National Agriculture Week in Philip

Del BartelsFeb. 17-24, more than 653,000 FFA members, from 8,568chapters, celebrated the role agriculture plays in ourlives, while sharing the message of agricultural educa-tion as part of National FFA Week. A group of youngfarmers founded FFA in 1928, influencing generationsthat agriculture is more than planting and harvesting —it involves science, business and more. Today's FFAmembers are tomorrow's future biologists, chemists,veterinarians, engineers and entrepreneurs. The PhilipFFA, under the advisory of Doug Hauk, held an agri-culture trivia contest, Feb. 20. Feb. 21, homemade icecream was offered to all local FFA members and to the

school staff. Feb. 22, three-member teams representingthe high school classes and the teachers competed in thetimed Agriculture Olympics. A vaccine gun race, an egggathering contest, and an oreo and milk contest weretopped off with the main event of barrel racing. Takingthe least total time and winning the gold was the teach-ers’ team, with the ninth grade taking the silver, and thesophomores taking the bronze. Shown above is BobbiAntonsen riding Widowmaker, with plenty of powerand only some direction being supplied by DylanSchofield and Dawson Reedy.

The Wheeler-Brooks American Legion Post #173,Philip, annually sponsors high school juniors to attendBoys State. Its auxiliary sponsors attendees to GirlsState. Midland’s American Legion Post 143 and its auxil-iary also sponsor students to these events. “The American Legion really encourages young menand women to take advantage of this opportunity,” saidTerry Henrie, who spoke to the Philip High School jun-iors. “It is one that comes only once in their high schoolcareers.” This year, Boys State is May 28 through June 1, inAberdeen. This year, Girls State is May 28 throughJune 2 at the University of South Dakota in Vermil-lion. For each, approximately 320 high school studentswho have just completed their junior year are selectedto participate. For Philip High School juniors to apply, contactcounselor Pamela DeJong. According to the American Legion, Boys State ofSouth Dakota has a two-fold purpose. First, to better

help youth understand and appreciate the Americansystem of government and way of life including therights and responsibilities of citizenship. Secondly, togive a better knowledge of the fundamental principlesof government within the State of South Dakota. These objectives are sought by establishment of amythical 51st State of Union, comprised of countiesand cities, giving Boys State actual experience in con-trol and operation of these units of government. TheAmerican Legion wants the Boys of South Dakota tounderstand the problems of government as well as howit functions. Upon reaching Boys State, students are assigned toone of the two mythical political parties (Federalist orNationalist) and to a specific city and county. With theexception of city elections, which are non-political asthey are in South Dakota, party caucuses and conven-tions are held, with full slates of officers elected atcounty and state level. Appointive officers are alsofilled.

Someone was bemoaning to meabout all the fundraisers alwaysbeing held around here for seem-ingly everything. I replied, “Yes,aren’t they great!” According to the dictionary, afundraiser is a social event held tocollect money for a political party,charity, school, etc. It is also a per-son who collects money for suchthings. Through my high school and col-lege debate training, I like toargue the extremes. What if therewere absolutely no fundraisers –events or people? Many parents cannot affordfootball gear for their elementarykid, to help pay for transportation,or a coach’s compensation (if any).Thus, the only sports playerswould be from wealthier families.Some school band members owntheir own instruments, but canyou see a fifth grader lugginghome their tuba or piano? What I like most in the defini-tion is “social event.” Some peopleapproach fanaticism concerningbingo. Some athletes train for the

unofficial local five-kilometer run.Whether you jitterbug or not, afiremen’s dance is plain fun. Anice-fishing tournament is cold, anda free swimming pool day shouldbe hot. Evenings can include trick-or-treat groups, a huge fireworksdisplay, a light parade and a kid-die park movie night. Daytimescan include volleyball carwashesand coyote calling competitions. Agreed, some events are com-merce oriented, such as Drive 4URSchool test driving. Driving a newcar is still fun! In comparison,would you turn down a free sam-ple of something in the supermar-ket even if you are not going tobuy that product? I can graciouslyaccept a reduced movie theatreticket, reduced ice cream drink, oranything else, even if I do or donot plan on doing business withthat company. Good will, good peo-ple, and good fun all go together. Then, there is the food. I cannotresist Girl Scout cookies, walkingtacos, tailgate parties, chili cook-offs, Sunday breakfasts, or a tourof tables. I do hesitate, though, atlutefisk. People are more conver-sational when enjoying good food.

Schools get taxes, but not everygroup gets enough. Football andbasketball tickets help fund band,debate and theatre. I like going toall of them. Most people therewant to be there, thus are friendlyand easy to talk to. Bidders can ac-tually get their money’s worth ata FCCLA/FFA labor auction, evenif you bid for your own kid. Theschool festival is an evening of fun;an excuse for adults to act likekids. How often do we get to par-ticipate in a dunk tank? Pennywars gather coins through funcompetition. Public awards are greatevents – hometown heroes, seniorcitizen of the year (the rest of usneed to try harder), retirementparties, etc. Some wedding danceannouncements say everyone wel-come, and they mean it. Then there is the cause. Helpsomeone with expenses from fight-ing cancer, either directly orthrough Dig Pink or Relay ForLife. Help support victims of a fire,a farm accident, or some othertragedy. The accented syllable in fund-raiser is not fund, it is fun.

Viva la fundraising

Legislative Week 7 Crossover week went very well and I attribute thesuccess to the chairs and members of all the commit-tees. Every year the stress leading up to crossovercan become overwhelming. This year the stress wasminimized by the ability to conduct the committeeprocess efficiently. Feb. 23, Representative Dan Kaiser and myselfjointly moved to establish a Select Committee on Dis-cipline and Expulsion to investigate the conduct ofRepresentative Johnson. Rep. Lesmeister secondedthe motion. We are all passionate about our issues and we workhard to represent those passions on bills during thedebate. The incident I am referring to “Did NOT”happen during the debate on the floor as Johnsonrefers to in his apology to the body on Friday. This in-cident happened well after session had concluded. This was not a debate; this was behavior that can-not be tolerated. I stand by my decision, this incidentwarrants a full investigation; 45 of my fellow legisla-tors agreed, 13 legislators resisted the motion. It now will be up to the select committee to decide theappropriate coarse of action. The link to the motionis http://sdlegislature.gov /Legislative_Session/Com-mittees/Default.aspx?Committee=396&Session=2018&tab=Minutes&document=2232018130PM. I need to give everyone a review of the bills I spon-sored this session. Following are two I will concen-trate on for this column. I will start with House Bill 1172, an act to revise

certain provisions regarding meetings of certain pub-lic bodies. This will ensure time will be set aside forpublic comment. The amount of time will be at thediscretion of the chair. It is important in a democracythat citizens are able to bring their concerns beforetheir elected officials. State Affairs committee heardthis bill and passed with only one nay vote. It movedto the floor and passed with only eight nay votes.HB1172 will now move to the Senate for their consid-eration. HB1221 expands the partners in education taxcredit program to include tribally controlled schoolson a federally recognized Indian reservation. In 2016Senate Bill 159 created the partners in education taxcredit program allowing insurance companies tax in-centive for tuition fees to private schools. HB1221will allow this incentive for private schools on ourreservations. It passed House Education committeeunanimously and the full house with only five nayvotes. It will now be heard on the Senate side. Can contact me at the House Chamber number773-3851. Leave a phone number and I will call youback. The fax number is 773-6806. If you send a fax,address it to Rep. Elizabeth May. You can also emailme at Elizabeth.May@sdlegislature.gov during ses-sion. You can keep track of bills and committee meet-ings at this link: http://legis.state.sd.us/ You can alsouse this link to find the legislators, see what commit-tees they are on, read all the bills and track the sta-tus of each bill, listen to committee hearings, andcontact legislator.

Crossover day (Friday, when all bills that were in-troduced as house bills had to be addressed in thehouse and sent over to the senate) has come andwent, and it was not too bad. A request of representatives early in session was toaddress more bills each day and spend more timeeach day of session, and not have the big pile up ofbills the last few days before crossover, and it worked.On Friday, we had less than 10 bills to finish up. But something happened that kept us there threehours longer than normal. As a legislator, I show re-spect to other legislators they deserve as their votershave sent them to represent them. To disrespectthem is to show disrespect to all of the voters of theirdistrict. There is heated and passionate debate on the floor,but once the debate is over, you learn to go on and ad-dress the next topic. But an incident happened aftersession on the floor, leaving one legislator in fear offurther assault to her. There are rules of conduct for legislators that havebeen violated and there are procedures in place todeal with these incidents. Motions have been made,a committee on discipline and expulsion has beenformed and we will see how it plays out. I believe aperson is responsible for their actions and should suf-fer the consequences. If there are no consequences,what is the deterrent to not have it happen again?

Our section line bill flew through the house on con-sent calendar, (consent calendar is bills that arevoted on unanimously in committee and can go to thefloor without debate if no objection is raised). Town-ships are afforded the option of declaring a road a no-maintenance road whereas counties could onlydeclare them a minimum maintenance road that hadto be bladed at least once a year, even if no one livedat the end of the road. This bill gives counties thatno-maintenance option. Should be in Senate localgovernment committee in the near future. Our bill to set up an appeals process for smallclaims decisions died in House Judiciary. I am stilllooking for a simple solution to address this. Our night vision bill flew through the senate andis now waiting for the governor's signature. He hasbeen gone for a few days, but expect something thisnext week. So, from here on out, we will be considering senatebills for the most part. If one of our house bills isamended in the senate, it will come back to the housefor us to concur or not concur. Concur means we canlive with the amendment and to not concur means wedo not like their amendment. It could end up being ahuge back and forth for the legislature. I can be reached at Steve.Livermont@sdlegisla-ture.gov or 605-441-1020 if you have some concerns.Have a blessed week.

Hau Mitakuyapi! I am honored to represent thepeople of Bennett, Haakon, Jackson, Pennington andOglala Lakota counties in our 93rd Legislature. Wehave continued presenting bills to our committeesand working hard to get legislation to the floor thisweek and with Friday the 23rd being crossover day,the legislators are able to focus on some of the moresignificant bills of the session. For me, these wereSenate Bill 196 and 197.Senate Bill 196, a bill to allow victims of childhoodsexual abuse from native boarding schools to bringcharges against their abusers, was heard in the Sen-ate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday the 13th. Wehad many members of the public come to Pierre totestify in favor of the bill, including Michelle Dauphi-nais Echols, Faith Spotted Eagle, Dr. Barbara Char-bonneau Dahlen and Jessica Pickett. Their testimonywas greatly appreciated and effective in showing whoexactly this bill would affect and how important thisissue is. After the testimony from both sides, the committeediscussed the issue for quite some time. So much sothat the committee had to continue the meeting laterthat day. Unfortunately, this discussion lead to SB196 failing 3-4 in committee. Though the resultwasn’t preferable, I was very happy and thank thosewho came to testify about this painful subject thathas impacted our community members who attendedthese boarding schools. I would personally like to thank Senator Stace Nel-son, Senator Craig Kennedy and Senator JennaNetherton for supporting this conversation to moveforward to the Senate for a full vote. SenatorKennedy made a great point in the closing commentsby mentioning this conversation is much larger than4 votes and Senator Nelson asked the opposition, "ifGod had a vote, how would he vote?" Last week, I presented Senate Bill 197 to the SenateLocal Government Committee and we had public sup-port from Cheyenne River Councilman Bryce In theWoods about the benefits of further consultation withTribal Nations. Unfortunately, this conversation did-n't move forward but I would encourage Tribal Na-tions to stay involved in this area because SB 197 wasintroduced to preserve traditional cultural propertiesthroughout the state in hopes to prevent more proj-ects being built without the consent of tribal leaders,and though it did not pass through committee.Aside from presenting my bills, there were many im-portant pieces of legislation that passed through my

committees. In the Senate Local Government com-mittee this week, we heard Senate Joint Resolution9, which would have put a Port Yankton casino on theballot. The sponsors of the bill were unable to present a vi-able business plan and had no limit on the number ofmachines allowed. If tribes are only allowed 250 ma-chines through their gaming compacts, why wouldthe Port Yankton proposal not have the same restric-tions? Additionally, this casino would be placed nearly 20miles from the nearest tribal casino in Nebraska, andonly an hour away from Fort Randall where we haveour members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe working at. Ifthis legislation passed, these resorts and vendorscould have lost around 400 jobs in the region that em-ploys mostly tribal members. We had a spirited de-bate and this bill defeated by 22-12 vote. I received a nice email from Thelma Thomas, GeneralManager of the Ohiya casino "We pulled up the Sen-ate Session on the big screen in our event center andsaw the Senators in action this afternoon. We havemany Yankton Sioux employees who cross the riverto come to work over here and an Oglala Lakota man,James Star Comes Out, who knows Kevin’s brother.The casino employees were able to watch all thespeakers and the vote go down. The employees ab-solutely liked it, loved it, for you, that Senators in theSD Legislature spoke for them and was a voice forthem. You need to know these employees where clap-ping and hollering after you spoke; you both are con-sidered a Champion of Equal Rights. NINAWOPIDA TANKA! Thank you so much!"Lastly, we passed HCR 1010 honoring Billy Mills(Tamakoce Tek'hila) on his contributions to the Stateof South Dakota, the Nation, and the world. This res-olution was long over due and was passed unani-mously by the South Dakota House ofRepresentatives and Senate. I believe he is planningto come to Pierre on March 6 for this honoring andwe look forward to welcoming him to the Capitol forthis event. This is a legislature for all people of South Dakota,and we are working hard to improve this great statein any way we can. As always, please feel free toreach me at 605-454-8105 or kevin.killer@sdlegisla-ture.gov for any issues or concerns you may have. Pil-amiya (Thank you), and it is an honor to representour great communities.

Lookin’ AroundSyd Iwan | iwan@gwtc.net

There is often an easy way to dothings and a hard way. I try tochoose the easy and efficient way,but it doesn’t always happen. Takethe other day with ketchup bottles.As it happened, we had dropped aketchup bottle and broken off theflip-over lid on top. As a result, wewere covering it in the refrigeratorwith a small plastic bag thatworked okay but was somewhatmessy and inconvenient. Then I no-ticed that there was an older bottlein the refrigerator that just had abit left in the bottom. “Why don’t Iput the ketchup from the brokenbottle into that old one?” I askedmyself. “That would be a gooddeal.”Well, pouring ketchup from one

bottle to another might be slightlymessy, but I thought it was proba-bly worth the trouble. Just as I wasabout to pour from one bottle to theother, however, wife Corinne no-ticed my intention and said, “Whydon’t you just switch the lids?” Iconsidered the matter and saw thatthey were the same brand ofketchup and the same sized bottleso that would probably work and bea whole lot easier. I grumbled a lit-tle at Corinne for being able to seethe easy way when I couldn’t, but Idid take her advice in the matterand was fairly happy with it.This reminded me of the time

when Ted was unloading a bit ofgrain into the barn and doing it ina way that took quite a bit of effort.The new young guy, Scott, watchedthis process for a while, waited abit, and then suggested an easierway to do things. He had purposely

waited until Ted was almost donebefore giving his suggestion sincehe liked to tease whenever possible.Naturally, he had a big smile on hisface when he mentioned the easierway. Ted saw what Scott had doneto tease him and took out after himin mock anger. Luckily, Scott wasfairly fleet of foot and was able tokeep just a bit ahead as they wentaround the barn a time or two.Then they finished unloading butdid it the easier way.In most cases, I try to do things

efficiently if I can. It saves time andenergy. It also requires lookingahead when doing a job and seeingwhat is required. When I go tomake a cake or something, I try togather all the ingredients to startwith so I don’t have to make re-peated trips to the pantry or cup-board. If the baking pan, flour,sugar, oil and cinnamon etc are allin one place, grab them all at thesame time. Don’t make repeatedtrips if you don’t have to.When I was a tuxedo-clad waiter

in a fancy restaurant in Charleston,SC, I looked around at the otherservers and noticed they oftenmade extra trips out onto the floorwhen they didn’t need to. If youwere serving steak, take along anysteak sauce or ketchup that mightbe needed when you delivered thefood to the table. On the way back,pick up any dirty dishes that wereno longer needed at that table orany of the others you were serving.Keeping your mind on your worksaves a lot of steps.Sometimes, though, you can get

overly cautious. When I do the ac-counting for the church or myranch accounts, I sometimes am

guilty of putting out more effortthan is strictly needed. For in-stance, after I’ve recorded a seriesof checks, I go back and check thatI got all the numbers right beforedoing the totals. This usually isn’treally needed if you’ve been carefulin the first place, but I do it any-way. Sometimes it saves time, butusually it doesn’t. If things don’tbalance, you can always go backand find out why. Once you’ve de-veloped a system, though, it can behard to change it. I imagine I’llkeep double checking my numberseven if I really know it probablyisn’t necessary.There is kind of a standard joke

about people painting themselvesinto a corner. You know, you’repainting the floor and then findthere is no way out of the final cor-ner without walking back acrossthe wet floor. In situations like this,you need to plan ahead to avoidsuch problems.Just today, I didn’t plan ahead

and check carefully when I wentoutside to change the batteries inthe sensor for the indoor/outdoorthermometer that reads out on mydesk. I changed the batteries andthe readout still wasn’t coming infrom outside. What happened isthat we have two such systems, andI’d changed the batteries in thewrong one. Well, that was actuallyokay since the ones I did were fairlyold and would need changing soon,but it didn’t address the real prob-lem. So, if you’ll excuse me, I needto go try again. Maybe this time I’llget it right. One can always plan,hope and try, but, if that doesn’t fillthe bill, you just keep on trying.

According to the most recent National Ag Statis-tics Service (NASS) Cattle Report, South Dakota'stotal cattle inventory is up from last year. “There are currently more cattle on feed and fewercattle outside of feedlots in South Dakota,” saidMatthew Diersen, professor and South Dakota StateUniversity Extension risk/business managementspecialist of the report released Jan. 31, 2018. With this in mind, Diersen said cattle producerswill want to review futures and basis levels whenmaking 2018 marketing decisions.

“The changes across classes were not consistent.Thus, benchmarks may prove useful for pricing andmarketing decisions,” Diersen said. Cattle producers can access common benchmarksand basis levels by reviewing the SDSU Extensiondocument, Monthly Cattle Prices and Basis Levels.This document, along with an article authored byDiersen which analyzes the NASS report, CattlePrice Considerations For 2018, can be found by vis-iting www.iGrow.org and searching by the docu-ment titles.

Agriculture producers, agrib-usiness professionals and ruralcommunity leaders are encour-aged to apply for the 2018-2020class of South Dakota Agricultural& Rural Leadership (SDARL). Established 20 years ago, thepremiere leadership organizationidentifies and develops leaders forthe world's most essential indus-try - agriculture. “SDARL graduates return totheir farms, ranches and ruralcommunities with the leadershipand professional developmentskills necessary to serve and im-pact positive change,” said DonNorton, CEO of SDARL Founda-tion. Although she was engaged inagriculture organizations beforebecoming involved in SDARL,after graduating from the pro-gram, Tammy Basel, a fourth-gen-eration Union Center sheep andcattle rancher says the experiencebroadened her knowledge baseand motivated her to do more.Today, Basel serves on the Cattle-men's Beef Board, is treasure ofthe S.D. Sheep Growers Associa-tion and the Multi-County Preda-tor District. She serves assecretary/treasurer for CBH co-opSturgis. “It's easy to get tunnel visionwhen you're in leadership. SDARLopened my eyes and gave me abetter understanding of howeverything works togetherthroughout South Dakota agricul-ture,” Basel said. Norton said Basel's experienceis not unique, as he lists off sev-eral graduates who today whoserve as leaders of local, regionaland national commodity organiza-

tions, cooperatives, agricultureadvocacy groups, serve in localand state government, as well asthe current S.D.

The South Dakota Agricultural& Rural Leadership (SDARL) pro-gram is an 18-month course offer-ing intensive study, training andtravel for future leaders in agri-culture and rural communitiesthroughout South Dakota. Theprogram includes a seminar in

Washington D.C. and an interna-tional agriculture tour. Although it is a large time com-mitment, Ryan Wagner, a third-generation Day County farmerand father to three young chil-dren, says his time as a SDARLclass member was well spent. “Living in rural South Dakota,it wouldn't have been possible forme to find anything similar to thequality.” Today, there are so few ofus involved in agriculture, that it'simportant for those of us who areinvolved to have the leadershipskills necessary to represent ourindustry. Today, Wagner serves as presi-dent of the South Dakota CornUtilization Council. Each class is composed of 30 in-dividuals who will be either ac-tively involve as operators ofproduction agriculture or fromagribusiness, related organiza-tions and rural community leader-ship roles. Valued at $20,000 per classmember, the cost to participate, ifselected, is $4,250 thanks to gen-erous donations from sponsors. If you are someone who is inter-ested in advancing your leader-ship capabilities, apply today. The application deadline isMarch 31, 2018. Applications arereviewed and applicants fromacross the state and representinga diversity of agriculture careersare then selected for an interviewprocess. Following the interviewprocess, 30 individuals will be se-lected. To apply, visit www.sdagleader-ship.com. Contact Don Norton ifyou have any questions, Don.Nor-ton@sdstate.edu.

The South Dakota Value AddedFinance Authority (VAFA) boardapproved the issuance of two be-ginning farmer bonds at their reg-ularly scheduled monthlymeeting. Feb. 22, the VAFA board ap-proved two bond issues for a totalof $851,000 for two qualifying be-ginning farmers. Public hearingswere held on both projects. “The beginning farmer bondprogram, through the VAFAboard, is a great way for qualify-ing beginning farmers to purchasereal estate,” said Terri LaBrie, ex-ecutive director of VAFA. “Theprogram enables beginning farm-ers to get better rates and termsand also allows for tax-exempt in-terest income for the bond pur-chasers; typically their locallenders or a contract seller that isnot a closely related party.” VAFA is a seven member boardestablished in 1995 to develop andpromote agriculture in the state.The mission of VAFA is to providelower cost financing for qualifyingbeginning farmers and agricul-tural businesses. “We are excitedfor these beginning farmers andhappy we can provide these pro-grams to help the next generationof farmers,” says Bob Hull, chair-man of the board. The board also approved a Live-stock Nutrient Management Bondapplication at this month’s boardmeeting for a project in Lincoln

County. The tax-exempt bond pro-grams offered through the VAFAare for beginning farmers,agribusinesses and projects with asolid waste disposal component. All program details and applica-tions through VAFA or the De-partment of Agriculture are

***News from

M.R. and Barbara Hansen Are you enjoying the beautifulsnow still here from last week?No, not if you are calving, butprobably yes if you are dreamingof good moisture for the comingyear. If we can see all of dams fullagain, we will be thankful. As usual, the city and highwaydepartment crews have been onthe job early, usually before day-light, plowing and sanding thestreets and highways for oursafety. Do not use salt as it isknown to damage concrete andthe environment; sand containsall natural ingredients. We usesalt because it is cheap and effec-tive, which is more importantthan long-term damage to our sur-roundings. The immense piles of snow aregradually disappearing due to thehard work of the dedicated cityemployees. Everyday we see thebig equipment working aroundtown. Thank you! Have you been in the Gem The-ater lately? We went there theother night and it is much differ-ent than the old days with beauti-ful new seats. In the old daysthere was one aisle down the mid-dle but now there are two aisleswith comfortable, staggered seatswith all good views of the screen.We used to go there, sneak in popor other drinking materials andthen roll cans or bottles down thefloor under the seats that werenicely lined up. We hear a lot of hyperbole usedin politics and elsewhere thesedays. Do you know the differencebetween hyperbole and hyper-bola? “In geometry, a hyperbola isa conic section formed by the in-tersection of a cone with a planewith the same inclination to theaxis as one of the cone's sides – theplane is parallel to that side. A'hyperbole' is a literally a 'cast-ing/setting above', more generallyan excess or exaggeration.” An ex-ample of a hyperbole would be “Iam so hungry I could eat a horse.”The words do have the etymology(origin of the word).

The other morning while I waseating a large, unhealthy (no of-fense) breakfast including bacon,cooked by dear Barbara, I wasreading about even more food inthe RC Journal. It is a columncalled adulting which featuressarcasm, which I like, which isright up there with hyperbole.Anyway, the author was dis-cussing agnostic chislic, the pro-posed state nosh. She explainedwhat a nosh is, a snack, but didnot explain why it is agnostic. Ican’t believe we have a statebread, fry bread, which is deepfried and a cause of obesity. Shesaid the state element should bewind which is not an element atall; it should be gold probably. Thestate tool should be the flat screw-driver, the most abused of all toolsand never used for flat screwswhich are seldom used any more.There is no mention of bacon, themost delicious food ever invented,is the best part of the pig, and isfeatured on the New York StockExchange in the form of pork bel-lies. My tiny house is coming alongnicely with the wonderful assis-tance from the people at MosesBuilding Center. They are readyto give free advice to any amateurcarpenter, such as me, and pro-vide speedy service about 100times better than Menards. Theyare all automatically members ofthe THC (tiny house club). BTW,they are already member of bothof my man caves. The same honor applies to allemployees of Philip Hardwarewho are also helpful as I build thistiny house. When you work on anyproject, plan on going back to thehardware store at least threetimes during the day to get moreadvice, things you forgot the firsttime, and materials to repair whatyou broke during the day. Sunday, we had warm weather,brilliant sun and water running inthe street. We are promised a fewmore days with high temperaturesabove freezing, so we will greatlyenjoy that. The nights will befreezing, but not below zero, giv-ing us a slow melt. We will hopeand pray for full dams in thespring. The most exciting newsaround here is the weather! Barbara writes…Last week weran into Jan Hewitt at ginnys andwere happy to hear that she andJack Hansen have now returnedto Philip and had a wonderful va-cation to the warm and sunnySouth. They visited their friends,Jerry and Kathy Noteboom, inUma, Ariz., then went on toFlorida to visit Jan's brother andhis wife, Jim and Cheryl Vander-heiden, in The Villages, a retire-ment community a little north ofOrlando. They went down to theGulf for a day, played cards andeven went out dancing a time ortwo. The mode of transportationfor people getting around the townis driving your own little golf cart.

Friday and Saturday, my sisterand I went to a Cursillo at St.Martins Academy in Rapid City.Cursillo means a “short course”and the course was aboutCharisms, from the Greek mean-ing favor or gift. These are thegifts of the Holy Spirit that one re-ceives at Baptism and Confirma-tion. During the Cursillo, we wentthrough a process of discernmentto see what gifts we have received,how God plans to use us for thebetterment of others. A charism is not a natural, in-ward talent such as ability in foot-ball or mathematics, but outwardand supernatural, something togive away such as wisdom, mercy,evangelism. We learned thateveryone has been given morethan one gift from the Holy Spiritand we looked for signs and char-acteristics of ones we think wemight have. We studied about 24of them. About 35 people attended thisshort course. Some I knew fromwhen we lived in Rapid. One wasRichard Rengel, who owns his ownconstruction company out ofRapid City, a fellow civil engineerand who knows M.R. They had aconcrete class together back in theday under a distinguished profes-sor, Bill Coyle, a native son fromPhilip. When any of these old timestudents get together, there is al-ways animated conversation andfondness when rememberingCoyle, as he is still called. Mr.Rengel said his parents lived inPhilip for a year or so and stayedat Hansen Court. Sunday morning at SacredHeart, we were sorry to see thatFather Oreshoski served Masswith his arm in a sling. A few daysearlier, he had slipped on an icypatch and injured his shoulder.Despite his great and painful in-jury, he served his morning Massat the nursing home, then went tothe hospital to minister to andvisit those there. Bless you fatherand we are all praying for you andfor a speedy recovery! Sunday afternoon, the PhilipVolunteer Fire Department put ontheir annual bingo fundraisingevent. Many of the townspeopleattended and tried their luck atsuch games as normal straightline bingo, window pane, luckyseven, six pack, letter X and ofcourse blackout. Snacks, sand-wiches, cookies and coffee wereavailable for a small charge. I spied Martin and Vera Nelsonand Gloria French, so sat at theirtable. We all came close, but noone won a bingo prize, but wewere all delighted just the same todonate and support the fire de-partment and help them to pur-chase a new pumper truck. MartyHansen was the bingo caller andDebbie Miller won the final black-out grand prize. It was a fun timeto come out and support our vol-unteer fire department – a stal-wart in our community and I'm

sure they would appreciate anydonations you would like to make.

News from Loren Kiel In spite of the snowy landscapeand cold temperatures, the PhilipArea Cancer Support Group meton the evening of Feb. 20 at theSenechal lobby. There were eightfolks in attendance. They wereTheresa Clements, Val Schulz,Kay Ainslie, Donna Newman,Louise Miller, Mike West, andRose and Loren Kiel. It was asomewhat low-key meeting. Cardsof encouragement were signed tobe sent to two cancer patients whoare currently taking treatments.Val handed out a seven pageprintout from the American Can-cer Society concerning how to be afriend to someone with cancer. Itstarts out with the topic, Friend-ship and Cancer: Today, most peo-ple with cancer are treated in theoutpatient setting – they don’thave to stay in the hospital. Dur-ing this time they often need help,support, and encouragement. Many studies have found thatcancer survivors with strong emo-tional support tend to better ad-just to the changes cancer bringsto their lives, have a more positiveoutlook and often report a betterquality of life. Research hasshown that people with cancerneed support from friends. Youcan make a big difference in thelife of someone with cancer. There are many eye openingand helpful hints on how to inter-act with cancer patients; whatmight be helpful to say and whatnot to say. Besides being there asa friend to share concerns, one canbe involved in doing things thatare helpful. It is my observation

that nearly everyone has beentouched with cancer in some way.It is good to be informed of downto earth practical ways of beinghelpful. The next cancer supportmeeting is scheduled for March 20at the Senechal lobby. Wednesday, Feb. 21, was themonthly meal held at the BadRiver Senior Citizen’s Center. Itwas attended well with 53 namesjotted down on the register. Therewere some guests from out of townincluding members of the Gittings’family who were here to attendthe funeral of Marie Lamm. Wealso noted a few from the Wall andQuinn area. Thursday evening, Feb. 22,marked the seventh of the seriesof whist card parties held at theBad River Senior Citizen’s Center.There was four tables again thisweek, but there was somethingnew. We had a couple of new cardplayers; good young men whocame to the aid of the party. Theywere Martin and Vera Nelson’sgrandsons, Jay and Travis Nelson.I learned from Jay that they arecousins. At the end of the night, winnerswere Gerry Sloat taking first prizewith a score of 55, his wife, Bobby,came in second with a score of 52,and Jerry Neville third with ascore of 50. It was decided to con-tinue the card parties into March. We woke up to a bright sun-shiny day Friday, Feb. 23, andthough it was a bit brisk outdoors,it was a good day for a funeral, ifany day is a good day for a fu-neral. Rose and I attended the fu-neral of Marie Lamm at theSacred Heart Catholic Church.Father Gary Oreshoski officiatedand was assisted by Deacon Lloyd

Frein. Lloyd gave the homily and he fo-cused mostly on the Gospel lessonand related his personal contactswith Marie and her family whichbegan when he was in his youth.Her pet name for him was‘Lloydy’. It was observed of herthat at times she could be a bit‘feisty.’ And though at times shecould be blunt she had a big heart,loving life and loving her family.One observation Lloyd made wasMarie’s craving for salt which shedid not try to hide. He likened it toJesus’ words where He told Hisdisciples, that they were to be the‘salt of the earth’ reflecting uponthe call to discipleship. A tribute was given by hergranddaughter, Kara (Gittings)Moriarty. If one had not felt per-sonally acquainted with Marieprior to this tribute, it added someinsights into her lively and some-what colorful character. Kara didan excellent job. Rose and I were not well ac-quainted with Marie until wemoved to town and joined othersat the Elderly Meals. Marie sat atthe same table with us. In spite ofher difficulty with breathing, shewas always cheerful and greetedus with a smile. We knew of herfavorite foods, eating habits – in-cluding the extra seasoning withsalt and even catered to thatsome. When we took a turn at fur-nishing extra dessert treats andfurnished homemade ice cream,we made sure she got an extraserving to take to her apartment.She loved chocolate, strawberries,and ice cream. She was a specialperson and we will surely miss herpresence.

passionate about. She team ropedand steer tripped, and did it well.She was fond of her memories ofher roping with Ansel Tibbs, JimWilluweit and others. While on therodeo road, she met a blessing inher life, David Stangle. She sup-ported him and his traveling bud-dies. She loved everything about it,and that is where her love of roughstock really bloomed. Char loved the wild, carefree ca-maraderie and positivity that isrough stock.

Greetings from Kadoka, at theedge of the snowcovered Badlands.Philip used to have their motto of“Where the sun kisses the earth”and I always liked that saying, be-cause out here you seem to feel thatthe sun is kissing the earth as itcomes up in the morning and goesdown at night. Our nation is embroiled in majordebates about the need to outlawguns. I would like to share with youanother issue that was hard de-bated back in March, 1887. It is aletter written by my great-great-grandfather, Frank Little, Kalama-zoo, Mich. “I am in receipt of yournote of the 23rd and gratefully ac-knowledge the compliment sugges-tion therein that a speech from meon the amendment at Richlandwould be of interest and aid thetemperance movement. The salooninfluence is now thoroughly organ-ized and is arrayed in deadly hos-tility against the amendment. Theydeclare ‘that the destruction of thesaloons and the suppression of themanufacture of alcoholic drinkswill bring general financial and so-cial ruin upon the country’ – thatthe wheels of commerce will stop;our industrial enterprises becomeparalyzed; our State and Nationalwealth and its resources be driedup – ‘that a sort of dry rot will at-tack the heart and core of the bodypolitic’ – that annihilation of val-ues, utter stagnation and death willfollow the suppression of the sa-loons, and that grass will grow inthe streets of our cities, etc., etc.just as soon as the amendment isadopted.” I hate history but this letter,which I have only shared the firstpage so far prompted me to do aGoogle search for TemperanceMovement and this is what I dis-covered. The beginning of the tem-perance movement in the U.S. iseasy to understand. The AmericanRevolution, urbanization and otherchanges were associated with socialand economic problems. Theseproblems emerged along with in-creasing alcohol abuse. But manypeople believed that alcohol con-sumption caused these societalproblems. The prohibition of alco-hol by law became a major issue inevery campaign. They ranged fromthe national and state level down tothose for school board members.The issue generated deep bitter-ness. It is hard for us today to grasphow profoundly this controversypervaded every facet of Americanlife for a century. Religious and po-litical party affiliation were so in-tertwined with the prohibitionissue, and feelings ran so high, thatit became a rule of polite society notto allow them in conversation. Inpromoting what many prohibition-ists saw as their religious duty,they perfected the techniques ofpressure politics. Women in themovement even used their childrenas pawns to march, sing, and other-wise exert pressure at pollingplaces. They were often dressed inwhite and holding tiny Americanflags near polling places. When sig-naled, the children would descendupon known “wets” as they nearedthe voting booth. I ask you, does

any of this ring true today? Monday, the 19th, Don Moodywas getting over a sore throat butdid tackle moving away some of theapproximately five inches of snowwith his handy-dandy skidsteermachine. The low for the day was 2˚with a high of 12˚ above. He visitedwith his son-in-law, Bob Almond,as well as with me. It was Presi-dent’s Day so most federal officeswere closed. Before President’s Dayat our rural school we celebratedLincoln’s birthday February 12 bylearning more about our 16th Pres-ident of the United States and onFebruary 22 it was a day of study-ing about George Washington, theFirst President of the UnitedStates. With no mail Monday and lightfluffy snow coming down prettygood, we ventured out for the usualbreakfast early in the morning andhad to fill the vehicle with gas.Even with snowflakes flutteringdown the better part of the day, Billstill made it to cards in Philip.Bowling that night was cancelled. Iwas scheduled to be a substitute,but instead just spent the eveninggetting the news done. Don Moody reported that Tues-day in Rapid Valley it was minus 6˚for a low and got to a respectablehigh of 30˚. He kept busy doing nor-mal things in the morning and hada phone visit with Michelle and BobAlmond and basically stayed warm.Overnight they had another fourinches of snow. Here in Kadoka Tuesday morn-ing, the sun gave the illusion ofwarmth even though the low wasminus 2˚ and the high 15˚. I decidedit was time to move a little snowfrom the driveway, so at the heightof the warm 15˚, I went to fire upthe Bobcat only to have it not wantto start! The good thing is it is gas,the bad thing is I forgot to park itready to use with a full tank of gas,so I added gas, used the jumpers onit and finally got things going. An-other error on my part was not put-ting on my warmest boots. As Isaid, the sun gave an illusion ofwarmth but by the time I was fin-ished pushing snow I had prettycold feet but several piles of snow. Istopped by Dale and Cindy O’Con-nell’s and picked up papers theysaved for me. Dale was running thesnowblower while sitting on hischair with rollers and he was doinga great job. I offered to run thesnowblower but he said he neededto have something to do. I visitedPhyllis Word and Chinese checkerswere played with her taking allfour games, even though she triedto give me a chance. Tony Harty reported that Mon-day, Tuesday and Wednesday weresort of normal days, with no mailMonday but phone calls and mailpick up the other two days. Hedrove around a little and lookedover the town and was pleased tohave his drive cleared away whenhe returned home, thanks to DaleKoehn. The low in Kadoka wasminus 12˚ with a high of 23˚ andTony’s van fired right off, even inthat nasty temperature. He did alittle clearing away of snow fromaround his step, but all in all things

were good. In Rapid Valley, Don Moody re-ported a low of minus 23˚ and ahigh of 26˚ Wednesday. Don didnormal things around the house.He enjoyed a phone visit from BobAlmond and later in the day hemade a trip into town for supplies. Sandee Gittings visited at theJoe Gittings home Thursday after-noon. Roxie Gittings came fromRapid City Thursday evening to at-tended services for Marie Lammand spent the night with Sandeeand Robin. Our sympathy to the family ofMarie Lamm. Marie learned todrive later in her life and was abusy lady once she got wheelsunder her. I recalled visiting withher husband, George Lamm, as hetold about giving driving lessons. Thursday in Rapid Valley, DonMoody reported a low of minus 10˚and a high of 30˚. He kept busywith laundry, kitchen clean up andvisited with daughter Michelle Al-mond by phone. Thursday, Tony Harty did hisusual phone calls and picked up themail. Thanks to a little assistancefrom his niece, Kathy Brown, hewas able to make the trip to Philipto take care of a little business andattend the visitation for MarieLamm. Here at our house, Bill was fuss-ing with a cold and not feeling thebest. The bad news he missed cardplaying Wednesday and Thursdayand the rest of the week, the goodnews I didn’t have to call the doctorand he began to feel better after allmy home remedies. Thursday, Iwent to the grocery store and had avisit with Janelle Hicks as well asBud Weller. Nothing like runninginto friends when out shopping. Wehad snow showers in the afternoon. Don Moody was hustling aroundhis place in the morning Fridayfinding things to keep him busyuntil it warmed up a little. The lowwas minus 13˚ and high 28˚. Hetalked with Bob Almond on thephone, just checking in with eachother, then he made a shopping tripand picked up medicine for thedogs. Our place was busy Friday whenJerald Cook called and I put on thecoffee while he waited for the court-house to open up so he could get hislicenses. I told him he still had afew days in February to get the jobdone, but he’d decided to come tothe county seat while he was stillcleaned up and before he did moretaxidermy work. His chickens are athing of the past, but he now has awhite fox that lives in the chickenhouse, by desire. He said it is anArctic fox that was needing a homeafter being made a pet, so he nowhas a new critter. In the snow itdoesn’t show up much. Later in theday, Tony Harty stopped by andread the paper and I managed towin at Farkel. Sandee Gittings went to RapidCity Friday morning for her six-month checkup and got a clean billof health. After Roxie and Robin at-tended the funeral of Marie, Roxiedrove to Rapid and had lunch with

We tend to think of possession ina negative light, for example,saying that someone is

possessed by a demon or thinking thatsomeone is possessed by a spirit of greedor envy. But possession can be a positivething. We can be possessed by God or bya divine spirit, such as love or compassion,to such an extent that these becomesomething constant in our lives.Possession is more than just obsession.When one o1ers up all of one’s dailythoughts and activities to God, one is onthe way to being possessed by God.When one stays in constantcommunication with God, prayingbecomes second nature, and the Biblicaladvice to “pray without ceasing” becomesa description of our inner life rather thana prescription for how we ought to live.Being possessed by God won’t necessarilychange the outward appearance of ourlives; we will still have to get up everymorning and go to work, but we will do itwith a sense that all of these mundaneactivities are being o1ered to God, andare being done as a devotion to God.Every breath and every step we takebecomes a prayer and an act of devotion,and we are then on the way to living inthe constant presence of God.– Christopher Simon

We went back to Roswell andspent more time with the Mc-Daniels and collected some of thehomegrown pecans they sent homewith us, and some special home-made treats for Kaycee and Bryer.We also went out to their favoriteMexican restaurant in Roswell forour first experience with real Mex-ican food. It was great! From Roswell, we went toThrockmorton, Texas, to visitfriends who have a ranch therewhere we had a good visit, metsome of their kids and grandkids,and got to see lots of great bullsand horses. Catching up on familyevents and just enjoying visitingfilled the afternoon before weheaded north where we checked onour calves at the Lincoln Countyfeedlot in Nebraska before return-ing home last Friday Couldn’t just sit around home, sowe went to Ft. Pierre Saturday tohelp Don Sandal celebrate his 80thbirthday. And what a celebration itwas! Lots of people, good music,good food and fun visiting peoplewe don’t see often enough. Well, Don Sandal – sounds likeyou had a whole lot of folks at your80th birthday party. But then, foranyone who knows you, knew itwould be. You are one of those peo-ple who knows no stranger, you area friend to all. That's a gift! I haveknown you all of my life, for yourfamily and my family were activemembers of the Deep CreekLutheran Church for many years.Our ancsters along with many oth-ers helped build that church.

But youwere for sure and for certain in ourthoughts. So happy for you on your80th birthday party. Where havethe years gone?

(this week’s news) Hello on this glorious Monday ofFeb. 26! The sun is shining brightlyon the snowcovered ground, thereis no wind and last I looked tem-peratures were 40˚. What a wel-come relief from the bitter coldtemperatures, along with thosestrong winds, most of the month ofFebruary. Everyone is ready to saygoodbye to February. It's been atough winter with some major fluissues, along with colds and coughsthat keep hanging on and on. Sofar, Jerry and I have been lucky,possibly due to the fact we've prettymuch stayed at home. In callingVerona Evans for news, shesounded more than a bit tough, re-porting she has had this terriblecough for about a week or more. Myadvice was to make a warm toddieof honey and vinegar. Not soundingtoo sure about that, I suggested abit of Jack Daniels. Jerry's aunt,Virgie, was a believer in a shot ofblack berry wine or two. CousinIvan Schanzenbach had that terri-ble cough for a long time too. Thekind of cough that makes your ribsand stomach hurt from those manytimes of coughing. He's happy to beout of the hospital and back at hisroom in Silverleaf Assisted Livingwith his large television screenmaking for a more enjoyable timein watching his favorite televisionprograms. I'm feeling a bit more in controlon this Monday in doing my Mid-land News column, so hopefully,there won't be any oops or hiccups,this week. Time will tell, right? Ex-actly! It seems as if it has been aroller coaster ride of emotions andadventure. Truth be told, I've neverbeen a fan of roller coasters andferris wheels. I can't rememberwhere or when, but anyway, Jerrytalked me into going for a ride on adouble ferris wheel. Well, I'mthinking that was a no-brainer, forif you are a bit squimish about asingle ferris wheel, what is yourreasoning for getting on a double,right? Okay, okay, guess you'vegotten the picture by now. We wereoff and running with me givingJerry strict instructions – don't youdare even think about rocking thisseat. My eyes were shut tight thewhole ride and with a death-gripon the bar in front, I hadn't evennoticed we had stopped. Openingmy eyes the poor young man looked

a bit stressed himself, probablythinking he had a lunatic on board.Between Jerry and that youngman, they were finally able to prymy fingers from the handle. Need-less to say, that was the end of myferris wheel ride of adventure!You'll have to excuse me, okay? ForI seem to be off on a game of truthor consequences. I've never beenwhat you would call a free spirit –a person open to all kinds of adven-ture and challenges. I neverlearned to ride a bicycle – mightwreck you know. Schanzenbachshad given us Joan's old bicycle andit was old. It was not what youwould call a speed bike, it was apedal bike with your feet and legsbeing put to the test. It had thoserounded fenders on the front andback tires. Phil and I came up withthe idea of tying a pillow onto theback fender. That was where I satwhile Phil did the pedaling. All wasfine until we were heading down-hill with the bike picking up speed,and we were a bit out-of-control.You guessed it, we had a wreck.The pillow was shredded, the fronttire off-kilter and we had somescrapes and brusies, but no brokenbones. It was fun while it lasted. When at our uncle and aunt, Royand Clara Roseth's, Roy wouldsometimes want us kids to ride thehorses giving them a bit of excerise.Being what you call chicken little,I wasn't real keen on that idea, butI didn't want to admit it. So off wewent for a ride. All was good untilwe started for home. Phil's horseand my horse took off on a racewith a fence getting closer andcloser. I'm thinking this fool horseis going to kill us both. But when aswe got to the fence, he stopped, giv-ing me time to get a grip on thereins the rest of the way home. Philbeing the adventorous one, thoughtis was great fun. He loved it! Wehave a whole lot of memories withour Roseth cousins. When at our family legacy eventon the 10th of February, some of usgot to talking about swimming les-sons at Spearfish. As Lola Rosethgot to sharing stories, I did, too. Forwe both had the same swimminginstructor. That old gal did it formany years, when mom was goingto summer school. She thought itwould be good for Phil and I to goto grade school summer classes andto take swimming lessons. WhenLola Klima, (now Roseth) went tocollege at Black Hills State Univer-sity in Spearfish she had that sameinstructor. She was not a fan to ei-

ther of us. We both experiencedwhat happened when you wouldn'tput your face under-water to thecount of seven – she held it downfor you. You had to wear swimmingcaps at that time, with both of uslosing our swimming caps in theprocess. I also remember the timewe had to dive off the diving board.On the walk to that dreaded divingboard, I was saying under mybreath, “I can't do it, over and over,but I have to or she will push me offit.” Well, I did a major belly-flophearing the instructor saying ouchas I hit the water. It was so muchfun sharing memories with Lola! Ishared with Lola of my second yearof beginners swimming and agroup of us being in the wateralong side the pool. My twin was inthe class, the instructor called myname telling me to swim back andforth across the pool. Well, I wasfeeling a bit puffed up thinking,wow, she wants me to show thisgirl how to swim. My moment offame was quickly snuffed out, forwhen I had finished, she told thatgirl, "She was as bad as you a yearago, there is hope for you yet." I'mthinking we must not try out forswimming olympics. Right, Lola? Jenna reported: It's Mondayevening and I just got back fromthe boys’ basketball game inKadoka. The KHS boys beat NewUnderwood. Kaelan Block is amember of the team and so muchfun to watch! The Tumblers performed theirroutine at halftime of the Kadokavs. Philip boys varsity basketballgame Feb. 23 in which Kadoka waswinner of the game. The tumblingcrew continues to work hard andentertain the crowds at every per-formance! You have two more op-portunities to watch them perform,March 22nd at the Education Fairin Midland, and Rock the Rim inKadoka, April 7. Be sure to markthe dates on your calendar! Reminder: Friday, March 2, at10:00 a.m. the Midland Libraryboard will be meeting at the libraryto discuss their upcoming annualsoup and sandwich fundraiserevent. This event is held each yearat the Midland School EducationalFair which will be held March 22.So make plans to attend for a fullevening of events, enjoying a tasty

bowl of chicken noodle soup or chili,bars and cookies; parents andgrandparents having a chance tosee what their kids have beendoing throughout the school year;checking out the Book Fair of booksavailable for sale; and we can't for-get the performance by our mightytumbling team. I'm looking forwardto that! I've asked Jenna to send areport with pictures to the PhilipPioneer Review newspaper on anevent she and Jessica McKinleyhave put together which has beenheld at the library each Wednesdayin the month of February. I hap-pened to be there on one of theWednesdays so can vouch on whata great learning and fun project ithas been for the kids who come.Each week centered on a certaintheme, reading a book to each childthere with art projects in conjunc-tion with the theme. There havebeen from 35 to 45 plus of kids andparents coming each week. Jennaand Jessica have a busy life withyoung and school age children tocare for and all else that goes withhaving a busy family. Much thanksto both of them for taking timefrom their busy schedule to take onsuch a project. Audrey and Cody Jones had abirthday party for their two-year-old daughter, Erica, recently.Grandparents, Jerry and JoyJones, and Audrey's mom, Sylvia,along with some members of theTrapp family were there for thefamily. That little one is a realcutie! Morrie and Barb Jones spent theweekend at Howard this pastweekend. Their daughter, Carrie,and husband, Wes Mentele, weregoing to be gone for a few days, sograndpa and grandma Jones werespending some time with theirthree grandchildren. Their grand-son, Logan, who is a sixth graderhad a basketball game at Montroseso all headed out for the game.Logan's team took consolationprize. Pat Saucerman is enjoyingspending some time with her son,Miles and Dr. Laura and littleCalvin at West Minister, Colo.Sounds like she is enjoying somewarmer temperatures. Pat's son,Johnny, took her to the airport tofly out and hopefully by the time he

picks her up at the airport we willbe having warmer temperaturesback home. Happy you were able tospend time with family, Pat. Clint and Prerry Saucermanspent a few days with their son, Teland Ellie (Nemec) Saucerman andfamily in Rapid City. Their grand-son, Sawyer, is a seventh graderand played in two basketballgames, with he and his team win-ning both games. Congratulations,guys! John and Linda Nemec werethere for one of the games. WithTel's family, Clint and Prerry, Johnand Linda enjoying lunch together.Stacey Nemec and Kim Bierle, bothfrom Pierre, were also at the bas-ketball games, as Sawyer isStacey's nephew. Stacey and Kimwent to Custer for a visit withStacey's dad, Mark Nemec. Clintand Prerry spent the night at Teland Ellie's before heading backhome the next day. Besides beingpastor of their church, Tel alsoworks for DOT and was called outdue to weather issues. Prerry vis-ited her mom, Marlin Evans, at theKadoka Nursing Home Thursday. Teresa reports: The best part ofthis week so far is the warmer tem-peratures! Sounds like they willcontinue on for the week, so we willjust enjoy! Not too much news this week –glad we had games to go to. By thetime this is printed, our boys willhave played Kadoka to find outwho continues on, aiming to be onthe road to the State B tourna-ment. We sure enjoyed watchingthem play their final two homegames. Sunday, the 25th, was the play,“The Three Musketeers,” put on bythe Pierre Players. Attending wereMargie Peters, Karla Mannhalter,Jackie Fosheim, Teresa Palmer,and Carmen Miller. We had lunchtogether in Pierre before the play.Joining us at the theater wasDiane Hendricks Booth. KelcyNash visited with our group andwe also saw relatives, Tina andJudy, Betty Lou Mann and GenLiffengren. This tale is based onthe classic by Dumas and tells thestory of the young D'Artagnanwhose one desire is to become thenoblest of guardsmen: a Muske-teer. Upon reaching Paris, he en-counters the famous musketeers.Together, they cross wits, heartsand swords with the villainousCardinal and his henchmen. Wefound this play to be action packedfrom the start! We thoroughly en-joyed every bit of it and found theking especially to be quite humor-ous! Billy Graham left a lastinglegacy for all time! With his pass-ing at age 99 years came a wholelot of memories of when our son,Christopher, and myself, flew toNorth Carolina to visit son Les andJolene when they lived at Wilks-boro, N.C. It was an awesome timeof visiting family and going to dif-ferent historic places, such as theBilly Graham Legacy. It was to-tally amazing! As we toured hislegacy one knew for certain hisroots of growing up on a dairy farmwere close to his heart. We visitedthe Billy Graham library which isin the shape of a barn with it'shuge glass cross at the front of thebuilding, and entering that build-ing at the foot of that cross. Thebeautiful landscape and this awe-some walk throughout Christianhistory is like no other I've ever ex-prienced. There is a huge paintingby Thomas Kincaid of a cross atopan awesome hill of beauty on dis-play. I have that very picture!

Sandee and went with her to meether new oncologist. Sandee Gittingsvisited at the Joe Gittings homeFriday evening, then kept score atthe bowling alley. Sympathy is extended to the fam-ily of Char Price Stangle whopassed away Saturday at her homenorth of Philip. A note from Cathy Fiedler saidthey didn’t have any news from theSturgis area except that the sunwas shining and they were enjoyingthe warmer temperatures. Saturday morning, Don Moodydid his usual things, then he pickedup Michelle and Bob Almond andthey headed to Deadwood. He saidthey saw some accidents on the wayup there caused by blowing snowand slippery conditions, but whenthey came home the roads weregood. It was warmer in Deadwoodand not much snow even in thecanyon. He did a little shopping be-fore calling it a day after droppingMichelle and Bob off. Plans can change and that is

what happened Saturday morning.Lee Vaughan and I planned on at-tending a meeting at the airport inRapid that morning, but snow wascoming down pretty good all morn-ing and I chickened out, no need ingetting out when you don’t reallyneed to. We got about one to twoinches of snow out of that, but thewind didn’t blow right here in town.The temperature go to 40˚, so thathelped settled the fluffy stuff. Tony Harty made calls Saturdayand after the snow quit he went tothe post office for the mail. Sundayafter church, he had dinner out andin the afternoon went to the districtfree throw at the auditorium andwatched the event. He said quiet afew of the participants were goingto state. Sunday was a special day forMichelle Almond, it was her birth-day and she had a special date withher son, Jay. She also visited herstep-mother. Later in the day,Michelle and Bob, along with theirdog, Tippy, visited Don Moody.Michelle brought Don some of herbirthday cake. Don’s place is like a

magnet for food, he said Susan Fel-lows brought by food twice this pastweek. They drop it off when theyleave off the paper. Sunday after church, I took thecar to the shop and aired the tirestrying to get the low tire light toshut off. It didn’t work the first goaround, but I finally got it off. At38˚ for a high, the snow was reallysettling down. Someone was havingfun with a snowmobile and usedthe road ditch and part of our yardto get turned around. It sort of re-minds you of the trucker song, giveme 40 acres and I’ll turn this rigaround. Sandee Gittings went in to playbingo at the legion hall Sunday af-ternoon. Wade, Jessica and MelodieMcGruder were at the Gittings’home Sunday evening and broughtsupper. What a treat that is, givingSandee a break from the kitchenduty. “Never ask old people how theyare if you have anything else to dothat day.” Joe Restivo

Greetings from sunny, beautiful,snowcovered northeast HaakonCounty! There is a bit of a breezewhich has a little bite this morning(Tuesday), but it appears that thisis going to be a gorgeous day! Yes-terday was beautiful as well, andour big piles of snow seemed toshrink a bit. However, they have along ways to go! The snow is deeparound here, and the snow piles inthe yard are big – perfect for littlekids to climb and slide down. Theguys have also been clearing snowfrom some of the lots in prepara-tion for calving season. Hopefullythese warmer days will put a cruston the snow so it won't be blowingaround. These nicer days are certainlywelcome after the snowy, coldweather we had last week. Eventhe chickens are happy – wescooped snow out of a portion oftheir pen so they can finally getoutside and get a little fresh airand sunshine. They have beentroopers, continuing to provide uswith eggs even when it was so coldand blustery. They are probablydreaming of green grass, just likethe rest of us! They are probablydreaming of grasshoppers as well;me, not so much. More good news – my voice ismostly back! Hallelujah! I was be-ginning to think that I was going tobe whispering forever! My condolences to the familiesand friends of Don Rounds andChar Price-Stangle. They wereboth special people and they will bemissed. Several in our neighborhood aretraveling, so the news is a bit ab-breviated this week. Hopefullywe'll be able to get caught up innext week's news. On to the news – There were nochurch services at Deep CreekChurch Sunday due to bad roadconditions. Hopefully next weekwill be better. Duane and Lola Roseth were vis-itors at Dick and Gene Hudson'shome Sunday. Duane killed a coy-ote, so they took it over to Dick andGene's grandson, Noah Johnson.The Hudsons and Roseths enjoyedsome card games and a nice visit.Monday evening, Lola attended anEMT banquet in Midland. Dorothy Paulson said her newsfor the week consisted of diggingout, watching it snow, digging outagain, then more snow – you getthe picture. Monday, Dorothy wasin Philip to take care of some busi-ness. Billy and Arlyne said they had arelatively news-free week, as well.They just stayed home andwatched it snow. The staying homepart was nice, but they are stillworking on shoveling the hugesnow bank on the south side oftheir house. Arlyne said they en-joyed watching the Olympics,rodeo, and state wrestling tourna-ment on television. And speakingof the state wrestling tournament,I need to give a shout out to TateGabriel, Billy and Arlyne's grand-son. He is a huge wrestling fan,and he kept everyone informed viasocial media on the status of thePierre and Ft. Pierre wrestlerscompeting in the tournament. I re-ally appreciated his updates! It isobvious he loves the sport! Dick and Gene Hudson were inPierre Thursday so Gene could at-tend a physical therapy session,and they went again Monday. Sheplanned to go a week ago Mondayas well, but the weather didn't co-operate. She said the new knee isdoing very well. Tomorrow,Wednesday, she will get thestitches out – yahoo! Gene said shehas been busy doing some baking.One thing you can count on if yougo to Dick and Gene's house, therewill always be some sort of deli-cious baked goods ready for com-pany! (Aunt Ruth Neuhauser'shome was the same way. If youwent to visit, she would generallyhave an assortment of cookies orbars for her guests!) Max and Joyce Jones were inRapid City last Wednesday for adoctor's appointment. Max is look-ing and feeling well, and his ap-petite is still good as well. Greatnews! Monday, Joyce and ToddJones kept a tax appointment inWinner and Kim Jones Ferriesspent the day with Max. Other-wise, Joyce said it has been a rela-tively quiet week. There has beenlots of snow moving going on,which I think is probably the caseat most everyone's place this pastweek. Coreen Roseth said it has been aquieter week at their place, as well.The guys are busy feeding live-stock, calving, pushing snow – nor-mal activities. Coreen said shespent part of the week canningmeat. The canned meat is a won-derful, delicious, handy item tohave in the pantry! You can turn itinto a meal in a matter of minutes! Bill and Polly Bruce spent sometime traveling last week. A weekago Saturday, they went to theMitchell area to the home of theirdaughter, Vicki, and her husband.Sunday they attended church in

Mitchell and had brunch before re-turning to Vicki's home. Also onSunday, their daughter, CathyRieker, Lexington, Neb., arrived atVicki's home, so Sunday eveningwas spent visiting. Monday, Cathytook Bill and Polly to Sioux Falls tokeep a doctor's appointment. Theyreturned to Vicki's place Mondayevening, and Cathy returned to herhome in Nebraska Tuesday. Billand Polly came back to their ranchWednesday. Cathy and Bill andPolly were fortunate to have goodroads while traveling home. Pollysaid shortly after they got home,grandson Riley came to visit, andhe was ready to bake cookies! Sothat is what they did – Riley was incharge of the sprinkles. Friday,Wayne Dvorak and his daughter,Caitlyn, Ashton, came to visit –they stayed at Vince Bruce's home.Saturday, the snow kept Bill andPolly from attending church, but itdidn't keep Wayne Dvorak fromcooking. He treated everyone onthe ranch to BBQ ribs! Wayne andhis daughter returned to theirhome Monday. Frank and Shirley Halligandrove to Rapid City Wednesday af-ternoon, and Shirley had some skinsurgery early Thursday morning.Sunday, they went to town forchurch. Frank visited Jerry andMarie Sylva, and Frank andShirley went to the movie before re-turning home. Shirley mentionedthat Frank's mother, Ruth, grewup in Cavour, and she and her sis-ters went to school with DonRounds many years ago. Nancy Neuhauser spent most oflast week in Sioux Falls, consultingwith the doctor about the besttreatment for her back. She is hav-ing some treatments, and there aremore procedures planned. Thegoal, of course, is to get rid of theback pain! Nancy's grandson hasbeen in Pierre serving as a page inthe legislature, so he was stayingat Ray and Nancy's place. Anothergrandson, Landon, was a wrestlerat the state tournament last week-end, and he won a scholarship.Congratulations to him! Kelly Briggs said there hasn'tbeen much of anything newswor-thy at their place. They stay busywith the ranch work and their chil-dren. Kelly said the kids are reallyenjoying the huge snow piles! Ruth Neuhauser had a visit fromher granddaughter, Jodi LynnNeuhauser, Thursday and Fridayof last week. Jodi is the daughter ofMyron Neuhauser, and she lives inNew York City. She flew to SiouxFalls Thursday, then drove toHighmore and Pierre. She encoun-tered some not-too-nice roads, butshe and Grandma Ruth had a greatvisit. Jodi spent Thursday and Fri-day nights in Pierre, and she got tospend time with her cousins, Nickand Brianna Neuhauser. Saturday

she came out to Robbs Flat and vis-ited at our house. She went fromhere to Rapid City to see friends,and she planned to meet up withher cousin, Sarah, and her aunt,Nina, before heading back to theEast Coast. She certainly madegood use of her time! Our week was busy, and ofcourse the snow just made things alittle more difficult. Chelsea, Mad-die and I were in Rapid CityWednesday to keep a doctor's ap-pointment. Wednesday night, Rossand Jen (Neuhauser) Tschetter andtheir daughter, Caroline, arrived.They spent the night, then Jen andRoss headed for the Black Hills fora couple of days, and granddaugh-ter Caroline got to stay here andentertain us! She and her cousin,Maddie, had quite a time – they arebusy, rambunctious little gals. Jenand Ross had planned to be in theBlack Hills until Saturday, butthey ended up coming home a dayearly due to weather conditions attheir farm in eastern SouthDakota. They made the right deci-sion, arriving back at their homebefore the worst of the weathercame. Our nephew, Dylan, came tothe ranch Friday, and he helpedwith some projects Saturday. JodiNeuhauser arrived at the ranchSaturday morning, and we had agreat visit. She left after lunch,headed for Rapid City. Her cousin,Nick Neuhauser, drove ahead ofher to make sure she made it to thehighway. Jodi's rental car was notfour wheel drive, and the snow wasa bit deep in spots. The good newsis she made it without incident.Sunday, Chelsea, Maddie and Iwent to Kadoka to visit my mother,Letoy Brown. I hadn't been able tovisit Mom for a while because I hadbeen sick, so I was really glad to getthere. While in Kadoka, we at-tended a birthday party for my sis-ter Ellie's three-year-old grandson,Quintin. It was a great opportunityto see several members of my fam-ily. This week, I am grateful for theextra hours of daylight each day! Itcertainly seems to brighten mymood and increase my productiv-ity! According to one of the morningnews shows, we will gain an extraone and a half hours of daylight perday by the end of March!! and it isonly three weeks until the first dayof Spring. It just keeps getting bet-ter and better! I hope the extra daylight isbrightening your days also. Go outand share those smiles, phone afriend, bake cookies and share witha friend, send a note to brightensomeone else's day!

nities with students and other potential employees.

The Philip Scotties boys’ basket-ball team hosted the Faith Long-horns, Feb. 17. Philip is in Region7B, while Faith is in Region 8B. “While we kept it close in thefirst quarter, ultimately it was ourlack of effort on defense against ahot-shooting Faith team that didus in,” said Philip head coachCasey Jore. “It was a frustratinggame because we had been playingvery well the last two weeks andthis puts us down another spot inthe region standings with onegame to go.” The two varsity teams ended thefirst quarter within only one pointof each other. The next quarterwas the lowest scoring one of thegame by the Scotties. The thirdquarter was, in itself, a tie withboth teams adding 19 points totheir sides of the scoreboard. Thesecond quarter’s deficit by Philipwas compounded by Faith’s of-fense in the fourth quarter. Va-lient effort or not, the Scotties had

to settle for an away loss.1 2 3 4

Golden West Telecommunications is once againteaming up with local schools to help students makea difference in their classrooms and community. Dur-ing the month of March, Golden West will donate $50on behalf of every new customer, or current customerwho upgrades service. The donation will go to thatcustomer’s local elementary school, where the stu-dents will decide how to put the money to good use. In 2017, Golden West customers raised $17,700 forelementary schools across the state. Students put themoney to good use in a variety of ways, including: •Bridgewater Elementary helped students in Rock-port, Texas, a community recovering from HurricaneHarvey. “Our first, second and third-grade studentswrote letters and cards to the students at Live OakLearning Center, and they used our donation to buysupplies for the students that lost everything,” saysBridgewater Elementary Principal Kim Aman.

•Martin Grade School purchased “gadgets” to pro-mote coding in their math and science classes. “Stu-dents will build their own programs to run robots,build their own inventions and have fun in theprocess,” says Martin Grade School Principal AmyKuxhaus. •Custer Elementary packed meals for Kids AgainstHunger. “Students learn about compassion, worldhunger and are able to make a difference in the livesof fellow students, most who only receive one meal aday,” says Custer Elementary Counselor MichelleWatland. The response from the 2017 campaign was remark-able and Golden West is looking forward to helpinglocal elementary schools again this year. The 3rd An-nual Pay It Forward campaign will run from March1st through March 31st. To learn more, visit golden-west.com/payitforward or call 1-855-888-7777.

Markets

A few weeks ago, I wrote aboutmy milk cow, Rita. There is actu-ally a second part to the story. Afterthose first happy months with Rita,I figured I could trust that thedairy-ing life was the life for me. SoI bought a yearling Jersey-Anguscross. She was black and sturdy,with wide, snappy brown eyes, andher orange ear tag carried asnappy, sturdy name to match:Zena. She rumbled off the trailerinto the little pasture, and trottedup to meet Rita like she’d knownher forever. Like most yearlings, Zena’s

youth and inexperience kept heroptimistically inquisitive. Whatwere those? Dogs? Yes, she liked

dogs! And those? Chickens? Yes,she liked chickens! Sheep? Oh my,sheep were the most exciting! Twoyears, and a couple of calves, sepa-rated Rita from Zena, but, jersey-like, Rita seemed to think Zena wasok too. The two exchanged a fewfriendly nose nudges, and settledinto cohabitation.All was well in the little pasture,

except that a few days after Zena’sarrival, I noticed Rita’s milk pro-duction was down. For two milk-ings in a row, I got barely half apint from her. Of course, her calveswere growing, and consequentlydrinking more, but it seemed oddthat the amount they drank wouldincrease so precipitously. A fewmore days passed, and Rita’s bagwas nearly empty every morning,despite the fact that I was shuttingthe calves up at night. She seemedhealthy and happy though, so I re-signed myself to the fact that Rita

just didn’t have enough milk for meand two calves.About a week later, I stepped out

into the frosty, gray dawn to do mychores. Across the yard, in the nar-row part of the pasture by thehaystack, I could see Rita andZena’s figures in silhouette againstthe bright snow. Zena’s head wasbent, and half hidden by Rita’s leanflank. I crunched along the icy pathto the gate, and Zena lifted herhead, surprised by the sound of myfootfalls. In the first light I couldjust barely discern a flash of whiteon Zena’s rubbery black snout--itwas the foamy ring of a milk mus-tache.“What?” I shouted. “Zena!” Un-

perturbed by my yelping, Zenagave a small nod in my direction asif to say, “Oh, hey there,” beforebending down and continuing todrink. Suffice it to say, that was the end

of Zena’s tenure in the little pas-ture. That very evening, much toher chagrin, she was sent out toroam with the Hereford yearlings.Since that day I’ve seen the “Oh,hey there” look many times. A cowin the hayfield? It’s Zena. “Oh, heythere,” she nods when we ride up tocollect her, then turns to continuemunching. A giant pile of green ma-nure in the driveway? There’s Zenagrazing in the yard with the bumlambs. “Oh, hey there,” she nodsbetween mouthfuls of sweet, freshgarden herbs when I rush out tostop her. My niece leaves a gateopen while going to check on a new-born lamb, and it’s Zena who care-fully slips out to stand in the tallgrass of the windbreak. “Oh, heythere,” she nods as I yell and wavewildly, trying to push her backthough the gate.“Do you think we should sell

Zena?” I asked my husband whenwe finally got her over the fence, abit of trepidation in my voice. He isalways more practical than I whenit comes to livestock management.“No, why?” he replied.

“Because she keeps getting out.”“Well, that’s just Zena being

Zena.”I am very thankful he sees it that

way. Haven’t we all fallen victim attimes to the illusion that the grassis greener on the other side of thefence? I’d hoped that after havingcalf or two of her own, she wouldlose interest in such adventures,and she has to a degree. However,there are still plenty of “oh, heythere” moments. They provide themildly annoying, but undoubtedlyamusing anecdotes that make mefeel the critters under my care arequirky neighbors, with rich innerlives I can only guess about. It’shumbling, and ultimately, I be-lieve, helpful, to remember thatthough their fates are in my hands,their souls are their own. And I alsolike to think that all God’s crea-tures have a place in the choir, eventhe fence crawlers. Zena may playher trumpet a little too long, and alittle too loud, but she does indeedmake a joyful noise, and that, to meanyway, is as much a blessing asfresh milk in the morning.
