An unidentified driver jumped the curb and drove through the fence at the Wee-
Won Daycare on W. Pine Street in Philip. Owner Erin Fitzgerald discovered the
damage when she arrived for work Monday morning. The vehicle stopped just
prior to hitting the larger play structure. The pine tree in front of the building was
also clipped on its east side. It is believed the accident happened Monday morn-
ing. The Philip Police Department is investigating the accident.

The Haakon School District 27-1
Board of Education has approved
all certified and classified contracts
for the 2013-2014 school year,
based on the fiscal year 2012-2013
negotiated agreement. All con-
tracts have been turned in. Now
the salaries will be negotiated.
Administrative salaries were an-
nounced after an executive session.
Superintendent Keven Morehart,
Secondary Principal Mike Baer
and Business Manager Britni Ross
will receive a three percent raise
the first year and a two percent
raise the second year. This is the
same as the negotiated contracts.
Also, the athletic directors position
and the special education directors
position will each receive a $500
raise in each of the next two years.
Only one resignation, a partial
one, had to be addressed by the
board. Baer is stepping down as
head basketball coach so he can
spend more time with his growing
family. His time is tight, said
Morehart. I think in the long run
he has made the right decision.
Family comes first. The board ac-
cepted, with regret, Baers resigna-
tion from the extra curricular activ-
ity.
Summer school teachers will
again be Barb Bowen and Mary-
Lynn Crary. Melanie Morehart
was hired for extended school year
special education services. Summer
help for school grounds mainte-
nance will be students Seth Haigh,
Paul Guptill and Brian Pfeifle. The
first two have already started
work, and Pfeifle will start when he
returns from American Legions
Boys State.
Ross discussed a very prelimi-
nary budget for 2013-2014. We
dont have concrete figures on the
federal revenue, began Ross. Ac-
cording to state permission to all
districts, the Haakon District will
move more items such as electric-
ity, bus fuel and propane from com-
ing out of the general fund to com-
ing out of capital outlay. Still, the
projected budget will cut over
$81,000 into reserves. Board mem-
ber Doug Thorson stated, If we are
only $100,000 over (in the general
fund), then we are doing a whole
lot better than some other places.
Bills payable May 20 totaled over
$55,716. This total includes claims
from the general fund, capital out-
lay, special education and food
service. Reimbursements for such
items as drug testing for new em-
ployees, track fees and vocal festi-
vals totaled over $1,013. Cost for
substitutes for the month of April
came to over $2,047 for an equiva-
lent of 30 school days. Hourly
wages for the month were over
$24,706 for 2,266.17 hours worked.
The board passed a five year cap-
ital outlay plan. It addresses set-
ting aside funds for the rotation of
computer replacement. It includes
saving $15,000 per year toward a
future bus replacement. It also in-
cludes a wish list that may or may
not be financially possible.
A mutual agreement with the
city of Philip to maintain the Me-
morial Field has expired. With no
changes made, the board approved
continuing the agreement another
five years.
A second reading of changes in
the alternative learning program
was held. Basically, if a student
who needs credit recovery because
of a failed class does not complete
the requirements and does the
work then that student/family is
responsible for the cost of the stu-
dent being in the program.
Morehart stated that he has not
seen a Philip High School student
fail because that student wasnt
able. It was because they did not do
or did not turn in their homework.
Baer said that it is the same hand-
ful of kids. We have decided that
we will put them in a classroom
every chance we get, said Baer.
Board member Mark Nelson stated
that, by high school, putting a seed
of determination in a kid is often
too late.
National ACT data states that,
of students who take the ACT, 21
percent take a remedial course in
college. The board felt that Philip
High School graduates were not
necessarily part of this statistic.
Thorson said, Because of the
scholarships we offer, many of our
kids take the ACT. Philip does
have the extremes of exemplary
students and those who struggle.
In his secondary principals report,
Baer noted that of 26 seniors who
were at graduation, three had to
put in more work to get their diplo-
mas signed. One is finished, an-
other is basically doing well and
the third well see, said Baer. The
school body may grow next year,
with six to eight students transfer-
ring from surrounding communi-
ties. In recent pilot program bench-
mark testing, Haakon School Dis-
trict is above state averages in
math and English.
One school goal concerns home-
work. Baer said, I think we are on
a concensus to not accept late
homework next year. In a survey
of seniors, most said they had one
to two hours of homework per
night. A homework after school
program resulted in some kids
earning their way out of the pro-
gram, though some repeat offend-
ers just did not get their homework
in. If you use your class time, your
homework goes down a lot, said
Baer.
The age of the geothermal well is
a concern. There is no safety shut
off on the well. The regular valve is
leaking, running many gallons a
minute with the valve completely
shut. Plans are being discussed to
put in two more shut off valves on
the six inch pipe to extend the life
of the equipment.
The next scheduled board of ed-
ucation meeting will be at 7:00
p.m., Monday, June 17, in room A-
1 of the Philip High School.

The Philip Chamber of Com-
merce meeting, Thursday, May 16,
was used for finalizing many de-
tails for the annual Scotty Philip
Day, this year June 14-16.
The chamber is building on what
went over well last year, encour-
aged that the events reputation for
a good time has spread year upon
year. For example, the street
dance, again free to all, will feature
Crash Wagon, a band even more
popular than last years. The band
hasnt even been here and theyre
excited! They are jacked, ex-
claimed chamber president Brit
Miller.
Setup of five sets of trans-
portable bleachers will be com-
pleted well before the crowd begins
arriving for the free burger feed at
4:30 p.m. Friday. The aluminum
bleachers rented from Rapid City
were a boon for activities through-
out the weekend last year. Cham-
ber members agreed that now not
having them would be going back-
ward. The stands will first help
matched bronc fans get as close as
possible to the arena paneling.
Then, some bleachers will be
moved to the horse races Saturday
afternoon and some will be placed
around the demolition derby for
Saturday evening.
It was reported that the same se-
curity team used last year is look-
ing forward to again taking tickets
at the bronc ride once it starts and
to keep the dance as fun and safe
as it should be.
The Philip Volunteer Fire De-
partments demolition derby was
spectacular last year, said chamber
treasurer Matt Reedy, It was a
hoot. He expects this derby to be
at least as good or even better.
Also, the horse races are antici-
pated to have more participants
and more audience than last year.
Everyone who wants to challenge
their horses take off power and
speed is encouraged to compete.
For spectators, the races will again
be free of charge.
Water fights sponsored by the
PVFD, blow up games sponsored
by the Haakon County Young
Women, meals sponsored by vari-
ous organizations, a 5K run/walk,
the ever growing golf tournament
all are popular returning aspects of
Scotty Philip Days.
The current list of family based
activities during the weekend is
listed inside this issue. Clubs, or-
ganizations and businesses from
Philip and surrounding communi-
ties are encouraged to make their
suggestions and add to that list
their booths and activities. Espe-
cially encouraged to be involved are
ranches and farm spreads.
The one items of concern is the
need for volunteers for cleanup
duty. The roping arena after the
matched bronc ride and Center Av-
enue the morning after the dance
require volunteer labor to spread
the effort so everyone has energy to
enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Some details are still developing.
Anyone may request permission to
set up a booth. According to Miller,
in that sense the weekend is a
fluid, unorganized activity. Public
transportation, such as horse
drawn wagons or ATV drawn trail-
ers, are also open ideas. Parade
participants are encouraged to not
wait to contact the chamber. Still,
Itll all fall into place, said Reedy.
Scotty Philip Days plans being finalized
There will be two ceremonies
held at Black Hills National Ceme-
terys Committal Shelter, south of
Sturgis, to memorialize all of our
nations departed veterans and mil-
itary members.
Visitors may visit and place flow-
ers on graves of their loved ones all
weekend long.
Our theme is Our Fallen, Our
Heros, Our Freedom. Please join
us for these services as our veter-
ans stand beside each other re-
membering their fallen comrades.
The Oglala Sioux Tribe and the
American Legion, Department of
South Dakota, will be the hosts of
the Memorial Day Services. The
Native American Memorial Day
Ceremony will be held at 9:00 a.m.,
sponsored by Oglala Sioux Tribe.
Guest speakers will be Bryan
Brewer (president, OST), Chuck
Conroy (president, OST Veterans
Board), and Wilmer Nesteth. Tra-
ditional Lakota drummers will also
perform during the ceremony.
The traditional Memorial Day
ceremony, sponsored by the Amer-
ican Legion, Department of South
Dakota, will be held at 11:00 a.m.
Guest speakers will be Verle Whip-
ple, S.D. American Legion Vice
Commander District 1 and 2, and
Greg Hall, 40 and 8 Chef de Gare
Grand du South Dakota.
The Haakon County Crooners
will perform the national anthem
and provide a musical tribute.
The public may bring lawn
chairs or blankets, or guests may
sit on the bleachers. Come early
and attend the ceremonies. For
more information, call 605-347-
3830.
Memorial Day is a federal holi-
day observed on the last Monday of
May. Formerly known as Decora-
tion Day, it commemorates U.S.
soldiers who died while in the mil-
itary service.
Many Americans observe the day
by visiting cemeteries and memori-
als. A national moment of remem-
brance takes place at 3:00 p.m.
local time.

Lookin Around by Syd Iwan
If you want some rain, all you
have to do is schedule a branding.
Thats what we did, and it worked
a treat. The same storm, of course,
lifted the roof off the shed at the
river place, tossed it over north to-
wards the river and damaged a
tractor in the process. This wasnt
so great, but the rain was wel-
comed. At least the strong wind
didnt hurt Ted or damage his
nearby house.
The main problem with all this
is having to reschedule branding.
We had the help lined up, the fire-
wood, vaccine, food for the crew
and other supplies all ready to go,
and now we have to fall back and
regroup. The firewood isnt going
anywhere. It just has to dry out.
The crew can be harder to resched-
ule since there are lots of brand-
ings at this time of year which
makes it tricky to find enough
available guys on any given date.
Some of the food can be frozen and
hauled out again later, but you
cant keep potato salad very long or
refreeze thawed beef roasts.
Nevertheless, getting some mois-
ture was worth a lot. We were
starting to fuss about the lack
thereof. A few ranchers were even
selling some of their cattle due to a
shortage of feed caused by getting
little hay last year and not having
much of anything growing yet this
year. We did have a heavy snow re-
cently, but that never brings much
growth on the prairie until we get
a good rain. Now, perhaps we are
getting somewhere.
Thanks to a long dry spell not
that long ago, we do have the capa-
bility of pumping water from wells
to tanks in various pastures. This
cost a pretty penny, as you might
imagine, but it got us through. We
can use those systems again if ab-
solutely necessary, but they dont
do much good if there isnt any
grass. Critters seem to need both
feed and water.
In this area where the annual
rainfall only averages about eight-
een inches or so, we are never all
that far from drought. It worries us
somewhat from time to time. We
dont expect lush pastures, but we
do require some growth to stay in
business. It was starting to get a
little scary again this spring until
just lately. Now we feel quite a bit
better despite having to postpone
our branding and replace the shed
roof.
Many areas of the world have
the opposite problem than we do.
They get so much constant rain
that the places turn into jungles.
Im not into jungles all that much
and actually love our somewhat
arid prairies. Its just when it gets
too arid here that I fuss and start
seriously applying myself to
prayer. I recall the summer I spent
in Georgia by the edge of a wooded
area (which includes most of Geor-
gia it seems.) When two other guys
and I moved in there for Navy sup-
ply school in March or April, I
thought, It will be fun to walk
around in the woods this summer.
Boy, was I wrong. When warmer
(much warmer) weather arrived
complete with almost daily rains,
the woods became a jungle. You
could barely walk through without
a machete. Not that you would
want to anyway since the hoards of
huge mosquitoes could practically
eat you up alive. Air conditioned
places proved to be more enjoyable
than overgrown outdoor locations.
There was also that place I vis-
ited in Hawaii where the average
rainfall was over an inch a day.
Can you imagine what that would
do here? Our little rivers would get
as big as the Missouri, and you
wouldnt be able to drive anywhere
that wasnt paved.
In this area, we think that it
takes about 20 to 25 acres to sup-
port one cow for a year. We are
used to that and think it com-
pletely normal. East of us just a lit-
tle, they need a lot fewer acres per
critter, but that just turns them
into wimps who dont know how to
deal with lots of land. It also means
many more people can live in the
area and still support themselves,
which is a decided disadvantage as
far as Im concerned. Give me the
wide open unpopulated areas, and
Im happy as a clam.
Incidentally, the one prairie res-
ident that might not be too happy
with the recent rainfall would be
the yucca plants of which we have
more that a few. Those things put
on their very best flower shows in
dry years so that may now be in
jeopardy. Theyll still flower but
maybe not with abandon.
Brandings, of course, can be
rescheduled. Ours is now set for
the last day of this month. All the
other dates between now and then
were pretty much already taken. It
might not rain again that day, or
maybe it will. If we get into June
too far, the calves might get so big
that well have to have really big,
strong wrestlers to hold them
down, but somehow well get by.
We always have in the past and
probably will in the future. The
nice rain was completely worth the
trouble. Thank you, Lord.

Perfect ... for them ... by Del Bartels
He inspected the polish, satisfied that the work on the dress shoes
was just right. Ancient memories of boot camp included his drill ser-
geant, whom he had hated and respected, and the late night polishings
for early morning inspection. The sergeant was gone now. Sitting on
the bed to put on his shoes, he recalled that the soldier assigned the
bunk above him back then had long ago been declared MIA.
The dark suit, unlike the mothballed uniform hanging on the back
of the door, actually fit. He had tried to get his old uniform tailered so
he could have worn it today, but he was now too thick in the waist, too
thin in the chest and he was growing shorter. A company mechanic,
nicknamed Shorty, had passed on years ago. As he looped the necktie
around, his memory felt the ghost of his dog tags. After one particular
mission, he turned in three sets of his comrades tags to the base com-
mand and filled out the mission report. You live it, then retell it in de-
tail, and try your life to forget it.
He picked up the program, folded it once and put in his inside jacket
pocket. Who cared about the speakers. This day wasnt theirs. The back
few pages, though, listed local men and women who did matter. While
looking at the name on the white cross in front of you, it is hard to re-
call the national count. Realistically, he didnt know most of the names
on the program, but did recognize the families. Some members of some
of those families would be there today.
His rich, black case in the closet would be left there. He gingerly
picked up the dried and cracked case from the dresser. The bugle had
arrived a few months ago from the family of his company bugler, who
had been buried this year. Long ago, the man had gotten him inter-
ested in playing, and had now left his instrument to him. For the past
week he had tried to push out some of the dings, had replaced the
mouthpiece with his own, and had buffed every inch of the bugle so
that it gleamed. How many times had this bugle played this song?
Why was he disjointedly recalling the lieutenant who liked hotdogs?
The crowd was not large. Some were dressed sharply. Some were
dressed the best they could. The honor guard had obviously practiced
its precision. No one whispered or otherwise showed disrespect during
the roll call of the deceased. That roll call of gone military members
was depressingly long. Yet, he had to push out the thought that, in this
land of the free, the roll call of military members should have been far,
far longer. Then, he stepped up so that everyone could prepare for what
was coming next. Purposefully he took a step back. This was not about
him or that he was playing; it was about the sound itself. He put the
mouthpiece to his lips, calmly filled his lungs with sweet morning air,
and began. Taps floated over the crowd. The notes filled the cemetery.
The sound honored, in a mournful sort of way, the men and women
who were listening from above.
Friends and laughter, but work all the while. The small park north of the Haakon
County Courthouse parking lot received some more landscaping improvements,
Saturday, May 18. Volunteers put in flagstone and plants. The park will eventually
be the home of the bronze bust of James Scotty Philip. Shown above are Becky
Breck, Kianna Knutson and Barry Knutson. Below are Keegan Burnett and Mary

here to be safe. Its a mind set, said Jim Harty, one of the leaders. Harty said
the funds will go toward the building of a .22 shooting system and backstop for
the civilian marksmanship program, which is not ultra-competitive, but more af-
fordable and fun. Shown, back row, from left, are Philip Pearson, Don Olivier, Mar-

On May 6, local Modern Wood-
men of America members, chapter
#12888, gave a lasting gift to the
community. They gathered at Lake
Waggoner Golf Course to plant
three ash and three pine trees.
The Plant A Tree program was
introduced nationwide in 2004.
This program allows Modern
Woomen members to give the com-
munity a lasting gift, said Don
Haynes, leader of the local Modern
Woodmen chapter.
The name Modern Woodmen
honors the pioneer woodmen who
cleared the forests to build homes
and secure futures for their fami-
lies. Modern Woodmen offers finan-
cial services to help clear away
members financial burdens. Plant-
ing trees is an important way to
create a secure future for families,
communities and the environ-
ment, said Haynes.
Through the plant a tree pro-
gram and the help of its members,
Modern Woodmen has planted
thousands of trees across the
Local Modern Woodmen members plant six trees
United States. Chapters provide
opportunities to connect through

SDSU Extension Wheat Walks
June 11 & 12
SDSU Extension will host
Wheat Walks in the Delmont and
Winner areas June 11 and at the
Dakota Lakes Research Farm and
the Gettysburg area on June 12.
The drought and cool spring cre-
ated significant challenges for win-
ter wheat producers. The goal of
these educational events is to help
optimize the wheat producers have
in place and effectively manage
the crop in the future. Winter
wheat producers may find these
walks to be of particular interest
as some SDSU Winter Wheat CPT
plots have been abandoned and it
is unsure how many Variety Plot
Tours will be held this summer.
SDSU Extension Agronomy
Field and State Specialists will be
on hand at each location, providing
expertise in plant pathology, weed
control, entomology, soil fertility
and agronomic information. Each
specialist will give a brief presen-
tation, followed by time for discus-
sion and questions. Those attend-
ing are welcome to bring samples
from their fields for the agrono-
mists to assess. CCA credits have
been applied for.
Area agribusinesses have
agreed to sponsor the Wheat
Walks and there will be no charge
to attend. Those attending will re-
ceive several Extension publica-
tions, including the iGrow Wheat
Best Management Practices for
Wheat Production in South
Dakota and the Crop Protection
Guide-Wheat, as long as the sup-
ply lasts. Refreshments will be
provided.

South Dakota Farmers Union
has hired four summer interns to
organize and facilitate the family
farm organizations summer youth
education programs and summer
camps.
The 2013 interns are Kortny
Sterrett and Emma Smith, both of
Huron, Hannah Lily of Aberdeen
and Nicole Seible of Merrill, Iowa.
Im so pleased that these four
talented young ladies have commit-
ted to work with our Farmers
Union youth this summer, said
Bonnie Geyer, the organizations
state education director. Theyll
have the opportunity to travel
across the state and pass along
their knowledge to our young peo-
ple and help them learn about agri-
culture and cooperation while en-
hancing their leadership and finan-
cial literacy skills.
Lily, in her second year as an in-
tern, attends Houghton College in
Houghton, N.Y., pursuing a degree
in business administration and
writing. She has been active in the
Farmers Union youth program as a
camper, junior advisory council
member, Farmers Union torch-
bearer, scholarship recipient and a
member of the National Youth Ad-
visory Council.
Smith, also in her second year, is
a graduate of Huron High School
and just completed her sophomore
year at the University of South
Dakota in Vermillion majoring in
advertising and public relations.
Sterrett is in her first summer
with Farmers Union. She attends
the University of South Dakota,
majoring in contemporary media
and journalism.
Also in her first year, Seible at-
tends South Dakota State Univer-
sity at Brookings, majoring in
agribusiness.
Nearly 2,000 South Dakota
youth will participate in South
Dakota Farmers Union youth
camps this summer from every
county in the state. Camps are held
at the local, county, district and
state levels. Local and county day
camps for youth ages six to 13 will
feature crafts, cooperative games
and a time of learning about lead-
ership, citizenship, agriculture, en-
vironmental stewardship and other
life skills. Three day district camps
are held at three different sites in
South Dakota. These overnight
camps feature many of the same
components as day camps, but dive
deeper as youth set up their own
cooperatives and participate in tra-
ditional camp favorites like camp-
fires, canoeing, swimming and
other activities.
A week long state camp is held at
Storm Mountain Center near
Rapid City in the Black Hills. The
camp is for youth ages 14-19 and
focuses on cooperative education
and leadership training. The youth
set up a cooperative store at the
camp, a credit union, cooperative
insurance company and other coop-
erative businesses. They experi-
ence real life scenarios like putting
their own real money in a credit
union and writing a check to the co-
operative store for snacks or
drinks.
Registration for many county
and district camps and state camp
is now open. Visit the education
page at www.sdfu.org to find regis-
tration forms and more informa-
tion.

Stangle invited the kids over for an
afternoon of fun at their house. In-
cluded were Colby and Jensen
Fitch, Autumn and Kamri Parsons,
John and Wade Piroutek, Dylan

his clinic for four weeks.
Donnie and Bobette Schofield
and Chick and Darlene Simons, of
the Howes area, went to Deadwood
Friday to see the Loretta Lynn
show. Her twin daughters and son
also sang and the whole evening
was very enjoyable. They returned
home Saturday. Visiting on Sun-
day were Lynn Dunker and family,
Wall, and Jeff and Crystal
Schofield and Chase. Donnie and
Bobette had plans to brand Mon-
day, but the wet conditions post-
poned that job.
Welcome back to Milesville,
Joan Hamill! Joan returned home
Monday, the 13th, after spending
the winter at her home in St. Paul,
Minn. The weekend of May 10-11,
she and her sons, Russell Jasper
and Matt Jasper, and their families
gathered at the home of daughter,
Racquel and Ron Johnson, Hen-
dricks, Minn. They celebrated the
families' April and May birthdays.
Trent Johnson is 17, Marissa John-
son, 15, Landon Jasper, six, and
Tatum Jasper, two.
Visiting last week at the Phil
Carley's were Karen's second
cousins, Betty Ward and Janelle
Johnson, and Janelle's grandaugh-
ter, Naomi, and friend, Eric, of
Wisconsin. Wednesday, Karen,
Janelle and Naomi visited Frank
and Mildred O'Grady in New Un-
derwood.
The Milesville Rangers 4-H
Club met Friday evening at the
Milesville Hall. Recently, the club
had the honor of winning first place
in the youth division of the South
Dakota wheat Bake and Take pro-
gram.
Saturday morning, Donna and
Tina Staben were in Philip to help
out at the garden club's plant
share. If you didn't have a plant to
share, two tickets could be pur-
chased for a dollar and two plants
could be brought home.
Many Milesville folks attended
at least one performance of the lat-
est Philip Drama Club's produc-
tion, "Bubba's Revenge," last
Thursday through Sunday. The
musical and acting talent of these
folks is outstanding!
Bart and I were supper guests of
Victor and Joy Limacher Friday
evening. It's so nice having our new
neighbors.
We're hearing on Sunday and
Monday of the devastating torna-
does that have ripped through
Oklahoma. We pray for all the fam-
ilies that have lost loved ones.

Looking down at the courtyard
early May 10 in the morning, I see
Sandi putting up the big colorful
umbrellas and placing cushions on
the easy chairs. Friday, May 10,
2013, at Somerset Court, we had
the annual Mothers Day tea. The
hospitality area on second floor
was transformed into a huge tea
party setting with many tables
with white tablecloths. The tea
service from Somerset Courts ex-
tensive collection of tea pots, tea
cups and saucers were brought out
for our use. A variety of tea flavors
were available, and we were
served cucumber and radish sand-
wiches, cookies, grapes, strawber-
ries, salted peanuts and choco-
lates. Guests received various col-
ored corsages with ribbons and
pearls and a big flower. Thank you
to Somerset Court and our activity
directors, Sandi, Shawn, and
Susan. There was a good turnout
of residents with many daughters
and daughters-in-law joining us.
Many photos were taken.
Friday, May 10, Gwynn Hansen
took me to Rapid City Regional
Hospital to have my heart monitor
removed. On the way back to Som-
erset Court, we stopped a couple
garage sales. The weather was
ideal.
After the tea, Gwynn and Barbie
Hansen came over to my apart-
ment for a game of scrabble.
Thank you, girls.
Thank you to my nephew,
Leonard Meyer, Greenfield, Ind.,
who sent an email with sound
about fill-harmonic music. Peo-
ple have built a living area on top
of a landfill, and have salvaged
anything usable from the dump.
They have even built musical in-
struments out of oil cans and
junked parts of things and it is
wonderful that they made profes-
sional sounding instruments. It
was a touching email.
Saturday, May 11, 2013, at Som-
erset Court there was a lot of com-
pany. Irene Cox had her three lit-
tle great-granddaughters and
Anne Brink had relatives in for a
birthday party. Happy birthday,
Anne. Lila Betten took a Saturday
tour through the Black Hills and
stopped in Hill City for lunch with
relatives. Irene McKnight went
with her daughter, Beverly, to
Spearfish to see her daughter, Glo-
ria Crumet. Irene said that Gloria
looked very nice. Hairstyles are in-
cluded in the rent at the assisted
living where Gloria resides.
Up on third floor, Zona Hair-
grave has a wonderful plant. It is
a hen and chicks and it is planted
in a pottery vase which has portals
for little plants to grow out of. She
let me take her photo with her
plant. Does a hen always have 13
chicks?
On the front page of the Rapid
City Journal May 11, 2013, M.R.
Hansen had his photos with the
concrete airplane and a well-writ-
ten article about his work in con-
crete at South Dakota School of
Mines and Technology for the last
20 or so years.
May 9, 2013, Rapid City Jour-
nal, there was a good story by
Kevin Woster. He and his wife
were looking for the black-backed
woodpecker, because that is the
bird famous for digging out and
eating larva of the wood-boring
beetles. You may borrow my story.
Thank you to M.R. Hansen, who
came for scrabble and brought a
big heavy box of books I had been
waiting for from old house in
Philip. My Gene Stratton-Porters
and a couple 1974 encyclopedias
from my 30-volume set.
Thank you to David K. Hansen,
Ft. Pierre, who relates the whole
procedure he went through to do a
blacksmithing job, that he could
have just said, No way! Too big of
a job for my shop! But he kept
adding ideas and equipment and
accomplished a seemingly impossi-
ble task. I had to admire his inge-
nuity.
David also mentioned that Arnis
Knutson, Philip, had put a photo of
the Rolla Palmers homestead
(Grindstone neighborhood) stone
blacksmith shop on Facebook.
Thank you, Arnis. This photo
should be of interest to all of Rolla
Palmers offspring. That would be
all the Virgil Hansen family, the
Effie and Harold Johnson family,
mostly of Lincoln, Neb., the Harry
and Alma Schilling family, Red-
field, and Wanda Artz and
Leonard Meyer and family.
Thank you to my granddaugh-
ter, Emily Hansen, Lincoln, Neb.,
for my pretty Mothers Day card.
She said that her mom and sister,
Sheridan Hansen, and children
would soon be driving down to Lin-
coln to visit her.
Thank you to my daughter,
Carol Vogan, for a big Mothers
Day card and one of her childhood
memory short stories. It is called,
Locked up A Night in the
Chicken Coop.
Sunday, May 12, Mothers Day,
Irene Arbach entertained family in
the Somerset Court guest dining
room.
Sunday, Irene McKnight went to
be with family who were celebrat-
ing her granddaughter, Sierras,
graduation from Stevens High
School.
Rev. Richardson hurt his back
and couldnt be with us for church
May 12. Jack Humke volunteered
to play the piano and lead us in
singing a few hymns. Several Som-
erset Court residents met as usual
and had a time of fellowship and a
prayer was offered for Rev.
Richardson. Thank you, Jack, for
organizing a get together.
My great-granddaughter, Gwen
Morgan, phoned from Virginia
with news that is just trying to
burst out. Thank you, Gwen.
My daughter, Vinnie, and hus-
band Danny sent a charming
Mothers Day card with birds and
birdhouses cut out.
Monday, May 13, was an ideal
day, warm and not windy. A local
flower shop sent over two big rose
bouquets to Somerset Court, one in
various colors and one in shades of
lavender. Thank you, we enjoy
them.
Sorry to report, Mildred Krae-
mers family were to taking her to
a concert for Mothers Day and she
fell and broke her wrist.
Monday, May 13, 2013, at Som-
erset Court, we had the activity of
ping pong poker. Amy and Sandi
were there to pick up balls and
keep score. Players were Irene
McKnight, Eileen Tenold, Jim
Holmes, Fred Smith, Addie Rorvig,
Mary Lou Peters, Bert Schnieder,
and Amys Gramps. Mary Lou
won one game and Vivian the
other.
My lab lady told me she is going
to run a marathon Saturday. How
wonderful. All proceeds from these
marathons go for charities. Run-
ners pay to run.
Sandi announced that at the re-
cent Somerset Court volunteer ap-
preciation brunch, Amy Voyles
was voted outstanding volunteer,
as she has been working for us
since 2008. Applause, congratula-
tions, and many thanks, Amy! She
received a plaque inscribed with
our thanks.
Some clothing manufacturers
could learn from those like Studio
Works who stamp their name and
size and fabric info on the inside of
the back of the neck of garments.
This is much more comfortable for
the wearers than the stiff fabric
name and info tags used by some
other manufacturers.
At supper on May 14, Lila Bet-
ten had company, her daughter,
Lisa, who lives in Rapid City.
The Rapid City Journal front
page story about the SDSM&T
concrete airplane last week, has
been picked up by the New York
Times.
Wednesday, May 15, 2013, we
were entertained at Somerset
Court by the Women Who Care
from the North Maple Methodist
Church. They sang and we had de-
votions and jokes and stories. They
had a poem about The Flour
Sack, which told of the many uses
we had for the old white fabric of
the 50 pound flour sack. It could be
a bandage, a diaper, a dish towel,
a curtain, ghost costume, or a
parachute for a cat. We used the
chapel area and that saves moving
a lot of chairs. Attending were
Jack Humke, Addie Rorvig, Eileen
Tenold, Marge Self, Bert Schnei-
der, Anne Brink, Mildred Young,
and her helper, Kay, Elmae
Helfenstein, Fred Smith, Agnes
Tastad, Irene Arbach, Marjorie
Gaffin, Lucille Huether, Floy
Olson, Margaret Jacobs, Marcella
Kraft, Stella Hicks, Mary Lou Pe-
ters, and Vivian Hansen. Some of
the hymns they sang were It Is
No Secret, I Need Thee Every
Hour, Trust and Obey, and God
Will Take Care of You. The ladies
had made flags for us with yarn
cross stitch. Thank you. And thank
you for the comfy neck pillows you
brought for us last time.
Thank you, Marcella Kraft, who
showed me a card that she had
from Beth Schoniger Smith, (Mrs.
Mel Smith), Philip, who used to go
to school with my kids, Hans and
Vinnie. I wondered if she used to
teach school at Alfalfa Valley?
May 15, we planted flowers in
the big urns in the courtyard.
Trees are in full bloom. It was
lovely out there. See the new pho-
tos in the resident photo book on
the coffee table by the fireplace at
Somerset Court. Some are of our
Mothers Day tea, the old cars at
Somerset Court parking lot,
Easter and St. Patricks Day.
Wear purple for world peace was
our theme for May 16. There was
a good turnout of purple wearers.
I took some photos. Mildred Young
and I had our photo taken just out-
side her courtyard door. My apart-
ment is directly above Mildreds.
Then I went to visit Myrna Pokor-
ney, whose apartment is next door
to Mildreds.
Thank you to Ravellette Publica-
tions of Philip for your pleasant
check. It cheered me.
Thank you to Wanda and Ed
Artz for your pretty card and Paul
Schillings funeral folder and the
news that they got to see Father
Lyle Johnson and Denise Johnson
Schroer, and Pauls brothers and
sister. Military rites were also ob-
served as Paul had spent 20 years
in the Army. Pauls later career
was as a direct care provider at
The South Dakota Developmental
Center in Redfield.
At Somerset Court May 16, we
had bingo with winners Doris
Wellman, Addie, twice, Jim Hilton,
Bert Schneider, twice, Helen
Amundson, and Betty Downen.
Following bingo we had the new
residents reception welcoming
Stella Hicks, Shirley Hessman,
Jeff Farr and Zona Hairgrave. We
had treats of chocolate and/or
strawberry ice cream sundaes.
It rained a tiny shower today
and it was calm and wonderful
after supper Thursday evening.
Connie Stevens was out walking
around the grounds.
My daughter, Delores Denke,
Pavillion, Wyo., wrote a good,
newsy letter. Thank you, Delores.
They expect to be short of water for
irrigation this year and planted ac-
cordingly. They have had long ex-
perience of ways to manage water
shortage. They have already had
asparagus and rhubarb from their
garden. Delores went with her
birding group and participated in
the Audubon Migratory Bird
Count. She enjoyed that partly be-
cause the weather was pleasant
and partly because she recorded
about 70 species. Delores men-
tioned that her son, Richard
Denke, and wife Angela are build-
ing a new house near their old one,
about two miles from Don and De-
lores.
May 18. Happy birthday, De-
lores Denke, Pavillion, Wyo. I re-
member the day you were born, in
1941, in Philip. Virgil had
arranged for a nurse, (Shirley
Burns, $10, and Dr. Cowen, $20) to
attend there at the little house,
just up the draw from where the
O.K. Whitneys used to live, (and
later the Paul Roseths). The little
house was about 12 feet square.
Water was from a cistern with
boards over the top. You hauled
the water with a bucket. We had a
nice Aladdin lamp for lights. For
heat and cooking, we had a big, old
black, white and grey speckled
enamel Warm Morning Stove. Vir-
gil was away down at Highmore
painting some farm buildings. My
sister, Evalynn (Palmer) Hulett,
lived just up on the hill about
where the Tom Radways live now.
She came down and cleaned up.
All went according to plan and
three days later, Marie Hansen
had her baby, Paula, right there in
the same little house.
Thank you to my daughter,
Carol, for paying for my hair ap-
pointments. Sharon Keen here at
Somerset Court does a good job
and everybody says it looks nice.
Carol emailed that they are put-
ting in a new rock area at their
country place near Colorado
Springs and have received four
and one-half ton of rock for the
project.
Friday, a bunch of us played a
lot of quiddler. They were afraid
they would get sick of five crowns.
M.R. Hansen came for scrabble
and made by day much more
pleasant. Mig, Fuddy, Wayne and
others are planning on camping at
the Pat Trask ranch Saturday
night. Mig said if I wasnt so old, I
could come along camping. The
buffalo burgers sounded good, but
as for the beer, it is not an attrac-
tion. I heard that Frank Hansen,
Albuquerque, is out to South
Dakota to visit the Thorsons.
We are glad to see Maxine
Kilmer back at Somerset Court.
Maxine brought a big song book so
I could copy out the song, You Are
My Sunshine. Thank you, Max-
ine. Jade (Somerset Court staff
worker) wrestled with the big book
and copied it out for me. Thanks,
Jade.

Edward Duffy, 90, of Fort Pierre,
S.D., died Saturday, May 11, 2013,
at Avera St. Marys Hospital in
Pierre.
Edward Francis Duffy was born
to Edward Vincent and Elizabeth
(Kingston) Duffy on October 4,
1922, in Pierre. His parents were
Irish immigrants and homestead-
ers. Ed was raised on the Fort Ben-
nett Flat and attended school there
for six years, riding horseback
every day to and from school. A sis-
ter, Evangeline, and brother,
Bernard, were also raised on the
family homestead. When he was 12
years old, the family moved to Fort
Pierre, where they lived on the
Stanley County Fairgrounds. Al-
though they moved to town, Ed still
spent several summers working on
the John and Florence Tibbs ranch.
He participated in football at Fort
Pierre High School and graduated
in 1941.
Following graduation, Ed
worked constructing the Pierre
Post 8 Legion building and Sts.
Peter and Paul Catholic Church,
before going to work for Coughlins
Dairy in Pierre.
He married Doris Glessner in
1942. To this union four children
were born. He worked as a dairy-
man until enlisting in the United
States Navy in 1943. Ed served in
the Western Pacific Theater as a
gyro compass technician aboard
the submarine tender U.S.S. Ful-
ton until 1945.
After his honorable discharge
from the Navy, Ed returned to Fort
Pierre. He purchased Rexs Confec-
tionary in 1946 and eventually re-
named it Duffys Tavern. In 1952,
he opened Duffys Caf in down-
town Fort Pierre. He married Pa-
tricia Blegen in 1962. To this union
a daughter, Dana, was born. They
operated the Chateau Lounge, Sil-
ver Spur Bar and Fort Pierre
Liquors, and were tireless advo-
cates of the Fort Pierre community.
They played active roles in the con-
struction of the Fort Pierre Swim-
ming Pool, Stanley County Fair-
grounds, Community & Youth In-
volved Center, Fort Pierre Senior
Center, the South Dakota Rodeo
Center as well as numerous other
projects.
Ed was the commander of Amer-
ican Legion Post 20, a member of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post
#2038, Elks Lodge #1953, Moose
Lodge #1813 and the Fort Pierre
Chamber of Commerce. He helped
create the South Dakota Rodeo As-
sociation in 1955 and was an ar-
dent supporter of South Dakota
horse racing. Ed was inducted into
the Casey Tibbs South Dakota
Rodeo Center Hall of Fame in 1996
as a rodeo promoter.
Ed spent several years lobbying
in the South Dakota State Legisla-
ture and twice ran for a seat in the
House of Representatives. For
years the Chateau Lounge was a
place where politicians were able to
meet and eat and drink and come
to terms with one another in a way
that seems elusive now. Edward
Duffy was a gentle western man, a
child of the Depression whose good
heart never left him and whose
daily acts of kindness will be re-
membered by many.
Edward is survived by his wife,
Patricia; his brother, Bernard
(Peggy); two sons, Michael and
Steven Edward (Helene) Duffy; one
daughter, Dana (Dan) Costner; one
stepson, Terry (Wendy) Blegen;
two stepdaughters, Barbara (Dan)
Downs and Darci (Scott) Deal; nu-
merous grandchildren, great-grand
children, nephews, nieces and rel-
atives.
He was preceded in death by his
parents, Ed and Lizzie; his sister,
Vangie; a son, Dan; a daughter
Mary Diane Ehnes; a son-in-law
Ron Ehnes and a grandson, Dan
Duffy.
Services were held Saturday,
May 18, at St. Johns Catholic
Church in Fort Pierre with Fr.
Mark McCormick officiating
Burial was at Scotty Philip
Cemetery, Fort Pierre.
Arrangements were placed in
care of Isburg Funeral Chapel.

Many prayers were answered as
folks across a good portion of South
Dakota got that much needed rain.
Friday evening the sky to the south
had some threatening looking
clouds. Karel Reiman called to see
how we faired, as she had some
hail with the rains at her place.
Said it didnt last long, but there
were some pretty good sized hail
stones along with the smaller ones.
She had no broken windows, but on
Sunday parishioners noticed a bro-
ken window at St. Peters Lutheran
Church, which is east of Karels
house. I gave Ivan Schanzenbach a
call to see what he had for rain. He
reported with the Friday and Sat-
urday rains he had a little over
three inches along with some small
hail Friday. Theres a creek you can
see from the kitchen window at the
Schanzenbach house. Ivan said the
creek was running, something he
hasnt seen for quite some time.
Some folks had over four inches!
Jerry and I had to make a quick
trip to Pierre this Monday morn-
ing. There was water in some of the
ditches, water in fields, and water
in some of the dams that have been
dry. A sight we have not seen for a
long time. It is so good to see the
rich green grasses in the ditches
and across the land. This will give
a boost to those field crops as well.
Spring started out with below nor-
mal temperatures for a number of
days, then it was in the 70s, my fa-
vorite, and then off it went to above
normal temperatures in the upper
80s to mid 90s. A roller coaster ride
of temperatures! With those higher
temperatures the earth warmed
and when the rains finally came
the land was ready. As we are
thankful for this wonderful mois-
ture weve been given, our hearts
go out to those folks hit by those
devastating tornadoes. Its a re-
minder of Mother Natures ability
to give and its ability to take away.
Our thoughts and prayers are with
those folks who lost loved ones and
everything they owned.
People are invited to the family
Christian ministry of Larry and
Gloria Lundstrom at the Midland
City Park on Sunday, June 2, at
6:00 p.m.
Congratulations and best
wishes to Wayne and Eldena (Fos-
ter) Haerer who are celebrating
their 65th wedding anniversary.
Parents and kids, the Midland
Community Library is once again
sponsoring the summer reading
program. Jenna Finn is in charge
of it again this year and reports the
dates will be June 5, 12, 19 and 26
from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and
will be held at Trinity Lutheran
Church with kids going to the li-
brary to check out books before
heading for home. The theme for
the summer reading program is
from Dr. Seuss, Reading is our
Thing. We much appreciate
Jennas willingness to do this for
our kids.
T-ball and C-ball for kids ages
four to nine is in the planning once
again. For those interested you can
call Jenna Finn @ 843-2220 or
Katie Sammons @ 843-2199. Like
with anything, it takes folks will-
ing to give of their time to do this
for our kids in the community.
Thanks, Jenna and Katie!
Students from the Kadoka Area
schools of Kadoka, Midland and
Long Valley, who participated in

lan and Kash Block, Ashley Hand

of who they are.
MIDLAND TRINITY LUTHERAN
CHURCH IS CELEBRATING ITS
100 YEARS OF BELIEVING
ANNIVERSARY, JUNE 1, 2013.
CHURCH SERVICE / PROGRAM,
9 A.M. MST. A POTLUCK MEAL
AND FELLOWSHIP WILL FOL-
LOW (MEAT & DRINKS WILL
BE FURNISHED).
Our sincere sympathies to the
family of Alice Donovan-Venner
who passed away at her home in
Pierre May 16, 2013. Alice and her
late husband, William Dude
Donovan, were a part of the Mid-
land community for many years,
where they raised their family of
12. Dude and Alice had 48 years to-
gether before he passed away in
1997. Alice married Larry Venner
in June of 2000. Alice was one of
those people who were enjoyable to
be around with her ever ready
smile, her contagious laugh and
her zest for life. Her faith was a
constant companion and her love of
family was evident. Her journey
with the cancer had its challenges
over this past year, but through it
all she and her family built memo-
ries for a lifetime and through the
days ahead there will be laughter
and their will be tears as they re-
member their family time and look-
ing at the many pictures taken dur-
ing those days. We much appreci-
ate Alices daughter, Micaela, keep-
ing many folks in touch with this
journey on the caring bridge web-
site. Our thoughts and our prayers
are with the family of Alice Dono-
van-Venner.
Wednesday, Karel Reiman met
her brother, Ed Eisenbraun, her
mom, Goldie Eisenbraun, and her
sister, Paula Eisenbraun, all of
Rapid City, at Wall. Karel rode
with them to the home of Fred and
Doris Eisenbraun, Creighton, to
celebrate the 93rd birthday of their
aunt, Margaret Eisenbraun. Mar-
garets daughters, Alma Crosbie
and Alice Richter, came from New
Underwood. Also attending was
Margarets six-month-old great-
granddaughter, Julie. Margaret
lives with her son, Fred, and his
wife, Doris. Everyone enjoyed a
noon meal and birthday cake and a
time of visiting. Margaret and
Goldie are sisters-in-law, and while
sharing memories they had some
good laughs over those memories,
giving others some laughter, as
well. It was a good day! Before
heading home, Karel and her fam-
ily went to the Creighton Cemetery
putting flowers on family graves.
Recently, Jerry and Joy Jones
and their granddaughter, Cassidy
Trapp, headed for Devils Lake,
N.D., to the home of their daugh-
ter, Loni and Scott Nelson. The
Nelsons eight-year-old daughter,
Molly, was performing in a dance
recital.
Chauncey and Wyatt Trapp are
on the student council at T. F.
Riggs High School in Pierre, so had
to be on hand to help out at the
senior graduation at Riggs this
past weekend.
Roy and Carol Hunt, Keith
Hunt, Christine Niedan, Michelle
Meinzer, all of Midland, and
Teresa Palmer, Murdo, headed for

merer, Wyo., had come on Thurs-
day. Other family members and
friends were there from the Smith
Center area. Besides being there
for Lisas birthday, everyone had
come for the Smith Center High
School graduation of Deidra
Hackerott, daughter of Brian and
Lisa Hackerott. Everyone headed
for home Sunday. Christine reports
when they got to Winner, there was
water running across the streets
from the heavy rains they received.
Our congratulations to Deidra on
her graduation and happy birthday
wishes to Lisa.
Midland area students graduat-
ing from the Philip High School
and having their reception together
in the Fine Arts Building were
Gavin Snook, Thomas Doolitte,
Smantha Huston, Katelyn Enders
and Carl Poss of Philip, who is a
good friend of Gavins. To further
celebrate Gavins graduation, his
parents, Gary and Deb Snook, in-
vited some friends to their home,
that being Duane and Annette
Hand and family, Kory and Robin
Bierle and family, Gavins grand-
mothers, Diana Dinsmore and Pat
Snook, Matt and Amy Eldridge and
two boys, Pierre, Bob and Sue Mar-
rington, Riverton, Wyo., and
Gavins friends, Shelly Bork and
Carl Poss. Congratulations to the
graduates!
Shorty and Maxine Jones drove
to Deadwood last Friday to attend
the Loretta Lynn concert, a Christ-
mas gift from family members. The
concert was sold out, which seemed
very exciting to the local emcee of
the show! Loretta Lynns voice is
still wonderful at age 80. Maxine
reports the crowd really appreci-
ated her band and show, so it was
probably a great night for everyone
except those who were leaving dur-
ing a hail storm with golf ball sized
hail lasting several minutes.

Saturday, Shorty and Maxine
drove to Valentine, Neb., for the
wedding of Colin Stalley and Kayla
Hendrickson. Colins parents are
Patty and the late T.R. Stalley.
Patty grew up nearby at
Springview, Neb., and still has
quite a bit of family in that area,
and his three sisters were married
there.
Steve and Connie (Stalley)
Leek, Slayton, Minn., Beverly Mc-
Neese, Belle Fourche, Tejay and
Tonia Fisher, Rapid City, were
there. And Colins sisters and fam-
ilies, Randy and Kari Suhn, Kail,
Shahayla, and Tialah and Matt
and Kolene, Maddie and Max, Rob-
bie and Kelli, and daughter Reah,
Oklahoma, were there. So lots of
good family reminiscing was fit in
at the reception and at breakfast
Sunday.
Jerry and I headed for Spearfish
last Saturday to the high school
graduation of our granddaughter,
Miranda Meeker. As we got closer
to Spearfish we noticed some white
on the hills, not being cold enough
for snow we knew it had to be hail.
With temperatures dropping from
74 to 55 was another sign of hail.
Water was roaring through the cul-
verts, indicating a downpour. We
were glad we missed all of that!
Getting to Spearfish, we learned
there had been three different hail
storms that afternoon. Steve and
Aprils son, Jamie Meeker, Lincoln,
Neb., had come on Friday and said
he had to stop and take cover at the
1880 Town due to the wind, rain,
and hail. He said there were vehi-
cles with busted windows from the
hail. Our daughter, Charlene, said
she didnt run into anything com-
ing from Bismarck, N.D., but when
she and our son, Jim and Carmen
were driving from Belle Fourche to
Spearfish Saturday evening there
were two cars in the ditch. There
was a lot of hail on the road and
Jim figured they may have hy-
droplaned from the hail. Steves
family there for the graduation
were his mom, Jean Meeker, his
sister, Sandy, and her daughter
and son-in-law, all from Britton,
and his brother, Ron and Julie,
Sioux Falls. Steve and April had a
reception at their home Saturday
evening for their daughter, Mi-
randa, and her high school class-
mate, Becky, with a huge crowd in
attendance. The girls basketball
coach, Eric Lappe, was there. In
visiting with him, I told him I knew
his step-grandfather, Don Sandal.
He got this surprised look on his
face and said, Really. Told him I
had known Don all of my life. I also
told him he had made it in my Mid-
land News column as I told of his
relationship to Don and him being
our granddaughter, Mirandas
coach. We had a good chuckle as I
told him, It doesnt get any better
then that. Before everyone headed
for graduation Sunday, we had a
choice of soups at Steve and Aprils.
It was a good day for a hot bowl of
chili. With Miranda being in so
many different sports, it kept mom
and dad on the road. They wont
know what to do next school season
when Miranda is off to South
Dakota State University at Brook-
ings. Im thinking they might get
caught up on things that got put on
the back burner.
As I close my column for this
week, I leave you with the follow-
ing, The past is a source of knowl-
edge, and the future is a source of
hope. Love of the past implies faith
in the future. Stephen Ambrose.
Have a good week and Lord, we
do thank you for this wonderful
moisture.

The students of Deep Creek School spent a field day during the last week of
school touring local sights. Counting their own, they visited five schools in one
day. One was the little white schoolhouse in Philip. Guides to that historical build-
ing, as well as to the authentic cabin next to it (shown), were Marcia West and
Kay Ainslie. Ainslie, who once taught in the white schoolhouse, displayed a photo
from days gone by, and had the Deep Creek students sign their names in the reg-
istration book. With their teacher, Theresa Deuchar, the students rest of the busy
week included a fishing trip and picnic. Pictured, in back, is Dylan Endres. Front,
from left, are Marcia West, Bobbie Jarvi, Zakry Sinkey, Kori Endres, Noah Johnson
and Kay Ainslie. Courtesy photo

The Midland Volunteer Fire Department has completed the upgrade of Unit 5
the Ottumwa fire truck. This 1997 International truck replaced the 1979 truck
that had become unreliable. According MVFD Fire Chief Reuben Vollmer, Jr., the
MVFD purchased the chassis from a power company in late October and spent
the winter building the bed and moving equipment from the old truck. The new
Unit 5 is equipped with four-wheel drive, a 1,000 gallon poly tank, foam unit, high
pressure pump, power reel, two wipe lines, bumper mounted monitor, digital radio
and a full set of emergency lights. This unit is housed and manned 18 miles
northwest of Midland through the summer months, providing better response
time for incidents in that area. Shown is the new Unit 5 with Sandra and Dennis
Heaton and Jim Van Tassel, some of the crew who worked on and will operate
the truck. Courtesy photos

The lilac bushes are blooming
and looking so pretty as are the
tulips and other spring flowers.
The wheat around this area seems
to have just shot up with the mois-
ture weve had in the last week.
Don and Vi Moody stayed in
Rapid City Monday and met Bill
and me at the eye clinic and stayed
through most of my eye surgery
keeping Bill company, along with
all the other folks waiting for sur-
gery patients. The two anesthesiol-
ogist who were taking care of
preparing folks for surgery remem-
bered me from about 2005 when
wed met at the supper for Tom
Daschle in Rapid City and also
when they prepared mom, Ruth
Fairchild, for her eye surgery.
Those two guys have quite the
memories! When done, Bill and I
returned to the motorhome and
rested. Ken and Lynn Hartman,
Chattanooga, Tenn., arrived at our
home in Kadoka and settled in
with their motorhome until we got
back home.
Sandee Gittings was in Pierre
Monday through Thursday for
schooling for her other job. She got
to visit with a number of people
who are in a classic car club and
were touring the area. They had
left from New York and were on
their way to San Francisco. The
cars had to be 1949 and older and
there were even a couple from the
20s. Thirty to 35 cars were in the
group.
Tony Harty had a quiet Monday,
just getting the mail and then hung
out at home. However by Tuesday
hed watched the grass grow and
decided it was time to break out the
mower and get things going. He
tinkered around at that, visited
Dale OConnell for a little expert-
ise, and when he got home, the
mower started, he figured he
needed to charge the battery
longer.
Tuesday morning, Bill and I
were in for a follow-up appoint-
ment on the eye and ran into most
of the folks from the waiting room
the day before. All was good, so we
were on the road for home. Ken and
Lynn were glad to see us and the
order of business was to do a little
revamping in the shop to get an-
other 50 amp outlet up and run-
ning and also the guys did some ex-
ploring on Kens motorhome to cor-
rect some problems. Ken and Lynn
had just traded coaches and down-
sized from a 40 one to a 37 one
that had a bath and a half. Is that
really a downsize?
Tuesday, Cathy Fiedler with two
other gals from work attended the
funeral for a resident who they had
taken care of.
Don and Vi Moody finished up
their Rapid Valley details and left
early Tuesday morning to return
back to the ranch. A bit of rain
came Monday at the ranch, but
Tuesday it was so nice they enjoyed
their patio and rolled their awning
out for a couple of hours until the
wind came up. They did get all
their yards mowed Tuesday around
the ranch so that was a good work-
out for the lawnmower and weed
whackers.
Here at our home Wednesday,
Bill and Ken Hartman were crawl-
ing under and over Kens mo-
torhome, using muscles they hadnt
exercised in a long time. Lynn vis-
ited with me, and Carol Solon
stopped by for a visit in the morn-
ing. I was kept busy with the
Haakon County Prairie Trans-
portation van at noon and all after-
noon taking a client to Rapid City.
It was interesting to note that the
AARP newsletter had a nice write-
up about the River Cities Public
Transit in Pierre, which we work
with. Jerry Baldwin, who has been
helping with driving the van here
in Kadoka, is making a career
change and going back to Califor-
nia where his family is. It was nice
to have more hands to drive, so we
are in search of another person to
hopefully drive.
Tony Harty got his mail Wednes-
day, then tackled some mowing, ac-
complishing getting three yards
done, but he said the mower throws
up so much dust and dirt that he
needs to figure how to direct it
away or down. He needed a shower
after that project.
Wednesday, Ralph and Cathy
Fiedler drove to Philip to spend the
day with Cathys mom, Katy
Drageset, at the nursing home.
Cathys brother, Bruce Barnett,
Quinn, was there and her aunt,
Eileen Fitzgerald, stopped by too.
They had lunch with Diana Stew-
art at the caf, returning back to
Sturgis in the evening.
Thursday, Ken and Lynn joined
Bill and me for an early breakfast,
then I was on the road to Pierre
with the little community van and
a client with an appointment. River
Cities Public Transit had called to
ask me to bring our van in for
maintenance while I was in Pierre.
I think that was just a ploy to get
me to take a random drug test. At
any rate, we went home in a spiffy
clean van. That night, I took folks
from the nursing home to Philip to
the play and Lynn went along.
What an outstanding performance!
The thing that made it really enjoy-
able was the ability to hear every-
thing so well. Fine job on the audio.
Thursday after getting his mail,
Tony Harty went to watch the
track meet, then did some more
mowing. The good thing about
blowing up so much dirt while
mowing, is he said he needed an-
other shower. I told him that
wasnt all that bad! He visited
Kathy Brown later in the day.
Friday morning was foggy. After
breakfast, Bill and Ken went to
Terry Bucherts and picked up a
part that needed repaired, so we
left for Rapid City early to get the
repair done before the car races
that evening. Mission accom-
plished. Got home sort of late, but
races were good.
Friday afternoon, Ralph and
Cathy Fiedler went to Spearfish to
do some shopping, and then met
Don, Lynette and Hannah Klumb
for supper at Lynettes work place.
Granddaughters Caitlin and Tessa
had other plans.
Friday after picking up his mail,
Tony Harty stopped by our place
briefly, then made a trip to Wan-
blee for some groceries that he had
a call about. He picked up quite a
few frozen items. When he got
home, he was on the phone seeing
who could use the things. Saturday
was busy with people stopping by.
Kathy Brown helped him break
down some items to more manage-
able size. Visitors at his place were
Jamie Brown, Donna Enders,
Sonya Addison, Chris Riggins,
Carol Solon and Don and Vi Moody.
George and Sandee Gittings
were in town Friday night for sup-
per.
Don and Vi Moody visited at our
place Saturday morning to check
on the flatbed trailer for the parade
and met the Ken Hartman's, and
also stopped by Tony Harty's and
Kathy Brown's Saturday. Driving
back home on the service road, they
noticed there had been a small
grass fire in the road ditch, which
looked like rain had put it out. To-
ward evening some more really
good rain and energetic thunder
boomers and some heavy wind
came. The irrigation water even
ran under Highway 73 on Don and
Vi's south creek from the west side
and started filling dikes on the east
side. What a nice change so far
from the dry summer last year
now if it will just keep up the fre-
quent showers all would be much
nicer in the really dry parts of
western South Dakota.
Saturday afternoon, Ken and
Lynn Hartman packed an
overnight bag and loaded up in our
motorhome for a trip to the Mis-
souri River. We settled in at the
Corps of Engineers campground,
had supper out, then the guys tried
their luck at catching some fish. A
bite or two was all for that evening.
We had parked the Hartmans mo-
torhome in the shop, so as the
storm went by Kadoka, all was well
there. The rain arrived at our
campground after 11 p.m., but was
just a nice rain.
Sunday, not much moisture
came during the day, so work was
accomplished around the front
yard at Don and Vi Moodys. Don
did a good job of spreading some
more of the ground asphalt with
the skid steer in front of the house
and shop areas which had quite a
bit of water run-off trying to make
its own channel, so got that
stopped hopefully. The pastures
are really greening up.
Cathy Fiedler reported a beauti-
ful week in Sturgis. Nice tempera-
tures and no moisture the first part
of the week, but by Friday night
they had a thunderstorm go
through that dropped .55 of rain.
Well over a inch of moisture on
Sunday, running a little water and
turning the hills lush and green.
Sunday following church, Tony
Harty attended the graduation cer-
emony at the auditorium, then
went to receptions at the local es-
tablishment for family members.
L.D. and Shirley Hair were back in
Kadoka, so Tony visited at their
home that evening.
Down at the river, Ken and Bill
were hard at it after breakfast try-
ing to entice a fish to get on their
hook. Bill needed a bigger hook,
several bites, but no luck landing
any. Ken got a picture of the north-
ern he caught and released. Lynn
enjoyed taking pictures and enjoy-
ing the area. We returned home
that evening.
Vi reported that total rainfall for
the week was 2 at their place. A
nice start after having record high
temperatures the week before.
Just a reminder, Farmers Union
Camp will be at the Missile Inn
Monday, June 24.
The tragedy of the weather that
has ripped through the southern
states, especially Oklahoma, re-
minds us that as a population, we
are not in charge. Be thankful for
each day and prayerful for those
who suffer.
If you dont enjoy what you have,
how could you be happier with
more? Daysies

Philip Garden Club plant share
Guests and garden club members alike enjoyed another plant share offered by
the Philip Garden Club, Saturday, May 18, at the Haakon County Courthouse,
stated club president Elke Baxter. Plants of all kinds found new homes as guests
enjoyed homemade treats, won door prizes, picked up freebies and asked master
gardeners for advice. People exchanged plants, bought
plants and collected free plants all depending on
coupons received through bringing in plants for trade or
through purchases. Above, Gayle Rush, Barbara Wentz and
Esther Knutson discuss perennials versus annuals. Clock-

The good news this week is the
rain, the first that has water
standing in the yard. We only got
about .70 in all but it has been
raining all morning and does it
ever look great to see the mois-
ture. It has been a spotted rain,
some only a mile away and got an
inch to an one and one-half inches.
One person reported 1.80 a mile
north and east of us. So many
have been selling their cattle as
there was no grass and no pasture
to rent. It will take a lot of growth
to catch up, even if we do have
rain as they were grazed so tight.
Everyone had fed a lot of their hay
if they did have any left over from
2011. The price of hay went up as
the demand was so great and this
made keeping cows too expensive
to winter and no place to go when
spring came.
I notice the cows are late shed-
ding their winter coat. I suppose
that it had not warmed up and
they are late doing so. They dont
have the gloss they usually do this
time of the year, but see a few that
are starting to after it got warm.
This has been a tough year on
livestock and those who care for
them. Some have already sold
part of their herd, some have sold
all of them. I dont know if this
rain will help slow up people sell-
ing or not. Sure will have to keep
raining a lot for them to do so.
Debbie Smith has been busy
with the play this week. Her fam-
ily was home for the play includ-
ing daughters, Colby, Spearfish,
and Chancie and Aaron from
Lead. Tucker and Jess and boys
also attended. Due to the weather
forecast, I did not get to go. I do
not like to go out when it is rain-
ing.
Russ and Rusty Olney and
Marcy Ramsey are still in
Rochester, Minn., with Vi and
things remain about the same.
Clark Morrison is home and
seems to be doing well. Thelma
Hardt is helping out as needed.
Clark has been outside on his deck
some and has went to the garden
and pulled some green onions and
returned to the house and cleaned
them. So, day by day he is getting
stronger. He enjoys company, but
we need to keep our visits short as
he also needs his rest. Glad that
you are home, Clark. There really
is no place like home, that alone
can make a person feel much bet-
ter.
Herb and Hazel Sieler attended
the play in Philip Sunday after-
noon. They reported a very good
performance. They also reported
1.35 of rain. Otherwise they said
they have just been home, a good
place to be with the forecast the
way it has been.
Brayden, Keagan, Colby and
Jensen Fitch have been helping
Marvin work cattle this week.
Brayden was not able to come
some days as he was on call to
work cattle for other ranchers in
the area. Jensen is only seven
years old, but he prods the cattle
from the top of the fence to get
them into the working tub and
chute. By the time he is old
enough to get down into the
bunch, he will know just how
things are supposed to go. He
could get kicked now as he is not
big enough to defend himself. Now
he can run and get things that are
needed from the vehicles.
As they were here at different
times, Vicki would ask me to come
and eat with them and that is so
nice, as otherwise I eat alone and
no one to talk to. And of course, I
love to see the kids when they are
down. They are so much fun and
always have a lot to say and can
tell a lot of funny stories that hap-
pened at their house. With as
many boys that are in their house
there is always something going
on and if theres not, they make up
something to do! They are a busy
and active bunch. Never a dull
moment and they also know how
to work. They like to build things
and have made several wagons
and carts and I think the last
thing they built was a trailer to
haul their boat on. Not only do
they build things, they also come
and help their grandmothers with
yard work.
I dont think there is a dull mo-
ment at that ranch. Yet they find
time to ride their bikes and snow-
mobiles and go hunting and fish-
ing and go to church. They partic-
ipate in school sports and they
have started to golf. When they
are not doing all this, their dad al-
ways has something for them to
do. The three older ones help their
mom with the little ones also. I am
sure there are other grandchil-
dren who are just as good, but I
am proud of mine and what they
do.
Carlas kids are good help too
when they come down and also
participate in school sports in
Gillette, Wyo. The cousins all get
along great.
This is not grandmas photo
album, but I am sure you get the
picture about what the grandchil-
dren mean to me.
I had a letter from my niece,
Vina (Montgomery) Morris, New-
castle, Wyo., and she sent some
pictures of us when I was in high
school in Sundance, Wyo., in 1947.

I can grant you! It has not really
been for the better, but I am a lit-
tle wiser and not as daring as then
and do believe I have a little more
sense now. They say as years go by
you return to your childish ways, I
dont know if those who know me
could tolerate that!
Dianne Parsons and Donna
Newman went to Aberdeen Friday
to attend the graduation of their
niece and granddaughter, Ariana
Armpatizs. Saturday, they had a
party at Storybook Land and there
were a lot of people who attended.
As you all know, Ariana is very
outgoing and made many friends,
so it is no wonder so many at-
tended. Dianne and Donna
planned to come home Monday,
May 20. Can you believe the New-
man twins will be 50 years old on
July 9. All the kids and Donna are
planning a get together at that
time and it sounds like it might be
in Aberdeen.
Luke and Zane Clements, Bison,
were at Mike Clements over the
weekend of May 18-19 and they all
went out to Glenn Bennetts Sat-
urday to help work cattle.
Tucker and Jess Smith and boys
attended the 60th birthday party
for Richard Papousek this week.
Last week, Tylissa (Fitch) Geffre
was her for a few days visiting her
folks and other family members so
they could get acquainted with
granddaughter and niece, Brekyn
Lyn, the new baby daughter born
to Brock and Tylissa.
I was in Philip this week to get
a haircut and got acquainted with
the new puppy the Peterson chil-
dren just got and are so proud of.
He is a mix of beagle and some-
thing else. They go him east some-
where and the owners met Peter-
sons in Mitchell so they could pick
him up. Those kids will have a fun
summer playing with him.
Weddings in June make me

was asked to be a ring bearer in his
cousins wedding asked his mother,

tume? Mariyn Moberg, Bruce,

Greetings from cool, soggy north-
east Haakon County! It is amazing
how the weather (and the
farmer/rancher's outlook) can
change in a short amount of time.
We have been blessed with mois-
ture the past few days, and every-
one in the community is practically
giddy about it! The rain started
here Saturday night, coming fast
and furious for a while, and it has
rained off and on since that time.
According to Marge Briggs, as of 9
a.m. Tuesday morning, we have re-
ceived 5.22 of rain! I am happy to
say that it looks like Camp
Swampy around here! The dams
are mostly full, as are the lake beds
in the fields, and the ditches are
level full. When we add a little
warmth and sunshine, things are
really going to pop.
My thoughts and prayers are
with the folks in the Oklahoma
City area who are dealing with the
devastation caused by the recent
tornados. Mother Nature is cer-
tainly a force to be reckoned with!
Also, congratulations to all the
graduates! The future is whatever
you make it, so aim high.
On to the news Ruth
Neuhauser had a visit last week-
end from her niece, Sherry Rafaell,
and her husband, Frank, from
Custer. They had been to Ipswich
to attend the graduation of
Sherrys great-nephew.
Nels and Dorothy Paulson were
in Pierre Wednesday to gather up
supplies for branding, which they
had planned for Sunday. Thursday,
Nels helped Clint Alleman trail
cattle south to a pasture. Saturday,
Nels helped Vince Bruce brand,
and then he and Dorothy headed to
town to attend a graduation recep-
tion for Rachel Hartmann. On their
way back to the ranch Saturday
night, they encountered hard driv-
ing rain west of Hayes, making vis-
ibility very poor. Dorothy said
water was running out of the fields,
and water was running over the
road by their mailbox. Thankfully,
they made it home just fine, and of
course branding activities planned
for Sunday were canceled. Sunday
services at Deep Creek Church
were canceled also, due to the wet
roads.

Kevin Neuhauser helped with
branding at Randy Neuhauser's
Saturday, then he went in to Pierre
to attend Dylan Neuhauser's grad-
uation reception. Kevin's wife,
Mary, had gone in earlier as her
parents (Maurice and Katherine
Schlechter) were in town, and she
took them to church before Kevin
got to town. Kevin and Mary spent
some time visiting at Gaylon and
Cindy (Schlechter) Gerbers that
evening. Sunday, Kevin and Mary
went to graduation and then at-
tended receptions for their niece,
Shelby Gerber, and for Jack
Mortenson. Kevin returned home to
some very welcome mud puddles!
Clint and Laura Alleman have
been staying busy as well. Laura
said she enjoyed an awesome
Mother's Day. They have been
branding calves and getting cattle
moved to summer pasture. On
Thursday, they took time to attend
a comedy show in Rapid City. Sat-
urday, they attended a graduation
party for Laura's brother, Nathan
Yost, and Sunday they attended his
graduation at Sunshine Bible Acad-
emy in Miller. Congratulations to
Nathan!
Duane and Lola Roseth were in
Philip Sunday, visiting with Larry
and Linda Smith as well as other
relatives. Lola also visited with her
friend, Jill Alfaro, who is a patient
at the hospital. Monday, Lola was
in Rapid City keeping a dental ap-
pointment and doing some other
business. Monday was also Lola's
birthday! So belated birthday
wishes to Lola and her twin sister,
Linda Smith! I happen to know
their age, but I'm not going to tell!
Dick and Gene Hudson were in
Philip Friday to attend the commu-
nity play. Gene said it was fantas-
tic lots of talent, both singing and
acting! Congratulations to the folks
who donate their time and talent to
the community productions.
Events like that are what help
keep communities vibrant! Satur-

News from the Deep Creek
School May was a busy month for
the students at Deep Creek School.
They ended up the year with the
last STEM project on May 7. This
is a program that emphasizes Sci-
ence, Technology, Engineering, and
Math, and was hosted throughout
the year by the Stanley County
Cheyenne School. The students
wrapped up the program with
launching several types of rockets
that they had made during a previ-
ous session. Thursday, May 9, was
the annual field trip. The class had
the opportunity to ride the Capital
City Queen excursion boat in
Pierre, then explore parts of Farm
Island, take in some activities at
the Discovery Center, and then
stop for a short break for a pizza
lunch. They concluded the field trip
with a visit to the Buffalo Interpre-
tation Center. On May 13, the
group took their Lexile Reading
Test in Philip. Following this, they
had a guided tour of the "little
white schoolhouse" (Magnuson
School) and the log cabin school-
house (Molyneux School) located on
North Larimer Street. Kay Ainslie
and Marcia West shared some of
the history of these two schools.
The students had the opportunity
to sit in the old fashioned desks in
the white schoolhouse. To make
this day more special, the Deep
Creek and Milesville students had
lunch together at the Milesville
School and had fun playing at re-
cess. Following this, they all partic-
ipated in a presentation given by
Don Weller. He had an interesting
"show and tell" about the Philip
ambulance. All of the students had
a chance to see the Philip ambu-
lance and learn how important it is
to have this service. Wednesday,
May 15, was the last day of school.
Family, students, and the teacher
enjoyed fishing at the Roseth dam.
A potluck followed at Adam and
Jodi Roseth's home.

Marge Briggs submitted the fol-
lowing weather data for April,
2013, The high temperature was
82 on the 27th, and we had six
days of 70 or above and 13 days of
50 or above. The lowest maximum
temperature was 11 on the 23rd,
and we had 25 days with a low of
32 or below. The low for the
month was 11 on the 23rd. The av-
erage high for the month was 49,
the average low was 26, and the
month's average temperature was
38.
Precipitation for April was 2.43
(mostly from snow). The normal
precipitation for April is 1.72,
leaving us .71 above normal for
the month. Year-to-date precipita-
tion is 3.66, which ties the normal
precip of 3.66. In April, we had
14.7 of snow, and year-to-date
snowfall is 30.8. Winter-to-date
snowfall was measured at 37.9.
Marge did some research on
moisture, starting with 2008
through March 2013. During the
years of 2008 through 2011, we had
above normal precipitation, rang-
ing from 4.33 above normal to
11.05 above normal. During those
years, the annual precipitation
went from 20.71 to 27.43, and the
normal annual precipitation is
16.38. During 2012, our precipita-
tion was 5.26" below normal. From
September 2011 through December
2011, we were 1.37" below normal.
So, by March 2013, we were 7.34
below normal for annual precipita-
tion. Thanks to the 5.22 we have
received in the past few days, we
are catching up however, we are
still a bit behind. (Is that all clear
as mud? And yes, that's a pun.)
Our week was busy here. I was
in Pierre Wednesday, getting
stocked up and prepared for lots of
company over the weekend.
Wednesday afternoon, Dan and
Barb Neuhauser arrived from their
home in Olympia, Wash., and our
friends, Bob and Sharel Spears,
Kadoka, also came to visit and
spend the night. Friday, all four of
our children and their families ar-
rived, as did our nephew, Justin,
and his wife, Sarah Neuhauser,
Watertown. Lori brought three of
her friends from Washington,
D.C., they spent Thursday and
Friday touring the Black Hills and
Badlands, and spent Friday night
through Sunday here at the ranch.
We branded Saturday and we cele-
brated the rain Saturday night. By
8 a.m. Monday, all the company
was gone. It was wonderful to have
everyone here, but now I'm ready
for a nap!
Today, I am so grateful for the
rain. Things were getting a little
desperate as far as moisture goes,
and this rain is the answer to many
prayers. I plan to keep praying for
rain,intermixed with some warmth
and sunshine!
I will be gone next week, so I
won't be submitting any news.
Hope you all have a wonderful cou-
ple of weeks! Get out and smell the
lilacs!

Knight Soda Fountain has been in-
stalled by the Severin Drug Co.

cilities are proved for keeping

Mr. Knutson narrowly escaped a
terrible injury to his leg this week.
We dont have the particulars, and
arent able to get Knutsons on the
phone this morning to find out, but
it seems that Mr. Knutson had got-
ten stuck in the mud with the trac-
tor and Fred Malloy was helping
him out with his tractor. Mr. Knut-
son had got off to fix something, un-
known to Fred, who started up,
catching Mr. Knutsons leg be-
tween two pieces of iron, where it
seemed inevitable that the leg
would be broken or cut off. Just
then the chain broke, certainly a
most fortunate accident.

Recent storm brings more than
moisture It all began about noon
last Friday, when weather reports
were cautioning of tornado watches
for most of western South Dakota.
About 3:00 p.m. winds began pick-
ing up along with suspicious clouds
building in the Black Hills area. By
5:00 p.m. it had begin to rain and
hail in the Wall area, moving in a
north-easterly direction. Winds es-
timated to reach velocities between
70 and 80 mph, left its toll of dam-
age, blowing over campers, mo-
torhomes, tractor trailers, twisting
and up-rooting highway signs, pole
building, and garage at Fred Wolf
ranch, east of Wall.
The heaviest loss reported was
that of Arthur and Judy Hanson
residence in northwest Haakon
County, when their modular home
was turned into a total loss, as was

ing cattle, Tuesday afternoon, Ned
Ronning met with what might have
been a very serious accident, when
his large sedan left the road and
turned over an embankment about
three miles south of Milesville. A
cloudburst in that section had
caused the road to be in a slippery
condition and Mr. Ronning had
been obliged to stop and put the
chains on his car. He had not gone
but just a short distance after put-

A heartfelt thank you for all you
have done for the family in help-
ing us through a very difficult
time, once again. How blessed
we are to have you in our commu-
nity. You combine professional-
ism and efficiency with kindness
and compassion confirming that
this is not just a business, but
that you deeply care about the
families you work with. There are
no words to express how much
we appreciate you.
Thank you to the doctors,
nurses and staff at the Kadoka
and Philip nursing homes and
the Philip hospital/clinic for the
care given and acts of kindness
shown to our mother during the
years she was a resident. Thank
you to the family members and
friends who were there for us
during the difficult final days be-
fore our mother was called home,
whether you were there physi-
cally or holding us up in prayer
from miles away, we felt your
love and support and so did
Mom.
May she now rest in peace and
live forever in the hearts of those
who knew and loved her.

Precipitation events continue to
ease drought issues in some areas
of South Dakota, while others are
ongoing, said Dennis Todey, South
Dakota State University Extension
climatologist.
The issue of easing versus con-
tinuing drought is one of location in
the state, Todey said. "Eastern lo-
cations have seen some improve-
ment throughout the spring, while
western areas still have serious
drought issues."
Todey said rainfall from the
week of May 6 and continued
timely precipitation throughout the
spring has improved soil moisture
conditions in the east. However,
some soils are still dry, particularly
deeper in the profile.
The moist, but not wet, surface
soils have made for good planting
progress during the last two
weeks, he said.
He adds that the quickly warm-
ing soils and limited run-off from
precipitation events continue to in-
dicate that surface soils are not ex-
cessively wet in most of the row
crop areas.
Western South Dakota and
some locations along the Nebraska
border are still in widespread ex-
treme drought on the U.S. Drought
Monitor because of little recovery
from last year, Todey said. This is
reflected in very dry soils and lim-
ited surface water like ponds, dug-
outs, streams, etc.
Recent precipitation and
snowmelt runoff has not been
enough to substantially reduce the
soil moisture deficits built up last
year in the worst areas, said Todey.
In northwestern South Dakota
there has been only limited precip-
itation this spring, as most of the
storm events have bypassed the re-
gion, Todey said. Most of the
northwest has totaled less than
two inches of precipitation over the
last 90 days, while areas in south-
eastern South Dakota have re-
ceived six to eight inches.
Looking ahead in the short term,
Todey said a large storm event is
predicted to impact the whole state
this weekend with several opportu-
nities for precipitation statewide
through the weekend, including
chances for several inch totals in
far eastern areas.
This upcoming system brings
another opportunity to ease
drought conditions depending on
locations of precipitation and align-
ment with the driest areas. It will
certainly not bring a widespread
end to the drought, he said.
Precipitation falling on the heels
of major planting progress would
be beneficial to help spur crop de-
velopment in recently planted
fields. Heavier precipitation in
northeastern South Dakota could
slow planting progress for soy-
beans.
The new long range outlooks and
drought monitor outlook align with
current conditions, said Laura Ed-
wards, SDSU Extension climate
field specialist. On the drought out-
look map the eastern quarter of the
state is categorized as improve-
ment likely. The rest of the state
in included in some improvement
category.
The difference lies in that the
current precipitation event has the
better chance of improving short-
term drought conditions in eastern
South Dakota, Edwards said.
Throughout the rest of the state
chances for precipitation are less in
the near term and looking ahead to
the summer. The new long range
outlooks include better chances for
below average precipitation in far
southwestern South Dakota into
mid-summer. Coupled with the
better chances for warmer than av-
erage conditions throughout the
summer, Edwards said the chances
for drought recovery are reduced.
She said that ongoing drought
conditions at some level are quite
likely throughout much of the
western part of the state.
Crops will have more chances to
experience stress with warmer con-
ditions. Rangelands that are
stressed from last years drought
will struggle to recover, she said.
Drought outlook: moist soil for planting
(Family Features) Did you ever
find yourself skipping a meal so
you could enjoy a snack? Well
youre not alone. In fact, according
to a national survey commissioned
by Dole Banana Dippers and con-
ducted by Wakefield Research,
nearly 60 percent of women have
skipped a meal so they could enjoy
a snack without feeling guilty.
With so many hours in a day, its
nearly impossible to just eat three
meals. Everyone needs a snack to
keep them feeling satisfied
throughout the day. However, its
important to make smart choices
when you reach for that mid-day
pick-me-up. Next time you are con-
sidering skipping lunch, keep these
tips in mind so you can have your
snack and eat your meal, too.
Manage Your Sweet Tooth:
Every once in a while its OK to
give into your sweet tooth. Depriv-
ing yourself wont make your body
or your mind happy. So next time
youre craving a sweet treat, reach
for something that wont leave you
feeling guilty. For example, try
Dole Banana Dippers made with
fresh frozen Dole banana slices and
dipped in decadent dark chocolate.
They are available in two varieties,
each with only 120 calories per
serving or less: Dark Chocolate and
Dark Chocolate with Almonds.
Enhance Whats in Your Eye-
sight: You are more likely to eat a
healthy snack if its within reach.
So, keep a bowl of fruit on your
counter to reach for when you are
feeling hungry. And if you find
yourself overindulging at work,
keep a container of mixed nuts on
your desk; they will fill you up
quickly and give you extra energy
to help get you through the day.
Bring Out the Bowl: It can be
hard to stop reaching for potato
chips once you start; before you
know it, the whole bag is gone. To
help keep track of just how many
servings you are eating, purchase
snacks packaged in individual
serving sized containers. If you are
a club shopper, or if you just prefer
to purchase the whole bag, remem-
ber that snacking out of the bag
will make you more likely to
overindulge. To avoid this, put your
snack on a plate or in a bowl; it will
help you realize just how much
youre eating.
Slow It Down: Do you tend to
wait until you are extremely hun-
gry to have a snack? Before you in-
hale your treats, take a breath and
remember that when you eat your
snack too quickly, you dont give
your body time to digest and
process whether or not you are sat-
isfied. Eat slowly and savor every
bite. You will feel as if you are eat-
ing more than you actually are, and
your body will have time to decide
if it is full or not.
So next time that 3:00 p.m.
grumble rolls around, remember
these tips to help you snack smart.

Manage your sweet tooth

Kristi Noem
When I was young, my dad put
us kids to work on the family farm.
We were often out of bed before
dawn, heaving bales, caring for cat-
tle and working in the field. We
also learned how to drive tractors,
fix machinery and put in long days.
Although we didnt realize it at the
time, we were learning about a pro-
fession thats not only important to
our family, but a profession that
provides food for families, our coun-
try and the world.
South Dakotas agriculture in-
dustry helps provide the backbone
and foundation for the values that
make our state great. Our produc-
ers work hard to care for our states
number one industry and they also
teach their kids how to care for the
land and livestock so that, some-
day, future generations can take
over the family operation.
This week, the House Agricul-
ture Committee passed the farm
bill with bipartisan support. South
Dakota producers deserve the long-
term certainty that comes with the
passage of a five-year farm bill and
thats why I worked to make sure
policies important to our state were
included in the bill.
The House Agriculture Commit-
tees new farm bill will save nearly
$40 billion through the elimination
of direct payments, consolidation of
conservation programs and the im-
plementation of the first reforms to
the food stamp program since 1996.
Its important to examine the food
stamp program and close loopholes
in order to crack down on waste,
fraud and abuse so we can keep the
integrity of the program intact and
ensure assistance goes to those
who need it most. I believe we need
to hold the federal government ac-
countable to the taxpayers, and
this bill is a step in the right direc-
tion.
My position on the House Agri-
culture Committee gave me the op-
portunity to help mold this bill and
make sure policies important to
South Dakota were included. I
worked to include livestock disas-
ter assistance, forestry provisions
to help fight the pine beetle in the
Black Hills, conservation and sod-
saver protections, and the estab-
lishment of a permanent Tribal Re-
lations office in the Department of
Agriculture. I was also able to
speak up on behalf of the farmers
and ranchers who were affected by
the Pautre Fire in northwestern
South Dakota and make sure we
included language to direct the
Forest Service to assist landowners
through the claims process.
Im hopeful that we will be able
to get the farm bill to the House
floor quickly and work out the dif-
ferences between the House and
Senate bills before the end of the
summer. Agriculture is such an im-
portant part of our national secu-
rity. The moment we stop growing
our own food is the moment we let
another country control us. I will
continue to fight to get a farm bill
passed that is good for South
Dakota and our nation.

Goal #2: I will become more effec-
tive in my writing skills this year. I
will achieve this by having more of
my writing critiqued by people who
will be tough on me, and finish
reading, Writers Inc. as a writing
resource and continue to submit my
articles and other writing to
www.writing.com for the members
to view and proof my writing. I will
invest a minimum of 10 hours per
week working diligently on develop-
ing my writing skills.
I hope this process helps you as
you put the finishing touches on
your goals, plans and expectations
for the future. As you take a look at
each key result area of your life and
start writing down and/or revise the
goals, methods and timetables, you
will definitely have a better idea of
how you will be able to make your
dreams become a reality.
Honestly, the real key to plan-
ning is just to have fun with it. Do
not let planning be a burden or a
hassle. Just start spilling your
thoughts and ideas out on paper
and then put it into the format that
I have been sharing with you.
Goals, methods timetables
We have been dissecting the
planning process. We discussed the
importance of having a mission
statement and objectives, clarifica-
tion of your vision, being honest
with yourself as you assess the cur-
rent situation relating to the plan.
Now we are ready to roll up our
sleeves and look at the next pivotal
step or rather three steps in the
planning process.
Goals: What are you going to do
to make your mission and vision be-
come a reality?
Methods: How will you make
your goals become a reality?
Timetables/deadlines: When do
you plan to accomplish your goals?
I will share with you a couple of
examples out of my business plan,
so you can see how simple this can
be. Notice the what, how and when.
Goal #1: I will follow up on my
customers more effectively this
year. I will achieve this by making
phone calls, writing letters and
emails, and personally stopping by
to visit if possible. This will be done
for two to three hours each business
day.

United States Department of
Agriculture released its May Cattle
on Feed report May 17. According
to the report, April placements
were much higher than a year ago,
said Darrell Mark, adjunct profes-
sor of economics at South Dakota
State University.
USDA estimated April place-
ments at 1.75 million head, 15 per-
cent higher than in April 2012,
said Mark. Interestingly, this was
only slightly higher than the aver-
age prerelease expectation, but
those expectations varied widely.
According to USDAs placements
data, the largest year-over-year in-
crease in placements occurred for
the heaviest feeder cattle. Place-
ments of cattle weighing more than
800 pounds were up 21.3 percent
compared to last year. Cattle feed-
ers placed 19.7 percent more cattle
weighing 700-799 pounds this
April. Placements of 600-699
pound and less than 600 pound
feeder cattle were up eight percent
and 5.6 percent, respectively.
This second consecutive month
of larger-than-a-year-ago place-
ments is somewhat puzzling amid
the tightening supply of feeder cat-
tle from last year's historically
small calf crop," he said. "Recall
that March 2013 placements were
six percent higher than in March
2012.
Mark said several factors con-
tributed to the 15 percent increase
in April placements.
First, the year-over-year compar-
ison is sensitive to placements last
April. In April 2012, cattle feeders
placed only 1.521 million head, the
smallest April placements since the
current Cattle on Feed data set
started in 1996.
Thus, a moderate increase in
this April's placements was to be
expected based on last year's drop
in placements. Interestingly, April
2013 placements are two percent
lower than in April 2011 and only
eight percent larger than the pre-
vious five-year average," Mark
said.
Another factor contributing to
the placements jump in April was
lower corn prices. Corn prices,
basis Omaha, Neb., averaged $6.79
per bushel in April 2013, 71 cents
per bushel less than in March.
While this didnt push projected
breakevens on placements into the
black, it reduced the losses feed-
yards were experiencing. Likely,
this provided the wherewithal to
pull placements forward as feeder
cattle supplies are expected to fur-
ther tighten this summer, he said.
He added that feeder cattle
prices have been somewhat more
favorable to placements as well.
While yearling steer prices were
relatively constant in March and
April this year, they were off from
their highs earlier this year. And,
they were more than $15 per hun-
dredweight lower than at the same
time last year.
Finally, April 2013 had one ad-
ditional business day than April
2012, which could account for three
to five percentage points of the
year-over-year increase in place-
ments, he said.
USDA reported April 2013 fed
cattle marketings at 1.855 million
head, about 2.2 percent higher
than a year ago and close to prere-
lease expectations. When adjusting
for April 2013 having an extra mar-
keting day, average daily market-
ings were down 2.4 percent.
However, even as the cattle on
feed number continues to shrink,
marketings as a percentage of the
cattle on feed inventory were
higher than a year ago, indicating
relatively good turnover of cattle in
feedyards, Mark said.
USDA pegged the May 1, 2013,
total cattle inventory in feedlots
of 1,000 plus head capacities at
10.735 million head, 3.4 percent
less than a year ago and close to ex-
pectations.
April Placements in
South Dakota Cattle
Down 13 percent
South Dakota had 225,000 head
of cattle on feed - again, in feedlots
with more than 1,000 head capaci-
ties - which is 8.2 percent less than
a year ago, said Mark.
Placements saw the largest per-
centage drop in South Dakota
amongst the major feeding states
again this month, he said.
At 28,000 head, South Dakota
placed 13 percent fewer cattle in
April 2013 compared to a year ago.
Its possible that more of South
Dakota's cattle are being placed
and fed in smaller feedlots those
with less than 1,000 head capac-
ity that are not included in the
monthly Cattle on Feed report sur-
veys as there was some incentive
for farmer-feeders with silage from
last year's corn crop to feed a few
cattle this winter and spring, he
said. "However, data to verify this
is only available once a year in Jan-
uary.
May cattle on feed reports show April placements up 15 percent
by Senator John Thune
Since 2011, I have been raising
concerns about a controversial pro-
posal from the United States Army
Corps of Engineers that would re-
strict access to Missouri River
water and charge users for surplus
water taken from Missouri River
reservoirs in South Dakota, North
Dakota and Montana.
When the Corps built the dams
along the river after Congress
passed the 1944 Flood Control Act,
it flooded prime state and tribal
land with the agreement that by
doing so, residents would have ac-
cess to water from the Missouri
River for various purposes. This set
a precedent for water users along
the Missouri River, and highlights
why water users in South Dakota
should not be required to pay for
water that is legally and histori-
cally theirs. The Corps proposal in-
fringes on South Dakotas underly-
ing right to the water, and charg-
ing for surplus water on the Mis-
souri River constitutes an unprece-
dented power grab and could have
numerous negative impacts on in-
dividuals, tribes, businesses and
water systems in South Dakota.
In September of 2012, I was
joined by Senators Kent Conrad
(D-N.D.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.),
Tim Johnson (D-S.D.), and Jon
Tester (D-Mont.) in sending a letter
to the chairman and ranking mem-
ber of the Senate Environment and
Public Works Committee outlining
our concerns about the Corps pro-
posal and urged the committee to
schedule an oversight hearing on
the issue. Although the EPW Com-
mittee did not hold a hearing re-
garding this Corps proposal last
year, the continued opposition from
the Congressional delegation, re-
spective governors and attorneys
general from our region made it
clear to the Corps that we would
not stand for this controversial pro-
posal to charge a new surplus
water fee.
As a way to prevent the Corps
from implementing this unprece-
dented power grab, I joined Sena-
tor Hoeven in introducing an
amendment to the Water Re-
sources Development Act (S. 601)
to protect states water rights and
prevent the Corps from implement-
ing its plans to charge for surplus
Missouri River water. On Wednes-
day, May 15, 2013, the Senate ac-
cepted our amendment to the
Water Resources Development Act,
which passed the Senate and now
awaits further action by the House
of Representatives.
I am pleased my colleagues acted
to prevent this massive power grab
by the Corps to ensure the federal
government honors the long-stand-
ing agreements among Missouri
River states, tribes and the Corps
of Engineers. I will continue to
monitor this legislation as it moves
through the House and look for-
ward to ensuring this issue is re-
solved and states water rights are
protected.
