After waiting, with equipment ready, for the weather to begin drying out, the crewsbegan Wednesday, April 24, tearing up the surface of Wood Avenue. Residentsare asked by the city to be patient during construction. Some neighboring resi-dents have offered temporary parking areas for others who will not have access

to their own driveways. The areas weekly garbage collection, for those residentsdirectly affected by the street project, will be done by city employees, from thecurb to the contracted garbage company. Matt Reckling, Philips public works di-rector, said that he is torn; as far as this project is concerned he hopes theweather stays dry, but as the chief of the Philip Volunteer Fire Department hehopes it rains. Shown above is the street project just getting underway with thesurface being broken up and trucked out.

The 131st South Dakota News-

paper Association convention wasApril 25-27 in Rapid City. Thisyear's convention was a first: a

joint meeting with members of theNorth Dakota Newspaper Associa-tion.

Steve Baker, publisher of theCapital Journal in Pierre, waselected president of South DakotaNewspaper Association during theassociations annual newspaper

convention, this year in Rapid City

April 25-27.Baker grew up in Minot, N.D. He

began his career in his hometownnewspaper working there from1979 until 1991. Baker has been apublisher for Ogden Newspapers inMinot, N.D., Lee Enterprises inBurley, Idaho, and Media News inRed Bluff, Calif. Baker returned tothe Dakotas in 2008 when he wasnamed the publisher of the Capital

Journal in Pierre. The Capital

Journal is owned by Wick Commu-nication, a family-owned mediacompany with holdings in severalstates.

Baker said one the focuses of histerm as president will be to con-tinue the work on open governmentissues including the publishing ofpublic notices. This is not just amedia issue; our readers need to beaware of the consequences of gov-ernment policing itself, Bakersaid. Freeman Courier PublisherTim Waltner said it best when hesaid there are three key aspects ofpublic notices: permanence, verifi-ability and independence.

Baker has also been an advocatefor the newspaper industry in theSouth Dakota Legislature. Duringthis year's legislative session,Baker testified on Senate Bill 119,which prohibits public schools fromentering into exclusive contracts

for news media coverage of inter-scholastic events such as footballand basketball games. The bill wasapproved by legislators and signedinto law by Governor Dennis Dau-gaard.

For several years, Dorothy and Bud Stickler, back row, have donated their timeand labor to clear away drink cans from the Philip Roping Arena after the annualmatched bronc ride. Now, with the aid of three youthful helpers from left Wyatt,Casey and Ashley they have donated the can tabs to a donation drive held bythe school. As seen on the sign, the count of the total number of the Stickler tabscomes to approximately 78,190. On behalf of Family, Career and CommunityLeaders of America, members Afton Burns and Katlin Knutson ran a tab collec-tion challenge. Kindergarten through 12th grade students and teachers com-

peted to see which class collected the most. All tabs will be donated to RonaldMcDonald House. Photo by Del Bartels

students. They are Tate DeJong,Shelby Schofield, Tara Cantrell,Samantha Huston, Peyton DeJongand Ashton Reedy. This program isin partnership with Family, Ca-reer, and Community Leaders of

America where teen teachers workwithin their community to carryout the 4-H curriculum and theSouth Dakota Discovery CentersHarvest of the Month curriculum.

With guidance from school teach-ers, FCCLA advisors and 4-H advi-sors, the students designed andpresented lessons that were in linewith South Dakota Health Educa-tion Standards. The teens alsowrote newsletters, did communityhealth challenges, did various eval-uations, and finished the programwith a five minute reflection video.

Upon completion of the program,each teen will have earned a $500scholarship to be deposited in aneducational account at the SouthDakota 4-H Foundation. The schol-arship can be used for post-sec-ondary education at a school of theteen's choice. The six were recog-nized and presented certificates oftheir scholarships at the StateFCCLA Convention.

With an intense, one day train-ing under their belts, the studentsprepared plans for at least eightlessons, each concerning nutritionand exercise. The teens, working inteams of two, had an average of 16elementary students per lesson. Itwas a lot more intense than I ex-pected, said Philip High Schoolsfamily and consumer sciences in-structor Brigitte Brucklacher.

Each lesson incorporated physi-cal activity, from running in circlesto high-five everyone, to stretchinglike animals. The elementary stu-dents tried healthy, and surpriz-ingly tasty, foods. They learnedabout germs, dancing, healthy pro-portions and harvest foods of themonth.

Lookin Around by Syd IwanIs it any wonder that Rome fell?

If they couldnt come up with a bet-ter numerical system than Romannumerals, what hope was there forthe empire? To me, anyway, this isthe most cumbersome and hopelesssystem imaginable. The currentyear, for example, is MMXIII.(M=1,000, X=10, I=1. Just addthem all up.) Son Chance was bornin MCMLXXXVI. By the way,C=100, L=50 and V=5. You alsohave to know that a smaller valuebefore a larger requires subtrac-tion so CM=900.

I see no reason to use Roman nu-merals since they are mostly usedto make you think the user islearned, I guess. What other rea-son could there be? If you look inthe front of many books to seewhen it was published, that datewill often be given with a string ofletters maybe starting with MCMor MM. Even the construction dateof many buildings is inscribed instone over doorways using Romannumerals. Oof!

This all came to mind the otherday when I encountered part of acomputer game where a clock usedRoman numerals. You were sup-posed to arrange the numbers onthe clock face correctly which isconfusing when you have to rotatethe clock to do it. IV and VI arehard to keep straight upside downas are XI and IX. Fortunately, if Idont feel like dealing with that, I

can wait about a minute until a lit-tle sign comes up asking me if Iwould like to skip that part of thegame. The skipping option fre-quently gets my vote.

It also occurred to me lately thatdoing math with Roman numeralsmust be fairly tricky. I looked it upon the Internet to see if it was evenpossible, and it is, but you probablydont want to know about it. It getscomplicated early on. The Romansused an abacus for knotty compu-tations, but that was no piece ofcake either. Its even worse thanalgebra by quite a bit.

I recently read a little quip thatwent, And then Satan said, Putthe alphabet in math. This wouldapply to algebra with its proverbialx and y and whatnot. Come tothink of it, I havent used any alge-bra recently or in fact for manyyears going back. Knowing algebra

is about as useful to me as knowingwhat year they signed the MagnaCarta. Algebra, however, is a piece

of cake compared to other forms ofmath such as differential equa-tions. I saw some textbook prob-lems on those last year andcouldnt make heads or tails ofthem. They not only used Englishletters, but also a few Greek onesplus symbols for square root, pi,and who knows what else. Itlooked totally incomprehensible atfirst glance and would probablystay that way even after manyglances for many of us. Luckily, Ican still balance my checkbookswithout using any form of ad-

vanced math.Some of this boils down to the

particular talents and abilities wehappen to have. I obviously am notgifted when it comes to math.Friend Loren, on the other hand,was the guy whose textbook on dif-ferential equations I happened tolook at last year. He appears to becomfortable with math and willgraduate with an engineering de-gree this week. Spelling, grammar,and English composition, though,are not his things. He gets by withthose, but they dont come natu-rally to him.

I, conversely, enjoy words andputting them together. SometimesI even get accused of using toomany big words. I read a quote re-cently where a fellow said, I loveusing big words to sound smart. Imean utilizing gargantuan idiomsto fabricate intelligence. Well, I

dont use vocabulary to soundsmart, but I happen to know cer-tain words that seem to convey ex-actly what Im trying to say andsometimes theyre big. As teachersmight say, If you dont know whata word means, you can always lookit up.

There used to be a commentatoron TV, William F. Buckley Jr., whoused so many huge words so oftenthat it could be difficult to figureout what on earth the man wastalking about. You couldnt look upthe words fast enough to makesense of what he was saying. Ill tryto avoid going that far, but an oc-casional difficult word may creepin.

By the way, if you were trying tofigure what year son Chance wasborn by the Roman numerals givenabove, it was 1986. See there. Isnt1986 a lot cleaner and nicer than

MCMLXXXVI? I hope to shout itis, or at least it is to me.

In good shape ? ... by Del Bartels An old axiom states that it is far easier to stay in shape than to get

back into shape. Ranchers and others who work hard for a living seem

to always be in good shape. I, on the other hand, am striving to simply

not go so soft as to not be able to stand against a light breeze. I have

been admonished that couch potato is not an olympic sport.

One week of getting ready for spring has convinced me that going

soft may not be all that bad. I dusted off an old treadmill and plugged

it in. Let it be a lesson, dont let your thumb touch the metal of the

plug-in as it enters the socket. After the tingling quit, I got on the con-

traption, feeling like a hamster in a wheel. It hummed and I had to

take a step, followed by another and yet another. I inched up the knob

to go a touch quicker. After a few minutes of gradually getting up to a

hard walk, I tapped it up to a beginning jog. The charley horse in my

calf came out of nowhere. Next thing I knew I was on the floor crum-

pled up against the far wall. My forearms had road rash from the tread,

and my wrist was losing circulation from the safety kill-cord looped

around it. Do all marathon runners start out this way?

Next day I tried a few stretches. It took me 10 attempted toe-touchesto reach the tops of my socks. I next tried a gentle split, gradually inch-

ing my feet farther and farther apart. Ive never had a charley horse

there before. I unplanted my face from the carpet and worked for an

hour in standing upright again. Next, I tried some jumping jacks. I was

just getting up to braggable speed when I instantly discovered that my

left hand was way too close to the bedroom doorknob. The bruise on

the back of that hand is now turning green and purple.

Next, trying sit-ups, I got in the center of the living room away from

everything that might hurt. I braced my feet under the front of the

couch for leverage, put my hands behind my head, and began. Boy, that

was working wonders and I soon began to feel the burn. Wisely, I de-

cided to not over do it. Besides, one is a good start. Next, I worked on

my biceps, which arent bad, by doing some curls. I whipped out a few,

but my left arm started complaining. No wonder; I had forgotten to

take my wrist watch off before the workout. Eventually I will add some

hand weights, starting out with rolls of bathroom paper.

I have to admit that the chin up bar was a real killer. I had forgotten

that it was initially set in the bedroom doorway at a height of five feet.

Rushing to answer the phone, I clotheslined myself. Needless to say,

the phone went unanswered. The back of my head still throbs from it

hitting the floor as I limboed like Jerry chasing Tom.

With good exercise should come eating healthy. I like to load up on

carbs, such as potato and tortilla chips. Eggs and milk are heavy in

protein, especially when baked into cakes and brownies. Scientists say

that red wine and dark chocolate actually have good health qualities,

such as antioxidants. Im stocked up for the next five years.

There Will Be Winter Wheat,But How Much?

Finally, after what we hope isthe last snowstorm of the season,temperatures have warmed andallowed the winter wheat to breakdormancy, or in some cases, germi-nate. In a quick windshield surveyon April 26, with a few stops tolook closer, and visiting with a fewproducers, it seems that some of

the winter wheat planted into lowresidue situations is up and can berowed in south-central SouthDakota, while others are more inquestion.

As temperatures warm over thenext few days, wheat that is alivewill grow rapidly and allow pro-ducers to assess its condition andtheir stands and make decisions.The general consensus is that win-ter wheat yields will be down, evenwith adequate stands, and plant-ing date studies would supportthat. Late/dormant planted winterwheat, which would be similar tomuch of the crop this year, hastypically yielded 20 to 30 percentless than wheat planted at the rec-ommended time in good condi-tions. The extent of the yield re-duction will depend heavily onmoisture and temperatures duringMay and June.

Some producers have reported

that spring wheat planted beforethe recent snow storms have al-ready sprouted and may be fartheralong than some of the winterwheat. That is also consistent withresearch comparisons as dormantplanted or early planted springwheat is often ahead of dormant/late-planted winter wheat.

The wheat crop, and other cropsfor that matter, is also in a tenu-

ous situation regarding soil mois-ture. Upon probing several fieldson April 26, moisture was founddown to about 12, below that itwas dry. Timely rains will beneeded for whatever crop isplanted to succeed.

To add insult to injury, striperust is reported to continue its de-velopment in southern states.Stripe rust was first reported inOklahoma on April 17, and on

April 26 was said to be more com-mon. Leaf rust was also first re-ported in Oklahoma on April 11,but hasnt developed to the extentof stripe rust.

With the early development ofleaf and stripe rust in southernstates and the South Dakotawheat crop significantly behind inprogress, rusts will have a muchlonger time period to infect thecrop than normal. Producers may

be faced with the decision as to ap-

plying fungicides or not. One of theimportant factors in making foliarfungicide application decisions isyield potential. Economic return tofoliar fungicides is often measuredin bushels, but if a yield increaseoccurs, it is typically a percentageof yield over an untreated check.The return on a field with 30Bu/acre yield potential would beexpected to be much less than a

field with 60 or more Bu/acre po-tential.

Every field may not have blankspots in them, but a quick surveyof fields on April 26 showed a num-ber with less than uniform stands.If that proves to be the case, weedcontrol may be an important issue.

Can you still plant springwheat? The latest recommendedseeding date is about May 10 toMay 15, moving from south tonorth. These dates can also be ap-plied to oats. The final plantingdate for spring wheat and oat cropinsurance is May 5 for the southhalf and May 15 for the north halfof South Dakota.

see the start of some run off andhope for the rains to come also.Green grass is starting to grow, sothings are looking pretty nicearound the countryside. Theyshopped in Philip and KadokaTuesday and Wednesday and whilethey were at a store in Kadoka, hada nice visit with Vi's cousin, ChadKaltenbach, from the Martin area.The Kaltenbach's have a daughtergraduating from Bennett HighSchool this year and a son gettingmarried at the Nemo, also in May,so a busy time for that little family.

Cathy Fiedler said they hadabout 10 inches of snow in theSturgis area from Monday untilThursday, then by Saturday thehigh temperature reached 72.

Wednesday, L.D. and ShirleyHair were back in Kadoka to burytheir little dog that had to be put tosleep. Tony Harty visited them

while they were in town.Wednesday, I went to Rapid and

took a drive in the Black Hills tocheck on campgrounds for a familyreunion in 2014 that niece DawnFairchild-Newsome is working atgetting set up. A favorite spot hassome issues to be ironed out, butlooks like a good spot for tourists tospend a lot of time seeing all kindsof things. Good luck Dawn! I thenended up in Sturgis for my flight

physical. Not many doctors givethese and since Dr. Mangulis quit,it has been a challenge to get onedone, and quite expensive. Thegood news is I passed. The badnews, I forgot to take along paperwork to get a physical taken care offor pending eye surgery, so Thurs-day while I was in Philip with theHCPT van, I got that physicaldone. Phyllis Word visited at ourplace in the afternoon.

Tony Harty did his usual Thurs-day, got mail and had coffee out,then stopped by our place for a visitand to let me beat him at farkel. Hewent to the track to watch theevents going on in the afternoon.

George Gittings attended funeralservices for June Wanczyk in WallThursday morning. Sympathy toJunes family, she was such a car-ing person.

Thursday morning, Ralph andCathy Fiedler headed to Philip intime to have lunch with her sister,Diana Stewart, at the caf. Whenarriving there, they were surprisedto see their nephew, Jeb Stewart,who was home for a few days to seehis parents, Richard and Diana,and to do some turkey hunting. Hedid get a turkey. After lunch, Ralphand Cathy went to the nursinghome for a very nice visit with hermom, Katy Drageset. Late in theafternoon, they said goodbye toKaty, stopped by the Stewart hometo see them for a few minutes, andheaded for Sturgis.

Don and Vi Moody went to Rapid

City Friday early to spend sometime at their Rapid Valley homeand keep an appointment then cel-ebrate Dons birthday by havingsupper out in Deadwood. They en-

joyed visiting with folks from RapidValley as well as Philip. There is aneat car that Vi almost won at oneof the hotel/casino complexes, butshe said it was still there whenthey left Deadwood, so will have toput her ticket in the drawing again.They checked out the shows for themonth of May. Vi said there may bea possibility, if all works out well,for reservations for a getaway.

Sandee Gittings went to RapidCity with Marlis Petersen andTena Slovek Friday afternoon.They met Brittney Drury in Rapidand bowled in the state tourna-ment. Sandee and Tena rode backto Philip with Brittney Saturday.

Saturday started the day asusual for Tony Harty, but he re-ceived the sad news that his sister,Theresa Hockenbary, Valentine,Neb., passed away that eveningafter a long battle with cancer. Heattended church in Philip in theevening. Our sympathy to the fam-ily and may many memories maketimes easier,

A call Saturday from Jean andJoe Montoya, Bills niece, from RioRancho, N.M., saying they wouldbe pulling into Kadoka for fuel andcould we meet them? We had anenjoyable visit while the pump wasrunning and then they were on theroad to Washington. Joe hauls over

the road, but they dont often get toSouth Dakota. After our visit, Billwas busy crawling around underand over his tryke trying to get theleft hand brake to work, new brakeshoes didnt do the trick but wereneeded. While searching for an an-swer, he discovered the brake linewas pinched off by the gas tank, offcame the tank then the search is onfor a new line that was a littlelonger. I went to Rapid to attend ababy shower for Cori Barber thather mom, Jo Ann Barber, had puttogether. I so wanted to be able toput the Stroll-O-Chair that Ivesaved for 52 years to good use, but

the buggy has become brittle withage so it sets in the shop ready forme to see what can be done with it.The story behind this wonderful setup was Shelley spent the first cou-ple of months of her life in a box inthe passenger seat beside me (inthis day and age, I may have beenreleased from prison by the timeshe was in school for child endan-germent). One day a salesman sawthis and sold us on the idea of thiswonderful contraption that usedfour main pieces, a set of wheelsthat folded down and fit in thetrunk so the baby buggy went froma car bed to a buggy in an instant.Then there was the chair that hada couple of metal pieces thatclipped over the back seat and youhad a car seat and stroller in an in-stant. That same chair fit onto atable and made a high chair whenyou didnt need it in the car. Then

when older it was a table and chairand a rocking chair. We set up pay-ments and in less time than ittakes to buy a car now, we ownedthis wonderful set up. Now, what todo with it! I dont dare gift it to anygreat-grandkids because now Iwould be stuck in jail for child en-dangerment and not get to havefun with the little ones. What todo? Anyway, I visited at the ZackSeager home after the shower andgot to see all the things going onwith them before heading home.

Jessica Gittings and Daniel hadsupper at the George Gittingshome Saturday evening to cele-brate Daniel's fourth birthday.Hard to believe that little guy is al-most ready for school.

Don and Vi Moody spent Sundayafternoon checking the stores atthe Rushmore Crossing area andgetting their car washed and all

those little details.Sunday afternoon, Don Klumb,Tessa, Hannah and Ayden arrivedin Sturgis at Ralph and CathyFiedlers so Don could go throughCathys computer. They stayed forsupper.

Tony Harty was out and aboutearly Sunday morning, visiting theHairs, who were in town briefly be-fore returning to Oelrichs for L.D.swork, swung by our place to wishus good traveling, then went to theHerber ranch because it wasbranding day there. He helped hissister-in-law, Barbara, in thekitchen getting things lined up forfeeding the big crew he estimatedaround 80 there for the feed. Sortof like counting cattle, he didnt geta good count, should have countedtheir legs and divided by two. TheWhite River was low enough thatthe cowboys and cowgirls could rideacross, with water only about to the

stirrups. For those who didnt wantto ride the horse, there was a boatand they could lead the horse overfor the branding that took place onthe south side of the river from themain headquarters. It is good to re-port there were no mishaps, no-body was injured by horse or cow,guess nobody vaccinated them-selves or got branded, so it was avery good day.

Richard and Beulah Nevillecalled to tell me of the loss of Beu-lahs brother, Lockett Hespe, Sat-urday night. Lockett and Pearleneand their son spent many yearscustom combining in the Milesville

area and also visited with themany former neighbors while inthe area. Cards can be sent to Pear-lene Hespe at P.O. Box 524, Weath-erford, OK, 73096. Sympathy to theHespe family. Services are Fridayin Oklahoma.

Sunday, Bill and I headed out inthe motorhome with the cat along

for some time with grandchildrenand great-grandchildren. The galeforce winds we drove in were notfor the faint of heart to handle thebig rig in. Bill did a wonderful job,and when we stopped for lunch inKimball we saw Michelle (Hansen)and husband, Jeff, and family. Ourprearranged camping in Madisonwas not so prearranged, someoneforgot to leave the gate open, butwe got situated in another placenot too far out of town and thendrove to the home of Carley andChase May where Amanda (May)Claflin, Harrisburg, was too. So wegot to spend a little time greeting

all them and getting little great-grandson Jaxon acquainted with ussince the commotion had him a l it-tle frightened. He did warm up tous as time went along. No matter how much we con-sume, we never get closer to happi-ness; we only speed up the tread-mill. James A Roberts

*** Saturday, April 20, at SomersetCourt, we had an appreciationbrunch for Somerset Court volun-teers. This would Amy Voles, per-sonal care attendant, our ministersand their wives and Women Who

Care, a singing group from NorthMaple Methodist Church. The ex-ercise room was set up with whitecovered tables for the party. SinceI was germy, I didnt hang aroundto see who came. But I trust it wasup to Somerset Courts high stan-dards of quality, and that therewas good attendance. I hope therewas a spokesperson to express thethanks of the residents for the kindwork of our volunteers. They makeour lives more interesting.

Saturday afternoon, the usualgroup got together for quilting.Sorry I was too germy to go. I missthat sewing session, and it doesnthappen very often. Besides the cut-ters and ironers and Annette at thesewing machine, there was a groupfor rummi-cube and a group forquiddler.

On Saturday afternoon, I re-ceived a birthday package from my

nephew, Leonard Meyer, and hiswife, Jean, Greenfield, Ind. Thank

you, Leonard and Jean. I was sur-prised to receive an early birthdaygift, as my birthday is not untilJune 21. But when I tell you whatthe present is, you will see that itis a good idea. We might be able tolearn to play the game of five-crowns by June 21. It looks a littlecomplex, but so did quiddler, andwe soon took up quiddler with agood following.

Our tiny seedlings are growingwonderfully. Residents stop byevery day to see how many morehave sprouted and how tall theyare. In my apartment, I have sixposts of airplane plants to give

away at the Special Olympicsfundraiser May 5. These also havea rosemary seed in each pot. Therosemary seeds havent sproutedyet. I will let you know when theycome up.

I was sorry to phone M.R.Hansen and tell him not to comefor scrabble. Pretty soon, I shouldthe antibiotic should have me inbetter shape. I barely crept aroundthree laps today.

Several visitors were noted:Irene Cox had her three great-grands, Hailey, Macey, and Bray-den. John Kraft and his brotherand wife were visiting MarcellaKraft. M.R. Hansen came for sup-per. Thanks for your visits.

I have a book of ideas for feelingbetter. Some suggestions are tosing. Singing brings more oxygeninto the body. Hence more energy.Walk. Walking is a great exercise

for building strength and stamina.Check your posture. Sit upstraight. Smile. It set your bodyinto a good mood, and helps thoseyou meet.

Quote from Helen Keller: Manypersons have a wrong idea of realhappiness. It is not obtainedthrough self-gratification, butthrough fidelity to a worthy pur-pose.

Here is a little verse: Let mework on lifes patchwork quilt,through rainy days and the sun.Trusting that when I have finishedmy block, the master will say, Welldone! Elizabeth Ryan DeCoursey

Ruthie and Marty Smith, Tabor,(Fred Smiths son and daughter-in-law) were here Monday for the fu-neral of Don Smith, Freds brother.My sympathy to the family andfriends. Some of you may remem-

ber Don. He lived at Somerset

Court for a while.The April 22, 2013, Rapid City

Journal had a photo of a big lime-stone slab with footprints of the di-nosaur therapod. It is on display atthe Journey Museum. It remindedme that one time in our family wehad a single dinosaur footprint ona slab of stone. I hope some familymember will tell me who has thestone now and where it was from.

The April 22, 2013, Rapid CityJournal had the obituary of June(Weller) Wanczyk, Wall, formerlyof Philip. My sympathy to familyand friends. June and her husband,Joe, ran the Senechal Hotel in

Philip and June had a beauty shopin the Senechal.

Thank you to my niece, Wanda,and her husband, Ed Artz, Hum-boldt who sent the dearest minia-ture red felt cowboy hat. Come andsee it at my apartment at SomersetCourt. Wanda mentioned their re-cent trip to De Smet, when theirniece, Karen Meyer, was visitingfrom Tacoma, Wash. They visitedour tree, a red maple, that weplanted in the year 2000, exactly100 years from the time my par-ents were married in the Kings-bury Co. Courthouse. The people inthe courthouse let them go andview the same courtroom where myparents were married in 1900.

Wayne Hansen came over to seehow I was feeling and brought abox of chocolates, which he says isgood medicine. Thank you, Wayne.Wayne said that Gwynn is due to

fly in Tuesday evening, but manyflights were delayed because of lim-ited airport personnel. They arebeing sequestered. Something likea bank holiday of old times, I think.

Nurse Becky is setting up a fol-low-up appointment for me withDr. Eaton for Wednesday, April 24.

Eileen Tenold told me that TerryPulse didnt come for church on

April 21. I will try to meet someonewho knows who was there.

Irene Cox had company for lunchApril 23, her son, Don Cox, and hiswife, Pam, from rural New Under-wood.

Happy birthday, Ray Kraemer.His birthday was April 23. Heturned 94. Staff members sang thehappy birthday song and presentedhim with an individual birthdaycake and a Somerset Court birth-day card and Somerset Courtbucks.

My daughter, Carol, is on mycase to get my hair fixed. And shehasnt even seen me. Carol pays tohave my hair fixed.

M.R. Hansen dropped in to bringa report by Tony Kulesa, studentleader, about the 2013, AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers RockyMountain Regional conference,hosted April 4-6, 2013, by UtahState University in Logan, Utah.The report tells about the placesearned by SDSM&T in the sevendivisions of competition. SDSM&Twas entered in the steel bridge,

concrete canoe, pre-design team,mystery design team, two papercompetitions (one not-technical andone a technical paper). Anothercontest is the can-struction. It is adetailed paper which I found to behighly interesting. There are pho-tos of the students who went toLogan and one of the tippy hippyconcrete canoe with its crew andone of the steel bridge crew. I willplace a copy of Tonys report on theSomerset Court front lobby coffeetable.

Thank you, Carol and Al Vogan,for the May 2013 Smithsonianmagazine. It has a fascinating arti-

cle about the microbes that live inthe human body.

Happy birthday, Floy Olson.Floys daughter, Marla Kendig,Northfield, Minn., came to see Floy

April 25.April 25, 2013, Gwynn Hansen

came over to see me. Thank you foryour visit, Gwynn. She had justflown back from their winter in theLos Angeles area. She was not loaf-ing all winter, because they wereremodeling a house in RanchoPalos Verdes to make it like theywanted. Since she has been back inRapid City, she has met with sev-eral of her quilter friends and theyhave a Project Warmth project inthe works. Their continuing projectis to make lap robes for charities.

Also, they are already revving upfor the big South Dakota quiltersguild quilt show in June. Gwynn

had volunteered to help with quiltappraisals at the quilt show. Hergrandchildren are four years oldnow. Owen is a crime fighter andElla likes the book Dora, the Ex-plorer.

My great-granddaughter, SarahButcher, writes that she would bestarted a new job. She expects tolike it really well. Gary is startinga new job, too, and Kelsie is seek-ing an internship to work on dur-ing the summer vacation from col-lege. It is spring there in Virginiaand Gwen and Sarah are thinkingof going to the tulip festival andbuying some bulbs for their door-

yard. Sarah likes to include memo-ries from childhood when theylived in Philip, and they wouldcome over to my house. To avoidsunburn, we would put a wet towelaround the backs of our necks. Shelikes to remember when we wouldmake stone soup and read the bookthat went with it. You go out in theyard and find a stone that looks

just right, (big as an egg for a reg-ular soup or bigger is you are mak-ing a lot). Wash the stone thor-oughly, and put it in a couple ofquarts of water and set it on thestove. Add a little salt. Then lookaround and see what you can findthat is good in a soup. I hope youcould find a potato and maybe anonion. A carrot would be nice. Someleft-over meat could be chopped upand added. Even rice could be usedin a pinch.

It is an absolutely beautiful daythis Monday morning. Too nice tobe sitting at the computer! But, itis Monday and you know what thatmeans, time to gather the MidlandNews for another week, so betterget with it. In calling different folksI did not find them home, so left amessage. Just between you andme, Im thinking they are out en-

joying this beautiful day. Or, somecould be working cattle its thattime of year. Whatever the case,hopefully they will give me a callback when they can. Speaking ofcattle, the baby calves are enjoyingthe warmer temperatures as much

as people are. And the birds, theyare just plum happy about thesewarmer temperatures. I lovespring, when you can open the win-dows and get some of that fresh air.

And with the windows open andthe train blowing its whistle whilerolling through town, in my mind,I picture that train rolling acrossthe South Dakota prairie. Springbrings new life with the birth ofthose baby calves, tulips pushingup through the ground, buds form-ing on the trees soon turning toleaves and those buds on the lilacbushes blooming into sweetsmelling flowers. Have you noticedhow people seem to perk up withspring in the air? Its just a wonder-ful time of the year! And though weare thankful for the moisture wehave gotten, the fact remains, moreis needed to keep that moisturealive. The pastures are slowly

greening up, as are lawns. A soak-ing rain would be just the ticket!

Tuesday, Jerry and I made atrip to Philip. We stopped in for avisit with Dolly Blucher at theSenechal Apartments. They reallyare nice apartments. Dolly says thefood is good, the people who workthere are nice, its within walkingdistance of the post office, the gro-cery store, and variety store, mak-ing it a nice place to live. Dolly doesa lot of crocheting, does beautifulwork, and shared some with me.Which I much appreciated! Asmany folks know, the Senechal hadbeen a hotel at one time, latermade into apartments. Well, fromthat visit with Dolly, then readingthe obituary of June (Weller)Wanczyk in the Pioneer Reviewlast week, and learning her dad,L.G. Weller, once owned theSenechal Hotel and later she and

her husband, and then quite by ac-cident learning of a fellow namedCaptain Senechal in the historybook, Prairie Progress in West

Central South Dakota, I got ex-cited. I never cease to be amazed athow one story leads to another andto another, and from there the jour-ney begins. And because of that, Ihave a tendency to jump in withboth feet. I need to do more re-search before moving forward withthis story. Makes me thankful onceagain for those history books oflocal history; without those booksthat history would be lost. Its timeto get at the local news for thisweek!

Reminder: The Midland Auxil-iary will be having a meetingThursday, May 2, at 7:00 p.m.

Trinity Lutheran is makingplans for their 100th anniversarycelebration on June 1, so be watch-ing for updates.

Charles and Geraldine Fenwick.He attended high school in Mid-land and graduated with the classof 1960. He later joined the Armyand was stationed in Germany dur-ing that time.

Maxine Jones went to the den-tist at Pierre last week and alsospent some time visiting nieceLaura Lee Nemec.

Jordyn Jones, one-year-olddaughter of Matthew and BriannaJones, had company for severaldays last week when her three yearold cousin, Jett Shaefer, Huron,visited while his mother was busywith her job. Maxine reports they

had a great time playing and see-ing the cattle and some of thespringtime action on the ranch.

Shorty and Maxine Jones at-tended the funeral for StephanieWilliams at Wall, last week. Shewas a wonderful person, daughter,student, athlete, wife, mother,teacher, coach and advisor who leftthis earth way too early, at only 37years, 9 months, and 27 days asstated in the program. She obvi-ously was a great mentor and in-spiration to many students, andyoung athletes, having begun achapter of Christian Athletes,among other giving things she didfor and with others.

Shorty and Maxine Jones joinedMatthew, Brianna, and Jordyn,and Nick and Sandy Feller forlunch at the home of Scott andJana Jones before attending theplay. Besides needing to get people

fed so they could attend the play,the lunch was in honor of little Jor-dyn's May 4 first birthday, whenher great-grandma Sandy will bevisiting her sisters out of state. Itwas a good practice session openinggifts ahead of the party next week-end!

Maxine attended all perform-ances of the play, and the rest ofthe family got in on one or more of

inches from their car. They hurriedand shut the door as things wereflying out of the garage. Reportswere Rapid City had 70 mile perhour wind that night. Jim figuredit had to have been blowing close tothat at Belle Fourche. No onewants, or needs, winds like that!

Jerry and I headed for MitchellSaturday, as our granddaughter,Laura, turned one year old on April24. Stephanie was having a birth-day party for Laura Saturday. Itmade it nice that her mom, Bar-bara, could also be there. Friendsof Christopher and Stephanieswere also there. Their daughter

babysits Laura every now andthen. Funny how those little onesenjoy the wrapping paper andboxes more then the presents. Sun-day everyone attended church andthen went out for breakfast beforewe headed home. The weather wasperfect!

Out of the mouths of babes fromJerrys Amish magazine: A womanwondered if her grandson hadlearned his colors yet, so she de-cided to test him. She would pointout something and ask what colorit was. He would tell her, and al-ways he was correct. But it wasfun, so they continued. At last heheaded for the door, saying sagely,Grandma, I think you should tryto figure out some of these your-self! Have a good day and a goodweek and continue to pray for thatmuch needed moisture.

It is Tuesday morning and timeto finish out my column. Did youhear that wind around 9:30 p.m., orso? My goodness it blew, didnt lastlong, but it had a punch to it. Ourson, Jim, called from Belle Fourchewondering if we had, had thatwind. He said it hit there around8:00 p.m. Carmen was working outback of their house clearing upsome flower beds when it hit. Theyheard this loud bang and in check-ing it out, found the wind hadblown a door off of a cupboard theyhave hanging on one of the walls intheir garage. It landed about six

I would like to go back to theJohn Cowen story, as HelenSorensen called and gave me somemore information about him. Sheand Morris were his neighbors formany years. She said there was atwo story house on a basement onthe place and it burnt down andJohn went somewhere and gotsome car doors. He put beamsacross the basement and then putthe car doors over it for a roof. Thenhe put sod over the top of them andfrom then on he lived in that base-ment. She also stated that he hadaccumulated a lot of goats and theywere loaded and were sent toChina.

She said John would leave to govisit his sister and he would bringhis revolver down for Morris tokeep for him and would come andpick it up when he returned. Shestated that it was a nice lookinggun with what looked like a pearlhandle. Helen said that it wasprobably the only valuable posses-sion he had. When he did comeover they would ask him to eatwith them and he really enjoyedhaving a meal with them.

Helen said she would be the onedesignated to take him to town ifhe would need a ride there forthings he needed.

John always had a lean-to builtonto his house where he kept hisanimals and it was believed that hedid this to get the heat from the an-imals that they gave off to keephim warm.

Marvin was down one day and he

said he remembered going over toJohns with Nels Carstensen andon the way over Nels told Marvinthat if John asked him to eat withhim just say we cant stay that longas we have to get back home. Onthe way home, Nels said you neverwant to eat there as you neverknow what you might be eating.

Donna Newman and Mike andDebbie Clements left Wednesday toattend Caleb Clements gradua-tion. They planned to get ready forhis reception and to also take inKenny and Erica Clements daugh-ter, Elliots, preschool programThursday.

After his graduation, Caleb willbe moving to Chamberlain wherehe has a job in the bank there. It isgreat that he has a job, as manygraduates are not fortunate enoughto find work.
