inthe early 1990s, and subse-quently with the establishmentof Wreaths Across America as anonprofit organization in 2007,Hanson has made it his missionto continually spread the word to

remember, honor and teach.As the location leader for Ar-

lington National Cemetery since2005, Hanson has communicated,either personally or via email, tothousands wanting informationon how they can volunteer to helpplace wreaths. These individualshave their own personal missionto remember and honor a fallen

friend, relative or even an un-known veteran who has made theultimate sacrifice to keep ourcountry free. Many come as fam-ilies with young children in handand can be seen explaining totheir children what each of thoseuniformed and perfectly alignedwhite stone markers symbolize.

Hanson and his wife, Ann,have experienced many examplesof what they call God Winkswhen they have met or spoken tosomeone at Arlington in thecourse of placing wreaths whohad a special story or memory toshare.

It is hoped that everyone whohelps place wreaths at one of the800 plus Wreaths Across Amer-ica cemetery locations will leavewith a special memory, be it aconversation with a veteran, a

touching scene of a young childplacing a wreath at their fatheror mothers grave or a woundedwarrior clutching the stone of afallen comrade, or just a photo-graph of the remembrancewreaths placed against the head-stones.

Lookin Around by Syd Iwan

I have learned so many inter-esting things this week. First andforemost, Ive finally figured outhow to sleep comfortably in one ofthose awful hospital chairs. Youknow, the kind that has woodenarmrests so your arms go to sleepand tingle within minutes ofusing them. Some of them also

have such strong springs that ifyou push them back into the re-clining position, they snap youright back upright unless theupper part of your body weighsover 200 pounds. If you get one ofthose bad ones, you are flat out ofluck unless you tie it down with acement block or have learned howto sleep sitting up. If you are for-tunate enough to get a weakerspring, then you may be in busi-ness.

Heres what you need to sleep ina semi-cooperative hospital chair,namely three pillows, a smallsheet, blanket or bedspread, anda sweatshirt or towel. You firstplace the chair where it hasenough space to recline. Then youdrape the sheet or other coveringover your feet and legs and, afterreclining the chair, grab the pil-lows. Pick the thinnest pillow forbehind your head, and positionthe other two over the woodenarmrests. Place them at an angleso the corners meet over your lap,and rest your arms on them at thesame angle as the pillows are sit-uated. Finally spread the sweat-shirt or towel over your chest andarms and cover completely if theroom is cold. If it is warm, youmight not need it at all or the cov-

ering over your feet. If you followthese simple instructions, you areapt to be very comfortable indeedand sleep like a baby. Such, atleast, has been my experience thisweek. Ive even felt rested in themornings, and my dreams havebeen sweet.

The one minor difficulty withall this splendor is that it has tobe replaced every time you get upto go to the bathroom or help with

your sons care. Im getting prettyefficient at getting settled back inby now, of course, so it doesnttake very long. At first it was a lit-tle tedious, but now its just rou-tine.

Then we come to rocks. Thereare rock borders all around thehospital and, in fact, all overtown. They must all come fromthe same place because the as-sortment of stones, pebbles etc. isalways fairly much alike. Itsabout what Im used to from theranch except all gathered togetherin bunches. Ive had time to ob-serve them closely when takingbreaks from son Chances roomand sitting on a wall or somethingsipping coffee.

Must of the rocks are fairlyhumdrum and not very exciting. Afew have interesting colors,streaks, or embedded materials.What has been catching my eye,though, are the occasional smallflat round ones that are grayish-brown with white flecks. I oncestarted looking for a perfectlyformed one of those for the lack ofanything better to do, and Ivebeen looking for the perfect speci-men ever since. I havent yetfound a completely round one thatis unchipped, but Im bound to

sooner or later, dont you imagine?I have found a heart shaped onethat went into my pocket alongwith a nice oval.

What I plan to do is let thesethree pebbles roll around with myknife, keys, and loose changethere in my pocket until they getall smooth and nice. This maytake a considerable amount oftime, of course, but it should hap-pen eventually. I know a little

about polishing rocks since wehad a tumbler some years ago inwhich you place rocks, grit, andwater and then let the thing rollslowly around for many weeksuntil the rocks are polished. Mypocket isnt as active as a tumbler,but given enough time the resultshould be the same, I would think.I didnt really know what to dowith those polished rocks fromlong ago, come to think of it, sothe whole affair is somewhat anexercise in futility. Thats okay. Itgives me something to thinkabout and work towards. That isuseful when tending someone inthe hospital. The whole businessalso reminds me of Gods efforts topolish us up a bit. He puts usthrough hard times occasionallyto smooth off the rough edges andmake us shine. I wonder if Imshiny yet. Must be getting close.It looks possible that Chancesstay may end shortly which is finesince weve already been hereabout two weeks. Heaven knowsthats long enough, but now I havea nice collection of rocks and knowhow to sleep comfortably in a hos-pital chair. Thats probably a goodthing, and getting Chance back tobetter health is even better.

Country Praises by Del Bartels

His little granddaughter wastrying to race through the grass,

while his big dog was leading, run-ning back, and leading her againthrough the stuff that soon wouldbe mowed. The fence had beenchecked last weekend when hehad begun his regular summerchores for the cemetery associa-tion. She and the dog would befine as he finished mowing thegrass and straightening any head-stones that needed it.

As a tyke he had also playedhere, while his father had donethese same chores. Playing in acemetery might have seemed oddto others, but seemed so right tohim. His father had taken up thecemetery responsibilities since ateenager, it being suddenly passeddown when his own father wasbrought back from the war. Theshadow of that headstone waswhere the little girl had set her

flowered cooler which held an iceddrink, sandwich and apple.Mowing was relatively easy.

Any short breaks were actuallyharder. He just could not lingeraround the northeast corner

where there were a larger numberof infant plots. He looked up tocheck on his granddaughter. Shewas touching and trying to read

the words on one of the infantmarkers. Her lips were movingbut he couldnt hear her over thedistance and the mower.

His father once had dreams forhis children. Most of those wereshared by him operating aranch/farm, being an importantmember of his community, some-day raising their own kids. He haddreams for his children takingover the business, becoming likedand respected neighbors, passingon honorable traits to their ownchildren. His grandchildren haddreams having fun, growing big-ger, being a princess or superhero.This granddaughter had specificdreams of learning to bake cookiesand being just like her daddy.

He turned off the mower. Hear-ing this, the dog bounded besidethe little girl toward the man.

Lunch was opened. Between bites,the girl told of the different namesand numbers on the markers thatshe had read. One first name wasthe same as her friend who likesto sing along with kids television

shows. So, she sang some songsfor the girl and other people underthe markers. She was pretty surethey liked the songs. Grandfather

smiled. Yes, he was pretty sure,too.

He sliced her apple for her asshe told of what she wanted to dotomorrow. Then, he went back towork to finish up, and she went tosing some more songs for every-one. She had plans for tomorrow.The people buried here once hadplans for their tomorrows. Shehad gone off to play. Whos to saythey hadnt done the same?

He had seen some of his dreamsbecome real. Some were stillworks in progress. Some wouldhave to be seen by others later.Wasnt that the way of theyoungest to the oldest dreamers?

The man pushed the mower, butfrequently looked over toward thegirl. She had climbed up on one ofthe headstones, but was sitting to-ward the far end as if leaving

room for someone else. He couldsee, but not hear, that she wasagain singing. He smiled. He waspretty sure that everyone was en-joying the duet.

Field of dreams

Words will never be enough toshow the depth of my gratitude to-ward our veterans and militarypersonnel who are actively serv-ing. I cant help but fill with prideas I travel across South Dakotaand meet men and women who

have bravely stepped up to defendthis great country. In fact, over72,000 veterans call South Dakotahome and it is because of these he-roes that families across our statecan wake up in the greatest nationin the world.

All of our nations veterans de-serve to be treated with the honorand respect they deserve, which iswhy I have and will continue tosupport legislation in Congressthat assists veterans and honorstheir service. Recently, I co-spon-sored H.R. 685, the AmericanFighter Aces Congressional GoldMedal Act, which specifically hon-ors our nations fighter pilots.Fighter pilots are credited with

destroying five or more confirmedenemy aircraft in aerial combat.

More than 60,000 fighter pilotshave served in the Armed Forces,but less than 1,500 have been hon-ored with the prestigious title ofFighter Ace. Ten aces were born inSouth Dakota, including GovernorJoseph Joe Foss, the second

highest scoring ace in the MarineCorps, and Cecil Harris, the sec-ond highest scoring ace in theNavy. As South Dakotans, weshould be proud to say that thebest of the best have called ourstate home. I fly into and out ofJoe Foss Field in Sioux Falls whenIm traveling to Washington, D.C.Every landing and take off re-minds me of our states veteransand one of our greatest flying aces.

The American Fighter AcesCongressional Gold Medal Act willallow for the presentation of a sin-gle gold medal in honor of thesebrave pilots and their incredibleachievements. This medal would

then be given to the SmithsonianInstitution for display and re-search. Bronze duplicates will besold by the U.S. Mint to cover thecost of the initial gold medal.

This group of elite fighters isalso one of the most highly deco-rated military groups in Americanhistory. Twenty-two achieved the

rank of admiral in the Navy, 79achieved the rank of general inthe Army, Marines and Air Forceand 19 fighter aces have beenawarded the Medal of Honor, in-cluding Joe Foss.

Im proud to support this bill,and to support our men andwomen in uniform. If you know ofa veteran who is having difficultyreceiving a military medal orneeds assistance with benefitsclaims, please contact one of myoffices so we can help. Those need-ing assistance should visit mywebsite at http://noem.house.govfor more information or call one ofmy offices.

Honoring our fighting acesby Senator John Thune

It was three years ago that theObama administration dubbedthe summer of 2010 the summerof recovery. Three years later,many Americans are still search-ing for recovery as our economycontinues to struggle under theweight of stagnant economic

growth, high unemployment, anddwindling household income.National unemployment re-

mains well above seven percent,while the economy grew by just1.7 percent in the second quarter.The median household income hasdropped by more than $2,700since June of 2009, yet health carepremiums for American familieshave skyrocketed by nearly$2,500.

As premiums continue to risethroughout the country, and busi-nesses reduce the number of em-ployee hours, it has becomeincreasingly clear that the presi-dents signature health care law iscrushing jobs and economicgrowth. According to a recent sur-vey conducted by Gallup, 41 per-

cent of small businesses ownershave said they have held off onhiring new employees and 38 per-cent have pulled back on plans togrow their business due to Oba-macare. According to Labor De-partment data reported by CNNMoney, The number of Ameri-cans finding part-time jobs hassurged this year, with more thanfour times as many getting onlypart-time work as opposed to full-

time jobs. In South Dakota, theSouth Dakota Division of Insur-ance recently published the ex-change rates for 2014, and itappears that individual plans onthe exchange will be significantlyhigher.

Instead of expending time andresources on the implementation

of Obamacare, the Obama admin-istration should be working withcongressional Republicans toenact pro-growth policies thatsimulate the economy, includingcomprehensive tax reform. Rev-enue neutral comprehensive taxreform is a critical way to increaseeconomic growth in our country.Lower tax rates will encouragework and investment, and willmake America a more attractiveplace to do business. Well de-signed tax reform can even helpreduce the deficit by increasingeconomic growth.

In addition to tax reform, thepresident should approve the con-struction of the Keystone XLPipeline, which has been waitingfor approval for nearly five years.According to the Obama State De-partment, which is responsible forapproving the pipeline, the con-

struction of Keystone XL wouldsupport 42,000 jobs nationwideover a two year period. In SouthDakota, the pipeline would resultin significant economic benefitsincluding $470 million in newspending for the South Dakotaeconomy, and additional state andlocal revenues of more than $10million.

Finally, the president shouldrein in onerous regulations on thebusiness community. From 2009to 2012, President Obama final-ized $518 billion in new regula-tions, which is more than thecombined gross domestic productof Portugal and Norway. Justsince January 1, 2013, the federalgovernment has published $66 bil-lion in compliance costs, and 81.2million annual paperwork burdenhours.

It is time for America to start

down the road to economic recov-ery, and that begins by enactingcomprehensive tax reform, ap-proving the Keystone XL Pipeline,reining in burdensome regula-tions, and permanently delayingObamacare for all Americans.Working together to promotethese policies and to cut spendingand debt, we can grow the econ-omy and create jobs and opportu-nity for American workers,families, and small businesses.

Searching for economic recovery

Months of persistent drought in2012, a cold, wet spring in 2013and a reduction in habitat haveimpacted pheasant brood counts,according to a report released bythe South Dakota Game, Fish andParks Department.

But officials note that SouthDakota will still offer the bestpheasant hunting experience inthe country, with more than 1.1million acres of public land avail-able for pursuing birds within thestates main pheasant range.

The departments annual broodcount surveys the number ofpheasants per mile as a means totrack pheasant numbers overtime. The actual population size isestimated after the pheasanthunting season ends, with addi-

tional information gathered fromhunter surveys and a winter roos-ter-to-hen ratio survey.

The 2013 report indicates anindex of 1.52 pheasants per mile,

down from 4.19 pheasants permile last year.

The annual brood count pro-vides us with a year-over-yearanalysis tool, said Travis Runia,GFPs lead pheasant biologist.Our numbers may be down fromlast year, but hunters will still beable to find birds."

GFP conducts the brood routesurvey each year on selectstretches of roads around thestate. All pheasants are countedalong each route, with particularattention to the number of broods.

Much of the northern GreatPlains experienced the sameweather and habitat factors thatimpacted our brood counts, Runiasaid.

Runia noted that lower brood

counts in 1992 and 1997 still re-sulted in almost one millionpheasants harvested in SouthDakota each year. Since 1992, thestate has added 350,000 acres of

public access within the mainpheasant range, expanding hunt-ing opportunities.

The 2013 pheasant seasonopens October 19 and runsthrough January 5, 2014. Theyouth pheasant season will runfrom October 5-9 and the residentonly season October 12-14.

The 2013 pheasant brood sur-vey report, complete with compar-isons for different local areas, canbe accessed at http://gfp.sd.gov/hunting/small-game/pheasant-outlook.aspx.

Fall Alfalfa manageent

Although there are exceptions,

summer rains have offered somealfalfa producers with the optionof a 3rd, or even 4th cutting. Thatextra cutting of alfalfa doesnthappen in much of South Dakotaoften, but if so, will likely be inSeptember. The question hasbeen asked, is that a good idea, or

risky?The answer depends on a fewissues. If the field will not besaved for hay the following year,you can obviously cut it any timewithout concern. There will be aslight reduction in nitrogen con-tribution to the next crop if thetop growth is removed, but if donewhen the quality is good, andthere is enough yield to make har-vesting worthwhile, the value ofthe hay crop may easily exceedthe small amount of nitrogensaved by leaving it.

If you plan to keep the field inalfalfa for one or more years, thenext question is, do you need thehay? If not, it is safer for thehealth of the stand to leave thelast growth in the field, and donot graze it. If you decide youneed the hay, the best practice isto wait until at or after a killing

frost to cut it, and leave 5-6 of

stubble to catch snow and protectthe crowns from cold.

For the best survival of thestand, attempt to take last sum-mer cutting by late August orvery early September, and let re-growth stand in the field (no latecut or grazing). If you have not

fertilized in the summer, you maywant to topdress any neededphosphorus and/or potassium inlate August or early September.

What is the risk of cutting inmid-September? Alfalfa cut inmid-September will begin to re-grow following the harvest anduse some of the stored carbohy-drates, meaning a relatively lowlevel available when the killingfreeze comes. Reduced levels ofstored carbohydrates can limitwinter survival and inhibit re-growth in the spring. With a lowlevel of stored carbohydrates,even a minor premature springrecovery and freeze-back will se-verely stress the plants.

August cattle on feed report bullish

Feed prices trending lower andfeeder cattle prices trendinghigher may spark some interestin retaining ownership of stockercalves over the winter.

"Feeder cattle futures priceand projections from USDA-ERSsend different signals for differenttimes. Through the remainder of2013 futures are above funda-mental projection levels. Thus,there is an incentive to pricefeeder cattle to be sold in theshort run," said Heather Gessner,SDSU Extension Livestock Busi-ness Management Field Special-ist.

By the second quarter of 2014the projections are above the fu-

tures price by $10 per hundred-weight. Gessner said these prices,combined with new crop corn andhay prices remaining lower thanlast year, suggest profit potentialfor calves backgrounded through-out winter. However, she addedthat risk management toolsshould be considered despite theimproved chances for lower feedcosts as the risk of retaining own-ership between fall and springcan be large in the feeder cattlemarket.

"During the winter months,particularly between Novemberand March, futures have bothrisen and fallen by over $10 per

hundredweight in the lastdecade," Gessner said.

Producers with calves or feed-ers can use put options or Live-stock Risk Protection (LRP)insurance to cover against a de-cline in feeder cattle prices. Gess-ner pointed out that such declinesoccurred from November toMarch in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008and 2012.

When making the decision onwhich of these tools to utilize,Gessner said to consider the num-ber of animals you are covering,the cost of the product, and thelength of time you will be coveringyour calves.

"Other price protection tools

such as forward pricing calves forlater delivery either through in-ternet auctions or direct sales tothe feedlot could be considered.

The downside of utilizing thesetools would be that if the priceprojections are accurate for thefirst quarter of 2014 there may bemoney left on the table come de-livery day," she said.

In order to determine which ofthese tools will work best, Gess-ner said producers first need todetermine their breakeven costsfor three months of feed, as wellas their risk tolerance.

"With futures and projectionsin March near the $160 per hun-dredweight range and the bud-geted costs at $200 per head inthis market scenario, determin-ing your risk tolerance is up toyou," she said.

There were 10 million head ofcattle on feed in U.S. feedyardswith greater than 1,000 head ca-pacities on Aug. 1, 2013, accord-ing to USDA's monthly Cattle onFeed report released on Aug. 23.

"That is almost 6 percent belowa year ago and below industry ex-pectations," said Darrell Mark,Adjunct Professor of Economics at

South Dakota State University."Although this is the twelfth con-secutive month of year-over-yeardeclines in the on feed inventory,the Aug. 1 drop likely marks thebeginning of several months ofsharply lower cattle on feed num-bers."

Cattle feeders marketed 2 mil-lion head of cattle during July, orabout 4.5 percent more than inJuly 2012 (Table 1). This in-crease, which contributed to thelower cattle on feed inventory onAug. 1, Mark said it was rela-tively close to pre-release expec-tations.

"Because July 2013 had onemore marketing day than July2012, average daily marketingsthis July were almost identical tolast year," he said.

The steady marketings alongwith the declining number of cat-

tle on feed has resulted in mar-ketings as a percentage of thenumber of cattle on feed to in-crease to 19.3 percent, whichMark said is up from 17.9 percenta year ago and the highest mar-ketings pace yet for 2013.

"Marketings as a percentage ofcattle on feed have generally beenhigher this year as a function ofcattle feeders placing more heavyyearlings on feed and fewercalves, thus shortening the num-ber of days on feed that cattle are

nearly 20 percent compared toJuly 2011 and almost 8 percentbelow the 5-year average. In ad-dition to high feed costs lastmonth limiting placements thisJuly, sharp reductions in feedercattle imports from Mexico con-tributed to about a fifth of the de-cline in placements this year,"Mark said.

Overall, Mark said the marketreaction to the sharply lowerplacements, lower cattle on feedinventory, and steady averagedaily marketings figures wasbullish. The numbers provide themost support for improved fedcattle prices in the November2013 to February 2014 time-frame.

"Continued reductions in cattleon feed numbers could help pushslaughter cattle prices to $130 perhundred weight or slightly higherby year's end. However, higherplacements of calves this fall - ifnew crop corn prices remain low -could put more pressure on fedprices late next spring and earlysummer," he said.

fed," he said.That trend towards placing

proportionally more heavy feedercattle and fewer lighter cattle onfeed continued in July. Cattlefeeders placed about 665,000feeder cattle weighing less than700 pounds during July, whichwas 160,000 head or almost 20percent less than last year.

"This year's improved pastureand range conditions have notforced early weaning to the extentthat it did for the last two years,thus lowering the number ofcalves being placed in July andAugust this year," he said.

Mark added that cattle feedersplaced 1.057 million feeder cattleweighing more than 700 poundsin July, down only 40,000 head or4 percent from last year. Still,total placements sharply declinedin July. USDA reported that cat-tle feeders placed only 1.722 mil-lion head, which was down 10.4percent compared to last year andwell below industry expectations.

"Of note, July 2012 placementswere down sharply as well. So,July 2013 placements were down

This is terrible, I use a programthat underlines poor spelling witha red line, but it doesnt correctthe problem for me. I want asmarter computer!

Sandee and Roxie Gittingsdrove up to the Black Hills Sun-day afternoon and spent the nightwith Leo and Judie Gittings. Leo

shared some of their garden pro-duce with them. Roxie and SandeeGittings were in Rapid City Mon-day.

Monday found Tony Hartydoing the usual around Kadoka,getting the mail, mowing some inthe cool of the morning, and visit-ing at the Sumpters in theevening. The day turned out to be100.

Monday, the 26th of August,Bill and I were still at the BigBend Dam by Fort Thompson. Welaunched the boat for one more at-tempt to get the biggest fisharound, no luck there, but Bill didadjust the motor some and got itrunning much better. Then it wastime to load up. I can attest to thefact the water was warm since Iwent wading up past my knees toget the boat launched and loaded.We need to figure out a way so Idont get quite so wet! A fellowthat helps at the campgroundasked Bill how he had such a help-ful mermaid along, since everytime he saw me I was in the waternot quite waist deep. Bill got tothe card room in Philip in the af-ternoon.

Monday, Don and Vi Moody set-tled back at the ranch and gotmowing done in and around theranch again for the most part any-way. Don had an appointment inPhilip with Ron Larson Tuesdaymorning to pick up a new laptop totake mostly for travel leaving theold one for Vi to do her ranch ac-counting and other business at theranch besides, the desktop, so that

will cover most of their needs theyhope, except for getting iphones, i-pads, notepads, mini-pads and allthat other stuff in the electronicwizardry that no one these dayscan live without anymore.

Roxie Gittings returned toEagan, Minn., Tuesday morningafter being a big help around the

place with her folks. Roxie bakedup a bunch of goodies for Georgeand Sandee to enjoy.

Tuesday, Tony Harty picked upthe mail, checked around theHairs place to see if it was in needof mowing and to see that every-thing was okay, then made a tripto Philip. Again the temperaturereached 100 on the home ther-mometer.

Tuesday, I had a full day withfolks in Rapid City with theHaakon County Prairie Trans-portation van. Bill was in Philip inthe afternoon for cards and thatevening we held a meeting of thebowling association at the bowlingalley in Philip. There was a lot ofdiscussion and the secretaries ofeach league to get the opinions oftheir bowlers. Remember, if youwant to bowl call the bowling alleyor another bowler. If you cantgolf, you can bowl in the winter.You may even be able to do both,who knows!

A couple from the Aberdeenarea stopped at George andSandee Gittings Wednesday after-noon to see their home after see-ing the interview on KELO TV.Sorry didn't get their names, butthey said Jayne Gottsleben grewup in their neighborhood.

Wednesday, Don and Vi Moody

were in Philip doing errands andshopping.

Wednesday morning after Billand I had breakfast, I took theHCPT van to Kyle with a passen-ger. The crops along that route arein fine shape. Lots of millet fields,a few sunflowers, alfalfa in itssecond cutting, and everything is

still green and nice looking. Thesunflowers are bowing their headsand filling with seeds, so not nearas pretty as a couple of weeks ago.Bill was in Philip in the afternoonfor cards.

George and Sandee Gittingswere in Rapid City Thursday.Sandee had the port taken out asit caused a blood clot and a lot ofpain.

Wednesday night, I was fussingaround the house with the phonebook in my hand, all prepared tocall Jerry and Sonia Nemec andcancel a planned flight Thursdaymorning in celebration of Jerrys72nd birthday. The reason forfussing around was a person wasto be picked up in Kyle early inthe morning and brought back tocatch the bus out of Kadoka tovisit in Sioux Falls. Whew, Billtook the pressure off by volunteer-ing to make the run with theHCPT van, leaving at 5:30 Thurs-day morning. Kyle is 63 milesaway on slower roads. Thursdaymorning, I had the hanger allopened up, tires checked, fuel andoil checked, and was ready for de-parture at 7 a.m. I met Jerry andSonia at our house and caught aride to the airport with them and

It is Monday, isnt it? With itbeing Labor Day and a holiday forbusinesses and those post offices,my mind is thinking holiday no news, right? Wrong. It is still aday for collecting local news, foranother weekly column. LaborDay weekend marks the end ofsummer, with kids back in schooland fall nibbling at our toes. Withtemperatures predicted to be inthe 90s for the next seven days,its telling us not to get ahead ofourselves, as summer is not fin-ished with us yet. Some folks arewindrowing down their milletcrops, getting them ready for har-vest. Jerry and I took a drivearound the country area yesterdayand couldnt help but think, bar-ring any bad storms f rom MotherNature it is going to be a very,busy, fall harvest. The crops arelooking good. It was a beautifulMonday morning, with a lightbreeze, a beautiful morning for ahot air balloon ride. When doingsome things out at our farm on theDe Young place, off in the dis-tance, Jerry saw two hot air bal-loons, floating along in the sky.They were coming from the eastmoving towards the Saucerman orDaly place, as far as he could tell.

Giving Judy Daly a call to seewhat she knew, she said Stevewas headed out to do some farm-ing, when he spotted them, tooksome pictures, you can do thatwith cell phones you know, gaveJudy a call and headed for thearea near Saucermans or MickeyDalys who have land across theroad from each other. Anyway,long story short, by the time Judyand Steve got there one hadlanded in Saucermans field andthe other one was about to land inthat same field. Judy said JudithRadway, Philip, was in one of theair balloons. Now according toChrisy Zuccaro, those balloonrides are awesome, she and hermom, Eleanor, had gone on onesome years ago. Ill take her wordfor it, but just between you andme, Ill leave those air balloonrides to someone else. The town of

Belvidere was having a two-daycelebration with different activi-ties this holiday weekend, and oneof those activities was hot air bal-loon rides.

Friday, as I was walking to thepost office, I happened to see somefolks walking the streets of Mid-land. You know you live in a smalltown when you see someone youdont know and strike up a conver-sation. They were an enjoyablecouple, telling that theyd beenaround the Pierre area to the east,looking up the area where family

had once lived some years ago.She was thoroughly enjoyingwalking the streets of Midlandand hearing some of the history ofthe town. As we continued to visit,I shared the history of 1880 Townand of Clarence Hullingers wishto preserve history for our youth.They planned to make a stopthere, seeing that history and buy-ing the book of the history of thattown. Visiting with those folksand hearing their story and shar-ing some of my own, is one of thereasons I enjoyed working at 1880Town. It took you off on an adven-ture to places you would neversee. From there they were goingthrough the Badlands.

At Midland Market Fridayevening, there was a young fellowby the name of James Rienstra ofZimmerman, Minn., who twoyears ago had embarked on aPedaling for Pennies bicycle tripto raise money to fight againstcancer by raising awareness andmoney. Losing his father to pan-creatic cancer his goal is to help inthe fight of cancer. On his firsttrip he biked over 3,000 milesfrom Minnesota to Alaska andraised $17,000. Leaving his hometown of Zimmerman August 15,he began his road bike trip whichwill take him over 15,000 milesthrough 12 countries ending in

Ushuiua, Argentina, South Amer-ica. In visiting with him, heshared stories of the awesomefolks he has met along the way.He was a delightful young man.Our prayers go with him as hepedals across lands of unknownplaces, meeting folks who willhave an impact on his life and hisjourney. Making life interesting isthe people you meet on the jour-ney.

A fellow and his wife from Sib-ley, Iowa, were in Midland lookingfor family history. Michael had afeeling he had been adopted, andwhen he and his wife applied forpassports, he learned he was.Learning he had been born at theMidland hospital, he was on amission to learn of his familyroots. So, he and his wife headedfor Midland, stopping at the mu-seum, visiting with Jan Bierle.She sent them to the home of

Shorty and Mickey Woitte andfrom there they all headed for theMidland Community Library,hoping to find the obituary of hisgrandmother, Louisa Kreszon.While some looked through the oldnewspapers of the year she wouldhave died, Mickey happened to seea scrapbook of Smokey Petoskeson the table. On the outside ofthat scrapbook was Obituariesfrom 1950s to 1070s, which theyear they were looking for wouldhave been in. Smokey had them inalphabetical order with the pagenumber beside the names, andthere it was. That saved a wholelot of time, for sure. LibrarianKarel Reiman was telling meabout it, so I called Mickey andShorty. When Mickey said thename, Kreszon, I got excited. I re-membered my husband, Jerry,talking of Mrs. Kreszon and ofwalking to her place when he wasa young boy, which was about aquarter of a mile from where hegrew up. He remembers her al-ways having a snack and when itcame time for him to head home;she would walk him to the placeshe referred to as the rabbit hole.And from there they went theirseparate ways. Jerrys dad,Jerome, eventually bought thatland, as it bordered up next to apart of his land. Mickey remem-

bers going to the Kreszon placewith her mom, Dena Martin. Wegot Michaels name, address andphone number from Mickey, soJerry gave him a call. He washappy to learn more of his grand-mother and long story short invisiting with Jerry he learned hisgrandmothers land had not beenin Haakon County, as he thought,but in Stanley County. Highschool friends known as the Big-four (Sylvia Root, Jean Quatier,Verona Merkle and Joyce Petoske)would often visit Louisa Kreszon.Sylvia and Jean had pictures ofhis grandmother and in talkingwith him by phone, said theywould send them to him. Whenshe moved from the farm, she hada little house across the bridgeeast of Midland, near MitchellCreek. I went there once with mycousin, Sylvia, and seeing that

house near Mitchell Creek, mythoughts were, I wouldnt want tolive there. Wonder what everhappened to that house? In lateryears, she moved to Hot Springs,where Jessie (Livermore) Root re-members her and Irene (Quatier)Hubbard visiting with her whenthey were nurses at a hospital inHot Springs. She is buried at thecemetery here in Midland. Herhusband, Phillip Kreszon, isburied at the military cemetery atHot Springs.

Emily Sammons went to Yank-ton for the baby shower of EmeliaBlom, daughter of Cole and Sarah.Emelias grandparents are Garyand Casey Blom and great-grand-

parents are Virginia Blom and thelate Pete Blom.

ToddRauch and daughter, September,Lubbock, Texas, Todd, TeriSchlunsen and boys, Tea, TamiLainer, Lexington, N.C., Dave,Traci Rauch-Word and family,Grand Island, Neb., and JennyRauch and son, Merrick, Brook-ings, were all there for the LaborDay weekend and celebrated thefourth birthday of September andSterling Rauch-Word's 12thbirthday. Emily came home Sun-day. Emily and husband, RonnieSammons, went to the home oftheir daughter, Corinne andMitch Norman for lunch this Mon-day, having a chance to visit withthe great-grandkids, Colt, Cam-ryn, Austyn, Addisyn, and Hay-den Norman, who were all thereand they worked their cattle.

Jerry and I headed for Kadokaearly Wednesday morning, meet-ing Marsha Sumpter, for a ride inher airplane. I had given Marshaa call about a plane ride for Jerrysbirthday, so a plan was set inplace. It was a beautiful morningfor that airplane ride and flyingover parts of the Badlands. Whatcan I say? It was awesome! Seeingthe Badlands from the air is a

whole lot different than drivingby. Gods creation at work! Flyingby the home of Brett and Tammy

Prang, Marsha pointed out that38 foot cross on their place. It wasan enjoyable flight, and as Jerrysaid, Marsha is a good pilot.Marshas husband, Bill, met thethree of us at a local restaurantfor breakfast, following our flight.Thanks, Marsha, it was great!

As I close my column this Tues-day morning, my thoughts and myprayers are with the Woitte fami-lies. Saturday, Shorty got a callfrom his son, Rex, Rapid City,with birthday wishes for his 88birthday and to tell Mickey andShorty that their grandson, An-thony Woitte, was killed in a four-wheeler accident that day, August31. Anthony lived in Rapid Cityand would have been 36 in Octo-ber. It was just last week that Ihad written in my news column ofShorty and Mickey enjoying hav-ing family home for a visit, Rexand his wife, Linda, being amongthose family members. It makesone realize all over again, how weneed to take time for those mo-ments with family, as we neverknow when that time can be cutshort. Our sincere sympathies toShorty and Mickey and Rex andLinda and the rest of the Woittefamilies.

Funeral services for AnthonyWoitte will be held Saturday, Sep-tember 7, at 10:00 a.m. at Behrens

Funeral Home in Rapid City.Cards may be sent to Rex andLinda at 1645 Dorothy Drive,Rapid City, S.D. 57703.

What a busy week around here.I never got too many called andthose I did I didnt find home. Willtry to call early this week to findout what everyone did over theLabor Day weekend.

The weather has been hot and itsounds like we will have more ofthe same, but maybe just a few de-grees cooler. It seems like when itgets to 90 it is just hot, especiallyif there is no breeze.

Jim and Norma Oldenberg had

company this last week, Laureland SkyLee Schultes, Faith, andmyself. When I visited, I foundJim not feeling too good. He hadbeen off work for a few days. Jeanand Tanka Brink also came for avisit. The Brinks are relatives ofNorma. Tanka said Jean hadworked for John Knutson severalyears ago. The Brinks also have ason named C.J. Jim and Normawere planning to go to Faith forthe shower for Brandi Donovanwho is marrying grandson ClayBrown September 14.

Vicki Eide and Christa Fitchwent to Rapid City to meet CarlaEide for a day of fun. It was a longday before they finished theirbusiness. Carla and the kids cameto her parents home to spend theLabor Day weekend. Over theweekend everyone went up to theFitch home near Milesville andthey put up several bags of cornfor the freezer. It was such nicecorn. Those helping freeze cornwere Carla, Vicki and myself andlater Rita Ramsey. The Fitch boysand the Sieler kids helped pickand shuck the corn and keep thecobs taken out to the garbage.What a powerhouse that bunch ofkids are.

Well to make a long story short,we all ended up with enough cornfor our freezer to last a long win-ter. It was 12 p.m. before we werefinished. Well, I slept till 10:30Monday morning! So I had to rushto finish the news for the newspa-per and get ready to go in for theFitch boys football game laterthat day. Carla and her kids leftfor their home about noon. They

stopped in Philip to visit great-grandmother, Minnie Brech atPhilip Health Services.

Everyone is cutting silage in thearea. Marvin was helping DonniePoss with the tractor and bull-dozer to get his done. Donnie andDelores were trying to spend sometime with their son, Dugan, andfamily who are here visiting fromNorth Dakota. So it was a hurriedtime to get it finished as you haveto take the silage cutters when

they are available.Football season has started, so I

will be busy trying to get to thegames as I have three great-grandsons playing this year.

It will soon be time for flu shotsand everything else that we needto do to keep us healthy throughthe winter. I dont think we arethankful enough when we arehealthy because there is so muchillness around us everywhere.

A lot of volunteer wheat hascame up and people would like tograze their livestock on it, butsome fencing will have to be donein some areas. Some plan to useelectric fences which is faster, buthas to be watched carefully to seeif it is working.

Corn is getting closer to beingready to harvest, so there will beno rest for awhile. Cattle will alsoneed to be sold and get ready for

winter. Some are saying that wewill have a lot of snow due to therebeing so much fog this year. Doesmake one wonder. I do hope thatwe get some moisture before theyplant their winter wheat, so itcomes up and makes a cover forthe ground.

Will close my news for this weekwith the following: There aint nofree lunches in this country. Anddont go spending your whole lifecommiserating that you got rawdeals. Youve got to say, I think ifI keep working at this and want itbad enough I can have it. LeeIacocca Youve achieved success in your

field when you dont know whetherwhat you are doing is work orplay. Warren Beatty

In their first football game ofthe 2013 season, the Philip Scot-ties fell to the Tigers at New Un-derwood, Friday, August 30.

The higher than average scor-ing game ended 26-38. The firstquarter began with hopes goingto the Scotties when Austin Pin-ney finished a drive with a four-yard carry for the games firsttouchdown. New Underwood,though, followed suit with a 10-yard rush for their first touch-down. The Tigers completed apass conversion to gain a two-point lead.

The second quarter began as a

repeat of the first. Philips PaulGuptill concluded a drive with a10-yard carry into the end zone.He was given the ball again toadd the conversion points. A sur-prise 78-yard run by New Under-wood, followed by a successfulconversion play, put the Tigersback in the lead. Philips RyanVan Tassel capped off a Scottie

march down field with a seven-yard goal, but the conversionfailed. New Underwood cameback with a march of their own,ending with a 33-yard carry foranother six points. The Tigerspass conversion was successful,ending the first half 20-24.

The beginning of the secondhalf saw only New Underwoodadd to the score board. TheTigers followed a five-yard touch-down rush with a successful con-version rush. Later, again havingpossession, the Tigers gotthrough the Philip lines for a 33-yard touchdown. The extra point

attempt failed. The third quarterended 20-38.

Philip tried to make up the dif-ference in the final quarter.While holding New Underwoodscoreless, the Scotties got GavinBrucklacher within two yardsand he ran the ball in for whatwould be the final score board ad-dition of the game.

Philip earned 22 first downs,matching New Underwoods 22.Philip did not use a punt play

during the game, but forced theTigers to punt once. The Scottieslost only 10 yards, due to twofive-yard penalties. The Tigerswent backward 60 yards due toone 15-yard, three 10-yard andthree five-yard penalties.

The Scotties passing game con-sisted of three attempts by GavinBrucklacher, with no completes.

Schulz Ranch is 100 years oldThe Schulzfamily ofPhilip washonoredas a Cen-tury Farmat theSouthDakotaState Fairon August29 duringa specialprogramhosted bythe SouthDakotaFarm Bu-reau andthe SouthDakota De-partmentof Agricul-ture. The

land inGrandviewII Town-ship, Jack-son County, currently owned by Karl H. Schulz and JoAnn A. Schulz was originally purchasedin 1910 by August and Marie Schulz, Karls great-grandparents. When a family owns a farm or ranch for acentury or more, it is a remarkable milestone that should absolutely be celebrated. The South Dakotans who set-tled on these prairies endured much hardship, and their legacy lives on in their family members who still carefor the same land today. Congratulations to the Schulz family for receiving the Century Farm award, said ScottVanderWal, president of the South Dakota Farm Bureau. This year, 59 families were honored with the centuryaward for 100 years of ownership, and 23 were honored with the quasquicentennial award for 125 years offamily ownership. Since the program began in 1984, South Dakota Farm Bureau and the South Dakota Depart-ment of Agriculture have recognized more than 2,700 farm and ranch families with these awards. To be recog-nized, at least 80 acres of the original land must still be owned by the same family, and they must be able toprovide proof of the original date of purchase.

The South Dakota Departmentof Environment and Natural Re-sources has added oil and gas pro-duction data to an interactive oiland gas initiative map online

where the public can now easilyview how much oil and gas hasbeen produced.

Oil and gas production data,which used to be hard to obtain, isnow available in a variety of for-mats. Production data can befound for each and every well thathas been drilled in South Dakota,either in searchable databases orby clicking on an individual wellon the interactive map.

DENR went a step further andhas also provided links to the in-teractive map and searchabledatabases that show total produc-tion data by month and year forentire oil and gas fields and en-hanced recovery units. Injectiondata for underground injection

wells is also available.The online database companion

to the interactive oil and gas mapcontains a listing of the names ofthe geologic formations drilled

through for each well, the depth ofthe formation top, the geologic ageof each formation and its eleva-tion. Now this geologic data andother well information can be ex-ported to an Excel spreadsheet ina way that allows users to down-load only the data they are inter-ested in rather than the entiredatabase.

It was painstaking detail workby DENRs geologists to success-fully add these new functions toDENRs interactive oil and gasinitiative map, but the end prod-ucts will be very useful to oil andgas companies working in SouthDakota, said DENR SecretarySteve Pirner.

by Coach Ralph KroetchThe Philip Scotties Cross Coun-

try team began its 2013 seasonFriday, August 30, in the DouglasEarly Bird Invitational held onthe Box Elder Prairie Ridge GolfCourse.

The girls race began with tem-peratures in the 80s. The LadyScotties were the only B divisionteam competing against AA and Adivision schools from SouthDakota and Wyoming. Team re-sults were Rapid City Stevens jun-ior varsity 22 points, Philip 49,Spearfish 50, Custer 60, Stur-gis 92 and Lead 97.

Sophomore Ellie Coyle led thefield early, going on to improveher course best by 30 seconds,while moving up one place fromher 2012 finish to second place.Her time was 12:38.

Seventh grader Jasmine Fergu-son decided early that she would

fill the Scottie second spot. She ad-vanced through the field to edgepast Rapid City Stevens GretchenTorgerson in the final meters toplace 18th in her first ever 3,000meter race, with a respectabletime of 14:32.

Junior Katlin Knutson, alsolearning the ropes, filled the thirdspot, out-sprinting Saint ThomasMores Magen German across thefinish line to place 23rd. Knutsonhad an impressive first race timeof 15:04.

Freshman Shay Hand, showingthe improvement possible fromone year to the next, cut hercourse best by 2:22 to place 25that 15:17.

Senior Allison Pekron cut 20seconds from her previous coursebest, placing 30th. Her time was15:47.

The Scotties men began their4,000 meter race with tempera-

tures in the low 90s. Team resultswere Rapid City Stevens juniorvarsity 14, Spearfish 54,Lead 64, Philip 79, PineRidge 81, Newcastle 99 andTodd County 148.

Junior Nelson Holman andsophomore Garrett Snook led theScotties early, with Holman tak-ing advantage of a long downhillto move into the top 10. The finalmeters found him out-runningSturgiss Cayden Noble for thefifth place spot. His time of 15:49was a 39 second improvementover his previous course best.

Snook filled the teams secondspot, pacing Rapid City StevensTy Ward across the finish line toplace 17th. His time of 17:11 gavehim a 41 second improvementover his 2012 course best.

The youth of this years teambecame apparent as freshmanDamian Bartels filled the teamsthird spot, out-pacing Pine RidgesAntonio Hernandez f or the 37thposition. Bartels time of 19:16gave him a 1:18 improvement overhis previous course best.

four spot. Martin paced much ofhis race with his freshman team-mate and finished in 43rd placewith an impressive 19:34 in hisfirst ever 3,000 meter race.

Sophomore Keegan Burnett andfreshman Conner Dekker ranmuch of this race together. In afinal push, both put NewcastlesDonavon Prell behind them toplace 51st and 52nd. Burnettstime was 20:44. Dekkers time of20:51 was an astonishing 7:13 im-provement over 2012.

Keys to Scottie success for theboys will be to get and stayhealthy. Tristen Rush should beback in our line up before midsea-son. For the ladies continuedstrong efforts. It is very importantto have that strong leader, but ofequal importance this year will bekeeping our two-through-fifthrunners in close proximity of oneanother, allowing few other run-ners between.

The next meet for the Scottieswill be at 10:00 a.m., Friday, Sep-tember 6, in Faith. Plans are forthe team to be back in Philip forthe 2:00 Homecoming parade.

Larson, Hamill run inLeading Ladies Marathon

Vonda Hamill, left, and Trisha Larson competed in the Leading Ladies'Marathon, Sunday, August 18, in Spearfish Canyon. This was the first full

distance marathon race for both of them, though each has completed halfmarathons. Larson ran the 26.2 miles in a time of 3:35.23, setting an av-erage mile time of 8:14. She placed 18th out of 161 women. Larsons timeeasily qualifies her to enter the Boston Marathon. Her age brackets qual-ifying time is 3:45. Though she is not planning on entering the Boston, shehas filled her mother, Kerry Burnss, footsteps by qualifying for it. Hamillran it in a time of 5:29.14, thus accomplishing an average mile time of12:34, to place 141st out of 161 runners. Something I wanted to try, seeif I could do it. It definitely wouldnt be easier next year, or even the nextyear, said Hamill. When you train out here on the gravel, heat, horseflies,its like boot camp. There its like fluf f, cool, beautiful. My goal was to finish... without medical attention.
