71-year workforce veteran believes in smile power, treating others wellHOMESPUN: A series dedicated to celebrating our community’s greatest assets, the people
Amy Blum/SuN
For area farmers, fall represents an important time to harvest what has been months in the making. It also marks a time of year when producers of both livestock and crops take time to learn from their peers. Test plot shows are one way farmers share knowledge about the crops and yields they experience in a particular area.
Last week, Producers Hybrids—based in Battle Creek, Nebraska—hosted a plot show on the northeast edge of Chamberlain in one of Barry Swanson’s fields.
While local farmers and ranchers inspected the performance of different corn varieties, they were also introduced to some of the industry’s newest technology.
Glen Stapleton, a Producers sales rep in Parker, SD, demonstrated the $2,150 drone and explained its benefits. According to Stapleton, drone technology bears limits by the FAA; however, the possibilities for both crop and livestock producers are endless.
“Right now, we’re using the drone in my business to scout fields and take aerial
photos of our customers’ operations,” Stapleton said. “But, these little drones can really help you make your operation more efficient.”
Run via an app on the operator’s smartphone, the four-propeller drone cannot be flown higher than 400-feet and has the ability to accurately gather data for up to half a mile.
As skilled hired help becomes an even greater challenge for ag producers—especially those with livestock operations—guests at the presentation quickly

Delores (Hantke) Stoll of Pukwana doesn’t believe life is meant to be all smooth; after all, how could you appreciate the good stuff if you couldn’t compare it to anything?
“You can’t have all good, and I haven’t,” Stoll reflected. “But oh what a blessed life I have! I’ve got nine grandkids, 26 great grandkids, three great-great grandkids and been married for 60 years. That’s a lot to
smile about.”Stoll and her family
have struggled through many losses. Her sister Margie was killed in a 1955 accident. Her daughter Venita died in a car accident at age 37. Her daughter Mary buried a child and two husbands. Her heart knows many kinds of loss.
But, to know Delores is to know the goodness in her life has always allowed her to carry on. She and her husband Lyal—a Korean War veteran—celebrated 60 years of marriage in June, and whether at work or on the street, you can find Delores with a smile.
“You never get over losing
someone you love, especially a child,” Stoll said. “You just learn to live with the grief. I get the biggest thrill smiling and saying good morning to people. A lot of times that opens some kind of door and people unload their troubles. They walk away relieved, and I can just let go of their troubles for them. We all feel better in the end!”
Born the fourth of 10 children in Harrold, South Dakota, Delores has proudly been in the workforce for more than 70 years.
“I started delivering papers seven days a week at age eight. I wasn’t really old enough, so my sister Margie let me put my route
in her name,” Delores said. “I bought a bicycle, school supplies and treated my sister to the theater twice a week!”
While her career has included a paper route, waitressing and work as a telephone operator, Delores is most well-known in the Chamberlain area for the 43 years she has dedicated to customers at Al’s Oasis.
Stoll began with the Mueller Family in the early days. She speaks lovingly of Al and his wife Veda and marvels at all the family’s vision encompassed over the DeloresStollofPukwanaproudlydisplaysanoilpaintingdone

Principal Karen Fox presented a five year history of AP test scores to the school board at Monday’s meeting. The scores showed a successful testing year in 2010 with a significant decline of AP test scores in the four following years.
Fox feels that students need to be better screened and prepared before enrolling in an AP class which could enable the student to earn college credits for a nominal fee. She feels that students may not be aware that an AP class is more work than a traditional high school course.
Leann Larson agreed that not all students are ready for the more demanding coursework of AP classes.
“If a student struggled with a regular English course the year before I would hope we would discourage them from taking an AP course because a bad grade would really pull down their GPA,” said Larson.
Fox feels that before a student takes and AP course they should meet a specific set of prerequisites. However, she also acknowledges that some kids will rise to the occasion of a more challenging course and shouldn’t be kept from the opportunity just because of poor academic performance in the past.
“Do we restrict access to a borderline student who could excel to the level of an AP course?” asked Casey Hutmacher.
Fox stated that is a question that would need to be addressed as the district moves forward with AP courses.
The board reviewed the school district’s membership in the Emergency School Bus Pact for the 2014-2015 school year. The district has been a part of this for several years but the board must approve continued participation every year.
Board discusses AP test scores

The emergency bus pact is an agreement between school districts in South Dakota that states if a district is busing students to an event and something happens to their bus then they can call the closest school district for help. That district will then send out their own busses to help transport the students to a safe location.
The Chamberlain District has been involved in assisting other school districts in the past and the
board approved the districts continued membership to the group.
Gary Larson performed an audit of the district from Sept 8 to Sept 12 and rewarded the district with a clean report for internal compliance and general compliance. During last years audit there were several recommendations made to the district and it was noted during this audit that the district had followed through on all recommendations.
In other business the board:
•Approved Foster Iverson and Jay Blum as district representatives to the Delegate Assembly in Pierre which will be held in November
•Reviewed improvements in the WI/FI setup in the school district
•Reviewed board policies regarding financial practices
•Set the Tribal and Parental input meeting for Oct. 27, 2014 @ 7:00 p.m.
•Reviewed the bill list

Drone, From Page 1
Amy Blum/SUNArea ag producers watch a drone demonstration sponsored by Producers Hybrids in Barry Swanson’s corn field on the northeast edge of Chamberlain. The drone costs $2,150, runs via smartphone and can travel between a quarter mile and a half mile from the controller. Under FAA rules, the drone must operate at 400 feet or less.
discussed many ways to utilize a drone. One of popular options was the ability to check cows and heifers during calving season.
“We consider
ourselves partners for our customers,” said Producers District Sales Manager Justin Blasius of Kimball, SD. “It’s exciting to introduce folks to new, interesting ways to
handle their businesses. I think a lot of the guys were impressed with and intrigued by all the possibilities with that drone.”
All Veterans of the Armed Services are eligible to join a great organization, the American Legion of the United States of America.
We, Veterans of Potter Post #3 of Chamberlain, SD invite you to join an organization that was charted by the United States Congress in 1919 as an organization of wartime veterans.
If you were in the military service and served honorably at least one day of active duty as a veteran, you can qualify for a membership in the American Legion. If you are still serving active duty in the reserves or National Guard you are eligible to join also.
Why should I join the American Legion? Your membership in the American Legion allows you to take full advantage
of your status as a wartime veteran and receive additional American Legion benefits to which you are entitled. With your membership, you also support the troops presently serving and honor the other men and women in the United States military who have given so much for our country. And as a Legionnaire you’ll have the opportunity to build friendships and camaraderie with fellow wartime veterans and continue your service to America.
What types of service activities are Legionnaires involved with, and how do they contribute to my community? The American Legion was instrumental in the creation of the Veterans Administration (VA) and having the VA elevated to a cabinet level agency and designated as the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Legion is also universally recognized as the originator of the GI Bill of Rights and it continues to work to maintain the rights and benefits earned by veterans through service to their country. Legionnaires

Throughout most of my life, books have been my entertainment, my sanctuary, my guide to foreign lands, my introduction to ideas and peoples that are different from my own, my salvation.
My earliest experiences with books were those that were read to me by my parents and grandparents. On Christmas Eve, my parents always read The Night Before Christmas. I remember being fascinated by that Santa’s belly “shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.”
When I had to get my tonsils removed, they found a book about a kid going through the same thing. The result? I didn’t dread the procedure nearly as much as I looked forward to being able to eat ice cream in the morning after my surgery. Ice cream was a very special treat in our home.
And there was a book of poetry
by Robert Louis Stevenson. “Oh, how I love to go up in a swing, up in the sky so blue…” That verse sprang to my mind just last week when swinging on one of the new playground swings at St. Joe’s.
The first book I learned to read myself was one of the old Dick and Jane readers. “See Dick run,” is one of the only lines I remember from those books.
Then we moved into town, and I discovered the Carnegie Library. Oh! It was a magical place to a young reader. I can still remember the wonderful scent of the countless old and new books just waiting to be read. That was where I discovered the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder which I chose to read simply because she had my name.
The books of Maud Hart Lovelace also grabbed my attention at that time. I have recently learned that she was
from Mankato, Minnesota and hope to make a trek to her home before too long.
And of course, there was always the Bible. During one summer spent at my grandparents’ home in Central Texas, I not only read but memorized the entire Sermon on the Mount from the King James version of the Bible. “For if the salt hath lost its savor, wherewith
shall it be salted?”As I matured, my reading
changed. In junior high school, I read Tess of the D’urbervilles, Gone with the Wind, Uncle Tom’s Cabin. In high school and college, I read the works of Kahlil Gibran and John Steinbeck, and Robert Heinlein. Does anyone else out there remember Valentine Smith? I also read Michener’s book about the tragedy at Kent State, the books of Ayn Rand, Soul on Ice by Eldridge Cleaver, Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and 1984 by George Orwell.
In recent years, I’ve visited old Ireland in Angela’s Ashes, toured Italy, India and Indonesia in Eat, Pray, Love, and pondered the meaning of suffering and existence in Anne Lamott’s Traveling Mercies, the works of Joseph Campbell, and Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for
Meaning. I tell of these books not to
impress you (I also read People magazine and Reader’s Digest), but to remind myself how different my life and my world outlook would have been had I not been able to read whenever and whatever I desired.
I hear a lot of talk these days about the second amendment but not so much about the first. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are vital to any free nation and, historically, one of the first freedoms taken from oppressed people is their right to learn to read and write.
Things can always be taken from me, but no one can take away the words and ideas that inhabit my mind because of the books I have read.
September 21-27 is Banned Books Week. Be a rebel. Read a book.
i love the written word.

AT ISSUE: Where to find more money to raise teachers’ salaries in South Dakota has been taken to a legislative committee. The proposal was to have a one-cent summer sales tax added. While it didn’t promote any open hostilities with the panel members, there wasn’t much enthusiasm shown, either. It’s up to the Legislature to either find the alternative funds or support the sales tax increase. Doing nothing would have the reflection of Washington and is unacceptable.
THERE ARE a couple of traditions connected to the recent Labor Day holiday. The first one closes the door to summer and the second one is the unofficial start of the political season for the upcoming mid-term elections and the preparation of January’s opening of the South Dakota Legislature. The President used our last Labor Day to give a speech on the need to raise the nation’s minimum wage law. Granted, there isn’t much we can do about the end of summer, and it remains to be seen if the 90th legislative session can see itself raising the state’s minimum wage and getting more money for our teachers’ salaries.
My response to the state’s money, or lack of it, is double-barreled. As I said last week, I was appalled to read the food bank report that 60 percent of the client households reported an annual income of less than $10,000. Correcting this is the responsibility of all levels of our governments as well as a duty of your community and yourself. Nor can we hold blameless the causes of our low teacher salaries and our low minimum wage in South Dakota. Food insecurity, low minimum wage and low teacher salaries are all tied together.
RAISING THE minimum wage law for South Dakota will be taken care of as a referred ballot issue come Nov. 4 by the voters of the state. Finding the funding to increase our teachers’ salaries should come from the Legislature, but what we have seen so far is a lot of hesitancy on the part of several solons. And
increasing the minimum wage will go quite a ways in reducing the food insecurity so many folks are facing.
A side note here: A penny summer sales tax increase would face an uphill battle in a Legislature resistant to taxes, even though most
lawmakers are well aware of the disparity in teacher salaries, said Jon Schaff, a political science professor at Northern State University in Aberdeen.
“I get a sense that there is a growing appreciation in Pierre, both on the legislative and on the executive side, that something has to be done on teacher pay,” Schaff said.
Still, a sales tax increase would be more likely to succeed as a ballot issue, he said.
“It would be easier to get it done by going directly to the people,” Schaff said.
LET’S LOOK AT some cold hard facts. Employees who work for profitable companies (This includes the hometown businesses) usually receive regular raises, but higher pay is not in the cards for the 3.3 million U.S. workers who are paid the minimum wage.
The federal $7.25 -an-hour pay rate has not
changed since 2009. But look at how the price of groceries has changed. To have the same buying power, that wage should have grown to $8.05 by now. That is one reason the President and some in Congress have been trying to push for legislation to raise the minimum wage during two years to $10.10 an hour, then index it to inflation. But the plan has been blocked.
That’s a shame for American workers and should be an embarrassment to those who disagree. Today’s American minimum wage stacks up poorly in comparison with other developed nations.
USING 2012 DATA, the paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development showed the U.S. minimum wage ranked 26th out of 27 countries when measured as the percentage of the average in each country. Only Mexico’s wage was worse.
Granted, there are arguments against raising the minimum wage, but do they all hold water? No, and that is because of those supporting today’s minimum wage are terribly short sighted when it comes to seeing where that increase would go....
Professor says best bet to take wage issue to people
I am an inside my head type of person. I often have complete and satisfying conversations involving just me, myself and I. My inner monologues can be captivating. (Oh yes they can.)
It’s not a case of me being the most interesting person I know. Far from it. It’s more about how I process the universe. I have to mull things over in my head like a hundred times. Talk amongst myself. Then they start to make sense. Sort of.
Some would say this makes me an introvert, and I guess they’d be correct.
Trouble is, I live with mostly extroverts. (I suspect one child inherited the introvert gene from me, but he’ll be okay.) The rest of my family likes to surround themselves with music, TVs (note plural), Netflix, Snapchat, Reddit, live feeds and video streams 24/7. For my sensory junkies all this stimulation creates entertainment, news and communication. For me it creates distraction.
And we haven’t even touched on face-to-face verbal communication. When they speak to me, they expect me to listen (rightly so, I suppose). But if I’m having an inside my head moment, I may not hear them at all. “What? Could you say that again? I was thinking about something.”
I used to believe this was pretty pathetic – the fact that I had a tendency to tune out my own kids and husband. But I did a little research on the “I” word and discovered I may be an introvert, but I’m not the only one.
Researchers estimate that between 25 to 50 percent of people are introverts. That means there are others out there – like me – ignoring their kids while they have full-fledged debates inside their own brains. It’s comforting to know I am not alone (even though I’d probably rather be). At least that’s what I tell myself.
Psychologist Carl Jung popularized the concept of introvert nearly 100 years ago. An introvert is more aware of her inner world, while an extrovert gains awareness and energy from the surrounding environment. There is scientific evidence to back Jung’s theories. Brain scans show that introverts process information differently
than extroverts. We talk to ourselves. Extroverts talk to each other.
But it’s not simply an either/or issue; most people are a combination of the two – me included. Shades of gray (matter).
Being an introvert is not what most people might think. Despite the need to be by ourselves occasionally, introverts are not antisocial. We like people. I love people, especially the extroverts who live with me. There are just instances when, “Mama needs a little alone time,” (to listen to the voices inside her head).
Extroverts thrive on high levels of external stimulation. I do not, which explains why I hardly ever touch the remote control – unless it is to turn off the TV. Extroverts love parties, crowds, small talk and working the room. This summer, my family had the opportunity to march in a couple of parades. My husband, the extrovert, waved and smiled and talked to people. Lots of people. I walked the route, feeling as comfortable as an introvert in a parade.
It’s not all bad. Introverts and extroverts compliment each other – which might explain why so many marriages are made up of one of each. Opposites attract.
And while introverts might be perceived as shy or withdrawn or standoffish, we are also known as thoughtful and introspective. We pay attention to detail, are good at reading other people and are perhaps less likely than extroverts to put our foot in our mouth. (Although I can’t personally vouch for that one, unfortunately.)
So the next time you’re streaming video, talking on the phone while chatting with three friends and you glance across the room and notice someone sitting alone, looking content, deep in thought, without a smart device in sight, realize you might be experiencing a rare sighting of the elusive introvert – a person living a quiet life in a noisy world.

Successful New York editor, Jen Gibbs, is at the top of her game with her new position at Vida House Publishing -- until a mysterious manuscript from an old slush pile appears on her desk. Turning the pages, Jen finds herself drawn into the life of Sarra, a mixed-race Melungeon girl trapped by dangerous men in the turn of the century Appalachia. A risky hunch may lead to The Story Keeper’s hidden origins and its unknown author, but when the trail
turns toward the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a place Jen thought she’d left behind forever, the price of a blockbuster next book deal may be higher than she’s willing to pay.
Water Walker, Ted Dekker
“My name is Alice Ringwald, but the man who kidnapped me says that’s a lie.”
Thirteen-year-old orphan Alice Ringwald has no memory beyond six months ago. The only life she knows is the new one she’s creating one day at a time with the loving couple that recently adopted her and gave her new hope. That hope, however, is shattered one night when she is abducted by a strange man. In a frantic FBI man hunt, the kidnapper vanished with Alice.
So begins Water Walker, a modern-day parable that examines the staggering power of forgiveness, and reminds us that it’s possible to live free of the hurt that keeps our souls in chains.
Dementia is at once a huge diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for any physician, and a terribly devastating and dreaded condition for any patient and family.
Something like 6.8 million people in the US have dementia and almost one-half of all people greater than 85 years old have the diagnosis. Take hope, however, since that means almost one-half of those greater than 85 are NOT demented.
This is not a simple topic. Dementia is not a specific disease but rather a term for a number of symptoms that can be caused by a number of brain disorders. The National Institute of Neurologic Disorders and Stroke defines people with dementia as having “impaired intellectual
functioning that interferes with normal activities and relationships.”
The cardinal sign for dementia is the loss of antegrade memory, or rather losing the ability to learn a new thing, and to hang on to it. A simple test for antegrade memory is to ask the patient to remember three objects, and then ask later to recall those three things. Sometimes people with significant dementia can remember much of their past, but cannot learn a new thing.
Memory testing is not all of what defines dementia, however, since intellect involves other faculties such as language, perception, reasoning, judgment, and behavior. Learning, or antegrade memory, pulls these other brain activities together, however, and therefore is the crucial element for brain function.
More than 60 percent of all dementias are caused by Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and are characterized by a gradual antegrade
memory loss, preservation of gait, subtle personality change, and a steady general deterioration over time. About 20 percent of dementias are called vascular dementia and are caused by small or large strokes. These generally happen quite abruptly, affect gait, preserve personality, and may or may not progress over time.
Some other causes of dementia include Lewy body dementia, which acts like or is associated with Parkinson’s disease; Frontotemporal dementia, which can cause huge personality changes; and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which follows repeated severe head trauma in boxers, football players, and soldiers. The differential diagnosis also includes memory loss from thyroid and B12 deficiency, brain tumors, and depression.
It is my sincere hope that you the reader, and including me too, can continue for a
In our article this week, I would like to tell you about how the bands in the River City Band Festival are judged and who does the judging. The band festival committee hires a professional judging team from out of town to come it and judge the bands. This year, the head judge is from Alexandria, MN and her name is Rhonda Blaser.
Then we also have two other judges and they are a judging couple. They are Bob and Mary Goheen and they are from Brandon, SD. Each year, we have a panel of three judges that come in and rate the bands for us. The street marching competition is judged separately from the field competition. That aspect allows for bands to participate in the street competition and not in the field competition if that is what they choose to do.
The bands are judged on three specific areas. Each of the judges takes an area that they judge every band on certain criteria that they
want to see and how well that area is performed. The three areas are: Marching, General Effects and Music.
The first of these areas is the Marching. The judge will be looking for Accuracy and Definition, which includes the bands alignment as they are lined up and marching. The judge will also be looking for the accuracy of their steps and spacing and whether or not they stay in step. The judge will also be looking for Demand and Exposure, which includes the visual content and effectiveness of the performance. The third criteria the judge will be looking for is discipline, which includes the uniformity in the position of instruments and equipment.
The second of these areas is the General Effects. This area is composed of the overall set - up of the band and the colorguard they have. The judge will be looking for showmanship, special effects that will grab the audience attention and the precision, alignment, timing, special effects and relationship that the colorguard has with the music.
The third of these areas is the Music. The judge will be looking for the musical content, which includes the difficulty of the music, the range of the instruments, the changes in tempo, the dynamic contrast and demands placed on individuals in the bands. They will also be judging the brass and woodwind section of the band on their tone and articulation and finally the percussion section of the band on their tone and tuning, uniformity, precision, balance and rhythm accuracy.
As you can see, the judging of a band is no easy
task. The judges mark score sheets for each band and also record an audio tape telling the band what they see that is good and bad and what they recommend for improvement. These score sheets are then turned over to the tabulators who enter all the information into the computer that calculates a final overall score for each band and determines who is the winner. The judges do not talk to each other during the judging. The sheets are turned over and once the tabulators have entered the information into the computer, the sheets and audio tapes are put into envelopes and sent home with each band to be reviewed by their band and band teacher.
So, don’t forget to come out and watch the parade and field competition on Saturday, October 11th, 2014. It should be very entertaining and a lot of fun. See You There!!

The family relocated to Brule County, SD in 1939 where Joe attended school and graduated from White Lake High School in 1942. He then went on to purchase a farm in Brule County, SD where he lived and farmed all of his life. This began his lifelong love for farming.
On January 24, 1953 Joe was united in marriage to Phyllis Glissendorf at St. Margaret’s Catholic Church in Kimball. He was a member of St. Margaret’s
Catholic Church as well as being a 4th Degree member of the Knights of Columbus.

Joe was preceded in death by: his wife, Phyllis Mairose (Nov. 15, 2010); a daughter-in-law, Connie Mairose; his parents, Isidore and Maella Mairose; an infant brother, Tom; and two sisters: Eileen Mairose and Kathleen Smith.
John NielsenJohn Nielsen, 94, of
Chamberlain passed away on September 15, 2014 at the Aurora Brule Nursing Home in White Lake, SD. No services will be held. Burial of his ashes will be in the Kimball Cemetery at a later date.
John Nielsen was born a twin to Johanna on July 22, 1920 in Denmark to Niesl and Marie (Jensen) Nielsen. Around the age of four, the family immigrated
to the United States and settled in the Kimball area. He attended school in the Kimball area. He worked with his father on the farm before entering the U.S. Navy on March 26, 1945. Serving during WWII, John was discharged on April 3, 1946 and returned home. On February 12, 1952, John was united in marriage to Betty Blackwell at Alexandria, SD. Together they farmed north of Alexandria until 1960

Tammy Firsdon of Departemental d’ Ohio was elected the 2014– 2015 Le Chapeau National of the organization at the conclusion of the 93rd La Marche. Her theme, “8 and 40 Magical Powers”, will be used throughout the year promoting national programs for children and
communities.During 2013– 2014 Le

Since 1957 the Eight and Forty has awarded more than $2.5 million in educational assistance to nurses who further their education in pediatric respiratory care.
The local salons also pursued projects that raised $42,000 to aid over 10,000 of our special children with respiratory diseases. Partners are community minded and donated $42,000 for the research of cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, asthma, and other respiratory
diseases in children. Total contributions of time and money donated were $323,714.27.
The Eight and Forty has been given the task of assisting in the prevention and control of all respiratory diseases in children, providing scholarships for nurses continuing their education in this field, supporting National Jewish Health’s pediatric needs and the Morgridge Academy for Chronically Ill Children. Local Salons are encouraged to adopt children with respiratory illnesses, assist with asthma camps and local hospitals and clinics that treat these children.
The organization sponsors volunteer programs on the nationale, departemental, and local levels, focusing on children and the community.

PIERRE, S.D. – Increased colorectal cancer screening is the goal of $60,000 in grant funds awarded to four health systems in the state.
“Colorectal cancer is the second most deadly cancer in South Dakota,” said Karen Cudmore, cancer program director for the state Department of Health; “We know that colorectal cancer screening tests can save lives but the reality is too many adults aren’t following the recommendation for regular screening beginning at age 50.”
Grantees can use the funding to support a variety of evidence-based
interventions from reminder-recall systems to offering home test kits when patients come in for annual flu shots. The following grantees will each receive $15,000 to implement interventions throughout their systems:•Community Health Center of the Black Hills (2 sites);•Coteau des Prairies Health Care System (3 sites);•Horizon Health Care, Inc. (13 sites); and •Sanford Health (numerous Sanford clinics in SD).
The Department of Health awarded the grants using federal funding from its Comprehensive Cancer Control Program and its
GetScreenedSD colorectal cancer screening program.
According to a CDC Vital Signs Report, in 2012 just 62.3 percent of South Dakota adults aged 50-75 were up to date with colorectal cancer screening. The state is part of a national effort working toward the goal of increasing colorectal cancer screening rates to 80 percent by 2018.
Men and women age 50 and older who meet income guidelines are eligible for colorectal cancer screening through GetScreenedSD. Eligibility and enrollment information is available at GetScreened.SD.gov.
State awards $60,000 in grants to increase colorectal cancer screening

Joke – As I was tucking my boys in for the night, we talked about what they were covering in school. My middle boy was learning the States and the Capitals, so I quizzed him a little and he got them all right. As I was leaving the room, from the dark I heard, “Mom?”. “You were lucky when you were little.” “Why is that?” I asked. “Because your only had to memorize the 13 colonies!”

Harry Haanen CoaCHes report
The Chamberlain Middle School football team traveled to Winner to take on the Warriors on TuesdaySeptember 16. This was excellent game between two good football teams. Each team had one good scoring opportunity in the first half, but good defensive stops and costly penalties keep both teams out of end zone. The first half was costly to the Cubs as injuries sidelined key players Cole Hickey and Ken Flute for the second half.
Winner finally broke the 0-0 tie with a run around the left side to take a 6-0 lead late in the third quarter. The Cubs defense
held the Warriors out of the end zone on the two point conversion attempt.
The Warriors added a touchdown in the fourth quarter for a hard fought 12-0 win over the visiting Cubs.
In the second game of the day, Chamberlain and Winner battled to a 6-6 tie. Max Hawk scored the lone touchdown for Chamberlain on a 26 yard bootleg around the left side.
We continue to see improvement from everyone. We had a good effort at Winner, but just came up short on the scoreboard.
The team will compete in the Pierre Jamboree on Saturday, September 27.
So for the last two weeks there has been an ad in the paper about asking for a sports reporter. Well after being asked to fill the position by Lucy two weeks ago I gladly accepted to help out.
My name is Christopher Payer (sounds like fire, and related to the ones down in Lake Andes. Don’t shun me just yet) and I arrived to Chamberlain in August with my family. Some of you have seen me bartending at Cedar Shore since June. I just graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in May with a degree in Meteorology and a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force. I am currently waiting on my pilot training seat in March where I will head to Vance AFB in Oklahoma.
Now since I’ve had so many varying fields, I do have some qualifications for sports writing. I was a year round athlete during high school, while participating in football, basketball, wrestling and track & field. After leaving high school I took up playing flag football
and basketball for the Air Force ROTC in which we beat the Army and Navy five years in a row. I also held the Public Affairs Officer position for the ROTC group for a year in which I wrote articles and took pictures about events and happenings for the 465th Cadet Wing.
I would like to thank everyone for making me and my family welcome in the community and looking forward to meeting many more of you. If you would like to submit questions or we might even do some polls later on in the year you can reach me at either the sports @chamberlainsun.com or [email protected].

On September 16 the volleyball team took on Todd County. The team was led by Grace Yeaton with 8 aces, Willow Kott with 7 kills, Hallie Hallock with 24 digs, and Madison Harmon with 4 blocks. The team rolled in 3 straight sets by scores of 25-21, 25-16, and 25-15.
The Lady Cubs then played host to Wessington Springs Spartans on September 18 at the Armory. The JV started out hot with a 25-19 win in the first set but were unable to adjust in the second without the help of the Varsity players and dropped that one by a score of 25-16. Cassidy Brouse brought in 2 aces in the third set but they were unable to fend off the Spartans falling 12-15 in the final set.
On the Varsity side, errors plagued both teams in the first set. 2 straight aces by Willow Kott allowed the Lady Cubs to take the
lead and eventually the set 25-21. Long rallies allowed Chamberlain to stay in the second set. Shyanne Kopfmann for Wessington Springs dominated in power hitting but was stuffed on a tip to allow the game to be tied up at 13. However costly errors allowed the Spartans the lead and eventually the set 28-26.
After a slow start the Lady Cubs rallied back from down 0-4 to tie back up at four all. Hallie Hallock had a huge set while grabbing some big digs to help Chamberlain maintain a rhythm. They would trail as much as 6 points to come back and win in dramatic fashion 26-24.
In the final two sets, though, it was not to be. After a strong start in the 4th with a 5-1 lead the Spartans came back to win 25-20. Willow Kott would once again start off a long train of points serving putting the Cubs up 6-2 but would drop the set 11-15.

The Cubs hosted 27 teams on September 18 at the Chamberlain Country Club. It was a bright sunny day, but a head wind at both the start and end of the race was only another advisory as both boys and girls ran hard against a number of talented athletes.
The girls were led by Anna Byers who finished 9th with a time of 16:30, next was Ella Byers with a time of 16:54, Alayna Steckelberg with a time of 19:00, Jessie Ristau
with a time of 20:12, and Madelynn Schindler 22:42.
The boys finished strong against a stacked field with Jacob Lopez leading the Cubs with a time of 18:31, followed by Morgan Hauke 18:55, Zachary Hough 21:40, and Ashton Burke 22:40.
Coach Gary Winters was very pleased with the way his athletes competed today, even with the both girls and boys teams suffering from injuries and illness. This was the hardest meet that they had to compete in prior to the State meet.

The Junior High volleyball team started out their season traveling to Winner. They ended up dropping both sets 25-16 and 25-19. Coach Brenda Stewart was really impressed for it being their game and with only having 8 girls playing it only allowed for two
substitutions. On September 13 they
hosted the Chamberlain Invite. They beat Gregory in the first game 2-1, but would end up dropping games to South Central, Parkston and Platte. Hannah Anderson and Sam Schwartz were consistent through the games providing good serves.

The volleyball team took their talents on the road to face off in the conference tournament on September 20th. They would drop the first game to Mobridge-Pollock 0-3 behind big performances from Brigitte
Byrd and Grace Yeaton. The Lady Cubs would
also fall in their second game against South Central 0-2 with Madison Harmon leading the way with 2 blocks and 6 kills.
Next game for Chamberlain is home to Lyman on September 25 at 6:30 pm.

The game on September 12 was a lot closer than the stats showed. Chamberlain would out produce the Braves in yards 332-106. However fumbles would negate a couple of good drives for the Cubs.
In the first quarter Cheyenne-Eagle Butte would take advantage of a Chamberlain fumble to go up 8-0. However, the Cubs came rolling back in the second quarter with scores by Shawn Foote and a pass from Parker Evans
to Jeremy Herron to place them up 12-8.
Both defenses would tighten up and leave each other with goose eggs for the second half giving Chamberlain the win.
“Our defense won the game for us.” said Coach Rhodes after the game, “Parker Evans played a good game, throwing 11 for 15, for 100 yards and one touchdown.”
The Cubs had a bye week to rest up for the Homecoming game against Redfield-Doland at 7 pm on September 26.

Name: Jerry ToeringSubject: HS MathHighlights: “Many people go to college and choose a career. Few are lucky enough to have a career choose them. Jerry Toering had plans to become a computer guru and work in a technology field but a career as a teacher was what was meant to be.
Toering started teaching in 1967 at Artesian High School. He
remained there for 5 years before heading out to pursue a position in the business world. But a decade later would find Toering back in the classroom and he never looked back after that.
In 1985 Toering joined the faculty at Chamberlain High School to teach math. Currently Toering teaches Pre-Calculus, Calculus and Algebra2.
While classroom instruction is an obvious part of the position Toering says he enjoys the day to day interaction with students.
“I really enjoy working with them and watching them grow into young adults,” said Toering.
After so many years in the classroom it is hard for Toering to narrow down a single favorite memory from his teaching career. However, he says the students he has taught are mingled throughout his memories. But while the memories are good Toering is still looking to make the most of everyday he is in the classroom.
“I love to look back and remember all the great students that I have taught over the years, but I would like to think that my favorite memory is today and every day after,” says Toering.
During his free time Toering spends time with family,

years.“Al built his business
on family and appreciation for his employees,” Delores said. “He and Veda expected us to take care of people and to remember we were often dealing with travel weary guests. Al always said, ‘Treat people well and don’t sell what you wouldn’t want to buy.’ The family
has always been so good to me; they were easy to work for because I knew they appreciated me.”
With over four decades at Al’s Oasis behind her and many changes still in front of her, Stoll has no plans for retirement. She enjoys greeting customers at the checkout and feels a real connection with people
when she can share a smile and a genuine “how are you today?”.
“Lyal retired in 1996 and has always told me to only work as long as I want to,” Delores said. “I enjoy getting out to see people. I’d like to stay as long as it’s fun.”
As a Pukwana resident since 1963, Stoll has seen many changes to the area.
Though change often came with fear of the unknown, she believes new additions to the community throughout the years are what makes it special.
“I remember how worried everyone was about what opening the interstate would mean for business. Dear Veda (Mueller) even joked we might have to beg for
business by showing a little leg,” Delores recalled with a smile. “But, popping over the hill and dropping down the interstate—now that view is the opening gate to heaven and business sure grew!”
As a proud community member, Delores hopes she has helped make other people’s lives just a little bit easier, especially because
the people she’s encountered have made hers so much richer.
“I hope people remember that I believe in treating people like you want to be treated,” she said. “To touch another person’s life is really a gift. We’ve got such a great community with so many wonderful things happening all the time!”

Denny Pierson, former mathematics teacher at Stickney high school in 1967 through 1969 has announced his candidacy for the office of State Treasurer. Pierson, a former legislator from Mitchell and a former State Senator from District 13 in Minnehaha County, was in Stickney, White Lake, Plankinton, and Chamberlain on September 19 meeting with voters and answering questions about his candidacy.
“I am concerned, as many South Dakotans are concerned, about how so many questions have gone unanswered about how money has been handled through the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as EB 5, and how money allegedly was moved from the State Treasury into the hands of Mr. Benda and Joop Bolen. If EB-5 money was initially deposited into the
State Treasury, as it should have, then how did it get into the hands of those two individuals?” Pierson asked.
Another issue that has caught Pierson’s attention is the State’s unclaimed property. “Out treasury has accumulated approximately a million dollars of unclaimed, that property and cash will ultimately become the State’s property. I do not believe that we currently do enough to make people aware how to claim their property. I would do more to advertise whose money we have and how to file a claim for its return and make filing a claim as painless as possible,” Pierson said.
Pierson graduated from Mitchell High School, attended Dakota Wesleyan University before earning his degree in mathematics from University of South Dakota. He earned a Master’s degree in mathematics from Bowling
Green State University in Bowling Green, OH, and was a mathematics teacher for 11 years. He joined his father, O.L. “Swede” Pierson, in the insurance business in 1972 in Mitchell. He later moved to Sioux Falls and continued to sell insurance there. His wife, Linda, is a pharmacist. They have two grown children and three grandchildren. His campaign will continue across the State until Election Day, November 4.

When I think of upland bird hunting, memories of family, good friends and especially hunting dogs come to mind. My Dad’s love of the sport and appreciation of a good dog was passed on to me way back when I was 12 years old and just learning to hunt. Many fall seasons have passed since then and very few of them was I without the companionship of a dog. A hunter’s dog is a buddy that is always ready to go and is also an efficient tool in the harvest of grouse and pheasants. Our responsibility as owners is to ensure that our dogs’ health and well being is maintained throughout its lifetime. Here are a few things to consider while hunting with your “best friend” this fall. These are only first aid suggestions and are not to be a substitute for professional veterinary treatment.
When taking your dog out the first hunt, be sure you take things slowly especially if you haven’t had a chance to get him into hunting condition prior to the season. Inactive dogs are going to be at a higher risk of injuries and heat related distress. While hunting always carry plenty of water for yourself as well as your dog. Frequent water breaks are important, especially on hot dry days. A dog that becomes overheated needs to get cooled down as quickly as possible. Get him to the nearest stock dam or water tank you can, a quick soak should help reduce the body temp. The next step would be to consult your vet for prompt treatment.
Injuries are not uncommon while your
dog is working in the field. Cuts are probably the most important to give quick first aid. A small kit can be assembled containing the following: gauze, tape, cotton swabs, vetwrap, nolvasan scrub, triple antibiotic ointment, DMSO, super glue, and a small T-shirt. Small non bleeding clean wounds can be super glued shortly after they occur. Old or dirty wounds should be left open to drain and heal. After 8 to 48 hours wounds will have too much swelling present to allow sutures to “hold”. Antibiotics should be administered right away to control infections.
Wounds that need to be sutured should be cleaned with nolvasan scrub and covered. Don’t apply anything else which might need to be removed before surgery. You can apply additional nolvasan under gauze and vetwrap to help further clean the area. When using vetwrap to apply pressure on a bleeding wound, do not make the bandage very tight. It is important to maintain blood flow below the wrap. After you have administered your first aid to any injury of the chest or body, put the T-shirt on your dog it will protect the injury by keeping out dirt and debris. Ask your vet about questionable wounds as soon as possible.

Date: Sept 15thTo: City of Chamberlain Commercial Property OwnersFrom: Michael Hauke, Brule County Director of EqualizationRe: City of Chamberlain Commercial Reappraisal Project
Preliminary work for the reappraisal program, which includes door to door inspections of all commercial properties in the City of Chamberlain, will begin September 29, 2014. Representatives of Vanguard Appraisals, Inc. will be reappraising all commercial real estate for property tax assessment purposes. Each Vanguard representative will have a photo ID, identifying them as such.
The purpose of the reappraisal is to equalize property assessments. Each taxpayer is responsible for paying only his/her fair share of the property tax burden. The Brule County Director of Equalization Office does not have the resources to complete the project in a timely manner. Vanguard Appraisals, Inc was contracted because they have considerable appraisal experience, and have conducted numerous successful reappraisal projects in the Upper Midwest.
Data collectors will make interior and exterior inspections of all commercial properties. They will be compiling information to be used to estimate fair market value of each property. Information to be collected includes: type of construction, type of interior finish, physical condition of the property, age of structures and exterior measurements. A complete sales analysis, local construction costs and economic conditions are also considered. No estimate of value will be given at the time of inspection.
We ask that you cooperate by allowing a complete inspection of your property and provide accurate information in order to determine a fair and equitable assessment for your property. Denial of access to the property, or providing inaccurate information does not release Vanguard representatives from placing a value on your property. Incomplete or inaccurate information may result in an assessment that may not be a fair reflection of the property’s actual value. For this reason, our office requests your assistance to ensure that the reappraisal project is completed successfully.
Notice of final value estimates will be mailed to each property owner after the completion of the project, tentatively around January 1st. Property owners will have an opportunity to meet informally to discuss their revaluation with representatives of Vanguard Appraisals, Inc.
The Chamberlain Police Department, Brule County Sheriff’s Office & Brule County Director of Equalization Office will have a listing of all names and license plate numbers of appraisers involved in the project.
If you have any questions regarding the reappraisal project, please contact me via email at [email protected] or phone at 605-234-4432

A BIG thank you goes out to the sponsors of the 2nd annual FALLFEST Beef COOK-OFF including Eagle Sales, Chamberlain Food Center, Chamberlain /Oacoma Chamber; the Cattlewomen, and others who helped cut meat and serve the meal. Special thanks to the beef cook-off participants and those who attended and helped make it a HUGE success. Members of ECO Promotions
2014 FALLFEST COOK-OFF Since taking our oldest child to college, my husband and I have been experiencing the beginning stages of empty nest syndrome (besides panic). I keep trying to buy milk in bulk, set the table and make meals for four, and am having to get used to taking hot showers again instead of lukewarm-turned-cold ones after everybody else has showered.
Thankfully, the Hubs and I are not entirely empty nesters yet. We’re only in phase one, meaning for the next four years while our daughter attends high school, we’ll have to face reality and the impending life change by finding new activities to occupy our time.
I knew full well we’d have to eventually face an empty nest but I purposely dashed such thoughts. When our son was still in high school I kept telling myself we had plenty of time to brace ourselves for our lifestyle change and plan ahead for a bigger ranch work load and a smaller work crew. I pondered what my husband and I might do to replace our kids’ activities as well as their able-bodied and much appreciated help, but I darn sure never imagined we’d get ourselves a replacement child.
It was in-between our daughter’s recent volleyball tournament games that my husband spotted an ad for Blue Heeler pups in the Rapid City Journal classifieds section. After making a call, an arrangement was made for us to look at the pups after the tournament.
I don’t know if empty nest syndrome takes a hold of all men the same, but it’s sure made my husband act weird. First off, he is not the impulse buying type. Secondly, he’s never bought a dog before. Thirdly, he grumbles enough as it is about the cost of dog food for our one dog Pepper that when he said we might get two puppies I was overcome with shock. He was not acting like himself and he had me very worried when he mentioned getting two pups if the owner’s aforementioned discount
for more than one was favorable. Fortunately, he overcame that senselessness.
Our new replacement child, Ace—so named for getting the pup after our daughter’s volleyball game in which she made several ace serves—is our empty nest project for filling the eventual void of children in our lives.
I’m beginning to see now why so many empty nesters are always seen with a couple of dogs after their biological children leave home. The neediness of such animals especially fulfills a mother’s instincts to nurture, oversee, and care for something, and pets fill that role as well as keep childless parents entertained the way children once did or at least gives parents something to deal with. So far Ace is on car-riding probation. He will not be riding in my car anytime soon until he outgrows his carsickness and puking. He got carsick and puked in my car on the way home as well as on pickup rides with the Hubs and Pepper to check cows.
Having a pup is like reliving parenting all over again. We got our “replacement child” for the same reason we had children: to be useful to us and help out with all our ranch work. The only difference in parenting the second time around is that this time my husband gets to clean up the puke messes.
