Judge Dawn Elshere Suspends Sentence

in Meth Case Kevin Abrahamson was sentenced on the class 5 felony charge of unau- thorized possession of a controlled substance in schedules I or II in Third Circuit Court Tuesday, Septem- ber 29, in Milbank. Judge Elshere sentenced Abra- hamson to four years in the South Dakota State Penitentiary with a sus- pended execution. She ordered him to pay an $800 fine and court costs, be on supervised probation for three years, serve 90 days of house arrest, and obey the terms and conditions of the probation. “The defendant is 59 years old, and takes care of his elderly mother in Milbank,” said Mark Reed- strom, Grant County state’s attorney. “That was the reason for the house arrest provision.” The maximum sentence would have been five years in the state pen and a fine of up to $10,000. The case stemmed from an incident in which the South Dakota Highway Patrol conducted a traffic stop on the defendant, and discovered metham- phetamine in his vehicle.

August also operated a hardware store and dealt in farm implements in Waubay. He was considered the most successful thresher in his com- munity for 18 years. Hovland was in- terested in the constantly increasing demand for labor-saving farm ma- chinery. August developed Parkinson’s around 1920, and passed away three years before Brennan was born. “I wish I would’ve known him. I’m overly proud of my grandfather, and I’ve always been impressed by his work,” said Brennan. “My grand- mother lived until 1974 —she was 93 years old. She never really talked about my grandfather’s invention, I suppose because it never really took off.” Brennan has visited the Western Development Museum in Saskatchewan, Canada, to see the re- stored version of his grandfather’s machinery, but that was more than 40 years ago. “We are planning to go again, but we haven’t made it yet,” added Brennan. Brennan grew up on a farm near his grandfather’s land and followed in his footsteps. He earned a degree in agricultural operations from South Dakota State University in Brookings in 1967, and then farmed. He and his wife, Jackie, had four children and one son still continues to farm today. Brennan helps out when he can. —Logan Karels Community Connection Grant County Review • October 7, 2020 9

September 20, 1883 William H. Rethke is probably the happiest and most contented farmer in Dakota. While not having as many acres of land broken and under cultiva- tion as some of his neighbors, what he has under cultivation has been tilled to the best advantage as his magnificent yield of wheat unmistakably shows. “What is worth doing at all is worth doing well” is farmer Rethke’s motto, and when he plows and drags his land he does so thoroughly. Not one or two draggings, but four or five. In this way he pulverizes the soil and gets it in proper condition for successful wheat growing. From 34 acres he threshed 878 bushels machine measure, an aver- age of 26 bushels, lack a very small fraction. By weight the wheat averaged nearly 28 bushels per acre. Every kernel of this wheat was No. 1 hard, and while the elevators were grading other wheat No. 3 soft they graded and paid Mr. Rethke for No. 1 hard and deducted nothing for dirt. The variety was the Swamp Fife, and one bushel and three pecks was sown to the acre. The Paul Bros. did the threshing and Mr. Rethke did the “square” thing by paying the crew a dollar apiece extra wages and set up a keg of beer in the bargain. While threshing, Mr. J. H. King, a neighbor, astonished the farmers present by build- ing a square straw stack in the wind. The sides and corners were perfectly even, a thing that made every one pres- ent open his eyes with astonishment to know how it was done.
