Though more teams are still being put together by captains, 10 are already working on fundraising before the big night. Other groups, organizations, businesses and individuals are also gearing up for the event. Philip area teams include the FNB Cowpokes Kickin’ Cancer headed by Val Schulz, Lady Bugs headed by Kay Ainslie, Cowboy Up For a Cure headed by Val Oldenberg, and Cowgirls Cookin’ Up a Cure headed by Jeannine Gabriel. Wall area teams include Inspire the Cure headed by Heather Schuller, Town N Country Frogs headed by Jody Bielmaier, FI Bees headed by Kellie Nixon, and West River Lightning Bugs headed by Jeannie Smith. The Midland team is the Slam Dunkers headed by Pat Foley. The Milesville On a Mission team is headed by Marlis Doud. Cindy Wilmarth is gathering volunteers for Kadoka support, and Heather Olney is heading Team OK for Kadoka. The first Quad County Relay For Life was held in 2003. Since then, the all-night affair has been reduced to a more compact and manageable evening starting at 6:00 and going to midnight. Before the various laps, honorees, speakers and entertainment, survivor registration begins at 4:00 p.m. Though some people who have fought cancer are reluctant to let too many others in on their personal fight, many attend the Relay For Life event. Those known survivors, well over 200 from this area, have been individually invited. Others survivors are invited to come as either survivors www. pioneer-review.com Del Bartels During a past Quad County ReLay For Life event in Philip, luminaries, representing survivors, those who have fallen and care givers, lined the path walked by individuals and teams. or as supporters. One care giver for a person who fought cancer is Esther Oldenberg, whose son, now 32 years old, had bone cancer when he was in sixth grade. “The battle is 75 percent mental. You have to set your mind before your body can get better,” said Oldenberg. “John went outside, screamed once, came back inside and said let’s get to beating this.” His was a 10-year battle. “He might not have felt good, but we would try to do something normal when we were out of the hospital,” explained Oldenberg. “Maybe not able to do it for an hour, but something normal, zoo, walking, riding horse, watching a ball game, not laying in a bed.” No. 1, Vol. 110 John, his family and his classmates would do a diligent job of washing their hands, and John would stay home if any of his classmates had a cold. Heather Olney is a breast cancer survivor. Her battle started in 2010. She was declared cancer free after mastectomy surgery was done to take out the tumors, 37 rounds of radiation treatment, reconstructive surgery, and four months of physical therapy. Recently, in Nov. 2014, Olney was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, directly caused by the amount of earlier radiation treatments. “I would tell someone to be sure to educate themselves – Internet, other people with cancer,” said Olney. “I would definitely say to reach out to other people for help. Oftentimes, I think you don’t want to bother other people, but you shouldn’t drive, you are on medication, you are experiencing side effects. You are in shock, an out of body experience, the doctors tell you things and others there should hear it with you, for you,” continued Olney. She was told that the second day after her first treatment all her hair would fall out. As told, every hair was gone, eyebrows, everything. Olney joked, “Your showers are a whole lot quicker.” Olney advised support people, “Have a lot of patience. Be their eyes and ears for them. Make them do what the doctors tell them to do.” Olney supports educating the public. “Breast cancer has been such a private disease for women, and with so many women getting breast cancer it is so important for them to know what is going to happen to start with. It’s not a pretty disease. “I was at a very dark place in the middle of my treatments. My radiation oncologist made me go to a counselor from American Cancer Society. I did not want to go; very upset.” After 10 minutes, Olney admitted that she was tired, worn out and was contemplating suicide. “The cancer society people sometimes get a bad rap. She helped me get through it. She really saved my life.” said Olney. New instructors at Haakon schools by Del Bartels Haakon School District has three new instructors for the 2015-2016 school year. Lauren Adrian is the fifth grade instructor in Philip, Lissa Papousek is the sixth grade instructor in Philip, and Kelsey McDaniel is the instructor at Milesville School. Lauren Adrian A 2010 graduate from White River High School, Adrian attended the University of Minnesota-Morris, where she earned a bachelor of arts in elementary education and an endorsement in kindergarten through 12th grade Spanish. Originally a pre-medical student, she discovered early on that, as a pediatrician she would have to do more research than be with kids. To be more interactive with kids, she looked towards teaching. Also, as she was growing up, she had been asked to do a lot of babysitting. “I love the younger kids,” said Adrian. She worked in Fergus Falls, Minn., as a student teacher. “With that experience, it made me realize I prefer the younger students.” Adrian is also the junior high girls’ basketball coach. Adrian chose Philip because it is close to home and it is a small town. “Those were two of my requirements when I graduated,” said Adrian. “Fergen Falls is a big town. Being in the classrooms, I did not like the system being so structured and set for you. Here I get more freedom with the curriculum. And, I’m from a small town. “Why Philip? Honestly, the way I was treated in the interview with Mr. Morehart, I felt completely relaxed like I belonged here.” She did receive offers from nearby communities. “The first day was exhausting,” said Adrian. “I didn’t realize how much. Getting to know new students, letting them get to know me. And the questions they had for me, and the questions I have for them. Plus, I’m new so they think they have to test me and try to push my buttons,” said Adrian. “All the teachers have been wonderful. So many teachers came in to ask how it went, if I survived,” joked Adrian. “One of the best things was I got this cute Lauren Adrian – fifth grade little gift from a student. One of the worst things about the last few days is I’m finding out how my teachers probably felt about me. My mother said my teachers told her I talked too much. Now, with my talkative students, I realize how my teachers might have felt.” Lissa Papousek A 2011 graduate from Philip High School, Papousek attended Chadron State College, Chadron, Neb., for a bachelor of science degree with an elementary major and a special education minor. “I went for the education field for the love of the children,” said Papousek. “I love children, and I love seeing my students succeed. In elementary, they still have the love for school and respect for their teachers.” “Philip is my hometown. I feel very comfortable here. I can easily relate to it, always loved the community and people in it,” said Papousek. “The best part of the first few days is seeing that my students show a lot of respect. The most difficult part is trying to keep everything prepared for them; it is better to over-plan than underplan. They keep me on my toes. “Philip is still the community I know it to be. The parents are very welcoming, supporting and being involved in the children’s lives.” In college, Papousek saw that for some parents their kids are not the first things in their lives. “That is where Philip shows its small town atmosphere. Lissa Papousek – sixth grade “Something else that has made it so easy is the support from other teachers, and their offering to help has been outstanding,” said Papousek. “I love teaching and these first few days, well, when other teachers stated, ‘You came back,” I said, ‘Oh yeah!’ ” Kelsey Hostutler A 2010 graduate from Philip High School, Hostutler graduated Kelsey Hostutler – Milesvile from Chadron State College, Chadron, Neb., with a major in elementary education and a minor in special education. The reasons that Hostutler entered the education field were, “My teachers in grade school and high school, and helping my little brother with school.” The Haakon School District had an opening that, for Hostutler, was close to home. The country school aspect was a bit different. “Country school brings on a huge challenge, trying to organize all the grades and teach them all, but I love the atmosphere of the school,” said Hostutler. She said the first few days were good. “The worst thing so far, I had a parent come in and tell me a student cried after school, they did not want to come back to school. The best thing is getting to know my students,” said Hostulter. “The community, school and where I work are awesome. I have a great group of supportive families.” Hostutler will be getting married over Labor Day weekend. Her email address through the school district already reflects her married name of McDaniel. “As far as starting my first year of teaching and getting married all in the same month, the word stress doesn’t cut it. I have great people helping me out, from my fiancé, my family, his family and family friends. I couldn’t do it without my mom; she helped me get my classroom set up and is doing more than her share for preparing for the wedding.” Highway 73 chip seal underway The South Dakota Department of Transportation has begun chip seal and fog seal applications to the surface of a 25-mile stretch of Highway 73, from Philip north to Billsburg. Work began on this stretch of highway Aug. 10. It will take crews into next week to complete both the chip seal and the fog seal. Traffic has been reduced to one lane and guided through the work areas with the use of flaggers and a pilot car. Delays of up to 15 minutes were forecast while traveling through the work areas during daytime hours. Loose gravel and fresh oil were present for a period of 36 to 72 hours after each day’s chip seal application. It was recommended that, during this time, traffic reduce speed to 40 miles per hour or use an alternate route.

AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY … please take your Christmas gifts for the veterans to Kay Ainslie’s house in early September. Thank you. A blood drive is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 8, at the Philip High School’s Fine Arts Building, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The drive is sponsored by the local Philip Knights of Columbus council #2679. For more information or to schedule a donation time, contact Rick Palecek at 859-2525. If you are feeling well, donate blood. United Blood Services holds community blood drives to stock hospital shelves for this year’s flu and back to school seasons. During the fall and winter flu season, they encourage healthy people to keep their donation appointments, since many regular donors find themselves fighting the flu. This is also a good time of year for “first time donors” to help patients who are counting on a volunteer to provide the blood that they need. Your donation will make a difference for those who are fighting cancer, having a surgery or facing an emergency. If you have received the flu shot there’s no impact on your ability to donate blood, you can receive the shot and donate blood that same day. Brittany Sigel, donor recruitment manager at United Blood Services, Rapid City, said that, although donors might have other things to do, patients continue to need blood. Nearly 185 blood donations are required each week to meet the needs of area hospital patients.” Eligible blood donors are encouraged to give blood three or four times a year to keep hospital shelves stocked with lifesaving blood. Sigel urged residents to adopt United Blood Services’ slogan: “Find the Hero in You.” Make time to save lives, or recruit others in your place if you are unable to give. Each donation can save up to two people’s lives. To encourage the habit of blood donation, United Blood Services has expanded its rewards program. Donors can earn points for donating frequently and staying involved. The points are redeemable for movie and restaurant gift certificates and other prizes. Anyone interested in donating at a local blood drive or at a donation center may contact Rapid City at 605-646-2625, Mitchell at 605-996-3688, or visit www.bloodhero.com to schedule an appointment. To save time, donors can now fill out their health history questionnaire online at www.unitedbloodservices.org the day of their donation. To donate blood, volunteers must be at least 16 years old and be in good health.

Lookin’ Around Syd Iwan Fear “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” This well-known statement was made by FDR in his first inaugural address in 1933. At the time, the country was in the throws of the Great Depression, the Dirty Thirties, and other unpleasant circumstances. My dad would sometimes tell of those years when it was hard to find jobs and to raise anything on the ranch due to drought and the invasion of locusts and Mormon crickets. It was a very stressful time, and people didn’t always know how they were going to support themselves and manage to exist. Most people did survive, but it wasn’t easy. They sort of had to put fear on the shelf, work hard, and get by with what little they had. All of us probably have our own personal fears that we have to deal with. Some are physical and some are mental. Who of us in this area, for instance, can come across a rattlesnake without getting “zero at the bone” as one poet puts it. I’m not a big fan of bats either, and huge spiders don’t do much for me if they’re in the house. As Dorothy says in the Wizard of Oz, “Lions and tigers and bears. Oh, my! Lions and tigers and bears. Oh my!” Fortunately, we have very few tigers and bears right around here although the occasional lion may be seen. I’ve never experienced any of them up close and personal, however, and that is fine with me. One mental fear that is quite common would be the possibility of making a fool of oneself. I know a number of people who find it very difficult to speak in public for that reason. They are afraid they’ll say something stupid and be laughed at or thought poorly of. I don’t worry very much about that and can usually talk in front of a bunch of people without my nerves acting up. I have misspoken a few times when I wished I hadn’t, but no terrible things have happened because of it. If you’ve ever performed a difficult piano piece in front of people who know music, you may have, at the time, suffered from sweating palms and a case of the jitters. I’ve played difficult pieces in public quite a few times in my lifetime, but I’m still here and I’ll probably do it again on occasion. If I have music in front of me to go by, then my nervousness is minimal. If I’m trying to play by memory, however, my brow might sweat a touch. Then we come to weather. Who can glimpse a heavy black cloud heading your way and stay completely calm? They are particularly nasty when they have one of those funnel things dangling out below. Even a combination of heavy rain, hail, and strong wind can give one pause. Blizzards aren’t exactly restful either. A person just has to find a safe place to weather the storm and wait for them to get over. Luckily we don’t have any hurricanes here in the middle of the country which I consider to be a very good deal. Incidentally, it is not much fun to be at sea when the waves are really high. Your ship labors to climb one towering wave before falling over into the trough in front of the next one, and on and on. Been there. Done that. Don’t need to do it again. Most of us, too, don’t relish the thought of getting old. We see some older folks who can’t get around very well, maybe can’t see or hear worth a toot, or are suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s. We know those things are possible for us, but we sincerely would like to avoid them. So far, my hearing is fine if people would just speak up instead of mumbling around a lot. My sight, though, is a concern. At present, my right eye has sustained some damage from macular degeneration so things are a bit fuzzy and my night vision is impaired. So far, the left eye has escaped damage, and I am popping special eye vitamins trying to keep it that way. Since I am visually oriented more than hearing oriented, I would not like to be unable to read books, play the piano from music scores, and fully enjoy pretty sights. I often pray that my sight will not be badly impaired, and I am hoping for the best. Praying, incidentally, is quite a good cure for fear in case you aren’t in the habit of using if for that. I use it all the time and highly recommend it. Since I know the Lord loves me and has promised to take care of me, I’ll just continue to trust in him and enlist his help as necessary. With prayer in our arsenal, we can say as Rear Admiral Farragut proclaimed at the Battle of Mobile Bay, “Damn the torpedos! Full speed ahead!” This worked out well for Admiral Farragut, and he won a resounding victory. With prayer in our corner we may quite possibly get the victory as well. To the Editor Pioneer Review | 859-2516 Dear Sir/Ma’am, 9/11 was truly a horrific day for all of us. What do you think of when you reflect on that day? How many of you give a thought for the thousands, including myself, who are dying every day as a result of those terrible attacks; the Ground Zero workers? We were firefighters, construction workers, law enforcement, relief workers and medical personnel. We came from every walk of life, every state and all but two congressional districts. We answered the call after the worst attack on our soil. But we are paying a terrible price for our service. Well over 1,000 responders have died from 9/11 related illnesses. Over 2,500 of us have cancer. We are far more prone to suffer from autoimmune disorders, as well as a whole host of other ailments. 9/11 dust caused pregnancy complications in expecting mothers. According to a 2006 medical study, those personnel who inhaled Ground Zero air essentially lost 12 years of lifespan. Please remember us who are still bearing a burden for the 9/11 attacks. We can’t forget. “Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.” – Abraham Lincoln. Country Praises /s/ Richard Rezac Highmore SD *** Letter to the Editor, Have you noticed how nice the Fire Hall Park look this summer? Thank you, boys and the Matts. The Haakon County Young Women have kept the Kiddie Park in fine shape, too. Thank you for the Thursday night entertainment and movie. Where were the parent movie nights? /s/ Gloria French Philip, SD Del Bartels | newsdesk@pioneer-review.com Old habits I set my stuff down on the front step, so my hands are free when I open the door. I reach to greet a wagging body of excitement whose greatest joy is my coming home. But my dog is not there. There is only silence. As I pass through the kitchen, I automatically look to see if the water bowl needs filling. The bowl was washed and stored away days ago. I miss the sound of the dog dish being nose-scooted across the floor as a theatrical request for a snack. A bag of dog food sits in the hallway, waiting to be given to some other dog owner who can use it. The treats in the cupboard will probably go to the same place. I mowed the backyard about two weeks ago, before .... When it needs mowing again, the area in the corner should be seeded with grass. No matter the smoothing of the surface, seeding, mowing and everything else to make that spot match the rest of the yard, that spot will always be a somber reminder to me and my kids. The leash next to the door will probably stay there for quite awhile. It used to be that each time the door knob was reached for, a long-eared head would pop up to intently watch if I was also reaching for her leash. The leash and the swinging of car keys meant a ride. It didn’t matter to where or how long, it was a car ride! The old joke about dogs enjoying the wind in their faces, ears acting like flopping airplane wings is true. There will be no more car rides. I have lost dogs before. Old age is a gradual part of the friendship and devotion given by a dog. This, though, is the first time my best friend has been taken by something other than old age. As with my previous dogs, my first when I was in elementary school, it will take time to not relive the sad times. But, those memories will fade, as all the good memories push them out. Now, a blessed part of my life is gone. My daughters and son helped dig the grave. Each helped return the first shovels of sod, respectfully and tearfully laid on a great part of the past seven years of their lives. No one else was present, just family saying farewell to a family member. I grab the TV remote and check to not sit on the dog as she rushes to claim her spot next to where I will sit. Now, the couch is empty and the remote is unwanted. I wake early to go jogging, dreading it. I will continue exercising, but now it will be alone, with no “coach” encouraging me to not walk but to jog on. I see a rabbit and instinctively clench my end of the leash, which I am not carrying because .... Dog hair on the bed, dog “art” on the inside of the living room and car windows, echoing howls at a teasing cat across the street, mournful appeals as I try to not share the last bite of leftovers, unbelieving stares from the window as I leave for work, a fearless attack against a pit bull that came too close to her home, making strangers want to pet her, not eating until I return home, a wet nose when I roll over in bed.... I will joyously embrace all the “bads,” as if she was still here. I will also embrace all the goods, often the very same things. Ravellette Publications, Inc.

Financing agriculture The South Dakota Department of Agriculture has financial programs available for agricultural producers and agricultural related businesses. The Department of Agriculture’s financial programs partner with lenders across the state to provide borrowers with lower interest rates. Programs are available for beginning farmers, livestock purchases, facility expansion, grain storage, manure management projects, and value added businesses. “We have seen a lot of interest across the state in livestock development lately and our financial programs are a perfect fit for these projects. What a great way to diversify your farming operation or allow for a son or daughter to come back to the farm,” said Paul Kostboth, director of agriculture development for the South Dakota Department of Agriculture. Tax exempt bond programs at the department can assist beginning farmers, agricultural processing businesses, and livestock facilities, such as dairies or hog confinements, in obtaining lower interest rates on loans obtained through their local lenders. Participation loans are also available for farmers and ranchers in South Dakota. The department partners with local lenders to finance livestock purchases and facility expansion projects. For additional information on any of the financial programs offered through the South Dakota Department of Agriculture, contact Terri LaBrie, finance administrator, at 605-773-5436.

(Fuddy) Hansen, inventor, patent holder, and manufacturer of labor saving devices being exhibited and sold here at The Fest. There are hundreds or probably thousands of booths here on 50 acres at Mitchell, S.D., exhibiting every conceivable product needed and unneeded for farming and ranching. Everything from A to Z is here, from Big Iron and Big Dollar stuff down to South Dakota State University ice cream. Today, Tuesday, was rained out due to heavy rain, wind, thunder, and possible death due to lightning strikes. There are probably 1,000 metal poles in the air waiting to attract 50,000 volts and make your hair stand up on end if you survive. Better safe than sorry. Today, we missed out on the rainfall simulator, livestock chute demos, the top 10 ways to run more cows on the same grass and free ice cream, in addition to looking at expensive combines and even bigger tractors. Tomorrow, we will be open for sure and you must be there to partake of nozzle selection for new crop technologies, pedal pull and the grain market outlook. Come to see us in lot 65 in the southeast corner of the farm. Here at the Fest there is a newspaper called the Advisor. Several articles caught my interest: “Pork Production will reach a record 24.6 billion pounds this year, exceeding beef output for the first time in 63 years.” “Dirt-like concrete choking corn Socials News as dry spell damaging crops.” This article contained 36 column inches of every conceivable gloom and doom projection of why the corn crop is ruined this year. “Damage from Tianjin, China, blasts keeps John Deere factory closed.” Huge explosions there last week killed more than 100 people. We got to the Fest early and witnessed a never ending stream of vehicles coming on in. A high percentage of those vehicles were pickups and the vast majority of the pickups were shiny, new four door super cab club cab models. There were very few extended cab and only one or two old fashioned regular pickups. There is a lot of money here. Fuddy was running hard all day demonstrating his inventions and they are selling fast. I helped as I could so Fuddy could take a break once in awhile. The Obama mask was popular. There are many, many kinds of seed corn available for sale here and I studied some of the literature. For example, Pioneer brand has extensive information on 91114 day corn. Hoegemeyer seed corn has detailed maps and recommends 86 day corn for Haakon County. "It has very good ear flex for an early maturing hybrid, strong emergence, and above-average Goss’s Wilt tolerance.” Beautiful pictures are provided of 11 nasty weeds such as giant ragweed, common ragweed, kochia, giant foxtail, etc.; recommending numerous herbicides for each weed such as 2,4-D, Roundup, etc. The crowds were thick, but maybe down a little. We saw many people from the Philip area and Barbara will report on that. The Midway Café has been gutted! From the back alley the view is dramatic. The front wall is still standing and the view through the window is heartbreaking. Did you know that Dobby painted the sign MIDWAY CAFÉ on the front and it is still visible. How many of you remember the Midway Café? Many I will bet. I used to go in there all the time as a kid and as a teenager. You could get a great dinner for $1.10. Next door used to be the Sooper Dooper and I worked there as a kid, paying in my first Social Security in 1959 at age 13. We stayed open late Saturday and I would treat myself to a nice dinner at the Midway Café on that day. Even before that, at age 12, I had a job of scraping and painting the outside walls of the Sooper Dooper. I don’t remember what I got paid for that, but there was no tax withheld. The Sunday Rapid City Journal has a story about the South Dakota teachers being the lowest paid in the nation. My confidential sources do not trust the govern- ment to put in any tax to help teacher pay. Based on prior experience, such as with gambling, they know the politicians will divert any new taxes to other uses. Many other examples of siphoning and misusing tax money and fees followed and then the conversation turned to rodeo. Things are still green and beautiful West River. Things did not look so lucrative East River, going to and from the Fest in Mitchell. Fuddy showed me an amazing photograph of jack rabbits a few years back, somewhere around Grindstone country. He counted about 75 rabbits in a space of four fence posts in the trees in wintertime. One of my confidential sources confirmed that rabbits have been bad some years. Barbara and I are taking off for a trip on Amtrak, but will hope to send news dispatches from the Northwest. We drove on out here to Iowa City, Iowa, from Philip today, a very long and boring drive. The scenery in South Dakota is varied and interesting, but not so in Iowa. Out here it is corn, corn, and more corn. Maybe a dabble of beans here and there, but no significant variety. It is flat and corn as far as the eye can see. The only excitement is Waverly, Iowa, where Barbara Raverty, formerly from Philip, lives or used to live. The silo and smokestack national historic landscape, or something like that, is here in Iowa. At Blue Earth, Minn., they have tasty string cheese available and Red Bull. The speed limit is 70 mph outside of South Dakota. The gas mileage was 33 mpg on Barbara’s small car. There was a small amount of road construction and the weather was nice. So, you can understand one is hard pressed to find any exciting news around here. The Sunday Rapid City Journal has a story about the South Dakota teachers being the lowest paid in the nation. My confidential sources do not trust the government to put in any tax to help teacher pay. Based on prior experience, such as with gambling, they know the politicians will divert any new taxes to other uses.

(news from Loren Kiel) Rose and I attended the public noon dinner at the Bad River Senior Citizens’ Center Wednesday, Aug. 19. There was good attendance with 67 names jotted down on the registry. It was an excellent meal. (The Elderly Meals are not served at the Senechal on the days of public meals at the center.) The dessert table was especially loaded with sumptuous desserts including pies. It makes for some hard choices! Sweets are definitely one Pioneer Review • August 27, 2015 Ever thought about learning a new language? Did you know that your li- of my weaknesses. I ended up with a piece of pecan pie and Rose had a piece of sour cream raisin pie. Those meals are put on for making money to help pay the expenses of keeping the doors open at the center. They come as a real service to the community. Perhaps some of you who read this column have seen me out in the mornings walking our neighbor’s dog. I have done that some in the past and Rizzo and I get along good together. She is surely a cute dog. We make a point of going to the area around the rodeo grounds, fairgrounds and athletic field for her to romp. I have a supply of doggy treats in my pocket to beckon her back to snap on the leash again. This time Barry and Edna Knutson were gone for nine days on a trip to Italy and they arrived back home late in the evening of Aug. 19. They combined a pleasure trip with a business trip. Barry said that their free time as tourists was limited. He said that they did do some sightseeing in the city of Florence and stayed overnight one night in a beach resort hotel. Barry and Edna barely had time to catch their breath when they returned home as they helped their daughters, Kianna and Katlin, get moved to college at South Dakota State University, leaving home on the morning of Aug. 21 and returning home late Saturday night, the 22nd.

(I do recall, during PHS graduation last spring, the presentations of many scholarships to a number of the seniors.) One of Barry’s summer employees, Avery Johnson, Deep Creek, also was returning to resume his studies at SDSU. Barry’s sign business crew made some good progress putting up or replacing signs for Wall Drug the first few days while Barry was gone, but later the wet weather confined them to doing work in the paint shop. I see progress is being made in the remodeling and expanding of Philip Motor Inc. The front of it really looks sharp. And other construction around town is coming closer to completion and maybe most of it will be done before the snow flies. The new duplex on the corner of N. Wood Ave. and E. Elm St. is also shaping up. Joe and Kathy Gittings’ project of putting a new basement under the former Osburn home is slowly getting closer to completion. The wet weather has also hampered progress of that project. I have followed the work on that since it began as it is right across the street from our apartment. Pastor Lauren Ley and his wife, Sarah, attended the NALC (North American Lutheran Church) annual convocation which this year was held Aug. 12-14 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. They were there as delegates from First Lutheran Church. They drove there instead of flying, taking a few extra days. Sunday evening, Pastor Lauren and Sarah presented a report on their experiences at the convocation to members of the Western New Hope Lutheran Parish at a meeting held in the First Lutheran Church basement. They had several tables displaying books and other materials having to do with the mission of the NALC. The NALC is a new Lutheran denomination begun about five years ago, founded as a mission, driven church. The main focus of this convocation was on the reality of Christians suffering for the sake of Jesus and the gospel. Much of that has to do with the suffering and martyrdom of Christians at the hands of the radical Muslims in the Middle East. In spite of the persecution, there have been many Muslims converted over to Christianity, a religion of love instead of a religion of hate. Those at the convention who had experienced living there first-hand said that it is a wide open field for Evangelism. Some of the focus was on learning the mind process of those in that region, how it differs from the Western World and how to effectively minister to them. Mike Rounds U.S. Senator from South Dakota Angels in Adoption Providing children with a loving home is one of the greatest gifts anyone can give. Strong families are an important pillar of society that help bring stability to communities and teach core values to future generations. Every child deserves the love and support that a family provides. I applaud those who are committed to strong and healthy families, especially those involved in adoption and foster care. That is why it is an honor to nominate Bethany Christian Services of eastern and western South Dakota as 2015 Angels in Adoption. For more than 25 years, Bethany Christian Services has been helping children find loving, permanent homes in which to thrive and grow in South Dakota. Bethany accomplishes this by offering support for both international and domestic adoptions, which includes foster care adoption. I have always been pro-life, so participating in the An- gels in Adoption program is important to me. Life is a wonderful gift, and families who adopt or foster children in need are giving back the gift of love. I admire organizations like Bethany Christian Services, who facilitate adoptions, help women through pregnancies and find foster parents for abused and neglected youth. Through their dedication and commitment to foster care and adoption, Bethany Christian Services has touched the lives of thousands of children and helped them overcome tough challenges at a young age. Nominating them as Angels in Adoption is the least I can do to say thanks. Angels in Adoption is a nonprofit program sponsored by Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute that seeks to raise awareness about the unique needs of children without families and advocate on behalf of orphans and foster children. Each year, members of congress have the opportunity to nominate an “angel” – an individ- The family of Elsie Matt would like to honor her with a Card Shower for her 90th Birthday, which is September 1, 2015. Cards may be sent to: 224 E. Minnesota, Apt. 211 Rapid City, SD 57701 ual, family or organization that has made extraordinary contributions on behalf of children in need of families. According to CCAI, more than 100,000 kids in the United States are eligible for adoption, but nearly 32 percent will wait more than three years before being placed in a permanent home. Worldwide, the numbers are even more staggering. The Angels in Adoption program sheds light on the need for loving families to open their homes to these children. It also seeks to raise awareness about the rewarding and positive difference adoption makes in the lives of children, parents and their communities. The adoption process can often be cumbersome and difficult, but organizations like Bethany Christian Services work to streamline the process and make certain both the children and adoptive families have a positive experience. I’m proud to partner with CCAI to nominate Bethany Christian Services of Eastern and Western South Dakota as 2015 Angels in Adoption. May the organization – and others like it who offer adoption and foster care services – continue to do great work to help children find forever homes. I am inspired by all families who chose to open their homes and hearts to kids in need, as well as the organizations that support them. The impact adoption can have on families, children and societies is truly life changing. Look Who’s 91 Young!

My husband would tell you that the temperature is perfect, but it is a jacket morning for me. There still seems to be a bit of smoky haze from the fires out west. I can't imagine what the air quality is like for those closer to the fires. What a tragedy for that part of our nation. I hope the fires can be brought under control as soon as possible. And I hope no more firefighters lose their lives fighting the monster fires. Our weather sure has been crazy lately – hot, cool, wet, dry, really windy, calm – it is like Mother Nature can't make up her mind. The cool mornings are making me think that we might be in for an early fall, but it seems that I think that every year. Also, the juniper are loaded with blue berries. Is that a sign that we are in for a bad winter? Several crops in the area have quite a ways to go before they are mature, so I hope an early freeze doesn't get them. And, the days seem to be getting shorter way sooner than I hoped. I like to have as many hours of daylight as possible. Oh well, I guess I'll just deal with it, hopefully without too much whining. The garden is doing fine. I've been canning green beans and tomatoes, as well as some dill pickles. It will soon be time to make some jalapeno poppers and get them in the freezer so we can enjoy them this winter. I didn't plant any potatoes, so I won't have to dig those. I'm still hauling manure and rotted silage to the garden, hoping to improve the soil for next year. On to the news – Nels and Dorothy Paulson have been busy working on equipment, which seems to be the norm for a lot of people around these parts. I guess these machines work hard and they are bound to wear out and break at some point. And it seems that they usually break at very inconvenient times! (Actually, there probably isn't a convenient time for a break down!) Several people helped work cattle at Paulson's Saturday, Vince and Katie Bruce, Amber and Otis Funk, Otis's sister, Lisa, and her husband and three children from Wisconsin, and Andy Bruce. Dorothy said they got finished about mid-morning. The wind that day was clocked at 45 mph at their place! Dorothy kept a doctor's appointment in Pierre Tuesday. Dick and Gene Hudson went to Union Center Friday to pick up peaches. Evidently someone from that area brings a big load of peaches annually from Colorado and sells them as some sort of fundraiser. Gene brought several boxes of peaches, one of which came to our house, and the peaches are delicious. Some of the peaches also went to folks in the Midland area, so Dick and Gene delivered them Friday evening. They also took in the Midland Market activities while there. Gene said there was a good crowd and the food was delicious. That is such a nice event for the community. Saturday, the Hudson's attended the wedding of Kassy Norman and Nick Johns in Pierre. Sunday, friends Bart and Janice Parsons came for lunch, then the two couples traveled to Hoven to see the beautiful cathedral there. It really is a beautiful church and well worth the trip to see it. Billy and Arlyne Markwed went to Rapid City Wednesday and took in a couple days of the Central States Fair. They attended two rodeos and spent Wednesday and Thursday nights with their daughter and son-in-law, Kim and Jeff Marso. Their grandson, T.J. Gabriel, showed cattle at the fair, and his pen of bred heifers took first place. Congratulations to T.J.! Saturday evening, Billy and Arlyne attended church at Deep Creek, then they went to Duane and Lola Roseth's house to see the new guest cabin that they have in their yard. The cabin still needs the finishing touches, but Arlyne said it is very nice. Monday night, Billy and Arlyne were in Pierre for the end of the year picnic for the horseshoe league. State tournament will be next weekend in Sioux Falls. Lee and Mary Briggs have been busy with silage cutting and cattle working. Their grandsons, Seth and Zane Joens, were in Pierre the weekend before last, visiting their mother, Keva. Zane came out to Lee and Mary's Saturday evening for supper. Zane's school friends from Sturgis, Chase Tieman and Parker Peterson, came to the ranch Saturday night and all three boys stayed till Sunday. Grandson Seth came to the ranch Sunday and Monday before heading back to his home near Spearfish. Lee and Mary were in Deadwood August 15-17 for a Golden West Telecommunications meeting, followed by another meeting in Rapid City on the 18th. They returned home that night. Mary worked in town Wednesday through Friday. Their granddaughter, Cattibrie, will be attending college at Chadron State, so her friend, Alex, helped her move Wednesday. Cattibrie was back at the ranch Friday evening. Saturday, a crew of cowboys from Texas showed up to work cattle at the Briggs ranch. They pitched a large tent in the strong wind we had that day – I'll bet that wasn't an easy feat. They have a custom made trailer that is a complete camp kitchen, which makes cooking on the prairie a lot more convenient.

Dave and Laura Hand were in Philip Tuesday and Thursday for physical therapy for Dave's sister, Kathi. The doctor is hoping that Kathi's arm will be ready to come out of the sling in a couple more weeks. It is tough to be patient when you want something to hurry up and heal! (I was going to say that it is tough to be a patient patient – is it any wonder that the English language is difficult to learn?) Beth Hand and her four children stopped by for a visit on Sunday afternoon. Lani Hand stayed with Kathi Sunday while Dave and Laura went to church. Davy Hand was close by in case Lani needed help while Dave and Laura were gone. Grandsons Jace, Kane and Bodie, spent four days at Dave and Laura's last week, and granddaughters, Ella, Cadence and Reese, were there Friday. Grandma and grandpa's house has been a busy place! The girls are attending school in Ft. Pierre this year, so they probably had a lot to talk about! Laura said she has been busy picking beans and cucumbers. It sounds like Laura has plenty of beans in the freezer, so she is getting ready to pull the plants. Clint and Laura Alleman and children spent last weekend camping. Laura said it was wonderful to get away and relax. Plus, she said it was a true blessing to have so many people pop in and visit during their camping stay. They have been really busy trying to keep things running smoothly and conquer their to-do lists. (My to-do list is never quite conquered – it seems that some things get crossed off the list and other things get added, but it is never quite done!) Kevin and Mary Neuhauser were in Pierre Saturday evening for the wedding of Nick and Kassy Johns. Kassy is the daughter of Mork and Robin Norman and she and her husband will be living in the Faith area. Sunday, Kevin and Mary went to Blunt to watch their children, Nick and Brianna, play in a co-ed softball tournament. Between games, they went to Highmore to visit Ruth Neuhauser. Shirley Halligan was in Pierre Wednesday to help serve for the Jim McFarling funeral. Max and Joyce Jones had company for supper Monday. Their daughter, Kim, and her family came to visit, bringing several boxes of books. Joyce and a lady from the Onida area trade books, so Kim and family delivered the books! Todd Jones and his son, Judith Lee “Judy” Daum, age 76, Murdo, S.D., died Monday, August 24, 2015, at the Hans P. Peterson Memorial Hospital in Philip.

Memorial services will be held at a later date. Arrangements are with the Rush Funeral Home of Philip.

It has been a wild and crazy week, what with being on the go for much of the week and the weather going from very hot to below normal temperatures and we mustn’t forget that wind. It was nice having a break from all of that wind we’d been having, but it came back with a powerful punch, letting us know it hasn’t lost it’s touch of strength on an otherwise calm day. Lisa Osburn, our neighbor across the street, had planted a variety of flowers around their mailbox out front, sunflowers being among them. She does enjoy rather unusual flowers among the normal ones and had some sunflowers, a rich burgundy in color along with the yellow flowered ones. In the mix was a tall, yellow flowered sunflower, standing straight and tall, until that wind hit and there it laid on the sidewalk, in defeat. The days are definitely getting shorter – a sign that fall is on it’s way. School has started for most folks – and then there are some who aren’t starting until after Labor Day. Now, I could be wrong, as my kids sometimes remind me and my answer to that is, “I’m just checking to see if they are paying attention?” Anyway, as I remember it when going to school, it seemed all schools started on the same day. If this is not correct, I stand corrected! Okay? School in Midland started this Monday, Aug. 24, 2015, and so, the busyness of school is off and running. As the seasons change, oftentimes I will look back on the memories of the season past. As for this past summer, I do not get that warm and fuzzy feeling, as I look back on the memories.

Time to get at the news for this week! Reminder: New hours at Midland Community Library are Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 2:00-5:00 p.m., now that schools are back in session. Librarian Karel Reiman reports it was a well attended summer reading program and proof of that can be seen in photos of participants that are posted all over the library. Jenna Finn, summer reading program coordinator, kindly furnished all of the pictures of the activities and treats that carried out the theme “Catch a Dragon by the Tale.” Three widely acclaimed historical books were recently given to the library by Mickey Woitte. They are “Kristin Lavransdatter,” by Sigrid Undest, winner of the Noble Prize in literature, “Pioneer Women, Voices From The Kansas Frontier,” by Joanna L. Stratton, and “Pioneer Girl,” the annotated autobiography by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Karel and the library board appreciate having these books in our library for our readers. Jerry and I attended the funeral service for Bob Austad in Pierre Friday. Keith Hunt, Christine Niedan and Teresa Palmer were also there. Bob and his wife, Mary, were in Kadoka for some years, as Mary was with the Kadoka school. Mary is a sister to my brother, Phil Meyer’s wife, Bernie, Pierre. Bernie played the music for the funeral service and hearing her play the piano brought back memories of just how good she is, she has a beautiful and soothing touch. My mom, Olga Meyers, Bernie’s mother-in-law, always enjoyed hearing Bernie play the piano and had a special song she’d oftentimes ask Bernie to play. Bernie shared with me how every once in a while she will play that song and remember. Each of Phil and Bernie’s kids were at the funeral service – Dana and family live in Pierre, Damon and his family live in Colorado Springs, Colo., and Darron and family live at Pueblo, Colo. It was good seeing them again. Our sincere condolences to the family of Bob Austad! Because of the illness of their daughter, Rebecca Thompson, Sioux Falls, Ernie and Laurel Nemec spent some time at her home helping out. She needed hernia surgery which was done Aug. 19. Her husband, Rob, was doing some remodeling on their home. Ernie helped Rob with the house project almost finishing it before Ernie and Laurel headed for home Monday. Hope you get to feeling better real soon, Becky. Mike and Deb Trapp helped their son, Chauncey Trapp, move into his dorm room on Aug. 21. Chauncey and Brody Jones are roommates in Schultz Hall at South Dakota State University in Brookings. Jeff and Jen Jones helped Brody get moved in while Maysa and Stetson stayed with grandma Barbara Jones. Cassidy Trapp returned to Rapid City Sunday, Aug. 23, where she will start her senior year on Aug. 24 at the School of Mines. Dick and Gene Hudson visited at the Jerry Jones’ home Aug. 21 delivering two crates of peaches before they went on to Midland to attend the Midland Farmer’s Market. This past week from Sunday night till Thursday, Gene and Audrey Jones have had company. Gene's cousin, Travis Jones, Floydada, Texas, and a friend were visiting. Travis had been there in the late 40s and early 50s to help Gene's dad, R.T. Jones, with harvest, etc. They played tourist guides that week. Travis really enjoyed seeing the Riggles' place north of the Little Brown Church that R.T. and his partner, McDonald, owned at that time. Also, he was interested in Hayes, since that is where they got groceries and ice from the ice house behind the little store. Other places visited were the Badlands, Wall Drug, Deadwood, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Keystone. Gene and Audrey's daughter, Julie Jones-Whitcher, and little Walt took a day off from her tourism Help us celebrate Shorty Woitte’s 90th Birthday Sunday, August 30th Midland Sr. Citizen’s Center, Midland, SD 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. (MT) Let your presence be your gift. If unable to attend, cards may be sent to: Shorty Woitte, PO Box 156, Midland, SD 57552 work to show them around places in the Black Hills. Wednesday night, Gene and Audrey Jones, Julie and Jer Whitcher and Walt, Paula Jones, Lisa Foley and her son, Levi Geiman, met Bob Stafford and his daughter, Cathy, Aurora, Colo., for supper in Deadwood. Everyone enjoyed a short visit. Our daughter, Charlene, is back in Bismarck, N.D., and school began there last week. She and a teacher friend went to Medora for the musical recently, it being their 50th year of musicals at Medora. They played western and cowboy music for each decade leading up to 50 years. Charlene reported it was beautiful and the perfect night for it. Medora is a summer theatre and pretty much everyone is gone once the season is over. I was at Medora once with Charlene, it is a neat little town. Midland Pioneer Museum The Midland Pioneer Museum board met at the museum July 27, 2015. Board members present were Cody Jones, Jean Calhoon, George Stroppel, Linda Sinclair, and Jim and Jessie Root. The meeting was called to order by president Cody. Minutes of the June meeting were read and approved. Treasurer’s report was given and approved. Old Business: The depot sign was moved by Jim Root and Wyatt Trapp. George reported five visitors during the past month. Jean reported a few visitors during the Martin family reunion. Two youth, Sage Bierle and Emily Trapp, indicated to Cody that they would be willing to volunteer at the museum. Jessie has spoken to some community members who also may be willing. Linda informed the board that the electric bill is $27.50 per month minimum. She had contacted West Central Electric about turning the electricity off during the months the museum is closed. There would be no charge for meter removal – a $50 charge to reinstall meter. Board approved this plan. Linda will contact West Central Electric when the museum is closed for the season. LaVay McKinley explained his plan for managing the museum. No action taken. Meeting adjourned. Jessica Root, Secretary For Jerry’s birthday Aug. 21 we decided to head south to the KOA campground for a bit to eat and a time of enjoying the peaceful setting. As we were driving down the lane to the campground we passed by a family with mom and dad and their kids enjoying a time of kite ! # Pioneer Review • August 27, 2015 flying. There were just enough breezes to raise those kites and I couldn’t help but think of just how good it was to see folks enjoying a time of being together doing something as simple as flying kites. That’s what we like about that KOA campground, it is in a beautiful and peaceful setting, a place for families to enjoy time out of the car and having simple fun. That is a very good thing! Sunday, Jerry and I headed west down Hwy. 34 – destination, Belle Fourche, to the home of our son, Jim and Carmen. There in their living room was a beautiful coffee table their son, Dale, had made in shop class last school year. It took second place in the judging which made him pretty happy. It truly was detailed and beautiful! Jim and Dale had been to Kool Deadwood Nites, both enjoying that sort of thing. The four of us headed for Spearfish meeting up with our daughter, April, at a local restaurant for a bite to eat and a time for visiting. Her husband, Steve, was unable to come as they had a fellow there to take care of an issue in their backyard. It was one of those spur of the moment things, which oftentimes turn out to be a very good thing. We much enjoyed family time and got home around 10:00 p.m. Carmen had been at the Rapid City hospital where her brotherin-law, Tom DeVries, is in serious condition from West Nile. Tom’s daughters, Trisha Bork and Sarah DeVries, were also there. As some of you know, Tom was married to Carmen’s sister, Grace, who passed away a few years ago. I gave Carmen a call this Tuesday morning to see how Tom was doing. She reported a little bit better, but still in serious condition. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tom and his family. Aug. 4, I headed for Mitchell to the home of our son, Christopher and Stephanie. Very early Aug. 5, Christopher and I headed for Sioux Falls where we boarded the plane for North Carolina, destination, Wilkesboro, North Carolina, to the home of son, Les and Jolene Nemec. Stephanie had bought a plane ticket for husband, Christopher, giving him a chance to visit his brother, Les and Jolene, and to see all of the history. Stephanie and Laura will be leaving for Germany, Sept. 16, for two weeks, having a chance to visit with her folks, Josef and Barbara, giving Laura some grandma and grandpa time, too. Les met us at the airport in Charlotte and the journey began. Jolene was at work! It was off to see the Billy Graham Li- !

What made the time in North Carolina even more special was having time with granddaughter, Jalene (Nemec) Davies, and to meet her husband, Mark. They live in Knoxville, Tenn. which is in driving distance from Wilkesboro. Jalene traveled with Les, Jolene, Christopher and myself for the next four days of tourist history travels. The Biltmore House and Historic Gardens was truly amazing and beautiful. In 1895, George W. Vanderbilt created the Biltmore as an escape from everyday life for family and friends. Today, his descendents invite you to enjoy the Vanderbilt legacy of hospitality – with the ongoing story of Biltmore, with it’s 250-rooms at Biltmore House, Historic gardens, America’s most-visited winery, 8,000 acres of Blue Ridge Mountain beauty and farmfresh dining. When going on a selfguided tour through all those 250 rooms, your booklet tells of each room, and your mind wanders to all of that history in that very large estate. When strolling through acres of gardens designed to be breathtaking spring through fall – all I can say is you would have to be there and see all of that beauty, for mere words can not do it justice. It was absolutely beautiful, it seriously took one’s breath away with its beauty. The history of the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown was a true history lesson. In the brochure it tells that transformation of the site reached a midpoint milestone in early 2015 with the opening of the distinctive 80,000square-foot building, a new Yorktown landmark. In short it tells that this museum promises a renewed perspective on the meaning and impact of the revolution, will complement Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown Battlefield, and other attractions in Virginia’s Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown Historic Triangle. There was an excellent speaker of history in that area we were at and one thing I found especially interesting was when he talked of the Hessian soldiers of Germany being captured by George Washington’s troops at Trenton Dec. 26, 1776. One of those captured was Johannes Schwalm, a Hessian soldier who was one of those hired to fight with the British against the colonists. I learned this when writing of the Schwalm family history and the fact that Johannes Schwalm was related to the Schwalm’s of the Midland area. I never cease to be amazed by where the journey of life takes us. When the fellow finished his talk, which was excellent, I visited with him a bit about the Hessian soldier named Johannes and his relationship to the Schwalms where we live. We had a nice visit about that whole concept. We visited and toured each of those towns mentioned above and on our final day of being a tourist, we spent the whole day at Colonial Williamsburg. A tour of pure history! By the end of that day a song came to mind, “These shoes were made for walking and added a verse of my own – and we’ve walked right through the soles of our shoes.” When in New Port News, Va., Les drove by the house they lived in when there. Many years ago, Eleanor Roosevelt had housing built for the black shipyard workers, Les and Jolene lived in one of those houses. Being there and seeing where they lived and all of that history, I can see why Les and Jolene love where they live. Wilkesboro is a beautiful place to live, traffic is slower paced, they live not far from where they work, below the Appalachian Mountains and with Les’ love of history, that history is all around them, a drive away. And the trees, there are a whole lot of trees. When driving down interstate on both sides are a variety of trees, wall to wall. Jolene said they are beautiful in the fall. I told her she would have to take pictures and send them to me. I can tell you without question it was four full days of walking and seeing the beauty of N. Carolina – it was amazing, too much to share in this week’s column. Christopher, like brother Les, thoroughly enjoys history and with that trip down history lane, he has a whole lot of history to share with his students. It was good to spend the time with family! It looks to be another beautiful day today, Tuesday! We will take it, for it sounds like temperatures are supposed be in the 90s for the next few days. As I close my column for this week, I leave you with the following – “The heart feels things the eyes cannot see, and knows what the mind cannot understand.” Have a good week!

Before the show, a walking taco meal was made available as a fundraiser. “The Mighty Ducks” was the family movie projected on an inflatable outdoor screen. Lawn chairs, playground equipment and the grass were used by the audience to settle down for the movie. Local softball player retires by Kerry Burns I had the privilege of witnessing the end of an era at the 2015 South Dakota State Softball Tournament. It was Craig Weber’s (aka Hopper) final tournament in his 42year softball career. After watching Hopper play the catcher’s position in 100 degree weather and still “go the extra mile” by running down the first baseline to back up the first baseman, I believe he’s still too young to give up softball. But he made a commitment to give up the sport when he turned 60 and, according to his sisters, he’s stubborn and there’s no chance he’ll change his mind. Hopper started his softball career playing in a tournament in 1973 with the Scotchman Industries team, and went from there to play with at least 13 different teams including Pioneer Review, Hansen’s Hide and Fur, The Drive-In, DM&E, The Steakhouse, Triple XXX, and Seager Agency. He’s played with the Philip Motor team for the last six to eight years of his career. According to the team’s manager, Craig Burns, Hopper has a rule book in his head, or so it seems, because he’s so knowledgeable about the rules of the game. Burns said that one of the things he admires most about Hopper is Craig “Hopper” Weber the way he always encourages the younger players and is so quick to point it out when they do something right. When asked about his proudest Courtesy Photo moments during his softball career, Hopper didn’t hesitate and said it was winning the Spearfish tournament on two separate occasions with his sons as teammates. The first win was the 19th time he had played in the tournament and his oldest son, Jesse, was on his team. The second win was two years later and his youngest son, Luke, was on his team. Another tournament that stands out in his mind was a tournament in Winner where he pitched the final innings of a game with an undefeated team. Hopper’s team was up by 10 runs in the fifth inning which, because of the 10-run rule, should have ended the game. The other team Jim & Barb Petoske Retirement Auction at Midland, SD SUN.

And, even though he was last batter in the lineup, Hopper got five hits out of six times at bat – two singles, two triples and a home run. A softball player doesn’t usually remain injury-free during a lengthy career and Hopper is no exception. During a game in 1984, he tore his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) which required surgery and 36 stitches. He stayed out of the game to recover as long as he could stand it and ended up playing in a tournament at the end of the season. Hopper also had an injury which required 11 stitches above his eye and in another game broke one of his fingers, but none of his injuries dampened his love for the game. I believe Jeremy Kerns spoke for many of Hopper’s teammates and opponents when he posted this comment on Facebook, “It’s always been a pleasure playing with and against Hopper. He has been an awesome mentor to all of us growing up and playing in Philip. Sad to see him hang it up, but he has done more for the game of softball than any of us will ever dream of doing.” Sidewalk/lighting project underway Del Bartels The sidewalk and lighting project on the west side of Larimer Avenue has begun. The electrical contractor, Muth Electric, had workers Kyle Milekovich, left, and Chris Carlson do the trenching for the underground electrical conduit to the future lighting poles, Thursday, Aug. 20. There will be 22 lights total between the Highway 73 bridge and Highway 14. The street lights will be LED (light-emitting diode) lighting. The sidewalk crew will now come in after Labor Day to begin their part of the project. Salmon record broken Courtesy Photo Gordon Sampson, Highmore, boated a 24 pound, eight ounce chinook salmon Aug. 14. Sampson used a lure. The massive fish broke the previous state record of 23 pounds, 14 ounces. The record salmon was verified by Hilary Meyer, South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks fisheries biologist. “We have had reports of several large salmon being caught, and two fish that were close to the state record,” Meyer said. “The salmon on Lake Oahe are in great condition because of large numbers of bait fish, such as lake herring.” For a fish to qualify as a state record, anglers must have the fish identified by a GF&P fisheries biologist and weighed on a certified scale.

We were all ready to make a break toward home, but one slide wouldn’t slide, it went part way in then stopped. We could get it back out all the way, but not all the way in. Change in plans come quick for Bill and me, time to stop by the RV park office and let them know we would be extending our stay until Saturday – may as well be sure we get time to get fixed. Next, find someone to fix the slide. Both Bill and I found out we were a little large to slide under there. We did make it under one part but could not determine what the problem was. Bill found some bolts that were loose, that can’t be good, but no wrench to tighten them with and nothing else visible we could see – so wait for the repairman. I made three phone calls for a repairman. The first one sounded like I woke him up, then when I explained the problem he said maybe he could get to us on Wednesday, that would be the 26th, then he went on to suggest there probably was something on top of the slide that was holding it up, (Duh! He even had the nerve to think we hadn’t looked to be sure nothing was in the way.) Or, that the ram was twisted and that would be about a three-day repair. I thanked him for his time. The next recommended person, I got an answering machine and left a message. Then it was on to the third one, that I found a card for in the RV office. Now this fellow answered his phone, said he could be by to figure out what was needed by 1 p.m today. With this information, Bill dropped me off at Zack and Cori’s old house and I worked at getting it renter ready and Bill waited for “Jim” to come. He didn’t get there at the scheduled time, but called to tell me he was running late and would be there by 3. He arrived, crawled under the slide, (he was small enough to get under in good shape) first the offending side, then the opposite one, discovered a loose bolt in a cylinder that was letting it go crooked. Tightened up all the bolts we had noticed too, and it was working wonderful by the time he got done. He had Bill cycle both slides to be sure all was good before he left. I’m sure glad the third try was a charm because this fellow was my kind of get ‘er done fellow and for sure didn’t treat me like a dumb woman! There was an article floating around on the computer that brings up some interesting things on biofuel, which has been in the works for many years, just renewed interest in it and now they are thinking of using it for jet fuel. “What do beef tallow and manure have in common with t-shirts and pine needles? Turns out you can make high-quality, low-carbon transportation fuel with all of them. A growing number of biofuel producers are teaming up with farms, meatpackers and waste management companies to tap gassy waste to meet new demand for renewable jet fuel and diesel for vehicles. According to Steve Kaffka, director of the California Biomass Collaborative at the University of California, Davis, anaerobic digesters, which convert the waste into biogas and power, can be a good way for large farms to minimize their waste and create a value-added product from it at the same time. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the fuel that powers our transportation is a critical part of addressing climate change. When fuel can be made out of waste into a value-added product, there can be big benefits.” Monday, Aug. 17, there was a light mist overnight, but nothing measurable in our gauge. Tony Harty stopped by our place Monday and read the papers, and of course we enjoyed several games of Farkel. His knees are darned sore and healing slowly from his fall a couple of weeks ago. Bill was busy in the shop Monday morning, visited Dale O’Connell, then made his break for the Philip card room in the afternoon. Carol Solon stopped for a visit in the afternoon after she had made a run with the Haakon County Prairie Transportation van. Monday, Don Moody made a trip to Sturgis, stopping at the Black Hills National Cemetery to drop off flowers, then kept an appointment in Sturgis. He went on to Deadwood for lunch before returning to his Rapid Valley home. Sandee Gittings went to Aberdeen Monday afternoon to attend three days of classes for her job. She returned home Friday. Monday night in Sturgis, Cathy Fiedler reported they had a thunderstorm come through with a good rain and more rain Tuesday morning with a total of two and half inches. A good soaking rain is great for everything this time of year. Tuesday morning, Aug. 18, we were surprised it rained during the night and our gauge showed we had 1.1” of rain. It was 54˚ as a low and a high of 6l˚, time for a little heat around our place. The yard is greening up and growing, that means the mower will get exercised again. I attended the meeting of the Pearl Hotel in the evening. They are working on getting ready to make the kitchen workable.

Don Moody had a doctor’s appointment Tuesday morning. After that, he became the owner of a new phone with all the whistles and bells, now he needs a crash course on how to work the darned thing! The old flip phone had its simplicity which is nice, but the new phone can do a lot of things if you can just figure it out! Good luck on that, Don. Wednesday, Aug. 19, Cathy Fiedler put some travel bags in the car and went to Spearfish to meet Lynette, Caitlin and Hannah Klumb. They headed for Loveland Colo., so Caitlin could meet her friend, Jacob, who lives in Denver. He is going to school there. Caitlin has never been out of the state or driven that far, so they rode with her to make sure she made it there. They met Jacob in Loveland because none of them wanted to drive into Denver. Caitlin did all the driving and did a great job even through the rush hour traffic. Oh my, Cathy said they can have that kind of living. It is bumper to bumper traffic from Cheyenne, Wyo., to Loveland and you don’t even know what city you are in. It had been 34 years since she had been on that road and the times have changed! They had supper while waiting for Jacob. When he arrived, Lynette, Cathy and Hannah said their goodbyes and made the trip home. Thirteen hours on the road before they arrived back at the Klumb home. Cathy spent the night and returned home Thursday morning. Wednesday, Bill and I made a trip to Rapid City to get our car serviced for a recall. That took a good share of the day and when we Moenville Leanne Neuhauser | 567-3325 continued from 5 nual family picnic at the Kadoka Care Center where my mother, Letoy Brown, is a resident. There was a good crowd, and several of my siblings and some nieces were there also. My sister, Tish, rode with me to Kadoka, so that gave us a good chance to visit. Tish and I also visited with our cousin, Randi (Hogen) Oyan, before we returned home. This week, I am grateful for our Haakon County Highway staff. The ditches in our area have been mowed – thank you very much! The ditches look wonderful and the road seems twice as wide now! It is so nice to be able to see the animals before they dart out in front of the vehicle. As we get into the fall harvest season, I hope all the farmers will take time to stay safe. And as the ranchers continue with the fall cattle work, I hope they will stay safe also. Sometimes just taking time to slow down a bit can mean the difference between safety and injuries. Make this a good week! Smile a lot and make a special effort to think about the things your are truly grateful for. I think you'll be surprised at how those two things can improve your day! LABOR DAY We salute every hard-working man and woman in this country! In honor of Labor Day, Ravellette Publications offices will be closed Monday, Sept. 8th got home my watch had stopped – it was about an hour off. Darn I needed that extra hour, I ran out of daylight mowing and only had half the yard done. Don Moody returned to the ranch Wednesday and proceeded to get at some mowing around the yard. Caitlin Klumb and Jacob flew out of Denver Thursday morning for Seattle, Wash., to see Jacob’s family. They spent their days sightseeing and visiting family and flew back to Denver Sunday. Caitlin texted grandma Cathy to say she was having a great time and loved Seattle and also sent a picture of the Space Needle. Don took Hannah over to Ralph and Cathy Fiedler’s Sunday afternoon so she could spend the night with them because Tessa had to work late on Sunday. Don and Lynette were on their way to Denver Sunday evening, spending the night in Cheyenne, Wyo. Thursday after the dew went off, I got the mowing finished. Bruce Madsen stopped by with a little project for me to do. Tony Harty stopped by and I took the papers out for him to read since his knees were so bad and we were packing the motor home to go to Rapid. We got to Rapid in good shape and settled in. George Gittings met Leo Gittings, Nemo, and Roxie Gittings for lunch in Rapid City Wednesday. Tony Harty has been picking up the mail for us and getting the papers since we left. He has been the benefactor of garden produce from his niece, Kathy Brown, and Dale Koehn’s garden. He said the tomatoes are really producing. Grandson Zack Seager and I spent a lot of quality time together at the little house. I was doing the painting. Leonard Konst picked up Bill at the campground and they went to the races. Zack and I had a good deal going and he got carpet down in one bedroom. Cori had to go to work, so Zack had the boys while I painted, then we traded places and I stayed with the boys so he could get a little more done. It was a long day, but a lot of work got done. Bill said the races were good. At breakfast Saturday morning, Bill and I were surprised to get in a visit with Lynette Bendigo Klepper. She and her husband live in Long Valley and she is back teaching special education there and driving the bus. That was a nice deal. It was another long day of painting for me, boy am I getting a work out! Zack got the carpet down in the living room that evening. Things are coming along, we will hate to rent it out. I told Zack he was probably ready to move back in. Tony Harty attended church Sunday and visited a little with Bernard and Barbara Herber and the folks at church. Don Moody got some baling done at the ranch after a bit of a set back when the tractor needed 9 Back to school!

He said he also had company again, there was a big bullsnake at the door Sunday morning. He said he steered him off toward the creek. Sunday, Zack, Bill and I were at the house working. Cori brought us pizza and dropped off Ryder and she and Raiden went to have lunch with Roxie Formanek. Ryder was having fun with the one trike that was left behind. Bill had fun going for a small part taking Zack’s motorcycle. That evening, Bill and I visited Leonard Konst. Leonard had spent the day at the Sturgis drag races. We enjoyed cards together and his grandson, Baxter, even got in on a game with us – and won! Monday morning, Aug. 24, Don and Lynette Klumb met Jacob and Caitlin to bring Caitlin home. Cathy Fiedler took Hannah to her seventh grade open house Monday afternoon, then home. Spearfish starts school Wednesday. Tessa is a junior, Elsie is a freshman, Hannah is in seventh and Loman is in fifth. Hard to believe. “Good Monday morning from a cool Sturgis.

Dan Bierwagen has been operating a mill for some time on the Cheyenne River, having cut several hundred thousand feet of cottonwood and ash lumber. A mill near Fort Bennett has also been doing quite a business, and the managers announce that they have contracts that will run up to a total of over a million feet.
