Sand County Foundation, theSouth Dakota Cattlemen's Associ-ation and the South Dakota Grass-land Coalition have announced thePat and Mary Lou Guptill ranch,Quinn, as the recipient of the 2013Leopold Conservation Award,which honors South Dakotalandowner achievement in volun-tary stewardship and managementof natural resources. “Having grown up on a farm, Iknow how precious the land is toSouth Dakotans who owe their

livelihoods to our natural re-sources,” said South Dakota Gover-nor Dennis Daugaard. “Farmersand ranchers, such as the Guptillfamily, take great care to maintainthose resources for generations tocome.” The Guptill Ranch is a 7,000-acre cattle operation. The Guptillshave owned and operated this fam-ily-run ranch for the past 25 years.With their five children, they arecaretakers of this special landscapein western South Dakota. The area

features grasslands with rollinghills and a main wooded creek run-ning through the ranch. In 2000, as their children grewolder, the Guptills decided to makechanges to lower production costsand enhance the health of the landto make the ranch better and bringtheir family home. Innovation andchange have been beneficial to theoperation, according to P. Guptill. “The more we change, the morewe learn,” P. Guptill said. “We hopewe can help other producers bypassall the mistakes we made along theway to make their operations work.Our goal is to make the land betterfor future generations.” “The foreword to A Sand CountyAlmanac, Aldo Leopold's environ-mental classic, points out, ‘Whenwe see land as a community towhich we belong, we may begin touse it with love and respect.’ Youare unlikely to find agriculturalistselsewhere in our United Stateswho exceed the Guptill family’s useof land with love and respect,” saidBrent Haglund, president of theSand County Foundation. The $10,000 award and a crystaldepicting Aldo Leopold, will be pre-sented to the Guptills at the SouthDakota Cattlemen's Association'sannual convention in December.The ranch will also be featuredduring a ranch tour this summer. The Leopold ConservationAward is presented in honor ofrenowned conservationist and au-thor Aldo Leopold, who called for

by Nancy HaighAfter postponing the annual

board of equalization meeting dueto inclement weather, the HaakonCounty Commission was able toconvene April 16 for the meeting.

Toni Rhodes, director of equal-ization, had good news and badnews for the board of equalization.The good news was that no objec-tion applications were filed. Thebad news, she discovered severalparcels that had errors regardingsoil acres. With those errors, someparcels were overtaxed and othersundertaxed. She noted the errorsoccurred prior to her taking the po-sition.

After discussing the parcels withRhodes the board approved morethan 30 motions for either in-creases or decreases.

The board adjourned as a boardof equalization and reconvened fora special commission meeting.

Highway Superintendent KennyNeville discussed low maintenanceroads with the board. He informedthem that the existing roads noting

no maintenance are invalid. Hesaid he has ordered signs with thewords, low maintenance, travel atown risk, on them. One such roadis washed out and the landownerhas created an access to his damgrade to make the area passable tolocal traffic. Neville noted that cul-verts, depending on size would costbetween $9,000 and $21,000. In ad-dition would be the labor to installthe culverts. He added that theroad has been washed out for about15 to 20 years.

The board asked State’s AttorneyGay Tollefson about liability issuesshould there be an accident at thewash out or dam grade. She notedshe would research state laws andreport back to them.

The board approved a right ofway agreement with Golden WestTelecommunications for fiber opticlines.

The board clarified that whilethe bid for the sprinkler system forthe courthouse and the Horizonsgroup’s landscaping can be on the

same bid, the Horizons group willhave to pay for the line to theirarea as well as the drip system.

The board approved nine elderlyand tax freeze applications pre-sented by Rhodes. Approximately150 tax exempt parcels, which in-clude churches, nonprofits, govern-ment, etc., were also approved.

Rhodes informed the board oftwo tax refunds that needed ap-proval due to clerical errors. Theboard approved the request. Seventax abatements were also ap-proved.

Auditor Patricia Freeman out-lined comparables in samplecounty support of the poor policyhandbooks that she had obtained.The board members had not yet re-viewed the material which theywere given at the April 2 meetingso discussion was tabled until theMay 7 meeting.

The board approved for Rhodesto attend two meetings, one is inOacoma April 29 and 30, the otherin May for the annual conference.

They find it intheir heart to help others.” Audi-ence members came from as faraway as California and Alaska.Dinner music was performed bythe Twilighters, a four-piece bandfrom Wall. The meal was cated byThe Steakhouse and served by thePhilip Health Services Inc. Hospi-tal Auxiliary.

Robert R. Young was raised onthe ranch where he and his familylive, and grew up knowing you hadto be a neighbor and work togetherin order to survive on the plains ofMeade County. His wife is Susie,and his children are Brenda, Robbyand Matthew. His parents showed him by ex-ample how to help and care for oth-ers. There has never been a timewhen Bob would not lend a helpinghand to a neighbor in need. In thelarge electrical outages he wouldvolunteer his equipment and themanpower to get the power back onand running. Bob has been a faithful and will-ing helper involving church proj-ects, and for the past three years hehas assumed the responsibility ofheating the Stoneville Church dur-ing the winter months. When therewas snow, he also used his ownequipment to clear the parking lot. Bob has been manager of theYoung Ranch for the past 12 years.The ranch has been in the Youngfamily since 1908.

by Del Bartels A special meeting of the PhilipCity Council was called for Mon-day, April 22. Jay Baxter, Philip site managerwith Cenex Harvest States’ Mid-west Cooperatives, presented aproposed plat and improvementplans. Midwest is proposing tobuild a fertilizer plant. What isnow E. Cherry Street would beshifted over slightly for egress andingress traffic. “Traffic will in-crease,” said Baxter. Baxter said that the companywill help maintain the road sur-face, including applying dust sup-pressant two or three times peryear and when needed. A waterline will have to be moved to thesouth and circled back around. Asanitary sewer main will be hookedinto. There is a storm sewer linethat may have to be improved. Baxter provided material safetydata sheets on five possible types offertilizer that could be produced atthe plant. Currently, Midwest han-dles only three of the five. All fiveare non-flammable. With a biggerplant, Midwest will be able to han-dle more if the market place has aneed. “There are explosives down

there,” said Baxter. “The grain ele-vators is probably the biggest ex-plosive thing there; gas and diesel.And, we are regulated heavy by thestate. We had a federal audit andwe got an A plus.” The council will be kept apprisedof further plat developments andproposals. The next line of business for thecouncil was an update on the PhilipTrails project. In order to apply forpossible grants, the city has to beinvolved. An estimate for an as-phalt covered phase 1 trail thatwould be approximately 6,400 lin-eal feet would be over $319,000. Anestimate for concrete cover wouldbe over $453,000. Possible grantswould be a shared amount, withthe city responsible for designatedpercentages. According to council member Tr-isha Larson, the Philip Chamber ofCommerce will donate $20,000 tothe trails project. Referring to theconcrete option, “It’s better to dosomething that you aren’t going tohave to maintain,” said Larson.Mayor Mike Vetter said, “My con-cern is, tight as our budget hasbeen, that the city may get anamount that the city can’t match.”Finance Officer Monna Van Lint

said, “If you can’t use it, you can re-spectively decline the grant.” The council approved Resolution#2013-05, authorizing the city toapply for a grant through theSouth Dakota Game, Fish andParks’ South Dakota RecreationalTrails Program. The city will haveto match 20 percent of the projectcosts via cash, and equipmentand/or labor. The council also ap-proved Resolution #2013-06, au-thorizing the city to apply for agrant through the South DakotaDepartment of Transportation’sTransportation Alternative Pro-gram (TAP) funding. Here, the citywould match just over 18 percent ofthe project costs. The city is looking into ease-ments for the trail project, and ifdonated use of equipment and vol-unteer labor can count toward itsshare of matching costs. On the Wood Avenue andWalden Avenue ImprovementsProject, the council approved atemporary construction accesseasement with Michael and TinaNoteboom. The area will be re-seeded when the project is com-pleted. Residential garbage collection forresidents in the Wood and Walden

Midwest Cooperatives proposes fertilizer plant in Philiparea during the construction proj-ect is a concern. Residents areasked to put their garbage out onthe curb, and the city will pick it upfor further pickup by the waste col-lection company. According to a lowbid acceptance, the city will beswitching garbage haulers comeJune. D&T Auto Parts, Dale Morrison,has withdrawn a building permitapplication for a 40’x 368’ accessroad across a drainage ditch. Thatapplication has been replaced withone for a 24’x 300’ access roadacross the drainage ditch. This ap-plication was tabled due to conflictswith who has permitting rightswithin the drainage area. Other approved building permitsinclude Mitzi Boyd for an emer-gency sewer line repair, Beau Rav-ellette for a sewer line repair or re-placement, Tena Slovek to demol-ish a structure at 102 N. StewartAvenue, James and Betty Smith toput in block steps, Josh Tatum toput up a fence, and Rick and SelmaThorson for a sidewalk replace-ment. Two special events applicationswere approved. One was by thePhilip Chamber of Commerce for

Scotty Philip Days activities, June14-16. The other was for the PhilipVolunteer Fire Department’s an-nual demolition derby, June 15. The city approved a plat of Lot17-A, a subdivision of previouslyplatted Lots 17 & 18 of Outlot R –where Marty Hansen plans tomove a house. The city will be represented byits mayor and one council memberon the joint governing board withthe school district for maintainingthe Memorial Field Park. The council will look into anypossibilities for increasing wateravailability at the Philip Airport.particularly for use by commercialaerial spraying companies. The council established thewage, including mileage, for Bran-don Boyd, as an additional policeofficer, for Friday, June 14, duringthe Scotty Philip Days weekend. The South Dakota MunicipalLeague District 8 annual meetinghas been scheduled for Tuesday,April 30, in Murdo.

Lookin’ Around by Syd Iwan

I’ve had to be on my best behav-ior all week. We’ve had ministersdropping by right and left. Onewants to give a good impressionand all that. This might includekeeping your clothes hung up in-stead of draped around on the fur-niture. Naturally, if you have anywhiskey bottles or poker chipslying about you might want to putthose under cover. Actually, wenever have any whiskey bottles orpoker chips to worry about, but youget the idea. As a kid, I remember my momalways hiding any decks of cardsthat were visible when a certainminister came to call. I’m not sureif the reverend was against allcards or maybe just gambling, butMom wasn’t taking any chances.The folks were avid whist andbridge players, and Dad playedmany other games including crib-bage, five-hundred etc. I couldn’tsee much wrong with those activi-ties so hiding cards seemed a bitodd to me. I always chuckle when I think ofone local fellow who got a visitfrom his priest. This guy’s normalspeech was liberally sprinkled withswear words. He barely said any-thing without adding some cursesfor emphasis. Anyway, in the pres-ence of the priest, he was barelyable to talk for fear of saying thewrong thing. He got through thevisit by saying very little, but hewas fairly tongue-tied all throughit and he wasn’t a quiet man by na-ture. This is somewhat similar to see-ing a police car when you’re outdriving. You just naturally slowdown whether or not you’re speed-ing. You might even cast around inyour mind for any other possibleviolations of law that might be no-ticeable. In this area, we are some-what prone to making U-turns inthe middle of Main Street in orderto park in front of a certain storeinstead of across the street from it.This is frowned on in some townsso seeing a police cruiser might in-spire us to drive around the blockso we can park where we wantwithout making a U-turn. Onelocal store has a parking lot acrossfrom them so I have found myselfsometimes going into that lot,turning around, and driving acrossthe street to park in front. I’m not

exactly sure if that is more law-abiding than making a Uee, but Ido it anyway. By one local town on the Inter-state, experience has taught methat the Highway Patrol likes tosneakily park between lanes justover one little knoll. That way, youdon’t see the patrol car until it istoo late to reduce speed if neces-sary. It catches a lot of people un-aware if you go by the speedingtickets published in the paper fromtime to time. Naturally, when I amin that area, my speed is strictlywithin the limit which it mostly isanyway, but occasionally I’m goinga mile or two faster than what isallowed. All of this behavior modificationis naturally geared to making agood impression on someone orother. We want them to think wellof us, and many women especiallywant their houses shipshape be-fore having visitors. I recall whenit was Mom’s turn to host LadiesAid (church women’s group,) shewould often enlist my help in vac-uuming, dusting, washing win-dows and the like. It was impor-tant to her for things to look niceso I didn’t object all that much tohelping, but I was also relievedwhen it was over so I could go backto not worrying about being ex-tremely tidy all the time. The best thing to do, obviously,is to always live in such a way thatthere is nothing objectionable inyour behavior or lifestyle to worryabout. Sometimes that is tricky, ofcourse, so we have to occasionallymake last minute corrections. Better yet, just associate withthose people who like you as youare and are somewhat blind toyour faults. They shouldn’t be com-pletely blind since friends some-times need to help you steer a bet-ter course, but somewhat blind.The other evening, our ministerasked if he could catch a ride backto his home after a meeting at thechurch since his wife needed theircar to take someone else home. Isaid, “Sure. Just give me a minuteto clear out the beer cans.” Garyjust laughed and said, “I won’tlook.” That really is what isneeded. Friends who don’t look, or,if they do, still think the best of youand like you anyway.

Water warning ... by Del Bartels

For years as a young child I looked forward every summer to my fam-

ily spending many Saturdays at Roughlock Falls in Spearfish Canyon.

Then, my world was simpler, seemingly safer. The canyon and the cold

waters were still a best-kept secret of the Black Hills.

My dad would take life easy, usually napping on a blanket on the

grass under a tree, after a week of working at Homestake Gold Mine.

Mom would busy herself with reading, putting out the picnic, clearing

up the picnic, and expressing wonder at whatever my brother and I

brought back from our excursions. Those treasures would include snail

shells found at the creek’s edge, leaves with insect sacks still clinging

to them, old bird’s nests, fallen branches that had interesting knotholes

in them, and walking sticks that were carved by us beginning whit-

tlers. We wandered the creek and paths, climbed trees, and always

failed at talking ourselves into wading under the falls.

My parents were calm about our wanderings. I hated cold water,

thus I didn’t actually get in any that I couldn’t very easily step out of.

My brother would boldly do absolutely anything, but only if he could

talk me into doing it with him. Thus, we were relatively safe.

Often, extra caution came by way of an old man who warned us and

any other kids who might be there that the creek could sweep kids to-

ward the falls, and nobody wanted to go down the falls. Rocks hurt.

The grizzled guy had a knotty pine cane, wore a salt-and-pepper beard,

and peered from under the shadow of a dark, brimmed hat that wasn’t

quite a cowboy hat. I wouldn’t see him all day, but somehow his croak-

ing voice came to us from a picnic table, the steps to a walk bridge, or

a tree stump where he was sitting. His voice never surprised us, mak-

ing us jump or lose our balance as we stretched over the water playing.

It came calmly, but it always made me step back, eventually finding

some other interest and wonder than the water.

One summer, I was old enough, and brave enough, to actually

shadow some teenagers in wading under the falls. It was freezing, slip-

pery, and the semi-cave under the falls was depressingly dark except

for the blinding light glittering through the pounding torrent of water.

I was chilled, bruised from falls, but had fun. It was anti-climatic,

though; the fear that stopped me from going before was the real ad-

venture.

One of the older teens overheard me tell my brother that we didn’t

have to be warned by that old man any more, we were big enough to go

under the falls. The boy asked me about the old man, then described

him exactly. He said that it was his grandfather, who had warned him

and all his older brothers, sisters, cousins of the water when they were

little. It seemed to be the old man’s mission in life. The boy said that

his grandfather had died about 10 years before.

The freezing water became even colder. I didn’t understand. I knew

the old man – heard him and seen him. But I was only 11 years old.

personal experience, Wayne hasbrought over his lawn aerator,plugger and sweeper so we canready our lawn for the summer. Wedon't even have to ask. When thetime is right they show up in ouryard. One time Wayne was talking toa young couple and they werewanting to build a deck onto theirhouse. The next morning Waynewas there early to start theprocess. This is typical of whatWayne does for his neighbors. Wayne is well known not just inthe Wall area, but also in the sur-rounding communities. Havingworked for Golden West Telecom-munciations for 34 years before re-tiring, Wayne has made friendswherever he has been. Wayne is al-ways looking out for his neighbors.If someone is gone for a while hewill check on their property to seeif everything is okay. I know if weare gone, our place will be welltaken care of. Wayne has been the WallMethodist Church's chair of thetrustee's committee twice. He iscurrently serving in that position.Both times a major project neededto be done. Both times Wayne hasgone out into the community toraise money for said projects. With-out his leadership these projectswould not have been completed ina timely fashion. Wayne is a stand-ing member of the Wall UnitedMethodist men's organizationwhere he has helped in a variety ofdifferent projects. You just knowthat he is going to be there. Wayne has also been the youth

leader for the Wall UnitedMethodist Church. He made surethat in the winter months theyouth group would do somethingspecial every four weeks. This in-cluded things like going skiing inthe hills or swimming at EvansPlunge in Hot Springs. As I stated earlier, Wayneworked for Golden West for 34years. He is now retired along withhis wife, Gwen. During his tenureat GWTC Wayne attended count-less seminars and classes to staycurrent with the ever-changing andexpanding technologies that are atthe forefront of the telecommunica-tion industry. Wayne has been involved withmany different organizations. Mostof them involved the youth, but notall. Here is a list of some of thosegroups: Cub Scout leader, Webelosleader, Boy Scout leader, GirlsScout helper, 4-H helper, youthwrestling, youth softball, youthrodeo. He brought back the SouthDakota Rodeo Association Rodeo tothe Wall Celebration after years ofnot having a rodeo. He held the po-sitions of president, vice president

and secretary of the Wall Rodeo As-sociation. Wayne is one of those individualswho makes a community successfuland progressing in a positive direc-tion. The Wall community, as wellas those surrounding communities,are far better off for having Wayneand his big heart a part of them.Wayne was nominated by GalePatterson.

fuel/oil storage regulations The May 10, 2013, deadline forthe EPA Spill Prevention Controland Containment (SPCC) regula-tion is rapidly approaching. Facil-ities that have capacity to storemore than 1320 gallons of diesel,fuel oil, gasoline, crop oil, used oil,and/or animal fat in 55 gallon con-tainers or larger need to completea SPCC plan and install secondarycontainment for these containers.Producers who have total storageof less than 10,000 gallons can self-certify or employ a professional en-gineer to complete their plan anddesign their secondary contain-ment system. Those with storageof 10,000 gallons or more musthire a professional engineer. If you have storage capacity formore than 1320 gallons of petro-leum products, and do not havesecondary containment for thosecontainers in place, it is not likelythat you will be able to do so by theMay 10 deadline. It is recom-mended that you proceed as soonas possible to install secondarycontainment, but in the meantime,go ahead and complete an SPCCplan. If you choose to self-certify, youcan download a Tier 1 QualifiedFacility SPCC Plan Template fromthe EPA website: www.epa.gov/emergencies/content/spcc/tier1temp.htm. A Tier 1 facility must meetthe following criteria: total above-ground oil storage capacity of

10,000 U.S. gallons or less, noaboveground oil storage containerswith capacity greater than 5,000U.S. gallons, and no discharges ofoil in the three years before theSPCC plan is certified involving asingle discharge greater than1,000 gallons or two discharges ofoil each greater than 42 gallonswithin any 12-month period. If your facility has total oil stor-age capacity of less than 10,000gallons and either have a storagecontainer with a capacity greaterthan 5,000 gallons or have had oneor more discharges of oil as out-lined above, it is classified as aTier 2 facility and must complywith those criteria. Tier 2 report-ing requirements and proceduresare outlined at: www.epa.gov/emergencies/content/epcra/tier2.htm. Your SPCC plan does not needto be sent to anyone, but must becomplete, updated if you makechanges to your oil storage facility,maintained in terms of scheduledinspections, and on file, readily ac-

cessible if an inspector asks for it.Storage containers with a capacityof 55 gallons or more must be in-cluded in the total storage capac-ity, even if they are not being used.Storage containers can be takenout of service if specific proceduresare carried out. This can be helpfulfor operations that no longer usethese containers, and may allowthem to drop to the Tier 2 categoryand not need to hire a professionalengineer, qualify as a Tier 1 facil-ity if putting a 5,000 gallon tankout of service, or even drop belowthe 1,320 capacity level and notneed to complete an SPCC plan. For more information, an EPAfact sheet with complete informa-tion is available at: www.epa.gov/emergencies/content/spcc/index.htm.

South Dakota hay prices havebeen at high levels throughout the2012 marketing year. Based onnumbers from the National Agri-cultural Statistics Service, Marchalfalfa prices were at $230 per tonand have remained steady for sev-eral months. The March price forother hay reached a record high of$170 per ton. “Usually, such high prices resultin a shift in production and use.However, other commodity pricesand input costs are higher too,”said Matthew Diersen, SouthDakota State University Extensionrisk/business management special-ist. He added that looking at thisyear's hay prices by adjusting forinflation shows that prices are alsoat record-high levels on a realbasis. “Despite a price index, with 1982as the base year that has doubledin recent years, the real price ofhay in South Dakota had not beenabove $70 per ton during the pastdecade,” Diersen said. The last peak in real prices hap-pened in the 2002 drought yearwhen the price reached $79 per

ton. Diersen said 2013’s recordrates are due to in 2012, SouthDakota producers had expected toharvest 3.5 million acres of hay;and higher expected returns forother crops and drought conditionscombined to reduce harvested acresto only 3.1 million acres. To topthat off, yields were low, limitingsupply. “The result was that priceincreased to the high nominal lev-els and a real price of $100 perton,” he said. Price prospects continue to favorsellers over buyers. “Fall disap-pearance was unusually large leav-ing a stocks level on Decemer 1,2012, of only 4.3 million tons. Thestocks level was the smallest sinceJanuary 1, 1977, following the1976 drought,” Diersen said. He said current stocks are alsosimilar to the levels in late 1989when there were only 3.35 millionhead of cattle in South Dakota in-ventories. On January 1, 2013,there were 3.85 million head. Diersen said modeling historicstock levels and winter use givescompeting views of just how littlehay may be left in South Dakota.

“Usually, much of the hay producedin South Dakota is used for feedand not sold. As part of the collec-tive feed inventory, one could takethe December 1 stocks and usethem evenly over the remaining sixmonths of the feeding year,”Diersen said. He shared an example: on May 1only one-sixth of the December 14.3 million tons in inventory mayremain, or only 0.72 million tons.“Most years, producers try to main-tain a surplus over that level. Like-wise, high prices may mean somehay that was raised for on-farm useenters the marketing channel,” hesaid. “Factoring in the high pricelevel actually forecasts a negativestocks level for May 1.” The high real price would nor-mally result in sharply higher hayacres in South Dakota. Solid ex-pected returns for other crops andthe presence of revenue insurancehave limited hay to an expected 3.1million acres. Diersen said a tightold crop supply, low expected pro-duction for 2013 and no differencein the national picture combine tosuggest high hay prices will con-tinue for the 2013 marketing year.

Tight hay supplies and high prices to continue

*** Saturday, April 13, at SomersetCourt, Addie Rorvig had companyat breakfast, her grandson, NoahLorensen of Rapid City. We had individual peach yogurtfor breakfast. Thanks, very special.And we had cinnamon rolls, so Ihad to have half a cup of coffee! Mildred Young was out with herdaughter, Carol Nielson and theywent to meet Joyce Wheeler forlunch. Joyce had missed Mildred’sbirthday party at Somerset Court acouple weeks ago, on account ofdriving conditions. My daughter, Carol Vogan, Col-orado Springs, emailed that thetumbleweeds, brought in by theterrific winds, are so bulky thatthey need a special crusher. I be-lieve my son, David Hansen, Ft.Pierre, could make such an imple-ment. Are these tumbleweeds thethistles that make expensive this-tle seed that people buy for theirbird feeders? Carol is also moving her chives tomake room for a rock area, and shesaid she is sending money to theSomerset Court beauty shop to getmy hair fixed! Thank you, Carol. The April 11, 2013, Philip Pio-neer Review arrived on Saturdayand I read it pretty much cover tocover. I found a word that I hadnever heard of, vernalization. AndI guessed that it must mean thatthe seed, wheat in this case, needsa certain amount of time in theground in cold enough conditions tosprout properly. Faithful googletold me that was about right.

Sunday, April 14, Stella Hicksstopped by and said that she likesto play cards. She likes the game of“George” and “3-13.” I told her tocome on over and show us how.Elmae Helfenstein said she wouldlike to do crosswords, so I said weshould take the Monday Rapid CityJournal crossword and do it to-gether. (Way to go Vivian. You area good friend. – Betty) Stella Hicks had a visit from herdaughter, Linda Phipps, who camealong to church. Irene McKnighthas a bad cough and did not cometo church. She has a vaporizer andfinds some relief with that. Wehope she will soon be feeling better. My son, Wayne, phoned at onep.m. and said that he had caughttwo fine fish, (now I forgot if theywere bass or trout) and he wouldtry to phone M.R. Hansen and Bar-bie and ask them over for supperand they could bring me along. Ifthey aren’t around, he would comeover to Somerset Court for supperand bring along my income taxwhich he had kindly done for me,so I can sign and write a check.Thank you, Wayne. My daughter, Carol Vogan, Col-orado Springs, is still under the in-fluence of piles of thistles. She hadwritten a Limerick about them:There was a tumbling weed, Whosaid, “I must scatter my seed!” Sohe tumbled around, All over theground, And now there are manyindeed! Monday, April 15, 2013, at Som-erset Court, we had the movie, “Lit-tle Women.” The activity directorstook several residents in the bus tothe dollar store. I had asked I hadasked Sandi to bring me someflower pots so I could start a bunchof airplane plants for the Mayfundraiser for the SpecialOlympics. She brought me somepotting soil as well. Thank you,Shawn and Sandi. Irene McKnight had company atlunch Monday, her son, Stan. Goodto see you, Stan. Pat Staley alsohad company Monday, her sister,Kathryn Dennis, and her niece,Marilyn, of Rapid City who came

and took Pat out for lunch. Happy birthday to my grandson,Blaise Hansen, Cheyenne, Wyo. Herecently finished studies whichgrant him the title of professionalengineer. He had graduated fromSouth Dakota School of Mines andwas also in the Army as a ranger.Most recently, he is working for theWyoming Department of Trans-portation. An email just came from BettyJean LaBeau, Philip. Thank you,Betty Jean. She said she was gladwe take up quilting when theweather is confining. No time to bebored. She said we were blessedwith the recent snow and rain. Iwas just going to email Betty Jeanto ask her if she knew any Jarlfamily from Philip or Midland. Iwas pretty sure I had heard ofEmma Jarl. Anyway, when M.R.Hansen and I were playing scrab-ble, we found in the scrabble bookthe word, jarl, meaning a Scandi-navian nobleman. April 14, 2013, at 3:00 p.m. atthe SDSM&T Surbeck Center, aleadership awards reception andleadership hall of fame inductionwas held. M.R. Hansen attended ashe was receiving recognition as anoutstanding student organizationadvisor. April 15, M.R. Hansen came totake me to Wayne Hansen’s forsupper. First time I have been outsince February when we went toPhilip. Somerset Court is displaying ahuge, gorgeous floral arrangementin the front lobby. The flowers arefrom the funeral of Ronald Bailie. At Somerset Court Tuesdaybingo winners were Doris Well-man, three times, Mary Lou Pe-ters, Irene McKnight, Irene Cox,Betty Downen, and Ina Oerlline. For snack and chat, followingbingo, the treats were chocolatebrownies, ice water and hot coffee. Saturday, April 20, 2013, abrunch will be served to people whovolunteer at Somerset Court. Thisincludes Amy Voles, personal at-tendants and our ministers andtheir wives and Women Who Care. We have a new resident at Som-erset Court, Shirley Hussman.Shirley is a longtime friend of Con-nie Stevens. Dennis Eliason, ournew driver, used to live at Philipfor 12 years, some time ago. Hiswife had the variety store in Philip.

Dennis said he would be looking inthe Pioneer Review to see if he stillknew some of the people. April 19, 2013, I took a trip to Dr.Eaton’s office and he looked meover and prescribed amoxicillinand nose drops for my coughs,sneezes, runny nose and aches andpains. We were to start the antibi-otic that night. The April 18, 2013, Philip Pio-neer Review arrived on Friday. Ithad all the main local news. Oneitem I could relate to was JessicaWheeler’s third grade class andtheir study of a cow’s eye. ThePhilip meat locker donated thecow’s eye. It is a wonderful lessonto read print through the lens in acow’s eye. When I taught at theShoun School over by New Under-wood, my pupils and I took a hikeout in a neighborhood pasture, anddug out a cow’s eye from a carcass.We took it to school and studied itand read print through it. I liked Mary Eide’s story aboutan old neighbor, John Cowen. Johnlived a couple of miles north ofPhilip and he used to go by with histeam and wagon on his way town.

He would strip the wagon to itsrunning gears, the better to bringback posts, boards, wire and five-gallon cans. He lived in a party un-derground home. His sister was al-ways after him to have a nicehouse, so she built him a little con-crete block building. By and by, shetook him back to Iowa to live withher. One time, Virgil invited JohnCowen in to have a bath in ourbath tub. We could hear himsplashing and singing in the bath-room. The West Central Electric maga-zine carried a list of upcomingevents. Among them were theShrine Circus, May 3-5, at theRushmore Plaza Civic Center inRapid City. Somerset Court willtake residents to this event if theywish to go. The circus is free. If youwant snacks or souvenirs, youmust bring your own money. Another item that I noticed onthe list is May 12, 2013, from 1-4p.m. at an art gallery’s Mother’sDay open house. This is an outdoorevent, so weather permitting. Theiron work there is unique.

As I looked out the window, thegreen grass is really coming to life.Robins dot the backyard, inter-spersed with meadowlarks, maybethey are the early birds that willget the worms. The little finchesare busy rebuilding their nests, onein the wreath on the garage andone where they took over a swallownest over our light. Last year, evenwith the heat, they hatched threebatches of babies. Then came snowSunday night, where do the birdsseek refuge. A hearty congratulations is inorder for Marcia and Michael Westwho were featured in the RapidCity Journal Sunday, April 21, forall the wonderful things they donow that they are “retired,” beinggood neighbors.

Also, the tragedy in Texaswith the fertilizer plant explosion. Monday, Bill and I were in RapidCity for appointments. We had alittle time to spare so we bowledthree games after lunch. I stillhave a little advantage over Billand beat him at his own game. I’d

Don and Vi Moody stayed aroundthe ranch the greater part of theweek and got everything takencare of before the forecastedweather change. Moisture is al-ways welcome. Tony Harty made the usual tripfor mail and had lunch out Mon-day, then visited by phone withfamily and friends. Tuesday morning, Bill and Istopped by Dan Smiley’s shop tocheck out the big door he has beencrafting. It is going to be quite amasterpiece when done. I had atrip for the Haakon County PrairieTransportation to Philip and had alittle time so visited Berdyn Par-sons briefly, and did other errandsaround town. Bill was up to hisusual playing cards and bowled inthe evening. I rode over with Wen-dell Buxcel and kept score, ridinghome with Bill. It was beginning tosnow when we were on the wayhome. Tuesday, Tony Harty got hismail, then went to Philip to getsupplies. He also went to the salebarn and visited with folks whocame and went. On the way home,he ventured off the highway andcaught Don and Vi Moody at theirhome. They had an enjoyable after-noon of visiting about memoriesback when Vi and her mom,Shirley, and Tony’s mom, Mar-garet, and Tony met at RanchersBible Camp in the Black Hills nearNemo. Tony and Vi shared somestories about his sister and Vi's sis-

ter who went to St. Martin's Acad-emy at Sturgis back in the early1960s and several of the local girlswould carpool from Kadoka Junc-tion on weekends to Sturgis. Thatsaved the parents a lot of traveltime. Wednesday, we awoke to wetsnow. Steve Varner picked up a ve-hicle and took it to Philip for somework. I visited Les and MureeStruble in the afternoon as well asstopping by the nursing home andvisited Ruth Klundt and EmmaJarl. About five o’clock I gatheredthe eggs and milked the cow, (inother words, went to the grocerystore). That evening, I visited Bon-nie Riggins at her apartment andshe shared some desert with us. Cathy Fiedler reported that inthe Sturgis area they have also hadsnow, fog and the temperature wasin the 30s the better part of theweek. The moisture has been great,but I’m so ready for some sun andwarm weather. Speaking of weather, for so manymonths the news media had goneon about the drought all across thenation. Grain prices jumpedaround at each report. Now, “plant-ing is delayed” due to flooding inthe Midwest. Farmers don’t knowif they will be able to plant thecorn, soybeans and spring cropsplanned due to all the rain, snowand flooding. Thursday, John Kramer withWest River/Lyman – Jones RuralWater stopped by to visit with meabout some work. Tony Harty cameby in the afternoon and we engagedin the game of farkel.

The riveris running quite full, but dams arestill suffering from the need of run-off. He visited with his brother,Bernard, and Barbara and family.Their son, Matt, and family werevisiting from Dell Rapids, so he en-joyed them. The men were busysorting cattle.

George Gittings and KurtGustafson went to Henry Hanson'sSunday afternoon to get some cat-tle cake. There was rain during the nightand Sunday morning the raingauges showed 6/10s. Not too sureif that was melted snow included,but now we know it can rain too. Acall from cousin John Fairchild inthe afternoon was enjoyed. In Vir-ginia Beach, they are keeping busywith yard work and such. He saidto tell all Aunt Pearl’s bridge play-ers hello. Bill and I went out forsupper and got home before snowstarted.

There is no charge.

(continued from last week) I think we have been fortunatewhen you hear the news and prob-lems east of here in the Sioux Fallsarea. Also south of us with all the badstorms they have been having. The weather has given the ranch-ers a hard time this last week. Theyhave worked hard with their live-stock around here. It was every twohours to be up and checking on them.Then they lost a couple even whenthey watched them close. Wet snowand wind chilled the baby calvesdown fast. I heard others had thesame problems that Marvin andVicki did. Donnie and Justin Poss were upand helped Marvin one day this weekwith a cow that needed doctoring. One thing you can not say is thatthose men and women don’t earntheir pay when fall comes and theysell those calves. There is a lot ofhard work and sleepless nights anddays put into them plus the work ofgetting them ready for market therest of the year. But they like the jobof being their own boss and living inthe country, even if you hear a mum-ble every once in a while, “I shouldsell the whole bunch and do some-thing else.” Especially on days likethis past week. Better be carefulguys, someone might hear you andoffer to take you up on it. Selling out,that is. Some many have been having theflu with the bad cold and congestion.It seems to take up to three weeks toget rid of it and some have had themisfortune of catching it twice. Iknow I had a three-week siege withit and that was a stay home thing, asI did not want to pass it on to anyoneelse. I stayed away from the nursinghome and other places and just wentwhere it was absolutely necessary. Pastor Al called and told me thatMike Seager is doing a program on adisk on the camping through theyears. I should gather up my oldslides so he can have them too. ThenPastor Al wondered if I saw Mae Kef-felers picture in the paper as she wascelebrating her 100th birthday. Whata lady. She helped us at camp up atthe De Kings ranch near Plainview.De’s wife was her daughter and shehad two grandchildren in the camp.Memories we all cherish from thosedays. A kid from Interior who was atcamp was mad at Mae for scoldinghim about something he had done, sohe spiked her coffee with wintergreenchewing tobacco. Of course, she didnot drink it as you could smell thesnuff a mile away. Last Saturday, I went to town toget a headlight fixed and while I wasthere Don Burns gave my pickup alook over and found some things thatneeded attention right away or somedamage may have occurred. So I wasto bring my vehicle in Wednesday,but due to the storm, had to postponeit till this Wednesday, March 17. Itwill work out good for me as I will beable to attend the luncheon at thesenior center. As I did not have news for lastweek, I will add this about AnnMoses. I really enjoyed her 80thbirthday party and got to see all ofher kids. I am sure she had a wonder-ful time visiting and enjoying herfamily while they were here. Therewas a large crowd of friends and fam-ily in attendance to enjoy the beauti-ful cakes and lunch served by herfamily. While there, I visited Shar Mosesand she said that Joan was with theirdad, Clark Morrison. She stated thatClark would be there till the end ofApril. His address was in the paperand he enjoys mail, so get busy andsend greetings off to him. I remember the first time I sawAnn Moses, she was driving a stationwagon in Philip and it was full ofkids. I couldn’t help but think what abunch of kids to raise. But you knowwhat, her and Gay did raise them.

They were all raised in Philip and allgraduated from Philip High School.Some are still living in Philip andothers have ventured out to otherplaces, all doing well for themselves.I have known Ann for a long time andworked with her at Philip HealthServices for several years. Ann is sixmonths older than me. I feel I havebeen blessed to have known her allthese years. Beth Smith did not get to work dueto the storm, but said that mostplaces were closed in Rapid Cityalong with hers. She said that it wasnice to just be home and catch up onthings. Lee Schoniger and somefriends enjoyed dancing in Rapid CitySaturday night, April 13. He had din-ner at Mel and Beth’s Sunday, April14. She said they went up to thegrand march in Wall and Beth saidhow nice the boys and their dateslooked, referring to Cade Kjerstad,Ridge Sandal and Brayden Fitch. Shesaid the boys reported having a greattime. Those cousins usually do whenthey all get together. Herb Sieler said they were homeand calving heifers out and had topull some. They had some loss duringthe storm, as many others did. Herbwas at a conference in Mandan, N.D.When he came home, he found thehighways all blowed off, but it tookhim over an hour to get home fromPhilip, to his place about three and ahalf miles north of the GrindstoneHall. My sister-in-law, Max’s wife wholives in Santa Barbara, Calif., calledand stated that they have had somebad winds there. Due to lay offs andhousing problems, their son anddaughter have moved back in withher. Her son who was one of the en-gineers on the space crafts lost his jobwhen they closed the space program.He was unable to find a job, as theytold him he was over qualified, so hefinally did what his dad told himgrowing up, learn to work a commonjob and use your hands. Those bigjobs and educated people may nothave a job someday and you have toknow how to work with your hands.It took awhile and he was persistentand finally got a job driving the citybuses for Santa Barbara. He said itpays good and he is doing fine and heand his sister are sharing expenseswith their mom. Joy stated this hashappened to a lot of people in Califor-nia the past few years with peoplelosing their homes and jobs and mov-ing back home with family. She said she was thankful she hada large home with an apartment inthe lower level and with them beingthere, no one feels crowded. And it isgood for her also, as she is 86 yearsold and totally blind now. She waspartially blind all her life and was amodel for a big clothing designerwhen Max married her. They lived inTucson, Ariz., for years after Maxwas discharged from the service. Hewent to work for the telephone com-pany and worked his way up in thecompany and then was transferred toSanta Barbara to a very good job,which he worked at till he retired.Joy worked for the Santa Barbara In-stitution for the Blind till retiring at72 years of age. Seems that no one had any newsdue to the storm, so I will bring thisto a close and hope everyone getsback to normal. The weather doesn’tsound like that will be possible forsome time with more moisture fore-cast and below normal temperatures.I am finishing this late Sunday nightand the wind is blowing and it is coldoutside and the cattle all wanted tocome in and get behind the wind-breaks. It will be another long nightfor those calving. Every heart that has a beat,strongly and cheerfully has left ahopeful impulse behind in the world,and bettered the tradition ofmankind. – Robert Louis Stevenson

We’ve got moisture! Isn’t it won-derful? Waking up to lots of snowon the deck, we got the ruler out tomeasure that snow. We had fiveand a half inches of very wet snowand it was still coming down. Thismoisture is truly an answer toprayer! We’ve had more snow thismonth of April then we had all win-ter. The snowbirds will be thinkingthey should have waited a monthto come back to South Dakota. Awhile back, I asked Sophie (Larson)Foley if she had any news. “No,news” she said, “Just busy doing upyard work!” She and her husband,Pat, and her son, Todd Larson,Sioux Falls, had cleared the winterdebris and fertilized the lawn. Thegood news, this was done before thestart of all this moisture. Won’t belong and it will be time to get outthe lawn mower, Sophie. What’sthat, “don’t rush things?” That’scalled taking it a day at a time. Jerry and I were in Pierre oneday last week, as he had a dentalappointment. We met a nice coupleat the dentist office, Blaine andBeverly Kenobbie, of the Preshoarea. When they learned we werefrom Midland, they told of somefolks they know from this area.Blaine mentioned a book he hadjust finished reading and had muchenjoyed by a Midland author. Itwas “Gumbo Lilies” by Thelma(Martin) Anderson. From there wegot to visiting about Thelma andher unusual wit and sense ofhumor. That wit and sense ofhumor was felt throughout herbook.We also talked of Thelma’sfriend, Leona (Lee) Schroader.Thelma (Timmie) Martin andLeona had purchased the home-stead of Charlie and Tena Myr-land. Tena was a sister to Thelma’smom, Dena Martin. Thelma andLeona liked horses and workedhard to keep that place. In lateryears, Thelma married Curt An-derson and Leona married Ervin(Babe) Nesheim. I went to thebookcase and got out our copy of“Gumbo Lilies.” Looking at some ofthe pictures and reading the namesof folks who Thelma wrote about inher book, it brought back memoriesof those people who have passedaway. Having an interest in writ-ing, I used to seek Thelma out, ask-ing questions concerning writing.She had good common sense advice

and because of her I learned of thiswriting course you could take onthe Internet. She had taken it her-self and was satisfied with whatshe learned. Another one of thosegood memories! Guess it’s time to get at thenews for this week! Reminder: The Midland Auxil-iary members are asked to bringfinger foods during the three per-formances of the Midland Commu-nity play on April 26, 27 and 28. Maxine Jones went to RapidCity last Friday for a checkup aftera spinal injection earlier in themonth and got a good report. Hopethey continue to work for you, Max-ine. The ice skating club in RapidCity had their ice show to demon-strate student’s progress for theyear. Maxine reports it was greatfun to watch, with about 55 peopleon ice skates for the finale. Grand-daughters of Shorty and MaxineJones and Bob and Verona Evans,Cassie and Kalli Jones, wereamong the performers. All studentswere in small groups of similarabilities performing various rou-tines to music with a theme. Then,Cassie and Kalli skated as a duo,as did a few other sibling groups.Ages ranged from about threeyears to adults. I received the following fromMaxine Jones. Richard Howard "Dick" Young,Jr., age 75, Unicoi, Tenn., passedaway unexpectedly Tuesday after-noon, April 9, 2013, at JohnsonCity Medical Center. He was bornin Miami, Fla., a son of the lateRichard Howard and GwendolynJones Young. He retired in 1996 from CSXRailroad as assistant vice presi-dent of transportation after 49years in the railroad business. Fol-lowing retirement, he and his wifemoved to Unicoi County. Dick wasa member of Wildwood MasonicLodge #92 A&FM and the Shriner'sTemple in Jacksonville, Fla. Other than his parents, he waspreceded in death by his brothers,Tom Young and Harry Young. Heis survived by his loving and de-voted wife of 31 years, Rebecca"Becky" Blanton Young; fourdaughters, Renee and ReverendJed Scheneck, Flagstaff, Ariz.,Kathleen Young Jeswald (Jon),

Walnut Creek, Calif., Grace Wall(Scott), Virginia City, Va., andTracy Matthews, Johnson City,Tenn.; 15 grandchildren, fourgreat-grandchildren, one sister,Joyce Wildes (Don), FloweryBranch, Ga., and several niecesand nephews. Graveside services were heldApril 13, 2013, at the Oak GroveUnited Methodist Cemetery, Ellen-boro, N.C., with Reverend JedSchenck officiating. Cliffside Ma-sonic Lodge #460 A&FM providedlast rites at the graveside. Music reflecting Dick’s life wasplayed: "I've Been Working On TheRailroad." and "I Love" by Tom T.Hall, as well as "How Great ThouArt" and "Amazing Grace." Many in the Midland area, espe-cially those who lived on the westside of town, will recall when theYoung family moved to Midlandwhen Dick, Sr., bought the lightplant in the 1940s. He continuedthe business until selling to theREA in the 1950s. The three boysmissed Midland desperately afterthey retured to Florida, to the ex-tent that Harry tried to hitchhikeback when he was about 12 yearsold, and later was found by his par-ents trying to buy a plane ticket toget 'home' to Midland. Harry andTom are buried at Midland, theirfavorite 'home' town. Dick returned to Midland andworked on the CNR railroad extracrew, and ended his career as anassistant vice president, a careerhe most likely enjoyed every day of,and continued his interest in allthings 'railroad' to the end of hislife. It is doubtful they ever droveby a railroad facility in all theirtravels without stopping to have acloser look. He was also interestedin old or unusual barns, and hasbooks of photographs of them takenin their travels. Two of his daughters, Grace andKathleen, and their children vis-ited Midland briefly a couple ofyears ago, due to hearing so muchabout it from their dad. That was agood, 'green' year, so it looked verypretty here, and at the cemeterywhere their uncles are buried. TheJones ranch was of great interest tothe young grandsons. Dick was in the class that grad-uated MHS about 1956 and re-turned for many of the reunions inlater years. He lived next door toJoneses and his mother had manyfriends on that street, from EdnaJoy near main street, Kochs, Jones,Sammons, Quatiers, on up to IdaHunt 'on the hill' to the north. Mid-land always held a very specialplace in his heart, in no small partdue to those good neighbors andtheir families. Our sympathies tothe family of Dick Young. Keith Hunt, Christine (Hunt)Niedan and Teresa (Hunt) Palmer,Murdo, went to the fundraiser forAllen Geuther at the Youth Centerin Ft. Pierre Saturday. Roger andPeg (Hunt) Johnson, Pierre, werealso there. Allen is married toJenny, the daughter of Paul andJoAnn Bork. Allen has been deal-ing with cancer and friends wishedto do this event to help with med-ical expenses. There was a silentauction, live auction, supper and adance. A huge crowd was there toshow their support for Allen, Jennyand their family. Paul and JoAnn,their daughter, Shelby, and friend,Gavin Snook, Angie and David An-derson and family, Loveland, Colo.,Kimberly and Luke Nelson andfamily, Aberdeen, were there.Danny Bork was the only one of thekids unable to make it. He lives inKnoxville, Tenn. Angie and Davidwill be moving to Tucson, Ariz. Ourprayers are with Allen and his fam-ily, prayers that the cancer treat-ments will do what the doctors arehopeful it will.

Ernie and Laurel Nemec re-turned April 1 to Midland afterspending three months in Mesa,Ariz. They enjoyed their time thereand had some Midland area visi-tors during their stay at Mesa. Ontheir way home, they stopped inColorado City, Colo., to visit Boband Doris Sheeley. They attendedEaster Sunday service with themand joined part of their family fordinner in Colorado Springs, Colo.Later that day, they stopped inDenver, Colo., to visit Bev Johnson.Their daughter, Becky and RobThompson and Josiah, Sioux Falls,came for a visit the weekend ofApril 6. Chauncey Trapp escortedValentina Diolaiti, a foreign ex-change student from Italy, to the T.F. Riggs High School prom Satur-day. The theme for this year’s promwas “Masquerade.” Following theprom, they attended the post promat the bowling alley. Some of theactivities at post prom were a hyp-notist, bowling, billiards, a huntingsimulator, twister, and card games.Mike, Debbie, and Cassidy Trappattended the grand march at theprom. Valentina stated they do nothave proms at high schools in Italy. Gene Jones left on April 9 goingto home of his daughter, Linda andBrendan Giltner’s in Meriden,Kan., spending a couple of nights,hoping to watch track meets. Theywere canceled due to weather.Linda went with her dad to Texaswhere they enjoyed visiting withvarious cousins and also attendedthe annual barn dance held at oneof the cousins. They returned toLinda's Monday and after attend-ing Taylor's track meet Mondayand Triston's Tuesday, Gene re-turned home Wednesday.

Bad river Club April 5, 2013, it was good to beable to get together again. Due toweather conditions and other cir-cumstances, we were unable tomeet in March. Only two mem-bers, Emily Sammons and JaniceBierle were able to meet at thehome of Kathy Tolton in February. We were saddened to learn ofthe death of our longtime memberand friend, Edna Joy, but werepleasantly surprised to have ourother longtime member and friend,Maxine Stirling, with us again. Herdaughter, Cherie Soesbe, broughther from Rapid City. They hadbeen at the ranch to pick up somethings she will need when shemoves into her apartment in RapidCity. She will be able to have hercompanion (her little dog) with herin her new home. Speaking of pets,we had a good laugh when weshared stories of our pet’s crazy an-tics. Janice Bierle was our Aprilhostess. Others who were able toenjoy the afternoon were BettySinkey, Isabelle Sampson, KathyTolton, Wilma Saucerman andVerona Evans, who had just re-turned from visiting Arizona. Ourother special guest was CindyKoehler who we hope will become anew member. Emily Sammonscould not be with us. Everyone isconcerned about our dry conditions.Our prayers are that the good Lordwill send us a good old fashionedsoaking! It was fun to get togetherto visit and enjoy Janice’s home-made cranberry cookies and a vari-ety of Schwan’s ice cream. Try theblack cherry. It is “yummy. Wilmawill host the May meeting.

It is Tuesday, the sun is shiningand the temperature was 10˚ whenwe woke up this morning. A bitchilly for April, but we got somegreat moisture, and warmer daysare ahead. The birds and babycalves will be happy about that. Wehumans will like it a bit warmer aswell. Our daughter-in-law, StephanieNemec, called last night as theywere headed back to Mitchell after

and Stephanie’s birthday which isMay 4. Thanks to modern technol-ogy you can do Skype, send pic-tures and videos over the Internet,but it’s not like holding that grand-baby in your arms. So, Barbaramakes the best of every chance shegets. As I close my column for an-other week, I leave you with a bitof humor from Jerry’s Amish mag-azine. A four-year-old was playingquietly while her father, asleep onthe davenport, snored lustily. Sud-denly he turned over on his sideand the snoring came to an abruptend. “Mommy” exclaimed the littlegirl, “you’d better see about Daddy.He’s killed his engine.” Have agood day and a good week!

Greetings from sunny, cool, snowcovered northeast Haakon County.What a surprise to wake up Mon-day morning to a deep covering ofsnow, piling up more and moreuntil about noon. When I shoveledoff the driveway, I found out therewas a lot of moisture in that snow –.54” of moisture to be exact, accord-ing to our weather data collector,Marge Briggs. That brings us to atotal of 2.4” of moisture since April8 – hallelujah! I hope the moisturewill continue, with some warmsunny days thrown in there, ofcourse. We are supposed to havetemperatures in the 70s this week-end, so the grass should reallyjump out of the ground. The snow made for difficulttravel conditions early yesterday.Several folks had trouble navigat-ing our roads because of the deepsnow. School was called off at DeepCreek School because of the snow.I plodded to the barn to feed calvesand cats, and I was glad there wasa tire track to walk in! During theday, the snow shrunk quite a bit,but there is still deep snow in myyard. I guess I won't be hangingany clothes on the line for a day orso. Nels and Dorothy Paulson werein Pierre Friday to take care ofsome business. Dorothy attendedchurch Sunday, and she servedlunch following the church service.She said there was a good crowd onhand for worshiping and visiting,and young Kyler Gabriel kepteveryone entertained. Monday'ssnowstorm kept Dorothy in thehouse – she said the snow wasdeeper than her boots are tall!Aside from checking and feedingthe cattle, Nels continues to staybusy with his picture puzzles andstamp collecting activities. Dick and Gene Hudson were inChamberlain Wednesday to keep adoctor's appointment. Gene saidshe has been spending a lot of timein the house, because the weatherhasn't been conducive to doing yardwork. Grandsons Noah and Averyspent time with Dick and Geneover the weekend, so Gene did a lotof cooking. Lola Roseth attended the nurs-ing home fundraiser in KadokaSaturday evening. It was a tour oftables event followed by a deliciousmeal, and Lola said the tables werebeautiful. Lola's great-niece,Mikayla, (granddaughter of her sis-ter, Gay Tollefson) was amongthose providing musical entertain-ment for the group. It sounds likeMikayla is quite a talented musi-cian! She will be going to China inlate May, and one of the highlightsof the trip will be performing on theGreat Wall. What an adventure! Billy and Arlyne Markwed werein the Glad Valley area last Thurs-day, helping with an auction salethere. Saturday, they went toRapid City to meet their daughter,Kim, at the airport. They had lunchin Rapid, joined by Bruce andCindy Bresee, then returned to the

ranch. They attended church Sun-day, and grandson T.J. Gabriel andfamily were supper guests thatevening. Monday, Billy and Arlyneand Kim headed to Pierre. Thesnow was deep, but they made it.Kim went on to Aberdeen to visitfor a few days, and Billy and Arlyneattended a retirement dinner. Billywas the guest of honor, as he wasretiring as a member of the SouthDakota Animal Industry Board.Thank you for your many years ofservice, Billy! Coreen Roseth said the snow andcold has kept her from makingmuch news. It hasn't kept her fromspring cleaning, however. She re-cently painted her bedroom, andwhen I talked to her yesterday shewas painting her dining room! Wayto go, Coreen! Bill and Polly Bruce had a visitlast Thursday from their nephew,Todd Ryan. Todd is the son ofPolly's sister, Christine, and herhusband, Gary Ryan, of NorthDakota. Todd lives in Nebraska,and he had taken his daughter,Amanda, to Minot where she hasemployment.

tures of their grandson, Seth Joens,at his prom. Mary said both theguys and the gals looked great –sort of a rite of passage for highschool kids. Lee and Mary returnedto the ranch Saturday night. Sun-day, they traveled to Dupree tovisit Mary's sister and brother-in-law, Sue and Vernon Starr. Mon-day morning, Mary hit the road, in-tending to go to work, but the deepsnow made her turn around andwork from home. Max and Joyce Jones had anovernight guest Friday. Theirfriend, Nadine Fiddler, Spearfish,spent the night with them. Satur-day, Joyce and Nadine traveled toFlandreau to a funeral. Joyce saidthe trip home was difficult becauseof bad weather conditions – blow-ing snow, ice, fog. Thankfully, theroads started improving as they gotclose to Pierre. Jon and Connie Johnson were inWheaton, Minn., over the weekendto attend funeral services for theson of Jon's cousin. The young mandied at the age of 33 after a verybrief illness. He leaves a wife and afive-month-old son. Jon and Conniereturned home Sunday. Their son,Avery, is a member of the PhilipHigh School golf team, but weatherthis spring has caused most (if notall) of the matches to be canceled.Avery was to be inducted into Na-tional Honor Society Mondayevening, but that event was post-poned also! Randy had several neighbors infor an evening of card playing last

week. Friday, Randy and I headedto the Black Hills to attend a con-cert by one of Randy's favoriterecording artists, Johnny Rivers.My cousin, Barb Swenson, and herhusband, John, joined us for sup-per, as did our daughter, Chelsea,and her husband, Mike. Barb andJohn also joined us at the concert.Johnny Rivers has produced somewonderful music over the years,and he is still quite an entertainer,although he is no spring chickenanymore. (I guess that could be saidfor a lot of us.) Saturday, Randyand I had lunch with son Scott andfamily in Spearfish. We visitedmost of the afternoon before return-ing to the ranch Saturday evening. This week, I am grateful onceagain for the moisture. There aresome situations in life that you canremedy yourself – car broken? Getit fixed. Equipment need updated?Start shopping. But when there aresuch devastating drought condi-tions, there is not much you can dobut wait and pray. We can decreasethe livestock numbers, we can putin water lines to make sure the re-maining livestock have water, butwe can't make it rain. So, thankGod for the moisture! And I intendto keep praying for more! Thisdrought is still a long way frombeing over. Enjoy your week! And startstretching those muscles – it willsoon to time to start mowing, till-ing, painting, and all those otherspring time activities!

Moenville News(continued from page 6)

(this week’s news) A correction in the story aboutJohn Cowen, I stated that hishouse was used for cattle feed. Thisis not true as the cattle feed wasstored in a schoolhouse that is onthe property instead of the house. Bev McDaniel called me Wednes-day morning after the storm toshare the beauty she was privi-leged to see. She said that therobins use her place as a stop whenthey migrate as they like the treesand the berries they can feed on.Bev said that there were hundredsof robins out on the fresh snow andin among them was this little bril-liant bluebird that stood out. Shesaid she just loved watching them.I don’t know much about bluebirds,but wonder if he could have lost hismate and just got in with therobins for protection to get wherehe was going. Mother Nature has away of protecting its creatures andgets them where they are supposedto be. I did not call for news this weekas everyone had their hands fullgetting things back together afterthe storm. Some of the storiesaround this area related that theyhad lost some calves. Some jumpedinto the tire tanks and chilled todeath, others wandered into waterholes, and some, that were layingdown all during the storm, did noteat and when they did get up andtake on a feed, they died of overeat-ing. Some stated that they lostcows that got on their backs over adrift. My, what else can they do tokill themselves! I remember one time duringcalving season, a cow went out inthe middle of the dam and stoodthere and dropped her calf in thewater and of course he drowned. Iended up milking that cow all sum-mer and she was a very gentle cowand gave lots of milk. But, Kennethwas so mad he said he should haveshot her. Of course he didn’t. Theykill themselves fast enough with-out shooting them and you tryawful hard to save them. After everyone got things backtogether this week, many went totown Saturday night just to relax alittle and enjoy hearing how every-one else was doing. Sometimes youjust have to get away from it all fora little while so you have enoughenergy to start over again. Good news is that it is to warmup to near 60˚ by this weekend. We

may get some spring weather afterall. Marvin, Vicki and Mary Eideand Rita Ramsey attended churchservices at the Evangelical FreeChurch at Milesville Sunday, April21, as grandson Aven Fitch wasbeing dedicated during the service.After the service, we all enjoyedbrunch. The church has 8:00 a.m.services and the ladies take turnsbringing food and serving it everySunday after church. I was able tocome home and not cook a dinner. Sunday afternoon, April 21,Vicki Eide visited her grand-mother, Dorothy Urban, for awhile. This will end the news for thisweek and last week’s news will becontinued so will make for lots ofnews. We have had trouble withthe storms, but we still need moremoisture and it can come in somewarm rains if we could order whatwe want, but there is someone big-ger than we are who will decidethat when the time is right. Heknows what is best for us. Remem-ber we don’t know why. We justhave to pray and leave it up toHim. Only He knows what is bestfor us. Sometimes when everythingis going great, we often forget togive praise and thanks. Touch the earth, love the earth,her plains, her valleys, her hills, herseas; rest your spirit in her solitaryplaces. – Henery Beston

The City of Faith will use an$800,000 grant to build a multi-usecommunity safe room that canserve as a public shelter against se-vere storms. The funding comes through theHazard Mitigation Grant program,a 75/25 percent federal-to-localmatch program, according to NicolePrince, hazard mitigation officerfor the South Dakota Office ofEmergency Management. “The federal share is throughFEMA (Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency), and while thismulti-purpose room may be used asa gym and cafeteria for the Faithschool, it will be designed to offerwhat is called ‘near absolute pro-tection’ to occupants during ex-treme wind storms and tornadoes,’’Prince said. The city’s application for thegrant said that Faith typically ex-periences at least two extreme

wind events a year. In the past 30years, those storms have caused 40reported injuries and more than $8million in property and crop dam-age. In the summer of 2006, two ex-treme wind storms downed trees,knocked out power and causedmore than $250,000 in damage inFaith. In the past, citizens in the areatook shelter at the school duringmajor storms. That structure wascondemned in 2004 and later torndown, leaving area residents with-out a public shelter. The new saferoom will have an occupancy ratingof 875 people.

Obituaries

South Dakota animal rabiescases were up in 2012, climbing forthe second straight year, accordingto the yearly surveillance report re-cently released by the Departmentof Health. There were 60 animalrabies cases in 2012, up from 40the year before. While animal rabies is reportedevery year, the disease tends to becyclical, with years of high casenumbers followed by years withlower numbers, noted Dr. LonKightlinger, state epidemiologistfor the Department of Health. “Ra-bies is a risk every year in SouthDakota and that risk is statewide,”said Kightlinger. “Rabies vaccina-tion is readily available, inexpen-sive and important to protect yourpets and the people around them.” In 2012, there were rabies detec-tions in 29 South Dakota counties.Those rabies positives included 21domestic animals – 16 cattle, threehorses, two cats – as well as 36skunks and three bats. SouthDakota’s last human rabies casewas reported in 1970. The 16 rabid cattle in 2012 wasthe highest number of cases in 15years for South Dakota, and higherthan any state in the country. Beef and dairy cattle are usuallyexposed to rabies through bitesfrom skunks. People can, in turn,be exposed by contact with the cat-tle’s saliva. Dr. Russ Daly, statepublic health veterinarian, notedthat signs of rabies in cattle can bevery vague and may start as subtlebehavior changes and progress tosalivation, abnormal bellowing,persistent heat cycles and incoordi-nation. Contact a veterinarianright away if you suspect rabies inan animal, and avoid contact withthe saliva of that animal. “Rabies vaccine is available forcattle but routine vaccination ofcattle herds isn’t practical,” saidDaly. “However, show animals andothers that have a lot of humancontact should be vaccinated for ra-bies starting in the spring. The vac-cine for cattle is good for one yearand has a 21 day withdrawal pe-riod.” In addition to vaccinating petsand other animals with frequenthuman contact, reduce the risk ofrabies with these precautions: •Do not handle, adopt or attemptto feed wild animals. Teach chil-dren to avoid animals they don'tknow and to tell you immediately ifthey are bitten or scratched by anyanimal. •Avoid any animal, wild or do-mestic, that behaves strangely, andimmediately report it to your localveterinarian, animal control, con-servation or law enforcement office. •Do not handle dead, sick or in-jured animals. If you must, useheavy gloves, sticks or other toolsto avoid direct contact. Farmersand ranchers should wear glovesand protective eyewear when treat-ing sick animals to prevent expo-sure to saliva. •Close outdoor trash containerstightly to avoid attracting skunksand raccoons. •Clear wood or junk piles fromhomes to deter wild animals frommoving in. •Do not handle bats. If bats arefound in a room with small chil-dren or sleeping people, call the De-partment of Health, your physicianor local animal control officer. If you suspect rabies in a wildanimal, pet or livestock – or if youranimal has been bitten by a possi-bly rabid animal – contact your vet-erinarian immediately. If you havea potential exposure to rabies,wash the affected area with soapand water right away and call yourdoctor or the Department of Healthat 1-800-592-1861. Your veterinar-ian will instruct you as to handlingof animals involved. If the animalis dead, save the carcass for labora-tory testing, being careful not todamage the head. If the animal isalive, contact your local animalcontrol authorities so it can be cap-tured for examination or observa-tion. If you are bitten or scratchedby a rabid animal, rabies vaccina-tion can prevent human disease.
