Kadoka Press wins awards at SD Newspaper Association Convention Harriet Noteboom has been selected as the May Resident of the Monthat the Kadoka Nursing Home.

She was born to Henry and Cornelia Roghair in Si bley, Iowa, on No-vember 10, 1916. Harriet was raised in a family of 12 children -- six boysand six girls. She was the oldest of the girls and today, she has a sisterand two brothers still living.

The family moved to Okaton, SD, where she attended grade schooland her first year of high school. I remember that I was always the onlygirl in my class, Harriet noted. In order for her younger sisters to attendschool, she dropped out of school to help at home but continue her edu-cation through correspondence courses until she received her diploma.

While her brothers worked in the field, she girls were busy cookingand sewing. My dad said, None of my girls are going to wear pants!Therefore they stayed busy sewing dresses for the girls. Well, that wasuntil WWII when some of the boys went off to war and the girls helpedout in the field.

Then it was on to Chamberlain where she took nursing training andlater worked as a practical nurse at the Chamberlain hospital. The hos-pital, she said, closed during the depression, but she continued to workfor several years.

Harriet married Dick Noteboom in Japan when he was in the serviceand they lived there for nine months. He retired from the service after 20years and moved back to the family place in Okaton. The couple enjoyedtraveling, which included trips to Mexico, Canada and all over theUnited States.

Harriet cared for her husband when his heath started failing until hebecame a resident at the Kadoka Nursing Home. He passed away in 2008and on June 29, 2010, Harriet became a resident at the home.

She recalls her younger years, learning to crochet when she was onlyfive years old and never being too fond of sweets. Id rather have acracker than a cookie, she said. I never was a coffee drinker.

She went on to say that food is the least of her worries, she wouldrather read.

A deadly mock crash occurred

behind the Wall Community Cen-ter on Wednesday, April 25. Thecrash was the result of a drunkdriver hitting a suburban full ofyoung people. The crash sent sevento the hospital, one to the mortuaryand the driver to jail.

Im so sorry, Im so sorry werethe words uttered over and over byWall senior Alexis Billings who wasdriving the jeep that had hit a sub-urban full of her friends. When the911 call came in freshmen studentsfrom Wall, Philip and Kadoka lis-tened as Samra Trask, who wasfirst upon the accident, describedthe scene to the dispatcher. 911 dis-patched the South Dakota High-way Patrol, local deputies fromWall, fire departments from Wall,Interior and Philip and the Walland Rapid City ambulances alongwith Life Flight.

The FRESHMAN IMPACT:

Caught in the Moment drug and al-cohol awareness program consistsof multiple learning stations forstudents ranging from a coursesimulating drunk driving to a pres-entation showing what happens ina rollover if you are not wearingyour seatbelt and a mock accident.

The National Guard CounterDrug Program from Rapid Citybrought a climbing wall and a OH58 Kiowa helicopter for students toexperience getting high on life, noton drugs.

Game, Fish and Park personnelexplained the importance of wear-ing a life jacket and protective gearand not drinking while out on thewater.

The Wall, Philip and InteriorFire departments gave mockdemonstrations on how they extri-cate people from wreckages.

The Wall ambulance thenshowed how a patient is strappedto a backboard and loaded into anambulance.

The Front Porch Coalitiontalked to the students about sui-cide prevention. Presentationswere also given on texting whiledriving and synthetic drugs.

These learning stations were

taught by local law enforcement,fire and rescue personnel, and peo-ple that have been impacted by theeffects of driving under the influ-ence of drugs and alcohol.

South Dakota State Troopersshowed students slides of fatalwrecks while Trooper Ross, who isa restorations officer of crashscenes, explained to students theimportance of respecting vehiclesand others and to be observant ofroad conditions. Trooper Ross em-phasized the reasons to pay atten-tion while traveling. Ross asked,Is there anything in this world youneed to be an hour early for? Hethen went on to say this is why weare here today, all the slides are ofpeople who killed themselves forstupid reasons.

As students proceeded to themock accident, screams of pain,crying and sirens in the background could be heard.

EMTs, fire fighters, troopers andparamedics accessed the most crit-ical and the Life Flight helicopterand hearse were then called to theaccident.

After the last victim was loadedinto the ambulance and the fatalityplaced in a body bag, students wereasked to line up two-by-two andproceed through the Honor Guard,back into the community center.When the students entered into thegrand hall they were met by a cas-

ket with a senior graduation pic-ture placed on the closed lid. Nextto the casket stood Brady Sudbeckfrom Kadoka, the young man whowas to graduate from high school inMay. He stood there with his headbowed because he was the one whowas in the casket.

Judge Bob Mandel from Rapid

City presided over the vehicularhomicide trial of Alexis Billings.Prosecutor Roxi Erickson arguedthat the maximum sentence shouldbe handed down. Erickson said,She was the one who got behindthe wheel after drinking. She wasthe one who drove too fast and rana stop sign. She caused the death ofa passenger and left one in criticalcondition. Your honor its not okayto drink and drive -- its criminal.Erickson ended her argument onthat note.

Dan Van Gorp argued on behalfof his client. Alexis is just a childherself, she is only 18 years old. Ifgiven a 30 year term in prison shewill be 48 when she gets out. VanGorp stated, She is sorry, she willdo anything that the court orders,but take pity on her, she is sorry.

Judge Mandel informed Billingsthat she intentionally and illegallybecame intoxicated and got behindthe wheel. There are consequencesfor what you did and I sentence youto eight years behind bars.

Actors for the mock accidentwere: Cheyenne Deering, LibbiSykora, Alexis Billings, Kailey RaeSawvell, Anna Kitterman, KaleLytle, Ryder Wilson from the WallHigh School and Tess Byrd, SeanIreland and Brady Sudbeck withKadoka Area High School.

As the South Dakota StateTroopers say, If this program

keeps just one of our teens frommaking a wrong decision, it isworth all of the time and money in-vested.

Brady Sudbeck, Sean Irelan-dand Tess Byrd volunteered to bein the skit and put in two practicesessions before the event. Sean wasthe main character in the skit,while Brady was Seans body dou-ble in the accident outside. Tessand Brady were made up to look asif they had just been an accidentand laid out in the wrecked vehi-cles where ambulance and fireunits were able to run through apractice response session. TessByrds character the passenger inthe vehicle who was struck by thedriver who was under the influ-enced was life-flighted.

Church Calendar

Read Ephesians 3:14-21Have you ever wondered if you are a "whole person"?

We all have struggles in life that could make us feel in-complete, but the apostle Paul says we can be "filled upto all the fullness of God" (v. 19). What does that look

like?A "whole person" is generally satisfied with life. He feels loved and is able to love others in return. Dif-

ficulties and hardships don't devastate him, because he is able to go through them with confidence inGod. He isn't a complainer or someone who is quick to blame others. A positive attitude guards his mindsince he knows that the Lord will work everything out for good (Rom. 8:28).

Being a Christian doesn't automatically make us feel complete. Fullness comes only when we experi-ence God's love for us. For many years, I knew theologically that the Lord loved me. I even preachedabout it, but I didn't really feel it. Only after I took a deep look at my life and started dealing with eventsthat had fractured my soul in childhood did I begin to experience His love in an intimate way. Once I feltthe security of His love for me, I discovered great joy in walking in obedience to His will. The reason wasthat I knew I could trust Him to meet all my needs in His time and way.

Do you feel God's love, or is it just a biblical fact to you? If you long for wholeness, the key is to expe-rience an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. This is possible only when you're willing to open upand let the Lord search your heart. He'll reveal what's holding you back from accepting His l ove.

Stay Safe & Buckle Up!

The word chronic means long-term and unrelenting, not some-thing that goes away quickly. Addto this the descriptor pain, andyou have chronic pain, which hap-pens to too many people in toomany guises.

There is chronic low back pain,recurrent migraine headaches, thepost-herpetic pain following shin-gles, the neuropathic foot pain ofdiabetes, and the body-wide mus-cle pain and focal tenderness of fi-bromyalgia, to name a few.Recently I learned about anotherchronic pain diagnosis called re-gional sympathetic dystrophy,which can sometimes follow a com-plex orthopedic surgery.The bad news is that once a personhas one of these chronic pain syn-dromes, it is very difficult to be ridof it, like an unwanted guest whonever wants to leave. Surgery istoo often no help and sometimesmakes it worse. And too frequentlyour medicines are not enough help,even when accelerated up to nar-cotics, muscle relaxers, or anti-seizure drugs. Even injections ofsteroids are invasive, expensive,and if overused can be harmful.

And in the end, too many people

still suffer, the pain takes control,and shuts them down.

Most helpful is to understandthat the cause or at least the wors-ening of such chronic pain can befrom not enough movement. If a

joint or muscle i s not used regu-larly, it barks and bites when

called upon to moved, which inturn results in less movement,more pain, even less movementand so on. This cascade if un-stopped can result in severe dis-ability. Thus the reason they say,Use it, or lose it! Add to this moretime to dwell on the pain, often asense of hopelessness, the addic-tion potential of pain meds, and itbecomes a viscious cycle.Paradoxically very often the mosteffective way to bring someone outof spiraling and progressivechronic pain is to get them moving.The answer is usually not moresurgery or more pain medicines. Ofcourse each case is different, andsometimes severe inflammationneeds to be rested, but often care-fully moving through stiffness andcausing some pain can be the an-swer. As they say, You sometimeshave to pain to gain.

One patient told me his besthelp was to accept the fact that hehas to live with pain and get onwith life. Studies show that returnto function, although not easy, isthe key to rehabilitation. Thiscomes with physical/occupationaltherapy, rehab programs, andmostly an internal drive to get bet-

ter and get moving.Chronic pain doesnt have to meanprogressive immobility, disability,and hopelessness. We should re-member to accept the pain whenwe have to, and, when advised bythe doctor, to move those muscles.Use it, or lose it.

January 1, 2000.

Everyone has me all figuredout. I think I have to become moreunpredictable. Take the restau-rant Im in while writing this.When I came in, they said hi and,without asking what I wanted,brought me water, coffee, cream,and a stirring spoon. Neither did

they bring me a menu. They knewI would probably take the special,and, if not that, I would still, ex-cept on very rare occasions, al-ready know what I felt l ike eating.Hows that for predictability? Tut,tut.

Its the same down at the gro-cery store. If my brand of laundrydetergent goes on sale, they justautomatically order a case of it forme. They know Ill need it beforelong, and theyre nice enough toget it for me at a reduced pricewhen possible. I cant really com-plain about that.

Even the post office has mynumber. If I walk in and theres apackage for me, theyll get it andhand it to me before I have time toopen the box and find the little slipsaying I have a package.

My appearance doesnt changemuch either except maybe for the

length of my hair since I seldomget haircuts in a timely manner.My dress code normally consists of

jeans plus either a sweatshirt inthe winter or a pocket T-shirt inthe summer. Depending on thetemperature, I might have on abrown leather jacket or a jean

jacket. The shirts are generallygray, brown, blue or some otherfairly dull color although I do haveone maroon pocket T and a redsweatshirt. Those are, of course,for festive occasions or when Im ina particularly cheerful frame ofmind.

Maybe because I myself am sopredictable (and/or dull,) I some-what enjoy those folks who arent.Theyre fun to watch although Idont usually try to emulate theirbehavior or be that way myself.Opposites attract and all that. Forinstance, there is a youngish localsalesman who amuses me. Younever know what hell be wearingnext. It might be extremelypointed shoes, a jaunty hat, cut-offs, low-slung jeans, or anythingelse that strikes his fancy. When-ever Im in the vicinity of where hemight be, I keep a lookout for himto see what hes up to that day. I

have a young cousin, too, that Idont always immediately recog-nize since she changes her clothesand hairstyle at the drop of a hat.Im talking about a completechange in looks here from day today, and not just a few simple mod-ifications. Its the same for a local

rancher who sometimes is dressedas a cowboy, which he partly is, butalso as a baseball player or a busi-nessman. Occasionally I have tolook twice to recognize him. I callhim a chameleon.

There are some fairly wild cow-boys around as well that keep youguessing. We have employed some,and others are seen at brandingsand other local affairs. Scott wasone such character who worked onthe place a while back. I have apicture of him calmly sitting on atame roan cow in the middle of apasture. Talk about being a cowboy. To the best of my recollection,that is not something I have everdone or, I guess, particularlywanted to do. It was fun to see himdo it, however. We have similarsuch fellows around now althoughI will mention no names to some-what protect their lack of inno-

cence.Come to think of it, though, in-stead of worrying about being toopredictable, I should just redefinemyself. I may be easy enough tofigure out, but, on the other hand,Im fairly stable. Thats a goodthing, isnt it? I mean, I haventever really taken off at a momentsnotice to vacation in Tahiti as Ivealways threatened to do, althoughI do have a valid passport in case Iwant to. I remember to pay thelight bill and am not in the habitof reeling home at 3:00 a.m. Theremust be something halfway re-spectable about that.

Not only that. This restaurantIm in hasnt completely figuredme out yet anyway. They still, ex-cept for one server, always bringme an after-dinner mint which Inever eat. The same server also re-members I certainly dont need astraw in my drinking water andwill immediately remove it if itsthere. The other servers haventcottoned on to those things just yetso maybe Im not completely pre-dictable and boring to all of them.Im just stable. You can count onme. See. It all comes down to howyou look at it.

A new horse racing exhibit Atthe Drop of a Hat has opened atthe Casey Tibbs SD Rodeo Center.The proverbial At the Drop of a

Hat title represents how horseraces were originally started.

The Rodeo Center displays writ-ten recollections of racing availablefrom the late 1800s to the present.With the rich history of horse rac-ing in South Dakota, early rodeosincluded races of all types as eitherrodeo events or part of the celebra-tion. Early races included horse re-lays, free for alls, hides, chariotsand ponies.

Volunteer Researcher DianaMelvin states, As far back as therewere people and horses, there wasa spirit of competition fuelinghumans enjoyment of things thatgo fast.

The Rodeo Center was the bene-factor of some of local horse breederClarence Bearrys personal tro-phies, photos and papers upon hisdeath. Gathering the itemsprompted the creation of this tem-

porary exhibit at the Rodeo CenterMuseum. The display consists ofmany articles, newspapers andphotos.

Visitors will probably recognizemany of our locals in the photos,Melvin states. We received quite acollection of photos from familiesinvolved in horse racing over thedecades.

One of which is Casey Tibbsgrandfather, who was a horsemanand race horse trainer. CaseyTibbs owners jockey silks are partof the display.

The temporary exhibit will beavailable for viewing until Septem-ber when a new temporary exhibitwill be unveiled. Contact the RodeoCenter for museum hours.

Several volunteers supportedthe research effort and exhibitpreparation. Butch Tinant whotrained race horses for ClarenceBearry provided pedigree research

that traces the early breeding pro-gram of Bearry to Jeanne Ander-

sons National Finals Rodeo (NFR)Barrel Horse (2010 and 2011). An-derson a resident of Kansas hascampaigned a barrel racing horse

that is a direct descendant ofBearrys horses. This is just one ex-ample of the many breeding pro-grams in South Dakota thatincluded world famous SD racingto the rodeo arena stories.

While Bearrys gift was the im-petus for the display the breeders,trainers and owners stories go deepin South Dakotas history. Caseyand Dee Hannum loaned Bearrysrefurbished chariot- a main stay inearly chariot races to the museum.

Local horsewoman Mary Comp-ton Puckett provided research onseveral local youth who have be-come successful jockeys and train-ers nationally and internationally.Her sons Bobby, Perry and JimmyCompton, Terry and Turner, FredEcoffey and others.

Nearby Agar, South Dakota washome to the Asmussen racing fam-ily. Keith and sons, Cash and

Steve, have influenced the sport ofkings worldwide.The photos, stories and artifacts

make this truly an exciting and en-joyable display filling the tempo-rary exhibit space at the museum.

You will want to return more thanonce as several great racing torodeo stories are being added. Therace horse history and the influ-ence on rodeo runs so deep andwide in the lives of South Dakotansthat it is planned to expand the ex-hibit each spring to coincide withthe annual horse racing in FortPierre. You will be delighted to findwhere early races were held, whenpari-mutuel betting and regulationbegan and who bought a two mil-lion dollar simulcast ticket inSouth Dakota.

Giving Our Loyalty to all VeteransMen went to war for me,

So I give my thanks to thee.They shot their guns and pulled their sword.

Before that they prayed to the Lord.

Men saw things they didnt want to see.But maybe that was how God intended it to be.

Men lost the beating of their heart,Some families had theirs broken apart.

Men had friends they didnt want to lose.They went home to tell their families the bad news.

So I give my thanks to thee,To the men that died for me.

How can I Show my Patriotism

in my Community

Do you know how to show patriotism in your community? Every time Ihear the Star Spangled Banner I stop, take off my hat, and respect theflag, but it takes a lot more work to show how much we care about ourcountry and its veterans.

The first thing I would do is start picking up trash around my commu-nity. Picking up trask can be a massive job. If you dont pick up trash, yourwhole town will look like a junk yard and nobody is going to want to visit

your cluttered, dirty city. When your town is spotlessly clean, tourists,businessmen, and veterans are going to want to become part of it.

The second thing I would do is thank those veterans who served theircountry or aggressively fought for all Americans. It doesnt matter whereyou are, if you see a man or woman who has served our great country,thank them for what they have done. They leave their families to fightand put their lives at risk to keep our country safe.

Finally, I would help people in need. I would go to the nursing home tosee if anybody needs help reading the newspaper or writing a letter. Inthe summer I would help people mow lawns. During the winter, I wouldhelp scoop snow.

Showing patriotism takes a lot of work. I can do it in my community,please join me and honor our country.

Jarred Hicks1st place Class I - Grade 3 & 4 - Essay

How can I Show my Patriotism

in my Community

To show patriotism means to show respect to the flag and the veteransof the U.S.A. The veterans have fought for peoples lives and their country.Thank them for the freedoms we have. Past veterans have saved our coun-try from Iraq, Great Britain, and Spanish soldiers.

The U.S.A. has been though a lot. Most people ask, Why should theysave us, we are a free country? We werent always a free country. Patriotslike Paul Revere saved us by doing something most people wouldnt dolike ring the bell to warn of the enemy soldiers approaching. Who wouldbe brave enough to lead soldiers against a regular army of British soldiers?General George Washington led the men into war and helped them fightagainst the British.

To show respect to the veterans is to show them that you care. In yourcommunity when you see a veteran needing help (if they are retired), youstop what you are doing and go help. Show respect to veterans in yourarea and dont ignore them.

The thing to do is to help veterans mow their lawns or help them walkaround to other destinations. If you see a veterans struggling with gro-ceries, just stop what you are doing and go help them carry the groceries.

Veterans arent just people, they are our brave Saviors. Some veteranstragically lost their lives and other made it out barely alive. Do your partin your community, show them the respect they deserve and help themwhenever you can.

Jacob Young1st place Class II - Grade 5 & 6 - Essay

Giving Our Loyalty to all VeteransThankful is what we should be

Past and present Veterans have courageously fought for meEvery bloody footstep they did take

Will not be a tragic mistake

Veterans we give our undying trustThey disappear into the everlasting dust

Countless families have lostVeterans paying the ultimate cost

Veterans we do fondly adoreWhile they have fearlessly fought in tremendous wars

We tenderly treat them like royaltyRespect all Veterans and give them your eternal loyalty

Kaylee Eisenbraun1st place Class III - Grade 5 - Poem

Our VeteransAlways be loyal to our veterans as they give it to use.

Show them we care.They are the ones who fought for us and for our country.

Show loyalty to our veterans.

Show trust-worthiness and people will trust us more.Show trust-worthiness by helping people.

Help clean up the community.Help rake an elderly persons yard for them.

Respect our veterans and they will respect you the same way.I respect my veterans, so I will get the same respect back.

Be nice. Be generous.Help our veterans.

SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT: Supt.Hermann reported that the Title I SchoolImprovement Plan has been completedand submitted. The Dakota Step testingis near completion. We are still waiting tosee if the States AYP waiver has beenapproved by the U.S. Department of Ed-ucation. The Indian Education grant ap-plication is in process with part II of theapplication.

We are working on next years budget.Impact Aid is an important part of the dis-tricts finances and if the district qualifiesfor heavily impacted status it would meana large increase in that funding.
