Philip Nursing Home

Tree of Love honors

loved onesThe Philip Nursing Home will again have the

Tree of Love during the holidays. You may ask:What is the Tree of Love?

The Tree of Love is a way in which the com-munity can remember loved ones who may havepassed away or a loved one who is still living. Itis a worthy project which makes money for theresidents activity fund.

Three trees will be placed on the bulletinboard at the nursing home in early December:The In Memory Tree for those loved ones nolonger living; the In Honor of Tree for thatspecial loved one still alive; and the Tree for

Businesses.Colored symbols are placed on the trees.

Red symbols are $25; Blue are $10; Green are$5; and White are $1. The price differencesallow everyone the opportunity to give a trib-

ute in someones name. The name of the hon-ored person and the name of the sponsorare placed on the symbol. Those decorat-ing the trees appreciate a condensed ver-sion of the information. For example: TheJohn Doe Family. Include the necessaryinformation of the honoree and thesponsorDonations will be accepted fromnow until Christmas.

Your Tree of Love donation can besent to the Philip Nursing Home, Attn:Cheri Heeb, PO Box 790, Philip, SD57567. Please note on the envelope thatit is a Tree of Love gift. Out-of-town busi-nesses are also invited to participate.

Barbara Kroetch and Peggy Hook willbe visiting local businesses for theBusi-

ness Tree donations.

by Del BartelsThursday morning, November

29, Paul Imholte was the object ofan assembly for kindergartenthrough sixth graders and for thegeneral public.

Imholte said that his goal is toincrease awareness in the audienceof not only music, but specificallythe great variety of stringed instru-ments. He grabbed the audiencesattention by first moving amongthe students as he played a livelytune on the fiddle.

Volunteer Mallory Vetter helpedImholte demonstrate the woodenspoons, which made a minisculepitch difference when played on dif-ferent parts of the body, such as thearm or even the head. The spoonsare a very inexpensive drum setthat you can carry with you., saidImholte.

Explaining briefly the origins ofeach instrument, Imholte nextplayed the eight string mandolin,first used in Italy. He then had vol-unteers create different verses forthe song Shell be Coming Aroundthe Mountain, as he picked thefive string banjo. The song is an

American folk song, he said , thusno one knows who originally wroteit, and everyone in the room ownsit.

He played the hammered dul-cimer, which has 70 strings andtwo bridges that make a musicalfifth relationship. It is a stringedinstrument, but played with mal-lets, and is the predecessor to themodern day piano.

Using the guitar, he sang a diddyabout rutabagas. Using the auto-harp, he went from a minuet byBach to a diddy about eating ba-nanas. Using the dulcimer some-

times called the mountain or Ap-palachian dulcimer he performeda love song Simple Gifts.

Having started playing such in-struments when he was 10 andpracticing for 40 some years, Imstill learning, though a little bitslower than I used to, saidImholte.

To the tough question from theaudience, he admitted that histhree favorite instruments of theones he plays would be the guitar,hammered dulcimer and violin,but the violin is hard to chord.

The last instrument introducedwas a jaw harp, technically not a

string instrument because it uses ametal band for sound vibration.Taking it out of his mouth to singthe words, he played an anti-smok-ing song, I had a Horse ThatSmoked Cigarettes.

The assembly concluded withImholte playing the guitar and theaudience singing the song, ThisLand is Your Land.

Imholte was brought to Philipthrough the Dakota Assembliesprogram, locally paid for by dona-tions to the schools teachers fundwhich includes donations from thecollection of bottle caps, Box Topsand other sources.

by Del BartelsThe Freemasons held their an-

nual District 15 meeting, Saturday,December 1, in the Philip MasonicLodge #153.

Welcoming State Grand MasterJack Hantz, Belle Fourche, asguest speaker were District MasterDoug Thorson, Philip, Wall MasterGrant Shearer, and other attend-ing Freemasons.

Hantz acknowledged the absenceof some district members, particu-larly from the Martin lodge, whowere participating in the annualMartin parade of lights. Martin,though, will host next years dis-trict meeting.

Hantz restated the hierarchy ofMasonic responsibility of family,

job, then the lodge. Family first,always, said Hantz.

My obligation is to accept the re-sponsibility to travel all over thestate, and neighboring states, torepresent you and all Masons,said Hantz. With a little over 5,000Masons in South Dakota, We havedecided to do our best to keep thebrothers together and increase ourmembers. The Grand Lodge meet-ing this year will be family ori-ented. We are working on scholar-ships for the kids and giving tocharities. Weve got to keep ourroots growing.

One of the most community ori-ented programs supported by Ma-

sons is the South Dakota ChildIdentification Program (CHIP). A

personal identification package isgiven to parents of participatingchildren. The packets includes aphoto, fingerprints, DNA swab,and an audio/visual recording oftheir child.

Im a 100 percent believer ingetting the older teenage girls in-volved in the CHIP program. Itsnot just for little kids, said Grant.

If you can get in with the school,it really helps. We did our lastCHIP program on parent/teacherday, said Thorson.

Hantz praised the public accessi-bility and internal record keepingby Masons by computers and theInternet. Computers are a great

thing. All this paperwork goingback and forth will stop. Its all atyour fingertips, said Hantz. TheSouth Dakota Masonic website ismygrandlodge.org.

The district meeting concludedwith a 50-year pin presentation toIke Dale, Philip. Dale entered Ma-sonry in May 1961, and was raisedto Master Mason in March 1962.

I have a lot of stories. Its beenquite an experience, said Dale.My friends, neighbors and broth-ers, its been a fun trip so far.

Thorson noted that the year Daleserved as master of the Philiplodge, 1969, was the year Thorsonwas born.

Lookin AroundIve worked as a waiter. I can

carry full cups of coffee around ata goodly rate of speed withoutspilling them. Well, er, usually Ican. Sometimes I may slop a littleif I try to go through a door whilecarrying something in addition tothe coffee. Going through both thefront door and the screen door canbe problematic as well. Still, I havefairly good liquid-carrying skills.

As you go through life, if youdont watch out, youre apt to gainskills at this and that (like coffee-carrying) from jobs or experiencesyou happen to have. Take cooking,for example. Ive always cookedsome so as to avoid starvationwhen left to my own devices. Ilearned quite a bit more about it,though, when I took up trying to

feed the wife, son and some ranchguys in addition to myself. As ithappened, we decided many yearsago to home-school son Chance,and wife Corinne wasnt sure shecould both teach and cook. Thecooking was known to take quite abit of time, especially on those daysthe men came for dinner whichthey did fairly often. As a result, Ivolunteered for kitchen duty. Thiswas fine, but I had to stretch mymeager skills somewhat to avoidserving the same fare every dayand also to accommodate some foodsensitivities plus likes and dis-likes. I basically can and do eat al-most everything without muchtrouble, but this doesnt hold truefor everyone.

Anyway, through doing it, Ilearned to cook a varied menu.Whats more, I tend to get carriedaway with any project I take on so

I learned a lot more than strictlynecessary through my fondness forexperimentation. Some experi-ments came out nicely and othersnot so much. Scones were not amajor success. Even the dog would-nt eat them. He buried them in-stead. Tacos, on the other hand,turned out well including makingthe shells from scratch. We haveeaten a lot of those.

I have also invented variousmenu items and desserts althoughoften from goofing up and trying tocorrect matters. Take the chocolatecherry meringue cake I came upwith through accidentally addingtoo much sugar when trying tomake an angel-food cake. Aftercogitating over that mistake a bit,I decided to add some cocoa andchopped cherries and see whathappened. It turned out very wellindeed, and I still make it from

time to time. I had to call it ameringue cake because adding toomuch sugar to egg whites gives you

meringue, not angel food, butthats no big deal.

The other day, though, I messedup making that cake by setting theoven to 275 degrees instead of 325.I didnt notice the error until afterId taken the pan out and turned itupside down to cool. The cake thenfell out of the tin so something wasobviously wrongnamely it wasbadly undercooked. Taking a hintfrom how you warm up Frenchbread (according to the breadwrapper,) I cranked the oven up to400 degrees and threw the confec-tion back in the oven for ten min-utes although I wasnt at all surehow that would come out. Luckilyit worked, and the cake was saved.

Alas, the learning curve is some-what bent in areas where you may

have experience but little aptitude.Electrical, plumbing, and mechan-ical matters pop to mind. Ive hadto do some of all of those throughnecessity, but Im not a fastlearner. Basic stuff I can dothrough hard work and sweat, but,if things get complicated, I call forhelp. Carpentry is a little easierbut still not my best suit.

Then, too, if you live longenough, some of the things youvelearned become obsolete. Take carengines, for example. I know a lit-tle about carburetors but nothingabout fuel injection. Electrical sys-tems on modern cars are com-pletely beyond me. You have tohave complicated electronic gear tofigure out what is wrong, and Imnot really interested in learningthat. Similarly, through great ef-fort, I learned to develop photo-graphic film and make both color

and black-and-white prints fromnegatives. Now, thanks to the dig-ital revolution, you can barely buyfilm anymore. Thats okay, how-ever. I dont miss all those smellychemicals and the tedium involvedwith using them. Digital camerasare great and computer printing

just fine.At the moment, though, I am a

little short on my coffee consump-tion for the day. Id better correctthat and maybe take some blackliquid out onto the deck to drink.That is not a problem. Im prettygood at carrying coffee around.Maybe, too, Ill take my digitalcamera along and try to capturethe sunset, which seems to beshaping up nicely. Life goes on.Live and learn.

(By the way, opinions vary.Corinne has a lower opinion of mycoffee-carrying skills than I do.

Something about spots on thefloor.)

Staying in shape ... by Del Bartels Eat right, exercise, get enough sleep and dont do anything bad for

your body. All these helpful rules sound good. Thats about all they do.

Eat right ... yeah right. Everything that tastes good is supposedly

bad for you, and if it isnt, then the quantity needed to survive is way

too much to stay healthy. Most things on grocery shelves include

monosodium glutamate, an amino acid industrially used as a flavor

enhancer. When I want flavor, I eat a steak. No, it is not the size of a

deck of cards; its a STEAK. If it doesnt cover the plate, it must be a

conspiracy by foreign-born politicians and the soy industry. Eat to sur-

vive? I survive to eat. Salad greens? I eat critters that eat greens.

Exercise (pardon my swearing) is for people who dont work, dont

have fun, dont anything else or dont have a life. Jogging, if it is not

in preparation for hunting season or to win at something, is nothing

more than self-inflicted pain. What rancher after branding calves,

putting in fence posts, loading hay and fertilizer, and knuckle-busting

to fix the tractor comes home and gets on the treadmill? Nobody ac-

tually wants to be stout, chunky, big-boned, horizontally tall, portly,

wide-ish or but has a great personality. Imagine a newlywed opening

her first Christmas present from her husband, to find a weight-loss

program certificate from the health club. Imagine your kid having

show-and-tell day on examples of big, and introducing you.

The sleep idea sounds soooo good. It just doesnt happen. Your boss

frowns on that sort of thing ... as do the passing motorists. Heaven

help you if your kid, from their chair in the band during a school con-

cert, can hear your snoring over the top of the bass drums. If sleep dep-

rivation wasnt such a socially-promoted thing, why do dance halls stay

open until after 1:00 a.m.? And, why do TV stations air 24 hours? Be-

sides, who can fall back asleep for the rest of the night once they get

up off of the couch? Maybe Ill get enough sleep after Im dead.

Not doing anything bad to your body is unnatural and anti-Ameri-

can. If everyone stopped drinking and smoking, the United States

economy would crash and the government would go broke from loss of

tax revenue. A healthy population would collapse more than a few en-

tire industries with people not needing vitamins, nor exercise equip-

ment, nor hangover remedies, nor any other health placeboes. Have

some beer, a cigar and pure sugar, then enjoy a roller coaster.

Generally, health is common sense, but that is often asking too

much. When it comes to eating habits, some people dont get the irony

of having candy machines in a dentists reception room. When it comes

to having a lifestyle full of work and fun activity, it was once said that

football is 50 athletes in desperate need of rest entertaining 50,000

spectators in desperate need of exercise. When it comes to sleep, just

turn off the TV, and, if really desperate, read a little something to putyourself asleep, such as this column.

Condition of the WinterWheat Crop

The fall of 2012 has been a chal-lenge for South Dakotas winterwheat producers as they faced verydry soil conditions to plant into.During the week of November 25,2012, 64 percent of winter wheatin South Dakota was rated in pooror very poor condition. This ratingwas the worst of any state in theprimary winter wheat growing re-

gion.The quick development of se-vere to exceptional drought, ac-cording to the U.S. Drought Moni-tor (http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/), has affected much of thewheat producing areas of the US.The winter wheat crop conditionsin the central US has affected thenational rating, which is now at itslowest level since records of thistype began in 1986.

The South Dakota Weekly CropWeather Report, published by theNational Agricultural StatisticsService puts the hard red winterwheat of South Dakota at 60 per-cent emerged as of November 25.Other states have significantlybetter ratings, both in conditionand percent emerged. Some peoplebelieve the report of 60 percent ofwinter wheat emerged seems high.The NASS crop progress estimatesare based on a subjective opinionsurvey of county officials, which

are not claimed to be statisticallyaccurate. The important fact isthat even if the figure is high, 60%is the lowest percent of winterwheat emerged by late Novemberin South Dakota since at least1990. One other fall that standsout with a low percentage of win-ter wheat emergence in SouthDakota was 2000, when 74 percentof the crop was reported emergedin November. The statewide aver-age yield in 2001 was 32 bu/acre,which tied for the 2nd and 3rd low-est yield since 1990. It is not advis-able to make yield predictions forthe 2013 cropping season based onthis however.

Many areas where winter wheatwas planted into dry soil have re-ceived small amounts of moisturevia rain and/or snow. This limitedmoisture has caused some of thewheat to sprout, but little has ac-tually emerged to a significant de-

gree. These seedlings have usedenergy reserves from the seed, andhave not been able to generatephotosynthetic activity and de-velop crowns to store energy forwinter survival. Without addi-tional moisture, the sproutedseedlings may dry out and die.

Dry soil cools off more quicklyand will get colder than soil withadequate moisture, if low air tem-peratures occur without snow forinsulation. This potential exposureto low temperatures could con-tribute to significant winterkill fora crop in marginal condition. Mois-ture in the form of either rain orsnow would improve the conditionof the crop and chances for its sur-vival. However prospects for mois-ture dont look good.

Producers may want to wait be-fore making decisions such as fer-tilizing until they have a betterhandle on the potential of the crop.

As spring approaches, winter

wheat growers will want to assessthe condition of the crop. If thecrop is insured, producers shouldcontact their crop insurance agentbefore taking steps to terminatethe crop and initiate alternativeplans.

The good news is that if the crop

survives, it is almost certain thatthe plants will vernalize and pro-duce a seed head. All that is neces-sary for the winter wheat plants tovernalize is for the kernel to takeon moisture and swell, and gothrough a period of about threeweeks at about 40 degrees orlower. It is almost unheard of forwinter wheat planted in the fall inSouth Dakota to not complete that

process. It is well known amongproducers that wheat, particularlywinter wheat, is a tough crop andcan surprise you with its re-siliency.

This fall, many livestock produc-ers who veterinarian Jim Stangle,Milesville, works with have to becreative when it comes to findingforage for their cattle.

The drought left them with re-duced hay supplies and little to nowinter grazing. To help ensure thatthe forages his clients find are safeto feed, the Haakon County veteri-narian tests samples of standingforages for nitrates.

Because of the drought we knewnitrates would be a big problemthis year. I took a South DakotaState University Extension train-ing course so I could provide localtesting to producers in my area,said Stangle, who was one of manySouth Dakota veterinarians to re-ceive certification from SDSU Ex-tension this summer on the nitratequik test.

Along with getting their foragestested for nitrates, Stangle saidthat, because many of his clientshave to purchase additional foragesor protein supplements this year,many cattle producers rely onSDSU Extension to provide themwith information on affordable op-tions, as well as customized feedrations.

Because they arent selling aproduct, producers know they cantrust SDSU Extension field special-ists for unbiased recommenda-tions, Stangle said.

Adele Harty, Philip, is the SDSUExtension cow/calf field specialistStangle works with. She is one ofabout specialists hired when a newstaffing model was put into placeOctober 2011 as part of a completereorganization, implemented tocomply with state budget cuts.

Harty has worked within SDSUExtension since 2005. When shewas rehired in 2011 as an SDSUExtension field specialist her jobdescription changed.

I was raised on a cow/calf oper-ation. My education is focused incow/calf nutrition. Before I was re-hired, I worked with all livestockproducers. Now that I'm able tofocus on, and work with solelycow/calf producers I can utilize myknowledge, experience and educa-

tion to help South Dakota cow/calfproducers to become better at whatthey are already good at, Hartysaid.

Harty and her peers are expectedto have their master's degree.Today, field specialists office in oneof eight regional centers, but oftentravel throughout the state.

This provides a greater level ofexpertise to the entire state, saidRosie Nold, SDSU Extension pro-gram director for agriculture andnatural resources. Instead of gen-eralists in each county, we haveseveral specialized staff serving theentire state. This allows SDSU Ex-tension to provide a deeper level offocus, expertise and research basedinformation to help solve the chal-lenging questions or issues SouthDakotans face.

Karla Trautman, associate direc-tor of SDSU Extension, added thatbecause specialists serve the entirestate, there is an increased focus oncollaboration between SDSU Ex-tension specialists, SDSU facultyand supporters throughout thestate.

Through the budget driven reor-ganization, SDSU Extension in-creased its commitment to 4-H.More than 30 4-H youth programadvisor positions were created, incoordination with local communi-ties, to focus on 4-H, a programwhich serves more than 59,000

South Dakota youth each year.The university reinforced its

commitment to 4-H and youth de-velopment by implementing countylevel 4-H youth program advisorpositions, Peter Nielson, SDSUExtension 4-H youth developmentprogram director. Four-H mem-bers and programs did not havethis type of dedicated focus in theold system."

Nielson explained that todaythere is more of a prioritized 4-Hfocus because, 4-H youth programadvisors, like field specialists, arefully committed to 4-H and youthprogramming.

Although there have been grow-ing pains in many areas, 4-H mem-bers and their families have seenincreased opportunities this year,"said Paula Hamilton, president ofthe state 4-H leaders association.

Along with face-to-face educa-

tional seminars and workshops,SDSU Extension offers webinars,has smartphone apps and provides

24/7 access to educational materi-als and information through iGrow.

iGrow is an online teaching plat-form.

On Thanksgiving Day, at Somer-set Court, my tablemate, MarilynButts, had company at lunch, herdaughter and son-in-law, Carlaand Kelly Jerred, Rapid City. Theystayed an hour or so and showedMarilyn photos taken on their re-cent trip to Idaho Falls for Mari-lyns great-granddaughters firstbirthday.

VivianHansen woke up with red circlesaround both eyes, so she decided tostay in her apartment so her bud-dies would not have to see herlooking so awful.

Vivians son, Leslie, Bend, Ore.,surprised her with a visit. Theyshared a Somerset Court noonmeal, (plenty for both), had a goodgame of scrabble, and talked phi-losophy and then Leslie played thepiano. He has great power andstyle. Thank you, Leslie.

Saturday, November 24, at Som-erset Court, Vivian Hansen hadcompany, her son, Leslie, Bend,Ore. Leslie sat through exerciseswith the residents.

Leslie suggested that we have aproject of baking bread fromscratch. Somerset kitchen provideda big mixing bowl and two loafpans, a little flour, yeast and sugar.Leslie and Vivian stirred up asponge which means a starter toget the yeast growing. You willneed a couple of cups of comfort-ably warm water, not hot. Add acouple tablespoons of sugar, andstir it well, now add about two ta-blespoons of granulated dry yeastand stir. Let is develop at roomtemperature. In 20 to 30 minutes,the yeast spores will have multi-plied and made a foamy mixture.Now add a cup of warm water anda cup of flour. Stir well, and let thatcontinue to grow the yeast. Fromthere you can add a little shorten-ing and flour until it makes a firmdough. Knead and form into asmooth ball. Let it stand at room

temperature until it is about twiceits original size. Then form it intotwo loaves. Or as we did, one loafand a dozen biscuits. Then go dosomething else while they grow forabout an hour or maybe two. Bakeat 350 degrees. Be sure to openyour door and let the neighbors

enjoy the aroma.Thank you to the Somerset

kitchen staff. It was a pleasant ex-perience. Leslie also entertainedwith piano music. Thank you,Leslie. We walked some laps andLeslie got to meet Maxine Burgessup on third floor.

Leslie left to do errands and M.R.Hansen came over for scrabble. Hewas just leaving when Leslie cameback. So then, Leslie sampled thebread and pronounced it edible.Edna Wulff dropped in and weasked her to take our picture withthe bread and biscuits waiting torise.

Arbach, Irene Cox, Susan andprobably Ina playing.

Greetings from dark, breezy, dry,not-too-cool northeast HaakonCounty. The reason it is dark is be-cause I'm writing this news onMonday night, because I have a lotto do on Tuesday. Our weather has

been so unseasonably warm thepast few days I haven't even

needed to wear a coat when I walkto the barn to feed the cats. That iscertainly unusual for this time ofyear! Sometimes I worry that if wehave all this nice weather now, weare probably going to pay for it

later on. And I guess that couldpossibly be the case, but for now I'll

just enjoy the warmth.It was kind of bittersweet last

week here at Neuhauser ranchwhen we removed some of the treesthat Randy's Grandpa Rubeplanted many decades ago. Thetrees were huge Chinese elms thathad shaded grandpa's house andyard for years and years, but theyhad come to the end of their life.They needed to be removed beforethey fell and damaged the house ortore out electric lines. We called inprofessionals to help with the job the trees were too big for us totackle on our own. I hoped thatmaybe we could just take out thedead limbs, but the experts saidthe trees were 90 percent dead, andthere just wasn't anything to besaved. So now there is a lot moresunlight on the south side of the

house, and we have a huge pile oftree trunks and branches at theedge of the hill. Those trees servedtheir purpose well, and next springI'll be planting some trees to taketheir place.

It is getting closer to Christmas,and the local schools have set thedates of their Christmas programs,so mark your calendars! The pro-gram at Cheyenne School will beheld at 7 p.m. CST Thursday, De-cember 13, at the Kirley Hall. Andthe program at the Deep CreekSchool will be Wednesday, Decem-ber 19, at 7 p.m. CST at the school.Following the programs, there willbe treats and refreshments, andeveryone is invited to attend. Thestudents work hard preparing forthe programs I hope they havegood crowds!

And speaking of schools, theDeep Creek students and theirteacher, Theresa Deuchar, at-tended an assembly in PhilipThursday, November 29. The pre-sentor had music as his medium toteach some positive messages forthe kids. Unfortunately, during theassembly, Theresa's car had a flattire, so Mark Coyle loaned them a

Heshowed everyone how he copeswith everyday life. The most inter-esting aspect was how he operateshis van. Before the class left, Tommade sure the class had some good-

ies. The students had questionsand learned much from Tom. Nexton the schedule was a visit withChuck Allen.

It seems it was only the otherday that I was doing my news col-umn from the Ortman Hotel andhere it is, another Monday. Whendoing my column at that hotel, Iwas using a table in the hallwaynear our room. A couple of Amishladies stopped and inquired as towhat I was doing. I told them I wasdoing my weekly Midland Newscolumn for the Pioneer Review. Ishared of my aunt, Ida Hunt, hav-ing been the Midland News re-porter, for right at 42 years. Beinginterested in how I sent my news tothe Pioneer Review, I told of typingit up as I was doing, highlighting it,

hit copy and paste and sending itoff to the paper. Told them it worksgreat unless you accidentally hitdelete and erase all your work.From there, we struck up a friend-ship. Sharing stories. They showedme a newspaper from Indianawhere they live, with news columnsof the different areas. They sharedstories of their Amish way of lifeand I shared stories of our ances-tors who came from Norway, Ger-many, Holland and other places,buying land, and forming a com-munity. And so, in sharing our sto-ries, there was a feeling of kinship.I always find it interesting andamazing, how in doing somethinglike writing a local news column inthe hallway of a hotel, brings inter-esting people into ones lives. Godgives us those unexpected bless-ings. They were two very niceladies.

Hosting Thanksgiving Day attheir home near Bear Butte wereTracy, Lori, Brooke and BrettKonst. Those able to be there for

prime rib were Pat Snook, Gary,Deb, Gavin and Garrett Snook,Midland, Rene Konst, TerryBuchert, Philip, Dick and GeneHudson, near the Four Cornersarea, and James, Melony, Madisonand Preston Gilles, Murdo. Patspent Wednesday night there andhelped set tables, etc. Gary, Deband boys spent the night in RapidCity with Pat so they could makean early morning purchase beforeheading home.

Pat Snook and friends attendedthe parade of lights in Rapid CitySaturday evening; over 200 beauti-fully decorated floats wowed the

thousands of people lining thestreets. The weather cooperated,being about 40, but the wind wasa little chilly.

Pat drove to Pierre Friday tokeep appointments, and stayedovernight with Ted and GingerFenwick. Saturday, she was inMidland to see the beautifulChristmas trees set up at the Le-gion Hall. And as Pat said, a bigthank you goes out to Carol andRoy Hunt and crew for making thisevent possible. There was a hugecrowd on hand to enjoy the trees,the children's live nativity, and thesoup luncheon provided by the sen-ior citizens.

Wednesday, Marie Anderson andJudy Daly and Steve Daly attendedthe funeral of Marie's brother, RoyRoseth. Also going to the funeralwere Bill and LaVonne Wheeler,Pierre, and Dr. Wayne and April

Anderson, Rapid City. Wayne andApril and Marie stopped in and vis-ited at the Daly ranch when theycame from the funeral.

Evans. Saturday, Don headed forChamberlain where he attendedsome classes. Vera stayed in Mid-land going to Christmas in Mid-land and seeing many folks sheknew from when they lived in Mid-land when Don was CEO of theMidland school. Saturday evening,Ernie and Laurel and Don and

Vera were supper guests at Boband Veronas. After church Sun-day, Don and Vera headed forhome.

Tuesday, November 20, KeithHunt, Christine Niedan, TeresaPalmer, Janice Tolton and MichelleMeinzer went to Philip for visita-tion for Roy Roseth. After droppingoff Keith at the funeral home, theypicked up their mom, Ida Hunt, atthe nursing home, so all could go tothe visitation for their uncle andbrother-in-law.

Thanks to Teresa (Hunt) Palmer,

Murdo, for reporting on their tripto El Paso.

Wednesday, November 21,Christine Niedan, Teresa Palmerand Jan Tolton flew out from theRapid City airport for El Paso,Texas, to spend Thanksgiving withJans daughter, Jenna, Oscar andone-year-old Keenan. Jenna is a PAstationed at Ft. Bliss, the Armybase in El Paso. Oscar is stationedin California.

Thanksgiving, the group went toa parade which had several bands,acrobats (who stopped and per-formed in front of the crowd), manyhuge floats an especially prettyone was a train engine and threecars, and other walkers. We en-

joyed eating Thanksgiving dinnerout which was a nice treat. Jennahad pumpkin pie for us to enjoylater in the evening. Friday, foundeveryone (except Keenan who went

to day care) viewing the border intoChihuahua, Mexico. It was inter-esting to see all the people crossingthe bridge, carrying goods in suit-cases and bags, to return to Mexico.

After shopping in that area, we ateout, picked up Keenan, and re-turned to Jennas lovely home.That night, the girls babysatKeenan so Jenna and Oscar couldgo out to a movie. Saturday wasspent going on base, shopping andeating. Everything one wants orneeds is available on base.

Sunday was spent shopping andgoing on a tram ride (a mile high)from which you could see threestates and two nations. It was quitean experience for all the girls whoare not very fond of heights. EarlyMonday morning, Jenna, Oscar,and Keenan took the girls to theairport for a 7:30 a.m. flight. Afterarriving in Dallas, there was aslight delay in take off because of

freezing fog in Rapid City. We ar-rived back in South Dakota to fogand snow, so the plane missed thefirst landing. This was quite achange from short sleeve weatherin Texas. This was a very specialtrip as Jenna will be deployed to

Afghanistan on December 8.Keenan will go with his dad to Cal-ifornia. Plans are Oscar andKeenan will return to El Paso inMay when Oscar retires from themilitary. Our prayers for Godssafety are with Jenna and all oth-ers serving in Afghanistan.

Tuesday before Thanksgiving,Gene and Audrey Jones left home

to spend Thanksgiving with daugh-ter Brenda and Todd Nierman andfamily, Trevor, Emily, and Zoey, in

Verona, Wis. They stopped for thenight at the motel in Lacrosse forthe night as it was very foggyaround the Mississippi River. BillBruce's nephew, Aaron Greenwood,is the associate general manager ofthe motel, so they enjoyed a nicevisit with him. Brenda had to workon Thanksgiving, so dinner was inthe evening. Todd and Gene didmost of the preparations. Manyfootball games, much shopping anda couple jigsaw puzzles were in-cluded in the visit. Gene and Au-drey returned home Monday.

Guests of Edna and Roger Dalefor Thanksgiving were her sisters,Paula Jones, Julie and JerWhitcher. Also, their son, BrandonDale, was home for Thanksgivingand the weekend from his school

duties in Rapid City.St. William Altar Society had

their annual Christmas party, sup-per, meeting and gift exchange,Saturday, December 2, at the homeof Amiee Block with Jody Block asco-hostess. This is always a funtime and puts one in the Christmasspirit.

Two-hundred-twenty-nine peo-ple signed their name at the 10thanniversary of Christmas in Mid-land Saturday, December 1. Theevent was held at the Midland Le-gion Hall with the senior citizensserving a soup and sandwich meal.Reports are the chicken noodlesoup was delicious. I had the chiliand it was tasty, as well. This an-nual event is enjoyed by all whocome. And each year, the trees, dec-orated by organizations, busi-nesses, and individuals, seem toget prettier and prettier. Some out-

of-state folks were driving downMain Street when they noticed thesign about Christmas in Midland,so they stopped in, enjoyed a goodbowl of soup, saw the decoratedtrees and nativity scene and vis-ited. The live nativity scene was es-pecially nice this year with Pastor

Andy of the Open Bible Churchplaying his guitar while kids fromall three churches sang differentChristmas carols. Santa made hisstop to the delight of small chil-dren, with a chance to have theirpicture taken with Santa. RickReimann was there with his teamof horses and hay wagon, givingfolks of all ages a ride around town.Winners of the tree contest were1st Petoske Construction, 2nd Midland Auxiliary and tying forthird was Midland Slam Dunk,Relay for Life and TrinityLutheran Church. Shari (Hunt)Estep was the winner of the beau-

tiful farm scene painting done byMickey Woitte. Ronnie Sammanswas the winner of the crochetedafghan and Christine (Hunt)Niedan won the patriotic doily,both were made by Betty Block,who does beautiful work. Bettygave them as a fundraiser for theMidland Slam Dunk, Relay for Lifeteam. Many thanks goes to Caroland Roy Hunt and to all theirhelpers. A lot of work and planninggoes into an event such as Christ-mas in Midland. (A little back-ground as to how this event cameto be, ten years ago. Carol and Lor-raine Freeman were visiting, and

in visiting, thoughts of doing some-thing such as Christmas in Mid-land began to form. And from thatconversation came something thatfolks enjoy each and every year.)

Santas Secret Shop at the Mid-land School and sponsored by theMidland Booster Club was held atthe school November 26 28. TheBooster Club gave each student$10 Santa bucks to spend as theywished or to add to something theywished to get for mom and dad orgrandparents. This is somethingthat has been going on for sometime and the students have somuch fun looking for that specialsomething for someone they careabout.

Jenna Finn mentioned thoseCampbell soup labels and says sheneeds them no later then December18. It takes a whole lot of labels toget enough for education items for

the school. So, folks, save those la-bels and either leave them at theschool or give Jenna a call.

Its time to close my column foranother week. In doing my columnof Christmas in Midland, the Mid-land School Christmas programand Christmas church services, Icouldnt help but think oh, boy, itis that time of year. Sometimes weget so caught up in the hustle andbustle of Christmas, and the truemeaning of Christmas gets lost.May we never forget why we cele-brate Christmas. And may we holdthat reason in our hearts for alltime. Christmas cards are begin-

ning to show up in our mailbox. Wealways enjoy hearing from youfolks each and every Christmas.Have a God blessed week.

Even though we are having In-dian summer way into December(yep, that's what month we slippedinto this past week) the saying thatfor every nice winter day, it is oneday closer to spring, surely holdstrue. Carol and John Solon cele-brated their 43rd anniversaryWednesday and when I askedCarol what the weather was like-when they were married, she saidit was a beautiful warm day wayback then. John was thinking theday he got married! It is also hisbirthday! Happy birthday, John.

George Gittings and Daniel Jor-dan were in Midland Monday onbusiness. Daniel spent the night.Roxie Gittings, Kinsey and JessicaGittings attended the movie inPhilip Monday evening.

Tony Harty came by our houseMonday morning to give me hisnews, then he visited Shirley Hair.

Phyllis Word came over for astretch on the inversion table Mon-day, but didn't have time to visit.Bill and I made a trip to Philip andwhile he played cards, I was busymaking wreath, swag and garlanddeliveries. The reward to me is toget to see friends I don't see thatoften when I make deliveries. It's apoor day if you don't learn some-thing and Kay Payne told me aboutusing vitamin E oil on sores,scrapes, etc. So guess what I'm

using on Bill now. Seems to bemaking his wound better. It's likewatching paint dry, and even thatis faster than getting rid of band-ages. Meanwhile, back at the cardroom, Nels Crowser was wonderingif his little sow was pregnant. Billremembered that in my other life Ihad a sow preg tester and asked ifI still had it. Would you believethis, not only did I still have it, I ac-tually knew right where it was andin the dark of the shop, laid handson it, the instruction book, receiptwhen bought and a letter from thecompany, dated 1983. We got thebattery charged and it seemed towork, however, the instructionswere to test it on two for sure, preg-nant sows and one for sure openone, then test the one you won-dered about. Nels was between arock and a hard spot because heonly had one sow.

Don and Vi Moody were at theirranchette in Rapid Valley earlier inthe week for appointments and hadtree trimming done in their shel-terbelt grove and around theiryards and finally finished up withabout four cords of wood whichthey gave away to a friend. So thatcleaned up that project nicely.Thanks to professional help.

Tuesday, Tony Harty tookShirley Hair to get the mail and didsome other errands around town.

Later in the day, he attended visi-tation for Polly Kujawa here inKadoka at the Catholic church.Our sympathy to the Kujawa fam-ily in their loss. We were so fortu-nate to have known Polly.

Brad and Lynne Jorgensen vis-ited at our home Tuesday in searchof some business calendars.

Don and Vi Moody decoratedtheir front yard at Rapid Valleywith a Civil Air Patrol wreath andother lighted solar exterior decora-tions put up the fiber opticChristmas tree in the house whichis predecorated and glowing withwarmth and beauty and all theneighbors seemed to get into thespirit as well, so that was nice.They returned Thursday to meetwith John and Jim Herber at theranch to line out some dam repairs.John and Jim brought their equip-ment for dirt moving and repaired

and built a new and improved sys-tems for water flow and soil erosionprevention, etc. They did this atquite a few locations along the irri-gation spreader system in prepara-tion for the usual spring precipita-tion and snow drift meltdownwhich is sure to come. Don and Vimade a quick run back up to RapidCity for two days to finish someother pertinent business whichkept things working in fine order atboth places. They returned to theranch Saturday late. Rolling stonesgather no moss!

Wednesday morning, I picked upCindy Wilmarth for bowling. I wasa sub for Joy Neville. After the wayI bowled, I doubt if I will have toworry about being a sub anytimesoon. Last week, I couldn't find myball and shoes, it would help if youlook in the right locker. There theywere, hid in my locker! I made

some more deliveries of greenerywhile Cindy did business in Philip.I stopped by Pat Willard's apart-ment looking for Cindy and chatteda bit. Then I enjoyed visiting withDolly Blucher and checked out hernew crotchet project, beautiful lit-tle cross book markers. She giftedme some, so nice. Thanks, Dolly.
