Letter to the EditorDear Editor,

According to the article in thenewspaper the Perkins CountyCommission is proposing to write,no, to have the Black Hills Councilof Local Governments write, a

Comprehensive Plan for PerkinsCounty at tax payer expense.There is no mention of the factthat a local group, Western PlainsAction Group, a chapter of DakotaRural Action, had submitted a pro-posed plan to the Commission andthe BH Council as long ago as Oc-

tober 4, 2012 at no cost to the taxpayer.

It is disturbing that the Com-mission can dismiss this documentout of hand and seem to act asthough the Comprehensive Plan is

a new idea for Perkins County andthey must write one from scratch.It is also disturbing that a SpecialMeeting of the Commission hasbeen set for April 2, 2013 at 11:00a.m. to discuss the writing of aPlan with Mr. Emerson of theBlack Hills Council of Local Gov-ernments.

WPAG spent over two years re-searching, writing and rewritingthe Plan that was submitted to theCommission in October 2012. ThePlan was patterned after currentplans that are in effect in areas ofwestern South Dakota. I person-ally spoke with Blaise Emerson atthe public meeting held by theCounty Commission in Septemberof 2012. I told him we had a pro-

posed plan almost ready to go butit still needed a few minor revi-sions after which we would submita copy to him (submitted on Oct. 4,2012). Mr. Emerson commented tome that evening that he wouldwelcome a document that hadbeen developed in the local com-munity and it made no sense toreinvent the wheel.

Some of us that worked on thePlan that has been submitted

Easy GardenJournal

News Flash! My Okra articleprompted some comments fromreaders, thank you for calling!Seems the horticulture pros dontalways know what works in thecountry. Some gardeners indi-cated they have had great successgrowing Okra locally. ApparentlyZone 4 isnt a no-no for thissouthern veggie. Just put the seedin the ground during late May toearly June and watch it grow, thenenjoy the blooms, pick eat, fry, orpickle!

A lot of garden writers always

are encouraging us to keep a gar-den journal. Have any of you everactually done that? We havethought about it often, attemptedit one time and it always falls bythe way. It is a good idea to keepnotes about your gardening ef-forts, what works, what does notwork, what you like and what youhate. But it is still a chore for

most of us.Here is a tip that may work foryou. Get a large oversize spiralbound calendar with big dailysquares, plenty of room for briefnotes on a daily basis. At the endof the year you have a completerecord of your gardening yearwithout tedious journaling.

You can easily record in the datespace:The date you sowed which seedsWhen the seeds germinatedWhen you set the plants out /orpotted themWeather events such asamount of rainfall, hail, frost, etc.When and what you used for pestcontrolHow long and successful was the

y Richard P. Holm MDSeveral weeks ago I had thenor of helping a close friend ofine, who sometimes requires aheelchair, to tour around a his-ric town viewing the wonderfules, and enjoying museums of artd of history. It was an enlight-ing experience for me. Prior tois, I had been only vaguely

ware of how public bathroomsd changed to make one stallder, and how curbs had been cutwn, which I had noticed made iteasier for kids on tricycles.Pushing him around in a wheel-air, I noted every curb with andthout a disability entrance. I no-ed every building with steps andelevator. I noticed every home

at had no way for a wheelchairund person to easily enter. Tooten the doors were very narrow,e hallways un-maneuverable,e sidewalks too cracked ormpy. More than once we were

opped dead in our tracks as the

wheels caught in crack or rut,which would just about thrust myfriend out of the wheelchair, andonto the ground. Up to this time Itruly hadnt recognized the extentthat we, as a society, discriminateagainst people with mobility prob-lems.

Before this, I was dimly awareof the Americans With DisabilitiesAct, and I remember how businesspeople complained, as they feltburdened with this law. Now Imore fully realize its value. Thelaw expects public places to makeservices accessible to those whoare disabled by mobility, hearing,sight, or whatever and requires itif federal money is involved.

Think about it, you and I arejust one small accident away fromparalysis, or a viral infection awayfrom deafness, or a blood sugaraway from being blind. Able or dis-abled, we need to make our worldmore accessible.

et in the darkness.The spirit of the west comes alivea unique new book, Montana Stir-ps, Sage and Shenanigans:West-n Ranch Life in a Forgotten Era,stories of working cattle, horses,ldlife and western humor. In this

d west epic with a modern touch,

ters Francie Brink Berg, Anneink Krickel and Jeanie Brinkiessen write of ranch life throughegacy of pioneer values and tradi-ns.In many ways it is the story ofung ranching families all acrosse west during a time that de-anded resourcefulness, hard workd courage. Dozens of events takee reader from hard times of thepression, to fighting World War IIthe home front, to embracing

st-war recovery. Difficult times,t a remarkable sense of humorevailed and there was time foranks, jokes and the fun of creatingem.

But it is the personal stories thatmake this modern western classic a

delight to readers-stunning tales oftrailing cattle in a blizzard, brand-ing, overcoming emergencies of acci-dent and fire, anxiously watching asNazi POWs work the fields.

Montana Stirrups, Sage andShenanigans is a social history aswell, of the uncommon people of thewest who practiced tolerance and re-spect, extended warm hospitality tostrangers and knew the close ties offamily and community. The authors'own mother came west by coveredwagon and their father ran wildhorses out of the Missouri RiverBreaks, both before 1910.

This book speaks to readers of allages who enjoy the west: from youngpeople who envision themselves inthe engaging scenarios to old-timerswho were there and want to share

with friends and families. This is atruly enjoyable book that is equallyat home on the coffee table and inthe library. It's filled with lively sto-ries and attractively laid out withdozens of black-and-white imagesand over 260 historic photographsfrom the Brink family collection.Ideal for a gift book.

The new 408-page volume is pub-lished by Flying Diamond Books,which produced books on the threeother northern plains states: NorthDakota Land of Changing Seasonsand South Dakota Land of ShiningGold, both written by Francie M.Berg, and Wyoming Land of EchoingCanyons, by Beverley Elaine Brink.

John 14:29 - Jesus said, "Because I live, you also willlive."

This week we bring to mind the gospel, the "good news" ofJesus Christ in our celebration of the death, burial, and

resurrection of the Lord. The apostle Paul gives us adescription of the good news in I Corinithians 15:3-6 - "Forwhat I received (the gospel), I passed on to you as of firstimportance: that Christ died for our sins according to theScriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the

third day according to the Scriptures, and that Heappeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that, He

appeared to more than five hundred..." This truly is goodnews! Jesus is alive! His resurrection is all about new life

for you and me! According to the Bible we, too, canexperience new life in Jesus Christ! He told us that Hecame to give us new life full and free! Are you tired of

your "old" life? You can have new life in Christ becauseit is as easy as ABC:

A. Acknowledge that you are indeed a sinner(your old life) - Romans 3:23

B. Believe that Christ died and rose from the dead(the good news) to give you new life - Romans 6:4

C. Call on the name of the Lord and you will besaved (given new life) - Romans 10:9

II Corinthians 5:17 - "If anyone is in Christ, he is a newcreation. The old has gone, the new has come!

THANK GOD FOR THE GOOD NEWSFOUND IN JESUS CHRIST!

for me in school but this time ofyear gets me all warm and fuzzythinking about Punnett squares.

For a few months time whenbaby calves show up daily, I dontget off the place much except to getgas, groceries, or milk, (we have aseparate budget for milk, and yesthere is talk in our household of in-vesting in a milk cow to feed oursons gallon+ a day milk-consum-ing habit). Im not exposed to theworld outside of our calving pas-ture and barn very often this time

of year, so it doesnt take much toentertain me. I get excited overseeing what every baby calf lookslike especially when it has differ-ent coloring than its mother. Find-ing out what dominant traits showup in a calf is kind of like openinga Christmas present I asked for. Iknow what were getting but thedetails of each calf are a surprise.

Some mornings I sense that myhusband thinks Im weird in addi-tion to irritated when he finds mein the barn taking pictures of anew baldy or brockle-faced calfwhen Im supposed to be movingthe new pair to where hes waitingfor me by the gate. Hell walk inthe barn and scold me, You can doyour texting later; bring that pair

out here! Although hell say,Send me that one! (to his phone)of livestock pictures or videos helikes that I took with my iphone.

The outcome of every calf is atelltale sign of which bulls courtedwhich cow, and sometimes the calftells us which breed of bull metour girls that werent one of ourbulls. Im especially fond of bald-

Nutrition labels can be confus-ing for anyone, even the mosthealth conscious individual, ex-plains Megan Sexton, SDSU Ex-tension Nutrition Field Specialist.

"The nutrition label that isfound on all food items is regu-lated by the Food and Drug Ad-

ministration to ensure all informa-tion about a food product is dis-closed," Sexton said. "Even thoughthese labels are rich with informa-tion it does take some educationbefore you are comfortable enoughto navigate them."

When reviewing a nutritionlabel, these are the items Sextonsays an individual needs to pay at-tention to.

Serving Size - Often productshave multiple servings in onepackage, for example a largesports drink (32 oz.) contains four,

8 ounce servings."This means that drinking theentire bottle would quadruple thenumbers on the nutrition label. Itis important to notice the servingsizes and how much you are con-suming at one time. We often con-

According to the calendar,ring arrived this Wednesday.d anybody notice? When Iecked our thermometer at 5:00ednesday morning, it registeredur degrees below zero, but springcked in a little later that day be-use the temp shot up to 44 de-

ees by mid afternoon. That wase warmest temperature for thehole week and most days itayed below freezing with a coldnd. Sure makes for miserablelving weather. The guys haveen bringing the cows that areout to calve into the lot at night,t were still going to have a fewlves with really short ears.The bucks got out for a coupleurs last fall so well start lamb-g a lot earlier than we planned.hey bagged the ewes last weekd found about 50 that should

art to pop Monday or Tuesday, soe lambing shed will be fulloner than expected. Ah, spring!

We almost lost our last twoickens to a big old coon Thurs-y morning. Reub went outside toeck the cows in the dark about00 that morning and heard theoster squawking. He headed to-ard the noise just in time to see

the coon dive under the woodpile.Reub grabbed the rifle and tookafter the coon in the dark on theKobuta. It was hard to see and thecoon headed under the fence andgot away. Reub thought bothchickens were dead, but the nextday the hen showed up in the

yard. That night when I went tolock her in the chicken coop, therewas the rooster. Hes limping badand dragging one wing, but heseems to get a little better everyday. The hen even started to lay anegg a day for us since they were at-tacked. She must have really ap-preciated Reub coming to theirrescue!

I havent been enjoying the out-doors much this week. Ive got theworst cold Ive ever had in my lifeand I havent even dared go toDickinson to meet our new grand-baby till I get over this. I missedthe quarterly board meeting at theHigh Plains Western Heritage

Center in Spearfish on Tuesdayand church on Wednesday, buthopefully Im over the worst ofwhatever ails me.

Im writing this early becauseIm hoping to get healed upenough to make it to Pierre for

Veto Day on Monday. The gover-nor vetoed one bill and did a lineitem veto on two others that wewill have to deal with. I got electedto the Executive Board and all themembers will meet Monday morn-ing at 8:00 central time to elect of-ficers, so Ill have to drive down on

Sunday.Chuck Spangler gave us a scare

Wednesday. He wasnt feeling goodso he went to the clinic in Bison.They thought he had pneumoniaand sent a prescription withChuck for the pharmacy in Het-tinger. Chuck went to Hettinger toget his medication and headedhome later that day. He wasnt toofar south of Hettinger when hebegan having really bad chestpain. He called his wife and shetold him to turn around and headback to the hospital where the doc-tors discovered he was having aheart attack. Thursday morninghe was airlifted to Bismarck

where he had a stint put in. Hissister, Lois Eggebo, said hes doingpretty well now and the surgeonwas going to release him by Sun-day. Please keep Chuck in yourprayers.

I got a nice letter from Marie

Spoering this week letting meknow that she had a great grand-son born on March 1st, which justhappened to be her 85th birthday!Little Brady William was born toher grand daughter Mandy(Sander) and Wade Ericcson inGillette, Wyoming.

Tom and Briana Fabris alsohave a new baby. Little PepperKatherine was born March 21st inWhitewood, weighing 6 lb. 7oz.and 19 inches long. And if shelooks anything like her picture onFacebook, she is a little cutie pie!

Getting to report on the new ba-bies in the neighborhood is waymore fun than writing about fu-nerals, but we lost an old friendand neighbor this week. Ilma(Hanna) Gabriel was 90 when shepassed away last Sunday. Ilmawas a horse woman, a talentedquilter, and a very caring littlelady that leaves a big hole in thefabric of our community.

Immanuel Lutheran Church atZeona was packed full of friendsand neighbors when we gatheredto bid goodbye to Ilma on Friday.Former SD Sec. of AgricultureLarry Gabriel is Ilmas brother-in-law and we had a short visit over
