The Haakon School Disctrict
Board of Education meeting Mon-
day, March 18, had a larger than
usual audience of students, parents
and other community members.
Gavin Brucklacher, president of
the junior class, was the
spokesman for convincing the
board to vote to change the location
of the March 22 prom. It had been
earlier indicated that the junior
class could hold the event in the
large gymnasium, rather than in
the Fine Arts Building. A massive
set and decorations were then or-
dered and financially committed to
by the junior class. A three-walled
circus tent facade is planned to en-
close the prom theme of Under the
Big Top.
Concerns were voiced to the ad-
ministration from some community
members about the preservation of
the wooden floor of the main gym.
The prom site was then changed
back to the Fine Arts Building.
Brucklacher gave a detailed and
supported argument, followed by
the board stating that it was not a
board issue. The matter was re-
turned to negotiation and compro-
mise by the junior class, the junior
class advisors and the administra-
tion. The matter was to be resolved
by the end of Tuesday, March 19
(after print time for this issue of
the Pioneer Review).
Brucklacher stated that the
larger gym had been used for
proms in 2003. In rebuttal, board
member Vonda Hamill said that
was before the Fine Arts Building
was available. Brucklacher stated
that four other activities scheduled
for the Fine Arts Building would
delay the beginning of decorating
for the prom. In rebuttal, Superin-
tendent Keven Morehart would try
to have those activities moved or
concluded earlier. Though the
wooden floor is completely refin-
ished every summer anyway,
Brucklacher said that the prom at-
tendees could dance in socks,
Thats not we are worried about.
We want to have a good time.
Brucklacher stressed that the
students wanted to thank the com-
munity. Kids support the commu-
nity, too. The Family, Career and
Community Leaders of Amierica,
the FFA and other groups support
the recent drive to save the Gem
Theatre, help landscape the hospi-
tal courtyard and many other proj-
ects. Its what we put into the com-
munity and we hope we get back
from the community, and we al-
ways do, said Brucklacher.
After Brucklachers supported
speech, board members and More-
hart replied. Hamill stated she was
more concerned of when the prom
was, not where it was. Mark Nel-
son said that such floor concerns
were why a wooden floor was not
put in the Fine Arts Building. Jake
Fitzgerald said that the manual on
use and upkeep of the wooden floor
should be reviewed. Morehart
stated that he saw compromising
already going on, with changing
the prom from Saturday evening to
Friday evening. Scott Brech was
not necessarily worried about using
the wooden floor this year, but
about setting a precedent for future
years. Hamill said, It may not look
exactly as you want, but it is possi-
ble in the Fine Arts Building. Im
on the cleaning committee, so Ill
probably be one of those hanging
up there like a monkey to take it
down. Hamill stated that if a com-
promise was made, then future
uses should be steered to the Fine
Arts Building.
Brucklacher thanked the board
for listening. He pointed out that if
the Fine Arts Building had to be
used for the boards reasonings,
then graduation should be in the
Fine Arts Building for those same
reasons. The junior advisors are
Barb Bowen, Pennie Slovek and
Brigitte Brucklacher.
In other board business, the
board approved offering adminis-
trative contracts, with salaries to
be determined at a later date.
The board went into an executive
session concerning personnel, with
no action being taken afterward.
A list of surplus items includes
the storage trailer at the football
field, which will be removed and
disposed of. Other items, mostly
used sporting equipment, of any
use will be sold at Scottie Fest.
This year works out that only
three coaches are involved with the
high school and junior high school
track team. The 2013 golf team has
30 members and is in need of an as-
sistant coach to help head coach
Doug Hauk. Thus the position has
been made and a contract has been
offered to Kory Foss.
The local spelling bee will be
April 18. The annual grandparents
lunch will be Wednesday, March
27.
The next scheduled board of ed-
ucation meeting will be at 7:00
p.m., Monday, April 15, in room A-
1 of the Philip High School.
Prom placement problem pitch
Gavin Brucklacher, left, put forth an orderly and documented argument for the
high school prom to be in the wooden-floored gym as indicated, rather than back
in the Fine Arts Building, to accommodate the already committed-to decorations
for the prom theme Under the Big Top. He displayed a model of the three-walled
facade that will be the circus tent, which will be lifted with pulleys up to the ceiling
of the prom location. With Brucklacher were other junior class officers Kaci Olivier,
Jordyn Dekker and Madison Hand. Photo by Del Bartels

The Philip City Council met in
special session, Monday, March 18,
as a board of equalization.
Toni Rhodes, Haakon County di-
rector of equalization, presented
her annual report to the council.
For the city, there were no filed ob-
jections to property valuation as-
sessments received in 2013. The
Haakon County commissioners will
meet as a board of equalization,
April 9. According to Rhodes, as of
March 18, no objections have been
filed with the county.
Rhodes reported that in 2011 the
city experienced a total growth as-
sessment of $59,421. In 2012 the
citys total growth assessment was
$203,460. Some of this is for new
buildings that fall under the citys
tax break for new construction,
thus the property owners are as-
sessed any taxes at only one-fifth of
the total assessed value for the first
year, with another fifth added next
year, and so forth. In 2011, the
county saw a growth of new con-
struction of an assessed value of
$590,922, while in 2012 the county
grew in new construction by an as-
sessment of $3,317,873.
This adds up to a total of new
building within the borders of
Haakon County for 2012 of
$3,521,333. Rhodes reported that
we have growth in the county that
has not been assessed yet. Her goal
is to get through the entire county
every five years. For 2012, the
equalized value for all of Haakon
County and its communities is
$262,651,056.
The council adjourned as a board
of equalization and immediately re-
convened for city council business.
Rod Senn with KLJ (formerly
Kadrmas, Lee and Jackson) pre-
sented a review of the Philip air-
port projects. After his briefing, the
council approved the Land Acquisi-
tion and Environmental Assess-
ment and authorized the mayors
signature on the paperwork.
The Philip Municipal Airport, in
order to meet new and projected
Federal Aviation Administration
guidelines, will swap land it owns
that is not in any flight path of the
two runways for property that is at
the end of the runways. A trape-
zoidal area of land at the end of
runways has been shown to be
higher in any likelihood of an acci-
dent.
The intent is not to purchase
any property, but to swap, said
Senn. Later he said, Everything is
predicated on dollar value. The
city currently has existing ease-
ments for all the property for which
it wants to own. If the city does not
own it, it cannot pave it.
Ultimately, it will all come down
to how cooperative the landowners
are going to be, said Mayor Mike
Vetter. No problems are expected.
The liability issue was revisited
concerning a company wanting to
land aircraft that are heavier than
the airport is classified for. The
classification restriction and lim-
ited liability, if any at all, of the
city or the airport has been made
very clear to the company. Senn
concluded with the reality that if
an accident were to happen, then
the city might have to pay a few
thousand dollars to repair a pot-
hole in the shoulder of a runway,
while the company would have to
pay many times that to repair such
an aircraft.
Kent Buchholz and Tom Radway
asked the council if it would look
into overlaying a 75-yard section of
street between their houses. The
asphalt work on Hone Street west
of the N. Wood Avenue intersection
would be easiest done during the
Wood Avenue and Waldon Avenue
street project. Buchholz said that it
should be considered now, or out of
sight out of mind and it wont get
done for many, many years. The
council will research the possibili-
ties.
The council approved resolutions
2013-01 and 2013-02, authorizing
the transfers of funds to finance
the Wood Avenue and Walden Av-
enue improvement project and the
Pine Street and Wray Avenue over-
lay project.
The council approved a building
permit applied for by Ralph Mc-
Quirk for Donald and Delores Poss.
It concerned an emergency repair
or replacement of a water line.
The council approved the
amended park/recreational free
water policy. It no longer lists a
price for a certain amount of water.
The policy now states, The parks
and/or recreational areas will be
assessed the current adopted water
usage rate for free water users for
any water usage over and beyond
their maximum allotted free
water.
There will be a garbage commit-
tee meeting, Thursday, March 28,
at 4:00 p.m. to open bids for the
residential garbage contract.
The next regular city council
meeting will be Monday, April 1, at
7:00 p.m. in the Haakon County
community room.
City council meets as board of equalization
The Midland community opened
its doors to host the fourth develop-
ment session for Stronger Econ-
omies Together, a group which
meets monthly to build a blueprint
for regional economic development
in the Badlands/Bad River region.
The group met Tuesday. March
12, at the Open Bible Church, and
focused on the topics of developing
a vision statement and goals for the
plan.
Prior to the working meeting,
Midland representatives offered
city tours, culminating in a walk-
through of the newly named, Lava
Waters Inn, formerly the Stropp-
pel Inn. While visitors wandered
through the historic building, sto-
ries of history and new ideas were
shared.
About 30 people toured Midland
and the Lava Water Hotel. It was
exciting to hear Kathy Jensen's fu-
ture plans for the hotel and to see
the progress she has already
made, said Beth Flom, Midland
member on the SET team.
Session four opened with a per-
sonality assessment, helping group
members to understand their lead-
ership style, as well as others in
the group. This led to time spent
conceiving a vision statement in
line with regional assets and val-
ues. Between this session and the
next, a small group will be forming
the ideas into a solid vision state-
ment that will represent the direc-
tion of the entire group.
Brainstorming of goals and
learning how to write them to be
SMART rounded out the session.
The group came up with 20 broad
goals that will be narrowed and
prioritized during the next four ses-
sions. Current group members can
share ideas they have identified.
The next SET session will be
held in Philip, Tuesday, April 9.
The educational session will be
from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. To as-
sist the group in forming their
plan, guest speakers from the Gov-
ernors Office of Economic Develop-
ment and the South Dakota Labor
Market Information Center will
present economic data on jobs and
industries.
All interested people in the
Haakon/Jackson/eastern Penning-
ton county area are urged to partic-
ipate. For more information,
contact Kari ONeill, South Dakota
State University Extension Com-
munity Development, at 685-6972
or kari.oneill@sdstate.edu.

The Philip Ambulance Service
revealed its most modern vehicle,
during an assembly outside the
school Thursday, March 14.
Members of the high school art
class, under the instruction of Pen-
nie Slovek, supplied various art-
work as suggestions for the paint
work on the ambulance. The top
winner, 10th grader Ashton Reedy,
received a $100 check and her de-
sign was used for the ambulance
paint job. The second place winner,
10th grader Courtney Bartlett, re-
ceived $50.
The two art winners got to take
down the coverings to unveil the
ambulance detail to fellow students
and the general public. The win-
ning design was a life line symbol
connecting two ambulance stars of
life, one design on each side of the
unit. The star of life is also behind
each cab door.
The box from a 1998 ambulance
was refurbished and put on a 2013
chassis. This four-wheel drive am-
bulance is mostly going to be used
as our bad weather rig snow, mud
and like that, said Don Weller, di-
rector of Philip Ambulance Service.
Weller said that he had basi-
cally asked to see designs on the
new ambulance. Some one men-
tioned having the students do
them, and it went from there.
Crew members judged the sugges-
tions from the students and voted
to determine the top winner. It
was fun looking through everyones
art work, said crew member Kalcy
Triebwasser.
It was great to have a commu-
nity event that supports our ambu-
lance, and that supports our
students, said crew member Paula
Duncan.
Slovek said that, in lieu of a fall
semester test, her students created
designs for the ambulance.
The current ambulance service
crew is between 20-25 people. Some
members have moved out of the
area, while some are recovering
from temporary burn-out. The cur-
rent emergency medical technician
class will graduate in May. Weller
said that it is always a struggle to
continually pick up and train
enough people.

Lookin Around by Syd Iwan
If certain things happen often
enough, you start expecting them.
Take the Land-O-Lakes truck I
frequently see when going to
church on Sunday. Quite a lot of
the time, just after I get on the in-
terstate, here comes a big blue dou-
ble-trailer rig festooned with
pictures of dairy products and
sporting the Land-O-Lakes logo.
Its big, its blue, and its hard to
miss. As a result, after spotting
this rig several times, I started
purposely looking for it. I find that
if I am on my normal schedule of
entering the freeway about 9:00
AM, I may well see the truck com-
ing my way within a very few min-
utes. If Im earlier than that, Ill
see it farther on. If Im late, I may
miss it altogether. This little sce-
nario has played itself out enough
times now that Im sort of let down
if it doesnt happen, not that it
makes the slightest difference one
way or the other.
We humans tend to be creatures
of habit. We may fall into a routine
and then find ourselves somewhat
unsettled if things dont play out as
were used to. Take getting up in
the morning, for example. I like to
start the day by sipping on some
orange juice followed by having a
cup of coffee. If we happen to be out
of orange juice, that is a sorry state
of affairs. I may have to look
around, see whats available, and
maybe substitute some apple or
other juice which is not nearly as
satisfying. Sure, orange juice
sometimes gives me a sugar or
some other kind of rush if I drink
it too fast right after waking up.
This can even result in a touch of
dizziness if I stand up too quickly,
but I still want the orange and not
apple or, heaven forbid, cranberry.
Routine is not always bad, of
course. Sometimes it is only sensi-
ble. If youve had an ornery old
black cow kick you enough times,
you will soon learn to avoid going
behind her. This applies even more
so to horses. In the early days, my
dad and his brothers raised a lot of
horses to sell since they were more
profitable than various other pur-
suits. They had one horse, though,
that liked to kick if anyone walked
behind it when it was in a stall in
the barn. They exercised caution
around the beast, but one day it let
fly with a hoof and just narrowly
missed connecting with my Uncle
Dons head. That was enough.
They decided caution was no
longer the answer in this particu-
lar case and promptly led the ani-
mal to the other side of the barn
and shot it. This was probably a
good idea since, just a few years
ago, a cousin of mine died from
being kicked in the head by a
horse.
Then we come to nature which
tends to follow a certain schedule.
Every month the moon goes
through a routine of growing larger
and then shrinking back again. To-
wards the end of the cycle when
Ive probably lost track of the
moons exact phase, I start looking
towards the west just after sunset
to see if there is a crescent moon
hanging there. Im always some-
what pleased when I see it since
crescent moons are neat.
Similarly, about this time of year
I start looking for meadowlarks.
They usually come back anywhere
from early to late March. Gener-
ally speaking, a bunch of robins
shows up just prior to the mead-
owlarks, so seeing them gives me
an early warning to be on the look-
out for my favorite avian species.
Hearing that first meadowlark
every year is quite a delight, not
only because it is pretty to listen
to, but also because it signals that
winter is over or, in some cases, al-
most over.
Getting back to the dairy trucks,
though, I went through three Sun-
days recently without seeing any of
them. I was somewhat disap-
pointed and figured theyd changed
their schedule somehow so I
wouldnt be seeing them anymore.
On the fourth Sunday, however, I
just got on the interstate and there
came my truck. Oh, theyre still
running, I said, feeling somewhat
pleased. About another five miles
down the road, here came another
one just like the first one. Thats a
new twist, I thought. Ive never
seen two before. Oddly enough, on
the way back from church, a third
one went by going the other way.
Now theyre overdoing it a little,
I concluded. Still, I guess they were
just making up for the three Sun-
days they werent around. My rou-
tine was intact albeit somewhat
strangely. Life could go on.

Hard times calving ... by Del Bartels
The alarm blared. Through his grogginess, his stretched out hand
found its mark to turn the darned thing off. The ranchers body moved
on its own, dressing into yesterdays clothes with little wakeful thought
directing it. Not until the microwave dinged and the smell of day-old,
but hot, coffee hit him did any thought actually take place.
Still night, 4:00 a.m. Last of the night checks to the pole barn. More
details reformed as he put on his muddy boots by the back door. Four
cows were in the barn, two having already dropped their calves, which
were strengthening up before mama and baby would be making room
for more end-of-term livestock. The other two cows had still been car-
rying when the rancher checked on them just a few hours ago.
The pre-dawn breeze gnawed its way through his coat. His gloves
were damp from earlier, and he had been too worn out to remember to
get a drier pair. He trudged through the herd in the corral. No other
cows there were yet in quick need of the shelter of the barn. A seem-
ingly blaring light and some hay-sweet warmth hit him when he en-
tered through a side door. The two calves born earlier and their
mothers were doing fine. The third cow, a solid seasoned one, had given
birth quicker than the rancher had expected, and with no problems.
The cow had proven in years past to be hardy, and to be an attentive
mama. The fourth cow was the possible problem.
Each calf was a part of his future income, a part of paying the bills
and keeping his livelihood for someday when at least one of his kids
might take over. They were still young, but had been doing at least as
much as could be expected of them. The hard parts, like getting prac-
tically no sleep for about two weeks, were on his shoulders. Hard parts
like right now. The calf had not turned. Talking to the cow as if they
were old friends, he patted her and pulled on an arm-length glove.
Branding, cutting, dehorning all were as messy and as much country
as it comes. But, this was probably the most disgusting, yet glorious,
aspect of ranching. He distracted himself with thoughts of next seasons
selling prices, hay reserves from the fall, his bankerss face when they
last talked ... all the while his experience took over to reach in, move
and direct what he could. There, the best he could do!
Almost with an urgency the calf now wanted out. A wet, limp, gangly
blob came easily behind the ranchers gentle pulling. The bed of hay
on the floor was not good enough for calf, as mama immediately tended
to the steaming thing that was hers. The rancher had helped, but he
was no longer there. He pulled off the long glove, cleaned up the best
he could and rested with the mug of coffee on the bench.
Long hours, questionable markets, darned cows all balanced off.
The calf was all legs, and all awkward determination to get to its
mothers milk. He drank the now coolish coffee and watched the four
calves and their mothers. Darn it, life was good.
Dear Editor,
There has been vandalism hap-
pening at the Kiddie Park recently,
as well as in the past. The damage
ranges from spray painting to per-
manent marker writing on the
equipment, etc.
We would like to bring this to the
communitys attention on behalf of
Haakon County Young Women
(HCYW) and all of the dedicated
volunteers and many donators who
have made the Kiddie Park what it
is today.
The Kiddie Park is a community
park taken care of by volunteers in
the community with help from the
City of Philip. It takes a lot of hard
work and dedication to keep things
in good working condition and safe
for the kids. HCYW work very hard
to make sure that all of this is
done. We do a lot of fundraising to
keep things as up to date as possi-
ble and keep new ideas rolling for
the future. To date HCYW has up-
dated almost all of the play equip-
ment currently at the park,
including all rock, gravel and edg-
ing around the play areas. The big
playground area took from 1998
until 2005 to raise the funds and
get the man power to install it. The
total cost for that was $28,751. The
new swing set that was installed on
the Northwest side was $1,094.
These are just two figures of many,
just to give an idea.
Vandalism is the willful or ma-
licious destruction of public or pri-
vate property. Vandalism is taken
pretty seriously by law enforce-
ment and can have severe conse-
quences. Vandalism is considered a
misdemeanor offense and if
charged could result in court hear-
ings, restitution, community serv-
ice, etc. HCYW does not take
vandalism very lightly as we have
put in a lot of hours collecting do-
nations, fundraising and installing
the equipment that is at the Kiddie
Park.
We would like to make it very
clear that a person, or persons, li-
able for acts of vandalism at the
Kiddie Park in Philip will be pros-
ecuted to the fullest. HCYW is not
responsible for these acts of van-
dalism ever and we feel that those
responsible would in return have
the responsibility to clean up their
mess!
Sincerely,

To the editor,
Concerning the Living Memorial.
A few weeks ago I went to a WWII
veterans funeral in Philip. This
man was very instrumental in
building the Living Memorial for
those killed in action, from the
Haakon County area.
When I walk among these mark-
ers, I wonder how they lived and
especially the events in their mili-
tary careers that ended by giving
their life for their country. I have
asked about some names on mark-
ers and learned some of their his-
tory. Many of these men are
unknown to me, and I believe other
people also would like to know
about the accomplishments and
places or campaigns where these
brave men served.
When I get these written ac-
counts, I will place them accessible
to visitors at the Living Memorial.
The legacy of these men needs to
be recorded for future generations.
I fear we will lose the memory of
the most deserving.
The following list of names are
the ones in the Living Memorial:
John Piroutek, Cory Brooks,
Richard Brech, Rupert Nelson,
Philip Colvin, Oliver Omdahl, John
Gates, Albert Altfillisch, Orval
Tofte, Earl Ferguson, Carlos Yel-
low Elk, Fredrick Nedved, Glen
Cox, Walter Briggs, Ben Owen,
Vern Anderson, George McCam-
mon, Vernon Martin, John Urban,

ward Wheeler, Lloyd Brooks, Gor-
don Calhoon, Stanley Martin, V.

The second annual plant share
will be at the Haakon County
Courthouse, Saturday, May 18.
Philip Garden Club members
and other generous folks have
started seedlings of veggies, peren-
nials, annuals and starts of house
plants to share this spring, said
Elke Baxter, club president. The
public is encouraged to do the same
in order to have lots of plants to
share with the community. Any
and all healthy and desirable
plants are welcome, from vegetable
transplants to trees.
Plants should be individually
potted to ease transportation and
survivability. Each marked with
species and cultivar is helpful to
the new owner. There is no limit on
how many plants a person may
bring or receive. The more plants,
the more successful the event. Mas-
ter gardeners will answer ques-
tions. The Philip Garden Club
encourages anyone to attend a
meeting or two. Talk to any mem-
ber or email Baxter at elke@

The students in Jessica Wheelers third grade class have been learning about
the five senses. They were excited to have Physicians Assistant Terry Henrie come
in and speak about how ears hear sound and about the parts of the ear. He
brought an otoscope so the students could see what a real eardrum looks like.
In their ongoing study section, the students have made raised glue names and
did crayon rubbings to test their sense of touch. Shown is Henrie holds the oto-
scope while his son Reese looks at the ear canal and eardrum of fellow third
grader Clark Hindman-Hopkins. Courtesy photo

Easter is right around the cor-
ner, which means many families
across South Dakota are busy with
calving season.
I particularly remember one
Easter Sunday spent pulling calves
in and out of the barn in the midst
of a South Dakota blizzard. But
with rising spring temperatures
often comes new lambs, colts and
calves. This means long nights
with 2:00 a.m. trips to the barn to
make sure everythings going all
right.
I have a lot of memories of time
spent with my dad, and time with
my kids, during calving season. Al-
though there were many late
nights, early mornings and nights
with no sleep whatsoever, its an
incredible experience to see new
life and the hope that it provides
for the upcoming season.
For those of you who may not be
familiar with the calving process, it
can be very time consuming and
also very stressful. I remember
how precarious those first few mo-
ments can be with a new calf. Re-
gardless if its at 4:00 a.m. in the
barn or 3:00 p.m. in the pasture,
its important that mother and calf
have an opportunity to bond and
for the calf to get the proper nour-
ishment to start a healthy life.
Farmers and ranchers also rec-
ognize that this process is not only
important to the animals, but also
important to their business. Strong
and happy livestock result in a
healthy herd that provides food to
feed our world.
Although South Dakota farmers
and ranchers are used to working
long hours, I hope you take a mo-
ment to thank a farmer for all of
their work and dedication to ensur-
ing we have a safe, reliable and af-
fordable food supply. Whether you
can provide a handshake or a cup
of coffee, any gesture will go a long
way.
I will continue to do my part on
the House Agriculture Committee
as we prepare for another round of
Farm Bill discussions and will keep
South Dakota agriculture priorities
at the forefront. Assuring we have
adequate livestock disaster assis-
tance for our ranchers will be one
provision I will work hard to in-
clude in the Farm Bill.
Id like to encourage you to reach
out to my office and share any sto-
ries you may have about the first
time you helped with calving. Id
love to hear from you! Contact in-
formation for my offices is:

S.D. Sec. of Ag
The South Dakota Department
of Agriculture is celebrating 110
years
In 1885, South Dakota and
North Dakota, jointly known then
as Dakota Territory, were man-
aged by a Board of Agriculture.
When South Dakota and North
Dakota officially became states in
1889, the board continued to man-
age both areas with citizens from
each state. As each state continued
to separate and grow on their own,
South Dakota developed the De-
partment of Horticulture, Manu-
factories and Domestic Arts,
established in 1903.
One hundred and 10 years later,
the South Dakota Department of
Agriculture continues to promote,
protect, preserve and improve
South Dakotas agriculture. That
mission statement is carried out by
seven very diverse divisions within
the department: Office of the Sec-
retary, Policy, Services, Develop-
ment, State Fair Park, Wildland
Fire, and Resource Conservation
and Forestry.
The programs within SDDA are
administered by almost 200 full
time employees and have three dif-
ferent sources of funding (general
funds, federal funds, and other
funds or fees). As far as the total
tax dollars, or general funds, the
SDDA receives about four-tenths of
one percent of the states annual
budget.
The programs and projects that
we support, fund and administer
reflect the diversity within South
Dakotas agricultural industry.
Just in this last year, we have
helped promote and fund farmers
markets and local gardens. We
have commented on federal policies
that would have crippled farmers
regardless of size. Our services and
development staff have provided
technical expertise and guidance to
not only Bel Brands USA and their
400 jobs coming to Brookings, but
also the first artisan cheese plant
in the state near Crooks.
Our crews have fought forest
fires, range fires and pine beetles
on both private and state land. We
have helped finance a robotic milk-
ing machine to a family-run 60-cow
dairy, allowing them to continue
milking cows efficiently and eco-
nomically. This also improved the
familys quality of life by giving
them the benefit of not being tied to
the cows all day, every day.
At the same time, we have
helped larger dairy, swine and beef
operators grow their existing busi-
ness here in South Dakota and
found locations for livestock pro-
ducers to relocate to our great
state.
The South Dakota State Fair is
growing and provides entertain-
ment, education and a platform to
highlight the vast array of projects
our 4-H and FFA kids have worked
on all year long. Our conservation-
ists administer over $1.5 million to
plant trees and kill weeds.
We also annually train and cer-
tify over 8,000 private and commer-
cial pesticide applicators. Our
inspectors watch over dairies, nurs-
eries, feed, and food processing
plants along with registering 7,500
plus products annually for eco-
nomic, environmental, health and
safety reasons.
We have a great story to share
and are constantly trying to tell the
consuming public what our agricul-
tural producers are doing, how they
are doing it, and why they are
doing it that way. Our new website
(sdda.sd.gov) has been running for
over a year and provides a wealth
of information on all our programs
and projects. You can also connect
and interact with us over Facebook
and Twitter (@SDAgriculture).
It has been an honor to serve as
your secretary of agriculture for
two years now. We have worked to
always be inclusive knowing that
at the table of opportunity, there
is room and need for everyone.
So please join me as we celebrate
110 years of SDDA and Ag Week
during March 18 through 22.
Thank you all for making Agricul-
ture South Dakotas number one
industry.
An ear to the ground
The South Dakota Department
of Agriculture is seeking nomina-
tions for the South Dakota Gover-
nors Ag Ambassador Award.
Nominees should be those who
have continually worked to pro-
mote agriculture in South Dakota.
The individual or organization
nominated must possess strong ties
to agriculture in South Dakota,
leadership skills in agriculture, an
emphasis on education through
campaigns or programs, and focus
on pro-active agriculture policies
and practices
Nominations are due to SDDA by
April 1 and can be found at http://
sdda.sd.gov/education-outreach/ag-
ambassador-award/. The award
will be presented during the Gover-
nors Ag Development Summit in
Pierre on June 26.
The 2012 Governors Ag Ambas-
sador was Jim Woster of Sioux
Falls. For years, Woster has been a
cattleman, media personality, phi-
lanthropist and spokesman for
agricultural interests.

Drought recovery in 2013 is not
looking promising for South
Dakotas grazing lands.
Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) State Range Spe-
cialist Stan Boltz, Huron, said even
with normal precipitation, forage
production will still be limited this
summer. If we were to get normal
precipitation now until peak pro-
duction which is about July 1,
western and central South Dakota
would only have about 60 to 70 per-
cent production.
At this level, these drought dam-
aged pastures can only sustain 55
to 65 percent of normal stocking.
Eastern South Dakota counties
that did not suffer as much drought
during 2012 could expect about 80
percent of normal stocking rates.
The lower production rate is be-
cause grassland plants ability to
recover from drought takes several
seasons with normal moisture, and
longer with limited precipitation,
like were seeing now, explained
Boltz.
South Dakota livestock produc-
ers can get help for handling the
impact of drought by developing a
drought plan with the aid of the
South Dakota drought tool, avail-
able from NRCS. The drought tool
is a good planning tool to set up a
drought plan, Boltz said. Were
encouraging people to have a
drought plan in place so as condi-
tions change, producers are ready
and can act on the management de-
cisions they have already made
ahead of time.
The drought tool helps producers
assess current conditions by using
the past two years of precipitation
to predict the expected percent of
normal forage production and then
stocking rate. Users can use the
weather stations or enter their own
precipitation data.
The tool also walks producers
through development of a current
drought plan. Computer users can
download the South Dakota
drought tool from the South
Dakota NRCS website or producers
can stop in their local USDA serv-
ice center for one-on-one assis-
tance. Every operation is unique
with different goals and resources.
Sometimes, said Boltz, just talk-
ing with resource professionals re-
garding land management deci-
sions and options can be the
biggest benefit and reassurance
producers need for their farming
and ranching decisions.
Last year in South Dakota,
NRCS worked with people on more
than 4,700 plans that resulted in
conservation work improving or en-
hancing the quality of more than
1.7 million acres.

Representative Kristi Noem has
announced that she has joined a bi-
partisan group of House members
in cosponsoring legislation to ap-
prove construction of the Keystone
XL pipeline by taking the approval
out of President Barack Obamas
hands.
Its been four and a half years
since this project was first proposed
and Americans and stakeholders
have waited long enough, said
Noem. Keystone XL will result in
thousands of jobs for hard-working
Americans, as well as millions of
dollars injected into the economy.
The president has shown that he is
unwilling to act in a timely matter,
so its time to find another way.
H.R.3, the Northern Route Ap-
proval Act, originally introduced by
Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE), removes
the need for a presidential permit
for the northern portion of the Key-
stone XL Pipeline, which is
planned to run from the Canadian
border to Steele City, Neb.
This legislation also states that
the final environmental impact
statement issued by the Secretary
of State on August 26, 2011, satis-
fies all requirements and also takes
into consideration the Nebraska re-
route.
Noem has continued to be a vocal
supporter of the Keystone XL proj-
ect. Earlier this month, she sent a
letter to Secretary of State John
Kerry requesting he support imme-
diate approval of the project. This
letter was sent in response to the
most recent State Department en-
vironmental report released March
1.
Noem also joined over 145 House
members in signing a letter to
President Barack Obama encour-
aging immediate approval follow-
ing Nebraska Governor Dave
Heinemans approval of the
pipeline route in January.

Saturday! What a low blow! I
was sick all Friday afternoon and
then the computer wouldnt turn
on! So I will write a few words in
long hand.
Friday, March 8, we had cooking
with Sandi. Fred ran the mixers,
Agnes put the cupcake papers in
the pans and Mary Lou put the
batter in. Others on hand were
Addie, Marcella, and Vivian. The
spumoni cupcakes had pink and
green batter, colored with mar-
aschino cherry juice and pistachio
pudding. The recipe called for
chocolate frosting and a cherry on
top. The crew played quiddler
while the cakes baked.
In the afternoon of Friday,
March 8, we had Skeeter and Allen
for entertainment. They sang and
played guitars. From reports, they
were most enjoyable. Virginia Gray
met me in the hall and told me
about them and Ben Stone added a
highlight. Ben has known Skeeter
for years over in Lead. Skeeters
mother, Mrs. Boyer, made the best
chili for miles around and served it
in bowls with handles. The hot chili
would steam up the windows.
Thank you to my daughter,
Carol, who sent a beautiful Easter
card and photos of her four great-
grands, Delilah, three and one half,
Sophia, almost two, Tony, one and
a half, and Faith, two, at Wall
Drug, along with us. There was
also a photo of Leslies daughter,
Carol Marie, and her husband,
Lance Salinas, and their Chelsea
Agelo.

pattern. It has snowmen and pine
trees and moons, alternating with
nine-patch squares. Irene Cox,
Margaret Jacobs, Mary Lou Peters,
and Addie Rorvig cut designs for
the blocks and Irene ironed too. An-
netta Hansen and Vivian Hansen
sewed quilt blocks. Sandi arranged
fabrics, and kept us all on the
straight and narrow. Plus, she
brought some great cinnamon
bread. At the same time while were
quilting, Susan, Ina Oerlline, Irene
Arbach, and Shirley Hodgson
played whist. Marcella and John
Kraft came in to visit. John is stay-
ing all weekend. Charlie Hathaway
and Irene Brink also came in to
visit.

Agnes Tastad had a lovely potted
purple chrysanthemum. Who
would like an airplane plant? My
plant, that Ben and Danni Stone
gave me a couple of years ago, has
prospered and has many shoots
reaching out complete with roots.
My neighbor across the hall, La-
Verne With, kindly accepted one.
St. Labre Indian School sends
many dream catchers. Do you
know anyone who wants one?
My son, Leslie Hansen, Bend,
Ore., has sent me a new copy of one
of his earlier books, Cosmic
Quest, and a page of his number
puzzles, and a nice letter written in
green for St. Patrick.
Sunday, March 10, at dinner we
had a wonderful chicken cordon
bleu, and cinnamon rolls just like
old homemade ones.
At 2:00 p.m., we had church with
Rev. Richardson. Mrs. Richardson
and their daughter came along and
the daughter sang, Its a Me, Its a
Me, Its a Me, O Lord! Standing in
the Need of Prayer. Thank you.
Jack Humke played piano for
singing hymns: Bring Them In,
(This song had a delightful triplet
which Jack executed fluently.) To
God Be the Glory, O Worship the
King, and There Shall be Show-
ers of Blessings. Thank you. And
thanks to Rev. Richardson.
Those who attended church were
Eileen Tenold, Don Stensgaard,
Connie Stevens, and daughter,
Terri, Marilyn Oyler, Elmae
Helfenstein, Floy Olson, Lucille
Huether, Lila Fiest, Annetta
Hansen, Erma Brandt, and Vivian
Hansen. I might have missed a few.
Rev. Richardson spoke from the
book of Exodus. We felt better
when we got through that and re-
alized that we ended up here with
every comfort. In clean, warm,
beautiful Somerset Court. So what
if our feet hurt when we do laps.
We are at least walking. If we are
not walking, at least we have
power carts!
In our own lives, we have had
some difficulties, such as sickness.
And some of us worked hard for a
living. Do you remember wearing
patched jeans and having mostly
potatoes to eat?
We have this list of rules called
The 10 Commandments. We are
asked to follow them the best we
can, and the main one is, Love one
another. Be thankful for miracles
that happen all the time. Do you
see a leaf, or a feather Do you see
someone being kind? Someone
doing his work the best he can?
Monday, March 11, 2013, at
Somerset Court we had the activity
of crafting with Amy. Shawn and
Sandi were there to help. Thank
you for the fun activity of crafts
shamrocks with a leprechaun in a
top hat, beard and bow tie. Those
making shamrocks were Mildred
Young and Kay, Fred, Mary Lou,
Shirley Horn and her visiting
angel, Doris Black, Lila Fiest, Mar-
ilyn Oyler, Monica Gavotti, Ida
Lutz, Marcella, Eileen, Grace
Tillery and Vivian Hansen.
After crafts, Sandi, Addie, Mary
Lou and Vivian had a game of
scrabble. Mary Lou made a word
using all her letters, thus earning
50 extra points. We never did catch
up with her!
To explain this next comment,
you need to know that hickory
wood crackles and sparks when it
burns. I asked Charlie Hathaway
for a comment and he said, When
I die, I want a hickory casket.
Why do you want a hickory cas-
ket? I want to go through hell a-
snapping!
Sandi has been watering Char-
lies two big butterfly bushes all
winter in the third floor overpass.
On March 11, Charlie was clipping
off the mature blooms to encourage
the new growth of new blooms.
Charlie said that when spring
warms up, he might be willing to
buy some butterflies for the
bushes.
Ken Monette explained that the
dolphins he mentions in his article
recently, that he and his U.S. Navy
men were building in the South
Seas, during WWII were pilings.
They would sink about seven 40-
foot poles, that were about 12
inches across, in a clump with a
pile-driver and then band them to-
gether. These pilings would be off
shore about 500 feet, so the big
ships could come in and tie up to
them. Thank you, Ken.
Thanks to Marsha Sumpter and
Kent Fairchild for the Irish jokes in
honor of St. Patricks Day.
Ida Lutz, Somerset Court resi-
dent, has a new Loving Hands per-
son today. Rose Eixenberger from
Sturgis writes: I came to sit with
Ida. She is wonderful. I work for
Loving Hands. I really enjoy this
time.
The foot clinic was well attended.
We appreciate having Dr. Conrad
come to Somerset Court every
month.
Tuesday, March 12, 2013, at
Somerset Court bingo winners
were Mary Klauck, twice, Irene
McKnight, Lucille Huether, twice,
Marilyn Butts, Marjorie Gaffin,
Marge Self, Addie Rorvig, and Mil-
dred Kraemer.
For snack and chat, we had
minty green ice cream with tiny
chocolate bits in it. It seemed espe-
cially delicious.
Jeri Deschamp has contributed
a 2010 news item about Somerset
Court resident, Florabelle Powell.
Thank you, Jeri. You can read the
story in the Somerset Court scrap-
book on the coffee table by the fire-
place. The title of the article is
87-year-old still cutting her hay.
That was Florabella Powell who
had made hay for over 50 years.
Working her way up from a seven-
foot mower, then a nine-foot
mower. In 2010, she ran a swather
and cut 400 tons. How wonderful to
be a person who has had such a
productive life doing work she
loved. Her ranch is southwest of
New Underwood.
We welcome Florabelle to Somer-
set Court. Florabelle Powell is ad-
justing to life at Somerset Court.
She has had hobbies of crocheting,
toll painting and wood working.
She has had purple ribbons from
the Central States Fair for exhibit-
ing some of her creations.
Wednesday, March 13, at Somer-
set Court, Ben and Danni Stone
were having a family get-together.
Bens sister and brother from Lead
were at Somerset Court for a visit.
(Bens brother is also Bens adopted
son.)
Thank you to the Larry Quan-
vigs who came to sing for us. We
hope they will come again. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Quanvig have electric
guitars and they sing mostly gospel
songs. Many of the lyrics were com-
posed by Mr. Quanvig. There was a
good turnout of residents. Our ac-
tivity directors arranged seating
and provided ice water and also
served delicious snickerdoodles.
March 13, 2013, Gay Logan,
Philip, came to Somerset Court to
visit Vivian Hansen. Thank you for
your visit. We are long-time friends
and somewhat related, as her
brother, Donald Denke, is married
to my daughter, Delores. Gay plans
to go to Wyoming in April and visit
Don and Delores, their kids and
grandkids and Gays sister,
Cerellas kids and grandkids. Gay
sometimes comes to Rapid City on
the bus from Philip. Sometimes the
bus is driven by Kay Ainslie, some-
times by Norm Payne, Lee
Schoniger, Connie Schlim or Corky
Thorson. On this trip, Gay had
been to Spearfish to visit Hazel
Thompson, a Philip friend who now
lives in an apartment at Ponderosa
House, an assisted living in
Spearfish.
In a 1980 photo it shows my son,
M.R. Hansen, and his wife, Bar-
bara, standing among the stones at
Stonehenge, eight miles north of
Salibury, England. Stonehenge is
one of the best known standing
stone monuments because of its
long history and much remodeling.
It has circle about 100 feet across
made of 30 stone uprights, capped
with sarsen lintels. Within the cir-
cle is a horseshoe shaped setting of
five trilithons (two uprights with a
stone across the top). The stones
are thought to have been moved
from 20 miles away on the Marl-
borough Downs some thousands of
years ago. In 1980, you could walk
in the Stonehenge. Just a few years
later, we found big crowds and the
stones were chained off.

March 2012 marks the anniversary month of Virgil Dobby Hansens award of the Purple
Heart and Silver Star, which he earned on March 31, 1945. Dobbys hand painted billboards
graced the roadsides of South Dakota from the 1940s to the 1990s. His bold color schemes
and no nonsense, crisp lettering gave travelers along Highway 14 and Interstate 90 informa-
tion that could be instantly processsed at 60 mph. Dobby was quick with a smile and a hand
for friends and strangers alike. His favorite saying summed up his love for people, The finest
things in life are the friends along the way. Courtesy photo

Services
for Earl J.
E.J.
Root, 88, a
longtime
Casper,
Wyo., resi-
dent were
held
March 12,
2013, at
the Ore-
gon Trail
Veteran
Cemetery, Evansville, Wyo., with
military honors.
He died March 6, 2013, at Cen-
tral Wyoming Hospice after a
lengthy illness.
Earl, the eldest son of seven chil-
dren was born in Capa, S.D., to
Earl Charles Root and Helen Eliz-
abeth (Waller) Root, on June 22,
1924. He was raised and educated
in Midland, South Dakota. While
attending High School he was ac-
tive in sports, lettering in both foot-
ball and basketball.
As was common during the
Great Depression, he left school his
Junior year to work and help sup-
port the family and his siblings ...
thus starting his long career with
the Chicago North Western Rail-
road.
Earl enlisted in the U.S. Army
in July, 1944 and was honorably
discharged in June 1946. He served
in the European Theater as Squad
Leader of the 505th Parachute In-
fantry Squad. He attained the rank
of Staff Sergeant, and was also an
expert Rifleman. While in the Serv-
ice he was awarded the Victory
Medal, the American Theater Rib-
bon, the European African Middle
Eastern Theater Ribbon, Bronze
Battle Star, and the Good Conduct
Medal. Earl rarely discussed the
War, but he loved his County and
was proud to have served it. Upon
his discharge from the Army, he re-
turned to Midland and resumed his
employment with the Chicago
North Western Railroad.
In March of 1948, he met his
beloved Helen Mavee Stotts. After
a year courtship they were married
on April 30, 1949, in Philip. They
were blessed to have spent 63 years
together. To this union was born a
son and two daughters.
Earls main interest and joy in
his life was his family. He was a
great provider for his family and
possessed strong work ethics in his
everyday life, which he passed on
to his children and grandchildren.
As section foreman with the rail-
road, they lived in several small
towns in South Dakota, before re-
turning to Midland. With his pro-
motion to Roadmaster, he moved
his family to Casper in 1964, where
they have resided since. Earl re-
tired from the Chicago North West-
ern Railroad in 1987 after 43 years
employment.
Following retirement, he was
able to pursue his passions which
included hunting, fishing, camping,
and traveling. Earl and Helen thor-
oughly enjoyed their many trips
made to Mesquite, Nev., with their
dear friends.
Many fishing derbies were at-
tended by Earl, as well as countless
weekends spent with family and
friends at Pathfinder Lake. He al-
ways had a fish wager for the day
and collected it quite often.
His life revolved around his wife,
children and grandchildren, above
all else. Earl loved entertaining at
his home and having his family
and friends surround him. He espe-
cially enjoyed a good laugh with all
that knew him. Holidays were a
reason to gather at his home to cel-
ebrate. He especially enjoyed
Christmas, and preparing for the
traditional drawings held every
Christmas Eve.
He was a member of the Eagles,
Elks, Pathfinder Boat Club, and a
lifetime member of VFW #10677.
Earl is survived by his wife
Helen; son, Gary (Becky) Root of
Mills; daughters, Marla (Dan) El-
ston, and Luann (Fred) Trujillo,
both of Casper; 11 grandchildren
and 19 great-grandchildren. He is
also survived by sisters, Evelyn
Brownie Platt of Redding, Calif.,
Gladys Sanchez of Ramona, Calif.,
brothers-in-law, Gabe Sanchez, Ra-
mona, Calif., Roy Stotts, Sioux
Falls, Carl Stotts of Missoula,
Mont., and sister-in-law, Lois Mc-
Fall of LaBelle, Fla., as well as nu-
merous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his
parents, brothers, Charles Root
and Robert Root, and sisters, Mary
Jane Root and Clara (Root)
Roscamp.
Earl J. E.J. Root______________
Will Schofield, age 58, of Mid-
land, S.D., died March 15, 2013, at
the Hans P. Peterson Memorial
Hospital in Philip.
William Ray Schofield was born
November 6, 1954, in Pierre, the
son of Harry H. Hank and Eva
Pauline (Fosheim) Schofield. He
was baptized and confirmed in the
Trinity Lutheran Church of Mid-
land. He attended school through
10th grade in Midland.
Growing up on the family ranch
gave Will a great love for the out-
doors that he has since passed on
to his kids and grandkids. He was
an avid hunter, fisherman, and
trapper. He was a true cowboy at
heart and enjoyed working cattle,
breaking and riding horses. Over
the years, these skills were put to
good use working for several farm-
ers and ranchers in the Midland
area. Will was recognized most for
his beautiful smile, outrageous
sense of humor and contagious
laugh. He had a great passion for
music and played in a band for sev-
eral years. He loved to dance and
play the drums and he had a beau-
tiful singing voice.
Will loved all of his family and
friends and he especially enjoyed
the time he got to spend with his
grandchildren. He had the biggest
heart you could ever find; he was
always willing to help and expected
nothing in return.
Will is survived by a special
friend, Charlene Ceniceros of
Belvidere; five children, Justin
Schofield of Midland and his son,
Trace, Jared Schofield (Chaney) of
Cody, Neb., and their sons, Dyson,
Chayson, Tyan and Ryden, Roger
Schofield (Gayla) of Faith and their
daughter, Tayton, Hallie (Nick)
Konst of Philip and their children,
Chevy and Memphis, and Forrest
Schofield of Wright, Wyo.; his
mother, Pauline Schofield, of
Philip; four brothers, Monte
Schofield and Lucas (Brigit)
Schofield, both of Midland, Kirby
(Nancy) Schofield of Belvidere,
Wesley (Marina) Schofield of Tru-
man, Minn.; three sisters, Jill
(Wayne) Splitt of Wichita, Kan.,
June (Leroy) Fedderson and Julie
(Larry) McLaughlin both of Mid-
land; and a host of other relatives
and friends.
He was preceded in death by his
father, Harry H. Hank Schofield;
his brother, Travis Todd Schofield;
a nephew, Casey Leroy Fedderson;
and a great-nephew, Reid Chris-
tian Palecek.
At Will's request, cremation has
taken place.
A memorial service is scheduled
for 3:00 p.m. on Friday, March 22,
at the Midland School Gym with
Pastor Tel Saucerman officiating.
Private family interment will
take place at the Midland Ceme-
tery at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family re-
quest that a memorial be estab-
lished.

after both parents.
50 Years Ago
March 21, 1963
Ten-year-old David Hansen
(Fuddy), son of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil
Hansen received some vital Scout-
ing training last Sunday when he
was lost for 3 hours in the Bad-
lands Basin, south of Kadoka.
Young Hansen, too young for the
Boy Scouts, had permission to ac-
company the rest of the local troop
on a regular Sunday outing, as his
older brother, Leslie Hansen, was
to lead the troop. (Fuddy) enjoying
the day by rock hunting, strayed
from the rest of the troop and be-
came lost in the rugged terrain
near the Floyd Munger ranch.
After discovering the lad was
lost, Scoutmaster Lee Schoniger
and Leslie Hansen walked back,
looking for him. Bus McIlravy, as-
sisting Schoniger on the outing, got
word to the Kadoka Fire Depart-
ment and Marvin Hogen with his
airplane, along with other radio
equipped cars searched for the lad.
However, the local lad realized
he was lost, walked out by himself,
backtracking to a point exactly
where the troop had started in the
first place, a short way from the
Munger ranch. When asked if he
was scared, he replied, no, not
much, because I had my rockhound
pick with me. He knew that bob-
cats were reported in the area.
Old Trail News The Walking
Craze has come to Philip on Tues-
day. Mrs. Jean Hunt strolled from
town to spend the afternoon with
Pauline Eggers. It took her a little
over an hour.

Midland News
It feels good to be back home
and doing my news column from
my desk computer. Just between
you and me, laptop computers and
I are not the best of friends. My
fingers seem to take on a mind of
their own and I find myself doing
a lot of backspacing. Whats that
saying, Mind over matter? Tell
that to my fingers. As, I mentioned
in last weeks news column, I got
back from Mitchell Monday after-
noon. From there the week went
on to be a very busy week. But,
thats another story. Tuesday,
Jerry and I were off to Philip to the
Philip Livestock Auction, as that
was the day they were auctioning
off the cattle brand of the late
Frank and Floriene Schwalm. We
much appreciate Thor Roseth,
owner of the Philip Livestock Auc-
tion, for being a part of that sale.
We met our son-in-law, Steve
Meeker, Spearfish, Frank and Flo-
rienes daughters, Mary Scott and
friend, Mike, and Linda and Phil
Bowman, Pierre. Much thanks
goes to Sam Koedam, Philip, for
buying the brand. Following the
sale, we all headed to a local
restaurant for lunch. Jerry, Linda,
and Mary shared memories of
being neighbors while growing up
north of Midland, sharing those
stories of Frank and Floriene. Lots
of good memories! It was a fun, fun
time of visiting. The selling of the
brand was the beginning of a
Schwalm scholarship, which would
be combined with the Olga Meyers
and Harold DeYoung Scholarship
Foundation which had already
been established at Black Hills
State University at Spearfish. The
whole idea of a scholarship fund
began back in February 1992. My
mother, Olga Meyers, passed away
February 19, 1992. As many of you
know, she was a teacher for most
of her life. Because of that, my
husband, Jerry Nemec, got the
idea to establish a scholarship
fund in her name at BHSU for stu-
dents studying to become teachers.
My brother, Phil Meyers, and I
liked the idea and so the journey
began. The scholarship fund has
been renamed the Meyers, DeY-
oung and Schwalm Scholarship
Foundation. With monies from the
Meyers and DeYoung Scholarship
already in the fund, the sale of the
brand and monies from Mary and
Linda, the scholarship fund is now
at $17,500.00. We all are most
happy about that. The legacy of
Olga, Harold, Frank and Floriene
continues in the helping of college
students, in whatever field they
choose, to a journey that awaits
them.
It kind of makes me think of a
book I just finished reading, The
Blue Bottle Club by Penelope J.
Stokes. This book is about four
girls, its their senior year, and
they are best friends. It was
around Christmas time and they
went up to the attic of the home of
one of the girls. In that attic, they
wrote on paper their dreams and
hopes for the future, putting them
in this blue bottle, they left it in a
special place in the attic. Their
lives went in different directions,
the blue bottle forgotten. Many
years later that bottle was found.
The house had deteriorated and
was being torn down, when one of
the workers found that bottle in
the attic of that home. A lady news
reporter told of this grand house,
in its day, being torn down and
was given that blue bottle, by that
worker. She was about to embark
on the journey of a lifetime. Life
can take us on some interesting
journeys can it not? Its all in how
we look at that journey that gives
it meaning.
Correction: The date for the Ed-
ucation Fair at the Midland School
is on April 11, not April 12. This is
a busy evening as students share
projects they have done thorough-
out the year with their parents
and grandparents. Edna Dale and
Lee Anna Fitzgerald are coaching
the tumblers, getting them ready
for a performance that evening.
There are a lot of others things
going on that evening, so be watch-
ing for more information. The Mid-
land library will be serving their
annual soup and sandwich supper,
so stop in for a tasty bowl of soup.
Notice: The annual Easter egg
hunt will be held Thursday, March
28, at the Midland Town Park. The
preschool will start at 2:30 M.T.
The kindergarten and grades one,
two, and three will be at 3:30 M.T.
In case of rain, the egg hunt will be
held in the Midland Legion Hall on
Main Street. This event is spon-
sored each year by the Midland
American Legion Auxiliary.
We wish to express our sincere
sympathies to the family of Earl
(Lou) Root who passed away-
Wednesday, March 6, at Casper,
Wyo., where he and his wife, Helen
(Stotts) Root, lived for many years.
He worked for the CNW railroad
for 43 years. Roy Hunt and Sam
Root, Midland, attended the fu-
neral service. Those from Riverton,
Wyo., at the funeral were Cliff
Root, Dan and Dorothy Root and
their daughter, Jada, and Bob
Marrington. Anyone wishing to
read Lous obituary you can go to
www.Bustardsfuneralhome.com.
Edith (Foshiem) Schofield
shared some memories of Lou and
Helen as follows: Just a word
about our dear friends, E. J. (Lou)
and Helen (Stotts) Root. Such won-
derful lifelong friends from way
back to the 40s in good old Mid-
land, S.D., to Casper, Wyo., from
1968, to present day. Mike Root,
was Lous uncle and was married
to my dads sister, Emma Fosheim,
and my brother, Richard Fosheim,
married Helens sister, Alice Mae
Stotts. That makes them family as
far as Im concerned. Lous job took
the family to Casper, Wyo., in 1964
and on one of their visits back to
Midland he had a long talk with
Martin and told him there was a
lot of work in Casper. Since we
were struggling to make a living,
Martin working out on a ranch,
the country schools closing, the
kids and I having to maintain a
place in town so the kids could go
to Midland school; we decided to
check out Casper, Wyo. We made
the move in 1968 and we owe Lou
and Helen so much for their en-
couragement and friendship over
the years. The years have been
good to us, with work opportuni-
ties for both Martin and I and so
many more opportunities for our
kids. We have made good use of
the medical facilities over the
years and our oldest daughter has
had many advantages with the op-
portunities Wyoming provides for
mentally challenged young people.
Lou was a regular visitor at our
home as long as he could drive that
big pickup and we had many good
visits, sharing news from South
Dakota. He made it a point to
bring Suzy a Reeses Peanut Butter
Cup when he came and she would
always tell him that he was a good
man. He got such a kick out of
that. Thanks, Edith, for sharing
your memories of Lou. When folks
move from Midland there isnt that
day-to-day connection.
Karel Reiman left for Rapid
City Friday, March 8, meeting
family members at a local restau-
rant. The occasion was a celebra-
tion of her mom, Goldie
Eisenbrauns, (94) birthday.
Everyone had a good time sharing
memories. Sunday, Karel, her sis-
ter, Paula Eisenbraun, and her sis-
ter-in-law, Linda Eisenbraun,
went to the Good Samaritan Cen-
ter in New Underwood for the 88th
birthday celebration of their aunt,
Tillie Eisenbraun. It was also a
mini-reunion as they renewed ac-
quaintances with family they had-
nt seen for some time. Kalvin
Eisenbraun and his two girls were
also there. His wife, Heather
(Slovek) Eisenbraun, was unable
to come as she had to work. Kalvin
and Heather live on the place
owned by her dad, Paul Slovek,
and Kalvin works for him.
Monday of last week, Jen Jones
had appendix surgery at Rapid
City. While she and husband, Jeff,
were in Rapid their kids stayed
with grandpa and grandma, Mor-
rie and Barb Jones. Reports are
Jen is back home and feeling much
better. That is good news!
Monday of last week, Clint and
Prerry Saucerman took her mom,
Marlin Evans, to Rapid City for a
doctors appointment. Later in the
day, Clint and Marlin headed for
home leaving Prerry at the home
of son, Tel and Ellie Saucerman
and family. Tel and Ellie were at a
pastors retreat. Ellies folks, Mark
and Glenda Nemec, Hill City,
stayed with the kids through Sun-
day night. Prerry then looked after
the kids from Monday, until Tel
and Ellie got home Wednesday.
Prerry, Tel, Ellie, Meleah and Ray-
gen visited Sawyers second grade
room on Wednesday. The students
had done some research on differ-
ent subjects writing it up in book
form with a table of contents etc.,
so there was a book viewing of
their project.
Sunday, Prerry Saucerman and
Carol Hunt went to Pierre with
Patricia Vollmer to a Diaper and
Wipee shower for Grayson
Schofield. Grayson was born Feb-
ruary 25, weighed 9 lbs. and 9 oz.
and is the son of Steven and Brid-
get (Vollmer) Schofield and has a
sister, Elizabeth. Congratulations
on that big, baby boy!
Trinity Lutheran in Midland
had a Seder meal during church
services Sunday. Members of the
Deep Creek Church joined them
for the service and meal. Ladies of
Trinity Lutheran are continuing to
work on high school senior gradu-
ates and military quilts. Plans are
to finish them next week.
Family got word that Will
Schofield had passed away at the
Philip hospital Friday, March 15.
Will was diagnosed with cancer a
number of years ago. Thankful for
the years he had been given follow-
ing that diagnosis, the cancer was
back. Will was 58 years old. The
last few years Jerry and I would
see Will on his rider-mower mow-
ing the yard of our former neigh-
bors, the late Bob and Pauline
Marrington. His memorial funeral
service will be Friday, March 22,
at 3:00 p.m. at the Midland School
gym with Pastor Tel Saucerman
officiating. Anyone wishing to read
his obituary go to www.rushfuner-
alhome.com. As you read what
people have to say on that web-
page, you see a side of Will you did
not know. Our sincere sympathies
to the family of Will Schofield.
We also wish to express our
sympathies to the family of Mary
Haughian who passed away
March 11. The funeral was at
Miles City, Mont. She is the grand-
mother of Jenna Finn, Midland,
and the mother of Theresa
Deuchar, Milesville. As Jenna
shares memories of her grand-
mother, you know without a doubt,
the love she had for her grand-
mother.
Folks were busy going to, or
watching, state basketball games
on Public TV the past few week-
ends. We watched some of the
games this past week. Dupree
played in the State B tournament
in Aberdeen and took third place.
Dayton Spiel plays on the Dupree
basketball team and is a grandson
of former Midland resident, Jessie
Mae (Foster), and her husband,
John Brewer. He is the son of their
daughter, Leah and Bryon Spiel,
Parade. Dayton is a senior so will
be graduating this spring. His
mom, Leah, has been taking col-
lege courses over the Internet and
will be graduating this spring as
well. Congratulations to both of
them.
A little bird told me former
Midland residents, Bob and Doris
Sheeley, were in town. They vis-
ited and spent Sunday night at the
home of friends Jim and Jan
Bierle. Bob and Doris moved to
Colorado City, Colo., a number of
years ago.
Keith Hunt, Christine Niedan,
Deidra, Blake and Stuart
Hackerott, headed for State B in
Aberdeen Thursday. Keith enjoyed
visiting with a number of folks he
knew that were also at the tourna-
ment. Following the games Satur-
day evening, they headed for
home. After hearing of the blizzard
conditions Aberdeen got on Sun-
day morning, they were especially
glad to be home. Sunday, they
were meeting the kids mom, Lisa
Hackerott, half-way between Mid-
land and Smith Center, Kan. Be-
cause of icy conditions here and at
Smith Center, they started out
later then planned. Christine re-
ported the roads were not good
until they got to Nebraska. Com-
ing home, to their relief, roads con-
ditions were much better.
The Midland Senior Citizens
met at the senior center March 4,
with eight members present. Pres-
ident Kandus (Shorty) Woitte
called the meeting to order and led
in the flag salute. The minutes of
the February meeting were read
and approved. The treasurers re-
port was given. Beth Flom moved
to accept the report, seconded by
George Anderson. Motion passed.
Shorty checked on the price for
the bottle gas tank we no longer
use. We will advertise it for sale
along with our Coke machine.
Mickey Woitte moved that on the
months when the meeting and the
Friday potluck come in the same
week, we move the potluck to the
third Friday. Beth moved to accept
the motion, Amy Hulce seconded
and the motion passed. The meet-
ing adjourned and cards were
played and a lunch enjoyed.
Secretary, Mickey Woitte
Im closing my news column
this Monday evening, as well be
heading out early Tuesday morn-
ing. If I missed your news I will get
it next week. Part of the activity
going on for us this past week con-
cerned the trailer house we lived
in before moving to the house we
now live in. That trailer house was
moved to the DeYoung place and
used during calving time. We no
longer have cattle, so we dont
have use for it anymore. Jerry
made a deal with Steve Daly con-
cerning that trailer house. And so,
Steve and his wife Julie began tak-
ing the skirting off Wednesday.
Thursday, Jerry and I had to go to
Pierre. When we got home we
drove out to see how the trailer
house project was going. We found
the trailer gone and everything
cleaned up as much as we would
have done it ourselves. It was
much appreciated, as that is not
always the case. Called Steves
mom, Judy Daly, expressing our
appreciation. Steve and Julie had
just left her place, and seeing our
name on the caller ID she reported
she had a trailer house in her yard.
She reports her grandkids, Carson
and Dane, are all excited about
that trailer house. Their plan is to
move in when they are 10 and each
have picked out their bedroom and
have divided up the chores. Oh,
our youth, and how excited they
can get. Its refreshing. Of course,
Carson and Dane already have a
home they live in with their par-
ents, Steve and Julie. Its just en-
joyable to hear their excitement
over a trailer house that was a
part of our lives for a number of
years.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow
is a mystery. And today? Today is
a gift. Thats why we call it the
present. Babatunde Olatunji

Amish newspaper magazine.
Wishing you a good day and a
great week!

A suggestion from a reader is to
use hydrogen peroxide to loosen a
rusty nut or screw. They advise
pouring a little on top of the
bolt/screw and allow it to pene-
trate for a few minutes. The bolt/
screw should then be loose enough
to turn.
,.
Empty egg cartons can be used
to keep your boot tops from sag-
ging over to their sides. Just slip
the egg carton in the top of the
boot and it will stay up straight.
,.
This one sounded like a good one
to try - Instead of frosting your
cupcakes use a marshmallow.
Simply place one large marshmal-
low on top of each cupcake two
minutes prior to taking them out
of the oven.
,.
For you crocheters and knitters
this might be a good idea - put
your ball of string in a beverage
pitcher with a lid. The ball of yard
stays in one place and the thread
feeds out the spout. Ive seen some
round, gallon pitchers that would
be perfect for this.
,.
A new use for your old doilies is
to make them into bowls, using a
blown up balloon or a glass bowl as
your form. I would suggest setting
you bowl in a tray to catch any run
off. Soak the doily in liquid starch
for about one minute. Gently
wring out starch. The more starch
removed the quicker the drying
time, but the bowl will be weaker.
Gently smooth doily around form.
Let dry completely. This may take
several hours depending on the
amount of starch and the humidity
in the air.
Once dry, gently remove the
dried doily from the bowl.
,.
Along that same line are button
bowls. These are very pretty, but I
think it would take more patience
than I have. From what Ive found
there are two ways to go about
this.
One is to blow up a balloon,
cover the desired area with glue
and add buttons. Youre fighting
gravity so this might be where my
patience would leave. Once the de-
sired amount of buttons are ad-
hered, let dry. Then coat three
times with more glue, allowing
each coat to dry completely. When
finished deflate the balloon and
you have your bowl. Thick glue
works best, even letting it get
tacky before applying buttons
seems to help a website said. Also
dont pop the balloon the force
could damage the bowl; instead let
the air out slowly.
The second version is to cover
the inside of a form a bowl, plate,
serving dish, etc. with aluminum
foil. Then lay down your glue and
buttons. Again topcoat with more
glue. Going this route I would
think you could aid the process by
tacking them together with hot
glue.

The luck of the Irish is upon you.
I didnt find any major old stuff to
share this week. But dont relax too
much, Im still looking.
Monday, Tony Harty was by our
place a couple of times. His first at-
tempt to give me the news was in-
terrupted by telephone calls that
needed to be taken care of, so he
caught up on reading the newspa-
pers then went on his way, return-
ing to finish the news. During the
extra time, he visited at the L.D.
and Shirley Hair home. Hairs were
busy getting things lined up and
left for Oelrich for work. Tony vis-
ited with his niece, Janelle Hicks,
at her daughters day care. Carol
Solon stopped by Tonys in the af-
ternoon to pick up some things and
visit.
Tuesday, Bonnie Riggins (Mrs.
Wayne Riggins) was a visitor at our
place in the morning. Phyllis Word
was a visitor in the afternoon. Bill
went to Philip for cards in the af-
ternoon and I met Lee Vaughan,
Ruth (Vaughan) Carley and Tim
Modde and we all attended the
safety meeting for the Civil Air Pa-
trol in Pierre. We were going to
grab something to eat on the way
home, but two establishments saw
us coming and shut off the lights
and locked the doors! We did man-
age to locate some food and Lee
drove us home, avoiding deer really
well.
Tuesday, Tony Harty picked up
mail and did a check at Hairs to be
sure gates were secure and such.
When Don Moody was in Kadoka to
get his drivers license, he stopped
for a visit with Tony in the after-
noon. Interesting, the document
given by the hospital when Don
was born that was supposed to be a
birth certificate and probably was
used to get a Social Security card,
isnt good enough now in the State
of South Dakota, it will take a no-
tarized form and $20 sent to the
county in California to get a certi-
fied birth certificate!
Don and Vi Moody left the Rapid
Valley area Tuesday to spend sev-
eral days at the ranch. They had
received lots of calls from friends
and relatives while Vi was hospi-
talized with a severe case of para-
influenza. Marsha Sumpter visited
twice and Vi's cousins, Raymond
and Joyce Roghair, visited one af-
ternoon. News from the Roghairs is
that Nell Lou is visiting her broth-
ers, Henry, Ray, and family, who
live near Murdo. Nell has spent the
greater part of her life as a mis-
sionary in Japan and she is in
South Dakota for the next three
weeks. Her nephew, Paul, substi-
tute teaches in Kadoka and they
have a new baby, Jack Henry, who
Don and Vi have yet to meet.
Jessica Gittings and Daniel vis-
ited George Gittings Wednesday
afternoon. Sandee Gittings visited
Peggy and Pee Wee Hook Wednes-
day afternoon.
Boy, was Wednesday one of those
days to write home about! It was
beautiful the entire day. I headed
to the airport. The time had come
to take the little plane out for some
exercise, the runway was dry and
all systems go. Surprisingly dams
south of Interstate 90 have quite a
bit of water, but are relatively shal-
low. This would have been a good
winter to clean out some of those
dams that were dry. With a little
frost, Bill and I cleaned one dam,
filled in some washouts, built the
bank up better and a better over-
flow and rain came and filled it up
overnight. The frost helped us get
the ground that still held moisture
out. A good project on a mild winter
and made for good water for live-
stock and wildlife after water
came. Anyway, I checked on what
the Solon ranch was up to, circled
Moodys and looked over the little
farm before calling it a day. Dean
Parsons was out looking over fields
in the area and stopped for a cup of
coffee in the afternoon. Phyllis
Word was also a visitor in the after-
noon. Another pilot over here said
he had a couple of controlled
crashes when he flew later that
same day.
Wednesday morning, Don Moody
had an appointment with the doc-
tors in Philip, and Vi missed the
flight of the Skyhawk Cessna mak-
ing a couple of passes over the
ranch. Darn washer and dryer
were making too much noise it
seems. Many neighbors are in full
swing with calving now and getting
busier all the time.
Tony Harty enjoyed the nice day
Wednesday. Phyllis Word visited at
the home of Tony Harty. Tony vis-
ited his niece, Kathy Brown, and
her mother, Barbara Herber, and
sister, Janelle Hicks, also were vis-
iting Kathy, so that was a real plus.
Tony gave Janelle a ride to her
home outside of Wanblee and had
supper with her and husband
Blake. Janelle was getting work
done on her vehicle was the reason
a ride was needed.
Our sympathy is extended to the
family of Willie Schofield. Willie
was a bowler on our team. He was
an energetic, enthusiastic bowler
and mom tried to curb some of that
exuberance, but to no avail. He en-
tertained the entire bowling alley.
Sympathy is extended to the
family of Clifford Keyser, who
passed away this week in the
Rapid City area. Clifford is from
the Ash Creek area, but has lived
in Rapid for many years.
While at the ranch, Don and Vi
Moody enjoyed a visit with neigh-
bor Rocky Williams Thursday af-
ternoon. They had just returned
from a utility vehicle ride checking
on water, pastures and traveling
through the trails. The fully en-
closed cab was warm enough with-
out even turning on the heater.
They trimmed evergreens and used
the dump box to rid the yard of
trash at the ranch. Its a handy
dandy little working machine.
Another beautiful day presented
itself Thursday. Tony Harty had
coffee out and called Russ Hattel to
get him up and moving. Since he
lives in a basement house, unless
he emerges from it, the outside is
pretty much obscured. You dont
feel the wind, see sunshine, or most
anything.
Thursday, Bill and I were up
early for breakfast then I took the
Haakon County Prairie transporta-
tion van to Rapid City with a cus-
tomer. As we passed by the
outskirts of Scenic, it was men-
tioned she would like to drive
through town, so on the return trip
we did just that. This driver missed
the sign that directed me out of
town. We had a scenic drive al-
right, into Kyle, then by her place,
and on to Kadoka. A bit out of the
way! While in Rapid, I had a visit
with grandson Zack Seager, Cori
and little Ryder. In the evening, I
attended the Kadoka Community
Betterment Association meeting
and supper.
Sandee Gittings brought Daniel
Jordan out after work Friday after-
noon. Daniel discovered that the
"trunk" on his tricycle was a great
tool that he could haul mud in up
to the garage, where he proceeded
to "camouflage" grandma's red
pickup.
Our sympathy is extended to the
family of Rita (OConnor) Nar-
cisian, who passed away in Col-
orado this past week. Bill and I
have enjoyed Rita and Frank on
their many visits to the Philip area.
Rita always shared some of her cre-
ative cleaning techniques and kept
up on the happenings of the Philip
community by reading the Pioneer
Review and expressing her pleas-
ure at some of the items. Her radi-
ant personality and quick smile
will be missed.
Don and Vi Moody returned to
their Rapid Valley home Thursday
night to be on deck for an Friday af-
ternoon appointment, and also in
time to get their newly overhauled
1960s Germany made cuckoo clock.
They found an antique from the
1898 Spanish American War of
which Vi's grandfather, David
Lampert, served at the Philippine
islands under Commodore Dewey.
It was quite a find for Don and Vi
to share with the Lampert side of
the family.
Friday was a foggy day, rain in
90 days, hopefully. Bill and I vis-
ited Dale and Cindy OConnell in
the morning and took the HCPT
van to get the oil changed. Tony
Harty stopped by for a visit, as did
Phyllis Word and Cindy Wilmarth.
Bill went to Philip for cards in the
afternoon and when he got home
we called Dale and Cindy OCon-
nell and took them out for supper
at Quinn. Something we hadnt
done for a long time, not since the
old place burned down.
Jessica Gittings came out to the
George and Sandee Gittings home
Saturday and had lunch. She took
Daniel home with her in the after-
noon.
Saturday, Tony Harty made a
trip to Rapid City and met L.D. and
Shirley Hair to deliver their mail
and visit while they were doing
business around Rapid. Tony did
some shopping before returning
home in the snow.
Bill and I went to Rapid City Sat-
urday and joined Casey Seager,
Philip, and other invited guests at
the home of Cori and Zack Seager
for the third birthday party for
Ryder, which consisted of dinner,
dessert and of course lots of gifts.
Bill, Casey and Zack worked on
Zacks pickup and darned near
froze. It turned cold, the wind came
up, and was spitting snow, then it
got right with it and things turned
white real quick as the snowflakes
got big and fluffy. We got home
about dark and roads were getting
a bit nasty.
Vi Moody wrote, Saturday
brought a beautiful snowfall
amounting to six inches or so in a
much of western South Dakota. It
was most welcome and yielded al-
most .26 of precipitation. The
snowflakes were huge, larger than
half dollars and the snow was
heavy and wet and all melted down
by mid morning Sunday in most
places. Don and Vi watched the St.
Patrick activities on TV at home.
They ventured out St. Patricks
Day Sunday for a buffet. Vi wore
her three strands of green and sil-
ver expensive beads Marsha gifted
her with at the hospital and lots of
green and silver Hershey candy
kisses which Vi shared with the
nurses and others who visited her.
Vi found it much more fun to walk
at their ranch when it was 74
Thursday than around the hospital
pods.
Tony Harty attended church
then went out for dinner Sunday.
He stopped by the state highway
department to visit with Kathy
Brown, who was just getting off
work. Tony stopped at our place
and gave me news in the afternoon.
The snow that fell Saturday after-
noon and evening was soon melted
away and running water.
Sunday afternoon, the Liverpool
Legends Beatles tribute band held
a performance at the Kadoka audi-
torium with the Kadoka Area
music students playing back up for
the band the second part of the per-
formance. Some of the proceeds
from the concert went to the music
department. Tony Harty and Mar-
sha Sumpter were among the
many in attendance. The band got
good audience participation from
young and old during the nearly
two hour performance.
Some women fight old age until
the day they die. Lady Nancy Astor
said, I refuse to admit I am more
than fifty-two, even if it does make
my sons illegitimate.
Betwixt Places News
by Marsha Sumpter 837-2048 bilmar@gwtc.net
The story about famous hills this
week recalls one that always drew
my attention. Anderson, Hill, over
by Wasta, is at the top of where the
Andersons lived and that is why
they called it Anderson Hill. My
memory of that hill goes back to
when I was about 12 years old and
my dad was hauling a load of fire
wood down for a family who lived
there. We got about to the top of
the hill where it was very steep and
the motor died on the truck. Dad
put on the brakes and pulled the
emergency brake and told mom
and I to get out and to get some
wood off of the load to block the
wheels, which we did. Then dad got
the truck going and put it in super
low and went up the hill. Mom and
I had to pick up the wood and carry
it up the hill to where dad waited
for us. Those were the good old
days that you hear people talk
about!
Then there is Stone Man Hill
where the Silent Monument is.
This brings another memory of
when we were bringing a load of
posts to my uncle, Nels, and aunt,
Ethel Carstensen, and there had
been a small shower earlier and it
had dried a little. Some of you will
remember how the gumbo got
when wet. Well we got stuck going
up that hill. Ralph Hansen and his
family lived close by and he had
lots of equipment and tractors as
he and his boys built dams around
the area. Cecil Hansen came and
pulled us up and over the hill and
we were able to continue on to
Carstensens with our load. Was I
ever glad to get out of that truck as
we slipped and slid around the rest
of the way there. If you could go
fast enough you could throw the
gumbo off and it would not roll and
build up on the wheels and bog you
down.
As I was putting the Grindstone
News together Sunday evening,
March 17, the wind came up and
blew something furious. The
weather forecaster said the gusts
were registered up to 72 miles per
hour at Wall, so I am sure they
were that high here also. It was
wet enough that the dust was not
blowing around. We had about
three inches of snow Saturday
night, but it was about all gone by
3:00 p.m. Sunday. The electricity
went out for a spell and I thought,
oh I bet I lost what news I had
typed up, but when the computer
came back on it was still there.
Thank my lucky stars.
Marvin said that we were getting
several calves a day now, so they
were busy getting them in as it
chilled down a little on Saturday
night. They were down at the barn
from 2:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. helping
a heifer calve and getting others in
and out of the weather. Carla Eide
and the grandkids were here over
the weekend visiting the Eide and
Ramsey families. Kiley, Marvin
and Vickis granddaughter, really
likes to help with calving. After the
late night, they let her sleep in late
that morning. They returned to
Gillette about 2:00 p.m. Sunday.
I went into the Philip Nursing
Home Tuesday evening, March 12,
to listen to the music of Chuck,
Ruth, and Tammi Carstensen and
Marianne Frein who were playing.
I visited some of the residents and
had an enjoyable evening.
Bob Thorson and his fiance,
Jodi, brought Jodis folks, Ed and
Cleon, in to dance. Jodi dances
with several of the residents, even
some of the ones who are in wheel-
chairs are pushed around in time
with the music, which they enjoy
immensely. Others who do this are
Gayle Rush, Debbie Hansen,
Phillis Thorson and Gloria French.
Lee Schoniger even made me dance
three times. Lee told me that I had
to keep moving or I would get old. I
must admit I was pretty rusty as I
have not danced much in the last
10 years.
I have danced since I was a little
girl, in fact my dad would let me
stand on his feet as he danced
around with me. After I married
Kenneth, we would go dancing
every week somewhere. We did
take up a little square dancing for
a few years with some of our neigh-
bors.
Getting back to the nursing
home, Jack Hansen was there
dancing up a storm. Jack gave
Tammi Carstensen an A+ when
she sang Daddys Hands. There
were a few who came over on the
mini bus from the Silverleaf and
there were senior citizens there
from their homes around town. We
are so fortunate that we have peo-
ple who volunteer at the nursing
home and Silverleaf. So, if you live
in Philip, there is no need to be-
come bored, just step out and do
some volunteering.
March 8 - 10, Kieth and Debbie
Smith went up to Lead for the
weekend to visit their daughter,
Chancie and Aaron. This was the
Grindstone News
by Mary Eide 859-2188
last weekend for a while to spend
with the kids before calving got in
full swing. Lincoln Smiths fiance,
Ella, from Aberdeen, spent from the
15th -17th with Smiths. Debbie
said she really enjoyed Wednesday,
March 13, as she got to keep grand-
sons, Logan and Myer, while Jess
went to Rapid City for doctor ap-
pointments.
Debbie has been attending play
practice in Philip, which will be a
sequel to last years play. But this
one, Debbie said has three men in
it. It is to be performed in Philip in
a couple of months.
Saturday, Kieth, Deb, Tucker,
Jess, Logan and Meyer Smith all
attended the 90th birthday open
house for Jesss Granddad Luede-
man at Quinn.
Sympathy is extended to the fam-
ily and friends of Father Reuben
Valades. He was well known in the
Philip area as a very kind person
who was always willing to help
everyone who needed it. I learned a
lot from him and he asked me to
teach the Catholic Bible study out
here in my neighborhood to the
Catholic families here. I was glad to
have had the opportunity and that
he thought I was capable to do so
and that he asked me to.

The third annual St. Patricks
Day five kilometer walk/run event
in Philip was held Sunday, March
17.
Its just for fun, and to give the
community something to do, said
Jenny Terkildsen, who coordinates
the event, with help from friends
and family.
Since it is held on St. Patricks
Day, there were prizes for the best
dressed and wearing of the most
green. This year also included a
one kilometer fun run for young
kids. All races started and finished
at The KinderCottage on W. Pine
Street.
This year, 44 people partici-
pated, despite the blustery day.
This is more than the participation
last year, which was almost too hot,
according to some returning run-
ners. All preregistered participants
received specially made t-shirts
that stated, Today I will run what
you will not so that tomorrow I will
run what you cannot. Water and
water bottles were donated by
Philip Motor, Inc. and First Na-
tional Agency. Any extra funds,
after taking care of costs and the
purchase of t-shirts, will go toward
multi-sport improvements to the
Philip tennis court area. This
years amount donated to the
Haakon County Young Womens
versatile court project came to
$150.
This years one kilometer participants in-
cluded Josie Rush, Keldon Fitzgerald, Kelcey
Butler, Kade Fitzgerald, Clarissa Heisinger,
Wakely Burns, Eli Heisinger, Drew Terkild-
sen, Lukas Butler, Creston Burns, Baylor
Burns, Michelle Butler and Katie Butler.

Walker, Christine Andrus, Madyson More-
hart, Julie Daly, LeeAnna Fitzgerald, Sara

Annual St. Patricks Day 5K run
Breezy and coolish, but still participants were smiling in the annual St. Patricks
Day 5K run/walk in Philip.
Members of the Philip Junior
High vocal music program took
part in the 39th annual
Lyman/Jones County Junior High
Music Festival, Tuesday, March
12, in Presho.
Approximately 240 students par-
ticipated, representing Philip,
Lyman, Jones County, Kadoka
Area, Stanley County, White River
and Wall schools. Approximately
200 people attended the evenings
concert. The festival alternates
from being held in Presho one year
and in Murdo the next.
It was a great day, stated Barb
Bowen, Philips music instructor.
Philip's spotlight song was Follow
the Sun by Joyce Eilers. It was a
great experience for Philip stu-
dents to experience a large choir
setting.
According to Kym Lebeda,
Presho music instructor and organ-
izer of the music festival, the days
rehearsals were done as a large
group, since the individuals and
school groups were supposed to
have the notes down before the stu-
dents arrived that day. Each school
had the opportunity to perform a
spotlight number for the audi-
ence a song that just their school
group performed by themselves to
show off their choir. Schools that
did a spotlight number were
Kadoka, Philip, Stanley County
and Lyman.
The songs rehearsed during the
day and presented during the con-
cert were A Patriotic Festival,
Two Too Wet, Inscription of
Hope, Sing Jubilate, A Whole
Lot of Love to Share and Didn't
My Lord Deliver Daniel. The guest
conductor was Susan Porter from
Platte-Geddes High School.
I thought it was a great day.
stated Lebeda. Mrs. Porter's en-
thusiasm was electric and the stu-
dents were engaged with her, and
that showed in the concert. She
knows how she wants the songs to
sound and didn't stop until they
were exactly the way she wanted
them.

For all your concrete

Practices for the track and field
season for the Philip High School
and junior high school boys and
girls began March 4. The team's
first meet is scheduled for Satur-
day, March 23 at Douglas.
We always just hope to be com-
petitive at the end of the year, said
head coach Tom Parquet. In the
past we have been very fortunate
and the kids have really stepped up
their performances. We hope that
they will continue to do this, but it
will be tough as we are very
young.
Every year is different as kids
change in strength and ability. We
will miss our graduates just like al-
ways, but we have several return-
ing. Young track people just need
to remember that the key is to im-
prove yourself throughout the
year, said Parquet.
The first meet of the year is al-
ways tough, as you don't really
know what to expect, said Par-
quet. We hope to get a base per-
formance from the kids so that we
know where and what to work on.
The Douglas meet is always a big
meet, with some big schools there,
and the competition is always
good.

The annual Philip Scotties girls
basketball awards banquet was
held Thursday, March 14, in room
A-1 of the high school.
Overall, I consider it a good sea-
son, said head coach Karmen Mar-
bry. You could tell we came a long
way and learned a lot. What more
can a coach really expect?
Assistant coach Kory Foss said,
From where we were at the first
game, it wasnt pretty, but from
there we did continually better.
They did pretty well this year as a
younger group. When it comes to
the season, thats how it works,
how well youre doing at the end of
the year.
The coaches first announced a
round of in-house silly/fun awards,
such as who texted the most and
who was the most likely to forget to
dribble.
The serious awards were more
difficult when it came to team vot-
ing and coach decision making. For
the junior varsity, deciding the
Most Improved Award recipient
was tough because, We saw a lot
of upward mobility, said Foss.
Team member Ellie Coyle ended up
with the most improved honor. The
Hustle Award, though there were
A lot of good workers on the team,
said Foss, also went to Coyle.
The junior varsity Spark Plug
Award for team encouragement
and positive attitude went to
Hanna Hostutler. She also earned
the 2012-2013 season Most Valu-
able Player recognition.
In announcing the varsity
awards, Marbry said, There were
many girls who were most im-
proved. The Most Improved
Award actually went to two play-
ers Holly Iwan and Ellie Coyle.
They went out there and pushed
themselves, said Marbry of the en-
tire team concerning the Hustle
Award, which finally went to
Krista Wells. The Scottie Award,
related to the most valuable player,
was also given to Wells, though, It
just depended on the night. They
all stepped up, said Marbry.
Marbry concluded with, I en-
joyed the season; looking forward
to next year. The team captains
for the 2013-2014 season will be
Bailey Radway and Madison Hand.
The coaches will help the team to
pick up a number of summer bas-
ketball camps and three-on-three
tournaments, and the players are
to take advantage of open gym
nights.

The Philip Health Services, Inc.
annual career day for area high
school students was held Tuesday,
March 12. Interested students
grades nine through 12 came to the
hospital throughout the day for in-
formation sessions .
Each session was presented by a
PHSI medical professional and in-
cluded hands-on activities, infor-
mation about the jobs typical daily
tasks, potential income, education
requirements and the South
Dakota schools where such train-
ing could be obtained.
Some of the sessions were very
popular, with 20 to 25 students at-
tending, said Jennifer Henrie,
human resources manager. They
especially liked being able to see x-
rays and touch medical instru-
ments and orthopedic devices like
an artificial hip and artificial knee.
I think the kids were inspired by
seeing people who have a passion
for their field and love their jobs.
In session one, the students
learned about emergency room op-
erations and the health unit coor-
dinator career from Linda Smith.
In session two, Nursing Manager
Tanya Haynes discussed the ca-
reers of registered nurses, licensed
practical nurses and certified nurse
assistants.
Session three was Mindy Green,
radiologic technologist, taking the
students through the steps from
taking the x-ray to viewing the dig-
ital images and answer, what is a
CAT scan anyway?
Dr. David Holman led session
four. He discussed the education,
skills and opportunities of a med-
ical career.
In session five, Laboratory Tech-
nologist Melanie Berdin used
demonstrations to illustrate the
importance of laboratory careers.
In session six, Dr. Clark Duch-
ene of the Black Hills Orthopedic
and Spine Centerex explained
about the medical specialty of or-
thopedics (care of bones and joints).

Thirty volunteers, all students
from the North Dakota State Uni-
versity, Fargo, N.D., spent their
spring break working their way to
Denver. One of the stops en route
was in Philip, Friday night March
8 and Saturday morning March 9.
For a floor to sleep on, the stu-
dent group donated several hours
of labor. Pastor Kathy Chesney
was the liasion in Philip, directing
smaller groups of workers to vari-
ous chores around the town. Some
did plaster work, some painted and
some worked at the softball/base-
ball complex. The city or other or-
ganizations provided the tools and
materials, the students provided
the labor.
The Pay It Forward Tour, with
its motto of Students today, lead-
ers forever, has several different
tours with different destinations
each year. The program literature
describes it as a multi-day, multi-
city experience that engages stu-
dents in service and leadership,
travel to and service in a new city
each day, learning about social is-
sues, building lasting relation-
ships, and making a commitment
to continued action when they re-
turn home.
The group that came through
Philip planned to spend Saturday
afternoon at Mount Rushmore. For
major stops, it had already been to
Beach, N.D., and was scheduled to
visit Livingston, Mont., Arco,
Idaho, Provo, Utah, Glenwood
Springs, Colo., and finally Denver,
Colo.
One of the volunteers summed
up her reason for joining the tour
was that she couldnt think of a
better way to see the country and
meet new people. The group was
led by four student core leaders,
and some of the group had been on
previous tours.

The 105th annual dance sponsored by the Philip Volunteer Fire Department was
held Friday, March 15, at the Philip American Legion Hall. From 8:00 p.m. to mid-
night, the band DeLa Cruz entertained dancers and listeners. The dance turned
out great. Everything went good, said Trace OConnell, one of the main coordi-
nators of this PVFD fundraiser. He said that the turnout was about average. Quite
a few of the kids stayed around until fairly late. OConnell noted that one of the
band members kids fell asleep in his guitar case. Shown is the beginning of the
evening when the youth were helping to get the band warmed up.

United States Senators Tim
Johnson and John Thune have an-
nounced that legislation to allow
construction of a visitor center at
the Minuteman Missile National
Historic Site cleared a hurdle after
it was reported out of the Senate
Energy and Natural Resources
Committee.
The legislation would transfer
approximately 29 acres of National
Forest Service land to the National
Park Service to construct a visitor
facility and provide parking. The
legislation is now ready to be con-
sidered by the full Senate.
We worked hard to establish the
Minuteman Missile site in the late
1990s, and with my legislation, we
can ensure that many more South
Dakotans and tourists from around
the world can learn about this his-
toric site, said Johnson, a member
of the Energy and Natural Re-
sources Committee. I am glad the
full committee approved this legis-
lation and it can now be brought to
the Senate floor for consideration.
The Minuteman Missile Na-
tional site is a reminder of the his-
toric and important role that South
Dakota played in the Cold War
arms race, said Thune. Providing
additional land to the Minuteman
Missile site to be used for the devel-
opment of a visitors center will
make a piece of South Dakotas
past more accessible to students of
history from around the globe. I
look forward to working with my
colleagues on both sides of the aisle
to move this important legislation
through the Senate.
The launch control facility and
missile silo that make up the Min-
uteman Missile National Historic
Site were preserved to illustrate
the history of the Cold War and the
role the Air Forces Minuteman II
Missile defense system played in
efforts to preserve world peace. The
Minuteman Missile consists of the
Delta-01 Launch Facility and the
Delta-09 Missile Silo, located about
11 miles from one another on Inter-
state 90.
The legislation builds upon a bill
passed in 1999 that established
Minuteman Missile as a National
Historic Site, which required that
two sites be evaluated as potential
locations for a visitor center. The
land transfer provided in the bill
would allow for the construction of
a visitor center and administrative
facility at Exit 131 off of I-90. The
bill would also transfer 3.65 acres
near the missile silo for visitor
parking and other administrative
uses. Congress provided funding
for the construction of the visitor
center when the site was estab-
lished.
Johnson and Thune reintroduced
the Minuteman Missile National
Historic Site Boundary Modifica-
tion Act (S. 459) on March 5.
Minuteman Missile bill can now
be considered by full Senate

CASA Spearfish Canyon
half marathon, 5K July 13
Governor Dennis Daugaard
signed a bill on March 8 that will
prohibit public schools in South
Dakota from signing exclusive con-
tracts for media coverage of inter-
scholastic events such as football
and basketball games.
The legislation was supported by
South Dakota Newspaper Associa-
tion and South Dakota Broadcast-
ers Association. It had been intro-
duced in response to certain
schools in South Dakota limiting or
prohibiting news media from cover-
ing high school events.
Lobbyists for the state's largest
school districts argued that the
schools controlled the broadcast
rights to school events and that
broadcasting those events on the
Internet differed from other forms
of traditional journalism.
The news organizations lobby-
ists told lawmakers that taxpayer-
supported public schools should not
be allowed to restrict media access
to school events and that the public
expected the news media to cover
those events. They also said that
broadcasting school events over the
Internet allowed more people to
view them.
Senate Bill 119 was approved by
the Senate on a 27-8 vote and by
the House on a 50-20 vote. It was
sponsored by Senator Mark John-
ston, R-Sioux Falls, and Represen-
tative Bernie Hunhoff, D-Yankton.
The bill becomes law July 1.

South Dakota Farmers Union
President Doug Sombke has been
re-elected to serve as the National
Farmers Union Legislative Com-
mittee chairman.
Sombke, a member of the Na-
tional Farmers Union board of di-
rectors, was elected to the position
by his fellow NFU board members
during the national organizations
111th anniversary convention held
at Springfield, Mass., March 2-5.
Its an honor to be selected
again by my colleagues to serve in
this important role, Sombke said.
In the weeks and months ahead
we have a lot of work to do. Our top
priority is to get a long-term fed-
eral farm bill through Congress.
We wanted to see a farm bill
passed in 2012, but now that the
previous farm bill has been ex-
tended well have to work even
harder to make sure farmers and
ranchers across the country have
the business certainty that a long-
term farm bill provides.
National Farmers Union is a
family farm organization founded
in 1902 with over 250,000 members
nationwide. The National Farmers
Union Legislative Committee is
made up of other Farmers Union
presidents from across the country.
The committee works with NFU
legislative staff in Washington,
D.C. on national agriculture issues.
Sombke, a fourth-generation
farmer who lives in Groton, was
first elected to the position in 2011.
Sombke re-elected national
legislative committee chair

The February meeting of the
South Dakota Student Council As-
sociation board was held in Pierre
on February 13.
This meeting was the finalizing
meeting where the board observed
and approved the leadership and
skill building workshops that will
be presented at this years state
convention at the end of March.
The board also finalized this years
convention shirt design, and dis-
cussed procedural changes to the
convention. They will be adding a
baggo tournament to the activities
night, which also includes a dance,
games, movie and a homework cen-
ter.
According to James Weaver, rep-
resentative for the South Dakota
High School Activities Association,
the board also approved a state-
wide community service project
called Project Warm-Up. This is a
great project designed to use 700
plus students at the convention to
make fleece blankets for children,
disabled, and elderly hospital pa-
tients. The blankets will be made
the opening night of the convention
and will be counted and dispersed
to the communities of South
Dakota on the last day of the con-
vention.
The board also sponsors a state-
wide fundraising drive that collects
money for the Childrens Miracle
Network. Last year the students
raised a little over $24,000, and the
members hope the state student
council can do the same again.
A member of that board is Philip
High Schools Tate DeJong. Other
members and their high schools
are Ryder Wilson, Wall, Brock
Gilmer, Sioux Falls Lincoln, Rae-
gan Arnoldy, Lyman, Madison
Mead, Tri-Valley, Erin Eickman,
McCook Central, Chase Conrad,
Rapid City Stevens, Mason Wen-
zel, Mitchell, Jasmin Fosheim, T.F.
Riggs, Pierre, Morgan Jones, Mil-
bank, Monica Peacock, Dakota Val-
ley, Lewus Morgan and Brayden
Vogel, Hoven, and James Mayclin,
Plankinton.
The workshops include: dress for
success, just dance!, keys to suc-
cessful fundraising, battle of the
sexes personal finance, drunk
goggles the dangers of drunk
driving, high school live it up,
publicizing with pizzazz, under
pressure?, use your passion, com-
munications, time management, ef-
fective communications, and social
media and the public perception.

well. Members from the club pres-
ent were Donna Staben, Tina

ter, Michelle and Rob Thornton
and family in Auburn and Barbara
