Travis Johnson and son, Corbin, all
of Casper, WY, spent the weekend
of April 5 at the home of Leslie’s
mother-in-law, Bonnie (Briggs) Riggins.
While here they did lots of

On Monday morning we are always
blessed to have Lois Pettyjohn
come in and play the piano
for us. She has been bringing along
Faye Eisenbraun and it’s always
nice to see her beautiful smile first
thing on Monday mornings!
Joy Parker had several visits
from family and friends, she is finally
feeling better after a long
bout with a cold and cough.
Brad Louder drove his mother
down to visit with their dad and
husband, Dwight, on Friday. They
had a good visit once Dwight woke
up from his cat nap.
Amy and Linda Stillwell came
by to visit with Mickie Word. She
loves it when someone stops by
with some school news. Then on
Sunday, Bonnie Madsen came and
picked her up for the play after
stopping by other residents rooms
and saying hi.
Arylss Klundt and his friend,
Raynita, were here over the weekend
to see his mom, Ruth. She celebrated
a birthday on Saturday
and it’s always so nice to be able to
spend with family members. Other
community members also stopped
in to wish her birthday blessings.
The Wilmarth family stops by
almost every day to see Alice and
let her know the town news. Alice
enjoys her time that she gets to
spend with them and the time she
gets to spend with Tammy when
she gets her hair done.
Trey, Savannah, and Debbie
Knispel came by to visit with
Emma Jarl, who is their great
grandmother. She enjoys every
minute they are here. She always
likes to hear about Trey’s basketball
games and stats.
Mary Ellen got a surprise visit
from Sharon and Susan Ivory. They
are friends from way back. They always
have a lot to catch up on
when they get together. Rev. Ray
Greenseth, Patti and Colleen
stopped to bring Mary Ellen and
Mel Koester communion.
Elaine Keminitz was a very popular
resident this week. She had a
visit from her husband, Don, and
also a visit from her daughter, Lori,
and her son-in-law, Rob. Elaine is
adjusting very well to our home
and were all real happy she is now
a part of our home!
Congratulations goes out to
Elmer Williams our Resident of the
Month for April 2013. I’d also like
to wish five of our ladies a happy
birthday, Joy Parker, Emma Jarl,
Betty VanderMay, Ruth Klundt,
and Jobie Gerry.
Oliver Willert continues to stay
fairly busy with his company that
stops in on a regular basis. He is
pretty content in the afternoons

stopping in after work.
We are so happy that our weekly
visitors, Lova Bushnell, Lola Joyce
Riggins, Shirley Josserand, Gary
Petras, stopped by and to all who
might not have had the chance to
sign the registry book.
Kadoka Nursing Home
prime rib dinner April 20
The Kadoka Nursing Home
Prime Rib Dinner will be held this
Saturday, April 20 at the Kadoka
City Auditorium.
Tables will be set and ready for
viewing from 2 pm to 4 pm. Coffee
and cookies will also be served. The
public is welcome to come take a
look at the tables during that time.
Dinner will begin at 6:00 pm
with entertainment beginning at
7:00 pm and an auction to follow.
Mikayla Rogers and Jessica
Bachman will be providing guests
with their musical talents. Both
are sophomores at Rapid City Central
High School, and are members
of the prestigious Central Chamber
Orchestra, which has been recognized
as one of the top high school
chamber groups in the nation.
Mikayla has received superior
ratings for solos performed in the
Region 8 Orchestra Competition,
both in violin and piano, as the pianist
for an orchestral trio and as
the pianist as part of the chamber
orchestra’s large group entry. She
is the granddaughter of Gay Klima
Tollefson of Philip.
Jessica has received superior
ratings in the Region 8 Orchestra
Competition for her solo, her piano
trio, as member of a quartet and as
part of Central’s chamber orchestra
large group entry.
The evening will continue with
an auction of donated items to be
held following the musical entertainment.
In the past The Kadoka Nursing
Home Prime Rib Dinner fundraiser
has helped the nursing home raise
money for a sprinkler system.
One of the current projects they
are working on is providing a fence
for their residents who are affected
by dementia. A fence would allow
those residents the freedom to
enjoy the outside.
Another project is the purchase
of a new stove for the kitchen. The
new stove will cost the nursing
home $15,000.
Proceeds from the prime rib supper
help ease the out of pocket costs
for these nursing home projects.
If you are interested in attending
the supper, there are a few tickets
left. Tickets can be purchased
from Ruby Sanftner by calling 837-
2270.
Thank you • Thank you • Thank you
The Hogen and Oyan families take this opportunity to thank
all of you for attending our 67th anniversary and farewell
celebration last Saturday. What a great gathering!
We were honored to received many “good wishes”, cards,
flowers and gifts. Those really made our event special.
You know, we’ll miss our relationship together but as we
prepare to step aside, we know that the community will be
well provided for by the new owners, Brian and Jessi Fromm.
So, come May, we would like everyone to stop in and welcome
these Main Street newcomers and explore with them
some of the new and exciting things they will be bringing to
the business. We are excited about this change and we hope
this new beginning will translate into growth and progress for
Kadoka and the surrounding community.
THANK YOU customers and friends!
We’ve had a good run together...

Spring snow storm brings
moisture by the piles
Getting around was a challenge even for the West River Excavation crew.
A huge snowdrift divided downtown mainstreet while the city began cleanup after
the spring blizzard.
A closed Interstate 90 looked abandoned while a SDDOT plows worked to clear a
path for motor vehiclists.
