| Five diminutive players who aren't short on talent
Maurice Jones, 5-6, Saginaw Arthur Hill: Another sophomore who receives more attention because he plays for a state-ranked team in a high-profile conference (Saginaw Valley). Most know how good Jones is and that's good and bad. It's good because he doesn't have to prove himself every game. It's bad because there are expectations and sophomores, no matter how good they are, are inconsistent. 5. Vonn Jones, 5-10, Hartland: Wait for this Jones to have a breakout campaign next season. Hartland could make some noise this season and win a district title, but the Eagles are a young team. Jones, a transfer from Saginaw Arthur Hill, is still growing physically, and also mentally within the framework of this team. .

Bigger, better YMCA good for all
Fifty years ago, when the first Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo was held at the Central States Fairgrounds in Rapid City, nearly all of the people attending that three-day event probably lived and worked on western South Dakota ranches and farms.No doubt a much smaller percentage of the quarter of a million people expected to turn out for the 2008 Black Hills Stock Show have direct links to agriculture, but that shouldn’t stop anyone from enjoying what has become a 13-day western extravaganza at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center.South Dakota's population has shifted dramatically over the past half-century or so, from farms and ranches and the small communities that served them to the urban centers of Sioux Falls, Rapid City and a handful of other growing towns and cities. But while the demographics of agriculture have changed significantly in the intervening years, the industry's importance to South Dakota's economy has not.Agriculture contributes $2 billion annually to South Dakota's gross production, and a little of that huge economic impact will be felt in Rapid City this week -- in livestock sale rings as well as in stores and restaurants all across Rapid City.The Journal congratulates the staff and volunteers of the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo on 50 years of success and welcomes all of its exhibitors, vendors and spectators to Rapid City for the coming week.We hope you'll all become avid newspaper readers this week and we think you'll enjoy the coverage that we've planned for the event.

Many need wheelchair access and homes with space; some couples must have separate bedrooms If the rules say they only need an average home they'll be forced to cover the difference for somewhere basically suitable. So as usual; 'To him that hath it shall be given; from those that hath not it shall be taken away' .
