Rancher Cattle Business Weekly publishers honored

Relief
as BHSS 2014 Agri-Businessmen of the Year
Fund
Four months after the devastating winter storm Atlas struck
western South Dakota, the
Rancher Relief Fund (RRF) is
poised to disburse an additional
$3.3 million to hundreds of livestock producers in the impacted
area.
The Rancher Relief Fund distributed nearly $775,000 to impacted livestock producers prior
to the application deadline of
December 31. With more than
600 applications received, the
SD Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (SDVOAD) will
be working as quickly as possible to disburse an additional
$3.3 million to the qualified applicants in the coming weeks.
All disbursements are based
on criteria established by representatives of the founding livestock organizations. In order to
qualify for assistance from the
Rancher Relief Fund, applicants
must demonstrate they are livestock producers and they must
have lost a minimum of 10 percent of their livestock herd.

Thousands of cattle producers
in the region sit down to read The
Cattle Business Weekly newspaper each week for its market news
and industry coverage. It is a publication known to be published,
For Cattlemen by Cattlemen
and in this case the cattlemen behind the newspaper are Don Ravellette and Donnie Leddy. The two
have been chosen as this years
Agri-Businessmen of the Year by
the Black Hills Stock Show and
will be awarded the honor at the
Stockmans Banquet and Ball February 5.
The two began their newspaper
partnership in 2005 after becoming acquainted while providing
ringman service for many of the
same seedstock sales. The two
held a belief that a newspaper
dedicated solely to the cattle industry of South Dakota and surrounding states was in need.
They decided to put their skills
and backgrounds together and
The Cattle Business Weekly was
born.
Don Ravellette holds knowledge
of publishing and printing from
his familys ownership of Ravellette Publications, Inc. based out
of Philip. In 1987, Don became a
full partner in the well-established family business and
throughout the years has added
additional community newspapers
to the publishing company that
was started in 1963. Ravellette
Publications owns eight publications in western South Dakota
and just completed their 50th year
in business. Don served as president of the South Dakota Daily
and Weekly Newspaper Association in 2001.
Don married a ranch girl from
Milesville, Tami Sandal, 33 years

ago. They have lived in Philip all

their life and also own a registered
and commercial herd of cattle.
They have four children: Tasya is
a teacher in Wyoming. Beau manages the printing department at
Ravellette Publications and cattle
sales for RPI Promotions. Beau's
wife, Mary, works at The Cattle
Business Weekly in accounting
and graphics. Beau and Mary
have two children Gage and
Taryn. Tonya Kruger is an accountant with First National
Bank in Sioux Falls and is married to husband Joe, who teaches
in Minnesota. Tara lives in Sioux
Falls and works as an addictions
counselor with Keystone Treatment Center's adolescent program.
Donnie Leddy is a third generation cattleman from Grant
County. He spent his youth and
college days active in cattle shows
and livestock judging. He met his
wife of 20 years, Krecia Beitelspacher from Bowdle, while attending college at South Dakota
State University. They have three
children Kiera a junior in high
school, Kadon a freshman and Korbin a fourth grader who are all
active in junior livestock activities.
Donnie spent 14 years working
for the American International
Charolais Association as a field
representative in this region. His
connections from Canada to
Texas, East Coast to West, and his
involvement in the breeds Charolais Journal, equipped him well
for ownership in The Cattle Business Weekly.
In addition to his involvement
in the cattle industry and The
Cattle Business Weekly he has involved himself in real estate marketing in South Dakota.

In 2005, Donnie and Don began

to discuss the possibilities of a
livestock publication. Don had a
few plans jotted down already for
a livestock publication if the opportunity presented itself and
Donnie was ready to start out on
his own.
It snowballed from there and
we decided to take a run at it,
says Don.
The first issue of The Cattle
Business Weekly was published
that August, just in time to be introduced at the South Dakota
State Fair. Copies of the publication were sent to cattle producers
in a nine state region and soon the
response began to pour in.
Apparently there was a need
for it because every cattle sale we
went to someone would come up
and talk promotion with us, says
Don.
And from there it really grew
bigger and faster that we could
keep up, adds Donnie. We were

overwhelmed and gratified at the

positive response.
The newspaper was packed full
of industry news, market reports
and columnists from the start
making it an entertaining resource for cattlemen. Unique to
the paper was the fact that both
Don and Donnie took time to write
a publishers column that appeared weekly, a tradition that
continues today.
I think it was the content, plus
the personal touch our experience, making ranch visits that
made the difference for us, says
Don.
Now in its eighth year the newspaper includes special sections
like Country Kids Connection,
South Dakota Angus News,
Charolais Country and Range &
Pasture Journal.
An award winning herd reference guide magazine is also
printed every fall. Its design and
content make it a publication that

is kept year round by cattle producers.

There is no doubt the people
behind the production of our publications are why we have been
successful. Timely, pertinent information, along with quality design
provided by our staff and knowledgeable advertising reps has
been an important part, says
Donnie.
The Cattle Business Weekly
field staff attends 300 production
sales annually. A lot of beautiful
scenery, quality cattle and great
people are seen along the way. We
are in the heart of great, great
beef raising cattlemen and families. It doesnt get any better than
this right here, says Don.
Like Don and Donnie, The Cattle Business Weekly field representatives and office staff have
their own backgrounds in agriculture. So while the publication may
be only eight years old, the shared
knowledge of the industry and
lifestyle is decades old.
From the gals in our office
Mary, Stacy and Jackie to our
editorial team headed by Codi
Mills and Kindra Gordon, to our
knowledgeable sales team of Beau
Bendigo, Kris Petersen, Jim
Scheel and Jim Williams, their
talents have had a huge impact on
CBWs success, says Donnie.
Both men say to be recognized
by their peers and those they
serve in the cattle industry with
the Black Hills Stock Shows AgriBusinessmen of the Year Award is
very humbling.
We are an owner run business
just like many of the generational
farms and ranches we serve. We
hope to continue to provide news
to them via print and Web for generations, says Donnie.

Propane high in demand, short in supply

Sports 8

&9

South Dakota, as well as the nation, is experiencing an earlier an

longer than usual cold spell. Over
six million residents and one million businesses nationwide dependent on propane or natural gas to
heat their furnaces, hot water
heaters and other appliances. Tthe
national supply of fuel has been
strained, while the demand is still
high.
We dont want to panic our customers but they need to be conservative when it comes to using
propane. One of the major suppliers of propane is sitting with an
empty pipeline and no idea when
the line will be resupplied, said
Sandra Eisenbraun. She, along
with her husband Alvin, own Des
Oil and Propane in Wall. Our facility holds 30,000 gallons of
propane and in a typical year the
tanks are full, but with the cold
snap and fuel supplies low its a
struggle to get tankers of fuel in
right now, said Eisenbraun.

She added that they are diligently looking for suppliers with a
lower end cost and a supply that
will get our customers through the
winter.
We have a very long cold snap
in a large area of the nation, which
has taxed the supply, said Ed
King, petroleum manager for Midwest Cooperatives, of the current
propane situation.
Since January 15, kind of the
first shocker in the weekly inventory report from the Department of
Energy; 1.6 million barrels down in
the Midwest Region, with 1.3 million barrels this week, leaving us
with about 10.2 million barrels in
the Midwest Region (approximately about seven states), said
King.
The four regions are the East,
Gulf Coast, West and Midwest.
King said the bigger picture is we
are having similar draws in the
rest of the nation. Since January
15, the Midwest Region has seen a

Ice fishing tourney

wholesale rise of $2.10 per gallon

for propane. Over the winter, the
cost to propane customers has almost tripled.
We are at the second half of January. In six weeks we will be basically looking back at the main part
of the heating season. For this we
can be grateful. But, its still going
to put a strain on peoples budgets.
Basically, the only thing that is
going to fix this is warmer
weather, said King.
The current propane situation is
because of the countrywide cold
weather, instead of having an area
of the country being cold while others are warmer.
Suppliers are usually thinking
this time of year of letting their
tanks start to run down so they are
not stuck with old inventory, but
this year it just keeps on going,
said King. Its definitely putting a
crunch on the delivery system and
drivers to just keep it in place.
I could see where there would be
areas of spot outages for a day or
two. As for Midwest Cooperatives,
we are on the top side of that. We
will keep doing everything in our
power to keep things running, said
King.

Some people are wanting to buy

propane clear into next year. This
is a knee-jerk reaction. Any time
you see a market jump up to unseen levels, it will probably drop
the same way ... probably not in the
next few weeks. Let cooler heads
prevail. If you dont have a full understanding of the market, then
you just help drive the beast, said
King.
King warned that buying bulk
now would be at an elevated price.
You dont want to be sitting with
product that you paid more for
than you needed to, said King.
Its certainly going to be a strain
on people, but if we dont try to purchase more than we need then it
shouldnt be an undue stress, said
King.
King suggested looking at your
thermostats; turning that thing
down from, say 72 degrees to 68. It
only makes sense.
Senator John Thune (R-S.D.),
ranking member of the Senate
Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, which oversees the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA),
has sent a letter to the FMCSA requesting the agency issue an emer-

gency declaration for the Western

Service Center due to propane
shortages, which have been magnified as a result of the extreme cold
weather conditions in our region
and other portions of the United
States.
The FMCSA declaration would
provide relief from existing Hours
of Service limits for drivers transporting propane throughout the
Western region, while still requiring drivers to be fit to drive and operate safely.
Similar declarations have been
made by FMCSA for the Southern,
Eastern, and Midwestern Service
Centers which provide interstate
flexibility regarding the movement
of propane and home heating fuel.
Regional supply disruptions,
high demand from a wet corn harvest, and the extreme cold temperatures this winter have strained
propane and home heating oil supplies throughout the region, said
Thune. The brutally cold temperatures in South Dakota, and across
the region, this winter are a challenge for families and businesses,
and a tight propane market only
increases the dangerous conditions
residents are facing.

Over 60 people participated in the Zane Nelson Ice Fishing Tournament sponsored
by the Dakota Bar, Philip. The fundraiser event was held Sunday, January 19. All
raised funds will go to a memorial for Nelson. All rules applied, such as contestants
had to have a valid South Dakota fishing license and had to follow any size limitations. A prize for the most fish hauled in went to the team of Garry and Stacey (Radway) Dole, Rapid City. This year, the biggest fish prize went to Roger OConnell.
There was also a smallest fish prize. Afterward, the participants gathered for a hot
meal at the Philip fire hall, where further door prizes were awarded. Pictured are
some kids standing by the fish caught by Zane's grandfather, Lavern Terkildsen.

Pastor Frezil Westerlund, the
pastor of four local Lutheran
churches, has retired. The four
congregations of the Western New
Hope Parish are First Lutheran
Church
in
Philip,
Trinity
Lutheran Church in Midland, Our
Saviors Lutheran Church in Long
Valley, and Deep Creek Lutheran
Church of Midland/Hayes.
Westerlunds last Sunday at the
pulpit was January 26. The four
churches are now looking for a
new pastor. They are members of
the North American Lutheran
Church (NALC). First Lutheran is
also a member of the Lutheran
Congregations in Mission for
Christ (LCMC).
Our four churches have about
400 members, and we are experiencing growth. Weve seen many
more
baptisms.
The
First
Lutheran Church expected about
30 children for its annual Summer
Bible Camp, but we had 45. We
are very excited, happy and posi-

tive, said Westerlund in an interview several years ago.

During a retirement celebration
last week, Westerlund said, I am
really sorry to be leaving Philip.
Its been fun here and the people
are great. This has definitely been
my favorite parish.

Her retirement is well thought

out. Im getting long in the tooth,
joked Westerlund. There comes a
time when you know its time to
retire.
She and her husband, Douglas,
have a house in Argyle, between
Custer and Hot Springs. Im
going to paint. I have a show up in
Custer right now. Sheepishly,
Westerlund admitted that she is a
fairly good artist. For future portraits, I might have to come back
here and take some photos of people, though, said Westerlund.
Well deserved, and I hope she
enjoys it. Weve enjoyed having
her, said First Lutheran council
member Boyd Waara.
Were just very happy to have
had her. Shes done a lot for all of
us, said council president Miles
Wheeler.
The parish board will meet in
February and will begin the interviewing process of pastor candidates suggested by the LCMC and
the NALC.

Old age is
not for sissies

. This was the pronouncement

of my former piano teacher, Veronica Lakstigala, one day when I
was visiting with her some ten
years ago. She was suffering from
macular degeneration in her eyes
which made it nearly impossible
to read music anymore. That was
particularly hard for a talented
lady, like she, who was a concert
pianist in Latvia before coming to
the States and marrying the local
doctor. Her husband, too, was
originally from Latvia. Not only
could she no longer read music,
she also couldnt drive or do many
other things she was accustomed
to doing. It was very hard for her,
but she was dealing with it and
getting by. She was no sissy.
For some reason, I was reminded of Veronica and her words
of wisdom yesterday when I was
cutting my toenails. That job used
to be fairly simple, but it is getting
harder and harder as the years go
by. For one thing, the toenails
seem to be a lot farther away then
they used to be although I assume
they arent. They just seem that
way. Son Chance is so flexible he
can put one foot on his mouth and
the other behind his head. If I did
that, they would probably have to
take me to the emergency room to
straighten me back out. Lets just
say I can still reach my toenails to
cut them, but it maybe isnt quite
as easy as it once was.
Secondly, nails have a nasty
habit of getting some kind of fungus or whatever over the years
and growing all hard and strange.
I used to use a simple pair of scis-

sors for the job, but now I use

something more heavy duty. It resembles a side cutter like you
would use to cut bolts only on a
smaller scale. Then too, the nails
on both big toes like to become ingrown so it takes substantial work
to keep them from doing so. The
side cutter does the job alright. It
just has to be used with caution to
avoid making a bloody mess of
things.
At least my fingernails can
still be trimmed with a regular
clipper, but parts of them seem to
break off more easily than they
used to. I had a thumbnail for
many years that had a weakness
right in the middle and never
grew just right. I might have
banged it too hard at some time or
other and hurt the nail bed. I
dont recall, but it gave me trouble
for quite a while. Recently it has
been a lot better and seems almost
normal so maybe it has righted itself. At least my fingernails seem
fungus free unlike the nails farther down. Guess Ill be thankful
for that since they grow fast and
need trimming every week or so. I
can ignore the toenails for a
month or more until they become
ingrown and hurt or I notice they
look like claws. I prefer to clip my
nails outdoors so I at least dont
have to clean up the clippings afterwards. Yesterday I did all
twenty nails on the deck and had
clippings everywhere. Todays
wind blew them away. No cleanup
necessary.
Other parts of the body
seem to give more trouble with
age as well. I have always occasionally had back trouble, and I
had to again move circumspectly
for a few weeks early last year.

costs. Punishing the dog so it
would learn something might
have taken more out of you than
the dog. Was it hundreds or thousands of times that you had to
wash your hands or face up after
receiving a bath of dog drool? How
many photos were taken and
printed of the dog; more than of
the kids?
Remember the times when the
dog got away? Was it a few incidents of it simply wandering
away, or was the critter a perpetual Houdini?
Then there is the cost of guilt.
Did being caught and scolded
eventually change to being caught
and ignored when you secretly fed
the dog bites from the table? Was
that last piece of cake really stolen
by the dog?

The important costs culminate

in the end. A member of the family
must be given its resting place in
the corner of the back yard. You
are a wreck. The house is empty.
The days have a hole in them. You
come home ... and are not greeted.
You reach down to pet the dog, but
the dog is no longer there.
Did you catch yourself almost
buying a Christmas gift anyway?
Do you look toward the corner of
the back yard more than you used
to? Do you debate getting a new
dog, understanding that it would
never be the same?
The money involved can be
added up, from initial purchase, to
food, shots and incidentals. The
time can be estimated, from training, to walks, to just scratching its
ear while you watched TV. The
real cost, though, is the attachment and emotion demanded by
and given to your dog.
A concert pianist spends a lifetime learning to not only play the
notes but to create the emotions of
music. Without an instrument,
something in his life is missing. A
person owned by a dog is the
same, together they make music.
It is worth the cost.

the North Central Region SARE.
We hope that farmers will come
prepared with questions and ideas
that they can feed back to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture about
programs and assistance needed
for cover crops and soil health.
Attending the nationwide broadcast is free of charge and open to
anyone who is interested in hearing about and discussing the
prospects for cover crops and soil
health improvements on American
farms and ranches. Following the
broadcast, discuss with local experts how cover cropping can build
soil health, improve yields, curb
erosion, manage pests and build
resilience into your farming system.
Here at the SDSU Extension
center in Winner, we have asked a
few local ag producers to briefly
share some of their experiences
with cover crops and how they
have affected their farm and ranch
operations. We welcome producers

from the audience to share their

S.D. top sunflower producer

In 2013 South Dakotans

planted 617,000 acres of sunflowers. No other state came close to
this number of acres. North
Dakota was second, planting just
under 500,000 acres of sunflowers
in 2013. Sunflowers have been a
successful and profitable crop for
many South Dakota farmers.
"In 2011 gross sales or receipts
for sunflowers in the state totaled
$192,000,000," said Ruth Beck,
South Dakota State University
Extension agronomy field specialist.
There are two types of sunflowers planted in the state, Beck said;
oilseed types used for birdseed or
crushed to make sunflower oil and
confection types or those grown for
human food markets.
She added that seeds of the two
types are easily differentiated.
The oilseed type has small black
seed and a thin hull or shell that
adheres to the kernel. The confection or nonoil seed types have a
thicker, larger, hull and a larger
seed that is easily separated from
the hull. The shells are usually a
lighter shade and have some
white striping. Typically the confection plants produce seed that
has lower oil percentage and test
weight.
"Oilseed types are the most popular in South Dakota, being grown
on about 86 percent of acres in
2013. They average around 42
percent oil content and are marketed into the oil and the birdseed
markets," Beck said.
As with any crop, variety selection is a very important part of
production.
"Sunflower varieties are hybrids
and are therefore purchased each
year from commercial seed compa-

nies," she said.

When selecting hybrids, Beck
encouraged selection to reflect desirable yields; high oil percentage
for oil types, proper maturity,
proper seed size for confection
types, insect tolerance, and disease resistance. Standability and
head position after flowering are
also selection criteria.
Sunflower varieties are tested
annually in South Dakota by
SDSU. Results are posted on the
web address http://igrow.org/
agronomy/other-crops/sunflowerand-flax-variety-trial-results/.%20
Although sunflowers are classified as intermediate in water use
efficiency - yield per inch of water,
Beck explained that they are often
considered drought tolerant because they have a deep tap root.
"This allows them to extract
water from deep in the soil profile
and also enables them to use nitrogen and other nutrients that
leach below the root zone of shallow-rooted crops," she said.
Because of this, she added that
careful consideration should be
given to the type of crop that follows sunflowers, in part, because
their ability to scavenge water
and nutrients can affect following
crops.
Sunflowers are produced primarily in the central and western region of South Dakota under no till
crop production systems. No till
systems rely heavily on diverse
crop rotations, Beck explained.
"Sunflowers should be planted
in a diverse rotation in order to
minimize issues with disease,
weeds and insects. Since sunflowers are native to this area, risks
from diseases are magnified by
short sequencing of sunflowers in

a crop rotation," she said.

Sunflowers
are
commonly
planted in rows that range from
20 to 36 inches using corn
planters. However, they are sometimes seeded in narrower rows
using a small grain drill or air
seeder.
At the present time, Beck said
this seeding method is less than
ideal because both depth control
and seed singulation capabilities
of these seeders is not as good as
with row-crop planters.
"Sunflowers are very sensitive
to variation in plant spacing and
planting depth uniformity. There
is no advantage to going narrower
than 15-inch spacing," she said.
She explained further that if the
producer was using a population
of 27,000 plants/acre, 30-inch rows
would place a seed every 7.5
inches; 20-inch rows have a seed
spacing of 11.6 inches; 15-inch
rows give seed spacing of 15.5
inches. Planting in 10-inch rows
gives a seed spacing of over 23
inches within the row. Plant population of 22,000 to 27,000
plants/acre are common for oilseed
types. Confection sunflowers are
planted at lower plant populations
than oilseed sunflowers as they
need to attain large seed size.
It is a common IPM practice in
South Dakota to plant sunflowers
in mid to late June. Beck said this
can reduce insect and weed pressure and spread work load for
farmers. It may also improve
stand uniformity.
"Oil is the last thing that a sunflower plant produces, therefore,
late planted fields are dependent
on moisture late in the season to
improve their oil content," she
said.

The fall session of the South

Dakota Stock Market Game concluded its 10-week trading session
on December 13. Out of the 23
participating schools and nearly
500 students making 222 teams,
Philip High Schools personal finances classes boasted taking top
honors and third place honors
statewide.
This is the second time Philip
High School has won the South
Dakota Stock Market Game; we
were winners in 2011, said PHS
personal
finance
instructor
Brigitte Brucklacher.
Teams of stock market investors
received a hypothetical $100,000
to perform online investing in
real-time stocks, bonds and mutual funds. The programs integrated curriculum lets students
experience the financial markets
in the classroom as they learn
about business, math, economics,
personal finance and the importance of saving and investing for
the long term. Student teams compete for prizes in the high school,
middle school and college division.
Philips team of Katie Hostutler
and Paul Guptill not only took
first place in the high school
bracket, but also beat out the college teams in hypothetical profits.
Twenty-nine PHS students participated in the game, and Philips
team of Lexa Crowser, TedDee
Buffalo and Kruse Bierle came in
third statewide.
The game had an entry fee per
school. BHSU paid part of that
back to the top eight teams. The
first place team received $100 and
the third place team received $75

FFA campaign aided by Midwest Co-op

Industry is stepping up and taking action to build future agricultural employees, farmers, ranchers and leaders by ensuring funding for FFA programs.
Elevators across South Dakota
worked with the SD FFA Foundation to launch the I Believe in the
Future of Agriculture, raising
$11,056 for FFA programs. The I
Believe in the Future of Agriculture campaign allows for a unique
way to support local FFA chapters,
and FFA across the state of South
Dakota, said Sandy Osterday,
South Dakota FFA Foundation
board president. Resources collected will have a direct impact on
our number one priority young
people in agriculture.
Agriculture producers,
FFA
supporters and alumni turned
their words into deeds by donating
grain and funds to local FFA chapters and the SD FFA Foundation.
The funds raised from the I Believe in the Future of Agriculture
campaign will be split equally between the 25 local chapters designated by the donors and the South
Dakota Foundation. At the local
level, the funds will support FFA
chapter leadership programming,
community service activities and
other innovative projects that promote agriculture. State level
funds will support statewide programs, grow the capacity of FFA

Thursday, January 16, 2014, at
Somerset Court, we had bingo.
Thank you, Sandi for calling numbers and Susan for checking cards,
bringing prizes, and for bringing
ice water and helping Sandi serve
treat for snack and chat. It was
new resident reception and we
had some delicious vanilla ice
cream sundaes with chocolate and
strawberry toppings. New residents are Betty Sanders and
Marie Sugden. Welcome!
Nurse Pats conference Wednesday covered so much material that
I failed to mention her helpful
suggestion about the selection of
canes and walkers. She told of exercises one might find helpful to
help us keep flexible. Hold on to
your sink and lift leg back and
sideways. Walking backward
strengthens different sets of muscles. Walking up and down stairs
is great exercise. Walking down
stairs uses different muscles than
walking up stairs.
What to do for a Charliehorse? Some said they have to get
up and walk. One may need to
drink more water. Ones food may
be lacking potassium. I believe bananas were mentioned as a good
source of potassium.
In general, to help alleviate depression, the big word is do
something. If you can do something with others, so much the

better. Others need help too.
Do you have a hobby you can
share? Maybe you can get someone interested in a group to read a
book and discuss it. Maybe a crochet group. How about different
kinds of dancing? Moving to music
is therapeutic. One can dance with
ones walker.
Somerset Court resident, Eileen
Tenold had company January 16,
Bob and Norma Tenold, Reva.
They had a nice visit.
Friday, January 17, 2014, at
Somerset Court we had the activity of baking with Sandi, with
Shawn and Susan helping. We
made and decorated some 24 individual cakes, one set of carrot
cake, and one set of strawberry
cake. Fred Smith ran the mixer,
Wilma Gabrielson put the batter
into the paper baking containers.
We used some new silicon baking
tins. They were nice and pink,
and looked like they would melt or
catch fire. The looked like plastic!
But they survived and the cakes
turned out big and tender. We decorated the cakes with strawberry
frosting on the strawberry cakes
and the carrot cakes were frosted
with almond/ coconut/ cream
cheese frosting. Some were sprinkled with colored candies.
Friday afternoon, we had the activity of a cake walk/musical
chairs. When the music stopped,
the walkers whose chairs had a
cake beneath them, won the
cakes. When everyone had won a
cake, we walked for Somerset
Court bucks. We were quite delighted with this activity. Thank
you to our activity directors who
plan entertaining things for us to
do.
We should have dancing every
day! It keeps us limber. Nurse Pat
recommends it as an antidote to
depression.
Saturday, January 18, we had a
memorial service for longtime
Somerset Court resident, Maxine
Kilmer. This was held in the Somerset Court chapel and meditation
room. There was a good attendance of Somerset Court residents
and many of Maxines relatives.
Maxines son, Jeff Kilmer, San
Calif.,
was
the
Francisco,

spokesperson. He old a little about

Maxines life and family. Some
family members gave short eulogies. Several of Maxines favorite
songs were sung by family members along with three guitars.
Some of them were His Eye is On
the Sparrow, In the Garden,
Just a Closer Walk With Thee,
Ill Fly Away, Red Sails in the
Sunset, Faraway Places, and
someone sang, most exquisitely,
How Great Thou Art. We received beautiful folders with two
photos of Maxine and a short review of her life.
After the service, a luncheon
was served in the activity garden.
Maxine was very generous with
her extensive collection of sheet
music. Many a time I would ask
her if I could borrow some old
song. She would be able to find it
in a few minutes, because she had
her music catalogued alphabetically. (The songs I asked for were
usually much older than the required 75 years copyright protection.) We have copies of several of
her songs on the piano at Somerset Court in the activity garden.
Thank you, Maxine.
Though the Somerset Court dining room was open, several residents chose to have lunch with
Maxines family in the activity
garden. Maxines son, Mike
Kilmer, played several selections
on the piano.
Thank you, Jeff, Mike and all of
Maxines family for having us in
for her Celebration of Life.
Thank you to Somerset Court activity directors for arranging seating and to the Somerset kitchen
staff for setting up a tasty, attractive luncheon for the occasion.
Later Saturday afternoon, M.R.
Hansen came for scrabble and he
brought a treasure trove of keepsakes from my old house at
Hansen Court in Philip. Rolla and
Effie Palmers wedding present
platters from 1900. A collection of
Virgils butcher knives. My sister,
Evalynns teddy bear from the
early 1900s and my old Juniper
doll, head carved by my Pa, early
1920s and so on.
Sunday, January 19, 2014, at
Somerset Court, we had a warmer
day.
We had church with Terry Pulse
with Eileen Tenold at the piano
playing hymns for our congregational singing. Steve read some
scripture as an introduction. Steve
related his acquaintance with a
detainee in Afghanistan, Beau
from Sand Point, Idaho, and led a
prayer for him and all who are
captives. Terry gave us the
thought that we are holy, through
no labor of our own. If we believe,
we have the Holy Spirit an everpresent help. Terry said that reading the Bible out loud has a much
stronger impact on our belief.
Jim Holmes told a little story
after the cake walk Friday: He
and his wife sacked up the trash
and took it along downtown. (The
garbage can was full or something.) While his wife was stand-

ing in line at a store, a street person grabbed the bag from her
hand and ran away with it!
Identify the Bible character in
each sentence he seemed avid to
slay the Philistines. (Clue - use
the end of one word and part of
the next word.) Co be diligent and
loyal as your mother was to
Naomi. He came quickly and drew
his net to the shore. Yes, I last saw
him with the apostles. Was it in
the lea he saw Lebans daughter?
Hello, is your grandmother in,

Truly, Diana of the Ephesians
would not charm the convert of
Pauls. Agrippa, ultimately it
seems, would have wished to release him. Will you have the sauce

little comfort in his sons as

priests.
The Monday movie, Ladders,
was well received. It is reported to
be tragic in places, but rewarding
in that it showed many wonderful
rescues by firemen.
Somerset Court resident, Jack
Humke, who has been away for a
long time, was seen at lunch time
Monday at Somerset Court. We
have heard that he will resume
residence here. Welcome back,
Jack.
Monday we had the activity of
crafts with Amy. We made
Snowed Inn a colorful and clever
little birdhouses with a cardinal.
He sits on his doorstep. There are
lots of sparkles and snowflakes.
There is a real thermometer in
both Celsius and Fahrenheit. We

took photos, so you may see yourself in the Somerset Court photo
book on the reading table by the
fireplace. Thank you, Amy and
Sandi.
Monday, January 20, 2014,
there was foursome for bridge.
This is a good place to brush up
and the residents are kind and
helpful.
That is true for pool too. Some
residents are reticent to play pool.
They say things like, I havent
played in years, or I never
played pool in my life. Well this is
the place to get into the game.
Jeri Deschamps found the sheet
music for me to Its the Loveliest
Night of the Year. And we heard
it sung by Mario Lanza. Thank
you, Jeri.

I fell in love with this bike rodeo
idea when I found it on the Internet. What a great idea to use up
some energy and have fun at the
same time. Each event is based on
a rodeo event. Ive adapted their
ideas a little bit and you can too for
your kids.
For calf roping the bike rider
must ride his bike to a designated
location grab a hula hoop and from
a set distance throw it over a stool.
For team roping the second person
would have his try after the first

child gets the stool roped. If you

have access to ropes and roping
dummies so much the better.
For barrel racing and pole bending, just about anything can be
used as the barrels and poles. The
contestants would bicycle the regular patterns.
For the roughstock events a
twisting course could be laid out
that theyd have to complete in
eight seconds. Make it more challenging by having them run over
air filled balloons that have been
staked in the ground or attached to
paper that is then weighted down.
The ribbon race or goat tying
events could be accomplished by
using a stuffed animal.
Mounted shooting competitions
could be held as well by using
squirt guns and small paper cups.
They could try to shoot the cups off
their perch or fill with water as
they ride by.
All events can be timed, but having fun is the main goal.
,.
To dispose of dull or busted
sewing needles and pins, drill a
small diameter hole in a pill bottle
lid or plastic container lid and keep
at your sewing station. Simply drop
the used items through the hole.
When full throw entire container
away.
,.
If your sewing machine foot
pedal slides along the floor, a
mouse pad or rubber mesh shelf
liner can be placed underneath to
stop the sliding.
,.
Sewers guard their scissors well
and many a sewer has gotten after
their spouse or children for using
those scissors for paper or other
things. One sewer posted online
that she bought a small padlock
and locked the scissors together
through the thumb and finger
holes. I was definitely thinking of
my mom when I saw this.
,.
A suggestion I saw, and liked,
was using old calendar pages for
envelopes. Crafting stores have envelope patterns, or you can simply
use an opened envelope as a template. I would suggest then using a
white address label on the envelope
so that the address can be easily

I learned several years ago about
using T-pins to hang canvas pictures instead of nails. A suggestion
I read said that dull sewing needles
can also be used in place of nails
and theyll hold upward of 30
pounds. In either case the pin will
leave a smaller hole in the wall. In
some cases they will work on plaster walls.
,.
After you have ripped out a seam
use the sticky side of a piece of
tape or a lint roller to pick up all
the little threads that end up
everywhere.

One suggestion for ripping out
seams was to use a mustache trimmer. Better buy your own, or hubby
may be putting a padlock on his.

Wrap a bar of Dial deodorant
soap in tissue paper and place it

,.
The tissue paper that patterns
are made with are so thin and tear
so easily. If it is a pattern you want
to reuse, I found this great tip adhere it to fusible interfacing. Heres
the website that shows you how to
do it: http://sewaholic.net /makepatterns-last-longer-iron-interfacing-to-your-pattern-pieces/
What a great idea. Just be careful
and follow her instructions to the
letter.
I found the Sewaholic website to
be very helpful with lots of great information. If youre one who sews,
I recommend checking it out.
,.
If you have little kids or dogs
that like water, instead of using a
small plastic pool dig your own. I
saw the idea many years ago in a
Popular Mechanics series of books.
Dig a shallow hole, I think I did
about a six foot square area by
about six to eight inches deep. I
lined the hole with a blue tarp. The
tarp should be big enough to extend past the edge a couple of feet.
As long as you weight the edges
down with something kid friendly
theres no worrying about the pool
blowing away. Dogs love it too!

In that same series of books was
the idea for a doghouse that was installed in the ceiling of the basement with the opening through a
basement window. The dog had the
warmth of the house and easy outdoor access.

If you havent added mulch
around your plants, it isnt too late.
Mulches can be organic (those that
decompose) such as wood shavings,
grass clippings, or inorganic (dont
decompose) such as lava rock or
stones. The organic materials decomposition helps add nutrients
back into the soil.
Be aware though, that dark
mulches will absorb sunlight which
creates a hotter surface, which can
harm some plants. Also the heat
absorption can interfere with the
plants reading of the cooler fall
temperatures and not prepare itself for winter.
One study I read noted that 66
percent of water is lost to evaporation when mulch is not used and
only 10 percent is lost when mulch
is applied.
The thickness of the mulch depends upon the matter used. For
wood mulches two to three inches
is suggested. For coarser material
three to five inches. Lawn clippings
applied at about an inch thick in
most cases. If it breaks down, more
can be added. You dont want to create a situation where water is sitting under the mulch. This can lead
to rot and other issues.
Potted plants can be mulched as
well as those in the ground.

Its cold this Monday, but the
good news is, we dont have those
awful winds we had yesterday. It
was fogging and I do mean fogging. In the distance you could see
dirt from wheat fields fogging the
horizon. Not good! It made me
think of stories from the Dirty 30s.
They didnt have the equipment,
the water, or the homes we have
today. Those were not easy times.
Im not having much luck at finding folks at home, and some I got
hold of didnt have news, so I may
just have to make up something.
Whats that, news is supposed to
be fact not fiction? Guess you are
probably right on that one. In last
weeks column, I had written of
our former trailer house being
parked by a creek on the Daly
ranch. Ive learned that creek has
a name, its called Bad River
not to worry, Judy assures me it is
high enough up you wont see it
floating down Bad River. That was
comforting to know, it does sit on
a beautiful spot.
Jerry and I learned something
yesterday that may not be of interest to others, but we found it most
interesting, plus, its story makes
a filler for my news column this
week, okay? We were visiting with
a fellow and his wife at Kadoka.
And in visiting with them, we
learned he grew up at Clear Lake,
which sparked our interest, as
Jerrys mom, Rena, has family
who live in that area. Long story
short, we learned that his mom
works at the Historical Society
Museum in Clear Lake. We mentioned the thrashing machine pictures we have, which date back to
1918 and were taken on Jerrys
great-grandparents farm. Rich
Brendt mentioned the Historical
Society would most likely be interested in seeing those pictures. He
later gave his mom a call, she remembered the names of Koenders
and Gerberding, we had told him
about. We called Jerrys relatives
and they remembered the names
of his family of Lavin and Brendt.
In fact, a Lavin had married a girl
from Castlewood, where some of
Jerrys relatives live and this fellow was the girls basketball coach
at the University of South Dakota,
for a number of years. Ive often

times found its in visiting with

someone that you learn of one
story, that leads to another story,
which makes it a most interesting
story. Sounds like a road trip once
the weather warms up, making a
stop at the Historical Society Museum and a visit with family.
Some of that family has come to
our place for a visit the past few
summers. Weve visited family in
the eastern part of the state, but
it has been many years.
As I mentioned earlier, I am
not having much luck getting hold
of folks, so this weeks column
looks to be short of news. But,
here goes!
Trinity Lutheran Church here
in Midland was a full day of activities Sunday, January 26. Emily
and Wyatt Trapp, the kids of Mike
and Debbie Trapp, were confirmed
and those receiving First Communion were Logan Sammons,
son of Casey and Katie Sammons,
Eagan Fitzgerald, son of Scott and
Lee Anna Fitzgerald, Zackery
Sinkey, son of Russ and Cindy
Sinkey, and Landon Schofield, son
of Renee Schofield. There was a
potluck following church services
not only for those being confirmed
and receiving First Communion,
but because it was Pastor Frezil
Westerlunds last Sunday as pastor at the church. The annual
church board meeting was held
following the potluck. Duane
Roseth and Dick and Gene Hudson were there from Deep Creek
Lutheran Church.
Ivan Schanzenbach will be celebrating his 89th birthday February 5, so Im thinking a birthday
card with birthday wishes would
make his birthday a good day.
Happy birthday, Ivan!
Alice Stroppel got out of the
hospital Wednesday, but stayed at
the home of their son, James
Stroppel, in Rapid City until Friday, and is now home in Midland.
Good to hear you are doing okay,
Alice.
Sunday dinner guests at
Reuben and Pat Vollmers were
George and Alice Stroppel,
Mahlon Alcock, Dustin, C.J. and
Addalyn Vollmer, all of Midland,
and Steven, Bridget, Elizabeth
and Greyson Schofield, Pierre.
The occasion was to celebrate January birthdays.
Jerry and I havent done anything news worthy this past week.
We enjoyed those warmer days
with no wind! Our daughter,
Charlene Nemec, Bismarck, N.D.,
has been enjoying some cross
country skiing this winter. She
had planned on doing some skiing
Sunday, but when those winds
came up, blowing around what
snow they had, she decided to stay
in where it was nice and warm
and have some brownies. Sounded
like a good plan to me. Needing to
be gone Tuesday, I am sending my
news off this Monday evening, so
if I missed your news, I will catch
up with you next week. I leave you
with the following food for
thought, Happiness is found
along the way, not at the end of the
road. Have a good week and stay
warm!

Moenville News|Leanne Neuhauser 567-3325

Greetings from sunny, cold,
wind-still, northeast Haakon
County. The warmer temperatures we had during the past week
have shrunk the snow cover, but
the bitter cold that followed has
left us with plenty of ice. It is still
a good idea to be very careful
when you are out and about. Having a day without strong winds
feels like a gift after the blustery
weather last weekend. The eastern part of the state got the worst
of it, with blizzard conditions and
closed roads. There will be a lot of
people rejoicing when spring arrives, and I will be one of them, of
course.
There are some springtime
events happening around the community. One of our neighbors is in
the height of calving season, and
all seems to be going well so far.
There are also a lot of birds in the
area. I think maybe the robins got
confused and came through a little
early this year! I still have four
bluejays that have been here all
winter this is the first time I
have seen bluejays here. I don't
know if they got lost, or if they just
decided to relocate. My flower
beds have been under snow all
winter, so I doubt if there are any
plants ready to grow yet. Usually,
the flower bed on the south side of
the house is the first to show any
activity, but so far it has just been
too cold. In another month or so, I
may be able to see some plants
poking their heads above ground.
I've been thinking about the garden, planning out which veggies
will go where. I'm also considering
starting a raspberry patch I had
one years ago that we really enjoyed, but the hired man's goat destroyed the patch, darn it.
Gene Hudson has had a cold,
but it is getting much better. Gene
said she talked to Aldene Towne's
sister, Sandra, last weekend.
Aldene and her husband, Allen,
were longtime residents of our
community. Aldene lives in a nursing home in Mesa, Ariz., and she
will be 92 years old in May. Aldene
was hospitalized recently with an
infection, but she is doing better
now. Gene also had a nice telephone visit with Ruth Neuhauser
Saturday. Sunday, Dick and Gene,
as well as Duane Roseth, attended
church services in Midland, as
there was no church at Deep
Creek this week. One bit of good
news from the Hudson ranch
their chickens are laying again!
Lola Roseth attended an EMT
conference in Spearfish Saturday
and Sunday. Her sister, Linda
Smith, was also among the attendees.
Nels and Dorothy Paulson were
in Pierre Monday taking care of
some business. They spent the
rest of the week at home. Dorothy
said that Nels "shared" his cold
with her, so she has been a bit
under the weather. This is one of
those cases where "sharing" is not
such a good thing! There was also
some sad news at the Paulsons
their 20-year-old goose, George,
died this week. George and his antics had been a source of entertainment through the years. They
have one goose left, a female, and
she is also getting up there in
years. Dorothy said the goose is
partially blind and deaf, and she'll
sure be lonely without George! It
is amazing how attached we get to
our pets.
Billy and Arlyne Markwed traveled to Rapid City Saturday. They
spent the night there in order to
be on hand to help with a large
sale scheduled for Sunday. The
blustery weather Sunday made

them think they might have to

spend another night, but fortunately the weather cleared up and
they were able to come home. Arlyne said church services next
weekend at Deep Creek will be
held Saturday evening, and they
will have a potluck supper.
Carmen Alleman said there was
no big news at their place this
week. She did say that when she
was helping with chores Sunday,
walking into the wind took a lot of
effort. All I can say is that Carmen
is a better helper than I am I
stayed in the house!
Congratulations to Bill and
Polly Bruce on the birth of their
sixth great-grandchild. Little
Liam Henry Bruce was born in
Rapid City Monday morning, the
son of Briston and Lilly Bruce, and
the grandson of Jim Bruce. Liam
weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz., and he joins a
sister, Natalie. Polly said they are
expecting another great-grandchild in April! As Polly was looking
through her journal to give me
their news for the week, she said
that "wind" was noted on most
every day! It really has been blustery lately. January 21, Bill and
Polly and Vince and Katie kept an
appointment with their accountant. Following the appointment,
Katie and their infant son, Riley,
headed to Iowa to visit Katie's
mother, Elaine Goodwin. Friday,
Vince was near Rapid City helping
his brother, David, make preparations for a shed that will be built
on David's property. I think they
were digging post holes, which
would have been quite a task,
given how frozen the ground is.
Bill and Polly were in charge of
chores until Vince returned Sunday. Katie and Riley returned from
Iowa Monday.
Shirley Halligan was in Lemmon last Tuesday to attend basketball games. Grandsons J.J. and
Jerin both played ball that day.
Shirley said the wind was really
nasty, making the travel not much
fun. Frank Halligan was in Pierre
with his father, Ken, Tuesday.
Thursday, Shirley spent time in
Pierre with her father-in-law, and
Frank attended basketball games
in Faith. Saturday, Frank and

Shirley attended Irene Caldwell's

101st birthday party. They played
cards and enjoyed visiting with
many old friends. And speaking of
birthdays, Shirley's brother,
Tommy Hickman, celebrated his
70th birthday January 27. Happy
birthday, Tommy!
Kevin Neuhauser was in Pierre
Saturday to attend a District 13
meeting and conferring of degrees
at the Masonic Lodge. Meanwhile,
Mary Neuhauser was at the ranch
doing more painting. It sounds
like one of the bedrooms is becoming an office great plan! Their
daughter, Sarah, is purchasing a
house in Belle Fourche, so Mary
will be going out to help her prepare to move.
Marge Briggs said she has been
staying inside and staying warm.
She has also been busy reading
it is no wonder she stays so sharp
and up to date! Her son, Ed
Briggs, is continuing with corn
harvest and caring for cattle.
Raymond
and
Nancy
Neuhauser attended the birthday
party for Irene Caldwell Saturday.
Even though Irene is 101 years
old, she was up late, enjoying the
card playing and her birthday
guests. What a lady!
Chase and Kelly Briggs' new
son, Jacob, is two weeks old already, and all is going well. Chase
and Kelly have four children, and
their oldest is four years old that
makes for one busy household!
But, I have no doubt that Chase
and Kelly are up to the task they
are great parents.
Max and Joyce Jones haven't
done anything social during the
past week. Joyce said that the
guys are busy hauling hay and
hauling grain work, work, work.
Lee Briggs has finished up his
corn combining for the season,
which is great news! I'm sure that
is one task he is glad to have behind him. Mary worked from
home Friday and Saturday she
was in town to attend the
East/West Wrestling Duals. Her
grandson, Zane Joens, wrestles for
Sturgis High School, and he won
all three of his matches. Great job,
Zane! Zane's mother, Keva, came
to Pierre later Saturday. Mary

said both girls and most of the

grandkids joined her for supper in
Pierre before she returned to the
ranch. Keva came to the ranch
Sunday morning, but she couldn't
stay long because of the blustery
weather. She and Zane headed for
their home near Sturgis.
Our former neighbor, Nancy
Riggle, fell on the ice and injured
herself about a week and a half
ago. She has been at home, waiting for surgery. I believe she is
having surgery in Sioux Falls
Tuesday best of luck to her! This
ice is treacherous. I hope her recovery goes well.
Randy and I spent several days
last week in Las Vegas. We joined
some friends there, and we enjoyed the warm temperatures,
flowers, palm trees, fountains, etc.
AND, there was no wind! It is always interesting to see all the
sights, and that includes people
watching. Wow! We enjoyed good
food and good musical entertainment. Friday it was time to return
to the real world and right on cue,
we had strong winds as the plane
was landing, making things a little bumpy. As always, it was wonderful to return to the peace and
quiet of the ranch. I appreciate the
peace the quiet even more after all
the people and noise in Las Vegas.
That is a very busy place!
This week, I am grateful for
Kleenex tissues. I think I should
have stock in the company, considering how many people are dealing with colds and flu! I came
home from vacation with a cold
even though I nearly washed the
skin off my hands while we were
in Nevada, attempting to avoid
picking up a virus. Oh well, the
cold will be short lived, hopefully,
and while I need tissues, I'm glad
to have nice, soft, disposable tissues available! And I'm continuing
to wash my hands a lot, hoping to
not share my cold. Maybe I should
also invest in hand lotion!
I hope you will go out and make
this a great week! The days are
getting longer, and every day
means we are one day closer to
spring. Enjoy!

Thune urges action to ease propane shortage

Senator John Thune (R-SD) has
sent a letter to the FMCSA requesting the agency issue an
emergency declaration for the
Western Service Center due to
propane shortages, which have
been magnified as a result of the
extreme cold weather conditions
in our region and other portions of
the United States.
Thune is the ranking member of
the Senate Commerce, Science,
and Transportation Committee,
which oversees the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration.
The FMCSA declaration would
provide relief from existing hours
of service limits for drivers transporting propane throughout the
Western region while still requiring drivers to be fit to drive and
operate safely. This would build on
the hours of service exemption
that Governor Dennis Daugaard
issued earlier this month that applied only within South Dakota.
Similar declarations have been
made by FMCSA for the Southern,
Eastern and Midwestern Service
Centers which provide interstate
flexibility regarding the movement of propane and home heating fuel.
Regional supply disruptions,
high demand from a wet corn harvest, and the extreme cold temper-

atures this winter have strained

propane and home heating oil supplies throughout the region, said
Thune. The brutally cold temperatures in South Dakota, and
across the region, this winter are
a challenge for families and businesses, and a tight propane market only increases the dangerous
conditions residents are facing. I
will continue working with all relevant federal agencies to address
this ongoing situation.
Thunes June 24 letter is below.
Dear Administrator Ferro:
I write in support of the National Propane Gas Associations
request for you to declare a state
of emergency and grant regional
exemptions from Hours of Service
regulations for the Western Service Center. Your support for regional exemptions in the Midwest,
Eastern and Southern Service
Centers have provided relief to
these areas, however many of the
states in the Western Service Center, including my home state of
South Dakota, are still experiencing similar propane supply constraints and disruptions.
Due to the high demand for
propane stemming from a wet
corn harvest, the extreme cold
temperatures this winter, and regional supply disruptions, pro-

pane prices have increased to

record highs. This has resulted in
distributors facing challenges securing supplies for residents of
South Dakota and in some cases
even rationing supplies. These
conditions led South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard to declare
a state of emergency on January
8, 2013, to provide intrastate HOS
relief.
It is now time for the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to act and provide
more expansive relief to South
Dakotans and others in the Western Service Center. In doing so, it
is important that the FMCSA extend the HOS service relief to
Texas, which is home to the
worlds largest underground
propane storage facility. This action by FMCSA, would again compliment an action taken earlier
this week by Texas Lieutenant
Governor David Dewhurst, which
waived certain licensing, permitting and certification requirements for petroleum gas trucks
and operators.
I thank you for your consideration of my request, and look forward to your assistance in this
pressing matter for a growing
number of individuals and businesses.

Whats new sure isnt the
weather as we have been having
the same up and downs and all
sorts of high winds, which are
causing a lot of damage. Seems
that the October blizzard was bad,
but so are these devastating winds
and weather changes from warm
to cold, day in and day out. It
would almost seem we would be
better to have some snow on the
ground as the blowing dust seems
worse than the snow, at least the
ground would be protected from
blowing the top soil away. Winter
wheat fields are blowing, so wonder if the wheat will be lost also?
Bob and Jodi Thorson plan on
attending the nursing home dance
this Tuesday evening and they go
to Wall to play bingo on Thursday
evenings. Jodis parents, Ed and
Cleon, enjoy both of these events,
so Bob and Jodi try to get them
there every week.

Donna said that the funeral of
Bud Finley was held at the Redeemer Lutheran Church Friday
and he was buried at Isabelle. Our
sympathy goes out to his family.
Prayers would be appreciated
for Marcia West as she is housebound due to her treatments. She
cant risk catching anything and
would have to start all over with
her treatments.
I was saddened by the news
that Marvin Kiel passed away.
Our sympathy goes out to his family and he shall be missed by all
who knew him.
Kenneth liked Marvin and

thought he was a great young man

who grew up in this neighborhood.
When our son, Marvin, was born,
Kenneth came over to the Quinn
hospital July 2, 1954, and asked if
we could name him Marvin after
Marvin Kiel. I could see that this
would mean a lot to Kenneth, so
we named him Marvin Duane.
Our sympathy goes out to the
family of Gus Hanson who also
grew up in Philip and still has
family here.
I see where Norma Nelson is
back in Philip and is living at the
Philip Nursing Home. She is another person who would enjoy seeing you when you are visiting
there.
I spent a couple hours visiting
Jim and Norma Oldenberg Thursday. Their grandson, Levi, was
also there. Norma picked him up
from wrestling practice. He was
watching wheel of fortune and he
could really solve the puzzles. His
grandpa, Jim, was impressed and
said, I guess you must be learning a lot in school to be able to do
that. Norma said that he was
hungry, so she made him a chocolate milkshake to tide him over till
he went home for supper.
Norma is busy with her sewing
projects and is getting ready to
paint her kitchen. She also spends
a lot of time visiting people in the
nursing home and the Silverleaf
where her sister, Irene Brink,
lives. Jim is still working up north
of Philip for a rancher. He has
been working up there for several
years now. I asked him when he
was going to retire and he said he
already had, this was his hobby!
Old ranchers never give up till
their health wont let them work
any longer. Example just look at
my brother, Rich, 96 years young.
Bonnie Buls seems to be doing
well and she eats out downtown
often and I see her there and get
to visit with her and swap information about what is going on in
our families. She uses the mini
bus for transportation during the
winter, but did drive her vehicle
last summer at times.
Marvin and Vicki Eide took an
outing up to the north country, as
they hadnt been up in that area
for awhile. They stopped in and
visited the Hawk family. It had
been several years since they had
seen them. We met the Hawks
through the John Mays. Marvin
got his cattle herd started when
his dad bought a registered heifer
from John May. She had a calf
every year for 13 years. Marvin
kept all the heifers and traded the
steers to his dad for heifers and it
was not long before he had a good
herd of cattle. I also knew the late

www.pioneer-review.com

Charlie Hawks when I was at the

Marcus camp program and they
attended the Marcus church. Kenneth always liked these folks.
They were good friends of the late
George Wheelers also, as he
bought bulls from them too.
When I went to school at Sundance, Wyo., I had a really good
girlfriend and we have kept in
close contact with each other
through the years. When we
would go to Sundance, we would
always stop in and see her and her
husband, Tom Sheely. Tom owned
a ranch just outside of Sundance
about five miles and he took Kenneth out to look at his cattle. He
had started cross breeding and before we left he had Kenneth sold
on crossbreeding his heifers. Kenneth came home and we started
crossbreeding. This of course was
Marvins delight to start this program.
Time sure has flown by. Cade
Kjerstad will graduate from the
Wall High School this year and he
plans on going on to school to further his education. I so enjoy visiting with him when he is in
Philip with his grandpa, L. Kjerstad or at his grandparents, Mel
and Beth Smiths. He has played
on the Wall football team, so see
him there at times. He always
stops to visit when he sees me. He
knows how to treat the older generation.
I have sort of a pet peeve, and it
is not that I dont have them, it is
the new electronic devices that
take up all the time of young people. I use the computer and have
a cell phone and I use them, but I
am not glued to them, as I like the
friendship of other people, young
and old, and like to converse with
them and share a handshake, a
smile, or a hug with them in person and not coming as a voice or

picture coming from that cold

black box. You cant share feelings
when conversing with them this
way. Yes, they are handy and
great in an emergency, so they do
have an important place in our
lives.
But do you teach your kids how
to survive if something happens to
that box or it doesnt work? Like
when you are out of reach of a cell
tower or it just quits working for
one reason or another. Going out
in a storm thinking they would be
able to call someone if they get in
trouble. Do they keep winter survival kits in their cars and warm
clothing, so if they are stranded
they can be safe. How to start a
fire if the need arrives. Taught not
to leave the vehicle no matter
what, at least they have that protection. Tell people where they are
going so you can find them if they
dont get back when they were
supposed to. Most of all, do you as
parents set a good example? Do
you have all this in your vehicle?
Sometimes kids are not listening,
so be sure they hear you.
Adults who know better go out
when they should stay at home, as
they are just plain bored of being
cooped up at home, so they venture out when they should stay at
home. Take time to make your
home a place where you like to be
and your kids will enjoy it and ask
their friends over to enjoy it also.
New was hard to get this week,
so hope you dont get bored with
the chit chat this week in my
news.
A little humor Meow mix My
son was watching me make a tuna
casserole and as we talked about
each ingredient as it went in, I
came to a can of tuna. Opening it
up, I asked him what we were
adding now. Cat food he replied!

Philip Scotties hoopsters Elementary winter concert

stop Bennett Co. Warriors

The Philip Scotties boys basketball team traveled to Martin, Saturday, January 25, to take on the
Bennett County Warriors in a
doubleheader. Philip is a District
14 B school. Bennett County is a
Region 7 A school.
The Philip varsity got the ball
rolling in the first quarter, gaining
a six-point lead. Halftime saw
that lead spread to 13 points. A
healthy cushion of 23 at the end of
the third quarter was not enough
to satisfy the Scotties. In a relatively high-scoring game, the
Philip players strove to the final
buzzers, winning by 31 points.
Three Scotties scored in the
double digits.

ran into a very rough start. The
first quarter saw only two points
go up on the Scotties side of the
scoreboard. The second quarter
was not much better, but it was
the beginning of a gallant comeback effort. Both teams faced momentum squelching technical
difficulties with the running of he
clock. The third quarter was a
boost for the Scotties, whose score
was triple that of their entire first
half. The final quarter brought the
Scotties to within three points of
their opponents. Not enough for a
win, but an exciting end.

The Elementary Winter Concert directed by Barb Bowen was held Monday,
January 27. The fifth/sixth band (shown
above) performed pieces such as Hail
the Conquering Hero Come, Riverside March and Android Attack. The
vocal concert presented by kindergarten
through third graders (shown below)
was based on a cold, snowy and dirty
winter. Song topics included Cold
Snap, Were Flakes, Nothing New,
Nothing Special and Youre One in a

filled in the story line with rhyming dialogue. Solos and small group voices
were incorporated into the concert.

Dekker signs to NSU volleyball

Northern State University, Aberdeen, head volleyball coach

Brent Aldridge has announced the
signings of five student athletes to
the Wolves next season. Joining
Northern next fall will be Jordyn
Dekker, Hailey Busch, Holly Vancura, Annika Van Oosbree and
Megan Weierke.
"I think that this class has a variety of athletes from different
backgrounds and different levels
of playing experience," said
Aldridge. "What I like about them
is that they all looked at Northern
volleyball and said 'I want to compete every day in practice for a
chance to play.' The culture in our
gym is such that if you win a position you get it regardless of what
year you are in school. I see some
of these players battling for not
only playing time, but starting positions in 2014. I like the makeup
of this group of players."
Dekker is a 61 middle hitter.
While at Philip High School,
Dekker was a two time Western
Great Plains All-Conference member and also set multiple records
with the Scotties, including most
blocks in a match (four) and most
blocks in a season (49). Dekker
was a four-year starter at Philip
and was named team captain this
past season. Dekker also plays on
the PHS basketball team, is a

the Trojans and is a three-time

team MVP. Vancura led Barnesville in blocks and kills her
sophomore, junior and senior seasons and was a four-time all-conference selection.
Van Oosbree is a 59 libero from
Maple Grove, Minn., where she
was a three-time first team allconference selection at Heritage
Christian Academy. This past fall,
Van Oosbree was named honorable mention all-state as she led
the Eagles to a Section 4A runnerup finish.
Weierke is a 510 outside hitter
from Jordan, Minn. Weierke was
a first team all-conference selection this past fall for the Jaguars.
Jordyn Dekker

member of the National Honor Society and is a NHS officer.

Busch is a 511 outside hitter
from Kasson, Minn., where she
was a three-year starter at Kasson-Mantorville High School.
Busch was an all-conference selection this past season and was
named to the Minnesota State
Tournament All-Tournament team
this fall.
Vancura comes from Barnesville, Minn., where she played for
the Barnesville Trojans. The 510

The Philip varsity struggled
throughout the game, not showing
any real advance until the final

their opponents to just eight point
while they gained 12. This advance was not enough, though, to
make up the difference faced during the first three quarters.

The junior varsity put forth a

battle that kept the winner unknown until the final buzzer. The
first quarter was a very cold start
for the Philip ladies, with only one
point going up on the scoreboard.
They then came back with a
vengeance, not only catching their
opponents, but passing them by
three points by halftime.
The third quarter was back and
forth play. It ended with Philip
again trailing, but by only four.
The fourth quarter was even
closer, but Philip could not make
up a game-ending difference of
only one field goal.

Philip swamped by White River First place for Brawlers at Winner

Bringing home another first
place, the Philip Area wrestling
squad topped eight other teams at
the Winner Invitational Wrestling
Tournament January 25.
Head coach Matt Donnelly noted
Winner and Bon Homme/Scotland
were two toughest teams at the
tournament. There were a lot of
tough individual wrestlers at the
meet, he said. The Philip Area
wrestlers wrestled well, he noted.
Two wrestlers are possibly out
for the season, Raedon Anderson
and Pedro Dennis, due to injuries.
On the positive side Rance Johnson
was named most valuable wrestler
at the tournament. He then presented the award to Tristan Watzel
of the Winner squad. Watzel has
some physical challenges and
Johnson thought he deserved the
honor as well. Donnelly noted that
other Philip wrestlers over the
years have done this as well and he
is proud of them for stepping up in
this manner.
Team points were: Philip Area
276.5, Winner 254.5, Bon
Homme/Scotland 246, Redfield/
Doland 143, Mobridge-Pollock
128, Sunshine Bible Academy 64,
Mt. Vernon/Plankinton/Corsica
60.5, Andes Central 53, Hill
City 22, Cheyenne - Eagle
Butte 0.

Del Bartels

Wild rebound. Philips Tristen Rush, left, and Chase Wright, right, team up to
guarantee the Scotties get possession of the ball. In back, ready for whatever happens during the Philip/White River game is Jace Giannonatti.

The Philip Scotties boys basketball team hosted the White River
Tigers, Tuesday, January 21.
The varsity team got a slow
start. Their offense and defense
seemed to never gather any momentum. In the third quarter they
doubled their score from the entire
first half, while keeping their opponents to just 10 additional
points. But, that surge turned out
to be not enough to pull back the
Tigers.

NOTICE OF AUDIT

OF THE FISCAL AFFAIRS OF THE

Haakon School District No. 27-1

Notice is hereby given that the Haakon

School District No. 27-1, Philip, South
Dakota, has been audited by Casey Peterson & Associates, Ltd., Certified Public
Accountants, for the year ended June 30,
2013. A detailed report thereon is available for public inspection, during normal
business hours, at the business office of
the School District, and also available at
the Department of Legislative Audit in
Pierre, South Dakota, or on the Department of Legislative Audit website at
http://www.state.sd.us/legislativeaudit/reports all. htm.

The following findings and recommendations provide a brief description of material weaknesses in internal control, legal
noncompliance and other matters that are
described in more detail in the audit report.

Finding 2013-1
Condition: Lack of adequate controls
related to numerous accounting functions
including the following cycles/processes:
cash receipts cycle, reconciliations of accounts, the posting of general journal entries, the cut-off and proper recognition of
revenues and expenses, and the preparation of the financial statements. Adequate
controls
in
the
previously-mentioned areas are necessary to ensure accurate financial reporting.

Auditors Recommendation: Reconciliations of accounts and journal entries

prepared by the Business Manager
should be reviewed by the Superintendent or a Board Member. In addition, procedures should be developed to ensure
proper cut-off and recognition of revenues
and expenses. It is the responsibility of
management and those charged with
governance to determine whether to accept the risk associated with the Districts
auditors drafting the financial statements,
because of cost or other considerations.
If the District chooses not to accept this
risk, training should be provided to those
employees responsible for drafting the financial statements.

The report does not contain other findings

and recommendations concerning less
significant deficiencies in internal control
at the District.

Good morning from Donna

Texas. As of this writing, it is 71
Sunday, January 26.
How many of you change the
batteries in your smoke detectors
when you spring ahead for daylight saving time or fall back?
Those things take a nine volt battery with the two poles close together. A man had a video about
how he had burned the familys
house down. Not intentionally, but
accidentally by being conscientious and changing the batteries
in the smoke detectors, putting
the batteries in a zip lock bag (because they werent dead) and put
them on a shelf in the garage. The
bag got shoved around and two
batteries touched the poles together and they started the fire.
That is so true and we almost had
a similar situation when Bill
changed batteries in a toy car.
Great-grandson Ryder Seager was
there and after the used batteries
were out Bill plugged the two together and Ryder played with
them doing the same, putting
them together then taking them
apart and eventually grew tired of
that toy and went on to other
things. A little later, he picked up
the batteries and brought them to
great-grandpa because they were
hot. A quick lesson learned there,
and it could have had a completely
different ending. The man said if
you save those batteries, put a
piece of electrical tape across the
poles to avoid an accidental touching.
Don and Vi Moody spent most of
their week working at the ranch
and doing some necessary business at the first house where all
the bookkeeping history is stored
in files. They said that they were
thankful to Brian Hanson for getting their furnace at their ranch
house up and running again Monday. It turned out to be a quick fix.
Monday was a legal holiday, so
Tony Harty didnt do much. He did
visit with Shirley Hair and with
his niece, Kathy Brown, and
played some cribbage with Kathy
before she gave him a haircut.
Good thing she won the games or
the haircut may have not looked
too good.
Sandee Gittings went to Rapid
City Monday for her week of treatments. She had a nice visit with
Viola Barry of Union Center Friday before coming home for the
weekend
Monday found L.T. Works, Judy
DeWitt, Ken and Lynn Hartman
and Bill and me on the road to
Kingsville, Texas, to take a tour of

the King Ranch after getting

breakfast on the road. It was a
very interesting tour. The King
Ranch is the third largest cattle
operation in the world. They have
approximately 875,000 acres in
and around Kingsville, Texas, approximately the size of Rhode Island. The first 50,000 acres cost
two cents an acre. From there we
went on to Corpus Christi and
viewed the USS Lexington and
Texas aquarium from across the
parking lot since we ran out of
time to tour. We had supper on the
Gulf of Mexico in a nice seafood
place. We got home just in time to
turn in.
I caught a ride to Mexico with
L.T. Works and Judy DeWitt
Tuesday. Bill and Ken had the
RVs washed right on the site in
the court, hand-washed and wiped
down while we were gone. All six
of us went out for supper, then
Judy, Lynn, Bill and I played
cards at the home of Richard and
Mary Gummo.
Tuesday, Tony Harty picked up
mail and visited with Shirley
Hair. L.D. was working at the
gravel pit in Philip.
Nancy Gaylord, Branford, CT.,
called and visited with Vi Moody
for quite awhile Wednesday night
and had lots of interesting
weather conditions to report as
well as all the things that were
happening in her world. Record
snow and cold temperatures in the
New England area have entered
the southern shore of Connecticut
and caused some problems, but
they were prepared for the worse.
Everyone has to toughen up during such an abnormal winter nationwide.
Wednesday morning, I caught a
ride with Richard and Mary
Gummo to Mexico and they
showed me around to their favorite places. We were back across
the bridge before some got out of
bed. We drove around the area
and ended up having supper on
the Riverfront of the Rio Grande.
It was a pleasant day, getting into
the 70s. For entertainment in the
evening, Judy, Lynn and I played
farkel.
Wednesday afternoon, Tony
Harty went to Martin for a few
hours since it was a cold and blustery day, good time to find things
inside.
Don and Vi Moody were in
Philip Thursday and Friday getting their windshield looked at on
their Excursion and doing other
business around and about town.
Seems that a new windshield is on

order, so will solve that problem in

the near future. Don and Vi are
fairing well and Facebook has
been fun entertainment during
the winter doldrums and the taxes
are nearing completion.
Sympathy is extended to the
families of Janice Millage and Bud
Finley.
Thursday morning, L.T. Works
and I made a trip into Mexico. The
border town is a busy place with
lots of activity along the streets.
My shopping across the border
consists of one T-shirt. Judy DeWitt kept a doctors appointment
in the afternoon. Lynn and Ken
Hartman had L.T., Judy, Bill and
me for supper in their RV and we
three gals played farkel. Judy and
I played bingo at the rec. center in
the evening, it rained and somebody left the window down on the
drivers door in our vehicle, so the
seat got really wet.
Thursday morning, Tony Harty
got the mail and visited with L.D.
and Shirley Hair and had a sandwich out.
Friday morning it was 37 and
windy in Donna, Texas. I went line
dancing in the morning at the rec.
center. The fun thing was I discovered I had two left feet and a poor
memory, but had fun anyway. Our
group got together and with L.T.
driving (sitting on the wet seat
that was covered with a blanket)
we went to the sugar cane factory
to see about a tour, due to liability
we could only get a video of a virtual tour. We did see the semi
trucks being dumped where they
lift the entire truck and trailer to
almost straight up Vertical to
empty. From there we went to a
field that was being harvested,
they used a two row harvester and
fed it into a cane cart that travelled alongside, somewhat similar
to a grain cart, but it lifts and
dumps from the side into the semi.
We had a fun day watching cane

being harvested. It seems that it

takes four to six months to get a
cane crop. Cane is grown from a
piece of cane cut into 12 inch
pieces and planted. They quite
often burn the cane fields before
harvesting and even the burned
stalk will work to be planted.
Friday, Tony Harty was up early
and made a trip to Rapid City and
did some shopping, then tried out
a new eating place with cousin
Janet Lewis. They had a nice time
catching up on family. He got
home fairly early. He took some
things hed gotten over to Dale
Koehns and Kathy Brown and visited.
Saturday, Don and Vi Moody
were settled in at their Rapid Valley home for the weekend and took
in an auction Sunday that
Piroutek Auction was conducting.
It seems that there was a lot of interest in gold and silver coins.
Saturday, Tony Harty picked up
the mail, got a sandwich then
went home. He visited with L.D.
and Shirley Hair in the afternoon
and took them things hed picked
up for them in Rapid and visited.
Not so windy and in the 50s, fairly
pleasant day in Kadoka.
I had a nice phone call from
Gladys Kuchenbecker inviting us
to come for another visit, but since
we are going to be leaving the area
Monday, guess it will have to be
another time. Thanks Gladys for
thinking of us.
Because we have South Dakota
plates and the temperature is running a lot colder than folks like,
they are thinking we brought it
with us. Things are looking bad
around here, I dont think they
string up folks for the weather,
but you never know. Covers are
protecting flowers and extra electric heaters are supplementing
the comfort level in the homes.
Sunday in the Sturgis area, a
family dinner that was planned at

Ralph and Cathy Fiedlers got

canceled because the weather took
a turn for the worse, so it was
scaled down from dinner for
eleven to one for two. Cathy said
she was happy to know the families were safe at home.
Sunday morning, Tony Harty
reported it got to 44 then started
dropping and by the time he gave
me his news in the evening it was
5 above zero. Sleet, snow and
wind before dinner. Tony attended
church, then hibernated for the
day.
Sunday, Lynn Hartman and I

attended the church services at

the rec. center here in the court.
Then we all loaded up to go to the

tour in Edinburg. We stopped for
supper out, then Lynn and Judy
played cards at the rec. center and
I worked on the news. Mary
Gummo came by for a visit with
Bill and I in the evening.

Black Hills Stock Show Ranch Rodeo field set Sheep Day at BHSS set for February 6
The Black Hills Stock Show
Ranch Rodeo will feature 63
teams competing for the coveted
title of Black Hills Stock Show
Ranch Rodeo champions for a one
day competition on Tuesday, February 4, 2014 at the James Kjerstad
Event Center at the Central States
FairgroundsThe Black Hills Stock
Show Ranch Rodeo is a true test
of who is the best cowboy since the
competitors compete in ranch like
chores but at breakneck speed.
The preliminary events will begin
at 8:00 a.m.
This is the second most entries
they have ever had for the original
Ranch Rodeo at the Black Hills
Stock Show, said Kevin Schmidt,
chair of the Ranch Rodeo Committee. The previous record for entries was 70 for last years show.
A new format to determine final
qualifiers will be implemented this
year. Preliminary rounds will require teams to complete in three
events within a five minute time
period. The top 12 four-member
teams will complete in the ranch
rodeo finals in an effort to win
part of more than $30,000 in cash

USDA
valueadded
producer
grants
United States Department of
Agriculture Rural Development
State Director Elsie Meeks is reminding South Dakotans that the
agency is accepting applications
for Value-Added Producer Grants.
In November 2013, Agriculture
Secretary Tom Vilsack announced
the availability of nearly $10.5
million (Fiscal Year 2013 funding)
in USDA grants. An additional
$15 million (Fiscal Year 2014
funding) in grants has been made
available bringing the total to
$25.5 million in grants to help
agricultural producers enter into
value-added activities designed to
give them a competitive business
edge.
U.S. agriculture is responsible
for millions of American jobs
both directly and indirectly, Vilsack said. Supporting farmers
and related businesses strengthens rural economies and helps fuel
innovation and product development. Its also an important part
of USDA programs that link farmers to their communities, and it
underscores the many benefits of
local and regional food systems.
Grants are available to help
agricultural producers create new
products, expand marketing opportunities, support further processing of existing products or
goods, or to develop specialty and
niche products. They may be used
for working capital and planning
activities. The maximum working
capital grant is $200,000; the
maximum planning grant is
$75,000.
Eligible applicants include independent producers, farmer and
rancher cooperatives, and agricultural producer groups. Funding
priority is given to socially disadvantaged and beginning farmers
or ranchers, and to small- to
medium-size family farms, or
farmer/rancher cooperatives.
Grant applications are due by
February 24. More information
about how to apply is available on
page 70260 of the November 25
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR2013-11-25/pdf/2013-28175.pdf

year we have added a saddle for

prizes earned at the Black Hills

most prestigious ranch rodeos in
the nation.

This event has become one of the

of the ranch rodeo to the James

be beneficial to both competitors

With more money up for grabs,
we are estimating this to be the
biggest ranch rodeo we have ever
produced, said Ron Jeffries, Black
Hills Stock Show general manager.
Tickets are available for the
original Black Hills Stock Show
Ranch Rodeo at the BHSS office or
online at www.blackhillsstockshow.com
Produced by Central States
Fair, Inc., the Black Hills Stock
Show began in 1959 as a venue to
promote quality cattle in the region. The Black Hills Stock Show
has since grown into a national
showcase of horse and cattle genetics, as well as top quality competitions
throughout
the
week-long event.

To promote the sheep industry

in the Northern Plains the Black
Hills Stock Show, South Dakota
State Univeristy Extension and
other area sheep affiliations have
combined with the Black Hills
Stock Show to hold Sheep Day
Thursday, February 6 at the
James Kjerstad Event Center on
the Central States Fairgrounds.
Along with the National Sheep
Shearing Contest and the sheep
dog trials and there will be
demonstrations on shearing, wool
spinning, wool handling, and wool
classification.
Dr. Lisa Surber from the Montana State Wool Lab will be in attendance demonstrating the
OFDA2000 wool fiber analyzer.

This machine can analyze the

wool fiber's diameter, length, curvature, comfort factor and prints
off a histogram detailing the uniformity of the fiber along the entire staple length.
Stock show staff have indicated
that they will welcome any sheep
related groups, individuals, businesses, and associations to set up
a table to display their products
and promotions of the sheep industry. This could include veterinary services, animal health
companies, feed companies, pasture to plate producers, wool
pools, wool processors, guard
dogs, sheep dogs, shearing crews,
breed associations, extension folk,
government agencies, American

Sheep Industry, South Dakota

Sheep Growers, South Dakota
Stockgrowers, R-CALF-Sheep,
news media, sheep equipment
companies, stores that sell wool
products and cuts of lamb, restaurants that serve lamb and so on.
Anyone interested in displaying
historical sheep equipment would
be welcome to do that as well.
Samples of lamb are certainly
welcomed, but need to be toothpick sized with no sides as we do
not want to take business from
the concessionaires.
There will be no charge for having a table, but please contact
SDSU Extension Sheep Specialist
Dave Ollila with your questions
and interest at 605-394-1722.
