Cole Elshere joined the PRCA
in 2010 and it didnt take him
long to qualify for his first trip to
the Wrangler National Finals
Rodeo in Las Vegas, earning al-
most $66,000, placing him in the
top 15 in the world in saddle
bronc.
Cole grew up on his folks
ranch north of Faith, along with
his sister Kami. Like most young
cowboys, he became involved in 4-
H, where he started his riding ca-
reer, riding his first saddle bronc
at Rodeo Bible Camp when he
was 13.
Cole attended grade school in
the country and came to Faith for
his four years of high school. Cole
participated in football and was a
member of the FHS Rodeo Club.
In those four years as a member
of the club he rode bulls, bareback
and saddle bronc, and even team
roped and steer wrestled. In those
four years he qualified for the
State High School Rodeo four
times and won Sr. All Around his
senior year. Cole also qualified for
the National HS Rodeo in saddle
bronc, bulls and bareback his sen-
ior year. Cole went on to Gillette
College where he was on the
rodeo team competing in bulls,
saddle bronc and some bareback.
Cole credits his ability to ride
to God. His biggest influences are
his cousins, Ryan and J.J.
Elshere, and his Dad whos al-
ways been there to help him prac-
tice. Cole knew he wanted to be a
bronc rider because he wanted to
be like those cousins.
Coles traveling partners have
been Chuck Schmidt, Troy
Crowser, and Jesse Bail. He has
gone to 100 Pro rodeos, 6 PRS
rough stock rodeos, and 6 bronc
matches and has driven 100,000
miles and got on a dozen flights.
They dont just rodeo when on the
road. Theyve had a lot of fun in
between rodeos like going snow-
boarding, and going to a water-
park. Jesse Bail and Troy
Crowser got the chance to help
Flying 5 Stock Contracters rope
and cut bucking horse studs.
They appreciate Dwayne Vig fly-
ing them around on the 4th of
July and he also appreciates his
sponsors, Panhandle Slim, Sweet-
pro, and Rodeomart.
Coles had several PRCA wins
and places this past season. He
won the NILE Pro Rodeo in
Billings, MT, Yellowstone River
Round-Up in Billings, Range
Days Rodeo, Rapid City, Buffalo
Bill Rodeo, N. Platte, NE, and
North Central Rodeo, Medford,
WI. He was co-champ at New
Mexico State Fair Rodeo, Albu-
querque, American Royal Rodeo
in Kansas City, MO, and Guy-
mon Pioneer Days Rodeo, Okla-
homa. Cole says his favorite rodeo
is the Days of 76 because of its
hometown feel.
When Cole is not rodeoing, he
ranches with his folks and breaks
horses. In his spare time he en-
joys hunting, watching pro foot-
ball and playing cribbage.
This young man, who turns 23
on December 12th, is riding high.
Cole is ranked 13th in the world
which is pretty darn good for his
first year. With his talent and
ability, Im sure well be seeing
and hearing much more of him in
the future at the NFR. Who
knows, he could be another Billy
Etbauer! We wish him the best of
luck at his first showing! I know
well all be watching him, if not
there, then on television, and
cheering him on next month! Hell
have some competition from the
other South Dakotan, Chad Fer-
ley, who will also be competing in
saddle bronc at the Finals.
There will be a send-off party
for Cole this Friday night at the
VFW with a potluck supper at 6.
Go down and wish him luck!

Faith City Council met at 5:00
on Tuesday, Nov. 20th. Council
meets at 5:30 the first Tuesday of
the month and 5:00 on the third
Tuesday when they have commit-
tee reports.
Patty Hauser, bar manager,
said they sold the tv in bar and
would like to get a flat screen to
replace it. Also the cooler behind
the bar should be replaced. She
has karaoke scheduled for New
Years Eve and would like to have
a Ladies Night before the end of
the year. Mayor Haines asked if
they could possibly hold a crib-
bage tournament one night a
week, for 6 weeks or so. Patty was
willing if someone would help.
Jerry Spencer offered to help her
and will meet with her to work
out the details.
Donn Dupper thanked Council
for the additional funds for a
bucket truck. With the additional
dollars he thought they should be
able to find a pretty good one. He
also said they need to start plan-
ning for snow removal, and noti-
fying those who park on the
streets.
Police Chief Frankfurth said
the ordinance regarding towing
vehicles that park on the streets
needs to be in the paper. Hoss
gave Cindys ambulance report.
The ambulance door at the hall
got wrecked recently. They are
waiting for an insurance esti-
mate. The ambulance had 16
runs in October and 12 drivers li-
censes were transacted. He sug-
gested maybe the three heaters in
the ambulance barn should be
moved. The ambulances sit in
front of them so the heaters run
constantly trying to warm the
building. Nolan and Fred Hulm
are working on quotes. He also
wondered about an electric
garage door opener.
Council went into further dis-
cussion on a bucket truck. Donn
would like to draw up the specs
for an All-Tech truck so it works
with their equipment. He called
several places and some are re-
conditioned rigs, but almost like
new. If they cant find one this
year maybe they can carry it over
to next year. Dupper will meet
with Atty. Bogue about drawing
up the specs for advertising for an
All-Tech truck.
Donn reported that the water
tower needs some repair work on
the bottom. Some of the cover has
torn off so the pipes they are not
insulated. Insurance will cover

Funeral services for Ingrid H.
Gebhart, age 88, of Meadow, SD
were held at 10:30 a.m. on Satur-
day, November 24, 2012 at the In-
dian Creek Lutheran Church
near Meadow, SD. Rev. Bob Ed-
wards officiated with burial in the
Chance Cemetery.
Special music was provided by
Carol Nelson, organist.
Ingrid Hjordis (Flatmoe) Geb-
hart was born July 12, 1924 to
Christopher and Petra (Kornstad)
Flatmoe at Skage in Namdalen,
Norway. Ingrid was baptized that
same year at Overhalla Church in
Skage. On June 15, 1941 Ingrid
was confirmed at Indian Creek
Church at Chance, SD.
In May of 1929, with the en-
couragement of Petras family,
who were already in America,
Christopher and Petra Flatmoe
and their 4 children Hanna, In-
grid, Clara and Iver sailed for
America aboard the Slavangers-
fjord. One of Ingrids memories of
the voyage was her dad holding
Iver up by the railings and being
scared that he might drop him
overboard. After 9 days on the
boat the family arrived at Ellis Is-
land on May 25, 1929. They
boarded a train and continued to
Lemmon, SD where they were
met by Petras mother, Karin
Gustofson, and her brother Knute
Kornstad. From there the family
rode in a 1927 Whippit car to her
Grandparents farm near Coal
Springs, SD. This was the fam-
ilys first car ride.
Ingrid started school in the fall
of 1930 at Coal Springs, she could
not speak a word of English at the
time. Her teacher was Leone
McMahon, who became a life-long
friend. Ingrid and Hanna would
sit around the kitchen table in the
evening and teach English to
their parents. Ingrid and Hanna
finished grade school in 1938 and
started at Meadow Central High
School the next fall. The fall of
1940 they continued their educa-
tion at Lemmon High School,
graduating with the Class of
1942.
On December 25, 1943 Ingrid
was united in marriage to Arnold
Gebhart. They began their life to-
gether on a farm 7 miles north-
east of Glad Valley. To this union
6 children were born. In 1965
they purchased her parents place
and moved back to the Coal
Springs area. According to Ingrid
her greatest accomplishment in
life was being a mother to her 6
children. She was very proud of
her family.
She was a long time member of
Indian Creek Lutheran Church.
She was very active in the ladies
aide. She was known for her lefse
at the Fall Dinners. She served
many pies and rolls at the Faith
sale barn. Long hours were spent
quilting for the church.
Gardening was especially en-
joyable for Ingrid.She truly loved
nurturing her various vegetable
and flower gardens. She will al-
ways be remembered for her
beautiful flower gardens.She was
an exceptionally good cook, one of
the best! To quote a neighbor,
She could make anything taste
good. There was always enough
food for everyone who stopped at
meal time and nobody ever left
her table hungry. Her children
and grandchildren will never for-
get her Norwegian goodies, raisin
cookies, and especially her deli-
cious caramel rolls.
In September of 2007 she
moved into the Five Counties
Nursing Home in Lemmon. Over
the next five years the staff be-
came part of her family. She re-
mained there until her passing,
Nov.17, 2012 with her family at
her side.
Hard work and honesty were
traits passed on to Ingrid from
her parents. She was a respected
member of her community. Ingrid
was ready with a helping hand
whenever it was needed. Her
faith and beliefs set an admiral
example for others. Her children,
grandchildren and great grand-
children have wonderful memo-
ries of this remarkable lady. She
will be greatly missed by all who
knew her.
Grateful for sharing her life
are her two sons and daughters-
in-law, Mike and Jane Gebhart,
Meadow, SD and Keith and Deb-
bie Gebhart, Gillette, WY; four
daughters and sons-in-law, Linda
and John Wilkens, Maple Grove,
MN, Leanne and Ken Loeschke,
Rapid City, SD, Lenai and Larry
Lauriston, Birmingham, AL and
Virginia and Kirk Milles, Rock-
ford, WA; 16 grandchildren; 22
great-grandchildren; two brothers
and three sisters-in-law, Harold
and Lillian Flatmoe, Meadow, SD
and Ken and Charlotte Flatmoe,
Sturgis, SD, Helen Flatmoe,
Rapid City, SD; two sisters and
one brother-in-law, Hanna and
George Allen Iverson, Murdo, SD
and Clara Duncan, Mobridge, SD;
and numerous nieces and
nephews.
Ingrid was preceded in death
by her parents, Chris and Petra;
one brother, Iver; one grandson,
Ryan Scott; her niece, Carol Flat-
moe; her great-niece, Carrie Beth
Flatmoe; and life-long friend
Leone McMahon.
Visitation was Friday, Novem-
ber 23, 2012 followed by a family
service all at the Evanson-Jensen
Funeral Home in Lemmon.

has been established.

For the the past 27 years, Las
Vegas has gone country for 10
days in December as the city
hosts the Wrangler National Fi-
nals Rodeo where world champi-
onships are decided.
This years rodeo is December
6-15 and will feature 10 nights of
the best contestants from the Pro-
fessional Rodeo Cowboys Associa-
tion and Womens Professional
Rodeo Association. Up for grabs is
over six million dollars in prize
money and world championships
in bareback riding, steer
wrestling, team roping, saddle
bronc riding, tie-down roping,
womens barrel racing and bull
riding.
South Dakota will be well rep-
resented with six qualifiers for
this years WNFR. There are two
qualifiers in saddle bronc riding,
Chad Ferley, Oelrichs, who won
the world championship in 2006,
and Cole Elshere, Faith, who has
qualified for the first time. Ferley
is making his sixth appearance at
the WNFR and will enter the
rodeo in sixth place with $76,366.
Elshere is in 13th with $65,837.
Todd Suhn, Hermosa, has
qualified for the 16th time in
ninth place with $66,136. This
years qualification ties him with
Byron Walker, Ennis, Texas, for
the second most WNFR qualifica-
tions in steer wrestling. Roy Du-
vall, Boynton, Okla., is first with
24.
Representing the barrel racers
will be Lisa Lockhart, Oelrichs,
and Nikki Steffes, Vale. Lockhart
has qualified for the sixth consec-
utive time. She will start the
rodeo in ninth place with $72,462.
This is Steffes first qualification.
She started the year with a big
win at the Fort Worth Stock Show
and Rodeo and over $10,000 last
February. Steffes had an out-
standing college career while at-
tending the University of
Wyoming where she won the
womens national all-around title
twice. She will be attending den-
tal school in the future but has
put that on hold to take advan-
tage of having an outstanding
horse, Dash Ta Vanilla, that she
calls Nilla. They are in sixth
place in the regular season stand-
ings with $86,722.
Making his second appearance
in the bull riding will be Timber
Lakes Ardie Maier. Maier quali-
fied in 2010, but injuries kept him
from making the trip in 2011.
This year he is in sixth place in
the world standings with $90,191.
To compete at the WNFR, con-
testants had to be among the top
15 in the world standings. They
traveled across the United States
paying their own entry fees and
expenses hoping to earn enough
money to be among the elite ath-
letes who advance to rodeos
championship event. The WNFR
has seen continued growth in
prize money and fan support
since it moved to Las Vegas. Each
contestant will compete in 10 in-
dividual rounds which will pay
the winner $18,257. On December
15 their total scores and times
will be added together for average
placings. First place in that cate-
gory will win $46,820 and a sad-
dle as the WNFR champion.
World championships are de-
termined by adding a contestants
WNFR and regular season earn-
ings together. Those champions
have the esteemed honor of wear-
ing the traditional gold buckle
that signifies they are the worlds
best in the sport of rodeo.
Jess Tierney, Hermosa, sits
12th in the all-around standing.
He qualified for the steer roping
by taking the seventh place spot.
The National Finals Steer Rop-
ing, held separately from the
WNFR, was November 8-9 in
Guthrie, Okla.

Dear Editor:
From a recent AP story: GOP-
led states warming to the health
care law is terribly misleading.
Unreported are at least 17 states
who have rejected the mandates
in Obamacare. For example, Mon-
tana and Wyoming just passed
initiated measures prohibiting
both state and federal govern-
ment from mandating anyone to
purchase health insurance.
Wyomings Constitutional
Amendment states: No fed-
eral or state law, rule or ad-
ministrative decision shall
compel, directly or indirectly,
any person, employer, or
health care provider to par-
ticipate in any health care
system. Plus, their Governor
has refused to set up Oba-
macares mandated state in-
surance exchange.
A growing number of con-
cerned citizens of this Republic
are no longer willing to recur to
Congress to repeal unconstitu-
tional laws or to file legal com-
plaints in the hope that the courts
will strike down offensive meas-
ures. They understand that while
perhaps commendable, these tac-
tics are futile and offer no guar-
antee of the restoration of
constitutionally ensured freedom.
They refuse to wait on this or that
President, this or that Congress-
man, or this or that political party
to acknowledge their pleas for re-
lief from federal oppression. In-
stead, they unashamedly will
assume their right and their duty
to derail this long train of abuses
and usurpations and provide
new Guards for their future secu-
ritythe states and themselves.
They are declaring that the col-
lective will of the people acting as
states, are the highest authority
in our government based on solid
precedences of our founders.
Alexander Hamilton and Thomas
Jefferson penned the Kentucky
and Virginia Resolutions of 1798
and 1799 declaring the (federaal)
Alien and Sedition Acts null and
void. Earlier, Federalist #33 and
#45 confirmed that states not
only have the right; they have the
moral and legal obligation to de-
clare certain acts of the federal
government as unconstitutional.
Unfortunately, South Dakota
is not one of these 17 states.
Please contact your legislators
and sinsist they follow our
neioghbors lead and and nullify
Obamacare now!
Sincerely,
Gary Veldere
Newell, SD
Dear Editor:
I think the taxpayers of Meade
County need to know that their
commisioners (who are one of the
Letters to the Editor
most of the cost of the repairs. He
thought they should get a rough
inspection of the tank as its been
several years. There is some rust
on the outside but the interior
should be in good shape. Council
approved the contract with the
company for inspection up to a
$1500 limit upon Donns ap-
proval, without having to go back
to Council for approval.
Donn said there are some peo-
ple who are removing snow from
their driveways, etc. and putting
it in the streets for the city crew
to remove. He didnt think the
city should be hauling their snow.
He thought maybe letters should
be sent out notifying property
owners of this fact. There are also
some tracter trailers around town
that need a parking area so arent
on the street.
Council approved three resolu-
tions: #11-20-12-01 for transfer of
funds, #11-20-12-02 for Capital
Outlay transfers, and #03 for
transfer of lottery funds.
The second reading of Ordi-
nance #301 for Capital Outlay
amounts was approved. Repairs
and Economic Development were
over. Telephone and electrical
were allotted $30,000 in case
needed for a digger truck, etc.
The Festival of Trees will be
held in the Frontier Room begin-
ning November 27th and running
through Dec. 3rd. The display will
be open during Vilas hours. There
will be a wine and cheese tasting
on the 3rd. Groups, businesses,
individuals, whoever can decorate
a tree or wreath to display. These
will be auctioned off on the 3rd
and the proceeds will go to a local
organization or maybe several.
Council approved the City paying
for the wine and cheese.
The Durkee Lake lease was
discussed. Mayor Haines won-
dered if there were any stipula-
tions that they need to change.
Moisture is a big factor in the
lease. Karen thought the grazing
would be better if they have to
move livestock off the land for a
time. She thought they needed to
set a time limit and amount of
livestock allowed. Council ap-
proved changing the lease to sum-
mer grazing from June 1 to
December 1, with a limit of 25
pairs or 35 yearlings allowed. If
we dont get any moisture they
can always reject any bids. Coun-
cil also discussed moving some of
the fence at the lake. Glen has
been working with Denny Topf
and the landowner about the
fence.
Debbie said the guy that does
their gym floor has 6x100 rugs
they can purchase that only need
to be vacuumed. Council will fin-
ish out this year with their cur-
rent supplier then purchase
these, which will save them
money in the long run.

gave themselves a raise, yet cut
the coroners wages $12,000 a
yearrecently. He has been at this
position for 11 years it'a a 24-7
job, with each call taking from 2
to 5 hours, depending on the situ-
ation, and where it's at. He has
never had anyone wanting to take
the job away from him. Our
county is huge, and if he's called,
he goes.
I feel this cut should be ques-
tioned, how do they justify their
raise, and take that much away
from the coroners job. Hopefully
he can get some public support...
This is a thankless job, but he has
done it well, and has been very
dedicated. I wonder how many of
them would do the job for what
they are now paying the coroners
position.

stock and he stayed to go the sale
on Monday as well.
Tracy Ingalls left early Satur-
day morning to drive to Chamber-
lain, SD to meet her niece and
pick up her sister Deborah and
bring her back to her home in
Sturgis.
John and Carmen Heidler had
company at their home on Satur-
day for dinner and visiting. They
were friends from Cavalier, ND.
Heilders then made a quick trip
over to Vale for a birthday party
and hurried back to Opal for an-
other birthday party.
Sunday dinner guests of the
Sam Cowles family were Lynn,
Nancy and Katy Miller, Duane
and JoAnn Wood and Marty Vig.
Jason Ingalls and Shelby Cam-
mack joined Rod, Tracy and
Justin Ingalls for Sunday dinner.
Looks like another Thanksgiv-
ing Day under the belt in more
ways than one. The weather was
good, but of course, the wind had
to blow and bring a few snow or
ice pellet flurries just to remind
us we are in South Dakota.
Just to have some news for a
change I called around and asked
folks about their Thanksgiving
Day.
Sally Hlavka told me she just
stayed home. She will have the
whole group at Christmas so
shell catch up on family time
then. Doug and Val Hlavka had
dinner at their house with all the
extended Price/Hlavka family.
Brett and Ashley Price stopped by
on their way home from Bretts
surgery in Rochester, Minnesota.
Hes got some major recovery
time now but things looked good
the last I heard.
Jim and Vonnie ODea spent
Thanksgiving with Dan and
Susan Deichert, Mary, Amy, and
Michael, Holly and Doug Phillips
and Paige and friends of the De-
ichert girls in Spearfish. Jims
brother, Dean ODea of Vale was
also a Thanksgiving guest of the
Deicherts.
Robert and Lacey Won-
dercheck and Quirt drove to
Wyoming to spend Thanksgiving
with the Wondercheck side of the
family. Their day was hosted by
Donita and Grant Munn and fam-
ily of Gillette. Quirt had a won-
derful day because that side of
the family has little kids to play
with.
Amy and Dan, Abigail and
Emily Wicks and Thane Escott,
had cousins of Amys from Okla-
homa and friends from Wyoming
to help them celebrate the day.
We were told that Bob and
LaVonne Hansen were having all
their kids for the day but I could
not get them on the phone
tonight. Hope thats the correct
information.
Allen Waterland went to Min-
nesota to celebrate the holiday
with his sons and their families,
Robert, Ann, Oliver and Otto Wa-
terland and Jon and Ruth Water-
land.
Gretchen, Arlie and Jason
Radway drove to Philip to attend
a Thorsen family gathering that
was held at the Legion Hall.
Gretchen said Greta had friends
over that day while Matt and
Kendra had her family at their
home.
Harold drove us to New Under-
wood to spend the day at the
home of Kim and George Langen-
dorfer and Shane. Joining us
were Marv and Norma Williams
of Owanka, Jill, Ted, Daniel,
Mathew, Timothy and Emma
Schilling, and Chet, Kristen, and
Kadence Kilmer all of Spearfish.
Kristen will have her cancer
check-up next week so we are
praying all goes well.
Tucker and Bev Hudson drove
to Burke, SD on Wednesday to
spend Thanksgiving with Brad
and Tela Hutchison family.
DAnne Thompsons sister,
Kelly LaRue, and mother, Maxine
Bongard, of Rapid City were
guests of DAnne, Bub, Amanda
and Troy Thompson. Harold and
I joined them for supper that
evening.
Amanda Thompson now has a
part-time job in Rapid City at a
large department store. She had
to be at work by 4:00 Friday
morning so the clerks were ready
for the 4:30 opening. She got off
work at 9:00 or 9:30 that night. I
know many people like this big
sales event but Im not one of
them. I am saddened by the way
we have turned all of our holidays
into commercialized zoos! I still
believe in shopping at home as
much as we can. I know folks who
drive to Rapid City to buy gro-
ceries because there was a sale on
beans and they saved 3 cents per
can. Honey, you better buy a lot of
beans to make up for the 40-50
dollars of gas you just spent get-
ting there plus the meals for all
the family members. When your
sewer/water system breaks down
on a holiday who will stay open
for you to run to town for re-
pairs? I dont think anyplace but
Faith would set your item out
front so you can pick it up when
you get to town. Who sponsors
your childs sports teams, 4-H
events and school activities? I
never did get anything out of Wal-
mart, Kmart, Target, etc., but I
sure have from all the Faith busi-
nesses and the little area folks.
Ive never forgotten the time
Lorena Derflinger crawled under
my Expedition to retrieve the
money I dropped on the street!
Dont get service like that at a big
bank!! Look around, spend some
of your money in your hometown
so we can continue to have a
hometown.
The weekend before Thanks-
giving, Tucker and Bev Hudson
went to Spearfish to watch Win-
ston, Wacey and Wregan Brown
in the Little Britches Rodeo on
Saturday and Sunday at the 7
Down Arena. They were
overnight guests of Ed and Joyce
Buccholz in Belle Fourche.
Helen Kilness and Gene Cren-
shaw have been guests of Gwen
Kilness and family this past
week. Monday afternoon, Marv
and Norma Williams, Harold Wa-
terland and Quirt Wondercheck
called on Gwen, Helen and Gene
for an afternoon of visiting. Helen
and Gene flew back toCalifornia
on Friday.
Robert Wondercheck and Nick
Caspers spent two days in Wor-
land, Wyo. grooming bulls this
past weekend. They drove in
snow and sleet coming home Sun-
day.
Vonnie and Jim ODeas grand-
daughter, Amy placed third in the
average of the NRCA finals held
in the Hills this weekend. Con-
gratulations Amy. Vonnie also
mentioned that Amy had headed
for college at Chadron, Nebraska
right after the rodeo today but
ran into such heavy rain at
Olerichs, SD that she could only
drive safely at 40 mph. Some day
it should get us a little moisture.
It keeps tantalizing us but not
quite getting here!
Don't forget the annual Christ-
mas Party at the Plainview Hall
Sun. Dec. 2. Holiday Court whist
will be played starting around 2,
supper will be at 5. Soups will be
furnished, bring a dessert or
salad. Utensils and drinks will be
furnished. A traveling gift ex-
change will follow the supper. If
you don't want to play whist,
bring a game or just come and
visit. Some folks like to play crib-
bage or dominoes. Gift is to be
from $5-10, mark lady or man.
Everyone welcome.
The annual Christmas Candle-
light Service will be held Sunday
afternoon, December 23rd at4:30
at the Marcus Presbyterian
Church. Pastor Connie will be
traveling onto Faith Methodist
Church for candlelight services at
7 p.m. There will be a snack after
the service so please bring your
favorite Christmas treat to share
with all.

We had warmer temperatures
the early part of last week, but
Thanksgiving Day was a cold,
windy day, and its been cold
since. Temperatures are to be in
the 30s and low 40s this week.
Doris Frankfurth hosted
Thanksgiving dinner at Country-
side Estates. Joining Doris for
dinner were: Carmen Russell of
Dupree, Hoss, Cindy, and Austin
Frankfurth, Brady Gilliland,
Kenny and Donna Teller, Cody
Teller and fiance Ashley, nephew
Rod and Rebecca English and
three children, and a few of the
residents who live there. Doris
said some of the relatives couldnt
make it due to illness.
About a dozen guests enjoyed
Thanksgiving dinner at the Sen-
ior Center with JR and Sandy
Rasmussen.
Diane Isaacs and Cindy Escott
went to Rapid City on Thanksgiv-
ing Day and did a little shopping.
They enjoyed breakfast and visit-
ing Friday morning with Jeannie
and Carolyn. They returned home
Friday afternoon.
Mike Fischbach flew in to
Rapid City from Kansas on
Thanksgiving Day and spent a
couple days with Dave and Eldora
at their house in Rapid City last
week. They drove home to Faith
Saturday. Mike got in a little vis-
iting with Noel and Kathy while
they were here. Dave took Mike
back to Rapid City Monday
evening to catch his flight back
home Tuesday morning.
I know the Antrim clan had a
big gathering for Thanksgiving.
Bob was able to be home with
them.
Ryan and Sheila Fisher and
children spent the Thanksgiving
weekend here visiting family.
Rich and Sherry Kokesh were
Thanksgiving dinner guests of
Tom and Carole Sternad.
Paul and I drove over to
Spearfish on Thanksgiving Day
and had dinner with Wes and
Nick at Luckys at the Holiday
Inn. The Doaks were all there
eating dinner, too. From there
Paul and I went over to Rapid
City. Melissa joined us there later
in the afternoon. Melissa and I
joined the 3 million plus other
shoppers for Black Friday sales.
We started about 7:30 Thursday
night and went until about 3:30
in the morning. We went back to
the room for about 3 hours and
went back at it for a few more
hours. It was a long night!! But it
was kind of fun.
I know there were many more
with family here visiting for
Thanksgiving but nobody shared.
It sounds like they had a good
time at Robert Ulrichs surprise
50th birthday party Saturday
night. Happy belated birthday
Robert!
The girls will have their first
basketball game of the season
next week, on December 6th, and
the boys will open their season on

Pauls Feed & Seed of Faith
was honored recently by the
South Dakota Farm Bureau with
the Friend of Agriculture
award, in recognition for its serv-
ice to the agriculture community
in Faith and the surrounding
area.
Farmers and ranchers
couldnt do what they do without
supportive local businesses that
understand the needs of todays
agricultural producers, said
Scott VanderWal, President of
the South Dakota Farm Bureau
and family farmer from Volga,
S.D. It is our pleasure to recog-
nize Pauls Seed & Feed and the
work they do to sustain agricul-
ture in Faith and the surrounding
community.
Businesses are nominated by
their local county Farm Bureau.
SDFB also presented the
Friend of Agriculture award to

PIERRE, S.D. South Dakota
may have experienced its first
highway fatality-free Thanksgiv-
ing holiday in a decade, prelimi-
nary reports to the Department of
Public Safety indicate.
Statistics from Public Safetys
Office of Accident Records show
that 2003 was the last Thanksgiv-
ing travel period without a
recorded highway fatality in
South Dakota. Late reports from
the past weekend could change
this years outcome, but as of mid-
day Monday, Nov. 26, the Office of
Accident Records had received no
reports of fatal crashes in South
Dakota during the period.
The Thanksgiving travel pe-
riod starts a full month of holiday
travel, meaning more people
going more places, said Col.
Craig Price, superintendent of the
South Dakota Highway Patrol.
Its a festive time, but it also can
be stressful and hectic. That
makes it more important than
ever for all of us to be safe. Please
wear seatbelts, obey speed laws
and dont drink and drive.
To drive that point home, the
Highway Patrol kicked off the
holiday travel period on Wednes-
day, Nov. 21, with a high-visibil-
ity Operation Safe campaign.
That statewide effort involved
nearly every uniformed Highway
Patrol member. The primary pur-
pose of Operation Safe was to re-
mind motorists to make safe and
responsible driving decisions dur-
ing their holiday travel.
Statewide during the day-long
Operation Safe campaign on Nov.
21, troopers responded to 31
crashes during the operation,
made six DUI arrests and nine
drug arrests and assisted 38 mo-
torists on the highway.

Every day and every week,
newspapers package and publish
news, information and advertise-
ments in a product that is made
available to the public.
A common piece in all of it is
the name of the newspaper. The
newspaper name almost always
dominates the top of the front
page of the printed newspaper or
the top of the newspapers web-
site. In the newspaper business,
we call it the flag or the name-
plate. But it is much more than
just a newspaper name.
A newspaper's flag is a repre-
sentation of a newspapers credi-
bility and brand. It is a
newspapers trademark. It tells
those who read the newspaper
that the publisher stands behind
the information found in the
newspaper.
In short, a newspaper flag con-
veys instant familiarity and con-
nection for those who read it. A
newspaper's flag is a powerful
thing.
So it is no wonder some south-
eastern South Dakota residents
were confused when they received
a political campaign piece in the
mail just before the November 6
election that looked very similar
to a local weekly newspaper. The
campaign mailer included a flag
that was similar in design and
type style to the local weekly
newspaper, the Dakota Dunes
North Sioux City Times.
The campaign mailer, called
the Lincoln Union County
Times, was paid for by the Union
County Republican Party, whose
chairman is state Senator Dan
Lederman, as a promotional piece
for GOP candidates.
Shortly after the campaign
mailer showed up in mailboxes,
Times Publisher Bruce Odson
began receiving calls from local
residents confused by it. Was his
newspaper responsible for this
campaign literature? Odson as-
sured them he was not.
Nevertheless, the confusion
was out there. A few days later,
Odson published a front-page
story in his newspaper, telling
readers that the real Times was
not responsible for the political
campaign Times and that he did
not appreciate confusion by it or
the apparent deception intended
by those responsible for it.
Newspaper publishers take se-
riously their job of publishing ac-
curate, fair information and
building trust with their readers.
Businesses big and small in-
vest millions of dollars to build
and promote their image and
brand. Fords blue oval. McDon-
ald's golden arches. Apples little
apple. All designed to instantly
connect with their customers.
Newspapers do the same thing
with their flag. Most South
Dakota newspapers have been
conveying a connection with their
readers and a sense of public
trust via their newspaper flag for
more than a century.
Any unauthorized use of that
newspaper's brand and trade-
mark undermines that connection
and trust. Apple would not like it
if someone misused its iconic logo.
South Dakota newspaper publish-
ers dont like it either when some-
one abuses the trust and
connection they have worked
hard to build with their readers
and community.
Its been said that imitation is
the sincerest form of flattery. And
perhaps we should be flattered
Political campaign mailer confuses readers,
threatens newspapers independent credibility
by David Bordewyk, S.D. Newspaper Assoc.
that a political campaign would
emulate one of our newspapers to
further its agenda. But the risk of
confusing our readers and poten-
tially weakening our credibility as
an independent source of informa-
tion is simply too steep a price to
pay.

Distracted driving is
DUMB driving. With the in-
creased amount of traffic, you
need to keep two hands on the
wheel and both eyes on the road.
Talking on your cell phone (even
hands-free sets), texting, eating,
even fiddling with the radio or
other technological devices takes
your attention away from your
driving.Studies show it only takes

Question: Do disabled chil-
dren qualify for disability bene-
fits?
Answer: There are two Social
Security disability programs that
provide benefits for disabled chil-
dren. Under the Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) program, a
child from birth to age 18 may re-
ceive monthly payments based on
disability or blindness if:
The child has an impairment
or combination of impairments
that meets the definition of dis-
ability for children; and
The income and resources of
the parents and the child are
within the allowed limits.
Under Social Security, an
adult child (a person age 18 or
older) may receive monthly bene-
fits based on disability or blind-
ness if:
The adult child has an im-
pairment or combination of im-
pairments that meet the
definition of disability for adults;
The disability began before
age 22; and
A parent of the adult child
worked long enough to be insured
under Social Security and is re-
ceiving retirement or disability
benefits, or is deceased.
Under both of these programs,
the child must not be doing any
substantial work. The child also
must have a medical condition
that is expected to last at least
one year or result in death. Learn
more at

tative, was present to share the benefits
of the Section 125 flex plan with the
board as well as answer any questions.
Mrs. Baye gave the superintendents
report. Midterm for the second quarter is
on November 21st and grades are due
November 27th. Kindergarten just cele-
brated 50 days of school. The football,
cross country and volleyball teams have
completed their seasons and all-in-all
they finished well. The Data Retreat for
the staff was part of the in-service on Oc-
tober 26th. The staff reviewed the test
scores from the Dakota STAP and ACT
for the spring from the spring of 2012
and looked at the Emetric for progress
on the standards in math and science.
Areas for improvement and suggested
strategies to meet goals were imple-
mented from performance data and eval-
uation analysis. Mrs. Baye attended the
NWAS Superintendents meeting on No-
vember 6th where they discussed staff
evaluations and performance sum-
maries, ESA update, the winter move
schedule, damage to units in the storm,
staff changes and the speech shortage
and an update for speech tuition reim-
bursement. The Academic Olympics and
Spelling Bee dates were switched be-
cause of the math contest at NSU. Mrs.
Baye participated in a webinar on the Ac-
countability Model and SPI scores for
evaluating districts. The Special Educa-
tion Review has been scheduled for Feb-
ruary 7th. The auditors from EideBailly
were here in early October to audit fiscal
year 2012. The Veterans Day program
was held on November 12th. Sharron
Johnson and Mrs. Baye attended the
School Law Seminar on October 24th in
Pierre. November 11-17th is American
Education Week. School will be dis-
missed at 1:00 on Wednesday the 21st
for Thanksgiving Vacation.
Mr. Daughters shared some informa-
tion and recommendation for the upcom-
ing Senior Experience/Capstone
requirement beginning in the fall of 2013.
The students will be finalizing their 2nd
semester schedules between Thanks-
giving and Christmas. Beginning on Jan-
uary 7th Tyrell Bonnet will be coming to
our school as a student teacher to work
with Mrs. King in 7-12 science. Darla
Chapman will be spending 16 hours
doing student observations during the
week of November 26th. Mr. Daughters
has begun the formal observation
process of the certified staff.
Mrs. Baye read the library report.
There are 12 registered preschoolers for
Story Hour. Their Fall Fun party was held
on October 31st. Angela attended the
SDLA conference and reported back.
The roof gutters were placed on the
building and repairs have been made.
Zane King will make a new sign that will
be placed closer to the east door for pa-
trons to see and use that door. The old
sign needs to be removed. Angela will
ask about the proceeds from the auc-
tioned items and if the funds will be
placed in the library fund. The board is
still reviewing the technology plan.
Scott Vance gave the NWAS report.
Vance attended via conference call on
November 7th. They discussed the win-
ter move and scheduling more time to try
to avoid any excess damage to the units.
Mrs. Baye reported that the auction
brought in just over $3,000.00 and the
auctioneers did not charge any commis-
sion. The money from Modern Wood-
men of America has been allocated for
trees through Rocking Tree Floral and
Landscaping in Sturgis but the trees will
not be planted this fall because of the dry
conditions. The Beverly Baxter memorial
tree has been planted in the front of the
building by Dennis and Janet Fernau.
The safe room has not been decided yet
but they are still moving forward and
hope to hear something soon. The Faith
School sign donated by the Class of
2011 has been put up. Bret Hanson
asked about the pump control and why
it has not been moved and why.
Bret Hanson gave a policy committee
report. The Mission/Vision statement is
ready for the 1st reading. They have
been working on Home School Participa-
tion in classroom activities and athletics
and differentiated them between the el-
ementary school, middle school and high
school.
Brian Simonson will be attending the
Delegate Assembly in Pierre on Novem-
ber 16th. The ASBSD website has the
proposals for the upcoming legislative
session. He asked the board members
to review them and contact him with any
concerns they may have.
The Superintendents evaluation will
be held prior to the December board
meeting.
Mr. Daughters shared information
about the strategic planning the staff had
done. They identified the areas of weak-
ness based on the students test scores
and areas they need to address. The dis-
trict set a district goal as a staff and each
individual staff member set classroom
goals to help meet the district goal.
Mrs. Baye and Sharron Johnson
shared some of the information they re-
ceived at the School Law seminar and
encouraged anyone who wanted to read
the information to do so.
Discussion on the school building
opening was held. Currently the east
gym door is opened at 7:45 for students
to get in out of the cold and the building
is open to students at 7:50. Hanson
stated he felt that the district is always
looking for ways to increase test scores
and improve student achievement and
he felt having adequate access to the
teachers was a big part of that and the
doors need to be open earlier. Johnson
shared that the doors are also locked
early in the afternoons. Kids are often
doing homework late into the night and
are not going to call their teachers late at
night to make an appointment to see
them in the morning. They had better ac-
cess to the teachers while they were in
the mobile units. Mrs. Baye stated the
staff is on on-duty prior to 7:50 and the
students are not directly supervised.
Brian Simonson asked if the administra-
tion and/or teachers would be willing to
keep an eye on things when they arrive
in the mornings so the kids could have
the access they need. Johnson stated
she was disappointed this discussion
was coming up again since it had been
discussed last month and if it continues
to be a problem, it may need to be ad-
dressed through policy.
Mrs. Baye shared the STARS ac-
countability model that will be used to re-
place NCLB and the school report card.
STARS stands for Student and Teacher
Accountability Standards that the
schools will be held to.
Bret Hanson asked if the Facilities
Committee had discussed the future of
the old administration building and/or
what the plans are for the building. It
could be used for storage and/or rented
out as a source of revenue.
No new information was available on
the minor boundary change.
Sharron Johnson informed the board
of an outstanding invoice for Albertsons
that had not been fully paid by Lund As-
sociates. Albertsons would like the dis-
trict to pay a portion of the unpaid invoice
at approximately $2,700.00. Motion by
Vance, 2nd by Simonson to table action
until the board could discuss it with legal
counsel. Motion carried.
Sharron Johnson read a letter of res-
ignation submitted by Mrs. Baye resign-
ing her position as superintendent at the
end of her contract year. Motion Hanson,
2nd by Simonson to approve Mrs.
Bayes resignation. Hanson, Johnson,
and Simonson aye. Vance nay. Mo-
tion carried.

tion submitted by Mary Hudelson. Motion
