--by Robyn JonesWhen not feeling well for several

days, Dan Van Gorp had no ideathe struggle that his body was deal-ing with. For a few days he hadbeen dealing with a discomfort inhis chest, which he believed to bethe onset of a chest cold or earlystages of pneumonia.

But waking up on the morningof December 10, 2012, Van Gorp re-alized the discomfort was nowmore of a pain and worse than be-fore. He contacted his office and

told them he would not be in thatday and was debating whether ornot he should go to the doctor. Afterthe pain continued to increase, VanGorp drove to the Philip hospital.He visited with the receptionist,telling her of his symptoms and in-quired whether he should go to theclinic or the emergency room. Afterhearing of his discomfort, the re-ceptionist directed him to go theemergency room.

Once the doctor arrived, he or-dered an electrocardiogram, EKG,to be done.

Immediately the doctor re-turned and stated that I was hav-ing a massive heart attack, said

Van Gorp, and that he was goingto administer some medicine tohelp me relax, but instead it com-pletely knocked me out and mynext memory is waking up at theMayo Clinic on January 7, 2013.

During the days between De-cember 10 to January 7, eventhough Van Gorp has no recollec-tion of the days, he was in a battlefor his life.

Van Gorp was transferred fromPhilip to the Rapid City RegionalHospital and his family in Pella,IA, was contacted and told that hehad been admitted. His dad imme-diately left for Rapid City, driving10 hours knowing his sons condi-tion was not good and that the oddswere better for him to die ratherthan to live.

Right away he went through theprocedure to have a stent put in hisheart. The stent was unable to re-lieve the pressure in his heart anda second procedure was done andthe tandemheart system was con-nected to his heart.

A tandemheart system is a tem-porary, external, continuous flow,

centrifugal pump that is placedthrough the femoral vein. Thepump is used to stabilize criticallyill patients who require short termleft heart support that cannot beadequately achieved with otherprocedures.

Once Van Gorps heart was re-ceiving the support from thetandemheart system, he was flownto the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,MN, on December 19. Once arriv-ing at the Mayo Clinic, he under-went triple-bypass open heartsurgery.

Originally my family was toldthat the open heart surgery wassuccessful, said Van Gorp, butthey had left my chest open for twodays to watch the healing, andprior to closing it, they informedmy family that my heart was stillnot functioning properly.

So on December 27, a Left Ven-tricular Assist Device, LVAD, wassurgically placed in Van Gorpschest. It is similar to a type of me-chanical heart, where it helps theheart pump oxygen-rich bloodthroughout the body. Unlike an ar-tificial heart though, the LVADdoes not replace the heart, it justhelps it do its job, which meant thedifference between life and deathfor Van Gorp.

For days following the LVADsurgery, his family was by his sideand on January 7 it was anotheranswer to prayers when he re-gained consciousness.

During those few days when Iwas supposed to be waking up, mydad and my sister would ask me tosqueeze their hand or move my fin-gers, and I was able to respond totheir commands, said Van Gorp,but when the nurses would ask meto do the same thing, I wouldnt re-spond. So, even being in a coma, I

could recognize my family and theconnection was there.

Being so ill and in a coma, VanGorps family was faced with mak-ing some major decisions.

Making the decisions were re-ally hard on my family, since therewere major risks attached to eachof those decisions, Van Gorp said,but what helped them was all the

calls, cards, letters, and Facebookmessages of support and theprayers that we received.

Not only did the support helpmy family, but they also helped me.They read all the messages to mewhile I was in the coma and afterwaking up, I didnt remember theentire messages but I could remem-ber parts of the messages.

Not only could he remember por-tions of what his family said, healso remembered the dreams hehad.

The most vivid dream I had wasof my funeral. The dream appearedto be exactly like my uncles funeralthat I attended a few months back,expect this time I was in the cas-ket, he said, I remember being

pushed down the aisle of thechurch in the casket and I could seeeveryone was looking at me.

Another dream I had was amother cat was sitting in the cor-ner of the room and her kitten wasvery cold, and she was doing every-thing she could to keep the kittenwarm. The doctors believe that thisdream may have been related towhen they had packed my bodywith ice packs to reduce a fever, butone doesnt know for sure, said

Van Gorp, I had several dreamsthat I can remember and some ofthem make sense and others donot.

The fever was one of the healthobstacles and complications that hefaced during the time he was in thecoma. He spiked a fever of 104 andthe doctors could not determine thecause.

The doctors took every precau-tion they could and at one timethey were actually too cautious,said Van Gorp. I was connected toeleven machines at one time. Theywere doing all the work for myheart, breathing, bowels, liver, kid-neys and thats when the fevercame on. They finally started toslowly disconnect the machinesand my fever went down. My bodywas rejecting the extra help andwas sending the message that theonly organ that needed help wasmy heart, the others were healthy.

At another point Van Gorp suf-fered a minor stroke, which af-fected the visual area of the brain.

As a result, he has a blind spot inthe upper left quadrant of each eye.There is a small chance that his vi-sion may return, but the doctorswere very concerned that theremay be brain damage.

Constantly I was doing mentalchores of answering questions,

spelling my name, stating the date,and counting, said Van Gorp, butthankfully I showed no signs of anydamage.

Even though regaining con-sciousness was a milestone, the re-covery process was just beginning.

When I woke up I was sothirsty that the first words out ofmy mouth to my dad was, I want

copious amounts of water,laughed Van Gorp, my Dad knewthat if I used a word like copious Imust have some good brain func-tions.

But recovery was going to taketime and even the simple task ofswallowing was a chore. Since ithad been nearly a month since hehad swallowed, his tongue hadshriveled up and his vocal cordswere diminished, there was a con-cern with fluids going down theesophagus to the stomach and notinto the lungs.

For days I was only allowed icechips and in very small amountsand I was so thirsty, said VanGorp, but once I graduated towater, I would have to drink with

my head bent forward to make sureI was swallowing right.It also took time to gain strength

and learn how to live the LVAD.The cable for the LVAD enters

into his chest cavity right below therib cage. Beneath his heart is smallpump and tubes are connected toheart. There is a small computer-ized brain that regulates the inter-nal pump and the brain is poweredby two batteries. The batteries giveapproximately ten to twelve hoursof life and are carried in vest. Atnight the chest cable is connectedto a larger machine at his houseand plugged into a wall outlet.

I dont even notice carrying theextra hardware around anymore,its been a very easy adjustment.he said, and if I didnt have the

power supply, my heart stops.The pump produces 10,000 rev-

olutions a minute to circulate theblood at a steady stream. Since theblood flows at a constant ratethrough his system, he no longerhas a blood pressure or a pulse.Listening to his heart with astethoscope, the beating sound isnow replaced by a the soft purr of amotor.

I do get tired a lot easier now,he said, a normal heart will in-crease its rate to match the

amount of activity being done, butmine continues at the same rate nomatter if Im walking or sitting. So,Ive had to adjust my pace some.

Other lifestyle changes havebeen minimal. The main change in-cludes putting the brain and bat-teries in a waterproof bag toshower. He can longer be in anybody of water including a tub ofwater, hot tub, or swimming. Hisdiet consists of high fiber and lowsodium, and no alcohol or tobacco.

Along with that, he also takes 20pills everyday.

Even though the LVAD is doingthe work for his heart, he is able tomaintain a routine schedule, thelife expectancy of living with anLVAD is only 10 years.

There is a three percent chancethat my heart will heal itself, soeven though its small, theres al-ways that hope, he said, since the

time I became sick the doctors toldme that there were three times Ishould have died, so Ive used up afew miracles already.

Every three months Van Gorpreturns to Mayo Clinic for tests andto monitor his heart. After a certainamount of criteria is met, he canbecome eligible for a heart trans-plant.

Just turning 35, the doctors arenot sure what caused me to haveheart problems, he said, They be-lieve that most of it would have tobe genetics, although there is noheart disease in my fathers family,my mother was adopted, and wehave no knowledge of any of herfamilys health history so, we maynever be certain. But realistically,I did myself no favors by smokingor drinking.

The goal of being dischargedfrom the hospital was met on Jan-

uary 29. After spending a monthwith his family in Iowa, he re-turned home to Kadoka on March2.

The type of heart attack I hadis often referred to as the widowmaker because people do no usu-ally survive this type of heart at-tack, he said, but it was anamazing feeling to finally be home,sleep in my own bed, reconnectwith my friends, see my dog, andget back to work.

If it wasnt for the grace of Godand the skillful doctors, I know Iwould not be here today, and eventhough each day brings more chal-lenges than before, I feel like everyday is gift, and that Im thankfulfor, he concluded with a smile.

ever taught was second grade.The different grades have kept

me young, shared Sandy. Whenyou have combination classrooms,you have to be prepared and teach

ALL the grades. You have to be onat all times while the students arein the classroom.

You have to come up with newideas every year because you havethose students two years at a time,and they will remind you if they

have already done an activity,smiled Sandy.Sandy, went on to say, The

classroom needs to be a positiveplace no matter what else is goingon in your life. When you walk intothat classroom, you leave behindwhatever is going on in your life. Asa teacher, you need to be there foryour students.

That kind of dedication could beseen anytime you walked into herclassroom. Sandy was either at thetable teaching a grade, in front ofthe entire class instructing, orpreparing for the next lesson.

When I asked Sandy what kepther going every day, she smiled andsaid, I loved going every morningand seeing those faces. I loved my

job. I never tired of going to myjob.

Sandy greeted her students atthe door every morning when theywalked up the stairs, and she wasthere at the end of the day to saygoodbye.

She talked about a student whogave her a hug when the studententered the room, when the stu-dent came back from lunch andwhen the student left every day.That touches ones heart, sharedSandy.

Reading has always been an im-

portant part of her classroom. Notjust reading during class, but read-ing for enjoyment. The back shelfalong half the wall were tubs ofevery kind of book in Sandys class-room. Along with all these bookswere two chairs and a bunch of pil-lows. When the students were donewith their work or during freereading time, they could use thechairs or pillows to relax on and

just read.This emphasis on reading cre-

ated a love for reading in many ofher students. In fact, during thepast few years, some of Sandysstudents have been credited andawarded with some outstandingacheivements. These acheivementsbeing reading a million or morewords in a year.

Sandy shared a story of a stu-dent who had struggled with read-ing, and one day, it finally justclicked. The student began toread all the time. One day, whenshe had dismissed the class for re-cess, she looked over and found thestudent still engrossed in the book.

He hadnt even heard me tellthe class it was time for recess,commented Sandy. Those are themoments that made teaching so re-warding.

Sandy talked about the changes

in education over the past 38 years.She feels there is more emphasison testing now than in the begin-ning of her career. Teacher account-ability is better in todayseducation. Although, with the tech-nology being such a large part of

teaching, she felt there is a lotmore responsibility placed on theteachers now.

Today, more of a teachers timeis spent working on things such aswebsites and other requirementsand less time with the students,said Sandy. Im there to teach.

Todays schools have more re-sponsibility than they used to.Schools have to feed them not onlylunch but breakfast and some

snacks. She believes thats a goodthing. The schools today, though,have more social problems to dealwith than in the past.

I asked Sandy if she thoughtthere were benefits to teaching in arural school, and if teaching at In-terior had some advantages aswell. Oh, definitely, she replied.Here at Interior School, we havealways felt more like a family. Theparents here as a general rule careabout what is happening with theirchildren.

She went on to praise all thatthe booster club does for the stu-dents at the school, and the oppor-tunities they provide for thestudents at Interior from the schoolcarnival, to playground equipment,to the field trips they pay for.

One opportunity Sandy believesis the Interior students benefitfrom is the ongoing partnershipwith Badlands National Park. Thishas brought many excellent experi-ences for those students.

On May 2, Interior held theirspring concert. What Sandy did notknow was the entire school, alongwith the community and and herfamily, planned a surprise retire-ment celebration for her.

--by Rhonda AntonsenAfter 33 years, a legacy of

teaching has come to a close at theInterior School. On May 16, SandyShortbull dismissed her class onelast time. As the halls grew quietone can only imagine what thatfeeling was as Sandy looked backat 38 years of teaching with 33consecutive years with the InteriorSchool.

I had the opportunity to sitdown and visit with Sandy abouther years at Interior and the Inte-rior School.

Before coming to Interior,Sandy worked for one year atMcLaughlin and four years atRosebud. In the fall of 1979, Sandybegan teaching fifth and sixthgrade at Interior. At that time, shewas known as Miss Pettigrew toher class. She later married LesShortbull and had two sons, Caseyand Jesse.

Her first classroom was locatedin the big room upstairs before itwas remodeled and turned intomore classrooms. One of the mem-ories she shared of that first yearwas of her students decorating theshades over the windows. Sandysaid, The school promised theywould get me new shades. So, Ithought why not let the kids deco-

rate them. So, her students di-vided up into groups and did justthat.

Over the 33 years Sandy spentat the Interior School, she had allmulti-grade classrooms, except forone year. The youngest grade she

Read Job 5:7-11Why is this happening to me? When we are bewil-

dered by life, we cry out to anyone who will listen, Whatis the point of trials? Our thoughts become confused, our

emotions chaotic, and our steps slowed. Scripture answers these questions. In response to Why, it tells usthat we live in a fallen world filled with sinful people, that even the redeemed struggle with sin, and thatSatanthe ruler of this worldhas great influence here. No wonder why trials happen!

But there is something else that we are wise to considernamely, what is Gods purpose in our adversity?It could be that He desires to get our attention because we have ignored His other signals. Or it could be tokeep our attention on Him. When the Israelites lived in the desert, it must have seemed a great trial to haveno food left at the end of each day. But God knew that if He provided more than one days supply at a time,the people would stop looking to Him. This trial kept their attention on their Provider.

Adversity can also be a tool to remind us of Gods great love for us. We can become so used to His lovethat we dont appreciate it until we hit a bump. Whats more, hardships can help us to know the Lord in adeeper way. To experience Him as our comfort requires that there be a need for comfort. Or perhaps Hewants to lead us into self-examination. We tend to ignore our wanderings from Gods ways. When halted byan obstacle, we have time to discover the wrong turns weve made.

Whatever the reason for your trial, know that God has purpose in adversity and that He has allowed itfor your good (Rom. 8:28).

Dear Editor,THAT SHOULD SAY SOME-

THING...In 1992 the United Nations con-

vened in Brazil advocated the abo-lition of property rights as a part of

Agenda 21. This socialistic schemewas to be accomplished by the 21stcentury.

We can still own property. How-ever, the EPA working underaliases such as enhancement dis-tricts is working to make local con-

trol a thing of the past withpromises of grants and assistancein the writing of same. Once com-prehensive planning is in placethose grants may be matching, ifavailable. Now we have a paneldrawing up zoning plans. Laterthere will be fees, permits andother demands on property owners.The abolition of property rightsprotected by the 5th Amendment isbeing compromised with regula-tions aimed at eventually makingproperty ownership unaffordable.

Our small town had experiencewith matching grants due thetremendous effort locals to match agrant for a sprinkler system at ourlicensed rest home. A street projectearlier would have cost about asmuch for engineering as for mate-rials and labor. Only the graciousgift of labor by a retired residentengineer saved the city those costs.In spite of such examples our coun-cil voted for a comprehensive plan.

The only businessman on thecouncil voted against the compre-hensive plan. That should saysomething.

Gardening is an iffy propositionhere in western South Dakota. Wenever have quite enough rain sowatering, except in highly unusualyears, is required. We also havestrong winds, hail, plagues ofgrasshoppers, hot temperatures,and various wild critters that likevegetables. If you do insist on gar-dening and actually raise some-thing, you have overcome the oddsand can be proud of yourself.

Like many of you, I rather liketo play in the dirt and have donequite a bit of it over the years. Istarted out helping my mom andgrandmother who were the maingardeners when I was young.Grandma was very good at it, andMom was okay although I dontthink she enjoyed it much. I helpedwith some of the weeding and thepicking of such things as peas,beans and cucumbers. After awhile, I became the main gardenerin the family except for corn andpotatoes which were Dads fa-vorites. My main problem at firstwas getting carried away andplanting such a huge garden thatI couldnt properly tend it all.Sometimes it also produced morestuff than we needed or could

freeze, can, or give away. Whenthose nifty seed catalogs come inthe dead of winter, it looks so easy,and you decide youd like to trythis, and that and some of those.The first rule of gardening, then, isto avoid getting carried away. Onlyplant what you have the time andenergy to tend and not more thanyou can reasonably use. I came tothat conclusion the hard way andonly through experience.

When it comes to watering, I didcome up with a system thatworked pretty well for me. I woulddrag out the old two-row corn listerand hitch it to the little Ford trac-tor. I made deep lister rows goingslightly downhill, and planted inthe bottom of the rows. Then Icould run water down the rows in-stead of sprinkling the whole gar-den. This worked best if I usedsome mulch as well to keep the

water from evaporating right awayin the hot days of July. My mainproblem here was my father whohad learned in planting field cornin the early years that corn shouldbe hilled up. If he got in the gar-den, he tended to not only fill inmy lister rows but hill them up aswell. This made watering ex-tremely difficult because waterruns off hills and doesnt do theplants there much good. As a re-sult, I encouraged Dad to raise hiscorn and potatoes in a different

place than I gardened so he would-nt start hilling all my stuff.

Then, after experimenting witheverything from huckleberries tokohlrabies, it finally occurred tome that what I most needed togrow were those things that tastemuch better home raised than pur-chased. Tomatoes and cucumbers,as you probably know, are ever somuch better home raised. Melonsmay fit in that category too, but Idont hunger for those as much asI do for tomatoes and cucumbers.On the other hand, my taste budsare not sufficiently sophisticated totell much difference betweenonions and potatoes raised or pur-chased. There is one exception tothat in those little early potatoesyou scratch around and pull outbefore theyre completely mature.Those are tasty.

One other rule I started to fol-low was to plant nothing that wasa complete bug magnet. This espe-cially applies to potatoes and anymember of the cabbage family. Daddidnt seem to mind strolling downa row of spuds, picking off the po-tato bugs, and throwing them in acoffee can he carried that had a lit-tle gas in the bottom. I didnt have

quite enough patience for that.Cabbage worms are harder to pickoff so insecticide is the usual re-course there. I dont like insecti-cides so my cabbage, broccoli,cauliflower and the like come tome by way of the grocery store.They probably have to use insecti-cide to grow them too, but I justwash them really well when I getthem.

Well, as often has happened tome in my life, once Ive experi-mented with something to theenth degree and worn myself outwith it, I somewhat lose interestand go on to other things. Thatssort of the way it is for me withgardening. As a result, my effortsthis year only involve two pottedtomato plants and a few pots of cu-cumbers. They say gardening isgood for the soul, so I hope thosefew plants will sufficiently nourish

that part of me. If not, I can alwaysexpand next year. Even then, how-ever, I probably wont get carriedaway. I think in this case Im bet-ter off following another favoriterule of mine which is, Keep it sim-ple, Stupid. Not a bad idea whenit comes to gardening in good oldSouth Dakota where the odds aresomewhat stacked against us anddisaster can be just around the cor-ner. Yet we still keep right on try-ing. Why is that?
