Haakon County Conservation District awards
The Haakon County Conservation District’s 2014 fall awards
and banquet was Wednesday,
Dec. 10, at the Bad River Senior
Citizen’s Center in Philip.
The Conservation Board of Supervisors includes T.J. Gabriel
chairman, Peggy Parsons – vice
chairman, Pat Guptill – treasurer,
and Marvin Coleman and Tom
Parquet – supervisors. Shelia
Trask is the district manager. The
local Natural Resources Conservation Service staff are Nina Pekron,
Lori Quinn, Mike O’Dea and Kiley
Whited.
In an informational presentation, Whited, rangeland management specialist, stated that all the
South Dakota conservation districts have created a history book
of that district. The original formation of the S.D. districts was in
1937. The Haakon County Conservation District began as the center
of the Haakon County, then expanded over time to now include
over one million acres. The district’s monthly newsletter, the
Conservation Courier, includes
updates on the HCCD, NRCS,
Farm Service Administration,
Badlands Youth Range Day and
other items.
The conservation district isn’t
just tree planting, said Whited. He
said it has a working agreement
with the NRCS. It also works with
grants and grant applications.
The districts are “all about locallyled conservation,” said Whited. He
added that a lot of conservation
practices treat the same concerns.
Trask added that landowners
and others should take care of conservation, especially before any
kind of drought arrives. She said
that conservation is not only a
rural concern, but an urban one as
well.
Four conservation awards were
presented. Each award winner received a canvass production of a
scene that depicts something
unique about the winner’s prop-

Shelterbelt Award
Bill and Penny Stahl
Paul Stahl purchased the farm
by Ottumwa in 1941. He began
farming and ran sheep. He eventually added cattle as he enlarged
the operation. In 1943 Paul married Dorothy Konst. They had two
children, Bill and Jeanne, and
now three grandchildren and
three great-grandchildren.
In the 1950s, Paul and Dorothy
started planting some shelterbelts. Bill and Penny moved to the
farm in 2005. They started by
planting some cotoneaster, cottonwood, apple trees and raspberry
bushes. These trees are thriving
today. The shelterbelt renovation
projects began in 2007 when Bill
and Penny, with the help of
grandson Treavor, began to start
clearing the shelterbelts that had
died out. They worked on this over
the weekends, as they were both

It started out quaintly, but rather basic. Now the miniature Christmas village on display in the State Farm
office area of the Senechal Apartments has grown to be a sprawling winter landscape. More and more people,
including residents, have loaned miniature buildings and figurines. The lighted village includes houses,
churches, businesses, covered bridges, stone roads, a river, ice-skating rink and more.

sponsored by Midwest Co-op.
still working away from the farm
full time. In 2012, Bill hired Jim
Petoske to remove the large tree
stumps that he could not get out
with his 656 International tractor.
In May of 2012, Arthur McIlravy
tilled the cleared area west of the
house, and Scott Brech and Bill
planted the 1,400 trees. McIlravy
Mesh laid the fabric and the project was going forward. But with
this being during the drought, Bill
would spend his weekends watering trees. In 2013, they began the
same clearing process on the
north patch, but did have some viable trees left that were pruned
and the area cleaned up. In the
spring of 2014, the same crews returned to till, plant and mesh
more trees.
Natural Resource Award
Jason and Vonda Hamill
Jason Hamill was born in Philip
to Patti and Earl Hamill. He was
raised in Milesville until 1972,
when his dad died in a small plane
crash near Eagle Butte. His
mother relocated to Spearfish, but
Jason continued to spend his summers with his grandparents,
Leona and Russ Hamill on the
original Hamill homestead, settled by Aaron Hamill. Jason continues to farm the Hamill homestead, as well as a few other tracts
of cropland in Milesville. Jason
and Vonda Hamill came to
Haakon County full time in 1991,
after attending Montana State
University in Bozeman, Mont.,
where Jason was an animal science/range management major
and Vonda earned an elementary
education degree. They made
their home on the former Harrold
Herreide place in northern
Haakon County and began a
cow/calf operation along with
farming both at that location and
at Milesville. They raise wheat,
corn, sunflowers and millet using
minimal tillage practices. They
run a black angus and hereford
based cattle herd. Jason and
Vonda have two sons, Nick, 18,
and Carson, 14.
Jason’s love of wildlife prompted
him to start spading trees in by
hand along many of the draws on
his property 25 years ago, which
led him to investigate the opportunities offered by the Conservation Reserve Program tree
programs. The results of which
have allowed them to plant approximately 35 acres of trees
mostly along draws that were normally too wet for farming. Use of
the tree mesh allowed the survival
of trees where they would have
normally been choked out by natural undergrowth, and eliminates
the usually necessary tilling between the rows. The benefit to the
wildlife has been substantial and
a source of true enjoyment for the
family.
Green Yard Award
Dick and Gene Hudson
Gene Hudson has lived on the
Hudson Ranch for 50 years and
started gardening as a child. Dick
is the first one to give all the credit
to Gene for the yard/garden work.
He has been seen on a lawn

mower in recent years but still credits
Gene for the fantastic flower beds and
plants she grows. As a child Gene grew up
north of Midland and always loved flowers
and gardening. After marrying Dick she
was able to expand on her own. She started
with peonies from her mother’s yard and to
this day has rows of peonies that have been
divided and multiplied many times over.
Most of her flower beds and yard plants are
perennials. The only annuals she plants
are in pots by the house. She tries to plant
the beds with a large variety of plants so
they are blooming throughout the summer.
Gene is no small time gardener – three
years ago she planted 300 new tulips. The
newest plants she is growing are an exotic
irises started at South Dakota State University. She now gets some help from the
grandchildren especially on the planting
part – the weeding is a little tougher to get
help on! Gene is famous for giving away
plants and helping others get a start on
their flowerbeds and even house plants!
They have planted numerous fruit bearing
trees (such as apple, pear, peaches) and
she gives away much of the produce from
the trees and garden.
Country Praises|by Del Bartels
Christmas wink
While waiting for his mother at
the grocery store, the boy noticed
the old man. He had tried to come
in the exit, thus slowing a hurried
woman from leaving as fast as she
wanted. The boy saw through the
window a car turn the corner,
going a bit too fast on the ice, and
do a 180 degree spin before stopping. How close had the woman
been to being hit?
Another lady, wearing a ragged
coat, was at the checkout, desperately searching her purse for more
cash to pay for her food. The old
man pointed with his cane, and
asked if that was hers. She look
down to see a $20 bill on the floor.
The boy was known for being observant, but he hadn’t seen that
money fall.
A burly guy almost jumped
when the old man loudly sneezed.
An odd look came over the big
guys face, he pulled out his cell
phone and asked someone on the
other end if their mother wasn’t
allergic to different things. After
putting the phone away, the big
guy started putting half of the
stuff in his cart back and started
getting different stuff.
Keeping his distance, the boy
started wondering after the man.
It was a small store in a small
town, and he wasn’t a kid any
more. A toddler had climbed up
and was standing in the seat of a
grocery cart. It over-reached toward a shelf. A aged hand
whipped out and grabbed the back
of the pants of the toddler just as
it was tumbling. The old man
pulled the kid back upright and
seated him, all before its mother
could turn and notice.
Wow, a guy in a red jacket had
loaded a cart with meat and ice
cream. Must be some kind of
party. The old man told the guy
not to worry, he would put the
items back for him. Before being
able to ask what in the world the
old man was talking about, a fire
alarm sounded. The guy looked
shocked, mumbled a thanks and
raced out the door.
The old man turned to look
right at the boy. He tipped his
head sideways, and from the store
office, a phone began ringing. A
woman came out of the room and
told the person behind the checkout they could go home. Someone
had driven all night and arrived
for Christmas a day early. The
clerk was ecstatic, bubbled a
thanks, and quickly left.
The boy’s mother called for him.
She said she would be just a bit
longer and he shouldn’t bother the
kind, old man. The guy overheard,
and volunteered that the boy wasn’t bothering him. Matter of fact,
he missed his own grandchildren.
By the way, don’t forget to replenish the counter medications used
during the family’s last bout with
the flu.
His mother was too busy with
Christmas chores to even wonder
about the advice. She simply
agreed that she had forgotten to
write those on her list, told the boy
to wait near the checkout, and
headed off for medicines.
Later, the old man walked by
the boy. In a quiet voice, the old
man asked if the boy thought he
and others like him were only in
books and TV shows. The boy’s
Christmas present was being let
in on that certain things do happen all year long, but are more noticed and seen as miracles, at
Christmas. He gave a ho-ho of a
laugh, winked, and strolled away.
tremely complicated. The human
body is an amazing thing in and of
itself with dozens of things going
on in it all at the same time. Let
one little enzyme go wrong, and
you have trouble. It seems beyond
the realm of possibility that this
marvel of engineering just happened without a creator directing
it and making it happen. Even a
tree is a wonder in many ways.
Still, these things are not positive
proof scientifically that God exists. We may be pretty sure he
does, but we have to take it more
by faith than by sight.
Historically, too, there can be
little doubt that Jesus actually
lived since there are many written
accounts of his existence. Sensibly, too, there isn’t much doubt
that he came to die in our place in
order to reconcile us to God. That
is because his coming was repeatedly forecast hundreds of years
previously by many of the
prophets of the Old Testament. In
fact, the whole Old Testament is a
foreshadowing of what was to
come. Again, it is most unlikely
that these prophesies just happened accidentally and over hundreds of years by many different
people and then all came true in
Christ.
Most of all, though, we become
the most strongly convinced of
Christ’s presence when we ask
him into our lives and see how he
guides, directs and protects us.
His love surrounds us and makes
us glad. Personally, I suspect I
would be a total basket case by
now if I didn’t have God in my life.
He not only takes care of me and
loves me, but he gives me hope for
the future including an eternity
with him.
That’s what Christmas is all
about – the great love of God that
made him send his son to earth as
a tiny human. This son would
then grow up, do amazing things,
and finally die a painful death on
a cross to reconcile us to God. It
was an incredible sacrifice on our
behalf and one for which I am extremely thankful.
But, as we said, faith is not a
constant. Even the Apostle Peter
had lapses such as when he saw
Jesus walking towards their boat
on the water. Peter at first had
enough faith to step out of the
boat and walk on the water towards Jesus, but then he thought,
“What on earth am I doing? I can’t
walk on water.” As a result, his
faith wavered and he started to
sink. When Christ held out his
hand, though, Peter had enough
sense to grab it and hold on. Once
again he could walk on water.
May you during this Christmas
season find enough faith to take
hold of God’s hand, walk close to
him, and experience his great
love. There are three things that
endure – faith, hope, and love,
and the greatest of these is love.
Lookin’ Around|Syd Iwan
Faith, Hope and Love
How’s your supply of faith,
hope, and love? Do you have lots
of all three or are they sometimes
a bit scarce? If you’re like me, the
quantity of each may vary from
day to day. If things are going
well, work is getting done, and
people are being reasonable, you
might have a lot of faith and hope
for the future and love for your fellow man. The same may not apply
if you have a pain in your neck,
your friends are all being grouchy,
and the dog has just died.
So what exactly is faith? One
definition would be that it is the
confident assurance that what we
hope for is going to happen. Kids,
at this time of year, have quite a
bit of faith that Christmas is really going to come, complete with
presents under the tree, lots of
sweets to munch on, and everyone
having quite a good time. This is
bolstered by such things as decorated trees and houses and songs
on the radio. That special day isn’t
quite here yet, but it most surely
is going to eventually arrive. The
evidence is all around us.
What may be a little trickier,
however, is faith in the Christ
child that Christmas is all about.
There is evidence of his presence,
to be sure, but it is not as concrete
as we might like. Creation provides some indicators, for example, by all living things on earth
being interrelated and some ex-

Lloyd and Marianne Frein
Moving to the ranch in 1984, Lloyd is the
third generation to be on his grandparents’
homestead, 18 miles northwest of Philip.
Lloyd was married to Naomi Nascher, who
passed away in 1990.
Marianne Fitch was married to Tom Moriarty in 1974 and they owned and operated a ranch 15 miles northwest of Philip.
Tom passed away in 1991.
In 1993, Lloyd and Marianne were married and combined their two places where
they have raised seven children and await
the birth of grandbaby number 10. They
have a cow/calf/yearling operation. Lloyd
and Marianne have planted thousands of
trees, restored dams and dugouts, crossfenced and put in miles of pipelines on
their place. Most of their land is divided
into 160 acre pastures and they rotate
their cattle every seven days. Participating in the Conservation Reserve Program
for some 30 years and the Conservation
Stewardship Program for the last five
years, Marianne and Lloyd believe in being
good stewards of the land, which they hope
to pass on to future generations.
Modern Woodmen donates
to Kadoka Nursing Home
Modern Woodmen of America
members recently helped raise
money for the Kadoka Nursing
Home by assisting the Kadoka
Nursing Home Auxiliary with hosting a luncheon and a craft fair.
The event was held Sunday,
Nov. 2, and raised $5,783, which
included a $2,000 donation by Modern Woodmen’s home office
through the organization’s matching fund program. The money
raised will be used for the purchase
of a new walk-in bath tub.
“The community truly came together to support a local need,” said
Don Haynes, local Modern Woodmen chapter activities coordinator,
“that support is what it is all
about.”
The matching fund program offers Modern Woodmen members
nationwide the chance to show
their support for a community
cause, organization or individuals
in need by holding fundraisers.
Modern Woodmen matches money
raised up to $2,500. These projects

Farm Service Agency
County Committee
Election Results
Kris Sammons of Midland was
elected to represent Local Administrative Area 3 (LAA 3). Tucker
Smith of Quinn was reelected to
represent LAA 1. Thank you to all
who took time to vote.
Elected county committee
members serve a three-year term
and are responsible for making
decisions on FSA disaster, conservation, commodity, and price support programs, as well as other
important federal farm program
issues.
County committee members
are a valuable asset because they
are comprised of local producers
who participate in FSA programs
themselves and have a direct connection to farmers and ranchers
in the community.
NEW EMPLOYEE
We are pleased to announce
that we have hired a new employee, Kristen Fink. Kristen is a
SDSU graduate and comes from
the Sturgis area. Please take a
moment to introduce yourself and
welcome her next time you are in!
Changes to NAP Insurance
The 2014 Farm Bill included
provisions that will affect NAP
grazing policies. This provision
eliminates the ability for a producer to collect multiple benefits
from any programs administered
by the Farm Service Agency for
the same loss. The programs that
cover the same loss are: Livestock
Forage Disaster Assistance Program (LFP), Emergency Loss Assistance Program (ELAP) and the
Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP). Producers
that purchase NAP coverage on
pasture cannot receive a payment
from both NAP and LFP or ELAP
for grazing losses.
Just because you can’t receive a
payment from both NAP and LFP
or ELAP, it doesn’t mean that you
can’t still purchase NAP for pasture. Producers will have the option of choosing which benefit to
June Huston, CED, 605-859-2186
[email protected]
receive.
Be aware that corn for grain
has been added as an insurable
NAP crop for Jackson County.
This may be an option that some
of you may want to consider.
Please contact our office for
more information if interested.
The deadline to purchase NAP
coverage is March 15th 2015.
Acreage Reporting
If you missed your appointment
for acreage reporting, please contact us and reschedule as soon as
possible. Many acreage reports
have been mailed out for signatures, please get them returned to
the office timely.
ARC/PLC New
Farm Program
What do you need to be doing to
get ready for the new ARC/PLC
program?
1. You will have a one-time opportunity to prove your PLC
yield. If you are interested in increasing your Price Loss Coverage (PLC) yield, calculate your
yield information by farm for
years 2008-2012. You received a
letter in early August that gave
you planted acres for these years,
this letter will help you complete
this. You can then complete the
CCC-859 yield worksheet, and
drop off at our office any time. We
will not keep any documentation
for the yields, you will simply certify to that information. Your federal crop agent may be able to
help you with this.
2. Consider base reallocation.
You will have a one-time opportunity to exchange bases from one
crop to another based on proration of the planted acres during
2009- 2012 crop years. Your bases
are on the same letter you received in August. New bases
acres may not increase just be reallocated to a different crop.
If you have completed or decided these two things when you
schedule your appointment, this
will be helpful. We will start
scheduling appointments soon for
this program.
There are some things you can
do on you own to start the educational process. Use these websites
to start reading up on the program and using the tools they
have available to help you make
your decision. The Texas A&M
tool can be found at the following
link: https://usda.afpc.tamu.edu/
The University of Illinois tool can
be found here: http://fsa.usapas.
com/. Both of these sites are also
available on the FSA public site:
http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/webapp?area=home&subject=arpl&
topic=landing. FarmDoc Daily
has articles written about the
2014 Farm Bill choices and making your decision at http://farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/areas/2014_f
arm_bill/ along with many other
publications that are out there.
The producer is going to have to
take an active role in researching
the different options with the
2014 Farm Bill in order make a
decision. Watch your local newspaper and email for dates and
times of local meetings around
the area in January. Philip also
has been chosen as a site for one
of 17 Regional Farm Bill Meetings. It will be February 12th
2015 at the American Legion Hall
at 1:00 PM. Be watching for
emails and newspapers for more
information and the locations of
other ones in our area. These
meetings are being conducted by
SDSU Extension and FSA. They
will be an excellent source of information to help you make decisions.
You
are
strongly
ENCOURAGED to attend one of
these meetings with SDSU &

Meals for Seniors Citizens in
Western South Dakota
One of the challenges adults
face as they age is accessing nutritious foods. There are many reasons why an adult may have
difficulties getting food. For example, macular degeneration may
prevent a person from driving to
store to purchase food or physical
disability may make it unsafe for
a person to cook. The Meals on
Wheels program is available to
provide nutritious meals to these
folks.
Contrary to popular belief,
adults do not have to meet an income requirement to receive the

Using Variety Trial Results
to Select Crop Varieties
Once harvest is complete, many
farmers are anxious to see the results of crop variety trials to make
their selections for the coming
season. University variety trials
are highly regarded due to their
unbiased nature, but private trials are also useful. Kathy Grady,
SDSU Extension Oilseeds Specialist, recently wrote an article
for iGrow.org, outlining how to
use variety trial results: http://
igrow.org/agronomy/othercrops/using-variety-trial-resultsto-select-crop-varieties/.
Following is a condensed version
of the article.
Evaluate as much yield data as
possible when selecting a variety,
looking at relative performance
over many locations and years.
Variety comparisons over three
years and several locations are
better than from a single year or
location. Consistent performance
of a variety over many environments is called "yield stability".
To determine if one variety is better than another for a given trait,
use the least significant difference
(LSD 5% or LSD 0.05) value at
the bottom of each data column.
The LSD value is a statistical way
to indicate if a trait like yield differs when comparing two varieties. If two varieties differ by
more than the indicated LSD
value for a given trait, they will
likely differ when grown again
under similar conditions. When
evaluating yield, look at as many

trials as possible. Trial results
from neighboring states are readily available and provide additional
data
on
variety
performance. It is unlikely that
the environmental conditions of a
single test will repeat in any future year. It can be valuable to
heavily consider yield trial information from plots close to your
farm if it is available.
The coefficient of variability
(C.V.) listed at the bottom of the
data table is a relative measure of
the precision or reliability of a
test. Generally, trials with low
C.V. rates are more reliable for
making variety choices than trials
with higher C.V. rates. Trials
with C.V. rates of 15-20% or less
may be considered reliable.
Among varieties with similar
yield potential, consider oil and/or
protein content. Some markets
pay a premium for oil or protein
above a certain level, or discount
or even reject crops below a minimum level. It generally does not
pay to sacrifice yield for oil or protein content.
For many crops, later-maturing
varieties generally produce higher
yields than early varieties when
seeded at normal planting dates.
Maturity is particularly important if planting is delayed. In
many cases of late seeding only an
early variety will mature properly
and exhibit its best yield potential
and oil content.
Varieties often differ in their resistance to diseases or insect
pests. If a crop is grown in a field
with a known history of a particular plant pathogen or insect pest,
a resistant variety should be selected, if available. Variety trial
results often report a lodging
score or percentage. A high lodging score may indicate weak
stems, stem disease, insect damage to the stem or roots, or adverse weather conditions such as
high winds.
Be sure to plant only high quality seed with good germination.
Certified seed is recommended to
assure varietal purity, seed viability, and freedom from pathogens
and weeds. SDSU crop variety trials for eleven different crop
species, going back several years
can
be
found

Derek Fugate is back home in

He will get his casts and stiches

He is in really good spirits and so
glad to be home. It is truly a miracle that he has recovered so fast!

On Dec. 6, we had a little sprinkle of snow in Rapid City, but the
weather forecast shows a little
thawing all week.
Dec. 7 was Pearl Harbor Day!
Somerset Court residents enjoyed
the Pearl Harbor movie and then
played whist.
My niece, Wanda Meyer Artz,
Humboldt, S.D., sent this little
whimsy: “Bill had a billboard and
Bill’s bill bored Bill but Bill also
had a billboard until Bill sold
Bill’s billboard to pay Bill’s board
bill and then Bill’s board bill no
longer bored Bill.” Thank you,
Wanda!
Wanda also included news that
Hit & Miss
my niece, Alma Schilling, Redfield
had phoned her lately. The
schillings had enjoyed Thanksgiving at their community dinner
where Harry Schilling helped prepare it.
I will try to include a paper
snowflake with each letter I write
before Christmas. I was wondering why the typewriter “second
sheets” that I have always used
for snowflake paper, were more
difficult to fold, and did not stay
where they were creased. Then I
reasoned that this new paper
probably came from a different
ream. And sure enough, although
this new paper says, Fox River
(Wisconsin), it does not have the
old watermark of 25 percent rag!
Happy birthday to Mary Lou
Peters and to Jim Holmes!
Sunday Dec. 7, Mary Beth Nielson was here for breakfast. She
was here to see her mother, Zona
Hairgrove. You remember Mary
Beth, she spent time in Mongolia
with M.R. and Barbara Hansen.
Dec. 7, I looked at my plants,
and my two Christmas cactus
plants are loaded with red buds!
We played bingo with Sharon
Keen and her daughter’s SWAT
softball team and their coach. The
girls furnished big prizes, packaged in a beautiful Christmas bag.
I won the four-corners game and
the prize they gave me was a
pretty Merry Christmas mug, two
toiletry items and a big book of
word searches! The girls sang
“Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” One of the girls, Emma
Burns, is from a family who has
roots in Philip. Her father is Brad
Burns, and her granddad is Don

M.R. He had met a lady who lives
in a Senechal apartment who
would like to know how to cut out
six-pointed snowflakes. These are
the white snowflakes made of the
25 percent rag typewriter second
sheet paper. it is a spcial paper
that hold it’s creases and is made
in Fox River, Wis. Wisconsin
paper-making is of special interest
to me, as many of our relatives
worked in the paper mills. I have
had the opportunity to visit a
paper mill and seen huge vats of
wood pulp being treated with
acids to dissolve them. Then the
materila is dried and pressed into
paper over huge rollers. M.R. and
I wrote out how to make the sixpoint snowflakes, and included
several snowflakes in the making
to illustrate the various steps. I
hope that will help. I only remember the names of two Senechal
lady residents, Theresa Clements
and Alfreida Noteboom. There
were several others, and new ones
come there from time to time.
On Wednesday, Dec. 10, we had
a group go on the Somerset Court
bus to the Dahl Fine Arts center
for a concert. The program was
varied with vocal, instrumental
and drama presentations. They
took sack lunches, so it was something like a picnic! Not a bad day
for a trip!
Old Philip friend, Barbara
(Raverty) Upton writes from Columbia, Mo. She says thanks for
my recent letter. My son, David
Hansen, Fort Pierre, was here!
Thank you for your visit, David.
It was good to see you and the
kids! (David’s grandchildren are,
Tiger, six, and CeCe, four and a
half). As David had been friends
with Barbara’s brothers when
they were kids in Philip, David
and I both wrote letters to Barbara for old times’ sake.
David Hansen entertained
Tiger, CeCe and me with the
paper cutting phenomenon in
which he cuts a sheet of the ordinary sized typing paper in such a
way that a kid can walk through
it! When David had carefully cut
the paper, he held it up and Tiger
and CeCe took turns walking
through the hole!
On Thursday, Dec. 11, we had
the entertainment of Wild Kingdom Preschool Christmas concert!
The program was held in Somerset Court chapel and adjoining
tranquility room. There was a
packed house! The children spoke
nicely in tune or cadence! There
were Christmas songs and rhymes
set to well-known Christmas
songs.
Merry Christmas to friend
Nanci Aams, Watsonville, Calif.
Nanci is a professional “birder”,
teaching birding classes and leading birding groups. Her place is
such a delight, Vinnie and I
stayed overnight with her, quite a
few years ago. An unforgettable
pleasure!
Shop local to support
community development
Our small businesses in South
Dakota and across the country are
the backbone of our nation's economy. They produce goods, provide
services and generate revenue
that keep our economy growing,
provide millions of Americans
with quality jobs, and keep our nation highly competitive in the
global community.
South Dakota has become
known for its robust business climate, consistently ranking among
the top states in the country to do
business. With a fiscally responsible state government, no personal
or corporate income tax, and an
unemployment rate of 4.3 percent,
it is easy to understand why
South Dakota continues to gain
national attention for its healthy
business environment.
While a low tax burden is an important start, most South Dakota
small businesses depend on the
support of consumers in their communities to keep their doors open.
The loyalty and patronage of customers in small towns and in
small businesses across the state
inject money into local establishments, helping them to compete
and provide a greater array of
products and services.
Most people can recall a busi-
ness in their community that donates to every fundraiser or sponsors a little league team every
year. Local businesses not only
contribute to local projects hoping
their sponsorship will generate
business, but they also contribute
because they believe their contribution is important to improving
the community. Whether they are
employing our friends and neighbors, donating to annual food
drives, or offering the “family” discount when times are tough, small
businesses are truly the lifeblood
of our South Dakota communities.
In Washington, I believe we
must do more to provide certainty
and support for our small businesses, which create 65 percent of
new jobs. One of the most important things we can do for our
small businesses is to make common sense reforms to our tax code.
Navigating the tax code is difficult
enough for corporations with
teams of certified public accountants, and it is even more difficult
for the vast majority of businesses
in this country that are organized
as pass-through businesses, which
means they pay their taxes at the
individual rates. In South Dakota,
93 percent of businesses pay their
taxes at the individual rate. These
individual operations expend time
and money complying with a tax
code that could otherwise be spent
hiring new workers or reinvesting
in their businesses. If we want
businesses to grow, we need to fix
our tax code for both corporations
and pass-through businesses. I
am eager to get to work with the
new Republican majority in the
next Congress to create an economic climate that encourages
small businesses to expand and
hire more workers.
As the holiday season kicks off,
I encourage South Dakotans not
to limit your small business patronage to Small Business Saturday. Remember to support your
friends; support your community;
and support small businesses by
shopping local throughout this
holiday season.

Audrey Jean Hoffman, age 82,
of Wall, S.D., died Tuesday, December 9, 2014, at Fountain
Springs Healthcare in Rapid City.
Audrey Jean White was born
August 7, 1932, the daughter of
Clarence Ward and Margaret
(Mayer) White. She spent the first
72 years of her life living north of
Wall in the Creighton/Pedro area.
Her entire youth was spent on a
horse, including broncs and any
type of horse there was, she would
ride. In her youth, she spent years
with Aunt Mattie and Uncle Maynard Newcombe, helping them on
the ranch and living with them
while she attended school.
Audrey was united in marriage
to Maurice T. Hoffman on February 17, 1951. The first five years
of their marriage was spent on the
White family ranch in the Pedro
area. It was here that their first
born child, George Wayne, was
born in 1952. In 1955, they moved
to Creighton where Maurice
worked for Walter Hoffman. On
January 3, 1956, their second
child, Wallace Lee, was born. In
1960, they purchased the George
Wilsey ranch, and in October 29,
1960, their youngest child, Debra
Ann, was born. They resided on
the ranch for the next 42 years,
raising market topping cattle during that time. They moved into
Wall in 2002.
Maurice preceded her in death
on December 15, 2005. She continued to reside in Wall until 2011,
when she moved to an independent living center in Rapid City.
Audrey enjoyed riding horse
and looking after the cattle. She
looked forward to auctions, where
she would always drag home a
“bargain.” She always had time
for a trip to Deadwood, and the
last 13 years she had a special
companion, Tora, the cat, which
held a special place in Audrey’s
heart.
Survivors include her son,
Wally Hoffman and his wife,
Frances Isabelle Noble
Frances Isabelle (May) Noble,
94, passed away November 22,
2014, in Rapid City, S.D.
Frances was born December 18,
1919, in Midland to Kathryn
(Street) May and Clayton Luther
May. She grew up on the May
homestead north of Midland, and
graduated from Midland High
School in 1938. She continued her
education, completing the 2-year
teaching certification program at
Black Hills Teachers College in
Spearfish, South Dakota. She
then began her teaching career in
one-room schoolhouses in the Midland area.
It was during these early years
that she met and fell in love with
(Harry) John Noble, and on June
25, 1940, they eloped. They
farmed and ranched in the Nowlin
area while she continued her
teaching career in country schools.
In 1951 they moved to Rapid City
and eventually established and
operated Noble’s Nursery until
John’s death in January 1962.
After his death, Frances resumed teaching and earned her
B.A. in Education in 1966 from
Black Hills State College. On December 21, 1979, she married
Lysle Gray, and they enjoyed 21
years together before his death in
January 2000. Frances retired
from the Rapid City School District after 34½ years in education.
She was a longtime member of
Alpha Delta Kappa professional
sorority and of South Maple
United Methodist Church.
Frances lived a remarkable life.
Through good times and bad, she
was a role model and inspiration
to many. She was fun-loving and
strong-willed, with a kind and
humble spirit. She loved getting
together with family, traveling,
dancing, cooking and gardening.
She enjoyed life, and we will miss
her.
She was preceded in death by
her husbands, John Noble and
Lysle Gray; her parents; brother,
Edwin (Bernice); sons, Clayton
and Robert; and grandsons, Billy
and Timothy.

It’s Monday, Dec. 15, 2014, and
it is cold outside with a light dusting of snow in our neck-of-thewoods and strong winds. Woke up
to 28˚ temperatures, but the wind
makes it feel much colder. Running across the television screen
were a number of late school
starts and some schools being
closed, as rain, turning to snow,
made for rather hazardous driving
conditions in some places and
towns. Rain is never a good thing
in winter in South Dakota. Our
Arizona temperatures of last week
in South Dakota have turned to
normal winter temperatures in
South Dakota. If we had a vote,
my vote would be to keep those
Arizona temperatures, but I also
know that for a farmer with winter wheat planted, those warm
temperatures in winter can prove
to be not a good thing for winter
wheat. And so, we take what
comes and when those bitter cold
temperatures and snows come, we
need to step back and realize we
are not in charge of the weather
and to be thankful for the shelter
of a warm home. It’s a busy time
of the year for families with children in school, for along with
school days this time of the year,
there is basketball practice and
basketball games, practice for
school Christmas programs and
church Christmas programs,
shopping to be done, Christmas
greeting cards to be sent, and baking to do, when before you know it,
Christmas for another year is but
a memory. I remember those busy
days, to be sure, when one felt a
bit overwhelmed at times, looking
forward to Christmas with family,
and a bit let down when Christmas was past and it was back to
life, as usual. With our children
grown and families of their own, it
is with a smile and a bit of nostalgia that my thoughts are on those
family members who were such an
important part of our lives and
now are but a memory. In visiting
with some of the Hunt family
cousins, we got to talking of
Christmas at John and Esther
Schanzenbach’s, in their old
house, when we were kids.
Grandpa Fosheim would come,
Grandma Fosheim passed away in
1943 and in reading her obituary
once again in the “The Chronicles
of the Deep Creek Church and
Community,” finding the wording
a bit interesting when in telling of
her death it tells, “The River of another life has reached the sea.”
I am so very thankful for those
folks who put together those local
history books, for without them
that history would be lost.
Besides Grandpa at those Christmas’ at John and Esthers were the
families of Mulcahys, Roots,
Hunts, Minnie, Roseths, Mom,
Phil and I. Oh, what fun they were
and Uncle John Schanzenbach
was always Santa Claus. He used
to be Santa Claus at country
schools, too. And, with those memories comes a time of when my
aunt, Emma Root, was in the
Rapid City hospital, for the last
time. Jerry and I had gone to visit
her and to be with family there.
Emma’s veins were so thin it hurt
when they tried putting in an IV
and so I worked at distracting her
while the nurse worked to get it
in. We talked of Christmas at
John and Esther’s and John being
Santa, we both decided he made a
good one and that he had the
tummy for it. We had to laugh! As
the nurse was leaving Emma’s
room she commented that the
story of John being Santa was precious. Of that Fosheim bunch of
Thor and Gjertina, Mom always
said Emma had the personality
most like that of Grandma Fosheim, telling that the rest of them
had a bit of Grandpa in them.
In that hospital room, Emma got
to talking and as she talked she
slipped into Norwegian. Well, in
the whole process, I told her that
Mom had always said she was the
most like Grandma of any of them
and though I couldn’t understand
what she was saying in Norwegian, from the tone of her words
she was sounding a bit like
Grandpa. Oh, we did have to
chuckle over that. There are a
whole lot of memories of mom and
her siblings and the get-togethers
for the holidays of Christmas,
Easter, Thanksgiving and New
Years. Good memories! Guess it’s
time to move from those nostalgic
memories and on to writing the
news for this week!

Folks in this area were sorry to
learn that Frances (May) Noble,
Rapid City, passed away at the
age of, 94-years-young. She was
one of those people who aged
gracefully!
She was born in
Midland Dec. 18, 1919, grew up on
the homestead of her parents,
Kathryn and Clayton May, and
graduated from Midland High
School in 1938. She went on to get
her teaching certificate, married
John Noble in June 25, 1940, they
farmed and ranched in the Nowlin
area and she continued her teaching career in country schools.
They later moved to Rapid City.
She never forgot her roots of Midland, and was always faithful
about coming to Midland for their
annual Merchant’s Appreciation
Day activities. Frances graduated
from Midland High School in 1938
and my aunt, Ida Fosheim, at that
time, later becoming Ida Hunt,
graduated in1940. I remember the
two of them having a good visit at
those annual Free Day events.
In later years, her son, Larry,
faithfully brought his mom to
Midland, for that annual event. A
memorial service for Frances will
be at 3:00 p.m. Monday, Dec. 22,
2014, at Kirk Funeral Home, 1051
E. Minnesota St. in Rapid City.
Inurnment in the Midland Cemetery will follow at a later date. We
wish to express our sincere sympathies to the family of Frances
(May) Noble. For anyone wishing
to read her obituary, see page 5 in
this week’s edition of the Pioneer
Review.
Brenda Jensen, Midland, went
to Smith Center, Kan., to visit her
longtime friend through grade
school, Lisa (Hunt) Hackerott,
both graduating from Midland
High School in 1981. While there,
Brenda went with Lisa to the basketball games of Lisa’s two sons,
Blake and Stuart. Brenda rode
with Lisa to Kearney, Neb., to the
Landmark John Deere Implement
Company Christmas party where
Lisa was recognized for her five
years of working at Landmark
Equipment. Her late husband,
Brian Hackerott, had worked at
Landmark Equipment for a number of years before his death.
Congratulations, Lisa, for this
special recognition for your faithful service to the company.
Lisa’s family here in Midland, tell
that this company has been so
good to her, always checking to
see if she needs help with anything, following Brian’s death,
which has meant a whole lot.
Brenda reported she and Lisa had
a good time of just being together
and having some good laughs.
In giving Judy Daly a call on
news, she reports they haven’t
done anything newsworthy, as she
and Steve and Julie have been
working at getting windbreaks
put up where they do their calving, in-between the strong winds
we’ve been having. They have
been doing some fencing as of late
and the three of them planned on
going to the Christmas concert at
the Philip school this Monday
evening, as Steve and Julie’s boys,
Carson and Dane, are in it.
Sunday, Dec. 7, Clint and Prerry Saucerman, along with Wilma
Saucerman and Marlin Evans,
headed for Rapid City for the
church service at Victory Chapel.
Roy and Carol Hunt were also
there for the service, as was Mark
and Glenda Nemec. The reason
being, 12-year-old, Emma Saucerman, the daughter of Tel and Ellie
(Nemec) Saucerman, was having
the church service that Sunday.
Emma’s teacher and the cook of
where Emma attends school, were
there, as was a friend of Emma’s.
Family thought that was pretty
amazing, considering Emma goes
to a large school and yet, there
was a sense of small school. Her
dad, Tel, is pastor of that church.
Reports are Emma did a fine job of
December 18, 2014 • Pioneer Review
it! Following church, the bunch
headed to Tel and Ellie’s to help
their daughter, Raygen, celebrate
her fourth birthday. Devlon, Noel
and girls, Rapid City, were also
there. There was a birthday meal
with three different kinds of
soups, presents to open and birthday cake to enjoy.
Roy and
Carol then headed for home, with
Wilma and Marlin, riding back
with them. Clint and Prerry
stayed over for a couple of nights,
doing some Christmas shopping
the next day and attending granddaughter, Emma’s, basketball
game that evening, heading for
home the next day.
Friday, a group of release time
kids at Trinity Lutheran Church
sang Christmas carols and fun
songs at the Philip Nursing Home.
Serving snacks made by their
moms to the residents at the nursing home and giving out homemade Christmas ornaments from
Christmas in Midland. The piano
students of Trisha (DeVries) Bork
played those familiar Christmas
songs for folks to enjoy.
Heading for home, Prerry took the
kids in her van to the Senechal
Apartments so they could see the
beautiful Christmas village in the
window. Prerry’s mom, Marlin
Evans, has an apartment at the
Senechal and she, along with former Midland resident, Dorothy
Bathel, who also lives there,
helped put the village together,
along with others living at the
Senechal. Kim Deuter helped and
her husband, Terry, had made the
platform the Christmas village
was displayed on. Prerry says it is
beautiful and encourages folks to
take time from their busy day to
stop in and see it.
Sunday, Clint and Prerry and
Wilma Saucerman went to Rapid
City for the children’s program at
Victory Chapel. Mark and Glenda
Nemec were also there, as Emma,
Sawyer, Meleah and Raygen
Saucerman were a part of the children’s program. Their parents, Tel
and Ellie, had put together the
program and reports are it was a
good program. There was potluck
and a time of visiting following the
program and the group went to
Tel and Ellie’s before heading for
home. On the way home, Clint,
Prerry and Wilma stopped to see
Gaylord Saucerman at the Philip
Nursing Home.
The Open Bible Church ladies
once again had their annual
Christmas party and fellowship at
the fellowship hall at the church.
Christmas carols were sung, with
Karel Reiman accompanying on
the piano. Three-year-old Emry Jo
Nemec was there with her mom,
Angel, and requested her favorite
song, “Jesus Loves Me,” so Karel
took off playing the song, with the
rest of us joining in the singing.
That song request brought with it
memories, for those of us there, as
we remembered singing it in Sunday school. Little Emry’s favorite
song brought warm memories to
those of us there. Following the
singing, everyone was invited to
fill their plates with snacks furnished by the ladies. They always
have the most delicious snacks.
It is an enjoyable time of visiting
with friends and is much appreciated by those of us there.
Ernie and Laurel Nemec went
6
to Sioux Falls Friday. That
evening, they attended the Christian Center Elementary School
Christmas program. Their daughter, Rebecca Thompson, is a
teacher at that school and Ernie
and Laurel’s grandson, Josiah
Thompson, attends school there
and was in the program.
Terry and Laura Nemec, Dell
Rapids, and Barbara (Nemec) Larson, Sioux Falls, also attended.
Saturday, Ernie and Laurel attended two basketball games at
Liberty Elementary School in
Harrisburg. Grandson Logan Larson was on the team and his dad,
Todd Larson, coaches the team.
Making it exciting, their team
won both games. Following the
games, Ernie and Laurel headed
home to Midland.
Saturday morning, Lisa Foley
came to the home of her parents,
Gene and Audrey Jones, staying
until Monday. She helped her
mom with doing some cleaning in
readiness for family coming home
for Christmas, helped put up the
Christmas tree and a number of
Audrey’s Santa collection. That
help is always much appreciated!
Driving home Monday, the road
conditions were not good, taking
about two hours longer than usual
to get home. East River had much
worse road conditions than those
in West River. Ice is never a good
thing!
Saturday, Shorty and Maxine
Jones and Bob and Verona Evans
headed to Rapid City for the figure
skating winter ice skating show of
which their nine-year-old, granddaughter, Callie Jones, was a part
of. Callie is the daughter of Ross
and Melanie (Evans) Jones. That
afternoon, they attended Callie’s
piano recital.
Bad River Club
Dec. 5, 2014, even though the
weather did not remind one of the
Christmas season, you definitely
felt the holiday spirit when you
entered the beautifully decorated
home of our hostess, Laurel
Nemec. As each member was welcomed, we were served festive
Christmas punch which Kathy
Tolton had made. The décor on the
luncheon table carried out the
theme of the holiday season.
Betty Sinkey, co-hostess, made
each member a remembrance gift
to take home. These had been
placed at each table setting which
added to the table decorations.
Janice Bierle chose to sit at the
right place and took home the
door prize.
Afternoon festivities included
the delicious mushroom steak dinner with all the trimmings which
had been prepared and served by
our hostess. We tried our hand at
trying to match Christmas carols
with the given clues. Wilma
Saucerman was the only one able
to match all correctly and was declared the winner. She also took
home the price is right gift.
Secret pal names were drawn for
the year 2015 and we also know
which month will be our turn to be
hostess. Secret pal gifts were
opened and names revealed.
All too soon it was time to bring to
a close another Christmas memory. But first, we must have
dessert and that last cup of coffee!
Betty made a delicious rolled
angel food cake dessert and Kathy
brought peanut butter fudge and
Verona Evans brought her special
popcorn. As another year comes to
a close, Emily Sammons took pictures of the day we gathered with
friends at the home of Laurel
Nemec in 2014. Kathy will be our
February hostess.
Isabelle Sampson, club reporter
***
In visiting by phone with our
daughter, Charlene, Saturday,
she had a rather interesting story
to tell of one of her seventh grade
Spanish students in Bismarck,
N.D. This certain student finds
school to be a bit of a challenge, it
is not easy for him. This one particular day, Charlene was teaching a lesson on art. She had taken
pictures from her travels in Spanish speaking countries and was
showing some of those art pictures
she had taken through her power
point projector, sharing stories of
the artists and their pictures, with
her students. At the close of class
that day, this one boy who struggled with school began applauding, with other kids in class
following suit. Turns out this boy
loves art and enjoyed the lesson.
With a bit of a chuckle, Charlene
shared it was one of positive moments in the life of a teacher.
One of those times of realizing
why you chose to become a
teacher. That is a good thing!
If I missed your news for this
week, I’ll catch up with you Friday, as with next being Christmas
week, we’ve been asked to get our
news in early. As, I close my column for another week, I leave you
with the following, “The best exercise for the heart is to bend down
and help someone.”
Have a good week!

Elementary Christmas vocal concert Academic achievement
The elementary Christmas music concert, Monday, Dec. 15, was in two parts. Students
through third grade performed first. Many songs, all under the heading of “Jingle All the
Way,” were based on a narrated skit of Santa losing his jingle because of his doldrums of
whatever happened to the real Christmas. Reindeer, snowmen and elves all tried to help.
Even three kids tried to find their way to the North Pole to cheer Santa, but got lost. Songs
included “Our
Time to Share”
and “Ring the
Bells of Christmas.” Finally,
his jingle was
found in the
hearts of others,
including the
audience. The
lost kids followed Santa’s
jingle, and then
all the characters celebrated
with “Jingle in
My Heart.”

Six Philip High School Scotties
fall teams have earned academic
achievement recognition.
The South Dakota High School
Activities Association’s Academic
Achievenent team award program, initiated during the 19961997 school year, is designed to
recognize varsity athletic teams
and fine arts groups for their academic excellence.
All varsity athletic teams and
fine arts groups that achieve a
combined grade point average of
3.0 or higher are eligible to receive
an SDHSAA Academic Achievement Team Award.
The PHS teams earning this
recognition include the boys’ cross
country, girls’ cross country, football team, football cheerleaders,
volleyball team, and PHS AllState Chorus members.
The SDHSAA believes that high
school students learn in two distinct ways – inside the classroom
and outside the classroom (on the
stage and/or athletic field). This
academic program creates a positive environment for school teams
to have its members excel in the
classroom. This program is also
meant to motivate students toward academic excellence and to
promote academic encouragement
from teammates.
All varsity athletic teams and
fine arts groups that participate in
SDHSAA sponsored activities are
eligible for this recognition program. It provides high school students with the opportunity to
prove they can be overwhelmingly
successful in both academics as
well as in athletic and fine arts activities.
Parade of trees
The fourth, fifth and sixth graders, as Santa’s reindeer, elves, snowpersons, ballerinas, toys and others,
are already putting on the 400th annual North Pole
Musical. But, Santa hasn’t yet written the grand finale! Two reindeer are the worried stage managers/directors. The various singing and dancing acts race
toward the undetermined end. Rudolph, though a real
klutz dancer, is a soloist singer. The energetic snowmen fear melting under the stage lights. Protesting
elves demand their own performance number. The
toys perform the entire “Nutcracker Suite” in three
minutes. A great musical so far, but Santa is worried
that the heart of Christmas is getting lost. Christmas is about love.
Santa knows the show-stopper finale, a touching, quartet-featuring
“This is the Heart of Christmas.”

Scotties topple Wall Eagles
The Philip junior varsity began
their season’s opening game by
holding the lead at the end of the
first quarter and the end on the
first half. From there, though, the
Lady Scotties had to play catch
up. The final buzzer sounded with
the Scotties behind the Eagles.
Philip’s Shay Hand goes for a rebound against the Wall Eagles.
The first varsity high school
basketball game of the 2014-2015
season for the Philip Lady Scotties
was just not destined to be a win.
The away game, Thursday, Dec.
11, went to the Wall Eagles, 3961. Both teams are in Class B District 14.
In the first quarter, the Lady
Scotties could not keep the lead.
The rest of the game was an attempt to to catch up and pass the

The Philip junior varsity also
brought home a win.
The first quarter was a relatively low scoring one, but Philip
ended it in the lead. By the end of
the second quarter, the scoreboard
showed the Scotties doubling their
opponents’ score. The third quarter was a runaway for Philip, with
little slowing them all the way to
the final buzzer.
This puts the junior varsity at a
1/1 win/loss record so far.
The next contest for the Lady
Scotties is Philip hosting the Stanley County Lady Buffaloes on
Thursday, Dec. 18, starting at
2:30 p.m. Their next game, again
in Philip, will be against the Edgemont Moguls, Saturday, Dec. 20,

Nickelson tackles multimedia
Colton Nickelson, a Philip High
School graduate, is now a graduate from Black Hills State University. He learned new skills in
interactive multimedia design
through technological learning
initiatives in his mass communication class.
Mary Caton-Rosser, associate
professor of mass communication
at BHSU, had students develop
electronic prototypes for smartphone applications, interactive ebooks and websites, and games.
Several of the students have completed their prototypes and marketed them to the public.
Nickelson, a mass communication major, designed an interactive game. Through the use of 3D
software, he created an animation
of the classic game where a ball is
placed under one of three cups
and shuffled. Viewers have to determine which cup the ball is
under.
Nickelson, who is currently interning with the Rapid City Rush,
incorporated the hockey team's
logo and the ice arena into the
game. He said he hopes to have
the game broadcast during intermission of a Rush game this season.
Most of the students had little
to no knowledge of website creation, coding and building images.
It took time, research and a lot of
patience to learn the new skills.
"Students started out with such
grandiose ideas," Caton-Rosser
said. "But they had to develop the
knowledge to create this idea and
sometimes that meant changing
how everything was done along
the way."
Caton-Rosser said several students worked with programmers
and software experts to develop
their prototypes.

Santa's Secret Shop was open for business Tuesday through
Thursday, Dec. 9-11. Students, staff and parents were welcome to shop. Prices for the large variety of gifts ranged
from $1 to $10. Room A-3 of the high school was lined with
tables full of items. The annual shop has been a Haakon
Education Association project, but this year the Philip
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America used
it as a community service project. Above, two discerning
shoppers weigh the pros and cons of a certain gift. Upper

that the math is correct in totaling her purchases.
Knutson wins business competition
tition is in its fourth year. Their
plan, titled Ki’s Chords, teaches
individuals how to play guitar
using modern songs. In addition to
attending SDSU, Knutson gives
guitar lessons. The idea came
when Knutson became frustrated
there are not teaching books available using current music. Prior to
helping with the business plan,
Binger was one of her students.
He learned how to play in the past
year using the method.
The two students plan to use

South Dakota State University
students Kianna Knutson and
Shane Binger won the 2014 First
Dakota National Bank Business
Plan Competition. They were
among six teams recognized Dec.
9 at the Research Park at South
Dakota State University.
Knutson, a junior from Philip,
and Binger, a senior from Tulare,
received a $4,000 prize for winning the competition. The compe-
ness plan in writing and the top
six teams presented their plan to
judges. Judges evaluated each
team's business plan based on its
strategic plan, market analysis, financial data and projections, orgastructure
and
nizational
implementation plans.
The competition is designed to
complement coursework in the
SDSU entrepreneurial studies
program with the opportunity to
develop and present a business
plan. Participants had to be fulltime SDSU students in good
standing and at least one team
member in an entrepreneurial
studies course.
