by Del BartelsThis year, the seventh for the

event, there were 105 motorcycles,23 support vehicles and 160 peoplein the Wounded Knee MemorialRide. The trip started in Ft. Yates,N.D., on Saturday, August 4, andended in Wounded Knee, Sunday,

August 5.Biggest one weve had so far,

said organizer David Janis. He saidthat the first year included onlyseven riders and one support vehi-cle. Now the participants comefrom Canada, Washington, NewMexico, Oklahoma, Wisconsin andother places. Weve got quite a fewfrom across the United States,said Janis.

The participants have passedthrough Philip each year, butstopped only long enough to refuel.Last year was the first time theystopped to have their lunch at FireHall Park. This year, after separat-ing into roughly four groups to hitall four filling stations in town, thegroup rejoined at the park. Permis-sion had been earlier requested,

and had been granted by the citypolice department. The groupbrought all the food needed, restedand socialized, took extra time toclean up the area, then continuedon to Wounded Knee.

According to the event website,woundedkneememorialrun.com,the events purpose is to honor thetrail of Chief Big Foot from Ft.

Yates to Eagle Butte to theWounded Knee grave site. We alsohope this site brings all those whomake the run with us closer to-gether and help them to be moreunderstanding and accepting of thecultural differences between Na-tive and non-Native Americansthat live in this very culturally di-verse country we all live in. We willhonor the ancestors through prayerand ceremony by remembering andpaying our respects. Educationalprograms coordinated throughoutthe run will be presented by the de-scendents of the Wounded Kneemassacre, bringing awareness toall people; then healing and unity

can be achieved, stated the web-site.

Janis said, We would like to seeall natives and non-natives to joinus who can,

by Del BartelsThe Philip City Council meeting,

Monday, August 6, hosted an audi-ence concerned over potentialflooding problems with a proposedrailroad siding project by DakotaMill and Grain.

Ron Mitzel and Barton Banks,general council for Dakota Mill andGrain, addressed the council withtheir basic plans to build a on-and-off railroad siding on the north sideof the track just west of the currentDakota Mill and Grain buildings.

Realize we are in the preliminarystages of all of this. It affects thepeople of Philip, said Banks. Thelocal rail authority needs to be re-staffed, as we start our plattingand permit process.

Finance Office Monna Van Lintsummarized for the council that arail authority is needed for the cityof Philip and Haakon County tohelp put through required permitsand other legalities to and from thestate rail board. It has to have tax-ing authority. Though a HaakonCounty Rail Authority was oncecreated, to my knowledge theynever met, said Van Lint.

The construction being investi-gated by Dakota Mill and Grain isfor four, eventually six, grain binsto be erected so approximately 28

rail cars can be loaded at a time,rather than the current three. Be-cause of platting, topography andother constraints, the loadingwould have to be with a boom overthe current track. The side railwould be close to the same eleva-tion as the current railroad track.

Because of industry require-ments, Dakota Mill an Grain wouldeither have to put up somethingnew or close shop, said Banks.This will greatly increase our com-petitiveness and attract new cus-

tomers.The audience was more con-cerned with recent railroad prac-tices of filling in under tressels anddiminishing flood backup landareas. Mike Seager showed a videofrom the 1996 flood in which wa-ters came up higher and farquicker than before. The video alsoshowed railroad crews using craneequipment to open up weed block-age under the railroad bridge nearSeagars house.

I can ensure everyone DakotaMill and Grain will not constructsomething that will make thingsworse. Hopefully anything wemight do will improve things, saidBanks.

Mayor Mike Vetter and councilmember Greg Arthur will sit on the

rail authority, and Mitzel andBanks will provide a more evolvedplat for the council.

Continuing the meeting, thecouncil approved the payment ofbills, which totaled over $79,443.Of that, $12,556 went to the tele-vising and cleaning on July 12 ofsome of the sewer lines in the city.Gross salaries through July cameto over $30,435.

Vetter reported that negotiationswith the county commissioners didnot change the markedly increased

rent for city offices in the countycourthouse. The city, though, willwant a written lease.

The council approved a bid of$3,593.40 for updating the citysutility billing computer software.

The council approved the secondreading of an ordinance establish-ing a discretionary tax formula topromote the construction and im-provement of industrial, commer-cial, commercial residential andresidential structures within thecorporate limits of the city.

The council formally approvedMolly Coyle as the pool managerfor the remainder of the season. At-tendance though July 31 for theseason is 5,926. Income from swim-ming passes so far is $7,671. Swim-ming lessons this year had an at-tendance of 156, while last year theattendance was 178. The pools lastday of operation for 2012 will be

August 18, with reduced hours Au-

gust 15-16. Exterior repairs willthen be done to the pool bathhouse.The Haakon County Young Womenthanked the city for the use of thecity swimming pools restrooms byKiddie Park patrons. The HCYWwill pursue their application for aGame, Fish and Parks land andwater conservation grant for tenniscourt improvements in 2013.

The total estimated assessed costin the Wood and Walden AvenueImprovement Project for adjacentlandowners will be $134,977.Break downs will be sent to theowners of each of those lots. The 40percent amount to be assessed tothe private landowners totals$53,990.80.

Building permits were approvedfor Kay Ainslie to put up a 8x12shed contingent upon maintaininga setback of five foot on the sideand rear yard; for Ray and Karen

Gibson to remove and replace adriveway and to replace sidewalk,approach, curb and gutter, forDarin Naescher to put up a 12x16shed, and for Rick and Peggy Pale-cek to put in a sidewalk. Any con-struction must abide with the fivefoot space requirements from thelot line.

The South Dakota Departmentof Transportation has determinedthat three metal light poles alongLarimer Avenue are unsafe andshould be replaced. A sidewalkproject proposed for 2015 would re-quire the poles to be temporarilytaken out. The city would like topursue using temporary woodenpoles until that time. West CentralElectric has agreed to supply thewooden poles and do the work.

After the sidewalk project, it will bedetermined if these poles will be re-placed with new metal ones or not.

For the last half of June and firsthalf of July, the amount of waterpurchased is 6,953,000 gallons.The monthly water loss is recordedat 7.67 percent.

The preliminary budget, withspecial attention to the level ofproperty taxes, will be discussedduring the next meeting.

S. Center Avenue will be closedfrom Pine Street south to OakStreet on Saturday, September 8,from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. for theSouth Dakota Rural Electric Char-ity Ride.

City offices will be closed Mon-day, September 3, in honor of theLabor Day holiday.

The next regular city councilmeeting will be Tuesday, Septem-ber 4, at 7:00 p.m. in the HaakonCounty Courthouse communityroom.

Washing the car, painting the house, planning a picnic all are traditional thingspeople can do to almost guarantee rain. Add to those the opening up of your roof

for repairs. The Pioneer Review web press room had its ceiling off just in time forthe heavy rains that hit Wednesday, August 1. This year especially, rain is a good

thing, but the timing was a headache. Tarps were quickly thrown over the pressmachinery. After the ceiling and roof were replaced, after the floors were moppedand after everything was put back to normal, the presses were made ready for

Seven rolls of new wrestling mats were delivered Thursday, August 2, to PhilipHigh School. According to new Secondary Principal Mike Baer, the school has notreplaced its old mats since before Matt Donnelly became the wrestling coach.

The mats were temporarily stored in the Digital Dakota Network distance learningroom just west of the stage in the Fine Ar ts Building. The DDN room will become

the new weight room, with its own new mats. The old weight room will be usedthis school year for AAU wrestling practice and for aerobics. The DDN equipmentwill be moved to room A-3. Shown in the truck is Baer lowering a roll to Casey

Seager. Seth Haigh and Reed Johnson, students employed for the summer bythe school district, carried the mats in. Photo by Del Bartels

The Department of Health re-ported on August 6 that a HughesCounty resident in the 80 to 89 agegroup has died of West Nile virusencephalitis.

It is the first WNV-related deathreported in South Dakota since2007.

This unfortunate death is a sadreminder that those over age 50are at higher risk for West Nilecomplications, said Dr. Lon

Kightlinger, state epidemiologistfor the Department of Health.

Thirteen South Dakota countieshave now had WNV detections.There have been nine human WNVcases, seven positive blood donors,one positive horse, one positive birdand 34 positive mosquito pools.

Since its first case in 2002, SouthDakota has reported more than1,700 human WNV cases and 27deaths.

To prevent mosquito bites andreduce the risk of WNV, the de-partment recommends these per-sonal precautions. Use mosquitorepellents (DEET, picaridin, oil oflemon eucalyptus, or IR3535) andlimit exposure by covering up.Limit time outdoors from dusk tomidnight when Culex mosquitoesare most active. Get rid of standingwater that gives mosquitoes a placeto breed. Support local mosquito

control efforts.Personal precautions are espe-

cially important for those at highrisk for WNV people over 50,pregnant women, transplant pa-tients, individuals with diabetes orhigh blood pressure, and those witha history of alcohol abuse. People

with severe or unusual headachesshould see their physicians.

Summer moon ... by Del Bartels The evening had been far more pleasant than most. The temperature

had already dipped below 90 degrees. A relatively refreshing breeze

made things feel even better. That rare thing that sometimes fills the

sky, I believe they call it cloud cover, was coming in from the northwest.

In the part of the sky that was still open, the full moon beamed down.

It was yellow, rather than that hazy red that indicates smoke was in

the atmosphere from wildfires west of here.

People were out and about, having left their doors open in order to

air out the musty smell of 24-hour-a-day air conditioning. Strolling was

aimless, but the waving to other strollers and dog walkers was pointed.

Short greetings and longer conversations all were done with one eye

toward the approaching clouds. Maybe, just maybe, we would get more

than the two inches earlier that afternoon ... two inches between drops

for about five minutes while the sun was still shining. As the sky dark-

ened, the wind picked up. Patches of the northern sky flashed bright

with lightning. Would heated gusts of wind and fire-starting lightning

be all that the sky would give us? Finally, the rain did come a good,

tall drink of precious water.

The next morning I went jogging. The gravel road was moist brown

and the ditch plants were glistening green; a wonderful change from

gray dust and brown foliage. My lungs were used to a burning rasping,but now felt the odd sensation of moisture in the air. The full moon was

still up, though growing fainter in the morning light. I watched it as I,

like an ancient wolf, slowly lopped along. The leader of my pack, my

son, was visiting relatives. He is also my coach, so my desire to slow to

a walk was almost overpowering. The moon seemed to mock that need

to quit. A car came up from behind, slowly creeping around me. They

were probably just being polite, but could have been wondering if I

might need a ride to the hospital. A horse hung its head over the wire

fence to watch me wheeze along. Horses actually do laugh. The whole

time the moon hung with me. I reached the fresh blacktop of the high-

way, and the stickiness from 100 degree heat wasnt there. Local vehi-

cles gave me wide berth, probably not wanting to watch me keel over.

Out-of-county vehicles didnt move over at all.

I began the slow accent toward the school. My lungs must not have

been used to the moisture, because I was struggling more than normal.

I saw a turtle in front of me. After a minute or two, it pulled over to let

me pass. Looking over my shoulder, I noticed the moon was still fol-

lowing. Back in town, the standing water from the rain was shrinking

away. Tree limbs, weakened from the drought, had broken off. The tem-

perature was already rising. That rain was good, enough to help farm-

ers and ranchers fight the thought of quitting. I wasnt going to quit

running. Like the water, the moon was also fading. Hopefully, like the

full moon, the rains will return to refresh our spirits.

after the leopard, and guesses hemight be up to no good. When theleopard hears the monkeys story hefeels angry at being made a fool,and offers the monkey a ride backto see him exact his revenge.

The little dog sees them ap-proaching and fears the worst.Thinking quickly, the little dog

turns his back, pretends not to no-tice them, and when the pair arewithin earshot says aloud, Nowwhere's that monkey got to? I senthim ages ago to bring me anotherleopard ....

What a wonderful story to illus-trate how with just a little extrathought and some creative thinkingwe can keep the monkey off ourback and the leopards at bay!

Gather allthe facts, be constructively discon-tent with those facts and do somebrainstorming and green-lightthinking. Then, simply write out anaction plan to live a richer, fullerand happier life. Take action on theplan!

Tap your creative potential

Deep within each of us lies agreat wealth of creative potential,and I believe tapping into this po-tential is the best way to solve thechallenges that we encounter in ourlives. Let me share a story that il-lustrates my point.

A lady takes her pet chihuahuawith her on a safari holiday. Wan-

dering too far one day, the chi-huahua gets lost in the bush andsoon encounters a very hungry look-ing leopard. The chihuahua realizeshe is in trouble, but, noticing somefresh bones on the ground, he set-tles down to chew on them, with hisback to the big cat. As the leopardis about to leap, the chihuahuasmacks his lips and exclaims loudly,Boy, that was one delicious leop-ard. I wonder if there are any morearound here! The leopard stopsmid-stride, and slinks away into thetrees.

Phew, says the leopard, thatwas close. That evil little dog nearlyhad me.

Midland Vacation Bible School

A Vacation Bible School was held in Midland from Monday, July 30, through Friday, August 3, with its closing program

Sunday, August 5. It was a community of kids hosted in the Open Bible Church, said pastor Andy Blye. The sessions,which were in the mornings, held 20-25 children each day, with 10 older volunteers leading the VBS. Using the theme Son-Quest Rain Forest, the final program included such songs as Love the Lord and I Have Hidden, all based on scripture.

Its been great to see people of the community make this come together and happen, said Blye. One great thing aboutMidland is a heart for the community, the way life really should be. Its a great spirit. Its fun growing and learning.

Funds were appropriated by the2012 South Dakota Legislature toexpand services to new populationsor offer strategies to help SouthDakotans in need of food assis-tance.

The Emergency Food Assistancegrants were awarded to four agen-cies:

Feeding South Dakota will re-ceive $491,813 to purchase a truck,purchase food and deliver it to theleast populated, most low-incomecounties in the state.

The Rural Office of CommunityServices, Inc. will receive $66,000to assist in establishing food

The grants will serve peopleacross the state for three years. Atthe end of the initial three-yeargrant period, the programs are ex-pected to be self-sustaining. Allgrants include a monitoring andevaluation component of each pro-grams effectiveness. The agenciesare required to maintain fiscal ac-counting and program performancedata to illustrate the success ofeach program.

$840,000 in emergencyfood assistance grants

by Senator John ThuneNearly 50 years ago President

John F. Kennedy stood on thebanks of the beautiful MissouriRiver surveying what was, at thetime, the largest rolled-earth damin the world, Oahe Dam.

Building the dam was a massiveendeavor for the United States

Army Corps of Engineers. Standing245 feet tall with an earth-fill vol-ume of 92 million cubic yards anda concrete-fill volume of 1.1 millioncubic yards, the project took morethan 14 years to complete.

The dam was designed to controlthe wild fluctuations of the Mis-souri River and to protect propertydevelopments and agriculturallands from flooding, while at thesame time providing a valuablesource of hydroelectric energy to

rural America. In his remarks atthe dedication of Oahe Dam, Pres-ident Kennedy called this feat ofengineering a striking illustrationof how a free society can make themost of its God-given resources.Since then, Oahe Dam has becomethe largest producer of hydroelec-tric energy on the Missouri Riverand is an area where families and

tourists can enjoy boating, fishingand other outdoor recreation.

As South Dakota prepares to cel-ebrate the 50th anniversary of theOahe Dam, we reflect back ontimes when the unpredictable Mis-souri River has mocked our at-tempts to control its flow andboundaries. We are reminded thatSouth Dakotas history is filledwith intermittent periods of flood-ing and severe droughts.

Yet, we are thankful for the con-struction of the Oahe Dam, andrecognize, as President Kennedydid, the great power source andeconomic benefits the dam haschanneled on the Missouri River.Despite the state and tribal landsthat were flooded during the con-struction of the dam and promisedirrigation benefits not material-

ized, this important resource hashelped to better control the some-times destructive force of the riverand convert it to a constructivesource of power generation, recre-ation, and drinking water for anumber of communities and watersystems in our state.

On this anniversary, there is noquestion of the sacrifice and dedi-

cation of countless men and womenwho have contributed to the con-struction and maintenance of theOahe Dam, nor of the impact thatthis great resource continues tohave on our state and nation.

The legend was that any humanwho approached would be killed.

That legend was apparentlyenough to make Captains Meri-wether Lewis and William Clarkwant to find out if it was true. Thecaptains, accompanied by a contin-gent of nearly four dozen men, hadset off May 14, 1804, from CampDubois near St. Louis, Mo., on their

journey to the Pacific coast andback.

As they traveled up the MissouriRiver, the captains heard about acone-shaped hill about eight milesnorth of what is now Vermillion.Called Paha Wakan by the Lakota,the Indian tribes in the area be-lieved the hill to be the home ofsprits or devils. The devils were re-ported to be 18-inches high, humanin form, but with large heads andarmed with sharp arrows thatcould kill all who attempted to ap-proach the hill. The tribes in thearea would not go near the place.

Accompanied by 10 or 11 menand Lewis Newfoundland dog,Seaman, Lewis and Clark set out

August 25, 1804, to hike to the topof the hill. They lived to explore an-other day, as they found no devils.What they did find was what Clarkdescribed in his journals as a mostbeautiful landscape, with numer-ous herds of buffalo feeding in var-ious directions and the plain ex-

tending without interruption as faras the eye could see.

Spirit Mound, as the hill is nowcalled, has been restored to nativeprairie. It is one of the most signif-icant stops on the Lewis and ClarkNational Historic Trail because itis one of the few places where his-torians know that the explorers ac-

tually stood.As the expedition journeyed fur-

ther up the Missouri River, an

Arikara legend captured Clarksimagination. The legend was that aman and a woman were in love, butthe girls parents would not letthem marry. The pair and their dogwandered off to mourn.

All turned to stone gradually, be-ginning at their feet. They fed ongrapes, and the woman has abunch of grapes yet in her hand,Clark wrote in his journal October

13, 1804. The Arikara pay greatreverence to the stones, Clarkwrote. He paid reverence to them

by naming a creek Stone Idol Creekin their honor. The stones can befound on the northeast corner ofWest Pollock Resort near Pollock.

This moment in South Dakotahistory is provided by the SouthDakota Historical Society Founda-tion. The South Dakota CulturalHeritage Center in Pierre is an of-ficial site on the Lewis & Clark Na-tional Historic Trail.

Five generations

Monday, July 30, I and my great-granddaughter, Kiley went toPhilip and we called on Jean Burnswho had just gotten out of the hos-pital. Then we went to see NormaOldenberg. Norma showed Kileyher new sewing machine and all itcould do and some of the quilts shehad made.

While at Normas we got to talk-ing about the time that they had

been at a party and we had a goodlaugh. Kiley then wanted to stopand see her aunt, Gladys Smith.Gladys was so glad to see her.

Lenore Brucklacher had the mis-fortune of throwing her shoulderout when she tried to reach some-thing she needed that was up high.This is painful and takes a longtime to heal. I fell a few years backand put mine out and was in ther-apy a long time, but it has healedand I dont have any trouble with itnow.

Kent and Sheila Olson went toNorth Dakota to visit Kents fam-ily. Sheilas sister, Pam, who isspending some time here visiting,stayed in Philip and looked afterKent and Sheilas house while theywere away. It was nice to see andvisit with Pam. I got to know herwhen her mother was in the PhilipNursing Home a few years ago.

Pam said that she went back towhere she and Sheila grew up andbought a house there to retire in.This will be nice so that whenSheila goes back home to visit shewill have a place to stay.

Thursday, August 2, Sheila andPam hosted a party for a new busi-ness in Philip to acquaint peoplewith all the products they were of-fering and I attended. Whatyummy finger food, punch, tea andcoffee was served and many of usgo to see Olsons house which is

just beautiful. Where ever youlooked you could see Sheilas artis-tic hand making it a place they canenjoy and relax in.

It was good to see Jean Burnsthere. She is doing great, but saidthat it was a little difficult gettingused to just having one hand towork with. She said that she hasgood help with Howard and herdaughters, who live here.

Phyllis Coleman is back to hernormal chores as her shoulder hasfinally healed. She said that she isdoing great. It was a long time get-ting it healed and she is glad theordeal is over. She had to makemany trips back and forth to get itdone.

Bob Thorson played in a golftournament at the golf course inPhilip this week. His fiance, Jodi

Ainsworth, will be leaving to govisit her daughter, Jennie Frost, inUtah. She will be there when herfirst grandchild is born and will be

staying for a while to help out andget acquainted with the new baby.Bob also said that his mother,Phillis, is back in Philip for a while

just enjoying being home.Thursday, August 2, I enjoyed

lunch at Norma Oldenbergs, alongwith Jan Hewitt, Pastor KathyChesney, Janet Magelky, KimDeuter and Holly Nemec. A deli-cious lunch was served and a

dessert Norma called Mexican SamOreos, which consisted of takingtortilla wraps and spreading themwith peanut butter and then sprin-kling them with real chocolatechips and marshmallows. Then youput them in the oven to bake for afew minutes. They were very richbut delicious. She also had somevery good chocolate bars that shehad made.

She served us chicken salad oncroissant rolls along with freshfruit, chips, iced cinnamon and reg-ular tea. We all enjoyed stories oftimes long ago and also the pres-ent. It was a short visit as most ofthose there had jobs to get back to.

After lunch, I visited with Lucille(Dean) Peterson. She has such anicely decorated apartment and itis very homey. She was busy doingsome things in her kitchen. Afterfinishing that task, we sat in her

living room and talked about ourfamilies. Her dad and mother, Jackand Tressa (Post) Dean and myfolks were neighbors and goodfriends and we grew kids grew uptogether.

We enjoyed catching up on thefamilies and some funny storieswere remembered by both of us.Memories of when we grew up andwhen Lucille and Jim were mar-ried and Kenneth and I would visitthem whenever there was countrymusic playing in Philip as we allenjoyed the same kind of music.

Lucille and Jim liked to comeand hear Marvin play. They took inall the Buttons and Bows shows.Lucille said that Jimmy Dean wasdoing well and lives in a house withsix others. They each have their in-dividual room, but all eat and visittogether. Jimmy fell and broke hiship and will be confined to a wheel-chair from now on. I got Jimmysaddress from her so I could sendhim a card. This was an enjoyablevisit.

Ike Dale is a plus at the Senechalas he picks up the trash that peopleleave outside their apartmentdoors and takes it outdoors forthem.

Jan Hewitt said that she hasmoved back to Philip and it willmake it easier for her during thewintertime as it can be a long tripfrom Kadoka to Philip when theroads are bad.

The Masons had a fun day Sat-

urday evening for families after the4-H activities. Several from thiscommunity attended to watch theirgrandchildren, nieces andnephews.

Gary and Julie Nixon, Marvinand Vicki Eide and Mary Eidesgrandchildren/ great-grandchil-dren participated in the fun as didseveral of Marys nieces andnephews, so they all attended.

Donnie and Deloris Poss also hadfamily in the event. Donniebrought a horse in for our grand-daughter/ great-granddaughter,Kiley, to ride. This is the horse that

Kiley has been riding this summerwhen she helped Donnie move cat-tle. The horse was a little marethat Donnie had raised as a colt 15years ago. The mare had a half-brother, and Donnie broke themboth during a stormy March calv-ing season. He would go 24 hoursby unsaddling one after 12 hoursand saddling the other one up for12 hours of work. They were well-broke after that. So he brought thehorse in for Kiley. They had beenup to Wall the week prior with thehorse and did well. The horse hadnever been in any events at a rodeobefore going to Wall, but she didvery well for being a cow/ ranchhorse. Kiley was proud to be able toride her and do the best she could.Donnie and Deloris treat Kiley likea granddaughter. What good neigh-bors they are!

Both Kiley and Taegan Sielercame home with prizes and moneyfrom the events. So many little kidsand up to age 16 participated, so Ithink you will see rodeo around fora long time in this area. The Ma-sons plan to do this again next yearand they will have time to iron outsome trouble spots that caused afew problems this year.

I dont know how some of theother kids did but maybe there willsomething in the paper. I did see areporter or two there taking pic-tures.

I enjoyed the day and met many

very polite and well-behaved chil-dren. So many asked if they couldhelp me, as I was using my cane. Itis nice to know people are trainingtheir children to do what is rightand to help others.

Will close my news for this weekand will try to get a hold of some ofthe people next week to see whatthey have been up to over theweekend of August 4 and 5 and lastweek.

Keep enjoying the summer andtry to stay as cool as you can in theheat. It will not be long and we willbe talking about how cold it is.Well, if you live in South Dakotathats just the way it is. We neverseem to have the same weather re-peat its self, thats why we callSouth Dakota the land of variety.But there is no other place I wouldrather be than right here.

by Bill KunkleMaybe its a report of a fire near the drug store in

Wall, or flight injury on Highway 79 or it could be athree-car accident near Kadoka, or a pregnant wormanwho reports her water broke and the baby is coming.

The 911 emergency services communications centerin Rapid City handles about 250,000 such calls a year,50,000 of which are real emergencies.

Corey Noble is a five and one-half year veteran of the911 services center who loves his job in public safety.

The centers mission is to get help to people as soon aspossible.

You never know what is going to happen, Noblesaid. But he enjoys the uncertainty. 911 dispatchers aretrained to coach callers through emergency medical sit-uations. One such event he will never forget is a callfrom a woman on Interstate 90 near Belvidere whogave unexpected birth to a child. To complicate things,the babys feet arrived first instead of his head. Noblerelayed instructions over the phone during the processand, despite the unique circumstances, everything wentwell.

The Rapid call center services several counties inWestern South Dakota dispatching necessary, profes-sional help, police, fire and medical personnel.

Coreys father, Larry Noble, is an employee of the cityof Rapid City, and a native of this Nowlin, Midlandarea.

Corey Noble, along with other emergency service pro-vides, deserves our appreciation and respect. They pro-vide professional, quality services to the public, protecting life and property.

Tuesday morning, August 7, Billand Marsha Sumpter welcomed anew great-grandson in to theirfamily. The little one was namedJaxon and is the son of Chase andCarly May. He weighed sevenpounds and six ounces and was 191/2 inches long. He also was wel-comed by proud Aunt Amanda,Chases sister.

Of interest to folks who havehorses. I just happened to pick upToday's Horse magazine which hasan update on horse processing.South Dakota is one of the statesthat is looking at the possibilitiesof opening a processing plant. Sen-ator Frank Klouck introduced leg-islation and the Ag Committeewere overwhelmed with animalrights activists, not their con-stituents or South Dakota people,

trying to influence their vote. Wedid have processing plants in theUnited States until the 1980s-90swhen USDA and Congress out-lawed the processing of horses andall horses had to be shipped toCanada or Mexico. According toDavid Duquette, president of theUnited Horsemen, all segments ofthe horse industry have been im-pacted by the plants closing...horseneglect and abuse has drasticallyincreased....Once a plant is openhorses should immediately in-crease in value.

George and Sandee Gittingswere in Rapid City Monday for anappointment with a surgeon forGeorge. They stopped at New Un-derwood and visited Jim Moriartyon the way home.

6, but dont believe it. It has beenbusy for two weeks. Main Streetwas closed down on Thursday andthe four-way stop signs were up byTuesday. Every year it seems toget earlier for the bikers and eventhe weather is cooperating withtemps in the 90s, then Thursdayevening a nice shower of .40brought in the cooler weather. Fri-day the temps only reached 65.Both Ralph and Cathy are on vaca-tion for this week so they donthave to fight the traffic, but theyenjoy watching all the bikers fromtheir deck. Friday they went toSpearfish to do some errands andstopped by Lynette Klumbs workand had lunch with her.

Don and Vi Moody took a littlebreak away from the ranch Fridayand spent a couple of days at theirplace in Rapid Valley. Theychecked out how everything wasthere, then returned to the ranch

Sunday. The water systems are allpretty much completed but thegood news is there is still wateralong the creek, so the cattle areenjoying fresh water for the timebeing. However, cattlemen arecautioned that they need to keep aclose eye on the water becausesulfa poisoning is going on in someareas.

Friday, Tony Harty visited withniece Kathy Brown in the morningand Shirley Hair in the afternoon.Friday night, he attended themusic concert at the Lutheranchurch and ice cream social after-ward.

around the house and Saturdaymorning went to the Philip airportto check in and see if there wasanything I could do to help with theCivil Air Patrol training and gliderrides. Rides started early in themorning but the wind shut thingsdown about 10 a.m. I returned toRapid in the afternoon. Discussionswere in the works that Bill wouldbe going to Rochester since thingspretty much shut down as far asplanned surgery during the motor-cycle rally.
