Challenging the status quo: Elizabeth Sudmeier’s historic legacyThe Central Intelligence Agency
has recently published a story about Elizabeth Sudmeier, the Timber Lake girl who became an operations officer during the 1950s, on its public web site. The story, reprinted here, includes some information not previously released. Elizabeth was featured in a story in the May 29, 2014 issue of the Topic and the June, 2014 issue of the Timber Lake & Area Historical Society Newsletter. The photos are courtesy of her niece, who says there is still more to tell as much information about her work remains classified.

A column by Gov. Dennis Daugaard:
This week I had the opportunity to attend the dedication of the Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center in Lead. The visitor center will be something for South Dakotans and travelers from all over the world to see. Here people will learn about the history of Homestake and the Sanford Lab projects.
The Sanford Underground Research Facility is in the process of partnering with the Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, to prepare for the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility and the associated Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (LBNF/DUNE). This future experi-ment is a result of groundbreaking research that occurred in the lab while it was still the Homestake Mine.
This research, conducted by Ray Davis from the mid-1960s through the 1990s, sought small, neutral particles called neutrinos which generally pass right through the earth undetected and unimpeded. Because of their lack of interaction, their existence was only theoretical. Davis, through an unprec-edented combination of chemistry and physics, developed a way to use the low background radiation environment in the mine to prove the existence of neutrinos.
Initially, other scientists wrote off Davis’ project as a failure because he was detecting just one-third of the neutrinos he had expected to find. Eventually he was proven right when other scientists at SnoLab in Canada discovered that neutrinos spontaneously change, or os-cillate as they travel, changing between three types. Davis’ research changed physics forever, and in 2002 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his neutrino experiment.
Now a new generation of physicists is building on Davis’ research to make their own discoveries deep underground at Sanford Lab. Scientists will use a high-intensity neutrino beam to send neutrinos from Batavia, Illinois, to Lead, South Dakota. Continuing the work Ray Davis started years ago, this experiment will attempt to explain properties of neutrinos, why they change and the nature of their chang-ing states. While for most of us particle physics has many blind spots, the light this experiment can shed on at least one of them could be key to understanding the universe.
Sometimes in South Dakota, be-cause we are small in population, and because we are largely rural, we have a bit of an inferiority complex. We some-times fall into thinking that we can’t be the best or lead the way. But that’s not true. And the things happening at the Sanford Underground Research Facility prove that we are a state that explores uncharted territory.
Since 1967, a panel of prominent scientists and academics, the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel, has advised the federal government about experimental and theoretical high en-ergy physics. Recently this panel identi-fied three physics projects around the world as high priority: one in Japan, one in Switzerland and the Long Baseline Neutrino experiment right here in Lead, South Dakota. In its P5 report, the panel called that experiment the physics project in America. It’s not hard to imagine that through this project another physicist working here in Lead could win a Nobel Prize.
Sanford Lab Visitor Center
By Jill PertlerIn my heart, I am a farmer – at least
during the summer months when I’m outside tending my garden.
I love growing things. I enjoy the feel of moist black dirt between my fingers. I get a sense of satisfaction when my seedlings sprout. I even take pleasure in the achy, sweaty feeling I get after a day spent outside moving dirt and pulling weeds – doing good work. Real, honest work in the garden with Mother Nature as my boss and my husband as my supervisor. (Not really, but I let him think so.)
But even though I truly dig gar-dening, I am not a farmer. Nor is my husband a farmer. I’m a writer who is sometimes a farmer at heart. Transoccupational would be the trendy term for it.
My husband and I are a pretty good team in the garden. I pull weeds. He hauls dirt. We express satisfaction with the height of the tomato plants and anticipate the first pea pods and squash blossoms. We marvel at the ever-vigorous growth of the indestructible, immortal mint.
Over the years we’ve learned growing things involves a never-ending learning curve. (There’s a parenting analogy in there for anyone who wants to harvest it.)
We’ve also learned that gardening success comes not only from what you plant, but where. Plants are social
beings and garden relationships are key to a robust crop. You don’t have to be a farmer to reap the benefits of companion planting. Strong smelling herbs like basil, dill and green onions protect tomatoes from insects and slugs. Beets like bush beans (but not pole beans). Corn likes cucumber. Nasturtium is an edible flower that deters bugs and aphids. Ditto that for marigolds. You can also eat pansies. They look pretty in a salad.
Some plants experience irrecon-cilable differences and do not make good neighbors. Cabbage and cauli-flower prefer to stay away from one another. Beans don’t like garlic or onions. Lettuce and celery may both be green and crispy, but they don’t like growing in proximity to each other. Garden plants possess more (or less) social skills than I ever would have imagined.
Another interesting aspect of gar-dening is sex – most specifically (and literally) the birds and the bees. What I’m referring to is pollination, which in plant circles means S-E-X. Both birds and bees can pollinate, but bees are better known for this skill.
Garden plants produce flowers. Some plants develop male and female flowers, others are hermaphrodites; their flowers are twofers – male and female at the same time. For plants to produce fruit (most things in the gar-den, even tomatoes and cucumbers,
are technically fruit) pollen from the male part of the plant must make its way to the female ovaries. Here’s where the birds and bees come in.
I don’t want to get all R-rated, but as bees collect nectar from flowers, pollen clings to their tiny bee feet. As they flit about the garden, the pollen is distributed to a female flower (or portion thereof ) and the deed is done – pollination! Flower sex at its finest and it’s all made possible by busy bees (or in some cases butterflies, bats or even the wind). They flutter from bloom to bloom in search of nectar seemingly oblivious to the flora life cycle they are helping to perpetuate.
Summer’s in full bloom in my yard and my husband and I are busy bees ourselves with weeding and watering and – hopefully soon – harvesting.
We aren’t farmers, but you don’t have to be an official farmer to enjoy growing things. We started with kids and moved up to tomatoes and beans – if you consider that an advance-ment, which it probably isn’t. I guess that’s okay with us. It is summer. We are outside. And we are having fun pretending to be farmers together.
Feels pretty good to me.

July 28, 1955Work on the streets ofTimber
Lake began last week. The Rounds Construction Company of Rapid City moved in July 16, and spent the weekend getting established. They began tearing up the streets Wednesdayoflastweek.
A large culvert was put in at the wye so the low spot on the west side of the road could drain into the lake. The road was widened and filled in to bring it to the level with the railroad
crossing. Surplus dirt and gravel taken from the streets was used to fill the grade at the wye.
The construction company has rented the county caterpillar, LeTourneau and road patrol to aug-ment their own equipment. They have a grader inoperation, also. Inaddition, they have two tank trucks hauling water for wetting down the streets. The water is being taken from the lake north of town.
State highway engineers have been working daily with the construction crew, helping them establish the cor-rect grade. Gravel will be hauled in when the grade is completed. A six-inch bed of gravel will be laid before blacktopping begins. The street work is a culmination of five years of plan-ning and preparation. Main Street will be blacktopped from the junction withHighway8totheintersectionattheWestRiverImplement,underthefederalsecondaryroadprogram.Inaddition, the city is having portions
of three side streets off Main also blacktopped. The city council also plans to have the Rounds company surface gravel some of the other streets in town.

Several Timber Lake School staff, students, parents and community have recently come together and formed a workgroup called the Healthy Student Choices Committee. The overall goal of the group was to be able to provide a safe, healthy, positive environment for all students and empower them to make well-informed, healthy lifestyle choices. As a Blue Ribbon School, we are constantly looking at ways to improve and continue to make our school a safe environment with high academic and social expectations.
This group has looked at data identifying drug, alcohol and tobacco issues within our student population as well as the current practices that are used to address these and their effec-tiveness. Research has been done on a variety of methods to deter alcohol, tobacco and drug use.
An action plan has been developed thatincludesdrug/alcoholeducationforstudents,drug/alcoholeducationforstaff,increasedK-9sniffsthrough-out the school year (we currently conduct three per year), as well as the possibility of drug testing students
in grades 6-12 who participate in extracurricular activities, including athletics and fine arts.
There are many reasons that the group felt that drug testing may have positive results for our kids. Earlyidentification would allow students to have access to early interventions and help to deal with a problem. Drug testing could deter drug use amongst students and give them a reason to not use as well as encourag-ing self-respect and being positive role models for younger students and our community.
Research has proven that drug use is detrimental to youth brain development. The goal of the testing would not be to “catch” students, but rather encourage and support them to make healthy, positive choices. There are also cons to drug testing. Costs for testing students would be approximately$2000fortheschoolyear. Other cons could be possible legal issues, a negative reaction from students and parents, and the use of more dangerous drugs.
The testing the committee dis-cussed was for drugs only as they are more difficult to detect.
Before any other action is taken
in the matter of drug testing, stu-dent, parent and community input is needed. A survey has been created and can be accessed on the Timber Lake School website at www.tim-berlakeschool.org. Please click onthe link that says Healthy Student Choices Survey. There are also paper copies available at the main office at the school. Please takesome time and give your opinion and input on this important matter. The survey will close on Tuesday, July 21 at noon. If you have questionsor concerns that you would like to discuss, please contact Julie Marshall or Jennifer Schoelerman, Athletic/Activity Directors.
The safety and well-being of all students at Timber Lake School are our priority as we consider measures to ensure our school remains a place where every student is challenged to be their best.

excavation of archaeological resources. He pled guilty to the indictment and was sentenced on June 25, 2015, by U.S. Magistrate Judge William D. Gerdes to one year probation, a fine in the amount of $1,000, and a special assessment of $25 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Overbey was also ordered to turn over the illegally taken artifacts. The conviction stems from an incident that took place during the week of September 15, 2014, when a U.S. Fish and Wildlife agent was notified by the Walworth County Sheriff ’s office that the Sheriff had seized a collection of Native American artifacts from Overbey. The agent had contact with two U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Archaeologists in October of 2014, who recognized that the collection contained numerous artifacts that appeared to be consistent with those known to come from public land along the Missouri River. The agent also identified two eagle bone whistles in the collection. Overbey admitted that he had personally collected the artifacts from the Revheim Recreation Area, southeast of Mobridge, and the Point of View area north of Mobridge. He also admitted that he knowingly went to those areas looking for artifacts and removed any artifacts he found. The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges.
Sebastian Rosas, 43, of Kansas was charged with simple assault. He pled guilty to the indictment and was sentenced on June 25, 2015, by U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno to 8 days in custody, and a $10 assess-ment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. The conviction stems from an incident that took place on June 17, 2015, in Eagle Butte, when Rosas at-tempted to keep the victim from walking away from him by grabbing at her, scratching her neck, and pulling her hair. The investigation was conducted by CRST Law Enforcement Services. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller.

The final study put numbers be-hind what was visible every day: that the discrepancy between males and females at the Agency was vast. For ex-ample, the median grade for women at CIA was four grades below that of men. Only 19% of the women in the Agency were in grades higher than GS-7 while 69% of the men were. (The scale has inflated since then; a common grade for a new clandestine service employee in the early 1950s was a GS-5, and a case officer could expect to be a GS-7 after a couple of years.) The panel’s report concluded with several recommendations, such as a DCI statement to the workforce that the contributions of women should be maximized, that the Agency should encourage women to pursue careers in fields such as operations and analysis, and that Agency man-agement should consider women for
performance during her first major field assignment, Elizabeth made a resounding impression on CIA’s Near East (NE) Division, proving that a female officer could operate securely in an intense counterintelligence environment. Whereas the original plan had not involved her running local agents due to her gender, she not only handled agents but also did so in the face of more aggressive scrutiny of US officials than had prevailed before.
During one of her Middle East assignments, Elizabeth recruited an agent who had access to details on a variety of Soviet military hardware, including the MiG-19 fighter, the MiG-21 fighter, the SA2 missile, and many other systems. Details on this equipment were a high priority for the US Intelligence Community.
At her instruction, they would plan to “accidentally” encounter each other at local coffeehouses or as the source was exiting a movie theater. They would chat for several minutes and then move on.
In the life of the case, this agent would supply dozens of volumes of technical manuals on the Soviet equipment. In a typical operation, Elizabeth would meet the agent brief-ly, with the agent handing Elizabeth an object such as a roll of material. She would take it back to a secure location, where it would be copied. Elizabeth would then return the manual to the agent later that night.
Technical analysts in the US Intelligence Community found these manuals invaluable, and they occasionally led to reassessments of the capabilities of the Soviet systems.
Her Chief of Station (COS) had this to say: “Apprehension by the security authorities of the agent or of [Elizabeth] while engaged in this op-eration would probably mean death for the agent and grave consequences for [Elizabeth]. [Elizabeth] has been fully aware of the risks involved, but in the best tradition of [CIA] has never hesitated to accept these risks because of the importance of the material involved.”
For the recruitment, her Station chief nominated Elizabeth for the Intelligence Medal of Merit (IMM). A retired Agency officer later recalled the controversy that ensued within NE Division over whether it was ap-propriate for a female who was not listed as an operations officer to win such a distinction for an operational act. Colleagues in NE who knew Elizabeth, most importantly her COS, successfully lobbied over the objections of several opponents in the Division. In August 1962, Elizabeth received the medal.
Despite successes, hurdles remain
Despite this success, Elizabeth was passed over for promotion to GS-13—a common mid-career grade—for several years. The record does not contain written deliberations or feedback on why Elizabeth was not promoted for several years despite being eligible, but the language of her supervisors when arguing for her promotion makes clear that gender was an issue. One plainly asked the promotion panel not to let her gender prevent her from making that grade. A former NE Division officer who knew Elizabeth told the Center for the Study of Intelligence, “I can tell

executive roles.Agency leaders were dismis-
sive. CIA inspector general Lyman Kirkpatrick responded that “No supervisor in this Agency in his right mind is going to take a good stenog-rapher or a darned good competent file clerk and say, well, just because you got your BA …we are going to make a Case Officer or Researcher out of you.” Richard Helms, at the time the Chief of Operations in the Directorate of Plans (forerun-ner of the NCS and DO) and later a Director of Central Intelligence, commented that “it is just nonsense for these gals to come in here and think the Government is going to fall apart because their brains aren’t going to be used to the maximum.” Agency executives also discussed the likeli-hood that women would get married and exit the workforce, which as they saw it, made training younger women a waste of time.
Elizabeth proves herselfin overseas ops
Upon completing operations training, Elizabeth began a new career track as a reports officer. In the field, reports officers managed the Stations’ Foreign Intelligence production and ensured that the Station was collect-ing against the most priority targets and meeting the needs of intelligence consumers back home. Reports offi-cers who were operationally certified could handle agents, though as indi-cated by her supervisor on the eve of one of her assignments, operational activity, in the Middle East at least, tended to be the realm of men only.
As a result of her operational

AND MORE BRANDS!
you outright that hers was a monu-mental struggle as NE Division was dead set against the idea and concept of a female ops officer.” She was finally promoted to GS-13 in 1966, having been a GS-12 for eight years.
Elizabeth’s operational success, recognition with the IMM, and promotion to GS-13 abetted another process underway at the time: the professionalization of the reports of-ficer. Reports officers had substantive expertise in the countries for which they were responsible and served as the bridge between the consumer and field collector. They sent intelligence requirements to the field, evaluated the reports at Headquarters, and decided which intelligence reports would be disseminated to the com-munity. At the time, few reports were disseminated directly from the field; most were sent to the reports desk for review, and as much as 20 percent of the reporting was culled from operational traffic, making the Headquarters reports officer espe-cially critical.
Despite this role, reports was considered a trivial task. In 1960, a CIA review said that “There is a general feeling that handling reports is women’s work, and that the reports slots are logical tracks for promot-ing bright girls from the secretarial ranks.” It also said that, “there is a general feeling that the preparation of reports is a tedious and incidental chore, to be avoided like the plague by any promising and ambitious young man who wants to get ahead in operations.”
Though it didn’t come quickly, appreciation for the contribution of reports officers grew over time, in large part due to the impact of individual officers such as Elizabeth. That an officer had achieved such an operational success in the 1960s was one of the early demonstrations that, like gender, an officer’s designated career track did not determine opera-tional success. Today, the position of reports officer, known more formally as a Collection Management Officer (CMO) is one of the two core collec-tor career tracks in CIA’s Directorate of Operations (formally the National Clandestine Service).
Honoring Elizabeth’s historic contributions
Elizabeth took mandatory retire-ment on May 12, 1972, at age sixty. In retirement she remained loyal to the Agency, and during the tumultu-ous mid-1970s when the Agency was subject to regular attacks the media, Elizabeth would cancel her subscrip-tion to newspapers and magazines if she believed they went too far in maligning the Agency. (She would then renew, only to un-subscribe again; she did this several times with the Washington Post.) She continued living in the Washington, DC area, quiet about the details of her Agency career, until her death in April 1989.
Elizabeth never held a high-profile position of leadership, and four de-cades after her retirement she was all but unknown to the CIA workforce. Based on a nomination from the CIA Center for the Study of Intelligence, however, she was selected as one of the 2013 CIA Trailblazers.
A CIA officer who had known Elizabeth in the 1950s recalled her impact first-hand: “She was a real pistol….The fact that she accom-plished so much is incredible given the general antagonism of NE officers to women functioning as ops officers.
This was a general view among [Directorate of Operations] male ops officers….Liz certainly paved the way for female ops officers.”
CIA has always had talented people filling a variety of roles. The Agency continues to find new ways to maximize the skills and attributes of its officers and from within the US population at large. Appreciation of diversity at the Agency was not imme-diate, and took some time before its broader acceptance today. Elizabeth’s case did not remove all barriers faced by female employees, just as no one person or event in our country’s civil rights saga ended all forms of discrimination nationally. But each person and each episode have had an impact and a lasting legacy even if the particulars have faded into history. Elizabeth Sudmeier’s quiet yet extraordinary work—one of the unheralded intelligence triumphs of the Cold War—helped change the culture at CIA to one that better har-nesses the talents of its workforce, and it is to the Agency’s benefit that the details of her contribution have been rediscovered.

ARC, PLC and CTAP acreage maintenance
Producers enrolled in Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC), Price Loss Coverage (PLC) or the Cotton Transition Assistance Program (CTAP) must protect all cropland and noncropland acres on the farm from wind and water erosion and noxious weeds. Producers who sign ARC county or individual contracts and PLC contracts agree to effectively control noxious weeds on the farm according to sound agricultural prac-tices. If a producer fails to take neces-sary actions to correct a maintenance problem on a farm that is enrolled in ARC, PLC or CTAP, the County Committee may elect to terminate the contract for the program year.
A list of noxious weeds can be found on the following web-site: http://plants.usda.gov/java/noxiousDriver.
Filing a Notice of LossThe CCC-576, Notice of Loss,
is used to report failed acreage and
prevented planting and may be completed by any producer with an interest in the crop. Timely filing a Notice of Loss is required for all crops including grasses. For losses on crops covered by the Non-Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) and crop insurance, you must file a CCC-576, Notice of Loss, in the FSA County Office within 15 days of the occurrence of the disaster or when losses become apparent.
Producers of hand-harvested crops must notify FSA of damage or loss through the administrative County Office within 72 hours of the date of damage or loss first becomes appar-ent. This notification can be provided by filing a CCC-576, email, fax or phone. Producers who notify the County Office by any method other than by filing the CCC-576 are still required to file a CCC-576, Notice of Loss, within the required 15 cal-endar days.
If filing for prevented planting, an acreage report and CCC-576 must be filed within 15 calendar days of the final planting date for the crop.

By Mike Huber, SD Wheat Growers Agronomist
Ph. 605-823-4441South Dakota Wheat Growers,
SDSU Extension Service, and the Dewey County Crop Improvement Association will be conducting their annual Crop Tour on July 17.
Crops got off to a slow start this
year with the cold, dry spring. Many of the small grains got planted early, but cold soil and frost kept things from getting off to a good start. Row crops like corn had challenges also. Those that got planted early got hurt by cold soil temperatures and snow in May. Also an extremely wet May made it hard to get warm
season crops planted. Weather conditions and other challenges are facing producers again this year. We should have a lot of things to look at and discuss during this year’s tour.
Crop tours are an excellent way to discuss the issues that are showing up and work on managing them in the future. The tours are also an excellent opportunity for producers to view new crop varieties that are being released for our area. It is also a great time to visit with friends and neighbors.
Some of the people that will be
taking part in the tour on July 17 in-clude: Ruth Beck , SDSU Agronomy Field Specialist; Mike Huber, SD Wheat Growers Agronomist, and other area agronomists and industry representatives.
Here is the complete agenda for the upcoming tour:
3:00 p.m. MT: Rick and Ben Bieber Farm – Trail City
• Spring Variety Plot• Alternative CropsLocated 6 miles north of Hwy 63
& 20 Junction (west of Trail City) then 1 mile west.
5:00 p.m. MT: Alan and Jiggs Biegler Farm – Timber Lake
• Spring Wheat and Winter Wheat Variety Plots
• Alternative Crops (Oil Seed Crops)
Located 6 miles west, 1 mile north of Timber Lake on Hwy 20
Hope to see you at the upcoming tour. If you would like more specific information on the tour you may contact Mike Huber at SD Wheat Growers, 823-4441 or 850-4198.
Annual crop tour will stop at Bieber and Biegler farms July 17
