Complaints over city’s 

recycling dumpsters 

The Philip City Finance Office 

received a complaint Monday, May 

14, concerning the recycling dumpsters 

on the east end of Oak Street. 

Dumpster lids were open. Trash 

was blowing into the neighboring 

yards around the recycling fence 

and in the ditch behind the dumpsters. 

Though the recycling dumpsters 

are regulated through the city’s 

residential garbage collection contract, 

a portion of the problem is 

people are not using the bins properly. 

Old garbage cans, pallets, 

household garbage, old motor oil 

and other items are being dumped 

there. 

The dumpsters are supposed to 

be emptied on a regular basis, according 

to the solid waste disposal 

contract the city has with Heartland 

Waste Management. The bins 

should be emptied at least once 

every two weeks or at a minimum 

of once per month as required or as 

necessary. If any non-recyclable 

materials are in the dumpsters, the 

entire load of material will be rejected 

by places that normally accept 

such loads. 

This incident is not the first time 

the city has had problems with the 

recycling dumpsters. The most recent 

problems began last fall and 

have continued through the first 

part of 2012. 

Deputy Finance Officer Brittany 

Smith has visits with Toby and 

Kent Mauck, owners of Heartland 

Waste Management and their 

garbage truck employees on a regular 

basis. According to Smith, 

Heartland has stated it is not able 

to recycle the items because the 

Rapid City Recycling Center has 

been too full. In turn, Heartland 

has hired Waste Connections, 

Rapid City and Wall, to take care 

of the recyclables with an agreement 

that they would be emptied 

every two weeks. Unfortunately, 

this has not always been the case, 

especially with the newspaper recycling 

dumpsters. 

One option being looked into is to 

put locks on the lids of the dumpsters. 

The lids have access holes 

that would have to suffice for any 

recyclable materials to fit if locks 

are installed. The situation would 

be less of a problem if people would 

close the lids and use the straps 

available to secure the lids. People 

should not use the recycle dumpsters 

for non-recyclable materials. 

Only newspaper and cardboard are 

allowed in the recycling dumpsters. 

The Community Betterment Committee 

also has a container for the 

collection of aluminum cans.

Members of the Haakon School 

District and the Wall School District 

boards of education met in 

Philip, Wednesday, May 16, to discuss 

finances, politics and other 

concerns. 

Wade Pogany, executive director 

of the Associated School Boards of 

South Dakota, headed the informational 

meeting. “My goal is to get a 

discussion going among board 

members; info gathering on thinking 

by board members and thinking 

out west here,” said Pogany. 

The ASBSD is putting its influence 

in support of the upcoming 

Initiated Measure 15, which would 

increase state general sales and 

use taxes for additional kindergarten 

through 12 public education 

and Medicaid funding. “As property 

tax keeps moving, at some 

point people say “No more,”said 

Pogany. “It’s creating an inequity 

issue – have and have nots – a real 

disparity. An opt-out is easier said 

than done. Would you rather have 

property taxes increase and spread 

over the state, or have a sales tax 

increase?” 

Mark Nelson, Haakon School 

District board member, said he had 

been talked to by local taxpayers. If 

a sales tax goes through, then will 

an opt-out also be asked for?” 

Pogany estimated that the 

amount of funds from Measure 15 

would be approximately $700 per 

enrolled student. “You are trying to 

keep the cuts as minimal as possible, 

trying to do everything you can 

not to hurt the children. What 

could you do with $700 per kid; not 

a wish list but a have to? Right now 

we are in survival mode. The 

schools in the state are so far in the 

hole we can’t do things that are 

needed by the students,” said 

Pogany. 

Pogany said that the funds from 

Measure 15 have no strings attached. 

The measure does not affect 

higher education, just 

kindergarten through 12th grade. 

It does have Medicaid on board; 

pooled together, to work together to 

leverage together for a shared 

need. 

Vonda Hamill, Haakon School 

District board member, said, “People 

really need to know this is not 

like the gambling money. It will 

come to the schools.” 

Anita Peterson, Haakon School 

District board member, said, “Some 

people are saying this is helping 

the legislators out. They don’t have 

to raise taxes, the vote will.” Peterson 

is on the 18-member board of 

directors of the ASBSD. 

“I know this will help balance us 

out,” said Dennis Rieckman, Wall 

superintendent. “It’s been cut, cut, 

cut. We’ve never been able to look 

to the future with money.” Pogany 

agreed, “Many school districts said 

at least the first two years would be 

needed to get them out of the hole.” 

Hamill said, “I agree, a lot of the 

mentality is the state has to provide 

for an adequate education. 

That depends on what you think is 

adequate.” 

Nelson said, “A lot of our younger 

teachers with no real ties to the 

community get three or four years 

experience, then move to a different 

state that pays a lot more.” 

The ASBSD addresses other legislative 

issues. Todd Trask, Wall 

School District board member, 

wants the ASBSD to back legislation 

that goes for “local control, 

with some teeth in it.” Trask would 

like school and public lands money 

to stay in the county where the 

land is. He would like Payments in

payments to local governments 

that help offset losses in property 

taxes due to nontaxable federal 

lands within their boundaries) that 

goes to counties to be split some 

way with schools. Pogany said, 

“But then you’re taking from other 

entities. That would be a hard hill 

to die on in a battle with county 

commissioners.” 

Nelson said, “Some people like 

the merit pay, but that puts a 

tremendous burden on our administrative 

staff.” Hamill agreed, “It 

wouldn’t change our good quality 

one iota, so why put our teachers in 

contention with each other?” 

Rieckman believes other government 

agencies “are stretching the 

Department of Education too far.” 

Pogany summarized various attempts 

over the years to get a financial 

accountability bill passed. 

“It’s a matter of trust. We have 

elected school boards, open meetings, 

transparency – let them 

(school boards) do their jobs.” 

On a different legal topic, Pogany 

warned the audience that sexting 

is now considered a criminal offense, 

even for minors. How will 

school boards handle the issue 

when it comes up? Also, though 

most school districts have anti-bullying 

policies, they should check 

the wording to align more closely 

with state requirements.

South Dakota’s Jim Abdnor passes at 89 

Jim Abdnor died at the age of 89 

in Sioux Falls, Wednesday, May 

16, of natural causes. 

Abdnor was a former teacher, 

coach and World War II U.S. Army 

veteran. He worked his way to the 

state legislature, eventually becoming 

the South Dakota’s lieutenant 

governor. He was voted into 

the United States Congress, where 

he served on the Senate Appropriations 

Committee. When Abdnor 

lost his Senate seat, President 

Ronald Reagan appointed him as 

head of the United States Small 

Business Administration, a post he 

held for two years. 

Abdnor moved from Rapid City 

to a retirement facility in Sioux 

Falls in 2003. He moved to assisted 

living in late 2010. 

Abdnor was born in 1923. In 

1945, he received a bachelor's degree 

in business administration 

from the University of Nebraska. 

He taught school at Kennebec and 

Presho. He then became a farmer. 

He served in the U.S. Army during 

World War II. 

In 1956, he was elected to the 

South Dakota Senate, where he 

served six terms. In 1968, he was 

elected lieutenant governor, filling 

that position until 1971. Abdnor 

never married. 

Senator John Thune stated, 

“Everything I know about politics 

that is good I learned from Jim 

Abdnor. He was a hardworking and 

effective fighter for South Dakota, 

and one of the most decent and 

genuine people to ever hold elective 

office. I came to know Jim through

1975-76. (Courtesy of S.D. State Historical 

Society-Archives) 

our mutual love of sports and have 

been blessed to have him as a mentor 

and a role model. Kimberley 

and I and our daughters, who Jim 

treated as his own, will always remember 

Jim’s friendship and mentoring 

and his boundless love for 

South Dakota. He was a mentor 

and a friend and I will miss him 

greatly.” Thune gave the eulogy at 

Abdnor’s funeral. 

South Dakota Democratic Party 

Chairman Ben Nesselhuf stated, 

“Senator Jim Abdnor dedicated his 

life to our state and South Dakota 

is forever indebted to him. Our 

thoughts and prayers are with his 

family and friends.” 

United States Senator Tim Johnson 

(D-SD) stated, “Jim worked 

Grants to improve rural housing 

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack 

has announced that applications 

for grants are being accepted 

to provide assistance to low and 

very low income rural residents to 

repair their homes. 

“Strong rural communities are a 

key to a stronger America, and 

safe, sanitary housing is crucial to 

improving the quality of rural life,” 

said Vilsack. “These grants to qualified 

intermediaries help limitedincome 

rural homeowners make 

necessary repairs and improvements 

for safer, healthier and more 

energy efficient dwellings.” 

United States Department of 

Agriculture Rural Development is 

offering Housing Preservation 

Grants to intermediaries such as 

town or county governments, public 

agencies and non-profit and 

faith-based organizations. The 

grants are then distributed to qualified 

homeowners or owners of 

multi-family rental properties or 

cooperative dwellings who rent to 

low and very low income residents. 

USDA does not provide funding directly 

to homeowners under this 

program. 

Grants can be used to weatherize 

and repair existing structures, install 

or improve plumbing or provide 

access to people with disability. 

Housing Preservation Grants 

help bring job growth and stability 

to low income communities while 

improving the living conditions of 

rural Americans. 

For fiscal year 2012, USDA may 

award up to $4.1 million in competitive 

grants through the Housing 

Preservation Grant program. Applications 

are due June 25. For

very hard over the years to serve 

the people of South Dakota. His 

passion for public service was inspiring 

to me and countless others 

in our state. My thoughts and 

prayers are with Jim’s friends and 

family.” 

Secretary of State Jason Gant 

stated, “Our hearts go out to the 

family and close friends of Senator 

Abdnor. His entire life was devoted 

to serving the people of our state, 

and most importantly, mentoring 

many young people, most of which 

are still involved in South Dakota 

politics. One of the things I remember 

the most about Jim was his uncanny 

memory when it came to 

remembering your name. No matter 

how much time had passed, he 

instantly remembered you, and 

particular facts about you. I think 

that says a lot about why he was 

such a giant in our state. His being 

a South Dakota leader wasn’t 

about an ego, or self interest. It was 

about serving others. And when he 

acted, you knew he cared for each 

and every person in our state.” 

In 1993, Abdnor donated his congressional 

papers to the State Historical 

Society-Archives at the 

Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre. 

The Abdnor collection consists of 

his official correspondence, newspaper 

clippings, photographs, 

audio and video recordings, 

speeches and other records documenting 

his time as a U.S. Senator 

and as head of the U.S. Small business 

Administration. A research 

room in the State Archives, called 

“The Abdnor Room,” contains Abdnor 

memorabilia. 

Abdnor, born and raised in Kennebec, 

began a long and distinguished 

political career with his 

involvement in the South Dakota 

Young Republicans and the National 

Young Republicans. 

Abdnor served on the Public 

Works, Veterans Affairs and Aging 

Committees while in the U.S. 

House of Representatives. While 

U.S. Senator, he served on the Appropriations, 

Environment and 

Public Works, and Joint Economic 

Committees. Every year that Sen. 

Abdnor was in Congress he won 

the Watchdog of the Treasury 

award because of his dedication to 

reduce the deficit. He advocated for 

rural water development while on 

the Environment and Public Works 

committee and authored the Water 

Resources Development Act of 

1986. 

Abdnor served as first assistant 

chief clerk of the South Dakota 

House of Representatives in 1951, 

1953 and 1955. He then became 

State Senator from 1956-1968, 

serving 10 years as chairman of the 

Joint House/Senate Appropriations 

Committee and President Pro-tempore 

of the South Dakota Senate 

from 1967-1968. In 1968, he ran a 

successful campaign to become the 

30th lieutenant governor of South 

Dakota, serving with Governor 

Frank Farrar. In 1972, Abdnor was 

elected to the 93rd Congress, U.S. 

House of Representatives and later 

re-elected to the 94th, 95th and 

96th Congress. 

In 1980 Abdnor challenged the 

incumbent senator, George McGovern, 

and won a decisive victory. He 

was defeated in the 1986 U.S. Senate 

general election by Tom 

Daschle. In December of 1986, 

President Ronald Reagan nominated 

Abdnor to head the U.S. 

Small Business Administration. He 

retired in 1989.

Editors and S.D. court officials 

A group of South Dakota Newspaper 

Association editors met with 

state court officials in Pierre, May 

14, to discuss issues related to 

newsgathering in the courts system. 

“It was a good, productive twohour 

meeting,” stated David Bordewyk, 

general manager of SDNA. 

“Among other things, our members 

stressed the difficulties getting access 

to court records and doing 

records searches, especially when 

the courts require a date of birth 

associated with the name being 

searched or a court case number.” 

“Most importantly, we emphasized 

the need for ongoing meetings 

with Unified Justice System 

officials, especially as their new 

digital records system is put in 

place. (Patricia) Duggan and (Greg) 

Sattizahn agreed that regular 

meetings with SDNA members 

would be beneficial.” 

Court officials discussed the rollout 

of a new digital court records 

management system. By next year 

they want to have all clerks of 

courts offices across the state using 

the digital records system. Eventually, 

all court records will be kept 

and shared digitally, replacing the 

current system of paper and file 

cabinets. 

Among the SDNA representatives 

at the meeting were Bordewyk 

and Argus Leader Editor 

Maricarrol Kueter. Kueter chairs 

the SDNA First Amendment Committee. 

Representing the UJS were 

State Courts Administrator Duggan 

and Director of Policy and 

Legal Services Sattizahn. 

Gardening woes ... by Del Bartels 

I’m not much of a gardener, but I have learned through experience 

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

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

plant that something near cars, sidewalks or patios. “Grows increasingly 

beautiful each year” translates to “Looks like road kill for several 

seasons.” “May require support” means all the needed supports will actually 

hide the plants. “Moisture-loving” plants are perfect ... if you 

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

it’s a relative to Canadian thistle. “Carefree” refers to the plant’s attitude 

rather than to your workload. “Vigorous” is a code term for “worlddominating 

weed.” “Grandma’s favorite” is a counter-advertisement to 

free-flowering, disease-resistant, hardier hybrids. 

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

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

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

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

“plant managers,” then I’m lower than entry-level. I’m so cheap that I 

can’t experiment with different plants ... I haven’t botany. Is working 

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

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

its diameter and you get pumpkin pi. 

I guess gardening together could be a bit romantic. If you carrot all 

for her, she makes your heart beet. She’s cute, with her turnip nose 

and radish face. She’s a real peach, a sweet tomato. Weed make a swell 

pear. Lettuce marry very soon, but we cantaloupe. 

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

less concerned with global warming than with global worming. Wash 

all vegetables, you don’t know where they’ve bean. Beware the pea, and 

especially the natural fertilizer. Gardeners do know that soil supplements 

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

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

relationship destined to be mud? 

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

and odd herbs to understand the song “Scarborough Fair” with it’s line 

‘parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.’ Some plant names can’t be pronounced 

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

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

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

Who hasn’t been annoyed by (1) being suckered into being on Facebook, 

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

Supposedly gardens can be profitable. Everybody wants to harvest a 

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

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

and profit. He obviously don’t know me well, because neither applies. 

Letter to the Editor 

I am writing to encourage everyone 

to take time Memorial Day to 

remember to give thanks to our 

war dead and wounded veterans. 

The greatest casualty is forgetting 

the War Dead ever existed. Many 

died before they were married and 

had children so we don’t see their 

children or grandchildren in our 

schools and social events. 

As we attend Memorial Day programs 

and later family or community 

potlucks or picnics, we might 

hear an older person say, he was a 

fine young man. but he never came 

back. I hope people ask, “What was 

his/her name, who were/are his 

parents and where was he/she laid 

to rest?” I commend Philip for their 

Living Memorial. The plaques and 

evergreen trees bordered with 

white fence are very noticeable and 

make it convenient for people to 

walk among our local heroes’ markers. 

I feel it is bad form to blow your 

own horn, and most deserving veterans 

are either unable to do so because 

they were killed in action or 

wounded, and they just shrug it off 

as being part of their duty. Many 

brave veterans have come home 

with physical or emotional scars 

that affect them for life. I can think 

of two schoolmates of mine who 

died recently in their 60s who 

served in Vietnam and were exposed 

to Agent Orange. 

Let’s take time to repeat their 

names and say thanks for serving 

our great nation. We will continue 

to be free only so long as we have 

the brave to guarantee it.

who mutually agree to 

support each other. Under these 

two programs, the practical handson 

training to be a physicians assistant 

will also include disaster 

preparedness training. 

Governor Dennis Daugaard is 

asking motorists to be extra cautious 

on South Dakota highways 

during the upcoming Memorial 

Day weekend. 

South Dakota highways have 

been fatality free during this threeday 

holiday weekend the last two 

years. In 2011, however, 30 people 

were injured in 123 crashes. Eight 

of those crashes were alcohol related, 

according to statistics from 

the State Office of Highway Safety. 

“Memorial Day weekend is the 

kickoff for the summer travel season, 

and highways will almost certainly 

be busier than usual with 

many families traveling during the 

holiday period,’’ Gov. Daugaard 

said. “I hope everyone has a great 

Though under the main supervision 

of PA Terry Henrie, “I follow 

Dr. (Coen) Klopper and Janell Gerbering 

and, if opportunity arises, 

I’ll follow Dr. (Dave) Holman too. 

Today, I’ll follow gals in the lab and 

see all the blood work stuff. I’ve 

been in the emergency room, and 

I’ll see more of that I‘m sure,” said 

Hoffman, who will be at PHSI for 

six weeks before her eventual December 

graduation as a phyicians 

assistant from University of South 

Dakota. “I’ll take my certification 

test in January to be PA certified, 

and a that point I can practice.” 

“My original plan was to go to 

nursing school. A couple years into 

that, that’s not quite the direction 

I wanted to go. Went into cardiovascular 

ultrasound; I loved it, did 

it for 13 years. I worked with physicians, 

PAs, nurse practioners and 

how they worked with patients, diagnose 

and treat patients. As I 

watched them work, I really could 

see myself in the same position. I 

saw other aspects of the medical 

field, and was pulled to being a 

provider,” said Hoffman. 

“I had a choice and I chose 

Philip. Mainly I wanted to work 

West River. Philip would expose 

me to how it is on the west side of 

the state – there are differences – 

and the individuals in the communies,” 

said Hoffman. “It’s nice and 

quiet; so far I don’t see anything 

other than that. 

“The worse thing? Well, I can’t 

come up with something. The best 

thing is everyone I’ve come in contact 

with – community, patients, or 

individuals in the clinic – is welcoming, 

friendly. Everyone has 

made me feel so comfortable, like 

I’ve been a Philip resident forever,” 

said Hoffman.” 

Governor Daugaard urges safe 

travel for Memorial Day weekend 

time with family and friends. 

Please make safe choices as you 

travel, and please follow traffic 

laws that are in place to help keep 

all of us safe.’’ 

The governor encourages drivers 

to: 

•Follow speed limits. It is not 

safe to travel faster than posted 

speed limits. 

•Wear a seatbelt. The Office of 

Highway Safety slogan is “Someone 

needs you. Buckle up.’’ 

•Avoid drinking and driving. 

•Avoid distractions. 

•Slow down through construction 

zones, not only because fines 

are double in those zones but also 

for your own safety and the safety 

of highway workers.

Peggy Benne___________________________________ 

Peggy Benne, age 84, of Rapid 

City, S.D., formerly of Wall, died 

Wednesday, May 16, 2012, at her 

home in Rapid City. 

Peggy Johnson was born May 

12, 1928, in New Underwood, the 

daughter of Sam and Lila (Packman) 

Johnson. She was raised in 

Wall and graduated from Wall 

High School in 1946. She then went 

on to Black Hills Teacher’s College 

and got her teaching certificate. 

Peggy married Jack Benne on 

December 28, 1949, in Wall. Jack 

was in the Army and then worked 

for the conservation service. With 

his work they moved often, so she 

taught in several places: Buffalo, 

Wyo., Philip, Quinn, Wall and Hot 

Springs. 

After her husband Jack died in 

1970, she moved her family to 

Wall, where she worked for the 

Wall School District until she took 

a job with the postal service. She 

retired from the postal service in 

1986. After retiring, she filled her 

time by working at Wall Drug, 

spending time with her family and 

friends, watching her grandkids’ 

sports, and she always had something 

baked to share for whoever 

stopped by. 

Survivors include her sons, Kim 

(Candy) Benne and Sam (Joyce) 

Benne, both of Rapid City; two 

daughters, Tammy (Keith) Vosler 

of Country Club Hills, Ill., and 

Jamie (Don) Jorgensen of Sloan, 

Iowa; 15 grandchildren Ryan 

(Kerri) Benne, Kamala (Will) 

Williams, Kalli Benne, Jack 

(Alexis) Benne, Matthew, Cole, 

Kyle, and Cody Benne, Michael, 

Ricky, Jonathon, Mikayla and Katlyn 

Vosler, and Kendra and Blake 

Jorgensen; and three great-grandchildren. 

In addition to her husband Jack, 

Peggy was preceded in death by 

her parents; her sister, Norrie 

Phillips and her husband, Glenn; a 

brother, Bud Johnson and his wife, 

Merle; and sister, Norma Kennedy 

and her husband, Bryce. 

Funeral services were held Sunday, 

May 20, at the United 

Methodist Church in Wall, with 

Pastors Darwin Kopfmann and 

Steve Sieling officiating. 

Music was provided by Carol 

Hahn, pianist, and Peggy Kretz, 

Ronda Sieling, Mikayla Vosler, 

Tammy Vosler and Jamie Jorgensen, 

vocalists. 

Ushers were Jerry Johannesen 

and Bill Leonard. Pallbearers were 

Ryan, Jack, Matt, Cole, Kyle and 

Cody Benne, Blake Jorgensen and 

Boyce Kennedy. 

Interment was in the Wall 

Cemetery. 

A memorial has been established. 

Arrangements were with the 

Rush Funeral Chapel of Wall.

Robert J. “Bob” Schnyder, Jr.______________________ 

Robert John “Bob” Schnyder, 

Jr., the husband for nearly 48 

years of former Philip resident, 

Alice Janet Minard, has died in 

California. He was 87. 

Born January 8, 1925, in New 

Orleans, La., Bob grew up loving 

all kinds of sporting contests and 

would hop on his bike and ride 

around his area of the city until he 

found a game to play in. He became 

a student of many sports; and his 

enthusiasm, dedication, and natural 

athletic ability led to his winning 

awards and championships as 

a player in high school and college, 

and later, as a coach. 

Bob also loved animals. In later 

years, his and Janet’s home became 

an adoptive home for many 

stray cats – from Aloysius to The 

Midnight Cowboy. Two cats – The 

Sundance Cat and Sparky – even 

made trips to Philip! 

World War II was in full gear 

when Bob volunteered for induction 

into the U.S. Army, serving 

from March of 1943 to March of 

1946. He was in various special 

programs in the army until his outfit 

was called into action. In September 

of 1944, he found himself 

on some of the same French terrain 

the Allied invasion forces had 

landed on three months earlier. 

After his discharge from the 

army, he took advantage of the incredible 

opportunity provided by 

the G.I. Bill and pursued his athletic 

and academic career at what 

now is Illinois State University. On 

the athletic fields he was known as 

“Bayou Bob!” Inside the classrooms, 

he studied the biological sciences, 

eventually writing his master’s 

thesis about water pollution 

he and his students discovered in 

the town where he first was teaching. 

After teaching in Illinois for four 

years later, he and his wife and 

children moved to southern California 

where he taught for 32 years at 

South Gate Senior High School in 

the Los Angeles Unified School 

District. He taught biology and 

health and coached football and 

baseball. 

It was at South Gate where, 

after the dissolution of his first 

marriage, he met Janet Minard, 

who had just arrived to begin her 

teaching duties in September, 

1963. Married in August of 1964, 

they both continued their teaching 

careers at South Gate for many 

years. 

During these years, they spent 

much time in Philip during their 

summer vacations. Bob, who had 

previously considered golf to be a 

kind of “silly” game, little by little 

took up the sport; and with the 

help of his father-in-law, George, 

with his own natural ability, and 

with easy access to a “prairie 

course,” he became a pretty fair 

golfer. 

At his home in Buena Park, he 

became a great grower of vegetables 

– especially eggplant, zucchini 

and luscious tomatoes. He taught 

himself to paint pictures – landscapes, 

primarily, with both oils 

and acrylics. Many are on the walls 

of his home. 

After he retired from teaching in 

1987, he was plagued with osteoarthritis, 

especially in the hips 

and back. This slowed him down

somewhat, but the stroke he suffered 

a few days after back surgery 

in 1999, brought his golf playing 

days, as well as gardening and 

painting activities, to an end. 

Bob and Janet were avid movie 

watchers, especially old movies, 

and in recent years assembled 

quite a comprehensive collection of 

vintage films, thanks to the modern 

miracles of VHS and DVD. 

After suffering from two more 

strokes the last two months, his 

body was finished, even though his 

spirit of feistiness remained until 

almost the very end. His family is 

thankful that when his death was 

imminent, it came swiftly and 

peacefully on February 20, 2012. 

Bob was preceded in death by 

his parents, Robert, Sr. and 

Loretta, and his sons, Jeffrey and 

Kurt. 

In addition to his wife Janet, his 

survivors include his daughter, 

Lindsay Schnyder of Ft. Myers, 

Fla.; her two daughters, Skylar and 

Story Sandman; his daughter, Lisa 

Peterson of Duvall, Wash.; his sister, 

Ruth Masakowski of New Orleans; 

his sister-in-law, Julie 

Minard of Long Beach, Calif.; and 

his many nieces and nephews. 

An informal gathering will be 

held 11:00 a.m. Friday, June 1, at 

the Midland Cemetery, where 

Bob’s cremated remains will be 

buried, and will join his in-laws, 

George and Vivian Minard, and 

George’s parents, Dr. Ralph W. Minard 

and Alice Walker Minard 

Chase. 

Arrangements are with the 

Rush Funeral Home of Philip.

Donald L. “Don” Aby____________________________ 

Donald L. Aby died Monday afternoon, 

May 21, at the Rapid City 

Regional Hospital in Rapid City. 

Donald L. Aby, better known as 

Don to his family and friends, was 

born March 18, 1949, at Pierre, the 

son of Perry C. Aby, Sr. and Irma 

Mae (Masek) Aby. He grew up in 

the Owanka community where he 

began receiving his education at 

Owanka Rural School. He then attended 

one year of high school in

SATAN AND THE TRUTH 

by Cornelius R. Stam 

"If any man be in Christ he is a new creation..." (II Cor. 5:17). 

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus..." (Eph. 2:10). 

"And ye are complete in Him..." (Col. 2:10). 

"In Christ!" What a glorious truth! What a high and holy position! No religious 

ceremony, neither circumcision nor baptism, needed to make us spiritually complete. God only asks now: "Walk worthy 

of the vocation wherewith ye are called" (Eph. 4:1). 

Many Christians are satisfied with salvation through the blood of Christ, but God wants us to have much more than 

this. He wants us to have "the full assurance of understanding" (Col. 2:2), to know the security, the blessedness, the 

glory of a position in Christ. He wants us to know "the exceeding riches of His grace" (Eph. 2:7), and to enjoy "all spiritual 

blessings in heavenly places in Christ" (Eph. 1:3). 

But Satan does not! 

For proclaiming these glorious truths the Apostle Paul was bitterly opposed on every hand, even by some saved religious 

leaders of his day. 

And Satan has not changed! 

Proclaim this message today and "your adversary the devil" will soon be roused to action. He hates this message of 

grace which the glorified Lord revealed through Paul (Eph. 3:1-3) and let us not be asleep to the fact that, as in Paul's 

day, he will again seek to use even saved religious leaders, evangelical "big guns," if he can, to oppose it, thus robbing 

Christ of His glory and believers of their blessings. 

To the Reader: 

Some of our Two Minutes articles were written many years ago by Pastor C. R. Stam for publication in newspapers. When many of these 

articles were later compiled in book form, Pastor Stam wrote this word of explanation in the Preface: 

"It should be borne in mind that the newspaper column, Two Minutes With the Bible, has now been published for many years, so that local, 

national and international events are discussed as if they occurred only recently. Rather than rewrite or date such articles, we have left them 

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

as newspaper articles." 

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

In last week’s column, I mentioned 

the need for rain! That much 

needed rain came along with some 

strong winds and some pea-sized 

hail. We missed out on all of that as 

we were out of town for a graduation. 

Heard tell Jerry Nemec’s farm 

made it on Facebook as it told of 

water running over the road at the 

DeYoung place! When we got home 

we took a drive out to the farm and 

sure enough you could see where 

the water had run over the road 

with water standing in one of the 

fields and ducks enjoying a swim. 

Water had even run over the road 

a little ways up the hill to the west, 

so water and wind must have been 

rather active to be sure. Our rain 

gauge showed two inches and 10- 

hundredths or so, but our rain 

gauge is rather narrow and with 

the wind blowing like it was it may 

not have caught all of the rain. 

From the looks of things we must 

have gotten some pea-sided hail, 

too. But we are thankful for the 

rain! We had an inch of rain in 

town! 

I am hesitating a bit in writing 

the news for the paper this week 

after some hic-ups in last week’s 

column. I’m thinking Ashely 

Schofield was a bit surprised to 

learn that her name was no longer 

Schofield but Sheffield? “Where did 

that name come from?” I’m thinking, 

“I don’t even know an Ashley 

Sheffield?” Just between you and 

me, I’m thinking someone or something 

was messing with my fingers 

that day! Because you see, I wasn’t 

done messing up in that particular 

paragraph. I had written Ashley 

was a fill-in teacher at the Kadoka 

school for a lady who was on maturity 

leave. It should have been maternity 

leave … but you do need 

some maturity when having a 

baby, don’t you think? Okay, 

enough said, it is time to see what 

I can come up with for this week! 

High school graduations were 

everywhere this past weekend! We 

were in Belle Fourche for the graduation 

of our granddaughter, Kayla 

Nemec, daughter of Jim and Carmen 

Nemec. There were 82 graduates

Kayla will be going to the School of 

Mines in Rapid City in the fall. Andrea 

Christine Schaeuffelen of Germany 

was an exchange student at 

Belle Fourche this past school year 

and graduated with the class of 

2012. They do something special at 

the Belle Fourche graduation for 

foreign exchange students. The 

folded American Flag is passed 

from senior to senior with one hand 

on top of the flag and one below the 

flag before being presented to the 

foreign exchange student. I have to 

say it is a most moving experience 

as you watch that flag being reverently 

passed from senior to senior. 

Beth Bowen, Denver, Colo., came 

home for her sister’s graduation as 

did Joanna Nemec from School of 

Mines in Rapid City. Joanna is 

planning on working at the Kadoka 

Nursing Home this summer. And 

Kayla will continue to work at a 

couple of businesses she worked at 

last summer and during her senior 

year of school. Others from our side 

of the family there were April and 

Miranda Meeker, Spearfish, Steve 

was unable to come due to other 

commitments, Charlene Nemec, 

Bismarck, N.D., and Jerry and myself. 

Christopher was at Navy Reserves 

in Washington state. While 

there, he got together with Jacob 

Nemec, our grandson, who is in the 

Navy and stationed there. Christopher 

and Stephanie and baby 

Laura are planning on going to 

Belle Fourche and Spearfish in 

early June, giving everyone a 

chance to see Laura. Les and Jolene 

will be coming at the end of 

June. So, you get-together when 

you can! Jim and Carmen had a 

nice reception of barbeque beef, salads 

and cake at their home following 

graduation. 

Our daughter-in-law, Stephanie, 

took her mom, Barbara van 

Oorschot, to the Sioux Falls airport 

this Monday as her three weeks 

were up and it was time to go back 

to her home in Kevelaer, Germany. 

Stephanie said it was hard for her 

mom to leave that grandbaby, but 

knowing that she and Josef would 

be coming back in November 

helped. It’s a long distance from 

Germany to South Dakota. But, I 

also know they are the kinds of 

people who will make the best of it. 

Jared Standiford is spending 

time with his dad, Ken Standiford, 

as he has some leave time from the 

Navy before eventually heading for 

New York. It was good to see him 

and have a chance to visit and to 

Four generations

catch up on things. Jared and 

Jason used to spend a lot of time at 

our house when they and Christopher 

were in school. 

Barbara and Morris Jones attended 

the Midland pre-school 

graduation to see their granddaughter, 

Josie Jones, graduate at 

the Midland School Monday, May 

14. Josie is the daughter of Jon and 

Jennifer Jones. The children were 

anxious to show the things they 

learned this year. Scotti Block was 

their teacher. Barbara went to see 

the kindergarten graduation and 

program in Philip the following 

Monday. Grandson Jess Jones was 

a part of the program. Following 

the program, a potluck lunch was 

served to guests, food provided by 

the childrens’ parents. Jess is the 

son of Jon and Jennifer Jones! 

Thursday, Audrey Jones went to 

Kadoka to watch her grandchildren, 

Brandon and Destiny Dale, 

at their regional track meet. They 

both did well, with Destiny making 

it to state. At the state track meet 

in Rapid City this week, Destiny 

will be running in two relays for 

the Kadoka Area team. Wish you 

well at the state track meet Destiny! 

Friday afternoon, Gene and Audrey 

Jones traveled to Wagner to 

visit with Lisa and Matt Foley and 

attend the graduation reception for 

grandson, Levi Geiman. Other 

family members arriving that 

evening were Rich Jones, Cochran, 

Ga., Brenda and Todd Nierman, 

Trevor, Emily and Zoey, Verona, 

Wis., Linda Giltner, Triston and 

Taylor, Meriden, Kan., and Julie 

Whitcher and Paula Jones from 

Rapid City. Saturday, the family 

all pitched in to help Lisa and Matt 

with the reception, which was well 

attended. Sunday morning, Foley’s 

visitors all left and headed to 

Kadoka to attend the graduation of 

Brandon Dale, son of Edna and 

Roger Dale. Lisa and Matt and 

family stayed home for Levi’s graduation. 

Edna and Roger hosted a 

reception Saturday night in honor 

of Brandon’s graduation. Sunday 

night, guests of Gene and Audrey 

were Rich Jones, Brenda, Todd, 

Trevor, Emily, Zoey Nierman, 

Linda, Triston and Taylor Giltner, 

Paula Jones and Evan Long. Other 

visitors that evening, but not 

spending the night, were Julie 

Whitcher, Roger, Edna, Brandon, 

Destiny, Miranda, and Mariah 

Dale, Jared Fosheim and children 

and Jim Larson. All the 

overnighters left on Monday except 

son Rich and grandchildren, Triston 

and Taylor, who will stay a few 

days. 

Sophie and Pat Foley, Jim Larson, 

Todd and Barby Larson, 

Kendall and Logan, Sioux Falls, 

Ashley Schofield, home from college 

at Black Hills State University 

in Spearfish, and Jeff Schofield and 

Renee and Landan Schofield attended 

the Kadoka graduation of 

which Bryan Schofield was one of 

the graduates. A reception was 

held at the Schofield home with 

roast beef sandwiches, salads, and 

Carol Hunt’s special cake. 

Mathew and Brianna Jones are 

first-time parents with the birth of 

a baby daughter, Jordyn Elizabeth 

Jones, born on May 5, 2012, weighing 

7 lbs. and 8 oz. and 20-1/2 

inches long. Little Jordyn made for 

a number of firsts, as she is the 

first grandchild for Scott and Jana 

Jones, the first great-grandchild for 

Shorty and Maxine Jones, and the 

first great-grandchild for Nick and 

Sandy Feller, Wall.Congratulations 

to Mathew and Brianna and 

to all of those grandparents and 

great-grandparents. Babies are 

just plain special! 

Shorty and Maxine Jones drove 

to Bellevue, Neb., May 9 for the 

graduation of their granddaughter, 

Carly Marie Smith, on May 10. 

They all attended church at 

Thanks Giving Lutheran on Sunday 

morning where the bell choir 

and a cello player provided special 

music for Mother’s Day. 

Joneses and Smiths joined the 

family of Shelley and Jon Iversen 

at the home in Papillion, Neb., for 

a special dinner to celebrate graduations 

and Mother’s Day. Twins, 

Eli and Grace Iversen, graduated 

from home school on Saturday. 

They have been accepted at 

SDSM&T in Rapid City for the fall 

term. Shelley's mother, Marilyn 

Olson, Bowman, N.D., was a guest 

of the Iversens. The Jones and 

Olson families (originally of Ludlow, 

S.D.) have a five generation 

friendship, but Marilyn and Shorty 

and Maxine had not seen one another 

for 15 to 20 years, so it was a 

very special time of remembering 

departed family members and old 

friends in South Dakota. Shelley 

and Nancy met only because their 

children were in Sunday school together 

and wanted the families to 

get acquainted. It took a little visiting 

and calls home to figure out 

that they had been to the same cattlemen 

meetings with their parents 

when too young and shy to get acquainted 

with one another. Now, 

the ladies are in church choir together 

and their families frequently 

celebrate events together. 

Those multi-generational friendships 

are pretty special, several of 

them within the Midland area. 

Sunday evening, Shorty, Maxine, 

Don, Nancy, and Carly drove to 

Lincoln to see the apartment Kimberley 

Smith and her school friend, 

Jessica, are sharing this year. They 

should be very comfortable there, 

with nice parks nearby and reasonable 

distances to work and 

school for both girls. After supper 

at a nearby mall restaurant, the 

travelers returned to Bellevue.

Shorty and Maxine returned home 

Monday, stopping at a farm near 

Davis to see a horse Shorty bought 

on an Internet sale on Saturday afternoon. 

The seller offered to deliver 

it since he was going out by 

Quinn to help at a branding. He is 

a horse chiropractor, so worked on 

a couple of other horses for Joneses 

when he delivered the new horse. 

Shorty and Maxine also drove up 

to Dell Rapids on the way home 

Monday to visit with Myron and 

Margaret Joneson at the nursing 

home. Both were feeling well and 

we all had a good visit. It was a little 

livelier because Myron called a 

mutual friend, Brian Burkhart, 

who came to the home for a short 

visit. An uncle of another friend 

from that area, Mike Smith, is also 

in the nursing home and came by 

to visit with the group in Myrons' 

room. That's good therapy for an 

older, ailing farmer who wishes he 

could still be out with his horses 

and farm work. He still is an entertaining, 

interesting visitor and it’s 

a pleasure to visit every chance we 

have. 

Shorty and Maxine discovered 

some damage on part of the ranch 

north of Kadoka where wind last 

Friday night blew over some corral 

panels, damaging some of them. 

The rain was welcome, and our 

sympathies go to those who had far 

worse damage to homes and businesses. 

Randy and Holly Nemec flew to 

Kansas Friday to surprise Daylin 

and Cindy Morrison Guipre for 

Daylin's high school graduation. 

Bryan Guipre set everything up for 

them to pull off the surprise. They 

returned home late Sunday night. 

It is time to close my news column 

this Tuesday as Jerry and I 

are heading up to Deep Creek to 

decorate graves. Tried getting hold 

of people, but didn’t find them at 

home! Sounds like we could be in 

for some hot temperatures and 

wind and possible chance of stormy 

weather later on! Hopefully, the 

weather won’t get too bad! I don’t 

care for those summer storms. But 

then, I guess nobody does! Take 

care and keep safe! 

Free entrance to all national 

parks for active duty military 

To show appreciation for those 

who serve in the United States military, 

as of May 19 – Armed Forces 

Day – the National Park Service 

began issuing annual free entrance 

passes to all 397 national parks for 

active duty military members and 

their dependents. 

This military version of the 

America the Beautiful National 

Parks and Federal Recreational 

Lands Pass also permits free entrance 

to sites managed by the 

United States Fish and Wildlife 

Service, the Bureau of Land Management, 

the Bureau of Reclamation, 

and the United States Forest 

Service. The pass is also available 

at these locations. They must show 

a current, valid military identification 

card. 

Eric Brunnemans, superintendent 

for Badlands National Park, 

said, “We honor the sacrifices our 

warriors and their families have 

made to this country. I know a visit 

to the Badlands can bring peace 

and happiness when we need it the 

most.” 

Visitors are encouraged to attend 

one of the daily ranger programs 

offered May 29 through September 

10. Fossils talks and junior ranger 

programs are especially popular for 

families with children. The night 

sky program is a must-see and is 

held Friday through Monday after 

the 9:00 p.m. evening ranger program 

in the Cedar Pass campground. 

For more information, see 

www.nps.gov/badl. 

Minuteman Missile National 

Historic Site does not charge an entrance 

fee, so passes are not required 

but can be picked up at the 

Badlands. “Minuteman Missile National 

Historic Site tells a contemporary 

military story that is 

directly connected to our airmen at 

neighboring Ellsworth Air Force 

Base,” stated Superintendent 

Ruben Andrade. 

National parks and the military 

have strong ties going back to the 

establishment of Yellowstone as 

the world’s first national park in 

1872. The U.S. Cavalry watched 

over America’s national parks and 

did double duty, serving as the first 

park rangers until the National 

Park Service was created 44 years 

later. During World War II, many 

parks were set aside for the training 

and care of military personnel.

Sayde Slovek, senior class president. 

“You are neat and incredible people, 

who I know will go get great things 

out of life. It’s not what you do, 

it’s how you do it. 

Your choices are yours to make.” 

Trey DeJong, valedictorian. 

“Every day of our lives, there are 

good days and bad. If we collect each 

of our greatest moments, we will 

make the greatest days. No worries. 

And God bless the Class of 2012.” 

LaRae Van Tassel, salutatorian.

very good surprises from our 

younger runners. We are looking

as they travel through the state. 

The centers are open seven days 

a week, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and 

are located along Interstates 29 

and Interstate 90. More than 

675,000 people stop at the Interstate 

Information Centers each 

year. 

Most of the centers close in mid 

to late September. The centers in 

Chamberlain, Vermillion and Valley 

Springs stay open through October 

because of out-of-state 

hunters and increased numbers of 

travelers during the fall season.

Midland School graduates 

Greetings from our little corner 

of the world … northeast Haakon 

County! This news is being written 

Monday evening, and it is cooling 

off with a light breeze. It was one 

of those days here that make you 

glad you don't live anywhere else! 

Beautiful! The inch of rain we received 

Friday night was sure a 

blessing … the crops, pastures, 

yards and gardens all benefited, 

and I know the rain certainly improved 

the attitudes around the 

community. We were getting pretty 

dry here. More rain is expected 

later in the week, and every drop 

will be welcome. While we enjoyed 

such a nice rain Friday, folks in the 

Kadoka area weren't quite so 

lucky. They had hard rain that 

came sideways because of the 

strong winds which took roofs off 

buildings, toppled trees, and generally 

caused damage. I also talked to 

some friends who had quite a bit of 

hail damage in some pastures and 

alfalfa fields. They are hoping the 

hail killed some of the grasshoppers 

… it sounds like they have 

quite an infestation starting. 

Graduations, receptions, brandings, 

family and friends, seemed to 

be the theme in our community 

this past week. Congratulations to 

all the graduates … now on to the 

next exciting chapters in your lives. 

The possibilities are endless! 

Jon and Connie Johnson have a 

graduate at their house … congratulations 

to their son, Wyatt. An 

open house was held at their home 

in Wyatt's honor on Saturday, and 

they had many friends and relatives 

from near and far on hand to 

share in his achievement. Friends 

Dave and Belinda Bauer came 

from Minnesota Friday, and cousin 

Steve and Lynn Johnson arrived 

Saturday, bringing Wyatt's grandmother, 

Shirley Johnson, with 

them from Minnesota. Friends Rob 

and Michelle Julian, Rapid City, 

arrived Saturday also. Wyatt's 

aunt, Deb, and uncle, Cory Burma, 

and their children arrived from Nebraska 

Thursday. The group attended 

the graduation in Philip 

Sunday, which was followed by another 

reception. The Bauers, Johnsons, 

and Julians were leaving on 

Monday, and the Burmas will stay 

until Wednesday. Jon and Connie 

were headed to Rapid City Monday 

to watch their son, Avery, compete 

in the State Golf Meet. They'll 

spend Monday evening with their 

friends, Rob and Michelle. Good 

luck to Avery! Last Thursday was 

the last day of school for the students 

at Cheyenne School where 

Connie teaches … another successful 

year wrapped up! 

Dick and Gene Hudson were 

busy helping with the reception for 

their grandson, Wyatt, and hosting 

some of the relatives at their home. 

Gene said they have been enjoying 

garden lettuce and spinach … it is 

self seeded, so it gets an early start. 

Nels and Dorothy Paulson have 

been making regular trips to town 

where a local dealership is trying to 

diagnose and fix a squeak in their 

four wheeler … no luck so far. They 

attended the reception for Wyatt 

Johnson Saturday afternoon. 

There was no church service at 

Deep Creek Sunday, so they had a 

Moenville News 

by Leanne Neuhauser • 567-3325 

leisurely day at home. Nels and 

several other gentlemen from the 

neighborhood were heading to the 

Sansarc Cemetery to do some mowing 

Monday morning. Dorothy was 

staying home entertaining 

"Arthur" (arthritis) … not her favorite 

guest by any means! 

Dorothy Paulson told me that 

friends Leo and Mary Anne Stoner 

have moved from their farm east of 

Pierre to an apartment in Philip. I 

don't have any details, but I'll bet 

they enjoy being back in the familiar 

community. Best wishes to 

them! 

Lola Roseth and Linda Smith 

were in Sioux Falls earlier in the 

week attending an emergency 

management conference. Friday, 

Duane and Lola's daughter Kayce 

Gerlach and her husband, John, arrived 

at the ranch. They came to 

help Lola celebrate her birthday. 

They brought food and did all the 

cooking while they were at the 

ranch, and they also painted some 

ceilings for Lola … what a gift! 

Kayce, John, Lola and Duane attended 

the reception for Wyatt 

Johnson Saturday afternoon. Sunday, 

Duane and Lola were in 

Kadoka to attend a graduation reception 

for Brian Schofield. Brian 

is the grandson of Sophie (Roseth) 

Foley and the son of Renee and Jeff 

Schofield. On the way back to the 

ranch, Duane and Lola stopped in 

Philip to visit their daughter-inlaw, 

Jackie, and grandson Royce. 

Their son, Thor, was busy finishing 

up duties following the machinery 

auction in Philip Saturday. Duane 

and Lola also visited Roy Roseth 

while they were in Philip. Lola said 

their son, Rhett, will officially become 

a homeowner Thursday, so 

she'll be going up to help him get 

settled. Congratulations, Rhett! 

Coreen Roseth went to the 

potluck lunch at Cheyenne School 

Thursday. Her granddaughter, 

Bobbi, is a student there. Saturday, 

Kristin (Roseth) Martin and children 

came to the ranch, and they 

all went to the open house for 

Wyatt Johnson. Following the open 

house, Coreen, Kristin and children 

visited with Jodi Roseth's 

mother, sister and nephew who 

were visiting from Minnesota. 

Coreen, Kristin and Fayth attended 

the graduation reception for 

Brian Schofield in Kadoka Sunday 

afternoon. 

Billy and Arlyne Markwed 

helped with the auction in Philip 

Saturday. Jeff and Kim (Markwed) 

Marso arrived from Missoula Saturday 

to spend some time with 

Billy and Arlyne. Jeff traveled to 

Pierre Sunday to visit his family 

there, and Kim's son, Trent, came 

to the ranch Sunday from his home 

in Aberdeen. Trent returned to his 

home Monday, and Jeff and Kim 

will be traveling to Aberdeen Tuesday. 

Jeanine Gabriel and children, 

along with Jeanine's mother, went 

to the Sioux Falls area Thursday to 

be on hand for a graduation there 

this weekend. They returned Sunday. 

Jeanine's mother traveled on 

to her home in Spearfish, taking 

Jeanine and T.J.'s two older children 

with her. The kids, Dylan and 

Kori, will be spending a few days in 

the Whitewood area with T.J.'s father, 

Larry Gabriel, and his wife, 

Jen. Great-grandson Kyler spent 

Monday with Arlyne. 

Shirley Halligan went to Pierre 

Wednesday and took her father-inlaw, 

Ken Halligan, to the visitation 

for Mrs. Ledbetter, who was a 

neighbor of Ken's at Parkwood. 

Shirley attended funeral services 

on Thursday before returning to 

the ranch. Saturday, Frank and 

Shirley went to an open house at 

the new school in Faith. On the 

way home, they attended the open 

house for Wyatt Johnson and then 

stopped at Lee and Mary Briggs' 

home to see their new deck. Sunday 

was spent in town doing yard 

work at their home there. 

Ray and Nancy Neuhauser had a 

visit from Nancy's niece, Marlys 

Keller, and her husband, Rich. 

They came from Arizona, headed 

for their home in North Dakota. 

Thursday, Ray and Nancy rode the 

senior citizen's bus to Vivian to the 

Norwegian Independence Day celebration. 

"Fingers" Lindquist provided 

the entertainment … Nancy 

said he played the piano very well, 

including several "tricks," such as 

playing with a sheet covering the 

keys. Saturday, Nancy worked for 

the South Dakota Beef Council for 

a couple of hours, and then she and 

Ray headed to the Black Hills 

where they joined her daughter, 

grandchildren and great-grandchildren 

at the family cabin. They were 

returning to Pierre Sunday when 

they had the misfortune of running 

into a coyote and blowing a tire. 

Thank goodness for cell phones and 

roadside assistance (although I 

don't think either the phone or the 

roadside assistance were of any 

help to the coyote). 

Chase Briggs (as well as many 

neighbors) commented on the wonderful 

rain. He said he and his family 

had been "pretty boring" this 

past week, but I think they are just 

a very content young family. And 

with those three precious little children, 

I doubt if there is ever a boring 

moment at their house these 

days! 

Joyce Jones attended the end-ofthe-year 

picnic at the Cheyenne 

School Thursday. After the picnic, 

Grandpa Weller picked up Mattie 

Jones and took her to the Uffda Parade 

in Vivian. Grandson Luke accompanied 

Joyce to Onida, where 

Luke played with his cousins and 

Joyce attended an Eastern Star 

meeting. On the way home, Joyce 

had the misfortune of running into 

a deer, which took out the grill on 

the front of the car. Granddaughter 

Mattie made the observation that 

the car now looks like it is "grinning 

evilly." Saturday, Max and 

Joyce attended the open house for 

Wyatt Johnson, and Sunday they 

were in Ft. Pierre for graduation 

ceremonies. 

Lee and Mary Briggs' home was 

a busy place this past weekend. 

Their son-in-law, Adam Joens, has 

been at the ranch off and on for the 

past couple of weeks helping build 

some corrals. Saturday, Keva 

Joens came from Spearfish, attended 

a graduation open house in 

Ft. Pierre, and spent the night at 

Lee and Mary’s. Adam and Keva's 

sons, Seth and Zane, plus one of 

their friends, helped with branding 

at the Mortenson ranch Saturday. 

Zane Joens spent Saturday night 

at Lee and Mary’s, and the other 

two boys returned to Spearfish. 

Sunday, Rea Riggle, Kinsey Riggle, 

and Nancy Riggle joined Mary and 

Keva, and the ladies attended a 

rodeo at Takini. Cattabrie Riggle 

was one of the contestants, and she 

got third place in pole bending … 

congrats to her! 

Marge Briggs said she measured 

1.01" of rain from Friday night's 

shower. Her son, Lynn, and neighbor, 

Helen Beckwith, helped Marge 

plant some garden last week, and 

she still has a few more things to 

plant. Marge's grandson, Casey, 

was home over the weekend, and 

he stopped in for a visit. Marge's 

daughter, Janet, was also home, 

and she and Casey washed some 

windows and Janet helped with 

some garden chores. As I've heard 

many times … having clean windows 

gives you a whole new "out 

look!" 

I didn't get to speak to Kevin or 

Mary Neuhauser, but I know they 

were in Sioux Falls over the weekend 

to be on hand for daughter Brianna's 

graduation from Augustana 

College. That makes three college 

graduations in three weeks for 

them and their children! While in 

Sioux Falls, they loaded the furniture 

from the apartment Brianna 

and Sarah were staying in and took 

the furniture to Spearfish to furnish 

Sarah's townhouse there. 

Sarah will begin her job in 

Spearfish this week, I believe. 

Kevin was in Pierre Monday 

evening for a meeting at the Masonic 

Lodge.
