Sand County Foundation, the 

South Dakota Cattlemen's Association 

and the South Dakota Grassland 

Coalition have announced the 

Pat and Mary Lou Guptill ranch, 

Quinn, as the recipient of the 2013 

Leopold Conservation Award, 

which honors South Dakota 

landowner achievement in voluntary 

stewardship and management 

of natural resources.

know how precious the land is to 

South Dakotans who owe their

After postponing the annual 

board of equalization meeting due 

to inclement weather, the Haakon 

County Commission was able to 

convene April 16 for the meeting. 

Toni Rhodes, director of equalization, 

had good news and bad 

news for the board of equalization. 

The good news was that no objection 

applications were filed. The 

bad news, she discovered several 

parcels that had errors regarding 

soil acres. With those errors, some 

parcels were overtaxed and others 

undertaxed. She noted the errors 

occurred prior to her taking the position. 

After discussing the parcels with 

Rhodes the board approved more 

than 30 motions for either increases 

or decreases. 

The board adjourned as a board 

of equalization and reconvened for 

a special commission meeting. 

Highway Superintendent Kenny 

Neville discussed low maintenance 

roads with the board. He informed 

them that the existing roads noting 

livelihoods to our natural resources,” 

said South Dakota Governor 

Dennis Daugaard. “Farmers 

and ranchers, such as the Guptill 

family, take great care to maintain 

those resources for generations to 

come.” 

The Guptill Ranch is a 7,000- 

acre cattle operation. The Guptills 

have owned and operated this family-run 

ranch for the past 25 years. 

With their five children, they are 

caretakers of this special landscape 

in western South Dakota. The area 

no maintenance are invalid. He 

said he has ordered signs with the 

words, low maintenance, travel at 

own risk, on them. One such road 

is washed out and the landowner 

has created an access to his dam 

grade to make the area passable to 

local traffic. Neville noted that culverts, 

depending on size would cost 

between $9,000 and $21,000. In addition 

would be the labor to install 

the culverts. He added that the 

road has been washed out for about 

15 to 20 years. 

The board asked State’s Attorney 

Gay Tollefson about liability issues 

should there be an accident at the 

wash out or dam grade. She noted 

she would research state laws and 

report back to them. 

The board approved a right of 

way agreement with Golden West 

Telecommunications for fiber optic 

lines. 

The board clarified that while 

the bid for the sprinkler system for 

the courthouse and the Horizons 

group’s landscaping can be on the 

features grasslands with rolling 

hills and a main wooded creek running 

through the ranch. 

In 2000, as their children grew 

older, the Guptills decided to make 

changes to lower production costs 

and enhance the health of the land 

to make the ranch better and bring 

their family home. Innovation and 

change have been beneficial to the 

operation, according to P. Guptill. 

“The more we change, the more 

we learn,” P. Guptill said. “We hope 

we can help other producers bypass 

all the mistakes we made along the 

way to make their operations work. 

Our goal is to make the land better 

for future generations.” 

“The foreword to A Sand County 

Almanac, Aldo Leopold's environmental 

classic, points out, ‘When 

we see land as a community to 

which we belong, we may begin to 

use it with love and respect.’ You 

are unlikely to find agriculturalists 

elsewhere in our United States 

who exceed the Guptill family’s use 

of land with love and respect,” said 

Brent Haglund, president of the 

Sand County Foundation. 

The $10,000 award and a crystal 

depicting Aldo Leopold, will be presented 

to the Guptills at the South 

Dakota Cattlemen's Association's 

annual convention in December. 

The ranch will also be featured 

during a ranch tour this summer. 

The Leopold Conservation 

Award is presented in honor of 

renowned conservationist and author 

Aldo Leopold, who called for

same bid, the Horizons group will 

have to pay for the line to their 

area as well as the drip system. 

The board approved nine elderly 

and tax freeze applications presented 

by Rhodes. Approximately 

150 tax exempt parcels, which include 

churches, nonprofits, government, 

etc., were also approved. 

Rhodes informed the board of 

two tax refunds that needed approval 

due to clerical errors. The 

board approved the request. Seven 

tax abatements were also approved. 

Auditor Patricia Freeman outlined 

comparables in sample 

county support of the poor policy 

handbooks that she had obtained. 

The board members had not yet reviewed 

the material which they 

were given at the April 2 meeting 

so discussion was tabled until the 

May 7 meeting. 

The board approved for Rhodes 

to attend two meetings, one is in 

Oacoma April 29 and 30, the other 

in May for the annual conference. 

Four good neighbors honored 

A Good Neighbor Award recognition 

banquet was held Saturday, 

April 20, in the Philip High School 

gymnasium. Sponsored by the Catalyst 

Club, the event honored four 

local residents – Mike and Marcia 

West, Philip, Robert Young, Union 

Center, and Wayne Davis, Wall. 

Pastor Harold Delbridge, president 

of the Catalyst Club gave the 

welcome. The invocation and benediction 

were done by Pastor Frezil 

Westerlund. Gale Patterson, emcee 

for the event, said, “What makes a 

good neighbor? They go out of their 

way to help others. They find it in 

their heart to help others.” Audience 

members came from as far 

away as California and Alaska. 

Dinner music was performed by 

the Twilighters, a four-piece band 

from Wall. The meal was cated by 

The Steakhouse and served by the 

Philip Health Services Inc. Hospital 

Auxiliary. Barry and Edna 

Knutson, Philip, sang each honoree's 

favorite song during that 

person's introduction: Robert 

Young – “Amarillo by Morning,” 

Marcia West – “People Who Need 

People,” Mike West – “Lord Listen 

to Your Children,” and Wayne 

Davis – “You Raise Me Up.” Delbridge 

concluded the ceremony by 

saying, “Thank you for making a 

difference in our lives.” 

Mike West, Philip 

Michael West served in the Army 

National Guard and started his 

teaching career in the early 1960s. 

He taught for four years before 

joining his family business at 

Dorothy Brothers' Garage. He 

served on the Philip City Council 

as as mayor from 1975-1988. In the 

late 1980s the garage changed 

hands and Michael went back into 

the school system where he taught 

and coached. He spent many years 

coaching all the sports in the Philip 

school system and officiating for 30 

plus years. Michael has been inducted 

in the Philip High School 

Hall of Fame, 1996 Black Hills 

State University Athletic Hall of 

Fame, South Dakota High School 

Activities Association Distinguished 

Service Award, and 2012 

Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame. 

Marcia West, Philip 

Marcia West taught business education 

and physical education, 

and became the kindergarten 

through 12th grade school counselor 

in 1988. She dedicated her life 

to teaching, where she was an 

amazing influence on her students 

for 40 years, all in the Philip school 

district. Marcia was honored by 

being inducted into the Philip High 

School Hall of Fame, Philip Masonic 

Citation for Distinquished 

Service, Souoth Dakota Schol 

Counselor of 1997 and 2003, South 

Dakota Student Council Advisor of 

the Year, SDHSAA Distinguished 

Service Award, and BHSU Outstanding 

Educator Award. 

Marcia and Michael were nominated 

to receive the Good Neighbor 

Award because they are huge supporters 

and promoters of the people 

who live in and around Philip, 

where they are involved in the local 

organizations. They are faithful 

members of the First Lutheran 

Church of Philip, and have held all 

the offices of the church council, as 

well as being in charge of the 

women's group, the youth group, 

alter guild and ushers. 

Michael is the head of the AARP 

chapter in Philip. He and Marcia 

established the Old Schoolhouse 

Park and maintain it through the 

AARP/RTA group. They help maintain 

the Lasting Legacy Monument. 

Marcia heads up the local 

Retired Teachers Association and 

both she and Michael are past officers 

of the Philip Chamber of Commerce. 

They are involved with the 

Cancer Support Group and Relay 

For Life. They are members of the 

Country Cupboard food pantry in 

Wall and help with distribution to 

people in need in the Philip area. 

Michael is a member of the Haaken 

County Crooners, which raises 

enough money to gift a yearly 

scholarship.

Midwest Cooperatives proposes fertilizer plant in Philip 

by Del Bartels 

A special meeting of the Philip 

City Council was called for Monday, 

April 22. 

Jay Baxter, Philip site manager 

with Cenex Harvest States’ Midwest 

Cooperatives, presented a 

proposed plat and improvement 

plans. Midwest is proposing to 

build a fertilizer plant. What is 

now E. Cherry Street would be 

shifted over slightly for egress and 

ingress traffic. “Traffic will increase,” 

said Baxter. 

Baxter said that the company 

will help maintain the road surface, 

including applying dust suppressant 

two or three times per 

year and when needed. A water 

line will have to be moved to the 

south and circled back around. A 

sanitary sewer main will be hooked 

into. There is a storm sewer line 

that may have to be improved. 

Baxter provided material safety 

data sheets on five possible types of 

fertilizer that could be produced at 

the plant. Currently, Midwest handles 

only three of the five. All five 

are non-flammable. With a bigger 

plant, Midwest will be able to handle 

more if the market place has a 

need. 

“There are explosives down 

there,” said Baxter. “The grain elevators 

is probably the biggest explosive 

thing there; gas and diesel. 

And, we are regulated heavy by the 

state. We had a federal audit and 

we got an A plus.” 

The council will be kept apprised 

of further plat developments and 

proposals. 

The next line of business for the 

council was an update on the Philip 

Trails project. In order to apply for 

possible grants, the city has to be 

involved. An estimate for an asphalt 

covered phase 1 trail that 

would be approximately 6,400 lineal 

feet would be over $319,000. An 

estimate for concrete cover would 

be over $453,000. Possible grants 

would be a shared amount, with 

the city responsible for designated 

percentages. 

According to council member Trisha 

Larson, the Philip Chamber of 

Commerce will donate $20,000 to 

the trails project. Referring to the 

concrete option, “It’s better to do 

something that you aren’t going to 

have to maintain,” said Larson. 

Mayor Mike Vetter said, “My concern 

is, tight as our budget has 

been, that the city may get an 

amount that the city can’t match.” 

Finance Officer Monna Van Lint 

said, “If you can’t use it, you can respectively 

decline the grant.” 

The council approved Resolution 

#2013-05, authorizing the city to 

apply for a grant through the 

South Dakota Game, Fish and 

Parks’ South Dakota Recreational 

Trails Program. The city will have 

to match 20 percent of the project 

costs via cash, and equipment 

and/or labor. The council also approved 

Resolution #2013-06, authorizing 

the city to apply for a 

grant through the South Dakota 

Department of Transportation’s 

Transportation Alternative Program 

(TAP) funding. Here, the city 

would match just over 18 percent of 

the project costs. 

The city is looking into easements 

for the trail project, and if 

donated use of equipment and volunteer 

labor can count toward its 

share of matching costs. 

On the Wood Avenue and 

Walden Avenue Improvements 

Project, the council approved a 

temporary construction access 

easement with Michael and Tina 

Noteboom. The area will be reseeded 

when the project is completed. 

Residential garbage collection for 

residents in the Wood and Walden 

area during the construction project 

is a concern. Residents are 

asked to put their garbage out on 

the curb, and the city will pick it up 

for further pickup by the waste collection 

company. According to a low 

bid acceptance, the city will be 

switching garbage haulers come 

June. 

D&T Auto Parts, Dale Morrison, 

has withdrawn a building permit 

application for a 40’x 368’ access 

road across a drainage ditch. That 

application has been replaced with 

one for a 24’x 300’ access road 

across the drainage ditch. This application 

was tabled due to conflicts 

with who has permitting rights 

within the drainage area. 

Other approved building permits 

include Mitzi Boyd for an emergency 

sewer line repair, Beau Ravellette 

for a sewer line repair or replacement, 

Tena Slovek to demolish 

a structure at 102 N. Stewart 

Avenue, James and Betty Smith to 

put in block steps, Josh Tatum to 

put up a fence, and Rick and Selma 

Thorson for a sidewalk replacement. 

Two special events applications 

were approved. One was by the 

Philip Chamber of Commerce for 

has inspired Linda Eisenbraun to 

nominate both Michael and Marcia 

as individual recipients as Good 

Neighbors and generous givers. 

Robert Young, Union Center 

Robert R. Young was raised on 

the ranch where he and his family 

live, and grew up knowing you had 

to be a neighbor and work together 

in order to survive on the plains of 

Meade County. His wife is Susie, 

and his children are Brenda, Robby 

and Matthew. 

His parents showed him by example 

how to help and care for others. 

There has never been a time 

when Bob would not lend a helping 

hand to a neighbor in need. In the 

large electrical outages he would 

volunteer his equipment and the 

manpower to get the power back on 

and running. 

Bob has been a faithful and willing 

helper involving church projects, 

and for the past three years he 

has assumed the responsibility of 

heating the Stoneville Church during 

the winter months. When there 

was snow, he also used his own 

equipment to clear the parking lot. 

Bob has been manager of the 

Young Ranch for the past 12 years. 

The ranch has been in the Young 

family since 1908. Bob is the fourth 

generation to hold that position. 

Bob and Susie's boys are the fifth 

generation to proudly work on the 

family ranch. 

Bob proudly served in the National 

Guard of South Dakota for 

eight years. He has also been an 

active director of First Interstate 

Bank for the past two years. Bob 

has had an active part in the Enning 

Volunteer Fire Department 

for the past 35 years, the last six 

years as fire chief. Bob was a 4-H 

leader for 18 years with the Junior 

Stockgrowers and Busy Stitchers 

4-H Club of Stoneville. Bob and 

Susie held judging schools at their 

ranch for five years. They also 

served on the Meade County Extension 

Board for nine years. 

I (Harold Delbridge) have 

worked for this family and have 

night-calved for them for 14 years. 

I have always been welcome in 

their home, as is anyone else who 

happens to stop by. Robert Young 

and his family are true neighbors.

Scotty Philip Days activities, June 

14-16. The other was for the Philip 

Volunteer Fire Department’s annual 

demolition derby, June 15. 

The city approved a plat of Lot 

17-A, a subdivision of previously 

platted Lots 17 & 18 of Outlot R – 

where Marty Hansen plans to 

move a house. 

The city will be represented by 

its mayor and one council member 

on the joint governing board with 

the school district for maintaining 

the Memorial Field Park. 

The council will look into any 

possibilities for increasing water 

availability at the Philip Airport. 

particularly for use by commercial 

aerial spraying companies. 

The council established the 

wage, including mileage, for Brandon 

Boyd, as an additional police 

officer, for Friday, June 14, during 

the Scotty Philip Days weekend. 

The South Dakota Municipal 

League District 8 annual meeting 

has been scheduled for Tuesday, 

April 30, in Murdo.

Wayne Davis is lucky that he is 

a big man, because he has such a 

big heart. His heart would not fit in 

a normal-size chest. Wayne is always 

willing to come to someone’s

has accumulated vast assortment 

of tools and is always letting people 

borrow them when needed. In my

personal experience, Wayne has 

brought over his lawn aerator, 

plugger and sweeper so we can 

ready our lawn for the summer. We 

don't even have to ask. When the 

time is right they show up in our 

yard. 

One time Wayne was talking to 

a young couple and they were 

wanting to build a deck onto their 

house. The next morning Wayne 

was there early to start the 

process. This is typical of what 

Wayne does for his neighbors. 

Wayne is well known not just in 

the Wall area, but also in the surrounding 

communities. Having 

worked for Golden West Telecommunciations 

for 34 years before retiring, 

Wayne has made friends 

wherever he has been. Wayne is always 

looking out for his neighbors. 

If someone is gone for a while he 

will check on their property to see 

if everything is okay. I know if we 

are gone, our place will be well 

taken care of. 

Wayne has been the Wall 

Methodist Church's chair of the 

trustee's committee twice. He is 

currently serving in that position. 

Both times a major project needed 

to be done. Both times Wayne has 

gone out into the community to 

raise money for said projects. Without 

his leadership these projects 

would not have been completed in 

a timely fashion. Wayne is a standing 

member of the Wall United 

Methodist men's organization 

where he has helped in a variety of 

different projects. You just know 

that he is going to be there. 

Wayne has also been the youth

leader for the Wall United 

Methodist Church. He made sure 

that in the winter months the 

youth group would do something 

special every four weeks. This included 

things like going skiing in 

the hills or swimming at Evans 

Plunge in Hot Springs. 

As I stated earlier, Wayne 

worked for Golden West for 34 

years. He is now retired along with 

his wife, Gwen. During his tenure 

at GWTC Wayne attended countless 

seminars and classes to stay 

current with the ever-changing and 

expanding technologies that are at 

the forefront of the telecommunication 

industry. 

Wayne has been involved with 

many different organizations. Most 

of them involved the youth, but not 

all. Here is a list of some of those 

groups: Cub Scout leader, Webelos 

leader, Boy Scout leader, Girls 

Scout helper, 4-H helper, youth 

wrestling, youth softball, youth 

rodeo. He brought back the South 

Dakota Rodeo Association Rodeo to 

the Wall Celebration after years of 

not having a rodeo. He held the positions 

of president, vice president 

and secretary of the Wall Rodeo Association. 

Wayne is one of those individuals 

who makes a community successful 

and progressing in a positive direction. 

The Wall community, as well 

as those surrounding communities, 

are far better off for having Wayne 

and his big heart a part of them. 

Wayne was nominated by Gale 

Patterson.

Water warning ... by Del Bartels 

For years as a young child I looked forward every summer to my family 

spending many Saturdays at Roughlock Falls in Spearfish Canyon. 

Then, my world was simpler, seemingly safer. The canyon and the cold 

waters were still a best-kept secret of the Black Hills. 

My dad would take life easy, usually napping on a blanket on the 

grass under a tree, after a week of working at Homestake Gold Mine. 

Mom would busy herself with reading, putting out the picnic, clearing 

up the picnic, and expressing wonder at whatever my brother and I 

brought back from our excursions. Those treasures would include snail 

shells found at the creek’s edge, leaves with insect sacks still clinging 

to them, old bird’s nests, fallen branches that had interesting knotholes 

in them, and walking sticks that were carved by us beginning whittlers. 

We wandered the creek and paths, climbed trees, and always 

failed at talking ourselves into wading under the falls. 

My parents were calm about our wanderings. I hated cold water, 

thus I didn’t actually get in any that I couldn’t very easily step out of. 

My brother would boldly do absolutely anything, but only if he could 

talk me into doing it with him. Thus, we were relatively safe. 

Often, extra caution came by way of an old man who warned us and 

any other kids who might be there that the creek could sweep kids toward 

the falls, and nobody wanted to go down the falls. Rocks hurt. 

The grizzled guy had a knotty pine cane, wore a salt-and-pepper beard, 

and peered from under the shadow of a dark, brimmed hat that wasn’t 

quite a cowboy hat. I wouldn’t see him all day, but somehow his croaking 

voice came to us from a picnic table, the steps to a walk bridge, or 

a tree stump where he was sitting. His voice never surprised us, making 

us jump or lose our balance as we stretched over the water playing. 

It came calmly, but it always made me step back, eventually finding 

some other interest and wonder than the water. 

One summer, I was old enough, and brave enough, to actually 

shadow some teenagers in wading under the falls. It was freezing, slippery, 

and the semi-cave under the falls was depressingly dark except 

for the blinding light glittering through the pounding torrent of water. 

I was chilled, bruised from falls, but had fun. It was anti-climatic, 

though; the fear that stopped me from going before was the real adventure. 

One of the older teens overheard me tell my brother that we didn’t 

have to be warned by that old man any more, we were big enough to go 

under the falls. The boy asked me about the old man, then described 

him exactly. He said that it was his grandfather, who had warned him 

and all his older brothers, sisters, cousins of the water when they were 

little. It seemed to be the old man’s mission in life. The boy said that 

his grandfather had died about 10 years before. 

The freezing water became even colder. I didn’t understand. I knew 

the old man – heard him and seen him. But I was only 11 years old.

I’ve had to be on my best behavior 

all week. We’ve had ministers 

dropping by right and left. One 

wants to give a good impression 

and all that. This might include 

keeping your clothes hung up instead 

of draped around on the furniture. 

Naturally, if you have any 

whiskey bottles or poker chips 

lying about you might want to put 

those under cover. Actually, we 

never have any whiskey bottles or 

poker chips to worry about, but you 

get the idea. 

As a kid, I remember my mom 

always hiding any decks of cards 

that were visible when a certain 

minister came to call. I’m not sure 

if the reverend was against all 

cards or maybe just gambling, but 

Mom wasn’t taking any chances. 

The folks were avid whist and 

bridge players, and Dad played 

many other games including cribbage, 

five-hundred etc. I couldn’t 

see much wrong with those activities 

so hiding cards seemed a bit 

odd to me. 

I always chuckle when I think of 

one local fellow who got a visit 

from his priest. This guy’s normal 

speech was liberally sprinkled with 

swear words. He barely said anything 

without adding some curses 

for emphasis. Anyway, in the presence 

of the priest, he was barely 

able to talk for fear of saying the 

wrong thing. He got through the 

visit by saying very little, but he 

was fairly tongue-tied all through 

it and he wasn’t a quiet man by nature. 

This is somewhat similar to seeing 

a police car when you’re out 

driving. You just naturally slow 

down whether or not you’re speeding. 

You might even cast around in 

your mind for any other possible 

violations of law that might be noticeable. 

In this area, we are somewhat 

prone to making U-turns in 

the middle of Main Street in order 

to park in front of a certain store 

instead of across the street from it. 

This is frowned on in some towns 

so seeing a police cruiser might inspire 

us to drive around the block 

so we can park where we want 

without making a U-turn. One 

local store has a parking lot across 

from them so I have found myself 

sometimes going into that lot, 

turning around, and driving across 

the street to park in front. I’m not 

exactly sure if that is more lawabiding 

than making a Uee, but I 

do it anyway. 

By one local town on the Interstate, 

experience has taught me 

that the Highway Patrol likes to 

sneakily park between lanes just 

over one little knoll. That way, you 

don’t see the patrol car until it is 

too late to reduce speed if necessary. 

It catches a lot of people unaware 

if you go by the speeding 

tickets published in the paper from 

time to time. Naturally, when I am 

in that area, my speed is strictly 

within the limit which it mostly is 

anyway, but occasionally I’m going 

a mile or two faster than what is 

allowed. 

All of this behavior modification 

is naturally geared to making a 

good impression on someone or 

other. We want them to think well 

of us, and many women especially 

want their houses shipshape before 

having visitors. I recall when 

it was Mom’s turn to host Ladies 

Aid (church women’s group,) she 

would often enlist my help in vacuuming, 

dusting, washing windows 

and the like. It was important 

to her for things to look nice 

so I didn’t object all that much to 

helping, but I was also relieved 

when it was over so I could go back 

to not worrying about being extremely 

tidy all the time. 

The best thing to do, obviously, 

is to always live in such a way that 

there is nothing objectionable in 

your behavior or lifestyle to worry 

about. Sometimes that is tricky, of 

course, so we have to occasionally 

make last minute corrections. 

Better yet, just associate with 

those people who like you as you 

are and are somewhat blind to 

your faults. They shouldn’t be completely 

blind since friends sometimes 

need to help you steer a better 

course, but somewhat blind. 

The other evening, our minister 

asked if he could catch a ride back 

to his home after a meeting at the 

church since his wife needed their 

car to take someone else home. I 

said, “Sure. Just give me a minute 

to clear out the beer cans.” Gary 

just laughed and said, “I won’t 

look.” That really is what is 

needed. Friends who don’t look, or, 

if they do, still think the best of you 

and like you anyway.

fuel/oil storage regulations 

The May 10, 2013, deadline for 

the EPA Spill Prevention Control 

and Containment (SPCC) regulation 

is rapidly approaching. Facilities 

that have capacity to store 

more than 1320 gallons of diesel, 

fuel oil, gasoline, crop oil, used oil, 

and/or animal fat in 55 gallon containers 

or larger need to complete 

a SPCC plan and install secondary 

containment for these containers. 

Producers who have total storage 

of less than 10,000 gallons can selfcertify 

or employ a professional engineer 

to complete their plan and 

design their secondary containment 

system. Those with storage 

of 10,000 gallons or more must 

hire a professional engineer. 

If you have storage capacity for 

more than 1320 gallons of petroleum 

products, and do not have 

secondary containment for those 

containers in place, it is not likely 

that you will be able to do so by the 

May 10 deadline. It is recommended 

that you proceed as soon 

as possible to install secondary 

containment, but in the meantime, 

go ahead and complete an SPCC 

plan. 

If you choose to self-certify, you 

can download a Tier 1 Qualified 

Facility SPCC Plan Template from 

the EPA website: www.epa.gov/ 

emergencies/content/spcc/tier1tem 

p.htm. A Tier 1 facility must meet

Hunter safety class set for May 4 

The annual spring hunter safety 

course put on by Kit Graham will 

be held Saturday, May 4, at the 

Philip Ambulance Service building 

at 100 S. Larimer Avenue. 

The course will run from 8:00 

a.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m. It 

is sponsored by the South Dakota 

Game, Fish and Parks department. 

Lunch will be provided by Branch 

85 of National Mutual Benefit. 

Parents can get more information 

and register their children by 

contacting Graham in person at his 

office in the Haakon County Courthouse 

or by calling 859-2850 or 

859-2325. Signed permission slips 

must be turned in before the class 

begins. Parents are not required to 

stay while their sons or daughters 

attend the course. 

Assisting Graham this year will 

be the area’s new GF&P conservation 

officer, Zach Thomsen. He may 

be contacted at 859-3006. “Please 

come join us on May 4,” stated 

Thomsen. For more information of 

this course or others, phone these 

individuals or view the GF&P website 

www.gfp.sd.gov and look under 

outdoor learning and then hunter 

education. 

The course is for youngsters ages 

12 or older, but the course will accept 

11 year olds if their birthday 

is before the end of this year. 

Adults are more than welcome to 

also attend. 

Upon successfully completing 

the course that day, attendees will 

receive a hunters safety card. 

Other items will be distributed, 

such as orange hunter’s caps, upon 

the discretion of the S.D. GF&P. 

Successful completion of a 

Hunter Safety Course is required 

by law of every person under the 

age of 16 who wishes to hunt in 

South Dakota. 

The hunter safety course will be 

provided only twice in Haakon 

County this year – this spring in 

Philip and again this fall in Midland. 

The course teaches the safe 

handling of firearms, proper hunting 

ethics and introduction into 

wildlife management and hunting 

laws. 

Tight hay supplies and high prices to continue 

South Dakota hay prices have 

been at high levels throughout the 

2012 marketing year. Based on 

numbers from the National Agricultural 

Statistics Service, March 

alfalfa prices were at $230 per ton 

and have remained steady for several 

months. The March price for 

other hay reached a record high of 

$170 per ton. 

“Usually, such high prices result 

in a shift in production and use. 

However, other commodity prices 

and input costs are higher too,” 

said Matthew Diersen, South 

Dakota State University Extension 

risk/business management specialist. 

He added that looking at this 

year's hay prices by adjusting for 

inflation shows that prices are also 

at record-high levels on a real 

basis. 

“Despite a price index, with 1982 

as the base year that has doubled 

in recent years, the real price of 

hay in South Dakota had not been 

above $70 per ton during the past 

decade,” Diersen said. 

The last peak in real prices happened 

in the 2002 drought year 

when the price reached $79 per 

ton. Diersen said 2013’s record 

rates are due to in 2012, South 

Dakota producers had expected to 

harvest 3.5 million acres of hay; 

and higher expected returns for 

other crops and drought conditions 

combined to reduce harvested acres 

to only 3.1 million acres. To top 

that off, yields were low, limiting 

supply. “The result was that price 

increased to the high nominal levels 

and a real price of $100 per 

ton,” he said. 

Price prospects continue to favor 

sellers over buyers. “Fall disappearance 

was unusually large leaving 

a stocks level on Decemer 1, 

2012, of only 4.3 million tons. The 

stocks level was the smallest since 

January 1, 1977, following the 

1976 drought,” Diersen said. 

He said current stocks are also 

similar to the levels in late 1989 

when there were only 3.35 million 

head of cattle in South Dakota inventories. 

On January 1, 2013, 

there were 3.85 million head. 

Diersen said modeling historic 

stock levels and winter use gives 

competing views of just how little 

hay may be left in South Dakota. 

“Usually, much of the hay produced 

in South Dakota is used for feed 

and not sold. As part of the collective 

feed inventory, one could take 

the December 1 stocks and use 

them evenly over the remaining six 

months of the feeding year,” 

Diersen said. 

He shared an example: on May 1 

only one-sixth of the December 1 

4.3 million tons in inventory may 

remain, or only 0.72 million tons. 

“Most years, producers try to maintain 

a surplus over that level. Likewise, 

high prices may mean some 

hay that was raised for on-farm use 

enters the marketing channel,” he 

said. “Factoring in the high price 

level actually forecasts a negative 

stocks level for May 1.” 

The high real price would normally 

result in sharply higher hay 

acres in South Dakota. Solid expected 

returns for other crops and 

the presence of revenue insurance 

have limited hay to an expected 3.1 

million acres. Diersen said a tight 

old crop supply, low expected production 

for 2013 and no difference 

in the national picture combine to 

suggest high hay prices will continue 

for the 2013 marketing year. 

SHINE seeks local volunteers 

The South Dakota Senior Health 

Information and Insurance Education 

program is currently seeking 

volunteers for all aspects of the 

SHIINE program. 

One of the primary functions of a 

SHIINE volunteer is to help seniors 

with their Medicare questions. 

Volunteers receive training on all 

parts of Medicare and learn how to 

provide one-on-one Medicare counseling. 

Volunteer counselors are 

vital to the program, as they provide 

opportunities for seniors to 

discuss their Medicare questions 

and concerns in person. All services 

are unbiased and confidential. 

Although volunteers are most active 

during Part D (prescription 

drug) open enrollment in the 

months of October, November and 

December, they are needed yearround. 

If becoming a volunteer 

counselor is not for you, please talk 

to your regional SHIINE coordinator 

about other ways to contribute 

your time and talents. 

Training includes all parts of 

Medicare, how to counsel people individually, 

how to provide referrals, 

and how to navigate the 

Medicare website and plan finder 

tool. 

Volunteer counselors should be 

comfortable using computers, the 

Internet, and meeting with individuals 

in public locations, such as libraries 

or senior centers. Volunteers 

can choose the hours they 

would like to provide services. A 

SHIINE volunteer may not hold a 

current license to sell Medicare related 

health insurance. 

To become a SHIINE volunteer 

or learn more about it, visit 

www.shiine.net or contact a regional 

coordinator nearest you:

Saturday, April 13, at Somerset 

Court, Addie Rorvig had company 

at breakfast, her grandson, Noah 

Lorensen of Rapid City. 

We had individual peach yogurt 

for breakfast. Thanks, very special. 

And we had cinnamon rolls, so I 

had to have half a cup of coffee! 

Mildred Young was out with her 

daughter, Carol Nielson and they 

went to meet Joyce Wheeler for 

lunch. Joyce had missed Mildred’s 

birthday party at Somerset Court a 

couple weeks ago, on account of 

driving conditions. 

My daughter, Carol Vogan, Colorado 

Springs, emailed that the 

tumbleweeds, brought in by the 

terrific winds, are so bulky that 

they need a special crusher. I believe 

my son, David Hansen, Ft. 

Pierre, could make such an implement. 

Are these tumbleweeds the 

thistles that make expensive thistle 

seed that people buy for their 

bird feeders? 

Carol is also moving her chives to 

make room for a rock area, and she 

said she is sending money to the 

Somerset Court beauty shop to get 

my hair fixed! Thank you, Carol. 

The April 11, 2013, Philip Pioneer 

Review arrived on Saturday 

and I read it pretty much cover to 

cover. I found a word that I had 

never heard of, vernalization. And 

I guessed that it must mean that 

the seed, wheat in this case, needs 

a certain amount of time in the 

ground in cold enough conditions to 

sprout properly. Faithful google 

told me that was about right. 

Sunday, April 14, Stella Hicks 

stopped by and said that she likes 

to play cards. She likes the game of 

“George” and “3-13.” I told her to 

come on over and show us how. 

Elmae Helfenstein said she would 

like to do crosswords, so I said we

Stella Hicks had a visit from her 

daughter, Linda Phipps, who came 

along to church. Irene McKnight 

has a bad cough and did not come 

to church. She has a vaporizer and 

finds some relief with that. We 

hope she will soon be feeling better. 

My son, Wayne, phoned at one 

p.m. and said that he had caught 

two fine fish, (now I forgot if they 

were bass or trout) and he would 

try to phone M.R. Hansen and Barbie 

and ask them over for supper 

and they could bring me along. If 

they aren’t around, he would come 

over to Somerset Court for supper 

and bring along my income tax 

which he had kindly done for me, 

so I can sign and write a check. 

Thank you, Wayne. 

My daughter, Carol Vogan, Colorado 

Springs, is still under the influence 

of piles of thistles. She had 

written a Limerick about them: 

There was a tumbling weed, Who 

said, “I must scatter my seed!” So 

he tumbled around, All over the 

ground, And now there are many 

indeed! 

Monday, April 15, 2013, at Somerset 

Court, we had the movie, “Little 

Women.” The activity directors 

took several residents in the bus to 

the dollar store. I had asked I had 

asked Sandi to bring me some 

flower pots so I could start a bunch 

of airplane plants for the May 

fundraiser for the Special 

Olympics. She brought me some 

potting soil as well. Thank you, 

Shawn and Sandi. 

Irene McKnight had company at 

lunch Monday, her son, Stan. Good 

to see you, Stan. Pat Staley also 

had company Monday, her sister, 

Kathryn Dennis, and her niece, 

Marilyn, of Rapid City who came

Happy birthday to my grandson, 

Blaise Hansen, Cheyenne, Wyo. He 

recently finished studies which 

grant him the title of professional 

engineer. He had graduated from 

South Dakota School of Mines and 

was also in the Army as a ranger. 

Most recently, he is working for the 

Wyoming Department of Transportation. 

An email just came from Betty 

Jean LaBeau, Philip. Thank you, 

Betty Jean. She said she was glad 

we take up quilting when the 

weather is confining. No time to be 

bored. She said we were blessed 

with the recent snow and rain. I 

was just going to email Betty Jean 

to ask her if she knew any Jarl 

family from Philip or Midland. I 

was pretty sure I had heard of 

Emma Jarl. Anyway, when M.R. 

Hansen and I were playing scrabble, 

we found in the scrabble book 

the word, jarl, meaning a Scandinavian 

nobleman. 

April 14, 2013, at 3:00 p.m. at 

the SDSM&T Surbeck Center, a 

leadership awards reception and 

leadership hall of fame induction 

was held. M.R. Hansen attended as 

he was receiving recognition as an 

outstanding student organization 

advisor. 

April 15, M.R. Hansen came to 

take me to Wayne Hansen’s for 

supper. First time I have been out 

since February when we went to 

Philip. 

Somerset Court is displaying a 

huge, gorgeous floral arrangement 

in the front lobby. The flowers are 

from the funeral of Ronald Bailie. 

At Somerset Court Tuesday 

bingo winners were Doris Wellman, 

three times, Mary Lou Peters, 

Irene McKnight, Irene Cox, 

Betty Downen, and Ina Oerlline. 

For snack and chat, following 

bingo, the treats were chocolate 

brownies, ice water and hot coffee. 

Saturday, April 20, 2013, a 

brunch will be served to people who 

volunteer at Somerset Court. This 

includes Amy Voles, personal attendants 

and our ministers and 

their wives and Women Who Care. 

We have a new resident at Somerset 

Court, Shirley Hussman. 

Shirley is a longtime friend of Connie 

Stevens. Dennis Eliason, our 

new driver, used to live at Philip 

for 12 years, some time ago. His 

wife had the variety store in Philip.

Dennis said he would be looking in 

the Pioneer Review to see if he still 

knew some of the people. 

April 19, 2013, I took a trip to Dr. 

Eaton’s office and he looked me 

over and prescribed amoxicillin 

and nose drops for my coughs, 

sneezes, runny nose and aches and 

pains. We were to start the antibiotic 

that night. 

The April 18, 2013, Philip Pioneer 

Review arrived on Friday. It 

had all the main local news. One 

item I could relate to was Jessica 

Wheeler’s third grade class and 

their study of a cow’s eye. The 

Philip meat locker donated the 

cow’s eye. It is a wonderful lesson 

to read print through the lens in a 

cow’s eye. When I taught at the 

Shoun School over by New Underwood, 

my pupils and I took a hike 

out in a neighborhood pasture, and 

dug out a cow’s eye from a carcass. 

We took it to school and studied it 

and read print through it. 

I liked Mary Eide’s story about 

an old neighbor, John Cowen. John 

lived a couple of miles north of 

Philip and he used to go by with his 

team and wagon on his way town. 

He would strip the wagon to its 

running gears, the better to bring 

back posts, boards, wire and fivegallon 

cans. He lived in a party underground 

home. His sister was always 

after him to have a nice 

house, so she built him a little concrete 

block building. By and by, she 

took him back to Iowa to live with 

her. One time, Virgil invited John 

Cowen in to have a bath in our 

bath tub. We could hear him 

splashing and singing in the bathroom. 

The West Central Electric magazine 

carried a list of upcoming 

events. Among them were the 

Shrine Circus, May 3-5, at the 

Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in 

Rapid City. Somerset Court will 

take residents to this event if they 

wish to go. The circus is free. If you 

want snacks or souvenirs, you 

must bring your own money. 

Another item that I noticed on 

the list is May 12, 2013, from 1-4 

p.m. at an art gallery’s Mother’s 

Day open house. This is an outdoor 

event, so weather permitting. The 

iron work there is unique.

As I looked out the window, the 

green grass is really coming to life. 

Robins dot the backyard, interspersed 

with meadowlarks, maybe 

they are the early birds that will 

get the worms. The little finches

in the wreath on the garage and 

one where they took over a swallow 

nest over our light. Last year, even 

with the heat, they hatched three

Man’s inhumanity to man, loss of

injured. Also, the tragedy in Texas 

with the fertilizer plant explosion.

Don and Vi Moody stayed around 

the ranch the greater part of the 

week and got everything taken 

care of before the forecasted 

weather change. Moisture is always 

welcome. 

Tony Harty made the usual trip 

for mail and had lunch out Monday, 

then visited by phone with 

family and friends. 

Tuesday morning, Bill and I 

stopped by Dan Smiley’s shop to 

check out the big door he has been 

crafting. It is going to be quite a 

masterpiece when done. I had a 

trip for the Haakon County Prairie 

Transportation to Philip and had a 

little time so visited Berdyn Parsons 

briefly, and did other errands 

around town. Bill was up to his 

usual playing cards and bowled in 

the evening. I rode over with Wendell 

Buxcel and kept score, riding 

home with Bill. It was beginning to 

snow when we were on the way 

home. 

Tuesday, Tony Harty got his 

mail, then went to Philip to get 

supplies. He also went to the sale 

barn and visited with folks who 

came and went. On the way home, 

he ventured off the highway and 

caught Don and Vi Moody at their 

home. They had an enjoyable afternoon 

of visiting about memories 

back when Vi and her mom, 

Shirley, and Tony’s mom, Margaret, 

and Tony met at Ranchers 

Bible Camp in the Black Hills near 

Nemo. Tony and Vi shared some 

stories about his sister and Vi's sister 

who went to St. Martin's Academy 

at Sturgis back in the early 

1960s and several of the local girls 

would carpool from Kadoka Junction 

on weekends to Sturgis. That 

saved the parents a lot of travel 

time. 

Wednesday, we awoke to wet 

snow. Steve Varner picked up a vehicle 

and took it to Philip for some 

work. I visited Les and Muree 

Struble in the afternoon as well as 

stopping by the nursing home and 

visited Ruth Klundt and Emma 

Jarl. About five o’clock I gathered 

the eggs and milked the cow, (in 

other words, went to the grocery 

store). That evening, I visited Bonnie 

Riggins at her apartment and 

she shared some desert with us. 

Cathy Fiedler reported that in 

the Sturgis area they have also had 

snow, fog and the temperature was 

in the 30s the better part of the 

week. The moisture has been great, 

but I’m so ready for some sun and 

warm weather. 

Speaking of weather, for so many 

months the news media had gone 

on about the drought all across the 

nation. Grain prices jumped 

around at each report. Now, “planting 

is delayed” due to flooding in 

the Midwest. Farmers don’t know 

if they will be able to plant the 

corn, soybeans and spring crops 

planned due to all the rain, snow 

and flooding. 

Thursday, John Kramer with 

West River/Lyman – Jones Rural 

Water stopped by to visit with me 

about some work. Tony Harty came 

by in the afternoon and we engaged 

in the game of farkel. I was the 

winner this time, but the word puzzle 

he took hands down. Phyllis 

Word also stopped for a visit. 

Class of 1963 is getting closer 

now to letting everyone know about 

their reunion taking place June 15 

and 16. Be sure and send emails 

and/or Facebook to remind everyone 

about the reunion. If there are 

questions please call Nancy Ekstrum 

or Vi Moody as they are 

planning a parade entry for Saturday 

morning and reunion gathering 

Saturday night at the golf clubhouse. 

They are planning for a 

great celebration and fun time to 

reunite during Scotty Philip Days! 

This will be 50 years. 

Don and Vi Moody went to their 

Rapid Valley home Thursday afternoon 

since they had appointments 

in Rapid City Friday. They stayed 

throughout the weekend to finish 

up more appointments the first of 

next week. 

Doug Frein helped George Gittings 

get some cattle moved out of 

the corrals Friday. 

Bill and I were on the road again 

for appointments in Rapid Friday. 

We met Zack Seager, Cori Barber 

and little Ryder for lunch. We enjoyed 

the company of a gal who 

needed a ride back to her work in 

Wanblee, so a co-op ride was something 

worked out and we took 

Highway 44 home. 

Rich and Donna Perez, Rapid 

City, visited George and Sandee 

Gittings Saturday afternoon. 

Saturday, Cathy Fiedler rode to 

Rapid with Sherry Hanson and 

Elsie, who had eye appointments. 

Ralph worked at the store, then he 

and Cathy went out for supper. 

Saturday, after getting the mail, 

Tony Harty went out for breakfast, 

then escaped to the Herber ranch 

down on the White River. The river 

is running quite full, but dams are 

still suffering from the need of runoff. 

He visited with his brother, 

Bernard, and Barbara and family. 

Their son, Matt, and family were 

visiting from Dell Rapids, so he enjoyed 

them. The men were busy 

sorting cattle. 

Don and Vi Moody ventured off 

to Deadwood for a steak dinner 

Saturday afternoon and ran into 

friends, Bruce and Bonita Weber, 

who were in a slot tournament. 

They also enjoyed a brief visit with 

Kathy Willuweit at the place where 

she works. Kathy loves to "hug" her 

Philip friends when they are in 

town so makes fun for all! 

Bright and early Saturday morning 

I was on the road to Pierre, 

picking up Lee and Roberta 

Vaughan on the way through 

Philip. We attended the South 

Dakota Wing Civil Air Patrol conference. 

The roads were good on 

the way home, a bit of snow going. 

We picked up Lee Vaughan, Sr., 

and we all had supper out before 

returning home.

George Gittings and Kurt 

Gustafson went to Henry Hanson's 

Sunday afternoon to get some cattle 

cake. 

There was rain during the night 

and Sunday morning the rain 

gauges showed 6/10s. Not too sure 

if that was melted snow included, 

but now we know it can rain too. A 

call from cousin John Fairchild in 

the afternoon was enjoyed. In Virginia 

Beach, they are keeping busy 

with yard work and such. He said 

to tell all Aunt Pearl’s bridge players 

hello. Bill and I went out for 

supper and got home before snow 

started. 

Sunday, Tony Harty attended 

church and had dinner out.

Church & Community Thursday, April 25, 2013 • The Pioneer Review • Page 5 

(continued from last week) 

I think we have been fortunate 

when you hear the news and problems 

east of here in the Sioux Falls 

area. Also south of us with all the bad 

storms they have been having. 

The weather has given the ranchers 

a hard time this last week. They 

have worked hard with their livestock 

around here. It was every two 

hours to be up and checking on them. 

Then they lost a couple even when 

they watched them close. Wet snow 

and wind chilled the baby calves 

down fast. I heard others had the 

same problems that Marvin and 

Vicki did. 

Donnie and Justin Poss were up 

and helped Marvin one day this week 

with a cow that needed doctoring. 

One thing you can not say is that 

those men and women don’t earn 

their pay when fall comes and they 

sell those calves. There is a lot of 

hard work and sleepless nights and 

days put into them plus the work of 

getting them ready for market the 

rest of the year. But they like the job 

of being their own boss and living in 

the country, even if you hear a mumble 

every once in a while, “I should 

sell the whole bunch and do something 

else.” Especially on days like 

this past week. Better be careful 

guys, someone might hear you and 

offer to take you up on it. Selling out, 

that is. 

Some many have been having the 

flu with the bad cold and congestion. 

It seems to take up to three weeks to 

get rid of it and some have had the 

misfortune of catching it twice. I 

know I had a three-week siege with 

it and that was a stay home thing, as 

I did not want to pass it on to anyone 

else. I stayed away from the nursing 

home and other places and just went 

where it was absolutely necessary. 

Pastor Al called and told me that 

Mike Seager is doing a program on a 

disk on the camping through the 

years. I should gather up my old 

slides so he can have them too. Then 

Pastor Al wondered if I saw Mae Keffelers 

picture in the paper as she was 

celebrating her 100th birthday. What 

a lady. She helped us at camp up at 

the De Kings ranch near Plainview. 

De’s wife was her daughter and she 

had two grandchildren in the camp. 

Memories we all cherish from those 

days. A kid from Interior who was at 

camp was mad at Mae for scolding 

him about something he had done, so 

he spiked her coffee with wintergreen 

chewing tobacco. Of course, she did 

not drink it as you could smell the 

snuff a mile away. 

Last Saturday, I went to town to 

get a headlight fixed and while I was 

there Don Burns gave my pickup a 

look over and found some things that 

needed attention right away or some 

damage may have occurred. So I was 

to bring my vehicle in Wednesday, 

but due to the storm, had to postpone 

it till this Wednesday, March 17. It 

will work out good for me as I will be 

able to attend the luncheon at the 

senior center. 

As I did not have news for last 

week, I will add this about Ann 

Moses. I really enjoyed her 80th 

birthday party and got to see all of 

her kids. I am sure she had a wonderful 

time visiting and enjoying her 

family while they were here. There 

was a large crowd of friends and family 

in attendance to enjoy the beautiful 

cakes and lunch served by her 

family. 

While there, I visited Shar Moses 

and she said that Joan was with their 

dad, Clark Morrison. She stated that 

Clark would be there till the end of 

April. His address was in the paper 

and he enjoys mail, so get busy and 

send greetings off to him. 

I remember the first time I saw 

Ann Moses, she was driving a station 

wagon in Philip and it was full of 

kids. I couldn’t help but think what a 

bunch of kids to raise. But you know 

what, her and Gay did raise them. 

Grindstone News 

by Mary Eide • 859-2188 

They were all raised in Philip and all 

graduated from Philip High School. 

Some are still living in Philip and 

others have ventured out to other 

places, all doing well for themselves. 

I have known Ann for a long time and 

worked with her at Philip Health 

Services for several years. Ann is six 

months older than me. I feel I have 

been blessed to have known her all 

these years. 

Beth Smith did not get to work due 

to the storm, but said that most 

places were closed in Rapid City 

along with hers. She said that it was 

nice to just be home and catch up on 

things. Lee Schoniger and some 

friends enjoyed dancing in Rapid City 

Saturday night, April 13. He had dinner 

at Mel and Beth’s Sunday, April 

14. She said they went up to the 

grand march in Wall and Beth said 

how nice the boys and their dates 

looked, referring to Cade Kjerstad, 

Ridge Sandal and Brayden Fitch. She 

said the boys reported having a great 

time. Those cousins usually do when 

they all get together. 

Herb Sieler said they were home 

and calving heifers out and had to 

pull some. They had some loss during 

the storm, as many others did. Herb 

was at a conference in Mandan, N.D. 

When he came home, he found the 

highways all blowed off, but it took 

him over an hour to get home from 

Philip, to his place about three and a 

half miles north of the Grindstone 

Hall. 

My sister-in-law, Max’s wife who 

lives in Santa Barbara, Calif., called 

and stated that they have had some 

bad winds there. Due to lay offs and 

housing problems, their son and 

daughter have moved back in with 

her. Her son who was one of the engineers 

on the space crafts lost his job 

when they closed the space program. 

He was unable to find a job, as they 

told him he was over qualified, so he 

finally did what his dad told him 

growing up, learn to work a common 

job and use your hands. Those big 

jobs and educated people may not 

have a job someday and you have to 

know how to work with your hands. 

It took awhile and he was persistent 

and finally got a job driving the city 

buses for Santa Barbara. He said it 

pays good and he is doing fine and he 

and his sister are sharing expenses 

with their mom. Joy stated this has 

happened to a lot of people in California 

the past few years with people 

losing their homes and jobs and moving 

back home with family. 

She said she was thankful she had 

a large home with an apartment in 

the lower level and with them being 

there, no one feels crowded. And it is 

good for her also, as she is 86 years 

old and totally blind now. She was 

partially blind all her life and was a 

model for a big clothing designer 

when Max married her. They lived in 

Tucson, Ariz., for years after Max 

was discharged from the service. He 

went to work for the telephone company 

and worked his way up in the 

company and then was transferred to 

Santa Barbara to a very good job, 

which he worked at till he retired. 

Joy worked for the Santa Barbara Institution 

for the Blind till retiring at 

72 years of age. 

Seems that no one had any news 

due to the storm, so I will bring this 

to a close and hope everyone gets 

back to normal. The weather doesn’t 

sound like that will be possible for 

some time with more moisture forecast 

and below normal temperatures. 

I am finishing this late Sunday night 

and the wind is blowing and it is cold 

outside and the cattle all wanted to 

come in and get behind the windbreaks. 

It will be another long night 

for those calving. 

Every heart that has a beat, 

strongly and cheerfully has left a 

hopeful impulse behind in the world, 

and bettered the tradition of 

mankind. – Robert Louis Stevenson

June Wanczyk___________________ 

June Wanczyk, age 85 of Wall, 

S.D., died Saturday, April 20, 2013, 

at the Hans P. Peterson Memorial 

Hospital in Philip. 

June Ailene Weller was born 

June 6, 1927, at Arriba, Colo., the 

daughter of Leonard “Bill” and 

Stella (Anderson) Weller. She grew 

up and received her education in 

Arriba, graduating from Arriba 

High School in May 1945. She attended 

Bonnie Beauty School in 

Denver, graduating in November 

1946. 

She met her husband to be in 

Denver and was married to Joseph 

L. Wanczyk on June 10, 1947, at 

Sacred Heart Catholic Church in 

Denver. A son, Gerard, was born to 

this union on December 3, 1954. 

The family moved to Philip in May 

1957 to manage the Senechal Hotel 

with her father, L.G. Weller, who 

owned it. In July 1962, he passed 

away so they bought the hotel from 

the estate. 

June later found that her heart 

was not in beauty work, so after 

talking with her family, decided to 

go back to nursing school at the age 

of 43. In 1969, June began nursing 

school at Presentation College in 

Aberdeen. June made it home often 

during college, or the family would 

travel to Aberdeen to see each 

other. In May 1973, June graduated 

from nursing school, the same 

week that their son graduated from 

Philip High School. 

June worked as a nurse for 30 

years, retiring at the age of 78. 

June and Joe worked at Sacred 

Heart Parish and were always glad 

when they could help. June and Joe 

later moved to Wall, and became 

members of St. Patrick’s Catholic 

Church of Wall. 

Survivors include her husband, 

Joe Wanczyk, Wall; her son, Gerard 

“Jerry” Wanczyk and his wife, 

Colleen, Glenview, Ill.; a grandson, 

Jordan Wanczyk, Milwaukee, Wis.; 

a sister, Shirley Josserand and her 

husband, Orville, Kadoka; two 

brothers, Harold D. Weller and his 

wife, Clara Belle, Kadoka, and 

William Oscar Weller and his wife, 

Jean, Kadoka; and numerous 

nieces and nephews. 

June was preceded in death by 

her parents; two sisters, Ivalene 

Weller and Marjorie Borbely; and 

two brothers, Duane and Robert

Thursday, April 25, 2013 • The Pioneer Review • Page 6 

We’ve got moisture! Isn’t it wonderful? 

Waking up to lots of snow 

on the deck, we got the ruler out to 

measure that snow. We had five 

and a half inches of very wet snow 

and it was still coming down. This 

moisture is truly an answer to 

prayer! We’ve had more snow this 

month of April then we had all winter. 

The snowbirds will be thinking 

they should have waited a month 

to come back to South Dakota. A 

while back, I asked Sophie (Larson) 

Foley if she had any news. “No, 

news” she said, “Just busy doing up 

yard work!” She and her husband, 

Pat, and her son, Todd Larson, 

Sioux Falls, had cleared the winter 

debris and fertilized the lawn. The 

good news, this was done before the 

start of all this moisture. Won’t be 

long and it will be time to get out 

the lawn mower, Sophie. What’s 

that, “don’t rush things?” That’s 

called taking it a day at a time. 

Jerry and I were in Pierre one 

day last week, as he had a dental 

appointment. We met a nice couple 

at the dentist office, Blaine and 

Beverly Kenobbie, of the Presho 

area. When they learned we were 

from Midland, they told of some 

folks they know from this area. 

Blaine mentioned a book he had 

just finished reading and had much 

enjoyed by a Midland author. It 

was “Gumbo Lilies” by Thelma 

(Martin) Anderson. From there we 

got to visiting about Thelma and 

her unusual wit and sense of 

humor. That wit and sense of 

humor was felt throughout her 

book.We also talked of Thelma’s 

friend, Leona (Lee) Schroader. 

Thelma (Timmie) Martin and 

Leona had purchased the homestead 

of Charlie and Tena Myrland. 

Tena was a sister to Thelma’s 

mom, Dena Martin. Thelma and 

Leona liked horses and worked 

hard to keep that place. In later 

years, Thelma married Curt Anderson 

and Leona married Ervin 

(Babe) Nesheim. I went to the 

bookcase and got out our copy of 

“Gumbo Lilies.” Looking at some of 

the pictures and reading the names 

of folks who Thelma wrote about in 

her book, it brought back memories 

of those people who have passed 

away. Having an interest in writing, 

I used to seek Thelma out, asking 

questions concerning writing. 

She had good common sense advice 

FOR SALE: 

and because of her I learned of this 

writing course you could take on 

the Internet. She had taken it herself 

and was satisfied with what 

she learned. Another one of those 

good memories! 

Guess it’s time to get at the 

news for this week! 

Reminder: The Midland Auxiliary 

members are asked to bring 

finger foods during the three performances 

of the Midland Community 

play on April 26, 27 and 28. 

Maxine Jones went to Rapid 

City last Friday for a checkup after 

a spinal injection earlier in the 

month and got a good report. Hope 

they continue to work for you, Maxine. 

The ice skating club in Rapid 

City had their ice show to demonstrate 

student’s progress for the 

year. Maxine reports it was great 

fun to watch, with about 55 people 

on ice skates for the finale. Granddaughters 

of Shorty and Maxine 

Jones and Bob and Verona Evans, 

Cassie and Kalli Jones, were 

among the performers. All students 

were in small groups of similar 

abilities performing various routines 

to music with a theme. Then, 

Cassie and Kalli skated as a duo, 

as did a few other sibling groups. 

Ages ranged from about three 

years to adults. 

I received the following from 

Maxine Jones. 

Richard Howard "Dick" Young, 

Jr., age 75, Unicoi, Tenn., passed 

away unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, 

April 9, 2013, at Johnson 

City Medical Center. He was born 

in Miami, Fla., a son of the late 

Richard Howard and Gwendolyn 

Jones Young. 

He retired in 1996 from CSX 

Railroad as assistant vice president 

of transportation after 49 

years in the railroad business. Following 

retirement, he and his wife 

moved to Unicoi County. Dick was 

a member of Wildwood Masonic 

Lodge #92 A&FM and the Shriner's 

Temple in Jacksonville, Fla. 

Other than his parents, he was 

preceded in death by his brothers, 

Tom Young and Harry Young. He 

is survived by his loving and devoted 

wife of 31 years, Rebecca 

"Becky" Blanton Young; four 

daughters, Renee and Reverend 

Jed Scheneck, Flagstaff, Ariz., 

Kathleen Young Jeswald (Jon), 

(1) two-year-old, plus several yearling

Graveside services were held 

April 13, 2013, at the Oak Grove 

United Methodist Cemetery, Ellenboro, 

N.C., with Reverend Jed 

Schenck officiating. Cliffside Masonic 

Lodge #460 A&FM provided 

last rites at the graveside. 

Music reflecting Dick’s life was 

played: "I've Been Working On The 

Railroad." and "I Love" by Tom T. 

Hall, as well as "How Great Thou 

Art" and "Amazing Grace." 

Many in the Midland area, especially 

those who lived on the west 

side of town, will recall when the 

Young family moved to Midland 

when Dick, Sr., bought the light 

plant in the 1940s. He continued 

the business until selling to the 

REA in the 1950s. The three boys 

missed Midland desperately after 

they retured to Florida, to the extent 

that Harry tried to hitchhike 

back when he was about 12 years 

old, and later was found by his parents 

trying to buy a plane ticket to 

get 'home' to Midland. Harry and 

Tom are buried at Midland, their 

favorite 'home' town. 

Dick returned to Midland and 

worked on the CNR railroad extra 

crew, and ended his career as an 

assistant vice president, a career 

he most likely enjoyed every day of, 

and continued his interest in all 

things 'railroad' to the end of his 

life. It is doubtful they ever drove 

by a railroad facility in all their 

travels without stopping to have a 

closer look. He was also interested 

in old or unusual barns, and has 

books of photographs of them taken 

in their travels. 

Two of his daughters, Grace and 

Kathleen, and their children visited 

Midland briefly a couple of 

years ago, due to hearing so much 

about it from their dad. That was a 

good, 'green' year, so it looked very 

pretty here, and at the cemetery 

where their uncles are buried. The 

Jones ranch was of great interest to 

the young grandsons. 

Dick was in the class that graduated 

MHS about 1956 and returned 

for many of the reunions in 

later years. He lived next door to 

Joneses and his mother had many 

friends on that street, from Edna 

Joy near main street, Kochs, Jones, 

Sammons, Quatiers, on up to Ida 

Hunt 'on the hill' to the north. Midland 

always held a very special 

place in his heart, in no small part 

due to those good neighbors and 

their families. Our sympathies to 

the family of Dick Young. 

Keith Hunt, Christine (Hunt) 

Niedan and Teresa (Hunt) Palmer, 

Murdo, went to the fundraiser for 

Allen Geuther at the Youth Center 

in Ft. Pierre Saturday. Roger and 

Peg (Hunt) Johnson, Pierre, were 

also there. Allen is married to 

Jenny, the daughter of Paul and 

JoAnn Bork. Allen has been dealing 

with cancer and friends wished 

to do this event to help with medical 

expenses. There was a silent 

auction, live auction, supper and a 

dance. A huge crowd was there to 

show their support for Allen, Jenny 

and their family. Paul and JoAnn, 

their daughter, Shelby, and friend, 

Gavin Snook, Angie and David Anderson 

and family, Loveland, Colo., 

Kimberly and Luke Nelson and 

family, Aberdeen, were there. 

Danny Bork was the only one of the 

kids unable to make it. He lives in 

Knoxville, Tenn. Angie and David 

will be moving to Tucson, Ariz. Our 

prayers are with Allen and his family, 

prayers that the cancer treatments 

will do what the doctors are 

hopeful it will.

Ernie and Laurel Nemec returned 

April 1 to Midland after 

spending three months in Mesa, 

Ariz. They enjoyed their time there 

and had some Midland area visitors 

during their stay at Mesa. On 

their way home, they stopped in 

Colorado City, Colo., to visit Bob 

and Doris Sheeley. They attended 

Easter Sunday service with them 

and joined part of their family for 

dinner in Colorado Springs, Colo. 

Later that day, they stopped in 

Denver, Colo., to visit Bev Johnson. 

Their daughter, Becky and Rob 

Thompson and Josiah, Sioux Falls, 

came for a visit the weekend of 

April 6. 

Chauncey Trapp escorted 

Valentina Diolaiti, a foreign exchange 

student from Italy, to the T. 

F. Riggs High School prom Saturday. 

The theme for this year’s prom 

was “Masquerade.” Following the 

prom, they attended the post prom 

at the bowling alley. Some of the 

activities at post prom were a hypnotist, 

bowling, billiards, a hunting 

simulator, twister, and card games. 

Mike, Debbie, and Cassidy Trapp 

attended the grand march at the 

prom. Valentina stated they do not 

have proms at high schools in Italy. 

Gene Jones left on April 9 going 

to home of his daughter, Linda and 

Brendan Giltner’s in Meriden, 

Kan., spending a couple of nights, 

hoping to watch track meets. They 

were canceled due to weather. 

Linda went with her dad to Texas 

where they enjoyed visiting with 

various cousins and also attended 

the annual barn dance held at one 

of the cousins. They returned to 

Linda's Monday and after attending 

Taylor's track meet Monday 

and Triston's Tuesday, Gene returned 

home Wednesday. Audrey 

was unable to go because of prior 

commitments, three of which were 

postponed due to weather. 

Bad river Club 

April 5, 2013, it was good to be 

able to get together again. Due to 

weather conditions and other circumstances, 

we were unable to 

meet in March. Only two members, 

Emily Sammons and Janice 

Bierle were able to meet at the 

home of Kathy Tolton in February. 

We were saddened to learn of 

the death of our longtime member 

and friend, Edna Joy, but were 

pleasantly surprised to have our 

other longtime member and friend, 

Maxine Stirling, with us again. Her 

daughter, Cherie Soesbe, brought 

her from Rapid City. They had 

been at the ranch to pick up some 

things she will need when she 

moves into her apartment in Rapid 

City. She will be able to have her 

companion (her little dog) with her 

in her new home. Speaking of pets, 

we had a good laugh when we 

shared stories of our pet’s crazy antics. 

Janice Bierle was our April 

hostess. Others who were able to 

enjoy the afternoon were Betty 

Sinkey, Isabelle Sampson, Kathy 

Tolton, Wilma Saucerman and 

Verona Evans, who had just returned 

from visiting Arizona. Our 

other special guest was Cindy 

Koehler who we hope will become a 

new member. Emily Sammons 

could not be with us. Everyone is 

concerned about our dry conditions. 

Our prayers are that the good Lord 

will send us a good old fashioned 

soaking! It was fun to get together 

to visit and enjoy Janice’s homemade 

cranberry cookies and a variety 

of Schwan’s ice cream. Try the 

black cherry. It is “yummy. Wilma 

will host the May meeting. 

Club Reporter, Isabelle Sampson 

*** 

It is Tuesday, the sun is shining 

and the temperature was 10˚ when 

we woke up this morning. A bit 

chilly for April, but we got some 

great moisture, and warmer days 

are ahead. The birds and baby 

calves will be happy about that. We 

humans will like it a bit warmer as 

well. 

Our daughter-in-law, Stephanie 

Nemec, called last night as they 

were headed back to Mitchell after 

picking up her mom at the Sioux 

Falls airport. Barbara’s flight was 

one of three that were able to take 

flight. Due to flight issues, some 

flights were canceled. Stephanie 

and Barbara were so relieved hers 

wasn’t one of them. We heard some 

of it on the news this morning. 

Stephanie’s grandmother had 

planned to come, but circumstances 

prevented her from making 

the trip. Her grandmother was so 

very disappointed. As some of 

know, Barbara Von Oorschot is 

from Kevelaer, Germany, this is 

where Stephanie grew up. Little 

Laura is their only grandchild. 

This is Barbara’s third trip to see 

that grandbaby. Josef came with 

Barbara in November. She planned 

this trip so she would be here for 

Laura’s first birthday, April 24, 

Greetings from sunny, cool, snow 

covered northeast Haakon County. 

What a surprise to wake up Monday 

morning to a deep covering of 

snow, piling up more and more 

until about noon. When I shoveled 

off the driveway, I found out there 

was a lot of moisture in that snow – 

.54” of moisture to be exact, according 

to our weather data collector, 

Marge Briggs. That brings us to a 

total of 2.4” of moisture since April 

8 – hallelujah! I hope the moisture 

will continue, with some warm 

sunny days thrown in there, of 

course. We are supposed to have 

temperatures in the 70s this weekend, 

so the grass should really 

jump out of the ground. 

The snow made for difficult 

travel conditions early yesterday. 

Several folks had trouble navigating 

our roads because of the deep 

snow. School was called off at Deep 

Creek School because of the snow. 

I plodded to the barn to feed calves 

and cats, and I was glad there was 

a tire track to walk in! During the 

day, the snow shrunk quite a bit, 

but there is still deep snow in my 

yard. I guess I won't be hanging 

any clothes on the line for a day or 

so. 

Nels and Dorothy Paulson were 

in Pierre Friday to take care of 

some business. Dorothy attended 

church Sunday, and she served 

lunch following the church service. 

She said there was a good crowd on 

hand for worshiping and visiting, 

and young Kyler Gabriel kept 

everyone entertained. Monday's 

snowstorm kept Dorothy in the 

house – she said the snow was 

deeper than her boots are tall! 

Aside from checking and feeding 

the cattle, Nels continues to stay 

busy with his picture puzzles and 

stamp collecting activities. 

Dick and Gene Hudson were in 

Chamberlain Wednesday to keep a 

doctor's appointment. Gene said 

she has been spending a lot of time 

in the house, because the weather 

hasn't been conducive to doing yard 

work. Grandsons Noah and Avery 

spent time with Dick and Gene 

over the weekend, so Gene did a lot 

of cooking. 

Lola Roseth attended the nursing 

home fundraiser in Kadoka 

Saturday evening. It was a tour of 

tables event followed by a delicious 

meal, and Lola said the tables were 

beautiful. Lola's great-niece, 

Mikayla, (granddaughter of her sister, 

Gay Tollefson) was among 

those providing musical entertainment 

for the group. It sounds like 

Mikayla is quite a talented musician! 

She will be going to China in 

late May, and one of the highlights 

of the trip will be performing on the 

Great Wall. What an adventure! 

Billy and Arlyne Markwed were 

in the Glad Valley area last Thursday, 

helping with an auction sale 

there. Saturday, they went to 

Rapid City to meet their daughter, 

Kim, at the airport. They had lunch 

in Rapid, joined by Bruce and 

Cindy Bresee, then returned to the 

Moenville News 

and Stephanie’s birthday which is 

May 4. Thanks to modern technology 

you can do Skype, send pictures 

and videos over the Internet, 

but it’s not like holding that grandbaby 

in your arms. So, Barbara 

makes the best of every chance she 

gets. 

As I close my column for another 

week, I leave you with a bit 

of humor from Jerry’s Amish magazine. 

A four-year-old was playing 

quietly while her father, asleep on 

the davenport, snored lustily. Suddenly 

he turned over on his side 

and the snoring came to an abrupt 

end. “Mommy” exclaimed the little 

girl, “you’d better see about Daddy. 

He’s killed his engine.” Have a 

good day and a good week! And 

Lord, we do thank you for this 

moisture!

ranch. They attended church Sunday, 

and grandson T.J. Gabriel and 

family were supper guests that 

evening. Monday, Billy and Arlyne 

and Kim headed to Pierre. The 

snow was deep, but they made it. 

Kim went on to Aberdeen to visit 

for a few days, and Billy and Arlyne 

attended a retirement dinner. Billy 

was the guest of honor, as he was 

retiring as a member of the South 

Dakota Animal Industry Board. 

Thank you for your many years of 

service, Billy! 

Coreen Roseth said the snow and 

cold has kept her from making 

much news. It hasn't kept her from 

spring cleaning, however. She recently 

painted her bedroom, and 

when I talked to her yesterday she 

was painting her dining room! Way 

to go, Coreen! 

Bill and Polly Bruce had a visit 

last Thursday from their nephew, 

Todd Ryan. Todd is the son of 

Polly's sister, Christine, and her 

husband, Gary Ryan, of North 

Dakota. Todd lives in Nebraska, 

and he had taken his daughter, 

Amanda, to Minot where she has 

employment. They visited and had 

an early supper, as Todd had to 

continue on his trip back to Nebraska. 

Saturday, they had a visit 

from their daughter, Marcia Simon. 

Marcia had spent the day shopping 

in Pierre, and she was on her way 

back to her home near Eagle Butte. 

Sunday, Bill and Polly attended 

church in Eagle Butte. 

Ruth Neuhauser had a visit this 

week from her granddaughter, 

Tara Nachtigall. Tara lives in New 

York City, and she works in theater. 

She and five others have been 

touring the country for the past 

several months, and they came to 

Highmore last Thursday evening 

and entertained at the nursing 

home Friday. Ruth said they did 

several musical numbers and the 

residents thoroughly enjoyed the 

show. Tara's parents, Lynn and 

Nina Nachtigall, were also there, as 

were Kevin and Mary Neuhauser. 

The tour has taken the group to the 

southwestern part of the country 

and up the West Coast, and they 

loved seeing the Black Hills. From 

Highmore, the musical group 

headed to Minnesota to continue 

their tour. Lynn and Nina left Friday 

also, spending the night in 

Custer with Nina's cousin on the 

way back to their home in 

Cheyenne, Wyo. 

Kevin and Mary Neuhauser enjoyed 

the entertainment in Highmore 

Friday. Mary spent the weekend 

at the ranch. 

Ray and Nancy Neuhauser have 

been keeping busy with senior center 

activities, card playing, exercise 

group, etc. Nancy's daughter, 

Kathy, spent three weeks with Ray 

and Nancy while she recovered 

from shoulder surgery, and Nancy's 

granddaughter spent 10 days with 

them over spring break. While in 

Pierre, the granddaughter worked 

with a local horse trainer, honing 

barrel racing skills for her and her 

horse. 

Steve McDaniel is now back in 

the community after spending 40 

days in Arizona this winter. He said 

it was wonderful, and he hopes to 

do it again next year. There is a lot 

of roping activity in that area, and 

he was able to rope all but four of 

the 40 days he was there! Sounds 

like heaven for a roper! But it is 

back to reality now, and he is very 

busy with calving activities. 

Clark and Carmen Alleman attended 

a birthday party for granddaughter 

Alivya Saturday. Happy 

birthday, Alivya! Kelly (Alleman) 

Nelson and daughter Morgan spent 

the weekend at the ranch and also 

attended the party. Clark and Carmen 

were hoping to head for Rapid 

City later Monday to be on hand for 

Clark's cataract surgery Tuesday 

morning. 

Frank and Shirley Halligan had 

supper in Midland Friday evening. 

Shirley said they needed to get 

away from all the bad news on TV! 

One of their employees, Ernestino, 

returned to South Dakota Monday. 

He had been in Mexico since November. 

Mary Briggs worked in Pierre all 

last week. Saturday morning, she 

went to Pierre for parts. In the afternoon, 

Lee and Mary headed to 

Sturgis to be on hand to take piccontinued

tures of their grandson, Seth Joens, 

at his prom. Mary said both the 

guys and the gals looked great – 

sort of a rite of passage for high 

school kids. Lee and Mary returned 

to the ranch Saturday night. Sunday, 

they traveled to Dupree to 

visit Mary's sister and brother-inlaw, 

Sue and Vernon Starr. Monday 

morning, Mary hit the road, intending 

to go to work, but the deep 

snow made her turn around and 

work from home. 

Max and Joyce Jones had an 

overnight guest Friday. Their 

friend, Nadine Fiddler, Spearfish, 

spent the night with them. Saturday, 

Joyce and Nadine traveled to 

Flandreau to a funeral. Joyce said 

the trip home was difficult because 

of bad weather conditions – blowing 

snow, ice, fog. Thankfully, the 

roads started improving as they got 

close to Pierre. 

Jon and Connie Johnson were in 

Wheaton, Minn., over the weekend 

to attend funeral services for the 

son of Jon's cousin. The young man 

died at the age of 33 after a very 

brief illness. He leaves a wife and a 

five-month-old son. Jon and Connie 

returned home Sunday. Their son, 

Avery, is a member of the Philip 

High School golf team, but weather 

this spring has caused most (if not 

all) of the matches to be canceled. 

Avery was to be inducted into National 

Honor Society Monday 

evening, but that event was postponed 

also! 

Randy had several neighbors in 

for an evening of card playing last 

(this week’s news) 

A correction in the story about 

John Cowen, I stated that his 

house was used for cattle feed. This 

is not true as the cattle feed was 

stored in a schoolhouse that is on 

the property instead of the house. 

Bev McDaniel called me Wednesday 

morning after the storm to 

share the beauty she was privileged 

to see. She said that the 

robins use her place as a stop when 

they migrate as they like the trees 

and the berries they can feed on. 

Bev said that there were hundreds 

of robins out on the fresh snow and 

in among them was this little brilliant 

bluebird that stood out. She 

said she just loved watching them. 

I don’t know much about bluebirds, 

but wonder if he could have lost his 

mate and just got in with the 

robins for protection to get where 

he was going. Mother Nature has a 

way of protecting its creatures and 

gets them where they are supposed 

to be. 

I did not call for news this week 

as everyone had their hands full 

getting things back together after 

the storm. Some of the stories 

around this area related that they 

had lost some calves. Some jumped 

into the tire tanks and chilled to 

death, others wandered into water 

holes, and some, that were laying 

down all during the storm, did not 

eat and when they did get up and 

take on a feed, they died of overeating. 

Some stated that they lost 

cows that got on their backs over a 

drift. My, what else can they do to 

kill themselves! 

I remember one time during 

calving season, a cow went out in 

the middle of the dam and stood 

there and dropped her calf in the 

water and of course he drowned. I 

ended up milking that cow all summer 

and she was a very gentle cow 

and gave lots of milk. But, Kenneth 

was so mad he said he should have 

shot her. Of course he didn’t. They 

kill themselves fast enough without 

shooting them and you try 

awful hard to save them. 

After everyone got things back 

together this week, many went to 

town Saturday night just to relax a 

little and enjoy hearing how everyone 

else was doing. Sometimes you 

just have to get away from it all for 

a little while so you have enough 

energy to start over again. 

Good news is that it is to warm 

up to near 60˚ by this weekend. We

week. Friday, Randy and I headed 

to the Black Hills to attend a concert 

by one of Randy's favorite 

recording artists, Johnny Rivers. 

My cousin, Barb Swenson, and her 

husband, John, joined us for supper, 

as did our daughter, Chelsea, 

and her husband, Mike. Barb and 

John also joined us at the concert. 

Johnny Rivers has produced some 

wonderful music over the years, 

and he is still quite an entertainer, 

although he is no spring chicken 

anymore. (I guess that could be said 

for a lot of us.) Saturday, Randy 

and I had lunch with son Scott and 

family in Spearfish. We visited 

most of the afternoon before returning 

to the ranch Saturday evening. 

This week, I am grateful once 

again for the moisture. There are 

some situations in life that you can 

remedy yourself – car broken? Get 

it fixed. Equipment need updated? 

Start shopping. But when there are 

such devastating drought conditions, 

there is not much you can do 

but wait and pray. We can decrease 

the livestock numbers, we can put 

in water lines to make sure the remaining 

livestock have water, but 

we can't make it rain. So, thank 

God for the moisture! And I intend 

to keep praying for more! This 

drought is still a long way from 

being over. 

Enjoy your week! And start 

stretching those muscles – it will 

soon to time to start mowing, tilling, 

painting, and all those other 

spring time activities! 

may get some spring weather after 

all. 

Marvin, Vicki and Mary Eide 

and Rita Ramsey attended church 

services at the Evangelical Free 

Church at Milesville Sunday, April 

21, as grandson Aven Fitch was 

being dedicated during the service. 

After the service, we all enjoyed 

brunch. The church has 8:00 a.m. 

services and the ladies take turns 

bringing food and serving it every 

Sunday after church. I was able to 

come home and not cook a dinner. 

Sunday afternoon, April 21, 

Vicki Eide visited her grandmother, 

Dorothy Urban, for a 

while. 

This will end the news for this 

week and last week’s news will be 

continued so will make for lots of 

news. We have had trouble with 

the storms, but we still need more 

moisture and it can come in some 

warm rains if we could order what 

we want, but there is someone bigger 

than we are who will decide 

that when the time is right. He 

knows what is best for us. Remember 

we don’t know why. We just 

have to pray and leave it up to 

Him. Only He knows what is best 

for us. Sometimes when everything 

is going great, we often forget to 

give praise and thanks. 

Touch the earth, love the earth, 

her plains, her valleys, her hills, her 

seas; rest your spirit in her solitary 

places. – Henery Beston

Mrs. Guy Ramsey had a thrilling 

experience Monday afternoon 

while alone at her home just west 

of town. The unusually loud barking 

of the Ramsey’s white collie 

dog, Laddie, attracted Mrs. Ramsey’s 

attendtion to the tree just 

north of the house where she was 

surprised to see a strange looking 

animal, two thirds as large as the 

dog hanging from the limb of the 

tree. She hastily procured a shot 

gun and shot at him from the window, 

hitting him and knocking him 

to the ground. As the gun had only 

one shot, she was obliged to hunt 

another and in the meantime the 

animal which is believed to have 

been a cougar or mountain lion 

from the description, made his get 

away. His tracks in the wet ground 

were easily discernable but nothing 

more has been seen of the animal.

Warning to parents: It is the custom 

of the children of the town to 

swing on the rope which is attached 

to the flag pole, on the 

water tank hill. This is a dangerous 

paractice due to the fact that the 

iron pole has been in use there for 

more than twelve years and is 

badly rusted which may cause it to 

break at any time when subjected 

to this weight. – Wm. Burns, City

After a lapse of two years, Lee 

Crowser of the Dowling neighborhood, 

received a reply last week to 

a note which he “posted” in a bottle. 

The bottle was tossed in Ash Creek 

near Crowser’s home on March 4, 

1936. 

The note in reply came from 

Robert Christenson, of Bijou Hills, 

S.D., who wrote that he found the 

bottle and note on a rock bar in the 

Missouri River about thirty miles 

south of Chamberlain. In its two 

year journey the bottle had gone 

down Ash Creek into the Cheyenne 

and on to the Big Muddy. 

The finder of the bottle gave his 

age as 21. Crowser was 18 at the 

time he tossed his message into 

Ash Creek. In his reply Christenson 

said, “Next time use air mail. 

The bottle route is too slow.”

Enjoy the vastness of the southwestern 

South Dakota scenery - 

soaring spires and pinnacles 

amidst the pristine beauty of the 

prairie. A visit to both the North 

and South Units of the Badlands 

can also inspire a greater appreciation 

of this landscape’s cultural 

histories. Next door, explore the 

role of the Midwest in America’s 

Cold War history at the Minuteman 

Missile by visiting the Delta 9 

missile silo and Delta-1 Launch 

Control Center. 

Explore some of the outdoor features 

at Badlands in your own celebration

Trail, ten-miles round trip offers 

expansive views, and a relatively 

level walk. Cliff Shelf Trail is a 

moderately strenuous loop that follows 

boardwalks and climbs stairs 

through a juniper forest perched 

along the Badlands Wall. The Window 

Trail is a 0.25 mile trail leading 

to a natural window in the Badlands 

Wall with a view of an intricately 

eroded canyon. There is 

truly a walking route for everyone

this award – the band solo/ensemble, 

wrestling team, girls’ basketball 

team, boys’ basketball team, 

one-act play and vocal solo/ensemble 

group. 

This award program was designed 

to recognize varsity athletic 

teams and fine arts groups for their 

College Brief 

academic excellence. The SDHSAA 

believes that high school students 

learn in two distinct ways; inside 

the classroom and outside the 

classroom – on the stage and/or the 

athletic field. The program creates 

a positive environment for school 

teams to have their members excel 

in the classroom, motivates students 

toward academic excellence 

and promotes academic encouragement 

from teammates. 

Based on a duplicated count, 

over 29,789 students participate in 

interscholastic athletics and over 

28,613 more are involved in fine 

arts activities. The award program 

proves students can be overwhelmingly 

successful in both academics 

as wall as in athletic and fine arts 

activities. 

There will be a 

Buffet Dinner with Salad Bar 

at the Lake Waggoner Club House 

North of Philip 

Sunday, May 5th • 11am to 1:30pm 

Everyone welcome!!

FFA/FCCLA annual labor auction 


Annual preschool screening for district 

Ellis Baer working with Melanie Morehart on motor and concepts 

skills. 

The annual FFA and Family, Career and Community Leaders of America labor auction was held Tuesday, April 16, at the 

Philip Livestock Auction. A free sloppy joe feed started the event. For eight hours of labor to be determined by the winning 

bidder, there were over 70 students 

auctioned off. Attendance is a membership 

requirement for both FFA and 

FCCLA, and some students belong to 

both organizations. The FFA advisor is 

Doug Hauk and the FCCLA advisor is 

Brigitte Brucklacher. Brucklacher said 

that the total raised was over $7,100. 

“We had a good turnout despite the 

weather! It was great to see the support 

of the community and parents of 

the FFA and FCCLA members! This almost 

50 year tradition wouldn't be the 

success it is without the continuous 

dedication of the Philip Livestock Auction, 

its employees and the auctioneers,” 

said Brucklacher. Shown above 

is the sophomore FFA group. Shown at 

left is the senior FCCLA group.

The City of Faith will use an 

$800,000 grant to build a multi-use 

community safe room that can 

serve as a public shelter against severe 

storms. 

The funding comes through the 

Hazard Mitigation Grant program, 

a 75/25 percent federal-to-local 

match program, according to Nicole 

Prince, hazard mitigation officer 

for the South Dakota Office of 

Emergency Management. 

“The federal share is through 

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management 

Agency), and while this 

multi-purpose room may be used as 

a gym and cafeteria for the Faith 

school, it will be designed to offer 

what is called ‘near absolute protection’ 

to occupants during extreme 

wind storms and tornadoes,’’ 

Prince said. 

The city’s application for the 

grant said that Faith typically experiences 

at least two extreme

Faith receives grant for 

community storm shelter 

wind events a year. In the past 30 

years, those storms have caused 40 

reported injuries and more than $8 

million in property and crop damage. 

In the summer of 2006, two extreme 

wind storms downed trees, 

knocked out power and caused 

more than $250,000 in damage in 

Faith. 

In the past, citizens in the area 

took shelter at the school during 

major storms. That structure was 

condemned in 2004 and later torn 

down, leaving area residents without 

a public shelter. The new safe 

room will have an occupancy rating 

of 875 people.

Obituaries 

Stephanie Marie Williams___________ 

Stephanie Marie Williams, age 

37, of Wall, died Tuesday, April 23, 

2013, at the Sanford USD Medical 

Center in Sioux Falls. 

Survivors include her husband 

Marty Williams of Wall; two children 

Stran and Jaicee Williams; 

her parents Greg and Vicki Andersen 

of Arlington; two sisters Shiela 

Schmidt and her husband Terry of 

DeSmet, and Shari Knutsen and 

her husband Jesse of Omaha, Nebraska; 

and a host of other relatives 

and friends. 

Funeral services are pending 

with the Rush Funeral Chapel of 

Wall. 

Animal rabies 

cases rise for 

second year 

South Dakota animal rabies 

cases were up in 2012, climbing for 

the second straight year, according 

to the yearly surveillance report recently 

released by the Department 

of Health. There were 60 animal 

rabies cases in 2012, up from 40 

the year before. 

While animal rabies is reported 

every year, the disease tends to be 

cyclical, with years of high case 

numbers followed by years with 

lower numbers, noted Dr. Lon 

Kightlinger, state epidemiologist 

for the Department of Health. “Rabies 

is a risk every year in South 

Dakota and that risk is statewide,” 

said Kightlinger. “Rabies vaccination 

is readily available, inexpensive 

and important to protect your 

pets and the people around them.” 

In 2012, there were rabies detections 

in 29 South Dakota counties. 

Those rabies positives included 21 

domestic animals – 16 cattle, three 

horses, two cats – as well as 36 

skunks and three bats. South 

Dakota’s last human rabies case 

was reported in 1970. 

The 16 rabid cattle in 2012 was 

the highest number of cases in 15 

years for South Dakota, and higher 

than any state in the country. 

Beef and dairy cattle are usually 

exposed to rabies through bites 

from skunks. People can, in turn, 

be exposed by contact with the cattle’s 

saliva. Dr. Russ Daly, state 

public health veterinarian, noted 

that signs of rabies in cattle can be 

very vague and may start as subtle 

behavior changes and progress to 

salivation, abnormal bellowing, 

persistent heat cycles and incoordination. 

Contact a veterinarian 

right away if you suspect rabies in 

an animal, and avoid contact with 

the saliva of that animal. 

“Rabies vaccine is available for 

cattle but routine vaccination of 

cattle herds isn’t practical,” said 

Daly. “However, show animals and 

others that have a lot of human 

contact should be vaccinated for rabies 

starting in the spring. The vaccine 

for cattle is good for one year 

and has a 21 day withdrawal period.” 

In addition to vaccinating pets 

and other animals with frequent 

human contact, reduce the risk of 

rabies with these precautions: 

•Do not handle, adopt or attempt 

to feed wild animals. Teach children 

to avoid animals they don't 

know and to tell you immediately if 

they are bitten or scratched by any 

animal. 

•Avoid any animal, wild or domestic, 

that behaves strangely, and 

immediately report it to your local 

veterinarian, animal control, conservation 

or law enforcement office. 

•Do not handle dead, sick or injured 

animals. If you must, use 

heavy gloves, sticks or other tools 

to avoid direct contact. Farmers 

and ranchers should wear gloves 

and protective eyewear when treating 

sick animals to prevent exposure 

to saliva. 

•Close outdoor trash containers 

tightly to avoid attracting skunks 

and raccoons. 

•Clear wood or junk piles from 

homes to deter wild animals from 

moving in. 

•Do not handle bats. If bats are 

found in a room with small children 

or sleeping people, call the Department 

of Health, your physician 

or local animal control officer. 

If you suspect rabies in a wild 

animal, pet or livestock – or if your 

animal has been bitten by a possibly 

rabid animal – contact your veterinarian 

immediately. If you have 

a potential exposure to rabies, 

wash the affected area with soap 

and water right away and call your 

doctor or the Department of Health 

at 1-800-592-1861. Your veterinarian 

will instruct you as to handling 

of animals involved. If the animal 

is dead, save the carcass for laboratory 

testing, being careful not to 

damage the head. If the animal is 

alive, contact your local animal 

control authorities so it can be captured 

for examination or observation. 

If you are bitten or scratched 

by a rabid animal, rabies vaccination 

can prevent human disease.
