Number 29 Volume 107 March 14, 2013 Knutson sisters 2 Philip gun show 2 High school music contest 8 Pioneer review by Del Bartels Three main subjects dominated the Philip Chamber of Commerce meeting, Monday, March 11. One was the upcoming Scotty Philip Days, June 14-16. The chamber has renamed the Philip Festival Days to the Scotty Philip Days. A second was the chamber sponsored casino fun night to be held Friday, March 29. The third topic was the potential of area ben- efit from the Keystone XL Pipeline crews working in the area. The seventh annual matched bronc ride will be Friday evening, June 14. The chamber will again offer a free street dance that same night, this year with the band Crash Wagon. Activities such as a parade, community water fight, horse races, demolition derby, golf tournament and a long list of oth- ers will fill the rest of the weekend. “All we need is a mimic of last year,” said Matt Reedy about how well everything was done and how many people stayed in the area to participate. Brit Miller said, “If we take a percentage of our (member) dues, and put it toward this week- end, and it helps all our local busi- nesses, then that’s what we are here for. The chamber is doing what it is supposed to do.” “Are we going backward, no, but ... ,” warned Reedy, chamber treas- urer. He concluded, “That’s our idea, to make this pretty much a free weekend.” Details were discussed. “There’s a lot of stuff you don’t even think about,” said Miller. As in 2012, five sets of moveable bleachers are al- ready reserved from the city of Rapid City. Insurance has been lined up, port-a-potties arranged, ticket-taking volunteers are being recruited, security is being arranged, and the list grows. Miller thought the one area which more man-power is needed is cleaning up the downtown area early Saturday morning after the street dance. Some suggested improvements, though, included the possibility of some business, organization or ranch running a shuttle from place to place and event to event. The use of trailers and pulling vehicles could easily be a business donation. Concessions could be done at vari- ous spots around town. One or sev- eral businesses or ranches could sponsor the horse races, which are becoming more and more popular each year. “We aren’t going to stop anybody who wants an opportunity. We just aren’t going to go to them first,” said Miller. A big screen or something simi- lar at the bronc ride was discussed. People wouldn’t miss any action at the concession stands or talking with friends. “It’s as much of a so- cial event,” said Miller. Gold buckle seating and making attendance easier and more comfortable were discussed. Chamber leaders will discuss these and other ideas with the bronc ride promotors. The annual casino night fund- raiser will be held March 29 in the community room of the 73– Saloon. Last year, “We did fairly well,” said Ron Larson. “I can’t think of a rea- son not to do it.” Using Philip Bucks in lieu of money and winnings, the evening has been traditionally enjoyed by attendees, chamber members agreed. “It’s a fun night. Good for everybody. Chamber involve- ment!,” said Doug West. Once used for member recruitment, the evening has evolved into a social event for everyone. As with Scotty Philip Days, the chamber is tweak- ing minor points to improve the en- joyment by all. Miller will look into getting an advertisement or feature article into the “South Dakota Magazine.” Such promotion can only help the area’s businesses and general ap- peal to the rest of the public. Inquiries for space and materials are already coming in to accommo- date work crews for the Keystone XL Pipeline. The chamber is pro- moting Philip as a central hub be- tween the North Dakota and Ne- braska state lines, and between Pierre and Rapid City. “They’re good people and pretty nice to talk to. It’ll be interesting,” said Miller. “Hopefully, they keep calling and show interest in our town.” The opportunity for the Philip area to benefit in the short term and the long term has high poten- tial. “Say, that if a family with kids comes in for a year, what’s to say they won’t want to stay?” said Reedy. Chamber prepares for Scotty Philip Days, casino night, XL pipeline crews by Nancy Haigh Highway department matters, an on-sale liquor license resolution, and upcoming meetings were dis- cussed by the Haakon County Commission last Tuesday, March 5. During recent meetings the com- missioners have discussed a possi- ble on-sale Sunday malt beverage/liquor license. All current county malt beverage and liquor li- cense holders may apply for the Sunday license, but it will cost them an additional $100. The board will have a hearing on the resolution at the April 2 meeting. R. Lee Smith, Jacksonville, Fla., has requested that the county re- move from its highway system a no maintenance road that runs through his property in northern Haakon County. Smith uses the land for a hunting business. High- way Superintendent Kenny Neville noted that it was graveled and maintained at least 20 years ago. It currently is grassed over but two tracks are visible. The road is used by local landowners to gain access to their properties. Neville noted the road is not a section line, but does come off Robbs Flat Road and winds it self north and west and re- connects with road The commission approved Neville’s request to take the South Dakota Department of Transporta- tion’s swap monies in the amount of $197,634.57. The county has taken this option for the past few years. It allows more flexible spending for those dollars. Neville discussed the upcoming project of graveling a 10 mile por- tion of Tornado Ranch Road. The south end of the stretch starts at the intersection of 11 Mile Road. He informed the board that the shop at Milesville will need to be replaced in the near future. The board approved Neville’s re- quest to surplus pickups, blades, tires and disk mowers as well as for Neville and one other highway em- ployee to attend a gravel road sem- inar this month. The board approved LyCox En- terprises, Billings, Mont., bid for two packers/rollers in the amount of $39,978. The company was the only bidder. The equipment will be paid for with swap monies. The board was presented with an agreement from the South Dakota Department of Agriculture’s Divi- sion of Wildland Fire Suppression. The agreement would allow for state assistance in fighting prairie fires within Haakon County. The board tabled action on the agree- ment until commissioners have re- viewed the documents further. Travel for meetings was ap- proved for commissioners, Patsy Freeman and Carla Smith for a county commission and welfare of- ficials conference March 20 and 21 and also a commissioners and county officials meeting March 11. Annie Brunskill’s travel request to a library meeting in Custer was also approved. Nancy Neville’s request to sur- plus a vacuum and a push mower was approved. The board set the county’s board of equalization meeting for April 9 at 1 p.m. Reports reviewed included sher- iff, veterans service officer and au- ditor/treasurer. The board entered into executive session for about 30 minutes to dis- cuss personnel. No action was taken following the session. The board approved meeting minutes and warrants from Febru- ary. They also approved the $39 annual dues for the National Asso- ciation of State Agencies for Sur- plus Property. The board opted to not offer per- manent part time employees insur- ance or annual leave. Basic business issues for commissioners by Del Bartels Dane and Amanda Nelson have purchased the Triple XXX Spray- ing business from Jeremy Note- boom. The weed and pest control oper- ation is a home-office run business, though the shop is still west of Philip. The business specializes in lawn care, weed management, tree root treatments, tree spraying, out- door pest control, bare ground veg- etation management and prairie dogs. Its new contact number is 441-8145 and new mailing address is P.O. Box 554, Philip, SD 57567. “It was an opportunity. I worked for Jeremy last summer, which was invaluable hands-on training with all of the services offered,” said Dane. “In some ways it was a way back into the ag world, since I grew up in the country, ranching.” Originally established in 2007, the business has been under the ownership of the Nelsons since January 2013. It is a full-time job, busiest between the beginning of April into November, depending on the weather. Amanda grew up in Philip. Dane’s family came to the area in 2002. They met in school, gradu- ated from Philip High School in 2007 and were married in 2009. Now, for their business, both are commercial applicators, certified by the South Dakota Department of Agriculture. Collaboratively, they are certified in herbicides, fungi- cides, insecticides, ornamentals and pests such as prairie dogs. “It’s a field that changes monthly,” said Dane. “You’re con- stantly learning new techniques, new product,” said Amanda. “We’ve gone to seminars and classes. We definitely learned a lot about some new cutting edge products and pro- cedures.” “One of the classes we recently attended was to become certified applicators for one of our brand- name products,” said Dane. “Especially in tree care,” contin- ued Dane.” There’s different dis- eases and pests that move into our service area and change with the seasons. You have to try to stay ahead of the curve as much as pos- sible.” “I’m going to keep my job as a medical transcriptionist,” said Amanda, “but I am going to go out and help him.” She is the busi- nesses bookeeper and public rela- tions person. She thinks her doing smaller jobs around town while he is miles away doing a larger jobs would be a good collaboration. The possibilities and advantages are not quite limitless; for example, though they will barrier outer walls to insect problems, they do not do interior spraying. “It’s not just lawns; it’s quite a bit bigger than that,” said Dane. They can do diagnosis and treat- ment for lawn care, including trees and shrubs, all the way up to a five- step program, but can also do nox- ious weed management on range/ pasture land. “We enjoy supporting and help- ing the community that has sup- ported us all along,” said Amanda. “We try to take a small town per- sonal approach to what we do.” “Every job is unique,” said Dane. “We want to know first, and then treat for what’s wrong. A lot of times it is not only a disease, in- sects, nutrients or a growing envi- ronment problem, but it could be all of them and it takes a complete management program.” As their website, www.triplexxx spraying.com, states, their’s is a lo- cally owned and operated chemical spraying business aimed at provid- ing safe and competitively priced lawn care programs, tree and shrub care, bare ground weed con- trol, outdoor pest control, and nox- ious weed management to commer- cial, private and rural properties. Their website has a weekly blog, and they are on Facebook. Dane and Amanda Nelson now owners of Triple XXX Spraying Amanda and Dane Nelson, owners/operators of Triple XXX Spraying. The annual District 2 spring meeting of the South Dakota Amer- ican Legion will be held Sunday, March 24, at the Hermosa Ameri- can Legion Post home in Hermosa for legionnaires from Haakon, Ben- nett, Jackson, Jones, Mellette, Todd, Custer, Fall River, Penning- ton and Shannon counties. Following an executive meeting at 11:00 a.m, lunch will be held from noon to 1:00 p.m. The Legion business session will begin at 1:00 p.m. Participants will elect county commanders and vice commanders in the district for one-year terms. Philip Pearson, a member of the Wheeler-Brooks American Legion Post #173 in Philip, is running for the vice state commander position, sometimes referred to as area com- mander, for districts 1 and 2. There are five American Legion areas in South Dakota. The District 2 session will also feature post reports regarding the past year’s unusual activities, Post Americanism reports, a member- ship turn-in, recognition of the Dis- trict 2 Legionnaire of the Year and South Dakota American Legion District 2 annual meeting by Del Bartels Sergeant Ryan Mechaley of the South Dakota Highway Patrol was the principle speaker at a commu- nity meeting Thursday, March 7, in the Fine Arts Building in Philip. The first part of the session was Mechaley informing the audience on what the drug scene is in South Dakota, in the nation and in the world. He defined synthetic drugs and explained their escalating prevalence and preference among users. The largest percentage of users are teens and those in their early 20s of all backgrounds. The second part of the meeting were a constant flow of questions from the audience, from mostly parents of teenagers, though there were younger and older attendees. “I don’t want to scare anybody, but I want you to hear the truth,” began Mechaley. “There are syn- thetic drugs in Philip. They’re here.” In a recent study of arrested drunk drivers in parts of South Dakota, approximately one-third tested to have some other form of drugs in their systems. “It scares me to know who is traveling the road with the rest of us,” said Mechaley. Synthetic drugs, also referred to as designer drugs, are produced by a minor modification in the chemi- cal structure of an existing drug. There are so many sources – from the Internet, black market and downtown shops in some states – that “If it says not for human con- sumption, that’s a pretty good indi- cation you could get high from it,” said Mechaley. Many of these drugs are packaged and marketed as plant food or incense. Many of these drugs can be detected in a users’ blood or urine only with very specific testing and a foreknowl- edge of what to test for. Mechaley also warned about pre- scription drugs. “Lock them up, se- cure them, count them,” he said, adding that there has been a 300 percent increase in prescriptions because of people needing or want- ing the drugs over the last few years. Theft has also increased, and stolen prescription drugs are often the basis of “pharm” parties. With synthetic drugs, though ob- servable symptoms and side effects are extremely varied, often the user is irrational to the point of having hallucinations and being extremely paranoid, and combat- ive. “Rationalize with them? Not going to happen!,” said Mechaley. He warned that “personal safety is and should always be a priority. Remember, they are not going to react normally.” Film clips of people actually on drugs – on a trip – were shown. Mechaley warned that the action was graphic and extreme. As one of the overhead projections pro- claimed, “Unfortunately their trip usually requires a stop at the hos- pital or jail, in best outcome scenar- ios.” The laws concerning synthetic drugs vary from country to country, and from state to state. South Dakota is one of the leading states to address the criminality of these drugs, labeling their possession as a felony. Yet, it’s not the criminal thing that really scares Mechaley, but what makes him the most nervous is drug user’s loss of schol- arships, student aid, future job pos- sibilities and other ramifications from being a convicted drug felon. Because of the availability, vari- ety and danger of these drugs, Mechaley suggested that parents make contracts with their children. They should put in there that if your child calls you anytime, you will come and get them and not ask them any questions – that night. “I can’t make them talk to me, but there has to be a line of communi- cations between you and them.” He said that, as a kid under their par- ents’ roof, the constitution doesn’t apply. Parents may not want to in- fringe on their kids’ personal rights, but .... “It’s hard to be a par- ent and a friend,” said Mechaley. Synthetic drugs – topic in Philip Above, the community turnout for the synthetic drugs lecture and questions/an- swers was impressive. “I think that speaks volumes for your community, that you would be here,” said main speaker South Dakota Highway Patrol Sergeant Ryan Mechaley, shown at right.

The District 2 Auxiliary will hold its meeting at 1:00 p.m. the same day at a location yet to be deter- mined.

Lookin’ Around by Syd Iwan

Last Saturday was a bad day forcooking. Three of us had problemsthat day for no good reason exceptthat it was obviously a poor day forcooking. Take Ruth, for example. Shehad recently acquired some flutedmetal forms for making edibleshells out of tortillas. You fre-quently see these shells in Mexicanrestaurants and may get yoursalad served in one. Anyway, Ruthcarefully followed the instructionsas to oven temperature and bakingtime only to come up with burntshells. She was not pleased buttried again. This time she kept aclose eye on things and got an ac-ceptable product, but the first at-tempt was a no-go. Marie also encountered prob-lems. She was trying to make acake that starts with a mix from abox but is fancied up with the ad-dition of coconut and other goodies.Well, Marie is an excellent cook.Ask anyone, and they will say it isso. She, however, suspected earlyon that things were not as theyshould be. She has made thisdessert many times, and the batterseemed somewhat stringy and notquite right. Nevertheless, shethrew the mixture into a pan andbaked it, but it came out very flat.It didn’t rise like it was supposedto so, with disgust, it got itselfthrown in the garbage for misbe-havior. I might have just frosted itand relabeled it as bars instead ofas a cake, but Marie was frus-trated with the whole business anddecided to give it up for the timebeing. She could always try againanother day. I, too, did not have much luck inthe kitchen. I was trying to decidewhat to make for the coffee timeafter church the next day andcouldn’t make up my mind. Noth-ing sounded good. Wife Corinnesaw me shuffling through recipesand looking perplexed so she men-tioned that she’d seen some maplerecipes in her “Good Old Days”magazine. She produced that mag-azine, and the one for maplemuffins looked interesting. I de-cided to give it a try, especiallysince I happened to have somemaple syrup on hand. This was not a complicatedrecipe, and I followed it explicitlywith careful measurement of ingre-dients and procedure. After every-thing was in the mix and stirredup, I realized I had a problem. Thebatter was not nearly liquidenough to spoon into muffin cups.I would have had to roll it intoballs or something to get it into thepaper liners. Well, in the pastwhen making muffins out of a non-

calorie sweetener called Splenda,I’ve had to add extra milk sinceSplenda makes dough quite sticky.That had worked before so why nottry it again? I had to use a lot ofmilk to get the batter right, but fi-nally it was ready to bake. Thestreusel topping was also a frustra-tion since what the recipe called formade way too much of it. Therewasn’t room in the top of the cupsfor it all. No matter. Use what youneed and stuff the rest in the re-frigerator for possible later use orfor throwing out if no good use everpresented itself. I was pleased a bit later to seethat the muffins were getting niceand high in the oven and lookingquite good. Maybe I’d pulled it off.Well, although those muffins werepretty and probably nutritious andall, they had almost no noticeableflavor. They were okay with lash-ings of butter, but by themselvesthey were dull. Corinne and I coulddiscern no maple flavor whatso-ever. I took them to church anywaywith a certain amount of disgust,and people ate them. I didn’t actu-ally see anyone come back for sec-onds, but neither did I see any inthe trash can. I did almost makeFayola choke when I saw her eat-ing one and told her that, althoughthe muffins were nice looking, itwas a pity they had no taste. Sheguffawed but said they weren’t allthat bad, bless her heart. There are days, apparently, thatjust aren’t suited for certain activ-ities. Ranchers and farmers know,for instance, that animals arenervous and hard to deal with ifthere is unsettled weather or astorm moving in. Fishermen knowthat certain weather conditionsmake it so fish will absolutely notbite no matter what you temptthem with. You can’t always tellahead of time what jobs or activi-ties are suitable for certain days,but you will find out soon enoughwhen you try doing them. Like Isaid, last Saturday was a poor dayfor cooking. Come to think of it,Tuesday wasn’t much good fordoing bookwork either. Figureswouldn’t add up that afternoon. So when you find a day simplyisn’t suitable for what you hope toaccomplish, you can do as somekids did on a TV show son Chancewas watching the other day. One ofthe kids said, “Everyone in favor ofdoing nothing all day, say ‘Aye’.”Everyone said, “Aye,” albeit some-what phlegmatically. Some days, Isuspect, are just best for doing ab-solutely nothing at all and simplyhoping tomorrow will be better.Hope you’re having a good day. Ifnot, there’s always tomorrow.

Let it be green ... by Del Bartels

Saint Patrick’s Day, March 17, is when we celebrate the “wearin’

o’ the green.” Green, though, is a year-round color.

The psychology of the color green is that it is a cool color. It often

symbolizes nature, tranquility, good luck, health ... and jealousy. It

is a theory that green can improve reading ability – a transparent

green film over a page increases reading speed and comprehension.

Green has long been a symbol of fertility – even being a common color

choice for wedding gowns in the 15th century. Yet green is often used

in decorating for its calming effect – off-stage rooms in theaters and

television sets are often colored and referred to as the “green room.”

Green is believed to soften stress and help healing – a green work

environment equates to fewer stomachaches for employees.

As of 2004, there are 192 flags of independent countries in the

world, and 87 contain the color green. The flag of Ireland is green for

its Gaelic tradition, orange for the followers of William of Orange,

and white for the peace between them.

In recent American history, old television icons include the Green

Hornet, the animated Green Lantern, Green Acres, the Ho Ho Ho

Green Giant and Mr. Green Jeans. Songs include “Green Berets,”

“Green Green Grass of Home” and Kermit the Frog’s “It’s Not Easy

Bein’ Green.” Colloquialisms include greenbacks (dollar bills), green-

horn (inexperienced), green thumb (good gardener), green-eyed mon-

ster (jealousy), green around the gills (nauseousness), the moon being

made of green cheese, and grass being greener on the other side. Food

can be green as in not being quite ripe, or green as in something

growing in the refrigerator – emphasizing the quote “I do not like

green eggs and ham!”

There are many literary and modern references to green. No,

Psalm 23:2 of the Bible, “He maketh me to lie down in green pas-

tures,” is not a reference to the field in Arlington; at least I hope not.

In the Camelot story of Sir Gawain, the character of the Green

Knight is a tester of a knight’s chivalry and character. Because of

agriculture and songs, almost everyone knows of John Deere green.

Politically, there is the Greenpeace movement and the Green Party.

Sports-wise, there are the Green Bay Packers. Almost everybody, es-

pecially heroes, have to face their own version of kryptonite.

I like the color green – money, a field after a good rain, a woman’s

eyes. I like St. Patrick’s Day – clothing, lapel pins, shamrocks, fun-

loving leprechauns. It is appropriate that the celebration originating

from “the Emerald Isle” is only three days from the first day of

spring. The drab of winter is over, and hopefully the upcoming sum-

mer will not be as brown as feared in these parts. The multi-colored

rainbow may lead to a pot of gold, but I think everything’s prominent

color is green.

The annual gun show in Philip, sponsored by American Le-gion Post #173, was held Saturday and Sunday, March 9-10,at the Philip American Legion Hall. Some people came to justlook and get information, while others bought. Some varietywas offered, with one booth selling polished and cut rock.

Legislators finished their workby passing a $4.1 billion generalappropriation bill March 8, encom-passing more money for schoolsand Medicaid providers than in themost recent past. Not everyone was happy, how-ever, with the allocation of fundsduring the final garnering ofamendments to HB1185, and $1.72million was left on the table unal-located. But legislators were as-sured that $1.7 million was not toomuch. Representative Susan Wismer,D-Britton, a frequent critic of howthe state spends its money, saidlast year’s $1.6 million left on thetable had resulted in $47 milliongoing into reserves. She opposedpassage of the bill “with thatamount of money unappropriated.” Wismer, fellow Democrats, andseveral renegade Republicans were

critical of the money that should orcould have gone to help kinder-garten through twelth grade edu-cation and Medicare providers, butinstead was spent on constructingnew buildings, tearing down oldbuildings and putting more moneyinto reserves. Senator Billie Sutton, D-Burke,who also serves on the Joint Appro-priations Committee, was gener-ally kinder and more conciliatoryin his attempt to amend thebudget. But, the frustration wasevident. The attempt had been togive Medicare providers another$4.6 million and education another$2.1 million, both in one-timemoney. They also sought to provide$21,000 to a veteran’s service pro-grams, which helps pay vehicle ex-penses for volunteer drivers whotransport veterans to medical ap-pointments. It would also have taken away$500,000 that appropriation com-mittee legislators had voted forLegislative Research Council pro-grams that assist legislators. Key Republicans, on the otherhand, were happy with the resultsof the budget work. Sen. Deb Pe-ters, R-Hartford, who chairs theSenate side of the Joint Appropria-tions Committee, said, “once again,education received the first dollarand the last dollar.” Both educationand Medicaid providers, she said,have received one-time funds forthe current fiscal year, as well asnext. “Utilizing one-time funds,”said Peters, “allows us to continueto be conservative with our ongoingspending with all the uncertaintiesthat lie ahead of our state, such asfederal budget cuts, healthcare re-form and an uncertain economy.” The governor, said Peters, left$26.5 million in one-time funds inFT2013 on the bottom line and thechange in estimates provided an-other $5.1 million, for a total of$31.6 million. “We were able to in-vest that money in K12 education,providers, higher education, schol-arships and economic develop-ment,” said Peters. The total gen-

eral fund spending for FY2014, shesaid, will be $1,327,249,577, whichwill allow the FY2014 budget to bebalanced both nominally and struc-turally. General fund spending was bro-ken down as education, 46 percent;taking care of people, 39 percent;protecting the public 10 percent,and all the rest of state governmentat only five percent. Major accomplishments, said Pe-ters, was the three percent infla-tionary increase in state aid to gen-eral education, plus a one percentone-time increase in the currentyear for kindergarten-12 educa-tion. Postsecondary technical insti-tutes received the same three per-cent inflationary increase, plus onepercent one-time increase. The Board of Regents received a$5.4 million increase to their basebudget, plus $3.7 million in one-time funding. Providers will receive a threepercent increase in their ongoingallocations with an additional onepercent one-time rate increase forthe remainder of this fiscal year. A three percent salary policy wasgiven to state employees, plus amovement to job worth, said Pe-ters. “We were also able to fund$4.1 million in ongoing generalfunds and $3 million in one-timegeneral funds,” she said, for thenew Public Safety ImprovementAct. This will improve public safety,Peters said, “by investing in pro-grams, practices and policies thathave been proven to reduce recidi-vism, hold offenders more account-able by strengthening communitysupervision, and reduce correctionsspending and focus prison space onviolent, chronic, and career crimi-nals. “This is a budget that is re-sponsible and will continue to serveour citizens and our state for thecoming year and positions our statefor future growth.” The House adopted the bill witha 48-17 vote, and the Senateadopted it 31-4.

Status of the Winter Wheat Crop

There is increasing interest,and concern, about the winterwheat crop in much of SouthDakota. As addressed in this col-umn two weeks ago, it will be dif-ficult to accurately assess yourwinter wheat stand until theplants break dormancy, or in manycases, until the seeds germinateand emerge. Based on historicalsoil temperatures, that will likelyoccur in mid to late-March. Thestatement, “until the seeds germi-nate and emerge”, is of course dueto much of it being planted into drysoil, some of which is still dry.

Based on soil temperatures atseveral of the automatic weatherstations this winter and limitedfield inspections, it appears thatmuch of the winter wheat that ger-minated last fall may have escapedwinterkill, at least in south-centralSouth Dakota. Two major concerns seem to re-main. Many areas in South Dakotaare seriously lacking topsoil and/orsubsoil moisture. Seeds that ger-minated last fall, and those gettingjust enough moisture to germinatethis spring, could grow for a shorttime once soil temperatures raiseto 39 degrees F or higher, and thendry out if additional precipitationis not received within a short timeafter. There are also fields that lacktopsoil as well as subsoil moisture,and winter wheat planted into drysoil also has the risk of not com-pleting the vernalization process.Neither seedling growth nor tiller-ing is required for vernalization tooccur. This process can begin inseeds as soon as they absorb waterand swell, and be complete if a pe-riod of about three weeks passeswhen the soil temperature at theseed/seedling level remains belowabout 48° F. The exact length oftime and temperature varies by

variety, and is correlated closely towinterhardiness and relative ma-turity. The more winterhardy andlater maturing a variety is, thelonger the time required and thelower the soil temperature theseed/seedling must be exposed to.The vernalization process must becompleted for winter cereals tojoint and produce a seedhead. As the month of March pro-gresses and we move into April,the likelihood of a three week pe-riod with soil temperatures consis-tently below 48° F diminishes. His-torically, soil temperatures havevaried from one year to another onany given date at each weatherstation during this time period.That makes it difficult to predicthow late in the spring a winterwheat seed could absorb moisture,germinate and complete vernaliza-tion. If these dry fields do not re-ceive enough moisture by late-March to begin the germinationprocess, the rare occasion of winterwheat planted in the fall and notvernalizing may occur in 2013. Significant precipitation in thenear future would relieve a host ofpotential problems. Again, beforedestroying a winter wheat field,contact your crop insurance agent.They can explain your options andthe requirements to maintain in-surance coverage. Also, avoidinter-seeding spring wheat intowinter wheat as this would resultin mixed wheat at harvest and re-sult in marketing problems and al-most certain price reduction.

Farm Rescue Foundation, a newnonprofit organization that helpsfarm families recovering from in-jury or illness, has announced thatindividuals may now apply for as-sistance in acquiring specialized,non-medical equipment to over-come physical challenges. Tempo-rary volunteer labor is also avail-able to help with physical chal-lenges during the recovery processto a limited number of cases. “Sustaining life on a farm can be(a) challenge to anyone followingan unexpected physical setback.The Farm Rescue Foundation ishere to help during the recoveryprocess to ensure that familieshave an opportunity to continue vi-able operations,” said Bill Gross,Farm Rescue Foundation presidentand founder. On March 9, Gross will be in-ducted into the North Dakota Agri-culture Hall of Fame for his contri-butions to agriculture in thepreservation of the family farm.Gross is also the founder of FarmRescue, a separate nonprofit organ-ization that provides planting orharvesting assistance to those whohave experienced a major illness,or natural disaster. While FarmRescue provides assistance duringcrises in the form of fieldwork, theFarm Rescue Foundation providesassistance during the recoveryphase consisting of special equip-ment or physical labor. Applicantsfor this new assistance need nothave received assistance fromFarm Rescue. The mission of the Farm RescueFoundation is to improve the qual-ity of life through charitable serv-ices for rural citizens that have ex-perienced a major illness, injury, ornatural disaster and provide finan-cial grants to public charities whofocus their efforts in rural regionsof America. As a result of the assistance pro-vided by the Farm Rescue Founda-tion, farm families can survive po-tentially devastating circum-stances, enabling them to remainon the farm while in the recoveryprocess. The available assistanceprovides an avenue to keep familyfarms intact, which in turn helpsthe economic, social and civic well-being of rural communities. For more information, or to offerassistance, contact the Farm Res-

cue Foundation by calling 701-252-2016 or visiting www.farmrescuefoundation.org.

by Senator John Thune Nearly every day I meet withgroups, agencies, and organiza-tions that are impacted by agricul-ture production. Some are ranchersand farmers, while others arebankers, car dealers, and lawyers,all of whom take a special interestin agriculture despite not alwaysdirectly working in agriculture. Allof them know that because agricul-ture is the number one industry inSouth Dakota, the success of ouragriculture producers greatly im-pacts South Dakota’s economy. In March, we recognize and cele-brate the many contributions of ouragricultural producers acrossSouth Dakota and our country withAg Appreciation Day. As a pastmember of the House Ag Commit-tee and now a member of the Sen-ate Ag Committee I have hadunique opportunities to shape anddraft the past few Farm Bills andaddress the needs of SouthDakota’s and our nation’s agricul-ture industry. Although South Dakota farmersand ranchers are much more athome and comfortable tending to anewborn calf or lamb, or operatinga piece of farm equipment, I sin-

cerely appreciate those who takethe time from their schedules andfarming operations to visit with meas I travel around the state or inmy Washington, D.C. office toshare their concerns. South Dakota agricultural pro-ducers are very fortunate to haveseveral state-based organizationsrepresenting their diverse interestswho also provide valuable adviceand assistance to me. If I have aquestion or need information aboutcorn, wheat, soybeans, beef anddairy cattle, hogs, grasslands, orconservation practices, my staffand I know who to call to find accu-rate answers to our questions or toobtain sound advice about an ag-re-lated issue or legislation. In spite of last year’s widespreaddrought, thanks to their hard work,willingness to pay for available riskprotection tools like crop insurance,and their use of moisture savingtillage practices and drought toler-ant crop genetics, South Dakotafarmers and ranchers met theweather-related challenges theyfaced. I not only appreciate the safe andaffordable food our ag producersprovide, but I also appreciate their

willingness to pull their weight inaddressing the runaway federalspending that is plaguing thiscountry’s economic wellbeing. Direct payments bring morethan $140 million to South Dakotaeach year, yet South Dakota pro-ducers are willing to give up directpayments and other types of assis-tance in the next Farm Bill. I donot know a single farmer or

rancher who would rather receivea government check than profitfrom what they grow on the farm orranch. As we celebrate Ag AppreciationDay, we take this opportunity tothank all South Dakota farmers,ranchers, all other ag producers,and ag-related businesses for allthey do.

Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) hassent a letter to National Park Serv-ice Director Jonathan Jarvis ques-tioning whether the NPS is playingpolitics in deciding to close WindCave National Park’s 64-site ElkMountain Campground. The NPS decision to close theElk Mountain Campground camefollowing the implementation of se-questration and appears to sub-stantiate reports that the NPS isintentionally trying to make thecuts more visible to the public. Thune’s letter seeks informationfrom the NPS regarding its analy-sis that closing the Elk MountainCampground, which generates rev-enue for the park, and reducing vis-itor center hours is more cost effec-tive than making targeted cutselsewhere.

“It seems difficult to say with astraight face that completely elim-inating a source of revenue for theNational Park Service is a smart,targeted cut,” said Thune. “Insteadof cuts that reduce wasteful andduplicative spending, the adminis-tration’s politically calculated cutsare targeting facilities like thecampground that actually serve asa revenue source for the park. Itappears NPS is just anotheragency following the White House’slead in trying to find the cuts thatcan trigger a press release beforelooking to internal cost savingmeasures that are less news wor-thy.” Thune’s letter requests a re-sponse from NPS regarding theNPS and Wind Cave National Parksequestration strategies by March20.

Is closing Wind Cave

You wouldhave to stop and rest your team ofhorses part way up with a load ofcoal. Just one time, when I wasmaybe five or so, Rolla and Effie(my parents) took me along to Cot-tonwood. On the way home, weslept overnight at a schoolhouse.Schoolhouses were always un-locked and the schoolhouses hadbarns for horses. We had a cowhiderobe and a horsehide robe to make

sleep possible. Saturday, March 2, at SomersetCourt, we had exercises with bonusbucks and almost every chair filled. In the afternoon, activity directorSusan held a class on decoratingshamrocks. There was a goodgroup enjoying this activity andthey put together many shamrocks,all different. David Plocek, Lemmon, visitedEileen Tenold and other acquain-tances at Somerset Court over theweekend. New Somerset Court resident onthird floor, is Lila Fiest. She andher husband, Tony, have a home atthe other end of Rapid City. Wehope she will like it here at Somer-set Court. At Somerset Court, the movie“The Color Purple” was re-run Sat-urday, March 2. It is based on anovel by Alice Walker (1983).Wikipedia gives a condensed run-down of the story. It seemed to meto show much more misery thanjoy. Black Hills State University hasput out their spring, 2013 alumnimagazine. There is a nice articleabout a Philip graduate and 1971graduate of BHSU, Matt Schofield.Matt has written two books, “WhenReason Fails,” and “The Protest.”Schofield credits English assign-ments at BHSU as foundation forhis novels. He loved his college life.There he met his future wife,Carol, and played drums in a localrock band. Matt and Carol live inPhilip. BHSU graduate, Gertrude(Doughty) Woodden, most recentlyof New Underwood, was mentionedin the alumni magazine in thememory column. Jim Gottslebenand Mary Pekron were also men-tioned in the memory column.BHSU is developing on campus anative plant garden with a basis ofbuffalo grass. (Please do not dig upthe buffalo grass on my cemeteryplot in the Philip Masonic Ceme-tery. The weather was fine for March2, 2013, and Maxine Kilmer took aride around the grounds at Somer-set Court. Sunday, March 3, at SomersetCourt, several residents went outto church. At 2:00 p.m. we hadchurch with Terry Pulse. Stevetalked first. And Jack played thepiano. He played “Showers of

Blessing” and several other hymnsfor us to sing. Terry said that weneed to say, “Here I am, what am Igood for, let me know.” Another new resident here atSomerset Court is Marilyn Bailie.We hope you like it here. The March 3, 2013, Rapid CityJournal had a good article aboutMonarch butterflies. At Zitacuaro,Mexico, the man relating the infor-mation, Jason Skipton, tells usthat millions of Monarch butter-flies gather at San Cayetano. AMonarch butterfly lives only four tofive weeks, so it requires four orfive generations to make the jour-ney north and south. One of God’smiracles. Therein lies the strengthof the Monarch. Each new genera-tion carries the built-in instinct togo back to the native home. Thanksto my daughter, Vinnie, who tookme some years back, to see aMonarch butterfly gathering placesomewhere near Santa Cruz. Itwas exciting to see thousands ofthem. Al’s Oasis of Oacoma, has been inthe Mueller family since 1919. Al’ssons, Steve and Mark, have beenrunning it. The year, Al’s Oasis willhave different ownership owner-ship. I believe the Muellers stillhave an interest. My husband, Vir-gil Hansen, painted many largeroad signs of Al’s Oasis, as well ascarving some beautiful signs forthe fronts of the line of stores. Theywere a light colored wood, withback grounds of black sheet steel. Thank you to Fred Smith, Som-erset Court resident, who hasbrought me a song book with pianonotes for Somerset Court. Peoplewho attended the Rapid City Cal-vary Lutheran Church were giventhem at their church service today. Irene Cox had company onMarch 6, her son and his wife, Donand Pam Cox, of rural New Under-wood. Wednesday March 6, 2013, atSomerset Court, we had residentcouncil with a very good atten-dance. We sang “Happy Birthday”to our good buddy, Ryan Love,(Somerset Court director). Shawnreviewed some of the highlightsscheduled for Somerset Court forMarch – cooking with Sandy, musicwith Skeeter, setting our clocksahead with a reminder not to try tostand on chairs to do this as staffwill help us, foot clinic, ice creamtrip, painting with Susan, St.Patrick’s Day, goofy golf, bingowith the Boys’ Club, camp in, stairclimbing, coloring Easter eggs andan Easter party, and many otherdelightful activities. Residents may ask staff mem-bers to accompany them on walksoutdoors. Sign out and wear yoursafety buttons when you walk out-doors. Also carry your cell phone assafety buttons only work near theSomerset Court building. For April Fool’s Day, we couldhave scrambled seating. Just for alark. Several people expressedtheir enjoyment of our randomseating when we were installingthe new dining room carpet. Somerset Court will present eachresident with a mug to take drinksto his apartment. Residents mayarrange with a staff member toplay Wii bowling, at times when itis not scheduled.

When residents are expectingguests, they should give notice toKammi at the desk so that she canreserve a table or provide seatingfor guests as soon as it is available. Tuesday, March 5, 2013, at Som-erset Court, we had the activity ofping-pong poker. Thanks to Shawnand Sandy. Those playing wereEileen Tenold, Irene McKnight,Fred Smith, Jim Holmes, AddieRorvig, Marilyn Butts, Irene Ar-bach, Bert Schneider, MarjorieGaffin, Kay Daughterty, MildredYoung, Mary Lou Peters, and Vi-vian Hansen. Marilyn B. won thefirst game and the second one waswon by Mildred Young. Thank you for calling SomersetCourt Tuesday bingo. For snack and chat, we hadtreats of coffee and ice water and alight fluffy banana cupcakes withwhip cream and a banana chip. Later, we had a table of whistwith Irene Cox and Ina Oerllinestanding Marcella Kraft and Vi-vian Hansen. Others played Quid-dler. The Hillsdale College “Imprimis”magazine arrived today, thanks tomy son-in-law, Al Vogan. It has anarticle by Amity Shlaes from herbook, “Coolidge.” She outlines theaction taken by Coolidge. PresidentCoolidge is quoted as saying, “Wemust have no carelessness in ourdealings with public property orthe expenditure of public money.Such a condition is characteristic ofundeveloped people, or of a deca-dent generation.” He and hisbudget director, Herbert Lord,went right to work and announceddeepened cuts in two politicallysensitive areas: spending on veter-ans and District of Columbia Pub-lic Works. … Her article expresseshope for our political situation. Thefrugal policies of Harding and

Coolidge occurred after a long pe-riod of Progressive ascendency. Be sure to attend SomersetCourt’s resident council Wednes-day, March 6, 2013. Wear yoursafety locket. You never knowwhen Somerset Court bucks will beawarded. Thursday, March 7, at SomersetCourt, we had the activity of Wiibowling. Thursday we also had bowlingwith snack and chat following. Wehad brownies with a dusting ofpowdered sugar and coffee for atreat. After bingo, Irene Cox, Mary LouPeters, Addie Rorvig and VivianHansen played bananagrams for awhile. They didn’t want to get tiredof quiddler. My niece, WandaMeyer Artz, and husband Ed,Humboldt, sent a letter. They havebeen playing a card game calledLiverpool, which they find chal-lenging. Maybe we can look intoLiverpool. And what was that tablegame my nephew, Leonard Meyer,mentioned? Five crowns? Betterlook into that too. Ben and Danni Stone have a bigamaryllis blooming. It can be seenfrom the Somerset Court “over-pass.” I went over to see it in per-son. It is red and very grand. Itdoes your heart good to see such aflower. Ben has an extensive li-brary of classic books and other fa-vorites. He might be willing to lendsome of them. It is almost spring! Some peoplehave even sat outdoors in the Som-erset courtyard for a little while.Sometimes now the sun shines inand wind lies low. My reblooming amaryllis grewtwo inches in two days. Now, it is17 inches tall. I repotted it into abigger pot, the one that had the bigblooms last week.

Father Reuben Valades_____________ Monday, Tony Harty visitedShirley Hair and make the usualphone calls to friends to visit withthem during the day. Monday, I was the HaakonCounty Prairie Transportation vandriver from Kadoka, stopping inPhilip to exchange vehicles andpick up another passenger, then onto Rapid City for appointments. Itwas really one of those super windydays, and on the way home therewere some patches of flurries, butnothing to write home about andthankfully it wasn’t any worse.Thankful we were in the RapidCity area, since in the Sturgis areathey had a full-fledged snowstorm,no travel was advised from Sturgisto the Wyoming border. While inRapid, I had the chance to slip intothe hospital and visit Vi Moodywho was holding down a bed inICU but coming along nicely afterquite a bout with some fast occur-ring health issues. Tuesday, Tony Harty visited hisniece, Kathy Brown. Wednesdaywas a quiet day with a visit toShirley Hair, then Tony hit the“mother lode” when he stopped bythe Kadoka locker plant and therewere a lot of beef tongues available. Sandee Gittings was in theKadoka area Tuesday and Midlandarea Thursday on her job. Tuesday morning, I was a visitorat the home of Mary Schnee. In theafternoon I had a van run to Philipfor a dentist appointment for a cus-tomer and while there visited atthe home of Kay Ainslie, who letme in on a pending birthday party.Kay even found me a great card totake, so I crashed the party for Ber-dyne (Peterson) Parsons with onlyan appetite. Berit Bendickson fixedup a cake recipe from Norway andShirley O’Connor, Eileen Fitzger-ald, Kay Ainslie were also there.Berit said her sister, Ingred, andthe folks at the bank she works forin Holgerson, Norway, all read thePioneer Review. Greetings to allyou readers in Norway from theBendicksons and this writer. George Gittings helped Ed Mor-rison get a truck to Pierre Wednes-day. Wednesday morning, I caught aride to bowling with Lila Whidby,along with Cindy Wilmarth andJoyce Hicks. Next time a team asksme to bowl they may reconsidersince I didn’t even make my aver-age. Tony Harty visited at ourplace in the late afternoon. Thursday, Tony Harty andShirley Hair made a trip to Wan-blee. Tony visited with Carol Solonwhile she was babysitting at thehome of Patrick Solon in Kadoka inthe afternoon.

George Gittings visited at theLorraine and Henry Hanson homeone afternoon. Thursday was a beautiful day. Inthe morning, the HCPT van wasbusy with some in town errands forfolks and also a trip to Rapid Cityby way of Highway 44. Since theappointment the customer had wasquite lengthy, I visited at the hos-pital checking in on Bonnie(Briggs) Riggins who was recover-ing from surgery as well as SherylBouman and Vi Moody, who hadher own room. Bill Sumpter wentby the bowling alley after cards andwatched bowling and had suppersince it was later when I got home. Friday, after Cathy Fiedler gotoff work, Ralph and she went toRapid to get her a new chair. Some-times sitting is punishment andthat is what Cathy was dealingwith. They found one, did a coupleof other errands, and then stoppedat a pizza place for supper and metKaren Nelson, her daughter, Kath-leen Nelson, and granddaughterand Karen’s folks, Don and MaryKeyser. They enjoyed a short butnice visit. Friday was a usual day for TonyHarty, visiting with the Hairs andgetting the mail. Saturday, Tonymade a trip to Wanblee to pick upsome things then visited at theHairs and at his great-niece’s,Misty Hamar, Steve Doughty, RussHattel, Kathy Brown, and ThesaIreland. A call from the Moodys fromtheir Rapid Valley home let usknow that Vi was out of the hospi-tal and coming along nicely. Noth-ing gets your attention faster thanthings going wrong with your sys-tem and nothing is more appreci-ated as when it gets back on theright track. Now they can watch

the geese flocking back from theirvantage point in Rapid Valley andenjoy other wildlife until they ven-ture back to the ranch. Friday morning bright and early,Bill and I went to Madison, andtook grandson, Chase May, Carlyand little Jaxon to lunch. ShelleySeager joined us for an afternoon ofvisiting and playing with Jaxon.Carol Solon shared her rabbit cos-tume with me, so I dressed up andgot pictures with the little guy. Hisparents were amazed he didn’t getscared of that big fuzzy thing. Bill,I and Shelley went on to Sioux

Falls to the home of grandson, EricSeager, and enjoyed a visit therebefore going to granddaughtergAmanda and Adam Claflin for sup-per. Bill and I were overnightguests at the Claflins and Shelleya guest at Eric’s.

It is Sunday, March 10, and Iam still in Mitchell. Plans were tohead home Saturday. Planschanged, as it began raining, turn-ing to rain-snow mix and withthose temperatures turning colderit made for very icy conditions. Wewoke up Sunday morning to coldtemperatures and overcast skies.Called Jerry to see what it wasdoing in Midland. He reported thesun was shining. Checked on roadconditions throughout the day, wastold it wasn’t good around Presho.The sun came out for a while, butthen became overcast once againand there was wind. Our daughter,April Meeker, and her husband,Steve, were at the state tourna-ment in Watertown this weekend,as, their daughter, Miranda, playsfor the Spearfish Spartans basket-ball team. They were excited tomake it to state this year. Beforeheading back to Spearfish, Steveand April drove to Sioux Falls andfrom there headed home. I calledthem about 20 minutes ago, to seeabout the road conditions, theywere driving by Kadoka, said roadswere fine there, but that they haddriven on some bad roads on I-90back to the east. They slowed downto 40 miles per hour, saw two semi-trucks and two cars in the ditch.So, I guess it was a good thing Ididn’t start out for home. I am notwhat you would call an experienceddriver on bad roads. So, we will seewhat Monday brings. Just betweenyou and me, I’ll take our WestRiver weather compared to EastRiver. They get more ice downSioux Falls way. But, that rain andwet snow Mitchell did get wouldhave been welcomed in our area.We do need moisture. The goodnews is that our granddaughter,Laura, is feeling much better. Sheis a busy little bee. Time to get at the news. Tried

calling folks, but some weren’thome and others didn’t have anynews. Keith Hunt and ChristineNiedan headed for Smith Center,Kan., early Friday morning to pickup their niece and nephews, Dei-dra, Blake, and Stuart Hackerott.With weather conditions predictedfor Saturday, they headed backhome to Midland the same day.The kids have a week off fromschool for spring break. Deidra is asenior this year so graduationplans are in the making. Wilma Saucerman and PrerrySaucerman were in Philip Thurs-day with Wilma visiting her hus-band, Gaylord Saucerman, at thePhilip Nursing Home and Prerryvisiting her mom, Marlin Evans, atthe Senechal apartments. Marlin isscheduled for knee surgery inApril, I believe it is, so Prerry washelping her mom out with a fewprojects. Wishing you good luckwith your surgery, Marlin. When itis all done with, you will be gladyou had it done. I know I was. Tuesday, March 5, Keith Hunt,Midland, along with Sylvia Huberand Kevin Huber, Rapid City, at-tended the funeral of William “Bill”Huber which was held at theUnited Church of Christ in BelleFourche. Keith met Bill when hewas living with Danny and ThildaMulcahy in Ft. Pierre and attendedthe eighth grade at the school in Ft.Pierre. Bill’s wife, Violet Huber,was a cousin to Sylvia’s late hus-band, Leroy Huber. The Barnesfamily was pleased and surprisedSylvia was able to come to the fu-neral. Keith had a short conversa-tion with Debbie who he had notseen since 1961. They were also atthe Black Hills National Cemeterynear Sturgis for the full militaryhonor services. On the way back toMidland, Keith attended the Re-

gion 7 boys’ basketball champi-onship game between White Riverand Oelrichs, which was held inWall. I am closing my news columnfor this week. Road conditions werenot the best Monday morning, sowaited until afternoon with tem-peratures warming up and the sunshining before heading home. Theroads were good, but you could seewhere a number of vehicles hadgone in the ditch between Mitchelland Chamberlain. I made a pit-stop at Chamberlain. They re-ported they had gotten rain Satur-day and then six to seven inches ofsnow on top of that. About fivemiles east of Presho the wind wasblowing strong. I bucked the windthe rest of the way home with fieldsof dirt blowing. Not good. We des-perately need moisture. While atMitchell, Christopher, Stephanieand I watched the girl’s state tour-nament at Watertown on TV. Jerrywas watching the same games, sowe were on the phone following thegames. The Spearfish Spartans lostthe first game, but won the nexttwo, so went home with fifth place.Our daughter, April, said they hadicy conditions beginning on Fridayevening at Watertown. So, every-one is glad to be home. I will tryand collect more news next week.Have a good day and a good week.

The family of

Jerry and Sonia Nemec, Midland, put up for auction Frank and Florence Schwalm’s F7 quarter circle brand at Tuesday’sPhilip Livestock Auction’s sale. The Nemecs had purchased the brand several years ago but decided to sell the brand withthe proceeds going toward a scholarship at Black Hills State University. The Schwalm’s daughters, Linda Bowman and MaryScott, liked the idea. BHSU scholarships in memory of Olga Meyers and Harold DeYoung, relatives of the Nemecs, alreadyexisted, but it was decided to combine those two scholarships with the proceeds from the brand sale and form the Meyers,DeYoung and Schwalm Scholarship. Nemec’s son-in-law, Steve Meeker, vice president of University Advancement at BHSU,helped facilitate the sale and scholarship. The scholarship is for any South Dakota resident, but preference is given to stu-dents from Midland and/or Haakon, Stanley, Jones and Jackson counties. The brand sold for $400.

Brand sale adds to scholarship fund

Greetings from sunny, cool,breezy, very dry northeast HaakonCounty. We haven't had any mois-ture, but we have had excess windrecently. I heard that CheyenneSchool in Stanley County has beenclosed recently because of blowingdust! I hope and pray that we re-ceive some moisture soon. It is getting closer to spring,which means there are more birdsshowing up every day. I noticed ayard full of robins recently, scratch-ing through last year's leavesunder the apple trees, searching forsomething to eat. And more birdsmeans more crashes. This morn-ing, a small bird tried to flythrough my picture window. Itwasn't successful, and now it is sit-ting on the sidewalk in front of myhouse, too stunned to fly. I hope itrecovers its senses before the catsfind it – otherwise, it won't be good

news for the bird! I have a new the-ory about why the birds keep flyinginto that window. From a bird's eyeview, they are probably lookinginto the south facing picture win-dow and seeing the sliding glassdoor on the north side of thehouse – they obviously think theycan fly right through here! I don'tthink I have a solution to the prob-lem, so I just have to hope that nolarge birds try to make their waythrough the house. First of all, condolences to Ronand Helen Beckwith and family.Helen's father, Leo Gebhart,Brookings, passed away last week-end at the age of 95. He leaves oneson, eight daughters, 37 grandchil-dren and 74 great-grandchildren.That is quite a legacy! Congratulations to the cast andcrew of the Hayes play. There werethree performances at Hayes Hall

last weekend, and it sounds likethe attendees were well enter-tained. It takes a lot of time and ef-fort to put on these productions,and I applaud the folks who workto keep the Hayes play traditiongoing. This was the 60th annualHayes play – good job! And speaking of Hayes, I was inHayes early Saturday morning topick up my Bountiful Basket.There is a Hayes food co-op, andbaskets of fresh fruits and vegeta-bles arrive every two weeks. Theproduce is so fresh and delicious,and the value is excellent. Bounti-ful Baskets are available in manycommunities, and if you are a fruitand veggie lover, it may be worthyour time to look into it. While I'm thinking about it, Iwant to remind you that NationalAg Day is next Tuesday, March 19.The farmers and ranchers of thiscountry work hard to provide theworld's population with the foodand fiber we need. According to Na-tional Ag Day information, "Weknow that food and fiber doesn'tjust arrive at the grocery or cloth-ing store – or magically appear onour dinner table or in our closet.There's an entire industry dedi-cated to providing plentiful andsafe food for consumption – as wellas a wide range of comfortable,fashionable clothing choices. Werely on agriculture for the very ne-cessities of life. From beef and porkto cotton and corn, agriculture isworking harder than ever to meetthe needs of Americans and othersaround the world. And it's impor-tant to remember that Americanagriculture is not just doing it, butdoing it better and more effectively!

Each American farmer feeds about144 people, and agriculture isAmerica's number one export. Andwith new technology, farmers aremore environmentally friendlythan ever before. That's reallywhat this day is all about – recog-nizing the role of agriculture – andcelebrating it." Lola Roseth was in Philip Thurs-day, and she paid a visit to herfriend, Jill (Fitch) Alfaro. Jill andLola were next door neighborswhen Lola's children were in highschool. Jill's daughter, Dorothy,was there also, and the ladies hada wonderful visit. Sunday after-noon, Thor, Jackie, and youngRoyce Roseth came to the ranch tovisit grandpa Duane and grandmaLola. Royce is growing fast, already"running" all over the place. (Thatis such a cute age – however, Imust admit that I enjoyed all theages and stages of our children.)Monday, Lola Roseth and her sis-ter, Linda Smith, made a trip toRapid City. They did some businessand visited their mother, JoyKlima. Carmen and Clark Alleman areproud grandparents. Their grand-daughter, Morgan Nelson, recentlycompeted in the state swim meet inAberdeen. Morgan competed andplaced in nine events and came insecond for points scored in her agegroup. Congratulations, and keepup the good work! Ed Briggs recently attended aSouth Dakota Ag and Rural Lead-ership event in Ft. Pierre. Ed man-ages to stay very busy, and I canseldom catch him to get caught upon his news. I wasn't able to catch up withClint and Laura Alleman thisweek, either, but I do have somenews that came too late for lastweek's column. Johnathon andJustin Neuharth came to spend theday recently at Clint and Laura'shouse. Laura said it was awesometo have the kids run and play in thehouse. And little Alivya learnedthat noise was more fun to makewhen there were two other littleones to help. Clint, Laura andAlivya also helped Laura's father,Randy Yost, celebrate his 57thbirthday, which was March 4.Laura was the director of theHayes play this year, so now thatthe flurry of Hayes play activitiesis done, I hope she is able to takethings a little easy. Dick and Gene Hudson were inRapid City last Tuesday to havethe stitches removed followingGene's recent eye surgery. Wednes-day evening, Dick and Gene at-tended the pancake supper andLenten services at the Lutheranchurch in Midland. The supper andservices were well attended, andthey enjoyed visiting with manyfriends and neighbors. Friday, Dickand Gene were in Philip to attenda meeting on sorghum production,and Friday evening they were onhand for the first performance ofthe 2013 Hayes play. Randy Neuhauser and sons-in-law, Ross Tschetter and Mike Hoy,stopped by Sunday to pick up eggsand visit for a bit. Billy and Arlyne Markwed had avisit from their grandson, TrentKurtz, Friday. He was on his wayto Rapid City to attend the girl'sbasketball tournament there.Trent spent Friday night with hismother and stepfather, Cindy andBruce Bresee, in Spearfish. Fridayevening, Billy and Arlyne attendedthe Hayes play, and the rest of theweekend was spent watching thegirl's basketball tournament on tel-evision. They attended church Sun-day. Nels and Dorothy Paulson werein Pierre Wednesday to keep eyeappointments. While at the eye

When securing meat prior tocooking a lot of recipes call fortoothpicks. A reader suggestedspaghet- ti noodles instead. Goodthought, I always seem to miss atleast one toothpick.

I’ve used recipes that call forcoating of nuts and chocolate chipswith flour before adding to yourbatter, but didn’t know the reason-ing behind the direction. Now Iknow it’s to keep them from sink-ing to the bottom!

I’ve always cut my cinnamonrolls with small diameter string,but have found out recently thatunflavored dental floss is even bet-ter. It would work as well for cut-ting cakes in half for layering orcutting the top off a cake to makeit even prior to layering.

“8 Years of The Neighbor Lady”cookbook I have suggested coatingyour knife with butter before cut-ting meringue pies. Now whydidn’t I think of that; it would keepthe meringue from sticking andpulling up.

Another one of those why didn’tI think of that is when makingdeviled eggs put the hard boiledegg yolks in a sealable plastic bag.Add remaining ingredients, closebag and mix by working the bagwith your hands. Cut a small tipoff one corner and squeeze into theegg white.

With March 17 – St. Patrick’sfast approaching I got to wonder-ing just who he was and why isthis day celebrated in the mannerit is.According to The History Chan-nel’s website, Saint Patrick lived

during the fifth century and is thepatron saint and national apostleof Ireland. “Born in RomanBritain, he was kidnapped andbrought to Ireland as a slave atthe age of 16. He later escaped,but returned to Ireland and wascredited with bringing Christian-ity to its people. In the centuriesfollowing Patrick's death (believedto have been on March 17, 461),the mythology surrounding his lifebecame ever more ingrained in theIrish culture: Perhaps the mostwell known legend is that he ex-plained the Holy Trinity (Father,Son and Holy Spirit) using thethree leaves of a native Irishclover, the shamrock,” noted thewebsite.

As to how it is celebrated, thewebsite stated, “On St. Patrick'sDay, which falls during the Chris-tian season of Lent, Irish familieswould traditionally attend churchin the morning and celebrate inthe afternoon. Lenten prohibitionsagainst the consumption of meatwere waived and people woulddance, drink and feast on the tra-ditional meal of Irish bacon andcabbage.”

It is believed that the day hasbeen celebrated since the ninth or10th century.

pretty busy. Sunday morning aftera breakfast at Eric’s for all of us,Bill and I turned toward home, en-countering some nasty roads untilabout Vivian and Shelley plungedoff to the south in very nasty con-ditions. She made it home safe, butit was so bad she couldn’t even finda place to pull over and stop. InKadoka it was 50˚, go figure. Saturday evening, Ralph andCathy Fiedler attended a retire-ment party for a friend and co-worker. She has worked at thesame nursing home for 45 years.They got to see other gals whoCathy worked with when she firststarted at the Sturgis NursingHome, so it was like old home weekfor them all. Sunday afternoon, Don Klumband Hannah came to Sturgis tohelp go through Cathy Fiedler’scomputer and see what was wrong.It was her modem, so the cablecompany had to come and replaceit. Later, Eric, Sherry, Elsie andLoman Hanson joined them, thenCaitlin and Tessa picked upLynette at work and they cameover for supper, with Caitlin driv-ing. No special occasion, justwanted to get together for supper.After dessert of homemade peach

cake that Sherry made, everyoneheaded for home. Tony Harty had a fight with hisvan Sunday when a sensor ran thebattery down. He took all the bulbsout, so when the indicator said thedoor was open (and it wasn’t) andthe lights stayed on, it wouldn’trun down the battery. After he gotit started, he attended church.Bernard and Barbara Herber vis-ited at Tony’s after church, as didhis niece, Kathy Brown. He haddinner out after their visit andstopped by the Hairs. “Liberty is not a gift from God,but a hard-won achievement withthe help of God.” DaysiesAn interesting article caught myeye as I was traveling through themany pages of things that had beencollected by my ancestors and keptby my mom. One such article, writ-ten March 15, 1887, in Kalamazoo,Mich., seems to be a letter to theeditor item. “STOP! This LicensedIniquity of Rum Selling. PART-NERSHIP WITH THE DEVILMUST BE STOPPED. Count theCrimes Which are the Result ofDrunkenness. (This is just theheadlines). …“In its statistical as-pects the magnitude of this evil issimply appalling. Nearly ten hun-

dred millions of dollars in the ag-gregate annually squandered fordrink to pour down the throats ofthis highly cultured, civilized peo-ple.” “The American people paymore than six times as much in oneyear for intoxicating liquors as theypay for educating their children inpublic schools, and other institu-tions of learning. More than threetimes as much for drink as forclothing – twice as much for whiskyas for bread, and the aggregate ofall the wages earned in America inall branches of manufacturing inone year does not equal the amountpaid out for intoxicating beveragesduring the same period.” “Whatstupendous folly to pay out suchenormous sums of money for soworthless, so baneful a thing, that,at the best – ‘biteth like a serpent;and stingeth like an adder.’” – “Butit is said this is a land of freedom;that you cannot constitutionallycontrol the people in the gratifica-tion of their appetites – that theycan eat and drink what they like,etc. This is not true as a merelylegal proposition. The statutes ofall the states provide for the ap-pointment of trustees, conserva-tors, and guardians for minors,spendthrifts, the imbecile, idioticand insane and all who are ad-judged Incompetent to managetheir own business affairs. Andcannot the state legally protect andtake the guardianship of its spend-thrift idiotic citizens who squandertheir money for drink, and in sodoing evince such a lack of intelli-

gence and capacity to manage theirbusiness affairs?”… “Advocates of alicense or tax system point withpride and great satisfaction tomoney received from this source asso much clear gain, clean profitwithout any capital invested – thatthe whisky helps support crimi-nals, the insane, paupers andtramps – that it pays the salariesof judges, magistrates, sheriffs,lawyers, constables, policemen,and the officers and employees ofasylums, prisons, houses of correc-tion and the reform schools – thatit builds court houses, jails, pris-ons, asylums, poor houses andhomes for the unfortunates, withquite a nice margin left over forgeneral purposes. Does any saneman believe this? Is it not a lie,fresh from the devil himself, who issaid to be the father of lies. “But allthe tax money is dearly earned. Itis not a bonus – a free gift withoutan equivalent. The government re-ceives one hundred millions of dol-lars as its share of the plunder –blood money – but it does put in amost costly valuable considerationas its part of the capital stock inthis iniquitous business. The bodesand souls of men and women andchildren – that is the equivalent;that the price, and that is what themoney costs!” Could this be writtenabout the push to legalize mari-juana in order to collect the tax? As I reread the above, I think tomyself, how lucky are those whocan skip to the next paragraph andavoid some of this lesson from thepast.

Betwixt Places News(continued from page 5)

South Dakota legislators gaveapproval to three of eight bills thatwere recommended by the governorand attorney general’s task forceon open government. Last year, Governor Dennis Dau-gaard and Attorney General MartyJackley appointed representativesof state and local government, lawenforcement, businesses and newsmedia to review open governmentlaws and make recommendationsfor legislation for the 2013 session.Two of the three legislative propos-als to win favor among legislatorsdealt with open records issueswhile a third bill amends thestate’s open meetings law. House Bill 1112 clarifies thatcertain three-member publicboards such as township boards donot need to comply with the state’sopen meetings laws if they aremeeting only for the purpose of car-rying out previously adopted publicpolicy and ministerial functions orare conducting an investigation re-lated to public safety. The two open records billspassed by the legislature deal withclarifications related to public ac-cess to database records main-tained by government and a delib-erative process exception in theopen records reform law approvedin 2009. Among the open governmenttask force bills that were defeatedwas a bill to clarify that certain

government committees and taskforces be subject to the open meet-ings laws and that the contents ofa public meeting conducted by elec-tronic communications such asemail be subject to open meetingsand open records laws. Legislators also defeated propos-als to make arrest photos publicand to clarify that law enforcementlogs were public.

by Del Bartels Jeff O’Connell, a 2011 PhilipHigh School graduate and son ofRoger and Teresa O’Connell, ex-celled in the 2013 Summit LeagueIndoor Track and Field Champi-onship, February 24-25. As a member of the University ofSouth Dakota, Vermillion, trackand field team, O’Connell competedin five events, placing in three. Inthe long jump, and in his final at-tempt, he cleared 24’3.75” to earnfirst place. This is also his personalbest long jump distance to date. Since attending college, O’Con-nell has taken up competition inthe high jump. David Gottsleben,head manager of the USD team,explained why O’Connell entered anew event. “He’s such a good ath-lete and competitor, he did the highjump for the team. He’s a greatteam player.” “I’m pretty quick off the ground,”said O’Connell. “I hadn’t had anyexperience, but he thought I couldbe successful.” At the SummitLeague meet, O’Connell placedfifth in the high jump. He was a also member of the1,600 meter relay team. The four-person team placed first to end the

meet. This is the third time the4x400 team has taken a conferencechampionship. At this meet, theUSD boys’ team tallied up enoughpoints to be team champions.

The project is meant toshare and preserve this history toshare with future generations. Ac-cording to one of the organizers,Carmen Cowan Woodward, "Thinkabout the days when we took moretime for family and friends and ac-tually just visited and told storiesinstead of texting and emailing." Itis important to "have a great ap-preciation for the ‘old times’ andthe things that these folks have totell us. Story telling is another oneof the ‘lost arts’ that used to becommon place. We seem to be toobusy to just have fellowship timewith folks we enjoy and appreciate.It's a good way to remember wherewe came from, have some fun andgood laughs, perhaps a few tears,but also show respect by just listen-ing."

joys company and loves hearingnews from the country. Following is the February 2013weather data from Marge Briggs:The high temperature was 56˚ onthe 17th, we had five days of 50˚ orabove, and nine days of 32˚ orbelow. The lowest maximum tem-perature was 18˚ on the 19th. The low temperature for themonth was -10˚ on the 1st. We hadthree days of zero or below, and 16days of 20˚ or below. The average high for the monthwas 38˚, and the average low was17˚, giving us an average tempera-ture of 28˚ for the month. Precipitation for the month was.52”, and normal is .58”, leaving us.06” below normal for the month.Precipitation to date for 2013 is.94”, and normal is .93”, leaving us.01” above normal for the year. We received 7.1” of snow in Feb-ruary, and year-to-date we have re-ceived 12.9”. So far, winter-to-date,we have received 20” of snow. Marge provided the following in-formation to refresh our memo-

ries – in February 2011, we had2.20” of precipitation. Snow forFebruary 2011 was 25”, year-to-date snowfall at the end of Febru-ary 2011 was 32”, and the winter-to-date snowfall at the end of Feb-ruary 2011 was 54”! I sure wish wehad some of that moisture now. Thanks to Marge for the infor-mation! Hopefully one of thesedays she'll be able to report moreprecipitation for our area. But untilthen, I guess we'll just wait ourturn. The weekend here at Neuhauserranch was wonderful. Our daugh-ter, Chelsea, and her husband,Mike, arrived Friday morning tospend the weekend with us. Afterlunch Friday, our daughter, Jen-nifer, called to say she and her hus-band, Ross, were headed our way tospend the weekend also. What ahappy surprise! We had a greatweekend – lots of laughing, cardplaying, cattle checking, cooking,sewing, etc. It was wonderful! Jenand Ross had to travel over somepretty treacherous roads on their

way back to their home in Salem,but they made it safe and sound. This week, I am grateful for elec-tric seat warmers in the vehicles. Itseems that each year I get moreand more adverse to cold weather.I tried telling Randy that I reallyshould live in the south, but I'mafraid that "South" Dakota is prob-ably as far south as I will get! Any-way, the warm seats help me dealwith the cold, and I love it! A coupleof years ago, the seat warmer evenhelped warm up a calf that waschilled down! Don't you just loveconveniences that do double duty? The weather in the next few daysis supposed to warm up and bebeautiful. It will be a good opportu-nity to get outside and get some ex-ercise. And while you are at it, bethinking about something nice youcan do for someone. The randomacts of kindness do double dutyalso – they make you feel good aswell as the recipient of your kind-ness!
