by Nancy HaighSeth Marbry started his deputy

sheriff duties in the HaakonCounty sheriff’s department De-cember 3.

Marbry and Philip High Schoolscience teacher Karmen Powellmarried in October. Since the wed-ding Marbry was keeping an eyeout for a job in Philip. He said hehad considered a possible job in lawenforcement and when the deputyposition opened up he decided thetiming was right.

Marbry, a native of Minnesota,moved to Philip from McIntosh. Hesaid he has enjoyed what he hasseen of Haakon County. He notedthe area was quiet and the peopleare friendly.

With the residents of the Philiparea being wrestling minded, Mar-bry will fit right in. He was very ac-tive in wrestling while growing upand even participated in the JuniorOlympics. He also traveled the

rodeo circuit some in the rough-stock events. Marbry is also anavid hunter, rifle as well as bow.

Canadian Pacific railway an-nounced December 4 its intentionto explore strategic options for itsmain line track from Tracy, Minn.,west into South Dakota, Nebraskaand Wyoming and is inviting ex-pressions of interest from prospec-tive partners. The line includes approximately660 miles of track which encom-passes CP’s current operations be-tween Tracy, Minn., and RapidCity, S.D., north of Rapid City toColony, Wyo., south of Rapid Cityto Dakota Junction, Neb., and con-necting branchlines. CP has oper-ated the rail line in this area sinceit assumed operational control ofthe Dakota, Minnesota and East-ern (DM&E) railroad in 2008. Anumber of grain, ethanol, clay andmerchandise customers are rail-served in the area. “This portion of the CP networkwould be an attractive and highlyviable opportunity for a low-costoperator. There is a strong long-term franchise here for an operatorwilling to maintain high qualityservice and explore growth oppor-

tunities with existing and futurecustomers,” said E. Hunter Harri-son, President and Chief ExecutiveOfficer. “CP has successfully builtmany partnerships with shortlineand Class 1 railroads throughoutits system and we look forward toassessing the ways interested par-ties could work together with us todeliver quality service to customerson the west end of the DM&Ethrough an innovative partner-ship.” CP will be contacting interestedparties seeking expressions of in-terest in December, 2012. Partiesshould contact Paul Clegg, DirectorBusiness Development at403.319.6310 for further informa-tion. “CP will continue to fully servecustomers along this rail line as wework with interested parties andevaluate proposals. We have un-dertaken similar reviews on otherportions on our network in the pastthat have resulted in positive out-comes for shippers, employees, andoperators,’’ added Harrison.

DM&E railroad for sale

by Nancy HaighDuring the Haakon County

Board of Commissioners meetingDecember 4, they approved thepurchase of two motor gradersfrom Butler Machinery, RapidCity.

Alex Kulesza, customer accounttechnician with Butler Machinery,presented the board with quotes fortwo graders. The units will have upto 250 hours on them. Kulesza saidthe city of Sioux Falls leases Cater-pillar graders to use between Octo-ber 1 and March 31. “Cat thenturns around and helps out withpricing,” said Kulesza.

The machines would have sixand one-half years left on theirwarranties. After that time Cater-pillar guarantees a buy back of$150,000 for each machine. Thewarranties also include mileage onrepair trips. Kulesza said the onlyitems not covered by the warrantyare wear items such as bladesharpening, broken windows, etc.

The two graders purchased in2008 have had several issues withthe drive train and transmission.The county has had to pay mileagewhen a technician has had to cometo Haakon County. Chairman EdBriggs questioned Kulesza if thoseissues had been fixed in the newermodels. “What they’re telling uslast spring this grader is actuallybetter on repairs then the Hswere,” said Kulesza.

Kulesza noted the peak time tosell a machine is when it is fiveyears old, it is when you get themost money out of them.

Haakon County will replace2002 and 2004 models. The two oldgraders will be inspected and ap-praised by Butler Machinery. Thecounty has five graders in theirhighway department.

The county has one more pay-ment on the two graders purchasedin 2008. The last payment will bemade about the time the newgraders are scheduled to arrive.

Funds to purchase the newgraders will come out of the capitaloutlay account that is set up formachinery purchases. No opt-outfunds will be used to purchase theblades. The cost of the two bladesand two rippers is $539,789.10

Highway Department Superin-tendent Kenny Neville informedthe board that the South DakotaDepartment of Transportation isoffering the counties swap fundsonce again for the Surface Trans-portation Program. The county would receive approxi-mately $200,000 again this year.

Neville urged the board to acceptthe swap funds. “You never know,the next year we may not be giventhe option and it would go straightto STP funds,” he said. Neville saidthis way the money can be used forother things.

Neville said that two bridge proj-

ects have been pushed into 2014.The two bridges are near eachother. Originally the two projectswere designated to two differentyears. Neville noted that by havingthem both bid for work in 2014 thecounty should get a better quote onthem.

Haakon County State’s AttorneyGay Tollefson updated the board onthe issue with Sage InformationServices, Glen Ellen, Calif., requestfor public information from the di-rector of equalization office. Shesaid that assessor Toni Rhodes hadreceived another letter from thebusiness last week stating that ifthe county did not comply within10 days the county would be in de-fault. Tollefson said JerauldCounty took this issue to the courtsand are possibly working on an ap-

peal. She said she would like to usethat to Haakon County’s advan-tage, but until she speaks with thestate’s attorney there she won’treply back to the business.

It could possibly delay having togive the information for up to ayear. But unless the federal law ischanged, the counties will eventu-ally have to give the company theinformation.

Alcoholic beverage licenses forSouth Fork Ranch, LLC, T-34Truck Stop, Lake Waggoner GolfCourse Association and WheelerBrooks American Legion Post #173were approved. Auditor Pat Free-man said that Trudy Flesner,owner of T-34 has asked aboutbeing allowed to sell beverages on

Commissioners agree to purchase graders

by Del Bartels The Philip City Council has al-lowed another month’s time forstudies to be reviewed by con-cerned citizens on the ongoing floodplain issue. During its Monday, December 3,meeting, the council again listenedto concerns that are stalling the ap-proval of a railroad siding projectproposed by Dakota Mill and Grainat the August council meeting. Asspokesman for the neighborhoodgroup of flood plain landowners,Jay Baxter said, “I would like somesolid evidence that I am not jeop-ardizing the safety of my neighborsand their homes.” Baxter related that a neighbor-hood meeting the evening before

was based on the question, “Is thisgoing to increase the risk of flood-ing?” Baxter said, “I cannot sayhow this new railing will affectthis, but an engineer could.” During open discussion, DonBurns said, “What is the elevatordoing that will affect the flooding?What is that going to do to you oryour property? Absolutely noth-ing.” Speaking for Dakota Mill andGrain, Andrew Kangas said, “Thisproject will not change the existingchannel ... what we are going to dois like putting a grain of sand in abathtub. It will be insignificant.”He indicated that the reversing ofthe drainage toward the river fromthe tract where the siding will be,and using some fill from near thetrestle will probably help the situ-ation. Mayor Mike Vetter, who has re-peatedly tried to keep separate therailroad trestle issue and theDM&G building permit request, in-terjected, “We are talking about thetrestle bridge again.” Conversationthen included the barium coolingpond, which was constructed by theUnited States Army Corps of Engi-neers, and how rail-siding con-struction might affect flooding ofthe pond. The neighborhood consortium re-quested time to talk personallywith the city’s engineer and toscrutinize all available studies,which Baxter agreed were madeavailable through the city financeoffice. Bringing in the FederalEmergency Management Agencyor the Corps of Engineers mightnot be necessary. Bart Banks, for DM&G, said,“We can’t do anything until this isdone ... We are trying to accommo-date, but the more time we take themore its going to cost us. There willbe a point where it will affect ourdecisions.” The council’s decision on theDM&G building permit was tableduntil the next regular council meet-ing. In the mean time, the city hasapproved a resolution to become amember of the Haakon County Re-

gional Railroad Authority. In other city business, all currentliquor licenses have been approvedfor renewal. The council also ex-tended Demeon Brown’s airporthangar lease an additional sixmonths to May 30, 2013, for whichBrown has already paid. Mike andDebbie Miller have been granted avariance request, and thus beenapproved a building permit for theinstallation of a propane tank. Other approved building permitsincluded Elke Baxter putting up ayard sign, for the Dennis Kennedyestate putting in a propane tank,Marion Nelson doing a sewer linerepair/replacement, Dean andMary Parsons putting in a ramp,Larry Schulz moving in a 12’x16’shed, and Jason Harry replacing asewer line. The Haakon County HistoricalSociety, represented by BobbySloat and Sandra O’Connor, willdonate its land to the city. Theland, north of the Senechel apart-ments and near where the old mu-seum building used to be, will beleased back to the society. The citywill include the future park’s liabil-ity insurance requirements withthe rest of the city parks. In ex-change, the society will be respon-sible for improvements and upkeepof the park. The current salaries and bills,which totaled $144,018.69, in-cludes $86,077.35 to Muth Electricfor the airport improvement proj-ect. The federal and state govern-ment will pay 98 percent of thetotal for the airport projects – themedium intensity runway lightingand the land acquisition/environ-mental assessment project. Finalinspection of the completed workwas done December 4. The Haakon County auditor’s of-fice has determined that the city ofPhilip does not owe any expensesfor the city’s bond election held inconjunction with the primary elec-tion. No additional expenses wereincurred above what the countywould have had if the city electionhad not been on the ballot. The council was given an

The Philip Chamber of Com-merce held its December meetingon Monday, December 10. The Prairie Area has nominatedKeith Emerson as its 2012 Endow-ment Honoree. “He dedicated a lotof his life to conservation,” saidJennifer Jones, district managerwith the Haakon County Conserva-tion District. In accepting the plaque, Emer-son summed up his conservatin be-liefs with, “Under all is the land.” Emerson is a lifelong resident ofHaakon County. He was born atthe Emerson Ranch located north-west of Ottumwa in 1922. He mar-ried Lucille in September of 1947.They raised their four children, twoboys and two girls, on the home-stead. Keith served on the HaakonCounty Conservation Districtboard from 1966 through 1989. In1972, he was the first place winnerin the Greater South Dakota Asso-ciation conservation contest. In1981, he was chosen as the Societyfor Range Management Area IVRange Man of the Year. Emersonwas also very active in the commu-nity of Philip, serving on the schoolboard for seven years in the 1970s.He served on the legislatively ap-pointed board in the late 60s to re-organize school districts. He waselected as board president of theLand Title Association for a term.Emerson strongly believes in theobjectives of the Great Plains Con-servation Program, and made someimprovements to his ranch underthis program. In 1979, he and Lucille pur-chased the Abstract and Title busi-ness in Philip. They leased theirranch and moved to town. In 2005,they sold their ranch just a fewyears shy of reaching the centen-nial homestead ranch status. Emerson said that he always en-joyed being on the conservation dis-

trict board, working with all theother area ranchers. He remem-bered that they enjoyed a greatcomradery. He feels that conserva-tion practices have changed overthe years and technology hashelped carve a new path for a lot ofproducers. When he was operatinghis ranch, his rangeland philoso-phy was always to take half andleave half. In his opinion, conserva-tion was all about saving the soiland saving the grass. The Haakon County Conserva-

tion District is honored to presentKeith Emerson with the PrairieArea Endowment Award for his 23years of service on the districtboard and lifetime of service to theconservation effort. In chamber business, discussionwas held on future appreciation ac-tivities that might draw people toPhilip. The next meeting for thePhilip Chamber of Commerce willbe at 7:00 p.m., Monday, January14, in the meeting room of the 73–Saloon.

The concrete floor has been poured for the future D&T Auto Parts store west ofMorrison’s Pit Stop. The crew used a concrete pump, which uses a boom andflexible tube to allow the mixture to be aimed from the cement truck directly towhere it has to be placed. It greatly improves upon using shovels and wheelbar-rows for those hard to reach and larger jobs. Photo by Del Bartels

overview by council member TrishaLarson on the National Park Serv-ice helping find grants and creatinggeneral blue prints for developinga community trail plan. Thoughthe overview was informationalonly, the council seemed interestedin such a community-wide project,what ever it might eventually be. Under the quarterly water re-port, the softball association andthe rodeo grounds association,which share a water line, will workout each of their shares of an $800summer water bill. Also, somewater meters in town were checkedso that they are within 98 percentaccuracy. The testing was com-pleted by the City of Rapid City,which waived the $80 per metertesting cost. Under the heading of public com-ments, school board member

Vonda Hamill said that years agoshe sat in the audience on an issuevery important to her, as did manypeople during this meeting on theflooding issue. She ran for theschool board so she could be on theother end. She believes everyone,at some point, should sit on bothsides of the table. City offices will be closed Decem-ber 24-25 and January 1 in obser-vance of the legal holidays. To dispose of real Christmastrees, contact the city office. The year-end special meeting ofthe city council will be Friday, De-cember 28, at 4:00 p.m. in the com-munity room.

Lookin’ Around by Syd Iwan

Whatever would we find to do ifwe didn’t have to constantly dealwith changes--or fix stuff and tidythings up? We might be forced towatch TV all the time or read tonsof books. If you’re a sportsman, youmight have to hunt or fish all thetime. What a bleak outlook. Itdoesn’t bear thinking about. This all occurred to me the otherday as I was driving around theranch. I first went to the riverplace to consult with Ted about hishealth insurance. The companyhas discontinued his type of pol-icy—probably because it was toogenerous so they weren’t makingenough money on it. Anyway, ifyou haven’t dealt with health in-surance lately, you’re lucky. It’s apain as is all insurance. There arecountless companies and tons ofoptions to consider. First you haveto decide how much coverage youwant followed by consideration ofcost, deductible, co-insurance(whatever that is,) and a few dozenother things. It takes quite a bit ofreading and thinking to come upwith a policy that might acciden-tally be the right one for you. Thetotal time spent is considerable.Without dealing with changes ininsurance, Ted and I could havewatched more TV. On the way back out of the riverranch, there was Jim on the roadfixing a gate. That bit of wirestretched between two posts hadbeen closed when I went throughthe car gate next to it earlier, but Iguess Jim didn’t think it wouldstay that way very long withoutsome upgrading. Anyway, he had aspool of barbed wire and the othertools and supplies needed to effectrepairs. He was making goodprogress, as far as I could tell, untilone of his leather gloves got mis-placed. Barbed wire and barehands don’t go together very well.The glove was eventually run toearth and work resumed. Withoutgate disintegration, Jim mighthave had time to take a nap oreven go fishing, and fishing was apossibility. The river and stockdams were not frozen over that daywhich is a little odd for the firstweek of December, but there youare. Sometimes there’s ice a footthick already by Thanksgiving,

never mind Christmas. When I got back to the homeranch, semi-resident-carpenterChad had most of the north wall ofthe car garage torn off. It was, ac-cording to him, a load-bearing wallthat was no longer bearing much ofanything. The two-by-fours hadrotted off at the bottom, and therewas some danger of collapse. Thiswas by no means the oldest build-ing on the place, but somehow itwas the one falling apart. I’m notsure what caused the wood to gobad, but it was probably a combi-nation of poor siding and maybethe vermiculate Dad had used tofill the bottom half of the wall. Theinsulating material might have col-lected moisture let in by the badsiding and promoted rot. Whoknows the whys and wherefores,but there was a definite problemthat needed to be addressed. With-out having to deal with collapsingbuildings, Chad could have gonedown to the river place and shot afew more prairie dogs. That issomething he enjoys quite a bit. Hedid eventually call it a day, grabhis gun and go, but it was fairlylate in the day by then. He claimedhe needed a change from carpenterto varmint-control officer. A bit later I was scratchingaround in the basement looking forsome stuff when I noticed a pile ofcardboard boxes needing disposal.The floor needed to be swept aswell. I didn’t have time right thento do much cleaning, but the workis still there needing to be doneand promising to take up some ofmy leisure time in the near future.If you look around anywhere youhappen to be, there usually issomething or other that needscleaning or straightening. The topof my desk is a case in point. On the other hand, maybe weneed change and all the otherthings that take time. Any usefuland necessary work tends to makeus think we are accomplishingsomething and are therefore usefuland indispensable people. It helpsthe ego a bit. Well, in any case,there is no shortage of work outthere that we can do to build oursense of self-worth. Aren’t you justtickled to death about that? Isurely am.

Commissioners – graders

Christmas spirit ... by Del Bartels

The store owner had a busy day, what with browsers and shoppers

in all day, especially just after school got out. Kids dreamed or asked

or begged or followed behind parents with quiet wonder of what Santa

might bring. He could see the cogs turning in the minds of parents,

checking mentally – without obviously looking at their checkbooks –

on how tight the Christmas budget was.

Busy was okay, but busier would be nice. So many people made trips

to the big city. He would be biting his tongue come the new year on

how his prices had compared, on how the service had excelled and how

he could have passed on what he saw customer’s family members look-

ing at – supposedly for their own wish list. He had off-handedly com-

mented to Mrs. So-and-so that her husband would probably like the

battery cables more than the plier set (especially since her husband

had gotten the plier set a month ago). The Johnson kid was dipping

into his lawn mowing money this season, but it seemed like it was

worth it. He couldn’t help but overhear three high school girls debating

on what one of their boyfriends would like, and finally – after all their

jokes about a kiss – he aimed them toward the music CD that the

young man had been looking at the other day.

He gave away a sale when he suggested a food gift basket for some

kid’s grandmother. He guessed that her budget was tighter than she

would ever admit, and that food was more needed than a scented can-

dle. He watched several potential sales walk out the door after people

had been idea shopping, hoping for cheaper prices in the city come the

weekend. Then, the long lines, crowds, hungry kids and other hectic-

ness would wear them down so they will probably purchase something

just to be done with that name on their list.

Gas wasn’t as expensive as a few months ago. Some city shopping

trips revolved around other reasons, such as doctor appointments or

visiting in-laws (and outlaws) who lived there. Agreed, sometimes a

road trip was just fun. Still, the shop owner missed certain faces, and

had to admit he certainly missed the business.

He came out of his thoughts, overhearing a whispering mother

telling her daughter that a certain tree ornament was just too expen-

sive this year. The little girl bravely took the decision stoically. He

quickly went back to the storeroom, grabbed the same ornament and

returned to the counter. The mother came to the check-out counter,

while the girl was still admiring the figurine. He nonchalantly men-

tioned that he didn’t really want the hassle of returning a slightly

scratched item and would gladly sell it for half price. He pointed out to

the mother the “scratch,” which didn’t exist. She smiled sheepishly at

the store owner. The little girl would be surprised this Christmas with

just what she wanted.

Hard times and sales that could be better ... it was still Christmas.

by Del Bartels “They’re fun, that’s mainly thething,” said muzzleloader enthusi-ast Matt Reedy. He also admittedthat the odds of drawing a muzzle-loader hunting tag, particularly inNew Mexico, are “way better” thanthe odds of drawing a regularfirearm hunting tag. The state of South Dakota holdsa statewide deer hunting seasonspecifically for the use of primitivemuzzleloader firearms. The datesfor this year’s muzzleloader deerseason are December 1, 2012,through January 15, 2013. A muz-zleloader rifle, though, may be usedduring the regular season. Ahunter who has drawn a regularhunting tag may use a muzzle-loader, and without the restrictionsimposed during the muzzleloaderseason. According to Chuck Schlueterwith the South Dakota Game, Fish

and Parks Department, there hasbeen a muzzleloader season inSouth Dakota since 1991. Permitsfor the muzzleloader season arevalid throughout most of SouthDakota, unlike the regular fire-arms season which limits licenseareas such as to within HaakonCounty. Muzzleloaders are legal asan alternative for seasons wherefirearms are permitted, includingdeer, elk, turkey, small game andgame birds. In South Dakota, a limited num-ber of “any deer” licenses are avail-able to residents only for muzzle-loader season. Antlerless deer per-mits are available to both residentsand nonresidents and sold throughthe end of the season. The South Dakota Game, Fishand Parks Commission has decidedto allow the use of smokeless pow-der, peep sights and other opticsnot employing magnification dur-

ing hunting seasons restricted tomuzzleloading rifles. The changeswill allow muzzleloader enthusi-asts to use optics such as red dotand aim points to improve theirsight picture without magnifica-tion. Also, it is now legal for a per-son hunting small game with ashotgun and shotshells to accom-pany a licensed firearm big gamehunter in the field. However, smallgame hunters who accompany biggame hunters may not use dogs. Neal Petersen, owner of Pe-tersen’s Variety in Philip, said thatprobably the main reason forGF&P allowing smokeless powderis safety. Black powder explodeswhen ignited, even if not inside acompressed area such as a gun bar-rel. Smokeless powder, if acciden-tally ignited, will simply burn.Storage of black powder is an ex-tremely dangerous prospect. Like regular firearms and bow

by Sonya Nemec Samantha Schwalm, a formerstudent at the Midland School hasgrown to enjoy poetry; some of herfavorite writers are Edgar AllanPoe, William Shakespeare andOscar Wilde. “Poems” says Saman-tha, “make words and notionssound eloquent.” Last Memorial Day, Samanthaand her mother, Julie Schwalm,visited the old Midland Cemeterywhich sits atop a high hill justnorth of Midland. Visiting thatcemetery touched Samantha in aprofound way. Samantha sharedwith me her thoughts and feelingsof that visit. “History of the place was richand tangible” says Samantha, “butthe passing of time and the disar-ray of some of the headstones gavethe place an air of melancholy.After visiting the cemetery Ithought about it quite a bit, butonly after I entered the contest, didI think about putting the words toa poem. When writing the poem Ithought about the men and womenburied there, but not only abouttheir deaths, their lives. The ceme-tery seemed to be a forgotten place.Somewhere that people don’t thinkabout; and maybe the headstoneswill not last forever, but I felt theyshould be in some way, immortal-ized. I think we don’t appreciatecemeteries as much as we should.The past and the people who camebefore us should not be allowed tofade away.” Samantha Schwalm entered the

International Open Amateur Po-etry Contest this past summersponsored by the World PoetryMovement and in July was notifiedthat her poem was one of the semi-finalists. As a finalist, her poemwould be published in a book "Starsin Our Hearts" in the fall. In Octo-ber, she received notification thatshe was a first place winner and assuch she received a $50 Gold Amer-ican Eagle Tribute medal. Saman-tha is shown holding the medal andthe book containing her poem.

I Know a Place

I know a placeNot so very far

Where the land touches the sun andthe moon and the starsAnd all noise is but a whisper, re-spectful of those who shall never rise This is a place of names forgotten, farlonger than rememberedWhere dreams once flown upon vel-veteen wingslie shattered and crushed on thegroundWhere time has made a fool of alland rules over the ground with aniron fistA tyrant to be fearedAnd in this place where the majestyof stone legacyhas crumbled into dustendless sorrow presides, presides forAlas! What soft breaths have silencedand what tender hearts shall beat nomoreOh! And I should scarcely knowwhat comfort is there for those be-yond all recompenseand what comfort has been since for pleading hearts left aloneabandoned for a place unknown.

hunting, the distance of a muzzle-loader shot taken by the hunter isup to the hunter. “This is definedas much by ethics as skill,” saidSchlueter. Reedy said that hisnewer in-line gun, which uses abullet-shaped sabot instead of theold-fashioned ball, is consistentlyaccurate at 200 yards. “We do not have survey informa-tion on hunter preference for bullettype, but there are many new prod-ucts on the market including bulletshaped projectiles. Legal require-ments for big game hunting is .44caliber or greater,” said Schlueter.He added that some restrictionshave changed since 1991. “Whenthis season was established, muz-zleloaders saw it as an opportunityto pursue deer and their passion forprimitive firearms. The requestwas to make requirements to keepmuzzleloader weapons in line withtraditional restrictions. Reedy compared the cost ofshooting a muzzleloader versus thecost of shooting a modern stylerifle. “The biggest expense youhave in a shell is the brass casing.In-line doesn’t have that.” In-lineshooting still involves the powderbeing put down the barrel of therifle, followed by pressing the sabotin next. The traditional waddingthat holds the ball tight against thepowder has been replaced with aplastic covering around the sabot.Old or new, the powder is still ig-nited by a flash or primer from out-side of the barrel through a pinholebehind the packed powder. Reedysaid that he can reload his muzzle-loader “fairly quickly” by droppingin two pyrodex pellets of powder,ramming in the pre-wrapped sabot,and replacing the spent primer. Though this year’s blue-tongue(epizootic hemorrhagic disease)epidemic has greatly affected thenumber of whitetail deer in SouthDakota. “It may affect success, butit did not affect the number of li-censes issued. Licenses will be soldthrough the end of the 2012 season,but so far we have sold just over4,100 licenses,” said Schlueter. There were 5,012 licenses issuedfor the 2011 muzzleloader deer sea-son. Hunters who responded to thesurveys by the GF&P reported anaverage of almost five days of hunt-ing. The overall success rate for the2011 season was 26 percent. Sur-vey responders reported 15 deerharvested in Haakon County dur-ing the muzzleloader season.Schlueter said that the departmentdoes not break down success forseasons where muzzleloaders areused as part of a regular firearmsseason.

*** Well, I am glad to see quiltingwith Sandy on the new DecemberSomerset Court schedule. Thereare a number of exciting new fea-tures for December. December 6,

Christmas light looking. December12, sugar free jazz concert at theDahl. December 12 we will be mak-ing gingerbread houses, December15 Story Book Island light viewing,December 21 is flannel pajama dayand the wild kingdom preschoolprogram. November 30, I went to the fu-neral of Eva Forner, Box Elder. Ihad known her family, the Phil andClara (Evenson) Doughty family,when she and her sisters were kids.I will treasure the beautiful mem-ory card with photos of Eva. M.R. Hansen came for scrabbleand he brought the new December2012 publication of the AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers, called“Civil Tongue.” On the front page isan article about Willie the Whale ofStory Book Island fame. The SouthDakota School of Mines and Tech-nology Student Chapter of Ameri-can Society of Civil Engineers com-pletely rebuilt Willy the Whale.This well-loved Story Book Islandattraction had been in place forover 50 years. A troop of 13 or soSDSM&T students went to HansenIndustries, Inc. welding shop in Ft.Pierre to bend steel and weld thenew skeleton into shape. Theframe, as designed by BSCE juniorAbby Fleck, is six feet tall and 20feet long. Willy’s skeleton wasbrought to Story Book Island inRapid City over the summer of2012, mesh and concrete layerswere added to form Willy’s skin.The new surface must cure for afew months before it is painted. Among other stories in the “CivilTongue” are items about the con-crete canoe and the steel bridgecompetitions. Somerset Court movies for De-cember include: “Polar Express,”“Jack Frost,” “White Christmas,”and a movie marathon. December 1, before lunch, Addie,Mary Lou, Susan and Vivianplayed a little quiddler. Saturdayafternoon, we had the activity ofquilting with Sandy. SomersetCourt residents who would like tohelp can meet in the activity gar-den. What we do is make lap robesin a pattern of the old fashionednine-patch, very colorful. Theyhave batting, so they are warm too.These quilts are donated at Christ-mas time to various charities. Usu-ally, we have five or six to giveaway. This year we hope to givethem to a veterans group. We enjoythis activity. Annetta, Margaretand Vivian sewed, Addie arrangedfabrics and ironed. Mary Lou and

Floy cut blocks. Sandy organizedthe work, laid out materials andgave us ice water and some deli-cious cookie bars and miniaturechocolate bars. Thank you, Sandy.Thelma Frame and friend, Fred,Charlie and Marge Self came tovisit. Others set up games of whistand rummi-cube. Marge playedrummi-cube for the first time. Thank you to Somerset Courtresident LaVerne With, who sentme her Lakota English dictionaryby Rev. Buechel. I was especiallyinterested in counting to 10 inLakota language. It goes like this:wanji (sometimes spelled wanci)nunpa, yamin, topa, zaptan, sakpe,sakowin, saglogan, napciyunka,and wicemna. If you would like toknow further Lakota numberwords, this book is a good source. Marilyn Butts gave us severalitems to put in the Somerset Courtscrapbook on the coffee table by thefireplace. Thanks, Marilyn. Leslie dropped in this morningwith a little poem and further ex-amples of finding square root. December 4 was brown shoe day.This is an opportunity to earn someSomerset bucks and to give us timeto find our brown shoes or makesome brown yarn pom-poms to dec-orate our shoes with. My son, Leslie, dropped in atlunch time Sunday, but he onlystayed a minute. Sunday, December 2, 2012, atSomerset Court, we had non-de-nominational church services withTerry Pulse and Steve. Terry toldus about Bible history leading up tothe birth of Jesus. It was prophe-sied hundreds of years before itcame about. Thank you, Terry,Steve and Jack. A bunch of Somerset Court resi-dents went on the Somerset bus ona shopping trip Sunday. Leslie Hansen dropped in afterchurch and visited till supper time.We walked laps and talked to resi-dents as we went past their apart-ments. Later, Leslie played thepiano in the activity garden for afew minutes. To mention interesting apart-ment doorway decorations, one Inoticed was Addie Rorvig’s nativityscene which is carved from varicol-ored olive wood from the HolyLand. A Philip memory from my home-town: At Ned Ronning’s butchershop, when I was a kid, they filledtheir front store window with hollyat Christmas time. And each cus-tomer could have a sprig. How my

mother loved that! Tuesday! WEAR BROWNSHOES DAY! If you don’t have anybrown shoes, you might try what Idid. I took strips of masking tapeand wrote BROWN on them andwrapped them around the toes ofmy shoes. We have a new resident on thefirst floor, Elmae Helfenstein. WEhope you like it here, Elmae! My granddaughter, Melissa(Butcher) Snively, emails fromGillette, Wyo., that she likes keep-ing old traditions alive. She hasbeen making pickles and bakingbread. I am glad she treasures tra-ditions. Happy birthday to my daughter-

in-law, Barbara Hansen! She isgone on a Caribbean cruise withher daughter and grandson, Hollyand Asher Maudsley. The Merriam-Webster dictionaryfor 2009 says that holly is of thefamily aquifoliaceae. These treesand shrubs have spiny-marginedevergreen leaves with usually redberries (sometimes white). Holly isoften used for Christmas decora-tions. Merry Christmas everyone! I amnot planning to write stacks ofChristmas cards. Today I receivedthe first Christmas letter from oldfriends, Rose and Loren Kiel, backhome. Their address is 20840 E.Grindstone Rd., Quinn, SD 57775.

A Pennington County resident inthe 90-99 age group is SouthDakota’s first flu death of the sea-son. The individual had influenza Band was hospitalized. To date,South Dakota has reported 156 lab-oratory confirmed cases of flu and28 flu related hospitalizations. “This unfortunate death is a re-minder that flu can be a very seri-ous illness, particularly for elderlyindividuals,” said Dr. Lon

Kightlinger, state epidemiologistfor the South Dakota Departmentof Health. “Annual vaccination isthe single best way to protect your-self and your family from the flu.” Annual flu vaccination is recom-mended for everyone, but peopleover 50 are one of the groups athighest risk for complications whoshould be sure to be vaccinated.Also at higher risk are pregnantwomen and people with chronicmedical conditions. Healthcareworkers and household contacts ofhigh risk populations, especiallythose with young infants in thehousehold, should also be vacci-nated. Children are another highrisk group, accounting for signifi-cant cases and hospitalizationseach year and helping spread flu inthe community. The department of-fers free flu vaccine for kids fromsix months to 18 years. In addition to vaccination, to pre-vent the spread of the flu: washyour hands often with soap andwater or use alcohol-based handgel, cover your mouth when youcough or sneeze, do not touch youreyes, nose or mouth, and stay homeif you're sick.

The South Dakota Departmentof Agriculture and South DakotaFarm Service Agency have distrib-uted about 200 tons of donatedConservation Reserve Program(CRP) hay to state livestock pro-ducers whose pastures were ad-versely affected by this year’s wild-fires. “We thank all those who were in-volved and hope to use this systemagain in the future,” said WaltBones, state secretary of agricul-ture. The FFA, producers across thestate and SDDA staff helped dis-tribute the donated hay to droughtimpacted farmers and rancherswho applied by the Septemberdeadline or had contacted SDDA. The hay was to be destroyed perUSDA-FSA CRP contracts, but wasdonated to SDDA for distributionto producers impacted by thisyear’s drought. Producers who par-ticipate in the CRP program areusually asked to destroy hay that isbaled because they are compen-sated monetarily for managingthose acres. “With this summer’s extremedrought conditions, hay is scarce,”Bones said. “Donation of this CRPhay will hopefully lighten the bur-den on a few of the livestock pro-ducers here in South Dakota.”

South Dakota is known for hav-ing great saddle bronc riders, anda young one is making a name forhimself in the rodeo arena. Cole Elshere, Faith, won the fifthround of the Wrangler National Fi-nals Rodeo in the Thomas andMack Arena on Monday night, De-cember 10, with an 83-point effortaboard the Burch Rodeo horsenamed Lunatic Fringe. Out of the15-horse field, that was the one hewanted and coincidentally, the onethat was randomly drawn for himto ride. “I wanted that horse because Iknew I could ride him and he fit mystyle,” Elshere said. “My plan thewhole time was to just keepspurring him and seeing what hap-pened in the end.” What happened earned the 24-year-old $18,257, bringing hisearnings here so far to $28,848.The former Gillette College rodeostandout used his National Inter-collegiate Rodeo Association expe-rience to prepare him for the nextlevel of competition. “I learned a lot through collegerodeo,” he said. “I competed againstsome great guys on good horsesand it definitely helped me get tothis level.”

e-mail: [email protected] News Hello, winter! Oh, boy did itturn cold. We woke up to seven de-gree temperatures Sunday morn-ing. And with the wind blowing theway it was, it made for a very coldwind chill factor. Road conditionswere not the best in some places.And some places got a good amountof snow. Late school starts andsome school cancellations weregoing across the bottom of the TVscreen Sunday evening and thisMonday morning. When we wokeup to -10 degrees, but the windwasn’t blowing, so that helps. Oldman winter is letting us know ithasn’t lost its touch. It is winterand we do live in South Dakota. It’sa good time to stay indoors, with agood book, don’t you think? I’ve been to the book store inPierre enough times that theyknow the kinds of books I tend tolike. They recommended a book,“Prayers for Sale” by Sandra Dal-las. What a good book! And, no,they did not sell prayers, butprayers were offered for folks whoneeded prayer. It was a book witha human interest story, need I saymore? I enjoyed it so much, Ichecked out two more of her booksat the Philip library. And thoughthe Midland library didn’t havethose particular books, it does haveother books by authors I like. I doenjoy reading, and thanks to theladies at the Pierre book store, myhorizons have been broadened tobooks by authors, I had not heardof before. Books do take you on ajourney. A journey with all kinds ofdifferent emotions, tears andlaughter, sadness and joy, allmixed into heart-warming stories.I’ll take book reading over sitting infront of the television any day. Jenna Finn, Cass and Cole wereat the Creighton Hall north of Wallrecently. Jenna’s sister, MeganHoffman and her family live in theCreighton area and for the last fouror five years Megan has had a com-munity cookie exchange event inthat hall. She has it before Christ-mas and folks come with all differ-ent kinds of cookies for exchange.It is a time of visiting, enjoyingtasty cookies, and taking a varietyhome for later. What a nice way ofgetting together, sharing favoritecookies, and a fun time of visiting.Knowing of Karel (Eisenbraun)Reiman having grown up in theCreighton area, Jenna said therewere Eisenbrauns there. Jennaand her boys visit the Midland li-brary each week checking outbooks and DVDs. Karel and Jennashare stories of the Creighton areanow that Jenna’s sister is a part ofthat community. I always find it in-teresting how the ties and connec-tions lead to a story. Reminder: Jenna mentioned theCampbell soup labels once again,reminding folks to save those labelsbring them to the Midland Schoolor give her a call. They are used topurchase educational items for stu-dents. It takes a lot of labels to getenough to purchase those items. Joy Jones went with her daugh-ter, Debbie Trapp and her son,Wyatt, to Rapid City Friday. Wyatthad an appointment with his ortho-dontist. A highlight of the trip wasstopping in to see Cassidy Trapp atthe School of Mines where she is inher first year of college. They got tosee her dorm room which was dec-orated for Christmas and to meether roommates. Those chance vis-its mean a lot to those college stu-dents and to mom and grandma,too. Monday and Tuesday, Clint andPrerry Saucerman were in RapidCity. Have you noticed howThanksgiving is over and Christ-mas is here? It does seem to go thatquickly. They visited their son, Teland Ellie Saucerman and familywhile in Rapid. Wednesday, Prerrydrove Wilma Saucerman to Pierre.They had lunch with Wilma’sdaughter, Sheri Wiechman, andstopped in the see Wilma’s grand-daughter, Cori Carroll, at work, be-fore coming home. Judy Daly and Barb Jonesheaded for Rapid City Saturday,

meeting up with Marcia Jackson,Hot Springs and Pat Snook, whohas a house she stays at in RapidCity. When not staying in Rapid,Pat is at her home on the farmnorth of Midland. Also a part of thegroup is Jen Jones’ mom, Diane Ja-cobsen and Marcia’s friend, Karen,of Custer. The ladies enjoyed see-ing the play, “Beauty and theBeast,” at the Civic Center The-atre, reporting it was very good.After the play everyone had suppertogether before heading for home. I visited by phone with RondaSchofield, who was in Sioux Fallswith her mom Lois Hall. Lois is apatient at Avera McKennan Hospi-tal where she has been for twoweeks this coming Wednesday.Ronda reports her mom is improv-ing and getting better. Ronda, hersister, Charlotte, and her brother,Rick, have been spending time withtheir mother, Lois. Anyone wishingto send Lois a card the address is:Lois Hall, Avera McKennan Hospi-tal; P.O. Box 5045; Sioux Falls, SD57117-5045. Lois is one of thosepeople with such interesting storiesto tell. Karel Reiman and I alwaysenjoy those times Lois visits theMidland Library getting books totake home. Wishing you God’shealing Lois! Congratulations to Kevin andEmily Petoske, Sioux Falls, on thebirth of their son, Samuel JohnPetoske, born November 28, 2012,weighing 8 lbs. 13 oz. Samuel joinsa sister, Reese, who is 3-1/2 yearsold. Grandparents from this areaare Jim and Barb Petoske, Mid-land, and great-grandparents, Ar-line Petoske, Silverleaf in Philip,and Bob and Ardis McCormick,Kadoka. Sophie Foley had a week of ra-diation treatments in Rapid Citylast week. She reports it went welland she is feeling good. She hadtwo treatments a day and this wasto take care of the cancer. We wishyou continued good health, Sophie. I had a good visit by phone onSunday evening with Doris Shee-ley, Colorado City, Colo. They hadgotten a lot of snow, six to eightinches and it was still comingdown. Doris said it was a dry snow.Hard to believe they moved fromMidland to Colorado City 11 yearsago. Doris said to tell everyone inMidland, “hello.” Bob and Doris’Christmas greetings had such agood picture of them and their fam-ily. Bob and Doris celebrated theirGolden Wedding anniversary thisyear and their kids and familiesprovided for and accompaniedthem on an Alaskan Cruise forseven days. The family picture wastaken on that cruise. Tim lives inCalifornia; Darla lives in Texas;Laura, her husband Randy andtheir two daughters and Keith,Patty and Anna Sheeley all live inColorado Springs, Colo. Bob’s sis-ter, Bev Johnson and her late hus-band, Luther, lived in Denver,Colo., for many years. This yearBev made the decision to sell thefive bed-room home she and Lutherhad lived in for many years andpurchased a two-bedroom condo inthe southeast corner of the DenverMetro area-Highlands Ranch. Boband Doris were invited to Bev’shome this past weekend for home-made lefse, but with all that snowthey’d gotten, called to say theycouldn’t make it. Lefse making hasbeen an annual tradition for Bevand her family before the Christ-mas holidays. I gave Bev a call andasked if I could come for somelefse? Laughing, Bev told me sure,and asked how I knew about it. Itold her I have my ways, and thentold her I had been talking withDoris. Bev’s immediate familyhelps in the making of lefse. Bevsaid folks she’d invited broughthomemade soup and so they hadsoup and lefse for supper. Soundedgood to me on a cold winters night;and what a neat tradition! Karel Reiman’s family is Ger-man and a tradition in their homewas a German delicacy calledkuchen on Christmas Eve. Karelhas continued this tradition. Her

kids all like it and she shares somewith her neighbors. I enjoy hearingof those traditions. I rememberChristmas Eve at my aunt anduncle, Roy and Clara Roseth’s,there was the Norwegian food oflutefisk and lefse each ChristmasEve. Good memories! Had a nice family picture of for-mer Midland residents, Ivan andMiriam Schilling and their grownkids Camilla, Craig and Carmelitaall of Gillette, Wyo. They reportthey are doing well and send greet-ings. The following is a report fromMaxine Jones: Friends Wayne and Lucille Car-lin stopped for coffee with Shortyand Maxine Jones one morningwhile on their way from home inOhio to spend time with one oftheir sons and family in Montana.The men served on a board at Na-tional Cattlemen’s Beef Associationa few years ago. Lots of catching upto do since visiting while inNashville last winter. Lucille hasaccomplished a long time dream ofparticipating in a National RifleAssociation shooting event forwomen at their center in Coloradowhere the ladies work with manytypes of guns, from assembly/clean-ing to target shooting contests.Sounds like she would like to do itagain sometime! Visitors and family have en-joyed seeing the many deer takingadvantage of the slightly greenergrass in Shorty and Maxine's yardrecently. Often there are up to 20head at a time. Fawns are verycute and fuzzy now. One day therewere five bucks in the herd, includ-ing a very young one which musthave been injured, causing oneantler to have a broken tip with therest of it quite bent compared withthe 'normal' antlers. Seeing themas individuals, even to one doe rec-ognizable due to a split ear, and afawn obviously younger than allthe others is interesting. They evensleep in the yard sometimes. Theywon't be so much fun when theycome if they are here in the springwhen we hope plants will be grow-ing! Shorty and Maxine attended anag banquet in Rapid City lastweek, spending the night with Rossand Melanie Jones and girls beforereturning home in time to getready to attend the bank party inPhilip Friday night. Frank Calhoon and two friendsdrove to Midland from homes inMissouri and Ilinois for a littlepheasant hunting at Calhoons'.They visited Shorty and MaxineSunday morning, planning to re-turn home Monday morning. Theywere a little surprised at how coldit was, after noting our niceweather all fall on TV. Frank is acollege professor and a chiroprac-tor, one friend is a farmer, and oneworks for ADM. They enjoyedwatching Barry, Bryer andMatthew feeding cattle and otherchores. The guests decided, afterasking Shorty a few questionsabout the work they were watch-ing, which he could not answer,that he "appears to be in seniormanagement". Other visitors havebeen surprised that work goes onwith no one appearing to "give or-ders", especially when branding,with everyone going about their

jobs quickly and even having funwithout slowing the work down.Fortunately, that group of hunterswas more interested in seeing thearea and family than in the hunt-ing, and they were amazed at theturkeys and deer in Midland, aswell as pleased with the hot min-eral baths. *** I’m not finding many people athome. Though the temperaturewas -10 this Monday morning, itgot up to 32 degrees by noon, soguess folks are taking advantage ofthe nicer weather. And yes, we doneed moisture. But, when it snowsmy preference is to be at home,

watching that snow from my win-dow. It is basketball season, calledour daughter, Charlene, at Bis-marck, N.D., checking on theweather. She said they didn’t getthe snow that was predicted. Shehad been working at the basketballgames in Bismarck. She runs theclock and has been doing this sinceher first year of teaching at Ender-lin, N.D., which was 27 years ago.Time does move on, it waits for noone. This Tuesday morning I re-ceived a phone call that Andy Ole-sen was killed in a helicopter acci-dent late Monday evening. Folks inthe Midland area were saddened to

learn of Andy’s death. His folks,Anker and Sena (Kuhlman) Ole-sen, had a farm north of Midlandwhere Andy and his three siblingsspent their growing up years, allgraduating from Midland HighSchool. Andy graduated with theclass of 1965. Sena taught schoolfor many years. Andy and his wife,Pat, lived in the Chicago area andtheir son and daughter are grownadults. Life’s journey can change ina matter of minutes and our livesare never quite the same. We wishto express our sincere sympathiesto the family.

Mike Rausch called to tell methat he and Gretchen are the proudgrandparents of a new baby boynamed Lincoln John, born Decem-ber 6th, weighing in at 8 lbs., 7 oz.and 20-1/2 inches long. He joinstwo brothers, Kaylan and Tyson.His parents are Annie Jo andBeau. Mike went to the Shearer’s bullsale where a large crowd attendedand the bulls sold good. Mike en-joyed visiting with old neighborsand friends during the day. I went to Rapid with Kay Ainslieon Wednesday to get a few thingsthat are not available in Philip andas I am not a shopper, it’s not oneof my favorite things to do, I wasable to get everything on my list.Kay did some of the shopping forme as we could come home soonerthat way. Loras Riggins went withus and was nice to see and visitwith her also, as I have not seenher since she moved to Kadokafrom Wall, where she lived nearShawn and Lynn McKay. (Lynn isher daughter.) I used to see herquite often when Marvin andShaun played in the band together. Christa Fitch stopped in Sundayfor a brief visit. She was looking fora dress she needs for the Milesvilleplay. Sounds like it will be a funplay to go to. The girls have somethings stored in my upstairs, sothey come often to find things theyneed and can usually find it. Herfamily stayed at Marvin’s becauseit was so cold and she didn’t bringthem here with her; besides, Mar-vin and Colby were practicing theirmusic for the Christmas program. This is the month for our lastevent of the year for our club andwe will end the year with our an-nual Christmas club dinner at thesenior center when we invite hus-bands or a friend for dinner. We ex-change white elephant gifts, whichwe draw by a number and it doesget very interesting. Many goodlaughs are gained from it. The menusually play cards and the ladiesmake out their program for thecoming year. A club member usu-ally has some games to play and weend up having a great time just en-joying the day. Everyone has been moving hayhome to the shelters and are sothankful to have hay to move fromsome new and some leftover hay.Marvin has been feeding cake anda few hay bales to supplement the

cane fields that came up spottedthis year, but does make somegrazing. They eat the cake and hayand then go out and pick and cleanthe cane fields. Has it ever been cold! Somebelow zero temperatures and wereceived about three inches of wetsnow that melted and stayed on theground, then the cold front camethrough and gave us another threeinches. A strong wind blew itaround into drifts and the guys hadto chop ice in the tanks for a fewdays. We are warm for a few days,then cold for a few. The weatherforecast has varied a lot the lastfew weeks. But we are glad for anymoisture we can get and will needa lot more before spring or we allwill be in trouble. Kieth and Deb Smith, Colby,Jess and Logan, Don and DonnaOlivier all attended LincolnSmith’s graduation from NorthernState University in Aberdeen. Lin-coln received many awards and thegroup enjoyed many meals in hishonor. Lincoln was one of threewho graduated in Honorous, thehighest the institution offers, aswell as the summa cum laude, thehighest grade point average. Fri-day night they went to a businessreception, Saturday morning to anhonors breakfast, then after grad-uation they attended a receptionfor Lincoln, Jordan Smith and an-other friend. Cassidy was also ableto make it from Sioux Falls, butwas snowed in for an extra day due

to the Interstate being closed. Shereturned home on Monday. The Fitch boys went snowmobil-ing this week as they received moresnow in the Milesville area than wedid. They had a blast, so was told,and you can’t keep them containedin the house when it’s nice – theyride their bikes, go hunting whenthey can, and they enjoy all sports.But they have to do their chores be-fore they can go have fun. The olderones are all so good helping theirmom with the younger ones. It al-ways amazes me when we’re upthere for a meal and Christa saysthe meal is ready – everyone hastheir job in getting the table readyand in short time everything is onthe table. Sorry the news is short, but dueto weather and several entertainingthe flu, just not much to writeabout. Yes, and to finish the story ofElain David, she is related by wayof the Beckwith families on hermother’s side, to Markweds and theStoner families who live in thisarea. She lives in Pierre now. Andyes, Donna King, it was Elain youtalked to that day in Pierre. If I had my child to raise all overagain, I’d build self esteem first,and the house later. I’d finger paintmore, and point the finger less. Iwould do less correcting and moreconnecting. I’d take my eyes off mywatch and watch with my eyes. I’dtake more hikes and fly more kites.I’d stop playing serious and seri-ously play. I would run throughmore fields and gaze at more stars.I’d do more hugging and less tug-ging. –Diane Loomans

Street Improvement Projects:Council reviewed a proposal for a replatof N. Wood Ave., bisecting Tracts I and J,located in 13-1-20, Philip Acreage,Haakon County, City of Philip, SD. Theproposed replat has been preliminarilypresented and prepared by SPN & Assoc.following a survey of the actual street lo-cation compared to the originally deededdescription of land that was dedicated asa public right-of-way by Bol-Mor Lanes. Itwas noted that the street was never for-mally platted, hence its location is basedsolely on the legal description containedwith the deed dedicating it as a publicright of way. Unfortunately, this deed in-versely describes the property in ques-tion. In order to correct the inconsistencyof the actual street location with that ofwhere it is legally described, it was rec-ommended, following a formal survey toreplat the street.

Mayor Vetter reported that this also af-fects the current property owners of TractI and J, Scotchman Industries; and, theyhave graciously given the City their ap-proval for the replat.

Following review, motion was made byArthur, seconded by Matt to approve thereplat of N. Wood Ave. bisecting Tracts Iand J, located in 13-1-20, Philip Acreage,Haakon County, City of Philip, SD. Motioncarried with all members voting aye.

FO Van Lint noted that the property taxesare paid to date and Officer Butler ad-vised that the Police Dept. has no prob-lems to note regarding the above li-censes.

Following discussion, and with no one ap-pearing for or against the requested li-cense renewals, motion was made byMatt, seconded by Arthur to approve theabove Liquor License renewals for 2013contingent upon all appropriate fees andapplications being submitted. Motion car-ried with all members voting aye.

FO Van Lint reviewed correspondencefrom Pat Freeman, Haakon County Audi-tor, regarding the expenses associatedwith the City’s bond election held in con-junction with the primary election in June.The City had agreed to reimburse theCounty for the City’s portion of the elec-tion expenses, but according to Freeman,the County will cover all of the expensesas no additional expenses were incurredin the process of including the City’s bondquestion on ballot in conjunction with theprimary election. For example, ballotsand election worker expenses wouldhave been the same with or without theCity combining their election with the

County.

Mayor, Council and those in attendanceexpressed their appreciation to theCounty for all their assistance and gen-erosity with the City’s bond election.

At 7:20 p.m., as previously advertised, aPublic Hearing was held on the applica-tion of Mike and Debbie Miller for a vari-ance to the 1997 Uniform Fire Code asadopted, and more specifically Article 82Liquefied Petroleum Gases, Section8204.3 Container Location Require-ments.

Application has been made for a five andone-half feet (5½’) variance to the publicway and property line distance require-ments of ten feet (10’) on the north sideof the N50’ of the E150’ of Lot 01, Block03, Russell’s Addition, City of Philip,Haakon Co., South Dakota, for the place-ment of a 250 gallon propane tank. It wasnoted that the propane tank’s “point oftransfer” will be located ten feet (10’)north of the house; four and one-half feet(4½’) from the inner edge of the sidewalk;and, fourteen feet (14’) from the streetcurb.

Council Member Arthur reported that theState Fire Marshall’s office has not voicedany concerns regarding this variance re-quest.

With no further comments, motion wasmade by Gartner, seconded by Arthur toapprove Mike and Debbie Miller’s vari-ance request as outlined above. Motioncarried.

Motion was then made by Arthur, sec-onded by Harry to approve Mike andDebbie Miller’s building permit for theplacement of a 250 gal. propane tank aspresented. Motion carried.

Departmental Reports:The monthly Police Dept. report was pre-sented and reviewed with Officer Butler.

The quarterly Rubble Site report was re-viewed.

Motion was made by Harry, seconded byGartner to approve the draft permit re-newal for the Restricted Use Site opera-tions for fiscal years 2013-2018 as pre-sented by the SD Dept. of Environmentand Natural Resources (DENR). It wasreported that the only change to the pre-vious permit was an addition, granting avariance to recognize the location of anoccupied dwelling within one-thousandfeet of the site. Motion carried.

The monthly Street Dept. report was re-viewed.

Street Committee Chairman Gartner up-dated the Council on the purchase of asurplus tandem axle truck and plow fromthe State that was approved during theNov. 3rd meeting. He noted that accord-ing to PWD Reckling, the truck will be of-fered to other State entities prior to itbeing offered to the City. This could takean additional six months before the truckis offered for sale to the City.

FO Van Lint noted the City appropriatedfor the truck purchase in 2012. Since thepurchase will not take place this year norwas it included in the 2013 budget, a sup-plement from the Street Dept. reserve ac-count will be required in order to cover theexpense in 2013.

The quarterly Water Dept. report was pre-sented and reviewed with GM Pearson,noting that the November water loss was6.16%.

Mayor Vetter reported that he was re-cently contacted by Roger O’Connell re-garding the Softball Association’s waterbill. O’Connell voiced concern for theirwater usage above their allotted 400,000gals. of free water, noting that they werenot aware that they had exceeded theirallotment.

It was noted that in the past, the freewater users were contacted by the Cityprior to reaching their allotted amount.This allowed them to maintain more con-trol over their usage and finances.

GM Pearson stated that this policy wasnot shared with him nor is he alwaysaware of who to contact with the variousparks that receive free water. He willmake note to ensure that they are con-tacted in the future prior to reaching theirallotment of free water. He also noted thatthe Rodeo Arena Association’s water isalso provided through the Softball Asso-ciation’s meter and would recommendthat they work out an agreement withthem for the overage charges.

Pearson also advised the Council thatfive of the oldest water meters, somebeing over ten years old, were tested witha result of 98 to 99% accuracy. Withthese results, he does not foresee theneed to replace any of the water metersin the near future. He also expressed ap-preciation to the City of Rapid City fortesting the meters at no charge.

An update on the Utility Billing softwarewas reviewed. It was noted that softwarecompany, USTI, is still working on theconversion and have recently comeacross a glitch with the sales tax and re-connect/disconnect fee applications.They have reviewed different options tocorrect this and will be providing a quoteto make the needed repairs in order forthe conversion to be successful.

Council Member Matt questioned if thecontract amount for the conversion of theRVS database to USTI would include thecorrection to the sales tax and recon-nect/disconnect fee applications? FO VanLint confirmed that she is still awaiting aquote from USTI and would look into thisfurther.

No action was taken.

At 7:30 p.m., Bobby Sloat and SandraO’Connor with the Haakon Co. HistoricalSociety addressed the Council.

Mrs. Sloat informed the Council that theHistorical Society owns a piece of prop-erty north of the Senechal Apartmentsbuilding that they would like to developinto a park with the assistance of the Gar-

den Club. It has sufficient trees that wouldoffer a great setting for a park area for theSenechal residents and others in thedowntown area. They have sufficientfunds to establish the park area, but areconcerned about the liability if someonewere to get injured while on the property.She noted that they would appreciate theCity’s assistance, by providing the liabilityinsurance for their park.

It was noted that according to the City’sinsurance agent, the City would have toown the park in order for the property tobe covered under the City’s general liabil-ity insurance. The example of the HaakonCo. Young Women (HCYW) Kiddie Parkwas given as it is owned by the City, butthe maintenance of the park is leasedback to HCYW. The City in turn, providesthe liability insurance and garbage serv-ices.

Mrs. Sloat and Mrs. O’Connor were ques-tioned if they were willing to donate theproperty to the City in order for it to becovered under the City’s insurance? Mrs.O’Connor confirmed that they would do-nate the property contingent upon theCity leasing back the maintenance tothem.

Following discussion, motion was madeby Gartner, seconded by Henrie to ap-prove the Haakon Co. Historical Society’srequest to accept their property as a do-nation to the City and in turn the Citywould provide the liability insurance cov-erage to the park. The City will then de-velop a formal agreement with their or-ganization to lease the maintenance ofthe park back to them. Motion carried.

It was then questioned who would be re-sponsible for the costs associated withpreparing the deed to transfer the prop-erty. City Attorney Tollefson offered herservices to compile to the legal docu-ments free of charge.

Mayor, Council and those in attendancethanked Ms. Tollefson.

Dakota Mill & Grain (DMG) ExpansionUpdate:Mayor Vetter reported that per the Cityand community’s request, DMG has con-tacted both the Army Corps of Engineersand Canadian Pacific (CP) regarding thequestion posed to them regarding dis-placement of the fill dirt around the trestlebridge in order to assist in widening theholding basin in an effort to assist with re-ducing the flooding risks. This displaceddirt would be utilized in constructing theirrail siding. It was noted that approval hasbeen given to DMG as a “within reason”stipulation and Vetter asked if DMG wouldexplain that statement.

In addition, DMG’s tabled building andflood plain development permits andplans for phase II, rail siding construction,were reviewed in conjunction with the dis-cussion.

Bart Banks, DMG Attorney, reported thattheir engineer, Andrew Kangas with CivilDesign Engineering, has been in contactwith both CP and the Army Corp. The CPhas given the “within reason” stipulationto ensure that the integrity of the trestlebridge is not affected during the displace-ment of the dirt. They have also gra-ciously offered to provide on-site person-nel to supervise during the work.

Council Member Arthur questioned aboutDMG working in the area beyond that ofCP’s, displacing some of the dirt on pri-vate property to assist with the drainage.Mr. Banks advised that while the propertyline is usually in the middle of the riverchannel, the Army Corp still has authorityover that area. In turn, changing the riverchannel is under the Army Corps of Engi-neers control, not the property owners.

Jay Baxter, property owner, addressedthe room as the spokesperson for theneighborhood group from Philip Ave. andBridge St. in attendance. He noted that aneighborhood meeting was held at hishome last evening and they have devel-oped a list of questions that would like tobe considered as well other information.He presented the questions, photos, andflood management information to theCouncil. (A copy of this information is onfile in the Finance Office.)

He stressed that the group would like tosee this project completed, but desiresmore concrete information before the per-mits and plans are approved. Their mainquestion is that of what and if the rail sid-ing will “increase the risk of flooding?”The idea of an additional culvert was dis-cussed in the past, but they are unsure ifthat is the solution. In turn, they would likethe City to consider allowing them to con-tact a neutral third party engineer to re-view the data and provide a written report.

It was noted that the City hired their engi-neer, Harlan Quenzer with SPN & Assoc.,to review the project and provide an opin-ion as to the effect the rail siding wouldhave on the flood plain. A written reportwas not requested by the City, but in Mr.Quenzer’s verbal report, he confirmedthat it would not have an adverse effecton the flood plain.

Mr. Baxter then reviewed the Army Corpsof Engineer’s Flood Plain ManagementService Program. He noted that this pro-gram provides education about flood haz-ards and identifies areas to reduce flood-ing. This service is offered free of chargeand they have made an initial contact withthem to determine if they would be avail-able to determine the effects that the railsiding project may have on the flooding.They are still waiting to hear back fromthis office.

Mayor Vetter went on to mention thequestions that Mr. Baxter provided to theCouncil, pointing out their statements re-garding how “the development will alterthe drainage by reducing land depth, notcorrecting the problems that were createdby removing a portion of the trestlebridge, and the impact it could have onthe school’s treatment ponds.”

Baxter confirmed that the questions werecompiled from their neighborhood meet-ing as a means to address all of their con-

cerns. Again, they are still hesitant ontrusting that the project will not have un-favorable flooding effects on the commu-nity and the School’s barium treatmentponds/facility.

Vetter went on review DMG’s plans tomaintain the drainage, explaining that thenew rail siding will be one foot lower in el-evation than that of the main rail line. Inaddition, they will be maintaining thedrainage between the rail lines. Hestressed that he is not an engineer andtherefore, is not familiar with all the dy-namics of the project.

Neal Eisenbraun expressed his strongopinion that the Mayor and Councilshould be even more thoroughly edu-cated on the issues surrounding this mat-ter and regarding the project than eventhe engineers, and they should not be re-lying solely on the engineers when actingon DMG’s permits.

It was noted that professional engineers’are consulted in order to provide the Citywith the necessary information and ad-vise the Council in order that the Councilcan then make the best educated deci-sion it can with best available profes-sional advice and information. Engineershave the specialized training, not theMayor and Council. That is why the Citycontracts with them for their services.

Council Member Gartner mentioned thatsince the group does not appear to becomfortable with the City’s and DMG’sengineers’ opinions, does the ArmyCorp’s completed hydraulic study that theFederal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) approved provide leverage?

Mr. Eisenbraun stated that he is notaware of nor has he seen the hydraulicstudy and questioned if it addressed thetreatment ponds. He also mentioned thathe would still prefer that FEMA be con-tacted since they specialize in flooding.

Council Member Matt stated that in hisexperience with FEMA, it is not an easytask to obtain information from them. Inaddition, he would predict that consultingwith an additional third party engineer –they, too, would utilize the information al-ready gathered from the engineers whoare already involved with the project.

It was noted that the treatment ponds arenot addressed in the study as it concen-trates on the drainage through the trestlebridge. It confirms that the trestle bridgeis of sufficient size to meet the 100-yearflood elevation requirements, providing adrainage area of 1,800 square feet.

It was noted that since FEMA has not pro-vided elevations for the City’s flood plainmap, the City is obligated to use the bestavailable data when determining the ele-vations and according to the best avail-able data, the rail siding meets the 100-year flood elevations.

Mr. Kangas then went on to stress thatDMG’s project will not change the riverchannel or increase the flooding risk.They will be displacing approximately2,000 yards of material around the trestlebridge and utilizing it in constructing therail siding. He noted that the City streetswill not be affected and drainage will bemaintained as is.

Council Member Arthur questioned if theyare able to predict how fast the water willflow between the ponds and rail sidingduring a flood event? Mr. Kangas con-firmed that he does not have the data tocalculate the flow, but is confident that thedrainage will not be restricted. They willbe installing erosion control on the siding,grading the area around the siding, andcleaning out the drainage ditch. He alsonoted that water will not pool in the areaaround the siding nor between the rail sid-ing and main line.

Vetter reminded everyone that without theproject, there will not be any improve-ments to drainage in the area. He thennoted that DMG has provided the re-quested information requested by the Cityand community over the past few monthsand in addition, the City’s engineer andCP’s engineer have provided supportingdocumentation regarding the plans notbeing a detriment to the area. He thenquestioned the audience as what elseneeds to be done in order to avoid stallingon the project any further, suggesting an-other thirty days.

Mr. Banks confirmed that DMG would likethe City to act on their rail siding permits,but is not opposed to waiting an additionalthirty days. His only worry is if all of thecommunity's concerns will be addressedduring this time in order to avoid any fur-ther delay as the longer it is put off, themore it costs DMG. With that, he recom-mended that the stability of the pondsalso be addressed during this time frameso that the project can move forward.

Vonda Hamill questioned if the Army Corphas been contacted regarding the pondsas they were the entity who originally con-structed them. In addition, they have con-tinually monitored them over the yearsand have been in contact with the schoolas they are in need of repairs. She rec-ommended that they be contacted asthey are familiar with their condition.

Vetter then questioned Mr. Baxter, if awritten document regarding the impactthat the project would have on the flood-ing would be sufficient to meet thisgroup's needs, i.e. a written report fromthe City’s engineers. Mr. Baxter statedthat he is insistent upon receiving an un-biased report, from a third party engineerthat is not familiar with our community orthe project.

Don Burns then addressed the audience,noting that the basic comment he hasbeen hearing is regarding how the projectwill affect the water flow and flooding. Headvised that his brother in Fargo, NorthDakota, deals with flooding on an annualbasis and even though it is a common oc-currence, the City has not built a berm.He stressed that this area of communityis no different as it is located in a floodzone area. He then questioned how muchdamage did the properties in this areaincur during the 2008 flood.

Mike Seager advised that it was time andlabor intensive, while Rod Knutson statedthat a house on Bridge St. was destroyed.

Mr. Burns then mentioned if the citizensare concerned about the liability of theponds flooding being the school district'sor the City’s. In his opinion, it would havemore impact downstream than locally. Healso stressed that the City already hiredan engineer to review the project and ifanother one is hired, it is only going tocost more money to review the area andmore than likely only utilize the other en-gineers’ information.

Vetter inquired about the amount of addi-tional time the community desires to gainmore information on the project. He re-ported that the City has already spent ap-proximately $4,900 on engineering and ifhiring another engineer is preferred, itwould be at their expense.

Mr. Seager requested the Council allowthem at least another month before theyact upon DMG’s permits for the rail siding.

Elke Baxter further questioned the hy-draulic study and why it was not providedto the community. FO Van Lint stated thatthe report is available in the Finance Of-fice. She stressed that all of the informa-tion regarding this project is a publicrecord and is available to the public for re-view during office hours.

Jay Baxter then confirmed that he did re-ceive a copy of the study from the Fi-nance Office earlier today and is verygrateful for the assistance that has beenprovided by the office. He is also appre-ciative of the Mayor and Council for all ofthe time and energy that they have spentreviewing the project and the concerns ofthe community. Unfortunately though, heis still uncomfortable with the project pro-ceeding and is unsure if an additionalthirty days will be sufficient in contactingthe Army Corp to review the flooding con-cerns and reviewing the hydraulic studyin more detail. He stressed that he is alsonot an engineer and wants concrete infor-mation, ensuring that the flooding risk forhis property and his neighbors will not in-crease.

Don Burns made further comment that ifthe City should approve DMG’s permits,it does not prohibit the neighborhoodgroup from hiring an engineer or lawyer.

Vetter then requested the Council’s posi-tion on acting on DMG’s permits, are theyin favor of granting the community mem-bers an additional thirty days to gathermore information?

Council Member Larson stated that theengineers have already concluded thatthe project will not affect the flooding andquestioned what would be gained by wait-ing until the January meeting and whatwill happen at that time.

Rod Knutson questioned if they havelooked further into installing an additionalculvert. Mr. Banks noted that they hiredtheir engineers to review this possibilityand it was found that displacing dirtaround the trestle will provide more im-provements to the area than a 10’ by 10’box culvert that is estimated to cost

$100,000. In addition, it was noted thatthe culvert may have adverse effects,causing flood waters to back up.

Council Member Henrie stated that she isnot opposed to allowing an additionalthirty days, suggesting that they have aplan in place as it may not be a sufficienttime period to have a report from theArmy Corps or another engineer.

Council Member Matt stressed that theproject area is in the flood zone and flood-ing is going to occur. He then stated thathe does not want to stall the project anyfurther, but would be willing to grant thegroup an additional thirty days.

It was questioned what informationshould the group provide to the Councilby the thirty day deadline and if a plan ofaction would be sufficient or do they needto have all of the information that theywant the Council to consider at that time?

Mayor Vetter stressed that DMG hasbeen patient with the City regarding theirpermits and the community’s requests.He would recommend the Council act ontheir rail siding permits during the Jan. 7,2013, Council meeting and recommendthat the group provide any additional in-formation that they would to the Councilto consider during this time.

Following a lengthy discussion, motionwas made by Gartner, seconded byArthur to table action on DMG’s buildingand flood development permit for phaseII, rail siding construction until the Jan. 7,2013, Council meeting. Motion carriedwith all members voting aye.

Mayor and Council thanked those in at-tendance for attending and a majority ofthe audience left at this time.

Council Member Larson then apprisedthe Council of a recent meeting with rep-resentatives from the National ParksService (NPS) regarding the develop-ment of a community trail plan. Theirservices are to develop a broad spectrumplan free of charge. It will not include anyengineering, but the plan can be utilizedin applying for various grant opportunitiesfor trails.

She mentioned that they reviewed thecommunity and discussed various areasthat would be ideal for a trail, stating thatthe plan will more than likely be brokendown into phases. The areas consideredranged from the school to the footballfield; a safe route to the swimming pooland park; and, from town to Lake Wag-goner to name a few. The SD Hwy73/Larimer Ave. sidewalk project was alsodiscussed and they would also like to re-view those plans in order to incorporate itinto the overall plan.

In an effort to proceed with the plan, anadditional community meeting with therepresentatives is being planned forsometime during the week of Jan. 21,2013. Since this will be a community proj-ect, not solely the City’s, other communitygroups have been contacted in order togain their input.

No action was taken.

Council Member Gartner informed theCouncil that the Philip Volunteer FireDept. has been awarded a $5,000 grantfrom the Independent Insurance Agentsof South Dakota Service Corp. for thepurchase of new pagers. He expressedhis sincere appreciation to DFO Smith forher assistance in submitting the grant ap-plication.

Public Comments:City Attorney Tollefson thanked the Mayorand Council for their service and ex-pressed her appreciation for their profes-sionalism.

Vonda Hamill also thanked the Mayor andCouncil, noting that as a School BoardMember, she is aware that tough discus-sions and decisions are part of the job aselected officials.

In Other Business:Residents are advised to contact the CityOffice to dispose of real Christmas Trees.

The City offices will be closed on Dec. 24-25, 2012, and Jan. 1, 2013, in obser-vance of the legal holidays.

Do you ever wonder about youreyes? With all the electronic gadg-ets, small print (other than legalcontracts), email, and various otherdevices, does that contribute to eyeproblems? So many folks have mac-ular degeneration and that is asilent thief. Is it from all the yearsof TV? The National Finals Rodeo com-petition in Las Vegas is going onand we always cheer for the SouthDakota boys and gals. Monday was a nice day and Billgot ambitious and polished the1962 Thunderbird before going toPhilip for cards. He had to getaway to rest! I was busy gettingthings ready for our trip toRochester, Minn. Sandee Gittings was in theHayes area Tuesday afternoon andalso went to Pierre. Tuesday bright and early Billand I were on the road toRochester, Minn., for appoint-ments. We arrived just about darkand settled in at a motel. The nextday was full of appointments. Don and Vi Moody had a busyweek at the ranch and enjoyed vis-iting and shopping in Philip and er-rands in Kadoka, getting feed sup-plements before the cold weatherand snow came to the area. Theygot all the livestock settled in forthe predicted snow and a warmerweek is going to be appreciatedagain. They were putting up a fewmore of their Christmas decora-tions including the "other" quickfiber optic tree fully decorated ex-cept for a special Christmas bobblehand painted by an artisan frienddepicting a wildlife scene with apair of pretty pheasants in a natu-ral winter wonderland setting. Thefirst clue is the artist writes thiscolumn! Daniel Jordan rode out withSandee Gittings after he got offwork Friday and spent the night.He returned home Saturdayevening. Meanwhile, back in Rochester,Wednesday, part of the day wastaken up with appointments. Billand I rested a bit, then went toCannon Falls, Minn., to meet sec-ond cousins, Craig and PatBuswell, Hastings, Minn., andMark and Barb Buswell, PriorLake, Minn. We had an enjoyableevening visiting about theirGrandma, Edna Buswell andGrandpa Hubert Buswell. I need todig out some of the history for them

and any pictures I can find. Here inKadoka friend Phyllis Word waschecking in on the cat and pickingup the mail. Wednesday Tony Harty pickedup his mail then visited ShirleyHair about the same time propanewas delivered. Tony played withthe little dogs while Shirley tookcare of the outside activity. ThenTony went for coffee and lunch out. Thursday Bill was being scannedfrom top to bottom and back again,which left me in the waiting room.I struck up a conversation with afellow seated close to me, dressedin white pants and shirt that ap-peared to be linen, but not wrin-kled. He had gray hair and when Iasked where he was from hereplied, India. I discovered that heand his family came to Rochestereach year and had for many years.He was a farmer in India. I saidwhen I called for tech support formy computer I quite often gotyoung men from India that helpedme. He said that he had troublegetting workers on the farm be-cause the young were going intothe technology field. I asked if mar-riages were still arranged, hesmiled and said yes. I had alsoheard that when a young man mar-ries, he and his bride live with hisparents. He said there are gener-ally five generations living to-gether. They eat together but haveseparate rooms to live in. He toldme everyone in India speaks threelanguages, English, the State lan-guage (which varies from area toarea) and the Nations language.But English is spoken by everyonein India and is universal. Now, forthe farming aspect, they have do-mestic help in the house and thewomen and children all help out-side with the farm. This farm issomething else since it encom-passes a lot of variety. He said theydairy. They milk water buffalo, themilk is 20% richer than anythingproduced here in the U.S.A. Theydo pasteurize and homogenize themilk but he thought that much ofthat processing was what causedproblems to immune systems. Theyraise cane, sugar cane that is, andtake it from the planting rightdown to processing the sugar andutilize all the by products along theway. The same went for the othercrops they raised. He said they didnot waste anything, taking the ma-nure through a digested, makingmethane gas and running most of

the farm using it. Then he wascalled away and Bill came out, afew more minutes and maybe Iwould have had an address to visitin India. Maybe next time! Bill andI skipped the late afternoon ap-pointment with the doctor to avoidbeing caught in some potentialwinter weather, leaving word thatif there was anything major, calland we would come back. No call,so we arrived home that eveningjust a little after dark. Our sympathy to the family ofBarney Pfeifer, who passed awaythis week in Philip. Barney was anavid hunter and spent quite a littletime enjoying that sport over hislife as well as fishing. Friday morning we awoke to alight snow cover here in Kadoka.Bill made his usual trip to Philipfor cards in the afternoon and I at-tended the visitation for HaroldSchnee, at the PresbyterianChurch in the afternoon. We got toknow Harold after moving toKadoka and I enjoyed many visitswith him since we had a sheepbond. It was his band of sheep wesaw as we came into town from theWest with the Great Pyrenees dogson guard. Our sympathy to thefamily in their loss. No word from Ralph and CathyFiedler so hope they shook off thecolds and all is well. It is such abusy time of year getting cardsmailed, decorations up, bakingdone, etc., that you don’t reallymake news, just accomplish thingsaround home. I attended the services forHarold Schnee Saturday morning.Bill was holding down a chair atthe card room in Philip in the after-noon (it’s a tough job but somebodyhas to do it), meanwhile here athome I took the trash to the dump,it was a pretty nice day and notwindy, so a good time to get rid ofstuff. Bill came home early and wewent out for supper but encoun-tered wind, freezing rain and blow-ing snow before we got home. Needto check weather better before ven-turing off too far. George and Sandee Gittings metEd and Marcia Morrison in townfor supper Saturday evening.Sandee had plans to be on the roadearly Sunday morning with Jes-sica, but the weather kicked thattrip out the door when I-90 wasclosed from Chamberlain to SiouxFalls, and I-29 closed too. So,Sandee got busy and made up her

recipes for candy and other sweettreats, a total of five or six things,and the voice of experience is theyare all good. She enlisted the helpof great grandson Daniel and to-gether they spent some qualitykitchen time Vi Moody had a call from herfriend Nancy Gaylord, Branford,Conn. Sunday evening and thingsare getting nearly back to normalafter Hurricane Sandy and Nancyalways looks forward to talkingabout S.D. at her meeting with herretired friends from Ch. 8 TV, NewHaven, Conn., when they havetheir monthly luncheon and thetopic seems to be quite common forNancy to bring up her friends inS.D. Nancy is very proud as sheknows four people from here (Don,Vi, Marsha, and Bill) and she lovesto relate Vi's news about this areafor a conversation topic. Last onebeing the Missouri River pipelineand how it has helped our statewith such severe drought issues.These visits with Nancy are some-times quite lengthy but very enjoy-able and interesting. Sunday, we had drifts! The lilacbushes caught about three to fourfeet of snow, which keeps it fromaround the buildings. It was stillvery blustery in the early morning.In the afternoon, I visited Lee andRoberta Vaughan in Philip to takecare of Civil Air Patrol business.The KCBA sponsored a Christmasevent with Santa taking requestsfrom children, and free bingo andchili and sweet rolls served after-ward as a fund raiser for the 4-Hclub. It was a full house. A long awaited event took placefor Tony Harty on Sunday. Evenwith nasty roads here in Kadoka,he was up and at ‘em early, headedto Rapid City. This was the day hewas to get a 51” big screen TV. Thisfall a group was selling raffle tick-ets for the Black Hills Youth Foot-ball League at the football gamehere in Kadoka and Tony boughtsome chances. About a month agohe got a phone call to let him knowhe’d won the grand prize, the BIGTV They wanted to make the pres-entation December 9, so Tony hadto wait all that time. He said hewas fortunate that the further westhe went the better the roads wereand the day turned beautiful. Hegot the TV home and in the house.Dale Koehn and Kathy Browncame over to help get it put intoplace. When all was hooked up andrunning Tony was amazed at thequality and clarity of the picture.Congratulations Tony! “Snowflakes are one of nature’smost fragile things, but just lookwhat they can do when they stick to-gether.” Vesta M. Kelly.

Greetings from snow covered,cool, mostly wind still, partlysunny northeast Haakon County!It looks like today is going to be abeautiful day! We are getting closerand closer to Christmas, so I hopeyou are all well on your way tobeing prepared for all the festivi-ties. I haven't done the math to fig-ure out exactly how many "shop-

ping days" are left, but the giftsaren't the most important thinganyway. Speaking of festivities, the localschools are preparing for theirChristmas programs. CheyenneSchool will be having their pro-gram this Thursday at 7:00 p.m.(CT) at the Kirley Hall, and theDeep Creek students will be havingtheir program on Wednesday, De-cember 19 at 7:00 p.m. (CT) at theschool. The students are workinghard, preparing for the programs.I hope they will have good crowds.Everyone is invited. Even though it is the season forsnow, it seems like the first snowsalways kind of take me by surprise.We had snow Friday morning, andwe woke up to more snow and windon Sunday morning. Marge Briggssaid we received two inches of snowon Sunday, but the wind pushedthat snow into some pretty bigdrifts in spots. The snow was prettyfluffy, so it didn't cause much diffi-culty, but according to Marge, wereceived .30 inches of moisture, andof course every bit is welcome thisyear. Nels and Dorothy Paulson wentto Pierre one day last week for sup-plies, and Saturday Dorothy bakedcookies. Sunday, Nels had somebad luck with a tractor.....hisbeloved Allis Chalmers has someserious motor problems which willhave to be fixed. Thank goodnesshe has another tractor that can beused until the broken one is re-paired. Dorothy said there was nochurch on Sunday due to inclementweather. Duane and Lola Roseth were in
