Be a HERO give blood

Community to show its all heart at Blood Drive, FREE cholesterol screening for blood donors. Local residents have the opportunity to celebrate life by joining in the community blood drive from 11:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., on Wednesday, October 3, 2012, at the Grand Electric Social Room. And now, not only will people have a great feeling after donating blood at the drive, but theyll be able to check their total cholesterol level. united Blood Services does a total cholesterol test that allows donors to eat before the test - no fasting is required. We use the total cholesterol test because its important for donors to have healthy meal before they donate, says Lori Liebman, United Blood Services Donor Recruitment Director. It is recommended that adults 20 years and older have a different cholesterol test, called a lipoprotein profile, every 5 years. A lipoprotein profile requires a 12-hour fast and is done at a physicians office or lab. Donors can check their confidential results at www.bloodhero.com the week after their donation. Blood donors must be 16 years or older and in good health. Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16 or 17 in certain areas, must have signed permission from a parent or guardian. Donors are asked to bring photo ID and Donor card every time they donate. First-time donors receive a donor card with their blood type in the mail shortly after their first donation.

842nd returns to South Dakota to a display of Yellow Ribbons

The South Dakota National Guard 842nd Engineering has completed their one-year tour to Afghanistan and will arrive back in Spearfish on Thursday. All along the way there will be Yellow Ribbons hung on fence posts, utility poles and trees. Welcome Home festivities include a family picnic, the de-activation ceremony at the Young Center and three parades in Belle Fourche, Spearfish and Sturgis. Two Bison soldiers, Kirk Hulm and Carson Chord, are amongst the 160+ soldiers who have all returned safely. Others with Perkins County ties include Doyle Udager, Adam Dauwen, Hank Uhrig Edward Jeulfs and Josh Guthmiller. A group of volunteers hung Yellow Ribbons on Bisons Main Street and Coleman Avenue earlier this week. Pictured above are: The Yellow Ribbon program became popular in 1981 to welcome American hostages home from Iran. According to The American Folk Life Center at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., On the CBS broadcast of January 28, Penelope Laingen, wife of the U.S. Charg d'Affaires in Tehran, Bruce Laingen, was shown outside her home in Bethesda, Maryland. It just came to me, she said, to give people something to do, rather than throw dog food at Iranians. I said, 'Why don't they tie a yellow ribbon around an old oak tree?' That's how it started." Mrs. Laingen was also quoted in the Washington Post, "So I'm standing and waiting and praying . . . and one of these days Bruce is going to untie that yellow ribbon. It's going to be out there until he does." Since that time, the yellow ribbon symbol had become a banner through which families can express their determination to be reunited with their absent loved ones. The American Folk Life Center has attempted to trace the origin of the yellow ribbon and they dont have an exact answer. There was the popular song by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown, copyrighted in 1972, "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" and another, Around Her Neck She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, that gained popularity in a 1940s John Wayne movie. That song was already around during the Civil War and theres documentation that yellow ribbons were worn by sweethearts and wives of the men who fought in that war. The custom probably didnt originate in this country! There is documentation found in the unearthing of Pompeii, Italy. A painting unearthed there after the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius shows a man standing next to a tree with a large yellow ribbon wrapped around it. During the English Civil War, the Puritan Army of English Parliament wore yellow ribbons and yellow sashes onto the battlefield. There are other documentation's, as well. However it originated, today, in the United States of America, the Yellow Ribbon has come to mean family and community support for U.S. military personnel. The yellow ribbon was donated by the Hurry & Hustle Community Club.

Letter To The Editor To Whom it May concern

The Prairie Lounge will be closing on December 22, 2012. As we will not operate a business in a town who's board makes up and enforces rules with certain citizens and fails to implement them with others. So thank you to all the loyal customers we have had in the past nine years. Be sure to express your opinions to the new and old town board members that would force us to make this decision. If anyone would be interested in buying the Prairie Lounge and property it is priced at $150,000.00, the exact amount I paid for it. The price will not be negotiable because I have no problem letting it set vacant. Yet again we have always appreciated our good customers and sorry for your inconvenience.

Hershey and Walker win overall
Rural Women in America celebrates 10th anniversary

Rural Women in Americas 10th annual conference will be held on Saturday, October 6, 2012 in Bowman, North Dakota. Women of all walks of life are invited to attend this award-winning event. Women enjoy nationally acclaimed motivational speakers and leaders, 45minute workshops, musical entertainment, shopping opportunities, chances to win $1,000 in gift cards, and a banquet-style luncheon. "Our 10th anniversary theme is all about celebrating the Spirit of a Woman. We encourage all women of all ages, backgrounds, living in town or the country to attend RWA and celebrate their spirit. We are proud to bring this caliber of an event to the women of our rural communities, " Camie Janikowski, committee co-chair said. The idea for this popular conference was hatched by a committee of local women in 2002. This group of leaders drew up a plan to educate women in the region and its impact has touched some 1,200 women throughout its history. The committee sets to create a day for women, designed and organized by other women in the tri-state region. Rural Women in America gives opportunity to mingle with a dynamic group of rural women and enjoy nationally recognized speakers. The keynote speakers will bring messages of hope, inspiration, and capture the Spirit of a Woman. Acclaimed speaker and storywriter, Renee Rongen, of Fertile, Minnesota, takes you on a sidesplitting safari to hunt and capture the elusive, universal spirit of every woman. Sharply perceptive,
Renees message is upbeat and unforgettable. Roxana Saberi, a Fargo native, had been living and working in Iran for nearly six years when four men forced her from her Tehran apartment one morning in January 2009. That morning she ended up in solitary confinement in the notorious Evin Prison. She authored, Courage Under Fire, and will share her story. This year, there will be amazing entertainment with the Jerde Family of Harding County, SD; a Nashville star, Rebecca Bingaman of Prairie City, SD, and Will & Kate2 and the Groovin Grandpa's of Scranton, North Dakota. Inspiring education on cooking, food selection, landscaping, technology and decorating are also planned. Rural Women in America is designed to inspire women by celebrating, cultivating, and connecting their hearts and souls with other women living in rural America empowering them to unlock their greatest potential. The women take home motivation, and draw upon those new invigorating ideas throughout the year. Its a day women are glowing. They are proud of their roots, and thriving in the beauty of their communities. The atmosphere of this day is electrifying! Here, dreams are born. Here, leaders emerge. If a woman is seeking to meet new people, its a perfect atmosphere to get acquainted. For more information, please contact the Bowman-Slope Soil Conservation District at 701-523-5531, extension 3. You can also find more information on the event at www.ruralwomeninamerica.com
A new feature at the Buffalo Roundup Arts Festival this year was the Cabellas Challenge Dutch Oven cook-off. This is a competition sanctioned by the International Dutch Oven organization. There were 47 entrants in three categories dessert, breads and main dishes. Moriah Walker of Summerset and her mother Margie Hershey of Bison entered the competition as the team Two Amigos. They placed third in the dessert division, second in the breads and first in the main dish competition. They were then awarded the overall championship which qualifies them to compete at the World Dutch Oven competition in Salt Lake City in 2013.
A Dutch oven is a thick-walled (usually cast iron) cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid. Dutch ovens have been used as cooking vessels for hundreds of years.

Computers, health care and the future

By Richard P. Holm MD The computer age has finally dawned upon the practice of medicine. While the rest of the world has been living with electronic checkout, accounting, and business applications for quite a while, medicine has somehow escaped the plug-in paperless medical chart until now. Why has the computer been so delayed in entering into the hospital rooms and private offices of medicine? Maybe its because of the complexity of medicine; the potential risk to patient confidentiality; the time and cost required for physicians to learn a new system; or maybe its because of the stubborn nature of physicians. There are a lot of possible reasons why the computer came late to medicine, but why did it finally come around? In recent years as physicians practices have been brought together into larger groups, electronic-portable-sharable records have become more inviting. Additionally the Government is strongly encouraging the electronic medical record (or EMR) by actually providing higher Medicare payments to doctors who are effectively using an EMR. The Government is motivated by the belief that EMRs will reduce medical errors, enhance medical research, and set the stage for con-

trolling run-away health care costs. Indeed there are more reasons an EMR could improve care: it gives immediate access to patient records, (old way pulls old paper charts from large file rooms;) it allows for readability of record, (old way forces trying to interpret the doctors writing;) and it provides for portability of records when patients move, (old way copies reams of pages and mails them in bulk.) But different electronic record systems dont speak to each other; the majority of systems are designed by computer programmers, not physicians; and every EMR system seems more written for billing departments and legal defense rather than made to enhance communication to help solve the patients problems. But probably the biggest problem for the EMR comes from using checklists instead of writing out the patients narrative. The computer puts us at risk of losing the valuable essence of the patients story. Over time I expect EMR systems will merge, improve, and care providers eventually will learn to use this tool effectively. But it is still just an instrument to enhance, not replace or interfere with the important interface between patient and doctor. The computer is here and we need to make it work.

Bells and Whistles Linda and I just returned from the annual meeting of the Lutheran Missions Societies. This year was the 91st annual meeting. The society started with some small Luther league groups around the country. It grew through the years to include hundreds at the annual meeting. Now it has diminished to a few faithful that travel to the meeting and we have a one day meeting. What has happened? Well most of the old generation involved has since moved on to glory. The mission work for the past 70 years has been focused on Alaska. They have started some churches, had an orphanage, started a radio station, and a couple mission locations in Alaska. Sometimes the suggestions that come our way are to have more programs and have more of the modern Bells and Whistles. In parts of I Timothy 4:2-6 we read; for everything God created is good and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving because it is consecrated by the WORD OF GOD and PRAYER. The Word of God and Prayer are to be the focus of what we do in our lives and in our churches and missions. The early church should be our pattern. Again in Colossians 4:2-6 we see a very similar pattern; devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us too, that God may open a door for our message (The word of God). We need to pray that the doors are open for the message of the saving grace of God. Then we need to make sure that it is Gods Word presented and not some Bells and Whistles

Shhhh, quiet, I am going to hit a ball
By Charles Ortman The Olympics are over and the United States athletes were just amazing. And true, as Doug mentioned, we Boomers arent going to make the next Olympic team but we still get to be blown away by what the Olympians are able to physically do. One group in particular definitely caught the whole countrys attention and that is our lady gymnasts. These are all teenagers. As I watched, their concentration is beyond my understanding. I started to think about other sports we all have watched thru the years. Many of these sports take amazing dedication to training; spending untold hours in the gym; working to the point of exhaustion day after day. As I said, many sports, probably not fishing. I know fishing is considered a sport but I dont really know if we can call fishermen athletes. In the old days, golfers werent necessarily considered to be in great shape but that has totally changed to the point that the golfers have their own personal trainers and the tour even has a big trailer at each event with fitness equipment available. Obviously tennis players are no longer wearing white shirts and ties or long dresses. These people too are tremendous athletes in amazing shape. I wanted to mention golfers and tennis players for a specific reason. When the golfer is going to swing the club or the tennis player is going to serve the ball, the audience has to be silent. If they arent, the noisy offenders will be chastised or even removed. Evidently the golfer or tennis players concentration is not up to those young teenage girls who are doing gymnastics. And yet, the pro golfer or tennis player is being paid huge sums of money, but the little teenage girls are amateurs. So lets see if I get this right. These young girls perform four different events at huge arenas with thousands of people watching and cheering all the time since all the events are going on at the same time, and yet their concentration is so good they can move, jump forward and backwards, spin, and other unimaginable moves on a four inch wide beam four or five feet off the ground. Now the golfer or tennis player is in danger of what when they make a mistake, hitting a fan? So there is no physical risk to them. But if the gymnast breaks concentration and lands straddling the beam; well lets just say we all cringe in pain just thinking about it. So lets recap. Golfer or tennis player breaks concentration because a bird chirps too loud or someone clears their throat and they have to stop, reset and start again. Big deal. A gymnast breaks concentration and maybe they cant have children. So basically golfers and tennis players are a bunch of wusses. Maybe we all need to start cheering golfers and tennis players on until everyone is kicked out. And maybe when the gymnasts are risking major bodily damage, we should be quiet.

Cardinals defeat Comets in five

The Bison Cardinals volleyball team traveled to Rapid City on Thursday to meet the Rapid City Christian Comets. At the end of five sets, the Cards added a W to their season record with game scores of: 20-25, 25-15, 25-21, 2426 and 15-12. Head Coach Kalin Chapman felt that her squad played to the other teams level in this match and were not as consistent from the service line as they usually are. They did a good job digging from the back row giving the team a chance for the attack and a score. As the match went on, the team got their serve together and was able to close out the match. Match Stats: Serving: Sydney Arneson, 24/27, 5 aces; Lenae McKinstry, 18/21, 4 aces; Charlotte Johnson, 13/15, 6 aces; Kassidy Sarsland, 11/14, 3 aces; Attacks: McKinstry, 15/21; Ball Handling: Arneson, 7/34; Serve Receive: Johnson, 14/17; Madison Hulm, 13/14; Blocks: Shelly Peck, 1 solo, 1 assisted; McKinstry, 1 solo, 1 assisted; Digs: Hulm, 12; Arneson, 5; Peck, 4; Johnson, 4.

Lady Cards win again at home

The Bison Lady Cardinals started a long week of volleyball with a hard-fought four-set match at home on Tuesday when they hosted the Hettinger/Scranton Nighthawks. After dropping the first set 21-25, the Cards came back and took the second and third sets with the identical score of 2520 and finished off the Hawks in the fourth at 25-19. H/S jumped out to an early lead in the first set and the Cards found themselves down 0-5 before a serve into the net by the Hawks Bailey Sadowsky put a point on the home side of the scoreboard. Lenae McKinstry stepped to the service line and got the Cards into contention after serving three points, aided by two H/S errors and a service ace. Charlotte Johnson and McKinstry teamed up for a block giving the ball back to Bison. Bisons Anna Hatle went one and out but Rebecca Oase didnt have any better luck for the Hawks. Johnson tied the score at seven all and after a couple of serve rotations, Shelly Peck gave the Cards their first lead of the night after H/S hit the ball into the net and committed a lift. Another serve into the net by H/S tied the game at 12 before Sydney Arneson gave the Cards a small cushion at 14-12. The Cards maintained their two-point lead until Oase put the visitors up at 16-19. Johnsons turn to serve netted the Cards four points and a 21-19 lead. Unfortunately, that would be all the scoring that the Cardinals would have and H/S served out the game. The first half of the second game was dominated by the Nighthawks. The Cards scored first on a McKinstry kill, but soon found themselves down 1-4. H/S scored four of the next five points, stopped by a Kassidy Sarsland kill for Bison. Johnson was able to serve the Cards three points closer but had to turn the ball back over at 6-9. Sadowsky served two quick aces and two hits out of bounds by the Cards and the home team was down 6-13. Sarslands kill gave the ball back to the Cards and she then served two points. A Bison lift put the score at 9-14. At 10-15 S. Peck served three points but turned the ball back to H/S when her serve fell short. Oase put a serve in the net which sent Arneson to the line where she gave the Cards their first lead of the game, aided by two aces and kills from Hatle and McKinstry. Bison never relinquished that lead and finished out the game with kills from Johnson, McKinstry, Sarsland and the final one by Arneson. Arneson started game three with an ace but an H/S kill on the next point put the ball in their side of the court. The next seven serve rotations were each one and done and the game remained either tied or one team with a one- or twopoint lead. McKinstry got the Cards within one with a kill at 8-9 giving the serve to Arneson who added four points to the home score. The Cards continued to build on the lead staying ahead through the rest of the game. H/S got within one point at 17-16 before Sarsland served four points, including two aces. A H/S bad pass and a McKinstry kill put the Cards at game point, 24-20. A tip by Arneson dropped to the floor and the game belonged to Bison. H/Ss Sadowsky put the Cards in a 0-7 hole in game four before McKinstry scored a point for Bison. The Cards couldnt seem to string together more than one point at a time and the Hawks continued to build a lead. Johnson and Sarsland combined to get the Cards a little closer and after Sarlands rotation, which included three aces, the Cards were within three at 1013. Both teams continued to fight and points were not easy to come by. S. Peck, Arneson and Madison Hulm kept the Cards in front through their serve rotations. Brooke Slater went to the line for the Hawks and gave them the lead at 18-19. A McKinstry kill ended that and the junior middle hitter served out the game, helped out by two S. Peck kills, a service ace and two H/S errors. Game Stats: Attacking: McKinstry, 11/23; Sarsland, 3/10; Hatle, 5/9;Peck, 3/7; Serving: Arneson, 21/21, 5 aces; Sarsland, 16/17, 4 aces; McKinstry, 12/15, 2 aces; Blocking: McKinstry, 2 solo, 6 assisted; Hatle, 2 solo, 4 assisted; Johnson, 6 assisted; Ball Handling: Arneson, 11/42; Johnson, 7/24.

Cross Country attends Elks Invitational

The Bison Cross Country team attended the Elks Invitational in Rapid City on Friday, September 21. It was a large AA meet so the competition was stiff. In spite of the strong runners present our Junior High boys did well. Daniel Burkhalter continues to impress as he finished 1st in the JH race running his 3K race in 10:31. Josh McKinstry finished 56th, Joey Aukland 91st, Jonathan Burkhal-
ter 100th, while newcomer Jake Kahler, running his very first meet, finished 179th. That is really good considering there were 207 runners and it's the middle of the season. Rebekah Burkhalter finished 65th in JH girls, Ruth Burkhalter crossed in 18th place in JV girls, and Joseph Kvale finished 78th in JV boys. It was a great day and we gained a lot of valuable experience.
Daniel Burkhalter leads the JH Elks race start to finish.

Cardinals take third at LMC Tourney

The annual Little Moreau Conference Tournament was held on Saturday in Faith. The Cardinals dominated the morning session beating Lemmon and Faith by 2-0 in each match. In the afternoon the Cards lost to Timber Lake 0-2, and in the double elimination format, they faced Faith once again but this time the Longhorns were victorious. That placed the Cardinals third in the tourney, which was won by Faith. The Cardinals found themselves down in their first game against Lemmon by as many as six points. They made a big comeback to win the game behind Kassidy Sarslands strong serve rotation. That game went to extra points with the Cards posting 27 and the Cowgirls 25. In the second game, Coach Kalin Chapman felt her squad played all out as a team. They kept the lead throughout the game and closed out the match at 25-20. In the second match of the morning, the Cards faced off against the Lady Longhorns. Coach Chapman felt her squad surprised the tourney hosts with how hard they were going to have to play against the Cardinals. The players in the back row were on their game and the serve receive really kept the Cards in the game which ended at 25-23. In the second game the Cardinals were hitting their serves but also were able to handle the strong Longhorn servers. They walked away with this one at 25-14. The afternoon session was a different story for the Cards. Their first opponent was the Timber Lake Panthers who won two straight, 17-25 and 15-25. Chapman said the team seemed to fall apart and the confidence they had displayed earlier wasnt there. She felt they, let them beat us. It didnt get any better in the next match as Faith came back to win two straight from the Cardinals. The Cardinals will host Dupree on Thursday, September 27 for the Homecoming Game. There will be three matches, C-B-A, starting at 4:30 p.m. Tourney Stats: vs. Lemmon: Serving: Sydney Arneson, 14/14, 2 aces; Charlotte Johnson, 10/10, 3 aces; Kassidy Sarsland, 9/10, 4 aces; Lenae McKinstry, 8/10, 3 aces; Attacks: McKinstry, 22/24, 8 kills; Sarsland, 14/16, 5 kills; Shelly Peck, 8/9, 4 kills; Ball Handling: Arneson, 39/39; Johnson, 24/24; Serve Receive: Madison Hulm, 14/15; Peck, 4/6; Arneson, 5/5; Megan Serr, 4/4; Blocks: McKinstry, 4 solo, 1 assisted; Digs: Hulm, 5.

Burning of the B
Cards bring home a road victory

The Bison Cardinals headed to Rapid City on Friday to play the Rapid City Christian Comets and brought home an impressive 43-20 win. Coming off a bye week, the Cards were ready to play and their performance on both sides of the ball proved it. The Comets scored first but once the Cards got their hands on the pigskin, they dominated the remainder of the game. Senior quarterback Daniel Chapman had four passing touchdowns sending two to Wil Kolb, one to Lane Kopren and one to Yancy Buer. Kopren also had a rushing TD. Seth Buer rounded out the Cardinals scoring with a rushing TD. Kolb was a perfect 5/5 on PAT kicks and the one PAT run by S. Buer was also successful. There were seven different Cardinal receivers who caught passes. On the defensive side, Coach Beau Chapman described Kopren as a beast for his work on the gridiron. Chapman had three interceptions and Kolb added two to aid the defense. RCC committed five turnovers and the Cards had only one near the end of the game. The Cardinals will host Timber Lake on Friday, September 28 for the Homecoming Game. There will be a JV game at 4:00 p.m. followed by the varsity game at 7:00 p.m. Dacotah Bank will be sponsoring a Tailgate Party at the field beginning at 5:00 p.m. Game Stats: Rushing: S.

The Prairie Doc perspective

By Richard P. Holm MD It is a challenging conundrum or problem that most of us foolishly ignore our feet until they give us trouble. This last week a woman in her 90s hobbled into my office complaining of an exceedingly sore foot. There was a hard pointed callus on the sole of the foot, where the fat-pad had thinned with age and the bone was very prominent. This had progressed to the point where the pain was keeping her from being able to do activities of daily living, and a blood blister was starting to form under the callus. It was like walking with a large and sharp pebble in her shoe. I have seen similar foot calluses form a blood blister, get infected, and eventually result in foot amputation. After positioning her on the examining table, with a very sharp scalpel, I gently and carefully shaved layer after layer of thickened skin until the callus was gone. That accomplished, we provided for a molded foot insert that took the pressure off the boney prominence, in order to help prevent recurrence of the callus. She left the office happy with the pebble gone. Apparently by definition there is a difference between a callus and a corn. Calluses are the natural and protective thickening of skin on the palms of the hand, the soles of the feet, the knees, or anywhere there is prolonged and increased pressure or friction. Corns are by definition smaller, form on the top or side of a toe, have a hard center, and are surrounded by inflammation. And for what its worth, it is rumored that the corn was named after the famous ancient Roman scientist and medical writer Aulus Cornelius Celsus. Most of the time calluses and corns can be prevented by wearing properly fitted shoes and grinding down excessive build-up of skin with sand paper, with pumice stone, or even with fingernails during bath or shower. Commonly this challenging problem occurs because many feet and toes are quite deformed and cannot fit into shoes without resulting in calluses or corns. Sometimes the only solution for such misshapen and distorted feet is surgical correction. Corns and calluses seem like uninteresting and insignificant medical trivia until pain begins or amputation threatens. Dont ignore your feet.

Blood drive welcomes new donors

United Blood Services invites new donors to give blood. The need for blood is constant and volunteer blood donors contribute to nearly all the blood used for patient care in the United States. If all those who were eligible to donate would do so on a regular basis, say three times per year, community and hospital blood needs could be met at all times. Every two seconds, someone needs blood. Patients across the country receive approximately 38,000 units of this lifesaving resource each day; they may be accident victims, people undergoing surgery, or patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer and other diseases. By committing to donate three times a year, a first time (or repeat) donor can count on saving the lives of up to six people! People who are interested in becoming blood donors can donate at their community blood drive on Wednesday, October 3, 2012 from 11:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Grand Electric Social Room. You can make an appointment to donate at the blood drive by calling Bernice Kari at 244-5472. Volunteer blood donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16, or 17 in certain areas, must have signed permission from a parent or guardian.

Remote possibilities
By John Chicoine The other day I was sitting in front of my television with the remote planted firmly in my hand. A commercial came on and I pushed the mute button. My wife Paula walked into the room and wondered why I had the sound off. I explained to her that I found commercials annoying. She found that amusing. That got me to thinking about the wonders of remotes and the mute button. Men have remotes clutched tightly in their hands, surfing the channels in the endless quest to find something interesting to watch. One man the other day said he has 150 channels on his cable and watches about four. Men are notorious for watching 2 football games, a baseball game and a car race at the same time. Who says men cant multitask? Women are different. Yes, in so many ways including use of the remote. For instance, Ill hand my wife the remote, shell get her station, adjust the volume and set it down and not pick it up again. Whats with that? Why arent women interested in what might be happening two channels up? I may be an anomaly but I use the mute button for many things. Commercials for instance drive me nuts. Political commercials will drive the nation nuts this year. Ill mute sporting events because the sportscasters might be idiots describing why my team is losing. The mute on the remote can enhance your entertainment value. During a big entertainment venue recently I had the sound off. A guy was performing and he was dancing and singing a song. Muted, I thought the guy was having a seizure. It was hilarious. Not that he might be having a medical emergency; I had to turn the sound back on to make sure. But his body language and contortions were so entertaining, more so muted than with the sound on. Many singers and dancers seem to be more entertaining muted today for some reason. And then of course there is the human mute button. Every woman in America knows about that. Men seem to use the human remote way too often. Women may get a whiplash nodding their heads reading the following lines. Man, You didnt tell me that. Woman, Yes I did, I told you that last week. Where is your mind? Man, You did? Maybe if they took remotes away from men they would be better listeners? Nah, probably not.

The True Meaning of Fall
cows. Depending on where I find them, I may not get home before lunch so its important that I eat a hearty breakfast. Ive missed my all-important mid-morning snack time before and felt energetically diminished due to handling a time-consuming seasonal cattle crisis instead of snacking. I have also learned to brace myself for morning cow-quandaries daily in the fall. I head out on high alert for misplaced Monday Morning Specials. All that means is I look for signs that indicate herd-related problems normally reserved for Mondayswhen Im not conscious yet and get sandbagged with herd trouble. I always keep an eye out for signs on the gravel road indicating potential livestock issues ahead. These sources of anxiety would be cow pie splatterings on roads where cows arent supposed to be. Another contribution to fall dread is finding gates left open. This may appall you but every year there is at least one hunter who does not know about gate-

Every day at
The time is upon us. The air at dawn feels brisk. Foliage on trees begins to change color and theres a thin layer of ice in our dogs water dish. Dont you just love fall? I dont. Over the last several years these seasonal changes have come to mean one thing: fall dread. The type of dread in which I wake up wondering, What kind of mayhem is awaiting me today? My husband and I split cow checking duties and I usually tend to the replacement heifers stock tank unless he has other tasks to deal with and needs me to check the range also. Checking cows on Forest Service involves making a big loop to ensure stock tanks are filling up properly, salt is plentiful, and to note the whereabouts of our
closing etiquette and will leave a gate open that was shut. Previous fall stress has taught me that autumn mornings arrive heavy with anxiety. Therefore, it is not the time of year for scheduling appointments; making plans to attend meetings, or expressing my availability in the mornings. Ive learned to block off September and October mornings for potential setbacks as part of my daily routine. Anytime I make plans before 1 p.m. Murphys Law lets me know Im not in charge of my own time. Regardless how much forage is still available, at the drop of the mercury, cows think its time to go home since we move them north of Pringle around this time. Every fall our cows forget that my husband is the micromanager of this outfit and has the say-so when its time to head home. When frost starts showing up cows try to sneak home early. In the weeks prior to moving our herd home, it becomes a daily routine to look for a cow clique trapped at a corner fence unable to access water or AWOL cows trying to leave the range early. In severe cases of homesickness, theyll find holes or weak fences to push through and head in a northeasterly direction toward home. Our lead cows and their groupies always try to trail themselves home on their own. By early October pushing stray cows back onto the permit becomes a near-daily routine. As you can see, the events that occur here in the fall cause me to associate autumn with dread; I really hate missing my snack time.

This is my favorite time of year. The fall roundup and trail drive home from our summer pasture is great fun, even more entertaining than spring. Trailing cows home is the absolute best experience of the whole year, at least in my opinion, and if youll bear with me, Ill take you along. Our summer pasture is 26 miles away if you take the road, but just under twenty miles horseback through some of the most beautiful scenery on earth. Early Thursday morning I packed lunches and filled water jugs for the long trip while Reub and Casey saddled the horses and loaded them in the trailer. The early morning chill called for gloves and jackets. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so Ill just have to paint word pictures for you. Our summer pasture is big, almost three square miles of the most rugged and isolated country youve ever seen. Our pasture is part of the ranch that belonged to our very talented neighborhood magician, Fred Denzin. Bob Thompson, Jim Hunt, and Reuben bought the ranch from Fred over forty years ago to create the Horse Creek Grazing Association. You cant get to the ranch if youre on the way to somewhere else. It may not be at the end of the earth, but its not close to anything. The Slim Buttes are off to the south and the Cave Hills way over west and you dont see any sign of the modern world - no buildings except for the century old abandoned ranch buildings, no telephone poles or electric lines, nothing but a dirt trail leading into the
Grand River Roundup........................................................By Betty Olson

ranch yard, and no lights off in the distance at night. Isolation at its finest! We unloaded the horses, mounted up, and started the gather. Our horses have human names and Casey rode Sally, Reub rode Johnny, and I rode Bob. Casey rode south and Reub and I headed to the north end of the pasture. As we rode up the east fence I saw something shiny on the ground and got off my horse to investigate. It was a very nice hunting knife! Reub rode over to see what I was doing and his horse stepped right over a full box of new 30.06 cartridges laying just a few feet from the knife. Ill bet that was one disgusted hunter. Knowing my interest in rock formations and geology in general, Reub wanted to show me a rock he found years ago. This rock is fascinating and I cant wait to ask a geologist about it. There are literally tons of volcanic rocks and lava bombs scattered over the north end of the pasture from volcanic activity eons ago, but this is the most unusual rock Ive ever seen. It juts about six feet out of the ground, is at least six feet in circumference, and has a bottomless hole down through its center. It almost looks like a tree grew up through the middle of the rock and then rotted away. By nudging Bob as close to the rock as possible and standing in the stirrups I could look down into the hole and from my vantage point I couldnt see any bottom. Reub graciously offered to take me fencing up there next spring so I can take pictures and drop something down the hole to see if it is as bottomless as it looks. Okay, back to work. Reub hazed cows down toward the center of the pasture while I headed west along the fence line, searching for any livestock hiding out in the many deep wooded draws that cant be seen from the top of the buttes. It took a while to ride through all the draws over to the west end of the pasture. Id lost sight of the guys until I saw Casey top one of the buttes a mile or so off to the south and disappear again. A while later I found a cow standing down in an almost inaccessible wooded draw. Bob stumbled down off the deep cut banks to get to the cow. When we got to her we tried to head her back up the steep bank, but she just shook her head and flopped down. I reached down to swat her with a strap and Bob nudged her with his nose, but the old girl didt move so I got off and pounded on her with my fist. She wouldnt move a muscle and we finally had to leave her. When I told Casey about the cow and he shook his head and grinned. Hed a run in with her earlier. She was grazing with some other cows on the side of a hill and when he tried to turn them toward the rest of the herd, she bowed up and charged his horse just as he rode toward her. They missed each other, but she was on the fight! When he dodged her again, the mad cow made a dash for the draw and laid down when he caught up with her. She blew snot on him but refused to get up
even after he pounded on her. He let me know I was lucky she didnt get up while I was on the ground with her. Said he could just see the headlines: South Dakota Representatives death attributed to Mad Cow! After the four hour gather, we trailed the herd out of Horse Creek and headed southeast several miles to drop them for the night in an empty pasture east of the Hackamore. Over nine hours in the saddle was hard on my old knees and we loaded our horses in the trailer for home. Early Friday morning we were back in the saddle. The cows were tired and hadnt moved very far, so this roundup was much faster. Casey went on ahead to haze Dolls cows down toward the river and we were able to move ours through with little trouble. Doug Doll and his trophy wife, Janet, came by with a load of critters bound for the sale in St. Onge to visit with Reub. Doug wished he had his camera along cuz hed love to get a picture of a politician actually working! Doug planned to join the Buckeroos at Bret Clanton's that evening. Ill bet that gathering was fun. By the time we delivered the herd to our west pasture my knees were ready for a rest, but now that theyve had time to heal Im already looking forward to the trail drive next year. Want to come along?
