David K. Hansen of Fort Pierre-based Hansen Industries Inc.gives away business cards that sayDepartment of de Fence.

And if building fence for live-stock is something you have to do,he sells a few inventions hesworked up in the back shop tomake your own high-level securityoperations in that area more suc-cessful such as the patented, pis-ton-powered post puller (producedproudly in Fort Pierre).

There are many other imple-ments for pulling up posts, saysHansen, who has pulled up a good

many thousand of them in his day.But his invention beats the chainlooped around the Handyman jackor the Farmall bucket all to pieces.This is more than just a postpuller its a material handler,Hansen says.

In Hansens invention, a framecarries a pair of grippers capableof sliding along the frame to graspa post or other object. The grippersmay pivot so that the object re-mains vertical no matter if thetractor is sitting on unevenground. The grippers can be con-trolled by hydraulic or other powerprovided by the tractor or lifting

machine.In addition to that gripper that

can handle heavy steel or wood

beams, Hansens invention in-cludes what he calls a side grab-ber or putter so named be-cause its shaped a bit like a golfclub putter that will easily tugsteel fenceposts out of the ground.It makes removing fence a one-man job. A skilled operator can re-move posts in a matter of minutesthat could take hours to remove bysome other method. Hansen pointsout the operator can lift them justhigh enough so that they remainstanding in the ground so that

Swimming pool is open

by Del BartelsDuring their meeting Monday,

June 4, the Philip City Council ap-proved all applications for maltbeverage licenses. All of the appli-cants have paid their propertytaxes in advance. One license iscontingent on the owner payingthose property taxes. The busi-nesses are the Sundowner Bar,Rock N Roll Lanes, CornerPantry, Morrisons Pit Stop,Dakota Bar and 73 Bar andLounge.

The city council discussed aninitial proposal by Council Mem-ber Trisha Larson intended to pro-mote property improvement andconstruction. She asked, could afive-year tax break be given to newconstruction or remodelings abovea certain assessed value? The firstyear of property taxes could be foronly 20 percent of the valuation,with each following year adding 20percent more. Also, could a largertax be placed on vacant lots andvacant buildings? These rewardand penalty ideas would possiblycreate a push toward improve-ments and construction. The the-ory is, if there is a larger tax base,then more taxes would eventuallycome in, thus lessening the taxneed put on individual propertyowners.

Building permits were approvedfor Vicki Daly to work on side-walks, decks, fence, landscaping,tree removal, foundation repair,retaining wall and to move or re-move shed. The Haakon County

Young Womens Kiddie Park willhave cement edging installed.Jesse and Sheryl Hansen will putup a fence and put in an under-ground sprinkler. Ron and LaurieMann will replace a 4x10 shed.The Philip Volunteer Fire Depart-ment will put up a 8x16 crowsnest with underneath storage. J.R.Snyder plans to extend a drivewayand add a concrete patio. RichardStewart will remove an additionand replace it with a 16x22 addi-tion. Bob and Monna Van Lintplan to remove a deck and replaceit with 10x20 covered deck andreplace a back stoop. Duke West-erberg will replace stairs, a deckand windows.

A public hearing was held con-cerning putting a tax lien on theassessment roll to recover thedemolition and clean-up costs forthe building at 204 E. Pine St. No

written objection was filed and noone objected at the hearing. If thecosts are not paid by July 20, 2012,

they will be assessed against theproperty and collected with theproperty taxes, to be paid in sevenyears at seven percent interest.

The special events applicationby the PVFD for its demolitionderby, June 16, was accepted. Alsoaccepted was the special eventsapplication by the Dakota Bar fora street/sidewalk beer garden witha special alcoholic beverage licensein conjunction with Philip FestivalDays, June 15-16.

In Police Chief Kit Grahams re-port, Officer David Butler has ap-plied for bulletproof vest usingpartnership funds. An extra officerhas been hired for Festival Days.

Lola Roseth, Haakon Countyemergency manager, presentedher annual update to the council.Since the terrorist attacks Sep-tember 11, 2001, in New York Cityand Washington, D.C., emergencymanagement has been stepped up.Instant command online classesare required by the state for emer-gency response and political offi-cials.

If we dont have trained volun-teers and trainings, it will bechaos (when a disaster does hap-pen), said Roseth. If there ever isa disaster in the city of Philip, allyou guys will be called upon tohelp.

Marlene Knutson with the Cen-tral South Dakota EnhancementDistrict also briefed the council onher job. Most things that the citymight need, especially in the wayof applying for various grants, is

what the member cities pay theCSDED to do. Philip pays $800 peryear for membership. The CSDEDalso supports the Governors Homeproject. There has been an applica-tion for such a low-income struc-ture to be built and moved tosomewhere in Haakon County thisyear.

The ordinance for a supplemen-tal appropriation to finance themaintenance and improvements atthe rubble site for 2012 was givenits second reading.

Several items were discussedand then tabled, in order to domore research. One item was pur-chasing a new utility billing soft-ware package. Another was re-garding purchasing highly reflec-tive street signs, as recommendedby the United States Departmentof Transportation and FederalHighway Administration. Any ad-

ditional railings at the swimmingpool are also on hold.

The citys gross salaries for April

totaled $22,714.81. The citys per-centages of insurance, retirementand withholding added another$7,776.15. The total for all otherbills came to $54,708.95, which in-cludes over $10,698 for employeehealth and dental premiums.

The council tabled the employeehealth insurance rate increase of5.6 percent for 2012/2013. An an-ticipatory 10 percent increase hadpreviously been budgeted by thecouncil. Council Member MarionMatt initiated a discussion of pos-sibly increasing the deductibles tolower the rates, with maybe pass-ing on a percentage of the savingsto the employees through wage in-creases.

The council officially approvedthe pool policy handbook amend-ments; hours, swim lessons andthe new non-swimmer fee of $1.00per visit. A pool cleaning machine,purchased in 2004 for $1,925, willbe traded in to purchase a newermachine.

The South Dakota Pilots Associ-ation will meet May 12 in Ab-erdeen. The Philip Airport will bepresented for their November 10meeting location.

The owner of the non-workingairplane left at the Philip airportwas granted a pre-paid six-monthlease for storage. The councilagreed that no more extensionswill be granted.

The city council will meet as anelection canvassing board, Thurs-day, June 7, at 4:00 p.m. in thecommunity room. The next regular

council meeting will be Monday,July 2, at 7:00 p.m. in the HaakonCounty Courthouse CommunityRoom.

by Del BartelsRachael Hoyer is the new intern

at Cenex Harvest States Midwest

Cooperative in Philip.Working to finish her four-yearagriculture business degree fromSouth Dakota State University,Hoyer is getting hands-on experi-ence in the ag market. She beganMay 15 and will be working at Mid-west until the middle of August.

Hoyer is originally from Badger.I grew up on a farm, my dad worksfor his dad; family business, saidHoyer. She began college with theintensions of earning a math edu-cation degree. I realized I didntwant to be a teacher. I figured theywould eventually need someone totake over the farm. I should learnto know what I was doing.

Jim Kanable is Hoyers immedi-ate supervisor at Midwest. Werebusiest in early spring and sum-mer. Thats when we need the help.

And then thats when we get toconnect with the students and con-

tact with future employees. This isthe first one (intern) weve had inPhilip. Rachael gets to break the

mold, said Kanable. We do havean ongoing, vo-tech program wherea student gets a free ride, say, fortwo years if they work with us forat least two-to-four years.

Along with learning things fromweed identification to how to scouta field, Hoyer has to research aweekly question from her college.These assignments often requirethat she utilize her co-workers, theInternet, books and other sources,then still needs most of the week tocomplete the research.

What will come after college isstill a bit unclear for Hoyer. Idlike to stay with CHS, theres a lotof ag business, she said. Whoknows, maybe Ill take a minor inagronomy.

A degree in agronomy isnt nec-essarily necessary, but its a base.This is a learning-on-the-job job,said Kanable. Theres always a lot

to do around here. A part of spray-ing is follow-up and shes doingsome of that. There will be tissuesampling and more tissue sam-pling.

Shell also get to see the busi-ness side of things since she has a

CHS Midwest Cooperatives agronomy internbusiness degree; inventory, inven-tory control, filing, time manage-ment. I have 20-some years of ex-

perience so it comes easy to me.Rachael will be unfamiliar withherbicides, pesticides and fungi-cides. All that changes with theadvent of generics.

Along with what he said, I dontknow the area and the farmers.They say to go to such-and-such afield. I have to look it up and findit, said Hoyer. Id have to say themost fun part of the job is the peo-ple. On the agronomy side, Idhave to say tissue sampling. I getto be out and its cool to see the re-sults.

Living the ag life ... by Del Bartels Many years ago I left the second largest city in the state and moved

to what is now my home, a small, agriculture-based town where al-

most everyone waves at you as they pass on the street and where a

handshake is more likely than a written contract. Pickups are more

common than cars. Kids who dont yet have drivers licenses drive

tractors. Wheat is king. Beef is the food of choice. Hunting is more

than a pastime. Whoever you are talking with is probably somehow

related to whoever you are talking about. The local newspaper is im-

portant, though the coffee shop has the really juicy information.

It was a little aggravating for me, and Im sure for my friends, while

I became acclimated. There is a difference between knowing the

process of branding and actually doing it, and that includes the Rocky

Mountain oysters. AI is actually a topic permissable in mixed com-

pany. In the city you dont ask someones salary, here you dont ask

someones herd size, even though you probably know because of the

work load of the neighbor-based branding crew and the published

sales at the local cattle auction. If the ranch dog likes you, youre con-

sidered family. Wearing a hat during a meal isnt rude, it just shows

that you are so used to wearing it that it doesnt cross your mind. Yet,

you never forget to tip it or at least nod when a lady is present. A man

can expect his wife to lift hay bales all day long, but if he is around shedoesnt lift a bag of groceries. Friday evenings are for socializing, usu-

ally at the high school sports game. Anybodys young kid does some-

thing on stage, such as sing or recite a poem, and you clap.

Fresh milk can be delivered to your refrigerator, even if you arent

home. Fresh eggs can be picked up at church, just save the empty car-

tons. There is at least one cottontail living in the backyards of my

neighborhood. Turkey and deer in town are not uncommon. Walkers,

joggers and bicyclists seemingly fill the streets at sunrise. Flags fly in

yards and in front of businesses. More than just a few young adults,

after college or a few years seeing the world, come back here to raise

their children. If someone does get in trouble with the local law, and

keeps doing so, they often end up moving far away. Few trials are held

here because a jury of your peers would include your relatives, in-laws

or people you grew up with; and they know you all too well. Any delin-

quent behavior is usually addressed over a quiet talk between the po-

lice chief and the youngsters parents.

At the end of the day, I can put my feet up, but, only if I chose to.

There is always something going on. I dont need a shopping mall,

sports stadium, expensive clubs or six-lane traffic to keep me busy.

The worst thing with living here is everyone knows everything

about you. The best thing is everyone knows everything about you.

You arent completely accepted as an old-timer unless you were born

here or die here; maybe Ill qualify for the second.

would like to do, but as much aspossible I want to let my desire tobring happiness to my wife anddaughter override my decision todo what I want to do. In essence, Imake a decision to give of myself inorder to bring happiness to them.

Living this way obviously worksat work just as well as at home

when you take the time to discoverwhat brings happiness to your em-ployer or fellow employees. Whenwe think in terms of the interestsof others, and do what we can tomeet those needs rather than onlythinking of our own needs, it willultimately result in a win-win foreveryone concerned. Not to men-tion, this attitude can greatly im-pact productivity, morale and ulti-mately increase profitability in theworkplace.

My encouragement for youtoday: Discover what brings happi-ness to those you connect withdaily; then be willing to give ofyourself by reaching out, sharing,smiling, listening, encouraging inwhatever ways you can to meetsomeone elses need.

What brings others happiness

My personal belief is that truehappiness is found in serving andgiving to another human being.

This quote from Og Mandinoconfirms my personal belief. Pleasepay special attention to the thirdsentence. Realize that true happi-ness lies within you. Waste no timeand effort searching for peace and

contentment and joy in the worldoutside. Remember that there is nohappiness in having or in getting,but only in giving. Reach out.Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is aperfume you cannot pour on otherswithout getting a few drops onyourself. Og Mandino

I aspire to live my life in such away that I am always aware ofwhat brings other people happi-ness. For example, I know whatmakes my wife happy is to have mereally take time to listen to herwhen she is trying to share herthoughts or opinions on a subjectthat is important to her. I knowwhat makes my daughter happy isto just spend a little dad anddaughter time watching a movie orshooting hoops together. Now Imay have other ideas of what I

A statewide, county-by-countyconversation about strengtheninghealth and retirement securitycalled You've Earned a Say isbeing held by AARP SouthDakota.

This is an effort to take the fu-ture of Medicare and Social Secu-rity out from behind closed doorsin Washington and make SouthDakotans a part of the discussionabout the future of these pro-grams.

One of these events will be inPhilip, Thursday, June 14, from8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at Pizza Etc.Breakfast will be provided by

AARP South Dakota. This is opento the public. Individuals of allages are encouraged to attend and

AARP membership is not re-quired.

There is no cost to attend,though registration is required. Toregister, call 1-877-926-8300. Tosupport local hunger efforts, atten-dees are encouraged to bring anon-perishable food donation.

Other sessions will be held inMurdo, Belle Fourche, Buffalo,Bison, and Dupree, June 12-13.

Throughout the summer theYou've Earned a Say van will stopfor listening sessions in all 66counties in South Dakota, with thefinal session at the South DakotaState Fair on August 30. Atten-dees may fill out questionnairesabout Medicare and Social Secu-rity and join a discussion about thefuture of these programs.

Medicare and Social Securityare the foundation of health andretirement security for so many

South Dakotans, said Sarah Jen-nings, state director for AARPSouth Dakota. Theyve paid intothese programs over a lifetime ofwork, theyve earned these bene-fits, theyre counting on them, andthey should be part of the conver-sation on how to protect andstrengthen Medicare and SocialSecurity.

A recent survey of more than3300 individuals age 50 and olderin Sioux Falls and in rural commu-nities showed 90 percent of re-spondents saw ensuring Social Se-curity continues to provide a guar-anteed base for retirement incomeas a high or top priority issue for

AARP South Dakota to work on.Eighty-five percent of respon-

dents in rural areas and 81 per-cent of respondents in Sioux Falls

indicated that strengtheningMedicare should be a high or toppriority issue for AARP SouthDakota to work on.

In South Dakota, 137,314 peo-ple rely on Medicare for theirhealth coverage, and 153,508 peo-ple receive Social Security bene-fits.

The average monthly SocialSecurity 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 percentor more of their retirement in-come, while 45.4 percent rely onSocial security for 50 percent ormore of their retirement income.

"These sessions are truly listen-ing sessions," said Jennings. The

debate 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 Securitywithout hearing from the peoplewho rely on these programs fortheir health and financial security

David K. Hansen of Fort Pierres invention, a post puller for which he holds the

U.S. patent, handles materials including heavy steel beams or large wooden

posts. But the putter at the right side of the device also is nimble enough to re-

move steel fence posts.

David K. Hansens patented post puller also has a small putter so called be-

cause it resembles a golf club that can pluck small steel fence posts, as he

demonstrates here.

theres no need to even bend overfor them.

I got tired of needing a secondperson to pull out fenceposts, saidHansen, who has been in the fenc-ing business since 1975. I dontwant to say Ive done this a milliontimes, because that would be exag-gerating. But after 37 years, Ivepicked up many thousands andthousands of posts.

Hansen sought, and got, apatent from the U.S. governmentwhen he realized his invention re-ally was unique. He filed for thepatent in 2004 and got it in 2007.

Though word of mouth has beenhis main source of advertising,hes already sold 35 of the ma-chines to farmers and rancherswho have experienced the samefrustrations in building fence.

His post puller/material handlerweighs about 600 pounds, Hansensays, and mounts easily on a ma-chine such as a Bobcat.

It isnt the first invention hesmade, but its the first one hespatented.

Hansen has also invented hisown machine for winding upbarbed wire when taking down afence. It makes a role as tight asnew spools of barbed wire, he says

and that, too, is a big seller with

livestock producers.David K. Hansen, who works forthe Triple U Buffalo Ranch nearFort Pierre, has also designed hisown pickup grill guard specificallyto stand up to the stress of dealingwith bison. He sells a few of those,too.

Hansens also builds what hecalls a Yucca buster essentiallyan exoskeleton that fits around afour-wheeler with racks on thefront and back so that farmers orranchers can carry lots of gear asneeded in the field. Not only doesit add carrying capacity, it adds tothe life of the four-wheeler,Hansen believes, by offering addi-tional protection.

Hansens brother, M.R. Hansen,is a professor of civil engineeringat the South Dakota School ofMines & Technology in Rapid City.He said his brothers inventivestreak comes from growing up inwestern South Dakota, where peo-ple often had to come up with theirown solutions to solve problems.

Were from Philip. Thats allyou need to say, M.R. Hansensaid.

NOTICE TO ELIGIBLEVOTERS ABOUT FSA

COMMITTEE ELECTIONSThis is the fourth in a continuing

series of articles about County FSACommittee elections. This articlewill explain some of the guidelinesCounty FSA Committee must followin the election process and the roleof advisors to the County FSA Com-mittee.Uniform Guidelines

USDA issued uniform guidelinesfor County FSA Committee elec-

tions to help ensure that CountyFSA Committees fairly representthe agricultural producers of acounty or multi-county jurisdiction,especially minority and women pro-ducers. Minorities are African-Americans, American Indians orAlaska Natives, Hispanics, Asians,Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Is-landers. The guidelines govern theCounty FSA Committee election

process and are designed to increaseparticipation of minorities andwomen.

The following are just some of thespecific guidelines that are now ineffect: (1) If no valid nominationsare filed, the Secretary of Agricul-ture may nominate up to two indi-viduals to be placed on the ballot;(2) County FSA Committees mustannually review Local Administra-tive Area (LAA) boundaries to en-sure the fair representation of mi-nority and women producers intheir county or multi-county juris-dictions; (3) County FSA Officesshall actively locate and recruit eli-gible candidates identified as mi-nority and women farmers andranchers as potential nominees forthe County FSA Committee elec-tions through outreach and public-ity, including the development ofpartnerships with community-

based organizations. To read theguidelines in their entirety, visit the

County Committee Elections pageat http://www.fsa.usda.gov/ elec-tions. In addition to minority andwomen producers, USDA stronglyencourage beginning farmers to ac-tively seek a position on a CountyFSA Committee.Role of Advisors

In addition to elected members,County FSA Committees may alsoinclude advisors. Advisors are ap-

pointed to County FSA Committeesin counties or multi-county jurisdic-tions that have significant numbersof minority or women producers andlack such members on County FSACommittees. Advisors play an im-portant role by providing diverseviewpoints and by representing theinterests of minorities and womenin decisions made by County FSACommittees. FSA State Committeesofficially appoint advisors who arerecommended by County FSA Com-mittees or community- based organ-izations.

Next week Ill discuss the dead-lines applicable to County FSACommittee elections.

Click Container Recycling &Waste Pesticide Collection Pro-gram, and scroll down to click2012 Pesticide Container Recy-cling Collection Schedule.

The program collects and recy-cles agricultural, home and gar-den pesticide containers. The con-tainers collected must be madefrom high density polyethylene(HDPE) embossed with recyclingsymbol #2. Containers must beempty and triple- or pressure-rinsed to be recycled. Caps andother non-HDPE parts such asmetal handles and rubber liningscannot be recycled. It is recom-mended that labels are removedfrom the containers before recy-cling.

Goals of the program are to re-duce the risks to the environmentand human health from the stor-age of unusable pesticides and toprovide an opportunity for pesti-

cide applicators to dispose of con-tainers properly. This also re-duces the amount of plastics inSouth Dakota landfills and the en-vironment.

If you need to recycle shuttles ordrums, please contact SouthDakota Department of Agricul-ture, (605) 773-4432.

Last weekend, I visited at Jimand Norma Oldenbergs. Jim washome. He is at work most of thetime when I stop there, so it wasnice to visit with him also. We gotinto a conversation about wherethe Dowling and Rose cemeteriesare located, as it had been yearssince we had been there. I did callDon Ferguson and he told me thatI would be able to locate the one atDowling. I knew where the RoseCemetery was. With the roadschanging, people moving andranches empty, it is hard to locateplaces anymore as so many of thelandmarks are gone.

Caleb Clements was at DonnaNewmans over the weekend work-ing on his derby car. His dad,Mike, came out some of the timeand helped him. Kaives and Nolinkids were also at Donnas thisweek.

Ariana Arampatatziz was in Ab-erdeen this weekend for polevaulting for the Philip track team.She has done very well in thisevent. I did get to see her one nighton the TV on the school channelawhile back. She will be partici-pating in the Junior Olympics thiscoming weekend. She will be goingto school back in Aberdeen nextyear and plans to keep up with allher sports.

Donna Newman is busy keepingup with all these activities andsaid that she was to sit on the elec-tion board this last Tuesday.

I did not collect much news as Iwas busy getting all my eye dropsin. Seems like there is some to putin every two hours of the day, butIm not complaining as I can see somuch better in the eye that was al-ready fixed. Now to get the otherone done. When they told my dadto get us kids eyes tested he wouldsay, They see too much now fortheir own good. I had one brotherwho had to have glasses when he

was very young. The rest of usmade it till we were in our 40s.

The Kieth Smith family wascoming and going again this week.They branded calves Saturday.Cassidy, Izzabella and Emberlyn

Ayotte came home this weekend asgrandpa and grandma had to cele-brate the big one year birthday ofEmberlyn.

Her great-grandparents, RichSmith and Don and Donna Olivierand her aunt, Chancie, uncle andaunt, Tucker and Jess and LoganSmith all attended. They playedcroquet for entertainment. Luke,Cassidys husband, was unable tocome as he has to work Saturdays.Colby was not able to be home asshe is in Australia for the summer.

Early Sunday morning, Debbiedrove up the Black Hills to watchChancie run in a marathon takingplace on the Mickelson Trail. Shehad to leave early as the racestarted at 8:00 a.m. Kieth and sonswent golfing Sunday morning atthe Lake Wagoner Golf Course.Cassidy and her girls left for homeSunday.

Then Sunday evening, Kieth,Deb, Tucker, Jess and Logan wentover to Guptills for a farewellparty for Tate who is leaving forKuwait. There was a nice crowdthere to wish him well.

Hope you didnt forget to vote. Itis a privilege to be an Americanand be able to go to the polls andcast a vote for who you would liketo have represent you.

Martin and Vera Nelson andMary Eide were some who at-tended Alvin and Ruby Pearsons45th wedding anniversary openhouse in Philip Sunday. There wasa large crowd and many relativesin attendance. A bountiful lunchwas served and enjoyed by every-one. I worked with Ruby for manyyears at the nursing home, shewas a good aide. And of course, I

Grindstone Newsby Mary Eide 859-2188

also have known Alvin for manyyears. Ruby looked so nice and Icouldnt help thinking how muchshe looked like her mother, RudeneHovland, when she was young. Hermom taught school at Deadmanwhen she first came to this areaand she stayed at Lewisons, whoshe was related to.

Friday night, June 1, Cliff andRita Ramsey, Jim and BettySmith, and Marvin, Vicki andMary Eide were all at the Hard-ingrove Free Church at Milesvillefor the Bible school program towatch their grandchildren and

great-grandchildren participate.They had a really neat programand those kids really sang out andseemed to enjoy it very much. Ithink the oldest child was in thesixth grade and went all the waydown to kindergarten.

After the program a nice lunchwas served with so many differentkinds of dessert available. Therewas much visiting and fellowshipwhile we were having lunch.

Saturday, June 2, I visited withMarlin Evans. She is busy makingafghans for family and friends. Shecaught me up on what all her fam-ily was doing. Later in the evening,she took me downtown to supper.While we were eating, Jim Nickel-son and his daughter, Felicia, andgranddaughter Karsyn QuinnPorch came in, so I got to seeKarsyn. She has really grown, theysure dont stay babies for long.

Trevor and Christa Fitch and

boys came to Marvin and VickiEides Sunday, June 3. Vicki in-vited me to come over but before Igot there all the men left with Mar-vins fire truck to go to Fitcheswhere a fire had started from atree that was struck by lightning.The tree, located in a draw, hadsmoldered all night before it finallybroke out and started burning.

Marvin had his 11-year-oldgrandson, Colby, running the hosefor him as he drove. They were thefirst to get there. Dwight Slovek

The Philip Garden Club held itsfirst plant share, Saturday, June2, in the community room of theHaakon County Courthouse.

A plant share is where anyonecan acquire plants for very littlemoney, often for free if they bringplants or other gardening materi-als to share. As long as the plantsare potted and individually la-belled, any and all healthy plantsare welcome.

Over two dozen beginners

through master gardeners sharedtheir interests by trading not only

plants, but knowledge and advice.Those who did not bring materialsto trade could purchase materials,with door prizes and free items in-cluded. At the end, people carriedout boxes and boxes of plants toadd to their gardens, yards and in-door projects.

Elke Baxter, organizer of thePhilip Garden Club, said, Well,we did it. We successfully pulledoff the first ever Philip plantshare. It appeared that everyone

had fun and everyone got to takehome far more plants than they

had planned on, yours truly in-cluded. What a great way to trysomething new for free or nearlyfree in your garden or home, getfree advice, goodies and materials,super door prizes and have a lot offun.

The club even took in some extrafunds, which will go toward future

garden club outings and lessons.Baxter stated, The plant selec-

tion was great and we really wantto thank our Rapid City friends forletting us copy their ideas for theevent. After 12 years of practice inRapid City, we really didn't needto try and re-invent the wheel.Things went off without a hitch,but we couldn't have done it with-out all the help from our clubmembers and our local and out oftown sponsors. Everyone seemedto have fun and we plan on doing itagain next year.
