She was notedfor her unique design and fabricin her western shirts that shemade for her husband, Arthurand her two boys Dean and Buzz.Frankie was very creative. Sheknitted afghans for all of hergrandchildren. She alwaysseemed to be in the middle ofsome kind of creative project.

After college, she worked forRural Rehabilitation in 1934 and1935. Arthur worked for theBrownfield Ranch as a foremanand wrangler of one of the divi-sions. This is where the legacybegan.

By then, they hadtwo boys, Dean and Gene (Buzz).They lived near Trinchera andTrinidad for the next six years.

In 1949, Frankie once againpacked up her family and movedto the Dupree and Eagle Butte,SD area. Over the years she hadmoved 28 times, with the major-ity moves being in South Dakota.In 1960, Arthur went to work forthe South Dakota Stockgrowersas a Brand Inspector, his first jobwas in Sioux Falls, SD.

Carv Thompson received this let-ter, along with a check, as Chair-man of the Faith New SchoolFund Raising Committee andthought it might be of interest toothers.Dear Carv,

Thank you all for the Decem-bre newsletter. It brings backmemories of my boyhood. I livedon a farm south of Edson with myfolks Ingwald and Anna Olsonand brothers and sisters until Iwas 5. Then, in Augsut 1937 wemoved to Faith and my brotherEnoch and I began high school asfreshmen.

At that time, the drug storewas the Saul and Thompson DrugStore if I am remembering cor-rectly. My father died the verynext month after our move.Robert Saul was the morticianand the service was by Rev. Tor-bert (?) in the Methodist Church.

Mr. Saul even made the simplepine coffin for my father. Hecharged, I think the amount was$65, for his services. In the follow-ing weeks he had me do the rak-ing and burning of the leaves inhis lawn. He left it up to me whatmy charge should be and I cameup with the figure of 17 1/2 centsan hour. I figured that somethingbetween 15¢ and 25¢ would beright.

In 2010, my wife and I and twosisters came to Faith for the Cen-tennial. This August my wife andI and two grandchildren stoppedfor the day, visited with Ted Ims-land.

Congratulations to all of youon the new Faith High Schoolbuilding.

Sincerely, Norman OlsonPlymouth, MN

Legislative UpdateRep. Betty Olson

Gov. Daugaard has appointedLarry D. Zimmerman to serve asthe first Secretary of Veterans Af-fairs. Zimmerman was confirmedby the Senate on January 15,2013 and will service over 70,000Veterans in SD. He served 29years in the South Dakota Na-tional Guard before retiring inJanuary. Zimmerman completeda tour in Afghanistan (OEF) asthe Operations SGM for the nineNorthern provinces in that coun-try and has received manyawards and decorations duringhis career including a BronzeStar, Meritorious Service Medal,Army Good Conduct Medal, andGlobal War on Terrorism ServiceMedal.

Friday was the eighth day ofthe 2013 legislative session andthe pace is starting to pick up.228 bills have been filed so far,118 in the House and 111 in theSenate, and several more bills arebeing circulated. Wednesday,January 23 is the last day for un-limited bill introduction and Jan-uary 28 is the deadline for alegislator to file their final threeindividual bills and joint resolu-tions.

So far all the bills we’ve dealtwith in the House were agencyand summer study committeebills. The governor’s Red Tape Re-view brought us a lot of cleanupbills that have repealed thou-sands of antiquated and unneces-sary words from state statutes.

Sen. Maher, Rep. Schrempp,and I served on the Oil and GasDevelopment Committee thissummer and four of the bills thatcame out of that committeepassed the House this week:

*The oil and gas developmentbill that I carried, HB 1001 to re-quire mineral developers to givenotice to surface owners beforeentering the land, came beforethe Agriculture and Natural Re-sources Committee Tuesday.DENR brought a friendly amend-ment to clarify the mineral devel-opment as surface disturbingactivities which include well siteconstruction, road building, grad-ing, excavation, demolition, andrelated activities. Both theamendment and the bill passedunanimously and it was put onthe consent calendar. HB 1001passed the House without a sin-gle dissenting vote on Thursdayand has been sent on to SenateAg.

*HB 1003 to provide for medi-ation between mineral developersand surface owners in certain dis-putes over surface depredationand to provide for mediation ofmineral fee disputes was passedafter being Hoghoused in AgCommittee on Thursday.

*HB 1004 to provide for theaward of treble damages in cer-tain surface depredation cases isscheduled to come before Ag onTuesday.

*HB 1006 to revise certain pro-

visions relating to the termina-tion of certain mineral interestsalso passed out of Ag CommitteeTuesday and the House on Thurs-day and will go on to Senate Ag.There may be some unintendedconsequences to this bill, so theremay be some amendments com-ing.

Iím the prime sponsor of an-other bill that came about be-cause of testimony sheepproducers in this district gave be-fore the Oil and Gas Committee.HB 1083 will reestablish sheeprustling as a class four felony.Statute 22-30A-17 says the theftof cattle, horses, mules, buffalo, orcaptive non-domestic elk isrustling. Evidently sheep were in-cluded in that statute at one timeand HB 1083 will merely put thetheft of sheep and goats back intothe law. HB 1083 has been sent tothe House Agriculture and Natu-ral Resources Committee.

On a personal note, Rep. LanceCarson from Mitchell missed thefirst week of session because hewas in the hospital with heartproblems. He showed up thisTuesday wearing a battery packthat keeps his heart beating andhe is number 3 on the A negativetransplant list to get a heart.Please keep my friend Lance inyour prayers.

I’ll have more to report nextweek after we begin taking uplegislators’ bills. If you want toget in touch with me, you can callme at the House Chamber num-ber 773-3851. Leave a phonenumber and I’ll call you back. Thefax number is 773-6806. If yousend a fax, address it to Rep.Betty Olson. You can also emailme at [email protected] session.

Who says at age 81 it’s too lateto publish your first book? Don’ttell Ellen Simon, because she didjust that! She started 2013 witha bang publishing her book enti-tled, “Simply Simon: Poems onCowboys, Kinfolk, and Life fromMama’s View.” It is filled with agreat selection of her lifework ofpoetry she has written in herunique rhyming style.

I first heard Simon recite oneof her signature poems and fit-tingly the first one in her book, “ACowboy’s Knife” at a HendersonCommunity Days event and dis-covered her entertaining wit andwisdom that brought tears oflaughter. With the help and en-couragement of her niece, BrendaHadenfeldt, and her husband whoboth work as editors in Boulder,Colorado, Simon was able to self-publish her work.

“It was something I alwayswanted to do but it seemed to beone of those foolish things that

would never happen, ” saidSimon. She credits her niece fororganizing, editing, titling and se-lecting which poems should gointo the book. They printed 150books and Simon is selling themmainly by word of mouth for $15each.Simon has called Henderson herhome for the past 18 years whenshe moved here after her husbanddied to be near her daughter BarbReetz. Previously she and herhusband had lived in the westernpart of Nebraska and SouthDakota where he worked as acowboy on ranches. The firstchapter of her collection is enti-tled “Home on the Range” and re-flects life on the ranch.

She started writing poemswhen she was in high school andhas never really stopped writing.It was while she was writing a so-cial column for a weekly newspa-per in South Dakota that herpoetry writing skills were discov-ered. One week when she wasgoing to be gone and didn’t haveany current material for an arti-cle, she instead submitted a fic-tional Christmas poem aboutwhat she thought her neighborsmight be doing. “I guess it wasmy first mistake,” said Simon.From then on, everybody beganasking her to write poems forbirthdays, anniversaries, retire-ments and all sorts of life events.

If you are interested in pur-chasing one of Simon’s books, youcan email her [email protected].

With colder temperaturesoften come runny noses, sorethroats and unfortunately, theflu. Families across South Dakotawho are trying to get back into anormal routine following the hol-idays may not have taken thetime to ensure that kids and par-ents alike are vaccinated for theflu this season.

This week, South Dakota wasmoved into the “widespread” fluclassification by the U.S. Centerfor Disease Control and Preven-tion (CDC), leading hospitals andbusinesses to take extra precau-tions. In total, eleven SouthDakotans have died from the fluand the state has reported almost600 cases of flu so far this season.

It’s time to take the flu seri-ously. I encourage all SouthDakotans to not only get vacci-nated, but to stay home fromwork or school if you have symp-toms, such as a cough or fever.The typical incubation period forthe flu is an average of two daysand adults can be infectious for a

week, starting with the day be-fore symptoms began. Childrencan be contagious for even longer.

Flu vaccines protect individu-als from the three flu strains pre-dicted to be most popular thatseason. While the vaccine is stillthe best way to prevent the flu,antiviral drugs can also be astrong line of defense, as well ascommon sense health habits, suchas covering a cough and consis-tent hand-washing. South Dakotahas the highest vaccination ratein the country – with over half ofour population receiving the vac-cine during the 2011-2012 flu sea-son! In fact, South Dakotareceived the Adult ImmunizationCoverage Award from the CDC in2012.

I encourage South Dakotans tolook at information provided bythe South Dakota Department ofHealth or contact a local healthcare provider if you have any ad-ditional questions or concerns re-garding the flu vaccine.

This morning I was using theinternet to look up recipes forthings I could make in a class-room without an oven. I wantsome of my young Talented andGifted students (TAG) to measureand actually make something. Ityped in free recipes for children.I scrolled down the list of possibil-ities to find EIGHT, yes, 8,recipes for making Meth! Oh, mystars and garters! I think we’llstick with instant pudding! I re-ally wanted to look at one of theMeth recipes just cause I don’tknow what goes in it but I figuredsomeone would come check mycomputer and arrest me. Whatpops up on the Internet can bedownright scary. I rememberwhen the toothpaste ad about“sex appeal” was a little risqué.Boy, not any more. Billy bar thedoor…..you name it, it’s on TV,the Internet and video games. Toparaphrase a woman I know,“You can buy Meth, marijuana, oroxycodone in many small townsbut you can’t buy socks or under-wear.” Out of curiosity, I typed in“Homemade bombs” and came upwith 7, 510,000 results. Yep, Ithink we’re gonna stop all the vi-olence if we take away people’sguns. What all will we have tohave under government control tostop mass killings? Gas, ammo-nia, fertilizer, acetone. pool sani-tizer just to name a few. To stopmass killings we need somemorals, a belief in God and a com-munity and government that en-force some morals instead ofallowing anything and everythingin and on the media. I’m sorry,but are your rights to filth anymore important than my rights togoodness and morality? Where dowe draw the line?

fall weather last week. Tempera-tures were mostly in the 40s, witha few 50s thrown in. We had a lit-tle rain Saturday evening andSunday morning, but not a lot.Anything is welcome! It is sup-posed to stay about the same thisweek, until the weekend, thendown to the 20s and 30s.

President Obama will be lead-ing our nation for another 4 yearsfollowing November 6th’s elec-tion. Mitt Romney carried SouthDakota, but President Obamacarried the nation, receiving 303electoral votes to Romney’s 206.Romney received 57.9% of thevotes in South Dakota to Obama’s39.9%. In the state election,Amendment M (provisions relat-ing to corporations) was defeatedstatewide; Amendment N (travelreimbursements for legislators)remains the same; Amendment O(distribution of cement planttrust fund) passed; and Amend-ment P (balanced budget) alsopassed by a wide margin. Initi-ated Measure 15 (to increasestate general sales and use tax tofund education and Medicare)went down to defeat, 56.72% to43.28%. Referred Law 14 (LargeProject DevelopmentFund) wasalso defeated, and voters didn’tlike Referred Law 16 (teachermerit bonuses) either.

We had some pretty niceweather the first week, until theweekend then we got down in the20s and 30s. Friday was a foggyday, and windy, so it felt muchcolder than 30º. Saturday was acold, windy, snowy day. I’d say wereceived around 4” or more of thewhite stuff. It wasn’t a very goodday for the opening of deer hunt-ing season!

We had some gorgeousweather the end of last week,more like fall than winter, reach-ing the mid 40s to low 50s. Butthe weekend cooled off, droppingto the single digits, and windchills in the minuses. We woke toa little snow Sunday morning andagain Monday morning.

Dave and Eldora Fischbachspent several days at their housein Rapid City last week. Theyboth had appointments to takecare of.

Received an email from MarieDeKnikker: It was an awesome80th birthday celebration, whichstarted in June when Albert andMarie DeKnikker celebratedtheir 60th wedding anniversaryand combined 80th birthdays. Al-bert’s birthday was in July andMarie’s Jan. 19th! Enjoying themany birthday cards and lettersthat arrived from family andfriends, a visit from neighborJeanie Elliott and phone callsfrom SD and Alaska, one of whichwas from Marie’s neighbor, LarryFrank, who is in Alaska helpingcelebrate his grandson’s firstbirthday! Over 30 Facebook mes-sages came in from family,friends and former students span-ning from California, Costa Ricato New Hampshire. All were soenjoyed! Several made her smileand feel very humble.

Yea 49ers!! What an excitinggame Saturday night. The Ninerswere down 17 points in the secondquarter and came back to beat theFalcons by 4 points to go to theSuper Bowl. It was a nail biter tothe end. I hope they have thesame luck in the Super Bowl, ex-cept for being behind to begin

with. It will be a much betterSuper Bowl than with the Pack-ers! That’s my opinion!

The girls Little Moreau Con-ference Tournament was held atLemmon last week. The girls de-feated Harding County in thefirst round Thursday night buthad some tough luck Friday nightagainst Lemmon.

Theywill be hosting Takini next Thurs-day night, the 31st.

Greetings from Pierre, we havejust finished our second week ofthe 88th Legislative Session. I amproud of the fact that we serve ascitizen lawmakers and take greatpride in our accessibility to all ofyou as constituents in our dis-trict. This is my seventh sessionand the start of my fourth andfinal term as your Senator forDistrict 28. Over the next twoyears I will be serving on the Sen-ate Education Committee, theSenate Commerce Committeeand I will be the chairman of theSenate Tax Committee. I will alsoserve as a Major Whip to the Re-publican Caucus.

This past week the Senate con-firmed the appointment of LarryD. Zimmerman to Secretary of

Veterans Affairs. Secretary Zim-merman will service over 70,000Veterans in South Dakota. As aveteran himself, he served 29years in the South Dakota Na-tional Guard, where included inhis service, he completed a tour ofduty in Afghanistan (OEF) as theOperations SGM for the nineNorthern provinces in that coun-try. He has received many awardsand decorations during his careerincluding a Bronze Star, Merito-rious Service Medal, Army GoodConduct Medal, and Global Waron Terrorism Service Medal be-fore retiring in January of 2013.Secretary Zimmerman will bevery responsive to our veteransneeds as they come home andreintegrate into our state, be-

cause he has been in the same po-sition, and he will help take careof their needs.

Many bills are in the draftingprocess and many ideas are start-ing to float though the capitol,some have merit while many oth-ers will never see the light of day.Bill filing has been slow but thisis due to the huge turnover wehave seen in the legislative body.

Current LegislationPublic Safety Improvement

Act – Senate Bill 70 has passedthe State Affairs Committee 8 – 0vote and will be heard on the Sen-ate Floor this next week.

•This Bill is an Act to hold of-fenders more accountable fortheir actions, improve publicsafety, and create the capacityneeded for the supervision of of-fenders with the community

We have a duty to give peoplethe opportunity to help folks stayor become productive members ofsociety.

•1 out of 4 inmates in SD arein prison for a parole violationand 80% of our prison inmateswere convicted of non-violentcrimes.

•This will save taxpayers$224million that would have beenspent on building two new prisonsto meet the growing number ofprisoners in South Dakota

•The goal is to bend the costcurve or slow down the dramaticcost increase in the prison sys-tem.

Special Education fundingBill – Senate Bill 15 – will beheard in Senate Education:

• Makes changes to the crite-ria for a school to be eligible, andfor school districts to apply forfunding from ECP and then seeksto maintain integrity of this fundfor extraordinary cost instead ofbecoming an excess cost fund.

• Seeks to clarify the processfor the setting of levies and main-tenance of the state and localfunding for the formula and seeksa new maximum levy and local ef-

Sen. Ryan Maher’s Legislative Report

fort levy for the special educationfund.

Higher Education Bills –Senate Bills 3, 4, and 5. Thispast week, we also addressedthree higher education bills incommittee. Just as we are tryingto spend smarter in corrections,Senate Bills 3, 4, and 5 are part ofa package to help us do so inhigher education. This package ofbills will report how people areperforming on licensing and cer-tification exams, it will help usdetermine job placements forgraduates of post-secondary edu-cation institutions in SouthDakota, and it will establish thePublic Purpose and Goals of post-secondary education. This pack-age of education legislation willhelp provide guidance for ourhigher institutions of learning bymeasuring outcomes and adapt-ing to the needs of our students ineducation as we prepare them forthe job market.

Senate Bill 3 - requires the re-porting of the outcomes of certainlicensure and certification exams.

Senate Bill 4• is an act to re-quire the Department of Laborand Regulation to determine cer-tain job placements for graduatesof all public postsecondary educa-tion institutions in the State ofSouth Dakota.

I have a few issues with thisbill only because the governmentwill now be tracking our studentsfrom the time they graduate untilwhenever they see fit. The De-partment of Labor will collect theinformation from the unemploy-ment insurance forms that aresubmitted by every employer inthe state. Then this informationwill be sent back to the Universi-ties and they will then cross ref-erence this data with their data.This will allow big brother to seewhat you are making, what yourwork is, and how does this workrelate to the degree you received,along with a whole host of otherdata.

email us [email protected]

Senate Bill 5 is an act to es-tablish the public purpose andgoals of postsecondary educationand to provide funding of postsec-ondary education. This bill alsocreates the Council on Higher Ed-ucation Policy Goals, Perform-ance, and Accountability.

Reigning in GovernmentSB 40 was an act to require

certain receipts of delivery tograin elevators be kept and to es-tablish certain penalties for over-weight vehicles and trailers.

• Each grain elevator shallmake and maintain for at leastone year, a receipt for each deliv-ery, that shall contain the follow-ing information:

• Date and time of delivery,truck weight gross and net, li-cense plate number or other iden-tifying number of the vehicleincluding the trailer, number ofaxles, and the names of the ownerand operator. This bill was sentto the 41st day killing the bill.

SB 50 was an Act to authorizethe Department of Revenue toprovide certain lists to other stateagencies.

• This bill would have allowedthe Department of Revenue toshare lists of taxpayers, licensees,or applicants, with other stategovernment agencies if the headof the other state governmentagency requests the information.

• Any list provided by this lawcould have been used to the ex-tent necessary to carry out the of-ficial duties of the requestingstate agency. This bill was sent tothe 41st day killing the bill.

Please keep in touch on the is-sues and feel free to contact me at(605) 850-3598 or at my legisla-tive email [email protected] personal email address [email protected].

Harold DelbridgeHarold Dean Delbridge was

born and raised in the Howesarea. He married Karen Smith onJanuary 16, 1966, and they wentto work for the Bar VO ranch atQuinn. In the fall of 1967,Karen’s father needed help on hisranch so they moved there to helphim. After her father passedaway in 1968, her brothers tookover the operation of the ranchand Harold and Karen moved tohis grandfather Kellog’s placesouth of Union Center, wherethey ranched for the next eightyears.

Harold left the ranch in 1976 toattend Bible College in Cleve-land, Tenn. He studied thereuntil 1979. At that time theymoved to Coal Springs and beganpastoring a church there. Thiswas Harold’s first pastorate andthey were there until 1985 whenthey moved from Coal Springs tothe Prairie Bible CommunityChurch where he pastored for 23years. Three years ago he startedthe Stoneville Country Churchwhere he is still pastoring.Harold has also pastored the ElmSprings Community Churchsince 1987.

Harold started rodeo announc-ing and auctioneering in 1983.Dave Lensegrav encouraged himto go to auctioneer school at Bis-marck, N.D., where Truman Kon-sile had the River Basin AuctionSchool, an auctioneering androdeo announcing college. Haroldand Les Lensegrav went to thatschool. When they came backthey started the Open MeadowAuction Service which they oper-ated for 13 years. In 1984, theFaith Stock Show contractedHarold to announce their rodeo.That was the rodeo that TrumanKonsile had announced for years,and he said, “Isn’t that life, youtrain somebody and they takeyour job”. Harold announcedFaith Stock Show for 24 years.His favorite part of announcingrodeos was encouraging theyoung people in the sport. In theyear 2000, Harold and Karen hadthe opportunity to go to the Na-tional Finals Rodeo and had thepleasure of watching the finalperformance. In the saddle broncevent there were four young cow-

boys that Harold had watchedgrow up. That was a very satisfy-ing experience for him. Haroldsaid, “The greatest fun I had wasyoung people’s rodeos. Encourag-ing the young cowboys and cow-girls.”

Harold and Karen have lived atRed Owl for the past 18 years.Since 1979, Harold has had a fulltime ministry. In his spare time

he day works for ranchers in thearea. He says this has been a bet-ter ministry than the pulpit. Ithas afforded him the opportunityto minister at weddings and fu-nerals. Being a minister in therodeo announcing field, watchingthe cowboys and cowgirls growup, has led to many weddings.

In reminiscing, Harold tells ofa wedding he was to perform.

When he arrived to perform thewedding, the bride had forgottento bring the marriage license.When Harold asked her what sheplanned to do about that, she toldhim that they would be at therodeo next week. They could goahead with the wedding todayand then they would bring themarriage license and their wit-nesses and get it signed at the

rodeo, one week later. Things likethat only happen in cowboy coun-try.

One of the most challengingpoints in Harold’s life was whilehe was pastoring at Coal Springs.He went there in June, and in Au-gust performed his first wedding.Two years later he had to burythat couple’s 18 month-old-Continued on next page

PioneersContinued from previous pagedaughter. He said, “It lets youknow the power of God, how youget through some of those deals.”

Harold is an active member inseveral organizations in the area.The Catalyst Club in Rapid City,South Dakota Stock Growers,South Dakota Farm Bureau, Fel-lowship of Christian Cowboys,and Central Meade County Com-munity Center Board.

Harold had a funny story to tellon himself. He was co-announcerat the South Dakota Rodeo Finalsin Sioux Falls. His job was to plugthe sponsors while horseback inthe arena. A bareback rider hadjust completed his ride, so Haroldrode in to announce the sponsor ofthe bareback riding and the bronccame alongside Harold’s horseand started bucking. In trying topull his horse up, hang on to themicrophone, and juggle a handfulof papers, things got away fromhim. Papers all over the arenafloor. The audience loved it andhave probably never forgot it, andthe other announcer had a bigtime with it. But, like Harold said,at least he didn’t fall off.

Having retired from his rodeoannouncing career, Harold looksback on a couple highlights of thatcareer. One was when the WallRegional High School Rodeo Clubgave him a belt buckle when heretired after announcing theirrodeo for 23 years. Another waswhen the Faith Stock Show alsogave him a buckle after 24 yearsof announcing their rodeo. Haroldsaid, “It really lets you know howmuch people appreciate yourwork.”

Harold and Karen have fourchildren, two boys and two girls,and 12 grandchildren. Arlen,Black Hawk, Chad, Cheyenne,Wyo., Amanda, Anchorage,Alaska; and daughter, Candace,Thunder Butte.

In looking to the future, Haroldsaid that in his ministry he wantsto prepare people for the lifeahead. By that, he means hewants them to come to know thepower of God and the relationshipthey can have with Him.

When we look back over theyears at Harold’s reputation, itshow us that he has given aboveand beyond of himself, assistingspiritually and physically, a largenumber of families in our end ofthe state. I got the feeling fromjust visiting with Harold, that tobe ministering to and workingwith the children and grandchil-dren of those parents he minis-tered to and worked with yearsago, gives him a real feeling ofthankfulness and satisfaction. Inall fairness to Harold, I must tellyou that in this short presentationit is not possible for me to paint acomplete picture of his accom-plishments. But for just a normallooking cowboy, he has sure madean impression in our communi-ties.
