    New shop and classrooms needs further research Town Board will reseastorm sewer project fBy Teddi Carlson

    All five school board membersnvened monday night to makeportant decisions at their regu-

    r monthly session.For many months the board hasscussed possible ways to solvee problems that have developedthe shop building. In the firstase it leaks when it rains orow melts on the roof and sec-dly mold could be developingcause of the leaking condition.

    rt teacher Tarina Kopren whoas present said, I dont want toork in a building where theresold. It wouldnt be good for theudents. Mice have also beenen in the building at times. Theard agreed that something mustdone soon before more problemsvelop. Board member Angie

    hompson researched the possibil-y of getting a grant to construct aw shop building that coulduse a shop and two classrooms.wever, she found that no grantse available other than a USDAan. Presently the board has eararked $300,000. for this build-g. Could a governor's home beed for this purpose? Superinten-nt Kraemer commented that thehool could not reach the require-ents to purchase one. Another

    ea was to use pre-fab housing forass rooms as the Faith Publichool used for many years. Krae-er will research this idea to de-rmine if that could be a possibil-y. At any rate the Board contin-s to work at solving these prob-

    ms without spending a half mil-n dollars to accomplish this

    which is the estimated cost of anew building.

    Last month board memberswere given forms to evaluate Su-perintendent Kraemer for the pastschool year. These forms werecompiled and discussed in execu-tive session, privately and thenwith Kraemer. The boards consen-sus was that Kraemer was evalu-ated as above average. No otherdecisions were made on this issueat this time.

    After a few months of searchingfor basketball coaches the Boardhas offered contracts as follows:Corbin Alley for varsity boys bas-ketball and 7th and 8th boys bas-ketball; Sarah Holzer for varsitygirls basketball; BreAnn Nelsonfor assistant girls basketball. Atthis time no one has been found tobe the varsity boys basketball as-sistant coach. All of these con-tracts were approved.

    A memorandum of Agreementwith the State Department of Ed-ucation was discussed. Kraemerreported that the school lawyersuggested that the Board approveit. The agreement asks for muchpersonal information on each stu-dent. The board wants to knowwhat the information is used forand what it has and would it ac-

    complish. As a result it was theboards decision NOT to sign theagreement. Kraemer will researchmore about the agreement and in-form the board in the future.

    The floor at the Fair Buildingneeds some attention because it isnot adequate for students thatpractice basketball there. Board

    member Marcie Brownlee-Kariwonders who is responsible tokeep it in good shape. She ques-tions if the school should continueto pay money to lease the FairBuilding since it is used only twomonths out of the year. Cleanli-ness in the bathrooms and thebuilding in general also needs tobe addressed.

    Dan Beckman, Northwest AreaSchools Education Coop represen-tative from the school board, gavea report on a recent meeting he at-tended. The special ed speechteacher who worked at the Bisonand Harding County schools hasresigned. Now the coop is search-ing for another person to fill thisposition. In the coop a car is nowavailable for drivers education toteach students how to drive. Adri-vers ed teacher is also availablefrom the coop. This could be a pro-gram the school could implement.

    Kraemer proudly displayed theplaque won by the Oral Interp stu-dents at the State Competition inYankton. The group received a su-perior to earn this plaque.

    In other action:The board passed a motion to

    advertise for an Assistant AthleticDirector.

    The Board agreed to dispose of

    some surplus old encyclopediasand walk-in freezer parts.

    The audit report was ap-proved.

    The Board approved a motionto authorize the Board PresidentDan Kvale to send communica-tions affirming the administrativehandling of a complaint.

    By Gladys JacksonThe Bison Town Board met with

    one member (Dave Kopren) absenton Monday evening, December 10to, among other items; vote on thelong-debated storm sewer project.Before a vote was taken, Chair-man Chapman stated he wishedthe whole Board were in atten-dance for this, but opened the floorfor discussion. Mike Lockert haddone some homework and told theBoard he didnt think the Town

    could afford to do this whole proj-ect at one time as it would leavethe Town without enough moneyin a cash reserve account, andevery business needs a cash re-serve for emergencies, etc. He hadhad several citizens approach himwith concerns about more waterbeing sent to the City Park as wellas putting the holding pond in themiddle of Town. He also receivedquestions as to why not use thelarger pipe as it will take longer todrain with the proposed 24 pipe.Mike felt that if the storm sewerproject was done in phases, itmight mean a little more paid inengineering fees, but it would beworth it in the long run to have amore feasible plan. He presented

    an idea where Main Street recon-struction would wait, and a newMain Street grant could be appliedfor after the first phase of thestorm sewer was completed. Thiswould make it easier to get a grantfor Main Street, which is more likea 60/40 grant.

    He proposed that the first phaseof the storm sewer project be fromMain Street west past Terry Hag-garts and that the idea of a hold-ing pond be built at the end of thisline somewhere rather than in themiddle of Town.

    The idea of getting a bettergrant for the Main Street recon-struction part of the sewer projectinterested the rest of the Board.Chairman Chapman asked Mike

    to check into all of this, make somephone calls and report back at theupcoming Special December 28thboard meeting. Hopefully, thewhole Board can be present tomake a decision then.

    Shortly before the Board Meet-ing began, members of the Board,along with Finance Officer BethHulm had attended a short secu-rity camera demonstration at theBison Bar.

    Other items of business wereconducted which included someairport validation paperwork inregard to the Airport Improvement

    Select the perfect Christmas Tree using these About 36 million Christmas treese sold between Thanksgiving and

    hristmas. While artificial treesjoyed increased sales for the pastcade, those sales have stagnatedd now there is a return to havinge traditional tree, says John Ball,

    DSU Extension Forestry Special-.

    "A traditional Christmas tree isso the environmentally friendlyay to celebrate the holidays. Theerage artificial Christmas trees a life span of six years before itds up in a landfill. The tradi-nal Christmas tree, while usedly one season, can become valu-le mulch, a winter bird feeder oren used as a fish habitat after thelidays," Ball said.Here are some tips on picking oute perfect tree.

    he way to obtain the freshest treeto harvest it yourself at a choose-d-cut Christmas tree farm, Ballys."This way you are guaranteed aesh" tree rather than one that

    ay have been harvested several

    eeks earlier," he said.If cutting your own tree is notssible, Ball says to use these tipscheck for freshness at a Christ-

    as tree sales lot.First, give the tree a light butgorous shake. Only a few interioredles should fall out of the tree ifs fresh. If a pile of brown needlespears on the ground below the

    ee, particularly from the branchps, it is not a fresh tree.ext, reach into a branch and pulle needles gently through yournd as you move out towards the

    p. The needles should bend, noteak, as your fingers run acrossem and the branch should only

    slightly bend.Regardless of whether you buy a

    tree from a lot or cut it yourself,once you get the tree home, leave itoutside while you set the stand up.

    Ball says the choice of a stand isprobably the most critical factor inmaintaining the freshness of thetree once in the home.

    "The stand should be able to holdone-half to one-gallon of water asthe new Christmas tree may absorbup to this amount in the first day,"Ball said.

    A good rule-of-thumb he shares isa tree will use 1 quart of water perday for every inch trunk diameterat the base. If you have a tree witha 3-inch base, it may use 3 quartsof water per day.

    Just before you bring the tree inthe house cut the base about one-inch from the bottom. Ball says thiswill open the sap-filled tracheids -the pores responsible for transport-ing water - and allows water to beabsorbed into the tree. The base cutdoes not have to be slanted; theangle makes little difference in the

    amount of water absorbed.Once the tree is in the stand add

    water and then, Ball says to never-let the stand become empty.

    "If the stand becomes empty formore than six hours, the tree'spores plug up. Water uptake willthen be significantly reduced, thetree will dry out and the needleswill soon begin to fall," he said. "Ifthe tree stand does dry up for half aday or more there is nothing thatcan be done other than pull the treeout of the stand and recut the base- not a pleasant task once the lightsand ornaments are already up."

    Ball also says that nothing needsto be added to the water in the

    stand to improve needle retention."The commercial "tree fresher"

    products do not significantly in-crease the life of the tree and thehome remedies such as aspirin,sugar, soft drinks and vodka do notwork and may be harmful to petsthat may drink from the stand," hesaid.

    Place the stand in a spot that re-ceives only indirect light from thewindows and not near any heatduct. Ball says this will reducewater loss from the tree and pro-long its freshness.

    "Another tip to prolonging fresh-ness is to start out with a cleanstand. Before setting up the treewash the stand out with a solutionof about a capful of bleach to a cupof water, to reduce the growth ofmicroorganisms that may also plugup the tree's pores,"

    Which is the best tree?Ball says each species has its goodpoints, but the Fraser fir is proba-bly one of the favorites.

    "The tree is very fragrant, has ex-cellent needle retention and the

    branches are stiff enough to holdornaments. Balsam fir is anothergood choice though the needles donot last as long and the branchesare not quite as stiff. Canaan fir,another popular fir appears to havequalities similar to Frasier fir andis also becoming a popular Christ-mas tree," he said.

    Pines are very popular withScotch pine probably the most pop-ular tree in the country. It also isvery fragrant, has excellent needleretention and the branches arestiff.

    "White pine is another pine com-monly sold at Christmas treestands and has a fair fragrance, butthe needle retention is not quite asgood as Scotch pine and the

    branches are very flexible meaningheavy ornaments may fall off," hesaid. "White pines do have very softneedles and if you are going to runinto the tree in the middle of thenight this is the one."

    Spruces are not as popular ofChristmas trees, says Ball, prima-rily due to their poor needle reten-tion.

    "If you want to have a bluespruce as your Christmas tree, youprobably should wait until a coupleof weeks before Christmas as theneedles may only last that long.

    Once the needles begin to fall, bluespruce are about the worst tree tohave as the fallen needles are sharpand seem to find their way intosocks and slippers," he said.

    Blue spruce haretention of the snot have much ofbranches are verand can support tments. White spruspruce is not comthough is used in

    As we honestly look at our lives life, we must confess we need help, Gods help. Since we are sinneapproach our holy God. Certainly we can try to reach him, but there is always another obstacle, a

    TREE FACTS Windbreaks and snow management

    By Robert W. Drown,Natural Resource Specialist

    Windbreaks can provide protec-n from high winds and blowingow. In open areas, winds lift,rry and deposit snowflakes.indbreaks modify wind flow andstribute blowing snow. There areveral different types of wind-

    eaks: field windbreaks, livingow fences, farmsteads and feed-

    lot windbreaks and livestock pro-tection shelterbelts, all requireproper planning, implementationand maintenance.

    Field windbreaks can be used tospread out snow across fields pro-viding soil moisture for crops andforage production during the next

    growing season. Studies haveshown that on average, wheatyields are increased by 15 to 20percent. Field windbreaks need tobe designed to have a 40% densityin order to provide uniform snowdistribution across a field. Thiscan be accomplished by planting asingle row of tall deciduous treesat 15 to 20 feet spacing perpendi-cular to the prevailing winds. Sin-gle rows should be evenly spacedacross the field at a distance 10 to15 times the expected matureheight of the trees.

    Living Snow Fences are an ef-fective method of controlling blow-ing snow. Living snow fences canbe planted along highways, roadsand driveways to provide public

    benefits, livestock protection, cropprotection, wildlife habitat, and

    aesthetic value. Living snowfences achieve optimum storagecapacity when winter density isabout 50 to 60 percent. Densitywill vary with the number andspacing of tree rows, tree species.The height of the trees is impor-tant since snow storage capacity

    increases more than four timeswhen height doubles.

    A living snow fence needs to belocated perpendicular to the pre-vailing winter winds and the areato be protected located downwind.The worst winter winds come fromthe northwest, north, or northeast.Living snow fences should be lo-cated on the north side of east-west roads and the west side ofnorth-south roads. They should belocated a minimum of 175 feetfrom the centerline of the roadsand no closer than 200 feet fromcorners or intersections for trafficvisibility.

    Farmstead or feedlot wind-breaks reduce the force of winterwinds and create a sheltered zone

    or microclimate on the downwindsides of windbreaks. These wind-

    breaks provide protection fromblowing and drifting snow. With-out windbreak protection, farm-houses and other structures are atthe mercy of severe swirling windcurrents and snow drifting, requir-ing additional hours of labor forsnow removal. Feedlot and live-

    stock windbreaks can be used tomaintain areas free from deepsnow where hay and feed arestored. Livestock are able to getout of strong winds and drivingsnow, reducing animal stress, de-creasing feed requirements, re-sulting in better animal health,lower death loss, and lower feedcosts.

    Farmstead and feedlot wind-breaks should be located so thatthe windward row is a least 150feet from buildings, driveways andfeed bunks to provide room forsnow drifting downwind. Thereshould be 75 to 100 feet from thedownwind side of the windbreakand the area to be protected.There should be at least 50 feet be-

    tween the windbreak and roads orother features that may be withinthe zone of the windward snow-drift. Also, the windbreak shouldbe extended 100 feet beyond thearea to be protected to prevent thedrifts from forming at the ends.My source for this news releasewas the South Dakota Depart-ment of Agriculture Division of Re-source Conservation and Forestry.If you would like more informationabout Windbreaks and SnowManagement, contact Bob Drownat the Conservation Office at 605-244-5222, Extension 4 or by e-mailat [email protected].

    Weekend blizzard offers little moisturerelief to farmers & ranchers

    The weekend blizzard, whichdropped between 5 and 10 inchesof snow on most of eastern SouthDakota won't have much of an im-pact on drought conditions in farmcountry says Dennis Todey, StateClimatologist.

    "The blizzard will do very littlefor soil moisture because soilswere frozen or near freezing priorto the storm," Todey said.

    Because the snow was fairly liq-uid, Todey says when it does melt,it may contribute about 1 inch ofsoil moisture.

    With most of the snow falling inthe eastern half of the state, Todeyadds that central and westernSouth Dakota farmers whoplanted winter wheat did not ben-

    efit from the storm.In addition to visibility issues

    during the storm, Todey says thestorm creates challenges for manycattle producers who will have topull grazing cattle off corn andsoybean fields and move snow outof feedlot pens.

    For personal safety, Todey en-courages South Dakotans to watchthe National Weather Service Website, weather.gov or NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Admin-istration weather radio for winterstorm updates and both NationalWeather Service and CommunityCollaborative Rain, Hail and Snownetwork, cocorahs.org, for latestsnow totals.

    ay night with an 83-point effortboard the Burch Rodeo horseamed Lunatic Fringe. Out of the5-horse field, that was the one he

    wanted and coincidentally, the onethat was randomly drawn for himto ride.

    I wanted that horse because Iknew I could ride him and he fitmy style, Elshere said. My planthe whole time was to just keepspurring him and seeing whathappened in the end.

    What happened earned the 24-year-old $18,257 bringing hisearnings here so far to $28,848.

    The former Gillette College rodeostandout used his National Inter-collegiate Rodeo Association expe-rience to prepare him for the nextlevel of competition.

    horses and it definitely helped meget to this level.
