<b>Finally</b><br />A farmer works in a field northeast of Menno Monday, June 10. A break from the rains provided a small window for producers to get their equipment in the field recently, although more rain is expected in the coming week. Less than half of the South Dakota corn and soybean crops have been planted, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service. The forecast calls for about a 40 percent chance of precipitation for the next week and a half.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hutchinson Herald to end
publication</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
Second Century Publishing, Inc.,
which has owned the <i>Hutchinson Herald</i> since 2002, will discontinue publishing
the Menno weekly newspaper this summer and transition coverage of the community
into the <i>Freeman Courier. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
The June 27 edition will be last
for the <i>Herald</i>, which has served the Menno and Olivet community since it was
founded in 1882.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
Publisher Jeremy Waltner says
plans are to continue serving the Menno and Olivet communities on a weekly
basis through a section in the <i>Freeman Courier</i>. Support from the business
community, as well as the city of Menno and Menno School District, will
determine at what level.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
Both the city council and school
board will have to designate a new legal newspaper starting July 1. Waltner is
meeting with elected officials this week and next to invite them to name the
<i>Courier</i> as their official legal paper.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
“There are a lot of good things
happening in Menno that deserved to be covered,” Waltner said. “We have every
intent to do so, but in a different format. We are asking the larger Menno
community to support us as we make this transition.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
Waltner said the decision to
absorb the <i>Herald</i> and use the <i>Courier</i> to cover the communities of Menno and
Olivet was a difficult but necessary one. With rising costs, diminishing
advertising support and declining population and readership, it is no longer
financially feasible to publish the <i>Herald</i> as its own newspaper. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
“Times are tough for the
newspaper industry and both the Herald and the Courier are certainly not immune
to those realities,” Waltner said. “But we maintain that newspapers play a
vital role in their communities, which is why we want to make every effort to
be the paper of record for Menno and Olivet. We hope to maintain our
relationship with the city council, school board, business community and the
people and events that make life in small towns so rewarding.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
All city and rural residents who
receive the <i>Herald</i> by mail will have their subscriptions automatically
transferred to the <i>Freeman Courier</i>. Those who would rather receive a refund for
the remainder of the year may request one. Those who subscribe to both the
<i>Herald</i> and <i>Courier</i> will receive a credit or refund for the remainder of the
year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
David Bordewyk, executive
director of the South Dakota Newspaper Association, noted the difficulties
facing newspapers across the state.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
“Many small weekly newspapers in
South Dakota are facing very significant economic pressures,” Bordewyk said.
“Those pressures are related, not necessarily to the growth of the internet and
social media, but more so to the demographic and economic trends in the rural
communities and rural areas of our state. The loss of population, farms,
businesses and institutions such as schools and health-care facilities are
making it more and more difficult for many of our state's smallest newspapers
to continuing publishing.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
That now includes the Herald,
which follows a growing trend that has seen small weeklies that have either
closed or been absorbed by larger publications. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
Among those lost have been the
<i>Belle Fourche Bee </i>and <i>Meade County Times</i> of Sturgis, which were both closed by
the <i>Rapid City Journal</i> three years ago. The <i>Isabel Dakotan</i> was absorbed by the
<i>Timber Lake Topic</i> two years ago, the <i>Beadle County Echo</i> of Wessington/Wolsey
was absorbed by the <i>Miller Press</i> last year and the <i>New Underwood Post </i>was
absorbed by the <i>Wall Pennington County Courant</i> just this year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
“When we've seen the demise of a
small newspaper, the trend has been for a neighboring newspaper or a newspaper
nearby that has the same ownership to incorporate coverage of the
newspaper-less community into its own publication,” Bordewky said. “In other
words, more and more newspapers are covering, not only the community where they
are based, but nearby communities, as well. That seems to be the model for
sustainability of community journalism in South Dakota and elsewhere.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
“We have appreciated the work
that editor Erik Kaufman (who will leave that post July 1) has done for the
<i>Herald</i> and the relationships we’ve made with the people of Menno and Olivet,”
Waltner said. “We hope to continue to work with and for the people of those
communities and deliver them a community newspaper that is highly respected
across the state and beyond.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt;">
Those with questions about the
closing of the <i>Herald</i> should contact the <i>Freeman Courier</i> by calling 925-7033, emailing
courier@gwtc.net or writing to <i>Freeman Courier</i>, PO Box 950, Freeman, SD 57029.</div>

<b>Spring breakup</b><br />The spring thaw is causing road buckling in Menno, as can be seen in the photo above of East Frasch Street in Menno last week. This photo is taken looking west toward Fifth Street. Patches of road are expected to buckle as the frost continues to come out of the ground. Menno city officials said at their meeting Monday night, April 1, that repairs would be done as soon as the ground stabilizes.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />

<b>A glimpse into the teenage mind</b><br />Logan Klaudt, who plays Kyle in the Menno High School one-act play production of “I Don’t Want To Talk About It,” performs on stage Saturday afternoon, Jan. 19 at the Menno City-School Auditorium. The dramatic play deals with the topic that growing up in the world today is hard and looks at the experiences of teens as they deal with issues such as mental illness, bullying and suicide. The troupe was expected to compete at the District III One Act Play Competition in Mitchell Tuesday, Jan. 22 for a chance to advance to the state festival. Watch upcoming issues of the Herald for more images from the Menno High School production.<br />
