The outer shell is up for the future D&T Auto Parts store east of Morrisons Pit Stop. In August of last year, Dale and
Tami Morrison became the owners of the NAPA franchise in Philip. The concrete floors were poured in mid-December
and, weather permitting, construction of the new building at the northeast corner of Highway 14 and Highway 73 is
still on schedule. When completed, the north section will be a NAPA parts store and the south bay doors will be used
for drive-through truck tire repair. The small valley on the east side of the lot will be partially filled in to allow trucks
to drive out the east doors and keep on going. D. Morrison has not yet decided what the old tire bays in Morrisons
Pit Stop will be used for. Photo by Del Bartels

The annual summer celebra-
tion called Philip Festival Days
has been changed for this sum-
mer to June14-16.
Brit Miller, president of the
Philip Chamber of Commerce,
stated, Heads up, just to let you
all know Festival Days has now
been changed to June 14, 15 and
16. High school state rodeo has
been moved back two weeks and
will be on the weekend we had
originally planned. We were un-
able to get any pick-up men for
the bronc match and the band
was willing to switch weekends.
Hopefully this doesnt cause
much grief for any of you.
In order to increase its original-
ity and notoriety for possible at-
tendees other than from the local
area, the chamber of commerce
has been gradually working on
the celebration to be known as
Scotty Philip Days. Since the cre-
ation of the increasingly
renowned Matched Bronc Ride, it
and Philip Festival Days have
been associated and have been
scheduled on the same weekend
each June. Philip High School
class reunions have been pur-
posefully scheduled to coincide
with the festival weekend. It tra-
ditionally is one of the largest
draws of locals and visitors to
Philip during the year.
The amount of people it usu-
ally draws to the community
would be close to 2,500, stated
Miller. Rodeo attendance is be-
tween 1,500 and 1,800. I wouldnt
put a dollar amount, but just say
this weekend brings a substan-
tial amount of money to the com-
munity of Philip.
Philip Festival Days to be June 14-16
The students in Jessica Wheelers third grade classroom are working toward per-
sonal reading goals and have received certificates throughout the year as they
have met those individual goals. Then, they set a new, higher goal. Four students
have their pictures up in the gymnasium on the third grade Reading Wall of Fame
by reaching 250,000 words or more; three of those four students have read over
500,000 words. During his third grade year, Reese Henrie has reached the
1,000,000 words goal and has earned his own day. The books he has read in-
clude Call of the Wild, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Diary of a Wimpy
Kid series, just to list a few. Wheeler recalled that Reese is the third of her stu-
dents to have reached the 1,000,000 word level; one was two years ago and one
was about eight years ago. The class held a party for Reese, with his father, Terry,
and mother, Jennifer, joining in on the third grade celebration of Reese Henrie
Day. They had donuts and juice. Reese received a pocket watch inscribed with
his name and the message, May you always find the treasure in books, along
with a certificate that read, There is more treasure in books than in all the pi-
rates' loot on Treasure Island and best of all you can enjoy these riches every day
of your life. Walt Disney. He also received a book signed by all of his classmates
with notes of congratulations. Courtesy photo

The Badlands/Bad River re-
gional team of Stronger
Economies Together will meet for
session number four Tuesday,
March 12, at the Open Bible
Church in Midland.
The gathering will begin with
an optional city tour, including
the newly-renamed Lava Water
Hotel the former Stroppel Inn
now under new management.
Tours will start at 4:15 p.m. from
the church fellowship hall, fol-
lowed by a supper at 5:15 p.m.
The session will begin at 5:30
p.m. and end at 8:30 p.m. Every-
one wishing to participate is wel-
come. To get started, meet at the
Open Bible Fellowship Hall, one
block north of the bank.
As we work together as a
team, we are discovering avail-
able assets and barriers in our re-
gion, said Beth Flom, a Midland
member on the Badlands/Bad
River Region team. Participating
counties include Haakon, Jack-
son, and Eastern Pennington.
The group has already met three
times; once each in Kadoka,
Philip and Wall.
The Stronger Economies To-
gether program is designed to
help rural communities/counties
to work together as a regional
team in developing and imple-
menting an economic develop-
ment blueprint that builds on the
current and emerging economic
strengths of their region. Cur-
rently two regions in South
Dakota are working in the SET
program with United States De-
partment of Agriculture Rural
Development and South Dakota
State University Extension the
James River Valley Region and
the Badlands/Bad River Region.
Seven states are participating in
this third round of SET funding,
which allows for two years of ed-
ucation and technical assistance
to the regional team.
The March 12 SET session will
focus on developing a vision and
measureable goals for economic
development in the region. The
group is still open to new partici-
pants. Contributions from busi-
ness owners and professionals,
parents, educators, healthcare
staff, farmers and ranchers,
elected officials and service
providers would be welcome. Any-
one from youth to senior citizens
are encouraged to be involved.
This process will shape the region
that citizens want to develop for
the future.

Fourth SET session, Midland, March 12
by Del Bartels
The local election scheduled for
April 9 has been cancelled. The two
local government entities the
City of Philip and the Haakon
School District 27-1 have filled
open seats through unchallenged
petitions or will fill them by way of
non-resignation of people in com-
pleted terms.
During the city council meeting,
Monday, March 1, it was an-
nounced that single, unopposed pe-
titions for council members Ward I
and Ward II have been filed. No pe-
titions were filed for Ward III. Bar-
ring the tendering of any official
letters of resignation, the city coun-
cil will remain the same.
The board of education had three
at-large seats reach the end of their
current terms. Board member
Doug Thorson, through a filed pe-
tition that saw no challengers, will
remain on the board. According to
Haakon School District Business
Manager Britni Ross, as of the Feb-
ruary 22 petition deadline, only one
incumbent, Doug Thorson, had
filed for his seat for a three-year
term. A new filer, Brad Kuchen-
becker, will fill a seat, also for a
three-year term. Vonda Hamill and
Mark Nelson did not file for their
seats, which will leave one position
open. That seat will be filled with
an appointment made by the re-
maining board members at the an-
nual meeting in July. The appoint-
ment will be made for a one-year
term. The last school election took
place in April 2011 when Doug
Thorson won the seat previously
held by Bill Slovek.
In old city business, Public
Works Director Matt Reckling re-
ported on the lift station wet well
repair update. Scratched around
and took photos, not as bad as we
thought but still pretty bad, said
Reckling. Council member Marty
Gartner added, We got a couple of
years, but we better get to it.
Mayor Michael Vetter related that
the repairs would involve a cement
and epoxy coating on the inside of
the well. An estimate of almost
$50,000 for just the construction
has been given by Philips engi-
neering consulting firm SPN & As-
sociates. The repairs were tabled
until the next meeting so the con-
tract with SPN & Associates can be
clarified on total liability.
The University of North
Dakotas Pay it Forward program
will have 40 volunteer students in
Philip on March 9 to do volunteer
work for a few hours in the morn-
ing. Pastor Kathy Chesney will
oversee the project, some of which
includes entertainment at the Sil-
verleaf and the Philip Nursing
Home, interior painting, and park
clean-up if the weather permits.
Building permits have been ap-
proved for Marty Hansen to move
a house with attached garage from
319 E. Cherry Street to 501
Hansen Street. He plans to level
the site, place the house on a con-
crete foundation, install new water
and sewer services and a culvert.
The council has approved for
Steven Stewart to remove trees,
deck, porch and walkway, and to
remove and replace a house, as
well as to construct two decks.
Wade Rhodes with Innovative
Employee Solutions has received
permission to offer a supplemental
insurance package to city employ-
ees through payroll deduction. He
said that his Colonial Life is the
biggest competitor to AFLAC.
Mary Burnett with First Na-
tional Agency is continuing to work
on insurance quotes concerning
city property. Currently, the plan is
for most buildings to not be insured
for replacement costs because of
age and condition. The premium is
to also raise from $17,000 to
$21,000.
The Wood Avenue and Walden
Avenue utility and street improve-
ment project had received some ap-
proval from the South Dakota De-
partment of Environment and Nat-
ural Resources. The contract has
been awarded to the low bidder of
Rosebud Concrete, Inc. An engi-
neering agreement has been made
with SPN and Associates for design
and construction engineering serv-
ices. A preconstruction meeting
will be set in the near future.
The E. Pine Street and Wray Av-
enue overlay project has been for-
mally awarded to J&J Asphalt.
The current salaries and bills,
which totaled $112,092.41, were
approved except for a bill from
Haakon County of $2,250 for law
enforcement teletype usage. This
communications program, which
was previously shared by the
county sheriffs office and the city
police, was not budgeted for by the
city. Further discussions will be
held between the city and the
county.
The citys overall revenues for
2012 were $1,768,740. This is bro-
ken down with 28 percent coming
from charges for services, 24 per-
cent sales taxes, 23 percent op-
erating capital and grants, 21 per-
cent property taxes, and four per-
cent coming from state shared rev-
enues, investment earnings and
miscellaneous. Sales taxes brought
in over $407,847, up almost three
percent over 2011. In 2013 up
through February, sales taxes total
over $91,585.
The citys total cost of all pro-
grams and services for 2012 totaled
$1,296,267. This is broken down
with 28 percent going toward pub-
lic works, 18 percent water serv-
ices, 17 percent for general govern-
ment, 13 percent public safety, 10
percent sewer services, seven per-
cent culture and recreation, four
percent solid waste and garbage
services, and the rest on health and
welfare, interest on debts, and con-
servation and development.
Netjets Operational Intelli-
gence/Analysis out of Ohio has re-
quested permission to land a jet at
the Philip Airport. Though an
emergency landing cannot be de-
nied, the airport is not classed to
handle such a heavy airplane even
on an infrequent basis. The as-
phalt is not constructed for that
weight, especially during very hot
summer days and the Philip Air-
port does not offer jet fuel. The city
council wants the company to be
made fully aware that it will be
held liable for any damage to the
airport and that the city will not be
liable for any of the companys
property or personnel. Photos will
be taken of the runway before and
after any such craft land or take
off.
The airport projects have been
reviewed and closeout documents
have been approved. The one-year
warranty on the projects has al-
ready begun.
The citys residential garbage
collection contract will expire May
31. The city will advertise for bids
with bid opening by the garbage
committee on March 28 at 4:00
p.m.
The iron at the citys rubble site
will be salvaged and sold at $45 per
ton. Reckling voiced that the figure
was a pretty good price.
Reckling will finish the swim-
ming pools sidewalk handrail proj-
ect, using materials that match as
closely as possible but can be got-
ten within budget. The city will
begin advertising for swimming
pool personnel for the 2013 season,
beginning with letters of interest
and applications to past employees.
Rates have gone up for fire bar
telephone service used by members
of the Philip Volunteer Fire De-
partment. The service, so fire
alarm calls will ring on the phones
of PVFD members, will now be
$1.50 per phone.
The city will take advantage of a
free lease of a tractor rental agree-
ment with Grossenburg Imple-
ment. The city may use a mower
tractor for the season for free as
long as the city insures it and is re-
sponsible for any damage that may
occur to it.
The council approved allotting a
given amount of water to the vari-
ous entities that take care of differ-
ent city parks. They will see that
their credit balance per month is
going away. If and when the free
amount is used up, then the groups
and organization will be charged
for the over-bill at 50 percent of the
cost per 1,000 gallons used. Council
member Marion Matt said, We
dont want to encourage wasteful-
ness, but I think we want to take
care of our parks. Council member
Greg Arthur said, I agree, we have
to keep it somewhat affordable for
them.
The water department reported
a water loss of over 11 percent for
the month.
The council will meet in special
session, Monday, March 18, at 4:00
p.m. in the commissioners room to
sit as a board of equalization. Citi-
zens are advised that the official
PT-17 form must be filed with the
finance office no later than 5:00
p.m., Thursday, March 14.
The next regular city council
meeting will be Monday, April 1, at
7:00 p.m. in the Haakon County
Courthouse community room.
No local elections in 2013
Iron its in your blood, in your
hemoglobin to be exact.
Hemoglobin carries oxygen to
your body tissues and gives blood
its red color. And, not having
enough hemoglobin can mean
that you cant donate blood.
Fortunately, low hemoglobin,
or iron deficiency, is most often
temporary. It is developed when
too little iron is absorbed from
food to replace iron lost from the
body due to heavy menstual flow,
gastrointestinal disease, or sur-
gery. It can also be caused by eat-
ing or drinking the wrong combi-
nation of foods, beverages or min-
erals. For example, the calcium
in milk and other dairy products
can block iron absorption, so its
better to drink a glass of orange
juice with that steak, and have
your milk a few hours later.
For the upcoming Philip com-
munity blood drive at the Bad
River Senior Citizens Center on
Tuesday, March 12, from 10:30
a.m. to 5:30 p.m., make sure you
have plenty of iron in your sys-
tem. Eating foods high in iron,
like meat, fish, poulty, green
leafy vegetables, peas, beans and
whole grain bread, will help you
maintain a healthy level of iron.
To schedule an appointment to
donate, call Joann Pearson at
685-4050 or 859-2219, 605-342-
8585 in Rapid City, 605-996-3688
in Mitchell, or go online to

are also welcome.

Rural electric cooperatives and
utilities in 12 states will receive
loan guarantees to improve gener-
ation and transmission facilities
and implement smart grid tech-
nologies.
Providing reliable, affordable
electricity is essential to rural job
creation, said John Padalino, act-
ing United States Department of
Agriculture rural utilities adminis-
trator. Upgrading rural infra-
structure sets the stage for eco-
nomic development.
The announcement includes sup-
port for more than $8 million in
smart grid technologies, which help
utilities make efficiency improve-
ments to the electric grid and help
consumers lower their electric bills
by reducing energy use in homes
and businesses.
In South Dakota, two utilities
were selected for funding:
West Central Electric Coopera-
tive, Inc. based in Murdo has plans
to use a $10.125 million loan to
build 46 miles of distribution line,
14 miles of transmission line and
make other system improvements.
The loan includes $314,487 in
smart grid projects.
Northern Electric Cooperative
based in Bath has plans to use a
$20.3 million loan guarantee to
build 303 miles of distribution line
and make other system improve-
ments. The loan includes $902,512
in smart grid projects.
Funds of $30,425 million to help
improve rural electric service in So. Dak.

Well, March 8 is the last day of
the 2013 legislative session, with
March 25 set as Veto Day when
legislators go back to Pierre to de-
cide if we want to override any of
the governors vetoes.
These bills passed the House this
week:
SB151 clarifies the maintenance
responsibilities on unimproved sec-
tion lines.
SB205 puts wolves on the preda-
tor list. It wont apply to the west-
ern Dakotas until the feds remove
them from the endangered species
list, which theyve promised to do
this month.
SB1 revises the provisions re-
garding plugging and performance
bonds for oil and gas wells and to
repeal the supplemental restora-
tion bond requirement. This is an-
other of the bills that came out of
our Oil and Gas Development Com-
mittee summer study.
SB83 designates Welcome Home
Vietnam Veterans Day as a work-
ing holiday. I had my seatmate,
Rep. Brock Greenfield, read a trib-
ute to my brother Sam Marty, who
is a decorated Vietnam veteran.
There were several Vietnam Vets
in the gallery for the commemora-
tion.
SB89 limits the liability of retail
dealers in petroleum products
under certain conditions. This will
allow West River gas stations to
legally sell 85 octane like theyve
been doing for the last 60 years.
SB227 will allow you to legally
carry a concealed weapon on your
snowmobile.
SB6 determines whether factors
affecting productivity should be ap-
plied if the actual use of agricul-
tural land does not correspond to
the soil classification standards.
SB115 increases the commercial
fertilizer inspection fee for pur-
poses of fertilizer related research
and creates the Nutrient Research
Education Council to promote such
research.
SB84 creates the South Dakota
Athletic Commission and provides
for the supervision of boxing, kick-
boxing, mixed martial arts compe-
titions and sparring exhibitions in
the state.
House Commemoration 1025 on
Friday recognizing Saturday, July
27, 2013, as the National Day of

rustling to include sheep and goats.
HB1123 increases the surcharge
on hunting licenses by a dollar to
be used for predator control.
HB1167 restructures the policy
advisory committee for animal
damage control.
HB1168 allows local predator
control districts to increase the as-
sessments on producers for preda-
tor control if the increases are ap-
proved by a majority of the produc-
ers in the district.

Lookin Around by Syd Iwan
Van Cliburn died this week. In
case you dont happen to know who
Van Cliburn was, lets just say he
was about the only classical pianist
to ever become a household name.
This happened back in 1958 when
he won the Tchaikovsky Piano
Competition in Moscow and re-
turned home to a ticker-tape pa-
rade in New York. He was only 23
at the time.
And, to be sure, he was very
good. He started taking piano les-
son at age three when he was
caught at the piano playing some
music hed heard his mothers stu-
dents play. This would tend to
catch a parents attention to have
their three-year-old son sit down at
the piano and play a recognizable
piece. From there, he debuted with
the Houston Symphony Orchestra
at age twelve, and played Carnegie
Hall at age twenty. At twenty
three, he won in Russia. Through-
out his life, he performed for all the
presidents from Eisenhower to
Obama. He tended to play showy
and difficult compositions by Russ-
ian composers such as Tchaikovsky
and Rachmaninoff, and he did it
very, very well and with style.
One thing I hadnt heard about
him until lately was that he had a
memory lapse at a concert in Ft.
Worth a few years ago that shook
him so badly he fainted on stage
and had to be given oxygen. I can
relate to that. Concert memory
lapses are probably feared more by
musicians than almost anything
else. Just thinking about it makes
sweat appear on the forehead. I
should know. When I took piano
lesson in college, the final grade
each semester depended largely on
playing three classical pieces by
memory in front of several piano
professors. This was not a great
deal of fun. Nerves tended to play
up. I went through this process for
eight semesters and luckily always
got an A for the term, but it wasnt
enjoyable.
Even worse was giving a senior
piano recital. This wasnt actually
required, I dont think, but was
strongly encouraged. It involved
playing about an hour of classical
music by memory in front of music
professors, fellow music majors,
and friends and relatives. I played
pieces by Bach, Beethoven, De-
bussy, Liszt and others. My final
number was a flashy Hungarian
Rhapsody by Liszt. In the middle
section of the recital, I played a
Beethoven sonata that ran to
about 15 minutes all by itself in
three movements from fast to slow
to very fast. Luckily, it all went
okay, but it was a relief to have it
over.
As you can imagine, learning
and memorizing an hour of diffi-
cult piano music is no simple thing.
I cut down on the other courses I
took that semester so I could find
enough time to practice, practice,
practice. Some people are blessed
with a memory that, if they hear
things once or twice, they remem-
ber them. I am not. I have to work
at it. As a result, I seldom put my-
self through all that trouble any-
more and just play from music.
Having the printed music in front
of me takes the worry out of things
enough that I can play before a
crowd and not have my stomach
tighten up and churn. A lot of peo-
ple get too nervous to play in pub-
lic, but, after youve been through
a college senior recital, you can
probably handle it.
Unlike Van Cliburn, I was no
prodigy. I had some talent, but it
had to be brought out by a string of
good teachers. Mrs. England
started me out in fourth grade, got
me going, and gave me an interest
in music. When she moved, she
talked Elsa Peck into taking me on
for several years. During my last
years of high school, I took lessons
from Veronica Lakstigala who was
a concert pianist from Latvia. She
had conveniently married the doc-
tor in the next town over. In col-
lege, I had J. Earl Lee who was a
very kind man with a great love for
music. I lucked out in teachers and
am grateful to them all. Music has
been a big part of my life and has
given me much joy.
As I read recently, CAUTION!
Exposure to music may cause sud-
den outbursts of joy, happiness, en-
ergy, creativity, awareness, and
spontaneous healing! Handle at
your own risk! That isnt too far
off.
I did notice when I played for
church last Sunday, though, that I
probably havent been practicing
quite enough of late. You have to
keep right at it or youre apt to suf-
fer decreases in coordination be-
tween eyes, brain, and fingers. Put
another way, if you dont practice
for one day, you know it. If you
dont practice for two days, your
friends know it. If you dont prac-
tice for three days, the whole world
knows it. Guess Id better quit with
this for now and get in some prac-
tice. Fortunately, I enjoy doing
that for the most part so, piano,
here I come.

CEO or president? ... by Del Bartels
The tremendous wind the past few days is coinciding with crunch
days at the state legislature go figure. March 8 is the last official
day, with March 25 for trying to override any vetoes by the governor.
During Calvin Silent Cal Coolidges term as the 30th president
of the United States, his conservative policies of inaction at home and
abroad distinguished the prosperous era between World War I and
the Great Depression. He once stated that the chief business of the
American people is business. He tried to keep the national govern-
ment out of the way of general business as much as possible. Since
then, much history has taken place, but hopefully we have learned
from such things as unbacked speculations during the 1930s stock
market, and from criminal conspiracies such as Enron, 9-11 and the
more recent banking/housing fiasco.
Imagine if the federal government was run like a business. If you
are employed by, say Ford or Chevy, would you drive to work in a for-
eign model? Yet, the U.S. government purchases American flags that
are made overseas. If subsidiary companies the states stay in
business by keeping a balanced budget, then arent they more stable
and more stock-valuable than their parent company that is trillions
of dollars in debt? Isnt America sort of an employee-owned company?
A kids lemonade stand, once the determined owner gets past the
cuteness, is what our government should be. The lemonade mix,
sugar and cups are purchased locally, yet the product is marketable
to local customers as well as those driving through. Any regular
helpers are local neighborhood kids, not someone from the next town
over. If a helper doesnt work, even if she is your little sister, she does-
nt get paid nor gets any lemonade. The table is not imported nor spe-
cial-ordered for the specific job. Just because the cranky lady from
three blocks down wants the lemonade sweeter, minority special in-
terests wont change things for all the rest of the customers. Being
polite, but giving no free handouts, is solid business. The foreign-ex-
change student has to use English to ask to purchase a glass of
lemonade; they came to the lemonade stand not vice versa. If the
bully from across the park wants the profits, talking it over quickly
gives way to a solid smack against his ear with the coin bag. If the
stand is a partnership or a team effort, and it doesnt make money,
then the next days boss is someone else.
They say that certain bosses are the right people at the right time.
Winston Churchill kept Britain viable during World War II. George
Washington, even during the Whiskey Rebellion, kept the new com-
pany of America in business. Otherwise effective leaders, because of
poor choices, such as Richard Nixon, have been fired. Others, such
as Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and Franklin D. Roosevelt
during the Great Depression and WWII, kept the business afloat.
To the Editor,
What is wrong with the people of
our great country that we have al-
lowed a group (Freedom From Re-
ligion) of only 19,000 members to
bully us to abandon our belief in
prayer, the Ten Commandments
and God??
Our founding fathers believed in
God and with his blessings has
made our country into an example
of freedoms of worship, speech or
the press, to peacefully assemble
and to petition our government for
redress or grievances, which many
other countries dont have and
some cant even imagine.
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of
the Constitution were members of
the established Orthodox churches
in the colonies. Many of our build-
ings in Washington, D.C., have
quotes from the Bible engraved in
stone. At the top of the building
that houses the Supreme Court is
a frieze of the worlds law givers
with Moses holding the Ten Com-
mandments in the middle. The
doors to the Supreme Court court-
room have the Ten Command-
ments engraved on each lower por-
tion. Each session of Congress
opens with prayer starting in 1774,
when the Continental Congress
chose Episcopal Rector Jacob
Duch as chaplain. (In) 1789, the
first Congress chose Reverend
William Lynn as the official chap-
lain of the House of Representa-
tives. Each succeeding Congress
has named a chaplain, except be-
tween the years 1855-1861, when
local clergy served as volunteer
chaplains. In recent Supreme
Court decisions, the constitutional-
ity of the chaplains role has been
upheld based on precedent and tra-
dition. Since 1955, there is a con-
gressional Prayer Room, located in
the center of the Capitol just off the
Rotunda, exclusively for members
of Congress to use for communal
prayer and study or private prayer-
ful reflection. the Senate also has a
chaplain who opens the daily ses-
sions in prayer.
I dont understand why every-
thing we have done for over 200
years in this country is now sud-
denly wrong and unconstitutional?
Prayer before meetings, prayer
with coaches and players before a
game, the Ten Commandments
hanging in the schools and court-
houses across the land, should not
be banned by a group of only
19,000 members when a great ma-
jority of the citizens of this great
country dont have a problem with
it. What can we do to stop this
group and others, from taking of
our freedoms?

Dear Editor,
Hans E. Hansen left Philip re-
cently and is not expected to re-
turn. Hans was one of the last liv-
ing members of a group of main
street business and support people
who made sure they left the Philip
community better than they found
it.
If there was a need, these busi-
nessmen gave of themselves, and
raised the money to make that
need a reality. Because of people
like Hans, many projects bettering
the community were completed.
Some of these projects include the
hospital, the nursing home, a
swimming pool and a playground.
They built a baseball diamond, put
sod on the football field, erected a
4-H building, updated fire depart-
ment vehicles and purchased an
ambulance. These people worked to
see the National Guard/School
Classroom Building completed, and
built a golf course. Most of these
projects were done with money
raised locally. Very little federal fi-
nancing was used. Hans was al-
ways one of the first to step up to
the plate when a needed project
was proposed.

Letters to the Editor
by Senator Jim Bradford
District 27
The 2013 Legislative Session is
rapidly coming to a close. Tuesday,
March 5, was the last day for bills
or resolutions to pass both houses.
March 6 -8 are reserved for concur-
rence or conference committees to
iron out differences on certain
pieces of legislation which occurred
between the two legislative bodies.
For example, if amendments are
made in the Senate which changes
the original bill as it was passed in
the House, it will need to be re-
ferred to a conference committee to
work out the differences.
While there were around 600
bills and resolutions filed this ses-
sion, typically just a fraction of
those will actually become law.
One of the most important func-
tions of the last week of session is
the approval of the General Appro-
priations Bill which according to
Statute shall Embrace nothing
but appropriations for ordinary ex-
penses of the executive, legislative
and judicial departments of the
state, the current expenses of state
institutions, interest on the public
debt and for common schools. Any
other appropriations are to be
made by separate bills for special
spending. Whether such expenses
are deemed general or special
appropriations, all must pass by a
two-third vote to become law.
Providing adequate funding to
our schools and community health
care providers has remained a top
priority throughout the Session.
As the General Appropriations Bill
is fine-tuned, now at the very end
of this session, it is our last oppor-
tunity to advocate for spending on
these priorities. Among the many
spending projects still being consid-
ered are requests to develop the
new Blood Run state park, build
a visitors center in Custer State
Park, and expand the Mickelson
Trail in the Black Hills. Altogether,
departments are asking to expand
over 100 positions in state govern-
ment. There are still millions of
dollars in requests to the General
Fund for railroads, the demolition
of old buildings at the Human
Services Center, expansion of a
cyber-security program, ag experi-
ment stations, or dollars to help
counties with roads if new ag devel-
opment occurs. This is merely a
short list of the requests. Its chal-
lenging to keep priorities in order
when many proposals for new
spending seem worthy.
Accurately figuring income is
just as important. Last years over-
estimation of expenses led us to a
$47 million budget surplus for the
year which ended in June of 2012.
Those in the majority seem deter-
mined to leave that, along with the
FY13 and FY14 surpluses, in re-
serves at this point. That $47 mil-
lion would have been of great assis-
tance to schools and nursing
homes. In addition to our General
Fund expenses (our states check
book) we have about $1 billion in
Trust Funds (our states savings
accounts).
Each legislator likely starts the
Session with hopes and expecta-
tions as to how they may play a
role in improving our great state
through the legislative process. As
Legislative Updates
governmental agencies were
equally important the sale barn,
implement and auto dealers, bulk
oil distributors, the grain elevators
and the REA, the excellent school
system, the churches, the law en-
forcement and judicial system, the
city and state highway workers,
the airport, newspaper, and those
in the farm and ranch industry.
Hans work here on earth is fin-
ished, but his legacy goes on and
on. The next time you use any of
these wonderful gifts, think kindly
of Hans and all of those Philip busi-
nessmen and women who worked
so hard to make Philip such a great
community.

Fertilizing Grass
As has been the case following
droughts in the past, many live-
stock producers are short of feed.
While there is a long list of poten-
tial, annual forage crops that could
be planted to help alleviate this
shortage, there are no magic fixes.
There is another solution that may
make more sense to some produc-
ers, fertilize the grass that you al-
ready have.
Perennial grass is a great scav-
enger, and hay land typically has
little available soil N even after
relatively large N applications.
Unless hay land has been fertil-
ized routinely, Phosphorus soil
test levels are typically low in
western South Dakota, particu-
larly on hillsides and hilltops.
In the spring of 2003, a field ex-
periment was established on a
long-term intermediate wheat-
grass field in western Jones
County. The objectives of this
study were: 1. Determine yield re-
sponse at varying levels of both Ni-
trogen and Phosphorus compared
to unfertilized grass, 2. Evaluate
the effect on nutrient content of
harvested grass due to fertilization
levels, and 3. Evaluate cost effec-
tiveness of various fertilization
rates.
The field where the plot was es-
tablished was in the CRP for a
number of years, mostly interme-
diate wheatgrass with a small
amount of alfalfa. No fertilizer had
been applied to the field for several
years prior to beginning the study.
A soil test (zero to six inches) for
the plot area indicated the Phos-
phorus level using the Olsen test
was 3 ppm, which is very low.
Rainfall from April through June
was slightly above the long-term
averages, with about two inches
over normal occurring during
April.
Applied fertilizer P increased
yield, but was not significant until
the 60 lb./A rate. Fertilizer Nitro-
gen rates of 30, 60 and 90 lbs./A all
resulted in significant yield in-
creases over the untreated check.
Added N initially reduced forage
crude protein levels due to in-
creased yield and dilution, where
the 90 lb. N rate increased crude
protein over the check. Consider-
ing all costs at current levels, and
assuming hay value at both
$150/ton and $200/ton, all N fertil-
izer treatments were profitable,
both compared to the unfertilized
check, and to the next lower rate.
The nitrogen trial was repeated on
a new site in the same field in
2004. Rainfall was below the long-
term average. Although yields
were much lower than the 2003
trial, all nitrogen rates again pro-
duced significantly higher yields
than the unfertilized check. As-
suming costs at current levels and
hay value at $200/ton, the 30 and
60 lb./A rates of Nitrogen applica-
tion were profitable over the unfer-
tilized check, but the 90 lb./A Ni-
trogen rate lost money. Assuming
a hay value of $150/ton, all of the
Nitrogen application rates lost
money.
The bottom line is that fertiliz-
ing tame grass with nitrogen can
produce dramatic results, and be
profitable, but precipitation ade-
quate for good grass growth is cru-
cial.

Agriculture Deputy Secretary
Kathleen Merrigan visited South
Dakota State University, February
28, to announce more than $75 mil-
lion in grants for research, educa-
tion and Extension activities to en-
sure greater food security in the
United States and around the
world.
The fiscal year 2012 awards
across the nation include
$3,964611 to the South Dakota
State University, Brookings.
The awards were made to teams
at 21 United States universities to
conduct research that will find so-
lutions to increasing food availabil-
ity and decreasing the number of
food insecure individuals. Merri-
gan announced the awards at the
universitys campus in Brookings,
with SDSU President David L.
Chicoine and Barry Dunn, dean of
the College of Agriculture and Bio-
logical Sciences.
Millions of American house-
holds lack the resources to access
sufficient food, and many of those,
including our children, may go
hungry at least once this year,
said Merrigan. The grants an-
nounced today will help policymak-
ers and others better recognize the
food and nutrition needs of low-in-
come communities in our country,
while improving the productivity of
our nations agriculture to meet
those needs. Globally, the popula-
tion is expected to grow by more
than 2 billion people by 2050. By
investing in the science of Amer-
icas renowned land grant universi-
ties, our aim is to find sustainable
solutions to help systems expand to
meet the demands of growing pop-
ulations.
USDAs National Institute of
Food and Agriculture (NIFA) made
the awards through the 2012 Agri-
culture and Food Research Initia-
tives (AFRI) Food Security pro-
gram. The program supports re-
search that will keep American
agriculture competitive while help-
ing to end world hunger, and fo-
cuses on achieving the long-term
outcomes of increasing domestic
and international food availability
and food accessibility.
This years funded projects in-
clude research at South Dakota
State University to examine com-
munity efforts to encourage
healthy food choices; research at
Purdue University to develop new
strategies to defend against ear rot
diseases in corn. Scientists at the
University of Tennessee will iden-
tify ways to improve milk quality
in the Southeast and enhance the
sustainability of the Southeast
dairy industry. A team at the Uni-
versity of California in Berkeley
will work with tribal groups in the
Klamath Basin in Oregon and Cal-
ifornia to build sustainable re-
gional food systems to aid in en-
hancing tribal health and food se-
curity.
AFRI is NIFAs flagship compet-
itive grants program and was es-
tablished under the 2008 Farm
Bill. The five AFRI Challenge
Areas food safety, global food se-
curity, childhood obesity preven-
tion, sustainable bioenergy and cli-
mate adaptation advance funda-
mental sciences and deliver sci-
ence-based knowledge to people, al-
lowing them to make informed
practical decisions.

Representative Kristi Noem has
announced that she sent a letter to
Secretary of State John Kerry re-
questing he support immediate ap-
proval of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Noems letter was sent in re-
sponse to the most recent State De-
partment environmental report re-
leased Friday, March 1. The report
found no major environmental con-
cerns associated with the pipelines
construction, though stopped short
of recommending its approval.
Its been four and a half years
since this process started and we
have waited long enough, said
Rep. Noem. Middle-class jobs are
on the line and those jobs are being
held up by politics. If we want to be
serious about ensuring our nations
energy security, this project needs
to be approved immediately.
The letter states:
Dear Secretary Kerry:
On Friday, March 1st, the State
Department issued the latest envi-
ronmental review of the proposed
Keystone XL Pipeline. This report
not only raised no major objections
to the pipeline, but also notes that
the Canadian tar sands are likely
to be developed, regardless of
whether the United States ap-
proves Keystone XL.
It has been four and a half years
since the initial application was
sent to the State Department. All
studies thus far, including the most
recent report released on Friday,
show that the Keystone XL
Pipeline will have minimal envi-
ronmental impact and a substan-
tial economic benefit to our coun-
try.
There are no longer any scientific
reasons to reject this energy proj-
ect. I believe its time to put mid-
dle-class jobs and energy security
first. This issue is too important for
politics to get in the way.
I respectfully request that you
act expeditiously to support the ap-
proval of this project. If we want to
be serious about our nations en-
ergy security, its imperative that
this project be approved immedi-
ately so we can get boots on the
ground and people back to work.
Sincerely,
Kristi Noem

South Dakota Stockgrowers As-
sociation has joined with other
groups and individuals in a joint ef-
fort to counter the Humane Society
of the United States efforts to stop
the humane slaughter of unwanted
and unusable horses at a New
Mexico slaughtering facility.
Led by the International Equine
Business Association, the South
Dakota Stockgrowers Association
joined R-CALF USA, the New Mex-
ico Cattle Growers' Association,
and several individuals filed a mo-
tion to intervene in a lawsuit ini-
tially filed by Valley Meat, LLC
against the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Valley Meats' facility has met
all of USDAs regulatory require-
ments to begin operations at its
New Mexico facility, and should be
granted USDAs inspection serv-
ices under federal law, said Shane
Kolb, president of S.D. Stockgrow-
ers. HSUSs attempt to require
further permitting and environ-
mental assessments is accomplish-
ing nothing other than the contin-
ued inhumane treatment of these
unwanted horses as they are being
shipped to other countries for
slaughter in facilities that do not
meet our standards for safety or
humane treatment.
The last United States equine
slaughter facility closed its doors in
2007 after Congress banned USDA
from funding the federally required
inspectors at the facilities. Funding
was restored and Valley Meats in
Roswell, N.M., has been trying to
open its facilities ever since. In its
original suit, Valley Meat alleges
that USDA is refusing to provide
final inspection services for horse
slaughter. The HSUS intervened in
the lawsuit and made a motion to
dismiss the entire suit in an at-
tempt to block all horse slaughter
in the United States.
S.D. Stockgrowers filed as an in-
tervener in the suit this week, and
in an affidavit filed with the court,
argued that a continued ban on
equine slaughter in the United
States will lead to more inhumane
treatment of unusable and un-
wanted horses that are currently
being transported long distances to
Canada and Mexico, are creating a
burden for producers as those ani-
mals have no market value, and
are increasingly dying, starving or
being abandoned at taxpayer ex-
pense.
Stockgrowers is very disap-
pointed that HSUS is willing to
block the humane slaughter of
horses while these unwanted ani-
mals continue to suffer during long
hauls to other countries or even die
abandoned and hungry on our pri-
vate and federal lands, said Kolb.
We are proud to be a part of this
lawsuit that supports the humane
and dignified treatment of horses.
S.D. Stockgrowers join support
for humane horse slaughter

shore?
February 24, at Somerset Court,
we had church with Rev. Richard-
son. Mrs. Richardson came along
and Jack Humke was here to play
the piano for hymn singing. We
sang, Jesus Loves Me, My Faith
Looks Up to Thee, and I Love to
Tell the Story.
The Coull band entertained us at
Somerset Court Saturday. There
were two guitars, a violin, a banjo,
a ukulele and a bass. There were
four ladies singing. We liked their
music. We hadnt heard Red
Wing for a while. We enjoyed
Glory Train, Keep On the Sunny
Side, Mansion Over the Hill Top,
I Saw the Light, That Old Coun-
try Church, and Will the Circle
Be Unbroken? Lynn Greff, a band
member, is the son of Somerset
Court resident, Grace Tillery.
Susan, Sandy and Jade and other
staff members were present to
arrange seating and serve brown-
ies at a social time after the pro-
gram. There was a good crowd of
residents who attended.
Somerset Court resident, Ken
Monette, has written a short tale
about his trip to the Philippines as
a United States Navy lad. He
writes vividly of his adventures
watching tiny fluorescent fish that
made the night sea look like a
starry sky, of climbing down scaly
ropes with a full backpack and
bedroll into landing boats. He de-
scribes a tropical storm that tore
loose three of the cables holding the
pile driver in place, leaving the
crew swinging by one cable when
the storm passed. They were build-
ing dolphins. I must ask Ken
what a dolphin is. He portrays
the lushness of the tropical islands.
The natives, where they were sta-
tioned for a couple months, pre-
sented them with a bola encrusted
with mother of pearl, and a map of
the Philippines on linen woven
from strips of bark of a native tree.
The Philip Festival Days date
has been changed to June 14, 15
and 16, 2013. Nancy Seager Ek-
strum recently sent my daughter,
Carol Vogan, Colorado Springs,
Colo., a notice. We sometimes try to
meet at the Philip Festival Days
for a family get-together.
At Somerset Court, Bill and Sue
Stone visited Danni and Ben Sat-
urday at lunch time. They are
Bens little brother and sister. Bill
is also Bens adopted son.
Somerset Court resident, Irene
McKnights, son, Stan, had a heart
attack Friday at his ranch while
working cattle. Saturday, after sur-
gery at a Sioux Falls hospital, he
was able to speak to his mother on
the telephone.
My granddaughter, Doneen
Denke Fitzsimmons, Cody, Wyo.,
wrote a nice St. Valentines letter
with photos. Doneen has a distinc-
tive style of manuscript which I
have always admired. Thank you,
Doneen.
The oldest living person on my
Palmer family tree, Anna Coit, of
65 Denison Hill Road, North Ston-
ington, CT, age 104, wrote me a
good letter in her legible handwrit-
ing! She asks if coffee is still five
cents at Wall Drug. I had sent her
one of Crystal Denke Jacksons
cards showing Virgils highway
sign, Coffee Still 5 Cents Wall
Drug. She is planning to put the
card in the next Palmer Vidette,
a leaflet newspaper that Anna
helps publish. Anna always writes
about the Pachunganuck House
which is a Palmer family property.
Anna remembers that in 1946 she
and her husband, Pete, went to
Wall Drug and they bought an In-
dian rug and a fake rattlesnake.
Somerset Courts computer room
has excellent new speakers for use
of residents and staff. Thank you,
Somerset Court. Just recently. we
received a new printer. Also a joy
to use.
Happy birthday to my grand-
daughter, Crystal Denke Jackson,
Huntington Beach, Calif., Febru-
ary 24.
Author Nicholas Sparks is on the
new best seller list with his book,
Safe Haven. Somerset Court res-
ident, Joanne Manlove, can recom-
mend Nicholas Sparks book, The
Choice.
Monday, February 25, at Somer-
set Court, we had donuts that the
donut shop brought in. We sat
around with our crullers and other
goodies. Sandy brought us coffee to
go with them.
Maxine Kilmer brought me her
sheet music for Red Wing, a song
we hadnt thought of for years. The
Coull band played Red Wing. My
brother, Richard, was 15 years
older than I was and when I was 10
or 12 he said he would give me 50
cents to learn to play Red Wing. I
did get the 50 cents! But, I only re-
member fragments of the song.
Now with a copy of Maxines sheet
music, I can practice again.
My son, David K. Hansen, Ft.
Pierre, brought his two grandchil-
dren, Tiger, five, and Cecelia, going
on three, over to play Monday. We
rolled, threw and kicked the little
ball and the big ball up and down
the hall. One time, Tiger kept both
balls and Cece let everybody know.
Sharon and a resident or two came
by to see if we were mean to her,
but she was only mad. Tiger
counted out 20 nickels for me to
take to Sandy for my treat from the
donut shop. David was reading
Kon Tiki by Thor Heyerdahl. I
asked to be next on the list to read
it.
The Rapid City library phoned
today to ask what books I wanted,
so I asked for The Choice and
Safe Harbor by Nicholas Sparks,
and for Gone With the Wind. The
librarian said she would hold it for
me when it comes in.
The Somerset Court movie on
February 25, was the Steven Spiel-
berg movie, The Color Purple. It
was so miserable, I wonder if good
was accomplished by its produc-
tion.
My horoscope for February 25
said, Reach out to someone at a
distance whom you admire. That
must be Anna Coit, my 104-year-
old Connecticut relative
Fred Smith mentioned that the
old Earl Gabriel place over on the
creek west of Floyd Gabriels had a
hot spring or well.
Tuesday, February 26, 2013, at
Somerset Court, we had bean bag
toss with Sandy and Susan picking
up bags and keeping score. Thank
you, girls. Players were Floy, Kay,
Mildred Y., Irene Cox, Marge Self,
Lucille Huether, Bert S., Irene
McK., Mary Lou, Marilyn B., Fred,
Ida L., Monica Gavotti, Jim
Holmes, Addie R., Maxine Kilmer,
and Vivian Hansen. Marilyn B.
won the first game and Mary Lou
Peters won the second. They re-
ceived Somerset bucks for winning
and all players received bucks for
playing.
Tuesday afternoon, we had Som-
erset Court bingo with Sandy call-
ing the numbers. Winners were
Irene Arbach, twice, Mary Lou,
Dwight, Irene Cox, Fred, Maxine,
and Jim Hilton. Following bingo,
we had the Somerset Court birth-
day bash for those residents who
had birthdays in February. Pat
Staleys was February 2, Mildred
Kraemer, February 13, Father
Paul Dahms, February 14, Lila
Betten, February 17, and Maxine
Burgess, February 28. We had
vanilla ice cream and a huge two
layer chocolate cake of light and
lovely texture. It was made by
Somerset Court chef and baker,
P.J. We sang happy birthday, God
bless you.
Later, a few of us played quid-
dler until supper time. We need a
new game. Maybe we can play
chicken foot that my grandkids
used to play. You use the pretty
white double nine dominoes with
colored dots. I need help remem-
bering how it goes. Anyway, you
build around one domino in six di-
rections. The pattern will take dif-
ferent shapes to keep it on the
table. I will try to email some of the
kids and get instructions. (Oh, I
Googled it up and printed off four
pages of instructions.)
Somerset Court resident Lucille
Huether had company after bingo
on February 26, 2013, the Rev-
erend Curtis Garland, who is pas-
tor of the First Lutheran Church at
Wall.
Wednesday, February 27, we re-
ceived the new Somerset Court
schedule for March. It listed the
March movies, Ocean 11, Coal
Miners Daughter, City Slickers,
and Armageddon. I was glad to
see that we are scheduled to have
quilting on March 9. Other high-
lights listed were dress in blue,
make shamrocks with Susan, resi-
dent council, foot clinic, wear
green, bingo with the Boys Club
and an Easter party.
Recently, I received a hand typed
letter from my son, David Hansen.
Not an electric typewriter, not a
computer. He has this Underwood
- Olivetti, that they gave him when
he was an enlisted soldier working
as a clerk in the Pentagon. They
wanted all their people to have
electric typewriters. He has had it
since 1973. He relates a little inci-
dent which shows how sometimes
there is a possible solution or fix for
a problem. Out at Houck ranch, the
electric typewriter drive belt was
broken. David found that an O
from a hydraulic cylinder fit and
stretched enough so that it could
work. His letters are so full of his
varied experiences that I keep
them to read over.
On Wednesday, we played quid-
dler until we were stiff. Then we
tried chicken foot domino game,
but I didnt remember enough
about it. We had the instructions,
but it may take a while to get used
to it. If we can keep interested that
long.
M.R. Hansen came over to bring
two books by Thor Heyerdahl for
David Hansen: AKU-AKU and
The R A Expeditions. David has
been reading Kon-Tiki and was
entranced.
Thursday, February 28, at Som-
erset Court, we had Wii bowling
with scores as follows: Fred Smith,
161, Irene McKnight, 159, Eileen
Tenold, 135, Mary Lou Peters, 129,
Susan, 183, Marilyn Butts, 137,
Addie Rorvig, 168, and Irene Cox,
105.
At Thursday bingo, winners were
Mary Lou with two blackouts, An-
netta Hansen, twice, Maxine
Kilmer, Betty Downen, Fred
Smith, Marilyn Butts, Lucille
Huether, Helen Amundson, Vi
Walker and Irene Cox.
For snack and chat following
bingo, fruit cocktail parfait was
served.
A busy table of quiddler went on
until nearly 5 p.m. with Addie
Rorvig, Marcella Kraft, Mary Lou
Peters and Vivian Hansen playing.
Rummi-cube was played at that
time also with Susan, Sandy, Mar-
garet and Irene Cox. We have some
new photos of residents in the
photo book on the coffee table by
the fireplace.
Congratulations to Joyce Astle-
ford who won the big cuddly teddy
bear by guessing closest to the
number of Valentine hearts in the
big jar. Now the big jar sits there
with a scoop and we may help our-
selves.
Fred Smith came over and let me
listen to a poem he had about the
South Dakota Badlands on a talk-
ing book. Thank you, Fred.
M.R. Hansen and his wife, Bar-
bara, will be gone to Bogota, Co-
lumbia, South America, from
March 2-9. Four students from
South Dakota School of Mines will
be going on the trip. They meet
with engineers and scientists
abroad. Students will stay with
local sponsoring families and M.R.
and Barbara will stay at college
dorms. They will visit rural areas
and a cathedral which has been
built in a former salt (Halite) mine.
Much time will be spent exchang-
ing experiences with student
groups and research groups. It is
hoped to build rapport leading to
cooperation in future projects of
value to both countries.

I made a trip to Philip to get my
income tax done and had lunch
downtown. While I was eating,
Marvin and Vicki Eide came in and
joined me, they were in town for re-
pairs. Jack and Arlyce Griesel were
also enjoying lunch and Jack came
over and visited for awhile. Of
course, it was the usual farm talk,
weather, cows and what was going
to happen if it stays dry, which is
on everybodys mind these days.
Kathy Gottsleben was in Philip
for a few days visiting her mother,
Myrna.
I stopped at Bud and Dorothy
Sticklers for a visit. Bud fell on
January 16 and broke his left leg
just above the knee. He had sur-
gery on his knee but it wasnt hurt
in the fall. Bud said he would be
laid up for a while. He cant put
any weight on that leg for five
months. He has home health com-
ing in to help him each day. He
said they were doing fine and
Dorothy was busy cleaning her
stove. They both are looking for-
ward to when he can be up and
about again. They have a good out-
look on it all.
Henry and Nellie Chapell, Ruth
Anderson, Bob and Kathy
Hamann, Mike and Judy Melvin,
and Mary Eide were all at Jim and
Norma Oldenbergs for lunch. Ruth
had an appointment at the Philip
clinic and all waited to see how
everything went for her, then they
were off to visit at the nursing
home. I stopped to see Dorothy
Urban and Rita Ramsey, Vicki
Eide and Christa Fitch were also
there visiting her.
Marvin and Vicki took me to
Rapid City for my six-month check
up following my eye surgery. I had
a good report. While we were there,
Mike and Judy Melvin and Jim
and Norma Oldenberg came. Jim
was having eye surgery that day.
Jims surgery went well and he has
returned to work and is doing good.
Marvin, Vicki and Mary Eide
went to Wall Saturday to a
wrestling meet to watch the grand-
children and nephews wrestle.
They also enjoyed visiting with and
watching others from Philip who
were there. Layton Terildsen, Colt
Terkildsens son, was competing
and his family was all there to
watch him. There were lots of
Philip boys there and they all did
well. Our grandsons, Colby and
Keagan, came home with first
place, so they will go on to Rapid
City to wrestle and if they place
first, second or third, they will go
on to the state meet. Parents are
kept busy getting them everywhere
they need to be.
Kieth and Debbie Smith spent
from March 1 - 3 at Harrisburg,
near Sioux Falls, with Luke and
Cassidy Ayotte and two girls. They
said that they had a good time and
of course they enjoyed those grand-
children!
Tucker and Jess Smith are just
staying home with the boys. Jess
said she liked to just stay home so
the boys will not catch any of the
colds and other bugs that are going
around. It is hard on babies to get
sick when they are little. She said
they already have three calves and
were not supposed to start till the
15th. So many have said that they
had a lot of calves earlier than they
were supposed to this year, I know
Marvin did.
Donna Newman is spending a
few days helping out at Mike
Schulzs while his wife is away.
Debbie Clements said that she
and Mike are just keeping busy
going back and forth to work each
day, Mike at Grossenburgs and
Debbie at the post office.
Janet Lurz, Barb Coy and Phyl-
lis Ramsey all were in Hot Springs
to a spa retreat that they go to each
year. Phyllis rode back to Philip
with Barb Coy as Doug has been
spending a few days with his
mother, Rita Ramsey. Barb came
back to this area to spend a few
days with her dad, Rich Smith.
Weather is terrible today. They
had forecasted the wind to blow up
to 70 miles per hour. It sure has
created a dust storm. Marvin
stated that this morning that his

Keith Herrman_________________________________
On February 26, 2013, Keith
Herrman heard the words, Well
done thou good and faithful ser-
vant, as he entered into the joy of
the Lord. A longtime resident of
the Connell, Wash., area, Keith
will be greatly missed by many.
He was born on September 29,
1922 in Philip, S.D., to Leroy and
Hazel Heiens Herrman. Keith
spent his childhood on his familys
farm and ranch in the Philip area
and attended rural schools along
with his younger sisters. At the
age of 16, Keith boarded in Philip
with other rural students and at-
tended Philip High School during
his freshman year. In 1939, after
several long years of drought in
the 1930s, his family moved to
Nyssa, Ore., and settled on land in
the new Owyhee Irrigation Proj-
ect.
Keith graduated from Nyssa
High School in 1942 as the class
salutatorian and was honored with
the Union Pacific college scholar-
ship, but it was the war years. A
ruptured appendix kept Keith
from active duty in WWII, with the
newly discovered sulfa drugs sav-
ing his life. Instead, he and his
family maintained their family
dairy as part of the war effort. In
1948, Keith attended Oregon State
University for one term, but real-
ized that his real love was family
farming, and returned home to
Nyssa to continue farming there.
In 1953, Keiths interest turned
to the Columbia Basin of Washing-
ton when he stayed with friend,
Kenneth Matson, while raising
beans on 40 acres in the Quincy
area. Keith commuted from
Nyssa to Quincy in a Cessna 140
that he co-owned with four others,
which marked the beginning of an-
other lifelong interest flying.
Keith began to look for land in the
Columbia Basin Project while con-
tinuing to farm in the Nyssa area.
In late 1953, Keith met the fu-
ture love of his life, Anna Bauman,
daughter of Otto and Louella Bau-
man who owned the Allis-
Chalmers dealership in Nyssa.
Anna was teaching school just for
a year or two before she intended
to return to her childhood home-
town of Grand Junction, Colo.
Keith convinced Anna to stay in
the Nyssa area and they were mar-
ried on August 17, 1957. Keith had
purchased land in eastern Wash-
ington and Keith and Anna trav-
eled to Connell on their honey-
moon to begin the process of land
leveling and putting in a cover
crop for their new farm in Block 18
of the Columbia Basin Irrigation
Project.
In the early days of farming in
Block 18, Keith was a helpful
neighbor to many of the surround-
ing farmers. Although many have
preceded him in death, those early
pioneers of irrigated farming
helped each other through the tri-
als of taming the land and learn-
ing how to manage the unique
soils of the Columbia Basin.
Keith was an innovative farmer,
always striving to improve his
land, equipment and processes. He
was selected as the Washington
State Conservation Farmer of the
Year in 1961 by the Soil Conserva-
tion Service. Over the years, Keith
grew many different crops, includ-
ing beans, sugar beets, potatoes,
seed wheat, seed corn, radish and
carrot seed, and many different va-
rieties of vegetable and reclama-
tion grass seed.
In 1982, Keith and Anna formed
Herrman Northwest, Inc. and
Keith served as president until his
death. The farming business that
Keith and Anna formed has grown
and is still going strong under the
management of their children.
Keith and Anna were also active in
the Franklin County Farm Bureau
for many years. In 1985, Keith
served as president, and was ac-
tive in many local and national is-
sues that affected small business
and the farming community.
Keith and Anna were charter
members of the First Baptist
Church of Connell where Keith
served as a deacon until the last
few years. Keith had a deep and
abiding faith in Jesus Christ and
introduced many friends and fam-
ily to Christ. Keith was instrumen-
tal in building the current sanctu-
ary building and was always will-
ing to help others behind the
scenes. Keith was a generous per-
son and supported many different
missionaries and missions to
spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ
and to aid those less fortunate
than himself. He always gave God
the glory for any successes that he
had.
Keith and Anna were also active
in the Flying Farmers where Keith
found others who loved aircraft
and flying. Keith owned three dif-
ferent aircraft during his life and
his daughter, Robin still flies his
Cessna 182 that he loved so much.
In 2006, Keith received the presti-
gious Wright Brothers Master
Pilot Award presented by the FAA
for over 50 years of safe flight. He
made his last flight as pilot in com-
mand in 2003 at the age of 81.
He is survived by his wife Anna;
his children, Paul (Cynthia) Her-
rman of Mesal Wash., Robin Her-
rman of Connell, Wash., Heidi
(James) Matsumura of Cashmere,
Wash.; his sisters, Angela (Fred)
Flory of McMinnville, Ore., Ellen
Gregg of Missoula, Mont., Ruth
(Duane) Buchtel of Walla Walla,
Wash.; his brother-in-law, Colin
Hamberg of Estero, Fla.; his five
grandchildren, Jason (Asa) Her-
rman, Sarah Herrman, Jenna Her-
rman, Brian Matsumura and
Keith Matsumura; and his loving
caregivers, Kerri Malbeck, Lucy
Ezquivel, Leticia Marroquin, Neta
Taimani, Romelia Borrego and
Miriam Longoria.
He was preceded in death by his
parents and sister, Harriet Ham-
berg.
Special thanks are also given to
cousin Craig Millage and nephew
Kelly Gregg for their faithful assis-
tance in Keiths care.
Graveside services for family
will be held at Mountain View
Cemetery in Connell, Wash., at
10:30 on Saturday, March 9.
A memorial service will be held
at First Baptist Church beginning
at 11:30, also on March 9th. The
church is located at 664 North Co-
lumbia Avenue in Connell.
Stevens Funeral Home has set
up a website with additional infor-
mation and an online guest book.

Elinor M. McGrath______________________________
Elinor Marie McGrath was born
November 12, 1923, in Custer,
S.D., to Oliver and Margaret King.
Elinor passed away on February
13, 2013.
At age two, Elinor moved to
Philip and lived with her grand-
parents, Edwin and Sara King.
She lived there until she was 12
years old. At the age of 12, she
moved to California to live with
her mother and stepfather, Mar-
garet and Raymond Jackson.
When Elinor was 19, she returned
to South Dakota where she met
and married Howard McGrath.
Howard and Elinor were blessed
with a loving marriage of 60 years
until Howards death on November
1, 2012. Together, Elinor and
Howard raised five children in
Philip. They lived in Philip until
Howard retired in 1991, at which
time they moved to Battle Moun-
tain, Nev., to be closer to their chil-
dren.
Elinor was well known for the 20
plus years of baking beautiful wed-
ding cakes and cakes for almost
any occasion. She loved to ball-
room dance, hold card parties, and
host morning coffee seven days a
week for all her friends. It was an
ongoing joke that Elinor was the
owner of the first coffee shop in
Philip. Even though no one ever
paid for a single cup, the pot of cof-
fee was never cold.
Elinor touched many lives and
passed on many life lessons. She
will be missed greatly by all who
knew her.
Elinor is survived by her stepfa-
ther, Raymond Jackson; her sis-
ters, Sharon Bless and June Skog;
her children, Clara (Lyle) Hamil-
ton, Linda (Howard) Thiesse,
Diane (Jerry) Engelson, Cheryl
(Gordon) Hunt, and Daniel (Julie)
McGrath; her grandchildren, Judi
Trobee, Shane Szarkowski, Brian
(Samme) Engelson, Jerome (Kat-
rina) Engelson, Teri (Chris)
Spring, Carrie (Ryan) Hunt-Raley,
Tiffany (Dave) Ghering, Randi
(Mike) Hunt-Schwartz, Marcie
(Pat) Richards, Kheidi McGrath,
Heather Allard, Samantha Allard;
her great-grandchildren, Breven
Engelson, Ryan, Kaylen, Macyn,
Elijah Engelson, Mikey Spring,
Christopher, Madison Raley,
Noah, Emma, Eli Ghering, Rob,
Rylee Hamilton and Easton
Schwartz.
Elinor was preceded in death by
her husband, Howard A. McGrath;
her mother, Margaret Jackson; fa-
ther and stepmother, Oliver and
Ester King, sister, Bonita Langley,
daughter, Elizabeth McGrath; son,
John McGrath; grandson, Scott
Hamilton; and great-granddaugh-
ter, Alexis Raley.
The family will be returning to

The weekend was so nice and
then came Monday! Oh, my, did
that wind blow. It blew the whole
day. The dirt was fogging. Im
thinking we need to make that day
as March coming in like a lion. You
know the saying about March com-
ing in like a lion and going out like
a lamb, or, vice versa. We got a lit-
tle rain around 9:30 Sunday
evening. It started out as if it was
really going to rain and then just
like that it quit. Saturday after-
noon and evening, Jerry and I had
a most enjoyable visit with Dick
and Gene Hudson. Philip librarian
Annie Brunskill is working at get-
ting the history and locations of
country schools in the Haakon
County area. She sent a map home
with me with little black dots on
that map of where schools had been
and some still are. Thinking Dick
would most likely know where
some of those schools were, we gave
him a call. Long story short, Gene
suggested Jerry and I come to their
place and we could discuss those
schools face-to-face. So, we did.
Dick is one of those people with a
photographic memory. I found it
especially interesting to learn the
Stony Butte School had originally
been south of the place of Iver and
Caroline (Olson) Sandbo. T. J.
Gabriel and his family are now liv-
ing on the former Sandbo place. I
knew my mom and her siblings had
gone to the Stony Butte School, but
I realize now, a piece of the puzzle
had been missing. When learning
that school had been south of
Sandbos at one time, I realized
that was the site it was on when
they went to that school. For you
see, later mom taught school at the
Stony Butte School and she, my
brother, Phil, and I lived in the
school cottage and it was during
that time Phil and I would gradu-
ate eighth grade from that school.
That school had been moved to the
butte from which it got its name
and I had just assumed it was on
that site when mom and her sib-
lings attended that school. The
school was moved two more times,
making it more convenient for the
students going to that school, at
the time. One move was closer to
the ranch of Roy and Clara Roseth.
From there it was moved to its
present location and has been re-
named the Deep Creek School with
Theresa Deuchar as the teacher.
Gene suggested we go for a drive,
so she and Dick took us west of
their place. We had never been to
that part of the country before. As
we pulled out of their driveway, in
the distance to the northeast, you
could see the place of Moenville
News reporter, Leanne Neuhauser,
and her husband, Randy. On the
drive we saw the former place of
my aunt and uncle, Everett and
Alma Towne, and later their son,
Allen and Aldene Towne and fam-
ily lived on that place. Alma was
my dads sister. We also drove by
what had been the place of Dutch
and Elizabeth Buchholz. It was be-
ginning to get dark, so we turned
around and as we headed back, we
could see the lights of Cherry
Creek. Gene made supper and we
did some more visiting before head-
ing for home, glad for the visit.
Our sympathies to the family of
Johnny Peters who lived in Mid-
land at one time and he and his sib-
lings attended the Midland School.
His mom, Helen Peters, was one of
the Buchanans who had a farm a
short distance to the east of Mid-
land. Morrie and Barb Jones now
have, and live, on that place. The
other Buchanan siblings were Mar-
garet Markwed, Alice Jeitz and
John Buchanan. All have passed
away, but for Alice. In the Prairie
Progress history book it tells that
their dad, John (Jack) Buchanan,
enjoyed an enviable reputation as
an auctioneer and his title Colonel
Jack was made in the auction
sales ring. Jacks grandson, Billy
Markwed, son of the late Bill and
Margaret Markwed, has that gift
as an auctioneer, as well. And, so,
Jacks legacy lives on in his grand-
son.
Date change The Midland
American Legion and Auxiliary
meetings are changed from Thurs-
day, March 7, to March 14 at 7:00
p.m. The occasion is to celebrate
the Legions birthday.
The Midland School Education
Fair is scheduled for April 12. The
Midland Community Library also
has their soup and sandwich sup-
per the same evening. So, be
watching for more information at a
later date.
Maxine Jones drove to White-
wood Saturday to attend a work-
shop at the Immanuel Lutheran
Church. The Bishop of the NALC
was conducting it. He is a very in-
teresting speaker and the audience
was well involved in the question
and answer sessions.
It was interesting to have a pas-
tor from Ludlow ask if the name
Grosz meant aything to me, when
she learned I was from Midland.
She or her husband, also deceased,
was a cousin of Marvin Grosz. They
had lost contact, so I called Pearl to
tell her about it. That resulted in a
nice long conversation. Pearl had a
heart valve surgery last fall and is
recovering well. Her daughter,
Jody Merchen, has a daughter who
is a freshman in college at
Bartlesville, Okla., studying phys-
ical therapy. Steves kids, three
girls and a boy ranging in age from
five to 14, live near Elko, Nev.
Perry and his wife, who is a school
teacher, are foster parents.
Monday afternoon, Gary Jacob-
sen, Jen Jones' father, and a friend
from Edgemont came to Shorty
Jones' to trade some Longhorn
heifers for a steer that has big
horns.
The Lutheran ladies are busy
working on senior quilts and
worked on them this Monday. This
is something they have done for a
number of years.
Bridget Schofield, wife of Lucas
Schofield, has been busy working
on family history scrapbooks for
the upcoming Fosheim-Schofield
family reunion planned for this
summer. She was at the Midland
library last week looking up family
history in the Pioneer Review
newspapers and history books, get-
ting some of that history. Librar-
ian Karel Reiman and I saw those
scrapbooks, as she shared some of
the history. And, by looking at
them, you know for a fact, she has
put a lot of time and work into
those scrapbooks.
David Hand was taken by am-
bulance to Philip and then on to
Rapid City, as he was having some
breathing issues. He has been
going through some difficult times
from a heart attack to pneumonia
and other breathing issues. At this
writing he is still at the Rapid City
Regional Hospital, is doing better,
but not ready to come home as yet.
Calls and prayers from neighbors
and friends concerning David are
much appreciated by the family.
Our prayers continue to be with
David and his family.
Ronnie and Emily Sammons
headed for Yankton Saturday for
the birthday party for Vivian Blom,
at the home of her son, Gary and
Casey Blom. On the way to Yank-
ton, Ronnie and Emily stopped in
Avon, picking up her sister-in-law,
Janet Rauch. Everyone enjoyed
supper, birthday cake and visiting.
Happy birthday, Vivian! Sunday,
Ronnie and Emily went to Sioux
Falls for a visit with his sister, Jo
Quatier. Heading for home Monday
and bucking the wind all the way
home, Emily reports the gas
mileage wasnt anything to write
home about.
Prerry Saucerman celebrated a
birthday Saturday. Family coming
to help her celebrate that birthday
were Talon Saucerman, Aurora,
Colo., Tel and Ellie Saucerman and
family, Rapid City, Marlin Evans
and Slate Evans, Philip, Wilma
Saucerman, Midland, and Noel
Dohlken and girls, Rapid City.
Ellie and Talon cooked the dinner
and Carol Hunt made one of the
cakes. Everyone enjoyed a time of
visiting and Prerry reports the best
present of all was she didnt have
to make the meal. Happy birthday,
Prerry! Talon stayed for a few more
days. Before going home, Tel and
Talon visited their grandpa, Gay-
lord Saucerman, at the Philip
Nursing Home. Noel and girls went
to Pierre later Saturday, as her
mother, Sheri Wiechmann, also
had a birthday. Birthday wishes to
Sheri as well.
Friday, Morrie and Barb Jones
attended the boys district champi-
onship basketball game at Rapid
City between Philip and Oelrichs.
A number of former Midland stu-
dents attend school at Philip and
were on the basketball team. Of
those former Midland students,
Thomas Doolittle, is a senior at
Philip High School and plays for
the basketball team. Philip lost to
Orlrich, so placed second at dis-
tricts.
Saturday, Morrie and Barb
were in Philip for the high school
junior varsity tournament with
eight teams being a part of that
tournament. Philip junior varsity
A team won the tournament and
the Scotties junior varsity B team
got sixth place. Morrie and Barb
have grandkids going to the Philip
school and being a part of the bas-
ketball teams, so enjoy going to
those games.
As I close my column for this
week, I am at Mitchell. I came
down Monday, with that strong
wind blowing me east. Our little
granddaughter, Laura, has RSV, so
I came down to look after her while
Christopher and Stephanie are at
work. Shes changed so much since
we last saw her, which was in Jan-
uary. She is crawling and pulling
herself up and just a busy, busy lit-
tle girl. Right now she is in her
high chair having a snack and giv-
ing me some smiley faces. She is
such a happy baby. Time to get
back to enjoying that grandbaby, so
I close by wishing you and good day
and a good week.
The family of
Ed Flom
would like to wish
him a very happy
special birthday!!

Greetings from cool, partly
cloudy, breezy northeast Haakon
County. Thank goodness today's
weather is not a repeat of yester-
day's weather. We had extremely
strong winds, coupled with inter-
mittent snow showers, making for
a truly nasty day Monday. One of
our neighbors was headed home
from Pierre early last evening, and
she said it was a total whiteout just
east of Hayes. We didn't get much
snow, but when it is pushed by
those strong winds, it raises havoc
with visibility.
I am writing the news in a hurry
again today, because I have to get
to Pierre for some appointments. It
seems like I generally wait as long
as I can before submitting the
news, hoping to hear from a few
more folks in the neighborhood.
One family I didn't hear from
this week was the Clint and Laura
Alleman family. I expect Clint is
busy taking care of livestock, and
Laura, who is directing this year's
Hayes play, is probably busy with
the finishing touches for this year's
performance.
So mark your calendars The
60th annual Hayes play will be this
weekend, March 8, 9, and 10. Per-
formances Friday and Saturday
evenings will be at 7 p.m. CST, and
Sunday's performance will be at 2
p.m. CDT. The title of the play is
"Bay at the Moon" and I'm sure it
will be very entertaining, as usual.
Also, you will want to remember
to turn your clocks ahead when you
go to bed Saturday night. It doesn't
feel like it is time to start Daylight
Savings Time, but according to the
calendar it is.
Another family I didn't hear from
was the T.J. Gabriel family. I know
things are busy at their house, and
last week was a big week. The
Deep Creek Angus bull sale was
held Tuesday, and it went very
well. There was a full house at the
sale barn, with spirited bidding for
the quality bulls. Congratulations
to T.J. and Jeanine on the business
they have worked so hard to build
they have built quite a reputation
in the cattle industry.
Nels and Dorothy Paulson didn't
make much news this week.
Dorothy said they were in Pierre
Friday to get groceries and sup-
plies, and they took time to visit
with some friends. Dorothy at-
tended church Sunday, and Lola
Roseth served lunch following the
church service.
Shirley Halligan was in Pierre
Thursday to keep appointments
and visit her father-in-law, Ken
Halligan. Saturday, Frank and
Shirley were in Lemmon to take in
the District Basketball Champi-
onship. Prior to the games, they
had an early birthday supper for
their son, Murdock, whose birthday
was Monday. Happy birthday to
Murdock! The basketball team
from Faith won the championship,
so they will be going on to regions.
Frank and Shirley's grandson is a
member of the Faith team.
I understand that David Hand
has been back in the hospital re-
cently, dealing with some heart is-
sues. I hear that he is doing much
better and hopes to be home soon.
Dick and Gene Hudson were in
Philip Friday, taking care of some
business. While they were in town,
they visited friends at the Silver-
leaf and the nursing home, and
they also stopped and had a nice
visit with Leo and Maryanne
Stoner at their apartment. Sonja
and Jerry Nemec visited at the
home of Dick and Gene Hudson
Friday. They spent time visiting
about the rural school mapping
project that the Philip library is
working on. They took a drive
around the community, looking at
the locations of the various schools.
Dick and Gene attended church
Sunday, then Duane and Lola
Roseth stopped by after church to
enjoy visiting and some card play-
ing. Monday, Gene was the substi-
tute teacher at Deep Creek School,
and Tuesday, Dick and Gene
headed to Rapid City to have the
stitches removed from Gene's re-
cent eye surgery.
Duane and Lola Roseth were in
Midland last Monday evening to
attend the firemen/EMT banquet.
Roger Porch provided the enter-
tainment, singing a few songs and
reciting poetry. Tuesday evening,
Lola was in Pierre to attend the
South Dakota Ag and Rural Lead-
ership alumni gala.
Billy and Arlyne Markwed enter-
tained Jack and LaVonna Kirk-
patrick Saturday evening. Jack
and LaVonna toured Billy and Ar-
lyne's new cabin, then the couples
enjoyed supper and card playing.
Sunday, Arlyne attended church at
Deep Creek.
Coreen Roseth traveled to Huron
last Wednesday to spend a few
days with her mother and help her
celebrate her birthday. Coreen re-
turned home Friday. Friday
evening, Kristin (Roseth) Martin
and children spent the night at Ju-
lian and Coreen's, then the grand-
kids spent the weekend with
Grandma and Grandpa while
Kristin and Vance spent the week-
end in Rapid City. Julian took the
grandkids back to their home Sun-
day evening.
Saturday, Bill and Polly Bruce
had a visit from Bill's sister, Betty,
and her husband, Dennis Casey,
Rapid City. Their niece, Erica
Bruns, and two of her children
came out from Pierre to spend the
day also. The group enjoyed a nice
visit. Sunday, Bill and Polly at-
tended church in Midland, and
they joined Gene and Audrey Jones
for lunch at a local cafe. Following
lunch, the two couples went to
Gene and Audrey's home to play
cards. According to Polly, I am for-
bidden from saying who won the
card games those directions came
from Gene Jones. But, it probably
isn't too difficult to deduce who was
the victor.

dad told about the prairie blowing
back in the 30s, and now its doing
it again. The prairie has been
grazed down so short that it doesnt
hold the dirt from blowing. I re-
member my mother telling about
having to plug the key holes with
rags to keep the dust out and she
said that there were days it was
hard to breath because of all the
dust. People had to cover their
noses and mouths when they had
to go outdoors in it. The old houses
that were torn down had dirt blown
in them part way up in them, espe-
cially around the windows.
Wayne Shultz is still visiting
family in California. We have not
heard when he will be returning to
Philip.
I did not find Thorsons or Sielers
at home and others that I did reach
had no news. Everyone is just busy
with chores and calving and are
staying out of the dust the best
they can. I can smell the dust in my
house today, although it is pretty
tight when the wind blows. There
isnt any dust on the window sills
anyway.

Max and Joyce Jones were in
Winner last Friday to attend a din-
ner theater there. One of their
friends played a prominent role in
the production. Randy Nemec has
been doing some work on their
house new windows have been in-
stalled, and now they are working
on siding. As you can imagine, the
nasty winds Monday prevented
any siding work from being done.
Joyce said that their grandson,
Zach, age 10, has been busy play-
ing basketball with a team from
Onida. The team has been doing
pretty well.
Todd and Darcy Jones were in
Doland over the weekend to attend
a BB gun match. Their daughter,
Mattie, won the first Aggregate
Award, and her prize was a nice
gun case. Way to go, Mattie! Sev-
eral of the dads are coaching the
team, and I wish all the shooters
good luck as their season pro-
gresses.
Nancy Neuhauser's daughter,
Chris, came to Pierre last Monday
evening. Tuesday, Nancy and Chris
attended a funeral for the son of
one of Chris's classmates. Friday
night, Raymond and Nancy at-
tended a Pierre boys basketball
game. Saturday night, Raymond
attended a girls basketball game
in Pierre. Nancy didn't go to the
girl's game, because her daughter,
Carrie, and her family were visit-
ing from their home in Sheridan.
Monday night, Ray and Nancy at-
tended a basketball game between
Miller and Mobridge the game
was held in Pierre. Nancy's grand-
son, Lee, is a member of the Miller
team, and this is his senior year. I
haven't heard yet who won the
game.
Kevin and Mary Neuhauser at-
tended basketball games in Pierre
Tuesday and Friday nights. Thurs-
day, Mary was in St. Lawrence to
attend the funeral of her brother,
Ted's, mother in law. Mary stopped
in Highmore to see Ruth
Neuhauser before returning to
Pierre. Friday evening, Kevin,
Mary, Brianna and Nick had sup-
per at a local steakhouse in honor
of Brianna's birthday. Happy be-
lated birthday, Brianna!
Ruth Neuhauser enjoyed a visit
from Mick Kennedy Tuesday. Mick
lives in the Faith area, but he has
some cattle near Highmore. Ruth
also enjoyed the visit from her
daughter-in-law, Mary, Thursday.
Ruth said the cold and wind hadn't
hit Highmore yet when I talked to
her Monday, but the way the wind
was blowing here, I'll bet it got
there eventually. Ruth also had a
nice telephone visit with her sister-
in-law, Helen Neuhauser, who
lives in Washington state. Helen
and Duane were celebrating their
wedding anniversary congratula-
tions to them!
Jon and Connie Johnson were
among those attending the BB gun
match in Doland over the weekend.
They went as far as Redfield Fri-
day night, and they returned home
late Saturday. Their son, Noah,
had a good day shooting. He won
fifth Aggregate Award in the 8-9
year old division, and he won first
in the Prone Position as well as
placing in the other positions. Jon
said there were 208 kids (three age
groups) participating in the shoot-
ing match at Doland. Next week-
end, the shooters will be competing
in Highmore. Jon and Connie's son,
Avery, attended basketball games
in New Underwood and Rapid City
last weekend in support of the
Philip team. Their son, Wyatt,
came home from his studies at
South Dakota State University Fri-
day, and he is enjoying Spring
Break at the ranch.
Lee and Mary Briggs were in
Pierre Friday evening. They en-
joyed supper with Cole Briggs and
members of his family as well as
Lane and Sonja Briggs. They also
stopped in to visit with Lee's
mother, Lil, while they were in
town. Lil continues to be at her
home outside Ft. Pierre. She has
pain patches to help control her
pain, but the patches make her
sleepy. Rea (Briggs) and Clay Rig-
gle and their daughter, Kinsey,
also went to the BB gun match in
Doland over the weekend.
Randy and I were in Philip Tues-
day to attend the cattle sale and
take care of some business. I
stopped at the Philip library and
then went on to Kadoka to visit my
mother, Letoy Brown. While I was
in Kadoka, Mom and I visited her
former co-workers at the court-
house. Randy and I had supper in
Philip before returning to the
ranch. Sunday, friends Otis and
Amber Funk stopped by for a visit
in the afternoon. They took a tour
of the elk while they were here.
Today, I am grateful for the extra
hours of sunlight we are experienc-
ing. I don't know why it is, but it
seems like when it gets dark out-
side, I feel like my day is done
sure cuts down on productivity dur-
ing the winter months!
Even though the weather has
been a bit unsettled here, signs of
spring are starting to appear. I had
a yard full of robins the other day,
baby calves are dotting the land-
scape, and I noticed that some
tulips are peeking through the
ground in my south facing flower
bed. Life is good! I hope you'll go
out and make it a fantastic week.

When does March coming in like
a lamb happen? March 4 and it is
howling wind and cold. Wonder if
that counts as the lion or the lamb?
However, the first three days were
outstandingly great days.
Are you ready to spring ahead?
That happens next Saturday night,
so by the 10th youd better have
sprung ahead. It seems stupid to
try to trick one into thinking the
day is longer. Its sort of like cut-
ting the top of a sheet off and
sewing it on the bottom to make
the sheet longer.
Monday, Bill and I were on the
road to Rapid City. Zack Seager,
Cori Barber and Ryder met us for
lunch. We took care of getting our
taxes completed and picked up my
rings that had been repaired and a
wider band put on. The list of
things to do was getting shorter. I
went to the Social Security office to
take care of some business and I
am for sure that teachers still have
eyes in the back of their heads.
Karen Rembold had already gotten
her number and was seated as I fol-
lowed the directions to get a num-
ber when she called out my name.
We had a great visit and she
passed along her greetings to all
the readers in the area. She keeps
busy in the Spearfish area as well
as enjoying some traveling. Bill
and my final destination was Dead-
wood for a two-night stay. We en-
joyed supper with Civil Air Patrol
friends, Teresa and Jim
Schmielfening, from Custer. Our
room was just perfect, if Bill got
tired there was a recliner and a
good TV, so we enjoyed Tuesday
and Tuesday night, returning
home Wednesday morning. Phyllis
Word was our cat sitter and mail
getter. Deadwood received about
six inches of very wet snow Tues-
day afternoon and evening, but
Sturgis was basically dry. We
checked into some campgrounds on
the way home, there seems to be a
2014 reunion wanted in that area.
Wednesday, Wendell Buxcel was
an afternoon visitor at our place
and daughter Shelley Seager, from
Sutton, Neb., was an overnight vis-
itor with us.
Don and Vi Moody spent the first
part of the week at their Rapid Val-
ley home, keeping appointments
and taking care of other business.
It seems that due to the govern-
ments inability to act, tax filing
time for agriculture was extended
to a later date. They returned to
the ranch Thursday.
Tony Harty took mail to Shirley
Hair and visited there. Tuesday he
did his usual stuff, then attended
the regional basketball game at
Kadoka. Wall took the game and
now moves on to state.
George and Sandee Gittings
were in Pierre Monday for a doc-
tor's appointment for George.
In the late 1800s, a newspaper
clipping found among Moms things
tells the attributes of lemons.Do
you want to know the name of one
of the best all around household
doctors and certainly the cheapest
that can be found in any country?
It is Dr. Lemon. Yes, an ordinary,
sour, yellow lemon, which you can
buy at the grocery for a few cents.
Here are some of the things, ac-
cording to the New York Herald,
Dr. Lemon will do for you if you
give him a chance. Squeeze him
into a glass of water every morning
and drink him with very little
sugar. He will keep your stomach
in the best of order and never let
Mr. Dyspepsia, whom he hates cor-
dially, get into it.
If you have dark hair and it
seems to be falling out cut off a
slice of the doctor and rub him on
your scalp. He will stop that little
trouble promptly. (wonder if it
works on gray hair?)
Squeeze him into a quart of milk
and he will give you a mixture to
rub on your face night and morning
and get a complexion like a
princess.
Pour him into an equal quantity
of glycerine and rub your hands
with the mixture before going to
bed. If you dont mind sleeping with
gloves on, that is better still, and
helps the doctor considerably in the
task of whitening your hands. In
the morning wash your hands thor-
oughly with warm water and apply
the doctor again pure, but only a
few drops of him this time.
If you have a bad headache cut
Dr. Lemon into slices and rub these
along your temples. The pain will
not be long disappearing, or at
least in growing easier to bear.
Wednesday, Tony Harty spent
part of the day at the courthouse
setting in on court proceedings.
Thursday, Shelley Seager went
to Philip and picked up Bonnie
Moses and they went on to Rapid
City for a visit at the home of Zack
Seager. Time to spoil her grandson.
While there, a herd of deer were be-
hind Zacks house and Shelley got
some pictures. The deer seem to
hang out in that neighborhood and
you must be careful, they can be
aggressive. Carol Solon stopped for
a visit in the morning and Wendell
Buxcel came by in the afternoon for
a visit. Bill traded the Haakon
County Prairie Transportation van
for a larger one in Philip when he
went to cards.
Ralph and Cathy Fiedler met
Don and Lynette Klumb and Eric
and Sherry Hanson for supper in
Spearfish Friday. It was adults
only night, so they could catch up
on news of how the grand kids are
doing as well as celebrated Ralphs
birthday, which was in January,
Dons birthday which was in Feb-
ruary and Sherrys anniversary of
her accident, which has been 32
years. They celebrate that she is a
survivor. Cathy said they had a
nice week weather wise.
Friday evening, Bill and I joined
Shelley, Ryder and Bonnie Moses
for supper in Philip. It was great to
see so many friends. We visited
with Renee Konst, Terry Buchert,
Rhonda Coyle, Gaye Odom and
Jane Kennedy while there, as well
as howdied several others. Shelley
and Ryder spent from Friday night
until Sunday with us.
Gene Deuchar and Mike Gebes
helped Henry Hanson haul his
bulls to the George Gittings' Fri-
day. Jeff Blachburn left Friday af-
ternoon after spending the past
two months at Gittings. He got a
job transfer to Huron. He works for
the railroad and lives in Miller.
Tony Harty visited Shirley Hair
in the morning and at our place
Friday afternoon and that evening
went to Interior for supper. He had
a nice time doing that.
Jessica Gittings was out to see
George and Sandee Gittings Satur-
day afternoon. She borrowed
Sandee's pickup to go get Daniel at
Worthington, Minn., Sunday. Jes-
sica and Daniel had supper with
George and Sandee Sunday
evening.
Tony Harty made a trip to Rapid
City Saturday and after some busi-
ness stops discovered he had a
problem with a front bearing. He
nursed it back to Kadoka by taking
his time. Kathy Brown visited Tony
when he got home and gave him a
haircut, he was getting pretty
shaggy.
Sometimes things happen for a
good reason. Don and Vi Moody
discovered they had forgotten to
bring some medical supplies home
with them from their Rapid Valley
place, so Friday afternoon. They re-
turned to Rapid Valley and decided
to stay over until a Monday ap-
pointment was taken care of, since
the cattle they have at home were
situated in fine shape. To make a
long story short, Saturday a fever
sent them to the emergency room
and from there things deteriorated
and Vi ended up in a different West
Gate community, called ICU. So, it
was being in the right place at the
right time that got prompt medical
attention. Things started stabiliz-
ing by Sunday night.
Saturday, Bill and I enjoyed hav-
ing Shelley and Ryder here and
were joined in the afternoon by
Zack and Cori and two dogs. They
all spent the night. Little Ryder
had a rough Saturday night with a
flu bug maybe, but he was a sick
little fellow. Sunday, Mike Moses
delivered Bonnie Moses here for
the ride back to Sutton. Shelley
fixed us all breakfast. Ryder was
feeling a little better as he and his
parents and two dogs headed to
Philip for a visit with Grandpa
Casey before returning to Rapid
and Shelley and Bonnie left for
Sutton.
Sunday, Tony Harty attended
church, had dinner out, and visited
Hairs.

Join the Pierre United States
Department of Agriculture Rural
Development staff to learn about
how the Rural Energy for America
Program (REAP) can assist with
renewable energy and energy effi-
ciency projects to cut costs or gen-
erate income.
An informational meeting will be
held Monday, March 18, beginning
at 1:00 p.m., at the USDA Service
Center at 1717 North Lincoln Av-
enue, Pierre, in the conference
room.
Under the REAP, USDA Rural
Development provides financing
with grants and loan guarantees.
Most rural projects that reduce en-
ergy use and result in savings for
the agricultural producer or rural
small business owner are eligible
as energy efficiency projects, in-
cluding lighting and heating re-
placements, upgrading insulation
and windows and doors. Examples
of renewable energy projects in-
clude geothermal heating and cool-
ing systems, wind energy, solar,
and flexible fuel pumps for gas or
convenience stores.
Eligible applicants for these
grants are rural small businesses
(must meet SBA size standards),
farmers and ranchers. Applica-
tions for residential building im-
provements will not be eligible.

The outreach truck sponsored by
Mitchell Technology Institute was
toured by Philip students, Thurs-
day, February 28.
Its an opportunity to put you in
real-life situations, but in a con-
trolled environment, said MTI
outreach trainer Jimmie Nicolaus
to the Philip students. He used
simple analogies in explaining
physics, such as electricity could be
envisioned as a pipe full of ping-
pong balls. Once the power is
turned on, the electrons push other
electrons until the furthest ones
are pushed out of the electrical
cable. Energy is not energy until I
convert it to some other form, he
said.
Nicolaus explained to the differ-
ent classes of students the minia-
ture electrical poles and trans- for-
mer in the trailer. Seventy percent
of what you learn to do is take the
puzzle apart and remember how to
put the puzzle back together, said
Nicolaus. MTI trains people on
small scale transfer poles so the
students can learn to become good
pole climbers later, but first have
the skills to do what they have to
climb up there for.
MTI has two outreach trailers,
each is a 53-foot semi-trailer outfit-
ted with equipment representing a
variety of programs offered at MTI.
The trailer that was in Philip,
the construction and energy trailer,
includes hands-on display technol-
ogy for electrical construction and
maintenance, heating and cooling,
power line maintenance and con-
struction, propane and natural gas,
and wind turbines. The communi-
cations and information technology
trailer includes hands-on learning
equipment for automation controls,
information, office technology spe-
cialist, satellite communications
and telecommunications.
In answering questions posed by
students, Nicolaus weighed the ad-
vantages of modern technology ver-
sus practicality and efficiency. Im
all for wind power, but, man, that
stuffs expensive, said Nicolaus.
His own house has geothermal
heating, and he admits its a differ-
ent heat. The initial cost was
higher, but in the long run with low
operating expenses it is now
bought and paid for, said Nico-
laus.
People say they are going to put
in that high efficiency furnace, but
they dont have good windows and
they cant understand not getting a
good return, said Nicolaus
As part of MTIs outreach efforts,
the trailer is available to visit
schools, community and economic
events, career fairs and other
places where South Dakotans can
experience activities and get ques-
tions answered by MTI staff about
the type of education needed for en-
ergy and construction careers. The
primary goal is to promote interest
in these job opportunities in order
to meet the growing workforce
needs across the state.
This project is supported in part
through a community-based job
training grant awarded to MTI
through the United States Depart-
ment of Labor.

Two local students earned their eligibility to the state competition of the Knights
of Columbus Free Throw Competition in Chamberlain, Sunday, March 3, at the
St. Joseph Indian School gymnasium. Each year at the local levels, each age
group has on average of roughly 600 contestants from across the state. The state
competition is made up of the top five from each age group, ages 10 through 14,
boys and girls. For the 2013 season, Philips Josie Rush age 11, and Peyton
Kuchenbecker age 13 made it. At state, each contender shoots 25 free throws
in a row. Rush earned fifth place in her age bracket for girls at state, and Kuchen-
becker received second place in her age bracket at state. Courtesy photo

Spud Creek Rodeo Productions
Dave and Nate Morrison from In-
terior is bringing an event to
Rapid City on Friday, March 15,
featuring a high paced Roughstock
Rodeo of bareback riding, saddle
bronc riding and bull riding, fol-
lowed with an Aaron Watson con-
cert.
Western South Dakota is very
educated when it comes to rodeo
events and they know a good event
when they see one, and also know
a bad, poorly run event, when they
see one, explained N. Morrison.
They can tell the difference be-
tween good stock and bad stock,
good rides and bad rides, and ac-
cording to the Western South
Dakota rodeo fan ... they are want-
ing something fresh and new with-
out all the fluff. Straight up action
where the bucking stock and rides
do the talking so to speak.
We believe we have found the
answer to that call, continued N.
Morrison. Limiting the event to
only 10 bareback riders, 10 bronc
riders, and 10 bull riders with the
top five from the event advancing
to a championship round, we can
present the crowd a high paced,
non-stop action night with 45 rides
total that can be done within two
hours without losing the crowds ex-
citement and attention. By also
limiting to 10 per event, I can as-
sure that the stock and riders can
be of the highest quality, making
the fan going home excited about
the event.
On top of the roughstock rodeo
action, the Red Dirt and Rough-
stock Tour is featuring Aaron Wat-
son in concert immediately follow-
ing the rodeo action. Aaron Watson
has released seven number one hits
on the Texas music charts and is a
fan favorite in the Red Dirt Texas
music scene. This will be Watsons
first time to ever perform a live
show in South Dakota and he is ex-
cited about the opportunity he has
been given. Watsons shows are
high energy, straight up Texas
country music that even kids can
enjoy.
The Red Dirt and Roughstock
Event in Rapid City will also be
featuring some of our local talent
as Christy Willert, Kadoka, will be
performing her trick riding skills in
between the events. You saw her
perform in August during the Bad-
lands Match Bronc Riding event in
Kadoka, which is also produced by
Dave and Nate Morrison.
Most all of the stock will be pro-
vided from our local area as well,
including bucking horses and bulls
from the Morrisons, Wilsons and
Walns. Local contestants compet-
ing include: bareback Kenny Fei-
dler, Philip, Travis Sharp, Interior,
Joe Wilson, Kyle. Saddle bronc
Louie Brunson, Interior, Jamie
Willert, Kadoka, Wyatt Kammerer,
Philip, Jace Nelson, Philip, and
Eric Addison, Belvidere.
Our goal is to provide an afford-
able night of entertainment that
the whole family can enjoy, said N.
Morrison.
Children 10 and under get in
free. You can purchase tickets on-
line at www.reddirtroughstock
.com. You will also be able to pur-
chase tickets at the door the day of
the event. Doors open at 6:00 p.m.,
Friday, March 15, with the event
kicking off at 7:00 p.m. Bring the
whole family.
Red Dirt and Roughstock Tour rodeo
Crime, robots and bridge build-
ing this years Girls, Engineering,
Mathematics and Science work-
shop has quite the schedule.
The GEMS program, hosted by
South Dakota State University
College of Engineering, is designed
to expose eighth grade girls to en-
gineering, math and science in a
hands-on environment and inspire
them to continue in a related field
when they enter college.
The GEMS workshop will be Sat-
urday, March 23. Registration and
refreshments begin at 9:00 a.m. in
room 204 in Crothers Engineering
Hall on the SDSU campus and the
closing ceremony will conclude at
5:00 p.m.
Three activity sessions are avail-
able for students. Forensics Who
Dunnit? gives the girls a chance to
learn all about fingerprint capture
and classification. They will meas-
ure footprints to determine how
tall the perpetrator might be and
put deductive reasoning skills to
work in eliminating suspects.
Today, robots are no longer sim-
ply the stuff of science fiction, but
are used everywhere from manu-
facturing to medicine. In this ses-
sion, GEMS students can learn
firsthand how robots work. They
will build a Mindstorm robot car
from Lego parts, navigate their cre-
ation through a maze and teach it
to dance.
The Bridge Builder session
puts engineering at the forefront.
The girls will discuss engineering
as a profession and what kinds of
careers engineers pursue. The in-
teractive portion of the session in-
volves the design, construction and
testing of bridge models. The proj-
ect provides new knowledge of ma-
terial properties, the physics of
trusses and the importance of
bonding agents.
GEMS also provides opportuni-
ties for parents and educators. As-
sistant Dean of Engineering Rich
Reid will give a presentation on
preparing students for college as
they enter high school, and parents
and educators may sit in on their
students activities throughout the
day.
Girls, parents and teachers may
apply online by completing the
forms at http://www.sdstate.edu/
engr/camps/gems.cfm or by calling
the College of Engineering at 605-
688-4161. The event is sponsored
by IBM, Daktronics, DGR, Banner,
East River Electric, Sencore,
Howard R. Green Company and
SDSU.
Accordingto Dana Hess, Univer-
sity Relations, there is a minimal
registration fee per individual.
Though the costs for the workshop
are sponsored, organizers have
learned that if a small registration
fee is involved, students are more
likely to attend once registered.
Eighth grade girls engineering workshop
by Representative
Kristi Noem
People across South Dakota turn
to books for entertainment, knowl-
edge and relaxation after a long
day and the Noem family is no dif-
ferent. Ever since my three kids
were young, weve made it a prior-
ity to spend time reading as a fam-
ily. Its been a real blessing to see
my kids grow up and learn to enjoy
reading on their own. I also try to
make reading a priority in my life.
Although schedules can be busy,
theres something to be said about
enjoying a good book from time-to-
time.
Ill be celebrating this years day
by reading books to second graders
at McKinley Elementary School in
Watertown. Last year I enjoyed
participating while reading to stu-
dents in Hayti and Brookings.
An event held across the country,
Read Across America is held in
honor of Theodor Geisel, but most
of us know him as Dr. Seuss.
Themes from Oh, the Places Youll
Go! and Are You My Mother?
bond grandparents with grandkids,
and teachers with students.
There are ways we can all en-
courage children to pick up a book
instead of watching another show
on television. For example, we can
set a good example by making
reading a priority in our own lives
or by taking field trips to the local
library. Its also important to keep
lots of books and magazines around
the house for kids to pick up and
start reading.
Read Across America Day
started in 1998 as an annual event
to raise awareness about encourag-
ing our young students to pick up a
book and read. When kids are
eager and excited to read, this sets
up an attitude and excitement to-
wards lifelong learning and starts
a path towards success as they go
through school.
As Dr. Seuss so wisely wrote,
You have brains in your head. You
have feet in your shoes. You can
steer yourself any direction you
choose. Youre on your own. And
you know what you know. And
YOU are the one wholl decide
where to go. I hope youll join me
in participating in Read Across
America Day and would encourage
you to send me a picture of you
reading with your kids.

against the Oelrichs Tigers in the
District 14B basketball tourna-
ment, Friday, March 1, in Rapid
City at the South Dakota School of

The Scotties played a good sea-
son. They were the only team to de-
feat the Oelrichs Tigers during the
2012-2013 season. Still, the final
game for the Scotties was a loss to
the Tigers.

Four Philip Area wrestlers were
recently named to state teams that
will wrestle in national compete-
tions.
Lane Blasius, Chandlier Sud-
beck and Logan Ammons were cho-
sen to represent team South
Dakota this summer at the Disney
Duals, Orlando, Fla. Nick Donelly
was chosen to represent team
South Dakota at the Middle School
Duals in Des Moines, Iowa.
Coach Matt Donnnely stated
that Blasius, Sudbeck and Am-
mons will leave June 25 for the
training camp which is held at the
Legends of Gold facility in Beres-
ford. They will wrestle for the var-
sity spot the next day then leave for
Orlando. After the completion of
duals they will arrive back in
Beresford on July 4.

THANK YOUS
Thank you to the Philip Area
AARP/Retired Teachers Associ-
ation for the recognition at their
meeting. Also, thanks for the
cards and birthday cake on
Tuesday morning at the senior
center. It was all appreciated.
Jerry Neville
The family of Arnold Wolden
would like to thank all those
who helped take care of Arnold
for the two years he was in the
hospital. We know he appreci-
ated the aides because he
teased them and called them
those beautiful babies. In the
last few months all the nurses
and caregivers were so espe-
cially kind and helpful.
A special thank you to Dr.
Coen Klopper and Terry Henrie,
PA. They were both so kind and
supportive to all the children
and myself.
Thanks to Pastor Frezil West-
erlund for the comforting mes-
sage and support. The music of
Marilyn Millage and Kim Kan-
able. We appreciated the sup-
port from neighbors and friends
who brought food and paper
goods.
The outpouring of cards and
calls were so comforting to us
and a memorial to Arnolds
wide family and friends. Jack,
DJ & Gayle Rush, thank you for
your support and services.
God bless you all,
Virginia Wolden

A special thank you to those

Robin Opitz for planning it, un-
known to us. It was much ap-
preciated.

ous friends are a treasure.
