of the other local heroes – the
fire, ambulance, law enforcement and other first responder
personnel – for what they do for
their communities.

The latest meeting of the Badlands/Bad River Economic Development Partnership – Stronger
Economies Together was Monday,
July 13, in Wall.
The meeting’s results, a planning
for action, will use grant funds from
multiple sources to create a website
(www.badlandsbadriver.com), banners and other media to promote
the three-county economic partnership.
“It’s great to see the communities
engage in planning for our future.
The small steps we take will lead to
future successes,” said Mary Burnett, Philip. “Bringing more people
to the table to promote our region
via face to face or through technology will create new opportunities.”
Rick Hustead, Wall, added, “Badlands/Bad River Economic Development Partnership is a tremendous
force for economic development in
our region.”
Haakon, Jackson and eastern
Pennington counties should benefit
from the group’s vision of “The Badlands/Bad River region is an area of
potential growth in agriculturally
based businesses, natural resources
and small businesses utilizing modern technology. Our hardworking
people and opportunities for continuing education maintain our small
town atmosphere and Constitutional freedoms.”
“I love the idea of uniting communities in our region,” said Terry Holman, Philip. “There are so many
amazing people with skills, ideas
and resources in each of them and I
think the more people that are willing to get involved, the sky is the
limit for exciting, positive experiences to be had for all of our community members!”
A website will be created and kept
current for one year by Marie
Slovek, Philip. Content preparation
for the website will be done by Jennifer Henrie, Philip. The content
will include profiles and website
links for each community, as well as
links to available resources. Grant
Holub with Black Hills Video, Wall,
will do the videography work, in
which recorded testimonials and
video sites in the region will promote the area.
The goal of a photo contest is to
get a large quantity of pictures to be
used to advertise the region. Anyone, of any age, who lives in the
area may enter up to three photos,
one in each of three categories. Photos may be of places, people, activities or events that are within the
region. The top winner in each category will receive $100, the two second place winners in each category
will get $50, and the three third
place winners in each category will
earn $25 each. Entry deadline is
Thursday, Sept. 10.
Each community will receive a
vinyl banner with the region logo
and a website address on it. Other
promotions will include window
clings, and media ads at the Gem
Theatre and on Facebook. Another
idea is to offer coupon books from
which people can also win prizes
from the use of the books.

clude several avenues. One is a regional job fair yet to be set, probably in the spring. Others are the
potential exploration of the
Dakota Resources Dakota Rising
Program, the South Dakota State
University Extension Small Business Beginnings program and the
use of the resources available
through the Small Business Development Center. There are
many resources for entrepreneurs,
so this goal will assist with making those resources known to business owners and potential
business owners in the region.
Jody Bielmaier, Wall, said, “The
Badlands/Bad River Region is the
best kept secret around.” She said
that she, others in the region, and
the people at the United States
Department of Agriculture all
think so. “They are helping us
prosper, grow and recruit people
to make a living and home in our
region.”
A fall kick-off event is in the
planning stages. Additional funding sources are also being investigated.
Dawn Hilgenkamp, Wall, began
listing benefits of the expanded
economic efforts, “Meet new people from the other communities.
Get lots of good ideas from multiple people. It makes me get excited to think that I can help make
a difference in the community, and
better yet to see progress being
made.”
Two measurable goals have
been set. The first is, by spring of
2015, for the three-county partnership to be recognized by entities and individuals throughout
the region, as shown by increased
use and support. Promotion will
be done through educating the
general public and specific decision makers in the region about
the benefits of functioning as a region in economic development opportunities. Events will be held to
bring individuals, chambers, organizations and economic development-type associations together to
unify the region in economic development
activities.
Other
events, activities and publications
in the individual communities will
be sought out to promote regional
collaboration.
The second goal is to establish a
business development support
network and a resource base.
These are for use by entrepreneurs, with a measurable goal of
creating 10 new businesses and
retain or expand 95 percent of existing businesses by January
2024. The Badlands/Bad River
Economic Development Partnership will assist current and potential businesses in developing
strong marketing plans including
social media and Web presence. It
is to create a network of young entrepreneurs. It will help exiting
business owners with strategies to
groom future business owners for
a smooth transition. It will also
create a business incubator, including helping find land and
buildings with which to start a
new business or expand an existing business.
Dave Hahn, Wall, stated, “This
is a win-win program for all communities involved. We need to
make sure we keep this going and
growing.”
All are invited to the group’s
next meeting, Monday, Aug. 24, at
the board room of the First National Bank in Philip, starting at
5:30 p.m.

Afton Burns in Washington, D.C., for FCCLA
Afton Burns, recent Philip High School graduate, was one of more than 7,700 Family, Career and Community Leaders of America
student leaders, members and advisors who
participated in the National Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. July 6-9.
Burns traveled with the advisor and students from Parkston.
“While in D.C. I got the opportunity to visit
some of the most amazing tourist attractions,
which included the Washington Monument
over the Fourth of July, Lincoln Memorial,
Vietnam Memo- rial, the White House, the
Holocaust Museum, and much more,” said
Burns.
“I was a proud South Dakota delegate as our
members represented our state well this year
at nationals. Aside from being a Gold recipient
in my STAR (Students Taking Action with
Recognition) event I also got the opportunity to
team up with a couple of friends and members
from Parkston to present a workshop at nationals. The workshop was very active, as we
based it off of the T.V. show ‘Family Feud.’ The
workshop’s main focus was building healthy relationships between families and friends, as
the NLC theme was ‘Together we are Healthy.’
”
Brigitte Brucklacher, the PHS FCCLA advisor, said, “I am proud to share that she competed there in the Chapter Service Project
event, receiving a gold rating ... the best
achievement possible. Her event showcased
the Philip FCCLA's Dig Pink events that were
Philip’s Afton Burns poses in front of the national Capitol, which the dome is undergoing a multi-year restoration.
held in October during the volleyball, football
and cross country games/meets. She also presented a workshop there with FCCLA members from Parkston.”
Josh Sorbe, Brookings, and Allyson Monson,
Clark, will serve as president and vice president respectively, of the FCCLA national executive council for the 2015-2016 school year.
They served with Burns as South Dakota state
officers this last year. They serve as two of 10
national officers for the next year.
The conference attendees came together for
fun and to learn from inspiring speakers, as
well as to expand leadership skills, sharpen
talents and explore career pathways. Attendees explored the fitness of body, mind and
spirit that is a product of healthy attitudes and
habits.
In addition to many learning and networking
experiences, more than 30 Family and Consumer Sciences related events known as STAR
events were offered. There were competitions
in such areas as culinary arts, knowledge bowl,
career investigation and fashion construction.
One highlight of the conference was a youth
rally held on Capitol Hill to celebrate the organization’s 70th anniversary and to advocate for
strong Family and Consumer Sciences education in schools. Themed “70 Years Strong,” the
event drew more than 3,000 FCCLA members.
After the rally, members moved into the Capitol to meet personally with their Congressional
representatives.

To the Editor
Pioneer Review | 859-2516
Dear Editor,
In this day and age it is very
easy to categorize and stereotype
people. With the events of the past
few years, and especially in Chattanooga last week, people have
come to fear anybody who appears
to be of Middle Eastern or Muslim
background. I would like to take
an opportunity to advise why
stereotyping and categorizing is
not a thing to be done.
On Tuesday, July 14, I was
working as a deputy sheriff for
Jackson County. I received a call of
a stranded motorist in need of assistance near Mile Post 145 on I90. I was told that a vehicle had a
flat tire on the driver’s side, and
that the motoring public was not
yielding as required by the South
Dakota Move Over law.
I proceeded to the scene and did,
indeed, observe a lady who was
trying to direct traffic to the passing lane, nearly get struck by a
non-yielding vehicle. I positioned
my patrol vehicle to give a buffer
and went to assist. As I walked up
to the stranded vehicle I observed
a pull-type camper and pickup and
a small car with Virginia plates
parked on the shoulder of the
roadway.
I discovered that the front axle
tire on the camper had blown and
the steel belted tire had wrapped
around the axle. There was a 66year-old gentleman and a younger
man working to get the tire off.
When I asked what was needed, I
was advised they needed something to cut the tire loose. I provided a knife capable of cutting the
tire and belt, handing it to the
younger man. I then began attempting to help remove the tire.
The temperature Tuesday was 95
degrees air temp, which made the
pavement temp well over 100 degrees. As I worked with the men,
it became obvious the younger
man spoke little English. But, it
seemed that any time I would get
into a position where I might get
my uniform dirty the younger man
would tap my shoulder and ease
me out of the way. After I had been
there nearly an hour, I went to my
vehicle and got a cool bottle of
water, which I gave to the younger
man. He took it courteously, but
then set it aside and went back to
work.
The younger man did serious
damage to his hands while working on the steel belt of the tire, but
didn’t quit until the tire was removed. The lady from the stalled
vehicle was a nurse, who then
bandaged the young man’s hands.
As she was doing that, the older

Fast Food
In this country, we love our fast
food. Drive down any major thoroughfare in a big city, and all
along the way you’ll probably find
fast-food joints. You can dash into
one of them and come out in a few
minutes with burgers, roast beef,
fried chicken or fish, pizza, or all
manner of sandwiches. Most of
this is fairly tasty as well as being
quick. McDonald’s might be the
most famous of these kinds of
places, and I admit to occasionally
having a need for their double
cheeseburger with some fries and
a chocolate malt. Nephew Jason,
on the other hand, sometimes
hungers for their Big Mac, and
those are okay but maybe not
quite as good as the double cheeseburger.
Trouble is, when you live in the
back of beyond, you have to drive
maybe a hundred miles or so to
find one of these food emporiums.
That kind of takes the “fast” out of
“fast food.” As a result, you may
have to invent your own quick
meals when you don’t have the
time or inclination to cook. I, over
the years, have compiled quite a
list of things I like to eat that don’t
take forever to fix. Hot dogs spring
to mind. You can nuke one of those
in the microwave for about a
minute and plunk it on a bun
slathered with mustard. Add a few
chips and maybe some grapes or
an apple, and you have dinner or
supper. If you eat that off a paper
plate, there isn’t even much
cleanup involved.
Sandwiches don’t take much
time either. Spread a little butter
and mayo on a bun or a couple
pieces of bread, add some meat
and cheese, and there you go. I am
particularly fond of leftover roast-
beef sandwiches with a little salt
sprinkled on top, but cold chicken
or turkey will suffice too. If you
feel a tiny bit ambitious, you can
grind some meat, add mayo and
maybe some pickle relish or mustard and have a meat-salad sandwich. Sandwiches seem to go
down quite nicely with some fruit
and milk. Chips add a little as
well. It doesn’t take long, either, to
heat up a can of soup to go along
with the sandwich—your traditional soup-and-sandwich kind of
meal.
Another nice shortcut is the TVdinner kinds of frozen meals you
can buy in almost any store. They
come in a wide variety, and some
are rather tasty. Others are fairly
bad, but you soon learn which is
which. I remember back to when
those came out many years ago,
and we thought they were a real
treat. There was something about
eating a meal out of one of those
compartmentalized trays that just
seemed neat and out of the ordinary. We didn’t have microwave
ovens at that time so they took a
while to bake in a regular oven,
but they were still easy enough.
You just had to wait a bit for them
to cook.
Frozen pizza is also now readily
available and only takes a few
minutes to bake. We have a weird
kind of countertop oven called an
infrawave that doesn’t even need
to preheat and does a pizza in
under fifteen minutes. That’s
quite a fine deal. I like it. This is
in comparison to making a pizza
from the bottom up which, for
some odd reason, I felt like doing
last evening for supper. When you
make the crust from scratch, that
in itself takes ten to fifteen minutes. Then you have to let it rise
maybe ten minutes before rolling
man and I began getting the spare
tire down to put it on. Seeing this,
the younger man went back to
work, removed the spare and put
it on, tearing the bandages off in
the process. He refused to let the
lady bandage his hands a second
time.
After we finished, I told the
young man to drink some water
because he had to dehydrated. the
young man, of Middle Eastern descent, politely refused, advising
that it was Ramadan, the Muslim
holy month. He couldn’t eat or
drink until after sundown. It
turned out the young man was
from Egypt and had stopped to assist an obvious older couple in
need of assistance. This young
“Muslim” was definitely not what
the average public views “Muslims” to be in this day. He was a
very nice, polite young man who
went out of his way to assist somebody else in need.
I can oly give this young gentleman, Amr Abdel Aziz, the highest
of compliments for his deeds.
Thank you Mr. Aziz.

it out with a rolling pin and patting it to fit on a greased pizza
pan. Last night I made the sauce
from scratch as well since I
wanted a cheese sauce instead of
your standard canned tomato
sauce. By the time you spread the
pepperoni, mushrooms or other
toppings on top of that and sprinkle everything liberally with
cheese, you have invested considerable time. Baking only takes fifteen minutes or so, but you’ll be
lucky to be done with it all in an
hour. Fast it isn’t. If you make two
at a time as I do and only eat one,
the second one only has to be
cooked after you take it out of the
freezer. By averaging the two, you
may be able to tell yourself you
haven’t spent too much time at it.
We won’t even go into the traditional Thanksgiving meal which
pretty much takes half a day with
the turkey having to bake forever
once you make stuffing and stuff
it in. Then there are side dishes of
candied sweet potatoes, corn,
mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, buns, pumpkin and
apple pie, and maybe some fruit
salad and a relish tray. As you
know, it takes a lot of time and effort with cleanup taking a goodly
chunk out of the rest of the day.
Once a year is about often enough
for that although something similar may be required for Christmas
or other holidays.
Luckily, today is not a holiday
and fast food will do quite nicely.
I’m thinking in terms of a few
scrambled eggs made with added
ham and cheese for breakfast plus
a toasted bagel, and that doesn’t
take over about ten to fifteen minutes to fix. I think I have enough
time for that and also enough of
an appetite. Yum! Sounds good.
Got to go.

Dennis Daugaard
Governor of South Dakota
Being Good Stewards Of
Taxpayer Dollars
Throughout my time serving as
governor, good stewardship of taxpayer dollars has been my goal.
Two pieces of recent news can assure South Dakotans that state
government is handling their
money responsibly.
On June 30, we closed the fiscal
year with a budget surplus. Our
ongoing revenues came in higher
than projected and our expenses
came in lower than budgeted. Revenue growth for the completed
2015 fiscal year exceeded estimates adopted by the legislature
last March by $10 million, or 0.71
percent; and state agencies
demonstrated fiscal restraint,
spending $11.5 million less than
appropriated, or 0.84 percent.
Each year when we make
budget projections, we try to make
estimates that are as accurate as
possible. There’s no way to project
the exact numbers, so it’s better to
err on the side of a surplus not a
deficit. Through the Bureau of Finance and Management’s diligence, we were pretty close this
year. Our projections were 99 percent accurate.
The good news of the surplus
follows on the heels of a recently
released report from the Mercatus
Center in which South Dakota
was ranked third in the nation for
fiscal condition. The study is
based on the comprehensive annual financial reports from each
state for Fiscal Year 2013. The
study compares states by their
abilities to pay short term bills,
meet long term spending obligations and increase spending. The
study also takes budget and trust
fund solvency into account.
In the study, we ranked just behind Alaska and North Dakota,
and that’s something to be proud
of. While Alaska and North
Dakota derive a large percentage
of their revenues from oil severance taxes, we must rely on other
revenues more closely tied to economic activity.
When I took office, balancing
the budget was my number one
priority. Now, for four years in a
row, we have maintained structural balance in our budget and
we’ve done so without using onetime revenues or rainy day funds.
In a time when many other
states are adopting rosy projections and employing budget gimmicks to justify overspending,
South Dakota is acting responsibly. We don’t spend money we
don’t have, we keep our budget
structurally balanced and we seize
opportunities to spend in the short
term where it can lead to savings.
These practices reflect the responsible values of South Dakota citizens.

U.S. Senator from South Dakota
Shining a Light on
Youth Suicide Crisis
Nearly eight years after No
Child Left Behind expired, I am
glad Congress has finally passed
legislation to reauthorize federal
kindergarten through 12th grade
educational programs. The Every
Child Achieves Act would reduce
federal interference in education
and restore control of education to
the people who know their students best – parents, teachers,
and school boards. Local control,
not big-government Washington
mandates, is the key to educational success for students around
the country.
I introduced several amendments to this important legislation and was pleased that two
measures related to the youth suicide crisis were included in the
final bill.
There is no greater tragedy for
a family than losing a child, sibling or friend, especially to suicide.
According to the Indian Health
Service, suicide is the second leading cause of death for Native
American youth in Indian Health
Service areas, with a death rate
four times the national average. I
think it is important for us to get
a better understanding of how we
can address suicide prevention
within our tribal communities,
and this legislation was the appropriate vehicle for me to attach
these amendments.
My first amendment would require federal agencies to report on
efforts to address youth suicide.
The heads of relevant federal government agencies, like the Departments of Education, Interior,
and Health and Human Services,
would coordinate in this effort. My
goal for these agencies would be to
learn more about the current federal response to the high numbers
of youth suicide, determine what
types of federal resources are
available to prevent and respond
to these types of crises, and
whether or not there are any barriers to program implementation.
Tribal feedback on all of this information will be key.
My second measure would expand the use of Project School
Emergency Response to Violence
(Project SERV) funds to include
initiating or strengthening prevention activities in cases of
trauma or violence, similar to
what is happening in Indian
Country. Under current law, Project SERV funds can only be used
to respond to crises.
My colleagues in the Senate understood the importance of these
amendments, which is why both
were unanimously approved. My
hope is that by taking these important steps, we can shine a light
on the crisis that is impacting so
many of our families in South
Dakota and do everything within
our power to prevent tragedies
like these from happening in the
future.

Summer speed
This summer is speeding by so
fast that you better not blink.
Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago
that our heaters were still
needed, especially at night time?
Then the rains came. For seemingly weeks there were few, if any,
days that did not have some
recordable amount of moisture.
With the resulting standing water
came the mosquitoes. With those
blood sucking bugs came people
having to wear long sleeve shirts
or light jackets. Baseball caps didn’t help much and the varieties of
bug spray didn’t seem to help at
all. The crazy waving of their
hands around their heads made
most other people appear to be
acting like idiots, until you realized you and everyone else were
also acting like idiots.
Finally the moisture slowed.
Forgive me farmers and ranchers,
but I did actually say something
against more rainfall. That, of
course, is the wrong thing to ever
say. Because, now, lots of people
are needing their automatic
sprinklers, rather than have
them operate during the rain. The
grass has slowed its hectic growth
into rain forests, so every time the
rain pauses we don’t race outside
to cut juicy grass and then race
back inside to avoid the next rain.
Rock gardens were starting to become somewhat appealing.
Baseball games that were once
postponed because of soggy fields
have been crammed into diminishing time. The season just got
started and now is gone.
Even having a very short memory, like I do, is not enough to get
that odd sensation to go away
when someone observes that we
sure could use a good rain.
Weren’t we just fighting constant
rain, mosquitoes and activity cancellations? Weren’t producers recently trying to get out into the
muddy fields to cut hay?
Now we are weeding gardens
that were planted late, or were
trying to imitate rice fields in all
the standing water. Farmers markets are starting to grow (pun intended). The world is green,
summer weather is drier and less
mosquito-swarmed. Evenings are
good again for strolls and for visiting with neighbors. Unbrellas
are no longer needed while barbecuing. Fishing and camping are
again possible. The heater has
been off for a while, and the air
conditioner has dominated the
family’s monthly electricity bill.
But, again, don’t blink.
The need for mowing has lessened a bit. Haying is close to
being done, if not done. Baseball
is pretty much over. All that work
in the garden is starting to show
fruit (you know what I mean). Is
summer already on the downhill
slope?
The 4-H fair will soon be here.
Crops are nearing harvest time.
Baseballs are being replaced with
footballs and basketballs. School
is just around the corner. Mosquitoes will be replaced with spiders.
Soon that dusty, musty smell will
hit us in our faces when we turn
on the car heater at the end of
summer.
I know from experience that I
can’t slow the calendar. All I can
do is enjoy the day. With an umbrella, or sunglasses, or a fall
jacket, I will still chat with neighbors and enjoy the summer. I just
don’t dare blink.

In My Opinion
Rural Livin’

By James D Stangle, DVM
Bacterial Quorum Sensing
Do you talk about certain things
when you are with your family and
other things when you are with
friends and still other things when
you are with strangers? Prolapses
are acceptable topics at our dinner
table, off-color jokes are acceptable
at poker, but neither are acceptable for the article.
This may seem strange but bacteria abide by the same rules.
Whereas we have a vocabulary of
words, bacteria have a vocabulary
of molecules.
Bonnie Bassler, a molecular biologist at Princeton, and others
have discovered many of these
molecules. Each species of bacteria
has its own molecule-kind of like a
secret hand shake. When there are
enough of these molecules present
the bacterium senses that it has a
quorum and can start to cause
mischief by producing poisons and
biofilms, and many other things.
Some bacteria like Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, which is deadly to people with cystic fibrosis, start to
producing poisons which kill lung
cells and for biofilms which make
them resistant to antibiotics when
they reach quorum sensing numbers. It has been shown experimentally that if you block
Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum
sensing then it stops killing lung
cells.
There is also a second antiquorum sensing molecule which tells
bacteria that they are not alone.
So if a bacteria is few in number
compared to its neighbors then it
makes no sense to waste energy
trying poison your way into a cell
when other bacteria are going to
benefit also. One bacteria, E. carlolovara, which causes your let-

High temps, humidity
in climate outlook
Higher temperatures and humidities across eastern South
Dakota produced heat indexes
reaching the 100 to 110-degree
range throughout the first few
weeks of July.
"Fortunately, the occurrences
did not extend for several days,
which would have had larger potential impacts on people as well
as livestock in the state," said
Dennis Todey, South Dakota state
climatologist and South Dakota
State University Extension climate specialist.
Todey said some summer like
conditions may remain in the
state according to the July 16 long
range climate outlooks released by
the National Oceanic Atmospheric
Administration. "Although temperatures are predicted to be
cooler than average in states
south of South Dakota, our state
has about equal chances of being
cooler or warmer than average,"
Todey said. "This is a slight shift
away from previous outlooks
which had South Dakota in the
cooler than average outlook."
However, he added that the current climate outlook remains consistent with nearer term computer
models which have been staying a
bit warmer during July. "Through
the middle of the month, most of
the state is still below average for
July temperatures," Todey said.
Todey added that unless conditions turn very warm soon, the
overall impact on crops may be
minimal to slightly positive.
"Most of the corn in South
Dakota is reaching its reproductive phase, which is the part of the
growing season where the most
yield can be lost more quickly if
conditions are too hot and/or dry,"
explained Laura Edwards, SDSU
Extension climate field specialist.
"Overall temperatures have been
3
warm, but not too high to accumulate much stress."
According the latest USDANASS reports, corn is slightly behind in development. Edwards
said the additional heat will help
move crop development along a
little more quickly.
"The precipitation outlook has
also shifted from wetter to equal
chances of below and above average for most of the state. The better chance for wetter conditions is
along the Nebraska border and to
the south of us," she said.
She added that current precipitation totals are generally okay to
wet across the state; with the exception of a few locations in eastern South Dakota which continue
to be slightly dry. "The heat and
limited soil moisture could start
causing some issues in these
mostly isolated areas," Edwards
said.
The most recent U.S. Drought
Monitor map reflects this issue
with continued pockets of abnormally dry conditions in a couple
areas of eastern South Dakota.
Looking ahead to the fall and
winter, El Nino is still a player in
the outlooks. "The current outlooks very much reflect El Nino
conditions," Todey said. "Winter
continues to have a good likelihood of being above average in
temperature for South Dakota
and surrounding areas."
Edwards added that El Nino
could create a small potential for
harvest issues because a wet fall
is more likely. "With crops developing at a reasonable rate, this is
not a major concern right now,"
she said. "Development and harvest should not be impacted
greatly. But this should be monitored for changes for potential
crop drying and harvesting issues."
tuce to wilt, secretes a poison to
get into lettuce and an antibiotic
to keep out other bacteria all in response to quorum sensing. Quorum sensing molecules have been
found in 299 of 534 bacterial
species so far and that list includes
the who’s who list of bacterial
pathogens (the nasty disease
causers).
The implications of quorum
sensing are enormous. Maybe we
can find new antibiotics or new
compounds that shuts down virulence factors like in E. Coli. Maybe
we can trick bacteria into thinking
they are not alone. Maybe can find
something to coat medical devices
like catheters to prevent biofilm.
Scientists are just beginning to
decipher the molecular language
of bacteria. Once we are able to
talk to bacteria we may enter a
new era of medicine.

Summer Vegetables
Are you one of the lucky ones
that will benefit from generous
family and friends’ gardens this
summer? It is a treat to find a box
of bell peppers on your doorstep or
a couple of nice zucchinis on the
seat in your car. Whether you grow
your own, participate in a community garden or purchase them at a
farmers market, it’s a great time of
the year to enjoy the nutritional
rewards of summer vegetables.
They are also helpful for making
tasty and quick meals.
There are many summer vegetables to enjoy in South Dakota including zucchini, green beans, bell
peppers, broccoli, beets, carrots,
cucumbers, cabbage, kale, potatoes and eggplant, just to name a
few. Almost everyone needs to consume more vegetables and it becomes easier during the summer
months when fresh vegetables are
more available. Consider purchas-

The Midland Market, held at the Midland City Park every Friday afternoon and evening, is still going strong, especially with the season seeing
more and more produce being harvestable. People participated in the
free-will supper served by members of the Open Bible Church and the
St. William Church.
At last week’s Midland Market, Cody Manke ran a booth of fresh garden
produce from Cedar Creek Gardens. Jim and Jessie Root had a booth with
fresh garden produce and homemade pies. Carolyn Manke offered fresh
baked goods. Many locals and out-of-town guests attended last week’s
market. This coming week’s Midland Market theme is Christmas in July.

freshness to preserve for use
throughout the year. South

Preserving
Your
Harvest”

is a helpful resource. It includes
how-to freezing and canning
videos. We can all try to make half
our plate fruits and vegetables as
recommended by the United State
Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate.
Try the following ideas to help
you add more vegetables into your
daily routine. They are quick and
easy!
•Grill vegetables this summer.
Try 1/2-inch slices or large chunks
of peppers, eggplant, or squash on
a kabob skewer. For small veggies,
use heavy-duty foil to prevent
them from falling through the
grill.
•Toss shredded spinach, sweet
peas or green onion in your salad.
•Add shredded carrots to pasta
sauce or meatloaf.
•Add extra vegetables to
casseroles and soups.
•Add shredded zucchini to your
favorite muffin recipe.
•Blend spinach with frozen bananas or berries and low-fat milk
for a delicious green smoothie.
•Have precut vegetables available at work and at home in the
refrigerator.
•Use fresh vegetables as dippers for salsa or hummus.
Summer veggies can be served
as a side dish, built into your main
dish or as a quick snack.

Enhanced concealed carry permits ready
Attorney General Marty Jackley,
Secretary of State Shantel Krebs
and South Dakota legislative sponsor Tom Brunner have announced
that, as of July 1, South Dakota
has begun the process of implementing the program to meet certain
other
state’s
weapons
requirements for individuals who
have successfully completed a qualifying handgun course and have
passed a fingerprint based background check.
The enhanced concealed carry
option does not replace or affect
South Dakota’s existing concealed
carry permits. It simply provides
an additional and voluntary option
for citizens who wish to satisfy
heightened requirements of certain
other states.
During the last legislative session, the South Dakota Legislature
enacted an enhanced concealed
carry option in order to allow qualified South Dakotans to meet the
requirements of the other states
carry law for when they travel.
South Dakota’s current permit
law remains in place. South
Dakota has reciprocity with the following 26 states that recognize our
current concealed carry permit –
Alabama,
Alaska,
Arizona,
Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.
The administrative rules have
been filed with the legislative research council for the approval by
the rules review committee. That
hearing is July 20 at 10:00 a.m. at
the Capitol in Pierre.
In the fall of 2015, National Rifle
Association certified instructors
may begin taking courses provided
by the Division of Criminal Investigation to begin the enhanced concealed carry including the use of
force. NRA certified instructors
completing the DCI course may
offer a qualifying handgun course.
The course includes the safe and
responsible use of handguns, use of
force and self-defense, and live-fire
training. Members of the public
who have successfully completed
the qualifying handgun course may
then apply to the local sheriff for
the enhanced permit. Applicants
must authorize a fingerprint based
background check and present
proof that the applicant successfully completed a qualifying handgun course.
The optional enhanced permit
will cost $100 plus fees for processing the background check. The
standard concealed pistol permit
will remain unchanged and continued to be issued in addition to the
enhanced permit.

The blizzard of January 21 and
22, of 1952, covered a large part of
South Dakota. To read more people’s stories about this blizzard, I
got the book, “Blizzards of South
Dakota,” by Ethel L. Hellman,
copyright 1970. I had heard about
the book at the Grindstone
Women’s Club in March 1994
when Gladys Smith read us an excerpt from Blizzard Strikes The
Rosebud. Roll call at the club
meeting was a blizzard experience.
There were many and varied, and
from different years. South
Dakota has pretty strong blizzards
at times.
In “Blizzards of South Dakota”
it tells about the four members of
the Judd family of the Murdo area
who froze to death between their
school and home. (Four miles.)
They were Flora, 9, Helen, 8, their
father, Pete, 47, and their cousin,
Cecil, 20. Their Jeep stalled out.
There are many other dramatic
stories about the January blizzard
of 1952, and a section of the book
is about the blizzard of March 2-5,
1966. That was the time I was
alone at Weta School in the Badlands, 23 miles south of Philip. I

A Prayer in Memory & Honor of Vivian
by Jeanie Waara
Lord, we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of
an extraordinary woman, Vivian Carol Hansen.
We thank You so much for her. We thank You for the
precious gift she was and for the gifts You gave her. Your
Word in Romans 12:6 tells us that we have gifts differing
according to the grace that is given us. Your grace to her
was her thirst for knowledge, her love for all things green
and growing, the beauty she shared through her
paintbrush and pen, her indomitable spirit and,
above all, her kind, kind heart. Lord, You blessed
her life so much because she honored You.
You blessed her with a loving husband/partner/soulmate
in Dauby. You blessed her with 10 kids that she nurtured
and so, so loved. Lord, I can’t imagine that this small,
soft-spoken and gracious woman could raise this many
kids … and remain soft-spoken. Her life was not always
an easy one, but she made it a joyous one. In speaking of
Vivian’s gracious spirit, Webster’s definition says
gracious is having or showing kindness; courtesy, charm;
being mercifully compassionate and indulgent and polite.
That was truly Vivian, Lord. She set the bar high for
aging with grace and beauty, too. Please tell her that
we echo Your words in Philippians 1:3:
“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.”
was safe and warm with propane
heat. Of course the electricity was
off. On Friday, Mr. Lloyd Prichard
(Lonesome Lloyd of WNAX
singing fame.) and neighbor closest to the school walked over and
we walked over to their house. I
stayed there overnight, and on
Saturday, Virgil came down.
M.R. Hansen has supplied some
memories mostly about my
mother, Effie Palmer. She lived
just down the road toward town a
ways, so the kids could run over
there any time. I think I have
printed the first incident he relates, abou the time he and the
girls ran over to Ma’s naked, and
she put a diaper on Mig.
Mig tells about spending the
night at Grandma Palmer’s. Ma
would keep a kid or two overnight
sometimes for a treat. Then if it
was a school day, the next day, she
would pack them a lunch in a
brown paper bag. Mig thought
that was special, because they
usually had to walk home (half a
mile) for lunch. Ma would put in
the lunch some chocolate or
marshmellows.
Mig says, “Speaking of chocolate, one time she had some baking chocolate. We were begging
her for some, but she tried to tell
us it was not sweet at all, that it
was bitter. We wouldn’t believe
her, so she finally gave us some
and we learned the hard way!”
“One time my mother (Vivian)
sent me to Grandma’s house with
some eggs for her. My mother gave
me strict instructions to not accept
any money from my Grandma in
payment for the eggs. When I got
there, my Grandmother insisted
on giving me some money for the
eggs. I explained that I was not
supposed to take it, but she insisted. She wrapped the coins up
in some white paper and tied a
string around the small package.
What was I to do? Well what I did
was throw the white package in
the grass by her sidewalk outside
her house. I guess I figured she
would find it later.”
“One time Perkins and I were
playing at her house with some old
pocket watches; they must have
been Rolla’s. We were not happy to
play with the ones that didn’t
work, we had to play with the one
that did work. Finally, she turned
her back and we sneaked the good
watch to play with. She immediately turned around and caught
us. I asked, “How did you know we
took it?” She said, “I have eyes in
the back of my head,” pointing to
the back of her head.
“Grandma would make us eat
greens when we ate with her. In
fact, she would make us go out and
pick them. Of course we didn’t
know exactly what to pick and
they all tasted terrible anyway.
She said, ‘After you eat them a few
times you will like them so much
you will say to your mother, where
are the greens,’ if there aren’t any
on the table when you eat.”
We loved to water her garden,
mainly because we could play with
the hose and spray water all over.
We were begging her to let us
water it one hot day. She wouldn’t
let us because she said water on
the leaves on a hot day would hurt
the plants. Finally I begged so
much she let me water them, after
I promised her I would only spray
the water on the stems, underneath the leaves.
A certain day of the week, Oscar
Karlson (we called him Oscar
Kroscar) would bring baked goods
to my grandmother. Naturally we
would go there and wait for him to
show up. Sometimes it was a long
wait as he might not come until
late in the afternoon.
We also admired Oscar because
of the equipment he used to mow
her grass. When he was all done,
he would hook up his wagon to the
back of his mover and then ride off
down the road with it.”
Thank you Mig, for the recollections. They are the same as mine,
except from a different view. Ma
supplied mnay, many hours of
child care and gave the kids a lot
of family lore and tradition.

Good morning from Kadoka.
Guess what, we need moisture! It
has been quite hot and dry the better part of the week. The harvesting of winter wheat is in progress
with reports from poor, very poor
and good. In other words, it is all
over the board as to protein, weight
and yield.
Jody Gittings was a dinner guest
of George and Sandee Gittings
Monday and helped George with
some odd jobs. Adam Oodgin, North
Carolina, visited George and
Sandee Monday afternoon. He
works in the oil fields in North
Dakota and was killing some time
before meeting his family near the
Badlands and wanted to see what a
missile control center was like. Son
Robin Gittings, Iowa, arrived late
Monday evening at George and
Sandee’s. He will be haying and
helping his folks, using some of his
vacation time.
Monday morning, I was on the
road with the Haakon County
Prairie Transportation van from
Kadoka to Philip with a customer. I
made a switch, leaving my customer to be returned by the Philip
van while I picked up the bus to
take folks from the Kadoka Nursing Home for a trip to Rapid City to
picnic in Canyon Lake, then travel
through a Black Hills attraction.
Everyone enjoyed the day out. It
was the last trip for activity director Kathy Stone – she is moving to
Colorado. Boy, is she going to be
missed by all the folks here in
Kadoka. Bill and I had supper
downtown Kadoka, took the bus
back to Philip, then called it a day.
Monday, Tony Harty did his
usual phone calls and got the mail.
His van went into the local fix-it
shop to get another rear window installed. He was vanless until Tuesday, when it was returned to him.
George Gittings went to Midland
after the sale Tuesday to get a new
tire on the pickup.
Tuesday morning, Bill Sumpter
went to visit Dale O’Connell in the
morning. Dale is busy trying to see
what it will take to get the motel in
Belvidere mowed and ready to sell.
Dale said the boys were going to
come and help. Bill went to Philip
for cards in the afternoon.
Don Moody has been battling getting his windrower put together
after catching two antlers in the
sickle that broke both sides. He did
get going again and is keeping busy
– first windrowing, then baling and
keeping an eye on the weather so
he doesn’t get rain on the hay crop.
Wednesday, he was looking for
some tools in his shed when he
heard some movement against the
wall on the shelves. He got eye to
eye contact with a pretty large bullsnake that was cruising along the
shelf. The snake was large enough
that he was moving cans and
things around as he went along his
way. Don said he poked at him just
enough to get the snake a little agitated at him and it finally found a
hole and disappeared.
Wednesday early morning, it
sprinkled, then rained and we got

trip to Belvidere to look at a pickup
Dale O’Connell wanted him to
check out, but he said the weeds
were too tall. He came back to the
airport and helped Boyd Porch with
a lawn mower project and a clay pigeon thrower. That is what they
were doing when I landed. In the
afternoon at Philip, I joined the
many folks in attendance at Kay
(Weber) Reckling’s services. While
in town, I visited with Barb Bowen
at the school. Barb is going to take
over the wreath sale project that for
so many years our Civil Air Patrol
group did. It will be a good
fundraiser for the music department and we hope that everyone
who supported the Civil Air Patrol
through the years will continue to
purchase the wreaths and support
the music department. I stopped by
the soil conservation service office
to leave some things with Nina
Pekron. I was a little early for visitation for Roger Schulz, but stopped
by to pay my respects. When I got
home, Bill took me for a birthday
supper along the Missouri River
and we enjoyed the drive looking at
the crops. The wind from the Sunday before was obvious with grain
bins damaged and one had even
crossed the interstate. Thank goodness nobody was injured, that we
heard of, but what a shock it would
be to see a big bin coming at you!
There were a lot of billboards that
were broken and wheat was lodged.
It was a great birthday and thanks
to so many that sent greetings.
Jessica and little Melodie McGruder had dinner with George,
Sandee and Robin Wednesday.
Melodie got to spend the afternoon
great-grandma

with George, Sandee and Robin and
took her home.
Thursday evening, Sherry Hanson called Ralph and Cathy Fiedler
from the Spearfish emergency room
to tell them that husband Eric was
there with a smashed/cut finger. He
was at work and caught his left
index finger in a tail gate. He lost
the fingernail and had several
stitches in the finger. He said if he
hadn’t had his gloves on he may not
have his finger. After some strong
meds, stitches and finger wrapped,
he went home to rest for the weekend. He was very lucky and they

are very thankful it wasn’t worse.
Thursday, Tony Harty did his
usual calls and got his yard mowed
before the heat of the day. His
mower bed needs to get fixed because one side hits the ground and
the other mows high.
Bill got busy and mowed our yard
Thursday. I drove the HCPT van
with a client to Philip and while
there I visited Dean and Mary Parsons as well as Glen Freeman at
the hospital. Bill visited Dale O’Connell in the morning, then went
to Philip for cards. I was the van
driver for in town in the afternoon
as well.
Granddaughter Jessica McGruder and Sandee Gittings made
the trip to pick up great-grandson
Daniel Jordan in Iowa Friday afternoon. Daniel was excited to get in a
short visit with his mom, greataunt Roxie, grandpa Robin and of
course great-grandparents George
and Sandee.
Friday afternoon, Ralph and
Cathy Fiedler went to Spearfish to
attend the Festival in the Park so
Ralph could get his chokecherry
syrup. He buys from the same guy
every year. After looking around at
all the booths, they went to the Eric
Hanson home to see Eric. He was
doing well. Granddaughter Elsie
had big news, she had taken her
driver’s test and passed with 98
percent, so they have another
driver in the family. Grandson
Loman had been to summer rec
(recreation?) for the day – he had
lots of fun. Ralph and Cathy had
supper with Lynette at her job, got
in a little visit with her and caught
up on family news. They are all
well and busy with their jobs.
Friday, Bill visited Dale O’Connell in the morning and also slipped
by the airport to see if Boyd Porch
was working on his mower. Rich
Grable came by our place for a
visit – he drove down on his Segway. Rich built a carrier for a rifle
on one fender, rigged up a box to
put what he shoots in the front and
did other modifications to make it
handy for target shooting. In Texas
he said he shoots birds in a feedlot
and has to pick up what he shoots.
He said it was a long walk back and
forth, but with the Segway it’s a
breeze. In the afternoon, Bill

you would all help us by sending
them a card, a call, honk as you see them meandering
around the country, or stop by their house to congratulate
them in person, all of their children, grandchildren and
both Martin and Vera would be so appreciative!

Special Feature
A return to Vietnam, one POW’s journey to meet his past
By Chastity Julson
and Nancy Haigh
It is an era many people wish to
forget, not only the veterans who
fought on foreign soil, but those
left at home and those who
protested so vocally about the Vietnam War.
In earlier wars the soldiers knew
they had the support from the
home front, while not making
things easier, it did provide some
comfort. But for those who served
in the United States Armed Forces
in Vietnam, they returned, not to
a hero’s welcome, but, in many instances, to people shouting obscenities at them.
Past and present met for the
first time in nearly 50 years as
Sioux Falls artist and historian
John Mollison traveled with retired U.S. Navy Captain Charles
“Charlie” Plumb, an ex-POW of the
Vietnam War, to the ground he
fought over as well as to the place
he lived for 2,103 days (nearly six
years) as a prisoner of war.
The Naval Academy graduate
was just five days away from returning home to his wife and family. when he was shot down.
Charlie and Radio Intercept Officer Gareth Anderson, were soon
captured and taken to the Hoa Lo
prison, known popularly as the
“Hanoi Hilton.”
John is the host and creator of
the Web show, “Old Guys and
Their Airplanes.” The show’s
episodes feature John telling a
combat veteran’s story through a
drawing of that particular veteran’s aircraft. For John, this is a
way of bringing life to history.
“My stories go beyond the
‘names, dates and places’ that so
much of history seems focused
upon. I interview war heroes because I believe that their trials,
trauma and subsequent life provide us with a unique but valuable
filter in which to view life,” said
John.
He traveled with Charlie to document and record Charlie’s return
to Ha Noi, Vietnam, where he met
fighter pilots who dueled with him
in the air as well as the commander of the POW facility. According to John, Charlie’s story is
“especially powerful on account of
his passion for helping others ap-
Charlie Plumb as a prisoner of war.
John Mollison
Vietnam POW, U.S. Navy fighter pilot Captain Charles “Charlie” Plumb comes face to face with the director of
the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prison system, Tran Trong Duyet at his Haiphong, Vietnam, residence. The meeting
was arranged as part of an upcoming episode of “Old Guys and Their Airplanes” featuring the return of Plumb
to meet former foes. The photo in the foreground shows Duyet addressing a group of POWs on their release sometime in 1973. “It took a long time to come back, but I am glad I did,” said Plumb.
preciate the power of adversity as
a positive tool.”
Charlie, a Kansas farm boy, was
a fighter pilot with the U.S. Navy
fighter squadron, VF-114. He was
shot down May 19, 1967 by a surface-to-air missile over North Vietnam on his 75th combat mission.
“The Vietnam War was such a pivotal and emotional time in our history that it demands a closer look,”
stated John in a recent press release. “To return with a distinguished veteran and learn about
the times through his eyes is especially important. This is a great
time for future generations to listen and learn from those who experienced the war first hand – especially from the perspective of a
prisoner of war.”
While a POW, most of Charlie’s

time was spent in an 8’x8’ cell.
John noted in a biography of Charlie, that during his nearly six years
of captivity, Charlie “distinguished
himself among his fellow prisoners
by serving as the chaplain for the
camp.”
When Charlie was released by
the North Vietnamese, “He and 19
other American POWs were driven
by the North Vietnamese to Gia
Lam Airport where they boarded
C-141 Starlifter aircraft on Feb.
18, 1973, and flew to Clark, AFB.
Nearly 600 POWs were released
from February through the end of
March in order of their capture.
The first flight out of Hanoi took
place on Feb. 12 and the last on
March 29,” John noted in his press
release.
“It was good to leave then,”
Charlie stated. “But it is also good
to return today under these better
circumstances and friendship.”
John noted in press material released to South Dakota Newspaper Association papers that Charlie, like fellow POWs, would create
things that helped them during
their imprisonment. In Charlie’s
case he used a bamboo “needle”
and secretly hoarded thread to
stitch a logo that incorporated his
initials onto his red and gray
striped prison uniform.
John had asked Charlie to sign
a piece of artwork, which he made,
of a F-4B Phantom that he flew in
Vietnam. John related that Charlie “insisted on signing the artwork
using a chiseled pencil as it most
accurately represents the unique
form of calligraphy he taught himself while being a POW in Hanoi,
Vietnam. Charlie taught himself
this stylized writing by etching letters with a sliver of bamboo onto a
hand-smoothed piece of wood that
had been coated with ear wax.”
The Vietnam to which Charlie
returned is far different than the
country he saw during the Vietnam War (known as the American
War to the Vietnamese). Today,
Vietnam is a one-party Socialist
Republic, which was formally established in July 1976, at the time
of the unification of North and
South Vietnam. The president of
Vietnam is the head of the state,
the prime minister is the head of

the government, and the sole party
represented is the Vietnamese
Communist Party, which was
founded in 1930 by Ho Chi Minh.
Though legislative representatives
are selected by suffrage to the National Assembly, candidates to the
National Assembly must be approved by the Communist Party in
order to be eligible for election.
In spite of this system of government, “Vietnam has changed
tremendously since the war,” John
said. He said the Vietnamese people are growing in prosperity, and
tourism draws many people to
Vietnam. The history of the
“American War” in Vietnam is
complicated and can be traced to
World War II and the Japanese occupation of what was then called
the French Indochina.
“It is a complicated time that absolutely must be understood by future generations. Forgetting the
history of this amazing time will
only guarantee that another Vietnam will affect our children, and
that cannot be allowed to happen,”
said John.
According to the website,
http://speaker.charlieplumb.com,
Charlie continued his Navy flying
career in the Reserve Squadrons,
retiring after 28 years of service.
Charlie now invests his time
speaking to organizations and
businesses. Charlie has used his
experiences to teach people how to
cope with both the difficulties and
opportunities in life. He has taken
his message of the parallels between life as a POW and the challenges of everyday life to audiences.
For John, this is a chance to
share the lessons learned by POWs
and other veterans with the public
at large. These men have, John believes, a message that needs to be
heard and understood by people
across generations and throughout
the world. “I have found that people who have survived the crucible
of combat have a deeper appreciation for things like leadership,
duty, friendship, risk and life,” he
said.
“You will not find greater stories
of courage, duty, honor and selflessness than those interwoven in
the tragedies [of war]. The more I
learn, the prouder I am of my
country and those who serve it,”
John stated.
“This was a big trip for me,’
stated Charlie. ‘I came here not
only to experience Vietnam again
but also to check the values that
brought myself and the rest of the
POW brotherhood through that
difficult, tortuous time. I’ve
learned you can’t stuff painful
memories and hope they go away.
But returning has reinforced that
our group really was remarkable
and the stuff of our story has great
value for the future for Americans, for Vietnamese and anyone
facing adversity.”
John plans to have Charlie’s
story ready for viewing in November of this year. The trip was not
an easy one to orchestrate, and
took nine months of collaboration
among people across the world to
make a reality He noted that this
documentary could not have been
done without grant funding from
Xerox
Corporation,
Sanford
Health and various foundations
dedicated to preserving American
history.

POW’s journey
John Mollison
Aviation artist and historian John Mollison and North Vietnamese fighter
ace, Nguyen Van Bay prepare for a meeting to discuss a little-known aerial
engagement that took place on April 24, 1967 against targets east of Ha Noi.
The battle involved a number of American Air Force and Navy aircraft as
well as North Vietnamese MiG fighters, missiles and anti-aircraft
weaponry. Van Bay currently farms near the Cambodian border some three
hours west of Ho Chi Minh City in the southern part of Vietnam.
John Mollison
Charlie Plumb stands in front of what remains of the infamous “Hanoi

Lo prison is more of a tourist trap than scene of some of the most poignant
and painful memories of the Vietnam War.

John Mollison
Charlie Plumb talked with an unidentified woman who claimed to have
lost her leg as a girl during the December bombing of Ha Noi, 1972. Plumb
was impressed with the woman’s intelligence and desire for peace and
friendship. Later, he remarked that they had both endured excessive hardship during the war and looked forward to better days for future generations.
Vietnam War prisonor of war Capt. Charlie Plumb explained the POW’s
unique “tap code” communication system to a Vietnamese historian aboard
a flight between the country’s two former capitols of Ha Noi and Saigon
(now Ho Chi Minh City). The code comprised of assigning letters of the
English alphabet to a grid of columns and rows and “tapping” the location
of the desired letter via a grid coordinate. This method allowed the inmates
to not only establish badly needed human connection but also maintain
leadership and help remember events that they knew may be of historical
importance.

Sonia Nemec | 843-2564 | home_maker_sonia@hotmail.com
I am back at the computer once
again on a Monday, working toward getting my momentum back
for collecting the Midland News.
It’s almost like starting from the
beginning. At least that is how it
seems at the moment. There has
been so much going on with the
weather, folks find themselves
questioning what’s next? This time
of the year there are usually harvesters throughout the town of
Midland – not this year. Many
folks sprayed off their winter
wheat. Between the drought and
the pounding rains, a whole lot of
rain and very strong winds, then
you factor in below normal temperatures. I’m thinking the winter
wheat was afraid to raise its weary
head. Some folks have begun cutting their wheat, haven’t heard
how it is doing, overall. Once the
winter wheat was sprayed off some
farmers put in sunflowers or millet. Time will tell how it will all
turn out in the end. Last year was
a very good year for farmers and
ranchers and each one knows they
don’t get that kind of crop every
year. There’s a whole lot of hay
being put up in the area – does
that mean we are in for a tough
winter? All we know for sure is
that, time will tell.
Interstate 90 is alive with
tourists and local folks with motorcycles mixed in. It is getting close
to biker week in Sturgis and this
being their 75th year, folks are
looking for an even bigger crowd.
When heading west down I-90,
there are a number of bikers heading east, for they really don’t want
to be in Sturgis when the big
crowds are there, so they go up
early and head back home before
the big rush. Others choose to go
there after the big rush and so it
goes. All I know for sure is that
Sturgis is not the place to be during biker week, if you are the type
of person who goes for a bit slower
paced life. We like to go out to KOA
for a bite to eat during the summer, as we have ties with KOA
that go many years back. Jerry
hauled fuel out there when he had
Nemec Oil, our oldest son, Jim,
worked for Glenn and Lucy Freeman one summer and our
youngest son, Christopher, worked
for the present owners of that KOA
the summer before going into the
Navy. Plus it’s just a nice, clean
place to eat and its fun to see the
tourists and remember back when.
Greg and Betty are having a very
good year and we are happy for
them. Each year they make improvements once it’s closed for the
season and it shows.
Midland has their farmers market on Friday nights, so Teresa
Palmer went there after work to
enjoy the meal and see what they
were selling. One thing Midland
does differently is that each week
an organization prepares a meal
(usually free will offering or $5) as
their fundraiser. This past Friday
was the town library serving a
meal of scalloped potatoes, fresh
fruits and veggies, rolls, drinks,
and many desserts. Teresa visited
with Cody Manke and his grandmother, Carolyn Manke, who he
was helping with all her baked
goodies and his fresh veggies.
Teresa reports Cody was a big help
both before and after the market.
Saturday morning, Keith Hunt,
Christine Niedan and Teresa went
to Hart Ranch near Rapid City.
There they met up with Roger and
Peg Johnson, Pierre. All of them
were guests of brother, Ted and
Dena Hunt and Dena's sister,
Kathy and Garland, along with
their children, grandchildren and
friends to enjoy visiting and having a potluck meal. Everyone had
a chance to visit with Ted and
Dena's daughter, Nikki and Ryan
Thorburn and girls, Eugene, Ore.,
son, Derek Hunt, and daughter,
Lauren, Fort Collins, Colo., (his
wife had to work), and son, Erik
Hunt, Denver, Colo. All too soon it
was time to head for home after a
nice visit with the relatives. Teresa
spent the night with Christine and
got up early and headed for home
Sunday morning.
We wish to express our sincere
sympathies to the family of Cliff
Buxcel who passed away at age 70
years. Teresa Palmer, Murdo,
works with Cliff ’s wife, Elaine
Buxcel, at a motel in Murdo.
Teresa went to the prayer service
at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church
south of Midland Thursday, July
16, with her brother and sister,
Keith Hunt and Christine Niedan,
for she wouldn’t be able to go to the
funeral service, as she was filling
in for Elaine at the motel. Christine and Keith attended the funeral Friday and Christine had a
nice visit with Marvin and Margy
Niedan, Minnesota. Marvin was a
brother to Christine’s late husband, Curt Niedan.
Visitors at the home of Karel
Reiman last Tuesday and Wednesday were Tim List, Dakota and
Roman, Richmond, Ind. Tim is the
son of the late Bob and Lorraine
(Reiman) List and spent many
summers working as a hired hand
for his uncle, Lloyd Reiman, who
passed away some years ago.
Lloyd and Lorraine were twins.
Dakota,15, and Roman, nine, had
extra good luck fishing with their
cousin, Mark Reiman. From the
sounds of things, Mark didn’t get
in any fishing that trip, as he was
busy helping those two cousins
with all of those fish they were
catching and thoroughly enjoyed
seeing their excitement. Reports
are everyone had a great time.
Karel and Mark attended the funeral service for Cliff Buxcel at St.
Peter’s Lutheran Church Friday.
Karel reported there was a large
crowd for the service with folks
having a chance to catch up on
things with family members and
friends they hadn’t seen for some
time, at the lunch served by ladies
of the church. The siblings of the
late Philip and Alvena Eckert were
there, six daughters, Helen,
Freida, Ruth, Lois, Phyllis and
Grace. After six girls, Philip and
Alvena had a baby boy, Bill, who
was born near their 25th wedding
anniversary. For all of those folks
and many others, St. Peter’s
Lutheran, was like coming back
home to the church they once attended and all the memories that
went with their growing up years.
Our son, Jim, gave us a call letting us know Carmen’s, grandpa,
Jim Ramey, had passed away. He
was 98 years old. Carmen spent a
good amount of time with her
Grandpa Jim and Grandma Myrtle and because of that, she has
many good memories of two people
who will forever hold a very special
place in her heart. Jim and Myrtle
was quite the couple! I remember
the first time Christopher and I
went to their home with Jim and
Carmen and family. They had that
special gift for making a person
feel welcome As we were driving
back to Belle Fourche, I remember
telling Jim and Carmen, “You
know there’s a God when there are
people in the world like Jim and
Myrtle.” Myrtle was one of those
no frills, no fuss, sort of women
with her bib overalls and cap on
her head and I can tell you without
question – it fit who she was in a
quiet and special way. They were
great for board games and I remember us getting in on a game of
scrabble. Well, I remember one
time in particular, it was Grandpa
Jim’s turn to play, he had his word
ready, which had some hard to use
letters which added up to some
good points and once they were in
place he said the word, kind of?
Myrtle looks at him and said, “Jim
that is not a word.” “Is too,” said
Jim. “Find it in the dictionary
then,” said Myrtle. “I would,” said
Jim, “But I’m busy playing scrabble right now.” We all burst out
laughing and that’s how it was at
Jim and Myrtle’s. Rest in peace,
Jim!
Jodie and Baxter Schrempp,
Cindy and Zak Sinkey, Loni and
Molly Olson and Cassidy Trapp
flew from Rapid City to Orlando,
Fla., July 10, to visit Disney World
for a week. They spent the week
staying at the Orange Lake Resort
visiting Magic Kingdom, Epscot
Center, downtown Disney and Disney Hollywood Studios just to
mention a few and not getting to
see everything. Cassidy flew home
on the 15th of July so she could
meet up with her siblings,
Chauncey, Wyatt and Emily. They
traveled by car to Cheyenne, Wyo.,
where they joined their parents,
Mike and Debbie Trapp. The group
attended the Cheyenne Frontier
Days and other activities put on in
Cheyenne. They all returned to
Midland Sunday night, July 20.
An ad for J.C. Russell's Store. He was the founder of Midland and eventually started up the first newspaper in Midland, the Western Star, which published its first issue on June 24, 1904.
Prior to meeting up with their
kids in Cheyenne, Mike and Debbie attended the International Association Conference in Denver,
Colo., as Debbie is the executive director for the S.D. Brand Board.
Several states and Canada were
represented at the conference. One
topic discussed was the amount of
agricultural land that is disappearing due to urban growth.
After Midland’s 125th anniversary, I decided to look through
some of the old Western Star newspapers at Midland’s community library. You may remember I had
mentioned in the Pioneer Review
of J.C. Russell not only being the
founder of Midland, he also started
up the first newspaper in Midland,
The Western Star. I can tell you
without question, it’s a fun and interesting journey going through
those old papers and you find yourself bursting out in laughter at
some of the sayings and wordings.
They not only have local news, but
world news, as well. How did they
do that? And the pictures with the
ads and articles, so fancy, and
ladies in fancy dresses. Pretty
classy! It is a trip back in time, to
be sure! Thankfully, they had been
bound, helping preserve those
newspapers of history over many
years. One can’t help but wonder
and admire those folks of years ago
and their newspaper printing.
What a change from how we do it
today! I would like to share with

Greetings from sunny, breezy,
dry northeast Haakon County. I,
for one, am ready for more of those
rain showers that were so plentiful
a few weeks ago. Things are really
drying out here and most everything could use a good drink. However, the folks who are haying and
harvesting would probably just as
soon have the rains hold off for a
bit. I know the garden is needing
regular watering these days, as
are the flower beds and the lawn.
I guess that is no different than
most years, but the earlier rains
got me a little spoiled!
The garden is beginning to perk
up a bit, but it still needs nutrients. I'm already eyeing the manure piles around this place,
planning to get plenty of well rotted manure (and maybe rotted
silage) on the garden spot later
this fall. I could probably start side
dressing some of the garden with
manure right now if I find the time
and energy. It seems that there is
always something else that needs
doing. I have been getting some of
the mowing caught up, so that
makes me feel like things are a little less out of control – I need to
get over being a control freak! It
would probably mean less stress in
my life.
Gathering news this week was
an epic fail on my part. I had to be
gone Monday, so thank goodness
for my good neighbors who sent
their news by email or left me a
phone message. Where would we
be without technology?
Nels and Dorothy Paulson have
been close to home this past week.
Dorothy said Nels is busy putting
up hay as are a lot of other people,
I might add. There are lots of bales
around the country. Dorothy attended church at Deep Creek Saturday evening.
Lola Roseth went to her sister,
Linda Smith's, home Thursday to
visit with their cousins, Marvin
and Margy Niedan. The Niedans
live in Minnesota and they were
back to attend Clifford Buxcel's funeral. Lola's sister, Gay Tollefson,
joined the group and they all went
to see their mother, Joy Klima, at
the nursing home in Philip. Friday, Lola attended funeral services
for Clifford Buxcel. Duane Roseth
went to the Black Hills Friday afternoon to daughter Kayce and
son-in-law John Gerlach's cabin.
Duane and Lola's son, Rhett, and
a friend of his met the group at the
cabin and they all went four
wheeling. Duane returned home
Saturday night.
Dave and Laura Hand went to
Rapid City Tuesday to get supplies
and do some shopping. Friday,
they left for a wedding in Dickinson, N.D. Laura's brother's son
was getting married Saturday.
They stopped at Keldron where
Laura's other brother lives to
spend the night and Saturday they
drove on up to Dickenson for the
wedding. Laura said it was green
and the crops looked lush all the
way. They returned by way of the
Enchanted Highway, which was
spectacular. Dave's sister, Kathi
Hand, arrived for a visit Monday
afternoon. Tracey and Madison
Hand flew to Kennewick, Wash.,
and drove back with her. Kathi
will be spending about a month
visiting with family here. When
she arrived, there were three little
Hand girls, Ella, Cadence and
Reese, to welcome her back to
South Dakota. The girls are the
daughters of Mike and Michelle
Hand.
Dick and Gene Hudson went to
church Saturday night. Sunday,
we went up to Whitewood to visit
Dick's sister, Jean Keffeler, and
they took a different route to see
some different country. They went
by way of Robbs Flat, up to Highway 212 and on to Newell for dinner and then up to Whitewood.
They arrived home in time to have
supper with the Johnsons to celebrate grandson Noah's birthday.
Gene said they saw a lot of hay
that had been put up and or was in
the process of being put up, but
there was no combining being
done north and west of here. Gene
says she sure wishes it would rain
so she could let up on the watering.
Shirley Halligan and her friend,
Susan Sheppick, drove to the
Black Hills Friday and met their
friend, Roxanne Harrison, at a
cabin near Thunderhead Falls.
The ladies had a great time visiting, playing their guitars, eating
and shopping. They returned Sunday afternoon. Shirley said
Frank's physical therapy is down
to once a week now, so he is beginning to see the light at the end of
the tunnel. The guys have been
very busy haying, gathering feed
for next winter.
Mary Briggs went to Philip
Thursday morning to report for
jury duty. She was not called to sit
on the jury, so she was able to get
a lot of stuff done that had been
put off for months. One place she
stopped was the Haakon County
Public Library. She said if you get
a library card, you can check out

ebooks or listen to audio books,
which is perfect for her drive back
and forth to work. The warm
weather and sunshine has been
perfect for wheat harvest. Granddaughter Cattibrie Riggle and her
friend, Alex, came Friday to help
with harvest, and the crew got a
lot accomplished this weekend.
Mary said she was thankful they
were able to come. Mary spent her
weekend mowing, doing laundry,
cooking and running to the field
now and then. According to Mary,
it is hard to believe that summer
is already half over!
Kevin Neuhauser has been busy
trying to get wrapped up with the
winter wheat harvest. His brother,
Myron, who lives in Virginia, was
here helping for several days, as
Myron has wheat here to be harvested, also. Myron spent some
time in Highmore Sunday visiting
his mother, Ruth Neuhauser, before heading back east. Last Friday, Kevin and Mary helped their
daughter, Brianna, move to a different location in Pierre.
Our week here has been a whirlwind, just like usual it seems. The
guys spent the week harvesting
wheat and baling straw. And of
course, when it is harvest season,
it means numerous lunches, trips
to the field, etc. for the "support
staff" – that would be me. Scott
Neuhauser, Bob Spears and
Amber Funk each spent a couple
of days helping out, which was
wonderful. Our son-in-law and
daughter, Mike and Chelsea Hoy,
and their daughter, Maddie, are
moving back to the ranch, which is
very exciting. Chelsea and Maddie
have been here since June 6, and
Mike arrived about June 21. Their
furniture finally arrived from
Florida last Thursday, so we have
all been busy helping them get situated and settled. Our daughter,
Jennifer Tschetter, and her daughter, Caroline, came to help also, arriving Wednesday night and
heading back to their home Saturday morning. Sunday, Chelsea,
Maddie and I went to Kadoka to
attend a birthday party for my
mother, Letoy Brown. There were
lots of family and friends in attendance and Mom had a great day.
Monday, I was in Sioux Falls, so I
had a chance to stop by Jen and
Ross Tschetter's home for a short
visit before returning home.
Today, I am grateful for the gas
grill! What a nice alternative once
in a while when preparing meals.
I need to get a little more creative
with grilling veggies, fruits and
such, but we have been enjoying
many grill meals lately – kabobs,
steaks, burgers, brats, etc. Our
son-in-law makes a wonderful
cedar plank salmon on the grill –
can't wait until he cooks some for
us! When I lit the grill the other
day, I was thinking about how nice
it was to have instant heat – didn't
have to build a fire and let the
coals get "just right." I love to cook
over charcoal also, but when I'm in
a hurry, the gas grill fits the bill.
This week, I hope you'll take
time to appreciate all the blessings
in your life. It is easy to get busy
and stressed and overlook the "little things." Chances are, if you
take a minute to think about it,
those "little things" are probably
the most important in the long
run! Enjoy the sunrise and sunset!
Listen to the birds! Smell the flowers! Marvel at the spider's web!
Call a friend! Smile! And enjoy
your week!
continued from 5
headed off to Philip in the Thunderbird, only to call for help, bring
some gas! I got gas to him and he
had already changed the fuel filter
by the time I got there and it
started with the gas, so off he went.
Well, after cards the return trip
was a problem, too. He discovered
the sender for fuel was rusted off
and he called for help again. This
time I searched the shop over for a
tow rope and didn’t have any luck.
I stopped by Grable’s and Rich had
a rope but it was pretty short. I finally thought of Dale Koehn, thinking maybe he had a tow rope, he did
and off I went to get Bill, only to
meet him on the road about home.
Bill said Tom Williams stopped to
see if he could help. Whew, it was
nice not to have to tow him! Note to
self, get a tow rope!
“There is no scientific evidence
that a stalled car can be started by
the driver in the car behind blowing

Roxie Gittings came from Rapid
City Saturday morning to spend
some time with Daniel at the
George Gittings’ home. Wade,
Melodie and Daniel had dinner and
spent the day. Jessica came out
after work. Daniel spent the night.
Tony Harty visited with Kathy
Brown and Brian Keohn Saturday.
They were working on a project.
Tony stopped by our place, but nobody was home but the cats!
Saturday, I was among the many
in attendance for the memorial
service for Vivian Hansen at the
Philip American Legion Hall. I enjoyed a visit with Julie Nixon as
well as numerous others after the
service. I visited Dean and Mary
Parsons while waiting for the
Hansens to return home. I went by
the Hansen house after the service
to get a dress that Vivian had
marked with my name, it was the
dress she wore to get a picture of
her holding the baptism dress her
father wore. The dress she wore
will go to the Pearl Hotel for their
collection. Barbara gave me a tour
of the old house she and M.R. are
fixing up and some very nice improvements are being made. It was
good to see Alma and Harry Schilliing and Ed and Wanda Artz at the
family gathering.
Don Moody is progressing along
quite well with haying and is still
having a time with the driftwood
that is scattered into the fields. He
thinks that a dump rake might be
the answer to at least group it in
order to clear it. Tom Williams and
Roy Pfeifer are also doing some
haying on the north property and
that is coming along quite nicely, so
as of Saturday they were making
hay while the sun shines.
Wade and Melodie McGruder had
dinner Sunday at the George Gittings’ home. Jessica came out after
work. Roxie returned to Rapid City
in the evening. Daniel and Melodie
had a fun time playing and getting
to know each other. Melodie is
walking well now and is quite a little girl.
Sunday, Tony Harty attended
church and enjoyed visiting with
family and friends in attendance.
He stopped by our place to read papers and gave me his news. We also
got in a couple of games of farkel.
Sunday afternoon, cousin Dick
and Jeanne Sherwood, Edmonds,
Wash., arrived at our place to spend
the night and visit. Dick is the only
family member who was smitten
with the Airstream bug. He so enjoyed how dad and mom, Wayne
and Ruth Fairchild, went all over
the United States, Mexico and
Canada in their Airstream trailer,
that he and Jeanne have done the
same. They are on their way home
after attending a rally, then going
on to Minnesota and finally stopping here for an overnight visit.
The satellite wouldn’t work when
they got here and were setting up
so Dick and Bill spent the better
part of the afternoon working on
that and finally arrived at the diagnosis that the receiver was bad.
Jeanne and I played farkel and visited about their many trips to and
through South Dakota while they
were busy and Dick did so want to
learn the game, but by the time
they came in for supper it was too
late! They had read about the game
in the paper and were very curious
about it. Dick spent some summers
at Bob and Inga Blair’s when he
was young and had hoped to get together with George and Sandee
(Blair) Gittings and Kelly Blair, but
understood that haying took precedence over visiting.
Cathy Fiedler wrote, “Good
morning from Sturgis. The town is
getting busier everyday with tents
popping up all over and the hum of
the bikes starting to fill the air. Will
have to stock up on groceries for the
house this week because we won’t
be able to get around after that.
Warm week with no moisture.”
May your week be filled with
good friends and family. Each day
is a blessing to behold.

Midland baseball season ends Knutsons back from Honduras
Courtesy Photo
The Midland T-ball and C-ball baseball teams celebrated their season with a pizza/ice cream party at the Midland City Park, Monday, July 13. During the season, the T-ball players, shown above, went up against Murdo,
Philip and Kadoka. Back row, from left, are coach Jen Jones, James Fosheim, Caeley Martin, Sarah Fosheim,
Reese Hand, Jace Hand, Layne Martin, Jaydon Martin and coach Katie Sammons. Front: Justin Neuharth, Maysa
Jones, Aja Fitzgerald, Cara Schofield, Xander Harry, Shelby Schofield, Blaise Furnival, Clancy Doud and Hayden Norman. Not pictured: Austyn Norman and Brianna Freeman.
On Wednesday, Aug. 5, 6:00
p.m. at the United Church in
Philip, Kianna and Katlin Knutson will present a summary of
their recent mission trip to Honduras.
“On June 5, my sister, Katlin,
and I left with twelve strangers
for the murder capitol of the
world,” started Kianna.
Below is a preliminary summary by Kianna. The Aug. 5 presentation will include a power
point, many photographs, detailed
personal stories and a question
and answer period.
“Going on a mission trip had
been on our hearts a long time, so
when the KSLT Christian radio
station in Rapid City announced
they were going to Honduras, we
jumped at the opportunity.
“Our mission was to help build
a church and lead a Vacation Bible
School for the children, but we experienced so much more. We
played
music,
face-painted,
showed them hopscotch, and took
lots of pictures. My favorite part
was the little boys trying to teach
us soccer.
“The most humbling part of our
trip was meeting our sponsor
child, Evelyn. We brought a backpack full of presents for her, but
when she opened it, she had no reaction at all, except to say that her
school doesn’t allow the pink nail
polish we had given her. However,
the next day, she showed up with
one thumb and one toe painted.
Later in the week, we saw her

church service during a recent mission trip.
home and it was so heartbreaking
to see truly how little some people
have.
“We brought a guitar, donated
by Mike Seager, which we played
for church and used in our Vacation Bible School. At the end of the
week, we had all of the children
and volunteers sign it and left it
with the pastor, who was a great

Fighting Diabetes
with Research
Earlier this month, I met Maddie.
Maddie is 14 years old and from Sioux
Falls. She’s an incredible singer and a
dedicated dancer with dreams of appearing on Broadway someday. And
she, like 42,000 South Dakotans, lives
with diabetes.
Maddie has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for half her life. She was only
seven when she was diagnosed. Her
parents had noticed a significant
uptick in the amount of water Maddie
was drinking, and even with the increased water intake, Maddie seemed
dehydrated. It turns out the dehydration came because her kidneys were
working overtime and still couldn’t
quite keep up. It was a classic symptom of diabetes.
Maddie has handled her diagnosis
incredibly. When she isn’t singing,
dancing or acting, she’s advocating for
increased diabetes research. It was in
her role as an advocate, a delegate to
the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Children’s Congress, that I had
the chance to meet her. Maddie told
me that she hopes one day we can find
a cure so kids like her don’t have to go
through the needles and the poking
and the feeling sick that she’s had to
go through.
I was glad to tell her that Congress
agreed and that we had made funding
for diabetes research a priority. Just
this last March, we extended a special
program for Type 1 diabetes research
as part of H.R.2, which passed Congress and was signed into law by the
president. With more than 1.25 mil-
musician.
“As grateful as they were for us
being there, we think it benefitted
us more. It was an amazing experience to absorb a new culture and
love on all God’s children. We are
so thankful to everyone who donated to our trip and blessed to
have such a nurturing community.”
lion Americans living with Type 1 Diabetes today, a reality that is costing
the United States economy $245 billion annually, it’s important we do all
we can to fight for a cure.
Just a few weeks ago, Gage, my 10year-old nephew, was diagnosed with
Type 1 diabetes too. His older brother,
Hunter, had been diagnosed with it a
few years back. A few days after Gage
got home from the hospital in Sioux
Falls where he learned how to give
himself shots and test his blood, he
told my sister-in-law, “If God is going
to heal me or Hunter, I hope he heals
Hunter. He’s had diabetes a lot longer
than me.” It was an innocent phrase
from an incredibly sweet and selfless
boy, but I want so badly to be able to
tell him one day that because of the incredible work of researchers, he and
Hunter can both be healed.
We have a long ways to go before
Maddie, Gage and Hunter can be
cured of this disease, but I’m glad we
are at least getting closer every day.

continued from 8
F
you a bit of what I found.
Concerning the local news
columns – there were no names in
the heading letting folks know who
wrote the column, but as I kept
reading, there in the middle was
Emily Hall’s name, in capital letters, so I assumed she would have
written what followed her name.
To give you a little background on
Emily Hall taken from Historic
Midland history book – In 1891,
J.C. Russell built a hotel and café
and Emily Hall managed it with
the help of her daughters, Jennie
(Russell), Alice (Snow) and Florence (Gallagher). The building
burned down in 1907.
The following are clips from the
June 8, 1906, Western Star newspaper in which Emily Hall writes:
Ed Olney, the oldtime cattleman
from Nowlin, returned from
Presho the first of the week with a
saw mill.
Another glorious downpour Sunday night! It has given all vegetation that deserved life and never in
the many years we have been here
has it shown a more profuse
growth than this year.
About the busiest man in town
these days is Jim Snow, the local
manager for the Keyser and
Robertson Lumber Yard. Last
week’s sale amounted to over $450,
a pretty good showing for the time
of the yard’s infancy.
An ex-actor has turned into a
newspaper editor at Grindstone,
South Dakota, and we are going to
say right now that no body ought
to be mean enough to send him
eggs for subscription. He will be
successful all right, for the best
training a man could have for
country newspapering, is understanding the art of “Much Ado
About Nothing.” Amen.
A couple of ads found in that
paper were rather interesting concerning J.C. Russell’s Hardware
Store and How to Get to Midland.
Hope to have more for you next
week. I find old time local history
interesting, as it gives some insight as to the journey of those
faithful pioneers.
Midland Senior Citizens
The senior citizens held their
monthly meeting Monday, July 6,
2015. President Shorty Woitte
called the meeting to order and led
the eight members present in the
United States Pledge of Allegiance.
The minutes of the June meeting were read by Secretary Robin
Opitz. As there were no corrections
to the minutes, they were approved as read. Robin gave the
treasurer’s report for Beth Flom.
Shorty reported that we rented the
sr. citizens center to the Martin
family reunion June 26 and 27 and
received $100 from them for use of
the building. Robin submitted a
bill of $10.50 for a scrapbook that
she was directed to purchase on
behalf of the organization. George
Stroppel moved to accept the treasurer’s report as given. George Anderson seconded the motion. The
motion carried.
There were four cards sent out to
members in May. Carol Hunt updated the bulletin board for July.
No maintenance was done last
month.
Old Business: We received favorable comments on our float for the
125th Midland Free Day parade.
Thanks to everyone who helped
with the float and participated in
the parade. We also had a great
turnout at Midland Market June
12 where we served walking tacos
for supper.
New Business: George Stroppel
also reported that we have a little
damage to the roof due to the
storm that passed through the
area the other day. He will take
care of getting this fixed.
George Stroppel also offered to
pay to get the carpets professionally cleaned. Discussion was held
and it was agreed that George will
look into the cost of getting them
cleaned and report back at our
next meeting.
Betty Sinkey asked if we had
ever received payment for use of
the building by the seed company
when they held their informational
meeting there. Shorty reported
that we still have not received payment and he will follow up with
them.
Our next meeting is scheduled
for Monday, August 3. George
Stroppel motioned to adjourn the
meeting. Robin Opitz seconded the
motion. The motion carried. The
meeting was adjourned.

Midland Pioneer Museum
The Midland Pioneer Museum
board met June 26, 2015, at the
museum. Members present: Cody
Jones, Jessica Root, Jim Root,
Jean Calhoon, Janice Bierle and
George Stroppel. Also present:
Cassidy Trapp.
President Cody called the meeting to order. Minutes of the May
meeting were read and approved
as read. No treasurer’s report due
to absence of treasurer. Jessie reported that the history books sold
well at the school reunion.
Old Business: Improvements
made the past month. Stone
“Bank” sign was placed on
grounds. Sign donated by Jim
Petoske. Step at west door was replaced. New hand rail was built
and installed by Richard Doud.
Touch-up paint was done on lower
part of depot. More cleaning was
done by Jean and Dave Calhoon.
Dave oiled some saddles and
placed on saddle racks.
New Business: Sign telling history of the depot building which is
presently hidden by trees to be
moved where more visible. The
board rejected an offer by a resident to manage the museum for
the summer. Jean and Cassidy will
look into purchasing some frames
or methods of displaying pictures.
Meeting adjourned.

Secretary
***
As I close my column for this
week, I would like to share the following that came in the mail from
a friend. “People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive
them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind any. If you are
honest, people may cheat you. Be
honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be
happy anyway. The good you do
today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Be good anyway. Give the world the
best you have and it may never be
enough. Give your best anyway. For
you see, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them
anyway.” – Mother Teresa.
Have a good week!
