The Official Newspaper of Haakon County, South Dakota. Copyright 1981. Number 24 Volume 107 February 7, 2013 Boys and Girls Basketball 10-11 Wrestling 11 by Del Bartels The Philip City Council, during its meeting Monday, February 4, accepted the lowest of 10 bids for the long-discussed Wood and Walden Avenues utility and street improvement project. Rosebud Concrete Inc., Winner, won the project with its low bid of $1,326,375.50. The council was pleased that so many bids came in, and that the bids were all generally in the same ballpark in amounts. The engineers estimate, though al- ready two years old, had been for $1,320,000. Council member Mar- ion Matt said, Probably as good as we are going to get. One ramification of the process was that the original estimate was based off of market prices for labor and materials two years ago. The landowners were given only an es- timate of their assessment cost, which at the time was $15.00 per lineal foot. Initial assessment no- tices are always estimates as there is no way to have an actual cost until the bids are opened. The bid amount at $22.00 per lineal foot will be assessed to the property owner at a cost share of 40 percent to the property owner and 60 per- cent to the city. The council also made a policy that the citys responsibility of water and sewer line replacements because of the project will end at the lot lines. Exceptions, if any, will be addressed on a case-by-case basis, and then only if the benefit to the city will clearly out weight the initial costs to the city. The bid was accepted contingent upon funding agency approval. Be- ginning of construction will most likely depend on the weather. Six bids were received for the E. Pine Street and Wray Avenue over- lay project. The lowest bid, from J&J Construction, was $217,000. After due research into the quality of the companys past projects, the council will most likely grant the bid. The overlay project is to make the road surface useable for several years as funding for the ultimate replacement project can be arranged. In old business, the citys lift sta- tion wet well will be visually in- spected early next week. Repair pa- rameters will then be determined. A portion of the land that used to hold the West River Museum will eventually become the Pioneer Park. The property has been signed over to the city of Philip for pur- poses of city-owned insurance. The land will be leased back to the Philip Garden Club, and will be de- veloped into a small park. The Philip Garden Club plans on doing much of the work in April. The council has approved to ex- tend a hanger lease beyond the ini- tial May 30 deadline. The owner of the non-working airplane has been paying the rent in advance at six months at a time. The lease agree- ment is contingent on the rent being paid in advance. The current salaries and bills, which totaled $76,590.59, includes $8,407.50 for negotiation and sur- vey/plat work through January 26 by SPN & Assoc. on the two street projects. Building permits were approved for Corks to do sewer repair/re- placement and for David Fitzgerald to put up a car port. Deputy Finance Officer Brittany Smith was asked to investigate changing the date for an offer from the University of North Dakota for a days worth of work by 40 college volunteers. UNDs Pay it Forward program has chosen Philip as one of its locations for 2013. They offer to bring 40 college students to Philip for one day of service, Satur- day, March 9. They are looking for any type of community project that they could be of assistance. Some of their past projects include cleaning up areas of a town, painting, help- ing at nursing homes, etc. Basi- cally, they will provide the labor and the organization/community will need to provide supplies if needed (i.e. rakes, paint). They will also need a place to stay for an evening. The students are used to staying in churches. On Tuesday, Smith confirmed that USD cannot change the date because it is during the volunteers spring break. Council members have contacted several organiza- tions and found that most projects for that many volunteers would be outdoor work and thus would re- quire warmer weather. The council is appreciative for the offer, and is requesting groups and organiza- tion to offer suggestions for volun- teer projects. Outdoor work may be possible, but alternative indoor projects as bad-weather alterna- tives are being requested. Contact the city finance office at 859-2175. The first billing from the city using the Asyst Utility billing pro- gram is anticipated for the March 1 utility bills. Nominating petitions for council positions are due by 5:00 p.m., Feb- ruary 22. The council authorized employ- ees to attend various training sem- inars. Street/sewer Superintendent Rick Coyle may attend the South Dakota Association of Rural Water Systems basic wastewater treat- ment training, February 26-28, in Spearfish. Police Chief Kit Graham may attend the 2013 South Dakota transportation safety conference, March 6-7, in Pierre. Police Officer David Butler may attend the Glock armorers course, March 12, in Pierre, so he can work on the hand- guns used by him and Graham. Public Works Director Matt Reck- ling and Finance Officer Van Lint may attend the South Dakota Air- port Conference, March 27-28, in Oacoma. The next regular Philip City Council meeting will be Monday, March 4, at 7:00 p.m. in the Haakon County Courthouse com- munity room. The council will meet in special session on Monday, March 18, at 4:00 p.m. in the commissioners room to sit as a board of equaliza- tion. Citizens are advised that the official PT-17 form must be filed with the finance office no later than 5:00 p.m., March 14. Wood/Walden bid accepted Black Hills Angus Association Breeder of the Year. T.J. (right) and Jeanine Gabriel, Deep Creek Angus Ranch, Midland, were named Black Hills Angus Association Breeder of the Year at the 2013 South Dakota Angus Association annual meeting, January 27 in Rapid City. Photo by Vern Frey, American Angus Association T.J. and Jeanine Gabriel, owners and operators of the Deep Creek Angus Ranch, Midland, have been chosen by the Black Hills Angus Association as the 2013 Breeder of the Year. The honors came at the South Dakota Angus Associations annual meeting, January 27, in Rapid City. Information presented to the meetings audience included that T.J. Gabriels passion for the breed began at an early age, as he was born and raised on the ranch he owns and operates today. T.J. is the fifth generation on the ranch. The presentation introduction continued, He started his regis- tered herd when he was in high school and later attended college at Western Vo-Tech in Rapid City, embarking on his aspirations in ag/ranch management. He knew he needed his education, although his heart was at the ranch. During and right after college, he worked with a neighbor, who was also an Angus breeder, where he gained a vast knowledge of the seed stock business. T.J. Gabriel purchased his home place from his grandparents, Billy and Arylene Markwed. He, with his wife and children, currently run 150 registered Angus and 75 com- mercial Angus on the ranch. In the last 16 years, in addition to their seed stock operation and annual bull sale, T.J. has built a thriving cattle service business, where he provides A.I. services, ultrasound services and freeze branding serv- ices. The presentation concluded with, T.J. is a member of the Amer- ican Angus Association, a director of the South Dakota Angus Associ- ation and president of the Black Hills Angus Association. In addi- tion, he is also president of the Haakon County Conservation Dis- trict and president and active parish member of Deep Creek Church. Gabriels: Angus breeders of year The annual John Deere days were held at Grossenburg Implement, Wednesday, January 23. According to site manager, Joe Woitte, the Philip store hosted an estimated 60 customers and other guests who came and went throughout the day. The implement put on classes covering greenstar autosteers and mapping. Also, representatives from the Crew Agency held talks on crop insurance. Videos were played displaying new equipment by John Deere. Changes were illustrated con- cerning the new John Deere baler and highline bale processor. Also, three John Deere representatives met and talked to customers. Door prizes were given away and a 150 dollar gift certificate was also presented.

The Philip meeting was just one of many being held across South Dakota during January through March, presented by the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and South Dakota State University Extension. Discussion centers on the challenges and advantages South Dakota has in increasing the numbers of livestock in the state. One of the speakers was Exten- sion cow/calf field specialist Adele Harty, Milesville. Other speakers were Sarah Caslin, South Dakota Department of Agriculture live- stock development specialist and Courtney De La Rosa, SDDAs gen- eral counsel and director of ag pol- icy. Your South Dakota Department of Agriculture is working hard to promote agriculture throughout the state and get the word out about the services and programs we offer, as well as educating the public about the importance of the agriculture industry to our states economy, said De La Rosa. Its import to start thinking about different opportunities to add value to your end product. Every operation is different and so not everything will work the same for each one. Producers need to watch for opportunities that will work for them, said Sarah Caslin. Approximately 25 area produc- ers gathered at the Philip Live- stock Auction to discuss future op- portunities in livestock production in South Dakota. The speakers led a presentation and a dialogue with producers and ag industry repre- sentatives to discuss the impact and importance of the livestock in- dustry to South Dakota. During the meeting, information was presented on the importance South Dakota and the United States will have as the world popu- lation continues to grow and the need to produce food for worldwide consumption continues to increase. South Dakota has the agricultural land, access to water and the pro- duction knowledge to supply food to meet this growing demand. This opens up many opportunities for South Dakotas producers. Discussion opened with the cur- rent economic impact of agriculture on the state of South Dakota ($21 billion in 2010) and the impact and added value of livestock produc- tion. Possible opportunities as well as challenges were discussed by those in attendance. Producers must be advocates for their indus- try and educating others on the economic value it brings to the state. Also discussed were agricul- tural programs such as CRP, sod- buster and wildlife management programs which can be opportuni- ties and challenges. SDSU Extension has developed programs such as beefSD, sheepSD and AgCEO to help young produc- ers learn from veteran mentors. Some optimism was given for the opening of a beef packing plant in the state. It hopefully will expand backgrounding and cattle feeding in South Dakota. Also discussed was the future growth of the South Dakota Certified Beef program managed by the SDDA. However, concerns for enough feed due to the drought, high input costs and capital outputs and plan- ning and zoning issues were also discussed as challenges that face the livestock industry. These issues will be further discussed. This meeting was just one of se- ries of 25 that are being held across the state to allow producers to share their thoughts with the De- partment of Agricultural and SDSU Extension.

The grazing fee for 2013 is the same as it was in 2012. An HM or AUM, treated as equivalent measures for fee pur- poses, is the occupancy and use of public lands by one cow and her calf, one horse, or five sheep or goats for a month. The newly calcu- lated grazing fee, determined by a congressional formula and effective on March 1, applies to more than 8,000 permits administered by the Forest Service and nearly 18,000 grazing permits and leases admin- istered by BLM. The formula used for calculating the grazing fee, which was estab- lished by Congress in the 1978 Public Rangelands Improvement Act, has continued under a presi- dential executive order issued in 1986. Under that order, the graz- ing fee cannot fall below $1.35 per AUM, and any increase or decrease cannot exceed 25 percent of the previous year's level. The annually determined graz- ing fee is computed by using a 1966 base value of $1.23 per HM/AUM for livestock grazing on public lands in western states. The figure is then calculated according to three factors current private grazing land lease rates, beef cattle prices, and the cost of livestock pro- duction. In effect, the fee rises, falls or stays the same based on market conditions, with livestock operators paying more when conditions are better and less when conditions have declined. The 2013 grazing fee of $1.35 per HM/AUM applies to 16 western states on public lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service and BLM. The states are Arizona, Cal- ifornia, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Permit holders and lessees may contact their local Forest Service or BLM office for more information.

Most of us have some things that we dislike enough that its hard to talk ourselves into doing them. Take the long old cen- sus form that sat on my desk for- ever before I could dredge up the wherewithal to deal with it. I knew from experience that it was a royal pain in the backside so I wasnt eager to get started. Nevertheless, the deadline was getting close, and, if you dont get the form submitted on time, the census bureau sends a second one with strong admonitions to get with the program. It also reminds you that this is not voluntary but required by law. This rankles a lit- tle because I somehow thought the purpose of the census was to count people, not cattle, horses, bees, and every other tiny little detail in- volved in agriculture. As you know, the government, given the slight- est opportunity, can completely ex- ceed their bounds and make a sim- ple assignment into a major under- taking. I guess I feel a little like curmudgeon-neighbor Jim who, when getting a census form to fill out, used to simply write on it, None of your blankety-blank busi- ness, and send it back. I dont know if that worked or not, but I do agree with the sentiment. Not being quite as brave as Jim, however, I did summon up a bit of ambition on Tuesday and got the task underway. Did I mention that the census form runs to twenty- four pages and asks you about every acre you operate and every hog and berry you raise? Well it does. Its a real mind bender be- cause Im not always completely sure how much hay we put up per acre last year or the exact number of critters we have, broken down by age and weight. Mostly I estimate. The world probably wont end if I get it slightly wrong. I do cheat, of course, in that I dig out the last form I did some five years ago so I dont have to recalculate what acres are in fields, hay or pasture. Consulting the old questionnaire also makes it so I dont have to fig- ure our grain-storage capacity once again. That involves counting our six steel bins, multiplying the number of rings they have by 550, and remembering that one bin has six rings instead of five. If you peak the bins up, that adds another 250 to 300 bushels per bin, but youre not really supposed to peak bins much if you want to avoid bug problems so I just figure capacity without peaks. This, by the way, is only one of the many decisions about figures you encounter here which make this paper task a headache and something to be avoided as long as possible. The job did eventually get done after a certain amount of mutter- ing and fussing around, thank goodness, and I shouldnt have to deal with it all for another five years or so. That will be soon enough, I assure you. I probably should mention that I slightly en- joyed part of this chore in that, after filling out the paper form, I went online and submitted the form electronically. Computer work can be kind of fun, and it was slightly necessary anyway since Id made a mess of the paper form by making mistakes in ink, crossing out, correcting etc. I hate to admit it, but the computer part was somewhat enjoyable. So, what other work might be less than pleasurable? Some folks detest cleaning barns or chicken houses. The latter is particularly disliked by many. It is rather an itchy smelly business although I dont personally mind it over much. Neither do I mind doing dishes although cleaning bath- rooms is not much fun. When I lived in a little house in Georgia with two other guys while we were going to Navy supply school, our bathroom there often got fairly rank before we finally broke out the cleaning supplies. When my mother was in her last years, I had to take on cleaning her bathroom and didnt care much for that ei- ther although it wasnt terrible. I just didnt enjoy it. Luckily, wife Corinne always finds our bath- rooms unacceptable around here before I do so I havent had to deal with toilet cleaning in recent times which is just fine with me. Somehow, I can often cope with physical stuff better than with mind games. Thats probably a common trend and why doctors and lawyers make the big bucks. Few people want to attend enough school to get into those professions in the first place, and then the work is difficult mentally. I guess if you want to make a lot of money you have to work in areas that re- quire brain function more than physical effort. Now that the census form is done, I can happily go on to other work which unfortunately involves doing a distressingly long tax re- turn. Oh, my! Guess Id better get going on it since the deadline for ranchers who dont estimate taxes is the first of March, and February is a short month. After that, though, I can think about planting some tomatoes and cucumbers, which is fun. Im looking forward to it. I might even wash the pickup. Compared to census and tax forms, those things will be a picnic. Ice on the water ... by Del Bartels I looked at a solid cover of rippled ice that had crammed itself edge to edge on the stock dam. Some ranchers have given up trying to keep at least the edges open, and instead are using tire tanks with heat bubblers for their cows. On the dams top, fingers of snow stretch for a handhold, but each shift of the wind rearranged any cover that had- nt wisped its way to shore. The frigid cold waited, of course, until calving was close to begin- ning. Pickup engines groan and threaten to not fire over. Keeping my back to the wind is an ever-changing stance, and sometimes Im not quick enough and my face is stung and my collar tested. Gloves get in the way of exacting work. Any chores in a barn or shed are now shifted to the top of the list. Ranchers inside chores, such as the dreaded bookkeeping and financial projections for planting, are al- most looked forward to. Finances are as hard as the surface of the dam. A drought summer and a practically bare-ground winter arent good things. For most, this years hay stockpile is less than last years. After several trips to the sale barn, ranchers herds are smaller than during last year. Even if things go well, the numbers will first have to be bolstered through keeping of calves or buying of more bred cows. Western South Dakota and wind are synonyms, yet add zero degree temperatures and the combination is nasty. Even in town, I and oth- ers stay home whenever we can. School and community activities are being postponed or cancelled because of dangerous travel, and lack of workers and audiences. Schools are still open because, in the long run, it is easier. Freezing cold causes most businesses to have little foot traffic, now replaced with far more phone calls. The grocery store and gas stations, though, are inundated with people stocking up on necessities. It seems almost everyone is cooking hot chili for supper. Skifts of new snow allow for new footprints and tire tracks. At days end, tree branches have white on top and dark shadows underneath, but at days beginning they prism the light through a covering of frozen needles. Cattle, instead of lazily basking in the summer heat, now wandering plod along in search of that summer. I, and I suppose others, stay at home, maybe watching a football game, knowing that the opportunity only comes with the slow down of winter. It is amazing that in a few more months it will be a far warmer season. The winter suns false hint of warmth will become hot metal and sunburns. Overcast skies calling for warm caps will soon offer a sweat-causing glare that requires sunglasses. Antifreeze will be to prevent boilovers. Though still a concern, finances wont seem as dreary. Stock dams will be for cooling off of livestock. A tall glass of drinking water will be better with ice cubes. The stock dam will one day be open. After all, the water is still underneath. I keep telling myself, all we have to do is out-last the ice on the water.

We will run your event notice the two issues prior to your event at no charge. Why are we in a constant hurry? Most of western South Dakota was once one of the most relaxed places in the country. Now the de- sire for efficiency from everything in life, with never any let up, is al- most a contagious disease. Some people can never think about any- thing but work, so much so they are always being stressed out and anxious about everything in life. Not so much in Midland, but for some in Philip, like the Pioneer Re- views expert scribe Del Bartels, seems to be able to squeeze in and finish as many tasks as possible. This reminds one of the saying, Live everyday as if today is your last day on earth, but it still seems he lives a life of contemplation and vision at times. But there are many who cant put occupations aside and enjoy a moment of peace and relaxation. I know one man in Midland who said he couldnt relax because to do so would (give him gas). But curing this deficiency of immersing your- self in a moment of peace is not dif- ficult. Make a wish, and fill your heart with hope and happiness. And dont eat too many beans. The world needs more coopera- tion, and less hate and selfishness. We need to offer inspiration, share personal spiritual experiences and bring deeper understanding of oth- ers perspectives. Abraham Lincoln once said, The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. Slow your life down; enjoy your moments of tranquility. Theres no need to always be rushing, because theres no winners in a never-end- ing race. May God bless you and this na- tion. We have so much to be thank- ful for. Bill Kunkle Harrisburg, Oreg. Guest editorial by Representative Elizabeth May Another busy week at Pierre. On Tuesday, HB1119 & HB1133 were brought to the education commit- tee. HB1119 was brought before the education committee by prime sponsor Rep. Kathy Tyler, District 4. This bill would have established a school-to-work grant program in the Department of Education. The purpose of the grant program was to support partnerships among school districts, local employers, and communities that are formed to assist high school seniors, who may not pursue post-secondary ed- ucation, in their transition from high school to the workforce. HB 1133 was presented by prime spon- sor, Rep. Munstrom, District 7. This bill was to establish an inno- vation grant program for school districts. Both bills had positive points, but neither bill had a dollar amount to implement the pro- grams. Both bills were moved to the 41st day. I was scheduled to introduce a bill to Education Committee on the 6th of February, but due to another bill being moved from the schedule I was asked to present it this week. HB 1176 was to define the word truant. The state of South Dakota does not have a definition of truant on the books. Twenty-six states have a definition of truant and three of those states are North Dakota, Minnesota and Wyoming. The Department Of Ed. came out to oppose the bill, stating, They want it left up to local control. My intent was for the State of South Dakota to send a clear message on the importance of children attend- ing school on a regular basis. Our teachers are expected to meet stan- dards on mandated student assess- ment tests and we need to give them every opportunity to meet those expectations. HB 1176 was a bill that was no cost to the taxpay- ers while sending a strong message of importance on regular student attendance. The bill was moved to the 41st day by a vote of 10 yea and 5 nay. I will reintroduce it again next year. Other bills of interest that passed from the house floor. HB1049 An Act to transfer the value added agriculture sub-fund from the Governors Office of Eco- nomic Development to the Depart- ment of Agriculture. HB1028 An Act to repeal the requirement that a minor be ac- companied by an adult while hunt- ing mourning doves. HB1059 An Act to repeal and revise certain obsolete and unnec- essary statutes and rules relating to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. HB 1059 removed 29 pages or 2870 words from the books. I want to encourage everyone to schedule a visit to see the beautiful mansion built with donations that reflects the great history of South Dakota. I also enjoyed attending the SD School Superintendents Re- ception, Community Healthcare Association of the Dakotas, Habi- tat For Humanity/Home Builders/ Realtors and SD Land Title recep- tions. It was great to see faces from back home! I also want to take this opportu- nity to congratulate Kevin Ellis, Black Hills State University chem- istry major from Oglala. Kevin worked with Dr. John Dixson, as- sistant professor of chemistry, to investigate medicinal plants that American Indians used to treat a variety of diseases as a new source of new, natural products to treat antibiotic resistant diseases. Kevin is one of South Dakotas future leaders! You can contact me at the House Chamber number 773-3851. Leave a phone number and Ill call you back. The fax number is 773-6806.

Week January 28-31 in Pierre by Senator Jim Bradford District 27 Weve just completed our fourth week of the 2013 Session. In the Senate Health and Judiciary Com- mittees on which I serve, we have been seeing an increase of bills to review. As a rancher myself, I know the importance of agriculture to our South Dakota economy. Id like to share a few facts which highlight just how important this industry is to our state. Ag is South Dakotas number one industry with a $20.9 billion dollar economic impact. In 2012, no state in the country derived a larger per- centage of its Gross Domestic Prod- uct from agriculture than South Dakota. We actually get 10.9 per- cent of our GDP from Agriculture. The S.D. Department of Agricul- ture works to promote and develop agriculture as well manage divi- sions within the department such as conservation and forestry, wild- land fires, and the State Fair. The S.D. Department of Ag re- ceives a total of $16.6 million for operations ($5.7 million of its fund- ing from the federal government; $3.8 million from the state general fund; and $6.7 million from other sources). These other sources are primarily check off dollars for com- modity education and promotion programs. Each and every pro- ducer in South Dakota who pays a check off fee contributes to the work of promoting our agriculture commodities. Soon the Senate will hear HB1087, the so-called Sentinel Bill which would allow teachers, ad- ministrators or staff to become au- thorized personnel and carry a gun in school if the local school board approves. I believe that cur- rent law is adequate in that it al- ready allows schools to have a school resource officer. An officer of the law should be the only autho- rized person with a weapon on school grounds. While we all want to keep kids safe, I believe that al- lowing teachers and staff to carry guns in schools only increases the possibility of accident, liability, and will likely create intense public pressure whatever the local board decides. This passed 42-27 in the House and now it will be up to the Senate. Proponents claim that schools are known to be gun-free zones and this increases our childrens vul- nerability. But almost all places where families gather are likely to be gun free. How far do we go? Should we make sure armed volun- teers are at each of our church services, Sunday Schools, ball games, city parks, movie theatres and pizza places? Do we really want our children to feel that their South Dakota school is so at-risk that we must allow teachers to carry weapons? Lets not forget to think about who really matters our kids and grandkids and how this will make them feel. Contact me at 605-685-4241 or Sen.Bradford@state .sd.us.

ESN is a unique product, featuring a polymer (plas- tic) coating on the urea fertilizer pellets, which delays the conver- sion of the urea pellets to forms of nitrogen that are susceptible to loss through volatilization, denitri- fication and leaching before con- verting to the form that is avail- able to plants. Recent studies indicate that ESN does delay the release of ni- trogen, but depending on the tim- ing of application, temperature and moisture conditions, may delay the release too much for op- timum yield. Studies were con- ducted at two sites in South Dakota, with nitrogen rates of 40, 60, 80 and 100 lbs/A compared to no fertilizer. At each of these rates, blends of 0, 50, 75 and 100% ESN were applied, with urea making up the other portion of the mix. Both fall and spring application timings were conducted as separate treat- ments. At one of the study sites in par- ticular, as the percent of ESN in- creased in the blend of each nitro- gen rate, yield decreased compared to blends at the same rate contain- ing more urea. This decrease oc- curred more with the spring appli- cation than the fall timing, indicat- ing the ESN was not fully avail- able when the wheat plants needed nitrogen for maximum yield. The claim of protein increases in the grain held true, as grain protein increased for each nitrogen rate as the proportion of ESN in the blend increased. If winter wheat producers plan to use ESN, it is recommended to be applied in the fall, which will allow time for the polymer coating to be dissolved and the nitrogen to be released in time for the plant to fully utilize it. As applications are considered during the winter or early spring; on wheat that has broken dormancy and is actively growing, or just prior to jointing, ESN could still be used, but is rec- ommended to be blended in de- creasing percentages of the prod- uct applied. If ESN makes up any significant percentage of the urea applied in the spring, be aware that it may not all become avail- able to the plant in time to con- tribute to yield. One additional concern poten- tially exists when applying ESN. Being a plastic coated product, it floats. If a significant rainfall event occurs that is intense enough for water to run over the soil surface, the pellets can be transported downhill and carried some distance away from where they are applied. ESN is also approximately 15% higher in cost than urea, which may prompt some producers to apply a slightly higher rate of urea in lieu of using the product or ac- cept the risk of slightly lower yield if some loss occurs. Following sound principles in applying urea when precipitation is likely to fol- low, and shortly prior to when the wheat plants will benefit from the application will also help make the best use of your fertilizer dollar. When making Nitrogen applica- tion rate decisions, taking soil tests and basing the application rates on laboratory analysis and realistic yield goals is highly rec- ommended.

Farm Service Agency An- nounces Important Program Updates The U.S. Department of Agricul- tures Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds producers that the Ameri- can Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 ex- tended the authorization of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) for many Commodity Credit Corpora- tion (CCC) commodity, disaster, and conservation programs through 2013. FSA administers these pro- grams. The extended programs include, among others: the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Payment Program (DCP), the Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE), and the Milk Income Loss Contract Program (MILC). FSA is preparing the follow- ing actions: FSA will begin sign-ups for DCP and ACRE for the 2013 crops on Feb. 19, 2013. The DCP sign-up period will end on Aug. 2, 2013; the ACRE sign-up period will end on June 3, 2013. The 2013 DCP and ACRE pro- gram provisions are unchanged from 2012, except that all eligible partici- pants in 2013 may choose to enroll in either DCP or ACRE for the 2013 crop year. This means that eligible producers who were enrolled in ACRE in 2012 may elect to enroll in DCP in 2013 or may re-enroll in ACRE in 2013 (and vice versa). All dairy producers MILC con- tracts are automatically extended to Sept. 30, 2013. Eligible producers therefore do not need to re-enroll in MILC. Specific details regarding cer- tain modifications to MILC will be released soon. FSA will provide producers with information on program require- ments, updates and signups as the information becomes available. Any additional details will be posted on FSAs website. For more information about the programs and loans ad- ministered by FSA, visit any FSA county or www.fsa.usda.gov. Noninsured Crop Disaster As- sistance Program for 2011 and Subsequent Years USDA's Farm Service Agency's (FSA) Noninsured Crop Disaster As- sistance Program (NAP) provides fi- nancial assistance to producers of noninsurable crops when low yields, loss of inventory or prevented plant- ing occur due to a natural disaster. Applying for Coverage Eligible producers must apply for coverage of noninsurable crops using Form CCC-471, "Application for Coverage," and pay the applicable service fee at the FSA office where their farm records are maintained. The application and service fee must be filed by the application CLOSING DATE OF MARCH 15 2013 as estab- lished by the FSA State Committee. The service fee is the lesser of $250 per crop or $750 per producer per ad- ministrative county, not to exceed a total of $1,875 for a producer with farming interests in multiple coun- ties. How Much Loss NAP Covers NAP covers the amount of loss greater than 50 percent of the ex- pected production based on the ap- proved yield and reported acreage. Risk Management Purchase Requirement for Other Programs Noninsurable commodities on a farm, except forage crops intended for grazing, are required to have NAP coverage in order for producers on that farm to be eligible for the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program, Tree Assistance Program (TAP) and the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-raised Fish Program (ELAP). Producers are re- quired only to have NAP coverage on the forage crop acreage intended for grazing and for which benefits are being requested to be eligible for the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP). More Information Further information on NAP is available from your local FSA office or on FSA's website at www.fsa. usda.gov/nap.

That does not stand for Oh my! It stands for One More Year. Some ranchers hang onto their cat- tle no matter how old they are. Some of those old cows are old enough to vote. Dont get me wrong, I dont think they should be sold just because they are old. On most places a cow does not break even until she is five years old. Thats how long it takes to re- cover her replacement costs. So every calf she has after she turns five is like driving a car that has been paid off. Most ranchers have a management plan for when it is best for them to get rid of their old cows. For the OMY ranches it is when that old cow is finally open. This year was a bad year for the OMY cows, they were 16 percent open. It was also a bad year for two- year-olds. They were 16 percent open. So it was bad year for cattle without teeth. Cattle have eight in- cisors on the lower jaw, none on the top. At two years of age they lose their baby teeth and gain just two permanent teeth. This limits the amount of grass that they can eat and it is further limited when grass is short. The same thing is true for older cows. Cows start losing their incisors at about eight and often have just a couple of teeth left by the time they reach 10. Pregnancy rates for cows overall are the worst since I started keeping records in 96. This year cows were 10.3percent open compared to the average or 7.3 percent. This was the second worst year for heifers with them being 16 percent open com- pared to an average of 12percent. Part of the heifer problem is from the drought and part is because there were a record number of heifers kept last year. When you keep more heifers you inevitably keep poorer ones. My statistics are more detailed than they have been in the past. This is because I broke down and bought a computer and spent several summer days hammering out formu- las. And I have Jen, my technician, to enter data for me. The end result is that I can generate a lot of data on age, body condition scores and frame score. It will be interesting to com- pare this year with future years. This year being a drought year, 10.5 inches vs. and average of 19.5 inches of moisture, Im sure this had an impact on body condition and pregnancy rates. So the lack of rain and teeth led to a decrease in body condition and pregnancy. Most ranchers culled pretty heavily in those OMY cows and hopefully we wont have OMY like last year and pregnancy rates will pick up again. How Are They Testing 2012 James D. Stangle DVM Farmers who sell to grain buyers and grain warehouses will be bet- ter protected under a measure being debated in the Legislature this year. That is according to Pub- lic Utilities Commission Vice Chairman Chris Nelson who spoke about House Bill 1017 during the South Dakota Farmers Unions an- nual Legislative Day luncheon held in Pierre, January 30. The bill is in response to the fi- nancial failure of Anderson Seed Companys plant in Redfield that never paid for millions of dollars in grain it stored at its warehouse. Commissioner Nelson spoke to a crowd of about 70 people which in- cluded South Dakota Farmers Union members and a large group of legislators. The one thing that I really want to stress every time I talk about this is the fact that we dont have a broken grain buyer system in South Dakota, Nelson said. In 2012, 99.96135 percent of the $7.5 billion worth of grain that was sold in this state was paid for, with one exception, and that was Anderson Seed in Redfield, and unfortu- nately that ended up taking some folks for a whole lot more money than shouldve ever happened. Anderson Seed Company owes an estimated $2.6 million to pro- ducers after they delivered grain to the Redfield plant but never got paid. The plant is now closed. In the wake of that we took a look at, what can we change in our state law to give the PUC the tools that we think we need to find those kind of problems much sooner than we were able to with Anderson Seed? the commissioner said. In a free market system, compa- nies are going to go broke, Nelson said. But the key is finding the problems quickly so they dont es- calate to the Anderson Seed level and cost producers millions of dol- lars. One of the biggest issues we had with Anderson was that our cur- rent state law requires at the time of licensing of a grain buyer, that they give us their last audited fi- nancial statement from their last fiscal year end, Nelson said. In the case of Anderson, that state- ment was nine months old. This legislation will require not only that audited statement, but also current financial information when they come in for re-licensing so that we know exactly what the situation is with that particular grain buyer or warehouse. The legislation would also make sure the company is telling the truth and not hiding anything in their financial statements and would be subject to perjury charges if theyre not telling the truth. If theyre going to lie to you and me and the public theres going to be some consequences to that, Nel- son said. The PUC legislation also deals with the level of bond requirement for grain buyers. Anderson Seed Company was bonded for $100,000, not nearly enough to cover the $2.6 million that was lost. But Nelson says the PUC hasnt increased the bond requirement substantially, but he says weve right-sized it, we think, for the amount of busi- ness grain buyers are doing. It would set bonding require- ments on a scale. The more grain the company buys, the more they have to be bonded for. If they buy over $85 million in grain, the bond would be as high as $500,000. The legislation also creates what Nel- son called a Self-reporting mecha- nism. If a grain buyer or ware- house hits financial troubles, they have to notify the PUC immedi- ately. They cant hide it, Nelson said. PUC staff will investigate and determine whether or not the grain buyer should be shut down imme- diately, or find out if they are sim- ply going through a temporary rough spot, and have a plan to get out of financial trouble. If theres not a big risk of farmers losing money, the PUC will work with the grain buyer to stay in business. Obviously thats our hope, to help keep those folks in business, Nel- son said. If someone loses money, this legislation would make it a felony. If the PUC thinks the busi- ness can recover, it wont become public knowledge. The reason for that is, if we made that public, would you do business with them? Probably not. It would have the opposite effect of what we want, Nelson said. If the PUC staff determines theres no hope for recovery, they can recommend to the commission that the grain buyers license be pulled, and that would come into the public record during a PUC meeting. The company would have a chance to defend itself. South Dakota Farmers Union testified in favor of the legislation in the House Agriculture and Nat- ural Resources Committee. It passed the committee, and later passed the full House of Represen- tatives easily by a vote of 66-2. It will now move to a Senate commit- tee for a hearing. No date has been set.

Thank you, Maxine. Just at the same time, Jack Humke came to play for me the Washington Post March, which Maxine had given me. Thank you, Jack. At the same time as Jack and Maxine were here, my son, David Hansen, Ft. Pierre, and his two grandchildren, Tiger and Cecelia, ages four and two, came to visit. (Sheridan was at a retreat at Pactola Lake Lodge.) The kids kicked the ball up and down the hall, had a flag parade, did the stairs a dozen times, and we made pink play dough. M.R. Hansen joined up at the Somerset Court dining room for lunch and paid for all. Thank you all for your enter- taining visits. Somerset Court resident, Addie Rorvig, had company Saturday, her nephews, Ron Larencen, Yankton, George Provencal, Yankton, and Jeff Thomas, Bismarck, N.D. Saturday afternoon, Mary Lou, Susan, Ina Oerlline and Floy Olson played a little whist. Vivian put in a practice game of pool. The January 24 Philip Pioneer Review reminded us of some spec- tacular temperature shifts. This year at Leola on January 16, it fell from 38 degrees at 11:35 a.m. to 26 degrees at 11:45 a.m. and to 20 de- grees by 12:35 p.m. Rapid City is credited with the record for a two- hour temperature change with a 62 degree drop on January 12, 1911. Spearfish set a U.S. record with a 49 degree rise in two minutes on January 22, 1943. I remember that day, for the temperature fluctua- tion affected a wide area, and we were living at Edgemont. Sunday, January 27, 2013, at Somerset Court, we had a tasty noon meal, Virginia ham and sweet potatoes. At 2:00 p.m., we had non-denom- inational church services with Rev. and Mrs. Richardson. Jack Humke provided piano music for us to sing along. Thank you all. One song we sang was I Love To Tell The Story. Rev. Richardson and his brother, who is also a minister, get together and discuss Bible mean- ings. Even brothers see the words with slightly different meanings. We can only pray for guidance so we get the right message. January 26, 2013, the Rapid City Journal had a colored photo of our old neighbor from north of Philip. Char Price, on her horse, Drifter, is shown just outside the window of the office of Governor Dennis Dau- gaard at the South Dakota State Capitol Building in Pierre. Char was showing her support for keep- ing the state laws requiring inspec- tions of horses and mules in West- ern South Dakota. Marsha Sumpter made a good point in her Betwixt Places col- umn in the Philip Pioneer Review of January 24, 2013. She said, and I quote, The state legislature is hard at work. They are now con- centrating on the young drivers. Bills are in place to make a law against use of cell phones, restrict the number of riders and extend the time drivers age 14-17 must have a restricted permit. Be on guard, next they will be after those over 65! We have so many laws al- ready that we probably do not know them all. Whatever hap- pened to common sense? We used to learn to drive when we were big enough and had sense enough. We did whatever work was needed to make a living. Kids helped with the farm and ranch work to the best of their ability. Town kids had jobs and worked in stores and restau- rants and gas stations and carried newspapers. Kids learned by doing. They managed their money and grew up. They saved up their money and bought things they wanted, maybe a rifle or a pair of eyeglasses. Monday, January 28, at Somer- set Court, we had arts with Amy. We made Valentines with butter- flies and stick-on hearts. We col- ored black velvet pictures with felt tip markers. They turned out pretty. Residents who attended were Eileen Tenold, Marilyn B., Marilyn O., Fred Smith, Mildred Young and helper, Kay, Mary Lou Peters, Violet Jenison, Marge Self, and Vivian Hansen. We had a little snow Monday, January 28, 2013, and even a little rain, just in time our annual Janu- ary thaw, which I always thought was January 27. The February 2013 Smithsonian magazine, a gift from my daughter, Carol, and her husband, Al Vogan, arrived today. Thank you. There are several stories that look en- trancing. One is The Real Jurassic Park, Dinosaur National Monu- ment. It has some grand photos. One time, Carol and Al took me there and it was even grander than the photos. It is between Utah and Colorado. Thank you for your letter, my bird-watching friend of Wat- sonville, Calif., Nanci Adams. When now revels in the chatter of the pine siskens and American and lesser goldfinches which swirl around her windows. Thank you, Nanci, for doing the research on The Life of Riley. She sent a print-out of what she learned. The Life of Riley is a life of ease and comfort such as we residents have here at Somerset Court. I will put her print-out in the Somerset Court scrapbook on the coffee table by the fireplace. Thank you to Crystal Denke Jackson, who sent a new shipment of address labels for me with David K. Hansens Philip, S.D., Est. 1907 sign on them. M.R. Hansen is setting up an en- dowment with his unused sick leave pay from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. He will match contributions up to $20,000 total and each donor will receive a glass, (your choice of stemware or tumbler) with your name handsomely etched on it. January 29, at Somerset Court, we played blongo and Fred Smith won both games. Others playing were were Mary Lou, Floy, Irene McK., Denise (Virginias friend), Marjorie Gaffin, Jim Holmes, Mar- ilyn B., Mildred Young, and her helper, Kay, Marcella, and Vivian. Sandy and Susan picked up ball and kept score. Thank you. At bingo Tuesday, January 29, were Alma Gruening winning twice, Shirley Hodgson, Marilyn B., Marilyn O., Addie, Irene A. We had cake and ice cream for the birthday bash. Those celebrat- ing birthdays were Ken Monette, the first, Diane Stone, 11th, James Hilton, 20th, Shirley Horn, 26th, Wilma Keene, 29th, and Elsie Kephart, also the 29th. Staff birth- days were Frances Hernandez, 3rd, David Stinson, 10th, Mark Nelson, 10th, Beckie Douglas, 17th, Chris Trull, 18th, Kayleen Dobbins, 20th, and Kimberly Wise, 31st. Ben Stone is sharing his new Harpers Magazine. Thanks, Ben. Ben brought a big book called Pro- Files for me to look at. It has an article about Bens career along with photos. Ben has been a profes- sor at Drake University and at Black Hills State University. He has done extensive research into the mining industry. He would probably let other Somerset Court residents borrow his book. Wednesday, January 30, 2013, we at Somerset Court had the ac- tivity of stair climbing. We need to be able to use the stairs with confi- dence. We are so used to the ease and convenience of the elevators, we neglect to keep up our stair climbing and descending ability. In an emergency, the elevators might not be working. There was a fair re- sponse to this supervised activity. I feel that it was under-appreci- ated. My daughter, Carol, and hus- band Al Vogan, Colorado Springs, came to Somerset Court about 4:00 p.m. and we went over to the home of M.R. and Barbara Hansen on Woodridge Drive. They were enter- taining a Mongolian family. The dad of the family is at South Dakota School of Mines for his Ph.D. They have a baby girl and another daughter, 30 months old. The moms sister, who is a neurol- ogist, is here in the U.S. for a visit. Barbara made us a nice dinner. Thank you for having me over. January 31, at Somerset Court, we had a cold day. Bingo winners were Marge Self, twice, Floy Olson, Carol Vogan, Vivians daughter, Anne Brink, Irene Cox, Blanche Harmon, and Mary Klauck. After bingo we had a retirement party for Beckie, our housekeeping lady, who has been here for years. Som- erset Court chefs made a big beau- tifully decorated cake which was served with ice water and hot cof- fee. We are glad that Beckie will fill in from time to time. So we will still see her sometimes. Thanks Beckie for all the clean you gave us. James Manlove let me read a let- ter dated August 2011 from a South Canyon Baptist church mis- sionary.

Its been a bit nippy here with light snow off and on. I am lucky to be able to park in the parking ramp thus any snow during the day I dont have to clean off the car. Waiting rooms can build friend- ship while folks are waiting for their loved ones to show improve- ment, get new hope on a diagnosis, or comfort that the best of care is happening. We have some new friends from Columbus, Ga., with Chris and Bucky Layfield and daughter Lindsay. Ive convinced them a trip to South Dakota would be great and a fly over the Bad- lands is one of the carrots on the end of the stick. Lindsay has a bit of an uphill pull right now, but things are favorable for a summer visit. Bills room got some beautiful flowers and balloons from them as they got ready to fly home. Jessica and Sandee Gittings spent Monday night in Murdo after driving on bad roads with dense fog, freezing rain and snow all day on their return trip from Iowa. Tony Harty made a trip to Philip Monday to see the doctor. He got some meds and headed for home and hunkered down for the better part of the week. He did call to check up on Bills condition daily and pass it along to others by phone, so that was good. Kinsey, Natalie, Kohen and George Gittings were in Rapid City Thursday to keep an eye doctors appointment for George. Don and Vi Moody spent the first part of the week getting cattle set- tled and ranch work taken care of. Thursday afternoon, they arrived in Rapid to spend a few days, get medical appointments out of the way, and to take care of getting their tax information to their pre- parer. They were buzzing around Rapid City like little bees when suddenly Don felt some dizziness and taking blood pressure readings caused concern. After a few phone calls, it was determined it may have been caused by the flu shots they had gotten earlier in the day. Did you blink? It is hard to be- lieve February arrived this week. Saturday, I guess the groundhog didnt see its shadow. We were sur- prised to see the gas prices go from $3.179 to $3.499 even though the barrel didnt take a big jump, what is going on there? Oh dear, I wonder if you readers are tired of hearing my blow by blow report on how Bill is doing you want to just scream? The nice thing is, you can skip this part and get on to something of more inter- est, but I just gotta do it! Bill was making progress, gritting his teeth and walking and really trying to get himself up and out when his heart decided to get into the act. He was like a sports car, going from 25 to 80 in seconds after a couple of these accelerations, he was in ICU with tests and CAT scan and it was discovered he had a bad bowel blockage going on that was almost at the critical stage. I spent the night with him in the room Thurs- day. No food or water and a close watch to see if it was going to be more surgery or if things would straighten out on their own. A waiting game with experienced doctors on our side. Alls well that ends well, he left ICU Sunday morning and has been without pain and things going pretty good. Dad had a bull like that once and the garden hose did the trick, but thankfully we didnt have to use the farmer technique. Dream as if youll live forever, live as if youll die today James Dean Friday, Tony Harty went to the Kadoka Clinic and got some more medication since he was still strug- gling with health things. Being sick and tired of being sick and tired is part of it. We wish him a speedy up and at-tem from not feeling good. Kinsey Gittings spent the week- end watching Kobie, Jason and T.J. Davis in town while their mom, Beth, and Steven Stewart attended the stock show. Robin Gittings, Kristie Eden and Doug Zennel arrived at the George Gittings home late Saturday after having some bad roads coming from Iowa. Sunday was spent load- ing Kinsey and Natalie's belong- ings for their move back to Iowa. Steven and Beth Stewart picked up Kobie, Jason and T.J. in the evening. Don and Vi Moody spent most of their time at the stock show one af- ternoon at the lunch counter! They traveled through the vendor corri- dors and went out the east en- trance and saw some pretty fancy heifers before calling it a day. The weather returned to the high 40s and 50s for the week, so was beau- tiful weather for the stock show and rodeo. This year there was record attendance and its getting bigger and bigger every year. Vi has been having fun with contacts regarding the forthcoming class of 1963 reunion. Facebook, as well as emails, are bringing things closer to finding friends and memories of friends through the years. Sturgis had snow and cold the middle part of the week with Tues- day afternoon very nasty with the wind coming up and making bliz- zard conditions, dropping a total of four and a half inches of snow in the three days. The typical saying for South Dakota, If you dont like the weather, just wait 10 minutes was proven true. By Friday it was a beautiful day and the weekend in the 50s. Friday, Ralph and Cathy Fiedler went to Rapid City, did some errands, then met Richard and Diana Stewart who were in Rapid for the Black Hills Stock Show. They had supper together and caught up on news of family and friends. Cathy worked the weekend and Ralph and Cathy en- joyed the Super Bowl at home. Don and Vi Moody had front row seats at their home TV in Rapid Valley for the Super Bowl and the super power outage during the start of the second half. They re- turned to the ranch Monday after- noon, driving through Philip and into the ranch, to find the puppies checking out the deck area and routed out a smelly skunk much to their delight, unfortunately. At least the puppies didn't get any di- rect hits, so could tolerate their welcome home committee. Beauty is in the eye of the be- holder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.

Klopper, Holman and Henrie, PA-C, and the medical facilities and personnel we have here in Philip. The care and concern they have given Cliff the past 12 years, we thank you. Thanks also to the ambulance and crew and the hospital staff in Rapid City, the ICU people were great. Though your smile is gone forever, and your hand we cannot touch, we still have many memories of the one we loved so much. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never part. God has you in His keeping. We have you in our hearts. Rita Ramsey Doug, Bart, Vicki & Gary and families William E. Ed Cudmore_________________________ William E.

Jason and Carson Hamill went to Deadwood Saturday to the snow- mobile snowcross and expo at the fairgrounds. That evening, they went to the big buck contest in Spearfish. A gun show was also at the convention center there, so they took that in also. They met Fred and Priscilla Romkema for breakfast Sunday morning before heading home. All the Hamills had planned to go to the Black Hills but Nick ended up sick so he and Vonda stayed home. Happy birth- day to Carson, who turned 13 Sun- day! Wednesday and Thursday, Jim and Linda Stangle attended a vet- erinary conference in Deadwood. They enjoyed snowmobiling Fri- day. On the way home they watched the basketball game with Philip playing New Underwood. Jim, Sam and Sonny Stangle went to the New Underwood Com- munity Center Sunday for their wild game feed and Super Bowl party. Last Thursday through Satur- day night, the state one act play festival was held in Brandon. The drama kids from Philip High School presented "Discovering Rogue" and received a superior play award. Other awards given were for outstanding performers to Rachel Parsons and Shelby Schofield and to Brad Pfeifle and Kelsy Kroetch for outstanding en- semble. Good job, kids! Milesville students going to the festival were James Fitzgerald, Cole Rothen- berger, Rachel Parsons, Sam Stan- gle, Josh Quinn, and Brock Han- son. Jodi Parsons went to Brandon on the bus along with the kids for the play festival. Tim, Lori and Kelton Quinn drove down Thurs- day to see the play. Victor and Joy Limacher re- cently spent from January 21- Feb- ruary 2 in Kailua-kona, Hawaii. They were there on business and also to see family, including their 14-month-old grandaughter. They picked a pretty good time to be gone as some of those days were re- ally cold, windy and snowy. They brought us back a fresh pineapple, which is wonderful! Tuesday, Jim and Lana Elshere were in Rapid City for the Match Bronc Ride in conjunction with the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo. They also were back in Rapid Sat- urday for the rodeo. A classmate, Linda (Wolden), and Tim, Shawn and Thamy Elshere went with them. Dave, Tonya, Dusti and Misti Berry were at the stock show Wednesday for the bucking horse and bull sale. Jade Berry and Casey Reder each took their chance at riding a bull, with Casey placing fourth but Jade got bucked off. Saturday evening, Cory and Deb Smith and daughter, Caitie and Dusti Berry enjoyed an evening of bowling. Dusti took the rest of last week off from college in Mitchell. Donnie and Marcia Eymer were at the stock show from Sunday through Friday morning. During the cold days they stayed inside ei- ther at the civic center or the mall. Deacon Ries visited at the home of Papa and Granny Radway from Tuesday through Thursday. Satur- day, Glen and Jackie went to Pierre to celebrate Deacon's third birthday at the home of Darin and Leah Ries.

We have had bitter cold temperatures, strong winds, snow, some rain, warmer tempera- tures and today the sky is overcast. Life takes us on some unexpected journeys. Im thinking the blackout at Sundays Super Bowl was one of those unexpected moments. Janu- ary 2013 is past and we are now into February. Time waits for no one. That is a fact. Reports are the ground hog did not see his shadow, so spring is on its way folks. Ivan Schanzenbach has been enjoying getting birthday cards in the mail. His good neighbor, Lani Hand, brought over some of her homemade caramel rolls and homemade stew, along with a birthday card from her and hus- band Tom Hand. Ivan reports they are mighty tasty. Lani is known for bringing her homemade caramel rolls to the annual Deep Creek bazaar. The generations of Schanzenbachs and Hands go back a long ways, as they have been neighbors for many years. And, yes, Ivans actual birthday is Feb- ruary 5. I had some folks confused as the birthday ad had February 3. Our granddaughter, Joanna Nemec, has a February third birth- day. Dates do have a way of getting mixed up. Tyler Rankin's mom, Susie Rankin, Draper, passed away Jan- uary 31, at the age of 56. She had been fighting cancer for five years. Making it of interest in this area is that she was the mother-in-law of Chelsee (Nemec) Rankin. Chelsee is the daughter of Randy and Holly Nemec, Midland. Susies parents are Ray and Janice Pike, Draper, she was married to Bob Rankin, and their children are Andy (Jill) Rankin, Draper, Kati (Drew) Ve- nard, Draper, Tyler (Chelsee) Rankin, Murdo, six grandchildren. Funeral is February 5 in Murdo. We wish to express our sincere sympathies to the family of Susie Rankin. Guests at the home of Morris and Barbara Jones for Super Bowl Sunday and Josie Jones sixth birthday were Jon and Jennifer Jones, Jada, Jewel, Jet, Jess and Josie, Jeff and Jen Jones, Stetson and Maysa, and Morrie and Barb. Everyone enjoyed the day watching football, having birthday cake and supper, and visiting. Happy birth- day, Josie. It seemed to be a weekend for birthdays as well as Super Bowl. Guests at the home of Terry and Linda Schofield for the football game and the birthdays of Kaitlyn Schofield (seven) and Tanner (one) along with their folks, Ted and Michelle Schofield, and other two kids, Clint and Prerry Saucerman, Wilma Saucerman, Carol Hunt, Andy Schofield and boys, Belvidere, Kristina Freeman and two girls, Dustin and C.J. Vollmer, Shelly McLaughlin and boys, and school classmates of Kaitlyns, as well as Terry and Linda. Family stayed for the Super Bowl and sup- per. Vince Bruce stopped by during the Super Bowl game. Happy birth- day to Kaitlyn and Tanner. Shari Wiechman, Rapid City, came to the home of her mom, Wilma Saucerman, Sunday. The two of them went to Philip to visit Sharis dad, Gaylord Saucerman, at the Philip Nursing Home. Jerry and Joy Jones enjoyed supper and Super Bowl Sunday at the home of their daughter, Debbie and Mike Trapp and family. The cast of the Midland commu- nity play, Warrens Peace, have begun play practice. Brenda Jensen is the director. These plays are a whole lot of work and take a lot of time, so be watching for up- dates. Family members have been at the nursing home in Philip with their mom, Ida Hunt, who is not doing well. Ted and Dena Hunt are staying at the home of Cam and Michelle Meinzer during this time. Roger and Peg Johnson, Pierre, bringing Penny Schafer, also of Pierre, have been with Ida, as well. Other family members there have been Roy, Keith, Christine, Teresa, Jan, and Michelle. Marie Anderson of the Silverleaf in Philip came to see her longtime friend, Ida, having a chance to visit with Idas family, as well. She was there when Jerry and I stopped in on Sunday. Marie is an amazing lady, a pretty and sharp looking lady. One would never know she is 94 years old. Others there to see Ida and the family were Michael and Joni Hunt and daughter, Ashley, Murdo. Cyn- thia Finn stopped in, as she was there to play the piano for church services at the nursing home. Our prayers continue to be for Ida and her family. I was visiting by phone with cousin, Sylvia (Root) Huber, Rapid City, and learned she recently spent most of four weeks in bed, with pneumonia and other compli- cations. She is feeling better, but tires easily. She told of her brother- in-law, Darwin Haerer, Wall, being sick. So, I called Betty, Sylvias sis- ter, and Darwins wife, to see how he is doing. Betty said a few days before Christmas, Darwin was not feeling a bit good, and wound up in ICU at the Rapid City hospital with pneumonia and influenza. He was one very sick young man. He is now at home, but has to be careful not to over-do. Darwin and Bettys son, Dar and Lisa and their boys, Deacon (four) and Camden (18 months) moved from Rapid City to Wall. Darwin and Betty are thor- oughly enjoying having those grandkids closer, and Dar and Lisa, as well. Darwin and Betty re- cently bought the Wall ACE Build- ing and also had a construction business. Dar is in charge of the construction part of the business and Darwin and Lisa are running the store. Betty has worked for West River Electric at Wall for a number of years, and continues to work there. So, they are a very busy family. We wish Sylvia and Darwin continued healing in the days ahead. I enjoyed the article in last weeks Pioneer Review by Nancy Haigh on The Buffalo King pro- duction put together by former Midland graduate, Justin Koehler. I liked the human interest com- ments by Justin in the article, when it came to the life of James Scotty Philip. Human interest stories are a passion of mine, as to me, they give you a feel for the per- son and their story. Justin is the son of Mike and Cindy (Tolton) Koehler, and the grandson of Kathy Tolton and the late Robert Tolton and Theron and Elaine Koehler. Congratulations, Justin, and good luck. What an accom- plishment! Gene and Audrey Jones spent a few days in Rapid City last week taking in the stock show. While in Rapid City, they also enjoyed spending time with their daughter, Julie and Jer Whitcher, daughter, Paula Jones, and grandson, Bran- don Dale. They saw several venders who they always enjoy vis- iting with, including Vince Bruce who was at a cattle feed booth. They returned home Sunday. Midland Senior Citizens The senior citizens met at the Senior Center February 4, 2013, for their monthly meeting with eight members present. President Kan- dus Woitte called the meeting to order and led in the flag salute. The secretarys report was read and approved. The treasurers re- port was given. Ruby Huston moved to approve the report. George Anderson seconded and the motion carried. Three cards were sent in January. The February bul- letin board was done. Maintenance cleaned the oven on the stove. Beth Flom took blood pressures. Shorty will make some inquiries to see if we can sell the bottle gas tank we no longer need. Meeting adjourned and cards were played and a lunch was served. Mickey Woitte, Secretary As I close my column for this week, my thoughts are on families who have lost loved ones, on those who have been sick, and on those whose family members life on this earth is coming to a close. Often times, we get so caught up with things we cannot change, with those things that dont really mat- ter, that we forget what really and truly does matter. I leave you with a message from my Amish calen- dar, We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit. Have a good day and a good week!

On Tuesday, HB1119 & HB1133 were brought to the education commit- tee. HB1119 was brought before the education committee by prime sponsor Rep. Kathy Tyler, District 4. This bill would have established a school-to-work grant program in the Department of Education. The purpose of the grant program was to support partnerships among school districts, local employers, and communities that are formed to assist high school seniors, who may not pursue post-secondary ed- ucation, in their transition from high school to the workforce. HB 1133 was presented by prime spon- sor, Rep. Munstrom, District 7. This bill was to establish an inno- vation grant program for school districts. Both bills had positive points, but neither bill had a dollar amount to implement the pro- grams. Both bills were moved to the 41st day. I was scheduled to introduce a bill to Education Committee on the 6th of February, but due to another bill being moved from the schedule I was asked to present it this week. HB 1176 was to define the word truant. The state of South Dakota does not have a definition of truant on the books. Twenty-six states have a definition of truant and three of those states are North Dakota, Minnesota and Wyoming. The Department Of Ed. came out to oppose the bill, stating, They want it left up to local control. My intent was for the State of South Dakota to send a clear message on the importance of children attend- ing school on a regular basis. Our teachers are expected to meet stan- dards on mandated student assess- ment tests and we need to give them every opportunity to meet those expectations. HB 1176 was a bill that was no cost to the taxpay- ers while sending a strong message of importance on regular student attendance. The bill was moved to the 41st day by a vote of 10 yea and 5 nay. I will reintroduce it again next year. Other bills of interest that passed from the house floor. HB1049 An Act to transfer the value added agriculture sub-fund from the Governors Office of Eco- nomic Development to the Depart- ment of Agriculture. HB1028 An Act to repeal the requirement that a minor be ac- companied by an adult while hunt- ing mourning doves. HB1059 An Act to repeal and revise certain obsolete and unnec- essary statutes and rules relating to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. HB 1059 removed 29 pages or 2870 words from the books. I enjoyed a evening with Gov. Dauugard and his wife Linda for dinner and a personal tour of the South Dakota Governors Mansion. I want to encourage everyone to schedule a visit to see the beautiful mansion built with donations that reflects the great history of South Dakota. I also enjoyed attending the SD School Superintendents Re- ception, Community Healthcare Association of the Dakotas, Habi- tat For Humanity/Home Builders/Realtors and SD Land Title receptions. It was great to see faces from back home! I also want to take this opportu- nity to congratulate Kevin Ellis, Black Hills State University chem- istry major from Oglala. Kevin worked with Dr. John Dixson, as- sistant professor of chemistry, to investigate medicinal plants that American Indians used to treat a variety of diseases as a new source of new, natural products to treat antibiotic resistant diseases. Kevin is one of South Dakotas future leaders! You can contact me at the House Chamber number 773-3851. Leave a phone number and Ill call you back. The fax number is 773-6806.

Legislative Update by Elizabeth Sam Grosz Community News Service The battle continues to save the federal Veterans Administration hospital in Hot Springs from clo- sure. Governor Dennis Daugaard told a South Dakota Newspaper Associ- ation group, January 24, that he had just returned from Hot Springs where he met with the Save the VA Committee. A presentation is planned next month in Washing- ton, D.C., he said. The three mem- bers of South Dakotas congress- ional delegation, Daugaard and committee members plan to meet with the head of the Veterans Ad- ministration, he said, to voice their opposition to the closing. The announcement of the possi- ble closing of the facility at Hot Springs came in December 2011. Relocation of some of the services to Rapid City was opposed by many. The VA hospital, said Daugaard, includes an acute care clinic, hos- pice care, outpatient clinic and pharmacy. It also includes a drug and alcohol treatment domiciliary, as well as treatment for post-trau- matic stress syndrome. It should not be confused, he said, with the State Veterans Home, also in Hot Springs, that provides nursing home and as- sisted living care for state veterans and their spouses. The state is building a new veterans home, for which funding already has been ap- proved. The official ground break- ing is scheduled for this spring, Daugaard said. Closing the federal VA hospital affects about 300 employees in the Hot Springs area, he said, and would make such services as dialy- sis and mobile CAT scan more dif- ficult for vets to access. The governor also discussed the progress of one of his favored proj- ects, the criminal justice reform package. He said he was glad to see the strong support the bill received in committee and in the Legisla- ture as a whole. For the most part, he said, legislators have agreed that it is worthy of their support. If enacted, Daugaard said, the pro- gram will improve public safety and hold people accountable for their actions. He reminded that 80 percent of the people put in prison are not vi- olent. Working through the drug and alcohol court programs, he said, people will learn how to be self-disciplined. Growing the states existing businesses is perhaps the most fruitful of economic development activities, said Daugaard. The other two ways are to start a busi- ness or bring a business in from an- other state. But 70 percent of the time, he said, it is most fruitful to grow an existing business. Many times, he said, the lack of a state income tax is not always the best incentive, since there are other, more immediate incentives that take priority in the choice process. In the case of Bel Brands, the large cheese operation relocat- ing to Brookings, Daugaard said, there are huge depreciation deduc- tions, which completely offset in- come for the next number of years. The expiration of the contractors excise tax redemption needs to be addressed, the governor said. That had been a tax on the service of the contractor, and half of it has been given back on large projects. A replacement measure passed by the Legislature last year was re- ferred and defeated by voters in November. The governor said he wants any new incentives to be a bipartisan effort. Governor adds weight to fight to save federal VA hospital in Hot Springs The United States Department of Agriculture is adding 15 more states to a pilot program that en- ables current USDA borrowers to save money on housing costs by re- financing their mortgages with lower interest rates. The pilot is being expanded to in- clude residents in South Dakota. USDAs expansion of this pro- gram will help more rural borrow- ers refinance their mortgages to re- duce their monthly payments and ease their financial burdens, Agri- culture Secretary Tom Vilsack said. As our economy continues to recover, this program will enable rural families living in USDA-fi- nanced homes to take advantage of historically low interest rates. USDA unveiled the initiative al- most one year ago. It initially in- cluded borrowers in 19 states hard- est hit by the downturn in the housing market. To date, 3,394 rural borrowers have benefited from the USDA refinancing pilot program. These loans total nearly $453 million. The pilot expands upon USDAs ongoing effort to assist rural home- owners holding loans made or guaranteed by USDA Rural Devel- opment. In 2010, USDA estab- lished an aggressive modification policy for Guaranteed Loans that helps homeowners who are delin- quent on their mortgages. These homeowners can lower their monthly payments through a loan modification that re-amortizes their payments over a term of up to 40 years, lowers their interest rate, or both. USDA also has a Mortgage Re- covery Advance program which provides guaranteed lenders up to 12 months of mortgage payments on behalf of borrowers who have fallen behind on their payments due to job loss or other hardships. Participants are required to meet income eligibility requirements, and must have made their mort- gage payments on time for 12 con- secutive months. Borrowers partic- ipating in USDAs Single Family Housing Direct and Guaranteed loan programs are eligible to par- ticipate. Borrowers do not have to obtain new credit reports, property inspections or home appraisals. Re- financed loans must be at least one percent below the original interest rate. Terms cannot exceed 30 years. No cash out is permitted to the borrower.

Milesville News (continued from page 5) www.pioneer- review.com My news is going to be short this week as most everyone in the area have been busy attending the fu- nerals of friends and extended fam- ily. I just felt out of respect this was no place to be collecting news. Some very close and dear friends have left us and will be missed by us all. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Marvin McDaniel, Marie Hansen and Jim Hewitt, who were all well known and gave much in friendship and help to our community. This was brought out at their services. It seems that it is a tradition to have the service followed by a meal or light lunch for family and friends. (I think this has come about as people in this area are ei- ther related and those that are not have been brought into the family one way or another, such as invita- tions to holiday meals, working cat- tle together or other jobs that needed a crew. Many have married local people. Years ago people would load up and go to the neigh- bors for Sunday dinner. It was a fun day and the kids would get to play and enjoy each other. This made people very close to each other in this community.) This gives the family and friends time to reminisce and share memories, to see children who have grown up, and hear about their lives, chil- dren, and grandchildren. I seem to have aged a lot when I see how they have all grown up to be great citizens where they live. So as it is, we are a wonderful community and when someone passes away we all grieve. The weather has been up and down with temperatures very cold and then warming up, but stayed chilly due to the wind blowing and snow on the ground. Marvin and Vickie Eide went to Ft. Pierre Sunday to watch the Fitch kids wrestle and got home about 4:30 reporting that Keagan and Colby got first and Jensen placed third. They reported that it was a good day of competition wrestling. I look around our community and find there are not many folks my age, some younger and some older, still living out here on the farms, with those being Herb and Hazel Sieler, Marvin and Phyllis Coleman, Dorothy Fortune, Bev McDaniel, Rich Smith, Donnie and Deloris Poss, Peggy Hauk and my- Grindstone News by Mary Eide 859-2188 self. All of us have family close by. I dont know how others feel, but being at home where you have al- ways lived you dont have to look for things. They are just where you re- member them to be. Most of the places and homesteads do have family and ancestors living on them out here in the Grindstone area. It was nice to visit with Peggy Hauk Saturday. She said that she is doing fine. She looks good. She doesnt seem to have aged much, but as with all of us, she has some problem of taking off at a full gallop anymore. Most of us dont go back and forth to visit as much now a days. We used to see each other often at the ball games in Philip a few years back. I do think some of her close neighbors do get together often, which is nice. Peggy lives about 10 miles north of me. I first met Peggy when she was first married and David was a small baby. I was working for Myrle and Mable Rickard taking care of Mable who was strikened with can- cer the summer of 1951. George Hauk was helping out there too, as was Lennard Thorson. Bill was a baby then and they lived on the Eggen place just about a mile north of where the Tucker Smiths now live. Then, I got married in the fall of 1951 and they all became by neighbors for many years. You dont really need modernity in order to exist totally and fully. You need a mixture of modernity and tradition.

As I write this, we have some dark clouds to our west, but according to the weatherman, we are supposed to have gorgeous weather all week. This kind of weather seems to make me think I could possibly go play in the dirt, but I realize it is way too early for that. We will hopefully have much more moisture before gardening time gets here. However, the warmer temperatures do give me a chance to do a few spring-like tasks. A couple of tasks that I have in mind for today are washing some windows and hanging sheets on the line to dry. I love the smell of sheets that have been dried out- side, and they have a certain crisp- ness that you just don't get when they have been in the clothes dryer we'll see how it goes. I did try an experiment this week that has sort of a gardening twist to it. I read that if you have some romaine lettuce, after you have used the lettuce, keep the bottom portion and put it in some water and it will grow new lettuce. Amazingly, it works! And it is sur- prising how fast it grows! Mine has been in the water for five or six days, and the new growth is now about five inches tall. It is an on- going experiment I don't know how long I'll let it grow before I harvest it, but even after I harvest it, I think I'll continue to leave it in water, just to see how much it will produce. I do change the water every other day to keep things fresh. I'll keep you posted on the progress. One thing I have noticed lately, the birds in our yard are emptying the bird feeder rather quickly these days. There must not be much else for them to eat. It is fun to watch them jockey for possession, and some of the birds are regular bul- lies! We were in the Black Hills last weekend, and on the trip home we were commenting on the condition of the pastures the cattle in some areas are having to search far and wide for something to eat. I wonder if they resort to being bullies also. One thing is for sure, if we don't get some moisture, those cattle will probably have to go elsewhere, or the ranchers will be hauling a lot of feed. It is getting to be a dire situa- tion. I guess we just need to keep praying for moisture. I want to send get well wishes to Bill Sumpter, husband of fellow correspondent, Marsha Sumpter. Bill is in Rochester, Minn., recover- ing from surgery, and it sounds like he is doing well. I hope he'll be able to come home soon and recover in the comfort of his own home! Nels and Dorothy Paulson made a trip to town Friday. In addition to the usual supplies and provisions, they also picked up their new washing machine. It took several weeks to get the new machine, be- cause it is a special size. It isn't op- erational yet, because it has to be set on a base, but it will be wonder- ful when it is all set up and ready to go. Dorothy said the old washer has been working "sort of," so they haven't been completely without clean clothes for the past few weeks, thank goodness. On the trip home last Friday, Dorothy said the snow was blowing across the road, making for slippery, snow-packed road conditions, so they were very glad to be home. When I talked to her Monday, it was foggy at their place, which hopefully means more moisture in about 90 days. Dorothy attended church Sunday. Duane Roseth attended the ranch rodeo in Rapid City Tuesday, and Lola attended a South Dakota Ag and Rural Leadership meeting in Pierre. Friday, Duane and Lola attended a bull sale in Morristown, S.D., then went to Deadwood to meet some friends and spend the weekend. They did some shopping and touring in Spearfish Saturday and returned home Sunday. Billy and Arlyne Markwed were also Black Hills visitors this past weekend. They went to Rapid City to the stock show Saturday, then they traveled on to Spearfish to spend the night with their daugh- ter, Cindy, and her husband, Bruce Bresee. Sunday, the four of them attended an auction sale in White- wood. It was a beautiful day, and they got to see a lot of friends at the sale. Billy and Arlyne returned home Sunday evening. Carmen Alleman and her grand- daughter, Morgan Nelson, took a trip to Florida recently, returning home last Thursday. They got to spend five days soaking up the sun and visiting with Morgan's other grandparents, the Nelsons, who winter in Florida. Carmen said the warm temperatures and green grass were a wonderful break. It is amazing how 80 temperatures can alter your attitude in the middle of winter. Clark held down the fort while Carmen was gone, but I'm sure he was glad to have her home again. Sunday, Clark and Carmen joined their friends, Dick and Mary Carter, and others to watch the Super Bowl. Last Tuesday, Kevin Neuhauser, Jeff Willoughby and Gary Snook went to Rapid City to the ranch rodeo. The gentlemen came back home after the evening perform- ance, with the wind and fresh snow making for a not so pleasant trip home. Thankfully, they got home with no issues. Kevin and Mary's daughter, Sarah, spent Friday night in Pierre enroute to a bachelorette party in Sioux Falls Saturday. Sarah re- turned to Rapid City Sunday to watch the Super Bowl with friends, then returned to her home in Spearfish. Nick Neuhauser and friends were at the Black Hills Stock Show last weekend. Daugh- ter Brianna spent the weekend in Pierre, enjoying the Super Bowl with friends. Mary Neuhauser spent Friday night in Pierre, visit- ing with her daughter, Sarah, and removing wallpaper in preparation for the kitchen remodel project at their house in town. She came to the ranch Saturday afternoon, and she and Kevin had a quiet Sunday and watched the football game at home. Kevin said his sister, Connie Boger, and her husband, Bunky, Arkansas, are in Tampa, Fla., preparing their agricultural dis- play for their first fair of the sea- son. Mary Briggs spent part of last Tuesday with her mother-in-law, Lil Briggs. I'm glad to report that Lil is doing fine, resting comfort- ably at her home near Pierre. Mary said blowing snow shortened her stay with Lil she needed to get home to the ranch before the weather got worse. Mary spent Sat- urday sewing a formal for her granddaughter, Cattibrie, and Lee spent part of the day bringing a trailer back from Pierre. Sunday, Lee and Mary took the trailer to Morris, Minn., to have some work done on it. Lee is staying busy feed- ing cows and calves, and Mary's job in Pierre keeps her busy during the week. Helen Beckwith has recovered from the cold she was fighting last week, but now her husband, Ron- nie, is doing battle with the bug. Hope he feels better soon. Helen was in Pierre Friday evening and attended a basketball game with her daughter, Cheri Ulmen, and family. (Update Marc and Cheri's little girl, Charli, is now walking and very social. They sure grow up fast!) Saturday, Helen worked at the hospital in Pierre. Saturday evening, Gary and Anne Beckwith were guests of Ron and Helen. While Gary was in the neighbor- hood, he helped Lynn Briggs with some computer issues. Sunday, Ron and Helen had friends in for visiting and enjoying the Super Bowl. Frank and Shirley Halligan were in Lemmon last Thursday and Fri- day attending a basketball confer- ence tournament. Their grandson plays on the Faith team, and they got runner-up honors. Sunday, Frank and Shirley joined friends in Pierre to watch the Super Bowl. Bill and Polly Bruce had a quiet week at the ranch. Their son, Vince, and his wife, Katie, were in Rapid City for the stock show for a few days, so Bill and Polly were on chore detail. Saturday evening, they attended church in Midland. Max and Joyce Jones stayed close to home this past week. It is nearing time for Eastern Star offi- cial visits to begin, so they will be on the road a lot in the next few weeks. Ruth Neuhauser said it has been a quiet week for her in Highmore. She said they received a little more snow, but it was melting when I talked to her. She appreciates these nicer, sunny days. Russ and Cindy Sinkey and their son, Zachary, joined family mem- bers at the stock show last Satur- day. There was a huge crowd that day, thanks to the good weather. Marge Briggs submitted the fol- lowing weather data for January, 2013: The high temperature was 53 on the 18th. We had eight days of 40 or above, and 17 days of 32 or below. The lowest maximum temperature was 9 on the 12th and the 21st. The low temperature for the month was -10 on the 31st, and we had four days with a low of zero or below. The average high for the month was 31, and the aver- age low was 12, giving us an aver- age temperature of 21 for the month. Precipitation for the month was .42. The normal precipitation is .35, leaving us .07 above normal for January. Marge measured 5.8 of snow for the month, giving us a winter to date amount of 12.9. Marge said last January (2012), the average temperature was 27, which was 6 higher than January 2013. The average temperature for February of 2012 was also 27. I'm hoping that since we had a cooler January this year, perhaps we will also have a cooler summer. I guess time will tell. We had a busy week here at the ranch. Our daughter, Jennifer, and her husband, Ross Tschetter, ar- rived Sunday, the 26th. Ross is a member of the South Dakota Ag and Rural Leadership (SDARL) group, and they had meetings in Pierre Tuesday through Thursday. Jennifer worked from our house during the week, and it was won- derful to have her here. Wednes- day, Randy, Jennifer and I were in Pierre to attend a banquet with the SDARL group. We got to see many folks I used to work with, and we enjoyed wonderful speakers. The SDARL group has such impressive members past and present. It is a wonderful and important program. Friday, Jen, Ross, Randy and I went to Rapid City to take in the stock show. Our daughter, Chelsea, and her husband, Mike, joined us for supper, as did my brother, Joe Brown, and his wife, Lynn. Satur- day morning, we took in more of the stock show and then headed to Deadwood to meet Ross's parents, Jerome and Susie Tschetters Bridgewater. We were planning to meet our son, Scott, and his family at the snowmobile races, but unfor- tunately our granddaughter, Marisa, took a fall and broke her arm, so we missed the races. We spent some time with Scott and family in Spearfish Sunday before returning to the ranch. Marisa is doing fine with her broken arm. I'm sure she'll be a celebrity at school for a day or so. Hopefully she can stay slowed down enough for it to heal properly. This week, I am grateful for sun- shine. Our winters here can get pretty cold and dreary, but the sunny days really do seem to make things better. It may be because I am truly solar powered, but the bright crisp days give me more en- ergy, and I know they improve my mood! (Which my husband appreci- ates.) Even the livestock seem to enjoy the sun warming their backs. Plus, the sunshine helps me re- member that we are one day closer to spring that is sometimes for- gotten on the blustery, cloudy days. I hope this week you'll have a chance to get out and let the sun shine on you also. It will help put a smile on your face.

So far the season has started off pretty well for these young kids, we are improving every day and have high ex- pectations, stated Philips junior high boys basketball coach Dana Kerns. The A team has a 2-2 record, with good wins over Jones County and Kadoka, and two losses of a combined seven points to Wall and Stanley County. The B team, which is very young as the 6th graders have stepped up to play junior high ball this year, is 2-3. Their season started off with a loss to Jones County, but they bounced back and won two in a row against Kadoka and Union Cen- ter. And have since dropped two close ones to Wall and Stanley County. This bunch of kids is very determined and so far have shown a lot of Scottie pride as they have battled back in games. The mindset is great, they never give up, they work hard, and listen pretty well, as a coach you can't ask for much more. The game schedule for the rest of the season is: January 29 versus New Underwood to be rescheduled, February 1 at White River at 2:00 p.m., Feb. 2 Western Great Plains Tournament in Philip at 9:00 a.m., Feb. 5 B team at Long Valley at 5:00 p.m., Feb. 7 in Philip versus Jones County at 4:00 p.m., Feb. 8 B team at Union Center at 5:30 p.m., Feb. 9 Philip Tournament at 9:00 a.m., Feb. 11 at Kadoka at 5:30 p.m., Feb. 12 at Wall at 6:00 p.m., Feb. 15 B team at Mid- land at TBA, Feb. 21 B team at Inte- rior at 5:00 p.m., Feb. 23 at Bennett County at 9:00 a.m. A team: back row, from left: coach Dana Kerns, Cooper West, Riley Heltzel, Lane Kroetch, Clay- ton Fosheim, Blake Crowser and assis- tant coach Branden West.

The District 14B Philip Lady Scotties hosted the District 16B Faith Longhorns, Tuesday, Janu- ary 29. Philip got the tipoff. Play took up a minute off the clock before a bas- ket was made, by the Longhorns. Another minute lapsed before the next basket, again to the Long- horns. Two and a half minutes into the first quarter, the Scotties got on the scoreboard, with a free throw. The Scotties earned seven points in each quarter of the first half, and nine points in each quarter of the second half. Philip did limit its opponents to just three points in the third quarter, but the other quarters were too great to be negated and Philip came away with the loss. 1 2 3 4 Philip 7 14 23 32 Faith 19 33 36 52 Field goals: Philip 13/44 30%.

Faith scorers: Tearnee Nelson 11, Shanna Selby 10, Madison Vance 8. Rebounds: Philip 28. Faith 34. Philip leaders: Johnson and Dekker 7 each, Lady Scotties cant hold Faith Everyone for the rebound. Philips Madison Hand (#12) and Sam Johnson (#25), with teammate Jordyn Dekker (#35), in back, left almost no space for any Faith Longhorn opponents to have a chance in getting this rebound. Bailey Radway (#15) was ready to assist. Photos by Del Bartels Philips Jordyn Dekker was not going to give up possession of the ball to anyone. A back and forth game between to closely matched teams resulted in a three-point loss for the Philip Scot- ties boys basketball team. This was in front of a home audience, Friday, February 1. About a minute into the game, the Scotties sank a three-pointer to be the first on the scoreboard. Half a minute later they upped that to a five point lead. In the next minute and a half the Tigers put in eight points. Action increased to end the first quarter with Philip holding a three point advantage. The score shot up to 28-26, where it remained fixed for several min- utes at the end of the second quarter and two and a half minutes into the second half. New Underwood then tied the score 28-28, with Philip coming right back with a free throw on a technical to regain the lead. Baskets were made by both teams, but Philip stayed ahead. At the 4:26 mark on the fourth quarter clock, the Tigers gained the lead 44-45. New Underwood expanded that ad- vantage to 44-50. Only 10 seconds remained, with the Scotties needing six points to force an overtime, when Philip sank a three-pointer to narrow the margin to just three points. The last seconds saw time outs and missed New Underwood free throws, but no more points on the board. Philip took the loss. Both Philip and New Underwood now stand with current 10-4 season records. 1 2 3 4 Philip 22 28 38 47 New Underwood 19 26 35 50 Field goals: Philip 15/42 36%, New Un- derwood completed 17.

The first quarter began the walk away win for Philip by the Scotties more than doubling their oppo- nents score. The second quarter was a downturn for Philip when they could only earn two points while allowing the Tigers 10. Philip regained its forward mo- mentum in the third quarter. In the final quarter, they simply con- tinued stretching their lead. 1 2 3 4 Philip 19 21 31 59 Oelrichs 7 17 23 36 Field goals: Philip 23/82 28%. Three-point goals: Philip 0/4 0%.

Weekly Hints for the Housewife Cooking failures would probably be fewer if the cooks knew what caused them. If the cheese on the macaroni is stringly and rubbery, it may have been becaus the cheese was green, or because it was heated too long at too high of temperature. If the meringue falls and is tough, perhaps it was baked too fast or in too hot an oven. If the angel food cake is tough, it may be the oven was too hot. About 250 Fahrenheit is the proper tempera- ture for most angel food cakes. If cracks and uneven surfaces ap- pear in the cake perhaps too much flour was used or the oven was too hot. If the cake falls, perhaps it did not have enough flour, had too much fat, was underbaked, or the ovem was opended or jarred early in baking.
