High school finals rodeo held last week 

The 2013 South Dakota High School 

Rodeo finals were held last week, June 

19-23 at the Roundup grounds in Belle 

Fourche. 

Area contestants fought hard for the 

spots to go to the national finals in 

Rock Springs, Wyo. in July. Scores 

were affected by the heavy rains, especially 

for the short go. 

Point scoring for the finals includes 

15 places. First place is given 15 points 

down to 15th place which is awarded 

one point. In instances where there is 

the same score the points are totaled 

and then divided equally. The first and 

second rounds each had 15 placings; 

the short go had 10. Average winners 

are based upon totaled scores from the 

three rounds. 

The champion and runner-up spots 

are chosen by the total of all the points 

earned during the season plus, those at 

the finals. The top four contestants 

from each event move on to the national 

finals. 

In some cases, while a contestant 

may not have had the best state finals, 

the had enough season points to place 

them in the top 15 of total points for 

the year.

“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” 

(Matt 16:15) 

Satan asked Eve in the Garden, “Did God really say...?” Pilate 

asked Jesus 2000 years ago, “What is truth?” These two questions 

are still being asked today: “Is the Bible really God’s 

Word?” “Oh, what is truth anyway?” Now the world states quit 

clearly, “There is no absolute truth.” But, the world is so wrong. 

There is absolute truth. Truth is Jesus Christ. Today Jesus is 

asking each of us the most important question in our lives. 

“Who do YOU say I AM?” Your answer is a matter of your eternal 

life or death. 

Sadly today, we hear, “Jesus was only a good man.” Or “Just another 

prophet.” But Jesus is so much more. The verses following 

our text says, “From that time on Jesus began to explain to his 

disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things 

... and that he must be killed, and on the third day be raised to 

life.” Jesus was born to be our Savior. Christ went to Jerusalem 

to suffer, die, and rise from the dead for all your sins. Yes, Jesus 

is both God and man. True God to offer a perfect sacrifice for all 

people, true man to die in our place. Jesus is the Christ, the 

Anointed one. He is sent from God the Father to be our only 

Savior. He is the one who gave up his life to secure our full and 

free forgiveness. He is the one who rose victorious from the 

grave to secure our freedom from death. He is the one who rules 

over all things for our good, now and eternally. May we always 

confess that: “Jesus, you are the Christ, the Son of the living 

God,” and “MY Savior!”

Tree Facts – Planting trees around your home 

By Robert Drown, 

Natural Resource Specialist 

The country looks beautiful 

from the ample amounts of moisture 

supplied by Mother Nature 

over the last month. It causes 

many to think of planting trees 

around homes and etc. Site selection 

and species are important factors 

that require planning and 

consideration. 

If your home is in town be sure 

to check up on any rules and 

guidelines that they may have on 

planting trees near the 

street/boulevard or sidewalk. The 

location of utilities is an important 

consideration when planting trees. 

Planting under power lines is not 

recommended. If utility poles are 

present on your property line, do 

not plant within ten feet of the 

property line. Give buried utilities 

the same consideration as the utilities 

you can see. 

Planting trees around your 

home creates certain microclimate 

effects. Large broadleaf trees 

planted on the southeast, southwest 

and west provide cooling 

shade in summer and they don’t 

block the low winter sun. An evergreen 

windbreak on the north 

blocks cold winter winds. Large 

evergreens on the south block 

warming winter sunlight. New 

trees need room to grow to their 

mature size. Never plant a shade 

tree within 20 feet of your house. 

Following are recommendations 

and ratings for tree species. Trees 

are listed in three categories: 

Evergreen Trees, Street/Boulevard 

Trees and Small Trees. All have 

been rated according to hardiness, 

shape, disease and insect problems, 

ease of establishment, maintenance 

requirements and past 

performance of the species. 

EVERGREEN TREES – Do 

not plant these trees near power 

lines. Ponderosa Pine, Austrian 

Pine and Scotch Pine are rated excellent; 

Colorado Blue Spruce is 

rated very good and Black Hills 

Spruce is rated good. There are 

numerous other ornamental evergreens 

that do well in the area, 

contact local nurseries for information. 

STREET/BOULEVARD 

TREES – Do not plant these trees 

near power lines. Green Ash, Linden 

and Canada Red Cherry are 

rated excellent; Bur Oak, Kentucky 

Coffee Tree, Honeylocust 

and Hackberry, are rated very 

good and Maples and, Catalpa are 

rated fair to good. 

SMALL TREES – These trees 

are suitable to be planted near 

power lines and streets/boulevards. 

Crabapples are rated excellent; 

Amur Chokecherry is rated 

very good; Mountain Ash, Russian 

Olive are rated good. 

Planting your tree properly is 

very important. Dig a hole, three 

times the diameter of the pot or 

root ball and only as deep as the 

container is tall. Set tree in hole 

and carefully remove pot by cutting 

sides with a very sharp utility 

knife. On balled and burlap trees, 

carefully cut wires and burlap 

away from the tree and push down 

into hole. Do not attempt to remove 

wire completely as it may 

damage the root system. Stake 

the tree only if recommended by 

nursery. Don’t use wire to brace 

your tree, rather use canvas ties. 

Be sure to remove stake after the 

first growing season. Water the 

tree to completely wet and settle 

soil. Thereafter, water every seven 

to ten days during the first growing 

season and every two to three 

weeks during the following years 

as needed. It takes five to ten 

years for a new tree to become 

completely established. 

My source for this news release 

was the Rapid City Urban 

Forestry Board. If you would like 

more information about “Planting 

trees around your home,” call Bob 

Drown at the Conservation Office 

at 605-244-5222, Extension 4 or by

Bur oak are excellent shade trees and native to western South 

Dakota.

Grand River Roundup ............................................................... By Betty Olson 

Pretty wild weather this week, 

wasn’t it? Summer officially arrived 

on Friday and the drought 

has been broken. We’ve got 2.32 

inches of rain in three downpours 

on Friday and Saturday, along 

with a ton of wind. We didn’t have 

any hail here, but several of our 

neighbors got hammered by hail 

and estimated 100mph winds. 

West of Sorum, the wind blew 

Tommy Fabris’ ultra-light airplane 

out of his shop and totaled it. Trees 

blew down all over Eric and 

Amanda Schuchard’s yard and the 

wind almost blew a couple of their 

kids away! Jonathan and Erica 

Wiechmann were driving into 

their yard northeast of Bison when 

wind tore the porch right off their 

house and slammed it into the 

pickup they were driving, smashing 

the windshield and wrecking 

the pickup. The wind did a lot of 

damage to their buildings and corrals, 

but thankfully no one was injured! 

The High Plains Western Heritage 

board met Tuesday in 

Spearfish and Bob Christofferson 

was selected as our newest director. 

The Heritage Center will celebrate 

the National Day of the 

American Cowboy on July 20th 

with a Campfire Series show at 

2:00 that afternoon. The official 

National Day of the American 

Cowboy is July 27, but the Heritage 

Center is celebrating a week 

early so we don’t interfere with another 

celebration at New Underwood 

on the 27th. For more information 

on that one, contact Slim 

McNaught at Slim's Custom 

Leather, 110 S. Madison Ave, New 

Underwood, SD 57761 (605)754- 

6103. 

Bob Hanson read the story Jan 

Swan Wood had written about our 

local cowgirl, Jessie Hotchkiss, in 

the Tri-State Livestock News and 

called me to see if I would accompany 

him to the Hotchkiss ranch 

to meet Jessie on Wednesday. 

She’s interested in the bridle horse 

tradition of riding and Bob had 

tied a fancy knot he wanted to give 

Jessie. Her parents were as interested 

as Jessie was to see the different 

ropes and whips Bob 

brought to show her. Besides the 

fancy knot he made for Jessie, he 

brought a horse hair rope, a grass 

rope, a rawhide lariat, and a beautiful 

leather whip to show us. 

Sandy Hotchkiss invited us in 

for coffee and we dined on freshly 

baked peach pie, topped with thick 

sweet cream while Bob told Dan 

some of the welding tricks he’s 

learned during his 94 years on this 

old earth. Bob is one of my very favorite 

old cowboys and has led a 

colorful life. He was raised on a 

ranch near Bison, knew most of 

the old-time cowboys, and is a 

wonderful horseman. He was a 

POW during WWII, is an outstanding 

blacksmith and welder, 

and was a Perkins Co. deputy 

sheriff and EMT for several years. 

As soon as I got back to the ranch, 

I called Jan Wood and she’s going 

to interview Bobby in July for a 

story in the Tri-State. That should 

be really interesting! 

While I’m on the subject of oldtime 

cowboys, I’m trying to locate 

relatives and acquaintances of the 

old cowboys who came north with 

the cattle herds who still live in 

this area. I’m gathering information 

about Dode Wiley, Jim Brumley, 

Frank Beck, George Shipley, 

Ed Dippert, SPY Wilson, Fred Jennewein, 

Billy Marty, Lewis 

Painter, Russ Wilson, Greenup 

Mosely, Billy Clanton, Pecos Dick 

Turbiville, Tennessee Vaughn, 

Paul and Thornton Ames, and 

other old cowboys who stayed in 

this area after the roundup days 

were over. If any of you have information 

to share before the American 

Cowboy celebration at the 

Heritage Center in July, email me 

at bets_reva@hotmail.com or call 

me at 605-855-2824. 

Growing up in Bison, I look forward 

to the annual Gala Days celebration 

and this year was even 

more special. Bison High School 

held an all-school reunion Saturday 

and we had a wonderful time. 

Eight members of my graduating 

class of 16, Alyce Loftsgaard 

Kriege, Rose Sander Hafner, Betty 

Vetter Nelson, Ron Kopren, Greg 

Deibert, Wayne Palmer, Terry 

Haggart and I gathered in the afternoon 

at Mom’s Café to look 

through the old school annuals 

and reminisce about the “good old 

days”. Five of our classmates, 

Linda Jackson, Leon Anderson, 

Tim Lane, Reed Loughlin, and Bob 

Erickson, are no longer with us, 

but Sandy (Butler) Leonard attended 

grade school with us and 

she came to our gathering. 

That evening we joined other 

Bison graduates and former teachers 

for supper and a program at 

the school gym. The storm hit 

while we were eating and the 

lights went out for a while, but as 

soon as electricity was restored, 

we were able to enjoy the entertainment 

and visit with old 

friends. It’s amazing how the years 

change people and we had trouble 

recognizing folks we grew up with. 

And they had a hard time recognizing 

us! 

Terry Haggart from my graduating 

class sent me this about the 

perks of reaching 60 or being over 

70 and heading towards 80! 

Kidnappers are not very interested 

in you. 

In a hostage situation you are 

likely to be released first. 

No one expects you to run - anywhere. 

People call at 9 pm and ask, 

"Did I wake you?" 

People no longer view you as a 

hypochondriac. 

There is nothing left to learn the 

hard way. 

Things you buy now won't wear 

out. 

You can live without sex but not 

your glasses. 

You get into heated arguments 

about pension plans. 

You no longer think of speed 

limits as a challenge. 

You quit trying to hold your 

stomach in no matter who walks 

into the room. 

You sing along with elevator 

music. 

Your eyes won't get much worse. 

Your investment in health insurance 

is finally beginning to pay 

off. 

Your joints are more accurate 

meteorologists than the national 

weather service. 

Your secrets are safe with your 

friends because they can't remember 

them either. 

Your supply of brain cells is finally 

down to manageable size. 

And never, under any circumstances, 

take a sleeping pill and a 

laxative on the same night.

THANK YOU 

“ When we went to the hospital the 

ranch looked like Arizona, we got out 

60 days later and it looks like Ireland. 

Thank you everyone for all of the 

visits, cards, phone calls, letters, flowers 

and gifts during my hospital stay 

and the loss of our mother. 

(the 4-wheeler is gone)” 

Jesse and Mary Lee Marty 

We would like to take this opportunity 

to thank all of you who have supported 

our family in the loss of our 

mother, grandmother and sister, 

Gwyneth Green. Words cannot explain 

the comfort we felt from the 

community during this difficult time. 

A special thank you to Pastor Florence 

Hoff for being there for us before 

Mom passed away and for the 

comforting words and special message 

that you delivered at the family 

service and funeral. You truly are an 

awesome Pastor. A big thank you goes 

to Bart Damjanovich for the music at 

the family service, funeral and burial. 

Mom loved you and your music. You 

really added a lot to her stay at Western 

Horizons. Thanks also to Paulette 

Ellison for playing the piano for the 

service. You did a wonderful job. 

Dr. Hoerauf and staff at the Hettinger 

Hospital and the Nurses and aides at 

the nursing home we thank you for 

your tender care for her. She was not 

always happy to be there but made 

the most of it with your help. Thanks 

to Ray Huber and Evanson-Jensen 

Funeral Home for their courteous 

ways and to the Presbyterian Ladies 

for the delicious meal. 

As we travel down the path in the future 

she will be greatly missed, but 

has made her way home to be with 

the Lord and Dad as well as loved 

ones and friends. For that we are all 

thankful. 

A memorial has been established to 

the First Presbyterian Church in 

Bison where she was a faithful member. 

Once again thanks for your support 

and concern for the family.
