Farm Credit
$175,000 to
Rancher Relief
The Farm Credit System has
announced a $175,000 donation
to the South Dakota Rancher
Relief Fund
Five farm credit entities have
partnered to assist the relief efforts: AgriBank St. Paul,
Minn., CoBank Denver, Colo.,
Farm Credit Services of America FCS America; Omaha,
Neb., Frontier Farm Credit
Manhattan, Kan., and Northwest Farm Credit Services
Spokane, Wash.
The South Dakota Rancher
Relief Fund was established by
the South Dakota Cattlemens
Association, South Dakota
Stockgrowers Association, and
South Dakota Sheep Growers
Association. The fund will assist
livestock producers impacted by
Winter Storm Atlas. Heavy
rain, followed by up to 55 inches
of snow in the states western
region, killed tens of thousands
of farm animals over two and a
half days in early October. Experts predict that it will be several months before the full
economic impact of the storm is
determined.
This perfect storm was devastating emotionally and financially to ranchers, said Lyndon
Limberg, a member of the
AgriBank board and a cattle
and grain operator in eastern
South Dakota. All cattlemen
take good care of their livestock
and spend generations improving their cow herds and get emotionally attached to their cattle;
thats just who we are. Calf
prices have gone up and rebuilding herds will cause real financial stress on people.
Farm Credits donation is intended as a first step in helping
South Dakotas livestock producers rebuild their lives and
their operations.
All of us are touched by the
enormity of the loss these producers have experienced, said
Doug Stark, president and CEO
at FCS America. We hope that
our donation to the South
Dakota Rancher Relief Fund
will help to meet the immediate
and critical needs of those most
severely impacted by this disaster.

Driving Mr. Kennedy

Editors Note: Bill Kunkle is a native South Dakotan, originally
from the Nowlin area. He is well
known in this area and has been a
contributing writer/photographer
to the Pioneer Review for many
years. This story was published
just prior to the 50th anniversary
of the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy and is being
reprinted here with permission.
By Bob Welch
Register-Guard (Ore.)
Imagine yourself answering
the phone back when Barack
Obama or George W. Bush was
running for president. Would you
mind driving the candidate
around for the day?
Well, sure.
You take him from Valley River
Center to the Gateway Mall to the
Fifth Street Public Market.
At times, he sits in the front
seat with you.
You ask him if hed mind
swinging by your workplace so
you could introduce him to the
gang.
Lets do it, he says.
And can I get a few pictures of
you with my wife and kids?
No problem.
In our days of high tech and
high security, its unimaginable,
right?
And yet in April 1960 Bill Kunkle of Harrisburg experienced just
that when John F. Kennedy was
campaigning in Portland prior to
the May 20 Oregon primary election.
It was a wonderful experience, says Kunkle, now 88 and
sitting at a table scattered with
photos from the day. He wanted
to meet ordinary people. He was
looking for voters.
If Kunkles name sounds familiar, its because he was among the
World War II veterans that The
Register-Guard featured in its
2011 series on the 70-year anniversary of the United States involvement in the war.
Now, 50 years after Kennedy
was assassinated in Dallas, I returned to talk to Kunkle because
I remembered him casually mentioning that hed driven the future
president around for a day.
Why him? Hes not quite sure.
Kunkle, then 35, was a former
police officer who had become an
investigator for a Portland insurance agency.
Kennedy, then 42, had announced his candidacy on Jan. 2,
1960.

A Harrisburg man recalls a day in

Portland with the future president
Bill Kunkle, second from left (with cigar) with President Kennedy.
Kunkle was a Democrat whod

done a bit of volunteering for the
local party.
On Feb. 6, Kunkle and his wife
Marvel received a telegram from
Oregon Congresswoman Edith
Green: Most urgent you attend
special meeting (with) Kennedy
supporters in dining room Portland
International
Airport
Wednesday Night February 10 at
9:15 p.m.
Kunkle did so. He met
Kennedy.
Dear Mr. Kunkle, Kennedy
later wrote in the days before computerized mail. It was indeed
good of you to take time out on a
pleasant Sunday to visit with me
at the Coffee Hour given by the
Young Democrats in Portland.
Later, Green phoned Kunkle.
Would he be willing to escort
Kennedy on part of the candidates two-day visit to Oregon on
April 23-24?
I really dont know why they
asked me, he says. Maybe because Id been a police officer.
Nobody asked Kunkle any
questions. Nobody searched the
car that Kunkles insurance company loaned him for the day to
drive Kennedy around.
And I dont remember any
madhouse at the airport when I
picked him up, says Kunkle.
It was just Kennedy and his
campaign manager, 35-year-old
Pierre Salinger, the two having
arrived on a private Kennedy
plane.
Basically,
Kunkle
drove
Kennedy from shopping center to
shopping center and to one high
school so that the candidate
could shake hands and make a
few remarks. This, remember,
was in the days before candidates
jockeyed for TV time and Twitter
followers.
I took him by the insurance office of a guy I knew, says Kunkle.
Then I took him to meet the four
or five people in my office.
The most formal thing about
the day was Kennedys attire:
black suit. Beyond that, the mood
was decidedly low-key.
When meeting up with Marvel
Kunkle and the couples two sons
Joe, 15 and Jack, 12 Kennedy

happily posed for photos with

them. And posed for photos with
Kunkle and a few humorously
dressed members of a welcoming
committee.
Kunkle recalls that Kennedy
was staying in a two-story motel
in east Portland. One of those

Farm Bureau
Cares Fund offers
financial help to
ranch families
More than $68,000 has been
raised for the South Dakota Farm
Bureau Cares Fund, money that is
available to help ranch families
with immediate financial needs
after the blizzard.
Of the total $68,700 raised thus
far, more than $18,000 was given
by farmers and ranchers during
Farm Bureaus 96th annual meeting held Nov. 22-23 in Pierre.
More than $13,000 arrived from
the Minnesota Farm Bureau. The
remainder came from other donations from inside and outside of
South Dakota.
Were so pleased Farm Bureau
can help in some small way with
financial needs after the blizzard,
said Scott VanderWal, president
of the SDFB. This will not replace
all of the lost livestock, but we
hope it will begin mending the
hurt and help get the ranch families through the holiday season as
they begin to make decisions
about the future.
The fund will give assistance for
immediate needs for ranch families, such as groceries, medical
bills or utility bills. It is to complement the larger Rancher Relief
Fund held at the Black Hills Community Foundation. Farm Bureau
members will receive priority
when monies are dispersed
through the SDFB Cares Fund.

Shop til You Drop
Small Business Saturday, the
day set aside for National encouragement to shop small businesses
after Black Friday. However,
small business shops deserve
more than one day, especially
with regard to those mom and
pop stores and family businesses
in small-town America, where the
residents of those towns benefit

from their presence more than
they may realize. Residents of
small towns should support the
shops and businesses in their
towns regularly and in doing so,
support the town itself.
Some may and do argue that
they cannot afford to shop locally
as the prices may be higher and
the selection is limited. Yet, with
the benefits profited from those
dollars spent locally, the cost of

traveling, the convenience, and

the time saved; how can people afford not to shop in the towns
neighbors and friends businesses?
To shop locally saves wear and
tear on vehicles which the IRS reimburses, for business traveling,
at 55.5 cents per mile. This cost
includes gasoline. However, the
cost of gasoline now averages
around $3.40 per gallon with the
highest this year being $3.95, according to Mark Coyle, owner of
Philip Standard Station in Philip,
South Dakota, with a population
of 779. Its 85 miles one way to
Rapid City or Pierre, South
Dakota, where the big-box stores
dwell. Thats $94.35 cost just for
the round-trip transportation, not
including the higher gasoline
costs, then there is a least one
meal having to be purchased, and
last but certainly not least, how
many shoppers also get a bunch of
stuff not needed nor wasnt on the
list, giving in to the dreaded, yet
popular, impulse shopping?
When those hard-earned dollars
are spent at the big-box stores,
where does the money go from
there? It often goes to corporate
headquarters with a trickledown
effect to the last-thought-of employees actually working in the
stores, receiving very little benefit. While for every dollar spent in
small towns, specifically Philip,
two cents from the sales tax goes
right to the city government with
the rest going to the local bank
where it re-circulates in and
throughout the town, stimulating
the local economy at every stop.
What those two cents does
when left within the city government is nothing short of amazing.
One cent is designated specifically
for the towns infrastructures, including: roads, sewers, asphalt,
curbs, sidewalks and water. The
remaining one cent goes into the
general fund to help finance: the
Lookin Around|Syd Iwan

Dreamland
So there I was in this massive
parking lot trying to find my car.
The effort was complicated by
heavy traffic in and out and by
lots of people milling around. I
was having a hard time and getting frustrated. Then I woke up. I
sat up and looked around and
thought, Oh, good. It was just a
dream. I dont have to keep looking for my pickup. Its right outside the door.
Such are the things that go on
in dreamland. I dont often remember my dreams after waking
up, but sometimes they linger
briefly, especially if something
wakes me up like a doorbell or an
alarm clock. Generally speaking,
when I do remember them, they
just concern getting on with normal life, talking to people, and the
like. If Ive had too busy a day,
sometimes there are casts of thousands. In these, there are people
everywhere and all wanting this,
that and the other thing.
Things weve seen or done during a day often get incorporated
into our dreams. Just the other
day, wife Corinne saw me mopping up a bit of blood on my wrists
that was caused by an exuberant
puppy that wouldnt stop gnawing
on me. He wasnt trying to hurt
me but was just being playful. I
didnt even realize he was drawing
blood until I came inside. As a result, Corinnes dreams that night
included my being attacked by a
wolf resulting in blood everywhere. She had to grab a huge
butcher knife and come to my rescue, which she did. She stabbed
and killed the wolf and then attended to my injuries. When she
told me about this semi-nightmare, I thanked her kindly for

saving my life. If she would do it
in her dreams, she might actually
do it if necessary in real life.
Fortunately, I seldom have actual nightmares. There is always
a slight chance of there being
snakes in my slumber-land visions if someone has carried on too
long about those nasty reptiles too
close to when I go to sleep. Obviously, I do not watch any program
on TV that is about snakes in the
evening, or anytime for that matter. The only thing I ever want to
do with such creatures is grab a
hoe and chop them up.
My absence of nightmares is
probably due to having lived a
fairly safe life without a lot of extreme danger. I was serving in the
Navy during the war in Viet Nam,
but I never had to actually go
there. Some of the guys that had
been there, though, had nasty
nightmares that sometimes came
way too frequently. I was always
thankful I didnt ever get sent to a
war zone and still am. Places like
that can scar you for life.
Some authorities say dreams
are useful in ridding the brain of
superfluous electricity and allowing it to rest along with the body.
Whats more, dreams mostly occur
during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep which is the deepest
and best sleep we get. In other
words, dreaming is good for us. It
also appears that it can sometimes help us resolve problems so
we can find answers to things
were wondering about or help us
decide which is the best course to
take.
We should probably also con-
sider those wishes in greeting

cards that all your hopes and
dreams will come true. I have no
trouble with the hope part. The
dream part, though, is dubious.
Most of my dreams are too dull or
frustrating for me to want them to
translate into real life. Maybe
theyre talking about daydreams.
Thats okay. We often have
thoughts of winning the lottery,
writing a bestselling book, gaining
wealth or recognition in some
way, or even getting to visit with
an old friend we havent seen in a
while. If you want to send wishes
that my daydreams come true,
that would be fine. The nightdreams are a bit iffy.
In order to better capture my
dreams, I many years ago bought
a dream-catcher from a local fellow who had made it. These basically are decorative items that are
large rings with something suspended in the middle, often on a
cobweb-looking thing. Mine has
the head skeleton of a small animal suspended in the middle, and
it and the ring are all painted and
fancied up. Corinne doesnt care
much for it since she is basically
against hanging dead animals on
the wall, but I rather like it. It
hasnt caught any dreams for me
that I know of, but maybe someday it will.
When someone wishes me sweet
dreams, I like that well enough.
Those are fine. My mother used to
wish them for me quite often
when saying goodnight, and sometimes I had them. In fact, that is
my wish for all of us this very
night. Sweet dreams to you, and to
all of us a good night with peaceful, restful, restorative slumber.
pool and recreational areas, the

salaries of the city employees including the mayor and all administration personnel. It also helps
finance insurance costs, all publishing costs, and the capitol
building the street department
shops where the street cleaning
and snow removal machines are
stored. Also included in that onecent-benefiting are the town
lights, the police department and
it partially helps finance the fire
department. Financing of elections and code enforcements such
as; property maintenance, nuisances, building, fire and airport
codes are also done. Along with all
this; add economic development
being financially helped as well,
which involves all promotion of
the town and the lighting of the
town signs at both east and west
ends, according to the City Finance Officer, Monna Van Lint.
Thats a lot to do with only two
cents, you might be thinking, surprisingly that two percent of the
sales tax brings more income into
the running of the town than
property taxes. For example:
property taxes brought in
$351,176.00 while that two percent equaled $395,861.67. As
stated earlier, nothing short of
amazing, with five year totalsthrough October of 2012 being:
property taxes $1,570,130.25
and the two percent of sales tax $1,806,963.60 (City of Philip, Finance Records). Could this small
town survive very long or as
nicely without any of the aforementioned departments and
might our property taxes go up if
the sales tax goes down?
Another benefit of shopping locally is that wonderful small town
service. If a purchase from elsewhere fails, a repair man must
travel those 180 miles round trip
and whether or not it gets fixed,
your bill will reflect that expense.
However, when locally purchased,
simply walk in or call the store
where bought and receive instant
help. Try that in a big-box store.
Not only will a customer receive
help but, probably an offer to go
have some coffee or lunch together. Small town hospitality

and service are exemplified in a
statement from Lois Porch, cosmetologist, I have a small business and I very much appreciate
each and every one of our customers. We have a sign in our
salon that says, Enter as
strangers leave as friends.
Pulling from a large area gives us
the opportunity to meet many
new people and we try our best to
offer a relaxed and welcoming environment. We care about you because you are our friends!
Consistently, small business
owners go above and beyond the
call of duty. A clothing store
opened in the early hours of the
morning providing clothing to the
children to go to school in as their
house had suffered through an explosion in the night; the pharmacist/drug store owner opens up
again, after a long day and late at
night, to provide needed antibiotics for a child; the local grocery
store has stayed late for late customers and has even left home to
open up for customers desperately
needing something. These grocery
store owners, drug store and eating establishments provide delivery services to the elderly or
housebound residents or just
about to anyone who asks them.
To further answer the arguments of items and/or services
costing more or products being
limited; price-matching or discounting is still a practiced art in
small town shops along with huge
availability of products that can
be shipped to local stores, if the
store-owners are simply asked.
To go along with price-matching, it has been observed, on numerous occasions by this writer,
that the prices can be less. Recently, after acquiring groceries at
a big-box store, the receipt was
then compared to the items
within the local store and grinning occurred when this long-held
belief was validated. If sales are
shopped, many can come out at
least spending a comparable
amount and often will spend less,

Beginnings
Exhausted wasnt the word for
how she felt. The kids, bundled
like overstuffed snowmen, tumbled out of the car to find the best
spot for watching the towns light
parade. She closed the car door,
almost too tired to follow.
Winter had hit early and with a
vengeance. Her husband was still
working hard to repair fences and
sheds, keep their remaining cows
and calves in good health, figure
the books to try to rebuild the
herd. She really didnt think that
he would get to town in time to
join them for the parade.
The kids were over-busy with
school, church, clubs and other activities. The end of the first semester was looming before
Christmas break ... along with
concerts, elementary sports, kids
trapping relatives and family
friends into buying items for class
fundraisers, class gift exchanges,
and who knows what else.
She found that her own calender was all-consuming. She had
missed a meeting, and was voted
to head putting up the groups
tree in the courthouse. The church
let her know that she had volunteered to greet one Sunday and
lead the readings the next Sunday. She was part of the churchs
nursing home entertainment two
Fridays from now.
They were going to join her sisters family for the annual concert
at the courthouse. Her husbands
ag association was having a
Christmas get-to-gether. An upcoming Saturday evening was a
potluck among families. On top of
everything else, associates from
out of state were visiting for deer
season.
The kids yelled for her. They
found the perfect spot. Each had
their mittened hands wrapped
around a styrofoam cup of hot
chocolate. The kids couldnt safely
carry another cup for her, and the
cart had already moved down the
street. Great!
Christmas music was playing
over the parade announcers loudspeaker. That reminded her, some
gifts could wait a bit, but others
had to be wrapped and mailed
soon. She had stopped at the post
office earlier; bills were on the
cars dash. She had dreaded that
a box would already be there from

ridiculously early in finishing her
Christmas shopping.
Hey, you dont wave at friends
any more? The joking greeting
woke her from her thoughts. She
chatted a bit, then joined her kids.
Other people were waving and
saying hello. Quick conversations
reminded her that they, too, were
busy. They were doing, or going to
be doing, many of the same things
her family was.
The street lights went out. The
parade announcer put on a patriotic song because the Legion float
and its flags were coming down
the street. From behind her, she
heard her name. Her husband
mumbled something about making it just in time. He was carrying two styrofoam cups of hot
chocolate and handed her one.
The winter-wrapped crowd
hushed as the flags passed, then
Christmas music resumed. Yes,
Thanksgiving was leading into
Christmas. She sipped the hot
chocolate, saw the smiles on her
family and other people, and recognized the effort of putting activities together. All was good. Let
the craziness of the season begin.

gazillion other items screaming
for attention, as customers walk
through the aisles. Theres a lot to
be said for a smaller yet very wellstocked variety and those wonderful friendly faces of friends who
happen to be store owners or employees.

shops. This means hundreds of
employment opportunities for not
only the local townspeople but,
the surrounding area and towns
too. Should there be a tool, repair
or an ingredient needed in now
situation, the ease of access
within small towns is ready to go
without fighting traffic or crowds
or stop lights.
A possibly little known nor acknowledged fact of small town
business is the grand financial
support they consistently give to
local events, especially to benefit
the towns children. This includes
all the businesses even those that
cant be benefitted by in-town
shopping. Nancy Ekstrum, former
mayor, sums it up well saying,
My dad had a small business on
Main Street and in addition to
what others have said there is
also the matter of support of community and school activities. I
don't think too many places in the
nearest large shopping place
make donations to all the things
that go on in a small town...such
as benefits, music programs, athletics, town beautification, and little league. It was always puzzling
to me that a school would year
after year ask the businesses to
give prom night prizes and then
buy the food out of town. Sometimes the local business can't get
the items you want, but please
give them the chance .ask
them before you head out of
town.
It is strongly believed and
touted by this writer, that residents of small towns should support the shops and businesses in
their towns regularly and in doing
so, support the town itself. Youll
never put your two cents in and
have it mean more anywhere else.

Proper hay storage in winter
In South Dakota hay is the most
common winter livestock feed option, because it is less risky than
the other available options, explained Karla Hernandez, South
Dakota State University Extension forages field specialist.
While it does require less planning, Hernandez said it can also
be the most expensive method of
preservation. Which is why she
provides livestock producers with
storage tips to consider while they
are preparing for winter.
The best way to store hay is inside out of the weather. However,
since this is not always possible,
Hernandez said it is important to
do the best job of storing it to prevent hay losses.
Uncovered hay bales stored
outside on the ground can result
in high hay dry matter (DM)
losses that could range from 5-20
percent," she said. "In most cases,
it is recommended to elevate bales
using gravel which can reduce DM
losses to 3-15 percent. The best option for storage is covering hay
bales with tarps, which will help
to prevent losses on hay stored
outside."
Rctangular bales are usually
protected by being stored inside,
especially in wet regions with high
rainfall and snowfall potential.
Common storage structures include pole barns with no walls or

sheds enclosed on one to three
sides.
"Good ventilation is needed during the first one to three weeks
after baling to eliminate moisture
quickly as it exits the stack," she
said.
In low rainfall regions, rectangular bales may be stacked outside but Hernandez said these
stacks should be covered to help
shed water.
Round bale storage losses Hernandez said can range from 5 to
40 percent DM depending on climate and on the degree of protection from weathering.
"Round bales are usually stored
outside in contact with the ground
and unprotected from the
weather. Outside storage losses
are small in dry regions or in
areas where winter precipitation
is mainly snow," she said. "Weathering will decrease DM digestibility and usually increases fiber
levels. Interestingly, hay that lies
beneath weathered material on
outside stored bales has similar
forage quality to hay stored in the
shed."
In general, moisture will tend to
penetrate a loosely-packed bale
causing significant loss. A good
method Hernandez suggested, is

to check for moisture on newly
formed bales is to press on the
outer layer with the palm of the
hand.
"If your palm goes in more than
about half-inch, significant losses
should be expected," she said.
Cattle can waste up to 50 percent of hay fed. "Since hay stored
outside usually has more spoilage
during storage and lower palatability than hay stored inside, producers should feed that hay first.
No matter what type of storage
and feeding methods are used,
Hernandez said some loss is always possible. However by followrecommended
storage
ing
methods, and through careful
handling, losses can be minimized, saving livestock producers'
time and money.
Select an open area away from
trees to hasten drying following
wet periods. Arrange bales in a
single layer with three to four feet
of space between rows. This will
improve air circulation around the
bales. Bales should not be stacked
if they are not covered, because
water shed from upper layers will
penetrate directly into lower layers, causing severe damage. Select
an elevated area so water can
drain away from the bales.

New County Committee
Election Ballots to be Mailed
The County Committee Election
ballots that were mailed to producers on Nov. 4 were incorrectly
printed with the producer's name
and address on the back of the ballot. County committee elections
must use a secret ballot so the misprinted ballots cannot be used.
Please destroy or recycle the misprinted ballot. If you have already
voted, your ballot will be destroyed
unopened.
New ballots will be mailed to
producers on December 20
The new ballots will indicate
that they are the corrected ballot
in several places, including on the
outside of the mailing, on the ballot and on the outside of the return
envelope.
The corrected ballot must be returned to the Haakon-Jackson
County FSA office or postmarked
by January 17, 2014.
All newly elected county committee members will take office
February 18, 2014. All county committee members whose term expires on December 31, 2013, will
have their term extended to January 31, 2014.
County committee members are
an important component of the operations of FSA and provide a link
between the agricultural community and USDA. Farmers and

ranchers elected to county committees help deliver FSA programs at
the local level, applying their
knowledge and judgment to make
decisions on commodity price support programs; conservation programs; incentive indemnity and
disaster programs for some commodities; emergency programs and
eligibility. FSA committees operate within official regulations designed to carry out federal laws.
To be an eligible voter, farmers
and ranchers must participate or

cooperate in a FSA program. A
person who is not of legal voting
age, but supervises and conducts
the farming operations of an entire
farm may also be eligible to vote.
Haakon-Jackson will
elect a new combined
committee this year.
The candidates in this year's
election are: Tucker Smith is nominated in LAA 1, Peggy Parson in
LAA 2, Joe Hicks in LAA 3, Neal
Livermont in LAA 4 and Brad
Stout in LAA 5.
SDFB creates 2014 grassroots policies

Farmer and rancher members
of South Dakota Farm Bureau
met in Pierre last weekend for the
organizations 96th annual meeting, deciding on state and national
policy positions for the upcoming
year.
Farm Bureau is proud of its
grassroots policy making process,
where all issues and ideas start at
the local county level with the
farmers and ranchers, said
Wanda Blair, vice president of the
organization and a rancher from
Vale. We had a productive delegate session with lots of excellent
discussion from farmers and
ranchers of all ages, from all
across the state.
The longest discussion this year

was on the issue of animal cruelty
and how state laws should address the definition of mistreatment and the penalties for it. It is
not uncommon for animal activist
groups like the Humane Society of
the United States to come in to
states and push ballot initiatives
on this subject. Farm Bureau
wants to be prepared with a sound
and agriculturally supported position should a ballot initiative present itself, instead of being caught
by surprise and having an activist
group direct the conversation.
Another key issue was defining
flooded private land and the acceptable uses for it. This issue
came up in the last legislative session, and will be brought up again

this year. South Dakota Farm Bureau member-written policy states
that there shall be no access to
flooded private land without permission from the landowner or operator. This was clarified, however, to explain that flooded private land does not include any
land under current meandered
lakes that have been surveyed and
that do have public access.
A third key issue discussed was
developing a usable risk management tool for livestock forages and
grass, to give livestock producers
risk protections more similar to
those in place on the crop side of
agriculture.
Basic training by Association of

Towns and Townships this December
Basic Training is the theme
for the South Dakota Association
of Towns and Townships annual
meeting, Wednesday and Thursday, December 4-5, in Huron.
Local government officials
towns, townships, and county officials will garner information to
assist in their responsibilities as
local elected officials.
The event will begin with reporting for duty at the annual
road show at 9:00 a.m., Wednesday, with training by the South
Dakota Local Transportation Assistance Program on basics of road
maintenance. This presentation
will identify which roads are critical access roads versus collector
roads and field access roads, de-
termine the levels of maintenance,

and learning more about the
hows of approving township
road systems. Also included in the
road show will be the topics of culvert and bridge inspections, road
stabilization and dust control, bid
letting and contracts/performance
bonds, and updates on traffic sign
requirements.
Thursday morning begins with
an overview of the county site
analysis program by the South
Dakota Department of Agriculture and Councils of Governments; followed by a presentation
and discussion on Whats My
Job? by Jay Leibel, legal counsel
for the SDATT; after which a
workshop will launch into under-
standing township risks and liabilities by the Employers Mutual

Casualty insurance company
claims department.
The boot camp exercises will
conclude with two breakout sessions that will run concurrently:
Updates of the Open Meeting
Laws by Leibel and Opting out
and Special Assessments by
Colleen Skinner, South Dakota
Department of Revenue.
The event will close with the
adoption of policies and resolutions for the organization.

Saturday, November 16, at
Somerset Court, we had Thanksgiving dinner with Shawn, Sandi
and Amy. This was a turkey dinner with all the fixins. Residents
had to sign up ahead of time and
a capacity crowd attended. It was
a wonderful dinner, one of the
most popular activities of the year.
This used so much time and energy, that quilting had to be
erased from the slate.
However, Susan filled in with a
big session of Wii bowling. This is
a very satisfactory pastime. It
doesnt take much energy, yet it
provides competition of a sort, and
a chance to improve ones hand
control.
We also had a foursome for
bridge.
In the hall next to Charlie and
Joan Hathaways apartment at
Somerset Court, are arranged
many beautiful flowers and plants
from Charlies funeral and photos
from the many interesting occupations of Charlies life. All the while
he was handsome as a movie star.
We all felt his charm.
Late in the afternoon, I had a
nice time by going down to play
cards and Shirley Hessman was
willing to play bananagrams with
me. Connie Stevens, and later
Susan, came along to help. Quite
a few of our Somerset Court residents have been acquainted for

years. Maxine Burgess, Marge
Olson and Shirley Hessman, and
I think Connie Stevens, are some
of these.
My daughter, Carol, emailed
that they have had calm, decent
weather. She said that Als daughter, Jenni, Pueblo, Colo., would be
coming to Colorado Springs to
view the traveling Bible artifacts,
giving them a chance to visit.
Sunday, November 17, 2013, we
had church with a substitute pastor. Thank you. Connie Stevens
played for hymn singing. Thank
you, Connie.
Sunday was also the birthday of
Somerset Court residents, LaVerne With and Marge Olson. I
made them each a birthday card
and included a snowflake.
Dale and Trudy Brassfield
joined Irene Cox for breakfast on
November 17, 2013, at Somerset
Court.
Thanks to my son and daughter-in-law, Wayne and Gwynn
Hansen, who came over for lunch
and brought me a good sized slab
of walleye. It was really good. I ate
all the walleye instead of the
chicken cordon bleu. Wayne had
been fishing down at Lake Oahe.
It seems that walleye are related
to the perch family of fish.
Waynes little perch have been my
favorite fish to eat.
John Grisham has a new book
out, Sycamore Row. I hope to
phone the Rapid City library and
ask for it.
News that you can use. There is
a coat drive underway at Rapid
City Chevrolet. Clean, gently-used
coats can be dropped off at the
showroom or service department
through December 10. Donated
coats will go to Youth and Family
Services, Newell School District
and the Corner Stone Rescue Mission.
Thank you to Gwynn Hansen,
who stayed for a game of scrabble,
with new words, bosk (a small
wooded area, as boskey dell,)
basso (low pitched singer,) oe
(whirlwind in the Faroe Islands.)
My granddaughter, Gwen Morgan, Woodbridge, Va., sent a good,
newsy email and said that Sarah

likes her job with a credit union.
Kelsie is in her third year of engineering courses. Tyler is a senior
in high school. He takes videos of
football games. Gwen is enjoying
her big, pretty yard.
Monday, November 18, 2013, at
Somerset Court, we had the activity of crafts with Amy and Sandi.
We made little fiber crosses. They
could have pins or magnets. The
crosses had give thanks for all
on them and they were in fall colors of orange, brown and yellow.
Thank you for this activity and
thank you for checking our word
search puzzles and paying us with
Somerset Court bucks for doing
them. The new puzzles that were
out are about It Warms You, and
Counting Blessings. The new
football picks are out too.
After the crafts, a few of us
played quiddler until lunch. After
lunch, there was the movie,
Chistie. This movie was about a
northern girl who went to teach
school in the deep south. It is quite
a touching movie.
Later in the afternoon, Susan,
Shawn, Mary Lou Peters, Shirley
Hessman and Vivian played a little golf. This was new for some
of us, and it promises to be quite
entertaining when we learn it a
little.
At supper time, Myrna Pokorney had company, her daughter,
Connie Weiss, from Black Hawk.
Monday, Kenneth Monette,
stopped by. He had been reading
my little booklet, Out on Dirty
Woman Creek, which is about
stories from the Grindstone neighborhood in the 1920s and 30s. He
remarked that his experiences of
country hog butchering were
much the same, back in Connecticut. They had a German butcher
who would save the blood for blood
sausage and blood pudding, and
make head cheese, scrapple, liver
sausage, pickled pigs feet and
stuff intestines with sausage.
Thank you for stopping by, Kenneth.
Recently, nurse Pat gave us a
seminar and a handout to help us
know whether we have a cold, flu
or allergies. I will post the handout in the Somerset Court scrap-

Tuesday, November 19, at Somerset Court, we had bingo and
there were a lot of winners.
For snack and chat we had some
delicious roquefort cheese fingers.
Thank you for the wonderful treat
and pleasant activity.
Don Stensgaard, my next door
neighbor, is moving out of Somerset Court. We will miss you Don.
LuLu Yeager is moving to Holiday
Hills. We will miss you too, Lu.
Lus daughter, Willie Fuhrman,
Eagle, Colo., is here visiting for a
few days and to help Lu move.
Bert Schneider, who lived here a
little while, also lives at Holiday
Hills.
My
granddaughter,
Patty
Denke, put on Facebook that her
dad, Don Denke, has had a stroke.
He has been miserable for so long.
It seems like there is no justice.
What a grand guy!
On the evening of November 19,
we are expecting the boys from the
Club for Boys to come for bingo.
We always enjoy it when they
come. They are nice polite kids.
One of their staff members calls
numbers very efficiently. The boys
sit with residents and carry our
cards up to be checked and deliver
prizes to the winners. They give
three prizes out for each game.
Usually bags of miniature candy
bars!
Wayne and Gwynn came over
and stayed with me through another nose bleed. Wayne stayed
for breakfast and Gwynn took a
nap. Gwynn came over later in the
afternoon and brought her newly
completed quilt to show me. It is
for a friend of a friend who is ill.
Gwynn had had it machine
quilted by Mary Anne Clark. The
back has some pink butterfly patterned fabric that I really like.
Thank you, Wayne and Gwynn,
for your visit and for bringing the
quilt.
Thursday, November 21, 2013,
at Somerset Court we had the activity of going out to the Open
Bible Church and their school for
lunch and entertainment. Then in
the afternoon, we had a table of
players for the card game golf.
Shawn and Sandi played this
game with Alvin Allerton. Shawn
and Sandi gave some of us a practice session of golf the day before.
It is a nice change, so we dont get
tired of five crowns. Then on
Thursday, Irene Cox and Susan
played a little 500 rummy, a
handy game to know when there
are only two players around.
Thursday was also the day for
deep cleaning around my apartment. I took a nap downstairs
while they were cleaning. They
made it so nice and neat. They got
spots out of the carpet and even
Fri: 8:00 p.m.

Sat: 8:00 p.m.
Sun: 1:30 p.m.
Mon: 7:00 p.m.
For updates on movies, call:
washed a blanket and put it back

on my bed. I am very thankful to
Becky and Maggie. They were
done before lunch. Then I took a
nap in my recliner most of the afternoon.
Somerset Court residents received the minutes of the November 6, 2013, residents council
meeting in our mailboxes. Shawn
prints them off in big artistic
print. Residents are encouraged to
attend the next meeting which is
scheduled for December 4 at 2:00
p.m. We also receive Somerset
Court bucks for attending.
When asked if Somerset Court
has a generator, our director,
Ryan Love, told us that we do
have an emergency generator, but
still need to have our individual
flashlights. Flashlights will be
available in the gift shop. Staff
members were commended for
their excellent help during the October blizzard. Thanks to nurse
Pat who will give a seminar each
month on various health topics.
Regarding the Somerset Court
Thanksgiving dinner, we are
asked to let Kammi at the front
desk know if we will be here and
if we will have guests. We will
have box lunches brought to our
apartments for the evening meal.
And we are asked to let Kammi
know if we wish to have the boxed
lunch.
Thursday the Somerset Court
bus took residents to the Open
Bible Church for a Thanksgiving
dinner and entertainment by the
New Horizons Band. There was a
bus full.
West Central Electric Cooperative Connections magazine for December has arrived and it gives
many articles of interest to our
part of the country, the October
blizzard, and the repairs they
have done in record time (such as
replacing 159 poles, many around
the town of Philip).
This magazine also gives articles including 12 health and safety
tips for the holidays and a page of
holiday favorite recipes. I will
place my copy on the Somerset
Court reading table in the front
lobby.
Kent and Nina Fairchild, California and formerly of Philip, sent
a happy email Thanksgiving
greetings. Wishing you a happy
Thanksgiving, Kent and Nina.
Thank you, Wayne Hansen,
who came over for lunch Friday.
Then he planned to check out the
fishing below Pactola Lake.
November 22, somebody sent
me a lovely, big, red poinsettia.
There was no card. Guess who
was suspected? My grandson,
Todd Allen, Bellevue, Neb. Thank
you, Todd and family, Darlene,
Linda, Amber and Kaleb.

Thank you to David Hansen

who came to visit Friday. He had
brought a handwritten letter.
Among several topics was an account of how bison go about making wallows. I plan to write it up
for the Somerset Court scrapbook,
because David has seen the bison
out at UUU (Triple U) Houck
Ranch, make wallows first-hand
and in great numbers. There
might be 15 or so bison working on
one wallow, and progressing from
wallow to wallow and enlarging
them as they go along. They can
be readily observed from a small
airplane.
Heres an account by David
Hansen from his pickup on the
Triple U Houck Buffalo Ranch, 30
miles north of Ft. Pierre, one day
recently. This account may not be
word for word.
The entire country is muddy,
the lane here at the UUU is uncommonly so. You are familiar
with buffalo wallows where the
buffalo roll, root, rut and bathe
in the dirt. (Rut can mean the act
of mating or the season for mating.) Here at Houck Buffalo Ranch
we have buffalo by the hundreds.
They can be best observed from a
low plane. It is not safe to be on
the ground near them. They do
not stop in their intended path for
anything possible to go through.
They may even run over each
other.
Buffalo choose ridge tops for
their rows of wallows. There, the
vegetation is minimal, and so the
dirt comes apart easily. One bison
rolls around and leaves some loose
dirt. Another comes along and
rubs himself in the same patch of
loosened dirt. He takes some dirt
with him. And soon there is a hollow. If there is moisture, it collects
there. And with the dirt below,
mud is formed. Each buffalo
leaves with more mud, and soon
there is a big wallow.
There may be 15 or more wallows in a row. You might be driving along and not notice the first
one, and then be in another before
you know what hits you. They
may be six, eight or 10 feet across
and one, two or three feet deep.
In the lane at the ranch, a similar
circumstance, in that in the years
of traffic, the bison have removed
the material and mud has formed.
A round bottom pathway has
formed over the years. David has
pulled four different pickups out
from this muddy lane. A few days
ago, David drove down through
the lane with his little red 885 International tractor (with good
tires) to be sure he could get
through there.
Thank you, David, for your eyeto-eye description of buffalo wallows! I find it fascinating.

A blessed Thanksgiving to one

and all. The first Thanksgiving
feast was pretty simple in 1621, as
far as food went, which consisted
of corn, barley, fowl including wild
turkeys and waterfowl and venison and lasted three days. It was
the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag
Indians who shared food and with
52 Pilgrims and about 50 Indians,
it was quite a feat to provide food
in that day and time for so many
and for such a long stretch of time.
After picking up that piece of history, Im thankful not to have to
fix food for over 100 people for
three days! But, each day can
bring events or things to be thankful for, so dont save it up for only
one day. When you are parking, be
thankful you dont need the handicap parking; be thankful for the
ability to read, or hear, enjoy sunshine, be thankful for heat, water
and necessities. The list is endless. Even be thankful things
arent as bad as they could be.
Monday, Don and Vi Moody arrived back to the ranch and met
with hunters, Mark and Tim, from
Wisconsin who had filled two tags
and were ready to head back
home leaving Kadoka Tuesday
morning. Lots of gifts, sausage
and cheese, etc. were left with Don
and Vi including some coins (proof
sets). Vi has a candy dispensor collection that really keeps growing
too. They helped Don unload an
800 pound safe into the garage,
his holiday gift, which took a skid
steer to get the job done, but went
really well and nobody's toes got
stepped on.
Monday found Tony Harty up to
his usual activities, getting the
mail for both himself and L.D. and
Shirley Hair as well as checking
on their furnace, which was again
out. The good news was it wasnt
too cold. Tony made a trip to
Philip to get prescriptions.
I was out and about Monday afternoon delivering the Civil Air
Patrol wreaths and swags around
the community of Philip. I made a
trip to Howes for deliveries there
and had a nice visit with Lavonne
Hansen. I met Lee Vaughan and
we went to Pierre to attend a
FAST meeting sponsored by the
FAA only to find the meeting had
been canceled. Had supper, then

home.
Bob and Kathy Norton were
campers at Don and Vi Moodys.
Tuesday morning, they all
shopped in Philip for different
supplies. The men had to have
their first flat tire repaired and
propane tanks filled. In the afternoon, they went hunting. Vi visited camper neighbor, Kathy, and
was shown how their four-wheeler
could ride in the living room. (The
camper is a toy hauler type!)
Amazing how it was designed.
Don and Vi also delivered early
Christmas decorations around
Philip.
Steve Hamilton, executive director of the South Dakota Pilots
Association
from
Yankton,
stopped by for a visit at our place
Tuesday morning. He was on his
way to Rapid City to meet with
Norma Kramer at the South
Dakota Air and Space Museum
and upgrade the display there.
Bill was at the card room in
Philip, but came home early and
serviced the motor home while the
weather was nice, it got to 55 that
afternoon.
Wednesday there was heavy fog
in Sturgis, in the afternoon it
started to drizzle and some freezing rain, then the wind came up
and it started to snow about dark.
Thursday morning a light snow
dusted the ground and the wind
blew all day with colder temperatures. Friday, Cathy Fiedler drove
to Spearfish to get Laurel
(Williams) Cooley so they could
meet Lynette Klumb, Hannah and
Sherry Hanson for lunch to honor
Laurel and Hannahs birthdays
which were Monday. Due to miscommunications, Laurel didnt
make it. They have reset the date
for lunch. Laurel lives in Edgewood Vista Assisted Living in
Spearfish and is doing well.
Cathy, Lynette, Hannah and
Sherry did have lunch though
Wednesday morning, I picked
up Lila Whidlby for bowling. Jody
Struble is on our team now, taking
Vonda Hamills place since Vonda
is teaching. Lila was patient while
I did some more wreath deliveries.
I enjoyed a visit with Clark Morrision. He was recovering from
burning from x-rays. It seems that

its possible if you have had a lot
of radiation an x-ray can cause
real issues. Glad things are settling down.
Wednesday was slack day for
Don and Vi Moody and Bob and
Kathy Norton, so they shopped for
groceries in Kadoka, had a carryout hot lunch picnic for a drive
around the area winding up at the
Belvidere dam and everyone
thought it looked like a great summer boating and fishing experience. Bob wrote that note in his
calendar. They continued on south
to the White River and almost became part of a cattle drive on the
gravel road. Bob and Kathy were
guests of Don and Vi's that night
for supper and enjoyed visiting of
past tales and hunting adventures.
Wednesday, Ralph and Cathy
Fiedler picked up Cathys friend,
Sonja Nonnast, in Whitewood and
took her out for lunch in Spearfish
where Lynette works. Sunday was
Sonjas birthday, so this was her
birthday lunch.
Sandee Gittings was in Philip
and Midland Wednesday morning
on business. Roxie Gittings arrived Wednesday afternoon at the
George and Sandees. She and
Sandee went to Rapid City in the
evening and spent the night at the
home of Chris and Kaelyn McSherry. Hunters arrived at the Gittings home Wednesday afternoon
and more came Thursday. George
did a pretty good job of getting
breakfast fixed for the guys since
Sandee and Roxie were gone.
Wednesday, Tony Harty made a
trip to Wanblee and picked up
supplies for the Hairs. L.D. and
Shirley Hair pulled their camper
back to Kadoka and were getting
settled in again here after working road construction for the summer/fall. Tony dropped off what
mail and supplies they had and
visited briefly.
Thursday, Don and Vi Moody
and Bob and Kathy Norton had
another errand into Philip and
Kathy wanted to be sure and meet
Mike Moses. They have a tie with
young friends who live near Sioux
Falls. Don and Vi forgot an appointment for Don at the Philip
clinic, so they hurried back into

town. While Vi was waiting near
the lab, she saw Bud Stickler and
found out Dorothy was still in the
hospital, so Don and Vi went and
visited with Dorothy for a bit.
Thursday, there was a light
snow on the ground here in
Kadoka. Tony Harty picked up
mail and delivered Hairs mail
when he stopped for a visit that
day. He was a caller at Hairs the
rest of the week.
Bill and I were among the many
gathered for the celebration of life
and services for Shirley Parsons
Thursday afternoon. Our sympathy to the family of Shirley, longtime friend and bowling partner.
Shirley enriched the lives of so
many folks who knew her. Bill and
I went east for supper that night.
Sandee had surgery early
Thursday morning and Roxie
spent the night at Kaelyn's. Roxie
and Sandee returned home Friday
afternoon. The surgery was successful in removing the cancer and
all seems to be going well in the
At this time of Thanksgiving, we

The freedom of this great
country in which we live.
Its opportunity for achievement.
The friendship and confidence
you have shown in us.
For all of these things we are deeply grateful.
Happy Thanksgiving!
process of recovery. Jessica Gittings and Wade McGruder spent

Friday evening, and most of Saturday and Sunday at the George
Gittings home so they could visit
Roxie.
The repair for the Thunderbird
came, so Bill tackled that project
in the crisp cool of the morning
Friday. Being a mechanic is a real
asset when you own an old car. In
the afternoon, he tooled on over to
Philip for cards with it. The car is
white with a red interior and the
intriguing thing about it is the
steering column moves to the
right when in park so the driver
can slide out unhampered by the
wheel. Anyway, he sure is enjoying it. He went out to see what
was happening at the Buchert
farm and helped Terry move combines to where they can be
plugged in. I gave Phyllis Word a
ride downtown to do a little business when I was going.
Friday evening, Cathy Fiedlers
neighbor, Bev, and Cathy attended the parade of trees at a

Are there two Mondays in a
week? Time just cant fly by that
quickly, can it? Im thinking it
can! Days, weeks, months, years,
fly by much too fast. Hard to believe school is almost half over. It
just started, didnt it? Some folks
are still doing their fall harvest,
but most are finished and others
are getting there. Its been a long,
drug out affair. Last week at this
time I was in Mitchell gathering
news for another week, doing it up
on a laptop computer. Just between you and me, I much prefer
my desk top computer, as for me,
typing on a laptop is like being all
thumbs. Truth be known, I made
a deal with our daughter-in-law,
Stephanie. I did the supper dishes
while she typed up my handwritten notes on the laptop. The deal
was made, we finished about the
same time, and seeing her fingers
fly over those keys was a bit awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed my
time with Christopher and
Stephanie, and little Laura, who
is 19-months-old and just so much
fun. Shes a busy little bee; inquisitive over much, jabbering is her
language. One couldnt help but
wonder what she was saying in
her language. When her daddy
came down the stairs to the living
room where the rest of us were,
there was no mistaking what she
said as her face lit up and she
said, My daddy. Moments to
cherish!
Did any
of you see Venus in the evening
sky to the southwest Friday? I did
happen to see it and it was bright.
Kind of neat. Didnt shine out
there for very long though. Made
me think of Sid Iwan and an article he had written of looking toward the sky with his high
powered telescope. Not sure I have
it right about the equipment he
uses for those awesome sights in
the galaxy, but I do know it was
interesting as he shared that of
which he saw.
We wish to express our sincere
sympathies to the family of
Shirley (Eymer) Parsons who
passed away at the age of 82.

Shirley was one of those people
who always had a smile and a
kind word and a way of making
people feel better just by being
around her. I was certain her
mother, Laura (Hand) Emyer, had
worked at the drug store in Philip
for many years. But wanting to be
sure I was correct, I called
Shirleys sister, Sharon Coyle.
Sharon assured me Shirley had
worked there for a number of
years, and of course George Minard was the druggist. He was always such a friendly person and
so was Laura. As Sharon and I
visited, I mentioned Shirley reminding me of their mother,
Laura, and Sharon agreed. As
Sharon shared of Shirleys death
being so unexpected, she also
shared that all of Shirleys kids
were able to make it to the hospital to have their goodbyes with
their mom. Thats what I call,
One of those God things. As
some of you know, Laura was a
sister to Percy Hand, Carrie
(Hand) Standiford, Viola (Hand)
Fosheim, from the Hayes area,
and Juanita (Hand) Nesheim, who
lived in the Sansarc area with her
husband, Otto, and their two kids,
to name a few. Its always a bit
sad to loose people like Shirley,
they touch so many lives on this
journey I call life. Thats why we
need to take time to keep in touch
with folks, because the day will
come when they are but a memory.
Friday, Karel Reiman, Midland, and Mark Reiman, Kadoka,
headed for Mandan, N.D. to the
home of son and brother, Steve
Reiman, having a chance to visit
with Steve and his kids, Patrick,
11, and Becca, nine. Saturday,
everyone enjoyed seeing Becca
play in her volleyball games. From
there everyone visited some book
stores and then it was time for
lunch. Being of German heritage
they chose a German restaurant
and reports are the food was delicious. Saturday evening, everyone
enjoyed a humorous movie before
heading for bed. Sunday, everyone
attended church at Shepherd of
in at Joys Caf which was at the

Standard Station along Hwy. 14.
Thats been a few years ago, right,
Joy? Folks used to enjoy stopping
there for a good meal. Jerrys uncles, Richard and Herb DeYoung,
along with Ray Pellet, Colon Harren, and Joe Schilling, to name a
few, ate many a meal at that caf.
I remember Richard and Herb liking my aunt, Emma Roots, hot
beef. Lots of memories!
Thomas Doolittle goes to
Mitchell Technical Institute at
Mitchell and was excited to report
to his folks, Aaron and Angie
Doolittle, that he had passed his
CDL required test for the field he
is going into. Part of the test was
driving, what we in West River
call a semi truck. East River it is
called a tractor/trailer. Congratulations, Thomas! Carissa Doolittle
is a senior at Black Hills State
University at Spearfish. Both kids
were home this weekend and have
plans on being home for Thanksgiving.
Tel and Ellie Saucerman,
Sawyer, Meleah, and Raygen,
Rapid City, came to the home of
Clint and Prerry Saucerman Friday and spent the night. Their
daughter, Emma, is 11-years-old
and was at a camp in Sioux Falls.
Tel, Ellie, and kids and Wilma
Saucerman had lunch at Clint and
Prerrys after which the Rapid
City bunch headed for home.
Wednesday, the ladies of Trinity Lutheran Church had a get-together for Deanna Finn.
My brother, Phil Meyers,
Pierre, has been having some issues following his nose surgery a
while back. Things seemed to be
going along okay when next thing
he knew his nose began to swell
and so did his eyes. He went to see
the doctor and was told he had an
infection, after giving him antibiotics through an IV and a prescription for antibiotics to take at
home he was sent home. He continued to have problems, so went
back to the doctor, it was found he
had shingles on the left side of his
face. I ask that you keep Phil in
your prayers, his health journey
has been challenging since learning he had cancer some time ago.
Roger Johnson and his wife,
Peg (Hunt) Johnson, live at
Pierre, Rogers mother, Helen
Johnson, Watertown, recently
passed away. Roger and Pegs
the Valley Lutheran before Karel

and Mark headed for home having
had a most enjoyable time with
family.
Shorty and Maxine Jones made
a trip to Rapid City Sunday and
also visited for a bit with daughter-in-law, Melanie Jones, before
heading for home.

Tuesday, November 19, Joy
Jones, Neil Jones and Zak Sinkey
went to Pierre where they met up
with the Trapp family and Audrey
Jones, who teaches art at the Ft.
Pierre school. All were supper
guests of the Mississippi hunters,
who were heading home, hoping to
miss the cold weather predicted
for our area. Coming from Mississippi, you arent used to those cold
temperatures. And now, for the
rest of the story, Mike Trapp was
unable to be there as he works for
West Central Electric, a house
was being moved and his job was
to make sure the electric lines
were raised up and clear for passage. Cody Jones and Steve Daly
were harvesting sunflowers at the
Jones residence. Jerry Jones and
daughter, Cindy Sinkey, were in
Sioux Falls. The rest thoroughly
enjoyed the delicious meal.
Jerry and Joy Jones were
guests of their grandson, Zak
Sinkey, for the community meal at
the Midland School lunchroom
Wednesday, November 20. Reports are that it was a delicious
meal with turkey, potatoes and
gravy and dressing, and even
pumpkin bars for dessert. I gave
school cook, Aimee Block, a call
and she reported there were 80
folks there for the meal. That was
nice. Aimee does a good job of
cooking those meals, so it was nice
so many showed up for the community meal.
Saturday, Rose Nelson and her
son, Wade, made a stop at Jerry
and Joys enjoying visiting, coffee
and chocolate chip cookies, made
by Cassidy Trapp. Chuckling,
Rose mentioned she was hoping
for some of Cassidys good homemade cinnamon rolls, but said the
chocolate chip cookies were good,
too. Joy remembers Rose stopping

Todd Larson and son, Kendall,
Sioux Falls, came to the home of
Todds mom, Sophie and Pat Foley
with plans to do some deer hunting, with Todds brother, Jim Larson, as their hunting guide. Deer
hunters have been in the area,
some having successful hunts.
Saw Sophies granddaughter, Ashley Schofield, at a Kadoka business, Sunday. Ashley teaches
kindergarten at Custer and thoroughly enjoys her job. With her
beautiful smile, Ashley reports,
Enjoying ones job sure makes
getting up in the mornings easier. As some of you know, Ashleys mom, Renee Schofield,
teaches kindergarten, first and
second grade at the Midland
School. Ashley is following in her
moms footsteps, as her mom is a
good teacher, too. Teaching is an
important profession and when
kids are lucky enough to have a
good teacher, thats a win, win, for
everyone.
This Monday morning, I visited
by phone with my cousin, Sylvia
(Root) Huber, who lives in Rapid
City. Shed had a busy weekend as
her church had their annual
bazaar and she also went to the
annual Norwegian fest at Canyon
Lake Saturday. She reports it is a
huge event and those selling their
wares dress in Norwegian style
clothing, making it festive, as they
have for sale rosettes, lefse, items
of rosemaling dcor, and many
other Norwegian items, as well as
many other things. Many of us
have seen and some of us are even
lucky enough to have some of Arline Petoskes beautiful rosemal-
ing items. Some of us are even

lucky enough to have some of her
beautiful paintings.
As I close my column for another week, I leave you with the
following from Jerrys Amish magazine which is titled, Who is Your
Daddy? A seminary professor and
his wife were vacationing and
looking forward to a quiet meal together. They noticed a white
haired gentlemen going from table
to table visiting a bit, and hoped
he wouldnt stop at their table. He
did and asked where they were
from and what they did for a living. Telling him he was a professor at a seminary, he said, So,
you teach preachers how to
preach, do you? and went on to
say he had a great story to share.
He pointed out the window towards a mountain and told that
not far from the base of that
mountain a boy was born to an
unwed mother. He had a hard
time growing up because folks
would often ask, Whos your
daddy? He hid from other students at recess and lunchtime,
even at church he made sure to
leave before the others, so he
wouldnt be asked, because it hurt
so much. One day, they had a new
preacher, and saying the benediction so quickly, the boy didnt get
out in time. The preacher asked,
Son, who is your daddy? The
church was deathly quiet, he felt
all eyes on him, and thought now
everybody would know. The
preacher sensed the situation and
said, Wait a minute! I know who
you are! I see the family resemblance now. You are a child of
God! The boy smiled for the first
time in a long time and walked
out the door a changed person.
Whenever anyone asked, Who is
your daddy? he told them, Im a
child of God. As the gentleman
got up to leave he said, You know
if that new preacher hadnt told
me I was one of Gods children, I
probably never would have
amounted to anything. As the
gentleman left the restaurant, the
professor asked the waitress if she
knew who that was? She told him
everyone here knows him. Hes
governor of Tennessee! Just goes
to show how certain words, a kindness done, can change the journey
of someone, and not even know it.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Online sales may require use tax

Holiday shopping has begun
and as South Dakotans head to
their computers to search for
great deals, the South Dakota Department of Revenue reminds
them that state and municipal use
tax may be due on their purchases.
Business Tax Division Director

Doug Schinkel said many consumers do not realize that most
Internet retailers are not collecting sales tax on online sales, so
use tax would be due.
Many people assume they are
being charged sales tax by Inter-
net retailers because they are

used to paying sales tax on items
they buy in a storefront business,
Schinkel said. But in many cases,
the Internet retailer is not charging the tax. If an individual buys
something online and is not
charged sales tax on the item, it is
up to the purchaser to pay use tax
to the state.
South Dakotas use tax rate is
four percent, the same as the
states sales tax rate. Municipal
tax may also be due based on
where the purchaser receives the

Harty stopped for a sandwich, but
there was quite a line-up, so he
enjoyed visiting with folks as the
line cleared away, then got his
lunch and went home to spend the
afternoon enjoying movies.
Bill and I were on the road to
Rapid City after breakfast Sunday
morning. We got a notice that
Raiden Wayne Seager was going
to be baptized at the Saint
Matthews Episcopal Church that
day. The Venerable Paul Sneve officiated and there were six baptisms. It seems that the priest will
be leaving at the end of the year
and many wanted him to be the
officiating priest. Ryder received
his blessings when he was baptized January 2, 2011. Bill
thought the notice was a bit late,
but as I reminded him, we went to
that same church on Christmas
Eve in 1960 with Kurvin Curtis
and Ruth Nieshem, that was definitely spur of the moment. Also,
when we got married it was a spur
of the moment decision, so not to
let little things bother! We enjoyed
a festive dinner with the congregation and Zack, Cori, Ryder and
Raiden, then visited at the Seager
home before returning home. I decided our shoes needed polishing
before we left, so while digging out
the polish discovered another
mouse bit the dirt. Where do those
things come in? Julie Hermann
from Kadoka came by with some
projects for me that evening. The
final call of the evening was Terry
Buchert calling to tell Bill they
could get some corn harvested.

ish that bottle of wine first. A gift
from Eric Seager's friend who
hunts ducks in Rapid Valley at
the Moody's. Marsha teasingly
knew about this gift and thought
Eric should have gotten the wine
Vi said take that up with the duck
hunter! The video was from 1955
to about 1959 of old 8mm super
eight camera which had been
spliced into a two hour movie. It
was hilarious. But actually a great
collection of moving pictures of
many events, ranch life, trips to
Canada and western states, high
school days. Paula Rock Vogelsang tossing her baton in front of
the band during the St. Martins
Academy parade. Vi's sister,
Norma, was in the St. Martins
band in 1958-59 and Vi was in the
Philip High School marching band
and they both were in the same
parade. That was cool. So, a great
evening was held.
Bob and Kathy pulled out early
Sunday morning after Bob got the
gas pedal unfrozen on the Razor
before he drove into their dining
room. Don and Vi heard they
were near the pass between
Trinidad, Colo., and Raton, N.M.
It was a nice week with the Nortons staying 10 days.
Keeping corn in good condition
while stored in bins is essential if
you want the grain to hold value.
Starting with clean grain, loading
properly and using proper airflow
and temperature will help keep
the grain in good condition while
in the bin over the winter. With so
much corn having high moisture,
you really need to watch it for
heating and forming a cap in the
bin.
Sunday after church, Tony
A daughter, Henlie Marie, was

born to Alex and Jenni Radway
November 19 in Rapid City. She
weighed 6 lb. 4 oz. and measured
18 1/2 inches. Henlie has an older
sister, Adlee. Congratulations to
the parents, grandparents, Tom
and Marie Radway, and greatgrandparents, Jeanne Radway
and Al and Lenore Brucklacher.

Theresa Deuchar, Mary Nelson
and Gayla Piroutek from St.
Marys Catholic Church were at
the nursing home in Philip last
Friday with some seasonal poems.
They also guided the residents as
they made turkey decorations for
their rooms. The feathers were flying, but all seemed to have a good
time designing their Thanksgiving turkey. Several of the residents were talented artists and
had discerning eyes.
Dan and Gayla Piroutek took a
quick Thanksgiving trip for their
last visit to Muskegon, Mich. They
stopped in Sioux Falls to pick up
son-in-law Joe Hogue and grandson Jacob. The plan was to finish
packing up Amy and Joe's belongings in Michigan, as their house
has been sold. Dan and Gayla are
making this a quick trip by returning to Milesville Saturday.
Amy, Joe, Jacob and Eli will move
in to their new home in Sioux
Falls on December 3.

their way home, they stopped in
Philip and had supper at Bill and
Karyl Sandal's.
Marcy Parsons, Autumn, Kamri
and Keenan, spent the weekend
with Marcy's sister, Ashley and
Brock Heid in Rapid City. The
kids' grandparents, Jim and Betty
Smith, who were also visiting,

kindly offered to watch them
while the ladies did some Christmas shopping. Sunday afternoon,
Marcy and her kids went to see
Joanne Parsons and had supper at
her house before coming home.
The Milesville Hall board held
their annual meeting Tuesday
evening. Plans are being made for
the community play to be held in
late January also, the annual
Fourth of July barbecue, games
and fireworks. Hall board members are Gayla Piroutek, Donna
Staben, Carla Smith, Tonya Berry
and Mark Radway.
Congratulations to Marlis Doud
who recently completed a 60-mile
Susan G. Komen Three Day Race
For The Cure in San Diego, Calif.

Marlis is very dedicated to this
cause and preparing for this event
was hard at times, I'm sure. We're
proud of you, Marlis!
Friday evening, Jim and Lana
Elshere, Tim Elshere and Bart
Parsons drove to Faith for a supper and send-off for Cole Elshere,
who will be leaving for Las Vegas
before long. Cole will be competing
at the NFR in saddle bronc. Go,
Cole!
I hope you all have a wonderful
Thanksgiving with your family

traveling weather, unlike the
northeast and along the East
Coast of our country

The time just gets away from a
person and its time for news
again. I have been doing some
baking and had poor luck with my
bread and cinnamon rolls. I made
two batches that were awful. I just
couldnt figure out what was
wrong as I always use the same
recipe. I decided after awhile it
must be the flour although it was
the brand I have always used. So,
I threw it out and opened a new
sack. Well, it turned out that it
was the flour, as the next batches
turned out good.
Marvin Eide helped Donnie
Poss work cattle this week, a job
that needs done for everyone in
the late fall, sorting out culls, dry
and old cows, as well as vaccinating and getting them ready for
winter. Most everyone has their
calves weaned that they are keeping over the winter. Otherwise, he
has been moving some stacks and
is now feeding the cows a little
along with the grazing that is left
in the cane and winter wheat
fields.
I see that Bill Gottsleben is also
moving stacks home and getting
ready for winter. Seems like you
take the last hay out in the spring
and then you start putting it up
again for the next year.
Donna Newman had hunters at
her place this last weekend, Jeremy Delany and a friend, Chris.
Mike and Evalou Ligtenberg,
Mitchell, came to hunt Friday and
returned home Monday.
Wednesday, Donna was in
Philip for bowling. Then on Thursday, she attended Shirley Parsons
funeral.
Donna and 12 members of the
Philip parish went to Murdo for
church as they were having a
brunch and surprise party for
their
minister,
Rev.
Ray
Greenseth. She said that they really did surprise him and all enjoyed the day.
Several from this neighborhood
attended the funeral for Shirley
Parsons Thursday held at the Legion Hall. There was a large
crowd attending. It was a very
nice service. Shirley was a nice
person to know. She was so interesting to visit with. Shirley and I
played softball on a grandmothers
team. Some others on the team
were Lenore Brucklacher, Francis
Fitch and Sharon Coyle. I cant remember who else played with us
at this moment. Al Brucklacher
was our coach. We always had a
good time and traveled to other
communities also.
Sympathy goes out to the families of Shirley Parson and Duane
Bessette. They shall be missed not
only by their families, but also by
their many friends.
Herb and Hazel Sieler entertained deer hunters this week
also. Their hunters got a couple
trophy deer that they were impressed with. Herb said that he is
also busy hauling in hay and getting feed close to home for winter.
Chancie (Smith) Daenen bought
a ticket to go to London, England,
as her husband, Aaron, was being
sent over there pertaining to his
job and she wanted to go along.
They were gone a week and said
that they got to see a lot of interesting things while sightseeing

when they had time. She said that
the weather was rainy which London is noted for.
Kieth, Tucker and Lincoln
Smith got all their milo cut and
now are busy trying to get the
corn harvested.
Debbie Smith was in Philip
Thursday taking pictures at the
nursing home. Lois Porch and
Debbie Carley were also there
making the residents pretty with
hairdos and makeup and all had
their pictures taken. They sure do
enjoy this and their families are
always glad to get recent pictures
of their loved ones who live there.
My daddy keeps a rabbits foot,
For luck, within his wallet;
And mom wears tiny horseshoes
Strung upon a what-cha-call-it.
My grandma wears my photograph,
For love, within her locket;
But grandpa wears his China
teeth;
For comfort, in his pocket!

May everyone enjoy Thanksgiving and gather with family and
friends. May we remember to be
thankful for what we have, no
matter how small or big. We are
blessed to have what we do. As we
watch the news and see what others are going through, we really
cant help but know that we are so
blessed to live here in this area
where we can enjoy our family and
friends and share with those who
are not as fortunate.
Public notices in newspapers

bolster government transparency
by David Bordewyk
general manager, S.D.
Newspaper Association
Earlier this month, Governor
Dennis Daugaard used his weekly
column to share information with
citizens about moving state government toward more transparency and accessibility.
Specifically, he wrote about the
launch of a new state government
website that makes it easier for
the public to learn about administrative rules and regulations that
are proposed and implemented by
various state agencies. The new
website is rules.sd.gov.
Congratulations to the governor
for creating a practical and useful
website that will well serve the
citizens of South Dakotans. And
thank you to Gov. Daugaard for
bringing more attention to the
need for transparency in government.
"I strongly believe that the
workings of government should be
as transparent as possible," the
governor wrote in his column. "As
South Dakota citizens, you deserve the opportunity to know
about and participate in your government."
Here, here! I couldn't agree
more. That's a message newspapers have been promoting for
decades and it's gratifying to see
more and more embrace the ideals
of transparency and open government.
Last month the 130 member
newspapers of South Dakota
Newspaper Association observed
the first ever Public Notices

Month in South Dakota. It was an
opportunity to bring attention to
public notices such as school board
minutes and delinquent property
tax lists published in the local
newspaper and to the role those
notices play in our democracy.
Just like the point made by the
governor in his column, public notices in the local newspaper create
the opportunity for us as citizens
and taxpayers to know about and
participate in our government.
A key point to remember is that
public notices published in the
local newspaper provides an independent, third-party, authentification step in the process of
delivering the public notices to
the public. That third party is the
newspaper.
The newspaper, as publisher of
government public notices, provides an independent verification
and delivery of government information. It is more powerful and
more effective than government itself being the sole author, editor
and distributor of information
that we as taxpayers need to
know.
And it's permanent. Public notices published in the local newspaper create a bonafide record
that cannot be hacked, manipulated or deleted. It's ink on paper.
In fact, an official notarized copy
of every public notice published in
newspapers is prepared as a legal
document of that printed record of
government action.
Newspapers in South Dakota

recognize the role of the Internet
for searching and accessing information. That is why the 130 newspapers in our state have
cooperated to provide www.sdpublicnotices.com, a searchable website that aggregates all of the
public notices first published in
the local newspaper. Newspapers
provide that website at no charge
to government or citizens.
But it all begins with the publication of a government notice in
your local newspaper. We tagged
our Public Notices Month observance with a "VIP" theme. Verifiable, independent and permanent.
Or, valuable, important and public. Either way, these are all adjectives that describe the significance
of public notices published in your
local newspaper.
As the governor wrote in his column, Even when information is
open, however, it isn't very useful
when it cannot be easily accessed.
Putting information online, in one
location, with appropriate explanation, allows the public to participate in government at a higher
level."
I like to think that publishing
public notices in the local newspaper that is complete with other
local, relevant news and information and that is delivered to your
doorstep or mailbox can take that
public participation to an even
higher level yet.
It makes you the citizen a
VIP.

after the PVFD BBQ Fundraiser @ Fire Hall
LINE-UP AT THE PHILIP LEGION HALL AT 5:30 P.M.
Parade starts at 6:30 p.m.
Greetings from beautiful, cool,

sunny northeast Haakon County.
What a gorgeous day! The wind
isn't blowing right now, and the
birds are thick in the trees. I even
saw some bluejays this morning
they are such aggressive birds. I'll
bet they aren't very popular
among the other birds it seems
that the bluejays could use an attitude adjustment.
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone enjoys the
day and takes the time to truly reflect on all we have to be thankful
for. Family, friends and faith are
at the top of my list!
Contacting the neighbors was
kind of a hit and miss venture this
week, so news will be a little
short. With this nice weather and
the holidays looming, I'll bet
everyone has plenty to do besides
sit by the phone.
Duane Roseth and Dick Hudson
went to a parish board meeting in
Midland Monday night. Lola
Roseth attended an emergency
management meeting in Kadoka
Monday morning. On the way
home, she stopped in Philip to
visit her mother, Joy Klima, at the
Philip Nursing Home. Lola fixed
Joy's hair, and the ladies took advantage of the nice day by taking
a walk. I'll bet that was a bright
spot in Joy's day!
Nels and Dorothy Paulson have
been keeping busy with fall work.
Dorothy attended church Sunday,
and she had some car trouble on
the way home. The car quit and
wouldn't start, and of course the
cell phone had no service. Dorothy
had to walk a ways before the
phone had a signal, and then she
was able to contact Nels to come
rescue her. Thank goodness it
wasn't snowing and blowing and

Kevin and Mary Neuhauser had
hunters from Sioux Falls for several days last week as well as the
weekend. Their hunters have been
coming to Robbs Flat for several
years, and they generally cook
great food while they are here.
This year was no exception. They
have got pork loin preparation
down to a science. Kevin and
Mary's daughter, Sarah, and her
friend, Eric Bedney, were home
for the weekend, as was Kevin and

Saturday to spend some time with

Brianna helped Mary with a painting project while they were home.
The whole group family and
hunters alike enjoyed lots of
cards and dice games over the
weekend, as well as the excellent
food.
Laura Alleman said she and
Clint are staying busy with harvest and cattle work. Laura has
also been swamped with Christmas orders she is a very accomplished artist and crafter. And of

keeps them hopping, also!

CHRISTMAS IN MIDLAND

AT MIDLAND LEGION HALL.

Dick and Gene Hudson were in
Philip last Thursday to attend funeral services for Shirley Parsons.
Sunday, they attended church and
Julian and Coreen Roseth served
lunch. Sunday evening, Dick and
Gene visited at Billy and Arlyne
Markwed's home and enjoyed
some card playing. Gene said the
chickens are still on strike at their
place. They might need a new crop
of chickens come spring.
Julian and Coreen Roseth have
had lots of grandparent time the
past couple of weeks, and I think
they enjoy every minute. The
opening weekend of deer season,
Kristin (Roseth) Martin and her
three children came to the ranch
Friday evening. Saturday, Kristin,
Adam and Jodi all went deer hunting, and grandma Coreen had all
six grandchildren (Kristin's three
plus Adam and Jodi's three) she
said the house was pretty lively.
This past Sunday evening, Kristin
brought her twin boys to the ranch
to stay with grandma Coreen
while Kristin attended meetings in
Pierre Monday. It sure is nice to
have family close by.
Billy and Arlyne Markwed went
to Highmore last Wednesday to
visit Ruth Neuhauser. They also
took her some birthday cake to celebrate Ruth's recent birthday.
Sunday, they attended church and
Blast from the Past|

entertained Dick and Gene Hudson that evening. Monday afternoon, Clint and Jenna Bresee,
Sioux Falls, came to the ranch to
spend a few days and do some
hunting.
T.J. Gabriel has been busy with
cattle work. Saturday evening,
T.J. and Jeannine went to Pierre
to attend a movie, and the children stayed with great-grandpa
Billy and great-grandma Arlyne.
Frank and Shirley Halligan
were in town last Tuesday to rake
the last of the leaves from their
yard, and they took in a movie
while they were in town. Saturday, Shirley attended the event at
Kirley Hall sort of an open house
for local folks who have homebased businesses.
Ruth Neuhauser said she received lots of cards, calls, and
flowers in honor of her recent
birthday, and she appreciated all
of them! She enjoyed the visits
from her friends, Billy and Arlyne
Markwed, and granddaughter,
Sarah, and her friend, Eric, this
week, also.
Max and Joyce Jones traveled to
Brookings last Tuesday to help install the daughter of dear friends
as the new Eastern Star Worthy
Matron there. While there, they
had the opportunity to visit with
many old friends. They returned
home Wednesday. Fall harvest is
still in progress at the Jones'
place, but they are getting closer
to being done. The harvest this
year has been quite a challenge
due to all the moisture, which is
not a problem we are used to having.
Lee Briggs has also been busy
working on harvest and doing
some trucking. Mary Briggs' sister, Sally Sanderson, Texas, is in
South Dakota visiting family, and
she came out to the ranch with
Mary last Thursday evening. Friday, their sister, Sue Starr, joined
them, and the ladies spent the day
going through some mementos
from their parents. Sue returned

to her home in Dupree Saturday,
and Mary took Sally back to
Pierre. The trip to Pierre served
double duty Mary also had to
pick up parts. She returned home,
only to find that she had to return
to Pierre for more parts. That will
eat up a day in a hurry. But I
guess one thing you can depend on
when you are using machinery
it is going to break down at some
point. You just always hope that it
is nothing too serious.
Our week here was busy with
cattle work and hunters. The
hunters had fairly good luck earlier in the week, but the deer have
gotten progressively harder to
find. I don't know if they are getting smarter or more scarce.
Whatever the case, the hunters
are really having to work in order
to be successful. I've been busy
with projects that didn't get accomplished while we had lots of
company cleaning, dusting, sorting, tossing, window washing, etc.
It feels good as each task is
checked off the list!
This week, I am grateful for
hunters from the D.C. area. They
drove to South Dakota, and they
offered to take things back to our
daughter, Lori, who also lives in
the D.C. area. So I loaded up two
boxes one full of home-raised
beef and another full of her favorite home-canned goodies, and
the hunter delivered the boxes to
Lori last weekend. Thank goodness the meat stayed frozen and
the other box didn't freeze! It
would have been really difficult to
get the boxes to her by regular
means. But care packages from
home are always a treat.
I hope you all have a wonderful
Thanksgiving. And I hope you will
have a chance to get out and enjoy
the beautiful weather. It is almost
December, so the nice weather
may not last too much longer!
Make it a great week.

Student council at region workshop Senate candidate
Nelson visits Philip

Philip High School student council members attended the Rushmore Region Workshop in Sturgis, October 30. Approximately 180 student council
members from area schools attended the workshop, which was themed Fit For Life. The members attended break-out sessions on leadership and
healthy living, as well as networked with students from other schools. Regional state board representative Katlin Knutson and Region parlimentarian
Peyton DeJong helped with the planning and implementation of the region workshop. Shown, from left are Tristen Rush, Peyton Kuchenbecker, Elise
Wheeler, Shay Hand, DeJong, Madison Hand, James Fitzgerald, Knutson, Riley Heltzel and Bailey Radway.

The town of Philip was one of
Stace Nelsons many stops, as he
canvassed the state of South
Dakota on his bid for the United
States Senate seat that will be vacated by Tim Johnson.
His visit in Philip on Tuesday,
November 19, was because of Elizabeth May, Kyle, Republican
member of the South Dakota
House of Representatives representing District 27, and Pat and
Mary Guptill, Quinn.
Johnson stressed that he is a
true conservative, who wants less
government and less taxes. One of
his main running points is to limit
politicians to two terms total in
the Senate and two in the House
no more career politicians.
Career politicians go along to
get ahead, said Nelson. I am a
public servant, not a career politician. More information can be
found on his website, stacenelson.com.
Nelson said that he is running
on his record, while other candidates for the seat are running
away from their records. He is a
retired Marine, and a retired federal agent who has dealt with national security. He said that he is
a South Dakota farm boy and
stays in touch with the land
through his hobby farm.
Nelson said that career politi-
cians, in order to stay employed,

must be careful to not take too
clear of a stand on issues. When
you take a stand on issues, you
alienate people, said Nelson. He
wants the voters to know what he
believes in. Whether they agree
with me or not, they will know
where I stand on all the issues.
Nelson stated that one of his opponents, Mike Rounds, has name
recognition as an advantage,
though many people do not know
for sure where Rounds stands on
specific issues. Nelson stated that
another opponent, Larry Rhoden,
knows West River conservatives,
but is a chameleon conservative
who has voted other than conservative on many issues.
Movie night in Philip
Philip High School juniors and seniors attended the Dakota Association for
College Admission Counseling post high school planning day event, October 24. Representatives from colleges, vo-techs and military branches were

Training video for rural accident readiness

The South Dakota Farm Bureau has created a video to prepare people on how to respond if
they happen to be the first to come
across a rural accident scene.
The First At Scene Training
(F@ST) video walks through reenactments of eight common rural
accident scenes while veteran first
responders offer instruction on

what to do.
In a rural or agricultural setting, the first person to come upon
an accident scene is most likely a
family member or a friend, said
Cindy Foster, chair of the SDFB
womens leadership team. The

Dictionaries for Education Week
Del Bartels
Since 2005, the local American Legion Auxiliary, Unit 173, has annually presented new paperback dictionaries
to the third grade students in Philip and in the country schools. Auxiliary representatives Kay Ainslie and Gayle
Rush explained to the students what the auxiliary is. The students spent a few moments telling of relatives they
have who are or were in the military. Each dictionary had the students name already in it. The dictionaries also
have extra information in the back, such as a copy of the Declaration of Independence, presidents, states, multiplication tables, Roman numerals, world maps, the planets, and an illustration of sign language. Instructor Jessica
Wheeler pointed out, They are a lot of fun to look through. Shown are, back row, from left: Rush, Jesse Thorson,

Range beef cow symposium December 3-5

The 23rd Range Beef Cow Symposium will be held at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid
City, December 3-5.
The event is held every other
year. It is organized by Extension
beef cattle specialists from the
Land Grant Universities in a four
state region, including South
Dakota State University.

Fetal programming will be one
focus of discussion. This is an area
of recent beef cattle research that
looks at the influence of the level
of nutrition to pregnant cows on
the developing fetus and subsequent lifetime productivity after
birth. The effects on replacement
heifers and the effects on progeny

carcass and meat characteristics
will be discussed. Health impacts
by natural disasters on livestock
will also be a topic for discussion.
Attendees may ask questions of
all speakers during the evening
bull pen sessions.

member disaster fund from Breanna Bregal, North Dakota state treasurer,
and Bruce Bachmeier, North Dakota FFA Foundation president, while at
the National FFA Convention, in Louisville, Ky.
The FFA motto states that FFA

members are living to serve. As a
result of storm Atlas, FFA members across the state and nation
rallied to serve those in need.
The South Dakota FFA Foundation created a fund to split among
FFA members who experienced
losses to their livestock supervised
agricultural experience projects
due to the storm. Individuals, chapters and foundations from nine
states raised $17,630.06 for S.D.
FFA members in need.
Craig Shryock, Wessington
Springs FFA advisor, said, It
wont come close to replacing the
losses, but knowing others are
thinking of them and feeling their
pain goes a long way.
Members from South Dakota,
North Dakota, Nebraska, Indiana,
Minnesota, West Virginia, Kentucky, Colorado and Montana held
fundraisers and sent donations to
help South Dakota FFA members.
Gerri Ann Eide, S.D. FFA Foundation executive director said, It
was humbling to get emails and
phone calls from FFA advisors and
chapter officers across the country
wanting to know more about the
need, and letting us know they
would help. It makes me proud to
know FFA members care about
others and are willing to help.
According to Eide, the South

Dakota State University Extension
service was used to determine fair
market value for animals lost to
the storm. Amount presented to individuals in local FFA chapters
was determined by applications
filed with the FFA Foundation by
the local advisor of those members.
Members of the Philip FFA chapter received some of these funds.

Noem unveils new school nutrition bill
Congresswoman Kristi Noem
(R-SD) has unveiled a new school
nutrition bill that reduces federal
mandates on school lunch standards, which have been a point of
contention since their implementation at the beginning of the 2012
school year.
The announcement was made
while Noem ate lunch with high
school students in Chester, November 25.
As a mother of three, I know
every kid has a different activity
level and different nutrition
needs, so forcing schools into a
one-size-fits-all school lunch program doesnt work for our schools
or our students, said Noem.
Current school lunch standards place an unnecessary burden on school administrators,
especially in some of our smaller
school districts, our poorest coun-
ties and our reservations, and

send many of our kids home feeling hungry. My Reducing Federal
Mandates on School Lunch Act
gives flexibility to schools to help
ensure our kids get the nutrition
they need to be healthy and successful throughout the day.
The Reducing Federal Mandates on School Lunch Act will be
introduced during the first week
of December. The legislation,
which is endorsed by the National
School Boards Association, would
make the USDAs temporary easing of the meat and grain requirements
permanent,
allowing
schools more flexibility in serving
meats and grains while still staying within calorie maximums. It
would also give administrators
flexibility on some of the rules
that have increased costs for
school districts.
Thune on Obamacare enrollment

United States Senator John
Thune (R-S.D.) has made the following comment regarding the
Obama administrations acknowledgment that only 106,185 Americans were able to sign up for
Obamacare in the first month of
the enrollment period:
As millions of Americans continue to lose the health care they
have and like, today we learned
that an embarrassingly small

number of Americans have signed
up for Obamacare. In South
Dakota, only 58 were able to successfully sign up a miniscule
number compared to the thousands who are losing their current
care. The president and Senate
Democrats need to uphold their
promise that Americans can keep
the care they have and like.
Throughout the year, communities across South Dakota rely on

the generosity of their local businesses. Whether asked to sponsor
the local softball team, contribute
to the community fireworks show,
or support the homecoming parade, we expect local businesses to
rise to the occasion and support
developments, projects, and student organizations.
While these businesses are typically among the first to step up
and meet community needs, the
conscious decision to shop local is
what keeps their doors open and
their businesses stimulating our
local economies.
The lagging economy and rising
health care costs have made the
economic climate particularly difficult for many small businesses.
This uncertainty has led to revenue and job loss, and many small
businesses wonder how they will
weather the economic storm.
The hope for any small business
during the holiday season is that
members of their community will
first choose to shop local for their
holiday gifts. The loyalty and patronage of customers to small
businesses across the state injects
money into local establishments,
helping them to lower prices and
provide a greater array of products and services.
In Washington, I believe we
must do more to provide certainty
and support for our small busi-
nesses, which are the primary

source of job creation in our country.
Small businesses in South
Dakota and across the country
continue to struggle under the
weight of Obamacare mandates.
According to a Wells Fargo/Gallup
Small Business Index survey earlier this year, nearly four in 10
small business owners are holding
back hiring because of costs associated with implementing Obamacare. Instead of putting up
more roadblocks preventing small
businesses from expanding and
creating jobs, we should be working to provide certainty by repealing Obamacare and starting over
with common-sense reforms that
actually reduce health care costs
for businesses and families alike.
While Congress has much work
to do when it comes to providing
regulatory relief for small businesses and creating an economic
climate that encourages businesses to expand and hire, the
best way for South Dakotans to
help small businesses is to shop
local.
As the holiday season kicks off,
I encourage South Dakotans not
to limit your small business patronage to Small Business Saturday. Remember to support your
friends; support your community;
and support small businesses by
shopping local throughout this
holiday season.
Have a safe Thanksgiving holiday!
Our best
wishes for a
Happy Thanksgiving!
Do feeding
budgets work
at record feeder
cattle prices?
A large corn crop and falling
corn prices this fall have resulted
in record or near record high
feeder steer prices, said Darrell R.
Mark, adjunct professor of economics at South Dakota State
University.
Prices for 700-799 pound yearling steers in South Dakota posted
an all-time record high of $172.64
per hundredweight during the
week ending October 18, which
Mark explained was the first week
of reporting after the government
shutdown ended.
In the weeks since then, those
yearling steer prices have settled
back to $169 to $170 per hundredweight; still, thats fully $30 per
hundredweight higher than during late May 2013, he said.
Lighter weight steer calves
weighing between 500 and 599
pounds have averaged $190-191
per hundredweight for the last
month, which Mark said is only
about eight dollars per hundredweight lower than the all-time
high established in June 2012 for
this weight of feeder steers.
He explained that the price increases in the feeder cattle market
are resulting from both supply
and demand factors.
Historically small cow herds
have restricted calf crop supplies
for several consecutive years.
Now, as some herd rebuilding begins, fewer heifers are available
for feeding as more are held for
breeding replacement, he said.
On the demand side, ample feeding capacity and much lower corn
prices this fall have spurred interest in placing feeder cattle
amongst commercial feedyards
and farmer-feeders.
Mark said it is likely that these
supply and demand fundamentals
will not change for a year or more,
which could drive feeder cattle
prices to new highs in the year
ahead. In the meantime, examin-
ing the economics of feeding programs at current price levels is

important.
At $4.10 per bushel for corn, $59
per ton for wet distillers grain,
and $60 per ton for ground corn
stalks, a feed ration can cost about
$172 per ton on a dry matter
basis, Mark explained.
When adding in other costs like
yardage, death loss, veterinary
and health, and interest on the
feeder steer and half of the variable feed expenses, total cost of
gain is about $82 per hundredweight, assuming average cattle
performance, he said. With
hedging opportunities around
$136 per hundredweight for April
2014 fed cattle, there is about $82
per head profit in placing these
yearling steers now.
Mark also projected the feeding
costs for placing lighter weight
calves on feed at todays prices.
Doing so is a breakeven proposition, he said, because the finished
date is later in the summer during
the seasonal low in the fed cattle
market.
He noted that it might be possible to avoid marketing the calffeds during this time period by
lengthening the feeding period
and targeting them for slaughter
after prices seasonally rebound
from the summer lows in September or October.
Doing so would likely require
different feedstuffs as the feeding
period would need more of a pronounced backgrounding/growing
phase, he said.
As always, cattle performance,
and other assumptions will differ
amongst feeders. But, based on
these averages, it would appear
that there is a profit opportunity
to feeding cattle even at todays
near record feeder cattle prices.
And, thats something thats been
hard to come by for several years,
he said.

Thanksgiving marks the start of

a month-long holiday season, and
Fire Marshal Paul Merriman
urges South Dakotans to celebrate
the season but be aware of the
added potential for fires.
The season means more cooking, Christmas trees in homes,
holiday lighting and decorative
candles, Merriman said. Each of
those things is a potential fire
risk.
We all love the trees and lights
and the scent and sight of glowing
candles, he said. Those are wonderful parts of the season. But,
they can be fire hazards if not
handled properly. We dont want
anyones Thanksgiving or Christmas ruined by a home fire.
The season usually means more
cooking, Merriman said. The National Fire Prevention Association
said 40 percent of home fires start
in the kitchen. The association
made cooking fires the theme of
its annual Fire Prevention Week
earlier this fall.
It is something to remember
throughout the holiday season,
Merriman said. People get busier
during the holidays, and we can
become rushed, tired or distracted, he said. No matter how
busy we get, its important not to
leave the kitchen while cooking.
The potential for a cooking fire
can be reduced by turning off
burners if you leave the kitchen.
Wear clothing with tight-fitting

sleeves when you cook. Keep
potholders, oven mitts, wooden
utensils, paper and plastic bags,
towels and anything else that can
burn, away from your stovetop.
And, clean up food and grease
from burners and stovetops.
Safety tips to reduce the risk of
other holiday-related home fires
include, if you have a natural tree
in your home, check the amount of
water in the stand each day. A
fresh tree can take in up to a quart
of water a day. Place the tree
away from heat sources such as
fireplaces and heaters, and do not
place it in an exit path.
Never use candles on or near a
tree. Make sure the lights you use
are UL listed and not frayed or
damaged. Do not use outdoor
lights indoors or indoor lights outdoors. Dont overload electrical circuits. Use approved circuit strips
and turn off all Christmas lights
before leaving the home or retiring for the evening.
Put lit candles in glass safety
globes and keep lit candles away
from drafty windows and doorways.
Avoid the temptation to burn
cardboard boxes or holiday wrapping paper in a fireplace. Those
materials burn at very high temperatures and not all fireplaces
are suited to burn those materials.
