For nearly 50 years Dan Baum-garten has served the Lemmonarea as banker and bank presi-dent. On June 29 Dan will retirefrom Dacotah Bank. Travis Ellisonhas been named the incomingmarket president and will assumehis new role July 2. GarrettSchweitzer of Lemmon has beenhired to assume the position of agricultural banker and will joinHeather Wenner, agriculturalbanker, to serve producers in theLemmon and Bison areas.

Dan graduated from LemmonHigh School and received a busi-ness degree from the AberdeenSchool of Commerce in Aberdeen,

SD. In January 1963 he was hiredby Carney Peterson in Lemmon asa bank bookkeeper and he eventu-ally took a position with the insur-ance department. Later, Dan be-came an agricultural banker serv-ing local farmers and ranchers. OnOctober 30, 1990 Baumgarten wasnamed the bank’s president serv-ing in that capacity since. He suc-ceeded Stan Petersen who hadpassed away.

When asked about the most no-table changes in banking duringhis career he reflected on the erawhen loan rates were “21% and wehad to review loans every six

months. Banking regulationstoday have made it more difficultto serve customers the way weused to,” he said. Technology hasalso changed over the years.“When I started in banking wehad an adding machine, then wegot a calculator. Today we havecomputers, online banking, andmany things people hadn’tdreamed of years ago.”

As to the present and futureprospects for Lemmon? “Thingsare looking good and we are re-bounding as young people moveback home. We have a new seniorcitizens center, a new communitycenter, and new motel.” Dan is

very proud of Lemmon’s honor asSouth Dakota’s Small Communityof the Year as recognized by Gov-ernor Dennis Daugaard and theSD Office of Economic Develop-ment.

Then named the Bank of Lem-mon, Dacotah Bank’s holding com-pany acquired the Lemmon andBison locations in 1969. Accordingto the Dacotah Bank history book,Baumgarten was named to thebank’s board of directors in Janu-ary of 1970. He and his wife Jeanlive in Lemmon as do two of theirchildren, Chad and LaRae. Theirdaughter Danelle lives in Miles

the improvements and accom-plishments achieved and that weare qualified to take care of theirloved one.”

There are at least 538 federaland state regulations that must befollowed and reviewed annually bya survey team from the statehealth department. The most re-cent survey, in October of 2011,found WHCC scoring well. The sixmeasures cited have been re-solved. WHCC has been consis-tently at or below the state aver-age in survey issues since Febru-ary 2010.

Western Horizons Care Centeris ready and able to welcome yourloved one. Thanks to moniesraised from the WHCC CapitalCampaign, new flooring will be in-stalled and ceiling tiles replaced tomake their new home more pleas-ant. Other improvements will bemade as well, once the goal of $200,000 is met. Thanks to thegenerosity of the community,grants and bequests, the cam-paign is well over half way to itsgoal. The newest event planned forthe campaign is:

“GETTING SARA MARRIED”performed by Dakota Stage Ltd.,from Bismarck, on Saturday, June9 at the Hettinger High Schoolgym.

Getting Sara Married is aptlydubbed “ARiotous Romp of a Rom-Com,” and tells the hilarious tale

of an unmarried lawyer in hermid-thirties, much too busy to getinvolved in any romance.

We’re family here and we takegreat pride in the mission:

“To assist our neighbors inachieving and maintaining theirhighest level of independence in acaring and respectful environ-ment.”

We’re family here!

Mom’s Day

By Vi Leonard

Is your spring cleaning done?Do you do spring cleaning any-

more? I am afraid I don’t do much,but it is nice to clear away the win-

ter clutter and open the windowsand freshen things up. As I looked

on the bookshelves at the Library,I realized that we do have several

books with lots of hints and how-to’s for making cleaning easier.

“10,001 Hints and Tips for theHome” by DK Publishing is so full

of good information. The index in-cludes chapters on Organizing

your Household, Decorating, cook-ing, and gardening among others.

The whole book is full of colorful,short, brief, easy to read articles.

As I paged through it, I wasamazed at the wealth of informa-

tion, some of it reminded me of things that I already know, and

other that made me wonder whydidn’t I think of that!

“Heloise From A to Z” is dividedinto chapters alphabetically, so it

is easy to find specific information.It is a 430 page book of hints.

Should answer all your questionsabout housekeeping.

“Family Circle – Hints, Tips andSmart Advice” is 14 chapters of

easy to read, short hints. It hassome chapters on things that the

ones above don’t, such as “Supermoney savers”, “Kids!, Kids!,

Kids!”, “Vacation and travel” and“Beauty secrets”.

“Mary Ellen’s Clean House” byMary Ellen Pinkham is “The all-

in-one place Encyclopedia of Con-temporary Housekeeping”. It in-

cludes eighteen ways to cut clean-ing time and a chapter on smart

buying for your home, which in-cluded appliances, windows, floor

and wall coverings, etc. Another

chapter includes information onmaking your clothes look good.Besides laundry, it includes

sewing for non-sewers where ittells how to sew a button on prop-

erly, sewing badges, iron onpatches and hemming. And then

there is a chapter that could helpyou save money on service calls for

appliances. It is called “Trou-bleshooting for the mechanically

challenged”. It tells you what tolook for first before you make that

call. It also tells you how to avoidand handle emergencies. It is easy

reading with illustrations. It is notintended to replace a service call,

but it might help you avoid an un-necessary one.

“Rodale’s Book of Hints, Tipsand Everyday Wisdom” is much

the same as the ohas more on hea

auto advice and eter on pets and ba

The valediction is thespeech delivered by the

graduate with the highestscholastic standing. The

speech

usually expresses the upsand downs the studentshave gone through and

provides a youthful insightof a hopeful future. It alsoas some color of gratitude,

Rust fungi in the genus Gym-

nosporangium cause diseases of trees in the Rosaceous or applefamily, commonly called juniperrust. Cedar-apple rust is the bestknown but there are at least nineother related rusts.

Cedar –apple rust and other re-lated rusts occur throughout theDakotas. During the summer, falland winter Cedar-apple rust andseveral other closely related rustsreside on host plants that serve assources of nutrition for the fungibut are not harmed.

TREE FACTS – Rust diseases and theSouth Dakota Farm Bureau

weighs in on farm billWhile lawmakers in Washing-n, D.C., are working on the nextarm Bill, the SD Farm Bureau isging the state's congressionallegation to focus on fiscal re-onsibility and a strong safety

t to protect the nation's food se-rity. In a recent visit to Capitolll, as well as a letter sent this

eek, Farm Bureau outlined keynsiderations for the Farm Bill."As a general farm organization,

arm Bureau is in a unique posi-n of understanding the chal-

nges in writing legislation thateets the needs of all farmers, allmmodities, and all regions of theuntry. At the same time, we areutely aware of the fiscal con-rns facing our nation," saiduth Dakota Farm Bureau Pres-

ent, Scott VanderWal, Volga.According to VanderWal, Farmureau is urging Congress toopt a "three-legged stool" ap-oach for the farm bill's safetyt, comprised of a deep loss com-nent, accompanied by the con-

nuation of a strong crop insur-ce program and the current

arketing loan provisions.

"We strongly support maintain-ing or improving the current arrayof crop insurance products avail-able, to allow farmers to developsafety nets for their operations.Our members also support the

marketing loan program and wishto extend that into new policy,"said VanderWal. "A third aspectwe support is to develop a deeploss approach that can provide cat-astrophic revenue loss protectionat the county or crop reporting dis-trict level, rather than the farmlevel. This is important for help-ing producers deal with events be-yond their control, while at thesame time reducing administra-tive costs.

VanderWal added, "Our over-arching principle is to get the fed-eral budget deficit under control.Farm Bureau policy calls for afully balanced budget by 2019, andthat means reducing all areas of the budget. We believe that agri-culture needs to do its part; at thesame time, we are urging Con-gress to treat the nation's food sys-tem proportionally and fairly.

Herbs for HealthIf you are a regular viewer of the

Dr. Oz Show you know that naturalfoods and remedies are a large partof his prescription for healthy living.Dr. Oz puts a great deal of emphasison you making yourself better ableto resist disease, staying healthyand younger feeling. Many of thevegetables and herbs he mentioned

you can grow yourself rather thanspending big bucks to buy them inthe health food store.

Garlic is one at the top of the listand it is easy to grow. Best resultscome when you plant the cloves inthe fall, early October is best for thisarea because it is cold enough theywon't sprout before hard frost. Gar-lic can be planted in the early springas well; the bulbs will not be as largeas those planted in the fall.

Coriander is another herb he pro-motes and that is the seeds from thecilantro plant. Fresh green cilantroleaves are a zesty addition to salsasand salads. It is easily grown andyou may want to plant it every cou-ple weeks to keep a fresh supply be-cause it bolts and goes to seedquickly. Harvest those seeds and youhave coriander!

Herbs and spices have strong an-tioxidant properties that are the rea-son so many "naturalists" recom-mend using them for various healthpurposes. Some of the more potentspices and herbs are: Oregano- which you can easily grow herefrom nursery plants.

Parsley - Easily grown here as anursery plant or from seed for a latecrop. I like to put a parsley plant inmy flower containers or beds, theyadd lots of green filler and clippingoff leaves for kitchen use is handy if it is in the patio containers.

Basil - another easy to grow herbfrom seed or nursery plants, I plantboth seeds and plants.

Hot peppers - all hot peppers have

capsaicin, which is what makesthem hot and healthful. Sweet bell

peppers also contaof capsaicin but hahealth properties scarotenoid and sulfur compoundpeppers are easy tstarted plants or n

Scouting fields for pests should beginearlier this year due to warm winter

Predicting how the warm winterll affect populations of pests thisar is not easy,says Adaczepaniec, South Dakota State

niversity Assistant Professord SDSU Extension Entomolo-

st."It depends largely on particularst species and their biology,"czepaniec said. "For example,sects that overwinter aboveound are more likely to be af-cted by warmer winter weatheran insects that overwinter belowound, where temperatures dot fluctuate as much."Szczepaniec adds that insectsvelop based on temperature,d will become active earlier if

mperatures are significantly

warmer during winter and springmonths. However, if there is nosource of food or large temperatureswings occur after insects break

dormancy, they will likely incurhigh rates of mortality and maynot become any greater threat tothe crops than any other year.

"One thing is certain, however,scouting should start early thisyear, and we should monitorclosely what pests are reported inthe southern portions of the stateas the migrating pests come in,"Szczepaniec said.

Specific insects Szczepaniecsays growers should monitor theirfields for include; alfalfa weevils,cutworms, blister beetles, wheataphids and grasshoppers.

"Cutworms, particularly in thenorthwestern part of the state,may become active soon, if theyhave not shown up in fields al-

ready. Jonathan Nixon, SDSU Ex-tension Entomology Field Special-ist with the Rapid City RegionalExtension Center reported thatgrasshopper populations havebeen unusually high for this timeof year in the western parts of South Dakota. Because larvae of blister beetles feed on grasshoppereggs this will mean greater num-bers of blister beetles in alfalfafields," she said. "In the comingweeks, scouting for wheat aphidsshould also intensify, as they arelikely to start to infest fields inearly to mid-May this year."




Nathan Burkhalter is the oldest in a family of ten children. Allhose of school age are home-schooled by mom Jennifer.

Nathan was born in Alexandria, VA where his dad was a youthastor. Later they moved to Alabama and then to Pierre and, fi-ally, to Prairie City, SD where Pastor Brad serves the Wesleyanongregation. The family has lived there for 11 years.

Home-schooling has been a “great advantage” in getting a headtart in his adult life, he said, because he’s been able to work atis own pace.He won’t turn 18 until June 1 but already Nathan is taking on-

ne college courses and has almost completed his first three years.He’ll finish up with an accounting degree, also on-line, from

homas Edison State College in New Jersey. He has consideredntering the seminary, following in his father’s footsteps, but hiseal passion would be to work in mission fields.

He recently flew solo to Singapore where he joined a group,which also went to Indonesia and Malaysia, teaching life princi-

les to native children. Prior to that, he had traveled with his dadn a Mission of Mercy trip to the Dominican Republic.Nathan’s currently studying Indonesian on-line; he can’t find a

ext book.He has participated in BHS athletics, both cross country and

rack. The Cross Country team was created by his dad, the coach,when Nathan was an 8th grader. Mostly, the runners have beenNathan and his siblings.

Those 3.11 mile runs in the fall helped to keep Nathan in shapeor long distance events in track each spring. He’s currentlyeeded #1 in the region in the 3200, which should earn him a

He also runs the 800 at every meet and sometimesne leg of a relay, which adds up to about 4 miles per meet.Even when he’s not competing, Nathan likes to run, when it’s for enjoyment and not so “intense.”He also enjoys memorizing scripture and plays the piano. His mom was his first instructor, now he studies

nder Gloria Veal.He worked with Loyd Veal, remodeling a house.

At home, he helps out with “whatever needso be done.”

Wasn’t that a wonderful rain?! Wereceived almost an inch and a half of much needed moisture. Most of it wasrain, but we got a little snow too.Kathy Fabris gave me a bunch of Candy onion plants and I got them inthe ground right before it started torain on Friday. I also planted sweet

corn, lima beans, black-eyed peas, andsome more cucumbers. I was going toget my herb garden planted too, but itstarted to rain before I got that done,not that I minded! I’ll probably get theherbs and flowers planted next weekbefore I set out the tomato and pepperplants.

We sold cows in Faith Monday at-tended Gene Jenson’s family service inRalph that evening. Reub’s cousinLinda (Stolt) Stuchal came home fromNebraska for Gene’s funeral and she isgoing to stay with Louise for a while.Linda was raised in Ralph right whereGene and Louise live and Gene’s deathwas like losing her brother.

A huge crowd gathered at theLutheran church in Ralph for Gene’sfuneral Tuesday. A lot of them had tosit outside when the church filled upand they got pretty warm when the

mercury soared to 94 degrees. Geneand Louise’s granddaughter Lacy Jen-son made it home from Kuwait for hergrandpa’s funeral. Taz came homefrom college at Chadron to be with hisfriend Jace Jenson. Thad caught a rideup from the Hills with Troy Hight anda multitude of friends and family gath-ered to pay their last respects to Gene.

Wednesday many of the same folksgathered in Buffalo for the funeral of Lacy’s mother, Gina Swartz, whopassed away just a few days after Genedied. Losing both their grandfatherand their mother has been a reallytough on Lacy, her brother Cody, andyounger sister Billie. We were hopingthat Lacy would be able to stay in thestates since her unit in Kuwait is going

to be coming back to the country nextweek, but no such luck. She had to flyback to Kuwait for five days and thenthe 189th will be sent to Fort Hood,Texas for a week before they come backto South Dakota. Doesn’t make muchsense to me, but the government al-ways knows best!

Shad Tenold is also stationed inKuwait with the 189th and he got tomeet Gov. Daugaard when our SouthDakota governor visited the militarybases over there last week. SundayGene Tenold brought the letter thatGov. Daugaard sent Gene and Janiceafter he met Shad, thanking his par-ents for the sacrifices their family hasmade while Shad is serving over there.Gene thought that was a really nicething for the governor to do, and so doI!

We’ll A.I. the heifers soon and I hadto drive to Hettinger in that gale forcewind Thursday to pick up some stuff from the West River Vet clinic. Thewind was so strong that it blew the roof off the Sand Creek Printing building inBelle Fourche! I had a tail wind goingin to the Spring Concert in Buffalo thatnight at the new school. Laura John-

son and the kids put on a great concertand, thankfully, the wind had gonedown a little before I had to drive homein it.

Usually the only thing the weather-man gets right 100% of the time iswhen he says the wind is going to blow,but we were really tickled that afterpredicting rain and snow for severaldays they got that right too! And thatreminded of this:

A long time ago in Communist Rus-sia there was a famous weather mannamed Rudolf.

Dry conditions may have negativempact on nitrogen applications

Surface application of nitrogenrtilizer in late fall and earlyring is a typical practice in South

akota, however, the dry conditionsis season may be putting that ni-ogen in jeopardy, says SDSU Ex-nsion Soils Specialist, Ron Gel-rman, during a recent iGrow

adio Network interview."With the weather being so veryy, warm and windy, and if we did- get that third to a half an inchprecipitation on that urea to

ove it into the soil and protect it,lds could have experienced some

gnificant loss," Gelderman said.Typically, moisture moves the ni-ogen down into the soil profilehere it is protected from loss, bute lack of moisture may have al-wed some of the nitrogen to vola-e. Gelderman says a soil test cantermine whether the nitrogen isll there, however, he recom-

ends waiting to soil test, and to

have the lab analyze the sample forboth nitrate and ammonium.

"We can't assume that it's allgoing to be lost. We think therecould be significant amounts re-maining. Problem is that some of itmay still be in the urea form, andnot too many labs can test for urea.So, what we're suggesting is to soilsample later but still in time thatwe can fertilize these plants andstill do some good," he said.

Gelderman says winter wheat,which is at, or close to jointing, willneed a nitrogen application soon if significant loss of the applied ureaoccurred. Producers have moretime before they need to testspring- planted grains and rowcrops. Gelderman says growersmay want to use a urease inhibitorwith future surface urea applica-tions to increase the odds of gettingsome moisture.

Specialist says breed heifers

wo to four weeks before cowsEven though calving season ist yet done for most producers,s not too soon to begin planningr breeding of open heifers, sayseorge Perry, South Dakota Stateniversity associate professor andDSU Extension Beef Reproduc-n Specialist during a recentrow Radio Network interview.Perry says it's a good idea toeed heifers to calve two to foureeks ahead of the main cow herd,give the heifers' time to recoverfore cycling back for the secondeeding season."We really need to think abouttting heifers bred, before we fin-

h calving or think about breed-g our cows," Perry said.He says there are several estrusnchronization programs to helpt the heifers bred in a timelyanner. He lists the three maintrus synchronization programs

recommended for beef heifers in-cluding; simple estrus detection,estrus detection with timed AI andfixed-timed AI protocols. Perrysays producers can locate an On-line estrus planner by visitinghttp://igrow.org/livestock/beef/ andclicking on 'Links' under the Re-source Library.

Perry encourages livestockgrowers to choose a protocol thatfits their time, facilities and expe-rience.

"By using any of these protocolsyou can better manage your timein that you know you want to de-tect estrus for this three to five day

period or you're going to go out anddo a fixed-time AI on them," Perrysaid. "Synchronization really be-comes a management tool thatbenefits you in managing yourlabor also."

As luck would have it, my 50thBirthday is the day that my wonder-ful group of Red Hatters first cametogether. We have learned together,grown together, and had a great ol’time together. When one of us cameacross a good idea for a way to help

someone out a little - be it hams or afundraiser or an anonymous dona-tion - we all figured out a way tomake it happen together.Now that I was the recipient of helpfrom this fundraiser, I have had totake pause to think of what thismeans in my life. This only makesme stronger as I think of how my

journey in this sickness and recoveryhas been so full of caring and suppo-tive company in family and friendsat home, work, everywhere. Thankyou all for cards, meals, visits, flow-ers, gifts. It is truly overwhelming!In the midst of some difficult days,this experience has deepened mysense of gratitude and connection inmany ways. The thoughts. prayers,and efforts of you all has made allthe difference in the world.

Although I could not be there in per-son, I felt lucky to be a part of thatday, and to have family, friends, anda whole community of people whocame together for my sake.I don’t know what lies ahead in thisprocess, but this event and all yourprayers help me keep faith and moveforward with a sense that things aregoing to be okay.

Thank you!! God Bless you all! Mary Lee Hathaway

You can tell the temperature outside by listening to a cricket!Count the number of chirps in 15 seconds, then add 37. The sum will be the

approximation of temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The male cricket does mostof the singing by rubbing his wings together, usually to attract a female, but often

to sound an alert when danger is near.
