An easement request for a recre-
ational trail, the Keystone XL
Pipeline and the continuing issue
of a northeastern Haakon County
road highlighted the Haakon
County Commission meeting April
2.
Trisha Larson approached the
board with an easement request for
an eight foot asphalt recreational
path. She said this would be phase
one of a multiphase project. The
area she was requesting easement
for is around the rodeo grounds and
ball fields.
Larson said she is working on ob-
taining easements from private
landowners as well for phase one.
This would probably be the only
trail that is asphalted as they be-
lieve people from the Silverleaf As-
sisted Living Center and Philip
Health Services would be able to
utilize the path. She said a portion
of phase two may also be as-
phalted.
Phase one, if all easements are
obtained, would start at the corner
of W. Pine Street and Stanley Av-
enue, go north on the east side of
Stanley Avenue and cross at the
entrance to the rodeo grounds.
From there it would split and form
a loop. The trail would follow the
rodeo grounds fence line north and
then west along Highway 14. It
would turn east at the junction of
the highway and W. Pine Street,
turn north along the fairgrounds
fence line and then turn east once
more on the north side of the ball
fields. The proposed phase 2
would connect the school grounds
going down the steps onto Elm
Street and head west behind Philip
Health Services, Inc. and connect
to the portion of phase one on the
east side of Stanley Avenue.
Other phases could include a
pathway along Highway 73/Lari-
mer Avenue, one from the intersec-
tion of Highways 14 and 73 diago-
nally to Lake Waggoner and one
south of town.
Larson stated she needed their
approval for the easement so that
she could finalize paperwork for a
Recreation Trails Program grant.
She said as other grants become
available a supervisory board will
move forward with additional
trails. That same board will see to
maintenance of the trails, she said.
States Attorney Gay Tollefeson
stated that the group in charge of
the trail system would also be the
entity responsible for any liability
issues, not the county.
The board approved her request
contingent on the grant being re-
ceived and the trail being built.
R.L. (Bud) Anderson, represent-
ing the Keystone XL Pipeline, up-
dated the board. He noted that
after President Barack Obama de-
nied the pipeline, TransCanada re-
configured the route, skirting the
Nebraska Sand Hills. The route
had also been shortened from over
1,700 miles to about 850 miles,
ending at Steele City, Neb.
Anderson noted that the public
comment period will end April 20.
He asked the commissioners to
sign a letter of support for the proj-
ect. The board approved a motion
to send the letter of support.
Anderson said if the president
signs the request, work on the
pipeline in South Dakota would
commence in August, with work in
Haakon County starting in Sep-
tember.
Haakon County Highway Super-
intendent Kenny Neville said that
he verified that a road under dis-
pute in northern Haakon County is
in fact a part of the countys high-
way system.
R. Lee Smith, Jacksonville, Fla.,
previously requested that the road
be vacated as it runs through his
property. Smith uses the property
as a hunting business. Some people
use the road to access their own
property and others use it to access
Army Corps of Engineer land along
the Cheyenne River.
The commissioners tabled the
issue in March so that Neville
could verify the status of the road
with the state department of trans-
portation records. The commission
approved for Neville to repair a
hole in the road and run a blade
over it to eliminate the grass.
Neville noted that it is marked as
a minimum maintenance road on
the west end, and he will install
signage stating the same on the
east end.
Neville noted that areas of the
county are having problems with
blowing topsoil piling up in the
road ditches. He noted in some
cases the soil is three to four feet
deep. The board directed Neville to
meet with the landowners request-
ing they remove the soil. If they
dont do so, alternate steps will be
taken to remove the soil.
Installation of an underground
water sprinkler system was dis-
cussed by the board. Last fall,
Nancy Neville had presented two
quotes for a system. Mary Burnett,
representing the local Horizons
group, asked the board if an addi-
tional line for a drip system could
be installed to their landscaping at
the north end of the parking lot.
They currently attach hoses to the
courthouses water supply. N.
Neville noted that an updated
quote would be needed as the
prices for supplies have increased.
The board gave her the go ahead
with the project if the new prices
are comparable to those of last fall.
A hearing was held regarding
the Sunday on-sale liquor licenses
with a fee of $100 for each license.
The commission approved the res-
olution instating the policy.
The commission approved a
transfer of $21,000 from the gen-
eral fund to the 911 surcharge fund
as was budgeted.
Also approved was a plat map for
Fred Hoag; raffle requests for the
Philip Horizons group, Midland Le-
gion Auxiliary, and the South
Dakota Amateur Baseball Associa-
tion; March meeting minutes, war-
rants, and a resolution from the
South Dakota Association of
County Officials stating the
Haakon County Board of Commis-
sioners supports the effort to keep
municipal bonds as tax exempt.
Veterans Service Officer Terry
Deuter was appointed as Haakon
Countys representative on the Vet-
erans and Military Affairs commit-
tee recently established by the
South Dakota Association of
County Commissioners.
Barbara (Bobbi) Sloat was ap-
proved as a member of the library
board. Approved to attend the
SDACO deputy workshop May 22-
23 in Pierre were Carla Smith,
Ashley Reckling and Chelsea Moos.
The other county officials were ap-
proved to attend the SDACO
spring workshop May 15-17 in
Pierre.
Reports that were presented
and/or reviewed included Virgil
Smith, county weed supervisor,
veterans service office, sheriffs of-
fice, register of deeds office, and
the auditor/treasurer fund cash
balance report. Auditor Patricia
Freeman noted that she shows a
difference of $560.38 between the
two offices. She noted she hasnt
found where the discrepancy is, but
believes it could involve a payment
of back taxes. The board approved
to surplus computer equipment
from the register of deeds office.
The board signed off on a library
report that Annie Brunskill must
file with the state. She said the re-
port is used by the Institute of Li-
brary Services to compile grants.
The board will meet in regular
session Tuesday, May 7, at 1:00
p.m.

Wheeler-Brooks American Le-
gion Post #173, Philip, will be spon-
soring two Philip High School jun-
ior boys to attend the South Dakota
Boys State, May 27-31, in Ab-
erdeen. The posts auxiliary will be
sponsoring one junior girl to attend
the South Dakota Girls State, May
27-June 1, at the University of
South Dakota, Vermillion.
Gavin Brucklacher, Brian Pfeifle
and Madison Hand will represent
the Philip American Legion.
Midlands American Legion #143
will be sponsoring one boy this
year, Chauncey Trapp, who is a
junior at T.F. Riggs High School in
Pierre.
I felt like going to Boys State
2013 would be a great way to start
off my senior year of high school,
said Brucklacher. The leadership
that it brings to the table will be
used wherever I go for whatever
comes in my future.
I wanted to attend Boys State
for one, it looks good on scholar-
ships, but I also wanted to attend
to have a better understanding of
how the government worked
stated Pfeifle.
I applied for Girls State because
I believed it would be a great op-
portunity for me and a good way to
start off my summer, stated Hand.
I also liked how it would look good
on scholarships and would help me
out with my future.
Upon reaching Boys State, citi-
zens are assigned to one of the two
mythical political parties and to
residence in a specific city and
county. The two parties are desig-
nated as Federalist and Nation-
alist with absolutely no connection
to political parties as they exist in
South Dakota today. With the ex-
ception of city elections, which are
nonpolitical as they are in South
Dakota, party caucuses and con-
ventions are held, with full slates
of officers elected at county and
state level. Appointive officers are
also filled.
Boys State is a nationwide pro-
gram. Last year there were 50
American Legion sponsored Boys
States in operation. Deciding the
best way to learn was by practicing
it, American Legionnaires began,
in 1935, gathering teenage repre-
sentatives together for a few days
each summer in a citizenship train-
ing program on the processes of
city, county and state government.
As the program succeeded and
spread throughout the United
States, the American Legion Auxil-
iary began a similar program for
girls. Girls State was authorized in
1937-38, and is now established in
50 departments in our nation.
South Dakota Girls State was
founded in 1947. From an enroll-
ment of 117 girls in 1947, Girls
State has grown to its present en-
rollment of over 480 girls.
The annual programs have a
two-fold purpose. First, to better
help youth understand and appre-
ciate the American system of gov-
ernment and way of life including
the rights and responsibilities of
citizenship. Secondly, to give a bet-
ter knowledge of the fundamental
principles of government within
the State of South Dakota. These
objectives are sought by the estab-
lishment of a mythical 51st State of
Union, comprised of counties and
cities, giving young men and
women actual experience in control
and operation of these units of gov-
ernment. The American Legion
and the Auxiliary want the young
people of South Dakota to under-
stand the problems of government,
as well as how it functions.

The Philip Horizons program
was revisited in a spring meeting
Tuesday, April 2.
Kari ONeill, community devel-
opment field specialist, is heading
an evaluation of the program in the
state. Its been fun to listen to
what is happening with the differ-
ent communities, said ONeill.
Most of the meeting was a recap
of the new improvements, activities
and faces that have become part of
what Philip is today since the Hori-
zons program began in the commu-
nity. The catch phrase is capital;
what the community has as its
basis and can reap interest and
dividends from today and in the fu-
ture. Not everything may have a
direct correlation to the community
building program of Horizons, but
the ripple effects of the program
are numerous.
Some of the capital that meeting
attendees from Philip listed often
overlapped in different categories.
Political capital could include in-
volvement of citizens who may not
have become such involved commu-
nity members. The city council,
county commissioners and board of
education all have some new mem-
bers in recent years.
Social capital includes the Hot
Summer Nights gatherings. The fi-
nancial area includes the Financial
University classes offered to area
residents. Culturally, the Scotty
Philip Park north of the courthouse
is under improvement, a park be-
hind the Senechal is being planned,
the highway between Philip and
Fort Pierre is now named the
James Scotty Philip Highway, a
Scotty Philip documentary has
been filmed, and a community
walking trail is in the planning
stages.
One specific problem brought to
light when Horizons first began in
Philip was the need for more day
care. With more such businesses
now in the area, that is no longer a
problem.
I think weve added value to our
community through all of these,
said Mary Burnett. About the new
leadership and the people who can
help get others ideas turned into
projects, Even if we arent the
right people, we can encourage,
and direct them to the right peo-
ple, said Burnett.
ONeill concluded the survey
part of the Horizons meeting by
stating that booklets will be made
of all the Horizons community,
highlighting each ones accomplish-
ments.
The remainder of the time con-
cerned the projected work on the
Scotty Philip Park. A volunteer
work day, mostly for planting, is
scheduled for May 18. Stone facing
is planned for the pedestal that will
hold the bronze statue of Scotty
Philip. According to Burnett, the
project has been granted a six-
month extension on a Deadwood
Historical Grant. Some area resi-
dents have offered memorial
money to the Horizons group to see
projects through. Cards are being
made for people who would like to
give to the group in memory of a
friend or loved one.
Philip Horizons progress recapped
The board filled up quickly with accomplishments seen in the Philip area since
the Horizons project began. Not everything is a direct result of Horizons, but its
ripple effect and a variety of capital needed to continue the growing was dis-
cussed. Shown is Kari ONeill, community development field specialist, trying to
keep up with the attendees listing different community accomplishments over
the last few years. Photo by Del Bartels
Whatever form it is in, it is still moisture. The snowstorm that closed roads, minimized downtown business, postponed
meetings and canceled school left a lot of the white form of much-needed moisture in the region. Shown is the temporary
pile at the south end of Center Avenue made by city crews as they worked to clear off Philip streets.
Let it snow ... and rain ... and sleet
School make
up day
According to Haakon School
District 27-1 Superintendent
Keven Morehart, the make
up day for the storm day of
April 9 will be this Friday,
April 12. School will follow
its regular hours. There will
be NO kindergarten class
on that day.

Lookin Around by Syd Iwan
So, now youre not only a drug
runner but also a tax man, she
said. The postmaster was just
couching in accusatory and deroga-
tory terms a fairly innocent activ-
ity. I was, at the time, picking up
the mail for some neighbors, and it
contained two packages from a
pharmacy that rattled and were
obviously some pills. A third was
from an accounting firm and, at
this time of year, could be assumed
to be a tax return that needed to be
signed and forwarded to our dear
friends at the Internal Revenue
Service. Yep, I replied. Thats
me. No use denying it, no matter
how bad it sounded. What shed
said was true although it wasnt
anything illegal or even reprehen-
sible.
She was, of course, just getting
back at me for a zinger Id deliv-
ered to her a few days earlier.
When I got the mail that day, it
contained a notice saying I had a
package that was too big for the
box. I duly presented the notice at
the desk only to find my package
already sitting there ready to be
picked up. Our postmaster had
seen me coming when I came
through the door and knew I had a
package Id want to get. She got it
ready before I asked for it. I had
no idea you were that efficient, I
said in mock surprise. This remark
insinuated that efficiency was not
normally obvious in that place to
the casual observer. Hey! she ob-
jected as if Id delivered a terrible
insult, but she knew better since
she was smiling at the time.
Such back and forth trading of
insults is quite common among
friends. It is just an interesting
substitute for more normal conver-
sation that might otherwise begin,
And how are you today? or Nice
day isnt it? Young people are par-
ticularly adept at this mock-insult
give and take. On TV the other
day, I heard one teenager saying to
another, Your village just called.
Theyre missing an idiot. Another
young gal said to her older brother,
Youre lying. I can tell by the stu-
pid smile on your face. The
brother had a good comeback,
though. He said, I always have
this stupid smile on my face.
Ive even heard someone say
something like, Please take this to
the garage and try not to trip over
your own feet on the way. The last
part of this request is obviously not
necessary and apt to bring an ob-
jection from the supposed carrier of
whatever is supposed to be carried.
I read a similar thing the other day
in a picture of a musical staff
where the key signature was being
changed to six flats. Most of us pi-
anists arent overly fond of playing
in six flats because one of those is
C-flat which isnt a black key as
most flats are, but another white
key which is normally just called B
instead of C-flat. It can be hard to
remember. Anyway, in the picture,
there were the normal notations
for speed and volume along with
the instruction to Play without
griping about the key. This is
probably good advice, but it wont
take very well with me. I always
grumble around when I see a key
change to six flats. Three or four
flats or sharps are all fine and well
or even five if completely neces-
sary. Six of either seems excessive.
When I was a kid, I sometime
got to spend an afternoon with my
cousin on the neighboring ranch.
He was sort of my hero since he
was handsome and always happy
and kind. He would come take my
sister and me swimming some-
times, and once he gave me a
puppy that Id seen at his place
and taken a liking to. It was a
grand pet for a lot of years. Any-
way, if some of his friends were
around, they would good-naturedly
insult each other with some of the
worst-sounding phrases imagina-
ble. Paul had been in the Navy and
had quite a vocabulary. Coming
from a fairly protected and inno-
cent background, I sometimes had
no idea what on earth they were
talking about. Some of the phrases
didnt register with me for a num-
ber of years. Still, I enjoyed the
give and take although it never oc-
curred to me to use such language
myself. Hearing them banter
around was somewhat enjoyable,
however, since it made me feel sort
of grown up.
By the way, dont you have any-
thing better to do than sitting
around reading this drivel? Well, I
certainly hope not. I would just as
soon you keep on reading since I
like writing and hope to continue
doing so for awhile. Ill be back
next week so you can read on,
drivel or otherwise.

Growing tired ... by Del Bartels
When I was young, I was opinionated to the point of being hot
headed. Friends let me blow off steam for awhile, knowing that I would
then cool down and again be as supposedly as rational as I ever could
be. And, I have to admit, I had fun arguing for arguments sake. It
might be hereditary. I recall, one late night, groggily nodding while lis-
tening to my dad and uncles arguing politics. I noticed Dad, who was
leaning against the kitchen counter with a cup of coffee in his hand,
was smirking. I came fully awake, realizing that Dad had, probably on
purpose, nonchalantly switched sides in the argument and was enjoy-
ing the situation while everyone else was unknowingly switching sides
just to keep the argument going.
Dads humor was a cover for his seriousness. He used to say, if some-
one blows smoke in your face, it really might be accidental or such a
habitual aggression that they would unknowingly do it to their own
mother. But, if you bring it to their attention and they still do it, then
they have purposefully, flat out insulted you. I never saw my dad in a
fight, but I did once witness a huge, half drunk, fellow Homestake
miner growl at whoever was behind him, and turned to see my dad.
The wannabe brawler immediately apologized and left, leaving my dad,
my brother and myself to continue playing pool.
My brother, working on a car engine alongside Dad, once zapped his
hand on the battery. After a loud tirade of cussing, he noticed my dads
glare, who quietly asked What? After slowly repeating each and every
word while looking Dad in the face, he didnt swear again for weeks.
Arguing, blowing cigarette smoke, swearing or growling for a fight
you dont obviously and intentionally insult someone else.
I wish I could have seen, rather than just heard about, a social func-
tion (Moose Lodge, maybe), where some men were bantering and one
used the phrase son of a _____. The mother of the recipient of this
comment was actually in hearing range. I hear that this elderly lady,
from yards away, started browbeating the man who had done the pub-
lic swearing, and she ended up making a big show of slapping him as
she cried and demanded why he was calling her a _____. He didnt dare
strike an old woman, especially one he just insulted. The story goes
that she publicaly laid into her grown son for allowing her to be called
that, then she laid into all the other men there for allowing such lan-
guage. The surrounding men were at the social event with their wives,
and some with their own elderly parents. They cowered away from the
woman. The story went on that the mens wives and all the rest of the
women in town considered the woman a hero.
I am growing older and often feel tired. I cant change others. But, I
can try to soften myself, calm my nature for arguing, and be more polite
about anything that might insult others. I have caught myself walking
away, envying the gall and heroism of an elderly woman.
To the Editor:
By April 1991, the drought
across the country had taken a se-
vere toll. Stock dams and reser-
voirs were greatly depleted due to
little rain, warm weather and
heavy draws. In fact, Pactola
Reservoir was 47 feet below capac-
ity in the spring of 1991. A local
meteorologist even said that they
estimated it would take 10 years of
above normal precipitation to com-
pletely replenish what had been
lost.
Something happened though in
that spring which changed all this.
Church members, pastors and
everyone concerned about the situ-
ation gathered together from all
over the region for prayer meetings
asking the Lord to send rain again
... and send rain He did.
By November of that year all the
watering holes, stock dams and in
particular Pactola Dam were back
to near capacity.
Now, we recognize that we live in
what is considered a semi-arid cli-
mate here in these parts. If it
werent it would look like Wiscon-
sin, eastern Iowa, Illinois or Ohio.
All lovely places mind you, but they
arent the high plains that we love.
We live here for a reason. We ap-
preciate the wide-open spaces, the
people that wave at you as you
drive by including complete
strangers, the safe, quiet communi-
ties scattered across these plains.
It's a good place to live. But coming
with the territory is a less than de-
sirable amount of predictable rain-
fall. Its a dry climate, so we take
the good years with the bad years
hoping and knowing from experi-
ence that after enough time it will
turn around. But, there are times
like these when hope seems to
dry up and wither too, so we turn
to the one thing we know has al-
ways worked before. Prayer.
I believe we plains people out
here respect the power of prayer so
much, because we so often realize
our lives depend up on it.
So, when the people of God con-
vene, cry out, confess sin and con-
certedly beseech the Lord for a mir-
acle, He hears from heaven and
heals their land.
The time has come to do that
again. Perhaps we should more
often, but thats a discussion to be
had another day. For now, we must
worry about the day at hand.
This coming Saturday, April 13,
at 7:00 p.m in Midland at the high
school gymnasium there will be an
area wide prayer gathering. We are
coming together to lift up our
prayers as one voice, just as we
have done in years past, and ask
the Lord to send forth the rains.
It was true for years past, and it
will be true this year as well. Lord,
Letter to the Editor
The Catalyst Clubs Good Neigh-
bor annual banquet will be held
this year on Saturday, April 20, at
the Philip High School gymnasium
at 6:00 p.m.
This will be the 33rd year for the
banquet, which honors good
neighbors for caring for their fel-
low man through their good deeds.
Nominations are made by the dues-
paying members of the club.
The 2013 honorees are Mike and
Marcia West, Philip, Robert Young,
Union Center, and Wayne Davis,
Wall.
The Catalyst Club consists of
members from the surrounding
urban and rural areas, including
Philip, Wall, New Underwood,
Rapid City, Caputa, Elm Spings,
Owanka, Red Owl and Hill City.
The membership is not limited to
these areas. In fact, one of the goals

Masons Lodge growing
Philip Masonic Lodge #153 is one of the fastest growing lodges in South Dakota.
During its March meeting, six of its Fellowcraft members were raised to Master
Masons. New initiates first are brought into Freemasonry as Entered Apprentices,
then work through the level of Fellowcraft. With additional meetings as needed
to initiate new members and to promote ongoing projects such as the South
Dakota Child Identification Program, the Philip Lodge normally meets the third
Wednesday of each month. Shown, back row, from left, are Matt Arthur, Milesville,
Lincoln Smith, Philip, and Tim Saftner, Kadoka. Front: Frank Beaver Scott, Duke

Winter Wheat Status Update
A month ago, this column ad-
dressed the apparent lack of win-
terkill over much of the winter
wheat growing area in South
Dakota, as well as concerns about
drought and vernalization. Based
on observations and reports from
several farmers, agronomists and
crop consultants, the lack of win-
terkill seems to be holding true as
soil temperatures are raising to
where seeds are found to be germi-
nating, or seeds already germi-
nated continuing to grow.
For the most part, this is also
lowering the concern about the
crop vernalizing, as the germina-
tion process began early enough
for much of the crop to go through
the required period of time at soil
temperatures low enough to do so.
For much of the state however,
the lack of soil moisture continues
to be a concern. Many areas re-
ceived moderate amounts of snow,
and some a little rain, which was
enough to provide good soil mois-
ture from a few inches to a foot
deep or more. Given the low water
requirement of the wheat plants at
this early stage, this will be
enough for them to get a start and
grow for a few weeks, but addi-
tional moisture is needed soon.
Some areas, such as west of Pierre,
have received very limited mois-
ture over the winter, maybe
enough to begin the germination
process and allow it to vernalize,
but little enough that some
seeds/sprouts are molding.
A number of winter wheat fields
in south-central South Dakota
were evaluated on April 4, and al-
though very little growth was seen
above ground, sprouts were found
beneath the soil surface, and
would be expected to emerge in a
few days. Fields in central and
northern South Dakota, with snow
cover until recently, and lower soil
temperatures, will certainly be be-
hind this progress. Although many
winter wheat fields look dismal,
time, and hopefully rain, could
make a big difference.
As discussed in an earlier col-
umn, the dominant component in
wheat yield is the number of heads
per unit area. You obviously wont
be able to know how many tillers
each plant will produce at this
stage, but a good plant population
to have is 14 to 15 or more plants
per square foot. If the stand is rel-
atively uniform across the field (a
minimum of blank areas), stands
as low as five to six plants per
square foot can produce nearly 70
percent of maximum yield if man-
aged properly.
Before destroying a winter
wheat field, certainly contact your
crop insurance agent. Even if an
adjuster assigns a yield value to
the field, you may want to weigh
the pros and cons of abandoning
the field for another use. The
prospect of successfully raising an-
other crop will be highly depend-
ent on rainfall. Producers may
want to consider planting addi-
tional forage crops into less than
adequate winter wheat stands in
hopes of producing hay, which
could be in high demand.
Particularly for any field that is
subject to wind erosion, such as
fallow fields, or if the previous crop
was soybeans, field peas, sunflow-
ers, corn cut for silage or hay, etc.;
it would be beneficial to plant
something, maybe a cover crop,
rather than leave it bare.

The SDSU Cottonwood Field
Station has recently undergone
major renovations and is staged to
become a prominent community
and agricultural resource for the
tri-county area. The South Dakota
State University Extension Service
and Agriculture Experiment Sta-
tion Office will hold three meetings
to gather community input con-
cerning public awareness of, and
ideas to increase the utilization of
the Cottonwood Field Station.
Each forum will be held from 5:30
to 8:30 p.m. with a meal provided
at:
Jiggers Restaurant, Kadoka,
April 30th
Wall Community Center, Wall,
May 1st
The Steakhouse, Philip, May
2nd
Community involvement is key
to the success of these forums. At-
tendees will be asked to participate
in small group discussions and pro-
vide input and perspectives about
the station through questions pre-
sented by the moderator. Our goals
for these forums are:
1. Build a relationship between
the community and the station
2. Increase visibility and rele-
vance of station functions
3. Improve integration of the sta-
tion into the community
4. Better utilize station resources
for community events
Please plan to attend one of the
forums and let your ideas be heard.
We value your input! Please RSVP
on or before April 23 to Paulette
Morse (605-394-1722 or paulette.
morse@sdstate.edu).
Share your
input and
be heard!

Rachel and Darin Buhmann,
Wall had a baby daughter born
Saturday, April 6, 2013, at Rapid
City Regional Hospital and named
her Chessa Char. She weighed 7
lbs., 1.6 oz., and 19 in. long. She
joins sister, Bria, almost six, and
brother, Breckin three years old.
Proud grandparents are Becky and
Roger Buhmann, Rapid City, great-
grandma, Janie Kennedy, Philip.
Grandparents, Clayton and Char-
lene Kjerstad, Wall, greatgrandma,
Beatrice Ramsey, Spearfish, and
great-grandma, Mary Kjerstad,
Quinn.
Bria and Breckin stayed with
their Buhmann grandparents
while Rachel and Darin were at the
hospital Saturday until Monday
when they all went home to Wall.
Here is a yarn about my brother,
Richard Palmer, born in 1904, in
the Grindstone country. Richard
would break and train horses for
the neighbors. He had a certificate
from the Beery School of Horse-
manship. He did trick riding and
roping at rodeos and had a saddle
with loops so he could hang down
behind while the horse was going
or swing down and under and up
the otherside. He had a tall roan
gelding named Emma which had a
wonderful gait, so pleasant to ride.
Richard also had a horse called
Pronto good at fast turns and
stops. He also had one called
Midget which he gave to our
mother. It was not so tall to get on.
Then there was Clarissa. I fell off
Clarissa and she waited for me to
get back on her.
Richard trained a horse named
Jinx for Erma Coleman. Erma
later married Earl Gabriel. Jinx
could jump fences with Erma rid-
ing. He wouldnt stay in his pas-
ture.
Richard had a rodeo clown stunt.
He would have a baby pig in a suit-
case. He would ride into the rodeo
ring and get off his horse, take the
baby pig out of the suitcase and
proceed to fold a large white cloth
into a triangle. Then he tied the
scarf around his neck, put the pig
in the suitcase and rode out. People
expected him to diaper the pig.
(Can you remember when we
folded diapers in a triangle and
pinned them on with safety pins?)
Dear brother Richard!
Limerick by Vivian Hansens
daughter, Carol Marie 1943-1990.
One time the priests fairest
daughter, went ice skating upon
the water. The ice was quite thin
and so she fell in. So Buddy, he
jumped in and got her.
There once was a piggy named
Nell who thought her diet quite
swell, she ate corn on the cob and
skim milk by the gob. And she was
packed by Morrell.
There once was a big tall pole.
Whose bottom was stuck in a hole.
It reached to the sky. It was really
high. But the bottom was ate by a
mole.
Over Easter, many Somerset
Court residents went out to be with
their families. Many residents had
guests. Floy Olson had the com-
pany of her daughter, Rita Bor-
deux, McLaughlin. Rita works in
the schools in Ft. Yates, N.D. and
drives 30 miles to work. She is the
county nurse.
Joanne Manlove had the com-
pany of her son at breakfast on
Easter morning.
Pat Staley is back at Somerset
court. It seems like she was gone a
long time.
My niece, Wanda, and husband,
Ed Artz, phoned to say Happy
Easter. They were expecting the
company of Wandas niece, Karen
Meyer, Tacoma, Wash.
Ron Bailie has joined his wife,
Marilyn, as a resident at Somerset
Court.
On March 31, Easter Sunday,
the Somerset Court chapel was
decorated with big blooming Easter
lillies. We had Paul Lupkes as vis-
iting pastor. His wife, Gladys,
brought cookies for all of us. Paul,
now retired, taught religion and
Bible studies at South Dakota
School of Mines and Technology for
over 25 years.
Jack Humke chose some appro-
priate hymns for singing. Thank
you all for giving us a church serv-
ice. My favorite hymn, Christ the
Lord is Risen Today, has some
fancy hallalujahs, which Jack dealt
with quite well.
On Easter Sunday, Barbara
Hansen came to see her mother-in-
law. She brought roses and a tray
of deviled egs with avocado. Thank
you, Barbara. Vivians grand-
daughter, Sheridan Hansen, and
children, Tiger and Cecelia, came
for lunch. Thank you for your visit.
I was pleased to receive an email
from Dale Hansens oldest step-
daughter, Kitty Nix, in California.
She emailed on March 30, just to
keep in touch. Dale was my hus-
band, Virgil Hansens brother. Dale
passed away last year.
Virgil Hansen and Vivian
Palmer were married on April 1,
1939, in Ft. Pierre. My mother
bought my wedding dress for $4.98.
My brother bought me a bouquet of
sweet peas for 50. I bought my
own wedding ring for $30. We were
married for over 50 years. Virgil
passed away December 30, 1989.
Monday, April 1, 2013, we had
an extra ration of table games and
we ventured into the sudoku board
game. Addie and Sandi were will-
ing to try it. The game will be there
on the piano for those who wish to
play it. Wanda and Ed gave it to
me for Christmas. Thanks, kids.
Eileen Tenold had a visitor,
David Placek, over Easter week-
end, but he had to leave early to get
back to work. He clears away dead
trees as part of his work, near Lem-
mon.
My son, Hans P. Hansen, sent a
handpainted Easter card for Vi-
vian and all at Somerset Court.
The verse it has is, For by grace
you have been saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves; it is the
Gift of God. Ephesians 2:8. Thank
you, Hans P.
Ken Monette reported that he
had a wonderful Easter out at his
sons house with lots of kids
around.
Somerbody got the Somerset
Court computer lab printer to work
again. Thank you so much.
My niece, Alma (Hulett)
Schilling wrote that her husband,
Harry Schilling, is recovering from
carotid artery surgery, as well as
hernia surgery. Her son, Paul, is
carrying on work although he is in
remission from a form of
melanoma. We wish them restored
health. Alma enclosed a clipping
from the Aberdeen News, with a
photo of Alma with her plaque hon-
oring her for 10 years of volunteer
service with the foster grandpar-
ents program. Congratulations,
Alma, I am proud of you. Alma en-
closed the March/April issue of
The Upper Room magazine,
which I left on the table in the
Somerset Court activity garden.
Thank you, Alma.
My sons, David K. Hansen, Ft.
Pierre, and M.R. Hansen, Rapid
City, spent Easter weekend at the
Don and Delores Denke ranch at
Pavillion, Wyo., where they and
Rocky High Elk went to make fence
and visit, too, of course.
Tuesday, April 2, at Somerset
Court, we had bingo with winners
Betty Downen, blackout, Helen
Amundson, twice, Sherman Eller-
ton, Marcella Kraft, Mary Lou Pe-
ters, Lila Fiest, Annette Hansen,
and Addie Rorvig. After bingo, we
were treated to a snack of cookies
and coffee. A table of whist and a
table of quiddler were played in the
activity garden. M.R. Hansen came
for scrabble and we had a tied
game at 235.
Carol Johnson, who used to live
at Somerseet Court, has taken up
residence here again. We are glad
you are back.
Did I mention that out at my
daughters place by Pavillion, Wyo.,
(the Don Denkes) Angela Denke
(Mrs. Richard Denke) has multiple
talents? She used to carry mail way
up to DuBois, and now she works
at a pharmacy in Riverton. She can
also sew up burlap potato bags and
attaches zippers with a hand held
sewing machine. Potatoes are a big
crop at the Denke farm. The price
is around $10 for 50 pounds.
Thank you to my friend and
daughter, Vinnies friend, Nanci
Adams, Watsonville, Calif., who
sent a beautiful Easter and spring
season card with news that she has
had a snug winter. She looks for-
ward to carrying her birding
classes this spring.
People are saying that it is nice
out, maybe I will go out and feel for
myself. I havent been outdoors for
many days. Somerset Court has en-
joyed several large pots of Easter
lillies, one has over 25 blooms, one
has 15 blooms, and one has 10.
Marg Self had company over
Easter vacation, her friend, Tracy
Nyhus, Bismarck, N.D., who is
moving to Maricopa, Ariz. Also
with Tracy was her daughter-in-
law, Shiela Hruxness, Mobridge,
and Dana Burrell Tompkins, Rapid
City.
The March 29, 2013, Rapid City
Journal had a pleasant article
about chickens in the backyard.
Makes me homesick for a few hens.
Thinking of Lisa Denkes two hens
back in Bakersfield.

self.
May 5, 2013, is the big
fundraiser for the special olympics.
Residents may bake and contribute
to the bake sale.
Be sure to sign out when you
leave the Somerset Court building.
This is important because, some-
one may need to find you. Also, the
sign out book is strategic in times
of evacuation. So that Kammi can
check off those who are here, and
know who is signed out. True, this
info is in the computer, but in
emergency, electricity may be off.
The April fire drill will be on the
evening shift. Staff may not give
out information about residents
without express permission.
At Somerset Court on Wednes-

Thank you to Darlene Baye of
Hansen Court in Philip, for your
good newsy note and check. Thank
you to my nephew, Leonard Meyer,
Greenfield, Ind., who sent a nice
article from the Indianapolis Sun-
day Star newspaper about Gene
Stratton-Porter, a favorite writer of
my mothers. She wrote many
books such as The White Flag,
Freckles, A Girl of the Limer-
lost, and Laddie. I have a collec-
tion of her books, 13 in all, which
includes Jesus of the Emerald,
The Song of the Cardinal, and
Her Fathers Daughter. Gene
Stratton-Porter moved to Califor-
nia and became the owner of a film
productions company. Laddie was
one of her successful movies. When
Wanda and I visited at Leonard
and Jean Meyers home at Indi-
anapolis, we went to visit one of
Gene Stratton-Porters homes
which has been preserved as a mui-
seum and historic site.

Greetings from cold, snowy, blus-
tery northeast Haakon County. We
are in the middle of a spring snow-
storm as I write this the moisture
is so very welcome, but all the cat-
tlemen are naturally concerned
about the welfare of the young
calves. This blizzard is a blessing
and a curse, but everyone I talked
to is so thankful for the moisture.
Randy quotes his Grandpa Rube
Neuhauser as saying, "If you don't
lose some calves to a spring bliz-
zard, you may not have enough
grass to get your cows through the
summer." So the guys are battling
the elements, busting through the
snowdrifts, checking on the live-
stock, hoping to save as many
calves as they can. But they are
also looking forward to warmer
temperatures later this week, hop-
ing this moisture will soak into the
soil and maybe run some water in
the dams.
The television stations have a
running list of all the schools, busi-
nesses, offices, health care facili-
ties, etc. that are closed today be-
cause of inclement weather. But
this is certainly no day off for the
cattlemen. They are out there in
the cold, wind-driven snow, putting
themselves in jeopardy in order to
take good care of the livestock.
Where are the animal rights folks
with their cameras? (I guess that is
probably enough on that topic.)
I spent a lot of time during the
past week getting the yards raked
at my house and the house Randy's
parents lived in. Thank goodness
that chore is done for another year!
I got my first blisters of the year, as
well as a little sunburn on my face
it really felt like spring for a few
days! I scattered some grass seed
prior to the snow, so hopefully it
will fill in some of the thin spots
caused by the hot dry weather we
had last year. Several of the peren-
nial flowers are up, as well as the
rhubarb and the winter onions. The
asparagus spears aren't above
ground yet, but we're hoping for a
good crop. I gave the bed a good
soaking so it could get off to a good
start.
As I read through my notes, it
seemed that everyone I talked to
yesterday was so excited about the
prospect of moisture that seemed
to be the major theme of all conver-
sations.
Nels and Dorothy Paulson were
in Murdo Tuesday to have some
work done on their vehicle. It
sounds like they needed some lights
replaced. One of the lights was
taken out by hail, and one was
taken out by the trusty utility vehi-
cle. It sounds like Dorothy may
have been in command of the utility
vehicle at the time oh, well.
Thursday, they were in Pierre for
supplies, and Sunday Dorothy at-
tended church.
Dick and Gene Hudson had a qui-
eter week at home. Gene has been
busy working in her yard, and Dick
has been busy with livestock
chores. I stopped at their place Sat-
urday to get some farm fresh eggs,
and Gene showed me all the young
seedlings that she and grandson
Noah have started in preparation
for the vegetable garden. I noticed
tomatoes, peppers and cabbage
plants, and they looked very
healthy. As I got ready to leave,
Gene gave me a houseplant it was
propogated from a plant they re-
ceived in memory of their daughter,
Lisa. So I will treasure the plant,
and it will remind me of Lisa!
Thank you, Gene! Dick and Gene
attended church Sunday.
Billy and Arlyne Markwed trav-
eled to Midland Saturday to visit
with her brother, Ronnie Sammons,
and his wife, Emily. Sunday, Billy
and Arlyne helped at an auction
north and west of Faith. She said
the location of the auction was only
about 50 miles from Hettinger,
N.D.
Coreen Roseth was in Rapid City
last Wednesday. She met her sister
there, and the ladies spent the day
shopping and visiting. Coreen spent
the night at her sister's home in
Hermosa and returned home
Thursday. Coreen has been busy
with projects at her house, and
when I talked to her Monday, she

Release time cleanup
This evening as I set forth to get
the news written, the temperature
is falling, snow is blowing around
and the rain of the day is turning
to ice.
Visitors at our place Monday,
April 1, were Tony Harty to give
me his news and Phyllis Word
stopped by to show off her new
perm and cut.
Tuesday after picking up his
mail, Tony Harty went to Philip for
the livestock sale to watch the sale
of cow/calf pairs from the Herber
ranch that his brother, Bernard,
and sons were selling and also got
to visit with his sister, Monica and
Pat Weaver as well as enjoyed see-
ing many folks from the Milesville
area that were at the sale. Going to
the auction can be a social time as
well as all business. In the late af-
ternoon, Tony attended the junior
high track meet in Kadoka.
Don Moody finally got all his dri-
ver's license paperwork together
and was in Kadoka to take the test
and get his license Tuesday. He
and Vi stopped for fuel and a quick
lunch in Kadoka. They had a nice
visit with Jerry Patterson while
there and the local guys there for
afternoon coffee. Earlier at the feed
store, they had fun visiting with
Dan Oldenberg, Philip, who has
cattle north of Kadoka and he was
going to pay a visit soon to Don and
Vi's to check out some harnesses
that are in the barn yet.
Tuesday, I went to Philip to the
dentist. The jaw problem was much
improved. Some say the only prob-
lem with it was I yackety yacked
too much, but I would never own
up to that. Novicain does wonders
and a possible problem was cleared
away. I visited Berdyn Parsons and
dropped off a book Roy Stout had
written and my cousin, Marilyn
Larson Mizer, had given me. Bill
was in Philip for cards and was
going to bowl for the first time in
three years. Wendell Buxcel picked
me up and took me over, in case
Bill needed a driver, but then hav-
ing a scorekeeper didnt hurt ei-
ther. Bonnie Moses and Shar
Moses came to watch bowling and
visit. A 143 average isnt too bad,
but the next day I thought Bill
would need a walker to get going.
Whats that they say about no
pain, no gain?
Sandee Gittings was a sub
bowler Wednesday morning before
work and was in Midland on busi-
ness Wednesday afternoon. George
went to Henry Hanson's to get cat-
tle cake at the same time.
Wednesday morning early, Tony
Harty was on the road to Valen-
tine, Neb., to visit his sister,
Theresa Hockenbary, and family.
Theresa was enjoying having a lot
of the family there and supervising
activities. Tony said he and
Theresa had several hours of good
visiting before she got tired out.
I caught a ride to bowling with
Lila Whidby Wednesday morning
and was a sub bowler for Joy
Neville. Selley Seager, Sutton,
Neb., arrived in Kadoka that
evening and spent the night.
Don and Vi Moody arrived at
their Rapid Valley home late
Thursday afternoon. Vi had two ap-
pointments Friday morning, all be-
fore noon, so they took off for the
rest of the afternoon for a beautiful
drive into the Black Hills and ar-
rived in Deadwood for the special
shrimp dinner that draws a big
crowd involving a slot competitive
tournament.
Thursday morning, Shelley went
to Philip to drop off some things
then went on to Rapid City to have
lunch with friend Lori Snellgrove
and friends in celebration of Loris
birthday. She picked up her grand-
son, Ryder, and spirited him away
from his folks for a visit. They at-
tended the birthday party for Ann
Moses in Philip at the senior citi-
zens center and Ryder got to have
fun with his Uncle Pat and Aunt
Julie Seager. Bill and I also at-
tended the party, then went out for
supper at Quinn. Shelley and
Ryder spent the night here in
Kadoka.
Tony Harty went to coffee after
getting the mail on Friday and in
the afternoon visited with his
niece, Kathy Brown, and Dale
Koehn.
Friday evening, Ralph and
Cathy Fiedler and a few gals and
spouses from work met downtown
Sturgis to celebrate one of the
nurses retirement. Cathy had
worked with her since starting at
the nursing home. They enjoyed
supper and visiting.
Friday, Tony Harty was out for
coffee and visited at our place. That
evening, he went to Philip to the
steak out and enjoyed seeing a lot
of folks he knew.
Folks cleared out of our house
Friday morning. Shelley and Ryder
went to Philip for the day. Bill went
to cards in the afternoon, and in
the evening Lee Vaughan came by
and we did Civil Air Patrol reports
then I caught a ride to Philip and
met Bill to attend the steak out and
bingo and a surprise birthday
party for Bonnie Moses. Cori Bar-
ber and Zack Seager came down
from Rapid for the celebration and
they spent the night at our place
with Ryder and their two pit bulls,
Ruka and Roudy, who are such a
joy to have around except when
there is mud. We had about 1/10th
of rain during the night and Satur-
day morning Roudy came in with
major mud balls for feet but the fe-
male didnt have any mud. Shelley
was an overnight guest at the
Grenz home.
Sandee Gittings was in Kadoka
Friday morning getting her drivers
license renewed and stopped to
visit Bill and Marsha.
Saturday, Cathy Fiedler rode to
Rapid with Lynette, Tessa, Han-
nah and a friend, Ayden. Hannah,
a friend of Tessas, who lives in
Rapid met them so she could visit
with Tessa. Tessa had to find a
dress for her church confirmation,
which is in May. In the evening,
Cathy met three ladies downtown
for supper. Cathy worked with two
of the gals and the other two ladies
are good friends, so once a month
they meet for supper and catch up
on each others news just to keep in
touch. Sunday afternoon, the show-
ers moved in and they had two real
nice rains in Sturgis.
Vi Moody wrote: "We're sad-
dened to hear that Linda Long
Kramer, formerly from Philip,
passed away at Tucson, Ariz., Sat-
urday night following a very seri-
ous illness. Linda graduated from
Philip High School with the class of
1963 and many in her class were in
touch by email during her illness.
We extend our sincere sympathy to
the family and our thoughts and
prayers are with you during this
time of sorrow.
Springtime is in the air and the
temperatures have been so balmy
it's like being in a resort area right
here at home!
Don and Vi Moody returned to
the ranch Saturday taking the sce-
nic drive through Famingdale and
lots of baby calves actually were
seen all the way from Rapid Valley
down Wasta hill breaks. It has
been a good year for the baby live-
stock so far this year. Vi spent a
great deal of Saturday evening out-
side enjoying a long walk and keep-
ing the puppies away from the cor-
ral for awhile which has calving
cows near. The fun part of that
walk was a close encounter with
some wild turkeys over the hill to
the north and the puppies decided
to have a little fun. The turkeys ran
and made a successful attempt to
become airborne after what seemed
to need a long run-way. I guess in
flight terms they would say
heavy loaded. They landed with
beautiful wing spread only a short
distance away so that was good
flight practice. Vi returned back to
the house to have a good visit with
Marsha and a short visit with
Ryder Ray. His attention span was
a bit more on finding Easter eggs
and getting great grandma to play
with him.
Saturday morning, Tony Harty
was out for breakfast and other-
wise spent a quiet day. That night,
the prom was held here in Kadoka
and the young people cleaned up
right nicely in their sparkly clothes
and special hairdos. A lot of activity
across the street from Tonys in the
auditorium with the grand march,
dancing and all the grand cere-
mony of prom night. Were proud
that all the youth had a safe and
fun time.
Shelley Seager arrived in
Kadoka early morning and got
Ryder up and going. Zack, Cori,
Ryder and the dogs went to Philip
to visit at the home of Casey Sea-
ger, then we all met at the bowling
alley and everyone bowled two
games except Bill. I slipped by the
senior citizens center and wished
Lucille Emerson a happy 90th
birthday She and Keith were so
happy to have a lot of relatives
from quite a distance away there
for the event as well as so many
friends.
Zack, Cori, Ryder and the dogs
came by and it was such a nice af-
ternoon Frisbee was played in the
yard by Bill, Shelley, Zack and
Cori. We watched movies and gen-
erally enjoyed the antics of Ryder.
Sunday night, Don and Vi Moody
enjoyed the special country music
extravaganza on the TV. These
shows seem to get bigger and more
elaborate with special lighting af-
fects every show they produce
throughout the year. It's a great
show when you are in the front row
on your wide screen TV.
Tony Harty attended church
Sunday morning, then went out for
dinner. He helped Colby Shuck and
his wife get a vehicle started across
the street from him, their battery
cables werent quite heavy enough
to do the job.
Sunday morning, we were
greeted with fog, pretty thick fog.
The cat doesnt appreciate having
dogs under foot, but the three of
them get along pretty well. Bill and
I were up early and let the dogs
out, then had breakfast out. Others
got up leisurely for breakfast. Don
Moses brought Bonnie over to catch
a ride back to Nebraska. She and
Shelley went by way of Lemoyne to
visit Bonnies friend and family
who has so many health issues,
and gave them a little encourage-
ment. On the way home, they en-
countered heavy rain and wind.
Zack, Cori, Ryder and dogs all re-
turned to Rapid City, it was a very
nice visit.
In the afternoon, I took a birth-
day card to Emma Jarl at the care
center and we had a nice visit, she
was 99. She had quite a day with
her grandsons and great grandchil-
dren Saturday when they took her
to a basketball tournament in
Rapid City then out for supper. She
was still wound up from all the fun
and activity. Phyllis Word visited
here in the afternoon.

We woke up to foggy conditions
this Monday morning. The sky is
overcast. The weather report is for
a sizable amount of wet snow head-
ing our way. According to the
weather map it will cover a large
portion of South Dakota. There was
also talk of strong winds. Hope-
fully, that wont be the case. But,
when you live in South Dakota, you
learn that what you want does not
change what will be. And so, you
learn to be patient and to continue
to pray for that much needed mois-
ture on this parched land. Hope-
fully, that moisture will become a
reality. Life is full of surprises.
Times that are good. Times that
are tough. And all the other times
in between. Tragedies are the
toughest. I never cease to be
amazed and awed, by how differ-
ently folks handle those tragedies.
Do you ever find yourself asking,
What do I want to be when I grow
up? I believe God gifts each one
with different gifts. Its what we do
with those gifts that make us who
we are to become. Oh, my, dont
know just where Im going with
this. Guess I am feeling a bit philo-
sophical. Blame it on the weather,
right?
Jerry and I went for a drive
Wednesday. We headed up the
gravel road north of Midland. A
drive that took us past fields and
pastures. Seeing the extreme dry
conditions of those pastures and
the blow dirt from some of those
fields, caused by strong winds and
drought conditions, made one think
of the dirty 30s ones parents
talked about. We wound up on
Highway. 34. Driving down the hill
toward the Cheyenne River
brought back memories of when
Jerry hauled fuel to Jim Blairs fuel
tank for his irrigation system. Just
before crossing the Cheyenne
bridge there was a road that took
you across the prairie to this trail
to the fuel tank. I went with Jerry
once, and once was enough for me.
On this trail toward that fuel tank,
there was a hill close by on one side
and on the opposite side, and close
by, was the Cheyenne River. The
trail was about a quarter mile, but
seemed longer. I was on the side
close to the river, it had lots of
water. I couldnt look. When the
tank was filled, Jerry then backed
the truck over that trail. You could-
nt go forward as there was a steep
hill. Okay, back to our drive down
Highway 34. We ended up at
Howes Corner. We had a bite to eat
there and had a nice visit with the
folks who own the Howes Store,
Bob and Lavonne Hansen. They
have a post office in that store, as
well. One thing led to another and
we got to talking about the names
of country schools. Mary Kay San-
dal came to get dog food etc., and
so, she got into the country schools
topic. That store is a busy little
place. After a most enjoyable visit
it was time to head for home.
I was visiting with Jenna Finn
by phone this Monday afternoon
and was telling her of our Wednes-
day travels. She said, You would
have gone by my folks place. For
those who dont know, that would
be Gene and Theresa Deuchar. I
told her we had. We also drove by
this country school not far from
their place, the school Jenna told
me she went to. Theres an inter-
esting story concerning this school,
which was the Haakon County
Cheyenne School. As, some of you
know, there were two Cheyenne
Schools. Haakon and Stanley. The
Stanley County School is still
going.
And now, back to my story. A
gal from Montana, Theresa Haugh-
ian, taught her first year at that
Haakon County Cheyenne School.
Gene Deuchar lived on a farm near
that school and it was one of the
country schools he hauled water,
to. Well, one thing led to another
and he took a shine to this teacher
from Montana. They wound up
married, they live on that farm,
raised their family on that farm,
and the teacher from Montana is
now teaching at the Deep Creek
School. Always find it interesting
how one story can lead to another
story. Guess I better get at the
news.
On Good Friday, Lisa Foley of
Wagner and her daughters,
Samantha and Jaycie Geiman, ar-
rived at the Gene and Audrey
Jones home. Saturday, Dackery

braun, and they joined other family
members and friends at a steak-
house for an enjoyable evening.
Sunday was another birthday cele-
bration, with a birthday gathering
for Karels sister, Paula, at a local
restaurant in Rapid City. Their
mom, Goldie Eisenbraun, and
brother and sister-in-law, Ed and
Linda Eisenbraun, were also there.
Cousins Gene and Alma Crosbie

Clarkson Care Center where
Goldie lives for birthday cake and
ice cream and more visiting.
Wednesday, Jan Tolton and
Christine Niedan took Oscar and
Keenan Gonzales to the Rapid City
Regional Airport where they would
broad the plane headed for Califor-
nia. It was kind of tough for Jan to
see that grandbaby leave. Jan and
Jims daughter, Jenna, is still serv-
ing in Afghanistan.
Snowbirds Pat Snook and Mar-
cia Jackson have returned to warm
South Dakota. Some of the high-
lights of the trip were visiting the
old Sant Fe mission church that
has no nails in its circular stair-
way, driving through the rugged
Tonto National Mountains, going
to the Ted DeGrazia Gallery In the
Sun in Tucson (Pat has a collection
of his prints.), driving through the
giant saguaro forest, walking in the
Desert Botanical Gardens, going to
a huge Easter pageant outdoors at
the Mesa Mormon Temple, taking
the light rail to the Heard Museum
in Phoenix, and enjoying the great
music at the Arizona Opry where
the guest artist was Kenny Miller,
Deadwood. They visited many fam-
ily members and friends in the
metro area, Pat's cousin in San Tan
Valley, former sister-in-law and a
nephew in Sun City, Marcia's
cousin in Sun City, stepdaughter
and family in Fountain Hills,
cousin in Apache Junction, Nemecs
and Evans in Mesa. There was a
fun "Haakon County" party at the
home of Erv and DeMaris Nesheim
in Gilbert with around 20 people,
including Jeanne Stahl, Phoenix.
Pat and Marcia spent a few days in
Sedona, houseguests of Pat's
cousin, Pam and Bill. They spent
an afternoon with Dorene Calhoon,
having a chance to see her "tumble-
weed" mini house and the camp-
ground where she works. They also
spent quite a bit of time at the re-
sort where they were living, going
to ceramics and painting classes,
water aerobics, music events, swap
meets, concerts, etc.
On the drive home, they stopped
in Arvada, Colo., spending the
night at the new home of Jerry and
Karen Fenwick. Karen prepared a
delicious Easter dinner which was
also shared with John Fenwick,
who came over to see his sister,
Pat. Sounds like Pat and Marcia
had a fun time. Thanks for sharing,
Pat.
Other snowbirds making it
home to Midland were Jim and
Jessie Root, Ernie and Laurel
Nemec and Bob and Verona Evans.
With the snow predicted to come
starting tonight, they may have
made it back in time to get a taste
of South Dakota winter.
Barbara Jones was in Philip
Friday visiting her mom, Arline
Petoske, at the nursing home. They
enjoyed some interesting entertain-
ment at the nursing home by The
Travelers, Jim and Laura Collins.
They sang those older songs that
folks in a nursing home would
enjoy. They travel the country
singing at nursing homes, schools,
and churches, to name a few. Barb
reported they were very good. Easy
listening.
Our sympathies to the family of
Martina Lindstedt who passed
away April 5 at the age of 80 years
old. Martina was living in the for-
mer home of Bill and Verna Lam-
mon. Martina and her late hus-
band, Richard Lindstedt, had four
children, three boys and one girl.
Her parents were Martin and Jen-
nie Samuelson. Martin served two
terms in the House of Representa-
tives. Martin was a teacher at one
time and was a farmer and
rancher.
Kathy and Micaela, daughters
of the Alice (Donovan) Venner and
the late Dude Donovan, were in the
Midland area one day last week.
They were in Pierre for the 84th
birthday of their mom, Alice. All of
Alices kids were there, but for
Shane, who had recently been
home to see his mom, and had just
started a new job, so was unable to
be there. Kathy and Micaela report
Alice had a good day on her birth-
day, in fact, they said she had had
three good days. That was good to
hear. Best birthday gift she could
have had. That and seeing her
kids. Kathy and Micaela decided to
make a trip down memory lane,
coming to Midland on the Bad
River Road, seeing the school they
had attended, and other points of
interest. Kathy had never been in
the Midland Museum, so Mahlon
Alcock was contacted and opened it
up for them. Mahlon lives in town
and is always willing to open it on
those days it isnt open, for folks
who are interested. Micaela re-
membered painting rooms in the
museum and hanging some of the
tools, etc. It was great seeing Kathy
and Micaela. Their enthusiasm is
catching. They enjoyed visiting and
seeing folks at a local business,
folks they knew from when they
lived in Midland and graduated
from the Midland school.
The Education Fair at the Mid-
land School will be Thursday, April
11. There is a lot going on at that
education fair, with tumbling,
skits, and kids showing parents
and grandparents what they have
been doing in school. There is the
book fair. And dont forget the Mid-
land Community Library soup and
sandwich supper held in the school
dining room from 4-6 p.m. Come
and have a tasty bowl of chili or
chicken noodle soup. As I am writ-
ing my news column it is 8:00 p.m.
shared stories of the Holocaust and
her ancestors. The article goes on
to say that in April of 1973 she was
at the funeral service of her grand-
father at the Methodist church in
Highmore. On his casket was the
Star of David. Mary Jo was a soph-
omore in high school. In the article
it tells that her grandmother said,
Yes, he was a Jew. And so, from
that funeral service Mary Jo began
to learn of her ancestors who died
in the concentration camp called
Sobibor and at Auschwitz. As I
read that article, I thought of
Christopher, Stephanie and myself
seeing the Holocaust Museum at
Washington, D.C. It is humbling.
One cannot even begin to imagine
what those people suffered. The
Capitol Journal has the Dakota
Life story every so often. In Fri-
days paper they will be featuring
more on Mary Jos family titled,
Coming to America: One familys
journey.
As I close my column for this
week, my thoughts are on those
people who suffered the Holocaust.
Ive often said life is a journey. A
journey to places and experiences
we never thought about until they
happened. May God continue to
guide us on this journey called life.
And may we never forget to be
thankful for the gift of His bless-
ings. Have a good week. And con-
tinue to pray for moisture.
this Monday evening. We had some
rain that froze and are now getting
some sleet. We will see what tomor-
row brings weatherwise. From the
sounds of things, it is supposed to
continue into Wednesday. So, we
will see what Thursday brings,
okay?
Senior Citizen Meeting
The senior citizens met at the
senior center on April 1 with nine
members present. President Kan-
dus Woitte called the meeting to
order and led in the flag salute.
The minutes of the March meeting
were read and approved. The trea-
surers report was given. Its time
for dues again. Ruby Huston made
a motion to accept the report.
Jessie Root seconded and the mo-
tion passed.
Three cards had been sent. The
bulletin board was decorated for
April. There was no maintenance.
We will advertise the propane tank
and the pop machine for sale again.
The Foster family will use the cen-
ter for their family reunion in June
if its too hot to use the park. Meet-
ing adjourned for lunch and games.

when I talked to her Monday, she
was in the middle of painting a
bedroom. I need to do some paint-
ing here also, but I haven't gotten
that motivated yet.
Bill and Polly Bruce were in
Pierre Thursday for supplies and
haircuts. They attended church in
Midland Saturday night.
It has been a busy couple of
weeks at Clint and Laura Alle-
man's home. Over Easter weekend
there was a Yost family emergency,
so Laura traveled to Rapid City to
help in any way she could. They did
manage to fit in a quiet Easter with
both sides of the family.
Tuesday, Clint was a pallbearer
at Jerry Alleman's funeral in
Pierre. Laura and Alivya went to
Rapid City and welcomed Chris
Cox home from Afghanistan. Chris
is married to Laura's sister. She
said that although they understand
that it is her brother-in-law's job to
keep returning over seas, it is hard
to watch him come and go so many
times. Friday, Alivya and Laura
went to town to buy a big-girl bed
for little Alivya. Alivya picked out
all the bedding herself, and it
sounded like Laura was very proud
of her selections. One thing has
lead to another, and now it has in-
spired Laura to paint Alivya's
room she hopes to have it com-
plete soon. Sunday, the Allemans
had a quick visit and lunch with
Laura's parents, Randy and Joy
Yost. Laura said they are calving
like crazy at their ranch, and of
course little Alivya loves to see the
baby calves dancing in the pas-
tures. They have what they call
their "Skim" milk cow in the corral
at the house, and Alivya keeps
telling her to "Have a baby!" Alivya
will soon be two years old, so Laura
is planning and preparing for a
birthday party. Alivya sure is grow-
ing up fast! They are truly blessed.
Lee Briggs has been busy plant-
ing spring wheat this moisture
should really make it jump. Lee
and Mary moved a tractor and
planter close to Pierre Saturday, so
they had the opportunity to stop in
for a visit with Lil Briggs. Sunday,
Lee had a couple young cowboys
from the Kadoka area helping sort
some cattle. Granddaughter Cattib-
rie Riggle and her friend, Kelsey
Garber, were also on hand to help.
Thank goodness Cattibrie was com-
ing out from Pierre, because she
was kind enough to pick up some
milk replacer for my bum calves
saved me a trip to town. Aren't
neighbors wonderful? When I went
to retrieve the milk replacer from
Lee and Mary's, I was able to re-
turn the favor by bringing her some
supplies she needed for a baking
project. The snow and bad roads
kept Mary Briggs at the ranch
Tuesday, but fortunately she was
able to work from home.
Shirley Halligan, daughter-in-
law, Lynn Halligan, and grandsons,
Jerin and Krece, went to Omaha
last Friday morning. Saturday
morning, they toured the Durham
Museum which houses all the his-
tory of the railroad in that area in
the totally refurbished Union Sta-
tion. You can board the old trains
and learn all about travel back in

the 1930s and 40s. That afternoon,
they took the kids to the zoo. Sat-
urday evening, they met up with
members of the Pierre Fine Arts
Group and attended "The Lion
King" at the Orpheum Theater.
It was a wonderful production and
they had great seats just a few
rows back from the front. They re-
turned home Sunday, driving
through a little rain around Cham-
berlain.
Lola and Duane Roseth were
supper guests at the home of Larry
and Linda Smith near Philip Sat-
urday evening. Linda and Larry
and several other couples in the
Kadoka and Philip area take turns
hosting dinner parties, and the
group was at the Smith home last
Saturday. It was a delicious meal
and lovely evening.
Max and Joyce Jones traveled to
Vermillion Friday for the funeral of
a longtime friend and fellow East-
ern Star member. Their friend was
84 years old and had battled breast
cancer for over 23 years. It sounds
like she had lived life fully and had
a very positive impact on many
lives. On the way home, they
stopped in Sioux Falls to do some
shopping, stocking up the pantry
for summer. Max has been dealing
with a cough hope it gets better
soon!
Todd and Darcy Jones and chil-
dren traveled to Britton Friday af-
ternoon to be on hand for a BB gun
match Saturday. Their children,
Luke and Mattie, both returned
home with a 24-hour bug, but they
are better now.
Kevin Neuhauser spent most of

Mary had her annual Schlecter sis-
ters weekend in Pierre last week-
end. All the sisters and a few of the

Adam and Jodi Roseth went to
Pierre Friday and enjoyed dinner
and a movie. Sunday, their friends,
Colton and Abby McDaniel, and
children came for a visit.
Jon and Connie Johnson and
Noah were in Pierre Friday for ap-
pointments. Connie had teacher in-
service in the afternoon, then they
traveled on to Britton for the BB
gun match. Noah received four
awards, one in honor of doing well
on the test. This program not only
teaches the kids how to shoot, it
also teaches gun safety important
stuff! Avery Johnson is a member
of the Philip High School golf team,
and he golfed in Rapid City Thurs-
day.
Marge Briggs submitted the fol-
lowing weather data for March,
2013 The high temperature for
the month was 72 on the 14th and
the 29th. There were two days of
70 or above, six days of 60 or
above, and 10 days of 50 or above.
The lowest maximum temperature
for the month was 28 on the 5th.
The low temperature for the
month was 3 on the 20th. We had
eight times 10 or below, and 31
times 32 or below. The average
high for the month was 44, and the
average low was 17, giving us an
average of 31 for the month.
The precipitation was zero for
the first half of March. From the
17th through the 31st we received
.29 of moisture. Normal precipita-
tion for March is 1.01, leaving us
.72 below normal. The year-to-
date precipitation is 1.23. Normal
is 1.94, leaving us .71 below nor-
mal for the year. Snow for the
month of March 2013 was 3.2, and
the year-to-date snow amount is
16.1. This winter to date we have
received 23.2.
Marge also provided some infor-
mation for the sake of comparison.
In March 2012, the high tempera-
ture was 85, compared to 72 for
March 2013. In March 2012, we
had five days of 80 or above, 13
days of 70 or above, and 24 days of
50 or above. The low for March
2012 was 14. In March 2012, we
had 17 days of low temperatures of
32 or below. In 2013, we had 31
days of low temps or 32 or below.
At the end of March 2012, our year-
to-date precipitation was .84
inches, compare to 1.23 this year.
I hope this trend of higher precipi-
tation amounts continues!
Our week here has been one of
projects cattle projects, yard proj-
ects, corral building projects, etc.
The yard work is done, the cattle
are a work in progress this time of
year, and we completed a corral
building project at the Towne
place. We use those corrals in the
spring when we are branding, and
they definitely needed work. Our
nephews, Luke and Dylan
Neuhauser, were out to help with
the corral project Saturday, and
their help was very much appreci-
ated. They are two very hard work-
ing, capable young men.
Time is getting short, so I need to
get this news submitted. I keep get-
ting distracted, going from window
to window, watching the storm.
This week, I am grateful for the
moisture even though it is in the
form of a blizzard, and even though
the young calves are in peril. Our
area needs every drop of moisture
we can get!
I hope all of you are tucked up
safely today, finding a way to enjoy
this spring snowstorm. Stay safe!

Below the equator, in a Third
World city where the vast majority
of residents have never heard of
South Dakota, Dakota Wesleyan
University has been touching lives
for nearly 12 years.
DWU will send another two
groups with a total of 49 students
and staff to Chincha, Peru, in early
May to continue mission work
begun in 2002. Chincha is a city
just off the coast of Peru with an-
cestry dating back before the Incan
Empire. This will be DWUs eighth
trip in 12 years, working with vol-
unteers from the United Methodist
Church in and around Chincha.
Team one will include Gabrielle
McKinley, Midland. She is cur-
rently a sophomore at DWU, pur-
suing a nursing degree.
By the end of May, the university
will have sent more than 150 dif-
ferent people some have made
the trip several times to Peru,
building a community center that
provides education, day care, meal
programs and religious instruction
to local children, as well as a clinic
and soon, a church.
In the past, DWU has also raised
enough funds to build a water de-
livery system on rooftops, and
helped with childrens ministries.
This year, the two groups will work
to build a church in Satellite City
outside of Chincha, continue unfin-
ished projects, and provide a vol-
leyball and soccer camp for local
children.
... theres a lot of places in the
world which need help financially
and which need to hear the gospel
of God, but I believe that the Lord
put this specific mission trip in my
path and on my heart because this
is the year for revival within our
nation and within all other na-
tions, said McKinley.
Each participant must provide or
fundraise $2,500 to carry on this
mission of service. As part of this
effort, students and staff have been
traveling to South Dakota and
North Dakota churches and provid-
ing worship services.
My main plan is to be able to
bless the city of Satellite City,
Peru, physically, emotionally and
be able to share what I know about
the Lord and Bible to them so that
they may do the same, as when we
aren't there and the word of God
will just live on throughout the
country of Peru, stated McKinley.
McKinley said she hopes to de-
velop personal relationships with
the people there, and to be able to
further understand their chal-
lenges and problems. She wants to
grow in her ability to be used by
God to help people in different sit-
uations and settings.
Mission trips are not a gradua-
tion requirement at DWU. ... when
I heard about the opportunity ...
my heart just jumped for joy, to be
able to serve and bless other peo-
ple, said McKinley.
My family has always been big
supporters in my life. Every one of
them thinks this is a ... good learn-
ing experience for me in my God
life and just life in general, said
McKinley. Her father, LaVay,
uncle and aunt, Dallas and Kaye,
and grandmother, Arlene, live in
Midland.
... its going to be a life changing
trip for all of us, said McKinley.
She is asking for people to keep her
in their prayers. Those who contact
her or her group can request to be
updated by email on the Peru mis-
sion trip. Address mail to Dakota
Wesleyan University Peru Mis-
sion Trip, 1200 W. University Ave.
Box 920, Mitchell, SD 57301. In-
clude your email in the letter if you
wish to get updates on McKinleys
Peru missions trip.

Students from Philip High
School attended the 26th annual
state convention of the South
Dakota Student Council Associa-
tion (SDSCA), which was held in
Pierre, March 24-26.
The SDSCA convention included
745 students and advisors from 60
high schools across the state. The
convention helps student council
members to exercise and enhance
their leadership skills. Focusing on
the theme Tune into Leadership,
the SDSCA convention utilized a
combination of large group presen-
tations by two guest speakers
Rashaan Davis from Colorado and
Kyle Scheele from Springfield,
Mo. and breakout sessions.
Philip student council members
Tate DeJong and Gavin Snook pro-
vided a breakout session entitled
Effective Communication which
was attended by 200 of the stu-
dents.
Convention activities included
the annual business meeting of the
SDSCA and the election of the as-
sociations 2013-2014 state officers,
as well as the election of the offi-
cers for each of the associations
seven regions.
The convention featured two
statewide community service proj-
ects. The students made 86 fleece
blankets that will be dispersed
among communities throughout
the state. Perhaps the most inspi-
rational moment during the state
convention occurred when the stu-
dent councils presented their
checks for money raised for the
Childrens Miracle Network proj-
ect. Through three-point shoot
fundraisers, Philip High School
students donated $630 to Chil-
dren's Miracle Network at the con-
vention and over $21,000 was
raised across the state by the coun-
cils represented at the state con-
vention.

The South Dakota High School
Activities Association announced
that 31 South Dakota high school
student councils have been recog-
nized as being Outstanding Stu-
dent Councils for the 2012-13
school year.
The Philip High School student
council is one that made that list.
Its advisor is Pamela DeJong. Not
all of the class officers are in stu-
dent council; only the four student
council officers, each class presi-
dent and the two representatives
from each class.
Philip members include Kelsie
Kroetch student council presi-
dent, Gavin Snook vice president,

treasurer, and P. DeJong is the
Rushmore Region parliamentar-
ian.
The honored student councils
meet or exceed rigorous standards
of excellence; best described as
being very active within their
school and community throughout
the school year. Outstanding coun-
cils have a well-rounded program
of activities and projects which
benefit both their school and their
community throughout the year.
The 31 student councils recog-
nized this year are well organized,
highly motivated and have met the
rigorous standards, said James
Weaver, SDHSAA assistant execu-
tive director. Each council was in-
volved in a wide range of projects
in areas such as community and
school service, health safety or
chemical awareness, education and
leadership. Each of these student
council demonstrated a desire for
self-improvement and individual
growth by participating in leader-
ship workshops an conventions, as
well as other educational pro-
grams.

High school students in grades
nine through 12 from across the
state will be joining together to
learn about leadership and patriot-
ism, while making some lifelong
friends. Camp will be at the Thun-
derstik Lodge by Chamberlain.
Space is limited, so only the first 40
applications will be accepted.
Last summers camp attendees
sponsored by the Haakon County
Farm Bureau Federation were
Gavin Snook and Avery Johnson.
Applications are due May 1. Par-
ents do not need to be Farm Bu-
reau members for their children to
participate.
Students may apply through
their local county Farm Bureau for
camp, or the state office in Huron,
or the website www.sdfbf.org. The
Huron office contact info is: South
Dakota Farm Bureau, P.O. Box
1426, Huron, SD 57350, or call 605
353 8052 and ask for Julie.
The camp is a place to work on
team building skills with the state
FFA officers, go through the Alive
at 25 driving course, play games
and enjoy campfires. Campers will
also learn about patriotism, the
constitution, international view-
points, nutrition and wellness, and
congressional insight.
Farm Bureau camp is a great
place for making new friends, but
more importantly, the sessions and
training we offer will help students
become better citizens and leaders
in their schools, churches and com-
munities. Farm Bureau camp is re-
ally a life changing opportunity,
said Cindy Foster, South Dakota
Farm Bureau camp director.

Dr. Mangulis
remembered
On March 25, Philip Health Serv-
ices, Inc. celebrated the birthday of
the founder of Philip Health Serv-
ices, Dr. George J. Mangulis. Ac-
cording to a release from Jennifer
Henrie, marketing and human re-
sources for PHSI, Dr. Mangulis
came to Philip in 1956 and served
as the communitys medical
provider until his retirement in
2006. His vision of a community
medical clinic and hospital led to
the development of the facilities we
have here today.
We honor his dedication and de-
votion to the people of Philip, South
Dakota. Dr. Mangulis has been
greatly missed since his death on
December 11, 2009, yet his vision
lives on in the work we do here
every day. On hand at the celebra-
tion were Lee Sundall Philip
Health Services clinic manager,
Kent Olsen chief executive offi-
cer, Cindy Pfeifle business man-
ager, and Jeanne Radway retired
nurse, as they reminisced about
Mangulis years as community doc-
tor.

being new to them. The next meet
is Friday at Wall for the Wall In-

the Todd County Invitational at
Mission, Thursday, April 4.
The weather was perfect for our
first meet of the year, said Philip

times were about right for this part
of the season, but we have a lot of
room to improve if we want to be
competitive at the end of the sea-
son. Paul Guptill qualified for state
in the 300 hurdles with a time of
43:00 seconds, which is also a per-
sonal best for him.

1hursday, April 11, 2013 1he Pioneer Review Page 10
oontinued on page 11
prove the engineering agreement with
SPN & Assoc. for the lift station wet well
rehabilitation project. The engineering
expenses are as follows: design phase
at $6,500; the bidding phase at $2,500;
and, construction phase at $7,500 or
less. Motion carried with all members
voting aye.
Council reviewed the plans outlined in
Marty Hansen's building and flood plain
development permits that were approved
during the Mar. 2, 2013, meeting. t was
noted that the plans indicate the installa-
tion of a foundation, but did not specify
the depth of the footings which are cur-
rently dug at 32 inches. The City has
adopted the 1997 Uniform Building Code
which states that the footings shall ex-
tend below the frost line and be at least
12 inches below undisturbed soil. n
questioning the depth of the frost line for
our region, John rvine, certified building
inspector, confirmed that Central South
Dakota including the Philip area has a
design frost depth of 42 inches below
undisturbed soil does not include fill dirt
and flood plain regulations do not apply
when meeting the depth requirements.
Mayor Vetter stated if the City does not
require compliance with the adopted
building code, it will only escalate and
cause problems in the future. The regu-
lations are in place for a reason and we
are obligated to make sure they are fol-
lowed.
Council Member Gartner also noted that
following the regulations will only help
with Mr. Hansen's resale value should he
wish to sell the property in the future.
t was also reported that the concrete
contractor was forming the footings and
foundations today.
By general consensus of the Council, Mr.
Hansen's footings must comply with the
42 depth requirements in order to be in
compliance with the City's adopted build-
ing code. The Finance Office was di-
rected to contact Mr. Hansen in the early
morning to alert him of this requirement
before he commences pouring concrete.
(On Apr. 2, 2013, the 42 depth require-
ments for footings were clarified by John
rvine. The 42 depth is measured below
the adjacent grade, at a horizontal point
five feet from the foundation not next to
the foundation. This confirms that Mr.
Hansen's existing plans are in compli-
ance with the requirements.)
New Business:
Wood/Walden Ave. Utility and Street m-
prov. Project:
Council was informed that the City's En-
gineers, SPN & Assoc., will be onsite
starting the week of April 1st to begin
construction staking with a tentative con-
struction start date of April 8th.
Council Member Arthur questioned when
the water and sewer mains will be in-
stalled on Walden Ave. as his contractor
will need to schedule his water line re-
placement to his house around this work.
FO Van Lint noted that the construction
schedule is not available at this time, but
will provide this information to Mr. Arthur
in the near future.
FO Van Lint went on to state that the pro-
posed construction schedule reviewed
during the pre-construction meeting in-
cluded working from the south to the
north of Wood Ave. Following that meet-
ing, Scotchman ndustries had posed a
request to consider that their busy time
of year is generally in the fall. This may
change the construction schedule. This
as well as other access issues has initi-
ated a meeting with the contractor, City's
engineer, Street Committee, and Mr.
Kroetch for Thursday, April 4th at 1:00
p.m. to review construction schedules
and access concerns.
She also reported that the request to
overlay that portion of Hone St. west of
the N. Wood Ave. intersection will also be
reviewed by the engineers during Thurs-
day afternoon.
The Finance Office has also contacted
the property owners along the project
area regarding the construction plans
and suggestions to make arrangements
for access to their properties during this
time. t was stressed that this project
could take seven months to complete
and the City appreciates everyone's pa-
tience during this time.
Council Member Matt mentioned that a
few of the residents will not have alter-
nate access to their properties during the
construction. He is going to visit with
them and offer the area around his prop-
erty for parking and access.
FO Van Lint reviewed correspondence
from Eric Meintsma with SD Dept. of En-
vironment and Natural Resources re-
garding the City's State Revolving Fund
(SRF) loan for the project. They are in-
quiring how the City would like to split the
engineering expenses: 50/50 between
the storm sewer and sanitary sewer; or,
57% storm sewer and 43% sanitary
sewer.
t was also noted that there is approxi-
mately $17,000 or 7% of the project's
overall engineering expenses that are
not eligible for SRF reimbursement. This
includes items such as the water line and
drain tile engineering expenses.
Following review, motion was made by
Matt, seconded by Arthur to approve the
engineering reimbursement from the
SRF at the 50/50 split between the storm
sewer and sanitary sewer. Motion car-
ried.
E. Pine St./Wray Ave. Overlay Project:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded
by Matt to approve an agreement with
J&J Asphalt to allow them to obtain the
excess liability insurance coverage by
the construction start date. Motion car-
ried.
According to the City's Engineer, J&J As-
phalt plans to begin the project construc-
tion mid to late summer.
Council Member Matt voiced concern
about the start date being in late summer
as the fall cattle sales start the end of Au-
gust. n his opinion, it would be in both
the City's and the contractor's best inter-
est to start this no later than mid-summer
more specifically from anytime now and
completed by mid-August.
By general consensus of the Council, the
Finance Office was requested to contact
the City's Engineer, Jeff McCormick with
SPN & Assoc., to request a more con-
crete start date from J&J Asphalt.
Airport:
FO Van Lint reported that the closeout
documents for the Medium ntensity
Runway Lighting (MRL) project were
submitted during the Annual Airport Con-
ference, Mar. 27-28, 2013. The opera-
tional and maintenance manuals along
with the as-built plans have also been re-
ceived and are on file in the Finance Of-
fice.
The project status updates for the MRL
project and Land Acquisition and Envi-
ronmental Assessment (LA/EA) were not
available during the meeting as they
were not received until April 2, 2013.
Council reviewed the following building
and flood plain development permits:
Greg Arthur - new water line; Kent Buch-
holz - egress window & deck; D&T Auto
Parts, Dale Morrison - access road
across storm water retention ditch; Doug
Hart - emergency sewer line repair;
Kevin Pfeifle - 14'x14' pergola.
Council reviewed D&T Auto Parts permit
in detail along with their US Army Corps
of Engineers 404 permit submitted on
their behalf by Broz Engineering. Accord-
ing to the 404 permit, the plans include
removing trees and placing a 40 foot
wide by 368 foot long access road in the
storm water retention area on the east
side of his property. According to the 404
permit, the road will be constructed as
follows: "The dirt sub-grade will be built
40 feet wide with a 4:1 slope; the slope
on the south side of the road will tie into
the slope of the existing dam. A 6 gravel
surfacing will be placed atop the sub-
grade at a 0.03 ft/ft slope. Total fill will be
approximately 7850 CY of dirt, and 272
CY of gravel.
Dale Morrison, owner of D&T Auto Parts,
was questioned about the plans and size
of the culvert that will be installed below
the road. t was noted that the road con-
struction will be located in a storm water
retention dam that helps control the
storm drainage for the City.
Mr. Morrison stated that the Army Corps
did not think he would need a culvert
since the area does not have a drainage
outlet on the south side of the dam, but
he is planning to install an 18 inch culvert
under his proposed road. The road will
also be located to the south of the exist-
ing culvert that runs from the draw
through Scotchman's property. He
stressed that the intent of the access
road is to provide a safer means for
semi-trucks to access his new business.
t was noted that the existing culvert is 18
inches in diameter. t drains water from
the area and deposits it in the draw be-
tween N. Wood Ave. and Auto Ave. This
is currently the only outlet for water to
flow from the drainage dam as any other
option would result in the water deposit-
ing in the downtown area of Philip which
does not have the storm sewer capacity
to withstand any excess drainage.
t was questioned if the City's Engineer,
Harlan Quenzer with SPN & Assoc., has
reviewed D&T's plans.
FO Van Lint confirmed that Mr. Quenzer
was only contacted for a comment on the
404 permit, noting the concerns voiced
by the City relative to the impact the road
construction would have on the existing
storm water drainage into and from the
system and the downstream storm
drainage system. This was only a review
of the permit and the City's storm
drainage, as an onsite and in depth re-
port was not requested by the Council.
She then reviewed Mr. Quenzer's sug-
gestions with the Council. This included
D&T and their engineers submitting the
following information to the Council for
consideration prior to approving the ac-
cess road construction. (1) dentify the
size and types of existing piping into or
out of the area being filled. (2) Describe
how the water that enters the area via the
SD Highway 14 culvert is to be dis-
charged from the area. (3) Provide an
evaluation of the potential hydraulic im-
pact of the proposed project has on the
existing storm water retention and
drainage system. t was also noted that
elevation information has not been ob-
tained at this time, but Quenzer con-
firmed that this area provides valuable
storm drainage retention and if it is filled,
the volume of retention will be signifi-
cantly reduced.
Mayor Vetter questioned if the proposed
culvert size of 18 inches is of sufficient
size, for drainage and the weight of the
semi-trucks. Council Member Gartner
also inquired who would be liable should
the access road restrict the storm
drainage, causing water to back up on
the north side of SD Hwy 14.
Mr. Morrison is confident that the size of
his proposed culvert is sufficient and O'-
Connell Construction will be installing the
culvert and building the road. He also
noted that the only time he was aware of
the drainage dam being full was following
the failure of Moos' dam grade north and
west of the SD Highway 14 and 73 inter-
section. The water that flows through the
drainage dam was noted as coming from
Moos' south through Fred Hoag's prop-
erty and behind Coyle's Standard. t then
crosses SD Highway 14 to the drainage
dam through the culvert by Coyle's Stan-
dard.
Questions were raised as to whether or
not the US Army Corps of Engineers
have approved Morrison's 404 permit.
FO Van Lint confirmed that Jeff Brecken-
ridge with the Corps contacted PWD
Reckling today, advising that they have
found the road construction to have little
or no environmental impact. t was
stressed that the Army Corps is only con-
cerned with the environmental impact as
the storm water control is the City's re-
sponsibility.
Council Member Gartner then mentioned
the possibility of displacing some of the
dirt in the drainage area to help accom-

Mayor, Council and those in attendance
thanked Mr. Green with Waste Connec-
tions for his attendance.
Council Member Matt left the meeting at
this time.
Council reviewed a rewrite of a portion of
Chapter #5, Public Owned Utilities, relat-
ing to definitions, utility accounts, and
water and sewer services.
DFO Smith pointed out some of the
changes such as landlord's being ex-
empt from placing a deposit (see #5-
001(b)) and changing the deposit refund
date from the end of December to July
(see #5-002.1(b)). The Council was re-

systems used in the storage,
treatment, recycling and recla-
mation of municipal sewage or
industrial wastes of a liquid na-
ture. t also includes sewers,
pipes and other conveyances
only if they convey wastewater
to a POTW pretreatment plant.
The term also means the mu-
nicipality as defined in Section
502(4) of the Clean Water Act,
which has jurisdiction over the
indirect discharges to and the
modate the fill that Morrison is proposing.
For example clearing out some of the
trees and brush as well as utilize some
of the fill dirt in the area to build the road.
Following a comment from Morrison rel-
ative to the fact that "t is my property." t
was noted and stressed that even though
Mr. Morrison owns the property where he
is proposing to construct the road, it is
imperative to the City's storm drainage.
The City has located documentation from
the early 1930's indicating that this area
was constructed and maintained for flood
control.
Mr. Morrison questioned who installed
the culvert extending under Scotchman's
property to the east as well as the dam
grade south of his property. He com-
mented that these would more than likely
not have been allowed today.
t was confirmed that Scotchman ndus-
tries did install the culvert.
Mayor Vetter expressed concern for al-
lowing the construction of the road with
regard to the City's storm drainage
needs. This draw is located on more than
just Morrison's property and it is impera-
tive for the City's storm drainage. n his
opinion, filling in the draw to increase the
size of one's property should not be al-
lowed and if Morrison is permitted to con-
struct a road through this area, that it be
a one-time only opportunity to help pre-
serve the purpose of the drainage area.
Mayor Vetter than questioned when Mr.
Morrison plans to start construction of the
road as the SD One-Call locate notice
that was received today listed April 3rd
as the start date. Mr. Morrison stressed
that he needs to start as soon as possi-
ble or he will miss out on obtaining the
dirt to build the road.
Mayor Vetter then suggested scheduling
a meeting with Morrison and his contrac-
tor along with the City's Building Commit-
tee and Engineer when the City's
Engineer is in town on Thursday, April
4th. t was noted that the City needs to
ensure that this will not create a bigger
problem than we already have with the
City's storm sewer.
Mr. Morrison was then questioned in
more detail about the size of the road as
the 404 permit indicates 40 feet wide by
368 feet long whereas the SD One Call
locate the City received today stated 50
feet wide by 100 yards. n addition, the
4:1 slope of the proposed road per the
permit was noted, in which Council Mem-
ber Matt inquired if the bottom of the road
would end up being around 100 feet
wide.
Mr. Morrison was quoted as stating "that
he has not reviewed the plans submitted
by Broz Engineering on the 404 permit.
He reassured the Council that O'Connell
Construction will be constructing the
road. t will be 40 feet wide, but the slope
will be steeper than the 4:1 slope indi-
cated on the 404 permit. The height of
the road will be approximately 12 feet
high on the west, sloping to approxi-
mately 6 feet on east.
Council Member Matt questioned Mr.
Morrison as the plans he has reviewed
with the Council tonight are not reflected
in the building permit he submitted. The
building permit states, "road across my
draw to engineer specs. He then recom-
mended Mr. Morrison update the plans
on his building permit to reflect his actual
plans for the construction of the access
road in order for the Council to make a
decision.
Further discussion about displacing the
soil in the drainage dam and clearing the
trees ensued.
Council Member Henrie suggested the
possibility of installing a bridge in place
of the proposed road in order to alleviate
concerns with decreasing the storm
water retention area. t was noted that a
bridge would be ideal, but the costs in-
volved would be astronomical in compar-
ison to building a road.
Council Member Matt then suggested
the Council move forward by scheduling
a meeting for Thursday when the City's
Engineers are scheduled to be in Philip.
He then recommended Mr. Morrison up-
date his plans by that time so that a thor-
ough review can be accomplished in
order for the Council to make a decision.
Matt then motioned to approve D&T Auto
Parts, Dale Morrison, road access permit
contingent upon the Building Committee
being satisfied that the concerns voiced
during this evening have been ad-
dressed. This includes, but is not limited
to clearing of the trees, brush and fill dirt
on the north side of the proposed road.
n addition, it was stressed that City Or-
dinance #11-1804 be taken into consid-
eration which prohibits the interference
with natural drainage.
City Attorney Tollefson addressed the
Council, stating that in her legal point of
view of the motion in place, she would
recommend the Council call a special
meeting to formally act on the permit.
She stressed that there are numerous
contingencies involved and this would be
putting the sole responsibility on the
Building Committee. Especially consider-
ing that all of the Council Members have
voiced different concerns. n addition, the
public needs to be given opportunity to
review and pose any of their concerns to
the Council.
Council Member Matt withdrew his mo-
tion and by general consensus of the
Council, a special meeting will be called
following the meeting on Thursday.
Mr. Morrison was then requested to sub-
mit update plans to the City prior to
Thursday and have any other significant
information that he feels is necessary
available for review.
Mr. Morrison noted that he is open to low-
ering the height of the road in order for
water to flow across it in the event of a
flood. He was quoted as stating, "as long
as he can get a semi-truck through the
area that is all he cares about. He went
for the 40 foot width of road, but could
get by with a road somewhere around 20
feet in width.

THANK YOUS
A belated heartfelt thank you
to everyone for all your kindness,
support and prayers after the
loss of our mom, grandma and
great-grandma, Ida Hunt.
Thank you for all the food,
drinks and paper products
brought to our homes, the cards,
memorials, flowers and espe-
cially the memories.
Thank you to the doctors,
nurses and the staff at Philip
Health Services for your years of
great care while Mom stayed at
the nursing home. You CNAs did
a super job!! It was a great com-
fort knowing she was always
taken care of.
Lastly, a huge thank you to
Pastor Frezil for her support and
comforting words; Marilyn Mill-
age and Kim Kanable for their
beautiful music at Moms service;
the ladies at Trinity Lutheran
Church for serving the much ap-
preciated meal; and finally to the
Rushes for their support and pro-
fessional services. The video was
great!
All of you gave us comfort and
made the passing of our mom a
bit easier!

tion carried.
Council Member Matt returned to the
meeting at this time.
Council went on to review a request from
Travis Jones, Engineer with KLJ, regard-
ing a request for Keystone Pipeline to
haul wastewater from one of their camps
into the Citys Wastewater system. They
have provided estimated amounts of
wastes with a maximum of 50,000 gal-
lons per day when the camp is at capac-
ity. Revenue from accepting this waste
was also provided with an example of
what they are paying in Montana. It was
noted that the camp will more than likely
be at capacity for only one year and taper
off for the second year with no activity
during the winter months.
The Citys Engineer, Harlan Quenzer
with SPN & Assoc., has reviewed the re-
quest and confirms that the Citys Waste-
water Treatment Facility is capable of
handling the amount of waste that is
being proposed.
The Council was asked if they are inter-
ested in entering into negotiation with the
Keystone Pipeline to accept their waste-
water.
Council Member Gartner expressed his
frustration with the disposal prices pro-
posed by Keystone as they are consid-
erably less than what the City had
adopted for disposal of waste when he
was in the septic tank business. The City
had established a rate of $50 per 1,000
gallons of waste and Keystone is only
paying $18.75 per 3,740 gallons. He also
mentioned that the City will need to mon-
itor the access road to the lagoons as
well as ensure that they are not dumping
the waste on the lagoons rock barrier.
It was noted that the disposal prices pro-
vided were only a sample of the fees
Keystone is being charged in Montana.
Regardless, at those prices, the City
could generate approximately $50,000 in
revenue.
By general consensus, the Council ex-
pressed interest in negotiating with Key-
stone Pipeline to haul the wastewater
from one of their camps to the Citys
Wastewater Facility.
Council was advised that Dane Nelson is
the new owner of Triple XXX Spraying,
LLC. He has provided a copy of his in-
surance along with spraying estimates
for 2013. It was noted that the 2013
prices have not increased from 2012
when the business was owned by Je-
remy Noteboom. In addition, Mr. Nelson
has confirmed that he will continue
spraying the community signs, fire hall
parking lot, and around the recycling
dumpsters free of charge.
By general consensus of the Council, the
spraying estimates for 2013 were ap-
proved.
Council reviewed the following L/P
Propane bids received this month:
Mar. 20, 2013
Fitzgerald Oil Company........$1.325/gal.
Midwest Cooperatives ............$1.35/gal.
Departmental Reports:
The monthly Police Dept. report was pre-
sented and reviewed with Officer Butler.

viewed.

days.

The monthly Street Dept. report was re-
viewed.
The monthly swimming pool report was
reviewed.
Council was informed that the materials
for hand rail on the west side of the
swimming pool sidewalk have been or-
dered. The Philip High School Industrial
Arts class will be building the railing once
the materials arrive.
The City will be accepting lifeguard ap-
plications until May 1st and they will be
reviewed by the Health/Rec. Committee
on Monday, May 6th at 3:30 p.m.
The quarterly Water Dept. report was re-
viewed with Gen. Maint. Pearson.
Pearson reviewed the new no lead initia-
tives regarding water meter regulations
with the Council. He noted that stricter
standards have been implemented which
will eliminate brass meter installations
and they will need to be replaced meters
such as the iperl plastic meters starting
in 2014.
The monthly water loss for March was re-
ported at 10.04%. It was noted that one
water leak was located and repaired this
past month.

Philip, SD
I sure appreciate getting hints
and ideas from our readers. You
may think an idea is silly or every-
one already knows it, but I dis-
cover new things every day.
One reader shared this use of
newspaper. Instead of using mask-
ing tape when painting, she sug-
gested tearing newspapers into
strips, wetting with water and ap-
plying to the area that needs pro-
tection. As the newspaper dries it
sticks to the surface. She said it is
easier to peel off and no chance of
it pulling something else off.

Ive been noticing a lot of warn-
ings for various things popping up
on a social networking site. Be
aware that many of these are
hoaxes and maybe do a quick In-
ternet search before passing them
on.
The other night there was one
regarding mold spores in cake and
pancake mixes that had reached
their expiration dates. The story
claimed that the yeast in the prod-
ucts formed mold spores. Red flags
went off everywhere. Mainly as
there is no yeast in either product.
I did a quick Internet search
which confirmed the story as a
hoax. The basis of the story went
back more than 10 years when a
college student had died after eat-
ing pancakes from a mix that was
past expiration and had been set-
ting on a shelf opened for two
years. The mix was tested and
found to contain four different
mold spores, and he was allergic to
molds.
I too have passed along things
that I later regreted as I did not
check them out as I should have.
So beware, things may not be as
they seem.

A reader told me the other day she
has done the bale gardening and
really likes it. But, she said, make
sure those bales are watered re-
ally well during the first step.

All you master cake decorators
probably already know this, but
for the rest of us heres a handy tip
from a reader.
When filling your pastry bag put
it in a tall glass or jar and fold the
bags top over the glasss rim. Fill
with frosting as usual. Filling
those bags while holding them can
be quite a feat!

Have you ever made a batch of
waffles for a lot of people, only to
have them turn soggy while sit-
ting on the plate? A reader sug-
gested putting the cooked waffles
on a wire rack that is sitting on a
cookie sheet, cover with a towel
and place in a 200 degree oven.
For safety reasons, Id skip the
towel.

The same reader shared this
handy hint. If you dont have a
colander an easy way to rinse your
beans is to use a church key to
make holes in the bottom and top
of the can. Make sure you do this
over the sink. Run water the
through the top holes and when
the water runs clear open the can
as usual.

A secret agreement that directed
nearly $175,000 to a former super-
intendent should be open to public
inspection, a state examiner ruled
on March 29.
The order from the state Office of
Hearing Examiners said the Huron
School District must release a copy
of the settlement agreement be-
tween it and former superintend-
ent Ross Opsal to The Daily Repub-
lic.
The settlement agreement re-
sulted in the district making
monthly payments to Opsal after
his March 2011 resignation, ac-
cording to public information pre-
viously obtained by the newspaper.
The Daily Republic's initial request
for a copy of the agreement was
made more than a year ago.
What's unknown, and what The
Daily Republic seeks to learn from
the agreement, is why the school
paid the money to Opsal. At the
time of his resignation, Opsal and
the school district released a public
letter from him citing his personal
health issues as a reason for his
departure, but with no further
specifics.
Despite Friday's order, The Daily
Republic still has not seen the
agreement, because the newspaper
was not able to reach the Huron
School Districts current superin-
tendent or lawyer immediately.
The order said a copy of the
agreement shall be made avail-
able to The Daily Republic, but it
also said the school district may ap-
peal to circuit court. If the district
appeals the order, the Opsal agree-
ment would remain sealed during
the appeal process.
The Daily Republic first sought a
copy of the agreement in early 2012
after receiving a tip that the Huron
School District was still paying a
former superintendent, even as the
district paid its new superintend-
ent. The district and its lawyer re-
fused to provide a copy of the agree-
ment, but did acknowledge pay-
ments to Opsal of $10,916.51 per
month since his March 2011 resig-
nation.
According to monthly payment
information obtained from the dis-
trict and compiled by The Daily Re-
public, the payments stopped after
16 months and totaled $174,664.
