Governors Order permits moving over-width baled livestock feed throughout state
Gov. Dennis Daugaard has issued an Executive Order that, upon receipt of a permit, grants permission to move over-width baled livestock feed not exceeding 12-feet-wide or 15-feet-high in South Dakota two hours after sunset and two hours before sunrise. Over-width vehicles must be equipped with flashing or rotating white or amber warning lights placed at each side of the loads widest extremity. The warning lights must be clearly visible to motorists approaching from the front and rear. Movement under the executive order is valid only for baled livestock feed. The Governors Executive Order allows over-width moving of baled livestock feed until cessation of the drought emergency or no later than Oct. 20, 2012. This summers persistent drought conditions have left livestock producers across South Dakota with inadequate feed supplies, said Walt Bones, South Dakota Secretary of Agriculture. Increasing hauling height and width restrictions for baled hay will allow producers to move feed in a more efficient manner. The normal restriction on South Dakota highway loads is 14-feet, 3-inches high and 8-feet, 6-inches wide. Although height and width restrictions for baled livestock feed have been temporarily increased by Executive Order, several highways in the state have width and height restrictions in place because of construction or permanent structures. Truckers are encouraged to check their routes ahead of time for those restrictions. Agriculture is South Dakota's No. 1 industry, generating nearly $21 billion in annual economic activity and employing more than 80,000 South Dakotans. The South Dakota Department of Agriculture's mission is to promote, protect, preserve and improve this industry for today and tomorrow.

Obituary
Gladys Dessie Hansen
with her many nieces and nephews. On November 28, 1954, Gladys was united in marriage to Odin Hansen at Denton, MT. She was blessed with an instant family with Odin's three sons, Leonard, Eugene, and Robert, whose mother, Ethel Arvidson Hansen, had passed away in 1945. Odin, Gladys, and the boys lived on a farm near Platte, SD, before moving back to Sturgis where she and Odin owned and operated rental property from 1956 to 1975. She was also employed at H O Anderson Hardware before adding to their family another son, Larry, and daughter, Odena. From 1974 to 1983, she was employed at the Fort Meade VA Medical Center. Upon retirement, Gladys and Odin enjoyed traveling to visit their children. But most of their summers were spent close to home at the Hart Ranch near Rapid City. Gladys enjoyed reading, watching Trinity Broadcast network, music, and the "gift of gab." She especially enjoyed playing her mandolin. She remained involved in the lives and activities of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, even if unable to physically participate in those events. Her relationship with her sisters and their children remained very close. Following the loss of Odin in 2006, she often said she had her ticket ready for her final trip. Her heart longed for the day when she would join her loved ones in heaven. On Monday, August 20, 2012, at the age of 91, the Lord finally allowed her to use that ticket. She peacefully passed from this life to her eternal reward at the Sturgis Community Hospital. That day she spoke to Marilyn, her daughter-in-law, about the party Marilyn was preparing. Even though it seemed she was confused, we now know it was the celebration of her life and homecoming. Her quick wit and determined spirit will be fondly remembered. Gladys was a member of the Open Bible Church, the Sturgis Senior Citizens Center, and a local chapter of TOPS. Gladys is survived by her sons, Leonard (Marilyn), Sturgis, SD, Robert (Robin), Bellevue, WA, and Larry (Pam), Burnsville, MN; daughter, Odena (Mark) Koth, Sioux Falls, SD; fourteen grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; one sister, Laura (George) Levin, Sturgis; and a host of nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Odin; son, Eugene; brother, Leonard Butler; and sisters, Marjorie Gabrielson, Marian Barker, Dora Walter, and Ruth Shroyer. Visitation was Friday, August 24th from noon to 8:00 p.m. with the family present from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Kinkade Funeral Chapel, with a sharing service at 7:00 p.m. Funeral services were held Saturday, August 25, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. at Kinkade Funeral Chapel with Pastor Ralph Vencill officiating. Burial followed at Bear Butte Cemetery. A memorial has been established to the Open Bible Church. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.kinkadefunerals.com.
Jordan & Gann went to the chapel
Gladys Dessie (Butler) Hansen was born to Burtis G. and Agnes (Jameson) Butler near Faith, SD, on April 9, 1921, the 6th of seven surviving children. She dedicated her life to Jesus Christ as a teenager and strove to honor Him throughout her life. Despite limited resources, her parents provided opportunity for Gladys and her siblings to develop their God given musical abilities. Faith, family, and music greatly defined Gladys. Upon graduating from Faith High School in 1938, Gladys moved with her parents to Sturgis and then to the Corning, IA, area. In the fall of 1942, they returned to Sturgis. Gladys enjoyed traveling while working for the Farmer's Home Administration from 1943 to 1954. Being single, she greatly enjoyed time spent

City Council discusses fairgrounds drainage

By Loretta Passolt
The Faith City Council held a very lengthy meeting on Tuesday, August 22nd with discussion on the upcoming budget. The minutes of the last meeting were approved, followed by claims. It was noted that the carnival cost the city an estimaed $6,000. Members feel it is well worth it. Donn Dupper reported he had visited with the state about chip sealing the streets yet this fall. It was recommended to Donn that they not wait that long. It would be better to wait until spring. He would also like the City to bid another 1500 tons of chips. They could then have them on hand. He had three quotes for chips, and recommended the quote from Fisher Sand and Gravel, as it was the lowest at $12.50 ton. Council approved getting the chips from Fisher Sand. Donn also said they still have their 30 transformers at Beresford to get. Newton Brown would haul them at $2 a mile. At this time Council approved Newton Brown to haul them. Discussion was held on the gutter/drainage situation at the fairgrounds. The curb would extend 250 north with about a 120 culvert, so water will run into the ditch on the east side of the road. Riley and Inghram wondered if it wouldnt be better and less costly to cross the road and let the water run on the west side of the road. Dave Lutz said he would have to check the elevation, and the ditch was not as deep on that side. The culvert would be pretty shallow if it ran that side. The plan now would have the culvert running under the approach at the fairgrounds. Council decided to bid the project out and see how it comes in. Dupper said the crew has been busy working on things at the school. Police Chief Frankfurth reported that his grant application for equipment has been accepted. The funds cant be spent until October 1st. He said there are certain things the PD has to do for the grant, as promoting Dont Drink & Drive, Click It or Ticket, etc. The school would like a crosswalk put in. The kids have been trained in the past couple years to use the crosswalk but they dont have one marked. Council also discussed having some placed along the highway, as the clinic, etc. Hoss said he was leaving in the morning for a trip to Black River Falls, WI with the Prairie Chicken Motorcycle Club. Hoss siad there are 11 chapters and they raise money for various charities. He will be gone several days. Cindy Frankfurth asked to attend a Med Media class in Rapid City or Pierre on September 5th. The class educates them on run reports for the ambulance, among other things. She would also like to use the City vehicle. Council approved her attending the class and use of the vehicle. Cindy reported all three ambulances are up and running. Debbie Brown asked for authority to send letters to property owners regardng cleaning their lots. Council approved the authorization. Debbie reported that the fence at the shop cost them approximately $8680. The library siding will be around $14,725. Debbie also said the electricians never came to wire the ice house so they need to get on that. They will discuss this at the next meeting. Riley said the library is getting a new sign that will just say Faith Library. Will have more information on installing it once they get it. Resolution #08-21-12-01 for the transfer of funds was approved. Debbie said there are a couple items that need to be surplused, an old scanner that still works, and a VCR from the library that doesnt. The VCR will be thrown away. Debbie explained the need for a special insurance for the gun show. They didnt realize there would be ammunition there. Everything was done for precautionary measures with the guns. The special insurance cost $666.25. If the City doesnt pay it it would come out of the Special Entertainment Committee funds used for the carnival. Council approved paying the insurance. Juanita Selbys last day at the bar was the 21st, but she is willing to help out for special events. They are advertising for a parttime fill in bartender. Hoss had to get extra security during Stock Show, 1 certified and 2 non-certified officers. Council approved paying those gentlemen retroactive to Stock Show. Mayor Haines expresssed his concern about the amount of Creeping Jenny that is around town. He thought they should spray along the curbline andstreet edges. The city crew is certified to do this but Jon said they are really busy at this time. There is also a lot of Canadian Thistle at the lake and lagoon. They discused getting Holloway to spray, but as there are other sprayers in the area, Debbie will get quotes. They would like it done by the end of September. Debbie asked Council to transfer the airport funds of $870 from 2009 so another community can use them as they are unable to use them at this time. Council approved this transfer. Council approved advertising for bids for the street, curb and gutter at fairgrounds to be opened September 4th. Council also approved advertising for bids for hauling 1500 tons of chips from Beulah, WY. Debbie would like to have this all done by Dec. 1st for year-end business. Mayor Haines will help her with bid specs. Debbie clarified payments for committee meetings. She said the only committee meeting is the swimming pool. The library committee has never been paid. Some were being paid because they were on so many committees and it took a lot of their time. Council approved no longer paying members for committee meetings. The Information Center is closing for the season. Debbie wondered if Council wanted to advertise for help to keep it open the rest of the year. Hellekson didnt feel that it was feasible to keep it open. Corinna will be working there through Homecoming, hopefully. Mayor Haines said it is nice to have it open in the spring/summer months, as it saves the office gals a lot of time. Members didnt feel it was necessary to have it open during the winter months. Riley asked if there was a job description, and Debbie said there is. There will be donkey basketball at the community center in October. Debbie wanted it noted that the concessioners use the meeting room to help with traffic flow. Users are in charge of cleaning up afterwards. The contract for the Durkee Lake lease is up the end of September. This is a 3 year contract. The current leaser would like the date changed to December. Spencer suggested having it 6 months on, 6 off to give it the land a rest. Motion to leave date as is failed. A motion to change to Jan 1 through Dec. 31st passed. Any other changes to be done will have to be done another time. Eric would have to review. Council retired into executive session shortly after 8:00 to discuss personnel and job descriptions. Council then reviewed the budget for its 1st reading. Several changed were made.
Community can show its all heart at blood drive September 6

Free cholesterol screening for blood donors
Local residents have the opportunity to celebrate life by joining in the community blood drive on Thurday, Sept. 6, at St. Josephs Catholic Church in Faith. Not only will people have a great feeling after donating blood at the drive, but theyll be able to check their total cholesterol level. United Blood Services now offers free cholesterol testing to blood donors. United Blood Services does a total cholesterol test that allows donors to eat before the testno fasting is required. We use the total cholesterol test because its important for donors to have a healthy meal before they donate, Ferley says. It is recommended that adults 20 years and older have a different cholesterol test, called a lipoprotein profile, every 5 years. A lipoprotein profile requires a 12-
hour fast and is done at a physicians office or lab. Donors can check their confidential results at www.unitedbloodservices.org the week after their donation. Volunteer blood donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16, or 17 in certain areas, must have signed permisssion from a parent or guardian. Donors are asked to bring a photo ID and Donor Card every time they donate. Firsttime donors receive a donor card with their blood type in the mail shortly after their first donation. People who wish to donate at the Faith drive can call Amy Ulrich 739-5701. The hours are 12:30 to 5:30, September 6th.

Will try to get back on schedule after taking a vacation to near Oklahoma City to visit friends. Rodney Ingalls took Howard and I to the airport on Friday, August 17th and he and Justin came back on Wednesday, the 22nd, to pick us up.We spent time visiting some dear friends, David and Carol Fernow at their homenear Lindsay, OK. The Fernows lived on the ranch where John and Becky Paul now live north of Maurine in the late 60s and until March of 1973. They send greetings to old friends and neighbors that they had while here. Robert, Rodney, Sarah and JoAnna Ingalls took a drive to Aberdeen on Saturday.Robert had found a replacement Suburban after hitting a deer and totaling the one they had. They took a pickup and trailer and hauled it as far as Faith where they unloaded and Robert and girls drove it home while Rodney picked up a dunk tank that they borrowed for the Mark Park fundraiser the following Saturday.Rod, Tracy and Justin delivered that to the Mark Park area on the Northern Hills Sod Farm on Sunday. Faye Fees returned to her home on the 16th after taking some recovering time in Belle Fourche. Her knee surgery recovery is coming along nicely, she reported. Walter and Diane went to Spearfish for Walter to get x-rays on his bum shoulder, then they picked Faye up to bring her home. Walter and Diane went back on Monday, the 20th, for a follow up appointment and MRI. Diane needed to back to the Hills on Tuesday on business and Walter took Faye into Faith that day for therapy. Lisle and Mike Reeve have recently had family visiting them. Bill and Linda Reeve Farnum, their son Billy and family and daughter Lydia and her family and Allen, Marjorie Reeve Hartwell and son Aaron and Steven Reeve spent some time at the Reeve Ranch. The group or some of them did some touring in the Hills while here. Steven brought a load of peaches up from Colorado. A happening that took place awhile ago was a gathering of the decendents of Tello Peterson. They, 37 members,held a memorial gathering for Dale Peterson and a wedding for Beverly Peterson. First time in many years that family of the 5 children of Tello Peterson have gathered. People came from TN, MT, CA, WA, WV., SD, IA, ID, and MO. Several of them also came out to the Opal area to visit the old ranch sights. Dwayne and Zona Vig spent their anniversary in Vancouver, British Columbia. They came back on Monday night and stopped at the Brink home to bring grandson Landan out for a visit. Michelle and Wyatt McGraw went to Rapid City to help Wyatt celebrate his 9th birthday. They were joined by Grandma Judy Peterson and did some touring in the Hills and then some games at Chuckie Cheese. Carl Peterson, Sr. was out to the ranch for a couple of weeks in August to help CJ get some hay moved.Judy also came for 8 days to do some fall house cleaning and other things. Sr. did some trucking 3 days and Judy visited with Anissa one day for a haircut. Kelly Hauser and Ali were out a couple days doing repair jobs for Judy.

Dale and Marie Ingalls are back at the ranch, off and on, and was happy they could make it to church on Sunday.

Temperatures were in the 80s and 90s most of last week, and still no moisture! We certainly could use some rain, although its probably too late to do a lot of good it would still help. The prairie is definitely dry and many of the dams are getting that way too. It is certainly hard on the ranchers and their livestock. To celebrate a belated birthday for Garnet Gaaskjolen (February 24th), Arlene Oliver from Lemmon picked her up and they traveled to Lead where Arlenes son, Cody recently moved from Spearfish to be closer to his work at the Deadwood radio station. They visited with Cody briefly as he had to go to work. From there they made their way back through the traffic as it was Cool Deadwood Nights in Deadwood. They went to the new home of Lois and Vaughn Meyer north of Sturgis and spent the night. Early the next day, Wava Gotfredson joined them and they went to Rapid City to do a bit of shopping, returning to Lois early in the afternoon. A little later in the afternoon Keith and Roxi from Meadow and Karen Sletten from Rapid City joined them. Thoughtful as she always is, Karen knowing Garnets favorite colors are purple and pink, brought her a pretty birthday banner in those colors and also a pretty birthday cake. Lois, with the help of Arlene and Wava fixed a delicious evening meal and Garnet says anytime you can have all your children with you it is truly a blessing from the Lord. Keith and Roxi brought Garnet home late that evening. The Prairie Strippers Quilt Guild held their classes and trunk show last Saturday near Isabel. Most of the members from Faith attended. Paul and I went to Rapid City last Friday afternoon and took in the car races. Races will be over for the season in a couple more weeks. There was a lot of lightning in the area but that was it, nothing to cancel the races. Granddaughter Brooke was there with her boyfriend Chandler and another friend. We got in some good visiting. Brooke started her senior year at Sturgis this past Monday. Hard to beleive she is a senior! She has been busy with cheerleading practice and competition. I got in a little shopping and we headed home shortly after Noon on Saturday. School has been in session here in Faith over a week now and it sounds like everyone is enjoying the new school. The cross country runners had their first meet of the season. They traveled to Mobridge and did pretty well in this big meet. They will be hosting the annual Ryan Day Memorial Run at North Shore Golf Course this Friday morning, beginning at 10. The volleyball girls will be traveling to McIntosh this Thursday for their season opener. The football team will be traveling to Dupree this Friday night for their first game of the season. Hope youre making plans to attend Homecoming. Homecoming Week starts Monday, Sept. 10th. The football game is the 14th and the alumni banquet is the 15th.
Perkins County Commissioners to host Comprehensive Planning hearing

On Thursday, September 6, at 6:30 pm, there will be a public meeting at the Elbert Bentley Memorial Building to discuss the adoption of a comprehensive plan for Perkins County. You might ask, what is a comprehensive plan?How does it affect us?Is this something that we really want in our county? Simply put, a comprehensive plan is a road map of sorts that will help guide the future development of our community. This plan would look at our communitys long-range vision and allow Perkins County citizens to have an active role in determining the future development of Perkins County.It will help to ensure the protection of Perkins County property owners interests, and enhance the quality of life in Perkins County. A comprehensive plan involves an inventory or background of existing land uses, housing and economics, and objectives over a specific period of time, and a plan map. A plan map projects where the community would like to see itself in this specific period. Overall, a comprehensive plan used with limited zoning ordinances can help to preserve Perkins Countys agricultural heritage. Please join the Perkins County Commissioners, Perkins County Employees and the Black Hills Council of Local Governments at this public meeting on September 6th to learn more about what a Comprehensive Plan has to offer Perkins County citizens.

ing Jana Hipps. Jana, a former Faith resident, has lost her apartment in Rapid City and is living with a neighbor. She is on oxygen and medication. Her address is Jana Hipps, %Melissa Graham, 924 Silver Street, Rapid City 57701. She has asked if anyone can help her financially. Hopefully shell use any assistance to turn her life around. Good luck Jana, now get movin it. The drought continues around here. It looks like most of the area corn is being chopped for silage and many acres of wheat went for hay. The number of semis leaving the area loaded with hay have diminished to near zero but once in awhile you still see one headed south. I believe Ive heard that little square bales are selling for $5.00 per bale and hay is $200$300 per ton. Many of the folks that run livestock on Sulfur Creek aka Cherry Creek are not able to allow the stock to drink from it as the sulfur content kills them. Some ranchers have had seven or more cows die in a short time. The stock dams are mostly low and grass is darn short. Right now I think all our area folks are scanning the skies for signs of smoke as we are tinder dry. Not being able to burn creates another problem for us country folks, garbage. It just keeps piling up. We have no service to haul it away so we are putting it in plastic bags in a spare shed. When it rains, Harold spends the day getting as much trash burned as he possibly can. Even if we haul recyclables to the Hills it still really piles up. Chad King commented that the problem with having to store it is that the raccoons and cats get in, tear the bags open, and string the trash around. Ive also heard that some ranchers have tried to water their corrals down so the dust wont be so bad when they work cattle. They were saying it takes one whole day of running water on a spot to get any action on the dust. Were also seeing an increase in the number of dead deer. Here again, talk is that they are getting sick from the deer mites. Ive heard of many people finding them dead in their stock dams which makes us think they were probably feverish. Ive tried to update our far away friends and neighbors of the things going on around here. Let me know if youve got news. 9855318 or vickywaterland@hotmail.com

Like most of the area teachers and school kids I started class on Monday. As I drove to school that morning a thousand memories went through my mind. When I reached Highway 34 I thought of all the years Cheryl Simons and I would cross paths on our daily school treks right there. Shed buzz by in her little white four wheel drive Jeep Wagoneer and wave happily out the window. What a gal and what a teacher. Marguarite and Isabel King came to mind at Plainview. How many kids and how many years for those old girls? Lucille Humble, Virginia Williams, Corrine Schmidt, Addie Boyd Weyer, Bernice Lee, Dorothy Ulrich, Belle Isaacs, Patsy Miller, Bernadine Howie Lee, Sis Kavorik, Marie Ingalls, and my special mentor, Lorraine Moreland. Young teachers could learn a lot just visiting with these teachers. What golden treasures of information on howto tips and discipline ideas. I owe my reading ability to Bertha McMacken from first grade at the Timber LakeSchool. The second grade brought me to Miss Mary Beer, who became Mrs. Alley that year. She was the mother of LouAnn Lindskov and Fred Hulms aunt or great aunt. As most South Dakota children I was blessed with good teachers throughout my grade school years. We are so fortunate to have individuals from the area who get the training and are willing to stay in the area no matter how low the pay and how ridiculous the demands put forth by the board or the legislature. We have one of the greatest school systems in the world right here in our state. We educate all children. They are not sorted out to be welders, lawyers, bookkeepers, etc. They receive the same education. How they or their parents handle that is unfortunately a very different story. Most of the women I mentioned are now teaching for the Lord. Boy does he have a great bunch! Wednesday, I was in the Faith Clinic to see Verna Schad. Verna asked me to tell everyone that she is trying to continue working at the clinic one day per week. Her husband Syd, has cancer and must have two people with him at all times. His doctors started him on a new drug that has seemed to slow the progression of the disease. Now it is time to wait and see what it does. Things had looked better last week, so lets pray for Verna, Syd, and their family, and their medical people. Prayer can pull some mighty strong strings! Tucker and Bev Hudson and Sharon Keffeler took a mini weekend vacation to St. Paul, Minnesota to visit their cousins Margaret McMonigal, Cathy Flanagan, and Jim Kasal and families. There was a lot of great visiting and eating plus a very enjoyable pontoon ride on the St. Croix River next to the Wisconsin border. They returned home on Tuesday. They commented that, It sure was green in Minnesota compared to South Dakota. Tucker, Bev and Tina Hudson drove to Ft. Pierre on Wednesday to attend the funeral services for Tucker's Aunt Marion Hudson. Others from this area attending the services were Brent, Gina and Jessie Hoffman. This was Brent's Grandma Hudson. Our sympathy is extended to all the family but, especially to Brent. Its darn hard to lose Grandmas. Lacey, Robert and Quirt Wondercheck were in Rapid City Friday for doctors appointments. They took in Story Book Island after the doctor appointment. Amanda Thompson started school at Rapid City Central High School. Shell be living where she did last year with her Aunt Kelly LaRou and Grandma Maxine Bongard. Harold Waterland, Bub and Troy Thompson, Chad King, and Brad Austin worked cattle with Robert Wondercheck and Allen Waterland at our place Saturday. Lacey and Quirt Wondercheck brought up dinner and served the crew. The South Dakota State 4-H Rodeo Finals are going on in Ft. Pierre this weekend. Im expecting results from Bev Hudson before I have to send this in. Im hoping all the area kids do well, stay safe, and enjoy the experience. I had a call this week concern-
Central Meade County News

By Sandy Rhoden
Some relief from the heat came on Saturday after a warm week. It's still very dry in Central Meade County and rain is much needed. Some dams are becoming dry, or too low for the cows to drink. Hopefully, next week's report will be better. Some of our college bound students headed off to universities on Sunday. Some going for the first time that many know are Jade Keffeler, Trenton Schuelke, Royce Haines, TyAnn Schuelke, and Tristen Simons. Most, if not all of these, are planning to attend West River universities. Experience has shown me that the transition is much smoother if they are able to attend college closer to home. Best wishes for a great year to them! The Rural School Book Fair will be on Thursday, September 6th at the Central Meade County Community Center in Union Center. Lifetouch will be taking school pictures. Parents are encouraged to send money with the kids so they can get some books, posters, or school supplies, or stop by themselves. Bob Smiley is reportedly at the Sturgis Hospital taking therapy treatments after a blood clot in his leg. One may want to pay him a visit or send a card of encouragement to Bob & Ardis. JD and Dana Keffeler hosted a community picnic at their home on Saturday evening. It was very well attended and was the first comfortable evening we've had in a while. A big thank you to the Keffelers for opening their home and for their service to host a great community event. We have a number of bow hunters in the area and it's antelope season. Jenny Spring shot an antelope Sunday morning. Travis Brown got a nice one about a week earlier. Others will be watching and waiting for the perfect shot throughout the next several weeks. Gary and Amy Cammack are completing a nice addition to their home. One may want to look a little closer while driving through Union Center to see a more spacious home. They have plans for a rock front on the outside. Many ranchers are working cows to pregnancy check, treat for flies, meds., etc. at this time. Some will be selling calves soon so we are optimistic that cattle prices will hold this year. One weather report was that the fall would be wetter than normal. We will see how accurate they are and hope they are right. The Faith football team will have their first game against Dupree on Friday. Their next game is against Rapid City Christian and both of these games are away games. Caden Smiley, Cheney Keffeler, Tye Grubl, Teagan Grubl, Tanner Simons, Wyatt Schuelke and Tristen Rhoden are playing football for Faith. Wyatt and Tristen are currently on the injured list. The girls volleyball team will play their first game on August 30at McIntosh at 6:00 pm. Paige Brink, Brooke and Bailey Enrightplay volleyball for Faith. Wyatt Schuelke, Tanielle Arneson, and others attended the State 4-H Rodeo this weekend. Tanielle placed 3rd over all in goat tying. She is the daughter of Melvin and Trina Arneson. No other results have been reported at this time.

Page 6 August 29, 2012 The Faith Independent South Dakota Country Music Hall of Fame induction to be held
The South Dakota Country Music Hall of Fame is to honor South Dakota musicians, performers, and music entertainers for their contributions to and promotion of country music in the state of South Dakota. It is our goal to promote country music; and to protect and preserve memories of the music scene through recordings both live and past film footage. Memory books, videos, CDs, and records of the artists music will be compiled and preserved for the public to have access to throughout South Dakota history. The South Dakota Country Music Hall of Fame started as a brainstorm in 2003 from Kenny and Jeanette Powell and Barb Alley to honor Kenny's uncle, Curt Powell, who was an accomplished musician. Curt passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. It started out as a musicians jam session in 2003 and became an actual awards program in 2004. The event has turned into an annual event with some proceeds being donated to promote music in elementary school programs through raffles and donations. Their goal is to establish a permanent home and museum for the Hall of Fame to display the memorabilia, instruments, photos and sound recordings that have been donated to the organization by musicians, fans, and inductees. The 2012 Inductees are: Roy King, George Mallory, Dave Bergquist, Cleo Bee, Susan McNeill, John McNeill, Stringbean Svenson, Larry Yarrow, Rob Stack, Chip Bradley, Elizabeth Foss and Rory Hoffman. The Awards Ceremony will be held Sunday, September 9 at Cedar Shore Resort at Oacoma. Festivities begin at 2pm. Doors Open @ noon for an autograph/photosession.
Nitrate QuikTest available at 20 veterinary clinics & SDSU Extension Centers

Twenty-two veterinarians at 20 clinics are now trained and certified to do the nitrate QuikTest on standing forages. Producers should take standing forage that has been cut at ground level to SDSU Extension locations or veterinary clinics that have the testing available. Such crops include milo, corn, millet, sudan, soybeans, etc. The test does not work on corn that has already been chopped for silage. In this situation the sample would need to be sent to a lab for quantitative analysis.

Construction started on Hwy 34/Lazelle in Sturgis

The SD Department of Transportation and the city of Sturgis began reconstruction work on Lazelle Street between Blanche Street and 11th Street in Sturgis on Monday (Aug. 20). The department will work on sidewalk and approach modifications and signals, and the city will replace water lines. Phase I work for the DOT includes curb and gutter, sidewalks, lighting, and signal work from Junction Ave. to Blanche Street and will require Highway 34 traffic to detour to Douglas Street between Junction Ave. and Blanche Street. All trucks will be detoured around Sturgis via Highway 79, Highway 212 through Nisland and Belle Fourche, and Highway 34 between Belle Fourche and Whitewood. Phase I is expected to be completed by Nov. 17. Phase II of the project is expected to begin next March. Truck traffic will be detoured through Sturgis on Junction Avenue. Local traffic will be detoured on Main Street between Junction Avenue and 11th Street in Sturgis. The overall completion date for the project is July 23, 2013. Complete road construction information can be found at www.safetraveulusa.com/sd or by dialing 511.

Gov. Daugaards Column

About a month ago, legislative leadership, the Chief Justice and I announced the formation of the Criminal Justice Initiative. This initiative has three goals: make the public safer, hold criminals accountable for their actions, and use public funds efficiently. Since the initial announcement, a work group comprised of law enforcement, prosecutors, legislators, defense attorneys, judges, treatment providers, and members of my staff have met several times to look at ways to achieve those goals. I have no policy change proposals which are driving this effort. Neither does the Chief Justice or the members of the work group. Policy proposals, if any, should come at the end after the facts have been examined, and evidence-based practices have been studied. Thus far, work group meetings have been a good examination of South Dakotas criminal justice system, from probation to prison to parole. The group is considering what other states do, and how they spend their corrections dollars. We should not be afraid to look critically at ourselves. If we find something we cannot defend, then perhaps it is indefensible and needs to be changed. In short, we dont know what policies will come from this initiative, as it is still in the fact-gathering and policy-considering stages. There are a few issues and ideas that this work group is not considering. The work group is not discussing letting current offenders out of prison. The work group is not considering changes to the death penalty, the juvenile justice system, or the sex-offender registry. The work group is not considering deeper societal questions that could be a root cause of crime, such as poverty or education.These are important issues, but they are so complex in their own right that they could overwhelm the discussion. The group is instead focusing on increased public safety, more offender accountability, and efficient use of taxpayer dollars. South Dakota incarcerates more people per capita than our neighboring states nearly twice the rate of North Dakota and Minnesota.South Dakotas prisons are filling, and locking more people up has a significant cost. Projections show that if we change nothing our prison population will increase 25 percent over the next 10 years, at an additional $224 million cost. At our current rate, we will need to build a new womens prison in just a few years and another mens prison not long afterward. The dollars we would use are funds that we could not spend on other
States ACT scores steady, Still above national average

South Dakotas average composite ACT score remains unchanged from last year at 21.8, where it has been for the past three years. The national average was also unchanged from a year ago, sitting at 21.1 as it has for four of the past five years. While South Dakotas scores are consistently higher than the national average by several tenths of a point, South Dakota Secretary of Education Dr. Melody Schopp says there is always room for improvement. She said efforts, such as implementation of the Common Core State Standards, should help boost student learning overall. With the Common Core, students will be challenged to engage higher-level thinking skills in order to arrive at a deeper understanding of the concepts they are learning. The Common Core standards were designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary as they move into postsecondary education and careers, Schopp said. The ACT is scored on a scale of 1 to 36, with 36 as the highest possible score. Students are tested in the areas of English, mathematics, reading and science, although the science portion is science reasoning, not sciencecontent knowledge. The ACT test is commonly used as a benchmark for college entrance and readiness. In South Dakota, 81 percent of graduating seniors took the ACT, which is high for states that dont require ACT testing for graduation. The state Department of Education offers South Dakota students several resources to prepare for the test, such as access to free test preparation materials available through SDMyLife.com, an online academic and career planning resource hosted by the department. In addition, the department collaborates with the Board of Regents to identify and assist high school students whose ACT scores indicate they will require remediation at the college and university level. We have tools in place that can help assist these students in shoring up their knowledge and skills, Schopp said. If students can get some of this remedial work done before their postsecondary education, it will save them both time and money once they make the transition. Average Composite ACT Scores South Dakota vs. National Year State National 2008 22.0 21.1 2009 22.0 21.1 21.8 21.0 2010 2011 21.8 21.1 2012 21.8 21.1
Smart On Crime
priorities, such as education, economic development, or infrastructure. This does not mean that our prisons are full and we should stop locking people up. We should and will continue to lock up dangerous, violent career criminals. We should never be afraid of self-examination. I look forward to the recommendations of the work group, because I believe we will find ways to improve. I believe we can do a better job of keeping the public safe, while spending tax dollars more effectively. That will allow us to spend more on schools, roads and job creation, or provide tax relief. We are committed to making South Dakota safer, holding criminals more accountable, and providing taxpayers with a better public safety return for their corrections dollars.

Expanding access to credit in rural America As drought continues across America, President Obama and I continue doing all we can to help producers. In addition to the actions weve already taken, we will continue to call on Congress to pass a Food, Farm and Jobs Bill that gives USDA more tools to help, while providing more certainty for our producers. Throughout this disaster, USDA has worked hard to offer emergency access to credit for farmers and ranchers. In the early days of the drought, USDA acted to lower the interest rate for FSA Emergency Loans from 3.75 percent to 2.25 percent. This week, USDA announced that we will modify emergency loans by allowing loans to be made earlier in the season helping livestock producers to offset increased feed costs, as well as those who have liquidated herds. In addition weve continued working with the Small Business Administration and the National Credit Union Administration to further increase emergency lending in drought-stricken areas. But the importance of access to credit in rural America goes well beyond the current drought. Under President Obama, USDA has made access to credit a priority for producers, for rural businesses, and for families and we have achieved a record amount of accomplishments. Since 2009, USDA has made or guaranteed a record number of loans for farmers and ranchers more than $1.8 billion in loans for nearly 130,000 producers. USDA has made a record level of loans, along with grants, to help nearly 58,000 rural small businesses grow, creating or saving hundreds of thousands of jobs in rural areas. Weve provided loans and loan guarantees for more than 520,000 families to buy or refinance a home, to ensure that Americans who are working hard and playing by the rules have a chance to achieve the dream of homeownership. And USDA lending is helping to develop a strong biobased economy in America. This August alone, USDA added two new loan guarantee efforts to help build advanced biofuel plants in Nevada and North Carolina that will continue our work to make America more energy secure, while bringing hundreds of new jobs to those states. Were proud of these results, but we can keep building on our success. We can help more producers get a loan to buy or improve a farm. We can help small business owners expand their operations. We can do more to grow the biobased economy. By giving folks in rural areas more tools to succeed, USDA will continue to create good-paying jobs in rural America while helping strengthen our nations economy as a whole.

Governor Daugaard asks Labor Day travelers to stay safe

Governor Dennis Daugaard is asking motorists to be extra careful when traveling on Labor Day weekend. Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer, and families often make it a time for one final outing together, the governor said. Ten people were killed and 247 others were injured in crashes on South Dakota roads during the past five Labor Day weekends, according to the state Office of Accident Records. Four of those fatalities involved alcohol-related crashes. Designating a sober driver and always making it a firm practice to never drink and drive greatly increase the chances of having a safe trip and an enjoyable holiday weekend, Daugaard said. Most accidents are entirely preventable if drivers make safe choices and make sure their passengers do, too. That means always using seatbelts, heeding speed limits, not overdriving road conditions and never driving after drinking. Those are important habits whenever you travel, the governor said. They are especially important when additional traffic will be on our highways during Labor Day weekend.

A special note of thanks to the custodial and office staff for working throughout all the extra work of moving. Mrs. Vance has put in much time in keeping the network up and going. We wouldnt be where we are today without the extra effort of so many. The parking lot is cleared and ready for the City to chip-seal within the next few weeks. The telephone and computers are all transferred over to the new building and most of the teachers have been in and are getting their rooms ready. The carpet has been installed at Maurine and the cleaning work is being done. The donor wall is complete and ready to be picked up. Athletic practices start August 13th and staff in-service is on August 17th. Students will arrive on August 20th. Mrs. Baye attended the ASBSD/SASD Joint Convention in Sioux Falls August 8-10th. The emphasis was on the new accountability and assessment system being introduced to replace some of the features of NCLB. Many of the sessions were about the Initiated Measure 15 concerning the additional sales tax for education and Medicaid. The State Report Card should be available within the week and will be in a much different format this year. We maintained scores in the proficient and advanced level above the state average. We will know more as we study the complete reports with our data retreat this fall. We received word from the Dept. of Education that the Consolidated Application has been approved. Jim Parry from the TIE Office shared that although there was no money for the Dakota Character Grant, they were going to continue some of the services and try to continue the survey results.

A meeting was held with Ainsworth-Benning on August 13th to go over the remaining punch list items. The electricians were also here to train staff on the AC/Heating. Many items were discussed this spring and still remain to be fixed. Sidewalks to the playground still need to be put in. Bret Hanson asked why it has taken so long for those items to be fixed. Every effort will be made to get them fixed prior to school starting. Hanson asked if we had received a Certificate of Occupancy or just the Certificate of Substantial Completion and whether or not we can start school if the Certificate of Occupancy has not been received. Mrs. Baye shared that all of the engineers have signed off on the project. The sign donated by the Class of 2011 still needs to be placed. Mr. Daughters gave the playground committee report.

Mrs. Baye explained the basics of the program and how it can help teachers target instruction to a students particular needs. Mr. Daughters shared that a teacher in-service will be held on August 17th as he felt there was a lot to still be learned about the program. Bret Hanson asked if the program could be implemented if the application was not yet complete. Mrs. Baye stated the application would be complete after the in-service and she felt that implementing the

RtI program was necessary as it is tied to our Title I funding.

Meade County Commission Meeting
The Board further discussed with McGirr the Secondary Road Fund, which included the spending/revenue that takes place within the fund and the possibility of getting that information monthly. The Board discussed whether the same was needed or not on a monthly basis. McGirr asked the Board for direction regarding the same. Chairman Aker informed McGirr that they are not expecting to see that in September because the Commission, at this time, has not decided whether they want to track the same each month. Commissioner Creed wanted to send kudos out to the Highway Department for fighting the fires that took place that previous Friday night and the men getting out there to help fight the same. Meade County Sheriff Ron Merwin gave an update to the Board regarding the Rally. Commissioner Creed had comments to make about the ground zero meetings wherein there were highly technical people here. Those individuals had never seen the amount of cooperation and working within inner agencies and lack of turfdom. Creed went on to say that she believes that says a whole lot about our Sheriffs Department, Police Department, etc., working together. Also mentioned, was the fact that with this being one of the largest events in the Nation, that law and order could be maintained with such limited resources and personnel. Emergency Manager/Veteran Service Officer Angella Sutton came to update the Board on the ground zero meetings for the Rally. Commissioner Assistant/Human Resource Manager Jerry Derr gave updates regarding his office. Mr. Derr then spoke personally and not as an employee of Meade County about a flag policy for Meade County. The Board discussed the same and advised Mr. Derr to come with a policy for next month. Marv Kammerer, Meade County resident, followed up on Mr. Derr's flag policy. Kammerer also handed out to the Board The Real Price Combat Veterans Pay. Meade County Auditor Lisa Schieffer updated the Board on office matters, with the various elections taking place in the following month, working on tax increment districts, and the assessment of central utilities with the Department of Revenue. The Board then individually updated the public on Commission matters. Commissioner Cammack reported about the completion of the New Underwood Road and expressed the concerns for fires. Commissioner Heidgerken reiterated the fire concerns. Heidgerken attended the Black Hills RCD meeting and also went to the SD Housing Authority meeting. Commissioner Creed informed the Board that the ambulance and fire calls were way up during the Rally and most were out in the County. Creed will discuss vendor permits at a later time on the agenda. Creed expressed her disappointment with sales tax and even though the county does not get any sales tax, the State collects such a small portion particularly in West River. It appears that the permanent sale tax license holders get penalized compared to the temporary ones. Creed informed the public that the Department of Revenue moved out on Wednesday because it was not worth them to stay and collect tax and they could not justify the overtime for their employees. Discussion was had about Commissioner Creed addressing a letter to the Department of Revenue regarding the same. Creed also made an announcement that coming in near future there will be a big business moving to Sturgis. Commissioner Aker attended the Black Hills Association meeting wherein he and Pennington County Commissioner Nancy Trautman were appointed for the working group. Aker informed the Board that he will have an upcoming meeting with the Sturgis Economic Development Corporation (SEDC), which will handle our loan fund. Ray Dvorak, Meade County business owner, concurred with Commissioner Creed regarding the comments on sales tax collection. Dvorak is all for writing a letter to the Department of Revenue regarding sales tax. 4. Items from Sheriff Action, Discussion: A. 911 Ordinance Chairman Aker will defer until later in the day.

Hymans expressed that they will be approaching the City of Sturgis about a possible error in the contract and would like the County to support their position on the same. The Board discussed possibly putting the same on the agenda for September for adding a third member to the contract or to dissolve the same. The Board decided to have the States Attorneys Office look over the contract and a meeting with the Joint Committee will be set up. 6. Items from Commission Action, Discussion: A. Consider Speed Limits on Piedmont Area Roads Chairman Aker put this item on the agenda for Homer Smith Road. Meade County Sheriff Ron Merwin was present. Discussion took place regarding the speed limit for the road. The Board discussed with Merwin safety issues and felt that 25 mph would be appropriate. Deb Black came before the Board and expressed that 25mph would be adequate. The Board, after further discussion on numerous roads, will defer the matter until September after Meade County Highway Superintendent Ken McGirr and Sheriff Merwin can get together and look at a list of the roads so the same will be consistent throughout Meade County. The same will be taken up with the Transportation Committee and then brought back before the Board. Action, Discussion: B.
