by Del Bartels As of Monday, April 8, ZachThomsen, is the new HaakonCounty and northern JacksonCounty wildlife conservation officerwith the South Dakota Game, Fishand Parks. “In layman’s terms, from theWhite River to the CheyenneRiver,” said Thomsen about thearea he covers within the two coun-ties. “Obviously, I can’t meet every-body in one week. I will try myhardest to get out there and meetlandowners. I’m looking forward tomeeting people and working in thearea,” said Thomsen. A 2005 graduate from BrandonValley High School, he earned hisbachelors degree in wildlife andfisheries science from SouthDakota State University in 2009.During college, he held two internpositions with the GF&P in SiouxFalls, and after graduation workedtwo seasonal positions; all four as awildlife damage technician indepredation control. The beginningof 2012 he was working full time asa regional program assistant. “When I applied the academy, Iapplied for Philip specific,” saidThomsen. “The job for Philip cameopen, and I knew I would not mindcoming here. It’s a good station;I’ve heard nothing bad. The peopleare great. It’ll be a good district towork in.” The South Dakota Law Enforce-ment Academy in Pierre is 13weeks of training required for alllaw enforcement personnel, policedepartments, sheriff offices, high-way patrol troopers and conserva-tion officers. Thomsen then didthree weeks of post academy learn-ing in Pierre. Then he wentthrough four months of field train-ing; eight weeks in the Chamber-lain area followed by seven weeksin the Spearfish area. “It was kinda nice. I got to makecontacts in the prairie and thehills, nice to meet in the middle onthese,” said Thomsen. Though raised in the city, hespent a lot of time on the farm. His

grandparents had a farm in south-eastern South Dakota, and hisuncle and aunt also have a farmthere. He also did some work on afarm outside Brandon. “The reason I got involved withthis kind of job was I grew up hunt-ing and fishing,” said Thomsen.This was mostly with his dad. “I’vealways wanted to be a game war-den. I love the outdoors. I likeworking with landowners, giving ahelping hand in trying to conservethe habitat and providing theyouth with as much hunting as Ienjoyed when I was their age.” “A nice thing about my job is it’snot all about law enforcement. I doa lot with landowners, and withhabitat, wildlife and fisheries man-agement,” he said. “I like this, you don’t get thatanywhere else. Small town atmos-phere; really big in my part. Defi-nitely different than the big city,”said Thomsen. “It’s awesome, I

don’t know how else to say it.” His first day was mostly spentgetting his equipment and workingwith Brian Meiers, wildlife conser-vation officer supervisor for theGF&P out of Rapid City. Thomsenstill took care of local business bytaking a barn owl, wounded whengetting caught in a fence, to theraptor center in Rapid City. “I have been watching Zachprogress through the law enforce-ment academy and am verypleased with his performance,”stated Mike Kintigh, regional su-pervisor for Region 1, S.D. GF&P.“I’m also familiar with his priorwork experience and interactionswith public and coworkers. All thisleads me to believe we are develop-ing a fine young officer for thePhilip district.” For the last fewyears, the district had been in-cluded in the responsibilities of Of-ficer Josh Brainard out of the Walloffice.

by Del Bartels The Midland Drama Club willperform this year’s comedy “War-ren’s Peace” Friday and Saturday,April 26-27, at 7:00 p.m., and Sun-day, April 28, at 2:00 p.m. Written by Marc and Kathy Hol-land, this situational comedy hasdialogue that could come from anysmall town community. The barbs,insults and zingers seem almosttoo natural and believable. Theconflicts are between a marriedcouple, a long-forlorn ex-boyfriendwho lost his high school sweet-heart, and two ladies who seem-ingly hate each other’s guts ... andthey’re sisters. The first of two acts lights thewick that could set off a 20-year-oldpowder keg of animosity betweenthe five characters. The poor dupewho holds the match is a NationalGuard representative sent to putup a banner, stage some public re-lations photos and maybe give ashort, halfhearted speech on WorldPeace Day. An unprecedented year of peaceprompts the government to hold asmall ceremony at each placewhere its armed forces have everbeen deployed. Long ago, the speckof a town called Crickwater actu-ally threatened to leave the Unionand join with Canada. This almostmissed footnote in the records be-comes a public relations nightmarefor officer Warren, who is stuckwith the drab task since he missedhis division’s trip to Germany anda prolonged party. Matthew Jones plays the part ofthe poor slacker. He walks into alove triangle that has been simmer-ing to blow since three formerclassmates’ senior year. The town’smayor, played by Lawrence Strop-pel, parades around his trophywife, played by Brenda Jensen, justto dig the knife deeper into herhigh school sweetheart, played byDennis Sinkey, who is the town’spubic works director. All the while,the characters played by AudreyJones and Rayma Reimann haveabsolutely nothing good to sayabout each other. The zingers areexceedingly comical, yes, thoughunrelenting. This terrible peacewill eventually resolve itself intowar. The action takes place in a court-house room where half is the publiclibrary and, across an imaginaryline in the carpet, is the city hall.For your own sake, do not let thatline waver. Somehow the embar-rassing history has been let out ofthe bag, and reporters are crowdedoutside the courthouse. Even theimpromptu political speech is up-roarious. The big question is, willthere be cake? Directed by Jensen, the castmakes the banter and volatile situ-ations flow toward the play’s cli-max. The audience had better be-ware not only the flying barbs, butmay itself become cannon fodder.

Midland comedy “Warren’s Peace”

The slack-off National Guardsman is warned about the former Army Ranger who“can kill a man with pocket lint.” The mayor and librarian are more interested inthe show than in the visitor’s safety. You could say the poor guy is saved by adead deer on the road into town. Shown, from left, are actors Dennis Sinkey,Matthew Jones, Lawrence Stroppel and Audrey Jones. Photos by Del Bartels

“Are you keeping something from me?” “Usually!” ... “I’ve got a feeling you’re mak-ing fun of me!” “Well, go with that feeling!” ... “You treat strangers better thanme, and you don’t treat them nice either.” ... “Around here we try not to judge a

man by the color ofhis neck.” ... “Youthink some daywe can look backon all this and notpuke?” ... “Believeme, you put the“F” “U” in FUN!” ...“I’d be honored, ifI were an idiot.”Actors RaymaReimann, left, andAudrey Jones playthe part of smalltown sisters.Come to the Mid-land play andwatch the long-brewing war breakout into “Warren’sPeace.”

by Del Bartels The Haakon School DistrictBoard of Education came out of anexecutive session during its April15 meeting to vote to give one-time$300 bonuses to all its certified,classified and administrative per-sonnel. The 2013 South Dakota legisla-ture had allocated certain amountof one-time money to the state’sschool systems. The Haakon sys-tem received $13,500. The localboard decided that the funds wouldbe best used if awarded to the 45full time personnel who are in oneof these three categories. In other business, the board de-cided to offer contracts to its certi-fied and classified employees fornext school year. Contracts will beoffered at the current salary andterms, in an effort to determine anymovement and hiring needs. Also,contracts were offered now becausethe school year will be over by thetime the board meets again in May.After negotiations are completed,contracts will be reissued with anynew fiscal year 2014 changes. Asfar as the administrative contracts,all have been signed and returned.Those salaries and terms will alsobe negotiated at a later date. Steve Leithauser, Cottonwood,has been hired as the new mainte-nance director and custodial super-visor. He will finish out the fiscalyear, then at the beginning of Julywill be under full contract. For the month of March, pay foran equivalent of 27 days of substi-tutes came to a total of $1,860.Hourly wages for 2,072.2 hours to-taled over $22,607. The board approved a valuationstudy that is required every threeyears. The study is supposed toidentify the cost of other post em-ployment health benefits offered toretirees. The last such study wasdone in fiscal year 2010 at a cost of$2,000. Business Manager BritniRoss said that not having the valu-

ation done would be similar to aperson having a very bad mark ontheir credit report. Elementary, high school andstaff handbooks have been ap-proved for next school year. Thespecial education Title programsection has been completely up-dated, but otherwise only twochanges of note have been imple-mented. The prom has been specif-ically included on the list of extracurricular activities that a studentmay not participate in if theirgrades dictate that the student isineligible. Also, instead of theschool district footing the bill, stu-dents will now be responsible forthe cost of taking most make upcourses in the alternative educa-tion program. “We’re enabling them is what weare doing,” said SuperintendentKeven Morehart. “We are trying tohold the kids accountable.” The al-ternative education program is forstudents to work at their own paceto make up a failed class. It ismostly for students who have faileda semester and need the full creditin order to graduate. Secondary Principal Mike Baersaid, “The course might be offered,but not where it can fit their sched-ule. And, we don’t want a senior ina freshman class.” He added, “Ifthey were struggling, and they areworking and getting help, they willpass.” He said, “Biggest thing is thestudent paying for it.” Baer’s principal’s report beganwith, “Keep your eyes on the calen-dar because there have been a lotof changes.” As Morehart’s super-intendent’s report echoed, the re-cent snow storm has canceled orpostponed many spring sportsevents, and some things have beenshifted to accommodate. Scottie Fest will be Thursday,April 18, as will the local elemen-tary spelling bee. April 22 will bethe annual preschool screening. Also on April 22, the National

Honor Society will hold its induc-tion ceremony. Baer said they arechanging the event to make it moreof a big deal. Jerry Rhodes will bethe guest speaker. This year’s freshman core safetyevent (mock traffic accident) will beheld at Douglas on April 24. Workis being done to try to get the eventto again be more local and includeWall, Kadoka Area and Philip as ithas been in previous years. The second annual Science Daywill be April 25. This began lastyear in place of the track and fieldday for the elementary students.“We’ve got some pretty good peoplelined up,” said Morehart of the dif-ferent stations that the kids will at-tend. The regional elementary spellingbee will be April 29. An awards banquet will be heldMay 9 in the Fine Arts Building.The intention is to make the eventa little nicer and recognize all thestudents in one spot. The coachesand advisors are not to rehash theentire season. As a connected sidenote, Baer said that the variouscoaches will have monthly meet-ings for networking and mentoring,and to try to get a team atmos-phere for all coaching. May 11 will be the high schoolgraduation, with the eighth gradegraduation on May 14. As of the February 22 petitiondeadline, only one incumbent,Doug Thorson, had filed for his seatfor a three-year term. A new filer,Brad Kuchenbecker, will fill a seat,also for a three-year term. VondaHamill and Mark Nelson did notfile for their seats, which will leavea seat open. That seat will be filledwith a one-year appointment madeby the remaining board membersat the annual meeting in July. The next regular meeting for theHaakon School District 27-1 Boardof Education will be at 7:00 p.m.,Monday, May 20.

Bonuses given by school board

All of Jessica Wheeler’s third grade students got to watch Miles Wheeler dissecta cow eye. Then, if the students were brave enough, they got to hold the lens andsee how it magnified words on paper, pick up and touch all of the parts of theeye, find the optic nerve on the back, and look at the muscles to see how theyhelped move the eye. “I was the only one who was not brave enough to pick upor touch the eye,” admitted J. Wheeler. The hands-on materials for this part ofthe class’s unit on the senses were donated by Philip Custom Meats so the kidscould learn about the parts of the eye. Shown, from left are Addie Johnson, BrinHeltzel, Reghan Bloomquist, Allison Williams, Copper Lurz and Alec Crowser.

Lookin’ Around by Syd Iwan

Not all oranges are createdequal. I learned this early in lifesince my mother thought I shouldstart each day with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. She figuredit would be helpful in promotingmy health and well-being or somesuch thing. Most days this wasfine. Other days, not so much. For one thing, not all orangesare naturally sweet and tasty.Some are a bit sour or dull. Thenthere are those that have so muchpulp you almost need to eat thejuice with a spoon instead of drink-ing it. Others have so many ofthose tiny little seeds that you areunlikely to get them all out short ofusing a strainer. This hasn’tchanged much over the years, andbuying oranges is still a trickybusiness. You’re never quite surewhat you’re getting. That situation is similar in buy-ing lots of other things. Apples areeasier than oranges, but you stilloccasionally get “lemons.” Ba-nanas, though, seem to all be fairlymuch the same. One is prettymuch like another although eatingthem at just the right degree ofripeness can be hard to schedule.Meat, though, is often tough, liter-ally, and hard to figure out. Oneknows that round steak is alwaysgoing to need good strong teeth ifyou don’t cook it a long time, butother steaks vary a lot concerningtenderness and flavor. That’s one of the difficult thingsabout life – trying to make wise de-cisions. This not only applies tothings you buy, but to what you doto support yourself, what friends tohave, and lots of other things. Ididn’t have much trouble choosingan occupation since I was raised ona ranch and was the only son. Mydad basically wanted me to takeover when I grew up, and that wasfine with me. I did have a chanceto go on and make a career as anofficer in the Navy since, to keepme from leaving when my timewas up, they dangled a tasty carrotin front of me. This had to do withthe promise of being assigned tothe staff of a really weird admiralwho was considered the father ofthe modern nuclear navy. It wouldprobably have been a real plus inmy record and a stepping stone tohigher rank. Weighing thatagainst ranching wasn’t much of a

contest though. The rural life waswhat I wanted and what I chose. Ihave no regrets about that. I guess I never really set out tochoose good friends. I was just nat-urally drawn to those who had in-terests similar to mine. Since Iwasn’t exactly a party animal, nei-ther were my friends. They justwere those I somehow came toknow and like. Relatives, of course, you can’tchoose randomly. You’re just bornwith them. In some cases, that isjust fine. Take my Aunt Bessie, forexample. She was my mom’s sisterfrom California and a real sweet-heart. We got on extremely well to-gether, and I even stayed with herfor several months when I was sta-tioned in California during mytime in the Navy. Other relativeswere mostly okay although a fewwere marginal. You couldn’t dis-own them, exactly, but you couldchoose how much to associate withthem. Choosing business associates isalso tricky. I have taken in cattlefor people who just plain drove menuts. They were never quite satis-fied with your care of their live-stock. If there wasn’t anything re-ally wrong, they’d complain thatthe salt licks were getting low al-though they hadn’t really run outyet. Other guys would never quitelive up to their part of the deal con-cerning payment for services ren-dered etc. Then there are thosewho just never give you any trou-ble and work out great. The latteris what we currently have, thankgoodness. But, you know, we can only doour best. If we do that, we are aptto have few regrets. We can look atproducts or situations, think aboutthem, maybe do a bit of research,give ourselves some time and notrush, pray a little, and hope for thebest. I recently did some of thatconcerning the purchase of a bag oforanges. They looked and felt okay,were moderately priced, and sub-sequently came home with me.Now is crunch time. Guess I’ll gosqueeze one or two and have someorange juice. It may be great orless so, but at least it will remindme of my dear old mama whosqueezed a lot of oranges in her lifefor love of little old me. That’sworth quite a lot.

Spring snow ... by Del Bartels

I think it took a little while for most of us to recall what the white

stuff was. Though it’s been too little this year, it did slowly came back

to our memories that it is the winter moisture that our farm and ranch

lands so desperately need. It took just a little bit longer to remember

that snow can be fun.

I tried to shovel the walkway, knowing that I was simply spreading

out my labor as it continued snowing, instead of doing all the work after

the storm was over. No matter which way I turned, the wind

kept drilling cold snow into my face. Yet, when the storm was over

there was snow piled smartly on top of deck railings as if there had

been almost no wind at all.

I was moaning the cold when I noticed a black lump in the middle of

the yard. My son was laying there in his snow pants, boots, coat and

hat. He was watching the floating, swirling flakes hover down. They

didn’t last long against his body heat, but at only a foot or two above

ground level were getting just below the wind to hang above his face

where he could see the individual flakes. If shoveling was not his style,

at least not right then, then it wasn’t mine either.

School was canceled. It didn’t matter that Friday would make up for

the snow day. Today was what mattered; popcorn, a hot drink, some

TV, a board game, and periodically going back out in the snow. Some

families had hot chili for supper. Some found that baking was a rather

cozy way to heat the kitchen.

After the storm, some people told of driving like maniacs through

drifts. Even older drivers were having a blast. A coworker had a mas-

sive snowball fight with his dog; they both won. I actually saw a path

on one sidewalk that had to have been made by a bicycle. Now that

could have been interesting. I suppose that the city crews quickly tired

of clearing the roads, but it appeared to me that, to begin with, moving

the snow might have been fun. Before it disappeared, my son had to

climb to the top of the snow pile in the courthouse parking lot. I should

have joined him. There were paths on the hill by the school steps where

sleds had been used.

The springtime snow fascinated me. Paths as wide as a snow shovel

that had been quickly made were soon actually dry, with snow still on

both sides. Plodding over what appeared to be just snow, still somehow

got your boots muddy. Only one day and I didn’t have to clear snow off

of my car. Only one day and my dog then wanted to lay on the front

step, watching the world go by. But, there was only about one day

where the snow was good for winter activities.

Voices seem to carry easier over snow. Greeting neighbors had a clar-

ity to it that was kind of nice. I did have quite a number of drivers,

though, give me looks ranging from disbelief to laughter to threatening

when I reached for snow and started packing snowballs.

A gardening seminar, featuringGary Phillips, was held Thursday,April 11, in the Haakon CountyCourthouse community room. Hosted by the Haakon CountyPublic Library, Phillips of Gary’sOpen Door Greenhouse in Philip,spoke on container gardening andgreenhouse gardening, amongother gardening subjects. As an experienced gardener andformer agronomy specialist,Phillips is a good source for infor-mation when it comes to containergardening. Attendees were givensuggestions and heard experiencesfrom his own local business. All au-dience members were offered a freeheirloom tomato plant for theirgardens this season. Phillips dis-cussed tomato plants, heirlooms inparticular. The smallest container a personshould use when planting tomatoplants in containers is a five gallonbucket, he said. Determinate bushtype tomato plants are bettersuited for containers than the inde-terminate variety, which producesall season long. Larger containerswill hold more water, however, andtomatoes benefit from beingplanted deep in trenches becausethey will root all along the buriedportion which helps them duringtimes of heavy production. Due to tight spacing, containergardening offers a maximum ofgardening capabilities with mini-mal space and maintenance re-quirements. Beets can be plantedin a box six feet long and one andone-half feet wide, and may be re-planted right after harvest to re-utilize the soil. A small box with aminimum depth of 12 inches will beadequate for lettuce, radishes andspinach, which can be started in asemi-heated garage (any place thatwon’t freeze). If planting onions, besure that they receive full sun dur-ing the heat of the summer whenbulbs form and keep them in lightand fluffy soil for the largest bulbspossible. Top container plants for sun in-clude sweet potato vine, geranium,purple fountain grass, lobelia,petunia and herbs. Shade selec-tions include pansies, coleus andimpatiens. Phillips also recommended refur-bishing container soil each season,

which gives plants the best possiblegrowing conditions for optimal re-sults – highly desirable for SouthDakota gardeners. He likes mixinghis own soil to get the best possibleproduct, but warns that gardenersshould not use sand as part of theone-third, one-third, one-third –sand, peat and native soil combo,since heavy clay and sand com-bines into concrete. Locals are bet-ter off replacing sand with vermic-ulite. Another helpful ingredient for asuccessful container or raised bed

is manure. Generally, all manuresshould be used after having beenaged for at least one year or more.Fresh manure is typically too “hot”and will burn plants, with the ex-ception of rabbit manure whichalso happens to be the number onechoice. Following in order arechicken, sheep, horse and cattlemanures. To recap, containers and raisedbeds have come into their own inrecent years for city and countrydwellers alike. As an aging popula-tion moves into tighter quarters,they can still get their hands dirtyby using raised beds with sittingledges, custom built to a person'smost comfortable gardening heightand even use portable handrails.Installing T-handles on tools allowsfor better leverage for aging backsand waning strength. Containers ofall sizes will allow soil to warmquicker, smaller amounts of waterusage is a boon, weeding andmulching chores are minimizedand installation of casters makesmoving plants in and out of optimalgrowing conditions a breeze. Phillips enjoys experimentingwith new plants and is open to newideas and suggestions. Stop in forsome personal gardening advice.

Gardening seminar by Gary Phillips

A statewide tornado drill will beconducted for South Dakota by theNational Weather Service between9:00 a.m. and 9:30 am MDT,Wednesday, April 24. Because the exercise is used toensure communications and warn-ing systems are functioning prop-erly before storm season, peoplewill see and hear the actual alertsused for tornadoes. Outdoor warning sirens will besounded in many towns. The sirensmay not be heard inside homes andoffice buildings, as they are in-tended to alert people who are out-doors away from radio or TV. The drill will also include activa-tion of the Emergency Alert Sys-tem, which will interrupt localmedia broadcasts. The publicshould be aware that the scroll onbroadcast television and cable TVchannels will look like a real warn-ing, while the National Oceanicand Atmospheric AdministrationWeather Radio and broadcastaudio will be identified as a test. Local emergency response agen-cies may practice their responseprocedures and many schools willconduct safety drills for their stu-dents. Individuals do not need to takeany action during the drill, butthey are encouraged to make plansto protect themselves and theirfamilies before storms develop. Donot wait until the storm is headedtoward you, as there will not betime.

The snow had to go someplace. At the high school, it piled up on the downwindside just outside the windows. The sidewalk was soon not only bare of snow, butwas very quickly dry. Photos by Del Bartels

Snow welcomed to area

The Philip airport automatedweather station recorded 0.91inches of moisture during the lastsnow storm. The total so far thisyear is 2.18 inches, which is still0.30 inches below normal, but wellabove what it had a year ago, 0.75inches. Milesville had 13 inches of snowwith 1.12 inces of moisture; 2.11inches so far this year; normal yearto date is 2.88 inches. Kirley had seven inches of snowand 0.94 inches of moisturethrough the afternoon of April 9.

There may have had more later,but not reported as of yet. Therehas been 2.19 inches this year witha normal of 2.99. Cottonwood had 19.3 inches ofsnow with 1.75 inches of moisture;3.47 inches this year; normal is2.65 inches. Wind gusts during the snowstorm were reported up to 40 milesper hour.

Cropping Choices and WaterUse Relationships

The precipitation from the re-cent snow storm provided welcomerelief in terms of soil moisture.Standing stubble certainly showedits value as fields with stubblecaught a uniform layer of snowthat will help replenish dry soilswith an inch or more of valuablemoisture. Depending on what moisture isreceived over the next month or so,farmers may be wise to considerthe water/yield relationship forvarious crops as they are makingplanting decisions this spring. TheUSDA-Agricultural ResearchService has conducted research ex-ploring the moisture needed toproduce the first bushel of grainand the bushels per inch of mois-ture for various crops. This infor-mation can be highly valuablewhen making cropping decisionswhen moisture is limited. Corn is very efficient in usingwater as it can produce just over10 bushels per additional acreinch, but also requires just overnine inches of water to produce thefirst bushel. Grain sorghum, ormilo, is also relatively efficient in

producing bushels once the initialrequirement is met, at ninebushels per additional acre inch,but takes only 6.5 inches to pro-duce the first bushel. That is whygrain sorghum has historicallybeen a popular crop in marginalrainfall areas. Grain sorghum lostsome popularity in the 1990’s, par-tially due to a volcano eruptionthat resulted in cool summers forseveral years, above average rain-fall during the same period of time(which favored corn production),and improved drought tolerance incorn hybrids. Summer tempera-tures have returned to higher lev-els in more recent years, and theuncertainty of rainfall may bringresurgence in the interest insorghum. Sunflower requires slightlymore water to produce the firstbushel/pound of grain thansorghum at 6.9 inches, and fewerequivalent bushels (6.3) per inch ofadditional water. Sunflower ismarketed on a different price perunit structure than corn andsorghum, so it’s not directly com-parable on a bushel/pound basisregarding yield. Wheat, millet and soybean are

fairly similar in both their waterrequirement to produce initialgrain yield and efficiency inbushels per additional acre inch ofwater. To produce the first unit ofgrain, wheat requires 5.2 inches,millet 3.5 inches, and soybean 3.7inches. With each additional inchof moisture, wheat will produceabout 4.7 bushels, millet 4.2bushels, and soybean 3 bushels.Again, the price per bushel of eachcrop varies, and if one were to eval-uate each crop fairly regardingwater use efficiency, this wouldneed to be taken into account. According to this research, fieldpeas are a remarkable crop in thatthey require less than 1 inch ofwater to produce grain. They canproduce three bushels of grain foreach additional inch of moisture. These numbers are not exactand each crop will perform best ifmoisture is available at the righttime and suffer if it is short at acritical time, like corn at pollina-tion and soybeans at flowering. This information could provevaluable as producers are makingcropping plans while they watchthe skies and weather reports formore precipitation, which will benecessary for a successful growingseason.

Hejoins a team of six other agents,Rusty Olney, Maurice Handcock,Tanner Handcock, Heidi Porch,and Grady and Bernice Crew. Taylor grew up near Parkston ona farm. He graduated from Park-ston High School, and attendedMitchell Technical Institute, grad-uating in 2003 with a Telecommu-nications degree. Mohnen pre- vi-ously worked at Golden WestTelecommunications in Wall andthe Parkston grain elevator as anagronomist. Taylor serves on the Wall Cele-bration Committee and assistswith Wall AAU wrestling. “When Crew Agency approachedme about coming to work for themI jumped at the opportunity,” saidMohnen. “I enjoy getting out visit-ing with farmers and also am ex-cited to get back into the ag com-munity.” Grady Crew, along with his wife,Bernice, established Crew Agencyin 1984 and have expanded thecrop insurance business to includepartners, Rusty Olney, Maurice

Handcock and Tanner Handock aswell as Business Manager HeidiPorch. “We are very proud to bring Tay-lor into our team,” said GradyCrew. “We feel his ag and businessbackground will make him a goodfit working with farmers andranchers in western South Dakota.We know Taylor with his caring,common sense personality will pro-vide great service and knowledge ofthe ever-changing crop insurancerules and regulations.”

Mohnen joins Crew Agency

South Dakota Farm Bureauhosted a meeting Wednesday, April3, in the Wall Community Centermeeting room, about the changesthat are taking place in the agricul-tural land productivity valuationand commodity prices assessments. Michael Houdyshell, director,property and special taxes divisionfrom South Dakota Department ofRevenue, was on hand to informfarmers and ranchers about howtheir land values will now be basedupon its productivity value startingin the 2011 tax payable year. In front of a crowd of about 50people, he stated, “The Departmentof Revenue contracts with the eco-nomics department of SouthDakota State University to producethe “productivity value” or the “for-mula value” for the productivityvaluation system. This value is thestarting point for valuing all agri-cultural land in the state. Thisstarting value is adjusted by thecounty director of equalization toensure uniform and fair valua-tions.” The productivity formula iswhere they begin in figuring thegross revenue per acre. Thisprocess uses an eight-year periodfrom data that was collected by theUnited States Department of Agri-culture’s National AgriculturalStatistics Service to figure thegross revenue per acre in eachcounty. The 2011 tax payable yearwould use values from the year2001 to 2008. With cropland, the productivity

value is established by eachcounty’s information based onUSDA/NASS. According to theSouth Dakota Department of Rev-enue “this price is weighted basedupon the quantity of the commod-ity sold each month during themarketing year; actual productionof each crop is multiplied by thecommodity price for the crop to de-termine the gross revenue for thecrop. The gross revenue of all of thecrops is added together and dividedby the number of acres, to get thegross revenue per acre in thecounty.” The prices also do not in-clude deficiency payments, Com-modity Credit Corporation loansoutstanding, or purchases by thegovernment. Cash rents are used to figure thegross revenue with noncroplandalso using the eight year average.The USDA/NASS determined cashrents in counties across SouthDakota from the years 2001through 2007 by using a survey.They had hoped to have enough re-

sponses to publish the cash rentsfrom every county by 2008, butthey did not get enough responsesfrom every county. They used pastcash rent prices and rent from sur-rounding counties to help establishthe cash rent for the counties with-out a published 2008 number. Lis-teners were told that the depart-ment is currently working to findan alternative to get the cash rentdata. Houdyshell also reminded every-one that “the transition to produc-tivity valuation does not changethe appeal rights of property own-ers. In South Dakota, property can-not be assessed for more than itsmarket value and must be assessedequitably in relation to other prop-erty in the county. If you disagreewith the assessment of your prop-erty, you can appeal the valuationthe same way you would have ap-pealed a valuation based upon themarket.” The farmer or ranchershould first contract the county di-rector of equalization. He or shewill be able to explain the new sys-tem along with showing similarvalued property, and recent sales ofsimilar property. Although the statewide amountof agricultural value in the produc-tivity system is the same as thatfrom the old valuation system, in-dividual counties increase or de-crease significantly, stated the De-partment of Revenue. To preventsudden large shifts in values, andto ensure they had time to addressany unanticipated problems, theLegislature limited increases or de-creases to 10 percent a year.” South Dakota Farm Bureau is agrassroots agriculture organizationrepresenting more than 13,000member families across the state.Founded in 1917, it works to repre-sent, uphold and improve ourstate’s number one industry – agri-culture.

Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) ex-pressed deep concern about the AirForce’s decision to ground B-1BLancer bombers at Ellsworth AirForce Base for the remainder of thefederal fiscal year due to the deepdefense cuts in President Obama’ssequester. In a recent statement, Ellsworthofficials cited that the across-the-board spending cuts have forcedthe Air Force to cut 45,000 traininghours from its operations, ground-ing the aircrafts through Septem-ber. “One of my greatest concernswith the president’s sequester planand its disproportionate cuts to theDepartment of Defense was the im-pact it would have on our military,which is why I have supported leg-islation in the Senate to replace thesequester with smarter cuts else-where in the budget,” said Thune. “I have reached out to Air Forceleadership requesting additionalinformation on this unprecedentedmove and the impact it will have onour combat readiness. The B-1s

and their crews stationed atEllsworth have played a significantrole in the nation's ability to projectpower and have provided vital sup-port in Iraq, Afghanistan, andLibya. The men and women atEllsworth have proven themselvestime and time again as the best wehave to offer and we should be sup-porting them, not making it moredifficult for them to do their jobs.” The Continuing Resolution (H.R.933), which funded the governmentfor the remainder of the 2013 fiscalyear, included the 2013 Depart-ment of Defense appropriationsbill, which restored $10 billion tothe DoD’s operations and mainte-nance budget. Thune is a cosponsorof the Down Payment to ProtectNational Security Act of 2013 (S.263) which would replace the se-quester with a reduction in the fed-eral workforce through attrition.Thune also voted for S. 16, whichwould have given DoD more flexi-bility to make spending cuts with-out hurting military readiness.

Thune expresses concern

over Air Force B-1 plan

The South Dakota Farm Bureaureminds everyone that the deadlineis approaching quickly for the En-vironmental Protection Agency’s oilspill prevention, control and coun-termeasure (SPCC) program,which requires compliance by May10. Rebecca Perrin, EPA Region 8agriculture advisor, Denver,stated, “Although EPA can’t beginenforcement of the SPCC rule forfarms, as defined in the statute,until after October 1, 2013, it is im-portant for farmers to rememberthat the deadline for SPCC compli-ance is still May 10.” According to the United StatesEPA, farms or ranches that storemore than 1,320 total UnitedStates gallons of oil or oil productsin above ground containers sized55 gallons or larger, or more than42,000 gallons in completely buriedcontainers, and could be reason-ably expected to discharge oil towaters of the United States, are re-quired to have an SPCC plan in

place. May 10 is the newlyamended compliance date by whichfarms must prepare or amend andimplement their SPCC plan. If a farm was in operation beforeAugust 16, 2002, and theowners/operators do not alreadyhave a plan, they must prepare andimplement a plan as soon as possi-ble. For more information on com-pliance with the SPCC program,visit http://www.epa.gov/emergen-cies/content/spcc/spcc_ag.htm. “EPA is committed to workingwith the agricultural community tofind efficient and practical solu-tions to environmental challenges,”said Perrin. “Every farm or live-stock operation is required to deter-mine if they need an SPCC plan inplace to reduce the risks, and costs,associated with potential oil spills.EPA is offering assistance to makesure that those who need a plan aretaking appropriate steps to meetthese requirements. We encourageproducers to call us directly withany questions.”

*** Saturday, April 6, 2013, at Som-erset Court, we had a good turnoutfor morning exercises and we re-ceived liberal Somerset bucks forshowing up. A few of us playedquiddler till lunch time, Addie,Mary Lou, Susan and Vivian. Mil-dred Young’s daughter, Carol, tookMildred out shopping and sightsee-ing. Addie Rorvig bought a prettygell well card and let a bunch of usat Somerset Court sign it forEleanor Holmes (Somerset Courtresident) who is in the hospitalwith pneumonia. We had an excellent lunch ofspaghetti and meatballs, and won-derful pound cake for dessert. Susan brought out materials forresidents to make Easter andspringtime wall hangings. A groupof residents gathered around andhad a good time while they createdindividual art work. In the afternoon, we weretreated to the movie “Dances WithWolves.” Some of you will remem-ber this 1990 movie that was allfilmed in South Dakota, some of itat the Houck buffalo ranch north ofPierre. The wide open prairiescenes at the Houck ranch withherds of buffalo were made possibleby my son, David Hansen, and hiscrew who removed miles of fence sothat there could be a greater scopeof hills and valleys. Many of theregular herds of bison were throwntogether for the powerful thunder-ing migration scenes. My son, M.R.Hansen, and workers also helpedprepare scenes. There was onewhere they moved a tree so thelight would be right on “The Girl!”They had to make it look like it hadnever been moved. It involved

spades and wheelbarrows, done bynight so it would be ready to shootin the morning. “Dances With Wolves” is a movieone can see over and over. Therewas some good work done to bringin some actual Lakota language. Itis dear to me, because I had theprivilege of walking right into thesod shanty made for the movie. Youwould swear it was native sod, butit was plastic with plastic grasssticking out. On Saturday, I felt lucky to re-ceive four letters. One from EmeryGibson, who lives at Hansen Courtin Philip, one from my niece, Alma(Hulett) Schilling, Redfield, whosent a sheaf of Rosa Parks com-memorative stamps. Thank you,Alma. Her husband, Harry, is hav-ing his staples removed from hisrecent hernia surgery. My great-granddaughter,Melissa Snively, Gillette, sent anote and a page of tiny darlinghandprints and footprints of mytwo-year-old great, great-grand-daughter, Teagan Snively. Theyare made with finger paint, justcornstarch, food coloring andwater. Thank you. My son, David K. Hansen, Ft.Pierre, sent a wonderful letter writ-ten with a calligraphy pen he hadreceived from Janet. It is so read-able and neat. It happens to be redink. Well, sort of red. Reminds usof the national debt. David even in-cluded some crisp Gregg short-hand, which I could recognize,though I haven’t used any for yearsand years. He said that he hadseen a blue heron. I revel in hisbird sightings. Meadowlarksabound and killdeers are about.Lark buntings like to returnaround the 10th of May. My daughter, Delores Denke,Pavillion, Wyo., sent a lovely cardjust to let us know that she wasglad her brothers, David and M.R.,came out to visit and make fence. On another trial, the SouthDakota School of Mines and Tech-nology concrete airplane was air-borne momentarily. A slightlywindy day would give it a bettertake off. Remember Thomas A.Edison, who realized that goodthings may require many trials? My nephew, Leonard Meyer,Greenfield, Ind., sent an articlefrom the Indianapolis Sunday Starabout Gene Stratton-Porter, one ofmy mother’s favorite authors. GeneStratton-Porter lived for nearly 20years near the Limberlost forestand swamp in northern Indiana.Leonard and his wife, Jean, tookmy niece, Wanda, and me to seeone of the lovely woodsy homes of

Gene Stratton-Porter. It had a wallof windows, lined with luxuriousflowering plants. This author wroteextensively about the area, itswoods, plants, birds, moths andherbs. I have a collection of herbooks including “Laddie,” “Her Fa-ther’s Daughter,” “A Girl of theLimberlost,” “Jesus of the Emer-ald,” and “Tales You Won’t Be-lieve.” Saturday evening, April 8, atSomerset Court, we had a roastturkey dinner with mashed pota-toes and mixed vegetables, saladbar, pineapple upside down cake. Sunday was Lad Burgr’s birth-day. Happy birthday, Lad. Sunday afternoon, we hadchurch with Terry Pulse and hiswife, Ardis. Jack Humke was thereto play piano for hymn singing.Sorry, no talk by Steve. He wasgone to Denver to a wedding. Wesang, “There Shall Be Showers ofBlessings,” “Up From the Grave HeArose,” and a couple others that Ifailed to record. Thank you, Jackand Terry. Those who attendedwere Lucille Huether, Irene McK-night, Marilyn Butts, Don Stens-gaard, Floy Olson, Connie Stevens,Blanche Harmon, Shirley Hudg-son, Annette Hansen, MarjorieGaffin, Irma Brandt, Mary Carrier,and Vivian Hansen. Terry said that the resurrectionblessing is “Peace be with you.” Hesuggests reading John: 20-21 andRev. 21:21-22, describing some ofthe glories of heaven as it isrecorded by ancient historians. M.R. Hansen came for scrabble.Some of the SDSM&T studentshave returned from the regionalconcrete canoe and steel bridgecompetition in Logan, Utah, andthey reported that SDSM&T tookthird place in the steel bridge con-test and second in the concretecanoe contest. Monday, April 8, 2013, we hadcrafts with Amy. Pretty little um-brellas with flowers hanging downwere fashioned by a group of resi-dents. Amy also put out new wordsearch puzzles and rewarded withSomerset bucks to all of us who didlast week’s puzzles. Thank you,Amy. My son, Wayne, arrived back inRapid City April 8. I told him thesnow had been reserved for his ar-rival. (Because we had very littlesnow all winter!) Wayne’s wife,Gwynn, may be back to Rapid Cityin a couple weeks. They like tospend the winter in California.Wayne and M.R. came for supperat Somerset Court Mondayevening. Did I tell you that one of myamaryllis lilies went to seed. I have

sent a few seeds to my daughter,Delores, my great-granddaughter,Melissa, and my son, David. I wasso surprised when the big lumpyseed pods grew after the big redflowers had dried up. Another ad-venture I had with my plants todaywas that a big branch of the kalan-choe plant that Hans gave me, hadbroken part way off. I was trying tosee if I could bind it up, when I sawthat it had started two sets ofwhisker-like roots on the brokenstalk. I broke it off and potted it inwith my basil. It will be interestingto see if those roots will take root. This morning from 3:00 to 5:00a.m.. I started putting together alittle lap robe. It will have five inchsquares. There will be a square oflight blue, a pieced square, asquare of light green, a piecedsquare and so on. There is no newbaby in sight in the family, and Ihave one quilt on hand waiting, butthere is so much fabric, and somany bags of quilt scrapes. Thank you to my nephew,Leonard Meyer, who sent a sweetstory about a doctor who works inAfrica. I printed it off so SomersetCourt residents can read it in thescrapbook on the coffee table by thefireplace. The story brings out theBible verse from Isaiah 65:24. “Be-fore they call, I will answer.” Tuesday, April 9, the big topic ofconversation was the snow. It wasa pretty good little snow. Schoolswere closed, including SDSM&T.Professors were there for studentconsultation, although no classeswere scheduled. At SomersetCourt, Shawn and Sandi weresnowed in at home, so we had somechanges in our program. Geri su-pervised morning exercises andRyan called bingo. My daughter, Carol Vogan,emailed from Colorado Springsthat the wind was blowing 60 milesper hour and the tumble weedswere piling up in the shelterbelt.And to think, it was 72˚ there onMonday. My son, Leslie Hansen, Bend,Ore., sent a friendly letter philoso-phizing on our trade off from say-ing what we think, to getting alongcomfortably. Comfortable winsmost of the time. A new resident at SomersetCourt is Stella Hicks from Martin.We visited and I learned that herson married Janell (Herber) Frink.Janella was my darling first graderat Weta School in 1964. (Weta wasdown in the Badlands. There wasonly the school left there in 1964.Further back, there used to be avillage of Weta, and the train ranthrough there. There was good rockhunting in the Weta “Iron Beds.”) At Tuesday bingo, the prizeswere Somerset Court bucks. Start-ing at $1,000 and going up to$5,000. Winners were LucilleHuether, Connie, Marilyn Oyler,twice, Floy Olson, Helen Amund-son, Fred Smith, and Jim Hilton. Snack and chat treats werepretty little rhubarb-strawberrytarts, crimped like pies. Irene Cox, Mary Lou Peters,Margaret Jacobs, and VivianHansen played rummi-cube. M.R.Hansen came for scrabble. Well there is some pretty deepsnow out in the courtyard at Som-erset Court, looks like a foot ormore! Now I wonder if there is anywater in it? We miss our activity di-rectors who are snowed in athome. Residents are trying toamuse themselves with pool andcards. Marilyn Butts and MargeSelf were joined by Marjorie Gaffinfor three games or so. Mary Lou Pe-ters, Lucille Huether, AddieRorvig, Margaret Jacobs and IreneArbach played or kibitzed a bit of

quiddler. I sewed quilt blocks to-gether and ironed seams. I used mymother’s iron. You know that ironis a little old, for my mother, EffiePalmer, died in 1955. Tony Kulesa, SDSM&T student,who went on the March 2-9,SDSM&T trip to Bogota, ColumbiaSouth America, sent a trip report.I plan to put a copy of the paper inthe Somerset Court scrapbook. Ittells about some of the projects thatmay be organized betweenSDSM&T and villages around Bo-gota, to help out with improve-ments in some of the rural areas.There is need to conserve rainwater. There is need to upgradehousing in some areas. The reportcontains excellent photos to illus-trate possible ideas to work at.M.R. and Barbara Hansen went onthat trip as advisors. By afternoon, on April 10, therewas a lot of thawing going on. Som-erset Court received U.S. mail. I saw Mike Kilmer in SomersetCourt and told him to tell hismother, Maxine, a Somerset Courtresident, “Hi, we miss you!” Maxineis in the hospital. Total snow of this April 9-102013, snowstorm is said to be 19inches at the Rapid City airportand 18 inches in downtown RapidCity. April 10, 2013, an adult couplewith plastic sleds made us some de-lightful tracks on the steep hill onthe undeveloped south side of Som-erset Court. Marilyn Butts andMarge Self saw the people outthere from the overpass on Somer-set Court’s third floor, where wewalk our laps. The Rapid City Journal for April11, 2013, carried the obituary ofRonald Bailie. He recently becamea resident of Somerset Court. Weextend sympathy to Marilyn Bailie,who is still a resident at SomersetCourt, and to their relatives andfriends. Somerset Court Wii bowlingscores for April 11 are as follows:Irene McKnight, 181, Lila Fiest,151, Marge Self, 159, Irene Cox,139, Bert Schneider, 162, MarilynButts, 163, Eileen Tenold, 117,Addie Rorvig, 180, Fred, 150, Mil-dred Kraemer, 156, Mary Lou Pe-ters, 163, and Susan, 198. It is goodto see more residents interested inWii bowling. Thursday bingo winners wereMildred Young, Irene Cox, DwightMann, Alvin Ellerton, MarilynOyler, Irene McKnight, Floy Olson,Sherman Ellerton, and VivianHansen. For snack and chat followingbowling we were served plates ofassorted sliced meats, cheeses, andcrackers. We could also have hotcoffee. Sandi was here to call numbersand Shawn and Susan were here toprovide hospitality, to read cards,and to bring prizes and snacks.Thank you. We missed you on the

snow days. The April 11, 2013, Rapid CityJournal gave us a list of the RapidCity airport’s snowiest days – April9, 2013, 20”, April 22, 2001, 18”,April 18, 1970, 15.6”. This camefrom the National Weather Serv-ice, 1942 to 2013. We like to remember the big bliz-zard of 1949. It may not have hadrecord levels of snow, but it suretied things up over a large part ofwestern South Dakota with spec-tacular drifts. There was a hopefulbit of news in the April 11, 2013,Rapid City Journal, telling that theU.S. Postal Service is to keep thesix-day service. Friday, April 12, 2013, at Somer-set Court, we had the activity ofwheel of fortune. Each team wonbig bucks. Susan, Sandi, andShawn charted up the puzzles,passed the spinner and kept score.Thank you. Some puzzles wereshocking development, weekendweather forecast, Alcatraz Islandand faster than greased lightning. On the evening of April 11, agroup of Red Hatters, “Rockin’Roustabouts” Red Hat SocietyChapter of Rapid City and Dead-wood used the Somerset Court ac-tivity garden for a meeting place.They were busy making eveningbags for an upcoming meeting withother Red Hat Societies. Theythanked Somerset Court for theuse of their meeting place. Thank you to my niece, WandaMeyer Artz, and her husband, Ed,who sent a pretty letter with a se-lection of various stamps, andpretty flowered stationery and en-velopes. It was so cheery on a daywhen everybody was aching withthe low barometer. “Pansies are forThoughts!” says the envelope.When Wanda’s niece, KarenMeyer, Tacoma, Wash., visitedthem for a week recently, they vis-ited relatives and friends. Theywent to De Smet and visited thetree we had planted in year 2000 inhonor of my parents, Rolla andEffie Palmer’s 100th wedding an-niversary. They were marriedthere in the Kingsbury CountyCourthouse on October 30, 1900.The tree, a red maple, is big now. At 3:30, at Somerset Court, wewere entertained by Skeeter Boyerand Alan Biesman with theirsinging and guitar playing. Thankyou. Some songs sang were “Southof the Border,” “Tennessee Waltz,”“Silver Threads and Golden Nee-dles,” “Will the Circle Be Unbro-ken?.” “Clementine,” “King of theRoad,” “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” and“I Come to the Garden.” I heardSandi ask Skeeter to come and singat Somerset Court’s fish fry on May22. Fred Smith plans to spend theweekend in Las Vegas. Have fun,Fred. Rapid City Journal said that thethe recent snows have given usover an inch of water.

Monday arrived with fog anddrizzle, a welcome sight. TonyHarty picked up his mail and wentout for coffee, then stopped at ourplace to give me his news. He letour cat out and the cat door waslocked, so when I got home after arun with the Haakon CountyPrairie Transportation van there

was one wet, cold cat waiting to getin. While I was in Philip, I visitedDean and Mary Parsons. Theevening brought freezing rain,which turned to snow. Most things ground to a stopMonday night with treacherousroads all around. The road crewswere busy clearing away snow andI-90 was closed to traffic due to ac-cidents and blowing snow. Thelocal café didn’t open up for twodays, that meant Bill was at themercy of my cooking breakfast.But, as the day wore on Tuesdayand it was time for cards in Philipout came the four-wheel drive andoff went Bill. He got home andcleared away some of our snow-drifts and the drive with the snow-plow. Bowling was canceled bothTuesday and Wednesday. Not much news this week otherthan the weather – but sometimesthe weather can be the biggesthighlight of the week. The big snowstorm materialized as the weatherfolks predicted Tuesday, April 9 and 10. Enough snow tomake a difference in the soil mois-ture and maybe even the dams.Don and Vi Moody's Rapid Valleyplace received about 15" and it ap-pears the ranch south of Philip gotaround 25" or maybe a little less.The wind blew so hard and put alot of the snow into drifts, so was ahard to tell. Tuesday was the heaviest snowin the Sturgis area and RalphFiedler took Cathy to work becauseof the parking situation. They gotbetween 18 and 20 inches of snow. Don and Vi Moody spent theweek close to home moving snowaround the headquarters to evenget to the mailbox. Vi said it was agood time to get caught up onhousework and other house stuff.She enjoyed her birthday cards andher birthday, close to home, withDon presenting her a fancy cup-cake with a lighted candle andchocolates plus the rest of the dec-orated cupcakes. She vowed shewould share them with Don. Shegot a birthday card from her friend,Raynae, from Alabama – whichstated as you get older you misin-terpret a lot of things such as "youstare at a can of orange juice be-

tique cars for the museum.John married Betty (Fortier)

For many years, the family trav-eled around the United States.John was always on the lookout forantique cars and collectibles to addto the Pioneer Auto collection. In1985, John and Betty returned toMurdo to live. John loved all sortsof entertainment and public exhibi-tions, attending canvas tent cir-cuses and state fairs and concerts.He loved a good meal; any road tripwould be planned around restau-rants that could be visited alongthe way. John had a companionBeagle by his side for the last 35years, the most recent being namedMartin Luther.

In 2002, John and Betty movedto Sioux Falls and later ValleySprings to be near their daughtersand grandsons, and to have accessto advanced medical care. BothJohn and Betty faced a number ofhealth issues in the last decade.Starting in 2009, John wentthrough several rounds of treat-ment for thyroid cancer. After abrief, acute illness in late Decem-ber 2012, John entered the hospitaland then the hospice program atthe Veteran's Administration Hos-pital in Sioux Falls. His family isgrateful for the excellent care hereceived there. He passed away themorning of Monday, April 8, 2013.

Loren and Rose Kiel went toRapid City Monday, April 8, tobegin Rose’s cancer radiation treat-ments at the cancer treatmentwing of the Rapid City RegionalHospital. Knowing the weatherpredictions, they went prepared tostay in a motel. They werestranded two days in the motelwithout any treatments because ofclosure of the cancer center Tues-day and Wednesday. She did re-ceive the first two treatmentsThursday and Friday. She hasbeen scheduled for four treatmentsper week for four weeks. Thestreets and roads had been clearedby Thursday for them to check outof the motel and they were guestsof Rose’s nephew and his wife,Matt and Brenda Pates, at Pied-mont Meadows Thursday nightand during the forenoon Friday.Loren said that the delay in treat-ments and extra expense was wellworth the good moisture we re-ceived. Loren and Rose went to churchservices at First Lutheran ChurchSunday, and stayed in town to con-duct the afternoon worship servicesat the nursing home. Even thoughEaster Sunday is past, they playedsome Easter music with Lorenplaying first the violin and then thetrombone with Rose accompanyinghim on the piano. They were happyto see extra guests attending theworship. They were Gayle Rush,Kay Ainslie, and Esther Knutson.There were eight of the nursinghome residents out for worship. Be-fore going home, Rose stopped in tosee Carrol Foland at her swing-bedroom in the hospital. I wonder how many people re-member John Cowen who home-steaded in township 2N-20E, Sec.30, 120acres and 40 acres in Sec.31, 2N-20E, not to far east of hereabout three miles and a half mileacross country from our place. I livein 2-19 Sec. 17. I remember thefirst time I saw John was when Iwas about 13 or 14 years old andwas spending the summer downhere with relatives and my uncle,Netse Carstensen, took me overthere. We pulled up in front ofwhat looked like a car body buriedin the ground. I was kind of wor-

ried as my uncle got out of thepickup and yelled and a personcame up out of there. He was sortof humped over and when he got allthe way out and straightened up,he was a tall rawboned man withabout a two days growth ofwhiskers. They visited for awhileand then we went back home. Myuncle filled me in about John andsaid he was a very honest and goodman. After I got married and moveddown here, I got to know John a lotbetter. Most people who did notknow him would think he was notto well educated, but when wewould go to Nelse Carstensen’s fora meal, John would at times bethere eating also, as he helpedNelse a lot and would eat there.Anyway, he knew all the kidsaround the country and what theirnames were and the date they wereborn. It amazed me, as he knewhow old Marvin was and what theweather was like the day that hewas born. Through the years, I would meetJohn coming or going into townwith his team and lumber wagonwith whatever supplies he wentafter. At times he would be sittingon the seat and other times hewould be on his knees driving histeam. He broke his horses and nomustang was too tough for him tohandle. I never did see John ride ahorse, he may have but I never sawhim do it. John liked to eat onions and auntEthel’s apple pie. When I would bedown there, my aunt would haveme peel a big onion and at times Iwould say, “This onion is prettystout.” She would say, “Nevermind, John will eat it like an applejust the way it is, with a little salton it.” When he would be atCarstensen’s he was very clean andhad good table manners. Youwould hardly ever see John laugh,but when he did, his eyes wouldtwinkle with delight over a joke orsomething that happened thatamused him. John never went to a doctor. Hedid his own doctoring for things. Hefroze his feet once and uncle Nelse

It’s Monday. The difference be-tween this Monday and last Mon-day is we got that much neededmoisture in the form of snow. Wehad a little rain, but mostly snow.Many schools were closed givingkids a chance to play in the snow.Remember those days of buildingsnow forts, playing fox and goose,and making snow angels in thesnow, and when snow was deepenough, building igloos in thatsnow. It was always quite cozy inthose igloos, away from the coldwind. And don’t forget flying downthe hill on a sled. Going down wasfun, but then you had to pull thesled back up the hill, so you couldgo down again, over and overagain. I remember our kids andkids in the neighborhood sleddingall the way from the Midlandschool hill, on the street in front ofthe Lutheran parsonage to Stuband Edna Joy’s house down byMain Street. At that time, we livednext to that street. That’s one ofthe nice things about living in asmall town. Folks were aware ofkids and their sledding route, sowere on the lookout for them. Thekids would come in rosy cheekedand covered with snow. Afterthey’d taken off their overshoes, Itold them to put their clothes in thebathtub, so the snow could melt be-fore hanging them up to dry. Beforethey were hardly dry they’d puttheir snow clothes back on and offthey’d go. Sure beats sitting in thehouse playing those Nintendogames, don’t you think? Good exer-cise and great fun. Kids made theirown fun. They didn’t feel the needto be entertained. Technology isgood in a way, but in a way it hasmore or less replaced those simple,enjoyable, things in life. Guess I’maging myself, but picture this.What sounds the most fun? Re-membering those fun times playingoutdoors, or remembering thosetimes of staying indoors playingNintendo games? I rest my case.Guess I got off on memory lane fora bit there. Sunday, Jerry and I attended

church and had dinner at a localcafé in Kadoka and got to visitingwith a friendly couple, Bob andDonna Kothe. They spend theirwinters in Texas and were on theirway home to Custer. They askedwhere we were from and when wetold them Midland, they asked ifMidland still had their tumblingteam. We told them they did, buton a much smaller scale, that it isnow grade school kids. Larry Joystarted the tumbling team in 1971,his first year of teaching, and thatfirst year being at the Midlandschool. Many of us remember thetumbling team and what a crowdpleaser they were for many years.Performing at State “B’ tourna-ments and many other functions.Good memories. Living in Custer,they also knew Pee Wee Dennisand his Mountain Music Show. Asmany of you know, Pee Wee, whogrew up in Midland, passed away anumber of years ago, so his show isno longer at Custer. People enjoyedhis mountain music, it was relax-ing and full of fun. Bob and Donnabought the 1880 Town history bookfrom me, and noticed the picture ofPee Wee and his band in the book.When the 14 sided barn was movedfrom south of Draper to 1880 Town,and the cement floor was finishedin the barn, the Hullingers had adance at that barn with Pee Weeand his band playing for the firstdance in that barn and folks enjoy-ing a time of dancing and music.From Kadoka, we headed for WallDrug having their good homemadedoughnuts and something to drink.On the way home, we stopped atthe Silverleaf Assisted Living Cen-ter in Philip having a good visitwith Irene Brink. We have a lot ofgood memories of Irene and herlate husband, Clifford. Jerryhauled gas to their Texaco stationat Okaton for many years. Theyran the post office out of that sta-tion and also had other things tobuy. Clifford liked rocks of all kindsand had many rock items for salein his store. He had a rock polish-ing machine for those rocks. After

they sold that station, they movedto Arizona, enjoying those flea mar-kets and buying more rocks atthose markets. That station is stillat Okaton, but is no longer in busi-ness. They had two tables of cardplayers at the Silverleaf, so we alsohad a bit of a visit with Marie An-derson, Eleanor Kroetch, andBlanche Dolezal, to name a few. Itis a beautiful facility. Vera Nelson,Sadie Rae Hovland, Rae Crowserand Norma Oldenburg, Irene’s sis-ter, were there playing cards withfolks at the Silverleaf, so it was alively group. As we made the drivefrom Kadoka, to Wall, to Philip,and back home it was good to seegreen grass and some green inwheat fields from the snow we hadgotten. When the temperatureswarm up a bit that color green willreally start to take off. Looking for-ward to that. In calling folks for their newsthey didn’t have a whole lot.Their news was being thankful forthe moisture and staying close tohome looking after those babycalves. Chauncey, Wyatt and EmilyTrapp enjoyed spending thoseschool closing days due to weatherwith their dad, Mike Trapp, andtheir grandparents, Jerry and JoyJones. Reminder: The Midland com-munity play “Warren’s Peace” is infull practice and will be at the Mid-land Legion Hall April 26 and 27 at7:00 p.m. and at 2:00 Sunday, the28th. This would be MountainTime. So, come out and supportyour local community play. Due to the Midland play, FatherKevin has changed the schedule forMass on that weekend. Milesvillewill be on Saturday night at 7:30and Midland will be 11:00 Sundaymorning. Sylvia (Root) Huber, Rapid City,is a first time great-grandmother.Her late husband, Leroy, would behappy about the great-grandchild.Their son, Billy Huber, also ofRapid City, is a first time grandpa.Shelly Huber and Billy’s daughter,

Danica, had a baby boy April 9weighing 7 ½ pounds and is namedCarter Cain. Little Carter’s dad isAustin Salsauly and they all live inRapid City. Congratulations toeveryone. Jody Block had thyroid surgerythis Monday at Avera McKinnon inSioux Falls. Reports are that thesurgery went well. I will never for-get the year Jody helped me dospring cleaning at 1880 Town.What a worker. The days werelong, but getting along so well,made it fun. Tired, but having tolaugh, we said the only time we satdown was for our 15 to 20 minutebreak for lunch and riding in thegolf cart back and forth to the laun-dry room for hot water. The townwas squeaky clean when we weredown. Well, I guess that would bea bit of an exaggeration, old build-ings don’t get squeaky clean, but-they were clean, for sure. Wishingyou God’s healing, Jody. Clint and Prerry Saucermanwent to Aurora, Colo., March 25 tospend time with their son, Ty,Emily, Benjamin, Rebekah Saucer-man and son, Talon and ChristiSaucerman for the week. Benjaminand Rebekah didn’t have school fora week as they were on springbreak. So, Clint and Prerry weretaken on a tour to Wings Over theRockies Aerial Museum and TheLego Store with Emily as theirchauffer. Easter Sunday, they en-joyed being able to attend churchservices in which their grandchil-dren, Benjamin and Rebekah, sangin the children’s choir. Emily’s par-ents, Harold and Vera Beneke, en-tertained all of Clint and Prerry’sColorado family for Easter includ-ing their nephew, Jace Evans, whois the son of Jack and Jill Evans.Jace is stationed at Peterson AFBin Colorado Springs, Colo. Clintand Prerry returned home April 1.April 2, they attended the funeralservice for Edna Joy. Later in theday, Prerry and her mom, MarlinEvans, went to Rapid City spend-ing the night at the home of Teland Ellie Saucerman. Early morn-ing on April 3, they were to be at asurgery center as Marlin wasscheduled for knee replacementsurgery. April 8, they headed backto Philip where Marlin was a swingbed patient for further recupera-tion. Mariah (Evans) Heaton visitedher sister and mom, Alaetra andClover, and Jamie and Neil Glennat Interior. From there she visitedher in-laws, Dennis and SandyHeaton, and spent the night.Mariah also visited and spent anight with Prerry and Clint.Mariah and Prerry attended theeducation fair at the MidlandSchool enjoying seeing the tum-bling performance and a dance rou-tine put on by the students. Shestayed at her grandma, Marlin’s,apartment at the Senechal inPhilip visiting her grandma inswing bed and Gaylord Saucermanat the nursing home. Gaylord en-joyed seeing her new little puppy,Anni, a teacup terrier. When Mar-lin was able to go back to her apart-ment, Mariah cared for her, help-ing do things around the apart-ment. Wish you God’s healing asyou recover from your knee sur-gery, Marlin. The Midland School had theirannual education fair and book fairat the school last Thursday. Stu-dents take their moms and dadsand grandparents to the class-rooms, showing what they havedone throughout the year. At theschool gym they put on a program.The older kids, whose teacher isMary Parquet, did a physical edu-cation dance routine with NickiNelson as their advisor. Kinder-gartin through third grade, whoseteacher is Renee Schofield, did aroutine based on the Gang NamStyle type dance that has words togo with it. The Midland student’sperformance was given the nameMusic Vikings Style with Nicki andAshley Schofield, daughter ofRenee, working up the dance rou-tine and words to go with it. Funnyand entertaining. Edna Dale hasworked with the grade school kidsfor a number of years on a tum-bling routine performance for theeducation fair each year. This yearthey ranged from three years old toeighth grade. Folks always enjoytheir performance. Edna was atumbler during her school years, sois doing her part to keep tumblinga part of our school. She was pre-sented with a bouquet of flowers bythe little tumblers for all her time

to work in. School cook AimeeBlock is just plum happy about thewhole thing. We much appreciatethe generosity of those folks whocame and to the family of Ida Huntwho gave a $200 memorial in mem-ory of their mom. You made it allworthwhile. That’s a good thing. As I close my column for an-other week, my thoughts are on thetragedy at the Boston Marathon. Itsaddens me and makes me angrythat someone can take an eventthat pulls people together in a pos-itive way and turn it into a tragedy.Having a son who has run a num-ber of marathons, this bombing be-comes more personal. It’s heart-breaking. On that note, our prayersand thoughts are with those peo-ple, many whose lives are changedforever. Be safe. And thank youLord for the moisture.

and work to keep Midland tum-bling more then a memory. ThanksEdna, for caring. This year,LeeAnna Fitzgerald was Edna’shelper. Jenna Finn and Katie Sam-mons did their part to help. Fromthe sounds of things, the book fairwas a success, as well. The Midland Community Li-brary had their annual soup andsandwich supper the night of theeducation fair.

Greetings from sunny, calm,beautiful northeast HaakonCounty! We still have some mudpuddles and snow banks left fromlast week's storm, and it is wonder-ful to know that the moisture issoaking into the parched soil. Ac-cording to our local weather datacollector, Marge Briggs, we re-ceived 1.42 inches of moisture fromlast week's storm, and every dropwas welcome. It certainly isn'tenough moisture to end thedrought, but it will grow somemuch needed grass. Today is start-ing off clear and bright, but theweather forecast calls for severalinches of snow beginning thisevening, and the snow will be ac-companied by wind. One thingabout April snow – it won't bearound very long. We are expectingtemperatures in the 50s over theweekend. It seems that we havehad more winter weather thisspring than we had all winter long(if that makes any sense). Thankgoodness we didn't get the freezingrain that southeast South Dakotareceived last week. They lost a lotof trees and many were withoutpower for several days. Mythoughts are with them as theycontinue the clean up. My thoughts are also with thosein the Boston area in the wake ofthe bombing Monday. What asenseless tragedy. From my littlecorner of the world, it is difficult tounderstand these acts of terrorism.Do people have so much hate intheir hearts that they are bent oncausing as much pain and sufferingas possible? Why would anyonesubscribe to a religion that encour-ages followers to perpetrate thesetype of acts? That last statement isa little unfair, because at this pointno one has claimed responsibilityfor the bombing, and the investiga-tion is continuing. But the point re-mains, there are so many goodthings people could be doing to helptheir fellow man – why resort todeath and destruction? Maybe allthese hate-filled, radical peopleshould take up gardening – it re-ally does sooth the soul. If theywant to declare war, they can de-clare war on weeds and bugs, andthe end product will be wonderfulveggies and flowers! You know, Imay be on to something. As the blizzard bore down on uslast week, I went into cookingmode. I don't know why it is that Ithink I need to have a bunch of foodprepared – maybe it is in anticipa-tion of a power outage or some-thing. Whatever the reason, thereare now several dozen cookies inthe freezer, ready for the upcomingtimes when I don't have time (or in-clination) to bake. As the snowpiled up, my urge to do springcleaning diminished. When the sunstarts shining again, hopefully theurge will return – I still have lotsto do. But from the look of things,the urge won't show up for the nextfew days. Now that the snow is melting,the grass is beginning to green upand the perennial plants continueto grow. I can't do much in the yardand garden yet, but I have beenbusy taking care of my livestock –a couple of bum calves and a couplebatches of kitties. Tis the season! Ilove spring! Time to get on with the news.News was in rather short supplythis week, because the storm keptmost folks at home. I talked to sev-eral people while gathering thenews, and not one person com-

plained about the snow or mud orcold – they are just all very gratefulfor the moisture. Dick and Gene Hudson went toPierre a week ago Monday to be onhand for medical appointmentsTuesday morning. They were ableto return home Tuesday afternoonbefore the roads got too bad. Theywere in Pierre again this Mondayfor more appointments. Gene saidthere was no church at Deep CreekSunday. Billy and Arlyne Markwed alsohad a quiet week at home. Theywere scheduled to help with an auc-tion sale last week up north, butthe sale was canceled due to snow.Neighbor Lee Briggs stopped by forcoffee and a little visiting Friday. T.J. and Jeanine Gabriel andchildren were in the Caputa areaSunday to attend a bull sale. Duane and Lola Roseth spentmost of the week at home due to thesnow. Lola said she has been get-ting some spring cleaning done –hopefully when the weather getsbetter, she'll have the cleaning ac-complished and be able to get out-side. Congratulations to Duane andLola's son, Thor, on the recent pur-chase of the Belle Fourche Live-stock Exchange. I wish him and hispartner the best of luck with thisnew venture. Laura Hand said that her hus-band, David, continues to recoverfrom his recent heart issues. He iscurrently traveling to Pierre sev-eral times a week to take part in ca-diac rehab. My best wishes go outto Dave as he continues his recov-ery! Kevin Neuhauser said he spentmost of last week watching it snow.His wife, Mary, was at the ranchover the weekend. Frank Halligan was in PierreFriday and took his father, KenHalligan, to Rocky Tibbs' annualdinner at the feed store. Shirleyspent a quiet week at home follow-ing her recent trip to Omaha. Clark and Carmen Allemanspent part of last week snowboundin Rapid City. They were there fora medical procedure, but it was can-celed and rescheduled for thisweek. And now that we have moresnow forecast, the procedure hasbeen rescheduled again! Carmen said that prior to lastweek's snow, she had raked heryard and washed windows, hopingthe activities would cause it to rain.Nothing worked, however, until shetook the snow tires off her car – andthen, of course, we got snow. As forweather-makers, Marge Briggsspent a couple of days watering hergarden spot in preparation forspring planting, so she thought thatmay have prompted some of themoisture. Whatever precipitatedthe precipitation – keep it up! Nels and Dorothy Paulson spenta lot of time last week watching itsnow. Dorothy said they even re-ceived .30 of an inch of rain Sun-day. When the snow was deep,Dorothy had a little trouble makingher way to the shop to feed one ofher cats named King Tut. One day,she made it to the shop, and Nelsgave her a ride back to the house,getting stuck in the process. Thenext day, Nels decided it was prob-ably easier if he fed the cat himself,rather than having to rescueDorothy from the snow! Nels andDorothy's brother-in-law lives inJamestown, N.D., and he has reallybeen dealing with a lot of snow. Hehad foot surgery recently, so he ispretty much house bound. Bill and Polly Bruce had a quietweek at the ranch, spending timemaking rag rugs and working onpuzzles. Sunday, a large feed truckslipped off their road and had to berescued. It made quite a mess of theroad, but thankfully the countystaff came with a maintainer to putthings right. It is wonderful to havea county employee stationed in thecommunity! Monday, Bill and Pollywere in Pierre for appointments. Jon and Connie Johnson and sonNoah were in Parkston Saturday toattend a BB gun match. The localclub did very well, bringing home26 awards – congratulations, kids!Noah Johnson took 1st place aggre-gate in his age group, as did MattieJones.

I enjoy refinishing furniture,something I got hooked on when Iwas 15 and bought an old oakdresser at a great-uncle’s auction.

Some things I’ve learned overthe years include a set of dentalpicks are essential, green scrub-bing pads work as well as steelwool, and enamel paint is the baneof amateur refinishers.

Enamel paint on furniture wasvery popular in the 50s and 60s.The stuff is nearly impenetrable tostripping agents and a heat gunwill soften some of it and thenwhen it gives you end up gougingthe wood. My solution is get some60 grit sandpaper and sand it off.Yes, it does take a fair bit of sand-paper, but it is a lot less frustrat-ing. A lot of the mid-century furni-ture was painted at the factory sopaint will be in the wood’s grain.That can usually be cleaned upwith stripper.

One of my favorite pieces is adresser of that era. Since it waspainted, various types of woodwere used in its construction –walnut, hickory, mahogany, andoak. I applied an oil finish andeach of those woods now shine. Iuse it in my craft room for storage.

If you have a piece of furniturethat you estimate to be 100 yearsold or more, check the drawersides. If there are machined dove-tail joints it was probably madeafter the early 1890s when thedovetail jig was coming into moreprominent use. The dovetails willbe exactly the same when a jig isused. Handmade dovetails willshow slight size differences. Al-though some fine cabinet makersstill did their own dovetails into

the 1900s. Most mass producedfurniture were made with the jigs.A search for aging dovetail jointson the Internet will help you findsamples.

Another indicator of value islooking at the wood in the piece.The secondary wood (wood thatforms drawer sides and bottoms,rails, etc.) is a lesser valued woodthan the main wood. For examplea piece of furniture that has oak asa secondary wood will have some-thing like cherry, walnut, ma-hogany, etc. as the main wood.Other secondary woods includepine, gum, and poplar.

I know older furniture is not foreveryone, but to me, it is so muchbetter built than most of what youfind in stores today. I personallylike the character of older piecesas well. So what if it has a ding, orgouge, or a piece missing. I’m nota big fan of wood putty or trying tofix a missing slice of wood. Theynever seem to quite match for meand standout worse than if thepiece was just left as is. If it isn’tvital to the structure of the piecethen I don’t worry about the piece.

Now for the weather to warm upso I can finish the table I startedworking on last fall, and start onthe dresser with the ooey gooeyvarnish from the turn of the 20thcentury.

"You can't lie about yourage though when your classmatesget together.” Vi had a phone calland fun visiting with LorraineNewman Courtney from Ft. Worth,Texas, Sunday afternoon. Lorrainehas many stories to rememberwhen they lived south and west ofPhilip and also her recent travelsto many countries since they havebecome somewhat retired. It's funto think of these adventures ofplaces and things to do with a littlemore time to enjoy when one feelsthe need for this style of getawayfor a bit of diversion. Wednesday was a clean awaysnow day and Tony Harty foundhis hands could fit a snow shovel.He worked a little and rested a lit-tle, but did manage to get at leastinto his van, then finally around tothe back and could sit in the backto rest. It was a surprise how much snowlay on the ground. Wednesday, theday was a bit milder and Billpushed snow, which was about 18”,a total of around 24” in the twodays. He cleared away some and Ishoveled and we got the skid steerout of the shop and I did some ofthe close up work. Thursday, Brian Koehn camealong and made a path for TonyHarty so he could at least breakfree from being homebound. Tonypicked up his mail and went out todinner, then stopped by our housefor a visit and found the TV on,door open, and nobody was home!A phone call or two found us. Thursday morning early, Billand I were on the road to Philip tosee Dr. Mann about my major jawache then on to Rapid for more ex-tensive dental work. Friday, Tony Harty was enjoyingthe freedom of not being stuck athome. After picking up his mail, hehad breakfast out then attendedthe Kadoka Area play presentingthe “Wizard of Oz” at the audito-rium in the evening. Friday was the 44th wedding an-niversary for Ralph and CathyFiedler. (Congratulations you two.)They went over to Spearfish in theafternoon, did some grocery shop-ping, and then met the Eric Han-son family and Don Klumb andgirls at Lynette’s work place thatnight for a great supper, roses fromthe family, and good conversationwith everyone. Found out thatCaitlin, Tessa and Elsie all madethe honor roll for high and middleschool. The two younger ones aredoing very well in school, too. Aftersome dessert, they all said theirgoodbyes and left Lynette to herjob. Jessica Gittings and Daniel wereat the George Gittings home Satur-day. Jessica, Sandee and Danielhelped George get cattle situatedand pulled a tractor out that was

stuck! Jessica and Daniel had din-ner and supper with George andSandee. Saturday, Tony Harty was happythat Dale Koehn found some timeto clear out his drive. Tony visitedat our place in the afternoon andthat evening attended the grandopening for the new fire hall at In-terior and listened to the music be-fore returning home. Sunday, Tony Harty went tochurch and out for dinner. He hada nice visit with Darrel and Mari-lyn Brooks and Don and DonnaOliver, who stopped for dinner atthe same time. He visited at ourplace in the evening and gave mehis news. Grandson Eric Seager and family

experienced the loss of power dur-ing the storm in Sioux Falls and sixdays of learning how to cope. De-pendence on electricity in all as-pects of our lives isn’t realized untilyou don’t have power. Friday night,they abandoned the house andbegged for a sleepover at the homeof granddaughter Amanda andAdam Claflin in Harrisburg. Theyhad escaped any lengthy poweroutage. How great to have familyin a different power grid! Saturday things were meltingaround here and drying off sincethe snow was cleared away. Con-gratulation to Hogen’s Hardwarein the celebration of 67 years ofbusiness. Bill and I were amongthe many that attended the lunch-eon served and picked up a fewneeded things. Someone com-mented they hadn’t seen so manypeople downtown since the schoolburned in 1950. I think that is a bitof an exaggeration though, but thetown was full. Bill went to Philipin the afternoon and a new refrig-erator was delivered here, our 2001refrigerator needed to be gone anda new one to replace it. Personalservice is almost a thing of the pastand something the older genera-tion really misses. Self-service isfine for those who relish independ-ence, however, to have that specialinterest taken by the business ismuch appreciated by so many. Ithink of Mark Coyle and his “fullservice” station, wonderful! As Isearched to get a refrigerator therewere a great many places that soldthem, some had them priced in therange I wanted and with the thingswe wanted, but it was cash andcarry. Finally, delivery and mer-chandise came together, so whileBill played cards all was taken careof. Sunday, I attended the play atthe auditorium in the afternoon.What a good production with greatsound so you could hear well whatwas being said which made for avery enjoyable experience. I had anice visit with Ardis McCormick.She’s looking forward to workingoutside in her flower bed and gar-den. A journal of Mom’s, RuthFairchild, tells about the snow in1957, that was 56 years ago. Thurs-day, March 28, sheep shearers ar-rived in the evening, March 29,

began shearing about noon, March30, light rain and snow but couldshear about noon (We had a bigsheep shed and when the sheepwere in there they steamed up anddried off quite nicely.); SundayMarch 31, finished shearing thismorning. Shearers moved to Mor-gan’s (Williams). Went to church,got stuck twice. Looked like astorm. Wayne got ready to go toNewell with wool. Monday, April 1,Wayne left and it started to stormabout 10 a.m. Marsha and I (Ruth)got in the sheep and Wayne gothome about 4 p.m. Wednesday,April 3, Nora Olson came homefrom school. We are having a lot ofsnow. Thursday, April 4, snow allday – looks like it could count up.Thursday, April 5, 20 inches ofsnow – Wayne took Nora to school.Postponed YCL at Milesville.

Here in Milesville the snowtotal was 13 inches with one inch ofmoisture. From the sixth until the14th there was an additional .23”.The storm was kind of hard on thenewborn calves, but the moisturewas badly needed. Sounds likemore is on the way. Sunday morning, local kidsheading for Brookings to the StateFFA convention and competitionwere Jade Berry, Casey Reder,Brayden Fitch, Bailey Radway,Bailey Anders and Nick Hamill.They are expected back Tuesdaynight. The PHS drama kids presentedtwo one-act plays Thursday andFriday nights last week.

Kara's

birthday was celebrated a few dayslate. Mark and Judith Radway droveto Spearfish for the weekend forthe Black Hills Stampede. Theirson, Tanner, was a contestant inthe rodeo. They attended churchSaturday night in Sturgis. FatherKari, formerly of Philip, sendsgreetings to all. Milesville School took advan-tage of the snow Friday afternoonwhen they had a sledding party.They had fun on the river hill atJim and Lana Elshere's. At the endof the afternoon, there were manysoaked and tired kids. Jeff and Crystal Schofield andfamily visited Donnie and BobetteSchofield both Saturday and Sun-day. Sunday, Jeff celebrated hisbirthday. Bill and Connie Parsons flew toCalifornia Friday and back homeMonday. They visited with theirson, Brad and Wendy Parsons,Hannah and Preston, Visalia.

Others goingwere Marla Petersen, Brad's sister,of Dazey, N.D., and Wendy's par-ents, Terry and Kay Moore, Vivian,and her sister, Julie, Sioux Falls. Dan and Gayla Piroutek havebeen busy traveling to bull sales,and trying to get the farm auctionsin between the snow storms. Theyguess it is a good problem to have.Down at Corsica, they ran intoClint Neumeister. He is a great-nephew to the Neumeisters wholived many years ago just north ofGolden Vet at Billsburg. He recog-nized the Piroutek name fromMilesville, and enjoyed the visit,but he had never visited theMilesville area. I visited with BobNeville about the Neumeister fam-ily, which included Earl, Gertieand Ella, none of them married.They lived east of where Bob andArlys lived (on the Bodkin place).Bob relates a story Gertie told himabout the time she ran to Philipand it took her only three and one-half hours. Earl and his sisters putstucco on the old Hardingroveschool, which sat where our houseis now. Earl put the stucco on andGertie and Ella would carry thewater to him in pails from our well,running up and down the hill. Idon't believe they ever walked. Atone time, they owned the theatersin Philip and Faith and Bobthought another one, but wasn'tsure where. They moved toSpearfish after retiring. Thanks,

Bob, for your information! Last week, Bart and I were inRapid City helping out at Mike andMelody's. Bailey, Carter and Lan-don rode home with us Friday andspent the weekend with Earl, Jodiand girls. Those helping Leo and JoanPatton cut up hogs Saturday wereGary Stephenson, Kay Ainslie,Cheryl Behrend, the Jim Stangle

Eight seniors from Philip HighSchool’s music program began thisyear’s annual trip to New YorkCity on April 3, by way of Washing-ton, D.C. The crew included Quade Slovek,Gavin Snook, Tara Cantrell, HollyIwan, Sam Huston, Katelyn En-ders, Lakin Boyd and RachelKochersberger, along with musicdirector Barb Bowen and chaper-ones Tina Kochersberger, PatWesterberg and Deb Snook. The group first participated in awalking tour of the monuments inWashington, D.C. After a shortnight, they began the next dayearly with visits to the UnitedStates Capitol and the Smithson-ian Air and Space Museum. They departed Union Center byAmtrak train and arrived at PennStation in time to participate in awalking tour of New York City’sTimes Square. Early the next morning, thePhilip group took a boat tour of theHudson River, followed by a bustour of Lower Manhattan, and fin-ished their day at the AmbassadorTheatre to take in the musical“Chicago.” Morning came early, with thegroup at the NBC Today Show at7:00 a.m. The rest of the morningwas filled with touring the Top ofthe Rock Observation Deck, a bustour of Harlem and Uptown. After-noon began with viewing the musi-cal “Mamma Mia” at Winter Gar-den Theatre. The day concludedwith Fifth Avenue shopping andvisiting Central Park. Sunday was the return home. “I definitely think that this tripwas an amazing experience. Onealways sees all these monumentsand famous buildings on TV or inbooks, but doesn’t realize howamazing they really are until seenin person,” said Slovek. “I have tosay my favorite part of the trip isall the new experiences, like flying,

taking a train, the subway, visitingthe monuments and especially get-ting to see how much New York dif-fers from little Philip, S.D.” “Probably the most moving andmemorable part of the trip was the9-11 Memorial and Saint Paul’sChapel. I loved seeing thosethings,” stated Cantrell. “One thingthat I started noticing after a fewdays there, is there is absolutely noprivacy. There’s people every-where. It was a fun trip.” “Our East Coast trip allowed usto see many memorials. My fa-vorite was the 9-11 Memorial,” saidIwan. “I also loved watching theBroadway shows. Movies cannoteven compare to the shows. We allloved the trip to Washington, D.C.and New York, but by the end of

the day we all missed the dirt roadsof good old South Dakota, and tooka joy ride after arriving home.” “My favorite part of the NewYork trip was the 9-11 Memorial.The feeling I experienced by beingthere was incredible.” said Huston.“My second favorite part was‘Mama Mia.’ The actors are so tal-ented! By going to New York, I re-alized how lucky I am to live in thecommunity I do. New York is fun tovisit, but South Dakota is home!” “My favorite part while we werein Washington, D.C., was getting tosee the World War II (Memorial),”said Enders. “When we were inNew York, my favorite thing wasthe 9-11 Memorial and the SaintPaul’s Chapel. I also liked the show‘Mama Mia.’ Home sweet home.”

sessions provided over the summerat the Philip swimming pool. Uponcompletion of the child’s full partic-ipation in the swimming lessons,the child will earn a free swimmingpass to the Philip pool for the 2013season. This is a combined scholar-ship worth $70 per child. Familiesaccepted into the program will beasked to select the best lesson timeand level for the child. The number of accepted childrendepends on the amount of con-tributed funds available. Pihlajahas seeded an original $1,000 tothe program. “Go back eight years. I lost a

nephew,” said Pihlaja. The youngfamily man, Gary Hovi, was about28 years old and lived in GrandRapids, Minn. He loved to hunt andfish. One day, when he was fishingalone, his small boat was foundempty. Several days later his bodywas found. He had drowned. “Thatis why,” said Pihlaja about hisfounding the Swim for Life pro-gram. The program has strong support.The Philip Charities is chaired byBoyd Waara. The First NationalBank in Philip, through its presi-dent, Ray Smith, is in full supportof the program. Swimming lessonsinstructors, school employees, hos-pital auxiliary members and othershave also offered support. If needed because of a large num-ber of applications, Pihlaja is will-ing to put even more into the origi-nal funding. “We are not going to

let this first one fold. Then we’ll seeif we have that many people inter-ested, then we’ll get fundraisersand donations,” said Pihlaja. He isdetermined that the program willcontinue next year and followingyears. Individuals, businesses and or-ganizations may contribute to theSwim for Life program through thePhilip Charities at the First Na-tional Bank in Philip.

Hand as well as Cade Reeves alsobrought home awards. The 10-11 yearold team took first place in their agegroup. Avery Johnson took the ACTSaturday. Sunday morning, Avery andother FFA students from Philip trav-eled to Brookings to attend the StateFFA Convention. Connie said there wasno school Tuesday or Wednesday atCheyenne School due to the weather,and I think the same was true at DeepCreek School. Max Jones was in Pierre Friday totake part in the free lunch put on byRocky Tibbs at his feed store. Max isstill dealing with quite a cough, butafter two trips to the doctor and severalmedications, he seems to be getting bet-ter. The weather kept Max and Joycehome the rest of the week, and Joycehas enjoyed getting caught up on somereading. Russ and Cindy Sinkey have beenwatching the snow melt. Cindy worksin the Eagle Butte area, and she gotstuck in the snow one day last week.Once again, the county maintainercleared the road, so travel was easierthe next day. Cindy said one of her co-workers lives at Trail City, and they re-ceived 24 inches of snow on top of freez-ing rain over the past few days! Mary Briggs worked from homeTuesday and Wednesday of last weekbecause of the weather. She went toPierre Thursday for work, but the roadswere terrible on the way home due toblowing snow, so she worked from homeagain Friday. It is so nice that she hasthe option of working from home – tech-nology is wonderful! Lee and Mary'sdaughter, Keva, works for the postalservice in the Black Hills, and she de-livered mail every day last week, inspite of the weather. I guess the oldadage is true – the mail must gothrough! We stayed home through last week'ssnowstorm. Our son-in-law, RossTschetter, spent a few days with us,helping move snow, feed livestock,check cattle, etc. The roads were closedbetween here and his home in Salem, sohe stayed a little longer than he had an-ticipated. We were thankful for hishelp! His wife, (our daughter, Jennifer)was working in Winner during thesnowstorm. The restaurants there wereclosed during the storm, so she and herteam had to get a little creative regard-ing meals. Fortunately, they made it tothe grocery store before it closed for sev-eral days, so all was well. Both Jen andRoss made it back to Salem about thesame time Thursday afternoon. Randyand I were in Kadoka Saturday to visitmy mother and to be on hand for the67th anniversary celebration atHogen's Hardware. It was wonderful tosee so many friends and relatives! Wedelivered a vehicle to Pierre and thenreturned home. This week, I am grateful for the mois-ture. It seems like the soil has kind ofplumped up over the past few days, andI hope we continue to receive muchneeded rain or snow. The wet, windyconditions can be a little tough on thenewborn calves, but we just have tokeep a close eye on them. When theweather warms up and the sun shines,hopefully the grass will pop! I hope you will all stay safe duringthis next storm. And while you are at it,take time to do something nice forsomeone. Sometimes even a simplesmile can make someone's day!

Loren and Rose Kiel went to RapidCity Monday, April 8, to begin Rose’scancer radiation treatments at the can-cer treatment wing of the Rapid CityRegional Hospital. Knowing theweather predictions, they went pre-pared to stay in a motel. They werestranded two days in the motel withoutany treatments because of closure of thecancer center Tuesday and Wednesday.She did receive the first two treatmentsThursday and Friday. She has beenscheduled for four treatments per weekfor four weeks. The streets and roadshad been cleared by Thursday for themto check out of the motel and they wereguests of Rose’s nephew and his wife,Matt and Brenda Pates, at PiedmontMeadows Thursday night and duringthe forenoon Friday. Loren said thatthe delay in treatments and extra ex-pense was well worth the good moisturewe received. Loren and Rose went to church serv-ices at First Lutheran Church Sunday,and stayed in town to conduct the after-noon worship services at the nursinghome. Even though Easter Sunday ispast, they played some Easter musicwith Loren playing first the violin andthen the trombone with Rose accompa-nying him on the piano. They werehappy to see extra guests attending theworship. They were Gayle Rush, KayAinslie, and Esther Knutson. Therewere eight of the nursing home resi-dents out for worship. Before goinghome, Rose stopped in to see CarrolFoland at her swing-bed room in thehospital. I wonder how many people remem-ber John Cowen who homesteaded intownship 2N-20E, Sec. 30, 120acres and40 acres in Sec. 31, 2N-20E, not to fareast of here about three miles and ahalf mile across country from our place.I live in 2-19 Sec. 17. I remember thefirst time I saw John was when I wasabout 13 or 14 years old and was spend-

ing the summer down here with rela-tives and my uncle, Netse Carstensen,took me over there. We pulled up infront of what looked like a car bodyburied in the ground. I was kind of wor-ried as my uncle got out of the pickupand yelled and a person came up out ofthere. He was sort of humped over andwhen he got all the way out andstraightened up, he was a tall raw-boned man with about a two daysgrowth of whiskers. They visited forawhile and then we went back home.My uncle filled me in about John andsaid he was a very honest and goodman. After I got married and moved downhere, I got to know John a lot better.Most people who did not know himwould think he was not to well edu-

cated, but when we would go to NelseCarstensen’s for a meal, John would attimes be there eating also, as he helpedNelse a lot and would eat there. Any-way, he knew all the kids around thecountry and what their names were andthe date they were born. It amazed me,as he knew how old Marvin was andwhat the weather was like the day thathe was born. Through the years, I would meetJohn coming or going into town with histeam and lumber wagon with whateversupplies he went after. At times hewould be sitting on the seat and othertimes he would be on his knees drivinghis team. He broke his horses and nomustang was too tough for him to han-dle. I never did see John ride a horse,he may have but I never saw him do it.

John liked to eat onions and auntEthel’s apple pie. When I would bedown there, my aunt would have mepeel a big onion and at times I wouldsay, “This onion is pretty stout.” Shewould say, “Never mind, John will eatit like an apple just the way it is, witha little salt on it.” When he would be atCarstensen’s he was very clean and hadgood table manners. You would hardlyever see John laugh, but when he did,his eyes would twinkle with delightover a joke or something that happenedthat amused him. John never went to a doctor. He didhis own doctoring for things. He frozehis feet once and uncle Nelse did gethim to go into the doctor. I heard a storyabout John getting caught in a blizzardand he stayed with a bunch of cows inthe blizzard to keep from freezing.

He had a sister who came out to seehim at times and she built a house overon his homestead for him that he livedin for several years. As he got older andneeded help, she came and got him andtook him home with her. Mick Mortel-laro has the place and the last I wasover in that area he was using the oldhouse to store feed or cake in. That hasbeen several years ago. Yes, John was a person that will al-ways be remembered as the hermit wholived west of Philip in a dugout and sur-vived the hardships and the hard win-ters and droughts that South Dakotadished out over the years. But of us whoreally took the time to know him, knowdifferent. He was not a hermit, he wasa kind and honest man, and was intel-ligent, like uncle Nelse described himmany years ago when he took me over

with him to visit John. I figured outthat John had to have been about 50years old the first time I met him. It seems we have had between 17 to24 inches of snow, but not able to getmeasured due to the high winds anddrifting. Some large drifts plus much onthe level. I have not heard anyone com-plain as we need all the moisture wecan get. It sure was a nice wet snow. Sunday, April 14, you can see somewater puddles and there is still a lot ofsnow to melt. There seems to be a lotleft on the level ground of the prairieand fields. It’s a good start anyway. Theforecast has promise of more to come, sokeep praying for moisture everyone. Re-member there is a reason for everythingeven if we don’t understand it rightnow.
