Number 26 Volume 107 February 21, 2013 Basket- ball shoot- out 10 FCCLA District IX and Wrestling 10 “The third installment of Stronger Economies Together was very well attended, with great dis- cussion, and as we neared the end of the evening, enthusiasm about why we are coming together in these meeting was most definitely growing,” said Lindsey Hildebrand, executive director for the Wall Bad- lands Area Chamber of Commerce. Hildebrand was referring to the meeting in Wall, Tuesday, Febru- ary 12. The first community discus- sion among members of the Bad- lands/Bad River Region communi- ties had been held in Kadoka, and the second in Philip. The fourth gathering will be in Midland at the Open Bible Church, March 12, starting at 4:45 p.m. Tentatively, the meeting will include a tour of Stroppel Inn and Bathhouse. Kari O’Neill, community devel- opment field specialist, reported that Dave Hahn, mayor of Wall, said, “As we began to meet, I ques- tioned where we as a region could go but this process has created an enthusiasm within our communi- ties and I look forward to the progress of planning for our future. We have been able to get to know each other more and more each time and the end result will benefit us all.” The purpose of SET is to help rural communities and counties to work together in creating and put- ting into action an economic devel- opment blueprint. This plan is to build on the current and growing economic strengths of the region. The premise is that creating, at- tracting and retaining jobs as a sin- gle rural county in isolation is be- coming increasing ineffective. Eco- nomic development progress is more likely to be realized when rural counties work together as a region to assess, design and imple- ment plans that build on their com- parative economic strengths. More information can be seen at http:// srdc.msstate.edu/set/phase3.html. The SET program is action ori- ented. Each step in the process is supposed to lead to a real goal for that region. The first of the nine monthly meetings was an introduc- tion to the program. The second was for participants to profile their region. This latest meeting was to begin building a strong regional team of individuals. The meeting in Midland will be geared toward de- veloping the vision and goals dis- cussed in the early sessions. Small groups came up with spe- cific names of people to ask to be in- volved in SET. Reasons for involve- ment are also a call for action. This region is facing declining popula- tions, fewer jobs, housing short- ages, aging residents, youth outmi- gration and economic instability. People are coming together as a part of the SET program to find so- lutions to these issues. The team includes a varied group of people with access to many resources, but, we also need the talents and net- works others can bring to the table. We cannot continue to watch these factors get worse. We must act now for results in the next one to five years. Many impacts will last far beyond that. We believe our efforts will positively impact all residents of the region; specifically small businesses. This will encourage people to live, work, raise their family and retire here. Upcoming modules will be: ex- ploring opportunities for a stronger regional economy, strategies for en- hancing the regional economy, dis- covering assets as well as barriers, planning for success, and measur- ing that success. Extra modules could incluce land use and plan- ning, entrepreneurship, technol- ogy/networking, and others. Attendees to this meeting dis- cussed that what the attributes are of a strong regional team. The group should be able to prepare for obstacles, can assess its own make up of individual strengths, can en- tice more partners, can promote ac- tion, and can advocate for its goals. The attendees discussed the as- sets within this region. This helped to identify people representing these capitals, who should be asked to be involved in the SET process. Financial assets include banks, en- dowments, community funds and funding agencies. Natural assets include parks and recreation, con- servation groups, government agencies, farmers and ranchers. Cultural strengths include cultural and religious groups, museums and historical societies. Human assets include facilitators, educators, trainers, workforce groups, service agencies, economic developers, board members. Social strengths could be civic clubs and organiza- tions, “people who know people,” and people with links to outside re- sources. Political assets are elected and appointed officials, congres- sional staff and delegates and po- litical groups. Assets that are or can be built include telecommuni- cations, utilities, industrial parks and other businesses. The group will involve people with varying levels of power and interest. People with low power or drive and with low interest are not worth recruiting. The group should be dynamic in “forming, storming, norming, performing” its plans. Performing is the phase where groups become confident, their en- ergy is channeled, they are com- fortable with new challenges, dis- putes are handled and goals are achieved.

Bill Slovek, local federation pres- ident, opened the meeting with general federation concerns, then introduced the other speakers. Young Farmers and Ranchers representative Chad Hanrahan talked about the educational and mentoring benefits of the program, which is geared to farmers and ranchers ages 18-35. YFR’s winter conference was January 17-20 in Oacoma. YFR ongoing topics in- clude the beef industry advance- ments, cattle market insights, shel- terbelts, farm horticulture projects, weather insurance, trends in agro- nomic practices and programs available for beginners. Next year’s conference will be in Aberdeen. Hanrahan said that the confer- ences are for everyone, YFR mem- bers or not. The next speaker was Lowell Mesman, West River regional man- ager, who gave an update on the Environmental Protection Agency’s fuel tank containment rules. Spill prevention, control countermea- sures (SPCC) rules and recent amendments require landowners to have written plans in place in case there is ever an oil spill. Mes- man said that the rules, “originally had milk in there as an oil, and they got that taken out.” He said that the requirements for such self- certifying plans were if a certain amount of possible contaminants could possibly reach waters of the United States. “Most areas have the possibility of reaching waters of the United States, so I recommend you fill out the form,” said Mes- man. Templates for the forms are on the SPCC website. Mesman recommended the up- coming SPCC meeting in Wall, February 26, at 10:00 a.m. in the community building. “I’m kind of surprised we are getting two EPA personnel on the ground in South Dakota,” said Mesman. He will keep federation members apprised of SPCC developments. South Dakota Farm Bureau Fed- eration Executive Director Wayne Smith began his presentation by asking what attendees liked about ranching. He agreed that the cer- tain amount of freedom experi- enced by a landowner comes with a responsibility, “We are providing a product that everyone needs,” said Smith. Some changes, if possible, wished for by attendees ranged from less government regulation to more control over the weather. Smith asked for input on possi- ble changes to the Farm Bureau Federation itself. “It’s hard for me, even with Farm Bureau, to support everything it does or stands for. Your input makes it go,” said Smith, “Your ideas make the or- Haakon County Farm Bureau Federation Haakon County Farm Bureau Federation board.

An- other issue is trying to keep the as- sessed valuation of production land in check. The attempted sale of the DM&E railroad by the Canadian Pacific Railroad is a large concern for local producers. If it is not sold by July 1, then the state of South Dakota may be forced to buy it. “It would be way better to sell it to a railroad,” said Smith, showing wor- ries of private versus bureaucratic attitudes of upkeep and efficiency. Smith concluded with, “The heart of Farm Bureau is the county or- by Del Bartels During its Monday, February 18 meeting, the Haakon School Dis- trict Board of Education officially approved the calendar for school year 2013-2014. Classes are due to begin August 21 and Christmas break will be from 1:30 p.m. Fri- day, December 20, to first bell Mon- day, January 6. Homecoming is not set yet because the football sched- ule has not yet been made. Tanya McIlravy addressed the board, “I am back again, because I feel there is support.” She is not in favor of starting school before Labor Day (September 2). Stated reasons included family time and vacations, the nice community swimming pool, and athletic prac- tices could be earlier in the day in- stead of after classes in the heat of the afternoon. She thought a later starting date would be more mean- ingful to the students. Nancy Haigh stated that she liked the calendar that was later voted for by the board. She did not like going on extra Fridays, as was suggested by McIlravy’s offered cal- endar. Haigh related that at least some students did not like the idea of classes on Fridays at all. Superintendent Keven Morehart said that the teachers, except for three, preferred the first calendar suggested by him. Three voiced preference for the third suggested calendar, which would have started classes September 3. Board member Mark Nelson asked for when the calendar had to be approved, maybe allowing for more time to compare the sugges- tions and more input from the pub- lic. The rest of the board voted for the first suggested calendar, with Nelson voting nay. The proposed calendars are displayed on the dis- trict’s website. In other business, maintenance director and custodial supervisor Mike Gebes has tendered his resig- nation, affective July 1. The board accepted the resignation. “He’s done a great job here,” said More- hart. The position will be adver- tised in town and outside of the community. An executive session was held concerning personnel and negotia- tions. No action was taken after the session. School district wages for the month of January totaled $1,627.50 for an equivalent of 24 days of substitutes. For hourly wages, a total of more than $28,764 was required for an equivalent of 2,659.47 hours. Board member Anita Peterson reported that the Associated School Boards of South Dakota is tracking bills in legislation and lobbying in Pierre. One issue is protective trust (worker compensation). She said that their website is being redone, and she praised their webinars. “Basically, we should all get online more often and see what is going on,” said Peterson. This year the ASBSD is working on math cus- tomization for the common core program. In his secondary principal’s re- port, Mike Baer praised the one-act play cast and crew at the state fes- tival. Parent/teacher conferences had a 90 percent turnout. Dakota STEP testing for seventh, eighth and 11th grade students will be April 2-4. Ninth and 10th grade students will have their own test- ings, a type of precursor to the American College Testing program, but these will not be individualized to the point of determining if a spe- cific student may need pro- grammed study halls next year. All sports will have a potluck awards time on May 9. It will be a simple handing out of rewards, without a rehash of the season by the coaches. Baer believes even this might take some time. The National Honor Society in- doctrination will be April 22. Baer hopes it will be more of a dress-up affair with more importance con- nected to it. In his superintendent’s report, Morehart said that 215 kids partic- ipated in the annual Philip AAU Wrestling Tournament, February 18. He guessed that 500-600 people attended total. “They all pitched in, cleaned the bleachers, great effort,” said Morehart. The elementary parent/teacher conferences had 98 percent turn out. Deep Creek coun- try student will be losing one stu- dent because of a family moving away, reducing the attendance down to four students. The city of Philip has invited school board members to attend the city’s board of equalization meeting, Monday, March 18, at 4:00 p.m. in the commissioner’s room. Schools do not pay property taxes, but do benefit from them. The next scheduled board of ed- ucation meeting will be at 7:00 p.m., Monday, March 18, in room A-1 of the Philip High School. Haakon Board of Education approves 2013-2014 calendar ganization.” Glenn Parsons and Slovek both had closing comments. Parsons suggested the local organization work with the Philip Chamber of Commerce to construct a public restroom area in downtown Philip. He is looking for feedback on the idea of such a comfortable, visitor- oriented public area. Slovek agreed that the federation wants to put its dues and funds to a good, local use. In South Dakota, there is one state bureau, two regions – West River and East River, seven dis- tricts and 44 organized counties (some of which include more than one county). The federation’s web- site is www.sdfbf.org.

by Senator Jim BradfordDistrict 27

It’s hard to believe but week sixof the S.D. 2013 Legislature hasended with 24 days out of 38 daysession completed. February 20marks the cross-over day which isthe point in time where all billsmust be completed in their house oforigin and travel to the other leg-islative body. We have very fullagendas both in committees and onthe floor as this deadline quicklyapproaches. I serve on the Senate Health andJudiciary Committees but I alsospent most of one morning thisweek listening to the Senate Ap-propriations Committee. Theywere scheduled to hear a wide va-riety of bills on school funding andI’m always interested in that dis-cussion. I thought I’d use thisweek’s column to share some infor-mation on this vital topic. The good news for South Dakotaschools is that they continue togrow. This school year, there were1,700 more students than last year.Next school year (2013-14) we areprojected to grow by another 1,600students. The challenge thatgrowth imposes affects both localschool districts and state govern-ment as we attempt to direct re-sources towards our schools. Some

schools, especially in more remoterural areas, would love to have this“problem” as they are more likelyto see declining enrollment. School funding is certainly mytop priority as a legislator. Unfor-tunately, this important decision istypically made towards the veryend of the session. We know thatschools are struggling to make upfor the budget cuts of past years.You’ve heard many of the numbersbefore. We are dead last in averageteacher salary. Perhaps even worsenews is that the gap behind #49(North Dakota) continues to widen.North Dakota’s average teachernow makes close to $7,000 morethan the average South Dakotateacher. Wyoming does even betterand in the western part of ourstate, we have already seen some ofour best and brightest teachers gothere, whether they are new collegegrads or experienced teachers.Even the statistics gathered whichadjust for cost of living differencesstill put South Dakota at the verybottom when compared to ourneighbors. As more of our teachingworkforce nears retirement, howmuch longer can we really afford tocontinue with business as usual? Any piece of legislation which re-quires an appropriation of fundsmust go through the Appropria-

tions Committee. Issues may firstbe heard for testimony and policyconsiderations in another commit-tee, but eventually makes theirway to Appropriations when anytax dollars are attached. In thecase of school funding, often thesebills go to the House or Senate Ed-ucation Committees and then arereferred to Appropriations. Theday I attended this committee, Feb-ruary 13, the Senate Appropria-tions Committee listened to six dif-ferent school funding bills. All billsare being deferred to a later date asAppropriators await the RevenueEstimates which are scheduled tobe presented by the S.D. Depart-ment of Revenue during the lastweek of February. Day after day,the appropriators hear requests formoney from the General Fund, andmust eventually make recommen-dations to the House and Senate asto where we place our priorities. Every project in the state wantsmoney for a wide variety of proj-ects. Will we put our schools first inline or wait until the very end ofthe line and give them the left-overs? Let’s hope this session wecan start to make up for the bigcuts we’ve taken in the past andhave yet to make up, even in part. I invite you to contact me withyour questions and concerns onthese topics or any of interest toyou. I may be reached at 605-685-4241 or [email protected].

Elizabeth May Well another busy week! Due tothe snow storm Monday sessionwas cancelled and we met on Fri-day for a make-up day. HB1151 extended the generalimmunity from liability for direc-tors and officers of certain non-profit fire and ambulance depart-ments and to limit certain actionsfor personal injury or death. Thisbill will ensures our local voluntaryfiremen and EMT providers willnot be held responsible for acci-dents going to emergencies in pri-vate vehicle. HB1128 was brought to the floorto allow home school students theopportunity to participate in theOpportunity Scholarship program.After debate on the floor the bill didnot pass with a vote of 35 yeas and35 nays. South Dakota non-govern-ment funded schools save taxpay-ers $128,985,528 with 16,639 stu-

Legislative Updatesdents enrolled in over 97 non gov-ernment schools. The SouthDakota Department of Educationexpenditures per average dailymember, 2011-2012 school yearwas a statewide average cost perstudent was $7,752 and this costdoes not include capital expendi-tures and bond redemption. I votedto pass HB1128 feeling stronglythat all students are part of SouthDakota and saying other wise ishypocritical. HB1135 was a highly con-tentious bill that caused a lot of de-bate on the floor. It regulates ac-cess to and use of non-meanderedwaters on private property. S.D.Wild Life Federation and the S.D.Game Fish & Parks were highlyopposed to this bill. It is the resultof flooding in the northeast part ofthe state in the past few years. Weheard testimony from land ownersthat corn fields were being dam-aged by sportsmen and concernsabout the safety of their self andprivate property was in question. Iconfer with the V Amendment ofthe U.S. Constitution that reads,”No person shall be deprived of life,liberty, or property, without dueprocess of law; nor shall privateproperty be taken for public use,without just compensation.” Hadthe S.D. Wild Life Federation orS.D. Game Fish & Parks asked forpermission to carry out huntingand fishing on private property andallowed compensation to the landowner either through tax relief orhunting fees I think this could ofbeen settled. The problem has beenon going for nine years with no ac-tion. It passed the floor with a 37yeas and 32 nays. HB1089 an act to requirestatewide livestock ownership in-spection was brought to the com-mittee by Rep. Dean Schrempp. Hestated his ongoing concern with thelack of inspections that are beingconducted. Currently there is nobrand inspection East River. Lastyear there were only 11 inspectionsof livestock crossing the river andeight inspections the year before.S.D. Department of Agriculture,National Cattlemen's Beef Associ-ation, Farm Bureau and S.D. Live-stock Markets all came out in oppo-sition to this bill stating it was costprohibitive. After considerable de-bate was heard it passed on to thefloor by a vote of seven yeas and sixnays. I feel strongly that state widebrand inspection would help withthe on going problem of livestockbeing transported across the riverwithout proper documentation of

ownership and curb livestockrustling. I argued that agricultureis South Dakota’s number one in-dustry and we need to look at allpossible steps to protect the live-stock producer. HB1187 also was to provide al-ternative brand inspection proce-dures for certain rodeo livestock.This bill was brought to the com-mittee by Rep. Heinert. It wouldput in place a permanent brand in-spection for rodeo company’s thatare moving livestock to differentareas of the state on a regularbasis. It passed out of committeewith 13 yeas and zero nays. This week we were entertainedwith a banquet by the IndependentCommunity Bankers of SouthDakota Association. I have to saythat the information I came awaywith was enlightening to say theleast. I want to leave you withsome facts that I’m sure many peo-ple are not aware off. Thirty-ninepercent is the effective tax rate ofmost South Dakota Banks, 2.32percent is the effective tax rate ofFarm Credit Services in SouthDakota, 0.00% is the effective taxrate of all S.D. Federal CreditUnions, $89,386,262 is the total in-come of Credit Union’s and Farm

Credit Services in 2011,$21,735,593 is what the S.D. Gen-eral Fund did not receive over thelast six years from not collectingthe six percent Bank FranchiseTax from Credit Unions and FarmCredit Services. As regulationsbears down on community banksand small towns lose access to fi-nancial services I have to wonderwhy Congress continue’s to allowexpansion of tax exempt entities atthe expense of the taxpayers. Asthese entities expand tax revenuecoming into the state general fundwill continue to decline which willdirectly effect our schools, roadsand government services. As always, you can contact me atthe House Chamber number 773-3851. Leave a phone number andI’ll call you back. The fax numberis 773-6806. If you send a fax, ad-dress it to Rep.

Bad apples ... by Del Bartels

One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel. For one thing, do apples

come in barrels anymore? I understand that sensationalism drives the

national media. The evening news barely, if at all, covers a peaceful

demonstration of 200 or more people. If that event had one idiot who

got arrested for disorderly conduct, then the group is labeled as a ri-

otous mob. A sports broadcaster can, by embellishing every foul and

stumble, make a great game sound far rougher than it was.

On the other side of the coin, people don’t care about, or don’t speak

up for, the 199 peaceful demonstrators, or the true sportsmanship dis-

played during 99 percent of the game. My glasses are not rose-colored

(mostly because I prefer blue), but I do tend to notice all the crisp, juicy

apples in the barrel, and ignore the soft, brown one.

I recently got into a discussion about Facebook. I accept that I have

to try to ignore the few abuses that happen on it. Who cares if someone

just got back on after taking a bathroom break? Yet, returning from

visiting your new grandchild, with three or four dozen photos, is great.

I cannot get excited about the challenges of Farmville or whatever, like

I am sure others cannot get excited about a Sicilian opening during a

chess tournament. Some people learned to count, add and calculate

percentages by playing blackjack, but it’s the few gamble-holics that

give cards a bad name. Most teenagers show tremendous courtesy and

maturity, yet why does society label them as delinquent, hot-rodding

partiers? If society as a whole really did abuse social programs, cheat

on their taxes, take illicit drugs, lie to their boss, cheat on their spouse,

ignore their old parents and young children, and despise their non-

WASP neighbors, then Americans would be as the news and soup op-

eras depict us. (Ask your parents what a WASP is.)

My only complaint that might stand up to scrutiny is that I wish peo-

ple would learn a little bit about the apple barrel before they reach in

feeling around for the bad apple. Don’t complain about “pink slime” as

you are eating a hot dog. Don’t protest for animal rights and vegetari-

anism as you are eating a fish sandwich and walking around in leather

sandals. Every anti-gun enthusiast should spend an hour on the firing

range, talk for an hour to convicted muggers and rapists, and talk to

insurance adjusters about auto/deer accidents. Every person who lives

in a metropolitan area should work for a month in Smalltown, and

country folks should live in a big city for a while. I should probably use

Facebook for awhile.

I cannot walk for a mile in everybody else’s’ shoes, but I can strive to

at least walk beside the other person for a few minutes. Some outlooks

will not change for me, and maybe shouldn’t. There is a saying that a

white glove stuck in the mud does not make the mud glovey. But, at

least I might be better able to determine that a bad apple is indeed not

the entire barrel. Maybe I’ll even put up with Facebook.

fungicide Seed treatmentsfor Spring Wheat

Fungicide seed treatments areused when planting many agricul-tural crops and are helpful in pro-moting stand establishment andseedling vigor. Seed treatmentsalso help preserve yield potentialand prevent quality losses in grainby preventing certain seed andsoil-borne diseases. There are many pathogensfound in the soil which causeseedling diseases and contribute tothe root/crown rot complex inwheat. The root/crown rot complexcan include one or more of the dis-eases, Common Root Rot, Fusar-ium Root Rot, Take-All, Rhizocto-nia Root Rot, and Pythium RootRot. These pathogens are alwayspresent in the soil at some level,waiting to take advantage of slowgermination, slow early develop-ment, and unfavorable environ-ment for wheat seedlings. Thesepathogens have similar symptomsand can cause poor overall healthand vigor of the plant. These dis-eases often result in thin, unevenstands, spindly stalks, smallspikes, empty/white heads,stunted plants, weak early growth,yellowing of foliage, and reducedyield and quality. The primary recommendationto avoid the effects of theroot/crown rot complex is a diversecrop rotation which includes one ormore broadleaf crops. The properchoice of fungicide seed treatmentscan also help protect the youngseedlings and get them off to agood start.

Loose Smut and Common Bunt(also known as stinking smut) ap-pear in some wheat fields everyyear. These are two pathogens forwhich proper fungicide seed treat-ments are very effective. It isstrongly believed that Loose Smutand Common Bunt could be virtu-ally eliminated if all wheat produc-ers used recommended seed treat-ments. In general, seed treatments: aidin managing the biotic stresses,are effective only days to weeks(although new chemistry is prom-ising longer periods of protection),are used as the principal insuranceagainst pests, and help the seedand seedlings make it to the stagewhen they can make their own en-ergy (get the seed up and out of theground). Utilizing a seed treatmentbuilds the foundation for a healthyplant. Healthy roots are the firststep to building the yield potentialyou desire. Without that strongbase, your yield potential is lim-ited from the start and all other in-puts become less valuable.Healthy seedling development pro-motes good stands and greateryield potential. Seed treatment has been andcontinues to be a very economicand effective disease managementtool in South Dakota wheat pro-duction.

Remember mad cow disease? Madcow disease first appeared in theUnited Kingdom (UK) in 1986, nocase had ever been diagnosed priorto that. The peak number of casesoccurred in 1992 when the UK wasdiagnosing more than 1,500 case aweek in cattle; overall more than180,000 cases were diagnosed. In 1995, a new type of humanbrain disease named variantCreutzfeldt – Jakob disease (vCJD)emerged. This led to the hypothesisthat mad cow disease caused vCJD.More than 150 cases of vCJD werediagnosed in the UK over the courseof 10 years. If you do the math, thatis one case of vCJD per three millionservings of beef. The risk was verylow, but scary none the less. The big question in all of this washow did the cows develop mad cowdisease in the first place? The pre-dominant theory was that a similardisease in sheep, sheep scrapie, wascausing it. Almost all dead animalsin the UK were taken to a rendererand boiled down, and then the ani-mal protein was fed back to the live-stock. In the 1960s and 1980schanges were made to the renderingprocess which in theory allowed thedisease agent to survive and bepassed on to cows. Two doctors in the UK, Alan andNancy Colchester, challenged thistheory because, to them it did notmake sense for several reasons: 1. Sheep scrapie has existed in theUK for 200 years. 2. Sheep remains have been fed tocattle for 70 years. 3. Changes in the renderingprocess did little to affect theamount of scrapie agent in the feed. 4. Feeding scrapie infected sheep

brains to cattle had not producedmad cows. 5. Protein analysis of sheepscrapie and mad cow disease showdifferent profiles. 6. Injecting sheep scrapie and madcow disease into genetically modifiedmice produced different brain le-sions. So, if the disease did not comefrom sheep, where did it come from? The Colchesters looked for otherprominent sources of animal protein.They discovered that during the1960s and 1970s the UK importedhundreds of thousands of tons ofwhole and crushed bones and animalprotein from India. Here is where the story getscreepy, the animal protein comingout of India tested positive forhuman remains. The two doctors investigated theIndian culture and discovered thatHindus believe it is essential fortheir remains after death to be dis-posed of in a river, preferably theGanges. An important local trade forpeasants is collection of bones andcarcasses for the manufacturing ofmeat and bone meal. This includesthe collection of human cadavers. In2004, a group of volunteers cam-paigning to reduce river pollution re-trieved 60 human corpses in twodays from a 10 km stretch of theGanges. that is one corpse every10th of a mile for six miles! Further investigation showed thatIndia has an incidence of 150 natu-rally occurring human CJD casesper year. Since India is 80 percentHindu that means 120 CJD cadav-ers end up in the river annually. TheColchesters estimated that a singlehuman cadaver could potentially in-

fect between 150 and 300 cattle.Consequently, the Colchesteres haveproposed a theory that mad cow dis-ease came from infected human re-mains imported from India windingup in animal protein supplement. Tests will need to be done to proveor disprove this theory. The stepstaken to prevent any more mad cowdisease have proven successful, butfor the wrong reason. We stoppedfeeding animal protein to all live-stock because we thought the sourcewas rendered sheep and cattle whenit may actually have been human re-mains fed to cattle and then cattlefed back to humans. I would like to propose another the-ory. Cattle and humans weren’t theonly species affected by mad cow dis-ease. Cats got it, too. Fifty to 75 catswere diagnosed with mad cow dis-ease during the outbreak. Were thecats eating beef or was the samesource of protein used in the produc-tion of pet food? What’s scary is that humans eatpet food. Toddlers will readily sitdown at the dog dish when no one islooking. Also, pet food contains a lotof salt. This is not because pets likesalt, but because people like salt. Petfood companies know that petowner’s sometimes taste their pet’sfood to see if it is any good, thereforesalt is added to please the owners.The pets couldn’t care less. So, my theory is that anothersource of vCJD could in fact be directhuman consumption of human ca-davers via pet food. I know, GROSS!Could this possibly explain how fivevegetarians acquired vCJD? The Center for Disease Control ac-tually has a web page for zombieapocalypse preparedness. I thinkthey should be looking into this.

Zombie A(cow)calypseJames D. Stangle DVM

It has been nearly seven yearssince Kenneth has been gone and ithas been a never ending job of sort-ing out things to keep or throwaway. If the kids don’t want it orknow someone else who wants it, ithas to go. There are things herefrom Kenneth’s folks that have novalue or of importance to keep. Then you run into those thingsthat you did not even know existed.Some of it goes back to 1906, a lotof years of accumulation. Well, any-way, I am getting there, I think. Inreading some of Kenneth’s old di-aries, that he wrote every day, helisted every piece of machinery thatwas ever bought and when theywere overhauled, when the oil waschanged in each one, what hepayed for them, what they weresold for when traded in, how manybushels of grain was planted and inwhich strip, and acre of ground. When his granddaughters wereborn, he usually had something tosay about each of them and whatthey were doing every day. As Iwas reading those diaries the otherday, he wrote about Carla Eide get-ting her first car to drive to highschool. He said that she came downto talk to him about it and was wor-ried that she might upset it on theCarstensen curve, as she had heardhow many others had done justthat. She did just fine and neverupset on that curve, but in lateryears she upset the blazer at thefoot of the Walker hill. He had thatdocumented also. Kenneth would tell each time thegirls came and brought him cake orcookies and called them care pack-ages. Which they did often throughthe years. After they were grown,they would bring him a gift and hewould always list it in his diary asa care package. I thought this item from hisdiary may be of some interest toour readers: Valentine’s Day 1989,snowed one inch and was 16˚.Carla and Christa spent the nightwith us as Marvin and Vicki wentto the hills snowmobiling with the

Morrisons. We got the first calfFebruary 16. March 2, 1989, we gotthree inches of snow. March 4, itwas 10˚ below zero and 10 inches ofsnow. On February 14, 1990,cloudy and snow, about eight de-grees above zero and on February26, 1990, the wind blew hard andwas moving the soil, otherwise1990 was a good year, but I had topump a lot of water. February 15, 1993, six inches ofsnow on the ground, only 10˚ abovezero. February 16, 1993, 10˚ belowzero. February 4, 1993, GovernorMickelson went down in his planeand the same day was the Waco,Texas, standoff. Set fire to thebuilding and a lot of lives were lost. In 1993, we got three cuttings ofalfalfa. The only year I can remem-ber we ever did this. March 4, 1994, melting snow andthe dams are all running out thespillways, 60˚ above zero. I lost agood friend and brother-in-law, BillOldenburg. I was reading where we drove toWhitewood to the dances at theWagon Wheel Hall. It was upstairsand about 10 or 12 couples wouldgo and take their kids along. Mar-vin Eide and Orrin Carstensenlearned to dance some of the olderdance steps there. It would be thewee hours of the morning when wegot home. Now when people are outall night, I wonder why they dosuch things. You don’t supposethey could have learned it fromtheir parents do you? Bill Gottsleben has been verybusy this week. He is lambing andcalving his heifers out. Wayne Schultz, who lives in theold Gottsleben house, has beengone to California to spend sometime with his brother, who livesnear Bakersfield, Calif. I have a new great-nephew.Tucker and Jesse Smith have anew baby boy. His name is MyerAllen and his little brother, Logan,thinks he is pretty nice and I won-der if he will want to give his mommuch help with the baby. Thismakes four grandchildren for Keithand Debbie, two girls and two boys.I will not give any details about thebaby as they will have a pictureand details later in the paper. In January, Mike and GretchenRausch moved their daughter,Annie Jo, and her family to Wasta.They have bought a house aboutthree blocks from Mike andGretchen, so they have their grand-children closer to enjoy now. AnnieJo has three boys. She has beenhome on maternity leave since thebaby was born, but returned towork Monday at the Wall DrugStore. Gretchen said she was not work-ing at Wall Drug when they hadthe basement flooded from a bro-ken water main, but said there wasabout four feet of water in the base-ment and the kitchen is still closeddue to equipment getting damaged.They are having a professionalcrew come in to help clean up themess and get it all back together.They want to get it done as soon aspossible as tourist season will soonbe here. Friday, Donna Newman and Di-

anne Parsons went to Rapid Cityand brought Shayla (Parsons) De-laney’s two boys home with them tospend some time with their grand-parents. Their dad, Jeremy, camedown and got them Sunday. Saturday, Peggy Staben, Mikeand Marcia West and Donna New-man all attended the open housefor Jerry Stilwell in Kadoka. Warren and Shirley Sweezycame to Donna Newman’s Satur-day and had dinner with her. Mikeand Debbie Clements were also outfor dinner and enjoyed visitingwith them. Sunday, February 17,Donna enjoyed dinner with GlennParsons prior to going to church. Marvin and Vicki Eide droveVicki’s mom, Rita Ramsey, PhyllisRamsey, and Mary Eide to RapidCity to watch Kiley Sieler play in abasketball tournament. Doug Ram-sey rode up to Rapid City with hisson, Chad, as Paulette was coach-ing a basketball team up there forthe tournament. Some went towatch both teams play. Christa,Brayden and Aven Fitch also at-tended to watch Kiley play. Kiley’steam won their first game 14 to 8and lost the second game to Philip’steam 14 to 19, which was coachedby RaeAnn Snyder. We all re-turned home and Doug rode backhome with us, as did Carla andTaegan. Kiley stayed in Rapid Citywith her teammates. Marvin,Vicki, Carla and Taegan returnedto Rapid City at 7:00 a.m. Sundaymorning for Kiley’s 9:00 a.m. game.Kiley’s team won this game, whichI think got them second place inthe tournament. Philip came homewith first place. I was bushed andjust stayed home to rest. I did gointo Philip Sunday to breakfast atthe senior citizen center. I enjoyed visiting with Martinand Vera Nelson, Dr. Dave Hol-man, D.J. Rush and family, BobMcDaniel, Emily Kroetch, Chuckand Kay Kroetch, and Don Carley.Some were talking about trips theyhad been on and others were talk-ing about their lives prior to mov-ing to Philip. I enjoyed listening tothe conversations, as it is nice toget to know people better. Youlearn what makes them tick and toknow their life was not always abed of roses and maybe it still isn’t.

Boyd Waara came in alone andsaid that Jeannie was home nurs-ing a bad cold. John and ArnisKnutson were just arriving as Iwas leaving. You need to just sitdown and listen to others and youwill learn that the world hastreated you pretty good. I made an appointment to meetwith Bob McDaniel to get my in-come tax done. I usually had to goto Rapid City, but as I don’t do thefarm income anymore, there is noneed to go there. Marvin takes careof all the farm taxes now. The Philip AAU wrestlers werein Kadoka for a tournament Sun-day, February 17, and were also inanother one in Philip, February 18,President’s Day. I attended thetournament in Philip. Keagan andJensen placed first in Kadoka andColby placed second. It is nicewhen we are unable to attend, thatChrista texts us to let us know howthe boys are doing. I enjoyed visiting with Jan Wine-gar at the Rapid City basketballgames. Jan and Bill’s granddaugh-ter was also playing ball. Jan toldme that she was retiring from herjob in July of this year. I asked herwhat she planned on doing then?She said that she planned to do alot of volunteer work for herchurch. She said that will keep herpretty busy. You have to be careful on ourroads, especially on the curves, asit has been so dry and it is hard tokeep the washboard out on them.The road graders are not able to getdecent dirt to fill them in with.Then of course, at night you haveto watch out for the black cattlethat have crawled out to nip at thegrass in the road ditches. They arelooking for grass, as the pasturesare all grazed off so close. The cat-tle are hard to see after dark. Peo-ple are worried about seeing deer,but they are easier to see than ablack critter. John and Arnis Knutson stayedhome and worked on Valentine’sDay, then went to Rapid City Feb-ruary 15 where they purchasedsome new furniture. They also metArnis’s sister, Gayle and RalphMatz for supper. (Arnis said that

*** Friday, February 8, 2013, atSomerset Court, we had musicwith Skeeter. Thanks, Skeeter, forcoming to sing our old favorites. We played a lot of whist beforelunch. Playing cards were JimHolmes, Shirley Hodgson, IreneCox and Vivian. Then Irene C. leftto play rummi-cube with Addie andSandy and Marcella came to takeJim’s place. In the afternoon ses-sion, there was a table of quiddlerwith Mary Lou, Susan and uniden-tified others. There was also an-other table of whist being played.You can see I was a little fuzzythere. M.R. Hansen printed off a 100 ofCrystal Jackson’s cards of Virgil’sWall Drug coffee still 5¢ cards forme. He explained that I only needto write one a day and they wouldlast around three months. Some Somerset Court residentsare in the hospital. We sent ourlove. There are three persons thatI know of, Bill Lutz, Fred Ross, andRay Kraemer. (A late notice, oursympathy to the family of BillLutz.) Alberta (Bert) Schneider is a newresident at Somerset Court. Sheused to be a courthouse official inCuster, but has been in Rapid Cityfor four years. She gets her hairdone at Sandy (Hart) Staples, whogrew up in Kadoka and has Philiproots. I weighed 102 pounds on thenurse’s station scale, February 8,2013. The February 5, 2013, RapidCity Journal had an article abouttaxes. Even those who can afford tosend their children to privateschools, benefit from public schools.We need a good education foreveryone. The February 8, 2013, RapidCity Journal carried the obituary ofIda (Fosheim) Hunt. She was anoutstanding Midland citizen. Vale-

dictorian of her high school class,mother of 10 sons and eight daugh-ters. She was active in the MidlandLutheran church; Midland newscorrespondent for the Philip Pio-neer Review and the Pierre CapitolJournal in the years 1967-2002. At Somerset Court February 9,we had quilting with Sandy. Sandyhad some suggestions for somevery pretty quilt designs for the up-coming Somerset Court auction inJune. Annette, Vivian, and Eileensewed and Irene Cox cut blocks.Addie arranged fabrics. Sandyironed and laid out blocks andbrought brownies and ice water.Charlie and Marcella and Johnstopped in for sociability. Therewas also a table of whist beingplayed at the same time. M.R.Hansen came for scrabble and wefound that quern is a hand heldgrain grinder. M.R. brought me areprint of a great photo of JeanBurns and me at the GrindstoneWomen’s Club Christmas dinner atthe Bad River Senior Citizen’s Cen-ter a few years ago, when Jeangave me an amaryllis kit. Thankyou, M.R. I still have that shirt andit is as good as ever. Juanita Denke Mair, Mt. View,Wyo., (M.R. Hansen’s niece) saidthat she would contribute to theM.R. Hansen endowment fund. Heplans to use his unused SouthDakota School of Mines and Tech-nology sick leave pay to set up afund. He will match the contribu-tions up to $20,000. Each contribu-tor will receive a beautifully etchedglass, stemware or tumbler, as atoken of appreciation. M.R.’s sister,Carol, and her husband have con-tributed to the endowment fund.The fund would be used for thebenefit of SDSM&T. The names ofthe donors will be included on amemorial plaque. February 9, Rapid City Journal’sLos Angeles Times crossword puz-zle had the clue of “Holy Day com-memorating the purification of theVirgin Mary.” Google says it iscalled Candlemas, and is exactly 40days after Christmas Eve, or Feb-ruary 2. Looking back at February 6when I included some Grindstonenews from 1936. I forgot who“Hump” was. Was he ProsperHumbert. (Prosper was usuallyknow as “Pros.”) Marilyn Butts contributed an in-teresting article from a recent Ar-mour newspaper. It is about thestained glass windows in the SouthDakota State Capitol at Pierre.You can read it in the SomersetCourt scrapbook on the coffee tableby the fireplace. Sunday, February 10, 2013, atSomerset Court, we had a littlesnow and a lot of wind. It was astrong front, and it gave me achesand pains. I heard that I-90 wasclosed from Wyoming to Spearfishand from Wall to I-29 at SiouxFalls. We had church with Rev.Richardson and he said the streetsare treacherous and we should stayin if possible. Attending serviceswere Floy, Marilyn B., Marge S.,Marilyn O., Virginia Grey, Don S.,Lucille H., Eileen T., Annette H.,and Vivian Hansen. Jack Humkeplayed the piano and we sang“There Shall Be Showers of Bless-ings,” “I Would Be True,” “Love Di-vine, All Love Excelling,” and Great Is Thy Faithfulness.”Thanks, Rev. Richardson and JackHumke. Our minister’s theme wasmiracles. He said that 49 miracles

are mentioned in the Old Testa-ment and 55 in the New Testa-ment. Sometimes in the Old Testa-ment, God would show his power tolet people know that He was God.Jesus always gave God the creditfor His miracles. We have the mir-acle of the gift of life. The spark oflife is a bit of God’s power. We cantalk to God. Which is talking toourselves and asking if we aredoing our best in following our in-structions to the best of our ability.Our instructions are to love one an-other and obey the 10 command-ments. We can ask for favors, andGod will say “Yes,” “No,” or “Notright now.” After church we played a lot ofwhist with Ina, Jim and Eleanor,and Irene A., and quiddler withIrene C., Mary Lou, Addie and Vi-vian. M.R. came for scrabble andwe found a new word we had neverheard of: weber, a unit of magneticflux. M.R. had encountered it in aphysics class. We opened the jar ofpickles that Melissa had made andbrought and we agreed that theywere fine dill pickles. Thanks,Melissa and Breck. We only likedills with hamburgers, so we willhave them ready. The amaryllisthat Wayne and Gwynn gave mebefore Christmas has sent up anew stalk, which grows visibly dayby day. February 10 it was 13inches tall. I will keep you posted. By evening, the weather frontwas past and I felt a lot better. February 12, Tuesday, MardiGras! (Remember that Mardi Grasmonkey business, last year we hada cake and in the cake was a babydoll about an inch and a half long,Whoever got the slice with the babyin it got to be king or queen of theMardi Gras, with a crown and all.) Monday at crafts with Amy, wemade Mardi Gras masks. Shawnand Sandy were there to help. Wehad scratch-off forms and we coulddesign our own. Some very attrac-tive masks were created. We tookphotos. Floy, Eileen, Marcella,Marilyn O., Marilyn B., Marge Self,Fred, Mildred Young and herhelper, Kay, Mary Lou and Vivianmade masks. Thank you to AmyVoles, who is a volunteer. Besidescrafts, and sometimes exercises,she puts out new word search puz-zles and checks our completed puz-zles, and give us Somerset bucks. The Somerset Court movie wasthe first half of the old favorite,“Gone With the Wind.” A biggercrowd than usual attended themovie. It is just the way I remem-bered it from long ago. Powerfuland with many vivid scenes such asthe wartime destruction, and theinjured soldiers. It is a movie thatsticks in your mind. We hope to seethe other half Monday, February18. My son, David K. Hansen, Ft.Pierre, had a bit of good luck lastweek. He had been trenching andlaying pipe in the far north end ofthe Triple U Buffalo Ranch north ofPierre. He had laid some 6,000 feetand just finished, loaded out, be-fore the snowstorm hit. (And heonly works half days, if you con-sider that 12 hours is half a 24hour day!) My niece, Wanda, and husbandEd Artz, Humboldt, sent a nicepackage, which came today. Therewas a cute valentine, photos ofSheridan and children and EmilyHansen, a crossword puzzle book,and a lovely journal book to writein. Thank you, Wanda and Ed. Iphoned to say thank you, and wevisited for a while. Wanda has beenbusy sewing a baby blanket for aMeyer cousin’s new great-grand-baby and crocheting a cap and mit-tens. Wanda knitted a stocking capand plans to crochet mittens tomatch.

In the Somerset Court diningroom is a poster reminding us tovote for our favorite St. Valentine’sking and queen. They do not haveto be a married couple. Tuesday, February 12, 2013, atSomerset Court we had the activityof goofy golf. Thank you to Sandyand Susan for picking up balls andkeeping score. Those playing wereFred, Marge, S., Irene McK., Floy,Virginia, Denise, Mildred Y., andKay, Marilyn B., Eileen, Marcella,Myrna, and Vivian. Mildred wonone game and Vivian the other. Wereceived generous Somerset Bucksfor playing and for winning. Somerset Court resident LoisSchulz’ son, Steve, visited her atlunch February 12. The chefs at Somerset Courtwent all out to give us a cajunluncheon for Mardi Gras. They hadshrimp creole, crab cakes, redbeans with rice, okra, and corn onthe cob. Tuesday bingo winners wereMary K., Fred, Viv twice, Blanchetwice, Agnes and Florabelle. Di-rectly after bingo we had the an-nual Somerset Court Mardi Grasparty. Our chef, P.J., made a beau-tifully decorated cake, (We tookphotos.) and in the cake was a oneinch plastic baby doll. FlorabellePowell was the Somerset Court res-ident who found the “baby” in herpiece of cake, so she won the title ofqueen of the Mardi Gras, and a bigcolorful sun hat and a supersizednecklace of bright beads. All theresidents were provided withmasks and shiny beads, so it was afestive occasion. The new Somerset Court resi-dent in apartment 329 is EvalynnMcHenry. She had been fromWessington Springs. The Rapid City Journal for Feb-ruary 11 has a photo of JamieHagan, who used to be SomersetCourt’s head chef. Jamie nowworks at Cornerstone Rescue Mis-sion. Conerstone has recently up-graded their kitchen facilities. Thank you to my daughter, Vin-nie Hansen, Santa Cruz, Calif.,who sent a pretty valentine. Shehad won $50 in a Santa Cruz read-ing contest, two readings, and to bepublished on their website. Theyare reading Steinbeck and Vinniefeels that Steinbeck is better suitedto a mature readership than tohigh school age group. Thursday, February 14, happyValentine’s Day. Deliver a few lov-ing greetings in person. During lastweek, I received several prettyvalentines. One from my daughter,Carol, one from daughter Vinnie. Abirthday card from Sharon Coyle,Philip, including her family Christ-mas letter and photos. Thank you,Sharon. It was good to see all yourwonderful kids and grandkids.When Rocky and Chris lived atHansen Court, their kids came overand we made their mark on thewall of the front porch where all mykids and grandkids have theirheights measured. At Somerset Court on February14, we were scheduled to have ex-ercises, Wii bowling, cards, JoyfulGuys and Gals, social, Mass, andresident’s special Somerset CourtSt. Valentine’s dinner. We were tovote on our favorite Valentine kingand queen. My son, Wayne, who spends thewinter in Rancho Palos Verdes,Calif., came to Rapid City for aweek on business. His plane wasdelayed on February 12, and hewas rerouted through Denver,where he spent a tiresome time. Hearrived in Rapid City late in theevening, so he went directly to hishouse in west Rapid City. He cameto Somerset Court on the 13th forlunch, and then at supper, Wayne,M.R. and Barbara came over.

The family of Bill Lutz had a get-together in the activity garden atSomerset Court on the evening ofFebruary 13. February 13, at Somerset Courtwe played a lot of whist and quid-dler. Marge Self, Marilyn Butts,Sandy, and maybe others, had agood game of pool. Here is a couple weeks from Pa’s(Rolla Palmer’s) 1911 journal. Feb-ruary 8, 1911. Took children toschool. Went to Grindstone. Pfeif-fer went with me. The 9th. Tookthe children to school. Sorted pota-toes. Phil (Doughty) and Eby cameand got five bushels.

Went to Deep Creek,got a load of lumber from PhilDoughty and bought his wagon.February 14. Phil fetched thewagon over. I started to build addi-tion to the house. 1911 was a dreadfully dry yearin western South Dakota. Thatyear my parents spent the monthof September visiting relatives ineastern South Dakota, around Het-land and Badger. Then they wentto Brinnon, Wash., and rented a lit-tle house for the winter, near mymother’s mother and stepfather,and Pa’s cousin, John Palmer. On St. Valentine’s Day, at Som-erset Court, we had entertainmentof the Joyful Guys and Gals fromCanyon Lake Senior Citizen Cen-ter. There is a big group of themand we always enjoy them verymuch. They looked sharp dressedin white shirts, blue vests, rednecklaces or red bow ties. Thankyou for coming to sing for us. Theirsongs were selected starting on a“love” theme: “I Want a Girl JustLike the Girl Who Married DearOld Dad,” “Ain’t She Sweet?” “LetMe Call You Sweetheart,” “TrueLove,” “Love and Marriage.” Thenthe theme turned to U.S. Historywith “Yankee Doodle,” “You’re aGrand Old Flag,” “I’ll Fly Away,”“America the Beautiful,” “Faith ofOur Fathers,” “Let There Be Peaceon Earth and Let It Begin WithMe.” Thanks to our activity direc-tors for the social hour after themusic, with refreshments of choco-

late brownies with coconut frost-ing. We also elected our 2013 St.Valentine’s Day king and queen,Charlie and Joanne Hathaway,who received crowns, our warmwishes, and gifts of big cuddlyteddy bears and boxes of choco-lates. The St. Valentine’s Day din-ner (evening meal) at decorated ta-bles, treated us to New York stripsteaks. Paul Lupkes, whose wife, Gladyssings with the group, was in theaudience. He has spoken at ournon-denominational church meet-ings. You remember when Carol andAl Vogan were here, we went toWall Drug? Well that artist wemet, Mary Jo Van Dell, Stillwater,Minn., wrote me a letter on a pieceof antique paper. My sons, Wayneand M.R., and M.R.’s wife, Bar-bara, who were here visiting, ad-mired Mary Jo’s beautiful hand-writing. I shall treasure that letter.Mary Jo said she enjoyed WallDrug and especially their fine col-lection of art work. She waspleased to see a painting done by afriend of hers, Jack Roberts. Shewould like to hear more aboutSouth Dakota lore. Is anyone missing an almost newPhilip, S.D., horizons shoppingbag? One was found on third floorhere at Somerset Court and since Iam frm Philip, it was given to me. Friday, February 15, at Somer-set Court, we had fun with the ac-tivity of wheel of fortune. Thankyou to Susan and Sandy for writingup the puzzles and for passing thespinner and keeping track. Some ofthe puzzles were quite entertain-ing. Somerset Court resident, PatStaley, had a visit Friday, Febru-ary 15, fromher sister, Joan Craig,Spearfish. My daughter, Vinnie, sent me anewspaper clipping from the SanFrancisco Chronicle andSFGATE.com about the number ofcentenarians growing in theUnited States. It contains the storyof 100-year-old Molly Greenberg,Oakland, Calif. She lives in an as-sisted living facility there. She saysbesides good genes, that longevityis partly due to her rules: Don’tsmoke, don’t overeat, and don’tdrink too much. She joins three ex-ercise classes each week, she readsbooks and does paintings. Shedoesn’t care for computer. Sheprefers personal contact.

Identity Thief (R)

Greetings from cold, windy, snowand ice covered Salem, S.D. I amvisiting our daughter, Jennifer,having fun doing some projects ather home. Her husband, Ross, is at-tending meetings in Washington,D.C., this week, so us "girls" arecanning some meat and doing somepainting and enjoying our time to-gether. So if this news seems a lit-tle rushed and disjointed, it proba-bly is. I'm hurrying to get back tofun with Jen! I think it is also cold on RobbsFlat – I'll be back home tomorrow,hopefully ahead of the snow that isforecast for the state. After a gor-geous, warm weekend, Mother Na-ture is letting us know that winterisn't over yet. My garden is grow-ing, though! By garden, I mean myromaine lettuce – the one where Istuck the base of the romaine headin some water after using the let-tuce. It is growing, and I have usedseveral lettuce leaves on sand-wiches. However, it doesn't appearthat it is going to produce enoughlettuce for Randy and I to have asalad. Jennifer has a lettuce gar-den growing on her window sillabove her sink – four romaineheads, growing pretty fast andadding a nice, springy touch to thekitchen. It is amazing how a littleshot of green can brighten yourday! A couple of weeks ago, the beau-tiful weather gave me the opportu-nity to hang sheets on the line andwash a few windows. The sheetswere so crisp and fresh, and thewindows were much improved.Those few days of nice weather re-ally help make the winter seem alittle shorter. I guess we'll deal

with the snow and cold, because weknow spring is another day closer.I haven't started planning my veg-etable garden, but some of myfriends have ordered their specialtyseeds and are getting ready to startplanting. Bunky Boger called fromFlorida the other day, and hetalked about all the wonderful,fresh produce they were enjoying.It made me even more ready forspring. But now on to the news so I canget back to visiting with our daugh-ter. Dick and Gene Hudson are get-ting rested up from their recenttrip. Gene taught at CheyenneSchool for her daughter, ConnieJohnson, Wednesday and Thurs-day of last week, because Conniehad the stomach flu that has beengoing around. Dick was busy doingchores while his son-in-law, Jon,was gone to Wheaton, Minn. Genesaid she is continuing to work onsorting and labeling photos, whichis definitely a wintertime project. Billy and Arlyne Markwed werein town Wednesday to do theirtaxes. While in Pierre, they alsovisited with Aunt Alice Jeitz. Sat-urday evening, Duane and LolaRoseth were supper guests at theMarkwed home. Sunday, Arlyneand great-grandson Kyler attendedchurch while the rest of the crewwas doing some freeze branding. As I mentioned earlier, JonJohnson spent part of the week vis-iting friends and relatives in Min-nesota, and Connie spent part ofthe week dealing with the flu. Evi-

by Senator John thune In a rural state like SouthDakota where access to specializedmedical care can be hours away,residents depend on critical accesshospitals to help meet their healthcare needs. However, an increasing numberof rural hospitals are finding it dif-ficult to recruit physicians to theseunder served areas of the country.For small hospitals with only a fewphysicians, current federal lawsand regulations require regular on-call shifts that prevent a physicianfrom leaving town. This is alifestyle that many younger doctorsare not interested in pursuingwhen urban settings can offer moreflexible career options. Federal regulations for somerural hospitals currently require aphysician to be on-call and able toarrive to the emergency depart-ment within 30 minutes, even if anassociate provider, such as a nursepractitioner or physician assistant,is already covering the emergencydepartment. For physicians insmall hospitals who see patients allday and then must be on call atnight, this creates a “24/7” work en-vironment that can be unattractiveto physicians and unnecessarilydrives up the costs of health care. However, by utilizing technologythat is already available in hospi-tals across South Dakota and thecountry, there is a solution thatboth improves emergency care andcreates a work environment thatcan make it easier to recruit physi-cians to rural areas.

I recently introduced theStrengthening Rural Access toEmergency Services Act that, ifpassed, would allow eligible hospi-tals in rural and medically under-served areas to use interactive tele-health programs that can connectat any hour of the day to a boardcertified emergency physician tosatisfy the federal emergency roomstaffing requirements. This use ofemergency telehealth technology inthis capacity would be permittedwhen an associate provider, suchas a physician assistant or nursepractitioner, is already on site atthe rural emergency room. Often, small rural hospitals arenot prepared to deal with complexpatients and will sometimes needto transfer patients to larger, spe-cialized hospitals. Immediate ac-cess to a physician that specializes

in emergency medicine via tele-health can help the rural hospitaldetermine whether a transfer isnecessary. This ensures that pre-cious time is not lost waiting forthe on-call physician to arrive. Italso benefits the hospital ensuringthat, when appropriate, the patientcan remain at their local hospital toreceive care. This allows the smallrural hospital to be reimbursed forservices, making it easier for thesesafety-net hospitals to keep theirdoors open. As a member of the Senate RuralHealth Caucus, I understand theimportance of access to fast, reli-able emergency medicine in ruralhospitals and will continue to sup-port initiatives, such as this, thatwill strengthen our rural healthcare infrastructure.

e-mail: [email protected] News Our South Dakota weather con-tinues to be uncertain. It soundslike we may get some winterweather later this week. But, younever know for sure, until it getshere. What is predicted is not al-ways what happens. The one thingthat is a constant, we do need mois-ture. Parts of South Dakota havegotten some good snows. But, inour area that is not the case. Foranybody who is, or has been, afarmer or rancher, the importanceof moisture is a given. Seeing thosegreen pastures and the golden ripewheat swaying in the breeze is anawesome sight. While sitting at thecomputer this morning, I lookedout the window and there was arabbit looking back at me. We livein a split level home, the office is inthe lower level, and the windowsare ground level, giving you a goodview of the outdoors. When Jerryand I came home last night therewere five or six deer in our yard.We gave the car horn a honk andoff they went. They leave their call-ing card and make an awful messof the yard. I need to get out therewith my rake and shovel and dosome major cleaning of the yard. The Hunt families have all re-turned to their homes, but, forBarry, who is staying for a whilelonger. Heading back to BattleMountain, Nev., Gordon andCherly Hunt hit black ice, takingthree to three-and-half hours todrive from Gillette, Wyo., toCasper, Wyo. While on the road,they got a call on their cell phonethat her mother, Elinor McGrath,had passed away. Her dad, HowardMcGrath, passed away in Novem-ber or December. We wish to ex-press our sympathies to Cherly andher family. It was good to read in MarshaSumpter’s local news column thatshe and her husband, Bill, are backhome in Kadoka after Bill hadspent a number of days in theRochester hospital. Their journeyhas taken them to a number of hos-pitals in the last few years. As, Iread her column, I can’t help butthink, “Though their journey hasnot be the easiest of late, they con-tinue to handle it in a positiveway.” Glad you are back home Bill.We wish you continued healing. As many of you know, due to aheart attack, David Hand spent anumber of days in the Rapid Cityhospital recently. After having two

stents put in, he was feeling muchbetter and able to go home.Wednesday night he began to havesome breathing problems, so wastaken to the Philip hospital andfound to have pneumonia. In talk-ing with Michelle Hand, she saidhe was doing much better and ishoping to be home in a day or two.Get well wishes, David. Alice (Donovan) Venner, Pierre,is not doing well. Her daughter, Mi-caela, does such a good job of keep-ing folks informed on the CaringBridge website. Family has noticedsome marked changes in Alice’shealth and awareness over the lastweek, or so. She has days she is ex-hausted and confused and sleeping12-18 hours. And then, other daysshe may participate in the conver-sation and eating a bit. They feelthey are coming to the stage in herjourney the doctor predicted wouldcome, shortly after Alice was told ofthe cancer. Family is thankful forthe nine months they have beengiven, a time of family sharing, oflaughter, some tears, and memo-ries of growing up in a large family.They take it a day at a time, thank-ful for each day they have, a timeof preparing. Alice’s love for lifewas so very evident in the way shelived her life. Our prayers continueto be with Alice, her husband,Larry, and their families. Shorty and Maxine Jones re-cently attended an event at theHeritage Center in Pierre where acoordinator of a partnership withthe Smithsonian Institute spokeabout the interest of that institu-tion in South Dakota, especially ofthe fossils in the Badlands andother areas of our state. That willadd even more interest to a trulyexcellent museum. The event was also to welcomethe legislative session to Pierre,and during the reception, we wereable to visit with several new legis-lators, including Gary Cammackand Elizabeth May, who representsour district. Some may rememberJohn and Mary Lou Lee who livedin Midland for a year while he wasteaching school. The ladies are sis-ters. They grew up on the Martifamily ranch near Mud Butte. Lizhas a good understanding of bothfarming/ranching, and business, asshe owns a grocery store in Kyle, aswell as ranching with her husband,Avery. They have two young adultchildren who are teachers. It was

great to reconnect with her andlearn that her elderly mother isstill enjoying life, now in Spearfish. Shorty and Maxine Jones droveto Brookings where he attended ameeting of an advisory group to theAnimal Diagnostic Lab and alsothe retirement party for Dr. DavidZeman, who has been a tremen-dous asset to that and the pre-vet-erinary program at South DakotaState University. Later, on the wayhome, they visited friends Mar-garet and Myron Joneson at thebeautiful nursing home and as-sisted living facility in Dell Rapids.It was great to see them feelingwell and all enjoyed a good visit,quite a bit about horses, drafthorses in particular. Myron tookShorty on a couple of trips to IowaAmish neighborhoods to look fornew draft horses a few years ago. Deciding not to attend the cat-tlemen’s convention this year,Shorty and Maxine made a fewtrips to Rapid City for various stockshow events, taking son Ross andgranddaughter Kalli out to supperone night for a short visit. Cassieand Melanie had been to Coloradofor an ice skating test, which wentwell. Scott Jones went to Tampa forthe convention, and Matthew alsowent, but he was with an SDSUyoung rancher class he takes. Herode to Rapid City with WaceyKirkpatrick and they did maketheir plane changes, due to the factthey can run pretty fast. They re-ally wanted to be there in time togo on a ranch tour scheduled fortheir group. Those boys came homewith lots of great ideas and maybeeven a taste for alligator meat andfrog legs. Last weekend, Shorty and Max-ine went to the showings of "TheBuffalo King," Justin Koehler’smovie about the life of ScottyPhilip. The theater at Pierre wasfull and they ran it a second time,for between three and four hun-dred people Saturday. The GemTheatre offered a free barbequesupper and on a really stormynight, there were about 150 peopleattending that one. Everyone weheard comment were very excitedabout it. It is great to have positivemessages about pioneers of thearea, and Mr. Philip was such anicon and extremely good business-man to accomplish what he did inhis short life.

I called the store to get Clint andBrenda Jensen’s news about theirSioux Falls trip. Clint answeredthe phone and said he’d let Brendagive me the news, his part of thenews was that on the trip home,driving conditions betweenMitchell and Chamberlain, werenot a bit good. Making them appre-ciate getting home safely. They leftTuesday morning for Sioux Fallsspending time visiting their son,Jon Jensen, Rochelle, Jennah andKennedy, Lynchburg, Va., andtheir daughter, Amanda and NickMassmann, who live in Sioux Falls.They returned home Thursday. Judy Daly reported that shedoesn’t get to far from home as theyare calving. She did go to PhilipSunday, visiting and having lunchwith her mom, Marie Anderson, atSilverleaf. The day was so nice,Judy and Marie went for a drive.It’s always nice to get out and gofor a drive. Marie and her late hus-

band, Kink Anderson, used to loadup their kids and go for a drivemost every evening after they hadeaten supper. I remember stayingwith Judy overnight when we werein high school and going on one ofthose drives. Barb Jones reported other thenshe and Morrie going to basketballgames of the grandkids, it is life onthe farm, as usual. Gene and Audrey Jones havebeen going to basketball games atKadoka, as their granddaughter,Destiny Dale, is on the girl’s bas-ketball team. Districts are thisweek. Kadoka plays White RiverTuesday.

The home Nathanand Erin live in was originally builtby Eddie Nemec. He and his wife,Barbara, and family lived in thathome for a number of years. LeoNemec and his wife, Betty, livedwith their family for a time in thathouse. And then, it was Mark andGlenda Nemec and family, thenTim and Lori Nemec and familyand now, Nathan, Erin and familylive there. So, that house has seenmany changes over the years.

Another roller skating activity isbeing planned for in March, so bewatching for dates. Nine pre-schoolhad their Valentine’s party Thurs-day, as did the older students. Re-member what fun it was to getthose Valentine cards and Valen-tine heart candies with those littlesayings on them? Good memories. It seems like a whole lot ofthings can get packed into a singleweek, doesn’t it? I am reading an-other book by Penelope J. Stokes,“The Wishing Jar.” And, what agreat book it is, as it shares the lifelessons of the people in the book.Lessons we can sometimes relate,too. Lessons to be learned and faithto carry us through those lessons inlife. Each one goes through theirown journey with its lessons of joy,sorrow, strengths and failures. Lifeis all of those things. Family issuch a huge part of life with itsjoys, its sorrows and everythingelse mixed in-between. Our grand-daughter, Joanna Nemec, experi-enced one of those joy times, as shehas been accepted to the radiologyprogram at Rapid City RegionalHospital. It is a two-year programand will begin on June 1. Ratherthen going back to School of Mines,she will be taking morning classesat Rapid City Regional RadiologistTech and in the afternoons she willbe doing some hands on schooling.She is so excited and we are all ex-cited for her. Life’s journey takes us on someunexpected journeys and there aretimes we pray we are up to theride. Have a good day and a goodweek.

Bald eagle awarenessweek February 18-23

by RepresentativeKristi noem

This week President Obama de-livered what is often seen as themost important speech of the year.The State of the Union is deliveredto all three branches of assembledgovernment and to millions ofAmericans at home throughout thecountry. It is an opportunity to re-flect, to cast a vision for the upcom-ing year and to set a course for thefuture of the country. I came away from the State ofthe Union disappointed in the toneand substance of the president’s re-marks and hearing the words ofAbraham Lincoln echo through mymind. As portrayed in the recentmovie “Lincoln,” the embattled

president comments about know-ing True North. He says that acompass may point True North, butwhat good is it if it can’t tell youabout the swamps and obstaclesalong the way? In other words, it’sone thing to know where you’d liketo go, it’s quite another to have thewisdom to understand what ittakes to get there. Whether the president knowswhere he wants to take the countryor not, he fails to recognize the ob-stacles that stand directly in ourway. He spoke of wanting new pro-grams and greater federal involve-ment in nearly every part of ourlives, but barely gave mention ofthe fact that we have a giantswamp called the national debtblocking our path. Understandingthe direction is not enough, weneed true leadership to navigatethe treacherous and winding roadthat will lead us there. In a few weeks, across-the-boardcuts will begin to take $1.2 trillionout of our national budget. Thepresident says that he wants tofind a better way, but has paid noattention to the two pieces of legis-lation that the House has submit-ted to responsibly cut spending.Now, after wandering through thepartisan forest, the President andsenate majority leader are attempt-ing, at the last minute, to offer amap that not only tramples anyprogress we’ve made, but smashesthe compass in the process. That’snot leadership, that’s politics. In order to move ahead in a re-sponsible manner, the presidentmust live up to his words in theState of the Union speech to “setparty interests aside.” I, and mycolleagues in the House, are readyto once again take up the issue andwork to find common ground. Inthe words of Abraham Lincoln,“You cannot escape the responsibil-ity of tomorrow by evading ittoday.” I hope you reach out to my officeand share your thoughts with me.I would love to hear from you.

It was interesting to read inLeeanne Neuhauser’s Moenvillecolumn from the February 7 Pio-neer Review that she found outthat you can take the bottom partof a used head of romaine lettuce,put it in water and it will grownew lettuce. She said it is an ex-periment in progress, but new let-tuce leaves are growing.

I found out last fall at the West-ern Junior vegetable identificationcontest that you can plant the bot-tom root end of your celery and itwill produce new. I Googled it andhere’s a good website that showshow to do it – http://www.every-dayruralty.com/2011/03/new-cel-ery-from-old.html.

Lookin’ Around by Syd Iwan

We recently got a blast from thepast in the form of a letter from aGerman fellow who visited heresome 50 years ago. The following iswhat he wrote to the “Dear IwanFamily. “Looking through boxes andbundles of paper, I came across theenclosed letter which actuallyshould have reached you some 50years ago. As you can see from theenvelope, it traveled quite a bitaround the world before its finaldispatch now. It probably containssome photographs. “Let me give you some back-ground information. In 1961-62, Ispent a year studying at CornellUniversity. Before returning toGermany, I decided to tour yourcounty and Mexico. I had $250 ofmy own, and, according to the doc-tors at Cornell, being able to standcottage cheese, a loaf of whitebread, and one or two pints of milkevery day for about 120 daysshould guarantee a healthy surviv-ing. I hit the road at the beginningof June 1962. Hitchhiking was themeans of my moving. “On June 14, I asked the driver

who gave me a ride to stop anddrop me at the junction of the roadfrom North Platte to the north. Heasked whether I was sure becausethere would be “pretty much of notmuch.” When I told him I wouldnot mind and that I wanted to seethe Sandhills region, he mentionedthat in about three days’ time hewould return on the same route,and, if I was still around, he wouldpick me up again. This was notnecessary. After a few hours, a re-ally old vehicle stopped, picked meup, and gave me a lift. When theyhad to turn off west, I was aloneagain, surrounded by low sanddunes. For the next hours, theheads of cattle appeared, ruminat-ing, looking at me for a few sec-onds, and then ‘submerging’ again. “Finally a car approached,stopped, and the driver bent overand asked, ‘What dropped youhere, son? Where do you sleep?’When I answered that I had asleeping bag and the roadside, hejust answered, ‘You might be in fora surprise. This year we have un-usual rainfall. You better jump in.We will find you a roof.’ And thus,pretty near the middle of nowhereas I started to feel after all thehours of waiting and in a verysilent surrounding, I learned toknow Mr. Iwan, the driver. Drivingfor miles, then at road 16 turningto the west and leaving the high-way at Stamford Store, entering agravel road towards the south, andafter another couple of miles turn-ing around a corner, the day’s rideended at your ranch. I saw severallow houses and 10 or so men who,if I am not mistaken, were all thesons of the Iwan clan. “In the evening, they asked meto join them for a beer. To my sur-prise, this was 30 or more milesaway across the range. The nextmorning (June 15) very early andafter a great breakfast in the dark-ness, all drove to the center of theranch where I was “confronted”with a horse. I had never been nearto such an animal and, after a few

to Germany. “You may ask, ‘What about theletter prepared for dispatch to youin the Philippines?’ In 1963 and upto 1965, I went for research workto the southern Philippines. Mybase among the Muslims was theDansalan Junior College inMarawi City. Somehow, the letterslipped in a heap of paper andturned up by chance just now. I donot want to extend this letter, butlet me tell you. The stay at yourranch definitely gave me a greatinsight into life in the countryside,and it impressed me deeply. I justwould like to thank you once morevery much after 50 years. Withbest wishes, Klaus Hausherr.” The letter contained a picture ofthe Stamford Store from a postcardplus five photos of a branding atour place. In one, I was holding theback leg of a calf for branding. Iwould have been between my jun-ior and senior years of high school.Also in the photos were Ted Vobr(who is still on the ranch,) mycousin Joe Iwan and Jim Srb. TheMr. Iwan noted was my UncleHarold (1899-1979.) A blast from the past indeed.

moments, I was on top of it, liftedup by two of the young men whohad stood right and left of me. I fol-lowed their advice and stayed atop.The day passed by rounding upand branding cattle. I have to con-fess, if you had to make a selectionon this day about who was themore useful farmhand, I myselfwould have had to vote definitelyfor the horse. It knew in advancewhere to move to bring the cattletogether and just ignored my or-ders at the reins. In the evening,there was another beer, againsome 15 or so miles across theranch. This time it was towardsthe west. “The next day I was not muchable to move, not so much from thebeer but from daylong range activ-ities. On June 16, all went to arodeo in the Badlands, and I wasglad I didn’t have to join the per-formance but could watch from be-hind the fence. After these twogreat days, I hit the road again –Seattle, San Francisco, Los Ange-les, Grand Canyon to name onlysome of my stops, and then Mexicoand Yucatan. From there it wasback to New York to catch the ship

she had to buy her own Valentine’ssupper as John forgot his wallet athome!) Now do you need a few les-sons from John or what? Arnis re-turned to Rapid City Saturday,February 16, where she again metGayle and Ralph Matz and theywent to a big swap meet which issort of like a huge garage sale.Arnis said that there were over 205

booths. John stayed home to work. My thought for this week is to doa good deed for someone and youwill never regret it. As when you doa good deed, you receive more fromit than the one who receives it. Youreceive a smile, a thank you, a hug,what more could you ask for thanthat?

Grindstone News(continued from page 3)

Good morning from warm andtropical Kadoka. Well, not quitethat romantic, but we have enjoyedsome warm days that depleted thesnow that was banked up and re-duced it to water. Unfortunately, ithasn’t soaked in too quickly, sowhen I went to take the plane for afly Sunday there was a bit of awater hole where I needed to taxito get to the runway. Since newbrakes had just been put on I didn’tthink it was wise to get them wetand possibly frozen, the plane wasleft tethered in the hanger. I re-member one time I was anxious tofly, taxied toward the run-up padonly to be stuck tight in gumbo. Iproceeded to use the tie down onthe tail to free it and did get thingsput away. Dug out mud from thewheel pants and finally they cameoff so that wouldn’t happen again. Monday afternoon, CaitlinKlumb went to Sturgis to visitgrandma Cathy Fiedler and gethelp sewing a book made of clothfor her art class. She had to water-paint five pictures and sew them onmaterial and then put it togetheras a book. She got a 95 percent onit. She drove herself over, first timedriving on the interstate and allwas good. Monday, Tony Harty stopped byour house to give me his news forthe week. He’s feeling a little betterafter a punky last week. Don and Vi Moody had a prettyexciting week at the ranch withseveral appointments in Philip andbusy at the ranch. Brian Koehnwas helping out the greater part ofthe week getting ready for a cattlesale. Don has been putting his newskidsteer to work around and aboutmoving snow out of the corralsaround the loading chute and thecattle came in to the place out ofcuriosity hearing the engine noiseso moving them closer was not aproblem at all. As we watch TV, it seems themusic in the background drownsout the voices of the actors (is thatage related ) and seldom can I getinterested in the newer shows dueto the prolific use of cussing. We doenjoy the old time shows, “Bo-nanza” and “Matlock,” to mentiona couple, and it was interestingthat this week the screenwriter forthose shows passed away at 98years of age, Richard Collins.Shows that don’t have to be cen-sored ahead of time. Very refresh-ing. What to do when the furnacedoesn’t run, call for help. TonyHarty was in that situation andTuesday Brian Hansen was by tocheck on the problem and ordereda new furnace motor and at-tempted to make the old one workuntil the repair arrived. Tony vis-ited Shirley Hair after picking upthe mail. Tuesday visitors at our placewere Dean Parsons, Philip, and

Phyllis Word. An enjoyable timespent talking about old times. Weather in the Sturgis areathere was some snow Tuesday andThursday and windy the wholeweek, or so Cathy Fiedler said itseemed. Saturday was a beautifulday though, to make up for the restof the week. Wednesday morning, I was a bitbusy with some business. PennyStout stopped briefly in the morn-ing and Brian Koehn in the after-noon. I made a trip to Philip in theHaakon County Prairie Trans-portation van in the afternoon andboy was the wind blowing. Bill en-joyed his home away from home inthe afternoon. Wednesday, Tony Harty pickedup mail and delivered it to ShirleyHair and visited. Thursday, Todd O'Connor andRich Foley arrived at the Moodyranch and hauled cattle into thelivestock auction with the help ofDon Moody, Brian Koehn, CapHerber, and Blaine Hicks fromKadoka. It was windy and periodsof blowing snow, but all worked outvery smoothly and at least the haulwas a short one for the truckers.That was how Don and Vi cele-brated their anniversary. Valentine’s Day blew in with avengance. I had an early morningtrip to Murdo that Thursday withthe HCPT. Who would suppose youcould get lost in Murdo? However,I had to enlist the help of Phylis Pe-ters to find the Murdo clinic. It’snot what you know sometimes, butwho you know! The wind jostled usalong both ways and snow accom-panied us, off and on, as well. Sandee Gittings left Thursdayafter work to go to Aberdeen for theannual S.D. Farmers Union con-vention. She drove on about 75miles of solid ice from Holabird tonorth of Redfield on the way.Headed for home Sunday morningand had some bad roads betweenMiller and Highmore. Don and Vi Moody had to taketheir laptop computer Friday after-noon to Philip to find out why thecolor was distorted. It all hinged onthe position of the monitor beingvery sensitive to movement due tojust wear and opening and closingthe monitor screen so often. ButRon said it will probably work okayfor awhile as long as the monitorposition stays very stable, so Vi hasto type gently and they don't rockthe boat, so to speak. They had alate lunch at the Lucky Strikebowling lanes. Friday, Bill was like a cricketrubbing his legs together until theywere raw. A quick trip to theKadoka Clinic and Dr. Coen Klop-per sized him up, surveyed thehealing we have been doing, andgave him some medication for thatitching going on, as well as for thefever that had just hit him. Wemade a trip to Philip for prescrip-

tions. In the afternoon, I visitedEmma Jarl at the Kadoka NursingHome and also Dale and Cindy O’-Connell, who were up to their eye-brows in old pictures, newspapersand scrapbooks with Donna (O’-Connell) and Richard Perez. Thiswas a collection their grandmotherhad accumulated and it was mar-velous. She had carefully writtenon so many family pictures. Don and Vi Moody had manycalls and visitors Friday at theranch, as well as seeing a longtimefriend, Kenny Stoner, who used tolive at the Lampert/Moody ranch inthe early 1970s when his folks,Mary Ann and Leo, leased it for afew years from Vi's folks. Kennywas in the area visiting his folks inPhilip, so stopped in to visit whiledriving into Philip from his homenear Murdo. Don and Vi Moody left for RapidCity Saturday afternoon to finallycelebrate the anniversary theymissed on Valentine's Day. Theweather was balmy with tempera-tures in the mid-50s, a beautifulweekend to enjoy being out andabout. When they got their mail onSaturday on their way to Rapid,they found a large box from Vi'sfriend, Lori Newman Courtney, Ft.Worth, Texas, and it was full ofpecans from Lori and Ed's proper-ties in Texas and Oklahoma. Whata neat surprise that was. Jessica Gittings visited GeorgeGittings Saturday and did up thedishes for him!Our Sympathy to the family of

Hans E. Hanson, who passed awaythis week. Hans was a figure

among the businesses for manyyears in Philip and thoroughly en-joyed a good hunt. Thursday, Tony Harty took mailto Shirley Hair and visited. He alsovisited with Dale Koehn and KathyBrown. Kathy had knee surgery ata same day surgical center inRapid Tuesday and she is recover-ing nicely. Friday after getting the mail,Tony Harty went out for breakfast.He visited with Hairs. That visitwas also partly to get warmed up,but he was thankful it wasn’t allthat cold, since the furnace hadcompletely given up the ghost.Brian Hanson to the rescue withthe new motor in the afternoon andTony enjoyed a warm house again. Saturday, Tony Harty made atrip to the post office, then tookHair’s mail to them. Shirley wasunder the weather a little. He wentout for coffee and in the afternoonattended the birthday party forJerry Stilwell. Saturday afternoon, I wasamong the many who attended the80th birthday celebration for JerryStilwell at their café. What a groupof folks, so many from Philip andKadoka. It was a perfect day for thecelebration. Sunday, Tony Harty was out tochurch, then out for dinner and en-joyed a visit with Jerry and JoannStilwell while there. AAUwrestling was going on at theKadoka auditorium most of theday. “In youth we learn, in age we un-derstand.” Daysies

dently the road conditions weren'tvery good as Jon was coming home.But one thing is for sure – if yougrow up in Minnesota, you knowhow to deal with snow and ice! Jonand Connie's son, Wyatt, was homefor the holiday weekend from hisstudies at South Dakota State Uni-versity. Ray and Nancy Neuhauser re-cently returned from a trip toFlorida. They attended the annualmeeting of the National Cattle-men's Beef Association as well asthe American National Cattle-women. They went with a group tothe local fairgrounds where theFlorida cattlemen were opening amuseum about the industry intheir state. Evidently, Florida wasthe first state in our nation to havecattle. Ray and Nancy also took atour of two cattle ranches and awater preserve, as well as a hugestrawberry farm and a winery.While in Florida, they also got tovisit with Raymond's grandchil-dren, Jessica and William, andtheir families. Jessie and Willie arechildren of Clayton Neuhauser.Connie (Neuhauser) and BunkyBoger had their educational agri-cultural exhibit at a fair in thearea, so Raymond and Nancy alsogot to visit with them and tourtheir display. Nancy said Connieand Bunky do such a service to theagriculture industry by providingthis informative, hands-on oppor-tunity to the public. Nancy said atone point, Connie was milking acow, showing the fair-goers wheretheir milk comes from, and the kidswere lined up for quite a ways,waiting for their turn to "milk thecow." Nels and Dorothy Paulson havebeen home this week – they didn'teven have to go to town for sup-plies. They have been enjoying puz-zles – jigsaw and crossword puz-zles. Puzzles can be relaxing, andthey are a good way to exerciseyour mind. However, at the Paul-son home, jigsaw puzzles are notrelaxing for Dorothy, so she sticksto the crossword puzzles. She saidshe is too impatient, and if shecan't find pieces to the jigsaw puz-zle in a short amount of time, thenshe is frustrated! Mary Briggs was in Rapid CitySaturday attending a wrestlingcompetition. I haven't heard the re-sults, but I hope the grandsons didwell. Lee and Mary were in PierreSunday to take pictures prior to theKing of Hearts event. Their daugh-ter, Cattibrie Riggle, was one of theattendees. Lee said that hismother, Lil Briggs, continues to dopretty well. Lee's brother and sis-ter-in-law, Lane and Sonja, arethere with Lil, and several otherfriends and relatives help out, al-lowing Lil to remain in her ownhome, which is where she is happi-est. Frank and Shirley Halligan trav-eled to Rapid City Wednesday tosee David Hand, who was a patientin the hospital there. Dave was inthe process of being released fromthe hospital, so Frank and Shirleyhad lunch with Dave, Laura, andtheir grandson, Seth, before re-turning home. Saturday, the Halli-gan's traveled to Faith to a basket-ball game between Faith andPhilip. As I mentioned, David Hand wasreleased from the Rapid City hos-pital last Wednesday, which isgreat news. Now, as Paul Harveywould say, here's the rest of thestory! David spent Wednesdaynight at home, but he was havingsome breathing difficulties whenhe woke up Thursday, so he wentback to the Philip hospital. Theyfound he had pneumonia, so hespent several days in the hospitalthere, returning home early thisweek. I hope now he'll be able tosettle in at home and recover! Clark and Carmen Alleman werein Rochester recently for a check-up. Carmen said the check-up wentwell, which is great news! Grand-daughter Alivya visited Clark andCarmen for a couple of afternoonslast week while Alivya's mom wasbusy with some projects. Saturday,Carmen joined a group of ladies atthe Kirley Hall for a scrapbookingsession. There is also a lady thatcomes to the hall and gives mas-sages – sounds like a great way torelax! Mary Neuhauser attended thestate gymnastics meet last week –her niece was one of the partici-pants. Daughter Sarah, who worksin Spearfish, also came down forsome of the meet. KevinNeuhauser traveled to HighmoreSaturday to see his mother, RuthNeuhauser, as well as his sister,Nina, and her husband, LynnNachtigall. Lynn and Nina werevisiting from their home inCheyenne, Wyo., and they spent afew days with Ruth. The group hadsupper together Saturday evening.Kevin said Lynn and Nina weregoing to be stopping throughSpearfish to pick up some house-plants that Sarah "babysat" forseveral months while Lynn andNina were in Italy. According toKevin, Lynn and Nina will be head-ing south soon to visit some friendsand see some sights. Their daugh-ter, Tara, is working with a produc-

tion that is touring in the south-west, so Lynn and Nina will be ableto spend some time with her, also.It sounds like Lynn and Nina aremaking the most of their retire-ment. Max and Joyce Jones have beenhome this week – taking advantageof this slower time of year. Joycesaid she has been working ontaxes, which doesn't sound relaxingto me at all! Clint and Laura Alleman havebeen busy with chores and prepa-ration for the upcoming Hayesplay. Laura is the director, and shesaid they are having dress re-hearsal this week. I'm sure theHayes play will provide a funevening, just as it has for decades.Clint and Laura were in Pierre onValentine's Day, and they cele-brated with a Valentine's lunch! T.J. Gabriel took some bulls toSturgis last weekend to take partin the pen of three exhibits there.T.J. will be having his annual bullsale soon.

Bill and Polly Bruce have beenenjoying a quieter winter schedule.They went to Ida Hunt's funeral onFebruary 11. Last Friday, theirson, Vince, went to the Black Hillsto ski with friends. His wife, Katie,is not a skiing enthusiast, so sheopted to stay at the ranch and helpkeep the chores done. Saturdayevening, Bill and Polly attendedchurch in Midland. Sunday, Katiewent rock hunting with Jason Fis-cher and others – the group wassearching for Fairburn agates.Polly said Katie didn't find anyFairburns, but she did bring homesome beautiful rocks. Polly said shehas been spending time working onquilts and crafts – perfect winter-time activities! Randy and I seemed to have abusy week. Randy was in Philip

last Monday and Tuesday to getsupplies and go to the cattle sale,and I was in Philip Wednesday fora meeting. Sunday, I headed toSalem to visit our daughter, Jen-nifer, and Monday Randy attendeda Masonic Lodge meeting in Pierre.We enjoyed the few days of gor-geous weather! Today, I am grateful for technol-ogy that allows me to submit thiscolumn to the Pioneer Review officefrom Salem, or anywhere else. AllI need is a computer. This technol-ogy was science fiction not thatmany years ago. I hope you will all bundle up andstay safe and warm through thecold, snowy days ahead. And startdoing some exercises, so you'll beready for gardening season!
