Aubrey Sherwood of the De Smet News

The author has selected two major contributions by Sherwood for the focus of this paper--Sherwood \u27s roles in developing the Dunn interests and the Wilder interests. In order to put those efforts into perspective, the author will review the history of The News and provide a brief biography of Aubrey Sherwood, emphasizing the kind of editor and businessman he was. This will set the stage for the exploring of the relationship between Sherwood and Harvey Dunn and the years Sherwood spent promoting the works of Dunn. The paper also will record the manner in which Sherwood used The News to promote the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder and the tourist attractions in DeSmet that tie to the Little Town on the Prairie years. There is no chronicle of Aubrey Sherwood\u27s life except for feature stories in the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader; Huron Daily Plainsman, Watertown Public Opinion, and Brookings Daily Register. Further, the only known biographical study of a South Dakota rural journalist is a 1969 master\u27s thesi s done a t S outh Dakota State University by Kenneth Schaack, entitled George W. Hopp: Brookings County Press 1879-1890. Information for this paper was collected through recorded personal interviews with Sherwood on March 23, 1978, and February 3, 1979, and through numerous unrecorded conversations; interviews with John Sittner and Gerry Sturges, neighboring publishers at Lake Preston and Arlington on February 15-16, 1979: and conversations and interviews with other Sherwood associates. The file copies (bound volumes of The DeSmet News) were researched from 1900-1977. Other documents, such as unpublished speeches written by Aubrey Sherwood, were used as were the books; De Smet Yesterday and Today, edited by Caryl Lynn Poppen , and The Prairie Is My Garden, written by Robert Karolevitz. This thesis should give a better understanding of the contributions of Aubrey Sherwood, to De Smet and to the state of South Dakota, and call attention to the influence a country editor can have beyond his print shop. The paper serves the author, who is now editor of The De Smet News, by providing a deeper understanding of the history of his newspaper and its community

Designing and Conducting Research in Health and Human Performance: Book Review

In the first edition of Designing and Conducting Research in Health and Human Performance authors Matthews and Kostelis have created a useful and practical text for the undergraduate student in the fields of health and human performance. By using relevant and practical examples and by including each aspect of the research process from identifying the problem to presenting the research, Matthews and Kostelis keep student learning at the forefront of the book. Although difficult to highlight many errors with, or omissions in, the text a few minor technicalities arise. However, the authors have placed emphasis where it should be placed and in the end the reader of this text can more fully engage in the undergraduate research process

Constitutionality of Power of Sale Foreclosures by Federal Government Entities, The

When loaning money, lenders often require that obligations be secured by a mortgage on real estate owned by the borrowers. In Missouri, the prevailing form of mortgage is the deed of trust with a power of sale provision. Upon default the trustee is allowed to sell the property without a judicial hearing and after giving only limited notice.\u27 The constitutionality of nonjudicial power of sale foreclosures is well settled as applied to private lenders because of the lack of state or federal notice requirements for the particular county, and the mortgagor\u27s only recourse is to pay the entire amount due prior to the sale, or pay the amount due within a statutorily prescribed redemption period following the sale. To date, courts have rarely addressed the issues raised when the government forecloses on a mortgage, primarily by failing to find sufficient federal action to raise a constitutional issue. On the few occasions that courts have found sufficient federal government action, however, they have found that state power of sale statutes lack the due process required under the Constitution

Field comparison of groundwater sampling methods

Most ground-water sampling methods require the investigator to purge a large quantity of stagnant water from a well prior to collecting a sample. The use of in situ ground-water sampling devices which minimize or eliminate the need for purging would help to alleviate these problems. In this field comparison study, the performances of seven ground-water sampling devices, including two in situ sampling systems, were evaluated to determine if these devices would yield accurate, precise, and representative data. The sampling devices included a bladder pump, a bladder pump below an inflatable packer, a bailer, the Westbay{dollar}\sp\circler{dollar} Mp System, two in situ BAT{dollar}\sp\circler{dollar} devices, and a BAT{dollar}\sp\circler{dollar} well probe. The sampling devices were installed at a site contaminated by a benzene-chlorobenzene plume, and the comparison was based on the ability of the devices to recover representative concentrations of these volatile organic compounds.
