Memorial Day 2013
paying tribute to those who served
Memorial Day services were held in Belivdere on Monday, May 27. Presenting the colors at the cemetery are Glenn Freeman (L) who served in the US Navy, Bud Perault who servied in the US Navy, Ted Vobr who served in the US Army, Tojo Osborn who
served in the US Army, and while Bob Bork played Taps. Flags were also placed on the graves of the soliders who have passed on.
Scrappy returned to South
Dakota on Sunday, May 25 and will
now make his home at Discount
Fuel.
Sculptured by Brett and Tammy
Prang of Incredible Metal,
Scrappy has had quite a trip to fi-
nally.
He was commissioned by Gene
and Ruth Lehmann, who are from
near Kerrville, Texas. Genes inten-
tions were for Scrappy to be
placed at the Kerrville High
School, where he and several of his
family members graduated from.
Scrappy was the high school mas-
cot for the Kerrville Antlers.
Gene commissioned him from
the Prangs and donated him to the
school. The school chose to not
place him at the school because of
liability issues, so they decided to
put him up for auction. The Prangs
contacted some art investors who
might be interested in him and
traveled to Texas to attend the auc-
tion.
The Prangs were able to pur-
chase Scrappy for Discount Fuel
owners, Mark and Tammy Carlson.
Scrappy is 17 feet tall and like
several other large art pieces sculp-
tured by the Prangs, a South
Dakota license plate is included,
which they were fortunate enough
to find from a gentleman in the
eastern part of South Dakota, who
uses the name scrappy on his li-
cense plate. Also included is the
Frying Pan Ranch brand, which is
the name of Prangs ranch and has
been in Bretts family for four gen-
erations.

Compiled of many items, Scrappy is one of the several large art scupltures cre-
ated by Brett and Tammy Prang of Incredible Metal. He has traveled many miles
and has found his way back to South Dakota.

Read 1 John 5:13-15
The Father has provided the Holy Spirit to teach His
children about His will for their lives (John 14:26). Why,
then, do we have difficulty understanding what the plan
is?
We make decisions based on emotion. When life presses in on us, our instinct is to move away from the
source of stress or pain. At such times, our need to remove difficulties and turmoil from our life can take
precedence over the Lords plan. We figure He could not possibly want us to feel this way, so we take action
and then hope that we are in His will. Our emphasis is on ourselves rather than on Gods purposes.
We focus only on the immediate. Many times we come to the Lord troubled about the choices we or our
loved ones are facing. We do not see how this situation could possibly be His will. Our short-term focus pre-
vents us from seeing Gods long-term purposes.
We conduct a superficial search. In our desire for an answer, we can fall into a trap and treat finding
Gods will like a checklistread the Bible, pray, fast, serve, worship, give. Then, satisfied with what we have
done, we press the Lord for His answer now. But we have neglected to give God the time and stillness needed
for us to hear from Him (Ps. 46:10). Investing time with our Creator is a necessity, not a luxury, and listening
to Him without distractions is essential.
How much Bible study is required to find out what our heavenly Father wants for us? What amount of
prayer? What quantity of time? The answer is simple: Whatever it takes to hear from God. He will answer.
The question is, Will we wait?

Laura Morgan__________________
Commoditization of the United
States cattle industry
I recently read a report by one of
our cattle market analysts, who
tried to identify what issues and/or
policies had damaged the cattle in-
dustry the most. Great question ...
with an exploding population that
needs to feed itself, one would cer-
tainly wonder why the United
States cattle industry is contract-
ing.
The analyst identified two such
issues, but he also exposed the ex-
tremes that such folks as himself,
certain industry groups, and some
of our more social media will go to
distort the facts and create smoke
screens to accomplish their social-
istic agenda. The article states that
mandatory country of origin label-
ing (COOL) for fresh meat prod-
ucts has added billions of dollars
of costs to the livestock and meat
industry. WOW billions! Some-
body needs to tell him that COOL
has only been in effect since 2009
and that even the packers and re-
tailers couldn't come up with a fig-
ure that ridiculous.
Then he goes on to say that the
blame for COOL lies squarely with
a tiny minority of livestock pro-
ducers.
These are the same tactics used
by our monthly Beef Enquirer-like
publications that we get for free to
create public record to try and
show a lack of producer support.
The problem is that when you
look at all the local and state Farm
Bureau, Farmers Union and cattle-
men's groups you will find over-
whelming producer support for
mandatory COOL.
He then goes to say, Surveys
showed consumers didn't care
about labeling. WOW, I believe
what we have seen reported is just
the opposite with multiple surveys
showing consumer support for
COOL.
And then he finishes up by say-
ing that USDA (United States De-
partment of Agriculture) changes
will only increase discrimination
against foreign born livestock. Not
sure what changes hes talking
about, but the ones submitted by
USDA to come into WTO (World
Trade Organization) compliance
are designed to reduce the discrim-
ination practice yielded by U.S.
packers in an effort to kill COOL. I
still think what the packers did
bordered on anti-competitive and
discriminatory practices ... a heck
of a thing to witness in this coun-
try.
I point this out on COOL not be-
cause I believe anyone really buys
into these distortions, as we all un-
derstand the extremes these folks
will go to and certainly they have
lost their credibility with the aver-
age U.S. cattle producers. Rather, I
point this out because these are the
same people and groups that told
you in the late 80s and the 90s
that you need to learn to compete
in a global market; however, they
oppose you identifying your prod-
uct. They also told you that your
competition was poultry and pork
and not imports.
Thats interesting, because it
was recently announced that the
National Pork Producers Council
and the Cattlemen's Beef Board
have been working in partnership
for nearly two years to provide
more consumer-friendly names
for 350 new and older cuts of beef
and pork under URMIS (Uniform
Retail Meat Identity Standards)
with some of the pork cuts adapt-
ing beef names. Now while some of
this appears good, other changes
have the potential to reduce and
confuse beef sales. For example, no
longer is it just pork chops; now it
will be ribeye chops, porterhouse
chops, and New York chops. So
when the young housewife walks
up to the meat counter to buy a
ribeye for her loved one, she will
be asked by the meat retailer, pork
or beef? She may then very well
ask the perceived professional,
What do you suggest?
I imagine the response by the re-
tailer will depend on which product
gives him the most profit, along
with his own biases.
I understand why the pork folks
went for this, but heres the prob-
lem for U.S. cattle producers.
These meat cut names, while not
trademarked brand names, act
very much like brand names for the
beef/cattle industry. Consumers are
familiar with these terms in beef
and relate those names to such
things as flavor, tenderness and
quality. Historically, consumers
have made decisions based on
these names, they have become the
brand-like name of each cut, and
you dont conspire to let your com-
petitor use your brand name!
It is well understood that brand
names simplify shopping and aid in
processing of information about
products; however, these types of
changes complicate meat buying
decisions for consumers and com-
promise beef s ability to separate
itself in the animal protein market
and promote itself. As the EBAC
noted, People recognize brand and
attach a certain intrinsic value to
the product because of its name
like ribeye, New York, porterhouse,
T-bone those names kind of make
your mouth water, dont they?
Another marketing expert goes
on to say, Do NOT underestimate
the power of name brands. This
power can be so compelling to your
buyers that they may be blinded to
all other purchase considerations.
But not now, not with beef. No won-
der Patrick Fleming of the Na-
tional Pork Board said it will aid
the consumers decision-making
on pork by adapting beef nomencla-
ture for pork. In other words, they
will sell more pork ... at beef s ex-
pense.
So, as we look to answer the
question of what issues and/or poli-
cies have done the most damage to
U.S. cattle herd, I would have to
say the destructionist trade policies
of some of our industry groups and
our social media, who have had no
problem sacrificing U.S. producers
for trade liberalization, as well as
the social commoditization and
standardization of our industry
and the fading product identity in
the animal protein domestic and
global market; instead of concen-
trating on differentiating between
our products, we are blurring the
lines.

The Dakota Niners eighth grade
baskeball team won a tournament
recently in Omaha, Nebraska. The
Dakota Niners teams are made up
of basketball players from all over
the state of South Dakota and com-
pete with teams from all over the
Midwest. Justice Morrison of Nor-
ris is a member of the team. Con-
gratulations, we are proud of you.
Carol Ferguson worked at the
Post Office in Belvidere on Monday
and in Norris on Wednesday.
Wednesday the eighth grade
graduation and middle school
awards program was held at White
River. Those graduating from
eighth grade from Norris were
Loren Good Shield, Nate Huber,
Justice Morrison, Ashton Olson,
Jace Schmidt, and Morgan Taft.
Norris students received their
share of the awards given and
more. Morgan Taft received the
Student of the Year honor and
Susan Taft was presented a beau-
tiful star quilt in recognition for
her years of volunteer service to
the White River School District. We
are very proud of all of you. Several
receptions were held in their honor
following the program.
Samantha Taft surprised her
family when she arrived home in
time for her sister Morgans eighth
grade graduation.
The greatest news is all the
moisture we have received recently.
Norris area has gotten over three
and one-half inches at least and
perhaps more since some has been
hard to measure. It has done won-
ders for the countryside. It is lush
and green and still growing. The
lilac bushes and fruit trees are
loaded with blossoms, too. Chances
for a lot of plums, chokecherries
and other wild fruit this year are
really great. It is amazing how rain
can change our outlook on life and
especially the future. The Lord has
truly blessed us.
James and Marjorie Anne Letel-
lier were among the crowd attend-
ing the eighth grade graduation at
White River on Wednesday after-
noon.
Kristy and John WoodenKnife
hosted a reception in honor of their
grandson, Tanner Haukaas, who
graduated from eighth grade
Wednesday at the Norris Township
Hall. Tanner lives in White River
but wanted to celebrate at Norris
and that is fine with us.
Last day of school for Norris and
White River was Thursday with a
12:30 p.m. dismissal. Have a great
summer, students and teachers
alike. Folks remember to be drive
carefully because the kids are out
and about.
Thursday Ed Ferguson hauled
cows to Ft. Pierre and on Friday Ed
was among those friends and
neighbors helping Wes Schmidt
brand.
Thursday evening, Sue Larson
of Rapid City, Julie Letellier of Kil-
gore, Nebraska, Beaver Burma,
Andrea Beckwith and Grandma
Marjorie Anne Letellier traveled as
far as Mitchell on their way to the
South Dakota State Track Meet in
Sioux Falls.
Friday they spent cheering on
Marjoriess grandson, DJ Beck-
with, and the Sunshine Bible Acad-
emy team. Being West River South
Dakota is a thrill when it comes to
track; we can just about cheer for
someone we know in every heat in
every race and we did. White River
and Kadoka kept us busy, too.
We returned home on Friday
evening and were glued to the com-
puter all day Saturday for the re-
sults of the finals. Congratulations
to all the participants and winners,
they are a great bunch of kids and
make us very proud.
Jean Kary accompanied June
Ring to the Mellette County Cattle-
women meeting at the museum in
White River on Thursday after-
noon.
Dorothy Bligh brought Maxine
Allard in so she could decorate
graves at Norris on Friday.
The Norris Cemetery always
seems to have a lot of visitors for
such a little out of the way place.
Some folks come regularly from as
far away as Colorado and Rapid
City. We sure appreciate the hard
work from the local guys. The
cemetery looked very nice for Me-
morial Weekend.
Friday morning, June Ring
babysat at Bruce Rings while
Jessie took Reno to Rosebud for an
appointment. That evening June
visited at Maxine Allards home
and was a supper guest.
June Ring was among the sup-
per guests helping little Bradley
Huber celebrate his third birthday
on Saturday night at the home of
his parents David and Nicole
Huber.
Andrea Beckwith packed up
Sunday and left for the week with
her sister, Cassie. They will be the
missionary speakers for the Vaca-
tion Bible School at the St.
Lawrence Church telling of their
work and experiences in Honduras
last June.
Get well wishes go out to Robert
Ring this week. Robert received a
pacemaker at the Rapid City Re-
gional Hospital last week and came
home on Saturday. Hope you will
soon be feeling great and back to
being your jovial self.
Cora Brickman brought Moya
out on Saturday so she could spend
a few weeks with her grandpar-
ents, Ed and Carol Ferguson. Sun-
day they were Sunday dinner
guests at the Gene and Marjorie
Popkes home at Lakeview. Mar-
jories son, Joe Grimshaw, and his
children from Omaha were also
there and are visiting for a few
days.
Dont forget the slow pitch soft-
ball games at Norris. Richard and
Crystal Charging Hawk are host-
ing a tournament. Make up a team
and come and compete. A team
must consist of six guys and six
gals. The guys have worked real
hard to have the new ball field
mowed, fenced and ready for ac-
tion. guys have worked real hard to
have the new ball field mowed,
fenced and ready for action.
Sunday afternoon visitors of
Maxine Allard were Ken and Joyce
Koistenen of Pierre. Ken was busy
putting out his trail cameras for
the summer and fall seasons.
Sunday evening June Ring de-
livered cookies for the Utecht Min-
istries and attended church at the
Lord Warriors Lutheran Church in
Parmelee.
Memorial Day afternoon, James
and Marjorie Letellier, Julie Letel-
lier and Jakki and Jimmy met Sue
Larson in Scenic where they deco-
rated the Dexheimer graves. They
got in on a sudden downpour at
Cedar Pass Lodge so the kids
climbing badlands came to a sud-
den halt.
Jakki and Jimmy returned to
Rapid City with Aunt Sue while the
rest returned home to Norris. They
got home just in time to get in on
another thunderstorm that
dumped .55 of an inch of rain ac-
companied by horrific winds.
Reports from folks east of town
say they got less rain and some
hail. Hopefully the bright sunshine
this morning will give a brighter
light on the damage done.
Ethan Huber and his sister,
Amanda Fire Cloud, started out on
quite a trip Saturday night. They
left by plane at Rapid City en route
to Germany to visit their sister,
Tiffany, and her husband, Felix.
What better guide of Europe could
you have than a sister in the mili-
tary? Sounds like a trip of a life-
time to me.
When my family was all to-
gether for Mothers Day my grand-
son started himself an account on
my computer. I knew, he liked to
put things in files, so I was afraid I
wouldnt be able to find a thing.
Just when I thought, I should have
a talk with him (after all I had
never had anyone else on my com-
puter). He called me in to the com-
puter room and pointed out his icon
and said, Now Grandma, you stay
out of mine and I will stay out of
yours. Yes, Jimmy is smart; after
all he just graduated from kinder-
garten!
Hope you remembered our
United States Military this Memo-
rial Day weekend.
They are always alert and on the
job so we can go about in freedom
like no other nation on the face of
the earth. Freedom isnt free, our
Veterans pay the price.
Our thanks go out to each one of
you for wearing the uniform and
serving on our behalf. America is
great because she is safe. God Bless
America!
Have a great week!
Memorial Day services were
held as usual in Belvidere on Mon-
day. Things started at the cemetery
with the parade of colors by Bud
Perault, Glenn Freeman, Ted Vobr,
and Tojo Osborn. Bob Bork blew
Taps. A program followed at the
church hall. Greg Badure recited a
poem about the flag from memory.
Coleen Sprecher did a reading.
Larry Dolezal was the speaker. He
spoke of the many who gave their
lives in defense of our country and
continued with an assessment of
where we are now and what we
need to do and be careful of in the
future. Glenn Freeman spoke of
how the local Legion post was in
danger of being disbanded due to a
shortage of members. More mem-
bers were found last year from
those with ties to the community so
Post 144 can continue for a while at
least. Marlene Perault organized
the program as she often does. A
potluck dinner followed the pro-
gram. About 75 to 80 people were
present at the hall, and some oth-
ers were at the cemetery but could-
nt stay for the program at the hall.
Phyllis Owens came from Rapid
City for Memorial Day services as
usual. She came with her youngest
son, Tracy. Phyllis was raised in
Belvidere and lived in the area a
number of years after she was
grown and married. Her folks ran
a caf and pool hall for a time and
are both buried at the Belvidere
cemetery as are both sets of her
grandparents, both Carrico and
Pluta. She has her brother, Tom
Carrico, buried here as well along
with various cousins and other rel-
atives. Her living relatives in the
area are scarce now but she is re-
lated to Joe Leutenegger on the
Pluta side.
Larry Grimme was visited by
Art and Joyce Glynn of Rapid City
this weekend. The Glynns attended
church on Sunday and Memorial
Day services on Monday. Their
daughter was here as well with a
friend. Art and Joyce seldom miss
Memorial Day weekend in
Belvidere.
Dolores Obr had her daughters,
Keitha and Elaine, here for the
weekend. The family decorated
graves in several local towns on
Saturday, attended church in town
on Sunday, and services on Mon-
day.
Marie Addison had daughters
Dixie and Rena from Rapid City
with her this weekend and at serv-
ices in Belvidere on Monday.
Edward Kodet and his sister,
Janet Leitheiser, were both at the
family ranch this weekend. They
came to check on things at the
place and attend services on Mon-
day. Edward is from Minneapolis
and Janet from nearby Stillwater,
MN. Edward has always gone by
Edward to differentiate himself
from his father who went by
Eddie or Ed. The senior and
junior Edwards had the same
birthday but were born thirty years
apart.
Chuck and Merry Willard cele-
brated their fortieth wedding an-
niversary this weekend with a
family reunion of the Willard clan
that was held at the ranch. There
were 30 adults, 10 kids, and 7 dogs.
All three of Chuck and Merrys kids
were there, namely Casey, Coleen,
and Niki. All five grandkids were
there as well. Tom DeVries came
with his horse and buggy and gave
rides to whoever wanted them.
There was horseback riding, fish-
ing, eating and visiting. Many of
those attending came on Friday,
and the main event was held on
Saturday. Gus and Terry Craven of
Wanblee catered the evening meal
on Saturday. Some people came
from as far away as Miami and Al-
buquerque. Merry noted that there
was some excitement when the
dogs drug a dead rabbit through
the grounds, and grandson Faron
had to show off a big catfish hed
caught. On Sunday, Jerry and
Annie Stout came down for a visit.
Chuck and Jerry are related
through Chucks grandma, Myrt
Estes, and Jerrys grandmother,
Hazel, who were sisters. Most of
the people left on Sunday, but
daughter Coleen and family plan to
stay on a few days and maybe at-
tend some brandings with Chuck.
Merry said they had good weather
for the event, and the whole week-
end was wonderful. Chuck and
Merrys actual anniversary is on
June 2, but it was more convenient
to celebrate it on Memorial Day
weekend.
Sam and I were the best of bud-
dies for a number of years. He was
a big orange dog that was already
in residence at the ranch when I
got home from college and the
Navy. I know he was part husky,
but the rest of him was a mystery.
Whatever the mix, it was a good
one since you dont find many dogs
as nice as Sam. The folks had
named him Sandy after he was
given to them by a cousin so, for
awhile, I called him San for
short. That later became Sam
which seemed easier.
This hound had several traits
that endeared him to me. For one,
he was a one-dog welcome-home
committee. When Id been gone
and drove up the lane coming
home, I could be pretty sure Sam
would be lurking along the road
somewhere. As I drove past, an or-
ange streak would rise up and ac-
company me the last bit into the
yard. Then, when I opened the
door, his front feet would land on
my lap and a tongue might try to
give me a kiss. A hug was required.
A lapdog he wasnt since he was
much too large. He didnt necessar-
ily agree with that assessment,
however. When we were out walk-
ing on the prairie, he would range
far and wide around me but with-
out losing track of where I was. If
I sat down on a hillside, pretty
soon hed be sitting there beside
me. If I stayed there very long,
hed inch his rear closer and closer
to my lap until he was right beside
me. Then hed lift his rear one
more time and nonchalantly drop
it on my lap as if I probably would-
nt notice a big orange object
parked there. This always made
me chuckle. Id tell him he was a
silly old thing, grab him around
the middle, and hold him for a lit-
tle while. Thats what he wanted,
and then he was ready to be off
again to carefully check all the old
holes in the ground and any
bushes that might harbor things of
interest.
At home, Sam was an early-
warning system of anything that
was suspicious or might be an in-
truder. He especially hated snakes
and wouldnt quit barking at them
until someone arrived with a hoe
and removed the nasty things
head. The body needed to be dis-
posed of in the burn barrel, and
then his job was done. You couldnt
just throw it out onto the prairie,
though, since that wasnt right ac-
cording to him. Hed bark at the
corpse until it was properly dis-
posed of in the burn barrel. This
hatred of snakes was even more in-
tense after he was bitten on the
nose by a rattler that had slithered
right in front of the dog house and
got in a strike when Sam was try-
ing to get out. Sam survived the
strike, but his nose was pretty big
for a number of weeks.
Porcupine quills did pose a
problem. Sam would not let you
pull them out until youd doped
him up enough that he could
barely move. This was accom-
plished by sneaking pills into him
through cheese balls until you had
fed him enough that he could
barely drag himself around. He
adored cheese and ate it so fast
that he didnt notice the pills. Even
then you had to proceed with cau-
tion, but you could get the quills
out if you worked at it.
Although Sam was probably my
favorite of all the dogs we ever
had, there were others that were
fine too. As a kid, we had a pair
called Corky and Rex. Rex was my
companion a good bit of the time,
but Corky was more standoffish.
They were a snake-killing duo. Rex
would find them and stand bark-
ing at them until Corky arrived on
the scene. Corky would then sneak
in without getting bitten, grab the
nasty old things, and shake them
to death. Their teamwork was ap-
preciated.
Later I had Rags who was a
black-and-white, medium-sized gal
that was a sweetie. More recently,
son Chance had a black dog he
named Candy. She was a good
friend to the whole family and
lived in the house quite a bit. She
was no small thing but wasnt as
big as Sam. Wife Corinne had a
short round pooch named Noel
who was fairly frumpy but nice.
Weve had a few dogs that were
more problematic than enjoyable.
One was a purebred beagle that
was cute as the dickens but who
had no real loyalty to anyone. He
visited neighbors far and wide and
wouldnt bother to come back home
if we didnt go get him. It was a re-
lief when he finally ran off never to
return. We also once got a yellow
Lab for Chance, but he was much
too busy for all of us. A neighbor
took a shine to him, and we were
very generous and allowed him to
keep him.
Right now we dont have a dog
due to our somewhat unsettled ex-
istence. If we ever have another,
Id like him to be a lot like Sam. He
was hard to beat. If you have a dog
at present or in the future, I hope
you luck out with him as much as
I did with Sam. He and I were bud-
dies and the very best of friends.

The South Dakota State Girls
Golf Tournaments have personally
touched the lives of Frances and
Bob Getz. They attended the high
school graduation of their grand-
daughter, Hallie Getz, in Pierre
and then went to Yankton where
Hallie and the Pierre Lady Govs
participated in the State AA Golf
Tournament beginning on Monday,
May 20. The Lady Govs won the
2013 tournament with a two-day
total of 691 over second place Sioux
Falls OGorman whose team total
was 694. Hallies rounds of 76 and
77 helped her win her second con-
secutive state title. She became the
first Lady Gov to ever win two
state titles, and helped Pierre win
their first state title, overcoming a
five-stroke deficit. Pierres golf
course was flooded in 2011, but the
team overcame that disadvantage
by hard work and a never give up
attitude, according to Coach John
Knox. He also said that Hallies
dad, Roger, pushes her and a lot of
the credit goes to his support. She
will attend South Dakota State
University in Brookings in the fall.
She finished eight strokes ahead of
her closest competitor, Abbie Grev-
los of Sioux Falls Lincoln. Hallies
second cousin, Cassidy Vollmer,
won Hot Springs first girls golf
title in Milbank at the Class A
State Tournament. She is the
granddaughter of Rudy and Laura
Vollmer, former local residents.
Laura Vollmer is Bob Getz sister.
Cassidy was runner-up to last
years champion and was deter-
mined to win top spot this year.
Congratulations to both girls.

courage, from courage to liberty, from
liberty to abundance, from abundance
to selfishness, from selfishness to com-
placency, from complacency to apathy,
from apathy to dependence, from de-
pendency back to bondage. It is very
troubling when we look at where we
are today in Tylers study of the se-
quence of the worlds civilizations.
Jonathan Edwards, a theologian
who lived in the 1700s, had a saying,
hanging by a thread from a spiders
web
Today, freedom as we have known
it, is hanging by a thread from a spi-
ders web. The American military has
defended our freedom from tyrants
from outside America, but we have be-
come indifferent and apathetic from
within.
Over the last 237 years there are
lessons that we should have learned if
America is to remain free. There has
always been, there is now, and there
will always be a tyrant some place in
the world whose only goal is greed and
power. He cares nothing about his own
people. His agreements are useless.
The only way to deal with tyrants like
that is with overwhelming strength.
President Reagan said, Peace thru
strength.
If we are protect freedom in Amer-
ica, we must always have the best
paid, the best equipped, the best
trained military in the world. This has
proved to save lives. There is another
lesson America needs to learn and that
is when it comes time to deploy Amer-
ican troops, that decision must be
made by the American military leader-
ship and the elected American political
leadership; leadership that is account-
able to the American people and that
decisions NOT be made by some ap-
pointed ambassador from the United
Nations.
If American freedom is to be pre-
served, then there is another lesson to
be learned. Trial by jury has done a
good job in keeping lawlessness and
anarchy under control. Here is a les-
son to be learned and that is when you
have 12 law abiding, common sense,
tax paying citizens serving as jurors,
and they examine the evidence, espe-
cially now with advances in forensic
science, and those jurors come back to
the court and say, The evidence is so
overwhelming the defendant is guilty
beyond a shadow of a doubt. When
those same 12 law abiding, tax paying,
common sense jurors come back to the
court and say this crime was so vis-
cous, so vile, so violent, that the defen-
dant must be sentenced to death the
complacency, from complacency to ap-
athy, from apathy to dependence, from
dependency back to bondage. It is
very troubling when we look at where
we are today in Tylers study of the se-
quence of the worlds civilizations.

Stop the retrial after retrial. Stop the
appeal, after appeal, after appeal.
Carry out the execution and let justice
be swift and sure.
If the youth of this nation are to ex-
perience freedom like we have known
it, then they must be prepared for free-
dom.
They must learn that freedom is
not an entitlement but a responsibility,
a blessing, and a privilege. A privileged
that has come at a very high cost. On
May 12, 1962, General Douglas
MacArthur spoke to the cadets at West
Point. A speech that the youth of today
need to hear. He began that speech
with the motto of West Point, and I
quote Duty, Honor, Country. Those
three hallowed words reverently dic-
tate what ought to be, what you can be,
what you will be. They are your rally-
ing points to build courage when
courage seems to fail; to regain faith
when there seems to be little cause for
faith; to create hope when hope be-
comes forlorn. That is just the open-
ing sentence of that speech. Today, the
youth of this nation need to learn
about the history of America, what it
means to be a free nation, a free peo-
ple, and the cost of that freedom.
And lastly, if freedom is to prevail,
we must be told and know the truth.
Today, when we watch the news and
listen to the television commentators,
when we read the editorials on the in-
ternet, in the newspapers, and maga-
zine articles, when we get all done, we
stop and think about what we have
just watched or read, we end up asking
ourselves the question what is the
truth? If freedom as we have know it
is to survive then we must return to a
Bible based truth. Not truth as defined
by an intellectual elitist, but truth as
it is set down in the Bible. This is the
only real source of truth, and we must
return to this standard of truth.
Our founding fathers understood
this. Listen to the first sentence of the
second paragraph of The Declaration
of Independence, We hold these
truths to be self evident, that all men
are created equal, that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights, that among these
are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness. Notice the words truths,
created and creator Thomas Jefferson
said, The Bible is the cornerstone of
liberty. Andrew Jackson said The
Bible is the rock on which our republic
rests.
Today, it is time to leave behind the
falsehoods of political correctness and
return to the truth of Biblical correct-
ness.
If we do not turn from the apathy of
today and turn to the truth, in a gen-
eration, freedom will be but a memory.
Let us close with the last sentence
of The Declaration of Independence,
And for the support of this Declara-
tion, with a firm reliance on the pro-
tection of Divine Providence, we
mutually pledge to each other our
Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred
Honor. If we today are to remain free
Americans, then we must have that
same resolve and courage of our fore-
fathers.
The speech written and delivered by
Larry Dolezal on Memorial Day 2013.
Memorial Day is a day set apart in
the United States for the decorating of
the graves of members of its military
forces and, also, to remember those
who have served and those who are
now serving in the military of the
United States
The observance began when South-
ern women began placing spring flow-
ers on the graves of fallen soldiers
during the Civil War. In 1868, General
John Logan, then commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic, is-
sued an order to members of his organ-
ization to decorate the graves of their
comrades with flowers on May 30. The
practice was later extended to honor
soldiers of all wars.
Memorial Day is a very important
part of our small community here in
Belvidere. Let us remember, not just
today, but everyday that freedom is not
free, but that it has come at a tremen-
dous cost to the American military.
From July 4, 1776 to May 30, 2013,
237 years, tens of thousands in the
American military have made the ulti-
mate sacrifice so that we might be and
live a free people.
Jesus said it best Greater love has
no one than this, that one lay down his
life for his friends.
Today, in order that we might gain
a deeper and greater understanding of
the phrase the ultimate sacrifice let
us have a brief lesson on the cost of
freedom. A cost that has been carried
by the American military.
From the time of the American Rev-
olution when the minutemen fired the
shot heard round the world at Con-
cord where eight minutemen died and
ten were wounded, then on to Bunker-
hill and when the American Revolu-
tionary War ended in 1783, when at
Yorktown, where British General
Cornwallis surrendered, Americans
were free but the cost of freedom to
the American militia was 25,000 dead
and 25,000 wounded. The dead in-
cludes those killed in combat, those
who died from disease and those who
died aboard British prison ships. Free-
dom is not free but comes at a tremen-
dous cost.
When the War of 1812 ended, the
number of dead and wounded was
20,000.
We remember the Civil War, the
battles at Vicksburg, Antedem and
Gettysburg. When the war ended at
Appomatox, 625,000 soldiers had died
so that all men might be free.
Remember the high cost of freedom.
We remember World War I where
chemical warfare was used. Tank war-
fare was new, and the air war was re-
ally new. From 1914 to 1918 when the
Peace Treaty was signed and World
War I ended, the American military
had lost 116,516 killed and another
204,000 wounded.
Remember the high cost of freedom.
We remember World War II, the air
war, the war on the seas and under the
oceans with submarines, the land bat-
tles, the Battle of the Bulge, Omaha
Beach, D-Day, Normandy, the war in
the Pacific, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima
and so many more. When the Peace
Treaty was signed on the Battle Ship
Missouri, the combat deaths were
291,557, and the non-combat were
listed as 113,842 for a total of 405,399
and the wounded numbered 670,846.
There is another number we must
never forget and that is the ones listed
as missing, that number from World
War II is 30,314.
Remember the high cost of freedom.
From 1950 to July 27, 1953, Amer-
ica was in the Korean War when the
cease fire was signed 36,516 Ameri-
cans had died, 92,134 were wounded
and 4,759 were listed as missing.
In the Vietnam War, 58,209 Amer-
icans died. Another 153,303 were
wounded and 2,489 are listed as miss-
ing.
In the combined Iraq and
Afghanistan War on Terror 6,518 have
died. 41,936 have been wounded and
three are listed as missing.
Let us always remember Freedom
is not free but has come at a very high
cost.
Now, when we hear the phrase the
ultimate sacrifice, we have a deeper
understanding and greater reverence
for the number of Americans who have
died, so that we might live free.
In the late 1700s, Professor Alexan-
der Tyler wrote this,the average age
of the worlds great civilizations has
been 200 years. These nations have
progressed through the following se-
quence; from bondage to spiritual
The high cost of freedom
South Dakotas Highway Patrol
used the Memorial Day travel
weekend to kick off Obey the Sign
and Avoid the Fine, a summer
long, safe travel campaign.
The campaign is an initiative to
reduce highway crashes and in-
crease safety on South Dakotas
roadways, said Colonel Craig Price,
superintendent of the Highway Pa-
trol. The kick off weekend included
a high visibility saturation patrol
on Memorial Day.
Our statistics show that speed-
ing, impaired driving and other
hazardous moving violations are
major contributors in crashes, in-
juries and deaths on our high-
ways, Price said. Were kicking off
our safety campaign on Memorial
Day weekend to get the maximum
public awareness of the need for
safety on the roadways.
Speed and alcohol will be the top
two targets for the enforcement
campaign this summer, Price said.
The Highway Patrol believes that
focus will have the largest impact
on reducing fatal crashes.
Obviously, we will be enforcing
all the other traffic laws, he said.
Thats the reasoning behind the
Obey the Sign and Avoid the Fine
campaign slogan.
Highway patrol troopers will
work in teams and will partner
with other law enforcement agen-
cies when opportunities arise, Price
said. Mondays saturation patrol
had virtually all uniformed troop-
ers on the highways.
In addition to enforcement, the
summer safety campaign will use
social media for public education
and will partner with the State De-
partment of Transportation for per-
manent and portable message
boards with safe driving messages
on the interstates and other high
traffic areas in South Dakota.

The Kadoka second grade did a living wax museum. The class was busy
writing report papers, making posters, and memorizing three facts for the
big day. They worked hard at home to create a costume that best describes
their historical figure. They made history come alive for the elementary
by becoming someone that means something to them.
The Kadoka/Wanblee 21st CCLC Summer Program will be starting on
Monday, June 3 and go until Thursday, July 25. The program will run
Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Lunch will be
served to children participating in the program. There will also be a bus
going to Wanblee to pick up students from that area. It should arrive in
Wanblee around 7:45a.m.
The Kadoka/Wanblee Summer Program will be offering academic en-
richment activities throughout the summer for students going into Kinder-
garten-8th grade. Enrollment forms for summer program were sent home
with students earlier this month. If you would like your child to partici-
pate, please fill out the forms and return them to the school. If you have
any questions, please call Annette VanderMay at 837-2299 (after-school),
462-6233 (home) or 488-0188 (cell). We look forward to a fun summer.

Managing Alfalfa Weevils
A producer recently called to
ask when was the best time to
spray alfalfa weevil adults. There
are a few alfalfa producers who
seem to have discovered that
spraying the adults reduces the in-
cidence and feeding damage of the
larvae.
While there may be some truth
to it, there are some inherent prob-
lems with this practice. SDSU Ex-
tension Entomologist, Ada
Szczepaniec, reports that a num-
ber of things can happen to ad-
versely affect the adults laying
eggs, the eggs hatching, the larvae
surviving, etc. Warm and wet
springs promote the growth of
pathogens that attack the larvae
so weather conditions and soil
moisture play a role in the severity
of alfalfa weevil infestations.
There are also several predatory
insects that offer a bio control al-
ternative.
These natural controls can re-
sult in larval populations being
low enough that insecticide appli-
cations may not be economical. If
you apply insecticides with the in-
tention of controlling the adult
weevils, you will never know if the
population of larvae would have
justified insecticide treatments or
not. The larva is the damaging life
stage and the target for control, if
needed. Routine insecticide appli-
cations are detrimental to the
predatory insects that are typically
abundant in alfalfa fields. There is
also concern that consistent, rou-
tine insecticide applications may
lead to resistance of alfalfa weevils
to insecticides.
SDSU Extensions recommen-
dation is to scout for alfalfa weevils
and make management decisions
based on numbers of weevils, the
growth stage and/or height of the
alfalfa, and other factors. The gen-
eral threshold (and least precise) is
to treat if 30-40% of tips are dam-
aged by the weevils, larvae are
present, and early harvest is more
than one week away. The bucket
method is a more precise sampling
method and is the preferred tech-
nique to sample alfalfa weevils to
determine whether pesticide appli-
cations are warranted. An expla-
nation of the bucket method, along
with other good information about
alfalfa weevils can be found in the
iGrow article, Entomology Up-
date: Alfalfa Weevil Scouting
Notes at: http://igrow.org/agron-
omy/other-crops/entomology-up-
date-alfalfa-weevil-scouting-notes/
.
Early cutting can be a highly ef-
fective strategy in managing al-
falfa weevils if the weather
cooperates. Ideal conditions for
early cutting in alfalfa weevil man-
agement are good drying condi-
tions, i.e. warm temperatures, low
humidity, sunshine, and wind. The
idea is to cut the alfalfa and get it
baled and out of the field to expose
the larva to the drying conditions,
which will lead to a lot of mortality.
With early cutting, producers need
to monitor the regrowth after the
first cutting to make sure enough
larva didnt survive to keep the
second cutting from regrowing.
Regular scouting is crucial in mak-
ing sustainable management deci-
sions.

Have you ever wondered about
the forage value of certain plants
in your pasture? Considered an al-
ternative grazing system, but need
more information about what ef-
fect it will have on the land and
productivity in your area? Do you
just want to learn to identify
plants in your range? If you an-
swered yes to any of these you
should plan to attend a pasture
walk at Brett Strains on Wednes-
day, June 12, hosted by SDSU Ex-
tension, Mellette County NRCS,
Mellette/Todd County Conserva-
tion District and South Central
RC&D. The White River Annies
Project Group requested the pas-
ture walk so that they could gain a
better understanding of plant
identification and grazing systems
and better understand what is
happening on the land and how
management decisions affect the
natural resources. The pasture
walk is open to the public and
everyone is invited to participate.
The pasture walk begins at 5:30
p.m. CDT and will conclude by
7:30 CDT. Participants will gather
on location. To get there travel four
miles north of White River on Hwy
83, East of the Moran Auto Sal-
vage or 19 miles south of Murdo on
Hwy 83, East of the Moran Auto
Salvage. Light snacks and refresh-
ments will be available for the par-
ticipants.
There will be a registration fee
for the pasture walk, but SDSU
Extension programs are open to all
South Dakota residents regardless
of their ability to pay registration
fees or other program fees as iden-
tified.
For more information about the
pasture walk, contact the Mellette
County NRCS Office at 605-259-
