The smorgasbord fare included turkey, pheasant shish kebabs, elk casse-role, and other selections, though this year there was no turtle soup.

information from the equalizationoffice. The commission, andHaakon County residents, statedthat the company could come andcopy the material themselves if sodesired, but they did not feel thatRhodes needed to spend countytime copying and mailing the infor-mation.

The company’s letter stated thataccording to law if a company re-quests the information via elec-tronic means, the county must sendit in that manner. The commissionrequested Rhodes speak withHaakon County State’s AttorneyGay Tollefson regarding the laws.

A thankful life ... by Del Bartels

In 1620, after four months at sea, the people on the Mayflower

sighted land. Far north of the Virginia colony, they were forced by

weather to harbor a harsh winter. The non-separatist passengers de-

clared that since they were not at their contractual destination, they

could act as free agents. For self-preservation, the men drafted the

Mayflower Compact, which submitted the entire colony to majority

rule. When the new common house burned to the ground, the ship was

the only shelter. Then a sickness hit. Of the original approximately 102

Mayflower passengers, about half survived the first year. Come warmer

weather, encounters with various Indian tribes resulted in a treaty of

friendship. At summer's end, when the harvest was in, the two groups

combined the colonists’ English “harvest home” and the Indians’ har-

vest time traditions. Though it is likely that this mutual time of thanks-

giving was earlier in the season, it was the seed that grew to become

our Thanksgiving celebrated in late November.

“In everything give thanks” is a Biblical lesson that is sometimes far

from easy. After tremendous hardship and loss, thankfulness is not at

the forefront of one’s thoughts. One definition of a compromise – a com-

pact or treaty – is where neither side is completely happy. The pilgrims

had tremendous loss and they had to repeatedly hold off on their sepa-

ratist ways. Still, they and the people they came into contact with

paused to give thanks.

In 2012, America is still fighting an economy that is, at best, sluggish,

with an almost eight percent unemployment rate. A current devastat-

ing drought is rearing its ugly head at next year’s growing season. Local

food pantries are straining. The stock market is wobbling. Then, there

are other hardships felt on a more personal level. Some families must

deal with breakups, financial downsizing, illnesses, or maybe even a

death in the family.

Still, to give thanks is a lesson. The various colonial settlements, such

as founded by the pilgrims, learned to take, and to share, responsibility

in what we now call a democratic government. Separatism has its place,

but working with others to improve society as a whole can be called an

American trait. A hard life may be softened just a little bit by struggling

through it day by day with a thankful heart.

As the traditional turkey is set on the table, the family around it can

relish that they are together. As people sit at a community table be-

cause, come November 22, they will not be surrounded by family, then

they can be grateful for friends and acquaintances. As families pray,

with an empty chair at the table, they can be comforted that the chair

was filled for a while by a loved one. The traditional picture is of a huge

family laughing around a table full of bounty that includes an overly

huge stuffed turkey. The real picture is of family, and of friends, coming

together to be thankful for each other.

Lookin’ Around by Syd Iwan

Do you suffer from anatidaepho-bia? That is the fear that some-where, somehow, a duck is alwayswatching you. Actually this is morea made-up fear by humorist GaryLarson in his Far Side comics thatan actual one, but probably some-where, somehow, there is a personwho worries about being spied onby ducks. Rationally speaking, there isn’tall that much to be afraid of whenit comes to ducks. They seldom goon the attack, and how dangerouscan the awkward things be withflat feet and blunt bills? Now geeseare a different story. I’ve been bit-ten on the rear by a gander once ortwice, and that can hurt. In otherwords, keep an eye on geese butdon’t fuss that much about ducks. There are a lot of phobias outthere, however, that have beenclassified and are real “excessive,irrational, and persistent fears” asWebster’s dictionary puts it. One ofthe most common might be acro-phobia, which is the fear ofheights. Luckily, I don’t have itand could happily climb to the topof the water tower to take aerialpictures of Myrt’s auction salesince she wanted it visuallyrecorded. I did learn that youshouldn’t look up and see cloudsfloating over since that gives youthe nasty feeling that the tower isfalling over backwards. Lookingdown is fine with me but not up. On the other hand, wife Corinneseldom climbs up over one or twosteps on a stepladder. Heightsdon’t do a thing for her. Even pic-tures of someone up high give herpause. Neither is it a good idea tohold hands with her while watch-ing a movie where someone is dan-gling in space or up too high. See-ing such things will make herhands sweat. On the ranch, I foundthat repairing windmills is not ajob for a lot of guys. It makes themreally nervous to work on some-thing too far above ground level, ifyou can even get them to climb upthere in the first place. Claustrophobia is another com-mon problem which troubles thosewho dislike confined spaces. I havea bit of that. Actually, I’m okay ina small space if there is no one elsethere with me. Neither do I caremuch for crowds or even sitting ona couch with people on both sides. On the other hand, I certainlydon’t suffer from autophobia whichis nervousness caused by beingalone. I can exist for days or weeks

by myself with no problem at all. Ifyou live on a ranch in the middle ofnowhere, this is fortunate. It’s toomany people that bother me andnot too few. Now there are quite a few thingsthat are a danger and need to bewatched. Snakes, prairie fires, spi-ders and bats come to mind. I don’tgo into a panic with any of those,but I don’t like them much. I amnot so afraid of snakes, though,that I can’t run and find a hoe orother implement to remove theirheads. Nevertheless, I don’t runthrough tall grass or pick up a logwithout kicking it first. This habitcame in very handy indeed one daywhen I went to pick up a stumpthat was supporting the tongue ofa hay rake. I kicked it over only tofind a rattlesnake below it. Thethought of putting my fingersunder there without lookingstrongly reinforced my habit ofkicking or shifting first and pickingup second. The same applies tofeed sacks on the floor where spi-ders and other crawly things liketo hide. I do come down with a bit ofablutophobia in the winter whichhas to do with bathing or washing.The reason is acarophobia which isabout itching. If I bathe every day,I also itch every day. Washing upis fine, but daily showers are not.This is only a problem in coldweather and not warm. Neither doI suffer from ataxophobia which isfear of disorder or untidiness. AskCorinne if you don’t believe me.She has a bit of that condition buthas learned to put up with mymesses without too much distress. Finally we come to luposlipapho-bia which is the fear of being pur-sued by timber wolves around akitchen table while wearing sockson a newly waxed floor. As youmight guess, this is another hu-morist’s invention. Socks on anewly waxed floor are actuallykind of fun since you can take arun and slide across until yourmother tells you to quit. The tim-ber-wolf part not so much. Actually, I am basically savedfrom excessive fear by trusting inmy heavenly father. He looks afterme and keeps me out of trouble ashe promises to do and has done re-peatedly. He says not to worryabout anything but to pray abouteverything. I try to do that andhighly recommend it. Being afraidy cat isn’t much fun. I can livewithout it.

Rush Funeral Home’s mainchapel is moving from 203 W. PineStreet to its new site at 165 EastHighway 14, in Philip. An openhouse will be held Sunday, Novem-ber 18, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The new location was once thePark-Inn Cafe and gas station, be-fore it became a Kingdom Hall forthe Jehovah Witnesses. The newbuilding is 4,917 square feet, witha 36x36 garage. It is OccupationalSafety and Health Administrationcompliant; including the air ex-change unit in the embalmingroom set to exchange the air 14times per hour. The layout of theviewing room is for easier visitingof the attendees. Funeral serviceswill still be held in churches orother family chosen places. As part of the open house, therewill be on display a replica of thecoffin used to show President Abra-ham Lincoln during his lying instate. It is one of five replicas made10 years ago by the Batesville Cas-ket Company of Indiana. The coffinwas designed using the only knownsurviving 1865 photograph of thecoffin. The distinction between acoffin and a casket is that a coffinhas six sides (diamond shaped) anda casket has four sides. Four of the five coffin replicastravel the nation for display at fu-neral homes, and the fifth remainsas part of the permanent collectionat the Abraham Lincoln Presiden-tial Library and Museum inSpringfield, Ill. Lincoln’s coffin was the mostelaborate of that time. It was con-structed of solid walnut, lined withlead and completely covered in ex-pensive black cloth. It was six feet,six inches long and decorated withsterling silver handles and studsextending the entire length of itssides. Though it appears austerecompared to modern caskets, theoriginal was custom made for thepresident and featured a remov-able two-part top. The replica doesnot contain a lead lining. Historically, the coffin playedprominently in a plot by thieves tosteal the president’s body. In 1876,when a counterfeiting ring’s top en-graver was imprisoned, his gangdecided to break into the tomb andsteal the body, planning to hold itfor a ransom of $200,000 in goldand the freedom of the engraver.The plot was foiled when lawmenmade their move as the coffin wasbeing removed from the tomb. In 1900, Lincoln’s son, Robert,was afraid that more attempts tosteal the body would be made. A se-lect few viewed the body one lasttime, to ensure that previous at-tempts to steal the body had notbeen successful. Lincoln’s appear-ance had not changed much sincethat of his original burial in 1865.Lincoln was then permanentlyburied, with the coffin placed in acage 10 feet deep and encased in4,000 pounds of concrete. It is estimated that one million

people viewed Lincoln’s body fromthe time of his death until his bur-ial. The funeral was the largest inthe world, until President John F.Kennedy’s death in 1963. It could be said that Lincoln’sdeath triggered the beginning ofthe modern day funeral service. Hewas the first public figure to be em-balmed and put on view – for al-most three weeks. The embalmingtechnique used was primarily used

on soldiers who died during theCivil War and needed to be trans-ported home for burial. People atthe time thought embalming was abarbaric violation of the body, butLincoln’s funeral changed that per-ception. His public viewing intro-duced the population to the bene-fits of embalming. Mourners wereable to see the late president for 20days and embalming made it possi-ble.

So, when do cows start experi-encing cold stress and then howmuch more energy do they need?South Dakota State University Ex-tension Cow/calf Field SpecialistWarren Rusche said there are afew things to consider when itcomes to cold stress. “We need to factor in both the ac-tual temperature and the windspeed to determine the effectivetemperature,” Rusche said, refer-encing Table 1. “You can see windspeed can dramatically lower theeffective temperature the cattle ex-perience. Any kind of available pro-tection, whether natural or manmade, can be very valuable in re-ducing the amount of wind chill”

Table 1Wind chill temperature

Table 2Lower critical temperatures

Coat condition Critical tempsWet or summer coat 59Dry, Fall coat 45Dry, winter coat 32Dry, heavy winter coat 18 As a general rule, Rusche said,for every degree that the effectivetemperature is below the lowercritical temperature, the cow’s en-ergy needs increase by one percent.“For instance if the effective tem-perature is 17 degrees, the energyneeds of a cow with a dry wintercoat are about 15 percent higherthan they would be under moremoderate conditions. That energyrequirement jumps up to about 40percent higher under those condi-tions if the hair coat is completelywet or matted down with mud,” hesaid. One of the ways, Rusche said,the cow responds to cold stress isby increasing voluntary feed in-take. “The animal’s entire metabo-lism system increases in activity.Also, the passage rate of roughagesthrough the rumen and digestivetract increases. These changes trig-ger an increase in the cow’s ap-petite and voluntary intake,” hesaid.

Some observed changes in intakebased on temperature are shown inthe Table 3.

Degrees Intake ratio<5 1165-22 10722-41 10541-59 10359-77 10277-95 90>95 65 Some management considera-tions cattle producers need to keepin mind regarding changes in feedintake in response to cold stressand the cow’s need for more energyinclude; Make sure that water is avail-able. If water availability is re-stricted, feed intake will be re-duced. If the feed availability islimited either by snow cover or ac-cess to hay feeders, the cattle maynot have the opportunity to eat asmuch as their appetite would dic-tate. Be careful providing largeramounts of high concentrate feeds.Rapid diet changes could cause sig-nificant digestive upsets. “It’s important to remember thatcattle can adapt to short termweather changes relatively wellwithout a significant impact onperformance. A cow can deal witha few cold, miserable days withoutsuffering long-term effects,”Rusche said. “However, ignoringthe energy costs of long-term coldstress greatly increases the risk ofproblems down the road duringcalving and subsequent rebreedingperformance.” He added that any steps that wecan take to lower the cold stress thecows have to contend with, such asproviding wind and weather pro-tection, help reduce her mainte-nance requirements.

For only the second time in 2012,the statewide monthly averagetemperature was cooler than aver-age in October. Statewide, nearlyall locations were also drier thanaverage, according to latest reportsfrom the National Weather Serviceobservers and the High Plains Re-gional Climate Center in Lincoln,Neb. “There was very little drought re-lief to speak of,” said Laura Ed-wards, South Dakota State Univer-sity Extension climate field special-ist. “Harvest of corn, soybeans andsunflowers is pretty much com-plete, which is a positive impactfrom drought, but winter wheat iscontinuing to struggle with thelack of moisture.” Only two climate observing loca-tions were warmer than average inOctober, Hot Springs and Ardmore,both in Fall River County. Else-where, the mercury fell as much asfive degrees below average. Wess-ington Springs, Forestburg andFlandreau were among those thatreported the largest differencesfrom average. A three-county area in the north-east was wetter than average, butthat is an anomaly from the rest ofSouth Dakota. “There was a bigrain event around October 20 and21 that brought over three inchesof rain to the Webster and Waubayarea,” said Edwards. “That is thesecond time this year where DayCounty received much more rain-fall than the surrounding area. Theother occurrence was in July, dur-ing the peak of the summerdrought.” One positive note going forwardis the updated climate outlook forNovember. The latest map, re-leased November 1, puts northernSouth Dakota in an area of higherchances of wetter than averageconditions. “There have been a lot of fluctu-ations this fall in the outlook maps,but a wetter pattern may be set-tling in, at least for the next coupleof weeks,” said Edwards. The remaining two-thirds of the

state is forecast to have equalchances of below average, above av-erage and near average precipita-tion. Temperature projections for thenext month appear to continue thewarm trend that we have seen formost of the year. All of the state isprojected to have higher chances ofwarmer than average tempera-tures in November. Edwards said there may be someshort term relief of drought condi-tions this month. She added thatshe is looking towards Novemberwith reserved optimism. “I'm ever the optimist, but eachpassing dry month is making itmore difficult to keep that opti-mism,” said Edwards.

Climate update: October inreview and a look forward

The South Dakota Departmentof Revenue, Division of Motor Ve-hicles, has awarded six new site lo-cations in South Dakota to placemotor vehicle registration self-ser-vice terminals (SST). The 24-hour SST is a fully auto-mated vehicle registration renewalstation and dispenses license platerenewal tags on the spot. “The real convenience is that ve-hicle owners from any county canuse the terminal with the properidentification,” said Division ofMotor Vehicles Director DebHillmer. “We are excited for the op-portunity to install self-service ter-minals in other areas of SouthDakota. The terminals already op-erating have been well received. Ibelieve the additional locations willexperience the same success.” The six new site locations are theRushmore Mall in Rapid City,Kessler’s in Aberdeen, County FairFood Store in Mitchell, and at theHy-Vee Food Stores in Watertown,Brookings and Yankton. The ma-chines are expected to be installedand operational in early 2013. There are four self-service termi-

nals currently operating in SouthDakota. The SSTs are available inSioux Falls at the Get-N-Go andthe Hy-Vee Food Store, in RapidCity at the Public Safety Building,and at the Department of Revenue,Pierre Office. A vehicle owner can navigatethrough the easy touch screen(voice assistance available) with avalid South Dakota driver’s license;South Dakota identification card;or if a company, the informationprovided on its renewal notice.Once the payment has been sub-mitted and the transaction is com-plete, the license renewal tags andvehicle registration are dispenseddirectly from the machine. The SST allows vehicle owners toregister up to 90 days prior and 30days after the expiration of theircurrent license tags. A two dollarconvenience fee per vehicle is as-sessed. Acceptable forms of pay-ment include electronic check,credit cards (MasterCard or Dis-cover only), or ATM/debit cardssupported by Pulse, Star, NYCEand Accel.

*** Saturday, November 3, 2012, forresidents of Somerset Court, JessieWhitley and Mike Finn reenactedtheir wedding. (Jessie works atSomerset Court and is much appre-ciated.) A good crowd assembled. Areception followed, with Jessie andMike greeting guests at the door.

There was a lot of hugging goingon. Cake and drinks were served.The newlyweds plan to save uptheir wedding gift money for a tripto Ireland. Best wishes, Jessie andMike. Saturday, my son, Wayne, andmy daughter-in-law, Gwynn, cameover for lunch. Gwynn wanted toshow me a pair of lovely little oldquilts, all elaborately handstitched. Such tiny, even stitches.We believe the cream-colored fabricis parachute silk. It seems therewere no family members left toclaim them. Thank you, Gwynn.Gwynn also has offered to take meto some bazaars and to a Christ-mas house trip along with BarbaraHansen. And Gwynn would let mecome along on Tuesday, November13, to meet with project warmthand arrange items to put into theboots for troops that Gwynn’s quilt-ing group have made. It will soon

be time to send the Christmasstockings that go overseas to ser-vicemen and women. Eileen Tenold had company overthe weekend, her friend, DavidOacek, Lemmon. David would liketo build a fountain in his dooryardlike the one at Somerset Court. My granddaughter, Gwen Mor-gan, Woodbridge, Va., wrote on apretty Halloween card, “I remem-ber all those pumpkin carvings.”Well, I do too, Gwen, and so manyother things we did when you werea little kid. And now you are agrandma! And our little Teagan,this year, dressed as a bunny forHalloween. Sunday, November 4, 2012,Rapid City Journal had a goodwrite-up by Andrea Cook aboutMidland, in their hometowns sec-tion. Midland was started in 1890,and still has many of the basic ne-cessities for a town, such as a gradeschool, a grain elevator, a bank, abuilding center/hardware, gas sta-tion (which carries limited gro-ceries), a museum, and a bar andgrill. Probably the most unusualfeature is the Stroppel Hotel, whichis now known as Lava Water Hotelwith its 120 degree hot baths. Thewater comes from 1,784 feet deepand is said to be therapeutic. Onecan arrange for a massage. Thebaths are two large tanks whereone can sit or float around. What abargin for only $4, the last I heard. On Sunday morning, EileenTenold played hymns before lunchand I sang along. Floy and I werewalking laps up on third floor, andwe agreed that we were thankful tohave an even surface where we canwalk. Nine laps equal a mile. Wekeep charts for our own satisfac-tion. On Sunday, the fireplace was litas it was chilly and windy out. (As

usual, I felt pain when the frontwent through.) On Sunday, at Somerset Court,we had roast turkey, mashed pota-toes and gravy, carrots and peasand pumpkin pie. My husband,Virgil, always declared that pump-kin pie and carrot cake were veg-etables. At 2:00 we had churchwith Terry. Thanks, Terry, Steveand Jack. Steve, (I don’t know hissurname, but he teaches at RapidCity Christian and he sometimescomes and talks to us. He read usa verse which he said was aboutelections.) God puts officers in theirpositions and also removes them.God causes day and night and wetrust that. We also wonder abouttsunamis and global warming. IsGod a little sorry he made humans?We can try to see good in our mis-fortunes, for each may be an oppor-tunity. Sunday evening, M.R. Hansentook me along to Clay Hansen’s.Wayne and Gwynn Hansen, andBrett and T.J. Knowles were theretoo. Thanks for the supper, Clay,and thanks to M.R. and to Wayneand Gwynn for rides. Novemver 3, Michael and LindaMonette, son and daughter-in-lawof Kenneth Monette, visited him atSomerset Court from November 2to November 5. They are from Dal-las, Texas. Their daughter fromDallas shows Arabian horses. Shewill be here to visit Ken overThanksgiving. Clay Hansen entertained a groupof pheasant hunters at David K.and Janet Hansen’s over the week-end. They were Brett Pickens andson T.J., about 13, and M.R. andFrank Hansen. As Brett writes:“T.J. Pickens, Rio Rancho, N.M.,learned about pheasant huntingwith the help of his dad, Brett, andJeremy Hand and his two wonder-ful dogs, Penny and Fenway.” November 5 at Somerset Court,we had crafts with Amy. We madescratch-off autumn leaves, very col-orful. Violet, Eileen, Mildred andhelper Kay, Fred, Agnes, Addie,Marg S., Mary Lou and Vivianmade the leaves. Thank you, Amy.

Marlyn askedabout my kids, Wayne and Delores,as she had taught them in the fifthgrade in Philip. She had my daugh-ter, Cecile Marie, for piano lessonstoo. Marlyn asked about Phil andIrene Hansen, who had lived inPhilip, but now live in ColoradoSprings. Marlyn’s husband (calledMurph) was the Philip High Schoolag/shop teacher for many years. Myrna Pokorney returned toSomerset Court from a trip toYankton for several family get-to-gethers. Tuesday, November 6, SomersetCourt provided a bus to take resi-dents to the First Assembly of GodChurch out south of town to vote.We are thankful to have that ride.It was a nice day. The church’sflower beds are bright in the sum-mer time, and are still beautiful inthe winter with red foliage bushes,big stones and dried flower busheswith seed pods on them. Kammi Trullinger, our SomersetCourt receptionist, brought hermother, Connie Stecher, in to havebreakfast with us Tuesday morn-ing. In honor of voting day at Somer-set Court the sandwich of the daywas fried baloney. A new Somerset Court resident,Joyce Herron, is in apartment 220.She had lived in Custer and HillCity. At Tuesday bingo, with Shawncalling numbers, winner wereMary Klauct, Irene Cox, Amy’sgramps, Ina, Connie, twice, MaryLou, Anne and Mildred.

We got some of that muchneeded moisture in the form ofsnow. Saturday started out okay,but, as the day progressed, it beganto snow and then the winds reallypicked up. Snow was flying. And itwas cold. And, it was icy under-foot. The Legion had their annualVeterans Day soup supper thatnight at the Midland Legion Hall.They were pleased with the crowdthey had, considering the weatherconditions. It was a good night fora hot bowl of chicken noodle soupor chili, Jerry had chicken noodleand I had chili, they both tastedgood. Besides soup, there weresandwiches, caramel rolls, popcornballs and all kinds of bars. So, ifyou went away hungry it was yourown fault. May we never forget those whohave served, are continuing toserve and those who lost their livesin the service of their country!Freedom is not free. And may we as

a nation continue to put our trustin God, asking for His guidance inthe uncertainty of just where thisjourney we are on may take us. I’ma firm believer that when we thinkwe have all the answers, or whenour focus is on what we want orwhat we think we need, we losesight of what matters, what’s im-portant, we lose sight of God’s plan.May we continue to pray for posi-tive leadership for our country, ournation, for America! Our daughter, Charlene, calledfrom Bismarck, N.D., saying theywoke up to black ice Saturdaymorning. It began to snow later inthe day, and when all was said anddone, they had no less then sevenand a half inches of wet snow. Shetold of folks to the north reportingthey had 18 inches of snow. Ross and Amiee Block recentlywent to Indianapolis, Ind. Theirthree kids stayed with grandpa andgrandma, Gary and Jody Block.They visited with Aimee’s sister,Lindsey and Ryan Deterding andIla. Ross and Lindsey also tookpart in running a half-marathonwhile in Indianapolis. Congratula-tions, Ross and Lindsey! Good job!Better be careful, that running canget a grip on a person and you findyourself off on another run. Andrea Cook with the Rapid CityJournal wrote some articles ofsmall towns and country schoolsrecently. The town of Midland andthe Deep Creek School were amongthem. For any of us who have goneto country schools or lived in smalltowns, we know times havechanged both. Clint and Prerry Saucerman andClint’s mom, Wilma, were in RapidCity Thursday for doctor appoint-ments. They also enjoyed a visitwith Clint and Prerry’s son, Teland Ellie Nemec and family, hav-ing lunch with them. It is the sea-son for deer hunting.

Prerry reports they have hadhunters at their place. With theweather we had on Saturday, Icouldn’t help but think that allthose hunters in Midland thisweekend sure must enjoy the sportof hunting. I wouldn’t be out look-ing for deer with that cold windand snow. But, never having beena hunter, I wouldn’t be out no mat-ter what the conditions. And isn’t ita good thing everyone isn’t thesame? It would be a rather dullworld, don’t you think? Karel Reiman had hunters cometo the ranch Friday. Her son,Mark, came from Kadoka, having achance to visit with those hunters.Bob List and Marvin Guthmiller,both of Yankton, filled their limitjust before the snow started Satur-day. Bob is a brother-in-law ofKarel’s; he was married to LorraineReiman. Lorraine was a sister toKarel’s late husband, LloydReiman. Bob and Lorraine made ita yearly event coming to theReiman ranch for hunting. Lor-raine passed away some years ago,but Bob continues to come as he en-joys the sport of hunting. Karel,Mark, Bob and Marvin came toMidland Saturday evening for theLegion veteran’s soup supper. Allattended church at St. Peter’sLutheran Church Sunday morningand enjoyed dinner together beforeBob and Marvin headed home aftera successful hunt and enjoyablevisit. Ivan Schanzenbach has a housefull of company. His sister, Joanand Farrell Parks, Blue Water,N.M., and their daughter, PamSims, Albuquerque, N.M., and Kirkand Jennifer Parks and four chil-dren, Utah, arrived Sunday. Joan,Farrell and Pam spent Saturdaynight at Valentine, Neb., as roadconditions were icy, so decided tospend the night and head out forIvan’s the next day. Chris Parks,his wife and five children, also ofUtah, started out for SouthDakota, but, due to road conditionsthey turned around and went backhome. Chris decided to take a flightto Rapid City, arriving Tuesday,rented a car and headed to Ivan’s.Joan, Farrell and Pam are stayingwith Ivan and Kirk and his familyrented a motel room at Pierre, com-ing out during the day and visitingwith everyone. With Joan and Far-rell’s family living quite a distancefrom them, they look forward tothat time of visiting with their kidsand families, as well as with Ivan. We wish to express our sinceresympathies to the family of Mari-lyn Gillaspie, who passed away onFriday at the age of 68. Marilynand her late husband, ConradGillapie, moved to Midland someyears ago. After Conrad’s death,Marilyn continued to live in Mid-land where she enjoyed sewing,knitting and cross-stitch. She didbeautiful work! Her Catholic faithwas of deep importance to Marilyn.Our prayers to the family! I was glad to get an update fromMicaela on her mom, Alice Venner!From the sounds of things, theweek’s visit of Alice’s brother andsisters was a great time of visiting,reminiscing and relaxing. Micaelareports her mom is losing moreweight, takes more naps, and tiresmore easily. Alice and Larry con-tinue to live life, enjoying visits

from family and friends, takingeach day as it comes, and thankfulfor those little blessings that cometheir way. Our prayers continue tobe with Larry and Alice and theirfamilies. Thanks Micaela for theupdates, they mean a lot to folks.

JaniceBierle, Betty Sinkey, Kathy Tolton,Wilma Saucerman, Emily Sam-mons and Verona Evans arrived atthe home of our hostess, IsabelleSampson. We were hoping MaxineStirling could be with us too, but,she just isn’t able as yet. Hopefullyshe can join us at our Christmasluncheon on December 7. Duringroll call, we talked about our plansfor Thanksgiving, and no one hadmade definite plans as yet. Speaking of Thanksgiving, Is-abelle read a poem she had written.She also read a poem by an un-known author, reminding us of themany blessings we take forgranted. Blessings which can onlycome from our Lord each and everyday! A Thanksgiving food quizbrought many a chuckle. Creed andflag salute followed. Emily guessedthe ‘Price is Right’ game. She saidRonnie would be glad she had won.At times he is called to dish dutyand had mentioned it was time todiscard the old and get some newdish towels. Maybe now he willoffer to do the dishes more. Youthink? In keeping with Halloween, ourhostess chose pumpkins as hertheme and pumpkins of variousshapes and sizes surrounded thecenterpiece. As a special treat,Betty Block made plastic canvaspumpkins attached to a clothes pinto be given as a souvenir of the day.These were placed at each tablesetting to match the napkins. Alltoo soon, the afternoon sun beganto drop lower in the western skysignaling the time to bring the fun-filled afternoon to a close. Remem-ber – Christmas noon luncheon willbe December 7. Emily and VeronaEvans will be co-hostesses.

I wasn’t able to find some folks athome and some of those I did saidthey didn’t have anything newsworthy for this week. Many arebusy with hunters, selling calvesand getting ready for winter. A while back, Jerry and I wentfor a drive, something we enjoydoing, winding up at Wall Drug.Having a bite to eat, we decided totake a drive towards Creighton.Karel (Eisenbraun) Reiman livedand grew up on a farm in theCreighton area with her folks, Ed-mund and Goldie Eisenbraun, herbrother, Ed, and her sister, Paula.As we were driving along we knewwe were on the Creighton Road be-cause the road sign said, so, but weweren’t sure how far it was toCreighton, and we also wondered ifa person could get to Highway 34

from that road. Deciding to stop ata farm house, we had a nice visitwith a fine young fellow by thename of Josh Geigle. He knewKarel and her family very well, at-tended the same church, and toldhow members of their families vis-ited back and forth over thoseyears. He said Creighton was aboutthree miles from his place. The lit-tle store at Creighton was nolonger going he said, and had fadedfrom the color red to pink and hetold that a person could see thechurch up on the hill from thatstore. He said to get to Highway 34you would have to go in a round-about way about 50 miles, so we de-cided not to do that. He told usrather than going back to Wall, wecould take the Kelly Hill Road; itwould take us to Quinn and High-way 14. Continuing to visit with Josh welearned that he knew Thor Roseth,from their college days at Brook-ings. It is a small world. That is afact. We thanked him for the finevisit and the information andheaded off for Creighton. We foundthe store and the church on thehill. If the grass had been green, itwould have been a beautiful set-ting. When we got home, I calledKarel telling her of our adventure.She of course knew Josh, and saidat one time her parents lived inand ran that store for a time. Sheworked there for a year after fin-ishing high school and before shewent off to college to become ateacher. Her mom was postmasterin that store for 23 years. I asked Karel about theCreighton Community Hall we hadseen along the road. She remem-

bers going to many dances at thathall, dancing to Buddy Meredithand his cowboy band. Her momwas a member of the CreightonBee’s Extension Club and Karel re-members the club ladies served agood lunch around midnight, whichwas a money maker for their exten-sion club. They also had schoolplays etc. in the community hall. Alot of good memories for folks! Jerry and I headed for MitchellSunday morning! The roads werefine until we got to Presho, wherewe hit icy conditions. As we contin-ued driving, the ice became heaviermaking us thankful for four-wheeldrive. By the time we got to Cham-berlain road conditions were muchimproved and were fine the rest ofthe way to Mitchell. Stephanie’s parents, Josef andBarbara Van Oorschot, Kevelaer,Germany, arrived at Mitchell No-vember 5 for a visit with Christo-pher and Stephanie and littleLaura. Josef had not seen his onlygrandchild, as he was unable tocome when Barbara came for threeweeks after Laura was born. Wehad a good visit, Josef knows Eng-lish well, Barbara not quite somuch. Josef was doing some workon Christopher and Stephanie’shouse, which they much appreci-ate. It kept him and Barbara busywhile they were at work. Josef andBarbara will be heading back toGermany Thursday, November 15.It is going to be hard for Barbara toleave that grandbaby! She and hermom are planning on coming for avisit to Mitchell in April. Thankful for the moisture wehave gotten, I wish you a goodweek!

(continued from last week) They say 90 days after fog, rainwill come. Vi Moody reports that itwas pea soup fog in Rapid CityThursday and part of Friday. Donand Vi drove to Sturgis later thatafternoon. Earlier, they were vis-ited by tenant Susan and gave heranother quick look through thehouse and gave some hobby itemsof interest to her and exchange ofautumn gifts tradition during Hal-loween and covering Thanksgivingalso. Don and Vi are getting readyto remodel the entire kitchen intheir home at Rapid with new cab-inets, sink, stove, dishwasher, andrefrigerator. Boy that's going to befun – but they can't get it done be-fore the holidays anyway, so it is inin the planning stages and is fungetting ideas. Computers do allthat work anymore, for measure-ments, color choices and all! Visays these carpenters need insidejobs for the winter so boring Janu-ary and bookeeping will fill thatgap. Bill and I were still in sunnyMesa, Ariz., Thursday. Bill restedthe better part of the day. I visitedJoyce Houle and she showed mewhere Hugh and Joann Hart werelocated in the RV resort there inApache Junction. We located themunder the shade of their mo-torhome awning enjoying the com-pany of Tim and Ann Triek alsofrom Rapid City. Both couples arefulltime warriors of the road, or asI sometimes call those with RVs –turtles, meaning they carry theirhouse with them. Had a short visitthere before taking Joyce home.Bill and I visited with Gib andDelma Hanna in the evening andwere gifted with some ice creamsince Gib said they were giving uptheir usual evening treat. Now, Billand I will be tempted. Kinsey and George Gittings werein Rapid City Friday where Georgewas given the okay by his doctor togo back to work. Sandee Gittings’brother, John Boheman, SiouxFalls, arrived at the George Git-tings’ home Friday evening to dosome archery deer hunting in thearea, he returned home Sundaymorning. Bruce Hagen, Olastee, Fla., andWill and Acacia Owen, Tulsa,Okla., spent Friday night at theGeorge and Sandee Gittings’. Theywere taking a large unit fromKansas to Canada and their truckbroke down. They enjoyed thesteak-out and bingo in town thatevening. Thanks to all for your generosityin ordering wreaths and swagsfrom the Civil Air Patrol. A miss-dial by me got me the Pioneer Re-view and Kelly, who had alreadyplaced an order. Only in Philip canyou miss-dial and talk for an hourwith a friend. (Didn't talk thatlong, but enjoyed the encounter.) Friday found us on the road earlyin the morning, but the GPS wastaking us on a slow road. We saw alot of arid land as we traveledalong, and I snapped a few pic-tures. We got into a campground inGallup, N.M., but flounderedaround in the dark before we actu-ally got parked and had supper. Itwas a cold night there. Used thewashing machine that night, but

was awakened by the water pumprunning. Saturday morning, wediscovered a water line had comeloose and we lost all the water outof the holding tank. Thankful wefound a place that had just the partneeded, Bill got it fixed and wewere on the road to Albuquerque,N.M. Grateful we weren't involvedin an accident on I-40 that backedup traffic for about two hours. Wearrived in Albuquerque after noonand Bill's cousin, Jean and JoeMontoya picked us up from thecampground we found, and touredus around Rio Rancho showing uswhere her son's office was, then weall went out for lunch where wewere joined by their daughter andfamily, Trinity and Andy Arellanoand two children, Chuck andRanee Wilkins and son, Christo-pher. We then visited their daugh-ter, Chris, and family. What ahome she has. She and her daugh-ter had just finished making 200sandwiches for the homeless thattheir church will deliver Sunday. Abusy family. We visited at Jeanand Joe's home, then it was back tothe campground to settle in for thenight. It got cold. Why are we head-ing north? Good day of traveling Sundayand we arrived at a campgroundjust before Cheyenne, Wyo. It wasa buffalo ranch, so supper was aserving of buffalo. It was gettingcold there. You know when thecampground warns about frozenpipes you're way too far north!

(this week’s news) The sun is glistening off the newfallen snow. Drifts lay swirledwhere the wind decided to buildthem, across the ditch, by thewooden post, where bushes are. Iappreciate the blowing snow, itseems to seal off all the air leaks inour north addition, at least tem-porarily. Thank you veterans for yourservice as well as the families whosupport them. Monday, we arrived home fromour journeys. We came up throughNebraska after breaking camp inCheyenne, Wyo., that morning. Itwas cold enough there, so we hus-tled to get on the road, the GPS di-rected us home through Nebraskaand saved about 100 miles. We ar-rived home early enough to getleaves that were all grouped by thewind bagged and ready for thedump. Also, the post office was ex-tremely glad to get a little roomwhen our three boxes of mail werebrought home. Tony Harty had coffee out Mon-day morning and stopped by to wel-come us home when he spotted themotorhome. We were glad to gethome before the wind came up thatnight. Bill said we traveled 3,500miles (now he needs to check be-cause he thinks it was more like4,500 miles), visited 75 family andfriends and went through 11states, all in 40 days. Oops, I didmake an error in relationship, itwas actually Bill's cousin we vis-ited in Phoenix, Tony Riley. Bill'suncle, Max, said Bill is like abrother, (which would have madeTony a nephew), but not in reality. Several guys helped George Git-tings and Kinsey Gittings get thecalves to the sale Tuesday morn-

ing. Kinsey left that afternoon to goto Iowa for a few days. Tuesday, Bill and I went toRapid City to get medical supplies.Our favorite eating places seem tohave bowling alleys attached. DonKeyser was league bowling whenwe had dinner and we spottedJerry Morgan there, too. Westopped in New Underwood for avisit with Dean Parsons, Jim Mori-arity and Dave Schofield. It took alittle bit to run Jim down, he wastaking physical therapy. They havea very comfortable place there andthe fellows said the food is good.Beth and Zane Jeffries also cameby to visit Dean. Tony Harty was excited to getthe news Tuesday that he has anew great, great-niece, named Wil-low Rain Frink. The proud parentsare E.J. and Theresa Frink,Chadron, Neb. It was election dayand he voted, then went out for cof-fee and picked up the mail, andchecked on the Hairs' place. L.D.and Shirley came to Kadoka laterin the day and gathered their mailfrom Tony and got some otherthings they needed. It was a nice day Wednesday andI drove the Haakon County PrairieTransportation van to Philip forseveral folks to keep appointments.Bill exercised the 1962 Thunder-bird by taking it to Philip for cardsin the afternoon. He also visitedwith Jan Hewitt. Time to park ourhome on wheels, so I cleaned thecarpet and Bill figured out how thedishwasher works. Thankful wedidn't really use it because thedrain hose was disconnected andwater would have run all over inthe compartment. Tony Harty had a quiet dayWednesday with coffee out, got hismail, then did some cooking. George Gittings went to MidlandWednesday afternoon on business. Don and Vi Moody finished theirbusiness at their Rapid Valleyplace. They went to Sturgis Thurs-day for well lids and other ranchbusiness and returned to the ranchFriday evening and stopped by fora visit with their camping friends,Bob and Kathy Norton, Chester,

who were hooked into electricity atthe first house and enjoyed pre-deer hunting plans and pet sched-ules to avoid any conflicts on thatdetail. The grouse running aroundthe Moody ranch were about aspopulated as the deer and whenthese birds appeared near the frontyard evergreens the morning of theopening deer hunt, Mandy andMindy, (border collies) pulled off acircus act running in all directionsand birds flying in all directions. Visaid she didn't know if the birdswere having more fun than thepuppies or the other way around. When we arrived at the local cafefor breakfast Thursday morning,we enjoyed a visit with LarryChristopherson, Sioux Falls, whowas in the area hunting. He hadvisited at the Dale O'Connell homethe day before. There was a Veter-ans Day program that morning atthe auditorium here in Kadoka.Those attending from this report-ing area were Tony Harty and my-self, I picked up Phyllis Word andwe met Muree Struble. Very niceprogram and the guest speakerwas outstanding. Bill and I fin-ished cleaning the motorhome andwinterized it. We still wonder whywe are back in the cold! Tony cameby for a visit in the afternoon andbegan reading the book put to-gether by Roy Stout, given to me bymy cousin, Marilyn Mizer. He re-members many of the places Roywrote about. Tony also called laterin the evening to tell us the footballgame between Harding County andColombe was being televised andhe had a great-nephew, ReeseJensen, playing for HardingCounty. Harding County won thegame. Friday after coffee and gettingthe mail, Tony Harty went to Mar-tin to help the Knights of Colum-bus with their annual smoker feed.He said they cooked up 250 poundsof Rocky Mountain oysters and alsoprovided deep fried potatoes, roastbeef and roast pork. There was agood crowd on hand to enjoy thefeed, but it was foggy both ways oftravel with some rain. Don and Vi Moody did ranch

things while their friends, Bob andKathy Norton, cooked up goodies intheir camper. Their kids andgrandkids arrived in Kadoka Fri-day evening at a local motel inpreparation for the big day Satur-day - which turned into near bliz-zard conditions with cold blowingsnow and sometimes enough re-duced visibility to cause a few di-rection confusions out and about.Cell phones were insurance and fa-miliar landmarks were guides. Notall licenses got filled, but everyonehad a fun time. Sympathy is extended to thefamily of former neighbor JeanetteGebes, who passed away recentlyin Batavia, Ill. Jeanette and Hankand girls used to live just down theroad from us. Her brother-in-law,George Gebes, was one my folksvisited on their honeymoon in Sep-tember, 1938. Cathy Fiedler reported that theyhad a nice week in the Sturgisarea, Wednesday being the mostbeautiful day getting to 72˚. Fogmoved in Thursday night into Fri-day. Friday evening rain turnedinto snow Saturday and theneverything froze, but only about ainch of snow fell. Very cold andwindy for the weekend. Now thatwe set the scene for the weather,you have to imagine the dedicationshown by Eric Hanson, son-in-lawto Ralph and Cathy Fiedler, whogot himself a 4x5 whitetail buckdeer Saturday morning nearSpearfish with a bow and arrow.Eric loves to hunt archery. He gota very nice deer but it was a coldday. Daniel Jordan came home withGrandma Sandee Gittings Fridayafternoon to spend the night. Hegot to stay again Saturday nightdue to the weather. Greg Wolbrinkand Rob Maher, Sioux Falls, andGreg Kastner, Brookings, arrivedat Gittings’ Friday morning fordeer hunting. Steve Glaser, KatieFickhoff, Nate Glaser, all of SiouxFalls, and Justin Unruh, Davis, ar-rived Friday afternoon. Saturday morning, there wasrain collected in all the little in-dents and enough coming down to

have the wipers on going to break-fast. We now know it can rain. TheSouth Dakota Pilot's Associationwas holding their quarterly meet-ing in Philip at the bowling alleyand I got a call from PresidentJohn Barney who was doing a roadcheck early on. At that time wewere not getting any snow, but areport from another pilot in theNemo area let me know they werealready into snow mode and shewould not be attending.

ment before starting any project. Knutson went in to greater detailabout the Governor’s House Pro-gram. “There have been a lot ofchanges with this program in thelast one and one half years,” saidKnutson. One new feature is thatschool districts can purchase Gov-ernor’s Homes for employees. Theycan use this as a recruitmentmethod for new teachers. Qualifi-cations include the school mustown the house and put it on schoolproperty, the town has to have apopulation of 2,500 people or less,and it has to be used in a ruralschool district. No school districthas taken advantage of this so far. According to a brochure designedby the South Dakota Housing De-velopment Authority, the price of aGovernor’s House is $35,500, whichincludes the price of the house,transportation to the buyer’s lotand placement on the foundation orbasement. For households with twoor fewer individuals, combined in-come cannot exceed $42,280, andfor households with three or more

individuals, combined income can-not exceed $48,320. During a question and answertime, Dave Geisler, Murdo, asked,if the school district bought a Gov-ernor’s House, could they sell it toa teacher. Knutson responded thatthe school district could, with per-mission from the South DakotaHousing District. Henderson ex-plained that a modified Governor’sHouse Program is available forschools, healthcare providers andmedical facilities. Terry Van Dam, Murdo, askedabout requirements on compara-bles. Currently, the comparables,or lack thereof, in the communitymake it difficult to obtain a loan.Lauseng answered that he hearsthis question everywhere, andright now, he has no answers. Corcoran spoke of Direct Pro-gram Funding and Single FamilyHome Ownership GuaranteedLoans (section 504). Section 504 isa low income grant and loan pro-gram that helps very low incomehomeowners remove health andsafety hazards, or helps suchhomeowners repair their homes.

Hanson, Centerville, explainedwhat his small community did toovercome their housing issues.They performed a community as-sessment in 2004, finding thathousing was the biggest issue. McCracken said NeighborWorksis a non-profit housing program de-veloped to help applicants pur-chase, maintain and stay in ahome. The target market is west-ern South Dakota. More informa-tion is can be found at www.neighborworksdhr.org. Denny Moore, Murdo, asked thepanel if there were any programsavailable for middle income fami-lies and individuals. Lauseng said,“Not really. There are programs forfirst time home buyers.” The FirstTime Homebuyer Program incomerequirement for Jones County is$60,400 or less for a family of twoor less, with a purchase limit of$204,432. The panel urged to get the resi-dents involved. They also sug-gested encouraging communitypride, as many community im-provement projects will take manpower.

Members of the Philip American Legion Auxiliary presented dictionaries to the school district’s third graders, Monday afternoon,November 12. The auxiliary does this every year during National Education Week, which is November 11-17, 2012. Kay Ainslieis a former teacher, with 36 years of experience, 32 of those in Philip and four in Haakon County country schools. Ainslie andGayle Rush explained about the auxiliary’s purpose. Women are eligible for membership in the auxiliary if they are themselvesa veteran or if they fall into one of the following categories: wife, mother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter,grandmother or great-grandmother of an active duty service member or veteran. Step-relatives in the categories above are alsoeligible. Each dictionary had the student’s name written on the first page. “You get to keep these forever. They are yours,” saidclass instructor Jessica Wheeler. “If you go to the back, there are all sorts of things back there for you to use.” The dictionariesinclude charts and information on measurements, sign language, braille, the planets and some history. Pictured are Wheeler’sthird grade class. Back row, from left, are Ainslie, Jenna Engbarth, Katie Butler, Sawyer Smith, Ryan Hindman-Hopkins, AllisonWilliams and Rush.

The Philip Area AARP/RetiredTeachers Association hosted localbusinessman Mark Buchholz as itsguest speaker during its Monday,October 29, meeting. Using a related joke to start hisspeech, Buchholz said that he de-cided to stay in Philip because henever made enough to leave town.He then explained that staying ina small town, or returning to one,is arguably the best way to makeone’s career and one’s life. A 1980 high school graduate, heoriginally planned to go into teach-ing field. But, having a short tem-per and not being able to toleratelying and certain other traits, hefigured teaching may not be hisfield. Early on he witnessed theworking conditions of oil drillingand the waste of drugs. Back working on the Kennedyranch, while driving a tractor hisbrain kicked in and he knew hehad to be around more people. He knew that the implementcompany would not hire a 20-year-old with no experience, but he gota stack of books for study andsomehow began work. The mid-1980s were a time of high interestrates and drought ... a time of chal-lenge, and he learned the basics ina time of need. During those firstyears, he also started a family.Tough times. “You’re looking, even thoughyou’re in Philip,” said Buchholz ofdifferent interviews and opportuni-ties. In 1990, he bought the land helives on now. In 1994, he startedB&B Sales. In the early 2000s, heexperienced some business growthspurts and never looked back.“Once you get entrenched in the

community, its harder to leave,”said Buchholz. In August of 2008, he experi-enced a crop that was hailed out,some dead animals, and businesspartner Denny Kennedy left workand did not return for a year and ahalf. People in the community gaveencouragement for him to carry on.“It was killing me,” said Buchholz,but “we weren’t going down theroad.” He visited with his employ-ees and was determined to stay inPhilip. “Everybody’s definition of beingsuccessful is different,” said Buch-holz, who quoted Webster’s Dic-tionary “... the outcome of effort ....”Buchholz added his own slant, “Ifyou had ambition to try, even if itdoesn’t work out ....” “Why did I stay in Philip? Nomatter where one is, someone ischallenging you, even yourself. Inthe big city you can get lost in the

grind,” said Buchholz. He referred to a Philip commu-nity discussion on the book “Hal-lowing out the Middle.” “I took per-sonal offense to that book. I felt wewere rated as losers. No formal ed-ucation, just work ethics – if thatmakes me a loser, so be it,” saidBuchholz. “If you enjoy your occupation, it’snot a job. Health, family andfriends – what else do you need,”said Buchholz. He admitted thatyou shouldn’t miss college, espe-cially the social aspect, but, “wedon’t want to brand kids that thereis only the big city and brightlights.” In local AARP business, individ-ual yearly dues of five dollars aredue at the next meeting, Monday,January 28, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. inthe Bad River Senior Citizen’s Cen-ter. At that meeting, the local vol-unteer of the year will be recog-nized. It was reported that theCountry Cupboard food pantry is inneed of donations; any kind of non-perishable food at this time is wel-come. The You’ve Earned a Say pro-gram from the South Dakota AARPcompleted its 66 county tour,recording what people had to sayabout Medicare and Social Secu-rity. The input has been sent to thenational office and will be sent toofficials in Washington, D.C. Alocal presentation of the informa-tion will be given in Rapid City,November 16. Lobby Day will be January 29,2013. A bus will come thoughPhilip to pick up and take inter-ested citizens to Pierre for the dayto meet with legislators.

Complaints that two stateboards violated the open meetingslaw were dismissed by the SouthDakota Open Meetings Commis-sion on Monday, October 29, inSioux Falls. The commission heard separate

complaints against the State Boardof Medical Osteopathic Examinersand the State Board of MassageTherapy related to public meetingsthose boards held earlier this year. A third case heard by open meet-ings commission resulted in a pub-

lic reprimand against the UnionCounty Weed Board. The weedboard did not dispute that it failedto provide adequate public notice ofits May 29 meeting. State law re-quires that public boards must posta meeting agenda at least 24 hoursbefore it meets. The commission is made up offive state’s attorneys. If the com-mission finds that a state or localboard has violated the open meet-ings law, it can issue a public rep-rimand. In other business, the commis-sion elected Aurora County State’sAttorney John Steele as its newchairman, replacing Bon HommeCounty State’s Attorney Lisa Roth-schadl. Steele has served a term ascommission president previously. The commission will meet againDecember 10.

Forty-year celebration

Tim Modde (son-in-law to MarionNelson) soon-to-be living in HillCity, now from Littleton, Colo., LeeVaughan, Philip, Vern VanderMayand Marsha Sumpter, Kadoka.Phyllis Word rode to Philip withme and enjoyed lunch withBlanche Dolezal at the Silver- leafand visited and played scrabbleuntil the meeting was over. Roadswere getting a little snow packedand slippery in spots as we camehome. Tony Harty had coffee andbreakfast out Saturday before com-ing by our place to visit. Good thinghe stopped, Bill was almost late forgoing to the card room, he was nap-ping. Tony used the day to makesome phone calls and checked onhow people were. He visited hisniece, Kathy Brown, in the after-noon. Sympathy is extended to thefamily of Howard (Flash) McGrath.Bill and I enjoyed many a dancewith “Flash” and Elinor. Midlandwas the place to be when ballroomdancing came back in the 1980s. Jessica Gittings came out to theGeorge Gittings' Sunday afternoonto get some stuff and Daniel re-turned home with her. Sunday morning dawned brightand sunny with a brisk wind andwe got to see how much snow hadaccumulated. The temp was 11˚,but felt like a minus 6˚.

Nice Clean Car!

Greetings from cool, overcast,wind still, snowy northeastHaakon County! There is no snowin the air, but we have a nice cov-ering of snow on the ground,thanks to the snow showers thisweekend. I expect that our warmertemperatures later this week willmelt the snow, but for now it iskind of pretty to look at. I have noidea how much snow we got, but itblew around quite a bit, fillingditches and settling into drifts.Last weekend, while the cold windwas blowing and the visibility wasreduced, I was trying to recallthose horrendously hot days we en-dured last summer – trying to re-member why I thought snow andcold might be a good idea. But thesnow is moisture, which we desper-ately need, and the snow cover re-duces the fire danger, which iswonderful. I was even able to burnmy garbage without standingguard over the burning barrel! West River deer season openedlast weekend, so there was quite abit of activity in the area. Therewere many unfamiliar vehicles onthe roads, bearing hunters with or-ange caps and vests, plenty of guns,and all the warm clothes they couldfind. It sounds like many of thehunters were successful in theirquest, which is a good thing. Thedeer season is designed to helpmanage the deer population, andthe management is critical – espe-cially this year when there is verylittle food available to sustain thedeer through the winter months. I have been waiting for more in-clement weather, thinking I mighthave better luck reaching ourneighbors for the news. That hasn'tbeen the case, however. I guesseveryone is just busy! Oh well,there is always next week. Nels and Dorothy Paulson werein Pierre Saturday. They broughthome a new door and window fortheir house, but Dorothy wasn'tsure when it would be installed.Dorothy said they had four inchesof snow at their place over theweekend. Sunday, their friend,Clint Habek, and his sons were outdoing some deer hunting. ThePaulsons have known Clint foryears, as the Habek family was in-volved in BB gun competitions dur-ing the years when Nels andDorothy were involved with theKirley team. Dorothy said therewas no church Sunday due to badweather. Lola Roseth was a member of theelection board last Tuesday. Duaneand Lola's son, Rhett, was homeover the weekend, enjoying somedeer hunting. Gene Hudson also served on theelection board last week. Wednes-day, Dick and Gene went to Pierreand had supper with Rose Elmoreand her daughter, Connie. The El-mores used to do custom harvest-ing in the area many years ago.Rose lives in Alva, Okla., and isdoing very well, even continuing tomanage her own farm there. Shewas in the area to attend a grand-son's wedding. Thursday, Gene wasthe substitute teacher at DeepCreek School, because the teacher,Theresa Deuchar, had the flu. Fri-day, Dick, Gene, daughter ConnieJohnson and grandson Noahheaded to Columbus, Neb., to visittheir daughter, Debbie, and family.Saturday, Gene and Connie at-tended a women's retreat that Deb-bie was conducting near Columbus,and Dick and Noah spent the dayvisiting Dick's brother, Donald. I'mglad to report that Donald is livingin his own home and doing well.The Hudsons attended church inColumbus, where their son-in-law,Cory, is the preacher, and then re-turned to South Dakota later onSunday. Gene said the roads werefine, and they didn't run into muchsnow until they were nearly home.Grandson Wyatt Johnson washome from his studies at SouthDakota State University, takingadvantage of the three-day week-end. One more interesting side-bar – the chickens at theHudson/Johnson place are still on

strike. Julian and Coreen Roseth hadthree of their grandchildren onMonday night and Tuesday, be-cause their mother, Kristin Martin,was busy with a flu clinic at thePhilip courthouse. Their father,Vance, picked the kids up Tuesdayafter he got off work. Friday,Kristin and kids came to the ranchin preparation for deer hunting,and Nick Roseth arrived Fridayevening also. Julian and Coreenhad all six of their grandchildrenSaturday evening while the par-ents were in Philip celebratingAdam Roseth's birthday. Happy be-lated birthday, Adam! When Italked to Coreen Monday, she saidthe house seemed a little quietafter all the activity over the week-end. Lee and Mary Briggs seem to betaking turns being sick this pastweek. Lee was the first to be underthe weather, and Mary got sickWednesday. She spent a miserablefew days at home, and finally wentto the emergency room Sunday.She has bronchitis, but hopefullythe medications will have her feel-ing better real soon. Their grand-son, Chancey Riggle, and a coupleof his friends were at the ranchdoing some deer hunting over theweekend, and it sounds like theyoung men were successful. Shirley Halligan was in townWednesday, attending an altarguild meeting and decorating thealtar for fall. Frank and ShirleyHalligan were in Faith Friday tohelp their grandson, Krece, cele-brate his fifth birthday. Theystayed and watched grandson Jerinplay basketball before headinghome in the fog. Polly Bruce served on the elec-tion board last Tuesday, and shesaid there was a very good voterturnout in our area. When I talkedto Polly Monday, she was enjoyingthe bright sunshine and the crispweather and pristine snow. Shehad to shovel some of the pristinestuff off her step in order for thedoor to open easily. Thursday, Billand Polly had a visit from theirnephew, Aaron Greenwood,LaCrosse, Wis., and their niece,Erica Bruns, and her baby fromPierre. Both Aaron and Erica spenta lot of time at the ranch in theiryounger years. Friday, the Brucesshipped some cull cows to market.Saturday, their son, Andy, plus oneof Andy's co-workers and hisdaughter came to the ranch to deerhunt, spending the night withVince and Katie Bruce. Polly saidthat Vince and Ted Schofield arebuilding a barn for Steve Hed-man – the project just got startedthis past week. Polly also said thatthe fire bar number rang at theirhouse Monday, announcing aplanned burn of the buildings atthe old Max Hjelbanja (I'm not sureof the spelling) place north ofHighway 14, east of Hayes. I un-derstand the reasons for doingaway with old fallen down struc-tures, but I still hate to see themgo. Max and Joyce Jones went toRapid City Thursday to keep a doc-tor's appointment. They had to goto Murdo first to take care of an au-tomotive issue, and they stopped inKadoka for lunch. While at therestaurant in Kadoka, they got tovisit with one of my favorite peo-ple – my mother, Letoy Brown.

Max got a good report from his doc-tor, and the stitches were removedfrom his ear – hope things continueto heal well. Saturday, Joyce wasin Pierre to meet with a fellowEastern Star member. Joyce alsospent some time at the Zonta CraftFair. Later in the day, she treatedtheir four grandchildren to amovie, complete with popcorn, pop,and all the trimmings. It is an an-nual event, and grandma and thekids all enjoy it. However, Joycesaid the cost of the movie and trim-mings was over $80, which waskind of a shock to me. First of all,we seldom go to movies, so I'm notfamiliar with the prices. But I re-member as a kid, it cost me 35cents for a movie ticket and a bagof popcorn – guess that kind ofdates me, doesn't it? Ray and Nancy Neuhauser at-tended the bake sale and steaksupper at the Pierre senior centerSaturday. Nancy said the streetswere very slippery on the wayhome. Marge Briggs submitted the fol-lowing weather data for October,2012: The high temperature for themonth was 85˚ on the second, andwe had two days of 80˚ or aboveand eight days of 70˚ temperaturesor above. The lowest maximumtemperature for the month was 37˚on the 26th. The low temperaturefor the month was 17˚ on the sixth,and we had 13 days of 32˚ or below. Precipitation for the month was.27”, with normal being .99”, leav-ing us .72” below normal, which is63.77 percent of normal for themonth. Precipitation to date for2012 is 10.12”. Normal precipita-tion for our area is 15.88”, leavingus 5.76” below normal for the year. We have had a busy week here atNeuhauser ranch. I was in PierreWednesday to stock up on groceriesand get an oil change. Friday, ourdaughter, Jennifer, and her hus-band, Ross Tschetter, arrived inpreparation for deer hunting.Chelsea's fiancé, Mike Hoy, arrivedFriday also – this was his first deerhunting experience, and he wasthrilled to shoot a nice buck. Hunt-ing commenced Saturday morningwith less than stellar weather con-ditions. Our son, Scott, his wife,Corry, and their children, Marisaand Austin, arrived Saturday tospend the weekend. We had ahouse full of fun, food, and laughterall weekend long – it was great.The grandkids love coming to theranch, seeing the animals, riding inthe tractors, and all the other activ-ities associated with country life.Scott, Corry and kids left Sundayafternoon. Jen headed back to herhome Monday, as did Mike, andRoss left Tuesday. More huntersstarted arriving Monday evening,and it sounds like this will be abusy place for the next couple ofweeks! Today, I am grateful for a warm,comfortable house. When the firstsnow and cold of the season ar-rives, my thoughts go to those whohave no home or warm, safe placefor their family. I always wonderjust how they survive the brutalconditions we sometimes experi-ence. Thank goodness for homelessshelters and soup kitchens thathelp sustain the less fortunate. Iam also reminded to gather thecoats and gloves and any otherclothing that we no longer use anddonate them – perhaps they canhelp keep someone else warm. I hope you will all get out andmake this a wonderful week! Andto those of you who will be hunting,please stay safe!

by James E. KoutzNational Commander of

the American Legion When people think of veterans,

they often think of warriors, butHurricane Sandy offers just the lat-est reminder of the significant hu-manitarian and oftentimes life sav-ing work performed by our veteranson a daily basis. As Sandy was still wreaking dev-astation on the East Coast, AirForce Reserve and Air NationalGuard members mobilized on theopposite coast at March Air ReserveBase in California to trek nearly3,000 miles to assist their fellowAmericans. The Navy sent largedeck amphibious ships off the shoresof New York and New Jersey, whereMarines, soldiers and CoastGuardsmen were busy rescuingstorm victims, rebuilding ravagedareas and providing food and fuel. Memorial Day is appropriately setaside to honor our fallen war veter-ans – those who made the supremesacrifice for this great country. Un-fortunately, we are unable to per-sonally show our appreciation tothese heroes. Veterans Day, how-ever, is intended to honor all of ourmilitary veterans, including thenearly 23 million living men andwomen who are still among us.Sometimes all that is needed is asimple ‘thank you’ directed at theveteran or the family member forhis or her sacrifice. Part of that sacrifice too often in-cludes unemployment or underem-ployment when the veteran’s mili-tary service is over. Companies should understandthat it is smart business to hire vet-erans, and when members of theGuard and Reserves deploy, it isAmerica’s business to ensure thattheir civilian careers do not suffer. We must not forget the uniquehealth care needs of women veter-ans. There are more than 1.2 millionwomen in America today who haveworn the uniform. Women play apivotal role in our mission inAfghanistan. The Department ofVeterans Affairs must adequatelytreat breast and cervical cancer aswell as trauma that may have re-sulted from domestic violence, sex-ual harassment and assault. We must always remember thoseveterans who have given their livesfor us long after they stopped wear-ing their military uniforms. Whiletheir service obligations may haveexpired, their love of country en-dured. Chances are that if you sur-veyed your local police or fire de-partment, you would find that a dis-proportionately high amount of itsmembers are veterans. Men like Navy veteran andBoston firefighter Paul J. Cahill,who sacrificed his life when arestaurant roof collapsed while hewas fighting a fire in West Roxburyon August 29, 2007. Or Washingtonstate trooper and U.S. Army veteranTony Radulescu who was killed Feb-ruary 23, 2012, when he was shotduring a traffic stop in KitsapCounty. When an emergency hits, there isa good chance that it is a veteranwho is first to respond. Whether it’sa school teacher, constructionworker or first responder, militaryveterans take their missions seri-ously. On September 12 of this year – 11years and one day after the worstterrorist attack ever inflicted onAmerican soil – two Navy SEAL vet-erans made the supreme sacrifice

while protecting their fellow Ameri-cans who were under attack at theU.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya.Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woodsknew the meaning of service. In anopen letter to Glenn Doherty, SEALTeam 3 Comrade Brandon Webbwrote in The New York Times: “Istill can’t believe you punched outearly on me, but glad to hear fromthe guys that you fought like a hero– no surprise there ... You shouldknow, your efforts resulted in therescue of over 20 Department ofState personnel. They are alivetoday because of yours and Ty’sheroic action.” Tyrone Woods was described byhis mother as a “stellar SEAL whothrived on adrenaline, excitementand danger.” In addition to hisgrieving mother, Ty is survived byhis wife, an infant daughter, twoteenage sons and countless friends. And it’s important to remembernot only the price that is paid by somany veterans to maintain our free-dom, but the price paid by theirheartbroken families as well. Jour-nalist Abigail Pesta, who is the sis-ter of Glen Doherty, wrote, “Todaywe held his funeral in his hometownof Winchester. During the proces-sion from the funeral home to thechurch, the streets were lined withhundreds of people. Schools were letout; there were bands playing ....

People were holding signs. We haveseen such a show of support, fromboth the town that we grew up inand the nation that we live in. Wefeel so much love.” Scenes similar to what occurredin Winchester, Mass., have takenplace in many other cities and townsacross America. We revere these he-roes because they revered us – theirfamilies, their neighbors, their fel-low citizens. A country is only asgood as the people in it. And a landthat could produce such heroes istruly a land worth serving. While fewer than 10 percent ofAmericans can claim the honorabletitle “U.S. military veteran,” thisspecial group often provides thevital services that enable our com-munities to function. We must heed the words of ourfirst commander-in-chief, GeneralGeorge Washington who said in1798, “The willingness with whichour young people will fight in anywar, no matter how justified, shallbe directly proportional as to howthey perceive the veterans of earlierwars were treated and appreciatedby their country.” Born of their extraordinary ac-complishments comes our extraordi-nary debt. And for those accomplish-ments and for their dedication, wemust always be grateful.

Every day is Veterans Day

Whooping cough cases are on therise and a state health official is urg-ing parents to make sure their chil-dren are immunized. Nationally, 48 states and Wash-ington D.C. have reported increasesin whooping cough, also known aspertussis, through September. InSouth Dakota, cases are up 87 per-cent over the five-year median, with56 cases reported as of October 3.Most of those cases are in school-agechildren and result from an out-break in a school setting. Neighbor-ing Minnesota reports nearly 4,000pertussis cases, the most since 1943,while Iowa reports more than 1,100cases this year. “Pertussis causes uncontrollablecoughing, rib fractures, pneumonia,loss of consciousness and evendeath,” said Colleen Winter, directorof Health and Medical Services, De-partment of Health. “Very youngchildren are at highest risk, withtwo-thirds of kids under age onewho get it needing hospitalization.” The department provides free per-tussis vaccine for children, withdoses recommended at two months,four months, six months, 15-18

months, and four to six years. Chil-dren need the complete series to befully protected. A booster dose isalso recommended at 11-12 years asimmunity begins to wane. The de-partment provides that booster dosefree as well. Winter said the booster dose pro-tects middle school students fromthe disease and increases the ring ofprotection around vulnerable in-fants. Because whooping cough ishighly contagious and spreads eas-ily in the school setting, immunizingthe older age group also helps de-crease the likelihood of outbreaks. Parents can contact their usualvaccine provider to request the vac-cine. Some schools will also bescheduling clinics to offer thewhooping cough vaccine along withthe seasonal flu vaccine. The vaccine the state provides isTdap, which also includes tetanusand diphtheria. The vaccine is freebut some providers may charge anadministration fee.

This year we saw the welcomereturn of over 500 South DakotaNational Guardsmen who had de-ployed in support of Operation En-during Freedom and OperationNew Dawn. These men and women join themore than 72,000 veterans who callSouth Dakota home. Residents in

communities across the stateturned out to show their support inwelcome home parades and cere-monies. This Veterans Day, communitieswill again gather together to honorthose who have served in our coun-try’s military. As we celebrate thisholiday, we not only honor the re-cently returned National Guardveterans, but all those who haveworn our nation’s uniform and sac-rificed so much in service to ourcountry. With the recent passing of Sena-tor George McGovern, we’re re-minded again of the valor of theGreatest Generation. As a youngpilot, George flew 35 B-24 Libera-tor missions over Europe. When his

plane was struck by enemy fire, headeptly crash-landed it, earningthe Distinguished Flying Cross andthe Air Medal. While his actions were certainlyheroic they were not unique. Therewere countless men and womenlike him who bravely answered thecall to serve, placing themselvesinto harm’s way and enduringunimaginable hardships. MoreWorld War II veterans die everyday, but their contributions to ourcountry’s history will never be for-gotten. A common characteristic amongveterans across the generations ishumility. I can’t tell you the num-ber of times I’ve thanked a veteranfor their service and their response

has been, “I’m no hero; I was justdoing my job.” When they makethese humble remarks, these menand women aren’t acknowledgingthat their work is something thatin the past decade only one half ofone percent of the population waswilling to do. They aren’t recogniz-ing that their job pulls them awayfrom their families and puts themin dangerous situations, all so thatwe may live safely in America andthe freedoms we hold dear may bepreserved. If there was ever reasonto be a little boastful, this would bethe time. With this modest attitude, ourveterans may not ask for extra ben-efits, attention or praise, but theyare deserving of all that and more.

While drivers across the stateare packing their winter travel sur-vival kits and getting their vehiclesin top shape, the men and womenof the South Dakota Department ofTransportation are preparing forthe upcoming winter season by wayof a little friendly competition. On October 10, snowplow driversfor the SDDOT took turns drivingthrough an obstacle course as partof the state snowfighter’s ROADeoin Pierre. In the competition, drivers ma-neuvered the plows around obsta-cles that simulated parked cars,sharp turns and other real-worldsituations. The winner was deter-mined by the total points earnedfor completing the obstacle courseas well as a timed truck inspectionto find four pre-determined defi-ciencies. This year’s title went to JohnHuber from the Menno shop, unit292 in the Yankton area. Secondplace went to Jay Boldt, Isabelshop, unit 372 in the Mobridgearea, and third place was awardedto Chad Hintz, Selby shop, unit 371in the Pierre area. A snowfighter ROADeo was heldin each of the four regions earlierthis fall. The top drivers then wentto Pierre to compete for the statetitle. The ROADeos also include

training sessions and safetyclasses, from properly loading atruck to equipment inspection, toemployee health screenings. As winter months approach, thestate transportation departmentreminds drivers to be aware ofsnowplows on the road and givingthem plenty of room to operate. “The plows are providing an im-portant public service and areclearing the roads as quickly aspossible,” said Darin Bergquist,SDDOT secretary. “For the safetyof the public and our drivers,please don’t crowd the plow.” Bergquist said plows travelabout 25 mph and drivers shouldbe patient if they find themselvesbehind one. Snowplow operatorsneed to concentrate on their taskand the road conditions in front ofthem, so they may not spot a vehi-cle trying to pass,” he said. “Blow-ing snow around the trucks may re-duce visibility, so drivers shouldn’tpass unless they can be sure theoncoming roadway is clear of vehi-cles and drifts.” Bergquist also reminds drivers tocheck road conditions before head-ing out. Road conditions, weatherreports and forecasts are availableonline by visiting www.safetrav-elusa.com/sd or by dialing 511.

Old Business:Council reviewed the updated leaseagreement with Haakon County for officerent, noting that the recommended cor-rections have been made. The lease in-cludes office and storage space for boththe Finance Office and Police Dept.

Following review, motion was made byHarry, seconded by Arthur to approve the2013 Lease Agreement with HaakonCounty. Motion carried.

FO Van Lint advised the Council that shehas been in contact with City AttorneyTollefson regarding the Haakon Co. Re-gional Railroad Authority. It was notedthat Attorney Tollefson has agreed toserve as the agent for the authority. Inaddition, the Town of Midland has alsoagreed to be on the board and thereforeit will be a seven person board; two fromeach governmental entity and one at-large member. FO Van Lint will be draft-ing a new agreement for Tollefson's re-view prior to presenting to each entity forapproval.

By general consensus of the Council, theHaakon Co. Regional Railroad Authorityaction was tabled until a draft agreementis presented.

PWD Reckling updated the Council onthe needed repairs to the Lift Station WetWell. He reported that a meeting washeld with the City’s Engineers,Water/Sewer Committee, and Mayor Vet-ter on Oct. 23, 2012.

Mayor Vetter reported that the wet well isin need of repairs, but at this time theyare unaware of the extremity of theneeded repairs. The PWD and City’s en-gineer are working together to locate acompany that is willing to laser test orenter the well to assess its condition inmore detail. He stressed that enteringthe wet well is very dangerous due to thegases and in turn, it is difficult to findcompanies that perform this type of work.Once more information is available, it willbe presented to the Council.

New Business:

Street Improvement Projects:Motion was made by Arthur, seconded byMatt to approve addendum number oneto the engineering agreement with SPN& Assoc. for the bidding/negotiation andconstruction phase of the street surfacingimprovements on Pine St. and Wray Ave.in the amount of $7,600. Motion carriedwith all members voting aye.

Motion was then made by gartner, sec-onded by Arthur to authorize Mayor Vet-ter and FO Van Lint to establish a timeand place for the advertisement and bidopening for the Wood/Walden Ave. Im-provement project with the City Engi-neers. Motion carried.

Airport:Rod Senn, Airport Engineer with Kadr-mas, Lee and Jackson (KLJ), addressedthe Council with airport improvement up-dates.

Mr. Senn reported that the Medium Inten-sity Runway Lighting (MIRL) Design proj-ect is substantially completed and the air-port was reopened on Friday, November2nd, 2012. Those items remaining to becompleted include the control panel,radio control panel and beacon. The con-tractor, Muth Electric, has requested a

time extension to install these remainingitems due to product shipment delaysthat are out of the control of Muth.

He estimates that the control panels andthe beacon foundation will be installed inthe next week. The beacon is not ex-pected to arrive until the end of Novem-ber and therefore, in visiting with the Air-port Committee, they have recom-mended a time extension of December31, 2012, to complete the remainingwork.

Motion was made by Henrie, secondedby gartner to approve the requested timeextension from Muth Electric, Inc. due toshipment delays until December 31,2012. Motion carried.

Mr. Senn then reviewed MIRL projectChange Order #01 in the amount of($3,017.80) which saved the City moneyby allowing the contractor to plow in thePVC conduit in place of the trenchingmethod noted in the project specifica-tions. This was initially approved by theAirport Committee during the precon-struction meeting.

Motion was made by Matt, seconded byHarry to approve Change Order #01.

Mr. Senn went on to recommend renova-tions to the electrical system by adding asecond safety devise to allow more fieldoperations. This is estimated at$1,362.00 of which the City will only beresponsible for paying 2% of that cost,approximately $27.00. If the Council is inagreement with this additional equip-ment, he would recommend including thework with Change Order #02 which willalso include the project extension dead-line already motioned to be approved.

Following discussion, Matt amended hisoriginal motion for Change Order #01 toalso include approving the additionalsecond safety devise in Change Order#02. gartner seconded the motion andmotion carried with all members votingaye.

Motion was then made by Harry, sec-onded by Arthur to approve the MIRLproject pay request #01 in the amount of$129,546.22 to Muth Electric, Inc. Motioncarried with all members voting aye.

Council also reviewed the project statusupdates for the Land Acquisition and En-vironmental Assessment (LA/EA).

Mr. Senn proceeded with an analysis ofthe Airport Committee’s recommendationfor the 2013 Airport Capital ImprovementPlan (ACIP). He noted that annually, theFederal Aviation Administration (FAA)and SD Dept. of Transportation, Office ofAeronautics, require the City to prioritizefuture capital improvement projects atthe airport. This assists both entities aswell as the City in establishing that theneeds and funding sources are cohesive.

Mr. Senn stressed that this is only a planto project future improvements and thefollowing recommendations have beenmade by the Airport Committee. A pro-posed improvement for designing andconstructing in 2013 and 2014, respec-tively, includes a runway, apron and taxi-way rehabilitation as well as access roadpavement. In addition, a hangar building,fueling system upgrade, and a paralleltaxiway are proposed for future years be-yond 2014.

A motion was made by gartner, sec-onded by Henrie to approve the AirportCommittee’s 2013 ACIP recommenda-tions as presented and authorize KLJ tosubmit the plan the Federal Aviation Ad-ministration and the SD DOT on behalfof the City. Motion carried.

At 7:30 p.m., as previously advertised,Mayor Vetter announced that it was timeto open bids for the Airport Farm groundLease for 2013 to 2017. It was noted thatthe lease was re-bid following identicalbids being received during the initial bidopening in October. Mayor Vetter calledfor any bids from the floor. With noneforthcoming, the following bids wereopened.

Robert Berry - $7,070 annuallyEd Morrison, Morrison FamilyFarms, LLC - $6,502 annuallyMichael Noteboom - $7,250annually

Motion was made by Matt, seconded byArthur to approve the high bid of $7,250from Michael Noteboom for the 2013-2017 Airport Farm ground Lease. Motioncarried.

Dakota Mill & grain (DMg) ExpansionUpdate:Mayor Vetter gave an overview of thepublic hearing held on Oct. 23, 2012. Henoted that a great deal of informationwas reviewed from three separate engi-neers, DMg representatives, and com-munity members.

Since the public hearing, a signed peti-tion by forty-two concerned citizens waspresented to the Finance Office on Oct.30, 2012, by Mike Seager. The petitionrequests further investigation into DMg’sproposed expansion plans and theCanadian Pacific (CP) trestle bridge -more specifically, further exploration ofthe possibility of moving the siding to thesouth side of the CP mainline. DMg hasresponded to the petition and a copy oftheir response is on file in the FinanceOffice.

Mayor Vetter expressed his appreciationto Council Member Arthur for taking thetime to meet with some of the concernedproperty owners listed on the petition aswell as the other council members on anindividual basis. The recommendationthat resulted from these meetings, inwhich the property owners agreed wouldbe suitable, has also been reviewed withBart Banks, DMg Attorney.

Mayor Vetter went on to explain that therecommendation includes that of displac-ing the fill dirt around the trestle bridgethat has built up over the years, wideningthe holding basin. DMg could then utilizethis displacement dirt in constructingtheir rail siding which DMg seemed re-ceptive to, but in the same sense, thiswork would have to be approved by theUS Army Corps of Engineers and CP.

Mr. Banks spoke on behalf of the recom-mendation, noting that there is a fine linein regard to the amount of work that is al-lowed around the trestle bridge, from thatof the private landowners to the ArmyCorp of Engineers. If the displacing ofsoil is done on private property, theyhave to obtain permission from thelandowners, but if they enter the riverchannel area, more stringent regulationswould have to be followed. This wouldhinge on first obtaining a Section 404permit from the Army Corp of Engineers.Either way, they are willing to pursue thisfurther.

Mayor Vetter then presented the twoplats that have been presented by DMgfor approval at tonight’s meeting. Thefirst plat is for that area on the south sideof the railroad tracks and is as follows:Dakota Mill & grain Lot 1, being a replatof Railroad Right of Way, Mobile OutlotNo. 1, Lot 2, and unplatted parcels lyingin the NE¼ Section 23, T1N, R20E, BHMband 2; and, Dakota Mill & grain Lot 2,being a replat of Railroad Right of Way,Lot 1 of Conagra Subdivision, Outlot “A”and Lot 1, Lots 1 and 2, a portion of Out-lot B and an unplatted parcel, lying in theNW¼, Section 24, T1N, R20E, BHM,City of Philip, Haakon County, SouthDakota. The second plat is for the railsiding area on the north side of the mainrail line and is as follows: Lot 1, RailroadFirst Addition in the NE¼ of Section 23and NW¼ of Section 24, T1N, R20E,BHM, City of Philip, Haakon County,South Dakota.

Barry Knutson questioned what the platsentail and allow. Mayor Vetter advisedthat a plat is developed following a sur-vey of the land, showing the physical lay-out of a property. A plat approval doesnot warrant any more than a recognitionof the land size, location, and legal de-scription.

Jay Baxter addressed the Council, notingthat DMg’s proposed rail siding is lo-cated in the flood plain area and is alsolocated within close proximity of theSchool’s Barium Treatment ponds/facil-ity. He is concerned with the possible im-pact that the siding could have on the fa-cility as it is a vital resource to the entirecommunity. In his review of the area, hemeasured the distance from the railroadproperty to the ponds and reported thatfrom the center of the main rail line thereis 100 feet and only 22 feet from the rail-road fence line.

Mayor Vetter questioned if Baxter has el-evation data available for the ponds. Ac-cording to Baxter, he is unaware of theelevation of the ponds as well as the sta-bility of its containment cell. He stressedthat DMg’s rail siding may endanger theponds considering the flooding concernsin the area and its close proximity.

Mr. Knutson questioned the regulation ofthe ponds and why they were built in theircurrent location. In addition, has thisbeen considered in developing DMg'sproposed rail siding?

Mayor Vetter confirmed that the SD Dept.of Environment and Natural Resources(DENR) who regulates these types of fa-cilities was contacted at the beginning ofDMg’s project. No concerns were voicedrelative to the ponds in relation to the railsiding construction. In addition, the Cityneeds to use the best available data forthe elevations in determining if there is avalid concern relating to the ponds. In hisreview of the area, it appeared that thetop of pond containment was level withthat of railroad tracks.

Keven Morehart, Haakon School Super-intendent, confirmed Mr. Vetter’s visualanalysis of the pond’s elevation with thatof the railroad. He also reported that theschool’s treatment facility is inspectedannually by the DENR and no concernsfor its stabilization have been reported atthis time.

Mr. Baxter confirmed that he has alsovisited with Midwest Cooperative’sDENR representative in Rapid City andaccording to his source; this has notbeen reviewed as they do not have anyregulations to follow in this respect. Henoted that he has also visited with the en-gineering firm that originally designed thebarium treatment facility and also plansto visit in more detail with the schoolboard.

Mayor Vetter mentioned that if the Cityrefuses the proposed plats, we are refus-ing the entire DMg project. Is this some-thing the community is in favor of?

Mr. Knuston noted that he is not in favorof the City allowing DMg to proceed withtheir project at this time. More in depthresearch needs to be done as to the po-tential effects it could have in the areaand to the property owners. He gave theexample of the City’s Pine St. project not-ing that during the construction, his prop-erty incurred a broken window and thefront steps were cracked. In trying to rec-tify the problem, the contractors failed totake responsibility so he questioned whatwill happen in the instance that damageis incurred to properties with DMg’s railsiding project, during and following con-struction.

Council Member Henrie requested clari-fication from Mr. Banks, DMg Attorney,as to project plans for the rail siding. Willthe west end of the new siding be ta-pered down to avoid water pooling in thearea?

Mr. Banks advised that the plans werereviewed in detail during the public hear-ing and according to the engineers, therail siding will not cause any more flood-ing concerns than already exist in thearea. He noted that the project will staywithin the railroad right-of-way and thedisplacing of dirt will take place furtherwest of the proposed siding. The plansinclude clearing the area, filling, and in-stalling tracks on the north 50 feet of rail-road right-of-way that they are in theprocess of purchasing from CP railroad.This area is the property included in theplat of Lot 1, Railroad First Addition. Healso noted that the siding will end ap-proximately 100 feet from the trestlebridge, allowing sufficient drainage of thewater in the area.

Mr. Baxter stressed that DMg’s pro-posed rail siding is for 28 rail cars and

questioned what will happen in the futurewhen it needs to be expanded or anotherrail line is needed. He mentioned that heis experienced with the railroad industryand more expansion of the rail lines isevident. So in his opinion, this is only thebeginning. With that, he would recom-mend that the Council look toward the fu-ture and consider what will happen ifmore rail lines and/or sidings are war-ranted in this area.

Council Member Arthur questioned theconcern of the barium treatment pondsas during his visits with the citizens overthe weekend, he was under the impres-sion that opening that area around thetrestle would be satisfactory. In addition,he noted that the rail cars on the sidingwill move slower than that of the main railline and in his opinion, the vibrationsfrom the rail line will not increase.

Mr. Knutson mentioned that if DMg isgoing to pursue displacing and gradingthe area around the trestle, why not lookfurther into building the siding on thesouth side of the rail line? He also ques-tioned why the residences that will be af-fected are not being contacted; notingthat Eric Heltzel was not aware of thisproject and it will be in his backyard. Healso asked what the City and communitywill gain from this project. Will it be morethan that of the potential hazards it maycause to the area?

Mayor Vetter questioned Mr. Knutson asto his main concern as he feels the Cityhas taken due diligence with regard tothis project as concerns from the publichave been heard and considered. In ad-dition the City and three separate engi-neers have reviewed the project plans indetail. He noted that in construction;standards have to be met utilizing thebest available data. In this instance, allthree engineers have confirmed thatDMg’s project meets those standards.

Eric Heltzel spoke on behalf of his prop-erty, confirming that he does not read thenewspaper and was advised this pastweekend of the project by Mike Seagerand Jay Baxter. He explained that they(Heltzels) were well aware of their prop-erty being within close proximity of therailroad when it was purchased. Theyhave surveyed their property in the pastthey built an addition on their house. Theproposed rail siding will only be 20 feetaway if it is constructed. In addition, heexpressed concern for the culvert that iswithin close proximity to his property asit does not promote the flow of water.

Council Member gartner remindedeveryone that the property DMg is pro-posing to build their rail siding on isowned by the railroad.

Mike Seager voiced concern for DMg’sproposal to build in front of an existingproblem which is that of restricting thewater flow that occurred when the rail-road filled in a portion of the trestlebridge. Mr. Baxter confirmed that state-ment, mentioning that this is a truly sen-sitive area and the potential ramificationsfrom installing the rail siding need to beconsidered before it is allowed.

Mr. Banks noted that their project hasbeen proven by the engineers that it willnot have any impact on the flooding inthe area and in essence, they hope it willimprove the drainage in the area. The hy-draulic study completed on the trestlebridge was mentioned, confirming that itis in compliance with the industry stan-dards. Again, he expressed frustration asin his opinion; the DMg project is on holdbecause of a problem that is not their re-sponsibility.

Mayor Vetter then questioned what Mr.Baxter sees from his position that wouldsatisfy him in order for this project to besuccessful.

Mr. Baxter stated that he would like tosee DMg take the initiative to install aculvert in the low area. He feels that thiswould show that the DMg is investing notonly with their expansion, but in the com-munity. The estimated additional invest-ment of $100,000 culvert would be seenas a promising investment consideringour community’s standards. He stressedthat this may not be the ultimate answer,but it would make him feel more confi-dent as a homeowner in the area.

Mayor Vetter then thanked the commu-nity members for their concerns, notingthat they assist the Council in making aninformed decision. He then redirected theCouncil to take action on the plats thathave been presented by DMg.

Motion was made by Larson, secondedby Matt to approve the plat of Dakota Mill& grain Lot 1 located in the NE¼, Sec-tion 23, T1N, R20E, BHM; and, DakotaMill & grain Lot 2, located in the NW¼,Section 24, T1N, R20E, BHM. Both lo-cated within the City of Philip, HaakonCounty, South Dakota, a replat of thoseareas as detailed above and authorizesignatures thereon once all other partiesinvolved have signed off on the approvedplat. Motion carried with all members vot-ing aye.

Motion was then made by Larson, sec-onded by Henrie to approve Lot 1, Rail-road First Addition, located in the NE¼ ofSection 23, and NW¼ of Section 24,T1N, R20E, BHM, City of Philip, HaakonCounty, South Dakota, and authorize sig-natures thereon following Canadian Pa-cific’s approval. Motion carried with allmembers voting aye.

Council went on to review the buildingand flood plain development permits pre-sented by DMg for Phase I, grading andleveling of that area south of the main railline where recent demolition of the struc-tures took place.

Motion was made by Matt, seconded byLarson to approve the building and floodplain development permit as presentedfor Phase I, grading and leveling. Motioncarried with all members voting aye.

Council then reviewed the building andflood plain development permits pre-sented by DMg for Phase II, constructingthe rail siding in that area north of themain rail line. Since DMg will be pursu-ing additional options for improving thedrainage around the trestle bridge fromthe landowners, CP, and Army Corp of

Engineers, the permits shall be tableduntil more information is available.

Motion was made by Arthur, seconded byMatt to table the building and flood plaindevelopment permits as presented untiladditional information for displacing soilfrom around the trestle bridge area isavailable. Motion carried with all mem-bers voting aye.

A building permit presented by Mike andDebbie Miller for a propane tank, line andfurnace was reviewed.

Building Committee Member gartner re-ported that the tank has already been in-stalled on the north side of Mr. Miller’shouse, but is violation of the City’sadopted Uniform Fire Code, Article 82,Section 8204.3 which requires propanetanks of this size to be located at leastten feet from any structure, sidewalksand property lines.

gartner visited with Mr. Miller about thepropane tank regulations and the Build-ing Committee’s concerns for the place-ment of his tank. According to Mr. Miller,the tank was installed under the regula-tions provided by Dean Fitzgerald withFitzgerald Oil Co. This included that of in-stalling it at least ten feet away from anignition source. For the record, the instal-lation was not completed by Fitzgerald,but by Scott Miller with Hansen’s Heatingand Cooling.

Council Member Matt questioned whowould be liable for any damages result-ing from this tank location should the Cityknowingly allow Mr. Miller’s tank place-ment even though it is against the firecode.

City Attorney Tollefson briefed the Coun-cil on a previous correspondence withthe State Fire Marshall regardingpropane tanks in violation of the firecode. In her opinion, the City would be li-able for any damages if they approve thetank installation permit when it does notfollow the adopted code.

It was questioned about the tanks thathave been installed in the past that donot meet the code requirements. Tollef-son recommended the City move for-ward with the installations and beadamant about requiring that the coderegulations are followed. She also sug-gested providing the propane supplierswith a copy of the City’s fire code.

Following discussion, motion was madeby Henrie, seconded by Arthur to denyMike and Debbie Miller’s permit as pre-sented, require the tank be removedfrom its current location, and resubmit abuilding permit for the installation thatcomplies with the fire code. Motion car-ried.

Council then went on to review the re-maining filed building permits as pre-sented: Joyce Hart – remove & replaceshed; Philip Custom Meats – 10’x20’portable freezer unit; Sacred HeartCatholic Church – replace sanitary sewerconnection in street; and, Keith Slovek –amend & renew deck permit approved on5/2/11.

The building committee reported thatPhilip Custom Meat’s freezer unit will beplaced on the south side of their mainstructure with a plan to incorporate it aspart of the structure in the future. Also,according to City policy, the Sacred HeartCatholic Church will be required to with-stand the cost of the repair to the streetarea that was disturbed during theirsewer line repair.

Following review, motion was made byArthur, seconded by gartner to approvethe above building permits as presentedwith the understanding that the SacredHeart Catholic Church will repair thestreet as noted above. Motion carried.(Council Member Matt abstained fromthe vote relating to the Catholic Churchstating conflict of interest.)

Council was asked to make a determina-tion as to whether or not the costs in-curred relative to a Special Meetinghosted on October 26, 2012, for the solepurpose of approving a building permitpresented by Dale and Tami Morrison forthe construction of the future D & T AutoParts Store at 408 N. Larimer Avenueshould be assessed back to the partiesrequesting the meeting. FO Van Lintnoted that the costs to conduct this publicmeeting and as established by currentCity policies are as follows: $50.00 perCouncil Member per meeting and $85.00per meeting for the Mayor. In addition,the Administrative time at $16.61 (Fi-nance Officer's time at a minimum of onehour) and the cost to publish the SpecialMeeting minutes in the City's officialnewspaper of $77.33.

A synopsis of the permits received andcorrespondence with Morrison regardinghis construction plans over the past fewmonths were reviewed. It was noted theMr. Morrison was advised that he may beassessed for the costs of hosting thespecial meeting due to the fact that thismeeting was called solely to approve hismost recent permit at his insistence thatconstruction could not be held off untilafter November 5, the date that the per-mit was originally scheduled to be heard.Mr. Morrison did mention that he did notfeel there would have been any problemwith approving his permit if it were not forhis neighbor’s, Don Ravellette’s, accessand drainage concerns. It was stressedthat the main concern with Mr. Morrison’spermit(s) and plans are that he haschanged them on at least three separateoccasions either verbally or in writing andthat the City has a responsibility to en-sure that his construction plans are incompliance with the City’s adopted ordi-nances and building code.

Following discussion, motion was madeby gartner, seconded by Larson to as-sess the Oct. 26, 2012, special meetingcosts to Mr. Morrison as outlined above,for a total amount of $478.94. Motion car-ried.

Council reviewed a request from theHaakon Co. Historical Society for theCity to cover the general liability insur-ance coverage of a park area that theyare planning to develop on their propertynorth of the Senechal Apartment build-ing. It was noted that they are still in theplanning phase of the park and are alsoconsidering expanding their property ifthe City would be willing to cover the lia-bility insurance on the park.

DFO Smith stated that according to ourinsurance agent, the City would eitherhave to own this property or have a leaseagreement with the Historical Society inorder to cover the property under theCity’s general liability insurance. It wasnoted that they are still awaiting a quotefor this coverage.

Motion was made by Matt, seconded byArthur to table the Historical Society’s re-quest until a more detailed plan and in-surance costs are available. Motion car-ried.

grossenburg Implement has requestedthe Council’s permission to host a winetasting on Nov. 20, 2012, from 5 to 8:00p.m. The Finance Office has confirmedwith the SD Dept. of Revenue, SpecialTax Division that this type of event is atthe discretion of the local government,granted that it is not a regular occurrencenor does not include the exchange ofmoney. These types of events are limitedto offering samples of malt beverage andwine.

Following review, motion was made byArthur, seconded by gartner to approvegrossenburg Implement’s request tohost a wine tasting on Nov. 20, 2012,from 5 to 8:00 p.m. Motion carried.

Council then reviewed a request fromDale Morrison for West Central Electricto install a City financed street light onthe existing luminary-ready pole locatedon the north side of his property at 408N. Larimer Ave., approximately 50 feeteast of the west property line.

It was reported that the City currently has122 street light poles that have the lightwattage that Mr. Morrison is requesting.Each of these lights cost the City approx-imately $160.00 per year.

FO Van Lint advised the Council that shehas visited with Jim Nickelson, WestCentral Electric’s Foreman, regardingthis request. According to Mr. Nickelson,the existing service line to this propertywill have to be rerouted and upgraded toaccommodate Mr. Morrison’s new con-struction plans and he is uncertain at thistime if the pole will stay in its current lo-cation. In addition, Mr. Morrison is able toinstall and pay for his own light should hedesire.

Council Member Henrie questionedabout past instances of requests forstreet lights by businesses. It was notedthat during the last seventeen years,there have been two separate requestsof which both were denied.

Mayor Vetter expressed concern for illu-minating a business property. Hestressed that the City’s street lights arefor lighting the City streets and improvingthe safety of the community. It was alsomentioned that the area in and along thestreets in which the light is being re-quested has sufficient street lighting in-stalled that are effectively illuminating thearea; some of these lights are owned bythe City while others are owned by thelocal property owners.

Motion was made by gartner, secondedby Harry to deny Mr. Morrison’s requestfor the installation of this street light at theCity's expense. In addition, Mr. Morrisonis allowed to install a light at his own ex-pense, with the understanding that allfees associated with the installation andany monthly utility charges would be athis sole expense. Motion carried with allmembers voting aye.

Departmental Reports:The quarterly Administrative report wasreviewed with FO Monna Van Lint.

Council reviewed the FY2011 audit re-port as prepared by Wohlenberg, Ritz-man & Co.

FO Van Lint noted that one deficiencywas reported and relates to the lack ofsegregation of duties. This has been andwill continue to be reported as the City isincapable of hiring an individual to per-form each duty in the Finance Office.

She also noted that the audit report hasbeen approved by the SD Dept. of Leg-islative Audit and asked that any ques-tions relative to the report be directed tothe Finance Office.

Council Member Matt congratulated theFinance Office staff for a great job on aclean audit as he has reviewed many au-dits over the years that have been lessthan favorable.

Following review, motion was made bygartner, seconded by Matt to approvethe City’s fiscal year 2011 audit report.Motion carried.

He reported that thelease option is being offered free ofcharge for a term of eight months (March31 to November 1) and includes themaintenance of the tractor being pro-vided by John Deere. In turn, the Citywould be obligated to no more than 250hours of use on the tractor and maintaininsurance coverage on the tractor.

Reckling noted that the tractor would bevery beneficial to the City; pulling the ro-tary mower and oil distributor, to name afew.

It was questioned how much it wouldcost should the City use more than theallotted 250 hours?

Arthur questioned which of the CityStreet personnel are licensed to drive thetruck as it will require a Commercial Dri-ver’s License (CDL). PWD Reckling re-ported that Peterson and Coyle havetheir CDL licenses and that he, person-ally, is in need of obtaining his.

Following discussion, motion was madeby Henrie, seconded by gartner to ap-prove the truck purchase and authorizethe payment of said truck contingentupon it being within the appropriatedamount and the Mayor’s approval. Mo-tion carried.

Several blizzards and ice stormsduring recent winters demonstratehow a major winter storm can af-fect everyone in a large area.Heavy snow, freezing precipitation,strong winds, and cold tempera-tures blocked roads, caused poweroutages, and prevented delivery ofessential supplies and services;sometimes for several weeks. As another winter season ap-proaches, the National WeatherService encourages people to prac-tice safety guidelines to survivedangerous winter storms and pre-pare for extreme conditions by tak-ing the following steps: •Check your vehicle’s battery,antifreeze, wipers and windshieldwasher, ignition, thermostat andtires. •Put a winter survival kit ineach vehicle. It should contain awindshield scraper, jumper cables,tool kit, tow chain or rope, tirechains, bag of sand or cat litter,shovel, flashlight with extra batter-ies, warm boots and a blanket. Forlonger trips add extra clothes,sleeping bags, a portable radio,first aid kit, high-calorie nonper-ishable food, matches and candles,and large coffee cans for sanitarypurposes or burning candles. •Keep an adequate supply of fuelfor your home or get an alternativeheating source. Learn how to oper-ate stoves, fireplaces, and spaceheaters safely and have properventilation to use them. •Add insulation to your home;caulk and weather-strip doors andwindow sills; install storm win-dows or cover windows with plas-tic. •Have emergency supplies athome: a flashlight, candles,matches, a battery-powered radio,extra batteries, and a first-aid kit. •Monitor Internet websites,NOAA Weather Radio, local radioor television stations, or cable TVsystems for forecasts and informa-tion about impending storms. People should also know theterms used to describe hazardouswinter weather and what actions totake for each situation: A winter storm watch means adangerous winter storm is possible.Watches are issued to give peopletime to prepare for hazardous con-ditions before they develop. Postpone trips or take a differentroute. Put a survival kit in your ve-hicle. Tell someone your scheduleand route; call them when you ar-rive at your destination. If possible,travel in daylight and use majorhighways. Keep your fuel tank asfull as possible to avoid ice in thetank and lines. At home; have high energy foodor food that requires no cooking,one gallon of water per day for eachperson, and enough fuel for the du-ration of the storm. Don’t forgetspecial items for your family suchas prescription medicine, baby for-mula and diapers, and pet food. If you live in a remote area, con-sider having elderly or ill family,friends and neighbors stay some-place where heat and electricpower are available. Winter storm and blizzard warn-ings are issued when a dangerousstorm is imminent. Do not travelunless it is an extreme emergency.You are safer to stay where you arerather than risk getting stranded

along a highway. If you have noheat, close off unneeded rooms andwear extra clothes. Do not operatepower generators indoors. Wind chill warning and advi-sories emphasize the increased riskof frostbite and hypothermia dur-ing cold and windy conditions. Stayinside as much as possible. If yougo outdoors, wear several layers ofloose-fitting, lightweight clothingand water repellent outer gar-ments. Cover all parts of your body,especially your head, face andhands. When working outdoors, donot overexert yourself. Removedamp clothing as soon as possibleto avoid becoming chilled. More information on preparingfor winter weather is availablefrom your county emergency man-agement office, the Rapid City Na-tional Weather Service athttp://weather.gov/RapidCity, andthe South Dakota “bReady” web-site http://www.breadysd.com/.

Prepare for winter weather

by Norris Prestonpast national vice-commander

the American Legion The title of the event left nodoubt as to its subject matter.“Veterans Jobs, Jobs, Jobs” head-lined the 24th annual veteransbraintrust gathering September 21in Washington, D.C. American Le-gion Economic Division Deputy Di-rector Mark Walker representedthe legion on a 12-member discus-sion panel. The four hour examination ofveterans’ employment issues wasstaged as part of the 42nd annuallegislative conference and hostedby United States RepresentativesCorrine Brown, Sanford Bishop, Jr.and Charles Rangel. After opening remarks and intro-ductions by the members of Con-gress, three military leaders ad-

dressed the assembly, Army ViceChief of Staff General Lloyd AustinIll, Marine Corps Staff DirectorLieutenant General WillieWilliams and Coast Guard PacificArea Commander Vice AdmiralManson K. Brown. Austin, former commanding gen-eral of the United States forces inIraq, set the tone by saying, “Ourchallenge is to continue to findways that we may better assist ourseparating or retiring servicemem-bers. They represent the very bestof America. They are highly disci-plined, principled, mission-focusedand often mature beyond theiryears. They have learned a tremen-dous amount over the course ofthese wars about the value of hardwork and teamwork and, ulti-mately, leadership. And they’ve putthese skills into practice in some of

the most challenging environmentsof earth.” Brown reiterated the clarion callfor veterans’ employment, notingthe importance of translatable mil-itary to civilian skills. He too notedthat veterans of the Coast Guardhave little difficulty finding civilianemployment as compared with vet-erans of other services. This is be-cause, he postulated, Coast Guardmembers’ experiences in such dis-ciplines as search and rescue andlaw enforcement are readily recog-nized with interpretation by civil-ian employers. The others panelists included thevice president of Veterans Pro-grams at the United States Cham-

ber of Commerce with whom theLegion is collaborating in a ongoingseries of veterans’ job fairs, thechief executive officer of the Cham-ber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIOVeterans Council, the Office of Per-sonnel Management. Representa-tives from private industry, includ-ing Home Depot and the Walt Dis-ney company, as well as other vet-erans’ advocates, rounded out thedozen panelists. Walker recalled the discussion asfruitful, saying, “it was agreedupon that the fight to create a morefavorable employment market forveterans should be one of ‘all handson deck.’ ”
