The management and operationof the Stroppel Inn in Midland hasbeen taken over by Kathy Jensen.

The message that Jensen isstressing is everything is still openand going. It is still operating as ahotel and a hot mineral bath spa,and has the same phone number of843-2802. The businesss website,www.stroppelinn.com, still an-

nounces it as the Stroppel Inn

home of the hot mineral baths,Midlandss premier hotel and spa.Jensens interest in the business

came through her other enterprise,the Bio-shi Institute. Its a familyowned business, and we have anaccredited college of massage ther-apy mind and body connectionmassage therapy, said Jensen.

Now its all going to be inte-grated, said Cory Ruth, son-in-lawand partner. Were in this transi-tion state. We want people to behere and watch as we makechanges. We want to do a little bitof renovation, said Ruth. Headded, Just a little bit of work clean up the plunges, windowwork make it so it can take a lit-tle more use. A third partner isRobin Freeman.

Jensen said, Its a natural re-source; the mineral content and thehealing of the water. She said thata Stroppel Inn brochure given to

her a long time ago kept poppingup in different drawers and cup-boards. She eventually visited Mid-land, and that first visit grew to befour or five days. Later, shebrought educational class studentsfor training and working with hy-drotherapy. It was just what I wassupposed to do. I was just trustingwhat needs to happen, saidJensen. Now operating the inn, shesaid, We have people calling ask-ing for massage therapy with thebaths, we can provide that.

Jensen said, Thats probablyone of the attractions; it feels likefamily. We want people to havethat feeling when they get here.

As of the first of June, the previ-ous managers, Rueben, Jr. and Pat

Vollmer are living their dream.Weve been looking to go do some-thing else, to move to a ranch justnorth of Midland, said Vollmer.

Well be country folk. Weve been

running cows for quite a while. The

wife and I and our youngest sonrun the operation. She will stillhave a beauty shop; couple of grandkids; youngest son getting mar-ried its time we free ourselves upa little bit. Running a hotel is 24/7.

According to Vollmer, when thenew managers/operators called andinquired, the Vollmers already hadleaving the responsibility in mind.Theyre pretty excited about tak-ing over, and the water is a big partof the therapy. I anticipate thingsto grow. Its a soft water mineralwell. This one comes out at 119 de-grees. It has a lot of healing factorswith it, said Vollmer.

Theres parts of it well miss.Weve met some great people. Withthe baths, theres time when eightto 10 to 12 people will show up.Some of the athletes come; (then)they come back the next week.Weve had a lot of people say Mid-land is a gold mine, we just have to

know how to market it. Our num-ber-one thing is we want to see itcontinue, said Vollmer.

The three new managers/opera-tors came up and got, shall we say,in tune with the operation a bit,said Vollmer. This lady and thisparty is the niche we need. Werepretty excited.

The website sums up the atmos-phere the new managers/operatorswish to continue. If you're lookingfor charming, restful hotel accom-modations in the Dakotas, contactus today at Stroppel Inn. Comevisit us today and enjoy a trulypleasurable sojourn in the country.

Midlands Stroppel Inn and Spanew management/operation

by Del BartelsA statewide, county-by-county

conversation about strengtheninghealth and retirement securitycalled You've Earned a Say washeld by AARP South Dakota inPhilip, Thursday morning, June14, at Pizza Etc.

Haakon County was the 27thsession out of all 66 South Dakotacounties. We always know some-thing good is going on in Philip,said Sarah Jennings, director for

AARP SD, referring to the meet-ings, projects and activities done bythe local AARP, headed by Mikeand Marcia West.

The goal of the discussions is totake the future of Medicare and So-cial Security out from behindclosed doors in Washington andmake South Dakotans a part of thediscussion about the future of theseprograms. The conversation wasopen to the public, not only AARPmembers.

When asked the biggest chal-lenges facing Medicare, individualsmentioned rising health care costs,not enough funding to pay futurebenefits, fewer workers paying intothe system, a growing senior popu-lation and fraud. Mike West said,Once someone turns in a claim,there has to be some kind of checkto make sure that claim actuallyhappened. Don Ferguson said, Ifyou go into a store in Rapid Cityand buy something, the know

everything about you. And the gov-ernment doesnt know this (how tocheck on fraud)?

Bob McDaniels voiced his nega-tive opinion about the current tax-ing system, but we are talkingabout Social Security here. It hasto be strengthened for my childrenand grandchildren.

Ferguson voiced his concernabout possibly raising the age forretirement and for Social Security.Some people who work manuallabor, they cant do that, he said.If people retire later, especiallyafter working hard, then theydont live as long, Ferguson saidabout enjoying retirement.

Carol _______ said, Every timethey do give us a cost of livingraise, immediately the premiums

go up and everything else. I actu-ally go in the hole when they in-crease my Social Security.

Concerning the drain on Amer-icas Social Security, Don Oliviersaid, No person who is not a citi-zen should be able to draw SocialSecurity.

All comments, though not thespecific speakers, were recorded byJennings and AARP AssociateState Director Erik Gailowski. Theinformation will be sent into Wash-ington. Theyve already receivedabout half a million copies of ourresponses, said Jennings. Thefinal discussion session will be atthe South Dakota State Fair, Au-gust 30.

In South Dakota, 137,314 peo-

ple rely on Medicare for theirhealth coverage, and 153,508 peo-ple receive Social Security benefits.

The average monthly Social Se-curity benefit for individuals inSouth Dakota is a little more than$1,000.

Almost 19 percent of SouthDakotans receiving Social Securityrely on the benefit for 90 percent ormore of their retirement income,while 45.4 percent rely on Socialsecurity for 50 percent or more oftheir retirement income.

"These sessions are truly listen-ing sessions," said Jennings. Thedebate over how to protect andstrengthen Medicare and Socialcant be done in secret. SouthDakotans have worked too hard tolet the next president and congressmake decisions about the future ofMedicare and Social Security with-

out hearing from the people whorely on these programs for theirhealth and financial security in re-tirement.

Youve Earned a Say conversa-tions in South Dakota are part of abroader conversations happeningin all 50 states. For more informa-tion, visit www.earnedasay.org.

From 1990 through 2011, therewere 110 animals from HaakonCounty officially tested for rabies.Only nine of these animals testedpositive approximately eight per-cent.

The last rabies positive animalwas in 1999. There were no posi-tives in 2000 or 2011. Last year,2011, there were two HaakonCounty animals submitted for test-ing; neither were rabid.

So far this year, there have beenthree confirmed rabid animalsfrom Haakon County. In April askunk was confirmed, in May a cowtested positive, and in June an-other cow was confirmed as beingrabid.

This is according to informationsupplied by Lon Kightlinger, stateepidemiologist for the SouthDakota Department of Health. Hesaid that rabies is a fatal diseasetransfered by a bite, or by a scratchthat includes saliva from the in-fected animal.

There are only two facilities inSouth Dakota that test for rabies,the public health laboratory inPierre and the animal veterinarydiagnostic lab at South DakotaState University in Brookings. Ifthe head of the animal suspected ofhaving rabies is delivered to thepublic health lab in the morning,results can be determined beforethe end of the day.

Theres not that much rush.Though rabies can be fatal, it is aslow acting virus, said

Kightlinger. Its an urgency, butsomething you can manage.

Kightlinger said that, ideally,the test should be conducted within10 days. An animal, such as a dogor cat, suspected of having rabies isoften quarantined for 10 days whileauthorities watch for common ra-bies symptoms such as change inbehavior, flopping around or act-ing crazy.

Jim Stangle is the veterinarianbased out of Milesville. If you seea suspect wild animal, dont ask

questions, just shoot it, said Stan-gle. If you kill a suspect animal, donot shoot it in the head. If you cantget hold of a vet, it has to be refrig-erated until you do. He said thattesting by the state lab is free ifthere is human exposure.

Stangle noted, We have morehuman exposure with cattle. Itsthat you just dont think of rabieswith cattle. Because one of thesymptoms of rabies is choke, youthink there is something in thecows throat or mouth. The ranchercatches the cow and finds nothing,then thinks of rabies.

If a human has been confirmedto having been exposed to rabies,the old cure required a medical reg-imen of a dozen painful shots in theabdomen, dragged out over severalweeks. Today, only five shots arerequired. The first is a simple im-munoglobulin shot, which theamount is determined by the pa-tients weight, and given at thepenetration site of the infection.The next four shots are given in thearm over the next two week period.If youve ever gotten a flu shot, itslike that. It doesnt hurt any more,said Kightlinger. Its going to costyou over $1,000.

Up to about five years ago, rabieswas always fatal. Now it does nothave to be, if you do super heroictherapy, but generally people donot survive rabies, saidKightlinger. We havent had afatal case of rabies in humans in 42years (when specific diagnostic

records began being kept). Wemust be doing something right.

Stangle added, The primaryreason for vaccinating your pets isthey provide a barrier betweenwild animals and you. He saidthat dogs usually become infectedby skunks and cats usually by bats.

Kightlinger said that skunksare the reservoir of rabies in SouthDakota. Skunks seem to carry ra-bies a little longer, and they give itto their offspring which can pass iton before their deaths. A rabid

skunk may come out in the day-light, will become very aggressiveand act crazy. Sometimes an at-tacking skunk has to be hatchetedoff of the human being attacked.

Earlier this summer, HaakonCounty resident George Gittingsexperienced an encounter with askunk that was later confirmed tobe infected with rabies. He saidthat he was at a fence gate whenthe skunk surprised him and gothold of the pants leg of his bibbedcoveralls.

I couldnt get him off. I kickedhim and stepped on his tail. He hada hold as far as he could reach. Idanced a good diddy for about fiveminutes, said Gittings. Finallydragging the attacking skunk overto the pickup, Gittings used a wirestretcher to kill the skunk. Amaz-ingly, Gittings was not bitten oreven scratched. If itd been regularoveralls, he would have gottenthrough to me. Because of the con-firmation of rabies, Gittings saidthat his livestock were then quar-antined and he could not sell anyfor a months time.

Gittings told of a neighbor whodiscovered that he had a rabid calf.The calfs head was sent in for test-ing and the results were positive.The neighbor, who had workedwith the calf along with his otherlivestock, decided, rather than takea chance, to go through with the ra-bies regimen of shots.

Kightlinger said his departmentdoes not take rabies lightly. In

harder to determine cases, such asa child waking up with a dead batnearby and the bat is disposed ofbefore testing, then the decisionabout the treatment regimen ismade between the physician andthe patient. In the case of an in-fected cow, where cow slobber hasgotten on the rancher but no cutswere present, then taking the shotregimen is up to the rancher.Some people cant handle the riskand are so scared they take theshots, said Kightlinger.

Rabies hits Haakon County

Midwest Cooperative in Philip had two 100-ton feed ingredient bins installed nearits grain elevators, Friday, June 29. Shown is the first being set up. This will allowus to bring in some additional feed ingredients for us to serve our producers,said Philip site manager Jay Baxter. The more storage we get, the more we can

look for more cost efficient ways to feed cattle. Photo by Del Bartels

During Monday, June 18, everyone at the Philip swimming pool was offered a sunsafety demonstration. There were over 150 snowcones given out, and there weregames, crafts and prizes. A lesson on the importance of sunscreen was given byTandis Hoffman and Kim Livingston. On Wednesday, June 20, they also hosted asocial breakfast in the Philip Nursing Home dining room. They discussed theirprojects in the Philip area during their Rural Experiences for Health ProfessionsStudents. The goal of REHPS is to increase the number of health professionalsin the states rural areas. The program encourages the building of relationshipsbetween medical students and rural communities. Hoffman and Livingstonlearned from local doctors Dave Holman and Ceon Klopper, and physician assis-tants Terry Henrie, Janell Gerberding and Dave Webb.

Dote responsibly ... by Del Bartels I once excelled at so many things basketball, debate, sharpshoot-

ing now I drop basketballs easier than bounce them, lose arguments

with myself, and havent seen anything but a deers running rump for

several hunting seasons. I am trying to hold on to the memory of my

exceptional glory by living vicariously through my kids. You may think

that comes with old age, but, first, you have to have some years in order

to have kids, and I hear that you have to have some more years to have

grandkids. By then, youre worn out.

I cheer on the Red Sox because I still want to be on the winning side,

even if my own side now rolls clear around to my front. I cheer on Dale

Earnhardt, Jr., though the local cop wants to take away my license be-

cause my slow driving is a traffic hazard. I cheer on the high school

basketball team, because I used to be young and athletic once ... I think.

I cheer on my children, because I love them and its the right thing to

do, but also because what talents and dedication they display are got-

ten from me. Hey, you believe what you want to and Ill believe my

truth. I used to be able to outrun my son. He started becoming more of

a challenge when the diapers no longer slowed him down. Now I wear

a face mask while jogging so his dust doesnt sting so much.

My superior mental ability still allows me to beat my children at

cards and board games. I was smoking them at Hearts, mostly becausethey mistakenly thought we were playing Wist. They finally admitted

defeat when I began decimating them and hogging the cards at 52-Card

Pickup. My son wont play scrabble with me anymore because of my

renowned vocabulary, even if the dictionary labels most of my words

as archaic usage. I have taught him to throw the ol pigskin and the

ol rawhide, but he wants to throw footballs and baseballs instead.

When I was teaching him to bat, he admitted I have the most devas-

tating drop ball he has ever seen.

We like to hike. The 50-mile, full backpack, double-time fun times of

my youth have been scaled way back for him to under 20 miles. He in-

sists that we even carry water bottles, something about that water

helps quiet my enthusiastic wheezing. We enjoy the wildlife; he says

they come out of hiding to see why Im crawling on the ground. He

should laugh, he gets to sleep while I drive home (and avoid the local

cop). Soon he will be asking me to teach him to drive. He might as well

learn from the best. Many years ago I taught him to ride a bicycle. We

should go riding together again, him on his Schwinn and me on my

Harley-Davidson. We already have plans to go camping. I used to take

nothing but a pocket knife, but a compromise for his sake might include

a reservation at a Hilton with a swimming pool.

I once was the best. Now my son can learn from me so one day he

can take over. Such perfection will probably be impossible, but I will

always cheer him on in his endeavor to be as excellent as his father.

other, I have struggled with all ofthese types of fear in my life and Ihave overcome them simply by fac-ing them head on. It has not alwaysbeen easy, and has always requiredthat I persevere. Sometimes the oldfears I previously faced and con-quered have even flared up again,and I have had to deal with themagain. Being bold and courageousdoes not come easily, but the moreI face my fears, the more courage Ihave.

If you are struggling with fear, Iencourage you to start talking toyourself in a most forceful mannerregarding the action steps you mustand will take to shift your thinkingabout these fears. Then, do thething you have feared to do. What'sthe worst thing that could happen?Is the worst case scenario reallyworse than going through life beingafraid? Probably not.

In order to truly face your fear,you must really get to know it. Iden-tify the basis of your fear; is it basedon the truth, a lie, a feeling or apast experience? Then remind your-self that fear is causing your mindto work in reverse, so the sooneryou can get your mind moving in amore forward direction, the better.Be willing to take a risk, face yourfear by hitting it head on.

For instance, if you are afraid tospeak in front of people, than lookfor opportunities to get up in frontof others. The next time someone

asks you to address a group, sayyou will, instead of just making ex-cuses. Sure it will be tough, but re-member that your benefit will begreater confidence and personalgrowth. Every time you face yourfear, your fear level decreases, untilit is no longer a thing that you fear.

After you've conquered one fear,then hit the next one that is holdingyou back. You'll quickly discoverthat facing your fears will buildyour confidence. So get your headon straight today!

So, what is it that you think islurking under your bed, and hold-ing you back from the success youdesire? Go ahead and take a look tofind out. Take that step of faith. Iguarantee that when you face yourfear, the death of fear is certain!

Face your fear

As I was concluding a conferencesession, an attendee asked me howI got into the business of being amotivational speaker. Good ques-tion, I responded. I went on to saythat I looked under the bed.

It all began when I was about fiveyears old, and I was so afraid ofwhat lived under my bed. I was par-alyzed in fear. Quite awhile later, Ifinally got up the courage to lookunder my bed, and do you knowwhat I found? Nothing. There wereno monsters! My fear was false, nottrue at all.

Years later, I realized how muchmy belief in the reality of thoseunder-the-bed monsters had af-fected my attitudes. I was full ofdread of what might happen to me,until I discovered that when Ipeeked under the bed, and foundnothing at all, that I was free of thefear.

I knew that fear could hold meback from the success I desired inmy life, so I started telling myselfevery day, Face your fear, and thedeath of fear is certain. I alsobegan to tell myself I could do any-thing I put my mind to. I then setout on a life-long mission of helpingothers overcome their fears by fac-ing them.

Of course, make believe monstersare not all we fear in life. Theresthe fear of the unknown, the fear offailure, the fear of change, the fearof what people may think of you,

the fear of what people may sayabout you, the fear of success, thefear of lack of control, the fear thatyou may not know what to do. Ob-viously, the list could go on and on.Understand that any one of thesefears, or others you may think of,has the capability of paralyzing aperson, causing them to be unableto move forward.

Fear is a negative emotion havingtremendous control over us, thatcan range from experiencing appre-hension, to being overly anxious, tofeeling down right terrified of some-one or something. The truth abouta lot of our fears is that they veryrarely come true. Simply put, fearis very often False Evidence Ap-pearing Real

Attorney General Marty J. Jack-ley has announced that the UnitedStates Supreme Courts rulingstriking provisions of the ArizonaImmigration Law does not affectexisting South Dakota law or en-forcement efforts.

While a state should be able toextend its enforcement effortswhen federal authorities fail to re-spond, the Supreme Court has for-tunately rejected the federal gov-ernments dangerous position thatthe power to regulate immigrationis vested exclusively in the federalgovernment, stated Jackley.South Dakota presently enjoysand will strive to continue our tra-dition of cooperative immigrationenforcement with our local federalpartners, which is supported by thelanguage and directive of todays

Arizona decision.In 2010, the federal government

filed suit challenging Arizonas newlaw governing state immigrationenforcement. South Dakota joinedseveral states in a capacity asfriend of the court, primarily toprotect existing South Dakota co-operative law enforcement effortsto ensure public safety, and also tosupport a state extending its en-forcement efforts when federal au-thorities fail to appropriately re-spond.

You need an SPCC plan if: an oilspill from your farm could reachwater and you store oil (diesel,gasoline, hydraulic oil, lube oil,crop oil or vegetable oil, etc. inaboveground quantities of morethan 1,320 gallons, or completelyburied tanks of more than 42,000gallons.

* * * * *Livestock Water Testing

Just to remind producers thatall of the regional extension centersand many county4-H offices havehandheld electrical conductivitymeters and welcome samples.These meters provide an instantanalysis of total salt content thatmight cause problems for livestockdrinking the water, and at no costto the producer.

Rural water and pipelines have

reduced the dependence on waterin stock dams for many producers,but if you rely on stock dams, test-ing the water will help avoid per-formance and health problems.

Elevated salt levels may suggestthat producers should submit asample to a laboratory for a more

detailed analysis, which can deter-mine the makeup of the salts, and

the sulfate portion of the total saltcontent, which can cause specificproblems such as polio.

Extension News

The Senate completed work onthe Agriculture Reform, Food andJobs Act of 2012 (Farm Bill), July21, and passed the measure by a64-35 vote.

As a member of the Senate Com-mittee on Agriculture, Nutritionand Forestry, Senator John Thune(R-SD) helped draft a farm bill thatreforms or eliminates current pro-

grams. The Congressional BudgetOffice (CBO) projects this bill willprovide a savings of over $23.6 bil-lion over the next 10 years com-pared to current policy.

Todays Senate vote to pass a re-form focused farm bill is an impor-tant victory for Americas farmersand consumers, said Thune. Thisbill exceeds our $23 billion savingsgoal under last years Budget Con-trol Act, provides a strong safetynet for farmers and ranchers onlywhen it is needed, and consolidatesand makes common-sense improve-ments to conservation programs.

Thune played a key role in de-signing the Commodity Title of thebill which eliminates the Directand Counter-cyclical payment pro-grams and the Average Crop Rev-enue Election (ACRE) program ata savings of over $50 billion and re-places them with a new AverageRisk Coverage (ARC) program (ata cost of $28.9 billion). The ARCprogram payments may not exceed$50,000 per entity, or $100,000 fora husband and wife operation. TheCommodity Title ARC programwas created using the AggregateRevenue and Risk Management

(ARRM) program Senator Thuneintroduced late last year and whichwas scored by CBO as saving morethan $20 billion over 10 years.

A Thune amendment resulted ina U.S. Department of Agriculturestudy that must be completed be-fore a $750,000 average adjustedgross income (AGI) limitation forproducers who purchase crop in-

surance could become effective largely due to concerns that such alimitation would change the insur-ance risk pool and negatively im-pact producers who have an AGIbelow $750,000.

The bill would combine the cur-rent 23 conservation programs into13 and extend the ConservationReserve Program (CRP) through2017. The CRP enrollment cap willbe reduced to 25 million acres by2017.

Current crop insurance policyencourages the conversion of nativesod and grassland to commoditycrop production. A Thune amend-ment was accepted which will re-duce the amount of crop insurancepremium assistance for four yearson crops grown on native sod andlongstanding grasslands and re-duce indemnity levels to match theproductivity of the insured land, in

order to discourage abuse and con-version of grasslands to croplandfor crop insurance benefits. Thiswill save nearly $200 million over10 years.

Based on a bill Thune introducedto address the pine beetle infesta-

tion, language was included in theForestry Title that requires theSecretary of Agriculture to desig-nate at least one national forest ineach state within 60 days of enact-ment of this bill as a special treat-ment area based on declining foresthealth (such as the pine beetle epi-demic in the Black Hills) if re-quested by the governor of the

state. The Senate agreed to anamendment by Senator MarkUdall (D-CO), cosponsored byThune, to authorize $200 millionfor each Fiscal Year 2013 through2017 for this provision.

The 2008 Farm Bill Authoriza-tion expires on September 30, 2012and unless President Obama signsa new farm bill into law, or if thecurrent farm bill is not extended bythat date, the 1949 Act would gointo effect.

U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) said, The Senate has done itswork. The House Agriculture Com-mittee needs to move a farm bill sothat we can give our producers cer-tainty.

Agriculture is South Dakotasnumber one industry and ourstates biggest economic driver. Itgenerates over $20 billion annuallyin economic activity in our state.

The Senate bill takes severalsteps to ensure the continued in-tegrity of our farm programs. Weeliminate direct payments and es-tablish a new Agriculture RiskCoverage (ARC) program that willhelp address losses not covered by

crop insurance. At the same time,we maintain a strong crop insur-ance program, which producershave told me time and time againis the most critical risk manage-ment tool.

The underlying bill contains acap of $50,000 on the new ARC pro-gram, and we passed SenatorGrassley and my amendment with

overwhelming support to establisha cap on marketing loan gains. Thebill also takes steps to close loop-holes which have allowed non-farmers to receive payments.

The Farm Bill includes severalprovisions Johnson worked withcolleagues to make sure were in-cluded in a final version, including:

Strong Payment Limits Thebill includes the Grassley/Johnson$250,000 total cap SenatorsChuck Grassley (R-IA) and John-son offered an amendment to capmarketing loan gains at $75,000(doubled if a spouse is involved inthe operation). The amendmentpassed 75-24. The final bill now in-cludes a $250,000 cap, as has beenincluded in legislation that Grass-ley and Johnson offered earlier thisyear.

Mandatory Rural DevelopmentFunding Johnson cosponsored an

amendment to provide $150 mil-lion in mandatory funding for a va-riety of USDA programs: $50 mil-lion for the Value-Added ProducerGrant Program; $50 million for thewater and wastewater backlog; $15million for the Rural Micro-entre-

preneur Assistance Program; and$35 million for the BeginningFarmer and Rancher DevelopmentProgram. The amendment passed55-44.

Pine Beetle Funding The Sen-ate bill provides for the designationof treatment areas on nationalforests experiencing declining for-est health from insect of disease in-

festation, including the mountainpine beetle. Treatments on desig-nated areas could be carried outwith expedited processes in accor-dance with the Healthy ForestRestoration Act. Johnson andThune cosponsored an amendmentto increase authorized funding for

such treatments from $100 millionto $200 million. The amendmentpassed 77-22.

Rural Housing Fix Some com-munities may become ineligible forUSDA Rural Housing Service pro-grams on October 1. Johnsoncosponsored an amendment to ex-tend eligibility for existing commu-nities until completion of the next

census. The amendment, passed byvoice vote, maintains a strong cropinsurance program, eliminates di-rect payments,and closes loopholes

the bill includes language to en-sure that actual farmers receivepayments.

***Saturday, June 23, at Somerset

Court, we had morning exercises at10:00. For lunch we had two red-neck dishes, French fries andbaked beans, and an elegantchicken cordon bleu. M.R. Hansencame for lunch and scrabble. Wecontinued his research into whichresident prefers which tractor,from old days on the farm or ranch.

M.R. and I sat with ThelmaFrame and she kindly shared a fewhighlights of her life story. Shegrew up near Faith and graduatedfrom high school there. She at-tended Spearfish Teachers Collegeand taught school for two and ahalf years. She married JimFrame, who grew up on Rat-tlesnake Creek, only 12 miles

away. This was in 1941 and themarriage lasted 64 years and threedays. They had three sons, one wholives at Whitewood and works ontransmissions, one lives on theEast Coast and another on theWest Coast. They will all be here inJuly. Thelma remembers tractors,

especially Farmalls and Caterpil-lars, as they built dams anddugouts.

Irene McKnight brought over alist of tractors for M.R. and a quote:Ford 88000, John Deere 2950 and2040, and New Holland 7V145. Herhusband, Royal McKnight also diddirt work building dams and level-ing land. Royal and his brother,

Arthur, also ran sheep near Albion,Mont.

M.R. and I related to the dirtwork, as my father-in-law, RalphHansen, of near Philip, and hissons, Bob, (Russell) Cecil, Virgil,

Tody (Ralph Jr.), Dean who wascalled Deano, Kenneth and Keithwho were twins, Dale and Philip,built dams all over HaakonCounty. They used Caterpillars.Philip, being the youngest, usuallystayed home and ran the ranch.

My husband, Virgil Hansen, hada little Farmall tractor to dig postholes with. When he got out of the

Army, he developed a sign busi-ness. Some of the first signs wereon three boards and were mountedon two posts. He would set thesigns up beside the highway. Ourboys, Wayne, M.R., Leslie, Frank,David, and Hans, helped as soon asthey were big enough. Age five orsix, to hear them tell it!

Over the weekend, Irene McK-night and Gloria Crumet went to abig church picnic at Sturgis. Therethey met acquaintances from longago. Kids who had been in Sun-

day school with Gloria.The only mail I received Satur-

day was Sheridans makeup cata-log. It is said that the worse timesare, the more people turn to cos-metics and alcohol. The differenceis that alcohol only deadens themisery for a little while, while the

cosmetics lift ones spirits every-day. When you put on your pinkcheeks and your eye liner, it makeyou feel special and then with asmile, you meet other smiles.

You might enjoy this link to

kaleidoscope. I like it over andover: http://inoyan.narod.nu/kalei-doscope.surf. It was sent to me bymy nephew, Leonard Meyer,Greenfield, Ind.

Sunday, I phoned my son, HansP. Hansen, at Spruce House, 2535Brady Drive, Colorado Springs,Colo. 80917. But Hans was gone tochurch. I left a message that Iwanted to tell Hans thank you forhis hand-painted birthday cardthat had a bizzy, buzzy bee on it. Itsaid, Hey, Im bizzy, Im 93. AndI wanted to tell him that the kalan-choe he sent for Mothers Day isdoing fine.

I walked around outside of Som-erset Court castle and saw that thescrubby ash tree on the south sidein the undeveloped area, that hasbeen trying to die for two years, isnow coming up in a pretty greenbush. And there was purple alfalfa

in bloom and lawn clover, and dan-delions and creeping jinny.

Sunday, June 24, Rev. Richard-son spoke on in the beginning. Hequoted the Bible and urged us toread and believe. Mrs. Richardson

sang How Great Thou Art in herrich contralto. Thank you both andthank you to Jack Humke for play-ing hymns for singing.

His online guestbook is availableat www.rushfuneralhome.com

I would like to start my newsweek with stories from Kennethshistory. One of these is true. It isabout a man who was well thoughtof in this area. In later years hehung out in town at Pop Pohlesfeed and seed store, along withother old-timers like Al Knutson.

When we were first married andfor several years following, Ken-neth would go to Pop Pohles andvisit while he waited for me to fin-ish my shopping. This was theplace where most of the countrymen gathered to talk over the lat-est happenings.

Rudolph E. Tungland, he home-steaded a mile northeast of the Al-falfa School on 2-18-18 east nearthe Ted Knutson place. We allcalled him Rudy. He was the great-uncle of John and Rod Knutson.

Kenneth was about 13 or 14years old and was out riding hishorse. He rode by the old vacantBlair place east about two and ahalf miles from here. For some rea-son, he decided to look in the oldbarn and tied up in there was ateam of horses. Of course, he defi-antly knew the horses as no otherteam in the country were as goodas these were. They were Belgiumsand they would bring good moneyin those days.

Kenneth came on home andasked his dad what Rudys horseswould be doing tied up in the Blairbarn. His dad asked him if he wassure they were Rudys and be de-termined, he told him he was sure.

Tom Eide loaded up Kenneth inthe car and they went over toRudys and told him what Kennethhad seen. Rudy told them that histeam was out in the pasture. Tomwas not satisfied and he asked him

if they could go out and see for surethat the team was in the pasture.So they drove out there and theteam was nowhere to be found.

So then they drove over to theBlair barn and Rudy looked in andsaid, By gingery, (his favorite say-ing) those are my horses. He went

into the barn and untied them fromthe stall and started leading themthe six miles home. Kenneth saidthat made his day.

Rustling still goes on today andpeople get caught. At that time,they knew who did it but did notturn them in as it would have beenhard on a good neighbor and thisneighbor had also married into thefamily. Shortly after this, he didleave the country.

I have been busy these last fewweeks, eating out with family whilethe granddaughters were home atMarvin and Vickis for the summervisiting. And they invited me tohave lunch and dinner with them.

This last Wednesday, I was in-vited to have lunch with Rev. Rus-sell and Mary Pierce in downtownPhilip, along with Alice Brooks,Gene and Doris Daniel, Cliff andRita Ramsey, Phyllis Hajeck, Kay

Ainslie, and Debbie Hansen. It wasso nice to see Pierces again. Theylive at Yankton and are stayingwith Russell's sister, June, inMurdo.

June was driving them to a fam-ily reunion over this coming week-end. I believe it was to be held inMontana, a trip of 600 miles fromhere. Russell has a spring in hisstep and he even ran a little to andfro to get us all organized for lunch.

Rev. Pierce was a good ministerwhile here at the United Church.He left here and went to the be pas-

tor of the Methodist church inPierre for a few years. Their son,Tim, was married at Pierre whilethey were there. I was able to at-tend his wedding. They were gonefrom Pierre before their son, Ken-neth, was married.

They are a plus in our lives and

it is a pleasure to know them andenjoy their friendship. Rev. Piercesfamily were long-time residents ofPhilip and they had the grain ele-vator here for several years whileRussell was growing up. They left

here and moved to Murdo whereRussell finished high school.

Marivn Eide has been over toSteve Clements doing somewindrowing for him this week.Steve had broken down andwanted to get finished before hecould get his haying equipment re-

paired.This is a short week for news asthere was an early deadline so Ihope everyone had a safe andhappy Fourth of July.

Well, folks, due to the Fourth ofJuly holiday coming in the middle ofnext week we have been asked to getour news column in by Friday of thisweek, for next weeks paper. Have Igot you confused yet? I think I maybe confusing myself. But, here goes.The combiners are really moving intoMidland. Oh, my, are those machinesbig. Some years back, combines weremuch smaller, took longer to get thewheat cut, and many didnt have airconditioners. By the end of the daythose folks driving those combineswere hot and they were itchy from allthat dust. Its good they have air con-

ditioning now. The days get long andbeing more comfortable helps abunch.

Talk about long, hot, tiring days,the firefighters with the Coloradofires and the fires in the Black Hillsare putting in some long and ex-hausting days. Have you noticed thelast few days how orange the sun isas it is sliding down for the night? Icant help but think it is due to thehaze we are getting from those fires.I called my brother, Phil Meyers, con-cerning the fires at Colorado Springs,as their son, Damon, Sarah and fam-ily live at Colorado Springs. He saidthey are okay, that the fire is straightwest of where they live. When theystep out on their deck they can seethe fires and the haze from thosefires gets pretty thick at times. See-ing the pictures of the fires on TVgives a person a sick feeling, cant

imagine what it would be like to ac-tually be there. They could certainlyuse the rains they are getting inFlorida where they are having toomuch rain. Sarah is a nurse in Col-orado Springs and with all that isgoing on with folks due to those firesshe will be putting in longer hours.Our prayers go out to those folks, forsure.

The Midland Pioneer Museum isonce again open for the summer sea-son. The days and hours the museumis open are Monday, Tuesday andFriday from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. Mid-land does have a real nice museum.

Jan Bierle is there to answer ques-tions and if she cant be there,Mahlon Alcock will be. If you haventstopped in at the museum, I inviteyou to do so. In those buildings is thehistory of those hardy pioneers. Asmost of you know, the main buildingat the museum, the first one youcome into, is the former Midlanddepot. It is an interesting building initself. A whole lot of history is in thatbuilding.

Thelma wrote and pub-lished a number of books that manyof us have in our homes. And Mickeyis quite an artist

I got out my favorite history bookPrairie Progress in West CentralSouth Dakota and looked up theHenry and Dena Martin history.

Henry Martin was born atWoonsocket, S.D., on January 24,1890, and spent his early life onfarms in the Canton and Sioux Fallsneighborhoods. He came to Midlandin 1910 as his brother-in-law, JimHuston, told him this was wonderfulcountry.

MIDLAND MARKET, FRIDAYS6-8 P.M. MIDLAND PARK.Fresh garden produce, farmeggs, handcrafted items andmore! Evening meal, sweettreats and music!

Henry stayed with Jim and BirdHuston on the Cook place east of theCurt Bentley ranch the first year. Inthe history book it told he bought aModel T Ford car from Frank Cal-hoon, thus owning one of the firstmotor cars in the country at the time.Henry became friends with AlvinBertelson, who ranched on Bad Rivereast of Midland. Alvin introduced his

sister, Dena, to Henry because he fig-ured if he promoted a romance be-tween them, he could ride along todances in the Model T instead of rid-ing horseback. Guess it worked be-cause Henry Martin and Dena Ber-telson were married at Kadoka, Oc-tober 16, 1916. They moved to Denashomestead two miles west ofMoenville. According to the historybook, it later became a part of theEverett Towne ranch. Dena was bornin Iowa in 1894. When they lived inthe Moenville area Herbert, HenryJr., Thelma and Julianna were born.They later had two more children, Al-bert (Fuzz) and Annetta (Mickey).Dena had gone to school in a little logschoolhouse. Dena went to school indifferent places, one of them being atthe Presbyterian Church in Midlandwhich is now Trinity LutheranChurch. She eventually got a secondgrade teachers certificate and taughtin different schools over the years.

It goes on to say, one of the high-lights of the frontier community wasthe annual Fourth of July celebrationheld in Midland. They always had aladies horse race down Main Street,and Dena rode in them. She won sev-eral of those races riding her brother,Alberts horse, Monte. She also rodeone of Frank Calhoons horses to vic-tory. In the book it tells that Franksaid it couldnt run, but it did.

In the history book, it told that

Henry was a good old-time fiddler.He played the violin at dances allover the country and in the MidlandLegion Hall. The Martin place was aregular gathering place for dances onSaturday nights. Always like to learnsome of the history of f olks who usedto live in the Midland area.

There was an interesting article inthe June 27, 2012, Capital Journalnewspaper about a historic FortPierre cemetery in which there wasgoing to be a tour on June 28. KarlFischer tells that when he was a boy,it was the cemetery where everyonein Fort Pierre buried their dead.Catholics on one side and protestantson the other, among the stones mark-ing infantryman from World War I,Cavalry troops and Union soldiersfrom the Civil War. Fischer told thatmany folks dont know about theCedar Hill Cemetery, hidden in a rip-ple of hills just outside of town and soa bus tour was being done to sharesome of the history of that cemetery.Theyre the people who built thiscountry, says Fischer, but now theirfamilies have mostly died or movedon. Some of the names in the ceme-tery belonged to families who neverstayed for any length of time in FortPierre, which was a jumping-off point

for lands to the west. They weregoing through the country and thenpeople died, say Fischer, So theyburied their dead and kept moving.There is so much history in our Stateof South Dakota. And as always, Ifind it interesting.

Jerry happened to run into and en-joyed visiting with Butch Dennis andhis wife of Rapid City at the store inMidland Thursday. They had beenfishing in Pierre catching some goodwalleye. Butch told Jerry he haddriven by his place. That would bethe DeYoung place which we boughta number of years ago. They haddriven by there on their way out tothe former Dennis farm where Butchhad grown up. Henry and Hope Den-nis had a number of children. In thehistory book Prairie Progress inWest Central South Dakota, Olivia(Dennis) Perovich wrote an interest-ing article about the Dennis-Richard-

son families. I used parts of that ar-ticle some time back in my MidlandNews column. In reading some of itagain this morning I found a humor-ous tale about Henry. In the article ittold that Henry enjoyed water fights,and liked to tease and play pranks.Olivia writes, At the end of harvesthe would buy a new hat or pair ofshoes and leave his old, worn, greasyones on the display shelf at the store.On one such occasion, the MidlandCo-op returned his old hat by U.S.Mail. Did have to chuckle as I readthat.

Congratulations to Mark andGlenda Nemec, who live just outsideof Hill City, and got yard of themonth for June. They were chosen bythe Garden Club ladies and when yousee pictures of their yard it is easy tosee why their yard was one of those

chosen. It is absolutely beautiful.From what I hear, Mark and Glendahave a scenic spot and live in a log

cabin house. Sounds like a road tripmight be in order dont you think?An update on Alice (Donovan) Ven-

ner, Pierre, is that she has had a fewup and down days this past week, butfrom the sounds of things more upsare winning. She and her family aregetting acquainted with the hospicenurse and said that, Like CaringBridge it is an amazing program withamazing people. What a comfortwhen you are dealing with serious is-sues. Alices daughter, Micaela, wroteon the Caring Bridge update, Alice(mom) wants everyone to know whatjoy she has in reading the CaringBridge messages and memories.They are the best GIFT you cangive. Family asks that you continueto pray for comfort, strength andpeace she needs for her journey. And,for restful sleep and good health to

her caregivers and loved ones. Ourthoughts and prayers are truly withAlice and her family at this time and

in the days ahead. It is hard. As acaregiver you want to make thingsbetter, but it truly is in Gods handsHe is our strength and our comfort inthe storms of life.

The Midland summer reading pro-gram was held Wednesdays duringthe month of June at the TrinityLutheran Church, with the theme"Bee a Reader." The kids listened tobuggy books during story time. Someof the crafts they made were paperplate bees, butterfly life cycle wheels,ladybug bug boxes, and edible bugsnacks. Kids sang and danced tosongs such as "Baby Bumblebee" and"Itsy Bitsy Spider." They visited theMidland Library each day to checkout books and movies from LibrarianKarel Reiman. The following awardswere given, Kahler Finn and CassFinn-best helpers, Dane Daly-mostcreative, Kelsey Hand-best singer,and Tukker Boe and Morgan Sam-

mons-best listeners. Jenna Finn wasin charge of the summer reading pro-gram this year and was so thankfulto the moms and grandma's for help-ing out. We also want to thank Jennafor all the time and work she put intothe summer reading program. Its alot of work and reports are that thekids had a great time, some telling li-brarian Karel about their projectsetc. This program is sponsored by theMidland Community Library.

As I close out my news column foranother week our daughter, CharleneNemec, is in Vilnius, Lithuania. Inher email, Charlene writes, I arrivedsafely in Vilnius, Lithuania mythoughts exactly how does a girlfrom a farming community in SouthDakota get to Vilnius, Lithuania? Ican hardly believe it myself, but I amproof that it really can and does hap-pen. We do not receive wisdom; wemust discover it for ourselves, after a

journey through the wilderness which

no one else can make for us, which noone can spare us, for our wisdom is

the point of view which we come atlast to regard the world.

And take time to be kind to eachother. Words can be hurtful, thinkbefore you speak. Have a good dayand a safe Fourth of July.

Want to have a great feeling onTuesday, July 10?

Plan to stop by the blood drive,from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at theBad River Senior Citizens Centerin Philip.

By giving blood, a donor helps re-plenish a community resource usedby a neighbor, relative, friend oreven complete stranger. The dona-tion gives a future patient the samerecovery opportunity as a currentpatient, because it assures bloodwill be on the hospital shelf whenit is needed.

Only when a significant numberof people donate on a regular basiscan a community maintain ade-quated blood supplies. If everyonewaited for an emergency to donate,many lives would be jeopardized,said Lori Liebman, United BloodServices donor recruitment direc-tor. Waiting to donate in an emer-gency only creates more emergen-cies. Blood must be available at alltimes in sufficient amounts to meetthe needs of a community.

Volunteer blood donors must beat least 16 years old, weigh at least110 pounds and be in good health.

Additional he ight/weight require-ments apply to donors 22 and

younger, and donors who are 16, or17 in certain areas, must havesigned permission from a parent orguardian.

Potential donors can make anappointment to give at www.blood-hero.com or by calling 605-342-8585 in Rapid City or 605-996-3688in Mitchell. Donors will also receivea free cholesterol test.
