A Publication of Ravellette Publications, Inc., Philip, South Dakota 57567. The Official Newspaper of Haakon County, South Dakota. Copyright 1981. 

Ravellette Publications, Inc. launches 

e-Editions of two of its seven newspapers 

Electronic editions ... Entire issues of seven weekly newspapers owned by Ravellette Publications, Inc., will be accessible 

from any of three addresses of pioneer-review.com, ravellettepublications.com or philipsd.com. The e-Editions 

of the Pioneer Review and the Pennington County Courant are currently viewable for free so the readership may learn 

to navigate the site. Eventually subscriptions will be required, which will include user names and passwords. 

The venture continues for Ravellette 

Publication, Inc., in creating 

electronic editions of its seven 

newspapers, as a complement to its 

newsprint editions. 

Until recently, the readership 

could access a teaser version of the 

Pioneer Review on the newspaper’s 

website. The website – accessible 

from any of three addresses of pioneer-review.com,ravellettepublications.com 

or philipsd.com – is now 

undergoing a major update from 

the limited inclusion of some of the 

main stories. It will now be a complete 

page-by-page edition of eventually 

each issue of each newspaper. 

The e-Editions of the Pioneer Review 

and the Pennington County 

Courant are available now, with 

the other newspapers to come online 

before the end of this summer. 

For a limited time, the e-Editions 

of the Review and the Courant are 

free. They are already available in 

their entirety in the e-Edition version. 

“The newspapers will eventually 

go behind a ‘paywall’ once we get 

all of the kinks worked out,” said 

Kelly Penticoff, general manager of 

operations at Ravellette Publications. 

“Right now the public is in- 

vited to navigate the site and get 

used to the features. They can 

place classifieds, wedding and engagement 

announcements right 

now.” 

The site offers several ways of 

viewing the electronic newspaper. 

It can be seen be scrolled, sliding or 

booking. For easier reading, each 

section can be zoomed-in. A certain 

number of back issues may be revisited 

at the subscriber’s discretion. 

When possible, some of the 

photos for the main stories will be 

in color. It is hoped that the public 

will find the navigation to be easy, 

once a little time is used exploring 

the different facets of the e-edition 

of the hometown newspapers before 

the free time is over. 

“The public will be notified a 

week or so before this happens so 

they can subscribe. Once it does go 

behind the ‘paywall,’ then a subscriber 

will pay online for a yearly 

subscription and will create a user 

name and password,” said Penticoff. 

Some of the stories popping into 

the new system are from older issues 

of the newspapers. As time 

goes on and experience increases, 

all the stories and photos will be 

current per issue. The e-editions 

will be available on the same dates 

that the print editions come out. 

Each subscription, user name 

and password will be for each individual 

newspaper. Subscriptions 

for the newsprint version and for 

the e-edition version will be separate.

The radiology department of 

Philip Health Services Inc. has had 

a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry 

(DEXA) scanner installed. 

This is a specialized device for 

detecting bone density, and the 

onset of osteopenia and osteoporosis. 

PHSI used to offer this service 

through a mobile unit, but the mobile 

unit service out of Rapid City 

was discontinued and disbanded in 

early 2011. PHSI has now purchased 

the same equipment that 

was used before, and that machinery 

has been installed for regular 

use in Philip. 

All four of the PHSI radiology 

technologists – Department Manager 

Kayla Eymer, Lacey 

Clements, Lori Seager and Mindy 

Green – will operate the machine 

on their scheduled days. They were 

trained by a General Electric applications 

trainer from Minneapolis, 

during an eight-hour course taken 

over two days. 

After the patient fills out a form 

telling of their personal and family 

history concerning bone diseases 

and breaks, the DEXA scan itself 

takes only about 15 minutes. This 

particular test, though important 

Nursing home Christmas party ... The residents and staff of the Philip 

Nursing Home held their annual Christmas party, Thursday, December 22, in 

the dining room. Santa visited, handed out gifts and chatted with the residents. 

Staff, who wore “I believe in Santa” elf 

caps, had drawn names for which resident 

would receive a gift from that staff 

member. Family and friends dropped in 

for the gift-giving and the following 

snacks. Shown are Gladys and Richard 

Smith with Santa. Photos by Del Bartels 

Santa and Mrs. Claus at the 

theater ... Santa and Mrs. Claus made 

a guest appearance at the Gem Theatre, 

Thursday, December 22. After the audience 

viewed the free animated movie 

“We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” the 

two celebrities handed out candy canes 

and listened to what individual children 

wanted for Christmas. The young-atheart 

of all ages – babies to adults – sat 

on Santa’s knee or hugged Mrs. Claus.

that a candy cane is an extra bonus

for its informative results, is not 

ever urgent. Most women 50 years 

of age or older should have this 

test, upon a doctor’s orders. The patient 

lies on the pad and the technologists 

scan the patient’s lower 

back and then their hips. If the patient 

has had a bone operation or a 

replacement in those areas, the 

scan is then of their forearm. 

There is no film, such as seen 

from x-rays. The information from 

the DEXA scanner is recorded in 

chart form with the graphs in three 

colors. This information is wired directly 

to a computer terminal. Dr. 

Coen Klopper is the PHSI practitioner 

who interprets the readings. 

Women do not retain their bone 

density as well as do men. One recommendation 

to fight the weakening 

of the bones is to supplement 

one’s diet with vitamin D, espe-

cially at a younger age. A person 

with signs of osteoporosis has a far 

greater chance of experiencing 

bone fractures, especially of the 

hips, and of vertebra compression. 

DEXA scans are used to measure 

bone mineral density because they 

are more accurate than regular xrays. 

A person would need to lose 

20-30 percent of their bone density 

before it would show up on an xray. 

DEXA scans require less radiation 

exposure than CAT scans or 

radiographic absorptiometry. People 

are exposed to more radiation 

on a coast to coast airline flight 

than during a DEXA scan. The radiation 

exposure from a DEXA 

scan is approximately one-tenth of 

the radiation from a chest x-ray, 

which that is approximately about 

three days exposure to the sun. 

Homemade cookies for Christmas ... Thursday, December 22, the members of the seventh grade class delivered

A New Year’s resolution does not necessarily have to be about something 

new. A promise to quit smoking counts even if the person plans 

to extend his last three years of no longer being a smoker. That kind of 

thinking also applies toward other possible resolutions. 

I resolve to continue to never miss an opportunity to crack a joke or 

pull a prank. This has been my goal for decades now, even though it 

has caused problems. Putting a whoopee cushion on the king’s throne 

at coronation is hilarious, though somewhat suicidal. I resolve to keep 

in contact with some very old friends, even though I don’t believe in 

séances. I resolve to continue watching my weight, even though most 

full length mirrors are now too narrow. I resolve to continue to be careful 

with my driving, which is easier now that most people who see me 

coming hurry and get off of the sidewalk. I resolve to continue to watch 

less and less television, so I will probably continue to fall asleep in front 

of the TV earlier and earlier each night. 

Some of the old year should be kept with the new year, and with any 

resolutions. “I will make new friends” may not be quite as important 

as “I will spend more time with old friends.” The idea of starting a new 

hobby might be great, but keeping the photo albums up-to-date and 

continuing to send birthday cards should not be put aside. Cooing and 

fussing over the neighbor’s new baby is great, but complimenting the 

baby’s older sister on her pre-school drawing is also important. A stringent 

new diet is important to staying alive, but stopping once a week 

to visit and for one of wheelchair-bound Mrs. Johnson’s cookies is what 

living is all about. What good is hunting for a larger buck trophy: having 

your kids turn out better than you did, striving for that closer 

friendship or volunteering more if you have nothing previous to compare 

or gauge these things to? 

The new year would be nothing without the old. The incoming New 

Year’s Baby is handed the hourglass from outgoing Father Time. We 

herald the new year with the song “auld lang syne.” People don’t often 

imagine celebrating a New Year’s party with new-found friends, but 

with old, dear friends and family. Family traditions abound at New 

Year’s, serving oyster stew, or clinking glasses of wine, or kissing at 

the stroke of midnight, or waking up from the living room chair long 

enough to wish the wide-awake kids a happy new year. How old is the 

tradition of the ball dropping in Times Square on New Year's Eve? Resolutions 

might imply something new – some kind of change. Some of 

my resolutions do that, but one of my plans for the new year is to hold 

on with all of my might to what I consider the best things of the old 

year. Friends, memories, dreams, lessons learned, triumphs realized 

... these come with me into the new year. 

Yes, it may be a new year, but the old year makes the new one what 

it is ... or rather what it will be.

S.D. Attorney General honored for fighting drunk driving, underage drinking 

Five attorneys general from 

across the nation are being recognized 

for their extraordinary efforts 

to eliminate drunk driving 

and underage drinking in their respective 

states. 

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, 

the Century Council, a national 

not-for-profit organization funded 

by distillers, is honoring leaders 

who have shown an outstanding 

commitment in this area. Attorneys 

General Marty Jackley – 

South Dakota, John Suthers – Colorado, 

Paula Dow – New Jersey, 

Rob McKenna – Washington, and 

J.B. Van Hollen – Wisconsin, have 

all been chosen to receive the Century 

Council’s 2011 Leadership 

Award for their ongoing dedication 

to fighting drunk driving and underage 

drinking. 

According to the underage drinking 

statistics from the 2011 Monitoring 

the Future Survey, the number 

of underage students consuming 

alcohol in their lifetime, in the 

past year, or in the past 30 days, 

has reached historic low levels. 

Since the Century Council’s inception, 

past month alcohol consumption 

among eighth, 10th, and 12th 

graders has declined by 49 percent, 

36 percent, and 26 percent, respec- 

tively. Understanding the complexity 

of this issue, this year’s award 

recipients joined the Century 

Council to combat drunk driving 

and underage drinking. 

Each of the attorneys general 

has participated in launching the 

Ask, Listen, Learn program in middle 

schools in his or her state, 

worked to strengthen laws dealing 

with drunk driving, and created 

public service announcements that 

ran statewide to encourage kids to 

say “Yes” to a healthy lifestyle and 

“No” to underage drinking.

S.D. Department of Tourism’s 

Macy’s parade efforts a success 

The South Dakota Department 

of Tourism’s message reached the 

eyes of more than 330 million people 

in November, thanks to various 

public relations tactics combined 

with the float, “Mount Rushmore’s 

American Pride,” which appeared 

in the nationally televised Macy’s 

Thanksgiving Day Parade. 

The department’s efforts began 

with a street team effort in New 

York City. Four mascots representing 

the faces of Mount Rushmore 

“You would be hard pressed to 

find individuals who have worked 

harder to fight drunk driving and 

underage drinking,” said Ralph 

Blackman, president of the Century 

Council. “Each one of them 

has been a tireless advocate for the 

citizens of their states.” 

The Century Council is a not-forprofit 

organization funded by distillers. 

Through legislation, education 

and public awareness campaigns, 

the council promotes responsible 

decision making regarding 

alcohol. 

National Memorial made stops at 

several iconic New York sites, 

which generated excitement and 

attention from bystanders. 

To complement the street team 

effort, the department of tourism 

staff handed out collateral material 

which encouraged recipients to register 

for a chance to win a South 

Dakota vacation. The giveaway, 

which ended December 16, garnered 

10,362 entrants. 

The final element of the Macy’s 

efforts was the Thanksgiving Day 

parade itself, which included the 

South Dakota float, “Mount Rushmore’s 

American Pride,” and featured 

Neil Diamond singing 

“America” for NBC’s telecast of the 

parade 

Parade efforts statistics 

Parade audience – 63.5 million; 

live – 3.5 million; NBC – 50 million; 

CBS – 10 million 

Unique page views on TravelSD.com/Macys 

were up 695% 

from November 19 through December 

1, 2011, over the same time period 

in 2010. 

Direct earned media in November 

– 207 clips (broadcast, print 

and online); audience – 271 million 

people; publicity value – 

$860,000+; social media – 2,075 

mentions across eight social media 

channels 

A video summary of the Macy’s 

efforts has been compiled, and is 

available at http://youtu.be/8mAiBvkHsTg. 

November 2012 will be 

the third and final year of the contract 

between South Dakota 

Tourism and the Macy’s Thanksgiving 

Day Parade. 


of Tourism is comprised of 

Tourism, the South Dakota Arts 

Council, and the South Dakota 

State Historical Society. The department

Pesticide Applicator 

Re-certification Meetings 


of Agriculture and SDSU Extension 

are getting geared up to offer 

both Private Pesticide Applicator 

Certification-Re-certification 

meetings; and Commercial Pesticide 

Applicator Re-certification 

Meetings across the state. As mentioned 

in last weeks’ column, the 

list of Private Applicator Certification 

Meetings in South Dakota can 

be found on the SDSU website: 

http://www.sdstate.edu/ ps/extension/pat/pat-county-dates.cfm. 

Commercial Pesticide Applicators 

across South Dakota have 

been receiving postcards notifying 

them if they need to be re-certified, 

and listing the website they need 

to visit to register for one of the 

classes. The Commercial PAT Recertification 

Meetings are listed on 

the S.D. Dept. of Ag website: 

https://apps.sd.gov/doa/ecat3/ApplicatorMeetingPrograms.htm. 

The schedule starts January 4 

with a series of meetings offering 

re-certification in some of the

Composting 

By Elke Baxter 

Composting carries out part of 

the earth's biological cycle of 

growth and decay. When plants 

die they become the raw materials 

for the composting process. Microorganisms, 

fungi, insects, 

worms, mites and other creatures 

convert the carbon from dead 

plants into energy for their own 

growth, eventually recycling themselves 

back into the process. The 

remaining material from this 

process is similar to soil organic 

matter which holds water and nutrients 

in the soil, making the soil 

more porous and easier to work 

with. 

There are basically two ways of 

composting: Hot (or fast composting) 

and Cold (or slow) composting. 

The key to hot compost is the 

right balance of food, water and air 

in the compost pile to favor the 

growth of heat loving microorganisms 

in which a compost pile heats 

up to between 120 and 150 degrees. 

At this temperature both 

diseases and weeds seeds are 

killed. Once the hot phase is complete, 

the lower temperature microorganisms, 

like worms and insects 

complete the decay process. 

Necessary ingredients for a hot 

compost pile are energy or green 

materials, those of high moisture, 

low porosity and high nitrogen. 

This group includes grass clippings, 

fresh manure, kitchen 

wastes, coffee grounds and garden 

trimmings. The other ingredient is 

bulking or brown agents, those of 

low moisture, high porosity and 

low nitrogen. This list includes 

wood chips or sawdust,shredded 

paper, pine needles, hay, straw 

and corn stalks. 

Particle size also matters in a 

compost pile, as small particles 

decay much quicker than larger 

ones. A hot compost pile requires a 

relatively uniform particle size of 

1/8” to 1/2” diameter. The proper 

ratio of necessary products is 1 

part nitrogen (energy or green materials) 

to two parts carbon (bulking 

or brown materials), also including 

water and oxygen. If all 

materials are on hand at the same 

Control, Public Health, and Wood 

Preservative. These meetings will 

be hosted from one of the sites, 

with moderators at several sites 

across the state which will connect 

with the presenters via interactive 

audio-video conferencing. 

Re-certification meetings for the 

major agriculture categories, in 

which most of the commercial applicators 

in South Dakota are certified, 

are being held in selected 

sites from January 19 to February 

6, all in person. 

Re-certification meetings via interactive 

audio-video conferencing 

in the minor categories resume 

February 7, 8 and 13, in Grain Fumigation, 

Rodent & Bird/Predator, 

and a second session for Forest/Ornamental 

& Turf. The SDSU Regional 

Extension Center in Winner 

will be one of several locations 

across the state where re-certification 

meetings in the minor categories 

will be offered via audiovideo 

conferencing. 

On the website listed above, 

each meeting has a link “Agenda”, 

which contains a schedule for the 

meeting, a link where you can register 

for the meeting location of 

your choice, addresses for each 

time, mix them thoroughly and 

water them to be nice and moist 

but not wet (you should not be able 

to squeeze water out of it). 

The pile can be placed simply on 

the ground or in a well aerated bin 

of sorts but should be at least 

3'x3'x3' in size. A larger pile will 

heat up better. Remember to turn 

the pile regularly since only the 

center becomes very hot, while the 

edge materials remain much 

cooler. In our climate you will most 

likely have to water your pile on 

occasion, but do cover the pile during 

rain to keep it from becoming 

too wet. Turn weekly for proper 

aeration. The pile should stay hot 

for several weeks up to a month. 

At that point it will have shrunk to 

about one-half its original size. It 

then needs to sit for another four 

to eight weeks to cure. You have 

ready to use compost when at least 

eight weeks have passed since you 

started the pile, it no longer heats

Winter Watering of Woody 

Plants 

With the dry fall and warm temperatures 

across South Dakota, 

John Ball, SDSU Extension 

Forester has been getting questions 

about watering trees and 

shrubs, which is not a normal 

practice in December. In general, 

he explains that watering this 

time of year is not highly needed, 

and not very effective. It’s generally 

better for them to enter the 

winter well watered. 

There are cases, when evergreen 

trees and shrubs are located on the 

south side of homes or buildings, 

the soils are not frozen, and air 

temperatures are above 40 degrees 

F, mid-day watering can be helpful. 

For more information, visit the 

12/15 issue of John’s Pest Alert at: 

http://sdda.sd.gov/ Forestry/educational-information/pestalertarchives.aspx. 

up when turned and the material 

looks dark, crumbly and smells 

like good soil. 

Cold compost on the other hand 

happens when the ideal conditions 

for a hot compost pile are not met 

by either the wrong ratio of materials, 

inadequate air, water or 

quantity of materials. The materials 

will decay slowly, perhaps taking 

a year or two to completely 

decay. It's also cooler and will 

therefore NOT kill weed seeds or 

pathogens (diseases). Shredding 

any woody materials will help to 

speed up the process. 

Use your finished compost to 

amend the soil in your garden by 

mixing 1” to 2” into the soil before 

planting vegetables, flowers, lawn 

or cover crop. You can also mulch 

with your compost by applying it 

on top of soil in early summer after 

plants are established and the soil 

has warmed. Later in the year you 

can work the mulch into the soil. 

Santa and Mrs. Claus at the theater ... Hana Crowser temporarily 

forgot about the candy cane, in her fascination with jolly ol’ Saint Nick. 

Mulch will help to control weeds, 

hold in moisture, conserve water 

and protect soil from erosion. If 

you mulch perennial plantings it's 

best to use compost make from 

woody bulking agents because it 

will decompose slower, resists 

compaction and slows weed establishment. 

Winter composting: Frozen compost 

obviously only sits there for 

the winter months, so if you don't 

want to waste time and have a 

spot that won't freeze in your basement 

or garage consider using a 

large trash can lined with a heavy 

duty trash bag indoors. Add about 

two gallons of garden soil or finished 

compost, then simply add 

your daily kitchen scraps, shake 

the whole thing slightly to mix it 

and get a jump on spring. 

Trouble shooting: 

What if hot compost isn't hot? 

If pile is dry, add moisture 

If pile is too wet, add more bulking 

agents or cover the pile. 

If pile smells fouls, try turning it 

more often or add more bulking 

agents to increase amount of oxygen. 

Remember that any compost 

pile will eventually decay, even if 

it doesn't heat. 

Health & Safety issues: 

Weed seeds? Do keep diseased 

plants and seed heads (especially 

weeds) out of the compost pile. 

Avoid products which decay very 

slowly, like cedar or large woody 

items. To be on the safe side, discard 

or burn any diseased plant 

material at the end of the season 

rather than composting it. 

Fire? A compost pile will only ignite 

if it has a very hot zone next 

to a dry zone. Fires do not start in 

small or moist piles. 

Manure? Avoid fresh animal 

manure in compost designated for 

garden crops which are to be used 

fresh, because it can contain disease 

organisms. Never use dog, cat 

or pig manure due to potential parasites. 

Never add meat or fats to 

your compost pile either. 

Herbicides? They can be a problem 

in your compost pile. Read the 

product label – some herbicides 

stay active for months or longer. 

When in doubt, let the pile sit for 

a year or longer. If you have lawn 

clippings which have been treated, 

leave them as a mulch layer on 

your lawn instead of putting them 

in your compost. 

Composting kitchen scraps: 

If your compost pile attracts rodents, 

you might want to consider 

a worm bin instead. Products 

which can be recycled in a worm 

bin include fruit and veggie peels, 

grains, pasta, baked goods, coffee 

grounds and filters. Don't add 

meat products. Worm bins need to 

be temperature and moisture controlled. 

Bin sizes vary – a box 

1'x2'x3' would hold about two 

pounds of worms and can handle 

about six pounds of kitchen wastes 

per week, which is about average 

for a family of four to six. You will 

have to use one of two varieties of 

red worms for your box. Earthworms 

will not survive in a worm 

box. 

Another way to build a planting 

bed and compost at the same time 

is by LASAGNA gardening. 

More on it another time.

December 20, my grandson-inlaw, 

Amaara Duinkherjav, brought 

the children, Tiger, three, and Cecelia, 

one, over for lunch. They 

brought along a couple of train engines 

and cars to play with. Plus, I 

keep a ball under the table in case 

kids come. We went up on third 

floor of Somerset Court and walked 

a lap. Kids needed to run. We 

stopped at Grandma’s Attic and 

the kids rode the rocking horse and 

we took photos. We played a little 

pool and Tiger won the game. 

Their mom, Sheridan, was having 

a party. 

Somerset Court had Tuesday afternoon 

bingo. Thank you for the 

entertainment. Following bingo, 

we had snack and chat and the 

treats were rice krispie bars. 

Flossie knows Jeannette Burnett, 

Philip, and also Gloria French. 

Tuesday, I got a card from Philip 

High School classmate of 1937, 

Harry Lee Brown, Mayfield 

Heights, Ohio. Thanks to my 

daughter, Vinnie Hansen and her 

husband, Danny Friedmann, who 

sent a Christmas card and letter. 

They had some nice trips in 2011 

to Cuba and Washington, D.C. and 

to Seattle and Bellingham, Wash. 

December 22, the Somerset 

Court Wii bowling was enjoyed. In 

the afternoon we had bingo. New 

residents were honored at our reception 

and they included Marcella 

Hit & Miss 

Kraft, Jerald Muzzy, Verda Maxson 

and Flossie Albright. Treats for 

snack and chat were strawberry 

cupcakes. Thank you, Sandy, 

Shawn and Somerset Court. Several 

people have found the spider 

in the big Christmas tree and have 

received Somerset Court bucks. 

Clue: The spider is sort of golden 

with a jeweled body, and is about 

six feet off from the floor. 

Google has definitions for sockdolager 

– a sudden and decisive 

blow. In my childhood, we said 

“ring-tailed doodler-sockdolager.” 

Maybe Mark Twain used that word 

too. 

Kent and Brian Hagg had lunch 

at Somerset Court Thursday with 

their mother, Mary Hagg. Remember 

the Canadian holiday, boxing 

day, December 26. Box up all the 

stuff you got for Christmas that 

you don’t like, or maybe you got a 

new one and want to part with the 

old one, and put it on your 

doorstep. It is like a garage sale, 

except you give the stuff away. The 

Rapid City Public Library homebound 

program brought me five 

books today, “The Litigators” 

(2011) by John Grisham, “Steve 

Jobs” by Walter Isaacson, (2011), 

“The Sibling Effect – What the 

Bonds Among Brothers and Sisters 

Reveal About Us” by Jeffrey Klugger 

(2011) and “A Book of 100 Selected 

Poems” by E.E. Cummings 

and “You Come, Too” a book of 

poems by Robert Frost. 

Merry Christmas to all of you at 

Pioneer Review. Merry Christmas 

and thank you Darlene Baye, 

Philip, for the nice Christmas gift, 

card and letter. Merry Christmas 

and thank you Kay Ainslie, Philip, 

for your card and family newsletter. 

Thursday, a group from the 

Cathedral Children’s Choir came 

to sing for us at Somerset Court.

Greetings from partly sunny, 

warm, wind-free, mostly snow-free 

northeast Haakon County! This 

weather is unbelievable, and I'm 

enjoying every bit of it. And on top 

of that, the days are getting 

longer – life is good! 

I hope all of you had a wonderful 

Christmas with family and friends. 

It was great traveling weather, 

with no hint of snow or ice. And 

speaking of no ice, it sounds as if 

the annual New Year's Day ice 

skating party at Lee and Mary 

Briggs' will not be held this year 

due to the lack of ice. I haven't 

heard yet if the event will be 

rescheduled. The temperature will 

have to dip quite a bit for that to 

happen, but I have no doubt that 

we have colder weather in our future. 

There was good news regarding 

babies in the community this week. 

Adam and Jodi Roseth's infant 

son, Kam, had successful surgery 

early last week, and he and Jodi 

were able to return home Friday, 

just in time for Christmas! And 

Mark and Cheryl (Beckwith) 

Ulmen's daughter, Charli, continues 

to do well. She started off a bit 

small, but she is gaining weight 

and they hope to be able to bring 

her home around the first of the 

year. Such great news! 

Condolences to Aunt Ruth 

Neuhauser and Marge Briggs. 

Ruth's sister and Marge's sister-inlaw, 

Velma (Briggs) Bishop, passed 

away recently in Portland, Ore. 

Velma was born and raised here on 

Robbs Flat. She and her husband, 

Sherman, have three daughters 

and several grandchildren. Velma 

was a nurse in the Army, and she 

worked in several veteran's hospitals. 

She was buried in a military 

cemetery with military honors. 

Velma was 91 years old. 

Ruth Neuhauser had a visit last 

week from Bob Anderson. Bob 

worked for the Neuhausers years 

ago, and he now lives in Colorado. 

He spent the night at the ranch 

with Kevin and had lunch in Pierre 

with Kevin and his family. He 

stopped to visit Ruth in Highmore 

on his way to visit family in the 

Langford area. Ruth's son, Kevin, 

and family spent part of Christmas

Eve with her. Ruth is enjoying receiving 

Christmas cards. 

Duane and Lola Roseth and son 

Rhett were Christmas Eve guests 

at the home of Clark and Carmen 

Alleman. Christmas Day, Duane 

and Lola hosted their children and 

spouses along with the Klima relatives, 

including Lola's mother, Joy, 

and Lola's sister, Linda Smith, 

Linda's husband, Larry, and their 

daughters and families. Several of 

the guests enjoyed some pheasant 

hunting near Philip on their way 

back home Monday. 

T.J. and Jeanine Gabriel and 

children were Friday supper guests 

at Billy and Arlyne Markwed's. 

Jeanine and children went to 

Spearfish Christmas Day to visit 

Jeanine's parents. T.J. stayed 

home to babysit cattle – they have 

some heifers that are very close to 

calving. This nice weather and the 

new barn will make calving season 

much easier this year for T.J. and 

Jeanine! 

Billy and Arlyne were blessed 

with lots of family during the 

Christmas holiday. Thursday, they 

went to Pierre to pick up their 

daughter, Kim. Kim and her husband, 

Jeff Marso, had come from 

their home in Missoula – Jeff 

stayed in town for a couple of days 

to visit his family. Friday, Kim's 

sons, Trent, Aberdeen, and Todd, 

Fargo, arrived at the Markwed 

ranch, along with Tate Gabriel, 

Clint and Jenna Bresee, and Cindy 

(Markwed) and Bruce Bresee. 

Brian Stapert was also a visitor at 

the ranch Friday. Brian grew up in 

our neighborhood, the son of Bud 

and Joyce Stapert, and now lives in 

Belle Fourche. T.J. Gabriel and 

family joined the group for supper 

Friday. Saturday, Danny Kurtz 

and friend, Shawn, Aberdeen, and 

Jeff Marso and boys joined the 

group to celebrate Christmas Eve. 

Christmas Day, dinner guests were 

Trent Kurtz, Danny Kurtz and 

Shawn, T.J. Gabriel, and Aunt 

Alice Jeitz. Monday, Kim and Jeff 

Marso and boys had lunch with 

Billy and Arlyne enroute back to 

their home in Missoula. 

Dick and Gene Hudson had 

Christmas dinner at the home of 

Gary and Deb Snook near Midland. 

Part of Dick and Gene's Christmas 

season plans were cancelled while 

Dick recovered from the flu – there 

sure has been a lot of that going 

around. I am glad to report that he 

is feeling much better now. Deb 

(Hudson) Burma and family are arriving 

this week from their home in 

Columbus, Neb., to spend part of 

the Christmas break at the ranch. 

Jon and Connie Johnson and 

sons traveled to Wheaton, Minn., to 

spend Christmas with Jon's mother

tractor fire. Unfortunately, the 

tractor was a complete loss, but 

thankfully the fire didn't spread to 

the shop or the pasture. It was a 

fairly windy day, so it could have 

been much worse. The tractor will 

be missed, because even though it 

was an older tractor, it was still 

doing its job (like a lot of us "older" 

models). Christmas Eve guests at 

Briggs' were Keva and Adam Joens 

and boys. Christmas Day, guests at 

Lee and Mary's were Rea Riggle 

and family, Cole Briggs and daughter, 

Erin, Vicki Johnson, and Lil 

Briggs. Roger and Kathy Petersen 

also stopped by for a visit. Keva 

and Adam Joens spent Christmas 

Day with Joens’ relatives near 

Eagle Butte. Cattebrie Riggle was 

at the ranch helping Grandma 

Mary with projects Monday. 

Nels and Dorothy Paulson were 

in Pierre on business last Tuesday. 

Wednesday they were in Midland 

getting new tractor tires. Christmas 

Eve, they joined their friends, 

Dale and Myrna Hartmann, and 

their extended family for supper. 

Christmas Day, Nels and Dorothy 

traveled to the Murdo area to 

spend the day with Kenny and 

Robin Stoner and their children, 

Cole and Heather, and Cole's 

friend, Holly. Heather works in 

Wall, and Cole works in Arizona. 

Good news from the Stoners. 

Leo Stoner had been a resident of 

the Golden Living Center in Pierre 

following a stroke, but he is now 

able to live at home. Leo and Mary 

Ann have a person who helps with 

Leo's care, along with home health 

personnel and physical therapy. Although 

Leo was comfortable in 

Pierre, I'll bet being home is even 

better! I hope things continue to go 

well for Leo and Mary Ann! 

Coreen and Julian Roseth, Nick 

Roseth, and Adam and Jodi Roseth 

and sons were Christmas Eve 

guests at the home of Clark and 

Carmen Alleman. Christmas Day 

guests at Julian and Coreen's were 

their sons, Nick, and son, Adam, 

Jodi and boys, and Jodi's mother, 

Terri. 

Clark and Carmen Alleman were 

in Pierre Thursday to attend 

granddaughter Morgan's school 

Christmas program. Friday, they 

hosted the Alleman family Christmas 

celebration. Saturday, Clark 

and Carmen entertained the 

Roseth side of the family for Christmas 

Eve lunch. Christmas Day, 

Clark and Carmen spent the day 

with Roy Roseth in Philip. Carmen 

took her father a home-cooked 

meal – I'll bet that was a very welcome 

Christmas treat! Granddaughter 

Morgan is spending her 

Christmas vacation at the ranch 

with Clark and Carmen, and it 

sounds like they have lots of interesting 

projects in the works. 

Ron and Helen Beckwith's 

daughter, Lori, came last Tuesday 

to spend the Christmas holidays 

with her parents. Christmas Day 

guests at Ron and Helen's also included 

Rose and Levi Briggs and 

children and Gary and Ann Beckwith. 

Ron and Helen's daughter, 

Cheryl, and her husband, Marc, 

and family spent Christmas in 

Sioux Falls with their new baby, 

Charli. Marc's sister, Michelle, 

lives in Sioux Falls, so she hosted 

the group. 

Ray and Nancy Neuhauser 

helped Craig Neuhauser celebrate 

his birthday Thursday by having 

Craig and his sons, Luke and 

Dylan, as supper guests. Friday, 

Leanne Neuhauser stopped by to 

drop off Christmas gifts. Later Friday 

evening, Nancy's daughter, 

Sandi, Ree Heights, arrived. Sandi 

and her family (five children and 

four grandchildren) spent Christmas 

Eve and Christmas with Ray 

and Nancy. The group had a scavenger 

hunt, attended candlelight 

services, and enjoyed a visit from 

Santa. Christmas Day, Christmas 

dinner was followed by a Wii con- 

e ! 

on items located 

at 160 S. Center 

Ave. (former 

K-gee’s Building) 

test. Sounds like the group had a 

good time. Sandi experienced some 

car trouble, so she got to stay an 

extra day. 

I didn't get to visit with Bill and 

Polly Bruce, but I know their family 

Christmas gathering is taking 

place later this week. 

Clint and Laura Alleman attended 

the Alleman family Christmas 

gathering and the Roseth 

Christmas gathering at Clark and 

Carmen Alleman's. Christmas 

morning, little Alivya was standing 

in her crib (a new trick), ready for 

her first Christmas! They spent the 

day at home. They will celebrate 

Christmas with the Yost family 

later this week. 

Frank and Shirley Halligan, son 

Murdock and family, daughter 

Maggie, and Grandpa Ken Halligan 

celebrated the holidays at 

Frank and Shirley's home in Ft. 

Pierre. Frank had his gallbladder 

removed earlier in the week, and 

he is feeling much better. 

Max and Joyce Jones had a full 

week of family and fun. Their 

grandsons from Onida, Zack and 

Tommy, arrived Wednesday. They 

got to attend country school with 

cousins, Luke and Mattie, for part 

of a day, then the cousins spent the 

afternoon decorating Christmas 

cookies at Grandma Joyce's home. 

Thursday, the group went to Pierre 

to celebrate Zack's ninth birthday 

at a swimming party, followed by 

cake and ice cream at the home of 

Zack's aunt, Steph Judson. Max 

and Joyce stayed home Saturday – 

Joyce said everyone has been taking 

turns being sick, and when I 

talked to Joyce, it sounded like it 

was her turn. Christmas Day, son 

Todd and family and daughter Kim 

and family were at the ranch to celebrate 

the holiday. I hope everyone 

is feeling better by now. 

Kevin and Mary Neuhauser 

spent Christmas Eve in Highmore 

with Ruth Neuhauser, coming back 

to Ft. Pierre in time for Mass. They 

then came to the ranch for Christmas. 

All three children were home 

for the holidays. 

Marge Briggs was in Spearfish 

at the home of her daughter, Janet, 

Christmas Day. Other guests included 

Ed Briggs and son Casey, 

Lynn Briggs, Rochelle Riter and 

friend, and Janet's friend, Larry. 

Marge said Janet is making rugs 

out of denim, so several of the 

guests got to help with that project. 

Marge also said Janet had pickled 

beans and carrots, which were delicious. 

Our Christmas celebration 

started Friday, when our daughter, 

Lori, flew in for the holidays. While 

I was in Pierre waiting for her 

plane to arrive, I dropped off gifts 

at Ray and Nancy Neuhauser's 

home and at Craig Neuhauser's 

home. I also had time for a short 

visit with Janice Neuhauser. Saturday 

evening, Keva (Briggs) Joens 

stopped by for a visit – Keva and 

Lori were classmates from kindergarten 

through high school graduation. 

Christmas Day, Jen and 

Ross Tschetter arrived, as did 

Chelsea Neuhauser. Later Christmas 

Day, my mother, Letoy Brown, 

Kadoka, along with my sister, Ellie 

Bettelyoun, and children arrived 

and spent the night. We had a wonderful 

time, and it was nice to not 

worry about bad weather or bad 

roads – such a blessing! 

Our daughters and son-in-law 

are still here, so I've been rushing 

through the news. I apologize in 

advance for any omissions or inaccuracies, 

but I need to get back to 

spending time with my family! 

There are so many things to be 

grateful for during this wonderful 

season, but one oddball thing keeps 

sticking in my mind – I am grateful 

for my blow dryer. I use it to dry 

my hair, of course, but in the last 

couple of weeks I have used it as I 

applied plastic to drafty windows 

at an older house at the Towne 

place, I used it to help defrost a 

deep freeze, I have used it in the 

past to thaw a frozen lock on an icecovered 

vehicle, I use it to dust intricate 

objects, I've used it to dry 

out damp boots – and the list goes 

on. This blow dryer has to be at 

least 15 years old, and it is still 

going strong! Sometimes it is the 

simple things that make our lives 

easier. 

I hope you had a wonderful 

Christmas, and I wish you all a 

healthy, happy New Year! Enjoy 

your week, and be safe!

Joan Patterson 

Joan Patterson, age 70, of 

Kadoka, S.D., died Sunday, December 

25, 2011, at the Hans P. Peterson 

Memorial Hospital in Philip. 

Joan Dorthy Miller was born on 

May 17, 1941, in Jud, N.D., a 

daughter to Theodore and Lorraine 

(Jerke) Miller. She started school 

with German as her first language 

and was learning English as she 

attended school in Ellendale, 

Edgely, and Kulm, N.D., among 

others, and finished with her 

schooling with graduation in 1959 

in Philip. 

As a young girl, she cared for her 

brother and sister and younger 

cousins. She learned in those years 

to become an amazing cook and 

caretaker. She worked at the 

Senechal Hotel where she met 

Jerry Patterson. They were married 

on March 24, 1966, in Philip, 

when she became mother to a 

ready-made family of six children. 

She and Jerry were later blessed 

with two daughters. 

She loved to be with her family 

and especially loved to go out to the 

field and check the wheat with 

Jerry. She helped with everything 

on the farm and enjoyed taking 

meals out to the field during harvest. 

In her later years, she would 

decorate for every holiday with 

Duane C. Olson 

Duane C. Olson, age 85 of 

Kadoka, S.D., died Wednesday, December 

21, 2011, at the Hans P. Peterson 

Memorial Hospital in Philip. 

Duane Calvin Olson was born 

November 4, 1926, at Pukwana, 

the son of Carl J. and Alice (Smith) 

Olson. He joined a family of two 

older brothers, Gene and Wilbur, 

and an older sister, Darlene, and 

later a younger brother, Robert, 

and younger sister, Shirley. 

Duane attended Cleveland 

Township grade school near Pukwana. 

He then attended two years 

of high school at Pukwana before 

graduating from Chamberlain 

High School. Duane loved baseball 

and played for the Pukwana Kings 

and Chamberlain baseball teams. 

He was known as the famous left 

handed pitcher. He played during 

high school and after he returned 

from the United States Army. 

Duane was also a Golden Gloves 

boxer. 

Duane decided to forgo a minor 

league baseball career to serve his 

country. Shortly after graduation, 

he joined the Army during World 

War II. He served at Ft. Riley in 

Kansas, before being stationed in 

Texas. While in Texas during a 

training drill, a bayonet was run 

through his left ring finger. His 

final duty station was at Fort Andrews 

located at Peddocks Island 

near Boston, Mass. He was part of 

the horse riding unit for the Army 

and was one of the best skilled riders 

in the unit. It was there he met 

the loved of his life, Dorothy Joan 

Silva. They spent his days off 

teaching Dottie to ride a horse on 

the sand along the beach at Peddocks 

Island. 

After completing his service of 

duty, Duane and Dottie were 

united in marriage at Cambridge, 

Mass., on November 6, 1949, and to 

this union were born three daughters, 

Deborah, Diane and Donna. 

They moved back to South Dakota 

and lived on the Olson Ranch near 

Chamberlain for a few months. 

From there they moved to Midland,

Christmas time being her favorite. 

She and her sister, her best friend, 

would sit in the kitchen and wrap 

Christmas presents while drinking 

Coke and eating chocolate covered 

cherries. They would sit for hours 

speaking German about the gifts 

they were wrapping, and every little 

while they would laugh because 

they knew the kids didn't understand. 

Her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren 

were her greatest 

joy and they all wanted to sit with 

"Gammy" and read stories. She 

truly loved homemaking and taking 

care of her family. 

Blessed with sharing her life are 

her husband, Jerry Patterson; 

eight children, Robert Patterson, 

Sharon Bebout of Las Vegas, Nev., 

Grant (Susan) Patterson, Scott 

(Arla) Patterson, Cindy (Mark) 

VanderMay, Tammy (Mark) Carlson, 

Lisa Patterson and April 

Wheat Patterson, all of Kadoka. 

She also had 26 grandchildren, 17 

great-grandchildren, extended 

family and many, many friends. 

Joan was preceded in death by 

her parents; one brother, DeWayne 

Miller; and two sisters, Carlyn 

Williams and Inis Iris Miller as an 

infant. 

Visitation will be held from 4:00 

to 7:00 p.m. Thursday, December 

where they ranched for over 30 

years. Duane took great pride in 

this ranch and whenever someone 

came to visit he had to take them 

for a drive to look over the place 

and his cattle. 

In 1987, Duane and Dottie 

moved to Kadoka where he purchased 

and took over the George 

Olson ranch south of Kadoka. 

Duane ran this place until health 

issues in May of 2005. Duane was 

a resident at Philip Nursing Home 

at the time of his death. 

Duane is survived by his three 

daughters and their families, Deborah 

and Mitch Olney and their 

children, Duane, Rebecca, Chase 

and Kevin; Diane Huber and her 

husband, Scott, and their daughter, 

Fallon; and Donna Enders and 

her husband, Chuck, and their children, 

Amanda, Wyatt and Dustin, 

all of Kadoka; three great-grandchildren, 

Aspen, Dane and Jaedyn; 

one brother, Gene Olson and his 

wife, Alice, of Oacoma; a sister-inlaw, 

Olivia Hayes of Hookset, N.H.; 

many nieces and nephews; and a 

host of other relatives and friends. 

Duane was preceded in death by 

his wife, Dorothy Joan “Dottie” 

Olson, on June 19, 2005; his parents, 

Carl and Alice Olson; his 

brothers, Wilbur and Robert Olson; 

and two sisters, Darlene Dozark 

and Shirley Schmidt.

Marjorie P. Reynolds 

Marjorie P. Reynolds, age 91 of 

Interior, S.D., died Saturday, December 

24, 2011, at the Clarkson 

Mt. View Healthcare Facility in 

Rapid City, surrounded by her family. 

Marjorie Bevis was born November 

9, 1920, at Kearney, Neb., the 

daughter of Leslie F. and Flora J. 

It's time to take stock of what 

transpired during the year of 2011 

and look forward to 2012. May 

everyone experience the anticipation 

of the new year with excited 

expectations of things yet to come. 

We can't predict the future, nor live 

in the past, but only rejoice in each 

day as it unfolds. Happy New Year! 

“Stories and Recipes of the Great 

Depression of the 1930s”, volume 

III, has me captivated by the stories. 

Does history repeat itself? 

Here in South Dakota they were referred 

to as the “Dirty Thirtys” but 

if you ask someone born and raised 

on the West Coast, they quite often 

had never heard of it. 

“The Great Depression was a 

world-wide phenomenon caused, in 

part, by maldistribution, as stated 

in Current History, 1932. There 

was no shortage of supplies, but 

there was a shortage of consumption. 

The rich saved and didn't consume 

and the middle and poor 

classes were not able to buy. Soon 

the middle class was reduced to the 

poor.... Big business was blamed 

for hard times and as banks closed, 

bankers and board members were 

suspected of mishandling funds 

and some were tried for fraud. 

The Great Depression was more 

than that, it was also the great discouragement, 

the great despondency, 

and the great despair at a 

national level.” As our nation 

struggles to stand upright against 

the deficit that continues to climb 

as well as reducing the middle and 

poor class to all poor with the high 

price of fuel which in turn raises 

the cost of consumable items, we 

need to regain perspective and 

faith and control. May the year 

2012 be that time.

HEAVEN IS BETTER THAN THIS 

by Cornelius R. Stam 

A large percentage of the people of the world wake up every morning 

with some kind of ache or pain. If you are one of the many victims, with 

some infirmity of the flesh, perhaps you will agree with the little chorus 

which says: "Heaven is better than this." 

The Scriptures tell us that "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now" (Rom. 

8:22). Note the expression: "the whole creation." This takes in the whole world; no one is excluded. Indeed, the 

very next verse goes on to say to Christian believers: 

"And not only they, but ourselves also... even we ourselves groan within ourselves... waiting for... the redemption 

of our body." 

No doubt many of us feel like crying out with the Psalmist David, "Look upon mine affliction and my pain" 

(Psa. 25:18). In spite of all sorrow, trouble and pain which the child of God must endure, however, he can be 

assured with the Apostle Paul that: "our light affliction, which is but for a moment [comparatively], worketh 

for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" (II Cor. 4:17). When we go to be with the Lord we will 

no longer be living in "this earthly tabernacle," but will have "a building of God, an house not made with hands, 

eternal in the heavens" (II Cor. 5:1). Paul even adds that as Christians we earnestly desire "to be clothed upon 

with our house [our new body] which is from heaven" (II Cor. 5:2). 

Finally, St. Paul declared that "to depart, and to be with Christ... is far better" (Phil. 1:23); far better, not only 

than all earth's sorrow and trouble and pain, but far better even than earth's greatest joys and its dearest treasures. 

How wonderful it is to know that "Christ died for our sins," to have a light beyond the grave, a hope 

beyond the tomb! Surely "heaven is better than this!"

Well folks, I am not sure how the 

news this week is going to go! I had 

it written up and mostly done, hit 

a wrong button and lost everything 

I had written. It is 7:45 p.m. and I

it. But, will give it a try! Good thing 

it is not the New Year as yet, it 

wouldn’t be starting off on the best 

note.

An ear to the ground 

by Walt Bones 

S.D. Secretary of Ag 

It was about this time last year 

when I was contacted by a member 

of the governor’s search committee 

and asked if I would be interested 

in serving South Dakota’s Agriculture 

industry. I recognized the unbelievable 

opportunity but I also 

realized what a life changing commitment 

this would be. 

When the governor’s chief of staff 

asked me to send him a resume, I 

had to scramble. Working on our 

farm has been my career. 

Accepting this full-time position 

came with a lot of soul searching 

and a lot of support from my wife 

and family. I knew this meant 

being away from our farm during 

calving, planting, harvesting and 

away from a group of people that 

I’d worked with every day for the 

last 40 years. 

But that is what we do here in 

South Dakota and in agriculture. 

Everywhere I go I meet producers 

that give of their time to serve 

in elected or volunteer positions – 

county commissions, township 

boards, water boards, church 

boards, the S.D. Brand Board, the 

S.D. State Fair Commission, animal 

industry board, commodity 

and farm organizations, the local 

cooperative board, the legislature – 

the list goes on and on. I don’t know 

if anyone keeps a tally on all the 

hours spent and if you’re lucky you 

might get a small stipend and your 

mileage paid. Meanwhile, all of you 

are taking time away from your 

families and operations, giving 

input and support to ideas and programs 

that make our industry, our 

state and our nation a better place 

to live. 

We must continue to stay engaged 

as our industry continues to 

evolve. If we are not at the table we 

are probably on the menu. 

Maintaining the status quo is not 

an option with a world population 

that continues to grow. I thought 

the Center for Food Integrity put it 

very well, “If the number of farms 

and the level of productivity had 

remained constant since 1950, 

there would be no food for anyone 

in the following states: California, 

Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, 

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and 

Georgia.” These are the nine most 

populous U.S. states representing 

151 million people. 

You all are the ones responsible 

for making agriculture our state’s 

number one industry through not 

only your production skills, but 

also your willingness to serve. 

Without your vision, involvement 

and commitment the federal government 

would continue to run 

rampant with rules and “guidance.” 

As we pause to celebrate the 

birth of our Savior and the start of 

a new year, I would like to say 

thank you for all you do. It is an 

honor to serve and represent you 

all. Merry Christmas and best 

wishes for a safe and prosperous 

New Year!

Lincoln Smith earns 

national academic honor 

Northern State University, Aberdeen, 

senior defensive lineman 

Lincoln Smith has another accomplishment 

to add to his list of accolades, 

this time receiving national 

notice for his efforts off the gridiron. 

The Philip native was recently 

named to the Capital One/CoSIDA 

academic all-America first team, 

becoming just the seventh NSU 

athlete in any sport selected to the 

prestigious honor, and the second 

in the sport of football. 

Smith, a first team all-Northern 

Sun intercollegiate conference 

north division selection in 2011, 

was selected as one of four team 

captains by his teammates following 

his senior campaign. He was 

also an honorable mention all- 

NSIC pick as a junior. A three-year 

starter, Smith led the team in 

sacks with 3.0 for 23 yards in 2011. 

He finished the season with 31 

total stops, a forced fumble and a 

fumble recovery. 

The 6’3”, 225-pound Smith is a 

former multi-sport athlete from 

Philip, where he was an all-state 

football player and state champion 

wrestler. Smith has played in 40 

games over his NSU career, with 

28 starts, 113 tackles and 4.5 

sacks. 

Smith holds a 3.97 grade point 

average while majoring in management. 

The 26 members of the 2011 

Capital One academic all-America 

Division II football first team have 

a 3.84 average GPA. 

The CoSIDA academic teams are 

nominated by the sports information 

directors in eight districts 

across the nation. Previously a twodivision 

program, the academic all- 

America program expanded to four 

divisions in 2011-12 with studentathletes 

being honored separately 

Lincoln Smith 

in Division I, Division II and Division 

II with a fourth team (college 

division) being comprised of NAIA, 

Canadian and two-year institutions. 

Athletes are selected first to alldistrict 

teams by a voting process 

amongst CoSIDA members. First 

team selections then move on to 

the national ballot and are selected 

to the national teams by a committee 

of CoSIDA members and the association’s 

board of directors. The 

current list of CoSIDA academic 

all-America selections from NSU 

now include, 1989 – Stephanie 

Hengel, women's at‐large (track/ 

field), 1997 – Adrian Gosch, baseball, 

2001 – Charles Hermansen, 

football, 2001 – Kristie Gordy, 

women’s soccer, 2002 – Natalie 

Blodgett, women's soccer, 2003 – 

Kristin Peterson, women's track/ 

cross country, and 2011 – Lincoln 

Smith, football.

Country school search page added 

to state historical society website 

A recent addition to the South 

Dakota State Historical Society- 

Archives website is the South 

Dakota country school search page. 

The website is http://history.sd.gov 

/schools/HistoricalSchoolsSearch. 

aspx. 

“The project was made a reality 

thanks to support from the Minnehaha 

County Rural School Project, 

which funded the design and 

implementation of the website,” 

stated Chelle Somsen, State 

Archivist. “Currently, the search 

function only includes rural schools 

for Minnehaha County, but we are 

hoping that other counties will 

want to participate in this website.” 

The project began in 2005 by 

gathering information on rural 

schools in Minnehaha County and 

culminated in the publication of 

the book Rural Schools of Minnehaha 

County, 1871-1971 in 2008. 

Somsen said the State Historical 

Society-Archives got involved when 

she was contacted about adding 

rural schools to the state website 

by Celia J. Benson of Sioux Falls, 

project coordinator for the Minnehaha 

County project and author 

of the book. 

The website search function allows 

researchers to select a county 

or school name to search and the 

results will bring up the name of 

the school, a photograph of the 

school, the dates of the school’s existence, 

and its global positioning 

system coordinates. By clicking on 

the GPS coordinates, researchers 

will be able to locate the school on 

a map. 

Organizations that want to con- 

tribute content for the rural schools 

website should contact the State 

Historical Society-Archives at the 

Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre, 

for instructions. Call 773-3804 or 

visit http://history.sd.gov/archives.

12-72 Several members from the Deep 

Creek community approached the Board 

of Education asking for the possibility of 

looking at reopening the Deep Creek 

Rural Attendance Center for school year 

2012-2013. Connie Johnson presented 

the board with a list of students who 

would be attending if the center were to 

open. The list shows 5 students for the 

upcoming school year with a possible 9 

students by school year 2017-2018. Discussion 

took place regarding staffing, 

building condition, mileage, teacherage 

options and budget concerns. Members 

of the community asked the board that 

they consider making the decision now, 

rather than later. Some members of the 

board felt that waiting to see what the upcoming 

legislative session provides in 

state funding would be the best. Constituents 

asked that the board take responsibility 

for educating those students, 

rather than relying on Stanley County’s 

only rural school. Motion by Nelson, second 

by Thorson to table this decision until 

the budget committee can meet and the 

state aid numbers are finalized, with a decision 

to be made no later than the March 

2012 board meeting. All members voted 

aye with the exception of Blair, who was 

opposed to the motion. 

12-73 Motion by Radway, second by Nelson 

to approve a one-year contract with 

the Philip Geothermal Group. 

12-74 Motion by Blair, second by Radway 

to approve the following personnel contracts: 

Holly Schaack, Assistant Girls Basketball 

- $2,240.00. 

12-75 Bids were received and opened for 

the Ottumwa Mobile Unit. A bid for $500 

was received from Trudy Flesner, and a 

bid for $800 was received from Doug 

Gimpel. After discussion on estimated 

value and the condition of the building 

and the possibility of needing the unit in 

the event that the Deep Creek school 

were to open, a motion was made by 

Blair, seconded by Nelson to reject both 

bids. 

12-76 Supt. Morehart approached the 

Board with the possibility of purchasing a 

vehicle with Special Education funds. The 

vehicle would be primarily used by the 

Special Education department, but could 

be used for other travel if it was not in use 

by Special Ed. Travel other than Special 

Ed travel would be billed to the appropriate 

fund/club and would be paid to Special 

Ed at a rate of $.37 per mile. Research 

on cost of vehicles will be done 

and presented to the Board at a future 

meeting. 

12-77 Anita Peterson gave the BHSSC 

report. 

12-78 Motion by Blair, second by Radway 

to enter into executive session for personnel 

matters at 7:14 p.m. Meeting resumed 

at 7:29 p.m. Motion by Thorson, second 

by Blair to approve a payment of $500 to 

LaRae Carley for assuming additional duties 

in the absence of a staff member. 

12-79 Secondary Principal Jeff Rieckman 

reported on the following items: (A) Semester 

tests will be administered on December 

21st and 22nd. (B) Last day of 

the 1st Semester is January 5th. (C) Mrs.

date set for the 8th grade parent meeting

(E) Girls basketball will play in the Snowball 

Classic in Winner on December 27th. 

(F) Results of the BHSU Stock Market 

Game are in. Out of 205 teams, PHS had 

three teams in the top five. Congratulations 

to Shelby Schofield and Megan 

Williams for taking first place, Audra Antonsen 

and Misty Johnson for fourth 

place, and Tanner Radway and Jace 

Schofield for sixth place. The BHSU 

Stock Market game is used in Brigitte 

Brucklacher’s Personal Finance class. 

12-80 Superintendent Keven Morehart 

reported on the following items: (A) Attended 

the State Superintendent meeting 

in Chamberlain. (B) Evaluations are in 

progress. (C) Mrs. Bowen’s Christmas 

concerts were great! (D) The Milesville 

Christmas program will be held next 

week. (E) The surplused 1983 blue Ford 

pickup was sold to Warren (Chip) Walker

home with them and spent a few 

days with grandpa and grandma. 

Jim and Lana went to Carter, 

Camri and Rylan Elshere's (Ryan 

and Chrissy) school program December 

20. 

Many family members gathered 

Christmas Eve at Paul and Joy 

Elshere's for their annual celebration. 

Enjoying supper and the 

evening were their three sons, Jim 

and Lana, Tim and Judy and Andy 

and Donella. Their families included 

Ryan and Chrissy Elshere 

and family, J.J. and Lindsay 

Elshere and family, Shawn and 

Thamy Elshere, Casey, Rachelle 

and Ashlynn and Cole and Kami 

Elshere. Paul's two sisters, Phyllis 

Hanrahan and Linda and Don Conner

houseful and lots of fun! 

Earl and Jodi Parsons and girls 

spent part of the Christmas weekend 

in Highmore with Jodi's family, 

the McDonnells and the Bruinsmas. 

Rachel Parsons spent Thursday 

night at the Steve and Nina Pekron

Bill and Karyl spent both Christmas 

Eve and Christmas Day at 

Donnie and Tami Ravellette's with 

all of the Ravellette family and 

Monte Sandal, friend, Shari, and 

Monte's daughter, Matrix. Monday, 

December 19, Bill and Karyl attended 

the Wall junior high and 

high school Christmas concert. 

Grandchildren, Mason, Gabel and 

Ridge Sandal, were involved in 

that. 

Wade and Marcy Parsons and 

family were at Jim and Betty 

Smith's Christmas Eve. After

uncle, Jerry Reid, in Rapid City for 

a short visit. 

The Jim Stangle family spent 

Christmas Day at Jim's sister's 

home, Juanita Hughes, in Ft. 

Pierre. Sonny Stangle is living with 

the Hughes family and is improving. 

He's anxious to get back home 

to Milesville. 

Trevor and Christa Fitch and 

boys celebrated Christmas Eve at 

Burjes and Cheryl Fitch's and 

(continued on page 10)

(continued from page 5) 

back to school and Sherry to work. 

Ralph and Cathy did some errands 

and then returned home to Sturgis. 

Jessica Gittings and Daniel 

watched Kobie, Jason and T.J. 

Davis Tuesday. 

Tuesday was a quiet day. Tony 

Harty had coffee out with the fellows 

then visited his niece, Kathy 

Brown, and Dale Koehn in the 

evening. 

Because our team made up bowling 

last week, I was free as a bird 

Wednesday to get things done for 

Christmas, except for a couple of 

HCPT van runs. Early morning 

found me on the road to Philip. The 

roads were a little wet with evidence 

of light snow. Then it was off 

to Murdo, 40 miles to the east. 

More accumulation of snow by the 

time we made the round trip, but 

nothing too severe. As night approached, 

it would get much more 

serious with black ice. I visited at 

the Kadoka Care Center with 

Orville Sandall. Orville so enjoyed 

his airplane flight, but since having 

a stroke, he doesn't share the same 

excitement. I also enjoyed a visit 

with Harold Schnee. His room is 

getting more like home and his 

wife, Mary, had brought him a 

stuffed mule. On the wall is a million 

dollar picture of a four-horse 

hitch from the seat of a wagon with 

the badlands ahead of them. Spectacular! 

Emma Jarl is too fast on 

her feet for me to catch her, but 

next time. 

Sandee Gittings visited Jim 

Gottsleben and Jim Moriarty 

Wednesday afternoon. 

So much for retirement. Ralph 

Fiedler is back at it, he worked the 

evening shift at his new part-time 

job Thursday and Friday. Hmmm, 

Cathy didn't share with me what 

the new job is, but he did tend bar 

before they moved to Sturgis. 

Thursday morning, Tony had the 

drivers door on his vehicle frozen 

shut and when he leveraged it a 

bit, the window behind it shattered 

into thousands of pieces. After he 

had coffee, he called and we put it 

in our garage, dried things off, cut 

cardboard to fill the hole and duct 

taped it together. Thursday night, 

Tony was among the many at visitation 

for Steve Jeffords, longtime 

businessman in the community 

who lost his battle with cancer. 

Tony went to bingo at the city bar 

then visited his niece, Kathy 

Brown, and Dale Koehn. 

George Gittings took a steer to 

Wall Thursday to be butchered. 

Carol Solon stopped by our house 

for a visit early Thursday afternoon. 

Bill and I attended the visitation 

for Steve Jeffords. Among 

the items and pictures was an article 

where Steve had set a new state 

record for the disc throw and Marvin 

Radley, formerly of Philip, had 

set a record for the board jump. 

The Rapid City paper last week 

reported that there was good fishing 

in Lake Waggoner by Philip. 

So, if you have a hankerin' for crappie, 

blue gills and bass, you might 

give it a try. 

Don and Vi Moody arrived back 

in Rapid City Friday, but the glitter 

and excitement in Vegas still 

had them in awe. Lights, huge 

Xmas trees, traffic never ending, 

and planes chucked full. They had 

double inspection security in Vegas 

for their return flight. Their day 

started when a cabbie arrived at 

3:20 a.m. They were at the airport 

two hours prior to departure. An 

elderly lady had a medical emergency 

on board the aircraft and the 

air medics came and she wasn't 

able to continue on the flight into 

Rapid City. As they were coming 

into Rapid, they saw Mt. Rushmore 

and Crazy Horse Monument from 

the air. The passengers were excited 

to see that! 

Wow, check out the Rapid City 

Journal on line for pictures of Mike 

Groven's Christmas decorations. It 

was also in the daily paper Saturday. 

Mike lights up the whole down 

town Kadoka with his spectacular 

lights every year. Not bad for an 

over the hill guy of 87! He did say 

the electric meter spins off the 

wall. 

Jessica Gittings and Daniel were 

in Rapid City Friday. Daniel made 

a visit to Santa Claus and got to 

ride on a train at the mall. 

Roxie Gittings arrived at the 

George Gittings’ home Friday 

evening for the Christmas holiday. 

Friday, December 23, Tony 

Harty went to coffee. It was a quiet 

morning with so many attending 

the services for Steve Jeffords. 

Tony's brother-in-law, Rodney 

Hockenbary, Valentine, Neb., was 

here for the services and visited 

with Tony afterward. Tony went to 

the library in the afternoon then 

helped Wilma Stout look for her 

grandson, who went to visit his 

other grandma at the Kadoka Care 

Center and Wilma didn't know 

what had happened to him. All was 

well after a frantic search. The boy 

wasn't lost at all, he knew where he 

was all the time! 

Due to a cancellation for the van, 

I had Friday to get things ready for 

Christmas and this time I really 

tried to glue myself to the task at 

hand. I did visit at the home of 

Dale and Cindy O'Connell. Cindy

was like a baking factory turning 

out all kinds of wonderful looking 

breads, cookies, candies and the 

like. I gained pounds just looking 

at the stuff. 

Don and Vi Moody returned to 

their ranch Saturday afternoon 

from their winter holiday retreat in 

Las Vegas. They were glad to be 

home and found everything in fine 

order and the weather can't possibly 

be any better for livestock right 

now. Open grazing and supplements 

tend to keep cattle very contented 

right now. 

Saturday when Cathy Fiedler 

got home from work, she and Ralph 

packed up the gifts and food and 

headed to the Don Klumb home in 

Spearfish for Christmas Eve. Other 

family members joining the 

evening was Donald Klumb and 

Ayden, Gillette, Wyo., and his two 

sons, Lane and Levi Klumb, Minnesota. 

They are here for the week 

spending time with their dad, 

Lorene Klumb, Spearfish, and 

Derek and Renee (Klumb) 

Schmacher and Jazmin, Lead. A 

good supper was enjoyed by all. 

Gifts were exchanged and then 

Donald and his family headed for 

Gillette. The rest of the evening 

was enjoyed before everyone 

headed home. 

Saturday, Tony Harty was out 

and about after coffee. He delivered 

a Christmas package to Bill and 

me as well as visited at the home of 

Pastor Art and Doris Weishart and 

son, Jonathan, who was home for 

the holidays. He stopped by the 

grocery store to pick up ingredients 

for a batch of his spinach dip then 

visited his niece, Kathy Brown, and 

Dale Koehn. He helped Kathy put 

together some Christmas gifts. 

That evening, he attended the 

Christmas Eve services at the 

Lutheran church. 

As the paint dried on the Christmas 

balls I made for the kids packages 

Saturday, I delivered a few 

food items to folks, visiting Lova 

Bushnel and Jake Totten, (got 

heeled by a blue heeler dog at one 

place – actually drew blood) then 

Bill and I went to Rapid City. We 

enjoyed the evening and supper at 

the home of Zack Seager and Cori 

Barber. Our daughter, Shelley Seager, 

had stopped by Kadoka on her 

way through to Rapid Friday, and 

was busy cooking and spoiling her 

two grandsons, Ryder and Eli. Bill 

and I spent the night at the home 

of Eric Seager in anticipation of 

Christmas Day with family.

Catholic church services, Tony 

Harty visited his niece, Kathy

to visit his nephew, Casey 

and Cindy Weaver and family. His 

sister, Monica and Pat Weaver, 

Wanblee, were also there. He reported 

a full afternoon of enjoying 

seeing so many great-nephews and 

family. 

Don and Vi Moody went out 

Christmas morning bright and 

early to cut their Christmas tree 

and came home with a beautiful 

colored fiber optic tree that they 

found in a closet at the other house. 

Vi thinks that it would be fun to 

put up colored lights and decorations 

year round on the mantel to 

denote holidays! That way they can 

store the Christmas tree in plain 

sight! 

Kelsey and Kinsey Gittings and 

Natalie Zinnel of Iowa arrived at 

the George Gittings home Christmas 

morning for a surprise visit. 

They and their sister, Jessica, and 

son, Daniel, spent the day at their 

grandparent’s, Irwin and Patsy 

Ferguson, home. George, Sandee 

and Roxie Gittings attended 

church at Milesville Sunday morning 

(Christmas Day).

had left for Aviana and Eli, but did 

get to enjoy watching packages 

opened. Little Eli, six months, 

found the greatest gift of all, a ribbon 

– not just any ribbon, a red ribbon, 

and that entertained him immensely. 

A cardboard box was 

Ryder's favorite new toy the night 

before. These two little ones understand 

the meaning of green. There 

was a huge dinner with turkey and 

all the trimmings at Eric and Chaciel's, 

then some games were 

played. Bill and I called it a night 

and headed for home after the sun 

set, Shelley has been a houseguest 

at Zack and Cori's. 

Christmas Day when Cathy 

Fiedler got home from work, she 

and Ralph went to the Eric Hanson 

home in Spearfish for supper. The 

Don Klumb family joined them. 

After supper, they sang happy 

birthday to Sherry, and enjoyed 

some homemade cheesecake. Then 

Sherry opened her birthday gifts 

from the family. The kids played a 

new game for the TV, which also 

entertained the rest of the family, 

and some football was watched and 

lots of visiting done before heading 

home. They wish everyone a very 

Happy New Year! 

“Each morning the day lies like a 

fresh shirt on the bed; this incomparably 

fine, incomparably tightly 

woven tissue of pure prediction fits 

us perfectly. The happiness of the 

next twenty-four hours depends on 

our ability, on waking, to pick it 

up.” Walter Benjamin
