Tressa Gabriel, age 90, ofPhilip, died Tuesday, January 1,

013, at the Hans P. PetersonMemorial Hospital in Philip.

Tressa Belle Coleman wasorn October 24, 1922, in Wood-ine, Iowa, the daughter of Orrin

Wesley and Goldia BelleThomas) Coleman. She lived

near Pisgah, Iowa with her par-

nts and older sister Erma, untilhey left their home in the Loess

Hills to move to Haakon CountyNorthwest of Philip, SouthDakota, at the age of eight years.They traveled at 45 mph in theModel T Ford while their per-onal belongings and livestock

were shipped to Cottonwood,South Dakota, on the train.Here on the farm, she helped milkows, herd sheep, with choresaising hogs and gardening. Her

mother taught her to preservevegetables and to prepare whole-ome meals.

Tressa attained an eighthgrade education at North LincolnSchool. Being too far to walk, theyode horseback when the weather

permitted. In cold, snowy weatherTressa had a room and boarded atAxel Olsons.

An experience she and Ermaalked about often, was Ermaaking a rein from her horses bri-

dle to kill a rattlesnake while shewas on the horse something shedid often. One time, the snakeaught in the rein hooks, and the

horses spooked and ran full speedhome with the snake flying in theair behind.

Tressa met her lifetime part-ner when Floyd Gabriel arrivedat her parents to purchase some

hay. Floyd and Tressa developeda companionship that lasted alifetime. Colemans were con-cerned about Tressa and Floyddating. For them to go anywhere,it was necessary to take Ermaand Frank, (Floyds brother),along as chaperones.

Tressa and Floyd were marriedMarch 17, 1941, in Philip. Theywent to Iowa and Nebraska tovisit relatives for a honeymoon.Quote of Floyds taken fromTressas Brides Book. We gothome in fine shape and foundeverything was o.k. We were a lit-tle wiser but just as foolish andwished our honeymoon to con-tinue indefinitely.

This marriage was truly madein Heaven. They were businesspartners as well. At first theysummered sheep for neighbors aswell as themselves on land forwhich they borrowed money topurchase. When Floyd was awayhelping neighbors whose familymember was serving in the war,Tressa was responsible for theirbusiness. After Beverly was born,Tressa loaded her on the saddleand took her to tend the sheep allday long. Their only rest was anap in the shade of the sheepwagon while the sheep beddeddown by water during the heat ofthe day.

When Tressa was in late preg-nancy with Larry, Mom, leading

Beverly, took a sheep buyer toview the herd. He told Floyd Youwant too much for your sheep, butI feel sorry for your wife so Illgive you what you want.

Cattle replaced the sheep intheir business. Tressa still rodehorseback. Dixie her mare, wasstill very important in her life.

In addition to Beverly and

Larry, a sister Ruby brightenedTressas life. In 1981, Floyd,Tressa and Ruby began travelingthe U.S. Tressa enjoyed continuedtrips, collecting state plates andshot glasses while seeing most ofthe continental U.S. and part ofCanada. Tressa became an excel-lent map reader, instructingRuby where to turn. Branson,Missouri was the highlight of hertrips.

She was active in the DowlingCommunity Church where shewas baptized. She was treasurerfor many years.

Tressas hobbies include play-ing the piano, which was pur-chased in 1956 to replace thepump organ which she played byear. She also played the violin,embroidered, scrapbooked herchildrens activities and trips, andenjoyed reading historical fiction.

Leaving to mourn her loss, are

her three children BeverlyHamann and her husband Herbof Clear Lake, Larry Gabriel andhis wife Charlotte of Quinn, andRuby Gabriel of Pedro; a doubleniece Cindy Nuzum of Buffalo;four grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.

Tressa was preceded in deathby her husband Floyd on Febru-ary 5, 1998, her parents, her onlysibling Erma Gabriel, and twogreat-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held one hourpreceding the services at thechurch on Monday.

Funeral services were heldMonday, January 7, 2013, at theUnited Methodist Church inWall, with Pastor Harold Del-

bridge officiating.Interment followed at the WallCemetery.

A memorial has been estab-lished.

Arrangements were with theRush Funeral Chapel of Wall.

Drought worsens - June 2012

considered among Top Ten Worstin 100 years. Continued dry andwarm conditions have continuedto worsen conditions in SouthDakota, nearly all the Corn Belt,as well as much of the nation saysDennis Todey, SDSU ExtensionState Climatologist in his July 13drought summery.

The hot weather this monthcontinues here in the Faith area,and throughout the state. We hada couple days last week that itreached 100 or more. These hottemperatures have certainlydried up the pasture grasses andcreate high fire danger. A few ofthe ranchers are selling off part oftheir herds because of little grassto feed. Another storm moved

through the area this past Mon-day night. We didnt get muchhere in town, but the north partof the country got hail and up to3 in some areas.

Marcus NewsBy Vicky Waterland

We had a lovely weekendwatching basketball. Saturdaymorning we drove to Spearfish by9:30 A.M. to watch daughter Jillsson, Daniel, play a game of bas-

ketball. Our trip then continuedto Buffalo to watch the Longhornstake on the Harding CountyRanchers. Folks, if you missedthe boys A team playing theRanchers you missed the game ofthe season! Despite the fact thatsome of our A team starters weresick, we stayed with the Buffaloteam which had not lost a gameup till they meet the Longhorns.Faith ended up winning by onepoint in a down to the last secondgame. The boys of the B teamsubbed in and really pulled it outof the hat. Im predicting the Bteam will come on and be theteam to watch in coming seasons.Senior Reggie Rhoden was a keyplayer who got in there and

fought for the ball, besides mak-ing those free throws that reallycounted! Sophmores Josh Afdahl,Dalton Sheridan, Jarius Halli-gan, Rio Hulm and Glenn Palmermade a difference when theycame in. It was a thriller! I alsowanted to compliment CodyTrainor on the good sportsman-ship he displayed when he took asecond to shake hands with #20Harley Mollman when Mollmanfouled out of the game. Guys, its

just a game but gestures like thatlast a lifetime! I was so pleased tosee it. Congratulations to all the

FHS moms and dads on suchgreat young men. They representour town ! Thanks boys!

Speaking of the moms anddads, Faith had more fans at the

game than Buffalo did! I saw lotsof grandmas, grandpas, aunts,uncles, cousins, siblings and die-hard fans there. What a wonder-ful following of people. I havewondered if this comes from themany years Faith did not have aschool bus to transport studentsand the parents did all the trans-portation? I graduated in 1971and there was no bus. What wasthe first year Faith had a bus? Inrecent years parents got togetherand bought a bus so their kidscould travel safely. The old busprovided by the school brokedown a lot and the miles hadmounted up on it. The school justdid not have the money for a bet-ter one. No one whined to the gov-

ernment or went online andcomplained or carried on, they

just got together got the moneyand bought a good used one. Wedont see that on the eveningnews, but it should be! The Wecan do it spirit of Faith Countryis to be applauded. Keep itup! Ive also wondered who choseour school colors and why thosecolors? Dont get me wrong, I loveorange and black but mostschools have something andwhite. Does anyone know?

It was the winter of 1935, therewas at least 10 inches of snow onthe level and draws and swaleswere badly drifted, it was alsovery cold. The government snowplow was finally getting ruralpeople plowed out. Some peoplewere getting in desperate need ofgroceries and medications, asmost hadnt been to town forthree weeks or more.

Late one afternoon, the plowhad gotten to the Delehan ranchso Eddie and his mother Leah

had hurried off to Faith notwaiting until morning when theroads might be drifted shut again.The aged grandmother, who livedwith them, stayed home.

Leah liked to visit so sheshopped slowly and eight oclocksoon rolled around. By then it wasdark and looking stormy. Eddieand his mother spent anotherhalf hour or more trying to decidewhat to do! They were afraid tostart home for fear theyd getstuck in unseen drifts or an ensu-ing storm.

My dad, Matt Clasen, was get-

ting up in years and after a long,cold day of outside work, was inbed and asleep by eight oclock.

The old-fashioned wall tele-phone rang. It was Leah Delehanwanting to know if Matt would goto their ranch (2 /12 miles away)and spend the night withGrandma Davis, as they didntlike her being alone. She was inher late eighties and quite frail.

Matt got up and dressed in hiswarmest (no insulated bibs and

jackets then). Mary tied a trian-

gled dish towel over his lower faceand neck and with a wry chuckle,Matt stuck a flashlight in his

jacket saying, Just in case.He then opened the door and

stepped out into the cold, dark,stormy night. He called at 11:30or so when he had gotten there.

He walked home the nextmorning about 7 oclock to beginhis own chores. He did not ask forpay nor was he offered any. It was

just what neighbors did for eachother!

PIERRE, S.D. - A cornerstonef Gov. Dennis Daugaards eco-omic development plan forouth Dakota includes buildingn South Dakotas competitivedvantage agriculture.

Over the past 18 months, theovernor and South Dakota De-artment of Agriculture (SDDA)ave been very engaged with thegricultural community.

Knowing that agriculture ishe primary industry investing inur rural communities, we haven opportunity to set the stage forhe next generation of livestockroduction in South Dakota, saidate Secretary of Agriculture

Walt Bones. In human terms, itslso a dialogue about the nexteneration of farmers and ranch-rs in our state.

The Governors Coordinatedivestock Development Initiativeas four goals.

Goal No. 1 is to communicateouth Dakotas vision for live-

ock production. Starting thismonth, SDDA will hold forumscross the state to discuss thehallenges and advantages ofvestock development in Southakota.South Dakota has progres-

ve, forward-thinking entrepre-eurs who understand thexciting potential of todays agri-usiness marketplace, Bonesaid. Were continuing the con-ersation about the challenges

and advantages South Dakotahas to increase the number oflivestock in our state.

The second goal is to support alocal presence for agricultural de-velopment. SDDA congratulatesand supports the efforts of the

First District Association of LocalGovernments in gathering site-ready locations for livestock de-velopment in Moody, Grant andBrookings counties.

Goal No. 3 is to provide re-sources and training for SouthDakota livestock producers.SDDA is providing support andservices to producers through col-laborative training opportunitiesand updated livestock develop-ment checklists.

The final goal is to exploreways to embrace local controlwhen it comes to livestock devel-opment. We have listened to theconcerns expressed by townshipsand counties, Secretary Bonessaid. Their issues have been

heard.SDDA is currently working

with legislators, industry stake-holders and local governments onways to support and be a resourcefor livestock development.

Our livestock producers areheld to a high standard, Bonessaid. With abundant feed, water,affordable land, processing capa-bilities and a favorable businessclimate, we think there is no bet-ter place to be in livestock produc-

Looking Ahead to 2013In recent days, Congressional

eaders came together with anagreement to provide middle classax relief and extend protectionor two million unemployed

Americans.This agreement provides some

elief for all of us who are frus-rated with the gridlock thatften dominates Washington. It is

also good news for the 98 percentf American families and 97 per-ent of small businesses who wererotected from a tax increase.At the same time, I am disap-

ointed that Congress was unableo pass a multi-year Food, Farm

and Jobs Bill. Congress did ex-end some 2008 Farm Bill pro-rams that will prevent a spike inhe price of dairy and other com-

modities. However, the extensionails to provide any of the long-erm certainty that we know isital for rural America.At the start of this New Year,

my New Years resolution is to re-double our efforts at USDA toachieve a strong and defensiblesafety net for producers in timesof disaster; a comprehensive ef-fort to build up the biobased econ-omy; support for conservationefforts that are protecting oursoil, water and forest land; in-creased resources for importantagricultural research; and sup-port for safer, more nutritiousfood for all Americans.

Thats why I will continue towork with Congress to encouragepassage of a comprehensive,multi-year Food Farm and JobsBill. Such legislation will help us

at USDA to carry out our mission,and provide more certainty forthose in rural America.

Our small towns and ruralcommunities are too important tobe left out or let down. I look for-ward to continuing the effort toget this important work donewithout further delay.
