He should be prosecuted for multiple crimes. I hate these political dynasty families. Almost always bad news for America.

“His preaching was legendary.”
MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS AT ONE CHURCH!
A long-time pastor in South Dakota and the voice of a long-running Christian television program, Rev. Harold Salem, has died. He had celebrated his 99ᵗʰ birthday this past summer. He started his career as a pastor at the age of 23.
“His first job in June 1944 was at First Baptist Church in his hometown of Belle Fourche. He stayed there for a little over 13 years before he moved to Aberdeen where he spent the next 52 years and eight months as pastor at Aberdeen’s First Baptist Church. Salem started broadcasting his sermons on the Christian Worship Hour in 1979.”
Though he retired in 2010, he continued working on the television show, which was broadcast around the world.
“He loved what he did and was totally absorbed in his work. His preaching was legendary.”

Starting Over
INSPIRATION DURING TRYING TIMES
“I’m going to start all over again. It’s not easy but it’s not impossible either. You have to be a little tough in situations like this,” says Artemio Guterrez, a single father of four who just returned to Oregon from his mother’s funeral in Mexico only to have his home burned down by a wildfire.

More than half a million Oregonians evacuate
THAT IS MORE THAN 12%
OF THE STATE’S POPULATION
SALEM, Ore. — Authorities in Oregon report that more than 500,000 people statewide have been forced to evacuate because of wildfires. That’s over 12% of the state’s 4.2 million population. The number includes convicts from at least three jails and prisons. None have been released, just relocated.

Watertown Appleby Foley Grover Kampeska Pelican Rauville Waverly
I just had to make a hashtag out of it
I was looking through a genealogical database while at the local library the other day and decided to probe the Social Security Death Index.
In my grandfather’s file, there’s a long list of towns, places where he worked, I think. This is rather unusual. Most files only list one place, the last residence of the person.
Grandpa began working as a cashier at the age of 16 at a bank in Grover, South Dakota. It was called the State Bank of Grover. His older brother Herman worked there too. I think the bank went under in 1921, the same year as a robbery a la Bonnie and Clyde.
He worked in goverment for many years, first with the Works Progress Administration, then as the city and county auditor, in Watertown, South Dakota and Codington County. This may explain why his file is so thorough, because he was. Every year he helped many file their taxes.
I am assuming the list, chronologically, is backwards. It may also indicate where he and the family lived. Thus, his first job was at Waverly, where his parents lived for many years. Next is Rauville, where his parents were buried. I don’t know anything about Pelican. Kampeska is the name of the lake to the northwest of Watertown, and Grandpa owned a house there. His parents lived there for awhile. Next is Grover, followed by Foley and Appleby, two more places I know nothing about. And finally there is Watertown, where he lived and worked most of his life.

Icy snowballs fall from the sky in South Dakota
Despite the progress in technology and civilization, places such as South Dakota remain harsh environments.

Fasnachts! Kinda like donuts & from Pennsylvania Dutch country!
courtesy of Denise Bachman of the Observer-Reporter
“Another food of choice on Shrove Tuesday are fasnachts, a yeast-raised, fatty doughnut-like treat traditionally eaten in Pennsylvania Dutch country. Fasnachts are made from potato dough and are fried. They became popular in the southeastern part of the state when Pennsylvania Germans started to make them as a convenient and easy way to use up the fat and sugar in their pantries before Lent. Fasnacht is German for ‘fast night.’”
