by Del Bartels Duke Westerberg’s last day ascounty executive director of theHaakon/Jackson County FarmService Agency – United States De-partment of Agriculture will beJanuary 3. He described his future plans byfirst saying that his brother-in-lawonce said, “ ‘There is no flexibilitylike not having a plan.’ I’ve alwaysliked that, and, right now, I’mpretty flexible.” It has been 33 years since West-erberg successfully interviewed forthe position in Philip. Before that,he graduated from Huron HighSchool and spent four years as anaircraft mechanic in the UnitedStates Air Force. He had graduatedfrom South Dakota State Univer-sity in 1983 with a bachelor of sci-ence in economics and in agricul-tural business. Back then, the FSAwas the Agricultural Stabilizationand Conservation Service. Itmerged with the Farmers HomeAdministration in 1995 to becometoday’s FSA. Westerberg went through a sixmonth training program where hevisited offices across South Dakota.“You visited other county FSA of-fices, I guess, to pick the brains ofother FSA officers and their man-agement styles,” said Westerberg.Depending on the time of year, heand his staff assist producers with

Conservation Reserve Programbids, farm program sign up,acreage reporting, non-insurancecrop assistance program, commod-ity loans, emergency conservationprogram, and many other govern-ment programs. “You don’t find any better peopleanywhere, whether it’s workingwith the staff or the ag producers,”said Westerberg. He added, “Theycan get by a lot better without methan I can without them, and that’sobvious.” “It’s been a good run, it reallyhas, ups and downs like any job,but it’s treated me really well,” saidWesterberg. “Kids think I need tokeep working somewhere and Iagree with them.” He will fill muchof his time with what he alreadyenjoys doing – video taping schooland community activities, using hiscomputer to edit the videos for in-dividuals and for the school’s chan-nel 19 broadcasts, and playing golf. “I tell people that I don’t want toquit working, I just want to quitworking for Uncle Sam,” said West-erberg. “I like to harass my wife (Pat),but I imagine my honey-do list isgoing to get pretty long,” said West-erberg. “I think she’s a little anx-ious about it. I told her that herpaycheck is part of my retirementplan – she didn’t think much ofthat.”

by Nancy HaighWrapping up 2012 was not as

easy as the Haakon County Com-mission had hoped as they soughta way to pay overages with notenough money in the contingencyfund.

Support of the poor and mentallyill took a toll on the county’s fundsthroughout the year, as well asmotor grader repairs for the roadand bridge fund.

The county had $48,852 out of$50,000 budgeted for the contin-gency. Overages, which totaled$51,043.24, occurred in the fundsfor election ($544.34), commission-ers ($3,028.66), court appointed at-torney ($5,246.01), courthouse($13,053.87), support of poor($23,311.94), jail ($1,983.15), men-tally ill ($3,247.64), Extension serv-ice ($627.63), road and bridge(18,138.02), and courthouse build-ing ($26,441.84). All but road andbridge and the courthouse buildingfund would be paid from contin-gency funds.

After more than an hour of work-ing the numbers the board opted torescind the December payment al-ready approved under the commis-sioners fund to the South DakotaDepartment of Legislative Audit inthe amount of $10,089. The re-maining overages totaled$48,014.52. The board approved totransfer those fundings for theother accounts.

The board approved the transferof $125,000 in opt out funds to theroad and bridge account whichwould cover the $18,138.02.

The board approved a supple-ment for the courthouse buildingfund in the amount of $26,441.84.This will cause the board to have anegative balance at the beginningfor 2013, which they can be repri-manded for by the Department ofLegislative Audit during the nextaudit. A supplement must be runas a legal advertisement twice be-fore the funds are transferred.

Bruce Hintz from the Depart-ment of Legislative audit reviewedthe recently completed countyaudit. He noted that five of the nineitems noted last year had been im-proved upon. Overall he noted thatit was a good audit with minor is-sues noted.

One item that was wrong was aresolution the county approved inregards to the county putting in ap-proaches and maintenance on pri-vate driveways. He said that theSouth Dakota Codified Law cited inthe resolution was wrong and itwas also going against statestatutes. He suggest the county re-scind the resolution and followstate law. Later in the meeting theboard followed this advice and re-scinded the resolution.

A couple of the areas of concerndealt with problems created by thesoftware the county auditor’s useas well as poor communicationfrom the state regarding the bankfranchise money that is distributedout to schools. He noted that theschool had been overpaid because awrong formula was used. This hap-pened in several counties, Hintzsaid.

Another area of concern was thatsurplus cash calculations were notperformed at the end of March andSeptember with them also beingsubmitted to the Department ofLegislative Audit. Hintz noted thatthese dates reflect the times of typ-ically large influxes of tax dollars.In the past the calculations wereonly done at the end of the year.

The board and Kenny Neville,highway superintendent, discussedwhich blades could possibly be sur-plused. Commissioner Nick Konstbrought up either getting an ex-tended warranty on the 2009blades that keep breaking down ortrading them off. The other bladesinclude two purchased in 2004 andone in 2003. The two 2009 bladeshave averaged nearly three timesas much in expenses while underwarranty compared to the threeolder blades. While they are underwarranty, not all costs such asmileage, are covered.

Neville noted that if a piecebreaks down in one, the secondblade follows shortly on the samelocation. He said Konst’s idea hadmerit and agreed they either tradethem or get the extended warranty.Konst had contacted Alex Kuleszaregarding the extended warrantybut has not received an answer yet.

Lookin’ Around by Syd Iwan

What does it take to be “cool”these days, or “with it?” This tendsto change with the generations soit’s sometimes hard to keep up. Myobservations of young people seemto indicate that guys need to wearloose-fitting pants hung low, outra-geously expensive tennis shoes,and baggy shirts. An occasionalpiercing of an ear or somethingmight help too. Gals are prone tohaving multiple piercings, not onlyof the ears but maybe of an eye-brow, cheek, lip, nose, or eventongue. Neither are the girls intoloose clothing that much. Hairstyle has something to do withthings too, but I can’t quite naildown the details of that. I do some-times notice dye jobs in bright col-ors and that may include severalcolors on one head of hair. It can beattractive or occasionally justhighly noticeable. Personally, I gave up trying to becool years ago. It never matteredmuch to me. I didn’t want to standout as someone really strange, butneither did I have patience enoughto spend much time dealing withmy appearance. If I was covered inthe right places and wearing warmclothes in the winter and cool onesin the summer, that was goodenough. I recall that in high schoolthe boys all wore their shirtsleevesa certain way. This involved thesleeves being unbuttoned andfolded up just so many times. I hadtrouble getting the hang of thatand discontinued the practice be-fore long. Butch haircuts were allthe rage for a while, and I had oneuntil I tired of the butch-wax thatmade them stand up properly.That was nasty stuff and often gotspread to caps and pillows. It waseven hard to get off the hands afterapplication to the hair. I’ve always really liked the looksof some sunglasses, especially theones that are mirror-like. Unfortu-nately, I wear regular glasses fulltime which complicates matters.The sunglasses you clip on are notattractive. If you have prescriptionsunglasses, then you have to carrya spare pair of plain ones aroundfor inside. When I wore contacts fora while, I thought, “Aha, now I canwear nifty sunglasses” and boughtan expensive pair. They proved te-dious and have just ridden aroundin the glove box of the car for years.

Practically speaking, my eyesaren’t bothered much by stronglight so they don’t need shades. Ifthe light is too bright, I squint abit. If it isn’t, I don’t. So much forsunglasses. Snazzy cars have always beenpopular with guys, and I like look-ing at them. I’ve only had one ve-hicle that could be consideredsnazzy, and that was a blue andwhite mustang. I loved that carright up until the time I crashed itinto the back of a pickup thatdidn’t stop at a stop sign. Sincethen, my vehicles by necessityhave been more practical. Frankly,I prefer taller vehicles now whereI don’t feel like my rear is draggingon the ground. This would includemy red ranger pickup that suits mewell. It is somewhat “sporty” butnot the rage amongst the generalpublic. It does have four-wheeldrive which comes in extremelyhandy when you often travel un-paved roads such as the thirteenmiles of those we have getting totown from the ranch. Outward appearances, of course,can not compensate for a markedlack of goods on the inside. You canbe as cool as Tom Cruise or someother movie star and still not bemuch as far as a human being. Infact, those who spend a whole lot oftime trying to look good can some-times be proud, callous, or shallowon the inside and much more con-cerned about having fun than ac-complishing anything of merit. Asa result, my definition of “cool” issomeone who is pleasant, kind andhelpful. If they are also nice to lookat, that’s a plus but not a necessity. In our church, we currently havea number of people who are gettingright up there in years—some evenin their nineties. They all keepthemselves looking fine, butthey’ve long since quit worryingabout being cool. They are, how-ever, very good people and simplyshine as far as I’m concerned.Their concerns tend to be moreabout how they can help otherfolks and be useful instead of whatothers can do for them. This sets agood example for the rest of us. Ihope we can measure up even if wedon’t wear sunglasses or drive asnazzy car. Measuring up would bereally cool.

In with the new ... by Del Bartels

Slow was a kind euphemism for how the old man inched down the

hall of the nursing home. Members of his family were either walking

beside and behind him, already chit-chatting in his room, or still ar-

riving through the entrance and lobby. All were there to show him

(dad – grandpa – great-grandpa) his first great-great-grandchild.

He was greeted by each individual. Some gave hugs, some gave hand-

shakes, some grandly waved over the heads of everyone else. His mem-

ory was not what it used to be, but sometime during the visit he called

each person by their name and related something about them. Some

had childhood nicknames that their own children hadn’t ever heard;

and those stories had to be related to the incredulous kids. Some had

scars, mostly faded now to being almost gone, from embarrassing or

heroic incidents. Those stories, too, were made even more grand by the

old man in their telling.

The morning was interrupted by lunch, but the conversations never

lagged, and the afternoon continued on. The new baby was not forgot-

ten. Nap, feeding, nap, diaper change, nap – all happened. The old

man, though, was having his day. Yes, he was growing weary. Of

course, he was going to shake it off. Tomorrow he would rest. Someone

brought out a photo album, which reminded someone else and they

went to get their album. Some of the younger kids busied themselves

by eating brought-in pizza, or playing personal video games, or dozing,

but one ear was always open for a story or joke that would catch their

attention. One dozing kid flopped his arm at a teasing touch from an

uncle, and plopped his hand into a bowl of shaving cream. Everybody

howled with laughter, and nobody else napped.

Then, the conversation sombered. Those who were not there were re-

membered. A car accident, a military incident, a divorce ... losses were

felt, and had their own stories. Supper was a welcome break.

Someone started the inevitable, and cameras came out of seemingly

everyone’s pocket or purse. After silly photos of a niece laughing hard

enough to spew pop out of her nose, of an aunt glaring at someone over

a too-close-to-home joke, of a nephew caught by a peck on the cheek

under a hand-held mistletoe, of ... then the great-great-grandchild was

placed in the old man’s arms for serious, posed pictures.

He had held so many children and grandchildren. Still, this one

seemed so new. It would grow. Over the years it would be so many

things ... and one day even be similar to the old man now holding it.

His lip first quivered, then grinned, and smiled, and then beamed so

grandly that his eyes moistened up. The tiny tyke wiggled to get more

comfortable, and settled down with its eyes fixed on the old man.

Yes, father time and the new year were together. In the grand

scheme of things, it would be for just a little while, but, they were to-

gether now, just like they always seem to be and always should be.

The National Family Partner-ship has announced the winners ofthe 2012 National Red RibbonPhoto Contest “The Best Me IsDrug Free.” The nation’s oldest andlargest drug prevention campaignreaches more than 80 million peo-ple nationwide every year since1985. This year, families got involvedby entering a contest to promoteawareness in their neighborhoodsand win a drug prevention grantfor their schools. “As schools acrossAmerica celebrated Red RibbonWeek, our contest helped studentstake the message home,” saidPeggy Sapp, NFP’s volunteer pres-ident. “By entering the contest anddecorating their homes together,families carried the message totheir communities.” Students from throughout theUnited States entered the contestby decorating their homes togetherwith their parents – mailboxes,front doors and fences. Parents up-loaded photos to www.RedRibbon.org, then friends and family votedand the entries with the most voteswon. Andi (eight), Ana (11), andEmma (13) Stone from Kadoka,S.D., won a $1,000 drug-preventiongrant for their school and an iPadfor their family. The DEA co-sponsored thisyear’s national Red Ribbon Weekcontest. DEA AdministratorMichele M. Leonhart said, “RedRibbon Week® is also when we

honor DEA Special Agent Enrique‘Kiki’ Camarena, who made the ul-timate sacrifice to keep our com-munities safe.” In 1985, after the murder of Ca-marena, parents, youth and teach-ers in communities across thecountry began wearing red ribbonsas a symbol of their commitment toraise awareness of the destructioncaused by drugs. Sapp said, “We received so manywonderful entries from across theUnited States and an outpouring ofsupport with over 140,000 votes.We are so happy for the winningfamilies who will receive an iPadfor themselves and $1,000 for theirschool.” “The contest helped us talk toour children about drug preven-tion,” said mom, Kristie Stone."Kids in the neighborhood had lotsof questions and we explained whywe were decorating with the themefor Red Ribbon Week.” SaidKadoka Area SuperintendentJamie Hermann: “We appreciateRed Ribbon Week every year be-cause it brings focus to the issuesfacing America’s youth. It gives usan opportunity to address a sensi-tive subject in a time-frame whereeveryone understands that it isokay to talk about it. We are veryexcited for the Stone family and theopportunity this will afford ourschool to address concerns withdrugs that our youth are facing.”

Two South Dakota Highway Pa-trol vehicles were struck Thursdaymorning, December 27, by other ve-hicles as troopers responded to

traffic issues during snowfall thatcreated slippery roadway condi-tions on highways in the SiouxFalls area.

Trooper Dave Knutson was as-sisting on a call for service on In-terstate 29 when another vehiclelost control and struck the back ofhis patrol vehicle. There were noinjuries.

Private Pesticide ApplicatorMeetings Start This Week

Private Pesticide ApplicatorCertification Training meetingsstart on Friday, January 4th attwo locations in South Dakota, andcontinue at a steady pace until lateMarch. At this time, 45 meetingsare planned to be held across thestate, with a few additional meet-ings possibly remaining to bescheduled. The full listing of Private Pesti-cide Applicator Certification meet-ings can be found on the SDSUPesticide Applicator Training web-site: http://sdstate.edu/ps/exten-sion/pat/pat-county-dates.cfm. Ad-ditional information can be foundat http://igrow.org. There are three options to be-come certified or re-certified. 1. At-tend a three-hour recertificationmeeting. 2. Pick up the open-bookhome-study exam and referencematerials at your local ExtensionOffice or Regional Extension Cen-ter or, 3. Take the Private Applica-tor exam on-line at the Depart-ment of Agriculture’s website:http://apps.sd.gov/doa/pwt/. Re-gardless of the method you chooseto certify or re-certify; you mustbring a government-issued, photoID.

Snow and Winter Wheat It is well known that winterwheat has a much better chance ofsurvival if it goes into the winter

with good soil moisture. That wasfar from the case in the fall of2012, when a large percentage ofthe winter wheat in South Dakotawas planted into dry soil. As reported earlier this fall,many areas received smallamounts of moisture via rainand/or snow, which caused some ofthe wheat to sprout, but little ac-tually emerged. That marginalamount of moisture may play amajor role in whether wheat fields;or plants within wheat fields sur-vive the winter. Wheat has beenknown to take on moisture, swell,and even produce a small sprout,then dry out, and “re-germinate”when adequate soil moisture re-turns. There is a point however,where the sprout grows too largeto survive after drying out, andthat point is not well defined. For wheat plants that were stillviable going into the recent coldspell, the snow received by much ofthe state in the past weeks mayallow it to hang on. Even a fewinches of snow can protect the ten-der wheat plants a few inchesbelow the soil surface. The auto-matic weather station at Leola, SDreports that most of the low tem-peratures were below zero over thepast week, and the high tempera-ture for the day hovered near 10degrees F. While this was goingon, the lowest soil temperature atthe 2” depth was 21 degrees F, well

above the 0-5 degrees that prop-erly “hardened off” winter wheatcan withstand. What soil temper-atures these barely sprouted win-ter wheat seedlings can withstandremains to be seen, but may not beas low as well established andproperly hardened off plants. As spring approaches, winterwheat producers will want to as-sess the status of their crop andcontact their crop insurance agentif evidence of winterkill becomesapparent.

My Father’s Handby Kenneth L. Monette

When I look back upon his handsI see the scars and veinsHard use through many years ofworkAnd results of many pains.

His hands told a storyIf you took the time to lookOf the toil and workTo raise the family that it took.

He’s been a farmer, a truck driverAnd anything it took to feed andclothe his familyAnd keep them happyWith the Bible as their book.

We were dressed maybe poorlyBut we were never too coldAnd that Dad helped our MotherIn the homemaker role.

His Hands worked all dayAs he toiled as told tired and wearyIn days hot or cold.

He had a place to come toWhen the day was doneWith his wife and childrenIn the place they called their home.

You never heard him grumbleOr every really complainYet he worked in the cold andThe wind and the rain.

My Father’s hands were tender,When diaper he did change.The times he held and rocked andSang to me when I was havingpain.Today I am rememberingAll those daysHe was our DadAnd now we have His memories.And our life is really sad.

Now as we go on in life without himWe remember those guiding handsAnd when I look down upon myarm,I hope to see my Father’s hands.

Visitorsby Kenneth L. Monette

I had a visitor the other dayTwo hours she said that she couldstay.My what a treat to see a friend,To talk, to laugh, and rememberwhen

These are the wishes from old peo-ple I’ve known.When they are lonely, forlorn andalone. Remember we went swimmingdown by the treeJust the old family dog and you andme.

We laughed, we played and hadlots of fun.We talked about school and all thethings we had done.

Old friends are like leaves that fallfrom the tree.You know they’ll come back for youto see.

How are your family, do they visityou at home?Do they come at the holidays, likewe have done?

Or do they now live so far awaythey Can’t get to see you for even a day?

Remember the fun we used tohave,

In the winter we skated,And slid down a hill on a home-made sled,Threw snowballs, made snowmenAnd wished we didn’t have to go tobed.

Gosh I wish you didn’t have to go,We could talk forever, and not sayenough.

So much to remember, of long agoCome back, come back, old friend ofmineTo Somerset Court we will talksome more of another time.

Foxhole Christmasby Kenneth Monette

Well Merry Christmas MomIt’s that time of yearI hope you get this letter folks,The fighting is getting near.We came across the ocean, MomTo stop this terrible war.Maybe we will win peace again, That’s what we are fighting for.

I sure wish I was there for Christ-mas. I really miss the tree.It’s dark and cold here, Mom.And no friends are here with me.

The bombs are getting closer, Momand the soldiers are right behind.Don’t worry I will be brave, Dad,and stay fighting on the line.

I sure wish that I was home, Mom.I am lonesome and it’s Christmastime.Put pretty bells upon the tree,Mom.Just make the old tree shine.

I have to end this letter, MomFor the fighting seems quite near.Merry Christmas Mom and all.Pray God will help me here.

We should be thankfulfor this time of contemplation. Agnes Tastad lent me a book,“Unafraid,” byFrancine Rivers. Ittells how Mary feltabout being thechosen one. After church,Irene Cox, EleanorHolmes, FloyOlson and Vivianplayed whist tillthey were stiff. The Rapid CityJournal of Decem-ber 30, 2012, hadan article aboutteaching childrenwith reading diffi-culties, sometimescalled dyslexia.These childrenmay be average orabove average in-telligence. It seemsthat Karin Merkle,

a Rapid City tutor, who uses the so-called Barton method, has helpedmany dyslexic children toward suc-cess in reading and math. Onefacet of the story is that tutoring inBarton is not permitted in the reg-ular classroom. Eileen Tenold’s sister died re-cently. Eileen would like to go toTacoma, Wash., to her funeral. Our Somerset Court resident,Larry Salano, has moved out toWest Hills Village, I heard. I willmiss walking by his room where hehad a big fiber giraffe in the hall-way. The giraffe was decoratedwith Somerset Court mardi grasbeads and my two-year-old great-granddaughter, Ceceila, liked to“borrow” a string of beads and wearthem while she walked laps withher mother and me. Then Ceceliawould hang the beads back on theneck of the giraffe when we cameback around. One time, Larry gaveCecelia a string of beads. How come we are so smart thatwe can “rover” on Mars, diggingand climbing and taking and send-ing pictures back, but we still havequite a few management problemsback here on earth?

e-mail: [email protected] News Today is the last day of 2012.How about those New Years’ resolu-tions? Did you make any? Speakingfor myself, I did not. Looking out ourpicture window the other night, Icouldn’t help but think of just howlucky we are to live in rural AmericaU.S.A. It was a quiet night. From adarkened blue sky, a full moon wasshining down on the crispy, cold,snowcovered ground. It was ab-solutely one of those Kodak mo-ments. A moment in time, when allseemed at peace and right with theworld! It brought back memories ofa certain night, some years ago,when a number of us teachers tookCCD kids from our church, Christ-mas caroling around the Town ofMidland. Judy Fosheim drove afour-wheeler, pulling a trailer filledwith hay bales, for everyone to siton. It was a memorable night. Godgraced us with His natural beauty,on that crispy, cold, winter’s night,as that deep blue sky was alive withbright, shining, stars. Before I start my news columnfor this week, I have a trivia ques-tion for some of you. In our familyChristmas letter, with family pic-tures, there was a picture of Char-lene on one of her travels this pastsummer. Some may have picked upon the caption below the picture, asit told of Charlene being in front ofa castle in Lithuania? Now was thecaption correct? That is the ques-tion? This was a history lesson ofsorts, as in truth, in the pictureCharlene was in front of St. Basil’sCathedral, with its beautiful domes,an absolutely amazing structure.This church is located in Red Squarein Moscow, Russia. Some may nothave picked up on it, but others mayhave. Can’t have people thinkingCharlene has no idea of where she’sbeen or where she’s going, now canwe? Exactly! Mom, that would beme, messed up, so I am trying to fixthe mix up. So, now, for a historylesson of that cathedral! St. Basil’sCathedral was commissioned byTsar Ivan the Terrible. The story istold that Ivan had the architectblinded in order to prevent him frombuilding a more magnificent build-ing for any else. On that rather dis-tressful bit of history, it is time toget on with the news. Hope I haven’tlost any of you in this whole historylesson process. Speaking of history! History buff,Mahlon Alcock, will be celebratinghis 90th birthday, January 15, 2013.A while back, I had the privilege ofinterviewing and doing an article onMahlon for the Pioneer Review.From this quiet fellow, with a drysense of humor, I learned howPierre became the state capital ofSouth Dakota. When needing toknow some local history and historyof South Dakota, I call Mahlon. Wewish you a happy 90th birthday,Mahlon. Got a call from Marina Schofieldof Truman, Minn., who reportedthey are doing well. She still worksfor home health and Wes works atthe Valero ethanol plant at Wel-

Those of theNemec family who can make it willagain meet in June on Father's Day. We had our family Christmasgathering on Christmas Day at ourhome in Midland, this year. Char-lene came from Bismarck, N.D., andChristopher, Stephanie and Laurafrom Mitchell on December 22. Jim,Carmen, Beth, JoAnna, Kayla andDale came from Belle Fourche,Christmas Eve. They’d had theirChristmas gathering at their homeon Sunday with Carmen’s side of thefamily. They stopped at the Silver-leaf in Philip, and visited Carmen’sgrandmother, Blanche Dolezal, be-fore coming to Midland. We hadlasagna and garlic bread furnishedby Jim and Carmen for ChristmasEve supper. The evening was spentplaying games and Beth had a newgame for the game players. With thefun and hilarious laughter thatwent on, I’m sure it will be a gameplayed, whenever we gettogether.Christmas morning, Jimmade his famous French toast andCharlene her fluffy scrambled eggs,to the delight of everyone. April,Steve and Miranda came ChristmasDay. They had been to Sioux Fallsfor a Christmas Eve get-togetherwith the Meeker side of the family.Their son, Jamie, lives and works atLincoln, Neb., so was at the Meekergathering. Judy Fosheim, grand-daughter, Shyanne, and daughter,Crystal Neuharth, stopped in hav-ing a chance to see Laura open hergifts. As I close my column for thisweek, I wish you a Happy NewYear, as it is January 1, 2013.Called our son, Christopher, to wishhim a happy birthday, as he wasborn New Year’s Day, Jaunuary 1,1986, 27 years ago. He, Stephanieand Laura had been invited to thehome of some friends for New Year’sEve. Beth’s new game made it toMitchell, as Christopher said every-one played that game on New Year’sEve. And so, I leave you with the fol-lowing from a book written byRichard Paul Evans, “TheCarousel.” “I have come to believethat we do not walk alone in thislife. There are others, fellow so-journers, whose journeys are inter-woven with ours in seemingly ran-dom patterns, yet, in the end, havebeen carefully placed to reveal a re-markable tapestry. I believe God isthe weaver at that loom.” God blesses us with many bless-ings, for sure! Have a good week anda great new year!

The 2012-2013 school year willbe one filled with excitementthrough the South Dakota StateUniversity Extension, 4-H YouthDevelopment's Teens Educatingthrough Advocacy and Mentorshipprogram (T.E.A.M). Twelve South Dakota school dis-tricts and after school programsfrom across the state will be host-ing 66 teens in their implementa-tion of the healthy living program,said Suzanne Geppert, 4-H youthpartnerships field specialist. The Haakon School District isone of those districts. The studentleaders will be Tara Cantrell,Shelby Schofield, Tate DeJong,Sam Huston, Peyton DeJong andAfton Reedy. The program will belocally supervised by BrigitteBrucklacher and Pamela DeJong. The other 11 schools are BelleFourche, Sturgis, Winner, McIn-tosh, Clark, Webster, Baltic, Sisse-ton, Lower Brule, Redfield andBurke. “The strong support and positivefeedback received from the teensparticipating, the school district's

support, as well as the dedicationof our 4-H youth advisors attrib-utes greatly as to its success,” saidGeppert. Schools applied to join the pro-gram in early October, 2012. Appli-cations were reviewed and teach-ers, 4-H advisors and teens weretrained in the program at theSDSU regional Extension centersin Pierre and Watertown in No-vember and December. “The main goal behind this pro-gram is to not only educate throughcontent but prepare these youngpeople to become employableadults in the future,” Geppert said. She said one common theme pre-sented to the youth throughout theprogram is the quote by JohnRuskin, “The highest reward for aperson's work is not what they getfor it, but what they become be-cause of it.” “We want these youth to have areal life career exploration experi-ence that will prepare them for fu-ture leadership roles; whether it isin business, education or commu-nity involvement,” she said.

T.E.A.M is a tiered program thatnot only prepares teens to becomeemployable adults, but also helpsthem build strong leadership skillsthat will help them in their per-sonal and school setting. Once theycomplete Tier 2, students can applyto do an individual project in Tier 3that becomes a personal advocacyprogram. “Showing personal leadershipand being a driven individual areskills that employers are lookingfor in today's fast paced society,”said Audrey Rider, SDSU Exten-sion 4-H youth leadership field spe-cialist. Teens participating in the pro-gram are trained by 4-H field spe-cialists in the experiential learningmodel and the importance of mak-ing a lesson age appropriate, pro-gram resources – including the useof the South Dakota Teens asTeachers Wiki Site, creating com-munity action plans, developmentof community partnerships, lessonplan development and what ismeans to be a professional. Danette Jarzab, communitywellness coordinator for the SouthDakota Discovery Center, trainedyouth in the implementation of theHarvest of the Month program andKari Senger, healthy schools pro-gram manager for the Alliance forHealthier Generations, talked toteens about empowering them-selves to take action within theircommunities and schools to in-crease positive health habits. This round of 4-H Teens asTeachers utilizes the Harvest ofthe Month Healthy Living Programoffered by the S.D. Discovery Cen-ter. Teens are expected to utilizethat resource as well as other re-sources provided to teach lessons toelementary age youth. South Dakota 4-H youth advi-sors, will work with school/after-school personnel to monitor theprogram and take on necessaryleadership roles for its completion. This SDSU Extension 4-H pro-gram partners youth with localFCCLA chapters, South Dakota 4-H Foundation, 21st Century Learn-ing Centers, S.D. Discovery Center,Alliance for Healthier Generations,Coordinated School Health, andcommunity leaders and agencies tocreate learning communities thatallow youth the opportunity to ex-perience greatness by making a dif-ference within their communitiesand schools. It allows youth toproblem solve and plan by develop-ing and carrying out lesson plansfor grades two through five that arerelevant to the South DakotaHealth Education Standards.

The Department of Health andnortheastern area health careproviders are investigating a clus-ter of bacterial infections. CRE, orcarbapenem-resistant Enterobacte-riaceae, are difficult to treat be-cause they are resistant to manyantibiotics. To date this year, 26 potentialcases of CRE from northeasternSouth Dakota have been reportedto the department for evaluation.CRE cases have been reported in42 states, including all of SouthDakota’s neighboring states exceptNebraska. CRE bacteria such as Klebsiellaand E. coli are found in the humandigestive system and can becomeresistant to carbapenem antibi-otics. Patients on ventilators, uri-nary or intravenous catheters, orlong courses of certain antibiotics

are most at risk for CRE infections.Healthy people are not at risk. The department has providedarea healthcare and long term carefacilities with guidelines from theCenters for Disease Control andPrevention for the control of CREand also published the informationin the August issue of SouthDakota Medicine. It is possible to care for patientsand residents with CRE and anyother organism while safely caringfor other patients and residents inthe same facility. Protocols havebeen established and are followedto ensure patient and staff safety. The CDC guidelines focus onscreening of high risk individuals,laboratory capacity for testing, ap-propriate use of antibiotics to pre-vent drug resistance, and properinfection control precautions.

about the size of a soccer ball. Chal-lenging to try to get a little ball togo where you wanted it to go to winor at least make a score. There are so many new elec-tronic toys that it is just amazingwhat they do. But, the old firetruck that has been popular formany years was still just as popu-lar now even if it is several yearsold. There was lots of visiting and

catching up on the happenings ofeveryone's lives. Doug and Phyllisreported that they had retired andwere planning an extended tripafter the new year to the southernstates. They went in a different di-rection last year and enjoyed it.They will be gone for awhile andwill miss out on some of the coldweather in South Dakota. December 22, Marvin, Vicki andMary Eide enjoyed Christmas atChrista and Trevor Fitch’s with allthe Fitch families. It was held inthe new shed and it was so nice andthe kids all had a nice warm placeto play. It was to be just a pick-upmeal that would be easy (tacos etc.)But, we had barbequed chickenwings, fresh fruit trays, potatochips and dips, crackers, coldmeats and cheese trays, and lots ofdesserts. Burjes was busy makingFrench fries in his new cooker andeveryone gobbled them up as fastas he had a batch done. As usual, there was lots of foodand we again ate too much. Marvinand I stayed home Christmas Eveday and evening and rested. Ofcourse there is always chores to do.Marvin got a new hay processorand people were out getting the liq-uid feed tank on it this last week.He reports that he likes what itdoes and thinks that it grinds thehay up a little more than the oldone did. Herb and Hazel Sieler spentChristmas Eve day at BillGottslebens’ along with Myrna,Kathy, Barbara, Caroline and theirfamilies and Phyllis and MarvinColeman. Sharon was unable to behere for Christmas. Bill andJayne’s kids were all home from

their schools for the holidays.Hazel said they had a white ele-phant exchange that Jayne hasmade an every year event. Every-one always enjoys it. Christmas will not be over till Ican no longer see the star atGottsleben’s, which I really enjoyseeing each year. I drove past andsaw the rest of their decorationsone night. What a pretty scene. Ithought that if I was hooked up tothe Internet, it would be a neat pic-ture to send from our town (Grind-stone). And not to leave anyone elseout, there are a lot of other prettylights in this community this year. My niece, Barbara Coy, was hereearly to spend some time with herdad and other family members.She came over and spent the after-noon with me Friday, December 22.She made some bean soup, from anew recipe, and some corn breadand brought some over so I couldhave it for supper. It was delicious. I did not have to do anything forsupper except stick it in the mi-crowave and supper was done. Sat-urday, she went to Deb and KiethSmith’s to spend some time withher great-nieces. Cassidy washome early to spend the holidays. I usually don’t like to say muchabout the sad events with all theshootings, but I do wish we couldknow what the cause is. There areso many different ideas, but if wecould really know, many we coulddo something to stop them. We canpray and hop that there will be asolution someday. God does answerall prayers in His time not in ourtime. Keep praying for the muchneeded moisture in 2013.

Thekids were well prepared, the schoolwas packed, and Santa made a sur-prise visit – it was wonderful.Thanks to Theresa Deuchar andthe students for their hard work! Aunt Ruth Neuhauser enjoyedhaving her son, Kevin, his wife,Mary, and their daughter, Bri-anna, join her for Christmas dinnerat Highmore Health on ChristmasDay.

They were married ina private ceremony prior to Christ-mas, and they'll be having a recep-tion at a later date. After Christ-mas, Dorothy and Nels went totown to order a new washing ma-chine.

back to her home in Missoula, andBilly and Arlyne watched anotherbasketball game before spendinganother night with Cindy andBruce. On their way back towardthe ranch Sunday, Billy and Arlyneattended a 70th birthday celebra-tion for their friend, Bob Anderson,near Sturgis. It sounds like it wasa busy, wonderful time! Dick and Gene Hudson spentChristmas Eve with Pat Snook andfamily near Midland. ChristmasDay was quiet for Dick and Gene –they were in charge of chores, be-cause their daughter, Connie, andher family had traveled to Min-nesota to spend Christmas with theJohnson relatives.

Lee and Mary Briggs had daugh-ters, Rea and Keva, and familieshome for Christmas. Lee said thatLil Briggs took a fall recently, andshe is now back at her home beingcared for by family. Bill and Polly Bruce attendedChristmas Eve Mass in EagleButte. Their son, Vince, and hiswife, Katie, traveled to Iowa on the23rd to spend Christmas with herfamily, so Bill and Polly were incharge of keeping the ranch choresdone. Christmas Day, Marcia(Bruce) and Doyle Simon and theirdaughter, Shelby, were guests ofBill and Polly for Christmas Din-ner. December 28, all of the Brucefamily met at a hotel in Pierre fortheir family Christmas gathering.Polly said all of their children andspouses were able to attend thisyear, as well as all but one of thegrandchildren!

Kevin Neuhauser had beenbuilding a box for Cole Brigg'spickup for use with his cattle busi-ness. I guess Cole has been super-vising. Kevin does quite a bit of fab-ricating in his shop – lots of talentthere! Cole said he'll be heading toMontana soon to do more cattlework, but right now is a bit of abreak in his busy schedule. Max and Joyce Jones were inRapid City recently to see the der-matologist, and the good news isthat Max doesn't have to go backfor three months! Christmas Day,all the kids and grandkids joinedMax and Joyce for the day. Itsounds like some of the group wentice fishing – they must be made oftough stuff, because it was prettycold that day.
