by Nancy HaighThe county highway department

was given approval to purchase athird motor grader at the HaakonCounty Board of Commissioner’smeeting February 5.

When discussions were first heldregarding the purchase of one-yearold graders leased by the city ofSioux Falls, the county signed upfor two new graders. The thoughtat that time was to surplus twoCaterpillar H models. As talkshave continued the county has de-cided it would be best to surplusthe two newest Caterpillar M mod-els that have often been on the re-pair list, along with an H model.

Alex Kulesza, Butler Machineryrepresentative, discussed variousoptions with the board. The two Mmodels have new rippers on them.Kulesza noted that that would be adraw for some contractors andmight drive up the bid price. Thecost of new rippers, which wouldnot have to be modified to fit thenew machines, would not increasethe final dollar line that much, saidKulesza.

The final purchase for threeblades with two rippers would costalmost $177,000, financed overfour years. The board also ap-proved the purchase of a third rip-per and a wing unit.

The board will formally surplusthree graders after Butler Machin-ery has looked the machines over

and completed an estimate on theirvalue. At that time Kulesza willhelp the county with advertisingthe machines for sale. The countydoes have a guaranteed buy backamount through Butler Machineryfor the two M models, per the orig-inal purchase agreement, whichthe county can exercise if the bidscome in lower.

Kenny Neville noted that thecounty no longer needs to advertiseculvert bids since there is only onedealer in South Dakota. He notedthat prices are three to four percentlower than last year. The board ap-proved, per Neville’s request, to re-move a bridge from the county’sbridge system. The bridge had beenreplaced last summer with a largeculvert.

The board voted to not finan-cially support the Capital AreaCounseling service. HaakonCounty Auditor Patricia (Pat) Free-man noted that some of the coun-ties the agency works in provide fi-nancial assistance while others donot.

Quarterly reports were given byEmergency Manager Lola Roseth,county health nurse Heidi Burnsand Director of Equalization ToniRhodes. Rhodes noted that resi-dents can now file for tax appeals.The city of Philip will hold theirequalization hearing March 18 andthe county’s will be April 9. Free-man reported that the county can

take the South Dakota State De-partment of Revenue determinedConsumer Price Index tax increaseof just over two percent. She alsonoted new growth to be taxed on in2014 is $3,521,333.

State’s Attorney Gay Tollefsonupdated the board regarding Sun-day liquor licenses. She said thecounty does not have to have an or-dinance if they choose to followstate law. No decision was made onwhether to approve a Sunday li-cense.

The board approved to amendResolution 2013-03 from the Janu-ary meeting to reflect wages forpermanent part-time deputies andpermanent full-time deputies.

They approved the Januarymeeting minutes as well as war-rants for the past month. Discus-sion was held regarding a bill forunemployment benefits. The boardquestioned if the individual was el-igible for the benefits. Freemannoted that she had asked for ap-proval prior to the meeting to paythe bill as it was due before the endof the month. She noted the fundshad already been sent to the billingparty for the unemployment bene-fits.

Travel requests were approvedfor 4-H advisor Carrie Weller andNeville. Elke Baxter was approvedto be a member of the Haakon/Jackson Fair Board.

The deadline for submittingCensus forms was February 4, andmany farmers and ranchers haveresponded. However, those who didnot respond by the original duedate will receive another copy ofthe form in the mail to give themanother opportunity. “Accurate and comprehensive in-formation from all farmers andranchers is important so that the

Census can provide a true pictureof U.S. agriculture today and helpeveryone plan appropriately for fu-ture,” said Vilsack. “This level ofinformation is only gathered andreleased once every five years, sowe need the participation of everyproducer to ensure the agriculturalindustry and rural America receivethe representation that will pro-vide them with the most benefitand value.” Farmers and ranchers can re-turn their forms by mail or onlineby visiting a secure website,www.agcensus.usda.gov.

Twenty-three rural hospitals inSouth Dakota will receive a total of$278,037 in federal funding forprojects to improve patient access,reduce medication errors, reducehospital readmissions, and im-prove operations. Philip Health Services, Inc. isone of the hospitals receivingMedicare Rural Hospital Flexibil-ity Program direct awards. It willreceive $13,135. The federal funding comesthrough the South Dakota Depart-ment of Health. Over the last 12

years, rural hospitals in SouthDakota have received more than$4,078,000 in direct awardsthrough the program. Hospitals must be Medicare cer-tified as critical access to be eligiblefor the funds. Critical access hospi-tals receive a higher Medicare re-imbursement rate and are eligiblefor federal funding for improve-ment projects. There are currently38 critical access hospitals in SouthDakota. The funding helps rural hospi-tals make direct, positive impacts

on patient care and health out-comes, noted an official from thePlatte Health Center - Avera, oneof the facilities receiving funds.“Without the additional supple-mental financial assistance we re-ceive from this program, we wouldnot have been able to implementthe programs and processes wecurrently have in place,” said JodySternberg, RN, and director of pa-tient care services at Platte. “Thisprogram makes a difference forcritical access hospitals.”

“The Buffalo King” airs in Philip

A free private airing of the documentary film “The Buffalo King” was presented at the Gem Theatre, Sunday, February 10.The film is about the man-caused decimation of the North American bison and a hand full of individuals who worked tosave it from extinction. One of those men was James “Scotty” Philip – immigrant, goldrusher, cowboy, wagon freighter,cattle baron, statesman and namesake for the town of Philip. The film’s producer, Justin Koehler, spoke at the airing aboutthe production of the movie and future plans for it at film festivals. He suggested that the film could be shown at localannual events, such as Philip Festival Days.

United States Senator Tim John-son released this statement on theUnited States Postal Service’s an-nouncement regarding the elimina-tion of Saturday delivery. “I have long said the eliminationof Saturday mail delivery should bea last resort option. Last spring,the Senate passed a postal reformbill that would have addressed thepostal service’s current budgetshortfalls and prohibited theagency from eliminating Saturdaydelivery for at least two years whilealternative cost savings are imple-mented. The bill was never broughtup for a vote in the House, and thisprevented postal reform from mov-ing forward. “The elimination of Saturday de-livery does not take effect until Au-gust 1, so there is still time for Con-gress to come together and passcomprehensive postal reform. I willcontinue working to preserve theuniversal service mandate that en-

sures those in South Dakota andother rural areas continue havingaccess to quality and affordablemail service.” United States RepresentativeKristi Noem released the followingstatement. “I strongly believe thatthe postal service needs to focus onmaking additional internal andstructural reforms before it cutsservices. I understand that seriouschanges need to take place to makethe USPS financially viable, but Ido not support eliminating Satur-day delivery. Coming from such arural state, our postal service iscritical to the way families andbusinesses operate. Before thePostal Service makes decisionsthat affect South Dakotans and therest of rural America, I believe theUSPS should review all availableoptions in order to establish an ef-ficient and sustainable deliverysystem.”

USPS to stop Saturday deliveries

Lookin’ Around by Syd Iwan

I think my electronic indoor/out-door thermometer is dyslexic.That’s one explanation, anyway,for it reading 82 degrees as thehigh temperature the other day. Ithad been a warmish day for Febru-ary and did get up to 52, but 82 inearly February in South Dakota isso improbable that it would havemade the national news had it ac-tually happened. When I went torecord the high for the day in mydiary as I usually do, I glanced atthat reading and then looked backto make sure I was actually seeingwhat I thought I was. My visionwas okay which elicited the re-sponse, “I don’t think so. Most un-likely!” All I could figure was that,when it was 28 degrees aroundsunrise, the weather-station con-traption had read it and, in a fit ofdyslexia, flipped it around to 82.Either that or the batteries need tobe changed. In any event, Irecorded 52 as the day’s high andnot 82. A lot of information comes ourway these days that is highly sus-picious as to accuracy. We’ve justbeen through an election where somuch rubbish was tossed aroundthat a person might be inclined totune out the whole mess. Fairlynormal, well-intentioned candi-dates were depicted as completefools with the morals of alley catsand no redeeming value whatso-ever. I didn’t agree with the viewsof all the candidates to be sure, butit irritated me a lot when theywere unfairly depicted as the dregsof the earth. Dirt was flung rightand left. “Stick to the facts,” waswhat I wanted to advise. The same advice should apply tothe Internet as well. It gives falseinformation the opportunity to cir-cle the globe in seconds and be ac-cepted by many as gospel. Everyyear, for instance, we get an articleabout the guards at the Tomb ofthe Unknown Soldier. The articletries to depict those guards as ab-solute saints. It states that, once aperson becomes one of these elitesentries, he must never in hiswhole life swear or drink alcohol.Wife Corinne worked at the Penta-gon when she was in the Army andknew some of these guys. Theywere dedicated fellows, but theyweren’t saints. It’s ridiculous toeven consider that as a possibility.I might add that the article thatmakes the rounds does have accu-rate parts when it describes howthe patrol of the tomb is carried outand what various rituals mean.Other parts, however, are completefoolishness.

Most years as well, we get an an-nouncement that the planet Marsis so close to earth in its orbit thatit will soon look as big as the moon.That will never happen. It willnever even appear as bright asVenus, much less the moon. Thissilliness started way back aftersomeone said that Mars would lookas big as the moon when viewedthrough a telescope at a certainmagnification. The telescope partwas unfortunately overlooked bythose wanting to pass on excitingnew information. What’s more,Mars was only extraordinarilyclose to earth that one time severalyears ago, but the same silly articlehas been resurrected and sentagain in following years after Marshad regressed and was not going tobe especially close or large anytimesoon. As you know, some obituariescould almost be thought of as fairytales when they apply to peopleyou know. They often depict some-one as a completely wonderful per-son when they were dishonest,undisciplined, chronically drunk,or just generally hard to deal with.I’ve read obituaries of people I’veknown and thought, “Who are theytalking about? It certainly isn’t theperson by that name that I know.” Religion is another place whereerrors can abound. It is usually ac-complished by people trying tomake the Bible say what they wantit to say instead of what it actuallysays as taken in context. Theymight also want to make God outto be how they think he should beinstead of how he is. This leads toall manner of trouble, confusionand outright error. I try to counterthis by reading the Bible throughcompletely every year as I havenow done for forty years or more. Itdoesn’t mean I can catch everywrong thought that people throwout, but I can discard a lot of them. It is rather the norm for peopleto want to tell interesting or excit-ing facts. That’s a given. As a re-sult, it’s our job to consider whatwe hear and only accept informa-tion as truth when the facts havebeen checked as much as possible.Gullibility is not a virtue. As a re-sult, when I go to record the hightemperature for today in my diary,I might look at what the ther-mometer says it was, but I won’tnecessarily accept it as gospelwithout comparing it to my experi-ence of the day. Verifying is thesensible thing to do concerning anyinformation that comes our way.We should probably try to keepthat in mind.

by Sen. Jim BradfordDistrict 27

We have now completed the fifthweek of legislative session and thedays get longer as we approachcross over day, which is when allbills must be out of their house oforigin. In the Senate Health and Judici-ary committees, on which I serve,we have been seeing an increase ofbills to review. A piece of legislation which I amproud to say was signed this weekby the Governor was the CriminalJustice Initiative. I’ve been in-volved in this from the start andworked on a task force that was atthe beginning of a process that hasled to the adoption of this law. This new way of sentencing willsignificantly reduce the number ofnonviolent offenders being sen-tenced to prison and enable themto receive the treatment they needfor their addiction. This approachduplicates successful programs op-erated in other states. In fact,South Dakota was one of the laststates to adopt this type of ap-proach which puts the emphasis ontreatment and rehabilitation, not

just incarceration. This legislation,while having some upfront costs formore treatment centers andtrained drug and alcohol treatmentexperts, will in the long run reducethe need for millions of dollars ofinvestment in prisons. It will keepnon-violent criminals in their ownhomes and communities and bringmore treatment to those addictedto drugs and alcohol. This is theright approach and long overdue.I’m proud to say that I was an ad-vocate for this from the very begin-ning, testified several times as itmoved through committees and onthe floor, and this week witnessedthe Governor sign it into law. Nowit’s up to all of us to follow throughand support its implementation. A special briefing for SouthDakota legislators on Medicaid ex-pansion was presented by theCouncil of State Government onFebruary 5. The Council of StateGovernment is a nonpartisan, non-profit association which serves allthree branches of state govern-ment-judicial, legislative, and exec-utive. The speaker was Dr. VernSmith, a nationally known healthcare economist and the former

Medicaid director in Michigan. Dr.Smith was able to relate the expe-riences of other states, some ofwhich have expanded Medicaid el-igibility years before the recent fed-eral proposal. In studies which re-viewed these expansions, peoplewere healthier, and less healthcare was obtained in emergencyrooms. The numbers change often, butto date close to half of the stateshave decided to expand Medicaidcoverage. If our state follows suit,the federal government wouldcover 100 percent of Medicaid costsfor the estimated 48,000 newly eli-gible South Dakota adults for thefirst three years (2014-2016). Thestate’s only expense would be a lit-tle over a million dollars a year foradministration. The state’s sharewould gradually rise until itreached 10 percent of total costs in2020. According to South DakotaDepartment of Social Services esti-mates, state residents would re-ceive about $2 trillion in medicalcare benefits between 2014 and2020. Certainly there are some of ourDistrict 27 folks who work hard atjobs but are offered no health in-surance through their employment.These are exactly the individualswho will benefit from Medicaid ex-pansion. I will continue to workhard to see that South Dakotadoesn’t give up on our 48,000 work-ing adults without health insur-ance. Contact me at 605-685-4241 [email protected].

Legislative Updatesby Representative

Elizabeth May We are seeing considerable billscoming to the floor from the variouscommittee’s. Some bills of interest,HB1123 will appropriate one dollarto be deposited in the animal dam-age control fund and five dollarsshall be deposited in a special fundknown as the South Dakota sports-men’s access and landowner depre-dation fund. This law and fee wasalready in place and all the legisla-tors did was move one dollar to theADC Program. HB1013 and HB1015 werebrought by the Board of Regents.HB1013 was for funds of$325,000.00 to construct multi-storage facilities at SDSU andHB1015 was for remodeling andrenovation of Medary Commons onthe campus of SDSU with a cost of$2,250,000.00. Both bills passedthe house with 58 yeas and 10 naysand I voted nay. The argument ofone-time dollars should be used tofund one-time projects; not ongoingcosts evades me when our teacherpay remains 48th in the nation. HB1128 was a bill to allow cer-tain students to participate in theOpportunity Scholarship Program.This bill arises after a home-schoolstudent was denied when applyingfor the scholarship. The Depart-ment of Education has a standardcriteria in place for public schoolstudents that doesn’t apply forhome school students. We heardtestimony from a student attendingSchool of Mines in Rapid who re-ceived a 30 ACT score and was de-nied the scholarship. His firstcousin who was educated througha public school and now is attend-ing SDSU received the scholarshipwith a ACT score of 24. The Dept.

of Education came out against thisbill. The committee voted to send itto the floor and it passed on to theSenate. Competition by the S.D.Board of Eduction is somethingthis agency is trying to avoid bylimiting who is eligible for thescholarship. We need to rememberthat parents of home-school stu-dents are still paying taxes to fundpublic schools. I think the least thestate can do is treat them equal re-garding the scholarship program. HB1126 was brought to repealthe massage therapy licensing re-quirements and regulatory board.This bill had been deferred fromthe 15th LD while talks were ongo-ing. This bill stems from a 2005 li-censee requirement and a misman-aged board with a high turnover.After considerable discussion andtwo lengthy amendments it passedon to the Senate. I find it amazingthat legislature’s are put in office tosettle disputes of massage therapyboards. I’d like to report that we arepassing sweeping legislation thatimprove's our daily lives, but todate we have dealt with air, water,

wildlife and snowmobile tracks formotorcycles just to name a few. Thebills that I thought could make adifference, like SB125, “SharedParenting” did not make it off theSenate floor. I encourage everyoneto stay involved with what is goingon with your local, state and fed-eral governments. I enjoyed seeing the Kadoka sen-ior government class this week. Itis very important for our studentsto see the process of law makingand the impact that it has on thecitizens of South Dakota. 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. Elizabeth May. Youcan also email me at [email protected] during session.

Wealth? ... by Del Bartels

There is a theory that, if all the wealth in the world was distributed

evenly among all the individuals of the world, within a given number

of years most of that wealth would be back under the control of who

has it now. Agreed, some people are idiots, some have never learned

how to handle even a little money, some have unforseen expenses such

as medical needs, while some are simply single-minded toward power

and wealth. Yet, some probably just don’t put that much importance

behind riches ... well, at least not the monetary kind of riches.

A teenager who is given a new car looks at it differently than a

teenager who has worked and saved for many years to buy that first

used car. Which one thinks more toward insurance? Which one, most

likely, is also thinking of future costs such as a new set of tires?

A conversation starter used to be, “What would you do with a million

dollars?” At three percent interest, you could scrape by off of the annual

interest, but most people would first buy a house, a vehicle, decent

clothes, and enough food to last awhile. Others say that they would in-

vest it; yeah, and how many people have “safe” 401K plans that have

painfully lost money in the last two decades? Invest in Enron! What I

would spend my money on is not what other people believe I should

spend my money on. One person told me he would buy a motor home

and live out of that, doling out the interest and remaining capital to

pay for gas and food as he spent years exploring the continent. He

agreed that the entire amount would be close to gone by the time he

died, but he wouldn’t need it then.

If you ask someone enough either/or questions, you will discover

what they hold important. Either a lazy vacation sleeping on the beach,

or an exerting time learning to parasail and snorkel? Either climbing

a mountain to see forever, or playing in the backyard with grandkids?

Either dining on lobster tail at a swank club or eating your mother’s

apple pie? Either flying to a full two weeks of Disney World, or driving

to Florida and back, stopping at everywhere in between? New car or

college? Homework or shoot some hoops? Television or a game of check-

ers? Hug or a kiss?

When hearing that the family car has been in a fender-bender, is

your knee-jerk response asking how bad the damage is or if everyone

is all right? A few dollars goes for lottery tickets or into the collection

plate? Is a quarter on the sidewalk worth you bending over and picking

it up to put it in your pocket? Would you stop to pick up a candy wrap-

per to put it in a trash can? Have you ever dropped a quarter in a store,

just so the little kid next to you can “find” it?

Another way to learn what someone holds important is to look at

their checkbook. What do you spend your “wealth” on? I hope to live

well, but when they open my wallet at my deathbed, I hope they find

that my “wealth” was giving my money, my time, myself to others.

To the person who took out a sec-tion of my redwood fence on SuperBowl weekend, You apparently need more spacefor your driving skills than whatthe alley roadway offers. So, if youwere to haul away what remains ofthe fence, then my property plusthe apron on the property next doorwould give you more room to ma-neuver. However the space does geta bit tighter as one goes up thealley, but I’m certain you can finda solution for that as well. Let me or the city police knowwhat you think about this as a so-lution to your problem. Sincerely,

I am gladthat Senator Johnson and SenatorThune, along with 29 UnitedStates Senators, signed onto a bi-partisan letter to USDA and theUS Trade Representative to keepCOOL requirements in place. Be-cause Congress passed COOL, we

now have a legal right to know theorigin of our food. This makes good,common sense. Unfortunately, theWorld Trade Organization (WTO)is trying to force the United Statesto weaken our COOL law.

Good morning from Kadoka.What a difference a few days canmake. In our area, a predicted win-ter storm came in Saturday nightwith freezing rain after a full dayof fog. Interstate 90 was closed forabout 160 miles early in the daySunday and that was extendedeast to the Minnesota border andnorthward from Sioux Falls laterin the day. Many travelers mayscoff at the weather and proceedon, ignoring the dire consequencesof being caught in a blizzard. Thistime, winter was kind to all of us inthis area, only leaving a skiff ofsnow and winds that carried thatabout making visibility bad in theopen areas. I’m reading the book “The Chil-dren’s Blizzard” that occurred Jan-uary 12, 1888, sweeping across theDakotas, Nebraska and Minnesota.There were weather stations set upthat relayed weather informationby telegraph to towns, but it wasnearly impossible to get word tosettlers, nothing like the ability ofcitizens to know instant weather intoday’s world. We grouse about amissed forecast, but better to beforewarned and prepared than tobe caught by a blizzard unpre-pared. Monday, Bill was still in theRochester hospital. The good

things was he was out of ICU andin a room and able to have food andlimited water. I took friend ChrisLayfield from Columbus, Ga., andwe explored the town of Rochester.There were many historical build-ings and lots of wonderful olderstructures. We had an enjoyable af-ternoon, away from the hospital.That evening, cousin Craig and PatBuswell from Hastings came andvisited Bill and me at the hospital,then I was their supper guest. Tony Harty was out and aboutMonday, picking up his mail thenvisited at the home of Shirley Hair.Tuesday was another story, he wasnot feeling the best so returnedhome after getting the mail. We got word that Kent andCindy O’Connell’s son, Michael,had bowled a score of 880 in leaguebowling, two 300 games and a 280one. Wow, congratulations on thatscore. He set records in the Min-neapolis, Minn., bowling alley. Robin Gittings, Kristie Eden,Doug Zinnel and Natalie andKohen Gittings left Monday morn-ing for Iowa. Kinsey Gittings tookhis grandpa, George Gittings, toPierre for a doctor's appointmentMonday. George and Kinsey took abed to Jessica Gittings thatevening in Philip. Sandee Gittingswent to Ft. Pierre Monday after-

noon for three days of schooling forher job. She returned home Thurs-day afternoon. Tuesday morning as I peeked outof the window at my room inRochester, it was snowing and vis-ibility was not good. It was a goodtime to get the news done and notget too excited to get out on thestreets. About 10:30 I showed up atthe hospital to find that Bill wasdischarged! He got dressed and wehustled over to the motel to gatherup everything and were on the roadtoward Sioux Falls by noon. Theroads had improved, but snowdrifted across in different areas, soit meant pay attention to driving.We made Sioux Falls about 4:30and settled in at granddaughterAmanda and Adam Claflin’s for thenight. Amanda fixed supper and in-vited grandson Eric Seager andfamily for supper and visiting. Thekids are growing up fast. Don and Vi Moody had corral re-pairs to take care of earlier thisweek with the help of Brian Koehn.A partial windbreak was installedto fill a gap in the south corral.They were in Philip Tuesday onbusiness. Sympathy is extended to thefamilies of Bill Lee and Ida Hunt. Kinsey Gittings left for IowaTuesday. George Gittings was ableto work the sale in Philip. Wednesday morning early, Billand I were on the road to home.After settling in at home, greetingthe cat, working through the pile ofmail on the table, and making sev-eral trips to an empty mailbox, I fi-nally called the postmistress. Shewas prepared, the mail carrier toldher we didn’t have any mail in casewe called to complain! It was goodto be home, we felt like “Dorothy”from the “Wizard of Oz.” There’s noplace like home. Wednesday, Ralph and CathyFiedler took advantage of a beauti-ful day and drove to Philip to seeCathy’s mom, Katy Drageset. Theyhad lunch with her at the nursinghomes, did a couple of errands forher, and stopped by the sale barncafé to visit with Diana andRichard Stewart, stopping back atthe nursing home for one morecheck on Katy before heading forSturgis. Don and Vi Moody left the ranchlate Wednesday evening headed totheir Rapid Valley place after hav-ing lunch at the PLA café. Theykept appointments in Rapid Thurs-day and enjoyed the nice weatherby taking a drive to Deadwood forlunch and an early Mardi Gras cel-ebration. They visited with Kathy(Pearson) Willuweit and saw friendBruce Weber, who had lost hiswife, Bonnie, who was playing in atournament. The Webers wereneighbors in Rapid Valley for along time and knew Phil and KarenCarley’s folks and many others inthe Valley. Bonnie used to driveinto Philip on business from Merri-man, Neb., where they soldhaystack movers. Friday, they re-turned home by way of Philip forDon's physical at Philip HealthServices and everything checkedout in fine order. It was figuredthat his dizziness wasn't the flu

shot after all, but possibly a bit ofinterior ear infection, but all waswell. Wednesday was another nice daywith temperatures in the 50s. TonyHarty picked up Shirley Hair andtook her to get the mail and visited. Valentine’s Day is fast approach-ing. The history of Valentine's Dayand the story of its patron saint isshrouded in mystery. We do knowthat February has long been cele-brated as a month of romance, andthat St. Valentine's Day, as weknow it today, contains vestiges ofboth Christian and ancient Romantradition. So it’s time to get thosecards in the mail, candy in hand orwhatever. It is quite an outstand-ing day when kids enjoy the collec-tion of cards from their friends andclassmates with a special box deco-rated to receive those cards. Thisholiday is celebrated February 14,in the United States and manycountries and is a good time toshow friendship. Don and ViMoody celebrate their anniversarythat day. Thursday, Tony Harty picked uphis and the Hair’s mail and deliv-ered it to Shirley, who was a littleunder the weather. Temperatureswere in the 50s again today. Friday, Lee Vaughan surprisedus with a visit in the afternoon.Phyllis Word and Tony Harty werealso visitors in the afternoon. An-other nice warm day was enjoyed. Friday after Cathy Fiedler got offwork she and Ralph went toSpearfish to do some errands. Theystopped by the Don Klumb home todrop off some treats for the girls forValentine’s Day. Caitlin and Tessaboth were resting because theywere not feeling well. Next, theywent out to the Eric Hanson hometo give Elsie and Loman theirValentine treats and had a nicevisit with Eric and Sherry and alsosaw Elsie’s science project she haddone. They stopped for some sup-per before heading home. Friday and Saturday, TonyHarty took it pretty easy, going outto eat and visited with Shirley Hairto check on her condition Friday.Saturday he talked with his niece,Kathy Brown, who was at awrestling meet in Wall and hecalled others to check on them aswell. He did go for groceries and

the mail and got things lined up incase the weather report was accu-rate. Saturday morning, Lee Vaughancame to our place and joined me fora trip to Chamberlain to the SouthDakota Pilots Association meeting.We picked up Myra Christensen atthe Vivian/Pierre exit on the way.The up and coming commander forCivil Air Patrol of the Pierresquadron also joined us for dinnerand the meeting. It was foggy allthe way there and we encounteredfreezing rain and fog on the wayhome. Grandson Zack Seagercalled and thought he may come fora visit, but we encouraged him tostay off the roads in case theweather did turn vicious as pre-dicted. Bill got cabin fever andwent to his “second home” thePhilip card room. Good therapy forwhat ails you. A huge blizzard hit the northeastpart of the United States again –this time Connecticut really re-ceived a bunch of snow. Vi Moodycalled her friend, Nancy Gaylord,Friday night when the storm al-ready had been snowing heavilyand then Nancy returned the callSunday to say they had 40" atBranford, Conn., near New Haven.Stalled cars were being lifted offthe freeways with forklifts to clearthe roads for emergency personnel.The Weather Channel really gave

coverage on this situation againwith lots of pictures. Weather in the Sturgis area wasnice all week until Sunday whenwind, snow and blizzard conditionscame howling in. Only about fourinches of snow in Sturgis, but re-ally hard to tell with it blowingaround all day. When you get up to wind beatingat the walls you peek out the win-dow oh so carefully to see whathappened while you were sleeping.Only a light snow greeted us Sun-day morning and it was swirlingaround, trying to find a place tosettle. The freezing rain had accu-mulated into black ice however, soInterstate 90 was closed from Wallto Chamberlain early in the morn-ing, but only after a number of ve-hicles were swished off the roads,churches were cancelled and it wasa good day to stay home. Welearned that the emergency whis-tles had sounded two times at leastduring the night. Bill looked at meand said we better get our earschecked because we slept throughit all. “We hear with our ears, but listenwith our eyes.” Daysies Brian Koehn stopped by in theafternoon with a project for me totackle. “Happiness is a thing to be prac-ticed.” Daysies

*** February 2, Groundhog’s Day, itwas nice and sunny, so probably wewill have at least six weeks more ofwinter. I don’t remember of a yearwhen we didn’t. At Somerset Court, we had agood time with Susan making St.Valentine’s Day cards. Susanbrought lacy paper doilies andhearts and we dreamed up somepretty Valentines. The Valentinebunch that I saw were Eileen, Mar-jorie G., Agnes, Fred, Floy, IreneCox and Vivian. Susan took photos.Thanks. Susan set up a movie for us onSaturday. The move was“Christie,” based on a book byKatherine Marshall. It is set in thebeautiful great Smokey Mountains.There was this lovely young

teacher who did her best to helpthe mostly miserable kids and fam-ilies in her charge. I didn’t feel upto such a big dose. I didn’t hear thedialog well either. When Carol and Al and I were atWall Drug Friday. We saw a Hus-tead and a junior Hustead. Theyadmitted they were Husteads. Wehad a fine lunch of hamburgers,chili, cinnamon rolls and the fa-mous five-cent Wall Drug coffee.We had a good time people watch-ing and asked about old acquain-tances. Gretchen Rausch stillworks there but was off on Friday.Max and Nancy Hauk usuallycome over every Sunday morning,Lorna Moore, who lives down atQuinn, drops in sometimes. Weasked about Dale Keyser and thegirl told us that he would be enter-taining 50 people at Wall Drug onSunday, February 3, 2013, for his94th birthday. Happy birthday,Dale, old buddy! (We were in thesame Haakon County eighth gradeclass in 1933.) At Wall Drug, we met a delight-ful artist, Mary Jo Van Dell, Still-water, Minn. She gave us a cardand one can view some of her paint-ings on her website. We found a gorgeous book in theWall Drug Hole in the Wall bookstore about Fairburn agates. Wesaw small ice on the CheyenneRiver. We remembered to saluteFuddy’s “prairie palm” at mile post94 on Interstate 90. Now that we have a new printerin the Somerset Court computer

lab, I can be gabby again. I am sohappy to have the use of a newprinter. Thanks, Somerset Court. New developments in the life ofconcrete. It seems that in order touse more environmentally correctways of grinding the ingredients ofthe powder know as Portland con-crete, the resulting product is notas structurally strong as the pro-duced by the old method. Why is iscalled Portland concrete? Google itup and find out. We are glad that Somerset Courtresident, Ida Lutz, is having thehelp of her friend, Yvonne, whileBill Lutz is in the hospital. Friday evening, Carol, Al and Iwent over to my granddaughter,Sheridan’s, house and she gaveCarol and me facials. Sheridanmade us a Mongolian dish calledbuuz, pronounced boze. Buuz is anourishing whole meal in a dish.Thanks, Sheridan. To preparebuuz, you make a simple flour andwater dough and roll it out as fornoodles. Cut it into five inchsquares, put a spoonful of the ham-burger, rice, shredded carrots andonions if you like, on each square.Fold the dough over and press to-gether the edges, making manysmall bags. Steam this mixture ina meat broth. Some people may eatseveral. Tiger told me the names ofsome cartoon characters. I didn’tknow that the big guy is Pete, thewitchy mouse is Minnie, and Daisymouse has the pink hat. Of coursethere is Goofy, who seems to be adog. My niece’s daughter, Kay John-son Werner, Barrington, Ill., sent a2013 Johnson family calendar.Thank you. It is great to see all mygood-looking relatives and havetheir updated addresses andemails. February 3, 2013, at SomersetCourt, we had church with Steve,Terry, Addie and Jack. Thanks,folks. Some of the songs we sangwere “There Shall Be Showers ofBlessing,” “We Shall Gather at theRiver,” and “My Redeemer.” Thosewho attended were Irene McK-night, Marilyn Butts, LucilleHuether, Don Stensgaard, Charlie

Hathaway, Connie Stevens, andher daughter, Teri, Irma, LoisSchulz, Eileen, Jim Holmes,Shirley Hodgson, Annetta, HelenAmundson, and Vivian. The Rapid City Journal for Feb-ruary 2, 2013, had a column byReb. Lin Jennewein. It seems thata group of students were asked toname the seven wonders of theworld. You probably have seen alist including the Great Wall ofChina, the Pyramids of Egypt, theTaj Mahal, the Grand Canyon, thePanama Canal, the Empire StateBuilding, and St. Peter’s Basilica.There was this one girl, who saidshe was having a problem narrow-ing down the list. She read off herlist. “I think the seven wonders ofthe world are 1) to touch 2) to taste3) to see 4) to hear 5) to feel 6) tolaugh 7) to love.” Rev. Jennisonsaid she hadn’t thought of the storyfor 10 years or so. She said shewould put love even if you can’t seeor hear. I would add my own list: aleaf, a feather, a snowflake, ahoney bee, an agate. In the February 3, 2013 RapidCity Journal, the Rapid City li-brary mentions a new sort of gamecalled “blackout poetry.” You takea magazine story or some sort ofprinted story and cross out words,leaving only a poem. Sunday, February 3, 2013, atSomerset Court we had a SuperBowl party. On third floor in thepool room and in the hospitalityarea, there were TVs with the foot-ball game on and a good selectionof snacks. There was a goodturnout. Thanks, Somerset Courtand our activity directors. Monday, February 4, at Somer-set Court, we had the activity ofcrafts with Amy. Sandy and Shawnwere there to help too. Residentswho attended were Fred Smith,Mildred Young and her helper,Kay, Floy, Addie, Irene Cox, IreneMcKnight, Mary Lou, Eileen, Mar-cella, Eleanor, Marilyn B. and Vi-vian. We had pretty houses to dec-orate with stick-on hearts andthings in the St. Valentine motif.We also had scratch-offs thatturned out to be a picture of a boxof chocolates. The back side said,“sweets for my sweet.” We also re-ceived a nice big envelope to sendout Valentines in. Thank you for anentertaining activity. At 2:00 p.m. at Somerset Court,we had the movie of “Open Road.”I couldn’t hear the dialog, so I left.We had a little whist with Irene A.,Irene C., Ina Oerlline, Marcellaand Vivian playing. Mary Lou andFloy played rummi-cube. In the mail, I had a nice notefrom Darlene Baye. Thanks, Dar-lene. I also got a bill from thegarbage service and it has gone up.

Teagan played ball and col-ored with crayons. We went over toEileen Tenold’s and took a photo ofEileen’s pretty St. Valentine’s dec-orations. I failed to collect any news, so Iwill include some Grindstone Newsby Joy Keve Hauk from January16, 1936. “Eides and Buls wereamong those who gave very niceparties during vacation for theyoung people home for the holi-days. – Palmers, Ed Knutson, EdSlovek and Hauks put up ice fromthe Percy dam the last of theweek. – Ice is a foot thick and offine quality. At least eight familieswill put up ice soon in this vicinity.Indications are that a 10 milesquare around Grindstone will con-tain 160 tons of ice this summer.Not much like a few years agowhen there was no ice betweenReynicks and Matt Smiths. –Ladies Aid met with Mrs. EggenThursday. The hostess served afine dinner, after which the usualbusiness meeting was held. Groupsinging under the leadership ofMrs. Sammons was a pleasant fea-ture of the afternoon. – A big crowdwas at Kiel’s dam Sunday after-

noon. Many were spectators, butthere were lots of skaters to furnishfun for themselves and the onlook-ers. Hump and Hank had them-selves a fine time, but so did Duck,Westbrook, Rick, the Kiels, Percys,Deans, Hauks, and others. Theyplayed tag, tried figure skating andfell down plenty.

*** At resident’s council we were re-minded of several things to do. Besure your Social Security checks godirectly to the bank.

William “Bill” Robert Lee_________________________

“Loving husband and father,a true American”

William “Bill” Robert Lee, 81years young, of Springdale, Ark.,formerly of Midland, S.D., suc-cumbed to heart failure at the VAMedical Center’s Palliative Carefacility in Fayetteville, Ark., at6:55 p.m. on February 5, 2013. Bill was born in Midland toWilliam and Electa Pearl (John-son) Lee on May 5, 1931, andraised on his dad's homestead,Golden Willow Ranch, north of Ot-tumwa. He was educated at theMattison County School where hegraduated the eighth grade. Billfinished his schooling by GEDwhile in the military. Before joining the Army, Billwas the 4-H leader for the PrairieRangers and served with HelenHeeb and Walt Sandal. He wonthe Congress Award and was givena trip to Chicago. He was all pre-pared to enter the service of theArmy and actually postponed it sohe could make that trip! It was during a 4-H camp tripthat he first met Connie Carr, whowas only about 11 years old at thetime, and it was not love at firstsight. Bill was Camp King thatyear and since he was 17 years oldthere was no romance in the air forthe two of them. But “meant to be”has a way of making things hap-pen. Bill joined the Army in Januaryof 1953 and was stationed at CampRoberts in Petaluma, Calif. Heserved during the Korean War. Hewas a sharpshooter with the M1rifle and was a squad leader for amedic unit. Bill was a member of atop secret team in the ASA (ArmySecurity Agency). Unbeknownst tohis family, Bill was out of the coun-try many times, behind enemylines, helping to get wounded sol-diers to safety. He was honorablydischarged in June 1959. It wasafter Bill returned home from theservice that he and Connie metagain and the sparks quickly flew.They were married August 6,1960, in Philip at the MethodistChurch. A blessed couple, they had a fulllife in their loving marriage of 52years. They had three children to-gether. Bill loved to go on familyhunting and fishing trips. Manytimes, at the beginning of thehunting season, he would let hiskids follow him as he was “track-ing a deer.” Now, any hunterknows the deer wouldn't be caughtwithin hearing distance of threekids. Bill would take them “care-fully” and “quietly,” walkingthrough the creek beds or wher-ever they happened to be. Bill is remembered as a strong,yet compassionate man. He lovedto work with his hands and lovedremodeling houses. Most of theirhomes while growing up had somepart of the house in a remodelingproject. Many times Connie won-dered if she would ever be rid of allthe sawdust. Bill loved rock hunt-ing. Many a vacation was spentout in the middle of nowhere look-

ing for agates, geodes, and what-ever rock could be polished. Hehad a tumbler which he used to getthem polished, but somehow henever got around to making thejewelry he intended to create.There was always a box of “beauti-fully polished” rocks somewhere inthe garage or his shop, waiting tobe turned into a treasure. But thereal treasure was Bill. Bill had a love for gardening, es-pecially flowers. In the spring, peo-ple would slowly drive past wher-ever they lived to admire his flow-ers. He battled many a pesky go-pher, even naming a few, all thewhile trying to find ways to pre-vent them from destroying hisbeautifying projects. Bill lovedwoodworking and building thingswith his hands. He could be foundin his shop working with his jig-saw building something, and allhis kids have jigsaw puzzles thathe created for them as Christmasgifts one year. Bill had a gentlespirit, filled with love and he wasloved mightily in response by allwho knew him. He also loved to play cards. Heand Connie found some wonderfulneighbors who also loved to playcards. They spent many eveningsplaying Joker, Whist, Pinochle anda number of other card games. And just when you thoughtthere couldn’t possibly be anymore to Bill Lee – husband, father,brother, son, patriot, woodworker,amateur horticulturist, hunter,fisherman, and loyal friend tomany – not done yet! Bill was anIFR-rated pilot who owned twoplanes – a Piper Cub and a CessnaSky Master. And, of course, hetaught his boys to fly. His son,Todd, recalls a very important les-son. It seems Todd was having abit of trouble picking up the detailshis dad was trying to give him. Fi-nally, Bill said to his son “Let’sstart simple. When you push thisforward, the cows get bigger.When you pull it back, the cowsget smaller.” Well, that made it allcome together for Todd and, onceagain, dad was king. Even though that’s a pretty ful-filling life, Bill kept busy withwork and his affiliations as well!He and his nephew, Walter “Ju-nior” Van Tassel, became partnerson the Golden Willow Ranch andraised their families together. In

1963 Golden Willow Seeds wasstarted, so along with the ranchthat raised registered Black Anguscattle and farming, the seed busi-ness included certified seeds andcustom grain cleaning. Bill was aspassionate about his work as hewas about his family. He usedConklin products in his farmingactivities on the ranch. He wassold on the products so he startedselling them to his friends and

The weather forecast was forlots of snow across the state ofSouth Dakota this past weekend.Some places got that predictedsnow. As, for our area, the snowwas much less then was predicted.We did get some snow, and it wasa wet snow, and on Sunday thewind whopped it up pretty good. In-terstate 90 was closed from Wall toSioux Falls, and was still closedthis Monday morning. There weremany school cancellations. Huntfamily members flew into RapidCity, only to be stranded, due toroad closings. Some came fromWyoming, making it to Rapid City,same story, I-90 closed to SiouxFalls. But, they found an alternateroute so made it to Midland. Thesun is shining this Monday after-noon. Relatives from the easternpart of the state were unable tomake it to the funeral service forIda Hunt, Monday afternoon, dueto the heavy snowfall, where theylive. My brother, Phil Meyers,Pierre, shared memories of Ida andthe Hunt family at the funeralservice. Family got word that Ida (Fos-heim) Hunt passed away Tuesdayevening, February 5, 2013. Herparents, Thor and Gjertina Fos-heim, came from Norway with twosmall children, Pete and Esther, toa land they did not know, with alanguage they did not speak. Theyeventually wound up in theMoenville/Deep Creek area wherethey raised their family. Elevenchildren were born to Thor andGjertina, nine girls and two boys,Margaret and George, died in in-fancy. Ida was the youngest, andthe last of her siblings to passaway. With Ida passing away, aperson feels a bit nostalgic, as all ofthe aunts, an uncle, and theirspouses are now but a memory.Pete Fosheim was the lone boy inthe family, growing up with abunch of girls. When I look back onthe legacy of our grandparents, Ican’t help but think, just howblessed all of us cousins are to havebeen a part of such a legacy. TheDeep Creek community will alwaysbe a special part of that legacy.And, the Deep Creek Church,which grandpa and other pioneersin the area helped build, stillstands on that hill, and the ceme-tery nearby is a story in itself, asthe many headstones tell of familymembers buried there.

Don Sandal, Pierre, whose par-ents Art and Mildred Sandal werea big part of the Deep Creek com-munity, was at Ida’s funeral serv-ice. We got to visiting about familyand Deep Creek. When Pastor O.H.Olson and his wife, Ingeborg, livedin the Lutheran parsonage here inMidland, while serving as pastor, apart of that parsonage became usedfor delivering babies. Don was thefirst baby born there. Ida was stay-ing with the Olsons at that time,working for her room and board,while going to high school in Mid-land. She was the age of 16 whenDon was born. I do enjoy those fam-ily history stories. As many of you remember, Idawrote the Midland News for the Pi-oneer Review newspaper of Philip,for many, many years. Monday wasthe day for collecting and writingup that news. It still is. So, havinggone to the funeral, visiting withfamily there, I am now at homewriting up the Midland News col-umn for this week. Ida got to thepoint she no longer felt up to doingthe news and so talked me into tak-ing it over. At the beginning, I re-member going up to Ida’s afterwriting it up, getting her opinion.Her comment would sometimes be,“Getting kind of wordy.” As I con-tinued to write and she would lookit over, it was high praise when shetold me, “You are getting better,not so wordy.” By wordy, it meantI was using too many words in de-scribing a certain something. Be-cause of Ida, each week I continueto work at getting down what Iwant to say without getting“wordy.” She was a big help, mak-ing me aware of a certain way towrite. We wish to express our sym-pathy to Ida’s family on the loss oftheir mom, grandmother, andgreat-grandmother. Reminder: Trinity LutheranChurch in Midland will once againbe doing their Lenten suppers from5:00 – 6:30, with Lenten servicesbeginning at 7:00. February 20 –Tacos; March 6 – pancake and waf-fles; March 20 – baked potato bar.March 17 they will have a Sedermeal during Lenten services. So,come and enjoy a good meal. Youwon’t be sorry you did. Trinity Lutheran Church ladiesentertained at the Philip NursingHome Friday, February 8, withScotti Block playing songs on thepiano and valentines, made by the

Sunday school kids, passed out tothe residents. Thursday, February 7, Jerryand Joy Jones and their son-in-law,Mike Trapp, headed for Pierre forthe National Honor Society cere-mony of which Mike’s son, andJerry and Joy’s grandson,Chauncey Trapp, was one of the in-ductees. He is a junior at T.F. RiggsHigh School. Mike and Debbie’skids go to school in Pierre. Debbieand the kids stay in Pierre duringthe week. There was a nice recep-tion following the ceremony at theRiggs complex. Joy reports Lee andMary Briggs granddaughter, Cat-tibrie Riggle, was also one of the in-ductees. Congratulations toChauncey and Cattibrie. Ronnie and Emily Sammonswent to the home of their daughter,Corinne, and her husband, MitchNorman. Others there wereCorinne and Mitch’s son, Ty andTara Norman and Hayden. Mitchwas the cook for a birthday partyfor Corinne. Happy birthday,Corinne. Emily Sammons and Judy Dalywere guests of Judy’s mom, MarieAnderson, of the Silverleaf at agreat place to eat in Philip. Family got together to celebrateArline Petoske’s 90th birthdaywith a supper and birthday cake atThe Steakhouse in Philip. Three ofher kids and spouses were there:Jim and Barb Petoske, Barb andMorrie Jones and Jody and GaryBlock, along with four of her grand-children and their families. It wason a week night so those from a dis-tance couldn’t be there. Arline hasbeen enjoying the many birthdaycards she’s been getting in themail. Making it extra nice was hergranddaughter, Lori Petoske, wholives in Massachusetts, was home,so was there. Barb Petoske’s folks,Bob and Ardis McCormick,Kadoka, were also there, having achance to see their granddaughter,Lori, as well. The other night, Jerry and Iwere enjoying polka music on theMolly B Polka Party TV Show.Love that polka music. It broughtback memories of the kids bringinghome friends from college, tellingthem if I began to dance around inthe kitchen when making a meal,not to worry, I was a-okay, just en-joying that polka music. Broughtback memories of a certain Valen-tine’s Day ball held in Midland. It

was the year 1960, our senior classyear, and the first dance of this sortheld in the Midland Legion Hall.There were judges, choosing thesweetheart of the ball, who woundup being a classmate of ours, MaryLou (Foster) Wallner. Mary Louloved to dance. I was visiting withMary Lou about that last night.Laughing, she said she remembersthat night well, and said she wasgiven a Barbie type doll in a heartshaped box and still has it to thisday. Good memories. Jerry remembers Henry andDena Martin having dances intheir home when he was growingup. He said Henry played the fiddleand he thought a Crawford playedan instrument as well. So, I calledMickey (Martin) Woitte to get moreof the story. She said her dad,Henry, did play the fiddle. BillCrawford played the piano. BobCrawford played the banjo, andwhen her brother, Herb, was homehe played the guitar. She remem-bers everyone having a good time.A time of dancing, having lunch,and just enjoying being together.We both agreed folks today havemissed out on that good old-fash-ioned fun with those local bands. Itseems we are too busy being in ahurry to get somewhere. Mom usedto tell of her and her sisters goingto barn dances and how much funit was. Folks used to go to eachother’s homes to play cards, too. Ivan Schanzenbach remembersplaying cards in the Little EagleSchool, not far from where he lives,at the Kirley Hall, and the base-ment of the old bank building inMidland. He had to chuckle as hetold of the air getting pretty thickin the basement of that bank build-ing, as some folks smoked cigars.Guess I’m getting a bit nostalgic.Does that mean I’m getting old? Idon’t think so; I think it has some-thing to do with my aunt, IdaHunt’s, funeral service yesterday.It seems we get so busy goingsomewhere, we forget to enjoywhere we are. In closing, I leave you with someparts from an email I got from afriend, Maureen (Gillaspie)Wadahl. It has a picture of a childand under the picture it says,“When you thought I wasn’t look-ing.” It is a keeper email with les-sons to be learned. I can’t, ofcourse, write all it has to say, buthere is some of it. When youthought I wasn’t looking, I saw you

make my favorite cake for me, andI learned that the little things canbe the special things in life. Whenyou thought I wasn’t looking, Ilearned most of life’s lessons that Ineed to know to be a good and pro-ductive person when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn’t looking,I looked at you and wanted to say,‘Thanks for all the things I sawwhen you thought I wasn’t looking.’ Have a good day and a goodweek.

Actually, I probably should-n't say that our area is "snow cov-ered" – the winds got a little west-ern here over the weekend, and thewind blew some areas clear andpiled the snow in ravines andditches. The snow also formed im-pressive drifts in some areas. Butwhatever the case, the moisture iswelcome. According to MargeBriggs, our local weather datarecorder, we received about fiveinches of snow and .40” of moisture.Thank you, God, now please keep itcoming. After our desperately dryconditions last year, we will need alot more moisture for the pasturesand crops next spring. Plus, we willneed some run-off to fill the dams. First of all, my sympathy to thefamily of Ida (Fosheim) Hunt. Idawas born and raised in the DeepCreek community, and she still hasmany relatives here. It is amazingto me that she and her husbandraised 18 children – what an ac-complishment. She was one ofthose people who are so vital totheir communities – willing to giveof their time and talents – and itsounds like her home was a havenfor her children as well as theirfriends. She will be missed, but herlegacy will live on through her fam-ily. I also want to send get wellwishes to David Hand. At thistime, Dave is in the Rapid City Re-gional Hospital, recovering from aheart attack. Dave got sick over theweekend and went to the Philiphospital Sunday – I'm sure thatwas a difficult trip with the bliz-zard conditions we were experienc-ing. He was taken to Rapid City byambulance, and he received twostents Sunday evening to open upsome arteries. It sounds like he isdoing well, and I hope he'll be ableto come home soon. Thank good-ness for the excellent medical careoffered at Philip and Rapid City.My husband Randy compared re-ceiving stents to getting an engineoverhaul, so once Dave gets home,the challenge will probably be tokeep him slowed down while he re-covers. It is music contest time again forstudents in the area, and the an-nual music contest at Mobridgewas held last week. When our chil-dren were in school in Pierre, I en-joyed attending the contest – ourarea always seemed to produce alot of musically talented students.These days, one of those talentedstudents is Joni Willoughby,daughter of Jeff and JulieWilloughby. Joni is a sophomore atRiggs High School in Pierre, and

she excels at music and drama. Iunderstand she is also an excellentstudent, but that doesn't surpriseme. I sometimes think that these"country kids" have an advantageover kids who aren't lucky enoughto grow up in the country. Theyhave an excellent work ethic, theytend to be more mature, and theyunderstand the value of setting agoal and working hard to achievethat goal – it doesn't just happen.Joni's hard work paid off last week,when she received five superiorratings and one excellent rating forher efforts. She received a 1+ rat-ing on her vocal solo, and she camewithin one point of receiving a 1+on her saxophone solo – that isamazing. So, congratulations toJoni. Keep up the great work! Lee and Mary Briggs stopped into spend time with Lee's mother,Lil Briggs, Tuesday and Wednes-day of last week. It sounds like Lilis doing pretty well, although somedays are better than others. Thurs-day, Lee and Mary were on hand tosee their granddaughter, CattibrieRiggle, be inducted into the Na-tional Honor Society in Pierre. An-other local youngster, ChaunceyTrapp, was also inducted. Maryworked from home Friday, and Fri-day night she burned the midnightoil putting the finishing touches ona formal dress for granddaughterCattibrie. Saturday, Kinsey Riggle came tothe Briggs ranch to spend timewith her grandparents, as her par-ents, Clay and Rea Riggle, wereheaded to Rapid City. Clay and Reajoined Keva (Briggs) Joens inRapid City to celebrate Keva'sbirthday. Clay and Rea returned totheir home in Pierre Sunday, pick-ing up Kinsey en route. Rea andClay said the roads were slushy inspots and the visibility was notgood in some areas, but they madeit home without incident. Clint and Laura Alleman con-tinue to stay busy. Clint is keptbusy doing ranch chores, andLaura is busy with her householdchores. I know Laura and daughterAlivya sometimes help Clint withthe cattle feeding, and from the pic-tures I've seen, I would say they allenjoy their time together. LittleAlivya has been busy creatingvalentines and dragging out toys,but fortunately her mother saysshe is a good "picker-upper," whichhelps a lot. Laura is especially busythis time of year with her duties asdirector of the upcoming Hayesplay. She said some days it feelslike there are not enough hours inthe day to accomplish her to-do list.Friday, Clint, Laura and Alivyawent to the home of T.J. and Jea-nine Gabriel. Adam and JodiRoseth and family were also there.The guys looked at bulls, and thegals spent time visiting. The week-end storm kept the Alleman familyshut in for a bit, but they were gladto see the moisture. Last Saturday, Duane Rosethand his son, Thor Roseth, attendedan auctioneer contest in Valentine,Neb. Jeff Long, one of the auction-eers at Philip Livestock, wasamong the contestants. Duane saidthe roads were a little slick in spotson the trip home. Dick and Gene Hudson recentlyreturned from a two-week trip tovisit family members. (They weregone so long that some of the neigh-bors were wondering if they hadrun away from home.) Their firststop was Columbus, Neb., wherethey visited their daughter, DebbieBurma, and her family. They alsovisited their grandchildren, Chrisand Courtney, at the colleges theyattend. They went on to Godfrey,Ill., and spent several days visitingGene's brother, Leland Snook, hiswife, Carol, and their daughters,Shelley and Susan, and their fami-lies. The next stop was Davenport,Iowa, where they visited Kennyand Marie Spinsby. The weatherturned a little nasty while theywere there, but they waited for bet-ter weather before heading backwest. Gene said there were a num-ber of vehicles in the ditch betweenDavenport and Des Moines. Theyspent some time in Lincoln, Neb.,visiting Dick's sister and her hus-band, Norma and Larry Schenkel,and they spent time with Dick'sbrother, Don, and Don's familynear Stromsburg, Neb. They saidthey encountered some rain andsnow on their travels, but for themost part they had good travel con-ditions. They had a good time vis-iting relatives, and they are glad tobe back home. Billy and Arlyne have been closeto home this past week. Arlyne saidit was one of those "neat weeks,"when she was able to stay homeand work on puzzles. Nels and Dorothy were in Pierreon Friday, getting groceries andvisiting with their friends, the

Obituaries, con’t.William “Bill” Robert Lee__________

(continued from page 5)neighbors. Driven to succeed atanything he did, Bill ultimately be-came Conklin’s “Salesperson of theYear” with the company’s first$50,000 month from one person!He was one of the first of eightarea managers for Conklin. There was a “tough” side to Billand it was reflected in his involve-ment with his community. Youcan’t be in demand to participateon numerous boards without hav-ing a gift for knowing when to takea stand. Bill served on the SouthDakota State Board of Agriculturewhere he developed industry andeducational relationships throughnumerous board meetings atSouth Dakota State University inBrookings. He served with SDSUPresident Briggs on the Board ofDirectors for the SDCIA (SouthDakota Crop Improvement Associ-ation), the Board of Directors forCertified Seeds, and the Board ofDirectors for the Prairie Village inMadison. In 1973, Bill wasawarded the South Dakota Farm-stead Beautification Award fromthe Haakon County ConservationDistrict. He was a lifetime memberof Granite Threshing Bee in Gran-ite, Iowa. Additionally, he was apast Master of the Masonic Lodgein Midland, and was a 32nd De-gree Shriner. Bill was a busy man! Declining health, caused by ex-posure to chemicals in the seedcleaning dust, forced Bill and Wal-ter to dissolve their partnership in1970. Bill and Connie then pur-chased the Bernard ArmstrongRanch north of Midland. In 1974,they decided to move the family tothe Rapid City area to be closer tothe health care Bill needed. It was-n't long before they decided thedoctors in Sioux Falls were betterand they moved to the eastern sideof South Dakota. Bill became disabled in 1989when a drunk driver hit his semi-truck, sending his rig over the sideof the mountain near the Ten-nessee/North Carolina border.This added more health issues toBill’s already difficult conditionand, in 2008, Bill and Connie de-cided to retire. A move to Arkansaswhere they could be near theOzark Mountains they loved andbe in a warmer climate was aneasy decision to make. This alsoput them closer to Branson, Mo.,where they loved to visit many ofthe music places. The driving force behind Bill’sability to overcome all adversityand come out on top was that hedearly loved his family. When thegrandchildren started arriving,Bill loved sharing the things hehad passion for and passing alonghis knowledge in such a wide arrayof topics. He looked forward tosharing with each new generationas the great-grandchildren startedarriving. He was proud of the ac-complishments of his children,grandchildren, and great-grand-children. One of his granddaugh-ters shared with Grandma re-cently that "Grandpa was always

so strong and could fix anything."Everyone agreed. He collected an-tique tractors and was a big Inter-national Harvester fan. Conniewas indulgent about Bill’s love forall things “tractor” and Bill wasable to add another thing to hislong list of passions. Not long ago, Bill ran into an-other Korean War Vet. They got totalking and discovered they hadbeen on some of the same missionstogether. They were able to remi-nisce about the daring helicopterpilot who was able to fly them inand out of some pretty rough expe-riences as they helped injured sol-diers. Bill was so very proud tohave served his country. He wasproud to be an American – throughand through. He was proud toserve his country. When he wasgiven his Korean War Veteran capa couple of years ago, he proudlywore it everywhere he went as areminder of the country he loved. Bill is survived by his wife of 52years, Connie (Carr) Lee; a daugh-ter Sandra (Jack) Nantais of Cen-terville; two sons, Mike Lee ofFairview, Mont., and Todd(Tammy) Lee of Apple Valley,Minn.; a sister, Fern Konst ofPhilip; a brother-in-law, Jim(Deanna) Carr of Pueblo, Colo.;eight grandchildren, Dan (Kenzi)Lee, Ashley Osterkamp, Nick Lee,Veronica (Robert) Knockenmus,Alisha Lee, Hannah Lee, ElliottLee, and Katie Lee; three step-grandchildren - Adam (Sarah)Nantais, Erica Nantais, and Joel(Holly) Nantais; three great-grandchildren, Paige Knocken-mus, Robert Michael Knockenmusand Landon Michael Lee; multiplenieces and nephews; and a host ofrelatives and friends. He was preceded in death by hisparents, William and Electa Pearl(Johnson) Lee; half-sisters, Ruth(Caster) Blumenthal and Edna(Caster) Jones; half-brother,Grover Caster; baby grandson,Eric Lee; infant nephew, RichardKonst; nephew, Walter "Junior"Van Tassel; and niece, Esther(Konst) Burns. Bill always gave more than ex-pected, and he will proudly serveGod in Heaven. But his family isleft with the memories of a soft,gentle, compassionate man wholoved them all. He will be greatlymissed.

An effort to have state authoriza-tion for a new cemetery for veter-ans on the eastern end of SouthDakota died in the House State Af-fairs Committee this past week inPierre. Representative Stace Nelson, R-Fulton, presented the bill February6, with a host of veterans in the au-dience looking on. Nelson said thebill was seeking authority to pur-chase 50 acres of land along I-90,but there was no state money in-volved. He said there were “plentyof South Dakotans with a kindheart who will be honored to do-nate to this.” Steve Harding, Department ofVeterans Affairs, agreed with the“good intentions,” but opposed itbecause of the cost and the lack ofa need. He said the Black Hills Na-tional Cemetery near Sturgis al-ready is in existence, and two othercemeteries at Ogalala and Rosebudreservations at Pine Ridge andMission, respectively, recentlywere given authority to moveahead. South Dakota has 70,000 veter-ans and three cemeteries, Hardingsaid, while North Dakota has60,000 veterans with one statecemetery. Local municipalities, he said,

have the option to have areas des-ignated in current cemeteries forveterans. Nelson said the veterans are notasking the state for a nationalcemetery, but the veterans wouldtake it on as a project to raise themoney. Nelson said communitieswould be interested in having thismemorial park. While it would notbe a “windfall,” he said, it would at-tract visitors, who would buy gasand food while there. He said theywould seek a donor of 50 acresalong the I-90 corridor. The reason for seeking anothercemetery on the eastern side of thestate was to make it easier for rel-atives to visit the graves of theirloved ones, rather than having totravel across the state. Committee members resisted theproposal, citing several problemswith the bill. Rep. David Nostrup,R-Aberdeen, said there was noth-ing stopping the veterans fromworking on such a project, and did-n’t need the state authority to doso. While just short of 100 legisla-tors had signed on to the bill, Nos-trup included, and Rep. BernieHunhoff, D-Yankton, had askedthat it be kept alive to be debatedby the full House, the bill waskilled in committee on a 9-4 vote.

Veterans fail to get stateauthority for cemetery by Elizabeth “Sam” Grosz

Community News Service Cuts made two years ago acrossmost of state government programsresulted in the loss of $168,000from the veterans service officerfund. A bill approved by the HouseState Affairs Committee February6, HB1249, would reinstate thatfunding to counties who have suchan officer. This person helps veter-ans receive their benefits from thefederal government. Representative Lance Carson, R-Mitchell, said with over 70,000 vet-erans eligible, only about 26,000currently are taking part in whathas been awarded to them. “We send several hundred youngpeople into combat zones,” saidCarson, “and many return withproblems that need to be ad-dressed.” Rep. Spencer Hawley, D-Brook-ings, said two years ago when thecuts were made, he didn’t think itwas a necessary cut, and this one

was “a slap in the face” of veterans.He supported having the fundingreinstated, noting that countieswill have to apply for the reim-bursement, once the money is actu-ally spent on veterans service offi-cer activities. Sen. Bill Van Gerpen, R-Tyndall,who had not been in the Legisla-ture when the cut was made, saidhe was “shocked and stunned whenI learned South Dakota had de-cided to quit funding” the VSO. Theperception, he said, was that of thestate not supporting its veterans. Gene Murphy, Disabled Ameri-can Veterans, said veteran suiciderates are at an all-time high thispast year. Also, the DAV has 28vans that make daily trips, bring-ing veterans to appointments. Thegovernment, said Murphy, “wasn’tconcerned about dollars when itsent these people to war.” The bill was sent to the Housefloor with a 13-0 “do pass” recom-mendation.

Welcome to the Pioneer Re-view’s newest column, a space toshare helpful hints (household toranching), recipes, bits of wisdom,you name it, we’ll probably have it.

We’ll pass ideas along, but willmake no guarrantees to thereader.

One friend shared that you caneasily wash the fruit by placingthem in a sinkful of water with acup of vinegar. Let soak for 10minutes, rinse and dry. This notonly washes the residue off, butmay also extend the life of some ofthe fruits.

Another suggestion is to cut upyour orange and lemon rinds andadd them to your bottle of vinegar.The oils from the rinds are sup-posed to mix with the vinegar, giv-ing more cleaning power and afresh scent.

If you can’t use your celery upright away, go ahead and freeze it.I was chopping it up and parboil-ing it and then freezing it, buthave found out that it is okay toput it directly in a freezer con-tainer then into the freezer. Iwould suggest chopping it up first.This makes it easier to use forsoups, etc.

There are a few people, (I admitI am one) who have not had muchto do with avocados. So for thoseothers like me here are a fewhints.

The website www.avocadocen-tral.com said upripe avocados canbe stored at room temperature onthe counter out of direct sunlightfor faster ripening. If you cut openan avacado and decide it is not

ripe enough, the site advises tosprinkle the exposed flesh withlemon or line juice, place thehalves back together, cover tightlywith plastic wrap and place in re-frigerator. Check occassionaly forripeness.

The site recommends not freez-ing the avacados, but notes theycan be frozen as a puree withlemon or lime juice added to pre-vent browning.

Old Business:PWD Reckling updated the Council onthe Lift Station wet well repairs. He notedthat weather permitting, the City Engi-neer, Harlan Quenzer with SPN & Assoc.,will be in town next week to inspect thewell. He stressed that all safety precau-tions will be taken in order to lower one ofthem down the well for the inspection.

Council was advised that the West RiverMuseum property, legally described asthe West 50’ of the North Half of Lot 02,Block 02, Original Town, City of Philip,SD, has been deeded to the City of Philipper the Council’s prior consent. Followingthe filing of said deed, a lease agreementfor the maintenance of the property hasbeen entered into with the Philip GardenClub. They will be developing the areainto a park.

Council reviewed a request from DemeonBrown, representing John Parsons, to ex-tend the hangar lease for Mr. Parsons’airplane beyond the deadline of May 30,2013. Mr. Brown is concerned that the air-plane will not be in flying order by the pre-vious established deadline and asks thatthe Council continue to house the air-plane until such time. In turn, he is guar-anteeing that payment for the hangarlease will be made six months in ad-vance.

It was noted that the City has not had anyinterest in renting the space that their air-plane is occupying.

Following discussion, motion was madeby Arthur, seconded by Matt to approveMr. Brown’s request contingent upon re-ceipt of the guaranteed six months of ad-vance payments for the hangar lease.Motion carried.

New Business:

Wood/Walden Ave. Utility and Street Im-prov. Project:Jeff McCormick, engineer with SPN &Assoc., reviewed the following bids forthe project, noting that the engineer’s es-timate for the project is $1,320,000.00.The bids were opened at 4:00 p.m. todayin the presence of the Street Committee,Mayor, and Finance Officer.

MainLine Contracting, Rapid City, SD -$1,616,919.15 R.C.S. Construction Inc., Rapid City,SD - $1,340,397.00 Site Work Specialists Inc., Rapid City,SD - $1,495,558.35 Quinn Construction Inc., Rapid City,SD - $1,563,810.00 Carstensen Contracting Inc., Pipe-stone, MN - $1,423,134.25 Highmark, Inc., Black Hawk, SD -$1,398,123.90 Menning Backhoe, LLC, Mitchell, SD -$1,459,848.58 Hills Material Company, Rapid City, SD- $1,729,961.05 First Rate Excavate Inc., Sioux Falls,SD - $1,654,470.25 Rosebud Concrete Inc., Winner, SD -$1,326,375.50

Mr. McCormick reported Rosebud Con-crete, Inc. is the low bidder and they havemet all of the bid requirements, providingall of the necessary documentation. Hevoiced no concern for awarding the bid atthis time, advising that the approval wouldneed to be made contingent upon on theCity’s funding agency's review and ap-proval.

Mayor Vetter pointed out that Rosebud’sbid for the curb and gutter (C&G) is$22.00 per lineal foot which is approxi-mately 33% higher than the engineer’sestimate of $15.00 per lineal foot. Theproperty owners were previously notifiedof the estimated amount so in his opinion,this needed to be addressed. He didmention that Rosebud’s bid for C&Gamounts per lineal foot was within therange of the other bids received; with thelowest cost being $18.70 per lineal footand the highest being $30.91 per linealfoot.

FO Van Lint reminded everyone that theeven though the actual costs for C&G arehigher than the estimate, the propertyowners will still only be responsible for40% of the final costs with the City payingthe remaining 60%. She noted that theproperty owners will be contacted in thenear future with the actual costs once thebid amounts are applied to the special as-sessment role.

Mr. McCormick confirmed that he wouldbe updating the special assessment fig-ures with the actual costs per theawarded bid amounts.

Following review, motion was made byGartner, seconded by Matt to approve thelow bid from Rosebud Concrete Inc. inthe amount of $1,326,375.50 for theWood/Walden Ave. Utility and Street Im-prov. project. The bid is approved contin-gent upon the City’s funding agency's ap-proval. Motion carried with all membersvoting aye.

It was noted that the project start date willbe determined at a later date.

Motion was then made by Arthur, sec-onded by Gartner to authorize theMayor’s signature on the Application forthe Notice of Intent for General Permit forTemporary Discharges & Water Use Per-mit through the SD Dept. of Env. & Natu-ral Resources for the above referencedproject. Motion carried.

Motion was made by Harry, seconded byArthur to authorize the Mayor’s signatureon the Application for the Notice of Intentto Obtain Coverage under the SWD Gen-eral Permit for Storm Water DischargeAssociated with the above referencedproject’s construction activities. Applica-tion to be submitted through the SD Dept.of Env. & Natural Resources. Motion car-ried.

Mayor Vetter brought forth the discussionof the property owner’s responsibility forthe service line replacements from theback of curb to their private residences. Itwas noted that City policy places the re-sponsibility on the property owner for thewater service from the curb stop to theresidence and from the main to residencefor sewer service. In the instance of theCity doing an improvement project, theCity is responsible for the replacement ofthe water and sewer service lines fromthe new water and sewer mains to theback of the curb on the properties. Prop-erty owners that desire replacing any ad-ditional service line on their property,have the option to make arrangementswith the awarded contractor or a contrac-tor of their choice at their expense.

Mr. McCormick stated that the sewermains will be replaced on both N. WoodAve. and Walden Ave. These will be re-placed up to the point of the existingwater service curb stop or as close to theproperty line as may be practical. Shouldthe sewer service line be of good qualityPVC pipe, it will be connected at thatpoint.

Mr. McCormick then advised that a newwater main will also be installed onWalden Ave. in addition to the sewermain. This brings about a unique situationfor one property owner, Tami Carstensen,as the connection of the water service toher property could be shortened by con-necting the property to the new main.Currently her water line extends from thewater main on High St. and travels down-hill to the south-side of her property. Thenew water and sewer service could enterthe east-side of her property.

The Council was then questioned if theyplan to follow the replacement policy forimprovement projects during this project’sproposed water and sewer main replace-ments or if they plan to make exceptions?

Mayor and Council posed questionsabout Carstensen’s service line; if it ismetered, past reported water leaks, waterflow and/or pressure complaints. In addi-tion, would the City benefit from movingher service line and connecting to thenew main on Walden Ave.?

PWD Reckling stated that in his opinion,moving her service line to the main onWalden Ave. would benefit the City. Thiswould remove an unnecessary serviceline connection as well as risks for un-

countable water loss if the line wouldincur another leak. He reported that herservice line has experienced at least oneleak in the past that he is aware of andunfortunately, the water is not metereduntil it enters her home. In addition, shehas not made any complaints of waterflow or pressure.

Council Member Arthur agreed with PWDReckling, stating that it would be more ofa benefit to the City than the propertyowner in this situation.

It was noted that the expenses to moveCarstensen’s service line would includeapproximately 25 to 30 feet of new waterline. The bid from Rosebud for this is$32.00/foot for one-inch water servicepipe for a rough estimated cost of$900.00.

Council Member Larson suggested thatthe City may benefit from contracting witha local contractor for this work consider-ing the bid costs from Rosebud Concrete.

Council Member Henrie mentioned andGartner confirmed that he is in favor ofthe possibility of cost-sharing the expenselike that of the special assessments forC&G, driveway approaches, etc. in cer-tain circumstances such as Carstensen’s.

FO Van Lint noted that Carstensen madethe inquiry as she would like to be madeaware of the potential costs that will be in-curred to connect with her existing serv-ice line and made no mention of a favorfrom the City.

Mayor Vetter went on to stress that theCouncil needs to take precautions whenmaking these types of decisions as it willbe setting precedence. If the City incursthe expenses to move her service line, itneeds to be justified that it is to the benefitof the City.

Following a lengthy discussion, motionwas made Matt, seconded by Gartner tofollow the replacement policy for improve-ment projects during this project’s pro-posed water and sewer main replace-ments with the exception of Carstensen’sservice line. Additional information andcost-sharing options will be gathered forCarstensen’s service line. Motion carried.

E. Pine St./Wray Ave. Overlay Project:Mr. McCormick went on to review the fol-lowing bids for the E. Pine St./Wray Ave.Overlay project, noting that the engineer’sestimate for the project is $209,000.00.He noted that the bids were opened todayin conjunction with the Wood/WaldenAve. project bids.

Bituminous Paving, Inc., Ortonville, MN- $288,516.00 Sacrison Paving Inc., Whitewood, SD- $259,259.59 Simon Contractors of SD, Rapid City,SD - $281,129.80 J&J Asphalt Company, Rapid City, SD- $217,135.10 Hills Material Company, Rapid City, SD- $229,974.00 Morris Inc., Pierre, SD - $267,288.00

Mr. McCormick reported that J&J Asphaltis the low bidder for the project. He notedthat he is not familiar with this companyand advised the Council of their optionsfor the bid. One being that they can awardthe bid at this time or wait until further ref-erence checks and research on the con-tractor can be completed. The researchwould include McCormick contacting thereferences listed in their bid documentswhich were reviewed. It was noted thatthe majority of their work history appearsto be parking lots with the exception oftwo streets for the City of Rapid City.

Mayor Vetter questioned if anyone in theaudience was familiar with the company.With no information available, he ex-pressed his reservations for awarding thebid without doing further research on thecompany. He would like reassurance thatthe City’s tax dollars will be spent on goodquality work, especially in this high trafficarea.

Council Member Arthur then questionedthe amount of work that the contractor isresponsible for prior to overlaying thestreet? McCormick advised that theyhave included 650 square yards for re-pairs to the existing asphalt and 50 ton ofasphalt leveling course. This work will bedone prior to laying asphalt as well as theconcrete that will be installed at the inter-section of Hone St. and Wray Ave.

FO Van Lint informed the Council thatthey have thirty days following a bid open-ing to award or reject the bids.

It was also noted that the City appropri-ated $233,000.00 for this overlay project.

Following discussion, motion was madeby Matt, seconded by Arthur to table thebids for the E. Pine St./Wray Ave. Overlayproject at this time. The Street Commit-

tee, Engineer, and Mayor are authorizedto conduct further research and review ofJ&J Asphalt Company and award the bidif the findings are acceptable. Motion car-ried with all members voting aye.

Mr. McCormick confirmed that he will con-tact their references and report his find-ings to the Mayor and Street Committeein order for a decision to be made withinthe next thirty days.

Wood/Walden Ave. and E. Pine St./WrayAve. Projects:Motion was made by Arthur, seconded byGartner to authorize the Mayor’s signa-ture on the SD Dept. of Transportationapplication for permit to occupy right-of-way for the above referenced projects.Motion carried with all members votingaye.

Council reviewed the material testing pro-posals from American Technical Services(ATS) for the above referenced projects.The cost estimates for the Wood/WaldenAve. project is $18,273.00 and the E.Pine St/Wray Ave. project is $5,172.00.

Mr. McCormick advised the Council thatthe majority of the services proposed byATS are already covered under the pro-ject’s construction engineering agree-ments with SPN & Assoc. The only differ-ence is that of the asphalt plant testing,which according to McCormick would becompleted if necessary and at the Coun-cil’s discretion. He is confident that ATS’sproposal is an unnecessary expense.

Following review, motion was made byGartner, seconded by Harry to decline en-tering into the above referenced contractproposals from ATS. Motion carried withall members voting aye.

Council went on to discuss the projects’water use consumption during construc-tion and the fees that will be charged tothe contractors.

Mr. McCormick stated that his office re-ceived inquiries during the bidding of theprojects for a price quote for the waterconsumption that will be needed to con-trol moisture during backfilling and rollingasphalt. He advised them that they wouldhave access to water through the bulkwater station or a hydrant meter at theregular city water rate of $5.00 per 1,000gallons. He then questioned if these arethe correct fees that will be charged to thecontractors, noting that the City will be re-sponsible to pay their water supplier forall water consumption.

Mayor Vetter questioned if the Citycharges a hook-up fee for placing a meteron a fire hydrant? PWD Reckling advisedthat a fee for this service has not been es-tablished in which Vetter recommendedthe City consider implementing a fee tocover the City personnel’s time for thiswork.

Motion was made by Harry, seconded byGartner to allow the contractors to eitherpull water from a metered hydrant and/orthe bulk water station at the establishedwater rate of $5.00 per 1,000 gallons dur-ing construction. Motion carried.

Motion was made by Matt, seconded byGartner to approve the official plat of N.Wood Ave., bisecting Tracts I and J, lo-cated in 13-1-20, Philip Acreage, HaakonCounty, City of Philip, SD; and, authorizethe City Official’s signatures thereon. Mo-tion carried.Mayor, Council and those in attendancethanked Mr. McCormick as he left themeeting at this time.

Airport:Council reviewed the project status up-date for the Land Acquisition and Environ-mental Assessment (LA/EA); and, boththe project and construction status up-dates for the Medium Intensity RunwayLighting (MIRL) project as prepared byRod Senn, Airport Engineer with Kadr-mas, Lee and Jackson (KLJ).

The MIRL project’s final pay request toMuth Electric, Inc. was not available atthis time.

Council reviewed the following buildingpermits: Cork’s - sewer repair/replace-ment; and, David Fitzgerald - carport.

Following review, motion was made byArthur, seconded by Harry to approve theabove the building permits as presented.Motion carried.

Mayor Vetter advised the Council of theopportunity for Philip to benefit from theUniversity of North Dakota’s (UND) “Payit Forward” program. The university willbe bringing in 40 students to work onMarch 9th, 2013. They will provide thelabor with the stipulation that the commu-nity or organization provide the materialsneeded to complete the project or proj-ects. Some examples of their past proj-ects include cleaning up areas, painting,

and entertaining at nursing homes. Inthese instances, some of the requiredmaterials would be yard tools, paint, etc.

It was suggested to appoint a steeringcommittee for the program. They wouldbe responsible for identifying and coordi-nating the local projects with the UND’scontact person. Mayor Vetter and CouncilMember Henrie agreed to be on the com-mittee.

The City Finance Office has contactedvarious groups and organizations in thecommunity to identify projects that wouldbenefit from this program. Some potentialproject ideas included the new park beingestablished by the Philip Garden Club,the baseball/softball fields, and entertain-ing at the nursing home to name a few.The concern is that the majority of proj-ects would be outdoors and with the timeof year they are coming, there is no guar-antee that the weather will cooperate.

Mayor Vetter stated that this is an unbe-lievable offer and it would be hard to turnit down, but unfortunately we also need tohave work for them.

The possibility to move their arrival dateto later in the spring or summer was men-tioned. DFO Smith confirmed that shewould contact their project coordinatorand inquire about possibly changing thedate. If they are not able to change thedate, project ideas will need to be final-ized in the very near future or unfortu-nately, we will need to decline their offer.

Smith also noted that if the projects canbe found, the group will need a place tostay on the evening of March 8th. She willbe in contact with the school and/orchurches for this accommodation.

Mayor Vetter then recommended thateach Council Member contact at leastone community member for project ideasand report their findings to the City Fi-nance Office by the end of the week.

After months of travel and re-cruiting, Dakota Wesleyan Univer-sity football coach Ross Cimpl in-troduced the Tigers’ first 33 re-cruits for the 2013 season to theDWU campus and Mitchell com-munity Wednesday morning at asigning day party at the ShermanCenter on the Dakota Wesleyancampus. Cimpl, who completed his firstseason as head coach at DakotaWesleyan in 2012, said he waslooking to focus on the offensiveand defensive line positions as wellas defensive back, wide receiver,running back and quarterback po-sitions with this recruiting class.The Tigers added 18 offensive play-ers and 15 defensive players totheir roster with this first wave ofrecruits, including five offensivelinemen and four defensive line-men. Included in the list of recruits isCassidy Schnabel, a 6’0”, 180pound senior at Philip High School. “Since I started playing, it hasbeen a dream of mine to go on andplay college ball and now I canmake that dream a reality,” statedSchnabel. A three-year starter and four-time letter winner for the Scotties,he recorded 180 career tackles, anall-conference honorable mentionselection as a junior and senior,also lettered twice in basketballand once in track, and was a mem-ber of the A honor roll for threeyears. He is the son of Doug andNancy Thorson. Schnabel is stillundecided on a major, but will be aDWU linebacker. Of DWU’s first 32 recruits, 18come from within the borders ofSouth Dakota. Four come from Cal-

ifornia, two each from Wyoming,Nebraska and Texas and the restcome from New Mexico, Minnesota,Iowa, Arizona and Idaho. On theoffensive side of the ball, 11 areskill position players, including fivewide receivers. “This recruiting class has a largenumber of guys who have the abil-ity to make a significant contribu-tion right away next fall,” saidCimpl, who went 6-4 in his firstseason as head coach. “I think theoverall talent in this class is one ofthe best groups that we have everhad by signing day. I think coacheshave done a tremendous job of ad-dressing our needs and we haveguys who can fill those needs for usimmediately.” Cimpl added that he is hoping toadd a few more names to theTigers’ 2013 roster, including moredefensive backs and both offensiveand defensive linemen.

Each year, juniors at Philip HighSchool are encouraged to apply toattend a Youth Business Adven-ture leadership conference at ei-ther Black Hills State University,Spearfish, June 2-7, or Universityof South Dakota, Vermillion, June16-21. Applications must be turnedin to the high school guidance officeby February 25. Three local businesses/organiza-tions contribute for representativesfrom Philip to attend. The cost perstudent is $250. Often this is cov-ered by donations from the FirstNational Bank in Philip (contribu-tor for 30 years), Krofam Inc. (con-tributor for 30 plus years) and thePhilip Chamber of Commerce (con-tributor for 27 years). YBA states that its mission is tohelp South Dakota high school stu-dents and teachers to better under-stand the American private enter-prise system and how business op-erates within it. YBA also show-cases the business opportunites in

South Dakota. YBA is for juniors who want toactively plan for a future in busi-ness. YBA reminds students thatnearly every profession in Americais a business, that includes doctors,lawyers, engineers, etc. Jasper Diegel, YBA executive di-rector, Pierre, said that there is nolimit to the number of studentswho may attend from Philip. “Weask students to speak about YBA toother students in their schools andtheir community. Students writethank you letters to the businesssponsors to let them know abouttheir YBA experience,” statedDiegel. The 2013 agenda is still be final-ized. In the past, small groups havecompeted in product creation andpromotion, heard presentations bylocal business owners and chief ofoperations, created their own prod-uct commercials, as well as othercorporate activities.

Clarification In the Pioneer Review’s Feb-

ruary 7 issue is a photo of a

Lady Scottie being fouled dur-

ing a Philip versus Oelrichs

basketball game. That Philip

player, wearing the #2 jersey

for that game, was Ellie Coyle.

Four points difference at thefinal buzzer was enough for a closedefeat of the Philip Lady Scottiesbasketball team by the LymanRaiders. Philip’s comeback attemptwas in Presho, Thursday, February7. The Scotties are in District 14B,while the Raiders are in District13B The first quarter was a slow siz-ing up of each team by the other.Low scores were balanced with ballpassing and down-the-floor action.The second quarter was a speed upfor the Raiders, but the Scottiescould only get one more point. The second half began withLyman continuing its new pace,while Philip put it in high gear totry to make up for the second quar-ter. The final quarter saw Philipclose in on their opponents, gettingwithin just four points before thegame was over.

The third quarter saw a tied 11-11score. The final quarter had fourpoints being put in by the Scotties,but seven being sunk by theRaiders, for a close loss for Philip.

Scotties fall to Dupree Tigers

A slow start was turned aroundby the Philip Scotties boys’ basket-ball team against the visitingLyman Raiders, Friday, February8. The Scotties got the tip-off, thenlost possession and watched theRaiders sink a three-pointer to befirst on the scoreboard. Almost afull minute into play, Philip got afield goal of its own. They thencould not sink anything else untiltwo minutes remained in the quar-ter, while Lyman racked up a 13-point lead. The first three minutes of thesecond quarter saw an explosivecomeback by Philip, pulling up to a16-19 score. With 1:50 still on thefirst half clock, the Scottiesgrabbed the lead 25-24, only towatch a Lyman three-pointer go inbefore the buzzer. The third quarter was a teeter-totter of scoring, with Philip moreoften ahead. A Lyman playerwound up, the buzzer sounded asthe ball was going up, and the thirdquarter ended with the Raidersholding a one-point lead. Ball possession kept changinghands during the final quarter.Philip reclaimed the lead, only tolose it. From the five minute mark,the Scotties kept the lead, barelystaying ahead of the Lyman bas-kets. A 1:20 was still on the clockwhen Lyman tied the game at 51-51. After a timeout, Philip had pos-session and 17 seconds to do some-thing to try and win the game. AScottie player wound up, thebuzzer sounded and a three-pointshot found its mark ... only to havethe referees determine the buzzercame before the shot left theplayer’s hands. The game was tied. Overtime, though, was anticli-mactic. Philip owned the score-board. Out of the four minutes ofplay, Lyman could do nothing toslow the Philip onslaught of fieldgoals and free throws. With only 28seconds left, the Raiders finallymade one field goal. Philip kept upits own scoring until the buzzer de-clared a clear win for the Philip

Scotties.

Hartmanns. Other than that, they

just settled in to enjoy the blizzard

over the weekend.

Max and Joyce Jones were in

Blunt last Friday to help with

Eastern Star Official Visit. They

had planned to be in the Black

Hills for more Eastern Star work

over the weekend, but it was post-

poned due to weather.

Shirley Halligan was in town for

an Altar Guild meeting Wednes-

day. Following the meeting, Shirley

joined Reta Lathem and Lila

Briggs for lunch in honor of Reta's

86th birthday. Happy birthday to

Reta. Saturday, Shirley and Laura

Hand traveled to Pierre to attend a

screening of "The Buffalo King," a

documentary film about James

"Scotty" Philip, produced and di-

rected by Justin Koehler, son of

Mike and Cindy Koehler of the

Midland area. Shirley said it was

excellent. The film has been en-

tered in several upcoming film fes-

tivals, and hopefully it will gain the

recognition it deserves. Following

is some information regarding

Scotty Philip, borrowed from "The

Buffalo King" facebook page. "Scot-

tish-born James (Scotty) Philip was

a successful rancher and promi-

nent cattleman. He served as

guide, scout, and dispatch rider at

Fort Robinson. In 1881, he began

ranching and soon became involved

in real estate, banking and politics

as well. Philip is credited with

helping to save the bison from ex-

tinction. His herd of 57 buffalo

grew to 900 and formed the basis

for several herds in the country, in-

cluding the herd now at Custer

State Park. Eulogized as "a man of

large stature, large plans and large

heart," Philip was one of the first

South Dakotans named to the Na-

tional Cowboy Hall of Fame." Con-

gratulations to Justin and others

involved in this project!

Kevin Neuhauser, Randy

Neuhauser, Mitch Norman, and

T.J. Gabriel attended a Masonic

Lodge meeting in Philip last

Wednesday evening. Friday, Kevin

caught a ride into Pierre, and he

and Mary attended a hockey game

before returning to the ranch. Mary

returned to her job in Pierre Mon-

day morning following our week-

end snowstorm.

Connie Hudson took son Avery to

Pierre Saturday so he could take

the ACT test. Avery is a junior at

Philip High School. Jon took son

Noah to a 4-H meeting and BB gun

practice Saturday at Kirley Hall.

Connie reported that there are two

new students at Cheyenne School,

bringing their total to 11 students.

There was a birthday party this

past weekend for Hailee Briggs,

four-year-old daughter of Chase

and Kelly Briggs. In honor of the

birthday, Chase and Kelly took the

kids swimming in Pierre. Happy

birthday to Hailee!

Ron and Helen Beckwith's

daughter, Lori, has spent the past

week at the ranch with her par-

ents. They traveled to Pierre Sat-

urday so Lori's sister, Rose Briggs,

could give her a haircut. They did-

n't stay in town long, because the

threat of bad weather made them

hurry back to the ranch. Ron has

been doing chores for Ben Doty

while Ben attended funeral serv-

ices for his grandfather. Ben works

for Lee Smith at the former Hamil-

ton and Harsha places. Friend Rick

Harter came from Rapid City to do

some goose hunting over the week-

end. Monday, neighbor Ben and

some of his friends from Wisconsin

were guests of Ron and Helen, and

they enjoyed a fish fry.

I was in Philip Thursday to make

preparations for an upcoming

Farm Bureau meeting. I then went

to Kadoka to visit my mother,

Letoy Brown. We took advantage of

the nice weather and paid a visit to

my aunt, Florence Hogen. Friday,

mom and I took care of some er-

rands, and mom kept a doctor's ap-

pointment at the Kadoka Clinic.

We also stopped in to visit the crew

at the Jackson County Courthouse,

where mom spent so many years

serving as the county treasurer. I

returned to the ranch Friday

evening.

This week, I am grateful for run-

ning water. When we lived in a

trailer house during the first year

or so of our marriage, it wasn't un-

usual to have frozen pipes. What a

pain that was. I got to thinking this

week about our ancestors who had

to haul every bit of water they

used. I've heard stories about how

the water was hauled in and

heated to do the laundry, then after

all the clothes were washed, that

same water was used to wash the

floor or whatever else needed

washing, and when the water was

too dirty to clean anything else, it

was dumped on the garden to help

the vegetables grow. The same

went for bath time, which usually

occurred once a week. The water

was heated and poured into a gal-

vanized tub, and family members

took turns taking a bath in the

same water. I'm sure the bath

water was a little cool and not too

clean by the time the last bath was

completed. After watching the

amount of water I use in this house

on a normal day, I think I could use

a lesson in conserving. It is some-

thing to think about. I am guilty of

taking our water for granted.

I hope all of you have a wonder-

ful week. Remember, Thursday,

February 14, is Valentine's Day.

But every day is a good day to let

your loved ones know how much

you care.

Moenville News(continued from page 5) by Elizabeth “Sam” Grosz

Community News Service The four percent sales tax onfood items remains intact after aproposal to cut it failed to make itout of the House Taxation Commit-tee recently. The tax would have been de-creased to zero percent, whichthrough a technicality, would haveallowed cities to continue chargingtheir one or two percent currentlyin place. Representative Marc Feinstein,D-Sioux Falls, led the discussion,noting that the approximate ninepercent of sales tax revenue“shouldn’t be wagging the dog of 91percent of revenue ... nine percentis not that significant.” This was the fifth year for thisattempt, but Feinstein noted thatthe reasons it had been voted down

before “are no longer there.” “We tax ... sales tax on baby foodand formula,” Feinstein said, “butnot for pigs and horses – that’swrong.” Rep. Ray Ring, D-Vermillion,and a retired college economics pro-fessor, backed up Feinstein’s argu-ment, noting 64,000 are in the bot-tom 20 percent of income. Throughcalculations, he noted that thesefamilies should pay 30 percent oftheir food bill, with the other 70percent covered by food stamps. Inactual expense, he said, about halfof their food expense is covered byfood stamps and the other half theywould pay the tax. Feinstein said for a family ofthree, with a net income of $1,591per month, or grossing $24,000 peryear, they would receive only $86in food stamps.

“That is a lot less than the aver-age of $312 per month” that istouted in discussions, Feinsteinsaid. “We have an immoral tax sys-tem,” commented Rep. Bernie Hun-hoff, D-Yankton, adding “in SouthDakota we have the poorest of thepoor,” yet they are taxed for food. The bill was resisted by the stateDepartment of Revenue, and theBureau of Finance and Manage-ment. Officials said the state’s

broad tax base allows many to paya little without placing a large bur-den on anyone. Those states with-out sales tax on food, it was noted,generally have another source ofmoney, such as Alaska with its oilproduction. Despite the passionate support ofDemocrats, their four votes werethe only ones cast to pass the bill,while 10 voted to kill it. It was sentto the 41st day, an action meant tokeep it from being brought upagain during this session.
