The Philip City Finance Officereceived a complaint Monday, May14, concerning the recycling dump-sters on the east end of Oak Street.Dumpster lids were open. Trashwas blowing into the neighboringyards around the recycling fenceand in the ditch behind the dump-sters.

Though the recycling dumpstersare regulated through the citysresidential garbage collection con-

tract, a portion of the problem ispeople are not using the bins prop-erly. Old garbage cans, pallets,household garbage, old motor oiland other items are being dumpedthere.

The dumpsters are supposed tobe emptied on a regular basis, ac-cording to the solid waste disposalcontract the city has with Heart-land Waste Management. The binsshould be emptied at least onceevery two weeks or at a minimumof once per month as required or asnecessary. If any non-recyclablematerials are in the dumpsters, theentire load of material will be re-

jected by places that normally ac-cept such loads.

This incident is not the first timethe city has had problems with therecycling dumpsters. The most re-cent problems began last fall andhave continued through the first

part of 2012.Deputy Finance Officer Brittany

Smith has visits with Toby andKent Mauck, owners of HeartlandWaste Management and theirgarbage truck employees on a reg-ular basis. According to Smith,Heartland has stated it is not ableto recycle the items because theRapid City Recycling Center hasbeen too full. In turn, Heartlandhas hired Waste Connections,

Rapid City and Wall, to take careof the recyclables with an agree-ment that they would be emptiedevery two weeks. Unfortunately,this has not always been the case,especially with the newspaper re-cycling dumpsters.

One option being looked into is toput locks on the lids of the dump-sters. The lids have access holesthat would have to suffice for anyrecyclable materials to fit if locksare installed. The situation wouldbe less of a problem if people wouldclose the lids and use the strapsavailable to secure the lids. Peopleshould not use the recycle dump-sters for non-recyclable materials.Only newspaper and cardboard areallowed in the recycling dumpsters.The Community Betterment Com-mittee also has a container for thecollection of aluminum cans.

Complaints over citysrecycling dumpsters

by Del BartelsMembers of the Haakon School

District and the Wall School Dis-trict boards of education met inPhilip, Wednesday, May 16, to dis-cuss finances, politics and otherconcerns.

Wade Pogany, executive directorof the Associated School Boards ofSouth Dakota, headed the informa-tional meeting. My goal is to get a

discussion going among boardmembers; info gathering on think-ing by board members and think-ing out west here, said Pogany.

The ASBSD is putting its influ-ence in support of the upcomingInitiated Measure 15, which wouldincrease state general sales anduse taxes for additional kinder-garten through 12 public educationand Medicaid funding. As prop-erty tax keeps moving, at somepoint people say No more,saidPogany. Its creating an inequityissue have and have nots a realdisparity. An opt-out is easier saidthan done. Would you rather haveproperty taxes increase and spreadover the state, or have a sales taxincrease?

Mark Nelson, Haakon SchoolDistrict board member, said he hadbeen talked to by local taxpayers. Ifa sales tax goes through, then will

an opt-out also be asked for?Pogany estimated that theamount of funds from Measure 15would be approximately $700 perenrolled student. You are trying tokeep the cuts as minimal as possi-ble, trying to do everything you cannot to hurt the children. Whatcould you do with $700 per kid; nota wish list but a have to? Right nowwe are in survival mode. Theschools in the state are so far in thehole we cant do things that areneeded by the students, saidPogany.

Pogany said that the funds fromMeasure 15 have no strings at-tached. The measure does not af-fect higher education, justkindergarten through 12th grade.It does have Medicaid on board;pooled together, to work together toleverage together for a sharedneed.

Vonda Hamill, Haakon School

District board member, said, Peo-ple really need to know this is notlike the gambling money. It willcome to the schools.

Anita Peterson, Haakon SchoolDistrict board member, said, Somepeople are saying this is helpingthe legislators out. They dont haveto raise taxes, the vote will. Peter-son is on the 18-member board ofdirectors of the ASBSD.

I know this will help balance usout, said Dennis Rieckman, Wall

superintendent. Its been cut, cut,cut. Weve never been able to lookto the future with money. Poganyagreed, Many school districts saidat least the first two years would beneeded to get them out of the hole.

Hamill said, I agree, a lot of thementality is the state has to pro-vide for an adequate education.That depends on what you think isadequate.

Nelson said, A lot of our youngerteachers with no real ties to thecommunity get three or four yearsexperience, then move to a differ-ent state that pays a lot more.

The ASBSD addresses other leg-islative issues. Todd Trask, WallSchool District board member,wants the ASBSD to back legisla-tion that goes for local control,with some teeth in it. Trask wouldlike school and public lands moneyto stay in the county where theland is. He would like Payments in

Lieu of Taxes (PILT) funds fed-eral payments to local governmentsthat help offset losses in propertytaxes due to nontaxable federallands within their boundaries) thatgoes to counties to be split someway with schools. Pogany said,But then youre taking from otherentities. That would be a hard hillto die on in a battle with countycommissioners.

Nelson said, Some people likethe merit pay, but that puts a

tremendous burden on our admin-istrative staff. Hamill agreed, Itwouldnt change our good qualityone iota, so why put our teachers incontention with each other?

Rieckman believes other govern-ment agencies are stretching theDepartment of Education too far.

Pogany summarized various at-tempts over the years to get a fi-nancial accountability bill passed.Its a matter of trust. We haveelected school boards, open meet-ings, transparency let them(school boards) do their jobs.

On a different legal topic, Poganywarned the audience that sextingis now considered a criminal of-fense, even for minors. How willschool boards handle the issuewhen it comes up? Also, thoughmost school districts have anti-bul-lying policies, they should checkthe wording to align more closelywith state requirements.

Gardening woes ... by Del Bartels Im not much of a gardener, but I have learned through experience

some hard lessons. For starters, seed catalogs deceive. If a catalog

states something is a favorite of birds, it really means for you to not

plant that something near cars, sidewalks or patios. Grows increas-

ingly beautiful each year translates to Looks like road kill for several

seasons. May require support means all the needed supports will ac-

tually hide the plants. Moisture-loving plants are perfect ... if you

have a mud-bog or swamp. Vigorous in dry weather actually means

its a relative to Canadian thistle. Carefree refers to the plants atti-

tude rather than to your workload. Vigorous is a code term for world-

dominating weed. Grandmas favorite is a counter-advertisement to

free-flowering, disease-resistant, hardier hybrids.

If working with soil is supposed to be good, why do private investi-

gators dig up the dirt on someone? Cutting the grass does not greatly

mowtivate me. My new weed whacker is so highly designed that it is

cutting-hedge technology. If good gardeners are a grass-root version of

plant managers, then Im lower than entry-level. Im so cheap that I

cant experiment with different plants ... I havent botany. Is working

too many hours in the garden considered over-thyme? I do like the

math involved in gardening: divide the circumference of a pumpkin by

its diameter and you get pumpkin pi.I guess gardening together could be a bit romantic. If you carrot all

for her, she makes your heart beet. Shes cute, with her turnip nose

and radish face. Shes a real peach, a sweet tomato. Weed make a swell

pear. Lettuce marry very soon, but we cantaloupe.

Gardening can also be a bit disgusting. A really involved gardner is

less concerned with global warming than with global worming. Wash

all vegetables, you dont know where theyve bean. Beware the pea, and

especially the natural fertilizer. Gardeners do know that soil supple-

ments have hazard and poison warnings on the labels? If a woman is

a Pisces (water-sign) and a man is a Taurus (earth-sign) then is their

relationship destined to be mud?

Gardening can have a fantasy aspect. You need rose-colored glasses

and odd herbs to understand the song Scarborough Fair with its line

parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Some plant names cant be pro-

nounced except by sorcerers. Beware, the only people who really believe

in garden gnomes are the survivors. My own garden, with its weeds

and thorns, could be the evil land of Mordor out of Lord of the Rings.

Who hasnt been annoyed by (1) being suckered into being on Facebook,

and (2) having someone else want to play Farmville?

Supposedly gardens can be profitable. Everybody wants to harvest a

little more lettuce, or own a money tree. Be sure to plant goldenrods.

An experienced gardener suggested for me to raise a garden for fun

and profit. He obviously dont know me well, because neither applies.

I am writing to encourage every-one to take time Memorial Day toremember to give thanks to ourwar dead and wounded veterans.The greatest casualty is forgettingthe War Dead ever existed. Manydied before they were married andhad children so we dont see theirchildren or grandchildren in ourschools and social events.

As we attend Memorial Day pro-grams and later family or commu-

nity potlucks or picnics, we mighthear an older person say, he was afine young man. but he never cameback. I hope people ask, What washis/her name, who were/are hisparents and where was he/she laidto rest? I commend Philip for theirLiving Memorial. The plaques andevergreen trees bordered withwhite fence are very noticeable and

make it convenient for people towalk among our local heroes mark-ers.

I feel it is bad form to blow yourown horn, and most deserving vet-erans are either unable to do so be-cause they were killed in action orwounded, and they just shrug it offas being part of their duty. Manybrave veterans have come homewith physical or emotional scarsthat affect them for life. I can think

of two schoolmates of mine whodied recently in their 60s whoserved in Vietnam and were ex-posed to Agent Orange.

Lets take time to repeat theirnames and say thanks for servingour great nation. We will continueto be free only so long as we havethe brave to guarantee it.

by Del BartelsI found medicine intriguing, and

had a desire to help people to behealthy, stay healthy and have a

healthy life style, said TandisHoffman.

Hoffman began working atPhilip Health Services, Inc., May14, through not only a rotation pro-gram, but also a Rural Experiencefor Health Professions Studentsprogram out of the University ofSouth Dakota, Yankton.

According to Yankton Rural AreaHealth Education Center informa-tion, the REHPS program is to in-crease the number of physicians,physician assistants, certifiednurse practitioners and pharma-cists who practice in rural andfrontier communities of SouthDakota. Relationships are to beformed between students and com-munities who mutually agree tosupport each other. Under thesetwo programs, the practical hands-on training to be a physicians assis-tant will also include disaster

preparedness training.

Though under the main supervi-sion of PA Terry Henrie, I followDr. (Coen) Klopper and Janell Ger-bering and, if opportunity arises,Ill follow Dr. (Dave) Holman too.Today, Ill follow gals in the lab andsee all the blood work stuff. Ivebeen in the emergency room, andIll see more of that Im sure, saidHoffman, who will be at PHSI forsix weeks before her eventual De-cember graduation as a phyiciansassistant from University of SouthDakota. Ill take my certificationtest in January to be PA certified,and a that point I can practice.

My original plan was to go tonursing school. A couple years intothat, thats not quite the directionI wanted to go. Went into cardio-vascular ultrasound; I loved it, didit for 13 years. I worked with physi-cians, PAs, nurse practioners and

how they worked with patients, di-agnose and treat patients. As Iwatched them work, I really couldsee myself in the same position. Isaw other aspects of the medicalfield, and was pulled to being aprovider, said Hoffman.

I had a choice and I chosePhilip. Mainly I wanted to workWest River. Philip would exposeme to how it is on the west side ofthe state there are differences and the individuals in the commu-nies, said Hoffman. Its nice andquiet; so far I dont see anythingother than that.

The worse thing? Well, I cantcome up with something. The bestthing is everyone Ive come in con-tact with community, patients, orindividuals in the clinic is wel-coming, friendly. Everyone hasmade me feel so comfortable, likeIve been a Philip resident forever,

said Hoffman.

Jim Abdnor died at the age of 89in Sioux Falls, Wednesday, May16, of natural causes.

Abdnor was a former teacher,coach and World War II U.S. Armyveteran. He worked his way to thestate legislature, eventually be-coming the South Dakotas lieu-tenant governor. He was voted intothe United States Congress, wherehe served on the Senate Appropri-ations Committee. When Abdnor

lost his Senate seat, PresidentRonald Reagan appointed him ashead of the United States SmallBusiness Administration, a post heheld for two years.

Abdnor moved from Rapid Cityto a retirement facility in SiouxFalls in 2003. He moved to assistedliving in late 2010.

Abdnor was born in 1923. In1945, he received a bachelor's de-gree in business administrationfrom the University of Nebraska.He taught school at Kennebec andPresho. He then became a farmer.He served in the U.S. Army duringWorld War II.

In 1956, he was elected to theSouth Dakota Senate, where heserved six terms. In 1968, he waselected lieutenant governor, fillingthat position until 1971. Abdnornever married.

Senator John Thune stated,Everything I know about politicsthat is good I learned from Jim

Abdnor. He was a hardworking andeffective fighter for South Dakota,and one of the most decent andgenuine people to ever hold electiveoffice. I came to know Jim through

our mutual love of sports and havebeen blessed to have him as a men-tor and a role model. Kimberleyand I and our daughters, who Jimtreated as his own, will always re-member Jims friendship and men-toring and his boundless love forSouth Dakota. He was a mentorand a friend and I will miss himgreatly. Thune gave the eulogy at

Abdnors funeral.South Dakota Democratic Party

Chairman Ben Nesselhuf stated,

Senator Jim Abdnor dedicated hislife to our state and South Dakotais forever indebted to him. Ourthoughts and prayers are with hisfamily and friends.

United States Senator Tim John-son (D-SD) stated, Jim worked

very hard over the years to servethe people of South Dakota. Hispassion for public service was in-spiring to me and countless othersin our state. My thoughts andprayers are with Jims friends andfamily.

Secretary of State Jason Gantstated, Our hearts go out to thefamily and close friends of Senator

Abdnor. His entire life was devotedto serving the people of our state,

and most importantly, mentoringmany young people, most of whichare still involved in South Dakotapolitics. One of the things I remem-ber the most about Jim was his un-canny memory when it came toremembering your name. No mat-ter how much time had passed, heinstantly remembered you, andparticular facts about you. I thinkthat says a lot about why he wassuch a giant in our state. His beinga South Dakota leader wasntabout an ego, or self interest. It wasabout serving others. And when heacted, you knew he cared for eachand every person in our state.

In 1993, Abdnor donated his con-gressional papers to the State His-torical Society-Archives at theCultural Heritage Center in Pierre.The Abdnor collection consists ofhis official correspondence, news-paper clippings, photographs,audio and video recordings,speeches and other records docu-menting his time as a U.S. Senatorand as head of the U.S. Small busi-ness Administration. A researchroom in the State Archives, calledThe Abdnor Room, contains Abd-nor memorabilia.

Abdnor, born and raised in Ken-nebec, began a long and distin-guished political career with hisinvolvement in the South Dakota

Governor Dennis Daugaard isasking motorists to be extra cau-tious on South Dakota highwaysduring the upcoming MemorialDay weekend.

South Dakota highways havebeen fatality free during this three-day holiday weekend the last twoyears. In 2011, however, 30 peoplewere injured in 123 crashes. Eightof those crashes were alcohol re-lated, according to statistics fromthe State Office of Highway Safety.

Memorial Day weekend is thekickoff for the summer travel sea-son, and highways will almost cer-tainly be busier than usual with

many families traveling during theholiday period, Gov. Daugaardsaid. I hope everyone has a great

time with family and friends.Please make safe choices as youtravel, and please follow trafficlaws that are in place to help keepall of us safe.

The governor encourages driversto:

Follow speed limits. It is notsafe to travel faster than postedspeed limits.

Wear a seatbelt. The Office ofHighway Safety slogan is Some-one needs you. Buckle up.

Avoid drinking and driving.Avoid distractions.Slow down through construc-

tion zones, not only because fines

are double in those zones but alsofor your own safety and the safetyof highway workers.

Governor Daugaard urges safetravel for Memorial Day weekend

A group of South Dakota News-paper Association editors met withstate court officials in Pierre, May14, to discuss issues related tonewsgathering in the courts sys-tem.

It was a good, productive two-hour meeting, stated David Bor-dewyk, general manager of SDNA.Among other things, our membersstressed the difficulties getting ac-cess to court records and doingrecords searches, especially whenthe courts require a date of birthassociated with the name beingsearched or a court case number.

Most importantly, we empha-sized the need for ongoing meet-ings with Unified Justice Systemofficials, especially as their newdigital records system is put inplace. (Patricia) Duggan and (Greg)

Sattizahn agreed that regularmeetings with SDNA memberswould be beneficial.

Court officials discussed the roll-out of a new digital court recordsmanagement system. By next yearthey want to have all clerks ofcourts offices across the state usingthe digital records system. Eventu-ally, all court records will be keptand shared digitally, replacing thecurrent system of paper and filecabinets.

Among the SDNA representa-tives at the meeting were Bor-dewyk and Argus Leader EditorMaricarrol Kueter. Kueter chairsthe SDNA First Amendment Com-mittee. Representing the UJS wereState Courts Administrator Dug-gan and Director of Policy andLegal Services Sattizahn.

SATAN AND THE TRUTHby Cornelius R. Stam

Many Christians are satisfied with salvation through the blood of Christ, but God wants us to have much more thanthis. He wants us to have "the full assurance of understanding" (Col. 2:2), to know the security, the blessedness, theglory of a position in Christ. He wants us to know "the exceeding riches of His grace" (Eph. 2:7), and to enjoy "all spiritualblessings in heavenly places in Christ" (Eph. 1:3).

But Satan does not!For proclaiming these glorious truths the Apostle Paul was bitterly opposed on every hand, even by some saved re-

ligious leaders of his day.And Satan has not changed!Proclaim this message today and "your adversary the devil" will soon be roused to action. He hates this message of

grace which the glorified Lord revealed through Paul (Eph. 3:1-3) and let us not be asleep to the fact that, as in Paul'sday, he will again seek to use even saved religious leaders, evangelical "big guns," if he can, to oppose it, thus robbingChrist of His glory and believers of their blessings.

Some of our Two Minutes articles were written many years ago by Pastor C. R. Stam for publication in newspapers. When many of thesearticles were later compiled in book form, Pastor Stam wrote this word of explanation in the Preface:

"It should be borne in mind that the newspaper column, Two Minutes With the Bible, has now been published for many years, so that local,national and international events are discussed as if they occurred only recently. Rather than rewrite or date such articles, we have left them

just as they were when first published. This, we felt, would add to the interest, especially since our readers understand that they first appearedas newspaper articles."

We hope that you'll agree that while some of the references in these articles are dated, the spiritual truths taught therein are timeless.

Robert J. Bob Schnyder, Jr.______________________

Robert John Bob Schnyder,

Jr., the husband for nearly 48years of former Philip resident,

Alice Janet Minard, has died inCalifornia. He was 87.

Born January 8, 1925, in NewOrleans, La., Bob grew up lovingall kinds of sporting contests andwould hop on his bike and ridearound his area of the city until hefound a game to play in. He becamea student of many sports; and hisenthusiasm, dedication, and natu-ral athletic ability led to his win-ning awards and championships asa player in high school and college,and later, as a coach.

Bob also loved animals. In lateryears, his and Janets home be-came an adoptive home for manystray cats from Aloysius to TheMidnight Cowboy. Two cats TheSundance Cat and Sparky evenmade trips to Philip!

World War II was in full gear

when Bob volunteered for induc-tion into the U.S. Army, servingfrom March of 1943 to March of1946. He was in various specialprograms in the army until his out-fit was called into action. In Sep-tember of 1944, he found himselfon some of the same French terrainthe Allied invasion forces hadlanded on three months earlier.

After his discharge from thearmy, he took advantage of the in-credible opportunity provided bythe G.I. Bill and pursued his ath-letic and academic career at whatnow is Illinois State University. Onthe athletic fields he was known asBayou Bob! Inside the class-

rooms, he studied the biological sci-ences, eventually writing his mas-ters thesis about water pollutionhe and his students discovered inthe town where he first was teach-ing.

After teaching in Illinois for fouryears later, he and his wife andchildren moved to southern Califor-nia where he taught for 32 years atSouth Gate Senior High School inthe Los Angeles Unified SchoolDistrict. He taught biology andhealth and coached football andbaseball.

It was at South Gate where,after the dissolution of his firstmarriage, he met Janet Minard,who had just arrived to begin herteaching duties in September,1963. Married in August of 1964,they both continued their teachingcareers at South Gate for manyyears.

During these years, they spentmuch time in Philip during theirsummer vacations. Bob, who hadpreviously considered golf to be akind of silly game, little by littletook up the sport; and with thehelp of his father-in-law, George,with his own natural ability, andwith easy access to a prairiecourse, he became a pretty fairgolfer.

At his home in Buena Park, hebecame a great grower of vegeta-bles especially eggplant, zucchiniand luscious tomatoes. He taughthimself to paint pictures land-scapes, primarily, with both oilsand acrylics. Many are on the wallsof his home.

After he retired from teaching in1987, he was plagued with os-

teoarthritis, especially in the hipsand back. This slowed him down

somewhat, but the stroke he suf-fered a few days after back surgeryin 1999, brought his golf playingdays, as well as gardening andpainting activities, to an end.

Bob and Janet were avid moviewatchers, especially old movies,and in recent years assembledquite a comprehensive collection ofvintage films, thanks to the mod-ern miracles of VHS and DVD.

After suffering from two morestrokes the last two months, hisbody was finished, even though hisspirit of feistiness remained untilalmost the very end. His family isthankful that when his death wasimminent, it came swiftly andpeacefully on February 20, 2012.

Bob was preceded in death byhis parents, Robert, Sr. andLoretta, and his sons, Jeffrey andKurt.

In addition to his wife Janet, hissurvivors include his daughter,Lindsay Schnyder of Ft. Myers,Fla.; her two daughters, Skylar andStory Sandman; his daughter, LisaPeterson of Duvall, Wash.; his sis-ter, Ruth Masakowski of New Or-leans; his sister-in-law, JulieMinard of Long Beach, Calif.; andhis many nieces and nephews.

An informal gathering will beheld 11:00 a.m. Friday, June 1, atthe Midland Cemetery, whereBobs cremated remains will beburied, and will join his in-laws,George and Vivian Minard, andGeorges parents, Dr. Ralph W. Mi-nard and Alice Walker MinardChase.

Arrangements are with theRush Funeral Home of Philip.

In last weeks column, I men-tioned the need for rain! That muchneeded rain came along with somestrong winds and some pea-sizedhail. We missed out on all of that aswe were out of town for a gradua-tion. Heard tell Jerry Nemecs farmmade it on Facebook as it told ofwater running over the road at the

DeYoung place! When we got homewe took a drive out to the farm andsure enough you could see wherethe water had run over the roadwith water standing in one of thefields and ducks enjoying a swim.Water had even run over the roada little ways up the hill to the west,so water and wind must have beenrather active to be sure. Our raingauge showed two inches and 10-hundredths or so, but our raingauge is rather narrow and withthe wind blowing like it was it maynot have caught all of the rain.From the looks of things we musthave gotten some pea-sided hail,too. But we are thankful for therain! We had an inch of rain intown!

I am hesitating a bit in writingthe news for the paper this weekafter some hic-ups in last weekscolumn. Im thinking AshelySchofield was a bit surprised tolearn that her name was no longerSchofield but Sheffield? Where didthat name come from? Im think-ing, I dont even know an AshleySheffield? Just between you andme, Im thinking someone or some-thing was messing with my fingersthat day! Because you see, I wasntdone messing up in that particularparagraph. I had written Ashleywas a fill-in teacher at the Kadokaschool for a lady who was on matu-rity leave. It should have been ma-ternity leave but you do needsome maturity when having ababy, dont you think? Okay,enough said, it is time to see whatI can come up with for this week!

High school graduations wereeverywhere this past weekend! Wewere in Belle Fourche for the grad-uation of our granddaughter, KaylaNemec, daughter of Jim and Car-men Nemec. There were 82 gradu-

ates in Kaylas class and familywas just plain proud of her as shewas valedictorian of her class.

Kayla will be going to the School ofMines in Rapid City in the fall. An-drea Christine Schaeuffelen of Ger-many was an exchange student atBelle Fourche this past school yearand graduated with the class of2012. They do something special atthe Belle Fourche graduation forforeign exchange students. Thefolded American Flag is passedfrom senior to senior with one handon top of the flag and one below theflag before being presented to theforeign exchange student. I have tosay it is a most moving experienceas you watch that flag being rever-ently passed from senior to senior.

Beth Bowen, Denver, Colo., camehome for her sisters graduation asdid Joanna Nemec from School ofMines in Rapid City. Joanna isplanning on working at the KadokaNursing Home this summer. AndKayla will continue to work at acouple of businesses she worked atlast summer and during her senioryear of school. Others from our sideof the family there were April andMiranda Meeker, Spearfish, Stevewas unable to come due to othercommitments, Charlene Nemec,Bismarck, N.D., and Jerry and my-self. Christopher was at Navy Re-serves in Washington state. Whilethere, he got together with JacobNemec, our grandson, who is in theNavy and stationed there. Christo-pher and Stephanie and babyLaura are planning on going toBelle Fourche and Spearfish inearly June, giving everyone a

chance to see Laura. Les and Jo-lene will be coming at the end ofJune. So, you get-together whenyou can! Jim and Carmen had anice reception of barbeque beef, sal-ads and cake at their home follow-ing graduation.

Our daughter-in-law, Stephanie,took her mom, Barbara vanOorschot, to the Sioux Falls airportthis Monday as her three weekswere up and it was time to go backto her home in Kevelaer, Germany.Stephanie said it was hard for hermom to leave that grandbaby, butknowing that she and Josef wouldbe coming back in Novemberhelped. Its a long distance fromGermany to South Dakota. But, Ialso know they are the kinds ofpeople who will make the best of it.

Jared Standiford is spendingtime with his dad, Ken Standiford,as he has some leave time from the

Navy before eventually heading forNew York. It was good to see himand have a chance to visit and to

catch up on things. Jared andJason used to spend a lot of time atour house when they and Christo-pher were in school.

Barbara and Morris Jones at-tended the Midland pre-schoolgraduation to see their grand-daughter, Josie Jones, graduate atthe Midland School Monday, May14. Josie is the daughter of Jon andJennifer Jones. The children wereanxious to show the things theylearned this year. Scotti Block wastheir teacher. Barbara went to seethe kindergarten graduation andprogram in Philip the followingMonday. Grandson Jess Jones was

a part of the program. Followingthe program, a potluck lunch wasserved to guests, food provided bythe childrens parents. Jess is theson of Jon and Jennifer Jones!

Thursday, Audrey Jones went toKadoka to watch her grandchil-dren, Brandon and Destiny Dale,at their regional track meet. Theyboth did well, with Destiny makingit to state. At the state track meetin Rapid City this week, Destinywill be running in two relays forthe Kadoka Area team. Wish youwell at the state track meet Des-tiny!

Mathew and Brianna Jones arefirst-time parents with the birth ofa baby daughter, Jordyn ElizabethJones, born on May 5, 2012, weigh-ing 7 lbs. and 8 oz. and 20-1/2inches long. Little Jordyn made fora number of firsts, as she is thefirst grandchild for Scott and JanaJones, the first great-grandchild forShorty and Maxine Jones, and thefirst great-grandchild for Nick andSandy Feller, Wall.Congratula-

tions to Mathew and Brianna andto all of those grandparents andgreat-grandparents. Babies are

just plain special!Shorty and Maxine Jones drove

to Bellevue, Neb., May 9 for thegraduation of their granddaughter,Carly Marie Smith, on May 10.They all attended church atThanks Giving Lutheran on Sun-day morning where the bell choirand a cello player provided specialmusic for Mothers Day.

Joneses and Smiths joined thefamily of Shelley and Jon Iversenat the home in Papillion, Neb., fora special dinner to celebrate grad-uations and Mothers Day. Twins,Eli and Grace Iversen, graduatedfrom home school on Saturday.They have been accepted atSDSM&T in Rapid City for the fallterm. Shelley's mother, MarilynOlson, Bowman, N.D., was a guestof the Iversens. The Jones andOlson families (originally of Lud-low, S.D.) have a five generation

friendship, but Marilyn and Shortyand Maxine had not seen one an-other for 15 to 20 years, so it was avery special time of rememberingdeparted family members and oldfriends in South Dakota. Shelleyand Nancy met only because theirchildren were in Sunday school to-gether and wanted the families toget acquainted. It took a little vis-iting and calls home to figure outthat they had been to the same cat-tlemen meetings with their parentswhen too young and shy to get ac-quainted with one another. Now,the ladies are in church choir to-gether and their families fre-quently celebrate events together.Those multi-generational friend-ships are pretty special, several ofthem within the Midland area.

Sunday evening, Shorty, Maxine,Don, Nancy, and Carly drove toLincoln to see the apartment Kim-

berley Smith and her school friend,Jessica, are sharing this year. Theyshould be very comfortable there,with nice parks nearby and rea-sonable distances to work andschool for both girls. After supperat a nearby mall restaurant, thetravelers returned to Bellevue.

Shorty and Maxine returned homeMonday, stopping at a farm nearDavis to see a horse Shorty bought

on an Internet sale on Saturday af-ternoon. The seller offered to de-liver it since he was going out byQuinn to help at a branding. He isa horse chiropractor, so worked ona couple of other horses for Joneseswhen he delivered the new horse.

Shorty and Maxine also drove upto Dell Rapids on the way homeMonday to visit with Myron andMargaret Joneson at the nursinghome. Both were feeling well andwe all had a good visit. It was a lit-tle livelier because Myron called amutual friend, Brian Burkhart,who came to the home for a shortvisit. An uncle of another friendfrom that area, Mike Smith, is alsoin the nursing home and came byto visit with the group in Myrons'room. That's good therapy for anolder, ailing farmer who wishes hecould still be out with his horsesand farm work. He still is an enter-

taining, interesting visitor and itsa pleasure to visit every chance wehave.

Shorty and Maxine discoveredsome damage on part of the ranchnorth of Kadoka where wind last

Friday night blew over some corralpanels, damaging some of them.The rain was welcome, and oursympathies go to those who had farworse damage to homes and busi-nesses.

Randy and Holly Nemec flew toKansas Friday to surprise Daylinand Cindy Morrison Guipre forDaylin's high school graduation.Bryan Guipre set everything up forthem to pull off the surprise. Theyreturned home late Sunday night.

It is time to close my news col-umn this Tuesday as Jerry and Iare heading up to Deep Creek todecorate graves. Tried getting holdof people, but didnt find them athome! Sounds like we could be infor some hot temperatures andwind and possible chance of stormyweather later on! Hopefully, theweather wont get too bad! I dontcare for those summer storms. But

then, I guess nobody does! Takecare and keep safe!

To show appreciation for thosewho serve in the United States mil-itary, as of May 19 Armed ForcesDay the National Park Servicebegan issuing annual free entrancepasses to all 397 national parks foractive duty military members andtheir dependents.

This military version of theAmerica the Beautiful NationalParks and Federal RecreationalLands Pass also permits free en-trance to sites managed by the

United States Fish and WildlifeService, the Bureau of Land Man-agement, the Bureau of Reclama-tion, and the United States ForestService. The pass is also availableat these locations. They must showa current, valid military identifica-tion card.

Eric Brunnemans, superintend-ent for Badlands National Park,said, We honor the sacrifices ourwarriors and their families havemade to this country. I know a visitto the Badlands can bring peaceand happiness when we need it themost.

Visitors are encouraged to attendone of the daily ranger programsoffered May 29 through September

10. Fossils talks and junior rangerprograms are especially popular forfamilies with children. The nightsky program is a must-see and isheld Friday through Monday afterthe 9:00 p.m. evening ranger pro-gram in the Cedar Pass camp-ground. For more information, seewww.nps.gov/badl.

Minuteman Missile NationalHistoric Site does not charge an en-trance fee, so passes are not re-quired but can be picked up at the

Greetings from our little cornerof the world northeast HaakonCounty! This news is being writtenMonday evening, and it is coolingoff with a light breeze. It was oneof those days here that make youglad you don't live anywhere else!Beautiful! The inch of rain we re-ceived Friday night was sure ablessing the crops, pastures,

yards and gardens all benefited,and I know the rain certainly im-proved the attitudes around thecommunity. We were getting prettydry here. More rain is expectedlater in the week, and every dropwill be welcome. While we enjoyedsuch a nice rain Friday, folks in theKadoka area weren't quite solucky. They had hard rain thatcame sideways because of thestrong winds which took roofs offbuildings, toppled trees, and gener-ally caused damage. I also talked tosome friends who had quite a bit ofhail damage in some pastures andalfalfa fields. They are hoping thehail killed some of the grasshop-pers it sounds like they havequite an infestation starting.

Graduations, receptions, brand-ings, family and friends, seemed tobe the theme in our communitythis past week. Congratulations toall the graduates now on to thenext exciting chapters in your lives.The possibilities are endless!

Jon and Connie Johnson have agraduate at their house congrat-ulations to their son, Wyatt. Anopen house was held at their homein Wyatt's honor on Saturday, andthey had many friends and rela-tives from near and far on hand toshare in his achievement. FriendsDave and Belinda Bauer camefrom Minnesota Friday, and cousinSteve and Lynn Johnson arrivedSaturday, bringing Wyatt's grand-mother, Shirley Johnson, withthem from Minnesota. Friends Roband Michelle Julian, Rapid City,arrived Saturday also. Wyatt'saunt, Deb, and uncle, Cory Burma,and their children arrived from Ne-braska Thursday. The group at-tended the graduation in PhilipSunday, which was followed by an-other reception. The Bauers, John-

sons, and Julians were leaving onMonday, and the Burmas will stayuntil Wednesday. Jon and Conniewere headed to Rapid City Mondayto watch their son, Avery, competein the State Golf Meet. They'llspend Monday evening with theirfriends, Rob and Michelle. Goodluck to Avery! Last Thursday wasthe last day of school for the stu-dents at Cheyenne School whereConnie teaches another success-ful year wrapped up!

Dick and Gene Hudson werebusy helping with the reception fortheir grandson, Wyatt, and hostingsome of the relatives at their home.Gene said they have been enjoyinggarden lettuce and spinach it isself seeded, so it gets an early start.

Nels and Dorothy Paulson havebeen making regular trips to townwhere a local dealership is trying todiagnose and fix a squeak in their

four wheeler no luck so far. Theyattended the reception for WyattJohnson Saturday afternoon.There was no church service atDeep Creek Sunday, so they had a

leisurely day at home. Nels andseveral other gentlemen from theneighborhood were heading to theSansarc Cemetery to do some mow-ing Monday morning. Dorothy wasstaying home entertaining"Arthur" (arthritis) not her fa-vorite guest by any means!

Dorothy Paulson told me thatfriends Leo and Mary Anne Stoner

have moved from their farm east ofPierre to an apartment in Philip. Idon't have any details, but I'll betthey enjoy being back in the famil-iar community. Best wishes tothem!
