SDPB’s Social Media Specialist Heather Benson lives on and operates a small Clay County acreage named “Dalarna Farm,” after a province in central Sweden known for its horses. A fan of Scottish country veterinarian James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small book series since she was a young girl growing up around Menno, Benson reflects on the series’ influence on the cusp of the new Masterpiece adaption premiering January 10 on SDPB.

“Moving a hand carefully around the uterus I began the fascinating business of sorting out the tangle which is just about my favorite job in practice. I had to bring a head and two legs up together in order to deliver a lamb; but they had to belong to the same lamb or I was in trouble.

It was a matter of tracing each leg back to see if it was a hind or a fore, to find if it joined a shoulder or disappeared into the depths.”

– James Herriot, All Things Bright & Beautiful

That single paragraph of Scottish veterinarian James Herriot’s second book is something I pull from my mental reference library each lambing season. His stories provide not just entertainment but an education, of sorts. A sizable portion of the animal husbandry skills I use today on our small farm come to me courtesy of a childhood spent immersed in Herriot’s Yorkshire veterinary practice.

Reading Herriot is how I learned to untangle a jumble of lamb limbs while elbow deep inside an ewe, about giving beer to a grumpy sow (only works if she is a happy, sleepy drunk and not a mean drunk!) and how to work cattle without modern cattle-working facilities. A little James Herriot education goes a long way when you grow up and decide that filling your farm with livestock would be the perfect way to absorb every moment of free time for years to come.

Learn. Dream. Grow.

In the first four years we owned Dalarna Farm, I had the good fortune to combine my literary education from Dr. Herriot with a real-life practicum taught by our local veterinarian, Dr. Larry Lounsbery.

Already 50 years in the field when I first retained his services for an elderly barn cat, “Doc” came to my rescue more times than I care to count. Whether it was rescuing a choking sheep or saving our family dog from an allergic reaction, he met each emergency with the same calm and care Dr. Herriot always brought to his books.

Doc was one of the increasingly rare breed of veterinarians who treat all animals, great and small, in their rural practices. As the veterinary field, like human medicine, becomes more specialized, these practitioners still fill their days with appointments as broad and varied as those found in Herriot’s humble farm practice.

Busy mixed clinics like Dr. Lounsbery’s meant that more often than not, I was his veterinary assistant on farm calls, especially after-hours emergencies.

Without my realization, Doc continued my education, and as our doctor-client relationship grew, Doc came to expect more of me and taught me to expect more of myself.

Consider one Saturday morning when I was about to leave our farm for a funeral. As I did my final walkthrough of the lambing barn, I found a ewe in labor. She was straining, stressed and had at least one week before her due date, so I knew something had gone badly wrong.

Though the morning was chilly and I

was due at the church, I got a bucket of warm soapy water and rolled up my sleeves, just as Dr. Herriot often did on the moors of Yorkshire.

I washed up, reached inside, and hoped for a simple problem. Instead, I discovered the tail and hips of the biggest lamb I’d ever felt. The baby was backwards, with feet facing the wrong way. I needed to get my hand in further and bring his hind legs around so he could come out, but no amount of pushing seemed to make room for my hand. I began to feel as panicky as the ewe, and I knew I needed help.

A frantic call to Doc yielded no good news—Doc was headed into surgery and unable to arrive to our farm for many hours. I was on my own.

And yet I was not. (continued on p. 23)

Glean for Good From Newton Hills, Dakota Life travels to Garretson to meet Dr. Beth Jensen. A family medicine physician, Dr. Jensen turned her family’s sustainable acreage into “Glean for Good,” where visitors can usually get their hands dirty and learn about living off the land. During the pandemic, Dr. Jensen has pivoted to “Glean Screen Sessions,” in which classes and groups can schedule one-on-one online time with animals like Ginger the Llama, the farm’s most popular denizen.

Rural artists’ traveling music show brings community to us.

by Katy Beem Anyone who grew up or trekked through rural South Dakota has experienced the community nexus that is the local store. Even chains like Common Cents and Kum & Go take on the soil, smells, and missing dog flyers that make these little bodegas on the prairie vital retail and social hubs.

Some, like the Hoover Store off Highway 79 in Butte County, are the genuine article. Built of wood in 1902 and owned since 1976 by local ranchers Leona and Jim McFarland, the Hoover Store is the sole supplier of groceries and gossip for 30 miles around.

It’s also the first of four stops on Wish You Were Here, a new traveling concert series on SDPB. The musical travelogue features Bison-based Eliza Blue, Lemmonarea musicians Todd and Judy Larson and Mason Dauwen, and is shot and produced by Sioux Falls photographer Christian Begeman.

The program’s format was forged primarily from the pandemic. “It completely came out of having to figure out a way to keep performing and sharing,” says Blue. Blue’s role extends to host and emcee as she orients viewers to the particulars of each South Dakota locale and introduces the original and traditional folk songs the quartet performs throughout each episode. “The joke is that it’s

a variety show with no variety,” laughs Blue. “But the thinking was about bringing people together in ways that are not turning our back on technology, because it’s not going away, but using the technology actually to create community. How can we feel like we are having a shared experience even while we’re apart? And also just be celebrating our rural culture?”

Celebrating rural culture can be tricky if everyone doesn’t feel invited to the party. “Oftentimes in rural areas, people think art is something that happens in cities, and it isn’t for or about them,” says Blue. “This is a really divided time in American history. But that for me really feels like everybody’s got a role to play. And I see myself as a bridge person.”

Behind the camera, Begeman purposely sets up scenes that convey the texture and intimacy of sharing small spaces in wide open places. Ensconced by the cast-iron pot belly stove inside the Hoover Store, the quartet gathers round one condenser microphone and performs “Red Apple Juice”: “I ain’t got no use for your red apple juice / ain’t got no honey baby now Who’ll rock the cradle, who’ll sing this song when you’re gone, gone?”

Rather than miking each performer and mixing the sound, Begeman wants you to hear the music, with all its echoes and imperfections, as though you are tapping your toes on the store’s wood floor and sharing the warmth of that pot-bellied stove with the music makers. “Music really bridges a lot of that partisanship or whatever that would try to divide us,” says Begeman. “I think music is the bridge. I think that’s really one of the things that has helped and will continue to help. And that’s why we’re sharing here, right?”

From Butte County, the next episodes of Wish You Were Here will travel to Harding, Perkins and Corson counties. “If you’re a geography nerd like I am, you see each of the locations is something that’s unique, but not always well known,” says Begeman.

From the series conception, it was important to the group to create a viewing experience that was joyful. “We hope it gives pleasure, and helps people feel excited about the place that they live. And hear stories and songs that are familiar. And hopefully inspiring in some way,” says Blue.

Wish You Were Here premieres Thursday, Jan. 7, at 8:30pm (7:30 MT) on SDPB1 and SDPB.org and rebroadcasts Sunday, Jan. 10, at 1:30pm (12:30 MT).

“Have Black Americans had a fair shot at the American dream?” acclaimed journalist Bob Herbert asks. Against All Odds: The Fight for a Black Middle Class probes the harsh and often brutal discrimination that has made it extremely difficult for AfricanAmericans to establish a middle-class standard of living, while also exploring the often heroic efforts of Black families to pursue the American Dream in the face of unrelenting barriers.

How did a modest farm woman turn into an icon of children’s literature?

Surprisingly, Laura Ingalls Wilder had a hidden collaborator: her daughter Rose, who pushed her mother to master the art of storytelling. In Laura Ingalls Wilder: Prairie to Page, actresses Tess Harper and Amy Brenneman bring their collaboration to life, reading aloud the vivid letters between mother and daughter.

Stephanie Rissler Bids Farewell to SDPB The longtime South Dakota Focus host and producer, who started at SDPB in 1997, is moving on to work with the South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations.

Stephanie Rissler started at SDPB as a videographer/editor covering the legislature. “I wore many hats during my career: reporter/ journalist, camera operator, sports reporter, radio announcer, fundraiser, public speaker, advocate, researcher. Whatever was asked of me, I was happy to step up. I’m honored to have been given so many opportunities.”

In her 23 years at SDPB, Rissler amassed countless lasting memories. “People who crossed my path and changed my life are the most memorable interviews,” says Rissler. “Dallas Dietrich, from the Black Hills, was in a car accident that killed his children and paralyzed Dallas. He took tragedy and turned it into triumph by helping others.

Meeting and interviewing Dallas changed my life forever.”

Moderating candidate debates and interviewing political leaders, Rissler met hundreds of South Dakota politicians. “Meeting George McGovern was exciting,” says Rissler. “Governor Frank Farrar is a wonderful man. Covering former governor Bill Janklow’s death and as he laid in state was a somber moment.”

Rissler has had a front seat to history as it happens. “The weeks after 9/11 and SDPB’s breaking

coverage during that difficult time was scary,” says Rissler. “But I also felt a sense of duty to those who turned to SDPB, and I’m honored to have been part of the team able to do that.”

Rissler says she worked to ensure certain topics were integral to the network’s narrative, like human trafficking, cyber-bulling, and caring for aging South Dakotans.

She credits Vanished South Dakota, the documentary about once-thriving ghost towns, as her most memorable SDPB moment. “In my travels across the state over the past 20+ years, I learned of so many towns that no longer exist. It was an intense two years researching, interviewing, traveling, writing and editing. It was one of the most rewarding programs I have ever been part of.”

Fittingly, Rissler’s epilogue at SDPB is a South Dakota Focus program featuring healthcare providers’ experiences from the front lines of COVD-19. “One of the elements I’ve always enjoyed about the show is giving individuals a vehicle to talk about issues important to them,” says Rissler.

“I never tried to paraphrase an interviewee’s positions. I invited them to sit next to me on the set and talk in detail, not in soundbites.”

Rissler says she’s thankful for the courage shown by her interviewees, many of whom were not accustomed to being on TV. “They gave their time, as well as expertise, research, and the trust to help me tell their stories.” And she’s grateful to viewers—both fans and detractors. “Everyone who wrote to say they liked or disliked a show, questioned a statement, gave a topic suggestion – their feedback helped me set the bar high and keep it high. I kept every letter and

email: good, bad and silly.”

Rissler admits leaving SDPB is bittersweet. “I do leave SDPB with a heavy heart. I love what I have been able to do for so many years and the SDPB team members. But it’s time to spread my wings, learn new things, and take part in new opportunities.

And while travel has lessened during the past year, that hasn’t always been the case. Travel and live TV have meant I’ve missed a lot of my kids’ special moments and activities.

Travel and work had pushed my family to the back burner, and we decided that life is too short. A new career allows me more time at home with family, which I am looking forward to the most.”

Gracious to the last, Rissler also credits her colleagues. “My time at SDPB would not have been as successful or nearly as fun without the team that worked alongside me. Moments of success were only possible due to the great team holding SDPB up. Even more important, those moments that seemed like failure, it was the same SDPB colleagues that helped me shake it off, helped me to do better, work harder, and remind me that those were not failures but career lessons for all of us. I started at SDPB as a newly married, very young lady looking to change the world (or at least South Dakota) through TV. I raised myself and three babies during my time at SDPB and in the end, it was SDPB that changed my life and for that I am forever grateful. I’ll continue to cheer on the great men and women who work so hard every day for SDPB – but now, from MY living room! And I leave with a quote from Fred Rogers, one of my favorite PBS icons: ‘Often when you think you are at the end of something, you are at the beginning of something else.’”

SDPB’s Lori Walsh.

Jane, Lori Walsh’s daughter, had her studies in New York interrupted

by COVID.

by Lori Walsh, Host, In the Moment

Happy New Year, South Dakota. We have moved past the endurance race that was 2020, though we have by no means left the anxieties that defined it behind. Still, we can be proud of ourselves. That was one difficult year.

We must also hang our heads a bit — in grief, in disappointment, in weariness. We lost much in 2020. We lost loved ones. Sometimes it felt as if we had lost our way.

In the Moment is, among other things, SDPB’s home for longer conversations.

We believe listening to one another is a bold and meaningful act. We believe asking difficult questions is a sign of respect. But in 2020, listening to so much frustration offered challenges of its own. South Dakotans joined us to talk about illness and death, racism and anger, hopelessness and anguish. We also talked about connection and service and compassion, of course. It was heavy all the same.

If those are the conversations we have on the air (with the whole state/ world listening) I can only imagine what kinds of conversations you are having at home, at work, at school. You have borne witness to each other’s pain. If you’re feeling exhausted, I don’t blame you. It’s a lot to carry.

Welcome to 2021, when we know enough to realize we don’t know what this year might bring. We only know that we will be tested once again. We know we will also experience moments of triumph and moments of joy. We will drink those moments in like rain after a long drought.

And, as always, In the Moment remains devoted to the power of conversation, the power of spending time with one another. We believe the questions are often more important than the answers. That might mean challenging one another, yes, but it also means forgiving one another.

We’ve work to do in the days ahead. It’s best if we do that work together.

In Memoriam: Dr. Don Dailey, Mitchell, SD While Dr. Don Dailey’s primary profession was dentistry, his life brimmed with passionate pursuits. A stained glass artist who drew his own patterns, Dailey also framed artwork, including Oscar Howe’s traveling art retrospective, and served Mitchell as a city councilperson and as mayor for two terms. “Dad was a lover of history, travel, architecture,” says daughter Anne Dailey of Mitchell. “He had quite an eye for unique things—furniture and art pieces. He and Mom [Mary Lou] had a wonderful, eclectic style in their home. It makes sense he loved Antiques Roadshow so much.”

Don & Mary Lou Dailey.

Dailey, 81, passed away August 28 in Mitchell. SDPB has been a fortunate recipient of many gifts sent in his memory. “As an artist himself, he was a big proponent of the arts,” says Anne, an interior designer in Mitchell. “He thought SDPB was so good about supporting local artists’ endeavors. And SDPB was the basis of his and Mom’s entertainment. Anytime we were sitting at the kitchen counter, doing something, PBS was on.”

Dailey also loved music. “Big band, Boston Pops, Cher, Neil Diamond,” says Anne. “He would turn it up nice and loud and Mom would quietly turn it down. Up and down and up and down they went! He and Mom were big fans of everything you do.”

SDPB is thankful to the following who gave gifts in memory of Don Dailey: Tama W. Backlund David A. Backlund Doug Backlund Kimberly & Ronald Bartels Lloyd & Shirley Bauder Brad Bauer George & Michele Bittner Catherine Bowar Lori & Russell Brosz Brittany Brosz Lisa M.

Ghost Dancers

(Great & Small continued from p. 5)

By the winter of 1889-1890, the pain of the Lakotahs had become too great to endure, and they began to give credence to a rumor about an Indian Holy Man who lived far to the West in Nevada.

Jack Wilson, known as Wovoka. Wovoka (Northern Paiute) was known as a messiah to his followers. Wovoka spoke about his visits to heaven and how God had given him the Ghost Dance religion. Wovoka said God told him that if the Ghost Dance is performed correctly, the Indians’ old way of life would be restored, the buffalo would return, and their dead ancestors would live again.

Over the next three years, Ghost Dances brought Indian emissaries from across the West, who were eager to learn the dance and doctrine from Wovoka. They returned to their tribes and the Ghost Dance ceremonies attracted hundreds and at times, thousands of dancers. But government officials grew concerned over the frenzy of dancing, fearing an “uprising” of Plains tribes.

On December 29, 1890, the Sioux Chief Bigfoot and his band were slaughtered by the U.S. Army at Wounded Knee. Grieving survivors began an annual horseback ride in tribute to Big Foot’s band, riding for ten days to the Wounded Knee gravesite on December 29. The ride is featured in the documentary.

Ghost Dancers premieres Sunday, January 3, at 1pm (noon MT) on SDPB1 and SDPB.org

A new documentary traces the history of the ceremony.

Resident livestock guardian dog, Punzi, with a lamb.

Doc’s calm voice on the phone, combined with the mental imagery conjured by my years of reading Herriot’s lambing stories, guided me through the panic. Slowly, measuring success in millimeters, I moved my hands along the curve of the baby’s wooly leg until I found a tiny hoof. Carefully, I brought it around. One leg out made room for the other. Soon I had a gasping, sneezing lamb sitting on what were once my carefully pressed church clothes.

At some point during delivery, my phone had dropped to the barn floor. From the depths of the straw, I heard Doc’s voice call out. “Did he make it?” After I gave Doc the affirmative, he replied, “Well, good for him and good for you!” In Doc’s voice I heard the satisfaction and pride those of us who choose to care for animals feel when we get one of those small wins we all live for.

Dr. Lounsbery has since retired, but as with Herriot’s stories, I carry his counsel with me as

each day brings new joys and challenges to our little farm.

Every South Dakotan, regardless of age, geography, or income, faced unprecedented challenges in 2020.

But your committed support of SDPB has been essential to our ability to rapidly respond to South Dakotans’ increased needs for trustworthy information, essential at-home educational services, and quality entertainment that offers a respite from the news cycles.

With your support in 2020, SDPB News and In the Moment with Lori Walsh provided daily updates on COVID-19, candid conversations with doctors, scientists, and health professionals as well as local and state leaders. South Dakota Focus provided in-depth coverage of the pandemic’s impact on South Dakota’s communities.

In an election year that tested the mettle of Americans and the fabric of democracy, SDPB provided complete political coverage and the context required to analyze the results.

We introduced you to local candidates and illustrated the initiatives. You responded 24 24

with unprecedented support and voiced your appreciation for fact-based reporting and civil conversations. In fact, this year the Friends of SDPB celebrated its 12,000 member.

Your support helped us to act quickly to launch SDPB’s Early Learning Initiative, providing young children from Bison to Beresford with daily activities incorporating trusted PBS KIDS programs, and transitioning SDPB3/ WORLD to broadcast AtHome Learning Blocks for K-12 students and teachers sheltering-in-place. Education Specialist “Science Steve” Steven Rokusek produced new dissection and social studies resources for classrooms that lack equipment and resources and presented to educators at Virtual Neutrino Day.

Mindful of everyone’s health and safety, SDPB’s programming and events went outside and online. Your support helped screen the national PBS documentary Prehistoric Road Trip with host (and Rapid City-born) Emily Graslie at Roy’s Black Hills Drive-in in Hermosa and recorded the Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant’s production of The Hard Winter in De Smet. With more folks staying home, South Dakota Garden guided us in nurturing flowers and vegetables within our Midwest landscape. You helped us celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passing of women’s suffrage with live, online screenings of The Vote, SDPB’s Simple Justice: Suffrage in South Dakota, and UnLadylike 2020: Zitkála-Šá. You helped us recognize U. S. veterans like Tuskegee Airman Charles McGee and Navy Captain E. Royce Williams in Old Guys and Their Airplanes. And for the first time ever, SDPB live-casted the Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup, watched by thousands of people around the world.

Your support helped SDPB maintain our commitment to showcasing South Dakota’s High School Activities with athletes, musicians, orators, artists and actors, and helped debut In Play with Craig Mattick, a podcast about the players, programs and legends in South Dakota sports.

Early in 2020, SDPB’s Jazz Nightly with Karl Gehrke hosted a premiere celebration of American Master’s Miles Davis: Birth of The Cool with the JAS Quintet in Sioux Falls and featured musicians Sophia Beatty at the Black Hills Studio and Jim Szana in Pierre. In the Moment amplified local musicians and writers and SDPB partnered with the South Dakota Humanities Council for the 2020 Virtual SD Festival of Books.

Although Dr. Richard Holm passed away in March 2020, On Call with the Prairie Doc® continued its legacy of service on SDPB-TV with a team of Prairie Docs mentored by Dr. Holm. In conjunction with the national documentary Blood Sugar Rising, SDPB provided special programming on diabetes care and prevention for South Dakotans.

With your support, SDPB won two national Edward R. Murrow Awards for coverage of the Stanley Weber trial and the Buddy Red Bow documentary and was nominated for five Midwest Emmys®. SDPB News reporters brought local expertise to national programs On Point, Science Friday and NPR’s national website.

Your support made possible the local SDPB productions that showcase the people, places and history that is singularly South Dakota. This year, Dakota Life ventured deeper in the state’s 77,000 square miles, with each episode anchored from host communities like De Smet, Hot Springs, and Canton, and produced the documentary The Middle of Everywhere: Connecting Rural South Dakota, tracing the history of essential services like electricity and broadband that connect our very rural state. And your support helped make SDPB1-TV available online, insuring SDPB continues to be available to all South Dakotans, wherever we are and where we need to be.

Your support is at the heart of public broadcasting in South Dakota. It’s been an honor to serve you in 2020.

We look forward to continuing to do so.
