Issues with proposed railroad
upgrades, a locked gate and 4-H
were discussed by the Haakon
County Commission at their Sep-
tember 4 meeting.
Highway department assistant
Val Williams updatec the board on
the ongoing issue between an out of
state landowner and a Pierre area
hunter.
The hunter has appealed to the
board throughout the summer for
help dealing with the landowner so
that he can access Corps of Engi-
neering for hunting purposes.
A no maintenance county road
lies within a fenced portion of the
landowners land. The road which
goes throughlandowners land does
not stretch all the way to Corps
land. The latest request was for the
landowner to remove a lock on a
gate that crosses the road.
Williams noted that it is illegal, ac-
cording to South Dakota Codified
Law, to have the gate locked since
it crosses a county road.
The commissioners noted they
could not do much as it is a matter
between the two parties. They did
approve for States Attorney Gay
Tollefson to mail a letter to the
landowner for him to remove the
lock.
The out of state landowner uses
his land for hunting purposes as
well as raising deer.
Mike Seager discussed the pro-
posed Dakota Mill and Grain up-
grade project and its possible ef-
fects on flooding near his home.
Seager showed the board footage
from a flood in 1996 and photos
from the 2008 flood. Seager said be-
tween those years the Dakota, Min-
nesota and Eastern Railroad had
worked on a trestle bridge. He said
part of the trestle was filled in with
dirt with the other end being left
open for water flow. He noted that
now water cannot flow through the
area fast enough.
Seager believes that if DM&G
goes through with their plan, that
the flood plain will lose even more
reservoir area. He said he doesnt
want to stop DM&Gs progress, just
for them to look hard at what will
happen. I think there are too
many people involved to gamble on
it, he said.
The commission is unsure at this
time what, if any authority, they
would have over the project. The
recently reorganized Haakon
County Regional Railroad Author-
ity would probably be the entity to
have any say, along with the city as
most of the land is within city lim-
its.
A review of the current 4-H pro-
gram agreement with Jones, Jack-
son, Mellette and Haakon counties
was discussed. A year ago the
countys submitted an agreement
to South Dakota State University
for the four county program. The
agreement was for a one year term.
Sheryl Hansen, administrative Ex-
tension assistant, stated that there
was a possibility that Jones County
may not renew the agreement.
Clements said he would like to
meet with the other counties to get
their opinions. Options discussed
were a three county co-op or possi-
bly just Haakon and Jackson coun-
ties tied together. Hansen stated
she had spoken with the 4-H advi-
sor in Bennett County, who only
serves that county, to see how
everything has worked for them
the past year.
Linda Edel, Western South
Dakota Community Action, Rapid
City, outlined her organization for
the commission. She said the pro-
gram encompasses most of western
South Dakota. It aids low income
and elderly with financial mat-
ters everything from school sup-
plies to heating and air condition-
ing. She said she believes Haakon
County is getting short changed for
support since they do not have a
person on the WSDCA board. The
commission approved Steve
Clements as Haakon Countys rep-
resentative.
The board approved the 2013
provisional budget, warrants and
meeting minutes with corrections
for August 7 and 21.
The board will meet in regular
session Tuesday, October 2, at 1:00
p.m.
Commission hears residents concerns
by Del Bartels
The opportunity knocks; I
opened. This is still the United
States of America, after all, said
Beverly Donna Paraiso about
coming to Philip from her home-
land of the Philippines.
Paraiso is a trained laboratory
technician, who is now a full time
permanent employee with Philip
Health Services, Inc. She arrived in
town August 13 and began work
August 15. Everything is still tak-
ing some adjustment, but not con-
cerning one of her co-workers. Lab-
oratory technician Melanie Berdin
is also from the Philipines and has
been working for PHSI for several
years.
I used to work with her there,
she was my senior, said Paraiso.
Otherwise, Nothing is the same
here as back home ... except maybe
English. English is one of the
main languages in the Philippines.
Kent Olson, chief executive offi-
cer for PHSI, commented about
Paraiso and Berdin, We are so
happy that Donna is here. We cant
say enough about their work ethic,
they are great workers. Due to a
shortage of lab techs in the United
States it has been difficult to find
lab techs for Philip. Lab techs col-
lect samples and perform tests to
analyze body fluids and tissues.
I got here by accident, said
Paraiso, referring not only of Philip
but of her medical profession. I
wanted to be a journalist, as a
preparation for law; maybe because
I was young and still didnt have
the direction. My mother is a nurse
and she is good. Paraiso later got
into medical technology because
she believed it was the best prepa-
ration for medical school, but in
my third year I decided that would
be a bit much.
Paraiso completed her bachelor
of science degree in medical tech-
nology, then added over seven
years experience in the profession
before coming to America. Every-
body wants to come here. This is
one of my lifelong dreams, to fulfill
the American dream, said Paraiso.
Connie Sandstrom, manager of
the PHSI lab, said, Shes a very
eager worker, very friendly. Shes
just friendly! And, she does a good
job. Its fun to work with people like
that. It makes the day go by bet-
ter.
One reason for Paraisos outlook
on work is the tremendous popula-
tion of the Philippines. Back
where I come from, its more hectic,
busier, really busy actually. A
month here is our day there, said
Paraiso. Matter-of-fact, she said
that the quiet will take some get-
ting used to.
Im into American movies and
American novels. I know the drill.
There are Americans back home;
no big change for me. said Paraiso.
I like it here. Everybodys friendly,
accommodating. Way before, I
thought Americans were friendly.
They didnt disappoint me at all.
She misses the food, and family
from home, of course. Her culture
holds on to extended families;
where her grandmothers house,
uncles house, brothers familys
house are all nearby in what she
referred to as a compound. ... big
thing for us ... extended family,
said Paraiso. Here, you move out
at 18, right?
The food is different back home.
The spaghetti is sweeter. Her fa-
vorite is seafood, especially fresh
shrimp. I love the beach, but I
cant find a beach here. Back home
we have a beach in walking dis-
tance, said Paraiso. She enjoys
watching movies, surfing the Inter-
net, lawn tennis, and track and
field is my way, way back sport.
She already knows how to ride
horses, When I tried it for the first
time, the trainer thought I was a
pro, said Paraiso.
Paraiso joins PHSI as lab tech

Golden West meeting
by Del Bartels
A congressional town hall meet-
ing was held in Philip, Wednesday,
September 5. It was lead by South
Dakotas lone House of Representa-
tives member, Kristi Noem.
Area citizens, gathered in the
Haakon County Courthouse com-
munity room, were first presented
information about current hot top-
ics. These topics included the de-
layed Farm Bill and the current
drought conditions with its con-
nected disaster programs. The floor
was then opened to any questions
from the 40 plus member audience.
Noem said she and her peers are
trying to get the latest Farm Bill
passed, but are concerned about
what happens if they bring a Farm
Bill onto the floor and it fails. I
have found that every senator has
some type of ag in their districts.
The house isnt like that, said
Noem. She related that some rep-
resentatives are from districts that
have no agricultural concerns by
their constituents.
Noem related that the national
budget and debt are top issues on
which all others depend. We dont
have a plan for our future. We dont
have a plan to balance our budget.
We have 10,000 people every day
retiring, said Noem. Those 10,000
are no longer part of the work force,
and they are also becoming part of
the population using Medicare and
Medicaid. Our entire state budget
here in South Dakota is $4 billion,
and that is how much the Ameri-
can government is going in debt,
explained Noem. According to cur-
rent figures, the United States is
spending approximately $3.88 bil-
lion per day.
Noem said that when she asks
groups of people, How many of you
truly believe your grandkids will be
better off than you are, not too
many of those people raise their
hands.
Later in the meeting, she said,
What some people dont under-
stand is two-thirds of our spending
is on auto pilot, said Noem. Obvi-
ously Republicans and Democrats
are both to blame. She said that
the United States has accumulated
more debt in the last three years
than during the administrations of
the first 43 presidents. Barack
Hussein Obama is Americas 44th
president.
Audience member Philip Mayor
Mike Vetter, asked the rhetorical
question of how can the deficit be
reduced if one political party will
not raise taxes and the other party
will not reduce spending?
Noem explained that she is not
in favor of raising taxes, but loop-
holes, taxing exceptions and other
questionable tax issues must be ad-
dressed. We have the highest cor-
porate income tax rate in the
world, said Noem. She said that
America needs those corporate in-
terests, which have looked to head-
quartering in and hiring workers
in other countries. They need to
come back to America and need to
get people back to work here.
Jim Stangle used a veterinarian
based example to show that the ad-
ministration has been creating reg-
ulations to go around the congress-
ional bill process. He said that
when a veterinarian organization
lobbied the Food and Drug Admin-
istration, they and their efforts
were irrelevant.
Noem agreed and used her own
example. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency standards must be
made to not include dust produced
from farming operations. These
regulations can change your lives
overnight, said Noem. This EPA
is the most anti-business and anti-
farmer EPA weve ever had.
Still illustrating unnecessary
and constricting regulations, Noem
stated that a study showed that
businesses pay about $10,000 per
employee just to fulfill all the reg-
ulations involved in having that
employee.
She said that the administration
vetoed the Keystone XL pipeline
applications, and the administra-
tion is determined to kill any legis-
lation that has the pipeline at-
tached to it.
Current health care initiatives,
referred to as Obamacare, was
also brought up by the audience.
Weve got to change people to
change the vote, said Noem. She
used an example of a young adult
in a different state trying to save
money by remaining on her par-
ents health plan in South Dakota,
thus raising their premiums. Many
such considerations arise under the
heading of Obamacare. All these
things are going to completely
change the future of health care.
Now well have a non-elected
board of 15 bureaucrats who will
decide who gets Medicare. Just be-
cause more and more people get on
Medicare programs, doesnt mean
they will get care, said Noem.
With such programs designed to
pay less than other patients rates,
doctor after doctor might have to
say they cannot afford to treat peo-
ple on these programs.
Audience member Jerry Rhodes
related such board power as eu-
thanasia. Noem saw the connec-
tion, and said, Any time we dont
get to make our own decisions on
our own health care, I think its
alarming. She said that if the new
health care were voted out, replac-
ing it would have to be done in
steps, not a complete take over.

Because I can, said Boyd
Waara at his retirement celebra-
tion at the First National Bank in
Philip, Friday, September 7.
Waara said that he first came to
Philip in his capacity with the of-
fice of comptroller of the currency,
which charters, regulates and su-
pervises national banks. I liked
the town. I liked the kind of busi-
ness being done by this bank
farmers and ranchers, which is
how I grew up in Buffalo, said
Waara.
I told Charlie Ekstrum if there
was ever an opening, call me.
About a year he called me, and Ive
been here ever since. Theyve been
good to me here. Its been a great
place to work, he said.
The first advice I got was it can
sometimes be tough doing business
with your friends. But, I cant
imagine ever doing different, said
Waara.
I never thought I ever wanted to
live where other jobs were. And, I
liked being only a couple of steps
from the boss. If I ever had a ques-
tion, I could walk over and get the
answer, said Waara.
Ray Smith, president of FNB in
Philip, said, We appreciate the 40
years of his being a loan officer,
vice president, being part of the
community such as chamber of
commerce, Soil Conservation Serv-
ice, Republican Party, and I cant
name them all. He will be greatly
missed, and we wish him and
Jeanie well in his reirement.
Waara said that hes been semi-
retired for about a year now, and
has less time than ever. He plans
on continuing his messing around
with a campground near Sturgis
which he is a co-owner.
Waara said that it has been a
great place to live and work. He
does not plan on going anywhere.
If someone thought theyd get rid
of me because Im retiring, theyre
out of luck, said Waara.
Waara retires after 40 years
We pay tribute to the gallant individuals who perished in 9/11. May we remember them always and work to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again.

I think hummingbirds must
have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hy-
peractivity Disorder.) They are
such extremely busy little critters
that theyre apt to give you the jit-
ters just watching them.
As you might guess, a humming-
bird visited us the other day. It
was so tiny that I might have
passed it off as a moth if wife
Corinne hadnt pointed it out to
me. There it was zipping from one
morning-glory blossom to another
in rapid succession. Then it might
blast off over east a bit or up over
the roof and back. Next it would re-
visit all the blossoms. It was some-
what of a relief when it finally flew
off and didnt return.
Actually, to the best of my recol-
lection, this is only the second
hummingbird Ive ever seen in my
life. The first time was so long ago
that it might now be classed as
fairly ancient history. Corinne had
been telling me shed seen this pe-
tite bird a couple times this sum-
mer, but yesterday was my first
time. It was too small, too far
away, and much too busy to get a
good look at so positive identifica-
tion has been delayed possibly
forever. Odds are it was of the
ruby-throated variety since those
are the most common.
As you may know, these birds
are unique in that they are sort of
the helicopters of the bird world.
They move their wings so quickly
that they are a blur, and they can
hover as well as move in any direc-
tion up, down, left, right, for-
wards and backwards. They may
be the only bird that can fly back-
wards. Since they are so unique, it
was kind of fun to actually see one,
but, due to their nervousness, I
was satisfied with just a brief look.
All this hyperactivity reminded
me strongly of son Chances early
years. He was one busy kid. We
might think he was quietly watch-
ing TV in the living room until we
looked out the window and saw
him dancing down the ridgepole of
the barn. Keeping up with that boy
was often a challenge. Now since
Chance has developed myasthenia
gravis, the tables have turned and
some days he barely moves. Im not
sure which condition is harder to
deal with. Something in the middle
might be easier for all involved.
Thinking of hyperactivity also
reminds me of a fellow named Rich
who used to come hunting on our
place. He was actually an aide to
U. S. Senator Tom Daschle, and we
got acquainted with him when
Senator Daschle was helping us
fight off having a 6,000-acre dump
built on our east border complete
with railroad spurs and other un-
desirable features.
Rich, though, was definitely hy-
peractive which went well with his
somewhat reddish hair. I recall the
day he came hunting with several
friends who all ate dinner with us
at our invitation. It had rained
overnight so the guys had slogged
around in mud that morning and
been led by Rich all over including
up hill and down dale. They were
pretty tired by noon. Right after
eating, Rich was all ready to head
out again, but the other guys
werent. Instead, they went out-
side, laid flat out in the sun in the
yard, and fell into exhausted sleep.
You could tell Rich thought this a
great waste of time although he
tried to join them. That didnt work
out, though, and before long he had
everybody up and going again. I
suspect those fellows slept really
well that night.
One day I noticed a contraption
on the dash of Richs vehicle and
asked what it was. He said it was
a fuzz buster or radar detector. I
imagine going the speed limit
seemed painfully slow to someone
who was always in high gear. This
fellow also went through several
wives which I rather assume was
because he was exhausting to live
with despite the fact that he was
pleasant and likeable. Unfortu-
nately, Rich died at a relatively
young age from cancer, but it is
fairly possible that he packed as
much living into his few years as
some of us have accomplished in
more time.
Today I didnt see any humming-
birds. Instead, a large turtle ap-
peared in the birds flower patch.
Talk about a contrast. The turtle
sat perfectly still on the retaining
wall for quite a long time so I could
easily tell his shell was dark green
above and many bright shades of
red, orange and yellow below. He
was quite a pretty fellow and didnt
appear to have a nervous bone in
his body. He did inspect the area
by moving his head back and forth
a few times, but thats about all he
did. After awhile, I guess he de-
cided he should go east for some
reason, after which he ambled off
that way until eventually he was
out of sight. He certainly didnt
jangle my nerves, obviously, but he
was maybe just a little boring to
watch. Okay, a lot boring.
My observations of wildlife this
week have therefore shown that
apparently there is room in this
world for both the speedy and the
slow and all points in between.
Thats probably a good thing, dont
you imagine?

Guest Editorial
The Dignity of Life by Bill Kunkle
America is one of the few remaining countries that allows its states
to use the death penalty. And South Dakota is one of those states.
For a state to kill people to demonstrate that killing is wrong is
crazy.
Human life is a gift from God, sacred from conception to natural
death. More and more people are calling for the end to this barbaric
practice. That for a country, or a state, to assert its values such as dig-
nity, justice and peace, and yet allow human life to be devalued by ex-
ecution makes no sense. The death penalty not only demeans life of
the one executed, but erodes our national dignity.
States with executions do not generally have lower murder or crime
rates.
Can we hope that one day we can see headlines that say, Capital
punishment banned in United States?
Everyday wonders ... by Del Bartels
My son called from his bedroom as he was toweling off his hair and
jumping into a pair of cutoffs. What was for breakfast? He had toast
and jam yesterday. Could he have hot oatmeal today?
I am always amazed by his attacking of everything as if it were new.
I am also often winded by his almost frantic search for new things,
which constantly illustrates the adage that younger people seem to
have a shorter attention span. He points out that something on televi-
sion sounds like one of my old LP records, and I begin to recognize a
Sinatra tune in the background of some video game commercial. By
then, though, he has noticed that our dogs face is now grayer than it
is in a photo on the shelf. I start to digest this unsettling realization,
only to be told that it is still my turn on the chess board.
He uses every sense that he can every second he can. He touches,
listens, smells, tastes and watches all the time. Didnt I once do that?
Outside, I have to move quickly in situating the sprinkler before he
has the well pump turned on. I point out that a turtle is crossing our
yard. My son studies the turtle, climbs the apple tree, snarfs down a
crab apple, swings out of the tree, reinvestigates the turtle, and re-
peats everything all while Im still marveling over the turtle. I feel
like that turtle. Perhaps my son isnt noticing the details? No; he
knows what kind of turtle it is, that its back legs are thicker than its
front legs, that its claws are curved, that our old dog is no longer sniff-
ing at the turtles half-submerged head. Perhaps my son doesnt really
care? No; he wonders aloud if the turtle is heading toward the almost
dry river south of our house, how it got to our yard, and if it liked the
sprinkler.
Why does my sons constant searching for new sights, sounds,
touches and everything else irritate me? I sag my shoulders because I
think I know. I dont want the new. I want to listen to Sinatra. I want
to take my time in remembering the first time I found a turtle, or
climbed an apple tree, or played with a not-old puppy. I want the old.
But, why? The new is good. Old friends should be cherished, but why
not find new ones as well? Why cant a Sinatra tune be in a modern
commercial? Why cant I climb the apple tree even though Ive just
eaten a crab apple? Does an apple reached from the ground taste less
good? Actually, yes. The thrill of you climbing higher to get them does
make apples taste better. Even oatmeal tastes better if you didnt have
it yesterday and if you wont have it tomorrow.
He wants to ride his bike to somewhere. I want to sit down. When
he does sit, it is usually with one eye on the TV, one eye in a book, one
ear listening for friends outside, one hand petting the dog, both shoes
off so he can scrunch his toes in the carpet, and a cup of a different fla-
vored drink beside him. I am supposed to be the father and teacher,
but I pray that what he experiences is a contagious way of living.
In three seconds it will be over either way it will be over, said Aaron Cross as
he prepared to draw back the bowstring with his teeth, then shoot a clay pigeon
from the fingers of Philip High School senior Thomas Doolittle. Actually, Cross, a
paralympic bronze medalist, had Doolittle sit by him as the placed target was
shot. In the Olympics, it is a 229 foot shot to a target the size of a coffee can.
by Del Bartels
An assembly at the Philip school
gymnasium called Motivation on
Wheels was held Monday, Septem-
ber 10, at 9:00 a.m.
Philip senior Thomas Doolittle
volunteered to hold a small clay pi-
geon to be shot from his fingers by
an arrow shot from a wheelchair-
bound paraplegic who had to draw
back the bow with his teeth.
As part of the Dakota Assemblies
program, Aaron Cross gave a mo-
tivational presentation about stay-
ing positive and going after ones
dreams. Cross is a three-time par-
alympian in archery. According to
his Dakota Assemblies program
promotional, he has visited schools
in many states, giving a down-to-
earth message that is meant for all
ages.
Cross first told of the bicycle race
in which a support van stopped di-
rectly in front of him. At a speed of
approximately 38 miles per hour,
he struck the van and snapped his
neck in several places. A medivac
helicopter ride, an emergency
room, a surgeon, his father ... all
blended together. On that day in
1991, the doctors told Aaron and
his family, The best thing you can
do for him is get him a good color
television and a good remote. He
was a 15-year-old Olympian bicy-
clist hopeful who could run a mile
in 4:50. Just like that it was all
gone.
You cannot feel your best
friends hug, you cannot feel any
hug ever again, said Cross. Admit-
ting that he was probably depress-
ing the audience, he related that
his friend reported back to his
school, Dont worry. Aaron is a lit-
tle shorter and gets better parking,
but hes just fine. Upon returning
to a reconditioned home, he found
out that his own school wasnt
going to have him back and he
would be going to a rival school.
His friends got 375 signatures of
fellow students who would transfer
as well if Cross had to. His school
allowed him to stay. Later his
friend stated during a school con-
cert that honored Cross, Youve
brought us together. We are closer
as a class than we have ever been.
After the accident Cross began
working on getting his arms to
function. Back then, it took him
three hours to get undressed, show-
ered and redressed. Now, it takes
him 28 minutes to do that and get
in his vehicle to drive somewhere.
Twenty-one years of focusing on
your target; twenty-one years of be-
lieving in yourself, said Cross.
Using humor, Cross told of his
learning to swim, Its pretty sim-
ple; sink and swim. Because of his
friends, he has learned to para-
chute, scuba dive, hunt and do
other activities. He told the audi-
ence, Leading the pack or coming
in last its about finishing. He
also stated, Remember, someone
always cares about you. One day
his friend even thought it was a
good idea to put a weapon is his
hands. Cross has been shooting the
bow and arrow since.
As well as the Olympics, he
dreamed of being a Navy Seal. A
while back, the Seals invited him
for a visit. The Seals brought me
into a training course. Beat the liv-
ing snot out of me! It was beauti-
ful! said Cross.
According to his website; Aaron
Cross, born in Waterloo, Iowa, in
1975, graduated from Augsburg
College in 1997. He competed in
the 1996 Summer Paralympics and
in the 2000 Summer Paralympics,
but did not medal either time. He
went on to compete in the 2002
wheelchair archery world champi-
onships in Nymburk, Czech Repub-
lic. Finally, as a member of the
American team he won bronze in
archery at the 2004 Summer Para-
lympics.
Cross told the Philip students of
his FOCUS friendships, obsta-
cles, caring, unity and self-esteem..
His website states, Always sitting,
but never not in motion and Be-
cause life is about living, not won-
dering.

The Philip City Council, in its
meeting, Tuesday, September 4,
approved the first reading of Ordi-
nance 2012-16, appropriations for
2013. The general fund budget is
$2,595,971, capital poject budget is
$1,998,300.00 and enterprise fund
budgets total $1,317,670.
The council approved paying the
months bills, which totaled
$120,375.99.
The council authorized Finance
Officer Monna Van Lint to utilize
$8,000 of sewer assigned cash for
the unanticipated expenses in-
curred with the installation of the
north lift station, east of the bowl-
ing alley.
The council approved the com-
puter and external drive quote
from Hometown Computer Serv-
ices in the amount of $1469.92. The
city offices have budgeted to switch
out its office computers on a rota-
tion basis.
The lowest monthly bid for
propane was by Fitzgerald Oil
Company at $1.20 per gallon.
A public hearing was held con-
cerning the proposed street im-
provement projects. Some land-
owners who have property affected
by the curb and gutter work were
in attendance. The estimates of
how much each landowner would
have to pay were questioned.
Mayor Mike Vetter said, An esti-
mate is an estimate. If the bids
come in too high, we cant do the
project at all. Finance Officer
Monna Van Lint reassured the au-
dience that only curb, gutter and
approaches would be affected.
There is no ordinance that states
landowners have to put in side-
walks if none were preexisting in
that location.
The curb and gutter assessments
will be for a 10 year period of time.
The charges will not be assessed
until the work has been completed.
Landowners will have the option of
paying the full amount immedi-
ately.
The Haakon County Commis-
sioners met with the city council to
discuss Dakota Mill and Grains
proposed expansion plans, the
Haakon County Regional Railroad
Authority and the countys lease
agreement of city-used offices.
Dakota Mill and Grain had ear-
lier addressed the council with its
basic plans to build a railroad sid-
ing on the north side of the track
just west of the current Dakota
Mill and Grain buildings. The con-
struction would be for four, eventu-
ally six, grain bins to be erected so
approximately 28 rail cars can be
loaded at a time, rather than the
current three. The side rail would
be close to the same elevation as
the current railroad track.
Van Lint said that she did not
think anyone wanted to restrict
construction of the grain bins by
Dakota Mill. But, the main concern
was of what the land work would
do in restricting future flood wa-
ters. Discussion included investi-
gating if the Corps of Engineers
had given permission for the rail-
road, then the Dakota, Minnesota
and Eastern Railroad, to have re-
stricted water flow underneath its
trestles. If that could be corrected,
then the grain bin and railroad sid-
ing construction would be less of a
problem. Van Lint said, I realize
Dakota Mills expansion would be a
great boon. Im sure theres a way
they can do this, but this is a proj-
ect that behooves us all in cooper-
ating. Economic impact wise, its a
good thing.
The newly re-instituted HCRRA
will have seven members; two from
the county, two from Philip, two
from Midland and one other.
When the office rent topic came
up, city attorney Gay Tollefson re-
minded the council that she is also
the states attorney for the county,
and she would understand if the
city felt uncomfortable with any
conflict of interest. The written
rental agreement is a fairly generic
document, but the council wanted
to double check that the verbiage
truly covered the various spaces
used by the city. This would in-
clude the offices and storage spaces
on the fourth floor and the police
department offices on the third
floor.
The council approved building
permits. These include Dustin Lurz
representing Gene Rock to repair
or replace a sewer line. Robert Mc-
Daniel plans on putting in a 10x8
shed. Kevin and Cindy Pfeifle were
approved to do some boulevard
landscaping. Branden West for
DBH Company plans to put deck-
ing over already existing concrete
steps. West River/Lyman-Jones
Rural Water will be putting in a
8x14 concrete pad to hold a gener-
ator.
Last month the street depart-
ment chip sealed N. Center Av-
enue, W. Elm Street and blacktop
on the east side of the church, W.
Pine Street and part of Philip Av-
enue and the swimming pool park-
ing lot.
The water report showed that
6,513,700 gallons of water were
billed out for a months time. The
2012 cumulative water loss is so far
at 9.11 percent.
The swimming pool had over
7,000 attendees, almost 600 more
than last summer. Work has
started on needed exterior repairs
to the pool bathhouse.
A meeting is scheduled with
Colleen Skinner of the South
Dakota Department of Revenue for
Tuesday, September 25, at 1:00
p.m. in the Philip Ambulance meet-
ing room.
The annual conference of the
South Dakota Municipal League
will be October 2-5, in Pierre. Fi-
nance Officer Monna Van Lint and
Deputy Finance Officer Brittany
Smith will be out of the office Octo-
ber 3-5 for the conference. Council
members Trish Larson and Marion
Matt will attend October 4.
The next regular Philip City
Council meeting will be Monday,
October 1, at 7:00 p.m. in the
Haakon County Courthouse com-
munity room.

Certified Winter Wheat Seed
The benefits of planting certi-
fied seed are many. Certified seed
provides correct variety identity
and assures varietal purity. Vari-
etal purity is the first considera-
tion in seed certification, but other
factors such as weeds, diseases, vi-
ability, mechanical purity, and
grading are also important.
Many producers save some of
their winter wheat crop for seed,
and if they do so for a limited num-
ber of years, and have it cleaned
and treated with a fungicide seed
treatment, can get along fine.
Every so often, winter wheat pro-
ducers have a problem with loose
smut, common bunt or other seed-
borne disease, and nearly always,
the seed was bin-run, and not
treated. Applying a fungicide seed
treatment is always recom-
mended, and considered cheap in-
surance, but planting certified
seed is a good practice to increase
the odds of a sustainable crop.
Certified seed certainly costs
more than bin-run seed, but at
todays input costs and market
prices, spending a little more on
quality, disease-free seed can pay
big dividends. If you are looking
for certified seed, the 2012 Winter
Wheat Grower Directory is online
at: http://www.sdstate.edu/ps/
sdcia/upload/2012-WinterWheat-
Directory.pdf, or can be obtained
at Regional Extension Centers. If
you are looking for the yield or
other information on the various
winter wheat varieties, is now
available online in the Resource
Library on iGrow Wheat: http://
igrow.org/agronomy/wheat/.
Sampling Standing Crops for
Nitrates
Many of the corn and other
crops are rapidly drying up and/or
maturing, but questions are still
coming in about sampling and
testing for Nitrates. A number of
producers are interested in testing
standing crops, and for good rea-
sons.
It would be very disappointing
to go to the time, trouble and ex-
pense of cutting and harvesting a
crop, only to test and learn that it
contains too much nitrate to feed
as you want, or feed at all. Ensil-
ing a forage crop will significantly
reduce the nitrate level, but if fea-
sible, many producers would like
to harvest the crop as hay, or graze
it. In either case, it is critical to
know if the nitrate levels will allow
that use.
As a recent caller was advised,
there is no right way to sample
standing crops. The laboratory
testing process is quite accurate,
but the results are only as good as
the sample the lab receives. How
well a sample represents the field
depends on the sampling process.
Some key things to consider: 1.
When a testing lab receives a sam-
ple, the entire sample will be
dried, ground, and well mixed be-
fore testing. 2. The lower portion of
the stalk will contain the highest
level of nitrates. 3. Areas of the
field may vary in nitrate levels.
If you are willing to incur the
testing fees, you may want to sam-
ple good and poor areas of the
field separately, and you may want
to sample upper and lower por-
tions of individual plants sepa-
rately. This information might en-
able you to raise the cutting height
when harvesting to lower the ni-
trate levels in the harvested crop,
or graze the crop with some level
of confidence as long as you re-
move the cattle before they graze
the lower portion of the stalks.
If harvesting a crop as hay, we
recommend sampling the bales
after harvest so you know how to
mix with other feeds. Also know
that grazing potentially toxic for-
ages can be risky.

Stockgrowers President Shane
Kolb said, This is going to be a
great convention with a very inter-
esting lineup of speakers. Our con-
vention is open to the public and
we invite everyone to join us for
this event. I'm sure everyone will
find something interesting.
The convention kicks off Friday,
with opening ceremonies and a
Washington, D.C, update from Bill
Bullard, R-CALF chief of opera-
tions. Throughout the day are
meetings and speakers regarding
recent changes at the South
Dakota Brand Board, animal ID is-
sues, impacts of oil and gas devel-
opment for landowners, discussions
of the beef check-off program, and
a presentation by the Wall FFA ag
issues team regarding prairie dog
management.
The Cattlewomen will hold their
meeting at 9:00 a.m. Friday morn-
ing. Anyone interested in the Cat-
tlewomen's work should plan to at-
tend this meeting and the Friday
luncheon.
The two featured speakers for
Fridays agenda include Greg
Hanes of the United States Meat
Export Federation, who will talk
about changing markets in Asia
and Japan where USMEF is using
check-off dollars to market USA
beef. George Chambers, president
of R-CALF USA from Georgia, will
be the keynote speaker during Fri-
day nights banquet.
On Saturday, the Stockgrowers
animal health committee will hear

Each of our members has an op-
portunity to be a part of directing
Stockgrowers work in the year
ahead.
The convention will wrap up on
Saturday evening with an awards
banquet, scholarship presentation
and a keynote address by South
Dakota Secretary of Agriculture,
Walt Bones. The banquet will be
followed by a live auction fund-
raiser to support the work of the

I'm very proud of the convention
agenda for this year. I think weve
got some great speakers coming to
share their information with us,
and Im really looking forward to
seeing all of our members and
friends in Rapid City for our 121st

Sunday, September 2, I met our
new resident, Marjorie Gaffin, Del-
mont or Armour, actually a farm
somewhere in between. Her daugh-
ter, Linda, was with her.
Sunday, Sherman Ellertons
family held a birthday party for
Sherman on the third floor here at
Somerset Court. One of the gifts
that I saw he had received was a
huge Hershey chocolate bar. Happy
birthday, Sherman!
Maxine Kilmer had a visit from
her son, Jeff.
The whist bunch, Margaret J.,
Irene A., Ina O., and Eleanor
Holmes, had a game and Violet,
Irene Cox, and Vivian played
rummi-cube.
Sunday at lunch, Vivian had
guests in the Somerset Court guest
dining room. Todd and Darlene
Allen and daughter Amber and fos-
ter son, Kleb, age four, who arrived
from Bellevue, Neb. They had been
to Ft. Pierre to visit Todds uncle,
David Hansen. The visit included a
trip to Houck buffalo ranch north
of Pierre to see the large herd of
wild horses. They had visited in
Philip at the home of Todds dad,
Chuck Allen and Etta Erdmann.
Chuck gave Kaleb a boys necklace
that was made of stone beads that
Chuck and Etta made from local
petrified wood. Kaleb wanted me to
know that they were boy beads!
Todd and family also toured Mt.
Rushmore and the Black Hills.
While they were here visiting,
Sheridan Hansen and children
came over. Tiger, Cecelia and
Kaleb drew pictures for me to post
on the wall. Thank you all for your
visit. Lucky for me to have com-
pany because Elaine Backes had
given me a bag of donuts hole and
I would have had to eat them all!
At our church service, we had a
speaker, known only as Mr. Mike.
Thanks, Steve, Jack Humke and
Mr. Mike.
Monday after exercises, Agnes
Tastad, Sara Lee Stark, Susan and
Vivian played a little bananagrams
Monday the activity directors
took the bus with a bunch of Som-
erset Court residents to Crazy
Horse. Wilma Gabrielson, Rapid
City, Floy Olsons cousin and friend
of Marge Self, visited at Somerset
Court.
At Somerset Court we had our
Labor Day picnic in the dining
room. Pork shanks served plain,
barbecued or teriyaki flavored were
the specialty. There was an inter-
esting dessert of a half of a banana
covered with chocolate crowns and
mini marshmallows wrapped in
tinfoil and heated.
We had the whole afternoon for
cards. Becky set up another display
in the first floor glass case. It is all
about Disneyland where she used
to work. She had a good bunch of
awards and memorabilia about
Disneyland. One item was a big,
moving Goofy.
My daughter, Vinnie, and hus-
band, Danny, sent a colorful bunch
of photos via email. Thank you,
kids. The photos were of the bego-
nia festival. It is like a miniature
Rose Parade with the floats cov-
ered with flower petals. The floats
float on the river at Capitola-by-
the-Sea. Dannys daughter was
there with her float, which was
about natural foods. Melissa is a di-
etician, summa cum laude from
University of California Berkeley.
Melissa is promoting Proposition
37 which asks for genetically al-
tered foods to be labeled.
September 8, Gaydell Collier had
a book signing of her new book,
Just Beyond Harmony, at the
local book store. It is about her
family who in the 1960s went to
live in a primitive log cabin west of
Laramie, Wyo. They hoped to in-
still basic values and self-reliance
in their four children. It is based on
diaries and letters.
I plan to ask the Rapid City li-
brary for the book Just Beyond
Harmony.
M.R. Hansen came for scrabble
and we used the word vox which
means voice. It came in handy, as I
was stuck with a V, and there was
an OX on the board.
September 4, Sandy and Susan
gave us a fun activity out in the
Somerset courtyard. It was nice
out, and there were generous Som-
erset bucks. Thanks.
At Somerset Court on September
4, in the afternoon, we were enter-
tained by Mila Belakova. She is an
accomplished pianist. We were im-
pressed with her professionalism.
She is strong and graceful. She
played most of her program from
memory. Thank you to our activity
directors, Sandy, Susan, Shawn
and Amy, for bringing Mila to play
for us, for arranging seating, and
for providing a social hour after the
program. A good share of the resi-
dents at Somerset Court attended
the concert.
My grandson, Andrew Klassen,
San Jose, Calif., sent photos of him
and his family, wife Yiqing and
Pearl, eight, and Marie, six. Pearl
and Marie wrote notes on their
photos. Thank to you all. The pho-
tos are a joy to Great-grandma Vi-
vian.
The Philip Pioneer Review ar-
rived Thursday and had some fine
front page articles with one about
backpacks given to some 20 pupils
at Philip elementary and one about
the Philip Garden Clubs excursion
to the Central States Fair and a
side trip to Cathie Draines delight-
ful garden at her home near Pied-
mont.
Wednesday, September 5, we
had a good crowd for resident coun-
cil. Staff was represented by Ryan
Love, director, nurse Becky, Libby,
our new coordinator, Jeri from the
front office, John head kitchen
staff, Jason head maintenance,
Shawn and Sandy, activity direc-
tors and Shawn presided.
Shawn presented a few high-
lights of September activities such
as cooking with Sandy, grandpar-
ents day where we can invite our
grandchildren and we will have ice
cream. There is a trip to a donut
shop, foot care clinic with Dr. Con-
rad, lunch at Wall Drug, senior
games in the courtyard if the
weather is good, Halley Sisters
here and you are to wear a tie to
get Somerset bucks, Women Who
Care, we will play a new game,
phase 10, picnic in the park, ice
cream trip, fall festival where there
will be snacks.
There were several compliments
of various menu foods and thanks
for having Mila Belakova here to
entertain us. Jeri thanked resi-
dents for helping new residents
find their way around Somerset
Court.
You should see the new Somerset
Court commercial. It is ever so de-
lightful. John Buurma, Charlie
Hathaway and Ray Kraemer are
three card players and Shawn is
the dealer.
I went to Berniece Christiansons
apartment to see her beautiful cro-
cheted pieces. Her apartment is
decorated with doilies, table cloths
and afghans that she has cro-
cheted.
Thursday, September 6, 2012, at
Somerset Court, we had fun at
goofy golf. All players received gen-
erous Somerset bucks. Thank you,
Shawn and Susan, for picking up
balls for us.
Bingo was another activity
played on Thursday and for snack
and chat we had assorted crackers
and meat and cheese.
The Philip Pioneer Review ar-
rived with a fine feature story
about Scotchman Industries man-
ufacturing the hydraulic iron
worker for 45 years. The 1967
model is still a highly usable ver-
sion. The 2012 models show many
changes for different aspects of iron
working and in different sizes.
Another front page article shows
West Central Electrics sign down
by Pierre. That has a picture of
Theresa Deuchar with the head-
line: Rural School Teachers are a
Part of Our Electric Cooperative.
Theresa teaches at Deep Creek, a
rural school which had been closed
for seven years and has re-opened
this fall.
Somerset Court resident Pat Sta-
ley sometimes works at her limer-
icks. A new one is There was this
man called Tim, All the girls were
nuts about him. He wore slick
pants and could really dance. That
kept him handsome and slim! Pat
has a few starters. See what you
can make with them. There was
this girl called Judy, At times she
was really quite moody I knew
a cowboy called Bert, Who always
wore a red shirt.
Friday, September 7, at Somer-
set Court, we had the activity of
cooking with Sandy. Susan and
Shawn were there to help, too. The
recipe was grandmas pumpkin
bread. Fred ran the mixer, and also
knocked the bubbles out of the
dough in the pans. Others who at-
tended were Addie, Eileen, Anne,
and Mary Lou. Here is the recipe:
cream together 2/3 cup shortening,
two and 2/3 cups sugar, four eggs,
one 15 ounce can of pumpkin, 2/3
cup water, three and 1/2 cups all
purpose flour, one teaspoon baking
powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, one tea-
spoon ground nutmeg, and 2/3 cup
of chopped walnuts or pecans
which are optional. I has to bake
for about an hour.
Thank you to Eileen Tenold who
invited me to come to her apart-
ment and take a photo of her pretty
fall decorations. Sunflowers are the
basis of her motif.
M.R. Hansen came for scrabble
and he put up my fall deco, which
is a sprig of colorful plastic fall
leaves. Thank you, M.R. He also
brought some pears from their tree.
Very sweet and juicy. Thank you,
Barbara. Thanks to Midwest Coop-
eratives for sending a circular re-
minding propane users to fill their
tanks.
My daughter, Vinnie Hansen,
emailed and announced the official
launch/ reading of her sixth Carol
Sabala Mystery, Art, Wine, and
Bullets.
Thank you to my nephew,
Leonard Meyer, Greenfield, Ind.,
(where by the way, it has rained
generously recently) sent email
photos about some rare orchids
that grow at very high elevations
and have monkey faces.
I loved Cathie Draines garden-
ing column in the September 7,
2012, Rapid City Journal. She says
to savor each slight change in the
seasons, the temperature, the color
changes in the grass and leaves,
the maturing of vegetables and
grains. She refers to James Whit-
comb Rileys Hoosier vernacular
style used in his old favorite poem,
When the Frost is on the Punkin
and the Fodders in the Shock.

Showing of oil was discovered at
Standing Butte. The circumstances
are these. The well has been idle
for a year on the account of funds.
The cap was taken off the well one
day last week and baling com-
menced to rid the well of accumu-
lated water. The bales brought up
from a depth of seventy-five feet, as
we understand, what was thought
to be crude oil. The oil was sent to
the state chemist at Vermillion and
he made a report by telegram that
the sample classified the product
with that found in Louisiana, a
high grade oil that commands a
premium of seventy-five cents per
barrel at the present time.

Pass through the halls of a nursing home, and you might find yourself
hoping God takes you sooner than later. Why do some people linger when
they would so clearly be better off in Heaven? Because they have a
purpose, even if it is to stir compassion in others. We all have a purpose,
and we should pray for the strength to fulfill it.
But if I
live in the
flesh, this is
the fruit of my
labour. yet what
I shall choose I wot
not. For I am in a strait
betwixt two, having a desire to
depart, and to be with Christ, which is
far better. Nevertheless to abide in the flesh
is more needful for you.

Curt Pate speaker at Dakota
Country Lifestyles, Sept. 30
Representative Kristi Noem has
issued the following statement on
the anniversary of the September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
September 11, 2001 is a day we
will never forget. Eleven years ago,
nearly 3,000 Americans were killed
in a devastating act of terror that
left thousands of children without
parents and countless Americans
without a son, daughter, sister,
brother, best friend or spouse.
While the horror of that day re-
mains imprinted in our minds, so
too does Americas response. What
the terrorists didnt count on was
the resilient spirit of the American
people. In South Dakota, communi-
ties and families banded together
to pray and offer support to our
fallen fellow Americans and their
loved ones. Brave men and women
from South Dakota and across the
country answered the call and de-
ployed thousands of miles away to
defend our way of life.
Today is a day to honor the
memory of those who were lost on
that horrible day, and to pay a trib-
ute to all who have fallen fighting
for our country ever since. Septem-
ber 11 is a reminder of who we lost,
but also a reminder of all we have
to defend. I hope every South
Dakotan will take a moment to re-
flect and remember today.

anniversary of September 11, 2001

Getting up this Sunday morn-
ing and looking at the outdoor
temperature it showed 34. We
seem to be on a yo-yo ride of
changing temperatures lately.
Thats okay though dont you
think? I do believe everyone is
ready for some cooler temp-era-
tures. My favorite temperatures
are those middle 70s. Perfect
weather. You can open the win-
dows and enjoy the outdoors.
Theres just something about hav-
ing the windows open to put a per-
son more in the mood to do house-
cleaning. Why would that be bet-
ter then cleaning with air condi-
tioning? I cant answer that, all I
know is that for me personally, I
like having the windows open. Ive
noticed the leaves on the trees are
slowly beginning to change color
and my sedums in my rock garden
are getting closer to their burnt
orange color of fall. At certain
times in the summer, they turn
yellow, but not this summer,
guess it was just too hot and too
dry. We desperately need rain.
The lands are crying for moisture.
Jerry started planting winter
wheat. He doesnt remember ever
planting wheat in drier summer
fallow. But if you dont get it
planted and fall showers come,
you may not be able to get in the
field. So, you do the best you can,
plant, in anticipation of moisture.
Release time begins at the three
churches in Midland September
12 from 2:30 to 3:40. Trinity

Church holds their classes in the
basement of the church. School
has officially begun as activities
are a plenty.
Pre-school began at the Midland

their teacher. Those in pre-school
this year are Cole Finn, Ridge
Furnival, Evan Blye, Kalli Fos-

watch for advertising of events
and times. This annual event has
been going on for many, many
years. From the sounds of things,
plans are being made for some
20th and 50th school reunions, as
well. There will be a 5K
walk/run/bike for the local 4-H
club with registration at 8:00 a.m.
Mountain Time at the city park
with the event to begin at 9:00
a.m. So plan on coming, enter in
some of the events, and have a
chance to visit with folks you dont
often see. Kadoka Area School will
be having homecoming on Sep-
tember 21 so it is going to be a
very busy weekend for students
and parents.
Wednesday was a busy day at
the Midland Library. The front
door to the library was becoming
difficult to open. It is a solid old
door, as the building was the for-
mer Masonic Temple for many
years. I mentioned it to Jerry. He
had some free time so we headed
for the library. He took a file to it
and sprayed it with W-D 40,
works like a charm. Next project
was cutting down the dried up hol-
lyhocks and a Chinese elm grow-
ing to close to the building, then
fixing the library sign as it was
getting the leans. There are just
some projects that need a mans
help. Its always a good feeling to
get those fall jobs done. Jenna
Finn, Cass and Cole, and Angel
Nemec, Tukker and Emry,
stopped in at the library. While
the kids and librarian Karel
Reiman were busy with checking
out books and videos, Angel re-
placed burned out light bulbs and
Jenna, with phone help from Ron
Larson of Philip, got a glitch in the
computer fixed. So, it was a suc-
cessful day. We did have to
chuckle, as Cass, Cole and Tukker
were sitting at the little table at
the back of the library, when, not
wanting to be out done, little one-
year-old Emry Jo climbed up on a
chair and sat with the big boys. It
was a Kodak moment.
Roy and Carol Hunt spent
Labor Day weekend in Riverton,
Wyo., visiting cousins Dan and
Dorothy Root. They said they did-
nt do anything special, just en-
joyed a relaxing time of visiting.
Mariah (Evans) Heaton arrived
at the home of her aunt and uncle,
Clint and Prerry Saucerman,
Wednesday evening. Mariah and
her husband, Jesse, live at Oak
Creek, Wis. For those who may
not know, Jesse is the son of
Sandy (Van Tassel) and Dennis
Heaton of the Ottumwa area.
Thursday, Mariah, her grand-
mother and Prerrys mom, Marlin
Evans, Philip, and Prerry headed
for Rapid City where Marlin had
an appointment to have some skin
cancers removed. Mariah spent
Thursday night with her grand-
mother, Marlin. Friday, Mariah
had dinner with Sandy Heaton in
Philip and then went to Interior to
visit her mom, Clover. Clover is
Prerrys sister and Marlins
daughter. Friday evening, Mariah
and Andrea Carley and her
daughter, Millie, Philip, left for
Salt Lake City, Utah, to celebrate
the wedding of Taylor Holman
who was a school classmate of
Mariahs and was at Andreas hair
salon on a student school to work
program. Mariah, Andrea and
Millie returned to Philip Sunday
morning, Mariah visited her
grandmother, Marlin, before
heading back to Oak Creek.
Saturday, Wilma Saucerman,
Marlin Evans and Clint and Pre-
rry Saucerman went to Rapid City
to celebrate Sawyer Saucermans
eighth birthday. Sawyer is the son
of Tel and Ellie (Nemec) Saucer-
man, Wilma and Marlin are his
great-grandmothers and he is
Clint and Prerrys grandson. The
group got to see a soccer game of
Sawyers and Calla Volhken, who
are each on separate teams, but
the games were side by side,
which made it nice. Calla is the
daughter of Noel (Weichman)
Volhken and Wilma is Callas
great-grandmother. Mark and
Glenda Nemec, Hill City, were
also at the birthday party. Sawyer
is their grandson. Noel, Devlon,
Bella and Calla joined everyone at
Tel and Ellies.
Ernie Nemec became ill Tues-
day, September 4, and was admit-
ted to Rapid City Regional Hospi-
tal where he was a patient for six
days. He was able to come home
this Monday, September 10. His
son, Randy and Holly Nemec
drove Ernie and Laurel to Rapid.
Family there to be with Ernie and
Laurel were Randy and Holly,
Barby Larson and Becky Thomp-
son, both of Sioux Falls. Laurel re-
ports it is good to be home and for
Ernie to recover in familiar sur-
roundings. Hospitals are a good
place to be when needed, but there
is nothing like home. We wish
Ernie Gods speed in healing.
Karel Reiman attended Em-
manuel Lutheran Church at
Creighton for Mission Festival
Day Sunday, September 9. It is a
special Sunday in which the im-
portance of mission work is
stressed. A young lady who had
been a banker at one time and
then felt called to do mission work
was the guest speaker. She had
just returned from two years of
mission work in Hong Kong. Her
plans are to remain in the states
and train others for mission work.
Karel reported that she was a very
interesting and motivational
speaker. Karls brother, Ed and
Linda Eisenbraun, her mom,
Goldie Eisenbraun, and her sister,
Paula Eisenbraun, all of Rapid
City, were also there. Emmanuel
Lutheran holds many memories
for the Eisenbraun family as it
was the church they attended
when living at Creighton. Every-
one was enjoying a noon meal in
the basement of the church when
four young girls came rushing in
telling of a fire. The church sits
high on a hill and as everyone
rushed outside. They could see
black smoke and flames from the
fire. The men headed out to get
pickups and water tanks and the
local fire department had been
called. David Eisenbraun and his
wife lived on the place where the
fire was and ran a dairy farm at
one time, being older and now liv-
ing in town, they still own the
land and come out there every
once in a while. They happened to
be doing some things in the house
on that particular day. Two barns
and two horses burned in the fire.
Mission Festival Sunday turned
out to be more then they expected.
The men and the fire department
were on a different sort of mission,
a mission of working together to
put out the fire.
Jenna Finn, Cass and Cole,
spent the weekend with her par-
ents, Gene and Theresa Deuchar,
Milesville, helping with chores in-
side and outside and attending
church Saturday evening at St.
Marys Catholic Church. Speaking
of Theresa, wasnt that promo-
tional billboard by West Central
Electric, with Deep Creek school
teacher, Theresa Deuchar, sitting
on a desk next to the blackboard
with the motto, Rural School
Teachers are a Part of Our Elec-
tric Cooperative, just the neatest
billboard. For anyone having had
the privilege of going to a country
school, they hold a whole lot of
memories. The sign is one mile
south of Ft. Pierre along Highway
83. Congratulations, Theresa, and
thanks to West Central Electric
for making folks aware of country
schools.
Happy birthday wishes to Marie
Addison, Murdo, and Keith Emer-
son, Philip, who recently cele-
brated their 90th birthdays and to
Deloris Iversen, Murdo, who re-
cently turned 80 years old.
Nikki (Baeza) Smith and
Cooper, Tacoma, Wash., visited
Diana Baeza in Midland and Jim
and Betty Smith in Philip. They

Ruby Huston, Doug and June
Houston and family, all of Mid-
land. Leandra Arthur and girls,
Philip, David Baeza, Angie and
Jordana, Gillette, Wyo., and Tony,
IV and Torrance Baeza, Wall, also
visited with Nikki and Cooper
while they were in Midland. Nikki
enjoyed the Midland Market Fri-
day having a chance to visit with
folks she knows and hasnt seen
for some time. She was home vis-
iting family and friends for three
weeks.
Irene (Quatier) and John Hub-
bard, Gillette, Wyo., spent a cou-
ple of days at Chamberlain visit-
ing and fishing with Irenes sister,
Jean (Quatier) and Don Hennies,
Sioux Falls. Irene and John were
at Midland Market Friday with
friends Jim and Jessie (Liver-
more) Root. Jessie and Irene go
back a long ways, they both had
worked for Lyle Hunt at his hard-
ware store, remembering the soda
fountain shop he had as well, they
graduated high school together
and also nursing school and have
been friends since sixth grade.
And, as the story goes, whenever
they see each other, its as if it was
yesterday. Irene and John spent
Friday night with Jim and Jessie
before heading back to Gillette.
Irene, Jean, Jessie and Jim all
graduated from Midland High
School.
Pat and Sophie Foley went to
the Black Hills Monday meeting
up with Larry Larson, Marcia,
Jean and Travis Larson, Leah
(Larson) and Drew McEleney who
all came for a get-together in
Spearfish Canyon. Ashley
Schofield, who is attending Black
Hills State University in
Spearfish, also joined them for a
picnic.
Barb Jones spent a few days
last week in Howard visiting her
daughter, Carrie, Cole, Logan and
Ava Mentele. She went to help
Carrie with the kids as Carrie was
working full time while her hus-
band, Wes, was gone on a week-
long elk hunting trip in Colorado.
Wes and a friend set up camp and
archery hunted. He called home
Wednesday and said he had shot
a bull elk. This was his first bow
and arrow hunt for an elk, so was
happy about his success.
Morris Jones joined friends of
Boyd Waara at the First National
Bank in Philip, Friday, to wish
Boyd a happy retirement from his
job in the bank.
Jen Jones wrote on update on
her dad, Jake Jacobsen, Hot
Springs, who was diagnosed with
esophageal cancer. He went in on
August 22 for the removal of his
cancerous tumor at Rapid City Re-
gional Hospital. The doctors had a
complication with a tear where
the hepatic vein and the vena cava
meet. They were able to repair it,
but had to reschedule the surgery
to August 27. That surgery went
well and dad was sent home on
September 7. He is home recover-
ing and is very grateful to be in
the comfort of his own home. We
will find out within the next 30
days if dad will have to have
chemo and radiation treatments.
Thank you for your prayers for my
dad. We wish Jake Gods healing.
Stetson Jones is the son of Jeff
and Jen Jones of Midland. Jen re-
ported that Stetson had his last
visit to Cincinnati Children's Hos-
pital on September 5. He had an
eye exam and his port removed.
Everything went well and now
Stetson has to have routine check
ups. He will have to have a MRI
and a visit with a pediatric oncol-
ogist every six months for two
years. We will be able to do this in
Sioux Falls. He will have to have
blood work every three months for
one year and we will do this in
Philip. He will have to have an eye
exam on his seeing eye every three
months for one year at Rapid City.
Our only long distance travel will
be to Denver for his prosthetic eye
if we have any issues.
It has been quite a journey for
Jeff, Jen, and Stetson. God has
walked this journey with them, to
be sure. Our prayers continue for
Gods healing touch on their jour-
ney. Thanks Jen for the update on
your dad and on Stetson.
Thursday, Gene and Audrey
Jones drove to Bernadette and
Dick Knox's home to spend the
night on their way to Madison
where Gene played softball in a 60
years and older tournament. The
team he played on won third
place. Niece, Vicki Bruce Erick-
son, daughter of Bill and Polly
Bruce, came to visit and watch the
games after she got off work.
Later, she joined her aunt and
uncle for supper. Friday morning,
the Joneses headed north to Wa-
tertown where Gene's Pierre team
of 50 and over played in the State
Senior Olympic games. They
played five games, winning first
place in their pool, on Saturday
and Sunday. Sunday, the Joneses
returned to Bernadette and Dick
Knox's home to again spend the
night before returning home Mon-
day.
It is time to close my news col-
umn for another week. Monday
turned out to be a very hot day
with temperatures of right at 100
and there are no rain clouds in
sight. Continue to pray for rain, be
safe and watchful as our parched
earth is a fire waiting to happen.
This day, September 11.
2012, is the 11th anniversary of a
day none of us will ever forget, the
day the Twin Towers were hit and
crumbled to the ground leaving
people with an unbelievable mem-
ory of that tragic day. That day
changed many things forever, but
that day did not defeat us, and
from that tragedy came many
heart-warming stories. I leave you
with a quote from Eleanor Roo-
sevelt, The future belongs to
those who believe in the beauty of
their dreams. And following the
tragedy of September 11th people
moved forward and dared to
dream and to believe. That quote
of Eleanor Roosevelts was
stamped on the envelope of one of
my birthday cards, I liked what it
had to say, and with the drought
weve experienced this summer,
and other things going on in our
world, we can find strength and
hope in that quote. Have a good
week and dont lose sight of your
dreams.

A taste of autumn is in the air
Hello from Rochester, Minn. The
news will be pretty brief and I will
try to keep it as interesting as pos-
sible. Congratulations to Kennedy
Implement on the honor of being
an outstanding business. The
Rapid City Journal had a nice
write up as well as Farm Journal.
Time flies, Coyle's Super Valu hit a
decade (10 years) of being in busi-
ness and right along with that
Scotchman Industries hit a mile-
stone of 45 years.
Well, Labor Day started off
bright and early for Vi and Don
Moody as they had made plans to
do a lot of catch up work at their
Rapid Valley house. They visited
with the man who had just finished
haying the valley property owned
by Don and Vi and both sides of
Rapid Creek yielded a second cut-
ting for the season. A nice horse
hay crop is about all the second cut-
ting produced.
Sandee Gittings was in Rapid
City Monday on business. She vis-
ited Shirley Buls on the way home.
Monday at our place, we had com-
pany of Dale O'Connell and Tony
Harty in the morning and Carol
Solon stopped after getting off
work. While I was working in the
front of the house, a car pulled in
and out jumped our starving
artist friend, Bernd Hillman, from
Minnesota and his uncle from Ger-
many. They were in the area sight-
seeing and Bernd came by to
stretch a painting done by my
grandma, Isabelle (Little) Weeks,
around 1889. It took three of us,
but when he got done, the canvas
was nice and tight. Next time, he
plans to do some restoration on it.
We saw them at breakfast Tuesday
morning, then they were gone back
to Minnesota.
Tony Harty made a trip to the
Herber ranch for a visit Monday,
arriving just after some cattle had
been worked. He enjoyed cribbage
with sister-in-law Barbara Herber.
Bernard Herber grabbed a fishing
pole and went fishing. He came
back with a nice mess of fish, but
Tony declined supper with them.
George and Kinsey Gittings took
the rake that George borrowed
back to Kelly Blair Monday
evening.
Tuesday morning, we were
pleasantly surprised to have John
Rentschler from Howard come by
for a visit. John and wife Lela have
been friends since in the 80s when
we both were master pork produc-
ers.
Tuesday, Tony Harty had break-
fast out and visited with Shirley
Hair later in the day.
Kinsey and Natalie Gittings had
supper in town Tuesday evening.
Kohen spent the time with Great-
grandpa and Great-grandma Git-
tings.
Tuesday and Wednesday, Don
and Vi Moody had their vehicles all
serviced for the pre-winter checks
and ran errands around Rapid to
fix and replace some plumbing
items. They enjoyed the balmy
weather, but no moisture came to
the area so its getting pretty dry
there also.Water sprinklers came
out again and the wind did blow
hard enough to pop a pretty good
sized branch off a huge cottonwood
tree in Moody's front yard but
caused no damage. It had to be
pulled off from part of the entry
road.
Wednesday found Tony Harty
out mowing weeds in and around
his yard as well as on some prop-
erty Wilma Stout has. He stirred
up enough pollen to have his eyes
give him a fit before he called it a
day. Dale Koehn visited with Tony
while out taking care of his dog.
Tony visited with Shirley Hair
later in the day.
Thursday, Don Moody made his
check at the ranch and everything
was all in fine order except for
being dry down that way as well.
Everyone is grateful for the WR/L-
J Rural Water to rely on for their
livestock this summer as the
drought seems to continue on in a
lots of areas in Haakon and Jack-
son counties.
Thursday, Tony Harty had
breakfast out, then visited with
Shirley Hair before heading off to
Wanblee to visit at the home of his
sister, Monica and Pat Weaver and
check on how Pat was getting along
after his surgery. Pat was getting
in his exercise and Tony enjoyed
some fresh apple pie Monica had
baked. A call came about a fire, so
everyone went looking for it, glad
to find that it had burned itself out.
When he got back to Kadoka, he
visited Russ Hattel as well as
Kathy Brown. His nephews, John
and Jim Herber, stopped for a visit
with Tony before they went to the
volleyball game that evening.
Bill mustered up enough energy
to spend a few afternoons in the
card room in Philip. Joining all his
friends is for sure going to help him
heal faster.
Sandee Gittings was in the
Kadoka area Thursday afternoon
and visited Bill and Marsha
Sumpter.
Friday at Rapid Valley, a vehicle
pulled into the yard at Don and Vi's
and tried to persuade them into
paving the rest of their road into
their house, but Don elected to get
more prices to compare, so put that
on hold for the time being.A letter
came to the Moody's in Rapid Val-
ley involving the new bike path
route following the aban-
doned Chicago, Milwaukee. St.
Paul railroad track from Rapid
City to Kadoka. This letter was
sent because they own landin the
Valley that abuts the state land
that the railroad corridor is
on.This feasibility study is by the
West River Trails Coalition and
will involve four public meetings
(two in Rapid City and two in
Kadoka). In the meantime, there
will be a 5K walk, run, bike, etc.,
walk September 29 in Kadoka,
starting at the Pearl Hotel.
Friday, I and Phyllis Word kept
appointments in Rapid City. Phyl-
lis stayed over in Rapid that
evening and I hurried home to get
some things done up for when
Carol Kroetch stopped by after
school.
George, Sandee, Kinsey, Natalie
and Kohen Gittings met Kelly
Blair and Tom and Margie Blair,
Ekalaka, Mont., in town for supper
Friday evening.
It rained in Kadoka, more than
nine inches. (That is nine inches
between drops!) Tony left his win-
dows down and discovered the seat
was at least a little damp when he
went to breakfast. He visited
Shirley Hair then took care of his
eyes, that were still bothering from
his day of mowing.
Friday afternoon, Ralph and
Cathy Fiedler headed for Philip ar-
riving at the Richard Stewart
home. They had supper downtown
together, then went back to the
house and called it a night so they
could get an early Saturday morn-
ing start for Beresford. Ralph,
Cathy, Richard and Diana stopped
in Kennebec at Kellie (Stewart)
Halversons to drop some things
off. Then on the road again. They
arrived at Beau and Jamie Stew-
arts in time for lunch. Jeb and

The Philip Scotties football team
began its 2012 season by challeng-
ing the Jones County Coyotes at
Murdo, Friday, August 31.
The Scotties held the Coyotes to
just eight points, but could them-
selves put only three points on the
scoreboard.
The first quarter saw a 56-yard
run by Jones Countys Philip Math-
ews to the Coyotes end zone for six
points. The Scotties stopped the
conversion attempt. Later in the
quarter, Philips Chaney Burns
kicked a field goal to put three
points on the scoreboard for the
Scotties.
The second quarter contained
the last points to be scored during
the game. The Scotties had posses-
sion while backed in Jones County
territory. Philips snap of the ball
during a punt play went high and
into the end zone, thus being auto-
matically called a two-point safety
for Jones County.
The second half saw hard plays
and continual back and forth ac-
tion, but the 3-8 score did not
change.
The Scotties earned 14 first
down in the nights action. They
were assessed five five-yard penal-
ties. Jones County had 15 first
downs and five five-yard, one 10-
yard and three 15-yard penalties.
Philips passing game was lead
by Tate DeJong, who threw one
pass attempt that recorded a 47
yard gain for the Scotties. Quarter-
back Gavin Brucklacher tried four
passes, but he and the receivers
were not able to connect.
The Philip rushing game had
four players lead the statistics. De-
Jong was given the ball to run 11
plays, in which he gained a total of
65 yards. Casey Reder also had 11
carries, for a total of 24 yards. Paul
Guptill used his two carries to gain
10 yards for the Scotties. Ryan Van
Tassel gained a total of six yards
with his two carries.
Defensively, the Scotties team
showed a large percentage of as-
sisted tackling. Cassidy Schnabel
racked up two solo tackles and 13
assists. Reed Johnson added two
solo tackles and 11 assists. Ben
Stangle contributed one solo and
11 assists. Jade Berry ended the
game with four solo tackles and
eight assists, while Quade Slovek
finished with three solo and eight
assist tackles and a quarterback
sack.

ter. They added 15 more in the sec-
ond quarter, while Philips Chaney

River adding a 94-yard touchdown
and an extra point kick. That
ended the Tigers scoring for the
rest of the game.
The second half saw Philips Tate
DeJong rush in a 17-yard play for
six points, followed by a Burns
kicked extra point. The fourth
quarter saw Paul Guptill run 65
yards for a touchdown, followed by
Casey Reder making good the con-
version play. Guptill was given the
ball again for a 15-yard touchdown,
and DeJong completed the conve-
rion from Brucklacher to end the
game for the Scotties with 26
points.

Gavin Brucklacher throwing the
ball 12 times with six completions
for 118 yards and one touchdown.

total of 197 yards. Cassidy Schn-
abel went 65 yards in his 10 car-
ries. Reder had four carries for a
total of 22 yards, and Ryan Van
Tassel was given the ball four
times for a total of eight yards.

The annual HuntSAFE course in
Midland will be held Saturday,
September 29.
This free safety class (Hunt
Safety And Firearms Education) is
open to anyone 11 years old and up.
It will be at the Open Bible Fellow-
ship hall starting at 8:00 a.m. Any-
one taking the class will need a
sack lunch. Materials for the class
will be available to be picked up
from course instructor Tom Par-
quet after September 3. Preregis-
tration is not mandatory, but is en-
couraged and appreciated. For
more information, contact Parquet
at tep@gwtc.net or 843-2515 after
5:00 p.m.
South Dakota's HuntSAFE
courses are designed for youth age
12 through 15. Youth who are 11
may participate, but will not be is-
sued a hunter safety certification
card until their 12th birthday.
Adults are also welcome and in-
vited to attend. Other states re-
quire a hunters safety course to
have been taken by any adult
hunter who wishes to hunt in that
state.
There are three primary objec-
tives for courses. One is to teach
safe handling of firearms, in the
home as well as in the field. One is
to develop safe, responsible and
knowledgeable hunters who are
aware of our hunting heritage and
who understand the hunter's role
and relationship with the wildlife
and the land. The other is to certify
youth under the age of 16, making
them eligible to apply for hunting
licenses.
Students who successfully com-
plete a HuntSAFE course receive
an identification card containing
their name, date of certification, a
certification number and the signa-
ture of the instructor. Until the
student is 16, a parent or guardian
must present the HuntSAFE certi-
fication card to a licensed vendor
when purchasing the young per-
son's hunting license. The parent
or guardian agrees, by signing the
license application, to accompany
the student in the field while he or
she is hunting until they are 16.

team position.
by Coach Ralph Kroetch
Sunny and cool on a spectater
friendly Wall Golf Course set the
stage for the first ever Wall Cross
Country Invitational meet, Satur-
day, September 8.
The boys varsity race opened
with Philip sophomores Tristen
Rush and Blake Martinez and
freshmen Keegan Burnett and
Garrett Snook racing for the Scot-
ties. They have learned that too
fast of a start makes for a miser-
able race. The final stages of this
race proved that, with Rush over-
taking White Rivers Mathew
Beardt and Duprees Nate Widow
in the final 150 meters. Rush
sprinted past both to place fifth
with a time of 18:18. Martinezs
time of 18:35 gave him eighth
place. Snook exchanged spots
throughout the race with Lyman
and White River runners to place
11th in a time of 20:03 in his sec-
ond ever varsity race. Burnett, also
running his second ever 5,000
meter race, outpaced Faiths Jarius
Halligan for the 14th position. The
boys team accrued 17 points to
earn second place as a team to
Duprees 10 points.
The Scotties girls entered a var-
sity team for the first time this sea-
son. Holly Iwan lead them to a sec-
ond place finish with 12 points, be-
hind Lymans nine points. A
Kadoka runner charged into a com-
manding early lead. Iwan said to
Lymans Sara Herman, We will
stay right here and wait for her to
come back. At the one mile mark,
Iwan held the lead and Herman in
second. Iwan put up an unsur-
mountable 40 second lead. With a
time of 17:00, Iwan earned her first
win of 2012.
Junior Allison Pekron and eighth
grader Shay Hand worked together
to finish 12th and 13th, with times
of 20:01 and 20:16 respectively.
Scotties seventh grader Conner
Dekker and eighth grader Damian
Bartels ran the 4,000 meter boys
junior varsity run. Both ran well,
with Bartels placing 11th, improv-
ing his course best by 24 seconds at
19:05. Dekker fought through a
sore hamstring to place 19th, cut-
ting an amazing 4:57 from his best
4,000 meter time, at 23:04.
The Scotties competed next on
Monday, September 10, on the
White River airport. Their follow-
ing meets will be September 19 at
the Walls Western Great Plains
Conference meet and September 21
at a meet in Rapid City.

Philip again hosted the annual
South Dakota Civil Air Patrol
training weekend, August 3-4.
Despite the windy conditions this
year, 11 cadets and 23 adults from
across the state attended.
Major Lee Vaughan and 1st Lt.
Roberta Vaughan, Philip, and Mar-
sha Sumpter, Kadoka, represented
the Philip Flight. They joined four
members of the Pierre Squadron
Jon Becker, cadets Hannah and
Evan Becker, and Lt. Col. Myra
Christensen. Other attending
squadrons were from Sioux Falls,
Rapid City, Custer and Spearfish.
Younger members were given
orientation rides in the Black Hills
Soaring Clubs Schweitzer 2-22
glider, piloted by Lt. Col. Gary
Hewett, Rapid City. 1st Lt. Marty
Larson towed the glider into the
sky with South Dakota CAPs
Cessna 182.
As increasing winds began to
make glider flights impossible,
CAP members turned to search
and rescue training and orientation
rides in Cessna 172 and 182 air-
craft. Col. Mike Beason, mission in-
cident commander from Rapid
City, gave orders for the launching
of an aircraft for a training mis-
sion. It was piloted by Major. Craig
Goodrich, Rapid City, with J.
Becker and Andy Tate filling out
the crew. The assigned ground
team was lead by Capt. Brian
Sharp. The second mission, a photo
opportunity over the Conata Basin
south of the Badlands, was
launched with Christensen at the
controls.
L. Vaughan reported that during
the missions he was in his ele-
ment on the flight line, ensuring
the safety of the cadets. Sumpter
supported the logistics for the
weekend activities. 1st Lt. William
Collister, Spearfish, was the wing
director of communications, while
Lt. Col. Dave Jeferies, Rapid City
and R. Vaughan upgraded the
squadrons radios according to
needed frequencies.
The weekend summary stated
that, all in all, it was a very fun,
busy exercise with much accom-
plished and old acquaintances re-
newed.

Local residents have the oppor-
tunity to celebrate life by joining in
the community blood drive spon-
sored by the Knights of Columbus
from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Tues-
day, September 18, in the Fine Arts
Building at the Philip High School.
And now, not only will people
have a great feeling after donating
blood at the drive, but they will be
able to check their total cholesterol
level. United Blood services now of-
fers free cholesterol testing to blood
donors. United Blood Services does
a total cholesterol test that allows
donors to eat before the test no
fasting is required.
We use the total cholesterol test
because it is important for donors
to have a healthy meal before they
donate, said Lori Liebman, United
Blood Services donor recruitment
director. It is recommended that
adults 20 years and older have a
different cholesterol test, called a
lipoprotien profile, every five years.
A lipoprotein profile requires a 12-
hour fast and is done at a physi-
cians office or lab.
Donors can check their confiden-
tial results at www.bloodhero.com
the week after their donation.
Blood donors must be 16 years or
older and in good health. Addi-
tional height/weight requirements
apply to donors 22 and younger,
and donors who are 16, or 17 in cer-
tain areas, must have signed per-
mission from a parent or guardian.
Donors are asked to bring a photo
ID and donor card every time they
donate. First time donors receive a
donor card with their blood type in
the mail shortly after the ir first
donaton.
People sho wish to donate at the
blood drive may schedule an ap-
pointment by calling Rick Palecek

Council reviewed project status updates
for the Land Acquisition and Environmen-
tal Assessment (LA/EA) and the Medium
ntensity Runway Lighting (MRL) Design
projects.
Motion was made by Henrie, seconded
by Harry to authorize Mayor Vetter's sig-
nature on the State of South Dakota's
grant agreement for the MRL project.
This covers the State's contribution of 8%
of the project costs. Motion carried.
t was noted that a pre-construction meet-
ing for the MRL project will be held on
Thursday, Sept. 13, at 3:45 p.m. in the
Community Room. The proposed start
date for the project is Sept. 17, 2012.
Council then went on to review the follow-
ing building permits as presented: Dustin
Lurz for Gene Rock - repair/replace
sewer line; Robert McDaniel - 10'x8'
shed; Kevin & Cindy Pfeifle - boulevard
landscaping; Branden West for DBH
Company - decking over existing con-
crete steps; and, West River/Lyman
Jones (WR/L-J) Rural Water - 8'x14' con-
crete pad.
Street/Sewer Supt. Coyle advised that
WR/LJ's proposed concrete pad sight
may cover their sewer line. n turn, they
may want to consider moving it to the
south, but it would be at their discretion.
Following review, motion was made by
Harry, seconded by Gartner to approve
the above building permits as presented.
Motion carried.
Gartner to approve the 1st reading of
Ord. #2012-16, 2013 Municipal Appropri-
ations Ordinance. Motion carried with all
members voting aye. (SEE BELOW)
Council reviewed the following L/P
Propane bids received this month:
Aug. 8, 2012
Fitzgerald Oil Company..........$1.20/gal.
Midwest Cooperatives ............$1.25/gal.

FO Van Lint presented a quote from
Hometown Computer Service for a Dell
computer and external floppy disk drive in
the amount of $1,469.92. She noted that
every five years, computers in the finance
office are updated. Her current computer
was purchased in 2007 and will be trans-
ferred to PWD Reckling for his use. t was
also noted that the purchase of the new
computer was appropriated for in 2012.
Following, motion was made by Harry,
seconded by Henrie to approve the com-
puter and external floppy disk drive quote
as presented. Motion carried.
Council was informed that the installation
of the north lift station, located in the alley
running east and west between Hoag
Ave. and SD Hwy 73, was not anticipated
nor appropriated for in 2012. This im-
provement was completed in order to cor-
rect the sewer flow as it was going
against the grade.
With that, motion was made by Gartner,
seconded by Matt to authorize FO to uti-
lize $8,000 of sewer assigned cash for
the unanticipated expenditures incurred
with the installation of the north lift station.
Motion carried.
Departmental Reports:
The monthly Police Dept. report was pre-
sented and reviewed with Officer Butler.
The quarterly Street Dept. report was pre-
sented and reviewed with Street/Sewer
Supt. Rick Coyle.
Mayor Vetter thanked the street person-
nel for painting the sidewalk curb at the
swimming pool.
PWD Reckling then updated the Council
on the street light pole replacements
along SD Highway 73 per the SD Dept. of
Transportation's (DOT) request. He noted
that the State has approved the City's re-
quest to install temporary wood poles
until the proposed SD Hwy 73 sidewalk
project slated for 2015 is underway. The
next step is for West Central Electric to
submit a building permit to the State for
the pole placement. Once this is ap-
proved, the replacement will begin.
Matt to approve the surplus and sale of
the following street department inventory
items: 1986 nternational Dump Truck
Plow - purchased with truck and sander
for $3,700.00 in Aug. 2001; and, 8' Chip
Spreader - purchased for $225.00. These
items will be offered for sale during the
next PLA Annual Machinery Auction. Mo-
tion carried.
The monthly Water Dept. report was re-
viewed.
Council was informed that Occupational
Health Network has merged with Black
Hills Occupational Medicine. The City
contracts with them for pre-employment
and random drug and alcohol testing.
The fiscal year 2011 audit field work was
completed on Aug. 30, 2012. A completed
audit report should be available in the
near future.
A meeting with Colleen Skinner with the
SD Dept. of Revenue has been sched-
uled for 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 25,
at the Philip Ambulance building. nvita-
tions to this meeting have been extended
to the Cities of Wall, Kadoka, and Midland
as well as county officials from both
Haakon and Jackson Counties.
At 7:15 p.m., Mayor Vetter announced
that, as advertised, it was now time for
the public hearing on the Proposed Res-
olution of Necessity #2012-11, for the
Wood and Walden Ave. mprovement
project special assessment estimates.
He then opened the floor for any com-
ments.
Jeanette Burnett questioned how a prop-
erty can be assessed for the costs on
their tax bill when their property taxes
have been frozen. Vetter stressed that the
assessment is a fee, not a tax. The
County adds the amount of the assess-
ment onto a property owner's tax bill in
addition to any property taxes owed.
Pat Freeman, Haakon Co. Auditor, reiter-
ated what Mayor Vetter had stated by
commenting that it is an assessment over
and above the property taxes.
Ms. Burnett then stated that her only
complaint is the concrete steps that will
be replaced in front of her property. She
noted that she is on a fixed income and
cannot afford to pay for their replacement.
She understands replacing those enter-
ing her rear property as her late husband
installed them with wood, but not the con-
crete ones. She noted that the current
concrete steps have been there for many
years, at least prior to 1967. She also
voiced concerns relative to her sidewalk;
if it is damaged during the removal of the
steps, she does not want to have to with-
stand the additional costs to repair it.
Vetter stated that the concrete steps have
to be removed for the project to be com-
pleted as they are located in an area
where storm sewer will be installed. He
stated that he would visit with the City's
engineer regarding an alternative re-
placement option, but voiced concern as
to the grade that will have to met in that
particular location.
Kent Buchholz questioned if the improve-
ment plans include a portion of Hone St.
between his property and Radway's
where the asphalt meets the gravel for
the dip. t was noted that only the corner
radius on Wood Ave. and Hone St. will be
replaced. The project does not extend
down that portion of Hone St.
Mark Buchholz then questioned how
close the concrete estimate shown on the
proposed resolution of necessity is to the
actual costs that will be assessed. He
noted that the estimate is for $70 per
square yard whereas he paid over $100
per square yard this year for concrete. n
his opinion, if the actual costs are 30-50%
higher than the estimate, an uprising from
the property owners could occur.
Vetter advised that the estimates are de-
termined by the City's engineer, who es-
tablishes them from recent improvement
contracts throughout the state. He also
noted that if the bids come in 30-50%
higher than the estimate, the City will not
be able to afford the project either. He
stressed that the City is on a budget just
like that of the property owners.

(PUBLSHED: Sept. 13, 2012)
Audrey Neiffer questioned if there is any
consideration made for driveway ap-
proaches and sidewalks that have been
recently replaced. t was noted that only
those sidewalks located in the boulevard
areas will be replaced. As for the drive-
way approaches, no concessions will be
made as they will have to be replaced in
order to meet the new grade of the street
surface.
Chuck Allen spoke on behalf of his prop-
erty located on Lot 2, Block 8, Highland
Addition, questioning how the proposed
improvements planned for his property,
benefit his property. He noted that this
area is the draw located north of his
home. The plans include installing a re-
taining wall that will only benefit the City,
not his property. He also mentioned that
the City is planning to remove 30 feet of
fill dirt from this area and thus will be en-
croaching on his property during the in-
stallation of said retaining wall and
drainage. n addition, he provided an aer-
ial photo of his property showing how the
street veers to the east, absorbing some
of his property.
Vetter advised Allen that he will visit with
the City's engineer regarding his con-
cerns and report back to him. He also re-
minded Allen that the new curb, gutter
and street would be a benefit to his prop-
erty. (For the record, the retaining wall
and drainage will not be assessed against
Allen's property--only the curb, gutter, and
driveway approach.)
Allen then questioned if, once the street
is redone, will the "no thru trucks law on
Wood Ave. be enforced. Vetter confirmed
and stressed that the property owners
need to assist with this effort as the police
department personnel cannot be every-
where at once. When someone sees a
truck driving through a "no thru truck
area, they need to call the police depart-
ment immediately.
Marsha Sumpter then inquired if her as-
sessment includes the installation of a
sidewalk as her estimate seems quite
high, especially compared to her neigh-
bor's to the north. She also questioned
the reasoning behind the project and
what it entailed.
t was stressed that sidewalk will not be
installedonly those properties with a
sidewalk currently installed in the boule-
vard area will be replaced. For instance -
those properties with concrete walkways
between the curb that lead to the side-
walk. The plans for the project indicate
that Sumpter's property has 150 feet of
curb and gutter while her neighbor to the
north has 50 feet less, approximately 100
feet.
FO Van Lint also noted that Division
Street extends to the east off N. Wood
Ave., between Kroetch and Haynes. This
is an undeveloped street which makes
the City responsible for the costs of the
curb and gutter in that area.
Gaye Odom then questioned about her
neighbor's property not having sidewalk,
will it be installed during this project?
Also, what happens if sidewalk is dam-
aged during the construction?
Van Lint stated the City does not have an
ordinance that requires sidewalks, only
one that requires sidewalks to be main-
tained and replaced if there is an existing
one on the property. She also noted that
if the contractor damages the sidewalk
not due for replacement during the proj-
ect, they will be responsible for repairing
and/or replacing it at their cost.
Vetter then reviewed the project with the
main focus being the replacement of the
sewer mains and installation of storm
sewer for drainage purposes. Both of
these items require the replacement of
the curb, gutter, driveway approaches,
and street surfacing.
The sewer and water infrastructure as
well as the asphalt, curb & gutter history
on N. Wood Ave. was questioned.
Street/Sewer Supt. Coyle noted that the
sewer mains have not been replaced
since he started with the City in 1976,
suggesting that they are more than likely
the original sewer mains installed. As for
the asphalt, curb and gutter, it dates back
to the 1970's while the water mains were
replaced during 2001-2002 with the water
improvement project.
t was also questioned when the assess-
ment payments will be due? Vetter noted
that the final assessment amounts will not
be known until the construction bid is
awarded and the final assessment costs
are determined. At which time, the City
will contact the property owners again
with the final costs which will more than
likely be next summer. He stressed that
they plan to bid the project for construc-
tion to begin in the spring of 2013.
FO Van Lint confirmed that once the final
costs are determined, the City will notify
the property owners with their amounts.
They will have the option to pay the City
within thirty days of receiving the notice.
f the property owner fails to pay the
amount in full within those thirty days, the
final cost plus interest will be assessed
against their property and collected over
a ten year period with their tax bill.
Don Haynes questioned this as it relates
to the First Lutheran Church, which is a
tax exempt organization and does not re-
ceive a tax bill. He questioned FO Van
Lint as to whether or not she had received
any more information on how their as-
sessment would be billed to them.
Van Lint stated that she is still in the
process of determining if an assessment
bill can be generated at the County level
or if it will have to be done through the
City. Once more information is available,
she will contact Mr. Haynes.
Gaye Odom then questioned about the
width of Wood Ave., inquiring if it will be
widened going up the hill, matching with
the street width in front of her property. t
was noted that during the project design,
the majority of the property owners along
Wood Ave. were not in favor of widening
the street back to its platted 70 foot width.
There was mention at that time of possi-
bly limiting the parking going up the hill as
well as on top of the hill due to its narrow
width. This was discussed as a possible
solution due to the safety issues with the
narrow width of the street in that area.
Discussion about limiting the parking as
mentioned ensued and FO Van Lint ad-
vised that she would review her notes
from the previous meetings and report
back to the Council.
Several members questioned what the in-
terest rate would be if the costs of the
concrete are assessed against the prop-
erty. FO Van Lint noted that the rate,
along with the final costs, will not be de-
termined until the project is complete.
Mark Buchholz stated that the City should
be able to determine the actual costs
once the bids for the project are awarded,
not when it is complete. He also ques-
tioned how the City plans to control any
potential erosion problems on the west
side of his property at 313 N. Wood Ave.,
down to Walden Ave.
(For the record, the City waits until the
project is complete to determine the final
assessment costs. This is due to the fact
that there may be change orders between
the awarding of the bid and the comple-
tion of the project.)
FO Van Lint stated that the drainage from
north of the Walden Ave. and Hone St. in-
tersection has been addressed in the
plans and they are available for the pub-
lic's viewing in the Finance Office.
Mayor Vetter then asked for any other
questions. With none forthcoming, he
thanked those in attendance and
stressed that if there are any future ques-
tions; the public is encouraged to ask as
we will work to see that the questions get
answered.
Vetter then closed the public hearing and
the Wood and Walden Ave. property own-
ers in attendance left at this time.

Dakota, and are on file in the
office of the City Finance Offi-
cer and open for the public's in-
spection and incorporated
hereby.
that the cost of the curb, gutter,

pressly finds that if the Project
is not undertaken, the System
will pose a health hazard to the
City and its inhabitants, and will
make the City unable to com-
ply with state and federal law.

authority of SDCL Chapter 9-
40 and SDCL Chapter 6-8B,
and the provisions of the Act
are hereby expressly incorpo-
rated herein as provided in
Section 19 of the Act.
3.4. PIedge of Revenues. The
Revenue Bond together with
the interest thereon, shall not
constitute a charge against the

and agrees to charge rates for
all services from the Project or
establish special charges or
surcharges which will be suffi-
cient to provide for the pay-
ments upon the Revenue Bond
issued hereunder as and when
the same become due, and as
may be necessary to provide
for the operation and mainte-
nance and repairs of the Proj-
ect, and depreciation, and the

vised from time to time so as to
produce these amounts. The
City hereby reserves the right
to determine on a periodic
basis the appropriate allocation
of operation and maintenance
expenses, depreciation, repair
and reserves associated with
the facilities financed with the
Revenue Bond, provided that
such determination of allocable
operation and maintenance ex-
penses shall in no event abro-
gate, abridge or otherwise
contravene the covenant of the
City set forth in this Section 3
or any other covenant or
agreement in the Loan Agree-
ment.
SECTION 4. SpeciaI Charge
or Surcharge for Revenue
Bond.
4.1. The City does hereby cre-
ate the Revenue Bond Special-
Surcharge District (the
"District) which shall include all
users which benefit from the
Project. There shall be charged
a special charge or surcharge
pursuant to Section 15 of the
Act for the services provided by
Project financed by the Rev-
enue Bond. The special charge
or surcharge shall be segre-
gated from other revenues of
the System and shall be used
for the payment of the Rev-
enue Bond. The special charge
or surcharge shall create net
income, remaining from time to
time after first paying all rea-
sonable and current expenses
of maintenance, repairs, re-
placements and operation, suf-
ficient to fund interest, reserve
and debt service fund annual
requirements and shall be
110% of the debt service re-
quirements on the Revenue
Bond.
4.2. Rates and coIIection.
The rate herein specific will be
collected as a special charge
or surcharge for the Project.
This special charge or sur-
charge shall remain in effect
until such time as the Revenue
Bond is defeased or paid in full.
4.3. InitiaI Surcharge. The ini-
tial special charge or surcharge
shall be set by resolution and
collected at the same time as
other charges of the utility. All
users within the District which
benefit from the Project, cur-
rent and future, shall be
charged the special charge or
surcharge. The special charge
or surcharge is found to be eq-
uitable for the services pro-
vided by the Project. The
special charge or surcharge
shall begin at such time as will
produce sufficient revenue to
pay principal of, interest and
Administrative Surcharge on
the Revenue Bond when due.
4.4. Segregation. The Finance
Officer shall set up bookkeep-
ing accounts in accordance
with South Dakota Legislative
Audit guidelines for the segre-
gation of the revenue, special
charges and surcharges.
4.5. Periodic review. The
amount of the surcharge shall
be reviewed from time to time,
not less than yearly, and shall
be modified in order to produce
such funds as are necessary
and required to comply with the
Loan Agreement's rate
covenant and to pay principal
of, interest and Administrative
Surcharge on the Revenue
Bond when due. The sur-
charge may be set by resolu-
tion in accordance with this
Section. The rate resolution
shall be necessary for the sup-
port of government and shall
be effective upon passage.
SECTION 5. AdditionaI
Bonds. As permitted by Sec-
tions 8 and 9 of the Act, Addi-
tional Bonds payable from
revenues and income of the
System or Project may be is-
sued, as permitted in the Loan
Agreement, and no provision of
this Resolution shall have the
effect of restricting the is-
suance of, or impairing the lien
of, such additional parity bonds
with respect to the net rev-
enues or income from the ex-
tensions, additions or
improvements. The City shall
have the right to issue addi-
tional bonds secured by a lien
subordinate to the lien from the
Revenue Bond pursuant to the
Loan Agreement.
SECTION 6. Project Fund Ac-
counts. For the purpose of ap-
plication and proper allocation
of the income of the Project
and to secure the payment of
principal, Administrative Sur-
charge and interest on the
Revenue Bond, the following
mandatory asset segregations
shall be included in the sewer
system account of the City and
shall be used solely for the fol-
lowing respective purposes
until payment in full of the prin-
cipal of and interest on the
Revenue Bond:
6.1. Project Revenue Ac-
count. There shall be de-
posited periodically into the
Project Revenue Account the
net revenues as defined in
Section 17 of the Act derived
from the operation of the Proj-
ect collected pursuant to the
Resolutions and resolutions of
the City of Philip, South Dakota
(collectively the "Rate Resolu-
tion). Moneys from the Project
Revenue Account shall be
transferred periodically into
separate funds and accounts
as provided below.
6.2. Project Debt Service
Account. Out of the revenues
in the Project Revenue Ac-
count, there shall be set aside
no later than the 25th day of
each month into the account
designated Project Debt Serv-
ice Account, a sum sufficient to
provide for the payment as the
same become due of the next
maturing principal of, interest
and Administrative Surcharge
on the Revenue Bonds and
any reserve determined by the
City's governing body to be
necessary. The amount set
aside monthly shall be not less
than one-third of the total prin-
cipal, interest, and Administra-
tive Surcharge payable on the
following January 15, April 15,

The Haakon County Commissioners ad-
dressed the Council.
The first order of discussion included that
of a lease agreement between the
County and City for the office spaces that
the City utilizes in the courthouse. The
City Council had requested a lease
agreement to outline the responsibilities
and payments as a means of protecting
both the City and County. (For the record,
a lease for the City's offices has not been
located.)
Ed Briggs, chairman, presented a draft
lease agreement for the Council's review.
City Attorney Tollefson disclosed to the
Council that she, as the State's Attorney
developed the lease per the County's re-
quest. She is also the City Attorney and if
the Council feels that this is a conflict,
they have the option to seek other coun-
sel for reviewing and discussing the
lease.
With no comments, Tollefson stated that
the lease is a standard lease and items
can be changed if there is a mutual
agreement between the County and City.
She then asked if the City had any rec-
ommendations to the lease.
FO Van Lint noted items in section two
and six that should be addressed. This in-
cludes adding space that is not currently
included in the lease, but utilized by the
City, as well as grammatical changes.
Tollefson noted that she will make the
suggested changes and forward the
lease for final approval during the next
meetings of the County Commission and
City Council.
Commissioner Nick Konst then inquired
with the Council as to their position with
Dakota Mill & Grain's (DM&G) proposed
expansion plan.
Mayor Vetter noted that the last discus-
sion with DM&G's representatives in-
cluded the City's request for an
engineered plan and a completed eleva-
tion study. To date, this information has
not been received.
Discussion about the economic impact
the expansion would provide as well as
concerns for the property owners in the
area ensued. The main concern is that of
the current flooding issues and the poten-
tial increase if the new rail siding is in-
stalled on the north side of the current rail
siding which will restrict the water flow fur-
ther.
Konst questioned if the City will require a
building permit for their expansion and
what, if any, legal ramifications are
granted for construction in the railroad
right-of-way.
t was noted that the City will require both
a building permit and flood plain develop-
ment permit for the expansion. f the City
does not approve them, will it halt the
construction, is another question that
needs to be reviewed further. t comes
down to the economic impact versus the
protection of the property owners in the
area.
Council Member Larson suggested con-
tacting the Army Corps of Engineers with
regard to the railroad's decision in filling
in the trestle bridge in years past. She
questioned if such work would require a
permit from them in addition would
DM&G be subject to obtaining a permit
for their proposed work. n addition, could
we request the trestle be put back into
place to help undo the problems that
have arisen since it was narrowed with fill
dirt?
FO Van Lint reminded the Council that
their proposed expansion plan is within
the designated flood zone. The City has
an agreement with the Federal Emer-
gency Management Administration
(FEMA) to implement regulations for con-
struction in the flood zone as a protection
to those properties. The concern is how
much authority the City has with regard to
construction within the railroad right-of-
way.
Commissioner Gary Snook questioned
what the Haakon Railroad Authority's in-
fluences are and if they would have au-
thority with regard to DM&G's expansion
plan? FO Van Lint advised that it is
merely a legal entity with taxing authority
that allows and supports entities such as
DM&G to make application to the state for
railroad expansions and qualify for low in-
terest loans. n her opinion, they would
need our support to expand.
Commissioner Rita O'Connell also ques-
tioned about the possibility of DM&G ob-
taining permits from the SD Dept. of
Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR). City Attorney Tollefson noted
that DENR deals mainly with drainage
while the Army Corp of Engineers is in
charge of river waters. She suggested the
City and/or County contact DM&G's engi-
neers with regard to the permits that they
are required to obtain in order to complete
their proposed expansion plan.
PWD Reckling confirmed that DM&G's
engineer is Andrew Kangas with Civil De-
sign Engineering.
Commissioner Steve Clements then in-
troduced Tony DeRunge, noting that he is
familiar with the railroad operations and
is willing to sit on the Haakon Railroad
Authority with County, City of Philip, and
Town of Midland.
By general consensus of the Council,
they are in favor of appointing Mr.
DeRunge to the Authority. Further re-
search will be completed in order to de-
termine how this appointment will be
accomplished.
Following a lengthy discussion, both the
City Council and County Commission, by
general discussion, voiced favor for the
expansion of DM&G, noting the economic
impact it will have for the area. n addition,
reservations were noted for the impact
that it may have on the property owners
north of their proposed rail siding. They
confirmed that they would and should
work together to find the best solution for
both DM&G and the property owners.
Then, the City Council, by general con-
sensus, requested FO Van Lint contact
the Army Corps of Engineers and
DM&G's engineer regarding the various
permits that will be required for their pro-
posed expansion plan.
Commissioner Snook then questioned if
the Council had any concerns relative to
the increase in rent for the City offices in
the County Courthouse.
Commissioner Clements noted that the
amount was based on the annual Court-
house utilities divided by the number of
offices housed in the Courthouse.
No concerns were noted by the Council.
The Mayor and those in attendance
thanked the Commissioners and Tony
DeRungs as they left the meeting at this
time.
The Swimming Pool report was reviewed.
The pool attendance for the 2012 season
was reported at 7,008 which increased by
587 from the 2011 season.
DFO Smith reported that John Malik with
Malik Brothers Plastering, nc. will begin
work on the exterior of the pool bath-
house on Sept. 5, 2012. She noted that
all of the preparation work has been com-
pleted and advised that the doors will
need to be painted next spring and new
signs will need to be made.
t was suggested that the City might con-
sider contacting the morning swimmers
about painting the doors since they of-
fered to paint the bathhouse earlier this
year. n addition, Council Member Larson
offered to make a new sign for the "pool
rules.
PubIic Comments:
None.
In Other Business:
The SDML Annual Conference is Oct. 2-
5, 2012, in Pierre. FO & DFO Smith will
be out of the office Oct. 3-5 for the con-
ference. Larson & Matt will be attending
on Oct. 4.
The next Regular Council Meeting will be
held on Monday, Oct. 1, 2012, at 7:00
p.m. in the Community Rm.
With no further business to come before
the Council, Mayor Vetter declared the
meeting adjourned at 8:28 p.m.

sioners met at 1:04 PM on Tuesday, Sep-
tember 4, 2012. A quorum was
established with Chairman Edward

Snook and Nicholas Konst in attendance.
Western South Dakota Community Action
Executive Director Linda Edel, Auditor Pat
Freeman, Deputy Auditor Carla Smith,
Highway Administrative Secretary Val
Williams, Extension Secretary Sheryl
Hansen, Mike Seager, Tony DeRunge
and Pioneer Review Representative
Nancy Haigh were also present.
Member Rita O'Connell requested to
amend the agenda to discuss some li-
brary information at some point during the
meeting. A motion was made to amend
the agenda to include the discussion.
The August 7, 2012, Regular Meeting
Minutes and the August 21, 2012, Special
Meeting Minutes were read. Commis-
sioner Rita O'Connell made a motion to
approve these minutes. t was seconded
with all in agreement.
The Supplemental Hearing for (226-222)
Emergency Management was held. No
one appeared before the commission. A
motion was made by Commissioner
Nicholas Konst, seconded with all in
agreement to supplement the fund by
$14,895.00.
Western South Dakota Community Action
Executive Director Linda Edel appeared
before the commission to explain what
their agency does for this area. t is com-
prised of 14 counties in the area and cov-
ers approximately 6,000 square miles.
Their board has 42 members and meets
every third Wednesday of the month at
6:00 PM. Each member is reimbursed
mileage to and from the meeting and din-
ner is served the night of the meeting.
There are many programs the agency is
involved in, such as weatherizing homes,
furnace repairs, school supplies, and
commodities. All are distributed to those
in need and the elderly. Each county has
three representatives and at this time,
Midland is the only place where a repre-
sentative is located in Haakon County.
When asked for someone who might be
interested in being on the board, Com-
missioner Stephen Clements volun-
teered. A motion was made, seconded
with all in agreement to approve the ap-
pointment.

Highway Superintendent Kenny Neville
was not present at the meeting but Ad-
ministrative Secretary Val Williams gave
a report to the commission. There was
some discussion on a gate being locked
on a county road that had never been va-
cated. t also provided access to public
land. t was determined that State's Attor-
ney Gay Tollefson would write a letter
stating that the lock had to be removed
from the gate. The public land has to re-
main accessible to the public.
Extension Secretary Sheryl Hansen met
with the commission to answer some of
their questions on the 4-H program for the
2013 year. There has been a lot of discus-
sion over the last few meetings in regards
to the quality and time the present 4-H
program is providing Haakon County
members. This year Haakon County
agreed to participate in a four county plan
to share one advisor. Each county paid
the $4,187.50 to support the salary of the
advisor. The counties involved are
Haakon, Jackson, Jones and Mellette.
The general consensus is that this agree-
ment has not provided the level of partic-
ipation and the attention required to
provide Haakon County members with a
quality 4-H Program. t was decided that
the $4,187.50 would be better spent, put
towards providing an advisor that could
be in the Haakon County Extension Office
four days a week and readily available to
our 4-H members. This is the way it was
budgeted for in 2013. A letter will be writ-
ten to inform SDSU that Haakon County
will not be participating in the four county
program for the 2013 year. Extension
Secretary Sheryl Hansen has agreed to
become Haakon County's 4-H advisor for
2013.
Mike Seager was asked to meet with the
commissioners to show his filming of the
2008 flooding of the Bad River around his
property. Mike had shown the film to the
City Council the previous month. The
commissioners were on the agenda of the
City Council to meet with them concern-
ing the rent lease and the Rail Road Au-
thority. The film that was reviewed was in
regards to the Dakota Mill and Grain ex-
pansion. There are two appointed mem-
bers on the City Council, Mike Vetter and
Greg Arthur. The two newly appointed
members for the Haakon County Com-
missioners are Nicholas Konst and Gary
Snook. Tony DeRunge was present at the
meeting and lives in the Midland area. He
expressed an interest in representing
Midland on the Rail Road Authority
Board. There is much left to do and a lot
more information to be gathered.

Volleyball program gets matching funds
Members of the Philip Modern Woodmen of America chapter recently helped raise money for the Philip volleyball team by
selling raffle tickets. The drawing for a four-wheeler or a golf cart and for a $1,000 savings bond was held July 4. It raised
$1,314. This includes $500 matched by Modern Woodsmens home office through the organizations matching fund pro-
gram. The money will be used for supplies for camps to help the team. The matching fund program offers Modern Woodmen
members nationwide the chance to show their support for a community cause, organization or individual in need by holding
fundraisers. Modern Woodmen matches money raised up to $2,500. These fundraising projects contribute more than $6.5
million to community needs nationwide each year. Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen members, chapters provide op-
portunities to connect through social activities and volunteer projects. For more information about the local chapter and
how to get involved, contact Don Haynes at 859-2778 or dwhaynes@gwtc.net. Photo by Del Bartels

The annual Ryder Cup Golf
Tournament took place Saturday,
September 8, at the Lake Wag-
goner Golf Course in Philip. The
event is a competition between
Philip, Wall and Murdo.
There are three different nine-
hole segments, the first being a
two-person alternate shot. This for-
mat has the first person hit the tee
shot, then the other person hits the
second shot, and shots alternate
until the ball is in the cup.
The second format is an individ-
ual match play, which has no team
member. It is one person from each
team playing each other, and the
object is to win the most holes.
The third format is a two-person
scramble, which has both team
members tee off and then the team
decides which ball is better, and
pick up the inferior ball, and both
players hit from the better ball.
This continues all the way through
the hole.
Each event has the opportunity
for a tie. Scoring for the two-person
alternate shot and the scramble
format is four points for a win and
two points for a tie. The individual
match play scores two points for a
win and one point for a tie.
There are three trophies up for
grabs. The Champions Cup is be-
tween Wall and Philip, the Inter-
state Cup is between Murdo and
Wall, and the Ryder Cup is be-
tween Philip and Murdo. This is
the ninth year for the Champions
Cup, which Philip has won since
the inception. The Interstate Cup
is in its fourth year, with Murdo
winning it last year, and Wall win-
ning it all other years. This is the
seventh year of the Ryder Cup,
which Philip has won since its in-
ception.
There is a captain from each
team, who pairs their members
and their opponents. The captains
are D.J. Rush for Philip, Dean
Schulz for Wall and Steve Reed for
Murdo.

Community
Greetings from cooler, breezy,
dry-as-a-bone, northeast Haakon
County. Thank goodness for cooler
temperatures this morning! It is
about 73 here, and a sweatshirt
feels good. I have become so accli-
mated to the hot temperatures that
I'm afraid winter is going to be
even more of a challenge than
usual this year! And while the cool
breeze feels good coming through
the open windows, it also carries
with it a good amount of dust be-
cause of the dry conditions. I guess
I'll be spending some quality time
with my dust cloth and vacuum
later today again. I haven't had
to spend any time recently check-
ing the rain gauge, so that time
saved can be spent cleaning up the
dust.
A couple of days ago, I found my-
self wishing that flies were a cash
crop, because we have lots of them.
What a nuisance. I have a fly trap
hung in a tree in the yard, and it
doesn't take long for it to fill up. I
guess the flies have taken the place
of mosquitoes this year.
The activity around the neigh-
borhood has mostly involved work-
ing cattle and harvesting corn.
Thank goodness some of the neigh-
bors escaped the hail earlier this
summer, so there is at least a par-
tial crop to harvest. The dry condi-
tions have severely reduced the
yields, but some crop is better than
none. There are quite a few hay
trucks on the highways these days,
hauling feed to areas hardest hit by
the drought. Hopefully by next
summer we will have some mois-
ture for the parched pastures and
fields.
Several of the folks I contacted
this week haven't had any news to
report. It seems that everyone has
switched into fall mode, beginning
to get prepared for the winter. The
hot temperatures have been keep-
ing folks close to home also. An-
other factor is the fact that school
has started, which limits activities
of families with school aged chil-
dren. Whatever the reason, there
isn't a lot of news this week.
Dick and Gene Hudson have
been entertaining company for the
past few days. The children of
Gene's cousin, Duane Price, arrived
Saturday. Derald and Julie Price,
Denver, and Rae and Billy Floyd,
Oklahoma, and their families have
enjoyed seeing the countryside,
checking cattle, and all the other
ranch activities. I'm sure they are
enjoying Gene's cooking, also! Jon
and Connie Johnson and boys
joined the group for supper on Sat-
urday and Sunday. Monday, just
Connie and Noah Johnson joined
the group for supper. Jon Johnson
was gone to Wheaton, Minn., and
both Avery and Wyatt are in
school. The Price relatives returned
to their homes Tuesday.
Coreen and Julian Roseth helped
their son, Nick, move to Philip re-
cently. Nick has an apartment
there and is working at the sale
barn.
Nels and Dorothy Paulson were
in Pierre Friday. Saturday morn-
ing, they had a visit from their
friends, Otis and Amber Funk, who
live near Pierre. The Funks were in
the area looking for antelope I
guess the archery season is now
open. Don Sandal was at Paulsons
earlier in the week cleaning seed
wheat. The rest of their time has
been spent checking fences and
water and just generally keeping
an eye on the cattle. Nels solved a
mystery this week he found the
culprits that were digging up his
potatoes. It turns out that he has a
bunch of very hungry pheasants
who are scratching the potatoes out
of the ground and making a meal of
them! (Most of the potatoes in my
garden are about the size of golf
balls this year, so those would
probably qualify as an appetizer
rather than a meal.) It is a chal-
lenging year for both man and
beast (and birds)! Happy belated
birthday to Nels he celebrated
another year on September 10.
Bill and Polly Bruce spent part of
the week recuperating from their
Labor Day weekend family gather-
ing. All of their children were
home, as well as several of the
grandchildren. Polly said over 40
people were there, all of them en-
joying visiting and spending time
together. The last of the crowd left
Labor Day. The most entertaining
part of the weekend was the home-
made cannon that shot bowling
balls! A friend from the Cresbard
area brought the cannon, and they
had fun shooting it through old
buildings, etc. Activities at the
Bruce ranch this week included
cattle working and hay hauling.
Bill and Polly went to Pierre
Thursday. They attended church in
Midland Sunday, followed by lunch
at a local cafe. Polly got word last
week that her younger brother, Leo
Nemec, had a heart attack. Leo
lives in North Dakota. He is home
now and doing better. He'll have a
procedure later to have another
stent placed in his heart to improve
blood flow. Modern medicine is
amazing!
Max and Joyce Jones were in
Akaska September 1 to attend
their friend, Jane Barber's, wed-
ding. The next day, they traveled to
Spearfish to be on hand for a 90th
birthday celebration for friend Lyle
Collins. They got to see a lot of old
friends at both activities, with a
chance to visit and get caught up
on everyone's news. This past week
has been quieter, which is not a
bad thing.
Mary Briggs stopped to visit with
Lil Briggs last Thursday on her
way home from Pierre. Warren
Briggs oldest son, Anthony, is
staying with Lil since his work has
ended at the ranch. He is working
at Red Rossa and will also be work-
ing as a lifeguard at the YMCA in
Pierre. Lee Briggs has been busy
with silage cutting, cattle work,
and all the other seasonal activi-
ties.
Duane Roseth went to Boyd
Waara's retirement party at the
Philip bank Friday. Saturday,
Duane and Lola's son, Thor, wife
Jackie, and and their baby son,
Royce, were afternoon and supper
guests at Duane and Lola's I'll
bet grandpa and grandma enjoyed
that!
On a personal note, I want to say
congratulations to Boyd Waara on
his recent retirement from the
bank. We were fortunate enough to
have Boyd as our banker for many,
many years, and he remains a dear
friend. He served his customers
and community well, and he held
leadership roles in the state's bank-
ing industry. It is so important in
an agricultural community to have
a banker who thoroughly under-
stands the ag industry, and Boyd
knows agriculture and finance in-
side out. And besides that, he has
a lot of common sense, which is all
too often in short supply! His re-
tirement is well earned, and I wish
him and Jeanie only the best!
Marge Briggs has no news this
week, but she did have the weather
data for August, 2012: High tem-
perature was 108 on the 29th, four
days of 100 or above, 18 days of 90
or above, and 26 days of 80 or
above. The lowest maximum tem-
perature was 77 on the 16th. The
minimum temperature was 44 on
both the 16th and 17th.We had six
times of 50 or below during Au-
gust. The average high was 90, av-
erage low was 57, and the month's
average temperature was 73.
Precipitation for the month was
.63. Normal is 1.85, leaving us
1.2 below normal for the month.
The precipitation to date for the
year is 9.95. Normal is 13.10,
leaving us 3.15 below normal for
the year, which equates to 75.95%
of normal.
According to Marge, at the end of
August we had 19 days of 100 or
above for the year. And on Septem-
ber 10 when we visited, we were up
to 21 days of 100 or above. I'm hop-
ing that we won't have any more
100 plus days! Thanks to Marge
for compiling this data.
Our week here at the ranch has
been kind of a blur. Last Tuesday,
two sets of company left, and I just
had time to freshen the beds when
friends from the Missoula area ar-
rived to visit and spend the night.
They were headed on a three-week
tour of various historical sites in
the South and along the East
Coast. Wednesday, our nephew,
Justin Neuhauser, Watertown,
came to the ranch to work on a cou-
ple of pickups that weren't running
quite right. He is an excellent me-
chanic! (We selfishly keep encour-
aging him to move closer!) Wednes-
day afternoon, an elk hunter ar-
rived. Thursday afternoon, our son,
Scott, and friend Mike Hoy arrived
to help gather cattle. Mike had a
little incident with a four-wheeler,
so he headed back to Rapid City
Thursday evening, but Scott stayed
for the weekend. Friday, our elk
hunter left with his big elk, and our
nephew, Dylan Neuhauser, arrived
to help with weekend cattle work.
We weaned calves Friday and preg
tested Saturday (thanks, T.J.
Gabriel). Saturday, our daughter-
in-law, Corry, and grandkids
Marisa and Austin arrived to
spend the weekend. Austin was cel-
ebrating his third birthday, and
when his parents asked him what
he wanted to do to celebrate, he
said he wanted to go to grandpa
Randy's and ride in the tractor. So
that is what they did! And grand-
daughter Marisa spent a lot of time
spoiling the kittens. It was a great
weekend! More elk hunters arrived
Monday. It is just that time of year
at our house no time to get bored,
that's for sure!
Today is September 11, and as I
write this, I am thinking about that
fateful day in 2001. It was such a
terrible tragedy one that will not
be forgotten. On that day, and for
many days and weeks afterwards,
people from across the nation
stepped forward to help with the
disaster. And many people made
the decision to join the military and
serve our country to help keep us
safe and free. Today, I am grateful
to all those who stepped up and for
all those who continue to serve.
Today, I'll set aside a little time in
memory of those that lost their
lives and in sympathy for the
countless people who this tragedy
affects to this day. God bless them
all.
Clint, Laura, and Alivya Alle-
man decided to label their Labor
Day festivities as a "staycation"
since they didn't go very far. They
did take in local area activities and
people. Monday, Clint, Laura and
Alivya went to Dick and Gene Hud-
son's home for supper and visiting.
They had a good time, and Alivya
and Dick became great buddies.
They kept busy this week with
ranch and house activities. Laura
found time to can salsa, sauces,
and jam while keeping tabs on
Clint as he finds himself in the
fields now. Laura helped her folks,
Randy and Joy Yost, in Hayes. She
enjoys being so close to family!
Alivya is now a chatter box and
talks all the time, delighting every-
one as she discovers a new world of
communicating. Alivya was able to
spend time with both sets of grand-
parents this past week. Aunt Kelly
and cousin "Mo" Morgan watched
Alivya Saturday at the ranch as
Clint treated Laura to a movie, din-
ner, and amusing conversations.
Sunday, they spent time with the
Yosts for food, fun, and football. Ac-
cording to Laura (and I'm sure
Clint will agree), "Life is good."
I hope you will go out and make
this a wonderful week! Enjoy the
cooler temperatures!

procrastinator, putting off until to-
morrow, things you should be doing
today? Heed these words and take
action on something in your life
that you have been putting off and
begin to cultivate a new habit in
your life.
I encourage you to make a list of
all the projects that you have
started but not finished-all the to
dos that have been hanging over
your head, all those little things
that have become huge and prior-
itize them. Face up to those things
you've been putting off and admit
that you have been procrastinating,
and then take action.
You'll see that the battle is al-
ready half won! And what benefits
you'll reap less negative stress, a
feeling of being productive, a sense
of pride, savings of money, time, en-
ergy, and hassles, and probably an
overwhelming desire to tackle the
next item on your list. Remember
the battle cry: Take action now!
Take action now!
Several years ago, I remember
quite clearly that there was this lit-
tle thing left undone in my life.
Since it was such a little thing I ba-
sically let it go, and time passed.
Suddenly this issue surfaced again,
this time just a tad bit bigger of a
problem, and as before, I put it off.
Time passed.
A couple of months later, by the
time it reared its ugly head again,
it was a monster. It ended up cost-
ing me huge amounts of money and
an incredible amount of time. It
caused embarrassment and was a
very painful experience for me. It
also taught me something a lesson
that has lasted me many years now.
(Sometimes I just have to learn les-
sons the hard way, I guess.) This
one I have learned well. Do not put
things off!
Today, my battle cry is Take ac-
tion now! Putting things off until
later is a bad habit that most of us
have fallen into at one time or an-
other. How about you? Are you a

In South Dakota, we are big on
helping one another. If someone
runs out of gas or gets a flat tire, in
South Dakota, folks still stop to
lend a hand. In fact, that is one of
the things I love most about the
people in our state: their big
hearts.
I was able to see South Dakota
kindness on full display recently in
Rapid City during the annual
United Way Day of Caring. Over
1,200 volunteers came out to do-
nate their time and talents at over
80 work sites around the city. From
painting houses to mowing lawns
and visiting with local seniors, the
outpouring of love and spirit of
community was truly inspiring.
I felt blessed to be a part of it. I
was able to visit the Minneluzahan
Senior Center, where I met with
some older and wiser South
Dakotans. I also went to the Work-
ing Against Violence, Inc. domestic
violence shelter in Rapid City,
where Executive Director Mary
Corbine gave me a tour and told me
about the amazing work theyre
doing in the community.
The first Day of Caring was in
1999, and its wonderful to see how
much it has grown and to witness
the kind of impact a volunteer ef-
fort like this can have. But volun-
teering isnt just limited to one-day
events. Countless South Dakotans
make giving their time a constant
commitment.
I was in Sioux Falls in August for
the eighth annual WomenUnite
event and was impressed by the
number of strong women who were
involved with volunteer-related ac-
tivities on a regular basis. Their
latest Girls on Track program is
targeted to girls in sixth through
eighth grade and is designed to
help them be strong, confident and
active young women.
When we volunteer, were not
just donating our time for a couple
hours, were improving communi-
ties, helping someone in need and
inspiring others to do the same. In
South Dakota, giving one another
a helping hand is second nature,
but I still encourage folks to seek
out opportunities in their commu-
nities to volunteer.

S.D. Highway Patrol combines two squads
The Badlands Squad and the
Southern Hills Squad of the South
Dakota Highway Patrol have been
combined. Still under their own
names, they will be led by one ser-
geant, and many of their combined
meetings will be held in Rapid
City.
The states highway patrol is di-
vided into three districts. District I
covers the northeastern part of the
state, and is based out of Aberdeen.
District II covers the southeastern
part of the state, and is based out
of Sioux Falls. District III, based
out of Rapid City, covers all of
western South Dakota except for
Lyman, Tripp and Gregory coun-
ties.
Captain Kevin Karley, com-
mander for District III, said, We
seem to have a problem keeping a
supervisor in the Badlands squad.
What we have is a revolving door
for supervisors. The main reason
is that the past few supervisors
have wanted to live closer to Rapid
City.
Randi Erickson, now a highway
patrol training coordinator in
Pierre, had lived in Rapid City for
about a year while heading the
Badlands Squad. Karley said With
new technology, we can work from
almost anywhere. But heading a
squad from that far away did cre-
ate a lot of windshield time. The
Badlands Squad consists of six
troopers; one trooper living in
Philip, two in Wall, two in Kadoka
and one in Murdo. And I dont
foresee us changing that anytime
in the near future, said Karley.
Kevin Kinney, now a highway
patrol statewide crash reconstruc-
tion supervisor, used to head the
Southern Hills Squad. That squad
consists of four troopers, two living
in Hot Springs and two living in
Custer.
The sergeant position that heads
both squads is currently vacant,
and has been since July 24. The de-
partment is preparing to put up the
position for promotion statewide.
We have not filled the vacant po-
sition yet because we decided to
hold a promotional assessment cen-
ter and update our qualified candi-
date list prior to making another
promotion, stated Karley.
The car lot on the southwest corner of Highway 73 and Pine Street has been leveled, and covered with chip seal. Craig
Burns, parts manager for Philip Motor, said that having the parking lot resurfaced now was a timing thing. The chip sealing
company was to already be in the Philip area for other jobs. The crew started mid-morning and was done before that evening.

Dakota Rural Action, in collabo-
ration with local farmers, is host-
ing the fourth year of Farm Begin-
nings classes starting in November
in Sioux Falls.
The class helps participants to
learn first hand about low cost, sus-
tainable methods of farming and
the tools to successfully launch a
profitable farm enterprise. Applica-
tions are due September 28. Class
size is limited and scholarships are
available. Course information and
the online application can be found
at www.dakotarural.org/farmbe-
ginnings or by contacting Dakota
Rural Action at (605) 697-5204 or
heidiku@dakotarural.org.
Farm Beginnings classes are
held twice a month from November
to March. Students take part in
sessions such as whole farm plan-
ning, financial planning, market-
ing, business planning, connecting
with resources, and connecting
with mentors. On farm education is
offered in the spring and summer
months through a variety of farm
tours and skills sessions. The
course includes for students to fur-
ther their skills by participating in
mentorships/apprenticeships with
local farmers.
Course graduates are engaged in
a variety of enterprises, including
livestock, grains, vegetable and
fruit production, dairy, specialty
products, and community sup-
ported agriculture. Participants
can be of any age, do not need to
own land, and include prospective,
beginning, part-time or full-time
farmers.
Farm Beginnings is an estab-
lished curriculum developed over a
decade ago and is replicated in sev-
eral different states, including
Minnesota, Illinois, Nebraska,
North Dakota and New York.
Dakota Rural Action has adapted
the curriculum to meet the needs of
regional farmers. The project is
supported by the Beginning
Farmer and Rancher Development
Program of the National Institute
of Food and Agriculture, USDA,
grant #2010-03066.
Dakota Rural Action is a grass-
roots family agriculture and con-
servation group that organizes
South Dakotans to protect family
farmers and ranchers, natural re-
sources and this unique way of life.
Farm Beginnings

September 28
The South Dakota Department
of Transportation requests the co-
operation of all farmers and ranch-
ers in removing processed hay from
the highway right of way.
State regulations require that
hay be removed from the right of
way within 30 days of being
processed, but no later than Octo-
ber 1.
Removing hay bales from the
highway right of way is an impor-
tant safety consideration for mo-
torists. The bales or stacks can be
a safety hazard for vehicles forced
to leave the road and, in some
cases, can restrict a drivers sight
distance. Hay left in the road
ditches late in the year can also
cause snowdrifts across the high-
way.
For more information, contact
Jason Humphrey at 605-773-3571.
