West River,” is a historical synopsis of the Grindstone area. The book has been released by local resident and now published author, Ruby Gabriel. After Gabriel snapped a sunrise silhouette photo of the Pleasant Valley School building on Christ- mas morning, 2007, her sister com- mented that someone should tell the stories of the area before those stories were lost. Within the next few months, Gabriel discovered in her father’s desk drawer the his- tory of her country school, thus fur- ther intriguing her sense of history. Soon after that, a King family de- scendent now living out of state visited the old Dowling Church. He had memories of it from when he was only six years old. Gabriel un- locked the building and allowed him and his wife in, where the man reminisced. A few weeks later, Gabriel received from him a copy of Bessie King’s old family diary, which contained a wealth of history on the area. Gabriel set out to be that someone to tell the stories. The cover of the 100-page book displays the photo that started the project. The stories inside take the reader back to when the developing community was part of the Great Sioux Reservation. Though the book’s direction is varied, “every- thing in here goes together,” said Gabriel, who clarified, “I wanted to write about ranching.” The indexed documentation uses old newspaper clippings, mostly from the South Dakota Historical Society Archives, diaries, local records, cemetery list- ings and recollections of older resi- dents of the Grindstone area. After the research, “I almost feel like I was there when this hap- pened,” said Gabriel. “I just feel God has lead me to do this. He gave me a wonderful sunrise, and he gave me these people who were lost on the steps of the Dowling Church.” “I couldn’t gather all the infor- mation and retell the stories of Jamie Leaghton Gilmore better than was done by the newspapers,” said Gabriel, who included stories of Gilmore and three other histori- cal murderers. She noted that the town of Philip’s namesake, Scotty Philip, was the executor of the property of Mexican Ed, who was shot dead during a poker game. The information runs the gamut of 710 rabbits being killed during a two-day hunt, to poetry about the old schoolhouse chalkboard, to obit- uaries of people in the Dowling Community Church Cemetery. “There’s a whole section of babies buried out there. It’s very sad,” said Gabriel. In putting the book to- gether, Gabriel said, “I had a won- derful time. I think if you are going to be addicted to something, history is a great thing.” One of the quoted early newspa- pers was The Grindstone Bee. “The whole thing was a hoot,” said Gabriel, who found that the paper’s owner, William Henry Bruno, would “publish whenever I feel like it or have time to waste.” He would barter for payment, but would not accept prunes. Newspapers were important in the area’s early his- tory because the Homesteading Act required potential landowners to publish their stakes in a newspa- per five consecutive times. Gabriel has been asked to hold book signings, at Stoneville, July 21, at Chamberlain where the book was printed, and tentatively at Union Center. She is already work- ing on her next book, about ghost towns of Meade and Perkins coun- ties. Ruby Gabriel – published author by Nancy Haigh Range monitoring and research studies were discussed with atten- dees at the Rangeland Days and Soils Days west of Philip June 19 and 20. South Dakota State University and National Resources Conserva- tion Service personnel presented information and discussed the find- ings and applications. The adult program was held at the Cotton- wood Range and Livestock Reseach Station. Mitch Faulkner, NRCS range- land management specialist from Belle Fourche, spoke about the use- fulness of monitoring rangelands. By monitoring rangeland the producer can see how his/her man- agement practices affect vegetation and the soil. The first step is to de- termine your objective, Faulkner said. The objective could be in- creasing ground cover, changing plant species or their frequency, wildlife habitat, riparian condi- tions, or how livestock utilize the area. The sites should be recorded at the same time each year to keep an accurate record. The time of year would be based on a producer’s ob- jectives. Faulkner said if they are monitoring for plant vigor, or studying plants in general, early to mid-July would be an ideal time. But if looking for the amount of for- age cover then September or Octo- ber would be best. Faulkner stressed the use of pho- tos in recording the sites. He said it is easy to forget exactly how a site looked when the monitoring first started. An overall landscape picture of the site should be taken and, if desired, a closeup of the ground can be taken. He suggested when doing the ground shots, take several along a 100 foot length and place an object in the picture for scale. Notes also need to be taken each time the site is checked. In addi- tion, data such as precipitation for the year, infestations and temper- atures should be included. Janna Kincheloe and Ken Olson, both based out of Rapid City’s West River Ag Center, spoke about rumen fistulated steers which SDSU will use for grazing and nu- trition research. Kincheloe, a research technician, explained that personnel will man- ually empty the rumen and then the steers will be sent out to graze. She explained that this will allow the researchers to remove the mat- ter, see the availability of feeds and what plants the steers are select- ing. The grasses are then returned to the rumen for digestion. Also, by removing matter from the rumen the researchers can check the microbes – bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Kincheloe noted that each type of microbe helps break down the fibers, starch and fats in the feed and they also produce enzymes which further aid in digestion. Kincheloe said the steers will be moved to McLaughlin and placed in a pasture that has a heavy prairie dog infestation. The study will check to see if the steers will graze the fresh sprouted grasses around the prairie dog town or if they totally leave that area alone and find grazing elsewhere. At- tached global positioning system units will also help track where the animals graze. Olson, a range beef specialist, and Kincheloe took the group through the cannulating process. The animals are not harmed by the process in which a veterinarian surgically installs the cannulas. The animals are closely watched until the area heals, at which time they are placed on pastures. Roger Gates, range specialist at the WRAC, took the group south into bordering pastures to review grazing efficiency and profitability of pastures. Gates noted that an ongoing stocking rate study has been con- ducted since 1943. The study fo- cuses on low to high stocking lev- els, which then reflect excellent, food and low-fair range conditions, Range monitoring, research outlined Janna Kincheloe, research technician, explains the cannula to producers at the Cottonwood Research Station.

Haakon County Auditor Pat Freeman and the commission re- viewed a detailed revenue work- sheet. Noted were the losses, such as the funds for the veterans serv- ice office salary and postage for the Extension office. There had been increases in some funds though. A bit of good news was the South Dakota Department of Revenue’s report that counties can use a three percent consumer price index on property taxes, along with any growth within the county. Director of Equalization Toni Rhodes is not yet certified to assess taxes on property, but could possibly be be- fore the deadline for assessments.

Should Jackson County continue providing the service, or discon- tinue it? Input will be taken from surrounding counties as well. Since the county entered into the agreement with the South Dakota Department of Public Safety in 2004, many of the statewide serv- ices have been reduced or elimi- nated across the state. Jackson County receives five dollars per li- cense fee and the workload has in- creased throughout the years. The county is considering hiring addi- tional staff for the increased work- load. People travel a long distance to obtain their licenses in Jackson County. The service is currently available Monday through Friday. The next nearest places to renew or obtain a license is Murdo, Mission or Martin. These sites offer the service only on specific days. The state has denied Jackson County’s request for allowing the county to retain one-half of the li- cense fee. According to a legal no- tice, “If funding is not found, the commissioners are considering dis- continuing the services.” People are welcome to send writ- ten statements to Jackson County Auditor, P.O.

Together they have toured the United States in 2002, 2009 and this year. In 2009, they stopped in Philip because of Haakon County, which was named after a King Haakon of Norway; which also brought them back this year. This year’s tour started in Los Angeles heading north through the northern tier of states. The 26 riders with 15 bikes will travel 3,300 miles this trip.

No free lunch ... by Del Bartels

We all have heard, well most of us have heard, actually I’m sure at

least some of us have heard, okay I have heard ... or at least made up

... the idea that there is no free lunch.

The word “free” is grossly over used, yet still grabs the eye, thus ad-

vertisements abuse it frequently. Sales gimmicks use phrases such as

“Buy one, get one free,” “Free delivery,” “Free extended warranty,”

“Free with purchase of an item of equal or greater value,” “Free for all

customers,” and “Free prize in every box.” Individuals and companies

use the word so freely (sorry) that it doesn’t really mean anything any

more. If one person wins the lottery, that means a mathematically atro-

cious number of people lost. If a person down on their luck is given a

meal, then some good samaritan paid for it. If the company takes a po-

tential client out to lunch, then the current customers pay for it in

higher costs for the goods or services. The only way something is free

is to a specific someone, with it costing someone else.

There is another saying – and yes I looked it up – that the best things

in life are free. Of course, what is best in life depends on the person

speaking. Then, something considered free still has conditions, prereq-

uisites or has to be paid for in some manner later. A sunrise is free, if

you have the health to see it, if you struggle out of bed early enough, if

you cared to look and if you hold any value to sunrises.

I don’t want some “free” things. The flimsy plastic prizes at kids car-

nivals take up drawer space until they are finally pitched. Bugs invit-

ing themselves into your home could be considered free. The breeze is

free, even if it does come from the nearest sewage lagoon.

Some things are not free, but seem that way. Radio waves are avail-

able to anyone who has a radio. The right to travel down a public, no-

toll road requires no immediate charge. The right to say what is on

your mind can be had by everyone, without putting cash on the counter.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you ... though

you will be charged. Citizens may register to vote, but being informed

and opinionated is a cost in itself. Schools are so very far from being

free, but all youth can go. Churches are free, as long as they can keep

up expenses. Not going to church is free, but that can be hotly debated.

Not being treated worse or better than anyone else by businesses or by

the government is definitely worth something, but is free to all. Even

having a government is worth something.

I am not rich, but I have seen enough sunrises to consider myself

wealthy. I am opinionated. I am prejudiced – I prefer rocky road ice

cream and country western music. I like going to church, but which

one varies. I like voting and thus having the right to complain. I can

put up with paying taxes, but only if everyone else is paying them as

well. I know life is not free. I especially know that life as I know it in

this country is not free. Thank God for those who paid for me.

The Midland farmers market isopen every Friday from 6:00 p.m. to8:00 p.m., with vendors offeringgarden produce and other items. Last Friday, the market washeld in the Midland Park. On pre-vious Fridays, because of weatheror other events in the park, themarket has been at the MidlandSenior Citizens Center or theAmerican Legion Hall. The scopeand number of vendors alsochanges from week to week. Although last Friday was a bitbreezy and hot, there were overhalf a dozen vendors, and over 30browsers. According to JulieSchwalm, it was a nice evening forvisiting, enjoying the park and sup-porting friends and neighbors.Wares included tickets to the homeand garden tour, the church cen-tennial cookbook “Trinity LutheranTemptations,” beets, lettuce, car-rots, radishes, broccoli, bok choy,fresh herbs, homemade goods ofpies, jelly, donuts, a variety ofbreads, cookies and bars, aprons,recycle bags and Barbie clothes,soup mixes, biscotti, farm fresheggs, used books, trinkets and jew-elry and snow cones. For the upcoming market, Fri-day, June 29, Schwalm stated, “Weare calling it Pre-Fourth Celebra-tion and encouraging vendors todecorate their tables, and for all towear patriotic clothing. PastorAndy Blye and/or Morris Daly willplay American/patriotic music andthere will also be recorded music.They will be using the sound sys-tem that was donated to the Amer-ican Legion Hall.” “The market welcomes new ven-dors. Bring your garden produce,homemade goodies and craft items,or just things you want to get rid of.

The market is trying for a widerange of vendors to attract a widerange of customers,” statedSchwalm.

The Community Evangelical Free Church west of Philip sponsored a Vacation Bible School for youngsters four-years-old andolder, Tuesday through Friday, June 19-22. Each evening, the youth sang songs, created crafts and played games that werebased on the Bible. Under this year’s theme “Paradise Island,” there were beach and island decorations, Bible verse basedcrafts, self-created snacks and plenty of water games. A total of 20 children were involved, with volunteer leaders alsonumbering about that many. A stage presentation summarizing the week was done on the last evening. Photo by Bartels

Summer is here, with vacations,swimming, barbecues and more.These great summer activitieskeep people busy – too busy, some-times, to donate blood. It takes approximately 185 blood

donations every day to maintain anadequate blood supply for area hos-pital patients, patients who areeager to return to their familiesand the fun of summer. Philip’s next blood drive with

United Blood Services is on Tues-day, July 10, from 10:30 a.m. to5:00 p.m. at the Bad River SeniorCitizen’s Center. This drive is espe-cially important because it is beingheld in the summer. According toAnita Peterson, area blood drive co-ordinator, blood drive participationdrops off considerably in the sum-mer months. “It’s something we see everysummer,” Peterson said. “Peoplesimply are much busier with out-door fun and vacations than theyare at other times of the year. Eventhough donors might have otherthings to do, patients in our area

and how each level affects the prof-its on each animal.

Gates said grasses in the rangeconditions varied due to the graz-ing intensity. The high intensityareas tend to buffalo grass and bluegrama and other warm seasongrasses. The lower stock rate pas-tures tend toward western wheatgrass and other cool seasongrasses.

Focusing on the study betweenthe years 1969 to 2002, the net in-come on range in excellent condi-tion, income averaged $9.31 peracres, good condition at $11.86 andlow-fair at $11.18.

Gates said that the college hasalways promoted the excellentrange conditions, but most produc-ers utilize the good or low-fair, be-cause they stock the area in highquantities which are more prof-itable to him.

In those same groups the aver-age daily weight gain for thegroups reflected those animals onthe excellent range condition pas-ture gained an average of 1.61pounds per acre; good were at 1.69and low-fair at 1.56.

The “Long-Term Production andProfitability From Grazing Cattlein the Northern Mixed GrassPrairie” report of the study stated,“Over the 34-year period of thestudy, real profit ... steadily in-creased ... for the low-fair and goodtreatments while it remained basi-cally level for the excellent treat-ment. It is difficult to speculate asto the cause of these differences,but it is important to note that theprofitability of the low conditionpastures, which had the heavieststocking rate, did not decline overtime, it actually improved.

“In our 34-year study, rangelandmanaged to maintain either low-fair or good range condition wasequally profitable. Profit for bothsteadily increased over time. Excel-lent condition rangeland was theleast profitable to maintain andprofit remained stable over time.These results are consistent with

generally observed rancher behav-ior concerning range condition deci-sions.”

Range scientist Pat Johnson in-troduced a new study at the stationinvolving native bird habitat.

Johnson said the proactive studyis designed to be a jump ahead ofany possible bird threaten statusand also to see if the use of live-stock grazing can help with theirhabitat.

Steers were placed in eightpatches within the same pasture.Water is supplied in the center ofthe pasture so as not to be an issue.Two animals in each patch havebeen fitted with GPS units thatrecord their location every 65 sec-onds.

Personnel at the Cottonwood sta-tion monitor the height of thegrasses, record found nesting sitesand how they are in relation tograzing and weight gain on thesteers. The study is still in its firstmonth, but Johnson is excitedabout early data.

Johnson said this preliminarystudy will be used to apply forgrants so further research can beconducted.

Olson discussed the high sulfatewater trials that had been con-ducted at Cottonwood. Producershad contacted the college regardinglivestock health issues which ledthe specialists to the problems ofhigh sulfate concentrations indams, especially during dry years.

He stated no solution has yetbeen found for the problem. Onething that was found is that thereseems to be a genetic disposition tothe level the animals are affectedby the sulfates.

He noted that after drinkingwater with sulfates, the sulfatesturn into hydrogen sulfide, a gas,in the rumen. The gas then affectsbrain tissue, creating polio-likesymptoms and in some cases death.The change to hydrogen sulfide iscaused by a bacteria, he said, so fo-cusing on the bacteria may be anavenue. As of now there are noplans for further research regard-ing sulfate water.

SDSU ExtensionRe-organization

As we progress into the firstsummer of the new SDSU Exten-sion system, the Regional Exten-sion Centers are becoming busierwith telephone, e-mail and walk-intraffic. As the SDSU Extension Re-organization was unveiled inApril, 2012, some of the criteria forthe location of the Regional Exten-sion Centers included geography ofthe state, and location of majortrade centers. While there can be no perfect sit-uation, the wisdom of locating theRegional Centers in communitiesidentified as trade centers is be-coming increasingly apparent.There are certainly people whodon’t make frequent trips to thecommunities where the ExtensionCenters were chosen to be located,but at least in Winner, a numberof people have stopped in the cen-ter while they were in town for an-other reason. This has providedthem an opportunity to bring incrop samples, weeds or insects toidentify, or simply to request infor-mation in person. If they weren’t planning a trip toWinner, or needed assistance onshorter notice, technology hasserved well, either by calling onthe telephone, sending an e-mail,and sometimes including one ormore digital photographs. On onerecent occasion, I was in northernSouth Dakota, participating in aseries of winter wheat tours andreceived a digital photograph onmy cell phone of some wheatplants. I was able to identify thewheat disease affecting the plants,call the client within a short timeand provided him with the infor-mation he needed. E-mail is alsoused extensively to receive re-quests for assistance, and to pro-vide information, often involvingdigital photographs and the ex-change of electronic documents. Not everyone in South Dakota isblessed with reliable cell phoneservice and high-speed Internetaccess, or even Internet access at

all. We at SDSU Extension are al-ways available via telephone, andmay need to return phone calls,but strive to do so in a timely man-ner. We are also more than willingto send factsheets and/or lettersfor specific information by mail ifneeded. Not everyone in South Dakota isprobably pleased with the re-orga-nization of the Extension Service,particularly if they are located along distance from one of the re-gional centers. The ExtensionField Specialists do feel that theyare able to concentrate moreclosely on their specialty area andbetter serve the people who cometo them for information. If you would like information inthe specialty areas provided at theWinner Regional Extension Center(specifically Plant Pathology,Human Nutrition, and soon, BeefCow-Calf), stop in at 325 S MonroeSt., or call 842-1267. For other spe-cialty areas, if you have Internetaccess, visit iGrow: http://igrow.org/ or the SDSU Extension web-site: http://www.sdstate.edu/sdces/for a complete listing of RegionalExtension Centers, the Field Spe-cialists, their areas of expertise,addresses, telephone numbers ande-mail addresses. If you don’t haveInternet access, you can also con-

tact most County Extension Of-fices and get a list of the RegionalExtension Centers, the Fields Spe-cialists located at each one andtheir contact information.

Children from across HaakonCounty are ‘Wild About Coopera-tion’ after attending the annualHaakon County Farmers Unioncamp, Thursday, June 14, at Git-tings Missile Inn, Philip. The United Nations declared2012 as the International Year ofCooperatives, and this year’s campcelebrated the positive impact co-operatives have had on the econ-omy of rural South Dakota andcommunities across the world. The kids participated in activi-ties and games that taught themabout cooperative business, ruralcommunities and agriculture in a

fun and safe setting. They partici-pated in hands on team buildingactivities, played cooperative tic-tac-toe to test their knowledge ofcooperatives, and watched a pup-pet show telling the history ofFarmers Union. “The positive impact coopera-tives have had in rural SouthDakota is dramatic,” said MarshaSumpter, Haakon County educa-tion director. “Young people need toknow what cooperation can do inbusiness and in their own personallives. The kids who attended camphave a greater understanding ofteamwork and will take the skills

they learned and apply them totheir lives.” Campers participated in 4-H ac-tivities along with other interactiveactivities, games, and singing.Each child also created their owngarden stones as a craft and eachchild also received a free T-shirt. For more information on SouthDakota Farmers Union and howyou and your children can get in-volved in the organization’s youthactivities, visit the education pageat www.sdfu.org or call BonnieGeyer, state education director, at605-352-6761, extension 125.

Loren and Rose Kiel had asguests their daughter, RosanneBrown, and granddaughter,Deanna, and Deanna’s friend,Emma Veley, who arrived fromFairborn, Ohio, June 13. They de-parted June 25 to visit Brown andPates relatives in the Fargo, N.D.,area before journeying on home. Emma’s father, Duane Veley,joined Loren and Rose and theirguests in a day spent in the Bad-lands and at Wall Drug Tuesday,June 19. Duane was Kiel’s guestfor a day and two nights, pitchinghis tent in their backyard. Thurs-day, Loren accompanied theirguest for a day-long trip to theSouthern Black Hills and MountRushmore. Duane went his ownway that evening, camping onenight in the Black Hills beforegoing on to Yellowstone NationalPark. Loren commented that theweather was great for both of thoseoutings. Loren Kiel observed his 80thbirthday, June 23. Besides theircompany, other guests at the Kielhome on Sunday in honor of hisbirthday were Phillis Thorson, Es-ther Knutson, Rich Smith, Jackand Arlyce Griesel, and Mary Eide.Loren remarked, “This is the mostattention I have had for a long

time. Oftentimes in the past I ob-served my birthday out in the hay-field with absolutely no fanfare.” June 23, Mary Eide went over toLoren and Rose Kiel’s to join othersfor Loren’s 80th birthday. Rosanneand girls, and of course Rose, whodoes the grilling at their house,fixed a delicious steak and therewere two delicious salads, plus afruit bowl, and baked sweet andwhite potatoes, homemade buns,and of course we must not forgetLoren’s great ice cream that wasserved with a delicious doublechocolate cake that was made byRosanne. What a meal! We all hadto retire to the living room to restfrom the work of eating such a goodmeal. We also enjoyed musicplayed by Rosanne, and at timesLoren joined his daughter on theviolin and trombone. Many old-time hymns and patriotic songswere played along with a lot ofRosanne’s own compositions.Rosanne is a great musician andcomposes a lot of her own songs.The First Lutheran Church istreated to her music when she at-tends church there when she ishome. Loren and Rose’s granddaughter,Deanna is also very talented.Rosanne said that she has been

playing since she was big enough tosit on the piano stool. Deanna hasbeen taught by her mother. An-other granddaughter is also verymusical and she teaches a group ofstudents. In visiting with Rosanneshe said she likes all kinds ofmusic, some of we call modern shesaid is very good. Rosanne said that if you playevery musical note perfect anddon’t put feeling into it, it does nothave the ability to appeal to you,and it is just cold notes. Later thatevening after coming home, I tookmy granddaughter back over tohear Rosanne play her own compo-sitions on “What Cats Say” and wealso heard Deanna play some musicthat she hadn’t played earlier thatday while I was there. The day was also spent showingpictures of old-time homesteadsand talking about old-time home-steads. One of the pictures of spe-cial interest to me was of mybrother, Rich’s mother, Roxy Smith,in front of her homestead shack. Itwas enlarged to a 12x16 size from aphoto taken off a postcard and wasin a beautiful frame that was madeby Rich’s son-in-law, Ed Buchholz.I thought, “I know now where someof Rich and Gladys’ girls get theirlooks.”

Jack Griesel and Loren Kielknew a lot about old settlers andhomesteads. Loren had many pic-tures of many of those old places.The ladies were also doing a lot ofreminiscing about the good olddays. I don’t know how old ArylceGriesel is, but between her and my-self, we were the youngest of thegroup of guests. I have known Phillis Thorsonsince she was a girl of about 12years old, as her dad and my dadwere in the potato business to-gether near Custer. It was a funand interesting day. Rich left earlyenough to go to Philip to have sup-per with Gladys and Esther wantedto stop over to her homeplace tovisit her granddaughter, CarrieBuchholz, who lives there now. Iam sure that Rosanne was glad toget back home as she is awaitingthe arrival of a grandchild in abouta month or so. Carla Eide, Taegan and Kiley,came from Gillette, Wyo., Fridayevening and got caught in that ter-rible wind at Quinn, but made itsafely home. Then Saturday, sheprepared several hot dishes to takeup to Christa’s to help her out afterthe arrival of her new baby, Aven.

Nice warm weather, but wecould use some moisture.” ChuckKroetch said, “Everything is okay.”We have a special bond with theKroetch family, because mybrother, Richard drowned in theirstock dam. It was a popular WPA(Works Progress Administration)dam and had good fishing. RichardPalmer and his father-in-law, PhilDoughty, drowned there. Theirboat was nearby and Richard’sblack hat was floating on thewater. Fred Kroetch, Chuck’s dad,was the first one to see the emptyboat. That was in 1959.

It is Monday morning, and it ishumid. Where is that humiditycoming from I ask you? We are ac-tually pretty dry, so I can’t think itis because of all that moisture wedo not have. I’m thinking it is com-ing from down Florida way with allthey have going on there. Harvest is getting closer. Customcombiners are moving into town.There is just something specialabout seeing those golden wheatfields waving in the breeze. Har-vest is one of those times of theyear when your eyes are everwatchful of the sky. One storm canwipe out a crop in a matter of min-utes. Some folks have already hadtheir crops hailed out. It gives aperson a sick feeling to see all thathard work gone in a matter of a fewminutes. Reminder: Mass at St. WilliamCatholic Church in Midland forJuly 1 will be at 11:00 a.m. not at7:30 p.m. as was in the bulletin.

We wish to express our sinceresympathies to local ‘Betwixt PlacesNews’ columnist Marsha Sumpterand her husband, Bill, on the deathof their daughter, Sandra(Sumpter) May. Life’s journey withits valleys is never an easy timeand when you lose a daughter or ason it is a most difficult time. Apiece of your heart is missing andyou are never quite the same.Memories of the good times help onthat road to healing. We wish youand your family God’s healing,Marsha and Bill. Reminder: Vacation Bible School“Son Quest Rainforest” will be heldat the Open Bible Church in Mid-land from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.on July 30 and 31 and August 1, 2,and 3 and is for children fromfourth through sixth grade. So ifyour kids fit in that category andwould like to attend they are mostwelcome. If you have any questionsyou can call Pastor Andy and JennBlye at 843-2143. The Farmers Market held at theMidland City Park had a goodturnout last Friday. There were avariety of booths at the market andfolks enjoyed having a chance tobuy something they saw and likedor something that looked tasty toeat. Plus, it’s just fun to have achance to visit with folks. So comeand checked it out next week.These people put a lot of work intotheir wares for sale. Let’s showthem some Midland support. Reports are that the garden touron Sunday, sponsored by SecondCentury, was an enjoyable time. Itbegan with an elegant luncheonheld at the Open Bible fellowshiphall. From there people went off tocheck out the yards of Pat and So-phie Foley, Shad and Jenna Finn,Richard and Celia Doud, Joe andBobbi Woitte and Shorty andMickey Woitte. Each yard wasunique in its own way and peoplethoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. I didn’t make it to the garden

tour as Jerry and I had gone toKadoka to the estate sale of thelate Duane and Dottie Olson. Jerryand I had known Duane and Dottieand their family for a number ofyears, plus Jerry hauled bulk fuelto the Olson ranch. We visited withsome of the family at the sale.Whenever there is an estate sale, itcan be an emotional and drainingtime as memories of those itemsare sold and taken to the home ofsomeone else. I visited with Bev (Sheeley)Johnson by phone. She and her latehusband, Luther Johnson, lived inDenver, Colo., for many years. Icalled to see how the fires in Col-orado were doing. She said in themornings and evenings the hazefrom the smoke will kind of settlein around the Denver area andsometimes through the day. Bevsaid she sold the house she hadlived in for 30 years and bought acondo. She and Luther lived in thathouse for many years and Bev con-tinued to live there after his death.It was a house with five bedroomsand a big yard. At some point itgets to be too much what with yardcare and snow to shovel. So shesold it and is enjoying her condo,but reported it has been a bigchange. The area where Bev livesis called Highlands Ranch, Colo.Her son, Eric, and his family live ashort drive from her, which is nice.The office where Eric works is afive minute walk from Bev’s condo.Plus, Bev reported, she enjoys thefact that places such as the library,stores, two rec centers, etc. arewithin walking distance. Soundsperfect. No more mowing, no moreshoveling and less house to clean. For those of you who would liketo keep up on Alice (Donovan) Ven-ner’s progress you can go to thewebsite www.caringbridge.org.Alice’s daughter, Micaela, gave anupdate following the Donovan fam-ily reunion a while back. ThoughAlice was able to attend the familyreunion she experienced a fewrough days following. But, “Due toAlice’s diligence,” Micaela reported,“and husband Larry’s and daugh-ter Kathy’s excellent care, Alicesounded stronger and joyful.” Alicewas able to eat well and had evengained a few pounds. They ask thatyou keep Alice and Larry in yourprayers. Alice and Larry have astrong faith and the love and sup-port of family which is a huge helpon this difficult journey. I also ask that you continue tokeep Stetson Jones, son of Jeff andJen Jones, in your prayers, as theywere to leave for Cincinnati, Ohio,today for a checkup with Stetson’sdoctor and to see what the nextprocedure is concerning his eye.Whether more treatment will helpor whether they will have to takethe eye. Stetson is four years oldand he and his family have beenthrough an awful lot. But, they tooremain strong in their faith and

have the support and love of fam-ily. Joy (Saucerman) Jones reportedthat the wedding of her and Jerry’sson, Cody, and his fiancée, AudreyNelson, was a very busy time. Codyand Audrey were married June 16,2012, at Valentine, Neb. With thehelp of their family, the morningfollowing the wedding, Jerry andJoy hosted a breakfast for familyand friends. Their granddaughter,Cassidy Trapp, had made some cin-namon rolls for the breakfast.From the sounds of things, theywere a big hit. Following the break-fast and some more visiting, every-one left for their respective homesor for a little tourist trip to theBlack Hills. Two couples fromWater Valley, Miss., the men folkhaving hunted on the Jones’ landfor a number of years, attended thewedding. Their wives had neverbeen to South Dakota before, sothey were taking them to see Mt.Rushmore and the Black Hills.Other friends of Joy and Jerry, Kenand Kim Jones, Half Moon Bay,Calif., were also at the wedding. Aswere friends Ivan and MiriamSchilling, Gillette, Wyo. Joy re-ported there were many family andfriends from the Midland area atthe wedding. Back at home, Sunday evening,Jerry and Joy’s kids had a supperfor them for their 50th wedding an-niversary. Friends, Dick and Gene(Snook) Hudson, were also there.Congratulations, Joy and Jerry.Those 50th anniversaries seem tobe popping up quite frequently inour age group. How can that be? Itseems not that long ago we were inhigh school. Time does fly. Cassidy Trapp and a friend ofhers, who also graduated from T.F.Riggs High School in Pierre thisspring, are leaving for North Car-olina tomorrow, Tuesday. The twogals will fly out from the RapidCity airport and will be gone fortwo weeks. The plane ticket forCassidy was a graduation gift fromthe folks they are going to see andwho live close to where MayberryR.F.D.was filmed. Many of us re-member the Andy Griffith showwith his son, Opie, and Aunt Beaand of course we can’t forget Bar-ney Fife. Though they didn’t haveviolence in their show, a personcan’t help but remember Barneyand his gun with one bullet. For all you Minnesota Twinsfans, I learned an interesting storyfrom a former classmate, Mary Lou(Foster) Wallner. Mary Lou andher husband, Jerry, live in Ram-sey, Minn., and they have a son,Kale, and two grandsons, Bradyand Brenden. Kale Wallner hasbeen chosen to throw out the firstpitch of the Minnesota Twins base-ball game at the new Target Cen-ter, downtown Minneapolis, onJune 30, 2012, at the 6:00 p.m. Thegame is between the Twins and theKansas City Royals. Kale will havehis two sons, Brady and Brenden,by his side. To give you a little run-down ofhow this came to be: Jerry’s dad,Kale’s grandfather, Fred Wallner,(deceased) was a former 1940sbaseball catcher for the Minneapo-lis Millers baseball team. FredWallner’s #17 Minneapolis Millersuniform is being honored by theMinneapolis Twins Association andwill be permanently displayed in aglass disclosure for viewing insidethe new field in front of the Leg-ends Club. As a special tribute tothe Former Minneapolis Millers,the Minnesota Twins players willall be wearing Millers’ uniformsmade for this special day. After thefirst pitch, the Wallner family willall be seated on the third floor ex-ecutive quarters, located under theBudweiser sign, left field.

Mary Lou will be putting to-gether an article of her father-in-law’s baseball history with picturesfollowing the June 30 game. AsMary Lou shared this most inter-esting journey with me over thephone, I was amazed. That uniformtop had been on display in Jerryand Mary Lou’s house for a numberof years. One thing led to anotherand all at once it has turned into anamazing journey. Paul Harveyused to say, “And now, for the restof the story.” That will come at alater date.

Kathleen Hand, Kennewick,Wash., is spending a month at theHand ranch where she grew up,giving her a chance to visit herbrothers, Dave and Tom Hand, andtheir families. Laura Hand flew toKennewick and from there she andKathleen made their trip by car toSouth Dakota. Kathleen and I havea bit of history, as she and I at-tended the Little Eagle School atone time. Good memories of thosetimes. The Hands have had a lotgoing on at their place, as much oftheir wheat was totally hailed outin one of those hail storms. Later,there was a fire north of the homeof Michael and Michelle Hand. Itburned about an eighth of a mile ofBonnie Sivage’s tree rows before itwas able to be put out. Bonnie hada lot of trees planted on her landand trees are something that takesome years to grow. Thursday, June 7, Lisa, Blakeand Stuart Hackerott came fromKansas to visit before Lisa’s mom’s,Ida Hunt, birthday celebration.Courtney (Hunt) McFarland camefrom Wyoming.

We want to welcome to our com-munity, Leigh and Sarah Fernevaland children, Blaise and Ridge.They are living in the former SylviaSnook home and Leigh is employedwith Haakon County. Pat Snook reported the follow-ing: “A special event took placeJune 14, Flag Day, at the CapitolRotunda in Pierre. It was the inau-gural unveiling ceremony for theTrail of Governors sculptures. Thefirst three bronzes are Arthur C.Mellette (sculptor John Lopez),Harlan J. Bushfield (sculptorJames Maher), and Walter D.Miller (sculptors Lee Leuning andSherri Treeby). All four livingSouth Dakota governors were pres-ent, Dennis Daugaard, MichaelRounds, Frank Farrar, and WalterMiller. Very interesting biogra-phies of each governor were read,the sculptors presented their visionof their work, and the bronzes werethen unveiled by family members,except for Mellette, who was un-veiled by Daugaard and Lopez.Mellette will be placed in front ofthe Hughes County Courthouse,Bushfield on the corner by CapitalCity Florists, and Miller, near theSt. Charles Hotel. Work needs to bedone yet on the sites before theycan be installed. It is interesting toknow that South Dakota is the firstand only state to implement a proj-ect like this. It goes to show that wehave a lot of talent and inspirationin our state. The Trail of Gover-nors is the brainchild of MidlandHigh School alumni Rick Jensen ofPierre, and LeRoy Foster of Ft.Pierre. The vision took life over acup of coffee the two were having.Be sure to congratulate Rick forthis outstanding accomplishmentwhen you see him. The ceremonywill be broadcast on Dakota Life,SDPB, at a later date. Rick will tryto let us know when the time is de-cided. The website is www.Trailof-Governors.com. Pat Snook was aninvited guest at the event, and alsoto the artists' and family receptionfollowing at the Governors' Man-sion. Three sculptures will be doneeach year, if funding is secured.South Dakota has had 32 electedgovernors and 10 territorial gover-nors.” Barb and Morrie Jones were inBelle Fourche Friday and Saturdayto watch a couple rounds of thestate high school rodeo. BrodyJones, their grandson was one ofthe contestants in the team roping.Thomas Doolittle and his partner,Austin O’Dea, were also contest-ants in the team roping event.There were a lot of people in BelleFourche, so the motels were full.They stayed across the border inAladdin, Wyo., Friday night. Barbreports Aladdin is a small townwith a population of 15 people andthat it is a nice and quiet stop onthe road with an historic back-ground. The following is a report on theSeidler family reunion: Severalfamilies of descendants of Lucilleand Grover Seidler gathered at theVarmint Hunters building near Ft.Pierre for visiting and getting re-acquainted on June 2. Jeff andJackie Rheborg were the hosts.Mary Nemec was the one pushingus all to do this for a fun reason in-stead of the usual situation of therebeing a funeral. Bob Seidler is theonly one of the Seidler siblings stillliving. Vivian Sichterman died lastwinter at age 90. Mary Oleson,Marge Calhoon, Betty Stalley andEd Seidler all died too young ofcancer many years ago. The four surviving descendantsof Marge Calhoon, Maxine (Shorty)Jones, Dave (Jean) Calhoon, all ofMidland, Mary (Larry) Nemec,Pierre, and Bob (and friend Ruth)Calhoon, Lohrville, Iowa, werethere. Betty and Tom Stalley's descen-dants attending were Patty Stal-ley, T.R.'s widow, Riverton, Wyo.,Bev McNeese, Belle Fourche, Jerry(Sharon) Stalley, Frazee, Minn.,Connie (Steve) Leek, Slayton,

Minn., Karmon Keppers, Pillager,Minn., Lanna Norton, Page, Ariz. Two of Vivian and George Sichter-mans' sons able to attend were Bud(Sharon), Casper, Wyo., and Gary(Cheryl), Colorado Springs, Colo. Bob Seidler and daughter Athel-lan Westerman were there, andsome of the cousins were able to govisit Dorothy at Maryhouse duringtheir visit to the Pierre area. Other family attending the partywere Don and Nancy Smith, Carlyand Kimberley, and a friend, Jes-sica Mascallero, all of Bellevue,Neb., who also drove through theBadlands and toured Wall Drug, asJessica had never been to a reallyrural area, and she enjoyed it a lot.Barry and Lexi Jones and BryerJones and Kacee McDaniel, RossJones and daughter Cassie, RapidCity, Jay and Tabatha Calhoon,Wall, Craig Anderson, Dea Fisher,Jersey Anderson, Nevada Norton,Casper, Wyo., Nacona Toth, Brileyand Dawson, New Castle, Wyo.,Neil Nemec, Pierre, and ColleenStalley Moorman, Madalyn andMax, Riverton, Wyo. Friends coming to visit with thefamily were Sharon Engelhaupt,Midland, whose kids called Ed Sei-dler "grandpa" as Sharons' parentsboth died before her kids wereborn. Ed was a good friend oftheirs, helping Sharon run herplace after her parents' passing.Lane and Sonja Briggs, Lil Briggs,Don Foot, and Darwin Itule, fromnear Ft. Pierre. When the Stalleysworked for Hickmans, the Briggsand Stalley kids went to school to-gether and were neighbors andfriends. Shorty and Maxine Jones wereamong those attending the Codyand Audrey Jones wedding inValentine, Neb., recently. Don andNancy Smith and Carly also camefrom Bellevue, Neb., all stayingovernight and getting in someextra visiting. It was a reminder ofattending weddings of the threedaughters of Patty and the lateT.R. Stalley at Valentine over thepast six years or so. Differentchurches, but the same great placefor a reception, and even the sameband. The Joneses toured along theNiobrara River east of Valentine onthe trip back home, taking theriver road, crossing the BerryBridge south of Sparks, Neb., fromthe south side of the river road,then driving along the north side,much closer to the river, seeingonly a few floating down the riverin tubes that very windy day.Going up Hwy. 183 and turningeast a little way into South Dakotato visit friend, Rose Paulson, on herranch south of Colome was a treat.Rose’s son, Don, has built a new in-door roping arena, and they had toreplace a shop which had burned,so it looked a little different thanon previous visits many years ago.It was a great afternoon of catchingup with a very 'young' 88-year-oldfriend. The whole trip showed the ex-tremes of dry areas, starting a littlesouth of the town of White River,on, with Valentine looking theworst we had ever seen during thegrowing season. Quite brown, withlittle promise of hay or crops.South of Colome was much better,and the Winner area looked good,too. Going on up toward Presho, itvaried quite a bit, with areas look-ing pretty good, and others not somuch. The entire area sure needssignificant rain, except maybe forsome wheat fields. As I close out my new’s columnfor this week, Randy Nemec andhis crew are putting a new roof onour house. He’s had a number ofroofs to be replaced this summer. I leave you with this quote, “Lifeis like a calendar; when a page isturned, it’s gone. And no matterwhat you do next week, no yester-days will dawn.” Some food forthought. Go out and make it a goodweek.

Proceedings of HaakonCounty Commissioners

SPECIAL SESSIONJune 19, 2012

The Haakon County Commissioner’sMeeting was called to order at 10:00 AMon Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Those pres-ent at the meeting were Chairman Ed-ward Briggs, Vice Chairman SteveClements, Members Rita O’Connell,Nicholas Konst and Gary Snook. Alsopresent were Auditor Pat Freeman,Deputy Auditor Carla Smith, TreasurerPatti Rhodes, Director of EqualizationToni Rhodes, Highway SuperintendentKenny Neville and City Finance OfficeMonna Van Lint.

Revenues are the topic of the day. Print-outs were reviewed from 2011 final rev-enues, 2012 actual revenues (as of 05-31-12) and 2013 projected revenues for2013, which needs to be done beforebudgets can be approved. These figuresare projections or our best educatedguess as to what the income will be bythe end of 2013. The two major fundsconcerning revenue projections for 2011were (101) General Fund at 96.7%. Thismeans that in 2010 the projections madefor 2011 revenues were only off by 3.3%.The (201) Highway Road & Bridge Fundwas at 100.2%. There were many issuesin this fund that were reviewed, such asthe unexpected SWAP money at over twohundred thousand dollars and the in-crease of Motor Vehicle taxes on July 1which were not projected previously be-cause it was unknown at the time. Overall2011 projections of revenues made in2010 were very good.

Then revenues that were made in 2011for the 2012 year were reviewed with ac-tual figures in as of 05-31-12. All incomerevenue has been recorded up to thatdate. June’s revenues cannot be posteduntil July, for obvious reasons – total rev-enues are not all in yet for the month ofJune because it isn’t over with yet. 2012actual revenues posted for the (101) Gen-eral Fund as of 05-31-12 is at 51.3% ofthe projected revenues, which is verygood. The actual revenues posted for the(201) Highway Fund as of 05-31-12 is at64.7%. This includes the first half of theopt out ($125,000) being transferred in. Atthis time, the (101) General Fund BalanceSheet was reviewed showing two “As-signed” Balances for Capital Accumula-tion of $193,497.00. This was set up byresolution and designated for a major pur-chase, such as a road grader. The sec-ond is “Assigned” Weed Restitution of$13,675.00 which originally came fromthe Department of Justice in the amountof $25,000.00 and designated for theWeed Control to use to purchase equip-ment they need to control noxious weedsin the county. The (201) Highway Road &Bridge Fund CASH Balance Sheets werereviewed showing “Restricted” dollars forSnow Removal ($100,000.00), HighwayRoad and Bridge Reserve ($24,353.46)and DOT/CTY SWAP Fund($188,291.68) remaining. These fundscan only be spent on certain activitiesconcerning road and bridge.

The meeting was adjourned at 12:15 PMfor lunch. At 1:32 PM, the meeting wascalled to order.

The next thing reviewed were the 2012Expenditure Reports through 06-19-12.Payroll for June has not been done yetand will be posted at the end of the

month. All bills have been posted thatwere approved on June 7th. All depart-ment expenses as of June 19 were invery acceptable percentage ranges fordollars spent. There are Funds that arevery difficult to project expenditures on.Two of them are Jail Expenses, whichhad an original budget of $10,000 wassupplemented by $4,000 and Mentally IllExpenses with an original budget $7,500was supplemented by $6,000. Both ofthese funds had to be supplemented atthe last regular commissioners meetingon June 7th. Other funds that are unpre-dictable are court appointed attorneyfees, support of the poor, court witness &jury fees.

Auditor Freeman informed the commis-sion that a paper dated August 26, 1930,had been found in the DOE’s Office con-cerning the proposals for the 60’ by 76’ 4-story building which was the courthouse.The bids totaled to $95,664.00 back in1930.

EM101 For Commissioners was dis-cussed. This is emergency training forelected officials and a meeting has beenscheduled for Wednesday, June 27,2012, at the North Haines VFD in RapidCity, SD, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

The amounts charged for liquor licenseswere reviewed. These amount can be setfor On-Premise Retail Sale Liquor Li-cense by the county commission not toexceed $1,500.

Nothing was decided at this time.

The rent for the fourth floor to the Town ofPhilip was increase from $60 to $500 amonth for 2013. This includes the 3rdfloor City Police space and the fourth floorCity Finance space. City Finance OfficerMonna Van Lint was present and statedthat it was expected as it has been $60for as long as she has been finance offi-cer. No motion was made at this time.

There was discussion on the purchase ofa used trailer for a highway worker to beup in the northern part of the county. Au-ditor Freeman reported that anything thatwas done and was considered a perma-nent fixture to the county property couldbe taken from the Courthouse BuildingFund. Things that could be chargedagainst this fund, for example, would bethe permanent replacement of waterpipes in a shop building or replacingheaters within the courthouse. This fundcould possibly be used to purchase aused trailer for placement of a highwayworker in the northern end of the county.It would be a county owned “building” ortrailer and also a permanent building. Au-ditor Freeman will check with Deene Day-ton of Legislative Audit. No action takenat this time.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 PM.The next Regular Commissioner’s Meet-ing will be on Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012, at1:00 PM in the Commissioner’s room inthe Courthouse.

This was also the first time she gotto see Aven. Vicki and Mary Eidewent along with Carla to see littleAven and all the rest of the boys.They sure are proud of their newlittle brother. After everyone took their turnsholding Aven, we came home anddid not stay for supper as it wouldhave been no good to take food andthen eat it all! Later that evening,Fitches called and the boys re-ported that the hot dish was verygood and wanted to thank Carla forit. Carla and Taegan went homeearly Sunday as Taegan had tostart summer school and Carla hadto prepare some flower arrange-ments for a funeral. Kiley is stayingfor a week with her grandparentsthen she will go home so she can goto a basketball camp in Montana. Marvin Eide called Dan Olden-berg to check on his heifers. WhenDan answered his phone, Marvinasked him what he was doing andDan said, “Watching the hard rain.”Marvin said, “What did you say?The sky is clear and sunny here.”Well, Dan had answered his phonein Florida where he and Esther hadgone to visit their daughter,Melanie, and family for a week orso. I was in Philip Wednesday andgot a much needed haircut. It hasbeen so hot, and I was glad to haveit cut. Our sympathy goes out to theSumpter family in the loss of theirdaughter, Sandra, this past week. I need to mow my lawn, but I’mafraid to do so as the fire index is sohigh that the least little spark couldbe a disaster. You have to be socareful about where you drive, asthe old grass is so dry and the newgreen grass has not grown verymuch. There are lots of grasshoppersand the vehicle radiators and grillsare full. Just a trip to town makesthe windshield a mess and so hardto clean off. Some people are replanting cropsas the hail destroyed some and thewind produced dust storms so thatafter it rained a little it just packedthe ground and the crop couldn’tpenetrate it. Some are planting feed crops andsome are planting sunflowers, mil-let or other such crops. What ayear! I have lived here since 1951and have never seen a year like thisone. The corn that Trevor Fitchplanted here at our place looksgood. The hot weather has taken allthe surplus moisture we have had,so do hope we get a rain soon but itcan leave the hail out. The wheatwill be ready for harvest soon as ithas ripened fast this past week. It’s been a long time through thehappy yesterdays, and finds one’s-self dreaming of those memories ofbygone days. My heart is filled withgladness touched by nostalgia too.To travel back across the miles andfind many changes that are newwhich tells you life goes on and newmemories to collect as new genera-tions make their way having theirown memories as they grow older ofbygone days.

Milesville Newsby Janice Parsons • 544-3315

Greetings from humid, windy,going-to-be-hot northeast HaakonCounty! It is a little difficult to getsettled down to writing the newsthis morning. We are expecting atemperature of 104˚ here today,with high humidity and wind –yuck! So I've been outside gettingsome of the tasks done before theweather turns really ugly. It isprobably going to feel like Mem-phis or New Orleans weather be-fore the day is out. I hope every-one stays hydrated and safe – thistype of weather is no joke. First of all, my sympathy to fel-low correspondent, MarshaSumpter, and her husband, Bill,on the recent loss of their daugh-ter, Sandra. My thoughts andprayers are with them and theirfamily. Duane and Lola Roseth havestayed close to home this pastweek. Monday, Lola was in RapidCity keeping appointments. Julian and Coreen Roseth got topractice their grandma andgrandpa skills this week. Theirdaughter, Kristin's children spentMonday through Thursday withJulian and Coreen. Sunday, Ju-lian and Coreen took a nice,leisurely drive through the coun-tryside, ending up at Wall forlunch. Coreen said it was nice tosee areas of the country that areoff the beaten track. After they re-turned to the ranch Sunday after-noon, they did some more babysit-ting. Billy and Arlyne Markwed'sdaughter, Cindy Bresee, came tothe ranch Friday. Saturday,Cindy, Billy and Arlyne traveledto Dell Rapids to attend a highschool graduation reception fortheir great-nephew. He is the sonof Scott Jones, and grandson ofJim and Alice Jo Jones. He gradu-ated from high school in Wiscon-sin, but a reception was held inDell Rapids so the relatives couldattend. Scott and Tim Jones andfamilies attended, as did severalother relatives. Cindy's husband,Bruce Bresee, was able to join thegroup also, since he was in SiouxFalls on other business. Sunday,Billy and Arlyne helped with anauction in Kadoka. Dick and Gene Hudson were inPierre Thursday to watch theirgrandson, Avery, play baseball.He plays with the Legion teamfrom Philip. It was a double-header, so they got to see a lot ofaction. Sunday, Dick and Genejoined the Jerry and Joy Jones'family for supper in honor of Jerryand Joy's 50th wedding anniver-sary. Congratulations to them!Other than that, Dick has beendoing field work and Gene hasbeen watering flowers. Jon and Connie Johnson andboys spent Friday through Sun-day in Minnesota, attending awedding and visiting with friendsand relatives. Nels and Dorothy Paulson werein Philip on business last Monday,then they went to Pierre Tuesdayto see the doctor about Nels' soreshoulder. It sounds like Nels hasa torn rotator cuff, and hopefullythe shot that the doctor gave himwill help. If not, he'll probably behaving surgery later. (Some peo-ple will do anything to get out ofdoing dishes!) Wednesday, Nelsand Dorothy took a critter to thebutcher plant in Philip. Sunday,Dorothy served lunch at church. Bill and Polly Bruce have had aquieter week at their place also.Their son, David, spent Tuesdaythrough Saturday helping withprojects at the place. He fixed thewindow screens that were dam-aged by the recent hail -– while hewas fixing them, Polly took the op-portunity to get her windows allshined up. The guys have beenbusy with haying and workingcattle. Last Monday, Vince's balercaught on fire because of a badbearing. Thank goodness the dam-age was minimal. Max and Joyce Jones were inOnida last Thursday for an East-

ern Star meeting. Other thanthat, they have stayed close tohome. Their son and daughter-in-law, Todd and Darcy, and theirchildren, Luke and Mattie, wereon vacation to Yellowstone, soMax and Joyce were in charge oftaking care of the grand-dog.Joyce said Max sprayed for fliesand grasshoppers around theplace, and it has really helped. Frank and Shirley Halligan cel-ebrated their wedding anniver-sary last Friday by going out todinner. Happy anniversary, youtwo! Their daughter, Maggie ,ishome for a visit from her residencein Texas. Ron and Helen Beckwith spentsome time fishing at Foster Bayover the weekend, coming homewith some delicious walleye.Helen visited at Marge Briggs'last week also. The weekend ofJune 16, Ron and Helen were inBrookings to help with her fa-ther's auction. He has moved fromhis home, so he was getting rid ofhis belongings. While there, theylearned of the untimely death oftheir nephew. He was a 30 yearold banker in Minneapolis, andhis death was very unexpected.My sympathy to the family. Ronand Helen, along with daughters,Rose Briggs and Cheryl Ulmen,traveled to Luverne, Minn., lastWednesday to attend funeral serv-ices for their nephew/ cousin.Helen said they lost windows dur-ing the hail storm – one of thebasement windows has a hole bigenough for a cat to go through – sothey are in the process of gettingthe windows fixed. Their gardenhad damage, of course, but someof the plants are recovering andsome of the crop was replanted. I didn't get to talk with RuthNeuhauser this week, but I knowshe had a visit from her grandson,Kelly Boger, and family last Fri-day. The Bogers live in Arkansas,but they had been to a family wed-ding in Washington, D.C., thentraveled to Minneapolis to get atruck and drive it to Williston,N.D., for his parents, Connie andBunky Boger. They came to SouthDakota Wednesday evening.After having lunch with GrandmaRuth, they were headed to visit afriend in Iowa on their way backto Arkansas. Steve McDaniel spent five daysfishing in Canada recently, and itsounds like he thoroughly enjoyedit. Steve and Theresa's son,Tucker, competed in the team rop-ing event at rodeos in Clear Lakeand Wing, N.D., last weekend. Marge Briggs said her garden islooking pretty good, consideringthe recent hail. Mother Nature isamazing! Nancy Neuhauser and herdaughter, Julie, spent Tuesdaythrough Saturday at the familycabin in the Black Hills. Whilethere, they met with the ForestService and had an electrician dosome work. Congratulations toNancy's grandson, Lee Severtson,who has qualified for the NationalHigh School Rodeo. The rodeo willbe held next month in RockSprings, Wyo. Lee is the son ofNancy's daughter, Kathy. Kevin Neuhauser enjoyed thevisit from his nephew, KellyBoger, and family last week. Sat-urday, Kevin and MaryNeuhauser and their daughter,Sarah, were in Chamberlain to at-tend a surprise 60th birthdayparty for Mary's sister, DorisJuhnke. Brianna Neuhauserplayed in a softball tournament inPierre Saturday. Sunday, Mary,Brianna and Sarah Neuhauser at-tended a Wernsman family re-union in Pierre – Wernsman wasMary's mother's maiden name.(Just try saying that three timesfast!) Sarah returned to her homein Spearfish later Sunday. Mary Briggs attended hergranddaughter, Cattibrie Riggle's,softball game in Pierre Wednes-day. Granddaughter Kinsey Rig-

gle came to the ranch with Maryfollowing the ball game. Thurs-day, Lee, Mary, Cattibrie and Kin-sey were in Sioux Falls for an ap-pointment. Sunday, Mary met herdaughter, Rea Riggle, at Hayes topick up Kinsey and bring her tothe ranch. Kinsey will be stayingwith Lee and Mary this weekwhile Rea attends meetings in At-lanta. Mary's sister, Sally, is stillin South Dakota, staying with herdaughter-in-law, Barbara Stout,in Pierre. Sally will be spendingsome time at the Briggs' ranchprior to returning to Texas Thurs-day. It has been another busy weekhere at the ranch. Randy and Itraveled to Kadoka Thursday af-ternoon to help some friends pre-pare for an upcoming sale. Wealso got to spend some time withmy mother, Letoy Brown. After wereturned home Thursday evening,Kelly and Erin Boger and chil-dren, Kelsey and Tate, came tovisit for a couple of hours. It is al-ways so good to see them! Friday,company arrived from California.Our daughter, Jennifer, becameclose friends with the DeJong fam-ily during the years she taught inCalifornia, and the DeJongs havevisited at the ranch several timesover the years. It has been fun towatch their family grow – andgrow it has! The boys are all oversix feet tall now, and Clayton andBonnie have added a beautifuldaughter, Leilani, to their specialfamily. Their son, Tyler, is enter-ing his third year of medicalschool, Blake will be a college sen-ior in the fall, and son, Chase, is abaseball player who just gradu-ated from high school and was re-cently drafted by the Toronto BlueJays. Also joining the group weregirlfriends, Karlie and Stacey,who were a joy to be around. Ourdaughter, Jennifer, and her hus-band, Ross Tschetter, were herefor the weekend also, visiting withtheir friends and helping enter-tain. With such a busy family, theDeJongs can't be sure when they'llbe able to schedule another familyvacation, but we are so glad thatthey chose to spend part of this va-cation with us. They are a fantas-tic group! (And they laugh at all ofRandy's jokes!) It was so refresh-ing to see the ranch through theireyes – sometimes, when you seesomething every day, you forget toappreciate just how beautiful andspecial this place is! After a week-end of four-wheeling, Four-Cor-ners baseball, fishing and kayak-ing on the Missouri River, in addi-tion to a lot of visiting, the De-Jongs and Tschetters left Mondaymorning, and Randy and crewheaded to the wheat field to dosome harvesting. It is a little diffi-cult to get too excited about har-vesting wheat that has so muchhail damage, but it has to be done.Fortunately, some of the corn hasbeen recovering from the haildamage – now, we just have tohope that it doesn't run out ofmoisture during this hot, dryspell. Son Scott Neuhauser ar-rived Tuesday morning to helpwith the wheat harvest. Today, I think I will probably bemost grateful for air conditioning.It is going to be a scorcher! Mymind always goes to our ancestorswho had to deal with these diffi-cult conditions without our mod-ern conveniences. I saw a quote ona social media site that seems es-pecially fitting today also – it said"I was going to complain about theheat today, but then I realized – itisn't 120˚, I'm not 5,700 milesfrom home, I'm not dressed in fulluniform, I'm not carrying 70+pounds of gear, and there is littlechance of me driving over a bombtoday. THANKS TO ALL WHOSERVE!" I hope everyone is workingsmart during this hot, humidweather. Stay safe, and make thisa wonderful week!
