By Lita WellsThe monthly board meeting,th all members present, metednesday, August 7. The meet-g was changed from the regularonday meeting day to a Wednes-y because this was the onlyght that Interstate Engineering,ck Hoffman could meet with theard. The meeting began withinterview for the one applicablerson that applied for the TownBison position. The interview

as done in executive sessionanner and lasted about 15 min-es After coming out from execu-

ve session the board got going on

eir lengthy agenda for the Au-st meeting. First up was a sta-s report from Heath McKinstry.cKinstry reported that therinklers in the city park are notraying like they are suppose tohe is going to look into this a lit- deeper. He has also been busy

eaning all the water valve boxesound town on the streets, allve been vacuumed and cleanedt and all are functioning. Theher project that he would like tot done before winter hits is find-g the service line on the corner

Coleman Ave and Canvasreet. When found they are talk-g of putting a curb stop here be-use both of the lines that runer there are abandoned build-gs. They believe it is in the ditchmewhere but has been covered over the years. But more workneeded to be done to resolve thesue.Next Nick Hoffman from Inter-ate Engineering came to visitth the board about the

Lagoon/Sanitary project. The fundengineering report and fund facil-ity plan has been approved fromDENR and been sent back to Hoff-man.The topics that were dis-cussed to go on the plan was thelagoon having rift raft put aroundthem, putting a lift station in thelagoon, upgrading the lagoon tomake it bigger, upgrading the san-itary sewer system throughout thetown of Bison. The initial plan wasto put lining down around lagoons4 and 5. But Hoffman believes itwould be best to do all of the la-goons to stop the erosion and pre-vent the dirt from filling the

lagoons up. Also the town needs toupgrade the sanitary sewer sys-tem throughout the town of Bison.In the sanitary project there is onearea that is in a critical state. Thisis from 1st Ave and all the wayeast to the gravel road, needs to berelined. When the survey wasdone with cameras it showed a lotof lateral cracks along this stretchof pipe. When fixing this area theywill not have to tear up the roadthey will just reline it under theroad. The other concern is aboutthe line that runs right under thecourthouse but the workers willhave to deal with this when theyget to that stretch of pipe. But itmay or may not be done this yeardue to the funding. On the plusside the lagoon and the pipe underthe street are two separate itemsand pull money from two separatepots. The plan for this project hasa 10 year timeline. The timeline isnot structured where you can onlydo certain things per year. Theonly thing that will be slowing the

By Lita Wells

I am pleased to announce thenew 4-H Extension Secretary/As-sistant Rebekah Veal. Veals posi-tion is a full time position at thecourthouse. Her time at the court-house is a split time however. Halfof the time she helps Kelli Schu-macher, the 4-H Educator. Theother time, she is the secretary toStates Attorney, Shane Penfield.Getting ready for the fair, the twoladies have formed a great team-work relationship. They are bothlearning together as Veal andSchumacher are new employees.

Veal however, is not a strangerto 4-H as she also was a memberof 4-H when she was a child. Shewas active in 4-H from 5th to 7thgrade. She enjoyed doing cookies,

flower arranging, and cake deco-rating. Along with Schumacher,Veal is also bringing a lot of expe-rience with her to the job.

Veal was born and raised inNorthern Illinois, on a familyfarm. The farm is located 30 milesfrom Wisconsin border. She grad-uated from Winnebago HighSchool in 2002, at Winnebago, Illi-nois. She then furthered her edu-cation at Black Hawk College inKewanee, Illinois. At Black HawkCollege she got her Associates De-gree, in Agricultural Production.Shortly after getting her degree at

process is the available money andworking time. Hoffman did sug-gest that whatever the board de-cides to do that they should groupthings together due to living insuch a remote area and not just doone block at a time. All these deci-sions need to be sorted out becausethe board needs to get the paperwork done because it has to be re-viewed at a state meeting that isscheduled for September 27. Theboard decided that Hoffmanshould talk with Heath McKinstrybecause he knows more about thepipes in Bison than the boarddoes. The board feels that they

will only be able to afford one stepat a time. The lagoon or the fixingof the pipes throughout town aretheir choices right now and the de-cision will be made on which ismore urgent to get done. JuellChapman made a comment toHoffman that whatever they do itall has to last for a long time. Nowork on this project is starting yetand the board doesn't know if itwill even get started this year. Itall depends on when it startssnowing.

The next speaker at the meetingwas Shane Steiner. Steiner wasthere to discuss the bids that camein for the Airport Fuel Systemproject. The bids for this projectwas advertised twice in all thenewspapers. The first bids thatcame in on July 19th were ex-tremely high from two contractors.The engineer's opinion at thistime, was that the project wasgoing to cost $170,700.00. The twocompanies that submitted bidswere Meyer Contracting from

Eew, Whats that White Fuzz?This summer we have seen anunusual amount of rain on ourmature gardens. You probablyhave a lot of growth in your gar-den and dense plants; this is arecipe for powdery mildew. Pow-dery mildew is unattractive and itcan affect the flavor and reduceyields of some fruits and vegeta-bles. Although plants are un-sightly and can be weakened by aninfection, they do not usually die.Powdery mildew on ornamentalsis an aesthetic issue, and not usu-ally worth treating. Preventionand control is more important forvegetables because it affects theproducts appearance and flavor.Powdery Mildew is often found on

roses and peas are quite suscepti-ble, however it can infect manyplants if the conditions are right.The key to preventing it is plant-ing mildew-resistant or mildew-tolerant varieties. Resistant vari-eties get less mildew than suscep-tible varieties; tolerant varietiesmay get some mildew, but itshouldn't affect the performance ofthe plant. If you order seeds froma catalog it should state which dis-eases the variety has a resistanceto or tolerance.

Prevention also includes sitingplants where they will have goodair circulation, and exposing asmuch leaf surface as possible to di-rect sunlight, which inhibits sporegermination. Heavy foliage as

By Teddi CarlsonFour Bison School Board mem-

bers met Monday night at theschool to face a busy agenda attheir regular monthly session.Board member Angie thompsonwas absent.

The new superintendent, Mrs

Marilyn Azevedo, informed theboard that the school will be re-viewed for accreditation this com-ing spring by the state. Thisreview is done every five to sevenyears and can be a desk review oran on sight review. She remarkedthat the last written review wasdone in 2007. She showed concernthat documentation on evalua-tions for teachers and para profes-sionals (teachers aides) needed tobe done since 2010 but has notbeen done. According to stateguidelines every teacher and parprofessional needs to be evaluatedonce a year. Azevedo will be work-ing hard to get the necessary eval-uations done before theaccreditation review this coming

spring.The State Report Card was dis-

cussed. This card will also beplaced at various business placesfor the public to read. For the pastfew years the scores have gonedown significantly in some areas.Scores are good in reading but

poor in math. Just a few poor scor-ing students can bring down theaverage. Azevedo suggested thatremedial programs in math areneeded to raise the scores. A newtest called Smarter Balance As-sessment (Common Core) will beimplemented in May, 2014 for stu-dent evaluation in South Dakota.In the past the Dakota Step Test-ing program has been done. Thenew test is more academicallychallenging. high School ACT testscores brought down the BisonHigh School scores. Azevedoshowed examples of evaluationsfor teachers and para profession-als used in New Hampshire thatcould be used in the Bison School.the state of South Dakota is now

working on a form that will beused in the future to evaluate su-perintendents. After teachers andpara professionals have been eval-uated by the superintendent they

will see their evaluations and re-ceive a score. Receiving a score ishard for many teachers to accept,said Azevedo . Yet evaluations arenecessary for the good of theschool. The Bison School teacherswill be trained in five sessions bya team from Rapid City on Fridays

to help get their students ready forthe Common Core evaluation test.Azevedo will work hard to preparethe teachers for this new test.

Coaches for the coming schoolterm have now been hired as fol-lows: Wayne Sanders will be headcoach for Football and Boys Bas-ketball. BreAnn Nelson will beHead Girls Basketball and Assis-tant Volleyball. Lauren Holderwill be the Athletic Director. Thefirst football game will be on au-gust 30th at Newell.

There are a lot of people who faithfully buy their lottery tickets once even twice a week.They are hoping to not only win a fortune but also peace of mind and happiness. Almost

always their investment results in disappointment, but they still continue to place hope insomething that is virtually hopeless. Wouldn't it be great to find a ticket that would

guarantee a lifelong win? I want to share with you the fortune I have received in my lifethat became mine only by asking for it. Jesus is the only winning ticket to abundant life, joy

unspeakable, peace that passes all understanding, eternal life in heaven, and many otherblessings too numerous to count. I want you to know:

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY THE JESUS TICKET!THERE IS AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF TICKETS!ALL JESUS TICKETS ARE WINNERS!

JESUS GIVES THE TICKET FREELY TO WHOMEVER ASKS FOR ONE!

I've seen the reaction of those who have won the lottery. They jump up and down, rollaround on the ground, or cry tears of joy. They even thank God. Years later their lives are

filled with despair and hopelessness because they realize that their fortune did not bring thethings they were expecting. I thank God for my Jesus ticket because I know that whatevercomes in life, I have a mansion prepared in heaven for me and His power to live while here

on earth.

DO YOU HAVE THE WINNING TICKET? JESUS SAYS, "ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE,SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND, KNOCK AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPENED UNTO YOU."

aving Ones Verywn JunkyardThere is a reason why ournch has its very own junk-

ard. The term junkyard isst to mislead others about itsal purposeits a redneck

nchers spare parts and ma-rials warehouse.The big and bulky items thate stored down at our junk-

ard out of sight are oftenmes parted-out or resur-cted for reuse in a differentrm later on. When rancheas turn into projects, therst thing my welder-husbandes is rummage around thenkyard for usable materials

e can scab off of somethingse. Running to town or theearest big city is not very con-nient or handy when theubs wants to bring his inno-

ative idea into fruition ur-ntly. The junkyard is hiseferred go-to source for many

nch project plans because itvoids having to send me on aalf-day round trip to the city,sking that Ill get the wrongaterials, and spendingoney.The junkyard is a ranchersayground. Okay, more like a

ranchers wifes playground. Ioftentimes discover treasuresthere and find the majority ofmaterials in the burn pile andscrap metal piles located therefor my rustic and distressed-look so-called projects, but our

junkyard is a vital componentto our ranching operation.

As Ive mentioned before,

ranching families like ours liveout the motto of the MarineCorps. daily: Improvise,

Adapt, Overcome. We are al-ways partaking in one or acombination of, improvising,adapting, and overcomingsomething. Our ability to carryout any of these is often timesachieved by repurposing re-sources in our junkyard.

Its the first place my hubbywent to create our amped-upranch improvements like theblack Toyota and Dodge pick-ups big game intimidator grillguards, the hay-hauling rackextensions that he built for the30 flatbed trailer, and the con-verted dump truck bed-turned-large-capacity-water-hauling-trailer. He has welded all sortsof clever cow and ranch task-related conveniences I lovethat were derived from junk-yard scrap including the re-tractable ATV calf-packer rack,

ATV calf packer sled, and nu-

merous ATV accessories. Oneor the other of our four-wheel-ers have a custom travel mugholder, horseshoe replace-ment gear shifting pedal, spot-light stand, sorting stickholder that doubles as a mockroping saddle horn (for use indoctoring cows or calves on therange), metal box for storing

fencing materials, and a barb-wire spool holder. Of all the

junkyard innovations heswelded, my all-time favorite isthe creep feed chute system.With feed stored upstairs,were now able to fill feed buck-ets at ground level where wefeed our heifers instead ofpacking five gallon buckets offeed down the rickety barnsteps with extreme caution. Itsa chore I dont dread anymorebecause the junkyard repur-

posed material created a time-saver for packing buckets upand down the steps and elimi-nated the safety hazard stepsall together.

The items in the junkyardare the perfect resource for myhusbands system upgradesand improvements becausethey satisfy his pocketbook

hoarding tendencies. In an in-tense project-building modethe junkyard has also providedhim with a plethora of ironscrap to carry out his weldingproject plans instantly, satisfy-ing his need for instant gratifi-cation-type projects.

Even though weve beenmarried 19 years now, I alwaysknow sparks are gonna flywith my husband whenever hesays, Im goin to the junkyardto look for somethin.

mend this because when you getfuel to fill it a tanker would come inand fill Bison tank and then go andfill Lemmon's tank. A tanker truckholds any where from 8,000 to10,000 gallons. The new tank thatis planned to go into the Bison air-port is a horizontal tank that has adouble wall tank. The double walltank insures no leakage. The lifeexpectancy and warranty of a tankthis size is 30 years. The tank willalso be a 24 hour access pump.

Right now if planes want to fuel upthey have to call a number andsomeone has to go up to the airportand unlock it for the pilot. Surveyletters have been sent out to all thepilots in the area and have been re-turned stating that if Bison had a24 hour access pump that 1,000 orso gallons would be used per year.It would open Bison Airport to beused by more planes. Beth Hulmsays she gets call all the time aboutthe airport if we have fuel butmany don't stop because the pumpis not accessible without someoneunlocking it. However, with otherproject in the works, the board feelsthat they can not take the bid fromMeyer Contracting and decidedthat they will re list the bid in the

fall again, hoping that they get alesser bid that fits. The plan statesthat they have 3 years to do thisproject.

On other topic that they dis-cussed about the airport was thetrees at the end of Runway 29.There are 15 feet of trees that needto be trimmed. Currently this is notin the state plan so the Town ofBison has to foot the whole bill this

year. This is a liathe town of Bison airport will be board is in the pthis in a plan andonly have to pay 5bill. But for this Bison is going to hif they can show pThe bill for trimmfollows: There artrees that need cost of $150, 5 m

Fargo, ND and U.S. Site Workfrom Monticello, MN. Meyer Con-tracting bid on July 19th was thathe could complete the job for$323,350. U.D. Site Work submit-ted a bid then to at the cost of$394,003.00. So they opened it upfor more bids but the second time,on August 6, when bids wereturned in they lost U.S. Site Work

and only got a bid from Meyer Con-tracting. For some reason on thesecond bid sheet the Engineer'sOpinion was more than what heoriginally forecasted On August 6,the Engineer's Opinion was thatthe project was going to cost$225,850.00. Meyer Contractingdid lessen his bid by about $10,000with a bid of $311,350. The boardfeels that all of the bids are way tohigh at this time. If the town tookMeyer Contracting bid of $311,350they also would have added cost of

Administration Preliminary & De-sign, Construction Observation,and Close out report which wouldrun an additional $46,650. So thewhole project would cost$358,000.00. It however would not

cost the town $358,000.00 becausethe FAA would be paying 90%, theState would pay 5% and the townwould only have to pay 5% of thebid. So it would cost the Town ofBison $17,900. The reason the proj-ect is so spendy is the tank it selfcosts $84,000, according to MeyerContracting. The tank is a 4,000gallon tank and this is what theFAA recommends. They recom-

Not much moisture this week, lessan a quarter inch here, but we hadme beautiful weather. These nicearm days and cool nights could bedictive.Casey and crew headed out earlyonday morning for the Rodeo Bibleamp at Kadoka. Casey has beene steer wrestling instructor at the

deo camp for several years andis year Bryce and Trig, a pile ofrses, and Ryne Baier went alonghelp. Dalton and Sadee Hurst andyle Brink also attended from

arding County. Pastor Michaelandt, Pam Howes favoriteother, was the speaker at campis year and Pastor Wes and Suebrier from Union Center taughtble classes. Jim Hunt thoughtchael needed a hat so hed fit in atmp, so Jim bought a nice strawt, had his kids shape it, and gaveto Michael. The kids said he

oked really good in it too!Michael and his family lived inettinger while his father, Erwinandt, was pastor of the Ellingson

utheran Parish in the Ralph areathe 1950s and 1960s. Michael was

stor at Abiding Savior in Siouxlls and he started the radio pro-am from there that is broadcaster KBHB Radio at 8:00 Sundayorning.Taz stayed home to help Grandpaul bales from the hayfields to they corrals. This was Tazs last weeksummer vacation and he left

rly Sunday morning to start foot-

ball practice in Chadron Sunday af-ternoon. He wont be home againuntil Labor Day weekend.

I cut up the cabbage my sistergave me last week to make fivepounds of sauerkraut Tuesday whilethe guys were hauling hay and fix-ing gates. Wednesday, while theguys were still hauling hay, I walked

down to the lone chokecherry treegrowing out of the wood pile andstood on some precarious perches topick three gallons of plump, ripechokecherries. Thursday I cookedand juiced the chokecherries andmade a couple apple pies, and Fri-day I made 19 jars of chokecherry

jelly. With all these provisions Imputting by, Im almost ready forwinter! Not that Im looking forwardto cold weather!

Missy rode down to Kadoka withLaDelle Brink and Julie Hurst forthe Bible camp rodeo Thursday af-ternoon and the crew got back to theranch late Thursday night. Bryceand Trig unloaded the trailer Fridaymorning and Ryne Baier left earlythat morning for his fencing job.

Our area lost a couple of our own

this week. Norman Vansickel, 86,Spearfish, died Thursday atSpearfish Regional Hospital. Nor-man was born and raised at Opalwhere he and his wife McGee(Schuelke)ranched for years beforeretiring and moving to Spearfish.Normans funeral will be held Tues-day in Spearfish with burial at theBlack Hills National Cemetery.

Carl Ogaard, 81, longtime BelleFourche business man, passed awaylast Saturday in Belle Fourche. Hewas the son of Olaf and MarieOgaard from the Lodgepole area.Carls funeral services will also beTuesday in Belle Fourche.

As a side note, our house was builtfor Olaf and Marie Ogaard at their

place west of Lodgepole in 1928.When our tiny trailer house becametoo crowded for our rapidly expand-ing family, we bought the house fromGlen Strid, moved it to our ranchand set it on a walk-in basement.Dean and Lola Oja were working atthe Simpson ranch at the time andLola came over to help me knock theplaster off the walls and ceilings sowe could insulate it and sheetrockthe inside. In 1992 we were right inthe middle building on an additionwhen Reubs Dad passed away.Time sure flies.
