Philip Nursing Home
Tree of Love honors
loved ones
The Philip Nursing Home will again have the
Tree of Love during the holidays. You may ask:
What is the Tree of Love?
The Tree of Love is a way in which the com-
munity can remember loved ones who may have
passed away or a loved one who is still living. It
is a worthy project which makes money for the
residents activity fund.
Three trees will be placed on the bulletin
board at the nursing home in early December:
The In Memory Tree for those loved ones no
longer living; the In Honor of Tree for that
special loved one still alive; and the Tree for
Businesses.
Colored symbols are placed on the trees.
Red symbols are $25; Blue are $10; Green are
$5; and White are $1. The price differences
allow everyone the opportunity to give a trib-
ute in someones name. The name of the hon-
ored person and the name of the sponsor
are placed on the symbol. Those decorat-
ing the trees appreciate a condensed ver-
sion of the information. For example: The
John Doe Family. Include the necessary
information of the honoree and the
sponsorDonations will be accepted from
now until Christmas.
Your Tree of Love donation can be
sent to the Philip Nursing Home, Attn:
Cheri Heeb, PO Box 790, Philip, SD
57567. Please note on the envelope that
it is a Tree of Love gift. Out-of-town busi-
nesses are also invited to participate.
Barbara Kroetch and Peggy Hook will
be visiting local businesses for the Busi-
ness Tree donations.
The 10th annual Christmas in Midland celebration was held Saturday, December
1, at the Midland Legion Hall. There were over 225 registered attendees. Activities
included hay rides provided by Rick Reimann and his daughter Jamie, door prizes,
cookies and cider, viewing the many trees set up by different organizations, and
a visit by Santa Claus. A live nativity scene was performed, which included tradi-
tional Christmas songs. Shown above is Clancy Doud with one of the many Christ-
mas trees on display. A drawing by the senior citizen group for a picture drawn by
Mickey Woitte was won by Shari Estep, Austin, Texas. A drawing by the Midland
Slam Dunkers Relay For Life team for an afghan was won by Ronnie Sammons,
and for a doily was won by Christine Niedan. The doily and afghan were made by
Betty Block. See more photos inside this issue. Photos by Del Bartels

If you find a pink flamingo in
your yard, you can call the number
listed to have them moved. All we
ask is that you donate one or more
of the items on the Ronald McDon-
ald House Wish List. These items
can be dropped off at the Extension
office in either the Haakon or Jack-
son County Courthouses. Contact
Nicki Nelson at 308-862-1051 or
the Haakon County office at 859-
2840 for questions or more infor-
mation.
There are many items that they
need to keep helping families in-
cluding: food items fruit cups,
granola bars and individual
wrapped snacks, snack sized cere-
als, chips, crackers, individual
sized Jello and pudding snack cups,
individual cans, bottles, or boxes of
fruit juice, chunky & hearty soup,
canned pasta and spaghettios,

Thursday morning, November
29, Paul Imholte was the object of
an assembly for kindergarten
through sixth graders and for the
general public.
Imholte said that his goal is to
increase awareness in the audience
of not only music, but specifically
the great variety of stringed instru-
ments. He grabbed the audiences
attention by first moving among
the students as he played a lively
tune on the fiddle.
Volunteer Mallory Vetter helped
Imholte demonstrate the wooden
spoons, which made a miniscule
pitch difference when played on dif-
ferent parts of the body, such as the
arm or even the head. The spoons
are a very inexpensive drum set
that you can carry with you., said
Imholte.
Explaining briefly the origins of
each instrument, Imholte next
played the eight string mandolin,
first used in Italy. He then had vol-
unteers create different verses for
the song Shell be Coming Around
the Mountain, as he picked the
five string banjo. The song is an
American folk song, he said, thus
no one knows who originally wrote
it, and everyone in the room owns
it.
He played the hammered dul-
cimer, which has 70 strings and
two bridges that make a musical
fifth relationship. It is a stringed
instrument, but played with mal-
lets, and is the predecessor to the
modern day piano.
Using the guitar, he sang a diddy
about rutabagas. Using the auto-
harp, he went from a minuet by
Bach to a diddy about eating ba-
nanas. Using the dulcimer some-
times called the mountain or Ap-
palachian dulcimer he performed
a love song Simple Gifts.
Having started playing such in-
struments when he was 10 and
practicing for 40 some years, Im
still learning, though a little bit
slower than I used to, said
Imholte.
To the tough question from the
audience, he admitted that his
three favorite instruments of the
ones he plays would be the guitar,
hammered dulcimer and violin,
but the violin is hard to chord.
The last instrument introduced
was a jaw harp, technically not a
string instrument because it uses a
metal band for sound vibration.
Taking it out of his mouth to sing
the words, he played an anti-smok-
ing song, I had a Horse That
Smoked Cigarettes.
The assembly concluded with
Imholte playing the guitar and the
audience singing the song, This
Land is Your Land.
Imholte was brought to Philip
through the Dakota Assemblies
program, locally paid for by dona-
tions to the schools teachers fund
which includes donations from the
collection of bottle caps, Box Tops
and other sources.

The Freemasons held their an-
nual District 15 meeting, Saturday,
December 1, in the Philip Masonic
Lodge #153.
Welcoming State Grand Master
Jack Hantz, Belle Fourche, as
guest speaker were District Master
Doug Thorson, Philip, Wall Master
Grant Shearer, and other attend-
ing Freemasons.
Hantz acknowledged the absence
of some district members, particu-
larly from the Martin lodge, who
were participating in the annual
Martin parade of lights. Martin,
though, will host next years dis-
trict meeting.
Hantz restated the hierarchy of
Masonic responsibility of family,
job, then the lodge. Family first,
always, said Hantz.
My obligation is to accept the re-
sponsibility to travel all over the
state, and neighboring states, to
represent you and all Masons,
said Hantz. With a little over 5,000
Masons in South Dakota, We have
decided to do our best to keep the
brothers together and increase our
members. The Grand Lodge meet-
ing this year will be family ori-
ented. We are working on scholar-
ships for the kids and giving to
charities. Weve got to keep our
roots growing.
One of the most community ori-
ented programs supported by Ma-
sons is the South Dakota Child
Identification Program (CHIP). A
Masonic District 15 meeting in Philip
Ike Dale was presented his 50-year pin during the District 15 meeting of South
Dakota Freemasons, December 1, in Philip. Back row, from left: Tucker Smith,
Brad Heltzel, District 15 Master Doug Thorson and Wall Master Grant Shearer.

personal identification package is
given to parents of participating
children. The packets includes a
photo, fingerprints, DNA swab,
and an audio/visual recording of
their child.
Im a 100 percent believer in
getting the older teenage girls in-
volved in the CHIP program. Its
not just for little kids, said Grant.
If you can get in with the school,
it really helps. We did our last
CHIP program on parent/teacher
day, said Thorson.
Hantz praised the public accessi-
bility and internal record keeping
by Masons by computers and the
Internet. Computers are a great
thing. All this paperwork going
back and forth will stop. Its all at
your fingertips, said Hantz. The
South Dakota Masonic website is
mygrandlodge.org.
The district meeting concluded
with a 50-year pin presentation to
Ike Dale, Philip. Dale entered Ma-
sonry in May 1961, and was raised
to Master Mason in March 1962.
I have a lot of stories. Its been
quite an experience, said Dale.
My friends, neighbors and broth-
ers, its been a fun trip so far.
Thorson noted that the year Dale
served as master of the Philip
lodge, 1969, was the year Thorson
was born.

Lookin Around by Syd Iwan
Ive worked as a waiter. I can
carry full cups of coffee around at
a goodly rate of speed without
spilling them. Well, er, usually I
can. Sometimes I may slop a little
if I try to go through a door while
carrying something in addition to
the coffee. Going through both the
front door and the screen door can
be problematic as well. Still, I have
fairly good liquid-carrying skills.
As you go through life, if you
dont watch out, youre apt to gain
skills at this and that (like coffee-
carrying) from jobs or experiences
you happen to have. Take cooking,
for example. Ive always cooked
some so as to avoid starvation
when left to my own devices. I
learned quite a bit more about it,
though, when I took up trying to
feed the wife, son and some ranch
guys in addition to myself. As it
happened, we decided many years
ago to home-school son Chance,
and wife Corinne wasnt sure she
could both teach and cook. The
cooking was known to take quite a
bit of time, especially on those days
the men came for dinner which
they did fairly often. As a result, I
volunteered for kitchen duty. This
was fine, but I had to stretch my
meager skills somewhat to avoid
serving the same fare every day
and also to accommodate some food
sensitivities plus likes and dis-
likes. I basically can and do eat al-
most everything without much
trouble, but this doesnt hold true
for everyone.
Anyway, through doing it, I
learned to cook a varied menu.
Whats more, I tend to get carried
away with any project I take on so
I learned a lot more than strictly
necessary through my fondness for
experimentation. Some experi-
ments came out nicely and others
not so much. Scones were not a
major success. Even the dog would-
nt eat them. He buried them in-
stead. Tacos, on the other hand,
turned out well including making
the shells from scratch. We have
eaten a lot of those.
I have also invented various
menu items and desserts although
often from goofing up and trying to
correct matters. Take the chocolate
cherry meringue cake I came up
with through accidentally adding
too much sugar when trying to
make an angel-food cake. After
cogitating over that mistake a bit,
I decided to add some cocoa and
chopped cherries and see what
happened. It turned out very well
indeed, and I still make it from
time to time. I had to call it a
meringue cake because adding too
much sugar to egg whites gives you
meringue, not angel food, but
thats no big deal.
The other day, though, I messed
up making that cake by setting the
oven to 275 degrees instead of 325.
I didnt notice the error until after
Id taken the pan out and turned it
upside down to cool. The cake then
fell out of the tin so something was
obviously wrongnamely it was
badly undercooked. Taking a hint
from how you warm up French
bread (according to the bread
wrapper,) I cranked the oven up to
400 degrees and threw the confec-
tion back in the oven for ten min-
utes although I wasnt at all sure
how that would come out. Luckily
it worked, and the cake was saved.
Alas, the learning curve is some-
what bent in areas where you may
have experience but little aptitude.
Electrical, plumbing, and mechan-
ical matters pop to mind. Ive had
to do some of all of those through
necessity, but Im not a fast
learner. Basic stuff I can do
through hard work and sweat, but,
if things get complicated, I call for
help. Carpentry is a little easier
but still not my best suit.
Then, too, if you live long
enough, some of the things youve
learned become obsolete. Take car
engines, for example. I know a lit-
tle about carburetors but nothing
about fuel injection. Electrical sys-
tems on modern cars are com-
pletely beyond me. You have to
have complicated electronic gear to
figure out what is wrong, and Im
not really interested in learning
that. Similarly, through great ef-
fort, I learned to develop photo-
graphic film and make both color
and black-and-white prints from
negatives. Now, thanks to the dig-
ital revolution, you can barely buy
film anymore. Thats okay, how-
ever. I dont miss all those smelly
chemicals and the tedium involved
with using them. Digital cameras
are great and computer printing
just fine.
At the moment, though, I am a
little short on my coffee consump-
tion for the day. Id better correct
that and maybe take some black
liquid out onto the deck to drink.
That is not a problem. Im pretty
good at carrying coffee around.
Maybe, too, Ill take my digital
camera along and try to capture
the sunset, which seems to be
shaping up nicely. Life goes on.
Live and learn.
(By the way, opinions vary.
Corinne has a lower opinion of my
coffee-carrying skills than I do.
Something about spots on the
floor.)
Staying in shape ... by Del Bartels
Eat right, exercise, get enough sleep and dont do anything bad for
your body. All these helpful rules sound good. Thats about all they do.
Eat right ... yeah right. Everything that tastes good is supposedly
bad for you, and if it isnt, then the quantity needed to survive is way
too much to stay healthy. Most things on grocery shelves include
monosodium glutamate, an amino acid industrially used as a flavor
enhancer. When I want flavor, I eat a steak. No, it is not the size of a
deck of cards; its a STEAK. If it doesnt cover the plate, it must be a
conspiracy by foreign-born politicians and the soy industry. Eat to sur-
vive? I survive to eat. Salad greens? I eat critters that eat greens.
Exercise (pardon my swearing) is for people who dont work, dont
have fun, dont anything else or dont have a life. Jogging, if it is not
in preparation for hunting season or to win at something, is nothing
more than self-inflicted pain. What rancher after branding calves,
putting in fence posts, loading hay and fertilizer, and knuckle-busting
to fix the tractor comes home and gets on the treadmill? Nobody ac-
tually wants to be stout, chunky, big-boned, horizontally tall, portly,
wide-ish or but has a great personality. Imagine a newlywed opening
her first Christmas present from her husband, to find a weight-loss
program certificate from the health club. Imagine your kid having
show-and-tell day on examples of big, and introducing you.
The sleep idea sounds soooo good. It just doesnt happen. Your boss
frowns on that sort of thing ... as do the passing motorists. Heaven
help you if your kid, from their chair in the band during a school con-
cert, can hear your snoring over the top of the bass drums. If sleep dep-
rivation wasnt such a socially-promoted thing, why do dance halls stay
open until after 1:00 a.m.? And, why do TV stations air 24 hours? Be-
sides, who can fall back asleep for the rest of the night once they get
up off of the couch? Maybe Ill get enough sleep after Im dead.
Not doing anything bad to your body is unnatural and anti-Ameri-
can. If everyone stopped drinking and smoking, the United States
economy would crash and the government would go broke from loss of
tax revenue. A healthy population would collapse more than a few en-
tire industries with people not needing vitamins, nor exercise equip-
ment, nor hangover remedies, nor any other health placeboes. Have
some beer, a cigar and pure sugar, then enjoy a roller coaster.
Generally, health is common sense, but that is often asking too
much. When it comes to eating habits, some people dont get the irony
of having candy machines in a dentists reception room. When it comes
to having a lifestyle full of work and fun activity, it was once said that
football is 50 athletes in desperate need of rest entertaining 50,000
spectators in desperate need of exercise. When it comes to sleep, just
turn off the TV, and, if really desperate, read a little something to put
yourself asleep, such as this column.

Condition of the Winter
Wheat Crop
The fall of 2012 has been a chal-
lenge for South Dakotas winter
wheat producers as they faced very
dry soil conditions to plant into.
During the week of November 25,
2012, 64 percent of winter wheat
in South Dakota was rated in poor
or very poor condition. This rating
was the worst of any state in the
primary winter wheat growing re-
gion.
The quick development of se-
vere to exceptional drought, ac-
cording to the U.S. Drought Moni-
tor (http://droughtmonitor.unl.
edu/), has affected much of the
wheat producing areas of the US.
The winter wheat crop conditions
in the central US has affected the
national rating, which is now at its
lowest level since records of this
type began in 1986.
The South Dakota Weekly Crop
Weather Report, published by the
National Agricultural Statistics
Service puts the hard red winter
wheat of South Dakota at 60 per-
cent emerged as of November 25.
Other states have significantly
better ratings, both in condition
and percent emerged. Some people
believe the report of 60 percent of
winter wheat emerged seems high.
The NASS crop progress estimates
are based on a subjective opinion
survey of county officials, which
are not claimed to be statistically
accurate. The important fact is
that even if the figure is high, 60%
is the lowest percent of winter
wheat emerged by late November
in South Dakota since at least
1990. One other fall that stands
out with a low percentage of win-
ter wheat emergence in South
Dakota was 2000, when 74 percent
of the crop was reported emerged
in November. The statewide aver-
age yield in 2001 was 32 bu/acre,
which tied for the 2nd and 3rd low-
est yield since 1990. It is not advis-
able to make yield predictions for
the 2013 cropping season based on
this however.
Many areas where winter wheat
was planted into dry soil have re-
ceived small amounts of moisture
via rain and/or snow. This limited
moisture has caused some of the
wheat to sprout, but little has ac-
tually emerged to a significant de-
gree. These seedlings have used
energy reserves from the seed, and
have not been able to generate
photosynthetic activity and de-
velop crowns to store energy for
winter survival. Without addi-
tional moisture, the sprouted
seedlings may dry out and die.
Dry soil cools off more quickly
and will get colder than soil with
adequate moisture, if low air tem-
peratures occur without snow for
insulation. This potential exposure
to low temperatures could con-
tribute to significant winterkill for
a crop in marginal condition. Mois-
ture in the form of either rain or
snow would improve the condition
of the crop and chances for its sur-
vival. However prospects for mois-
ture dont look good.
Producers may want to wait be-
fore making decisions such as fer-
tilizing until they have a better
handle on the potential of the crop.
As spring approaches, winter
wheat growers will want to assess
the condition of the crop. If the
crop is insured, producers should
contact their crop insurance agent
before taking steps to terminate
the crop and initiate alternative
plans.
The good news is that if the crop
survives, it is almost certain that
the plants will vernalize and pro-
duce a seed head. All that is neces-
sary for the winter wheat plants to
vernalize is for the kernel to take
on moisture and swell, and go
through a period of about three
weeks at about 40 degrees or
lower. It is almost unheard of for
winter wheat planted in the fall in
South Dakota to not complete that
process. It is well known among
producers that wheat, particularly
winter wheat, is a tough crop and
can surprise you with its re-
siliency.

This fall, many livestock produc-
ers who veterinarian Jim Stangle,
Milesville, works with have to be
creative when it comes to finding
forage for their cattle.
The drought left them with re-
duced hay supplies and little to no
winter grazing. To help ensure that
the forages his clients find are safe
to feed, the Haakon County veteri-
narian tests samples of standing
forages for nitrates.
Because of the drought we knew
nitrates would be a big problem
this year. I took a South Dakota
State University Extension train-
ing course so I could provide local
testing to producers in my area,
said Stangle, who was one of many
South Dakota veterinarians to re-
ceive certification from SDSU Ex-
tension this summer on the nitrate
quik test.
Along with getting their forages
tested for nitrates, Stangle said
that, because many of his clients
have to purchase additional forages
or protein supplements this year,
many cattle producers rely on
SDSU Extension to provide them
with information on affordable op-
tions, as well as customized feed
rations.
Because they arent selling a
product, producers know they can
trust SDSU Extension field special-
ists for unbiased recommenda-
tions, Stangle said.
Adele Harty, Philip, is the SDSU
Extension cow/calf field specialist
Stangle works with. She is one of
about specialists hired when a new
staffing model was put into place
October 2011 as part of a complete
reorganization, implemented to
comply with state budget cuts.
Harty has worked within SDSU
Extension since 2005. When she
was rehired in 2011 as an SDSU
Extension field specialist her job
description changed.
I was raised on a cow/calf oper-
ation. My education is focused in
cow/calf nutrition. Before I was re-
hired, I worked with all livestock
producers. Now that I'm able to
focus on, and work with solely
cow/calf producers I can utilize my
knowledge, experience and educa-
tion to help South Dakota cow/calf
producers to become better at what
they are already good at, Harty
said.
Harty and her peers are expected
to have their master's degree.
Today, field specialists office in one
of eight regional centers, but often
travel throughout the state.
This provides a greater level of
expertise to the entire state, said
Rosie Nold, SDSU Extension pro-
gram director for agriculture and
natural resources. Instead of gen-
eralists in each county, we have
several specialized staff serving the
entire state. This allows SDSU Ex-
tension to provide a deeper level of
focus, expertise and research based
information to help solve the chal-
lenging questions or issues South
Dakotans face.
Karla Trautman, associate direc-
tor of SDSU Extension, added that
because specialists serve the entire
state, there is an increased focus on
collaboration between SDSU Ex-
tension specialists, SDSU faculty
and supporters throughout the
state.
Through the budget driven reor-
ganization, SDSU Extension in-
creased its commitment to 4-H.
More than 30 4-H youth program
advisor positions were created, in
coordination with local communi-
ties, to focus on 4-H, a program
which serves more than 59,000
South Dakota youth each year.
The university reinforced its
commitment to 4-H and youth de-
velopment by implementing county
level 4-H youth program advisor
positions, Peter Nielson, SDSU
Extension 4-H youth development
program director. Four-H mem-
bers and programs did not have
this type of dedicated focus in the
old system."
Nielson explained that today
there is more of a prioritized 4-H
focus because, 4-H youth program
advisors, like field specialists, are
fully committed to 4-H and youth
programming.
Although there have been grow-
ing pains in many areas, 4-H mem-
bers and their families have seen
increased opportunities this year,"
said Paula Hamilton, president of
the state 4-H leaders association.
Along with face-to-face educa-
tional seminars and workshops,
SDSU Extension offers webinars,
has smartphone apps and provides
24/7 access to educational materi-
als and information through iGrow.
iGrow is an online teaching plat-
form. The free service gives produc-
ers information they need to moni-
tor current developments in agri-
culture, research and trade; farm
specific agricultural weather, prof-
itability calculators, and libraries
of agricultural production and
management information, podcasts
and forums, all in a highly secure
online environment that works on
computers, smart phones and mo-
bile Internet devices.
We look at iGrow as our virtual
SDSU Extension office. Within its
first year of operation, this virtual
office has had 96,000 visitors and
those visitors asked 300,000 ques-
tions, said Emery Tschetter, direc-
tor of communications and market-
ing for SDSU College of Agricul-
ture and Biological Sciences.
South Dakotans can also pick up
the phone and call AnswerLine
with a question. AnswerLine is a
toll free connection to family and
consumer science specialists dedi-
cated to answering questions and
directing consumers to research-
based resources.
This is a one-stop-shop for an-
swers to family and consumer sci-
ence questions," said Joan
Hegerfeld-Baker, Extension food
safety specialist. Through An-
swerLine, consumers have access
to an office full of specialists, along
with data and resources compiled
by SDSU Extension field special-
ists, faculty and researchers."
During the growing season, An-
swerLine also provided access to
answers for horticultural ques-
tions.
SDSU Extension also hit the air-
waves in 2011, introducing the
iGrow radio network. A companion
service to iGrow.org, the daily
three minute segment can be heard
on 12 major radio stations across
the state and region.
Hosted by farm broadcaster,
Pam Geppert, iGrow Radio Net-
work programs are drawn from the
credible and accurate information
on iGrow.org. The radio programs
feature field specialists and univer-
sity faculty who cover a variety of
topics ranging from agronomy and
weather, to livestock production
and rural life.

tension, visit iGrow.org.

Philip FFA chapter
Jones Saddlery, Bottle and Vet, Philip, and Golden Veterinarian Services,
Milesville, made recent donations to the Philip FFA chapter. The donations were
made possible by a Pfizer Animal Health program. For eligible purchases of Pfizer
Animal Health cattle and equine products, a donation was made on behalf of
each local business to the Philip FFA Chapter. The chapter and its student mem-
bers can use the funding for help with classroom materials, educational oppor-
tunities, travel to the national convention and more. The money will be used to
help fund local community projects and FFA scholarships, said Doug Hauk, Philip
FFA Chapter advisor. Shown above, from left, are Philip FFA Chapter members

Wednesday, November 21, my
granddaughter, Sheridan Hansen,
took me along to a place where you
paint pottery items and they glaze
the pieces and fire them. This
makes a unique gift, a keepsake.
Sheridan, Tiger and I had fun
painting. We made a cute dish for
Ant Emily by Sheridan, a colorful
big bowl for Dad Duinkherjav by
Tiger and a mug done in very early
sunflowers by Grandma Hansen.
Thank you for the experience,
Sheridan.
Leslie Hansen, my son, sent a
letter of pleasant reminiscences
from Bend, Ore. Thank you, Leslie.
My niece, Wanda, and her hus-
band, Ed Artz, sent a beautiful
Thanksgiving card. She also sent a
page of lovely Christmas stamps
with three wise men and camels
and star. Thanks you for the card,
stamps, letter and pillows. I am
glad to get the pillows, as Gwynn
had given me some pretty fabric
that is intended for cushions. M.R.
Hansen came for scrabble. He and
senior student Tony Kuleza went to
Custer today to visit Ralph ONeill,
who, at 104 years of age, is the old-
est living civil engineering gradu-
ate of the South Dakota School of
Mines and Technology. He lives
with his son, Ken, in Custer.
Thank you for the news item, M.R.
M.R. phoned my son, David, and
found that David and Janet were
on their way to Missouri or Kansas
to visit some of Janets folks for
Thanksgiving. Ralph has had an
outstanding career of over 60 years
with the S.D. Dept. of Transporta-
tion and with Aaron Swan and As-
sociates. Mr. ONeill is also a dis-
tant relative of Philips oldtime
house mover and engineer, Ervin
ONeill.
Watch out for cutesy doo-dads,
they will destroy your feng shui!
On Thanksgiving Day, at Somer-
set Court, my tablemate, Marilyn
Butts, had company at lunch, her
daughter and son-in-law, Carla
and Kelly Jerred, Rapid City. They
stayed an hour or so and showed
Marilyn photos taken on their re-
cent trip to Idaho Falls for Mari-
lyns great-granddaughters first
birthday.
Another of my tablemates at
Somerset Court had given her
daughter, Beverly, a sizable check
to buy supplies for a family
Thanksgiving dinner.
Vivian Hansen had been invited
to dinner at her son, M.R. and wife
Barbaras home in Rapid City.
They expected their daughter,
Tiffany, and family from Iowa City,
Willow Hansen, Spearfish, and
Blaise Hansen, Cheyenne. Vivian
Hansen woke up with red circles
around both eyes, so she decided to
stay in her apartment so her bud-
dies would not have to see her
looking so awful.
Vivians son, Leslie, Bend, Ore.,
surprised her with a visit. They
shared a Somerset Court noon
meal, (plenty for both), had a good
game of scrabble, and talked phi-
losophy and then Leslie played the
piano. He has great power and
style. Thank you, Leslie.
Vivians daughter, Vinnie, and
husband of Santa Cruz, Calif., had
a negative experience on Thanks-
giving Day. Vinnie emailed that
Danny chased a thief out of their
house and the thief drew a gun.
Neighbors helped out with cell
phones and the thief was appre-
hended. They also found most of
the things he stole. Over all, they
were thankful because Danny was
not shot, and because in general
they have a beautiful life.
Philip Pioneer Review of Novem-
ber 15, 2012, came up with some
astounding news again. One item
puzzled me, is Rita OConnell mov-
ing? I got a charge out of Blast
From the Past in 1937 Grace
Fairchild took a trip to Pananma to
visit her son, Jasper. He was run-
ning a large banana plantation.
Thanksgiving was good fun. But
now it is officially Christmas sea-
son. Christmas decorations are in
order. Some beautiful doorways are
already being set up. Irene McK-
night had company at breakfast
Friday, November 23, her daugh-
ter, Gloria Crumet, spent the week-
end. It is good to see Gloria again.
She used to live here but now lives
in Spearfish.
On the day after Thanksgiving at
Somerset Court, Ken Monette
stopped by at breakfast and told
me he had written a poem (his first
in 25 years) and put it in our Som-
erset Court scrapbook on the coffee
table by the fireplace. Thank you,
Ken. Be sure to sit down and read
it.
Somerset Court resident, Bernie
James, is now at Meadowbrook. Vi-
olet Jenison, another Somerset
Court resident, is at this time at
West Hills Village. And Opal Win-
jum, who used to live at Somerset
Court is also at West Hills Village
and our volunteer, Amy Voyles, vis-
its her.
Friday morning after exercises,
Irene Cox, Addie Rorvig, Shirley
Horn and Vivian played a little 500
rummy and bananagrams.
The Somerset Court movie Fri-
day was Miracle on 34th Street.
We enjoyed the oldie.
M.R. Hansen brought me a big
red poinsettia. Thanks, Mig. Later
on Friday, M.R., his son, Blaise,
and Blaises daughter, Willow, 13,
and M.R.s daughter, Tiffanys two
sons, Adam, 10, and Josh, 14, all
came to visit me at Somerset
Court. Adam played the piano for
us. We played a game of six-handed
scrabble. Thanks for your visit.
The November 22, 2012, Pioneer
Review had a good article about
Philips Scotchman Industries gen-
erous donation of machines and
training to the workshop for veter-
ans.
Saturday, November 24, at Som-
erset Court, Vivian Hansen had
company, her son, Leslie, Bend,
Ore. Leslie sat through exercises
with the residents.
Leslie suggested that we have a
project of baking bread from
scratch. Somerset kitchen provided
a big mixing bowl and two loaf
pans, a little flour, yeast and sugar.
Leslie and Vivian stirred up a
sponge which means a starter to
get the yeast growing. You will
need a couple of cups of comfort-
ably warm water, not hot. Add a
couple tablespoons of sugar, and
stir it well, now add about two ta-
blespoons of granulated dry yeast
and stir. Let is develop at room
temperature. In 20 to 30 minutes,
the yeast spores will have multi-
plied and made a foamy mixture.
Now add a cup of warm water and
a cup of flour. Stir well, and let that
continue to grow the yeast. From
there you can add a little shorten-
ing and flour until it makes a firm
dough. Knead and form into a
smooth ball. Let it stand at room
temperature until it is about twice
its original size. Then form it into
two loaves. Or as we did, one loaf
and a dozen biscuits. Then go do
something else while they grow for
about an hour or maybe two. Bake
at 350 degrees. Be sure to open
your door and let the neighbors
enjoy the aroma.
Thank you to the Somerset
kitchen staff. It was a pleasant ex-
perience. Leslie also entertained
with piano music. Thank you,
Leslie. We walked some laps and
Leslie got to meet Maxine Burgess
up on third floor.
Leslie left to do errands and M.R.
Hansen came over for scrabble. He
was just leaving when Leslie came
back. So then, Leslie sampled the
bread and pronounced it edible.
Edna Wulff dropped in and we
asked her to take our picture with
the bread and biscuits waiting to
rise.
There was quite a little whist
played in the afternoon. I saw Irene
Arbach, Irene Cox, Susan and
probably Ina playing.
Sunday, November 25, Irene
McKnight went along to Spearfish
to take Gloria Crumet to her home.
In the evening, Irenes daughter,
Beverly, came to Somerset Court to
help Irene with Christmas decora-
tions.
You should see the new doorway
decorations on third floor at Som-
erset Court. Elaine Backes has a
Mr. and Mrs. Christmas dolls who
nod and bow. Wilma Keene has a
new Christmas arrangement. Ray
and Mildred Kraemer have a big
red nose on their deer head their
son shot the deer some years back.
This is the time when we hang
our Christmas stockings and get
our decorations out of the store-
room at Somerset Court.
Sunday, my son, Leslie, went to
Philip to church at the old church
where he went as a youngster.
We had church at Somerset
Court in the afternoon with Rev.
Richardson. He was wearing his
great-grandfathers clerical robe.
He told us he had spent some time
with his lively grandson. Jack
Humke played piano for us. He
played What a Friend We Have In
Jesus, At the Cross, Angels
From the Realms of Glory, O
Come Emmanuel, There Shall be
Showers of Blessings, and several
others for us to sing. Rev. Richard-
sons theme was on thanks we
should always be thankful a
thankful heart is a happy heart.
M.R. Hansen came for scrabble
and made two pleasant words, wel-
come and wealth. We needed a
word with the letters v i g and sure
enough, vig is a word. It refers to
money paid to a a bookie.
Leslie Hansen came for supper
and a little pool. We had a nice
visit.
At Somerset Court on November
26, 2012, we had a little snow, very
pretty. Some residents went shop-
ping and brought back loads of
Christmas gifts as well as house-
hold necessities. Thanks Shawn
and Sandy for being so helpful.
Monday morning we also had
crafts with Amy and made cute lit-
tle Christmas elves.
My son, Leslie, came to visit and
we played the piano together,
Camptown Races. Leslie put up
my strings of red and green Christ-
mas lights that Mig gave me last
year. Then he went to get his car
fixed. Sheridan came and brought
my jacket that I had left in her car,
but she didnt wake me up, so I
missed seeing her.
The Somerset Court Monday
movie was Stuart Little. It was
sort of a cartoon and Stuart, a
mouse, was living with people. You
have to see it to understand. He
has outlandish adventures. I had to
leave, so I never found out what
happened in the end.
Irene Cox lent me Elaine Backes
Mitchell Daily Republic newspaper
so I could read the article about the
book, Heaven is for Real by
Colton Burpo and his writer, Linn
Vincent. The book tells about the
little boys near-death experience.
He describes Jesus and other char-
acters in detail. The book sold well
and provided trust funds for the
boy and money for his parents to
appear on TV and tell about his
book. Thank you, Irene, and thank
you, Elaine.
M.R. Hansen came for scrabble.
Crystal Denke Jackson emailed
that stray messages were on my
email. I dont know how to fix that.
So I may not send any more emails.
Goodbye Yahoo! Crystal reported
that the Monarch butterfly in her
dooryard hatched. Also she had the
fun of going to walnut tree in the
neighborhood and finding walnuts
in the leaf litter. The walnuts are
brown and the leaf litter is brown.
November 27, Leslie dropped in
early and visited until breakfast,
when he went on his way.
After exercises, we had goofy
golf. Susan and Sandy picked up
balls and kept score. Residents who
played were Fred Smith, Mary Lou
Peters, Irene McKnight, Virginia
Gray, and her friend, Denise Beck,
Mildred Young and helper Kay,
Eileen Tenold, Marge Self, Marilyn
Butts, Jim Holmes and Vivian
Hansen. Fred won one game and
Marilyn the other. Thanks to our
activity directors. We like goofy
golf.
Also on Tuesday, at Somerset
Court, we had bingo with winners
Mary Lou, twice, Addie, twice,
Marilyn Oyler, and Mildred Young.
The birthday bash was cele-
brated for those residents with No-
vember birthdays: Mary Gaffney,
5th, Lucille Huether, 8th, Irma
Brandt, 9th, Marge Gaffin, 14th,
Agnes Tastad, 15th, LaVerne With,
17th, Elaine Backes, 27th, Grace
Tllery, 30th, and staff, Jade Rea,
1st, Alexandria Hurger, 3rd, Jes-
sica Caffee, 18th. A big decorated
cake and vanilla ice cream were
served and Happy Birthday, God
Bless You was was sung. In the
late afternoon, a group played
rummi-cube, Irene Arbach, Irene
Cox, Susan, Marcella, Addie, and
possibly others.
M.R. Hansen came for scrabble
and with two blanks made a word
using all his letters (for 50 extra
points). My son, David Hansen,
phoned from Ft. Pierre. He had a
good trip to Missouri to visit some
of Janets family over Thanksgiv-
ing. His sister, Delores, had phoned
him, which is seldom enough to
rate a mention.
West Central Electric put out a
fine magazine called Cooperative
Connections. There are articles for
greater efficiency and safety in
using electricity, pictures of safety
posters made by local children, a
calendar of events and even a page
of favorite recipes in the December
issue.
At Somerset Court on Wednes-
day, our activity directors took a
Somerset Court bus load of resi-
dents out for lunch to a steak
house. I believe Lad Burgr and
Marge Self went to Deadwood on
the bus and maybe Mildred Krae-
mer. Irene Cox, Irene Arbach,
Susan and Eleanor played whist.
Mary Lou, Sandy, Addie and Mar-
garet played rummi-cube. Resident
Jane Bunch invited Vivian to play
up-words with her and her daugh-
ter, Tati, and daughter-in-law,
Julie. I had forgotten how much
fun up-words is. Thank you for
having me in, Jane. Janes son,
Bob, was with the group.
Our new Somerset Court resi-
dent, Richard Kessel, used to be a
professor in the college at Iowa
City for 38 years.
The Rapid City Journal of No-
vember 28, 2012, had the obituary
of Eva Doughty Forkner, Box
Elder, who passed away November
26, 2012. Eva is a sister of Somer-
set Court resident, Lucille
Huether. My sympathy to the fam-
ily and friends. I have known the
Doughty family since my childhood
in the Grindstone country.
Friday, we had the activity of
practice the stairs which is a new
activity for the purpose of making
residents more self-reliant when
and if they need or wish to use the
stairs. Stair climbing will be super-
vised with any help that is needed.
There could be times when the ele-
vators are not working and one
wishes to be on a different floor.
My son, Leslie, dropped in at
breakfast time to visit for a while.
We were puzzling ourselves about
the old method of determining the
square root of any number. We did-
nt wish to resort to a calculator. If
you are good at the old formula,
please show me how.
Marjorie Gaffin has a pretty
Christmas tree outside her apart-
ment door on third floor. It has
needlepoint ornaments.
For snack and chat we had the
treat of some fancy cupcakes.
Glue some tissue paper around
the edge of a new flag. The glue re-
mains and helps keep the flag from
fraying. Thank you to Somerset
Court resident LaVerne With for
this bit of lore.
Irene Cox, Vivian Hansen, Addie
Rorvig, Mary Lou Peters, Susan
and Margaret played quiddler after
snack and chat.

Greetings from dark, breezy, dry,
not-too-cool northeast Haakon
County. The reason it is dark is be-
cause I'm writing this news on
Monday night, because I have a lot
to do on Tuesday. Our weather has
been so unseasonably warm the
past few days I haven't even
needed to wear a coat when I walk
to the barn to feed the cats. That is
certainly unusual for this time of
year! Sometimes I worry that if we
have all this nice weather now, we
are probably going to pay for it
later on. And I guess that could
possibly be the case, but for now I'll
just enjoy the warmth.
It was kind of bittersweet last
week here at Neuhauser ranch
when we removed some of the trees
that Randy's Grandpa Rube
planted many decades ago. The
trees were huge Chinese elms that
had shaded grandpa's house and
yard for years and years, but they
had come to the end of their life.
They needed to be removed before
they fell and damaged the house or
tore out electric lines. We called in
professionals to help with the job
the trees were too big for us to
tackle on our own. I hoped that
maybe we could just take out the
dead limbs, but the experts said
the trees were 90 percent dead, and
there just wasn't anything to be
saved. So now there is a lot more
sunlight on the south side of the
house, and we have a huge pile of
tree trunks and branches at the
edge of the hill. Those trees served
their purpose well, and next spring
I'll be planting some trees to take
their place.
It is getting closer to Christmas,
and the local schools have set the
dates of their Christmas programs,
so mark your calendars! The pro-
gram at Cheyenne School will be
held at 7 p.m. CST Thursday, De-
cember 13, at the Kirley Hall. And
the program at the Deep Creek
School will be Wednesday, Decem-
ber 19, at 7 p.m. CST at the school.
Following the programs, there will
be treats and refreshments, and
everyone is invited to attend. The
students work hard preparing for
the programs I hope they have
good crowds!
And speaking of schools, the
Deep Creek students and their
teacher, Theresa Deuchar, at-
tended an assembly in Philip
Thursday, November 29. The pre-
sentor had music as his medium to
teach some positive messages for
the kids. Unfortunately, during the
assembly, Theresa's car had a flat
tire, so Mark Coyle loaned them a

Thomas S. McDonnell_____________
Thomas S. Tom McDonnell,
age 101, of Wall, S.D., died Friday,
November 30, 2012, at the Philip
Nursing Home.
Thomas S. McDonnell was born,
along with his twin brother, Vern,
on May 15, 1911, on their parents
homestead 10 miles north of
Quinn, the son of Frank and Ida
(Riesing) McDonnell.
They grew up on the homestead
and received their education at the
Huron Township rural school in
that area. As a young man, Tom
farmed in the Quinn area.
Tom was united in marriage to
Rose Melvin on December 24,
1945, at Cheyenne, Wyo. Tom and
Rose, along with his brother, Vern,
and Verns wife, Beulah, farmed
on the family homestead. Tom
later purchased a D-8 Cat scraper
and Dozer, and built dams and
roads in the Quinn area for over 10
years.
In 1972, Tom and Rose moved
into Wall, yet Tom returned to the
homestead daily. After Roses
death on October 12, 2001, Tom
continued to reside in Wall. In
2009, at the age of 98, he remained
active operating the D-7 Cat and
did a lot of dirt work for his
nephew Steve. In May 2010, Tom
moved into the Philip Nursing
Home where he joined his brother,
Vern.
Survivors include his twin
brother, Vern McDonnell of Philip;
his nephew, Steven McDonnell
and his wife, Terry, of Quinn, and
his niece, Lea Ymker, of Armour;
18 nieces and nephews; a sister-in-
law, Cecilia Melvin of Wall; and a
host of other relatives and friends.
In addition to his wife Rose, Tom
was preceded in death by his fa-
ther Frank in 1955, his mother Ida
in 1957; and a great-nephew
Travis McDonnell.
Graveside services were held
Tuesday, December 4, at the Wall
Cemetery, with Father Leo Haus-
mann officiating.
At Tom's request, in lieu of flow-
ers memorials are to be directed to
the Philip Nursing Home.
Arrangements were with the
Rush Funeral Chapel of Wall.

Robert John Reedy________________
Robert John Reedy, 67, Vale,
S.D., died Thursday, November 29,
2012, at his residence in Vale.
Mass of Christian burial was
celebrated Monday, December 3,
2012, at St. Mary's Star of the Sea
Catholic Church in Newell with
Father Tyler Dennis officiating.
Burial was at the Vale Cemetery.
Robbie was born January 18,
1945, in Kadoka to John and Emi-
lie (Barcal) Reedy. He grew up in
a family of six children north of
Philip, near the Grindstone
Buttes. He graduated from Philip
High School in 1963. Robbie then
attended one year at the South
Dakota School of Mines & Technol-
ogy.
He joined the U.S. Navy and
served in Germany for two years
before being assigned to the U.S.
Embassy in Cyprus for another
two years. He was one of only two
who earned the rank of 2nd Class
Petty Officer in the entire U.S.
Navy that year.
Following his honorable dis-
charge, Robbie returned to Philip
after the death of his younger
brother to help run the family
ranch. He married Paula Weiss on
June 9, 1973, in Mondovi, Wisc.
They ranched in Philip until 1977
when they moved to Fairpoint,
where they ranched until 1988.
They then moved to Newell. Rob-
bie always said, "They were tough
but wonderful years." Robbie then
became a surveyor for the Bureau
of Reclamation. In 2001, he began
working at the Department of Vet-
erans Affairs, Fort Meade.
His family was Robbie's greatest
treasure. He loved to dance, was
a great storyteller, and was a good
friend to many. He loved his
friends, ranching, surveying, and
taking care of those in the nursing
home. Robbie was a member of St.
Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic
Church, the Vale Township Board,
the Knights of Columbus, and the
Philip American Legion and both
the Fairpoint and Vale fire depart-
ments.
He is survived by his wife,
Paula, Vale; his children, Julie
(Scott) Wheeler, Sundance, Wyo.,
Will (Misty) Reedy, Vale, Christy
(Darrin) Jons, Pierre, Mary Reedy,
Rapid City, Anna (Chris) Skeen,
Pine Haven, Wyo., Meghan Reedy,
Camp Crook, and Joseph Reedy,
Chadron, Neb.; his mother, Emilie
Reedy, Philip; two sisters, Mary
Kay Sandal and Joann (Lester)
Pearson of Philip; one brother,
Mike, of Colorado; and eight
grandchildren, Tori, Brit, Peter,
Josie, Emilie, Mathew, Bailey and
Cooper.
He was preceded in death by his
father, John, and two brothers,
Richard and Joseph Reedy.
Robbie was a wonderful hus-
band, father and friend. He will be
greatly missed.

pickup to get to their next stop. The
students and Theresa met Tom
Radway at his home, and he told
them about his accident that oc-
curred many years ago, resulting in
him being in a wheelchair. He
showed everyone how he copes
with everyday life. The most inter-
esting aspect was how he operates
his van. Before the class left, Tom
made sure the class had some good-
ies. The students had questions
and learned much from Tom. Next
on the schedule was a visit with
Chuck Allen. The students were
much impressed by the process of
preparing rocks in his rock shop to
make different items. According to
Theresa, listening to all of the in-
formation from Chuck was like a
science class. Chuck and Etta gave
the students some of the beautiful
rocks and shared cookies with
them. After picking up the car, the
class traveled to the school for a
quick lunch and then on to Ed
Briggs' place to get a Christmas
tree. Ed Briggs and Beth King met
the group, ready to give everyone a
ride on a wagon pulled by a team of
Beth's two draft horses. Ed and
Beth had on Santa hats, and the
wagon and horses were also
dressed up. Russ Sinkey joined the
group to help with the tree hunt. It
took a little while to find just the
right tree. After getting the tree to
the schoolhouse, Russ trimmed the
tree and set it up in the classroom.
This truly is the season when we
see others giving of their time, es-
pecially all of those whom the Deep
Creek students encountered that
day. (submitted by Theresa
Deuchar)
On a personal note, thanks to
Theresa Deuchar for sharing this
information. And also thanks to
Mark Coyle, Tom Radway, Chuck
Allen and Etta Erdmann, Ed
Briggs, Beth King, and Russ
Sinkey for making the day so spe-
cial for the kids. Days like that are
but one of the benefits of attending
a rural school! The students will
probably never forget the lessons
they learned that day. And as for
Christmas tree hunting at the
Briggs' place that is carrying on
a tradition that Ed's father, Elmer,
used to love! I'm so glad to see that
tradition continue!
Lola Roseth and her sister,
Linda Smith, were in Sioux Falls
from Tuesday through Friday of
last week attending a conference.
Saturday, Lola was in Rapid City
helping with statewide EMT test-
ing. She said it was a long day, but
it is good to get more EMTs certi-
fied in the state. Duane and Lola
attended church Sunday.
Nels and Dorothy Paulson spent
some time working on corrals again
this week. Dorothy said they were
putting in new fence in an area
where some windbreak blew down
earlier this year. Wednesday, Nels
helped the Allemans vaccinate
calves. Friday, Nels and Dorothy
were in town for supplies, and they
also had time for a brief visit with
some friends. Saturday, Dorothy
went to the neighbor's place to pick
up her Bountiful Basket that Katie
Bruce had brought from Hayes.
Dorothy attended church Sunday,
and there was a Ladies Aid meet-
ing following the church service.
Dorothy said Christmas candle-
light services will be held at Deep
Creek Church Sunday, December
23, at 5 p.m. The church service
will be followed by a potluck sup-
per.
Work continues on the cabin at
the Markwed place. Larry Tibbs
was out last Wednesday to work on
the wiring for the cabin, and the
plumber will be doing some work
this week. Arlyne said earlier that
she would like to have the cabin
finished by Christmas, and it looks
like that is a distinct possibility!
Billy and Arlyne Markwed helped
with an auction sale Sunday. When
I spoke with Arlyne Monday morn-
ing, she and great-grandson Kyler
were busy baking a birthday cake
to celebrate Kyler's second birth-
day. Happy birthday to him! Kyler
evidently loves to help, and while

Midland News
It seems it was only the other
day that I was doing my news col-
umn from the Ortman Hotel and
here it is, another Monday. When
doing my column at that hotel, I
was using a table in the hallway
near our room. A couple of Amish
ladies stopped and inquired as to
what I was doing. I told them I was
doing my weekly Midland News
column for the Pioneer Review. I
shared of my aunt, Ida Hunt, hav-
ing been the Midland News re-
porter, for right at 42 years. Being
interested in how I sent my news to
the Pioneer Review, I told of typing
it up as I was doing, highlighting it,
hit copy and paste and sending it
off to the paper. Told them it works
great unless you accidentally hit
delete and erase all your work.
From there, we struck up a friend-
ship. Sharing stories. They showed
me a newspaper from Indiana
where they live, with news columns
of the different areas. They shared
stories of their Amish way of life
and I shared stories of our ances-
tors who came from Norway, Ger-
many, Holland and other places,
buying land, and forming a com-
munity. And so, in sharing our sto-
ries, there was a feeling of kinship.
I always find it interesting and
amazing, how in doing something
like writing a local news column in
the hallway of a hotel, brings inter-
esting people into ones lives. God
gives us those unexpected bless-
ings. They were two very nice
ladies.
Hosting Thanksgiving Day at
their home near Bear Butte were
Tracy, Lori, Brooke and Brett
Konst. Those able to be there for
prime rib were Pat Snook, Gary,
Deb, Gavin and Garrett Snook,
Midland, Rene Konst, Terry
Buchert, Philip, Dick and Gene
Hudson, near the Four Corners
area, and James, Melony, Madison
and Preston Gilles, Murdo. Pat
spent Wednesday night there and
helped set tables, etc. Gary, Deb
and boys spent the night in Rapid
City with Pat so they could make
an early morning purchase before
heading home.
Pat Snook and friends attended
the parade of lights in Rapid City
Saturday evening; over 200 beauti-
fully decorated floats wowed the
thousands of people lining the
streets. The weather cooperated,
being about 40, but the wind was
a little chilly.
Pat drove to Pierre Friday to
keep appointments, and stayed
overnight with Ted and Ginger
Fenwick. Saturday, she was in
Midland to see the beautiful
Christmas trees set up at the Le-
gion Hall. And as Pat said, a big
thank you goes out to Carol and
Roy Hunt and crew for making this
event possible. There was a huge
crowd on hand to enjoy the trees,
the children's live nativity, and the
soup luncheon provided by the sen-
ior citizens.
Wednesday, Marie Anderson and
Judy Daly and Steve Daly attended
the funeral of Marie's brother, Roy
Roseth. Also going to the funeral
were Bill and LaVonne Wheeler,
Pierre, and Dr. Wayne and April
Anderson, Rapid City. Wayne and
April and Marie stopped in and vis-
ited at the Daly ranch when they
came from the funeral.
Visiting at the Judy Daly home
on Thanksgiving were Marie An-
derson of the Silverleaf, Steve and
Julie and Carson and Dane Daly,
Bruce and Linda Kroetch, Philip,
Bill and LaVonne Wheeler, Pierre,
Tim and Lynette Hullinger and
daughters, Shania and Alexis, all
of Murdo, and Andrew and Lisa
and Joe and Claire Kunz, Sioux
Falls.
Don and Vera Kraemer, Bison,
came to Midland Friday for a visit,
staying at the home of Ernie and
Laurel Nemec. Friday night supper
guests at Ernie and Laurels were
Don and Vera and Bob and Verona
Evans. Saturday, Don headed for
Chamberlain where he attended
some classes. Vera stayed in Mid-
land going to Christmas in Mid-
land and seeing many folks she
knew from when they lived in Mid-
land when Don was CEO of the
Midland school. Saturday evening,
Ernie and Laurel and Don and
Vera were supper guests at Bob
and Veronas. After church Sun-
day, Don and Vera headed for
home.
Tuesday, November 20, Keith
Hunt, Christine Niedan, Teresa
Palmer, Janice Tolton and Michelle
Meinzer went to Philip for visita-
tion for Roy Roseth. After dropping
off Keith at the funeral home, they
picked up their mom, Ida Hunt, at
the nursing home, so all could go to
the visitation for their uncle and
brother-in-law.
Thanks to Teresa (Hunt) Palmer,
Murdo, for reporting on their trip
to El Paso.
Wednesday, November 21,
Christine Niedan, Teresa Palmer
and Jan Tolton flew out from the
Rapid City airport for El Paso,
Texas, to spend Thanksgiving with
Jans daughter, Jenna, Oscar and
one-year-old Keenan. Jenna is a PA
stationed at Ft. Bliss, the Army
base in El Paso. Oscar is stationed
in California.
Thanksgiving, the group went to
a parade which had several bands,
acrobats (who stopped and per-
formed in front of the crowd), many
huge floats an especially pretty
one was a train engine and three
cars, and other walkers. We en-
joyed eating Thanksgiving dinner
out which was a nice treat. Jenna
had pumpkin pie for us to enjoy
later in the evening. Friday, found
everyone (except Keenan who went
to day care) viewing the border into
Chihuahua, Mexico. It was inter-
esting to see all the people crossing
the bridge, carrying goods in suit-
cases and bags, to return to Mexico.
After shopping in that area, we ate
out, picked up Keenan, and re-
turned to Jennas lovely home.
That night, the girls babysat
Keenan so Jenna and Oscar could
go out to a movie. Saturday was
spent going on base, shopping and
eating. Everything one wants or
needs is available on base.
Sunday was spent shopping and
going on a tram ride (a mile high)
from which you could see three
states and two nations. It was quite
an experience for all the girls who
are not very fond of heights. Early
Monday morning, Jenna, Oscar,
and Keenan took the girls to the
airport for a 7:30 a.m. flight. After
arriving in Dallas, there was a
slight delay in take off because of
freezing fog in Rapid City. We ar-
rived back in South Dakota to fog
and snow, so the plane missed the
first landing. This was quite a
change from short sleeve weather
in Texas. This was a very special
trip as Jenna will be deployed to
Afghanistan on December 8.
Keenan will go with his dad to Cal-
ifornia. Plans are Oscar and
Keenan will return to El Paso in
May when Oscar retires from the
military. Our prayers for Gods
safety are with Jenna and all oth-
ers serving in Afghanistan.
Tuesday before Thanksgiving,
Gene and Audrey Jones left home
to spend Thanksgiving with daugh-
ter Brenda and Todd Nierman and
family, Trevor, Emily, and Zoey, in
Verona, Wis. They stopped for the
night at the motel in Lacrosse for
the night as it was very foggy
around the Mississippi River. Bill
Bruce's nephew, Aaron Greenwood,
is the associate general manager of
the motel, so they enjoyed a nice
visit with him. Brenda had to work
on Thanksgiving, so dinner was in
the evening. Todd and Gene did
most of the preparations. Many
football games, much shopping and
a couple jigsaw puzzles were in-
cluded in the visit. Gene and Au-
drey returned home Monday.
Guests of Edna and Roger Dale
for Thanksgiving were her sisters,
Paula Jones, Julie and Jer
Whitcher. Also, their son, Brandon
Dale, was home for Thanksgiving
and the weekend from his school
duties in Rapid City.
St. William Altar Society had
their annual Christmas party, sup-
per, meeting and gift exchange,
Saturday, December 2, at the home
of Amiee Block with Jody Block as
co-hostess. This is always a fun
time and puts one in the Christmas
spirit.
Two-hundred-twenty-nine peo-
ple signed their name at the 10th
anniversary of Christmas in Mid-
land Saturday, December 1. The
event was held at the Midland Le-
gion Hall with the senior citizens
serving a soup and sandwich meal.
Reports are the chicken noodle
soup was delicious. I had the chili
and it was tasty, as well. This an-
nual event is enjoyed by all who
come. And each year, the trees, dec-
orated by organizations, busi-
nesses, and individuals, seem to
get prettier and prettier. Some out-
of-state folks were driving down
Main Street when they noticed the
sign about Christmas in Midland,
so they stopped in, enjoyed a good
bowl of soup, saw the decorated
trees and nativity scene and vis-
ited. The live nativity scene was es-
pecially nice this year with Pastor
Andy of the Open Bible Church
playing his guitar while kids from
all three churches sang different
Christmas carols. Santa made his
stop to the delight of small chil-
dren, with a chance to have their
picture taken with Santa. Rick
Reimann was there with his team
of horses and hay wagon, giving
folks of all ages a ride around town.
Winners of the tree contest were
1st Petoske Construction, 2nd
Midland Auxiliary and tying for
third was Midland Slam Dunk,
Relay for Life and Trinity
Lutheran Church. Shari (Hunt)
Estep was the winner of the beau-
tiful farm scene painting done by
Mickey Woitte. Ronnie Sammans
was the winner of the crocheted
afghan and Christine (Hunt)
Niedan won the patriotic doily,
both were made by Betty Block,
who does beautiful work. Betty
gave them as a fundraiser for the
Midland Slam Dunk, Relay for Life
team. Many thanks goes to Carol
and Roy Hunt and to all their
helpers. A lot of work and planning
goes into an event such as Christ-
mas in Midland. (A little back-
ground as to how this event came
to be, ten years ago. Carol and Lor-
raine Freeman were visiting, and
in visiting, thoughts of doing some-
thing such as Christmas in Mid-
land began to form. And from that
conversation came something that
folks enjoy each and every year.)
Santas Secret Shop at the Mid-
land School and sponsored by the
Midland Booster Club was held at
the school November 26 28. The
Booster Club gave each student
$10 Santa bucks to spend as they
wished or to add to something they
wished to get for mom and dad or
grandparents. This is something
that has been going on for some
time and the students have so
much fun looking for that special
something for someone they care
about.
Jenna Finn mentioned those
Campbell soup labels and says she
needs them no later then December
18. It takes a whole lot of labels to
get enough for education items for
the school. So, folks, save those la-
bels and either leave them at the
school or give Jenna a call.
The Midland School Christmas

7:00 p.m. There will be a chicken
noodle soup and chili supper at St.
William Catholic Church basement

Its time to close my column for
another week. In doing my column
of Christmas in Midland, the Mid-
land School Christmas program
and Christmas church services, I
couldnt help but think oh, boy, it
is that time of year. Sometimes we
get so caught up in the hustle and
bustle of Christmas, and the true
meaning of Christmas gets lost.
May we never forget why we cele-
brate Christmas. And may we hold
that reason in our hearts for all
time. Christmas cards are begin-
ning to show up in our mailbox. We
always enjoy hearing from you
folks each and every Christmas.
Have a God blessed week.

Even though we are having In-
dian summer way into December
(yep, that's what month we slipped
into this past week) the saying that
for every nice winter day, it is one
day closer to spring, surely holds
true. Carol and John Solon cele-
brated their 43rd anniversary
Wednesday and when I asked
Carol what the weather was like-
when they were married, she said
it was a beautiful warm day way
back then. John was thinking the
day he got married! It is also his
birthday! Happy birthday, John.
George Gittings and Daniel Jor-
dan were in Midland Monday on
business. Daniel spent the night.
Roxie Gittings, Kinsey and Jessica
Gittings attended the movie in
Philip Monday evening.
Tony Harty came by our house
Monday morning to give me his
news, then he visited Shirley Hair.
Phyllis Word came over for a
stretch on the inversion table Mon-
day, but didn't have time to visit.
Bill and I made a trip to Philip and
while he played cards, I was busy
making wreath, swag and garland
deliveries. The reward to me is to
get to see friends I don't see that
often when I make deliveries. It's a
poor day if you don't learn some-
thing and Kay Payne told me about
using vitamin E oil on sores,
scrapes, etc. So guess what I'm
using on Bill now. Seems to be
making his wound better. It's like
watching paint dry, and even that
is faster than getting rid of band-
ages. Meanwhile, back at the card
room, Nels Crowser was wondering
if his little sow was pregnant. Bill
remembered that in my other life I
had a sow preg tester and asked if
I still had it. Would you believe
this, not only did I still have it, I ac-
tually knew right where it was and
in the dark of the shop, laid hands
on it, the instruction book, receipt
when bought and a letter from the
company, dated 1983. We got the
battery charged and it seemed to
work, however, the instructions
were to test it on two for sure, preg-
nant sows and one for sure open
one, then test the one you won-
dered about. Nels was between a
rock and a hard spot because he
only had one sow.
Don and Vi Moody were at their
ranchette in Rapid Valley earlier in
the week for appointments and had
tree trimming done in their shel-
terbelt grove and around their
yards and finally finished up with
about four cords of wood which
they gave away to a friend. So that
cleaned up that project nicely.
Thanks to professional help.
Tuesday, Tony Harty took
Shirley Hair to get the mail and did
some other errands around town.
Later in the day, he attended visi-
tation for Polly Kujawa here in
Kadoka at the Catholic church.
Our sympathy to the Kujawa fam-
ily in their loss. We were so fortu-
nate to have known Polly.
Brad and Lynne Jorgensen vis-
ited at our home Tuesday in search
of some business calendars.
Don and Vi Moody decorated
their front yard at Rapid Valley
with a Civil Air Patrol wreath and
other lighted solar exterior decora-
tions put up the fiber optic
Christmas tree in the house which
is predecorated and glowing with
warmth and beauty and all the
neighbors seemed to get into the
spirit as well, so that was nice.
They returned Thursday to meet
with John and Jim Herber at the
ranch to line out some dam repairs.
John and Jim brought their equip-
ment for dirt moving and repaired
and built a new and improved sys-
tems for water flow and soil erosion
prevention, etc. They did this at
quite a few locations along the irri-
gation spreader system in prepara-
tion for the usual spring precipita-
tion and snow drift meltdown
which is sure to come. Don and Vi
made a quick run back up to Rapid
City for two days to finish some
other pertinent business which
kept things working in fine order at
both places. They returned to the
ranch Saturday late. Rolling stones
gather no moss!
Wednesday morning, I picked up
Cindy Wilmarth for bowling. I was
a sub for Joy Neville. After the way
I bowled, I doubt if I will have to
worry about being a sub anytime
soon. Last week, I couldn't find my
ball and shoes, it would help if you
look in the right locker. There they
were, hid in my locker! I made
some more deliveries of greenery
while Cindy did business in Philip.
I stopped by Pat Willard's apart-
ment looking for Cindy and chatted
a bit. Then I enjoyed visiting with
Dolly Blucher and checked out her
new crotchet project, beautiful lit-
tle cross book markers. She gifted
me some, so nice. Thanks, Dolly.

Arlyne and I were talking, Kyler
was "helping" with the dishes. It
sounded like he was going to need
a change of clothes after the dishes
were done!
Julian and Coreen Roseth had
Thanksgiving at their home this
year, and their son, Nick, was there
as well as Coreen's brother and sis-
ter from Hermosa. Julian Roseth
was in Pierre for two days last
week attending the Horizon's con-
ference, put on in part by South
Dakota Wheat, Inc.
Bill and Polly Bruce were busi-
ness callers in Pierre last Tuesday,
running errands and getting sup-
plies. Wednesday, their daughter,
Marcia, and her husband, Doyle
Simon, Eagle Butte, came to get
some feed from Vince Bruce. Fri-
day, Vince and Ted Schofield did
some work on the Hayes Hall, and
Vince's wife, Katie, spent the day
helping work cattle at Neal
Tolton's. Saturday, Ed Briggs
stopped by to get some parts that
Katie had brought out from town
for him. He stayed for a nice visit
and had pictures of the student's
Christmas tree hunting adventure.
Katie was in Hayes Saturday
morning to pick up the Bountiful
Baskets. Bill and Polly attended
church in Midland Saturday
evening, and Sunday was a true
day of rest at their house.
Last Thursday, Ruth Neuhauser
had a visit from her friend, Connie
Reichert, Hereford, along with
Connie's son, Ross, and grandson
Jake. The Reicherts had brought
cattle to Ft. Pierre, then they had
gone on to Highmore to pick up a
new puppy. Connie was able to join
Ruth for supper while the guys got
the pup, so there was lots of time
for visiting. Saturday, Kevin and
Mary Neuhauser were at High-
more Health to join in the festivi-
ties at the annual Christmas party.
There was a large crowd, with lots
of fun and entertainment. Monday,
Ruth had an appointment with the
audiologist in Pierre. When she re-
turned to Highmore, they were
having musical entertainment at
Highmore Health, so it was a busy
day!
Ruth Neuhauser's son-in-law,
Bunky Boger, was involved in a ve-
hicle accident near his home in
Arkansas last Friday evening.
Bunky has bruises and a few
stitches hope he feels much better
real soon!
Carmen Alleman and Shirley
Halligan went to Midland Satur-
day to attend Christmas in Mid-
land. Carmen said it was a very
nice event, and it was evident that
the folks had put a lot of work into
the decorations. There was a good
crowd on hand to have lunch and
enjoy the beautiful trees. Sunday,
Clark and Carmen were at the
capitol building in Pierre where
their granddaughter, Morgan, was
among those providing seasonal
music. Monday, Clark and Carmen
were in Ft. Pierre to attend funeral
services for Jessie (Tibbs) Keckler.
Clint and Laura Alleman were
busy Wednesday Bangs vaccinat-
ing heifers. Saturday, Laura spent
some time at Kirley Hall and then
went to Hayes to visit her parents.
Sunday, Clint, Laura and Alivya
were in Pierre to hear their niece,
Morgan, play piano at the capitol.
After the recital, they took the op-
portunity to feed the geese at Capi-
tol Lake. There are lots of geese in
Pierre now, which also equates to
lots of goose "stuff" on the side-
walks......you have to choose yours
steps carefully.
Shirley Halligan was in Rapid
City last Tuesday for a doctor's ap-
pointment, and she stayed over
and did some shopping Wednesday.
Saturday, Shirley was in Midland
for the Christmas activities there.
Marge Briggs said she hasn't
made any news this week, but she
did submit the following weather
data for November, 2012: The high
temperature for the month was 68
on the 21st, and we had three days
of 60 or above, 10 days of 50 or
above, and nine days of 40 or
below. The lowest maximum for
the month was 19 on the 11th. The
low temperature for the month was
7 on the 11th and the 26th. All the
minimum temperatures for the
month were under 40, with 23
days of 30 or below and 10 days of
20 or below. The average high for
the month was 46, and the aver-
age low was 24, giving us an aver-
age temperature of 35 for the
month.
Precipitation for the month was
.33. Normal precipitation for No-
vember is .43, leaving us .10
below normal for the month. Pre-
cipitation to date for 2012 is 10.98.
Normal is 15.88, leaving us 4.90
below normal for the year. That
equates to 69 percent of normal for
the year thus far.
Chase and Kelly Briggs and chil-
dren cut their Christmas tree last
week. Monday, Kelly had a visit
from one of her college friends and
her husband. They have been liv-
ing in Oregon, and they are moving
to Minnesota, so they took the op-
portunity to stop in for a visit.
Kelly said that Grandma Lil Briggs
is adjusting well to life at Dakota
Heritage House so glad to hear
that!
Raymond and Nancy Neuhauser
had a busy week with senior center
activities. Saturday morning,
Nancy attended a South Dakota
Cattlewomen's meeting, and Satur-
day evening Ray and Nancy at-
tended the Ag Appreciation Ban-
quet in Pierre. Sunday, Ray and
Nancy joined a group of folks head-
ing to Bowdle and Hoven. The out-
ing was planned by the senior cen-
ter, and it included a German
lunch in Bowdle, then on to Hoven
for the 125th anniversary of the
Cathedral on the Plains. Nancy
said the cathedral was spectacular,
and the concert was wonderful.
They thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Lee and Mary Briggs are in the
process of having the bathrooms in
their house remodeled. It sounds
like the contractor is making good
progress I can't wait to see the
finished project! (Our basement
bathroom could use some work
I'll have to go get some ideas!)
Kevin and Mary Neuhauser were
in Highmore Saturday for the
Christmas party at Highmore
Health, then they returned to the
ranch for the remainder of the
weekend. Monday, Kevin was in
Pierre to be with his mother at her
appointments. Their daughter,
Sarah, is in Las Vegas this week
with some of her friends from phar-
macy school, and their daughter,
Brianna, was in Sioux Falls over
the weekend to attend Vespers at
Augustana.
Gene Hudson took Judy Fos-
heim's place as the teacher's aide
at Cheyenne School last Thursday,
since Judy was under the weather.
Saturday, Dick and Gene were in
Midland to enjoy the Christmas in
Midland festivities. Gene was
amazed at the beautiful decorating
and the amount of work that went
into the event. Sunday, the Hud-
sons went to church at Deep Creek.
Monday, they were in town for doc-
tor's appointments. It sounds like
the chickens at their house are still
on strike, but Gene and the boys
are trying several different meth-
ods to remedy the situation. It is
too late for another of the old hens,
though but I'll bet she was good
in the stew pot!
Randy Neuhauser was in Philip
last Tuesday to take care of busi-
ness and attend the cattle sale.
Thursday, he joined a group at
Duane Roseth's cabin to play crib-
bage. Dylan Neuhauser was at the
ranch over the weekend helping
with some projects. Our big project
was taking down trees, and I'm so
glad we had professional help for
that job!
This week, I am grateful for the
trees around our place. We are for-
tunate that trees grow pretty well
here, and we are so lucky that
Randy's grandfather had the fore-
sight to plant the shelterbelts.
Randy's father, Raymond, also
planted some of the trees, as did
Randy. When we were first mar-
ried, we could see over the tops of
the trees to the north, but that was
a lot of years ago, and the trees are
much taller now. I especially ap-
preciate the trees when the snow is
blowing out of the northwest, and
the trees keep us sheltered here in
the yard. I've seen pictures of this
place when there were no trees it
looked almost desolate! I can un-
derstand why some of the early set-
tlers brought roots of shrubs and
trees from their homes back east.
I hope all of you are enjoying the
warmer temperatures we've been
having winter will arrive one of
these days! Go out and make it a
great week!

evening before the opening of west River deer season. 1his year's orowd was the

LouAnn Reokling, the main oook of the orew that annually provides the various

A community-wide dinner and Christmas concert were given, Sunday, December 2, at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church
in Kadoka. The mens singing group, the Haakon County Crooners, performed their own style of four-part harmony Christmas
music. We dont do holiday concerts, we do Christmas concerts, said director Marlis Doud. The Crooners then traveled
to Wall to perform in the Wall Community Hall. The next concerts for the Crooners are scheduled for 5:00 p.m. in a com-
munity wide concert at the Open Bible Church in Midland, Saturday, December 15, and at 4:00 p.m. Sunday, December

We know just how cold it can get
in the Great Plains during the win-
ter. Before the first major snowfall
of the year, its important to make
sure our families, homes and vehi-
cles are prepared for the winter
season.
Organizations like the American
Red Cross and the National
Weather Service encourage people
to have winter supply kits in vehi-
cles and at home. This kit should
include water, non-perishable food,
shovel, battery powered radio,
flashlight, warm clothing and blan-
kets, medication and emergency
contact information, among other
items. The S.D. Office of Emer-
gency Management has published
a 2012 Winter Weather Prepared-
ness Guide; visit www.oem.sd.gov.
Our family has a NOAA Weather
Radio, which alerts us of any po-
tential weather threats. The
weather radio warns of approach-
ing strong winds, severe wind chills
and blizzards. I encourage people
to be aware of weather threats,
whether through the use of a radio
like the one our family uses or
through other means.
Ensure that all vehicles are win-
terized and the gas tanks are full.
The Red Cross also encourages
homeowners to maintain heating
equipment on an annual basis.
Have the fireplace and furnace
cleaned and inspected by a profes-
sional. Many communities sponsor
coat drives where you can donate
old or extra coats.
The winter months provide
unique opportunities, but we
shouldnt forget that winter should
be taken seriously.

It was close, but Philip Area
wrestlers brought home the team
title from the Kimball/White Lake/-
Platte-Geddes Invitational Wrest-
ling Tournament last weekend in
Kimball.
The Scotties won the tournament
by two points over Wagner 245 to
243. Head coach Matt Donnelly
was pleased with how the team did,
but he said he noticed areas that
need improvement.
Donnelly noted the teams
younger wrestlers are doing well,
but they need more mat time, more
experience.
Two Philip Area wrestlers were
also given individual awards
Lane Blasius was named Out-
standing Wrestler and Paul Smi-
ley was given the Pinner Award.
Individually the wrestlers gar-
nered two first place wins, six sec-
ond place, three fifth place and one
each in the third, fourth and six
placings.

The South Dakota Game, Fish
and Parks Commission finalized
changes to fisheries regulations at
its November commission meeting,
and the rule changes went into ef-
fect December 3.
Anglers are now allowed to spear
northern pike on all inland waters
in South Dakota, except those
managed as muskie waters.
Additionally, the daily limit for
walleye on Lake Oahe has in-
creased to eight fish per day. Of the
walleye taken daily, no more than
four may be 15 inches in length or
longer, and only one of those four
may be 20 inches or longer. The
possession limit has been increased
to 24 walleye.
More information can be found in
the 2013 fishing handbook avail-
able online at http://gfp.sd.gov/fish-
ing-boating/rules-regs.aspx. The
printed version will be available
through license vendors and GFP
offices in early December. Anglers
with questions are encouraged to
contact their local Game, Fish and
Parks office.
Fisheries rule
changes add new
opportunities

City Invitational Wrestling Tour-

Tony Harty enjoyed coffee out on
Thursday, then visited at the home
of Shirley Hair.
Bill helped me out on Thursday
by dropping off greenery at the Jer-
ald Cook home, as well as catching
up to Marie Radway, all on the way
to the card room. I was busy with
some business and getting things
ready for the family over the week-
end.
John Boheman, Sioux Falls,
spent Friday night at the George
and Sandee Gittings home.
Friday, Tony Harty picked up
Shirley Hair to do some grocery
shopping and business in Kadoka
and then he had coffee out before
visiting at our house. I put Tony to
work figuring out half-measures on
a recipe and was making other
things up ahead of family arriving.
Tony attended the community play
that evening and visited with
Kathy Brown afterward.
Friday night, Ralph Fiedler
worked at the store, so Cathy went
down and sat with him to watch
the Sturgis parade of lights to-
gether. They had ring-side seats.
After he got off work, they ate sup-
per out before going home. The
weekend was spent putting up
Christmas decorations. They had
an outstanding week of beautiful
weather and Cathy etnertained a
nasty cold part of the time.
Bill made a trip to Howes Friday.
He also made a delivery to Dave
Fitzgerald, helping me get some
things done, before the card room
beconed him in. As dark settled,
folks started arriving here at our
place. First to pull up were grand-
daughter Amanda and Adam
Claflin, Sioux Falls, and Chase,
Carly and little Jaxon May, Madi-
son, and almost right behind them
was Shelley Seager, Sutton, Neb.
We enjoyed supper and watched
oldtime videos from the 90s.
John Boheman and Roxie Git-
tings returned to their homes Sat-
urday.
Saturday was a beautiful day,
with the temperature over 60. Lori
Snellgrove, Rapid City, and Brenda
Grenz, Philip, and Cori Barber,
Zack and Ryder Seager, Rapid
City, joined all the others here for
dinner. We then went to the ceme-
tery and placed Sandra in her final
resting place. "Peace I leave with
you; my peace I give to you. Let not
your hearts be troubled, neither let
them be afraid." John 14:27
We were blessed that the day
was nice and memories were
shared. The rest of the day was
spent enjoying visiting and spend-
ing time with little Ryder and see-
ing that Jaxon is getting a real per-
sonality at just five months. Lori
went back to Rapid and Zack, Cori
and Ryder spent the night with all
the rest.
Tony Harty visited L.D. and
Shirley Hair Saturday monring. He
had breakfast out and enjoyed a
visit with Don and Freddie Heck.
They were informed about the up-
coming road construction planned
for Highway 73 by a customer in
the cafe who worked for the con-
struction company that will be
doing the work. That evening, he
went to Cottonwood via Philip, to
attend game night. When he got
back in Kadoka, he visited Russ
Hattel before calling it a night.
Sunday morning following
brunch here at the house, everyone
started for their respective homes.
We went from three dogs, two little
ones and nine adults, back to just
us and the cat, home alone. The
day was a bit overcast and a breeze
out of the south, but Bill joined me
for a fly around the country, look-
ing to see what was happening.
There isn't a drop of green visible
from the air. Any planted wheat
hasn't greened up, at least enough
to see it. The air was quite smooth
and the landing was one I could be
proud of. Maybe Bill will try it
again it wasn't all that bad.
Sunday, Don and Vi Moody went
to the auction at the Fine Arts
Building in Philip for the auction of
Marie Hansens collection and wide
variety of antiques and collectibles.
Vi had fun visiting with many folks
and friends from her graduation
class of 1963, which also brought
on a pause to send thoughts and
prayers to the passing of another
classmate, Robbie Reedy, who will
be missed very much. Vi also was
so grateful to visit with her very
close friend again, Chuckie
Hansen, Marie's daughter. They
had not had a chance to visit lately
and programmed their cell phones
with new and current phone num-
bers (with Don's help)!
Our sympathy to the family of
Robbie Reedy. You are in our
thoughts and prayers.
Sandee Gittings attended Marie
Hansen's auction Sunday.
Tony Harty attended church
Sunday. There was a potluck din-
ner and the Crooners entertained.
He said the Chrismas music was
outstanding. Later in the day, he
visited L.D. and Shirley Hair, then
came by our place to give me his
news and engage in a couple of
farkel games.
Do not let what you cannot do
interfere with what you can do."

The news may be a little short as
I had a hard time finding people at
home.
Christmas is just 22 days away
as I finish writing my news today.
It will be here soon. Another year,
2013! Where do the years go? Some
say it goes by slow, but for me, it is
hard to keep up and with all the
changes and new inventions, there
are so many new electronics that
has lost most of the older genera-
tion in the fast movement of chang-
ing computers and phone systems.
I know some have kept up, but I
have to ask my 10-year-old grand-
child to help me out when I get in a
jam with them.
I can tell it is getting close to
Christmas, as I look out my back
door to the south, Bill Gottsleben
has his lights up and I can see the
big star from here. I will have to
drive down and see the rest of the
scene. I also noticed some nice
lights at Tammie Schofields at the
Jack Carstensen place. The build-
ing at Chuck and Ruth
Carstensens are all decorated too.
It is so nice to see all of these as I
drive home after dark.
Myrna Gottsleben said it is much
easier for her to get around and she
is doing much better. Her daugh-
ter, Kathy, was here to spend this
weekend with family.
Lee Schoniger and others from
Philip enjoyed dancing in Rapid
City Saturday evening.
Lees grandson, Taylor Ragland
(Marys son) who has been staying
with him and working for Mel
Smith has left to go to school in
Rapid City. Lee and Mel sure do
miss him.
Beth Smith was home Friday
evening for a short weekend, but
was busy all the time she was
home.
Lana (Smith) and family were
here from Pierre. Lana went on to
Rapid City Saturday and had lunch
with her sister, Tara, and family.
She returned to Philip and spent
more time with family. The rest of
her family were in the Kadoka area
doing some hunting and hiking.
They all returned to their home in
Pierre Sunday evening.
Beth attended the basketball
game to watch Tarin Smith, Cylver
Lurz and Cappie West play.
Mel and Beth were supper
guests at Brock and Brittany

All of the Kieth and Debbie
Smith family plan to attend the col-
lege graduation of Lincoln Smith
December 8 in Aberdeen.
A week after Lincoln graduates,
he will be moving home to join
Kieth and Tucker on the ranch.
Marvin and Vicki Eide, had
grandchildren Colby and Jensen
Fitch at their home for the week-
end. Trevor, Christa, Aven, and
Rayler took Keagan to Rapid City
to a wrestling competition. He
placed first and we were all happy
for him. Wrestling and football are
Keagans favorite sports.
Marvin and Colby played some
music while they were at Eides.
Colby played the flat top gitbox and
Marvin the piano. I went up one
evening to listen to them. Colby has
sure improved a lot since I heard
him last and he sings along too.
Trevor and Christa returned Sat-
urday night. They visited for a
while at Marvin and Vickis before
taking the kids home with them.
Get well wishes go out to Al
Brucklacher who was taken to
Rapid City for emergency surgery.
We are happy to report that he
came through the surgery very
well. The family report that, as a
result of keeping busy, he is strong

helped him a lot. He will need to re-
turn for some additional surgery
later. So we will keep you in our
prayers, Al.
Both Al and Lenore have had
some hospital visits in the past few
months and we wish them both
well.
Bill and Jayne Gottsleben and
Tara went to the Cottonwood Hall
fundraiser fun night. They re-
ported that there was a nice crowd
and everyone had a good time.
Deer season is now over and the
deer have come out of hiding once
again. They are thick on the roads,
so be careful while driving.
Be curious about everything and
everyone. Youll get tickled in the
process. I tell you, I am not going to
fret because someone is a few fries
short of a happy meal, or another
driver on the interstate does not
have all their cornflakes in a box. I
can freely forgive everyone and
move on. Learning all I can from
my own mistakes, I had better tol-
erate the mistakes of others. Un-

Grindstone News
(continued from page 10)
The South Dakota Century Club
has just received an application
from Dorothy Antritter, Water-
town, age 108, which now makes
her the oldest resident in the club.
After the recent passing of Beryl
Kapaun, who was the Century
Clubs oldest resident, friends filed
an application form to induct
Dorothy into the club.
Dorothy, the daughter and last
surviving child of Charlie and
Louise (Pfefferle) Antritter, was
born November 25, 1904, in Round
Lake, Minn. Her father emigrated
from Germany in 1885 when he
was eight; her mother at the age of
five. Dorothy remembers her fam-
ily singing German songs, some of
which Dorothy will still sing when
asked.
For six years, the Antritter fam-
ily lived in Moose Jaw,
Saskatchewan. Dorothy said that
she had to take second and third
grades twice because the United
States education system was be-
hind. But, she also noted, that
upon return to the states, she
skipped the eighth grade. She said,
I never took eighth grade!
Dorothy was on the Watertown
Arrow Basketball Team, and, when
asked if she was good, she replied,
Well, I was the tallest and wore a
size 11 shoe. They only played
against classes in their school, sen-
iors against juniors. Which meant
she played against her sister,
Ruby, who was one year older and
passed away over a year ago at 108.
Remembering her school days,
Dorothy still recalls the high school
she attended being across the
street from where she resides
today.
Dorothy worked for Alan Austin
as a legal secretary for many years
and retired in 1967. Dorothy said,
I was good! I was the highest paid
secretary in the office. My pay-
check was $50 per month. I
pounded the typewriter just like
any other secretary, but I had to do
shorthand first. She has never
used a computer, but recalled the
first time she used an electric type-
writer. It scared her to death be-
cause it went so fast and jumped
right out at her. Dorothy said, I
walked to work, back and forth
from lunch and home again, 10
blocks one way. Do you think any-
one does that today?
Dorothys family was a very
close-knit unit. When a trip was to
be taken, they all went, mom, dad,
and all three kids. Sometimes they
were even gone for months at a
time. She has traveled to every
state, with the exception of Hawaii
since she has never flown. She said,
I wish I could travel again. You
see a lot of things when you travel
by bus.
She recalled many occasions
where her dad would come home
and say, I bought a house. or I
bought a car. She speaks of her
family very fondly. Her dad and
brother decided to build the very
first housetop Christmas decora-
tion in Watertown, which had rein-
deer and, as Dorothy said it, San-
tee Claus. She said the people
would drive by, car after car after
car.
Dorothy recalled the end of
World War I. They were living in
Moosejaw, Saskatchewan and bells
and whistles started to blare out on
the streets, signifying the war was
over. People were chanting, The
war is over! The war is over!
With only a few remaining rela-
tives, she and Stanley Beal, her
younger cousin at the age of 92,
who lives in Minnesota, still corre-
spond by mail.
In her room at Jenkins Living
Center, Dorothy looked up and
said, Every morning, I wake up
and think Im still here.
The Century Club is a creation of
the South Dakota Health Care As-
sociation and has recognized over
1,000 South Dakotans since its be-
ginning in 1997. Its sponsors cre-
ated the club to recognize both the
contributions and the years of
these special individuals. The Cen-
tury Club is, as its name states, a
club. Therefore, there may be older
people in the state who have not
yet been inducted by a family mem-
ber or loved one into the Century
Club.
The Century Club is open to res-
idents of South Dakota upon the
celebration of their 100th birthday.
There are no dues, and every in-
ductee receives a specially de-
signed certificate and membership
card signed by sponsors. Once a
year, the current oldest living Cen-
tury Club member is recognized as
the Centenarian of the Year. Sub-
mit names for the Century Club by
