Clark County commissioners talk
possible broadcast of meetings
Political correctness and openness of government are two ‘buzz
words’ or trends of the new millennium.
At Tuesday’s meeting of the Clark
County Board of Commissioners a
group of concerned citizens from the
northern parts of the county were
in attendance to talk about just this
matter...Their right to know!
“It’s hard to argue against openness,” commented Clark County
States Attorney Chad Fjelland as
the subject was how can everyone
in the county know what’s going on
at the commissioners meeting.
Greg Anderson was the spokesperson for the group and he is a
proponent of using ITC Community access Channels as the route to
broadcast commissioner meetings
to all ITC subscribers.
“I think it would be good for our
county, as it would be a live feed of
commissioner’s meetings,” said Anderson.
Clark County Board of Commissioners chairman Francis Hass
then asked the commissioners their
thoughts on this matter.
Commissioner Richard Reints,
when he was asked, commented
“My only problem is that not everyone in the county has the ability
to get ITC, I don’t.” Commissioner
Violet Wicks said that she can’t get
ITC where she lives.
Becky Caulfield, Bradley, brought
up a relevant thought, telling the
commissioners that when there is
a meeting, she can’t protest, because she finds out about the issues
two weeks after the fact when the
minutes are posted in the paper.
“That’s the only way I can find out
what’s going on,” she said.
Clark County Courier editor Bill
Krikac stated that one of his biggest
regrets is a Tuesday deadline with
a Tuesday commissioner meeting.
“Deadlines don’t wait and some
times decisions aren’t made until
after I have to get a paper out,”
Krikac said. He has for a long time
hoped to hire someone to cover the
Tuesday meetings. “That would really be nice, but it just hasn’t happened.”
States Attorney Fjelland said
that an agenda could be published
and better yet emailed, to those
who wanted.
Susan Olson added that she really liked the idea of ITC live coverage. “I think that would be a step
in the right direction.”
Caulfield added that the concerned citizens group was there to
try to get communications flowing.
The commissioners said they
would look into the ITC Community
Access Channels route.
It was a long meeting with a
short agenda Monday at City Hall.
The June meeting of the Clark City
Council lasted over an hour and a
half, dealing primarily with the
public input and departmental updates portion of the meeting.
The first public input topic was
the ball field at Dickinson Park:
Clark Rotary Club representative
Tom LaBrie shared with the council what improvements are planned
and how these improvements are
progressing. The fence banners
are up and help enhance the cosmetic value of the baseball/football
field and also help finance improvements.
The Rotarians are spending the
summer organizing and getting
‘stuff ’ together, as most improvements, including the stadium seating project, will be done after the
baseball season is over. LaBrie
stated that sidewalks to the restrooms are needed and that the
side bleachers will probably come
out.
The one exception to after the
season upgrades is that goose grass
on the infield will be replaced and
low spots will be worked on and the
field will be fertilized, aerated and
fungicide will be applied.
Legion baseball coach Brock
Greenfield was next and he summarized the financial state of affairs of
his baseball team. Greenfield said
that the Clark Legion Post agreed
to give the team $500 for the season.
Greenfield then explained that
the team of 16 will play approximately 40 games this summer with
players from several communities
and will be called Clark-Willow
If the weather cooperates...
swimming pool is to be painted
The Horace Bennett Swimming Pool is being sanded and painted this week, maybe?!? Clark water superintendent Darin Altfillisch reported that temperature regulations require that the temperature needs to
be in the 70˚ area before painting can take place.
It then takes time for the paint to dry and to ‘cure’
the paint and then another seven days to fill the pool
with water. It could be the middle of June before the
swimming pool doors are opened.
If the weather cooperates this week the swimming
pool will be painted. If Mother Nature does not cooperate, then...
Above, lifeguards left to right, Morgan Huber, Kalli
Bell, Kandace Kolden and Mackenzie Huber are painting the inside area.
Will the outside get painted in 2013? We will know
by this time next week.
Short agenda, long meeting Monday at Clark City Hall
Lake. Fundraisers, private sponsorships and community organizations are all helping to make Legion
baseball possible in 2013.
The Legion baseball coach indicated that expenses will be met on
a week by week basis and he asked
the council for financial consideration.
In the past the city had donated
$1,500 for Legion baseball. After
some discussion the city council approved $3,000 for the 2013 American Legion baseball program.
Buster Altfillisch and the Willaby
house were next on the public input
portion of the meeting. Altfillisch,
along with neighbor Bill Krikac
were in attendance to ask the council what recourse they had to eliminate this eyesore that abuts both
properties.
This house, in the 900 block on
North Idaho Street in Clark has remained unoccupied the past seven
years. Altfillisch and Krikac have
appeared in front of the council before talking about this issue.
Mayor Larry Dreher said he was
very aware of the situation, had
toured the property with various
council members and city employees and will see what options are
available to alleviate this situation
and attempt to get results, in an appropriate matter of time. And, the
city health inspector, Joie Steffen
will get involved with this property.
Council president Louann Streff
said, “Let’s start getting our ducks
in a row (on this issue).” Mayor
Dreher added, “It’s time,” and the
council moved on to solve a drainage issue on Kansas Street, by the
Clark Community Oil business
complex.
Community Oil general manager Troy Grensberg was in attendance and he and Clark street superintendent Roger Collins were
in agreement that this drainage
problem could be solved by draining
straight east with a drop-in box and
a 15” culvert. Collins emphasized
that 70’ of cement culvert would
keep the water out. The council approved the $4,800 project.
In other business:
▲ The only mention of the proposed retention pond came in finance officer Jackie Luttrell’s update. She mentioned that this pond
must be 1,000 feet from any residence.
▲ No executive session was needed at Monday’s meeting.

Clark School Board
needs new member
As one reads the Clark School
Board Agenda on page five of this
edition, one would note the resignation of board president Michelle
Mehlberg.
When Mehlberg was contacted by
the Courier office, she stated, “Due
to circumstances beyond my control
I will not have the time to commit
to being an effective and informed
school board member for the next
several months. I feel that it is in
the best interest of the students and
voters of the district for me to step
aside and have someone appointed
who will have the time to devote to
the position. I appreciated the opportunity to serve the district.”
At the June meeting of the Clark
School Board this coming Monday,
the board will begin the process of
finding Mehlberg’s replacement.

“I miss the good ole days ‘in a way’,” says Lowell Pederson of rural
Clark. Born in Clark County, he’s always liked to travel, but always came
back to farm. “If you get a chance to travel, go out and enjoy it as there
is a lot to see in this country,” advises Pederson.
“I’ve had a real good life,” says Lowell was born on May 9, 1929
Lowell Pederson with a grin. “I’ve on a farm south and east of Clark.
always liked to travel. I’d be the “My older brother said he and dad
one who would take off and do odd had gone out working and when
jobs in the winter, while my brother they came back, I was lying on the
oven door,” laughs Pederson. He
would stay home on the farm.”
was the second to the youngest child
in a family of nine children. Gladys, Thelma, Hazel, Leonard, Myrtle, Oliver ‘Wayne’, Janice, Lowell
and Walter were born to Hendie
(H.O.) and Christine (Aaker) Pederson. “Back then everyone had
bigger families. There was always
a lot to do on the farm and everyone
was needed to help out,” stated Pederson.
His father was a farmer by trade,
but in earlier years ran a hardware
store in Flandreau. According to
Lowell, his father was a hard working farmer and his mother was ‘the
best person you’d ever meet’. He
doesn’t remember his grandparents,
but knows the names are Tollef and
Ingeborg (Blinsmon) Pederson on
his father’s side and both sets of
grandparents were Norwegian.
Growing up near Clark
“Growing up we always had so
doggone much work to do, there
wasn’t time for playing on the
farm in the summers. On Sundays
though, the neighbor kids would
come over and we’d get a baseball
or kittenball game going. The Kar-
bers lived just up the road and in
the winter, we’d have fun sledding down hills together.” Winters
would be cold in the house and
Lowell recalls at bedtime, whoever
got upstairs the fastest would get
to sleep in the room with the stove
pipe coming up through the floor as
that would be the warmest.
“What’s that saying about being
uphill both ways to school in the
old days? Well, I really did do that.
We walked downhill a half mile
and then uphill a half mile to go to
school and then the opposite coming
home. I remember the Stanley girls
helping me out after school sometimes when I’d have trouble.”
Chores like milking would be
done before and after school. After
the eighth grade, Lowell was needed on the farm as his father lost his
leg in a bad power take-off (PTO)
accident. “He was pretty much
done farming after that.”
Tornado takes brooder house
“I remember once when my mother, Wally, our neighbor Kathleen
Karber and I were all out working
with baby chicks in the brooder
house. I think it must have been
a tornado or at least very strong
winds that lifted the house off its
foundation. I had run to the barn
and looked over and saw my mother, Wally and Kathleen all go flying
by. It’s surprising no one got hurt.
Then we all starting picking up the
baby chicks.
Farming
Breaking horses was another
chore that Lowell and his brother Wally did on their farm. Once
when the cinch on the saddle broke,
Lowell went flying with the saddle
underneath him.
“When we were young, running
the cultivator, Wally would drive
the horses and dad made a seat for
me to sit on and I’d regulate the
cultivator between the rows. As
I grew, I learned how to drive the
horse team.”
Lowell bought land when he was
a young farmer and is glad that he
did. “I don’t see how a young farmer can make it nowdays with land
as high as it is now. I think it’s sad

Subtle Symptoms and Not So Subtle Disease
Farmers Union Campers learn
financial literacy, cooperation
Sixteen young people attended this year’s Farmers Union Day Camp
in Clark with the theme of ‘Farmers Union is our name, Cooperation is
our game’. The children participated in activities and games that taught
them about cooperative business, rural communities and agriculture in
a fun and safe setting.
Participants at this year’s camp were TJ Meyer, Jessica Temple, Heath
Hemmingson, Chad Kolden, Reagon, Jada and Corbin Wagner, Waylon
Olson, Emmah Mitchell, Olivia Sass, Tayen Smidt, Sydnie and Turner
Fjelland, Austin Clayton, Collin Gaikowski and Lydia Reidburn.
Assisting at this year’s camp were Gail Temple, Clark County Education Director; Teresa and Lon Reidburn; Jordyn Temple, Annabell Ryan
and summer staff interns Emma Smith and Kortny Sterrett.
South Dakota’s State Flag
Blue skies and sunshine translate to a perfect summer day. Those
elements are reflected in South Dakota’s flag.
The story of the state’s banner
began in 1909, when State Sen. Ernest May of Deadwood walked into
the office of the State Department
of History in Pierre. He discussed
the need for a state flag with state
historian Doane Robinson.
“Turning to me, Robinson said,
‘Miss Anding will make you a flag,’”
Ida (Anding) McNeil said in an article in the Jan. 20, 1963, Rapid City
Daily Journal.
McNeil, a legislative reference
librarian at the time, designed and
made a flag that featured a blazing
sun in the center of a field of blue,
with the words “South Dakota”
above the sun in the arc of the circle
and “The Sunshine State” below the
sun in the arc of the circle. McNeil
said in the newspaper article that
Robinson suggested a blazing sun
emblem because of South Dakota’s
many days of sunshine. McNeil
showed the sample flag to Robinson, who remarked that the Great
Seal of the State of South Dakota
would look nice on the other side.
McNeil agreed, and the state seal
set against a field of dark blue was
placed on the reverse side.
A bill adopting the state flag was
passed by the Legislature in 1909.
“If I had known as much about
flags as I do now, I certainly would
have left the reverse side plain,”
McNeil said in the Rapid City Daily
Journal article. “A two-sided flag is
very difficult to make. In addition to
the added work, it is difficult to prevent one side from showing through
onto the other.”
McNeil explained in the newspaper article that to make the state
flag, she appliquéd the golden sun
and embroidered the sun’s rays.
She then took another piece of silk,
painted details of the state seal on
it and appliquéd this to the reverse
side of the flag. In addition to being
difficult to make, a two-sided flag
was expensive to produce. The silk
material from which McNeil made
the flag cost $12.50 per yard and
the materials for one flag cost about
$75 in 1963.
McNeil left her state job when
she married in 1921. Although she
made the first state flag, she is better remembered for being a pioneer

in radio broadcasting. She became
known as “Mrs. Pierre” while owner and operator of KGFX radio in
Pierre.
Another version of how South
Dakota’s flag came into being states
that May told Robinson that Deadwood pioneer Seth Bullock wanted
a state flag. Robinson makes no
mention of Bullock’s involvement in
the state flag in Doane Robinson’s
Encyclopedia of South Dakota. David A. Wolff of Spearfish, author of
Seth Bullock: Black Hills Lawman,
said that he could find no evidence
in his research on Bullock to support the idea of Bullock being involved in the first state flag.
During the 1963 legislative session, Rep. William Sahr of Pierre
introduced a bill to modify the state
flag. The new one-sided flag kept a
sun with a serrated edge on a field
of sky blue but placed the state seal
inside the sun. Around the sun were
the words “South Dakota” and “The
Sunshine State.”
The state’s banner was again
revised in 1992, when the Legislature approved changing the wording on the flag to read “The Mount
Rushmore State” instead of “The
Sunshine State.” This reflected a
change in the state nickname.
The legislation for both the 1963
and 1992 changes contained a provision that any previous flags made
in conformance with state law were
to remain official state flags. That
means that it is legal to use any of
the three official state flags.
Not everyone likes our state flag.
The North American Vexillological
Association, an association of flag
experts, ranked South Dakota’s flag
as one of the five worst in North
America in 2001.
During the 2012 legislative session, a bill to adopt a flag designed
by Spearfish artist Dick Termes was
introduced. This design featured
a sunburst, an American Indian
medicine wheel and concentric blue
circles. A House committee rejected
the call to look at revising the flag.

At first he had a subtle clue that something may be wrong, but he
didn’t do anything about it. “Almost everyone has had heartburn one
time or another,” he thought. But gradually it became worse. He found
that he could control it with over-the-counter pills, so it must not be
something so bad. His wife began bugging him for eating antacid tablets
day and night, so he did it on the sly.
Ah! But over time the reflux became less bothersome, and so he was
reassured this was nothing dangerous. Then, one day, food started to
stick on the way down and his wife said that she made him an appointment to the doctor. “You had better keep this one,” she said.
I know of at least seven men diagnosed with esophageal cancer who
had a similar story. Four have passed away, two are cured, and one is
receiving chemotherapy and we are hoping for a cure.
It is the feeling of a burp with acid in it, which starts in the stomach,
comes back up the food pipe, and ends in the throat. The fancy name for
such a disorder would be gastro (meaning stomach) esophageal (meaning
food pipe) reflux (meaning backward movement), or GERD, also called
acid reflux.
Reflux can cause some people to have esophageal pain so similar to
heart pain and so severe that it is sometimes wrongly diagnosed as a
life-threatening heart attack. This is why its been called “heartburn.”
On the other hand, some people have minimal to almost no discomfort from such reverse movement of stomach acid. Over the last ten to
twenty years, we have learned that many who come to the doctor’s office
without reflux symptoms, but with voice change, cough, or asthma, may
actually have nighttime reflux, resulting in acid-burned vocal cords and
lungs.
Don’t wait for your spouse to make that appointment. Esophageal
symptoms, subtle or not, should bring you to the doctor.

Printers & Publishers you can count on
ty is when he met his future wife,
Marge Kretzschmar.
“She was
friends with my niece Evelyn. We
met at a dance in Clark, I think.
We hit it off right away. We both
liked to dance.”
The couple was married on July
25, 1961 in Jackson, Minn. at the
courthouse on their way home from
a carnival in Minnesota.
“We almost didn’t make it in time
that day,” he laughs. After they
were married, Lowell and Marge
bought a farmstead from Henry
Desnoyers and began to farm. “She
was a really hard worker. She liked
being out on the tractor and could
do everything on the farm,” said
Lowell of his wife Marge. “She had
a big garden and was good with the
animals. She didn’t care much for
the sheep, though, especially when
they would jump over the fences
in the wintertime. They were the
first to go when we sold out the livestock. Over the years I raised cattle, hogs, chickens and sheep along
with farming oats, wheat and corn
mostly.”
The couple belonged to St. Paul
Lutheran Church where Marge was
an expert at making lefse for their
annual lutefisk supper. She came
to be known for her lefse making
skills and would make extra and
sell it around the holidays.
“I was really lucky I think. We
got along really good together and
when we could get away, we liked to
travel. I’ve been to all of the lower
48 states except Rhode Island and
Connecticut,” said Pederson.
When asked about his hobbies,
Pederson likes to read, play cards
and when younger did a lot of hunting and also bowled.
He recalls big rabbit hunts when
many would encircle a quarter of
land and walk towards each other corralling the rabbits together.
“You’d learn not to shoot too soon, or
you’d end up having to carry them.
We’d sell them to Clinton Clark for
his fox farms and then have a big
feed to celebrate afterwards.”
Lowell lost his wife Marge in
2005. “She got in the habit of smoking and lung cancer got her. We had
a great life together.
“In some ways I miss the good
ole days. Kids nowdays spend too
much time in front of the television. There’s a lot of programs that
shouldn’t be on there I think.”
When asked what the best invention is he’s seen in his lifetime, his
reply was, “Probably the lawn mower.”
He advises the next generation,
“Travel if you get a chance. There’s
a lot to be seen in this country - go
out and enjoy it.”

What helps school lunch changes go down easier?
A little sweetness in how they are implemented
By Heidi Marttila-Losure, Dakotafire Media
Reporting by Doug Card, Britton Journal
and Langford Bugle; Sarah Gackle, Kulm
Messenger; Paul Kosel, Groton Daily Independent; and Garrick Moritz, Faulk County
Record
Continued
from last week
A smoother transition
While several schools had a lot
of pushback to the new rules, in
Faulkton, S.D., and Kulm, N.D.,
the requirements were implemented without much difficulty. The way
they implemented the changes may
be part of the reason for this easier
adjustment.
Giesler, who has been the cook at
Kulm for 22 years, said she believes
the adjustment went more smoothly because she had slowly been
making changes before—offering
more fruits and vegetables at the
“help yourself” salad bar, for example. There were initial grumblings
from students when changes were
implemented, but when they ate all
the fruits and vegetables offered to
them at the salad bar, they felt full
and did not complain about being
hungry.
The process in Faulkton was influenced by having student Kyle
Ortmeier involved. He had recently
gotten the school on board with the
Alliance for a Healthier Generation,
which describes itself as “a catalyst
for children’s health. We work with
schools, companies, community organizations, healthcare professionals and families to transform the
conditions and systems that lead to
healthier kids.”
That process had the school considering health effects in its decision-making before the new school
lunch rules had to be implemented.
Ortmeier serves on the national
board for the Alliance, which was
a significant help for the school
as they considered changes, said
Dr. Joel Price, superintendent for
Faulkton Area Schools. “With somebody like that on a national board,
it granted the district information
resources we wouldn’t otherwise
have had,” Price said.
Ortmeier, for example, called
upon Kari Senger, the director of
Coordinated School Health at the
S.D. Department of Education, to
help the school set up the reporting
for the new lunch plans online.
“I think a lot of the difference (between Faulkton and other schools
in implementing the rules) was that
the school was very open and above
board with everybody about what
was going on from the beginning,”
Ortmeier said. “Dr. Price and (FHS)
Principal Mr. (Craig) Cassens spoke
to all of the students about the
changes, made it clear what was going on and kept everybody informed
along the way. People did bicker or
complain about it for two weeks,
but then the complaints died out.”
Marion Nestle, a nutritionist
who has written extensively about
the school lunch changes, advocated this approach in an e-mail exchange with Dakotafire.
“(Making dietary changes more
palatable)
requires
committed
communication strategies,” Nestle
wrote. “Schools that have succeeded
in making huge changes to school
meals without causing a revolt usually have food directors who talk to
parents and kids about what the
changes are for and ask for a grace
period. If the food tastes good, the
kids will eat it, no question.”
Good-tasting food may be a factor
in Kulm, as Giesler cooks almost
all the meals from scratch. Nestle
noted that it’s significantly easier to
provide tasty, filling meals if schools
are cooking from scratch than if
they are relying on processed foods,
which often pack lots of calories but
few nutrients into a small package.
The students at Groton, for example, started their lunch boycott
after they objected to how little
was on their plates when they were
served popcorn chicken and popcorn
shrimp—both calorie-dense foods
that do little to fill up stomachs.
Ortmeier said having a salad
bar, such as the one in Kulm, can
help students fill in the cracks if the
main meal left them hungry. This
can also help ensure that students
who may not get enough nutrition
at home can get the extra calories
and, perhaps more importantly, the
nutrients they need at school.
Having a “champion” for healthy
living in the student population
likely made a big difference in the
way the changes were viewed in
Faulkton. For example, when students complained after the school
instituted a policy of no high-sugar or high-caffeine soda or sugary
snacks during school hours, Ortmeier said his friends’ complaints
were based on addiction symptoms.
“Someone said something to me
about it, and I said, ‘Dude, the reason you feel rotten is that you’re sugar crashing and you’re having caffeine withdrawals,’” Ortmeier said.
“Long-term, my friends, classmates
and fellow students don’t need that.
These changes are in no way trying
to hurt anybody, but to make the
school healthier. Healthier students
mean better athletic and academic
performance. It’s been scientifically
proven that healthier students do
better in school.”
A recent study published in
JAMA Pediatrics suggests that
school lunch requirements similar
to the ones that went into place this
year help keep kids at a healthier

weight. In schools with such requirements, students eating free
or reduced-price meals were 12.3
percent less likely to be obese than
those who didn’t eat those lunches.
The study focused on low-income
students because they are more
likely to be obese (which is likely
because less nutritious food tends to
be cheaper than healthier options).
Nestle wrote an editorial to go
with that study.
“If you take junk food and sodas
out of schools, kids don’t eat as
much of them and are healthier. If
you have strict nutrition standards
for school food, the food is healthier
and so are the kids,” Nestle wrote.
“This may all seem self-evident, but
now we have research to prove it.”
And with these new standards,
students all across the nation are
going to benefit. Whether they like
it or not.

Representative Kristi Noem’s office.
Other sites toured were Arlington
National Cemetery and the Smithsonian Institute Museums.
In New York City, the students

around the Statue of Liberty and

of the trip. The group attended the
Broadway Show, The Lion King.
On the last day in New York City,

educational experience for all,” said
group advisor Kim Bratland.
