Representatives from the Na-
tional Park Service met with vari-
ous groups in Philip, Monday, No-
vember 19, about future planning
for a trail system in the Philip
area.
I was thinking we could put
some examples together, and you
can get a feel for what the commu-
nity might want. Then, we can
meet in about another month, said
David Thomson, program manager
for the Midwest Regions Rivers,
Trails and Conservation Assistance
program. He said that his program
works outside of parks, helping
communities with their projects.
We dont have very many grants
that come through us. We help peo-
ple find grants out there, said
Thomson.
Representatives from the city,
county, local businesses and other
Philip groups were given a brief
overview of what the rivers and
trails program has helped accom-
plish in South Dakota and other
states. The Midwest Region, based
out of Omaha, Neb., includes South
Dakota, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska and North
Dakota. Kenny Points, a rivers and
parks intern with several projects
under his belt, will stay with any
future Philip project. Thomson will
also remain involved, though to a
somewhat lesser degree.
The RTCA program is the com-
munity assistance branch of the
National Park Service. It offers
technical expertise on community-
led natural resource conservation
and outdoor recreation projects, so
communities can conserve rivers,
preserve open space and develop
trails and greenways.
Points said that assistance is
provided for one year and may be
renewed for a second year, if war-
ranted. There are experts in the re-
gion office ready to assist Philip.
Their various trail backgrounds
range from bicycling to equestrian
to water transportation. Commu-
nity goals are advanced from con-
ceptual plans to workable plans.
The program identifies potential
sources of funding, all to teach
hands-on conservation. The pro-
gram is geared to help build part-
nerships to set goals through con-
sensus.
Murdo is taking advantage of the
RTCA program with a recreational
trail around a lake south of town.
Whitewood is expanding and mak-
ing handicap friendly a current
trail around its under used, 40-acre
city park.
Philips Don Burns summarized,
Youre not really coming with
money, but with assistance. When
there is money there, we have to be
in a position for it; (youre offering)
a years worth of expertise.
Thomsen agreed, Usually we
are connecting people to grant
sources. That says a lot to the grant
people, if you are ready to be com-
mitted.
Local groups select the trails or
rivers that they would like to con-
serve. The RTCA program does not
own or manage any of the land or
projects; that is the job of the local
organization. Some communities
have created brochures connected
to their trail project, which list
local businesses and phone num-
bers, and list the areas different
festivals and events.
Before the Philip meeting, Thom-
sen and Points toured the area,
being shown some of the commu-
nitys possibilities for trail projects.
They were told of the 2015 side-
walk project up Larimar Avenue,
which will be elderly friendly. They
were shown the area that used to
be a park south of town. They were
shown the triangular piece of land
between the baseball diamonds
and the western Welcome to Philip
sign. And, they were shown the
small areas around town that could
be somehow connected, such as
Fire Hall Park, Old School Park,
Haakon County Young Womens
Kiddie Park, Lasting Legacy and
other areas.
If you get into state or federal
funds, all the limitations are laid
out, said Points. Im all for con-
necting all your hubs, your parks
and monuments.
I know that the biggest objec-
tion I ran into was the mainte-
nance issue, said Philips Tanya
McIlravy. Points said that, with
good planning, any maintenance
could be minimalized. In offering
some feel for the direction of future
plans, McIlravy added, A thing
that Horizons is going for is a front
porch gathering place.
Philips Trish Larson inquired
about the next steps, So, after the
community input, what part does
the community play? She was con-
cerned about getting everyone on
board right away, especially those
who kept up the parks or own land.
At what point do you get hold of
the landowners ... your land is in
our plan? The first place they see it
should not be in the newspaper.
The years worth of assistance
from the RTCA does not really
begin until a Philip area coalition
is represented and a list of possible
plans can be narrowed.

The Haakon School Districts
Board of Education meeting, Mon-
day, November 19, was held after
members had gathered earlier in
the afternoon with the administra-
tion for annual tour of the Philip
school buildings.
More contracts have been offi-
cially approved for winter sports.
Brad Haynes is the assistant boys
basketball coach. Deb Smith is the
yearbook advisor. Tayta West is
the junior high girls basketball
coach. Keven Morehart is the assis-
tant wrestling coach. The position
of the junior high boys basketball
coach will be formally approved
later.
The board went into executive
session to discuss personnel issues.
No action was taken.
The months substitute teacher
pay, for an equivalent of 45.5 days,
came to $3,998.98. The months
wages for the district, with a total
of 2,348.33 hours worked, came to
a total of $25,668.08.
In his secondary principals re-
port, Mike Baer announced that
November 21 was midterms for the
instructors and students. Reports
will be tabulated during the week
after Thanksgiving.
Baer listed several recent accom-
plishments. The FFA natural re-
sources team earned seventh place
in the nation. Philip High School
won the eight-school academic
challenge. There will be a sixth,
seventh and eigth grade academic
challenge in January. Matt Don-
nelly was recognized as teacher of
the year by the South Dakota Asso-
ciation for Health, Physical Educa-
tion, Recreation and Dance. Ban-
ners, plaques and team photos are
being put up in different places in
the school. The team photos will
not include only sports, but will in-
clude such groups as the FFA,
FCCLA, all school play, National
Honor Society and others. Each
photo will be replaced with the
next years group photo when that
particular season comes around.
The Department of Education
has requested input from the dis-
trict in producing a webinar, be-
cause the Haakon students scored
so well on a benchmark pretest.
The test was given to be used as a
benchmark, thus used to mark
later strived for improvements by
the students and the school. Such a
spectacular showing leaves less
room in order to show improve-
ment. Its still good news to us,
said Baer.
The new guided study hall pro-
gram had several students test out
of certain subject areas. Theres no
ramifications for not trying on the
South Dakota State Test of Educa-
tional Progress, said Baer. We
had some kids who really wanted
to get off of that (the guided study
hall).
Semester tests will be held De-
cember 19-20. Seniors will take se-
mester tests.
In his superintendents report,
Keven Morehart added that a fifth
grade, sixth grade and junior high
band and choir concert will be pre-
sented at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, No-
vember 27. A Dakota Assembly will
be held at 8:00 a.m. Thursday, No-
vember 29, with Paul Imholte per-
forming on a large variety of
stringed instruments, including
the jaw harp. The public is encour-
aged to attend both.
Board member Anita Peterson
reported on the Associated School
Boards of South Dakota. Their
goals during the upcoming legisla-
tive session will include improved
school funding, promoting common
core curriculum but with funding
behind it, supporting local control
in managing school districts, and
correcting the current direction of
school nutrition.
Concerning school lunches, Pe-
terson relayed an analogy. Take a
pound of hamburger and cut it in
half, then cut it in half again for a
quarter pound hamburger. The fed-
eral government wants to cut that
in half again, and that is what you
are feeding students so they can
learn and play sports. Peterson re-
ported that some parents, espe-
cially of football players, may have
to pay for more food themselves.
The next scheduled meeting for
the board of education will be at
6:00 p.m., Monday, December 17,
in room A-1 of the Philip High
School.

The Philip chapter of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is again
sponsoring its community Maggie Grace Angel Tree. This is Philip FCCLAs 15th
year sponsoring the Angel Tree. The tree was set up at the Haakon County Court-
house, November 26. Maggie Grace was born in 2002 to Doug and Karen
Mehlhaff, Rapid City. She died suddenly from complications of a very rare respi-
ratory bacteria. The angel tree is dedicated in Maggie's memory in the hope that
needy children in the area will be shown the spirit and love of Christmas. The
Philip FCCLA chapter, in conjunction with the local churches and the Haakon Com-
munity Health office, will distribute the donations to children in need in the Philip
area. Gifts beyond our community need will be distributed by the Jackson Com-
munity Health office and the Bennett County foster child program. Last year the
response was very generous, with nearly 300 gifts, said Brigitte Brucklacher,
Philip FCCLA advisor. We hope this years giving equals that generosity, as there
are many families and programs in need because of the economy. To donate to
the project, leave an unwrapped toy, book or new article of clothing under the
tree located next to the Extension office in the courthouse before 4:00 p.m.,
Wednesday, December 19. Gifts are for children ages infant to teenage. If you
know of a child in need in our community or would like more information, contact
Brucklacher at the Philip High School, 859-2680. Pictured are, clockwise from
lower left, Afton Burns, FCCLA Chairperson Kelsie Kroetch, Samantha Huston and

Lookin Around by Syd Iwan
Motion catches the eye. Which of
us hasnt been trailing cattle
across the prairie only to have your
attention drawn to a coyote streak-
ing away to safer quarters? Maybe
instead it was a deer or rabbit
bouncing away or a grouse flying
up right in front of you. Even if
youve never trailed cattle or been
on a horse, the same principle ap-
plies to just taking a walk or driv-
ing down the road. If something
moves, you tend to see it.
Whats more, once youve noticed
something in motion, you might
continue to gaze at it if its inter-
esting. Lots of times Ive paused to
look at deer leaping over fences.
Theyre quite graceful and enjoy-
able to watch. Rabbits playing in
the yard are similar. They often
race around playing tag, or they
might jump straight up into the air
as if scared to death which they
arent. Theyre just having fun. A
horse running full tilt is pleasing
to see as well strength and grace
all at the same time. Little calves
gamboling about in the springtime
are nifty too.
People are often fun to observe,
and sometimes I have trouble not
staring. That is supposedly impo-
lite. Have you even noticed that
young men tend to strut a bit, es-
pecially those of the cowboy per-
suasion? Dress a young fellow in
cowboy boots, spurs, jeans, cowboy
shirt and hat, and theyre apt to
strut. Other times they saunter
and act really cool. Noticing either
can bring a smile to my face.
Then you have the graceful peo-
ple. They move as if doing some
kind of slow dance. Women are a
bit better at this than men, but
some men have an easy grace as
well. I remember noticing a young
fellow shinny up a tall auger one
day. He did it quickly and effort-
lessly. I just stared in appreciation
at the strength and agility that al-
lowed him to do it.
How about watching kids on a
playground? Theyre apt to be run-
ning, jumping, chasing each other,
screaming, laughing and having
such a grand time. It helps one to
remember that its okay to have
fun from time to time. Sometimes
we forget how to do that and need
a reminder.
This is not to say that all motion
is attractive. Take slithering, for
example. Unless you are a major
fan of snakes, you might not care
for slithering. Snakes tend to creep
me out so noticing their movement
does nothing for me except to send
me running for a hoe to behead
them and stop them from moving
ever again. My moves in killing
snakes might not be that great to
examine either since they are apt
to be hard and fast and perhaps
with just a touch of loathing or
maybe a dram or two of panic.
Crab-like locomotion is some-
what disturbing too. Why cant
those that use it walk straight like
everyone else? Fluttering, of
course, can occasionally get on
your nerves such as when millers
circle repeatedly around a light or
in your face. You usually just want
to shout, Stop that! If they dont,
you may be somewhat prone to
grabbing a swatter or newspaper
and making them quit.
Some people enjoy seeing objects
travel at high speeds such as you
might find at the NASCAR races.
It doesnt do much for me, either
when seeing it or doing it. Its fine
with airplanes since they need a
certain amount of forward move-
ment to keep themselves from
dropping out of the sky. Vehicles
dont have that rationale. I recall a
few years ago when I drove 95
MPH for about 15 miles on the
freeway trying to keep up with an
ambulance containing my son and
wife. Going that fast made me de-
cidedly nervous. I wasnt used to it.
After a bit I decided Id rather get
to the hospital safely than not at
all and slowed down to more man-
ageable levels. Since then, Ive
been fairly content with the 75
MPH freeway speed limit with oc-
casional downhill bursts to 78.
Anyway, to get the full effect of
my hypothesis that motion attracts
the eye, you probably should go
outside now and sit on the porch or
deck for a bit. Id bet you will
mostly look at things that are mov-
ing such as birds in the air, vehi-
cles driving close by or in the dis-
tance, floating clouds, grass rip-
pling in the breeze, people and crit-
ters moving about, and the like.
Sometimes its fun to just sit and
watch the world go by. Give it a
try. You might like it.
Eye of an angel ... by Del Bartels
The little girl was full of joy and fear, as her father held her under
her arms and raised her high over his head. She could just reach the
top of the Christmas tree. Her arms outstretched, she lowered the cone
like robe of the antique ornament over the top branch. The girl never
forgot how the light glistened off of the porcelain angels eyes.
As years went by, she didnt realize how the two of them struggled.
Compared with two parent families, their Christmases were almost
bare. The tree itself was often a gift from a landowner who let them
cut it down. The girl loved going with her father to get it. Afterward,
the hot chocolate helped rewarm her tingling feet and numb fingers.
Gifts were mostly needed clothing, but there was always something
for her that was handmade by father. As her birthdays grew, those
gifts changed from wooden dolls and miniature furniture to a lovingly
made hope chest.
The Christmas of her last year in high school, she gracefully bal-
anced on a chair to place the trees angel. College, even with all her
hard-earned grades, savings, scholarships and loans, would be a penny
pinching trial. In exchange for everything that he could spare, her fa-
ther insisted she simply do well. She had to bum rides from classmate
friends, but she got back each Christmas to be father.
She fell in love. The wedding present from father was the Christmas
ornament angel; she cried. The couple lived so far away, but a few
years later, he could visit over Christmas and he seemed so happy that
she was expecting. He had brought her cherished dolls and miniature
furniture, each carefully resanded and repainted. A few years later,
though his hands were growing less sure and nimble, she was so proud
when he held his granddaughter up so she take her turn at being the
one to place the porcelain angel on the tree.
A son was born. Years went by. Visits from father and to fathers
place were precious. Her husband and she did well, which seemed to
cause her father to walk a bit lighter. Still, his handmade gifts for
Christmas were better than all the lavish and extravagant packages
under the tree. Her own children grew and began their own lives.
The time had come. Her father would make no more gifts. He would
no longer raise a child, nor watch anyone else raise a child, to place
the angel at the top of the Christmas tree.
She sat in the spacious living room, with so much family all around.
She joyfully handed to her children and grandchildren decorations for
them to put on the tree. Finally, only the porcelain angel remained.
Gingerly taking it, her son gently put it in the hands of his tiny daugh-
ter, who showed joy and fear at being raised so high. She stretched out
and lowered the cone like robe of the angel over the top branch.
Granddaughter, grandmother, angel ... everyone else noted how the
light glistened off of her eyes.

Dear Editor,
I was reading Blast from the
Past 84 years ago, when I came
across a line in the third paragraph
that tickled my funny bone.
The newsperson was relating
that friends had gathered to give a
newly wed couple a rousing chari-
var. Im quite sure they meant
chivaree.
Merriam Webster had no listing
for charivari. Even so, I think Id be
a little hesitant in rousing one.

Letter to
the Editor
by Del Bartels
Sonja Crowley, Joe Heimer and
their spouses stayed in Philip, No-
vember 19-21, to take in some
pheasant hunting. Dakota Ranch
Outfitters had donated a hunting
excursion to a Women Against Vio-
lence, Inc. fundraiser auction. The
Crowley party had won the one-day
pheasant trip.
Donating to a worthy cause;
hunting pheasant; visiting Philip;
all these are run-of-the-mill occur-
rences. The story of Crowley and
Heimer, though, is not a run-of-
the-mill story.
In November of 1996, Heimer, an
experienced guide, was leading
Crowley on an elk hunt just north
of Yellowstone National Park. Back
then, Crowley was from Chamber-
lain, though now lives in Rapid
City. Heimer, now from Montana,
used to live in Dupree.
Below is a brief summary of their
story that was published as a chap-
ter in the book Mark of the Grizzly
by Scott McMillion.
On the elk hunt, the two first
saw the grizzly bear from about 60
feet away. Its cubs were farther
back. Trying to back off, the two
hunters were charged by the bear.
Heimer, who was carrying his
clients rifle, got off one shot, but
the bear tackled him, knocking the
gun away and tearing into his legs.
The grizzly dropped him, and then
attacked Crowley. It grabbed her
by the head, crushing her jaw and
tearing apart her face. Crowley re-
membered hearing the teeth
crunching into her head.
Heimer staggered to the gun, but
couldnt fire because he might hit
Crowley as the bear was whipping
her body around. The bear finally
dropped Crowley and ran back to-
ward its cubs.
Heimer started giving first aid to
Crowley, wrapping his shirt
around her mangled face. She fran-
tically pointed; the grizzly was
coming back. This time, Heimer
put a round through the bears
shoulder and it dropped, but it got
up and charged again. The third,
up-close shot put it down for good.
After a year, Crowley had done
much of the recovery from her in-
juries, physical and mental. She
lost an eye, and the left side of her
face is a bit limp. Heimer recovered
more quickly, and received the
Montana Outfitters and Guides As-
sociations guide of the year award
for his actions.
Since 1996, the couples get to-
gether at least once a year. The
Philip hunting trip happened to be
on Heimers birthday. Though this
is their first real stop in Philip, We
drive through here all the time,
said Crowley. Heimer added about
their trips since 1996, We have
more fun, thats for sure.

South Dakotas rural communi-
ties have received over $458.7 mil-
lion in United States Department
of Agriculture Rural Development
funding in federal fiscal year 2012,
completed on September 30. Dur-
ing the last four years, USDA has
invested more than $1.5 billion in
South Dakota, according to Elsie
Meeks, Rural Development state
director.
The programs funds assist hous-
ing, business and community de-
velopment, water and waste water,
energy, distance learning and
telemedicine, electric and telecom-
munications. Water and waste
water funds are limited to commu-
nities of less than 10,000 popula-
tions. Housing and community fa-
cility funding is available to towns
of 20,000 population or less. Busi-
nesses and industries in communi-
ties up to 50,000 residents can get
funding through the business pro-

Reducing Wind Erosion
Seeing local crop fields that suf-
fered from wind erosion during the
high winds in late-October seems
mild compared to the dust bowl
days of the dirty thirties, recently
portrayed in the PBS documen-
tary, The Dust Bowl. If you
missed the documentary, pre-
miered November 18 and 19 on
PBS, you can download it from
iTunes, and/or read about, view
pictures and video clips on the
PBS website: http://www.pbs.org
/kenburns/dustbowl/.
The question was raised in the
documentary, and occasionally in
discussions, could it happen again?
The general feeling is, thanks to
conservation practices that have
been applied, the advent of no-till
farming practices, and other ad-
vances, certainly not to the scale
that it did in the 30s. In localized
areas, however, wind erosion can
be severe, lower soil productivity
and increase the costs of producing
crops.
Wind erosion physically re-
moves the most fertile part of the
soil (organic matter, clay, and silt).
Blowing soil can reduce seedling
survival and growth, depress crop
yields, and increase the suscepti-
bility of plants to certain types of
stress, including diseases. Wind
erosion also adversely affects peo-
ple not directly connected to the
land, by polluting the air, filling
road ditches, deteriorating water
quality, causing automobile acci-
dents, and many other problems.
Although the 2012 drought has
left few options available to farm-
ers with little or no residue on crop
fields, over the long term, there
are three main practices that have
been identified to reduce wind ero-
sion.
Reduce the wind velocity at the
soil surface. Wind speed as low as
six mph one foot above the soil sur-
face can start the movement of soil
particles with highly erodible field
conditions (smooth, bare, loose, dry
and finely granulated particles).
Wind speed increasing from 20
mph to 30 mph triples the rate of
erosion. Wind velocity at the soil
surface can be reduced with wind-
breaks, crop residue, cover crops,
surface roughness and strip crop-
ping.
Maintaining crop residue on the
soil surface and/or ridging or
roughing the soil surface will trap
moving soil particles and reduce
erosion. The smallest soil particles
can be lifted from the soil surface,
suspended, and carried many
miles before falling. Larger parti-
cles can be dislodged and moved
across the soil surface in a bounc-
ing or jumping manner, often dis-
lodging other particles from the
surface, causing a cumulative ef-
fect.
Finally, increasing the size of
soil aggregates requires a stronger
wind to move soil and cause soil
erosion. The size of soil aggregates
can be increased by using crop ro-
tations that include grasses and
legumes, growing high-residue
crops and returning the residue to
the soil, or leaving it on the soil
surface, applying manure, and re-
ducing or eliminating tillage. If
wind erosion is occurring, and/or
conditions are such that the occur-
rence seems inevitable, emergency
tillage can bring large, stable clods
to the soil surface if soil moisture
and texture allow it.

Saturday, November 17, at Som-
erset Court, we had exercises and
we received generous Somerset
Court bucks.
In the afternoon there was a
table of whist with Irene Cox, Irene
Arbach, Ina Oerlline and Floy
Olson playing. Quiddler was
played by Addie, Margaret and
Susan. M.R Hansen came for
scrabble. It was the 89th birthday
of LaVerne Wirth. Happy birthday,
LaVerne. Several staff members
gathered around and sang happy
birthday, gave her a miniature
birthday cake, a signed card and
Somerset bucks.
Somerset Court resident Agnes
Tastad received a birthday card
from my niece, Wanda and Ed
Artz. They said hello to Aunt Vi. So
hello right back.
Maxine Kilmer just brought me
a copy of The Gambler, which her
son, Mike, had just brought to her.
I had asked her if she had that
song. So I am very happy to have it.
Thank you, Maxine and Mike.
The Philip Pioneer Review for
November 15, 2012, had a big news
item about this weeks sale at
Philip Livestock Auction. Over
1,700 head of cattle were trucked in
from Montana, and the total sales
were above $3 million.
Have you read, Nothing to Eat,
by Slim Pickins? Or, Timber, by
Hugh Downs? But seriously, I
would like to read When Zachary
Beaver Came to Town by Kim-
berly Holt.
I was reading one of my 2002
journals, the time I went to Col-
orado Springs with Casey and fam-
ily. I also visited at my daughter,
Carol and Al Vogans. Al took me
over east of their place a couple
miles whree there are spectacular
rock formations. Wind there is
capricious. It rolls little rocks
around within a dish of a bigger
rock. I brought one set of these
home to Philip with me, and I sup-
pose it is there yet. I stayed a
month of so, and then Carol and Al
took me to Ogallala, Neb., and my
son, David, came with his small
airplane and took me to Philip. It
took less than two hours from
Ogallala to Philip.
Sunday, November 18, 2012, at
Somerset Court, we had a great
noon meal with ham and sweet po-
tatoes and pumpkin pie.
We played a lot of whist with dif-
ferent residents filling in as
needed. There was Ina Oerlline,
Irene Arbach, Irene Cox, Mary
Lou, Margaret and Vivian. Also an
adaption was carried on when
there were only three players, they
played clubs are trump (sometimes
called widow whist).
In the afternoon, we had nonde-
nominational church services with
Steve, Terry and Ardyce and Jack
Humke played the piano and we
sang Thanksgiving hymns, Now
Thank We All Our God and Come
Thou Fount of Every Blessing.
We should list all the things that
we are thankful for and pray for
those who are miserable. We are
very thankful to have a clean,
warm and beautiful place to live.
We are thankful that we have
earned enough money to be able to
live here or that our children can
afford to pay our rent. We forget
about the people who live under
bridges or are in prison.
Thanksgiving is a time when we
think first of all the turkey. We
have been raised that way, and in
itself, that is a delightful tradition.
But, let us be sure to share some of
our good fortune.
M.R. and Barbara Hansen had
me over for supper on Sunday
night. The occasion was a send off
for Wayne Hansen, who is going
out to California for the winter. He
joins his wife, Gwynn, at their new
house in Rancho Palos Verdes, and
of course their son and family live
nearby. Thank you, M.R. and Barb
for having me over and thanks to
Wayne for bringing me back to
Somerset Court.
It was pleasant to read in the
Rapid City Journal for November
18, 2012, about the wonderful
music program at South Dakota
School of Mines. The School of
Mines has the use of an 1859
Grand Steinway, a square grand
piano, and two other excellent pi-
anos.

Pauline Polly Kujawa__________________________
Pauline Polly Kujawa, age 89
of Kadoka, S.D., died Friday, No-
vember 23, 2012, at the Kadoka
Nursing Home.
Pauline Polly Heid was born
May 27, 1923, in Kimball, Minn.,
the second of four children born to
John and Gertrude (Bach) Heid.
She grew up and attended
Cathedral High School in St.
Cloud, Minn., and later worked as
a telephone switchboard operator
for a transportation company. As a
young lady, Polly enjoyed boating,
swimming in the lake, roller skat-
ing, playing the accordion and vio-
lin, movies and dancing.
Polly met Ed Kujawa when her
good friend, Retta (Eds sister), in-
troduced them. They were married
November 24, 1949, in Luxem-
burg, Minn. They made their way
to Kadoka when Ed worked for
J.F. Anderson Lumber Company.
They purchased the business in
1961, and renamed it to Kadoka
Lumber and Supply Company.
They operated this until 1991
when they sold the business to
their son, Jim, and his wife, Ar-
lene.
Polly not only cooked for her
family, but she was a cook at the
nursing home for many years. She
was a devoted mother who was
home for her children and at-
tended sporting events for all six of
her children.
Polly was a member of Our Lady
of Victory Catholic Church, the
Altar Society, and taught CCD
classes. She was also a member of
the American Legion Auxiliary,
PTA and helped organize blood
drives. She enjoyed sewing, bridge
club and planting flowers. For over
20 years, she walked two or more
miles every morning. And, she
made time to go to daily Mass
early in the morning before mak-
ing breakfast for her family.
Pollys husband, Ed, preceded
her in death on April 10, 2006. She
continued to make her home in
Kadoka. She moved into the
Kadoka Nursing Home on Decem-
ber 14, 2010, where she has since
resided.
Survivors include her six chil-
dren, Joanne Berheim and her
husband, Tom, of Forbes, N.D.,
Jim Kujawa and his wife, Arlene,
of Kadoka, Ken Kujawa and
Denise of Huntsville, Mo., Karen
Kujawa and her husband, Jack
Henderson, of Littleton, Colo., Rita
Endres and her husband, Scott, of
Maple Grove, Minn., and Rhonda
Schultz of Gilbert, Ariz.; 12 grand-
children; 15 great-grandchildren;
one sister, Delores Gunderson of
St. Paul, Minn.; and a host of other
relatives and friends.
In addition to her husband, Ed,
Polly was preceded in death by her
parents; one brother, Jerry Heid;
and one sister, Christine Scheeler.
Mass of Christian burial was
celebrated Wednesday, November
28, at Our Lady of Victory Catholic
Church in Kadoka, with Father
Bryan Sorensen as celebrant.
Music was provided by JoAnne
Stilwell, pianist, Mary Graup-
mann, guitarist, and Diane Hogen,
vocalist. Amazing Grace was
sung by Pollys granddaughters,
Colette Jones, Stephanie Beynon,
Trista Hedderman, Chelsea
McBride, Britni Schnabel, Abby
Endres, Jodi Leeper and Trina
Thorn.
Readers were Deontae Thorn,
Caleb Jones and Jack Henderson.
Ushers were Joe Leutenegger and
Bud Olney. Gift bearers were Pay-
ton and Aidan Hedderman.
Pallbearers were Jeremy Ku-
jawa, Nicholas Rhinehart, Chase
Endres, Chad Beynon, Matt
Berheim, Travis Thorn, B.J.
Leeper, Chase McBride and Scott
Jones.
Interment was at the Kadoka
Cemetery.
A memorial has been estab-
lished to Our Lady of Victory
Catholic Church and the Kadoka
Nursing Home.
Arrangements were with the
Rush Funeral Chapel of Kadoka.

Midland News
www.pioneer-review.com
I am sitting at my laptop com-
puter at the Ortman Hotel and not
sure just how it will go for this
weeks Midland News column. It is
funny how you get used to the com-
puter and keyboard you use each
week and when you try another its
as if you are all thumbs. I even
have a separate keyboard Im using
because not being used to typing on
a laptop I really have trouble mak-
ing my fingers work. Heard Valen-
tine, Neb., got seven inches of snow
Sunday evening. There were a few
flurries fluffing around in Canis-
tota this morning. It is that time of
the year.
Pastor Frezil Westerlund had a
meaningful message at the funeral
service of Roy Roseth Wednesday.
There was a huge crowd of family
and friends there to pay their last
respects. And as Pastor Frezil
talked of Roy being so proud of his
Norwegian heritage, how much it
meant to him, and what a legacy
those Norwegians have given us. I
couldnt help but think of our an-
cestors and the legacy they have
given us who came after. My
brother, Phil Meyers, told of his
memories of being on the Roseth
ranch, and of Roy and Clara. And
those meaningful songs sung by
Shirley Halligan, as she and her
husband, Frank, played their gui-
tars, had a message all their own.
I enjoyed meeting some of the
Olson relatives from Bristol. Roys
mother, Mary Roseth, was an
Olson. They were enjoying seeing
relatives they hadnt seen for some
time. And thats the way it is when
family come together. Roy is at
peace now. He was ready to go.
There is a feeling of loss when
someone we love dies, but there is
also comfort in knowing that per-
son is set free from what their life
had become.
Ed and Linda Eisenbraun, Rapid
City, Steve Reiman, Patrick and
Becca, Mandan, N.D., Maynard

iting.
In visiting with Maxine Jones by
phone, checking for Thanksgiving
news, she said she has been under
the weather so wasnt able to go to
the home of Bob and Verona Evans

and Verona had sent food home

and his late wife, Dorothy, lived in
a trailer house near Bob and
Verona for a number of years, and
Bob still lives in that home. Allan
and Traci headed for home Friday,
the others went home Thanksgiv-
ing evening.

City Saturday to watch as their

ers there were their daughter,
Dana and John Malferno, Brent,
Rylan and Brody, Pierre, and their
son, Damon, Sarah, and Kendall,
Colorado Springs, Colo. This all
came about thanks to Dana. She
had called to see what our plans
were for Thanksgiving. I told her of
our kids coming to our place for the
day. She then said, You should all
come to Pierre for Thanksgiving
with all of us. Told her I would
check with our kids, it was a go
with them, so called Dana, and
from there plans were made. And,
what a nice Thanksgiving it was,
one of the best we have had. Often
times a person gets so caught up in
their own immediate family, its
nice when you get together with
those other members of the family.
Nine-month-old Kendall and
seven- month-old Laura got all ex-
cited when they saw another little
people person. Just plain cute to
watch them. And, of course, we
had to get some of those family pic-
tures taken. Visiting and games of
cards were played and after most
enjoyable day, everyone headed for
home, except for Christopher,
Stephanie and Laura. They came
to our place to stay for a few days.
Stephanie had made plans with
Judy Fosheim, for Friday, giving
her a chance to meet little Laura
for the first time. As most of you
remember, John and Judy were
Stephanies host family when she
was in Midland as an exchange
student.
It is time to close my news col-
umn for this week. For those of you
whose Thanksgiving news I
missed, I hope to get it for next
weeks column. Now that Thanks-
giving is over, it is time to get at
those Christmas cards, Christmas
shopping and Christmas baking.
Wishing each of you a God blessed
week.

I started putting my news to-
gether and some news came over
the radio and said that this was
Black Friday. I wondered why they
would call such a lovely day Black
Friday. It sure was not black to me,
it was a lovely day filled with the
memory of the blessing I had on
Thursday, Thanksgiving day, when
I enjoyed a beautiful day at the
Fitch farm for a meal in their new
machine shed. My reason to be
there was that my granddaughter,
Christa, is married to Trevor Fitch.
They live on the farm across the
road from the new shed and it is re-
ally a wonderful building. I never
asked how large it is, but it is
equipped with a bathroom and a
shower. There is a wonderful space
for an office and upstairs is where
there will be a kitchen with every-
thing in it. So they can eat there
when people who are working will
have a place to sit down and eat. It
is heated and there is a two-door
refrigerator that can hold a lot of
food and it is already running.
There is also water hooked up so a
bathroom and drinking water is
available to use. They set up tables
in the front half of the building and
Christa made the prettiest table
decorations from some old vintage
jars that were about four or five
inches tall and were filled with lay-
ers of seeds from their crops har-
vested this year. On top of the jar
lids she had placed an orange can-
dle about an inch high, then she
scattered fall leaves on top of the
white tablecloths. It was so pretty.
The other half of the room was
set up with some basketball hoops
and other games for the little kids.
So both the bigger kids and the lit-
tle ones had room to play and there
were lots of kids. The youngest
child was Truett and Dani Fitch's
baby girl, WoodLynn, and Christa
and Trevors little Aven. The rest
were from that age to high school
and college aged. Several of Burjes
and Cheryls kids were home with
their children. Darrel and Anita
Peterson and Anitas mom, Mrs.
Paulson, from Wall, Lucille Peter-
son, Philip, Theodore and Laura
Kjerstad, Quinn, Cheryls sister,
Anita and Matt Sandal and family
of Quinn, and Mary Eide were all
present. Everyone brought food
and there was lots of food. But
most of the main food was fixed by
Burjes and Cheryl. Most everyone
else stayed for supper. What a
bunch of good cooks in that family.
Everything was delicious
I came early and left early so I
would be home before dark. Then I
wasnt out late and could get the
dogs settled for the night. I also
wanted to be home as Marvin and
Vicki left for Gillette, Wyo.,
Wednesday morning to spend
Thanksgiving with Carla and fam-
ily.
Marvin reported that they had a
delicious meal served at Carlas.
He said the turkey they fixed was
the best they had ever eaten. Hats
off to the cook. It sounded like they
had too much food also.
Brayden Fitch came down and
did chores for Marvin and Vicki
while they were gone. Marvin and
Vicki returned home about 8:30
Thanksgiving night.
Yes, and I started counting calo-
ries Friday. I dont want to gain
pounds, as I want to enjoy Christ-
mas dinner which is not far off.
Kieth and Debbie Smith had a
Thanksgiving supper for some of
their family, Tucker, Jess and
Logan, Cassidy, Emberlyn and
Bella, Don and Donna Olivier,
Colby Smith and Rich Smith. Fri-
day, Lincoln and his girlfriend,
Ella, came.
Friday night, Kieth and Debbie
attended the wedding of Crystal
Martinez and Neal Eisenbraun.
Saturday, Aaron and Chancie
Baenen, Lead, arrived at Debbie
and Kieths and all the family went
into Philip to Don and Donna
Oliviers for a Thanksgiving sup-
per.
Bryan and Sharon Olivier and
sons, Scott and Dianna Olivier and
Sonja and two kids were also at
Don and Donnas. The family all at-
tended the parade of lights in
Philip that evening.
Sunday evening, Debbie at-
tended the soup supper and annual
meeting at their church.
The Thorson family rented the
Legion Hall at Philip and had their
Thanksgiving celebration there. Ed
and Cleon Tangren, Jodis parents,
went along with Bob and Jodi for
the day.
Bob Thorson worked cattle Mon-
day, preg testing and fall shots.
Larry Schulz was out to help him.
Bart and Marcy Ramsey hosted
the Ramsey family for Thanksgiv-
ing, plus a few friends. All reported
that there was lots of good food and
lots of visiting during this holiday.
Herb and Hazel Sielder had
planned to be in Kansas for a
Thanksgivng family get-together.
They didnt answer the phone
when I called, so they must still be
gone.
Eileen Fitzgerald enjoyed
Thanksgiving at Dean and Jan-
ices. Their family was all home
and Eileen was so glad to get to see
them all. She reported a wonderful
day.
Al and Lenore Brucklacher went
to Tom and Marie Radways home
and joined their family for Thanks-
giving. They had the Brucklacher
family Thanksgivng dinner earlier
in November and Lenore reported
that all their family came. There
were 42 of them there. I had stated
earlier that Cain and Alex Radway
had went to the New Jersey area to
help out with the hurricane dam-
age, but they did not go. The boys
both work for the same electric
company.
When I called Norma Oldenburg
to see what they did for Thanksgiv-
ing, she said that a couple of other
ladies were tying quilts so was put
on hold for awhile. Later when I
called her back, she said that she
and Jim hosted their family for
Thanksgiving. Those who enjoyed
the day were daughter Debbie and
Newton Brown and sons, Casey
and Clay and Clays finace,
Brandie Donavon, Faith, Ross and
Janice Williams and family,
Normas sister, Irene Finck, from
the Silverleaf, Butch Wintrode and
LuAnn Johnson.
With all the wonderful Thanks-
giving Day celebrations, they
should not call Friday black. Fri-
day may be something else like
Special Friday would be more ap-
propriate. I guess the reason they
call it Black Friday is that the mer-
chants feel it will put them in the
black financially, but all it does it
put the shoppers in the red. So
maybe it is a red Friday for the
shoppers. Just kidding.
Sympathy goes out to the fami-
lies of Wanda Heeb and Roy
Roseth. Both were lifetime resi-
dents in this area and well known
by everyone their funerals were
Wednesday, November 21.
I attended the service for Wanda
and got to visit with Karen (Bowen)
Raymond. She said that she had
two daughters who both work in
Rapid City, the youngest is a regis-
tered nurse working at Sioux San.
Karen has bought a home in Rapid
City so when she retires she can be
closer to her kids and grandkids.
Karens son, Kenneth, lives in
Kadoka. I have known Wanda
since I was eight or nine years old
and she and my mom were good
friends.
The local news, that is written by
different ladies or men from a com-
munity, serves the purpose of let-
ting those who are away from the
area and those who are shut-ins
know what is happening in the
area and to know people are still
active and doing things. The re-
porters have to depend upon what
people tell them and what they see.
Now as in everything else, some-
times it is not as accurate as we
would like it to be. As in all things,
people who tell us things are seeing
it from a different point of view or
from a different place or we may
forget some detail that changes the
meaning. So when you read the
local news in a small town or big
city newspaper it is not always
exact, but we try. Those who read
the newspaper know community
members are well and enjoy read-
ing about them. In case of an error
that upsets you, please call us so
we can correct it in the next weeks
column.
The Fitch boys have been enjoy-
ing hunting here at the farm dur-
ing their vacation this week from
school.
Today, the 25th, as I finish up
my news, I hope you all had a great
Thanksgiving with family and
friends.
After I finished breakfast this
morning, I called my great-grand-
son, Brayden Fitch, to wish him a
happy 16th birthday. It reminded
me that its only four more weeks
till Christmas. My, where does the
time go.

Good morning from chilly
Kadoka. There has been snow from
the west deposited along the high-
way as it shook free from vehicles
in the last few days. A result of the
snow that came in Saturday night
and Sunday. However, here we got
only a little snow that clung to the
valleys in the roofs, but was invisi-
ble on the ground.
Along the lines of the article in
my last weeks news entitled "The
Stranger" I want to add a little
family history. A letter written by
my mom, Ruth Fairchild, dated
January 10, 1956, to Aunt Emma
and Uncle Pat Patterson in May-
wood, Ill., reads as such. "The TV
man set up a temporary set (only
tried it for about a half hour) in
Philip. The boys said it came in
pretty good, so maybe they will get
some good from a set. Next sum-
mer Rapid should add power and
more programs. Personally, Im
quite satisfied with the programs,
and Im especially satisfied that we
have only evening telecasting. We
can relax in the evenings and enjoy
the plays, without feeling our time
is being wasted." Dad, Wayne
Fairchild, added to the letter, "Hey,
By George! The more I think of Pat
catching fish small time stuff. I just
wonder how he would like to draw-
a-bead on a 350 pound buck deer?
It could be arranged Pat old boy,
think it over. The T.V. takes care of
our spare time."
Pee Wee Hook, Steve Clements,
Henry Hanson, Doug Frien, Ed
Morrison, Jessica Gittings and
Daniel helped work cattle for
George Gittings Monday. Henry,
Doug, Ed, Jessica and Daniel had
dinner also.
Monday, I was doing some sign
business. Bill made his usual trip
to Philip to the card room in the af-
ternoon and Tony Harty stopped
for a visit at our place to give me
his news before calling at the
Shirley Hair home.
Tuesday morning, I was a substi-
tute bowler. Bill asked me where
my ball and shoes were and I made
the "assumption" they were in the
locker in Philip. Never assume.
Dorothy Hansen got me set up with
a good pair of shoes, and I found a
house ball and really messed up my
handicap, by averaging 166. That
is going to be hard to keep up Im
afraid. Joyce Hicks rode home with
me after bowling. Phyllis Word
stopped over for a visit in the after-
noon. It was such a beautiful day, I
cleaned out the garage with the
leaf blower, which really works
quite well although it seemed I re-
distributed some of the dust.
Tony Harty visited at the home
of Shirley Hair after getting the
mail Tuesday and visited with his
niece, Kathy Brown, in the after-
noon.
George Gittings was in Midland
on business Wednesday.
Wednesday morning bright and
early, I was on the road to Rapid
City with the Haakon County
Prairie Transportation van. Nice
day for the trip.
Wednesday, Tony Harty did a lit-
tle business around town, enjoyed
coffee out with folks, then visited
Shirley and L.D. Hair.
Jessica Gittings and Daniel vis-
ited George and Sandee Gittings
Thursday morning. George and
Sandee spent a quiet day at home
on Thanksgiving.
Don and Vi Moody had a busy
first part of the week getting ready
to spend Thanksgiving and deco-
rate at their ranchette in Rapid
Valley. The main course for the
meal was the turkey they had won
in a drawing earlier this spring,
but they did some shopping for the
rest of the trimmings Wednesday.
In planning for leftovers, they
bought a mini freezer (an early
Black Friday special on Wednes-
day). Just in time for the holiday.
They were invited to Thanksgiving
dinner at their neighbors, but it
seemed that cooking and relaxing
at home with a 3D movie would be
the better option.
Cathy Fiedler reported a beauti-
ful first part of the week in the
Sturgis area. Thursday morning
the streets were wet with some
light rain. The sun came out later
and it was in the 40s for the day,
some snow showers through out
the day but didnt amount to any-
thing. Ralph and Cathy had a
houseful for the day with Don and
Lynette Klumb and girls, Eric and
Sherry Hanson and kids, Derek,
Renee and Jazmen Erickson, and a
friend of Caitlins from Spearfish
coming for the day. Good food, con-
versation, a game of cards, naps
and watching football was enjoyed
by all. The grandkids made out
their Christmas lists and names
were drawn among the family.
Now everyone can start their shop-
ping! Eric, Renee and Jazmen left
early afternoon to go to his family
at Lead. After pie in the evening
everyone else headed for home. The
weather had turned much colder
with the wind. But, Sherry and
Lynette took in the Black Friday
specials Thursday night in
Spearfish. It was a first time expe-
rience and they learned some
things.
Thanksgiving at our house was
quiet, but we counted our bless-
ings, which are many. I clipped an
article out of the Friday, November
23, Rapid City Journal, entitled
"South Dakotans linked to Pil-
grims." On the Sherwood side of
the family, we are descendants of
Edward Doty, a passenger on the
Mayflower and mom and aunt
Edna proved up the lineage many
years ago.
Vi Moody wrote, "Well, Thanks-
giving is over and it seems the
larger towns get more excited
about Black Friday and Cyber
Monday, but that's the way things
seem to be nowadays. I wonder if
they still think it all should take
place "Over the Hill and Through
the Woods to Grandmother's House
We Go!" Grandmother is no doubt
on her IPad, MiniPad, IPhone on a
tropical island or some other ro-
mantic island, sipping pina coladas
in the south Pacific or Western
Caribbean."
Sandee Gittings went to Rapid
City Friday afternoon after work.
The good news is she got most
everything she intended to and did-
nt have to fight any crowds.
Friday, Bill and I went to Philip
in the afternoon, he went to the
card room and I met Lee Vaughan
at the airport. We sorted the
wreaths, swags and garland to be
distributed for Civil Air Patrol. I
visited at the home of Larry,
RoseAnn and Lydia Schulz and
was gifted a Christmas tree made
with coat hangers. Love those little
trees. Jim Van Tassel gave us one
about 20 years ago, it adorns the
house all year long, a great night
light. Tony Harty stopped by our
place later in the evening after vis-
iting at the Hair home. He read the
papers and we enjoyed a couple of
farkel games.
Don and Vi Moody returned to
the ranch late Friday to find some
of Santas elves had been busy and
a fresh Christmas wreath was al-
ready at their entrance. Thank
you, Civil Air Patrol team. Don and
Vi also wanted to catch up and fi-
nalize some hay deals they started
working with, fed cattle, and put
well lids on wells and did ther
ranch things. A few deer hunters
were still out and some guys did
some coyote calling over the week-
end at the ranch as it was gorgeous
weather for travel and all to enjoy
the holiday with many many
thanks.
Jessica Gittings and Daniel were
out to see George and Sandee Git-
tings Saturday afternoon and got
some stuff. They attended the light
parade and Daniel rode out with
Roxie Gittings to spend the night.
Kinsey Gittings got back from Iowa
shortly after them.
Tony Harty visited L.D. and
Shirley Hair Saturday. L.D. was
getting ready to return to his job in
Hot Springs and Shirley was going
to stay in Kadoka.
Bright and early Saturday morn-
ing, Bill and I were on the road to
Sioux Falls for a Thanksgiving
gathering of the family. Shelley
Seager came from Sutton, Neb.,
grandson Chase May, Carly and
newest great-grandson, Jaxon,
came from Madison, granddaugh-
ter, Amanda and Adam Claflin
came from Harrisburg, and we all
met at the family home of grandson
Eric Seager for a late holiday gath-
ering. Chaciels grandpa, Alex, also
joined the group. We took along a
problem computer and Eric jumped
at the chance to help get it back on
its feet and salvaged as much infor-
mation as possible on the hard
drive. The one thing missing this
time is the email addressed, so to
get this to the paper I may have to
call and see if they actually get it.
Bill and I were overnight guests at
Erics returning home Sunday af-
ternoon after visiting at the Claflin
home. Shelley also returned home
that day.
George, Sandee, Roxie, Kinsey
and Jessica Gititngs and Daniel
had their Thanksgiving Sunday.
Daniel returned home with Jessica
in the evening.
Friendship is a blessing! Among
the many things we have in life to
be "thankful for," we hold most
dear to us also is friendship.
Vi shares her new gift with a few
quotes: "A real friend is not so
much someone you need to be seri-
ous with, as someone you feel free
to be silly with." "It takes a long
time to grow an old friend - that we
don't ever want to lose and that is
true friendship."
Cathy Fiedler wrote: the week-
end in Sturgis was cold with Sun-
day bringing in snow showers that
got everything wet. By late after-
noon, the snow stuck to everything,
accumulating about two inches of
wet snow. The sun on the new
fallen snow gave a look of a winter
wonderland in the Black Hills area.
Sunday, Tony Harty visited at
the home of Kathy Brown and Dale
Koehn and after church visited

1he 73- 3aloon's annual wild game feed was held lriday, November 9, the
evening before the opening of west River deer season. 1his year's orowd was the
largest so far, probably beoause people were hearing how good it was," said
LouAnn Reokling, the main oook of the orew that annually provides the various
dishes. 1he smorgasbord fare inoluded turkey, pheasant shish kebabs, elk oasse-
role, and other seleotions, though this year there was no turtle soup.

An evening of snacking, sampling
wines, socializing and shopping was
sponsored by Grossenburg Implement
in Philip, Tuesday, November 20.

The first ladies night held at
Grossenburg Implement in Philip,
held Tuesday, November 20, was a
success.
A relaxed come and go atmos-
phere was highlighted with wine
sampling, even a wine list. There
were cheeses from around the
world, or at least as far away as
Dublin, said Bobbi Woitte, book-
keeper.
It was a pretty enjoyable
evening, lots of ladies looking
around and enjoying themselves,
said Diane Fitch, parts depart-
ment.
Each of the seven Grossenburg
Implement sites held similar
events this year, after one of their
stores started the idea several
years ago. The only change for next
years event in Philip, might be to
hold it on some other evening than
Tuesday, because potential guests
may be too weary from a long day
at the Philip Livestock Auction.
Approximately 40 guests
browsed over merchandise while
socializing. Clothing seemed to be
real popular. Clothing and tools,
said Woitte. Door prizes included a
John Deere glass cutting board and
various bottles of wine.
It was real nice to have a few
gentlemen stop in with their wives.
It wasnt strictly ladies, said
Woitte. It was actually a lot of fun.
Actually doing something for the
ladies and getting to know the
wives was a pleasure.

recommit to being a person of high
standards and quality, one who
looks for and exposes the good in
others. Determine right now that
from now on you will be a people
builder.
In ancient Greece, Socrates was
reputed to hold knowledge in high
esteem. One day, an acquaintance
met the great philosopher and said,
Do you know what I just heard
about your friend?
Hold on a minute, Socrates
replied. Before telling me any-
thing, Id like you to pass a little
test. Its called the triple filter test."
Triple-filter test?
That's right, Socrates contin-
ued. Before you talk to me about
my friend, it might be a good idea to
take a moment and filter what
youre going to say. The first filter
is truth. Have you made absolutely
sure what you are about to tell me
is true?
No, the man said, actually I
just heard about it and ...
All right, said Socrates. So you
dont really know if its true or not.
Now lets try the second filter, the
filter of goodness. Is what you are
about to tell me about my friend
something good?
No, on the contrary.
So, Socrates continued, you
want to tell me something bad
about him, but youre not certain
its true. You may still pass the test,
though, because theres one filter
left, the filter of usefulness. Is what
you want to tell me about my friend
going to be useful to me?
No, not really.
Well, concluded Socrates, if
what you want to tell me is neither
true nor good nor even useful, why
tell it to me at all?
Just think what this world might
be like if each of us applied the
triple filter test to every thing we
are about to say.
Be a people builder
I hate to admit it, but sometimes
I can easily slip into the habit of
speaking negatively about people. I
dont like this about myself, and I
am embarrassed once I realize what
I have done, and I quickly take re-
sponsibility for my shortcoming and
try to make things right.
Everybody knows that tearing
others down, being derogatory and
spreading nasty negative things are
simply not the traits of a person of
good character and moral fiber.
Still, it often seems so much easier
for us to find the negative in other
people, but it doesnt have to be that
way.
We can learn to stop tearing oth-
ers down and become people
builders. I believe that whenever
people invest their time thinking of
healthy and positive ways to build
people, it makes it a lot harder to be
so critical of others. When we ac-
tively look for ways to say some-
thing positive to, or about someone
else, and take time to recognize peo-
ple's strengths, we are ready to ex-
pose the good we know whenever
the opportunity presents itself. And
that is people building.
When we have taken time to no-
tice the good and positive about peo-
ple, rather than the negative, it is
much easier to steer negative con-
versations in the right direction. I
often do this by saying something
like, Let's get to the good news.
and then proceed to say something
uplifting about the person who was
being bashed.
Face it. All of us are a work in
progress and none of us can say we
dont need to improve in one area or
another. And yet, dont we all want
people to think and say the best
about us anyway? Shouldnt that
make us all the more willing to look
for ways to be building others
rather than tearing them down?
I encourage you, this week, to

About 36 million Christmas trees
are sold between Thanksgiving and
Christmas. While artificial trees
enjoyed increased sales for the past
decade, those sales have stagnated
and now there is a return to having
the traditional tree, said John Ball,
South Dakota State University Ex-
tension forestry specialist.
A traditional Christmas tree is
also the environmentally friendly
way to celebrate the holidays. The
average artificial Christmas tree
has a life span of six years before it
ends up in a landfill. The tradi-
tional Christmas tree, while used
only one season, can become valu-
able mulch, a winter bird feeder or
even used as a fish habitat after
the holidays, Ball said.
Here are some tips on picking
out the perfect tree.
The way to obtain the freshest
tree is to harvest it yourself at a
choose-and-cut Christmas tree
farm, Ball said. This way you are
guaranteed a fresh tree rather
than one that may have been har-
vested several weeks earlier, he
said.
If cutting your own tree is not
possible, Ball said to use these tips
to check for freshness at a Christ-
mas tree sales lot.
First, give the tree a light but
vigorous shake. Only a few interior
needles should fall out of the tree if
it is fresh. If a pile of brown needles
appears on the ground below the
tree, particularly from the branch
tips, it is not a fresh tree.
Next, reach into a branch and
pull the needles gently through
your hand as you move out towards
the tip. The needles should bend,
not break, as your fingers run
across them and the branch should
only slightly bend.
Regardless of whether you buy a
tree from a lot or cut it yourself,
once you get the tree home, leave it
outside while you set the stand up.
Ball said the choice of a stand is
probably the most critical factor in
maintaining the freshness of the
tree once in the home. The stand
should be able to hold one-half to
one gallon of water, as the new
Christmas tree may absorb up to
this amount in the first day," Ball
said. A good rule of thumb he
shared is a tree will use one quart
of water per day for every inch
trunk diameter at the base. If you
have a tree with a three inch base,
it may use three quarts of water
per day.
Just before you bring the tree in
the house, cut the base about one
inch from the bottom. Ball said this
will open the sap filled tracheids,
the pores responsible for transport-
ing water, and allows water to be
absorbed into the tree. The base cut
does not have to be slanted; the
angle makes little difference in the
amount of water absorbed.
Once the tree is in the stand, add
water and then never let the stand
become empty. If the stand be-
comes empty for more than six
hours, the trees pores plug up.
Water uptake will then be signifi-
cantly reduced. The tree will dry
out and the needles will soon begin
to fall, he said. If the tree stand
does dry up for half a day or more
there is nothing that can be done
other than pull the tree out of the
stand and recut the base, not a
pleasant task once the lights and
ornaments are already up.
Ball also said that nothing needs
to be added to the water in the
stand to improve needle retention.
The commercial tree fresher prod-
ucts do not significantly increase
the life of the tree and the home
remedies such as aspirin, sugar,
soft drinks and vodka do not work
and may be harmful to pets that
may drink from the stand, he said.
Place the stand in a spot that re-
ceives only indirect light from the
windows and not near any heat
duct. This will reduce water loss
from the tree and prolong its fresh-
ness. Another tip to prolonging
freshness is to start out with a
clean stand. Before setting up the
tree, wash the stand out with a so-
lution of about a capful of bleach to
a cup of water, to reduce the
growth of microorganisms that
may also plug up the tree's pores,
said Ball.
Which is the best tree? Ball said
each species has its good points,
but the Fraser fir is probably one of
the favorites. The tree is very fra-
grant, has excellent needle reten-
tion and the branches are stiff
enough to hold ornaments. Balsam
fir is another good choice, though
the needles do not last as long and
Selecting the perfect Christmas tree this year
the branches are not quite as stiff.
Canaan fir, another popular fir, ap-
pears to have qualities similar to
Fraser fir and is also becoming a
popular Christmas tree," he said.
Pines are very popular with
Scotch pine probably the most pop-
ular tree in the country. It also is
very fragrant, has excellent needle
retention and the branches are
stiff.
White pine is another pine com-
monly sold at Christmas tree
stands and has a fair fragrance,
but the needle retention is not
quite as good as Scotch pine and
the branches are very flexible,
meaning heavy ornaments may fall
off, he said. White pines do have
very soft needles and if you are
going to run into the tree in the
middle of the night this is the one.
Spruces are not as popular of
Christmas trees, said Ball, prima-
rily due to their poor needle reten-
tion. If you want to have a blue
spruce as your Christmas tree, you
probably should wait until a couple
of weeks before Christmas as the
needles may only last that long.
Once the needles begin to fall, blue
spruce are about the worst tree to
have as the fallen needles are
sharp and seem to find their way
into socks and slippers, he said.
Blue spruce has the best needle
retention of the spruces, but does
not have much of a fragrance. The
branches are very stiff, however,
and can support the heaviest orna-
ments. White spruce, or Black Hills
spruce is not commonly available
though is used in the Black Hills.
It does make a nice tree, partic-
ularly when cut fresh, but it does
not have much of a fragrance and
occasionally Black Hills spruce
trees can have a slight musky
odor, he said.

School
Its one of those lifelong lessons,
to be able to get up and talk to peo-
ple. And, they had fun, said Kathy
Nelson, coach for this years oral in-
terpretation team.
The eight student team com-
peted in three practice contest
events before the district and re-
gion competitions. Their first
meets, all on Saturdays, were in
Sturgis, October 13, in Pierre, Oc-
tober 20, and at Rapid City Stevens
High School, October 27. The dis-
trict tournament was in Winner,
Monday, November 5, and regions
were Pierre, Monday, November
19.
Three students qualified, by
being judged to be in the top three
in their specific categories, to move
on to regional competition. Per-
formers had to then be in the top
three at regions to qualify for the
state competition.
Members of the readers theater
group included Brad Pfeifle, Sam
Johnson, Kaci Olivier, Deserae
Williams and TedDee Buffalo. The
piece that they performed was
Spin.
Under the heading of serious
prose, Jane Poss spent her season
working on and improving on the
piece Endings. Allison Pekron se-
lected to do On My Own, and took
it all the way to regions.
Johnson performed the humor-
ous reading of Green Eggs and
Ham by Dr. Seuss.
Philip had two duet teams, both
choosing to work with humorous
pieces. Williams and Buffalo did
Gary Trotter and He Whos Name
We Cannot Mention Due to Copy-
right Infringement. Brooke Nelson
and Olivier did My Life in
Babysitters, with which they
earned an alternate position at re-
gions.
In the poetry division, Nelson
read a collection of three cowboy
poetry pieces by Baxter Black. She
also moved on to regions.

As South Dakota families gear
up for the frenzied holiday shop-
ping season that begins for some
after Thanksgiving Day, its impor-
tant to remember the role our
small businesses play.
November 24 was Small Busi-
ness Saturday, a day to celebrate
small businesses and the impact
they have on our communities.
South Dakota is home to over
78,000 small businesses that ac-
count for almost 62 percent of the
private sector jobs in the state, ac-
cording to data from the Small
Business Administration. While
the national economy has struggled
the past few years, our economy
has grown, due in large part to the
success of small business. In fact,
South Dakota continually ranks as
the friendliest state for small busi-
nesses.
Unfortunately, many small busi-
nesses in S.D. and the nation are
facing uncertainty about our econ-
omy. Looming at years end is what
has become known as the "fiscal
cliff," a combination of across-the-
board spending cuts and tax in-
creases that economists say could
send America back into a recession.
Showing support for our states
small businesses through initia-
tives like "Small Business Satur-
day" is a great way to give South
Dakota employers a confidence
boost. I encourage South Dakotans
looking to purchase gifts to see
what their local small businesses
have to offer.
by Senator John Thune
Small business is the lifeblood of
communities. Across the state,
small businesses sponsor baseball
teams, support fine arts fundrais-
ers, contribute to development
projects and make the conscious
decision to keep their business in
our community to help stimulate
our local economies. These busi-
ness owners often treat their cus-
tomers and their employees like
family, because in small towns, en-
suring customer satisfaction is vi-
tally important to keeping their
doors open.
The economic climate has been
difficult for many small businesses.
Economic uncertainty has led to
revenue and job loss, and many
small businesses wonder how they
will weather the economic storm.
The hope for any small business
during this season is that members
of their community will first choose
to shop local for their holiday gifts.
The loyalty and patronage of cus-
tomers in small towns and in small
businesses across the state injects
money into local establishments,
helping them to lower prices and
provide a greater array of products
and services.
We must do more to provide cer-
tainty and support for our small
businesses. As the holiday season
continues, dont limit your small
business patronage to Small Busi-
ness Saturday. Support your
friends, support your community,
support small businesses by shop-
ping locally this holiday season.

with Shirley Hair.
A front page article caught my
attention in the Rapid City Journal
Monday morning. "South Dakota
looks to lure dairy farmers from
Wisconsin." You should ask former
Secretary of State Larry Gabriel
about recruitment of dairy farms.
During his tenure, several large
dairy farms came into the state.
They encountered opposition from
the locals concerning manure man-
agement, use of illegal immigrants
and zoning laws, after they were al-
ready in operation and financially
burdened. It is nice to entice those
with the money from other states
or countries to come and enjoy the
wide open spaces, but quite an-
other to place new rules and regu-
lations on that business. It is noth-
ing new. Here is what my grandfa-
ther, M.C. Sherwood had pub-
lished, July 1, 1916. "ATTEN-
TION. Have you looked up Haakon
County? Do you know what we
have to offer in BARGAIN FARM
LANDS?" Notice and consider the
following Facts: Last year we
raised some big crops. Wheat as
high as 45 bushels per acre, oats as
high as 110 bushels per acre. Corn
matured as high as 75 bushels per
acre. Speltz, barley, millett and
flax accordingly. Alfalfa three to six
tons per acre. One farmer sold $168
worth of seed per acre, but the sea-
son was generally too wet for a
good alfalfa seed crop.
This is a great dairy and cattle
country. Midland - on the P.R.C.&
N.W. Ry., shipped nearly $100,000
worth of cream last year. The ship-
ments this year are greater than
ever. During June this year, there
were shipped from Midland 15,430
gallons of cream for which our
farmers received approximately
$15,400 in cash. Do you wonder
that our farmers are getting rich
and that there has been sold this
year by our local dealers $30,000
worth of automobiles, $30,000
worth of lumber and buildng mate-
rials and that they are buying more
lands adjoining their present hold-
ings, and have bought $200,000
worth of eastern and southern cat-
tle.
We have splendid black soil, with
nutritious grasses, which fatten
stock for market without the aid of
grains; plenty of hay, water and
feed.
South Dakota is the place for
homeseeker, renter and investor,
and where the Eastern Real Estate
Man should put in his efforts for
the next twelve months. YOU
SHOULD BE HANDLING MY
LAND AT $10.00 TO $25.00 PER
ACRE. Plenty of land for coloniza-
tion and ranches
Please give me two minutes of
your time. Write for my latest list
and more information. Please do
this without fail. Let me tell you
personally of the fine opportunities
I have to offer. M. C. SHERWOOD
Member C.R.E.D.A., No. 4612; The
Real Estate Man of Midland, S.D."
As Christmas is approaching this
seems to be a good quote."Purchase
gas from the neighborhood gas sta-
tion even if it costs more. Next win-
ter when its six degrees and your
car wont start, youll be glad they
know you." This applies in all as-
pects, shop locally.

(continued from page 7)
Greetings from sunny, cool, dry
northeast Haakon County. We re-
ally can't complain about the
weather, other than the fact that
we still need moisture. It has been
mostly warmer than usual for this
time of the year, and the roads are
dry, which is a plus in my book. I've
decided to just treat each beautiful
day as a gift; after all, sunshine is
a necessity for this solar powered
gal!
I must sheepishly wish a very be-
lated happy birthday to our aunt,
Ruth Neuhauser. Her birthday is
in mid-November, and somehow I
blew right past it guess I need to
pay more attention to the date! I
was thinking of all sorts of ex-
cuses preparation for Thanksgiv-
ing, projects to accomplish here at
home, working on Christmas
gifts but in the end, there is just
no excuse for letting her special
day go unnoticed by me. One thing
is certain, I don't think Aunt Ruth
has missed my birthday since I've
known her! So happy belated birth-
day, Aunt Ruth! I'm glad you had a
great day.
Did any of you get caught up in
the Black Friday/Cyber Monday
craze that has been all over the
news? I know that some folks really
enjoy the excitement of getting a
good deal, and some folks treat
Black Friday as a social event or an
annual event with friends or fam-
ily. Personally, I treat it as some-
thing to be avoided at all costs! I
like the idea of the shopping locally
campaign, ensuring that the dol-
lars you spend get cycled through
your community. But most of all, I
hope folks will slow down a bit and
remember what we are celebrating.
It truly is a blessed season. I will
admit to taking advantage of some
of the Cyber Monday deals it was
great to be able to "shop" in my of-
fice, comparing prices in the com-
fort of my own home without run-
ning from store to store, and not
being pressured to make a quick
decision. And the best part is that
the items will be delivered to my
home, free of charge! My Cyber
Monday deals weren't gifts,
though well, I guess maybe they
were gifts for me. I'm redoing a
bedroom in our home, and I needed
some new bedding, bed frame, pil-
lows, etc. I found what I needed,
got a good price, and it will all be
delivered to my front door in four to
seven business days success!
The community gathered last
Wednesday to lay our friend and
neighbor, Roy Roseth, to rest at the
Deep Creek Cemetery. It was a
wonderful service, for a wonderful
man. We are all better for having
known him and having the oppor-
tunity to learn from his example.
Our challenge now is to be that
same sort of example for the gener-
ations who come after us.
Nels and Dorothy Paulson were
Thanksgiving guests at the home of
their friends, Dale and Myrna
Hartmann. Friday, Nels spent the
day working on his corral project,
and Dorothy went to Pierre to do
some shopping. She said the early
morning crowds had come and gone
by the time she got there, so the
stores weren't too crowded. She
came home with a case of stomach
flu, which she then shared with
Nels. The stomach upset was short
lived, and they are both feeling bet-
ter now. Saturday, Nels and
Dorothy spent some more time on
their corral project. That evening,
they had a visit from their friends,
Otis and Amber Funk, and Otis'
parents. After church Sunday, Nels
and Dorothy finished up their cor-
ral project. Dorothy said it was a
good thing they got finished! Dur-
ing the project, Dorothy stepped in
a hole and bruised her leg, and she
also got whacked on the collar bone
by a steel post she was afraid if
the project drug on much longer,
she might not make it!
Clark and Carmen Alleman were
Thanksgiving guests at the home of
their daughter and son-in-law,
Kelly and Anthony Nelson, in
Pierre.
Lola and Duane Roseth spent
Thanksgiving Day in Rapid City at
the home of Chris and Tim Rogers.
Chris is Lola's niece, the daughter
of Gay (Klima) Tollefson. All of
Duane and Lola's children were
there also. Saturday, Duane's sib-
lings gathered at Duane and Lola's
home.
Dick and Gene Hudson attended
visitation for Roy Roseth in Philip
last Tuesday, and they attended
the funeral Wednesday. After the
funeral, former neighbors, Eddie
and Bruce Buchholz, stopped for a
visit. Eddie lives in Belle Fourche,
and Bruce lives in the Denver area.
Hudson's spent Thanksgiving Day
at the home of their niece and her
husband, Lori and Tracy Konst,
near Sturgis. Friday, Dick and
Gene were in Philip to attend the
chili supper and parade of lights.
Sunday, Gene "dispatched" one
of their hens that wasn't laying
eggs, and she turned it into chicken
and dumplings. Jon and Connie
Johnson and boys were dinner
guests. (Chickens at their place
should take notice if they don't
produce, they end up in the soup
pot!) Dick and Gene attended
church Sunday afternoon, and
Gene served lunch following serv-
ices.
Billy and Arlyne Markwed at-
tended the Roy Roseth funeral
Wednesday. Wednesday evening,
their grandson, Tate Gabriel, ar-
rived from Pierre, and their daugh-
ter, Cindy, and her husband, Bruce
Bresee, arrived from Spearfish to
join Billy and Arlyne for Thanks-
giving. Thursday, Clint and Jenna
Bresee arrived from Sioux Falls.
T.J. Gabriel had planned to join the
group, but he had the flu. Tate
Gabriel returned to Pierre Thurs-
day evening, and the rest of the
group left Saturday. Quite a bit of
work was done on the cabin over
the weekend they are still hoping
to have it completed in time for
Christmas.
Jeanine Gabriel and children
traveled to Spearfish Thursday to
spend Thanksgiving with her par-
ents. They returned to the ranch
Saturday.
Jon and Connie Johnson had
company from Byron, Minn., for
several days last week. The gentle-
men were hunting deer and enjoy-
ing seeing the countryside. They
returned to their homes Thursday
afternoon. Wyatt Johnson was
home from his studies at South
Dakota State University in Brook-
ings.
Bill and Polly Bruce attended
Roy Roseth's funeral Wednesday
morning. That afternoon, they
traveled to Madison to the home of
their daughter, Vicki. Thursday,
Bill, Polly and Vicki were Thanks-
giving guests at the home of Bill
and Polly's granddaughter and her
family. Jim Bruce, Aberdeen, and
his son, Brandon, were also there.
Friday, Polly and Vicki had fun
checking out some of the neat
shops in Madison. Some of the
shops are antique shops and con-
signment shops Polly said it is
fun to browse and see what the
stuff you have at home is worth!
That evening, Bill, Polly and Vicki
were in Ramona at the home of
Vicki's friends, enjoying turkey
gumbo. Bill and Polly returned
home Saturday. They attended
church in Midland Sunday.
Vince and Katie Bruce cele-
brated Thanksgiving with his
brother, Andy, and his wife, Carla,
in Pierre.
Clint Alleman and Randy Yost
made a trip to Union Center Tues-
day morning to pick up some sup-
plies. Tuesday evening, Clint,
Laura and daughter Alivya at-
tended the prayer service in Philip
for Clint's Grandpa Roy. Wednes-
day, they attended the funeral at
Deep Creek Church. Clint and
Laura got to enjoy lots of food and
family on Thanksgiving Day. They
had Thanksgiving dinner at the

home of his sister, Kelly, and her
family in Pierre. About mid-after-
noon, they joined the Thanksgiving
celebration at the home of Laura's
parents, Randy and Joy Yost, in
Hayes. Laura's sister, Amy, came
to spend Friday night at Clint and
Laura's home. Laura has been busy
with crafting, preparing for Christ-
mas.
Max and Joyce Jones spent
Thanksgiving at the home of their
daughter and her husband, Kim
and Dave Ferries, in Onida. Other
guests were Todd and Darcy Jones
and children and Shirley and
Frank Halligan. They returned
home Thursday evening. Friends
from Utah arrived Sunday to do
some hunting, and they will be
spending several days at the Jones
place.
Marge Briggs had Thanksgiving
dinner at the home of her son, Ed
Briggs. Other guests included
Janet Briggs and her friend, Larry,
Spearfish, Ed's friend, Beth, White
River, Ed's son, Casey, Lynn
Briggs and Marge's daughter,
Jackie, and her husband, Mark,
Minnesota. Beth had a team and
wagon at Ed's place, and they
spent some time exercising the
horses, but Marge said it was a lit-
tle too cool for her to take a ride.
Jackie and Mark planned to visit
their daughters Rochelle in
Spearfish and Stephanie in North
Dakota on their way back home
to Minnesota.
Thanksgiving guests at Ron and
Helen Beckwith's home were their
daughter, Lori, Huron, Gary and
Ann Beckwith, and friends, Bruce
and Brenda, from north of Hayes.
Saturday, Rose (Beckwith) Briggs
and Cheryl (Beckwith) Ulmen and
their families came to visit. Helen
said after two large meals in just a
few days, there were quite a few
leftover mashed potatoes. So, she
was making lefse when I talked to
her Monday.
Ray and Nancy Neuhauser were
in Sioux Falls last week to cele-
brate Thanksgiving with her
daughter, Julie, and family. They
returned to Pierre Friday. Friday
evening, Nancy's granddaughter,
LaCosta, and her family from near
Valentine came to spend a few
days. Saturday, Nancy's grand-
daughter, Patti, and her husband,
Kyle, arrived, as did Nancy's
daughter, Sandi, and her family.
They all enjoyed a Thanksgiving
gathering Saturday afternoon at
the home of Nancy's granddaugh-
ter, Kayla, in Ft. Pierre. Ray and
Nancy's company returned to their
homes Sunday.
Kevin and Mary Neuhauser and
daughter Sarah attended the Roy
Roseth funeral Wednesday. Thurs-
day, Kevin and family traveled to
Highmore to share Thanksgiving
dinner with his mother, Ruth
Neuhauser. Friday, Kevin and
Mary and all three of their children
were at the ranch. Brianna and
Nick returned to Pierre Friday
evening, and Sarah traveled to
Rapid City on Saturday to take in
the parade of lights with a friend.
Sarah returned to her home in
Spearfish Sunday.
Lee and Mary Briggs attended
Roy Roseth's funeral Wednesday.
Thanksgiving Day, their daughter,
Keva, and grandson Seth, White-
wood, joined Lee and Mary for
Thanksgiving dinner. Grandson
Zane stayed home, opting to avoid
the great quantities of food. He is
an excellent wrestler, and the sea-
son is just starting he wants to be
sure he makes weight. Keva and
Seth returned to their home Thurs-
day evening. Friday, Mary accom-
panied daughter Rea and grand-
daughters, Cattibrie and Kinsey, to
Sioux Falls for an appointment and
some shopping. They returned
home Friday night. Sunday, Mary
took Lee into Pierre so he could get
a truck, and Mary and grand-
daughter Kinsey enjoyed a movie
matinee.
Chauncey Jorgensen and his
friend, Misty, and her three daugh-
ters spent from Thursday through
Sunday at his parent's home north-
west of Faith.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiv-
ing here at the ranch. Chelsea and
her fianc, Mike, arrived Wednes-
day evening. Jennifer and her hus-
band, Ross, arrived Thursday
morning, as did Scott, Corry,
Marisa and Austin. Our daughter,
Lori, wasn't able to be here for
Thanksgiving, but she'll be here for
Christmas. Thanksgiving Day was
filled with lots of food, fun, and
laughter. Friday and Saturday,
Scott and Austin helped Randy
with the chores, and Mike and Ross
did some deer hunting. The gals
and I did some crafting and lots of
visiting. Marisa and I made a gin-
gerbread house out of graham
crackers and numerous candy dec-
orations. Jennifer wanted to learn
how to can beef, so that was Satur-
day morning's project. It seemed
like the time flew by! The last of
the group left late Saturday after-
noon. One of the many good things
about having the kids stay for a few
days is that the leftovers get used
up I think I have mentioned be-
fore that turkey is not Randy's fa-
vorite meal, especially when it is
the third meal in a row!
This week, I am grateful for
some of the products that make my
life easier. Ziplock bags and disin-
fectant wipes are two of my fa-
vorites, along with those shower
cap-looking bowl covers. Of course,
I wish that I had invented these
can you imagine the revenue? But,
mostly I'm just glad that they were
invented I'm all for convenience!
Also, after several days of feeding
a houseful of family, I'm very grate-
ful for the dishwasher.
I hope you all had a wonderful
Thanksgiving and even though
Thanksgiving is over for another
year, please remember to be thank-
ful for something every day. It re-
ally does make your day go better!
Now go out and enjoy this gorgeous
late November weather! It cer-
tainly won't last forever.
