At their regular meeting May 1,
2012, the Haakon County Commis-
sion heard a proposal of a frisbee
golf course, tabled a raffle request
from Mike Moses, discussed insur-
ance and discussed the housing at
Robbs Flat for a highway depart-
ment employee.
Cord Terkildsen, Philip, ap-
proached the commission with a re-
quest to install a frisbee golf course
on county land adjacent to Lake
Waggoner.
The nine-hole course would cost
between $2,700 and $3,500 to in-
stall. Most of that cost is for the
metal poles and baskets. Terkild-
sen said he would raise the funds
to purchase the materials for the
course. There would be no cost to
the county, he said.
The course would be laid out by
the camping area and north of the
county shop. He would like to in-
stall some type of pad at the tee
box, possibly wood chips inside of
wooden landscape timbers.
Currently the area is cut for hay
once a year. Terkildsen said some
of the area might have to be cut
other than when it is cut for hay.
The board was in favor of the
proposal, but agreed they would
need to find out liability and insur-
ance issues before giving the go
ahead for the project.
Highway Superintendent Kenny
Neville told the board that the
trailer house located at Robbs Flat
would need to be completely re-
plumbed, according to an estimate
he received. The cost would be be-
tween $3,500 and $4,500 to re-
plumb the house. He said the
insulation has also settled in the
walls. Neville noted that there was
a severe mouse issue in the house
as well. Chairman Ed Briggs voiced
his concerns regarding mice chew-
ing on the wiring.
The board discussed the cost of
purchasing a used trailer for the lo-
cation. A cost of $25,000 to $30,000
was estimated for replacing the
trailer house, bringing West
River/Lyman-Jones water to the
site and removal of the existing
trailer. Commissioner Gary Snook
stated, You could save that in a
winter.
Commissioner Rita OConnell
said that she would like the county
to have someone up there since the
Haakon School District is reopen-
ing the rural school there. Briggs
said that many of the landowners
up there had been opening the
roads themselves after snow-
storms.
Neville said that he does have an
employee that would be willing to

The outgoing Philip City Council
began the monthly meeting, Mon-
day, May 7. After some old busi-
ness was addressed, the new mayor
and city council members were
sworn in to finish the meeting.
Its time for me to get the heck
out of here, joked Mayor John
Hart. Its been a good 12 years. Its
been interesting, but we have to
live here. You may not agree with
what the city does, but you have to
stay consistant and watch prece-
dent. I had a good mentor. Its been
good. Hart became Philips 17th
mayor in 2000, and filled three
four-year terms.
First official duty, announced
Michael Vetter, the new mayor, I
have a proclamation for Mayor
Hart. Vetter then read the procla-
mation declaring Hart Day. (See
full proclamation on page two of
this issue.)
Outgoing council members
Shirley Chin and John Kangas
watched as Jennifer Henrie, Mar-
ion Matt, Trisha Larson, Marty
Gartner, Greg Arthur and Jason
Harry took their oaths of office.
Arthur was chosen as the councils
president, and Matt as vice presi-
dent.
The council approved the inspec-
tion report by John Irvine, certified
building inspector, of the demoli-
tion project at 204 E. Pine Street.
Though interest of seven percent
had been set on the special assess-
ment attached to the property to
pay for the city doing the demoli-
tion, the amount of time to pay off
the amount had not been set. It is
now set for within seven years.
The airplane, now minus its en-
gine, still being stored at the Philip
airport, has changed owners sev-
eral times since its arrival. The
lease for storage will be terminated
by the city.
An executive session was held
with City Attorney Gay Tollefson.
No discussion or action followed.
The council reviewed a recent
survey of Hoag Avenue, then ap-
proved a petition to vacate the west
10 feet of Hoag Avenue, as pre-
sented by John Jack Rush and
Fred Hoag.
Building permits were approved
for Christine Andrus to put up a
fence, deck and retaining wall, An-
drea Carley to demolish a trailer
house and remove a tree, Charles
and Ruth Ann Carstensen to re-
place a sidewalk, Mindy Green to
do landscaping, asphalt or concrete
a driveway and put up a fence and
deck/pergola, Gloria Jelinek to put
up a 10x 12 shed, Aaron Johnson
to remove an old garage and re-
place it with a garage from Park
Avenue property, remove trees, pri-
vacy fence, Rene Konst to reshingle
a roof, put up a tin shed, repair
foundation, replace steps and do
bathroom improvements, Ron and
Laurie Mann to put up a garage,
addition and pergola, Audrey Neif-
fer to repair a porch floor and re-
taining wall, Jason and Tammy
Rhodes to replace deck and steps,
Jack Rush to build an east side ad-
dition and put in a water tap, Mike
and Lori Seager to replace a con-
crete pad with a deck, Rick and
Selma Thorson to build a deck,
Branden and Tayta West to build a
house and garage.
Harlan Quenzer with SPN & As-
sociates recapped for the council
the upcoming bond election and
street projects of Wood and Walden
Avenues and Pine Street and Wray
Avenue. A bond election will be
held in conjunction with the pri-
mary election, Tuesday, June 5.
The election is not to raise taxes,
but to raise the legal limit of debt
that the city can go into.
I want to stress that, said
Quenzer. It doesnt mean youre
going to spend it. Youve got a lot of
things going on in this community.
You just have to plan it all out.
Matt asked, So we can assure
people that their taxes should not
go up just because of this bond
issue? Vetter said, If the bond
election passes, it doesnt increase
taxing, just the debt ceiling we can
go into. Finance Officer Monna
Van Lint warned that there still
might be something unforeseen or
catastrophic, such as when the
swimming pool needed replacing.
The council approved transfer-
ring $7,500 from the contingency

cide, vehicular battery and driving
under the influence in connection
with a two-vehicle crash that killed
a Pierre woman.
Walt Taton, 63, turned himself
in at the Haakon County sheriffs

mally charged. Taton had been hos-
pitalized after the crash, which
happened on Saturday, April 28, on
South Dakota Highway 34 about
five miles west of Hayes.
Taton was the driver of a 2004
Ford F350 pickup that collided
head-on with a 2001 Dodge Cara-
van. A passenger in the Caravan,
Heather Unser, 28, Pierre, died in
the crash. The driver of the Cara-
van, Sadie Clark, 21, Yankton, re-
ceived serious but non-life
threatening injuries.

Reed Anfinson,
National Newspaper
Association President
The National Newspaper Associ-
ation just celebrated the passage of
S-1789, the 21st Century Postal
Service Act, which takes a giant
step toward preserving mail deliv-
ery for all who need it.
But the Washington spin ma-
chine is now running double time
to discredit the bill and to provide
political cover for those who voted
against it. Although many good
and thoughtful senators have ex-
pressed widely varying views on
what ails the United States Postal
Service, as well as what can fix it,
there is an enormous amount of
misconception swirling around.
One truly inaccurate belief is
that this bill would cost taxpayers
something between $11 and $34
billion. The other is that this bill
leads to a bailout.
Neither of those assertions is
true. There are no taxpayer funds
going into USPS because of this
bill. And, there is no bailout. The
bill gives back money that you, the
postage payer, were over-charged
because of overzealous collections
for USPS employee benefit funds.
Because of the give-back which
barely scratches the surface on the
excess charges the bill creates the
appearance of an addition to the
federal deficit. But that is only be-
cause USPS dollars have been used
to plug other holes in federal
spending.
Community newspapers need a
viable postal service. While no leg-
islation is ever perfect, NNA be-
lieves S-1789 sets the right
direction at the right time.

fund to the general fund to pay
election expenses and code enforce-
ment services. The council also
held the first reading of an ordi-
nance to give supplemental appro-
priations to finance the rubble site
maintenance and improvements.
The citys gross salaries for April
totaled $21,327.44. The citys per-
centages of insurance, retirement
and withholding added another
$7,466.65. The total for all other
bills came to $79,022.28, which in-
cludes over $13,885 for 2,500 gal-
lons of fuel.
The council approved the second
reading of an ordinance that will
establish a wastewater surcharge.
Police Chief Kit Graham will
hire Brandon Boyd as an addi-
tional police officer for Friday, June
15, during Scotty Philip Days.
The council denied a request
from the Catholic church to pay for
the city to chip seal the churchs
parking lot. Vetter said, Im afraid
if we start doing this, we may have
to honor some kind of warranty.
He was also concerned about set-
ting a precedent; the city does not
want to get into the asphalting
business.
The street light pole on W.
Cherry Street and Park Avenue
has been removed because one is
no longer needed there.
The city swimming pool opening
date is June 1. Lifeguard certifica-
tion training will be May 29-31.
The city council will meet as an
election canvassing board, Thurs-
day, June 7, at 4:00 p.m. Their next
regular meeting will be Monday,
June 4, at 7:00 p.m. in the Haakon
County Courthouse community
room.
live there if adequate housing was
provided. The board agreed to pur-
sue the purchase of a trailer.
Glenn Parsons, the countys
agent with Wellmark Blue
Cross/Blue Shield discussed gap in-
surance with the commission. The
company he would use is Secure
Advantage from Avesis. He noted
that the county would save approx-
imately $15,000 each year with
this additional insurance plan. He
recommended that they set a
$3,000 deductible limit instead of
the $5,000 proposed by Roger
Risty. Parsons said, They could
wind up shouldering the full out of
pocket, expenses with the high de-
ductible. Parsons is to meet with
the employees and explain the pro-
gram and get their feedback before
the county proceeds.
The board tabled Mike Moses re-
quest for a raffle. Moses would like
to raffle a rifle to raise funds to
purchase updated equipment for
the Gem Theatre. OConnell stated
she had received concerns from res-
idents regarding a business raising
funds for themselves. The board
decided they would like to have
Moses explain the reasons more
throughly at the next meeting.
The board went in to executive
session to conduct sheriff deputy
interviews for just over an hour.
Following the session the board ap-
proved a motion to offer the posi-
tion without releasing the name
until the party accepts the position.
The board decided to not pursue
enacting speed limits on county
roads. All commissioners had re-
ceived negative feedback regarding
the matter.
Neville said that all three cul-
verts discussed at previous meet-
ings had been installed. His de-
partment is hauling gravel to a
couple of the areas.
The board approved meeting
minutes from April 3 regular meet-
ing, April 10 board of equalization
meeting, and April 10 special meet-
ing. They approved the past
months warrants, the 2012
Women, Infants and Childrens
contract and a raffle request from
Sophie Foley for Relay for Life,
Transfers were approved in the
amount of $173,000 in to the
county highway department fund
and $10,000 into the 911 fund.
The commission reviewed the
sheriffs, veteran service officers
and auditor/treasurer reports.
The boards next regular meeting
will be Thursday, June 7, a delay of
two days so they could also canvass
ballots.

Without Christ you are blind
and lost (II Cor. 4:3,4), but the
good news is, God loves you
and Christ died to pay for your
sins (I Cor. 15:3,4). The only
question is, do you believe He
died to pay for your sins, or are
you still trying to pay for them in
your own way, by doing good
works? God says, to him that
worketh not, but believeth on
Him that justifieth the ungodly,
his faith is counted for right-
eousness (Rom. 4:5). Why not
believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be
saved(Acts 16:31).

Stella Ptak___________________________________
Stella Ptak, age 97, of Pierre,
S.D., formerly of Philip, died Tues-
day morning, May 8, 2012, at the
Maryhouse Nursing Home in
Pierre.
Stella Ann Cihak was born April
24, 1915, on the family farm home
in rural Dante, the daughter of

in Wagner and attended cosmetol-
ogy school in Des Moines, Iowa.
During WWII, she worked in an
ammunition factory in Ankeny,
Iowa, where her job was the sec-
ond draw for tracer bullets for air-

Her high school sweetheart re-
turned from service in WWII in
1945, and they were married a
month later in the Dante Catholic

baptized and confirmed in. When
they were first married, Ed ran

three children.
In 1962, after Ed finished his
college degree, the family moved to
Philip where Ed took a teaching
job. Stella began working as a
nurses aide at the Philip hospital,
a job she continued into her 80s.
When Ed retired, they started
going south for the winters and
spent the cold months as snowbirds
in Mission, Texas. They would re-
turn in the summers where Ed
would work for the Philip Ambu-
lance Service and Stella as a
nurses aide at the hospital.
Ed passed away on May 20,
2008, and Stella moved into Mary-
house Nursing Home where she
has been lovingly cared for since
then.
She loved her family and her
church, attending daily mass. She
also enjoyed bingo, Duke Univer-
sity mens basketball, and talking
about old times, growing up on
the Choteau Creek in Charles Mix
County.
Stella was a lifetime member of
the Catholic Daughters of America
and VFW Auxiliary.
Thankful for having shared her
life are her three children, daugh-
ter Barb Joy and her husband,
Larry, of Pierre; two sons, Tim
Ptak and his wife, Trudy, of Minot,
N.D., and John Ptak and his fi-
ance, Karolea, of Central City;
grandchildren, TJ Ptak and family
of Kalamazoo, Mich., Tonia Kirk
and her family of Minot, N.D.,
Jaremy Joy of Minneapolis, Minn.,
and Josh Joy and family of Fargo,
N.D.; and a host of other relatives
and friends.
She was preceded in death by
her husband of 63 years, Ed; three
sisters, Rose Novak, Clara Cihak,
and Ann Sykora; and two brothers,
Jim and Bob.
A prayer service will be held
7:00 p.m. CDT, on Thursday, May
10, at the Maryhouse Chapel in
Pierre.
Mass of Christian burial will be
held 10:00 a.m. MDT on Friday,
May 11, at the Sacred Heart
Catholic Church in Philip.
Interment will be held 3:00 p.m.
MDT Friday at the Black Hills Na-
tional Cemetery near Sturgis.
A memorial is established to the
Hans P. Peterson Memorial Hospi-
tal.
Arrangements are with the

ThankYou
Thank you hardly seems enough for all of the many acts of
kindness shown to us this last year during Michaels courageous
battle with cancer, and especially during his final days in the hospital.
We were very blessed with family and friends stopping by to visit,
bringing food, flowers, cards and gifts.
A special thank you to Jack, Gayle and D.J. Rush of Rush Funeral
Home for the compassion and professionalism shown to us during
this difficult time, Father Kevin Achbach for the visits at the hospital
and for the words of encouragement at Michaels prayer service and
funeral service. Dr. Klopper and the nurses who cared for Michael
during his final days. Lacey Puhlman for all of the food that she
prepared and brought to us at the hospital so that family could
remain with Michael, the St. William Catholic Church Altar Society
and Sacred Heart Catholic Church Altar Society for the wonderful
food that was served after the services, and to the countless friends
and co-workers who shoed their support for Michael and our family.
Words cannot express the outpouring of thoughtfulness shown
to Michael and our family throughout his illness.
We are forever grateful.

South Dakota is known to have
produced some of the nations
most important citizens. And one
such person is Philip High School
graduate Ward Zimmerman.
Ward was born August 8, 1927,
on the Cheyenne Reservation near
Dupree, S.D., to Ward H. and Net-
tie Naomi (Zierlein) Zimmerman.
He was home-taught, learning to
read by age four. The family
moved into Dupree in 1936 where
he attended public elementary
school. Later, he graduated from
Philip High School class of 1945.
His father, Ward H. Zimmerman,
in the conservation service of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture,
had an office
in the Haakon
County Court-
house in
Philip.
Young Zim-
merman en-
listed as an
A v i a t i o n
Cadet, USNR,
right out of
high school,
later commis-
sioned a mid-
shipman while
attending pre-
flight school.
He completed
basic training
at Naval Air
Station in Cor-
pus Christie,
Texas.
He resigned
his commis-
sion and was
honorably dis-
charged July
11, 1947.
He met his
wife at a fudge
party October
21, 1946. Her
best friend,
Hazel Zim-
merman, said
she had someone she wanted to in-
troduce her to. Elynor Noble, a
member of a prominent Midland,
S.D., family, was somewhat shy
but she agreed to go to the fudge
party. Elynor was told she was to
meet a Naval officer home on
leave. Elynor is said to have
fallen in love with the tall, hand-
some officer and they married
June 17, 1948.
Do they still have fudge parties
in Philip?
After his military discharge,
Ward was enrolled at S.D. School
of Mines & Technology in Rapid
City. He earned a degree in me-
chanical engineering.
After a short stint as an agricul-
tural engineer with the U.S. Soil
Conservation Service, Ward ac-
cepted an offer of employment
with the Boeing company, moving
his wife, Elynor, and three chil-
dren to Seattle, Wash., in 1954.
Ward said his wife, Elynor, re-
ceived a Ph.T. degree (Pushed
Hubby Through). The couple were
very fond of children theirs and
as licensed foster parents they
raised 26 others from infants to
teenagers.
Every day, millions of people fly
in Boeing aircraft all over the
world. Working in research and
development, Ward traveled a lot.
He designed many improvements
in the planes Boeing manufac-
tured in Seattle and other plants.
Many of these plants, military and
civilian, fly with a device devel-
oped by Ward called Electrical
Propulsion Control. Many pilots of
big planes like the 747s and 757s
regard this control system with
wonder and respect.
Zimmerman retired from Boe-
ing after serving 31 years, as SR
Principal Engineer, but continues
to encourage others by his exam-
ple.
He is a modest man of devout
faith who doesnt blow his own
whistle, but is much admired in
his field. He has spent most of his
life helping others. He continues
to travel and even in his mid-80s
is always on the go. He doesnt
walk, but runs!
After he returns from Brazil, he
plans a South Dakota trip to visit
the graves of his parents in Philip.
And on July 4th plans to attend a
barbecue at the home of Larry
Noble in Rapid City. Larry works
for the city but is native to the
Midland area.
Wards wife, Elynor (Noble),
whom he calls my sweetheart,
died January 25, 2012.
He has visited South Dakota
about every year since a career
took him other places,and wants it
known, I never forgot my roots.
Never forgot his roots

Greetings from sunny, breezy
northeast Haakon County. It looks
to be another beautiful day here in
God's country! The recent rains
and sunshine have jump-started
the grass and have gotten the
spring grains off to a good start.
Now we need to hope the timely
rains continue to keep things grow-
ing! Spring is such a wonderful sea-
son baby calves, baby kittens,
crops and pastures growing, lots of
"green" after the long winter
months it is rejuvenating! Each
day holds so much promise!
While we enjoyed nice, soaking
rains last week, our daughter and
son-in-law who live in Salem, got
drenched! They had rain and hail
several times last week, and there
was quite a bit of damage to build-
ings, vehicles, fences and fields in
that part of the state. Jen and Ross
were fortunate to escape most of
the damage, thank goodness.
Evidently our neighbors were
outside enjoying spring at their
houses yesterday, too, because
there were several folks I wasn't
able to reach by phone. I know I
spent a fair amount of time outside
Monday, even though the wind was
a little strong. Our daughter,
Chelsea, was home visiting, so she
helped me accomplish several of
the two-person tasks that have
been piling up. It is great to have
help! Now on to the news.
First of all, happy 85th birthday
to our neighbor and local weather
reporter, Marge Briggs! She is an
amazing woman! One of the many
things that impress me about
Marge is how she continues to be a
student continually reading and
researching issues that interest
her. She remains sharp as a tack
and is very interesting to visit
with! When I talked with her yes-
terday, she mentioned that she
thinks her knee joints could use a
little lubricating. I expect after all
the physical work she has done in
her life, they are getting a little
worn out.
I also want to wish a happy
birthday to our friend and former
neighbor, Aldene Towne, who is
celebrating her 90th birthday this
week. Aldene now lives in a nurs-
ing home in Mesa, Ariz.
Nels and Dorothy Paulson were
in Pierre last Wednesday for four-
wheeler repairs. They were in
Pierre again Friday for teeth repair
work. Also on Friday, they got
their trusty "mule" stuck while
checking cattle, but they are grate-
ful for the mud anyway. Sunday,
Nels and Dorothy went to Rapid
City with their friends, Dale and
Myrna Hartmann, Ft. Pierre. The
couples were getting deck building
materials sounds like work!
Dorothy also said that Nels planted
some asparagus this week, because
their existing patch seemed to be
going backwards.
Lee and Mary Briggs are build-
ing a corral at their place, and their
son-in-law, Adam Joens, Spearfish,
has been here helping with the
project. Lee Briggs was among
those helping with branding at
Hudson's Saturday.
Billy and Arlyne Markwed had a
quieter week this week. Arlyne
said the bull sale in Philip Tuesday
was a big sale lots of buyers and
sellers. The Markweds attended
church Sunday.
Duane and Lola Roseth were in
Eagle Butte last Wednesday at-
tending their niece, Larissa's, pin-
ning ceremony, as Larissa
graduated from the nursing pro-
gram there. Congratulations to
her! Larissa is the daughter of
Larry and Linda Smith. Thor,
Jackie and little Royce Roseth,
Philip, were dinner guests at
Duane and Lola's Sunday, so
Grandma Lola got in some snuggle
time with their grandson. Sunday
evening, Duane Roseth joined a
group at a bed and breakfast,
where sister-in-law Linda Smith
was hosting a dinner. The group
consists of several couples from the
Kadoka and Philip communities
who meet about once a month to
share a meal. Lola wasn't able to
participate in the meal as she was
headed to Rapid City Sunday
evening and catching a flight to
Las Vegas on Monday. Lola is join-
ing her daughter, Kayce, who is in
Las Vegas attending a conference.
Dick and Gene Hudson were in
Philip Thursday to attend awards
ceremonies for their grandsons,
Wyatt and Avery Johnson, who at-
tend school there. Saturday was
branding day, so there were several
friends and neighbors on hand.
Early morning rains Saturday de-
layed the branding a bit, but they
got the job accomplished. The
branding crew was at Gene's house
for both lunch and supper, and
Gene said that was a good thing
they ate up all the leftovers! (Gene
said Dick would appreciate having
the leftovers gone.) When I tried to
call Gene on Monday, she was out-
side doing a lot of mowing around
the place. With the cool wind, she
said she started off the day with
one coat, then added another coat,
and was back to just one coat by
the end of the day. Just goes to
show that you need to be flexible
this time of year!
Jon, Connie and Noah Johnson
were in Philip Thursday to attend
awards ceremonies at the school.
The high school awards were held
in the afternoon, and the FFA
awards were held in the evening.
Jon and Connie's sons, Wyatt and
Avery, were honored at the cere-
monies. Wyatt is the outgoing pres-
ident of the local FFA, and Avery
will be one of the officers next year.
Friday, Jon and Connie's friend,
Dave Bauer, arrived from Min-
nesota to be on hand to help with
branding. Wyatt and Avery John-
son are members of the Philip High
School golf team, and they were
golfing at Hart Ranch Monday. Jon
Johnson attended the golf meet to
cheer his sons on. (Although I
guess you probably don't do much
cheering at a golf meet!)
Bill and Polly Bruce were in Ab-
erdeen Friday to attend the wed-
ding of their grandson, Briston
Bruce, and his bride, Lilly Johnson.
Briston is the son of Jim Bruce.
After the wedding and reception,
Bill and Polly went to their daugh-
ter Linda's home near Ashton and
spent the night. They came back to
the ranch Saturday. Several people
were at the ranch Saturday to help
brand, but the wet weather can-
celled the activities. David and
Andy Bruce, Talon Saucerman,
and Ted Schofield and family all
showed up to help, but since the
branding got postponed, the group
just enjoyed visiting. Bill and Polly
attended church in Midland Sun-
day, followed by lunch at a local
cafe. Polly enjoyed reading a book
titled "Challenges and Love," writ-
ten by her cousin, John Nemec.
Clint and Laura Alleman got
most of their garden planted this
past week, all but the bedding
plants. Thursday, Grandma Car-
men watch Alivya while Laura was
in Hayes to help her parents. Sat-
urday, Clint, Laura and Alivya
took advantage of the rainy day
and went to Philip to spend some
time with Grandpa Roy Roseth.
Frank and Shirley Halligan at-
tended the Night on the Town
event in Ft. Pierre Saturday, and
Sunday they hosted Frank's father,
Ken, to lunch.
Max and Joyce Jones picked up
grandchildren Luke and Mattie
Jones after school Thursday and
headed to Onida to attend the
school's spring concert there. Joyce
said it was a lively, entertaining
program so much so, that grand-
son Luke was doing a little "chair
dancing!" Saturday, Max and Joyce
traveled to Platte to attend an
Eastern Star meeting. Joyce helped
with the program, and several folks
received 50-year pins. They spent
the night in Platte and had a
leisurely breakfast with friends be-
fore heading back west. Max and
Joyce stopped in Pierre to attend
grandchildren Luke and Mattie's
piano recital before returning to
the ranch.
It was a big weekend for the
Kevin and Mary Neuhauser family.
Their daughter, Sarah, graduated
from pharmacy school in Brook-
ings, and Mary said it was quite a
thrill to hear their daughter re-
ferred to as Dr. Sarah Neuhauser.
Kevin and Mary traveled to Brook-
ings Friday and returned home
Sunday. Nick and Brianna were
also on hand for their sister Sarah's
graduation. Lynn and Nina
(Neuhauser) Nachtigall, Cheyenne,
Wyo., also traveled to Brookings for
the graduation ceremonies. Con-
gratulations to Sarah! She will be
moving to Spearfish later this
month to begin work there.
Ruth Neuhauser had visits from
the Kevin Neuhauser family this
weekend as well as from Lynn and
Nina Nachtigall. I didn't get to talk
to Aunt Ruth, but I'm sure she is
very proud of granddaughter
Sarah's accomplishment!
Nancy Neuhauser and her son,
Brett Stirling, met with the Stan-
ley County Commission last week
to get permission to hold the Stir-
ling family memorial ranch rodeo
at the fairgrounds in Ft. Pierre.
The event is scheduled for Septem-
ber 22. Thursday, Raymond and
Nancy attended the potluck lunch
at the senior citizens center in
Pierre. Raymond's son, Clayton
Neuhauser, and his friend, Mary
Thomas, visited Raymond and
Nancy over the weekend. Clayton
and Mary live in Washington state,
and they are headed to North
Dakota to work.
Following is the weather data for
April, 2012: The high temperature
was 92 on the 1st, and we had two
days of 90 or above, four days of
80 or above, and eight days of 70
or above. We also had two days of
50 or below. The lowest maximum
temperature for the month was 47
on both the 15th and the 27th.
The low temperature for the
month was 21 on the 9th, and we
had eight times of 30 or below.
The average high was 70 , and
the average low was 36, giving us
an average temperature of 53 for
the month.
Precipitation for the month was
1.95. Normal precipitation is
1.72, leaving us .23 above normal
for the month.
Precipitation to date for 2012 is
2.79. Normal precipitation is
3.66, leaving us .87 below normal
for the year.
***
The pace continues to pick up
here at the ranch as we work to get
the crops planted, calves branded,
and other assorted projects done. I
think most farmers and ranchers
are in the same boat! Our friend,
Bob Spears, came to the ranch
Tuesday and brought along his
trusty backhoe. He dug a ditch for
electrical wires for a new grain bin,
and he also helped install a spring-
fed water tank. He is a wizard with
that machine! Our son, Scott, and
grandson, Austin, came to the
ranch Wednesday. Scott did some
wiring while Austin and I spent
quality time together. It is so much
fun to see the world through a
child's eyes! He also helped his
Grandpa Randy do some farming. I
went to Philip Wednesday evening
to attend a meeting, and traveled
on to Kadoka to spend the night
with my mother, Letoy Brown.
Mom and I spent Thursday morn-
ing visiting friends and relatives,
and I returned to the ranch Thurs-
day afternoon. Scott and Austin
went back to their home in
Spearfish Thursday. Friday, Randy
and Bob Spears made a quick trip
to Rapid City for repairs, and
Randy dropped Bob off at his home
in Kadoka on the way back. Our
daughter, Chelsea, came to visit
Sunday and returned to her home
in Spearfish Tuesday.
This week I am grateful for
helpers. Thank goodness for our
friends and relatives who come to
help us during the busy seasons!
Randy and I both work hard, and
we have a very capable employee in
Chauncey Jorgensen, but there are
times when the work just requires
more hands! And as those of us in
production agriculture know, it is
getting more and more difficult to
find knowledgeable, experienced
help. We are proud, as farmers and
ranchers, to produce food and fiber
for the world, but it would be a lot
more difficult without the help of
others!
I hope you all go out and make it
a special week! Stay safe and keep
praying for rain the prayers ap-
pear to be working!

Frontier cabin project
Corbin Kramer and Kaitlyn Fos-
heim have completed a multi-week
project of reconstructing a frontier,
colonial American log cabin.
Referencing the book Frontier
Living, the two fifth grade stu-
dents earned extra credit with
their detailed model.
The hardest part of all was put-
ting on the shingles, then the rock
for the chimney, said Fosheim.
The roof even has a row of shingles
on one side jutting over the pinna-
cle to reduce rain leakage.
The crawlspace under the roof is
filled with straw for insulation.
Children would climb up a peg lad-
der poking from the cabins interior
wall to a hatch door so they could
sleep in the only other room of the
cabin. The door has a working
latchstring, which was pulled in at
night so no one outside could open
the door.
The fireplace is a rock base, with
a cabin-type structure of sticks cov-
ered with mud for the chimney.
Shutters were used to keep out the
elements and any attackers. The
project cabin even has a spinning
wheel. Pioneers used a smaller
wheel to spin flax into linen and a
larger wheel to spin wool into cloth.
In real life, three days were
needed to erect the cabin, with the
help of many neighbors. One day
was for cutting trees and notching
logs, the second was for railing up
the walls, and the third was to
complete the roof. Anything else,
such as minimal furniture, was
built later.
Nursing homes across South
Dakota will be celebrating Na-
tional Nursing Home Week begin-
ning Mothers Day, May 13, and
continuing through May 19, with
the theme, Celebrating the Jour-

tacts between residents, youth,
community members and families
and staff.
The South Dakota Health Care
Association, along with American
Health Care Association, encour-
age citizens of South Dakota to cel-
ebrate nursing facilities accomp-
lishments and efforts to continue to
improve the quality of life for our
states seniors. Providing quality
care is always mission number one
and South Dakota, through our
professions own campaign, Qual-
ity Initiative, care is improving
and our residents are benefiting.
Mark B. Deak, SDHCA executive
director, stated, National Nursing
Home Week gives us an opportu-
nity, as a community, to celebrate
our focus on quality with residents,
staff, families and volunteers. This
is a perfect time to visit your local
nursing facility and participate in
all the activities they have
planned!

National Nursing Home Week
Keep in mind the date of
Wednesday, May 16. All commu-

Gayla if you have questions.

weekend. They try to get home
about every other weekend. Bob was
at Kieth Smiths Wednesday helping
work cattle. Bob spent time at the
nursing home this week visiting old
neighbors and friends. He tries to
get there every week to see people.
Mary Eide visited Gladys Smith
at the nursing home Thursday.
Gladys was sitting out in the garden
which is kept so nice for the resi-
dents to enjoy. It was a nice day so
we both enjoyed being out there. If
you go to visit Gladys and she is not
in her room, you will probably find
her out in the garden. I also enjoyed
a brief visit with Dorothy Urban.
She had company, her granddaugh-
ter, Vicki Eide, and her daughter,
Rita Ramsey.
I had stopped prior to Thursday to
visit Bonnie Buls. Bonnie was enjoy-
ing the flowers she had received
from Jack and Gayle Rush, and also
a bouquet from Doris Daniels and
Vickie Neiderworder. I stopped
again last Thursday and she was
going home later that day. I will call
sometime later to see how she is
doing. Bonnie grew up in our neigh-
borhood, attended high school at
Canton, near Sioux Falls, and also
graduated from a business school.
She has been living alone for many
years. She spent many years going
every day to visit her mom in the
nursing home. Bonnie enjoyed her
68th birthday while she was in the
hospital.
This Sunday, Zane and Beth Jef-
fries and C.J. and Mandie and kids
were enjoying dinner and the day at
Gary and Julie Nixons. Last week
on Wednesday, Julie left to attend a
convention in Las Vegas. She re-
turned home Sunday. Gary picked
her up at the airport in Rapid City
and then they stopped in New Un-
derwood to visit with their daugh-
ter, Kelly, and her girls, Allie and
Abby, who were returning from a 4-
H shooting sports event in Pierre.
We have had some good rains so
far, the crops look good. We did get
one hail storm that left drifts on the
north and west sides of the building,
but it was a soft and slushy hail and
didnt do any damage. It looked just
like a blizzard while it was coming
down. The 50 mph wind with some
60 mph gusts that came with it was
the worst part.
So many people have been caught
away from home in hail storms re-
cently and Rapid City has had their
share of these.
All the neighbors are busy getting
cattle work done, giving needed
shots and branding so they can turn
them out to pasture for the summer.
Everyone does things a little differ-
ent, some have crews come in, oth-
ers do it themselves by doing a few
everyday. No matter how they do it,
it takes a lot of hard work and long
days, but its the name of the game.
Vicki has me come up and eat
with them and all I do is maybe
wash dishes for my dinner. Which is
cheap considering the meal re-
ceived. I do go out and see how the
cattle look before they are off to pas-
ture.

Proceedings of Haakon
County Commissioners
REGULAR MEETING
MAY 1, 2012
The regular meeting of the Haakon
County Commissioners was held on
Tuesday, May 1, 2012, at 1:05 p.m.
Those present at the meeting were Chair-
man Edward Briggs, Vice Chairman
Steve Clements, Members Rita O'Con-
nell, Nicholas Konst and Gary Snook. Au-
ditor Pat Freeman, Deputy Auditor Carla
Smith, Treasurer Patti Rhodes, Highway
Superintendent Kenneth Neville, Custo-
dian Nancy Neville, Haakon County Sher-
iff Fred Koester, Extension Admin.
Secretary Sheryl Hansen, Cord Terkild-
sen and Pioneer Review Representative
Nancy Haigh were also present.
The April 3, 2012, Regular Meeting Min-
utes, the April 10, 2012, Director of Equal-
ization Minutes and the April 10, 2012,
Special Session Minutes were reviewed.
Vice Chairman Stephen Clements noted
that in the April 3, 2012, Regular Minutes
on page 4, he was referred to as "Vice
President Clements. This will be
amended to read "Vice Chairman. Nick
Konst made a motion to approve all three
sets of minutes. Snook seconded the mo-
tion, with all in agreement to approve.
At 1:30 p.m., Sheriff Fred Koester gave
his monthly Sheriff's report. At 1:37 p.m.,
a motion was made, seconded with all in
agreement to go into Executive Session
for interviews for Deputy Sheriff. At 2:47
p.m., the Executive Session ended on
personnel with the job being offered to an
applicant but no names released until the
offer has been accepted.
Blue Cross Blue Shield Representative
Glenn Parsons appeared before the com-
mission with more detailed information on
GAP insurance. Secure Advantage Vista
Plan was discussed and an employee
meeting would be scheduled to go over
individual scenarios with employees.
There would still be a savings to the
county and employee.
No action was taken yet on the Gap in-
surance.
Cord Terkildsen met with the commission
to get permission to put in a "Disc Golf
course or "Frisbee Golf out at Lake Wag-
goner. The initial cost would run about
$3,500 and at no expense to the county.
He felt it would provide a lot of entertain-
ment for the area and had worked out
well for other communities. A photo of the
area was provided to the commission with
areas distinguished where the disc "bas-
kets would be placed. He asked if it
might be possible for the county to mow
the area once a month or so since it was
so close to the county shop. The matter
of county liability was questioned. Com-
missioner Rita O'Connell stated she
would check with the county's insurance
company first before approval could be
given to the project. t was felt that it
would be good for the community and
provide more entertainment for them. A
decision was not made at this time.
Highway Superintendent Kenny Neville
gave his monthly report. The issue of the
speed limits signs on county roads was
reviewed again. The general consensus
from the opinions received from the public
to Superintendent Neville and commis-
sioners was that "no speed signs were
wanted on county roads. Neville esti-
mated that 110 signs and 50 posts would
be required for an estimated $3,000. The
issue was tabled.
Prior to 2007, the county received an an-
nual federal fund sub-allocation of Fed-
eral Surface Transportation Program
(STP) funds from the State for mainte-
nance and construction of federal aid
highways under jurisdiction and control of
the county. The federal fund sub-alloca-
tion is referred to as "STP Funds. This
program was suspended in 2007 and not
offered again until 2011. The years of
2008, 2009 and 2010, the county did not
receive these federal funds to help main-
tain our roads and bridge infrastructure.
These dollars just were not there for
those three years.
n 2011, Congress approved the Funding
Exchange Program where once again,
these funds would be made available to
the counties. The agreement for 2011
was signed for a dollar amount of
$206,528.13 (SWAP Money). n 2011, the
county spent $48,465.00 on road related
work. This was the Bill Parsons slide
area. There is still $158,063.13 left from
the 2011 Fund Exchange money received
to use in 2012 on highway projects.
This same program was offered again for
2012 for the same amount as 2011 for
road and bridge projects. So, at this point,
there is $158,063.13 left from 2011 plus
$206,528.23 for 2012, which equals
$364,591.26 total dollars left for road and
bridge projects in 2012. None of these
dollars are from county assessed taxes.
n February of 2012, another $44,426.92
was spent partially on the Bill Parsons
Slide area and purchased culverts and in
April another $14,698.56 spent on new
culverts for the county.
Petoske Construction Co. has completed
replacing culverts in three locations: cul-
vert replaced on Lone Tree Creek, taking
out bridge by Gary Nixon's and replacing
it with 10 foot culvert and replacing culvert
by the old Rausch place for a total of
$16,279.20. This was all paid for by the
DOT/CTY Fund Exchange Agreement,
referred to as "SWAP Money. Then T.F.
Luke & Sons, nc. crushed 10,000 tons of
gravel at the Kennedy pit for $30,000.00
and Bob Bak Construction crushed
10,000 tons of gravel at the Lee Briggs pit
for $44,600.00, which was also paid for
out of SWAP money. So in the month of
April, $90,879.20 has been spent on
county roads and none of it came by way
of assessed taxes. Superintendent
Neville stated that they possibly could get
more gravel crushing done from each pit
and asked permission to do so. Commis-
sioner Rita O'Connell made the motion to
go ahead with the extra gravel crushing
and Commissioner Stephen Clements
seconded, with all in agreement.
We are now left with $214,586.58 remain-
ing in a restricted fund to be used for road
and bridge projects and road mainte-
nance. Once again, none of these dollars
are from assessed taxes. The dollars
spent on the completed projects were
NOT figured into the 2012 budget. There
was no crushing gravel budgeted for,
much less, the much larger projects, such
as the Bill Parsons slide area. The high-
way department was able to do these
projects because of the programs that the
federal and state opened up for them
again. You can see how very beneficial
these programs are for our county.
There was detailed discussion on the
shop/housing area in the Deep Creek
area in the NE part of the county. There
needs to be a county worker who lives in
that part of the county to keep the roads
maintained. The trailer house there is not
fit to live in.
Commissioner Nick Konst provided an
estimate of what it would cost to provide
the shop/house area with usable water
from West River Lyman Jones. The esti-
mate was $8,359.20. A 16' by 80' used
trailer could be purchased by the county
for $15,000.00 and is in that area and
could be moved easily. Cody Briggs had
offered to take care of the existing trailer
removal and cleanup for $1,500 to
$2,000. t was also mentioned that the
Faith School had trailers that were being
auctioned off in June and that could be
looked into. One of the highway workers
is willing to live up in that area. This would
provide someone easily accessible to a
blade in the shop to care for that area. No
action was taken.
Superintendent Neville also stated he had
an interview set up for Thursday for an-
other highway worker. There have been
very few applications submitted to the
highway department.
There was discussion during the Audi-
tor/Treasurer's Report when on the 2011
budget, there was $327,182.00 budgeted
to transfer into the (201) CASH Highway
from the (101) CASH General. During the
2011 year, the SWAP Funds were re-
ceived and also the midyear increase in
motor vehicle money. No cash transfer
was ever motioned which left a negative
balance of approximately $172,000.00 at
the end of the year. Commissioner Nick
Konst made a motion to make a CASH
transfer $173,000 from (101) CASH Gen-
eral to (201) CASH Highway. The motion
was seconded by Commissioner Stephen
Clements, with all in agreement to cover
the shortage from last year.
The 9-1-1 CASH Fund was also needing
a cash transfer. $26,000.00 had been
budgeted for transfer in 2012. Since the
surcharge would go from $.75 to $1.25 in
July of 2012, only $10,000.00 was trans-
ferred because our contract with Winner,
SD states, at this time, we pay them
$1.12 per line. We will wait to see what
will happen with our contract. A motion
was made by Commissioner Gary Snook
to transfer $10,000.00 CASH from the
(101) General into the (9-1-1) CASH
Fund. t was seconded by Commissioner
Rita O'Connell, with all in agreement.
The monthly Veteran's Report was review
by the commission.
The 2013 WC Contract was presented.
Commissioner Stephen Clements mo-
tioned to approve the contract. Commis-
sioner Rita O'Connell seconded, with all
in agreement.
Auditor Freeman had been contacted by
the (NAWAPA) North American Water
and Power Alliance about presenting a
resolution to the commission for approval
with the intent of putting pressure on Con-
gress to implement what was referred to
as "The Tennessee Valley Authority of the
21st Century. Auditor Freeman had re-
ceived numerous e-mails stating no other
commission had approved the resolution
and after reviewing it, no action was
taken.
Extension Secretary Sheryl Hansen re-
ported to the commission that her printer
had broken down. She requested a new
one for an amount of $149.99 which
could scan, fax, copy and print. A motion
was made, seconded with all in agree-
ment to purchase the machine.
A request was made to the commission
to hold a raffle on a rifle for "Save the
Gem Theatre by Michael Moses. After
some discussion, the decision was tabled
until Michael could be contacted for more
detailed information.
Sophie Foley requested approval for sell-
ing "Relay For Life tickets for an afghan
from June through August 2012. The
drawing would be held at the "Relay for
Life Walkathon. A motion was made,
seconded with all in agreement to ap-
prove the raffle.

AARP South Dakota is holding a
statewide, county-by-county con-
versation about strengthening
health and retirement security
called Youve Earned a Say.
Through Youve Earned a Say,
AARP is trying to take the debate
about Medicare and Social Security
out from behind closed doors in
Washington and making sure
South Dakotans are part of a
broader national conversation to
have a voice in the discussion about
their future.
As part of its tour, AARP South
Dakota will host an free event
Tuesday, May 15, in Kadoka from
1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Jiggers.
Refreshments will be provided.
This community conversation is
open to the public, and individuals
of all ages are encouraged to at-
tend. AARP membership is not re-
quired. Attendees are encouraged
to bring a non-perishable food do-
nation to support local hunger ef-
forts.
Throughout the summer the
You've Earned a Say van will
stop for listening sessions in all 66
counties in South Dakota, with the
final session at the South Dakota
State Fair, August 30. Attendees
may fill out questionnaires about
Medicare and Social Security and
join a discussion about the future
of these programs.
Medicare and Social Security
are the foundation of health and re-
tirement security for so many
South Dakotans, said Sarah Jen-
nings, state director for AARP
South Dakota. Theyve paid into
these programs over a lifetime of
work, theyve earned these bene-
fits, theyre counting on them, and
they should be part of the conver-
sation on how to protect and
strengthen Medicare and Social Se-
curity.
We know from a recent survey
that Medicare and Social Security
are important to people age 50 and
older in South Dakota, said Jen-
nings. AARP believes that any con-
versations about the future of
Medicare and Social Security
should include the people who've
been paying into these programs
over a lifetime of hard work. To do
that, were bringing the conversa-
tion to every county in South
Dakota, giving people an opportu-
nity to speak out and make their
voices heard.
A recent survey of more than
3300 individuals age 50 and older
in Sioux Falls and in rural commu-
nities showed 90 percent of respon-
dents saw ensuring Social Security
continues to provide a guaranteed
base for retirement income as high
or top priority issue for AARP
South Dakota to work on.
Additionally, 85 percent of re-
spondents in rural areas and 81
percent of respondents in Sioux
Falls indicated strengthening
Medicare should be a high or top
priority issue for AARP South
Dakota to work on.
In South Dakota, 137,314 peo-
ple rely on Medicare for their
health coverage, and 153,508 peo-
ple receive Social Security benefits.
The average monthly Social Se-
curity benefit for individuals in
South Dakota is a little more than
$1,000.
18.9 percent of South Dakotans
receiving Social Security rely on
the benefit for 90 percent or more
of their retirement income, while
45.4 percent rely on Social secu-
rity for 50 percent or more of their
retirement income.
These sessions are truly listen-
ing sessions, said Jennings. The
debate over how to protect and
strengthen Medicare and Social
cant be done in secret.

upcoming Youve Earned a Say
events in South Dakota visit

South Dakota video blog from all
66 counties at www.youtube.com/

You've Earned a Say conversa-
tions in South Dakota are part of

lumbia, the Virgin Islands and
Puerto Rico. For more information,

Philips Sayde Slovek has been
recognized as one of the countrys
most outstanding high school sen-
iors by the Coca-Cola Scholars
Foundation. She has been awarded
a $20,000 scholarship for college.
As a member of the 24th class of
Coca-Cola Scholars, Slovek has
demonstrated a commitment to ac-
ademic excellence and civic engage-
ment in school and in the
community.
The Coca-Cola Scholars Founda-
tion, a joint effort of Coca-Cola Bot-
tlers across America and the
Coca-Cola Company, is one of the
largest corporate-sponsored,
achievement-based scholarship
programs of its kind in the United
States. In Philip, the foundation is
supported by the financial commit-
ment of Coca-Cola of Pierre and the
Coca-Cola Company. Including the
2012 class of scholars, the founda-
tion has awarded more than 5,000
students with a total of more than
$47 million in scholarships.
Sayde Slovek is part of a diverse
group of extraordinary high school
seniors who have shown a stead-
fast commitment to educational ex-
cellence, leadership and service to
the school and community, said
Claude Nielsen, chairman of the
board of the Coca-Cola Scholars
Foundation and president and
chief executive officer of Coca-Cola
Bottling United Inc. Company in
Birmingham, Ala. The Coca-Cola
Scholars Foundation is proud to
name Miss Slovek as a 2012 Coca-
Cola National Scholar.
Slovek joined 252 of Americas
most impressive high school stu-
dents for the Coca-Cola Scholars
weekend, held April 12-15 in At-
lanta, Ga., to compete for 52 na-
tional scholarships of $20,000 and
200 regional scholarships of
$10,000. Scholars were part of an
initial applicant pool of nearly
84,000 representing approximately
23,000 high schools.
During the weekend, the 2012
class was recognized at a banquet
held in their honor. Philanthropist
and Academy Award winning actor
Morgan Freeman gave the banquet
keynote address. Scholars also in-
terviewed with a national selection
committee representing education,
business, government and arts
leaders from across the country to
determine their award amount,
participated in seminars, toured
local landmarks and worked in a
community service project painting
recycled syrup drums donated by
the Coca-Cola Company to be used
as rain barrels by the Atlanta com-
munity.
The Coca-Cola Scholars Program
is one of the most-recognized and
respected corporate sponsored
scholarships in America. The pro-
gram was created in 1986 to com-
memorate the 100th anniversary of
Coca-Cola and to establish a legacy
for the education of tomorrows
leaders through college scholar-
ships.
