The Outlaws hosted the Winner Pheasants at

the JC Terry Complex in Miller for their fi nal non-league game before the start of the regular season. Casey Schlechter took to

the mound for the Outlaws to duel with JJ Farner who was the starting pitcher for the Winner Pheasants. De-spite holding a lead going into the eighth inning, the Outlaws fell to the Pheas-ants when they mount-

ed a comeback rally late into the game. This is the fourth straight loss for the Outlaws during the pre-season.

The pitching staff on both sides was air tight through three innings un-til Miller struck in the fourth inning scoring two runs. Schlechter was able to reach fi rst with a lead-off single. He moved to third after an error and wild pitch. Schlechter was thrown out trying to score only for Jay Winter to score on the very next play when Ben Zell was hit by a pitch. Joe Lewellen also scored in the fourth when Sam Simons was walked.

Derek Graeser drove in two runs for the Pheas-ants when he homered to left fi eld in the fi fth inning scoring his teammate Han-sen and himself. The Out-laws answered in the bot-tom of the fi fth inning to tack on a third run. Jay Winter grounded out to the Pheasants short stop to score Matt Engelmann who had been walked ear-lier in the inning.

The score remained un-changed until the top of the eighth inning. Grae-ser singled to right fi eld and scored Drew Weber

for the Pheasants’ fi rst run of the inning. Graeser add-ed his single to a triple in the fi rst inning, a double in the third inning, and his two run homer in the fi fth inning. This earned him a place in the state base-ball history books by hit-ting for the cycle. Graeser also pitched the fi nal three innings for the Pheasants allowing no hits, strik-ing out three players and walking two. Hansen and Graeser also scored in the eighth inning putting Win-ner up fi ve runs to three. That was all it took as the Outlaws were unable to mount any kind of come-back in the eighth or ninth innings.

Casey Schlechter pitched eight innings for the Outlaws allowing sev-en hits, three earned runs, one walk, and striking out 12 batters. Schlechter also went 3-4 behind the plate and was the most infl uen-tial player for the Outlaws on Sunday night.

The Outlaws play their fi rst league game on Thursday, May 29 at home versus 4 Corners and are looking to put the pre-season behind them in or-der to achieve a strong start to the regular season.

Academy Crusader Track Team competed in the 281 Conference Track Meet held in Huron on Tues-day, May 13. Athletes from nearby schools in-cluding Highmore-Harr-old, Sunshine Bible Acade-my, James Valley Christian, Sanborn Central/Woon-socket, Wolsey-Wessing-ton, Hitchcock-Tulare, Wessington Springs, and Ir-oquois all competed for the top spots in their respec-tive events. The Crusaders walked away with six fi rst place fi nishes–two of them coming from the girls and four from the boys.

Tricia Wilken was the quickest of the day in the 300 Meter Hurdles. She fi n-ished in fi rst place with a time of 51.62 seconds. Wilken also placed second in 100 Meter Dash and sec-ond in 110 Meter Hurdles. The girls 400 Meter Relay

team also came home with a win. The team of Banik, Blackwith, Park and Peder-sen won it with a time of 58.27 seconds.

Sam Clark became the fastest man in the 100 Me-ter Dash with a time of 11.13 seconds when he edged Seth Buer who crossed in second place. Cody Buer took fi rst place in the triple jump with a winning distance of 39’1”. The Crusader boys had two winning relay teams during the meet. The 400 Meter Relay team completed the quickest lap in 46.29 sec-onds with the four legs ran by Buer, Buer, Clark and Buer. The 3200 Meter Re-lay team of Hass, McClain, Burma, and Kassa showed their endurance by win-ning in 9:46.23.

The end of the track season is quickly ap-proaching and will con-clude with the state fi nals at the end of the month.

Outlaws drop fourth preseason game in a row

Butch KnouseIt was a beautiful night

at the Miller Speedway, al-though it did get cool after sundown, the crowd came prepared. There were 36 cars on hand for the sea-son opener, sponsored by Midwest Rural Water.

The Pump N Pak UCAR feature was lead fl ag to fl ag by 30 year veter-an Dale Wampler, who was making his fi rst race ever at the Miller Speed-way. It�was of course his fi rst win at the Speedway, with Brandon Hammill, Tre Blasdell, Mike Hammill and Jackie Hoftzer round-ing out the top fi ve.

The WISSOTA Street Stock feature was a wild one with Michael Bogh holding off the fi elds in a wild race with battles all through the pack. After the white fl ag Tyler Lamb hit a terragator tire in the mid-dle of turns one and two.

That set up a green white checker fi nish. On the backstretch on the last lap Blayne Baloun and Chris Serr got togeth-er with Serr briefl y riding up over one of Baloun’s tires before falling back to earth, but neither driv-er lifted. They got togeth-er again in turn four with Baloun spinning and get-ting clipped by a couple of the trailing cars. The top fi ve was Bogh, Serr, Doug Songer, Lamb and Kyle Bertsch slipping through for fi fth after Jodie Mi-chaelsohn got bottled up behind Serr and Baloun on the last lap. After the race Baloun pulled up next to Serr and expressed�an opinion�on�Serr’s driv-ing, with the crowd�join-ing in when Serr got out of his car to collect�the Miller Speedway’s traditional sec-ond place watermelon.�It was Bogh’s 10th feature win at the speedway, ty-ing him for third on the list with Serr.

The WISSOTA Midwest Modifi ed feature proved to be hard on the equip-ment. While David Carl-son was leading the race, Lane Johnson was caught up in traffi c and spun com-ing out of turn four. Every-

one managed to miss him, but cars in the back of the pack almost came to a stop with Britt Williams having nowhere to go and he end-ed smacking the outside wall with a loud smack. Johnson drove back to the pits, but retired from the race, with Williams going off on the hook.

On the restart, Dustin Hofer suffered a front sus-pension failure going into turn one and did two quick, hard barrel rolls. Luckily he had restarted on the outside row so no-body else was involved. Carlson led all the way over Tracy Johnson, Lorin Johnson, Kyle Knouse and Jim Danburg. It was Carl-son’s third MW Mod fea-ture win at Miller Speed-way.

The WISSOTA Su-per Stocks capped off the night, with Dustin Ar-thur running away on the start. On the fi fth lap Lo-rin Johnson spun in turn 3 and then retired from the race. Josh Starrett got the jump on Alan Dorris on the restarted and was run-ning a solid third when his engine failed, result-ing in an under the hood fi re. When he realized the problem he stopped on the backstretch and let the fi re trucks come to him. The fi re crews got it knocked down right away.

Arthur led�the rest of�the way over Cole Sear-ing and Dorris for his 19th career feature win at the track.Miller Speedway ResultsMay 23, 2014WISSOTA Super Stock main: 1.

Student News

As the weather warms and we spend more time outdoors, the risk of mos-quito bites increases, which means now is the time to take precautions to prevent West Nile virus. Since 2002, 2,111 South Da-kotans have been reported with West Nile disease and 32 individuals have died. Many more have been in-fected, but not ill enough to seek medical care. South Dakota cases have oc-curred as early as June but peak transmission is July through early September.

“South Dakota suffers a disproportionately high number of people with West Nile so we need to take safety measures for the virus every year just as we do for every fl u sea-son,” said Dr. Lon Kight-linger, state epidemiologist for the South Dakota De-partment of Health. “West Nile is a serious and some-times fatal illness, but we can all take easy precau-tions to prevent it.”

People can prevent mos-quito bites and reduce their risk of WNV by:

· Using mosquito re-pellents (DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR3535) and limit exposure by covering up.

· Limiting time out-doors from dusk to mid-night when Culex mosqui-toes are most active. Culex

are the primary carrier of WNV in South Dakota.

· Getting rid of stand-ing water that gives mos-quitoes a place to breed. Regularly changing wa-ter in bird baths, outside pet dishes, and drain water from other fl ower pots and garden containers.

· Supporting local mos-quito control efforts.

People at high risk for WNV include: people over 50, pregnant wom-en, transplant patients, in-dividuals with diabetes or high blood pressure and those with a history of al-cohol abuse.

South Dakota cities, counties and tribes can ap-ply for $500,000 in grant funding to help control mosquitoes and prevent West Nile virus. Grant ap-plications are available on the department’s WNV website, http://westnile.sd.gov, and are due June 8. Awards will be issued af-ter July 1.

For more information about West Nile, visit the Department of Health web-site, http://westnile.sd.gov, or call 1-800-592-1861. In-formation is also available from the SDSU Coopera-tive Extension Service at http://sdces.sdstate.edu/westnile/ and the South Dakota Animal Industry Board at www.state.sd.us/aib.

Two health professions students will call Mill-er home for four weeks this summer as they learn fi rst-hand about providing healthcare in rural South Dakota.

Pharmacy student Cath-erine Creech, a native of Estherville, Iowa, and at-tending South Dakota State University (SDSU) along with SDSU Doctor of Nurs-ing Practice student, Kim-berly Schmidt, a native of Dell Rapids, were selected in a competitive process to participate in the Rural Ex-periences for Health Pro-fessions Students (REHPS) in 2014 at Miller. Mill-er was selected as a “Best Practice Model” site for REHPS this year.

The REHPS program connects interprofessional students enrolled in med-ical, physician assistant, advanced practice nurs-ing, and pharmacy pro-grams through the Univer-sity of South Dakota, SDSU and Mount Marty College with medical professionals practicing in 11 rural South Dakota, host communi-ties. The program has ex-panded each year since its inception in 2011 starting with three sites – Parkston, Redfi eld and Wessington Springs. This year, Miller is joined by Bowdle, Custer,

Parkston, Philip, Platte, Redfi eld, Sisseton, Wag-ner, Webster and Winner. The 2014 REHPS program is funded by the South Da-kota Department of Health, Offi ce of Rural Health.

In addition to the en-riching career experience, students also will be in-volved in a community project designed to pro-vide interaction with peo-ple outside of a clinical set-ting. Students will work to build wellness coalitions in coordination with an effort by Suzanne Stluka, Food & Families Program Direc-tor, with SDSU Extension. Building a foundation for a wellness coalition works toward a goal of a systemic approach to reverse our en-vironments that encourage

Anthony Hailstock, 47, of Mauldin, SC and Ste-phen Porter, 58, of High-more, were involved in a two-vehicle accident on US Hwy 14 one mile east of Ree Heights, the afternoon of May 23.

Hailstock was driving his 2009 Freightliner, tow-ing a trailer full of bird-seed, east on US Hwy 14 when he came up behind Porter, who was also east-bound, driving a CASE 9390 with a piece of tillage equipment.

Hailstock was in the process of passing Por-ter, when Porter made a left-hand turn, striking the front of Hailstock’s trailer, causing Hailstock’s semi to jack-knife and roll onto its side. The semi and trail-er completely blocked the highway, shutting it down for fi ve hours until the semi could be removed from the accident scene.

Assisting at the scene

was the Hand County Am-bulance, the Miller Fire De-partment, and the South Dakota Highway Patrol.

Hailstock was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries and released a short time later. Porter did not report any injuries.

The accident remains under investigation by the South Dakota Highway Pa-trol.

Former Miller man injured in

one car accidentBradley Joseph Clement,

42, of Watertown, formerly of Miller, was involved in a single vehicle accident one mile north of St. Lawrence, the morning of May 28.

According to the Hand County Sheriff’s depart-ment, Clement was trav-eling southbound on 363rd Avenue when he had a medical problem arise, causing him to lose control of his 2012 Mitsubishi Out-lander. The vehicle exit-ed the road to the east and traveled through a wheat fi eld, hitting an embank-ment on the north side of 197th Street, before fl ying through the air and slam-ming down into the south ditch.

The Hand County Am-bulance and Miller Fire De-partment assisted at the scene. Clement was trans-ported by ambulance to Avera Hand County Memo-rial Hospital and was re-leased later the same day.

overeating and low physi-cal activity thus leading to high rates of overweight/obese residents and over-all poor health. Keep up-to-date with REHPS activities throughout the summer at www.rehps.org.

Cheri Buffi ngton, REHPS Program Manager, said the REHPS summer experience provides a unique experi-ence for students and an effective tool for healthcare facility recruitment.

“What better way to in-troduce soon-to-be profes-sionals to potential career paths than to host them in these innovative, ru-ral communities. Exposing students to these positive experiences, especially ear-ly on, increases the likeli-hood of their return to ru-ral areas after graduation,” Buffi ngton said.

South Dakota is ex-periencing a shortage of healthcare workers. The number of high school graduates in the state de-creases as the number of retirees is increasing. Be-tween now and 2018, 10 percent of the new jobs in South Dakota will be healthcare related. Fifty-three of South Dakota’s 66 counties are designated completely or partially as health professional short-age areas.

After having made a re-cent move, I can’t help but feel blessed that we have it so much easier than our predecessors did when they made the deci-sion to resettle. I’m not re-ferring to such luxuries as motorized vehicles, tele-phones, or food (from gro-cery stores or restaurants) right at our fi ngertips. I’m instead referring to items that have made life so much easier on many lev-els, never imagined by ear-lier settlers.

Take, for instance, WD-40. It can be a lifesaver. Not long after I moved, I discovered I had two tem-peramental doors. The side door was tough to lock and unlock. The lock just didn’t turn as it was sup-posed to. I’d had my fi ghts with that door early on. It is situated so it catches the wind when it’s opened, which I learned the hard way.

One of the fi rst days in my new home, I was strug-gling to take a box or two out to the side deck, while holding onto the door. A gust of wind pulled the boxes from my hand and sent me across the deck. I nursed a skinned knee for nearly a month.

The outside front door tended to “freeze up” and not want to open when it rained. I fi ddled with the lock, determined it wasn’t locked, but it didn’t want to open easily.

Ta-da. WD-40 to the res-cue in each case.

I’d known, of course, the miracle of WD-40 for a long time. But I am always amazed that it can make such a difference in diffi -cult situations.

I haven’t had much oc-casion to utilize duct tape this time around, but I also know it has great, miracu-lous uses when necessary. And, it does also do a good job sealing moving boxes when one runs out of regu-lar packing tape.

I’ve also discovered the wonders of double-backed tape. My fl oors are wooden laminate throughout. I like them, and they’re easy to care for, but I of course put down several area rugs, and a couple could easi-ly be “moved around” by

my furry housemates. Dou-ble-stick tape has appeared to deter them, and also is useful to keep my bed ruf-fl e in place. When you can’t nail something down, the tape is a good alterna-tive.

Heavy straight pins are a wonderful alternative to nails when putting up pic-tures and other wall hang-ings that don’t weigh a lot. It saves from leaving nail holes and sometimes dam-aging the paint.

And fi nally, I’ve been blessed with a good amount of second-hand stores (Goodwill, Salvation Army, Boys’ Club, etc.). If you look long enough, you can fi nd almost anything, for next to nothing.

The one thing I didn’t like in the house was the curtains. They were dark and rather used. I replaced curtains I had in my bed-room, the offi ce, kitch-en and front door win-dow. I put in new curtains in the spare bedroom, but there was a “gap” to be fi lled. My daughter-in-law came to the rescue with curtains for the liv-ing room, a la Goodwill, at about a dollar a panel. She knows I like lace curtains, and she found some beau-tiful ones. In fact, I used one of the panels to fi ll the gap in the spare bedroom curtains.

We are truly blessed with modern convenienc-es in nearly every situa-tion, and my trek to a new home took a matter of hours, rather than days. It was cool, so I could adjust the thermostat. The fridge was plugged in, lights went on, and in a matter of a day or two I was watching TV and washing clothes.

St. Joseph is reputed to be the patron saint of mov-ing, and he helped me out. But I gotta give credit to WD-40, tape and second-hand items. Taken togeth-er, it all made a big change much easier.

A little help for the ‘moving challenged’

I have been looking for-ward to visiting England and Scotland for a very long time and fi nally, this year I did it. It has been a wonderful trip and the people are great. The only piece of advice I have for someone thinking about going to England is that you should make darn sure you use the restroom be-fore you leave the United States!

I have always admired the British, but I didn’t know that one of the things I should be admir-ing them for is that ev-eryone in the British Isles has a pair of cast iron kid-neys! I’m sorry to write about such a distasteful subject, but I truly found the bathroom issue a chal-lenging one. Since I was ill last winter, I have found that I need to drink a lot of water. I feel much bet-ter if I am well-hydrated. It’s a good thing to do, but it also means that my bath-room habits have changed. I need facilities much more often. In England, that has been a challenge to say the least.

I fi nd that there are not the number of public toi-lets there that we have here and the ones they

have are not particular-ly well marked. So, I must conclude that having to go frequently is not the is-sue for them that it is for me. That means that ev-ery time I have stopped to see a tourist site, I have fi rst had to make a frantic search for a bathroom.

This might not seem like such a big deal to you, but for me, a full blad-der empties my mind. They don’t call them “re-strooms” in England, they call them “toilets.” So, when at a distance, I see a sign that says, “Toilets” I rush towards them like a madwoman. Then, I ar-rive at the sign and discov-er that instead of saying “Toilets” it says, “To Let.” There are a couple of emp-ty properties in England that are for rent that nearly had a desperate woman go in and use a back corner for a bathroom!

Then, there is the term, “It’s very easy.” I’ve learned that I will nev-

er say that to anyone ever again, because sometimes, fi nding the toilet is NOT easy at all. “Just go out the door, around the cor-ner, turn left and then turn right and you’ll fi nd pub-lic toilets. It’s easy.” The girl had a lovely smile and a helpful manner, but she was dealing with a wom-an whose need for a bath-room verged on murder-ous.

This brings me to the is-sue of PtP (Paying to Pee). Many of the public toi-lets in Britain were pay toi-lets. Now, at fi rst when I ran into these PtP toilets, I was a little outraged. But on refl ection, I have decid-ed there are a couple of ad-vantages to having these PtP toilets. One, they are almost always manned by someone making cer-tain the money is collected and that means the toilets are always well-cleaned and functioning. The oth-er advantage seems to be that when you are crossing your legs in the agony of needing a bathroom, you learn quickly the difference between a pound coin and a 50 pence and a 20 pence. There were times when, standing there, I wanted to throw a fi ve pound note at

them and just beg them to let me in!

I thought at fi rst I had solved this problem be-cause usually there is a Subway or a McDonald’s somewhere around the shopping area. I could just go in there, buy a drink and use their bathrooms. However, even my lousy grasp of English money soon realized I was spend-ing way more for the soft drink than I would spend to get into the public toi-let. “20 Pence? Great, just take what you need,” I say desperately, holding out a handful of incomprehen-sible coins. Everytime that happens the song, “Broth-er, Can You Spare a Dime?” runs through my head. I don’t laugh, though, be-cause laughing when I’m in that state can only lead to the grief of a wet acci-dent.

When I got home, I went into the bathroom, knelt down beside my toi-let and said, “Hello, toi-let. There you are, right where I can fi nd you and without a 20-pence ma-chine between me and you. I LOVED England and I’m going again. But when I do, you’re the fi rst thing I’m going to pack!”

From week of May 18-24The weather has been

one that is more like spring with the temper-atures into the 70’s and 80’s for daytime highs and a shower that added up the total of the precipita-tion for the month by .02 of an inch–hardly enough to measure. Of course, the wind blows some nearly everyday–some days not as strong as other days. The farmers are still put-ting in some of their crops and the corn is getting in.

Delton and Carole Beck went to Sioux Falls on Thursday where Delton had a doctor’s appoint-ment. Holly Schaefers, Clear Lake, took them.

The Ree Heights Fire Department was called out on Friday to help direct traffi c while Highway 14 was closed due to an acci-dent that blocked the en-tire road. They were there until they could get the semi off the road. It was closed for about four to fi ve hours. Luckily there were no major injuries.

Jared, Laura, Noah, Jo-nah and Lydia Beck, Hu-ron were Sunday dinner and supper guests at the Delton and Carole Beck home.From week of May 25-31

Weather has been more like summer than spring, with temperatures into the 80’s and 90’s most days. We had thunder-storms with a tornado lo-cated northwest of town on Friday afternoon. It was down for a short time but have not heard of any damage. There was also fl ooding in another part of the county, caused by a downpour. It is raining right now and there is still a chance of more storms for today and tomorrow.

We had .85 of an inch for yesterday and since last night we have had an-other .22 so over an inch of rain for the week. There was also a report of a little hail in the rain yesterday.

Delton and Carole Beck went to Sioux Falls on Fri-

day where Delton had an appointment. They accom-panied Margie Parmely, Miller.

Guests at the Delton and Carole Beck home on Memorial Day were : Allen and Holly Schaefers, Clear Lake; Jared, Laura, Noah, Jonah and Lydia Beck, Hu-ron and Jeff, Margie , Tara and Trevor Parmely, Miller.

A nice sized crowd at-tended the Memorial Day Services at the Ree Heights Auditorium. The potluck lunch following was at-tended by many of them.

Laugh of the Week: When my pregnant sis-ter, Jen, came home from her doctor’s appointment, she told her four year old daughter, Callie , that she would soon have a baby brother. With a puzzled look on her face, Callie asked, “But Mommy, how does the doctor know it’s a brother?” Jen explained that the doctor took a spe-cial picture of the inside of her tummy . As Callie ex-amined the fuzzy ultra-sound picture, she fi nally looked up with an under-standing look on her face and said, “Ohhh, I know. The baby has a boy hair-cut!

ObituariesLorraine Rosina Martin-

maas was born March 14, 1919 to Mary and Hen-ry Kuper in Miller, SD. She was the eldest of 11 chil-dren. She died on April 19, 2014. Mass of Christian Burial was at St. Vincent De Paul Cath-olic Church, Salem, Ore-gon.

Lorraine en-joyed being with her family most of all, hearing children laugh and play; holding them on her ample lap always made her smile. She loved her quiet time for contemplating, re-ceiving and writing letters and is most remembered as a mom, grandmother, great grandmother for her faith, kindness, gentleness and her nervous giggle.

Her biggest hopes and dreams were for her fam-ily’s happiness and some-day being in heaven with God and her loved ones.

Lorraine is survived by her children, who say they are all better people

because of her: Marlene (Bob) Gerig, David (Loli-

ta) Martinmaas, Al-lan (Sherryl) Mar-

tinmaas, Kevin (Lisa) Martin-maas, Craig (Vicky) Mar-tinmaas, Steven (Vonnie) Martin-maas, Re-nee Shewey,

Karen (Paul) Dryden, Pam

(Wayne) Stan-ley and Michelle

(Marshall) Buch-holz; sister, Viola Martin-maas; brothers Leo, Je-rome, Clarence, and Don Kuper; 33 grandchildren, 47 great grandchildren, 10 great-great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Tony; her son Dennis; grandsons Phil-ip Martinmaas and An-drew Mellon; great grand-son Jason Gerig; sisters Eileen Boehmer and Mar-gie Kuper; brothers, “Bud”, George and James Kuper.

On November 7, 1950, Dean entered the U.S. Navy and served as an avi-ation machinist during the Korean War. He was as-signed to Navy bases in California, Hawaii, and Ja-pan. His Navy schools were located in Memphis, TN, and Jacksonville, FL. He was honorably dis-charged on September 14, 1954. He returned to Wol-sey and attended Huron College.

On September 25, 1955, Dean married Donna Glea-son in Huron. In 1959 they moved to Conde, SD, and returned to Wolsey in 1964. They lived there un-til moving into Huron in 2009.

Dean was a district su-perintendent for NWPS (NorthWestern Public Ser-vice) from 1955-77. In 1973 Dean entered the pe-troleum business with Dean’s Standard Service and started the operation of the McGillvrey Oil Com-pany in 1982.

He was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Par-ish, Lions Club, volunteer fi refi ghter, American Le-gion, VFW, and 40 et 8. His passion for music included singing, playing guitar and the mouth-organ. He also enjoyed hunting, fi shing, bowling, and playing cards with family and friends.

He is survived by his wife, Donna of Huron; fi ve

children, James (Car-oline) McGillvrey

of Wolsey and their eight chil-dren and sev-en grandchil-dren:

Tony Venjohn, 37, of Piedmont, SD, passed away May 25, 2014, in Piedmont due to a four-wheeler accident. Mass of Chris-tian Burial was May 30 at Blessed Sacrament Church with Fr. Steve Biegler as celebrant. Interment followed at Piedmont Cemetery.

Tony was born April 7, 1977, in Miller, South Dako-ta, to Duke and Peg Ven-john. He attended St. Li-borius Catholic School in Polo, South Dakota, and graduated high school from Miller, South Dako-ta. Tony attended Lake Area Technical Institute in Watertown for a carpen-try and civil engineering degree. He then moved to the Black Hills and took a job with the Department of Transportation in Rap-id City.

Tony met Marla Carmi-chael in Wall, SD, in July 2003. They got married on July 16, 2005. They moved to Piedmont, SD, where they constructed their own home from the ground up and currently still reside. Five years ago, Tony start-ed A Royal Flush Porta-bles, a portable toilet com-pany with good friend Jon Haneke. Then, two years later, he started Advanced Restoration, a water resto-ration company. Both busi-nesses thrived because of Tony’s knack for socializa-tion.

Tony loved to go four-

wheeling with his wife and children along with fam-ily and friends. He loved

the outdoors and always lived life to the full-

est. When Tony would meet

someone, you were a friend forever. Tony loved to enter-tain people and always had some-thing up his

sleeve.He is sur-

vived by his wife Marla (Car-

michael), sons Ma-son (6) and Cooper (3)

of Piedmont, SD; his par-ents Duke and Peg Ven-john of Custer; sisters Shelly (Brad) Martinmaas of Orient, SD; Trixie (Brad) Grill of Hot Springs, SD, and Tina (Aaron) Borns of Council Bluffs, Iowa; niec-es and nephews: Keri, Ash-ley, Rachael, Cody and Bailey Martinmaas, Braden and Brylee Grill, Katlyn, Ellie and Blake Borns. Great neices and neph-ew: Charli and Saige Mar-tinmaas (Keri Martinmaas and Anthony Jungwirth) and Ethan Shanks (Ash-ley Martinmaas and Bry-an Shanks) and Mayleigh Borns (Katlyn Borns).

He is preceded in death by his sister Lindsey K. Venjohn; father-in-law Lyle Carmichael; mater-nal grandparents John and Kitty Ortmeier; paternal grandparents Arnold and Minnie Venjohn; and Un-cle Ed Venjohn.

A memorial has been established.

May 29, 1914At eight o’clock

Wednesday evening, May 27, occurred the mar-riage of the daughter of F.A. Loveless, their old-est daughter, Leafy Pearl, to Mr. Clarence Virgil Gardiner. The bride, al-though but a short time resident of our city, is one of our loveliest and most accomplished young la-dies, has a large circle of friends and admirers. The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Gardin-er and was born on the farm in Midland Town-ship. He has held the po-sition of assistant cashier in the local bank for sever-al years. One year ago he purchased an interest in the Vayland Bank, becom-ing its cashier.

The C&NW bridge crew and building gang were here a week, putting up a new windmill over the

railroad spring south of town, putting in some new planks in the walk and making other improve-ments about the depot.

The Ree Heights School closed today. Teachers and pupils have put in nine months of hard work, and are now ready to enjoy the long summer vacation.

May 30, 1924Mrs. Jacob Kost of

south of town passed away at the Miller Hospital early Wednesday morning.

Mr. Hofbeck and Miss Conger left for their homes at Big Stone City, S.D. and Ewing, N.D. last Fri-day evening. Both of these teachers were given an op-portunity to return next year, but so far as we can learn, neither has accept-ed.

June 1, 1934In spite of the uncom-

monly hot, dry weather, a goodly number of people

turned out to assist with the Memorial Day program Wednesday afternoon. According to reports at Pierre, a high temperature of 107 was recording, set-ting a May all-time high. The program was cut short due to the extreme heat.

A heavy windstorm car-rying tons of dirt struck here about 4 p.m. Thurs-day afternoon, shutting out the sunlight and turn-ing the day darker than night. Dirt sifted into ev-ery crack and crevice of buildings until it was about as dense inside as it was out, following an ex-tremely hot day as it did, the air becoming stifl ing inside. The storm contin-ued until about 5 o’clock.

The sudden death of John Werdel Wednesday morning at Pierre came as a shock to relatives and friends. Mr. Werdel had been suffering with se-

vere headaches caused from a growth in his nose. His condition had not been considered serious when he went to Pierre to have the growth removed. Sometime after the oper-ation, however, a hemor-rhage developed. This had been checked Wednes-day morning and it was thought he was out of dan-ger. He leaves to mourn his departure his wife and seven children, the old-est of which is 11. Also his mother, Mrs. Peter Werdel, sisters and brothers and many friends.

The Standard Oil bulk station was closed here last Monday. What stock was on hand was moved to stations elsewhere. We still have two good tank lines here, if you are in need of petroleum prod-ucts, you have no trou-ble getting prompt service. These are the boys you

should remember when times come back. And times will come back.

June 2, 1944Monday night, members

of the local Farmers Union and others interested in the purchase and opera-tion of the Farmers Union store here met in the town hall, at which time a tem-porary board of directors was elected to go ahead with the purchase. The temporary board members were Bob Leyson, Ed Faw-cett, Ronald Henson, Milo Steele and Douglas Scott.

June 4, 1954Mrs. Roy Hammill un-

derwent a major spinal op-eration at St. John’s Hos-pital in Huron Wednesday morning, June 2. She is re-ported to be doing as well as can be expected.

Funeral services were held today at the Presby-terian Church in Miller for Mrs. C.W. Gardner, who passed away May 31 at the home of her son, Charles Gardner, Jr., at College Park, Md. She was instru-mental in organizing the Hand County Library and became its fi rst librarian, serving in that capacity until January 1, 1954.

May 29, 1964St. Joseph’s Catholic

Church in Wessington was the setting for the double ring ceremony which unit-ed in marriage Miss Lin-da Hedge and Steve Han-cock. The Rev. Fr. Albin Bialogowski offi ciated at the Nuptial High Mass at

10 o’clock Saturday morn-ing. Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Hedge, Wessington, and Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Han-cock, Ree Heights.

Terry Struse and Tom Hayes, Miller, hitchhiked to Ree Heights Satur-day afternoon and visit-ed Terry’s grandparents, the Lloyd Phinneys, and were overnight guests of his grandmother, Harri-et Struse. His brother Per-ry drove over Sunday and got them.

May 31, 1974Mr. and Mrs. Les Kam-

stra and younger children of Brookings were here for Memorial Day services at Miller and Ree Heights. Mrs. Kamstra is the for-mer Peggy Leach, daugh-ter of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Leach of Sturgis. She grew up in Ree Heights, grad-uating from high school here.

A large crowd attended the Memorial Day dinner at the church following theservices at the cemetery. All enjoyed the fellowship and visiting with so many old friends. The list is end-less of the people who re-turn here each year to par-ticipate in the activities.

May 31, 1984Scott’s Tavern will have

a pork barbecue June 2 at 6:30 for their grand open-ing. Everyone is invited to attend.

:kcaB gnikooLfrom the fi les of the Ree Heights Review

compiled byJeanie Hartman

In the ‘70s we saw an era of “free love” representing openness, sharing, and a lot of sexual activity with mul-tiple partners. But is all that sharing a good thing?

Consider a few facts about sexually transmitted infec-tions or STI:

Fact: Human Papillo-ma Virus, also called HPV or genital warts, is the most common STI, currently infec-tious in 79 Million people in the US or 25% of the popu-lation. HPV can cause cervi-cal cancer, however scientists have developed a vaccine that prevents and protects against HPV warts and there-fore cervical cancer.

Fact: Herpes Simplex Vi-rus causes cold sores, a lip/skin infection that perma-nently resides in about 70% of all people by the age of 50. A genital STI version infects at least 20% of all adults, with 90% being unaware of it.

Fact: Chlamydia is a bac-terial STI that newly infects 3 million people per year, is si-lent up to 70% of the time, and yet 20-40% of untreat-ed chlamydia infections in women cause painful pelvic infl ammatory disease or PID, which too commonly cause ectopic pregnancy or infer-tility.

Fact: Gonorrhea, another bacterial STI, like chlamyd-ia can sometimes infect with-out symptoms, but can also cause PID and infertility. The new big-time problem with gonorrhea is resistance to an-tibiotics.

Fact: The protozoan Trichomonas, another STI, often causes no symptoms, but can cause itching, bad body odor, painful inter-course, PID, infertility, and premature low-birth-weight

babies. Fact: The incidence of Pu-

bic Lice or “Crabs” is one in 90 people in the US.

Fact: More than 15% of all people infected with HIV in the US do not know they are infected. Another HIV fact: 50% of all cases are not just involving men who have sex with men.

Fact: South and North Da-kota are having an ongoing syphilis outbreak, the worst in 50 years, with a recent case of syphilis spread to an infant. The Health Depart-

ment is calling all health care providers to test for syphilis three times during all preg-nancies. People with pain-less ulcer on groin or mouth, new bumpy rash, or patchy hair-loss, should seek treat-ment to avoid severe nerve or brain destruction from this STI.

So it is: sharing of love can bring sharing of mali-cious infections. I guess “free love” is not so free after all.

853-3285Hours:

Closed MondaysTues - Fri 9 am to 12 pm &

1 pm to 5 pmWe are providers for VSP, Blue Shield,

Medicare, Medicaid and others.

Q: I need a surgical pro-cedure, and want to fi nd the best hospital to have it done. Can Medicare help me and my doctor in this search process?

A: Yes, Medicare has lots of information avail-able to help you. Of course, if you need emer-gency treatment, go to the hospital closest to you without delay. But if you need treatment that isn’t an emergency, you should take time to do some “homework” in advance.

First, talk to your doctor or health care provider, to fi nd out which hospital(s) they work with. Ask him or her which hospitals will provide the best care for your needs – things like enough staffi ng, coordina-tion of care, and patient safety.

Next, check your in-surance coverage. Does

the hospital participate in Medicare? Most do, but if you have a Medicare Ad-vantage plan, be sure to check with the plan, as not all hospitals may be within the plan’s network.

By now, you may be considering just a few pos-sible locations for your procedure, and this is where Medicare’s Hospi-tal Compare tool can be a huge help for people with Original Medicare.

This easy-to-use part of the Medicare website can provide information about which hospitals have ex-tensive experience in the procedure you are con-sidering; which hospitals give recommended treat-ments for certain common conditions like heart fail-ure, pneumonia, and sur-gery; and which hospitals have scored well in recent surveys of discharged pa-

tients. This means those who have actually been in that hospital rate how well the doctors and nurses communicate with them, and how well they manage the patient’s plan of care.

To use this tool, go to www.medicare.gov/hospi-talcompare/search/aspx. Click on “Find and Com-pare Hospitals.” From there, you can enter a spe-cifi c hospital name, or a lo-cation. For example, if you want to consider going to a hospital far from home, but near family members, you can compare hospitals in the distant city easily. You can do a general search, a search based on your med-ical condition, or a search based on a specifi c surgical procedure. You can com-pare up to three hospitals, side by side, to get a good look at their performance.

There may be oth-

er sources of information about hospital quality for you to use, as well. Some states require hospitals to report and post their re-sults online, and these may differ from those on the Medicare website (for ex-ample, they may cover a different time period).

Together, these tools can help you learn about and understand the differ-ences among the hospi-tals you may be consider-ing, and help you make an informed decision about your health care.

If you have a ques-tion about Medicare, call 1-800-MEDICARE, which is, 1-800-633-4227. Medi-care’s national toll-free helpline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or visit www.medi-care.gov for information and answers.

MAKING MEDICARE MAKE SENSE

Answers To Some of Th e Most Commonly Asked Medicare Questions

(StatePoint) Buying a cell phone, despite all the options for models and stylish cases, is no easy task. Endless questions crop up about calling plans, data plans, voice-mail and insurance. Get-ting a new phone may be a task that happens more often than you like -- as one in three smartphones are damaged within the fi rst year of purchase.

So how can you make sure you’re making the best decisions?

Comparison ShopSurf the web and read

customer reviews to de-termine what features are priorities for you and what phone delivers on them. There’s no sense in purchasing a more costly device with fea-tures you’ll never use. Some manufacturers of-fer rebates, which can signifi cantly lower the cost of your new phone. So investigate your dis-count options.

Know YourselfWill you be using your

phone for everything? Do you make a lot of calls or are you a big texter, me-dia streamer or Web surf-er? Know your needs. If your voice minutes and data plan are limit-

ed, you may end up in-curring additional fees. Find out what free apps can help cut down on ex-tra costs and honestly as-sess your communication needs before committing to a plan.

Get ProtectionWhile manufacturers’

warranties cover mal-functions for reasons be-yond the user’s con-trol, the reality is that accidents are just wait-ing to happen. From short-circuiting in the pool to shattering on the sidewalk, you’ll be stuck paying $650 for an iPhone or $545 for a Samsung Galaxy, if your phone breaks without a protection plan. But cost-ly insurance through your mobile carrier is what makes many con-sumers balk at the idea of insuring their devices. On average, a consumer pays $10 or more month-ly, plus deductibles of $175 or more.

Far more sensible op-tions are out there. For example, SquareTrade of-fers $5 a month protec-tion plans with a $75 de-ductible – that’s less than half of what most mo-bile carriers charge. And SquareTrade allows for

up to four repairs or re-placements within your two-year plan. For Ap-ple devices, look into Ap-plecare. SquareTrade or ApplcCare are far more economical than getting insurance through your mobile carrier. More in-formation can be found at www.SquareTrade.com.

Take PrecautionsEven with a great pro-

tection plan, you can avoid the hassle of a mal-functioning phone with a bit of accident preven-tion. A well-fi tting hard case or cover can protect your phone from slips, trips and falls. Don’t take your phone into the bathroom with you -- one in 10 Americans has dropped their phone in the toilet. Don’t leave it on the table when you’re dining and never leave it in your lap: too many people see their phone fall to its death when standing up or getting out of the car.

If it’s time to upgrade your phone or change plans, take your time and do your research. And make sure you protect that device that most of us can’t live without.

Th inking of buying a new cell phone? Four things to know before you do

Will you be remodel-ing your home or doing any home improvement projects this season? Planning ahead and us-ing new available tech-nologies can help you de-sign and prioritize your updates and projects.

Get InspiredWhat does the ide-

al kitchen look like to you? What does your dream bathroom include? Whereas those with ren-ovation aspirations may have once scoured home design magazines for the perfect idea, clipping photos and fi ling them away, new technologies are helping people digi-tally organize this pro-cess.

No matter what your style is, fi nding an exam-ple of the design you’re going for online can help you communicate your vision to the contrac-tor or architect doing the work.

And there are many free resources available to help you in your quest for the perfect look. For example, the National Kitchen & Bath Associa-tion (NKBA) has a gal-lery of free ideas that can help you get inspired and free project planners to

help in every step of the remodeling process.

ShareThe major decisions

that happen during the home improvement pro-cess are rarely made by one person alone. It’s all about collaboration be-tween friends, family and professionals.

Consider using a free iPad app such as Design-Mine to share your de-sign ideas. DesignMine allows you to create per-sonalized albums and de-sign boards by brows-ing through thousands of high quality photos of exterior and interior spaces of real homes.

These personalized de-sign boards can then be saved for later additions or shared with friends, family and design profes-sionals. Collaborating on ideas can smoothly tran-sition the project from design to reality.

“The most common cause for home projects taking longer and cost-ing more than budgeted is lack of planning,” said DesignMine’s Chief De-signer, Alison Victoria. “Collaborating on ideas with a professional from the beginning is key.�It can help you avoid these

extra costs and time as-sociated with having to make changes in the de-sign halfway through the project.”

CreateWhen you’re ready to

bring your vision to life, you can fi nd a local ser-vice professional by us-ing a free resource such as HomeAdvisor. All of HomeAdvisor’s service professionals are pre-screened and customer-rated and reviewed.

Whether you remodel your home with a fresh look, or return to a clas-sic aesthetic, let mod-ern technology help you design, plan, and create your dream home.

The welcome rains ac-cumulated into puddles and ditches with water, which will be a big plus to stimulate the green growth needed this season of the year. Yes, moisture ham-pers plans to go forward with planting and mow-ing and gardening, but one knows not to complain about the rain since it is a necessary factor for the end result.

Attempts to give you some amounts will be ‘as usual’ in that they show amounts vary just a few miles apart.

Orient’s weekend amount was 2.37 mak-ing the total 2.51 for the month. Obviously that means they were dry until the May calendar page was ready to be turned to June

East of �Polo was where the sky opened up and dumped the 6.75 inches on Friday afternoon in the area around Tony and Deli-la Coyles and the Hargens’ a couple miles northeast of Hwy 26 and Hwy 45. Their total amount received thru

Sunday was 9.10 inches.A couple miles north

and west of Polo the gaug-es had 1.80, while further north the report was ‘not much’. Reports from south-east of Polo were about 2.90; further south, 2.30; west of Polo was 1.80 and Orient’s report was 2.37 for over the weekend. Orient’s total being 2.51 for the month obviously means they were dry until the May calendar page was ready to be turned to June. �

SYMPATHIES EXTEND-ED

The Orient and Polo communities extend sin-cere sympathy to the fam-ily of Robert Wieseler, 78, who passed away Sunday, June 1, 2014 in Aberdeen. Robert and Virginia have made their home northeast

of Polo where they were active in the community. When the children were school age, their summers were especially busy with the summer ball programs from Orient.

Joe & Chris Schae-fers, Jerome and Tam-mie Schaefers, Patrick and Emily Schaefers, all of Polo, Casey and Lisa Aal-bers, Wessington, Don and James Schaefers and Ter-ri Patterson, Jane and Kel-ly Thomas all of Rapid City attended funeral for Dean McGillvrey in Huron, Sat-urday, May 31.

Luke and Suzy Wer-nsmann and Delila Coyle were in Miles City, MT a couple weeks ago to attend the graduation of Dave and Barb Lammers’ grand daughter, Connie. Dave and Barb are former Polo area residents and live in Jordan MT.

Memorial Day servicesThe Polo Legion and

Orient Legion and Auxilia-ry hosted their annual Me-morial Day Services with military rites, at the cem-eteries in Orient and Polo. Following services at the area cemeteries, legion-naire, auxiliary members and families gathered at the Orient and Polo Legion Halls for their annual Me-morial Day potluck fellow-ship time.� Mass at St. Li-borius by Father Murtha preceded the services in Polo and Orient had a pro-gram in the Legion Hall.

Social Security Q&AQ: When did Social Security disability begin?A: The original 1935 Social Security Act contained many

provisions, including unemployment compensation, but in terms of what we now consider Social Security, it introduced only retirement benefi ts at age 65. Survivor and disability benefi ts were parts of subsequent legislation. All of these are based on a person’s work record..

Signed into law by President Eisenhower, the Social Secu-rity Amendments of 1954 initiated a disability insurance pro-gram which provided the public with additional coverage against economic insecurity.

The Amendments of 1954 did not provide a monthly cash benefi t. Instead, the legislation put a “freeze” on a worker’s Social Security record during the years when they were unable to work to prevent such periods of disability from reducing or wiping out future retirement and survivor benefi t.

On August 1, 1956, the Social Security Act was amended to provide benefi ts to disabled workers aged 50-64 and disabled adult children. Then, in September 1960, President Eisenhow-er signed a law amending the disability rules to permit pay-ment of benefi ts to disabled workers of any age and to their dependents.

On May 16, 1966, the one-millionth disabled worker was placed in current payment status on the Social Security dis-ability benefi t rolls. As of December 2012, the number of So-cial Security benefi ciaries nationally receiving disability ben-efi ts totaled 8,826,591 workers, plus an additional 162,550 spouses and 1,900,052 children able to receive family benefi ts through the disabled workers record. Including family mem-bers, disability benefi ts accounted for about 19 percent of all Social Security benefi ts at that time.

For your state and county as of December 2012, learn the number of people receiving Social Security, and the total amount of those benefi ts, in the SSA publication OASDI Ben-efi ciaries by State and County, 2012, online at www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/statcomps/oasdi_sc/2012/index.html. OASDI stands for Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance, the for-mal name for Social Security.

Miller First Baptist Church was in charge of our Sunday worship service on May 25. Pastor Joseph Raleigh led singing, read Scripture from Acts 1:6-11, and gave the message: “Waiting for Him”. Linda Allen played piano for the singing portion of the ser-vice. She also played sever-al hymns for us before and after the service.

Darlene Cox passed out “Buddy Poppies” to all resi-dents and staff on Memori-al Day, May 26. We appre-ciate your thoughtfulness, Darlene!

Some residents went out and others had guests in on Memorial Day.

Father Chester Murtha celebrated Mass Tuesday morning. That afternoon,

Bingo games were played. Helpers were Dorothy En-gelmann, Karen Kleinsass-er, Violet Moncur, Maylou Oakley, LaVonne Puffer and Annette Snodgrass.

Carol Schulz led Rosa-ry Wednesday morning. She also played several hymn selections on the piano for us.

Men’s coffee was served Wednesday morning, as well.

Pastor Mark Johnsen, Miller United Methodist Church, led a Bible study on

Genesis 24:1-9 Wednesday afternoon. The study, “Wis-er by Faith” encouraged us to “tap into the eternal wis-dom of God.”

We were treated to Kev-in’s delicious rhubarb des-sert after the Bible study. The rhubarb came from our rhubarb patch out back.

Card games were played Wednesday evening.

Ladies’ coffee was served Thursday morning.

The annual resident/guest dinner theater took place Thursday evening, us-ing the theme, “Night Out on the Town”. Prom decora-tions were used to support this theme. Tossed salad, grilled steak and shrimp, ranch potatoes, corn and fresh peach cobbler was served. We appreciate Curt

Spangler who did the grill-ing and staff and First Presbyterian Junior Youth Group members, Kylie Selt-ing and Janelle Kenaston, who served the food. Ad-ministrator Laurie Pospisil gave opening remarks and a dinner prayer.

Kevin Hofer introduced the entertainment, which was provided by Abby Turner, who played piano and sang and by Chloe Min-er, who sang. Chloe was ac-companied by Chris Niede-rauer on piano. They did a wonderful job! It was a nice evening out for residents and guests.

Small group participants went outside to view the fl owers Friday morning. In the afternoon, residents en-joyed ice cream bars on the front patio during their out-side time.

Ruth BeckMuch of the winter wheat

in central South Dakota has fi nished the tillering phase of growth and begun to elongate. If the weather con-tinues to provide us with ad-equate moisture, producers may fi nd they would like to add some additional nitro-gen to their crop to ensure nitrogen does not limit yield or protein.

If excellent growing con-ditions exist, producers can add nitrogen in a stream bar to wheat prior to fl ag leaf. If the nitrogen is added prior to a rain it should move into the root zone and be avail-able to the plant relatively quickly.

Nitrogen that is added to wheat after tillering will not affect the head size of the plant since that yield com-ponent has already been set by the plant. However it can increase the seed set, ker-nel size and protein in the plants. These can also affect yield.

If the yield potential of a crop is higher than the yield

goal, research has shown that there is a 70% chance of increasing protein in the grain by applying addition-al nitrogen. If the goal is to increase protein in grain, re-search has shown the ni-trogen can be added as late as post fl owering in wheat. Producers making this de-cision should consider cost of N and application and should also know or have an idea of potential protein dis-counts or premiums.

Some cautions must be taken when foliar N applica-tions are made at fl ag leaf or later to avoid leaf burn. The N source should be UAN or preferably a 20 % low bi-urite liquefi ed urea product. The liquid N should be di-luted 1:1 (UAN: Water) to reduce leaf burn. If possible the nitrogen should be ap-plied on a cool cloudy day or in the early evening when the plants are not under stress or entering a stressful period. The plants should be dry when application takes place. It is not recommend-ed to apply more than 30 lbs

N/acre at this time. Nitrogen applied to wheat post fl ag leaf has been shown to in-crease protein in the grain, however, this protein gain does not necessarily im-prove baking quality of the wheat fl our.

State Treasurer Rich Sattgast is warning the public to check with his offi ce before replying to anyone claiming they can assist in returning unclaimed property. While there are legitimate companies known as asset locators or fi nders who provide this service for a fee, others are scams.

Many South Dakotans are receiving letters from National Claimant Services stating that they have located dormant as-sets in their name.

“National Claimant Services is a legitimate asset locator,” says Sattgast, “but to avoid the fees associated with their ser-vice the public can contact my offi ce directly free of charge.”

Most legitimate locators charge anywhere from 15 to 25 percent of the recovered value with contracts that last for several years, so the public should fi rst check with the Trea-surer’s offi ce before entering any agreement.

There are solicitors who are trying to scam you out of your money. If you have any doubts, get the contact informa-tion for the solicitor and call the State Treasurer’s Unclaimed Property Division before giving out personal information or agreeing to anything.

Every state has an unclaimed property division and pro-vides the service for free. The easiest way to check if you’re owed money from the state is at http://www.sdtreasurer.gov/unclaimed-property/. You can search for your name or a business and receive a claim form online or call the South Dakota State Treasurer’s offi ce at 605-773-3379.

Every kid likes to think their birthday is exception-ally special because of oth-er events or famous people who share their birthday. I always thought mine was the best day to have a birthday because it rep-resented the end of school and the beginning of sum-mer; an exciting time for any kid.

My mother said the day I was born was the last day of school in Hot Springs and remembers watching kids leaving the buildings from her hospital room window across the street. I visualized teens in bell bottom pants and poly-ester shirts getting into their muscle cars or brown Gremlin cars like my aunt Lucy and Lavonne had, mothers in station wagons picking up their kids, and the weather being pure sunshine and hot already.

During my elementary years, I rarely got to bring treats to school because school was out or I was outdone by Custer Ele-mentary and everyone got to celebrate with ice cream bars after the fi eld day, but I prided myself in hav-ing a birthday that never landed on a boring school day during winter. I loved that my birthday was in late spring. Sunshine al-ways seemed present on my special day and I con-sidered it summer.

My birthday party ideas were just as unusu-al. When I turned seven I wanted a cherry pie in-stead of a birthday cake for my party. My mother said I was the only one of all the fi rst grade party-go-ers who ate it.

As a teenager, some years I got to brag that my birthday was a nation-al holiday (if it landed on Memorial Day). That was cool until I fi nally turned 21—old enough to go to a bar and buy alcohol. It fell on Memorial Day and no cool places were open to go celebrate with a special birthday dinner and bev-erage. I had to settle for a beer joint in Custer, where there wasn’t anybody fun in the bar to partake in my

legal age celebration and all I had to eat with my beer was free popcorn.

I still claim my birth-day as distinctive because of what else is celebrat-ed on my birthday, and for whom I share it with one of my beloved coun-try singers Don Williams and I share the same birth-day as did the unfortunate Wild Bill Hickock. Not many people can say their birthday is the anniversary of the breakout of the Bu-bonic Plague in 1907 and Achsah Young’s death—the fi rst American execut-ed for Witchcraft on May 27, 1647.

I get to brag that my birthday is Tape Day—a perfect day for completing all your paper related re-pairs and book mending, (Richard Drew invented cellophane tape May 27th, 1930) and it’s Sunscreen Day! May 27th is a big day in history for beer too. Big Buck Brewery (Michigan; 1995), Black Swamp Mi-crobrewery (Ohio; 1996), Monticello Brewing (Vir-ginia; 1996) and Rock-yard Brewing (Colorado; 1999) all opened on May 27th. Probably most inter-esting though, is that my birthday is also “Discord-ian Season of Confusion;” very coincidental, consid-ering my personality and how my mind works.

Some of my birthdays were so insignifi cant I didn’t even journal about them, while others were a stretch. One year I’d writ-ten that I woke up and for-got for several hours that it was my birthday. On my 30th I wrote that our daughter got two teeth in and my 41st I had a doc-tor’s appointment. Oth-ers were celebrated more uniquely. I got up at 3 a.m. on my 37th and fl ew to California with girlfriends who’d arranged a birthday announcement on one of our fl ights.

This year, after eight long months of winter, of high importance was getting to celebrate out-doors—and wearing sun-screen.

The varsity Rustler track team faced off against their re-gional rivals with athletes coming from Chamberlain, Cheyenne-Eagle Butte, Crow Creek, Mobridge-Pol-lock, and Winner. At the end of the day, 17 Rustlers stood tall, fi ve girls and 12 boys, and will be repre-senting Miller in the state tournament this coming weekend.

The Miller girls placed fi fth in the overall team standings with fi ve of them being state quali-fi ers. Sophomore Shae Knox qualifi ed in 100 me-ters hurdles placing sec-ond with a time of 18.10 seconds. Freshmen Shal-ey Werdel took fi rst in tri-ple jump and qualifi ed with a jump of 32’9”.

The boys’ team returned to Miller with a second place plaque in the team standings. Freshmen Cole Sargent qualifi ed for the state competition in the 1600 meters and 3200 me-ters when he won both events. Sophomore Carter Kindle qualifi ed in 110 me-ter hurdles with a second place time of 16.68 sec-onds. Eighth grader Cody Bevers qualifi ed in high jump with a second place jump of 5’4”. Eighth grad-er Jarek Kindle took sec-ond place in triple jump with a qualifying jump of 37’ 11 ½”. Freshmen Mar-shall Johnson qualifi ed in discus with a 133’ sec-

ond place throw. The Mill-er team of Mason Breitling, Trey Waldrop, Beau Keeter, and Cole Sargent won the 4x800 meter relay and qualifi ed for state compe-tition.

Coach McGough and his Rustlers are now set-ting their sights on the state tournament in Sioux Falls for one last hurrah. “There were many�PR per-formances at the region meet. I am very proud of�the�commitment and dedication�of our track-sters�throughout the sea-son. We plan on continu-ing to build on the success our athletes have enjoyed, putting the fi nal touchest on our events, staying fo-cused and having fun” re-ported McGough after the regional meet.Region 6A Track & Field ResultsBoys’ Team placed 2ndGirls’ Team placed 5thGirls’ Results100 Meter DashShaly Werdel – 3rd 14.32Allison Hasart- 8th – 14.97200 Meter DashAllison Hasart – 6th – 30.79400 Meter DashMegan Fiala – 5th – 1:08.90100 Meter HurdlesShae Knox – 2nd – 18.10 – **State Qualifi er**300 Meter HurdlesShae Knox – 4th – 55.90Kassie Schaefers – 7th – 59.754x100 Meter RelayMiller – 1st – 55.13 – **State Qualifi er**Shaly Werdel, Allison HasartMegan Fiala, Shae Knox4x200 Meter RelayMiller – 4th – 2:01.07Karly Beckett, Cassidy KeckAllison Hasart, Teanna Pawlowski4x400 Meter RelayMiller - 4th – 5:11.46Karly Beckett, Abby BreitlingKatie Manning, Tia PawlowskiSprint Medley RelayMiller 4th – 5:33.47Karly Beckett, Cassidy KeckTeanna Pawlowski, Katie ManningHigh JumpMegan Fiala – 4th – 4’ 3”Long JumpShaly Werdel – 4th – 13’ 7 ½”Teanna Pawlowski – 8th – 12’ 9”Triple JumpShaly Werdel – 1st – 32’ 9” - **State Qualifi er**Shae Knox – 3rd – 31’ 4 ½”Shot PutMacee Fanning – 6th – 30’ 1”Tia Pawlowski – 7th – 29’ 2”DiscusTia Pawlowski – 5th – 93’ 7”Macee Fanning – 7th- 88’ 6”Boys Results

Butch KnouseIt was a typically un-

predictable South Dakota weather night at the Mill-er Speedway. Two hours before race time it was hot and humid with dis-tant thunder rumbling non stop for 60 minutes. Then a cold north wind blew in and the temps dropped 25 degrees in a matter of min-utes making for a chilly night.

The weather scared off both cars and fans, with twenty-six cars and hardi-est of the die hard fans in attendance.

In the Pump N Pak UCARs, Brandon Hammill led all the way over Tre Blasdell for his second fea-ture win ever at the Miller Speedway.

The WISSOTA Street Stocks put on a show. While outside front row starter Michael Bogh ran away with the win, Casey Carstens gamely hung onto second all twelve laps, with Bogh winning over Carstens, who tan-gled with Blayne Baloun and Jodie Michaelsohn af-ter the checker. They were third and fourth respective-ly, with Joel Sengelmann rounding out the top fi ve. It was Bogh’s 11th feature win and moved him into third on the all time win list for the Street Stocks at Miller.

The WISSOTA Midwest Modifi ed feature featured a battle up front all race long with Lorin Johnson edg-ing out Tracy Johnson and David Carlson for the win with Adam Brotherton and Kyle Knouse rounding out the top fi ve. It was Lorin’s 42nd MW Modifi ed feature win at the track.

In the WISSOTA Super Stock main, Cole Searing led all the way with Lo-rin Johnson in pursuit un-til Johnson’s car started

smoking badly on the last lap. Searing won his fourth career Super Stock feature over Dustin Arthur, Mike Jager, Johnson and Bren-den Rassel.

Hopefully some bad-ly need rain fell overnight. Next week will be the reg-ular WISSOTA racing pro-gram along with this sea-son’s fi rst appearance of the Quad racers.WISSOTA Super Stock main: 1.
