By Beth HulmFestivities began early on Friday

when visitors began arriving at2:30 at Grand Electric for an OpenHouse, showcasing the recentlycompleted remodel of the 1956 of-fice area. Other activities, includ-ing demonstrations, led up to the4:30 registration in the warehousefor the 2012 Annual Meeting, pre-ceded by a barbecue. After thatwas over, most of the audiencehung around for an hour-and-a-half concert of old-time music per-formed by the Potter Family of theBlack Hills.

Nearly 200 electric consumersand guests were in attendance, in-cluding Abner and Evelyn Thore-son from Minnesota. Thoreson wasGrand Electric’s first-ever man-ager, assuming that position onJuly 5, 1949.

In his annual report, GeneralManager Jerry Reisenauer offeredsome history, leading up to Abner’semployment as the first manager.It was the “dream” of PerkinsCounty Attorney H. R. Jackson toestablish an electric cooperative inthe area. In 1945, he shared hisdream with John Riedy and, thefollowing year, Riedy and eightothers incorporated the UpperGrand River Electric Ass’n. InJuly, 1946 the first meeting washeld where Riedy was electedchairman. He served on the boardof directors for a total of 40 years.

In the same year that Thoreson continued on page 6

USDA Farm Service Agency(FSA) State Executive DirectorCraig Schaunaman, today an-nounced that USDA SecretaryThomas A. Vilsack has approvedthe closure of 4 FSA county officesin South Dakota, a process thatwill begin immediately. After therequired notifications have beenprovided to producers, FSA em-ployees and office landlords, clo-sure dates will be established andmade publicly available.

“FSA places the utmost priorityon ensuring that our services toproducers remain strong as thisconsolidation process begins,” saidFSAAdministrator, Bruce Nelson.The agency will provide farmersand ranchers affected by closuresan opportunity to choose the mostconvenient neighboring county of-fice with which to conduct their fu-ture business with the agency. Inaddition, all employees in a closingoffice will be provided an opportu-

nity to continue their work withFSA.

As a federal agency, FSA hasbeen affected by widespreadbudget reductions made by Con-gress.

Rhubarb? Really?Although technically a veg-

etable, practically it is oftentreated as a fruit and often re-ferred to as the ‘pie plant’. It ishighly tart or acidic in taste andoften cooked with lot of sugar andhoney to make it edible.. Rhubarbis considered to have severalhealth benefits. Some claim thehealth benefits of rhubarb aremany, and offer a great amount ofnutritional value. Rhubarb in thepast was used for fevers and as alaxative. With the benefit of Vita-min C and fiber, rhubarb offersmany other benefits.

Some of the health benefits at-tributed to rhubarb are:

A rich source of dietary fiber andoften used as a laxative in herbalmedicine both for constipation anddiarrhea. Regular consumption ofrhubarb is believed to increasewhite blood cells in our body. Fur-ther the consumption of this tarttreat is believed to prevent differ-ent types of tumors.

Being high in calcium it is con-sidered the best diet for women as

it prevents bone loss and reducesthe risk of osteoporosis. Further,consumption of this vegetable dur-ing menopause is believed to easethe symptoms including hotflashes. Rhubarb has the abilityto absorb bad cholesterol, reducethe risk of clogged arteries, strokeand effectively reduce blood pres-sure.

Rhubarb has anti-bacterialproperties and is claimed to be ef-fective topical treatment for in-juries. It also has anti-inflamma-tory and anti-allergy properties.The paste of the rhubarb stalk andits juice are commonly used fortopical application. Some go so faras to say it is effective in prevent-ing staphylococcus infections! Thevitamins and nutrients in rhubarbmay help prevent deep veinthrombosis. Being a rich source ofdietary fiber, rhubarbs ensuresmooth digestion. The potassiumin this vegetable is believed to en-hance the metabolic rate, therebyhelping with weight loss.

Now here is where the speed

talkers in those annoying radioads give the disclaimer that all ofthe above is informational triviaabout rhubarb and no claims arebeing made as to the effectivenessof rhubarb for medicinal purposes.

But - rhubarb is ready for har-vest. If you harvest about onethird at a time you can get yourplants to bear into July or evenearly September if you are lucky.This is a drier year so rememberto water your rhubarb for an ex-tended harvest.

A couple weeks ago we wroteabout Plant a Row for the Hungry.Just for added information, wechecked with the local FoodPantries in Bison and Lemmon;both will gladly accept fresh pro-duce. Delivery day for Bison isevery third Wednesday of themonth and in Lemmon it is everyFriday.

In all things of Nature there issomething marvelous. AnonymousSubmitted by Karen Englehart,Master Gardener, SDSU Coopera-tive Extension Service

Lines from the bookshelf

By Vi LeonardAs I write this we are getting

wonderful rain. I am thinkingthat though it is still early in thesummer break, that these cooldamp days may be leading to someboredom. I would like to remindyou that the Library offers manyoptions to alleviate some of thatboredom. It is important to keepkids reading during the summerso they are ready to move on whenschool starts again.

Besides books for all ages, thereare puzzles, starting with woodenones for small hands all the wayup to those that challenge adults.There are also lots of videos. Theysort of fit the category of “oldiesbut goodies”, but are still enter-taining. They are all available forcheckout.

Graduation is still on our mindsand believe it or not Winnie thePooh graduated. “Pooh’s Gradua-tion” by Isabel Gaines builds onChristopher Robin’s graduationfrom first grade. All the friends inthe Hundred-Acre Woods decide to

have a graduation party withawards for what they do best. It iseasy to forget about the really goodqualities that everyone has. Thisis a level 2 reader for those whocan read with help.

Level 1 books are for those whoare getting ready to read. “WeLove the Dirt” by Tony Johnstonand “Swim Like a Fish” by EllenSchecter sound like summer funfor level 1 readers. “We Love theDirt” is about a farm and newways of thinking about the dirt.Everyone loves it except the cat.“Swim like a Fish” is a little moreadvanced and deals with fears andthe triumphs of learning to swim.Another book about the apprehen-sion some kids struggle with overlearning to swim is “Last One In isa Rotten Egg” by Leonard Kessler.Freddie stays in the shallow endwhile his friends have fun divingand swimming in the deep end.Something changes and all of asudden no one is a “rotten egg”.

“Big Red Kite” is a classicBerenstain Bears book. The wholefamily gets involved in making akite for a contest and as usual,with the Berenstain Bears’ thereare obstacles but the moral of thestory is that doing your best leadsto success. I don’t see many peopleflying kites any more. Is it be-cause we have too much wind orjust lack of interest? It can be afun summer family activity.

“The Fox Steals Home” by MattChristopher is a book for upper el-ementary students and is about apopular summer sport. baseball.Bobby earns the nickname “Fox”because he is such a good base

runner. Life would be good exceptthat his folks are getting a divorceand his Dad, who is his coach, ismoving away. How is Bobby goingto keep his life from coming apart?Kids sometime have to deal withvery grownup issues.

“A Horse for the Summer”caught my eye because I knowthat many kids in this area willspend a big part of their summeron the back of a horse. This bookby Michelle Bates and SusannahLeigh is actually a trilogy of threebooks in one with the overall titleof “Sandy Lane Stables”. Theother two books in this volume are“The Runaway Pony” and“Strangers at the Stables”. Admit-tedly, these books are about kidswhose only access to horses is bygoing to a stable. Seems strangeto us out here, but kids every-where love horses and this book isabout the adventures they havewith them.

For teenage readers, the Libraryhas the popular “Hunger Games”trilogy by Suzanne Collins. I un-derstand that these are very popu-lar with a movie out or coming outsoon. These books deliver equalparts suspense and philosophy, ad-venture and romance, in thesesearing novels set in a future withunsettling parallels to our present. Last week I announced the newWednesday Library hours and itdawned on me later that I hadn’ttold you when they begin. It willbe June 13, the first day of thesummer story hours. I hope youwill plan to have your children in-volved in the summer programand then check out books for themto read at home.

Obituary PPaassttoorrss PPeerrssppeeccttiivveePastor Phil Hahn

Grace Baptist churchWell-Placed Confidence

Have you ever had the experience when reading the Word ofGod of receiving instant joy and Peace? There are so manyScripture passages hat show us in whom we can place our

complete confidence and how we can experience that “joy ofthe Lord” and that “peace that passes all understanding.”

Psalm 121 is one of those passages that brings great comfort toyour soul.

“I lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and

earth. He will not let your foot slip; He who watches over youwill not slumber. Indeed, He who watches over Israel with nei-

ther slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you. TheLORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun will not harmyou by day nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep youfrom all harm. He will watch over your life. The LORD willwatch over your coming and going both now and forever

more.”Do you want to have the kind of relationship with God that al-

lows you to claim His promises for your very own? Talk toHim. Tell the Lord you want to give Him your heart and lifeand let Him be your Savior. He will do for you what He has

done for me countless times; bring great joy and peace becausemy trust and confidence is placed in my Savior, jesus Christ,

and His eternal Word.

Annual Meetingcontinued from page 1

came, the name of the cooperativechanged to Grand Electric and itbecame the first cooperative in theUnited States to lay 14,000 400volt lines. In 1952, “line B” ex-tended service into HardingCounty. There was concern at thenational level that this NorthwestSouth Dakota co-op could not suc-ceed because of the high costs ofbringing electricity to a low popu-lated service area.

Those concerns have long sincebeen put to rest. As Reisenauer’smessage moved into the currentday, he reviewed a strong financialperformance, with revenues upnearly $4 million dollars in 2011and the value of the system in-creasing by nearly $1.5 millionwhile the debt reduced by $3 mil-lion. Approximately $1.8 million inprofit margins in 2011 will go backto Grand Electric’s members.

Funds from FEMA and the Stateof South Dakota, following fiveyears of debilitating storms, havecontributed to the current healthybottom line.

Both Reisenauer and SteveTomac, formerly of Watauga, SDand now the Sr. Legislative Aidefor Basin Electric in NorthDakota, spoke of the challengesfacing the industry with increas-ing and expanding oil activity inthe area. Legislation could stymiethe development of coal-firedpower plants. Reisenauer saidthat there will be “a significantamount of new load coming on inthe oil fields” and that many fac-tors will determine where the oilcompanies will spend their money.

The audience applauded Reise-nauer’s announcement that the co-operative has had more than 40months and 350,000 hours with-out personal injury to employees!

Seven employees and three di-rectors were recognized for yearsof service, awarded in five-year in-crements. Gladys Jackson hasbeen with the cooperative for 35years; Reisenauer and BonnieSander for 25 yrs; Colgan Huber,15; James Sandgren and AdelleHeupel, 10, and Brady Hathaway,5. Director Sharon Longwood hasserved the cooperative for 20years, Ross Kopren for 15 and LoriBesler, 5.

Three incumbent directors –Rayford Anderson, Buffalo; Ko-pren, Prairie City; and Reid

Palmer, Faith – were unchal-lenged and unanimously electedby the membership to anotherthree-year term each.

One new employee in the pastyear is Clay Heidrick, a lineman inBuffalo.

Lindsey Hendrickson, Meadowand Tristen Simons, Faith, re-ceived $500 college scholarshipsfrom Basin Electric.

Door prizes were handed outthroughout the meeting and bigwinners included Lenard Chap-man, who won $100 cash playingPlinko at the beginning of themeeting. A Grand Prize drawingfor $500 cash, from the coopera-tive’s entire membership, went un-claimed by Martin Barkley, UnionCenter and, therefore, five draw-ings were held with each of the fol-lowing going home $100 richer:John and Corinne Erickson, AnnaWoll, Ed and Violet Chapman, Boband Patsy Crow and Brian andKay Kolb.

Winners in the kids’ guessinggame contests were WhitneyThompson, Violet Johnson, Kim-berly Langley and ShelbyBertolotto.

Ice cream treats were distributedby employees while The PotterFamily set up to entertain. SisterNatana kicked off the show with aLoretta Lynn classic. Joining heron stage were her mother, CloverPotter a former KBHB radio per-sonality for 27 years; sisterWoAbba and brother Orion andhis wife Stacey. They sang good ol’country classics and some USOmusic, including an Andrews’ Sis-ters segment that included “Boo-gie Woogie Bugle Boy.” There werehits made famous by Patsy Clineand Brenda Lee; Johnny Cash;Jim Reeves; Frankie Valle and theFour Seasons and Skeeter Davis;and a more recent arrangement of"I Told You So" by Carrie Under-wood. Orion did Eddy Arnold's"Cattle Call," complete with theyodel. Several costume changes oc-curred during the show, whichended with all five Potters harmo-nizing with “God Bless America.”

During their program, they in-vited Kay Williams to come fromthe audience, accompanied by herdaughters Corinne Erickson andHolly Waddell, to wish her a spe-cial 96th birthday. Orion Potterserenaded her with "UnchainedMelody."

In an effort to provide every op-portunity for players to becomehighly skilled at basketball, ath-letic director, Kalin Engle, so-licited the help of renowned bas-ketball camp director, Shane War-wick. Shane has perfected thegame of basketball and travels theworld conducting in-depth train-ing camps. The Warwick Workouthas proven to be effective as Shaneworks with several South Dakotateams. Many of these teams havetraditions of consistent state ap-pearances each year. Shane is alsowell known for working with NBAplayers and is hosting the firstever NBA camp this fall in Sioux

Falls. Bison students enjoyed the fast

pace, motivational, and demand-ing skill drill two day camp. Thegoal is to give players the opportu-nity to gain appropriate skills anddrills that they can practice overthe summer. Warwick’s maintheme is “to get better you have togo so fast that you make a mis-take” he also emphasized “youneed to work harder than your op-ponent is”. It was evident that theplayers were gaining skill andspeed over the two day camp.Miss Engle hopes to continuebringing in quality summer campsfor athletes in an effort to enhanceall sports programs.

HS as a Second LanguageThe most misunderstood lan-

guage in the world is Hand Sig-nals (HS).

The culture that uses this lan-guage is a group of people knownas ranchers. HS interpretation re-quires excellent guessing skills, in-tuition, and acute telepathy ofhuman male minds. Hand signalsare basically a rancher’s hand-ges-tured ranch-related instructionsthat his wife (and/or children) isexpected to carry out quickly andaccurately.

Ranchers’ communication styleis typically straightforward and of-tentimes intentionally limited buttheir hand signals make up for it.Hand signals are a complex non-verbal language consisting of indi-vidual dialects all of which havebeen misunderstood for years.Ranch women have participated inan eternal study to decipher thembut their success rate remains low.

One way a woman can figure outa hand signal’s intended meaningis by using process of elimination.Hand signals usually convey thefollowing: “go check over there,”“there’s something over there,”“there’s a calf/pair/cow(s) overthere,” “open that gate,” “shut thatgate,” “block that hole,” “get out ofthe way,” “back up,” “get over therenow.” By quickly assessing the cir-cumstances, one of these is likelyto fit the situation. Occasionallythough, interpreting waving armsmay be mistaken for the hand sig-naler’s intent to communicatewith livestock instead by “shooing”

a cow, calf, or bull in a specific di-rection.

Correctly reading hand signalsis a true art form; something mostranch wives never expect to mas-ter. Misreading hand signals mayinvoke arguments among manyranch couples but wives can findpeace in knowing that the longer acouple is married, understandinghand signals is likely to remainthe same and can therefore stopwasting their mental energy.

Knowing the day’s mission andobjective before starting off ishelpful in anticipating certain ges-ticulations that may be used eventhough plans are subject to changewithout notice.

I’ve found that an effectivestrategy for interpreting hand sig-nals is to pay attention more to thesignaler’s body language and fa-cial expressions than arm move-ments and hand gestures. Study-ing and memorizing the hand sig-naler’s body language when he’sfrustrated or impatient providesgood insight to correctly interpre-tating at critical moments that re-quire acting quickly. It’s importantto note that there’s usually alter-nate meanings to every hand sig-nal.

The goal is to see body language

that appears relaxed in the handsignaler. No eye contact or eye con-tact that is not locked-on and dis-gruntled-looking reflects guessingcorrectly.

Gestures that become highly an-imated, very pronounced and re-quire effort to produce are all indi-cations of lacking good HS inter-preting skills, like a furrowedbrow, clenched jaw, standing up inthe saddle or four-wheeler, or rid-ing the horse or four-wheeler at anoticeably faster speed. Express-ing impatience and frustration sig-nify wrong interpretations.

Knowledge of lead cows’ behav-ior patterns, previous cowherdshenanigans, locations and condi-tions of fences and gates all help inunderstanding what a hand signalmight mean. Getting an audibleversion of the hand signal from anearby male such as a son is ex-tremely helpful in translating HS.

An easy interpreting skill I’veused is pretending I didn’t see thehand signals. This produces mixedresults depending on my actions.

If you have any questions abouthand signal deciphering strategiesdon’t raise your hand, just askaway. We’ll get farther if you justspeak my language.

Recent graduate Bethany LaDue, middle child of Kent and JanetLaDue, has been a busy girl during her four years of high school atSunshine Bible Academy, Miller, SD.

Bethany was a three-sport athlete –volleyball, basketball andtrack; a stand-out in the music program, a student council member,class officer and a homecoming queen candidate.

Her awards and accomplishments are impressive. She was aca-demic all-state in both volleyball and track. She was an all-confer-ence pick in volleyball and earned Sunshine’s prestigious MVP Goldand Crimson award. She was a state qualifier in track.

Bethany was the school’s female vocalist of the year and partici-pated in all-state chorus, a ladies ensemble and a small vocal en-semble.

Scholastically, she ranked 3rd of 20 seniors with her 3.9 GPA. Inan academic challenge, she placed first in the grammar division.

Born on Feb. 9, 1994, Bethany grew up on the family’s ranch,south of Meadow, with her siblings, Brittney, now 21, and Brian,16. She attended Bison school through the 6th grade, completed ahome school DVD program for Jr. High and enrolled at SunshineBible Academy for her freshman year. She has enjoyed her timethere. “I have the best class ever,” she said.

Her class recently went on a week-long senior trip to New TribeMission in Missouri. Bethany has also participated in several “Ser-vant Days” – to Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Wanblee – where shehas worked in soup kitchens and food pantries.

She has been active in both worship team and a ministry team.The latter traveled across the state, performing skits and music atvarious churches, including Bethany’s home church, Grace Baptistin Bison.

2012 Senior Spotlight

Bethany Helene LaDueLast summer, she was part of a school group - “Youth for Christ” - that went to Honduras for 10 days. While

there they hosted Vacation Bible School and a camp for children and worked on a bathroom facility.The spiritual walk that Bethany’s taken while at Sunshine is “shaping me into who I am,” she said. “I’m really

blessed to have gotten to go there.”In the fall, Bethany is off to Omaha where she is

enrolled at Grace University. Her plans are to majorin general psychology and, later, to possibly work to-wards a Master’s Degree.
