Nay these Le the hghght

o the New Year
and may they grow
wth each eLL and ow.
by Del Bartels
Im going to miss this, too, Im
sure, said Lester Les Pearson
about his retirement from being
the site manager at Dakota Mill
and Grain, Philip, after 42 years.
Pearson is retiring now because,
Im spry and healthy. Theres
things I want to do while Im
healthy; hoping I got the time to do
what I can. His time will be filled
with his nine grandchildren, hunt-
ing, riding horse, and that kind of
stuff.
Pearson first started at what was
then Tri-State Milling just to help
them out. The guys wanted to take
off some for Christmas vacation,
said Pearson. Those guys were
manager Ed Hansen and mill-
worker Barney Pfeifer. After four
months on the job, Pearson was
drafted into the United States
Army, where he spent the next two
years doing special services. Upon
returning to Philip, he continued
his job, but now it was with Hub-
bard Mill and Grain. Pfeifer moved
to Wall to be the manager at that
site, and, about three years after
Pearsons return, Hansen retired
and Pearson took over as manager
of the Philip site.
It was a lot more than I thought
it was, when I first took it. Ive
learned a lot over the years, said
Pearson.
Lesters impossible to replace:
were looking for someone to fill the
role, said Brian Hammerbeck,
area supervisor for Dakota Mill
and Grain. I dont pick on him, all
I can do is praise.
Its been good. The people are
the best part of the job. I have some
families Im working with the third
generation. You cant beat people,
said Pearson.
Pearsons wife is in favor of his
retirement. She all for it, actually.
I think shes going to stay down
there (at the drug store) so she can
get away from me once in a while,
said Pearson.

During a special luncheon, Tues-
day, December 18, Matt Donnelly,
was honored by the Philip chapter
of Modern Woodmen of America as
a hometown hero because of his
countless hours of service to the
community and school.
Donnelly, a Philip High School
instructor and coach, had previ-
ously been chosen as the 2012
Teacher of the Year by the South
Dakota Association for Health,
Physical Education, Recreation
and Dance.
In recognition of his efforts,
members of the Modern Woodmen
chapter presented Donnelly with a
certificate and awarded a $100
grant to the Community Better-
ment Committee, the charitable or-
ganization of his choice.
The event had some attendees
speak their thoughts, some with se-
rious praise and some with friendly
roasting. Superintendent Keven
Morehart said of Donnelly, A
stand up guy; a guy who teaches
kids responsibility. Theres nobody
better than Matt. Kathy Peterson,
PHS secondary secretary, said
about Mrs. Donnelly, We should
take our hats off to Linette, too.
Improving the quality of life for
our members, their families and
their communities is Modern
Woodmens mission, said Don
Haynes, local Modern Woodmen
activities coordinator. The home-
town heroes program helps us ac-
knowledge and thank volunteers
across the country for doing just
that.
Coordinated by local Modern
Woodmen members. chapters pro-
vide opportunities to connect
through social activities and volun-
teer projects.
As a tax-exempt fraternal benefit
society, Modern Woodmen sells life
insurance, annuity and investment
products, not to benefit stockhold-
ers, but to improve the quality of
life of its stakeholders members,
their families and their communi-
ties. This is accomplished through
social, charitable and volunteer ac-
tivities. Annually, Modern Wood-
men and its members provide more
than $23 million and nearly one
million volunteer hours for commu-
nity projects nationwide.

On Thursday, December 6, at the
32nd annual Ag Appreciation Ban-
quet hosted by the Ag and Natural
Resources Committee of the Rapid
City Area Chamber of Commerce,
Grady and Bernice Crew, Philip,
were honored with the Aggie of the
Year Award.
The chambers Ag and Natural
Resources Committee established
this special award in 1981, the
award was created to honor indi-
viduals who provide leadership
that has benefited the local area
agriculture community over an ex-
tended period of time.
The Crews were honored for
their lifetime of service in agricul-
ture through the operation of their
successful agri-businesses includ-
ing the Crew Crop Insurance
Agency, the Badlands Trading Post
and now the Prairie Homestead.
Grady is the fourth generation
operator of Crew Ranch, Crew Cat-
tle Company, where he and Ber-
nice now raise Angus cows and
Charolais calves and grow wheat
and corn. The Crews have been
married since 1978 and have two
children. Their son Caleb is at
home and helps run the ranch with
them and their daughter Jamie
works as communications officer
for the South Dakota Department
of Agriculture.
Grady and Bernice have both
played important roles in their
community. Grady has served as
secretary of Cenex Harvest State,
president of the White River Graz-
ing District, director on the South
Dakota Wheat Board, he was on
the Jackson County Soil Conserva-
tion District Board and president of
the Kadoka School Board. Bernice
is currently a director on the Bad-
lands Natural History Association.
More than 600 people were pres-
ent at the appreciation banquet,
where South Dakota Secretary of
Agriculture Walt Bones gave the
keynote address.

Members of the Philip chapter of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America worked after school Wednesday, De-
cember 19, collecting, sorting and distributing the donated gifts left under the community Maggie Grace Angel Tree. This
is Philip FCCLAs 15th year sponsoring the project. The angel tree is dedicated in Maggie Mehlhaffs memory in the hope
that needy children in the area will be shown the spirit and love of Christmas. Since the set up of the tree in the Haakon
County Courthouse, November 26, gifts have been piling up. The Philip FCCLA chapter, inconjunction with the local churches
and Haakon County Community Health office, have or will distribute the donations to children in need in the Philip area.
Gifts beyond our community need will be distributed by the Jackson County Community Health office and the Bennett
County foster child program. Brigitte Brucklacher, Philip FCCLA advisor, believes that the amount donated this year is equal
to, or even more, than the amount donated last year, which was over 300 gifts. Pictured are, from lower left, FCCLA Chair-
person Kelsie Kroetch, Samantha Huston, Afton Burns. Tara Cantrell and Brucklacher. Photo by Del Bartels

The Deep Creek School held their Christmas program December 19 at the Deep
Creek School, with numerous family members and friends. The students enter-
tained the audience with several skits and songs. During the song, We Wish You
a Merry Christmas, Santa Claus surprised the students with a visit and a treat
bag. The younger preschool students were awestruck when Santa called their
names and gave them each a bag of treats. Shown singing, from left, are Kori
Endres second grade, Zakry Sinkey third grade, Bobbie Jarvi third grade,
Noah Johnson fourth grade, and Dylan Endres fourth grade. Courtesy photo

Lookin Around by Syd Iwan
Beginnings are often better than
endings. Take the moon in its
cycle, for instance. It starts out as
a tiny crescent in the west just
after sunset and is really nifty
then. When I first notice it hanging
there, I often say something like,
Welcome back, Moon. Nice to see
you again. The moon doesnt
reply, of course, but I say it any-
way.
From that thin crescent, then,
this second-brightest light in the
heavens keeps on growing from
night to night until it blossoms into
a big and pretty full moon. It stays
big for a few nights although little
chunks start disappearing from it.
Then by the fourth week of the
cycle, I seldom notice it much since
it comes up so late just before
sunrise. Finally, it disappears alto-
gether for a night before being
reincarnated as a thin fellow again
in the west. To me, the beginning
of the moons cycle is great, and
things stay interesting all the way
to the halfway point. From there
on its all downhill, as they say.
The life cycle of animals can be
similar. There is nothing much
cuter than a baby animal whether
it be a calf, pony, or puppy. The
cuteness tends to win your heart.
From there, critters continue to
grow into adults when they hope-
fully will become more useful, but
probably not as attractive. After
the midpoint of their lives, just like
the moon, things start to go down-
hill until that particular life is
over. The last part can even be sad.
Humans arent much different.
If a new baby appears in the com-
munity, the ladies are strongly
drawn to it. (Men, not so much.)
The gals, though, admire it, hold it,
and thoroughly enjoy it. Seeing
that baby grow and prosper is
pleasant as well. People in their
prime are fine too, but decline has
to eventually set in if life goes on
long enough. The final days of a life
can be hard indeed and difficult to
see or deal with.
Then we come to marriages.
They usually start out with a great
deal of joy and happiness. Unfortu-
nately, in this day and age, it fre-
quently doesnt last very long.
When I used to do wedding photog-
raphy, a few times I barely got the
wedding albums delivered before
things fell apart. I shouldnt com-
plain because that meant income
from another wedding in a few
years, but the collapse is not fun to
watch. I have even had a part in
someones third wedding a few
times, but quite often the third
time is the charm and things actu-
ally hold together.
Some marriages, though, dont
go into decline, even right up to the
point where one of the partners
dies. They may even continue to
strengthen. Thats nice to see.
Faith in God can strengthen and
grow right to the end of life as well
so not everything goes into decline,
Im happy to say.
Years, however, follow the more-
normal cycle of good beginning and
strong midpoint, followed by disin-
tegration. I am always very glad to
start a new year with all the possi-
bilities of interesting happenings
ahead. Sure, it can be chilly in Jan-
uary, but at least the days are get-
ting longer and the temperatures
are getting warmer as the days
pass. By March and April were apt
to have some really nice days.
Spring, as I have probably men-
tioned many times before, is my
absolute favorite with green grass,
flowers, baby animals and so on. I
think I could live in perpetual
spring.
From there we go to the most
productive part of the year with
growing crops and all that until we
get to fall. Although fall can be re-
ally pretty with the leaves chang-
ing color and putting on a show, it
also signals the closing of the year.
November and December are the
pits as far as Im concerned with
short days, snow and cold. I some-
times think I really deserve to have
a few days of good old deep depres-
sion about then, but luckily I usu-
ally dont have time for it what
with Thanksgiving and then
Christmas. By the time I recover
from those events, here it is the
first of the year and off we go
again.
Right now, as you know, we are
perched right at the beginning of a
fresh year with all the promise of
better days to come, neat new stuff
to try out, and old pursuits to enjoy
again. Im ready for it. Lets go.
Heres wishing us all the greatest
of new years complete with exces-
sive productivity, joy and happi-
ness. May it be so. Have a very
happy New Year.

By example ... by Del Bartels
One school morning, I headed out early to attend a Fellowship of
Christian Athletes start-up meeting. My eighth grade son had said he
wanted to go, but that morning mumbled from his pillow that he
needed a little more sleep. I was upset, but mostly disappointed. I told
him that some things had to be wanted, not a forced attendance. I
walked to the school through a fresh half inch of snow, going probably
a bit faster than normal, and muttering to myself.
That first meeting went okay; this years FCA will probably grow.
As I left the school, the first class warning bell rang. Lost in thought
on if my son had made it to school on time, I somehow noticed my ear-
lier footprints in the snow. It humored me that someone had walked
beside them, seemingly on purpose, rather than in them or wander-
ingly over them. The second prints were nearly my size, and had
matched me step by step, inch per inch. Then, because of the direction
of their origin and lack of too many other prints, I wondered if they
could be my sons. If so, when had he grown to be almost my shoe size?
Since when could he match my stride, especially when I had been upset
and in a hurry?
As I neared my house, yes, the second set of footprints were his.
Well before reaching my door, I stopped dead. When I wasnt with
him, he had matched me step by step! What other things was he match-
ing me in? I had been upset, had he? Walking may be trivial, but other
things, such as being upset, are not. I grew fearful of those other things.
Had I given the impression that I had to, rather than wanted to, go
to that FCA meeting? When was the last time I raised my voice? Have
I spoken or even implied complaints about others? Do I grumble about
chores and other responsibilities? Do I start my days with a smile or a
frown, thus showing my attitude for the rest of the day? Are my si-
lences because of brooding, or something more pleasant? Do I prefer to
talk about friends and events around me, or some sitcom on television?
Who is at fault; the writer of the traffic ticket or the person who caused
it to have to be written?
He matches me! Is that really a good thing? That was a very sober-
ing, and unsettling, thought. Will he continue to match me? Will he
someday improve upon my stride? Some people say that they dont
want to be role models, but their footprints are left in the snow for all
to see. I would think every father wants his children to be like him, but
is that a blessing or a curse? Some kids turn out great because of their
parents, while some turn out great despite their parents.
A new year will soon begin. New snows will fall, and I will put new
footprints in that snow. I pray that their direction and pace are worthy
of others, be it with others walking beside me at the time, or in later
following my lead.

The members of the Philip Garden Club celebrated its third year during their Christmas party this year at Rock'n Roll Lanes,
Saturday, December 15. After a meal and desserts, there was a gift exchange. The club's membership continues to keep
growing and local folks are always invited to join in at any meeting or outing, said Elke Baxter. Shown, back row, from left:

The United States Department
of Agriculture announced recently
that they will be lifting the previ-
ously imposed limits on how much
protein and grains could be served
to students in one week.
The latest modifications will be
set in place for the rest of the 2012-
2013 school year, explained Ann
Schwader, South Dakota State
University Extension nutrition
field specialist.
These changes are positive and
show that the USDA is willing to
work with nutrition officials and
others who have concerns related
to the new standards, Schwader
said.
The original changes to the
school lunch standards were an-
nounced January 2012, due to the
national Healthy, Hunger Free
Kids Act (Public Law 111-296) that
determined how much of certain
food groups could be served, set
limits on calories and salt and
phased in whole grains.
Schwader said the move to cre-
ate stricter guidelines was moti-
vated by the fact that the obesity
rates among school children are
growing and steps were needed to
reverse the trend.
These guidelines aligned school
meals with the latest nutrition sci-
ence, based on recommendations of
nutrition experts and the 2010 Di-
etary Guidelines for Americans nu-
trition recommendations, she said.
The new school meal patterns meet
specific calorie ranges for children
in grades kindergarten through
five (650 calories), sixth through
eigth (700 calories), and nine
through 12th (850 calories).
The intention of the new school
lunch guidelines is to ensure that
almost all children receive at least
one-third of their daily nutritional
and energy needs, Schwader said.
The latest modifications are
being provided to allow schools
more weekly planning options to
ensure that children receive a nu-
tritious meal every day of the week.
According to the revisions, the stu-
dents can eat as many grains and
proteins as they want, as long as
they are eating the allotted amount
of calories put forth by the USDA.
SDSU Extension recommends
that parents assist their children
with the changes to the school
lunch standards.
Parents can make sure their
youth eats a nutritious breakfast
and encourage them to take and
eat the fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, lean proteins and low-fat
milk offered in school meals," she
said.
School meals add more grains/proteins
The inherent and dynamic qual-
ities of soil were in the spotlight at
the Soil Health Information Day
held December 11 in Mitchell. The
event attracted over 230 people to
hear regional and national agricul-
ture and natural resources speak-
ers.
Ruth Beck, South Dakota State
University Extension agronomy
field specialist, Pierre, said One
goal with the event was to help
people learn ways to manage soil
that improve the soil function. Al-
though we cant change the inher-
ent qualities of the soil in our
yards, fields and pastures, we can
make management choices that af-
fect the amount of organic matter,
structure, depth, water and nutri-
ent-holding capacity the indica-
tors of the health of a soil.
While the physical and chemical
properties of soil have long been a
main factor for land use planning,
we are now getting an understand-
ing of the biology happening be-
neath our feet, said Colette
Kessler, public affairs specialist
with the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service, Pierre.
Thanks to technology advances in
microscopes and other equipment,
our understanding of the science of
soil, biology in particular, has
grown more in the last three years
than the last 30, she explained.
Two Alpena area farmers were
enlisted to kick off the day demon-
strating water infiltration with
Ray Archuleta, conservation agron-
omist, from the NRCS East Na-
tional Technical Center, Greens-
boro, NC. Look at this ... it isnt a
problem of run-off; we have an in-
filtration problem, said Archuleta
as the audience watched him work
through the soil experiment. Ray
the Soil Guy got to the root of
everyones questions with his pres-
entation Healthy Soils Make
Healthy Profits. Archuleta is pas-
sionate about soil health and his
passion is infectious. He special-
izes in soil biology/ecology and di-
versity approaches for agro- ecosys-
tem sustainability. Understand-
ing the biology the microbes in
the soil is the next step for farmers
and ranchers, said Archuleta.
Every operation is unique. He out-
lined how to use above-ground
management, such as crop rota-
tions, cover crops, and reducing
tillage as tools to manipulate the
soil biology for a more sustainable
system.
A healthy soil is not compacted.
It has structure with macro pores
that allow water to infiltrate down
into the profile, Archuleta ex-
plained earlier. When I pick up a
shovelful of soil, it should look like
cottage cheese. Jim Hoorman,
Ohio State University, outlined
their university research findings
and the economics of using mixes of
cover crops to improve the problem
of compacted soils. Mixtures are
better for addressing compaction
than using a single cover crop
species. Hoorman explained that
disturbances, like tillage, can de-
stroy pore structure in a soil.
Healthy soil regulates water
well, explained Paul Jasa, Exten-
sion Engineer, University of Ne-
braska-Lincoln. Soil and residue
management helps control where
rain, snowmelt and irrigation
water goes. Field after field, he
says, Residue drives the crop.
Buffers are good, but are a band-
aid; fix the soil in the field with
residue and keep your water, says
Jasa. Go out with a spade and see
for yourself how your soil is han-
dling water.
Internationally known Dr.
Dwayne Beck, Manager, SDSU
Dakota Lakes Research Farm near
Pierre, encourages producers to
mimic nature, Ive learned more
from observing nature than trying
to change it. Crop residue helps
improve the soils balance of nutri-
ents like nitrogen and phosphorus.
Becks presentation outlined Catch
and Release Nutrients and work-
ing with natural cycles to maxi-
mize crop production. Plant roots
are hot spots for biological activi-
ties like nutrient cycling and soil
aggregate stability, said Beck.
A common theme recommended
throughout the day was for people
to get out with a shovel. If we dig
a little, we can learn a lot, says
Kessler, We can better understand
how healthy soil should look and
smell, and how healthy soil should
feel in our hands. By the year
2050, Earths population is ex-
pected to reach 9 billion. Keeping
every inch of our soil healthy will
be essential as farmers and ranch-
ers work to produce as much food
and fiber in the next 40 years as
they have in the last 500.

a mile west of Skieview. About 100
Indians in camp. All kinds and
ages. Saw war dance. Talked to
Rosa Red Horse and saw Eagle
Bear in paint and feathers.
July 6 Day opened with huge
black clouds everywhere. At 1:30
p.m. a terrific storm came up from
the northwest and for 15 minutes a
perfect avalanche of hail stones the
size of bullets fell driven by a 60

and garden truck badly cut up.
Went over to Dibbles in p.m. and

ning full. Put in a few telephone
poles. In p.m. helped Dibble lower
his ceiling and put a floor in attic.
Mail today but didnt go after it.
July 9 Dibble went to Leslie
and I took the mare Kate to Tad-
dikens stud supposed to be in foal.
Fearful thunderstorm broke at 6
p.m. with heavy rain.
July 10 Day opened sullen and
threatening. At one p.m. another
fearful rain storm with hail fell. No
damage. Ground is soaked.
Streams running over. Good for
crops which are recovering nicely
from first hail storm.
July 11 Awful fog at dawn. Dug
holes for telephone poles and set

ternoon and I worked all afternoon
connecting telephone. Got it so we
could talk over it some by evening.
July 17 Connected up tele-
phone in morning. Viola at
Skieview end of the line and me at
Dibbles. She got her phone working
to perfection and I could hear her
plain. System now works to perfec-
tion. Finished tamping in some
posts before noon and in afternoon
went haying and hauled in three
monster loads almost 3 tons. New
crop of mosquitoes on as bad nearly
as they were in June.
July 18 Four months on our
claim to day. Stacked some hay in
forenoon and cut hay in the after-
noon. Mosquitoes around by the
millions. Very annoying.
July 19 Nice day but very hot.
Began shocking hay at 9 a.m. and
shocked until 6 p.m. Got mail today
and a letter from John. Mosquitoes
positively a fright. Telephone up
and working fine. Met Mr. Gilbert

Friday, December 14, at Somer-
set Court, we had wheel of fortune
as our activity. Each team playing
won big Somerset bucks. Thanks to
Susan and Sandy who set up the
puzzles and passed around the
spinner.
Marge Self, Marilyn Butts and
Vivian Hansen worked in a little
pool before the music program.
We were entertained with music
in the afternoon by Skeeter Boyer
playing his guitar and Tracy
Heeter on the banjo. I love the mel-
low guitar and the twang of the
banjo. Their amps were pleasant.
Thanks Skeeter and Heeter and
thanks Somerset Court for provid-
ing this entertainment.
Such a good bunch of mail with
pretty cards from Leonard and
Jean Meyer, Chuck Allen and Etta
Erdmann, and a year-end letter
from Carol and Al Vogan with pho-
tos to illustrate the years activi-
ties. There was also a box of those
wonderful Sees chocolates from
Wayne and Gwynn Hansen. Thank
you all.
Somerset Court dress-up days
included crazy sock day, December
17, Santa hat or antler day, 18th,
Christmas shirt, 19th, Christmas
tie, 20th, red and green flannel pa-
jamas, 24th.
Saturday, December 15, we had
exercises with mystery Somerset
bucks. In the afternoon, we had
painting with Susan. We used wa-
tercolors and crayons and painted
wooden forms of houses, cupcakes,
trees and other Christmas-y
shapes. It was fun and they are
cute. I got there late, so maybe I
did not see all who painted. But I
saw Eileen, Mary Lou and Mar-
cella. I wrote Christmas cards to
Thelma Heltzel and to Chuck Allen
and Etta Erdmann. There was a
nice note to Emery Gibson.
Thanks. In the mail there was a
package from my niece, Wanda and
Ed Artz. Wanda had knit me some
big, long, warm wool socks. Thank
you, Wanda. And there was a
pretty long strip of black lace with
a gold border. Not sure what to do
with that, but it is pretty, and
thank you. Wanda also sent some
cookies and M.R. liked them, so I
sent the rest home with him.
Wilma Keenes daughter from
Hot Springs, Pat Schetens, was vis-
iting at Somerset Court Saturday.
Mildred Kraemer and daughter
were making and baking dozens of
Christmas cookies.
Florabelle Powell had company
at breakfast, her grandson and his
daughter.
Floy Olson had company at
lunch, her son, Allen, was here.
On third floor, Irene Arbach has
a wonderful new purple poinsettia!
Irene Cox next door to Irene Ar-
bach, has a charming arrangement
of red roses and red carnations
with assorted greenery.
As we go past Maxine Kilmers
door, we hear some quiet Christ-
mas music from her piano.
Bernadine (Bernie) James has
moved to Ft. Collins, Colo., where
her son lives.
M.R. Hansen came over for
scrabble. Later, Mary Lou and I
played bananagrams until almost
supper time. The Somerset Court
bus trip to Story Book Island was
cancelled on account of cold
weather, and Father Dahms was
sick, and there were only Connie,
Fr. Dahms and me signed up to go
anyway. Besides, Shawn had hurt
her leg and some other spots at a
store parking lot.
Sunday morning, Eileen Tenold
played Christmas hymns on the
piano and I sang along. She sings
high and I sing low. Sunday, De-
cember 16, we had an elegant Sun-
day noontime meal of baked Vir-
ginia ham, scalloped potatoes, and
tiny carrots. Dessert was some sort
of pie.
Irene Cox had company at lunch,
her granddaughter and three
great-grands, Hayley, Macey and
Sydnie. They live out in the Black
Hills. Marilyn Butts went to the
grand concert, A South Dakota
Acoustic Christmas, at the old
high school at the foot of sixth
street Saturday evening. It was a
fund raiser for Youth and Family
Services.
Sunday afternoon, we had non-
denominational church services
with Steve, Terry and Addie Pulse
and Jack Humke. A prayer was of-
fered for the recent tragedy of the
shooting in Newtown, Conn. We
sang several advent hymns with
Jack Humke at the piano. Terry re-
called that he had mentioned two
weeks ago that God had set up His
plan, hundreds of years before the
birth of Christ. Moved kings and
countries, and languages so that all
came to pass. Terry said that the
Greek language is the supreme
language. We are so ignorant, hav-
ing to make do with English. (And
our adaptations of English.)
Sunday afternoon, Sande Lof-
berg and her piano and guitar
pupils presented us with an excel-
lent recitation at Somerset Court.
There was a good crowd. My son,
M.R. Hansen attended. Sande
played White Christmas. Jamie
Iwan, piano, Do You Hear What I
Hear? and Go Tell It on the
Mountain with wonderfully pre-
cise delivery. Asia Sletten, piano,
We Wish You a Merry Christmas,
and a duet with Sande, We Three
Kings, with lilting, nice strokes.
McKayla Stratmeyer, guitar,
Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Rein-
deer, and Rockin Around the
Christmas Tree. Guitar duet with
excellent harmony, just enough
zing and Silent Night on the
piano.
Brittney Stratmeyer, Up On the
Housetop. Duet with McKayla,
Away in a Manger and Santa
Claus is Coming to Town.
A guitar duet with Alec Daniel,
First Noel, and What Child is
This? Quinn Daniel, Rudolph the
Red-Nosed Reindeer and Go Tell
it on the Mountain. Nice work,
played in the key of D.
Kennedy Hauge, Drummer
Boy. Piano with awards for accom-
plishments. Several others had
their achievements read and
awards given.
Isabella Glass, piano, O Come
All Ye Faithful and Away in a
Manger in a calm mode. Isabella
is a student of only six weeks and
shows much promise. Quentin
Glass, piano, Holly Jolly Christ-
mas and Jesu, Joy of Mans De-
siring. With polished delivery.
Victoria Lundy, piano, Do You
Hear What I Hear? and Angels
We Have Heard on High. A com-
manding performance.
The grand finale was Jingle
Bells with piano and bells.
Thank you for coming to play for
us. Thank you to our activity direc-
tors for providing seating and re-
freshments.
Monday morning, we decided to
have goodies in the activity garden
instead of going on a bus trip to the
doughnut shop. Sandi and Shawn
brought an assortment of our fa-
vorites and gave us hot coffee too.
It was a pleasant party. Thanks
girls. Jim and Eleanor Holmes had
company at breakfast, their son,
Bob, Rapid City. We have a poster
that said that the Monette family
will treat the Somerset Court resi-
dents to pizza on Tuesday, Decem-
ber 18. Thanks, what a nice treat.
Somerset Court resident Ken Mon-
ette has written two new poems.
They are gentle reminiscences.
They can be read in the Somerset
Court scrapbook on the coffee table
by the fireplace.
Monday afternoon, Gary driving
and Sandy in charge of passengers,
gave a bus tour to a new store. I
went along to see the new, neat
one-piece concrete floor. It was cut
into eight foot squares and some
areas, like under the clothing dis-
plays, are surfaced with wood floor-
ing. We had a fine time. I bought a
nice ripe avacado. I even found
some items made in the U.S.A.
from Atlanta, Ga., and Pennsylva-
nia. Well anyway, nice to see that.
We got back to Somerset Court in
time to see the end of the movie,
White Christmas, starring Bing
Crosbie, Danny Kaye, Vera Ellen
and Rosemary Clooney.
Thank you to my grandson,
Michael Hansen, his wife, Chris-
tine, and children, Owen and Ella
(going on four), Rancho Palos
Verdes, Calif., for your lovely photo
collage Christmas card.
Thank you also your pretty
Christmas card, Edith Drew and
her daughter, Sandra, Sioux Falls.
They were our neighbors in Philip
in the 1950s.
Tuesday, December 18, at Som-
erset Court, we had the activity of
ring the reindeer that was won by
Fred Smith.
In the afternoon, we had bingo
with the big birthday bash after
bingo. There was a big chocolate
cake decorated in red and green
and baked by P.J. and ice cream.
We took a photo. Jack Humke led
us in singing, Happy Birthday,
God Bless You. John of kitchen
fame had a Santa hat that bobbed
like a spring. Got a photo of him,
too. Connie had the most amusing
hat on hat day. It wa a big, thick
snowman. I took a photo.
Thank you, Karen Meyer, my sis-
ters granddaughter, for the pretty
Christmas card with the nativity
scene. Thank you, Vinnie and
Danny, for your wise card of pho-
tos. Vinnie and Danny learned
from their cat to keep calm and
comfy.
The Rapid City Journal reported
that local bird watchers spotted 61
different species in a recent bird
county, among them a hooded mer-
ganser, a sharp-tailed grouse, a
male belted kingfisher and red-
breased nuthatch.
At 5:00 p.m. at Somerset Court,
we all went down to the dining
room for the Monette family pizza
party. There were many varieties
for residents and staff to enjoy.
Thank you to the Monette family.
Ryan Love, our director, thanked
them with a nice speech and also
read one of Ken Monettes recent
poems, entitled The Visitor. It
was sweet and sentimental about
how much we appreciate visitors
from our past so we can reminisce.
I hope to include his three poems
on these pages soon.
Wednesday, December 19, we
had resident gift exchange for en-
tertainment in the afternoon.
Many lovely gifts were unwrapped
and a social time with refresh-
ments was enjoyed.
In the evening, carolers from the
Lutheran church came to Somerset
Court and sang in the front lobby
to us. Thank you, your music was
lovely.
My great-granddaughter, Mi-
randa Littlefield, announced her
wedding to T.J. Rose on May 8,
2013, at Bozeman, Mont. Best
wishes to the young couple.
Thank you to Kenneth and Mary
Hansen, Wall, for your pretty
Christmas card. Thank you to my
niece, Wanda, and her husband, Ed
Artz, Humboldt, for your pretty
card and year end letter. Again, I
will remind you all to please put
your address on your card, so I can
throw away the envelopes. That
cuts down on the bulk of stored
Christmas cards. Over the years,
they can be measured in cubic feet!
Thanks to Ravellette Publications,
Philip, for your kind greeting.
December 21, at Somerset Court,
residents were entertained by a
group from the Wild Kingdom pre-
school and kindergarten bunch
who sang and pantomimed for us.
Thank you for your songs and also
for the very nice treats you
brought. Dutch and Billie Stevens
are parents of one of the teachers.
We had a rerun of White Christ-
mas and it was even better than
on Monday. Thanks to Jason who
got my TV working so I could
watch Monk Reruns on Friday
evening.
The mail was loaded, a photo cal-
endar from my grandson, Mike,
and wife Christine and twins,
Owen and Ella, who are going on
four. Thank you kids.
Philip nieghbor, Dalene Baye,
sent a nice note and a bunch of for-
ever stamps. Thanks, Darlene. Rita
and Glen OConnell, near neigh-
bors when I lived in Philip, sent
their Christmas letter. Thank you,
Glen and Rita. They have moved to
a new house out southwest of
Philip, as near as I can figure out.
I wonder who will live in their old
house? The staff at the bank sent
a nice card signed by a few employ-
ees. Thanks, beats keeping all my
money under the mattress.
My son, Hans P. Hansen,
painted a Merry Christmas to Vi-
vian and neighbors. Thank you
Sunday, December 23, at Somer-
set Court, we had non-denomina-
tional church services with Rev.
Richardson. Jack Humke played
the piano for some Christmas
hymn singing. Rev. Richardson had
an adventure last week, a car ran
into his car. If he had not had a
quick inkling, (message from
above) to accelerate, he would have
been injured much worse. As it
was, the car hit his car behind the
drivers seat. So he was thankful,
and felt that he had had divine in-
terference. Remember, God is with
us. Rev. Richardson reminds us to
beware of rushing around shop-
ping. Relax, remember that we ar
celebrating the birth of Christ.
My granddaughter, Holly
(Hansen) Maudsley, and son
Asher, Woodbury, Minn., are visit-
ing in Rapid City. Holly, Asher and
M.R., Barbara and Willow Hansen
joined Vivian Hansen for lunch
Sunday. Thank you for your visit
and for your photos.
My son, David, Ft. Pierre, and
Cecelia, his two-year-old grand-
daughter, came to visit at Somerset
Court. Davids wife, Janet, had
made me a beautiful white angel
tree topper, solidly machine em-
broidered. Thank you.
Wilma Keene, Somerset Court
resident, planned to spend Christ-
mas at Hot Springs with her
daughter and family.
Whist was the entertainment
Sunday afternoon. Irene Cox and
Irene Arbach stood off Margaret
Jacobs and Ina Oerlline.
West Central Electrics January
2013 Cooperative Connections re-
meinds us that just because elec-
tricity is so cheap and so easy to
use, we should not waste it. We
should use it economically. Con-
sider off-peak usage of high watt
users such as dishwashers and dry-
ers. Consider a reasonable amount
of Christmas lighting. Turn off the
lights. Close the refrigerator door.

and Charlotte Hall, both of Mid-
land; one son, Richard (Arlette)

Delbert Sebade__________________
Delbert Sebade, age 95, of Wall,
S.D., died Sunday, December 23,
2012, at his home in Wall.
Delbert James Sebade was born
on September 16, 1917, on Bull
Creek, west of Wall, the son of
Henry and Anna (Mooney) Sebade.
He attended school in Wall, grad-
uating from Wall High School in
1935. After high school he moved
to Chillicothe, Mo., where he re-
ceived training at a business
school.
After traveling to Nebraska with
a piston out of their 35 Plymouth,
Delbert and his soon-to-be wife,
Armista Ronning, stopped and
picked up a marriage license. After
adding one year on to her age, and
two marriage licenses later, Del-
bert and Armista were married on
November 15, 1941. To this union
were born four children, Sandra,
Norbert, Rosalind and Marsha.
Since 1963 they have made their
home in Wall.
Delbert had a lifetime of work in

Friday and just five more days
till Christmas. And I still have
some cards on my table! Where
does time go? It couldnt be that I
dont want to admit that I am slow-
ing up, could it? I can remember
when I was a kid and there just
was no money for gifts, so we set-
tled for a great meal. Mom seemed
to have found enough money from
the cream check to buy a turkey
and we raised pigs, so we always
had a roast pork ham. And we
would have sour cream chocolate
cake and Jello with several fruits
in it, pumpkin and apple pie,
mashed potatoes, candied baked
sweet potatoes, corn and green
beans, plus baked beans. And we
would have lettuce and apple
salad.
I really dont know where they
put everyone in the house, as it was
not that big. It was not uncommon
to have 30 people there to eat with
us. For many years Sam Kirk-
patrick would make it back for
Christmas. So this Christmas take
some time to remember your fa-
vorite Christmas and have a good
one this year.
Bill and Jane Gottslebens kids
are all home from school and col-
lege to spend the holidays. Bill and
Jane will be hosting the family for
Christmas Eve. The kids will be
home until January 2.
Marvin and Vicki Eide and Cliff
and Rita Ramsey enjoyed a Christ-
mas dinner at the Philip Nursing
Home with Dorothy Urban
Wednesday, December 19. The
Ramseys had been visited by the
flu for several days in the last few
weeks, so they were glad to be up
and about again.
Chuck and Shirley OConnor en-
joyed a trip to Las Vegas this past
week. Shirley said that she had
Donna Newman fill in for her on
her bowling league.
Friday, Donna Newman had
many folks at her home. And Sun-
day, Donna hosted Christmas din-
ner Sunday for Warren and Shirley
Sweezy, Glenn, Dianne, Morgan
and Kayla Parsons, (Chelsie wasnt
able to be there as they were going
to her husbands family for the hol-
idays this year.) Shayla and Je-
remy, Donnas brother, Roger and
Becky Buhmann, and Debbie and
Mike Clements, (except Caleb who
had other plans). Donna helps with
release time at Redeemer Lutheran
Church, as does Sharon Hemming-
son and Katie Schultz. The church
had their annual Christmas dinner
and program Sunday. She reported
that the parents and grandparents
had a great day.
Kieth Smith took his wife, Deb-
bie, to Rapid City for a birthday
dinner Friday, December 14. Then
on Saturday evening, they went to
Ray and Donna Smiths to watch
the rodeo finals. Sunday, Kieth and
Debbie attended the childrens
Christmas program at the United
Church.
Pat and Mary Lou Guptill were
at Kieth and Debbie Smiths for cof-
fee and visiting.
Lincoln Smith arrived home
from Aberdeen Tuesday, December
18. He is staying at Tuckers and
later will move into the Ted Knut-
sons house when Carrie Buchholz
moves out. We lose one neighbor
and gain another. It seems that the
Knutson home has not been vacant
since Esther moved to Philip, Es-
ther told me she always had
Christmas there and it will be dif-
ferent this year as they are all
going to Steve and Vickies home
for Christmas.
Kieth and Tucker attended the
Mason meeting in Philip this week
and Lincoln plans to join the Ma-
sons as soon as he gets settled. Cas-
sidy and two girls are coming early
for the Christmas holiday and will
be here to help Debbie get ready for
Christmas. Kieth and Debbie are
hosting both Christmas Eve and
Christmas night suppers.
Stephanie (Smith) and Lance
Fountain and two boys have been
visiting Rich Smith and family.
They have rented a home in the
Rapid City area and she will be
spending time with her brothers,
the Ravellettes, and visiting and
touring the Black Hills over the
holidays.
Barb and Mike Coy are arriving
this weekend for their Christmas
with her dad, Rich. They will spend
the rest of the holidays with their
daughter and family.
Don and Donna Olivier left this
week to go to Corsica to visit her
family and have Christmas with
them. They planned to return Fri-
day.
Jerry (Olivier) and Joel Spry had
a baby girl and they have named
her Aven. She joins two sisters.
Herb and Hazel Sieler and Phyl-
lis Coleman enjoyed a Christmas
party that was hosted by Heather
Gabriel and her friend, Terry E.
They stated that they had yummy
good. Hazel and Phyllis also took
along some treats to share. Sielers
have been kept close to home due
to entertaining the flu, so no more
news from their house.
I didnt find Bob Thorson at
home, so news from him this week.
Don and Deloris Poss plan to go
to Cliffords for Christmas Eve oth-
erwise no news from their place.
I have enjoyed so many nice
cards and have gotten so many

family pictures this year. It is eas-
ier to get pictures with all the new
technology. I didnt write a Christ-
mas letter this year and those
whom I sent cards to get the Philip
paper and so can read all my news
in there. Those who dont get the
paper, I just wrote a few lines in
their card. I also had some pictures
this year to send, but some will get
theirs late.
Conventional people are roused to
fury by departures from convention,
largely because they regard such de-
partures as criticism of them-
selves. Bertrand Russell
Hope everyone has a great
Christmas and a safe trip going and
coming. In hearing the weather re-
port, sounds like it is going to be
wintery weather, so drive careful.

Tri-County
Ranchers Workshop
The Tri-County Ranchers Work-
shop will be held Wednesday, Jan-
uary 16, at the Winner Regional
Extension Center in Winner, SD,
beginning with registration at 9:30
am, CST. Dr. Barry Dunn, Dean of
the College of Agriculture and Bi-
ological Sciences, SDSU is sched-
uled to emcee the event, and share
some thoughts about SDSU, SDSU
Extension and how the University
serves farmers and ranchers dur-
ing the noon break.
The topics and speakers were
selected to address issues facing
ranchers dealing with the linger-
ing effects of the 2012 drought, but
should be of interest to anyone in
the ranching business over the
long term.
Starting the program will be
Jim Krantz, Extension Cow/Calf
Field Specialist, discussing
CHAPS and Record Keeping.
CHAPS is a computerized per-
formance testing system that was
originally developed in the early
1990s in North Dakota. North
Dakota State University is collab-
orating with SDSU to revamp the
program to better fit the needs of
todays cattlemen.
The next speaker will be Adele
Harty, Extension Cow/Calf Field
Specialist, providing information
on Livestock Nutrition and Water
Quality. The 2012 drought re-
quired producers to get creative in
securing enough feed to maintain
their cow herds, and may be deal-
ing with feedstuffs they are not
used to dealing with. Water was
also a major concern, and an im-
portant part of a ranching opera-
tion.
Finishing up the morning will
be Pete Bauman, Extension Range
Field Specialist, outlining some in-
novative ideas for Rangeland
Water Development. Lunch will be
served at no charge to partici-
pants, courtesy of area Conserva-
tion Districts and agri-businesses.
After lunch, Laura Edwards, Ex-
tension Climate Field Specialist
will provide a Weather Update and
outlook for 2013, and Matt
Diersen, Extension Risk Manage-
ment Specialist, will outline the
Market situation in the cattle in-
dustry.

Santa Claus made it to the In-
galls house in De Smet, Dakota
Territory, even if the train bearing
supplies did not.
In The Long Winter, Laura In-
galls Wilder describes how she and
her family faced the hard winter of
1880-81.
That Christmas, small striped
packages by each place at the table
contained Christmas candy. There
were presents, too. Laura, her sis-
ter Carrie and Ma had combined
their money to purchase a pair of
blue suspenders for Pa.
Laura gave a cardboard hair re-
ceiver to Ma and a roll of knitted
lace to her sister Mary. She found
the prettiest card she had been
given in Sunday school and placed
it in a frame for Carrie.
Baby Grace tore the paper from
her gift to reveal a toy.
The two cans of oysters that Pa
had bought from the store were
combined with the last of the milk
the Ingalls cow gave to make a
Christmas dinner of oyster soup.
Oh, what a lovely Christmas,
Carrie sighed. Laura thought so
too.
Whatever happened, they could
always have a merry Christmas,
Ingalls wrote in The Long Winter.
Christmas, whether one was a
pioneer in town, in the Army or a
homesteader, was observed on the
frontier, as evidenced in different
writings about the day.
In A Frontier Army Christmas
compiled by Lori A. Cox-Paul and
Dr. James W. Wengert, 1st Sgt.
Ragnar Theodor Ling-Vannerus of
the Seventh Cavalry wrote of his
camps holiday preparations at
Pine Ridge in 1890: Every tent
was decorated with firs and twigs,
and long garlands of evergreens
were stretched between the tents.
At each end of the picket lines,
sheaves were put up In the
kitchens everybody was busy;
turkeys and geese were roasted or
grilled and filled with apples and
other delicacies, whole pigs were

A merry prairie Christmas
hung on the broaches, pastries and
cakes were baked, and so on
Eventually came the feast ea-
gerly longed-for, and mighty was
the drinking among high and low
Along the walls there were low
seats covered with a mixed collec-
tion of skin rugs, in whose soft,
warm furs it was delightful to rest,
while speeches, toasts, and songs
made time unnoticeably go by.
There were also Christmas gifts
from near and far.
In June 1909, 21-year-old Eliza-
beth Corey came to South Dakota
to stake out a claim, homestead
the land and to teach school.
She filed claim to land 10 miles
southwest of Pierre, along the Bad
River.
The letters she wrote to her fam-
ily in Iowa from 1909 to 1919 are
contained in the State Archives of
the South Dakota State Historical
Society at the Cultural Heritage
Center in Pierre. The letters are
the basis of Bachelor Bess.
Corey wrote of her first Christ-
mas as a homesteader, I have
three Xmas presents. Mrs. Stone
gave me a beauty of a button box.
Myrtle gave me a pretty Xmas
card and Speers gave me an enam-
eled quart cup Xmas day there
was lots of company and lots to do
so I never had time to get home-
sick. Just before supper Howard
hitched to the bobsleigh and we
went to take Ben Share some
Xmas goodies.
All was not calm on Christmas
Day 1862 in Yankton, Dakota Ter-
ritory.
According to Christmas on the
American Frontier 1800-1900 by
John E. Baur, a brawl broke out
between a supporter of territorial
legislator J.B.S Todd and a backer
of territorial Governor William
Jayne. Todds supporter threw in
the towel and Jaynes defender
broke the mans thumb.
Politics and Christmas seldom
mix.

The South Dakota Department
of Agriculture is hosting commer-
cial pesticide applicator certifica-
tion meetings this January and
February.
The goal of these meetings is to
insure the safe and effective stor-
age, handling, distribution, use and
disposal of pesticide products. Pes-
ticide applicators must take a test
to become initially certified, but
can recertify by attending one of
these meetings.
Once certified, commercial appli-
cators must obtain a license, which
is also valid for two years.
A commercial applicator license
is $25 and a recertification class is
$50. Applicator and dealer licenses
must be renewed by February 28,
2013, or a $50 late fee will be as-
sessed.
For times, dates and places of
the commercial applicator meet-
ings, visit https://apps.sd.gov/doa/
ecat3/ Appl i catorMeeti ngPro-
grams.htm. Please bring a govern-
ment issued photo identification
and your applicator license to the
meeting for check-in.

Governor Dennis Daugaard has
extended an executive order to
haul overwidth baled livestock feed
until February 21, 2013, in South
Dakota.
The executive order states that,
upon receipt of a permit, permis-
sion is granted to move overwidth
baled livestock feed not exceeding
12 feet wide or 15 feet high for two
hours after sunset and two hours
before sunrise. The order allows
movement of overwidth baled live-
stock feed until cessation of the
drought emergency, or no later
than February 21.
Overwidth vehicles must be
equipped with flashing or rotating
white or amber warning lights on
each side of the loads widest ex-
tremity. The warning lights must
be clearly visible to motorists ap-
proaching from the front and rear.
Movement under the executive
order is valid only for baled live-
stock feed.
This years persistent drought
conditions have left livestock pro-
ducers across South Dakota with
inadequate feed supplies, said
South Dakota Secretary of Agricul-
ture Walt Bones. Increasing haul-
ing height and width restrictions
for baled hay will allow producers
to move feed in a more efficient
manner.
The normal size restriction on
South Dakota highway loads is 14
feet, three inches high and eight
feet, six inches wide.
Although height and width re-
strictions for baled livestock feed
have been temporarily increased by
executive order, several highways
in the state have width and height
restrictions in place because of con-
struction or permanent structures
that cannot accommodate such
large loads. Truckers are encour-
aged to check their routes ahead of
time for those restrictions.
For information on permits, con-
tact a South Dakota port of entry or
call 800-637-3255.
Overwidth baled feed
hauling extended in S.D.

You can tell Christmas is draw-
ing near as there are school Christ-
mas programs and school Christ-
mas meals, Christmas carols sung
and Christmas cards sent and
Merry Christmas greetings called
out here and there. We woke up to
some snow the other morning,
making it look like Christmas, as
well. Soon bells will be ringing in
the New Year, welcoming us to the
year 2013. A reminder of just how
quickly time flies! A reminder to
enjoy those unexpected blessings!
For those unexpected blessings are
memory makers!
For those of us who had the
privilege of attending rural schools,
Nancy Haighs article on rural
schools in this weeks Pioneer Re-
view, was an interesting read.
Theres just something special
about being a part of a country
school. Remember those softball
games at noon recess? With the
school bell ringing out that recess
was over, and kids calling out for a
bit more time to finish the game,
the teacher would oftentimes allow
it, as being a country school there
wasnt another classroom heading
out for recess. Growing up in the
rural Deep Creek area, Ive enjoyed
the articles on the Deep Creek
School, reopening after being
closed for seven years. In Nancys
article of rural schools, she had pic-
tures of, and wrote of, the Deep
Creek School renewing their an-
nual tradition of going out and cut-
ting down a Christmas tree. Thats
what I call one of those memory
makers!
Wednesday of this week was a
full evening. It began with the soup
supper benefit for Mary Parquet
held at St. William Catholic
Church. It just plain warmed a per-
sons heart to see such a huge
crowd there. Mary and her hus-
band, Tom, have been on a journey
for the past four years, or more. A
journey of what lies ahead? With
doctor appointments, kidney dialy-
sis, Marys name on the kidney
donor list! As, Mary and I were vis-
iting at that benefit Wednesday
evening, I was truly moved, as she
shared some of that journey. With-
out a doubt, they believe God has
walked that journey with them.
And, little grandbaby girl, Reming-
ton, was an added plus to that jour-
ney. Those little ones have a way of
worming their way into your heart,
making you forget for a time, the
difficulties that can come on this
journey I call, life. Tom and Mary
have been an inspiration to others,
for sure. We pray Marys new kid-
ney continues to do well, and wish
them a Merry Christmas and a
good New Year.
The Midland School Christmas
program had a crowd of parents,
grandparents, and others as the
kids performed the play, Yo-ho-ho
A Pirates Christmas. Those little
ones were just the cutest in their
pirate costumes. Nicki Nelson is
the school aid, works some with
music, and worked with the stu-
dents in kindergarten-eighth grade
on this Christmas program. There
were 22 children in the pirates
Christmas program which included
pre-school, as well. Ella Schofield,
daughter of Lucas and Bridget
Schofield, celebrated her fourth
birthday that day, so all the kids
sang Happy Birthday. Santa
made his usual stop with Christ-
mas gifts for all the kids. And, a
sack full of goodies and a bright red
apple were given out to the rest. It
was a cute program!
Thursday was the community
Christmas meal at the Midland
School. Amiee Block is the school
cook and had ham, potato casserole
and decorated sugar cookies as
part of the menu. With parents and
grandparents, and anyone else who
wanted to come for that meal, there
was a larger crowd then usual. So
Jenna Finn and Katie Sammons
were Aimees helpers. Music direc-
tor, Ben Latham, of the Kadoka
Area school, came from Kadoka
that day with his Midland students
entertaining the folks with Christ-
mas carols.
We were saddened to learn that
Lois (Wilson) Hall of rural Midland
passed away, with her funeral
being in Pierre Saturday morning.
Lois was one of those people who
enjoyed history, knew a lot of local
history, had a unique sense of
humor, was a rural school teacher
for many years, and was just plain
interesting, as she shared stories of
going to school in Midland, gradu-
ating with the Class of 1946. Lois
mother, Mary Wilson, and my
aunt, Esther Schanzenbach, would
visit in the basement of this home
on Main St. in Pierre. The menfolk
would go to the cattle sale and Es-
ther and Mary wpuld spend the af-
ternoon visiting. Mom, Phil and I
went to that basement to see Es-
ther one time. If memory serves me
correctly, you went down the steps
to that basement apartment on the
outside of the building. I remember
it being nice and cozy on a cold win-
ters day. With each of those folks,
such as Lois, a big part of our his-
tory goes with them. Our sincere
sympathies to the family of Lois
Hall.
I visited a bit with Larry Venner
of Pierre this Friday morning, ask-
ing how Alice is doing. Larry and
Alice had just gotten back from a
bit of an outing. There is just some-
thing about getting out of the house
for a bit, that makes a person feel
better. Larry reported that Alice is
getting some weaker, her eyesight
has been affected, and her voice is
weaker making it more difficult to
talk, but that she continues to be
without pain, for which they are
thankful. Anyone who knows Alice,
knows how much she enjoys visit-
ing, her ready laugh, her love for
life. For them each day is gift, with
the future for Alice being uncer-
tain, they cherish this precious
time with family and friends. Their
faith in a loving, caring God is an
important part of their journey.
Our prayers continue to be with
them!
Don and Sally Ehlers have a

Karel Reiman was in Rapid City
once again as her 93-year-old
mother, Goldie Eisenbraun, has
been in the Rapid City hospital.
Goldie was being moved from the
hospital to the Clarkson Care Cen-
ter. Karel left for Rapid Wednesday
morning and she, her brother and
sister, Ed and Paula, Rapid, got
their mom settled in at Clarkson.
Karel arrived back home Thursday
evening and is busy getting things
ready for family coming home for
Christmas.
Tony and LaVon Nemec,
Gillette, Wyo., attended the funeral
service of Tonys classmate and
friend, Andy Olesen, at Rockford,
Ill. Judy Fosheim rode to the fu-
neral service with Richard and
Celia Doud. Jack and LaVona Kir-
patrick, Hayes, and Arnold Gerton-
son and his wife of Colorado were
also at the funeral. Gene and Au-
drey Jones attended the service
and then drove to the home of their
daughter, Brenda Neiman, and
family at Verona, Wis., which is 90
miles from Rockford. Our sincere
sympathies to Andys family.

proved. The treasurers report was
given. George Stroppel moved to
approve and George Anderson sec-
onded and motion was approved.

Kevin Neuhauser attended a
farm auction Saturday afternoon,
and that evening he and Mary at-
tended birthday gatherings for
Kathy (Marso) Harford as well as
Monte Whidby. Kevin and Mary
spent Saturday night in town, and
Sunday Kevin and fellow Shriners
had their annual fruit delivery to
local nursing homes. Kevin said
they will be in Miller next week-
end, celebrating the holidays with
the Schlecter families.
Bill and Polly Bruce went to
Rapid City last Thursday, and they
spent the night with David and
Robin Bruce in their new home.
Friday, Bill and Polly spent the day
with Dennis and Betty (Bruce)
Casey. Betty is Bill's sister, and she
now resides in a nursing home due
to her battle with Alzheimers.
Betty was able to go out to lunch
with Bill, Polly, and Dennis, and
they had an enjoyable time. Bill
and Polly spent Friday night with
David and Robin and headed back
to the ranch Saturday. When they
got home, they discovered that they
now have a new back door an
early Christmas present, installed
by their son, Vince Bruce. What a
great surprise! There was no Mass
on Sunday, because their priest
was ill. Monday, Bill and Polly
were in Pierre, making arrange-
ments for their family Christmas
gathering to be held the weekend
after Christmas.
I spoke with Marge Briggs, and
she said her place is an "empty
well" as far as news is concerned
this week. But, she did want to
wish everyone a Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year. And she
wanted to remind folks that "giving
a present isn't the big thing. Re-
ceiving God's present is what is im-
portant. For unto us a Child is
born; unto us a Son is given."
Nels and Dorothy Paulson were
in Pierre last Wednesday deliver-
ing Christmas presents. Sunday,
Dorothy attended church there
was a good crowd, and Julian and
Coreen Roseth served lunch. Nels
has taken advantage of the snow
cover to burn garbage that piled up
during the hot, dry weather.
Dorothy said they stored the
garbage in an empty bin, and it is
nice to have the trash gone! Mon-
day, Nels and Dorothy were in
Philip and Murdo on business.
Tuesday, they are planning to go to
Corsica to attend the Christmas
program at the nursing home
where Dorothy's sister, Wilma, re-
sides. Weather permitting, that is.
Reminder: Christmas services at
Deep Creek Church will be Sun-
day, December 23, at 5:00 p.m., fol-
lowed by a potluck meal. Everyone
is welcome.
Randy and I were in Union Cen-
ter Thursday to pick up some sup-
plies, and the fog was really thick!
We nearly drove past Union Cen-
ter, because we couldn't see it!
Dylan Neuhauser was here Satur-
day helping with some fencing and
welding projects. Saturday night,
we attended the birthday party for
Monte Whidby in Pierre. Monday,
Todd Mortenson and Ed Briggs
stopped by for some socializing and
cribbage playing.
This week, I am grateful for com-
munity halls, especially the Kirley
Hall and Hayes Hall. And I'm
grateful for those who work hard to
keep them maintained. The halls
serve as gathering places for our
area, and they are host to school
programs, community plays, BB
gun practice, 4-H club meetings,
crafting meetings and numerous
other events all events that help
keep the communities intact! We
are truly fortunate to have the
buildings and the activities. In
cities, it isn't uncommon to not
even know the person on the other
side of your apartment wall or in
the house next door. That isn't the
case here, and I, for one, am glad.

The Midland Elementary School students, under the direction of Nicki Nelson, performed Yo Ho Ho ~ A Pirate Christmas
as their Christmas program. This musical production takes place on Captain Jake's pirate ship anchored offshore near the
Spanish Main just days before Christmas. The crew is swabbing the deck, tying up the ropes, polishing the brass and clean-
ing. The captain gets some new crew members who soon find out that this ship is different from most pirate ships. They
never rob and plunder, they only clean. The captain likes a tidy ship, and he does not like Christmas. Captain Jake comes
from a long line of pirates and that's what he thought he had to be. He discovered the rest of the pirates had decorated the
ship for Christmas. He also discovered that he was missing something about Christmas, and that he doesn't have to be a
pirate. The crew sails home to have the biggest Christmas party the seven seas has ever seen. Shown is the entire crew.

Scotties maul Kougars 89-32
Philips Quade Slovek made a physical statement, that under no uncertain terms,
the ball was in his possession. The Philip Scotties strong-armed Kadoka 89-32.

The Philip Scotties boys basket-
ball team not only defeated the
Kadoka Area Kougars on the
Kougars home court, Monday, De-
cember 17, but did so in an over-
whelming and resounding fashion.
The game was a non-district
match, with the Scotties aligned in
District 14B, and the Kougars in
District 13B basketball.
The first quarter was obviously
lopsided in Philips favor. The Scot-
ties racked up 23 points and al-
lowed only two points by the
Kougars.
The second quarter was pretty
much a repeat, at least offensively,
with Philip gaining another 21
points. Defensively, the Scotties al-
lowed 11 points to be put on the
scoreboard by their opponents.
The second half was a continua-
tion of the run-away action. Philip
stacked up another 29 points, while
Kadoka fought for another eight.
The final quarter saw just a little
mercy from the Scotties. Philip
eased another 16 points onto the
scoreboard, while Kadoka showed
its best quarter by fighting for 11
points. Philip accepted the 57 ad-
vantage in the victory over Kadoka
Area.

The Philip junior varsity, with
help from seven players who later
played during the varsity game,
also handily defeated their Kadoka
opponents. Though the Philip of-
fense was not quite as devastating,
the defense was just as unforgiv-
ing. In the final quarter, the Scot-
ties allowed Kadoka to claim only
two points.

Friday, January 4, in Murdo versus

at 5:30 p.m.
The Bison Lady Cardinals
hosted the Philip Lady Scotties
basketball team, Thursday, De-
cember 20.
Philip could put in only one bas-
ket, and that a free throw, the en-
tire first quarter. Starting in the
second quarter, though, the Scot-
ties grabbed the lead and never let
go. Though a continuous barrage of
111 attempted field goal shots,
Philip sank 20 for an average of 18
percent. This barrage was made
possible by the teams 37 steals and
three players getting rebounds in
the double digits. At the final
buzzer, the Scotties had more than
doubled their opponents score, for
a clear 48-19 win.

Thomas Doolittle and Tate De-
Jong have been chosen as semifi-
nalists for the Coca Cola Scholars
scholarship program.
From 111,000 applicants, 2000
students were chosen as semi-final-
ists. Of those, only 11 are from
South Dakota. From these semi-fi-
nalists, 250 students will be chosen
for a $10,000 or $20,000 scholar-
ship.
The official notification letters
received by Doolittle and DeJong
included, You have been selected
as a semifinalist in the Coca-Cola
Scholars Program. Because so few
of the total number of applicants
(nearly 111,000) for the Coca-Cola
Scholars program are advanced as
semifinalists, we consider this an
outstanding achievement. As one of
2,000 semifinalists, we hope that
you see your selection as affirma-
tion of your ability to distinguish
yourself academically and person-
ally.
The next step for the Philip High
School students was to download,
complete and submit the semifinal-
ist forms. This gave them an oppor-
tunity to elaborate further on the
activities and accomplishments ref-
erenced in their initial applica-
tions.
Notification informing them of
the reading committees decision
will be mailed in early February.
Those selected as Coca-Cola Schol-
ars must attend the Coca-Cola
Scholars Weekend, April 18-21,
2013, at the Scholars Foundation's
expense during which time they
will be interviewed for one of 50
National Scholar awards of
$20,000. The remaining 200 schol-
ars will receive regional scholar
awards valued at $10,000.

Deer hunters who have unfilled
antlerless deer tags for the West
River and East River deer seasons
will have nine additional days
available to harvest antlerless deer
beginning December 29 and ending
January 6.
Tom Kirschenmann, South
Dakota Game Fish and Parks ter-
restrial chief, reminds hunters to
be aware of the regulation change
from the past several years.
Over the past several seasons,
any deer tags have converted to
antlerless tags for the extended
season, Kirschenmann said. That
is not the case this year. Only un-
filled antlerless tags will be valid
during the late season.
The changes were made as part
of deer herd management objec-
tives to direct additional antlerless
harvest in the areas of the state
that need it most while curtailing
the doe harvest in areas where it is
not needed.

Twenty-seven students from
Brigitte Brucklachers personal fi-
nance class at the Philip High
School recently completed the
EverFi Financial Literacy pro-
gram. This Web-based program
uses the latest in new media tech-
nologies video, animations, 3-D
gaming, avatars and social net-
working to bring complex finan-
cial concepts to life for todays digi-
tal generation.
First National Bank in Philip
partnered with EverFi, Inc. to
bring the interactive financial
management program to Philip
High School students at no cost to
the school.
I appreciate the FNB sponsor-
ing this program for the personal
finance classes. The Everfi pro-
gram provides reinforcement of fi-
nancial concepts as well as intro-
duces new information to stu-
dents, said Brucklacher.
The 10-unit course offered six
hours of programming aimed at
teaching, assessing and certifying
students in a variety of financial
topics including credit scores, in-
surance, credit cards, student
loans, mortgages, taxes, stocks,
savings, 401k, and other critical
concepts that map to national fi-
nancial literacy standards. The
platform tracks the progress and
score of every student. Students
who successfully complete the
course receive a certification in fi-
nancial literacy, a mark of distinc-
tion on college applications and re-
sumes.
We have made this commitment
in our community because of our
strong belief that if we can better
educate the students of today, then
they will become the financially re-
sponsible citizens of tomorrow,
said Ray Smith, president of the
First National Bank in Philip.

In starting up its 2012-2013 sea-
son, the Philip chapter of Fellowhip
of Christian Athletes met Tuesday,
December 18, at 7:15 a.m. in Betty
Berrys classroom at the Philip
High School.
The student-directed group is ad-
vised by Berry and Tom Parquet.
This meetings Bible verse that was
discussed was Mark 10:43-44,
Whoever wants to become great
among you must be your servant,
and whoever wants to be first must
be slave of all. A modern analogy
was being a teams waterboy; an
important role, though a humbling
job that most people dont want.
After some group discussion, the
concluding questions were As a
competitor or a coach, is it easier to
serve or be served? Why?
Parquet confessed that, with the
surrounding communities offering
concern and fundraisers for his
wifes recent kidney transplant, he
found that being served is far
harder. He has been accepting and
grateful, but feels it is easier and
more comfortable to be on the giv-
ing end.

many area communities report
that their libraries are holding
their own or even thriving.
The library in Britton, which
moved to fine new quarters in
2002, is a social gathering spot for
the community. There is always a
jigsaw puzzle in the works and cof-
fee available, said Britton Public
Library head librarian, Peggy
Satrang. Some people come in two
or three times a week to put pieces
in the puzzle, and others come in
just to have a cup of coffee and visit
a little bit. It really is a community
place. Its busy, but its a good place
to be.
Nationwide, the report from
rural libraries is not so upbeat. In
the face of a dire financial situa-
tion, library administrators and
trustees are grappling with incred-
ibly difficult decisions to reduce
services, programs and staffing,
according to a presentation given
at the Association of Small and
Rural Libraries conference in Sep-
tember. When budgets are tight,
local government officials some-
times question the relevance of li-
braries in an increasingly digital
world.
A public library helps keep the
status of the community on an in-
tellectual level and provides a won-
derful pastime for many people,
said Anita Lowary, Grotons city fi-
nance officer.
It can also be a place where peo-
ple can gather on neutral ground.
A lot of times in rural areas, the
library can be a focal point for the
community, said Al Peterson,
president of the North Dakota Li-
brary Association. The nice thing
about a library, its open to anyone
and everyone. You dont have to be
rich, you dont have to be poor. You
dont have to be Catholic, you dont
have to be Lutheran. You can be
anybody you want to go to a li-
brary.
Doing more with less
In the Dakotas and elsewhere,
the costs that rural libraries have
to pay are going up: Books cost
more, anything you want to do
costs more, said Annie Brunskill,
past president of the South Dakota
Library Association.
The funding that libraries re-
ceive from their local governments
often doesnt go up quite as quickly
as costs do, and with the nation-
wide economic slowdown in recent
years, some budgets have been cut.
The budget of Brunskills home li-
brary in Philip, for example, was
trimmed a year ago, and Groton
lost a significant part of the fund-
ing it used to receive from the
county when the bookmobile was
still in service.
But rural libraries have another
source of funds if the regular
budget isnt enough the users
themselves. When community
members see a need, they often
step up to fill the gap. Avid readers
in the community often donate new
books right after they have read
them, and area librarians report
their recent fundraisers have been
quite successful.
People are so generous. Its un-
real, Satrang said of her Britton
community. We also have had a
couple substantial donations from
people who have passed away.
Busy places
The population of many rural
areas is going down, and book-
stores in larger areas have closed,
which might lead a person to guess
that rural libraries have fewer pa-
trons than they used to.
That is not what is actually hap-
pened. The number of people
using them has gone up, Brunskill
said.
Another factor is that the world
expects people to have online ac-
cess, so if they dont have Internet
at home the library serves that
need. For example, people looking
for jobs search for openings online,
and many employers prefer online
applications now, Brunskill said.
Peterson added that as people
manage their own budgets and see
the cost of books and other media
rising, they often opt to check out
books or DVDs from the library in-
stead of purchasing them.
Some patrons have also realized
they can get just about anything
they want through interlibrary
loan. They may not have cable, but
if they want to see the TV show
Dexter (a Showtime channel ex-
clusive), they can request full sea-
sons from their library, Peterson
said.
Changing technology
As library patrons pick up e-
readers such as Kindles and Nooks,
librarians have done what they can
to serve those new readers of e-
readers. Not all rural libraries are
able to offer e-books yet. Groton, for
example, needs to upgrade their
equipment before they can offer
that service, Lowary said.
If you have a small budget, its
kind of out of reach, Brunskill
said. We have to balance the cost
of e-books against hardcover
books.
Libraries also serve as a place for
the public to use the Internet, and
setting up that system can take
technical expertise that many li-
brarians dont have. Money from
the American Recovery and Rein-
vestment Act has funded broad-
band initiatives nationwide that
Rural libraries survive and thrive with community support
can help with that.
In South Dakota, the S.D. Broad-
band Initiative provides a free
technological assessment for all
community anchor institutions,
which includes libraries but also
applies to city offices, health care
facilities, YMCAs and more. Then
those institutions can apply for a
grant to help with needed technol-
ogy upgrades.
A role for the
foreseeable future
Overall, rural libraries in the
Dakotas are holding their own or
thriving, but there are some that
are struggling. Brunskill said the
difference is sometimes related to
declining population, but the effort
of the people involved matters
more to how the library is doing
than numbers do.
If youve got people who really,
really think highly of their library,
it doesnt matter whether its a
small town or medium sized town,
that library going to get a lot of
support from that community,
Brunskill said.
Many rural libraries are serving
an important niche in their com-
munities, as a social gathering
space as well as a place to gather
information.

Tony Harty visited with Shirley
Hair Monday. His sister, Monica
and Pat Weaver, were visitors at
his home in the afternoon. Tony at-
tended the basketball games the
rest of the day.
Monday morning, I took the
Haakon County Prairie Transpora-
tion van to Rapid City for appoint-
ments, going by way of Philip.
Sandee Gittings took Daniel Jor-
dan home Tuesday morning.
Tuesday, Tony Harty delivered
some baking tins and other items
to Shirley Hair when he visited. He
also stopped by our place for a visit
in the afternoon.
Don and Vi Moody returned from
Rapid Wednesday night to find
that their solar lights weren't
working to guide them home, but
the big yard light was on that
Brant and Lance Sundall installed
while they were in Rapid. They
were certain this light was bright
enough to light all of Jackson
County. Anyway, it seems pack-
ages are arriving from near and far
at Vi and Don's. A package of pears
came from Harry and David and
these boys must know South
Dakota weather very well because
they were in the mailbox and not
even frozen yet. A secret Santa said
it was from friend Nancy Gaylord
in Bradford, Conn.
Tony Harty visited L.D. and
Shirley Hair Wednesday after get-
ting his mail. He went out for din-
ner then got busy and whipped up
a triple batch of his spinach dip
that he shares with so many.
Wednesday, Ralph and Cathy
Fiedler attended the West Elemen-
tary Christmas program at Black
Hills State University in Spearfish,
to watch their grandson, Loman.
He was the last of the five grand-
children to perform. He played a
jail elf in Surfin Santa. Loman
will move to Creekside Elementary
next year.
Wednesday was a blustery,
windy day, and we were thankful
not to have a foot of soft snow to
blow around. The snow that ar-
rived Monday night stayed put. I
made a van trip to Philip in the
morning.
Kinsey and Kelsey Gittings went
to Rapid City with Beth Stewart
Thursday.
Don and Vi Moody ran around
the ranch and looked at all the re-
cent changes happening with the
earthmoving equipment work that
Vi didn't have a chance to look at
yet, so that was interesting. The
cattle were all scattered along the
creeks and contented as little
lambs. All was in order and Vi de-
cided she would have a few days to
get a leg up on her certified public
accountant before the year ends.
They got their illuminations work-
ing at their driveway entrance. Let
there be light!
Thursday evening, Ralph and
Cathy Fiedler went to the Don
Klumb home in Spearfish to help
celebrate granddaughter Tessas
14th birthday with a pizza party.
Other guests were Lorene Klumb,
Eric, Derek Schmacher and Jazmin
and Eric, Sherry Hanson and fam-
ily and Braden Roter, a friend of
Tessas. After supper, Tessa opened
her birthday gifts then everyone
enjoyed cupcakes that Braden
made.
Thursday visitors at our place
were Phyllis Word, Tony Harty and
Melissa Patterson. Bill made a pick
up on his way past Moodys corner
and came with a couple of cute tree
ornaments. Vi wondered if I knew
about the little white ball she sent,
it was a 1969 or 70 era bobble. The
race car, #33, Bill knew the driver,
thanks kids for thinking of us.
The hull-less popcorn is deli-

Thursday, Tony not only visited

in preparation for Christmas.
Donna and Tina Staben hosted
the Milesville Community Club
Christmas party Tuesday evening
at 5:00. We enjoyed a soup supper
followed by filling sacks with good-
ies for those living alone, elderly, or
just because. A gift exchange and
revealing our Secret Sisters and
snacks rounded out the evening.
Attending were Gayla Piroutek,
Linda Gebes, Karen Carley, Erin
Hovland, Marcia Eymer and Janice
Parsons.
Last Thursday night, most of
the Smith family gathered in
Pierre to view the trees at the Capi-
tol, then had supper out. Included
were Dave and Tonya Berry and
family, Will and Toni Anders and
family, and Cory and Deb Smith
and Deb's daughter, Caite.
Donnie and Marcia Eymer met
Jerry and Joy Neville, Sharon
Coyle and Shirley Parsons for sup-
per in Philip Thursday. Kayla
Eymer, who was on call at the
Philip hospital, joined them for
supper, then went back to work.
Later, the six of them played cards
at Sharon's house.
A week ago Thursday, Leo and
Joan Patton took Irene Patton out
for lunch. Leo and Joan were in
Pierre for a shopping trip.
Dan and Gayla Piroutek, Gene
Deuchar, Roy Warner, and Kelly
Blair all attended the Deep Creek
School program last Wednesday
evening. A large crowd attended to
watch as the five students and
teacher, Theresa Deuchar, stirred
everyone's hearts toward Christ-
mas.
Erin, Tim and Daniel Logan, St.
Louis, Mo., flew into Rapid City
last Thursday. They were met by
Dan and Gayla Piroutek. After
lunch, they toured Dinosaur Park
in Rapid City. The Logan family
will stay in Milesville until Christ-
mas Day when they fly home.
Last Wednesday, Karen Carley
spent the day with her mother,
Mildred O'Grady. After spending
two weeks in the Rapid City hospi-
tal, Mildred was released and she
returned to the nursing home in
New Underwood.
My hope is that each of you
were able to be with family and
friends this Christmas season.
Milesville News

Tim Johnson (D-S.D.)
South Dakota physicians are un-
able to get ahold of their patients to
provide follow-up care. A police dis-
patch center in Nebraska was un-
able to connect with a law enforce-
ment center in South Dakota.
Small businesses across our state
are losing business because poten-
tial customers cant reach them on
the phone.
Over the last couple years, rural
South Dakotans have experienced
long distance phone calls that are
failing to complete or have poor
quality. It appears that some long
distance providers are failing to
properly terminate calls to avoid
paying required fees that help pay
for telephone service in rural areas.
I am working closely with South
Dakota small businesses, tele-
phone customers, and rural tele-
phone providers on this issue, and
just last week, I recruited 35 other
senators to work with me to find a
solution.
The lack of reliable phone service
is both a safety and economic issue
for rural America. I first heard
about this issue from a small busi-
ness in Canistota. Since then, I
have heard from many individuals
in our state about the persistent
problem of long distance telephone
calls not being completed. Resi-
dents need to have phone service
that allows them to receive urgent
calls, and small businesses need re-
liable phone service to operate.
Rural phone customers affected by
this problem are rightfully frus-
trated and demand a solution.
Last month, I invited Wall resi-
dent Denny Law to Washington,
D.C., to help emphasize the sever-
ity of these problems. Denny is the
general manager and CEO of
Golden West Telecommunications,
which provides telephone service to
a large portion of southern and cen-
tral South Dakota. Telephone com-
panies, like Golden West, have
been working to fix the call termi-
nation problems. It can be difficult
for small rural wireline companies
to pinpoint where the problems oc-
curred because the long distance
calls are often dropped before they
reach their telephone networks.
Dennys presentation and my per-
sistence helped senators from all
over the country understand the
magnitude of the issue and join me
in calling on the Federal Commu-
nications Commission to resolve
this problem.
The ball is now in the FCCs
court. When I pressed the FCC on
this in early 2012, they released a
declaratory ruling that warned
long distance providers by reiterat-
ing the federal prohibitions against
blocking, choking, reducing or re-
stricting telephone traffic. How-
ever, the agency has not yet taken
enforcement action, and, as many
South Dakotans know, the prob-
lems are still occurring at an
alarming rate. I am hopeful the ef-
fort I recently led will lead to fixing
this problem, but I need your help,
as well.
The FCC is conducting an inves-
tigation and wants to hear from
consumers. South Dakotans should
go to http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/
rcc/RCC_Form2000B.html. Like
many other challenges we face in
rural America, this issue doesnt
get the attention it deserves. How-
ever, I was able to get one-third of
the U.S. Senate on board, which is
no easy task. I will continue work-
ing and am confident we will find a
solution.

The Haakon County Public Li-
brary, in partnership with the
Philip chapter of AARP/Retired
Teacher Association, will host a
discussion Thursday, January 28,
on the book One-Room Country
School: South Dakota Stories.
The community discussion will
follow the monthly soup supper,
AARP/RTA meeting. The library
board and the Philip Book Club
will providing desserts and bars
during the discussion.
The hosts welcome all current
and former teachers and school
board members, and all other com-
munity residents to attend the
evenings discussion. Dorothy
Liegl, discussion scholar with the
South Dakota Humanities Council,
will be guiding the evenings event.
Books are available at the library
courtesy of a grant from the South
Dakota Humanities Council. The
book is a collection of experiences
from people all over the state, in-
cluding several from Haakon
County. Readers should recognize
many of the names and locations
included in the book. The book is
edited by Norma C. Wilson and
Charles L. Woodard, and published
by the South Dakota Humanities
Council.
A large map will be available to
help pinpoint the locations of the
original country schools in Haakon
County, with input from attendees.
Everyone is invited to bring old
photos of Haakon County schools to
share. Please bring them in a plas-
tic sleeve with your name attached.
The event will be held at the Bad
River Senior Citizen Center in
Philip, Monday, January 28, with
the meal beginning at 6:00 p.m.
The hosts ask that residents pre-
register by calling the library at
859-2442.
According to Anne Brunskill, li-
brary director, the books may be
picked up at the library, but, as
part of SDHCs lending library,
they will need to be returned. How-
ever, if individuals would like to
have a copy of their own, the li-
brary can order extra books at a
discount, if there are 10 or more re-
quests.
If enough information and pho-
tos are made available, there may
be a follow-up meeting at some fu-
ture date.
