The oldest of threechildren, Melford hasone brother, HaroldKoester, of Rapid City,South Dakota, and onesister, Dolores(Koester) Miller, who isdeceased from Pierre,South Dakota.

Melford attendedschool and graduatedin 1945 from VivianHigh School, Home ofthe Bearcats.

He worked on hisfather's farm throughhis school years. As ayoung boy he was ac-tive in sports.

Melford marriedBecky Moross on Octo-

ber 10, 1949 at theMethodist Church in Murdo. They had three sons, Doug, Dan and Fred.

Melford and Becky continued to live and work on his father's farm inVivian. He also drove a school bus, sold eggs and cream from the farmto make ends meet.

In 1956 Melford took a job as manager with the elevator in Quinn, SD.In 1958 Melford moved his family to Wall, SD, to work at the elevatorthere. They eventually moved to Murdo, and he continued to managethe elevator there until about 1978. He worked at Moore Building Center

in Murdo until 1987. He then worked for the United States Postal Serviceand was a mail carrier until he semi-retired in 1995.

Melford and Becky hosted several foreign exchange students fromBrazil and Sweden during the 1970s. They had the opportunity to visitthem in the homes of their own countries as well.

They traveled extensively in their lifetime. They visited Hawaii, Ger-many, Sweden, Brazil, the Pyramid's in Egypt, the Great Wall of Chinaand many other places.

Melford's greatest joys are his 10 grandchildren and 12 great grand-children.

Melford has always enjoyed sports. Any sport that was being playedwas an interest of his. His main interest was baseball and he excelled inthis sport.

In 1950 he and his friends were playing baseball in the old dusty parkin Vivian when professional baseball scouts happened to be passingthrough. They stopped and watch the game that was in progress. On thespot they asked Melford if he would be interested in trying out for theCincinnati Reds baseball team and offered him a position with a farmclub that belonged to the team. This meant he would have to move hisfamily from the farm and to another state. He declined their invitationand this was one regret that has always stayed with him.

Melford has always enjoyed conversation with just about anyone. Hehas coached softball, baseball and been involved with about every com-munity organization that there is, such as Lions Club, school board, and

city council.Melford is always an easygoing and kindhearted fellow. He is veryfunny to listen to. The staff enjoys having him as a resident at the nursinghome, as he always has a smile to share.

We want to congratulate Melford Koester for being selected as KadokaNursing Home Resident of the Month.

just traveling through.

According to law enforcement,Tom Kukal encountered the moun-tain lion as it ran in front of hispickup while driving east on PoplarStreet. He said it crossed in front ofhis pickup from the south side ofthe road over to Bob Words drive-

way. It then continued throughWords driveway and headed north.

Sheila Herbaugh was the next tosee the mountain lion. She spottedthe lion near the Catholic Church.

Steve and Brian Doughty sawthe lion near the Ponderosa Motel,and then continued to watch as itcrossed Highway 284 to the north.

They told authorities that itthen traveled into the vegetation

Read Psalm 51A church deacon once confessed a horrible sin in a socialmedia site. After giving a description of what hed done,the man commented, I know theres a price to pay forthis sin now. And that price is death.

Not only was his heart broken over what he had done; he also knew that the effect on his friends andfamily would be devastating. And yet, overshadowing his remorse was fear. He had become afraid of God,believing that the sovereign Lord of the universe was now out to get him.

What would you say to this believer? Does his statement reflect an appropriate view of Gods response tosin?

Its true that Romans 6:23 clearly teaches that the wages of sin is death; however, this sorrowful youngman had overlooked the all-important second half of the verse: but the free gift of God is eternal life inChrist Jesus our Lord. If our Father gives us a gift, we can trust that He will never take it away; it becomesours to keepthats what a gift is. We did nothing to deserve it, so we can do nothing to lose it. It all restson Gods initiative.

Moreover, a greater theological principle is at work here. If the believers sin after salvation could requiredeathor any form of punishmentthen Jesus sacrifice was insufficient. However, the Bible tells us thatJesus death was wholly sufficient and a once-for-all payment of mankinds sin debt (Heb. 10:10).

Either Jesus blood does cover our sins, or it doesnt. Theres no middle ground. The Holy Spirit, Christswords, and biblical testimony clearly assert that it does.

Meals forthe Elderly

39 million Americans or 13% ofthe U.S. population are 65 andolder, and our nations 76 millionbaby boomers are just beginning toturn 65. A timely 2009 Pew Re-search poll on growing old, foundencouraging words as well as a siz-able gap between the expectationsof young people and what actuallyhappens.

The survey asked about nega-tive benchmarks of aging such asillness, memory loss, inability todrive, an end to sexual activity,loneliness and depression, and dif-

ficulty paying bills. The study dis-covered that younger peoplethought elderly would experiencemore problems of aging than actu-ally occurred. Its good to knowthey were wrong.

I found it encouraging that only40% of those aged 85 or older expe-rienced significant memory loss,only 30% experienced feeling sador depressed, only 25% no longerdrove, and the vast majority hadmade peace with their circum-stances, with only 1% that saidtheir lives had turned out worsethan expected.

But in contrast the survey alsoasked about benefits of aging suchas spending more time with family,traveling for pleasure, havingmore time for hobbies, and doingvolunteer work. Younger peoplethought the elderly would experi-

ence more of these benefits thanactually occurred. Thats disap-pointing.

But what is encouraging, thesurvey found that older peoplewere just as happy as everyoneelse, and the same factors for allages predicted it: good health, goodfriends, and some degree of finan-cial security.

The widest gap in old versusyoung, not surprisingly, was thepercentage of young versus oldusing the Internet, cell phones,and social networking, although

that is changing. Another gap ofinterest was the rate of religionbeing an important part of oneslife. Not surprisingly, 66% of thoseover 65 said religion is importantto them, compared to 50% of those30-49, and 44% of those 18-29.

I was encouraged to learn that75% of those 65 and older said theyhave talked with their familyabout end-of-life matters, and thatthe majority of these conversationswere initiated by the parent anddirected to their adult children.

Finally it was heartwarming tolearn that of all the good thingsabout getting old, the older adultsby far chose as their favorite:spending more time with familymembers, especially grandchil-dren.

Dont have any of those yet, butI have expectations.

Some surprises are rather fun.Others are less so. One pleasantsurprise this week was when anunknown plant in our rock borderthrew out a huge white flower. Iwalk by that area almost everyday and had noticed this plantwhich I could never quite identify.

At first I thought it might be acocklebur. Then I wondered if itcould be some sort of sunflower.Other possibilities came to mind,but I was never quite sure enoughit was a weed to make myself pullit out. Of course, there was a rag-weed nearby that I recognized alltoo well and didnt pull either, butthis one at least was a little too in-teresting to consider uprooting.

So, a couple of days ago I no-ticed this foot-high plant throwingout a big flower stalk in the mid-dle. I watched it with interest. Fi-nally, last evening, it unfurled. Itwas a large white trumpet-likeblossom about the size of those yousee on Easter lilies and somewhatsimilar except the edges were morerounded and not as fluted. Theword, moonflower, came to mind,but I wasnt really sure why. Ishowed the posy to wife Corinnewho also thought it might be that

flower. She went on the Internet todo a bit of research and shortlyfound a photo that proved we didindeed have a moonflower inbloom in the front yard. Nifty.They are supposed to smell reallygood, but so far I havent gottendown on hands and knees to findout. Maybe later.

Thinking back, I have probablyonly seen moonflowers twice be-fore in my life. The first was backin grade or high school when one ofour neighbors in town had a bunchof them. They were rather impres-sive since they were big and nicesmelling. Quite a few years later, Iremember seeing some over atBarb and Teds ranch some sixmiles from us. They too had a lot ofthem and seemed to think theywere quite fine. Even that lattersighting of these flowers was wellover twenty years ago so the mem-

ory of them was not as active as itmight once have been. Anyway,having a pretty and interestingplant grow up and flower all on itsown was a nice surprise, especiallywhen you have no idea how it gotthere.

Then we come to surprises thatare slightly less enjoyable. One ofthose was also last evening afterthe flower experience. As it hap-pened, some weeks ago a tornadoor other strong wind tore the roof

off a machine/shop shed at ourriver place and tossed it over northtowards the river. On the way by,that pile of wood and twisted metaldid some damage to our big JohnDeere tractor such as bending thesmokestack over, nudging the ra-diator a little etc. In any event, thetractor needed to be fixed.

I had considerable difficulty infinding a way to get the thing totown for repair, but John finallycame through with a truck and amethod. The tractor was loadedand taken to town. Unfortunately,the loading took longer than ex-pected so the unloading wouldhave to be after dark. Since themachine was going to our mailmanwho is also experienced in tractorrepair, the delivery to him wasslightly out of town and John wasunsure of the exact location. Hecalled and asked me to serve as aguide which was fine with me. Imet them by the sale barn andconfidently led them east.

Before long, however, confusionset in. I didnt recognize the land-marks. When we finally came to apaved road, surprise, surprise, Irealized I had no idea where onearth we were although we were

less than a mile from town. Like Isaid, some surprises are not sogreat. In this case, there was littleleft to do but retrace our steps andtry again. This area, by the way,has several roads meeting in asmall area and all leading differ-ent directions. Instead of headingstraight east, I had gotten con-fused in the dark and gone north-east. When we then tried goingstraight east instead of northeast,that soon got us to where wewanted to be. The tractor was dulyunloaded, and we could all gohome. I told John that I could mis-direct him to several other placesif he wanted before I left, but hesaid they were fine and could prob-ably somehow muddle their ownway home without my help. Thiswas apparently a case of the blindleading the unsure, but John wasnow sure enough of his bearings to

get by without me.So, yesterday was full of sur-

prises. At least it wasnt dull. Ieven later had to chuckle a bitabout getting lost when I was sosure I easily knew the way. Ahwell, today has been fairlystraightforward. No odd plantsgrowing up and flowering and noroads leading to nowhere. I cantdecide which was better, yesterdayor today. I guess both were okay.

Weeds have really challenged allthe gardeners in this area. They(like everything else) are reallygrowing. We are not complaining,

just working hard to help the gar-dens and flower beds get ahead abit. Maxine Allard described hergarden as a lovely jungle. It is atypical July in South Dakota, hot!The winter wheat is ripening andcombines are waiting. Folks arestill haying, too! After last yearsdrought we are not letting any-thing green and growing go towaste.

Drought concerns eased lastmonth, with widespread rainfalland near average temperatures inSouth Dakota. At this point, the cli-mate outlook for July remains un-certain.

Copious amounts of rain fell inthe northeastern counties in June,said Laura Edwards, South DakotaState University Extension climatefield specialist. Some locations re-ported three to five inches aboveaverage rainfall for the month.That is nearly double average forthose areas between Marshall andDeuel counties.

Edwards added that the south-western corner of South Dakota re-mains in moderate to severedrought going in to the month ofJuly. Unfortunately, the southernBlack Hills and areas between FallRiver and Todd counties continuedto be much drier than average inJune, said Edwards.

Climatologically, the summer istraditionally a dry season for thosecounties. This, Edwards explained,means that further drought recov-ery will be unlikely in the comingmonths. As temperatures in-crease, so does water demand byplants, animals and people, shesaid.

Edwards said according to thelatest monthly and seasonaldrought outlooks from the climate

prediction center a drought is ex-pected to persist in this area forJuly and through September.

Junes temperatures have helpedcrop producers across the state,said Dennis Todey, SDSU state cli-matologist. Temperatures in Junewere slightly below average for themonth, but nothing like what thestate experienced earlier this year,Todey said. Statewide, June tem-perature was just a degree or twobelow the long term average. Thiscreated a nice environment for cropgrowth and rangeland recoveryover the last few weeks."

By the end of June, corn fieldsappeared to be in good shape, andsoybean fields were improving.

A path of severe storms passedthrough eastern South Dakota on

June 21. Most reports indicate thatdamaged fields were able to be re-planted after hail, high winds andtornadoes affected the US 212 cor-ridor that afternoon.

Looking ahead to the month ofJuly, Todey said computer climatemodels are scattered in their pre-dictions for the Northern Plains.There are no clear signs of wetteror drier than average conditions forthe month, he said. Extended pe-riods of excessive heat dont seemto be forthcoming.

In the early part of the month,models predict that South Dakotawill be in the path of cooler anddrier air from Canada, as highpressure sits in the western UnitedStates.

This isnt to say we are entirelycut off from moisture, Todey said.We will likely get small amountsof rainfall here and there frommore sporadic thunderstorms.

Edwards and Todey agreed thatthe early part of July will be pleas-ant. The sunny skies and moder-ately warm temperatures will be aboon to gardens and row crops inthe region, and will also prevent se-vere heat issues for livestock.

My how times have changed.When they built the apartmentbuilding, they had welcome partiesfor the new residents, entertain-ment games, friendly people, intro-ductions, socializing and gettingaquainted with everyone. There

does not seem to be the interest inthose activities anymore.I accompanied Chris and Ani-

talynn Riggins to the rodeo for inWall on Saturday evening to watchDylan ride a bull. I am hearingChris and Anitalynn went to theKadoka rodeo arena to watch himride a bull this last Sunday after-noon.
