Jerilyn "Jeri"
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. - Jeff-
lyn "Jeff" Hanson Brost of Chippewa
Falls passed away Friday, June 30,
2017, following complications from
posterior cortical atrophy, a rare form
of Alzheimer's disease.
She was born Jan. 3, 1946, the
start of the Baby Boom. Her parents
were Arthur "Art" Hanson, who died
before her birth, and Evangeline
"Vangie" (Uelman) Hanson of
Beach.
In her prime, Jeri was wildly ir-
reverent, outrageous and sarcastic but
without being unkind, vulgar or cyn-
ical. She was wicked smart, laugh out
loud funny, and her heart was as big
as the North Dakota sky.
Jeri loved stories in all forms -
reading, going to movies, listening to
the radio, watching television and,
above all, a good conversation.
She saw the world through an au-
thor's eyes. Her husband, Gerald
"Jerry" Brost, was her great love
story. They met as students at North
Dakota State University. He majored
in engineering; she majored in "arts
and flowers." She had a boyfriend but
Jerry had a guitar and boldly sere-
naded her with "That Boy's No Good
for You" in front of the unsuspecting
guy. For the rest of her life she would
be "crazy mad" for him, only willing
to leave him for Elvis or Paul New-
man.
They were children of the sixties,
leaning more to social justice than
free love. In college, she did social
work at an Indian reservation and
graduated with a degree in sociology
and psychology. The couple married
and lived in North Dakota, New Jer-
sey and New York before settling in
Wisconsin.
Together they had four children;
Jeffrey Arthur, Jason, Kirstin and
Josh. All four believe themselves to
be her favorite and all four are likely
right. Their home was filled with
happy chaos; a mix of love, laughter,
good food and naughty pets. In the
difficult years since her diagnosis,
Jerry devoted himself to ensuring she
had the best possible life.
Jeri believed in serving the com-
munity. From 1984 to 2014 she was a
member of the Chippewa County
Board of Supervisors, one of a hand-
ful of women. Over the years, her fel-
low board members elected her to
serve in a number of leadership posi-
tions. She was most interested in
county programs that helped those in
greatest need. She was proud to vol-
unteer for the Chippewa Area Men-
tor Program and loved delivering
Meals on Wheels.
Jeri was a loyal Democrat. Her
passion for politics was motivated by
a very real, personal understanding of
the impact government policies have
on individual lives. Her mother raised
four daughters and a stepsister as a
single morn. Vangie always worked
multiple exhausting jobs but consid-
ered New Deal programs her salva-
tion. Each night's prayers ended with
"God bless Art and God bless FDR."
Jeri was the smartest person in the
room and had an infectious enthusi-
asm for learning. She was a voracious
reader and public radio addict.
She always appreciated the beauty
in the world around her. Her home is
filled with thrift store finds. Her
heaven was Christiansen's florist in
February or Klinger's gardens in
spring. "If ever you doubt the exis-
tence of God, visit a greenhouse," she
said.
Hanson Brost
She made the best chocolate chip
cookies. People would line up at bake
sales waiting for her apple pies. Hol-
idays at her house were magical - the
decorations, the food, the mountains
of Betty Crocker cookies - and every-
one was invited to her table.
Jeff's core motivation was love. If
she knew you, she mothered you. Her
door was always open if you needed
to talk, ask advice, get a pep talk, or
a eat cookie. When Jeff believed in
you, you felt like you could do any-
thing. When misfortune hit, she
would show up with a little some-
thing and a big hug that said you were
loved.
And her love was returned. Jeri's
friends stood by her through thick
and thin. Long after it was easy, they
would show up to visit, and today
they console her grateful family.
For the last 10 years, Jeff did well
to live her best life even as
Alzheimer's stole so much from her.
She still insisted she was luckier than
others. Faced with the catastrophic
diagnosis, she would trek to
Rochester for a study to help Mayo
Clinic find answers for fighting the
disease. And she never failed to enjoy
a beautiful day, a pretty flower, Diet
Pepsi, Olson's ice cream, or Sokup's
fresh corn. Until the end, she found
joy in her husband, children and
grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband
Jerry; sisters Helen (Leroy) Adams of
Lake Arrowhead, Calif.; Harriett
(Jack) B]0tk of TacOma, Wash.; and
Ardi (Maynard) Bury of Kent, Wash.;
and children and grandchildren Jef-
frey Arthur Brost of New York, N.Y.
; Jason, Anne Marie, Henry and
Tommy Brost of Falls Church, Va.;
Kirstin, Chris and Iris Grantham of
Hugo, Minn.; and Josh Brost and fi-
ancee Maggie Abernathy of Wash-
ington D.C.
She was preceded in death by her
parents; her husband's parents Ray
and Elizabeth (Sickler) Brost of
Dickinson; and grandson Elliott
Grantham.
A visitation was held Friday
evening, July 7, from 4-8 p.m. at
Horan Funeral Home in Chippewa
Falls. There was a Christian vigil ser-
vice at 7:30 plm. on Friday at the fu-
neral home.
The funeral was held at 10:30 a.m.
on Saturday at St. Charles Catholic
Church• The Rev. Dan Oudenhoven
was the celebrant of the funeral Mass.
Interment was in Hope Cemetery in
Chippewa Falls. Lunch at the Heyde
Center for the Arts followed.
In lieu of flowers, please consider
a gift to the Heyde Center or the
Alzheimer's Association.

Edward Crook
HILO, Hawaii - Edward Crook
died unexpectedly of a heart attack at
his home in Hilo, Hawaii. The fam-
ily was notified the last part of May.
He lived alone so the exact time of
his death is unknown.
Edward was born in Beach on
April 6, 1931, the son of Fredwin and
Lizzie (Omley) Crook. He attended
Trotters School in his elementary
years and graduated from the Beach
High School with the class of 1951.
He served in the Korean Conflict
and went on to graduate with honors
from Cal Poly in California. He spent
the last 30 years working, and retir-
ing in Hawaii.
He is survived by one son in
Cedar Creek, Texas, and sibling Fred
Crook of Hereford, Texas, and Joyce
Fjelstad of Watford City. He also had
numerous nephews and nieces.

Start planning for next year
Mother Nature has changed
everything - again.
The upper Midwest's dry to
drought conditions have changed
stocking rates, challenged pasture
rotation schedules, hastened the
end-grazing date, and limited cow
and calf condition scores. Producers
need to work through the present
and take steps to minimize the ef-
fects of this year's drought on next
year's production.
By weaning and pregnancy
checking early, thin, pregnant cows
have a chance to improve condition
once the calves are weaned. Move
out any open or late-bred cows.
Wean the calf early, and pay atten-
tion to the markets for a good time
for selling the calf.
An important point still remains:
Much of the country is not short on
feed, and timely marketing in re-
sponse to the broader market trends
is important. Finding a way to hold
the calves to allow for a good mar-
ket strategy is good common sense.
But keeping the calves gaining in a
dry lot takes some homework. For
now, focus on the cow and wisely
stretch the feed on the good keeper
COWS.
The cows will not come off in
normal condition, and do not put off
what is inevitable - thin pregnant
cows. So start looking at feed re-
sources, and once the calves are
weaned - earlier than later this fall -
the dry cow needs to put back on
some condition.
The nutritional requirements of a
cow whose calf was weaned are
lower when milk production ceases.
So the thought for the day is: If one
buys feed, why not plan on feeding
when the cow can better use the
feed?
Waiting to add condition to a
thin cow is difficult. The cow ad-
vances daily in fetal growth. The
third trimester of pregnancy will be
here soon and the cow will need to
be eating to support the accelerated
growth of the calf. Plus, the poten-
tial harshness of the upcoming win-
ter will demand more thermal
output to survive. Her daily feed in-
take will be needed to keep the un-
born calf growing and stoking her
interna! furnace for'heat,
To make matters worse, as soon
as she calves next spring, all hands
on deck because milk production
kicks in as the cow turns into a per-
petual milking machine. Feed in,
milk out is not a time to be in poor
condition. So when hay is expen-
sive, feed it when it will do the most
good - this coming fall. And do not
rule out additional pasture supple-
ments, or dry lot the cows and add
grain to the ration this fall.
Again, the point is: Thin cows
gain weight in the fall with less
feed. The cow is pregnant, but the
fetus is not quite so demanding. In
the fall, the cow does not have to set
aside some of what she eats to sim-
ply keep warm. She feels good, not
like in late pregnancy, when she has
to carry well in excess of 100 to 200
pounds of extra weight balanced on
legs and pelvis meant to come apart
on short notice.
The bottom line: Be nice to the
cow and let her gain a little weight
and put some flesh on this fall. Tra-
ditional timing and the business of
upcoming fall work can cause one
to miss this point. Skimping, skimp-
ing and skimping some more, and
hoping the cows will survive until
grass next spring, is poor planning.
Thin cows always have that
same look while walking single file,
looking for feed where none is
available, cautious with slight anx-
iety. Early weaned, those thin cows
have a chance to gain some easy
weight.
Cuntrary tu th~ tendency to l~t
the cows rough it a little more in the
nice weather, saving feed for win-
ter, is not a good idea. While some
think every week of saving feed is
money in the pocket, that is not ex-
actly true once a producer has made
the needed cuts in inventory.
In summary, cows calving in
March and April enter the third
trimester in December and January,
respectively. One can feed to the
nutritional requirements of the beef
cow; however, the many extenuat-
ing circumstances in late pregnancy
and winter simply may not allow
the replenishing of condition and
muscle lost during a very dry sum-
mer.
This process starts a vicious
cycle, where if the cows are calved
too thin, the calves will be deprived
of adequate colostrum, calves get
sick and the cows do not rebreed on
time to maintain a 365-day calving
interval.
If this cycle repeats itself next
year, the culling rate goes up and
the overall health of the cow, and
particularly the calf, is put in jeop-
ardy. So do not skimp in hopes of
saving a few dollars. Reduce the
qow numbers to meet the current es-
timated feed inventory.
This all seems to be rather com-
plicated, but Mother Nature is
tough, and running a business with
Mother Nature as the primary part-
ner is not easy. Passive planning
and response is not the answer.
Decide today to visit your local
Extension agent or nutritionist. In-
vest in feed cautiously, and target
feed for the best cow response. Ag-
gressively deal with inventory num-
bers, plan for next spring now and
remember that when the weather is
nice and the cows are thin, feed
them.

Bison injures visitor in TRNP
THEODORE ROOSEVELT NA-
TIONAL PARK - A visitor was in-
jured by a bison in the North Unit of
Theodore Roosevelt National Park
on Friday, June 30.
Michael Turk, 65, from Juneau,
Alaska, was hiking on the Buckhorn
Trail between 9-10:30 p.m. CDT to
take photos of the sunset. He had en-
countered a bison on the way to his
photo location and 2ave it a wide
berth. He stopped to take additional
photos of another bison he encoun-
tered while returning to Juniper
Campground. Turk recalled that
sometime while he was photograph-
ing the bison, it turned toward him
and charged. He lost consciousness
and sustained a large laceration on
his left inner thigh in addition to
other cuts and bruises, according to a
July 7 statement from park head-
quarters in Medora.
Turk was able to hike to the trail-
head, where he saw another bison.
He climbed a short distance up a
nearby butte and began calling for
help. Hearing Turk's calls for help,
seven campers arrived at the trail-
head and found Turk about 50 yards
away, with a bison between them.
Unable to haze the bison away, one
of the campers discharged a handgun
into the ground, scaring the bison out
of the area. The group helped Turk to
the trailhead, dressed his wound, and
drove him to meet emergency re-
sponders.
McKenzie County Sheriffs Office
and park rangers met the group near
the park entrance. A McKenzie
County ambulance transported Turk
to the hospital. He vCas'Jfred~d at
McKenzie County Hospital and.later
