Wow, what a snowy month
we've had. It's cold outside but
warm in here. We are thankful for
the long halls and activity room so
we can take our walks inside.
Thursday began with Mass,
exercises, then we went downtown
to do our errands, get groceries and
other appointments. In the after-
noon we had a Welcome 2010 party
- we played games, did trivia about
the new year, had chips, dip and
sparkling cider.
Friday morning we had our hair
done by Gloria Hendry, Marlene
Muruato and Lois Ferebee. We
enjoyed having coffee and cookies
in the dining room and our devotion
time with Pastor Warren and Bev
Maxted was in the evening. Kay
Jones played the piano for us.
Saturday morning exercises
were led by Eileen Buchholz, and in
the afternoon we played games
while we had coffee. Word and
Communion was held Sunday
morning.
Monday morning Bible study
was led by Lorna Holzwarth.
Phyllis Jessen visited her mother
Pearl Olstad, and Bev Wolff's
daughter, Dawn Egan, visited at the
Manor in the afternoon.
Tuesday morning we did our
exercises, adoration followed in the
chapel and in the afternoon we
made yellow roses and green leaf
mints for our tea on Thursday.
Pastor Dave and Renee McGuillion
led devotions in the evening. Helen
Reiter celebrated her birthday
today, and Linda Tvedt visited
Juanita Baird. We enjoyed the mas-
sages Marlene gave us in the after-
noon.
Wednesday, Deb Weninger visit-
ed her mother, Marvel Musselman;
they enjoyed visiting in the activity
room with other Manor friends.
Today we are featuring Pearl
Olstad. Her information was pro-
vided by her daughter, Phyllis
Jessen.
Pearl Irene was born on a hot
July 14 day at her aunt Mary's
homestead north of Sentinel Butte.
Her parents were Loyd and Lena
Yates. When Pearl and her mother
could travel, they went by horse and
buggy to their homestead in the
hills. She was her mother's little
helper, making pies, reading, and
learning to sew clothes for her
dolls. Her parents moved west of
Sentinel Butte where she graduated
as valedictorian.
She went to Rochester, Minn.,
after graduation to work and visit
family and then moved back home
to work at the old Sentinel Butte
Hotel until she married Harmon
Olstad in Wibaux, Mont., on
Halloween. They made their home a
mile from where she grew up.
She and Harmon would raise
five children on a ranch by Graner
Creek and later moved to the
Stoddard ranch, which would
become their home with modern
conveniences. Pearl was active in
Eastern Star and finally served as
Worthy Matron. After losing her
husband, she came to live in Beach
where she finally had time to begin
her oil painting. Her family has
been the recipients of her labor of
love. She also has designed many
beautiful quilts over the years and
still has the ironing board and
sewing machine set up in her room
at the Manor, where she has lived
for several years. She has made
quilts for all her family and is now
making one for her great-great
granddaughter. Pearl has been one
of our featured resident artists at the
Manor, and we treasurer her and her
talent.
The blizzard that came through
last weekend managed to close
schools and some businesses down
for a day or two. Though the storm
was pretty well done by mid-morn-
ing on Monday in Golden Valley
County, many of the roads still had
to be plowed out for residents to be
able to get out.
Rick Olson, who drives the
school bus for the Billings County
School District, didn't have to go
in on Monday and Tuesday, as the
Medora school was closed. But he
and a handful from the Sentinel
Butte area, which included Val
Obrigewitch, Dean Van Horn,
Dennis Dietz and Pete Novotny,
were busy plowing streets, alleys,
and in some cases, driveways.
Darrell Feldman, Keith
Farstveet, Bob Lee and Barry
S chafer spent Wednesday after-
noon at the home of Don and Rella
Abernethy. Nancy Schafer joined
all of them later for supper.
Dean Wyckoff from Billings,
Mont., arrived at the home of his
parents, Jim and Marj Wyckoff, on
his way to participate in the Devils
Lake Fishing Derby.
Thursday, Grace Cash traveled
to Dickinson to spend the day with
her aunt, Ida Schaeffer, at St.
Benedict's Health Center.

Snow! Kept waiting for the
storm that was forecast for last
Friday and then on Saturday when it
finally came, it was much worse
than anticipated. We were soon
snowbound.
The patio doors on the east were
completely covered and to see out, I
stood on a stool. We have five
doors by which we can go outside
and all were snowed shut. On
Tuesday, we were finally liberated.
Had plenty of food and no power
outages.
Bernie Schillo is doing much
better after being taken to St Alexius
Hospital in Bismarck last week.
Tom and Vidette Schillo, Jim and
Mary Ann, Chuck, Teresa of Reno
and other members of the family
have been .in Bismarck to be with
Melissa, Kjersten, Kelsey, Peder
and Desiree Michels, while he has
been hospitalized. Jim and Mary
Ann were leaving after school on
Friday to go back to Bismarck.
There are probably others who have
been there tobe with the family and
if so, I apologize for not naming
them. We are also so glad that
Bernie is better. °
Jenny R0st was a surgical
patient at St. Alexius Hospital in
Bismarck for a few days. Mike and
Doris Berger brought her back to
Dickinson earlier this week.
Harry Zachmann has also been a
patient at St Alexius, and we wish
him well.
The prayer line at Golva has
been activated for Veronica Susa of
Grafton, who is having knee sur-
gery. She is the daughter of the late
Martin and Gertie Susa of Golva.
There was no school at the
Golva School on Monday because
of the storm. Several residences in
the area were without power, too.
I have saved some good news
until the last. Former resident, Dr.
Elaine Moen and her husband,
Brian Sperl of Indianapolis are the
proud, parents of twin baby girls.
They arrived on Jan. 8, and Mom
and girls are doing fine. They have
been given the names of Medora
and Ericka. Congratulations to them
all.
From the lessons of life by a 90-

Friday evening. On Saturday, Lisa
and Gabe went to spend time with
her parents, Marvin and Janice

Thought for the week: There
comes an hour of sadness with the
setting of the sun, not just for the
sins committed, but for the things I
have not done.
Feb. 4, 1960:
Publisher home after surgery
Walt Bratton, publisher of the
Golden Valley News and the Billings
County Pioneer, returned to his apart-
ment in Beach last Thursday from
Rugby, where he spent about two
weeks convalescing at the home of his
mother, Mrs. L. H. Bratton. His broth-
er-in-law, Frank Homstein, publisher
of the Rugby Tribune, drove Bratton's
car home.
Homstein returned home the fol-
lowing day, taking a plane from
Dickinson to Minot, and going via car
from there to Rugby, with Bill
Kurkoski of Beach taking him to the
Dickinson airport in Mr. Bratton's car.
The latter is still very weak from his
long illness and lung surgery, but is
gaining slowly in strength each day,
but must not be too active for several
weeks yet.
Sentinel Butte tower topples
One of the three large U. S: Bureau
of Reclamation towers atop sentinel
Butte collapsed during the night this
Monday, Feb. 1, probably from the
heavy coating of frost and high winds.
The ponderous structure was thought
to have been securely built and
braced. It is believed that the guy
wires on the southwest side of the
tower gave way first. With the heavy
weight of the frost coating and the
wind, the tower, erected this past year,
crumpled, and fell to the ground, a
twisted and broken heap.
Several employees of the U. S.
Bureau of Reclamation came out to
inspect the damage Tuesday afternoon

Burglar nabbed
Lee Collins, who gave his address
as Mobridge, S.D., was nabbed by an
alert policeman in Dickinson last
Thursday, Jan. 28, when'Sgt. Bud
Westrum took him into custody, after
Westrum noticed the pickup truck
driven by Collins, and recognized it as
one reported stolen from Glendive.
Collins had burglarized the Super
Valu Store in Beach, owned by Walt
Schweigert, the night before, when he
took a large quantity of cigarettes and
other tobacco products, passing up
about $60 in cash.
Sheriff Ray Zinsli of Beach gave
the tip off about the stolen truck, after
he investigated the break-in at the
Beach store, and heard of the missing
1955 truck, linking the two to the
same person or persons. The break-in
at the Super Valu store was set at about
3 a.m., as that was the time that Mrs.
Ruth Brice, manager of the Hospital
Annex, directly behind the Super Valu
store, reported heating strange noises
coming from the direction of the store.
Zinsli went to Dickinson on Friday
moming, where FBI officials were
present at a heating, and Collins was
turned over to Zinsli, who brought
him back to Beach, where he is now in
jail. The cigarettes were in the truck,
and were retumed to Beach with the
prisoner. Collins was given a heating
on Saturday afternoon, Jan. 30, where
Collins entered a plea of guilty to the
burglary charge, and was bound over
to District Court.
Glendive officials came to Beach
this week, and FBI men are also inter-
ested in Collins, who probably will
have to serve time for the theft of the
pickup, a grand larceny, after complet-
ing his sentence on the Beach burgla-
ry charge.
