It was a great tournament for the Philip Area grapplers as they brought home the runner-up plaque from the South Dakota State B Wrestling Tournament. With four wrestlers reaching the championship match,
one at third and one at fih, the Badlands Brawlers had a great tournament. Lane Blasius took the championship spot with Rance Johnson, Jed Brown and Chandlier Sudbeck placing second. Placing third and
fih were Logan Ammons and Nick Donnelly, respectively. Blasius was presented with the Lynn Wagner Memorial Scholarship and Ammons won the most pins award, for the second year in a row.

Morning fire at Konst Machine and Welding

As best as can be determined, the fire began in the
southeast side of the shop. The PVFD is figuring the
cause was a gasoline engine that is part of a small
portable welder; possibly a short or something. Everything else had been shut down before the shop was
closed up after the work day was done. The fire had
melted everything by that particular unit.
The shop is still standing, though it has received
considerable damage. After the fire, the water pipes
in the building froze, though they were thawed out
over the weekend. Owner/operator Jeff Konst is
still using the
building, but currently for small
jobs only. According to Williams,
nothing
big
until the building
can be worked
on.
If it would
have been another 10 to 15
minutes, it would
have been a
whole lot worse,
said Williams.
The fire damaged the roof, overhead
door and other parts of the welding
shop.

The Philip Volunteer Fire Department received a
call at approximately 5:10 a.m., Saturday, March 1,
for a fire at Konst Machinery and Welding.
All fire trucks were used to answer the call, with
about 16 volunteer firefighters. PVFD member Roger
Williams knew where the key to the business workshop was, thus the firefighters got in quickly and
right to the fire. It worked out really well, said
Williams.
According to him, Maureen Palecek had been up
and about, saw the fire, and called it in. Jerry Rhodes
had heard a bang, originally thinking that something
had hit the side of his house.
Fire Chief Matt Reckling led the efforts to get the
blaze under control from the inside of the shop.
Williams led the efforts outside. The firefighters who
went inside wore self contained breathing apparatuses. According to Williams, the fire presented no
outstanding difficulties, other than the very cold temperatures away from the fire itself.

The clean-up of the Konst Machine and Welding fire included checking any fire restart dangers in the ceiling of the
shop. Various members of the Philip Volunteer Fire Departement received real time experience using the self contained
breathing units. After the fire, any water, including from the
fire hoses and the buildings pipes, froze. Everything has now
been thawed out, but the building will need structural repair
before major welding jobs will be done in it.

City of Philips 2014 city election cancelled

by Del Bartels
The Monday, March 3, Philip
City Council meeting began with
concluding a piece of old business
concerning a sewer backup claim.
Following the citys request to
reconsider the claim by Continental Western Group Insurance, the
companys reply consisted of just
two sentences. In response to
your December 21, 2013 letter,
please be advised that we maintain our original liability position
on this claim. The city of Philip
did not act in a negligent manner
that caused this damage. Mayor
Mike Vetter said, I think the city
has gone above and beyond. I dont
know what else we can do.
The April 8 election has been
cancelled. Petitions for council
member Ward II and III have
been filed by only one individual
each. No petitions were filed for
the Ward I position, thus it will
have to filled by appointment by
the mayor.

Total bills pending came to

$52,552.27. This included $2,000
to the Philip Chamber of Commerce, an electric bill of $3,909.37
and $3,770.16 for free parks and
recreation water credit. The council established the 2014 water and
sewer rates for parks and recreation free water users, and issued
credit based on allocated free
water for 2014.
The ongoing airport projects
will be continued once a property
survey can be done concerning
trading airport land for private
land in order to extend the runway safety zone. Some landowners
will be specifically contacted to
emphasize this plan is in the
works and to get access permission.
The Highway 73 sidewalk and
lighting upgrade project destined
for 2015 is starting to clear any
snags. The SDDOT will schedule
a construction meeting with the
involved landowners during the

2014 summer. It has done an onsite inspection report, which

stated that some fire hydrants,
light poles and a retaining wall
will have to be moved. The project
can include the fire hydrant relocation, as long as Philip pays for
it. The retaining wall, though on
the east side of the highway from
the project, must be moved because the DOT stated, Unfortunately this retaining wall is an
encroachment on highway right of
way and needs to be removed/
moved regardless of this project.
The shared use path and trails
projects phase I seems to be a go.
The phase II TAP grant applications, and any phase III future applications, may have run into a
hitch concerning the citys appearance of commitment. Council
members have voiced disagreement that the city should put
forth any tax dollars which would
be better viewed by tax payers if
used on other projects.

Vetter suggested that, Perhaps,

despite that it is a touchy subject
and that the budget is already set
for 2014, the city should begin
looking for budgeting, on future
phases of the trails project.
Council member Marion Matt
said, We have given a firm commitment, but we do not have a
place to get funding. Its a great
project, but I think our money can
go to a better end.
Vetter said, When we look at
Philip, everything comes together
to make it a great community.
There are many things that make
a city great. We have to address it
with an open mind both ways.
Matt responded, You cant call
it a quality of life when we cant
get housing for people who would
like to move here.
Council member Trisha Larson
said, And that is a discussion we
need to have what is best for our
community.
The South Dakota Housing Au-

thority will present a preliminary

report on housing in Philip. Matt
voiced his concerns about 50 foot
lots and properties being in a flood
plain.
The council granted two building and flood plain development
permits, one for Bill and Linda
Archie to erect a fence and for Ben
Filipiak to also erect a fence.
The council was updated on the
national and state news that the
DM&E railway is being sold by
Canada Pacific railway to Genesee
and Wyoming.
The yield to date report on
Philips sales tax collections
showed that January was down
while February was up. Except for
last year, this years end of February totals are well above same
time reports since 2007. We had
a pretty good month in February.
Cant thank the businesses and
people enough, said Vetter.

Health big issue in legislature Philip City Council

by District 27 Senator
Jim Bradford
Weve now completed the seventh week of work in Pierre. We
passed crossover on February
25, and now will focus on House
Bills, just as the House will take
up the bills which have passed the
Senate. When bills are passed by
the other body, but with changes
that may not be accepted by the
other legislative body, they must
end up in a conference committee
to iron out the differences.
The last couple weeks of each
session have a lot of moving parts
as the appropriations committee
gets the final revenue numbers,

adjusts the budget accordingly,

and figures in the cost of any new
legislation which passes which impacts the general fund.
Health care has been at the
forefront this session. I was proud
to co-sponsor SB122 which would
provide audiology services for
South Dakotas children.
Prior to bringing this issue forward, insurance companies actually provided no coverage for
hearing aids. It was all out of
pocket, unless those requiring
services were Medicaid eligible.
SB122 did not require insurance
companies to offer this benefit, but
sought to define what those bene-

fits should be if the insurance

companies chose to offer a plan. It
lays out guidelines which include
providing for physician care and
licensed audiology services. Due to
support for this issue, three of the
four biggest insurance companies
in the state are now committed to
covering these life changing services.
Another related bill, HB1166,
was supported by the governor
through the Health and Human
Services Department. It proposes
to expand the use of the Telecommunications for the Deaf Fund to
provide hearing aids on a sliding
scale according to economic need.
The fund has been growing over
the years with 15 cents from every
phone line, including cellular, contributing to the fund. Lets hope
that these efforts will help children. Proper diagnosis and services to hearing-impaired children
will change lives.
While it doesnt happen very
often in our area, farmers and
ranchers who have land covered
with nonmeandered water will
want to know that some steps are
being taken to protect their rights.
A bill passed the House which restricts the use of motorized vehicles or combustion engines on
private property, even if it is covered by water or frozen water.
These engines cannot be used on a
nonmeandered lake within 660
feet of an occupied dwelling,
church, school or livestock confinement.
County officials will want to
know that the bill that redefined
agriculture property with only a
$1,000 income provision is going
to be pulled by the sponsors. Their
lobbyist told me that they will be
satisfied to have the ag land property tax task force study the issue
this summer. Several of our directors of equalization expressed concerns about the shift that would
occur in property taxes.

Lookin Around|Syd Iwan

Fun Times
Ive been having so much fun
this week. Ive been dealing with
income taxes, water heaters, and
snow. Sounds like quite a bit of
fun, dont you think?
Usually I dont mind tax work
since accounting is rather enjoyable. This year, though, Ive had a
really hard time making myself
get with the program. The third of
March is the deadline for ranchers
who dont estimate taxes, like us,
so Ive had to finally bite the bullet
and get on with it. The return, Im
happy to say, is now done and
ready to send either through the
mail or online. I havent decided
which just yet, but either is fairly
simple and only requires a moment of time.
Two things caused my reluctance to do the job. Depreciation is
the first roadblock. They have so
many rules and regulations about
that which are extremely complicated. I have a publication from
the IRS which tells all about it
and runs to a hundred-plus pages.
Just finding the right table to use
takes concentration since you
have to use the double-decliningbalance 150-percent table for
farming and ranching, and there
are several others that are similar
but not the same. Even when
using the right section, you have
to use different parts depending
on what month of the year you
placed the asset in service. Unfortunately, our family corporation
takes the 200-percent table instead of the 150 which adds to the
confusion. I finally fought my way
through all that gibberish and am

pretty sure I have it right. It

would be easier if you dealt with it
more frequently than once a year.
Secondly, I use a tax program
that I get online for the computer
that costs me about eighty bucks.
It is worth the money, but it has
glitches. You have to pay very
close attention to what youre
doing and then usually go back
and make some adjustments here
and there. The program isnt particularly designed with ranchers
in mind so I have to remember
that. This is despite the programs
claim that it will lead you through
everything and come up with the
correct return. This isnt necessarily so. Still, it wasnt as complicated as I had feared and only
took a few hours to get the financial info entered and a completed
return printed out. It looks right.
I hope it is.
I still have our corporation return to do, but that is pretty simple and only a few pages long,
whereas the main ranching return
runs to about twenty pages. Since
Im on a roll here, I plan to crank
that out later today and be done
with it. Then all I have to do is finish the accounting entries for last
year on the books and set up for
this year. Thats rather fun. I
wont have to work so hard in
making myself do it like I did with
the actual tax returns.
Then we come to water heaters.
We had to have a new one installed recently, but the factory
heat setting wasnt cutting it for
wife Corinne who likes extremely
hot baths (which I dont.) Anyway,
after several promptings, I got out
the screwdrivers, removed the two

plates, and reset the temperature

for both the upper and lower
tanks. Expecting a glowing report
after Corinnes bath that evening,
I was shocked and disappointed to
have her say the water temperature was lower than it had been.
Her bath had been decidedly lukewarm. Aargh!
Back to the screwdrivers and
plates. She was right. Instead of
turning the heat up, I had actually
turned it down. They had readings
for Celsius temperatures as well
as Fahrenheit, and the Celsius
had confused me the first time
around. I tried again and apparently got it right this time since
the water is hot enough to boil
your hands if you try to do dishes
in it just like it was with the old
water heater. If you fiddle with
things long enough water
heaters or tax returns you
might just accidentally get them
right.
I probably need to tell you very
little about dealing with more
snow and extreme cold as weve
had to this last week and all during this very long winter. You
know all about that so Ill just say
my hope is that spring will come
extremely soon. That groundhog
that caused and/or predicted this
extension of winter should obviously be shot.
With taxes done and water
heater set correctly, my current
plans are to take most of the coming week off and do only those
things that are truly fun. This
might not give me a feeling of accomplishment like the last week
has, but so be it. Let the good
times roll.

To the people, not Pierre

by Elizabeth May
District 27 Representative
Every time I cross the Capitols
threshold, it is with the knowledge
that I report to the people, not
Pierre.
That is why I brought forth two
bills, HB1234 and HB1214. The
first supplants the Common Core
standards, because theres nothing standard or common about our
children nor should there be
about their education. The second
would require an analysis of the
financial impacts incurred by
Common Cores implementation.
In 2010, before I ran for office, a
drastic overhaul of South Dakotas
educational system happened
without a vote from the legislature or a voice from the people.
Shrouded in secrecy, Common
Core remains an issue propped up
by special interests that reward a
blind eye over a clear vision. I attempted to shine a spotlight into
the depths with a bill that would
determine the potential costs local
school districts faced.
Friday, eight members of the
legislature opposed that measure,
preferring the shadows that
spawned an irresponsible pro-

gram with the potential to squander millions as opposed to a sunshine law that would protect the
people we all purport to represent.
Their refusal to even consider
the costs of Common Core has laid
a heavy burden on the backs of
taxpayers.
Following are some other bills
that were voted on this week.
One of the major topics of discussion this week in the Senate
was SB169, an act to provide for
access to and use of public waters
on public and private property
and to protect private property
rights for the citizens of South
Dakota. The bill is also known as
the nonmeandered lakes bill. The
bill passed the House and Senate
State Affairs Committee, however
it was tabled on the Senate floor
with a 31-3 vote after sportsmen
and landowners were unable to
find enough common ground to
compromise. This is the third attempt over the past eight years to
pass legislation about this issue
and it will likely return next year
for a fourth attempt.
The Senate passed SB90, stating the South Dakota High School
Activities Association should be

subject to the same open government laws as the school boards

that authorized it. The bill passed
29-5 and will now go to the House
for further consideration.
The Senate also passed SB180
to authorize the increase in the
number of video lottery machines
that may be placed in a licensed
establishment under certain conditions. It would increase the limit
from 10 to 15 per establishment.
The bill passed with a 22-12 vote
and will now go to the House.
The House Health and Human
Services
Committee
passed
HB1244 with an eight to four vote.
The bill would provide health insurance for some South Dakotans
below the poverty line by taxing
the property of currently tax-exempt hospitals. It would apply to
people earning less than 100 percent of the federal poverty line
$11,670 for an individual or
$23,850 for a family of four. To receive the health care coverage, individuals would have to not be
eligible for Medicaid, Medicare or
Indian Health Service, and would
have to work 40 hours per week.
This bill has already generated a
lot of press attention.

More efficient Governors Houses

by Governor
Dennis Daugaard
After Linda and I got married,
we built our house near Dell
Rapids where I was raised. As we
were constructing our house, we
took special steps to make our
home as energy efficient as possible. When I took office, I became
curious about whether we could
apply some of these efficiency
measures to Governors Houses.
The program was established in
1996 to give more families the opportunity to own a home. The
homes are built by inmates at
Mike Durfee State Prison in
Springfield and are intended to be
quality, low-cost, low-maintenance
homes. More than 1,900 of these
homes have been purchased by
the elderly, persons with disabilities and by income-qualified families across the state.
Last year, I asked the Depart-

ment of Corrections and the Housing Development Authority to explore ways to make the Governors
House more energy efficient, and,
in the long run, save homeowners
money.
Their first step was to build a
prototype which met the Passive
House Standard, a rigorous energy efficiency standard that requires heavy insulation, an
airtight envelope around the
house, highly efficient windows,
highly effective heating and cooling systems, and an energy recovery air exchanger. Structures
meeting the Passive House Standard have very low utility bills,
and the homes retain enough heat
to provide survivability even in extreme cold without power.
After the model was completed,
it became clear that building
every Governors House according
to the Passive House Standard

would make the house too expensive. The new Governors Houses
will apply some of the Passive
House principles. The new design
includes better insulation and
windows, an airtight envelope and
an energy recovery air exchanger.
These houses will meet the Energy Star Standard, making those
who qualify eligible for federally
insured mortgages which are
available only to energy efficient
homes.
By continuing to make the
homes even more efficient and affordable, well be making that
dream a reality for many more in
the future.
To learn more and how to apply,
visit sdhda.org and click Governors House Program under the
Home Buyers tab, or just type
Governors House in your internet search engine.

Country Praises|by Del Bartels

Stars and stripes
The dress uniform fit perfectly.
Each of his many medals were in
their exact proper place. His service record would be read aloud to
the room full of invited officers
and dignitaries. Then, he would go
through the official ceremony of
becoming one of the 230 generals
in the United States Army.
His only possible failing some
would say it was a strength was
what critics called arrogance. He
was general material; he had
earned everything as he climbed
the ranks; he had to understand
his value to the service.
Still, what he overheard earlier
nagged at him. One general had
bet another that his arrogance
would cause him to fail a last test.
The crowd was mingling for conversation and drinks before the
pinning ceremony, what last test?
He was close friends with some
of the guests and was acquainted
with most, but a few he had no
clue. It had been years since
ROTC, but his long retired commander was here. Some men from
officer candidate school were present. His first duty station was so

long ago, but he recognized some

faces from then. Parts of his many
deployments he did not want to
recall, but some faces were here,
while others could never be.
He shook so many hands that it
became rote. The few odd civilians
stood out like sore thumbs. One
older man, dressed in a worn suit
and tie, seemed amazed by the
precedence of bars and ribbons on
the lieutenant generals chest.
Glasses clinked, waiters refilled
champagne glasses, and the
nearby crowd politely listened as
the candidate listed off each
medal. This civilian seemed more
than just politely interested.
As he was doing so, he had to
silently admit the list was too long
for many to continue listening.
Other officers in the room wore
many of the same. Some had
medals he did not. Still, this civilian seemed sincerely interested.
Finally, the listing was over. His
voice had grindingly gone from almost bragging to sheepishly trying to finish the list. Some eyes
had rolled and hands had covered
snickers at him having to rattle on
and on for the civilian. Even he

was beginning to tire.

The older man looked him in the
eye, awkwardly grinned, then
said, I bet I have in my hand a
medal that puts all of those to
shame. If Im right, you owe me an
American grown steak dinner.
And, you can even be the judge.
He was flabbergasted. He
slightly nodded, not in agreement
but in astonishment. Was it a
Presidential Medal of Freedom?
Was it a lapel pin replica of a
Nobel Peace Prize? Was it an
honor from the Pope?
The mans hand slowly opened,
showing a simple gold star a
parents remembrance of a killed
soldier. Only later did the general
realize that every ear in the room
had been on him. Only later did he
recognize this was the test. The
look on his face and his next words
would prove what kind of man he
was, thus what kind of general he
would be.
All arrogance, all pride, all the
pompous accolades were gone. He
tipped his head in reverence, and
reached out to shake the civilians
hand. He quietly said, Sir, how do
you like your steak?

SDSU Research on Spring
Wheat Seeding Rates
Spring wheat planting season is
approaching, and several growers
have indicated intentions of beginning soon. Seeding rate is a management decision that is a critical
component toward achieving maximum profitability on your farming
operation (revenue less seed cost).
With funding from the South
Wheat
Commission
Dakota
(http://www.sdwheat.org/),
new
spring wheat seeding rate research
has been conducted by SDSU
Agronomists from 2010-2013 in
eastern South Dakota. This research showed a seeding rate of 1.2
million pure live seeds (PLS) per
acre maximized yields in 3 out of 4
years. The 2.3 bushel/acre increase
in yield in 2012 would have covered the cost of increasing the
seeding rate from 1.2 to 1.8 million
PLS/acre in that particular year,
but averaged over the last 4 years,
profit per acre was slightly reduced
by increasing seeding rates above
the 1.2 million PLS/acre.
Assuming an average germination of 95% (viable seed) and purity
of 99%, the 1.2 million PLS/acre
(28 PLS/ft2) equates to a 1.3 million seeds/acre. During the study,
seed size varied from 12,812 to
26,374 seeds per pound, which can
change the planting rate from 1.69
bushels to 0.82 bushels per acre, to
achieve the same number of seeds
per acre. SDSU Seed Testing Lab

germination (viable seed), purity,
and seed count services to help
growers achieve their targeted
seeding rates. Informal surveys
suggest most growers are currently
closer to the 1.5 to 1.8 million
PLS/acre seeding rate. The updated seeding rate recommendations based on this recent study
will leave the previous recommended seeding rates unchanged;
Good seedbed 1.2 million PLS/A
or 28 PLS/sq ft; Poor seedbed 1.5
million PLS/A or 35 PLS/sq ft; Late

planting 1.8 million PLS/A or 42

PLS/sq ft.
To calculate seeding rate: Bu/A
seeding rate = recommended seeding rate (PLS/A)/% germination/100 x % purity/100 x seeds/lb
x
60
lbs/Bu.
Example:
1,200,000/(0.95 x 0.99 x 16,000 x
60) = 1.3 Bu/A.
Wheat has the ability to flex
components of yield to achieve
equal yield with less plants. In this
study, components of yield (heads
per live seed planted, heads per
square foot, seeds per head, and
seed size) were measured to help
explain the adjustments spring
wheat plants can make under a
range of plant populations. As
seeding rate increased, the number
of heads per live seed planted decreased, and the number of heads
per square foot were similar at 6061 heads. At lower seeding rates,
plants increased the number of
seeds per head and produced
larger seeds.
In summary, with good seedbed
conditions and normal planting
dates, 1.2 million PLS/acre will
achieve yields equal to that of
higher seeding rates because
spring wheat plants can adjust
yield components with the resources available. Averaged over
the last 4 years, profit per acre was
slightly reduced by increasing
seeding rates above the 1.2 million
PLS/acre.
There is reason to increase seeding rate however, such as limiting
multiple tillers. A higher percentage of main tillers produces larger
heads and shortens the window of
heading and flowering, allowing
more timely heading time fungicide applications.

spring wheat seeding rate study,

Midwest Co-ops
Harvest for Hunger
food drive in March
Midwest Cooperatives is again
joining with other Cenex Harvest
States Country Operations locations for the fourth Harvest for
Hunger food drive.
They will be gathering funds,
food and grain to help fight
hunger in the local communities.
This year's campaign will be from
March 1 to March 20.
CHS will again match contributions to local charities of the employee's choice, which makes your
donation help even more. Feeding
South Dakota will again be the recipient of the meals collected.
In the past three years patrons,
business partners, friends and
employees have raised $119,329
for Feeding South Dakota, which
is 596,645 meals for local families;
along with donating $45,441 to
the Pierre/Fort Pierre Food
Pantry, providing 227,205 meals.
We also have donated funds and
food items to the Hyde and Lyman
counties and Wall food pantries.
You can make a big difference in
the lives of many local families!
We hope we can count on your

help again this year. All Midwest

Cooperatives locations will begin
accepting donations of money,
grain or food items on March 1. If
you have any questions please
contact Bob Fuller at the Pierre
office, 605-224-5935.
This weekend we are launching
our Harvest for Hunger Campaign. From March 1 through
March 20, each of our cooperative
locations will be collecting food,
funds and grain donations. Then
CHS, our parent company, will
match the funds that we raise at
our country operation and all of
the donations are kept local,
stated Anne Moore, marketing
communications specialist for
CHS Midwest Cooperatives.
We are very excited to be doing
this fundraiser for the fourth year.
You can make a big difference in
the lives of many local families,
continued Moore. We hope we can
count on your help again this year.
All Midwest Cooperatives locations will begin accepting donations of money, grain or food items
on March 1.

Make your spray pay

million is being paid out in cash.

Overall, CHS expects to return
an estimated $433 million its
second highest return on record
during its 2014 fiscal year in cash
patronage, equity redemptions
and dividends paid on preferred
stock to about 1,100 eligible cooperatives and more than 50,000 individual members and others in
49 states. CHS net income for its
fiscal year ending August 31,
2013, was $992.4 million. Patronage is based on business done with
CHS during fiscal 2013, while equity redemptions represent retirement of ownership in CHS earned
in past years. From its establishment in 1998 through the current
distribution, CHS has returned
more than $3.5 billion in cash to
its owners.
If they have not already done so,
individuals who have reached age
70 and representatives of the estates of deceased members are encouraged to contact Handcock and
request redemption of their equity. CHS makes equity redemptions to eligible individual direct
members throughout the year,
based on attaining age 70 or estate retirements, but potentially
eligible individuals must initiate
contact.

Hay/forage finder
To help connect suppliers of hay
and forage with those in need,
South Dakota State Univeristy
Extension hosts a Facebook group
called SDSU Extension Feed &
Forage Finder.
The Facebook group is open to
anyone who is interested in either
buying or selling hay or feedstuffs.
These listings can include baled
hay, straw or silage, as well as individuals seeking pasture to rent,
custom feeding or custom grazing
arrangements, explained Warren
Rusche, SDSU Extension cow/calf
field specialist.
Our purpose for starting this
Facebook group was to provide a

low cost way for buyers and sellers

to connect. This page harnesses
the power of social media to help
make those connections, Rusche
said.
To access the page, Facebook
users should type "SDSU Extension Feed & Forage Finder into
the search box. From there, individuals have the option of viewing
the postings as well as asking to
join the group.
For more information, contact
Rusche at Warren.Rusche@sdstate.edu or Shannon Sand, SDSU
Extension livestock business management field specialist, at Shannon.sand@sdstate.edu.

Apply for CRP hay

The South Dakota Department
of Agriculture encourages ranchers from blizzard disaster declared
counties to apply for donated 2013
Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP) mid-term management hay
bales.
Applications are being accepted
until 5:00 p.m. CDT, Friday,
March 21.
USDAs Farm Service Agency is
allowing producers with 2013
CRP mid-term management hay
to donate the baled residue to
SDDA, rather than destroy it.
All producers in the affected
Atlas blizzard counties are eligible
for the donated hay. Submitting
an application does not guarantee
distribution of hay to your operation.
Baled residue from CRP ground

will be available in limited quantities. SDDA will coordinate the

donation effort between the CRP
participant and the livestock producer. The recipient will be responsible for expenses and
arrangements associated with
transporting the donated hay.
Extra precautions may need to be
exercised as movability of the hay
is limited.
Producers receiving hay will be
selected by SDDA based on the
number of applications received,
the amount of hay available and
need.
Applications for the program
can be found at http://sdda.sd.gov
or by contacting SDDA. For more
information on eligibility and conditions, contact Jamie Crew at

Midwest Co-ops share

in CHS cash distribution
Nearly 1,370 eligible patrons of
Midwest Cooperatives will share
in the distribution of $6.1 million
in cash patronage and equity during 2014, based on business they
have conducted with the company.
Were extremely proud that we
once again can deliver this important benefit of being part of a cooperative business to our customers and owners, said Milt Handcock, general manager. One of the
most important ways we help producers grow is by delivering an
economic return on the business
they do with Midwest Cooperatives. This, along with the quality
energy and crop inputs, crop marketing and services we provide
year-round, underscores the
added value of being a cooperative
system owner and customer.
Through their ownership in a
cooperative like Midwest Cooperatives, not only do they have access to products and services, they
also share in our success and that
of the integrated Cenex Harvest
States system. This enables all of
us to invest in the future of our
local producers, this business and
our community, said Handcock.
Midwest Cooperatives is a locally controlled retail division of
CHS Inc., the nations leading producer-owned cooperative.
During 2014, Midwest Cooperatives will allocate a total of $6.1
million in patronage dividends to
its eligible customers based on
business done September 1, 2012

Midwest Cooperatives agronomist Ryon Berry demonstrated to Tyrone Moos and

Steve McDonnell how Cenex Harvest States products increase surface coverage
on plants.

Cenex Harvest States Midwest Cooperatives held a grower

meeting "Make your Spray Pay,
Friday, February 28 in Philip.
As spring is just around the corner, Midwest Co-op wanted to educate producers on how to get the
most out of their applications. The
local agronomist, Ryon Berry, lead
an interactive session filled with
demonstrations including how to
test your water's pH levels, and
how CHS products, when added to
your spray process, can improve
coverage and product performance.
With governmental regulations
changing on drift issues, the
agronomist gave a demonstration
on how Buckhorn, a CHS product,

reduces drift. Along with the explanation of how CHS's additive

products work, they introduced
their newest product Aventine
Complete. Aventine Complete is a
micronutrient fertilizer which provides all the nutrients young
plants need for robust growth and
higher yields.
Midwest Cooperatives would
like to thank all of the producers
for attending, and hope that this
opportunity provided them with
helpful information to take back
to the farm.
For more information on any of
the CHS products or services, do
not hesitate to contact your local
agronomist.

February 12 marked the birthday of Abraham Lincoln our 16th

our nation, shared the same vision
for our country the union of the
states, freedom and equality for all
men and the balance of power between the branches of government,
executive, legislative and judicial.

photos about Marty Hansen and
his taxidermy business. It gives
some of the basic information about
taxidermy and explains that Marty

Hansen, have a wholesale bait-selling and fish hatchery business.
Marty represents Haakon County

there is little need for the curtailing the use of coal.

We did have a pleasant game.
Thank you, Gwynn. As usual the
Somerset Court kitchen staff provided a wonderful supper. The
chicken a la king was very tasty
and the French fries were excellent. Gwynn brought me two more
of those really good California avocados! I bet I dont leave them

Irene McKnight went over to Fountain Springs to be with her family
for an 89th birthday party for her
husband, Royal McKnight. Best
wishes for a good fun time.
My second amaryllis is opening
and I set it out in the hall to share.
It may be a variegated bloom. The

so lucky to have these flowers.
Very appropriately, the February
20, 2014 Philip Pioneer Review has
an article about Jerry Rhodes
being a hall of fame inductee. Jerry
has been a much loved and respected coach and teacher for over
40 years. He taught in Philip since
1974.
Ruth Sichterman said that she is
interested in the livestock sales reports in the Philip Pioneer Review.
I havent collected much news, so
thought that I would print up some
of Pas news from 1911, just over
100 years ago. What a year that
was. It was dreadfully dry here in
western South Dakota. My folks
lived in the Grindstone country,
about 25 miles northwest of Philip
or 20 miles north of Cottonwood.
They and their neighbors had to
sell their cattle and other animals
because there was no grass for hay.
My folks planned to go and live in
Washington state, where my
mothers mother and stepfather
lived near Brinnon, Wash. They
first spent a month in eastern
South Dakota while my sister, Evalynn, recovered from typhoid fever.
They had relatives in Hetland.
Quoting from Pas journal September 1, 1911, Art Scoville
(brother-in-law) and I went to
town. We fetched our stuff out. September 5, Evalynn is better. Cut
corn and the thing broke down. Got

it fixed and went to cutting again.

I got rheumatism in one leg September 9. September 12, nice day.
Evalynn is getting better. My leg is
no better. September 13, cut corn,
shocked corn for Art.

February 24, 2014, at Somerset
Court, the usual jolly bunch played
ping-pong poker. Addie won one
game, Marilyn Butts the other.
Addie had two pair.
Gwynn took me to my regular
check-up with Dr. Eaton. He said
he would see me in three months.
It was 7 with a wind. Gwynn flies
back to California tomorrow.
Thank you for your visit, Gwynn.
We did get in a bunch of good scrabble games. she usually wins! Wishing you a good journey home,
Gwynn.
My daughter, Vinnie, and her
husband, Danny, emailed about
Dannys abstract paintings that are
on an online magazine called
phren-z. I thought it would be fun
to see them. One is the one that our
son, David Hansen, bought. Vinnie
says to say, Hi, to our tablemates,
Irene McKnight, Marilynn Butts,
and Myrna Pokorney. Vinnie would
like one of those photos we took
while we were playing goofy golf
when she was out for a visit recently.
Continuing on with Pas journals
from 1911-1912, when my parents
visited around Hetland before they
went to winter in Washington
state September 13, east wind
blowing hard. September 14, I finished shocking corn for Aaron. September 15, Art broke the
cornbinder so he cut fodder in the
forenoon. I cut corn for him in the
afternoon and he went to town.
September 16, I phoned over to
over to Griffiths and Charley came
over and got us with his auto. We
stayed all night. It was a fine day.
September 17, Sunday, it rained
and Henry and Nellie came over.
The wind changed and it was cold
in the evening. September 18, a
nice day. Dave and Charlie and I
went to Hattie Norden and Albert
(Lake Norden and Lake Albert) ahunting. We got a nice bunch of
ducks, but we got cold before we
came home. September 19, light
frost in some places. We shocked
corn for Dave. We had a big feed of
ducks today for dinner. September
20, we played cards and Dave got
mad. September 21, a nice day but
foggy. Uncle Doug came over to
Griffiths in the forenoon. It cleared
off and Charlie took us to town to
Hetland. September 22, a nice day.
We stayed in Hetland all day and
went down to W.C. Smiths at night
to stay all night. September 23, we
went over to George Barbers for

dinner and then to Dougs and

stayed all night. September 24,
Doug took us to Wills and we
stayed all night and then he took
us to Hetland.

February 25, 2014, at Somerset
Court with Susan and Sandis help,
we had the activity of blongo, sometimes called ladderball. Those playing were Floy Olson, Marilynn
Butts, Wilma Gabrielson, Fred
Smith, Irene McKnight, Mary Lou
Peters, Betty Sanders, Marge
Olson and Vivian Hansen. Ruth
Sichterman was elected first place
cheerleader. For game one, we had
four winners each with nine points.
Game two, Vivian won with 13
points and game three, winners
were Fred Marge, Wilma and Mary
Lou and I think they each got nine
points again.
Marilyn Butts had the company
of her daughter and two little
granddaughters from Great Falls,
Idaho. Her granddaughters, Scarlett is two and her sister, Eden, is
a little baby.
The Rapid City Journal for February 25, 2014, had a photo of the
old grain elevator at Okaton. Such
a strong, old skeleton. You can see
the strength of the tons of lumber
used to build it and probably a ton
of nails. I knew it was the Okaton
elevator before I read the caption!
I showed the photo to Somerset
Court resident, Bette Reumann,
who is from Presho and she recognized it too. She also offered to
bring a funeral folder from her husband, Kens, funeral for the Somerset Court scrapbook.
February 25, we had bingo. Then
for the birthday bash we had treats
of a beautifully decorated white
cake, vanilla ice cream and coffee.
Jack Humke was there to lead us
in singing happy birthday, God
bless you to residents whose birthday were Betty Sander, 2-2, Alvin
Ellerton, 2-6, Mildred Kraemer, 213, Maxine Burgess, 2-28. Staff
with birthdays in February were
Jeri Deschamp, 4, Gary Vinson, 7,
Carissa Dachtler and Kammy
Trullinger,
16
and
Joseph
Weisinger, 21.
Wednesday, February 26, at
Somerset Court, Shawn and Sandi
gave us the delightful activity of
camp-in. Before a big TV screen
full of the scene of a merry fireplace
fire, we sat in a circle and had
campfire treats. We had smores,
chips, corn crisps and canned
sodas. Members of the group told
camping stories and other fond
memories of childhood and old
times. Here is an example Fred
Smith told about his young relative
who got a fire in his baler. He had
only a couple cans of pop with him.

He sprayed the pop on the fire and

it still wasnt out, so he went to his
pickup and got into his six pack of
Mt. Dew. That worked for him and
ever since, he has carried a six
pack of Mt. Dew along on his tractor.
Another of Freds stories was
about when he was in a country
school and the boys outhouse was
old and shabby while the girls had
a new one. The boys had a hole in
the back of the girls toilet so they
could peek. The girls stuffed the
hole with toilet paper. The boys set
fire to it and it caught on and made
a big smoke and the fire truck came
out from Fruitdale. Both the boys
and girls got new toilets.
Irene McKnight told about their
country school which was across a
deep ravine with a bridge. A big
storm came and the teacher kept
the girls at the school, where she
had a teacherage. Irenes husband,
Royal, came over to the school and
led all the boys home back across
the ravine, hand in hand and over
the bridge to stay all night at their
place.
Dwight Mann remembers acting
as Santa Claus for the country
school where his mother was teaching.
Agnes Tastad recalls a camping
trip where her folks had a double
sleeping bag on the ground, but
thought nothing of it. They snuggled in to sleep and something was
squirming around in their bag!
They wanted out very fast! It is difficult to get out of a double sleeping
bag fast! They found a couple of
chipmunks had taken up residence.
Thanks, Shawn and Sandi. Girls,
we had a fine time at the camp-in.
February 26, Charlotte Goss
came to Somerset Court to have
lunch with her mother, Marie Sudgen.
Somerset Court resident, Connie
Stevens, brought her granddaughter, Kristin Rich, from Singapore,
in to meet residents. Kristins husband works for a computer company that makes intricate and
probably minute parts (some of
gold or platinum.) They plan to be
in Singapore for two years. Singapore can be found on the world map
at the very south tip of the Malay
Peninsula, between the islands of
Sumatra and Borneo. But you
know how it is, nowhere is far anymore.
My son, David K. Hansen, Ft.
Pierre, is already looking forward
to the DakotaFest in Mitchell in
August. He had a booth there last
year and found it good for business.
At his iron working shop, he manufactures a very helpful machine.
Attached to the front of a skid steer
loader, it can pull up posts or pound
them in and pick up and carry
posts and other items and lay them
down.
The new Smithsonian magazine,
(thanks, Carol and Al) has a piece
about sandhill cranes. Sandhill
cranes have been in existence over
34 million years. It is estimated
that 80 percent of them congregate
mid-February, March and into
April, along the 80 mile stretch of
the Platte River in central Nebraska to fatten up for the trip to
nesting grounds near the Artic Circle. What a sight!.
Friday, February 28, at Somerset
Court, we had the activity of stairclimbing. Our activity directors are
at top and bottom of the stairs or
walk beside us. It is good to have
confidence in our ability to walk
stairs in case of emergency. I had
an opportunity to experience a ride
in the emergency chair. One staff
member can give the resident a
ride down the stairs safely and
quickly. Sandi asked me it I would
like to try it, and I said, It looks
scary! She said that Lucille had
just had a ride. So I said, If Lucille
can do it, I can do it! and so Ryan
gave me a ride from third floor to
first. It felt quite safe and comfortable. We are thankful to have this
item of safety equipment. Prospective residents will be glad to learn
that we have the stair chair.
The Rapid City Journal for February 28, 2014, had a photo from a
Philip resident, Bud Stickler. He
had a pickup tire that received a
solid coating of snow. Only the nut
stuck out and made it look like a
face.
Happy
birthday,
Maxine
Burgess, February 28.
A package came in the mail
today. It was from my great, greatgranddaughter, Teagan Snively,
Gillette, Wyo., age three and onehalf. She had colored short,
straight sections of macaroni with
food colors and strung them up for
a necklace. Thank you, Teagan.
Somerset Court resident, Myrna
Pokorney, had company at lunch on
February 28, her youngest sister
and husband, Yankton.
February 28, we received the
new Somerset Court activity schedule. Several highlights are mentioned. March 4, Mardi Gras
parade and party. March 5, quilting. Come and work on the new
auction quilt. March 8, trip to Suzie
Cappa house to paint. The deal is,
you can go there for a fee and you
get to paint a canvas. It is your
choice of what you want to paint.
For lesser fee you can paint a second canvas. All paints, brushes etc.
are included. I have not seen this
activity mentioned before.

Edith "Thelma" Johannesen,
age 97, Quinn, S.D., died March 2,
2014, at the Good Samaritan Center in New Underwood.
Edith "Thelma" Chadwick was
born January 24, 1917, to Elvin
and Edith (Rush) Chadwick in
Wabasha, Minn., in her Grandma
Chadwicks home. At six months
of age they moved to St. Paul,
Minn. A year and a half later, she
was joined by her sister, Stella.
Because of her fathers declining
health, they moved to Cottonwood
when she was 11 years old. There
were lots of things for a city girl to
learn on the farm. She worked on
the N.Y.A. program making mattresses until Pearl Harbor was
bombed and the program was
stopped.
On December 17, 1941, she
married Harry Johannesen, the
love of her life, in Rushville, Neb.
They moved on the hill above her
parents. Two years later they
started their family. She enjoyed
raising a big garden and canning.
She loved seeing all the animals
on the farm, especially the baby
animals. Every year she raised
lots of chickens.

In November 1970, she was

widowed. She continued to live on
the farm with her son, Howard,
until June 2006 when he suddenly
passed away. Then she moved to
Rapid City to live with her daughter, Betty, and her husband,
Bruno.
She enjoyed reading, writing
letters to people in the hospital,
military, or any other occasion,
solving crossword puzzles and visiting with family and friends.

After a fall in May 2010 she was

unable to walk again so moved
into the Good Samaritan Nursing
Home in New Underwood.
She is survived by her daughter, Betty (Bruno) Blaszkowski of
Rapid City; her sons, Gene (Ester)
Johannesen and Jerry (Jody) Johannesen, all of Wall; 14 grandchildren; 36 great-grandchildren;
seven great-great-grandchildren;
and numerous nieces and
nephews.
She was preceded in death by
her husband, Harry; her son,
Howard; her parents; and her sister, Stella.
Visitation will be held from 4:00
to 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, March
6, at the Rush Funeral Chapel in
Wall, and one hour preceding the
services at the church on Friday.
Services will be held at 10:30
a.m. Friday, March 7, at the
United Methodist Church in Wall,
with Pastor Darwin Kopfman officiating.
Interment will be at the Mt.
Hope Cemetery in Quinn.
A memorial has been established to the Good Samaritan Center of New Underwood.

Greetings from cold, overcast,

snowcovered northeast Haakon
County. Our temperature is about
15 as I write this, which is a big
improvement over the temperatures here last weekend. I think
man and beast alike are looking
forward to the warmer temperatures we are expecting later this
week. People around here are generally pretty stoic, knowing that
we live in South Dakota and we
can expect cold, snowy weather in
our area during the winter
months. But everyone seems to be
running out of patience we are
all ready for warmer temperatures!
The news this week will be a bit
brief, because I was gone and didn't have time to make many news
calls. Thanks to the neighbors
who sent me their news electronically I appreciate it!
Remember: The Hayes play will
be presented this weekend, March
7, 8 and 9!
Lee and Mary Briggs had supper at Dick and Gene Hudson's
Wednesday evening. Thursday,
Mary and granddaughter Kinsey
Riggle headed to Keva Briggs'
home near Sturgis so they could
attend the State A Wrestling Tournament in Rapid City over the
weekend. Rea and Clay Riggle,
Cattibrie Riggle and her friend,
Alex, went out to watch the tournament also. Lee Briggs was in
Wall Thursday to attend a Golden
West meeting. Congratulations to
Keva's son, Zane, who took fourth
place in his weight class at the
State A Wresting Tournament.
The Briggs and Riggle families returned home Sunday.
Duane and Lola Roseth went to
Midland Wednesday evening to
attend the EMS (fire and ambulance) banquet. Friday, they flew
to Phoenix to visit Lola's brother,
Joe Klima, and his wife, Pam.
While there, they attended the
NASCAR race Sunday. (They
picked a great weekend to be
gone!)
Nels and Dorothy Paulson said
there hasn't been much news from
their homestead. Wednesday, they
went to Pierre and got some new

We woke up to -18 temperatures Sunday morning! Now thats
cold! On a positive note, there was
no wind. As the day moved toward
afternoon, I was sitting in my favorite spot on the couch, looking
out our bay window. The sky was
a beautiful shade of light blue,
with the sun shining down softly
on the snow covered ground, and
two large birds, with white wings
spread, lazily floating around in
that light blue sky. A picture perfect, postcard scene, played out before my eyes. I just sat there for a
time, enjoying the moment, filled
with a sense of peace and tranquility, on that cold winters day.
God does gift us with those Kodak
moments and arent we just so
glad that He does?
From the looks of things, news
will be a bit short this week. Boys
district basketball games have
started. Calving has begun for
some folks and with those cold
temperatures folks are staying
close to home. Those who are a
part of the Midland play are busy

studying their lines and having

practices on Wednesday and Sunday, each week. Joy Jones said
their daughter, Lani Olson, had
called reporting they had -50
wind chill Saturday night. Thats
what a person would call some
dangerous weather conditions.
Lani and Scott Olson and daughter, Molly, live at Devils Lake,
N.D.
Reminder: The Midland School
Booster Club is once again sponsoring a roller skating party at the
Midland School gym March 15
from 1:00 to 4:00. This is open to
all ages. So mark your calendar,
enjoying a time of fun on what has
been a cold and windy winter.
Correction: I had written in my
news column that a part of the
railroad had been bought by the
Genesse and Wyoming railroad.
That is not correct, plans have
been put in place to buy that part
of the railroad and now are waiting to get the okay, hoping to get
an answer in the not to distant future. I am the first to agree, wrong
information needs to be corrected.
Guests at the home of Steve and
Julie Daly for dinner March 1
were Bruce and Linda Kroetch,
Philip,
Andrew and Lisa
(Kroetch) Kunz, Joe and Claire,
Sioux Falls, Judy Daly, Steve and
Julie, Carson and Dane Daly and
Mickey Daly. The day being so
cold, Marie Anderson and Eleanor
Kroetch did not venture out from
the warmth at the Silverleaf. The
occasion was to celebrate Carsons
10th birthday, which is February
29, Claires third birthday and

Mickeys birthday which is actually on March 1. There were two

birthday cakes to choose from.
Everyone enjoyed the day. With
calving going on at the Daly place,
Judy said she, Steve, Julie, dont
venture far from home. Baby
calves have a place in the barn on
these cold winter days.
Thursday, Dr. Wayne Anderson
and his wife, April, came from
Rapid City taking Waynes mom,
Marie Anderson, of the Silverleaf
Assisted Living at Philip, and his
sister, Judy Daly, out to lunch at a
local steakhouse in Philip. Judy
reports Marie Addison, Murdo,
and her daughter, Jean Calhoon,
were also there, so she and Marie
Addison got to visiting about
teaching school in Midland. Judy
remembers filling in as the business teacher one full semester at
Midland, due to the fact the school
didnt have a teacher to fill that
position at the time. Judy tells she
has always liked math and really
enjoyed teaching those business
subjects to those students. Being
the junior class sponsor and that
class being in charge of the carnival and all that goes with that, it
was a busy time, but reports are it
was a success, so they must have
done it right. I remember those
school carnivals, they were always
fun. It was a bit sad when those
carnivals were no longer. The
school was set to hire Judy to complete the school year, when a fellow graduating with a business
degree applied for the job. Judy
also told that she was often asked
to substitute teach. Not having a
whole lot of news for this week, I
had time to visit. I enjoyed hearing Judys stories of when she
lived in Honolulu, Jalene was two,
I believe. Judy reports their first
day there was Pearl Harbor Day,
with canons going off. Judy reports they were very loud and
going off all over the place, and
not knowing what was going on
she said it was scary and then
she learned it was Pearl Harbor
Day. Judy said they lived within
walking distance of the most fa-

mous landmark in Hawaii, Diamond Head, which she said is an

old, dead volcano and reports it is
beautiful!
And speaking of math, Judy and
I got to visiting about Deborah
Snook, Philip High School mathematics and physics instructor,
being recognized as this years
Daktronics Outstanding Mathematics Teacher in South Dakota.
Congratulations, Deb! Anyone
who knows Deb, or having her
teach their son or daughter, knows
of her dedication as a teacher and
having that dedication recognized
and honored, is most deserving. As
many of you know, Deb and her
husband, Gary Snook, and sons,
Gavin and Garrett, have a farm
north of Midland. Judy had a
story to share of Gary and Deb.
She was the photographer at their
wedding. It was an interesting
visit, Judy, thank you for sharing.
I gave Marie Addison a call to
hear her story of filling in as a science teacher here in Midland,
until a teacher in that field could
be found. When Marie got that
call asking her about teaching the
science classes in high school, she
and Chad had a number of children at home. As some of you
know, Chad passed away some
years ago and Marie now lives in
an apartment in Murdo. After
thinking it over, Marie made the
decision to give it a try. She was a
dietitian at the time, which is a
part of the science field. Marie reports she thoroughly enjoyed her
time of teaching in Midland, remembering the class floats for
Free Day, she said the parents
were real good about helping out.
And as for things at home, the
older kids were a big help, with
the younger kids. She remembers
two of her younger kids, Rena and
Teresa, enjoying playing school at
home. Marie is one those nice people, always has a smile and a good
natured laugh and you find yourself feeling better for the visit.
Thanks, Marie, for sharing!

Jenna Finn, Barb Jones, Carol
Hunt, Christine Niedan, Amy
Hulce, Jennifer Blye, Mary Parquet, Sonia Nemec and librarian,
Karel Reiman. The main purpose
for the meeting was to discuss our
soup and sandwich library benefit
which is always held on the night
of the Education Fair at the Midland School. The Education Fair
will be March 27, 2014, with our
soup supper in the dining room at
the school from 4:30 to 6:00. If
some come later, we wont turn
them away. So, mark your calendar folks! Come and enjoy a tasty
bowl of chicken noodle or chili and
have a chance to see what the stu-

dents have done throughout the

year.
And for those of you who enjoy a
good western adventure, a number of western books by authors,
William W. Johnstone and Ralph
Compton, have been donated to
the library by Richard Doud.
We also discussed the need for
roof repair on the library. Carol
was going to check on getting
someone for the task. Following
the meeting, everyone enjoyed
homemade cookies and other
snacks, along with coffee or apple
juice, furnished by Karel Reiman.
Thanks, Karel, we especially enjoyed those delicious cookies.
Thats it for this week, folks!
Jerry and I really havent done
much either, just staying home,
thankful for the warmth in our
house. From the sounds of things,
warmer temperatures are coming
our way; we are more then ready,
right? Those baby calves are too!
As I close my column for another
week, and with the talk going
around of country schools and visiting with Judy Daly and Marie
Addison of there experiences in
teaching, I leave you with the following, Minds are like parachutes. They only function when
opened. Have a good week!

printed on them. The price is
$20 with $8 going for the cost
of the shirt and $12 is to go to
cattleman's relief fund. A business in Faith has printed them
and can be ordered in all sizes
from childrens to adult. If you
are interested in a shirt plus
helping out this relief organization call either Bobette
Schofield at 544-3219 or Dawn
Simons at 739-3861. I believe
Bob and LaVonne Hansen at
Howes store also have them.
Bobette stresses that all of the
proceeds after the $8 cost of
the shirt will be given to the
cattleman's relief fund.

March 6, 2014 Pioneer Review

Betwixt Places| Marsha Sumpter 837-2048

bilmar@gwtc.net

Good morning from Albuquerque, N.M. It seems that

March has come in like a lion with
deep freeze temperatures in South
Dakota and a lot of the country.
Dont forget to spring ahead
March 9. Hard as it may seem,
spring is not too far off. I hope
Mother Nature has it figured out.
We have really enjoyed all the
beautiful tree blossoms as we
have traveled around the West
Coast area and southern part of
the United States.
Monday, February 24, Bill and I
were on the move again. Weather
was headed toward the West
Coast and it was time to travel.
We enjoyed breakfast with Janet
and Jim Snow in Redding, Calif.,
then were on the road. We met
Ken and Lynn Hartman along the
way by Red Bluffs, Calif. San
Francisco, here we come. We had
our sights set for Half Moon Bay,
Calif., in an RV park called Pelican Point. All went along good on
the road and Ken led us right into
his home stomping grounds, but
those wonderful GPS devices that
you love to hate, took us on a wild
goose chase looking for the RV
park and like sheep we followed it
to a dead end street. Ken, being
the leader, got too far in and was
unhooking his Jeep when a
passerby suggested instead to put
the motor home in neutral and
pull it back with the Jeep.
Hmmm, may work, but didnt try
it. Bill and I had stopped back far
enough to be able to make a turn.
Lynn and I got in the jeep with in-

structions to the guys to stay put

until we got that darned GPS to
lead us to the right place or ask directions. (The latter worked!)
However, while we were on our
quest to find the right place, Bill
put in a frantic call. (They hadnt
stayed where we left them.) Hed
lost Ken somewhere and was in a
school parking lot with not much
room and mothers trying to get
kids. I told him wed find him, but
if possible unhook our vehicle so
he may stand a chance of getting
himself out of that place. Long
story short, once unhooked, and
some of the ladies moved their vehicles out of the way, Bill managed
to slowly wiggle his way out of
there and I drove our vehicle.
Once settled in, Ken was our
guide through his childhood years.
Some things had changed. The
high school was now an enlarged
elementary school, but in this
world of changes, so much of the
place he grew up in was unchanged. After supper downtown
Half Moon Bay, it was off to see
the Golden Gate Bridge at night.
Bill and I dont follow directions
too well, we went across the
Golden Gate Bridge to watch the
lights, only to see the Bay Bridge
doing a lighting dance. Jim had
told us about it, but we got the
wrong bridge. It was still pretty.
We were grateful to have such a
great tour guide and driver, Ken.
Sandee Gittings finished her radiation treatments this past week.
She says it is so good to not have
to be gone all week. Next on the

agenda is one more surgery.

Tuesday, Ken was up and out
early getting parts at the hardware store and I picked up coffee
at a caf and used the Internet to
send the news. Next, we were off
to see the sights of San Francisco.
We went to Fishermans Wharf
and saw a lot of sea lions on
wooden platforms. Some store
front looking and I managed to
splatter on the ground when I
tripped. Thats what I get for
gawking around. We got to a place
to catch the cable car and took a
ride up and down the hills, amazing! Ken even took us down Lombard Street after doing a creative
turn around when possible maneuver. That street is brick and
zigzags back and forth for an entire block. I think youd have to
pay me to live on it. That evening,
Kens brother and wife, Ray and
Debbie Hartman, treated us to
supper out in the Half Moon Bay
area.
Meanwhile, back in the Kadoka
area, Tony Harty kept close track
of where we were traveling and
what we were seeing. Also, he
gave us weather reports which
made us want to stay south a lot

longer. He reported nothing too

exciting happening the first part
of the week. Tony got the mail and
visited L.D. and Shirley Hair
nearly every day and tried to stay
warm. The main news was the
weather. Snow, wind and cold. Any
day that got over 30 seemed like
summer!
Don and Vi Moody started off
their week in Rapid, Monday.
They returned to the ranch Tuesday just before dark, traveling
through a bit of blowing snow at
Wall. The advisory about winter
storm Titan was the biggest news
all week and it involved many
states and lots of TV publicity, so
settling in was a good idea with
virtually not much travel and
keeping fuel tanks on the upper
half for the week. Tony Harty
called Don and Vi to remind them
that Jed Brown, Kathy Brown's
son from Kadoka, would be among
the Philip area wrestlers getting
into the State B wrestling championship games Saturday night. It
was interesting to watch the talented athletes, since the championship matches were televised. So
keeping warm was the most important thing, watching the

weather channel and following

Marsha and Bill across the country. Don put a "bug" on every location they have been in for two
months. Vi said they are worn out
from all that travel on the Internet.
Wednesday, Ken and Lynn and
Bill and I were on the road out of
San Francisco in a light drizzle.
Ken selected a good route and we
went over the mountain and
across the San Francisco Bay. We
took the cut across to Lemoore
and pulled into Kent and Nina
Fairchilds to park just long
enough to make a return at the
Base Exchange. The long way by
GPS. We enjoyed one more T-bone
breakfast, then were back on the
road to Highway 99. We made it to
Boron, Calif., and set-up for the
night. Behind us, it was raining in
California. Redding got over four
inches of much needed rain and
Janet said the lake rose a foot and
a half. Los Angeles got so much
rain mud slides were an issue
anyway, we moved along just at
the right time.
There is still time to enter the
BEEF Why I Ranch essay contest. Submit an essay of 300 words

or less on why you love the land

Scotties run over Kougars Lady Scotties end season

The 2014 girls high school basketball season ended for the Philip
Lady Scotties on Tuesday, February 25, with their second game of
the District 14B Basketball Tournament at South Dakota School of

The evening before, the number
five seeded Scotties had defeated
the number four seeded Rapid
City Christian Comets 54-49.
Then on the second evening of the
tournament, the Scotties faced the
number one seeded Wall Eagles.
The Philip Lady Scotties had
played against the Wall Eagles
earlier in the season, losing to
them 33-45 on December 12, and
again 40-53 on January 20.
The first quarter ended 3-5,
with Philip within a field goals
reach of their opponents. The second quarter saw increased scoring
but the teams were still equally

The junior varsity faced a far

tighter match. Kadoka got on the
scoreboard first with a threepointer. As the clock read 4:30,
Philip also got on the board with a
field goal. Not until the 1:24 mark
did the Scotties get another point,
a free throw. Another field goal
with a connected free throw put
Philip at six at the end of the first
quarter.
During the second quarter,
Philip reversed the momentum,
ending the first half trailing by
only one point.
The third quarter belonged to

the Scotties. The fourth quarter

saw a slippage, though, and Philip
lost a large chunk of its breathing
room. When the smoke cleared,
the Scotties won by just four
points.
Philips junior varsity player of
the game was Ben Stangle.

score. It was a clear win for Philip.
The varsity player of the game
for the Scotties was Nelson Holman. Holman had a strong all
around game. He scored 21 points
and had three assists and four
steals.

District 14B Basketball Tournament, which started Monday,

March 3. As of March 3, the rankings were a total of less than
seven seed points apart for all six
District 14B teams. The number

The annual Knights of Columbus State Free Throw contest was

held Sunday, March 2, at St.
Josephs School at Chamberlain.
Up to seven kids from every age

order to qualify for the state competition, an individual must win
their respective council shoot (15
free throws), and then shoot at the
district level (25 free throws).
In Philip, the council and the
district shoots are shot in the
same day. Once every district submits their results, the state takes
the top seven district winners to
participate at the state competition.
Anywhere from 500 to 1,000
kids shoot throughout the state.
At the local level, Philip held its
council/district shoot Wednesday,
January 15, at the Philip elementary gymnasium. Winners at the
local level in the boys division
were 10 year old Ethan Burnett,
11 year old Jet Jones, 12 year old
Casey Shreiver, 13 year old Conner Dekker, and 14 year old Trew
DeJong. In the girls division were
10 year old Brin Heltzel, 11 year
old Allison Williams, 12 year old
Josie Rush, 13 year old Kaitlyn
Fosheim, and 14 year old Jada
Jones.
District winners were Trew DeJong, Allison Williams, Kaitlyn
Fosheim, Jada Jones and Josie
Rush. Of the five district winners,
only Rush qualified for the state

the 12 year old girls division.
In the state competition, a participant shoots 25 straight free
throws, and a five free throw
shootout is used for any ties.
Rush made 18 of 25 to win by one
shot. She is the first champion
from Philip since Shaun and Jeremy Kerns in the early 1990s.

runner-up position

Deb Smith photos

Lane Blasius, center, was presented with the Lynn Wagner Memorial Scholarship following the South Dakota State B
Wrestling Tournament. Lynns mother, right presented the
award.
Bringing home the runner-up
plaque, was made possible by a
great team effort from the Philip
Area grapplers.
With 11 of 14 weight classes represented, Philip placed four individuals in the championship
bracket, more than any other team.
State champion Parkston placed
two. They had wrestlers in all
weight classes but one that placed
from first to eighth. Its those numbers that gave them the championship spot.
Head coach Matt Donnelly said
Philip Area wrestlers put forth a
great effort, representing themselves very well. They upset several matches where they were the
underdogs, he said.
Lane Blasius won the championship spot for the 152 weight
class. Taking second were Jed
Brown, Rance Johnson and Chandlier Sudbeck. Placing third was
Logan Ammons. Placing fifth was
Nick Donnelly.
Ammons won the most pins
award for the second year in a row.
N.Donnelly, a freshmen, achieved
his 100th career win while at the
tournament. Blasius won the Lynn
Wagner Memorial Scholarship.
Fifty-six teams were represented
at the tournament. Team points
were: Parkston 158, Philip Area

by Del Bartels
The most recent activity sponsored by the Bad River Sportsmen
Club was the annual coyote calling contest fundraiser Saturday,
February 1.
Proceeds of this and other activities go to the clubs development
of a trap range addition to its current target range. Both ranges
will be open to all members,
which, according to the club, are
pretty much any safety-minded
sportsman in western South
Dakota.
The Bad River Sportsmans
Club has been newly reorganized.
The principal members are President Dane Nelson, Vice President
Rick Thorson, and Secretary-Treasurer Doug West. Its members are
enlisting peoples continued involvement and support in the
clubs goal of promoting the safety
and responsibility of youth in
their pursuit of the hunting, fishing and shooting sports tradition.
The club meets monthly. For more
information, contact any member.
An area three miles west of
Philip on the north side of Highway 14 has been used for decades
by local target shooters. That
shooting range was originally upgraded by the Bad River Sportmans Club in October of 2011. It
has been improved even further
since then.
The range has a backstop at 100
yards. Two concrete shooting tables have been erected on top of a
large concrete slab. Much of the
original work was done by Nels

Effective Monday, March 3, Wall

Clinic joined the Regional Health
family of health care providers.
The decision made by our
board, mayor and city council was
that the best fit for us was to further integrate Regional Health
into our community. They feel like
one of us. We are happy thrilled
they are interested in operating
our clinic, said Brett Blasius,
president of Wall Health Services,
Inc., during the recent Wall
Health Services, Inc., annual
meeting.
Regional Health has managed
Wall Clinic for 18 years and looks
forward to enhancing this longstanding partnership. The clinic
provides primary care, home
health, medical imaging, laboratory and electrocardiogram services to residents and those from
the surrounding area.
We are very excited and privileged to partner with the Wall

Clinic providers, staff and the

Wall community, said John
Pierce, chief executive officer of
Regional Health Physicians. We
look forward to working with the
existing health care providers in
continuing quality health care
services for people in these communities.
We have to appreciate so much
what Regional Health is doing for
us. We need their help and they
are willing to do that. We are very
appreciative, said Wall Mayor
Dave Hahn during the annual
meeting. He added, We should be
thankful for what we have and we
need to continue to support the
clinic.
The Wall location, now known
as Wall Regional Medical Clinic, is
open Monday through Thursday
from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and
Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m.

Blood drive is March 11

United Blood Services donors
now have the ability to complete
their donation interview online
the same day of their blood donation appointment.
With this new service, United
Blood Services can reduce the
length of interviews on-site at a
center or mobile drive to only essential follow up questions.
Donors can visit the United Blood
Services website, assess the interview and print out a barcoded fast
track donation ticket that they
must being with them to their appointment.
United Blood Services encourages donors to give the online
health history questionnaire a try
for their next donation at the Bad
River Senior Citizen Centers upcoming blood drive on Tuesday,
March 11, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30
p.m. The drive is being sponsored
by the American Legion Auxiliary.
To set up an appointment, phone
Joann Pearson at 869-2219 or go
to www.bloodhero.com and enter
the code Philip.
Whenever we survey donors
about how we can make their experience better, they usually say

that the interview process should

be simplified, shortened or automated, said Jennifer Bredahl, regional donor recruitment director
for United Blood Services. We
took these suggestions to heart
and now are happy to provide this
new, shortened interview process
for our dedicated donors.
Instructions can be found online
at www.UnitedBloodServices.org
and by clicking the health history
questionnaire link on the left. Answers cannot be saved, so donors
must complete the 10- to 15minute interview in one sitting.
Donor data is stored only in the
barcoded fast track donation
ticket that a donor will print following the interview, so a login is
not required.
People who are 16 or older,
weight at least 110 pounds and
are in good health are eligible to
donate blood. Additional height
and weight requirements apply to
donors 22 and younger, and
donors who are 16 must have
signed permission from a parent
or guardian.

E-cigarettes same
as tobacco in S.D.
by Elizabeth Sam Grosz
Community News Service
It is up to the South Dakota
House members now to decide the
status of electronic cigarettes, as
the S.D. Senate overwhelmingly
said last week it should be treated
as a tobacco product.
Both the Senate State Affairs
Committee and the full Senate
overwhelmingly supported the addition of e-cigarettes to the list of
tobacco products banned to mi-

nors. An e-cigarette is a batterypowered device that creates a

vapor that users inhale, much as
they would a traditional cigarette,
to obtain nicotine without the
smoke.
Sen. Dan Lederman, R-Dakota
Dunes, said almost every year the
use of e-cigarettes has doubled
since their inception in 2006, and
now is a $1.4 billion per year industry. South Dakota law currently is not clear, he said, on how
this product can be sold, but I
think we can all agree e-cigarettes
are an adult product, and we need
to make it very clear that these
products should not sold to children.
He said that 10 percent of high
school students have used the devices, according to an American
Cancer Society report. The vapor
also can be flavored like fruit and
candy, he said, which also adds to
their appeal to youngsters.
SB181 as amended, said Lederman, applies the regulations concerning tobacco product distribution and sale to e-cigarettes and
vapor products.
Shawn Lyons, South Dakota Association of Retailers, noted that
many retailers say they already
keep this item behind the counter,
but would appreciate clarification
in the law.
Support for the legislation was
expressed by the retailers, as well
as numerous health organizations, including the American
Cancer Society.
The bill passed the Senate committee 8-1, and the Senate the following day 3-4. It was sent to the
House Health and Human Services Committee to start the journey through the House.

by Elizabeth Sam Grosz

Community News Service
Heres a brief review of some of
the South Dakota legislatures recent action, as of Friday, February
28.
The Teach for America funding
bill, SB127, met defeat in the Senate. It needed a two-thirds affirmative vote because of the
funding, and received a 17-17
vote. While Senator Phyllis Heineman, R-Sioux Falls, urged passage
to continue the states investment
to help Native American students
achieve academic success, those
against the funding cited Teach
for Americas vast resources from
donors nationally. The states
$350,000 donation could be better
spent in traditional kindergarten
through 12th grade education
funding.
The controversial bill to solve
fishing and hunting rights on nonmeandered waters over private
land in the state ended for this
year by being tabled in the Senate
on a 31-3 vote. All involved parties should be on notice, said Sen.
Tim Rave, R-Baltic, who had
served on an interim study committee on the topic, that the
process of finding a solution would
continue. The full resolution to the
problem had not been found on
this issue, Rave said.
Numerous lawmakers will retire at the end of this session, due
to an eight-year, or four-term,
limit set by law on holding the legislative seat. Some lawmakers
have successfully served longer by
changing the house in which they
serve, with the approval of voters.
Loss of institutional knowledge is
cited as a reason against having
term limits.
A bill remains alive for rebuilding a stretch of rail line from
Chamberlain west to Presho, but
the decision on whether it will be
$6 million or somewhat less wont
be made until the final days of the
legislature. That is when budget
figures are squeezed into place on
numerous funding bills.
Both the House and the Senate
have approved a ban on texting
while driving a motor vehicle.
However, with differences between the bills passed by each
body, the final bill will have to
have those differences hammered
out by a conference committee.
Both versions make texting while
driving a secondary offense, which
means it is not an offense which a
law enforcement officer can use to
stop a vehicle.
HB1158, a bill to provide funding for certain unborn children,
passed the House and then has
been referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee, with a hearing set for this week. Fear that
passage of the bill will encourage
pregnant illegal aliens to settle in
the state has prompted some lawmakers to resist the help that
would be given indigent women,
despite health benefits to unborn
babies.
An attempt to force HB1183, a
repeal of the states death penalty,
to the House floor from the State
Affairs Committee, called a
smoke out, failed. The bill, said
Rep. David Lust, R-Rapid City,
had a lengthy hearing in committee and he opposed giving it more
time on the House floor.
Additional funding for the
states four tech schools was
stripped by the House to two dollars and sent to the Senate. This
is seen as a holding measure for
the insertion of money in the final
days of the legislature when it is
known how much budget money is
available. The bill started with $4
million.
The effort to stop Common Core,
the testing program for kindergarten-12 schools, failed to receive
support on various bills, ending
the battle. However, Rep. Jim
Bolin, R-Canton, one of the more
vocal legislators speaking against
the testing program, agreed with
one measure that would prohibit
the state board from adopting any
such standards until July 2016.
That bill, sponsored by Sen. Ernie
Otten, R-Tea, is headed for the
House floor.
Money that has been overbudgeted for FY2014 was voted by
both houses to revert to reserves,
according to Rep. Susan Wismer,
D-Britton, in protesting the bills
passage. For the third year in a
row, she said, money was being diverted except where it should go:
to higher education and Medicaid
providers.

Virtual hiking in Badlands

Badlands National Park has release its virtual WebRangers
iHike.
The Badlands iHike challenges
people of all ages to get outdoors,
get active and get moving. The
project supports the global
Healthy Parks, Healthy People
initiative which aims to harness
the power of public parks to support healthier lifestyles for all.
To participate in the program,
hikers must record the number of
real life steps they take each day.
When they sign into the site, participants enter their stats to see
how far their steps would take
them on the Saddle Pass, Castle,
and Medicine Root Trails.
Each virtual stop includes scenic photos from the trail and also
presents information about the
history and resources of Badlands.
The iHike is a fun learning opportunity that opens hikers eyes to
the beauty and variety of Amer-

icas public lands while encouraging healthy exercise habits.

Since 2007, Badlands has
demonstrated a commitment to
the health and physical fitness of
South Dakota school children with
our Walk the Badlands classroom
program, said park superintendent Eric Brunnemann. Were excited to take the program online so
that more kids, and kids-at-heart,
can virtually come to the park, regardless of where they live.
For children, regular exercise in
nature is proven to improve physical and mental health. Outdoor
activity helps kids maintain a
healthy weight, boosts their immunity and bone health, and lowers stress.
Lets Move Outside, administered by the Department of Interior, was created to get kids and
families to take advantage of
Americas great outdoors in every
city, town and community. To-

gether, the DOI agencies oversee

more than one-fifth of the nations
land including millions of acres
of national forests, parks and
trails.
Children need at least 60 minutes of active and vigorous play
each day to stay healthy, and one
of the easiest and most enjoyable
ways to meet this goal is by playing outside. By linking parents to
nearby parks, trails and waters
and providing tips and ideas
Lets Move Outside can help families develop a more active lifestyle.
Badlands is one of five national
park sites to produce an iHike.
Participants may also take virtual
hikes in Acadia, Glacier, the National Mall, or along the Star
Spangled Banner National Historic Trail. WebRangers iHike is
made possible through support
from the National Park Foundation.

Townships push for tax to

maintain roads, bridges
by Elizabeth Sam Grosz
Community News Service
Townships are in the process of
a second attempt to receive permission to levy a capital improvement property tax for roads,
bridges and culverts.
While a thorough hearing was
held February 24 in committee,
the perceived need for an amendment to provide better public notice of the intent to impose the tax
stopped the bills passage until
that amendment could be crafted.
The hearing was expected this
week.
Representative Burt Tulson, RLake Norden, told the Senate Taxation Committee that HB1140
was a straightforward bill, with
an added feature from last years
attempt. Township boards may,
decided by two-thirds vote at its
annual meeting, to levy such a
tax. If two-thirds of those present
agree, they can enact this mil levy.
This is our most grassroots
form of government, Tulson said
of townships. Tulson was supported by Rep. Tona Rozum, RMitchell; Rep. Scott Parsley,
D-Madison, and Dick Howard,
South Dakota Association of
Towns and Townships, during the
hearing.
The lack of good roads hinders
economic development, Tulson
said, noting that many times
dairies are located on township
roads and heavy trucks chew up
those roads. It costs up to $7,000
to gravel one mile of road, he said,
and each organized township has
35 to 40 miles of roads to maintain.
Townships, said Tulson, are

very conservative. They wont be

putting a tax on themselves if it is
not needed, he said, emphasizing
this is a local control issue.
Rozum said the majority of the
calls she gets are from ag people
concerning township roads.
Townships really struggle to
take care of roads, especially with
all of the damage seen recently
from flooding, said Parsley.
Howard noted that the membership of the SDATT voted to support this legislation. The bill, he
noted, was amended in the House
so that instead of just the board
voting to impose the tax, it would
be two-thirds of those present at
the annual meeting.
Under current law, he said,
townships are limited to three dollars per thousand, and statewide
most of them are at 81 cents per
thousand.
I like to say that townships
were caught with their levies
down, said Howard of the freeze
on taxation that occurred some
years ago.
Townships do opt out, he said,
and of the 915 opt outs between
2001 and 2013 statewide, 514 are
from townships. However, Howard
said, with 56 percent of the total
opt outs from townships totaling
$6.7 million, the other 401 from
other taxing entities have been for
larger amounts, totaling $125 million. This reiterates the conservatism of townships.
The main purpose of an opt out,
he said, was to increase revenues
and give people a chance to vote,
but with this bill there would be
less red tape than from an opt out.
The recent two phase increase

in license plate fees, said Howard,

has resulted in an additional $31
million, with townships getting 17
percent, or $5.1 million.
Townships, he said, have 31,000
miles of road, plus secondary
roads maintained by counties at
12,000 miles, for a resulting
43,000 miles. Howard said with
those license plate revenues,
townships receive on average
enough to gravel one mile of the
average 35 miles they have.
This, he said, is a case where
one size doesnt fit all.
The state Department of Revenue opposed the bill, with Mike
Houdyshell saying he did not deny
there was a need for townships,
but I ask you to preserve the way
they have (to increase that
amount) that is already in
statute.
Houdyshell said current township notices of annual meetings
dont say a tax may be raised, but
opt-out notices state the dollar
amount and the intent in bold lettering. This, he said, makes it absolutely clear what is going to
happen.
Tulson suggested that the committee pass the bill out to the Senate floor where it could be
amended to include such language
in township notices. However, the
committee decided to hold the bill
over and make that amendment
themselves.
While the intent had been to
have the amendment ready by
Wednesdays committee meeting,
it was not. Committee chair Sen.
Ernie Otten said the matter instead would be taken up by the
committee on Monday, March 3.

across the lake and Ken and Bill
enjoyed looking at a wonderful collection of old cars. We had supper
out and enjoyed cards. Minnesota
neighbors in the RV park had
gone to the Sky Walk over the
Grand Canyon and highly recommended it. Nobody in our group
seemed interested in that walk! It
extends 70 feet out over the Grand
Canyon and is see through. If you
have Internet access, look up Lake
Havasu, it is very interesting
reading too.
Friday, we broke camp and were
on the road toward Albuquerque.
We made a stop along Route 66 in
Williams, Ariz., and had coffee
and a roll in a little historic caf,
then on down the road to Grand,
N.M. where we spent the last
night of travel together, enjoying
supper out and cards in the
evening. Ken told Bill he didnt
need to come to Chattanooga,
Tenn., if he was really all that
homesick.
George Gittings did business in
Philip Thursday
Meanwhile in Kadoka, February 28, Tony Harty sat in on the
land sale of Bill Weller and Carrie
Wellers place. It was a blustery,
cold and snowy day, but that
didnt cool off the bidding any. The
auction was held in Club 27 with
a good crowd of folks on hand for
the bidding. When the dust settled, 2,660 acres brought the tidy
sum of $3,766,000 and change
after seven rounds of bidding, the
land went by the tract rather than
to a single bidder.
Saturday morning, Bill and I
went toward Albuquerque and
Ken and Lynn went toward El
Paso. Again, the weather was dictating our travel plans. Bill and I
got propane and found an RV park
in the Sandia Mountains. We vis-

ited at the home of Leah Fairchild.

She was just getting settled after
a move from Missouri the end of
the year. She fixed lunch for us
and came by our place for a visit.
Bill hadnt been feeling the best
and by the time Leah came by,
blood pressure was super high, so
Bill and I went to the heart hospital in Albuquerque that Misty
Fairchild worked at. The emergency room experience was efficient and Bill was admitted for
observation overnight.
Cathy Fiedler reported another
cold morning, it never got above
zero Saturday and Sunday.
Everything in Sturgis is white
again with five inches of snow Saturday. Not much for news, Ralph
had extra days this week and
Cathy has been sick with a sinus
infection, so they havent done
anything significant.
Sunday afternoon after tests,
Bill was dismissed from the hospital and we settled in at the RV. All
the tests didnt show anything significant going on, that was good
news. But no real reason for the
problem with blood pressure and
chest tightness.
Tony Harty reported that it was
-14 Sunday morning in Kadoka,
but did warm up to 0. He missed
church, but did manage to start
his van later in the day. He visited
with Kathy Brown and Dale
Koehn about the wrestling tournament.
George Gittings attended the
Sacred Heart Catholic Church
dinner in Philip Sunday. Wade
McGruder and Jessica Gittings
were his guests and they brought
dinner home to Sandee. Wade and
Jessica spent the rest of the day
with George and Sandee.
We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited
in darkness. Daisies

(continued from 7)
glasses. Dorothy said they can now
see a whole lot better! Dorothy also
said there was no church at Deep
Creek Sunday. Dorothy is one of the
neighbors that is certainly looking
forward to warmer weather later
this week!
Clark and Carmen Alleman were
in Philip Tuesday to attend the
Deep Creek Angus bull sale. They
had dental appointments in Rapid
City Thursday. Friday was spent
doing some tax work, and Saturday
Carmen attended a get acquainted
party for grandson William. The
party was held at Grandma Joy
Yost's home in Hayes. Even though
the weather was not the best, there
was a good crowd of brave women
who attended the party. It was a
nice chance to meet baby William,
and also an excellent opportunity to
visit! Carmen also mentioned that
she is very thankful for the technology that allows grandpas and
grandmas to keep track of their
grandchildren's sporting events.
She was thinking specifically of
granddaughter Morgan's state
swim meet in Spearfish last weekend. Evidently there is a phone app
that keeps you posted on events
and placings right as they happen.
Morgan had a very successful
weekend, earning five individual
medals and two team relay event
medals. The Pierre swim team
placed first out of 18 teams participating congratulations to them!
Gene Hudson said it has been too
cold to do much of anything except
the necessary chores, so they
haven't made any news. She and
Dick did have Lee and Mary Briggs
as supper guests on Wednesday.
Billy and Arlyne have been sticking close to home in this cold
weather also. Arlyne rode with Jeanine Gabriel to Hayes Saturday to
attend the baby shower for young
William Alleman. Other than that,
they have been staying home and
staying warm. Arlyne said she was
up in the middle of the night Saturday night, and their thermometer
said -28. Brrrrr!
Frank and Shirley Halligan and
Don and Dodie Garrity traveled to
Wall Friday to attend a basketball
game. They had supper in Wall.
Saturday, Shirley went to Hayes to
attend the baby shower for William
Alleman.
Bill and Polly Bruce were in Ft.
Pierre February 22 to attend a bull
sale. While there, they found out
that Polly's sister, Winnie Berge-

son, was in the hospital in Pierre,

so they visited her there. Winnie is
now home and doing well. While
they were visiting Winnie, they
found out that their son, David
Bruce, was hospitalized in Rapid
City with spinal meningitis. Bill
and Polly went to Rapid City Saturday and spent several days. David
is improving, but he has been very
sick, and he remains in the hospital
at this time. Before returning to the
ranch Tuesday, Bill and Polly visited Bill's sister, Betty, at Golden
Living in Rapid City. Bill and Polly
stayed home this past weekend,
staying warm.
Randy and I have had a whirlwind week. Tuesday, Randy and
Chauncey Jorgenson attended the
bull sale in Philip, and they helped
haul bulls back home for T.J.
Gabriel after the sale. Thursday afternoon, Randy and I went to
Salem and spent the night with our
daughter, Jennifer, and son-in-law,
Ross Tschetter. We got a tour of the
home they are renovating at their
farm. It is quite the project, and it
will be beautiful when it is completed! Friday morning, we boarded
a plane in Sioux Falls and went to
Tampa, Fla., to visit our daughter,
Chelsea, and her husband, Mike
Hoy. I felt a little guilty, basking in
the warm sunshine while this area
was in the deep freeze. We had
never been to Florida before, so it
was fun to see the beaches, ships,
etc. We also got to tour the base
where Mike is stationed. There is a
lot of traffic in that area that
would take some getting used to!
Sunday, we attended a preseason
baseball game, and it was wonderful! It was almost too hot, sitting in
that Florida sun! We used sunblock,
but even so, we came home with a
little sunburn. We flew home Monday morning, arriving in Sioux
Falls to a temperature of zero and
snow blowing across the road it
almost made me want to turn
around and head back to Florida!
We arrived back at the ranch late
Monday afternoon.
(I also heard that Kim (Markwed) and Jeff Marso were in
Florida this past weekend, as were
Sarah Neuhauser and her friend,
Eric. It is a popular destination this
time of year!)
Today, I am grateful for
Chauncey Jorgenson. He works for
us here at Neuhauser ranch, and
we really appreciate him. It is so
nice to have someone here that you
have confidence in you know
things will be done right. I'm sorry
he had to shoulder the load with
such terrible cold weather, but he
managed just fine. And now we are
back, just in time for the heifers to
start calving. We probably won't be
going much of anywhere for a
while!
By the time you receive this
newspaper, our temperatures
should be much warmer than they
are now. Hopefully this past weekend will be our last cold blast of the
season, and we can start moderating toward springtime weather!

March 6, 2014 Pioneer Review

Grindstone News|Mary Eide 859-2188

Another week of that cold
weather and the wind made the
chill factor almost unbearable. I
can remember having cold
weather in prior years, but I dont
think the wind blew that much. If
it did, I must have been a lot
tougher as it seemed a lot worse
this winter. If sounds like it will
start to warm up starting Tuesday, March 4. I sure do hope so, as
I was dreading going out in the
cold Tuesday evening as the
United Church ladies are serving
the Farmers Union supper. I have
baking buns and had to make two
batches before I got some good
ones. I dont bake bread a lot as I
am alone and dont eat a lot of
bread. I took them out of the oven
a little while ago and they are
okay. So that task is done.
My sister-in-law, Irene Smith,
Bobs wife, called from Methuen,
Mass., Monday, March 3. She said
that she is now 85 years old. She
was from Germany and Bob married her when he was in the service during World War II. Many of
you may remember her when they
lived in Quinn and she worked at
the hospital in the x-ray department for Dr. Hvam. They had five
girls who all live in Massachusetts. They lost one of the girls a
couple of years ago. Irenes sister
and brother and their mother
came to America later. Her
brother now lives in Massachusetts too. She and her family are
close and do a wonderful job of
caring to her needs. She also said
that this has been a terrible winter there with lots and lots of deep
snow. They are not far from
Boston and according to the TV
and radio weather reports, they
are having a bad winter.
Marvin Eide has an interest in
tracing his dad, Kenneths, family
history. He found himself in Norway in a town called Eide and is
very fascinated with the whole
project. I was not able to tell him
much as there was not much history to be found around here about
Kenneths dad. Marvin was going
to call Mike Melvin in Sioux Falls
as we thought he was also trying
to find some family history. Now if
you are not willing to accept all
the bad as well as the good, you
shouldnt start looking up the history of your ancestors!
Now, my family history on both
moms and dads side are all originally from America and were born
before records were kept. We did
find out that moms dad was from
North Carolina and his great,
great-grandmother was half
African and dads great, greatgrandma was Native American of
the Cherokee tribe, so both married into the other races that were
here. It seems all the rest of their
nationality is not known as there
are no records of them. They just
seem to have been Americans for
a long time back prior to record
keeping. Thats okay, as we are

who we are and what we grow up

to be is the best we can be and
that is what is most important.
The Kieth Smiths always like to
go prior to calving and spend some
time with each of their kids. February 21, 22 and 23, they visited
their daughter, Chancie and
Aaron Baenen and enjoyed some
snowmobiling in the Black Hills.
Saturday night, they took Aaron,
Chancie and Colby and her friend,
Cody, out for supper. Sunday, they
all went to Spearfish to view
Colbys photo display. Thursday,
February 15 and 16, they went to
Harrisburg, near Sioux Falls, to
visit Cassidy and Luke Ayotte and
family. They enjoyed the Stampede hockey game in Sioux Falls
while there.
Thursday, February 27, they
headed to Ipswich to the wrestling
tournament. Lincoln and Ella also
went.
February 19, Tucker and Jess,
Lincoln and Ella all enjoyed supper out together.
Last month, Tucker, Lincoln
and Kieth all took their turn at
serving the breakfast the Masons
put on at the senior center.
I didnt find anyone home at
Herb and Hazel Sielers when I
called, so dont know what they
have been doing.
Julie Nixon has been feeling ill
the last couple weeks and was
feeling so tough she finally went
to the doctor. So they have been
just staying close to home, cancelling everything till she is feeling better. She did report that
their daughter, Mandie, is slow in
getting her hands healed so she is
able to use them. She said that
her right hand was broken the
worst and it would be a long time
healing. We do wish her the best
in getting back to having the normal use of her hands again.
Debbie Clements had knee surgery this last week, so her mom,
Donna Newman, has spent time
helping out as needed.
Warren and Shirley Sweezy attended the play at Milesville and
enjoyed visiting with others there.
They are planning to attend the
Hayes play also, which is this
coming week. They both really
like the home-talent plays in this
area, Donna said.
I heard from my cousin, James
Slater, Arizona. he sent me a DVD
of history on my granddad on my
moms side of the family. My mom
grew up in the Elm Springs area.
She was the daughter of Webster
and Edith Hicks. James grandmother, Marie Slater, was my
moms sister.
News is short again this week
and many were not home. I am
sure they are away from home
taking advantage of the nicer
weather this week. Im sure they
were tired of being cooped up and
ventured out.
A lost translation: I recently told
the fourth graders I teach that it
was once an everyday thing for
people to write letters, to communicate across long distances. One
student asked, Didnt you have
phones back then? I said yes,
thinking Id need to explain the
expense of long distance calls. But
before I could, he asked, Then
why didnt you just text? Betty
Cordell, Fort Smith, Ark.
Now thats service: A grasshopper hopped into a bar and sat
down. The bartender said, Hey
we have a drink named after you.
The grasshopper looked shocked.
Really, he said. You have a
drink named Murray?

Drought information program

United States Senators John
Thune (R-SD), Mark Pryor (D-AR),
Tom Udall (D-NM), and Mark
Udall (D-CO) applauded the passage of their legislation reauthorizing the National Integrated
Drought Information System
(NIDIS), which provides drought
information to farmers, ranchers
and other industries affected by
weather conditions.
The bill, also sponsored by Senators Jerry Moran (R-KS), now
heads to the president for his signature.
Droughts create tremendous
uncertainty and financial losses for
farmers and ranchers who depend
on tools like NIDIS, said Thune. I
am pleased that this legislation has
cleared both chambers and I urge
President Obama to sign the bill.
As a member of the agriculture
committee and the ranking member of the Senate commerce committee that has jurisdiction over
this program, I know the improvements we made to this program
will provide better information to
agriculture producers as well as
businesses and local governments

fought in Congress to improve our

ability to forecast and monitor
droughts and strengthen programs
that help farmers coping with
drought," M. Udall said. "This bipartisan legislation, which I championed,
will
ensure
the
Boulder-based National Integrated
Drought Information System has
the resources it needs to protect
our way of life in the West and keep
Colorado and the nation's job-creating agricultural economy thriving."
Since the NIDIS Act was signed
into law in 2006, government agencies have worked to develop a longterm plan for drought prevention,
research and education. This bill
extends this program for five years
and supports an interactive early
warning system of timely and accurate drought information, as well
an integrated weather monitoring
and forecasting system. The National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of
2013 is the companion bill to the
Drought Information Act, which
the senators introduced in February 2013.

that experience the effects of

drought conditions.
For years now, Arkansas has
been dealing with the devastating
effects of drought and severe
weather conditions, Pryor said.
Our bipartisan bill gives our farmers, ranchers and local communities the tools and information they
need to manage resources, protect
crops and livestock, and prevent
economic losses. The passage of
this bill is yet another win for
Arkansass agricultural industry.
"This bill is vital for New Mexico
farmers, ranchers and communities dealing with the sixth consecutive drier-than-average year, T.
Udall said. "Information from the
NIDIS helps farmers and ranchers
prevent livestock losses and determine how to protect their crops,
and that's critical to sustain our
agricultural economy. I'm going to
continue to fight for resources and
information that will help New
Mexicans adapt and respond to
water scarcity."
"The recent severe drought has
staggered Colorado's farmers and
ranchers. It's the reason I have

Haakon-Jackson County USDA

Farm Service would like to remind
producers of the approaching
deadline for purchasing Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance
Program (NAP) coverage for 2014
crops that are planted annually
and used for livestock feed or fodder.
Eligible producers can apply for
2014 NAP coverage at the
Haakon-Jackson County FSA Office using form CCC-471, Application for Coverage. Producers must
file the application and service fee
by the March 15, 2014 deadline.
The service fee is the lesser of
$250 per crop or $750 per producer per administrative county,
not to exceed a total of $1,875 for
a producer with farming interests
in multiple counties.
The Risk Management Agency
(FSA) recently announced a pilot
program that offers a CAT level
Rainfall Index-Annual Forage Insurance Plan to producers in

Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North

Dakota, Oklahoma and South
Dakota.
Because there is limited time
for producers in these states to
transition from NAP to the new
RMA pilot program, an exception
was made that will allow the
states to continue offering NAP
coverage for 2014. However, NAP
coverage will not be available for
2015 annual forage crops.
Producers who meet the definition of a limited resource farmer
or rancher can request a waiver of
the service fee.
NAP provides financial assistance to producers of noninsurable
crops when low yields, loss of inventory or prevented planting
occur due to normal disasters.
For more information about
NAP, please contact the HaakonJackson County FSA office at 605
859 2186 ext. 2 or visit www.
fsa.usda.gov.
