1 $ 00 Includes Tax No. 42, Vol. 109 Veterans Choice now available at Midland’s 125th celebration Philip Health Services, Inc. Philip, South Dakota 57567 Thursday, June 11, 2015 ticipation and ability to schedule appointments within 14 days. PHSI’s certification is limited to health care services already available at the facility. Services not offered by PHSI, such as oncology (cancer care) or dialysis (kidney treatment), would still need to be obtained at a VA facility. The Veterans Choice program is administered by Health Net Services. To access VA health care services at PHSI, eligible veterans must first contact Health Net to enroll and obtain authorization. “Each veteran’s situation is unique,” said Kent Olson, PHSI administrator. “We highly encourage our local veterans to work with the Haakon County veterans service office to begin the authorization process.” Local veterans interested in learning more about the Veterans Choice program may call Deuter at 605-859-2010, or Cindy Pfeifle at the Philip Health Services business office 605-859-2511. Information is also available online at www.va.gov or by calling the Veterans Administration at 866-606-8198. Philip Health Services, Inc. and the Haakon County veterans service officer have announced their participation in the Veterans Choice health care accessibility program. Veterans Choice is a provision of the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act (VACAA) of 2014. Its purpose is to expand the number of options veterans have for receiving care and ensure they have timely access to high-quality care. “There are two main criteria for participating in Veterans Choice,” said Terry Deuter, Haakon County veterans service officer. “When a veteran lives over 40 miles from a Veterans Administration facility, or when he or she is unable to get a VA health appointment within 30 days. In those cases, a veteran may obtain care at a participating Veterans Choice health care provider.” PHSI has been certified as a Veterans Choice health care provider by meeting VA quality standards and key requirements, such as Medicare par- www. pioneer-review.com Del Bartels The free lunch served by the Midland Commercial Club saw around 550 guests.

Philip chamber looking beyond Scotty Philip Days by Del Bartels The Philip Chamber of Commerce met Wednesday, May 27. Treasurer Matt Reedy stated that the dues paid by members are the highest in years, currently about $10,000, about $2,000 more than were paid last year. Some of the contributions from the chamber include $750 to the Country Cupboard food pantry, $500 to high school rodeo, and $300 toward the chamber golf tournament. This year, $10,000 has been approved to go toward the new sidewalk between Pine Street and the swimming pool. An undetermined amount may go toward a security camera project over the Haakon County Young Women Kiddie Park and the area surrounding the swimming pool. “Our focus has been Scotty Philip Days,” stated Reedy, who added that the celebration has been a $6,500 loss every year. He related that the celebration must be appreciated by the community and chamber partners, because, “We were broke five to six years ago. Now we have something to use.” The annual Scotty Philip Days has developed into being almost easy to organize, because volunteers seemingly come from everywhere and do at least as much as they did last year. Volunteers know what they did in previous years, and can do this year. “... everybody comes together, and it comes together. It works,” said Chamber President Brit Miller. Miller said Scotty Philip Days is advertised by the newspaper, poster, radio and other methods. “Kelly Penticoff has put the Scotty Philip Days on Facebook. That’s a big deal. She does a good job,” said Miller. The biggest thing added this year is the dedication of the Scotty Philip bust at the courthouse, followed by a public luncheon and the Dakota Express Bluegrass Band. “Nothing’s really been taken out,” said Miller. This year’s band for Friday night’s street dance is PhattDaddy. As in past years, the dance is free to the public. “It seems like it’s charge, charge, charge. It’s good to have something for free,” said Miller. To put an entry in Saturday morning’s parade, contact Vonda Hamill (see ad elsewhere). The chamber has added $1,000 to the invitational race part of the annual horse races during Scotty Philip Days. Coinciding on the same weekend are high school class reunions from the 1930s, 1940, 1950s and other years. Various groups and organization have inquired about adding their own activities, booths and food. “Especially for nonprofit groups, it’s a great thing. We want everyone to participate,” said Miller. Reedy said, “It’s nice to have somebody there doing something.” Glenn Parsons added, “It just adds to the festivities during the weekend.” Miller concluded that such organizations, groups or churches should contact him so that there will not be any duplications of similar activities at similar times. Though he praised the Scotty Philip Days volunteers, Dillon Kjerstad added, “We need people who are committed, not show up for only a few meetings. We need a committee that will always show up.” Miller agreed, “(We are trying) to get the wheels underneath us again, figure out what directions we want to go and get ideas from surrounding folks.” Colt Terkildsen said, “That’s my view as a businessman. I want the town to grow and be better to draw employees and families.” “This is what the chamber was created for,” said Ron Larson. Miller added, “I think our job is to promote business.” Parsons said that he liked the separation of the chamber from other organizations such as economic development and Philip Charities, though they are working toward similar goals. Various ideas were put forth, such as sidewalk sales coinciding with surrounding communities and with the local farmers’ markets. It was reported that Kadoka has sidewalk sales, and its chamber said they do draw a huge number of people, not just from the Kadoka area. If done in Philip, perhaps a portion of Center Avenue could be closed off for added booths and tables. A possible region-wide job fair is being investigated by the Badlands/Bad River Region. A customer appreciation supper/event was also discussed. To offer suggestions and volunteers for these suggestions, contact Miller or Reedy. The next Philip Chamber of Commerce meeting is July 1, at noon in The Steakhouse. Miller believes the main topic would be a citywide rummage sale with the street being closed for business sales. The other main topic would be an advertising production of the town and what we have to offer. Perhaps they could be done on the same weekend. Philip Health Services, Inc. again hosts students Two college students, medical student Kelly McKnight, Sioux Falls, University of South Dakota, and pharmacy student Kerri Larson, Clear Lake, South Dakota State University, are following medical providers at Philip Health Services, Inc. They started May 27 and will be in Philip for four weeks, experiencing every medical aspect that Philip Health Services, Inc., has to offer. Philip joins 14 other South Dakota communities in welcoming health professions students. The Philip community was selected in a competitive process for the Rural Experiences for Health Professions Students (REHPS) summer experience program. The program is designed to bring health professions graduates to rural South Dakota. “I am really enjoying my time out here,” said McKnight. “I am doing things that I never thought that I would do this summer and I am so thankful for the whole Philip community for letting me follow in appointments, suture, and do physical exams.” “We’ve been together a lot and that’s been helpful,” said Larson. “We reviewed a case together and we bounced off different views.” After several days of shadowing, Larson is seeing other sides, “Why is the doctor prescribing this? This has been really helpful in seeing the process of how they make decisions.” “Every day I learn something new and I am going to take these lessons with me forever,” said McKnight. “I have had a lot of fun being at the ‘front lines’ like you are in rural health and I am so amazed at the great health care that is provided here.” “The best thing has been the opportunity to see basically the other side of health care then I will be working,” said Larson. She said that Pharmacy student Kerri Larson, left, and medical student Kelly McKnight are shadowing health care providers at Philip Health Services, Inc., for a total of four weeks. The goal is for them to develop an interest in continuing their careers in rural communities. she chose pharmacy because, “I’m a panicker, and blood and guts aren’t my area. You got this, I’m going to go sit down.” “My favorite experience has been doing my first set of sutures,” said McKnight. “I was so nervous to start, but I felt so good at the end. I am looking forward to telling my friends about this experience and I would love to come back to Philip in the future.” Larson said, “The nurses and CNAs (certified nurses assistants), how unforgiving their jobs are and how chipper they are as they are doing their job. That job is so difficult. I am so amazed.” Starting its fifth year, the program has grown each year. Each community hosts two students from different areas of healthcare. Hopefully, students are inspired by the experience, due in large part to the host communities and their professionals’ mentoring skills. The 15 REHPS communities were selected as “Best Practice Model” sites. The REHPS program connects interprofessional groups of students enrolled in psychology, family nurse practitioner, medical, medical laboratory science, physician assistant, pharmacy and social work programs at SDSU and USD. “When selecting a site to host REHPS students we look for a facility interested in the education of health professions students and an understanding of how important it is to give these students a first hand look at how rewarding a career in rural medicine can be.” said Cheri Buffington, REHPS program manager. “We are also looking for vibrant and active communities who will welcome the students and hopefully entice them to return when they are finished with their education.” Commissioners approve plat; sell tax deed properties Kiddie Park and the pool. The cameras at the pool will also be set to view the Kiddie Park. The board granted the city’s request. Highway Department Administrative Assistant Val Williams informed the board that Stanley County wishes to terminate the contract regarding road maintenance for roads that serve both counties. The issue is from a Stanley County road that was pulled by a Haakon County employee combined with large amounts of rain that made the road impassable. The neighboring county’s road now requires gravel. The Haakon County commissioners approved for the gravel to be spread on the road, but held off from terminating the agreement. The board accepted the Scotty Philip bust from the Horizon’s group, it will now be under the county’s insurance protection. Nina Pekron, Haakon/Jackson County Natural Re- sources Conservation Service, reported back on an area of dirt blowing in the northeast corner of the county. She said that it is actually in Stanley County. She reviewed the land’s crop history with the board and said the landowner is in compliance with NRCS mandates. John Kangas met with the board in regards to a new lawn mower for the fairgrounds. After discussing the amount of land to be mowed, the time it requires to mow and which mower would work the best for him, the board approved for Kangas to purchase a mower from Ingram Hardware in Philip. A plat for Frank Halligan and the Briggs Family Trust regarding land in the northeastern corner was approved. A yearly transfer of funds from the general fund to the 911 fund was approved, this year in the amount of $21,000.

A new malt beverage license was approved for the Lake Waggoner Golf Course. This is in addition to their liquor license they currently hold. T-34’s malt beverage license renewal was also approved at the meeting.

During training, a mock boating accident was staged at Lake Waggoner. Emergency medical technicians were told to respond to a boating accident at the lake involving two boats and a possible swimmer. On scene were four people involved in a boat/jet ski accident, two from each vehicle. One person with back and neck injuries was rescued from the water. The other jet skier had tumbled into the boat, and was also in bad condition. The Philip Volunteer Fire Department and local Game, Fish and Parks assisted in the training. After the learning experience, participants shared in supplying input and evaluations. The South Dakota Emergency Medical Technicians' Association is divided into seven districts. District 5 is made up of 11 counties with Haakon being the far western edge. The district includes Haakon, Stanley, Hughes, Jones, Mellette, Todd, Tripp, Sully, Hyde, Hand and Buffalo counties. The district has quarterly meetings, and various ambu- lance services volunteer to host the meeting/training. Each host also has input into what the training will involve. June 11, 2015 • Pioneer Review “During this event we had emergency medical techincians from Highmore, Onida, Pierre, Midland and Philip,” said Lori Quinn, director of the Philip Ambulance Service. “Because of all the busy summer schedules we didn't have as big a turnout as we had hoped. However, it was a great opportunity for everyone involved to learn and practice. “The training was a huge success. We all learned new things 2 and were able to practice our skills so we will be better prepared if we should ever have a need for a rescue.” Quinn does not know when the last real rescue was required on Lake Waggoner.

Guest Editorial|Bill Kunkle 28 May 2015 Pioneer Review, Sixty-five years ago, the South Dakota highway patrol class of 1950 graduated in Pierre. It consisted of William Kunkle, Jim Milstead, Paul Schulz and Milford Markus. I picked up my patrol car and drove it to Philip. It was a black 1950 Ford, 279 cubic inch flathead V-8 engine, probably the best car I ever had. I put 88,000 miles on it in deep snowdrifts and hot summers in part of four counties, working alone. A lot of water has flowed down Bad River since then and I have been around to places I never dreamed of; traveled with presidents, to big cities in the U.S. and Mexico. But always considered West River South Dakota to be “home.” Enjoyed your piece about Midland, S.D. Used to roar past the Stroppel Hotel in my patrol car en route to accidents, etc. and visit my aunt Ruth Noble and her husband, Ray Noble. We didn’t have “shifts,” but patrolmen were on call day and night. Your state patrol officers are lucky now. Always look for the Pioneer Review in my mailbox. With my love & best wishes, /s/Bill Kunkle The boating victim is brought ashore to other rescuers. Golden West scholar One-hundred and thirty South Dakota youth turned out for the 4H Teen Leadership Conference. Hosted by the South Dakota 4H Youth Council and South Daktoa State University, June 1-5 in Brookings, the event focused on leadership training, personal growth and fun. Attendees included Ben and Mark Stangle from Milesville. This year’s theme was “Gone Hollywood; Leadership, Character, Action.” "It's impressive to see teen leaders develop a camp through which their peers can learn about themselves, develop confidence and have fun," said Audrey Rider, SDSU Extension state 4-H events field specialist. "Leadership development is at the foundation of what 4-H programming is all about." The 4-H Youth Council is made up of teens who are chosen by their peers to serve the 4-H membership. During the five-day camp, attendees spent time with friends at a variety of evening activities including dances, recreation and a special TLC talent show. Several well-known speakers made an appearance throughout the conference, focusing on leadership development. These speakers included Sheltered Reality, Amanda Radke, BEEF Daily blog, James Krueger, co-owner of Click Rain, Kevin Miles, executive director of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Daklota, and Dusty Johnson. Rachel Parsons is the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship from Golden West Telecommunications. The scholarship is one of 45 the company will award to high school seniors in 2015. A student at Philip High School, Parsons was selected for a number of merit based qualities including leadership, academic achievement, civic and extracurricular activities, and the motivation to serve and succeed. Rachel’s activities include drama, National Honor Society, student council, FFA, and 4-H. After graduation, she plans to attend Dakota Wesleyan University to major in English and minor in theatre arts. “The 2015 scholarship winners each demonstrated outstanding leadership and personal achievement,” said Denny Law, general manager/CEO of Golden TelecommunicaWest tions. “We are proud of their accomplishments, and are excited to support their educational and career goals.” The Golden West scholarships are annual awards established to promote educational opportunity for students within the Golden West service area. The Wall based company has awarded approximately 670 scholarships since the program began in 1999. by Del Bartels Members of the board of education for the Haakon School District tended to be in quick agreement on items in the agenda at the Monday, June 8, meeting. Though double checking the numbers, the board approved the transportation claims made by rural families who must transport their students to school. The total claims came to $44,502.10. When questioned by an audience member if transportation claims for students can be made even if an adult family member drives to Philip every school day because of their occupation, Business Manager Britni Ross said that was the case. This is because of an old law and because the district does not offer bussing for students. Some families whose members who work for the school district file transportation claims. The board will hold a public Fiscal Year 2016 budget hearing a half hour into its next scheduled meeting. It was noted that the district has received a $20,000 water district grant. Casey Jore is the head boys’ basketball coach for next school year, and Tayta West is the head girls’ basketball coach. Lauren Adrian is the fifth grade instructor for next year, and Lissa Papousek is the sixth grade instructor. A contract has been approved for nurse services to be provided by the Haakon County Health Nurse office. This includes health assessments for pre-set grades and any child on referral. The same contract covers screenings for scoliosis, vision, hearing, and develoment. It also covers employee preventative screening, and health education for employees and students. Head lice infestation will be written in separately if needed. Casey Peterson and Associates, Rapid City, will perform the district’s financial audit for an estimated cost of $11,350. The audit is planned for the week after the July board meeting. The start times for the board’s monthly meeting will remain the same; 7:00 p.m. for most of the year, and 6:00 p.m. for the months of November through February. The surplus item list includes some outmodeled computers, three separate sets of school books, and an old teacher’s desk. As board member Doug Thorson put it, “Old enough to be worn out, but not old enough to be antique.” The final reading was approved for a salary schedule in which bus drivers will be paid $15 per hour for drive time and $12 per hour for rest time. A final reading was also approved for a part time and substiute policy, in which certified teacher substitutes are to be paid $95 and noncertified substitutes are to be paid $75. This policy is retroactive back to January 1 because that is when the most recent minimum wage law went into affect. In his last principal’s report for the Haakon School District, Secondary Principal Cory Lambley said the track and golf teams ended their seasons well. South Dakota Rangeland Days in Chamberlain are June 22-24. A volleyball camp for youth from Philip and surrounding towns is June 22. A FFA leadership retreat in Custer is set for July 7. The Philip High School armory will be closed July 11-18 for maintanence. “Thank you to Mr. Lambley, and good luck in your endeavors,” said Superintendent Keven Morehart. In Morehart’s superintendent’s report, he thanked the volunteers who helped at the recent elementary basketball camp and elementary volleyball camp. Morehart said that four or five engineers and architects will do a feasibility study and time frame for possible reconditioning or new building of district buildings. Morehart also said C&J Casedhole Solutions, Texas, will test the district’s geothermal well. They use a wire lining method to test pipe strength and projected life. A prerequisite is that any buildup in the pipes must be cleared out. The problem is the well cannot be shut off for such cleaning. Morehart related that, in order to change the master valve, first you have to get control of the well. The well’s condition is an ongoing investigation. The board of education’s next monthly meeting is Monday, July 13, in room A-1 of the Philip High School, starting at 7:00 p.m. School prepares for budget hearing Clean.

South Dakota West River deer hunters will have fewer days to hunt antlerless deer in 2015 after the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Commission voted to eliminate the nine days of antlerless hunting beginning the Saturday after Christmas. However, East River deer hunters will retain those nine days of deer hunting and be allowed to hunt with unfilled antlerless deer tags during that nine day time period. West River deer hunters will see a slight decrease in the number of licenses available for the West River deer hunting season in 2015 with the number of one-tag licenses reduced by 250 for residents and 20 for nonresidents as compared to 2014. A total of 16,440 one-tag, 1,620 two-tag licenses are available for residents and 1,319 one-tag, 130 two-tag licenses are available for nonresidents. Hunters will see a slight increase in the number of East River deer hunting licenses for 2015 with 250 fewer one-tag licenses, and 1,050 more two-tag licenses as compared to 2014. The East River deer hunting season will run from Nov. 21 to Dec. 6. Ag land Deer seasons finalized values in The results of the 2015 South Dakota State University South Dakota Farm Real Estate Survey have been released and are available on iGrow.org. This report contains information on current agricultural land values and cash rental rates by land use in different regions of South Dakota. It includes comparisons of values from past years. "The land values are a tale of two different agriculture economies, ie. crops and beef cattle," explained Jack Davis, SDSU Extension crops business management field specialist. "Agricultural land value changes this past year reflect the sharp decline in crop prices and returns compared to record prices and returns for beef cattle." The survey showed cropland values declined 4.8 percent during the 2014 to 2015 year compared to an increase of 5.4 percent during the 2013 to 2014 timeline. Over the prior three years, land values increased an average of 17.7 to 37.8 percent. Rangeland and pasture values increased at double digit rates in 2015, increasing at a greater rate than 2013 at 7.9 percent and 2014 at 4.0 percent. "The 2015 increases are similar to the doubledigit rates occurring in the years 2010, 2011, and 2012," Davis said. The survey provides land value information on a regional level, along with cash rental rates by region and type of land use. “Ticks make me ticky … Lice make me licey … Horn flies make me … Oh, how I wish I had an insecticide ear tag!” Get yours today at Jones’ Saddlery, Bottle & Vet Locally owned & operated 859-2482 • Philip That ‘ol pickup had it?

The strengthening of the dollar means it is cheaper to import goods. For example, if last year a pencil from Japan cost 1,000 yen this equated to $1 U.S.. This year even though the pencil still costs 1,000 yen in Japan it might only cost $0.75 in the U.S.. The change in the strength of the dollar while good for people importing goods may mean beef producers who export should watch the market. The U.S. agricultural trade surplu.s. for 2014 was $43.3 billion. For 2015 it is forecast to be $22.5 billion. This is the smallest agricultural surplu.s. since 2007. U.S. exports of beef to Japan are expected to be down $400 million partly due to beef of which Japan is one of the largest markets. Exports to China are expected to be down $400 million as well. This is mainly due to weaker U.S. exports of hides and skins. U.S. beef exports to Canada have fallen by 20.9% in January and February of the 2015 fiscal year. One reason behind the decrease in exports, aside from the increased strength of the dollar, may be due to record high U.S. cattle prices, which favor imports. For example, Canadian exports of feeder cattle to the U.S. in 2014 increased 37.8% from the previou.s. year. In 2014 the U.S. exported 14% of all beef produced. This means it is important for producers to watch the strength of the dollar in the coming year becau.s.e this may negatively impact the exports of U.S. beef. The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks reminds anglers of the new rules regarding fish and bait transportation. Bait can only be transported away from a water body in domestic water (tap water, well water, bottled water, ice). Boat anglers can wait until they reach an immediately adjacent fish cleaning station to put their bait in domestic water. They can dump out the lake water and fill their bait bucket up with water from the fish cleaning station or water they brought with them. A shore angler can do the same if they are able to access the domestic water source at a fish cleaning station that is immediately adjacent or if they bring domestic water with them. Unused minnows should be poured into the fish grinder at a cleaning station or drained and disposed of in the trash containers at the boat launch or cleaning areas. It is a violation of state statute to dump unused minnows into a water body in South Dakota. The new regulations are featured online at sdleastwanted. com. Here, through a threeminute video tutorial, anglers can also learn more about transporting their bait. GFP staff and volunteers are also available to help answer any questions. “As much information as we provided up front on the imple- mentation of these new regulations, we know there are still going to be questions,” said Kelly Hepler, GF&P secretary. “I would encourage people to call our offices or ask a GF&P employee if they are in any way uncertain of how to comply with these new regulations. We are trying to ensure everyone who wants to enjoy South Dakota’s waters can do so with the confidence that they know these new rules. These are big changes and our staff are a great resource and willing to help field customer concerns.” Do not remove lake water when fishing www.RPIpromotions.com www.pioneer-review.com Elderly Meals Thursday, June 4: Chicken Marsala, Roasted Potatoes, California Veggies, Roll, Fruit Parfait.

Friday, May 29, Mig and Barb came by. Barb had been to Rapid City for a sister’s birthday. She brought me an excellent avocado. Thanks, Barbie. Mig and I played scrabble. At 2:30, we played parachutes with ladies from St. Mary’s Catholic Church of Milesville. Marianne Frein brought some rhythm sticks that her husband, Lloyd, had made out of hardwood dowels. Marianne said that Bob Blair, Virgil’s old friend from northern Haakon County, liked reowing. Marianne is wonderfully wired! Marianne played “America the Beautiful” and “I’m Going To Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter.” Grace and Nina Pekron served angel food cake and strawberries. Thank you all. Supper time, Vern Foland, his granddaughter and great-grandson escorted Carrol in to supper. Clifford Fees, Cottonwood, sits at a nearby table. Marianne Frein reported that it is soggy out in the country. Saturday, May 30, it is sunny at breakfast time and no wind, but it usually starts to blow about 9 a.m. I have a “Our State’s Capitals” ready for Fuddy to give to Tiger. Fuddy plans to be at M.R. and Barb’s on Sunday for his birthday. Happy birthday, David. Wayne and Gwyn may be there too. I got a card ready to thank Wanda and Ed Artz and Beverly Jacobson for their visit. Also a card for Marj Self and friends back at Somerset Court in Rapid City. Thanks for your card, Marjoline. Mig came and we had a game of scrabble with unused word, vita, a short auto bio sketch. Wayne and Gwyn took me up to Mig and Barb’s. They are hosting a party for Fuddy’s birthday. His birthday is actually May 31. It might have been about 4 p.m. It was great seeing my old home of 1955-2009 when I went to live at Somerset Court in Rapid City for five years. At old Hansen Court, the house which had always been white is now a warm, gentle brown. Barbie has upgraded the whole interior of the house. She is good at interior decorating. They have put in a higher bed for better comfort in “my” room. They say I am welcome to come anytime. I especially enjoyed seeing some of my old paintings. Barbie had some good bean soup (I liked that) and a pozalli with carrots and potatoes. Then we sat around and ate snacks for a couple of hours and the kids, (my four sons, Wayne, M.R. Frank and David and grandson Clay) told incidents from old times. By and by, M.R. lit the grill and cooked some delicious steaks and we sang “Happy Birthday” to Fuddy. The kids were very helpful getting me in and out of the car and Gwyn and Barbie took me back to the Philip Nursing Home later in the evening. When I got to my room I had a nice card from Beth and Mike Jaeger, some youngsters who came to help with church services at Somerset Court. Thank you, Mike and Beth. Sunday, May 31, Wayne and Gwyn stopped in to see me on their way back to Rapid City. Thank you for taking me up to “my” old house. You are dear kids. Mrs. Al (Carol) Hodge, joined Al and all of us at Al’s table at lunch and she shared the most wonderful rhubarb pie with us all. Thank you, Carol. (Wow that was a great rhubarb pie, Carol. I ate the pie first and neglected the staples. Thanks, Carol and Al.) Gayle Eisenbraun who worked at Wall Drug for 34 years, knew my husband, Virgil, and Lorraine Fauske, who was also here visiting with Margaret Eisenbraun, were at our church service. Vern Foland brought his wife, Carrol. Gayle is promoting a lovely hymn, “Hallelujah For the Cross.” Eleanor Kroetch was also here for church with Pastor Kathy Chesney. Pastor Kathy said that they had just finished a very successful Bible school with nearly 100 children and helpers. After supper, I practiced at the piano. Monday, June 1, another joy to remember from my May 30, outing to my old home on the hill north of Philip, was a drive by the utility pole where among the uncut grasses, a meadowlark had made her nest on the ground. One does not actually see the six eggs. Please come to a “Meet & Greet” for Miss Henley Rae Gittings daughter of John & Emily Gittings When?

My kids have a recipe for pozolli, a sort of main dish stew made with hominy. The hominy turned me off. Pa used to make hominy. (You must have an enamel bucket to soak the dryed corn kernels overnight in lye water. (You stir them rigorously to get the lye exposed. Then rinse well. I never believed all the lye would be washed away. So that is a mark against pozalli! It has other well-loved ingredients, potatoes, carrots, onions, meat (maybe ham or chopped roast beef) and a little salt. From there on you can go crazy with hot pepper sauce, etc. I guess you can tell I don’t want any! June 3, Mig and Barb came for scrabble. Barb put numbers on my phone that Wayne gave me. Thanks Barbie and Wayne. M.R. had new eaves put on the old house and two 30 gallon drums to catch rain water for baby trees. The old eaves he is refurbising for the shop. Thanks, Mig. Barbie brought me an avacado. Thanks. All our residents here had wonderful tiny corn and tender roast beef and such a delicious dessert cake. I was so full that I wasn’t sure I would be done napping in time for bingo, our quite enjoyable activity for the afternoon. Barbara Raverty wrote me a letter which came today. She remembers that in 1964 when Dobby and I came to get Barbara for her brother, James’ funeral. Barbara was living way down in Iowa. Ravellette Publishing recently printed and delivered some cards for me showing the photo of a painting that I did of my pa, Rolla Palmer’s “cream can.” Most every homestead had 10 gallon cream cans to send their cream back east to creameries. I wonder how many cards are in the box? They are very nice and bring back lot of memories. While I sat on the ground painting the cream can, Register for our Summer Reading Contest! Age groups include ages 2-5, 6-9, 10-12, Teen & Adult. Great fun and keeps your my little dog, Lela, bit into a tube of color (purple) and ran around with it! I got the little shed from Darlene Baye when she moved to the airport in (I guess) 1964. I wrote one card to Lloyd Olson as a sympathy card. But he rejected it and left it on the table. There are so many cards, I will need to peddle some! I did write one to Hazel Thompson, old Philip friend from days when she lived on her farm about three miles south of Philip. June 5, I read the request in the Pioneer Review for a card shower for Hazel Thompson’s 89th birthday June 13th. Cards may be sent to her 430 Oriole Drive, apartment 28-G, Spearfish, SD 57783. Happy birthday, Hazel! What year was it that the creamery in Philip started to receive cream? And make butter? Oh boy, we could use butter, and buttermilk was valuable too, especially for pigs and chickens. June 1, Marsha Sumpter visited and had a picture of Vivian in a pile of cedar (posts) that came from Terry Buchert. It made my day. We talked about the artist who painted the walls at the Kadoka Nursing Home and someplace in Murdo. We talked so fast I didn’t get it all written down. Marsha was taking a group to Rapid City in the Prairie Transportation van and they have Betwixt Places| Marsha Sumpter • 837-2048 bilmar@gwtc.net Good morning to you from a lush, green Kadoka. We have been blessed with rain on a regular basis and the countryside has changed dramatically. It’s hard to believe that June has arrived. It has been a challenge to find a day dry enough to get mowing done, but you still hear mowers chugging along attempting to keep ahead of the growth or give up and plan to hay the yard instead. You’d think our town should be called “cottonwood” since the cotton is now floating all over town. It looks like snow drifts. It’s hard to think that just 30 days ago folks were getting uneasy about the lack of moisture. As I was reading “A Collection of Cowboy Logic” by Ryan M. Taylor, his statement “Nobody can complain more about the weather than farmers and ranchers. We take a lot of pride in never being satisfied – too wet, too dry, too cold, too hot, too windy. We’d probably complain if our ice cream was cold.” This was so true, the first of May, the ranchers were lamenting they were going to have to sell cattle because the grass was short and no moisture. By the middle of May the word was they were behind on brandings due to the rain and couldn’t turn the cattle into summer pasture because it was too wet to move them! A word to the wise, the ticks are out and about. Last week as I was taxiing the plane out for it’s exercise, I felt something on my neck, it was a tick!

Marsha has spent many years doing things for the residents of the Kadoka Nursing Home. Carol Vogan said that she was thankful for a sunny day and was also thankful for a good snowcover in the mountains. Thank you for your letter, Carol. My niece, Wanda, sent a pretty card. She said that they arrived home safely and had a good trip. Thank you for your visit and your many gifts: pickles, angel food cake and garden bouquet. The South Dakota Quilters Guild is about ready for their big annual show at the Rapid City Civic Center. Gwyn Hansen helps set up and hang quilts and guide viewers. Mig came for scrabble. Thanks, Mig. We had lunch and then I napped uptil our activity, a Red Skelton movie on TV. Dot walked me over. We had treats of juice and fresh, hot popcorn. Thank you, Dorothy. Next, I went to restorative therapy and Georgia Moos helped me do the pulleys and the foot pedals. We should do these every day. Thank you, Georgia. Wednesday around midnight, it rained and there was a little lightning. pushed the plane out, so my contact with the grass was minimal. How could a tick get from the ground to my neck in such a short span of time? Another thing is the mosquitoes that seem to be in abundance. Cut a two liter plastic bottle in half, in the bottom put one cup warm water and a quarter cup of brown sugar, stir, cool, add a ¼ tsp. of yeast. (No need to stir in.) Take the cap off, turn the top of the bottle down into the bottom, tape together, cover with black and watch it collect mosquitoes. I haven’t tried this yet, but it seemed to be an easy do it yourself inexpensive thing to try. I was looking at places to put some on the mower. Another business was having success at keeping them down with a mix of Tempo and Malathion. Since they have tourists it is quite necessary to keep the pests cleared away. Monday morning, I was in Philip for a HCPT vehicle switch. I visited with Kay Ainslie and stopped by for a visit with Vivian Hansen as well as dropped off some things at the school. Vivian and I enjoyed talking about times we got together for things while she was living in her house. She is looking forward to Scotty Philip Days and her birthday. She was wise enough to not challenge me to a game of scrabble. In the afternoon, I drove a bus load of folks from the Kadoka Nursing Home to the new Missile Site Information Center and then another group for a drive south to see what the White River looked like.

For in the afternoon of Sunday, June 7, it poured! Water was running down the street in front of our house, literally rolling across the alley between Gene and Audrey Jones’ and our house, with the water filling up our backyard and running between our house and Tyler and Angel Nemec’s. When all was said and done, we had an inch of rain in a short period of time. We’ve heard reports we could be in for three plus more inches of rain. I do hope that report does not come to be! I honestly do! Midland grew by 300 plus this past weekend as cars and pickups, motor homes and campers, pulled into town for the 125th celebration of the town of Midland and Midland’s high school graduate reunion. Friday was registration and a time of visiting with alumni throughout the day. Verna Lammon, Midland High School graduate with the Class of 1937, is now 95 years old and was at the school reunion. She lives in Aberdeen with her son, Tom Lammon, and his wife. Tom, who graduated with the Class of 1960, brought his mom to the reunion. At 9:00 a.m. Saturday morning the time capsule, which had been buried 25 years ago, was opened up and its contents dispersed near the old Chicago North Western depot which is now a museum filled with items and history from those yesteryear days. As items were pulled out and names called out, folks went forward to get its contents meant for them. There were comments and chuckles heard throughout the crowd as folks read over the comments and letters written to them 25 years ago. I remembered writing a letter to each of our five kids on Midland’s centennial celebration June 10, 1990, but couldn’t remember what I had written. We had some good chuckles as the kids read their letter with comments made of mem- Midland ories over their growing up years. At the close of the letter, I wrote, “May we all see each other in the year 2015.” All made it home but for Christopher, who due to summer school college commitments, was unable to come. We all missed him and he missed being able to come with his wife, Stephanie, and daughter, Laura, and the chance to be with family. That time capsule with its contents brought memories to many folks on that Saturday, June 6, day. A free lunch was provided by the Midland’s commercial club and fire department and fire district in the town park. The parade with the “1890 Headlines” theme was held on Main Street starting at 1:30 p.m. The classic collector’s show of antique cars and pickups driving down the Main Street parade were awesome and you could tell the folks in those automobiles were having a great time. Many were members of the Gold Dust Car Club, of which Kay (Wheeler) Fuhrer is a member, all from Rapid City. According to the information from the alumni committee, Kay, Ducie (Hagen) Hulce, Tom Konst and Gary Phillips, were the ones to contact. There’s a bit of a human interest story concerning a 1965 red Mustang which was in that parade and belongs to Jessie Mae (Foster) Brewer. It was a gift from her husband, John Brewer, and their family. What made it of special interest was the fact that the year of that car was the same year Jessie Mae graduated high school in Midland, so that would make it how many years on this celebration? You guessed it – this year, 2015, would be the big ‘50’ for the Class of 1965. Oh, how quickly those years sail by. Other graduates here besides Jessie Mae from the Class of 1965 were Morrie and Barb (Petoske) Jones, Tony Nemec, Hunt and Dorothy Keith (Williams) Hunt, who was in that class for a period of time. There were 10 in that graduating class. And as some of you know, Andy Olesen and Charlie Larson were Help us celebrate Ruth Neuhauser’s 90th Birthday Sunday, June 14th at the Quentin Sutley Senior Citizen’s Center Ft. Pierre, SD 2 to 4 p.m. (CT) No gifts please (let your presence be your gift) If unable to attend, cards may be sent to: Ruth Neuhauser 410 8th Street S.E. Highmore, SD 57345 Sonia Nemec • 843-2564 home_maker_sonia@hotmail.com graduates of that class and have since passed away. Jim Petoske was in his dad, Clarence ‘Smokey’ Petoske’s, Model T with a cap on his head which fit the era. The Shiners were out in force in the parade, having a lot of fun – Don Sandal being among them. This is an organization that does a lot of good for others through the years. The Neuhauser’s restored John Deere tractors are always a hit in any parade. And Tony Willoughby drove his International tractor through the parade. The Hunt family’s float added memories to the parade, as their mom, Ida (Fosheim) Hunt, and all 18 of her kids graduated high school at Midland. Of those 18 – Roy, Ted, Keith, Christine, Teresa, Shari, Jan, Michelle, Lisa, Terry, Peg and Gordon were there. Ron, Jeff, Penny and Barry couldn’t make it and Jerry and Fred have passed away. There were too many floats to write about each one, so I just wish to say it was a great parade. Later in the day, there was the drawing for prizes donated by the commercial club members. Then there was the banquet at the school auditorium and a video on the history of Midland was shown. Ben Nemec makes hunting knives and does a very good job of it. He shared an emotional story of his daughter and her journey with cancer. He said for now she is cancer free and for this reason he was giving one of his knives to be auctioned off. Cliff Root, Sheridan, Wyo., was the highest bidder. Cancer touches so many lives and its journey is never easy. Ray Kelly graduated with the Midland High School Class of 1967 and was at Midland’s festivities this weekend. Ray is a gifted artist, a self-taught artist, and had a display of his work at the Stroppel Hotel. The detail he puts into his drawings is amazing and he tells that in using graphite and prism color wax pencils it allows him to draw in detail. Many folks enjoyed seeing his works of art and there were folks who liked some of them so well, they bought them. You can see Ray’s work on www. raykelly.art. Beverly (Williams) Kaufman graduated with the Class of 1957 and was at the reunion. In visiting with her, she told of her dad, Mer- lyn (Bun) Williams, raising rabbits when they lived in Midland. She remembers when Easter was getting closer her dad would take some of the little white bunnies and would color them different colors with food coloring and sell them for a dollar a piece. The little kids were thrilled to find a colored baby rabbit in their Easter basket. Beverly and her husband stayed at the Stroppel Hotel and live at Frankfort. Richard Joy also stayed at the hotel and shared his memories of the old hotel. He told of their garden and selling bunches of radishes for not much money to John Stroppel. That old hotel could share some interesting stories over those many years it sat there by Main Street in Midland, and still does. I’m certain there were many stories and memories shared over this past weekend of activities. *** MIDLAND MARKET IS BACK – FRIDAY, JUNE 12 – 6 TO 8 P.M. – SUPPER BY SENIOR CITIZENS – SEE YOU THERE! *** A request: Verona Evans is missing a round cut glass plate which she had used for relish at Friday night’s supper meal at the school gym.

Denise Huber, Rapid City, brought her mom, Sylvia (Root) June 11, 2015 • Pioneer Review Huber, to the home of Bob and Verona Evans Friday afternoon, where Sylvia stayed for the weekend. Her brother, Cliff, took her back to Rapid City Sunday morning. Visitors at different times at the Evans’ home were Don and Jean Hennies, Sioux Falls, John and Irene (Quaitier) Hubbard, Gillette, Wyo., Lani (Anderson) Hand, Midland area, and her sister, Shari Anderson, Pierre. Thursday, early afternoon, Lawrence (Sonny) Merkle, Seattle, Wash., arrived at the home of his sister, Laurel and Ernie Nemec. That evening, there was a family potluck at Laurel and Ernie’s with Bob and Verona Evans, Kathy Tolton and Mike and Cindy (Tolton) Koehler all enjoying a chance for a visit with Sonny Merkle.

Everyone had a great time and all headed for home Sunday. Friday around noon, Connie Olesen, can’t remember her married name, Portland, Ore., and her sister, Kathyrn (Olesen) Nordstrom, Yankton, arrived at the home of Judy Fosheim where they stayed during the activities in Midland this past weekend. Connie has a silk screening company and does signs for store fronts, etc. Judy reported she is doing very well with her business. Kathyrn is kept busy auditing hospitals and businesses. It was good to see both of them. They left for home Sunday. Kathyrn and I have some good memories of those high school days. Recently, Justin Lumpkin (Cody Jones’ college friend) and daughter, Lacy, Garretsen, arrived late Monday, the 25th, to spend the week helping with brandings. They stayed with Cody and Audrey Jones. Shorty Jones branded Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday afternoon, Mike Trapp branded. Debbie Trapp was home from work helping their daughter, Cassidy, with the meal. Thursday, Justin’s wife, Amanda, and two kids, Matley and Cole, came to be here for Cody’s branding Saturday, the 30th. Joy reported that the weather cooperated and it was a nice day for working cattle. Since Debbie had all the tables set up, they fed the crew at Trapp’s. Cassidy Trapp had gotten up at 2:00 a.m. to make raised and cake doughnuts, making over a 100 of them. She then got in on helping gather cattle and then it was back to the house to help with the meal. Judy Daly and grandson, Dane Daly, visited Cody’s branding crew and helped with the meal. Sunday afternoon, Cassidy and her family hosted a 40th birthday party for Justin Lumpkin and Chauncey Jorgensen, making them a cake with the number 40 in it. Misty Gunderson, Cody and Audrey Jones, Jerry and Joy Jones and the Lumpkin family were guests, 6 too. Sounds like you were a busy young lady, Cassidy. Midland Senior Citizens The senior citizens held their monthly meeting Monday, June 1, 2015.

Minutes by Robin Opitz I am running out of time so will close for this week and catch-up with you next week! Have a good week! Return of mosquitoes and West Nile virus July through September might be the peak transmission for West Nile virus in South Dakota but cases have also occurred in June, said a state health official today. “West Nile is a serious, sometimes fatal illness and South Dakota has a disproportionately high number of cases,” said Dr. Lon Kightlinger, state epidemiologist for the Department of Health. “That’ why it’s so important we get in the habit of protecting ourselves with mosquito repellent and doing what we can to get rid of the standing water that give mosquitoes a place to breed.” Prevent mosquito bites and reduce the risk of WNV with the following precautions. Apply mosquito repellents (DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR3535) to clothes and exposed skin. Limit exposure by wearing pants and long sleeves in the evening. Limit time outdoors from dusk to midnight when Culex mosquitoes are most active. Culex are the primary carrier of WNV in South Dakota. Get rid of standing water that gives mosquitoes a place to breed. Regularly change water in bird baths, outside pet dishes, and drain water from other flower pots and garden containers. Support local mosquito control efforts. Personal precautions are especially important for those at high risk for WNV – people over 50, pregnant women, transplant patients, individuals with diabetes or high blood pressure, and those with a history of alcohol abuse. People with severe or unusual headaches should see their physicians. Since its first human WNV case in 2002, the state has reported 2,168 human cases, including 677 hospitalizations and 32 deaths. Every county has reported cases. Midland Celebration June 11, 2015 • Pioneer Review 7 Del Bartels The crowd kept growing. Some people already done with the free lunch supplied by the Midland Commercial Club visited in the park with people still in line. Some guests had to eat quickly to line up for the parade. Midland’s population is approximately 160, but this day saw over 550 adults registered during the meal. Horses and wagons were a large part of the Midland parade. This one declared, “Pulling together for 125 dog-gone years.” The Midland Volunteer Fire Department showed off its modern trucks, this one pulling a trailer of ancient equipment used more toward the beginning of Midland’s history. There was plenty of clowing around during Midland’s 125th celebration. An all-school reunion and family reunions coincided with the Midland 125th celebration. The Hunt family entered this float in the parade. The parade was admirably long. Still, it was good enough for the entries to circle back around for a second show, a second chance to throw candy, and a second change to wave at friends and family. People put up with long lines, because it gave them the opportunity to catch up on old times all the while surrounded by laughing children. This year a car show coincided with the rest of the festivities. Ancient cars shared the road with newer ones. Prestinely restored autos rolled with ones that are still works-in-progress. Courtesy Photo A mysterious mower created this work of art declaring the Midland school’s legacy. The photo was taken by Randy and Joy Yost, Hayes, who flew over Midland during a large part of the town’s 125th celebration. Midland’s Reuben Vollmer said, “Weather was good. Good bunch of people. All in all, I think it was a big success. Everybody had a good time and that’s what it’s all about.” Even the smallest float was an important part of the parade. The sign reads Midland’s museum was built in 1890. At right, If you have to wait in a line of 550 people for the meal, might as well rest a bit while visiting. The simple things were just as fun, as these two rode the teeter-totter before the parade began. Parade entries came from all over. These wagon riders are Ed Briggs, Moenville, and Beth King, White River. “I can find WHATEVER you’re looking for!” –David Burnett, Owner 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6 van, auto power slider, DVD player & more … only 70K miles Inflatable toys kept the kids entertained while many of the adults were visiting, wandering through their old hometown and listening for their names in the long list of drawings for prizes.

Other family members at the graduation were her son, Dusty, who is living in Michigan for the summer and daughter, Caitie, and her fiance', Danny, De Smet.

Eli will stay with his grandparents until next Sunday. His parents and brother are going to Washington, D.C., for a conference and sightseeing. Joan Hamill returned to her summer home here in Milesville Saturday, May 30. She said she didn't have any news, but I'm betting she's been busy in her yard. Hannah Parsons, daughter of Brad and Wendy Parsons, Visallia, Calif., arrived at Bill and Connie Parsons' Friday, May 29. She stayed with her grandpa and grandma until Monday, when they took her to Sturgis to visit her cousin, Bethany. She returned to her home in California, Wednesday.

There will be a July 4th celebration at the Milesville Hall again this year with the usual delicious roast beef, games, fireworks, etc. More details later. Thursday morning and again in the evening, our area got another nice rain. Some got nearly two inches. These rains have been great. Now the farmers want to get back in the field to plant corn. I'm having trouble keeping up with my mowing. That's a good problem to have! nity!" She also commented on the cute floats. Vince and Andy Bruce visited a bit Sunday afternoon. When I talked to Dorothy Monday, she and Nels were heading out to try to reduce prairie dog numbers on their place – hope they are successful! Dick and Gene Hudson were in Midland Friday and Saturday for the festivities there. There was registration, visiting and supper Friday. Saturday, they attended the lunch and parade and they had a great time visiting with folks – although there were many they would have liked to visit with, but there just wasn't enough time! They attended the banquet Saturday evening and did more visiting. There was also a dance Saturday evening, but they didn't attend that. Gene has been spending a lot of time in the yard and garden, trying to take care of the good crop of weeds. Billy and Arlyne Markwed took great-grandson Kyler Gabriel to the circus in Ft. Pierre last Thursday. Arlyne said this was the first circus they had been to in many years! Kyler wanted to ride the elephant, so Grandpa Billy cowboyed up and went for an elephant ride, too! Lots of memories for lucky little Kyler! Saturday, Billy and Arlyne were in Midland for the celebration activities and all-school reunion. Sunday, they helped work an auction in Kadoka. Arlyne said it rained prior to the auction and there was a good shower during the auction, so there was a bit of a rain delay. Some of the folks attending the auction had parked in a nearby alfalfa field and several got stuck and had to be pulled out. I'll bet that field will be a little rough when it comes time to harvest the alfalfa! Arlyne said she got her tomato plants in the ground, which means she is a couple days ahead of me. Monday evening, Billy Markwed and Duane Roseth went to Pierre for horseshoe league. Arlyne said that her daughter and son-in-law, Cindy and Bruce Bresee, are now moved to Pierre and Cindy started work at her new job. They are currently living in an apartment while they do some house hunting. Joyce Jones was in Sioux Falls Wednesday last week for a checkup following her recent surgery. She got a good report – great news! Max and Joyce accompanied Frank and Shirley to the festivities in Midland Saturday. Sunday, Max and Joyce were on the road again, this time headed east. They attended an Eastern Star picnic in Mitchell and they enjoyed seeing lots of old friends. She said there are plenty of mosquitoes and other bugs at their place right now. Her not so good news of the day was that their refrigerator in their porch quit! And this is the time of year that it gets a lot of use! I guess she'll be going shopping. Things remain busy at the Bruce ranch. Bill and Polly's son, David, was at the ranch all last week, helping make sure all the haying equipment was in tip-top shape. Vince Bruce and Bob Iverson have been busy helping folks get cattle worked and out to pasture. Bill and Polly have been keeping grandson Riley when his folks are busy. Friday, Bill and Polly went to town for groceries and other supplies – thankfully the road was dry! Saturday, they went to Midland for the celebration and reunion. Polly said a lot of her family was in town for the event. Sunday, they were back in Midland to attend church and have lunch. Monday, they went to Eagle Butte for eye appointments. While there, they saw Marge and Lynn Briggs and had a nice visit. Julian and Coreen Roseth were in Midland Saturday for the festivities. Nick Roseth, Julian and Julian and Coreen's grandsons had an entry in the parade. They visited with Pat and Sophie Foley before returning home. Ruth Neuhauser had a visit from Bernadette Knox who is a sister to Polly Bruce. Bernadette lives in the Highmore area. She brought Ruth a beautiful bouquet of flowers, which really brightened her room and her day! Reminder: There will be a 90th birthday celebration for Ruth Neuhauser June 14, from 2-4 p.m. at the Quentin Sutley Senior Center in Ft. Pierre. Our week was jam-packed, even more so than usual! We went to our daughter, Jen's, home near Salem Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning, Randy, I, Jen, Ross and baby, Caroline, flew to Tampa, Fla. We went there to be on hand for our son-in-law, Mike Hoy's, retirement from the Air Force last Friday. He served for 23 years and we are very proud of him and his service to our country. Our daughter, Lori, also flew in Wednesday. Mike's parents from Texas and his sister from North Carolina were also on hand for the event. We also got to visit with Cody Boger, son of Randy's cousin Connie Neuhauser Boger. Cody and his family live in Florida as well and Cody attended the reception at Mike and Chelsea's home. We crammed a lot of activities into a few days and we flew back to South Dakota Saturday. Our daughter, Chelsea, and granddaughter, Maddie, flew back with us and Mike will be here in about two weeks. They will be living here at the ranch and it will be wonderful to have them here! Sunday was spent getting settled in here at home and doing some mowing – it was beginning to look like no one lived here! While I was gone, my mother took a spill at the nursing home in Kadoka. She spent a couple of days in the Rapid City hospital, but she is now back in Kadoka and doing pretty well. She has quite a bruise on her face, but that will heal in time. She also has a couple of facial bone fractures and we'll find out later if those require surgery or not. I sure hope life can get a little easier for her! This week, I am thankful for bug spray. The darned mosquitoes are so thick in some areas that you about can't be outside without the deterrent. I'll have to find out some information about the life cycle of a mosquito – see if there is any hope of a reprieve. Of course, without moisture, we probably wouldn't have such a bug problem, and we sure needed the moisture! Hope you all have a wonderful week! Smile at everyone you meet – it will make you feel good and it will make the recipient feel good also! Moenville News|Leanne Neuhauser • 567-3325 Greetings from sunny, windstill, green, lush, northeast Haakon County. The sun is packing a punch today and it is going to be a hot one – mid-90s according to the weatherman. The heat should really get things growing! It is amazing how fast this country turned from brown and parched to lush and wet. Another thing that is growing is the crop of mosquitoes – wow, they are plentiful and hungry! The garden is growing and so are the weeds. I spent some time yesterday doing some weeding and today will be more of the same. It will be worth it when we are enjoying the fresh veggies. I have been harvesting radishes and spinach – lettuce will soon be ready, if the rabbits don't get it all first. I had to replant the green beans because of the cute little bunnies – next will come the 22 rifle! A big congratulations to the community of Midland on the successful celebration held there over the weekend. It takes a lot of preparation, cooperation and hard work to host such a large crowd. I heard here were over 500 people for lunch Saturday! Anyway, good job, Midland! Lots to do today, so I'd better get to the news. Shirley Halligan went to town last Wednesday to help put together the newsletter for church. Saturday, Frank and Shirley picked up Max and Joyce Jones, and they all went to Midland for the celebration. They had lunch and stayed for the parade. Shirley said there was a big crowd and the weather and event were both great! Healing thoughts for Frank Halligan – he will be having knee surgery Friday. Hope all goes well! Kevin and Mary Neuhauser were part of the crew of Shriners helping with the circus in Ft. Pierre Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Saturday, they had three of Kevin's old tractors in the parade in Midland for their 125th celebration. Thanks to Tanner and Ty Norman for helping out. Craig Neuhauser also had two of his old tractors in the parade. Mary Briggs had lunch in town with her husband, Lee, and grandson, Seth Joens, Thursday. Mary normally works from home Fridays, but this week she worked in Pierre because some of the people in her office were gone for the day.

APPROVED this 2nd day of June, 2015, by the Haakon County Commission at Philip, SD 57567. HAAKON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Tom Radway, Chairman ATTEST: Carla N. Smith, Auditor Nina Pekron from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Office met with the Commissioners to give an up- date on a road in the Ottumwa area that has had problems with blow dirt from the surrounding fields. She has been working with the owner to help him find a solution to this problem. John Kangas met with the Commissioners to discuss purchasing a new mower for the Fairgrounds. The one now used is eight or nine years old. Mr. Kangas had researched some choices and had information for the Commissioners on the mowers he felt would be best for the job. The purchase of a mower had been included in the Fairground’s budget for this year. After discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Snook to purchase a Husqvarna 46-inch riding mower through Ingram Hardware, seconded by Commissioner Briggs, motion carried. Highway Administrative Officer Val Williams gave the Highway Department report. The first item of discussion was a letter from Grossenburg Implement informing the County that the program which offered use of new tractors to the County for limited hours at no cost to the County would no longer be available. The new program being offered will offer these tractors at a charge of $5.00 per hour for the limited hours. This will need to be figured into the budget if it is decided that the County will take advantage of this program. The County crews have been kept busy with road problems due to all the rain received during the month of May. There are some roads that are nearly impassable, some roads have had water running across. A Highway Crossing Permit from West Central Electric for putting an electricity line across the Grindstone Road was presented for approval. A motion to approve the permit was made by Commissioner Clements, seconded by Commissioner Konst, motion carried. Administrative Officer Williams informed the Commissioners that the Highway Superintendent from Stanley County had contacted her about making a change in the County Road Agreement we have with them. Currently Haakon County maintains a portion of a few Stanley County roads where the county line ends before the road reaches a paved highway. Stanley County does the same for several Haakon County roads. The Stanley County Superintendent would like to change the agreement to have each county maintain the roads to their own county line. After discussion it was decided to table any decision until the next meeting. The Commissioners asked Administrative Officer Williams if there has been any information on when the bridge project at Prices will be started. Nothing has been heard as yet.

She presented a preliminary proposal for the additional signs which also includes some signs that are in need of replacement or a change in location. This includes signage within the highway ROW as well as in the City ROW. (A copy of the preliminary proposal is on file in the Finance Office.) DFO Smith went on to advise that she is still working with Mr. VanDeWiele to finalize the plan. Once this is completed, the City will need to submit a permit to occupy the SD highway ROW. In addition, the size of the signs will need to be determined, i.e. standard (24”x18”) or upsize (24”x24”). It was initially understood that the state would provide the standard size signs, but as of today, Mr. VanDeWiele reported that the City will be responsible for all expenses and installations of the additional signs. Council Member Arthur requested Officer Butler’s input on the proposal. He also mentioned the possibility of installing different sizes of signs – depending upon the location. Officer Butler stated that he is hopeful that the additional signage will provide more direction for truck traffic. In addition, it may beneficial to have larger signs in certain areas. Discussion ensued regarding the size and cost of the signs as the City was first advised that the standard size signs would be provided by the State. It was noted that if the City does have to provide the signs, there are sign posts as well as eight standard truck route signs in stock. Any additional signs needed as continued on Pioneer Review is a legal newspaper for the City of Philip, Haakon County, Haakon School Dist. 27-1, Town of Midland, West River Rural Water Development District. 12 City Council continued from 11 well as the arrow signs that go below the truck route signs will have to be purchased. Following, motion was made by Matt, seconded by Gartner, to approve submitting an application to occupy SD highway ROW to install additional truck route signage and authorize the Mayor’s signature thereon. Motion carried. DFO Smith confirmed that the final proposal will be presented to the Council for final review before the application is submitted to the SD DOT. In addition, she will contact Mr. VanDeWiele to confirm the responsible entity for providing the standard size signs. New Business: Council reviewed the following building permits: Kenneth Drury - 16’x34’ addition; Marilyn Millage - install fire escape; Scotchman Ind. - replace entryway; Scotchman Ind. - concrete pad & addition with concrete pad; and, Steakhouse - emergency sewer repair/replacement. Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Matt, to approve the above permits as presented. Motion carried. Airport Improvement Projects: Council reviewed the project status updates for the Land Acquisition and Environmental Assessment (LA/EA), Medium Intensity Runway Lighting (MIRL), and Pavement Rehabilitation projects as prepared by Rod Senn, Engineer with KLJ, Inc. It was noted that the SD Dept. of Transportation (DOT), Office of Air, Rail and Transit has recommended the closeout of the Pavement Rehabilitation design project to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). SD Hwy 73 Sidewalk & Lighting Project: Council reviewed concerns with the concrete valley gutter south of the laundromat that provides access to the bank’s drive-thru off of SD Hwy 73, a/k/a Larimer Ave. It was noted that the valley gutter is in major need of replacement, but unfortunately during the scoping of this project by the SD DOT, this area was not identified for replacement with the project. The SD DOT has reviewed the area and will add this replacement to the project via change order should the City be will to cost share the expenses at 50/50. The estimated cost for the replacement is $5,300 with the City’s share being $2,650. Mayor Vetter stated that it would be beneficial to have this completed with the project. Motion was made by Miller, seconded by Henrie, to approve the 50/50 cost share with the SD DOT for the replacement of the valley gutter described above to be completed with the SD Hwy 73 Sidewalk and Lighting Project. Motion carried. Shared Use Path Project: Council reviewed updated project cost estimates that reflect extending Phase I to the north and across Stanley Ave.; north of the pool parking lot. The total estimate of the project has increased to Public Notices $134,370, of which only $130,770 is eligible for funding through SD DOT Transportation Alternative Program (TAP). The $3,600 that is not eligible includes the additional Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) connection from the end of Phase I to the pool. The City has already secured $51,797 in TAP funding and it has been recommended to submit another application for additional grant funds up to $55,000 based on the total additional project costs of $66,185. Should the additional funds be secured through the TAP, the City could anticipate the local share being $29,394 which includes the ADA connection. Council Member Miller clarified that with the Chamber’s financial commitment of $20,000 towards the project, the City’s share would be $9,394. Discussion ensued regarding the City’s option to submit an application for additional funding. It was noted that the additional application does not commit the City to completing the project if the additional funding is not received. It was also reported that the City is currently committed to $12,767.35 in engineering fees whether or not the project is completed through the TAP. Considering the application for additional funding, this will also increase. It was noted that the initial application process includes submitting a Letter of Intent for additional TAP funding. The deadline for the Letter of Intent is July 15, 2015. Following this discussion, motion was made by Matt, seconded by Miller, to authorize the Letter of Intent to submit an application to the TAP for additional grant funds up to $55,000 based on a total additional project cost of $66,185 and authorize the Mayor’s signature thereon. Motion carried with all members voting aye. At 7:15 p.m., as previously advertised, a public hearing was held on the request of the following establishments for Malt Beverage Licenses for 2015/2016.

Motion carried with all members voting aye. Council reviewed a special event application for Philip Chamber of Commerce to host their annual “Scotty Philip Days” on June 19 and 20, 2015. The planned events include a street dance, parade, water fights, and blow up toys. Written Betwixt Places| Marsha Sumpter • 837-2048 bilmar@gwtc.net continued from 4 made a turn around and bumped back the way we had come. One passenger thought I’d missed a bump! I asked if he wanted me to turn around to see if I could hit it on a second try, but he didn’t think that was the best idea either. Bill went to Philip in the afternoon and stopped for a visit with Darwin Hellekson and asked about the mower that was left at the little farm. Darwin said he’d get it out in the open. Bill and I ran over in the evening with a borrowed trailer and picked it up so Bill could get it running. Monday morning, Tony Harty went to Philip to attend the graveside services for Vera (Watwood) Stahl, 103. Tony enjoyed visiting with former neighbors from the Milesville area, Betty Bierwagen and daughter, Leann, Lisbon, N.D., Kevin and Lori Bierwagen and family, Sioux Falls, Eugene and Judy Bierwagen and family, New Underwood, Arlyce Naeve and husband, Rapid City, as well as other family members in attendance. It was a day of bad luck and good luck for Tony. On the way over he had the tread start to come off a tire, which did some damage around the fender. The good news was it didn’t blow out and he was able to limp home and get another spare put on at the local fix-it shop here in Kadoka. Our sympathy to the Stahl family. No news from the Strugis area this week. Tuesday morning early, I was on my way to Philip with a gal to keep a dentist appointment, making a trade off from the big bus to the little Kadoka van while there. Bill was busy working on the riding mower and Johnny Wilson noticed the shop door open, so stopped to visit with him. I kept an appointment at the clinic here in Kadoka to get paperwork filled out so I can have eye surgery. In the afternoon, Bill went to Philip and had a chat with Rusty Baye about the mower. Rusty is one busy mower repairman this time of year. Bill came home and tore into the motor and discovered a burned out gasket – got one ordered. I had a vacuum salesman from Rapid City stop by and try to sell me a machine that would get my house clean. I said if he went with the machine I’d buy – no deal. Don Moody was running errands in Kadoka Tuesday afternoon and stopped by for a visit just in time to got a chance to see how dirty our house was as the salesman demonstrated. Don gave us a batch of ribs he had and I traded him a couple of drumsticks already cooked. We both were happy! George and Sandee Gittings met Jessica and Melodie McGruder and Daniel Jordan at the sale barn for dinner Wednesday. Sandee went on to Midland on business. Don Moody went to his Rapid Valley home Wednesday afternoon. The cabinets that will be put in were there, so he spent some time in Rapid to do some mowing and watch the remodeling. Wednesday afternoon, Heather Solon came by to do some faxing. She said she was thankful their girls and little fellows enjoy spending so much time with Grandma and Grandpa Solon. It rained .10”. Tony Harty has been busy taking orders for chickens that will be delivered this month. He said he was doing a little picking up at his place and discovered mice nests in some coats. Maybe now he won’t have so many visitors around his place in the form of furry critters. Thursday morning early it was raining. Dale O’Connell treated Bill and me to breakfast at the café once the rain slowed down. We got 1.2” in just a few hours. It was nice and gentle. I kept a doctor’s appointment in the afternoon here at the clinic, still more paper work for the eyes. Bill went permission from Barry Knutson to utilize a portion of his property during the street dance has been received. Council Member Miller confirmed that the Chamber has obtained the required insurance for the street dance and a copy will be provided to the City Office in the near future. Motion was made by Arthur, seconded by Gartner, to approve the Chamber’s event application as presented contingent upon receiving a copy of their insurance.

Council reviewed correspondence from the Badlands/Bad River Regional Economic Development Partnership regarding an upcoming job fair planned for June 26 in Philip. They are soliciting local businesses and other entities to participate in the event – whether they are in need of additional employees now or in the future. It was noted that there is no cost to participate unless one would like to help sponsor the event. Council Member Miller advised that the June date is dependent upon receiving interest from at least ten to twelve businesses. If there is not enough interest for the June date, they plan to pursue another one in the spring of 2016. Positive comments for the planned event were noted. There are numerous local businesses in need of additional employees. It was also noted that the City is currently looking to fill a general maintenance position; and, annually swimming pool personnel are needed. Motion was made by Matt, seconded by Arthur to authorize the City to participate in the job fair. Motion carried.

It was reported that according to PWD to Philip and did some errands and played cards. Thursday, Don Moody took his vehicle in to the dealer in Rapid City because water was coming in the back end. The good news was they ran it through the car wash two times, the bad news was the leak wouldn’t show up! Don said the water from Rapid Creek is spread out by his place and the irrigation ditch is having water issues too. So far so good, no major water around his place. Mel Roghair visited Sandee Gittings Thursday afternoon. Wade, Jessica and Melodie McGruder and Daniel Jordan were supper guests at the George Gittings’ home Thursday. Daniel spent the night. Friday, John Kaiser picked up Tony Harty’s van and made a fix on the gas filler and all is good again. Tony stopped by to see what was happening in our shop in the late afternoon, only to find Bill and me wandering around searching for a part for a mower Bill was working on. How can something disappear out of sight? Tony again was busy with chicken orders. Friday our gage showed .30” of rain. I was able to get the mowing done with the big mower in the afternoon. I did up some shirts and things for folks and delivered them. Bill was busy in the shop in the late afternoon. Don Moody went by the Black Hills National Cemetery Friday morning, then continued on to Sturgis for an appointment and had lunch in Deadwood before returning home. He said it was a pleasant day.

Some left Saturday morning and the rest left Sunday. Saturday, Tony Harty learned that he has a new great, greatnephew, Crosby Douglas Weaver, born June 6, weighing 8 lbs. 11 oz, 20 3/4” long. The proud parents are Cody and Rachel Weaver in Denver, Colo., and he joins a little sister. Saturday morning it rained 3/10’s here in Kadoka. As we were headed to the shop, a kitten came running to us and was busy playing and purring around the shop while we were working. I loaded it up in the little pickup and checked with folks around the area looking for it’s home. As of this writing we’re still looking for a home for the little guy. He is house-broke and a typical teenager, always hungry! Bill and I went to the Missouri River in the afternoon, checked out the fishing and had supper before returning home. Don Moody did a little shopping in Rapid Saturday and found a nice Wii game he’s anxious to give a try. Candy Moulton, Encampment, Wyo., visited George and Sandee Gittings Saturday afternoon.

June 11, 2015 • Pioneer Review 14 Grindstone News|Mary Eide • 859-2188 Some items from from last week weren’t enough for news so will add them to this week’s column. Mike and Judy Melvin, Sioux Falls, came to the home of Jim and Norma Oldenberg to spend a few days. While they were here they went to Rapid City for a friend’s graduation and to visit other friends they knew in that area. June 26, Oldenbergs called and asked me to come in for dinner and to visit with them. Judy always makes the best potato salad and Norma is such a good cook. We all enjoyed a great meal. As we were all sitting on the porch and as it was sale day in Philip, many people from the Faith and Dupree areas stopped in to say hi to everyone. It was a very busy day at their home. Mike and Judy had a good visit with the George Oldenberg girls, Nellie and Henry Chapell, Kathy and Bob Hamen and Ruby and Don in Rapid City. Mike and Judy left for home the 27th, as they had lots of things to do. Their daughter and husband were moving to a new home and they wanted to be there and help out as needed. Jim and Norma Oldenberg also informed me that the Oldenberg family reunion will be held at the Bad River Senior Citizen’s Center in Philip this year in June. Some of the third generation are planning to come for the reunion and some of the Wintrode family will be here then visiting Les Wintrode. This will give everyone a chance to see and visit with family. There will be some we haven’t seen for several years. We have had lots more rain and Marvin Eide finally found a couple days where he could work cattle. They worked one bunch June 8 and will do the rest June 9. Several young people were there to help. The calves were getting so big that they were hard to handle. The kids who are helping say it is hard to wrestle 200 - 300 pound calves all day. It has been so muddy that Marvin had to take the scrapper and take out the top layer of mud and put gravel around the chute so they would have good footing. Marvin planned to start working cattle by 7 a.m. June 9 because the weatherman predicted a very hot day. He said that he had a lot of good help coming. The Fitch boys and the Smith brothers were coming, so they should get done in no time. And some of the crew he had yesterday are returning to help finish up. Sure has been a hard time to find dry weather to work cattle this year. I have heard a new term for rain called garden rain and I don’t know what kind of rain this would be unless maybe they just need a new name as we have all kinds this year! It seems like a lot of airplanes and helicopters are flying over the past couple weeks. I know that some are spray planes, but others are just flying over this area.

Well, they sure can’t drive around to check them very easy this year. Marvin took my mowing tractor to town to get it ready for mowing this season. They called to say that it was finished. The yard has grown out of bounds with all the rain – it will take some doing to get it all done. I haven’t created much news this week. I have just been home, so I will close for now.
