by Del Bartels This year’s one-act drama by thePhilip High School actors and crew,“Discovering Rogue,” placed in thetop two positions at the Region VII-B contest. The students now willperform their acting skills at thestate one-act festival, Thursdaythrough Saturday, January 31, andFebruary 1-2, at the Brandon Val-ley Performing Arts Center. The regional judges also honoredPhilip actors Rachel Parsons andJane Poss with outstanding per-former awards, and Brooke Nelsonreceived honorable mention. Wall High School’s one-act entry,“Orphan Trains,” also earned oneof the top two positions at regions.At state, Philip will perform at12:30 p.m., January 31, and Wallwill perform at 8:15 p.m., February1. Philip director Laura O’Connorand Wall director Ron Burtz invitethe public to attend extra showings

of the plays, Sunday, January 27.Both casts will first perform inWall at the Powerhouse, in the oldschool building, starting at 1:30p.m. with Philip performing first.Then the casts and crews willtravel to Philip to perform in theFine Arts Building, starting at 5:00p.m., with Wall performing first. According to O’Connor, bothcasts have made changes to theirshows and are eager to show theiraudiences what will be appearingbefore the state judges. They willhave a free will offering for admis-sion to cover the cost of additionalroyalty fees due to the added per-formances. Wall’s “Orphan Train,” writtenby Deborah Craig, includes 17characters and four crew members.It portrays the Children’s Aid Soci-ety of New York efforts from the1850s to 1920s to transport over200,000 orphaned and neglectedchildren to the west and to new

families. O’Connor said that the SDHSAAState One-Act Play Festival is nota competition; rather, it is a chancefor casts from across the state tosee three days of plays in a festivalsetting, which means the classes ofschools are not separated and thedaily rotation of plays is AA, A andB, AA, A, B, etc. AA schools auto-matically advance and can performwhichever type of play they choose:comedy or drama, whereas the Aschools and B schools must com-pete at a region level to advance tothe festival and are on a rotation ofcomedy and serious. This year's ro-tation is for the A schools to per-form comedies and the B schools toperform serious shows. The topaward at the festival is to receive asuperior play award as a cast andindividually to receive the out-standing performer or outstandingensemble recognition.

The Midland Volunteer Fire De-partment recently held a fund-raiser raffle for a quarter of beef. The department raised over$2,000, with matching funds of$1,500 from Modern Woodmen ofAmerica. The two winners of thedrawing were Murdo Ford andMike Stroppel. The beef was do-nated by the Roseth brothers. The funds will go toward upgrad-ing the Midland Unit 5, also knownas the Ottumwa truck. Accordingto Reuban Vollmer, Jr., the currentfire truck is a 1979 International,which has many aging problems. Inthe past few years it has had me-chanical failure and has beendeemed unusable as a dependablefire truck. The old fire truck’s replacementwill be a 1998 International, four-wheel drive, which was a formerpower company bucket truck. Itwill be equipped with a 1,000 gal-lon tank, a foam unit, emergencylights and a state compatible radio.The unit will be staged at GoldenWillow Seeds during the summermonths, providing quicker re-sponse to emergencies in that area.

Along with working with the otherMidland units and other equip-ment, this unit will assist Philip,Milesville and Hayes fire depart-

ments. Vollmer said that the Mid-land department is moving forwardin the building of the new firetruck.

The local youth dancers, the Shake-It-Up girls, performed during halftime at the January 14 Philip High School Lady Scottiesbasketball game. The girls showed off their new poodle skirts, made by Gloria French. During a medley of music styles, thegroup displayed a variety of dance styles – from sunglasses-sassy, to jitterbug, to line dancing and others.

Lookin’ Around by Syd Iwan

“Money can’t buy happiness, butit can buy chickens, and that’spretty much the same thing.” Iread this little saying the other dayand thought, “That’s about right.”For some strange reason, I’ve al-ways liked having those silly crit-ters running around the placemaking it homey. They’re sodreadfully optimistic and cheerful.They can hardly wait to start eachnew day since there is bound to besomething wonderful just about tohappen, or so they think. Open thedoor or gate in the morning, andthe birds don’t just wander out.They run and fly out to spread inall four directions. Pretty soonthey’re chasing grasshoppers,scratching busily in the dirt, tak-ing dust baths, and generally hav-ing a grand old time. Watching allthis lifts my spirits and makes mesmile. My neighbor, Chuck, apparentlyfeels somewhat the same way.They haven’t had any chickensaround their place for a number ofyears, but Chuck has been plottingto get some for quite a while. Lastspring he finally got things to-gether enough to order some babychicks so he now has eggs to sellfrom time to time. Since I unfortu-nately do not have any hens myselfat present, this is good becausefarm-raised eggs do taste betterthan those shipped in to the gro-cery stores. They have more color-ful yolks as well and firmer shells. Better-tasting eggs, actually,and more of them, are one of themain advantages of having chick-ens around. In my experience andfinancially speaking, you aren’t aptto make much money raisingchickens. You’re probably lucky tobreak even. The birds are satisfy-ing in other terms, some of whichI’ve just mentioned, but as amoney-maker not so much. Early last year, Chuck askedwhat breeds I’d found that mightwork out well for him. Heavenknows I’ve had enough experiencethrough raising thousands ofchickens over the years and tryingdozens of breeds from tiny littlebantams to huge old things. I saidI’d found Hubbard Golden Comethens to be the best layers of brown-shelled eggs and some form ofLeghorns for white. Cornish-Rocksare the best meat chickens by far.Chuck eventually took some of myadvice but also ordered some just

for fun and because their color etc.appealed to him. I know he gotsome roosters because Ted at ourriver place can hear them crowingfrom across the river on a quietday. What doesn’t work very well arethose breeds that our touted asdual-purpose. These are supposedto be good producers of both meatand eggs. In practice, those hensdon’t lay nearly as well as the onesbred strictly for egg production.The roosters also tend to get toughbefore they’re big enough to havemuch meat on them. I remembermany years ago when Chuck’swife, Merry, was grumblingaround one day that she’dbutchered an old rooster and triedto boil it up for soup. Her commentwas, “I boiled that sucker for threedays, and it was still tough.” Thatmay have been a slight overstate-ment, but it is probably true thatany rooster over six-months oldshould just be fed to the cats.Cooking it is apt to be a waste oftime. Any rooster much over two-months of age, in fact, is going tobe a little tough unless you fricas-see it which involves cooking it areally long time. Well, as you can probably tell, aperson raises chickens because heor she enjoys it and reaps somebenefits along the way althoughprobably not financially. That ap-plies to lots of other things as wellsuch as gardening. You can buyyour veggies about as cheaply asyou can raise them, but somehome-raised ones taste ever somuch better. Other pursuits thatgrab people’s interest and timemight include hunting, fishing,woodworking, quilting, knitting,sewing, and genealogy. Thesethings might not make you rich,but they might make you happy. By the way, I saw another say-ing the other day that probably ap-plies to neighbor Chuck along withthe one about chickens. That onegoes, “The most important thing inlife is to be yourself, unless you canbe a cowboy. Always be a cowboy.”Chuck and a whole lot of other peo-ple around here would definitelysubscribe to that theory. It tendsto get in the blood. Put anotherway, we might say, “Money can’tbuy happiness, but it can buyhorses and cattle, and that’s prettymuch the same thing.”

Video game mania ... by Del Bartels

The advancement of electronic entertainment is bewildering. An HD

flatscreen television with surround sound can also work as a computer

screen, thus can be used for two-way visual skyping, that is if you don’t

want to use your Android or iPhone to see the other person. There are

still some people around who remember black and white console tele-

visions that needed a bent wire coat hanger as rabbit ears.

The dime-operated telephone booth has been replaced with everyone

having a cell phone. The phrase “It’s your dime,” makes no sense to

teenagers. The only reason they recognize Pac-man is it’s so retro. Now

you can kill your video bad guy with swords, guns, bazookas, lasers,

cars and level 11 warrior king martial arts ability. At least an old tele-

phone can go in a landfill, but not so for modern electronics.

Even cars are too advanced. The crankcase handle for the Model A is

now a remote start from inside your home. Do teenagers even know

what a carburator was, instead of fuel injection? A screwdriver and at-

tentive hearing is now a computer diagnostic. The ancient excuse of

running out of gas so you could get in a little kissing no longer holds,

with your date’s father having GPS tracking on her cell phone, hybrid

cars with navigation systems, and her constantly texting.

Some luxuries have turned into necessities. Camping now often

means a fifth-wheel Hilton. As a Boy Scout, I actually did camp for

three nights with a sleeping bag, tarp, canteen, pocket knife and a large

sandwich bag for everything else. I must admit, a flashlight is a nifty

thing. Do I actually say “nifty”? A relative of mine guided a man on an

elk hunt in western Wyoming. They had to stop each day for two to

three hours so the man could watch the football game on his four-inch

screen TV with satellite hook-up. Fancy restaurant etiquette used to

be to turn off your cell phone, now it is to not talk louder than the guy

at the next table, especially if you actually are talking to him on the

phone. At the next basketball game you attend, look around for some-

one texting someone else on the other side of the auditorium.

Why not market video games that train people to do their job? Instead

of FarmVille on Facebook, why not an app that uses real-time interest

on ag loans, real-time weather, and today’s seed and chemical prices?

If this sounds silly, why does the military desensitize soldiers with

blow-em-up video games? Imagine a high-level job resume that reads,

“I reached level 24 on the ‘Bankers take over America’ video game. But,

I bet the bank wouldn’t accept the excuse of you getting your favorite

video game mixed up with your actual business ledger. Real businesses

don’t have a re-set or new world button. Real businesses go on even if

the power and batteries go out ... or do they?

My back side should get cramps because of me working too long at

my desk or driving my car on a long trip, not because of me falling

asleep in a chair holding a laptop and playing a video game.

Free junior high dance just for fun

A free dance for Haakon School District seventh and eighth grade students was held in the elementary gymnsasium, Thurs-day, January 17, after the home junior high boys’ basketball game. A photo-booth for one dollar per instant photo was setup, and props could be worn to make the photos more fun. Efforts by volunteer parents to hold the dance were headed byMindy Green. Mike Seager donated his talents and equipment as disc jockey. The event was held on a Thursday eveningso students living in the country would not have to travel back to town on a weekend night. Green said that she and otherparents wanted an activity for this group that was age appropriate and fun. Future activities are being planned.

College Briefs

by State Senator Jim Bradford We’re now well into committeework in both Senate Health andSenate Judiciary as we end the sec-ond week of the session. As I’ve known over the 12 yearsI’ve served in the Legislature, the38 days of the Legislature go byquickly. I’ve spent many days priorto the start of this Session servingon the Governor’s Criminal JusticeTask Initiative Task Force whichwill be bringing forth legislation inthis Session to improve our justicesystem by providing for increasesin drug and alcohol courts. Thefocus here is to help people recover,not put them in prison. Last week,I testified in front of the Joint Ap-propriations Committee and let myvoice show support for this attemptto help reduce the numbers of in-mates in our prisons and providetreatment for those who sufferfrom addictions. On Friday, Janu-

ary 18, I again testified in front ofthe Senate State Affairs Commit-tee where it passed unanimously. Earlier this week I attendedbriefings on the proposed Medicaidexpansion, which I support. Medi-caid is one of the largest healthcareinsurers in South Dakota. Most ofthe people covered in our stateunder Medicaid are children. Infact, 69 percent of the current Med-icaid recipients are children and 31percent are adults. Disabled adultsand low income parents qualify forMedicaid. Many of our nursinghome residents qualify for Medi-caid. The Affordable Care Act al-lows the states to expand coverageto those adults who qualify if theyare at 138 percent of the povertylevel. Children are already coveredwhether or not we expand Medi-caid. The population affected by theexpansion would be South Dakota’s

working poor who do not typicallyreceive health insurance throughtheir employer. If states choose toexpand Medicaid, the federal gov-ernment will cover 100 percent ofthe costs from 2014 to 2016. Thefeds’ contribution will begin to de-crease in 2017, but will never beless than 90 percent, under theACA. This expansion would bringclose to $200 million federal dollarsto South Dakota to care for those inneed, make our citizens healthier,and keep them out of more expen-sive emergency care. Arizona re-cently announced that they willprovide the Medicaid Expansion totheir citizens. Contact me at 605-685-4241 [email protected].

Plague Affecting Prairie Dog Populations?

With much of the snow melting,and labeling of the chemical prod-ucts registered for prairie dogs al-lowing use for some time yet, someopportunity remains this winterfor control. Before initiating chem-ical control measures however,landowners would be advised tomake sure prairie dog towns areactive. Several recent news storieshave relayed the incidence of syl-vatic plague, the term assigned tocover all forms of plague in wildanimals, which is affecting prairiedogs in various locations across theUnited States. Sylvatic plague isbelieved to have been introducedinto the North American prairieecosystem around 1899, and wasfirst documented in a prairie dogcolony near Lubbock, Texas, in1946. A 1999 article states thatplague has been active in black-tailed prairie dog populations inthe northern Great Plains onlywithin the last decade although ithas been present for much longer. One source states that few ifany healthy prairie dog complexescurrently exist in the Southern

Plains within the United States.Another article states that sylvaticplague was first detected in SouthDakota in 2004, and has sincebeen confirmed on the Fort PierreNational Grassland, the BuffaloGap National Grasslands, in Bad-lands National Park and on theLower Brule Indian Reservation inSouth Dakota. Other reports indi-cate that the plague may be affect-ing prairie dogs on private land aswell. In cases where people have con-tracted the disease, it is usually re-ferred to as bubonic plague. Whenpeople contract the disease, it isusually from coming in contactwith an infected rodent (such as arat, a squirrel, or a prairie dog) ortheir fleas. Before the advent ofmodern medicine, bubonic plaguestruck the human population inepidemic proportions every fewcenturies. Today, improved sanita-tion practices and modern insecti-cides and antibiotics have reducedthe threat of plague epidemics indeveloped countries like theUnited States. According to an ar-ticle in late-November 2012, therehad not been any confirmed casesof the plague in people in South

Dakota as of that time. Although it is said to be a rareoccurrence, humans can contractthe plague. Modern antibiotics areeffective against plague, but treat-ment must begin promptly. Symp-toms include swollen and tenderlymph glands accompanied byfever, chills, headache and ex-treme exhaustion. Although hu-mans contracting the plague issaid to be rare, it only makes senseto take precautions. People are ad-vised to keep themselves and theirpets flea-free and away fromplagued areas. If you are workingin or around a prairie dog town,take steps to minimize your expo-sure.

Agriculture and its related in-dustries provided a $21.408 billiondollar impact on the economy ofSouth Dakota in 2010, according toan article written by Gary Taylor,associate professor of economics atSouth Dakota State University. The article describes the impactagriculture production and process-ing has on the economy of SouthDakota. According to Taylor's arti-cle, production agriculture’s directeffect on the South Dakota econ-omy was $8.335 billion. “The $8.335 billion representsthe value of products produced. Ad-ditional impacts of $3.417 billionresults from businesses supplyinginputs and induced effects of in-creased household spending are$1.647 billion bringing the total to$13.399 billion for production agri-culture,” Taylor said. Taylor said that value addedagriculture added $8.009 billion ineconomic activity.

“This economic activity is frommanufacturing/processing indus-tries that can be clearly identifiedas being related to agriculture,”Taylor said. “Ethanol, animal har-vest, cheese and feed manufactur-ing accounted for approximately 84percent of the value added impact.” In the article, Taylor writes thatagriculture remains a significantcontributor to the total economicactivity generated in the state ofSouth Dakota. “The total impact of $21.408 bil-lion makes the agricultural sectorthe largest single sector of theSouth Dakota economy, at approx-imately 19.8 percent of total out-put,” he said.

*** Saturday, January 12, at Somer-set Court, we had an afternoongame session. First, Mike Kilmercame to play piano for us. Thankyou, Mike. Mary Gaffney andSusan and I danced a little circledance. Later, we had a table ofwhist with Irene Arbach, Floy,Mary Lou and Shirley Hodgson.Shirley had played bridge and theyhoper her expertise would transferto whist. Susan was there to coach.Addie, Agnes, Irene Cox and Vivianhad a table of rummi-cube. M.R. Hansen stopped in on hisway home from Chamberlainwhere he had been to a meeting.He reported that Interstate 90 wasopen, but with a little blowing snowand icy patches. He said he wasgoing home to make some beansoup. I hope he brings me some! Welcome to Ida Lutz, a new resi-dent at Somerset Court. She joinsher husband, Bill, who has beenhere a couple of weeks. I phoned my son, Hans P.Hansen, in Colorado Springs. Hewas out for a walk, (at a cool 16 de-grees) but he phoned when he gotback to Spruce House. At SpruceHouse they made him a cake for hisbirthday, which was January 6.They made him a fruit cake as perhis request. One of his friends onthe staff who works there is plan-ning to name her baby Levi. Hanspainted him a card with “HappyBirthday, Levi” and Hans alsopainted a picture of a pair of infantLevis on it. Baby Levi is expectedaround January 28. Hans called to say that our oldneighbor, Elvire (Harnish) Mooswas in our Cecile Marie’s PHSclass of 1961. Hans had a Christ-mas card from Sandra, (Mrs. Bill)O’Connor. Hans sometimes sees

Dianee (Burnett) Volk, daughter ofRichard and Jeannette Burnett,our Philip neighbors just down thestreet at the foot of “Hook” hill. What makes America great? It isthe people who go to work at theirjobs, both little and big, and dotheir best every day. And remem-ber that “The finest things in lifeare the friends along the way.”

One Upon A Dreamby Ken Monette

As the light goes outand the day is doneone falls asleep and dreams do come.

You can travel for milesand visit old friendsor bring to your mindthe places you’ve been.

There are smiles and laughterand sadness and tearsbut the ones we bring backare the ones we hold dear.

It is nice to wake upwith dreams still freshof loves we have lostor have just left the nest. Sometimes during the nightdreams are a treatthe troubles of life seem to take a back seat.

You dream when you laughand there times when you’ve cried,but they are all expressionsof the child inside.

And, yes there’s a childin everyone’s mindthat sometimes in angercan sound very unkind.

But, if the dreams that we cherish,the good ones I mean,that looks back on the love, of all that we have seen.

*** Sunday, January 13, 2013, wehad church with Rev. Richardson.Mrs. Richardson came along to singand Jack Humke played for us tosing hymns. Thanks to all of them.Rev. Richardson gave us sugges-tions. Why not make New Year’ssolutions. Instead of resolutions.Call up somebody you don’t likemuch and lay the groundwork forsome better feelings. Pray for bet-ter interpretations of the Bible.Give up on grudges and get busytrying to do whatever it is God

wants us to do. We must be here forsome reason. Let us try to figureout what it is and do it. Those at-tending church were LucilleHuether, Irma Brandt, Floy Olson,Charlie Hathaway, Virginia Gray,Marilyn B., Marilyn O., ConnieStevens, Don Stensgaard, ShirleyHodgson, Grace Tillery, MaxineKilmer and Vivian Hansen. My great-granddaughter,Melissa (Butcher) Snively, Gillette,Wyo., wrote and sent pictures oftwo-year-old Teagan with her mini-tramp. (It has a safety bar.) Thereis another photo of Teagan openinga Christmas gift. Melissa and Tea-gan and a friend of Melissa’s areplanning to come to Rapid CityJanuary 31. Maybe we can getCarol and Al, Colorado Springs, tocome up for that weekend and wecan celebrate Carol’s February 2,birthday. The Rapid City Journal of Janu-ary 13, 2013, had the obituary ofClifford Ramsey, Philip. My sym-pathy to friends and family. Sunday, I made some playdough.Remember how much fun it is tomake things out of playdough?Good for keeping our fingers lim-ber, too. The cooks at SomersetCourt kitchen gave me some flour,salt, cream of tarter, cooking oiland food coloring. Thank you verymuch. The playdough turned outgood and it was easy to make. Youdon’t cook it, just warm the liquidsa little. Thank you to Leonard and JeanMeyer for your weekly letter andthe marvelous pictures of camou-flaged animals. Leonard and Jeanare home and both recuperatingfrom recent illnesses. Granddaughter Crystal Jacksonwrote, “It is a nice, crisp and sunnyday here in Huntington Beach. Theleaves have almost all fallen off thedeciduous trees and the pine treesand alders are getting catkinsagain. The local mountains have snow.It has been chilly with Santa Anawinds in the 20 to 50 mile per hourrange. Depending on where one is,and it is dry, dry, dry! But ofcourse, that means clear and beau-tiful, if one has a nice warmsweater. I have seedlings coming up in mynursery trays. I was coddling alongthe “mystery” seed tray and gettingnice vigorous plants and now thatthey are about six weeks old, I dis-

covered that two of them are kochiaweeds! Bah! Several are carna-tions, so that is good. One is a cal-endula. The oxalis is in bloom and thelow places are covered in brightyellow when the sun is shining. Ilearned last week that one can useoxalis to make cyanotypes tonedwith orange, so I went last eveningand procured a bunch of flowers,and today I will make up some so-lution and see what I get. Citrus is in high season. We hada frost warning last night but Ithink things came thru okay, atleast in this area. I do not knowhow the Central Valley faired. Ihave a bumper crop of satsumatangerines at my disposal, the oneswith the easy to peel skins. Andlemons. I should take the time tocan a few today. Both kids are heavily back intothe school term. They should bothgraduate with bachelor in sciencein June.” Monday, January 14, 2013, atSomerset Court, we had some re-ally tasty Mexican dishes, refriedbeans, Spanish rice, and lasagna ortacos. We had the activity of craftswith Amy. We colored pictures thatwere printed on black cards. Resi-dents coloring were Agnes, MarilynO., Eileen, Irene Cox, MildredYoung and her helper Kay, FredSmith, Mary Lou Peters, ShirleyHodgson and visiting angel, Doris,Marcella and Vivian. There weregold fissh, “Dreams,” a gardenscene, birds, and guitars. Theyturned out pretty and artistic-look-ing. Thank you, Amy. Alvin Ellerton, (Sherman’sbrother) is moving in next door toSherman. This is where LarrySolano used to live. We hope youlike it here, Alvin. My granddaughter, Patty Denke,Ph.D., Belgrade, Mont., writes thatshe is doing some painting and hassold some of her work. Thank youfor your letter and photos, Patty. Ihave always admired her artisticability. My niece, Alma (Hulett)Schilling, Redfield, writes a prettycard with a verse, “Rememberingwithout ceasing your work of faith,and labor and love.” 1 Thessaloni-ans 1:3. Alma enclosed some Wash-ington, D.C. cherry blossomstamps. How lovely. Thank you,Alma. She quotes my mother, EffiePalmer, “A wish is kind of like aprayer.” From the Rapid City Journal forJanuary 13, 2013: January 21,Martin Luther King Day, about 50School of Mines and Technologystudents will collect food and fundsfrom 3:30 to 6:30 at various RapidCity stores, and on the campus atSDSM&T.

where some courtyard plants areoverwintering, there are two sweetpea blossoms and Charlie andJoanne Hathaway’s butterfly bushis budding. At 9:00 a.m., when I was justsnuggling down for a nap, ChuckAllen called from Philip that therewas two feet of water in the base-ment of my Philip house. I couldn’tthink of who to call, so I called thePioneer Review and they helpedme to call the city office and WestCentral Electric and all respondedimmediately. The Philip VolunteerFire Department with Marty andJesse Hansen and Matt Recklingpumped the water out (more thanthree feet). Someone had called myson, David Hansen, Ft. Pierre, andhe dropped all his projects anddrove out to Philip and he knewhow to fix the pipes. He found theneeded pipe repairs at IngramHardware. By working together,

the problem was soon under con-trol. All the workers have my fer-vent thanks.

With colder temperatures oftencome runny noses, sore throats andunfortunately, the flu. Familiesacross South Dakota who are try-ing to get back into a normal rou-tine following the holidays may nothave taken the time to ensure thatkids and parents alike are vacci-nated for the flu this season. This week, South Dakota wasmoved into the “widespread” fluclassification by the United StatesCenter for Disease Control andPrevention, leading hospitals andbusinesses to take extra precau-tions. In total, 11 South Dakotanshave died from the flu and thestate has reported almost 600 casesof flu so far this season. It’s time to take the flu seriously.I encourage all South Dakotans tonot only get vaccinated, but to stayhome from work or school if youhave symptoms, such as a cough orfever. The typical incubation periodfor the flu is an average of two daysand adults can be infectious for aweek, starting with the day beforesymptoms began. Children can be

contagious for even longer. Flu vaccines protect individualsfrom the three flu strains predictedto be most popular that season.While the vaccine is still the bestway to prevent the flu, antiviraldrugs can also be a strong line ofdefense, as well as common sensehealth habits, such as covering acough and consistent hand wash-ing. South Dakota has the highestvaccination rate in the country –with over half of our population re-ceiving the vaccine during the2011-2012 flu season! In fact,South Dakota received the AdultImmunization Coverage Awardfrom the CDC in 2012. I encourage South Dakotans tolook at information provided by theSouth Dakota Department ofHealth or contact a local healthcare provider if you have any addi-tional questions or concerns re-garding the flu vaccine. Rep. Kristi Noem is SouthDakota’s lone Uunited States Rep-resentative. She serves on the Agri-culture and Armed Services Com-mittees.

Fighting the flu

by Senator John Thune Since President Obama took of-fice in 2009, an additional 15 mil-lion Americans have been added tothe food stamp rolls. This trend has continued despiteeconomic indicators coming fromhis administration that suggest thenumber of Americans out of workand enrolling in government safetynet programs should be on the de-cline. The most recent food stamp par-ticipation numbers paint a verytroubling picture of the UnitedStates economy. According to thelatest statistics released on Janu-ary 4 by the Department of Agri-culture, the number of Americansenrolled in the Supplemental Nu-trition Assistance Program, com-monly referred to as food stamps,has spiked to nearly 48 million peo-

ple, or nearly 15 percent of theUnited States population. Foodstamp enrollment has increased bymore than 607,000 just since thelast report was published in De-cember of 2012. The enrollment of such a largenumber of Americans in the foodstamp program has come at an ex-tremely high cost to taxpayers.Last year alone the United Statesgovernment spent a record $80.4billion on food stamps, and is pro-jected to spend an estimated $770billion over the next 10 years. With nearly one out of everyseven people using food stamps,lawmakers should be carefully re-viewing the rapid increase in en-rollment and finding answers toimportant questions, such as: arethese benefits being provided tothose who need it most; should thelist of eligible food stamp productsbe modified; and does this programencourage independence or does itinstead create an ongoing depend-ency on government programs? In December of 2012, I, alongwith Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.),sent a letter to Wendy Spencer,chief executive officer for the Cor-poration for National and Commu-nity Service (CNCS), a governmententity responsible for matchinggovernment paid volunteers withlocal community service organiza-tions. Our letter outlined our con-cerns that current CNCS policiesand promotional materials may beencouraging the exploitation offood stamps by paid CNCS volun-teers, resulting in unnecessary foodstamp participation. While this is just one example ofthe fraud and abuse that plaguesthis system, if a federal agencysuch as CNCS is able to exploit thebenefits of another federal pro-gram, it is difficult to predict justhow far and widespread fraud andabuse may reach. It is time for Congress to engagein a meaningful discussion abouthow to best reduce poverty and ex-pand upward mobility for all Amer-icans, and take decisive action toachieve this goal. Congress muststrike a balance to ensure that weprotect our country’s most vulner-able and those who legitimatelyneed assistance while also cuttingfederal spending, reprioritizing fed-eral programs, and eliminatingwaste, fraud, and abuse. As Con-gress prepares to address our na-tion’s overall federal spending, Iwill continue to advocate for com-mon sense reforms to our nation’ssafety net programs that will im-prove America’s social, fiscal andeconomic health.

I gathered up my notes for thenews this morning, Monday, Janu-ary 21, and the weather was 19˚with a skiff of about two inches ofsnow, real fluffy stuff. I couldsweep it off the porch and sidewalkwith a broom. It does make onehopeful that we may get somemoisture this year. Lee Schoniger and Gloria Frenchenjoyed supper and the play atMilesville Friday night. Julie and Gary Nixon have beenenjoying their daughter, KellyWeinzettl, and granddaughters,Allie and Abbie, during some oftheir vacation. They all attendedthe Milesville play Saturdayevening. I was surprised to see howtheir grandchildren had grown.They are young ladies now and arevery nice looking. Martin and Vera Nelson andLarry and Charlotte Gabriel werealso enjoying the Milesville playSaturday evening. My grand-daughter, Christa, who was in theplay, had a large attendance of herfamily to see the play Saturdayevening: Rick Johnsons, Ridge San-dal, Rita, Bart, Marcy, Doug andPhyllis Ramsey and Gary Ramsey,Burjes and Cheryl Fitch, Michaeland Tanya Peterson and family,Truett and Dani Fitch and kids,Marvin, Vicki and Mary Eide, andCarla Eide, Kiley and Taegan. Theweather cooperated for all threedays of the play. I heard that it wasa lot nicer than last year’s weather. We did not go just to see Christaas many of us always attend theMilesville plays which are alwaysvery good. This play was sold outboth Friday and Saturday nights.It was a very enjoyable play and asit is said, “That to laugh is healthyfor you.” We should have enoughstored up from going to that play,to last a long time. Jack and Nadine (Brech, Sieler)Kasper have gone south for thewinter and were not here to spendthe holidays this year. MinnieBrech has been in the Philip hospi-tal and I am sure that she wouldenjoy some cards to help pass the

time. She also had a birthday re-cently. It was sad to hear the news thatMarvin McDaniel passed away.Our sympathy goes out to hismother, Bev, and family. He grewup in this community, about a milefrom the Grindstone Hall. Sympathy also goes out to thefamily of Arnold Wolden, a personwho touched many lives. He wasone of the first people that I knewafter I was married and came backhere to live. We did a lot of seedbusiness with him and attendedmany dances at the GrindstoneHall where he and Virginia came todance. He was a very good dancerand new all the old-time dancesteps. He spent a lot of time at thelocal nursing home visiting just tomake a better day for them. Carla Eide came home for the fu-neral of her granddad, Cliff Ram-sey. Carla and her kids, who werehere staying with their grandpar-ents, Marvin and Vicki, stayed forthe play at Milesville. The kids didnot have to return to school untilafter the Martin Luther King holi-day. They get a lot of time off fromschool. They also have a five-day aweek school and don’t get out untillate June. Carla and the kids leftearly Saturday morning whileroads were good and they arrivedhome safely. Today, Monday, is the inaugura-tion of the president for his secondterm of office. I have not watchedany of it. It will be on the news sev-eral times as they replay thingsover and over. I do like to watch theball just to see the pretty dresses. I will bring this to a close, as Iwas unable to find anyone homewhen I called. Everyone is so busycoming and going that it is hard tocatch them at home. “If you want children to keeptheir feet on the ground, put someresponsibility on their shoulders.”Abigal Van Buren And yea fathers, provoke not youchildren to wrath; but bring themup in the nurture and admonitionof the Lord – Ephesians 6:4

After two weeks of no MidlandNews, I am back at the keyboard. Sunday, January 6,started out with good intentions, aswe headed out for Canistota.

Mondaymorning, we had treatments, Iworked on my Midland News col-umn, and that evening we headedfor the Canistota gym for the boys’basketball game between MitchellChristian and Canistota, as ourson, Christopher, is assistant coachfor Mitchell Christian. In themeantime, I had called the PioneerReview, letting them know my lap-top was not working, so therewould be no Midland News thatweek, fully intending to have Mid-land News the following week.

Espe-cially on those cold winter days.Five of their children and familiesmade it home for Christmas. Theirson, Ben, his wife, Dana, and theirthree children live in Mineral, Va.,and came home for a visit aroundthe Fourth of July. While on theirway, they got a call from Dana’ssister telling them a bad thunder-storm with strong winds had blowndown a huge oak tree onto theirhouse. They were in the state ofWisconsin when they got the calland it would be a three-day drive toget back home. Dana’s sister en-couraged them to continue on toBen’s folks. Dana and her husbandwould get hold of the insurancecompany for them and would see toit the roof damage was coveredwith huge plastic, and would cleanup what needed to be cleaned up.So, Ben and Dana drove on to Leoand Betty’s and enjoyed their timethere, knowing things were beingtaken care of back home. Theirhome has been repaired and theywere able to move back in overChristmas. That is good news.

Wediscussed whether to try to sell thegas tank which we no longer use.Meeting was adjourned and cardsplayed. Lunch was served.

Mickey Woitte, secretary It is Tuesday morning and thesun is shining. I do like that sun-shine. Lifts ones spirits on a coldwinter’s day. It is that time of yearwhen folks are busy going to bas-ketball games. It is that time ofyear when folks are busy with play

practice for those local communityplays. It is that time of year towork on those income tax reports.And so, life continues to be busy.As I close my news column for thisweek, I leave you with a bit from anAmish newspaper. “The shop-keeper was dismayed when abrand new business, much like hisown, opened up next door anderected a huge sign which read bestdeals. He was horrified when an-other competitor opened up on his

other side and announced his ar-rival with an even larger sign,reading lowest prices. The shop-keeper was panicked, until he gotan idea. He put the biggest sign ofall over his own shop – it read mainentrance.” A bit of common sensethinking can do amazing things.Let us continue to pray for ourleaders as they go into the nextfour years. Have a good day, a goodweek, and stay warm and healthy.

Look who’s 50!W ish

Well, the snow has been melting,ground is showing again, the driftsare slowly diminishing in height,and the earth is sucking up thedroplets of moisture that comefrom the snow. No run off, but re-plenishing is good too. Since Vivian Hansen has runshort on her Palmer diary in the Pi-oneer Review, it is interesting toread the “Blast from the Past” aswell as the “A Homesteaders DiaryHaakon County, So. Dak – 1907Bernard Murphy.” The last coupleof weeks he speaks of Bert Dibbletaking a teaching job at theFairchild School. Grandma’s book,“Frontier Woman” put together byWalker D. Wyman from Grandma’snotes tells on page 32 about theemployment of Bert Dibble at theschool that was set up close to theirhome. There are some things in thebook that offended some of theneighbors the way they werestated, but Grandma didn’t glossover much and the writer of thebook took some liberties as well, sohopefully not so many toes weretrampled on. At any rate, the littlebook is a fairly factual diary ofevents that happened the way onewoman saw it. Monday, I was the driver for theHaakon County Prairie Trans-portation van for a trip into Philipin the morning. Brian Hanson,with his helper, Brian LaPlant,were here to fix our furnace issue.I spent time watching the process,haven’t got a bill, so wonder ifBrian H. will charge me for my les-son in furnace fixing! Phyllis Wordstopped for a visit in the afternoon. Monday found Tony Harty vist-ing at the L.D. and Shirley Hairhome as well as stopping by here togive me his news. He was trying tocatch a cold, so hope he isn’t shar-ing it around. Tuesday morning, I visited Daleand Cindy O’Connell and took backan article I’d made copies of forhim, written up by his grand-mother, Hazel Wedeman O’Con-nell. To quote what Hazel wrote,“To those who live in cosmopolitanareas, our lives and efforts seemwasted, but to us who live here,there has been joy and sorrow, sun-shine and happiness, and ‘a heap olivin.’’ We want no part of theirkind of life!” Tony Harty visited L.D. andShirley Hair then had dinner outbefore heading home to give hiscold a rest Tuesday. Wednesday morning found meon the road to Philip with a coupleof folks who were taking physicaltherapy there. Bill and I were

among the many in attendance atthe services for Cliff Ramsey in theafternoon and Bill enjoyed hisusual pastime of cards and I visitedaround town to give him time forthat. Tony Harty went out for dinnerWednesday, then returned home,still not feeling the best. Don and Vi Moody spent a coupleof pretty nice, warm days at theirhome in Rapid Valley and did a lit-tle business and had quite a mix ofwildlife experiences at their homeup there. A Christmas gift fromtheir tenants was a squirrel feeder.They left it full of feed and it stayedabandoned for almost two weeksuntil they were up there this timeand the squirrels raised cane withit, knocked all the seed out on theground and were cleaning up thatwith a frenzy of four or more squir-rels, and they were bunting at theirfeeder like a newborn calf on it'smom. Don and Vi think they hadbetter move it a little farther outfrom the house before they fill itagain. Also the geese blackened thebeautiful azure sunset at exactly5:30 when Don and Vi pulled in totheir yard Thursday evening. Thegeese were coming in for a landingsouth of Rapid Creek and theremust of have been thousands ofthem. These energetic and seem-ingly very enthusiastic beautifulbirds finally all settled in for thenight after much hoopla, dances,bird gossip, or whatever. Maybe itwas their going south or returningnorth convention or something ofthat sort. Thursday and Friday, TonyHarty was somewhat better, vis-ited at the L.D. and Shirley Hairhome, went out for dinner then re-turned home to rest. Kinsey, Natalie and Kohen Git-tings were in Rapid City Friday af-ternoon. George Gittings was inKadoka Friday and had lunch withDale and Cindy O'Connell. Friday was almost a bad day forme. I didn’t look close enough at mydiary and a scheduled HCPT vanrun to Rapid set for January 18(which I thought was Thursday)was all lined up. I had also lined upsix ladies to go to the Milesvillesupper and play – Friday. Thankgoodness I was saved by CarolSolon taking the run to Rapid. At3:00 p.m. I picked up Phyllis Word,Lois Pettyjohn, Frances Terkild-sen, Bonnie Riggins, Linda Rig-gins, and Joyce Hicks in our vanand we were off to see the country.It was a nice drive in the daylight.We took a side trip to Sandee andGoerge Gittings’ home, then on to

Milseville. We had to dawdle a lit-tle because we were too early. Sup-per was served at the HardingroveCommunity Church and we werethe first in line, then on over to thehall for a wonderful play. It is allover and done with for this year,but was another outstanding per-formance and it was so much fun tosee so many friends while there.Peggy (Gittings) Hook joshed meabout folks hiding from me to keepout of being mentioned in this col-umn. (Sorry Peggy, just couldn’t re-sist.) Sympathy is extended to Bev Mc-Daniel and family in the loss of herson, Marvin McDaniel, this week. Saturday morning early, TonyHarty discovered his billfold wasmissing. A quick check at the localcafé and it was safe and sound andwaiting for him to pick up. He hadbreakfast out. Don and Vi Moody returned tothe ranch Saturday afternoon. Visaid she spent the weekend work-ing on taxes and helping her classby sending out reminders to class-mates announcing a class of 1963reunion. By the way, PHS class of1963, get ready for the 50th re-union over Festival Days in June.Spread the word around (emails,phone calls, letters, etc.) Maybethere will be a "boot scottin boogie"somewhere – but the club house atthe golf course is where they aim tostart. Saturday afternoon, Bonnie Rig-gins (since we have two BonnieRiggins over here, I should say theone formerly from Wanblee whowas the one who went with us onFriday too) stopped for coffee and avisit. And, as she went out one doorTony Harty came in the other door.Tony gave me his news for theweek and visited. Bill and I thenwent to Philip for the benefit sup-per for Lola Hulce sponsored by theNational Mutual Benefit #85. Itwas during the girls’ and boys’ bas-ketball game, so there was a largeattendance who then went to thegames. Sunday, Bill and I went to Philipfor breakfast sponsored by thePhilip Mason Lodge #153. They areserving breakfast on Sunday morn-ing through February. Light snowcame and went in bursts through-out the day. Grandson Zack Sea-ger, Cori Barber and little Rydercame in time for dinner with us.Accompanying them were their twopitbull dogs, Ruca and Rowdy.That is a van full. It was a fun visitand Ryder is such a good little guyas were the dogs. Before leaving,Ryder put all the toys back wherethey came from and all was good.They ventured on to Philip and vis-ited there with Casey Seager before

Greetings from cold, snow cov-ered, slightly breezy, partly sunnynortheast Haakon County. Thankgoodness the colder weatherskirted east of us – a friend of minein Minnesota said they hope theirtemperature gets above zero today.That makes me pretty happy withour current temperature of 15˚!The weatherman is predictingwarmer temperatures for later inthe week, which will be nice forthose who are headed for the stockshow in Rapid City. Randy and I were gone over theweekend, returning home Mondayevening, so news gathering thisweek was done in a hurry. Thanksto those who sent me their news viathe computer – it simplified thingsfor this week. First of all, I want to convey mysympathy to the family of MaxineNorman, who passed away a fewdays ago. I remember when I cameto this community as a youngbride, Maxine always seemed to beinvolved in most anything that wasgoing on, whether it be ball games,club events, but most especiallyEastern Star activities. She wasdefinitely a leader, and she will bemissed. Clint and Laura Alleman saidthey enjoyed several imaginary teaparties this week, along with awide array of dolls. It sounds liketheir daughter, Alivya, is an awe-some little hostess and loves enter-taining. Clint attended the annualfire department meeting in HayesWednesday evening. While Clintwas at the meeting, Laura andAlivya had the chance to play withJohnathon and Justin Neuharth,sons of Levi and Crystal Neuharth.Laura attended play practice inHayes Thursday, and Friday theAllemans joined T.J. and JeanineGabriel in attending the play atMilesville. The Milesville play thisyear was a musical comedy, andfrom all accounts it was great en-tertainment. Saturday, Clint, Laura andAlivya went to Pierre to take careof some shopping and also attendedthe Winter Expo. Alivya enjoyedthe happy meal she won. Lauraalso wanted to send happy birth-day greetings to her young friend,Jeanine Gabriel, who celebratedher birthday on the 22nd. Saturday, Frank and ShirleyHalligan picked up Dave andLaura Hand and attended the mu-sical comedy at Milesville. It was avery enjoyable evening with supperat the church prior to the play.Both couples appreciated all thehard work that went into puttingon a production of that size whichincluded many familiar faces andlots of laughs. Great job! Sunday,Shirley went to town to take food tothe Norman family and visit withLoni and Marcia. They were allchildhood friends, growing up just

a few miles from each other. Thor Roseth came out to Duaneand Lola's Saturday to look at somecalves. Grandson Royce wasn't feel-ing up to par that day, so he andhis mother, Jackie, stayed home.After church Sunday, Duane andLola stopped at Billy and ArlyneMarkwed's to play cards. Carmen Alleman said it has beena relatively quiet week at theirhouse. Thursday, Carmen went to

Philip to get license plates and tovisit with her aunts, Marie Ander-son and Ida Hunt. GranddaughterAlivya stayed with Clark and Car-men while Clint and Laura went tothe Milesville play. If all went well,it was going to be Alivya's firstsleepover with grandpa andgrandma, but I didn't hear if shespent the night or not. Dick and Gene Hudson attendedchurch Sunday, and they also hadtheir annual church meeting. Genesaid there was good attendance.The Hudson's left Monday to go totheir daughter, Deb Burma's, homein Columbus, Neb., to visit withDeb and her family. They plannedto stop in Highmore on the way tovisit Ruth Neuhauser and deliversome cookies and treats from theladies aid members. They hadplanned to make the delivery ear-lier, but bad weather postponed thetrip. Connie Johnson said it was aquiet weekend at their house. Con-nie has been under the weather –hope the medication kicks in soon.Being a teacher, I'm sure Connie isexposed to most every bug thatmakes its way around the commu-nity. Bill and Polly Bruce spent Sun-day in Milesville. They attendedchurch there, followed by the lunchput on by the firemen. Then theyattended the play, which they thor-oughly enjoyed. Their friend, MattGille de Leon, came from his homein the Black Hills Thursday andleft Tuesday. He stayed with Vinceand Katie Bruce while he was here.Monday, Vince, Katie and Matt, aswell as Ted Schofield, were lunchguests at Bill and Polly's home. Max and Joyce Jones went to

Pierre Saturday to visit with theNorman family and take themsome food. Other than that, it hasbeen a relatively quiet week attheir house. Marge Briggs kept a doctor's ap-pointment last week, and it soundslike things are going fine with her.

It was a good road trip to theWinner Invitational WrestlingTournament for the Philip Areateam as they brought back the firstplace team award, eight first andsecond individual awards, alongwith five other placings, and RanceJohnson was voted “Most Out-standing Wrestler.” Head coach Matt Donnelly notedthat everyone wrestled well andthe team is almost back to fullstrength. Some are coming backfrom injuries and illness and helooks forward to them being betterfor the next tournament. Donnelly said that some schoolsare noted for certain techniqueswhich give the wrestlers more ex-perience. “The only way you’regoing to get better is to find thebest and go after them,” said Don-nelly. Twelve teams participated in theJanuary 19 tournment with Philipscoring more than 45 points overtheir nearest competitor. Finalteam placings were Philip (278.5),Winner (233), Bon Homme (191.5),Mobridge-Pollock (155), Redfield/Doland (115), Sunshine Bible Acad-emy (90.5), Mt.

The Philip Scotties basketballteams hosted a doubleheaderagainst the Bennett County War-riors, Saturday, January 19. The District 14B Scotties boysgot the lead against the District14A Warriors, and held it. The firstquarter ended with Philip ahead bynine points. Before halftime, theyjumped that lead up to 29 points.Philip gained another 20 in thethird quarter, while allowing theWarriors just eight more points onthe scoreboard.

The United States Army OldGuard Fife and Drum Corps hasparticipated in every presidentialinaugural parade since PresidentJohn F. Kennedy’s in 1961. Presi-dent Barack Obama’s second inau-gural parade, January 21, had aSouth Dakota connection becausethe Corps’ commander is ChiefWarrant Officer 4 Fred Ellwein. With a music education degreefrom South Dakota State Univer-sity in 1983, followed by a master’sdegree in 1986, Ellwein took com-mand of the corps in June 2010. “The opportunity to commandand lead the Old Guard Fife andDrum Corps ... is exhilarating,”said Ellwein, who was commanderof the United States Army MaterialCommand Band at Aberdeen Prov-ing Ground in Maryland before as-suming command of the Corps. Ellwein has been involved withthe inaugural parade twice. He wasthe drum major for the Pride of theDakota’s Marching Band in the in-augural parade for PresidentRonald Reagan in 1981. “My posi-tive experiences in academic pur-suits ... all led to a simply remark-able first inaugural parade appear-ance at the tender age of 20,” re-

called Ellwein. In the inaugural parade for Pres-ident George W. Bush in 2005, Ell-wein was the merge control mili-tary officer in charge of the preciseflow of marching bands, equestrianunits and floats, consisting of11,000 participants. Ellwein started his military ca-reer as a euphonium player in theS.D. Army National Guard in 1979.In 1989, he commanded the S.D.Guard’s 147th Army Band. Ellweinhad a 21-year teaching career, in-cluding director of bands and jazzstudies at South Dakota School ofMines and Technology. He co-founded the South Dakota All-State Jazz Festival in 1988. The 69-member corps uses 10-hole fifes, handmade rope-ten-sioned drums and single-valve bu-gles. It averages about 500 per-formances annually. The corps isthe only unit of its kind in thearmed forces. The musicians per-form in uniforms patterned afterthose worn by musicians of GeneralGeorge Washington’s ContinentalArmy. They consist of black tricornhats, white wigs, waistcoats, colo-nial coveralls and red regimentalcoats.

South Dakota also ranked in thetop 10 for cat ownership in 2011. The survey is conducted by theAVMA every five years and alwaysincludes a breakdown of pet owner-ship by state. The most recent sur-vey, conducted in 2012 but basedon December 31, 2011, numbers,reveals that the top 10 pet-owningstates are Vermont where 70.8 per-cent of households owned a pet,New Mexico with 67.6 percent,South Dakota with 65.6 percent,Oregon with 63.6 percent, Mainewith 62.9 percent, Washingtonwith 62.7 percent, Arkansas with62.4 percent, West Virginia with62.1 percent, Idaho with 62 per-cent, and Wyoming with 61.8 per-cent. The 10 states in 2011 with thelowest percentage of pet-owninghouseholds are Rhode Island where53 percent of households owned apet, Minnesota with 53 percent,California with 52.9 percent, Mary-land with 52.3 percent, Illinoiswith 51.8 percent, Nebraska with51.3 percent, Utah with 51.2 per-cent, New Jersey with 50.7 percent,New York with 50.6 percent, and

Massachusetts with 50.4 percent.The District of Columbia had a farlower rate of pet ownership at 21.9percent. The sourcebook reveals that thestates with the most dog owners in2011 are Arkansas where 47.9 per-cent of households owned a dog,New Mexico with 46 percent, Ken-tucky with 45.9 percent, Missouriwith 45.9 percent, West Virginiawith 45.8 percent, Mississippi with45.2 percent, Alabama with 44.1percent, Tennessee with 44.1 per-cent, Texas with 44 percent, andOklahoma with 43.2 percent.

The District of Co-lumbia had far lower dog owner-ship than any state with 13.1 per-cent. The 2011 top 10 states with themost cat-owning households areVermont where 49.5 percent owneda cat, Maine with 46.4 percent,Oregon with 40.2 percent, SouthDakota with 39.1 percent, Wash-ington with 39 percent, West Vir-ginia with 38.1 percent, Kentuckywith 36.8 percent, Idaho with 34.6percent, Indiana with 34.4 percent,and New Hampshire with 34.2 per-cent.

25.9 percent, New Jersey with 25.3percent, and Utah with 24.6 per-cent. The District of Columbia,once again, had by far the lowestrate of cat ownership with 11.6 per-cent. “This report reveals a tremen-dous amount of information aboutpets and their owners across thecountry; what’s constant and whathas changed. One of the most im-portant parameters that we look atis how well pet owners are doing atkeeping their pets healthy,” saidDr. Douglas G. Aspros, president ofthe AVMA. “Unfortunately, the re-port reveals that fewer dogs andcats are seeing the veterinarianregularly, and that’s somethingthat the AVMA and every compan-ion animal veterinarian are con-cerned about. Pet owners acrossthe country need to remember tobring their pets into the veterinar-ian – at least once a year – to main-tain optimal health.” The report indicates that, be-tween 2006 and 2011, the percent-age of households that made notrips at all to the veterinarian in-creased by eight percent for dogowners and a staggering 24 percentfor cat owners. Overall, about 81percent of dog owning householdsmade at least one visit to the vet-erinarian in 2011, down 1.7 percentfrom 2006. The decrease for catowners was, once again, muchhigher, as only 55.1 percent of catowners made at least one visit tothe veterinarian in 2011, down13.5 percent from 2006. The U.S. Pet Ownership and De-mographics Sourcebook offers agreat deal of information on petownership, trends and veterinarycare. It’s available free to journal-ists and is for sale on the AVMAwebsite.

returning to Rapid. Lesson learnedtoday was by Grandpa Bill, twonine volt batteries you think aredead are not Lego blocks, do notplug them into each other. Bill didjust that and gave them to Ryder toponder over and see how they wereput together. In a short time, hecame over and said they were hot.Indeed, they were very hot! Wequickly pulled them apart and ittook quite awhile for them to fi-nally cool down. Thank goodnessRyder was quick to notice the tem-perature change and tell us aboutit. As if there isn’t enough happen-ing to make us weary, there arestill those trying to convince folksthey are the winners of millions ofdollars, but they must first send$190 by Western Union in order toget the winnings. Another onegoing around is getting a call froma person saying “grandma/grandpa, I’m in trouble and needmoney” – naturally the grandpar-ent will name a child and thatgives the caller a name to workwith and again, it is a scam. Thelatest one is a delivery of flowersand wine showing up. The deliveryperson says they must collect $3.50because the alcohol cannot be leftwith a child, but they cannot takecash. You are asked to swipe yourcredit card and enter the pin num-ber and security code on their ma-chine. As you enjoy the flowers andwine, your credit card is being runup big time. It too is a scam. So be-ware of deliveries you didn’t order. The state legislature is hard atwork. They are now concentratingon the young drivers. Bills are inplace to make it a law against useof cell phones, restrict the numberof riders and extend the time driv-ers age 14-17 must have a re-stricted permit. Be on guard, nextthey will be after those over 65!Laws that stopped youth fromworking until they were 18 hasturned this country into a nation ofnon-productive youth. Thank good-ness we are still a rural area, so ouryoung people know responsibilityand have good work ethics. How-ever, just last year the federal gov-ernment wanted to put a stop to allyouth from working on farms andranches, including helping familymembers. “We can easily forgive a childwho is afraid of the dark; the realtragedy of life is when adults areafraid of the light.” Plato

Helen Beckwith stopped by one dayfor a visit. T.J. and Jeanine Gabriel arekeeping busy with calving, kids inschool, and all the activities thatentails. Jeanine is teaching releasetime classes this year, and the stu-dents held one of their recent meet-ings in the new cabin at Billy andArlyne Markwed's. That was quitea treat for the kids. T.J. and Jea-nine attended the Milesville playFriday evening while Billy and Ar-lyne watched the cows and kids,then Billy and Arlyne went to theplay Saturday night. Young KylerGabriel is definitely into the terri-ble twos, according to his mother.And, if asked, Kyler will tell youthat they have "blue" cows – thosemust be a new strain of Angus! Coreen and Julian Roseth andSophie and Pat Foley spent part oflast weekend in Deadwood, just en-joying a short little getaway. Russ and Cindy Sinkey are stay-ing busy with work, school, and

chores – sounds like typical winterin the country. Thank goodness theroad conditions have been rela-tively good this year, since Cindy'sjob takes her to Eagle Butte andother locations. Dorothy Paulson said there wasnot much news from their house.Nels attended the fire departmentmeeting in Hayes Wednesday, the16th. Thursday, Nels and Dorothyhad business in Pierre, and thenthey went and retrieved theirstacker tractor from the repairmansouth of Ft. Pierre. Dorothy said itsure seems good to have it up andrunning again. Sunday, Dorothyattended church and the congrega-tional meeting that followed. Mary Neuhauser and three ofher sisters were in Rochester lastweek to be on hand for her brotherTed's surgery. It sounds like thesurgery went well and the progno-sis is good – great news. Kevin wasin Pierre Saturday for a Masonicmeeting, and Mary went to High-

more to visit Ruth Neuhauser.Kevin and Mary returned to theranch later on Saturday. The week has gone by in a flashhere at Neuhauser ranch. Randy,Kevin Neuhauser and ChaseBriggs attended the fire depart-ment meeting in Hayes Wednes-day. And as I said earlier, Randyand I were gone for the weekend.We hopped on a plane Friday andflew to Las Vegas to spend a fewdays with our friends, Bob andSharel Spears. Since it was a holi-day weekend, I think there wereeven more people there than usual.The weather was great – it was sonice to be able to walk around with-out a coat and enjoy the greengrass, palm trees, and flowers. Itwas great to spend time with ourfriends, and I love watching thepeople – the fashions are so varied,and there are plenty of examples ofwhat not to wear. We flew back into Rapid City Monday afternoon,glad to be back to peace and quiet,even if it isn't quite as warm here.While in Las Vegas, we enjoyedgreat entertainment and good food,but it is wonderful to be home. This week, I think I am most

grateful for peace and quiet. I feelsorry for the people who have towork in the midst of all that noisepollution in Las Vegas every day.And I am grateful for our simpleway of life – working hard, raisingfood andfiber forthe world,and goingto sleepat nighttired fromg o o d ,h o n e s tphysicall a b o r .T h a n kgoodnesst h i sl i festyleisn't foreveryone,or ourpeace andq u i e twould begone. I hopeyou willstop for am i n u t e

this week and think about thethings you are grateful for – ittends to make you happier if youfind things to be grateful for ratherthan finding things to be upsetabout. Enjoy your week.
