The October 2, meeting for the
Haakon County Board of Commis-
sioners was uneventful as they
took care of basic business.
The first item of business was a
correction in the September 4,
2012, minutes. Auditor Pat Free-
man had written that the board
had decided to send a letter to
South Dakota State University
that Haakon County would not be
part of the four county 4-H cluster.
Freeman had also written that Sh-
eryl Hansen, 4-H administrative
assistant had been offered, and ac-
cepted the position of 4-H advisor.
The two issues had been discussed
as possibilities but no decisions had
been made.
Two Haakon County commis-
sioners will meet with their coun-
terparts from Jones, Jackson and
Mellette counties October 10 to dis-
cuss the clusters continuation or
demise. Also at the meeting will be
Barry Dunn, SDSU director of Ex-
tension.
Adele Harty, Extension cow/calf
field specialist and Mary Roduner,
Extension consumer horticulture
field specialist from the Rapid City
Regional Extension Center visited
with the commission. They up-
dated the board on activities within
their fields and asked for the
boards comments and suggestions
on how the program has worked for
them and their constituents in the
past year.
Light agenda for commission
Kenny Neville, Haakon County highway
superintendent, was recognized Sep-
tember 17 at the South Dakota Associ-
ation of County Commissioners an-
nual convention for 40 years as a high-
way department employee in Haakon
County. Neville began as an equipment
operator in 1972. He became superin-
tendent in September 1993, replacing
Hank Miller. Photo by Nancy Haigh
Roduner noted she is in charge of
the Master Gardner program as
well as being an entomologist, spe-
cializing in garden insects, not crop
insects.
Kenny Neville updated the board
on the highway department. He
and the commission discussed
work at the Robbs Flat site. The
new building should be moved to
the site within two weeks.
The board approved membership
payments for the Central South
Dakota Enhancement District and
the National Association of County
Officials.
Reports reviewed included the
veterans service officer, sheriff and
auditor/treasurer. Freeman noted
the jail and mentally ill funds were
in the red once again. The board
approved to supplement the jail
fund by $18,000 and the mentally
ill fund by $5,000.
Warrants for the past month
were approved.
An executive session for person-
nel evaluations was conducted for
approximately 45 minutes.
The boards next meeting ws
changed from November 8 to No-
vember 6 so the board can also can-
vass the general election results.

The Philip Area AARP/Retired
Teachers Association held its
monthly soup supper and meeting,
Monday, September 24.
The guest speaker was Brit
Miller, president of the Philip
Chamber of Commerce. Miller said
he grew up in Philip and is a 2005
Philip High School graduate.
I was one of those kids who
couldnt wait to get out of Philip,
said Miller. We dont appreciate
what we have here. After college,
he held banking positions in Hoven
and Aberdeen. He said that, then,
his goal was to move back to Philip
and give back to the community. I
realized just how special Philip is,
said Miller. He has since helped
with the Philip Volunteer Fire De-
partment, helped referee football
and basketball games, and volun-
teers for various other activities.
He related that he moved back in
May, and in November was talked
into being the vice president of the
Philip Chamber of Commerce. All
he had to do was start showing up
for meetings, and next term the
vice president became the presi-
dent.
We should be more active, both
as a chamber and economic devel-
opment, said Miller. We have so
many great employers, but we are
short on housing. We are not look-
ing into it real far.
He praised the Philip Invita-
tional Matched Bronc Ride, and
noted for the past two years it has
had 2,000 people at the rodeo
grounds. What we need to do is
find more things like that, said
Miller.
He also praised other local
draws, such as a tax break for new
construction that has been initi-
ated by the Philip City Council.
Miller noted that the NAPA store
will be relocated to across from the
Pit Stop gas station. If Dale (Mor-
rison) didnt step up, we might
have lost NAPA in Philip, said
Miller. If you go to Wall or
Kadoka, everybody talks about the
(Gem) theater.
Miller said that we have to get
more things going, though the
drought-affected economy is a fac-
tor, Hopefully we can get some
rain and we can come out of it.
Pray for some rain for our local
farmers and ranchers. He sug-
gested maybe a cost share program
or some other incentive to get some
local buildings redone.
We are moving in the right di-
rection, concluded Miller. If you
ever see anybody on the street you
dont know, say hi. It takes every-
body to make it better.
In AARP/Retired Teacher Asso-
ciation business, the local chapter
must purchase liability insurance
as a safeguard, especially with the
use of the senior center facilities.
The annual grandparent essay
winners are students Jasmine Fer-
guson, Morgan Cantrell and Cylver
Lurz. There were 49 schools and
1,361 students across the state par-
ticipating in the essay program this
year. They get really excited when
they can write about their grand-
parents. Its fun to read, too, said
Marcia West.
The Youve Earned a Say pro-
gram from South Dakota AARP
made a 66-county tour across
South Dakota, registering what lo-
cals had to say about Medicare and
Social Security. The information
was compiled by SDAARP and sent
to the national office, and from
there will be sent to officials in
Washington, D.C. Local chapters
will be kept updated, mainly
through Mike West who serves on
the executive board of SDAARP.
During the local meetings of
Youve Earned a Say, food drives
were held. Almost 5,000 pounds of
food was gathered statewide. The
Country Cupboard food pantry
based out of Wall needs syrup and
canned fruit, but any kind of food
is welcome. It is used more than
wed like to think, said West.
The next meeting of the Philip
chapter of the AARP/Retired
Teachers Association will be Mon-
day, October 29, at 6:00 p.m. at the
Bad River Senior Citizens Center.

For its Monday, October 9 meet-
ing, the Philip Chamber of Com-
merce hosted Kari ONeill, who
promoted the Stronger Economies
Together program.
A few years back the Philip com-
munity began its participation in
the Horizons program. This is a
leadership development program
designed for small, rural towns. Its
main goals are to train future com-
munity leaders, address poverty is-
sues and work to make local
changes. Though bettering the
local economy, job prospectives and
housing are usually targets for
many communities, local econom-
ics are not necessarily the main
purpose of the Horizons program.
Stronger Economies Together
(SET) is geared to bring a region of
communities together in order to
improve the economies of all of
them as a whole. This local region
would include Haakon, Jackson
and eastern Pennington counties
We can do more together than
we can on our own, said Mary
Burnett. Its logical. This is our
trade area ... weve got businesses
who employ people from other com-
munities. She related that the
stated region generally follows the
local telecommunications exchange
boundaries and our medical serv-
ices are key to that area.
Basically, if we pull together
and pool our resources, we can
have a hand in our future, said
Burnett.
ONeill generalized how the rural
development program has done in
other states since it began two
years ago. Theyve worked out a
lot of the kinks and its a really good
program, said ONeill. Once a re-
gion can show its SET plan, certain
grants may then be applied for to
help implement that plan.
To help get the regional economic
development group off the ground,
ONeill, Burnett and Becky Breck
have been contacting people to join
in the first official SET meeting for
the regions communities. That
meeting is tentatively set for Tues-
day, November 13, in Kadoka. Nine
meetings, to cover nine progressive
modules, are to be held within the
first year of the two-year program.
Philip may host at least two of
those meetings.
The group will consist of 40 to 50
Chamber looks into Stronger
Economies Together program

Mike Rogers (R-Mich.)
We can get our national news on
cable television, catch the weather
on local broadcast stations, listen
to talk radio on the AM or FM dial
and follow our favorite blogs on the
Internet, but where do we turn for
local information that directly im-
pacts our daily lives? More often
than not it is community newspa-
pers.
Technology has transformed how
we gather information in the 21st
century. Newscycles run 24/7,
tablets and laptops are becoming
smaller and smart phones keep
getting smarter.
As a result most traditional large
newspapers are struggling to stay
alive they are more and more fre-
quently printing only two to three
times a week, personnel and con-
tent are shrinking like never be-
fore, and more information is
shifted to online editions.
Yet local community newspapers
are thriving because they have per-
sistently weathered the storm year
in and year out to remain a fixture
in our everyday lives. As our soci-
eties become more complex and di-
verse with growing numbers of
ways to obtain information, the
role of local newspapers in inform-
ing our communities becomes even
more significant.
We count on them to regularly
check in with the courts and police
stations. They print announce-
ments on births, deaths, engage-
ments, marriages, anniversaries,
church news, job openings, school
information and service club en-
deavors.
They publish notices of local mu-
nicipal meetings. They print tax in-
creases, millage initiatives, notices
of changes in laws and property re-
zoning all issues that most di-
rectly affect our pocketbooks by de-
termining how our hard-earned tax
dollars are spent at the local level
and how are local officials are rep-
resenting us.
They help run the local economic
engine and provide a marketplace
for the community. They offer local
small businesses with an effective
and affordable means of connecting
with local consumers. They print
sales at the supermarket, coupons
for discounts at local stores, real es-
tate listings, and classifieds for
everything from a used car to a
neighbors garage sale.
Its also personal. Communities
feel a sense of ownership in their
local newspaper, and the people
that report the news are often our
friends and neighbors down the
street.
News aggregating websites such
as Drudge Report and the major
news blogs are great at offering up
major national and international
news and analysis, but they simply
do not provide the information on
issues that impact us at the local
level. It is especially true for the
elderly and those with low incomes
who often have less access to com-
puters and transportation.
They normally only publish once
a week, but community newspa-
pers remain the one constant
source of local information. In good
times and in bad, they stay focused
on us as a community.
Now more than ever, community
newspapers are an important bind-
ing thread of our cities and towns.
Local newspapers connect
us with our communites

The 63rd annual West Central
Electric Cooperative meeting, held
in Philip, Wednesday, October 3,
was a warning of diminishing in-
come, an increasing need for more
power plants, an environmental
condemnation of coal-powered
plants and an awareness of peak
power requirements.
Approximately 250 guests and
West Central Electric personnel
gathered in the Philip Fine Arts
Building. The official business
meeting was followed by a roast
beef supper provided by the Philip
Volunteer Fire Department. The
evenings entertainment was the
Jim Szana Trio jazz group.
Door prizes included beef certifi-
cates, small appliances and grand
prizes of a color television, a patio
barbecue and a tabletop barbecue.
During the meeting, the Philip
chapter of Family, Career and
Community Leaders of America
provided child care. The opening
prayer was given by Father Kevin
Achbach and the national anthem
was sung by the Philip High School
honor choir.
West Central Electric is a rural
cooperative serving members in
Haakon, Jackson, Jones, Lyman
and Stanley counties. The coopera-
tive maintains around 3,573 miles
of line in an area of more than
7,000 square miles, serving approx-
imately 3,660 members. The coop-
eratives monthly newsletter, Co-
operative Connections, includes
energy saving programs, current
events and issues about the cooper-
ative, along with local, state and
national news and information. Al-
most 40 people are employed by
West Central Electric.
West Central Electric officers
presented the projected future of
the cooperative. Chief Executive
Officer Steve Reed said, One thing
about electricity, a warm winter is
not necessarily a good thing. He
pointed out that less usage equated
into less sales, but with the same
operating costs and with increasing
peak requirements. The coopera-
tive is nine percent down from the
previous year, even with the hot
summers high air conditioner
needs.
We believe this years weather
pattern is an anomaly, said Reed.
After stressing that costs are going
up, he added, Coal is all of a sud-
den the bad guy in the environmen-
tal debate, even though almost 57
percent of the areas electricity in
2011 came from coal operated
plants. Hydropower fulfilled 22
percent of the needs, renewables
(wind) nine percent, nuclear two
percent, natural gas half of a per-
cent, and purchases from other
areas was close to 10 percent.
Reed announced that the cus-
tomer billing due date will be on
the 20th of each month, to assist
with the cooperatives own pay-
ment due dates. And, in 2013 a
three dollar charge increase will be
implemented. Customers who re-
quire less than 500 feet of hook-up
will not be charged, but for over
500 feet the cooperative member
will be charged an aid fee. Reed
said that it costs $12,000 to build a
1,500 foot hook-up.
One bright point, said Reed, was
that the TransCanada Keystone
XL Pipeline will, by far, be the co-
operatives main customer. Trans-
Canada has already paid $9.5 mil-
lion for the cooperative to increase
its infrastructure.
Reed mentioned that the cooper-
atives two way automated commu-
nication computer program is help-
ing to control a stable output of en-
ergy. Bar coding will help with
real-time inventory. Cell phone no-
tifications to members will also
save costs and efforts, especially
since landlines may be out during
a power outage.
Vic Simmons of Rushmore Elec-
tric presented an update for the
states electric cooperatives. He
said, in order to keep up with fu-
ture demand, more power plants
must be built relatively soon. The
cooperatives of South Dakota,
North Dakota, Montana and
Wyoming have a $2.9 billion con-
struction program. Costs are going
up, a great percentage being a di-
rect result of requirements under
the Clean Air Act.
Cooperatives must be able to pro-
vide the generation and transmis-
sion of electricity needed to meet
maximum usage at any given in-
stance. Demand side management,
also called load control, can be pos-
itively affected by individuals by
running major appliances in off-
peak times.
Customers/members are encour-
aged to help with electrical load
bearing by running major appli-
ances at night or in the times that
are not peak times for electrical
use. The cooperative, by using a
customer-requested connection sys-
tem, can temporarily turn off hot
water heaters if variable peak load
times require it.

Dead skunk in the middle of the
road. You got yer dead skunk in
the middle of the road. Stinkin to
high Heaven! So go the lyrics of a
song written and performed by
Loudon Wainwright. It is espe-
cially appropriate right now since
skunks appear to have had a ban-
ner year. Not only are they dead in
the middle of the road but also on
the shoulder and even on some city
streets. I dont know how many
carcasses Ive seen, but there have
been a lot.
This is not hard to believe since
skunks often have multiple off-
spring. They are similar to cats as
far as reproduction goes, and you
know having four kittens in a
batch is fairly common. Sometimes
there are more that that. There-
fore, if you have ten female skunks
around, they could multiply them-
selves to forty by fall. I think thats
what happened this year. There
must have been many large
batches and few stillborns
This, too, is the season you are
most apt to see the results of the
years production since they are all
drifting around looking for cozy
winter quarters. Culverts under
roads are quite popular. Buildings
are too. Just the other day, Wally
asked if Id like to help him move
three dead skunks from under his
house. I said that, alas, I had a
very busy schedule for both the
morning and afternoon and
couldnt possibly provide assis-
tance. What a pity I couldnt help.
Over the years, Ive dispatched a
whole lot of skunks. They particu-
larly adore the cat food I usually
have sitting out in dishes in the
barn. Whats more, the cats just ac-
cept them as kin without making a
fuss. Let a coon come in the barn
and eat cat food, and the cats get
nervous. You can tell right away
that something is wrong when you
walk in the barn and the cats are
all sitting on high places looking
nervously around. This is a signal
to grab your gun, walk carefully,
and check the rafters for ringed
tails. Cats give no warning about
skunks, though, so youd just bet-
ter keep your wits about you in the
barn, especially after dark. Ive
never been actually sprayed by a
striped kitty, but it has been a near
thing many times. Early spring
and fall are the times one should
be especially careful.
Its not bad enough that these
striped beasts have potent stink
glands, but, what is worse, they
are the most common carrier of ra-
bies in this area. As far as I know,
we have never had rabies on the
place, but that doesnt mean it
couldnt happen. Any critter in-
cluding cats that acts strangely
needs to be closely watched. The
only thing worse than a rabid
skunk, as far as Im concerned,
would be a rabid bat. You could
probably outrun a skunk, but bats
would be quite a bit trickier to
avoid. We sometimes get bats in
the barn too, and I really hate that.
I go in and out just as quickly as
possible when they are there. Ac-
cording to recent statistics, not
many bats actually have rabies,
but I dont trust them anyway, the
nasty things. If they were loveable
creatures, they wouldnt be com-
monly displayed in conjunction
with the scariest time of year,
namely Halloween.
It is also almost impossible to
chase a skunk out of a building be-
fore shooting it. They wont go even
if there are lots of doors, and
theyre all open. For one thing, you
have to stay a goodly distance
away so you cant really force the
issue. Long ago I gave up trying to
get them outside and now just
shoot them where they stand.
Then I quickly exit the building
and wait at least a day before going
back, picking up the smelly beast
with a pitchfork, and disposing of
it a considerable distance away
down a draw.
The only redeeming feature
about skunks might be that they
are fairly pretty. They usually
have glossy black hair punctuated
by a big white stripe or two. Their
beauty, though, could be compared
to that of creeping jenny which also
is somewhat pretty. Neither one
can be fully appreciated when you
know what problems they can
cause.
My favorite story in this regard,
however, might be the one from
schooldays in town. It was spring
and a lilac was blooming outside
the window. Mom said, Open the
window so you can smell the
lilacs. I did open the window but
just as a skunk walked by. I told
Mom, I dont think I care much for
the smell of lilacs. She came to my
room right away to check this out,
smelled the skunk, and got a terri-
ble fit of the giggles.
So in conclusion, Its dead. Its
in the middle. Dead skunk in the
middle of the road. Its dead. Its in
the middle, and stinkin to high,
high Heaven.

people representing the different
communities in the region. They
will then work in smaller groups.
The modules are geared knowing
that some people will probably not
be able to make all of the meetings.
The second year is to be more on
the regions own initiative, with
less oversight from Extension edu-
cators, United States Department
of Agriculture Rural Development
state staff, and Regional Rural De-
velopment Centers.
Previous regional areas in the
SET program have strengthened
their local telecommunications, im-
proved their local food market and
food distribution, or brought in
adult education to augment the
local business needs such as weld-
ing training.
In two years you are not going
to develop a big, big change, but
youll have a start, said ONeill.
Available will be coaching and ex-
pertise from the Governors Office
of Economic Development, state de-
mographic data, leadership train-
ing, technological assistance, and
peer-to-peer networking.
Some of the major benefits to
successful region applicants have
been the uncovering of local assets
and resources that can advance the
regions economy. The local SET re-
gion may apply for a special assis-
tance grant to help with data
analyses or get specific expertise
needed by the team. If interested in
joining, individuals should contact
Burnett or Brech.
The next official meeting for the
Philip Chamber of Commerce will
be at 7:00 p.m., Monday, November
12, at the 73 Saloons meeting
room.
Stronger Economies Together
Perfect hunt ... by Del Bartels
On and off for months now the rancher had spotted, though only
fleetingly, the massive buck. A lifelong hunter, he had noted the first
initial growth of the antlers, then the velveting of the thick, sprawling
rack. One dewy predawn, he watched in wonder as the stag loudly
scraped off the covering against a tree, the newly polished horns glis-
tening in the first streaks of the rising sun. No other bucks had dared
answer the clacking challenge; this deer was king. Before the sun fin-
ished its kiss with the horizon, the master of the fields had vanished.
Yet, over the months the rancher had gained a feeling for the route
taken by the buck during the surveillance of its realm.
Now, the man sat by the gaping window of the loft in an old barn
fairly distant from his house. He quietly unscrewed the top of his coffee
thermos to refill his cup. Decades of experience had taught him to stay
part of the night, thus he had climbed up hours ago using braille and
familiarity in the noiseless dark. His rifle rested across his lap.
Eyes stained to penetrate the nights darkness. Pinpricks of stars
began fading as the eastern horizon grew less black. The blurred mass
along the creek wavered into individual tentacled shapes and further
into the bare-branched trees they were. Upright spears in the distance
slowly distinguished themselves as power poles. Post by post a fence
line hazed itself out of the field behind, the field itself crawling from a
light-absorbing ebony to a brown covering of winter grasses.
Ears were aware of hints of vibration barely called sound. A bird,
acres away, scolded the coming morning. A creak echoed from below,
as old barn wood stretched to the days waking temperatures. Miles
away, a truck hummed through the night. The mans own breathing,
slowed to a statues pace, whispered like ancient air from a cave. A ...
something ... made a single tick from out a long ways. Could it have
been brittle grass being brushed aside, one twig becoming two as it was
pushed into the ground, a tap of antler against branch?
The rising heat from the cup near his face was ignored. Coffee, straw,
the creek all were smells as the cup was eased down. Dried grain
lines of the wood could be felt by his skin as the cup reached the board.
Out the window, grasses glanced his way as air lightly mimicked a
breeze. Lines on the earth became stems of plants, specks became
leaves on the ground, brownish spots became cow leavings, and brown-
ish lines became ancient tire tracks. There he stood! The monarch was
in full pride. Huge shoulders supported the thick neck. His head bran-
dished the sculpted antlers that were his crown.
Years of raising the gun. Hours of sighting in. Minutes of easing the
trigger. The king heard the click. He stared, snorted in disgust and was
gone. The man smiled. He laid down the rifle and unsheathed his knife.
One more deep mark joined the scores of others on the barn wall next
to the window. Never a bullet, but always hunting at its best.

The Country Cupboard food
pantry and the Wall Community
Library are working together by
Feeding the Mind and Body. The
library has donated books the li-
brary board has deemed surplus to
the food pantry. The pantry will
then use the books in fundraising
opportunities.
The first major fundraising event
will be for the pantry to participate
in the Wall Community Craft Fair
held in November. At this event,
books can be purchased for a can of
food or a monetary donation. It will
be an opportunity for gift shopping,
for motels to provide reading mate-
rial for their guests, or adding to
personal collections.
The library storage capacity for
surplus books is all but non-exis-
tent. The library cannot sell the
books, but can donate them to a
nonprofit organization 501 (c3).
The library desires to partner with
another Wall community service
group that would benefit the li-
brary and the community.
This partnership benefits citi-
zens of Wall as well as those in
many adjacent rural areas. The li-
brary and pantry have been part-
ners since the pantry opened. A
basket of books has been made
available to pantry clients since it
opened in May 2010. Both entities
desire to serve their local citizens
to the fullest degree of their mis-
sions, to share their resources.
People can help their library,
food pantry and the community by
coming to the community craft fair,
November 4, by bringing a can of
food and walking away with a book
or two. Join the community in
Feeding the Mind and Body.

Philip Motor, in conjunction with Ford Motor Company, held a vehicle test driving
event, Friday, October 5, in which $20 per test drive was donated to the Philip
Volunteer Fire Department. Several types of vehicles cars and pickups were
available for inspection at the Philip Fire Hall parking lot. A free lunch was offered
to all licensed drivers who did a no-obligation test drive. Approximately 250 peo-
ple registered for test drives. The PVFD might use the funds toward purchasing a
new pumper truck, or other needed equipment. Shown above are licensed drivers
registering to test drive a vehicle. Below are Philip Motors Tyler Hauk, PVFD

Wednesday, October 3, Doug Hauks freshmen and sophomore classes were vis-
ited by two state FFA officers, Kelli Garry, state reporter, left, and Taylor Leonhardt,
state president. Both are freshmen at South Dakota State University, and are
earning six credit hours in communications skills through classroom visits, busi-
ness tours and legislative breakfasts. In Philip, they led interactive games that
included introducing people as if they were vegetables or pizza toppings, and
working among different groups to find missing Lego pieces to complete a teams
project. All this was to promote FFA. State FFA officers visit every FFA chapter in
South Dakota. These two are on a central swing through the state. Pretty active
year for these kids, said Hauk. We both like it a lot, the workshop aspect espe-
cially. We have different curriculum activities for different age groups on team-
work and trust, said Garry. Photo by Del Bartels

Pocket Gophers vs. Moles and
their Control
Pocket gophers and moles have
similarities, and distinct differences.
Both animals spend the majority of
their time below ground, and cause
homeowners headaches with their
burrowing activity. Pocket gophers
also cause problems for farmers and
ranchers, particularly in hayfields,
where the dirt mounds they create
interferes with hay harvest.
Determining which pest is in-
volved is important in implementing
a control method, and the best way
to do so is by the signs that can be
seen above ground. Often, the only
visible sign of pocket gophers is the
mounds they construct as they re-
turn below ground after their occa-
sional visits into the open air. Pocket
gopher mounds are generally fan or
kidney-shaped, as opposed to the
smaller, usually round mounds
made by moles. Pocket gopher bur-
rows are typically deep enough to re-
main largely undetected from the
soil surface, whereas at least some of
the burrows moles create show up as
undulating, raised runways.
Pocket gophers are rodents, and
therefore plant feeders, not only
causing damage and being a nui-
sance because of their mound build-
ing habits, but cause some direct loss
by feeding on the roots of plants,
somewhat on aboveground vegeta-
tion, and pulling vegetation into
their tunnels from below. They are
also known to damage plastic water
lines and electrical cables by chew-
ing on them.
Moles on the other hand, are not
rodents, but insectivores. Their diet
consists mainly of the insects, grubs,
and worms they find in the soil.
Moles are thought to damage roots
and tubers by feeding on them, but
rodents usually are to blame. Al-
though moles remove damaging in-
sects from lawns and gardens, their
burrowing habits are not viewed fa-
vorably.
Due to the moles exclusive diet of
insects, toxic grain baits are seldom
effective, although two poisons are
federally registered for use on them.
Pocket gophers however, being her-
bivores, can be controlled with poi-
son baits. The baits can be applied in
burrows by hand on a small scale, or
with a mechanical burrow builder if
dealing with a field scale infestation.
Fumigants are possible methods
of controlling both pocket gophers
and moles, but they have been
known to close off burrows so the fu-
migant cannot get to them. The fu-
migant may also move too slowly
through the burrow system to be ef-
fective. Carbon monoxide from auto-
mobile exhaust can be effective due
to its greater volume and pressure.
Fumigating can also be quite time-
consuming and labor intensive.
Due to their somewhat solitary
nature, and the fact that one pocket
gopher or one mole can construct an
extensive burrow system, trapping is
considered very successful for both
pests. For pocket gophers, trapping
is best for small areas and animals
not controlled with a poisoning con-
trol program. Because of somewhat
different habits and size, different
traps are intended for each pest.
Both gopher traps and mole traps
can be purchased at many hardware
stores.
There are also cultural and other
methods of minimizing damage from
both pocket gophers and moles. More
information on preventing and stop-
ping damage from pocket gophers,
moles and other wildlife can be ob-
tained from the Internet Center for
Wildlife Damage Management:

Pasture, rangeland and forage
insurance is available for 2013 in
South Dakota based on a rainfall
index.
Haying and grazing needs can be
covered against moisture shortages
using the pasture, rangeland and
forage rainfall index, said Matthew
Diersen, South Dakota State Uni-
versity extension risk and business
management specialist.
While producers would prefer to
be paid if they did not have forage,
the pasture, rangeland and forage
rainfall index relies on a close his-
torical relationship between rain-
fall timing and forage production
amounts, Diersen said. He ex-
plained that producers can guard
against low precipitation during in-
sured intervals for localized grids
specific to haying or grazing needs.
Rainfall is grid-level and not farm-
or ranch-level when measured.
November 15 is the deadline to
purchase or change coverage for
the 2013 calendar year.
Diersen explained that the pas-
ture, rangeland and forage rainfall
index coverage available in South
Dakota mirrors pasture rents (per
acre) for grazing.
The coverage is constant at
$204.23 per acre for haying. In the
event that precipitation is low dur-
ing an insured interval, producers
could use indemnity payments to
replace income or to purchase re-
placement feed," he said. "Unfortu-
nately the coverage does not in-
crease should prices move higher
during the insured year.
Encouraging indicators at the
state level suggest that the pas-
ture, rangeland and forage rainfall
index would work well to manage
forage production risk. In years
with below average rainfall in
South Dakota, the hay yield was
also often below average. In partic-
ular, notable drought years in
South Dakota (1976, 1988, 2002
and 2006) had sharply lower rain-
fall totals and hay yields.
According to the Census of Agri-
culture, there were 23 million acres
in permanent pasture and range-
land across South Dakota in 2007.
The pasture, rangeland and forage
rainfall has been available in South
Dakota since the 2007 crop year
using a vegetation index, but only
540,000 acres were insured with
pasture, rangeland and forage in
2012.
As detailed in the crop insur-
ance provisions, catastrophic cover-
age is not available for pasture,
rangeland and forage. Thus, pro-
ducers may also purchase Nonin-
sured Disaster Assistance Program
(NAP) coverage for the pasture,
rangeland and non-alfalfa hay-
land, Diersen said.
He said it is up to producers to
decide whether the insurance is
necessary and valuable. The high
subsidy rate likely gives the cover-
age value, but there are no ab-
solute guarantees that precip- ita-
tion shortages will always line up
with forage needs, he said.
Premiums for pasture, range-
land and forage rainfall index vary
by county, type, coverage level,
practice/interval, and grid location.
Producers have to pick a coverage
level from 70 to 90 percent of the
grid base. A default to consider
would be the 70 percent level as it
has the highest subsidy rate. Pro-
ducers also have to pick a produc-
tivity level from 60 percent to 150
percent of the county base. This al-
lows for intra-county variability in
soil type, grade, and forage type.
Diersen explained that there are
many ways to allocate coverage.
Not all acres need to be insured.
Selected acres are allocated across
11 two-month intervals. Intervals
cannot overlap a given month. At
most 70 percent and no fewer than
10 percent of acres can be in a sin-
gle interval," he said. "Ideally, a
producer will know key months
that a lack of precipitation would
result in less forage production.

www.igrow.org. Interested insur-
able parties can also contact a crop
insurance agent or go online to the
Risk Management Agency website
www.rma.usda.gov.

Due to this years drought, the
Natural Resources Conservation
Service has allowed an area-wide
variance for minimum residue re-
quirements on highly erodible
lands (HEL).
The variance applies to all coun-
ties in South Dakota except
Roberts County, if eligibility re-
quirements are met.
The area-wide variance would be
available for any untilled HEL
fields where residue levels are less
than required by the conservation
plans due to drought or because
residue has been harvested for for-
age (silage baled, grazed).
With the following exceptions,
the variance would not apply to
HEL fields that have been tilled
and have inadequate residue levels
since it is expected that tillage ac-
tivities be reduced or eliminated in
an attempt to ensure planned
residue levels are met.
Exceptions-variance would also
apply to tilled HEL fields if: A
cover crop or fall crop was planted
immediately after fall tillage. The
only tillage was due to spring ap-
plication of anhydrous ammonia
(with a narrow or low disturbance
shank on 30-inch or wider spac-
ings).
Again, the variance will only
apply if minimum residue levels
identified in the HEL compliance
plan are not met. HEL fields with
adequate residue levels would be
considered actively applying the
conservation plan and would not
need a variance.
For more information on the
area-wide variance for HEL, con-
tact Gerald Jasmer, state resource
conservationist, at 605-352-1234.

Friday, September 28, Somerset
Court had a trip to the ice cream
shoppe which is always a gala trip.
I also saw they were setting up ta-
bles in the hospitality area on sec-
ond floor for the fall festival.
My son, Leslie, arrived at Somer-
set Court Friday morning. He had
driven to Rapid City from Bend,
Ore. He made a trip to Philip
Thursday. We had a nice visit.
Thank you for your visit, Leslie.
My daughter-in-law, Barbara
Hansen, came and took me to see
the fall foliage in Spearfish
Canyon. The colors were just peak-
ing. The scenery was so grand with
the blue sky, the high rocky cliffs,
the pines, the colorful deciduous
trees and the red vines and bushes.
We took photos at Bridal Veil Falls
and at Roughlock Falls. It seems
like a miracle that there would be
water for the falls after such a dry
summer.
Next we toured the campus of
Black Hills State University at
Spearfish and had lunch. Thank
you, Barbara, for a pleasant trip.
Floy, Violet, Irene A., and Irene
C. played rummi-cube and Mildred
K., Addie, Mary Lou, and Ina
played pinochle.
Wayne Hansen, M.R. and Bar-
bara Hansen, Clay Hansen, and
Leslie joined Vivian at suppertime
at the Somerset Court guest dining
room. Thank you, kids, for getting
together.
In the Philip Pioneer Review, I
especially like the Grindstone
News by Mary Eide. Grindstone is
my old hometown. When I was a
kid, we would take the cream to
Grindstone where there was a
cream testing station. (My sister,
Cecil, worked there.) Pa would give
me a nickle. I would buy a flat Her-
shey chocolate bar. Pa always said,
Save some for another day. And
those little squares lasted all week.
Saturday, September 29, my son,
Leslie, and his friend, Larry Lurz,
came to visit in the morning. Leslie
played my piano for a while, then
we went down to the activity gar-
den and he played the piano there
until the fall festival started. Then
we went out to see the tables of
goods on display on all three floors
at Somerset Court.
At Somerset Court the place was
a buzzin with the fall festival.
Many business enterprises set up
tables of their wares and residents
and a good crowd of townspeople
came in to buy. Most exhibits had
freebies, such as pens, tape meas-
ures, squeeze balls, samples of cos-
metics and gift certificates. Somer-
set Court provided hot cider stirred
with a cinnamon stick, candy corn
and cookies.
Jasons daughter was with the
Rapid City Rebels softball team.
They were there selling taffy as a
fundraiser. Leslie gave a donation
to the team. One of the members of
the team was Cassidy Geerson,
granddaughter of Christine Auker,
who used to be my tablemate. Cas-
sidy kindly offered to help me see
Ariel Jacksons (my great-grand-
daughter) trip to Salerno, Italy, on
tumblr, another sort of blog or
Facebook thing. She found the com-
puter address so we could see those
scenes and also Ariels Facebook
page as well as the Facebook of
many of my other granddaughters.
That was fun for me. Thank you,
Cassidy. Cassidy said that she
would come over in a week or two
and find it for me again.
Leslie was flying back to Bend,
Ore., around noon. Thank you,
Leslie, and also Larry.
M.R. Hansen came for scrabble
and our new word was daube, a
braised meat stew. I was dismayed.
Everytime something new is de-
clared to be a legal word to use in
scrabble, the closer we are to the
end of scrabble as we know it. If
everything is a word, then there is
no challenge.
Thank you, Wanda Artz, for a
good newsy letter. Wanda and Ed
had been to Huron to a cemetery
association meeting and stopped by
De Smet to see our tree that we
planted in year 2000 in the Kings-
bury County courthouse grounds.
My parents, Rolla and Effie (Ben-
nett) Palmer were married in that
courthouse in the year 1900.
At Somerset Court be sure to see
resident Nellie Morses display of
wood carvings and painting and
dressed dolls that she has made.
Congratulations, Nellie. Thanks
for sharing your artistic handi-
work.
September 29, Somerset Court
resident Myrna Polorney had com-
pany at breakfast. Malina Diede,
Myrnas sister of Yankton, and
Linda Polorney, Myrnas daughter-
in-law from Grand Rapids, Mich.,
Jim Pokorney, Myrnas son from
Grand Rapids, Mich., who were
here for the wedding of Myrnas
granddaughter (Jamie Pokorney to
Jeremy Pond) at Our Lady of Per-
petual Help Cathedral in Rapid
City. There was a dance held later.
Mary Klauck Rule, daughter of
Somerset Court resident Mary
Klauck, was finding a computer
site (The Caring Bridge) for mom.
The Caring Bridge offers comfort
and support for friends and rela-
tives of cancer patients.
Hey, I had a jolly email from my
daughter, Carol, in Colorado
Springs, Colo. She told me a new
word. If you are lissatrichous, you
have no curls in you hair.
We had church with Gary Zeller
as speaker and Jack Humke at the
piano. Cincy Zeller came along
with Gary. We had the How Great
Thou Art. Good music to express
the sentiment. It can thunder. And
we sang, What a Friend We Have
In Jesus. That was one of the first
Sunday School songs I remember.
Gary used Daniel 9:3-17 as a basis
for his homily.
After church, a bunch of us
played a little whist and maybe
bridge, anyway something in the
tea room.
In the late afternoon, M.R.
Hansen came over and we tied at a
276 game of scrabble. Then we
went over to his son, Claytons, on
Iowa street for a big steak supper.
Thanks, kids, for having me over.
We played a little Texas holdem.
Tuesday, October 2, 2012, at
Somerset Court, we had resident
council. Sandy presided and gave
us a review of the highlights for Oc-
tober. Some of my favorites are
scheduled like pancake breakfast
out, picnic in the park, an anniver-
sary gala dinner and dance with
music of Tom and Diane. We may
have guests for supper, but be sure
to let Kammi know how many
guests you expect. There is also
quilting scheduled. We will be
building spook houses October 24
and there will be a monster mash
Halloween party where we can
wear funny stuff.
We will have a total evacuation
practice sometime in October. We
will be notified a day or two in ad-
vance. Several residents offered
compliments on the food service.
Marge Self went to the Club for
Boys appreciation gala October 1
and received commendation for her
volunteer work.
My daughter, Vinnie, sent a
bookmark for her new book, Art,
Wine and Bullets. She had a book
launch October 6. It is so rare to re-
ceive a handwritten letter in ink on
paper and sent through the mail.
Thank you, Vinnie.
Jane Bunch and her sister, Dot
Busfield, are moving in to Somer-
set Court. Jane had once lived at
Aladdin, Wyo.
Wednesday, October 3, the wind
howled around the crenellations at
Somerset Court. We had cookies in
the activity garden, plus tea and
hot coffee. A good bunch showed
up. Thank you for the delicious
cookies in several varieties. Agnes,
Joyce, Warren and Vivian had a
game of scrabble.
After lunch, student nurse Crys-
tal Carnes, who is studying with
South Dakota State University, in-
terviewed Somerset Court resi-
dent, Vivian Hansen. Crystal is in
her third year of the nursing pro-
gram.
Thank you to Ravellette Publica-
tions for your kind note.
Thank you to Darlene Baye,
Philip, (my next door neighbor for
over 35 years) for your good, newsy
letter. She has been enjoying the
pretty trees. Darlene mentioned a
little rain, .22 there at Philip.
First rain for many a moon.
M.R. Hansen came for scrabble
and we took up a new word, rex-
king or rex-an animal with a single
layer of wavy hair.
Crazy Horse Monument put out
a colorful brochure. I wanted to
share mine with other residents, so
it is on the coffee table by the fire-
place.
Monday morning our medic re-
ported that he had frost on his
windshield. Kay Daugherty (Mil-
dred Youngs comfort keeper) re-
ported about four inches of snow up
by Johnson Siding or Hisega.
Somerset Court resident, Ken
Monette, stopped by at breakfast
and said he is enjoying M.R.
Hansens book, Mongolia, Where
Everything is Free Range.
Somerset Court resident, Jane
Bunch, goes to a writers group at
the senior citizens center. She gets
a ride with Somerset Court driver,
Gary. Maybe we could ride along.
Happy 98th birthday to Lois
Price Shearn, formerly of Philip.
Lois now lives in The Grayson
House, #104, 7509 E. Long Look
Drive, Prescott, Ariz. Lois had lived
at the Silverleaf in Philip.

erset Court, made my bed nice and
smooth. She even turned the mat-
tress end for end. Thank you,
Frances.
Friday, we had cooking with
Sandy. Susan and Shawn were
there to help. The recipe was for
cherry delicious. You need two cans
of cherry pie mix, one box white
cake mix, one cup margarine or
butter, melted. Smooth out the
cherries in a baking pan and then
sprinkle the cake mix evenly over
them. Drizzle with melted butter
and bake. You may add slivered al-
monds on top if you wish.
I left to have my hair rolled up,
and later Sandy brought me a dish
of the dessert. Thank you, Sandy.
Thank you to my daughter,
Carol, Colorado Springs, Colo., for
the treat of getting my hair fixed.
In the afternoon, Lois Pierce

Sharon Renee Ellwein, 44,
passed away Monday October 1,
2012, at Dougherty Hospice House,
Sioux Falls, after a year-long battle
with cancer.
Sharon was born December 6,
1967, in Philip, S.D., to Robert and
Dianne (Deuchar) Anderson. She
grew up on the Manila Ranch

rural Plum Creek Elementary
School. She graduated from Philip

worked at Lynns Dakotamart,
most recently as the general mer-
chandise manager. On February 2,
2006, she married Shane Ellwein
in Las Vegas, Nev.
Sharon helped with the blood
drive every year while at Dakota-
mart. She organized the annual
DCB Cornhole Tournament to
honor of the Kudos Award in
Dalless name at Philip High
School. She loved fishing with
Shane, camping, and backpacking
in the Big Horns. She most enjoyed
spending time with family, friends,
and her two dogs, Rudy and Riley.
The nieces and nephews loved vis-
iting Auntie Sharon and she al-
ways had a treasure for them to
take home. Sharon never thought
twice about jumping in her car to
go out of town for the weekend. She
loved going to Deadwood, Las
Vegas, Mexico, and Denver. She
will be remembered for being a
lively, fun, outgoing, and very
courageous person. Her smile and
laughter will be forever missed.

Joyce F. Dykema________________________________
Joyce F. Dykema, age 79 of
Murdo, S.D., died October 3, 2012,
at the Golden Living Center in
Pierre.
Joyce Finck was born to Waldo
and Clara (Jordan) Finck on Feb-
ruary 12, 1933, in Okaton.
She married Herman Boyd
Dykema on November 27, 1953,
and to this union three daughters
were born, Sherry, Cindy and Lora.
Joyce loved life and was known for
her fun personality. Joyce espe-
cially loved to tease the kids and
they loved to tease her back. Those
same kids (and you know who you
are) would scare her knowing how
jumpy she was. Adults and kids
alike made a special stop at Joyces
house at Halloween, with lights
and siren (and you know who you
are) for her popcorn balls. Joyce
also made the best bread and
chocolate fudge and she often
shared her baked goods with family
and friends. Crocheting was a pas-
time for Joyce and she enjoyed
sharing her handiwork.
Joyce loved going to bowling
tournaments except for the times
her partners angered or embar-
rassed her (and you know who you
are).
Joyce had many talents and she
used these in several of the jobs she
performed throughout the years.
She especially like working at
Deans Market where she could be
found by the sound of her whistle.
She always said there was no song
she just liked to whistle. Joyce has
done everything from driving com-
bines at harvest, driving semi-
trucks long haul, to milking cows,
ironing, baking doughnuts, and
loved painting apartments.
You would often find Joyce
whistling, whether she was at work
or at play. This reflected Joyces
love for life. Joyce will be missed by
her family and many friends.
Survivors include three daugh-
ters, Sherry Philips and her hus-
band, Bill, of Murdo, Lora Gibbs
and her husband, Brett, of Au-
dobon, Iowa, and Cindy Jost and
her husband, Mike, of Murdo; four
grandchildren, Brooke and Susie
Jost, and Georgie and Billy Gibbs;
one brother, Kenny Finck of
Newell; five sisters, Irene Brink of
Murdo, Alice Stroppel and her hus-
band, George, of Midland, Betty
Block and her husband, Dick, of
Midland, Ironis Poppe of Pierre,
and Norma Oldenberg and her hus-
band, Jim, of Philip; and a host of
other relatives and friends.
Joyce was preceded in death by
her husband, Herman, on May 13,
2006; two brothers, Robert Finck
and Emil Finck, and one sister,
Bonna Lindquist.
Services were held Friday, Octo-
ber 5, at the Methodist Church in
Murdo, with Pastor Rick Hazen of-
ficiating.
Music was provided by Lois
Jaide, pianist. Ushers were Barb
Venard and Linda Kessler. Pall-
bearers were Marvin Kessler, Joe
Connot, Gary Block, Dean Block,
Brad Block and Dean Faber. Regis-
ter book attendants were Wanda
Olson and Jill Venard.
Graveside services were held
Friday at the Black Hills National
Cemetery near Sturgis.
Rush Funeral Home of Philip
was in charge of the arrangements.
A memorial has been estab-
lished.
Earl E. Helms_________________________________
Earl E. Helms, age 61, of Rapid
City, S.D., died Wednesday, Octo-
ber 3, 2012, in Rapid City.
Earl Erving Helms was born No-
vember 17, 1950, in Wall, the
fourth child of Erving and Eliza-
beth (Eisenbraun) Helms. As a
young child Earl was very enthusi-
astic and ambitious. At the age of
five, he became very ill and from
this he became mentally chal-
lenged, and had to learn many
things over again. In 1963, for med-
ical reasons, Earl moved to Red-
field State Hospital and School.
While there, he learned many
things and enjoyed working in the
workshop, going to dances, movies,
bowling, and horse riding. In the
summers he would enjoy coming
back home to the ranch and visit-
ing friends and relatives.
In 2010, Earl got the opportu-
nity to fulfill a dream of moving to
Black Hills Works, where he be-
came a resident and learned to
know many new people and work
in the workshop. Here he was very
helpful and liked by the staff and
residents. Here he enjoyed going
bowling, camping, football games,
and riding horses at SunCatchers
Riding Academy.
He passed away suddenly on
Wednesday, October 3, 2012, and
will be dearly missed by family,
friends, and staff.
Grateful for having shared his
life are three sisters Ester Johan-
nesen and her husband, Gene, of
Wall, Edith Eisenbraun and her
husband, Aaron, of Rapid City, and
Eileen Niederwerder and her hus-
band, Greg, of Rapid City; two
brothers, Eugene Helms and his
wife, Glenda, of Creighton and
Elden Helms and his wife, Lillian,
of Creighton; 11 nieces and
nephews; and a host of other rela-
tives and friends.
Earl was preceded in death by
his parents.

October 6, at the First Lutheran
Church in Wall, with Pastor Curtis
Garland officiating.

Mahon, Eli Helms and Wade Gei-
gle.

Midland News
Those beautiful fall leaves weve
been enjoying are for the most part
on the ground after those hard
freezes. So, you know what that
means? You guessed it, its time to
get the rake out! We had a few
drops of rain earlier; its kind of
teasing us, making us think rain.
With the sky overcast and having a
great massage earlier today I am
having a bit of trouble getting at
the news. Im thinking a good nap
would be just the ticket. Not sure
just how much news Ill have this
week. Ive called some folks but
they havent any news! Everyone is
busy getting fall work done as old-
man-winter will be nipping at our
heels before we know it.
The good news this week is that
Mary Parquet is out of the hospital
and at home here in Midland. She
and her husband Tom are very
happy to be home. Their little
granddaughter, Remington, wont
have so far to go to see Grandpa
and Grandma. Remington and her
folks Jake and Kristi live at White-
wood, so it was quite a trip from
there to Sioux Falls. Our thoughts
and prayers continue to be with
Mary and her family that each day
she is stronger and wishing her
Gods speed in healing. Good to
have you home Mary and Tom!
Our sympathies to the family of
Dorothy (Dennis) Seidler who
passed away at the age of 87. There
was a good turnout at the funeral
service. Among those there were a
number of the Dennis families from
the Rapid City area and Dorothys
half-sister Anna Marie (Dennis)
Johnson of Sioux Falls. Some time
ago I wrote a history of Bob and
Dorothy Seidler. It is something I
enjoy doing as it is always interest-
ing to learn their story. Jerry re-
members one particular time when
Bob and Dorothy were fixing fence.
Dorothy was one of those people
who always wanted the fences
tight. She and Bob were diligently
working at getting it tight when all
at once the wire snapped in to and
down they went, one on top of the
other. Funny the things you re-
member!
We wish to express our sympa-
thies to the family of Joyce (Finck)
Dykema. Joyce has a number of
relatives in the Midland area, sis-
ters Betty Block and Alice Stroppel
being two of them. I remember
Jerry hauling gas to the Texaco
station at Okaton for many years
when Joyces sister, Irene and her
husband Clifford Brink had it. We
have a lot of good memories of that
time.
Heading for Bismarck, N.D., on
Friday were Jerry and Joy Jones,
the Trapp family, the Schrempps,
Neil Jones, Cindy and Zak Sinkey
and Cody Jones. Codys wife, Au-
drey, was unable to go as she is the
assistant volleyball coach at Ft.
Pierre and they were having a tri-
angular volleyball tournament in
Ft. Pierre that weekend. Scott,
Lani and Molly of Devils Lake,
N.D., joined them in Bismarck. Jill
(Jones) Sheldon and three kids of
Bismarck were also there. Scotts
mom and his brother and family of
Watford, N.D., were also there. The
occasion was to celebrate Mollys
eighth birthday. It was a good time
and everyone headed for their
homes on Sunday. Happy Birth-
day, Molly!
Sonny Merkle, of Seattle, Wash.,
arrived in Midland on Saturday,
September 29, to visit with his sis-
ters and families. Verona and Bob
Evans hosted supper Saturday
evening. Also there were Ernie and
Laurel Nemec and Kathy Tolton.
Verona Evans, Kathy Tolton and
Laurel Nemec are his sisters. On
Sunday after church, everyone
gathered at Ernie and Laurel
Nemec's home for dinner. Monday
the group went to Pierre to view
sites at the Capitol and had a steak
dinner out provided by Kathy.
Tuesday, Sonny drove to Spearfish,
and visited his brother, Ronnie and
Janet Merkle, and family. He flew
out of Rapid City that evening to
Seattle.
Ernie and Laurel Nemec made a
trip to Sioux Falls on Thursday,
October 4. They went out for sup-
per that evening to celebrate
grandson Kendall Larson's birth-
day. On Friday, Ernie and Laurel
attended a Grandparents Day at
grandson Josiah Thompson's
school, Central Christian Elemen-
tary. After a short program they
visited Josiah's second grade room.
Josiah's other grandparents, Mike
and Judy Thompson, who live in
Arizona, were able to be there and
were awarded a plant for being the
grandparents who had come the
furthest. Mike and Judy will spend
a few days visiting with their son
Robert, Becky, and Josiah Thomp-
son. Becky Thompson teaches one
of the first grade rooms there.
Saturday morning, Ernie and
Laurel's grandson, Logan Larson,
participated in a flag football game
on the Harrisburg High School
football field. Along with Ernie and
Laurel and Todd, Barby and
Kendall Larson were Terry, Laura
and Jennifer Nemec, Dell Rapids.
It is Tuesday morning and I am
back at the news! We did get a lit-
tle more rain last night, not much,
but a little more then we have had.
At the beginning of my news col-
umn I had written about having a
great massage Monday morning
and feeling the need for a nap.
Well, just between you and me, I
had a couple of naps. Was trying to
get my act together to work at the
news and finally gave it up and
went to bed. I had an awesome
nights sleep eight and half
hours! Now I realize for some that
may not seem like a big deal, but
for someone who has trouble sleep-
ing, it was awesome. I rarely talk
about the fact that I have rheuma-
toid and scoliosis, as talking about
it doesnt change anything and
most people have their own issues.
And so, why am I writing about it
in my news column? It is because I
have learned of the importance of
massage therapy and when you
find a good one, it is truly a bless-
ing. My rheumatologists have told
me about the importance of mas-
sage therapy. Im a believer! In
writing about my own experience,
my prayer is that it may be of help
to someone else.
Prerry Saucerman and her mom,
Marlin Evans, went to Rapid City
Friday for the Rapid City Christian
schools homecoming festivities.
Jadd and Jaya Evans go to that
school and their parents are Jack
and Jill Evans. They lived in Mid-
land for a time and the kids went
to the Midland school. Jack is Mar-
lins son and Prerrys brother and
Jill is the daughter of Fuzz and
Bonnie Martin. Jadd is a sopho-
more and played in the football
game against Edgemont, making it
exciting was that Rapid City Chris-
tian won the game. Jaya is a senior
and was homecoming queen, which
is always exciting when you are in
high school. Prerry mentioned that
Geno and the late Effie Hunts
grandchildren, Josh, Jordan and
Zeb Hunt, also go to Rapid City
Christian. Their parents are Jim
and Joni Hunt. Josh was also a
player in the football game. Many
of us in this area remember Effie as
she was in the Midland school sys-
tem for many years.
The annual church dinners are
fast approaching. Trinity Lutheran
Church in Midland has their lute-
fisk supper Wednesday, October
17; Deep Creek Church has their
lutefisk supper Saturday, October
27 and St. William Catholic
Church has their turkey dinner on
Sunday, November 4. Not only do
you get good food, there is a lot of
good visiting as well. So be watch-
ing for the ads, go out and enjoy
good food and good visiting at
events that have been going on for
so many years.
Midland Market had a successful
summer and our thanks to Julie
Schwalm who was the coordinator.
Others helped as well, but it takes
someone to be in charge. Not only
did folks have a chance to sell their
wares, but it was a good time of vis-
iting, as well. And different folks
had the makings for a meal for
those who came to eat a bite. And
thanks to Pastor Andy Blye and
Morris Daly for their music enter-
tainment. And the different themes
throughout the summer added a lot
to the Midland Market event. For
as hot as it was all summer, the
evenings would often times cool off
enough to make it comfortable and
able to be held at the Midland City
Park, which everyone enjoyed the
most. Thanks to everyone who took
the time and all the work that goes
into doing something like Midland
Market.
Mary Lou (Foster) Wallner,
Ramsey, Minn., sent me some pic-
tures she had taken at Midlands
free day. She and her husband,
Jerry, was in Midland for the free
day activities, as were a number of
other Foster family relatives. Mid-
lands first free day was in 1955.
Janice Bierle was in college that
year and remembers her mom,
Pearl Madsen, writing her a letter
and telling her about what a fun
day it was. And even though Mid-
land, like all small towns, is not
what it used to be as businesses
close and things change, they still
put on a good parade. Mary Lou
had enclosed a news item of Mid-
land from her sister, Jessie Mae
Brewer, Black Hawk. Jessie Mae
and her husband, Johnny, were
also at Midlands free day. The
news item and picture was from
the Sunday, October 3, 1999, edi-
tion of the Rapid City Journal. It
was of a street scene of Midland in
1909. There are a number of build-
ings in the picture and two build-
ings with names on them; one has
J. C. Russell Sells Everything he
was Charlie to everyone that knew
him and on the other was M. Dar-
mody Hardware the M stood for
Mike. There were even a few folks
walking down the wooden sidewalk
out front of the buildings. Love
those pictures, but always feel a bit
saddened also, as you see what
towns like Midland had been at one
time. Those folks believed in towns
like Midland, and put in a lot of
hard work to make it into the town
it was to become. One cant help
but wonder has our generation
lost the will to dream, to work to-
gether to make things better? I be-
lieve we have in a lot of ways! In
that 1909 picture of Midland, the
writer went on to write, All of the
buildings on Main Street in Mid-
land have either been torn down or
burned, with the exception of the
bank building on the extreme right
and the hotel, now a bed and
breakfast, at the far end of the
street on the left. The bank, built in
1909, is now classified as a South
Dakota Historical Site. As most of
you already know, the bank build-
ing is no longer, it was becoming
unsafe to leave standing as the
bricks were beginning to crumble
and so Petoske Construction was
hired to tear it down. I still miss
that old bank building, there was
something majestic about it as it
stood tall and inside was beautiful
with its marble and beautiful old
time features. The hotel is still here
and is being run by Kathy Jensen
of Sioux City, Iowa. You can still
rent a room for the night, get a
good massage, or take a hot min-
eral bath. And so goes my walk
down memory lane! Thanks Mary
Lou and Jessie Mae for the bit of
history of Midland.

The senior citizens met at the
senior center on October, 1, 2012,
with 10 members present. Presi-
dent Kandus Woitte called the
meeting to order and led in the flag
salute. The minutes of the Septem-
ber meeting were read and ap-
proved. The treasurers report was
given. George Stroppel moved to
approve the report, Alice Stroppel
seconded the motion and it carried.
The bulletin board was done.
Three cards were sent. Mainte-
nance, the men moved the tables
and chairs around to prepare for
free day. The Stanley County His-
torical Society and the Midland
Museum will hold their combined
yearly meeting at the center the
last Sunday of October, October 28.
We will discuss the soup and sand-

It is time to close my column for
another week! It continues to be
cloudy and reports are there may
be a better chance for rain this
weekend. Lets hope the report be-
comes a reality! Sunday Jerry and
I attended the turkey dinner at
Our Lady of Victory Catholic
Church in Kadoka. Jerrys cousin,
Betty VanderMay, is staying at the
nursing home in Kadoka and told
us our granddaughter was working
at the nursing home that weekend.
And so we went over to see Joanna
before heading home. Joanna is the
daughter of our son, Jim and Car-
men Nemec. She is in her third
year at School of Mines in Rapid
City, worked at the Kadoka Nurs-
ing Home last summer and got
some hands on experience at the
Philip clinic. She is working toward
being a radiologist so enjoyed her
experiences of last summer.
It is no secret I enjoy reading
books! I just finished reading Home
to Holly Springs by Jan Karon. She
is the bestselling author of the Mit-
ford Series. For those of you who
may not be familiar with this se-
ries, it is about a bit of a quaint fel-
low by the name of Father Timothy
Kavanagh. You cant help but
laugh at some of the situations he
finds himself in and yet there is
some truth and some heartwarm-
ing tales to his story. In this book
Jan Karon takes her celebrated
Mitford character to territory he
has long avoided, the uncharted
territory of family, giving us a
spellbinding and poignant narra-
tive laced with wisdom and forgive-
ness only a trip back home can in-
spire. Thats what I like about
reading books, they take you on a
journey and on that journey you
find there are lessons to be learned.
Of course I cant go into all the book
told, youll have to check it out at
the Midland library and read it for
yourself. But, a part of it I would
like to share with you. It has to do
with life! In the book it tells of a
quote from a lady that meant so
much to one of the characters in
the book: She had long accepted
the fact that happiness is like swal-
lows in spring. It may come and
nest under your eaves or it may
not. You cannot command it. When
you expect to be happy, you are not,
and when you dont expect to be
happy, there is suddenly Easter in
your soul, though it be mid-winter.
I have found that in life God gives
us those unexpected blessings in a
number of different ways, He ab-
solutely does. Have a good week, be
watchful and continue to pray for
rain.

National Newspaper Week is an
opportunity, and responsibility, for
all newspaper people to promote
our newspapers and our industry.
We know it, but it is heartening
to see affirmation of the fact in re-
cent national survey results re-
leased by the Pew Internet Project
about how Americans get their
news. The survey found that small-
town residents and rural residents
are more likely to rely on tradi-
tional news platforms such as tele-
vision and newspapers to get local
news. Newspapers are especially
important to them for civic infor-
mation.
The survey found that small-
town Americans prefer the local
newspaper for a long list of infor-
mation, including local weather,
crime, community events, schools,
arts and culture, taxes, housing,
zoning, local government and social
services. Residents of smaller
towns are also the most likely to
worry about what would happen if
the local newspaper no longer ex-
isted.

Blast from the Past
From the archives of the Pioneer Review
Memories are great when it
comes to quilts. I have my favorite
ones. One is a star quilt that a Na-
tive American from Dupree, whose
12-year-old son was in the nursing
home had made. My sister came
and saw it and asked if she could
quilt it for me. She quilted it on
white and it was the first quilt she
had ever quilted. It turned out
great with very small stitches in a
diamond pattern.
In 1951, when we were first mar-
ried, Kenneths mother gave us a
quilt that she had made. It was
made of blocks with gold embroi-
dered flowers on white and she had
quilted it so pretty. It was quilted
on a gold background.
Then there was the quilt made of
small blocks with the blocks stuffed
with nylon stockings. It was on our
bed for many years and looked
worse for the wear, but it did its job
of keeping us warm in the many
cold winters.
Then there was another one that
Gladys Smith made for Marvin
after my mother passed away. She
had blocks cut out and Gladys took
them and made a quilt and one day
she drove over and gave it to Vicki
and Marvin. It hangs over their
banister and whenever I go over
there I see it, I am reminded of the
dresses that my mom wore through
the years.
Then there is the two afghans
that Pete Weeks made for me and
Kenneth. There are also two that
Lucille Carstensen made for us.
My mother did a lot of crocheting
and she made a lot of doilies. She
also made me a tablecloth and bed-
spread, as well as a bedspread for
my nephew, Vernon Montgomery.
She never got to finish Vernons
prior to her passing and it was a
long time before Vernon found a
lady who could finish it for him.
That lady crocheted so like my
mother that you couldnt tell where
one quit and the other started. Now
most of these have been passed
down to Marvin and Vicki and they
will someday pass them on to their
children.
I am sure that everyone has sim-
ilar memories and those memories
leave a wonderful heritage for us.
Quilts are still being made today
for the next generation to hold dear
and as a memory of who their an-
cestors were and what they con-
tributed to the world.
We all like to keep memories,
both men and women. What about
those old shop tools that dad used
or his favorite tractor or pickup?
Some people might call it hoarding,
but we all know they are called
keepsakes and memories. They
leave us a heritage we are proud to
call ours. So keep on preserving
those memories as you are the one
who will keep history alive and
well for generations to come.
Beth Smith was in Tennessee to
visit her daughter Melann and
Jerry Nicholson. She went espe-
cially so she could attend her
granddaughter, Gabbies grandpar-
ents day at school.
We need to go away from home
at times to spend some time with
those who dont live as close as the
others get to who live closer to
home.
Beth just arrived back and she
and Mel took her dad, Lee
Schoniger, to Logan, Utah, to the
wedding of Andrew Schoniger. An-
drew is Lees grandson, the son of
Bruce Schoniger. Mike, who was
also at the wedding, brought his
dad, Lee, back to Philip and to visit
for a while.
Mel and Beth continued on to
Richfield, Idaho, where Mels
grandparents lived and they col-
lected some family history while
there. They looked up a cousin, the
Tim Sanders family, and spent
some time with Lana Sanders who
teaches kindergarten. They found
out that Beths family and Lanas
children both attend the same col-
lege at Logan.
Mel and Beth returned through
Yellowstone State Park and then
visited Mels sister, Colleen and
Ken Simmons in Montana. They
came back through Lemmon, S.D..
and parts of North Dakota before
arriving home. They said it was a
very enjoyable vacation. Now, they
said it is back to work for them
both.
In talking to Tammie Thorson,
she said that she had her family
back home again after they were in
the Rapid City Regional Hospital
after a car accident last week on
the Lewison corner. They came
home the last of this week, but will
have to be home for a while to con-
tinue to heal before returning to
school. The two youngest girls,
Rosie and Jessie, were not hurt. It
was the two oldest girls and
Franky who got hurt.
Marvin and Vicki Eide left for
Gillette, Wyo., Thursday, October
4, to attend a football game to
watch Taegan play. They returned
Friday and also brought some
things back for Christa Fitch.
Friday, October 5, Colby Fitch
came early with his dad who was
combining corn here. He came to
the house and had breakfast with
me and visited a couple of hours till
his dad needed him in the field.
When he was not helping his dad,
his did a little hunting on the
creek. He was trying to give his dog
some training.
Trevor finished up with the corn
here and guess it did pretty well for
as dry as it was this summer. I was
surprised by how much it made as
I watched many trucks filled with
corn leave the field.
This week, Vicki Eide attended
some football games at Philip and
watched Keagan play.

Mike and Judy Melvin were at
Jim Oldenbergs this weekend
andthey all attended the 90th
birthday party for Dorothy Ham-
mon in Wall Sunday, October 7.
They left to visit some friends and
relatives in the Black Hills and
planned to return to Jim and
Normas Wednesday.
Marvin and Vicki Eide fixed
fence so they could graze some
ground they hadnt used for cattle
for several years and the fence was
about shot, as you might say. I am
sure that it is not ones favorite
jobs, besides it is just plain hard
work.
Several from our area attended
the funeral of Virginia Burns. Vir-
ginia touched a lot of people in her
many years here in Philip. A lot of
her students were in attendance.
She trained well a lot of future gen-
erations to be good citizens of what-
ever community they settled in and
many have stayed here in this area.
Our sympathy goes out to Norma
Oldenberg and Kim Deuter and all
the Fink families in the loss of their
sister and aunt, Joyce (Fink)
Dykema. Her funeral was held in
Murdo Friday, October 5.

Lady Scotties junior varsity, C teams
by Coach Ralph Kroetch
September 6, clear, calm, sunny
and 30 degrees, made for a perfect
day for one of the areas largest,
most highly contested B division
cross country races of the year.
Twelve teams brought over 120
athletes together for the final reg-
ular season competition. Everyone
looked to see how their school team
might stack up at next weeks Re-
gion 5B finals.
Philip holds its youth run first.
This is for any athlete interested in
running 1,200 meters and is not
competing on a junior varsity or
varsity team. The competition
varies from untrained grade school
to highly trained junior high stu-
dents. Philip had seven of the 27
entered Ethan Ferguson and
Ethan Burnett in the boys race,
and Dylin Terkildsen, Jasmine
Ferguson, Mallory Vetter, Josie
Rush and Jaida Haynes in the
girls race. E. Ferguson led the
Philip boys with a time of 6:32,
with Burnett at 7:19. The girls
were led by Terkildsen at 6:15, J.
Ferguson at 6:25, Haynes at 6:30
and Rush at 6:31.
The boys varsity led the high
school competition with 35 boys on
the start line. Nelson Holman,
Blake Martinez, Tristen Rush,
Keegan Burnett and Garrett Snook
filled the roster. The team em-
ployed the same relaxed start they
have had all year. As the field
breaks down into small groups con-
nected by long lines, the boys began
to work their way toward the front.
Rush and Holman began in a group
of eight runners, all looking for the
top spot, with Martinez, Burnett
and Snook just a few spots back.
At approximately 2.5 miles,
Rush had moved up to challenge
Walls Austin Huether for the
fourth position. Rush later said,
Austin saw me before I got up on
him and took off. With that, the
final sprint began early for both,
with Holman keeping both in his
sight. They all finished strong, as
Huether, who placed fifth in the
2011 state meet, took fourth place
and with Rush just four seconds
back for fifth at 18:32. Holman took
sixth at 18:56. Martinez over took
White Rivers Tomas Martinez in
the final meters to take the 14th
place medal at 19:46. Snook and
Burnett worked together through
much of the race, but the sight of
the finish line brought out one of
the best sprint battles of the day,
with Snook edging his teammate at
20:55 over Burnetts 20:56 for the
26th and 27th positions. Friendly
rivalry at its best!
The boys team points were
Dupree 19, Todd County 22,
Philip 24, Rapid City Christian
29, Stanley County 51, White
River 53, Lyman County 64 and
Wall 69.
The Scotties are looking for a
team berth at the state meet. The
regional race to determine state
qualifiers was held on the Philip
course, Wednesday, October 10.
The top 20 individuals and the top
three teams will move on to the
state meet at the Broadland Golf
Course in Huron, October 21.
For the Philip girls, this season
got long a week ago. Ellie Coyle
needed to sit out most training and
all competition until the regional
meet. A hip flexor problem side-
lined Holy Iwan. A family trip took
Allison Pekron out of todays com-
petition. Eighth grader Shay Hand
got to try it on her own. She under-
stood the importance of this solo
run, as she went against many of
the regions finest to see what she
might expect next Wednesday.
Hand chose a very fast start, run-
ning in the lead group early on. She
found herself in a position she had
not been in this year, having early
placing on runners she had never
beaten before. Now she ran to hold
her spot. Hand went on to earn the
14th place medal, while running
easily her best 4,000 meter time
this year at 17:15.
Damian Bartels and Conner
Dekker were excited and a bit blue,
as they readied themselves for one
of their finest races of the year, and
their final regular season race.
Both had made comments at prac-
tice that the season was drawing to
a close all to soon. Dekker lead the
Scotties out for the first time, run-
ning at the front of the field of 27
runners. Bartels was just a few
yards back. Bartels went on to earn
the fourth place medal and a per-
sonal best by 20 seconds, at 16:37.
Dekker, also with his best 4,000
meter time of the year at 17:16,
earned the 11th place medal.

In a Philip home game against
the Lyman Raiders, the Scotties
football team lost 28-50.
From the start of the coldest
weather game so far this season,
the Scotties fought the cold ball,
unsuccessful attempts at ball re-
covery, slipped tackles and just
plain bad luck. The first quarter
took a quick downturn for Philip
when, with 8:54 still on the clock,
Lymans ball carrier rushed 69
yards for a touchdown. A Raider
then caught a pass to get the two-
point conversion. A short, squiggle
kick from Lyman resulted in a fum-
ble and Lyman possession on their
own 17-yard line. Philips penalties
put the Raiders on the six, and a
Lyman pass play got into the end
zone, followed by a successful con-
version play.
The Scotties then got on the
scoreboard with a 40-yard run by
Paul Guptill. The extra point at-
tempt failed. Three minutes re-
mained in the quarter when
Lyman competed a 19-yard pass
play for another touchdown. After
a successful conversion play, the
score was 6-24.
The second quarter saw punts,
blocked punts, touchdown runs re-
turned because of penalties, bad
snaps and fumble recoveries, but
no action on the scoreboard.
The second half started out with
hope for the Scotties. The clock
read 8:12 when DeJong rushed six
yards for a touchdown. Cassidy
Schnabel caught a DeJong pass for
the conversion points. That hope
was then hit hard when a Lyman
punt was touched by Philip, but not
covered. Lyman got possession,
then on their next play ran 34
yards for the goal. The extra point
attempt failed. Philip fought to ad-
vance, but had to settle for a 48-
yard punt that put Lyman way
back. The long punt was for
naught, when Lyman then got a
87-yard touchdown run. The con-
version was good. Scotties Guptill
retaliated with an 83-yard kick re-
turn for a touchdown, with Schn-
abel making good the conversion.
The score was 22-38.
Ending the third quarter on a
hard drive, Lyman started the
fourth quarter with a seven-yard
scoring run. The extra point at-
tempt failed. Retaliation was the
word, when Guptill got his hands
on the Lyman kick, and ran 83
yards for what would be the Scot-
ties final score. The extra point at-
tempt failed. Philip gave Lyman a
squiggle kick, and after several
plays Lyman crossed the goal line
with a one-yard rush. The extra
point attempt failed. Lyman
stripped the Scotties of the ball,
even punted to the 11-yard line and
caught an interception, but could
not hurt the Scotties enough to ad-
vance the Lyman score. The
Raiders finally kneeled away the
clock to end the game 28-50.
Philip racked up 40 running
plays for a total of 228 yards, com-
pared to Lymans 39 for 368. Seven
Scottie passes for a total of 54
yards compared to the Raiders
nine passes for 111 yards. Philip
punted four times, Lyman three.
Philip gave up one five-yard
penalty and one 10-yard penalty,
while Lyman had one five-yard and
two 10-yard penalties.
Philips rushing game was lead
by Guptills 228 yards in 11 carries.
DeJong gained 34 yards in seven
carries. Casey Reder rushed five
times for 24 yards, and Schnabel
had two carries for 14 yards total.
Philip defense was crammed
with teamwork. Ryan Van Tassel
racked up two solo tackles, 14 as-
sists, one quarterback sack and a
fumble recovery. Quade Slovek to-
taled one solo and 13 assisted tack-
les. DeJong added two solos, six as-
sists and one sack. Reder and Gup-
till each ended up with four solos
and four assists.
The Scotties next game will be
at Wall against the Eagles, Friday,
October 12, starting at 7:00 p.m.
Philip fights Lyman and bad luck
Above, this Scot-
tie squeezed
through a small
opening to gain a
few more yards.
Philips Paul Guptill dragged Lyman Raider opponents to get every inch of field.
The Philip Lady Scotties volley-
ball team traveled to Wall, Thurs-
day, October 4, to challenge the

The evening was also the site of

2012 ConstitutionaI
Amendments
The following amendments to the State
Constitution are submitted to the voters
by the Legislature. The amendments will
not become effective unless approved by
majority vote.
ConstitutionaI Amendment M
TitIe: An Amendment to the South
Dakota Constitution regarding certain
provisions relating to corporations.
Attorney GeneraI ExpIanation:
The Constitution currently contains
certain restrictions on the Legislature's
authority to enact laws regarding corpo-
rations. For example, corporate directors
must be elected by cumulative voting, in
which a shareholder may choose to cast
all votes for a single candidate or spread
the votes among two or more candi-
dates. Corporate stock or bonds may
only be issued for money, labor or prop-
erty received by the corporation. Corpo-
rate stock or debt may not be increased
without prior notice to and consent of cur-
rent stockholders.
Constitutional Amendment M removes
these restrictions, and allows the Legis-

late. However, the The Legislature shall,
by appropriation, make distributions from
the difference between the twelve million
dollar annual general fund transfer and
five percent of the market value of the
trust fund for the support of education,
but not for the replacement of state aid to

2012 Initiated Measure
The following initiated measure was pro-
posed by petition for submission to the
voters. This initiated measure will not be-
come effective unless approved by ma-
jority vote.
Initiated Measure 15
TitIe: An initiated measure to increase
state general sales and use taxes for ad-
ditional K-12 public education and Medi-
caid funding
The initiated measure increases the
state general sales and use tax rate from
4% to 5%. The additional tax revenue will
be split evenly between K-12 public edu-
cation and Medicaid. The education
funds will be provided to school districts
based on enrollment, to be spent on im-
proving education as school boards de-
termine. The Medicaid funds will be
spent only on payments to Medicaid
providers and related state expenses.
The additional funds cannot replace or
reduce state funding levels set for fiscal
year 2012 relating to existing Medicaid
and K-12 public education programs, in-
cluding state aid to education. Currently,
state aid is to be adjusted annually by 3%
or the rate of inflation, whichever is less.
Under the measure, this annual adjust-
ment cannot exceed the growth rate in
state general fund revenues. Any result-
ing shortfall in state aid will be made up
in subsequent years.
A vote "Yes is for the proposed law.
A vote "No is against the proposed
law.

uted pro rata based upon each school
district's relative share of fall enrollment
as defined in SDCL chapter 13-13, com-
pared to the fall enrollment of all school
districts. Funds deposited in the Moving
K-12 Education Forward subfund in the
preceding calendar quarter shall be dis-
tributed, provided above, to the public
school districts of South Dakota by the

service in excess of such reimbursement
rates in effect as of July 1, 2011; and
(3) Twenty percent of the monies in
the Moving Health Care Forward sub-

program in existence for state fiscal year
2012, including specifically the state aid
to education and special education pro-
grams established in SDCL chapters 13-
13 and 13-37. The per student allocation
in SDCL chapter 13-13 and the per stu-
dent allocation for each specified disabil-
ity in SDCL chapter 13-37 shalll be
adjusted by the annual application of
their respective index factors, as set forth
in SDCL subdivisions 13-13-10.1(3) and
13-37-35.1(6), as in effect on July 1,
2011. However, the index factor adjust-
ment shall, in no case, exceed the actual
percentage growth in state general fund
revenues for the most recently com-
pleted fiscal year. f the percentage
growth in state general fund revenues is
less than the index factor sin any year,
the difference shall be made up in the im-
mediately following years to the extent

Section 1. That chapter 13-55 be
Beginning in the 2013-2014 academic
year, there is hereby established the
South Dakota critical teaching needs
scholarship program. The purpose of the
program is to encourage South Dakota's
high school graduates to obtain their
postsecondary education in South
Dakota for teaching, to remain in the
state upon completion of their education,
and to contribute to the state and its citi-
zens by working in a critical need teach-
ing area.
The South Dakota critical teaching
needs scholarship program shall be ad-
ministered by the Critical Teaching
Needs Scholarship Board which is
hereby established. The board shall con-
sist of five members appointed by the
Governor for a term of five years, except
that the initial appointments shall be for
periods of one, two, three, four, and five
years. A majority of the board shall be
present either personally or by telecon-
ference to constitute a quorum.
The Department of Education shall
provide necessary support services to
the board.
From the total pool of applicants, the
Critical Teaching Needs Scholarship
Board shall award no more than one
hundred critical teaching needs scholar-
ships for each academic year. The board
shall award scholarships based on the
requirements of sections 5 and 6 of this
Act, the filling of critical teaching needs
areas, and other academic and personal
characteristics of each applicant as de-
termined by the board. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this section, if the board
rescinds a scholarship that has been
awarded, the board may award the
amount of the rescinded scholarship to
an alternate.
All accredited South Dakota public
and nonpublic postsecondary institutions
which offer a baccalaureate degree in el-
ementary or secondary education are el-
igible to participate in the scholarship
program. Each institution may choose
whether to participate in the program and
may limit the number of scholarship re-
cipients the institution will accept in each
academic year.
n order to be eligible for a critical
teaching needs scholarship, a student
shall:
(1) Agree, in writing, to stay in South
Dakota and work in a critical teaching
needs area for five years after graduation
from a participating postsecondary insti-
tution;
(2) Agree, through a promissory
note, that failure to abide by the provi-
sions of subdivision (1) will result in the
scholarship being converted into an in-
terest bearing loan;
(3) Attend a participating South
Dakota postsecondary institution as an
undergraduate junior or senior and be
accepted in an elementary or secondary
education program at the institution that
will prepare the student to work in a crit-
ical need teaching area; and
(4) Be a United States citizen or
lawful permanent resident.
For purposes of subdivision (3), a jun-
ior is a student who has earned sixty
credit hours prior to the beginning of the
third year of instruction, and a senior is a
student who has earned ninety credit
hours prior to the fourth year of instruc-
tion.
A student is eligible to participate in
the South Dakota critical teaching needs
scholarship program for the equivalent of
two academic years (four consecutive
spring and fall terms) or until the attain-
ment of a baccalaureate degree in ele-
mentary or secondary education in a
critical teaching needs area, whichever
comes first. However, the Critical Teach-
ing Needs Scholarship Board may grant
exceptions to the continuous enrollment
requirements for good cause.
Scholarships are not provided for
summer session students enrolled in tra-
ditional four year programs.
n addition to the eligibility criteria iden-
tified in section 5 of this Act, the Critical
Teaching Needs Scholarship Board may
require applicants to submit a written
essay or other information by which to
judge the academic and personal qualifi-
cations of the applicant.
The amount of the annual scholarship
shall equal the tuition and generally ap-
plicable fees for thirty credit hours at a
South Dakota public postsecondary insti-
tution as of July 1, 2013. The scholarship
amount paid to a recipient attending a
participating nonpublic postsecondary in-
stitution shall equal the amount paid to a
recipient attending a public postsec-
ondary institution.
One-half of the annual scholarship
shall be paid to public postsecondary in-
stitutions on behalf of eligible students
there enrolled or directly to eligible stu-
dents enrolled at nonpublic postsec-
ondary institutions at the beginning of the
fall semester, and the other half shall be
paid at the beginning of the spring se-
mester.
f, in any year, the total funds available
to fund the critical teaching needs schol-
arships are insufficient to permit each el-
igible recipient to receive the full amount
provided in this section, the available
moneys shall be prorated and distributed
to each recipient in proportion to the en-
titlement contemplated by this section.
The total amount of the scholarship may
not exceed the amount stipulated in this
section.
n order to maintain eligibility for the
critical teaching needs scholarship pro-
gram, a student shall:
(1) Maintain a cumulative 2.8 grade
point average on a 4.0 scale. The stu-
dent shall complete consecutive spring
and fall terms in order to remain eligible
for continuation of the scholarship pro-
gram from term to term;
(2) Make satisfactory academic
progress towards a degree by earning
thirty credit hours per year;
(3) Attend and graduate from a par-
ticipating South Dakota postsecondary
institution with an elementary or second-
ary education degree which qualifies the
student to teach in a critical teaching
needs area in South Dakota; and
(4) Upon graduation, stay in South
Dakota and teach in a critical teaching
needs area for five years.
f factors beyond the control of a stu-
dent who has been awarded a critical
teaching needs scholarship prevent the
student from meeting any of the require-
ments in subdivisions (1) to (3), the Crit-
ical Teaching Needs Scholarship Board
may temporarily waive the requirements
of those subdivisions. The board may re-
scind a scholarship award if the student
does not maintain eligibility as prescribed
in those subdivisions.
Failure to fulfill the requirements of
subdivision (4) shall result in the critical
teaching needs scholarship being con-
verted into an interest bearing loan. The
board shall set the rate of interest, as al-
lowed by law. The five years of employ-
ment referenced in subdivision (4) shall
be fulfilled consecutively unless the
board waives this requirement for good
cause, and the five years of employment
may be fulfilled at more than one school
district in South Dakota.
The Department of Education may re-
ceive gifts, donations, grants, or endow-
ments for the purposes of sections 1 to
8, inclusive, of this Act.
Section 10. The Board of Education
may promulgate rules pursuant to chap-
ter 1-26 to define areas of critical teach-
ing need for the purposes of sections 1
to 8, inclusive, of this Act, to establish ap-
plication requirements for the critical
teaching needs scholarship, and to fur-
ther accomplish the purposes of sections

of Education to provide funds to public
school districts for the purpose of provid-
ing rewards to attract certified teachers
who teach in math and science subject
areas in middle school and high school
or who are certified with a math or sci-

out is void, and the district shall comply
with the requirements of the top teacher
reward program.
f a district opts out pursuant to this
section, the teachers employed in the
district are not eligible to participate in the
top teacher reward program. The district
shall provide written notice to each certi-

teacher data collection pursuant to 13-
3-51 and any rules promulgated pur-
suant to that section; and

teacher reward program beginning in the
2014-2015 school year. f the local
teacher reward plan is developed in com-
pliance with sections 28 to 35, inclusive,

ers. No collective bargaining agreement
ers may limit the ability of a teacher to

Matt to approve the 2nd reading of Ord.
#2012-16, 2013 Municipal Appropriations
Ordinance. Motion carried with all mem-
bers voting aye. (see beIow)
FO Van Lint updated the Council on her
correspondence with Canadian Pacific
(CP) Railroad and Dakota Mill and Grain
(DM&G) representatives. This is regard-
ing the concerns voiced about the re-
moval of a portion of the railroad's trestle
bridge restricting the water flow in the
area where DM&G is proposing to build
a new rail siding.
She stated that according to Kimberly
Duke with CP Railroad, they are in the
process of researching the historical data
on the trestle bridge. t was noted that
when a portion of the trestle bridge was
removed, the railroad was owned by
Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern (DM&E)
Railroad. She has also been in contact
with Andrew Kangas, DM&G's Engineer
with Civil Design Engineering, and Bart
Banks, DM&G's Attorney, regarding
DM&G's plans. t was mentioned more
than once from DM&G's representatives,
that they are not responsible for what oc-
curred in years past with the removal of
the trestle bridge, but are taking the con-
cerns voiced by the City and its residents
into consideration. One option that is
being looked into is that of cleaning out
the river bed, but nothing is concrete at
this time.
She went on to advise the Council that
she has also suggested Mr. Kangas con-
tact the City's Engineer, Harlan Quenzer,
as he is familiar with the City's flood plain
and the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency (FEMA) regulations.
Council Member Henrie questioned if
comments or concerns have been re-
ceived by more than one property owner,
Mike Seager, in the area of the proposed
siding. She also inquired if there are any
outstanding issues with the School's Bar-
ium Treatment ponds in the area.
FO Van Lint confirmed that Mike Seager
has been the main contact. He has been
very helpful with historical information
and pictures of the area over the last sev-
eral years, but there are others that have
concerns. They were present at the ear-
lier meeting when these issues were first
brought to the City's attention.
She stressed that the main concern is
what the additional siding will do to the
area, more specifically restricting the
water flow even more so with the addi-
tional proposed rail siding. As for the bar-
ium treatment ponds, she is unaware of
any outstanding issues, but noted that
they are regulated by the SD Dept. of En-
vironment and Natural Resources.
Mayor Vetter questioned if DM&G has
completed a hydrological study. FO Van
Lint confirmed that according to Mr. Kan-
gas, they have not completed a hydro-
logical study, measuring the flood events
at this time. They have, on the other
hand, inquired about presenting a plat,
building and flood plain development per-
mits for the City's approval. Van Lint ad-
vised DM&G that if they file these
permits, she could make no promises
that the City Council would move to ap-
prove them at this time it was her opin-
ion that the Council would more than
likely require more concrete information
relative to the flooding concerns and ex-
pected changes and impacts to the flood-
ing if approvals for siding construction
are approved.
Council Member Matt stated that the
trestle bridge concerns may not be
DM&G's problem at this time, but it could
be if they install a new rail siding.
FO Van Lint stressed that she does not
intend to point any fingers, but would
rather find an amicable solution to assist
in alleviating some of the flooding con-
cerns in order for DM&G's expansion to
be a successful improvement to the com-
munity. She stressed that everyone
needs to work together in order for this
to happen and therefore would suggest
that the Council entertain the idea of
hosting a public meeting amongst all of
the entities involved and the residents
that may be impacted.
By general consensus, the Council
agreed that a public meeting would be in
the best interest of all involved and re-
quested that a public hearing be sched-
uled for some time during the week of
Oct. 22nd, pending official confirmation
from the representatives of CP Railroad
and DM&G as well as Harlan Quenzer.
Once the official date and time is avail-
able, a public notice will be published in
the local newspaper.
Mayor and Council thanked FO Van Lint
for her efforts with the trestle bridge and
DM&G expansion plan research.
Mayor Vetter then questioned the status
of the Haakon Co. Regional Railroad Au-
thority (HCRRA).
FO Van Lint reported that the original au-
thority was adopted in the 1980's with
Haakon County and the Town of Midland.
This was filed with the Secretary of State,
but has since become inactive since it is
not fulfilling its legal entity obligations
hosting meetings and submitting annual
reports for example. n 2002, an amend-
ment was made to the authority, adding
the City of Philip to the authority board,
increasing the previous five person board
to a seven person board. Unfortunately,
the amendment in 2002 was not filed
with the State so therefore it is not rec-
ognized by the State as a legal entity.
City Attorney Tollefson confirmed Van
Lint's comments, noting that the authority
will have to be reinstated in order to qual-
ify as a legal railroad authority.
t was questioned the number of mem-
bers on the authority-five or seven. f the
Town of Midland should and would be in-
cluded or if it should be limited to the
County and City of Philip. Also, which
taxing entity would oversee the authority.
Council Member Arthur recommended a
seven person board if the Town of Mid-
land is interested in being a member of
the authority. This would provide equal
representation from each taxing entity as
well as one at-large member.
FO Van Lint then mentioned that it may
be in the best interest of the County to
oversee the authority since they are the
largest taxing authority. n addition, if
Midland is excluded at this time, an
amendment would have to be made
should Midland experience a railroad im-
provement. n her opinion, it would be
beneficial to include all taxing entities at
this time.
Mayor Vetter questioned if the County
Commissioner's were discussing the
HCRRA at their meeting tomorrow and
how the City shall go about reinstating
the authority. Tollefson stated that she
would be happy to facilitate the informa-
tion amongst the City of Philip, Haakon
County and Town of Midland. She is also
willing to serve as the agent for the au-
thority and will draft a Regional Railroad
Authority agreement for all parties to con-
sider.
Attorney Tollefson will report back to the
Council with a draft authority agreement
at the November Council meeting.
Council was then informed that the pool
bathhouse exterior repairs have been
constltutlonal

completed. This included the dryvit sur-
facing, new lighting and soffits as well as
gutter end caps and downspouts.
New Business:
Street mprovement Projects:
Gartner to authorize the Mayor's signa-
ture on the State Revolving Fund (SRF)
Sanitary Sewer Loan document, noting
that the closing date for the loan is Oct.
9, 2012. Motion carried.
FO Van Lint reviewed addendum number
one to the engineering agreement with
SPN & Assoc. for the Wood and Walden
Ave. mprovement project. She ex-
plained that engineering agreements
start with the design phase of the project
since it is uncertain when construction
will begin. Then the bidding/negotiation
and construction phase engineering
agreements are prepared when the con-
struction is known and presented as an
addendum to the initial engineering
agreement. The City approved the de-
sign engineering agreement in 2009 and
the current addendum is for the
bidding/negotiation engineering ($8,600)
and construction phase engineering
($230,000) for the Wood/Walden Ave.
mprov. project.
Council Member Matt questioned what
the construction engineering entailed.
FO Van Lint confirmed that an engineer
is staffed on-site during the construction
of the project. They are the go between
for the City, contactor, and Mr. Quenzer.
They perform various duties such as
compaction testing, slump testing, and
measuring to name a few.
Following discussion, motion was made
by Arthur, seconded by Gartner to ap-
prove addendum number one to the en-
gineering agreement with SPN & Assoc.
for the bidding/negotiation and construc-
tion phase of the Wood/Walden Ave. m-
prov. Project. Motion carried.
Council reviewed a Street mprove-
ments-Property Owner Expense Policy.
This reflects the property owner(s) re-
sponsibility when the City completes the
design phase of a street improvement
project and outlines the process when in-
dividuals request improvements above
and beyond the scope of the originally
designed project. For example, replace-
ment/installation of new sidewalks and/or
driveway approaches.
Mayor Vetter questioned when the dead-
line is for residents to submit recom-
mended improvements to their
properties, above the original design
plans for the Wood/Walden Ave. project.
He noted that currently one property
owner has already confirmed updates,
but would like to allow everyone an op-
portunity to do so if they so choose.
By general consensus, the Council re-
quested FO Van Lint contact Mr. Quen-
zer to set up a time to meet with the
residents, suggesting the same day that
he will be in town for the CP Railroad and
DM&G expansion plan meeting. Once a
schedule is determined, a public notice
shall be published in the local newspa-
per.
Following review, motion was made by
Gartner, seconded by Matt to approve
the following policy. Motion carried.
Street Improvements - Property
Owner Expense PoIicy
n the event that the City of Philip does a
street improvement project, property
owners will be assessed for the curb and
gutter, driveway approaches, and/or
sidewalks abutting their respective prop-
erties. They will only be assessed for the
replacement costs of said actual im-
provements in accordance with SDCL 9-
43.
The City Council has the authority to offer
discounts to the property owners' a s -
sessments.
The replacements to the curb and gutter,
driveway approaches, and/or sidewalks
shall be included as part of the designed
project. Only those items included shall
be allotted a discount if the City Council
determines to offer a discount to the as-
sessment.
Should a property owners wish to make
changes to the plans for their respective
properties during the project, the follow-
ing shall be considered.
1) The City will only pay that portion of
the replacement costs as determined
by the City Council. .e. if a discount is
applied such as 60% to the property
owners, the city would pay that 60%
with the property owner paying the re-
maining 40%.
2) Costs for any upgrades or improve-
ments above the initial designed proj-
ect, will be the property owner(s) sole
responsibility, over and above the ini-
tial replacement costs. Said upgrades
will be assessed at 100% and shown
as a separate assessment.
At 7:30 p.m., as previously advertised,
Mayor Vetter announced that it was time
to open bids for the Airport Farm Ground
Lease for 2013 to 2017. Mayor Vetter
called for any bids from the floor. With
none forthcoming, the following bids
were opened.
Bob Berry - $6,000 annually
Ed Morrison, Morrison Family Farms,
LLC - $6,000 annually
Matt, seconded by Arthur to reject both
bids since they are for the same amount
and re-bid the Airport Farm Ground
Lease with a Nov. 5th, 2012, bid opening
date. Motion carried.
Airport:
Council reviewed project status updates
for the Land Acquisition and Environ-
mental Assessment (LA/EA) and the
Medium ntensity Runway Lighting
(MRL) Design projects.
Council then reviewed a construction up-
date for the MRL project. PWD Reckling
noted that the contractors located an old
cistern that they had to remove, but oth-
erwise everything is going smoothly.
They started on Sept. 17th with the sub-
stantial completion date being Nov. 1,
2012. n his opinion, everything will be
completed prior to the Nov. 1st deadline
with the exception of the beacon replace-
ment as it is on back order.
Council then went on to review the fol-
lowing building permits as presented:
Dakota Mill & Grain tree removal, dem-
olition of house & Quonset; Burjis &
Cheryl Fitch addition; Lee ke Neville
renew sewer line replacement permit;
Lary Osburn replace front step; and,
Hazel Rowcliffe wheelchair ramp.
Arthur, seconded by Gartner to approve
the above building permits as presented.
Motion carried.
PWD Reckling reviewed the condition of
the lift station wet well, noting that when
the lift station was cleaned this past sum-
mer, deterioration of the walls was re-
ported. The main areas of concern are
those of the north and south walls that
showed breakage from the sewer gasses
and water.
He noted that the wet well was installed
in the early 1990s with repairs to the wet
well being completed in 2002. Similar re-
pairs are once again needed and accord-
ing to the City's Engineer, Harlan
Quenzer, the work is estimated at
$68,800. This includes the use of a trans-
fer pump while a new rubber lining is in-
stalled in the ten (10) foot by twelve (12)
foot in diameter and fourteen (14) foot in
depth well.
Council Member Larson questioned if
this is an expense that occurs every ten
years, is the City saving funds to cover
the repairs. t was noted that the sewer
has a reserve fund established, but it is
not specifically for this expense.
PWD Reckling was questioned about
other options to repair the wet well. He
noted that he is unaware of any other op-
tions as our wet well has a poured in
place lid, making it more difficult to repair
the walls.
Council was reminded that the $68,800
noted is only an estimate. The estimated
amount is above the bid limit, requiring
the repairs to be bid in accordance with
State law.
Mayor Vetter stated that he would be in
contact with Mr. Quenzer regarding the
needed repairs and if other options are
available to bring the wet well back into
an acceptable state of repair. No action
was taken relative to this matter at this
time.
Council was informed that nuisance vio-
lation expenses have been certified to
the County for collection with property
taxes for parcels 8896 and 8918.
Departmental Reports:
The quarterly Police Dept. report was
presented and reviewed with Officer But-
ler.
For the record, Terry Deuter is no longer
considered an employee of the City due
to the lapse in his fire arms certification.
The monthly Street Dept. report was re-
viewed.
Council Member Arthur requested the
pot holes be filled on N. Wood Ave. and
on E. Pine St. before it intersects with
Wray Ave.
The monthly Water Dept. report was re-
viewed.
Henrie to approve the surplus and dis-
posal of the Dell 370 Computer pur-
chased in 2004 for $1755.10. This
computer was recently utilized by PWD
Reckling and will be replaced with FO
Van Lint's computer that was purchased
in 2007. Motion carried.
PubIic Comments:
None.

Greetings from cool, breezy,
overcast, dry northeast Haakon
County. We had some clouds that
looked promising yesterday, but we
only received a few drops of rain. I
am still amazed at how quickly our
hot summer mornings have turned
into brisk autumn mornings!
Mother Nature is definitely keep-
ing to her schedule. We had a hard
freeze this past week, so I've been
spending some time clearing off the
garden or what was left of the
garden. It has not been a stellar
gardening year here, and I can't
say that I am sorry to see it end. I
still have some tomato plants piled
up under some blankets, so I'll be
checking to see if any of the green
tomatoes are ripening. And I still
have a few hills of potatoes to dig.
Otherwise, I guess I'll start plan-
ning for 2013!
The cool weather seems to have
slowed down the flies and boxelder
bugs. Of course, the bug spray I
used may have had something to
do with that, too! There are some
things in this world that I feel God
wasted time creating, and boxelder
bugs fall into that category. The
skunks and coyotes are still plenti-
ful, and I don't have any spray for
those critters. Our hired man shot
a skunk in his yard earlier this
week I guess it had developed a
taste for dog food, and his dog,
Kate, wasn't too happy about it. I
was thinking about skunks the
other day wouldn't you just hate
to smell that bad all the time?
Oh well, on to the news.
Dick and Gene Hudson were in
Philip Wednesday to attend fu-
neral services for Virginia Burns.
Friday, Gene Hudson attended fu-
neral services for Dorothy Seidler
in Midland. After church Sunday,
Chauncey Jorgensen and his
friend, Misti, visited at Dick and
Gene's home. Monday, Harry and
Ruth Burma, Platte, were lunch-
eon guests at the Hudson home.
The Burmas are the parents of
Dick and Gene's son-in-law, Cory
Burma.
Billy and Arlyne have a quieter
house this week since all of their
company have returned to their
homes. Last Friday, Billy and Ar-
lyne, along with Kim and Jeff
Marso and Kim's son Danny and
his friend, traveled to Spearfish to
visit with Cindy and Bruce Bresee.
Bruce is a football coach at
Spearfish, so the group attended
the football game Friday night. Un-
fortunately, Bruce got sick during
the game and was taken to the hos-
pital. He was suffering from some
arrhythmia in his heart, so he was
taken to Rapid City the next day.
Following treatment to get the
heart back into the correct rhythm,
Bruce was able to leave the hospi-
tal Sunday. Great news! Thank
goodness for modern medicine!
Duane and Lola Roseth enjoyed
a visit from their children last
weekend. Kacey and John Gerlach
and Rhett Roseth arrived Friday
from their homes in Rapid City and
stayed until Sunday. Thor, Jackie
and baby Royce Roseth spent Sat-
urday at the ranch. It sounds like
they all had a great time.
Nels and Dorothy Paulson were
in Ft. Pierre last week to attend the
auction of the Thorson land.
Paulsons and Thorsons have been
longtime neighbors and friends.
Other than that, it has been busi-
ness as usual at the Paulson place.
Connie Johnson spent several
days in Mitchell last week attend-
ing teacher's training. Wyatt John-
son, a freshman student at South
Dakota State University, spent the
weekend at home helping with cat-
tle work. Jon and Connie's friend,
Dave Bauer, Minnesota, spent the
weekend helping with the cattle
weaning chores.
Bill and Polly Bruce were in Mid-
land Friday to attend funeral serv-
ices for Dorothy Seidler. Their son,
Vince, was one of the pallbearers.
Following the funeral, Vince went
to Ft. Pierre to the cattle sale, and
Bill and Polly returned to the
ranch. Saturday night, Bill and
Polly attended church services in
Midland.
Clark and Carmen were in
Pierre last week to attend a sur-
prise 40th birthday party for their
son-in-law, Anthony Nelson. Clint,
Laura and Alivya also attended the
party. Happy belated birthday, An-
thony!
Frank and Shirley Halligan re-
turned last week from a 10-day trip
to Texas. Shirley said it rained
seven inches while they were in
Texas she hoped to bring some of
the rain back to South Dakota!
Shirley said that it had been so dry
in Texas, and the steady rain just
soaked right in sounds wonder-
ful, doesn't it? While they were
gone, Frank's father, Ken Halligan,
spent a few days in the hospital.
I'm glad to report that he is doing
better now and is back home.
Max and Joyce Jones have been
harvesting like mad, trying to get
things wrapped up for the season.
This week, they will be in Pierre for
Grand Chapter of Eastern Star.
Ruth Neuhauser said it has been
a quiet week for her at Highmore.
Her daughter and son-in-law, Nina
and Lynn Nachtigall, made it
safely to Italy where they will be
spending the next several months
with their son, Troy, and his fam-
ily. Ruth's daughter and son-in-
law, Connie and Bunky Boger,
Arkansas, are back home after
their season on the road with their
educational agricultural exhibit.
They provide such important infor-
mation about agriculture to those
that have no connection to the
land! The Bogers may be coming to
visit in a couple of weeks.
Kevin and Mary Neuhauser were
in Sturgis Saturday to attend the
wedding of Danny and Lynelle
Chapman's daughter, Danna Lee.
Danny grew up here on Robb's
Flat, and his parents worked for
Tipp Hamilton. Kevin and Mary's
daughter, Sarah, joined them at
the wedding reception. Sunday,
Kevin and Mary spent time in
Spearfish helping Sarah with some
projects at her home there, return-
ing home by way of Highway 212.
Kevin said there is a lot of dry
ground along that stretch of road
also.
Mary Briggs has been staying
busy. She stopped to visit her
mother-in-law, Lil Briggs, Thurs-
day night on the way home from
work. Warren Briggs (Lanes old-
est) was there from North Car-
olina. She said it was so very good
to see him, and he is looking great.
Rea and Mary went to Sonja
Briggs retirement party at her of-
fice in driver licensing Friday after-
noon, then finished the day off
working in town. Saturday morn-
ing, Mary went to town for parts
for Lees tractor, then Lee and
Mary both went back in Saturday
evening to attend a get-together for
Warren at Grandma Lils. There
was a very nice turnout. Lee and
Mary's daughter, Keva Joens,
headed home from Whitewood
after she got off work Saturday, but
she didnt make it in time to come
in to the party. Keva brought a cou-
ple horses home and took some
back to Whitewood with her when
she returned to her home Monday
morning. Keva, granddaughter
Cattibrie Riggle (who had been at
Shad Riggles), and Mary pulled a
combine header to just west of
Pierre Sunday morning and met
Rea and Kinsey Riggle at a local
restaurant for pie. Kinsey returned
to the ranch with Mary. Cattibrie
and Kinsey returned to Pierre
Monday. Lane, Warren and An-
thony Briggs all stopped by around
noon on Monday on their way up to
see Lane's brother, Cole. Mary
spent part of a quiet afternoon
Monday working on the deck stow-
ing flower pots and getting things
ready for winter. She also took care
of laundry chores before heading
back towards Pierre Monday
evening to pick up Lee, who had
driven the combine in. Whew!
Makes me tired just thinking of
trying to get all that done!
Chase and Kelly Briggs and fam-
ily enjoyed a visit from Chase's
cousin, Warren, Monday. I'm sure
Kelly and the kids are enjoying
these fall days!
The week here at Neuhauser
ranch has been busy but rather un-
eventful. Our daughter, Jennifer,
returned to our home Friday from
a conference in Bismarck. It
snowed while she was there, so she
has had a taste of winter already.
Jen's husband, Ross, came to the
ranch Friday night, and he and Jen
returned to their home in Salem
Saturday. Dylan Neuhauser was
here over the weekend, helping
with some projects. We have had
hunters here, but the elk season
here at the ranch is nearly over.
The guys have been feeding cattle,
moving hay, and getting prepared
for winter.
This week, I am grateful for vac-
cines and antibiotics and whatever
else it takes to keep calves healthy.
Putting weaned calves in these
dusty pens is a sure fire formula for
sickness, but sometimes there is no
alternative. So thank goodness we
have some medications to help
them get better we sure don't like
to lose any! Hopefully next year
won't be quite so dry.
Enjoy this fall weather, and
please continue to be vigilant with
fire it is still awfully dry! Make it
a great week!

Good morning from Colt, Ark.
Don and Vi Moody finished quite
a few appointments in Rapid the
first part of the week regarding
some important agriculture issues.
Not only with their insurance rep-
resentative which was quite re-
warding, as well as meeting with
their tax advisor on some year-end
issues. They had a new solar light
put up on their entrance sign in the
valley as their neighbors entrance
was highly adorned with flashing
strobe lights and beautiful en-
trance autumn decor. It makes it
fun to try all the lighting affects
that are out there, such as revolv-
ing crystal solar balls and lights on
lamp posts, etc. Vi said they have
to make sure they keep all these or-
naments free of their "snow re-
moval" man who has helped them
for many years to clear their drive
as well as the tenants, of whom one
happens to be his daughter. This
job has always been highly appre-
ciated by everyone who lives at
"Driftwood Acres." (Don and Vi's
formal name of their property in
the valley - if you can still read the
sign behind all the trees.) A new
neon sign is what they need!
Monday morning, October 1, Bill
and I folded in our house on wheels
and set sail for Osborn, Mo. We had
a great time with Shelley and Mike
in Sutton, Neb., but they had to get
to work. We got to Osborn in such
good season that Bill Morrison and
Clint Cashman took us back to St.
Joseph to visit Bills aunt, Mary
Morrison, who is recovering from a
broken hip. She had a wild dream
and fell out of bed. (I just read a tip
that if you put one of those pool
water noodles-not sure that is the
exact name- under a fitted sheet on
the edge of the bed, it is bulky
enough to wake a person up before
they fall out of bed.)
Tony Harty visited Shirley Hair
Monday and also Dale Koehn while
he was cleaning up the garden. The
squash show up better when you
pick up the whole vine.
Tuesday, Bill and I spent the bet-
ter part of the day with Bill Morri-
son and Clint Cashman, Osborn,
and Charles Cashman, Kansas
City, Mo., visiting with Mary at the
rehab center. Mary did a lot of
walking and was working on swal-
lowing. The nurse, Pat, working
with Mary to help with swallowing
said she was from Murdo and her
husband, Joe Norton, is a nephew
to Kay Jensen. Pat was helping
Mary both days we visited.
Tony Harty took Shirley Hair to
Wanblee Tuesday.
Don and Vi Moody's friends, Bob
and Kathy Norton, and son Kyle,
came through Rapid City Wednes-
day with a big trophey elk which
Bob downed the first week of elk
season near Cicero Peak. They
were on their way to Howard to a
processing plant and hurried on
through with Bob's prize. Bob
thought because he was an elder it
may take him all month to get his
elk, so he was really pumped up
about that deal.
Wednesday morning, Bill and I
were again on the road, this time
headed to Branson, Mo., for a few
days of shows and visiting. Bran-
son is in the process of rebuilding
after a tornado went through on
February 29. There are many busi-
nesses that are in the process of re-
building, but also many that have
for sale signs up. We got settled in
and saw one show that evening.
George, Roxie, Kinsey, Natalie
and Kohen Gittings, were in Rapid
City Wednesday for a checkup for
George after his surgery. The sta-
ples were removed and he is doing
great. It will be a while before he
can go back to work though.
Kinsey Gittings helped work on
the trailer house for his sister, Jes-
sica, a couple of afternoons during
the week.
Sandee Gittings attended the
West Central Electric meeting in
Philip Wednesday evening.
Wednesday after visiting with
Shirley Hair, Tony Harty went to
Philip in the afternoon for some
shopping and to attend the West
Central Electric meeting. He en-
joyed seeing so many former neigh-
bors as well as friends from the
Midland area.
Don and Vi Moody returned to
the ranch Thursday to settle them-
selves back in, help keep cattle set-
tled in and check on last minute de-
tails before the cattle sale. They
ran into Lonnie Arneson while in
Rapid City Thursday before head-
ing back home and had a nice visit
about area conditions. Time will
eventually change things for the
better and rain will come or even
snow. The Lead/Deadwood area
had five inches, so that's a start.
Brrr, Thursday morning was the
start of cooler weather in the
Kadoka area. Tony Harty went out
for coffee then visited Shirley Hair.
Later in the day, he stopped by his
niece, Kathy Browns. Kathy was
busy making chili and sweet rolls
for the football team supper.
Sandee Gittings was in Huron
Thursday for groundbreaking for
the new Farmers Union office
building and a meeting in the after-
noon.

Bill and I met Bills aunt, Joyce
and Leo Douglass, Harrison, Ark.,
Thursday at the restaurant in the
College of the Ozarks. In this col-
lege, the young people work their
way through. Our waiter was a
young man from New Guinea who
was a student. He said you have to
have a good grade average and a fi-
nancial need to get admittance. His
two older brothers had graduated
from this same college. They raise
most everything that was served on
the menu. We went through their
tractor museum. More shows for
Bill and me in the afternoon and
evening.
Friday afternoon, Ralph and
Cathy Fiedler packed up and
headed for Philip arriving at
Richard and Diana Stewarts
home. The four of them went down-
town for supper and Ralph and
Cathy were overnight guests.
Friday morning, Tony Harty re-
ported it was cold in Kadoka. He
had coffee out then visited L.D. and
Shirley Hair before they went to
Rapid City. He visited Kathy
Brown and Dale Koehn later in the
day. Friday night, Kadoka lost
their football game with White
River.
Friends from Philip were at Don
and Vi Moodys Sunday just want-
ing to check out the wildlife and
drive the creek trails before the
leaves all fall off. That's fun to do
on four-wheelers if the wind isn't so
cold. It also looked like a new
pipeline was flagged north of
Moody's mailbox and paperwork
was also finalized for easements to
get that across the highway in fine
order. Thanks to WR/L-J again for
their prompt action on these issues
of great importance.
Roxie Gittings returned to
Eagan, Minn., Saturday.
My cousin, Leah (Fairchild), and
her grandson, Tyler, came to Bran-
son Saturday and joined Bill and
me for supper where the enter-
tainer was Barbara Fairchild and
Roy Morris. Some of you may re-
member in 1972 Barbara and her
band played at Milesville Hall for
the Fairchild family reunion. We
were glad to renew our friendship
with them again and spend some
time with Leah and Tyler. It rained
some in Branson and was quite
chilly.
Saturday, October 6, Dr. Mary
Milroy, Yankton, was named the
2012 Spirit of Dakota award win-
ner. She and her husband, Dan,
and daughter, Laura, attended the
tea and the awards banquet. She
was totally surprised by the an-
nouncement and very grateful for
being selected for the award. Con-
gratulations to an outstanding
woman.
Tony Harty visited Shirley and
L.D. Hair Saturday and had coffee
out. He visited with Kathy Brown
in the afternoon.
Saturday morning, Richard
Stewart and Ralph Fiedler tackled
some things that Richard needed
Ralphs help getting done. Diana
Stewart and Cathy Fiedler went
over to the nursing home to visit
their mom, Katy Drageset. They
cleaned out her closet and dresser
of summer things and got her win-
ter clothes all put away, then met
the guys at the bowling alley for
lunch. The guys finished up their
projects while the gals did some
shopping for Katy and then re-
turned to the nursing home to visit
a while longer before Ralph and
Cathy returned to Sturgis. Cathy
said they tried every trick in the
book to get rain to come. They put
away all their summer clothes and
tempted the weather. It did get
cooler and there was a heavy freeze
Friday night and some light snow,
and Wednesday the streets got wet
which is really news this year since
we havent seen much rain.
Sunday morning early, Bill and I
were on the road to Colt, Ark., ar-
riving mid-afternoon at the home of
Bills uncle, J.L. and Ernestine
Riley. I attended a baby shower
with Ernestine for their new great-
granddaughter and Bill and I at-
tended church with them that
evening and had supper out.
Tony Harty attended the church
dinner and services that followed
Sunday. Later in the day, he vis-
ited L.D. and Shirley Hair and en-
joyed a movie with them
This quote came from friends
and it seems worth repeating.
Some people try to turn back their
odometer, not me! I want people to
know WHY I look this way. Ive
traveled a long way and some of the
roads werent paved.
Reporters interviewing a 104-
year-old woman asked: And what
do you think is the best thing about
being 104? She simply replied, No
peer pressure.

Good sportsmanship occurs
when teammates, opponents,
coaches and officials treat each
other with respect. Kids learn the
basics of sportsmanship from the
adults in their lives, especially
their parents and their coaches.
Kids who see adults behaving in
a sportsmanlike way gradually
come to understand that the real
winners in sports are those who
know how to persevere and to be-
have with dignity whether they
win or lose a game.
Parents can help their kids un-
derstand that good sportsmanship
includes both small gestures and
heroic efforts. It starts with some-
thing as simple as shaking hands
with opponents before a game and
includes acknowledging good plays
made by others and accepting bad
calls gracefully. Displaying good
sportsmanship is not always easy.
It can be tough to congratulate the
opposing team after losing a close
or important game. But the kids
who learn how to do it will benefit
in many ways.
Kids who bully or taunt others
on the playing field are not likely to
change their behavior when in the
classroom or in social situations. In
the same way, a child who prac-
tices good sportsmanship is likely
to carry the respect and apprecia-
tion of other people into every other
aspect of life.
Good sports are winners. Ask
first or second graders who won a
game, and they may answer, I
think it was a tie. It is likely the
question is not of any real interest
at that age. Kids may be more
eager to talk about the hits they got
or the catches they almost made.
But as they move into older and
more competitive leagues, kids be-
come more focused on winning.
They often forget to have fun.
Without constant reminders and
good examples, they may also for-
get what behavior is appropriate
before, during and after a sporting
event.
Kids who have coaches who care
only about being in first place and
say that anything goes as long as
they win, pick up the message that
it is okay to be ruthless on the field.
If parents constantly pressure
them to play better or second-guess
their every move, kids get the mes-
sage that they are only as good as
their last good play and they will
try anything to make one.
Adults who emphasize good
sportsmanship, however, see win-
ning as just one of several goals
they would like their kids to
achieve. They help young athletes
take pride in their accomplish-
ments and in their improving
skills, so that the kids see them-
selves as winners, even if the score-
board does not show the numbers
going in their favor.
The best coaches and parents en-
courage their kids to play fair, to
have fun and to concentrate on
helping the team while polishing
their own skills.
Fostering good sportsmanship.
Remember the saying Actions
speak louder than words? That is
especially true when it comes to
teaching your kids the basics of
good sportsmanship. Your behavior
during practices and games will in-
fluence them more than any pep
talk or lecture you give them. Here
are some suggestions on how to
build sportsmanship in your kids:
Unless you are coaching your
childs team, you need to remember
that you are the parent. Shout
words of encouragement, not direc-
tions, from the sidelines (there is a
difference).
If you are your kid's coach, dont
expect too much out of your own
child. Dont be harder on him or
her than on anyone else on the
team, but dont play favorites ei-
ther.
Keep your comments positive.
Do not bad-mouth coaches, players
or game officials. If you have a se-
rious concern about the way that
games or practices are being con-
ducted, or if you are upset about
other parents behavior, discuss it
privately with the coach or with a
league official.
After a competition, it is impor-
tant not to dwell on who won or
lost. Instead, try asking, How did
you feel you did during the game?
If your child feels weak at a partic-
ular skill, like throwing or catch-
ing, offer to work on it together be-
fore the next game.
Applaud good plays no matter
who makes them.
Set a good example with your
courteous behavior toward the par-
ents of kids on the other team. Con-
gratulate them when their kids
win.
Remember that it is your kids,
not you, who are playing. Dont
push them into a sport because it is
what you enjoyed. As kids get
older, let them choose what sports
they want to play and decide the
level of commitment they want to
make.
Keep your perspective. It is just
a game. Even if the team loses
every game of the season, it is un-
likely to ruin your child's life or
chances of success.
Look for examples of good
sportsmanship in professional ath-
letes and point them out to your
kids. Talk about the bad examples,
too, and why they upset you.
Finally, do not forget to have
fun. Even if your child isnt the
star, enjoy the game while you are
thinking of all the benefits your
child is gaining new skills, new
friends, and attitudes that can help
all through life.
