1 $ 00 Includes Tax Philip, South Dakota 57567 Local Mosquito control grant to Philip More than 180 South Dakota cities and counties will share in $490,371 in grants intended to control mosquitoes and prevent West Nile virus (WNV). Philip will receive $2,878. According to the Department of Health, all applying communities received funding, with grants ranging from $750 to $20,000. Grant awards were based on the population of the applying jurisdiction and its history of human WNV cases through 2014. Since the state’s first human case in 2002, South Dakota has reported 2,168 cases, including 677 hospitalizations and 32 deaths. Every county has reported cases. This season South Dakota reported its first human WNV case on June 30, a Brown County resident in the 50 to 59 age group diagnosed with WNV fever. There has also been a positive mosquito pool in Meade County. Including this latest round of grants, S.D. has provided local mosquito control programs with more than $6 million in support, in either direct grant funding or control chemicals, since the virus emerged in S.D.

Jerry Ingram has been a part of the hardware business for over 50 years. A retirement open house was held Tuesday, June 30, which was his last day working in what used to be known as Ingram Hardware. It is now Philip Hardware. “I’m sad, but ready,” said Jerry. “I’m ready, but I’m really not.” His parents, Jim and Laverna, purchased the business in 1964 from Clarence and Urly Bartel. At that time, it was located across the street in the building that later housed Philip NAPA Auto Parts. In 1976, the business moved to what was previously an auditorium, now the current location at 210 E. Pine Street. A storage building across the street is used for inventory space. The association with Coast to Coast changed to Ace Hardware in the 1980s, then changed to Hardware Hank in 2002. “I worked here as a high school person, went to college for two years, worked around for awhile,” said Jerry. His wife, Pam, clarified, “He was a freshman in high school when they moved from Rapid City and bought the Coast to Coast.” In 1985, Jerry began a partnership with his father. They used to do a lot of pump and outside plumbing work. In 1995, Jerry bought the business outright. His father’s health was not good, and Jim passed away in 1996. “I had already spent half my life here anyway,” said Jerry. “It’s been good to us through the years.” Colt and Erin Fitzgerald approached the Ingrams about purchasing the business. “We started last year visiting, getting this together,” said Pam. “It just takes time.” Jerry’s plans now involve fishing, golfing and hunting, and his wife has a long list. “I need to find my (golf) game again, it’s somewhere out there lost,” said Jerry. Pam is also going to have some extra time, as she steps down from being one of the business’ bookkeepers. She will keep her position at the bank. “Twenty-five years I’ve had two jobs. I don’t know what I’ll do. It’ll be interesting,” she said. “But I will definitely miss the Christmas season and the greenhouse at the store.” by Del Bartels During its regular meeting Monday, July 6, the Philip City Council addressed concerns over the need for spraying to eliminate mosquitoes versus side affects of the chemicals used. The council responded to an inquiry by Elke Baxter, president of the Philip Garden Club. Her concerns include the loss of honeybees and danger to birds, the contamination of gardens and lawns, and the potential danger to people, especially since many windows are left open at night. The city uses the chemical spray BIOMIST 3+15 ULV by Clarke. Its label states, “This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds while bees are actively visiting the treatment area. “In the treatment of corrals, feedlots, swine lots, poultry ranges and zoos cover any exposed drinking water, drinking fountains and animal feed before application. “Do not contaminate food or feed products. Do not allow spray treatment to drift on pasture land, crop land or potable water supplies.” Concerning insects other than mosquitoes, council member Marty Gartner admitted, “It usually kills everything in the field,” and that bees are more suseptible to this chemical than mosquitoes are. Discussion included suggesting the garden club and others plant flowers that attract bees and to help the bees thrive. Council members Trisha Larson and Jennifer Henrie would like to know what green communities do and other alternatives to this anti-mosquito spray. Matt Reckling said that the days of the city’s weekly spraying depend on the weather. “We shoot from the hip. If the weather cooperates, we go.” Mayor Mike Vetter stated, “I think the overall good outweighs the negative.” He compared the chemical and the need to get rid of mosquitoes to having to put chlorine in the public swimming pool. He also voiced that government Del Bartels Jerry Ingram is retiring as owner/operator of Ingram Hardware. His plans include golfing, and working on a long list from his wife, Pam. City’s mosquito problems weighed continued on 2 Del Bartels The Philip Volunteer Fire Department presents its fireworks display every year on July 3. See more celebration photos on page nine. by Del Bartels The Philip Volunteer Fire Department presented its annual fireworks display at dusk, Friday, July 3, over Lake Waggoner. Patriotic music was played over 96.7 radio during the fireworks display. The free will donations helped support the $6,500 cost for the fireworks and will help to make next year’s display even larger. The cost two years ago was $5,500, and last year’s was $6,500. Early ordering earns a discount so the PVFD can bring in the various single shots, including some six inchers, and the many multi-shot batteries commonly called “cakes.” Somehow, the PVFD got four 12inch shells for the display. Before the huge main event, kids shot off their own fireworks at the beach area and on the hills surrounding Lake Waggoner. Many viewers left after the display, though many stayed behind in campers. Chase Wright Wright noted, “Boys State helped me understand more about government, and helped my speaking skills, and social skills being around all those great people who were chosen by their Legions.” Poss said, “It’s like a live political science experiment. Our councilors kind of point us in the right direction. Basically, we set up an independent government and went from there.” Poss was selected as one of two delegates to represent South Dakota at the American Legion Girls Nation in Washington, D.C. in July. Because of this, she will be back at South Dakota Girls State next year to give a presentation. Other Boys and Girls State activities included general assemblies, legislative sessions, talent auditions, invited speakers, court proceedings, law enforcement presentations, bands, chorus and recreational programs, campus tours and various presentations and meetings. College/career fairs were also held. “You should go,” said Wright. “It will be a great experience to have under your belt. We sat as a city, ate as a city. You bond with people, make new friends. It was worth it. I thank the Legion for sponsoring me to go.” He added, “I’m going to register to vote, absolutely.” “It was great watching the confidence boost,” said Poss. “We all got along better than I expected. Everyone was very encouraging.” “There’s a lot more positions than just a mayor and representative,” said Ferguson. “It takes a lot more, and people don’t see these, they just see the biggest ones.” Philip seniors at American Legion’s Girls, Boys State by Del Bartels Over 388 high school junior girls from across South Dakota learned about civic participation, June 16, at the 69th American Legion Auxiliary South Dakota Girls State program in Vermillion. Simultaneously, 306 high school boys between their junior and senior years, were delegates to the 73rd annual session of the American Legion Boys State of South Dakota on the campus of Northern State University in Aberdeen. Attendees included Philip High School senior ladies Tyshia Ferguson and Jane Poss, and PHS senior Chase Wright. “I did it a lot for the social aspect and I also wanted to learn about the government,” said Wright. “I learned how city, county, state and national government works.” “I thought it would be a good thing to put on my college application, and I didn’t know a lot about our state government,” said Ferguson. She learned, as she ran for an office. “County commissioner didn’t sound enticing at first, but I was interested in the material,” admitted Ferguson. Besides learning about government politics, she also learned about law enforcement through a drug dog presentation, a SWAT team demonstration and by passing a Girls State law enforcement exam. “My mom went to Girls State and my friends said it was great. I really wanted to go, and it looks good on a college application,” admitted Poss. “It was way more than I expected, more intense. I learned more.” Joann Pearson, president of the American Legion Auxiliary in Philip, said, “The citizens of Girls Jane Poss, left, and Tyshia Ferguson State are our future leaders, and by providing a week of enthusiasm, patriotism and service, as well as pride in our country and our organization, the girls will leave with positive attitudes and strong desires to make this world a better place.” The event is meant to teach participants about every aspect of American government, from the local and state to the federal level. Students are divided into cities and counties where they run for a mythical political office or seek various law enforcement positions. They learn firsthand from real state and local public servants. The week long session, part of the American Legion’s Americanism Program, is a participatory event Representative Kristi Noem was a guest speaker at Girls State. “The biggest difference a person can make is to bring their own experiences, values and priorities to the table. I know that’s much easier said than done some- times – especially if those experiences, values or priorities go against the grain. But when you speak your heart, you will at the very least change the conversation, if not the outcome. No matter your gender, no matter how old or young you are, no matter what you decide to do after high school, your opinions matter. Your perspective matters. Your actions matter,” said Noem. United States Senator John Thune was also a speaker at Girls State. He emphasized three qualities that are important to being successful in life: a commitment to excellence, character, and life of service. Thune said, “You are here because you have been recognized as a leader in your community.” Wright admitted, “I thought it was going to be kind of boring, but they made it interesting and they had recreation time, too. You got to meet the other guys from across the state. It was a great time.” Wright added, “The best things were the people. They were great people, easy to get along with. We were real close as a city.” “The best thing was, partially, learning, and friends,” said Poss. “We learned a lot in a very short time. I think I made a lot of connections, and I feel I will carry a lot of those with me later on in life.” “The best was the impact it was having on everyone around me,” said Ferguson. She added that not everyone gets the opportunity to take advantage of such an impact. “Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there as much as you can. No one is going to judge. You will get a lot more out of it.” Poss agreed. “What you put in is what you get out. Saying yes to everything is probably the best way to go. You get more out of it than if you don’t.” She said it would be hard to not participate in such an exciting atmosphere. Opinion / Community City’s mosquito problems weighed continued from 1 entities would not allow the chemical if it wasn’t safe. The city agreed to spray on Tuesdays evenings, from 10:00 p.m. until done. If the weather does not permit this on Tuesdays, then the spraying will be done on Wednesday evenings. The city will be submitting a request to install additional signage to direct trucks in the South Dakota highway right of way. Building permits were granted for Kit Graham to put in a driveway and for Ralph and Carol Kroetch to put in a patio and fence. Grossenburg Implement received a building permit to put up a 100’x200’ addition and adjustable loading dock.

We are much taller now than we were then. We’ve grown up all right, at least physically. In other ways, there may be some question about it. For instance, we still like toys and lots of them. Our toys our bigger than when we were very young and cost a lot more, but they’re still basically toys. As an example, I might mention my nephew who is heavily into hunting and fishing. He’s grown up, surely enough, since he is well over six feet tall, but he still needs a goodly supply of stuff to keep him entertained. When he comes to the ranch, often with friends of similar interests, they bring along a lot of supplies. They stay at my folks’ old house across the way, and sometimes it’s a little hard to even get in the door with all the gun cases, huge bows with their arrows, tackle boxes, and all the associated materials that are lying around the place. There are fancy scopes for the rifles, binoculars, and often some items I don’t even recognize but are apparently quite necessary in the pursuit of fish and game. They like to come prepared. Other guys need a lot of sports equipment such as a large assortment of golf clubs to cover any possible shot that might come up. Those who are into rodeos need an ample supply of things too, mostly leather. They often need pricey horses as well. The list goes on and on concerning those who have a passion for flying airplanes, for camping, for swimming underwater, or taking part in a myriad of other activities. This all varies a lot depending on a person’s interests. One common denominator, however, is that most guys adore motorized vehicles of every kind imaginable. This would include but not be limited to pickups, cars, motorcycles, four wheelers, airplanes, motor boats, and jet skis. We love them all. If it roars and gets us around quickly, we probably like it. I have noticed that long, sleek cars are the favorite of many younger fellows. These need to have big enough engines that they rumble nicely just cruising down the street and roar when accelerated. Pickups are big in many areas. They are often adorned with decals, extra lights, and flashy wheels and hub caps. The inside may need special seat covers and a big enough sound system to thump solidly on the low notes. Pickups, too, should roar when accelerated and go quickly from zero to 80 MPH. Once you get a vehicle fixed up the way you like it, then it’s hard to ever part with it unless it completely falls apart or gets messed up in an accident. That was the case with the nice red and black Buick I got while in the Navy. I might still be driving it if the front wheel hadn’t fallen off. With the nifty blue and white Mustang I had after that, it might still be around if I hadn’t driven it into the side of a pickup that failed to stop at a stop sign. Even the huge tank of a Mercury that I inherited from my dad was hard to give up despite it having been driven nearly to death by the time I traded it off. This reluctance to give up on favored vehicles is fairly common, I think, if you go by vehicles you see Subscription Rates: For Haakon, Jackson, and Jones counties, Creighton, Wall, Quinn, Marcus, Howes, Plainview, and Hayes addresses: $39.00 per year (+ Tax); Elsewhere: $45.00 per year.

Vetter stated, “Sure is a whole lot easier driving over the manholes now.” As for the shared use path project from W. Pine Street to the swimming pool, a letter of intent for the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funding has been submitted. The council approved the annual joint cooperative agreement and dues of $887.74 to the Central South Dakota Enhancement District for Fiscal Year 2016. The council authorized submitting an application to Homeland Security funding for assistance with the security cameras at the kiddie park and pool. The city gave an official thank you to all of the individuals and businesses who contributed to the Lake Waggoner beach area cleanup and improvements. Vetter said, “The place looks awesome. Like a completely different place. There is a possibility for installing more campsites at the campground at Lake Waggoner. This would necessitate the moving of the outhouse facilities to a different location. In the administrative report, the year-to-date sales tax revenue for up through June came to over $272,970. This is up over $66,880 over last year at this time. “Year to date is spectacular. Can’t thank businesses and consumers enough,” said Vetter. He emphasized that people should strive to shop at home. The 2016 budget meetings will begin sometime during the week of July 20. The street department will keep trying to acquire hot mix for street repairs. It was stated that cold mix does not have the durability of hot mix. The council gave a thank you to Chad and Paulette Ramsey for donating a freezer to the pool. It also gave a thank you to the Forty and Eight group for helping sponsor the free swim day June 20. The last swimming day for the 2015 summer is Saturday, Aug. 15. After an executive session concerning the open general maintenance position, the council decided to offer the position to the applicant who interviewed earlier that day. The offer is contingent that the applicant live within 10 minutes of Philip. The council formally authorized Deputy Finance Officer Brittany Smith’s attendance at the South Dakota Municipal League 2015 budget meeting July 15 in Rapid City, and at the SDML policy meeting Aug. 13 in Pierre. The next special meeting to work on the capital improvement plan will be scheduled for some time in August. The next regular Philip City Council meeting is Monday, Aug. 3, at 7:00 p.m. in the Haakon County Courthouse community room. date a commercial learner’s permit is issued to the date the driver is able to take a CDL driving test.

S.D. commercial drivers license changes Several changes in South Dakota commercial driver license (CDL) regulations became law July 1. The new or changed restrictions were approved by this year’s legislature. “We thank lawmakers for approving the bill because if the measure had not passed, S.D. could have been found out of compliance with federal regulations,” she said. “Noncompliance could have meant a loss of millions of dollars in categories such as federal highway funds and motor carrier safety assistance program funds. The state also could have been decertified from issuing commercial driver’s licenses. That would have meant that residents would have had to obtain a CDL from another state.” Among the major changes is that the minimum age for applying for a CDL has increased from 16 years old to 18 years old.

One old blue pickup stands outside a guy’s house, and my memories of it go back well over thirty years. Another Chevy blazer is frequently seen, and new ones of those haven’t been made now for a couple decades or so. A few dents and a little rust won’t bother you much if you’re attached to a certain vehicle. I particularly enjoy seeing an older blue Cadillac convertible that is occasionally on the street and a topless racy-looking car of unknown variety that often has a huge fluffy black dog riding shotgun. When it comes to motorcycles, I never have had one of the really fancy kind with lots of chrome and a big engine. Nevertheless, I did get considerable enjoyment out of the small Sears motorcycle I bought in New Orleans while I was in the Navy. I drove that little fellow all over in Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, and South Dakota and had lots of fun in the process. It still sits in the shed although it hasn’t been used in quite a few years. My nephew has his eye on it and can have it whenever he wants, but I still look at it with a kind eye whenever I happen to notice it. At present, I am roaring around on a little four-wheeler and, of course, have a pickup that pleases me quite a bit. I have no current plans to buy another motorized vehicle, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be open to getting one if it really caught my eye. Maybe, after all, men and boys do have quite a bit in common, especially when it comes to toys. Still, what would life be like without some interesting forms of entertainment? A person needs a few things to make life worth living.

Country Praises|by Del Bartels Always a duet The audience in the high school gymnasium stood for the national anthem. The young man was already standing, microphone in hand. He listened in his head for the first note usually given by his sister, took a strong breath and started singing. Perhaps his voice stressed “proudly we hailed,” as he recalled his older sister in formation, she and the other military cadets saluting the flag during their basic training graduation. Yes, he could see the broad stripes and brights stars. They were the same as those tightly folded in individual memorial boxes hanging on the walls of the local American Legion hall. The flag in this gym was displayed as a banner, spread out similarly to the one that had been draped years ago over his older brother’s casket. “Through the perilous fight,” brought back the one story that his deceased great uncle ever told about WWII. No other war stories ever escaped his lips. His strained hands bled as he loaded a big gun on his navy ship, one of the bigger ones in the fleet. He turned as the gun fired. He saw the torpedo coming. He again loaded and turned. A smaller ship interceded. Bodies of sailors flew through the flash and smoke of the explosion. He loaded. The burning ship quickly listed and sank. There was no chance to rescue dying men. He kept loading. Another ship took the first one’s place. He kept loading. “Over the ramparts we watched,” would be felt this coming summer when his family’s included visiting the U.S.S. Constitution in the Charlestown Navy Yard. When Dad, a history buff, suggested it, he anxiously agreed. Another wish of the young man was to some day visit the memorial in Pearl Harbor of the U.S.S Arizona and U.S.S. Missouri. “The rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,” always made him think of Fourth of July fireworks. He and friends would light everything from sparklers to expensive cakes. Then the local public show would begin. Exclamations coincided with big booms and streaming lights. He couldn’t imagine such a show without his family and friends. “Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.” He fought against any diminishing in volume. People he knew, teachers, those at church, friends’ parents and even some other students, talked as if that proof was fading. Was the flag as visible now as even just a few years ago? People he respected said that proof of a great country was in the morals of each of its citizens. He disagreed with some peoples’ choices. How could he and others make things right? “O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave?” That was a good question. In the eyes of many people, does it yet wave? Most people don’t know that in the last stanza of this anthem is, “And this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust.’” He held the final note a beat longer than most singers. He recalled his father, sisters, brothers, great uncle, friends and others. His was the only voice heard today, but he would always sing the national anthem as a duet. Ravellette Publications, Inc.

The South Dakota Department of Agriculture encourages all ag producers and businesses to take advantage of the free pesticide container recycling collection from Monday, July 13, through Wednesday, Sept. 9, in 37 locations around the state. The SDDA has been recycling containers since 1993 and recently exceeded 2 million containers being recycled. There are two accepted methods of pesticide container disposal. Pesticides may be disposed of at a solid waste landfill or turned over for recycling. With either of these methods, containers must be triple or pressure rinsed to remove contaminants. Recycling is the preferred way of disposing pesticide containers because containers are removed from the solid waste stream and the discarded materials can be reused. Many solid waste facilities do not take pesticide containers because they do not have enough staff to ensure containers are properly prepared for disposal. Recycling is a no cost option. Only 2.5 gallon containers or less that previously contained crop protec- tion chemicals are accepted during these collection times. Larger containers will be collected at later arranged times. South Dakota state law prohibits open burning practices that create a nuisance or a hazard to public health. Open burning of plastics releases chemicals to the atmosphere that are considered to be hazardous air pollutants. “When you consider the health risks associated with open burning plastic containers and the fact that state law prohibits the practice, choosing to take advantage of the pesticide container recycling program should be an easy decision,” said Tom Gere, SDDA agronomy services manager. If you are a large quantity gen- erator of containers, or have no collections in your area, it may be possible to have SDDA staff come directly to your location and collect containers. For a full schedule of container pick up times and locations, please visit http://sdda.sd.gov/agservices/pesticide-program/pesticide-collection-program/ and click on “2015 Pesticide Container Recycling Collection Schedule.” For more information, contact SDDA at 605-773-4432.

SDSU Extension is a service that still exists in South Dakota, yet many times when I tell someone that I work for SDSU Extension, I hear statements such as, “oh, we don’t have an extension office anymore”, or “I didn’t know there was still an extension service.” Well I am here to tell you that we still exist and we are ready to serve you. While you may not have an office in your county any longer, you have full access to all the Field Specialists in every regional center across the state. There are benefits to the new structure of SDSU Extension. With the move to regional centers, Field Specialists are now able to focus on a particular area rather than being a generalist. That means that you are able to get information from people who specialize in the area for which you are seeking assistance. And rather than having access primarily only to the extension educators that were in your county, you now have easy access to any field specialist in the state. While there are eight regional centers (located in Rapid City, Lemmon, Winner, Pierre, Mitchell, Sioux Falls, Watertown and Aberdeen), and field Peggy Schlechter Community Development Field Specialist [email protected] specialists have offices in assigned centers, we aren’t assigned to a region. We are able to assist anywhere in the state that we are needed. And you aren’t assigned to a region based on where you live so you might be working with an agronomy field specialist from the Pierre office as well as a sheep field specialist from the Rapid City office. Yes, this system is different. And it still may take some getting used to. While you may not be able to talk to your county educator as you stop in the office while you are in town, you do still have 4-H offices in your county. Your 4H youth advisor knows everyone who works in the Rapid City Regional Extension Center so can connect you to us quickly and easily. And we are as close to you as your nearest telephone or computer. Simply pick up the phone and call us at 605-394-1722 or drop us an email. If you make a trip to Rapid City, please stop by! We would enjoy the opportunity to show you around our office. We are located at 1530 Samco Road, which is just off Deadwood Ave, close to Exit 55 on I90. In our office we have field specialrepreists senting the areas: Community Development – P e g g y Schlechter; Cow/Calf – Adele Harty; Entomology – Anitha Chirumamilla; Gerontology – Leacey Brown; Livestock Business Management – Shannon Sand;, and Sheep – Dave Ollila. In addition, we have master gardeners who volunteer on a part-time basis during the spring and summer months to answer your gardening questions. Isn’t it nice to know that if you have a question about insects, we have someone in our office that specializes in insects and you can talk to her directly about your question? And if you have a question about food safety, we can help you connect with a food safety field specialist even though we do not have one in our office. To locate the complete list of field specialists, visit our website at igrow.org/about/our-experts or call or stop by our office and we can give you a list. SDSU Extension is still here, alive and well and ready to serve you! Highway 73 chip seal planned The South Dakota Department of Transportation has announced chip seal and fog seal applications will be applied to several highways in the central area of the state beginning July 13, weather permitting. The contractor plans to chip seal eight routes, with fog sealing closely following the chip sealing. The overall completion date for the eight projects is Sept. 4. Fifth in line for the surface work is a 25-mile stretch of Highway 73, from Philip north to Billsburg. Traffic will be reduced to one lane and guided through the work areas with the use of flaggers and a pilot car. Delays of up to 15 minutes can be expected while traveling through the work areas during daytime hours. Loose gravel and fresh oil will be present for a period of 36 to 72 hours after each day’s chip seal 3 application. It is recommended that traffic reduce speed to 40 miles per hour or use an alternate route during this time. Hills Materials from Rapid City is the contractor on this $2.5 million contract.

Jean and I got better acquainted with her when she came to visit us with my sister, Wanda Meyer. She enjoyed seeing new things and learning about them. On one of her visits to Indiana, I picked a pod of soybeans for her examination. When she traveled with us, we soon learned to watch what we said as she was an avid "note taker" and what we said was likely to show up in a succeeding news column of hers. We enjoyed having her with us (and Wanda) to many places, including the following: * Stonington, Conn., founded by Walter Palmer, her ninth greatgrandfather, in 1629. We saw his grave in a cemetery there. Vineyard, Conn., *Martha's *Newport, R.I., *Cruise on the Queen Elizabeth II (QE II), with a day tour of New York City. (When the tour bus stopped at a traffic light, in front of a McDonald's that had a grand piano in the window on the second floor, she said that she had been there recently. (She Hit & Miss had been on bus trip to New York and they had lunch at that McDonald's.) *The Agawa Canyon, Canada, a fall foliage train ride, north of the Mackinac Bridge. *The Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island, Mich., (While in this area, I took her picture by a sign for RAPID CITY, MI.) *Legend of the Seas – 11 day cruise from Acapulco to San Juan, Puerto Rico, through the Panama Canal. I remember that Aunt Vi and I each had a fresh banana at a market in Costa Rica. We had one stormy day at sea while on the Pacific side. As we went through the canal, (Gatun Lake) we met the QE II going the opposite direction. *Wisconsin Dells, Baraboo, Wis., where we found information about, and some graves of, several Palmer ancestors. That is the "tip of the iceberg. "Thanks for all the care and support you and Barb provided to her, especially her last years. She was one SPECIAL Lady! Leonard *** Thursday, July 2, a number of people from Philip attended the ordination to the priesthood of Deacon John Paul Trask and Deacon Mark Horn at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Rapid City. A beautiful and solemn procession of nearly 50 priests and deacons came down the aisle, led by the Knights of Columbus and took their seats at the altar. They were followed by Bishop Robert Gruss, Bishop of Rapid City Diocese, and Deacons John Paul and Mark. Our parish priest from Philip, Father Kevin Achbach, was among those seated at the altar. It was uplifting to see so many religious leaders together in one place to welcome their new brothers in Christ into the priesthood. After the Mass and ordination, a reception followed in the cathedral hall. The “Philippians” who attended the ordination were Pat and Mary Lou Guptill, Tom, Shelia and Tomlynn Trask, M.R. and Barb Hansen, Steve, Nina and Grace Pekron, Joe and Kathy Gittings, Lloyd and Marianne Frein, Sonny and Betty LaBeau, Pat and Julie Please send in your news to: [email protected] or call 859-2516 Seager, Kay Williams, Mike and Faye Piroutek and Father Achbach. *** Old Time School Days of Vivian Hansen Homesteaders in western South Dakota have always tried to have good public schools. They had as many months’ school as they could pay for. They built their own buildings, hired and paid their own teachers, furnished their own fuel and water. Many pupils brought their own books and these were passed down year after year. (When I was in first grade in West Lincoln #20, Township 3 North, Range 18 Black Hills Meridian, an eighth grader, Merle Hauk, gave me his Aldine Primer.) Rents from Sections 16 and 36 were set aside for school support. My parents sent us all to school beyond high school. My sister, Evalynn attended Spearfish Normal and taught in Milesville and East Lincoln Schools. Cecil, my sister, went to Spearfish Normal and to Northern Normal Industrial School in Aberdeen. My brother, Richard, went to a short term at South Dakota School of Mines and to South Dakota ag college in Brookings. He also studied with Beery School of Horsemanship. He learned to break and train horses, do horseshoeing and rodeo, including clowning and trick riding and roping. I went to Cottonwood High School for three years, sometimes boarding, sometimes “batching” and sometimes staying at a WPA dorm and one year at Philip High School at the WPA dorm. My folks sent me to a year of business college. All of this education represented much work and frugality to accomplish. My husband, Virgil W. Hansen, was my choice of all the boys I had known. He was tall, skinny, softspoken and artistic. He had been art editor on the PHS Scottie Messenger and he could play the violin. And he had been to college! True, it was only a half-year at Billings Polytechnic, but it widened his horizons greatly. His major was stagecraft, which offered him an opportunity to develop his ability at lettering and July 10-13: Inside Out PG *** July 17-20: Max PG July 24-27 Magic Mike XXL R July 31-Aug. 3 Minions PG July 9, 2015 • Pioneer Review stage arrangement. He learned to do lighting effects. In 1936, turning the scene from dawn to midday was quite an accomplishment. We wanted the most and best possible education for our kids. It wasn’t easy to pay for a volume of Encyclopedia Britannica every month for two years. Our kids were regular and enthusiastic users of the library on the fourth floor of the Haakon County Courthouse. The children responded with good school work and several of them have carried their schooling to advanced degrees. In 1957, after we had all our 10 children, I began to have energy to burn. I worked for seven years in restaurants, while I worked at Extension courses and correspondence courses. In 1962 and ‘63, I spent the summers at Spearfish and got a teacher’s permit and a school to teach! Ohmer Cook, in Jackson County, asked if I would teach for #375 a month, since I only had a permit. My first school was the Highway School two miles west of Cottonwood, 18 miles from home. I drove our 1959 Ford. There were eight pupils, Roger Fortune, eighth grade, Gerald Cook and Jerry Johannesen, seventh grade, Norma Brech, sixth grade, Judy Brech, fifth grade, John Fortune, fourth grade, Kent Lurz, second and Kenneth Lurz, first. I was there two years. I loved teaching school, though the kids tried smoking, smooching and hanging. One pulled out my chair and I spanked him. This was your usual rural school of the time! We hauled drinking water. We had fuel oil heat. We had outdoor toilets. Then I had an idea that teachers should change schools often, so I asked for the Weta School, down in the Badlands, 23 miles from home. There three little girls, two of Ted Peterson's and seventh grader Barbara Hagan. It was so lovely there. Of course, I was stuck in the mud, stuck in the snow, and spent three days alone in the teacherage during the big blizzard of 1966. I had propane, though no electricity. The next year there I had three pupils until St. Patrick’s Day, 1967, when Ted Peterson phoned and asked, “Are my girls there?” I replied that they 4 were not. So Ted said, “Well, I guess she has left me!” The rest of the year, my only pupil was Janelle Herber, a first grader. We had good times any way, Sometimes her little sister, Kathleen, could come to school. I dearly loved Miss Ruth Solon, superintendent of Jackson County Schools, who was very helpful. I still owe her a steak. One time I had to take a supervised test to a correspondence course and she kept me at her house and gave me supper. *** From Vinnie – 1. Friends of ours sent a condolence bouquet. My first thought was that Mama would want to sniff all the flowers. Next she’d want to know the name of any bloom she didn’t recognize, and then she’d put the whole shebang in the paper. 2. Mama was always so interested in words. When I saw her for her birthday, I wanted to tell her that I’d just learned the mantra MA in yoga means life … rebirth, regeneration, and resurrection … so every time we said, “Mama,” we were saying, “Life. Life." Milesville News|Janice Parsons • 544-3315 Debbie Hanrahan and Harold Delbridge were married July 3 in Black Hawk. It was a small ceremony attended by most of their children and grandchildren. Congratulations to you, Debbie and Harold! Boyd Stephenson, age 81, died June 30 in Grandview, Mo. Boyd, who was the oldest of eight children, was a resident of Milesville during his growing up years. He is survived by two sisters, Joan Patton, Milesville, and Kay Ainslie, Philip, and one brother, Gary, also of Philip. Two other sisters survive Boyd, Arlene and Sue. Our sympathy goes to all the family of Boyd. Approximately 100 folks enjoyed the evening of July 4th at the Milesville Hall. There was lots of good food, stories about living in the Dirty 30s, games, fireworks and ice cream. Thanks go to Virgil and Carla Smith and family for preparing the roast beef. Dan and Gayla Piroutek had some business calls to make, so they headed to eastern South Dakota last Monday. Tuesday, they visited with Gayla’s mom, Bonnie Peterson, Mitchell, before attending a Sioux Falls Canaries baseball game with daughter, Amy Hogue, and her family. With an early start Wednesday, Dan and Gayla arrived at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri for a visit with Dan’s brother, Joe and Helen Piroutek. A highlight was a boat ride where they saw all the lovely homes right on the lake. Due to all the rain, the lake was the highest that Joe Piroutek had ever seen at his place. It was above their sea wall about three feet. There appeared to be no real damage, except that folks had to wade through water to get to their boats, as most of the walkways to the boat docks were six inches to two feet under water. The docks float, so they were fine. The return home Friday included stops with Amy in Sioux Falls, and Gayla’s mom in Mitchell. Gene and Theresa Deuchar visited family and friends in Terry, Mont., for the July 4th weekend. Prairie County, where Terry, Mont., is located, celebrated its centennial during the celebration.

I’m thinking a bit of both. It was nice to have the gentle rain the other night, as that gentle rain softened some of the cracks and hardness of the ground from those downpours of hard rains and strong winds we’ve been having. The extremely strong winds that hit Hayes, Okaton, Pierre and other places, left evidence of its power in the massive destruction it left behind. The good news is that no lives were lost, at least not that I have heard. We haven’t been watching a whole lot of television lately. Try to catch the weather, but that’s about it for the most part. I am not calling folks for their news for this week’s paper, as the energy level is just not there at the moment, but it will be and I will be back on track once again. For those folks who emailed me their news or gave a call on the phone, that news will be in this week’s paper and I thank them for their kindness in sending me their news. Sharon Hemmingson, Philip, gave me a call asking if I would put in my column that Sanford (Sandy) Ellis, Mesa, Ariz., had passed away, for many folks in this area and those who attended school in Midland, would know Sandy. Sandy graduated from Midland High School with the Class of 1951. My cousin, Joan (Schanzenbach) Parks, graduated with that same class. Sandy’s sister, Aldene, was married to my cousin, Allen Towne, so there is a connection there. Allen’s mom, Alma Towne, was my dad, Walt Meyer’s, sister. Allen passed away some years ago. Aldene is living in a nursing home at Mesa and her sister, Sandra, and husband, Bill Johnson, also live in Mesa. We wish to extend our sympathies to the family of Sandy Ellis. A little bird mentioned that Tim Anderson will be turning 50 July 16. He is the son of George Anderson, Midland, and Tina (Fosheim) Haug, Pierre, and lives on the Anderson farm/ranch south of Midland, where his dad, George, has lived for many years. Bet Tim would enjoy some cards. Happy birthday, Tim! Joy Jones reports the following: June 27, Debbie and Cassidy Trapp took Wyatt Trapp to Sioux Falls, to board the bus taking the Future Business Leaders of America students to Chicago where they would be taking part in the FBLA convention and present their project ideas. Wyatt returned from Chicago July 3 with someone there in Sioux Falls to pick him up. Wyatt reports he enjoyed his experience in Chicago, but has no thoughts of living there one day. He reports there were 11,000 students at the conference from many different countries. He enjoyed the sights like the Sears Tower, a river boat ride and tours in different areas of Chicago. June 29, Chauncey Trapp went to Rapid City to work at the Outdoor Campus West put on by the Game, Fish and Parks. His time was spent teaching groups of young kids about the outdoors, other groups about cleaning fish and helping disabled veterans and older men in wheelchairs, etc. Reports it was a fun experience on both sides! Cassidy Trapp was head cook for the July 3 party in honor of her grandma, Joy Jones’, Fourth of July birthday. Guests included Judy Daly, Steve and Julie Daly, Carson and Dane, Dick and Gene Hudson and grandson, Wyatt Johnson, Scott and Loni Olson and Molly, Devils Lake, N.D., Cindy and Zak Sinkey, Bob and Jodie Schrempp and Baxter, Dupree, Cody and Audrey Jones, the Trapp family and Jerry and Joy. July 4, Deb and Emily Trapp and Jerry and Joy Jones went to the Fourth of July rodeo in Ft. Pierre. Mike Trapp was unable to go because he was on call with West Central. The Olsons, Neil Jones and Cassidy and Wyatt Trapp went to a movie, then headed for Ft. Pierre to watch the fireworks display. Joy reports Ft. Pierre puts on one of the best fireworks display in the area. Cody and Audrey Jones and Chauncey Johnson and friend attended the Ft. Pierre rodeo, as well. Maxine Jones reports the following family news! Shorty and Maxine Jones drove to Sioux Falls, July 2, for an appointment to see about getting Maxine's ankle repaired. After the appointment, they drove on to Papillion, Neb., to visit Don and Nancy Smith. The Smiths moved from Bellevue, Neb., a few months ago. It was fun to see their new home, which is not a split level like their previous house. Both Kimberley and Carly Smith live at Lincoln, Neb., only 40 miles away and were able to spend some time with their parents and grandparents over the July 4 weekend. A baseball game was attended on the third because there was a fantastic fire- Midland Sonia Nemec • 843-2564 [email protected] July 9, 2015 • Pioneer Review Midland summer reading program works show after the game. On the fourth, neighbors invited Smiths and Joneses to bring lawn chairs for their home fireworks. They had three families pooling their fireworks, so that was quite a show, too, with some extra displays from near and far visible at times. New rules in Nebraska or the cities involved made for bigger displays. Saturday afternoon, Don, Nancy, Kimberley, Maxine and Shorty took a drive around the countryside and also toured a wildlife sanctuary before supper. It was interesting to see some of the corn very tall already, some being at least seven feet, as judged by six-foot-tall Don, who was standing near the corn. Midland Market - July 10th meal will be served by the library: Scalloped Potatoes & Ham, Veggies, Fruit, $5.00, from 6 to 8 p.m. Vendors Welcome. Carly's friend, John, and Jessica, a friend of the girls, who is thought of as almost a third daughter by Don and Nancy, also joined the group for supper and visiting. Jessica works at the Omaha zoo, John is an engineering student working for the summer at the university bookstore, Carly waitresses and prepares food at an Asian restaurant, and Kimberley unloads incoming freight at a Target store, all in Lincoln. It is hard for all of them to have time off so they can get together, so they had lots to talk about! Driving home, Shorty and Maxine had to pull off the road at White River due to an extremely hard rainstorm, with a little hail and lots of wind. Sitting in a driveway at the north end of the football field, we were glad not to be driving with the zero visibility and the level ground of the field and the driveway of Adrian Trucking were inches deep in water when we drove away. It has been a family tradition to gather at the home of Cam and Michelle Meinzer for the July 4th holiday. Teresa Palmer went to Midland on the afternoon of the 3rd to help her sister, Christine Niedan, start preparing food for that special day. Gathering together with Cam for a potluck dinner at their home were Roy and Carol Hunt, Keith Hunt, Chris, Teresa, Roger and Peg Johnson, Pierre, Janice Tolton and friends, Tom and Mary Parquet. Michelle joined the group in the afternoon after she finished her shift at the Philip Nursing Home. Cam and Tom prepared a special treat of deep fried fish, pheasant and Tom's smoked turkey. The after- Courtesy Photos This year’s Midland Library summer reading program was held each Friday during June. The theme was “Catch a Dragon by the Tale,” so, of course, the attendees read dragon books, did dragon projects and ate dragon snacks. They sang songs, such as “Bingo,” “Farmer in the Dell” and “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” doing all the actions. To top it off, they then read silly books about dragons. Approximately 20 kids attended all together, along with parents and grandparents. Each session ended with a visit to the Midland Library. Shown above, back row from left, are Cole Finn, Ridge Furnival, Cass Finn, Sarah Huston, Brianna Aske, Stetson Jones, Josie Jones, Molly Olson and Jonathan Neuharth.

This video was done by Keith Hunt and emceed by Jack Rush and George Stroppel. It was interesting to see the changes in people in the past 25 years! Roger and Peg returned to Pierre in the late afternoon and the rest of the group enjoyed a supper of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. There were plenty of fireworks in the neighborhood to enjoy that evening. Teresa returned to Murdo early Sunday morning to be at work. Cousin Beth (Walker) Carter was in Midland Monday. Roy Hunt and I had a visit with her in front of Ernie’s Building Center. From there she was going to make a stop at cousin Christine Niedan’s with Jan Tolton, Keith Hunt and Michelle Meinzer also there having a chance to visit with Beth. Beth has a daughter in Rapid City and having a good report from her cancer doctor, she stopped in Midland on her way home to Bryant, where she lives in the home of her late parents, Henry and Anna (Fosheim) Walker, the home where Beth and her siblings grew up in. We wish to extend our sympathies to the families of Art Bergeson whose funeral service was Monday of this week. Art and Winnie (Nemec) Bergeson have been married for many years and if memory serves me correctly, they had four children who are now adults with families. Jerry and I wish to thank all of you who have been supportive, it has meant a whole lot. I wish to leave you with the following motto which was on the graduating page of the high school graduating Class of 1989 – “Each of us has different talents, different dreams, and different destinations. But we all have the power to make a new tomorrow.” Have a good week! Betwixt Places| Marsha Sumpter • 837-2048 [email protected] Greetings from near Sutton, Neb. We hope that everyone enjoyed celebrating the Fourth of July. It would have been a good time to study the struggles encountered to break free from the British and become independent. Had our forefathers not had the courage and the countrymen not had the conviction, our history would have been so different. Maybe instead of folks rewriting history that is already behind us, someone should write how it would have been if history was changed! Monday, June 29, I was on the road with the Haakon County Prairie Transportation van to Rapid City. I did some business around Kadoka as well. The little vans that are available in Philip, Wall and Kadoka serve a great service to those communities for folks who need to make trips just downtown, to surrounding areas for medical reasons, shopping or even sightseeing. George Gittings attended services for Darrel Peterson Monday. He went on to Midland and Pierre on business in the afternoon. Don Moody has been trying to get some haying done the first part of the week.

This weather sure doesn't feel like July, but it is nice to have a little respite from the heat. The haze we are experiencing is mostly smoke from fires in Canada – thank goodness we don't have those fires here! We had a brief shot of moisture a day or so ago and it looks like we have a couple more chances for rain this week. The winter wheat is getting close to being ready for harvest, so I hope the hail and strong winds stay away. News from the garden is not very exciting. My garden was planted late this year, so the veggies are a little slow in coming. Some of the green beans will be ready for harvest this week – the plants that the rabbits didn't eat. The second planting of beans will be about a week later. It has just been such a crazy year, weatherwize – I guess we'll just take what we get and be thankful for it. I noticed that some of the chokecherries are about ready to be picked, while others are still completely green. Also, my favorite apple tree that sustained so much damage during the May snowstorm is all sorts of confused. It had bloomed and apples set on, then the tree dropped the apples. Now there are new blooms on one of the branches! I hope the tree can survive the trauma! I hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July! It looked like there were celebrations in many towns and communities in the area. The holiday is generally celebrated with parades, rodeos, fireworks, picnics, etc. When I was growing up my father, Joe Brown, was a state fire marshal and one of his duties was to inspect the fireworks stands to make sure they weren't selling illegal fireworks. He impressed upon us kids how dangerous fireworks could be if handled incorrectly and I still have a healthy respect for them! Thanks, Dad. On to the news: Kevin and Mary Neuhauser went to Belle Fourche Friday to join a group of friends, including the parents of their Community daughter, Sarah's, friend, Eric, to celebrate the July 4th holiday. While there, they also visited with Lynn and Nina (Neuhauser) Nachtigall, Clayton Neuhauser and his friend, Mary, and the Larry Joachims – friends of Lynn and Nina. Part of the group attended the Black Hills Roundup Rodeo Friday evening before returning to Sarah's home to watch the fireworks. On the way back to the ranch Saturday afternoon, Kevin and Mary stopped to visit with Dan and Lynelle Chapman at their home in Sturgis. Several of Dan's family were there and they had a nice visit. Dan Chapman and Kevin have been friends since childhood. Dan's father was Coke Chapman and they lived at the Hamilton place. Sunday, Kevin and Mary attended baseball games at Four Corners. Their nephew, Cody Boger, and his family arrived Sunday and spent a couple of days at the ranch before heading to Watford City, N.D. Cody and his wife, Gabby, and kids, Peyton and Gracie, will be joining Cody's parents, Connie and Bunky Boger, in North Dakota and will be helping them at various fairs for the rest of the season. There was a lot going on for Lee and Mary Briggs over the July 4th holiday. June 29, their grandson, Chancy, and his fiancée, Mandi Moore, Jacksonville, N.C., flew in to Rapid City where they were picked up by Chancy's uncle and aunt, Shad and Jenifer Riggle. They returned to Chancy's parents home, Clay and Rea Riggle's, that evening. Wednesday after work, Mary watched her granddaughter, Kinsey Riggle, do some barrel racing in Ft. Pierre. Lee finished all of his planting by Wednesday evening. Thursday, Lee and Mary hosted a picnic at their home in honor of the upcoming Fourth of July holiday and also in honor of having their grandson, Chancy, and his fiancée home for a visit. It was well attended by many of the Briggs and Riggle family members. Saturday, the 4th, Lee and Mary went to Clay and Rea (Briggs) Riggle's home near Pierre to have a cookout and watch the Milesville News|Janice Parsons • 544-3315 continued from 4 Last Wednesday, Karen Gebes and kids of Horace, N.D., stopped to see Mike and Linda Gebes before continuring on to Sturgis to visit her family. Darren spent Thursday night with his parents, then went to Sturgis Friday morning for a Bestgen reunion. All of Tim and Judy Elshere's family, with the exception of Scott's son, Holden, were home for the July 4th weekend. They celebrated Judy's July 4, birthday. Shea Olivier also has his birthday on the fourth. Sunday, Bryan and Sharon Olivier and Tyler Olivier and Stacy Lewis, Pierre, were in Rapid City to help him celebrate with dinner out and a trip to Reptile Gardens. The Crooners traveled to White River Saturday evening to entertain at their all-school reunion. Lana Elshere was in Martin Monday through Wednesday helping her brother, Curt Arthur, with some painting at the bee farm. July 4th weekend, Pat Hanra- han visited her parents and other family in Burke. Mark drove to Philip Saturday to visit his mother, Phyllis Hanrahan. Boyd and Kara Parsons visited Joanne Parsons in Rapid City over the weekend. Happy birthday to Joanne whose birthday was July 6. Monday, after some appointments in Pierre, Jodi, Rachel and Sarah Parsons met Jodi's parents, Mike and Betty McDonnell, Highmore, for lunch. Carol (Staben) Burroughs, Bozeman, Mont., was visiting in the neighborhood last weekend. She stayed with Bryan and Sharon Olivier, Friday and Saturday nights. June weather information: Total precipitation for the month was 4.62”. Average high was 81˚. The three hottest days were 95˚ on the 9th, 92˚ on the 29th and 91˚ on the 27th. Average low was 56˚.

Many of Clay and Rea's friends and relatives attended. Mary said she and Lee were home by dark! Sunday, Lee visited at Chase Briggs' place for a bit. In the afternoon, Lee and Mary went to the Four Corners baseball game. It was a nice cool day for a game – certainly not typical July weather. Chancy and Mandi watched part of the game also, so it was nice to have the opportunity to visit with them a bit more. Rea Riggle and daughter Kinsey took Chancy and Mandi to Rapid City Monday to catch a plane back to North Carolina. Lee was in Pierre and Philip on business Monday. Mary said now that it is dry enough to put up hay, she is seeing lots of people in the fields, making hay while the sun shines, as the saying goes. Dick and Gene Hudson went to the Mike Trapp home Friday evening for a birthday supper in honor of Joy Jones' birthday. Saturday, they went to Milesville to take part in the July 4th celebration there. Their son, Wyatt, joined them on both outings. Wyatt's parents, Jon and Connie Johnson, are still gone to the national BB gun competition. Nels and Dorothy Paulson were in town Thursday to stock up on supplies. Friday, they had a brief visit from neighbors, Polly Bruce, Vince and his son, Riley. Saturday, Nels and Dorothy were in Ft. Pierre to watch the parade. Otherwise, they have been fairly close to home. Dorothy said that next Saturday evening there will be a potluck supper at Deep Creek Church, beginning at 6 p.m. Services will follow. Coreen Roseth said she and Julian have been staying close to home also. The haying operation is in full swing, with lots of bales dotting the landscape. The cattle will sure appreciate it next winter! Duane Roseth was in Philip last Tuesday afternoon attending Jerry Ingram's retirement open house. On the 4th, Duane and Lola took a scenic route south of Kadoka on their way to Interior to watch the parade there. Lola said they also toured the campground at Interior – very nice facility. Last Wednesday, Arlyne Markwed, Emilie Sammons, Coreen Norman, Jeanine Gabriel, Cindy Bresee and Pam Kendall all enjoyed a ladies lunch in Pierre in honor of Pam's birthday. It is an annual gathering and the ladies enjoy it so much that they are thinking of making sure it happens more than once a year! Not the birthday part, of course! Pam is the niece of Arlyne and Emilie, and Coreen, Cindy and Jeanine are her cousins. Saturday, Billy and Arlyne were in Ft. Pierre for the parade. In the afternoon, they were down by the river, watching their grandkids play in the water. They attended the evening rodeo, then went to Bruce and Cindy (Markwed) Bresee's apartment to enjoy birthday cake in honor of July 9, 2015 • Pioneer Review Seager is story hour hero 7 Courtesy photo Haakon County Public Library’s story hour theme of “Every Hero Has a Story” continued July 1 when Pat Seager came in and talked to the kids about freedom, the constitution and what it means to be a veteran. The kids asked great questions and afterwards had a water balloon war and decorated the courthouse sidewalk with flags in honor of the 4th of July. Library Coordinator Missy Koester invites all children to the weekly story hour, held every Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. T.J. Gabriel's July 3 birthday. It was red velvet cake – a family tradition! Arlyne said the tradition was started many years ago by Ruth Neuhauser. Sunday, Billy and Arlyne attended the baseball games at Four Corners. Their grandson, Tate Gabriel, is one of the pitchers for the Four Corners team. Happy belated birthday to T.J. Gabriel. T.J. and my dad share a birthday. My dad always said he was supposed to be a firecracker, but as it turned out he was only a punk! If you knew Dad, you would understand his humor. Chase and Kelly Briggs and family have enjoyed having Chase's brother, Beau, back for a visit from his home in Texas. July 5, Chase and Kelly had a gathering at their home with all of Chase's siblings and other family members in attendance. Nancy Stirling Neuhauser recently returned from a family reunion at Fort Assiniboine in Canada. It was a reunion of her mother's side of the family and the family name was Sheren. There were about 85 relatives in attendance, with the majority of them living in Canada, although there were some from Dakota Dunes. Nancy and her daughters, Julie and Cindy, attended and they made the acquaintance of many family members they had never met before. They visited the cemetery where Nancy's grandmother is buried, as well as two of her uncles. Nancy also visited the site where her grandmother homesteaded. Nancy is already looking forward to next year's reunion! After Nancy returned from Canada, she joined a card playing group Wednesday and a potluck at the senior center in Pierre Thursday. Saturday, Nancy and Raymond attended the parade in Ft. Pierre. Following the parade, several of Nancy's children and their families joined Ray and Nancy for a family lunch at their home. The evening of the 4th, Ray and Nancy enjoyed the band concert in the park in Pierre and the fireworks. Dave and Laura Hand were in Philip last Tuesday so Dave could keep a doctor's appointment. They went to Sioux Falls over the Fourth to visit their son, Jeff, and his family. The group went to Lennox for the parade and activities there. They returned home Sunday in time to watch the ballgames at Four Corners. Monday, they had a house full of grandkids – which is just the way they like it! Shirley Halligan said Frank is doing pretty well following his recent knee surgery. He goes to physical therapy twice weekly in Pierre. Frank and Shirley were in town over the July 4th holiday, and they attended the parade in Ft. Pierre. Their camper was a victim of the wind storm that blew through the area a couple of weeks ago, so Shirley spent part of the weekend getting it cleaned out and ready for the insurance guys. Sunday, Frank and Shirley visited continued on 12 Thank You … We don’t really know how to say thank you to the community of Philip and surrounding areas for all the support that you have given Ingram Hardware through the years.

For example, my fly agaric specimen is both hallucinogenic and poisonous. It af- fects the central nervous system and causes delirium. The destroying angel is poisonous and contains a toxin which destroys the liver and kidneys, and kills. Now what does this have to do with our outdoor cooking from a to z event? In addition to our cooking demonstration with Dutch ovens and pie irons, we will be looking at edible and poisonous wild plants in our area.

Last year’s first detection was a human case reported in a Hughes County resident on June 27. “This detection means the virus is here and now being transmitted,” said Dr. Lon Kightlinger, state epidemiologist for the Department of Health. “It’s time to get in the habit of using repellent to protect against mosquitoes.” Nelsons at Interior Ranch Rodeo Robyn Jones/Kadoka Press SDRA rodeo results The Interior Ranch Rodeo was Friday, July 3.

The evening ended in Milesville with the annual fireworks display. Courtesy Photos Wade Piroutek reloading with water balloons at Milesville. The community of Milesville held its annual Fourth of July celebration, Saturday, July 4. The traditional roast beef supper was followed by an auction of the remaining roasts. All proceeds went toward the maintenance of the Mileville Hall. Games for children and adults included hula hoop races and water balloons. Homemade ice cream was provided by the Milesville Rangers 4-H Club. The fireworks display was sponsored by the Milesville Volunteer Fire Department. The day of July 4 was hot, so most of the crowd gathered inside the air conditioned Milesville Hall to visit before supper during the annual Milesville celebration. The children played in the park with the usual equipment, plus sidewalk chalk, hopscotch, tetherball and a soft dart game. After the roast beef dinner, prepared by the Virgil Smith family and their crew, Gayla Piroutek led the crowd in group participation activities about dance halls of the 1930s and some of the expressions used by folks of that era, many expression still in our conversations today. The roast beef auction is the main fundraiser for Outdoor Campus West annual event F Are you and your family interested in learning a new outdoor activity together? The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks' Outdoor Campus-West in Rapid City will host its fourth annual outdoor university, Saturday, July 11, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. MDT.

Once again, folks were very generous, paying dearly for each roast. There was a new auctioneer this year. Lonnie Arneson, Elm Springs, stopped by to help out by taking the microphone and crying the sale. Next it was outside for a hula hoop relay race, followed by water balloon contests and tosses until there were no balloons left. Young and old really enjoyed the water balloons. Donna and Tina Staben provided homemade ice cream, just before the shower of fireworks provided by the Milesville Volunteer Fire Department. And thus concluded the 20th annual Milesville July 4th celebration for 2015. Fireworks over Lake Waggoner A hula hoop relay race was part of the fun and games at the annual Fourth of July celebration at Milesville. Space for fireworks Del Bartels Checked and double checked, and waiting for dusk. Over a dozen members of the Philip Volunteer Fire Department helped prepare and present the department’s annual fireworks display Friday, July 3, over Lake Waggoner. Viewers came from the Philip area and many surrounding towns. The materials cost $6,500, even with an early order discount. There were four 12-inch shells, numerous six-, five-, four- and three-inch shells, and 18 cakes which had 36 to 150 shots in each box of assorted sizes from 1.5 to 2.5 inches. PVFD also covered the cost of insurance. Shown are just a very few of the mortar tubings readied for the fireworks. Above, the newly redone parking areas for the demolition derby pit at Lake Waggoner offered ample space for vehicles and for private fireworks. Below, the refurbished beach, with enclosing poles and guard wire to keep vehicles out, was also a perfect spot for kids of all ages to get together for their own fireworks. Almost every place was a good spot to view the Philip Volunteer Fire Department’s annual fireworks display. m Bin ar F ROO Lonnie Arneson helped auction off roast beef.

Jane Schrank, director of the driver licensing program, said the extra revenue raised will help fund the program itself. “Our goal is to always wisely use the money raised from the fees,” she said. “The average current cost to operate the program equates to $29.75 per driver license or identification card issued. It is predicted that the new increase will keep the program solvent until Fiscal Year 2024.” Drivers are reminded that they can renew their licenses starting 180 days prior to expiration. The driver licensing program is part of the South Dakota Department of Public Safety. July 9, 2015 • Pioneer Review Deadlinoe: Fridays at Noon Betwixt Places| Marsha Sumpter • 837-2048 [email protected] continued from 6 the house, he said WD 40 was a way to keep them away once the residue of their building was washed away. It seems to be working. Tony Harty kept a doctor’s appointment in Philip Tuesday morning. He enjoyed lunch at the sale barn and saw a lot of folks who were there for the sale as well as lunch. He did his usual getting of the mail and calls the first part of the week. Tuesday, June 30, Bill and I made a trip to Rapid City where I kept eye doctor appointments. We did some other business and stopped for a visit with Cori Barber and great-grandsons, Ryder and Raiden Seager, before heading for home. Tuesday was Cathy Fiedler’s last official day of work for Sturgis Long Term Care. She worked the day with it ending with a party from the staff. In the evening, coworkers Sonja, Char, Dorothy and Cathy went out for supper to celebrate Dorothy and Cathy’s retirement. Friday was Dorothy’s last day also. Those gals will be greatly missed. George and Sandee Gittings were in Philip Tuesday, then George went to Midland to finish up the business started Monday. Wade, Jessica and Melodie McGruder had supper with George and Sandee Gitrtings Tuesday evening. We were saddened to learn of the passing of Boyd Stephenson Tuesday. Over the years, Boyd has communicated with me by email, sharing how when he wired the big, old, sheep shed at our farm for my dad, Wayne Fairchild, he received wages. He said that job gave him a worth, so he could ask for wages after that. Ed Stephenson was the one who originally built that big, old shed and Dad said he could stretch lumber and it was evident in the fact that after the shed was built the roof was a normal peaked roof, but when it was full of sheep in the winter there wasn’t enough ventilation. How he did it I don’t know, but the north half of this shed, that was about 120 feet long, the roof on that side was raised about three feet higher, extended to be straight up from the south half and screen installed. That was good quality screen because I only repaired a couple of the frames where nails worked out. To make the extension, he cut 2x4s at an angle to toe-nail them into place and those extension were still there in 2004, a span of over 60 years. Boyd was a classmate to cousin Clifford Fairchild and he recalled most of the other students, as well as the teacher. Our sympathy to the family. Wednesday, July 1, was a pleasant day. Bill took the scooter over to visit Dale O’Connell. Those two can talk cars and lawn mower repairs any time of the day or night. Phyllis Word and I went downtown Kadoka and did business, then had coffee and pie ala-mode before heading home. I was doing a little weed spraying and the mosquitoes are vicious. That evening, Zack Seager, Ryder and Raiden came down to spend the night. The boys were going to Nebraska to visit grandma Shelley Seager and their cousins from Madison and Harrisburg Dan and Wendy Shackleton, Dalles, Wis., arrived at George and Sandee Gittings’ Wednesday. They did some hunting at Eric Neville’s Thursday and then traveled to North Dakota Friday. Don Moody was getting a little hay baled, trying to make sure he doesn’t get too much down and get caught with rain. Wednesday NOTICE The Haakon County Commissioners are closing a portion of the Ash Creek Road beginning Monday, July 6th for approximately two months, due to the work of replacing the two bridges located on this road. The portion of the road that runs past the Price/Stangle residence will be completely shut down while these bridges are being replaced. Please find an alternate route during this time. If you have any questions, please contact the Haakon County Auditor at 859-2800 (Philip) or the Haakon County Highway Department at 859-2472. after coming in from the hay field, he couldn’t find the bigger dog after they went out. He said he did a lot of looking all over and calling and was getting pretty worried when he thought he saw something white under a shed. There was the dog, wedged in and unable to get out. He had to jack up the building a little to release her and she didn’t bark for him at all. Where is that Lassie instinct when you need it? Early Thursday morning, Bill and I and great-grandsons Ryder and Raiden were on the road to Sutton, Neb., arriving at the home of Mike Rath and Shelley Seager just as a rain cloud went through. In fact, it rained so bad at Sutton Bill pulled over to wait it out. Grandson Chase May, Carly and great-grandsons, Jaxon and Talen, Madison, arrived in the evening and the boys all got to catch fireflies as the sun went down and they were blinking all over the yard. A good way to run off some energy after a long ride. Tony Harty got the mail and picked up our paper as well as the mail Thursday and the rest of the week. July 3, granddaughter Amanda and Adam Claflin, Harrisburg, joined the rest of the clan in the afternoon here in Sutton. It was a very pleasant day. They brought a pop-up camper that they have worked hard to restore and it was their second trip out with it They set up camp by the house, Chase and Carly and boys used Mike and Shelley’s fifth wheel and Ryder and Raiden were in the house with Shelley. Bill and I and the cats were in the motor home. The evening was enjoyed by helping the little ones catch fireflies, then releasing them before they went to bed. Friday evening, Ralph and Cathy Fiedler packed up their chairs and some snacks and headed for Belle Fourche to meet the family to watch the fireworks. Sherry (Fiedler) Hanson had a good spot saved for all of them, so while they took the kids to the carnival, Ralph and Cathy watched the traffic and people. They had a great view right above the fairgrounds and river bank. Don, Lynette and Hannah Klumb joined them, also Sue Regan, Sturgis, and her son, Reed, and family from Denver, Colo. Another year for great fireworks put on by Belle Fourche. Cathy said it was a warm weekend, but set the mood for the Fourth of July activities. They got 30/100s of rain Sunday night. Thanks to M.R. Hansen for contributing the wonderful letter from Vivian’s niece from 1959. It was so well put and captured the essence of a wonderful woman. George and Sandee Gittings and Eric and Alana Neville had supper in town Friday evening. Tony Harty reported it was pretty hazy in the Kadoka area Friday, July 3. Saturday, July 4, was a beautiful day, a little breeze and just right. Shelley had things very well planned to keep folks busy, fed and everything went well. Mike’s mother, Janet Rath, Sutton, Neb., came out for lunch and an early supper and enjoyed watching bowling balls being converted into various different things. Amanda made a Miss Kitty, two Spiderman balls were painted as well as a lady bug. Bonnie Moses and Dave Manwarren arrived with Bonnie’s wonderful potato salad and Dave had a bow he’d made using the skin from two rattlesnakes and a variety of Atlalt spears which he got Adam and Chase excited about. Between watching the little boys play with the chickens, swimming, crafts and spear throwing, a fine time was had by all. I will say that I threw one spear, it hit the hay bale and being wise enough to know it wouldn’t 10 get much better than that, I went to watch the boys play. That evening, Chase and Adam set off a display of fireworks and we also watched some off in the distance. Saturday morning, July 4, Ralph and Cathy Fiedler repacked the snack bag and headed back to Belle Fourche for the Fourth of July parade. The family was all there except Tessa and Caitlin Klumb. After another great parade, Ralph and Cathy took Highway 212 home to look the country over. You can still see where the hailstorm went through Nisland. The country is very lush and green. They saw some great looking oats and the wheat is starting to turn. Lot of hay put up, but still have lots to put up yet. The dam is full and lots of boaters and campers there. Don Klumb was the only one who joined Ralph and Cathy for a traditional Fourth supper. Lynette had to work in the evening and Hannah wasn’t feeling good. The Eric Hanson family came later. They shot a few fireworks off before Sturgis did. Bev (their neighbor) joined them on the back deck for popcorn and they all watched the fireworks. Sunday was a day to relax. July 11 there will be a birthday bash and retirement party for Cathy Fiedler in Sturgis. If you want to help her celebrate turning 65 and retirement from her work as a CNA at the nursing home, you may have to use Facebook for all the details. Daughter Sherry (Fiedler) Hanson wrote this about Cathy, “She went to work outside of our home when I was in fifth grade to help support the family. She has been an inspiration for the love and dedication she has shown so many residents, family members and coworkers over the years! You will not find a woman with a bigger heart and ability to love! We are very proud to have her as mom, grandma and friend! We love you Mom! Enjoy your well deserved retirement!” Saturday was a hot day in Kadoka and Tony Harty tried to keep cool at home most of the day. As it got cooler in the evening, he went by the ball diamond and watched fireworks there and around the area. Don Moody made hay while the sun was shining and got most all the hay baled that he had down and was keeping a watch on the weather before he would go at windrowing more. Tony Harty attended church Sunday morning. It was another hot day. Later in the afternoon, he visited with Dale Koehn who was working in the garden. As the evening approached, it seemed like some weather could come in. Tony took a drive a little ways out of town to look at the clouds. It rained 40/100s in the night. Minna Mahlad, Grinnell, Iowa, arrived at George and Sandee Gittings’ Sunday afternoon to spend the night. Wade, Jessica and Melodie McGruder had supper with George and Sandee Gittings Sunday evening. Meanwhile back at the farm/ ranch here by Sutton, Neb., the little boys were busy feeding chickens, cats and calves. Sunday morning, Chase, Carley, Jaxon and Talen were on the road home to Madison. They made good time. We are so thankful everyone was able to come and spend time together. Sunday was hot, but that didn’t stop little boys from playing in the water and many trips to see the chickens and cats. Janet Rath stopped by in the late afternoon for one more tickle of the boys and to pick up a roaster Shelley had borrowed. Amanda and Adam spent some time practicing with the atlatl spears, then they weathered their first rain storm that night in their little glamper that they have worked so hard to make into a precious little home on wheels. It rained just short of an inch in the night. “Time is nature’s way of preventing everything from happening at once.” Daysies Social Columnists Needed Immediately for the Philip Social News If you are interested in contributing to a weekly social news column in the Pioneer Review, please call Kelly at 859-2516 for more information!

July 9, 2015 • Pioneer Review Opening Of The Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center This week I attended the dedication of the Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center in Lead. The visitor center will be something for South Dakotans and travelers from all over the world to see. Here people will learn about the history of Homestake and the Sanford Lab projects. The Sanford Underground Research Facility is in the process of partnering with the Fermilab in Batavia, Ill., to prepare for the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility and the associated Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (LBNF/DUNE). This future experiment is a result of groundbreaking research that occurred in the lab while it was still the Homestake Mine. This research, conducted by Ray Davis from the mid-1960s through the 1990s, sought small, neutral particles called neutrinos which generally pass right through the earth undetected and unimpeded. Because of their lack of interaction, their existence was only theoretical. Ray Davis, through an uncombination of precedented chemistry and physics, developed a way to use the low background radiation environment in the mine to prove the existence of neutrinos. Initially, other scientists wrote off Davis’ project as a failure because he was detecting just onethird of the neutrinos he had expected to find. Eventually he was proven right when other scientists at SnoLab in Canada discovered that neutrinos spontane- ously change, or oscillate as they travel, changing between three types. Davis’ research changed physics forever, and in 2002 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his neutrino experiment. Now a new generation of physicists is building on Davis’ research to make their own discoveries underground at Sanford Lab. Scientists will use a high intensity neutrino beam to send neutrinos from Batavia, Ill., to Lead. Continuing the work Davis started, this experiment will attempt to explain Emotions and money during hard finances When families are faced with financial uncertainty or sudden income loss, addressing the situations takes more than just thinking about dollars and cents, said Carrie Johnson, assistant professor and South Dakota State University Extension family resource management specialist. "Attitudes, values and feelings about money come from our childhood and upbringing, as well as our own current family experiences," Johnson said. "Changes happen in life, and sometimes families have little or no control. Shock and denial are the first reactions people experience, and we need to help families understand these emotions are part of the process that will then lead them to move to adjusting their spending plans and getting themselves back on solid ground." Avian influenza has had a significant financial impact on many families in the state. Working through the cycle of grief caused by a sudden drop in income allows families to plan for how to adjust their financial picture with clear heads, and the entire family should be a part of those conversations. "It is important to adjust your spending and the whole family, including children, needs to talk about the necessary spending adjustments because the decisions affect all members," Johnson said. "When children are not part of the planning and discussion, they may think they are somehow a cause of the problem and have unrealistic fears. Not only does a whole family approach help avoid pitting one family member's ideas against another's, but you'd be surprised at how children can be a part of the solutions, too." Johnson also advised being proactive with creditors. She said, after an honest appraisal of your finances, it is best to call your creditors and explain your financial situation rather than waiting until you are long past due on payments. Some creditors might be willing to allow partial bill payment or negotiate other strategies with you. SDSU Extension is cooperating with University of Minnesota Extension and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach to provide resources for families struggling with the human challenges brought on by avian influenza. Extension staff from the three landgrant universities are providing families with research based information and resources. properties of neutrinos, why they change and the nature of their changing states. While for most of us particle physics has many blind spots, the light this experiment can shed on at least one of them could be key to understanding the universe. Sometimes in South Dakota, because we are small in population, and because we are largely rural, we have a bit of an inferiority complex. We sometimes fall into thinking that we can’t be the best or lead the way. But that’s not true. And the things happening at the Sanford Underground Research Facility prove that we are a state that explores uncharted territory. Since 1967, a panel of prominent scientists and academics, the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel, has advised the federal govern- ment about experimental and theoretical high energy physics. Recently this panel identified three physics projects around the world as high priority: one in Japan, one in Switzerland and the Long Baseline Neutrino experiment right here in Lead. In its P5 report, the panel called that experiment the physics project in America. It’s not hard to imagine that through this project another physicist working here in Lead could win a Nobel Prize. This visitor center will not only keep the Homestake story alive, but make it so the physics project in America doesn’t just stay below the surface. Updates about the Long Baseline Neutrino, Majorana and the LUX dark matter experiments will be available at this visitor center, so that people of all ages can learn about the cuttingedge research being conducted below. This new visitor center will play a role in passing a love of science on to future generations. It has the potential to spark in our young people a hunger for knowledge and a passion for possibilities. Moenville News|Leanne Neuhauser • 567-3325 continued from 7 with Jerry and Marie Sylva. Ruth Neuhauser had a surprise visit Sunday from her grandson, Cody Boger, his wife, Gabby, and their children, Peyton and Gracie, Florida. What a great surprise! As I mentioned earlier, Cody and his family are headed to North Dakota to join his parents and help them with their educational agriculture exhibit at various fairs for the remainder of the season. Cody and his family spent Saturday afternoon and night with Jen (Neuhauser) and Ross Tschetter and their daughter, Caroline, at their farm near Salem. Our week here was a typical summer week – always more projects than there are hours in the day! But I love the longer days and warmer temperatures. Last Thursday, I went to Kadoka to Mike and Chelsea we might have to take the stroller next year also, whether Maddie needs it or not! This week, I am grateful to live in a country where we can celebrate our independence – something I hope to never take for granted. All you have to do is watch 10 or 15 minutes of the news and you'll see the horrors of people who live without independence. Thanks to our forefathers for creating an independent country and thanks to all the men and women who have fought through the years to keep us free. With all the haying, farming and soon harvesting activities in full swing, I hope all of you will take the time to be safe! It only takes a second for a normal day to turn tragic – make sure that doesn't happen! Otherwise, smile and wave at those you meet! It will make someone's day!

Our daughter, Chelsea, her husband, Mike, and their daughter, Maddie, spent the day in Rapid City. Saturday, Randy and I and our daughter, Chelsea, her husband, Mike, and their daughter, Maddie, enjoyed the parade in Ft. Pierre, along with lots of other people. It is always such a popular event. Randy's brother, Craig, had one of his old, restored John Deere tractors in the parade, pulling a float. We had a stroller along for little Maddie to be in, however it got a little warm for her, so her parents took her to the vehicle to cool off, leaving the stroller parked in front of Randy and me. That stroller came in pretty handy when the floats came by that had people shooting water at the crowd – lots of people around us got kind of wet, but we stayed nice and dry because the shooters were avoiding shooting the stroller.
